Chapter 10
Dark Signs- A Score to Settle- Companion's feelings: Majestic Dragon
Yusei: (Rides through a wasteland of debris, dotted with low buildings.) ("Get ready, Kalin. Because here I come!")
(The next of the four Stars of Destiny appears over the horizon as he races toward it.)
(Crow rides alongside Seria and the kids in their car on his runner, somewhere back along the road.)
Crow: ("Yusei's sure got his work cut out for 'im. I hope he brought his A-game.")
Aura: You guys think that Yusei's scared?
Sect: Of course, Yusei's not scared of nothing! He's the best there is!
Lyra: (Nods nervously and looks at her right arm.)
(Yusei resolutely approaches the tower, and sees Kalin waiting at the base of it, on his runner.)
Kalin: Good to see you, old friend. (He twists the right-hand accelerator and rides out toward Yusei, arcing around and leaping into the air before bulleting toward him, forcing him into a game of chicken. The two runners are feet away from colliding, and Yusei, with a yell of effort, is the first to turn aside, braking harshly. Kalin does the same, laughing wickedly.) Hahahahahaha! Thanks for stopping by! Hahahahahaha!
Yusei: My pleasure.
Kalin: I see that you got your duel runner up and running again. I was afraid that you weren't gonna give me the opportunity to settle the score— after you sold me out!
Yusei: You've got it all wrong!
Kalin: Do I!
(The sky above them now is just as dark.)
Yusei: I'm no traitor.
Kalin: Hehehehe, well you certainly had me fooled!
Yusei: Argh…
Kalin: Now let's settle this, once and for all!
(With Crow and the others.)
Crow: (Rides ahead of the car now, as the tower and the two runners come into view.) Hey guys, look there! It's Yusei, and Kalin! (He notices a nearby highway running parallel to their road, and calls to the car.) Mmm? Follow me! (He turns left and the jeep follows. He leads them up onto the highway, then pulls over to the side nearest the duel; a safe vantagepoint. Crow gets off his runner and the other three hurry over and crowd around it. A safe vantagepoint for this duel is a distant one; they can't even see Yusei and Kalin from here, but they see the tower.)
Aura: Um, anyone bring binoculars?
(With Kalin and Yusei)
(You're not me)
Kalin: Now let's get things started! (He whips off his cloak and, in the same motion, raises his right arm high. His mark starts to glow a vibrant fuchsia, and is answered with a wave of purple fire appearing out of nowhere, igniting the ground around them and drawing the mark of the Giant in purple fire for their duelling field.)
(With Crow and the others. They watch the Mark of the Giant appear.)
Crow: The shadow-duel's about to start.
(Across the Satellite, Jack brakes, seeing the outline on the clouds. The giant's 'foot' points his direction.)
Jack: Looks like Yusei found Kalin.
(With Yusei and Kalin.)
Kalin: It's time, old friend.
Yusei: Time for what?
Kalin: Hehehehehehe, time for me to send you straight to the netherworld!
Yusei: ("I can't believe the same person who once risked everything to protect me, is now the same person doing everything to try and hurt me! I know the person that wouldn't let me fall still exists- now it's time I get him back!")
(His sign is burning crimson as he twists the gas and gets onto the same line with Kalin; an informal starting-line. The two duelists share one last look; Yusei's steady eyes blaze with purpose.)
(With the Kids, Seria, and Crow, they wait anxiously.)
Crow: I know Kalin was once our friend, but don't let that get in the way of winning this duel.
(With Yusei and Kalin.)
Kalin: Allow me to start things off.
Duel Runners: Duel mode, engaged.
Both: Let's duel!
Kalin: Whadya say we mix things up; first one to the first corner gets to go first.
Yusei: Fine!
Kalin: (Inches ahead, then Yusei does.) ("Looks like someone gave their runner a little tune-up.") Time to see how it handles! Hahahaha! (He swings to the side and slams his runner into the side of Yusei's. Sparks fly and Yusei gets pushed into the wall of flames. Yusei rides onward, fighting the pain, as Kalin laughs maniacally and pulls ahead.)
Yusei: Argh…!
Kalin: Hahahahahaha! Looks like I go first, Yusei! (He zooms around the corner and draws a card, Yusei trailing.) And with my first move, I'm summoning Infernity Necromancer in defense mode!
Yusei: ("That can only mean one thing; he's gonna try and play that 'handless' combo he used in our last duel!")
