Disclaimer: We don't own Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's but we own the OCs!
"Ladies and gentleman this is the moment you've all been waiting for!" the MC announced. "After an intense fight to the top spot Yusei Fudo has emerged victorious in the Fortune Cup, but he's going to need all the skills he's displayed so far and more if he wants to win this one final duel!"
Kairi told Yusei, "Be careful Yusei... Jack have gotten stronger, and there's always Red Dragon Archfiend."
"I remember." Yusei nodded. "Jack's a great duelist and he's the only one who's beaten me in a duel. Beating him won't be easy."
Kairi patted his back as she smiled, "Like with Akiza 'You never know unless you try'. It was my motivation that kept me going this far."
Yusei nodded calmly as he put on his helmet and got on his Duel Runner. That was before Jack sped beside him.
"It's been a while Jack." Yusei noted calmly.
"Indeed it has. You were soft as always. You sacrificed your chance to allow Kairi to get here." Jack replied.
"She's our friend Jack, she deserved to learn what happened to him and we both know I'd have built another Runner given enough time." Yusei replied.
"Oh I know that. It's just a shame he died on us." Jack told him.
Yusei frowned hearing that. "He was one of our closest friends Jack, doesn't that mean anything to you?"
"I gotten over it now, it's in the past. That aside it's time to kick things to overdrive." Jack told him getting his Duel Runner ready.
"Duel Mode Engage. Auto Pilot standing by." The Duel Runner announced.
Speed World

If a player activates a non-"Speed Spell" Spell Card, they take 2000 damage. Except during the first turn of the Duel, during each player's Standby Phase, each player places 1 Speed Counter of their own on this card (max. 12 each). When a player takes damage, remove 1 of their Speed Counters from this card for each multiple of 1000 damage that player took.
Yusei closed his eyes before nodding. Kairi looked on with worried eyes, "Jack isn't bothered?"
"Maybe he really is a bad person." Leo admitted sadly.
Kairi however shook her head, "No I know he still cares... He's hiding it. I haven't given up on him yet, I know he's still the same in the past!"
Leo looked up at her before smiling. "Yeah, you're right big sis."
They turned back to where their at the starting line.
"3... 2... 1... Duel!" the Duel Runners declared as they raced off.
"LET'S RIDE!" The two declared as they raced off.

The two of them raced off with Jack taking the corner first and securing the first turn.

Jack laughed, "Glad to see you didn't forget. I end with 2 cards down."
Yusei 1st Turn:
(Yusei's Speed Counters: 1)
(Jack's Speed Counters: 1)

During damage calculation, in either player's turn: You can banish this card from your Graveyard; monsters you control cannot be destroyed by this battle.
"And playing two of my own cards facedown. Now Shield Warrior attacks Mad Archfiend." Yusei declared.
The warrior charged.
"Hey Shield Warrior is weaker!" Leo cried seeing this.
Kairi said, "He's doing it because of Mad Archfiend's ability."
"Whenever Mad Archfiend is attacked it switches into defense mode and with zero defense points Shield Warrior is more than capable of taking it down." Yusei stated as Jack's monster switched modes only to shatter. "That ends my turn Jack."
Yusei: 4000
Speed Counters: 1
Jack: 4000
Speed Counters: 1
Jack 2nd Turn:
(Yusei's Speed Counters: 2)
(Jack's Speed Counters: 2)
Jack smirked, and as of not being fazed called "It's my turn now!"
He drew before calling, "And I'll start off by sending the level 2 Dread Dragon from my hand to the graveyard! That allows me to summon my Power Giant!"
A rock giant appeared with 2200 attack points.

Power Giant: (LV: 6 - 2 = 4)
Yusei frowned seeing that.
"And now Power Giant attack his Shield Warrior!" Jack called as Power Giant made the assault.
"I play the Defense Draw trap card." Yusei stated as his warrior shattered.
Defense Draw
Normal Trap Card
During your opponent's turn, at damage calculation: Make the battle damage you take from this battle 0, and if you do, draw 1 card.
"As expected Yusei you didn't let my monster overwhelm you." Jack grinned. "I end my turn."

