Both Majestic Glacier Dragon and Majestic Colossal Dragon soared through the sky towards Satellite. Once they reached there, Glacier Dragon was left behind to lad in the last place the Signer's were: the condemned amusement park. Once it landed, it disappeared, leaving the four turbo-duelists and their duel-runners, minus Margaret's whose runner was destroyed in their recent battle.
"Man, what just happened...?" Crow groaned as he sat up, "Last thing I remember I was falling 100 feet to the ground!"
"Then the Majestic Dragon swooped in and saved us...," Jack added, "How did we end up back here?!"
"That's a good question..." Yusei said and helped Magic us, "Why'd your dragon take us back here?"
"Remember how the Earthbound Immortals released all the souls they've taken once they're defeated?" Margaret panted, "What's to say Sayer didn't come back when Misty's Immortal was destroyed! He could've slipped under our noses!"
"You make a good point! But he could be anywhere by now!"
"That's why we have to find him, like, now! If he's still in the Satellite, he might still be coming after me! He could try anything to get what he wants!"
"Martha and the kids!" Yusei gasped, "Then we gotta hurry!"
"Hey, wait for me!" Crow got up but dropped back down.
"You and Jack stay here! You're hurt enough already!" Margaret said and returned to Yusei. "We've got to find Sayer and stop him!"
"Well, what's this?" both duelists turned to see Sayer and Divine standing in front of them.
"Speak of the devil." Margaret growled.
"What do you guys want?" Yusei demanded.
"What do I want from the duelists who wrecked my plan?" Sayer said as he and Divine activated their duel-disks, "I though I'd return the favor!"
"So it's a duel you want; good," Margaret activated her own duel-disk, "I've been wanting to take you out!"
"Not by yourself you're not!" Yusei said, activating his disk, "These two are way too dangerous to duel on your own!"
"Then you're welcome to join her!" Divine said, "That way I can trounce two duelists at once!"
"No need to be greedy." Sayer told Divine.
"You ready for this?" Yusei asked Margaret.
"Let's get this over with!"

Reverse of Arcadia
Ride 58: The End of Arcadia
Katherine woke up and saw Jason standing over her, "Jason!"
"Hey, Kat. Are you alright?" Jason asked as Katherine held him tight.
"I'm fine! But what about..." They both turned to find Gabriella lying on a large piece of debris.
Soon after the young woman fluttered her eyes open, they hurried to her. "Gabriella? Are you..."
Gabriella lazily lift her head to Jason, her eyes void of her Dark Signer influence. "Hm... Jason? Is that you...?"
"You tell me," Jason replied, "Are you okay?"
"I don't know... What happened? Last I remembered I was in the Arcadia Movement... Katherine! Were is she?!"
"I'm right here!" Katherine scurried over to Gabriella and hugged her.
It turned out Gabriella lost her memory of being a Dark Signer. That was all the better that she knows nothing of the night before. "C'mon. We should head on home now." reaching Jason's duel-runner, Gabriella tiredly held onto Jason's waist while Katherine sat in front of him. With everyone held tight, Jason started his runner and drove away from the reactor.
All of a sudden the wind picked up, stronger that wind Jason was riding against. A large emerald bird rose from the crater and darted through the sky, making a beeline past Jason in his direction. Jason was glad he slipped under Careen's radar, but where is she going in such a hurry...?
"Dealer's choice, I suppose. I'm going first," Sayer drew his sixth card, "I activate the field-spell, Brain Research Lab!" the abandoned amusement park became a high-tech laboratory, "By placing a psychic-counter on this card, I can summon one extra psychic-type monster to my field. Now I summon Krebons(ATK: 1200) and Mind Master(DEF: 2200)!" the harlequin psychic and cyborg psychic appeared (CTR: 1), "Finally I place these two card face-down and end my turn." two reverse-cards appeared.
"Then it's my turn!" Magic drew her next card, "I'll defend with Defender the Magical Knight!" the shield-carrying spellcaster appeared (DEF: 2000/CTR: 1), "Next to get rid of that field-spell; I activate one of my own: the Magical Citadel of Endymion!" the space ripped opened from Magic and Yusei's side, beginning to absorb Sayer's field over hers.
"No one says we both can't have nice things. I activate the trap card, Dimensional Borderline," when Sayer's continuous-trap opened, the space froze right in the middle, with the lab on Sayer's field and the citadel on Magic's side, "Now both of us can have a field-spell in play. That means my lab's no going anywhere."
"Fine then! I activate the continuous-spell Arcane Barrier! Next, I play Spell Power Grasp to add a spell-counter to Arcane Barrier! That also adds another counter to my field-spell since I played a spell this turn!"
Magical Citadel of Endymion: (CTR: 2)
Arcane Barrier: (CTR: 1)
"And after that I can add an extra copy from my deck! Finally I place 1 card face-down and end my turn!"
"It's my turn now!" Divine drew his next card, "I summon Psychic Commander in ATK mode!" the saucer-cannon psychic appeared (ATK: 1400), "And with Brain Research Lab's effect, I can now summon Armored Axon Kicker without releasing a monster!" the armored cyborg appeared (ATK: 2200)(CTR: 2), "Now I tune them together to form my ultimate synchro-monster!" Psychic Commander and Armored Axon Kicker merged as Divine chanted, "Stars of verlism, unite as one! Unlock the gate of cyberspace to uncover the arms, and array me with the rods of destruction! Synchro-Summon! From the depths of the cyber world, enter Hyper Psychic Blaster!" Divine was then suited into his armor (ATK: 3000), "Now I activate the spell Emergency Teleport to summon another Mind Protector from my deck!" another cyborg defender appeared (DEF: 2200).
