Cut to inside a medical room. Draco is hooked up to several different types of medical machinery. His eyes are shut, and he has several bandages on his face, legs, and arms.
Morgan and Megan, weeping and begging: Draco! Please wake up! Open your eyes!
Ace: C'mon, doc! Don'tcha have somethin' to help the guy?!
Dr. Schneider, a young, yet experienced doctor, taking off his medical mask: Forgive me, sir. I did all that medical science can do for him. Only a miracle can save your friend now.
Nakahara, appearing from the door: Bad news! I couldn't contact the closest hospital for Draco!
Snake, bashing his fist through a wall in anger: That worm stole my chance in getting payback!
Yuto: It might take days in order to get help for him.
Iris: Things can't get any worse from here.
Marduk, appearing from nowhere: Your friend doesn't have days...At this rate, he could die at any possible time...
Ace: It got worse, and possibly for ratin's, too.
Yuto, freaked out: Holy Exodos Flame! How did you get here?!
Iris: I thought you were knocked out cold!
Marduk: My unconsciousness was a ruse to make sure Avatar wouldn't follow me...Anyway, the likelihood of your friend dying is very high...
Yuto: He won't die. Not like this! He would never allow it in front of them!
Iris: He's the only thing they have left!
Marduk: I'm sorry...But that is the truth...They'll have to accept that he can't be saved and could die soon...
With that, he disappears.
Snake: Dead, near dead, or not dead, he proved himself 1 thing: He proved himself a true Duelist standing up to a Blood Mefist.
Nakahara: Yuto, Iris, Snake, Ace, Morgan and Megan. You go and find Schrodinger and make him pay for what he did. I'll stay here and watch over him to see if he recovers.
Morgan, defensively: I'm not leaving with Draco like this!
Megan, defensively: I refuse to leave Draco here!
Ace: Let them stay. He might need them.
Nakahara: Fine, I'll stay with these 2 and wait for Draco to recover.
Yuto: Right. Let's go!
Iris: Right!
While Nakahara stayed with the twins, the rest of the group headed out.
Nakahara: Dr. Schneider, if I'm to leave the room, I need you to look after them for me. I might need to see if we can contact the nearest hospital.
Dr. Schneider: Of course.
Cut to Domino City III Square. Schrodinger is apprehending a young male Duelist.
Schrodinger: Serves you right for trying to get to me, runt.
Duelist: I didn't do anything!
Yuto: Hey, fish breath! I don't know where you get off of blaming Duelists, marking them, and then hurting my friend!
Schrodinger: Quite simple, really. Working undercover. As Duel Rook, I'll be more than willing to disqualify all of you.
Iris: You don't make the decisions here!
Schrodinger: On the contrary, I do. I was the real Commissioner from the start, using Ratchet as mere sheep's clothing. And Avatar is the same. When I'm finished with you, Avatar will be the next to fall, just like Draco did.
Cut to hospital. Morgan and Megan are asleep next to Draco. He wakes up, only to struggle to get up. However, he managed to do so by taking off the machinery on him. He slowly limped out of the building, holding onto the railing of the wall.
Nakahara, walking in: Good news! We can finally-!
He then realizes Draco isn't there.
Nakahara, in comical, furious shock: WHERE'S DRACO!?
Cut to City Square.
Snake: To think you were better than Ratchet, Schrodinger. But I was wrong. Everybody was. And I'm going to make you pay for making me the criminal I never wanted to be!
Schrodinger: Please. With a Deck full of worms? You hardly qualify as a Duelist now.
Draco appears, limping weakly.
Draco: You don't qualify for a Dueling Security Bureau Officer...You deserve to be the criminal...
Yuto: Draco! What are you doing here?!
Iris: You're supposed to be in the medical room! What if someone notices you're gone?!
Draco: I healed well...And it just so happens our Duel wasn't finished...
Schrodinger: What are you talking about? I easily beat you.
Draco: The rules of the tournament state that you must defeat the opponent by making his or her Life Points go to 0, or if you find out any cheating. Also, damaging an opponent is forbidden.
Avatar: That's right. And I can easily disqualify you for that, and for saying you'll overthrow me.
