"That was awesome Luna, you did it." Leo said excitedly. "I knew you could win."

"Thanks." Luna said with a smile.

"So you're the miserable Satellite who thinks that just because he won one duel he's king of the world." said a voice from behind them. "I don't care what they say you're nothing but garbage and deserve to be kicked out of the city."

"Hey, you have no idea what you're talking about." Leo said angrily. "Yusei is a good guy."

"Shut up you brat." said a man in a black jacket. "Now then, I'm going to do everyone in the city a favor and wipe the floor with you before Sector Security sends you to the Facility where you belong."

"If it's a duel you want, fine." Yusei said. "I'll catch up with you guys later."

"Alright, but make sure you beat this jerk Yusei." Leo said.

"Be careful." Luna said before the two of them walked back towards their house.

"Now then, time to take you down." the man said coldly.

"Let's duel." Yusei and the man said simultaneously.

"Sayer, you wanted to see me?" Akiza asked.

"Yes, as you know Goodwin is planning to gather the signers and that means he'll likely attempt to have Luna try and convince you to betray the movement." Sayer said thoughtfully.

"I would never betray you or the movement Sayer." Akiza said. "You know that."

"Of course I do, but that's exactly why you need to join them." Sayer said. "We'll bring down Goodwin from the inside out."

"What are you saying?" Akiza asked in shock.

"Simple Akiza, you'll join Goodwin and his precious signers, and then you'll show them the real Goodwin. Once they know what we do they'll be more than willing to join the Arcadia Movement." Sayer said calmly. "Of course in order to gain their trust your victory may need to be forfeit."

"Do you want me to surrender in this next duel?" Akiza asked.

"No, either Yusei Fudo or Jack Atlas should defeat you. I have complete confidence that you will win this next match against Luna and Commander Koda." Sayer said calmly. "For now you should get some rest."

"Yes, thank you Sayer." Akiza said before leaving the room.

If only you knew how important you really are to the Arcadia Movement, soon everything will be exactly as it should be, he thought.

"I play my Junk Archer's special ability." Yusei said. "Now I attack you directly."

"No way, a freak from the Satellite beat me? This has to be some kind of joke." the man said angrily. "I don't care what you say the only place you deserve to be is the Facility."

"Is there a problem gentlemen?" Lazar asked walking up with two Sector Security officers.

"Yes there's a problem, this Satellite thinks he has any right being here in the city." the man said coldly.

"Is that a fact, I wouldn't be so quick to accuse others given your history." Lazar said calmly while taking out his data file. "It seems you have quite a few years in the Facility to address yourself, please forgive the inconvenience Mr. Fudo, you can be on your way."

"Right." Yusei said calmly.

"There he is, who was that guy Yusei?" Leo asked.

"I don't know, but right now there are other things on my mind." Yusei said. "Something tells me the rest of the Fortune Cup is going to be a lot tougher."

"You mean dueling Akiza don't you?" Luna asked nervously. "I can't explain it but there's something about her that scares me."

"Yeah, I know what you mean, and if I'm right I know exactly what it is." Yusei said.

"What do you mean Yusei?" Leo asked.

"When we met Akiza before she said that I also had a mark." Yusei said.

"That's right, wait do you think she's connected to us Yusei?" Luna asked looking at her arm.

"I don't know, but I have a feeling we'll find out tomorrow." Yusei said.

"You, what are you doing here?" Goodwin asked in shock.

"The situation has changed, Yusei Fudo poses a threat to everyone in existence. We must eliminate him before that creature destroys everything in existence." said a man with a purple spider on his arm. "Brother if you continue to let him freely use that creature we both know the consequences."

"I'm well aware of the situation Roman, however right now there's nothing I can do. There's still time before the day of destiny, I'll handle the card personally." Goodwin said.

"For both our sakes I severely hope you're right about this Rex." Roman said thoughtfully before leaving the room.

"Welcome back duel fans, the second round of the Fortune Cup is almost ready to start. We have two incredibly skilled duelists ready to start the day off with Yusei Fudo taking on Grieger in a turbo duel." the MC announced.

"Well Yusei, good luck in our match." Grieger said calmly.

"Same to you Grieger." Yusei said. "Wait a second, what's wrong?"

"You can tell that easily Yusei, somehow that doesn't exactly come as a surprise." Grieger said quietly. "Still, it isn't important for our duel so you don't need to worry about it."

"If something's on your mind you won't be dueling at your best, what's going on?" Yusei asked.

"I already told you it doesn't concern you Yusei." Grieger said before racing out on his duel runner.

There's something going on, and I intend to find out what, Yusei thought before racing out next to Grieger.

"Alright, Yusei and Grieger are ready and waiting to get this turbo duel started, so let's not waste anymore time." the MC said enthusiastically. "The second round of the Fortune Cup Tournament begins now."

The moment the MC said that, Yusei and Grieger accelerated onto the track.

"Let's duel." Yusei and Grieger said simultaneously.

(The second round of the Fortune Cup has begun and Yusei is dueling Grieger. Next chapter the duel will begin, and Grieger will reveal a new card. As always any reviews or critique is appreciated.)
