The Story picks up again not in the Kiba Dome but out front by the entrances where Hunter Pace ponders on a few thoughts
"Jack Atlas. I can't believe you didn't invite me to your little party, oh well it'll be fun crashing It." he says laughing
He rides his duel runner full speed towards the stadium entrance
"Hey stop right there." One of the surrounding guards tried to stop him
"I don't think so." Hunter says jumping over them and riding into the stadium
In the stadium halls a group of guards coming running up one guard in particular who had flaming red hair and sunglasses on. If you hadn't already guessed it was Hunter pace in disguise
"Quick he went this way." The group of guards run down the hallway
"We got this area blocked off go that way." Hunter said pointing down a random hallway
"You heard the man let's go." The leading guard said before all of them disappear down the other hallway
Hunter laughs "That was too easy."
Then he hears somebody walking down the hallway in his direction and goes to hide in the nearby closet it was Lazar and he was talking to Shira about the next duel
"Now listen here. Your dueling against Yusei Fudo and on an off the record duel he defeated Jack Atlas, but it's crucial that you bring out his signer mark."
"Don't worry I will." Shira replied without a moment's hesitation
"Good."
They walk off with Shira heading towards the duelist lounge and Lazar returning to the tower
"So somebody defeated Jack huh." Hunter said to himself before laughing quietly
Back out in the main part of the stadium the next duel of the tournament
"Ok ladies and gentlemen were ready for the first turbo duel of the tournament please welcome Yusei Fudo."
Yusei drives out of the tunnel and parks at the starting line while his friends get set to cheer him on
"Ok now its Yusei's turn to win one." Dawn said
"Yeah." Luna replies holding her head
"Hey Luna are you ok." Leo asked
"Yeah it's just a headache." She replied
"If you say so." Dawn finished
"Now it's Yusei's turn." Tanner said crossing his arms
"I know I can't wait to see Yusei turbo duel."
"Yeah go Yusei." Leo cheered
"And here comes his opponent Shira." The MC said
Shira rides out
"So you're Shira huh." Yusei said
He doesn't reply
"Ummm ok." Yusei said looking forward
"On your marks, get set, turbo duel!" shouted the MC
They take off and Shira is revealed to be...
"Surprise, surprise." Says Hunter
"That's not Shira! That's the former champion Hunter Pace." Said the MC
"Don't worry Yusei you didn't want to duel Shira he was a real pushover kind of like Trudge." Said Hunter
"Ummm I'm not sure what's going on here but I th-." The MC stammers until Goodwin appears before him on monitor
"If you're waiting for my approval then." He nods and disappears
"Ok the director has approved of Hunters challenge."
"So what will it be Yusei will you accept my challenge." Hunter offers
"Sure Hunter lets duel." Yusei agrees
"Alright that's the spirit I was looking for." Hunter says with a smile
In the duelist lodge
"Beat him Yusei." States Dale watching the duel
"Oh I wouldn't worry about that Dale." Garrett assures him
'It's that duelist again, Garrett was it. There's something different about him, in a good way of course he's just got that aura about him and Yusei has it too.' Akiza thought to herself while watching him with wondering eyes
"I'm going first Yusei."
"That's fine by me."
"And I summon my burning skull head in atk mode(3/1000/800) and I end with 3 cards faced owns your up."
"I go."

"Arg(LP2300)."
"Next my trap card activates speed booster so you take damage equal to the difference in our speed counters x100."
"Ahhh(LP2000)."
"Now I end with a face down your move."
"It's my move now." Yusei said

"(LP1400) err."
"(LP1900) now I remove my skull flame from play in order to summon my speed king skull flame(10/3000/2000) now I attack with him."
"I activate scrap iron scarecrow to stop your attack."
"Then I use the effect of speed booster."
"Ahhhh(LP900)."
"Now for my monsters ability you take 400 points of damage for each burning skull head in my graveyard."
"Ahhh(LP500)"
"I end my turn."
"Then I go." Yusei said drawing a card
Inside the duelists lodge
"Yusei seems to be in some trouble now." Dale said with his hand on his chin to look like he's thinking
"He'll get out of this. I know he can. I don't know how but I can feel it inside of me." Garrett replied
"What do you mean?" Dale asked
"I'm not sure but I do know Yusei will win this duel."
"There's no way."
"Just watch and see." Garrett finished
Speed counters y 8
Speed counters h 12
"I play the speed spell shift down by giving up 6 counters I can draw 2 cards." Shouted Yusei

Yusei explained
"Nooo." Hunter exclaimed
"And now because I activated a spell card nitro warrior gains 1000 atk points(3800)"
"Oh no."