"That would be a good time to activate my trap card," Sayer said and his reverse-card opened, "You may know this a Urgent Tuning. This allows me to summon a synchro-monster from my deck, even though it's my partner's turn. Now I tune my Krebons with the two Mind Protectors!" the three psychics merged as Sayer chanted, "Surge, my black mist of vengeance! Synchro Summon, Thought Ruler Archfiend!" the demonic psychic beast appeared (ATK: 2700).
"Now you have two powered psychics to worry about! I'll start by attacking your magical knight!" Hyper Psychic Blaster aimed his blaster.
"When Defender's attacked, I can remove his spell-counter to keep him from being destroyed once a turn!" the shield on Magic's knight glowed (CTR: 0). The shield guarded the knight and his master, but the attack still tore through the earth. Buildings collapsed where the blast was deflected.
Yusei/Magic: 7000
Sayer/Divine: 9000
"Too bad I can't just attack once a turn! Thought Ruler Archfiend, attack!" the archfiend launched a series of telekinetic bolts and destroyed Defender, "And when Thought Ruler destroys a monster, all of its ATK points go straight to our life-points!"
Yusei/Magic: 7000
Sayer/Divine: 10600
"Now I end my turn with a face-down." a reverse-card appeared.
"My turn!" Yusei drew his card, "I set a monster in DEF mode, and end my turn with a face-down!"
"The it looks like it's my turn again," Sayer drew his next card, "I summon Psychic Snail in ATK mode," the psychokinetic snail appeared (ATK: 1900), "And by paying 800 life-points and forfeiting his attack for this turn, I can have another psychic-type monster gain a second attack this turn. And why stop on just one monster when you have two! By paying 1600 life-points, both Thought Ruler and Hyper Psychic Blaster can attack twice each!"
Brain Research Lab: (CTR: 4)
"Now, my Though Ruler! Attack Yusei's monster!" the archfiend attacked the monster, which was revealed as Fortress Warrior (DEF: 1200).
"Sorry to disappoint, but Fortress Warrior can't be destroyed by just one attack," Yusei explained, "And I don't take any damage!"
"Then it's a good thing my monster can attack twice. Go!" Thought Ruler attacked again.
"I activate my trap card, Scrap-Iron Scarecrow!" Yusei's trap opened. "And not only can it negate your attack, I can also place it face-down for next turn!"
"Actually, you won't be doing either of those. I activate Thought Ruler's ability!"
"You what?!"
"By paying an extra 1000, I can negate any spell/trap card you use against him. So your Srap-Iron Scarecrow is now just scrap." the scarecrow broke apart the archfiend destroyed Fortress Warrior.
Brain Research Lab: (CTR: 5)
"Now that your field's empty... Divine, would you do the honors?"
"Thought you'd never ask!" Divine fired two large blasts and knocked both Yusei and Magic to the ground.
Yusei/Magic: 1000
Sayer/Divine: 10600
"Now I end my turn with a face-down." Sayer concluded.
"Magic..." Crow grunted, "Yusei!"
"You have to get up!" Jack groaned.
"Please don't," Sayer insisted. "There's no need to tax yourselves."
"Yeah, take all the time you need," Divine said, "Suck down as much breath as you need while those kids are doing the same!"
"What?" Yusei shot his head up.
"What are you talking about?!" Magic demanded.
"Oh, didn't I say?" Sayer said, "I've already sent another of of my subordinates towards the home you were raised in."
"You didn't!" Magic cried.
"He did!" Divine said, "And soon that shack will be nothing but a memory!"
Careen finally reached her intended destination. She wasted no time in calling out several more of her winged-beasts. They began to chase each other in a circle and spun faster until the wind formed a huge twister, the building in the eye of its storm. As soon as their air runs out, then the Arcadia's problems will be solved.
A black orb of crackling energy hurled into the sky, scattering the birds and dissipating the twister. Nathan appeared with Jinzo-Lord and confronted Careen and her Simorgh, "So not only you came here to Satellite, you also turn against us," Careen said, "I don't know whether to find it ridiculous or just sad."
"What's unexpected is that the Arcadia's top recruiter's stooped to tearing down an orphanage," Nathan replied, "That's low, even for you."
"Why don't we discuss the morality of this situation after I finish my job. Or if you still insist on getting in my way..." Careen called back her monsters and landed on the ground, "Let's take you out of the picture for a moment."
Jinzo placed Nathan down in front of the opposite side of the building, "Let's see you try."
Hearing the ruckus from outside, David and Blister came out the door to investigate, "Nathan? Why is he here?" David wondered. "And who is that he's dueling?!"
Careen sighed in annoyance, "An audience. This day keeps getting better and better."
"You're outta your mind!" Yusei exclaimed. "There are over a dozen children you're about to hurt!"
"Unfortunate but necessary for our cause." Sayer said.
"How's that 'necessary'?!" Magic snapped, "It doesn't matter what you're trying to achieve, what you're doing can't be justified!"
"You people of all should understand. You're from the Satellite," Sayer stated, "You've been shunned by the outer world, made to recycle heaps after heaps of trash they dump at your feet, day in and day out. They think they're better than you because they get to do least of the work. You and us psychics aren't so different: they're all filled with jealousy of the powers we've been given at birth. They couldn't stand the thought of being around those who can do what they can't. So they attack us, beat us, calling us names like freak, witch, abomination! They even have the nerve to put us down like animals, and say it was only in self-defense when it's actually to protect their overinflated egos! These so-called 'people', they are the actual monsters; monsters who care not of who they hurt may they be man, woman or child."
"Children being those orphans you're trying to hurt!" Magic snapped, "Children who lost their parents at an earlier age! You think they don't know about pain? When they live alone on the streets with no one to love them?!"
