bopdog111: Okay you all probably seen that 5D's Facility now has some elements of Arc-V's Facility mixed into it. Specifically using Duel Monster cards as currency for favors.
Ulrich362: True, though I don't think Yusei's very fond of that use for people's cards. Not to mention how Tanner treated Yanagi's.
bopdog111: So much so, that Yusei is gonna use that Deck in place of his own against Tanner. Of course, unaware to them, they are being watched now by someone.
Ulrich362: True, but who is that someone? And what's going on with Jack and Yugo?
bopdog111: Well, no sense asking if we're gonna find out, right?
Ulrich362: Right. Enjoy the chapter.

(Cue Theme: Hyperdrive)
Going fast makes me feel alive.
My heart beats in hyper drive.
Do you think you can win?
Only if I lose.
Just let destiny choose.
[Chorus]
I can hear you breathin'.
I can see you comin'.
I can feel the wind.
It's blowing me around.
Take a shot at me runnin' side by side.
It's a blur... as I go by.
[Chorus]
I can hear you breathin'.
I can see you comin'.
I can feel the wind.
It's blowing me around.
See the sun arising.
Fire in the sky.
Greatness thrusts itself into our lives.
In the Facility at probably nighttime was another duel about to happen. With some yelling over as inside the duel arena was Tanner, and Yusei already on the Duel Field, and Duel Disks loaded ready. After that match with Yanagi's Treasure Deck, Yusei is more then willing to prove to Tanner, that Yanagi's Treasure Deck does have some potential, and worth as he sees the true strategy of them, and will teach Tanner the true meaning of respect he seems to not realize.
Unaware to them though someone in what seemed like a robe on his body watching before he spoke on his Duel Disk. "Looks like Tanner is dueling again, and looks like a newb. He told Tanner, he will teach him the true meaning of respect."
"I see, keep me informed." a male voice stated. "This is hardly the first young duelist who thinks he's skilled... as for respect, he must earn it in here."
"Right boss." the robed figure mentioned turning to the duel.
"You don't have the skills to take me down! Especially if you think that weak-ass Deck, can help you out!" Tanner spoke over towards Yusei as if asking if he knows what he is doing after seeing the Treasure Deck in action from Yanagi's hands.
"This deck isn't weak Tanner, and I'm about to show you just what it can really do." Yusei told him calmly.
"That's what I intend to do." Tanner spoke with a smirk liking how confident this kid is, much more satisfying to crush.
"Ah, looks like he's willing to be embarrassed Tanner!"
"Yeah, he must be out of his mind!"
"Guess being crazy's contagious with the old guy!"
Yanagi looked pretty intimidated, and doubtful with himself at the taunting. He had believed in the Treasure Deck, and his faith had gotten him nowhere from how he sees it, and viewed on his match just now. And looks to him, that it's gonna get repeated, and he'll never get over it. "Uh, you don't have to do this, you can use you're Deck, that's better to use."
"If I don't do this, I'll never live it down." Yusei told him causing Yanagi to gasp.
'This young whippersnapper, there's something special about him and if I really saw what I think I did the other night... could this kid be who I think he is?' he thought, recalling the Crimson Dragon. "Who are you?"
"I'm just a guy trying to get by." Yusei answered as he activated Yanagi's Duel Disk.
"You lose here, rookie, and you'll never get respect, you survive on it!" Tanner smirked over readying himself.
"Then hope you don't lose." Yusei spoke back readying looking ready to finish this.
"LET'S DUEL!"
(Dueling Theme: The Chance by Blockhead)
Yusei: 4000
Hand: 5
Field: Nothing
Tanner: 4000
Hand: 5
Field: Nothing
Let the duel commence!
Tanner 1st Turn:
"Senior rules here, I'm up first!" Tanner is already checking his hand. When he sees what he has, he grins, this hand is perfect, what this kid, and those weak Treasures have won't work against what he has. With that in mind, he takes a card placing it on the field. "Alright, here's a pet of mine! Jirai Gumo!"
Raising was a large spider looking to be in Egyptian Ruins rose up giving a screech ready to tear into who dares to face it in battle.
(Attack Position)
Jirai Gumo
EARTH
Level 4
Insect/Effect
ATK: 2200
DEF: 100
When this card declares an attack: Toss a coin and call it. If you call it wrong, lose half your LP.
