" you are not on your own this time , you have me and the rest of team 5ds "
As Yusei said that the rest of the team pulled up behind them
" Hey guys sorry to keep ya all waiting , trying to clear out the whole city is taken longer then we expected. They are in a bit of a state of shock after what was said on the speakers "
"Yusei, is what you told us about the Shadow Drones true? That they are gang members you and the others fought as The Enforcers?" Asked Akiza.
" yes , this is just something we have to deal with. I am ok since I have the power to deal with this , the Meklord is way more scary then these immortals. So this is not really my battle but for the leader of the enforcers. We just got drawn into their conflict. "
"The Leader of the Enforcers? You mean Kalin?" asked Akiza.
"How does he feel about all this?" asked Luna.
" All we can do is stand by his side really. This is something he as to deal with on his own. "
Kalin nodded. "This was a mess I started years ago. And now it's finally time to clean up that mess."
Crow , Jack and Yusei then rejoin team 5ds. " Kalin we will leave this to you , now lets find a way to break into that reactor site. As far as I know the main reactor and the four control centers are deep underground now "
"Alright, thanks Yusei. I think it's time for the 'Death God' to make an appearance."
" why are you still thinking that way ?. All we need to do now is to return that power back to the reactor that was sealed away "
"I have no choice. I won't be made a fool again."
" you are no death god , those are the earthbound immortals who reside in darkness. "
"Please Yusei. Listen to me. I've so far, and I won't stop until the spirits are at peace."
" It seems like words are wasted then , in that case I should show you what this light really is , I sense you still have darkness and with that still in your heart. The crimson dragon is not a god of death it creates life "
"What else can I do then?"
" You cannot call on the power of the crimson dragon if you still have darkness in your heart. In order to save those lost souls we need to turn this darkness into light. Come with me now... "
"You're right, Yusei. I'm coming."
Yusei then rides into the highway and presses a key on his D-Wheel to enter duel mode. He quickly summons stardust dragon and sets one card facedown. Yusei's determation ment he was serious and he will not hold back.
" that fake delusion you have in thinking you currently have the power to save those souls I will crush it right here "
"From those words, you should have been the leader of the Enforcers and not me. I set a monster and set 2 cards. I end my turn."
" back in the day , your words give me , Jack and Crow hope now all i see is a shadow of your former self from before that battle. Even when you are a dark signer you came at me with all you had. Where did that spirit go... ? "
Yusei then plays a combo with several cards in his hand and special summons a level 2 synchro tuner from his extra deck.
" Here I go at full power... Clear mind , "
Yusei's signer mark then glows as energy surrounds his D-Wheel
" level 2 formula synchron , Level 8 Stardust Dragon tuning ...Clustering crystal dreams, open the door to a new evolution! Become the path its light shines upon! Accel Synchro! Be born, Shooting Star Dragon!"
As he does so he vanishes and appears with a new dragon flying high above him...
" Kalin this monster is proof of what I have become "
"What?! Your Signer mark appeared! How?!" Kalin was shocked that Yusei was somehow able to summon the very monster that defeated him.
"Is this a duel I'm destined to fail?"
" Shooting star dragon effect activate , with this I check the top five cards of my deck for every tuner monster revealed my dragon can attack again , the cards are then returned to the deck and shuffled. "
Yusei then draws his card and reveals 3 tuners
" I drawn three cards this means shooting star dragon can attack three times "
"I activate the trap Infernity Reflector and discard my hand. Then, when a monster I control is destroyed by battle, I can Special Summon it and you take 1000 damage."
Yusei takes 1000 damage leveing him with 3000.
" That was only the first attack , I now attack again "
Kalin's monster was destroyed again. "Ugh, there is nothing I can do to stop your dragon..."
" lets go third attack "
"Ugh!" Kalin groaned as his life points were reduced to 0. His D-Wheel stopped and he sat motionless on it; his eyes closed.
Yusei then pulls the breaks as his D-Wheel begins to cooldown grinding to a stop.
" You cannot save those souls the way you are now. Only when you had truely defeat the darkness you have inside you can that be done. That darkness called fear. If not you will only become a vessel to the earthbounds again if you go back there again. I did this because I felt you are still not ready. "
"How can I overcome it? Dueling you guys again will only add to that fear. I overcame the ritual, yet I'm still not ready."
