This is the final chapter of the duels with Goodwin. This will be similar yet different from the story as I changed a few things to fit my story better. So I hope it doesn't bother anyone.
Chapter 33 The final battle part 3
"Duel!" The two duelists shouted together as the final duel began. They both drew their hands as Goodwin took the first turn.
"I shall start this duel, I draw. I summon Wisel Core in defence mode. Lv1 0att 0def. I place two cards face down and end my turn." He smirked knowing that with the Machine emperors in his control that he already had an advantage.
"Now it's my turn! I draw! Yusei drew his card and smiled at it. I summon Speed Warrior in attack mode! Lv2 900att 400def. I now attack with Speed Warrior and boost it's attack points thanks to it's effect! 900-1800 Speed Warrior charged in only to be blocked by a swirling vortex of energy.
"Sorry young one but I played the trap card: Negate Attack which cancels your attack and ends your battle phase." Goodwin chuckled. Yusei wasn't sure as to why he would protect such a creature and knew he had to get rid of it as fast as he could.
"Fine I place two cards face down and end my turn." He sighed as his monster's attack points went to normal. 1800-900. Goodwin sighed and decided that now be the time to explain a bit about why this was all happening.
"Do you truly wish to know why I am gathering the marks of the Crimson Dragon young signer? Do you honestly want to know my reasons for what I am doing?" He asked seriously. Yusei and the girls eye shot open at hearing Goodwin admit that he had a reason and they all truly did want to know why he did all this to them.
"You damn right we do asshole! You tell us all right now why you did this to all of us! You kidnapped Akiza and the assaulted Leo as well as hurt all of my friends! If you DON'T tell me I was going to force it out of you anyway!" Yusei explained angrily.
"Very well then. I draw! I play the spell card Swords of Revealing Light! Now you can't attack me for three turns!" He smiled as Swords of light surrounded Yusei's field.
"Damn it! I wasn't expecting that card!" Yusei cursed not thinking Goodwin would use a stalling card.
"Now I play the trap card Raigeki Break! I discard one card from my hand to destroy one card on the field and I choose Wisel Core!"
"What?! Why are you destroying your own monster?!" Yusei asked all confused. Akiza and Luna who were watching both had seen this before and knew that the Emperor was coming.
"Be careful Yusei! This is how he summons his Special synchro absorbing monsters!" Akiza called out to him to try and warn him.
"So that's what he's planning! Well then, bring it on Goodwin!"
"Fine then. I destroy Wisel Core and through it's effect I summon Machine Emperor Wisel! 0att 0def. Wisel attack! 1200att 0def. Wisel guard! 0att 1200def Wisel Top! 500att 500def and Wisel Carrier! 800att 600def. Now combine my Machine Emperor! The five parts became one and formed Machine Emperor Wisel. 2500att 2300def.
"Just where and how did a monster like that fall into your hands Goodwin?! What the devil are you trying to accomplish with that thing?!" Yusei asked again demanding an answer.
"Very well then Yusei Fudo. You and your friends shall now learn the truth. Goodwin said calmly as he began to explain the story behind everything. It all begins with the battle that started thousands of years ago between the Crimson Dragon and the Crimson Devil The two battled for years against each other since each were fighting with different desires. The Crimson Dragon wished for the peace and harmony for all living things while the Crimson devil desired total destruction of all things."
"No way. It battled against a devil?" Luna asked in shock.
"Yes indeed it did. Everything I am telling you all is what has been passed down to me by those who were at once directly connected to the Crimson Dragon. After fighting for so long The Crimson Dragon was drained of all it's power and was about to be destroyed by the Devil when a human that possessed a tremendous power appeared and granted the Dragon the power of it's very soul."
"You mean-?" Yusei asked not hoping he was right about what that meant.
