(Full intrumental opening) It starts off with a picture of a few flashes of Storm and his ride, followed by Amber's and then flashes among the 5Ds characters, Akira when he thumbs up and Kira, throwing the cards to the sky while he walks towards the light and the title appears which skips to the second guitar solo and the singing begins.
(I wanna make you satisfied, Choukousoku de tsurete iku ze) First is the picture of Storm in his army suit and his old organization at the background, then it shifts to the right, where he is now in his casual clothes and Neo Domino City background and smiles.

(Kono omoi hageshikute, Tomerarenai dare ni mo) As Kira walks normally, the 5Ds crew appears at the background along with his friends from his timeline and everything burns away and he looked forward in anger.
(Machi wo tsutsumu Yami no kehai wo ima) As the darkness began to shroud in the city, everyone rides on their D-Wheel and D-Board.
(You go ahead) They pressed on to go fast forward to the source of darkness.
(Kirisakou Motto Ignition) Storm, Amber, Kira, Akira and Yusei pressed forward in light speed. And then the 6 flashes appear in this order: Storm with his ace monsters (LSS Shi En and Kibou Ou Hope), Kira with his Gustaph Cannon, Amber with her Synchro Monster, Akira with his army of Inverz, Team 5Ds and the Yliaster with Z-One.

(Zetsubou made hakonde yuku) 5Ds, Akira and Amber cheers on for them defeating Z-One.
(Leave all behind) Kira looks up and remembers about his destroyed Neo Domino City at the background.
(Oto ni oitsuku hodo Jikan wo nuki saru hodo) Z-One tried to pushed Yusei and Storm away but they summoned out all of the ace monsters which belongs to 5Ds and Storm's team respectively.
(Accel... Sora no hate made hashi~re~ Yeah!) Both Yusei and Storm drives to the sky with the monsters to create a black hole onto the sky.
(Don't be afraid just step on it
Bring you up to this extreme speed
It's like a dream but could be real
Just handle it you just handle it)
This is the part where all of the 5Ds, including Trudge, Mikage, Carly and Kiryu and Storm, Amber, Kira and Akira watching the view of the rising sun on the city with a smile on their face and the music ends by zooming out to all of the characters stated.
Chapter 19: Encounter with the Yliasters
*Amber's Point of View*
Gh… where am I right now? Why my head does feel hurt and these bandages on my arm? Oh yeah, I remember now… I was defeated by that GHOST and his XYZ… and he… took my closest friend… my Wyvern.
Rua: Wa! Amber-nee-chan! You're awake! I better go tell the others! *goes outside to the garage*
Amber: *sits up and hold my injured arm* Where am I? Moreover, how'd I get here? Didn't I faint on the streets just now?
As a train of thoughts runs through my mind, I tried to stand up from the couch which it seems to be where I rested but a jolt of pain runs through me and I ended up sits back while flinching in pain.
Storm: Oh, Amber. You're awake. You've been out cold since yesterday. You got me and the rest of the gang worried there, y'know? It's better than me knocked out for 3 days from that duel… ^^"
I see… so I was knocked out for a whole day but to think that he's been out cold for 3 days, even with the military training? That's impressive for me, that is…
Storm: Here. Something to get your health back up...
He handed me a breakfast meal and since that I really do feel a little hungry, might as well just eat it while it's still hot. And just for confirmation…
Amber: That GHOST… took my wyvern… didn't he?
Storm: *look away* Unfortunately… yeah. He did say something about claim the spoils of the victory but why targeting us duelists? That's something that bothers me for a while…
Amber: I just don't know, Storm… *takes out and look at red eyes wyvern* …but I'll make sure I'll get back what's mine and other riders' cards that was taken by it.
Storm: *nod* Remember, you're not the only one who has some sort of payback to them… I'm gonna make them pay for knocking me out of conscious for 3 days.
*Storm's Point of View*
Yeah, it looks like both Amber and I are in the same boat as it is right now. Somehow, I think that using these XYZ cards will surely help me out with this kind of situation but there's one thing I still don't understand.
