YuGiOh 5D's: Konami
The chapter begins in the not-so-classy Damon District of New Domino City, where our two favorite Satellites were confronted by Sector Security escort.
"You've got a lot of nerve asking for my help, you Satellite reject," Ushio Trudge snarled. He approached Yusei and grabbed for him. Unfortunately for the Bushy-Browed Rent-a-Cop, Yusei caught his wrist.
"Good to see you too, Officer Trudge," Yusei deadpanned.
"Let's get something straight: you want my protection, you need to respect my authority," but Yusei was ignoring the mall-cop and just climbed into the back of one of the patrol cars, "Hey! Did you hear what I said?" Trudge shouted through the glass window, "If you keep ignoring me, Yusei, the deal's off, ya got it?"
"Let's get going."
Meanwhile, Justine didn't need so much convincing to put Jason in her car.
YuGiOh! 5D's
Reverse of Arcadia
Ride 6: Good Cop, Bad Cop
The scene alternates at the PSMB building, where Carly Carmine was being released from her holding cell and had her personals returned to her. She was rummaging through her stuff when she found out something was not in the right place, "Ahh! No! Where's my camera? Nononononono, come on! Okay, joke's over; where's my camera? I'm serious, buddy, where is it? That thing is my life! Where is it? Hand, it, over-!"
"Calm down, miss," the officer pulled out a holographic list and scanned it, "Ummm... no camera on the inventory log."
"I am a big-time journalist, and I am not afraid to shout conspiracy!" in the middle of her ranting, her cell in the box rang, "Um, hello?" and out popped the last person she wanted to confront at this time: her boss Mr. Pitts-
"Know what's on my front page today, Carly, I'll give you a little hint: it's not a big story! Did I imagine you telling me you had something hot for me?"
"I'm sorry, Mr. Pitts-"
"GET BACK TO THE OFFICE SO I CAN RE-FIRE YOU!"
'click!'
"Ah! M-Mister Pitts?"
"Ma'am, we're going to need you to step outside," Two Security guys dragged Carly to the door and pushed her out. She almost fell over before catching her box of stuff that they tossed out after her.
"This is the worst. No story, no camera, and now I'm about to lose my job again. Time to consult my fortune for the day," Carly took her Fortune Deck from her pocket, "I draw. Let's see..." the card she drew was a normal-monster card, a moody forlorn fairy with flowing blue hair.
"Oh, great, Fortuneteller Swee. That's perfect," she said sarcastically, "This means I'm going to have bad luck all day. That's just great; might as well just go crawl in a hole. Wait- I can't give up! Journalists don't quit!" Carly pumped her fist up determined, "So I'm gonna get to the bottom of Goodwin's lies!"
Night has fallen over the City of New Domino. But despite the quiet night skies sparkling with tiny stars, the city itself was bathed in even brighter ones, for a special event is about to take place.
"I'm at the red carpet for the world premiere of 'Atlas Rising: The Rise of Jack Atlas'.
Everyone reporter and journalist alike met to witness an event of the lifetime; that is, if the could even call it that.
("This flick has 'Box-Office Dud' written all over it. Nobody cares about Jack Atlas anymore. He's yesterday's news. I mean, seriously; he lost the championship. He's done.")
("I heard that movie was goin' straight to DVD.")
("If they'd waited, they could have made it 'The Rise and Fall of Jack Atlas.'")
Carly was in the midst of the bustling crowd. She was trying to snap pictures of the various celebrities walking up the red carpet, practically tripping over people as she pushed through the crowd. When she got into a close enough position to get a good shot, she accidentally barged into a blond woman...
"Watch the elbow!" who revealed herself to be none other than WDGK anchorwoman Angela Rains.
"Angela! Didn't see you!"
The successful reporter wore a crimson-red dress, "Carly! What's with the getup? Didn't you wear that same hideous house dress to our high school prom?" Angela looked over Carly's gown, that at some point had been white, but was now a hideous gray, with mock and disaprovement, "Oh, I'm sorry- I shouldn't have brought that up, Prom must bring bad memories. Since you went alone and no one would dance with you and all!"
"Whoa, check it out! It's Misty Treadwell!" a reporter pointed at the red carpet, at a stunning woman, probably in her early thirties. She had a lavender teardrop or jewel in the middle of her forehead, framed by sleek, dark raven hair, thin grey eyes, and flawless alabaster skin. She was wearing a red sleeveless top, and a white skirt with several layers that give it the appearance of being a wrap-around. She conveyed the impression of elegance and demurity, "You were voted the world's number-one supermodel Do you have anything to say to your fans?"
