*Barcelona, Spain, Queen Isabella Stadium, 7:24 AM. LST*
Paramedics had rushed the duel track to assist Makoto. The duel was on hold and Gregory had stopped back at his team station. Makoto was placed on a medical stretcher and was taken out of the stadium. Jeremy was back at the station getting ready for the match to continue.
Jeremy: Damn it! This duel should be cancelled! I need to make sure she's alright-
SMACK!
Jeremy was smacked in the back of the head by Ryan.
Ryan: Focus! Makoto will be fine. Just get out there and win, alright kid?
Jeremy: You saw her crash! How can she be alright? !
Ryan: I'll make sure of it. Now get ready.
Ryan then ran off and they got the signal to restart, Jeremy pulled out of the station and rode up to Gregory ready to begin the duel again.
Rucker (MC): Yo! We're about to start up again, so let's quickly go over the rules. Makoto had some life points left over, but Jeremy gets none of them. The Graveyard is cleared, and When Jeremy turn starts he can't attack even though he has some her cards still out on the field.
While Zack Rucker went over the rules, the man in the shadows was on his laptop ready to send another wireless signal.
?: I should wait. Having 2 wheel locks in a row might make people suspicious.
They reached the turn and Jeremy had two cards face-down, Watt King Cobra and Wattpheasant while Gregory had two face-down cards, Dragunity Phalanx and Dragunity Arma Mystletainn equipped with Dragunity Aklys.
Gregory (LP 4000) (SC 2): Dude, I hope your friend is alright. That was a nasty spill.
Jeremy (LP 4000) (SC 4): MY MOVE! *Draws, Gains a speed Counter* I'll summon Lyna, the Light Charmer (Lv.3 500/1500) in defense mode, switch my other cards to defense mode and set one card face-down! That ends my turn!
Gregory (SC 3): *draws, gains Speed Counter* Mystletainn, attack Lyna now!
Mystletainn charged toward Lyna.
Jeremy (SC 5): I activate the Trap Wattbarrier! If I control a Watt, I can negate 1 attack!
An electrical barrier appeared in front of Lyna and blocked the attack.
Gregory (SC 4): I'll switch Dragunity Phalanx to defense mode and end my turn!
Jeremy: It's my turn, then! *draws, gains Speed Counter* I now switch Wattpheasant into attack mode and then I'll summon the Tuner Elemental Mage (Lv.1 500/100)! Then I'll tune Elemental Mage with Lyna and Watt King Cobra to unlock Lyna's true power! I Synchro Summon Lyna, the Light Mistress (Lv.8 3200/1500)!
An older, more powerful version of Lyna, the Light Charmer appeared next to Jeremy's Duel Runner. Meanwhile, Tinker was watching the monitors and the data coming in wirelessly from the runner. He noticed an Irregularity.
Tinker: *Thinks: What this? There seems to be an unrecognized signal coming from the runner. If I can isolate it…*
Tinker did some typing on the keyboards and then isolated the signal.
Tinker: *Thinks: The Front wheel? Son of a bitch! I can probably find out the Origin point of the outer signal if-*
Tinker then intercepted a wireless transmission signaling for Jeremy's Runner.
Tinker (Into Mic): JEREMY! POP A WHEELIE NOW!
Jeremy (SC 6): Huh?
Jeremy quickly popped a wheelie just as his front will stopped spinning. This caught Jeremy by surprise! After a few seconds it started spinning again and Jeremy let the front wheel down.
Tinker (Mic): Alright, I can find out the source and fix this problem.
Jeremy: Alright, Still my turn! Also, Lyna gains 100 attack points for each Light card on the field and in the Graveyard! There's Watt King Cobra, Lyna the Light Charmer and Elemental Mage are in my Graveyard and Wattpheasant on the field, so that's 400 extra attack points! Now, attack!
Lyna summoned forth a bright light that surrounded Dragunity Mystletainn and destroyed him, along with the Dragunity Aklys equipped to it, inflicting 1500 points of damage to Gregory.
Gregory (LP 2500) (SC 5): Thanks to Akyls' effect, when he's sent to the Graveyard while equipped to a monster, I can select a card on the field and destroy it!
