"What happened, the last thing I remember is Luna summoning Ancient Emperor Dragon." Yusei said weakly. "Were you able to beat him?"

"Yeah, and now you and Leo need to work together." Jack said. "Let's get going."

"Jack's right, the sooner we beat this dark signer the better." Akiza said in agreement as the five of them raced off in the direction of the final control tower.

"What's going on, where am I?" Devack asked looking around at the empty white space he was floating in. "How did I get here?"

"The same way we did, you were defeated by the signers fused dragons." Misty said. "Still, there's something I don't understand."

"You and me both Misty." Kalin said floating over to the two of them. "When we were defeated we should have been sent to the Netherworld, but this is obviously something else."

"Now that you mention it I agree, but what kind of place is this?" Devack asked.

"So far neither of us have been able to figure that out, but wherever we are is definitely better than the Netherworld." Misty said thoughtfully.

"Leo, do you have any cards that can destroy the Immortal Cosmic Dragon?" Jack asked quietly.

"I have one, but I've never used it before." Leo said. "I don't know if I'll be able to play it though."

"What do you mean?" Jack asked before Leo showed him a card. "You're sure there's no other way?"

"I can't think of anything else." Leo said. "Well, there is one other way but if I try it we'll lose for sure."

"Then we'll have to hope that card works." Jack said before racing up next to Yusei.

"That should be the perfect strategy, even if they attempt to fuse their dragons against us." Carly said. "Plus we have that card for emergencies."

"True, though if it comes to that you know as well as I do what the consequences will be for us." Roman said.

"Yeah, but we don't have any other choice." Carly said. "If we're defeated then…"

"I know, that's the exact reason we can't afford to lose this duel." Roman said. "No matter the cost we can not allow ourselves to be defeated like the others."

"You're right, I only hope it doesn't come to that." Carly said quietly before duel runners appeared in the distance. "It looks like they're almost here."

"True, the outcome of our duel will be the most important of all." Roman said in agreement.

"What the, why are there two dark signers here?" Leo asked nervously.

"You should be able to figure out that much." Roman said calmly. "Now then, which two of you are going to duel us?"

"I knew it, you two finally decided to duel us in a real tag match instead of one at a time." Jack said.

"Your fused dragons are powerful, but not powerful enough." Carly said calmly.

"We'll see, are you ready Leo?" Yusei asked.

"Of course I am." Leo said confidently as flames in the shape of a spider appeared around the four of them.

"Duel." said Roman, Carly, Leo, and Yusei simultaneously.

"What do you guys think, can they beat them?" Akiza asked.

"They have to, besides you know what'll happen when Stardust Dragon merges with Power Tool Dragon." Jack said.

"Yeah, you're right." Akiza said thoughtfully. "Still I have a bad feeling about this duel."

Suddenly the marks of the Crimson Dragon began to glow as the Crimson Dragon itself appeared above the control tower.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

"Wait, what's the Crimson Dragon doing here?" Carly asked nervously.

"I don't know, but it doesn't change anything. The outcome of this duel will determine everything." Roman said calmly. "Now then, I believe the polite thing is lady's first?"

"Alright, that's fine with us." Yusei said calmly.

Roman/Carly 8000 Yusei/Leo 8000: "In that case I'll start by setting two cards facedown and then I'll summon Fortune Lady Wind in attack mode." Carly said. "That ends my move."

"Then it's my move, so I'll play the magic card Tuning to add Junk Synchron to my hand, then I send the top card of my deck to the graveyard." Yusei said. "Next I summon Shield wing in attack mode."

"Attack mode, what are you thinking Yusei?" Leo asked nervously.

"Trust me Leo, I set three cards facedown and end my turn." Yusei said calmly.

"Which means the duel moves on to me, and since it has Carly's Fortune Lady Wind increases from level three to level four and gains 300 attack points." Roman said. "Of course Fortune Lady Wind won't be staying because I sacrifice her in order to summon my Twin Fang Tarantula in attack mode."

"I play a trap card, Fortune's Return." Carly said quickly. "When a Fortune Lady is sacrificed this card shuffles it back into my deck and let's me add a different Fortune Lady to my hand."

"Now I'll end my turn with a facedown card." Roman said. "Which also triggers Twin Fang Tarantula's ability sending one card from your hand to the graveyard, and I'll use this effect on you Leo."

"Do you two see what I see?" Kalin asked as a faint pink glow appeared in the distance.

"I think so, but what is that thing?" Devack asked.

"I don't know, but there's only one way to find out." Misty said before starting to float towards the pink glow.

"Hold on, are you sure that's the best idea?" Devack asked. "I mean we have no idea what that thing is and for all we know it could be dangerous."

"That's a risk we're going to have to take, after all anything's better than just sitting here for the rest of our lives." Kalin said. "Plus you felt it too didn't you, whatever's over there is definitely calling us."

"He's right, there's definitely something about that light." Misty said in agreement. "Besides, I can't explain why but something is telling me we need to be there."

"Alright, but I hope this isn't a mistake." Devack said as the three of them continued towards the pink glow.

(Yusei and Leo have engaged Roman and Carly in a tag duel, but the fallen dark signers are somehow still alive. Next chapter the duel will continue and Yusei's dragon will reappear. As always any reviews or critique is appreciated.)