" only you can answer that " Yusei then responds and drives off to rejoin the others...
Kalin sits by himself as he watches his friend drive off. He then looks at Void Ogre Dragon.
Yusei rejoins team 5ds and talks to them " Kalin still has a lot to sort out with himself. Haveing earned that void ogre dragon was only the first step he cannot use its power fully. Jack and Crow keep an eye out on the guy. I only decided to stop him since I had a bad feeling about letting him enter that underground area again.
This is the same I felt against Iliaster. I had to use shooting star dragon against him "
"If ya say so, Yusei," said Crow.
Akiza stepped in. "Kalin did seemed quite determined earlier against those Shadow Drones. I wonder what happened."
" not sure he just did not feel the same to me now as he was before like during those days as team enforcer or a dark signer. "
"Maybe this whole battle is giving him bad memories of that incident. You should try cheering him up."
" well , from my experence I had fear over those meklords so my Accel Synchro failed on my first attempt. He cannot use the power of the crimson dragon that way , so this is not that simple. If he fears those memories he has to face them. "
Kalin mutters to his card. "Why can't I just overcome my fears of the Dark Signers? I just want to help my friends."
Jack and Crow then drive up to Kalin " you ok old friend ? "
"Jack? Crow? What are you doing? Came to lecture me?"
" well you just seem a bit out of it after that duel. He may seem friendly but Yusei is directly serious when ever he wants to be. He is the leader of team 5ds as well. You know he cares a lot about you and even that time when you are a dark signer me and Jack thought we should just give up on you but he went on thinking he can save you from the darkness.
He just did not want you to throw your life away. and Shooting star dragon is not the card he used to beat you with when you are a dark signer it is this one really. "
Crow then turns to Jack show him the card. Jack then reveals the monster 'savior red dragon"
" Yusei has one of these as well only his is linked to Stardust dragon "
"I understand he cares about everyone. But perhaps he's too serious to the point of it being a fault. All I want to do was to repay him back and free his father. I didn't intend to get all of you involved in this. "
" To him , nothing is more important then haveing friends and family. We been watching you battle , that card he just used shooting star dragon. It is a card that was created by him during a battle after we won against the dark signers.
We are not kids now , if this was Yusei speaking he will had just said your fear is whats holding you back as it is a limit you set for yourself. We know if he said something about meklords , those are cards that came from the future and it had the power to equip a synchro monster from their opponents field and gain its attack power. And that team that used it wish to destroy this city. "
"Holding me back?! If there's one thing I want to say to him now, he's the one holding me back! All I want to do now is use the power I obtained from the ritual to free his father, and this is the thanks I get? Perhaps I am nothing more than a burden to you all. Even Nico and West were more accepting of my powers than Yusei."
Jack and Crow then sigh " really I think or shall I say we think you are afraid of him and is trying to run away. Hesitate and you will lose more than just the duel this time. These are the dark signers. Those duel gangs who are out to get us.
During the final battle Yusei was able to unite the hearts of everyone even the gods we had battled against to save this city and the world. I do not know if the same crisis will occur again but if it does we will most likely be on our own "
"Yes, I am afraid of Yusei! Afraid of his Shooting Star Dragon! Why can't he accept me as the Death God?! I've tried everything I could to repay him after he saved me from the darkness! Perhaps I should just return to Satisfaction Town and leave him to deal with his father. I am nothing!"
" perhaps that is due to the final battle we had with the dark signers , when we battled Goodwin he seek to use the power of the immortals to destroy the world. That is no different then the god of death. This god of death you are referring to is the king of the netherworld. After destroying this world he will use the power of the crimson dragon to rebuild it. 'Yusei he decided fate is not someing played by god's hand but the bonds we created with other people' The crimson dragon as a result of that choose us and I was chosen as a signer during that battle.
We entrust our wishes to Yusei to defeat Rex Goodwin as the dark signer. Yusei then summons savior star dragon and defeats the earthbound immortal wiraqocha rasca. He summons the Crimson Dragon after to seal away that death god. "
"It's always Yusei this and Yusei that. I'll always be liability to you guys. If you'll excuse me, I will take my leave." Kalin starts up his runner and attempts to leave.