"Nitro attack!"
"Ahhh(LP1100) I'm still ahead."
"Now your junk synchron switches to atk mode and I can atk again."
"Wait can't we be friends." Hunter shouted before his LPs hit zero
"And it's over. Yusei Fudo has advanced to the next round." The MC said
In the stands all of Yusei's friends cheer for him
"NO WAY, you were right." Dale says in shock
"I told you Dale." Garrett said
"But how is that possible."
"I think it something to do with that mark that appeared on my arm, but I can't be sure." Garrett explained "I was able to feel when Yusei was in trouble almost like I was inside of his mind."
"That's Awesome!" Dale said "Do you think you could get inside my head and help me win my duels."
"No Dale I won't cheat for you besides I think it only works with other people that have this mark." Garrett said
"Man that bites." Dale said
On the other side of the room Akiza was having different thoughts
'Wow Yusei's an amazing duelist that's for sure. Just like Garrett and I think it's kind of cute that they use the same cards in their decks. Whoa, wait a minute what am thinking I'm on a mission to take down Goodwin not to make friends besides I don't need them anyways.' She thought before leaving the room to make her way down to the dueling arena for her duel.
Garrett sees her leaving 'Akiza's dueling next which means it's time to find out if my theory was correct.' he thought going to leave also
"Hey Garrett where are you going." Dale said
"Just for a walk I'll be back don't worry." He reassures him
We rejoin Yusei as he makes his way over to Hunter who was currently sitting on the ground
"Well Yusei you beat me but I'm not going to take this loss siting down. Uhh probably should have stood up before I said that." Hunter said
Yusei nods
"Hey Luna your head feeling any better." Dawn asked standing up to stretch a little
"Maybe a little." She replied
"You sure you don't want to go to the infirmary. Because I'll be more than happy to take you there." Dawn asked
"Yeah I'm fine really." Luna responded
"So up next is Akiza right." Tanner said
"Who's that." Yunagi said
"I don't even know myself."
"I know we've seen her before but where." Leo pondered
"Yusei over here!" Garrett shouts running out onto the track
"What is it Garrett?" He responds
"Akiza's dueling next."
"Oh yeah that's right she is." Yusei said
Hunter: hey your Garrett Hughes right?" Hunter said walking into their conversation
"Yeah that's me."
"I saw your first duel and I have to say that was mighty impressive."
"Thanks."
"Maybe the two of us can duel sometime?" Hunter asked sticking his hand out
Garrett smiles and shakes his hand "I'll be looking forward to it."
"Then I accept your challenge until next time." He said as he walks out
"Anyways you were saying." Yusei started
"Akiza is dueling next and if my hunch is right then this whole stadium could be in danger."
"Your right but what can we do?"
"I'm going up to the stands to make sure our friends don't get hurt." Garrett informed
"Should I pass this information on to Dale."
"It would be appreciated thanks." Garrett said running off
"Man what a day." Yusei said walking in the opposite direction.
"So that's what Garrett's up to." Dale said as he put the recent events together in his head
"Yup we don't know how dangerous this next duel could end up being so we better just play it safe." Yusei agreed
"I couldn't have said it any better myself." Dale said
Changing the scene back to the stands our heroes were having a normal conversation until Dawn notices something
"Hey look someone's coming up here."
"Who?" Luna asked
Dawn sweatdrops, "Its Garrett."
"Garrett!" Yunagi shouted
"What's he doing up here." Tanner asked
"Maybe there letting me duel again and he's just the messenger." Said Leo with stars in his eyes
"Yeah keep on dreaming Leo." His sister said
Garrett walks up to them.
"Hey guys how's it going." He said
"Garrett?" Leo said
Dawn giggles "Why are you here?"
"Well I have a hunch, and if I'm right then this whole stadium is in trouble." He explained to witch everybody
"What kind of trouble are we talking about here?" Tanner questioned looking serious
"It's about Akiza." He responded looking out toward the stadium
"I knew it we've seen her before somewhere right Garrett."
"You're exactly right Leo." Garrett said
"Where have we seen her before then?" Dawn asked tilting her head to the side
"Maybe this will ring a bell." He looked at the ground before saying suddenly "The Black Rose."
This causes Dawn gasp "It's her!"