"They more to put them out of their misery," Sayer simply said, "An act of mercy in the grand scheme of things. That way they won't have to grow up as more slumdogs to society. And as for us psychics, we will give back all the pain and suffering those ignorant massed a hundred fold! They will understand their errors when we rise above them as the dominate race! And I'm the one to lead them into that reality!"
"The only thing you are is full of it!" A pair of metal cords shot across the field and latched onto Sayer's and Divine's duel-disks. Crow and Jack tugged mightily as they powered up their own, while fighting to keep on their feet.
"Figures some people don't like to reason." Divine scoffed.
"You're right on one thing: there's no point in reasoning to thugs like you!" Jack said, "So we're gonna put an end to your destructive crusade!"
"And don't even think about trying to escape!" Crow added, "You wanna get away with this, then you'll have to deal with all four of us!"
"No, please don't do this!" Magic begged.
"You've already gone through enough!" Yusei said.
"Don't try to talk us out of it!" Crow snapped, "This is our home too, Yusei! And we're here to fight for it!"
"So are you guys gonna just sit there or are you gonna help us?!" Jack asked.
Eventually, Magic and Yusei nodded at each other, and rose to their feet, ready to continue dueling.
"Why not; the more the merrier," Sayer said, "How about we add to the stakes: this side gets another 8000 life-points. Also for every turn either Divine and I make, two duelists on the opposing team will. Oh, and to make things a bit more fair, you can't attack on the first turn, or if you want Yusei or Magic to attack on their next turn. What do you say?"
"Fine by me!" Crow agreed.
"Then what are we waiting for?" Jack stated impatiently. "Let's finish this!"
Yusei/Magic/Jack/Crow: 9000
Sayer/Divine: 18600
"The next move is mine! Here goes!" Jack drew his sixth card, "I send one card from my hand to the graveyard to special-summon The Tricky to the field!" the armored harlequin monster appeared (ATK: 2000), "Next I summon the Dark Tinker tuner-monster!" the spider-like fiend tuner appeared (ATK: 1000), "And now I tune Tricky with Dark Tinker to synchro-summon Exploder Dragonwing!" the two monsters merged and formed the humped, flame-spewing purple dragon (ATK: 2400), "And when Dark Tinker's sent to the graveyard, I can look at the top card of my deck and choose whether to place it the bottom or top of my deck!" Jack checked his top card, "This'll do... I place two cards face-down to end my turn!"
"Which means this duel goes back to my! I draw!" Magic drew her next card, "I summon Alchemist of Black Spells in ATK mode!" the tome-wielding magic-user appeared (ATK: 1200), "Now I activate his ability: by switching him to DEF mode (DEF: 1800), I can add a spell-counter to a card on my field, such as my Arcane Barrier (CTR: 2)! And with that, I end my turn!"
"If that's the best you can do, then you're in big trouble. My turn!" Divine drew his next card, "And I activate Psychic Snail's ability for both Thoughtruler and Hyper Psychic Blaster!" both later psychics flared with energy.
Brain Research Lab: (CTR: 7)
"And now I'll use Thoughtruler Archfiend to attack Exploder Dragonwing!"
"I activate the Prideful Roar trap card!" Jack revealed his reverse-card, "For a small price of 300 life-points, my Dragonwing becomes 300 time stronger! So say bye-bye to your Thoughtruler Archfiend!" Dragonwing spewed a stream of fire to incinerate the archfiend. But the demon managed to shield itself before cutting away the flames with bolts of electricity and destroyed the dragon, "No way! How is that possible!"
Yusei/Magic/Jack/Crow: 8400
Sayer/Divine: 18600
"You didn't think Thoughtruler's effect stops at only my own monsters, did you? All I did was have Thoughtruler Archfiend negate your trap card!" Divine explained.
Brain Research Lab: (CTR: 8)
"That only works on psychic-type monsters! In case you didn't know, Exploder's a dragon!"
"My trap I played begs to differ." Sayer said and revealed his face-down, "My DNA Surgery trap changes all monsters on the field to the type I chose. Now every monster on your field and every monster summoned will be psychic-type!"
"But that means... We can't use our spells and traps to enhance our monsters!" Magic gasped.
"That's right! Your monsters will stay powerless as long as Thoughtruler Archfiend's out. And speaking of, he still has a second attack to use on your alchemist!" Thoughtruler Archfiend destroyed Magic's spellcaster.
"And don't forget Thoughtruler's other ability. All those ATK points your monsters have go to our life-points." Sayer said.
Yusei/Magic/Jack/Crow: 8400
Sayer/Divine: 22200
"And that's just the beginning. I still have Hyper Psychic Blaster to attack you directly!" Divine wasted no more words as he fired a pair of large energy beams the broke through the park, destroying everything in sight and slamming the four Satellites back down.
Yusei/Magic/Jack/Crow: 2400
Sayer/Divine: 22200
Divine concluded with a reverse-card, "Try staying down this time."
"C'mon guys... We gotta get up!" Magic hissed, "We can't let those guys win!"
"I'm just taking a little nap!" Crow forced as grin and he and the others got back on their feet.
"You really don't know when to give up, do you?" Sayer scowled.
"Nope, not really! By the way, it's my turn to draw!" Crow started his next turn, "When you're the only ones with monsters on your field, I can summon the level-5 Blackwing-Sirocco the Dawn from my hand!" the large-winged birdman appeared (ATK: 2000), "And with a Blackwing out, I can summon more to keep him company! So say hi to Blackwings Bora the Spear and Gale the Whirlwind!" the javelin-wielding avian (ATK: 1700) and small large-feathered tuner (ATK: 1300) appeared to accompany Sirocco, "These guys work best together ans you're about to find out why! With Gale the Whirlwind out, one of your monsters lose halt their ATK points!" Gale's large wings sent a giant twister to rip through Hyper Psychic Blaster (ATK: 1500), "Too bad your archfiend's ability doesn't cover monster effects. And there's more where that came from! I tune Bora the Spear with Gale the Whirlwind to synchro-summon Blackwing Armor Master!" the two avians merged and became the armored Blackwing warrior (ATK: 2500), "And guess what, Sirocco can add its ATK points from another Blackwing, like Armor Master (ATK: 4500)! Sirocco the Dawn, attack the Hyper Psychic Blaster!" Sirocco dashed in with its talons ready.