" We are no longer the same as we were back then , power is used by those without fear only by knowing your protental can it be fully realized. But if you want to leave , we will not stop you but that dragon you got at nazca stays with us. We need it to break into that underground area. He is not certain he will win this either but is going to try it "
Kalin thought long and hard about what his friends said. "Fine, I will stay and come with you. But don't expect me to speak to Yusei."
" Power will destroy the fools who want it excessively. The crimson dragon choose our bonds. So we are drawn into this mess like it or not. There is one thing that was said if you win we will let you do anything you want but the thing is you lost that duel so he is the leader now. The enforcers no longer exist that is something you have to accept. "
"I did not want to duel him, he made me do it. Please stop siding with him all the time and making it seem like he's always right. If there is one thing he got wrong, it's the mistake of harnessing duel energy like his father."
Jack then makes a point on this " Kalin that dragon cannot protect you from what you are about to face in this , if you come with us now you will become the host of the thing you are trying to help us seal away again. You will become a dark signer again... This is what he told us after the battle , and these spirits do not lie you notice it did not respond after that battle "
"I did notice that. But what am I supposed to do? Stand aside and do nothing?"
" that is for you to decide , what are you made of really. As for as what Yusei is to me he is my brother and so is Crow. "
"Just be warned I'm not going to speak to Yusei for a while. Not until I clear my head."
" whatever , is not like we can control what you do anyway "
Kalin nodded but said nothing.
Yusei looks over the plans on that underground area it has been years since he had been down there and the four control towers used to power the main site. He takes out stardust dragon... when team 5ds regroup he lets them know the plans
" this is a long shot , and there is no doubt a guardian will most likely waiting for us we need to activate the four towers just like before. After that is where that card we got at the nazca lines come in. with all of us we invoke the power of the crimson dragon. If this hunch is right we should be able to pierce the barrier and enter the reactor. In a way this is kinda like what team Ragnarok did to help us to enter the divine temple "
"Do we have only until sundown like last time?" asked Leo.
"And what will become of the citizens of Satellite?" asked Luna.
" In theory it is more like the opposite we do this at sundown till dawn , because we have to use darkness this time to do it. We dive into that darkness and use the power we have to reverse it.
The citizens of satellite I really do not know but try to limit the casualties "
"I never expected the former gang leaders would hold so much of a grudge against you and your former team members. I'm worried how strong they are going to be when we duel them," stated Akiza.
" fail and the holder of that card of darkness we got will become a dark signer and we can no longer save him like we did before. Its kinda why i did that he will become the vessel of the crimson dragon. Or he becomes a dark signer. much like me against those meklords if that power consumes him.
We are very much on our own team ragnarok is not going to be here to lend us a hand this time unless some world shakeing crisis occurs. "
"What are we waiting for? Let's save the world again!" exclaimed Leo.
" You all can raid any tower you wish. As for the worst possible outcome I will fight him if it comes to it. if there is no objections to this , well anyway you all ready ? we start at sundown to use this time to get ready. "
None of the team members had any objections.
Crow checks the clock. "We have about 2 hours left till the sun sets."
" we done this before we can do this again "
"Yes! We won't let anyone down!" cheered Luna.
" It will most likely be rideing duels this time seeing what has happened so far. The chances are those gangs we battle against as the enforcers will be similar to that gang Jack had fight alone. A fore warning that we cannot negate the effect of those earthbounds by destroying the field spell because the field spell is speed world 2 as all the D-Wheels be useing that now.
Good luck guys and remember we are not in this alone "
"We took them down with the power of our bond and the Crimson Dragon before! And we can do it again!" yelled Jack.
" Right Lets ride "
"Right!" shouted the team.
The team split off heading to the four control towers waiting for them are four dark signers. Again one of the fallen teams that the enforcers had defeated. They remember Jack , Yusei and Crow but not the twins who are riding their duel boards.
" We meet again , this time we crush you " they respond to the ones they know.
" who are you , it seems like you want to become food to the darkness " they then tell the twins
"Do you gang leaders really have to stoop this low to settle your score with the others?" asked Luna.
