-In the Arena, the announcer declares Yusei Fudo the winner.

Announcer: Here is your winner YUSEI FUDO!

Yusei: Akiza!

Akiza: Yusei…..help me.

Divine: Enters the arena picking up Akiza and escorting her to the waiting area.

Yusei: I will.

-Shadow in confusion.

Shadow: Yusei…(grabs his head) I know him…..but how?

Okita and Liquid: Shadow!

-Liquid and Okita comes running in.

Liquid: Wait, are you ok?

Shadow:I'm...fine just a headache.

Okita: Well we gotta regroup with Divine.

Shadow: Alright.

The 3 head out to the halls and meet up with Divine who is walking with Akiza.

Divine: The plan has been put of hold. We are to fall back for now.

Shadow: Understood.

Lazar: hold it right there.

The group turned to see a small man with two security guards.

Lazar: Director Goodwin would like to speak you Miss Akiza.

Shadow: Not happening.

Lazar: If you want to do things the hard way young man. We'd be happy oblige.

Security heading walking to them and Shadow activated his duel disk ready for a fight. But Divine put his hand on Shadow's shoulder.

Divine: Calm yourself. We'll deal with them.

Shadow: But…

Divine: I need to get Akiza to the recover pod.

Okita and Liquid: We got this.

Shadow deactivated his disk and went to Akiza and picked up her bridal style.

Shadow: Ready to go.

Akiza: Yes.

Shadow took off with Akiza in his arms.

Lazar: Stop Them!

Divine: I don't think so. You're dealing with us now, clown.

Shadow made his way to the truck. And put Akzia down.

Shadow: Here we are.

Akiza: Thank you. Do you mind stepping out for a minute, I need to change.

Shadow: Oh ok I'll be outside.

Shadow stood outside for a few minutes waiting for Akiza. He looked up a giant jumbotron and saw Yusei and Jack about to start their.

Shadow: Yusei Fudo...and Jack Atlas...why do you those names keep bothering me?

Akiza: Shadow you can come back in now.

Shadow headed back in to Akiza. She was in the pod trying to recover from her last duel.

Shadow: How are you feeling?

Akiza: Alright I guess.

Shadow: That's good.

Akiza: Can I ask you something

Shadow: Yeah sure.

Akiza: Why did you talk to me back at Arcadia Movement?

Shadow: What?

Akiza: You just talked to me like a normal person, why? Yusei told me I enjoy pain and destruction, and he's right. I enjoyed the suffering of others to make up for the pain I felt. So why even to talk me?

Shadow: I could see sadness in your eyes. I didn't want you to be alone. There's good in you Akiza, no matter what you think. You're not a monster.

Akiza: But I…(starts to cry) I was abandoned by my family and friends all my life no one cares about me only Divine.

Shadow: (grabs her hand) You're not alone and I know we haven't know each other long but I'm your friend Akiza, and I won't leave you ever.

Akiza: You promise?

Shadow: I do.

Akiza got up and hugged Shadow with tears in her eyes.

Akiza: Thank you.

Suddenly Akiza's mark started glowing and she grabbed it in pain.

Shadow: Your arm!

Akiza: My mark is glowing intensely.

Suddenly a red light shines through the window. Shadow looked out and saw a red flaming dragon over the stadium.

Shadow: What the hell is that?! Is the duel between the champion and Yusei doing this?

Akiza: Shadow what's happening?

Shadow: I don't know but I'm going to check it out. I'll be right back.

Shadow ran out heading to the stadium.
