Jason: "Now, let's get up to speed with YuGiOh 5D's!: After that rough ride Yusei and I took last night, I woke up in some wealthy residential are known as the Tops. There I met Katherine Cheshire, a peculiar hyperactive girl with a feline complex. And when she decided from out of the blue she wants to duel me, how could I say no? Although she had me in a tight corner with those Neko monsters of hers, I managed to pull out a win. Later that night, during another Sector Security run-in, this short guy who works for Goodwin named Lazar appeared and forced me and Yusei to participate in the Fortune Cup. If we don't, our friends from The Satellite would pay for what we done. Don't you think there's much more to Goodwin than meets the eye? Let's hop on, rev it up, and find out!"
Without a trace of memory, Jason Issac Hutchins awakens in the back of a ghetto alleyway. This slum is home to bums and criminals who, exiled from the city, bear an inscription called a 'marker' on their faces.
It is there he notices a duel disk attached to his left arm, indicating that he is, in fact a duelist! In days ahead, what kind of destiny awaits him on...

Ride 18: Blazing Lockdown
Part 1: Fortune Cup Prologue
A while later after that last confrontation, Yusei knew that he and Jason needed the place to stay during the Fortune Cup; and Blister knew just the place. So the four of them walked down the dark streets of the Damon area. They kept going until they came to a steel garage door.
"This is the place," Blister slid the door up and turned on the lights. It was a dingy looking room, the only furniture being a battered sofa and a table. It was certainly Blister's garage, "You'll be safe until the Fortune Cup."
"Not quite five-star, but it's got all the creature comforts you would expect from this part of town," Persian commented, "You know; cockroaches, mice, stray cats…"
"Thanks," Yusei said, "…I think."
"I decorated the place myself," Blister replied sarcastically, "Besides, if it weren't for you, I'd still think my best friend hates me. This is the least I could do. Now you guys get some rest. You still haven't recovered from that fall you took. And if you're dueling and winning that Fortune Cup, you'll both need a clear head."
""I'll rest, Blister, when my friends are safe," Yusei replied.
"I hear you, Yusei, but you're no good to anyone if you don't have all your strength."
"Don't worry, I heal real quick," Yusei stepped out of the garage, and looked up to the Security Maintenance Bureau building, 'And I'm gonna show Goodwin just how good I feel.'
Sunrise…
He's gone! No! No! No, no, NO, NO, NO!" In a well-furnished apartment on top of the Tops building, a boy in blue pajamas and aqua-green hair rushed back and forth through the living room. He was dashing around, desperately trying to find something.
"Did the Tooth Fairy forget you again?" a girl yawned, walking into the room wearing matching pink pajamas and a sleeping cap. She had the same hair as her brother's. you could tell they were twins.
"Luna! He took his runner and left!" Leo yelled.
"Well, did he leave a note or something?" Luna asked, looking around.
"No!" Leo went running every which-away around the living room, "This is your fault! You should have been nicer! He was gonna teach me to be the best duelist ever!"
"Will you calm down? Look at these," Luna spotted a pair of duel disks: one blue and one pink; and they were surrounded by a few spare parts scattered around the table. She picked up the pink one, presumably hers.
"What did he do to them?" Leo walked over and picked up his own disk, sliding it onto his arm. "Hey, it fits now! So how does it look, Luna?"
"Pretty good. Now I just wish we know who he is so we can thank him."
"Well, it's his own fault for not telling us who he is. He had amnesia and we helped him. If he wanted to thank us, he wouldn't bail on us."
"I guess so… but why no goodbye? Maybe he wanders the streets and helps out struggling duelists. He's like a knight-in-shining-armor, but with a deck!"
"A knight? Sounds more like a superhero. And his name's, some big secret!"
Suddenly, there was a beep from the video screen behind him and he turned to face it as it flickered into life, displaying the image of a brown-haired boy wearing square glasses and a red bowtie, "What up, my main man?"
"Dexter!" Leo greeted, "Guess what, some guy- -"
"Pause! There's no time for that! I got us a lead!"