Draco: No. Let me Duel him, fair and square. I want him to pay for those who were blamed as criminals. For those he tormented. For my siblings, who you tried to separate me from, and for my parents, who entrusted me with this Deck as a last dying wish to live on to protect what's important to me. This Deck radiates with their passion, and I can still hear that passion in this very Deck. Avatar, I may no longer serve you, but I ask of you to let me Duel him.
Avatar: Very well. Do with him as you will. You may have failed and betrayed me, but you far exceeded my expectations, unlike him. I'll be waiting for the final results.
As Avatar disappears into smoke, Draco activated his Duel Disk.
Draco: It's time you pay for your actions.
Schrodinger, activating his Duel Disk: It's time you joined your deceased parents.
Draco: They are with me. In this Deck. And I live on because of them.
Snake: Another thing to note: He has guts and the moxie to back up his statements.
Draco: Schrodinger, I won't lose to you!
Schrodinger: We'll see.
Draco: You'll lose, and you'll pay for underestimating me, you piece of common trash!
Both players started off with 8000 Life Points and 5 cards each.
Draco: My turn! I Summon Fabled Raven! And then I use the effect of Fabled Grimro, sending her from my hand to the Graveyard to add another Fabled Monster in her place, as I control a Fabled Monster. Next, I play Double Summon to use Fabled Raven as a sacrifice to Summon Fabled Dianaira! Then, I play Monster Reborn to bring him back again. And you know what that means?
Schrodinger: A waste of cards.
Draco: A Synchro Summon, tuning my Level 8 Fabled Dianaira with my Level 2 Fabled Raven!
Yuto: Alright! His best card!
Draco: You shall witness a tyrant so noble, a tyranny so righteous, and the brightest light that casts the darkest of shadows all into 1! Rise! Fabled Leviathan!
Schrodinger: What a waste.
Draco: I'll place 1 card face-down and end my turn.
Schrodinger: Well, then. I Summon Snake's Tuner Monster, Masked Chameleon.
Snake, furious: My what?!
He then summons a chameleon whose face makes it look like it has a mask on.
(Masked Chameleon, Lvl 4, ATK 1600, DEF 1100, Earth, Reptile, Tuner)
Snake: You snake! You had that card the whole time?!
Schrodinger: Now, I use the effect to Special Summon Yuto's Mirror Ladybug.
Yuto: What?!
He then summons a ladybug with mirror-like wings.
(Mirror Ladybug, Lvl 1, ATK 100, DEF 100, Light, Insect)
Schrodinger: Now to synchronize my 2 cards.
Yuto: Hold it right there!
Schrodinger: I call forth a being of pure darkness and a heart as black as evil, and offer your life as the sacrifice when you fall. Show these fools the true meaning of suffering and bleed them dry, Blood Mefist.
Draco: It's power doesn't even compare to Fabled Leviathan's.
Schrodinger: It will when I play the Equip Spell, Sword of Dark Rites, to make it superior to your creature.
Blood Mefist ATK: 2800-3200
Schrodinger: Now, Blood Mefist. Attack with Rancid Rush.
Blood Mefist spewed its acidic blood at Fabled Leviathan, dissolving him completely.
Draco: 8000-7800
Schrodinger: Fabled Leviathan is destroyed.
Draco: But its disciples rise from the ashes. Whenever Fabled Leviathan is destroyed and sent to the Graveyard, it lets me bring back up to 3 Fabled Monsters from my Graveyard to my hand. And you know which Monsters I have.
Ace in his head: Clever, but not clever. It saved him from serious hand trouble, yet not from Blood Mefist. Also, the only cards he has are Monsters with Attack Points less than said Blood Mefist due to the Sword of Dark Rites. It seems as if Dr. Schneider was right that only a miracle can save him, because he's doomed if he can't make the right move.
Draco: Next, I activate the Jar of Greed Trap Card, to let me draw a card. This protects me from Blood Mefist's effect, so I take no damage on my own turn.
Schrodinger: Smart, yet you're wide open after your next, and last, turn.