"Again yes. The human sacrificed himself allowing the Crimson Dragon to restore it's power and seal The Crimson Devil beneath the earth. After the battle was done the people that heard about the Crimson Dragon's victory built this very temple to honour and praise the Dragon as their true protector. But the Dragon alone knew that it's power was not enough to keep the world safe and soon figured out how to grant the power to humans. That power is it marks of the chosen ones that we all possess. The Crimson Dragon's birthmarks are the marks that show we have been chosen to hold and use it's power to keep the world safe and balanced." Goodwin's story truly sounded like complete nonsense to Yusei and the girls and yet it felt completely true at the same time. They all looked at their arms and soon all came to the same conclusion inside their heads. 'So this mark is because it has CHOSEN us to do something for it? We have been chosen since birth to battle and fight to protect the world without any choice of our own?!' Yusei and the girls thought together.
"You all are probably taking this hard right now but I assure you that it is all true what I just said. Now let's continue this duel and I shall explain some more later. I place one card face down and end my turn."
"This is completely crazy! You are telling us that we are just puppets for the Crimson Dragon?! That we are just toys for it to channel and gain power through?! I won't accept that! I draw! Yusei called out now in a furious rage. I play the spell card: Angel Baton. I draw two cards and then discard one. Discards Stardust Xiaolong. Now I summon Nitro Synchron in attack mode! Lv2 300att 600def I also Tribute my Speed Warrior to special summon: Turret Warrior! Lv5 1200att 2000def. Now I tune my two monsters together to synchro summon: Nitro warrior! Lv7 2800att 2000def.
"Great job Yusei! That is one awesome synchro monster!" Akiza complimented him thinking that Yusei must have had a plan.
"Not bad Yusei Fudo. Summoning that powerful synchro was impressive and all. But it shall simply become a charge up for my monster since you can't attack me thanks to my swords"
"Not once I play my face down: Dust Tornado! Now I destroy one spell or trap on the field and I choose your sword spell!"
"OH shit!" Goodwin Cursed watching his swords get blown away by the trap card.
"Now I will your Wisel Guard with My Nitro Warrior!" Yusei commanded.
"Alright Yusei! Teach this guy a lesson!" The ladies cheered from the sidelines. Nitro Warrior smashed into Wisel guard and destroyed it.
"Why did you attack the one monster that was in defence mode when you could have attacked a different part?" Goodwin asked not sure what Yusei was planning on.
"Simple. When my monster attacks and destroys a defence monster it can switch another monster into attack mode and attack again." Yusei smirked as Goodwin realized his plan.
"Damn you Yusei!"
"Now I will attack your Wisel Carrier with my second attack!" Goodwin: lp 4000-2000 2500-1700att 2300-500def The smoke from the explosion covered the entire field with Yusei smiling at his current offensive strategy.
"That was awesome Yusei! You took out two parts in one attack!" Akiza called to him which made him turn to her and smile with complete confidence.
"Keep it up Yusei! You can beat this bad guy if you just keep the pressure on him!" Luna stated as she cheered for him as well. Goodwin regained his composure and stood up straight with a cocky smile himself.
"What's with your face Goodwin? Finally losing your sanity or something?" Yusei asked not knowing what he could have been smiling about.
"Not exactly Yusei. I simply am amazed at how well my plan worked to get you to attack me and activate my trap card: Extreme overload!"
"What the hell is that going to do?!" Akiza and Luna screamed since neither had seen the card before.
"It is going to hurt his life points since this card activates when a machine type monster with less than 1000 attack and defence points is destroyed. I now add up the total of the two points and deal it as damage to you! 800+600=1400. A blast of lightning flew from the card and hit Yusei hard sending waves of electricity surging through his entire body which made him scream out before falling to his knees. Yusei:4000-2600
"YUSEI!" Akiza and Luna called out terrified at what just happened and seeing Yusei hurt.
"I'm fine ladies. Just a little taken back from that impact. I'll be fine so don't worry." He told them calmly looking right at the two of them with a smile and standing back up.
"Please be careful Yusei. Don't get too hurt." Akiza whispered softly hoping this would end soon.
"Now I shall tell you more about the Crimson Dragon and why I am trying to take the marks and bring them together." Goodwin stated waiting for Yusei to get back into the duel.
"Fine then. I was waiting to hear this anyway asshole." Yusei grunted still a little shaky from the shock.
