Yusei and Rainbow Dash stopped just outside of the plant in Neo Domino City, with Yusei noticing Jack on the road up above. "Jack…"

The king proceeded to laugh before saying, "Long time no see, Yusei." Jack stopped to give Yusei time to speak but he didn't. So, instead, Jack continued, "When I was looking at the moon, I had a feeling you would show up. How many years has it been?"

Yusei answered, "Two years."

"Yeah. Two years since you backstabbed him!" Rainbow yelled.

"So, you're not the only one with a strange girl plastered to you," Jack was intrigued. "Still, two years… You built a nice Duel Runner. I'm impressed."

"It's because you rode off with the one I made before," Yusei bitterly responded.

Jack proceeded to grin. "A king never lets a chance pass by."

"Wait, who is this girl you are talking about?" Rainbow demanded from the king.

"So, Jackie, where are we headed? Also, who are you talking to?" A familiar voice asked the king. When Rainbow looked up, she was quick to recognize her friend Pinkie Pie getting up and standing next to Jack, her grin growing to be even bigger upon noticing that Rainbow Dash was on the road below. "Rainbow Dash! So great to see you! Thanks for finding him for me! So, does this mean we're friends?"

"I told you before. A king doesn't need friends. Still, I suppose it is interesting that you two know each other," Jack said.

"Anyway, where is my old Runner now?" Yusei interrupted, wanting to know what happened to his Duel Runner.

Jack answered, "It broke down by now, of course."

Yusei and Rainbow proceeded to clench their fists upon hearing this. Yusei then demanded, "Where's my card?"

"Stardust Dragon?" Jack asked as he pulled it out of his pocket and held it out in between his index and middle finger.

"It was our dream," Yusei said.

"Dream?" Jack asked, confused.

"It was the dream of all my Satellite friends."

"You're still saying those childish things? Now that I'm king, this card is useless to me. You can have it back!" Jack flung the card back to Yusei who proceeded to catch the card and stared at it. "What's wrong? Put it in your Deck."

"Yeah, Yusei! Go ahead and put it in! This is what you wanted, right?" Rainbow Dash asked.

However, Yusei was quick to fling the card back to Jack, stood up, and said, "I'll get it back from you in a Duel! That's also why you came, right?"

Jack went from confused to grinning in an instant. "Fine. I'm going to enjoy having a Turbo Duel against you!"

Yusei and Rainbow Dash were following Jack and Pinkie Pie on their Duel Runner in order to find the location in which they were going to Duel.

"Look, Yusei! This is the skyline of Neo Domino City! Neo Domino City never sleeps. It keeps on pulsating and continues to expand. This city is alive and continues to grow endlessly. And from now on, I will continue to reign here as king! You can start to see it from here, Yusei," Jack said as Yusei turned his attention from Jack to the stadium up ahead. "It's Duel Stadium."

"It spins! Neo Domino City gives rise to infinite power because it spins! Its name is

"Moment." Neo Domino City created Moment, the ultimate energy development system, and it keeps spinning. The rotational power led to a huge leap in the development of the Duel Disk, bringing the Solid Vision system to a whole new level! Without the grace of Moment, the development of mankind is not possible," Zigzig explained in excitement, making several poses as he spoke, panting as soon as he was finished.

"Zigzig. As always, I fully understand your love for Moment. Please get to the point," Rex Goodwin said.

"I'm prepared," Zigzig said.

"Is what you have to say so important that you had to call us in the middle of the night?" Rex asked.

"Of course! Please listen and watch," Zigzig said as a red hologram of a blueprint appeared. "We at Kaibacorp's Moment Research Development Division, also known as MIDS, have finally completed the Neo Domino City Perfect Moment Project! So Neo Domino City now has the most powerful energy, which is also known as God's Intelligence!" Noticing the lack of enthusiasm with Rex and the others, he calmed down and said, "For specifics, please look at the documents while I explain."

A blue haired woman approached Rex and whispered something in his ear. "What?" Rex asked. "Zigzig, I apologize, but I must leave because there is a problem that I must deal with. I'm sorry, but I'm excusing myself." Rex said as he and the blue haired girl left.

"Understood," Zigzig responded.

As Rex and the woman named Mina left, Rex asked, "Why didn't you stop the king? If it's discovered that he has a connection with the people of Satellite, his glory that we built will crumble in an instant."

"I'm sorry. I did tell him that to try to stop him, but Master Atlas acts like this on perfect nights," Mina apologized. Rex suddenly grabbed Mina by the throat with his hand in anger.

"There is no need for excuses," Rex responded, with Mina nervously nodding. Satisfied with the response, Rex let Mina go and she backed away from Rex. "Please remember what I said."

Rex began to walk away, with Mina bowing and apologizing, "I'm sorry."

A purple haired man named Lazar was standing watching the workers below him when the door opening behind him suddenly caught his attention. When he turned around, he saw that Rex and Mina were there. "I've been waiting for you, Director," Lazar greeted Goodwin, while giving a disapproving look at Mina. Lazar then turned on the screen in the room, which showed Jack, Pinkie Pie, Yusei, and Rainbow Dash inside of the Duel Arena.