Instantly forgetting their little spat, Carly and Angela were dazed as well. Misty glanced over at Carly, and the world falls away for a moment. Carly gasped and looks around; Misty couldn't have been looking at anyone else! 'Ah-h! Did- she just smile at... me?"
Later, inside the cinema...
"Ladies and gentlemen, your host- Rex Goodwin!"
Goodwin descended the huge staircase at the front of the room to substantial amounts of polite applause. The mingling crowd stop mingling and gathered near the foot of the stairs. A few people comment.
"Thanks for coming, everyone!" the Director greeted, "What makes a champion a champion? What drives the driven? Was he born great, or did he have greatness thrust upon him? All of these questions and more will be answered in 'Atlas Rising: The Rise of Jack Atlas'! Ladies and gentlemen, allow me to share with you the untold story behind the legend!"
In a small waiting room inside PSMB headquarters, Yusei and Jason watched the premiere on a TV; or rather, only Yusei was; Jason was fast asleep on his seat.
Jack was also watching from his hospital bed, his right arm in a sling, while Mina arranged a bouquet of flowers in a vase on the bedside table next to his duel disk, as the screen showed some clips from the movie.
Elsewhere in New Domino, at the Arcadia Movement building, Margaret Spires was watching the movie as well, her mind flooded with more nostalgia just from the mention of his name.
'Jack... Atlas...?"
"Jack's journey began at the top. He was born in New Domino City's Tops District-"
As the narration went on, Goodwin turned to leave, "And now, ladies and gentlemen, I have some matters to tend to, but I'll be back. Please enjoy yourselves, and enjoy 'Atlas Rising'."
"Wait a second! Director Goodwin, one question!" Angela shouted, "Regarding the narration of the film; it's saying that Jack was born in the Tops, but that's not true," that statement caught Goodwin's concerning attention, "According to my sources, the former champion Jack Atlas was born in the Satellite Sector, just like the new champion Yusei, and the Wild Card victor Jason Hutchins," everyone gasped.
Jack suddenly leaned over and shoved the vase angrily off the table with his good left arm, shattering it. Mina was aghast.
Back at the movie, the reporters followed up eagerly, Angela looking rather pleased with herself.
("Is this true, Director?")
("If so, did Yusei, Jason and Jack know each other prior to the tournament?")
("Isn't it true, Director, that Satellite residents aren't allowed to duel?")
("Is there some kind of cover-up going on here?")
"I'm afraid I don't have time to discuss wild speculation and ridiculous rumors. Now please, enjoy the screening," Goodwin exits, ignoring the reporters' shouting cacophony.
Angela can be heard above the general hubbub, "You can't avoid this issue, Director! The people have a right to know the truth!"
'If Jack's the story, why's everyone standing around here?' Carly wondered, 'I'm gonna find out from Jack himself!' so she started her way to the hospital...
"And where do you think you're going?"
Carly's feet screeched to a halt as she saw Misty Tredwell standing in the soiree doorway, "A-a-augh! Y-you're M-m-misty-y!"
"Your face intrigues me. I wanted to get a closer look at you. Do you mind?"
Carly was kinda weirded out, but of course Carly doesn't mind. She scratched the back of her head sheepishly, "Ah! I-I got my dad's looks, that's what my mom tells me! Uh-"
"Carly, right? I heard you liked fortunetelling," Misty gently cupped Carly's chin, looking closer.
Carly was trying to stay cool but was way too excited, "Yeah, uh...that's right, I, uh, I use cards for my fortunetelling."
"Well I use faces. Your face is haunting."
"Uh, it's what?"
Misty removed Carly's glasses to look into her eyes, "Your eyes! They're showing me the path you will take. It is a path that will disappear into a darkness, Carly."
Carly was understandably thrown by this, "Oh yeah? Huh. Th-that's nice."
Misty puts Carly's glasses back on, "But... when you choose to take this path..." she pointed right at Carly as if she were a prophetess, "you will know yourself better than you ever have before!"
"Huh? Ah, excuse me," Carly bowed, "This has been fun, but I gotta run home and feed my plant and water my cat! Haha!" Carly beats a hasty retreat from the unnerving Misty who demurely watches her run away, 'I think fame has made her two tacos short of a fiesta!'
Later...