"Then I shall explain. After studying the history of the world and the Crimson Dragon I learned that a few thousand years ago the Crimson began a battle with creatures born from the sealed Crimson Devil that took the form of the Nazca lines called The Earthbound Immortals. They were empty emotionless creature that fed on the souls of humans and used them for power."
"They fed on human lives to become stronger?!" Luna gasped with her hands over her mouth at hearing that explanation.
"Indeed. And since the Crimson Dragon had been given power from the humans souls it knew they had to be stopped at any costs. So it gave five humans the power of the birthmarks and from their souls five powerful dragons were born from the strong human soul and the power of the Crimson Dragon. The are the five Signer Synchro dragons that u all use." He stating pointing to Yusei's deck. Ancient Fairy, Stardust, Black Rose, and Red Dragon Archfiend are four of the five dragons born from the Crimson Dragon that have been remade into cards that you current signers are now using in your very decks."
"If that's the case then what is YOUR dragon?! What is the fifth dragon?" Yusei asked since he heard about Goodwin using a synchro dragon.
"I don't have it. You see during that battle that monsters were sealed underground in defeat and became the Nazca lines but the fifth dragon was destroyed in the battle and was lost forever with no record on what it was or what it looked like. So it wasn't able to be remade into a card like the others. It was my family that created your signer dragon cards since it was also my family that are descended from the original signers from that battle."
"NO way! Your descended from the original signers?!" Yusei gasped in total disbelief.
"Indeed I am Yusei Fudo. And after all these years I will make sure that the world changes and I will use the power of the Crimson Dragon to do it!" Goodwin announced before laughing evilly.
"I won't let you use the Dragon's power for anything Goodwin! I am taking back my friends marks back from you no matter what!" Yusei declared pointing his finger in Goodwin's face.
"I doubt it Yusei Fudo. You see the reason I want the Dragon's power is to change the world for the better."
"How do you intend to do that by harming all of us?!" Luna asked him.
"I have learned that if all five marks are brought together the full power of the Crimson Dragon can be released. So once I have all five of your marks on me I can call the Crimson Dragon to this world in it's fullest form and make it obey my every word. I will use it's power to destroy all synchro monster and thus save the world from being destroyed by it's own greed and hatred!"
"What do you mean by that?! You are making no sense at all!" Akiza angrily spat back thinking Goodwin had simply snapped from delusion.
"You see young children, one day when I was growing up as a young explorer before I settled here I came across a temple that belonged to an ancient tribe who were believed to have the power to see the future. So I sought them out hoping I could find an answer as to why I had this mark on my mark. I heard the stories from my family but wanted to know more so I searched the world and I finally found the people and asked them about it. They told me that I was destined to change the world and to save it from the darkness and hatred of the people in it. The mark they showed me a vision of what the world would look like if I left the world alone and did nothing and what do you think I saw?"
"How should we know?! Tell us what you saw!" Yusei demanded getting impatient.
"I saw this city and many others completely destroyed and turned to lifeless rubble!" Goodwin screamed out making everyone flinch and gasp at his words.
"It was all destroyed?! Everything and everyone was gone?!" Luna asked quietly.
"Yes. Goodwin sighed hanging his head. It was all gone. I learned that it was the evolution of the synchro monsters that made humans weak and greedy and made them destroy each other. I learned that I had the remove the synchro from this world no matter what! So I created these Machine Emperor monsters to defeat synchro and achieve my dream of saving the planet! The reason I can take your marks after you have lost is simply because when a signer loses a duel to another signer they can accept the power and responsibility of the fallen one and carry it for themselves." He raised his head back up and was smiling again. Yusei lowered his head and was silent for a few seconds with Akiza and Luna looking at him worried that he would want to stop the duel after hearing Goodwin's story. He quickly gripped his hands strongly and raised his head back up with a strong and determined look in his eyes.
"Goodwin, I don't know if what you said is true or not. I don't understand if you are just trying to be a greedy asshole or a desperate hero of the world. But I do know that what you are doing is wrong and I won't allow it!" He declared.
