Chapter 36: A Single Beat- Part 4

Third Person POV

At the Dark Signers lair, Crow, Trudge, Leo, and Luna looked at the Ener-D, where Yusei had fallen into.

. . .

Yusei was suspended in midair in the darkness of the Netherworld when he saw a light. It began to call his name in a soft, almost inaudible voice.

"Is that calling me?" Yusei wondered. He began walking and found himself near a river. "A river?"

A light figure appeared and spoke, "You don't belong to this world just yet."

"Are you the one who guided me here?" Yusei asked. 'That voice…' Yusei thought recognizing it. "Father?!"

The figure took the form of Dr. Fudo and Yusei knew the figure was his father. "I am sorry, my son. I hope you can forgive me for burdening you with such an outrageous destiny," he told Yusei.

Dr. Fudo began to fade and Yusei called, "Wait!"

"Destiny can and will be changed," Dr. Fudo stated as he continued to fade. Yusei continued to pursue his father, calling out to him. Dr. Fudo spoke again to Yusei saying, "There are people who are truly waiting for you down the path you'll proceed."

"Father!" he called. "Wait!" But Dr. Fudo soon faded away and Yusei was blinded by light.

. . .

Trudge, Crow, Leo, and Luna suddenly saw a shot of light come out from the Ener-D and notice Yusei floating within the light. The light slowly disappeared and Yusei began to float down slowly to his friends.

The twins were crying again, but with happiness instead of fear and dread. And were to more than relieved to see Yusei back and Trudge and Crow caught him. Everyone called for Yusei to wake up, in which he slowly did.

Yusei looked around after opening his eyes and noticed everyone staring at him with worried eyes. "Am I back?" he muttered.

Crow grinned. "You seem fine," he stated.

"How did you manage to get back?" Trudge asked.

"Yusei's safe now. Who cares how he got back? This is why adults are hopeless," Leo replied before Yusei could.

"Hey, you little…" Trudge began but Yusei cut him off.

"Sorry for worrying you guys," he told them.

"You're good. But we can't waste any time," Crow responded. Leo agreed with him.

"Right. After all, if the two remaining towers aren't sealed up before sunset, the King of the Netherworld will revive," Yusei agreed.

"But what's going to happen to Keeo?" Luna asked and they all looked at her.

"We'll talk about this on the ride. We'll head to the Lizard Tower so we can meet up with them," Yusei decided and they nodded in agreement.

. . .

Jack was still searching for Carly inside the geoglyph, calling out for her to answer him.

The possessed Carly rode out of the geoglyph's flames and immediately continued the duel, "I activate Inherited Fortune, special summoning up to two Fortune Lady cards from my hand on my next turn."

"I set one card face down and end my turn," Jack finished. 'No matter what I does, I will save you, Carly.' Carly drew a card from her deck. "Carly, are you alright?"

But the possessed Carly merely said, "Carly doesn't exist. And the effect of Inherited Fortune activates allowing me to special summons Fortune Lady Water and Fortune Lady Wind. Now Fortune Lady Water's effect activates, letting me draw two cards!" Looking at her draw, Carly laughed. "You should serve me as my sacrifice! Because I sacrifice both my monsters to tribute summon my ultimate beast and the god of darkness. Earthbound Immortal Aslla piscu (Attack 2500/ Defense 2500)."

Jack saw the shell-like device containing the souls of half of the citizens of New Domino City. 'If the real Carly were to witness this scene, she would've blamed and lamented herself,' Jack told himself.

"Aslla piscu, attack Jack directly!" Carly ordered.

"This isn't over yet. I'm going to stop your evil power or die trying. And this isn't over because I special summons Battle Fader from my hand thanks its own effect. It also ends the battle phase," Jack declared. Furious, Carly set one card. "I used to be a person who wouldn't give a thought about others and I betrayed and hurt my friends. I was a man willing enough to sacrifice others for my own ambitions. But I learned from Carly that even a bruised and troubled heart can be saved by a truly considerate heart. Right now, I'm wishing with all my heart and want to save the person I truly love. And that's Carly!" A red light surrounds him.

. . .

Everywhere, especially with Keeo, the Signers sensed Jack's determination and their Marks of the Dragon disappeared with Keeo's staying but she was sent into another vision.

. . .

The Crimson Dragon symbol appeared on Jack's back. After he noticed the symbol on his back, Jack saw a light in his deck. He drew the lighted card that was revealed to be Majestic Dragon.

"It's my turn!" Jack declared and drew a card.

