*Plane to Barcelona, Spain 4:00 AM LST*
Team Rose was all aboard a plane, sleeping in the early morning before their duel with Team Dragon's Fang. Jeremy wakes up and looks over the aisle and sees Colin reading a book with a small light.
Jeremy: Uhn, Colin, you still up?
Jeremy rubbed his eyes as Colin looked over and flashed the light in his eyes.
Jeremy: Geez! Stop it! That's bright!
Colin: Glad to see you're up, princess.
Jeremy: Dude, you should seriously get some sleep.
Colin: Why sleep when you can catch up on your Rose Guardian history? Oh, I gotta thank Makoto for this book.
Jeremy: Yeah, well, she said her mother was a Rose Guardian. It would only be natural that she would be interested in the subject.
Colin: But I can't believe how many books she had.
(Flashback)
Colin and the others were gathered around when Derek came in.
Derek: We got ourselves a duel Challenge! Pack Your bags, we're Going To Barcelona!
Colin: Why Barcelona?
Derek: Because that's our Opponent's home team. Team Dragon's Fang!
Ryan: Alright! I can't wait to kick Skyler's Ass!
Krystal: T_T What did I ever do to you?
Ryan: Huh? OH! No! Not you! My Brother! His Name is Skyler!
Just then they heard Beeep. Beeep. Beeep. Like a Truck Backing up. They went outside and saw a Large Truck backing up to the house and Makoto was there.
Makoto: Hey Guys! Colin, I brought every single book my mom had on the Rose Guardians just like you asked.
Colin went up to the back of the truck doors and opened them up, then an avalanche of books fell out and buried him alive.
Colin: Daaah! Heeelp!
(End Flashback)
Colin: To be honest, I was expecting one or two books, but wow!
Jeremy: Well, what you told us from what you saw, there's a lot we don't understand.
Colin: And these books really aren't helping much. So far, it's telling me all the stuff I already know.
As Colin flipped through the pages, Rita's head slipped off his shoulder and fell in his lap. She was still fast asleep.
Colin: Why can't she just lean back in her chair like a normal person?
After about an hour, they finally landed in beautiful Barcelona, Spain and the sun had just begun to rise. Everyone appeared to have gotten a good night's sleep.
Krystal: Bienvenidos a la hermosa Barcelona! (Welcome to beautiful Barcelona!)
Laura: I don't know. Paris is better.
Krystal: *gasps* How dare you? ! Barcelona is the jewel of the Mediterranean, while Paris is just a big toilet!
Laura: Say it to my face!
Krystal: I would, but it's too ugly to look at!
The two girls looked like they were about to kill each other until Tybalt and Marc pulled them away. The two girls tried to claw each other in a futile effort to fight, but then Ali came over and smacked both girls in the head.
Ali: Enough! Both of you! You're acting like children!
Krystal: T_T Owie!
Laura: T_T But sis, she started it!
Jeremy: Speaking of children, what happened to May?
Makoto: Oh, I may have given her the wrong ticket by "accident". ^_^
Meanwhile, in Newark, New Jersey, May stood on the side of the street outside of the airport while a bunch of pollution-causing cars passed by her.
May: I'm gonna kill that bitch!
Back in Barcelona, Rita came out carrying Colin, who was sleeping on her shoulder, while walking out.
Rita: Come on, Colin! Time to wake up!
Colin: Uhn… Five more minutes, mama…
Rita slapped Colin in the face with the back of his wrist and Colin fell over and woke up.
Colin: Ow, what hit me?
Ryan: A truck with the license plate "R-I-T-A".
Derek: Hey, Ryan, you don't have any problem dueling your brother, right?
Ryan: Absolutely no problem! He and I have been dueling for keeps since we were kids!
Derek: Okay, good, because Chris sent all of Team Dragon's Fang's info on my BlackBerry. And apparently, they've never lost when Skyler went last.
Colin: When did you get a BlackBerry?
Derek: I got it with my signing bonus.
Colin: What signing bonus?
Derek: Well, it wasn't a signing bonus so much as the check you were supposed to receive for defeating Team Dark World.
Colin: You took my money AGAIN? !
Derek: o_o;…Uh Well uh…you see-
Zack: YO YO YO YO YO YO YO YO YO YO YO! Team ROOOOSE!
They turned to see that Zack Rucker with a group of Camera guys running over to them.