"You didn't think it'd be that easy, did you?" Divine snickered as his reverse-card opened. A barrier of electricity burst from his armor and struck not just Sirocco but the two other Blackwings that stood by, destroying all three of them to Crows horror. "With Mirror Force activated, all your monsters in ATK mode are destroyed!"
"Is this getting through to you now?" Sayer smirked, "You lost the moment you decided to oppose us."
"I place the one card face-down and end my turn!" a reverse-card appeared.
"It's my turn now..." Yusei drew his next card, "I activate the spell card Graceful Charity! With this I can draw 3 card from my deck, then discard 2! Next I summon the tuner-monster Junk Synchron!" the orange tuning engineer appeared (ATK: 1300), "With him out, I can summon a level-2-or-lower monster back from the graveyard! So welcome back, Fortess Warrior!" the small stone defender appeared (ATK: 600), "Next, when there's a tuner-monster out on my field, I can summon the Quilbolt Hedgehog sleeping in my grave as well!" the bolt-quilled hedgehog appeared (ATK: 800), "and since I summoned a monster this turn, I can also summon Turbo Booster from my hand!" the yellow launcher robot appeared (ATK: 0), "Now I tune my level-3 Junk Synchron with level-2 Fortress Warrior and Quillbolt Hedgehog and level-1 Turbo Booster! Stardust Dragon, let's rev it up!" the four monsters merged and Stardust Dragon was called out (ATK: 2500), "Next I equip Stardust with the Fighting Spirit spell card! This raises his ATK power by 300 for each monster on the opponent's field!" the dragon roared as its body flared (ATK: 3100), "Now Stardust Dragon, let that Hyper Psychic Blaster have it! Go, Stardust Flare!" Stardust fired a stream of sparkling flame from its maw. Divine braced himself as the attack ripped off his armor; though Divine came out unscathed.
Yusei/Magic/Jack/Crow: 2400
Sayer/Divine: 22100
"Impressive..." Divine scowled, "I have to admit, that actually hurt, just a bit."
"One down and one to go. I end my turn!"
"My turn," Sayer drew his next card, "I activate the spell card Pot of Greed," Sayer drew two new card, one in particular made him crack a smirk, "You're in for it now. I activate the Miracle Synchro Fusion spell card!"
"Miracle Synchro Fusion...?" Yusei gasped.
"What's that do?!" Crow demanded.
"It has the same power of the classic Miracle Fusion card. It allows me to fuse monsters from both my field and graveyard, and create a fusion-monster specially made from synchro-monsters."
"Fusion from synchros?" Jack wondered, "Is there even a monster for that?"
Sayer chuckled, "By merging the raw power of Hyper Psychic Blaster, my Thought Ruler Archfiend will reach a new stage of psychic evolution!" large bands of white light began to surround Thought Ruler until it formed onto a large, mummy-like cocoon and flashed with much light blinding the field. Inside the demon began to evolve: its legs thinned and merged into a long tail. Its claws grew and its chest expanded. The same applied to its wings and horns. "I create, the (1) Ultimate Axon Kicker(10/ATK: 2900/DEF: 1700)!" With a screeching roar, the monster broke from its cocoon. The four Satellites watched in awe and horror at the monster's new form.
"That thing doesn't look so tough!" Jack tried to put on a brave front.
"This is the most powerful psychic monster there is," Divine said, playing another card from his hand, "Every monster it destroys, its ATK points go to my life-points. It can't be destroyed by card-effects. And with this Mist Body equip-spell, not even brute strength can either! Now for Psychic Snail's ability: by paying 800 life-points, I can have Ultimate Axon Kicker attack twice this turn!"
Brain Research Lab: (CTR: 9)
"But... Stardust Dragon's our only monster..." Magic whimpered.
"That's the idea. But first, let's get rid of your Fighting Spirit with Mystical Space Typhoon!" Divine sneered, and destroyed Stardust's equip-spell, "You waste your talents clinging to idealistic trash. Now to show you where that all leads you!" with Ultimate Axon's psychic power, both Sayer and Divine were lifted from the ground with their monster, enough to barely pull Crow and Jack from the ground. Ultimate Axon Kicker raised it claws over its head as the crackled with energy. Soon a black orb grew in between, and kept growing until it was even thrice as large as the monster itself.
"So these are the so-called Signers who dare oppose Arcadia Movement!" Sayer smirked, "Here I stand above you about to unleash the object of your destruction, looking down on you like the persistent insects you are. I thought you lot would be more gifted duelists, someone to truly put my skills to the test. I just forgot that you're all just human."
"And you're not?!" Jack shouted.
"I'm quite human, just superhuman. Those who are born of their gifts deserve them. You Signers were only handed out your power from some cosmic entity. What the Crimson Dragon saw in you people, I guess I'll never know."
"You listen here, Sayer!" Yusei shot back, "We're chosen to become Signers for a reason! We accept the limits all humans have! The Dragon knew we wouldn't use any kind of power for ourselves!"
"It understood we won't let anything get in the way of protecting those we love!" Crow said.
"That's right! And all while playing by the rules, too! We don't think we're above humanity just because we got a little bit of power!" Crow added.
"You see, Sayer, unlike you we were raised to know the difference between good and evil!" Magic finished.
Sayer chuckled, "Then that nanny who raised you is another human fool like the rest."
"Don't you dare talk about Martha that way!" Magic screamed.
