Just wanted to point something out. Dan didn't do much against Broder, and true that performance is bad but to be fair that was his first Turbo Duel, and he didn't remember much about Team Ragnarok so that's why he did bad. But not to worry that will pass over here.
Disclaimer: I don't own Yu-Gi-Oh! in it's fullest but I own Dan here!
Dan was falling from the sky after the attack from Loki screaming falling down before something snatched him before he can hit the ground. He had his eyes shut tight but when he felt he wasn't hitting the ground he opened his right eye to see the road was moving below him. Blinking he noticed someone had caught him with it's Duel Runner.
"Well, I'll be a monkey's Uncle! Jack Atlas had caught that Young Man from crashing to the ground!" Melissa Trail announced.
Dan widen his eyes hearing that as he turned to see that he is in the left arm of a blonde haired man with a white turbo suit that has a 5D's Logo, wearing a white helmet having a blue victor, and his Duel Runner looks like a long wheel with some controls at the sides.
'J-Jack Atlas...!' Dan thought in shock that one of his favorite characters from crashing to the ground.
Jack stopped his Runner which was beside Broder, and told him, "Be more careful when you duel Broder! Otherwise this kid would've had a broken bone or worse!"
"Ah sorry Jack." Broder said rubbing his head sheepishly, "I put a little bit too much power in that last attack with Loki."
Jack only set Dan down standing up looking down at him with a serious stare which Dan find overwhelming, 'Oh that look is giving me the creeps...'
"Where did you find cards like that Dragon?" Jack asked him.
Dan gulped slowly standing up, "I-I always had it... Ever I founded him."
"Founded it huh? Like I haven't heard that before." Jack scoffed, "Either way your progress needs some work. You looked as though you hesitated a few times in that match, and I can tell you can do more but frankly you were distracted that you weren't thinking about it. Am I correct?"
Dan looked down at that knowing he's right. Had he been focused he would've summoned Hot Red Dragon Archfiend Abyss with Red Nova, and then when it inflicted damage he could then summon Hot Red Dragon Archfiend Bane which is stronger then both Loki, and his Malus Token which would defend him from the attack, and last him another turn. When he thought about that Dan grunted clenching his hands, "Yes... I would've lasted had I remained focused."
"Well you can make up for it in the Tournament." Jack told him looking at him as Dan looked up at him, "This was an Exhibition Match never a Tournament Match so you can make it up by doing what you can do by keeping your concentration. And I expect you not to falter during it."
With that said, and done Jack rode off as Dan stared on. At that people in white walked over to him.
(Cue Theme: Hyper Drive)
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.
Later...
Dan was escorted back to where the Lancers were waiting.
"Dan!" Riley called hugging him, "Are you okay?"
"Yeah I'm okay. Jack managed to save me from the blow." Dan smiled before frowning, "But he told me so things I should keep in mind. I need to stay focus, and not let the Turbo Duels get in my mind."
"Well you should get to know the rules of the Friendship Cup." Declan told him as he turned to him, "I was about to explain what the Friendship Cup's rules are."
At that Dan payed attention as they listened.
The Friendship Cup has over 28 competitors, and after each round's ending their are 28 Teams. All of the Duels are Turbo Duels, and some with be in their Regular Rules with the use of Speed Spells based on an arrow leaving the players to have time to prepare their Speed Spells until the current duel is over with Action Cards for other duels. The Team Duels composed of 3-on-3 Turbo Duels, and allowing use of Action Spells with a new Turbo Duel Field Spell to support Action Cards. The Team Duels also have 1 member to duel each, and if one loses they let another member take over with their field, and graveyard but a new hand, and new set of Life Points. And for a kicker the last player knocked out will have a chance to grab an Action Card until a Time Limit of 5 seconds to where they recover 1000 Life Points, and still be in the duel until the Life Points run out. This ability is called Last Chance you need to have at least 7 Action Counters with the new Turbo Field Spell in order to use it.
For Dan those rules are really similar to the WRGP with the Team Rules but figures that's good enough for him.
"I assigned us as Team Lancers which means any 3 of us can duel against an opposing Team Each Round." Declan told them.
"So when are these Team Matches?" Celina asked him.
"After the rounds of the regular matches." Declan answered, "The list is over there."
They look at the competitors of the regular matches.