"And why not?! Do you want to see the world be destroyed?!" Goodwin snapped back angrily.
"Of course not! But to take away our synchro monsters and trying to become a god just to change the world is stupid! You don't have to go through all this and cause all this pain by yourself Goodwin! I don't want any of this that you have said to happen but I also don't want to remove synchro monsters since that alone will not change ANYTHING!" Goodwin gasped hearing Yusei words.
"If you want to change the world for the better then you have to trust the people in it and simply try and show them the dangers of pushing things to far! You don't have the right to simply decide what should and shouldn't exist because of some stupid vision that may or may not happen! I won't allow you to achieve that power for such an empty purpose! I set one card face down and end my turn!"
"We shall see if you can stop me, Yusei Fudo. I draw! I now play the spell card: Monster Reborn. I use it to bring back my Wisel Guard!" 0att 1200def.
"That's not good. It's got it's defence back." Yusei muttered disappointed at the fact that the machine emperor was now somewhat repaired.
"I shall now activate my emperor's effect and absorb your synchro monster!" The emperor shot out beams of light from it's chest and headed for Yusei's monster.
"Yusei, look out!" Akiza called out scared that he would lose his only defence.
"I activate my trap card: Synchro Deformation! Now I send one synchro monster back to the deck and summon back the monsters that were used to summon them! In a flash Nitro Warrior was gone and Speed and Turret Warrior were back..
"So you saved yourself there Yusei! But now your monster's are mine! I attack with my Wisel's attack on your Turret Warrior!" The emperor threw a major punch which destroyed Turret Warrior with Yusei Bracing himself from the wind pressure from the attack. 2600-2100lps.
"Is that all you got Goodwin?! I'm still standing after all!" Yusei smirked trying to hide his weakened body.
"Don't push yourself Yusei! Please! You'll get hurt if you keep this up!" Akiza cried out at seeing him in so much pain.
"Akiza's right Yusei! Don't try and act so tough just for us! It's not worth it!" Luna said back agreeing with Akiza.
"It's ok ladies. I am going to win this duel no matter what! I promised you both that!" Yusei smiled with confidence at them both.
"If you think that Yusei Fudo then let's see how you do after this! I play the spell card: Misfortune! Now I can cause damage to you equal to one monster on the field and I choose my Machine Emperor Wisel! 1700-850. Another powerful blast of energy hit Yusei dead on and this time sent him flying causing Akiza and Luna to gasp in a very scared manner. 2100-1250lps
"YUSEI!" Akiza and Luna cried out while he was on his back grunting from the impact. He slowly stood up and shook himself hard trying to get feeling back into his body.
"I sure didn't see that coming. But I still won't stay down Goodwin!"
"You should learn too so you wouldn't have to go through all this. I end my turn." Yusei could tell himself that he in real trouble. The only card in his hand was the spell Graceful Charity which wouldn't help him much since he would have to discard two of the three cards it gave him. 'What can I do now? I honestly am backed into a corner and if Goodwin hits me hard again I don't think I WILL be able to stand up again or even keep my life points. Am I truly unable to beat him or his Emperors? Can I not save Akiza or anyone else?! Am I truly so POWERLESS?!' He screamed in his mind while keeping his face calm on the outside to not alarm the others.
"DON"T GIVE UP YUSEI!" A voice screamed out from nearby with authority. Everyone turned in the direction of it to see Jack regaining consciousness as he slowly stood back up.
"JACK! Your awake?!" Yusei shouted happily with relief.
"Are you ok Jack?!" Luna asked him seeing him struggling a little to get to his feet. Akiza then ran over and braced Jack with own body to keep him standing.
"Yusei! You MUST defeat this asshole no matter what! You cannot allow his pathetic ideals defeat you! You are the one who has brought us all together don't forget! It was YOU that met Luna and Akiza and made them our friends as well as gave Carly and I our relationship that I couldn't be prouder of! If you lose to this asshole I will never forgive you, you hear me?! YOU HAVE TO WIN!" Jack declared looking right into Yusei eyes. Yusei could feel Jack's spirit starting to flow through him giving him more confidence and strength than he ever felt before. He closed his eyes and sighed and suddenly opened up like lightning with a smile on his face.