Kira: And the reason those cards are blank in the first place is because of it lack some sort of imagination. When the time is right, use them and they will return the call back to you.
I wonder what he means by that? Using your imagination for these XYZ monsters? I thought that most of them have some sort of an image already like my samurais does… can you actually do something like that? One thing I do know is that I'm not the King of Games, that's for sure…
Amber: Hey, what's wrong? You're always like this ever since the WTGP tournament.
Storm: *surprised a little* O-oh? It's nothing really. Just have a lot of things to think about in my mind, that's all.
Yusei: *walk towards them* Storm, have you seen Jack and Crow? They should have been helping me out with the engine that Bruno and I programmed for? They haven't return back since yesterday…
Storm: *shakes my head* Not really, Yusei. Could they be in some sort of trouble?
Yusei: *thinks* That's what worries me right now.
Storm: Why don't we check it out, just to be sure… and I hope it doesn't involve GHOSTs again… let's go, Yusei.
Amber: Wait, I'm going as well! *tstands up while clutches my arm*
Storm: No, its best if you stay here for now. Judging by your condition, you need time for recovery.
Rua: Yeah, Amber-nee-chan! Let Yusei and Storm-nii-san do this!
Yusei: *nod* We don't want you to end up getting another trouble as it is right now…
Amber: No, you don't understand! That card is very important member to me and there's no way I can just sit here and do nothing! If I can't follow you guys, I'll go and look for them by myself! *started to walk to the garage while holding the injured arm*
Storm: *grab her free arm* Amber, I know that you wanted to have your Wyvern back, but if you get yourself injured again by that GHOST, I don't think that you can even survived like last time...
Yusei: He's right. I know that they are something that can't be looked down to. I nearly lost to them if it wasn't for Majestic Star Dragon.
Amber: Sorry, you guys… they are something that is irreplaceable for me… *smiles softly*
As soon as she smiles, she quickly yanked her arm from my grip while I let my guard down and went to the garage in a quick pace as she skates away with my D-Board and speeds away outside, leaving me with no transportation to chase her.
Storm: *snap my fingers* Darn it… I knew I should've brought along my D-Wheel as well for emergencies like this…
Rua: Storm-nii-san! Why don't you use mine? I'm sure it'll help you out finding her quickly.
Rua offered to borrow his D-Board to me and how could I say no? I mean, this is that there are times where you don't have much of a choice since Amber is still in recovery and there's no way I'll let her face the danger again. Time to head out to find her, Jack and Crow with the little help from Yusei and Rua's D-Board.
*Kira's Point of View*
Great, now it's in the afternoon and this is getting me nowhere since yesterday… finding my card in this large city for that GHOST is like finding a bread truck just to get make a good sandwich of the day. How am I supposed to find that GHOST if there are multiples of them in the city, but last night, I saw Jack vs Jack by chance… kinda creepy if you asked me but it's a good thing he won… the REAL Jack that is. Knowing him, he won't go down without a fight, just like in my timeline. As I passed through a corner of the street and nearly hit my head on the passsing through car to continue my search for the missing card…
Kira: *stops and look at the Dark Alley* Hel~lo, what do we have here? Looks like someone is encountered Yliaster in there… where's my PokeMonsters when you need one to capture them? Oh well, time for a little sneak and listen to what they say.
Amber: Yliasters, come out here and face me, you cowards!
Hmm… that girl, she must be the one that named Amber, right? I wonder why she's talking all alone over there and uh- oh, nevermind… I think I know the answer to that, which I saw Goldilocks and his pals were just about to enter the portal that they made just now. Seriously, that Goldilocks needs a haircut.
Lucciano: *smiles evilly* Oh, a Wyvern user is following us all the way here? And look, she's even in a bad condition as well… *laughs evilly*
Note to self, if someone laughs like that, stuff them with a smelly cheese and see how they'll act. I better hide myself from being detected by them as I leaned very close to the wall and just listens to their conversation as I saw some sort of… glowing from her arm?
Amber: If you must know, I am also a bearer of a Signer Mark of a Vessel! Now… *glares at them* what have you done with Jack and Crow?