Kalin: I think I'll end my turn with a face-down! It's time to make your move, Yusei; but rest assured— there's nothing you can play that will save you from my wrath!
Yusei: We'll see about that! (He draws, he drew Limiter Overload.) ("Kalin, I remember when things started to change like it was yesterday. You, me, Crow, Sect, Lyra and Jack… We all had each other's backs, and that's why we were able to make Satellite safer one district at a time. We stuck by each other through thick and thin, and eventually we accomplished what we set out to do. But you wanted more. Our home was a better place because of us, but you weren't satisfied, Kalin. You craved the competition, you needed it, and that's when things got out of control… And no one ever deserves that pain.
Kalin: (Glances back over his shoulder.) Hurry up and make your move, traitor!
Yusei: I'm summoning, Max Warrior! And with the power of my Warrior, your beast's a goner! (Max Warrior goes to attack.) ("I know you think I'm a traitor, Kalin; but I'm gonna risk everything to prove you wrong! I know deep down, the only way to get through to Kalin, is to come at him with everything I've got!") Max Warrior! Attack!
Kalin: Are you sure you wanna do that? Your Warrior's not strong enough to overpower the defense of my Infernity Necromancer!
Yusei: But it will be, once I activate its special ability!
Kalin: Huh?
Yusei: Ya see when this guy attacks, it gains four hundred attack points! Go, Swift Rush! (Max Warrior stabs Necromancer with its long, double-pronged spear, and Kalin feels the hit even though he takes no damage.) And now until my next turn, my Warrior loses half of its original attack and defense points, as well as half its level. You might think that's a lot to sacrifice, Kalin; but that's nothing compared to what I risked when I stayed by your side after everyone else left! ("And I really thought I could. I was naïve and worried about you. I let you down. But I've learned my lesson, and I won't let that happen again. If I could go back and do it all over, I would. Just like you risked everything for me that day… I'm now here to risk everything for you.")
(Crow, Seria, and the kids anxiously watch the screen of Crow's runner.)
Seria: Yusei's got the upper hand.
Crow: ("But for how long?")
(With Yusei and Kalin.)
Yusei: I place three cards facedown and end my turn.
Kalin: Then it's my move! (Draws card.) First I'll lay down a facedown. And then I'll trigger the trap Limit Impulse! Now by sending two cards in my hand to the graveyard (Infernity Archfiend and, by its stats, Infernity Necromancer), I can summon two soul tokens! And then by releasing these two tokens, I can advance-summon Dark Tuner Nightmare Hand!
Yusei: Kalin must be going for his 'handless' combo! And with one card left he's almost got it!
Kalin: Sorry, old friend— but by activating my Dark Tuner's special ability, there is no more almost!
Kalin: I summon Infernity Dwarf in attack mode!
Yusei: ("Oh no, his hand's empty!")
Kalin: Now it's time for my 'handless' combo to take effect! I tune my level-ten Dark Tuner Nightmare Hand with my level-two Infernity Dwarf, in order to dark-synchro-summon, One Hundred Eyes Dragon! When the shadows are devoured by even darker shadows, the curtain pulls back and reveals, a world without light!
Yusei: ("Not that!")
Kalin: Aren't you glad to see him again? I know I am, especially since your Max Warrior's so weak! It looks like I'm going to get my revenge sooner than I anticipated! Go, Infernity Sight Stream!
Yusei: Uggghhh! (The blast destroys Max Warrior and sideswipes Yusei on the right. He swerves but can't dodge completely, and it hurts.)
(With Crow and the others.)
Crow: That attack just put Kalin back in the driver's seat. Yusei better get a plan, and fast!
Sect: You can do it!
(With Yusei and Kalin)
Kalin: Trust me when I say the worst is yet to come.
Yusei: Well then I better act fast. I play the trap Revival Ticket! Now for every monster destroyed in battle, if I destroy one card on my field (a facedown shatters) I can power up my life-points! And then I can bring back all my monsters that were destroyed in battle! So, say hello again to Max Warrior!
Kalin: You can't!
Yusei: But I can, Kalin. And because I destroyed my trap card Limiter Breaker earlier... I'm now gonna use its effect to summon Speed Warrior to my field!
(With Crow and the others.)
Sect: Yusei's the best!
Seria: I hate to admit it, Sect, but you might be right.
(With Yusei and Kalin.)
