I don't own the Yugioh franchise


There's no way you got the skills to take me down said, Tanner.

Do you have any idea what you're getting into Dollface? Asks Tanner.

Bring it on and find out said Yusei.

Well, at least you've got the whole attitude thing covered said, Tanner.

Inmate #1: you're gonna duel with the old guy's deck?

Inmate #2: guess you're looking to get embarrassed by Tanner as well

Inmate #3: they are bunkmates maybe crazy is contagious,

You don't have to do this ya know said, Yanagi.

If I don't step up, i'll never live it down said Yusei.

Who are you? Asks Yanagi.

Just a girl trying to get by said Yusei.

You lose a duel in here dollface and no one's gonna respect you said, Tanner.

And trust me around here you survive on respect said, Tanner.

Well, then you better hope you don't lose said Yusei.

Let's do this said both.

Tanner lp: 4000

Yusei lp: 4000

Seniority rules here said, Tanner.

I'm going first said, Tanner.

Turn 1- Tanner.

Lemme introduce you to my little pet said, Tanner.

Girai Gumo said Tanner.

Girai Gumo atk: 2200

Yargh spider said, Yanagi.

Inmate #1: what's wrong gramps creepy crawlies giving you the shake?

I place two cards facedown and end my turn said, Tanner.

It's your move girlie said, Tanner.

How's the old timer's deck looking? Asks Tanner.

You gonna throw some garage sale rejects at me? Asks Tanner.

Hey, Yanagi don't listen to anything these guys have to say said Yusei.

They don't what they're talking about said Yusei.

But you saw me duel said, Yanagi.

Everything blew up in my face said, Yanagi.

I had my old butt handed to me said, Yanagi.

Well, let me show you what these ancient relics of yours can do in the right hands said Yusei.

In an office, a man notices Yusei's duel and calls Goodwin.


Scene change

Yes understood said, Goodwin.

Just be sure an eye on that duel Armstrong said, Goodwin.

Write up a report be sure to note if anything unusual happens said, Goodwin.

Sounds like your old buddy from the satellite is making some new duelist friends in the facility said, Goodwin.

Look Jack I'm sorry about how recent events have transpired but allow me to explain said, Goodwin.

So far our relationship has operated on a need-to-know basis meaning I know things that you don't cause you haven't needed to know these things until now said, Goodwin.

They take an elevator down to beneath Goodwin's mansion.

You're a lot more important than you know Jack but what makes you important is not that you are a great duelist rather you're a great duelist because of what makes you important said, Goodwin.

I'm gonna pretend that makes sense said, Jack.

Beyond this door lies your destiny said Goodwin.

What going on Goodwin? Asks Jack.

What I'm about to show you is one of the world's best-kept secrets said, Goodwin.

Huh? Said Jack.

Amazing isn't it? Said Goodwin,

Hey, that dragon symbol looks like said, Jack.

He takes off his glove to reveal his signer mark.

Now listen closely Jack your standing in front of the stairway of the crimson dragon. It was originally erected in Peru but my predecessors relocated it here said, Goodwin.

That's all well and good but how does that relate to this mark? Said Jack.

The mark on your arm represents the right-wing of the crimson dragon said, Goodwin.

The same dragon you and Yusei somehow summoned at the end of your duel, like I said Jack

your much more important than you know said, Goodwin.


Scene change

My move Tanner said Yusei.

Turn 2- Yusei.

This won't help now thought Yusei.

Uh whatever you do, don't use the Crystal Skull said, Yanagi.

The crystal skull said Yusei.

Good idea said Yusei.

What are you? Said Yanagi.

I said don't use it, didn't you see what it did to me? Said Yanagi.

I summon Crystal skull in defense mode said Yusei.

Crystal skull def: 0

You can't say I didn't warn you said, Yanagi.

You know that skull's cursed said, Tanner.

Why play something that attacks yourself? Asks Tanner.

Good question said Yusei.

Why would I? Said Yusei.

It'd be a stupid move said Yusei.

Unless of course, I had this said Yusei.

Oh, I remember that one said, Yanagi.

I got that from a friendly shaman in Africa, but he never got the chance to explain how it worked said, Yanagi.