After drawing Majestic Dragon, Jack heard Carly's voice calling to him and telling him to end the duel. "I don't want to hurt you or any more people because of me," she said.

"Don't be ridiculous! There has to be a way to save you," Jack retorted.

"If you truly care for me, then you must end the Duel," Carly responded.

"But… But if I do that, you'll be gone," Jack told her sad and worried.

"This is the fate I choose for myself. If you are truly considerate for me, you must finish it with your own hands," Carly said with a kind voice.

"I… I understand. If this is what you sincerely desire, I'll do it," Jack reluctantly agreed.

"Thank you, Jack," Carly stated.

And it was then that Jack realized that he must pay Carly back by saving her life as she saved his before. "Let's finish this. I summon Majestic Dragon (Attack 0/ Defense 0). Now I use Battle Fader and Red Dragon Archfiend and tune them with Majestic Dragon! So I synchro summon a dragon of power and strength. Majestic Red Dragon (Attack 4000/ Defense 3000). My dragon's effect allows me to negate your monster's effect and gain its attack until the end phase (Majestic Red Dragon: Attack 6500)." Carly made it obvious how shocked she was by the turn of events. "I'll finish this, just as the real Carly wishes! But I won't let her die alone. This is the fate that I had chosen for myself and if I'm defeated along with her, I'll have no regrets."

The spirit of the true Carly reappeared and said, "I'm going to choose your fortune once more."

"I activate Earthbound Release," Carly declared. "This tributes Aslla piscu and destroys all monsters on the field and inflicts their combined attack points to you as damage!"

Jack was shocked by this revelation and commented, "But the effect of Majestic Red Dragon can negate any card's effect trying to destroy it and inflicts the damage to the opponent equal to its attack!"

While the dragon prepared to counter-attack, the real Carly said regaining herself, "My real wish is that you will be loved by everyone and that you will become a real king that makes everyone happy, Jack." She showed him a card with Jack surrounded by children on it. Carly took the 6500 points of damage and Jack won.

. . .

After Carly's defeat, the geoglyph disappeared and each Marks of the Dragon reappeared on the respective Signers' right arms. Meanwhile Keeo returned to her conscious self after witnessing everything.

"Jack won his duel," Keeo stated.

Mina to jumped for joy, happy about Jack's victory, and Mina sighs in relief and said, "Jack's a true king."

. . .

Jack went to see Carly, who was lying on the ground, and "Carly! Carly, don't die on me."

She opened her eyes and asked, "Where are you?" Jack replied saying that he was right at her side. "Because I don't have my glasses, I can't see anything." Jack gave the glasses to her and she shakily fit them on. "I loved to cheer on people like you, who tried their hardest. But, when I tried to wish for such selfish happiness, I must have been wrong for doing so."

"No, Carly. Everyone has a right to wish for happiness. If what you're saying that's a crime, then I'm guilty as well," Jack retorted.

Carly looked at Jack. "I know that you'll save the world. I'll be cheering you on, after all." She gave him a hug, which Jack returned and slowly began to turn into dust. Before disappearing, Carly said, "Jack, I love you." After that, she disappeared. Carly's glasses fell to the ground and Jack tried to grab the now non-existent Carly. Sad, Jack looks at the light dusts falling from the sky.

. . .

As they drove towards the final, Yusei, Crow, Trudge, Leo, and Luna also saw the light dusts falling from the sky.

"Jack has won his duel against the Dark Signer," Luna concluded happily.

"There's still one tower left to seal," Yusei reminded. "And the Dark Signers' ambitions will be stopped."

. . .

With Akiza, Mina, and Keeo, they saw the amusement park get closer.

"Akiza, Keeo, we're almost there," Mina informed. "Just a few more minutes.

"This is it," Keeo stated.

"Yeah. It's time we finished things with Misty," Akiza agreed.

Keeo nodded and they looked at each other. "As sisters," Keeo stated holding out a hand to grip.

"Sisters," Akiza agreed and gripped her hand

Me: That's that.

Keeo: Well, at least Jack won his duel. But what'll happen with me and Akiza?

Me: Sorry, can't say.

Keeo: Damn it!

Me: Keeo, if my parents hear you swear, I'll be in serious trouble. So don't swear!

Keeo: Whatever.

Me: You realize that if I get grounded, I won't be able to write the story and that means you won't be able to find out what happens, right?

Keeo: *frowns*

Me: *rolls eyes* Anyway… see you in the next chapter readers! Assuming my parents don't ground me because of Keeo.
