"Yusei, I wanted to thank you again for what you did during the duel with Misty." Akiza said quietly. "If you hadn't revealed what Sayer did then I don't know what would have happened."
"I wouldn't let anything happen to my friends Akiza, that includes you." Yusei said.
"Huh, what's wrong Luna?" Leo asked suddenly.
"It's Kuribon, something's scaring her." Luna said.
"It has to be the dark signers, we just need to make sure we seal the last two control towers and take down Roman." Jack said confidently.
"Wait Jack, but what about what happened to Yusei when you two were dueling Kalin?" Leo asked.
"Hold on, you think I'm the one who's scaring Kuribon Leo?" Yusei asked.
"I don't know, but something weird happened after the duel, and again when Akiza and I beat Misty." Leo said.
"Yeah, I remember that too." Jack said thoughtfully. "If the same thing happens when Luna and I beat this dark signer we should keep our eyes open in case it happens again."
"Well there's the tower, which means the dark signer must be nearby." Yusei said calmly.
"So you've finally arrived." said a voice from inside the monkey tower. "I take it you're planning to continue this two on one strategy you've been utilizing?"
"Of course, you against me and Luna." Jack said confidently.
"An interesting combination, then again it won't make a difference in the long run. My name is Devack, the dark signer who bears the mark of the monkey." Devack said calmly. "Of course there is one other matter you should be made aware of."
"What are you talking about?" Leo asked angrily.
"I'm in possession of something you may want to see little girl." Devack said before revealing the Ancient Fairy Dragon card.
"That's the Ancient Fairy Dragon." Luna said in shock.
"Exactly, and as long as it's in my deck your precious fusion strategy is useless." Devack said confidently.
"We'll have to see about that, you've never dueled me before." Jack said.
"Perhaps, we'll have to see what happens Jack Atlas." Devack said calmly.
"Duel." Devack, Luna, and Jack said simultaneously.

"What did you say?" Carly asked in shock.
"There is a very strong possibility that Ccapac Apu and Ccarayhua are still out there somewhere." Roman said. "I only hope my suspicions are wrong."
"Wait, what suspicions?" Carly asked nervously.
"That they exist within Yusei Fudo now." Roman said quietly.
"That's impossible, isn't it? I mean he's a signer." Carly said.
"That may be true, however he also possesses a power unlike any we've ever seen before. If Cusillu falls to the same fate there's only one option we'll be able to take." Roman said.
"You're right, and there's one way to know if it will or not." Carly said before holding up a card as her eyes began glowing purple.

"You can have the first turn Luna." Devack said calmly.
Luna 4000 Jack 4000 Devack 8000: "Alright, in that case I'll set two cards facedown." Luna said. "Then I'll summon Kuribon in attack mode to end my turn."
"In which case it's my move so I'll start by adding my own facedown card to Luna's and then I'll summon my Mad Archfiend in attack mode." Jack said. "That'll do for now."
"In which case it's my move so I'll start with the magic card Spiritual Forest, and then I'll summon my Berserk Gorilla in attack mode and attack your Mad Archfiend." Devack said.
"When you attack Mad Archfiend it switches into defense mode which means I don't take any damage." Jack said quickly.
"In that case I'll set two cards and end my move." Devack said calmly.

"Well Carly?" Roman asked as her eyes stopped glowing.
"You were right, and it's going to happen again." Carly said. "Something very dangerous is going to happen if we don't stop Yusei."
"I was afraid of that possibility, then we both know what we'll need to do." Roman said. "We must prepare for their arrival at the final tower."
"Yeah, we do." Carly said quietly before activating her duel disc. "After you Roman."
"Very well then." Roman said as he activated his own duel disc.
"Duel." Roman and Carly said simultaneously. (1)

"So far so good, but they still need a way to get the Ancient Fairy Dragon away from him if they're going to have any chance of winning this duel." Akiza said thoughtfully.
"You don't need to worry, Jack has that all worked out already." Yusei said. "The only question is did he already prepare for it, or is he waiting until later."
"Well he's obviously going to wait, the duel just started Yusei." Leo said.
"Maybe, but if I know Jack he's going to try and take this dark signer down as quickly as possible." Yusei said.
"Then do you mean that facedown card is the key to them getting the Ancient Fairy Dragon?" Akiza asked.
"Not that card specifically, but it is the first step." Yusei said. "The only question is will he be able to use it."

Carly 500 Roman 1300: "It's my move so now Slip of Fortune brings Fortune Lady Wind back to the field in attack mode." Carly said.
"I activate my trap card Spider's Trap, this allows me to attack you when you special summon a monster. Underground Arachnid attack Fortune Lady Wind and end this duel." Roman said as he won the duel. "I'm impressed, your combinations more than make up for your lack of monsters Carly."
"Maybe, but unless we can work together there's no way we'll be able to take down the signers and their fused dragons." Carly said nervously.
"I agree, which is why the more effectively we utilize our respective strategies the better." Roman said. "If we fail to defeat Yusei Fudo there's no telling what the consequences will be."
"Yeah." Carly said nervously. "We should head to the tower, Devack won't be dueling them for too long."
"Unfortunate but true." Roman said quietly before looking at a deck of cards on a nearby table.
(Jack and Luna are beginning the duel with Devack, and Carly and Roman are preparing for the final duel with the signers. Next chapter Jack's plan to reclaim the Ancient Fairy Dragon will begin. As always any reviews or critique is appreciated.)
(1) (Roman and Carly are dueling in order to prepare to work together in a last ditch effort to stop the signers. They don't have opponents to practice against so they're having non-shadow duels with each other instead.)
