Jack LP 1300 speed counters 7
"Jack these attacks are real." Yusei stated.
'Just like when I duel.' Akisa thought.
"That's right pal. Now you're gonna learn what it's like to duel with more than just your life points on the line." Jack replied.
"I don't know if that's true, but I plan to defending myself, and taking you down. I activate my trap, Cross Line Counter. This means I can take the damage I just took, double it, and add it to my dragons attack points." Yusei explained.
"Then what are you waiting for?" Jack said.
"Stardust Dragon let's not keep him waiting any longer." Yusei replied. Jack yelled as his life points went down to 800. "Jack." Yusei called out of worry.
"Don't worry about me, you should be more concerned about yourself. I play the speed spell, over boost, it gives four extra speed counter. Meaing I can now play the speed spell, End of Storm." Jack stated. "This destroys all monsters on the field, and hits us for 500 life points for each monster we control, which is enough to put an end to you."
"Not with the effect Stardust Dragon, I tribute it to stop your card." Yusei replied.
"And that's your down fall, you now wide open for one of my favourite traps, the Sneak Exploder. In your next standby phase, you lose 500 life points for every monster on my field, making this duel mine." Jack explained.
"Then I better keep this round going, first I get my Stardust Dragon back. Then I play my trap, Meteor Stream. This lets me hit you for a 1000 life points since I brought a monster back from the graveyard." Yusei explained.
"Don't think you've won Yusei, I play a trap, Crimson Fire. Not only does it stop your traps effect, it boomerang's it right back to you with double the damage." Jack explained.
"I'm not done yet Jack, I've still got one more facedown, the trap card, Shining silver force. It stops your comeback and destroy all the spells and traps on your field." Yusei stated. Jack growled.
Yusei LP 400 speed counters 8
Jack LP 800 speed counters 8
"Time to get us home." Yusei said as he drew his card.
"I play the speed spell final attack. Since I have 8 speed counters, the original attack points of my stardust dragon are doubled." Yusei stated. Stardust dragons attack points went up to 5000. 'With that kind of power, my monster can't stand up to it.'
"I don't want to hurt you Jack, but if ending this duel is the only way to get us home, then that's what I'll do. Stardust Dragon, attack!" Yusei ordered. Jack's life points went down to 0.
Both duelist skidded on the track of the stadium. Jack came off his runner, Yusei also nearly lost it. He sat there for several minuets trying to get his breath back. Akisa, Marco, Luna, Leo and all the other found them selves back where they were before the Crimson dragon appeared. 'Holy s***. Talk about a nightmare.' Marco thought as he forced his eyes open. Then he saw that the lounge had been ripped to shreads with a huge hole in the roof. "What the hell?" Marco said. Pippa lay motionless on the ground. The last thing she saw was a blue sky, and heard Marco call her name, before everything went black.
"What the heck happened?" Leo asked.
"I don't know." Luna replied, feeling very scared.
"Whoa!" Leo shouted.
"What?" Luna jumped.
"That all really happened." Leo said.
"How can you be so sure?" Luna replied.
"Look at Jack's score." Leo said. Sure enough, Jack's score was at 0.
"Ladies and Gentlemen, we are experiencing some technical difficulties. Just give us a few miuntes while we try and sort this out." The Narrator said. "Will someone please tell me what just happened."
"Jack, are you ok!" Yusei shouted running up to Jack, who was laying on the track. He was more battered and bruised than Yusei.
"You beat me Yusei, I don't know how, but you beat me, you're the champion now." Jack said,
"If that vision was true, none of this matter's, we've just got to safe our cities." Yusei said.
"You always want to be a hero, well now's your chance." Jack said with that he passed out. A group of paramedicas came up, and Yusei stood up. "Pippa." He whispered, and ran from the track.
He saw the lounge ripped to shreds. There was rubble all over the place, because of the destroyed ceiling. Pippa lay under the hole, with Marco beside her. "Is she alright?" Yusei shouted, as he ran over.
"I don't know mate." Marco replied. Yusei grasped Pippa's hand.
"Pippa can you hear me?" He asked but got no response from her. Yusei pressed two fingers against her neck, releaved to feel a pulse, then got worried about how fast it was. "Hey can we get some help down here!" Marco shouted. Yusei gently lifted Pippa's head onto his lap. "Come on Pippa." He said, but still got no response from her. 'This is my fault, again. Please Pippa don't go, we're gonna need you. I'm gonna need you.' Yusei thought.
"Goodwins got a habit of leaving blanks." Marco said.
"Meaning?" Yusei asked.
"He didn't tell that she was the dragon mage and a Guardian." Marco replied. Yusei didn't reply. "What do you know about this anyway?" Marco asked.