Draco: The battle has only begun. I activate the Spell Card, Pot of Greed, to let me draw 2 more cards, and then I play Allure of Darkness to draw 2 cards and banish Claw Reacher. Next, I discard Fabled Lurrie, which Special Summons himself by his effect, to Special Summon The Fabled Nozoochee, whose effect lets me Special Summon Fabled Raven, and I Normal Summon Fabled Kushano. I now tune The Fabled Nozoochee with Fabled Raven, 2 Level 2 Monsters to Synchro Summon a Level 4!
Schrodinger: Those are rarely found. Let's see who you Summon.
Draco: Watch as the light of darkness shines to cast a shadow so bright it's dark! I Summon The Fabeled Unicore!
Schrodinger: That thing's too weak.
Draco: I'm far from finished. I now tune my Level 1 Fabled Lurrie with my Level 3 Fabled Kushano!
Schrodinger: Another Synchro Monster?
Draco: Watch as the majestic malevolence rules with a mighty strike that the earth trembles upon running! I Summon The Fabled Kudabbi!
Schrodinger: That thing is weaker than your last Summon.
Draco: It's still my turn, and this is just the beginning. I just forged an Overlay Network with these 2 creatures. I use the power of these Beasts to Xyz Summon the Diamond Dire Wolf! And this is the beginning. I activate Black and White Wave! Since Diamond Dire Wolf has at least 1 Synchro Monster as an Overlay Unit for it, I can banish a card on the field and draw a card. I banish Blood Mefist!
A spiral stream of black and white fired at Blood Mefist, tearing him to shreds.
Draco: Now my Diamond Dire Wolf can attack you directly with Diamond Fang Slash!
Schrodinger: I Special Summon Battle Fader, ending the Battle Phase. Clever move banishing my Blood Mefist so you could Set cards as much as your heart desires, but destroying Blood Mefist like that was your most foolish action yet. I play Double Summon to let me Normal Summon both The Calculator and The Calibrator simultaneously.
He then summons a robot with a calculator for a head and another with a calibrator for a head.
(The Calculator, Lvl 2, ATK ?, DEF 0, Light, Thunder)
(The Calibrator, Lvl 4, ATK 1500, DEF 1500, Light, Thunder)
Schrodinger: The Calculator gains 300 Attack Points for the total combined Levels of each Monster on my field, and the Calibrator gains 300 Attack Points for the Total Ranks of your Xyz Monsters.
The robotic calculator started typing numbers and equations on its chest, while the robotic calibrator was adjusting itself using the dial on its chest while clipping the cords onto Diamond Dire Wolf.
The Calculator ATK: 0-2100
The Calibrator ATK: 1500-2700
Schrodinger: Now I can destroy your Monster with The Calibrator, and then The Calculator can attack directly. Calibrated Thunder Blast.
The robotic calibrator, whose cords were still on Diamond Dire Wolf, fired a blast of charged electricity, shattering it.
Draco: 7800-7100
The Calibrator ATK: 2700-1500
Schrodinger: Now for the direct attack. Calculated Thunder Blast.
The robotic calculator fired an electric blast at Draco.
Draco: 7100-5000
Draco: Thank you, sir. Would you like another?
Schrodinger: It's "May I have another?", not-
Draco: With pleasure. I activate the Spell Card, Monster Reborn to revive Fabled Grimro, and then I Summon The Fabled Chawa. Now I tune Fabled Grimro with The Fabled Chawa!
Schrodinger: More of these pests?
Draco: Prepare to see a light so malevolent, it's a darkness so benevolent! I Summon Fabled Ragin! It's power allows me to draw until I have 2 cards in my hand if my Hand Size Limit is less than 2. Now I use Fabled Ragin to attack The Calculator with his Blade of Entropy!
Fabled Ragin drew out his sword and smashed it through the robotic calculator, destroying it.
Schrodinger: 8000-7800
Schrodinger: A loss like that doesn't even faze me. I Set 2 cards face-down, and then I sacrifice The Calibrator to Summon Mist Archfiend.
He then summons a demon made entirely out of vapor.
(Mist Archfiend, Lvl 6, ATK 2400, DEF 0, Dark, Fiend)
Iris: Now he won't have to suffer its effect, and Draco's Monster will be destroyed!