What's going on? Asks Tanner.

Tanner lp:4000-1000=3000

Inmate #2: what just happened? Seems everything played out all opposite like?

Inmate #1: Tanner ended up losing 1000 life points and the new girl didn't take any damage at all.

How'd you do that? What was that card you just played? Asks Tanner.

The curse reflection doll said Yusei.

Normally it's used to reflect curse attacks sent by the opponent but I'm going to use it to turn my own curse into an attack against you said Yusei.

Inmate #1: so the newbie found some crazy clever way to put that curse in reverse.

I'm just so glad someone other than me can see the true value of these cards said, Yanagi.

Well, I never met a card I didn't like said Yusei.

Huh? Said Yanagi.

You see every card is special and you just have to learn to appreciate its power in order to figure how to best use it said Yusei.

So you don't think they're worthless? Said Yanagi.

No way this deck is incredible said Yusei.

I knew it, I just knew it said, Yanagi.

Inmate #2: hey come on don't sweat it, Tanner. The new kid just got lucky is all. Don't let it get to ya.

No said, Tanner.

Huh? Said the inmates.

That was not luck said, Tanner.

If the pro duel taught me one thing, it was how to spot a good opponent and something tells me this girl maybe actually know what she's doing said, Tanner.

It's your move Tanner said Yusei.

Inmate #2: hey you guys was Tanner actually being nice for once?.

Turn 3- Tanner.

It's my turn said, Tanner.

I draw said, Tanner.

Sweet said, Tanner.

I release Girai Gumo in order to summon Ushi Oni said, Tanner.

Ushi oni: atk/2150

Now, why would he do that? Asks Yanagi.

Girai Gumo is more powerful than this monster said, Yanagi.

Inmate #1: just wait old-timer.

Inmate #2: The real shows about to begin.

Now I release Ushi oni to summon Giant Ushi oni said, Tanner.

Giant Ushi Oni: atk/2600

And next my giant ushi oni is taking out your Crystal Skull said, Tanner.

Inmate #1: yeah crack that crystal.

inmate#2: oh yeah.

That was only the beginning of your worries said, Tanner.

Cause when Giant Ushi Oni destroys a monster in battle it gets to attack again and with Crystal Skull gone, you got no defense. So your open for a direct attack said, Tanner.

Yusei lp: 4000-2600=1400

Ha, you're really getting caught up in this aren't ya? Asks Tanner.

You okay? Asks Yanagi.

Inmate #1: that was awesome.

Inmate #2: this girl just ain't got what it takes.

You are you any good at all girlie? Asks Tanner.

Or are you the loser these guys say you are? Asks Tanner.


Scene change

Jack allow me to shed some light, I am the 360th guardian of the star said, Goodwin.

Throughout history, my order has been known by many names the defenders of peace, the servents to the star, we have sworn to maintain balance in the universe by taking the oath of Ylister said Goodwin.

The what now? Asks Jack.

It is the power that gives everything in nature its inner essence and outward force said, Goodwin.

The universe, energy, mankind Iliaster is the power flowing through all of these things binding them together said, Goodwin.

So it's glue, you've sworn allegiance to magic glue said, Jack.

Joke all you want but that mark on your arm means you are part of something much greater and if your friend Yusei really does have a mark then she's part of it too said, Goodwin.


Scene change

Turn 4- yusei

From my hand, I summon Ashoka pillar in defense mode said Yusei.

Ashoka pillar: def/2200

Computer: Ashoka pillar is a monster card that deals 2000 points of damage to its owner when it's destroyed.

The inmates laugh.

Inmate #1: ooh look at me I just summoned a giant stick.

Inmate #2: now you got us really scared.

Knock it off you two said, Tanner.

I'm interested to see how much she can squeeze out of this deck said, Tanner.

You got another surprise up your sleeve? Asks Tanner.

I'm all about surprises, like this next card Stonehenge said Yusei,

See the power of Stonehenge lets me summon a monster with no attack points my graveyard said Yusei.

So i'm summoning crystal skull in defense position said Yusei.

Crystal skull: def/0000

Yusei lp: 1400-1000=400

The inmates make more comments

Think again boys said, Tanner.

