i don't own the Yugioh franchise

SC= Speed counter

is quiet in the futuristic metropolis of New Domino City, three minutes after midnight. Even at this late hour, the city is lit up. Yusei is sitting astride his runner, looking up at Jack, who's at the railing on the edge of the highway above.

So, Yusei! You made good time, didn't ya! I hope Officer Trudge didn't inconvenience you too much said, Jack

Please don't take it personally- he's just doin' what I pay him to do said, Jack.

Now, then, what brings you here? said Jack.

I want my Stardust Dragon and necklace back said Yusei.

Hmm! And I guess you'll be wanting your runner back as well said, Jack.

I don't need it said Yusei.

So it's the card and trinket said, Jack.

I would've thought you'd moved on by now since it seems you've gotten over losing your runner already said, Jack.

By the way- how's the new one treatin' ya? asks Jack.

I got no complaints. And how's the one ya stole from me? Still running well, I hope? said Yusei.

You never could let go of anything, could you, Yusei? asks Jack.

I never was one to forgive and forget said Yusei.

Now, where's my card and Necklace said Yusei

What's the rush, don't you want to catch up on old times? asks Jack.

I want to know where my Stardust Dragon and Necklace are said Yusei.

Oh, you mean these old things said, Jack.

Jack pulls the card and necklace out of his pocket and, with a flourish, shows them to Yusei.

Do they still look the same? asks Jack.

How could you, Jack said Yusei

That card was wastin' away with you in the Satellite. I couldn't bear to watch it sit in the hands of a loser and as for the necklace, I thought it worth a few bucks said, Jack.

it's been two years why hasn't he pawned it by now? thought Yusei.

That necklace is the only thing I have left from my parents and that card was the only hope our friends had of getting out of Satellite said Yusei.

Well, it certainly helped me when I got to New Domino City!

And to show my thanks, you can have your precious dragon card back and your necklace said, Jack.

Here, take it! I sure don't need it anymore said, Jack.

He tosses both down to her.

She puts the necklace on her neck and looks at Stardust.

Then she tosses stardust back at him.

What now, Yusei? Are you having second thoughts? asks Jack.

No, Jack said Yusei.

I want the card, but I want to make you pay for what you did more. And when I beat you, then I'll take my card back said Yusei

Hmm. You always were a dreamer said, Jack.

Well, get ready! Because here comes your wakeup call said, Jack.

The two duelists ride out of a tunnel and onto the highway, surrounded by glimmering buildings. At this late hour, they're the only ones on the road.

When're you going to tell me where we're heading, Jack? Yusei asks.

Stop your worryin'; and enjoy the view already! So Whaddaya think of New Domino City? It's a little step up from the Satellite, isn't it? But if you get homesick, I'm sure I can find a trash bin for you to play in said, Jack.

Are we gonna duel, or are you gonna play tour guide all night? Yusei asks.

Heh, heh. Well since you worked so hard to get here, I figured I'd show you the sights before you get shipped back to the Satellite Sector said, Jack.

We'll see about that said Yusei.

Yes, we will! Looks like we're here. Welcome- to the Kaibadome said, Jack.

This duel dome's impressive, isn't it? Yusei.

Television just doesn't do it justice. Now imagine it filled with thousands of adoring fans, all of 'em chanting your name and cheerin' you on!

But that's something you're never going to experience, Yusei! 'Cause after this duel, the only people cheerin' you on will be your loser friends back in the Satellite. And that's if they don't all turn their backs on you once you return without their Stardust Dragon said, Jack

I wish I could be there to see their faces when you try explaining to them how you had their card, but got greedy and turned it down in order to duel me! You're gonna regret ever coming here, Yusei said Jack.

Cause I'm gonna beat you with your own card said, Jack.

He adds the Stardust Dragon card to his own deck, slotted into the duel disk.

Jack plugs his duel disk into his runner and lowers his visor.

Computer: Turbo-duel activated.

Yusei puts down her visor, left hand on the control toggle, deck ready, foot on the gas. Jack looks back over his shoulder from the first starting block.

Now then. Try not to get scared, wilya? This course can be really rough on first-timers said, Jack.

Both: Let's ride!

Yusei, I always did enjoy dueling you. We've been battling with these monsters in our decks since we were kids! And this, old friend, is gonna be a trip down memory lane said, Jack.