"You don't know anything, apparently. The concept of 'Good and Evil' is just something in comic books and saturday-morning cartoons. Only Chaos and Order exists in this world. And the Arcadia will bring order to this world!" the Ultimate Axon Kicker thrust its arms down and sent the giant ball dropping towards the Dragon tried to keep it back using its stardust blast, but that small stream proved ineffective before the orb slammed into Stardust and pulled it inside. The Satellites stood as it sped closer to them, the power packed in it shaking the earth under their feet.
"Tell me this isn't how it ends!" Crow gritted his teeth.
"It's not how it's ends! I activate the Reanimation Wave trap card!" Magic's reverse-card opened and a large barrier formed to intercept the sphere, "This card halves the damage from a battle!" the spear exploded, the force shattering the barrier and slammed its force down on the Satellites as well as flattening the area around them.
The monster settled Sayer and Divine down in the middle of the destruction, looking down scattered debris of the destroyed fairground. "I think that should be enough to keep them down for a while, don't you think?"
Suddenly several spot in the ground moved, and one by one the Satellites once again rose our from under the dirt. Sayer growled at their persistence.
"Do I have to spell it out for you...?" Magic huffed, and Stardust Dragon rose back to the field behind her and her friends (ATK: 2500), "We are not gonna let you have your way..."
Yusei/Magic/Jack/Crow: 450
Sayer/Divine: 24600
Checking his temper, Sayer sighed, "Defiant until the end. I guess I shouldn't expect anything different from you, Margaret. A true warrior never admits defeat... Even when it's staring her in the face."
"Glad I'm a guy..." Crow joked weakly.
"Let me take it from here. It's my turn!" Jack drew his next card, "I summon Summoner Monk in DEF mode!" the wise old monk hovered to the field (DEF: 1600), "Now for his special-ability! By sending one spell card from my hand to the graveyard, I can summon a level-4 monster from my deck! So come on out, Rose, Warrior of Revenge!" the red-headed warrior tuner appeared (ATK: 1600), "Now I tune Summoner Monk with Rose to synchro-summon the Red Dragon Archfiend!" the two monster merged and Jack's ace dragon burst to the field from a sea of flame (ATK: 3000), "Yusei, we're in no position to attack this turn. My Red Dragon Archfiend will destroy every other monster on our field who hasn't attack. So do it, Yusei. Do what you have to."
"Alright. I activate Stardust Dragon's effect and sacrifice him to negate Red Dragon Archfiend's ability." Stardust and Red Dragon both vanish, "And during the end-phase, Stardust Dragon returns to the field." the white dragon reappeared (ATK: 2500).
Jack dropped down to his knees, "I don't think I have any fight left... I'm gonna have to leave it to the rest of you to finish this..."
"Jack..." Magic whimpered.
"I guess the so-called Master of Faster finally ran out of steam!" Divine laughed, "You know, Magic, I really don't get why you still prefer to hang out with those Satellite Scum when you have a home back in New Domino city! Believe it or not, we did you a favor!"
"The Arcadia Movement's nothing but a dolled-up prison!" Magic drew her next card, "I summon Breaker the Magical Warrior in ATK mode!" the crimson-armored magician appeared (ATK: 1600), "And when he's out, he can use h very own spell-counter to destroy one spell/trap on the field, like your DNA Surgery card!" Breaker fired a magical slash that cut through Sayer's continuous-trap, "Now that Breaker's a spellcaster again, I can send both him and Arcane Barrier to the graveyard to draw 3 new cards!" Magic drew three times, "Next, I activate the spell Double Summon and call out Magical Exemplar from my hand!" the female paragon magician appeared (ATK: 1700), "Now I activate her special-ability! By removing 4 spell-counters, I can special-summon a level-4 spellcaster! But since he has no counters of her own, I can use the ones from my Magical Citadel and summon Breaker back from the graveyard!" the magical knight returned (ATK: 1600), "Next I activate Spell Power Grasp, adding a spell-counter to Breaker, as well as extras due to my other cards' effects!"
Breaker, the Magical Warrior: (CTR: 1)
Magical Exemplar: (CTR: 2)
Magical Citadel of Endymion: (CTR: 6)
"After that I add one more copy from my deck! Now I activate Breaker's ability once more, and use his counter to destroy your Mist Body equip-spell!" Breaker struck one more time and broke the psychic monster's misty aura (CTR: 0), "And since I have a spellcaster on my field, I can special-summon the tuner-monster Yuki, the Ice Maiden!" the snow-fairy tuner appeared (ATK: 800), "And now I tune her together to synchro-summon Arcanite Magician!" the two monsters merged and Magic was once again donning her Arcanite costume (CTR: 2/ATK: 2400), "And when I use Yuki to summon a spellcaster-type monster, I can add a spell card in my graveyard to my hand! Next, I activate the spell that Jack discarded earlier: Monster Reborn! And with it, I can bring Red Dragon Archfiend back from the graveyard!" in a great flare, the red dragon returned (ATK: 3000), "Next, I activate my Magical Citadel's effect: by removing 6 spell-counters, I can special-summon Endymion, the Master Magician to my hand!" the expert masked magician appeared with his spiked staff in hand (ATK: 2700), "And from the was he's summoned, I can add yet another spell from my graveyard! And there's more: by sending a spell card from my hand to the graveyard, I can destroy 1 card on the field! Sorry, Exemplar; you helped the best you could!" Magical Exemplar vanished into a magic circle created by Endymion. "As for her spell-counters, they get added to the Magical Citadel!"
Magical Citadel of Endymion: (CTR: 5)
"Now I activate the spell Monster Reborn I added with Endymion's effect! Now I can bring back Blackwing Armor Master!" the armor-clad Blackwing appeared (ATK: 2500).
