"Mr. Atlas, are you alright Jack?" asked a voice.
"What, where am I? Where's Yusei?" Jack asked before noticing he was in his bed. "Mina, what's going on around here?"
"I don't know what you're talking about Jack." Mina said. "There's no one named Yusei in the city, and even if there was you certainly would have beaten him in a duel last night."
"Last night, something happened last night and I intend to find out exactly what it was." Jack said.
"Mr. Atlas, where are you going?" Mina asked nervously.
"I'm finding Goodwin, he has a lot of explaining to do." Jack said. Something happened last night, and I have a strong hunch he knows what it is.

"Wake up Satellite, you're not here to nap." said a voice before someone grabbed Yusei by the arm and threw him into the wall.
"Oh man, what happened?" Yusei asked. "Wait, where am I?"
"Allow me to introduce myself, you can call me chief Armstrong." said a man in a sector security uniform. "I'm in charge here at the Facility, and you're our newest guest."
"Now normally, you'd be forbidden from dueling inside the facility. However the honorable director Rex Goodwin is offering you a chance to have all of your punishments ignored provided you can beat me in a duel." Armstrong said. "Then again since your deck was confiscated before you arrived you can't duel in the first place now can you?"
"You planned this from the start didn't you?" Yusei asked angrily.
"I already told you Satellite, I'm in charge which means what I say in the Facility is law." Armstrong said with a smirk. "Now then someone take this punk to his cell."
"Is there a problem Mr. Armstrong?" asked a voice from behind him.
"Oh, vice director Lazar what do I owe the pleasure of your visit sir?" Armstrong asked.
"Director Goodwin told you specifically that this Satellite was to be given a fair chance in a duel against you. I would hate to have to tell the Director that you went against his instructions." said a purple haired man with a clown like appearance.
"Fine, get the Satellite his cards. He won't beat me either way." Armstrong said. "I still don't get why the director would insist on this, he's just a worthless Satellite."
"Perhaps, of course we'll have to see how this duel goes." Lazar said calmly as a sector security officer handed Yusei his deck. "This should be quite the interesting match."
"Duel." said Yusei and Armstrong simultaneously.

"That dragon he summoned, there must be some connection between that card and…" Goodwin started to say before Jack stormed into the room. "Jack, is everything alright?"
"You can answer that Goodwin, what happened last night when I dueled Yusei?" Jack asked angrily.
"Jack you know that dueling a Satellite is illegal in New Domino City, except for the people in this room that duel never happened." Goodwin said. "The best thing for you to do is just put it behind you."
"I can't Goodwin, something happened during that duel." Jack said before revealing the crimson wings on his arm. "This started to burn."
"Jack, how long have you had that mark?" Goodwin asked in shock.
"I've had this since I was born, so what it's just a fancy birthmark." Jack said.
"Jack that mark is extremely important, it's a symbol of the Crimson Dragon." Goodwin said respectfully.
"Crimson Dragon, wait is that the dragon from last night?" Jack asked. "I was dueling Yusei and then a dragon appeared. So these markings we have summon the Crimson Dragon?"
"Wait Jack are you suggesting that Satellite had a mark?" Goodwin asked in shock. "Are you absolutely certain?"
"Yeah, Yusei had a mark. What's the big deal, there's nothing special about him." Jack said.
"Jack if he has a mark he's much more important than you know." Goodwin said. "Though there is something I need to ask you, during your duel there was another dragon. What exactly was it?"
"You mean Immortal Cosmic Dragon?" Jack asked. "Ask Yusei about it, I've only seen it once."
"I see, well this certainly changes things." Goodwin said calmly. "I need to look into something but I assure you I'll explain everything I know after tonight's duel."

Yusei 4000 Armstrong 4000: "I'll take the first move Satellite, and I'll set three cards facedown and then I'll summon my Iron Chain Repairman in attack mode." Armstrong said. "That ends my move."
"In that case I'll go, and I'll start by summoning Speed Warrior in attack mode." Yusei said. "Next on the turn Speed Warrior is summoned, his attack points are doubled so now I attack Iron Chain Repairman with Speed Warrior."
"I play my trap card Iron Chain Recovery, this revives my Repairman and lets me summon Iron Chain Snake in defense mode." Armstrong said with a smirk. "You played right into my hands."
"We'll see, I set three cards facedown and end my move." Yusei said.
Yusei 4000 Armstrong 3800: "It's my turn now, so I'll start by summoning a second Iron Chain Snake, and now I'll use the special ability of my Iron Chain Snake and equip him to your Speed Warrior." Armstrong said. "Now I'll attack with Iron Chain Repairman."
"I play my trap card Scrap-Iron Scarecrow." Yusei said quickly. "This trap negates your attack and then I can set it facedown on my side of the field."
"Fine, I'll just attack with my second Iron Chain Snake." Armstrong said. "Next I reveal my Poison Chain and Paralyzing Chain cards to end my turn."
Yusei 3300 Armstrong 3800: "It's my move Armstrong, so first I'll discard one card to summon the tuner monster Quckdraw Synchron." Yusei said calmly. "Next I'll summon play Junk Synchron in attack mode, and using his effect I'll bring Stardust Xiaolong back from the graveyard."
"So what, none of your monsters are strong enough to destroy my Iron Chain Repairman. This duel is as good as over Satellite." Armstrong said. "You're history."
(Yusei is dueling the chief of the facility, and Goodwin is planning something behind the scenes. Next chapter the duel will end. As always any reviews or critique is appreciated."