(Yusei's Speed Counters: 3)
(Jack's Speed Counters: 3)

"You remember what Turret Warrior does Jack, so I'll have him attack Power Giant!" Yusei declared.
Turret Warrior: (ATK: 1200 + 1200 = 2400)
The warrior overwhelmed Power Giant destroying him. (Jack: 3800)
"Not bad Yusei." Jack grinned. "I activate my trap card, Spacegate!"
Spacegate

During your Main Phase, you can send this card to the Graveyard to Special Summon 1 monster from your hand whose Level is equal to or lower than the number of Gate Counters on this card.
Yusei flinched seeing the trap.
"For each monster of your's that attacked this turn this card gains a Gate Counter." Jack grinned as a light orb spiraled around him. (Gate Counter: 1)
Kairi explained to the twins, "That way he can send it to the graveyard during his main phase to summon a new monster who's level is equal to the amount of Gate Counters on it."
"That's really useful." Leo admitted.
"I'll end my turn Jack." Yusei finished.
Yusei: 4000
Speed Counters: 3
Jack: 3800
Speed Counters: 3

"That can only mean one thing." Yusei frowned.
"And since I summoned him like this his attack, and defense points are cut in half." Jack continued.
Vice Dragon: (ATK: 2000 / 2 = 1000/DEF: 2400 / 2 = 1200)
"But that won't matter as I summon the Tuner Monster, Dark Resonator!" Jack called as a small fiend holding a tuning fork appeared.
Dark Resonator
Dark Type

Fiend/Tuner
ATK: 1300
DEF: 300
The first time this card would be destroyed by battle each turn, it is not destroyed.
The computer explained, "Once every turn when Dark Resonator battles a monster that has higher attack points it can't be destroyed in battle."
"This is bad." Luna mentioned nervously.
"And now Level 3 Dark Resonator tune now with level 5 Vice Dragon!" Jack called as Dark Resonator lifted his fork as it turned to 3 rings passing through Vice Dragon who turned to 5 stars.
(LV: 3 + 5 = 8)
"The ruler's heartbeats will now file through here! Take witness to its creation-shaking power! Synchro Summon! My very soul, Red Dragon Archfiend!" Jack chanted as his dragon appeared above his roaring.

"There it is, Jack Atlas' ace monster. The all powerful Red Dragon Archfiend!" the MC announced.
Kairi stared at it as she thought, 'Looking as tough as usual.'
Jack called, "Now I play the trap card, Assault Spirits!"
Assault Spirits
Continuous Trap Card
After activation, this card becomes an Equip Card and is equipped to 1 monster you control. Once per turn, if the equipped monster attacks, during the Damage Step you can send 1 monster with 1000 or less ATK from your hand to the Graveyard to increase the equipped monster's ATK by the sent monster's ATK until the End Phase.
Yusei's eyes widened in shock.
"And now Red Dragon Archfiend attack Turret Warrior with Absolute Power Force!"
At that his dragon roared firing at Yusei's warrior.
Yusei's monster shattered from the attack.
(Yusei: 3400)
"I set one card, and that's it Yusei." Jack grinned placing a card down.
Yusei 3rd Turn:
(Yusei's Speed Counters: 5)
(Jack's Speed Counters: 5)
"It's my move Jack so first I'll summon Hyper Synchron in attack mode, and I'll bring out Turbo Booster to join him." Yusei started.
The two monsters appeared.

"Hyper Synchron is a risky Tuner Monster." Kairi told the twins.
"Risky?" Luna asked.
"When used to Synchro Summon a Dragon that dragon can't be destroyed by battle, and gains 800 more attack points." Kairi explained. "But during Yusei's Second Stand-By Phase he must remove the monster Hyper Synchron was for from play."
"Now I'll use the Give and Take trap card." Yusei revealed. "So in exchange for giving you Shield Warrior Turbo Booster gets a little boost."
Give and Take
Normal Trap Card
Special Summon 1 monster from your Graveyard to your opponent's side of the field in Defense Position, and increase the Level of 1 monster you control by the Level of the Special Summoned monster, until the End Phase.
Shield Warrior appeared on Jack's field as he gave a confused grunt.
Turbo Booster: (LV: 1 + 3 = 4)
"Now level four Hyper Synchron tunes with level four Turbo Booster." Yusei declared.
The two flew up as they passed by some rings.
(LV: 4 + 4 = 8)

During the End Phase, if this effect was activated this turn (and was not negated): You can Special Summon this card from your Graveyard.
"That's Yusei's ace! It's still as pretty as I remembered it!" Kairi cheered seeing it.
Stardust Dragon: (ATK: 2500 + 800 = 3300)
"Now I'll attack Red Dragon Archfiend!" Yusei declared.
Stardust Dragon roared firing a blast.
"I play my face-down card! Changing Destiny!" Jack called as two doors appeared.