Seeing it Yanagi cried out in fright. "Spider!" He HATES spiders, having encountered them far too many times while collecting the Treasure cards.
"What's the matter gramps, the creepy crawly giving you the willies?"
"Come on Tanner, take this newbie down."
Tanner, of course, doesn't let these guys do the dueling for him. So he ignored the cheering over while taking two cards in his hand placing them down. "After I set these two, it's your move to go kid, and please not to embarrass yourself if you can't get them to work like Gramps." Taunting his opponents always been effective to provoke them, or shake there confidence, and have them lose there focus.
Tanner's Hand: 2/Field: Jirai Gumo (Attack Position), Two Set Cards
Yusei 1st Turn:
Yusei drew his card and looked at the cards.
"Well, any of the old man's lame cards looking good?" Tanner taunted causing Yanagi to look down with a frown.
"Yanagi, don't listen to what they're saying they don't know how powerful your deck can really be." Yusei reassured him knowing it's all empty threats.
"How can you say that? You saw how my duel went... everything I tried just ended up backfiring on me." Yanagi pointed out.
"Maybe, but let's see what happens when your cards are in the right hands." Yusei mentioned as it pulled out to show a screen where an overweight man in a security outfit noticed and dialed a phone number.
Eyeing the duel was some sort of large black skinned man with a mustache, goatte, and beard. This is Chief Armstrong, the person in charge of the Facility as it's warden. He had been instructed by Goodwin, a while ago to keep an eye on Yusei, as Jack had told him about the Signer Mark he had. He doesn't see anything remotely special about this kid, just another person who doesn't understand the real world. Still orders are orders so upon seeing him about to duel he moved dialing a number, and waits as it rings.
Meanwhile...
Arriving at a large mansion was Goodwin, Yugo, and Jack who is arriving by helicopter. Goodwin brought them here to discuss with them over about the Signers that he promised to tell them. While arriving he starts getting a call, and checking the contact is from the Facility answered it. "Yes?"
"Director," Chief Armstrong's voice spoke on the phone. "that kid, you want to keep an eye on looks like he's getting busy. He's about to duel the so-called Kingpin's best man."
"I understand." Goodwin nodded hearing that. "Make sure to keep a very close eye on that duel Mr. Armstrong, write a report and be certain to note anything unusual."
With that he hung up.
"Well, it seems that your friend is getting to know his new acquaintances in the Facility."
Jack just grunted at that while Yugo frowned, wanting desperately to say something but he felt like he needed to know what was going on, besides nobody in the Facility could beat Yusei in a duel so he was going to be ok.
"Now then, you two although I apologize for the events that happened," Goodwin started as two agent guards bowed to him which he opened the doors revealing his mansion as relic like tablets around the place of pictures. "But let me explain. So far, Jack, our relationship is on a need-to-know basis. Which meant, I know things you don't, things you, and him don't need to know. Until now." After entering an elevator he had his fingerprint, and eye scanned as the elevator headed down to a special level.
"Where are we going, some kind of secret Sector Security lab or something?" Yugo questioned seeing that. "It feels a little too high tech for that though."
The door opened revealing a large hall with a door that has lit flames in it as they walked together over before Goodwin spoke over to them while answering Yugo's question. "You see Yugo, Jack isn't special cause he is a great duelist, it's cause he is one that makes him important."
"Try saying something, that makes sense, Goodwin." Jack looks annoyed, he knows he's a great duelist, and not in the mood with word games to get that while the door opened.
"This door beyond lies your destiny." Goodwin walked through which the two followed seeing crimson light before turning seeing the door closing behind them.
"What is this, Goodwin?" Jack questioned with a raised eye looking at Goodwin.
"This is one of the world's most well-guarded secrets." Goodwin answered grinning looking over where the two can see some sort of shrine with large stairs. At the top of the gate at the base was a symbol a couple of pieces familiar to the two.
"That dragon!" Jack cried in shock.
"That's the same mark you and Yusei had!" Yugo cried in shock. "The Wings and... the Tail!"