Zack: Yoyoyoyo! We need an interview, yo! Can we please get the prettiest babe duelist on your team?
Krystal: I'm right here!
Zack passes by Krystal and pulls Ali in front of the camera.
Zack: You're clearly the prettiest one! Come over here!
Krystal: T_T What? I'm not pretty enough? Waaah! Tybalt, I'm not pretty!
Krystal then hugged Tybalt and cried into his shoulder as if her world was about to end.
Rita: Ulch, I'm so sick of all this drama!
She looked back at Colin and noticed that he was reading a book again.
Rita: Are you still reading? You should probably take a break.
Colin: I can't do that. There is something else going on here and Jakob told me we need to find the secret for ourselves. And I don't care if I have to read all these books until I find the answers.
Rita: What answers?
Colin: I don't know, like who are Atticus and Sheh? What is Sol Invictus? What exactly am I supposed to know about this?
Rita: You can't stress out about it. Look, we will help you go through these books, but for now-
Rita takes the book and closes it.
Rita: We have a duel we need to prepare for.
Colin sighed and Rita put the book away. They then looked toward Ali, who was still being interviewed by Zack Rucker.
Zack: Yoyoyoyo! That's awesome! One last question: Is there some special boy in your life, girl?
Ali: Uh, no.
Zack: Righteous! So, you doing anything later?
Ali knees him in the groin and walks away.
Zack: *high-pitched voice* Righteous, and we're out. Ow, my family jewels.
The Team left the airport and made their way to the dueling race track. They were going to be turbo Dueling. Makoto was with Tinker getting their duel runners ready.
Makoto: Hey Tinker, my Front wheel's feeling a little loose, can you tighten it for me?
Tinker: Sure thing Kiddo. Let me look.
While Tinker looked at Makoto's front wheel, Gregory Valentine of Team Dragon's Fang and his Teammate Ryder Taylor came up to them.
Gregory: Excuse me miss, I got a write you a ticket. Cause You got FIIIINE Written all over you!
Makoto: Wha? What did I do wrong Officer? ! I swear I won't Do it again! I'm sorry!
Gregory: Huh? No! No! That was a pick up line babe! I was just telling ya, you look hot.
Makoto: Oh, thank you, but I'm actually quite cool, with the nice breeze blowing.
Gregory: Huh?
Ryder: Don't waste your time Greg. This girl is a complete idiot!
Gregory: I know! That makes it easier to get alone with her. Hehe!
Tinker: Hey hey! Enough of that!
Tinker got up and Confronted the two guys.
Tinker: Leave the poor girl alone!
Ryder: You trying to pick a fight, you old man?
Tinker: Not really, but I can't let you punks harass Makoto like that.
Gregory: Chillax, man. There's plenty of hot talent around here. I can get any one of these girls.
Tinker: Really? Then I recommend you go after Rita St. Clair.
Gregory: You know, I think I will. Where is she?
Tinker: She's right over there.
Tinker pointed to where Rita was and Gregory quickly ran over to her.
Gregory: Hey, excuse me? Did it hurt when you fell from heaven, angel? Why don't you and me go somewhere more private?
Rita: Uh, no! My boyfriend wouldn't like that!
Gregory: He never has to find out. Come on, what do ya say?
Colin: I say you should beat it!
Gregory turned around and sees Colin.
Gregory: You're the boyfriend? She can do so much better. Good thing I showed up.
Gregory then turned back to Rita and she slapped him so hard, he spun back around toward Colin, Colin then punched him in the face. He spun back around, Rita slapped him again, then Colin punched him again and the cycle just continued on until Gregory collapsed.
Gregory: _ Okay, I get it. I'm sorry.
Ryder: You dumbass.
Ryder gently kicked his friend while he was down and then turned to Colin.
Ryder: You should learn how to control your stupid little girlfriend.
Colin: What did you say? !
Ryder: You heard me! Keep your bitch on a leash like the dog that she is!
Colin: Why don't you say that to my face? !
Ryder: Glad to! Keep your little-!
SPLASH!
A bucket of water had fallen on top of Ryder. He turned around and saw that Skyler Edge was holding the bucket.
Skyler: Down boy.
Ryder: Skyler! What the hell? ! I'm not gonna let this guy disrespe-!
Skyler then pulls out a spray bottle and sprays Ryder in the face.
Skyler: Bad dog. Now drag Greg over, the duel's about to start.