Dan widen his eyes at several of the names at both of the lists but most shocked about Sayer. From what he knows Sayer was absorbed by Ccarayhua after he revealed that he was responsible for Misty's brother's disappearance (But he knows better that he killed him) but soon thinks that this is a different Sayer which might be a good thing but doesn't think so.
"And our matches are being decided at the moment, and we have over 30 minutes to prepare accurate Turbo Decks for the Regular Turbo Duels that is to come." Declan told them, "And you need to make them carefully."
"What about our Pendulum Cards? Wouldn't they be against the rules?" Sylvio asked the obvious.
"Normally but with the added benefit here's this. We can use our Pendulum Cards as long as we have Speed Counters that are equal or more then the monster's level." Declan answered, "So we can use Pendulum Monsters for our scales as long as we have enough Speed Counters."
"Well that might be a problem." Yuya admitted. "So which one of us is first?"
Declan pressed a button as a holographic screen showed the first four matches, "So far only two of us are dueling in these matches."
Match 1: Yugo vs Tetsu Trudge
Match 2: Celina vs Sherry Hogan
Match 3: Sayer vs Chojiro Tokumatsu
Match 4: Sylvio Sawatari vs Dipper O'rion.
'It is him!' Dan thought seeing the picture of Chojiro's opponent who is a brown haired man with a brown suit, and having a scar on his right eye, 'Sayer!'
"Dan? You look troubled." Yuya said seeing his expression.
Dan told them, "That guy Sayer, I know him. He is one of the bad guys from 5D's."
"The bad guys?" Gong asked shocked.
"Yeah, Sayer is known as a Psychic Duelist." Dan answered, "Their Duelists that can make their cards real, and actually do harm to their opponents if they wished. Sayer is the Leader of them from a building known as the Arcadia Movement, and once plot to use them to destroy New Domino but I don't remember. What I do know was that Sayer was absorbed by a really strong monster a while back. How is he back?"
"Maybe for a plot twist?" Sylvio guessed.
"We'll worry about Sayer in due time." Declan told them, "For now we better prepare our decks for the Turbo Duels that lies ahead."
Dipper, and Celina both nodded at that.
Meanwhile...
Yugo was ready on his runner with Zuzu beside him as an arrow appeared with two sides that shows Turbo Duel, and Action Turbo Duel. They been explained about the rules before this so they don't have to worry. The arrow started to spin before landing on Turbo Duel.
"Good old fashioned Speed Spell Dueling." Yugo grinned, "Wish me luck Zuzu."
"Yeah." Zuzu agreed as Yugo speed out.
Yugo stopped beside Trudge who looked ready, "A Sector Security Officer?"
"I'm a fired Officer, Polgo." Trudge answered.
Yugo snapped, "Hey, my name's Yugo!"
"Huh? Oh sorry." Trudge apologized for that.
"And now everyone time to start this roaring Duel with a Regular Turbo Duel here in the Friendship Cup's first match against Yugo, and Tetsu Trudge!" Melissa Trail called as they started at the finish line, "Activating Speed World 2!"
"Duel Mode Engaged, Auto Pilot Activated. Speed World 2 activated." the Duel Runners stated as a field appeared.
Speed World 2
Field Spell Card
If a player activates a non-"Speed Spell" Spell Card, they take 2000 damage. Except during the first turn of the Duel, during each player's Standby Phases, each player places 1 Speed Counter on their copy of this card (max. 12 each). You can remove any number of your Speed Counters from this card to activate an appropriate effect:
● 4: Reveal any number of "Speed Spell" Spell Cards in your hand, and inflict 800 damage to your opponent for each card revealed.
● 7: Draw 1 card.
● 10: Destroy 1 card on the field.
The Countdown started as they prepare themselves.
"3... 2... 1... Go!"
They sped off.