Schrodinger: Mist Archfiend, attack. Haze Claw Slash.
The demon disappeared into mist, only to reappear in front of Fabled Ragin. It then raised its claws and slashed Fabled Ragin.
Draco: 5000-4900
Draco: Big mistake, mouse for brains. I still have 2 cards in my hand, and I also have a card that can clear that annoying fog. I activate Trade-In, discarding Fabled Dianaira to draw 2 more cards. I then play Pot of Greed to draw 2 cards! Now, I play Double Summon, which allows me to simultaneously Summon The Fabled Kokkator and The Fabled Rubyruda, 2 Level 4 Monsters.
Schrodinger: More pets?
Draco: Actually, more Synchro Material. I tune The Fabled Kokkator with The Fabled Rubyruda!
Yuto: He's Synchro Summoning 1 Monster after another!
Iris: Makes me think of the time you Dueled him, Yuto.
Snake: Maybe, but I sense something bad about this. Not the fact he's Summoning Synchro Monsters, but the fact that he might be holding back.
Draco: Witness the power of a vice so virtuous that it brings a light that casts darkness over all! I Summon Fabled Valkyrus!
Schrodinger: You keep Summoning 1 weak creature after another. Just give up.
Draco: Never. Fabled Valkyrus wants to physically introduce your Mist Archfiend to its Knuckles of Tumult!
Fabled Valkyrus bore through the demon with its brass knuckles and delivered a punch to Schrodinger.
Schrodinger: 7800-7300
Schrodinger: I'm not fazed by such a pathetic show like that. I activate the Spell Card known as Offerings to the Doomed. By skipping my Draw Phase, I can destroy your last Synchro Monster.
Fabled Valkyrus shattered like glass.
Schrodinger: Next, I activate Dimension Fusion, paying 2000 Life Points to revive the Blood Mefist.
Schrodinger: 7300-5300
Draco: You're unoriginal.
Schrodinger: Well, you're dead. Blood Mefist, attack with Rancid Rush. And while you do that, I'll heal myself with the Enchanted Javelin, giving me Life Points equal to the Attack Points of an attacking Monster, in this case, Blood Mefist.
Schrodinger: 5300-8100
Schrodinger: Now, destroy him.
Blood Mefist spewed acidic blood at Draco, which it set on fire, causing great pain to Draco.
Draco: 4900-2100
Schrodinger: Now I activate Dian Keto the Cure Master to heal me.
Schrodinger: 8100-9100
Schrodinger: Lastly, I play Cemetery Bomb, so you lose 100 Life Points for every card in your Graveyard.
An explosion then engulfs Draco, causing much more pain to him.
Draco: 2100-100
Yuto: Hey, no fair! You were supposed to follow the rules of the tournament!
Schrodinger: Please. This tournament is nothing more than a mere game to me. The rules don't mean anything to me in something as pathetic as this. And Avatar is nothing. Just a weak, spineless fool. When this is over, I'll surpass the Rank of Duel King, and become Duel God.
Draco, weak from the damage: That...will never...happen...you stupid...insolent...arrogant...scum-sucking pig...
Schrodinger: Please. Save your breath. You'll need it on this last turn, because I'll be more than capable of crushing you again.
Draco: Wrong...I won't lose...I won't lose to you...This Deck will defeat you...And your reign of terror will end...
Schrodinger: That Deck can't do anything. Your dead parents abandoned that Deck and left it behind for you in vain, and I can clearly hear their last breath coming from each and every Monster you have, or rather had, being destroyed.
Draco: My parents gave me this Deck and entrusted me with it...I can still hear them guiding with every Summon I make, and I can hear their passion in them! I play Pot of Avarice, sending 5 of my Fabled Monsters back to my Deck and allowing me to draw 2 cards! Next, I activate Pot of Greed to draw 2 more cards! I now play the Continuous Spell Card, Spell Economics! With this card, I don't need Life Point payment to activate cards! I then activate Soul Release to banish all of my Synchro Monsters!
Schrodinger: Big deal.
Draco: It is a big deal, because I activate Double Spell! Now I can target a Spell Card in you Graveyard, and use its effect for Double Spell, making it look as if I used that card.