"This is bad she could tear this whole stadium apart in just one duel." Tanner realized
"But we have Garrett here. He can just beat her in a duel again." Leo proposed
"Yeah I see the problem in that." Yunagi said
"Who's the Black Rose?" Luna asked
"It's the duelist that Garrett beat a few weeks ago and the person who nearly killed him." Dawn said beginning to fear the worst
"If that's the person you told me about Dawn then what can we do to stop her." Luna said
"Like I said it might not even be her we'll just have to wait until she duels." Garrett said
"But what if it is." Leo asked
"Then we might not see the end of this tournament Leo." Yunagi
"Yunagi's right I mean we've all seen her destructive powers up close. This could get ugly."
"That's why I came up here, to make sure nothing bad happens to you guys." Garrett said
"Thanks Garrett I knew we could count on you." Leo said smiling
Dawn looks down blushing "Yeah."
"ok ladies and gentlemen it's time for the final duel of first round and the final duel of today it's the moment we've all been waiting for lets meet the duelists." The MC says as the platform containing Akiza rises up.
"First up its Akiza." The MC says but then adds "Not much is really known about her other than her name. So we'll just have to watch and see what kind of duelist she really is."
Akiza doesn't say anything she only looks ahead with a determined look on her face
"And facing her in the next duel is Commander Koda. He is New Domino Cities best when it comes to profiling always being able to lock the criminals away." The MC introduces
The second platform rises up and Koda appears to be laughing quite hysterically at that.
"Well well well Akiza. It appears we meet again, or would you prefer the name Black Rose." Koda said through a smirk
Akiza gasps "You know."
"Oh my goodness! It appears the infamous Black Rose Witch is among us what will Commander Koda do?" the MC shouts into the
All throughout the entire stadium the crowd has erupted in powerful insults and jeers all pointed in the direction of the Black Rose that most of them would love to see clipped
"The Black Rose!" shouted one fan
"Boo!" Other people start to shout
"Go home witch."
"We don't like you." The crowd insults
"Man sometimes I hate it when I'm right." Garrett said easily feeling bad for the girl
"This isn't good though." Dawn added
"Yeah with the Black Rose down there dueling and Garrett not on the other side who knows what could happen." Leo protested
"Nothing good I'm sure." Yunagi said
"What's the plan Garrett." Tanner said looking at him
"All of us will stay up here and just watch out for debris and attacks. Things could get wild." He replied
"I kind of feel bad for her though." Luna said
"Yeah I know what you mean I do too." Dawn agreed
"Yeah it's not easy when everybody is turned against you like this." Tanner said
Garrett suddenly snaps his fingers "So that's the reason why it's just got to be."
Dawn looks over at him in shock "What, what is it?"
"I know why she does what she does." He started
"Why?" Luna asked
"Is it because she's a monster." Leo asked
"She's no monster; she's no witch either." Garrett said
"She's not!" Yunagi said
"She's not?" Leo said
"Nope but she does have a mark like mine and this mark could possibly outcast you even more than being from the Satellite."
"Oh yeah now I remember." Dawn said
"But that would mean that she is a signer." Yunagi said
"That would explain some things like how she can make battle damage real?" Tanner reasoned
"But that would mean that Garrett and Yusei would also be able to make battle damage real right." Dawn replied
"No I don't think that's it. I think that because of this mark she has, people always see her as an outcast. That's why she goes around dueling people she's trying to hide the hurt she's experienced her entire life." Garrett said
"That makes perfect sense." Dawn exclaimed
"Now I really feel bad for her." Luna said looking down
"I second that." Leo added sadly
"Then let's make it a goal to change Akiza to our side and make her a friend." Proclaimed Garrett clenching a fist
"Yeah." Dawn did the same
"Only one problem." Tanner said
"What is it Tanner." Yunagi asked
"She's still going to destroy the stadium with her powers right?" Tanner asked
"Let's hope not Tanner." Garrett said looking back towards the arena anticipating the first move
"No way Garrett was right." Dale said from inside the depths of the lodge watching Akiza's worried expression on the TV
"So she is the Black Rose." Yusei exclaimed
"What are we going to do Yusei."
"I don't know about you Dale but I'm going to find out why she's destroying things and try to set her straight."
"Sounds like someone has a crush on someone." Dale said giving Yusei
Yusei smiles "You could say that."
Commander Koda shows no signs of fear "Oh please good people of New Domino City she's no witch she just has the ability of telekinesis she can move things with mind. Which is how you're able to cause so much destruction am I right
Akiza shakes her head vigorously "No I don't want to hurt people I'm learning to control my powers."