"The king is at Duel Stadium?" Goodwin asked.

"This Satellite person also drives a Duel Runner," Lazar explained.

"A perfect night…" Rex Goodwin muttered.

"Should I inform Security?" Lazar asked.

"No. Not yet," Rex responded.

Back in Duel Stadium…

Rainbow and Pinkie had gotten into the stands in order to watch the upcoming Duel while Jack and Yusei were on the track.

"This is my battlefield, Yusei. It feels good to be chased. It makes me feel that I'm the king. A king must always protect his status!" Jack waited for Yusei to speak, but decided to continue when Yusei said nothing. "Defending is more difficult than attacking. However, I'm the king because I fulfill those obligations!" Suddenly, the lights began to turn on as Jack got out a card. After Yusei got over the change in the lighting, he looked and saw that Jack was holding Stardust Dragon. "You've already lost your chance to get Stardust back! You made a foolish choice!" Jack said as he placed Stardust Dragon into his Deck.

Both Jack and Yusei prepared their Duel Runners for their Duel. "Now, let's have some fun, though it's a little sad that there are no spectators," Jack said.

Rainbow Dash yelled in response, "You'll be glad that there are no spectators when you lose!"

Jack was a little upset at the insult, but hid it well. He then pushed the button for Speed World to activate. "Duel Mode on. Autopilot Standby." Both Duel Runners were ready for the Duel. The sky around everyone turned purple as the Duel was about to begin.

"Duel!" Both Duelists yelled as they began driving.

"Challenger, you go first!" Jack offered to his former friend.

"My turn! I summon Quillbolt Hedgehog in Defense Position (800 Defense)." Yusei played.

"I haven't seen that in awhile. My turn. I summon Mad Archfiend in Attack Position (1800 Attack). Yusei, watch how the king Duels in amazement! Destroy it! Bone splash! Now Mad Archfiend's monster effect! You take piercing damage!"

Yusei

3000

Jack

4000

"Do you understand? By preempting your actions, I protect myself. You probably thought that even if you have weak monsters, you won't take damage as long as you put them in Defense Position. Those tiny seams eventually become large tears. You will never be able to reach Stardust!" Jack explained.

"You talk too much," Yusei simply responded.

"You tell him, Yusei!" Rainbow yelled. "Now, time to turn this Duel around!"

"Good luck to both of you!" Pinkie Pie cried out.

"Umm, Pinkie, who's side are you on?" Rainbow asked.

"Both sides, of course," Pinkie responded as Rainbow shook her head.

"Right off the bat, the pace belongs to the king. He uses his words and voice as weapons to overwhelm the challenger. That boy will not be able to defeat the king," Lazar said as he snickered. Rex, meanwhile, was watching without saying a word.

"My turn! I summon the Tuner monster Junk Synchron (1300 Attack)!"

"He's initiating his plan," Jack thought.

"With Quillbolt Hedgehog's monster effect, when a Tuner monster is on my field, I can summon it from the graveyard."

"I knew you would do that. Now do your tuning!"

"Here I go! Junk Synchron tunes Quillbolt Hedgehog! The stars come together to call forth a new power! Become the path that lights the way! Synchro Summon! Come, Junk Warrior (2300 Attack)!" Yusei played.

"You brought it out much earlier than I expected!" Jack noted.

"Overestimating yourself will lead to your self-destruction, Jack! Junk Warrior, Attack Mad Archfiend! Scrap Fist!" Junk Warrior punched out Mad Archfiend effortlessly.

"Great job, Yusei! Now, keep it up!" Rainbow Dash cheered Yusei on, while Jack seemed unconcerned.

"Come on Jack, you can still win!" Pinkie Pie cried out.

Yusei

3000

Jack

3500

"My turn!" Jack drew the card Spacegate and smiled. "I summon Twin-Shield Defender in Defense Position! Then I set one card and end my turn!"

"Why didn't he attack? What can that facedown card be?" Yusei thought.

"Now it's your turn, Yusei!" Jack reminded his opponent.

"From my hand, I summon Speed Warrior (900 Attack)! With Junk Warrior's monster effect, the Attack Points of Level 2-or-below monsters on my field are added to Junk Warrior's Attack Points. Power of Fellows (3200 Attack)!"

"Your strategies haven't changed at all," Jack noted.

Yusei growled,"Battle! With Speed Warrior's monster effect, its original attack points are doubled on the turn in which is summoned (1800 Attack)! Break through! Sonic Edge!" Speed Warrior destroyed Twin-Shield Defender, only for a strange energy to be left behind, which Yusei was not happy to see.

"It's Twin-Shield Defender's monster effect. When this card is destroyed in battle while it is in Defense Position, the Attack Points of one of your monsters is halved until the end of the turn (1600 Attack)," Jack explained.

"However, the monster you had as your shield is gone!" Yusei took a look at the facedown card Jack had. "I will attack without fear," Yusei thought. "Junk Warrior, attack the player directly!" Jack smirked upon hearing this. "Scrap Fist!"

Yusei

3000

Jack

"Hey, Rainbow. Have you noticed that all the cards that Jack has played so far are all cards that are in your Deck?" Pinkie Pie noted.