"A lead?"
"Duh, the Black Rose!"
"C'mon, Dexter. The Black Rose's just some urban legend."
"You miss me, Dexter?" Luna asked sweetly.
"Uh, no. listen, the Black Rose is no legend. She's the greatest duelist ever. Her cards come alive. And I rebuilt my deck to take her on."
"So where is she, Dexter?"
"I was reading some blogs earlier this morning, and check this out: there's a rumor going around she's gonna pop up at the street-duels today!"
"Then let's go!" Leo flashed his duel disk.
"Leo, how come your duel disk isn't falling off?"
"Right! See, this superhero stopped by and…"
"He's not a superhero, Dexter, he's a knight," Luna interrupted.
"What are you two talking about? Who fixed up your duel disk?"
"Right, so this guy's duel runner is red and- -"
"Uh, Leo," Luna whispered, huddling in front of Leo, out of Dexter's view, "Until we know more about this guy, I think we should keep quiet."
"…ok, good point."
"Hey, what's going on?"
""Uh, nothing; we were just discussing about how much we love your new bowtie! Listen, we gotta go now. See ya," Luna switched off the video screen, "Listen, Leo, this is our secret."
Luna's twin brother nodded… before saying, "Luna, do you think Mr. Amnesia-Man flies, or has a jet pack?"
Later…
Yusei was working on his Duel Runner at Blister's garage. Music was playing from the laptop he had set out on the table and connected to his Runner while he repaired it. Persian then walked inside.
"Hey Yusei, have you seen Jason around anywhere?"
"He said he was getting some supplies for some science project, the one we have to do for Fisher," Yusei answered.
"So, on an unrelated note," Blister started, "what exactly did that purple-haired freak say about you and Jason dueling in the Fortune Cup?"
Yusei paused for a moment, not wanting to answer.
"Well?"
"…it's not what he said, but what he showed us," Yusei pulled the envelope he recieved from his jacket and handed it to him. When Blister opened it, he saw the invitation, and a picture of Yusei's friends.
"So these are you friends, huh?"
"Yeah, and if we don't show up, Goodwin said they'd pay the price."
"Sounds like something Goodwin would do," Persian said, "If it's not a bribe, it's a threat. So, are your friends in the Satellite?"
"…they are."
"Oh man," Blister took another glance at the photograph, before coming up with an idea, "Look, I'm gonna help you out. I'm gonna go check on them, and make sure they're safe."
"You can get to the Satellite?"
"I can get anywhere," Blister said as he began to show his was out, "Now don't worry, you'll be reunited with your buds in no time."
'That's if Goodwin ever let's me see them again,' Yusei thought.
Meanwhile…
Speaking of Jason, instead of going the hardware store, he was actually back at the Cheshire residents at the Tops. He figured he would get help from someone who has and invite sooner than he and Yusei did.
"So you got an invitation too!" Katherine chirped when she saw Jason's invitation, "Yay-yatta! I get to duel you in the tournament!" Jason also realized that Kat changed wardrobes; instead of a sailor outfif and cat-eats, today she's wearing a pink shirt, jean overalls, and a pair of long rabbit ears.
"It's not like I have a choice, Kat," Jason said sternly, "That short guy Lazar told me and Yusei that if we don't show up, my friends in the Satellite will get hurt. And what's worst is that I can't use any Genex cards during the Fortune Cup."
"Genex monsters?"
"The duel monsters I have in my deck. I found these when I woke up in the Satellite," Jason took out his Genex deck and gave them to Katherine to look at.
"I can't believe Goodwin would do this," Gabriella said worriedly, "Are you sure you didn't do something to get him upset?"
"Nope, but he seems to know me more than I know myself at the moment; like the time he gave me an offer to work as some guinea pig for an experiment. It must be connected to that mark I had on my arm that night at the Kaibadome, and I don't think he'll stop until he has it."
"This is bad…" Gabriella stared into space before coming up with an answer, "Alright, we're gonna help you."