Koda glares "No you're not! You don't care who you hurt, and that's why when I win this duel I'm sending you to a special facility to have your powers removed."
"But that's not true I don't like destruction." Akiza argued back
"You're lying and I'm going to prove it with this duel." Koda continued to taunt
Akiza growls in anger "Fine whatever ladies first. I summon violet witch in atk mode(4/1100/1200) and I place a face down card and then activate the black garden field spell now I end my turn
"Very well then I go. And I place a face down card and that's it."
"It's my turn now. I attack you directly with my violet witch."
"Ahhhhhhh(LP2900)" Koda screams as he falls down to the ground with holes torn in his suit and burn marks on his face, the stadium shakes a little the force of the attack impacting with it
"Is everybody ok?" Garrett asked standing up from the ground
"Yeah I think so." Dawn replied standing up as well
"Her powers are real." Luna said growing fearful
"You bet there real right Garrett." Leo said
"Yup and very painful." He replied
Garrett looks over at Dawn and notices the she doesn't look so good. Her face was slightly pale and she had an expression of fear on her face.
"Are you ok Dawn?" Garrett asked
"Yeah no need to worry." She forces a smile but is unable to keep it up
Garrett sighs then turns around and hugs her "There how's that Dawn."
Dawn rests her head against his shoulder "Better."
"Aww that's adorable." Luna coos
"Uhh gross." Leo said pretending to be sick
Tanner smirks at the scene and Yunagi chuckles
"You know director there are rumors about a secret psychic community. If we can find a way to control it we'll be even more powerful." Lazar said to Goodwin while watching the duel from the tower
"Hum that's very interesting Lazar." He responds
"I activate my crime and punishment trap card now your monster is destroyed." Said Commander Koda getting up off the ground
"Then my monsters ability activates and I can now put 1 plant type monster in my hand so I choose my phoenixian cluster amaryllis." Akiza responded
"Then the other part of my trap activates and I can now summon my agent of hatred in def mode(4/0/0) now I recover the LP I just lost in that battle(LP4000)"
"then my field spell activates and your monsters atk points are cut in half and I get one rose token to my side of the field(2/800/800) now this token cant atk but can't be destroyed in battle either I also activate the trap card rose flame so now you'll take 500 points of damage every time a plant monster appears on your side of the field."
"Very clever I must admit."
"Now I summon phoenixian seed in def mode(2/800/0) now my field spell activates again cutting my monsters atk points in half(400) plus now you get a rose token." Akiza starts
"(2/800/800) hum?" Koda says confused
"And 500 points of damage." She finishes
"Ahhhh(LP3500)"
"I end my turn with that all said and done."
"Then mine begins and I activate the spell card mind monster now I choose a monster and if you have it then you lose half its atk points and I guess black rose dragon
"Urgh(LP2800)" Akiza says flinching slightly
"I'll now switch rose token into def mode and end my turn."
"It's my turn now and I sacrifice phoenixian seed to summon phoenixian cluster amaryllis(8/2200/0) and once again my spell card activates cutting my atk points(1100) and giving you a rose token."
"(2/800/800)"
"Plus you take 500 more points of damage."
"Ahhhh(LP3000)"
"Now I attack with my amaryllis get that token the one in atk mode."
"Ahhhh(LP2700)"
"Now my monsters ability activates when it attacks its destroyed and you take 800 points of damage."
"Ahhhh(LP1900) don't forget my monsters ability I get some points back(LP2200)"
"I end with a face down so now amaryllis comes back in def mode(8/2200/0). Which means you get another token which means you lose 500 more points."
"(2/800/800) ahhhh(LP1700)." By this point Koda has a million holes and burn marks all over his body and is barely standing. "Is that all you got it's my turn. And now to show you my ultimate combo this is the combo that will defeat you. I sacrifice all 3 tokens to summon the mad profiler(8/2600/1600)"
"Now my field spell activates again giving me a token and you a weakened monster(2/800/800)"
"(1300) that doesn't matter with his special ability though. I can send one card from my hand to the graveyard to destroy the same type of card on the field and I choose a spell card so black garden is destroyed."
"Unn my garden."
"(2600) now I send a monster to the graveyard to get rid of your amaryllis."
"No." Akiza screams as her monster is ripped to shreds by the profiler
"Now I attack your rose token with him."