The door to the lounge slid opened and Officer Altman entered the room with her arms crossed. She slammed her boot against the chair right in front of Jason's crouch, jerking the Satellite awake, "Havin' sweet dreams, Hutchins?"
"When can I talk to Goodwin?" Yusei demanded.
"Be patient, Yusei; the Director is a busy man," Trudge appeared in front of the door, "If you're bored, we can always pass the time with a duel, whaddaya say? Are you game? Or are you afraid you might lose your title before your first endorsement deal comes through!"
"Ha! Now that would be an interesting development!" Lazar revealed himself behind Trudge, "Though I seriously doubt that our new champion would fall to a man of your caliber, Officer Trudge."
Ushio growled, "Why you-"
"Sorry to keep you waiting," Lazar said to the Satellites, "The Director is ready to see you now," he turned to Trudge, "Mr. Goodwin would like to thank you and Ms. Altman for escorting the champions here. She will take it from here. Now we'd like you to go to the hospital and fetch Jack!" the Vice Director sniggled.
The officer snarled but obediently saluted, "Whatever he needs, sir."
Outside the hospital where Jack was recovering from his injuries, a massive crowd of reporters had mobbed the entrance to try and grab an interview with the former champion, only held back by the array of Sector Security officers at the door.
"Ted, I'm standing outside of Domino Hospital, where Jack Atlas has been recovering ever since yesterday's disappointing loss in the Fortune Cup finale. And as of now, nobody has been allowed inside to see him- oh!"
A nurse runs through the shot in a nurse's uniform and runs into a reporter, "Ah! Sorry about that!"
"I'll show you sorry-"
("We're still live!")
"Ah! Uh, that's right, as of now, nobody has been allowed inside to see or talk-"
That nurse was actually Carly Carmine in a nurse's outfit; and she walked in, she passed a very ticked-off Officer Trudge.
"'Go and fetch Jack'!" Trudge muttered agitated, while walking up the stairs, "Talking to me like I'm some dog! If only they knew I was doing this to get closer to Goodwin to find out what he's really up to!" As he walked down the hallway, a glowing purple spider dropped onto his collar from above and crawled inside. The nurses standing around in the hallway looked at him with concern as he danced around frantically as though trying to get to an ice cube someone dropped down his back. Then he froze. A spider tattoo glowed on his arm, and his facial expression became menacing.
Mina was peeling an apple with a knife and humming to herself at Jack's bedside, Jack sitting up in bed, frowning.
"I'd like to be alone right now, Mina," he said.
Mina sets aside her apple, bows, and turns to leave, forlorn,
"Call my cell if you need... anything."
As soon as she left, Jack reached for his duel disk, hanging on the wall above the bedside table. Like with the vase earlier, he must reach across with his good hand because the bedside table is on the right.
Outside in the hallway, Carly was walking the hall alone, looking for the King's room. She turned a corner just as Jack was letting himself out of his room. His trademark white blazer was on his shoulders, but the right sleeve hangs limp, "Mister Atlas!"
The legend turned, still not noticing her presence; it is indeed the one and only. He walks right past Carly, ignoring her staggering form. He rounded the corner on which she was standing, and sees someone walking down the hallway, "Trudge. You're lookin' a little rough, Officer."
Then Jack notices the spider mark glowing on Trudge's arm. He gasped aloud, thinking back to what he saw in his last match with Yusei, "What's goin' on!" he gasped, "Why d'you have that mark on your arm?"
"That's the same glowing mark that hooded duelist had on his arm when he was dueling Yusei!" Carly gasped as Trudge activated his duel-disk.
"So, you the fifth Signer?" Jack said to the rent-a-cop.
"My master is a Dark Signer," the Pseudo-Trudge grinned, "and he sent me here to extinguish the light of your mark, so that we may envelop the world in a cloak of darkness! And you will be the first to fall."
"I seriously doubt that!"
"Hang on! You can't duel him, Jack! Yusei battled someone like him," Carly stated, "It was some guy dressed in a bathrobe, and he had the same weird purple mark glowing on his arm, and... I'm Carly, by the way."
"What! Did you say Yusei? When did all this happen?"
"Last night, and, uh, Yusei won."
"...Carly."
"Yeah. H-hi!"
"Tell me something, Carly. D'you know how to duel?"
"Well, uh, kind of, but-"
"In that case, lend me your hands, will you?"
"W-what?"
Jack grabbed the duel-disk from the top of the bag he packed, drops the bag, hands the duel disk to Carly, and spun her around 180-degrees. Carly was kinda freaked, "You just have to hold the cards for me and draw, right?"