Giant Ushi oni can attack twice. If she hadn't summoned that skull I would've been able to take her out after demolishing that Ashoka pillar but with that crystal skull in the way said, Tanner.

Inmate #2: Ushi oni will have to attack it instead of her.

Inmate #1: so uh she basically saved herself from a big beating by taking a little medium-sized beating?

Yep except she made a major mistake said Tanner.

Inmate #2: what kind of mistake?

When ushi oni demolishes that pillar she'll take 2000 points of damage said, Tanner.

Sorry kiddo, I wish I could've given you a better deck said, Yanagi.

Don't give up on your deck now gramps said Yusei.

I place one card facedown and end my turn said Yusei.

A trap card now if only I could get her to use it thought Tanner.

Don't think that facedown card can save you girlie said, Tanner.


Scene change

This is the shrine of IIlaster said, Goodwin.

What are the little drawings? Asks Jack.

Their carvings Jack cravings narrate myths and legend, how the universe began, the dawn of time, the birth of civilization, the creation of my order, the great war of the demons said Goodwin.

Come, Jack, let me take you on a journey through time said, Goodwin.

Huh? Said Jack.

Long ago a pre-Incan civilization in South America the people of the stars built a giant building of stone known as the stairway of the dragon said, Goodwin.

Ook said, Jack.

The stairway was built in honor of the dragon star which was said to govern all of creation. All the wisdom of the star was handed down to their ruler the star dragon king. Lead the star and their king the people of the star built an incredible civilization. But then the gate to the shadow realm was opened. Legend tells of evil demons and spirits led by the demon lord engaging in a great war. The king climbed the stairway and begged the dragon star to help his people said Goodwin.

And the dragon star answers the king's cries. The great crimson dragon came down from above and swept over the land sealing the forces of evil deep beneath the earth said, Goodwin.

Like in the dirt said Jack,

Precisely said, Goodwin.

Behold said, Goodwin.

Are those the legendary Nazca lines? Asks Jack.

They are the seals of the crimson dragon said, Goodwin.


Scene change

Turn 5- Tanner.

Alright newbie my turn said, Tanner.

He draws.

The card he drew was Noblemen of crossout.

Let's see how much your little trinkets can stand up to this move said, Tanner.

Giant ushi oni tear down that Ashoka Pillar said, Tanner.

I activate the Totem pole trap card said Yusei.

How incredible said, Yanagi.

Totem pole blocks Giant Ushi oni's attack

Inmate #1: no way

Keep em coming Tanner because Totem pole can block your monsters up to 3 times said Yusei.

This is fantastic, with my deck you're gonna win said, Yanagi.

You think I didn't see that coming? Said Tanner.

I was countin on it said, Tanner.

Cause now I can build my Spiderweb castle said, Tanner.

And it's all thanks to you activating your trap card said, Tanner.

So now if your monster attacks it'll get caught in my web and only be able to use half its attack points but the best part i can also just the card to my graveyard and then jump past your defense for a direct attack said, Tanner.

I take it back kid, you're not gonna win said, Yanagi.

Now I place one card facedown and end my turn said, Tanner.

Bring it on girlie because my field is perfect. Thanks to Trap hole if you summon a new monster with 1000 or more attack points it'll get destroyed and if you summon some weaker one in attack position hoping for a straight-up brawl I can use mirror force to wipe em out before they even move thought Tanner.

This duel got me all fired up. I love it thought Tanner.

It Reminds me of better days thought Tanner.

Back when I was on my way to the top of speed world circuit thought Tanner.


Flashback start

Voiceover(Tanner): the roar of the crowd. The energy in the air. Heart pounding, blood pumping.

Voiceover(Tanner): it was the greatest feeling in the world,

Voiceover(Tanner): until I took a run for the championship and Jack Atlas took me out in one move.

Voiceover(Tanner): that was the most humiliating defeat of my career.

Guess you'll have to wait a little longer to take your victory lap, huh Tanner said, Jack.

Maybe next time I'll actually try said, Jack.

Voiceover(Tanner)" it was all downhill from there.

Flashback end


But I like this girl thought Tanner.