Skyler then walked away and Ryder dragged Greg back to their station. The team then noticed that the stadium was getting filled up and TV's were on all over the place, ready for the duel.
Meanwhile, clear across the world NDC commissioner Robert Ringford was in his office, with the Large Plasma screen on the wall turned to the Live duel in Barcelona. He with on the Phone with Raza.
Ringford: Do they really need to duel in Barcelona?
Raza (phone): Yeah. All the locations need to be on the same Ener-D stream. Knight to D5.
While they talked, Ringford had their chessboard out for their game of chess. Ringford moves the knight piece.
Rinford: I can not stand those damn children! With every duel they win, it is in insult to me.
Ringford then moved a bishop and took Raza Knight.
Raza (P): I don't care if they win. I just need a gooood duel out of them. Rook to D5.
Ringford then moved Raza's rook and took Ringford's Queen.
Raza (P): Whoops, you're getting Sloppy, Bobby. *Sigh* You can rig the duel if you want, just don't kill them yet.
Raza hung up the phone.
Ringford: I'll do just that.
The fans in the stadium were mostly wearing Team Dragon's Fang T-shirts, hats and other souvenirs.
Derek: Okay, here's the order! Makoto, you go first! And Jeremy, I want you to go second!
Jeremy: Wait! Me? I thought Colin was going?
Derek: Nah, he's busy reading his new books. And Ali doesn't turbo duel so it's gotta be you.
Jeremy: Can I at least close then?
Derek: Well, I want Ryan to be the closer because he might end up fighting his brother, and that makes for perfect headlines. And that means more money for us.
Tinker: Great, he's already talking like a manager…
Makoto got onto her Duel Runner and headed up to the starting line, where Ryder was waiting for her in his Duel Runner, which was a black Phoenix Whirlwind type Duel Runner.
Ryder: What? Your team put the idiot girl up against me?
Makoto: Hey, I'm not stupid! And I'm going to kick your ass!
Zack (MC): YoyoyoyoYOOOOO! We are live in Barcelona, Spoain! Oh, yo, just listen to the roar of that crowd as things get started!
The crowd was cheering.
Zack (MC): Yo, now let's introduce the first duelists! From Tokyo, Japan, a member of Team Rose, Makoto Nagato!
There was a small cheer, but not a huge, explosive cheer.
Zack (MC): And now, from Miami, Florida, he is Team Dragon's Fang's own Ryder Taylor!
The crowd roared for their home team and Ryder just waved at them.
Zack (MC): Now duelists, it's time to D-D-D-D, DDDDDUEL!
Yellow… yellow… yellow… yellow… GREEN!
Both: Duel!
The two speed off and make it to the first turn, where Makoto was able to make the first turn and the first move.
Makoto (LP 4000) (SC 0): *draws* I summon Thunder King Rai-Oh (Lv.4 1900/800) in attack mode! Then I'll set three cards face-down and end my turn!
Ryder (LP 4000) (SC 0): *draws, gains Speed Counter* I'll start by summoning the Red-Eyes Black Chick (Lv.1 800/500)! Then I'll send it to the Graveyard to summon the Red-Eyes Black Dragon (Lv.7 2400/2000)! Now, attack with Inferno Fire Blast!
Makoto (SC 1): I activate the Trap Threatening Roar! Now, you can't declare attacks this turn!
Ryder (SC 1): Fine, I'll just set one card face-down and end my turn!
Makoto: *draws, gains Speed Counter* I summon the Tuner Monster Watt fox (Lv.2 800/100)! Then I'll tune Wattfox with Rai-Oh to Synchro Summon Wattchimera (Lv.6 1400/1200)! Then I'll activate my face-down card Wattkeeper! This allows me to bring back a Level 4 or lower Watt from my Graveyard, but it's destroyed during the End Phase! I bring back Wattfox! Now, Wattchimera, attack him directly!
Wattchimera charged at Ryder and inflicted 1400 points of damage to him.
Makoto (SC 2): Now his second effect activates! When he attacks directly and deals damage, I can take a random card from your hand and place it on top of your deck!
Ryder then took one of the cards in his hand and placed it on top of his Deck.
Makoto: And then I'll activate my last face-down card! Urgent Tuning! This allows me to Synchro Summon during the Battle Phase and I'll use it to tune Wattfox with Wattchimera to bring forth the harbinger of storms who roars with the force of thunder! I Synchro Summon Energy Spark Dragon (Lv.8 2300/2800)! Now, for the 3 Thunder-type cards in my Graveyard, he gains a total of 600 attack points! Now, attack Red-Eyes Black Dragon!
