"So does everyone understand the plan?" Jack asked as they raced towards the reactor.

"Yeah, you two will handle the first dark signer and then Luna and I will handle the second one." Akiza said. "I only hope they're willing to accept our terms."

"They will be, after all we're giving them two advantages over us from the start." Yusei said as limiter continued to glow.

"Hey, that must be it you guys." Leo said pointing to a tower in front of them.

"Alright, you just need to leave this to us. It's about time we take these dark signers down a peg or two." Jack said with a smirk just before a cloaked figure raced around from behind the tower.

"Oh, so you decided to stick together. Big mistake because now you're all going to be sent to the Netherworld right here." the figure said.

"That voice, Kalin you're a dark signer?" Yusei asked in disbelief.

"Don't act so surprised Yusei, now then which one of you do I get the honor of destroying first?" Kalin asked with a smirk.

"You'll duel me and Yusei together, Kalin." Jack said. "In exchange you'll get 8000 life points and the first turn."

"A chance to take down Yusei and Jack in one fell swoop, fine." Kalin said. "You two just earned yourselves a one-way trip to the Netherworld."

"Assuming you can beat us." Jack said as the three of them lined up their duel runners and all four of their marks began glowing as purple flames emerged from the ground.

"This will be quite the trip down memory lane won't it you two?" Kalin asked.

"Maybe, but this time the outcome will be different." Yusei said calmly.

"Let's duel." Jack, Yusei, and Kalin said simultaneously.

"Do you think they'll be able to win?" Luna asked nervously.

"I don't know Luna, we haven't seen Kalin's Earthbound Immortal yet." Akiza said as their marks started glowing. "All we can do is have faith that our plan works."

"It's going to, there's no way Yusei and Jack can lose when they work together." Leo said confidently.

"I hope you're right Leo." Luna said nervously.

Jack life points 4000 speed counters 0 Yusei life points 4000 speed counters 0 Kalin life points 8000 speed counters 0: "Since you so generously gave me the first move I'll start things off by setting three cards facedown and playing Infernity Beast in attack mode." Kalin said. "That ends my move."

Jack life points 4000 speed counters 1 Yusei life points 4000 speed counters 1 Kalin life points 8000 speed counters 1: "In that case it's my turn so first I'll play three cards facedown and then I'll summon Max Warrior in attack mode." Yusei said calmly. "That ends my turn Kalin."

Jack life points 4000 speed counters 2 Yusei life points 4000 speed counters 2 Kalin life points 8000 speed counters 2: "Which means it's my turn, and since you both have monsters on the field and I don't I can summon Vice Dragon to the field automatically." Jack said. "Next I'll summon the Trust Guardian Tuner monster and tune it with Vice Dragon."

"Going for your ace monster already Jack, are you that scared of me?' Kalin asked with a smirk.

"Jack Atlas isn't afraid of anyone Kalin." Jack said. "The ruler's heartbeats will now file through here! Take witness to its creation-shaking power! Synchro Summon! My very soul, Red Dragon Archfiend."

"Not good enough Jack, I play the trap card Underworld Synchro, this lets me summon a synchro monster with the opposite level as your Red Dragon Archfiend just by sending a card from my hand to the graveyard and sacrificing Infernity Beast." Kalin said as an orb of purple light enveloped his monster. "When the curtain of darkness comes down, the eyes of the underworld will open. Swoop down, darkness! Dark Synchro! Show yourself, One-Hundred Eye Dragon."

"What in the world, that dragon is as strong as mine." Jack said in disbelief.

"Wrong Jack, the monster summoned with Underworld Synchro can't be destroyed in battle by a monster with the same attack points so your Red Dragon Archfiend will be the only monster sent to the graveyard." Kalin said.

"I end my turn with a facedown card." Jack said in annoyance.

Jack life points 4000 speed counters 3 Yusei life points 4000 speed counters 3 Kalin life points 8000 speed counters 3: "So now it's my move again, so I'll start by setting another card facedown and setting a monster in defense mode." Kalin said. "Now I banish my Infernity Beast to give One-Hundred Eye Dragon it's abilities so since I have no cards in my hand you aren't allowed to activate any magic or trap cards when I attack."

"No way, you have to be joking." Jack said nervously.

"Far from it Jack, now then One-Hundred Eye Dragon destroy Red Dragon Archfiend." Kalin said with a smirk.

"Not quite Kalin, thanks to Trust Guardian I can give up 400 of Red Dragon Archfiend's attack points to prevent it from being destroyed. Looks like neither of our dragons are going to the graveyard this turn."

"Not bad, you've improved Jack." Kalin said. "I end my turn."

Jack life points 4000 speed counters 4 Yusei life points 4000 speed counters 4 Kalin life points 8000 speed counters 4: "It's my move now Kalin so first I activate the Summon Speeder speed spell in order to play Turbo Synchron, and then I summon Shield Warrior in attack mode." Yusei said. "Now I'll tune my three monsters together."

"I'm not surprised, this duel is about to get interesting." Kalin said with a smirk.

"Clustering wishes will become a new shining star! Become the path its light shines upon! Synchro Summon! Take flight, Stardust Dragon!" Yusei said as his dragon appeared next to the Red Dragon Archfiend.

"So they're both on the field, not that either of them will help you." Kalin said. "This duel is as good as over."

(Yusei and Jack have engaged Kalin in the first shadow duel and all three of them have summoned synchro dragons to the field. Next chapter Kalin will reveal his Earthbound Immortal. As always any reviews or critique is appreciated.)