She reminds me of well me thought Tanner.

It's my move Tanner said Yusei.

Turn 6- Yusei

I know this deck won't let me down thought Yusei.

If I can get one monster on the field I can win this thought Yusei.

If not, I'm a goner thought Yusei.

She draws.

Inmate #1: uh oh she smiled.

I activate the Piri reis maps spell card said Yusei.

Inmate #2: what can she do with some old piece of paper?

It's not paper it's gazelle skin said, Yanagi.

Inmate #2: there he goes again.

Inmate #1: enough with lectures professor

The Piri reis map can show a monster with no attack points a clear path from deck to my hand said Yusei.

So does that mean you get to draw another card? Asks Tanner.

I'm not just drawing the card, I'm summoning it said Yusei.

Cabrera stone said Yusei.

Yusei's lp: 400-200=200

Inmate #2: what's a little rock gonna do?

It's a stone, the Cabrera stone to be exact said Yanagi.

Inmate #2: nobody cares old man.

This is an archloegolcal spectacle said Yanagi.

The Crystal skull, the Cabrera stone and Ashoka pillar i'm getting historical goosebumps said, Yanagi.

There's something I don't get, the downside of the map of yours is that you had lost half your life points in order to summon that rock you added to your hand said, Tanner.

That leaves with only 200 life points said, Tanner.

Why would you put yourself at risk like that to summon something with no attack points? Asks Tanner.

To win this duel said Yusei.

Sorry, Tanner but now I've gathered Crystal skull, ashoka pillar, Cabrera stone on my field together I can activate another card said Yusei.

It can't be said, Yanagi.

I activate the spell card Triangle O said Yusei.

What kind of hocus pocus is this? Asks Tanner.

Inmate #2: she's demolishing everything.

Amazing I can't wait to see what this can really do said, Yanagi.

Triangle O's power destroyed every card on the field and all the damage I would've taken because of the cards' effect gets dealt to you said Yusei.

Respect that Tanner said Yusei.

Winner: Yusei.

I don't believe it said, Tanner.

Inmate #2: Tanner are you ok?

Dollie that was stupendous I never seen dueling like that said Yanagi.

You never even attacked said, Yanagi.

I could hug you but don't worry I won't said, Yanagi.

I couldn't have done it without this awesome deck of yours said Yusei.

Actually, I will hug ya said, Yanagi.

Inmate #1: don't worry we don't care if she won she's still slime to us.

Inmate #2: and we're gonna take that treasure deck.

Hang on said, Tanner.

Inmate #1: hang on for what?

You won a duel without ever attacking and you won said, Tanner.

That's a pretty amazing thing to pull off and I know what i'm talking about kid said, Tanner.

The old man was right said, Tanner.

Right about what? Asks Yanagi,

I used to be a pro but I never dueled someone quite like you said, Tanner.

You're good said, Tanner.

So you got a name newbie? Asks Tanner.

It's Yusei said Yusei.

Tough name for a tough girl said, Tanner.

Hey gramps, I apologize for stepping on your cards said, Tanner.

I hope you learned your lesson Tanner said, Yanagi.

So take a look at these, aren't they wonderful? Said Yanagi.

You had me doubting their worth but Yusei showed me how special they are said, Yanagi.

My time in the spotlight is long gone but I wanna do everything I can to get you to the world of the pros, said Tanner.

What do you say you are interested in? Asks Tanner.

Very said Yusei.

guard: all alright alright. Break it up, fellas.

Guard: let's go 88 the chief you like to see you now.


Scene change

Many centuries have passed since the crimson dragon sealed the demon lord and his forced in the earth but those forces continue to draw energy from mankind. They feed off our sadness, our jealousy, our anger, our grief said Goodwin.

Soon the demon lord's forces will gain more power than ever have before. They will break the dragon's seal and return to pillage the earth said, Goodwin.

That's bad said Jack.

On the day the breaks and the demon lord resurrects my order will be prepared to summon the crimson dragon and protect humanity said, Goodwin.

But we must find the signers, those bearing the mark of the dragon-like you and that satellite Yusei said Goodwin.

So i'm suppose to save the world said, Jack.

Why didn't you say so said Jack?
