"The end of the world, what do you mean?" Leo asked nervously. "Yusei would never hurt anyone."

"He's right, I know Yusei and if anything he'd be the one trying to save the world Goodwin." Jack said. "So what's really going on?"

"You misunderstand, perhaps I should start from the beginning. You all must know of the marks on your arms." Goodwin started. "They are the marks of the Crimson Dragon, a sign that you are the only ones capable of saving the world from the forces of darkness."

"You must be joking." Akiza interrupted. "All this wretched mark brings is pain and suffering. If I could I would get rid of it permanently."

"Akiza I understand your doubts but had you not been given your power you never would have met the other chosen duelists, the other signers." Goodwin explained. "However that is exactly where our problem comes from, I fear that Yusei Fudo is destined to destroy the world. You all saw what happened just before the end of his duel with Jack correct?"

"We did, what happened to him?" Luna asked nervously.

"I'm not entirely sure, after all he clearly has the mark of the Crimson Dragon just as the rest of you do." Goodwin said. "However I assume you've realized the unique feature Yusei Fudo possesses?"

The moment Goodwin said that, a purple dragon mark appeared on Yusei's arm.

"What in the world is that?" Jack asked in shock.

"That is the mark of the forces of darkness." Goodwin said. "The dilemma is that Yusei has both the marks of the light and darkness."

"So, all Yusei has to do is choose to help people and everything will be fine." Leo said. "What's the big deal?"

"The 'big deal' as you put it Leo, is that Yusei clearly isn't capable of controlling that power on his own. You saw during his duel with Akiza that he was having difficulty maintaining control, and during his duel with Jack his Immortal Cosmic Dragon was summoned using that very power." Goodwin explained. "If my suspicions are correct it's that very card that's the cause of this mark appearing on his arm."

"Then all we need to do is get rid of the card, that's simple enough." Akiza said calmly.

"No, it isn't." Jack said. "Immortal Cosmic Dragon isn't just a card, I don't know how but somehow that dragon is Yusei. There's a good chance getting rid of it will kill him."

"Wait, so do you mean Yusei can't control his power, and if we try to help him it could kill him?" Luna asked nervously.

"I'm afraid that is exactly what Jack means." Goodwin clarified. "Yusei Fudo is very likely going to be the cause of the end of the world."

A mark forcing a power on him that he can't control, just like my power Akiza thought. "What else do you know about that dragon?"

"I'm afraid I don't know much, all I do know is that this creature is incredibly dangerous and draws its power from the same source as your enemies. The forces of darkness." Goodwin explained.

"Then what are we supposed to do Goodwin, just sit around and wait for Yusei to end the world?" Jack asked angrily.

"No, we don't need to wait for him to destroy the world." Akiza said thoughtfully.

"What do you mean?" Leo asked just before a man in a brown jacket walked up to them.

"This is a private meeting, is there something you need?" Goodwin asked calmly.

"You can save the formalities Goodwin, I came because I was worried about Akiza." the man said. "After her duel with Yusei Fudo I wanted to be sure that she was alright."

"Sayer, that's right you're the one who told me the truth." Akiza said.

"Truth, what are you talking about?" Jack asked.

"The truth that Goodwin and his brother were the ones who caused the City to separate from the Satellite." Akiza said. "A secret he's been keeping from everyone."

"What?" asked a voice from behind them. "What does she mean Goodwin?"

"Yusei, about time you wake up." Jack said. "It looks like Goodwin has a lot more explaining to do, so out with it what happened Goodwin?"

"Perhaps I can clarify, you all know of the infamous earthquake that split New Domino City in two correct?" Sayer asked.

"Of course, everyone knows about it." Yusei said.

"There was no earthquake, the ener-D reactor that powers all of New Domino City is actually the second reactor. The first had a catastrophic meltdown and exploded." Sayer said calmly. "That was the real cause the city was split in two, not an earthquake."

"What?" Jack asked angrily.

"That isn't the only thing you should be made aware of." Sayer continued. "The first ener-D reactor was destroyed manually, by a man named Roman Goodwin."

"In other words everything Goodwin's been saying is a lie." Jack said angrily.

"No, everything I've told you today is true." Goodwin said. "Those marks mean you're the only ones capable of stopping the forces of darkness."

"If that's true I'll personally assist them however I can, that is if you're willing to accept my help." Sayer said calmly.

"You can trust him, Sayer only wants to help people." Akiza said honestly.

"Alright, tomorrow we'll go to the Arcadia Movement headquarters. Does that work for you two?" Jack asked Leo and Luna.

"Yeah, that's fine." Leo said. "At least someone is being honest with us."

I hope you're right Leo, but I have a weird feeling about this, Luna thought.

"Well if that's all I'll be expecting you tomorrow." Sayer said calmly before teleporting away with Akiza.

"Sayer, there's something else." Akiza said quietly.

"What is it Akiza?" Sayer asked calmly.

"It's just something Goodwin said, Yusei can't control his powers just like me." Akiza said. "Do you think we can help him somehow?" (1)

"I'll see what I can do Akiza." Sayer said calmly.

"Thank you Sayer." Akiza said. "I just don't want him to suffer like I did."

"I understand completely, don't worry I'll do whatever I can to help him." Sayer reassured her.

(Goodwin's secret has been revealed and the signers are planning to join Sayer instead. Next chapter the signers will arrive at the Arcadia Movement headquarters. As always any reviews or critique is appreciated.)

(1) (Akiza feels a bond with Yusei beyond just the mark of the Crimson Dragon due to the fact that they both have a power they can't control, and so sympathizes with him more than she does with the other signers. That's why she specifically wants to help him.)