"Would you look at that. It's a synchro dream-team!" Crow grinned.
"You have got to be kidding me." Divine scowled.
"Blackwing Armor Master, attack!" Armor Master soared towards Ultimate Axon Kicker with its metal fists clenched. He managed to land one punch before it was pushed back from a psychic barrier.
"You're not really good at math, are you?" Divine laughed, "That monster doesn't have enough ATK points to scratch Ultimate Axon Kicker!"
"It doesn't have to be! Any monster Blackwing Armor Master attacks is tagged with a wedge-counter; a counter that drops your monster's ATK points to zero!"
"Wait, it does what?!" Sayer gasped.
"Don't worry, you heard me! Red Dragon Archfiend, attack Ultimate Axon Kicker! Go, Scorching Crimson Flare!" Red Dragon lunged foreward with its claws lit aflame.
"I play the trap card, Blackwing Bombardment!" Crow revealed his reverse-card, "By releasing Blackwing Armor Master, all of his ATK points go to Red Dragon Archfiend (ATK: 5500)!" Ultimate Axon managed to generate a barrier of psychic energy and held back the attack. It took a little extra effort for the dragon to break through the barrier and scorch away the Ultimate Axon Kicker. Crow then plopped down to the ground. "Alright, that's it for me. I'll leave it up to you, Yusei and Magic."
Yusei/Magic/Jack/Crow: 450
Sayer/Divine: 19600
Sayer growled, "This is becoming annoying."
"Then this will really bug you! Stardust Dragon, it's our turn!" Stardust Dragon roared and fired away with Arcanite's magical blasts, destroying Psychic Snail.
Yusei/Magic/Jack/Crow: 450
Sayer/Divine: 16600
"And last but not least, Endymion the Master Magician!" Endymion twirled his staff and launched another magic blast. A barrier rose up to protect Sayer and Divine.
Yusei/Magic/Jack/Crow: 450
Sayer/Divine: 14900
"Finally I end my turn with a face-down!" a reverse-card appeared.
'I can't believe I let this happen!' Sayer pondered, his temper rising, 'But this will be the last time I underestimate them.' "Divine! I don't want you to pull any punches!"
"Don't have to tell me twice!" Divine drew his next card, "To start, I activate the spell Card of Sanctity, which lets everyone draw until they hold six cards in their hand!" every duelist refreshed their hand, "And now that I got a fresh new hand, I summon my Krebons in ATK mode!" the harlequin psychic tuner appeared (ATK: 1200), "Then I release him to summon Overdrive Teleporter!" the tuner was replaced by the teleporting psychic (ATK: Now I activate his special-ability and summon two level-3 monsters! So I summon two more Psychic Commanders!" two more commanders appeared (ATK: 1400), "Next, I activate the spell Pot of Avarice! After returning five monster from my graveyard to my deck, I can draw two new card!" Divine returned, Hyper Psychic Blaster, Psychic Snail, Armored Axon Kicker and two Mind Protectors he drew twice, "Next I activate the quick-play, Telekinetic Power Well! This lets me special-summon as many level-2-or-lower psychics from my graveyard! However I have to take damage equal to their combined level x300!" after reviving two Krebons, Divine was shocked by a telekinetic barrier.
Yusei/Magic/Jack/Crow: 450
Sayer/Divine: 14300
"Now I tune Overdrive Teleporter with one of my Psychic Commanders to synchro-summon my Hyper Psychic Blaster once again!" the two psychics merged into the high-tech armor and re-equipped over Divine (ATK: 3000), "Next I activate the spell Dark Phoenix Force! By sacrificing all my other monsters, Hyper Psychic Blaster gains all of their ATK points!" suddenly Divine's armor lit with dark flame and grew into a large pair of wings, incinerating his own monsters and strengthening him (ATK: 6800), "This card does have a comeback, but I won't have to worry about it once I'm through with you!" Divine charged his blasters and fired a stream of black fire."
"I activate the trap card Magic Cylinder!" Magic revealed her reverse-card and two large tubes appeared, one to suck the attack in like a vacuum, "This card absorbs you attack and sends it right back at you! Time to give you a taste of your own medicine!" the second tube spat the flames back out at Divine.
"No thanks! I activate the quick-plat spell from my hand, Mystic Wok! Now I release Hyper Psychic Blaster and add its ATK points to my life-points!" Divine's armor separated into pieces an formed a barrier to block the black flames.
Yusei/Magic/Jack/Crow: 450
Sayer/Divine: 21100
"And since Hyper Psychic Blaster's sent to the graveyard, I won't take any damage from Dark Phoenix Force," Divine smirked, "Quite a pill to swallow, eh? You're not getting rid of me anytime soon."
"You won't know unless we try. It's my turn to draw!" Yusei started his next turn, "I activate the spell Unstable Evolution! By equipping it to a monster on my field while I have fewer life-points, their original ATK becomes 2400! And the monster I decide to equip will be Magic's Arcanite Magician!"
"Thanks for the boost, Yusei!" Magic said as she powered up (ATK: 4400).
"Now all monsters attack directly!" the two magician and two dragons launched each of their attacks, where a barrier one again protected their targets.
Yusei/Magic/Jack/Crow: 450
Sayer/Divine: 8500
"Finally I place 2 cards face-down and end my turn!" two reverses appeared.
"Then it's my turn," Sayer drew his next card, "With the effect of Brain Research Lab, I summon Psychic Commander and Destructotron!" the hovercraft tuner (ATK: 1400) and four-legged cyborg (ATK: 1600) appeared, "Next I activate the spell card Psychokinesis! While a psychic-type monster's on my fiend, I can destroy a card on your field! And for Psychic Commander's attack, I'll destroy Arcanite Magician!" Psychic Commander fired at Arcanite Magician.