"Your right Jack. I can't lose this duel no matter what. I can't give up on making our own futures with or hands. If we are going down the path of destruction then I shall do whatever possible to stop it with my own two hands! I swear that I will protect this city and it's people in my own way without relying on the Crimson Dragon to help me! I swear that if you can hear this Crimson Dragon I have only one thing to say to you. You can keep your marks and your powers since I only want my friends and family and those who are precious to me to live happily in their own lives. And if I have to defeat Goodwin and go against you to it… SO BE IT!" He screamed to the skies. Clouds soon quickly formed over the temple with crimson lightning descending from them and landing around everyone.
"What's going on here?!" Luna screamed covering her head.
"This is the Crimson Dragon's power! It has descended upon us to watch this duel come to it's conclusion!" Goodwin noted looking up. Yusei could feel his mark burning and saw his deck beginning to glow on top in the form of a card. He could feel the Dragon's presence inside of him telling him to draw. Yusei smiled and closed his eyes while putting his hand to the card. 'Thank you Crimson Dragon. I now know what you truly want from us. I won't let this go to waste!'
"Goodwin! This is the end for you! I draw! he drew his card and knew that he had won the duel. I play the spell: Graceful Charity! I draw three cards and then discard two. Discards Shield Wing and Qulibolt Hedgehog. I now summon Debris Dragon in attack mode! Lv4 1000att 1000def. Now I play it's special ability! It can summon a monster in my graveyard with 500 or less attack points and I choose Shield Wing! Lv2 0att 900def. Now again I summon Qulibolt Hedgehog from the grave in defence mode! Lv2 800att 800def. Now I tune my three monsters to synchro summon: Stardust Dragon! Lv8 2500att 2000def. Now I can summon Stardust Xiaolong from the grave in defence mode! Lv1 100att 100def."
"So what do you plan on doing with that Yusei Fudo? Goodwin smirked. That dragon won't beat my emperor with it's level of power. I will guard against it's attack with my Wisel guard and then absorb it next turn. You have lost! "
"Wrong Goodwin! Thanks to the Crimson Dragon, I got just what I need to beat you since it has answered to my call!"
"It did WHAT?!" Goodwin steamed furiously at hearing that.
"What do you mean Yusei?!" Akiza asked to him with Jack still on her shoulder.
"I'll show you all right now with this! I play my final spell card and the gift of the Crimson Dragon: Majestic Calling! Now I can summon any monster with Majestic in it's name from my deck straight to the field in defence mode and I choose Majestic Dragon!" lv1 0att 0def
"Not that card! Your going to-"
"Your damn right he is jackass! Your finished Goodwin!" Jack interrupted and finished.
"I now tune my three monsters again to summon: MAJESTIC STAR DRAGON! Lv10 3800att 3000def. Now I activate it's special ability! I can negate any monster on the field and make it's effect's useless and I choose Wisel Guard!" Yusei declared pointing to it's arm.
"YOU CAN'T!" Goodwin bellowed at the top of his lungs.
"I CAN and WILL! Majestic Star Dragon, negate his monster and then attack it's head directly and end this duel!" Yusei commanded with all his heart as the dragon soared directly into the Machine Emperor's head and blew it into pieces. Goodwin lps 2000-0
"You did it YUSEI!" The girls cheered with great smiles on their faces seeing the emperor demolished.
"I knew you would be able to Yusei. That's my rival!" Jack smiled with Yusei smiling back. Meanwhile Goodwin had fallen to his knees in disbelief at what just happened. Seeing his emperor destroyed by a synchro was something he never thought would have been possible.
"How could this happen to me?! How could I lose when I was chosen to change the world?! Why have you defeated me so completely and have now left me with nothing?! What am I supposed to do now about the world without the Crimson Dragon's power?! Answer me Yusei Fudo! What do you expect me to do now about the world?!" Goodwin called to him with his fists pounding the ground in complete anger. Yusei walked up to Goodwin slowly with the girls coming in and surrounding him with sad looks on their faces. They all could see that he truly believed he was doing what he thought was right as well what would help the world change. Though they all knew that trying to change the world through power and force would only lead to a world of fear and despair.