"Huh?"
"I know a place where we can get you some new cards for the Fortune Cup. It's the place where I work and where I bring Kat over to play. I'm sure it would be ok with my boss."
"Wow, that's great!"
"Also, the highway's closed for the day for turbo duelists to practice on. So if you're going to turbo-duel at the Fortune Cup, that's where we'll go afterwards."
"That's fantastic! I, uh, don't know what to say!"
"Well, we'll call it even, if you could be Kat's playmate for the day."
"Then it's a done deal!"
"Meow-wow!" Katherine bounced up and down ecstatically, "We're gonna have so much fun today! N-E-K-O, that spells fun!"
Meanwhile…
The scene changed to another tall building in the Tops residence, where Goodwin was looking out the window, looking at the entire of New Domino, "So how is your training coming for the Fortune Cup?"
"If you mean sitting on the couch, just great," sitting on a white angled couch are the self-proclaimed Master-of-Faster, Jack Atlas, and the CEO of KaibaCorp, Isis Kaiba. Secretary Mina Simmington was pouring them each a cup of tea.
"Well, you want might want to change your attitude Jack," Goodwin turned and walked toward him, "I've invited a couple of additional contestants this year; someone you know."
"Who?"
"Your friends from the Satellite, Yusei Fudo and Jason Hutchins."
Isis descended from her silent meditation as she heard Jason's name come out. Jack was interested as well, "Yusei'll be there? …I like."
"I'm glad. I hope that would motivate you. Well, I should let you two get back to your, er, training regiment. I'll show myself out," Goodwin walked to the exit, "And Jack, make sure you win this time, ok?" that was all he said before he closed the door behind him, leaving the remaining three people to themselves.
"Do you have any idea what this means, Mina?"
"Um…"
"I can finally take on Yusei again," Jack picked up the china cup with his tea in it.
"And that's a good thing, isn't it?"
"It's so much more than that; it's a chance."
"A chance for what, Mr. Atlas?"
Jack looked at his reflection in the tea before taking a sip, and settling it back down on the coffee table, "A chance to redeem myself," he pulled out his dueling deck and took a glace at the Stardust Dragon card he took out of it, "I underestimated Yusei in our last match, but I'll prove to him once and for all that I'm the best."
"What? Like right now?"
"I'm just going to go and even up the playing field so that Yusei definitely shows up. And if I'm right about this…" Jack begins to walk out of the room before stopping to grin at Mina behind him, "The Crimson Dragon, just might show up at the Fortune Cup as well." He continued his way and exited the room. What neither he nor Mina realized is that Isis had left moments after Goodwin did.
Later…
Jason was riding his duel runner to the place where Gabriella said she worked. In front of him was a white van with Gabriel behind the wheel and Kat at the front seat. When they stopped and parked on a vacant parking lot, they see a two-story building right next to it. The sign on the front shows a face-down Duel Monster card and in front of it in big bold yellow said 'New Domino City Youth Center' and a green circle surrounding the sign in small violet letters said 'Recreation Center-Card Shop-Café-Gym-Juice Bar'.
When they entered the main area inside, it looked a whole lot bigger than it is outside. The left side has several large mats with many gym gear, including a balance beam and a rope tied to the celing. The right side contains a counter which carried numerous Duel Monster card lined up on shelves behind a glass window. The very back has a bar which contains many foods and beverages on shelves behind it. And at the very center were tables and chairs where people were chatting and eating their food.
Jason, Gabriella and Katherine walked to the right side where the cards are. There thew saw a man about in his mid-thirties. He was sorta fat(not 'fat' actually, just big boned); he wore blue shorts and shirt over a bright-orange vest. He has a mat of curly blue hair. ha was carrying a few boxes when he saw the company approach. "Hey, Gabriel; hey, Neko," the man greeted as he put the boxes down, "And here I thought you were staying home at the Tops all week for vacation. How can I help you?"