"Huh? But I, uh..."
"I have no idea what this purple glow is all about, but if Yusei was able to take someone like him down, then I'll have no problem! Come on. Put the duel-disk on my arm."
"Right, uh, okay..." Carly slides Jack's duel disk onto his left arm. His right was still in its sling against his chest.
"Are you ready?"
"Bring it on!" all three shouted, and the journalist dazed, 'Wow! Did I just say that?"
Suddenly, a huge wall of fire erupted from the ground and surrounded the three contestants, cyclones invaded the entire hospital building. The lights darkened as Jack's Mark of the Dragon activated.
"Hey! Jack, look, your arm is glowing too!"
"I can see that."
"Yusei's arm was glowing last night as well, and this same circle appeared! What's it all mean?"
"Let's cut the conversation, shall we?" Trudge began the duel.
Jack & Carly: 4000
Trudge: 4000
"I'm summoning (1) Warm Worm(3/600/1400) in DEF mode!" the monster in which the officer started with was a slimy dark nightcrawler with a fiery crest on its head.
"This is real, front-line journalism right here!" Carly started her turn as she daydreams Jack cradling her in his arms, "Getting to duel alongside the dauntless and dashing Jack Atlas! It's my turn-"
"Actually, it's my turn," Jack cut in.
"Oh, right. Sorry."
"To start things off, I'm summoning Vice Dragon from my hand."
"Right!" Carly frantically looked through the hands she was holding for the card, then placed it on the duel disk. The giant purple dragon appeared, but its ATK power was cut in half (ATK: 1000), "Whoever you really are, you've got some gall coming here! Did you think you could kick me while I was down? Well I'm not down, and there's no way some daddy long-legs is gonna trip me up! I release Vice Dragon to summon out (5) Strong Wind Dragon (6/2400/1000), in ATK mode!" in place of the dragon came another, this one larger with emerald scales, "Next I'm activating Strong Wind Dragon's special-ability! Now it gains half the ATK points of the dragon monster I released in order to summon it!"
Carly began to count off her fingers, "So, uh, right, uh, okay, since Vice Dragon has 2000 ATK points-,"
"It gains a 1000 more."
Strong Wind Dragon: (ATK: 3400)
"Strong Wind Dragon, attack Warm Worm!" the dragon's fiery breath hits and destroys the worm, then the attack smashed into the floor behind Trudge and he shields his face from the dust, "Why'd the floor explode?"
"I don't know, but the same kinda stuff was happening when Yusei was battling that underground duelist from last night," Carly said, "it was like duel things were really happening or something!"
"So he's making this duel real," Jack deducted.
Jack & Carly: 4000
Trudge: 2000
"By the way, Warm Worm was in defense mode. How come he lost life-points?"
"Strong Wind Dragon's special power enables it to fight through a monster's defenses and attack directly. As long as its attack points are greater than the opponent's defense points, the difference is dealt as damage."
"This is great! I'm dueling with the deck of a once-great duelist!"
Jack was offended, "A once-great duelist? I only lost yesterday, ya know."
"I- uh...uhh."
"Hey has-been!" Pseudo-Trudge called out, "When Warm Worm is destroyed in battle, you have to send 3 cards from your deck to your graveyard!"
"Oh! I'm supposed to do that, right? The top 3. That's how it works, right?" Carly discarded the three cards from Jack's deck.
Jack & Carly: 4000 (31)
Trudge: 2000
Jack kept glaring at their opponent as he glares back. When Carly holds their hand up for him to look at, he indicated a card with a slight nod, "I place one card face-down and end my turn!"
"It's my move," Trudge drew, "and from my hand I summon (2) Shield Worm(4/0/2000) in defense mode!" a black-and-orange worm with bulky armor appeared, "When this monster is successfully summoned, you and your little assistant must send one card from your deck to the graveyard!"
"Ah- Again?" Carly removed another card.
Jack & Carly: 4000 (30)
Trudge: 2000
"And now I play one card face-down and end my turn," a reverse-card appeared in front of Trudge.
"Then it's my mov-" Carly started Jack's turn, "uh, I mean..."
"Lemme see my cards," Carly held out her hand for Jack to see, as he eyed a certain spell card, "That spell card could be quite useful right now. But I would have to release Strong Wind Dragon in order to activate it."
"I know what you should do... Strong Wind Dragon, take out his Shield Worm with a direct attack!"