Turn 1- Yusei.

Here's to history! I summon Quillbolt Hedgehog in defense mode said Yusei.

Quillbolt Hedgehog Def/800

Well! Now isn't that a blast from the past said, Jack.

Turn 2-jack.

Yusei SC 1
Jack SC 1

As is this! My Mad Archfiend said, Jack

Mad Archfiend Atk/1800

Computer: When Mad Archfiend attacks a monster in defense mode if its attack is greater than the defending monster's defense points, the opponent still takes damage.

Well, Yusei, this is just like old times, just two hundred miles per hour faster! Now, Mad Archfiend, stick it to that Quillbolt! Things seem to have started the way our last duel ended- with you losing precious lifepoints said, Jack.

Uuugh! You'll regret doing that, Jack said Yusei.

Yusei LP: 4000-1000=3000 SC:0

Yusei, the only thing I'm gonna regret is that this duel isn't being broadcast to the millions of fans around the globe who cheer for me night after night! They've earned the right to witness my greatest challenge ever, and my greatest victory! You do realize that you're gonna end up losing this battle tonight, don't you? said Jack.

You just keep talkin', Jack said Yusei,

Turn 3-Yusei.

Jack SC 2
Yusei SC 1

I'm up to speed! Huh said Yusei.

And now I can summon Junk Synchron to the field in attack mode said Yusei.

Remember when I said you'd regret taking out my Quillbolt? Well here's why! See, thanks to my Junk Synchron's special ability, I can bring it back to the field said Yusei.

Big deal said, Jack.

Yusei, you'll need to do better said Jack.

And I will says Yusei.

I tune my Junk Synchron with my Quillbolt Hedgehog to synchro-summon, Junk Warrior said Yusei.

Let's rev it up said Yusei.

Junk Warrior atk/2300.

If that's the best you've got you're in trouble said, Jack.

I think the only thing in trouble right now is your Mad Archfiend! Junk Warrior! Send 'im to the scrap heap said Yusei.

Junk Warrior attacks and destroys Mad Archfiend. Jack isn't worried; he looks condescendingly pleased that Yusei has finally landed an attack.

Yusei Lp: 3000
Jack Lp: 3500

Turn 4- Jack

Jack SC 3
Yusei SC 2

Hmm. It's my turn now said, Jack.

Hm. I summon Twin-Shield Defender in defense mode said, Jack.

Twin-Shield Defender Def/1600

Plus I'll throw down a li'l facedown for later said, Jack.

Mm. I don't like this at all; it's not like Jack to toy around. He usually cuts right to the chase. What're you planning? thought Yusei.

You thinkin' about givin' up already? Ya can if ya like said, Jack.

Turn 5- Yusei.

Jack SC 4
Yusei SC 3

Hah! I summon, Speed Warrior said Yusei.

Speed Warrior atk/900

And now his nine hundred attack points are added to Junk Warriors! But you know that already, don'tcha, Jack! It's the same combo I used back in the Satellite to get Security off your back! If it weren't for me and my Junk Warrior, you might still be rotting in the Facility said Yusei.

Hm. Whaddayou want, a thank-you? Well, you're not gettin' one said, Jack.

And now, due to my Speed Warrior's special ability, his attack points are doubled, so say goodbye to your Twin-Shield Defender said Yusei.

And you can say goodbye to half a' your Junk Warrior's attack points now. See, by destroying my Twin-Shield Defender, you activated its special ability said, Jack.

Bet you're glad Sector Security wasn't as prepared as I am when you stepped in to save me said, Jack.

Really? Because you just left yourself wide open for an attack said Yusei.

Just as long as that card stays facedown thought Yusei,

I've been waiting to do this since our last duel, Jack! Junk Warrior, attack him directly said Yusei.

Jack Lp:3500-1600=1900

Remember how you said you saved me, Yusei? asks Jack.

Yes? said Yusei,

Well, the whole thing was a setup to get me closer to your runner, and that dragon card of yours was an added bonus said, Jack.

That is a lie said Yusei.

Wishful thinking, Yusei. See, I knew exactly what your duel runner was capable of, and when I saw an opportunity, I took it said, Jack.

How could I be so blind? thought Yusei.