"Hi, we just stopped by for a little shopping," Gabriella pointed to Jason, "You see, my friend here has been invited to the Fortune Cup. And we need some new cards to help him get ready."
"Sure thing. I'll just call on Ryan and-" But when the guy took a first glance, he stated to have second thoughts. "Uh, Gabe, mind if i talk to you for a moment?" Gabriella understood and walked up close to him so they had thier backs turned as he whispered, "Listen, I've know you and your sister for a long time, but... do you think that guy can be trusted? Just look at that marker on his face."
"I know that, but he's not like some harden criminal or anything," Gabriella whispered back, "That guy was hurt last night and we helped him. And he was so nice to up in return. He even agreed to play with Kat today. Just trust me and give him a chance."
"...well, I guess you've never steered anyone wrong before..." the man sighed and approached Jason giving hin his hand, "I guess I should welcome you to the Youth Center, Mr... uh..."
"Jason," Jason toook the man's hand and shook it, "My names Jason Hutchins."
"Well, welcome to the Youth Center, Jason Hutchins. The shifty-looking fella over there is Tyler; he works over at the card shop," the man pointed to someone in a black jacket with its hood covering his eyes, slouching over from behind the counter, "In an unrelated note, he doesn't usually take off that hood of his. Anyway, the blonde over there, his name is Ryan," he teaches martial arts," then he pointed to another man, in his late teens, wearing a white robe instructing his younger students about something called karate, "And i'm Bernie; I work over at the bar."
"Well, hi, Bernie. Excuse me, but do you have any new cards here?"
"Of course! It is what you came for, right?" Bernie led the company to the shop where Tyler was, "Yo Tyler, how about bringing out the new stuff?" without saying a word, the person named Tyler reached under the counter and took out a couple of booster boxes. One was green and had bright-green circuits running around it. It was titled, 'The Duelist Genesis'. The other had the same design, except that one was yellow with cream-colored circuits. That box titled, 'Crossroads of Chaos'. And finally, the last box was crimson red and had flame patterns spread across it. It was named 'Crimson Crisis'. He decided to buy five of each booster, including one he saw on the window display. When Gabriella paid for it all, they decided they would sit down at the dining area for lunch.
"Jason! Jason, is that you?"
Jason looked towards the source of the voice and found out who it was who called him. He has brown hair covering his left eye, and wears a brown hooded vest. It was Rico Burst. "Hey, Rico! What are you doing here?"
"This is where I usually go when i'm away from the Arcadia Movement. I come here to hang out and stuff. What are you doing here?"
Jason took out the envelope and showed Rico his invitation, "I got invited to the Fortune Cup, so i'm getting some new cards to get ready."
"Really?" Rico took out an envelope and pulled out a card similar to Jason's, "I got an invitation too!"
"Hey! So did I!" And Katherine showed hers.
"I guess we got three contestants here so far," Gabriella said, "I just wonder how many are going to be at the Fortune Cup?"
"Who cares? The more, the merrier!" Katherine bounced.
"More duelist can only mean a bigger chance to get along with everyone in New Domino City," Jason added.
"Right! And while the day is still early, let's chow down to celebrate!" Rico insisted.
Everyone: "Yeah!"
Meanwhile...
Going fast, makes me feel alive;
My heart beats, in hyperdrive.
"Stop here," a taxicab stopped at Blister's garage where Yusei was staying.
Do you think you can win, only if i lose;
Just let the destiny choose.
"Ow, my back," another voice groaned, two figures stepped out of the car as the cab drove away. it was none other than Bolt Tanner and Tenzen Yanagi.
Yusei was working on his Duel Runner at Blister's garage. Music was playing from the laptop he had set out on the table and connected to his Runner while he repaired it...
I can feel you breathing;
I can see you coming;
I can feel the wind, it's blowing, me around...
...and when Blister led Yanagi and Tanner into the garage, Yusei tested the thruster which made a large roar that echoed throughout the room, forcing everyone else to cover thier ears, "Agh! Turn that off!"
"I can't hear you!"