Kalin: You always were the clever one, weren't you! But how do you plan on overpowering my One Hundred Eyed Dragon!
Yusei: Just... watch. (Draws card.) ("Kalin's right about my two warriors not being strong enough to stand up against his One Hundred Eyed Dragon.") (He looks at his hand; it contains Slip Summon, Synchro Striker Unit, and Burst Synchro Summon) ("But whoever said that they would have to? Not me!") I play the trap, Card of Sacrifice! Now, when the total attack points of the monsters on my field are less than your monster's attack points, I get to draw two cards. Thing is, I can't summon or change the battle mode of any of my monsters then.
Kalin: Hahahahahahaha! Yusei, you've left yourself wide-open! Revenge is mine!
Yusei: Don't be so sure, Kalin! Remember, due to the trap I activated, I now get to draw two new cards from my deck since my warriors aren't as strong as your dragon!
Kalin: It's my move, then! (Draw. He drew a trap.)
Kalin: And I think I'll play a facedown! Next, I'll activate One Hundred Eye Dragon's special ability, which enables it to absorb the powers of a dark-attribute monster in my graveyard. And the monster I'm choosing, is Infernity Necromancer! Now that I have no more cards in my hand, can summon out Infernity Archfiend!
Yusei: That's exactly the move I was hoping you would make! Since you summoned a monster, the effect of Slip Summon activates! and that means that I can summon one level-four-or-below monster from my hand in defense mode! So, I'm calling on, Ghost Gardna!
Kalin: Heh! It makes no difference who you call on, because there's nothing you can do to escape the power of my One Hundred Eyed Dragon! Now— say goodbye to your Speed Warrior! (The dragon attacks.)
Yusei: My Warrior's not going anywhere! See, by activating Gardna's special ability, I can make it the target of your attack!
Kalin: Quite the nifty manoeuvre! But let's see how it matches up against this one! I activate One Hundred Eye Dragon's special ability, which enables me to channel my Infernity Dwarf's special ability! And since I have no cards in my hand, when my monster attacks a monster in defense mode, your life-points take a direct hit!
Yusei: Aa-aa-aa-argh! (He goes spinning backward in near-horizontal donuts.)
Kalin: Hahahahahahaha! Yusei, it looks like your game is spinning out of control!
Yusei: (Spins back into the fiery wall; the friction slows him down enough that he can stop spinning, regain his direction, and come right back, racing after Kalin.)
Kalin: ...But now that you're back on track, I think it's time for me to get serious and settle this once and for all!
(Yusei keeps riding, determined.)
Kalin: Come on, Yusei, we're just getting started! If you thought my last attack was something, wait until you feel what's coming next! Archfiend's gonna finish Max Warrior with a— (Suddenly Infernity Archfiend's attack points drop to 800.) Hey, what's happened to my monster's attack points, where'd they go!
Yusei: They disappeared along with my Ghost Gardna. See, once it was destroyed, your monster loses a thousand attack points, but hey— don't let that stop you from attacking!
Kalin: I end my turn!
Yusei: It's my move, then! I summon Junk Synchron to the field in attack mode! And now I'm gonna tune it and my Speed Warrior in order to synchro-summon— Junk Warrior! Let's rev it up! Next I reveal my trap card, Synchro Striker Unit! And with it in play, I can now increase Max Warrior's attack points by a thousand! Time to fight! Max Warrior, take out Infernity Archfiend!
Kalin: What's going on?! Is it gaining more power?!
Yusei: It sure is! When Max Warrior goes in for an attack, he gains four hundred attack points! Go, Swift Rush!
Kalin: You've underestimated me, Yusei! I reveal my trap card! Infernity Force! Now if you attack an Infernity monster when I have no cards in my hand, Infernity Force deflects the attack, and obliterates your monster!
Yusei: Huh!
Kalin: And not only that, but I can now harness the power of this trap and summon a weaker Infernity monster from my graveyard! I summon— Infernity Necromancer!
Kalin: Hahahahahahahahaha!
Yusei: Not bad, Kalin. But let's see you stop Junk Warrior from attacking your Dragon! (Junk Warrior attacks, and Hundred Eyes Dragon takes the hit right in the huge eye on its chest. Kalin ducks, and flies out of the cloud of smoke and debris.)
(With Crow and the others.)
Sect: Woohoo! All right!
Aura: Yeah!
Seria: At it boy! Now it's time to set your sights on some life-points!