Jeremy: I saw that coming, because I now activate the Counter Trap Faux Doll Counter! When a Spellcaster is targeted by a card effect, I can summon a Faux Doll Token to take its place!
A goofy-looking doll appeared on the field and was destroyed instead of Lyna.
Gregory: Well, then I'll activate the Trap Michizure! Since you destroyed one of my monsters in battle, I can destroy one of yours as payback!
Lyna was destroyed from the effect of Michizure.
Jeremy: I still have one more move! Wattpheasant, attack him directly!
Wattpheasant flew at Gregory's Duel Runner and inflicted 1000 points of damage.
Jeremy: Then I activate his other effect! When he inflicts direct Battle Damage, I can remove one of your monsters! I'll remove your Phalanx from play until the End Phase!
Wattpheasant blew a gust of wind that removed Dragunity Phalanx from play.
Jeremy: Then, since Elemental Mage was used as Synchro Material and that Synchro Monster was sent to the Graveyard, I can add her to my hand! *adds card to hand* I'll end my turn with one more card face-down!
Gregory (LP 1500): *draws, gains Speed Counter* I summon Dragunity Dux (Lv.4 1500/1000)! And when he's summoned, he equips himself with a Level 3 or lower Dragunity monster and I choose Aklys once again! And he gains 200 attack points for each face-up Dragunity monster! There's 3, so that's 600 attack points! Then I'll remove him from play to Special Summon Dragunity Arma Leyvaten (Lv.8 2600/1200)! Since Aklys was sent to the Graveyard again while equipped to a monster, I can destroy your Wattpheasant!
Jeremy (SC 7): I activate the Trap Protecting the Innocent! This prevents all Level 4 and below monsters from being destroyed this turn! That's for both battles and card effects!
Gregory (SC 6): Well, then I'll activate Leyvaten's ability! When he's summoned, I can equip him with a Dragunity from my Graveyard and when he's destroyed, I can Special Summon that monster! I equip him with Aklys! Leyvaten, attack Wattpheasant!
Leyvaten attacked Wattpheasant, and while he wasn't destroyed, Jeremy took 1600 points of damage.
Gregory: I'll end my turn with one more card face-down!
While the Fierce back and forth continued, in the shadows the Mystery villain was ready to crash Jeremy's Runner.
?: And with the push of a button, I'll crash the kids runner this time.
Before the guy pushed any button on his laptop, he was yanked away, by his ankle and held upside down. He was being held by snake like Chain, that emerged from under the Coat of Raza.
Raza: Now, I told Bobby, NOT to kill them. And you made the Yellow Rose Paralyzed from the Neck down? Granted, she's not dead, but she's useless now. That makes me very sad. L
Raza then walked over to the laptop which was laying on the floor and repeatedly stomped on it until it was broken into a lot of broken pieces.
?: What the Hell are you doing you Psychopath? !
Raza: Stopping your boss from making BIGGER mistake. I would hate to have to dispose of him…I guess you'll do for now.
With a sinister grin, Raza took the masked man, and disappeared within his green flames. And duel continued on…
Jeremy (LP 2400): *draws, gains Speed Counter* I now activate the other Trap Makoto left me! Limit Reverse! To bring back Lyna the Light Charmer! Then I summon Elemental Mage! Then I'll tune Elemental Mage with Lyna and Wattpheasant to bring forth the creator of magic who taught the art of sorcery to a new generation! I Synchro Summon Mystical Origin Dragon (Lv.8 3200/3000)! And he gains a total of 300 extra attack points for Lyna and Elemental Mage in my Graveyard!
Gregory (SC 7): I activate Call of the Haunted to bring back Dragunity Dux! And since I have a total of 4 face-up Dragunity monsters, he gains 800 attack points!
Jeremy (SC 8): That won't matter, because I will now have Origin Dragon will attack Phalanx! And since a Spellcaster is attacking a Defense Position monster, I can send Spear Mage (Lv.3 1500/500) from my hand to the Graveyard to inflict piercing damage this turn!
Gregory: I'll counter by activating Urgent Tuning so I can tune Phalanx with Dux!
Jeremy: Not so fast! I now send the Tuner Magical Synchron (Lv.3 1200/800) from my hand to the Graveyard to negate the activation of your Trap and destroy it!