They say the truth will set you free. But in this case- it's gonna cost ya! And by activating my Spacegate trap card, you're never going to get your precious Stardust Dragon back said, Jack.

Yusei, once this duel is over, I'm sending you back to the Satellite where garbage like you belongs! And with my Spacegate trap card in play, I'm about to kick this duel into overdrive! Ya see, with this card, for every time you attacked me, I got a gate counter said, Jack.

This reminds me of when you helped me in the Satellite; sure you thought you were doin' the right thing, but in fact, all you did was set yourself up for disappointment! Just like now said Jack.

I guess I don't have any other option but to lay down a facedown said Yusei

And now your warriors' attack points return to normal said Jack.

Turn 6- Jack.

Jack SC 4
Yusei SC 4

Hehahahahaha! Come on, get the lead out, Yusei! I got the need- the need for speed! You're gonna hafta take off your training wheels if ya wanna keep up with me said, Jack.

Hahahahah! At least this way I can see you! said, Jack

Just make your move already Jack said Yusei

Eager for me to end this, are you? Well, don't think it's going to be as quick as I drive, because I plan on takin' my time pickin' you apart! And when I'm through with you, you're gonna wish you never left the Satellite said, Jack.

It's my turn said, Jack.

I play my Speed Fusion speed spell said, Jack.

Now since I have four-speed counters, I can activate its ability and fusion-summon a monster that will have you quakin' in your seat! Here comes a recipe for disaster- take one part Big Piece Golem, add a touch of Medium Piece Golem, mix well, and you get- Multiple Piece Golem said, Jack

Big Piece Golem Atk/2100

Medium Piece Golem Atk/1600

Multiple Piece Golem Atk/2600

That's not good thought Yusei.

Golem, send her Speed Warrior in for a permanent pit stop said, Jack.

\In that case, I activate my Defense Draw trap card! And with it in play, all the damage you cooked up with your little Golem recipe goes to zero and I get to draw a card said Yusei.

Not bad. And here I am, thinking you'd thrown in the towel said, Jack.

I guess there's still fire in you after all said, Jack.

Too bad this next move's gon'to extinguish any hope you had of winning this duel and getting your Stardust Dragon back said, Jack.

Haha! Now then, Yusei- this is when things get interestin'! By usin' my Golem's special ability, I can break 'im down to summon out the two fusion monsters that are in my graveyard said, Jack.

It's kinda like recycling, which is something you know all about, living in that dump of a tunnel you call home said, Jack.

And now, I can activate Medium Piece Golem's special ability, which allows me to summon out Small Piece Golem to the field said, Jack.

Small Piece Golem Atk/1100

That's quite the rock collection said Yusei.

Well, Yusei, you know that I've always believed in the saying 'the more the merrier,' and if you think things are crowded now, wait 'til I summon out this guy- the tuner monster Dark Resonator said, Jack.

Uh oh if he's summoning what I think he's summoning than this could be bad thought Yusei.

Now I tune Dark Resonator with Big Piece Golem, to synchro-summon my most powerful beast said, Jack.

Yusei, this battle's about to move into the fast lane said, Jack.

Now feel the power of my Red Dragon Archfiend said, Jack.

Yep, it's bad thought Yusei.

Red Dragon Archfiend Atk/ 3000

Computer: Red Dragon Archfiend is a level-eight Dark-attribute synchro monster. It has three thousand attack points and two thousand defense points.

That's your most prized possession said Yusei.

You got that right, and I only use it on special occasions said, Jack.

And I don't think they get any more special than this! I wanted my dragon to defeat you but then I thought of a more fitting conclusion said, Jack.

So by sending my Spacegate trap card to my graveyard, I can bring a new monster to the field that will make our little trip down memory lane that much more memorable- say hi to my tuner monster Sinister Sprocket said, Jack.

He looks small, but he's got friends- big friends said, Jack.

Now I tune my Sinister Sprocket with my Small and Medium Piece Golem, to synchro-summon your destruction said Jack.

He look familiar? He should; after all, this is your Stardust Dragon said Jack,

Stardust Dragon Atk/2500

Computer: Stardust Dragon is a level-eight wind-attribute synchro monster. It has two thousand five hundred attack points and two thousand defense points.

It's been much too long said Yusei.

You wanted Stardust Dragon so bad- well here it is! It's just like they always say- be careful what you wish for said Jack.