"Listen very closely Jack, and I suppose you as well Yugo... the two of you are standing before the Stairway of the Crimson Dragon." Goodwin told them as Jack took his glove off and rolled up his sleeve to reveal the wing marking on his arm. "Originally it was in Peru but my predecessors relocated it here."
"That's a great story but what does that have to do with this mark on my arm?" Jack questioned looking at his mark.
"That mark on your arm represents the Wings of the Crimson Dragon, the same creature that you and Yusei somehow called forth during your match." Goodwin told him.
He then turned over to them. "Like I said before Jack, your more important then you thought." They turn to him hearing that to pay attention.
Back at the Facility...
It was just now Tanner's End Phase, and now it's Yusei's turn to go. Yusei knows this won't be easy but he trusts the Treasure Deck's power, and will show everyone, and Yanagi that it really does have amazing power. From the little he seen of it, and the cards in his hand, he knows the kind of strategies they can do. All he has to do is use them, how they're intended.
Looking at Yusei's hand Yanagi shivered. "Whatever you do sonny don't play the Crystal Skull."
"The Crystal Skull, that's a great idea." Yusei grinned taking the card despite Yanagi's warning. "I summon Crystal Skull in attack position!"
(Attack Position)
Crystal Skull
WATER
Level 1
Rock/Effect
ATK: 0
DEF: 0
If this card is Summoned: Take 1000 damage, then change this card to Defense Position. During the End Phase, if you did not take effect damage this turn: You can either add to your hand or Special Summon 1 Rock monster with 0 ATK from your Deck. You can only use this effect of "Crystal Skull" once per turn.
"Hey, wait, I said DON'T use it, don't you remember what it done to me!?" Yanagi was of course stunned that Yusei did the opposite of what he said which the Skull appeared before generating it's curse over at Yusei. Yanagi nervously bite at his fingernails. "Oh, don't say I didn't warn you..."
The other inmates all laughed from this, that Yusei knows that Crystal Skull damages him the moment it's summoned like a novice. From how this is looking to them, Tanner will beat this punk just as easy as the old man. Tanner, himself, however was the only one of them not amused in fact looked downright suspicious, and annoyed. Suspicious, cause he knows that Yusei remembers that the Crystal Skull is a self-damaging card when summoned, and annoyed, cause Yusei summoned it without hesitation without any regard for his LP. "You know that Skull's curse, so why would you summon something that damages you?"'
"That's a good question, why would I?" Yusei questioned which Tanner blinked over. Yusei takes a card activating it. "Unless I remembered the curse and had something to counter it, like my Curse Reflection Doll!"
Curse Reflection Doll
Quick-Play Spell Card
When a monster effect is activated that would inflict damage to you: Your opponent takes that damage instead. When you take battle damage, while this card is in your GY: You can Set this card. You can only use this effect of "Curse Reflection Doll" once per turn.
"Normally this reflects curses back to you, but I'm using it to turn my Skull's downside into an attack!"
"Oh it's that! I got it from a friendly shaman in Africa, although he never told me what it's about."
While Yanagi spoke this, a paper doll shaping as a hitogata that turned black from absorbing Crystal Skull's curse before splitting to lots of smaller doubles shooting over at Tanner who widen his eyes bracing himself against it toughing out the assault. (Tanner: 3000/Hand: 2)
"Hey, that new guy found some way to turn that curse into an attack..."
"Tanner ended up losing 1000 life points, and the new guy didn't took any damage at all."
Tanner stared over towards Yusei while the inmates discussed it over. From what he had learned from his time in the Pro Duel Circuit, it's to spot a good opponent. Now that Yusei is in control of the Treasure Deck, he managed to find a way to use the curses of the Deck to his advantage. Now this is making him feel fired up with a grin as he stared over towards Yusei.
"Woo, I'm glad someone else besides myself, can see the true worth of my Deck." Yanagi spoke smiling glad that their is someone other then him, that manages to see the true kind of priceless artifacts that the Treasure Deck has that others don't see, and Yusei found their playing style after seeing it in action only once.
"Well I never met a card I didn't like." Yusei pointed out making Yanagi gasp slightly. "An old friend once taught me how every card is important and you need to understand their power to figure out the best way to use it."
"So... you don't think my cards are worthless?" Yanagi asked with a few tears.
"Of course not, this is an amazing deck." Yusei smiled at him.