● Gain Life Points equal to half the ATK of the monster whose attack was negated.
● Your opponent takes damage equal to half the ATK of the monster whose attack was negated.
"What the?" Yusei questioned.
"This puts a stop to your attack, and you can make two choices." Jack explained as he turned to his Duel Runner around to see Yusei in front of him. "It either allows you to gain half the attack points of Stardust Dragon, or I take half of Stardust Dragon's attack points as damage. The points of that are 1650. What's your choice?"
"I'll deal the damage." Yusei answered.
At response Jack smirked as he took damage. (Jack: 2150) (Speed Counters: 5 - 1 = 4)
"I end my turn." Yusei stated.
Yusei: 3800
Speed Counters: 5
Jack: 2150
Speed Counters: 4
Jack 4th Turn:
(Yusei's Speed Counters: 6)
(Jack's Speed Counters: 5)
Jack drew as he looked, and smirked.
"I activate a Speed Spell! Pot of Greed! When I have 2 or more Speed Counters I can draw 2 cards!" Jack called drawing twice.

Activate only while you have 2 or more Speed Counters. Draw 2 Cards.
"And another Speed Spell is what I drew! Half Seize!" Jack continued.
Speed Spell - Half Seize
Speed Spell Card
Activate only while you have 3 or more Speed Counters. Select 1 face-up monster on the field. Halve that monster's ATK, and gain an equal amount of Life Points.
"Not good." Yusei frowned.
"While Jack has 3 or more Speed Counters, Half Seize halves the attack points of a monster, and Jack regains Life Points equal to it." Kairi explained worried.
"Wait but that means he can recover from Yusei's attack." Leo realized.
(Jack: 3800)
Stardust Dragon: (ATK: 3300 / 2 = 1650)
"And even though Hyper Synchron protects Stardust Dragon from battle the damage still goes through." Kairi added.
"Yusei." Luna said fearfully.
"Now Red-Dragon Archfiend attack Stardust Dragon with Absolute Power Force!" Jack called as his dragon charged, "And Assault Spirits lets me to send Dark Tinker from my hand to the graveyard to increase it's attack points by Dark Tinker's!"
Red Dragon Archfiend: (ATK: 3000 + 1000 = 4000)
The attack struck as Stardust Dragon roared in pain. Yusei grunted. (Yusei: 1050) (Speed Counters: 6 - 2 = 4)
That was before a deafening roar was sounded.
"What was that?" Leo asked nervously.
They looked around before Kairi, and Luna's marks started to glow. Luna looked at the mark nervously. Then Jack, and Yusei's marks started glowing as the former asked, "What in the world?"
At that moment a deafening roar echoed. Then something crimson took over the field before what appeared from the sky was a huge serpent like energy dragon with yellow glowing eyes roaring.
"Is that what I think it is?" Leo asked in shock.
"I think it is." Kairi answered shocked herself. "The Crimson Dragon."
"The Crimson Dragon!" Yusei cried in awe.
The Crimson Dragon roared before it started to glow before a bright light occurred. When they opened their eyes the Signers see Jack, and Yusei are riding on a stream of light looking over something like it's a vision.
"What's going on big sis?" Luna asked fearfully.
"I don't know... Hey where's everyone else?" Kairi asked seeing she, and Luna floating with orbs along with Akiza who looked surprised while Jack, and Yusei continued riding on the light stream.
"Where are we?" Yusei questioned.
They soon floated above a temple where they seen priests bowing before six people who has the same marks that the Signers have on their arms.
"Wait, those marks." Kairi said in shock.
"Those people are Signers?" Luna asked surprised.
That was before they see what looks like New Domino, and the Sattilite before a huge purple Spider Symbol appeared out of nowhere causing huge destruction.
"No!" Kairi cried in horror.
"Kairi... This might be a glimpse of the future." Jack guessed.
"We can't let that happen." Yusei told him.
"Well I don't know about you but I say we continue on! This duel is what brought us here, and if it's over it would bring us back." Jack told him.
Yusei frowned. "Fine Jack."
"Your move Yusei!" Jack cried. "During this end phase as Shield Warrior didn't attack it's destroyed."