Jose: We have done nothing but the GHOSTs are the one that done to them, young Signer…we were only just observing the surroundings…
Placido: I don't think that Team 5Ds will even made it to the WRGP if they continue doing so. We, the Yliasters, will correct the path of this present time for the sake of our better future. If it wasn't for your Synchro Monsters with their quick evolution, maybe the future will not be destroyed by it.
Amber: *gets mad* You guys are lying! There's no way I'm gonna believe what you're saying! Synchro Monsters will affect the future? Get real!
Jose: We are only telling the truth. And we are here to fix it that you people have done…
Lucciano: What are you going to do about it, little girl? Trying to fight with all of us while you're all alone?
Amber: Why you… *gets angry as the claws of the Red Eyes Wyvern are created on my hands* You'll pay for this! *starts to rush towards them*
Wow, a duel between a girl and one of the Yliasters… this doesn't happen at my place as we people never let violence gets into our mind… wait, what am I saying, this is way better than I was hoping for! For me to see this battle between that girl and the thin man goes head to head… I should've bring a popcorn along with me if I knew there's gonna be a fight… until a certain character that appears out of nowhere.
Storm: *looks at him* What's going on here?
Kira: *surprised and pulled him down* Keep your head low, you idiot! Why are you here?
Storm: I was searching for Jack, Crow and Amber. Why are you here, Kira-san?
Kira: Watching a duel… a REAL duel, that is…
Storm: Huh? *takes a peek and surprised*
Placido: *blocks her attack and pushes her back* Jose, can I kill her now?
Jose: Patience, Placido. She must live and we shall defeat her in the WRGP, if she has her own group, that is. Young Signer, you may have the ability to use the power of the Duel Spirits for your own safety, but—
Lucciano: —you're just as pathetic as always! To think that you want to take us head on with you, all alone? *laughs evilly*
I think he just lost his marbles… what the…? Where did Storm go just now? He was here a minute ago and I think I got a pretty good idea where he is…
Storm: Who says that she's alone? *stands next to her*
Amber: *look back* Storm!
Placido: *annoyed face* Hmph… you humans are really annoying at times…
Jose: Withdraw your weapon, Placide. It is time for us to return back to our place. You will have your chance to finish your business with her, Placido. For now, you must recover your wounds, young Signer…
Placido: Tch… you're lucky, human… *puts back the sword to its place*
Jose: We will settle this in the WRGP, which will be held a few months from now. I suggest that you better be prepared until then… and if you must know, we do not have the cards that GHOST have taken from others. Let's go, you two… *opens the portal*
As soon as the portal opens up for them to walk, I stand up from my hiding and saw that girl trying to get her hands… or claws on them but only to be hold back by Storm. I think someone here is really pissed off rght now and I don't blame them…
Storm: Hey, you should really calm down your temper, y'know? Getting angry over them won't make things go any better…
Amber: *calms down but getting tired* Wy-vern… *falls unconscious on his arms*
Storm: *grabs her* Shesh, you're still recovering from your wounds and look what you've done to yourself… *sigh* Good thing I was passing this place…
Heh, lucky bastard… playing hero, huh? I better put this down on my black book and get on my way searching for my card once again. But first… I need a sandwich.
*Storm's Point of View*
It's a good thing that I found her before things are getting worse than before. Who would have thought that I find her against the Yliaster, while Kira-san was spying for no reason… carrying her at my back while riding a D-Board sure isn't easy, but it kinda feel a little nostalgic to me because when I was a kid, I used to carry Kizuna on my back when she was injured or something, sometimes she just feels like it and jump right at my back. I wonder how Yusei and the rest are doing at the garage. And how am I gonna explain her claws? ^^"
Yusei: Ah, Storm. You're back and it seems that you've found her…
Storm: Yeah, talk about a lucky break. (Should I tell him about her encounter with the Yliaster?)
For some reason, I can feel some sort of a pull on my jacket at my back, as she looks at me and shakes her head, meaning that she wanted me to keep it a secret about it. She's already up, huh?
Storm: (I guess I shouldn't after all… for now…) So, what about Jack and Crow? Did you find them anywhere?