"Ahhh(LP1000)"
"Now I activate the equip spell destruction insurance so now if my monster is destroyed in battle you take damage equal to my monsters attack points. I also play this equip spell called life low protection so now when my monsters atk points change the card that caused the change is destroyed now I end my turn." Koda explained
Akiza takes this chance to look around the stadium and notice the amount of damage caused to it and to Koda and it makes her shake her head vigorously.
"No." she says "There's no way that I caused all this damage I'm not like this." She says on the verge of tears
"You are like this. You have been ever since we first meet in duel academy when you used your powers to defeat me for the very first time 3 years ago." Koda argued
"But that was back then. Now I know how to use my powers and I can control them now." She said
"Take a look around." Akiza does so "Does that look like you can control your powers."
"But I-." she tries to say
"Enough! Make your final move so that I can take you to that special facility to have your powers neutralized. Today is the day the Black Rose gets clipped."
"NO!" Akiza shouts looking him directly in the eyes anger evident in her eyes "You have degraded and called me a monster for the last time." She grabs the top card of her deck "I will defeat you right here and right now."
As Akiza draws her card her right arm starts to glow a bright red in color with the shape of a dragons leg appearing on it.
With Goodwin
"So she is a signer." Goodwin says in astonishment
"Good that's 2 down four to go." Lazar says
In the duel lodge Yusei's mark has started to glow as well.
"So she does have a mark I wasn't just imaging things." Said Yusei
"Looks like we found another signer." Dale said
Yusei nods
In the stands Garrett arm is glowing as well
"It's starting." Garrett said still holding Dawn
"What is." She said lifting her head up off of Garrett's chest
"I'd say the main event." Tanner said grinning
"Maybe we should leave now." Yunagi said getting worried
"I second that." Leo agreed quickly
"And miss the show no way." Garrett said
"Unn." Luna moans holding her head tightly in pain
"Whoa Luna are you ok." Dawn gets up and goes over to her
"What's wrong." Garrett hurries in Dawns footsteps holding Luna up so she doesn't fall forward
"Nothing I'm fine." Luna tries to sound convincing
"I don't think so." Garrett quickly counters getting down on one knee looking Luna in the eyes that was when Garrett's arm glowed brighter
"What's happening." Tanner asked walking over to join them
"Shhh look." Garrett said
Luna's arm starts to glow
"No way." Dawn said in a shocked tone
"Whooooa." Leo said amazed
"Luna has a mark that means she's a signer." Yunagi shouted
"Maybe we should go after all." Tanner said showing worry on his rough face
"Hold on a minute Tanner this duels almost over." Garrett said calming everyone down
"Your right Garrett this duel is over, Akiza's finished." Tanner said
Garrett sends him a smirk "Don't be so sure about that Tanner. I had this same feeling when Yusei dueled. I know Akiza can pull through."
"Yeah maybe when kuribou becomes the next MVP." Tanner replied
Garrett's starts to smile "Just watch and you'll see soon enough."
The scene returns to the arena where Akiza begins her final turn
"I summon twilight rose knight(3/1000/1000) and now all my monsters tune together to synchro summon my black rose dragon(7/2400/2000)." Akiza said bringing her great dragon to the field.
With the appearance of black rose dragon a mighty windstorm blows through the stadium causing everyone to panic slightly.
"Arghh." Tanner, Garrett, and Yunagi shout covering their eyes
"Ahhh," Screams Dawn grabbing hold of Luna to keep her from blowing away
"What's going on Garrett? What's with this windstorm?" Tanner asked through all the flying rose petals
"It's Akiza's psychic powers. There going out of control."
"She really is a witch then." Leo said in fear
"Well if this keeps up she won't have much of a fan club." Tanner said
"What do we do?" Yunagi asked trying hard not to get blown away.
"I don't know just hold on for now." Replied Garrett enduring the pain of the flying rose petals.
Back in the duelist lounge Dale and Yusei are at a shock to see what is going on inside the stadium
"Dale checks this out." Yusei said pointing to the screen
"I see that it's like a mad house out there."
Back in the seats with Garrett and the group Garrett was desperately trying to find a way to block out the raging rose petals from completely consuming the stadium
"Garrett I'm not sure we can last much longer over here I'm getting too weak." Dawn said falling to her knees still shielding Luna from the petals' fury
"There has to be something we can do to stop this." Garrett said out loud. He ran over to Dawn and started to shield her from the onslaught
"Yeah but what." Tanner replied
Then at the same time Garrett's, Luna's and Yusei's marks all started glowing brighter. So bright in fact that it was nearly blinding
"Hey Yusei what's going on? Are you ok?" Dale asked with worry
"I don't know Dale but I do know that something is happening outside." Yusei replied
That was when it happened Dale's arm started glowing also, but it wasn't glowing red like all the other signers. No his mark was glowing a deep dark blue color and took the shape of a shield with a dragon around it.