Crow: Hey— why is Kalin laughing...?
(With Kalin and Yusei.)
Kalin: Hehehehehehehe. When One Hundred Eye Dragon is destroyed, I can select any card I want from my deck and add it to my hand. You might remember this monster...
Yusei: ("I knew it. One Hundred Eye Dragon was just a setup!")
Kalin: (Looks over his shoulder at Yusei, snickering; both of them know what that card is.)
Yusei: ("I better build a defense, and fast!") I place two cards facedown and end my turn! And since it's my end phase, Junk Warrior now loses its power boost, since the effect of my Synchro Striker Unit wears off.") (Junk Warrior's attack is back to 2300)
Kalin: (Cackles and flips the card in his hand- of course it's Earthbound Immortal Ccapac Apu!)
Yusei: If that's what I think it is, I'm in big trouble!
(With Crow and the others.)
Crow: ("Come on, Yusei. Don't lose sight a' what you came here to do! I know Kalin's an old friend. I know we've all got history, but... you're here to defeat him, not to save him. You've already tried doin' that before, way back then... We ran as fast as we could. We could've gotten away. But Kalin couldn't leave well enough alone. And that's when things finally came to a head.")
(With Yusei and Kalin.)
Yusei: Things were getting out of hand. The riots and the fighting had to stop; you had to stop! But I was trying to help you, Kalin! I was trying to save you!
Kalin: You think I believe you?! You sold me out, man!
(With Crow and the others. Up on the highway, Crow has somehow opened up a link between Kalin's runner console and his.)
Crow: Not true! Yusei was trying to surrender to Sector Security in your place!
Kalin (via screen): Nobody should've surrendered, we should've stood up to them together! You backed down when things got tough!
(With Kalin and Yusei.)
Kalin: You let Sector Security take over Satellite! So as far as I'm concerned you DID betray me!
Yusei: I wanted to help you!
Kalin: Well, with help like yours who needs help! Besides, if you cared so much about me, why didn't you come an' visit me in the Facility?! Huh, Yusei?!
(With Crow and the others.)
Crow: He tried to visit you, plenty of times. But every time we came by, they turned us away! (He looks away from the screen, pained) Man, I can't imagine what they did to you in there!
(With Kalin and Yusei.)
Kalin: (Hides his eyes behind his helmet visor, his face unreadable.) Of course, you can't, old friend! I could have handled the insults and the solitude, but they... (He looks up, his blackened eyes enraged.) They took my deck from me! I gave myself to the shadows so that I could have this one moment! This moment, where I make you feel the terror and the pain that you made me feel when you turned your back on me! It's my move! And I now release Infernity Archfiend, and Infernity Necromancer! I summon to the field, Earthbound Immortal Ccapac Apu!
(The ground rumbles, and the Giant appears, roaring its supremacy. The Immortal can easily be seen from the highway; Luna cries out and hugs Leo, while Leo tries not to do the same. Even the spectators look afraid.)
Seria: Oh, man! That thing is huge!
Crow: Gee, ya think?
(With Yusei and Kalin.)
Yusei: With that guy, out...
Kalin: It's the end of the line! Man, I've been waiting a long time to say— Ccapac Apu, send Yusei to the Netherworld! (The Giant leans over and reaches for Yusei and his runner; the ground erupts beneath the Giant's arm, blown apart by the sheer energy.)
Yusei: The last time we duelled and he summoned this Earthbound Immortal, my duel runner's wheel broke before it could attack, ending the duel early. ("But that's not gonna happen this time. This time I'm bringing that Earthbound Immortal down to earth! I hope this plan works! Here goes everything!") I reveal my trap card— Baton of the Hero! And with it in play, I'm now allowed to choose the target of your monster's attack!
Kalin: So, that means—
Yusei: That your Immortal's attacking Junk Warrior! (Junk Warrior flies up into the Giant's hand, and explodes, showering Yusei with dust.)
Kalin: Way to throw your monster out as a shield, Yusei! But this attack isn't over! Not yet! Because when your monster gets destroyed, you take damage equal to your monster's attack points!
(With Crow and the others.)
Crow: This isn't good. With Yusei's Junk Warrior packing so much power, if he doesn't do something, he's done for!
Lyra: Come on, Yusei!
(With Yusei and Kalin.)