"Goodwin. I can't answer that for you since I myself still don't know if what you said is truly going to happen or not. But I do know that if you had succeeded in doing what you wanted and removed synchro from the world then people would search for another source of power and would come to rely on that instead. We can't rule with power or fear otherwise people will never change because the people deep down in their hearts will come to hate you and despise you and the Crimson Dragon and then it's role as the people's protector as you mentioned before will have been destroyed. The Crimson Dragon wishes for the honest and balanced life of all living things as well as the freedom to live your own life by your own decisions."
"Yusei…" Akiza whispered in awe at hearing him speak so deep and calmly to someone who he just 10 minutes ago hated with all his heart.
"It's true that some people make mistakes in life and others abuse what they have and use it for the wrong reasons but we can't just declare them bad or worthless just because of that. We have to show people that they need to understand their mistakes and change their lifestyles to suit not only them but everyone around them. Evolution and escalation is something that we can never truly stop so long as people wish for it from their hearts. We can change the world by working with people to show them how to live their lives without hurting others. Not by forcing them with power or fear of something that is supposed to be protecting us."
"But how can I do that when I have never had any other way of living but the way I am now?! How can you expect people to change their ways so easily when they don't know any better?! You can't just tell someone to stop hurting others or to stop being greedy when they have been raised and shown it their whole lives! How can you say that we can change people so easily when you and I both truly now that they won't listen without a reason?! That is what the Crimson Dragon would do! It would protect them by keeping them in line! That IS it's protection!" Goodwin screamed over and over at Yusei now back on his feet again.
"No it's not Goodwin! That's just controlling others the same way you just said! If you use the Crimson Dragon for that reason then how are you any different from any of those people you just mentioned huh?!" Goodwin gasped as his eyes flew open at hearing Yusei's words.
"That's right Goodwin! People will not change because you are just caging them rather than teaching them!" Luna told him sadly with tears in her eyes from Yusei's strong words.
"Exactly! Just like how Yusei opened my heart and showed me the error of my past, I know he can do the same thing for others with time! Especially if we all help him together!" Akiza agreed smiling with Jack smiling as well as he got off Akiza's shoulder since he had regained enough strength to stand on his own.
"That's true. I used to be the same way when I was growing up. I used to think power was all I needed to make it in life and as long as I was on top I could do anything. But I soon learned that being at the top all alone is only a life of sadness and loneliness that has no truly happiness at all. I realized that without my friends there in my corner to give me true support and kindness I could never reach the top with a smile since I would have no one with me to truly see me as who I really am. All they would see me as is a man who did everything alone and has nothing but his power. That is not the true king I wanted to be. I want to be a true king who can connect to the people through respect and honesty! Not just power!" Jack declared with his strength back.
"I agree with Jack. Feelings connect people not actions. Which is why we need to show people that we truly care so they can see it themselves." Luna added to the conversation. As everyone went silent the crimson clouds reappeared over their heads and all the marks on Goodwin as well as Yusei's started to glow brightly. The five marks then vanished while the Crimson Dragon descended above them which made them all gasp at it's magnificent presence.
"The CRIMSON DRAGON!" Luna shouted looking up at it.
"What does it want with us now?!" Jack snapped. The Crimson Dragon then looked around at everyone they rose up and began to speak.
"Those who were the bearers of my power. I thank you for your honest and pure hearts. You all have shown true courage in following your own beliefs and paths to the very end and I wish to present to you a gift."
"What kind of gift?" Yusei asked directly as he wasn't sure what the dragon was about to do.
"I shall relieve you all of your marks and leave you all in peace. I had chosen you all to bear my marks since you all had shown a strong soul residing inside you. You all had the power and abilities to fight that which was soon to revive."
"What was about to revive?!" Akiza asked concerned.