"What is that? Is that another mark?" Yusei asked bewildered
"It is. But this mark is blue. What do you think that could mean?" Dale asked looking down at it
"You got me Dale." Yusei replied looking back at the storm through the TV
Back in the seats Garrett didn't know what to do when the wind and the petals seemed to just stop and everything seemed to return to normal
"Is it over?" Leo asked still hiding behind Tanner and Yunagi
"Yeah it is." Tanner said relived
"But how did it end." Yunagi asked
"I'm not sure but somehow I think it has something to do with Dale. Like he was somehow able to cease this storm." Garrett said not taking his eyes off of Dawn for one second
Tanner glanced around "It sure looks like it took its toll on the stadium though"
Garrett nods "Yeah but it looks like everybody is ok as well."
Leo suddenly ran over to Dawn and Luna "Luna! Is Luna ok"
Dawn smiled at him and got up off the ground. "Yeah she's fine Leo look."
"Luna you're ok." Leo said
"Yeah I'm fine no need to be so worried." She replied
The two siblings hugged
"Well I'm glad that's over." Dawn said walking over to the rest of the group
"Me to. Are you ok?" Garrett asked her
"Yeah no need to worry. Just a couple of scratches." She replied
He nods while Tanner and Yunagi just looked at each other with a knowing look on their faces
Back in the arena Akiza is shocked that the storm of rose petals has suddenly stopped 'What happened why did the storm stop? Are my powers failing me?'
"Looks like your little trick has failed you Black Rose. Now to finish you off for good." Koda chuckles getting up to continue dueling.
"No you're finished! I activate my dragon's ability. I remove a plant in my graveyard from play to make your monsters atk points 0." Akiza quickly countered
"(0) now my life low protection activates destroying your dragon."
"that may be but I still have a face down go rose curse now you lose LP equal to amount of atk points your monster just lost."
"Ahhhh(LP0)" Koda screams in agony
"I win." Akiza said walking back into the depths of the stadium
All of the signer's marks stop glowing leaving them with more than one question to be answered as Garrett watches Akiza slowly walk off back into the deaths of the stadium. They also watch as Commander Koda is escorted to the hospital after being knocked unconscious after that last blow.
Back in the duelist lounge both Dale and Yusei were still trying to overcome the shock of seeing the rose duelist and her quite impressive
"She won." Yusei said still stunned
"Well she is a signer after all." Dale remarked
"Let's go meet up with the others outside." Yusei suggested
"Ok, because I have a few questions that I want answered." Dale replied
The two duelists walked out of the lounge and went to meet up with their rose covered friends
"Akiza won the duel." Tanner said slightly in shock from witnessing those recent events
"That was pretty awesome." Leo exclaimed getting excited all over again
Dawn turned around and gave Luna a calm smile "Are you feeling any better Luna?"
"Yes I am thanks." she replied
"Anytime Luna." Dawn said hugging her softly
"I knew she'd win that duel Tanner." Garrett said
"But how is that even possible." Tanner asked still in shock
"Maybe it's because of this mark that we have; I mean I was able to feel the same thing when Yusei dueled last time." Garrett said
"What do you mean?" Tanner asked continuing the conversation
"I'm thinking that everyone that has this mark is somehow connected and therefore can sense when the others are in danger." Garrett explained
"Ok dueling fans!" the MC shouted through his microphone grabbing everyone's attention "That's it for the first round here's the lineup for tomorrows duels."
Everybody looks toward the middle of the stadium to see the scoreboard light up with tomorrow's match ups
Garrett vs. Dale
Yusei vs. Akiza
"And that's tomorrow's lineup. Who will win the right to face Jack Atlas join us tomorrow to find out." The MC finished announcing for the day
'Dale huh well then my friend it's time to find out which one of us will be the one to take down Jack and Goodwin' Garrett thought with determination clenching his fist
With Dale and Yusei
'Man Garrett, I was really hoping to duel you in the finals but I guess that's just not meant to be, you may have beaten me before, but come tomorrow things will be different.' Dale thought similarly to Garrett running through the stadium to find him.
'Alright Akiza its time for you to see the light and it'll all start with our friendship that I can guarantee.' Yusei thought with more emotion than usual
