Crow: 2600 LP
Greiger: 1800 LP
Crow's field: Blackwing - Armor Master, Blackwing - Gale the Whirlwind
Greiger's field: Dark Flattop
Crow: That's quite the ship Greiger. It's a shame I'm gonna have to sink it along with all your life points.
Greiger: We'll see about that. Because of Darksea Rescue, if it's sent to my graveyard for a synchro summon, I can draw 1 card. In addition, if the monster I synchro summoned was called out in defense mode, I can draw another card. With that out of the way, I activate Dark Flattop's special ability, which means I get to bring Sky Fire back from my graveyard.
Crow: You've gotta be kidding me! And I just got rid of it!
Yusei: And you're gonna have to keep taking out unless you find a way to deep six Greiger's Dark Flattop.
Greiger: Welcome back, Flying Fortress SKY FIRE!
Level 8/Wind/Machine
ATK 3000/DEF 2500
Crow: I can't say you've been missed.
Greiger: And now that he's back, I'll celebrate with a bang by using his effect to destroy your Blackwing - Armor Master.
Sky Fire unleashed a barrage of bullets on Armor Master, destroying him.
Greiger: And with him out of the way, I can now set my sights on the only monster you have left.
His monster launched a missile at Gale the Whirlwind, destroying it and sending Crow spinning out of control.
Crow: 900 LP
Crow SPC: 4
When they caught up to him, he was lying face-down in the street and his duel runner was lying on its side.
Yusei: Crow!
Greiger: Don't even bother trying to get back up. I'm afraid your runner's down for the count and so are you.
Alex: Crow, are you okay?
Crow: Stay back, if you interfere, I'll lose. And losing isn't an option.
Greiger: Well, from the way things look up here, neither is winning.
Alex: Crow this is crazy, let me take over for you. I'll even use your deck.
Greiger: You should take your friend's offer.
Crow: No way. I owe it to the kids to see this through myself.
He made it to his duel runner but collapsed against it.
Alex: Crow, don't be foolish, you can barely even stand up, and what about your duel runner?
Crow: She may be down, but she's not out yet.
Crow twisted and the throttle and his duel runner righted itself and made a U-turn to pick up Crow.
Crow: See, what did I tell ya?
He started walking towards his duel runner but collapsed before he could make it.
Yusei: Crow!
Greiger: Looks like he's down for the count, and if he can't duel, then he loses.
Alex: No he won't. Because I'm taking over for him.
Greiger: Fine by me. Just don't beat yourself up when I win and you become a Dark Signer.
Alex started to walk towards Crow's duel runner.
Crow: Alex, don't do this. I can still-
Alex: Crow, you did great, now take a rest. I promise that Greiger won't win, and I'll beat him using your cards. Consider this my way of thanking you for helping me find my way off the same path as Greiger.
Greiger: A touching moment, now let's get on with it.
Alex: Fine by me, just don't lose your head when I beat you Greiger.
Greiger: Big words. Let's see you back them up.
Alex: I've beaten you once before and I can do it again.
Greiger: Well, while not the circumstances I would've preferred, I guess we finally got to have our rematch.
Alex: Looks like it.
He took off, Greiger following close behind.
Greiger: It's a shame you couldn't see this duel to the end yourself Crow. I know that if you had the choice, you would've never backed down, because like me and Alex, you're fighting for the memories of those you care about. Although we grew up in different parts of the world, we shared a common goal. Like you, I hoped that dueling would provide an out to the life that had been dealt to my friends and family. I believed that if I shared my knowledge of dueling with those close to me, that someday their dreams of a better life would come true. But because of Goodwin, their dreams vanished along with their home. I place one card face-down and end my turn.
Alex: It's my move.
Alex SPC: 5
Greiger SPC: 5
Alex: I've gotta figure out a way to take down his Flying Fortress Sky Fire and his Dark Flattop. If I take out one without the other, I'll lose next turn. Wait, with this card, I have a chance. I place one card face-down and end my turn.
Yusei: I hope Alex knows what he's doing.
Greiger: Is that all?
Alex SPC: 6
Greiger SPC: 6
Greiger: Looks like someone's too scared to attack.
Alex: Remember who you're talking to. We'll see who's too scared to attack, after all, don't forget about my two face-downs. If Greiger attacks, his monster is going down.
