A day had passed since their first encounter with The Mystery Duelist. Yusei, Jack and Crow spent that time deciding who would be the best choice to duel him, with them eventually deciding that Jack should do it. As the three drove down the bridge they met The Duelist at, they were discussing what to do.

"Are you sure about this Jack?" Yusei asked. He wasn't sure if Jack should duel, and was more than willing to volunteer himself.

"Of course I am. I will not let this guy get away with taking peoples cards." Jack replied, a firm grip on his runner. I plan on taking this guy to school, and my Red Dragon Archfiend is going to be at the center of it Jack thought. Hope you like a taste of your own medicine.

Soon they heard the sounds of a familiar engine running. Sure enough, they saw The Mystery Duelist driving up behind them, before pulling to a stop just behind them. He stayed on his runner, looking at the three of them.

"Alright. You wanted a duel, now which one of you am I facing?"

"You'll be dueling me. Any problems with that?" Jack sneered, revving on the accelerator of his runner.

"None." With that he ignited the engine of his Duel runner, and drove up next to Jack. The two activated the monitors on their runners, signaling the Speed World field spell to activate. The world around them became more vibrant as the holographic field activated.

"Good luck" The Mystery Duelist said to Jack. "You're going to need it."

"You wish" Jack retorted.

With that a countdown timer appeared in front of the two, and once it reached zero the two drove off, with Yusei and Crow following behind at a safe distance.

"LET'S RIDE" The two said, drawing their hands, as the Turbo Duel began.

?: 4000 Life Points

Jack Atlas: 4000 Life Points

"I'll be going first, if you don't mind!" Jack said, drawing from his deck. He takes a brief moment to examine his hand, before deciding his plan of attack.

"I summon my Mad Archfiend, in attack mode!" He said, placing the card on his runners' disk. The creature appeared beside his runner, with 1800 ATK points being displayed alongside it. 'Then I place one card face down and end my turn." Jack added, placing the two cards down and passing the turn over to The Mystery Duelist.

Let's see what you have in that deck today Jack thought, as The Mystery Duelist drew a card.

"To start, I summon a monster face down in Defense Mode." He said, placing the card on his duel disk. "I then place 1 card face down and end my turn."

"Is that all you got? Because if you, this is going to be a very short duel!" Jack retorted, a grin of cockiness forming on his face as he drew from his deck. "Mad Archfiend, Attack!"

With that command, the Mad Archfiend crushed the skull between the two halves of its body and fired its pieces at the face down. As the attack connected, the card flipped over, revealing a small, flaming dragon, known as Flamvell Guard. It was tinted blue, signifying that it was in Defense Mode, as 2000 DEF flashed next to it.

"Dang, looks like you got off scott free this time. But your luck will run out soon enough!" Jack said, as he lost 200 Life Points from that attack. "I end my turn there."

"If so, then I shall draw." The Mystery Duelist said. "Now let's see…Ah, here we go. I shall release my Flamvell Guard, so I may summon Kabuki Dragon to the field in Attack mode."

As he said that, the Flamvell Guard became enveloped in an array of colors, deforming into a sphere before transforming into the Kabuki Dragon; A large, serpent like dragon, with red and green running down its body, and a large white mane. The dragon roared as 2300 ATK points appeared alongside it.

"Now let's make this interesting. I activate a Speed Spell – Mystical Space Typhoon!" He said, as the card appeared beside him. A small tornado launched from the card, taking out Jack's facedown.

"By removing 2 speed counters, my Typhoon destroys one spell or trap on the field." With that The Mystery Duelist raised his hand, as the Kabuki Dragon turned its attention to Jacks Mad Archfiend. "Kabuki Dragon, destroy that Mad Archfiend."

Kabuki Dragon roared as it rushed towards the Mad Archfiend, devouring it in a single motion. Jack grimaced, but his lifepoints were unaffected.

"Nice try, but Mad Archfiend's special ability switches it to defense mode when its targeted for an attack" Jack said.

"With that, I return my face down to the field, and end my turn." The Mystery Duelist said, returning the card to its rightful place.

Jack took a moment before beginning his turn to formulate a plan of attack. This guy has completely cleared my field, and he has that dragon out. I think it's time to bring out the big guns…

"Alright you, I draw!" He said, examining his hand.

"Let's see how you like it. When I have no monsters on my field and you do, I can special summon my Vice Dragon!" Jack laid the card down in ATK mode, spawning the purple dragon. Its attack points were displayed as 2400, before being reduced to 1200 due to its special ability. Normally, the monster required a tribute of one monster, but since Jacks field was empty and The Mystery Duelists wasn't, he could summon it, at the cost of half its ATK and DEF.