"I activate Stardust's ability!" Yusei called, "By releasing him for this turn, he can negate the effect of one destructive card on the field! So Arcanite Magician's safe!" Stardust folded its wings over Arcanite Magician to protect her, before the dragon vanished.
Yusei/Magic/Jack/Crow: 450
Sayer/Divine: 7500
Sayer smiled, "I'm really glad you did that, Yusei, because now I can use Destrustotron's effect and destroy your face-down cards!"
"I activate one of them: Threatening Roar!" Yusei's reverse-card opened and shockwaves ripped through the field. "This card forces you to skip you battle-phase for this turn!"
Brain Research Lab: (CTR: 14)
"Then I'll tune my two psychics to return Thought Ruler Archfiend back to the field!" the two psychics merged and the psychic archfiend appeared (ATK: 2700), "Finally, I end my turn with a face-down card."
"It's my turn!" Magic drew her next turn, "I summon Night Wing Sorceress in ATK mode!" the dark-winged spellcaster appeared (ATK: 1300), "And when she's out on the field, I can activate the trap Assault Mode Activate on the same turn!" a reverse-card appeared and rose face-up, "That means I can summon a powered-up version of any monster I choose! And the card I choose to upgrade will be Stardust Dragon!"
"You what?!" Sayer snapped.
"My Stardust Dragon?! Would it even work?!" Yusei wondered.
"Just watch and find out!" parts of metal suddenly flew around and attached themselves to the dragon. Stardust Dragon was now equipped gauntlets, shinguards and chestplate, all made of an icy-blue steel, "Stardust Dragon now becomes (2) Stardust Dragon/Assault Mode(10/ATK: 3000/DEF: 2500)!"
"That dragon's up to par with a Blue-Eyes!" Crow awed.
"Now I activate the ability of Arcanite Magician! By removing a spell-counter on my field, I can destroy a card on your field! And this time, I choose to your Brain Research Lab field-spell!"
"Wait, their field-spell? Why that?" Jack wondered.
"For all of its advantages, it leaves a counter every time its effects are played! And once destroyed, each of them take 1000 points of damage out of their life-points!"
"They already put on 12 counters," Crow reviewed, "That's 12000 point!"
"And all of them going to blow right in front of them!" Magic fired a blast of magic energy that made a direct hit with the glass tube behind Sayer and Divine, now on its way to causing a meltdown.
"Good thing you learned to do math," Sayer smiled, "Even more so for me, because I'll be taking those 12000 points a different way!" Sayer's reverse-card opened and a rainbow-colored barrier rose up around them, "With Rainbow Veil activated, any damage I'd take will increase my life-points instead! Don't you see, my life-points will never reach zero!"
"Shame you bet on it! Stardust Dragon, show them your new talent!" the dragon roared and fired a powerful stardust blast at the barrier. Sayer and Divine snickered behind it before several cracks webbed around it. The dragon never stopped until the barrier was shattered.
"But that's impossible!"
"Stardust Dragon says otherwise! So now instead of negating only destruction effects, Stardust can negate any card-effect! That means you're gonna take the damage as they come!"
Sayer and Divine looked back at the malfunctioning tube. Suddenly Divine stepped in, "I'm not gonna let this happen!" after that, the monsters Thought Ruler Archfiend and Ultimate Axon Kicker appeared and readied to attack alongside Hyper Psychic Blaster.
"That can't be!" Jack gasped.
"You don't have any cards left on the field!" Magic argued, "You shouldn't be able to do that!"
"Screw the rules! I have all the power I need to do whatever I want!" Divine yelled, "I don't care if I have to cheat to do it, but there's only one way you're walking outta here; and that's when we drag you back to the Arcadia Movement!" the three monsters then fired a combined attack into one massive cyclone.
"NO!" Magic sprinted forth and mustered up all the energy she could gather and spell-counters she acquired, jutting her staff forth to create a giant blast of magic to fend off the attack. But as powerful as she tried to make it, the attack still pushed forth. "This is all I got! This has to work!"
Divine cackled, "You were warned, girl! This is what happens to people who turn their back on the Arcadia Movement!" he continued laughing as his psychic's kept pushing forth their attack.
Magic felt herself growing weak. She tried to push the attack back but proved no strong enough to keep back the psychics for long. "I have to keep up... Do it for them... for my friends, and everyone the Arcadia hurt!"
"A pest until the end, huh! Time to put you out of your misery!" Divine laughed as the psychic monsters continued to push away Magic's efforts. Soon her own attack will be slammed back at her and her friends. Suddenly a dark, rosy flame shot in and pushed the magical blast forward.
"Magic!" Not wanting Magic to lose focus, Yusei looked back and saw a large red dragon flying in their direction. It was the Black Rose Dragon!
"That must be Akiza and the others!" Yusei said as Akiza, Trudge and the Twins hopped off the still-firing dragon.
"We heard it all from the city, Yusei!" Akiza said, "And we're tired of just sitting back!"
"So we came here to help you beat these guys!" Leo cheered.
"We're all gonna help!" Luna added.
"So whaddaya say, Yusei?" Trudge asked.
Crow stood up, "I say we need all the help we can get! Time to send in reinforcements! Go, Blackwing Armor Master!" the armored avian returned.
Jack stood up as well, "Don't forget, Red Dragon Archfiend and I are in this too!" the red dragon roared in agreement.
"Don't forget Ancient Fairy Dragon!" the sparkling blue dragon appeared as well.
"Alright, everyone! Let's put 'em together!" Yusei called. All monsters pitched in and aided Magic's attack; Stardust and Black Rose breathing their fire while Blackwing, Ancient Fairy and Red Dragon pushed it forward, making great progress in pushing back the psychic's attack.