"And as Rubberband Plane is summoned you can say goodbye to your dog's 600 attack points!" Yugo called as Rubberband Plane fired things at Assault Dog.
Assault Dog: (ATK: 1200 - 600 = 600)
Trudge widen his eyes at this shocked.
"And now Rubberband Plane take this mutt to the pound!" Yugo called as his monster attacked Assault Dog destroying it. (Trudge: 2800)
Trudge grunted before smirking, "Guess you didn't know of this."
At that two more Assault Dogs appeared in place.
"See when Assault Dog is sent to the graveyard because of an attack, I can summon two more to take it's place." Trudge explained to him.
Yugo grinned, "Well that's just good news! Go Puzzle attack!"
His Synchro charged at another Assault Dog.
"And now as its's battling a monster that was Special Summoned, it has double the points!" Yugo called.
Hi-Speedroid Puzzle: (ATK: 1300 x 2 = 2600)
Trudge watched in shock as Puzzle destroyed a second Assault Dog. (Trudge: 1800)
"Oh boy, and Yugo already brought Trudge down to half his points!" Melissa Trail called as they rode pass a curve.
Trudge grunted before smirking, "You know at all. I'm about to teach ya a lesson. I activate the trap card, Chain Burst!"

"You forget! Since your Goyo Guardian was a Special Summoned monster Puzzle's attack points double!" Yugo reminded.
"Well whatever! Goyo Guardian's ability steals your monster under my command!" Trudge smirked as Goyo Guardian used it's chain at the graveyard portal, and pulled Puzzle out with chains around it, "But it's in defense mode for now."

His Tuner appeared in place.
"And now with it's Special Ability it makes Rubberband Plane have 1 more level!" Yugo called as Rubberband Plane glowed. (LV: 5 + 1 = 6) "And that allows Red-Eyed Dice to give Rubberband Plane a tune up!"

Goyo Guardian: (ATK: 2800 - 600 = 2200)
(Yugo: 1800)
"I don't know what your trying to pull but that's not enough for you to win!" Trudge told him.
Yugo grinned, "Yeah, I know which is why I had this! I play Clear Wing's ability! When a monster effect activates that targets a level 5 or higher monster it's negated, destroyed, and it gains it's attack points! Dichroic Mirror!"
Clear Wing shot a lethal light from his wings destroying Rubberband Plane.

"Holy-" Trudge didn't had time to finish.
"Battle! Clear Wing attack Stygian Street Patrol with Spin Storm Sky Strike!" Yugo called as his dragon charged colliding against Stygian Street Patrol destroying it as Trudge cried out.
Yugo: 1800
Speed Counters: 3
Trudge: 0000
Speed Counters: 3
Yugo wins the Duel!
Trudge's Runner stopped to access coolant as Yugo raced off.
"And in that hard before seen match it is Yugo that has emerged victorious against Tetsu Trudge with his trademark Clear Wing Synchro Dragon!" Melissa Trail called as Yugo grinned waving to the audience as Clear Wing roared.
Back at the Pit...
Hearing the audience they look to see Yugo just claimed victory against Trudge as he grinned waving to the crowd.
"I didn't expect for Yugo to lose." Yuya admitted to them.
"Which means since this match is over it's Celina's turn against Sherry." Declan told them.
Dan told Celina, "Celina be absolute careful. Sherry isn't an easy opponent to beat. She uses a deck called Sacred Knights that has a card called Fleur de Chevalier to stop any Spell you have."
"That means I need to use my Fusions carefully." Celina decided as on the screen appeared an arrow of a choice.
"This is what will tell us if we're having an Action Turbo Duel or a Turbo Duel." Declan explained to them as the arrow spin before stopping at Turbo Action Duel, "So now you can have an Action Duel without Speed Spells restricting you."
"Good for me." Celina nodded as she walked off ready to begin.
Dan looked on thinking, 'Celina... Be careful.'
Androzani84: This guy pointed out that Rubberband Plane wasn't summoned back from the graveyard after it was destroyed so sorry for that dueling error there. Also Androzani84 if your reading this thanks for pointing it out!
Ulrich362: He said that Goyo Guardian revives a monster it destroyed in defense mode in attack mode so Puzzle wouldn't attack Rubberband Plane anyway, along with I had mistaken Damage Condenser's effect with something else.
And that's our first Turbo Duel with the real Turbo Duel Rules here. And next up we see our Duelist from France ready to duel Celina. What can this Action Turbo Duel lead too? Find out next time! Be sure to review!