Rainbow noted this, but tried to deny it, "It's probably just a coincidence."

"You're no good," Jack replied to Yusei.

"What?" Yusei was confused.

"You look calm on the surface, but you quickly get hotheaded. That's the reason why you always lost against me!"

"What?"

"You are afraid of me! That's why you repeatedly become impatient and Attack and don't realize that I've been playing you like a puppet!" Jack revealed.

"Play me like a puppet?" Yusei thought.

"The requirements to use this have been met. I activate the continuous trap Spacegate!" Yusei and his monsters were all blinded by the light that formed. Eventually, the light cleared and two light orbs surrounded Jack's Duel Runner. "Stargate gains Gate Counters equal to the number of times your monsters battled this turn. You initiated battle twice. Therefore, it gains two Gate Counters!"

"I can't believe that Jack was able to trick Yusei like that!" Rainbow Dash yelled.

"I place one card facedown and end my turn," Yusei said as Speed Warrior's Attack Points returned to 900 and Junk Warrior's to 3200. "He lured me into attacking him directly." Yusei thought to himself.

"The pace is still with Atlas," Mina said.

"That boy isn't bad, but the king has played him like a puppet from the start, so he still has much to learn," Lazar laughed as Rex Goodwin just watched the Duel with interest.

Jack laughed as he said, "I sense it! I sense it, Yusei! You're unsure of yourself!" Jack proceeded to rush forward and steered his Runner so that it is going backwards down the glass of the track. "I pretend to be in trouble, but then with a brilliant counterattack, I bring catharsis to the crowd! This is how a king Duels!"

"You talk too much," Yusei simply responded.

"While the chased is full of confidence, the chaser is nervous! Yusei! Right now, you're the chaser and I'm the chased! My turn!" Jack yelled as he repositioned his Runner to drive forward again.

"Here it comes," Yusei realized.

"I activate a speed spell Speed Fusion! This card is a speed spell-specific fusion card. I can activate this when I have four or more Speed cards I'm going to fuse are these cards. I fusion summon by fusing Big Piece Golem and Medium Piece Golem together. Come, my servant. Multiple Piece Golem (2600 Attack)!" Jack yelled as he summoned his powerful fusion monster. He waited for Yusei to speak but he didn't say anything. "Multiple Piece Golem, destroy Speed Warrior!"

"I activate the trap card Defense Draw! When I take damage due to an attack by your monster, the battle damage becomes zero and I get to draw one card," Yusei responded to the attack.

"I knew that would be your facedown card. You always improvise to avoid danger. However, since Speed Warrior is gone, Junk Warrior's Attack Points decrease (2300 Attack)." Jack turned around to drive backwards yet again. "Now Yusei! The time has come! I'll show you how a king duels! At the end of the battle phase in which Multiple Piece Golem battled, I can undo the fusion to special summon the fusion-material monsters from the graveyard. Next up is Medium Piece Golem's (1600 Attack) monster effect. When Big Piece Golem (2100 Attack) is on my field, I can special summon a certain monster from my Deck. That monster is Small Piece Golem (1100 Attack)!"

"It's getting busy over there," Yusei commented on Jack's field.

"Wow, Rainbow Dash! I think I've seen a move like that before," Pinkie Pie said.

"It's familiar because I've done that move before! I can't believe it! Jack Atlas is using my cards!" Rainbow Dash bitterly yelled.

"Whoa Rainbow Dash! Maybe you should calm down. I know! How about we talk about what happened to us while we were separated?" Pinkie Pie offered.

"If it gets me to stop thinking about Atlas as much, then fine," Rainbow accepted.

"I haven't normal summoned yet this turn. I summon the Tuner monster Dark Resonator (1300 Attack)! Level 3 Dark Resonator tunes level 5 Big Piece Golem! The pulse of the king now forms a line here! Witness the power of the rumbling heavens! Synchro Summon! My soul! Red Dragon Archfiend (3000 Attack)!"

"Red Dragon Archfiend…" Yusei muttered.

"Yusei, look at the figure of the ominous and beautiful Red dragon Archfiend. However, this isn't the end. I've invited a special guest for tonight. I send Spacegate to the graveyard. With Spacegate, I can special summon a monster whose level is equal or less than the number of Gate Counters! I special summon the Tuner monster Sinister Sprocket (400 Attack)! This is a level 1 monster. And I use this to tune level 3 Small Piece Golem and level 4 Medium Piece Golem. Witness the wings guided by a great wind! Synchro Summon! Roar, Stardust Dragon (2500 Attack)!"

"Stardust…" Yusei muttered in awe at the beauty of his own monster as well as the issue of it being used against him.

"Director, this is…" Mina muttered.

"It's nothing to be surprised about. It's something that the king can do easily. Mona, even though you're always by the king's side, do you know anything about him?" Mina gave an angry glare at this remark. "Now… this is becoming fun, Director."

Rex Goodwin simply replied, "Let's watch them."

Jack proceeded to laugh heavily at the current situation. "Everyone who needs to be here are now present! I've raised the curtain on this party. Let Act 1 begin!" Jack went back to laughing.