"The Earthbound gods that I defeated with your fellow signer dragons thousands of years ago. They were stirring up underground and their seals were about to break until three powerful gods cards held by those who possess tremendous powers themselves resealed them back into the earth in my place. So now that the threat has been defeated my marks and my power are no longer needed and thus I shall relieve you of your marks and destinies as signers." The Crimson Dragon let out a mighty roar which shook the building and temple and drew the marks off of Goodwin and Yusei. The marks were then sucked into the Crimson Dragon's body and it silenced itself.
"Our marks." Jack sighed looking up.
"They are gone. It took them back from us." Akiza noted in agreement.
"I am truly sorry to all of you for what my marks have brought you in your lives as well as the pain I have put you all through. Rest assured that your psychic and spiritual powers young ladies will be removed as I take back the power that I bestowed on you in the beginning."
"So you ARE the one who gave me my psychic powers in the beginning!" Akiza screamed pointing in the dragon's face.
"You have always had your powers young one. My marks were simply an amplifier to them. And now I shall take my leave from this world. Farewell young ones who carry my will and heart. You are right in believing in the path of freedom and trust rather than power." As the Crimson Dragon rose into the sky it saw the four signer friends looking up at it with looks of confidence and purity in their faces showing it that it had nothing to worry about and with that vanished into a pillar of red light with it's marks. Goodwin who was still in a somewhat state of shock at what just happened sighed heavily and turned to Yusei and everyone else who sensed Goodwin's eyes on them turned back to him. Goodwin's eyes were now full of guilt and resentment as he now could see that his path wasn't the right on as he once thought. Hearing the Crimson Dragon's final words had truly opened him to the truth. A moment of silence fell over everyone until Yusei finally broke the silence by speaking up.
"Goodwin. I can't say that I have forgiven you for all that you have done to us and all the stuff you have just put us through. However, I will say that thanks to you we were able to learn the truth about everything as well as gotten the answers we had been searching for. So I will say this to you as someone who is thankful to you. Leave us alone from now on and from now on keep a tighter leash on your securities so that good honest people can live without worry of being treated like criminals just being different. Try and find a new path that you truly believe is the one you should follow in your life. I just want to find a path that makes the people I know happy as well as others who truly want and deserve it."
"Yusei…" Akiza smiled with a very heart filled expression on her face from his words.
"I'll agree with you on all that Yusei. But don't think that I will just let him go so easily." Jack stepped in.
"I don't wish to cause anymore violence Jack. He isn't worth it." Yusei warned him calmly.
"Yes Jack. I don't want to see anymore harm happen to anyone I know." Luna begged him honestly with innocent eyes.
"I was actually only going to ask for a favour from him Luna. Nothing more than that I assure you."
"What is it that you want?" Goodwin asked him kindly for the first time honestly.
"All I want from you is to put in a good word for me in the Turbo Duelling World Grand Prix. I plan on leaving this city to expand my duelling prowess around the world and I need a good reference." Akiza and Luna were in shock hearing these while Yusei knew all along that Jack was going to be going for that at sometime in his life.
"Very well Jack. I shall make sure you get your chance in making into the Grand Prix. Now if you all could kindly take your leave of this place. I wish to find myself right now and be alone for the time being." Everyone nodded quietly left the room and headed towards the exit. As everyone made it outside Jack sighed calmly and quickly shook his whole body.
"That man should be grateful the dragon showed up when he did otherwise I would have turned him black and blue for what he did to all of us. But hearing the Crimson Dragon's words and understanding them, I guess I couldn't help but think that if I did anything then it would have been ME being the bad guy."
"Yeah. I know what you mean since I felt the same way as you did in there Jack." Akiza admitted.
"Hey! Where's Leo?! Luna called out suddenly remembering what happened before. What's happened to him?! We got to find him!" She screamed out like crazy and was about to cry before Jack put his hand on her shoulder.
"I found him on the street all weak while looking for Yusei at the start of all this. So I took him back to Martha's and he should be resting there." He assured her.
"Thank goodness. She sighed putting her hands over her heart hearing Jack's words. Thank you so much Jack." She thanked him with a hug. He simply smiled and gave her a light hug back.