Origin Dragon fired a mystical energy stream at Draunity Phalanx and destroyed it, reducing Gregory's Life Points to 0. Gregory then pulled into his team station, then Jeremy spoke to Tinker through their microphones.
Tinker (Mic): Jeremy, good news! It appears that the wireless signal that was transmitting to your Runner has disappeared!
Jeremy (Mic): Well, how's Makoto doing? Is she okay?
Tinker (Mic): Ryan went to go see her, no word yet.
Meanwhile, in Team Dragon Fang's station, Gregory passed the baton on to Skyler Edge. His Runner was a black Phoenix Whirlwind model with a dragon's head in front.
Gregory: Not as glorious as I wanted it, but it's was still alright. End this duel, will you?
Skyler: You know I will.
Skyler's engines ignited and he rocketed out of the stations and onto the track. He pulls up behind Jeremy and was ready to make his move.
Skyler (LP 4000) (SC 7): MY MOVE! *draws, gains Speed Counter* I activate the Speed Spell- Dimensional Fissure! By removing 5 Speed Counters, all monsters are removed from play instead of going to the Graveyard! Then I release both Dragunity Leyvatein and Dux in order to summon Dark Horus (Lv.8 3000/1800)! Now, since Dragunity Aklys was equipped to Leyvatein and sent to the Graveyard, I can destroy your Origin Dragon!
Mystical Origin Dragon was destroyed and Jeremy had nothing left in the field.
Skyler (SC 3): Since I can't attack yet, I can only set this card face-down and end my turn!
Jeremy (SC 9): *thinks: I don't think I can last much longer. Where's Ryan?*
As they passed the Team Rose station, they saw Ryan running back with Makoto, who appeared perfectly fine after her crash.
Jeremy: *thinks: Oh, thank goodness, they're both there.*
As they passed the station, Skyler was shocked to see Makoto there after her accident.
Skyler: *thinks: No way! There's no way she could be up this soon after a crash like that!*
Jeremy: *draws, gains Speed Counter* I activate the effect of Magical Synchron! Since there's a face-up Spell Card on my field, I can Special Summon him from my Graveyard! Then I summon Maiden of Macabre (Lv.4 1700/0)! Then I'll tune them together in order to Synchro Summon Arcanite Magician (Lv.7 400/1800)! And when he's Synchro Summoned, he gains 2 Spell Counters, and I can use one of them to destroy Dark Horus!
Arcanite Magician let loose a magical blast that hit Horus, but it did nothing to him.
Skyler (SC 4): I activated the Trap Overfury Dragon! For one turn, Dragon-type monsters are not destroyed by anything and if it's my turn, they must attack!
Jeremy (SC 10): I can only place this card face-down and end my turn!
Skyler: Then it's my move then! *draws, gains Speed Counter* I now summon Red-Eyes Wyvern (Lv.4 1800/1600)! Then I remove him from play in order to Special Summon the Red-Eyes Darkness Metal Dragon (Lv.10 2800/2400)! Now, Darkness Dragon, attack his Magician!
Red-Eyes Darkness Metal Dragon shot a black fireball at Arcanite Magician and destroyed him, inflicting Jeremy with 1400 points of damage.
Skyler (SC 5): Then Horus will finish you off!
Horus breathed a black fire at Jeremy and reduced his Life Points to 0. Jeremy pulled into their station and passed the baton on to Ryan, who was on his Duel Runner, ready to go.
Derek: You sure nyou can beat him, Ryan?
Ryan: Hell no! He's much better than I am!
Derek: O_O What? ! I thought you said-
Ryan: You asked me if I knew his strategies, which I do. I've just never been able to beat his strategies.
Ryan then rocketed out of the gate, leaving Derek's mouth agape and Ryan pulled up behind his brother.
Ryan (LP 4000) (SC 11): All right, Skyler! My move! *draws, gains Speed Counter* I now activate the effect of Speed World 2! By removing 10 Speed Counters, I can destroy Red-Eyes Darkness Metal Dragon!
Red-Eyes Darkness Metal Dragon was destroyed by the effect of Speed World 2.