"We're part of Team 5 D's, that's right! boasted Leo.
why do you care , they ran us out of our homes so this is payback. we will have our vengeance one way or another.
"They told us they wanted to unite all of Satellite and make it a safer place. Is that true guys?" Asked Luna.
well that's what they say. the truth is they raid us one day. and is rather forceful. by destroying the duel disk of the people they beat. without offering to join them. and no pity to those they beat.
for us that is reason enough
Kalin closed his eyes when he heard the gangsters mention about the duel disks.
"I admit I was wrong to destroy the duel disks. Back then, I thought by doing so, no one would be able to oppose us. But now I realize, that by doing so, it only made us look bad."
" everyone had something to fight for even in a place with no laws. " That rider turns to the twins I take you both on.
on another control tower was Akiza since her card black rose dragon was needed.
" you will help the former team enforcers . I known you as the black rose you also a member of team 5ds. why are you fighting for them "
"I fight for them because they saved me from myself. Before I met them, people used to hate me and fear me because of my psychic powers. But Yusei taught me to embrace my powers and thanks to him, I have friends," stated Akiza.
" getting involved in something that does not involve you , then you will fall with them. "
at another tower was jack
" how do you feel about dragging your friends into a conflict that does not involve them. in any case we will beat the inforcers this time"
"Hmph, why my friends are doing here is none of your concern. If you really think you can beat me, then bring it on!" yelled Jack.
yusei respond to his opponent " I know what he did was wrong but at that time he was the leader since no one can beat him. "
Crow and Kalin wait for the others near the site of the main reactor as they did the signer mark on crow begins to glow
they are then approached by the remaining 3 dark signers.
" kalin you wish to be a signer and yet you call yourself a death god. that signer was right to stop you that dragon is not what you really want and cannot protect you it is this one "
the one speaking is one of the gang leaders that the enforcers beat. he revealed the condor earthbound used by goodwin.
use this and abandon them you know you want it.
if kalin turns to crow all that he will see is that his friend is Frozen in place.
Kalin narrowed his eyes when the Dark Signer mocked his nickname. "I called myself a death god because ever since I was revived by the Crimson Dragon, I dedicated my self to helping lost souls find peace."
When he noticed Crow spaced out in fear, Kalin cried: "Crow! What's wrong?!"
" Ah well.. we can see the darkness in your heart. You have the signer dragon 'void ogre dragon' that card is powerless since it draws power from the crimson dragon , Crow cannot hear you the crimson dragon has no place in the hearts of people with darkness. But I am sure he is calling out your name. Team 5ds abandoned you , they are holding you back , You fear them , you hate them. Sharpen that rage into a weapon and destroy them and this city it has turn its back on you. "
"Liar! My team never abandoned me! I went to Crash Town to punish myself for my mistakes as a Dark Signer. But they saved me from the darkness!"
"And as for the city, can't you see Satellite and New Domino is now one and the same again? It's all thanks to Team 5D's that allowed this to happen! It's you who is filled with hatred for what my former team did growing up!"
" I was not refering to your former team its Yusei and his current team 5ds that held you back you fear him really , and after that last battle you are in that made the crimson dragon abandon you , you still believe you can be a signer when you cannot use that power anymore. Then let the truth be revealed in this battle lets throwdown "
Kalin gripped his harmonica and muttered to himself. "Crimson Dragon...if you can hear me, please answer my call. Is what the Dark Signer say is true? Am I truly worthy of your power?"
Crow continues to call out to Kalin but his call falls deaf since he cannot enter the same subspace Kalin is currently in.. Crow curses under his breath...
" Darn it , Yusei was right Kalin cannot use the power of the crimson dragon in his state. That card is powerless in his hand and I dont have the power to break into this subspace. Unless he defeats the darkness in his heart. "
His mark of the dragon resonates with the rest of team 5ds so they can sense his emotions.
The dark signer then laughs " Void ogre dragon may be a card of darkness but its spirit is linked to the crimson dragon. It is light and its power and the earthbounds do not go well together. Even if you summon it in battle its spirit will abandon you "
"How do we reach him?" asked Akiza.
"Everyone! Our marks! They're glowing!" exclaimed Luna.