Schrodinger: But that means-!
Draco: That's right. I use Dimension Fusion, and with Spell Economics, I don't have to pay even 1 Life Point.
Schrodinger: No! It can't be!
Draco: I signed a contract with chaos. I work for them, I get my end of the bargain in return. They let me join for whatever I desired, but I didn't sign for mere power. It means nothing to me. I signed to protect my siblings, to protect Domino City III from suffering more, and to end your savage tyranny over us once and for all! With the powers of Light and Darkness, I resurrect my Forces of Chaos!
With that, he summoned all of his fallen Synchro Monsters. Nakahara and the twins arrive.
Nakahara: What the?! All of Draco's Fabled Monsters on the field?!
Morgan and Megan: Go, Draco! You can win this Duel!
Draco: Now, Schrodinger, it's time you start saying your prayers.
Schrodinger: I think not!
With that, he activated a Hinotama, which appeared to hit Draco, but when it cleared, he was unharmed.
Draco: What a shame. You just initiated your self-destruct sequence. Let my Monsters give the countdown. 5! Fabled Valkyrus, attack with Knuckles of Tumult!
Fabled Valkyrus used its brass knuckles to bore through Blood Mefist.
Schrodinger: 9100-9000
Draco: 4! The Fabled Unicore, attack with Bedlam Horn!
The Fabled Unicore pierced its horn through Schrodinger.
Schrodinger: 9000-6700
Draco: 3! The Fabled Kudabbi, attack with Misrule Uppercut!
The Fabled Kudabbi charged at Schrodinger and thrust its horns upward, giving him a horn uppercut.
Schrodinger: 6700-4600
Draco: 2! Fabled Ragin, attack with Blade of Entropy!
Fabled Ragin drew out his sword and slashed Schrodinger with it.
Schrodinger: 4600-2300
Draco: Now you're going to be swallowed in your own evil.
Schrodinger: No, please! I give up! I surrender!
Draco: Nice try, coward. You're trying to make me give up so you can bring back Blood Mefist and destroy me. Won't happen. 1...Fabled Leviathan, end this Duel with Familiar Swarm!
Fabled Leviathan, smirking and snickering with malice, summons his familiars and uses them to swamp the field.
Schrodinger: No! Please! Get away! Leave me alone! No-!
But it was too late. The Spirit of Fabled Leviathan was very single minded, and he merely sent more reinforcements. They all swamped the whole field and started dragging Schrodinger towards Draco, who grabs him by the collar.
Draco: You made a grave mistake insulting my Deck and my parents. You make me sick.
He then punches Schrodinger in the face, knocking him out cold.
Schrodinger: 2300-0
Draco wins.
Ace: Yep. Draco for ya. Able to survive burnin' blood that could increase the ratin's and capable of knockin' the white and yellow off o' peoples' teeth. I've gotta learn those techniques.
Draco, throwing the unconscious Schrodinger to Nakahara: Get this disgusting thing out of my face.
Nakahara, catching Schrodinger: Don't worry. Reinforcements are right here.
Ratchet: And reinforcements are going to strip this lowly criminal of his rank. Take him away.
2 DSB Officers threw a handcuffed Schrodinger into an armored truck.
Snake: Wait. There's something I must get.
Yuto: Same.
Yuto and Snake take back their cards from Schrodinger's Deck.
Snake: Return those to anyone who lost their cards to him.
Ratchet: Of course.
Silver Dragon, appearing from nowhere: I see my mission was completed before I could arrive. No matter. The very scars this city was forced to bare have healed.
Ratchet: You must be the Silver Dragon.
Silver Dragon: Yes, I am. And I come to this city due to the amount of crimes that erupted in this city.
DSB Officer: Hey! Don't interfere with our work!
Silver Dragon: Work against the most dangerous criminals, those who were released when they weren't supposed to, and those who commit crime after crime. The Dueling Security Bureau has become incompetent because of this criminal scum, and your foolishness to believe him.
DSB Officer: What was that?! You like to hear your own words? I'll shove them back down your throat!
Silver Dragon: Go ahead and try. You'll be no better than him.