"Not a lot, but I do know that I'm gonna have a scrap with Goodwin." Yusei replied. A group of paramedics came into the wrecked room. They put Pippa on a stretcher, and carried her out of the room. Yusei and Marco followed them outside, where Jack and Pippa were loaded into an ambulance. As they went back into the stadium to get their runners Marco said. "One thing I did forget to mention."
"What?" Yusei asked, still feeling guilty.
"You got a new opposition." Marco replied.
"Who?" Yusei asked, wishing he would get to the point.
"The media." Marco said. Behind them were swarms of reporters. "Time to kick it, rev it up, and get the hell outta here." Marco said.
"With you on that one." Yusei said, he'd had enough for one day, and didn't fancy being bombarded by news reporters. Marco ran to the garage, and Yusei ran to his runner, both blasted out of the stadium. "Where to?" Marco asked.
"I know a little spot." Yusei replied. He led Marco to tops and to Leo and Luna's apartment. "Yusei!" Luna and Leo shouted at the same time. "Yusei what the heck happened there. One minuet you were duelling, then the Crimson Dragon appeared, then you vanished. Then you appeared again." Yanagi said.
"To be honest I'm not sure what happened." Yusei replied. Luna could tell by the way Yusei's voice sounded that something was wrong.
"Yusei what wrong? And where's Pippa?" Luna asked.
"A hospital." Yusei answered. Leo and Luna gasped.
"Is she ok?" Luna asked. Yusei didn't reply. "Yusei, is she ok?" Luna asked.
"I don't know, you guys know what this does to her." Yusei said. He sighed. "Marco do you have any idea hospital they might have taken her to?" Yusei asked.
"My guess would be New Domino South, it's about 10 blocks east from the stadium." Marco replied. Yusei headed for the door.
"Where are you going?" Yanagi asked.
"I'm gonna see Pippa." Yusei replied.
"Well I'm coming with you." Leo stated, running up to him
"No Leo." Yusei replied. Leo stood in front of Yusei
"Look Yusei you're not sticking me here this time. I'm worried about Pippa too, so I'm coming whether you like it or lump it." Leo stated.
"Sorry to say this Yusei, but I'm with Leo, I want to come too." Luna said.
"You're pretty out numbered mate, I wouldn't mind checking in on her and Atlas." Marco said. Yusei sighed.
"Yanagi, go to Blister's hideout, we'll meet you there. I doubt Goodwin or anyone would guess that we were there, here's too obverses." Yusei said.
Yusei took Luna on his runner on the ride to the hospital, and Marco took Leo. But when they got there, the main entrance was swarmed with reporters and cameramen. "How are we gonna get in there now?" Leo asked. Yusei turned his runner.
"There's gotta be more than one door." Yusei said. There was a parking lot around the back of the hospital, and another door. Once they'd parked. They headed inside. There were no reporters at this door so they were able to get in easily, the nurse at the desk told them which room Pippa was in.
Once there, they saw a sign on the door saying 'no visitors'. "Now what?" Luna asked.
"We'll watch, just be quick Yusei." Leo said.
"Leo no ones allowed in there." Luna pointed out.
"Relax I'll be quick." Yusei said. As he opened the door slowly. Luna sighed and went down to the end of the corridor to check that no one came that way and Leo watched the other end. The room was empty apart from Pippa on the bed. An oxygen mask over her face, and a heart monitor going at a normal rate. Yusei pushed a lock of hair out of her face. He put a hand in his pocket and pulled out a small light blue box. There was a clip board on the bed side table with a blank piece of paper as the last page with a pen attached to the board. Yusei took the paper jotted something down on it and placed it under the box. He leaned forward and lightly kissed her cheek before leaving. "Let's go." Yusei said. Then noticed Marco was missing. "Where'd Marco go?" Yusei asked.
"He said he was gonna check on Jack, he said he'd meet us in the parking lot." Leo replied.
"Ok, we'll wait there. Let's go we're not meant to be here." Yusei stated.
"So is Pippa ok?" Luna asked.
"She's doing fine." Yusei replied. Luna could tell he was upset but felt it wouldn't be good if she pestered him so she took his word for it, but there was one more thing she wanted to know about. "Yusei, I don't know how, but me and Leo were able to see into that light." Luna said.
"Yeah, Marco, Akisa, and these couple of other guys we didn't know were there too." Leo said.
"Did you see what they looked like?" Yusei asked, he figured they must be the remaining signers and guardians.
"No, we were behind them." Leo replied.
"What we saw happening to the satellite, that was the future wasn't it." Luna said.
"I don't know, but if it is, we've gotta stop it from happening." Yusei said.