Hearing that Yanagi smiled. "I knew my treasures were good, I knew they were."
"Hey, don't sweat it Tanner, it was just dumb luck, is all!"
"Quiet." the inmates gasped hearing that while the big guy only grinned over. "That wasn't luck... I know, just the kind of opponent this kid, could be, and frankly, I'm quite interested!"
"Hey, is Tanner actually being nice for once?" one inmate asked the others with a slight gulp.
"I appreciate the compliment Tanner, now to end my turn since I didn't take any damage my Crystal Skull automatically summons my Cabrera Stone from my deck in defense position."
A blue stone appeared next to the Crystal Skull that has engravings of dinosaurs, or humans on it.
(Defense Position)
Cabrera Stone
EARTH
Level 1
Rock/Effect
ATK: 0
DEF: 0
If this card is Summoned: You can add 1 "Triangle O" from your Deck to your hand, then if this card is in Attack Position, change it to Defense Position. You can only use this effect of "Cabrera Stone" once per turn. If this card is destroyed by battle or card effect: Take 1000 damage.
"That ends my turn so it's your move Tanner."
"What's some little rock gonna do...?"
"It's the Cabrera Stone! A lost civilization has it, and stones called ica stones on that tells of engravements of-"
"Nobody cares, old man so zip it!" another inmate snapped towards Yanagi which made him stop his lecture.
Yusei's Hand: 4/Field: Crystal Skull (Attack Position), Cabrera Stone (Defense Position)
Yusei: 4000
Hand: 4
Field: Crystal Skull (Attack Position), Cabrera Stone (Defense Position)
Tanner: 3000
Hand: 2
Field: Jirai Gumo (Attack Position), Two Set Cards
Tanner 2nd Turn:
"My move again, I draw!" Tanner drew checking over. Seeing his drawn card, he grinned over seeing it was an evolved form of his monster he used against Yanagi in his earlier match. He looked over towards Yusei. "Well kid, we will see if those stones can help cause, I got a little something that's eager to turn them to dust! First I'll need a little help! Leghul!"
Raising was a blue shelled, yellow body centipede like monster with red eyes growling over.
(Attack Position)
Leghul
EARTH
Level 1
Insect/Effect
ATK: 300
DEF: 350
This monster may attack your opponent's Life Points directly.
"Now, why do that, that monster isn't very powerful..."
"Just wait, old timer, the real show's about to begin." That worries Yanagi who is skeptical over what Tanner has in mind from how this is looking.
"Okay then kid, I think you might remember the card, I used on Gramps?" Tanner questioned if Yusei remembers the Great Maju Garzett around that time.
"I remember." Yusei frowned indeed remembering the card. "Fortunately for me you already summoned a monster this turn so I don't have to worry about your Great Maju Garzett wiping out my life points for now."
"Maybe that one but I got something better!" Jirai Gumo, and Lenghul charged over being sacrificed. "Cause by sacrificing these two, I can summon it's Legendary form! Legendary Maju Garzett!"
Readying was Great Maju Garzett just in a different form that's more powerful then that counterpart having larger demonic wings with a gray hide readying on the field.
(Attack Position)
Legendary Maju Garzett
DARK
Level 8
Fiend/Effect
ATK: 0
DEF: 0
Cannot be Normal Summoned/Set. Must be Special Summoned (from your hand) by Tributing all monsters you control. This card's ATK becomes the combined original ATK of the Tributed monsters. If this card attacks a Defense Position monster, inflict piercing battle damage.
"And now it's attack points become the attack points of all the monsters, I used to summon it!" At that his monster gained great strength in power.
Legendary Maju Garzett: (ATK: 0 + 2200 + 300 = 2500)
Yusei's eyes widened seeing the monster as he winced seeing it. "That could be a problem."
"Not as much, as you'll see here! Cause now Legendary Maju Garzett will attack that stone!" The monster charged in at Cabrera Stone as Yanagi screamed in horror while Yusei narrowed his eyes only watching as the demon effortlessly destroyed Cabrera Stone without any mercy. "You might think, you're safe as it's in Defense only if Legendary Maju Garzett attacks your monster in Defense Position, you still take damage!"