Energy Spark Dragon charged up electricity in his mouth and shot that energy at Red-Eyes Black Dragon, destroying it and inflicting 500 more points of damage to Ryder.
Ryder (LP 2100) (SC 2): I activate my Trap Inferno Spitfire! If a "Red-Eyes" is destroyed this turn, my opponent will suffer the same amount of damage I received this turn before the Red-Eyes was destroyed!
Fire erupted around Makoto and she suffered a total of 1900 points of damage.
Makoto (LP 2100): I'll set one card face-down and end my turn!
Ryder: *draws, gains Speed Counter* I'll activate Speed Spell-Dragon's Claw! As long as I have 3 or more Speed Counters, I can send 1 Dragon from my hand to the Graveyard to Special Summon another Dragon with the same Level from my Graveyard! I'll send my Red-Eyes Black Dragon to the Graveyard to bring back the one you destroyed! Then I'll tribute it to summon Red-Eyes Darkness Dragon (Lv.9 2400/2000)! He gains 300 attack points for each Dragon in my Graveyard! Then I activate Speed Spell-Angel Baton! Since I have 2 or more Speed Counters, I can draw 2 cards and discard 1! *draws and discards another Dragon* Now my Darkness Dragon's attack power is at 3600! Now, attack her Energy Spark Dragon!
The attack was successful and Makoto took 700 points of damage.
Makoto (LP 1400) (SC 3): I activate Energy Spark Dragon's effect now! When he's removed from the field, I can add a Light Tuner from my Deck or Graveyard back to my hand and I choose Wattfox from my Graveyard! Then I activate the Trap Miracle's Wake to bring back Energy Spark Dragon!
Makoto added Wattfox to her hand and Energy Spark Dragon was revived.
Ryder (SC 3): I'll set two cards face-down and end my turn!
Makoto: *draws, gains Speed Counter* I summon Wattfox once again! Then I activate Speed Spell-Summon Speeder! Since I have 4 or more Speed Counters, I can Special Summon a Level 4 or lower card from my hand, and I choose the Tuner Wattbetta (Lv.2 100/0)! Then I'll double tune both Wattfox and Wattbetta with Energy Spark Dragon! It's time for the ultimate storm! I Synchro Summon Thunder Emperor Raiden (Lv.12 3400/3300)!
A massive thunder storm appeared in the sky and down from the dark cloud came what appeared to be a Japanese emperor who seemed to be coursing with electricity.
Makoto (SC 4): And now his ability activates! For each Tuner in the Graveyard, he gains 300 attack points! Now he's stronger than your Dragon! Attack!
All Thunder Emperor Raiden did was raise his hand and he summoned forth a powerful thunderstorm to destroy Red-Eyes Darkness Dragon.
Ryder (SC 4): I activate the Trap Power Frame! This allows me to negate your attack and the difference between our monsters' attack powers is added to my dragon!
The storm was blocked by a cube frame and then it merged with Red-Eyes Darkness Dragon, increasing its attack power to 4000.
Makoto: I end my turn!
Ryder: Shame! *draws, gains Speed Counter* I activate my face-down Reckless Greed Trap! By skipping my next 2 Draw Phases, I can draw 2 cards! *draws 2 cards* And I'll set 2 more cards face-down!
Makoto (SC 5): My turn! *draws, gains Speed Counter* I'll set one card face-down and end my turn!
Ryder (SC 6): Oh, come on! You're no fun! *gains Speed Counter* All right, fine! I'll lighten things up! Red-Eyes Darkness Dragon, attack Raiden!
Makoto (SC 7): You're going to destroy your dragon!
Ryder (SC 7): I don't think so because I'm activating my Trap! Mask of Weakness! This lowers the attack of a monster by 700 for one turn!
A mask suddenly became equipped to Raiden's face and he grew weaker.
Makoto: I activate his ability! By removing a Thunder-type card in my Graveyard from play, I can negate your attack!
Makoto removed Thunder King Rai-Oh from play and an electrical barrier appeared in front of Raiden that blocked the attack.
Ryder: Fine, I'll end my turn!
Makoto: *draws, gains Speed Counter* First, I'll activate the effect of Speed World 2! By removing 7 Speed Counters, I can draw 1 card! *draws* Then I activate my face-down Raigeki Break! I'll discard the Tuner Wattkiwi to destroy one of your face-down cards!
