Hi everyone! Rosestar48 here. Today we'll learn about Crow's past and about a promise he made to an old friend.
Keeping a Promise
It's had been a couple of weeks since the incident at the Public Security Maintenance Bureau and the Motomiya's, Hikari and the Digimon were having breakfast. "The children?" Hikari asked. "Yes, Yusei, Jack, Crow and their digimons are going to Martha's to see the kids and they having invited us to come with them" Daisuke explains. "So what do you think? Want to come with us?" Veemon asked. "Sure! It's would be good to see them again! Right, Gatomon?" Hikari said. "Yeah" Gatomon agrees. "Well then I'll call Yusei and tell him that we'll be coming" Daisuke said.
Later in the day at Martha's, everyone was playing with the children, expect for Crow and Falcomon, who were looking at a picture. "Crow" Yusei said when he notices Crow was looking at the picture. Daisuke also looks at Crow "What's up?" She wonders. "Pearson?" Yusei asked as he picks up the picture of a card on it. "Yeah, he's a friend who entrusted me with Blackbird and died" Crow explains. "Entrusted?" Daisuke asked. "That happened before Kiryu was arrested" Crow starts to tell them.
(Flashback)
It was raining that day in the Satellite "I lost my goal and was wondering around meaninglessly. Then one day..." Crow explains. In his old hideout, the Young Crow was looking outside, while three kids were playing with their cards when the sound of a vehicle caught their attention. A man tumble down on the ground outside Crow's hideout "Dad!" one of the kids calls out as he runs to him and Crow follows him. "Like always, we were stuck in Satellite..." Crow narrate as the boy snakes his dad, and two thugs were smirking at them. "Of course, we already took out the cost of bring him here" The first said as he threw some money, and he and his partner laughed. "Don't screw with me!" the young Crow yell and charges toward them. But the second thug whacks Crow with his umbrella and then kicks him "Crow!" the kids yells. "Don't get full of yourself, you Satellite scum!" the second thug said. "Let's go" the first thug said. "Yeah" the second thug agrees as he opened the door to the van. Then two lights and the sound of two D-Wheels caught their attention. One of them was Person who originally owned Blackbird. "Who is...that guy?" Crow wonders. Then the two D-Wheel stopped in front of Crow and the Kids. "You want to fight us too?" the first thug asked as the Pearson takes of his helmet. "Alright, then let's settle this with a duel!" The Second thug states as he went to get two Duel Disk from the van.
A little while later Purple lighting strike "Hail the Iron Hammer, attack directly!" the Second D-wheeler declares. "Trap activates! Shadow Dance!" Person exclaimed. Person controlled Blackwing - Bora the Spear. Gale the Whirlwind, Fane the Steel Chain, Shura the Blue Flame and Sirocco the Dawn in Attack Position. "A…amazing!" One of the kid said. "Synchro Summon! Black-Winged Dragon!" Pearson said and attacked the two thugs. (Opponents' LP: 0x2). "Damn it! We won't forget about this!" the first thug yells as he and his partner runs away. "That was how I meet Pearson. Pearson took care of children in Satellite like I did, but…" Crow explains.
The scene changes to an old abandon warehouse "He worked to allow children to realize their full potential. I believe this too. I helped Pearson's research. Pearson gave me the hope to live on again. I enjoyed helping Pearson's research, an engine with Satellite parts that would shock the people in the city" Crow explains as he remember helping out Pearson.
"But...that day..." Crow said as the scene changes to Crow running to the warehouse, which was on fire. "What is this?" Crow wonder as he enters the warehouse. Crow the notice Pearson trapped under some rubble "Pearson! Wait! I'll save you!" Crow said, but the fire was too intense. "Crow, is it? The children...I'll leave it to you..." Pearson weekly tells Crow and he passed away. "Pearson! Pearson!"Crow yells out as the building was burning down.
(Flashback ends)
"After losing Person, I was only able to keep the children happy with stolen cards" Crow explains as he remember running from Security. "Bolger is great, by carrying Pearson's will, he stands up and bring the D-Wheel to isolated Satellite...In the end, the sins that I've been doing up until now might have just been useless things...I wasn't able to carry on Pearson's will...!" Crow exclaimed. "That's not true. You already are carrying Pearson's will" Yusei said. "Yusei's right" Daisuke agrees. "I am?" Crow asked.
The four of them turned to where the kids were "Crow! Falcomon! What have you towo been doing?" A Ginga asked. "Crow, Falcomon, hurry up and come here!" another boy yells. "Crow! Falcomon!" Kokoro calls out. "Look at those kid's faces. You're the one who gave those faces of hope, Crow" Yusei explains. "Pearson would have been proud" Daisuke said. "They're right, Crow!" Falcomon said. Crow looke confused "Don't blame yourself. If you think you're doing the right thing, then follow that path!" Yusei tells Crow. "Listen to your own heart!" Daisuke said. "Yusei...Daisuke..." Crow whispers and got a serious look.