"Yusei!" Yanagi went into Yusei's view, "Hey, Yusei! It's me, Yanagi!" When he saw the old man, he turned off the engine and the music.
"Nice place," Tanner greeted.
"You're out?"
"And it's all thanks to you," Blister said.
"When you and Jason out-dueled Chief Armstrong, we didn't just get early release, we got way-early release," Yanagi said, "So we headed right over to this... this interesting-"
"This place is a dump!" Tanner retorted, "Why don't you throw in a throw-rug and work some fung-suey in here?"
"Tanner, you said you'd be nice!"
"That was nice. I'm liking the duel runner, though," Tanner admired Yusei's runner, "Twin exhaust, turbo rotor, holo-display, and your own deck. Betcha wish you had that back at The Facility," he told Yusei, "Whada you say you let me take her for a ride and see what she's got? I'll bring it right back with a full charge, and not one scratch."
"Yeah right," Yanagi teased, "you mean with your last runner?"
"How 'bout we duel?" Tanner took out his deck, "I win, and i take her for a spin, ok?"
"Sounds good to me," Yusei said with a smile, tapping a control on his Runner. The Duel Disk detached and Yusei attached it to his gauntlet. "Let's Duel."
'Ah, I gotta see this!' Yanagi thought in admiration.
Later...
Jason and company(along with Rico Burst, who decided to come along to watch Jason practice) arrived at the center plaza get ready for practice. They went to the gate where someone was guarding it. He has shoulder-length dark-blonde hair and wears a gray stuffed-collar suit.
"Sorry, the highway is closed for duel runner practice."
"Don't worry," Jason said, "That's what I'm here for."
"Oh, You're in the Cup, too? But wait..." the guard looked hard on the mark above Jason's right eye, "You have a marker..."
"Don't worry, Giado," Gabriella came into view, "He's with me."
"Gabriella, you're with him?"
"Yes, we just came to watch him practice."
"..." Giado thought for a moment, then looked back at Jason, "You do realize you can't enter the highway without an invite, don't you?" Jason gave his invitation to the guard, who thoroughly inspected it, then gave it back to him, "Well, alright then. Forgive me for the delay. Allow me to explain the rules: this practice is functioned as a race, which I shall be the judge of. In this race, you ride on the highway and try to reach the goal within the time limit given. Necessary skills for handling a duel runner as a turbo duelist will be tested here. If you lose the race, there's no penalty, so you don't have to worry about that. So, are you ready?"
"Yeah... I guess so."
"Very good. Let us go to the highway. All non-contestants, however, must stay here."
"Awwww," Rico and Katherine moaned.
"Don't worry guys," Jason knelt over to the two youth, "Just stay here and wait until I come back, OK?"
"...OK," they both groaned.
Later...
"Meow-wow! I just knew you can do it, Jason!" Katherine cheered as she was greeted by Jason at the front gate.
"Who would've known you would have the top score among all the others," Gabriella wondered aloud.
When the company was reunited, Giado stood by the gate again. "You did quite well," he said, "Well then, allow me to say, congratulation."
"Gee, thanks," Jason said sheepishly.
"However, there are many other talented racers among the participants. You will have to do your best if you don't want to be left in the dust. I shall report the results of the practice to the head office. So, do you want to have another practice, or will you leave?"
"So what do you want to do," Gabriella asked Jason.
"...go home, I guess."
"I guess that's a good idea. You should go get some rest for the tournament tomorrow," and with that, they all took their leave. They were almost to the van when...
"Hey-hey, baby!" they heard a voice coming from somewhere near the benches. There they saw a man about the same age as Jason. He wore a red jacket with black padding on the shoulders and elbows over a black shirt. He also had black knee-pads on his jeans and wore dark-grey boots. His hair was fiery-red with yellow bangs. "I saw you at practice. You were like a lightning bolt back there!"
Jason and co. walked towards the person, "You saw that?" Jason asked.
"Yeah! I was talking to that judge over there. But, uh, you really thinking about running in that Fortune Cup?"