Yusei: I activate this, Kalin— the trap Burst Synchro Summon! Now my life-points are safe from taking any damage! (As the blast hits, a translucent shield like a contact lens appears over Yusei's head.) And then, due to the power of my trap, I can bring out a monster whose attack points are the same as the amount of damage I would've taken!
(With Crow and the others.)
Aura: Does Yusei even have something that powerful?
Sect and Lyra: Only Stardust Dragon!
Crow: That's what I'm talkin' about!
(With Kalin and Yusei.)
Yusei: Stardust Dragon, let's rev it up!
Kalin: Well you finally managed to summon your favourite monster! Do you actually think it's gonna make a difference?! (Kalin places a facedown.)
Yusei: Time to find out! (Draws card.)
Kalin: Not so fast! I reveal the trap card, Brilliant Shrine Art! Now when you attack your monster has to face my Earthbound Immortal!
Yusei: ...But my Stardust Dragon doesn't stand a chance against that thing. I'm gonna need some backup, so I activate Angel Baton! Now I can draw two cards and send one from my hand to my graveyard! And the card I sent to the graveyard was Stardust Xiaolong! But with Stardust Dragon already summoned, Xiaolong instantly resurrects to the field in attack mode! Next I play a facedown and end my turn!
Kalin: This is getting good, Yusei!
Yusei: You got that right, and after I play my trap Superior Protector, it's only gonna get better! See, with this card's power, I can only take battle damage if Stardust Dragon battles.
Kalin: All you've done is made your Dragon a target! Now all I need to do is crush it, so that I can crush you! (Ccapac Apu looks ready to grab the soaring Stardust right out of the sky... Earthbound Immortal Ccapac Apu towers over the field, reaching one black hand for Stardust Dragon as though to grab it right out of the air.) Looks like you and your Stardust Dragon are about to get sent to the Netherworld!
Yusei: Not if I send Superior Protector to the graveyard to protect us!
Kalin: Nice move, but you're still taking battle damage! Huh! And thanks to my little Wicked Trample trap card, when you take battle damage from something other than a direct attack, that damage is doubled!
Yusei: What?!
Kalin: Hahahahahahahaha! Earthbound Immortal! End this now!
Yusei: (Buckles down and endures the blast; he drops a speed counter, leaving him with 4, and his life-points are down to 1400. The ground around the Giant's feet begins to cave and erode; the road cracks, and Kalin is forced down into the side of the road that is sinking and smashing itself to pieces, forced to the edge of the purple fire. He cries out in fear. Yusei, on the edge of the fracturing sinkhole, veers down onto the broken track, closer to Kalin.) Kalin! What's going on?!
Kalin: Don't know!
Yusei: Take my hand!
Kalin: (Looks up; Yusei is actually offering him his hand, as though they were still friends. Kalin looks up at him, surprised and startled.) Yusei...!
Yusei: I made the wrong call, Kalin! I thought I could help you, I thought, 'maybe if I take the heat Kalin'll turn himself around!' But I get it now! You and I are friends! I should've found a way for us to fix things Kalin! I should've stood by you!
(With Crow and the others.)
Crow: Come on, buddy!
Lyra: Oh, Yusei... Huh! (Her sign has suddenly lit up!)
(With Jack. His sign lights up, he looks at it, then off into the distance, probably toward the duel.)
(With Akiza and Mina. Akiza's sign has also lit up. Mina is momentarily distracted from driving as Akiza looks at it, then off into the distance toward the duel.)
Akiza: I can feel us all drawing together...!
(With Yusei and Kalin.)
Yusei: (His mark is shining like a beacon, and shines even brighter as he reaches it toward Kalin.) Jack and Crow feel the same way, Kalin! And right now, like back then, we're fighting alongside our friends for something we believe in! But I'm not fighting to defeat you! You have to believe me! I'm trying to save you! I'm trying to save my friend from the Dark Signers!
Kalin: (He's is sincerely stunned that Yusei still calls him his friend.) Your friend? (Then he starts resisting, convinced it isn't possible.) You can't! It's too late! (He slides down further, toward the fire.) Ah! Aaaagh!
Yusei: Kalin! No! (His mark burns even brighter...)
(With Akiza and Mina. Akiza gasps as the glowing mark suddenly vanishes from her arm.)
Akiza: Ahh!
(With Jack. His mark also disappears.)
Jack: What in the-?!
(With Crow and the others. Lyra's mark disappears.)
Lyra: That's weird...
(The Sign of the Crimson Dragon appears glowing red through the back of Yusei's jacket.)