Later everyone minus Hikari and Gatomon, who Daisuke took back to her house, was back at Poppo Times "What? He's settling it?" Jack asked. Yusei and Daisuke nods as Bruno and Crow works on the Blackbird. "But...he didn't receive Black-Winged Dragon from that man, right?" Jack asked. "Yeah. But this is Crow's way of answering" Yusei replies as they looked at Crow who wipes the sweat of his forehead. "Alright! Then I'll lend him a hand, too" Jack said as he went to help.
The next day Yusei, Jack, Daisuke, Bruno, Veemon, Goamon and Dorumon were in the control room looking over the race course, while Crow, Falcomon and Bolger were on it. "Are you really fine with this?" Bolger asked. "Of course, I'll carry out Pearson's will my own way" Crow replied. "Fine. Let's settle this, Crow!" Bolger said and put on his helmet and both he and Crow lowered their visors. "Speed Word 2, Set!" both D-Wheels declared and the countdown appeared and started counting down. "Riding Duel..." Bolger starts. "Acceleration!" Crow and Bolger cries out as they took off. Bolger's D-Wheel then speeds up thanks to the boosters. Crow gasped as Bolger took the lead. "What's with that acceleration speed?!" Jack wonders.
"As expected of the top D-Wheel!" Crow exclaimed as he also accelerated and caught up with Bolger. Bolger made the turn first followed by Crow and Falcomon. "I've crossed the corner first. I'll go first" Bolger stated.
"It's my turn!" Bolger declares. "I summon White Warrior - Fog the Treasure Shield in Defense Position (DEF: 2000). I set two cards face down and end my turn" Bolger said.
"2000 Defense Points!" Crow exclaimed. "It's my turn!" Crow declares (Bolger SPC: 1/ Crow's SPC:1), but then something came swooping above him "What the-?!" Crow yells and looks up to see a large mechanical bee in the sky. "Who's that?!" Crow asked. "That'sCannonBeemon! An Android Digimon, be careful of it Nitro Stinger attack, it will give you the shocked of your life!" Falcomon described. "Oh no! Not now!" Crow exclaimed. "Don't worry, I'll deal with him!" Falcomon assured Crow and jumps off. "Falcomon Digivolve to...Peckmon!" Peckmon said and when on the edge of the barrier of the course and starts to attack CannonBeemon. "Where did that Digimon come from?!" Jack wonders. "I don't know, but it's up to Peckmon now" Daisuke said.
"When only my opponent controls monster, I can Normal Summon this card without releasing!" Crow explains. I summon Blackwing - Sirocco the Dawn!" Crow declares (ATK: 2000). "Next, this card can be Special Summoned when there is a Blackwing monster on my field!" Crow explains. "Appear now, Blackwing - Bora the Spear!" Crow calls out (ATK: 1700). "Through Sirocco the Dawn's effect, I can concentrate my Blackwing's power's to Bora the Spear!" Crow explains (Bora the Spear's ATK: 3700). "Good! He surpassed the opponent's 2000 Defense Points!" Jack said.
"You're too naive, Crow!" Bolger said. "I activate the Continuous Trap! Whiteout!" Bolger counters. "Whiteout negates all of my opponent's monster card effect!" Bolger explains (Bora the Spear's ATK: 1700). Crow gasped in shock "Individually, they're monsters that aren't too formidable, but companions call out each other, and they gather their strength. Those bonds are the Blackwing deck's specialty! In that case, I'll sever those bonds!" Bolger declares.
"Now your Blackwings are isolated as long as Whiteout is activated, Blackwings can't rely on their companion's strength, or lend out their own strength to their companions!" Bolger tells Crow. "This is bad! At this rate, Crow will..." Yusei said. "I end my turn" Crow said.
"It's my turn!" Bolger said (Bolger SPC: 2/ Crow's SPC:2). I summon White Warrior - Hail the Iron Hammer (ATK: 1800). Next, Continuous Trap, open! Sacred Arrow!" Bolger said. "In the End Phase, both players take 400 points of damage for each of their monster that was destroyed" Bolger explains. "400 points of damage for each destroyed monster?!" Crow yells. "Hail the Iron Hammer, attack Bora the Spear! Hammer Attack!" Bolger orders, and Hail the Iron Hammer destroyed Bora the Spear (Crow's LP: 3900). "Next, when Hail the Iron Hammer destroy an opponent's monster by battle, it destroys one monster on the opponent's field!" Bolger explains as Sirocco the Dawn was destroyed. Crow gasped "And along with the end of my turn, I'll have you take the effect of Sacred Arrow" Bolger said, and two arrows came down on Crow (Crow's LP: 3100). "Crow!" Jack yells out. "He used Whiteout to sever the bonds between monsters, and inflict damage with Sacred Arrow. This is an Anti-Blackwing deck!" Yusei thinks.
"Come on, Crow! Your turn is next!" Bolger tells Crow.