Ryan (SC 2): Then I'll end my turn by placing one monster face-down in defense mode and two cards face-down!
Skyler (SC 6): *draws, gains Speed Counter* I now remove Dark Horus from play to Special Summon another Darkness Metal Dragon! Now, attack his face-down monster!
Ryan's face-down monster was Shield Wing (Lv.2 0/900), which wasn't destroyed.
Skyler (SC 7): I activate Speed Spell-Golden Sarcophagus! This allows me to remove one card in my Deck from play and then add it to my hand during my second Standby Phase! Then I'll place two cards face-down and end my turn!
Ryan (SC 3): *Draws, Gains a speed counter* Alright now! I'll summon the Tuner Monster Level Stealer (Lv.1 0/0)! Then I'll use his effect to steal 6 Levels from your Dragon!
Level Stealer took 6 Levels from Red-Eyes Darkness Metal Dragon and grew 6 times its size.
Ryan (SC 4): Then I'll tune the Level 7 Level Stealer with the Level 2 Shield Wing to Synchro Summon the Black Dragon Knight (Lv.9 3600/3300)! Then his effect activates! When Synchro Summoned, he can destroy one Dragon-type monster on the field! I'll destroy your Red-Eyes!
Black Dragon Knght slashed Red-Eyes Darkness Metal Dragon, destroying it.
Ryan: Then he'll attack you directly!
The attack hit and Skyler lost 3600 Life Points.
Skyler (SC 8): I activate the Trap Nutrient Z! This increases my Life Points by 4000 right before I take 2000 or more damage!
Ryan: I'll end my turn!
Skyler (LP 4400): *draws, gains Speed Counter* I'll set two cards face-down, one monster in defense mode and end my turn!
Ryan (SC 5): *draws, gains Speed Counter* Black Dragon Knight, attack that face-down monster!
Skyler (SC 10): I activate the Trap Mirror Force to destroy your Knight!
Ryan (SC 6): I counter with the Trap Dark Bribe! This negates your card and destroys it! However, you must draw 1 card!
Skyler draws a card and Skyler's face-down Red-Eyes Black Chick was destroyed by Black Dragon Knight's attack.
Ryan: I'll activate the Speed Spell-Graceful Charity! Since I have 3 or more Speed Counters, I can draw 3 cards as long as I discard two! *draws and discards* Then I'll end my turn!
Skyler: *draws, gains Speed Counter* I can now add the card I removed from Golden Sarcophagus to my hand! *adds card to hand* Then I activate the effect of Speed World 2! By removing 10 Speed Counters, I can destroy your Black Dragon Knight!
Black Dragon Knight was destroyed.
Skyler: Then I'll summon Dark Grepher (Lv.4 1700/1600)! But he won't stay for long, since I'll now remove him from play to summon my third Red-Eyes Darkness Metal Dragon! And he is free to attack you directly!
Ryan was hit by the attack and lost 2800 Life Points.
Zack (MC): Yoyoyo! Things are looking bad for Ryan Edge! Looks like Team Rose is gonna get their first loss as a team!
In the audience, the rest of the team was watching in the stands while the fans of Barcelona cheered on their favorite team's best duelist.
Krystal: This duel feels so intense. Ryan's gonna win, right?
Colin: He better.
Everyone looked at Colin, whose face was still buried in those books and he didn't even look up from it.
Colin: Ryan has dueled his brother for years. If he can't win one duel against him, then he really doesn't understand how to be a duelist.
Everybody was silent as they tried to contemplate what he just said.
Ali: Colin, that makes no sense.
Colin: Well, uh, you, shut up! I'm reading!
Colin then buried his head in the book, trying to hide his shame.
Skyler: I'll end my turn with a face-down!
Ryan (LP 1200) (SC 7): *draws, gains Speed Counter* I'll activate Speed Spell-Lightning Vortex! Since I have 3 or more Speed Counters, I discard one card from my hand to destroy all monsters on your field!
Skyler (SC 2): Hmm, good!
Ryan (SC 8): Good?
Lightning Vortex destroyed Red-Eyes Darkness Metal Dragon.
Skyler: Because I now activate the Trap Return From a Different Dimension! By paying half of my Life Points, I bring back my three Red-Eyes Darkness Metal Dragons, Dark Horus and Red-Eyes Wyvern!