Meanwhile in subspace, Kalin gritted his teeth at the Dark Signer's mocking.
his mouth was dry and nothing seemed to come out of it.
" Its up to him , we cannot do anything. Kalin his fear of the past and recent emotions caused the crimson dragon to abandon the guy , if anything I think the crimson dragon felt betrayed. Similar to Goodwin when we defeat him "
Luna remarked. "But we can't abandon him! Let's focus all our minds on him and perhaps we can reach him through the darkness!"
Kalin's mind flashed back to his days as the leader of the Enforcers.
" I tryed that , but the crimson dragon and those earthbounds are eternal enemies. I can see the guy but I cannot reach out to him and are you guys in the middle of a battle focus on that "
Leo , Luna , Jack , Aki and Yusei are in four sepperate battles when the opponent then mocks them " Kalin choose his path the truth is revealed he is one of us again because he fears your power team 5ds , the crimson dragon abandoned the guy he is powerless as the fear will eat his heart turning it to darkness "
Past Kalin: "If we destroy their duel disks, no one can oppose us! We'll be the strongest team in all of Satellite!"
Present Kalin: "No! That was a mistake I did in the past! I can see why these gangsters have such a strong grudge against us. Crimson Dragon, please forgive me and all the sins I have committed..."
" now let this truth be revealed , battle me and you will see "
The dark signer then activates his duel disk " win and you are freed , lose and you become a shadow drone "
"I guess I have no choice..." muttered Kalin to himself as he activated his duel disk.
" I play the field magic Earthbound geoglyph , next i play the magic card fires of doomsday to special summon 2 tokens. I release these tokens to advance summon descend earthbound immortal wiraqocha rasca "
Crow can only watch powerlessly as the battle starts. " good luck friend , but i know team 5ds will think about something. But if you cannot defeat the darkness this time i dont want to think what may happen "
"So that was the Earthbound Immortal Goodwin used...and to think this new Dark Signer was able to summon it so soon..."
"No! I can't doubt my self! I set one monster face down and play the spell, Infernity Launcher. I then send Infernity Archer to the graveyard and set 2 cards."
" once per turn i can skip my battle phase and your life become 1 , Earthbound immortal let loose your wrath. I throw down 2 facedowns and end my turn "
"What?! No...this can't be...if I lose, I'll fail everyone I care about...it all comes down to my last draw..."
" make your move "
"Yusei...Jack...Crow...if you can hear my thoughts now...now would be a good time. We promised to make Satellite a safer place and you don't want to let me down..."
" if you don't make your move I just finish you off right here. " The dark signer then draws and holds the card. He then commands the attack to attack directly with the earthbound's effect along with the protection of the field magic.
"I draw! I use Infernity Launcher to send Infernity Wildcat to the Graveyard! And now that my hand is empty, I can use Launcher's extra effect to send it to the Graveyard and Special Summon Wildcat and Archer! Next, I Flip Summon Infernity Necromancer!
I then tune Wild cat and Necromancer to Synchro Summon Infernity Doom Archfiend ! I now activate Doom Archfiend's effect! I negate Wiraqocha Rasca's effect! And since I have no cards in my hand, I can destroy it!"
The effect destroys the earthbound but leaves 2 cards on the field of the Dark Signers backrow.
" reverse card open revival of the earthbound. " the duelist targets the immortal and special summons it back to the field.
"I activate a trap! Infernity Break! I remove Launcher from play to destroy your Earthbound Immortal!"
Again the effect destroys the earthbound but the duelist this time plays contaminated earth " return to the field earthbound immortal "
"Darn it!" Kalin's eyes fell on his last remaining card.
" Is that all you got ? "
Kalin said nothing as he stared at the ground.
" Then accept the truth you are given " as the duelist then plays one of the cards in his hand earthbound whirlwind
" now you have no hope of fighting back "
The sight falls to a concerned Crow as he pounds away on a invisable barrier " Kalin , How could you be so stubborn "
Akiza: "No! Did Kalin lose?!"
The effect of the magic wipes the field clean and leaves his opponent open to a direct attack ending the duel. The impact of the attack forcefully throws Crow out of the subspace and into a nearby wall...
Crow grits his teeth and gets up finally able to call out to his friend now they are returned back to their world.