"Not quite Jack, I play Stardust Dragon's special ability!" Yusei countered.
The dragon roared as it gathered energy. Recognizing this Kairi told Luna, and Akiza "See whenever a card effect that destroys a card is played Yusei can use Stardust Dragon's ability. The ability known as Victim Sanctuary. It negates the effect that destroys a card, and destroys it altogether."
"Wait Akiza?" Luna asked in shock.
"What kind of trick is Goodwin pulling?" Akiza asked coldly.
"Akiza let me tell you this isn't Mr. Goodwin's doing." Kairi told her. "The Crimson Dragon is doing this like it's showing us a vision."
"I know that, Goodwin is behind it. He knows everything about these wretched marks." Akiza revealed.
"Wretched? Akiza he said that these marks means we're destined for great things." Kairi told her.
"Is that the lie he told you?" Akiza questioned. "Goodwin is trying to take over the world."
"Take over the world? Where did you hear that?" Kairi asked her.
"From Sayer." Akiza answered.
Kairi looked confused before asking, "Akiza if Goodwin was trying to take over then why did he help me? He helped me out when nobody else in New Domino would."
"Because of your mark." Akiza answered.
That made Kairi pause as she looked at her mark as she remembered.
Flashback...
"Lazar please escort Mr. Armstrong out of my office." Goodwin stated before turning to Kairi. "Miss Jones, may I ask you two requests?"
Lazar got the now fired man out as Kairi turned to Goodwin, "Y-Yes?"
"First, may I please see your right arm?" Goodwin requested.
Kairi looked alarmed as she held it close. "I... I can't do that... You'll think I'm a freak..."
"You have my word I won't." Goodwin assured her.
Kairi stood for a few moments before slowly rolling her sleeve showing her mark. Goodwin looked at it for a few seconds before nodding. "Hearing your story I had my suspicions but now I'm certain. That mark means you're destined for great things."
"G-Great things...?" Kairi asked blinking.
"Yes, there's going to be a dueling tournament in the near future and I would like if you could participate." Goodwin told her. "The exact date hasn't been finalized quite yet but I assure you that participating will be quite beneficial for you."
"W-What's it called?" Kairi asked her.
"The Fortune Cup." Goodwin answered calmly.
Flashback End...
'So was he...' Kairi trailed off.
While this was happening Stardust Dragon tackled Red Dragon Archfiend destroying him.
"There's only one person in the city you can trust, Sayer." Akiza told her.
"Now during the end phase Stardust Dragon comes back." Yusei said calmly.
Kairi paused before saying, "Before I can be certain I like to meet him if he has time."
Akiza nodded calmly. Stardust Dragon returned roaring.

(LV: 3 + 4 = 7)
"Dragon blessed by the Judgement of the Gods! Now cross through, and spread your sense of judgement to those who came to your field! Synchro Summon! Level 7, Holy Way Dragon!"

"What the!?" Jack asked shocked seeing Kairi's dragon.
"Kairi?" Luna asked Kairi wanting to know how Yusei got her.
"I gave it to him before the match." Kairi admitted. "I thought it would help."
"Now I'll activate the Speed Spell - Summon Speeder and it lets me summon out my Max Warrior in attack mode." Yusei stated as the warrior appeared.

"Hey how did it gain 400 attack points?" Luna asked.
"Max Warrior's Special Ability allows it to gain 400 attack points when it attacks." Kairi answered Max Warrior destroyed Shield Warrior leaving Jack wide open.
"Now Stardust Dragon attack Jack directly!" Yusei called.
Stardust fired the blast as Jack was hit as they heard he screamed out in pain. (Jack: 1300) (Speed Counters: 6 - 2 = 4)
"Jack!" Yusei called in horror.
Jack shook his head as he said, "That... That felt real!"
Yusei's eyes widened in shock hearing that. "Jack we have to stop this."
"No... A warrior never quits!" Jack yelled.
"Jack you're in pain!" Yusei argued.
"I don't care if my body is broken or beaten down I won't stop!" Jack yelled. "I play the trap card Forever Fight!"