(With Crow and the others.)
Crow: What's going on?!
Lyra: Our marks have all joined up on Yusei!
(With Yusei and the others.)
Yusei: We're all in this together, right now we're all as one! (The top card of his deck starts glowing bright golden.) Huh? Something's calling to me... (He goes to draw it, hesitates, then defiantly does.) Time to find out what! (He draws. He looks at the card, still shining gold.) Of course, that's what I've gotta do! Just like the others and I had to become a team to fight the Dark Signers, my monsters have to unite to win this duel! And to make sure that happens, I summon Majestic Dragon to the field in attack mode! Next, I tune Majestic Dragon with my Stardust Dragon and Stardust Xiaolong! And now it's time I synchro-summon- Majestic Star Dragon! (His new dragon's design is futuristic, with spoked wings like Majestic Dragon's, built perhaps for space but not for flying through the sky. Its very presence causes the air to shimmer with iridescent light, and it's absolutely beautiful.) Kalin, your Earthbound Immortal's special abilities are powerless against my mighty dragon! In fact, my dragon can absorb them all and use them against you!
(The air around the Giant begins to sparkle with little blue lights. The monster reels, as if confused or weakened. Majestic Star Dragon absorbs the lights, looking right at the huge Immortal as though staring into its heart.)
Yusei: And now, Majestic Star Dragon— end this duel! (Majestic Star, now shining with blue light, folds back its wings and bullets toward Ccapac Apu, and indeed appears to be a shooting star.)
Yusei: Attack! (Majestic Star blasts right through the Immortal's chest and flies out the other side, not even scratched, soaring away into the sky as the Immortal collapses behind it, bleeding electric blue sparks. A huge wave of darkness explodes from its back, threatening to engulf the Dragon, but Majestic Star easily outruns it. Yusei and his runner are still sitting in a prismatic cloud of light from Majestic Star Dragon; Yusei gasps as the darkness from the Giant's fall enshrouds Kalin and the he groans and shields himself, trying to fight it.)
Yusei: Hang on, pal! (Majestic Star Dragon swoops down into the flames and back up into the sky, shedding the purple fire in another beautiful light show. Bathed in iridescent, shimmery light, Yusei's runner is stopped; Kalin is lying across his lap, his head rested on the right-side arm bar, and he's in bad shape.)
Yusei: Come on, stay with me! I'm not giving up this time; this time, I'm gonna save you.
Kalin: (Opens his eyes and looks up at Yusei; his eyes have turned their normal colour again. He speaks hoarsely, weakly.) Yusei... I spent years hating you and planning my revenge. I let my anger devour me and I willingly gave myself to the darkness...! But in beating me, Yusei... you've found your friend, and although the shadows await... (Yusei gasps) ... I need you to promise me something, Yusei. Stop beating yourself up over what happened. I'm the one who really messed things up. But now, finally, here at the very end, you did what you set out to do; you saved me!
Yusei: Huh! (He realizes that Kalin's right; but still Kalin's about to go) Kalin... (Majestic Star Dragon soars high above a landscape painted with the mark of the Giant; the mark fades, and the sky turns grey again. Majestic Star remains, cruising high above.)
Kalin: You're not going to go and do something stupid like... lose to the Dark Signers... are you?
Yusei: (Shakes his head no. Kalin is smiling, peaceful and benign.)
Kalin: Don't back down, Yusei. No matter what happens... push the shadows back where they belong...! Argh! (With a small gasp of pain, Kalin turns to black dust, evaporating in Yusei's arms. Yusei stares at them; even knowing this would happen couldn't soften the pain.)
Yusei: Kalin...!
(With Crow and the others. They watch Majestic Star sail serenely through the sky.)
Seria: Yusei did it.
(With Yusei. His runner parked some distance away, Yusei stands alone, staring out at the desolate Satellite landscape, his shoulders shaking; we can't see his face.)
Yusei: They came to you when you were afraid and hurt. They took advantage of your pain. They twisted you so that they could use you as their pawn! They won't get away with it! I won't let these Dark Signers win! (He clenches his fist, and a single tear falls and breaks on it. Several more fly from his cheeks as he raises his head and shouts to the sky.) They're gonna pay for this! (Full of resolve, Yusei stands strong, watching Majestic Star Dragon glide away into the distance, trailing brilliant blue and white sparkles in its wake, and disappear into the clouds.)
(Act 10- End)