Legendary Maju Garzett charged flames in it's wings shooting them down at Yusei who takes it without as much as a flinch. (Yusei: 1500/Hand: 4)
Tanner smirked also getting a combo from that. "And correct me if I'm wrong, Gramps..." Yanagi blinked hearing Tanner is now talking to him. "Doesn't that stone that was just destroyed deal 1000 points of damage when it's turned to dust?"
"That... yes, it does." Yanagi frowned as Yusei braced himself as the shattered remains of the Cabrera Stone struck him.
(Yusei: 0500/Hand: 4)
"Ah yeah, that was awesome!"
"The new guy, just doesn't have it takes to beat Tanner. He is the Kingpin's best duelist for a reason!"
"Well, kid... are you really the loser these punks say you are, or are you any different!?" Tanner spoke loudly over towards Yusei ending his turn while Yusei narrowed his eyes.
Tanner's Hand: 1/Field: Legendary Maju Garzett (Attack Position/ATK: 2500), Two Set Cards
Meanwhile back at the mansion...
"Now then Jack, Yugo... let me explain how this works. I am the 360th guardian of the star. My order was called many names throughout history but we had only seek to maintain the balance of the world, and the universe by taking the Oath of Iliaster." Goodwin turned over towards Jack, and Yugo after speaking that as they stared at him.
"The what?" Jack questioned hearing that.
"Oath of ill what? Is that some kind of cult thing?" Yugo asked in confusion.
"It isn't a cult, it is the power that gives every single thing in the universe its innermost essence as well as its outer form." Goodwin explained to them so they can understand. "The universe itself, energy, even mankind. Iliaster is the force that connects all of these things and binds them together."
"Glue, you're telling us that you swore an oath to magical glue." Jack frowned.
"You can joke about this all you want Jack, but you remember the mark you have?" Goodwin questioned over to him to make sure he's paying attention. "It means that now you're a part of something much greater, and if Yusei, really does have a mark like you claim, then he's a part of this as well."
They stared over having mixed reactions. Of course Jack is destined for great things but Yusei can't be destined for those things. At least that's how Jack sees it, while Yugo is the other way around.
Meanwhile back at the Facility...
Yusei 2nd Turn:
Yusei drew his card before looking at his hand and smiling. "Alright Tanner, I'll start this duel by summoning the monster, Ashoka Pillar!" From that Ashoka Pillar rose up beside the Crystal Skull ready for whatever happens next.
(Attack Position)
Ashoka Pillar
EARTH
Level 3
Rock/Effect
ATK: 0
DEF: 2200
If this card is Summoned: You can add 1 Equip Spell from your Deck to your hand, then if this card is in Attack Position, change it to Defense Position. You can only use this effect of "Ashoka Pillar" once per turn. If this card is destroyed by battle or card effect: Take 2000 damage.
Seeing the monster the inmates all started to laugh.
"Oh how scary, I summoned a big stick."
"Now you've got us real scared... we're quaking in our boots."
"Knock it off!" Tanner yelled at the prisoners who stopped frightened. He then turned back over grinning towards Yusei. "I'm interested to see what he can squeeze out of that Deck of the old man's, you got something else to use kid?"
"You could say that Tanner." Yusei replied. He takes another card activating it. "I use the spell card Stonehenge. This spell brings back my Cabrera Stone from the graveyard."
Stonehenge
Equip Spell Card
Target 1 monster with 0 ATK in your GY; Special Summon it in Attack Position, and if you do, equip it with this card. When this card, equipped by this effect, leaves the field, destroy that monster. You can only activate 1 "Stonehenge" per turn.
Cabrera Stone reappeared surrounded by the Stonehenge rocks.
Cabrera Stone: (Attack Position/Equipped with Stonehenge)
Stonehenge: (Attack Position/Equipped with Cabrera Stone)
"Oh wow, this is an archeological dream coming true! The Crystal Skull, the Ahshoka Pillar, and the Cabrera Stone all in the same place, at the same time! I'm getting historical goosebumps!" Yanagi cheered over seeing all three of the treasures he had found are all gathered seeing the kind of strength they have under Yusei's hands.