Greiger: I activate Sky Fire's special ability. By discarding a card, I can destroy one of your face-downs, so how about the one you set last turn?
Sky Fire fired at the card in question, revealing it to be Mirror Force.
Alex: No!
Greiger: The trap card Mirror Force. If I had attacked carelessly, then I would've lost my monster. But now there's nothing protecting you, and due to the effect of the Darksea Float I discarded, I can draw 1 card.
Alex: Then come and get me!
Greiger: If you insist, Flying Fortress SKY FIRE, attack directly and end this duel!
Yusei: Alex!
Greiger: It's over!
Alex: Are you sure about that?
Greiger: What?
Alex: I play the trap Blackwing Backlash! If you attack me directly when there are 5 or more Blackwing monsters in my graveyard, all your monsters are destroyed.
Greiger: Say what?!
Alex: Say goodbye to both your monsters.
A blast shot from his trap, destroying both of Greiger's monsters.
Greiger: How could this have happened?
Alex: It's your own fault. Maybe next time you won't go around underestimating me or my friends.
Greiger: Funny, I was about to say the same thing to you. I play the Contaminated Earth trap card!
Alex: What's it do?
Greiger: Since you destroyed 2 of my monsters, including a level 8 or higher monster, I can summon an Earthbound Immortal from my deck.
Alex: Not this again.
Yusei: I was afraid of this.
Greiger: Meet my Earthbound Immortal Chacu Challhua!
Level 10/Dark/Fish
ATK 2900/DEF 1600
Greiger: Luckily for you, since he was summoned by Contaminated Earth, he can't attack or use his effects this turn, so I end my turn.
Alex: Well, here's hoping third time's the charm. I draw!
Alex SPC: 7
Greiger SPC: 7
Alex: I better think this out. Greiger's got the lead in life points, not to mention he's got an Earthbound Immortal out. I gotta beach that thing, or I'll be washed up. Wait, this card is just what I need. I summon Blackwing - Fane the Steel Chain in attack mode.
Level 2/Dark/Winged Beast
ATK 500/DEF 800
Greiger: If that's all you have to attack with, then maybe you should just pull over and surrender.
Alex: No dice Greiger. Fane the Steel Chain, attack him directly!
His monster threw a kunai at Greiger, striking him in the chest.
Greiger: 1300 LP
Greiger: Oh please, that didn't even sting.
Alex: No, but this might. I activate my monster's special ability. When it attacks you directly, it can switch one of your monsters into defense mode and keep it there until the end of my next turn, which means your Earthbound Immortal can't attack me next turn.
Crow: Way to go Alex!
Alex: I place one card face-down and end my turn.
Greiger: It's my move then.
Alex SPC: 8
Greiger SPC: 8
Greiger: You may have forced my monster into defense mode, but who said he had to be in attack mode to deal out damage? By skipping his attack for the turn, you get slammed for damage equal to half his defense points.
The dorsal fin of his monster appeared out of the ground and headed towards Alex.
Alex: This is gonna hurt.
The fin collided with him, causing him to lose his balance a little bit.
Yusei: Hang in there!
Alex: 100 LP
Greiger: Now I summon Darksea Rescue in attack mode.
Level 1/Dark/Machine
ATK & DEF 0
Greiger: Now I activate the continuous trap Basara. By sacrificing one of my monsters, I can destroy a monster with a higher level and deal 800 points of damage to its controller, so I release my Darksea Rescue in order to destroy your Fane the Steel Chain.
A column of fire shot form his trap at Alex's monster.
Yusei: If Alex doesn't stop this, he's done for!
Alex: Which is why I play the Explosion Guard trap card. With it your effect is negated, and you get slammed with 500 points of damage.
Greiger: 800 LP
Greiger: I should've expected a move like that from you. I end my turn.
Alex: It's my turn. I've got one shot at this. I've got one trap left in my hand. I have to draw the right card, for Crow and everyone else whose fate is riding on this. Here goes everything. I draw. Just what I needed.
Alex SPC: 9
Greiger SPC: 9
Alex: I set a card face-down and summon Blackwing - Blizzard the Far North in attack mode.
Level 2/Dark/Winged Beast
ATK 1300/DEF 0
Alex: And due to his special ability, I can summon a level 4 or lower Blackwing from my graveyard in defense mode, like Bora the Spear.
