"Things are progressing quite well wouldn't you say Sky?" Roman asked.

"Of course, I knew the fool would underestimate his opponents, and now we know what kind of strength these signers have." Sky said calmly. "Although I should even the playing field, I shall return."

"Alright, just make sure you don't miss the fun." Roman said calmly.

"I wouldn't dream of it." Sky said before vanishing in a purple glow.

"Sky, what's going on?" Carly asked. "What are you doing here?"

"I know you don't have quite the same connection, but you must be aware that Devack was defeated." Sky said.

"Yeah, I felt a slight tingle in my mark, but it doesn't matter, I won't lose to anyone." Carly said before revealing her Earthbound Immortal.

"I agree, however nobody would be wise to underestimate the former turbo duel champion." Sky said.

"Wait Jack?" Carly asked. "You mean Jack Atlas right?"

"Yes, he should be on his way here, so are you certain you don't want my gift?" Sky asked before creating a card out of thin air.

"Alright, what card is it?" Carly asked taking the card.

"The lost Fortune Lady, the Fortune Lady Divinity." Sky said. "Now crush the signer."

"If you don't mind Sky, I have a better idea." Carly said as a smile began to cross her lips.

"Very well, I trust your judgment Carly." Sky said before vanishing into a purple smoke.

"Angel, great news we managed to seal one of the control units." Leo said excitedly.

"I know, that's great news, we still have a lot of time before midnight, we might just make it." Angel said when the wings in her mark began to glow. "I think Jack is about to engage in the second duel."

"Really, in that case we should try to help him however we can." Luna said.

"I agree, but the best way to help him is to trust him, he is still a great duelist." Angel said.

"Well, are you the dark signer I've heard so much about? Honestly you don't impress." Jack said when he arrived at the control unit.

"Oh, well I guess you wouldn't mind proving that in a duel Jack." said a figure from above the control unit. "Unless you're scared of losing."

"Jack Atlas is scared of no challenge, so let's duel." Jack said.

"Alright, this should be fun." The figure said before removing her hood. "Now let me grab my ride."

"That's insane, you're that reporter girl, how on earth could you be a dark signer?" Jack asked.

"There's a lot you don't know Jack, so are you ready to duel or not?" Carly asked while getting on a duel runner.

"Fine, don't say I didn't warn you." Jack said before getting on his own runner. "I activate the Speed World field spell"

"Well, now we're talking." Carly said.

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

Jack life points 4000 speed counters 0 Carly life points 4000 speed counters 0: "I'll go first, I start with two cards facedown, and summon Fortune Lady Wind in attack mode." Carly said. "That ends my move."

Jack life points 4000 speed counters 1 Carly life points 4000 speed counters 1: "Alright, my move and I'll set three of my cards facedown, and next I summon out my Mad Archfiend in attack mode, now Mad Archfiend attack her Fortune Lady Water."

"I play a trap card, Slip of Fortune." Carly said before her monster vanished. "Now your attack is negated, and my Fortune lady comes back during my standby phase."

"Alright, in that case I'll end my move." Jack said.

Jack life points 4000 speed counters 2 Carly life points 4000 speed counters 2: "My move, and now my Fortune Lady returns to the field, and her special ability activates." Carly said with a grin.

"Special ability, what are you talking about?" Jack asked.

"Every turn during my standby phase all of my Fortune Lady cards gain one level, and since their attack power is based on their levels, Fortune Lady Water gains 300 attack points." Carly explained.

"Well, that's an interesting ability, but my Mad Archfiend still has 600 attack points more than your Fortune Lady." Jack said calmly.

"I know, but I have something better, I tribute Fortune Lady Water, in order to summon Fortune Lady Dark to the field." Carly said. "Now my monster is the strongest on the field."

"Maybe, so why don't you attack if you're so confident." Jack said.

"Simple, those facedown cards are obviously hiding a trap, and since I don't know which one is why I'll just end my move with one more facedown." Carly said.

Jack life points 4000 speed counters 3 Carly life points 4000 speed counters 3: "My turn, and I start by sacrificing my Mad Archfiend for my Vice Dragon, and I play him in defense mode." Jack said. "With his 2400 defense points even when your monster levels up I'll still be strong enough to survive your attack."

"Impressive, but are you sure it'll be enough?" Carly asked.

"Your monster gains 400 attack points per level, and since it will grow to level six on your next turn that means 2400 attack points, the exact same as my defense points." Jack said confidently.

"Well, if you're so sure, I take it you'll be ending your turn?" Carly asked calmly.

"I suppose so." Jack said.

Jack life points 4000 speed counters 4 Carly life points 4000 speed counters 4: "Alright, it's my move, and like you said my Fortune Lady Dark gains one level and 400 attack points, but now I have another little trick, I play a facedown speed spell, Time Passage, now for the rest of the turn my Fortune Lady Dark gains three levels, in other words it's level nine and has 3600 attack points." Carly said.

"Wait, did you say 3600?" Jack asked.

"I sure did, and now I'll attack your Vice Dragon." Carly said.

(Jack and Carly have started a shadow duel, and so far neither of them have managed a solid hit. Next chapter the duel will continue, and three cards will enter the battle. As always any reviews or critique is appreciated.)