"Um, yeah!"
The man reach into his jacket and pulled out something Jason has already: a Fortune Cup invitation, "Welcome to the club! This came by the mail sometime last week! I was preparing for it ever since! What say we go for a little turbo duel, you versus me?"
"You and me, turbo duel?" Jason wondered aloud.
"Oh you have to do it!" Katherine chirped as she tugged Jason's jean jacket.
"I think that's just perfect," Gabriella agreed, "A duel against another competitor will help you lots in tomorrow's contest."
"You think I can really do this?"
"Sure you can," Rico said, "Don't you remembered a few day ago when you beat me with only a structure deck? You have the skills, Jason. You can do it!"
Hearing Rico's words suddenly filled Jason's heart with determination. He was right, Jason does have the skills. So he decided to go with the flow, "Alright, where should we meet?"
"Right here, right now!" the man said, "We're dueling at the highway!"
A few moments later, Jason and the mysterious person met at the highway for their match. The person's duel runner was the same frame as Jason's, except his was bright-orange with red highlights, with side armor on either side, and large boosters on the rear. His riding suit was red also, and has black padding on it as well. His helmet has a frame shaped like a red dragon, with blue eyes on it, and a dark-blue visor.
"I'll get this piece started, with the Speed World field spell!" he pressed a button on his console and the familiar neon aura came to life across the highway.
(A/N: as you readers have found out in our last chapter, Jason has recieved a strange device before he left the Tops residence. I've decided to call it a 'Duel Transer'. It has many functions in it, but i'll just show you one of them for now.)
Meanwhile, Gabriella, Katherine, and Rico are about to witnessed Jason's duel on his 'Duel Transer' they borrowed for the moment.
'Now let's see how he does in a turbo duel,' Gabriella thought.
"Let's Duel!" Both riders stepped thier accelerators and raced across the highway.
Jason: 4000
Man: 4000
"I'll take the first move," the man started his turn.
Jason: 4000 (1)
Man: 4000 (1)
"And I think i'll start by special-summoning (1) Gilasaurus(1400/400) from my hand!" a blue portal opened up releasing a brown ravinous raptor dashing as fast as its long legs could take it, "Next, I'll summon another monster from my hand, namely my (2) Hand of Nephthys(600/600)!" another monster appeared: it was a woman in a flaming cape, golden armor, and a matching hawk headdress, "Now by releasing my two monsters, I can use my Hand of Nephthys' special ability to special-summon the (3) Sacred Phoenix of Nephthys(2400/1600) from my very deck!" after the two monsters converted into energy, they combined together to form a massive mass of flames. Those flames formed into a giant pheonix. Its body had a feminine physique, with its wings attached to her thighs, "I'll throw down two face-downs and end my turn at that."
Rico: "Incredible! He summoned a Level-7 monster on his very first turn! Let's see Jason stand up to that Move!" Rico reached into his pocket and took out a bag of lollipops. "Lolis, anyone?"
Everyone took a sucker to pass the time while the watched Jason's duel.
"Alright, then," Jason started his turn, "And since I have two speed counters, I can play the Double Summon speed spell!" he slapped the spell card onto his console, "Next, I summon the tuner monster, Genex Controller!" Jason's robotic tuner appeared beside Jason, "And while he's out on the field, I can summon this guy without releasing a monster as a tribute. So say hello to my Genex Furnace!" In a blaze of fire, the furnace monster appeared next to Controller. "Now, Genex Controller, give Genex Heat a little tune up!" Controller transformed into three synchro-gates as Heat's armor disappeared and transformed into five stars. In the meantime, Jason chanted:
"Divested sparks form a lost soul; become the torch that will light its forgotten path! Synchro Summon! Thermal Genex, Accelerate!"
Jason's updated furnace machine appeared(2400), coming face-to-face with the feminine phoenix, "And while Thermal Genex is out, he gains a power boost of 200 points for every fire-attribute monster in my grave," more flames erupted from Thermal in a rapid pace.