Level 4/Dark/Winged Beast
ATK 1700/DEF 800
Alex: And now I tune Fane and Shura with Blizzard in order to create Blackwing - Silverwind the Ascendant!
Level 8/Dark/Winged Beast
ATK 2800/DEF 2000
Yusei: Alright, with 2800 attack points, Alex can finish Greiger in one hit!
Greiger: Except it can't attack.
Alex: Why is that?
Greiger: Due to Chacu Challua's special ability, if it's in defense mode, you can't conduct your battle phase.
Alex: In that case, I can activate Silverwind's effect. By cashing in his attack this turn, I can destroy up to two monsters whose defense points are less than his attack points.
Greiger: But that means.
Alex: That your immortal is history, and so is this shadow duel. Now Silverwind, take down his Earthbound Immortal.
Silverwind raised his sword and was about to slice through Grieger's monster when the image of two children appeared inside, a boy and a girl.
Girl: Don't do this.
Alex: Who are they?
Children: Please, help us get back to our village.
Alex: Village? Wait, could you be?
Greiger: Enough stalling Alex. If you're not gonna finish your move, then allow me to.
Alex: Greiger, look at your Earthbound Immortal.
Greiger: What are you playing at?
Yusei: There's kids up there, please just look for yourself.
Greiger: Fine.
Greiger looked up and saw numerous people trapped inside his Earthbound Immortal, including his siblings Max and Annie.
Children: Greiger, it's us, please help.
Greiger: This can't be.
Alex: Greiger, are they from your village?
Greiger: Yes, but why would they be inside my Earthbound Immortal? Unless, the Crimson Dragon didn't destroy my village, the Dark Signers did!
Yusei: Greiger, now that you've figured out the truth, you have to stop this duel!
Greiger: Yusei, I'm sorry, I'll forfeit this duel so that-
?: You'll forfeit nothing. This is nothing but a Signer trick. They are your true enemy, so show them and their comrades no mercy, and send them all to the Netherworld.
Suddenly, Greiger's eyes glowed purple.
Greiger: I'm afraid your tricks won't stop me from sending you all to the Netherworld.
Alex: Greiger, you have to stop!
Greiger: Get out of my head! Alex, you have to finish the duel. It's the only way to release my family and friends. Don't worry about me, just save them!
Alex: I will.
Greiger: Thank you. Aaaaah! It's my turn, I draw! And I switch Chacu Challua into attack mode. Now, attack Alex directly!
Crow: Alex, I know you can win this!
Greiger: This duel is over!
Alex: It will be when I activate the trap Parasite Mind! Your Earthbound Immortal may be immune to my spells and traps, but not yours. And this trap lets me take advantage of that by using the effect of your Basara for myself.
Greiger: Say what?!
Alex: I sacrifice Silverwind in order to destroy your Earthbound Immortal!
His monster was turned into a pillar fire and was launched at Greiger's monster, piercing through it and releasing the spirits of the people trapped inside.
Greiger: 0 LP
Winner: Alex
Everyone stopped where they were and Greiger fell off of his duel runner.
Alex: Greiger!
Everyone ran up to him.
Greiger: Thank you Alex. Because of you, my people were able to return home.
Alex: No problem. You would've done the same for me.
Greiger: Stay strong. Defeat the Dark Signers and save your family. You too Crow.
Crow: You can count on it.
Greiger: Yusei, thank you for helping me to see the truth, and for freeing me from the darkness of my heart.
Yusei: Of course.
Greiger: Stand strong, and most of all, stand together. For when you do, you hold more power than the Dark Signers ever will. Farewell my friends.
He turned into dust and faded away.
Alex: We won't let you down, I promise.
Yusei: You're right, we won't stop until the Dark Signers are defeated.
Back in Greiger's village, all the people had been returned safely.
Max: What happened sis?
Annie: I think we've been saved everybody!
Max: So we're home?
Annie: You betcha.
Just then, a shooting star flew overhead.
Annie: Check it out. That's a huge falling star.
Max: You think Greiger can see it too? He always loved watching the sky at night.
Annie: You know what? I bet he can.
Back in the Satellite, everyone had regrouped and were talking strategy.
Crow: So is Kalin next Yusei?
Yusei: Yes. We have some unfinished business to attend to.
Hey everyone. So I had made a poll to let you all choose what I would upload after this series ended, but seeing as only one person has voted so far, I may very well just upload what I see fit. I hope you all have a great day.