Tanner, himself stared ahead at Yusei seeing he has them all on the field at once. His face-downs are Mirror Force, and Trap Hole. Trap Hole has no effect as none of Yusei's monsters have 1000 or more points, and as they don't have attack points to trigger it, Mirror Force can't destroy his monsters. But that doesn't matter to him, it certainly reminds him of his old days of the Top Speed World Circuit back in the old days... the heart pumping, his blood racing, the greatest feeling he ever experienced. But it wasn't until the championship he had attempted to where he had faced Jack Atlas, who had defeated him easily in just one turn. It all eventually had him ended up here in the Facility, but he likes this kid, he reminds him of well... himself.
"Hang on, what is that guy trying to do? Even if defense doesn't work, he's crazy if he doesn't have them in Defense Position. So what is he doing?" a prisoner asked skeptical of what Yusei is doing.
"No idea, maybe he finally snapped... he is roommates with the old guy so you think crazy is contagious?"
"It might be."
"Winning this duel." that made them blink over hearing that. "Now that I have Crystal Skull, Ashoka Pillar, and Cabrera Stone all on my field at the same time I can activate another spell card. I play Triangle O!"
Triangle O
Normal Spell Card
If you control "Crystal Skull", "Ashoka Pillar", and "Cabrera Stone": Destroy all cards on the field, also for the rest of this turn, your opponent takes any effect damage you would have taken instead. You can banish this card from your GY, then target 1 each of "Crystal Skull", "Ashoka Pillar", and "Cabrera Stone" in your GY; shuffle them into the Deck, then draw 3 cards. You can only use 1 "Triangle O" effect per turn, and only once that turn.
"Oh, it can't be!" Yanagi called shocked as Tanner widen his eyes where the card formed a power triangle extending all over the field.
"Wait, what's going on-!" Tanner started looking around shocked before noticing every card on the field is cracking.
"He's destroying everything!" a prisoner yelled out in shock from what he is seeing.
"Amazing, now I can finally see, what this can REALLY do!" Yanagi called in excitement to finally seeing what this kind of spell can do now that it's conditions are met.
"Triangle O destroys every card on the field, and then you take all the damage from my monster's effects Tanner!" Yusei revealed to him.
From that all the cards broke apart including Legendary Maju Garzett. Then the shards of the three destroyed monsters formed up before charging in as Tanner yelled out getting hit all over from the stones before dropping to a knee.
Yusei: 0500
Hand: 2
Field: Nothing
Tanner: 0000
Hand: 1
Field: Nothing
Yusei wins!
The figure who had been watching widen his eyes. Tanner lost? Well this is something he didn't except, Tanner was the Kingpin's best duelist, and now, Tanner had been beaten by someone who used the Deck of his previous opponent. He has to let his boss know. So he quickly said on his Duel Disk. "Boss, boss!"
"What is it?" a voice questioned over.
"This new guy named Yusei... he beat Tanner without attacking once, and he did it with that old timer Yanagi's cards." the figure mentioned.
He heard nothing for a few seconds which honestly makes him nervous. Whenever he hears silence, he meant it's him thinking which is bad to happen as he has absolute power, and is trying what to use it for.
Eventually he got his answer. "Keep an eye on the kid, have a guard give the note to Tanner."
"Of course sir, whatever you say." the figure mentioned as two of Tanner's lackey's looked angry while beside him as he stood up.
"So what if he beat you Tanner this punk is still scum to us."
"Yeah, you and the Kingpin are the real top dogs around here so we'll just take that Treasure Deck for you."
Tanner however blocked them with his arms before approaching Yusei.
"You just won a duel without declaring an attack, that's pretty impressive." Tanner mentioned. Yusei who had managed to get Yanagi off of him after hugging, turned over towards Tanner who grinned at him. "And I'm know what I am talking about, kid. The old man was right, I used to be a pro like he said... But I never dueled someone like you. So you got a name kid?"
"It's Yusei, Yusei Fudo." Yusei replied calmly.
Hearing that Tanner nodded before turning to Yanagi.
"Hey gramps, I apologize for stepping on your cards earlier." Tanner mentioned.
"Oh, it's all water under the bridge now... you might have had me doubting my cards but Yusei showed me how amazing they are." Yanagi grinned as Tanner smirked and turned to Yusei.
"My time as a pro might be over, but I'll do everything I can to get you into that spotlight. Interested?" he asked as Yusei grinned taking his hand.