"No! I can't be defeated! I can not be defeated!" Divine screamed in vain until the psychic monsters' attack proved inadequate. Soon Sayer and Divine were caught between the dragons' attack and their own field effect. Sayer raised one last barrier before both blasts shattered it, knocking both him and Divine back.
Yusei/Magic/Jack/Crow: 450
Sayer/Divine: 0
Once the two Arcadia Movement duelists reached zero, an electrical current traveled across Jack and Crow's tethers and short-circuited the Arcadias' duel-disks. Sayer and Divine quickly detached themselves to prevent themselves from being shocked by the current, "Do you have any idea how much that those duel-disks cost?!" Sayer growled.
"No more than the lives of each life-you ruined. And now that I took your source of psychic-dueling, you're just as human as the rest of us!"
"You're not making any sense!"
"Let me spell it out for you! For all your psychic powers, you need the duel-disk's solid-vision system to use any of them. So without a working duel-disk, you may as well not have any powers at all!"
Divine dropped to his knees, "I can't believe this... I can't believe I lost... Me, the strongest psychic of the Arcadia Movement!"
"Well, we may not have a working, duel-disk but I know someone who does," Sayer scoffed.
"You're not taking any of ours without a fight." Magic warned.
"Not yours..." Sayer then turned towards Akiza with a sneer, "Did you know, the entrance to the Netherworld is on the Witch's Island."
"...I have nothing to say to you." Akiza flatly replied.
Sayer's heart sank when he heard Akiza's response. How could she have broken through the hypnosis? Unless...
WHACK!
The leader of the Arcadia Movement fell down when a piece of debris broke off on him. Misty stood over tossing away the remains, "That was for Toby."
Sayer snarled as he attempted to get back up, only to look up to a very pissed Rico swinging his fox by the tail.
"AND THIS IS FOR MY MOM, JERK-DISH!"
SMACK!
Jason soon made it to Martha's house. He silently gasped when he spotted David, Nathan and Blister lying on the ground, scarred and bruised. Jason jumped off his duel-runner and ran down to them. "David! Are you okay?! What happened?!"
David lift his head, "That psychic-duelist with the birds... She's in the house!"
She must be talking about Careen! She must have beat him here! "Kat, stay here!" Jason ran into the house, bursting into many empty rooms. The last place he has not checked was the backyard. And once he stepped outside, he spotted Careen around the playground, with a group of small children not far behind her one gripped by the shoulder.
"I'm so glad you could make it, Jason," Careen smiled, "I was just about to call you!"
"What are you doing here?!" Jason demanded.
"Business as usual, As it turns out I'm ordered to lay waste to this little dump."
"You don't think I'm going to let you get away with that, do you?!"
"Hm, no, I guess not. But but then again, that's what that Sector Security lady before I had her eating dirt. And look at the prize she gave me!" she reached behind her, and Jason stepped back when she pulled out a laser pistol, "And just to warn you, it's not set on stun."
"You know I can't let you do what you want anymore Careen!"
"Uh-uh," Careen pointed the gun at the whimpering child, "You may not care what happens to you, but I know you couldn't live with yourself if your reckless actions caused the poor girl to die," it seemed Jason was caught in a position he could not get out of. So he backed away, "That's better. Now, drop your deck and duel-disk. It's no threat to me, but no reason to be too cautious," doing as she said, Jason placed his duel-disk down and brought his hands back up, "I'm glad you know how to follow orders. Now to make sure you won't cause anymore trouble. It's a shame you refused to join us when you were given the chance," Jason's eyes widened; she was really about to shoot him. When she pulled the trigger, he expected it to go off. But instead he heard a small click, "What the f-"
One swing later, Careen was down on the ground, Justine Altman standing over her with a nightstick in hand. She dropped to her knees and forced Careen's arms behind her back, "Maybe you didn't hear me; you're going to jail!" she growled as she tossed away the duel-disk and cuffed her.
"Justine! You're okay!" Jason sighed in relief.
"It takes a lot more than that to keep me down." Justine said.
"Well, what are we supposed to do with her now?"
"I thought I made myself clear already! I just called Security and they'll be here any minute now."
It didn't take long for the Satellite sector to dispatch their security. Soon they arrived to send Sayer and Divine away.
"Thanks for calling it in, Trudge," the chief shook his hand, "If it weren't for you and your civilian friends the Arcadia Movement would still have us in a choke-hold!"
"Glad to be of service, chief." Trudge smiled.
"You're gonna be doing time, Sayer," an officer shoved him into a card, "Hard time!"
"And after everything I've done for you pigs..." Sayer muttered. When he was put in the car, he can see the Signers and their friends nearby, "Just what exactly have you accomplished? I'll beat the system as always, and I'll be back to revive the Arcadia Movement! And once that happens the first thing I will do is-"
"Shut the %$#& up," the cop muttered as he slammed the door in Sayer's face. Security then drove away with Divine and Sayer.
"Hey, I just heard from Justine!" Trudge stepped in, "Security's at Martha's house to take Careen away too!"
"Then that means, the threat of the Arcadia Movement's gone for good!" Magic said, and everyone cheered at the news.
"Hey, Magic! Look!" Crow pointed and Margaret looked at her glowing right arm. Soon her wrist bore a pair of small, spread wings connected to the stems to form a sort of windmill.
"It's a Signer mark!" Magic gasped.
"But I thought there are only five Signers!" Leo pondered.
"I guess between Magic's Arcanite power, and how she help us beat the Arcadia Movement and the Dark Signers, the Crimson Dragon decided to give her her own Mark!" Luna deducted.
"Then I guess that means there's six Signers now." Akiza said.
"The Dark Signers are gone and so's the Arcadia Movement," Rico pointed out, "What do we do now?"
"That's a good question..." Magic looked to her mark, then out into Satellite, "I guess it's time for us to rebuild. It's been a long time coming."
