"Yusei, you're thinking of him aren't you?" Jack asked. "We both know it's possible but if he were here now you know exactly what he would say."

"Yeah, but the problem is I doubt I can beat him." Yusei said. "Especially if he has one of those Earthbound Immortal cards."

"That's not like you, things are a lot different from back then." Jack said. "If you're so nervous you won't be able to beat him, then let's duel right now."

"Yeah, you're right Jack." Yusei said. "Maybe I just need to get my mind off it for a while, of course I plan on winning."

"We'll see Yusei." Jack said while the two of them got on their duel runners.

"Let's duel." Yusei and Jack said simultaneously.

"Jack, I wonder what you're doing right now." said a girl with glasses and a camera. (1)

"Carly, stop daydreaming and get the story." yelled a man on her phone. "The Fortune Cup was cut drastically short and you're going to find out why."

"I know boss, I'm almost there." Carly said. "I'll make sure to get the story."

"You'd better, otherwise you're fired understand." the man yelled again.

"Yes sir, I understand." Carly said before the man hung up on her. "Great, how am I supposed to find out what happened?"

"Perhaps I can be of some assistance." said a voice from behind Carly.

"Huh, you know what happened at the Fortune Cup?" Carly asked. "Would you mind giving me an interview?"

"I'd be delighted, however before that would you indulge me in a duel?" asked a woman in a dark hood.

"A duel, but I don't really have any cards I could use." Carly said. "I mean my deck is really only for telling my fortune."

"That's fine, I have a spare deck with me." the woman said before pulling out a deck of cards.

"Really, alright I accept your challenge." Carly said.

"Let's duel." said the woman and Carly simultaneously.

Carly 4000 ? 4000: "I'll let you have the first turn." the woman said calmly.

"Oh, well thanks." Carly said. "Ok I start by summoning Fortune Lady Wind in attack mode, and next I'll set three cards facedown. That ends my move."

"Alright, well in that case I'll start things by Reptilianne Gorgon in attack mode." the woman said. "Now I attack your Fortune Lady Wind."

"I play my facedown card, Time Passage." Carly said. "This increases Fortune Lady Wind to level six, and thanks to her effect it boosts her attack points to 1800."

"Not bad, you're a good duelist." the woman said. "I end my move with two facedown cards."

Carly 4000 ? 3600: "Alright, it's my move again, so I'll start by using the effect of Fortune Lady Wind, so now her level increases by one." Carly said. "Next I summon Fortune Lady Water."

"I play the trap card, Declaration of the Earthbound." the woman said. "This card let's me summon as many monsters as you have, and for each monster summoned neither of us can attack for that many turns."

"Wait, that card is really powerful." Carly said nervously.

"I summon a second Gorgon, and my Reptilianne Medusa." the woman said calmly.

"Those things are too strong." Carly said. "I end my turn."

"You're a skilled duelist Carly, of course there's another reason I challenged you." the woman said. "I activate the Savage Coliseum field spell and next I'll sacrifice both of my monsters in order to summon this, Earthbound Immortal Ccarayhua."

As she said that, a giant lizard appeared behind her.

"What the, what kind of card is that?" Carly asked nervously.

"It's one of several incredibly powerful monsters." the woman said as a purple lizard began to glow on her arm. "I set one card and end my move."

"This is bad, your trap wears off this turn and I don't have anything that can match that lizard." Carly said nervously.

"Don't doubt yourself Carly, I'm you'll figure something out." the woman said with a smile.

"Thanks, I'll try my best." Carly said before drawing her card. "Wait, this is…"

"Go ahead, play it and then you'll understand everything." the woman said calmly.

"Alright, I sacrifice Fortune Lady Wind and Fortune Lady Water, in order to summon Earthbound Immortal Aslla Piscu." Carly said as a purple hummingbird appeared on her arm.

"That's enough, our duel is over Carly." the woman said. "Are you alright?"

"I'm fine, but what's this mark?" Carly asked.

"Just trust me, it's a sign that you're destined for great things." the woman said pulling down her hood.

"Wait, Misty Tredwell?" Carly asked.

"We have a lot to talk about, your new destiny awaits Carly." Misty said with a smile before an orange glow enveloped the two of them and when it vanished they were gone.

"This is it jack, I play the speed spell Final Attack." Yusei said. "This card doubles Stardust Dragon's attack points."

"Wait, but that means he has 5000 points." Jack said nervously.

"This duel is over Jack, Stardust Dragon attack Red Dragon Archfiend and end this duel." Yusei said as he won. (2)

"Not bad Yusei, well did that clear your head?" Jack asked.

"Yeah, I needed that." Yusei said just as a sector security car pulled up.

"Jack Atlas and Yusei Fudo?" asked an officer.

"Yeah, is Goodwin summoning us?" Jack asked.

"Yes, the others are waiting for you." the officer said. "He also wanted me to tell you he found out the identity of the fifth dragon, but that something strange occurred."

"Strange, that sounds typical for Goodwin." Jack said. "Let's go."

"Right, maybe the dragon's identity will help us find the fifth signer." Yusei said before the two of them got on their duel runners and started heading back to Goodwin's mansion.

"Welcome Carly Carmine, I'm glad you decided to join us." Roman said calmly.

"What's going on, what's this mark?" Carly asked nervously.

"It's a sign that your destiny is more significant than you could have ever known." Roman said. "The four of us will help you understand everything."

"Alright, thanks." Carly said with a smile.

(Carly Carmine has joined the dark signers, but Goodwin is preparing to reveal the fifth dragon to the signers. Next chapter Yusei and Jack will realize something important. As always any reviews or critique is appreciated.)

(1) (Carly met Jack during one of his duels, and they got to know each other. That's why she was thinking about him.)

(2) (The duel was identical to canon.)