Yusei: *nod* And they are okay, at least.
Aki: Are you two alright?
Storm: Oh, uh… yeah… she's just feels a little tired, that's all.
Aki: Oh… but then, what about that? *pointing at her claws*
Storm: Uh… that's a little bit hard to explain… ^^" I bet she hasn't told you guys about this, huh?
Aki: *shakes my head* No, this is the first time I see her can doing that…
Storm: Well, can you guys excuse us for a moment? There's something that I would like to talk to Amber for a moment…
That's one way to avoid their conversation as I quickly went to a guest room and puts her onto the bed since that she's still recovering from that assault just now. As soon as we're all alone in the room, there's one thing I'm gonna ask her.
Storm: I think we should form a team for the WRGP.
Amber: I was about to say the same thing, but are you sure? I bear the mark of a Crimson Vessel and with the abilities that I have, I'm pretty much dangerous and a huge target for the Yliaster.
Storm: Yeah, I may not be a Signer like you guys, but at least let me help you out because I kinda feel guilty for not able to save your card if it wasn't for that crash you had earlier. *walks towards the window* I think that we should try to ask Kira-san to join in as well.
Amber: Don't worry about it, I should've thought of a back-up plan earlier… alright, all we need now is a third person to join in our team.
Storm: Hm… *thinks a little* We can't ask for another member from 5Ds since that they have already made up their mind, your big sister, Kellie, is still studying outside of the city, Sherry does offer me to join in her team but I refused and I have no idea where Kira-san is, since he didn't stay at one place for very long… ^^'
Amber: Oh well, I guess just the two of us will do. Besides, we are pretty strong like in that WTGP tournament.
Storm: *look at her* Are you sure? It will be our disadvantage, but it's your call, Amber and I just go with the flow, I guess…
Amber: I've been through an obstacle tougher than this and I think we can do it. I promise that on my word as a duelist that we'll win the WRGP and beat that Yliaster! *smiles*
Seeing her smile like that, despite her injuries that she received earlier, really makes me feel warm inside as if that I wanted to help her out in any way I can. Besides, I'm a former soldier and dueling is one thing I do know. I don't have all the answers for this kind of stuff just yet but all I can say is this…
Storm: I'll make sure that everything goes well to the end.
Aki: *enters the room and carrying a laptop on her hands* You two! You have to see this!
Breaking news! More D-Wheelers are injured due to a mysterious duelist refering to as GHOST that have attacking them. Not only that, they also said that it also took away their ace monsters as their trophy and this is the latest shot earlier today.
The picture on the news shows that Amber's Ancient Sacred Wyvern attacking the other duelists and snatches away their ace cards and also some unfortunate duelists have either being pinned by crashed D-Wheels or just laying around on the ground from the aftermath of the duel.
Aki: *pointed to the screen* Isn't that your card, Amber?
Amber: *hugging my legs together* Wyvern…
Storm: That's it, I can't take it anymore… Amber, let's get card of yours back already.
Amber: *tries to stand up and holding his shoulders as the claws on my hands disappeared* Yeah, time for a little payback for what that thing did to me…
Aki: *surprised* You can't be serious, can't you? I mean, Amber is still hurt since yesterday.
Storm: Yep… *smiles confidently*
As soon as both of us walks out of the room and leaving the confused Aki in there, both of us headed our way to Amber's D-Wheel that is fully repaired and I bring along my own D-Board this time, as I was ready to head out.
Bruno: You can't be serious… you want to face them again?
Amber: Yeah, I'm gonna get back my card back from that GHOST and put it back to where it belongs! Let's get going, Storm!
As much as they tried to stop us, I revved up her D-Wheel and speeds off from the garage, as our search for the GHOST has begun.
Bruno: Looks like she doesn't take "rest" too well. *looks outside* Be careful, you two…
There you have it, it looks like the duel is about to be repeated itself once again as both of them are hunting down the one that's responsible for their injury. And I wanted to apologize for the late update since it's kinda a hectic week for me again as the examination is closing in and I will try my best to make a good duel between the gaps of the exam week. Let's Break It Down to the next chapter for the duel!