"Dimwit!" Jack shouted alarmed.
"What? did I mess up?" it was too late to call off the wild attack. Strong Wind Dragon destroyed the Shield Worm.
"You walked right into that one!" Trudge cackled, "Shield Worm's V2-ability is able to deflect any attack! Therefore, it also negates Strong Wind Dragon's special-ability! And with that, I reveal my trap card, Regretful Rebirth! This enables me to re-summon a monster that you destroyed in battle, as long as I summon it to the field in defense mode!" the bulky worm reappeared (DEF: 2000), "And of course, since Shield Worm has once again been successfully summoned to my field, you have no choice but to send another card in your deck to your graveyard!"
"This is all my fault, isn't it?" Carly gulped, "Jack, I am so, so sorry!"
'Not as sorry as Trudge is going to be!' Jack growled in thought as he glared at the sniggling officer.
Jack & Carly: 4000 (28)
Trudge: 2000
"Trudge, you're not gonna win this duel. And to make sure of it, I'm summoning Twin Shield Defender to the field in defense mode!" Jack ended his turn with the indian-native warrior hiding himself behind his two interconnected shields (ATK: 1600).
"It's my turn, then!" Trudge drew and threw a spell into his disk, "From my hand I'm activating the spell card Worm Bait! And as long as there's a worm monster on my field, I can use the power of this spell to summon out two worm tokens!" two identical worms appeared beside the Shield Worm (ATK: 0) "Next, I release the two worm tokens in order to advance-summon (3)Dark Tuner-Chaos Rogue(8/0/0)!" in the worms' place, a bulky mauve demon appeared; a blue gem glowed from its midriff (ATK: 0).
"Did he say 'Dark Tuner'?" Jack wondered.
"Okay, this might be bad," Carly stammered, "This happened last night."
"What're you talkin' about?"
"Well, um-"
"Now I dark-tune my level-8 Chaos Rogue with my level-4 Shield Worm," Chaos Rogue's eight stars swirled into the air and plunged down into Shield Worm, swarming around within its outlines, merging into one another and turning into four darkly glimmering stars, orbiting around each other in a dance of crackling black energy.
"What's this dark-tuning business all about, Carly?" Jack demanded.
"That robed duelist did the same thing last night. Something about monsters using negative energy, and shadows, and all sorts of other really eerie-sounding stuff."
"When shadows are devoured by even darker shadows, the curtain pulls back and reveals... a world without light! Now, rise! (4) Dark Diviner(-4/2000/1000)!"
The Dark-Synchro Trudge conjured hovered off the ground. Its red-hooded black cloak swished in the cold winds, with a fiendish jeweled bone staff in hand. Its twisted face glared off with beady red eyes (ATK: 2000).
What? So that thing's level is a negative 4!" Jack gasped.
"That's right! The monsters of the netherworld don't come together and build on one another the way your pathetic monsters do! They devour one another, and feed off each other's negative energy, like a snake eating its own tail!"
"Right! That's kinda what the underground duelist said to Yusei last night, after performing the same kind of synchro-summon!" Carly said.
"...Interesting."
"Chaos Rogue's special ability activates from the graveyard," Trudge explained, "Because I used this card to perform a dark-synchro, I'm afraid you have to send 5 more cards from your deck to your graveyard!"
"Keep doin' that, and we're not gonna have any cards left! Oh..." Carly fusses with Jack's disk, throwing away the cards.
Jack & Carly: 4000 (23)
Trudge: 2000
"Now, Dark Diviner, slay his Strong Wind Dragon!"
"Wait, what?"Carly flabbergasted, "But Strong Wind Dragon has more ATK points than your Dark Diviner thingamawhat!"
"That's not what matters to him."
"That's right, because when Dark Diviner attacks, its V2-ability activates, your monster's ATK points become the same, and for every 100 ATK points your dragon loses, you have to send 1 card to your graveyard!"
"I really don't like you," Jack deadpanned.
"Um, that means 14 cards, right?" Carly deducted, "What does that leave us with?"
"Just enough."
"What? A-are you feeling okay?"
Jack & Carly: 4000 (9)
Trudge: 2000
"We of the netherworld came here to rob you of your power, to extinguish the light of your world by burying you in the shadows!" Pseudo-Trudge sneered, "Dark Diviner, attack!"
"Bring it, Officer!" the former king challenged.
Both Strong Wind and Diviner's attacks collided and expelled, energy ricocheting from every which-a-way. Carly threw himself in front of Jack, shielding him from the gale-force winds.
