"Simply amazing, Akiza took Commander Koda out with an impressive move." the MC announced. "Can Luna find a way to outmaneuver the Black Rose, or will she face a second defeat?"

"You haven't won yet Akiza, this duel won't end until you're defeated." Commander Koda said angrily as his cards faded from the match.

"We'll see, it's your turn now Luna." Akiza said calmly.

"Akiza." Luna said quietly.

"Save the talk, a witch like her isn't worth it." Commander Koda said coldly.

"Just take your turn Luna, it's about time we put an end to this duel." Akiza said.

Luna 100 Commander Koda 0 Akiza 800: "Ok, it's my move Akiza so I'll start by summoning Kuribon in attack mode." Luna said. "Then I'll attack Phoenixian Cluster Amaryllis with Sunlight Unicorn."

"What are you doing, that's going to activate her monster's ability." Commander Koda said.

"I know." Luna said. Hopefully this can help show Akiza that we're willing to help her, she thought as her life points hit zero.

"Why do you think Luna gave up the duel like that Yusei?" Grieger asked. "She could have pulled off a victory if she played her cards right."

"Maybe, but something tells me Akiza had something planned." Yusei said holding his arm. "Still, I have a feeling our duel will be a lot tougher for both of us."

"You can say that again, she's definitely a skilled duelist." Grieger said. "I can't say I'd want to be in your place right now."

I don't know about that, but Akiza is definitely a signer, which means I might be able to get though to her, Yusei thought.

"That was certainly anticlimactic, Luna just handed Akiza the victory on a silver platter." Lazar said.

"Maybe, but I have a feeling this next duel is going to end with Yusei's victory. Especially if he brings out that monster against her." Jack said.

"Jack, if my associate is correct that monster is one of a kind and we should keep our eyes open should it appear." Goodwin said calmly.

"Obviously Goodwin." Jack said.

"Director, if you don't mind me asking, who exactly was this associate of yours?" Lazar asked.

"A man I haven't seen in some time, but who has quite the extensive knowledge on unique cards." Goodwin said calmly. Still, if what Roman and I think is true Yusei may be even more dangerous than they are, he thought.

"Akiza you were remarkable in that last duel." Sayer said calmly.

"Thank you Sayer, but why do I need to throw my next duel with Yusei?" Akiza asked. "Wouldn't it help the Arcadia Movement if I won?"

"Under normal circumstances it would, but we have the unique opportunity to destroy Goodwin from within." Sayer said calmly.

"Of course Sayer, what do you need me to do?" Akiza asked.

"Goodwin will most likely gather you and the other signers after the competition. That's when you need to ask him about the day the Satellite split from New Domino City." Sayer said.

"Wait, wasn't that just an earthquake?" Akiza asked in surprise.

"No, the truth of the matter is that Goodwin was one of the men responsible, alongside his brother Roman." Sayer said. "Once the other signers are made aware of this Goodwin will lose his influence over them and the Arcadia Movement will become even stronger." (1)

"I understand Sayer, I'll do whatever it takes to help the Movement." Akiza said.

"I know, and I have complete confidence in you Akiza." Sayer said calmly.

"Alright duel fans, the moment you've been waiting for is finally here." the MC announced enthusiastically. "These two duelists have proven they have what it takes to give Jack Atlas a run for his money, the only question left is which of these two will get a shot at the championship crown. Will it be Yusei Fudo, the shooting star of the Satellite sector, or will Akiza pull off yet another victory? There's only one way to find out."

The moment the MC said that, Yusei and Akiza stepped onto the arena.

"Akiza, let us help you." Yusei said. "These marks connect us somehow and we need to stick together to figure out what's going on."

"Fine Yusei, I'll make you a deal." Akiza said. "If you somehow manage to beat me in this duel I'll agree to trust you."

"If that's what it's going to take then I'll have to win." Yusei said.

"Assuming you can defeat me Yusei." Akiza said calmly.

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

Akiza 4000 Yusei 4000: "I'll take the first turn Yusei, so I'll summon Violet Witch in attack mode and then I'll set two cards facedown." Akiza said calmly. "That ends my turn."

"Alright Akiza, in that case I'll start by activating the One For One magic card. Now by discarding one card I can summon Turbo Synchron in attack mode." Yusei said. "Then I'll summon Speed Warrior in attack mode, and then I'll sacrifice him to summon Turret Warrior in attack mode."

"I know what's coming next, but your synchro monsters aren't enough to defeat me." Akiza said.

"I know, which is why I end my turn by setting two cards facedown." Yusei said calmly.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

"One piece of the puzzle is already on his field, the question is can Yusei bring out the other two in time?" Jack asked calmly.

"We'll have to wait and see what happens." Goodwin said. "Though if his Immortal Cosmic Dragon is as powerful as you say it is Jack I have a feeling Yusei will manage to defeat Akiza."

"You're probably right, the only question is will he be able to bring it out while Akiza attacks him with her powerful monsters." Lazar said with a smirk.

"Trust me Lazar, Yusei can bring out the Immortal Cosmic Dragon in one more turn." Jack said calmly.

"How can you be certain, he only has a tuner on the field. He still needs a dark monster and a dragon." Lazar said.

"I know, and he can both of those with one card." Jack said calmly.

(Akiza managed to win the three-person duel and now is facing Yusei in the finals of the Fortune Cup. Next chapter the duel will end. As always any reviews or critique is appreciated.)

(1) (Sayer knows about Goodwin's secrets which is why Goodwin hasn't made any moves against the Arcadia Movement despite the strange events connected to it.)