A hole opened up in the sky and Skyler's army of dragons soared down.
Ryan: Oh no! Oh, wait, I got a Trap myself! Trap Copy! Since you activated a Trap that required you to pay Life Points or tribute a monster, I can now activate that effect as my own without having to pay a price! And I'll think I'll take your Return From a Different Dimension! And I got quite a build-up of monsters in there!
Another hole opened up in the sky and Black Dragon Knight was the first card to come out, followed by Level Stealer and Shield Wing.
Ryan: Now I'll use Level Stealer's ability to steal 7 Levels from one of your Metal Dragons!
Level Stealer grew 7 times in size.
Ryan: Then I'll tune Level Stealer with Shield Wing again to Synchro Summon Silver Dragon (Lv.10 3700/3000)! Now, Black Dragon Knight gains 700 attack points for each dragon on the field during the Battle Phase! Attack, my knight!
Skyler: I activate Widespread Ruin to destroy your attacking Knight!
The Black Dragon Knight was destroyed in an explosive fire.
Ryan: Silver Dragon, attack that Darkness Metal Dragon!
Silver Dragon destroyed one of the three Darkness Metal Dragons and inflicted Skyler with 900 points of damage.
Ryan: Then comes his ability! Since a monster was destroyed in battle and you control another monster, I can destroy another monster!
The second Red-Eyes Darkness Metal Dragon was destroyed.
Ryan: But that's not all! I now activate Jeremy's face-down card, the one he set before you beat him, Curran's Furious Shadows! When one of my monsters successfully destroyed a monster in battle, it can attack again and gains 500 more attack points! Now, Silver Dragon, destroy that last Darkness Dragon!
As Silver Dragon had his power increased to 4200, he destroyed the last Darkness Metal Dragon and inflicted Skyler with 1400 points of damage. Then he destroyed Dark Horus using his effect.
Ryan: And now for one final attack, Silver Dragon will attack your Red-Eyes Wyvern!
Silver Dragon destroyed the last monster Skyler had, reducing his Life Points to 0.
Ryan (LP 1200) (SC 8): Game over!
Zack (MC): Yoyoyoyo! Totally righteous duel! Stay tuned with my post-game conference with the winning team… Somebody get my protective cup ready.
Ryan pulled back in his team station, where everybody was waiting for him.
Jeremy: Good duel, Ryan.
Ryan: Thanks to you. That card really helped out.
Jeremy: What do you expect? I am the best duelist on the team.
Colin: Excuse me? I resent that!
Jeremy: Well, sorry, Colin, but you didn't duel today. How good can you be? *snickers*
Colin: Oh yeah? "Makotoooo!"
Both Jeremy and Makoto turned to stone at the embarrassing inquisition by Colin.
Laura: Oh, snap! I totally heard that!
Marc: Are you kidding? The whole stadium heard it! "MAKotoooo!"
Makoto: *blushes* S-S-Stop it!
Jeremy: *blushes* Yeah, c-cut it out!
Ryan: Oh, come on! You two know you luv each other!
Jeremy and Makoto: SHUT UUUP!
While the others laughed at Jeremy and Makoto's expense, Skyler came over to the group and his presence made everybody stop what they were doing.
Ryan: Yo, bro, what's up?
Skyler: How is it possible that your friend there is up and walking after a brutal crash like that? Any normal person would still be looked over by the doctors.
Makoto: Um, I'm not normal?
Skyler: Clearly. What's the truth here?
Ryan started to rub the back of his neck and his Blue Rose Mark glowed ever so slightly.
Ryan: I don't know. Just a mystery.
Skyler: …I'll bet!
Skyler walked away with less answers then he wanted out of the roses.
*Unknown Location*
In a Dark Room, a Man wearing a blank white mask, with only his left eye showing, and a long Black cloak covering his body, held a Globe in his hand. He turned it around to Spain and Marked the City of Barcelona with a red Marker. He then Connected it to another Red Mark in London. There were Red marks all over the Globe, all Connected by a Red Line. There was No distinct pattern except they were all city locations. There were still some spots not yet marked.
?: Just a little while Longer. Raza is doing well…