Snake, impatiently: Your reason here?!
Silver Dragon: The reason I'm here is only for the very group participating in this tournament. But before this, I must say this. If an incident like this happens ever again, I'll have the Dueling Security Bureau go bankrupt and leave every single officer jobless. Is that understood?
Ratchet: You have my word. Trust me, we're no longer going to use criminal markers on innocents now that Schrodinger will be put behind bars.
The DSB Officers and Ratchet headed back to their headquarters.
Nakahara: Now, what is it that you want?
Silver Dragon takes off his mask, revealing the many criminal marks on his face. This shocked all present but Silver Dragon.
Silver Dragon: It is time I reveal to you who I really am.
Ace: A man with hero syndrome?
Fafnir: My name is Fafnir, and as you can see, I have been branded several criminal marks in my time.
Yuto: Your time?
Iris: What do you mean?
Fafnir: I'm from the future.
Morgan and Megan, with big sparkly eyes full of excitement: Wow! Really?!
Fafnir: Yes, and it's not a future that you would want to see. I'm not talking about Shadow Games, the World of Darkness, Zero Reverse, Barian Invasions, or anything else. I'm talking about a world with absolutely no inhabitants left, because humans had to struggle to survive. Unlike most, I fled, hoping to get away from the fighting, and I did, but at a great cost. Everyone else was gone. I searched everywhere to see at least 1 person so I don't feel alone, but I heard nothing. As to why I fled, I was merely a child, and in the situation I was in, I was afraid. Afraid for my life and everyone else's, but I couldn't do anything about it. I was too young, too inexperienced, and too scared.
Snake: Everything you say about this apocalyptic future makes no sense. This proves nothing.
Fafnir: Proves how little you see. I saw enough to know what the future was like, so I had to invent time-travel to go back in time, get away from the future, and stop the man responsible for this incident. Through my vast research, I read an article of Ratchet, Commissioner of the Dueling Security Bureau, was behind all of this. However, I soon realized from watching Draco's first Duel with him that it was all a big fat cover-up. That information was all I needed to hear in order to complete my task. And as for Draco, the reason as to why you were healed miraculously was my doing with the assistance of the Azure-Eyes Silver Dragon. All I needed to do in order to make that happen was a little set of distractions, allowing me to heal him. Eventually, you'd find out, but it's a small price to pay in order to get further ahead.
Nakahara: What do you mean "further ahead"?
Fafnir: In my mission to restore humanity in my future. The only way I could hide from the people in the past was to take up the name, "Silver Dragon", and I was able to roam the city that I once loved, and defend it from malevolent forces, natural and unnatural alike.
Ace: Hold up, won't changin' the past disturb the space-time doohickey?
Fafnir: Indeed, it will cause a chain reaction to the space-time continuum, but that chain reaction is very small. A butterfly effect, if you will. It will bring back all life back the way it was, but nothing more than that. I chose to stay in this city to assist all of its inhabitants.
?: A touching story, Silver Stooge! AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
Draco: If somebody doesn't make him put a sock in it, I swear!
Malice: So, you recovered and defeated your opponent, blah blah blah, happily ever after, blah blah blah, revealed to be from the future, blah blah blah, ALL GARBAGE!
Fafnir: There's a such thing as volume control, and I suggest you use it.
Draco: There's also a such thing as shutting up, but he never does so.
Malice: Draco, you were supposed to suffer! You were suppose to FALL! YOU WERE SUPPOSED TO PERISH LIKE YOUR PARENTS!
Draco, furious: Don't ever mention their untimely deaths!
Snake: If I were you, motor mouth, I'd cork it before things get hideous!
Malice: If I were you, I'd keep my mouth shut!
Yuto: Hard to believe.
Iris: You don't even lower your voice, at least.
Fafnir: Explain your business here, criminal.
Malice: PAYBACK IS WHAT! And to make sure nobody leaves and to make 1 of you fools Duel me-!
Fafnir: You Duel me! By my Deck, you shall not win!
He activates his Duel Disk.
Malice, activating his Duel Disk: Very well, then! After I'm through with you, I'll make those filthy rats who admire you so much suffer! AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
To be continued...
