"I'm fine. But it's not over." Up where Goodwin, Lazar, Iris, and Jack were. Lazar asks what is going on since they speaker on Grieger was suppose to be turned off. Then Grieger continues to speak to the crowd to everyone present.
"I was hoping to do this differently. But if it needs to be like this, so be it." Dragen wonder what is he talking about. Grieger continued on.

The Supreme Dragon King who was listening in brush his vengeance is only going to bring more pain on you Dragen was trying to get across. Then Dragen said he and Yusei will figure it out. Grieger rage came to a boil and he shouted Goodwin name at the top of his lounges.