Thermal Genex: (ATK: 2600)
"Now Thermal Genex, fight phoenix-fire with thermal-fire with Thermal Furnace Blaze!" the furnace obeyed as its center window opened up to launch a blast of superheated fire at the phoenix. The phoenix, however, breathed out an array of mystic flames to counter the Furnace's condensed blast. After an intense stalemate, the Furnace was rendered victorious as its flames smothered the pheonix's and the phoenix itself.
Jason: 4000 (2)
Man: 3800 (2)
"And there's more: since Thermal Genex managed to destroy a monster in battle, he'll hit you again with 200 points of damage for each Genex monster in my graveyard. And since I have two..." Thermal fired a duo of fireballs and the mysterious turbo duelist took damage.
Jason: 4000 (2)
Man: 3400 (2)
"Then I'll park a duo of face-downs and call it a turn," two reverse cards appeared next to Jason's duel runner.
"Then it's my move," the man started his turn, "And I thin I'll summon out another Gilasaurus!" another raptor appeared (1400), "And since the monster i summoned was a special-summon, you can bring back a monster from your graveyard to even the playing field!" Jason made the decision and brought back Genex Controller in DEF mode(1200), "Next I release Gilasaurus to advance-summon (4) Horus The Black Flame Dragon Lv6(2300/1600)!" the lizard was enveloped into a milti-colored portal, which welcomed a much bigger monster. The dragon somewhat resembled a metallic hawk. It has large plated wings and strong hind legs.
"And that's not all. Since I got at least two speed counters I can now play the speed spell, Level Up! Now Horus Lv6 is now (5) Horus Lv8(3000/1800)!" the dragon glowed and ascended into a higher level. The dragon's features are now updated, as well as a pair of steel clawed arms, "Horus, now fight thermal-fire with dark-fire with Ominous Fire Blast!" the silver dragon fired his name sake at its target, reducing the furnace into ashes.
Jason: 3600 (3)
Man: 3400 (3)
"And before I forget, I activate the trap Royal Decree! Now and trap that's played will be negated. Also, we can't play any spells either, because Horus negates the power of any spell card."
Rico: "Wow, I never seen a combo like the one I'm seeing!"
Gabriella: "Neither of them can play spells or trap. It's like that guy's locked out 2/3 of Jason's deck."
Katherine: "Jason can get out of this! I just know it!"
Gabriella: "I never thought I'd say this... but I hope so too."
Meanwhile...
Yusei and his company walked out of a side door and into a square yard beside the office building. While Yusei and Tanner stood ready, Yanagi, Blister and Persian stood at the wall.
"So what's your story?" Yanagi asked Blister, "I bet you didn't think I was-"
"Let me guess," Persian intervened, "You're Tenzen Yanagi, who was a famous explorer who hed treked across the globe for the worlds most rarest artifacts," Yanagi was pleased that at least someone knew of his travels.
"Not only that; I also gone around the world collecting the most amazing cards ever made!"
"But Tanner said, um, that your deck's just a joke," Blister said.
"What? He did not! Just see for yourself!" Yanagi took out his deck for Blister to see, "I got Crystal Skull, Ashoka Pillar..."
"Ok, Grandpa," Blister looked back at Yusei and Tanner, 'Where did you get these guys, Yusei? The ex-champ you met in the Facility, he went from foe to friend in one duel...' he looked back at the old man, who was still marveling over his Treasure Deck, 'And then there's old grandpa, and he thinks you're tied to some ancient prophecy about the end of the world. You're one-of-a-kind, that's for sure.'
"...Let's duel!" but before they can throw down, there was a sudden roar of a duel runner engine. Suddenly, Jack Atlas' duel runner swerved into the yard.
Yusei: "Hey, Jack..."
Tanner: "Uh-oh."
No one was expecting to see the King to show up here. Its rider dismounted and pulled off his helmet. The Kings violet glare could pierce even the mightiest of titans. The question ran through everyone's head: Why is Jack here?
