Yusei turned when he saw the others led by Trudge walk up. "What's going on?"

"Godwin sent me a text message about wanting to talk to you guys about something," Trudge answered.

Yusei and Jack nodded their heads, and followed the officer back in. Godwin had his back turned and he was staring out of the window overlooking the city.

"I'm sure you are all aware of what's going on, but before I send you guys out, I need to see your fighting style before you go fight Rudger," Godwin explained. He turned to face them. "And if I feel that you need more training before go on this mission, you will be instructed to do so - do I make myself clear?" Godwin added. Carly raised her hand. "Yes, Miss Carbine?"

"Um ... do you want us to start right now? Or do you want to watch us in the battle arena?" she asked.

Jack grunted in response. Misty placed her slender soft hand on Carly's shoulder and smiled at the young woman. "I'm sure Godwin wants us to use the battle arena and not his office." Carly nodded her head in response. "How do you want us to do this? Do you want us to come in as sections, or do you want us to fight each other?" Misty added.

"You all will come in sections, starting with Yusei and Kiryu, than Jack and Carly and so forth," Godwin answered. They all nodded their heads willfully. "I will meet you guys in arena 8 in one hour," he instructed.

When they got the arena, the place had guards stationed here and there. Jack was wearing all black, including Carly, Misty and Kiryu. Akiza, Yusei and the twins hadn't changed their clothes.

Godwin walked and glanced at Luna and Leo. "I'm afraid you two will have to wait until I say I'm ready to see you two fight." The twins nodded their heads and walked to the sidelines. "Now, let's proceed."

Everyone nodded in agreement. Jack, Carly, Akiza, and Misty joined the twins as Yusei and Kiryu walked the middle of the arena.

"You may start," Godwin urged.

The two went into fighting stances, ready to battle. Kiryu was the first to charge using his Depth Amulet attack, sending Yusei to the ground. The young Signer groaned and got to his feet. Yusei wasn't prepared for Kiryu to use that right off.

Jack watched as the two came at each other again. This time, Yusei used his Rockstone Defense barrier every so often when Kiryu came at him. By now, Yusei was panting hard and beads of sweat came down his forehead. I'm going to have to prove that I'm the only one who's going to kick Rudger's ass, no one else! Kiryu thought using his fireball attacks.

Yusei moved out of the way and jumped into the air. The mark on his arm started to glow, and a pair of wings sprouted from Yusei's back. They were beautiful pastel colors that sparkled. Kiryu did the same, but his wings were black. They continued their assault on each other by air and ground.

By this point, the fight was starting to get too much for Jack to handle. Yusei wasn't fighting as hard as he should, and Godwin saw this too.

"That's far enough," he said seeing that the fight wasn't going to end.

Yusei and Kiryu stopped what they were doing and landed on the dirt. Yusei staggered, feeling exhausted as his wings drooped down and dissolved. The twins ran up, asking him if he was all right. Yusei nodded his head and gave them a reassuring smile. Kiryu was less tired. In fact, he felt great.