(Jack: 0300)
His dragon appeared roaring again. Yusei closed his eyes seeing that. "I set one card facedown and end my turn."
Yusei: 1050
Speed Counters: 5
Jack: 0300
Speed Counters: 4
Jack 5th Turn:
(Yusei's Speed Counters: 6)
(Jack's Speed Counters: 5)
"This is it... The final turn!" Jack declared drawing.
"Jack..." Yusei whispered.
'Whenever the monster summoned by Forever Fight destroys a monster I can discard a card for it to attack again! Which means this match is mine! I should attack Holy Way first but Stardust is Yusei's ace card so he should have the honor!' Jack thought before declaring, "Red Dragon Archfiend destroy Stardust Dragon with Absolute Power Force!"
Red Dragon Archfiend fired a blast. Yusei just looked down as a trap revealed itself, Synchro Striker Unit.
Synchro Striker Unit

Equip this card as an Equip Card to a face-up Synchro Monster you control. It gains 1000 ATK. During each of your End Phases, it loses 800 ATK.

"Synchro Striker Unit!" Kairi cried recognizing it.
"This gives Stardust Dragon 1000 more attack points." Yusei said quietly.
Stardust Dragon: (ATK: 2500 + 1000 = 3500)
"That means... Yusei wins!" Kairi cried as Stardust Dragon fired a blast at Red Dragon Archfiend destroying him as Jack looked on before he smiled getting hit.