"What're you-"
"I'm protecting you!" Carly almost fell over backwards as Jack reached out and caught her. He glared at Trudge, "Attack all you want, but Strong Wind Dragon can't be destroyed by a monster with the same number of attack points!"
"Dark Diviner can't be destroyed in battle, so we've got a stalemate!" Trudge laughed.
When she realized she would fight with the King Jack Atlas, Carly thought she could actually help him; but instead every move she made for him actually held him back. The journalist sobbed, "I'm so... so... sorry, Jack. This is all my fault..."
"Don't be ridiculous," Jack assured, "You were just trying to help... um, what was your name again? Cally?"
"M-my name's Carly."
"What say you, Carly? Let's finish this together," through this day's trials and tribulations, Carly's luck have been following her all day. But can her streak end through just this one duel? "It's my..."
"A-a-and my..."
"Turn!" Both Jack and Carly drew their next card; they were now actually functioned as a real team, "From our hand, Carly and I are activating the Mind Trust spell card! With this spell, we can release a powerful monster, to pull a weaker monster from our graveyard and add it to our hand. So we release Strong Wind Dragon!" the dragon disappeared, "And then from our graveyard, we add Dark Resonator to our hand! And now we summon, Dark Resonator!" in the beast's place came the small resonating tuner (ATK: 1300), "Next, Dark Resonator gives Twin Shield Defender a tune-up!" Resonator disappeared and left three synchro-gates. They surrounded Twin Shield Defender as Jack and Carly simultaneously chanted:
"The ruler's shouts echo throughout! Hammer of Victory, shatter the very earth! Synchro Summon! Flap your wings, (6) Exploder Dragonwing(2400/1600)!"
Bursting from the synchro-jet came a grotesque-looking violet-skinned dragon standing on its long hind legs. Its blood-red wings popped up from behind its cloud-like fetus on its back. It stared down the Dark Diviner with piercing red eyes (ATK: 2400), "When this monster battles against a monster with fewer ATK points, that monster is instantly destroyed without calculating any damage. Then you get slammed with damage equal to your vanquished monster's ATK points. It's over, chum!"
"Wow! So back when you were thinking of activating Mind Trust, you knew his goal was to send your cards to the graveyard, so you waited...!" Carly praised, "You still have it, Jack."
"Of course I still have it; I only lost the championship yesterday. And now, Exploder Dragonwing, attack Dark Diviner!" Dragonwing gathered massive amounts of energy, its chest expanding the more he gained. It exhaled it as a mighty blaze and scorched the Dark Diviner, the power exploding outwards and ripping through the hospital in a mighty explosion. Dark Diviner gave a curdling, chilling shriek as it was ripped apart by the energy maelstrom, power howling into the heavens as the Dark Synchro shattered. With that attack, the roof of the hospital explodes, hailing debris down on the sizable number of reporters gathered below.
Jack & Carly: 4000 (9)
Trudge: 0
The purple fiery ring disappeared. The hallway was dark, and the floor beneath their feet was shattered. Trudge slumped over and fell to the ground on his face. Jack and Carly stood looking at him for a moment, and stared intently at the purple spider mark on Trudge's arm as it vanished. A spider fell off his neck and vanishes in a little puff of smoke. That was when Trudge woke up, "Where am I?"
That's how the other guy was. It's like they were being controlled by someone else!" Suddenly, Jack's knees buckled and he started to collapse, only to be caught by her.
"Would you mind... helping me get out of this hospital?" the former champion whispered hoarsely.
Carly gasped. That was quite a request. In a flash, she was wheeling Jack on a gurney, covered with a sheet, at a mad dash, through the crowds in the lower levels of the hospital, and amazingly no one was stopping her.
Carly ran through the aisle at the center of the crowd... and no reporters questioned her, amazingly, and then slows to a jog, as it hits her...
'This is crazy... what am I supposed to do with him now?"
The final scene alternates to a highway bridge. The only light was from the headlights of the car as Goodwin stepped out of it, along with Yusei and Jason.
"Yusei. It's time you learned the whole truth."
"About what?" Yusei asked.
Goodwin pointed dramatically, backlit by the headlights; the two Satellites turned to look, and gasped what was beyond the bridge. The bridge in question in which they are standing on cuts off abruptly, and in the distance there are tall X's of iron, supports for a different bridge coming from the even more distant Satellite Sector beyond; the way across is cleanly severed.
"About where you come from, and where you're going..."