Ryder (SC 8): I activate Trap Jammer! By discarding a card from my hand, I can negate and destroy your Trap! And since I discarded another dragon, Red-Eyes gains 300 more attack points!
Makoto (SC 1): Well, you may have negated my card's effect, but I still had to discard a card from my hand, so our monsters are still on an even playing field! I'll just end my turn!
Ryder: *gains Speed Counter* I end my turn!
Makoto (SC 2): *draws, gains Speed Counter* I activate Raiden's third ability! By discarding a Level 3 or higher non-Tuner Thunder-type monster from my hand, I can negate the effects of all monster cards on your side of the field until the End Phase! So now your dragon's attack power gets reduced to 2800! Now, Raiden attack Red-Eyes Darkness Dragon!
A massive thunderstorm struck Red-Eyes Darkness Dragon and inflicted Ryder with 1500 points of damage.
Makoto (SC 3): I end my turn by placing this card face-down!
Ryder (LP 600) (SC 10): *draws, gains Speed Counter* I am sick and tired of this! I activate the effect of Speed World 2! By giving up 10 Speed Counters, I can destroy your Raiden!
Raiden was destroyed by the effect of Speed World 2.
Ryder (SC 0): And then I'll activate my face-down Trap! Call of the Haunted! To bring back one of my Red-Eyes Black Dragons! Now, my Red-Eyes will attack you directly!
Makoto (SC 4): I activate my face-down Speed Spell-Shrink! By removing 2 Speed Counters, I can halve your dragon's attack until the turn's End Phase!
Red-Eyes Black Dragon shrunk to half its size and attacked Makoto, inflicting her with 1200 points of damage.
Ryder: I end my turn, then!
Makoto (LP 200) (SC 2): *draws, gains Speed Counter* I summon Wattpheasant (Lv.4 1000/800)! And thanks to his special ability, he'll attack you directly! And when he does, he can remove your Red-Eyes from the field and your team mate won't get him back!
Wattpheasant flew at Ryder's Duel Runner and reduced his Life Points to 0. The Red-Eyes Black Dragon vanished and Ryder then pulled into his team station where Gregory was ready to go with his Duel Runner, which was a white version of the Yusei-Go model.
Gregory: Wow, you blew it.
Ryder: Bite me!
Ryder passed the baton to Gregory and Gregory sped out of the station and caught up to Makoto on the track.
Gregory (LP 4000) (SC 0): All right! Let's go! *draws, gains Speed Counter* First, I summon the Tuner monster Dragunity Aklys (Lv.2 1000/800)! And when he's Normal Summoned, I can Special Summon a Dragunity monster from my hand and I choose the Tuner Dragunity Phalanx (Lv.2 500/1100)! Then, Phalanx's effect activates! When equipped to a monster by a card effect, he's Special Summoned! Now I send Aklys to the Graveyard to Special Summon Dragunity Arma Mystletainn (Lv.6 2100/1500)! Then when he's summoned, I can equip a Dragon-type Dragunity monster from my Graveyard to him! So, he'll be equipped with Dragunity Aklys! Then I'll place two cards face-down and end my turn!
Makoto (SC 3): *draws, gains Speed Counter* First, I activate the Speed Spell-Engine Reload! For each Speed Counter I remove, I can draw 1 card! I remove all 4 so I can draw 4 cards! *draws 4 cards* Then, I summon Watt King Cobra (Lv.4 1000/500)! I'll place two cards face-down and then both Wattpheasant and Watt King Cobra will attack-
Suddenly and without warning Makoto's front wheel locked up. She held on trying to keep control.
Makoto: Wh-wha-
Then The Runner flipped over and sent Makoto Crashing into the cement Leaving the whole Stadium in stunned silence.
Ryder: Oh My God!
Skyler: She Alright?
Makoto hit her head on the cement and rolled for a bit before stoping. She wasn't moving.
Ali: She's not moving!
Ryan: Is-is she?
Jeremy: MAKOTOOOOOOO!
While everyone was stunned at Makoto's accident. A Man in the shadows whereing all black and had on a black ski mask, had a laptop with a wireless signal. The man spoke into a wireless com microphone.
?: The test was successful Commissioner. Her wheels locked up and she crashed into the ground.
Ringford (Mic): Good. Now do so with the other Roses. They will lose if it kills them!