Speed Counters: 5
Yusei wins the duel!
Suddenly Jack's duel runner started veering out of control before flipping as went flying and crashed.
"JACK!" Kairi cried as they appeared back at the stadium where she started to run down. Leo and Luna ran with her as they noticed the last blast had damaged his runner. They arrived as Kairi held Jack as she said, "Jack! Jack! You alright!?"
"You must be proud, Yusei's the champ. And I'm finished." Jack told her before passing out.
"JACK!" Kairi screamed out.
The MC stunned by this cleared his throat, "W-Well I should say that wraps it! Everyone meet our new Duel King! Yusei Fudo!"
Yusei tried to run to them only to end up surrounded by reporters. Kairi screamed out, "Someone! Anyone! Please help! Jack, he needs a doctor!"
That's when two Sector Security Officers and Lazar approached.
"Jack will be given the proper medical attention, though Director Goodwin would like to personally congratulate Mr. Fudo." Lazar told her.
"Please tell me he'll be okay! He's one of the people I care deeply about!" Kairi told him.
"Jack will be fine. Now if you four will please come with..." Lazar started only to notice the reporters and sigh before turning to two officers. "Please escort Mr. Fudo to Director Goodwin's office."
The two nodded before walking over, and getting Yusei away from the reporters. As they were someone walked up.
"Kairi, you wanted to meet him?" asked a voice from behind her.
Kairi turned over to see Akiza.
"Well?" Akiza asked again. "Do you want to meet Sayer or not?"
Kairi told Lazar, "Tell Mr. Goodwin I'll be there in a minute please."
"Wait what?" Lazar questioned before a flash of light enveloped Akiza and Kairi only to fade revealing they had disappeared.
"Yo. Where they go?" Leo asked surprised.
"Akiza took Kairi to talk to that person that was with her." Luna answered.
Meanwhile...
Akiza, and Kairi appeared somewhere as Kairi looked around surprised by this teleportation.
"Kairi Jones correct? Akiza tells me you wanted to talk." said a calm male voice.
Kairi looked over to see the man that had teleported Akiza out of the arena. "Are you Sayer?"
He was smiling kindly. "Yes I am. Would you like to take a seat while we talk?"
Kairi sees the smile before nodding. Sayer nodded before walking over to two chairs and offering her one of them. "Now, how can I help you?"
Kairi sat down as she answered, "Well Akiza told me that you said Mr. Goodwin wanted to take over the world."
Sayer frowned hearing that. "He does, tell me Kairi have you ever heard of a group known as Iliaster?"
"Iliaster?" Kairi asked before thinking of it before shaking her head, "Sorry no I never heard of that group."
"I'm not surprised, it's one of Goodwin's two largest secrets." Sayer noted. "It's an organization that serves an entity known as the Crimson Dragon. They're planning to use its power to take control of the world, and as you've probably guessed Goodwin is a member of that organization."
"Hey... I seen it before." Kairi said as she remembered it appeared during the duel between Jack, and Yusei. "But Sayer... I think you might be wrong about him."
"He's gathering the Signers without telling you why isn't he?" Sayer asked. "And that isn't the only lie he's keeping."
"What's the other?" Kairi asked him.
"Our Sector Security Director is in fact from the Satellite." Sayer answered before turning to Kairi. "I understand that neither of us have done anything to earn your trust, but while Goodwin is keeping secrets from you I'm more than willing to answer whatever questions you may have."
"Sayer... Listen I think I know why he's getting us together, and it might not be anything for world domination." Kairi told him.
"What do you think that reason is?" Sayer inquired curiously.
"Well I don't know for certain, but I think the Crimson Dragon was trying to tell us something." Kairi answered. "During Yusei's duel with Jack it took us to a view of the past, and the future. The past shows us of the original Signers, and the future was terrible. It showed where it has both New Domino, and the Sattilite. Then out of nowhere a huge purple Spider Symbol appeared causing destruction everywhere. I think Goodwin was getting us together so we can stop that from happening."
"If the key is getting us all together then we should help Sayer and not Goodwin." Akiza told her. "He's done nothing but help me and give me a home here at the Arcadia Movement. You know that Goodwin only helped you and Yusei for your marks."
"But... What if Goodwin's reason was more Akiza?" Kairi asked her. "Goodwin helped me from Sector Security, fired the man who murdered my love, and gave me a home here in New Domino."
"May I ask you something Kairi? If you didn't have that mark on your arm do you think he would have done any of that?" Sayer inquired.
Kairi thinks out it, 'Now that he mentions it... Lazar would've called Sector Security if my mark haven't reacted-No. Mr. Goodwin is more then that.'
"Sayer? Can I ask you something?" Kairi asked him.
"Of course." Sayer answered.
"This will be hard but... Do you think you, and Goodwin can hold a truce?" Kairi asked him.
Sayer's eyes widened in surprise. "We aren't at war Kairi, though I suppose for the time being we could cooperate. I assume you mean until this vision is prevented?"
"Yes." Kairi nodded. "I know this will be too much for you, and that if you refuse I understand, but we have to work together both you, and Goodwin to stop this from happening."
"I'm not refusing Kairi, and while I may not have seen this vision like you and Akiza I have no reason to doubt you." Sayer told her.
"Thank you. I promise Mr. Goodwin doesn't have ill, or selfish intentions." Kairi smiled to him. "He done good things to me that are far then that. I... I came here to see... If Kalin was..."
She started crying as she said this. Sayer gently embraced her. "I'm sorry. If there's anything I can do to help you just let me know."
Kairi hugged him back continuing to sob. After she calmed down she said, "S-Sorry about that. just thinking about it makes me very sad... He never knew I loved him..."
"I understand." Sayer replied.
She wiped her eyes before smiling, "Thanks very much for listening Sayer... Can Akiza come with me so we can get answers Mr. Goodwin can tell us?"
Sayer nodded before holding up a card as the two girls vanished in a flash of light. They soon appeared back.
"Big sis, what happened?" Leo asked running up to her.
"Are you ok?" Luna asked.
"Yeah. I'm okay." Kairi smiled to them. "I talked to Sayer, and he said he's willing to agree a truce until we manage to stop that future from happening."
Leo looked confused while Luna blinked and nodded.
"Well, don't we have to go find out what he has to tell us?" Akiza inquired.
Kairi nodded as the four of them walked in the building.
Ulrich362: Well Yusei managed to win, and Sayer seems to be sympathetic to Kairi.
bopdog111: And she manages to have Akiza join to what Goodwin has to say.
Ulrich362: Whatever it is, there's a good chance it'll reveal more about that vision.
bopdog111: And hopefully Jack will recover from the duel.
Ulrich362: Hopefully, see you in the next chapter.
bopdog111: Be sure to review!