"Definitely."
Meanwhile in Goodwin's underground temple...
"This is the Shrine of Iliaster." Goodwin spoke as he walked to the two with him to the shrine area directing to some carvings. "These carvings here, speak of ancient myths, and legends surrounding my order. How the universe begun, the dawn of time, birth of civilization, the creation of my order, the great war of demons, all of that." He then smiled over towards them before raising an arm. "Now come, you two, allow me to take you two on a journey through time."
Suddenly the area around them started to change shape through clouds as they looked around before seeing the shrine where some robed people are as Goodwin turned to start explaining the story.
"Long ago in Incan-Civilization in South America, the people of the stars built a giant building of stone called the Stairway of the Dragon. It was built, to honor the Dragon Star, which is said to govern all of creation. All the wisdom the star held was passed down to the ruler of those people, the Star Dragon King." They see a golden armored, and blue robed man was raising up holding his arms out to a large glowing crimson star. "Led by the star, and the king, the people of the stars built a civilization that was prosperous. But the Gate to the dark realm known as the Shadow Realm had opened, the legends spoke of sinister demons and spirit had lead by the Demon Lord, known as the King of the Underworld engaged the Dragon Star in a great war. The Star Dragon King had climbed the staircase, and prayed for the Dragon Star to help his people, which was granted."
From that the Crimson Dragon such as they seen before emerged down letting out a loud roar ahead glowing crimson. "The Crimson Dragon had came from the heavens and swept the land, sealing the King of the Underworld, and it's demons deep beneath Earth."
"Such as the dirt?"
"Indeed. Behold..." Goodwin raised an arm where the scene changed again where they see giant carvings on the ground. Carvings of animals.
Yugo and Jack's eyes widened seeing the huge markings.
"Wait, aren't those the legendary Nasca Lines?" Jack questioned seeing them. Of course, he would know them, there legendary works of art as one of the world's most well-preserved natural pieces of art. Nobody knows how they came to be, or who had created them, there were lots of theories, and speculations.
"Wait, you're telling me this Crimson Dragon sealed the King of the Underworld and its allies underground?" Yugo asked before his eyes widened. "Wait a second! You said the Crimson Dragon was the monster Yusei and Jack summoned... does that mean... it's connected to our dragons?"
"Indeed. The Crimson Dragon had sealed them beneath the Earth, but even then," Goodwin started as the area around them changed to what New Domino City looked like before. "they feed off our sadness, greed, jealously, any negative emotion that we feel. Soon the King of the Underworld's forces will gain enough strength to break free, and more then before, to pillage the Earth."
Jack, and Yugo widen their eyes realizing the severity of what they just learned. So the Crimson Dragon was what had stopped these demonic forces before, and now from all the negative emotions they are unintentionally giving them power, they need to break out of those seals.
"On the day the seal breaks and the King of the Underworld returns, my order will be ready to protect humanity by summoning the Crimson Dragon." Goodwin speak towards them all seriousness in his tone. "To do that, we must gather the remaining Signers, they each bear power of the Crimson Dragon such as you, and Yusei, Jack." He then turned over towards Yugo. "He, however, we don't know what kind of connection he has towards the Signers, but if his dragon can produce Ener-D by itself, it should be possible he is meant to assist you all against this threat."
"Of course I'll help Jack and Yusei." Yugo answered immediately.
"So in other words, you need me to save the world? You should have just said that from the start." Jack mentioned looking at his mark.
Ulrich362: Yusei beat Tanner with Yanagi's deck and caught the eye of some seemingly very powerful people... oh, and it turns out Jack and him are vital to stopping the end of the world... and let's throw in whatever's going on with Yugo's Clear Wing Synchro Dragon, she's important somehow too.
bopdog111: Well of course, she is. The only question is how exactly is she important here, if he's not a Signer?
Ulrich362: That's a good question, maybe Goodwin will look into it... with Yugo being there just in case, as Jack handles an old opponent of his and Yusei meets this Kingpin?
bopdog111: Or maybe Yugo handles this old opponent, in exchange for a chance to duel Jack?
Ulrich362: Oh, that sounds fun. See you in the next chapter.
bopdog111: Be sure to review!