"But that's not all. I now summon my Dark Resonator!" With that he added a second monster to his field, a dark creature carrying a tuning fork and staff, as 1300 ATK displayed alongside it.

"I think you know what's next, pal. Because now I am going to tune my Dark Resonator with my Vice Dragon!" Dark Resonator tapped its staff to the tuning fork, creating a sound as the monster became engulfed in white light. In an instant it transformed into three large, green rings, which surrounded the Vice Dragon, who was slowly changed into stars, one for each of its levels. The stars filtered to the center of the column the rings formed, as they became engulfed in a pillar of light.

"I Synchro Summon, my Red Dragon Archfiend!"

The pillar of light disappeared, replaced by Jacks signature monster. A huge, bipedal, black and red dragon that vaguely looked like a demon. It stretched its massive wings as it let out a thunderous roar, with 3000 ATK appearing beside it.

"Now, attack my dragon! Destroy his Kabuki Dragon!" Jacks Red Dragon Archfiend opened its mouth, generating a large fireball which it quickly launched at The Mystery Duelists dragon, destroying it in a fiery explosion, as his life points dropped from 4000 to 3200.

"That's all from me. What are you going to do now that your favorite kind of monster is against you?" Jack taunted, smiling as his Red Dragon Archfiend roared once more. The Mystery Duelist did not respond, instead opting to draw from his deck.

"Allow me to show you. I'll start by activating a Speed Spell, Foolish Burial!" The card appeared beside him, showing a hand wielding a shovel rising out of a gravestone. "This card allows me to send one monster from my deck to the Graveyard, at the cost of 2 Speed Counters."

Wait, why would he want to send a monster straight to the Graveyard? Unless…He needs it there for a summon! Jack thought, as The Mystery Duelist selected a card out of his deck and sent it to the graveyard. It appeared on the field very briefly before disappearing, showing that it was a small, purple dragon, named Hunter Dragon.

"Let's put that dragon to good use, shall we? I activate the effect of Darkflare Dragon!" The Mystery Duelist placed said monster onto his duel disk, calling it out onto the field. It was a four-winged black and purple dragon, with bits of red on its neck and legs. 2400 ATK points appeared next to it, as transparent versions of the Hunter Dragon and Kabuki Dragon appeared next to it.

"See, when I have a Light, and a Dark attribute monster in my graveyard, I can special summon Darkflare Dragon at the cost of banishing those two." Said monsters vanished after he finished his sentence, now out of the game. "But I'm not done. Now I think is a good time to reveal my face-down, Call of the Haunted!"

The Mystery Duelists face down lifted, showing an image of ghostly spirits rising from multiple tombstones. Jack realized what this meant, as there was only one thing he could use that card on. Since the card allowed the wielder to bring back a monster from their graveyard, there was only one option for him. That's not good. He's going to Synchro Summon!

"Come back to me, Flamvell Guard!" The Mystery Duelist said, as his fiery dragon appeared, now in ATK mode, with 100 ATK points displayed next to it.

"If you thought you were the only one that can Synchro Summon, you were wrong. Because now I am going to tune my Flamvell Guard with my Darkflare Dragon!"

As he commanded that, his monsters went through the same process as Jacks did to summon his Red Dragon Archfiend, but with some slight differences. Flamvell Guard transformed into a single green ring, as the Darkflare Dragon disappeared into 5 stars. It was engulfed in another light pillar, as The Mystery Duelist raised his hand towards it.

"I Synchro Summon Brionac, Dragon of the Ice Barrier!"

The pillar of light subsided, as a long, serpent like dragon appeared in its place. Its body was blue and white, and shined brilliantly like ice against the sunlight. Its snowflake shaped face roared, as 2300 ATK was displayed next to it.

Wait…2300? Why summon a monster that's weaker than my Red Dragon Archfiend? Jack thought, baffled by The Mystery Duelists choice of Synchro Monster.

"And now, for the fun part." The Mystery Duelist said, snapping his fingers. His Brionac roared at the Red Dragon Archfiend, which suddenly became engulfed in white light.

"Wait, what's happening?!" Jack exclaimed, as his beloved dragon suddenly left the field. "What did you do to my Dragon!?"

"Brionacs signature ability. While it's out on the field, I can send any number of cards from my hand to the field, and return that many cards on the field to the owners' hand or deck." The Mystery Duelist removed one card from his hand, sending it to his graveyard. "Case and point, your Red Dragon Archfiend back to your Synchro Deck."

"WHAT!?" Jack couldn't believe it, his ace monster, gone without ever having been attacked, and now he was wide open for a direct attack!

"You thought you could take me on, right? You should have been prepared for anything. Now, Brionac. Attack."
