Yu-gi-oh 5d's my story 4

(All is quiet in the futuristic metropolis of New Domino City, three minutes after midnight. Even at this late hour, the city is lit up. Yusei is sitting astride his runner, looking up at Jack, who's at the railing on the edge of the highway above.)
Jack: So, Yusei! You made good time, didn't ya! I hope Officer Trudge didn't inconvenience you *too* much. Please don't take it personally-- he's just doin' what I *pay* 'im to do! Now, then, what brings *you* here?
Yusei: I want my Stardust Dragon back!
Jack: Hmm! And I guess you'll be wanting your runner back as well.
Yusei: I don't need it.
Jack: So it's just the card? I would've thought you'd moved on by now, since it seems you've gotten over losing your runner already. By the way-- how's the new one treatin' ya?
Yusei: I got no complaints. And how's the one ya stole from me? Still running well, I hope?
Jack: You never *could* let go of anything, could you, Yusei?
Yusei: I never *was* one to forgive and forget. Now *where's my card?*
Jack: What's the rush, don't you want to catch up on old times? And by the way, who's your new friend?
(Cortez clenches his fist at his side)
Cortez: So your the jerk that stole his card! Where is it!?
Jack: Oh, you mean this old thing here?
(Jack pulls the card out of his pocket and, with a flourish, shows it to Yusei and Cortez.
Jack: Does it still look the same?
Yusei: How *could* you, Jack.
Jack: That card was wastin' away with you in the Satellite. I couldn't bear to watch it sit in the hands of a loser.

(Flashback. Stardust Dragon sparkles with iridescent light, raining shimmering holographic glitter over the streets of the Satellite, hovering above a rider on a white duel runner. Tank, Nervin, Blitz, and Rally watch and cheer.)
Yusei (VO): But Jack, how could you take it, when you knew it was the only hope our friends had of getting out of the Satellite? It was meant to help us all!
(End Flashback)

Jack: Well it certainly helped *me* when I got to New Domino City! And to show my thanks, you can have your precious dragon card back! (throws it; Yusei catches the card) Here, take it! I sure don't need it anymore!
(Yusei looks at the card, and past it, then closes his eyes. He can't accept it this way. That made Cortez gasp)
Jack: What now, Yusei? Are you having second thoughts?
Yusei (throws it back): No, Jack.
Cortez: Why Yusei?
Yusei (gets off his runner): I want the card, but I want to make you pay for what you did more. And when I beat you, *then* I'll take my card back.
Jack: Hmm. You always were a dreamer. Well, get ready! Because here comes your wakeup call! And since Yusei is going to duel me, you can always watch the duel.

(The 3 duelists ride out of a tunnel and onto the highway, surrounded by glimmering buildings. At this late hour, they're the only ones on the road.)
Yusei: When're you going to tell me where we're *heading*, Jack?
Jack: Stop your worryin'; and enjoy the view already! So whaddaya think of New Domino City? It's a little step up from the Satellite, isn't it? But if you get homesick, I'm sure I can find a *trash bin* for you to *play* in.
(As Jack speaks, we notice that Domino City is more than a *little* step up from the Satellite; it's all brushed steel, city lights, and skyscrapers.)
Yusei: Are we gonna duel, or are you gonna play 'tour guide' all night?
Jack: Heh, heh. Well since you worked so hard to get here, I figured I'd show you the sights before you get shipped back to the Satellite Sector.
Yusei: We'll see about that.
Jack: Yes, we will! Looks like we're here. Welcome-- to the Kaibadome!
Cortez: So this is New Domino City.
Jack: Sure is. Word is, your not from here or the satellite. Since your not a satellite, I can offer you a room in the hotel, if you like?
(Ahead, the stadium of the pros looms. A security camera is observing their approach)

(Meanwhile, in a skyscraper somewhere in New Domino...)
Zigzix: Whoa-ah! So you see?
(Professor Zigzix, New Domino City's kooky chief of engineering, is addressing Goodwin, seated at the biggest, fanciest desk, and several other suits seated at the sides of the room.)
- See what, professor? An excuse to get dizzy?!
Zigzix: No, an incredible breakthrough! Our spinning generator has gone into, into o-o-overdrive!
(Zigzix speaks animatedly, first rotating his torso, then swinging one arm, then the other, around in circles. Then he spins around on one toe, looking up at Goodwin through his orange-tinted glasses.)
Zigzix: Seeee? Just like this, watch the arms, people! Whoa! I know just what you're thinking-- is this a big new dance craze or what?! Well, it's no-ot!
(Zigzix swings his arms upward on 'cars', punches downward on 'lights', and rotates his whole torso around on 'whoah, turbo-duels!')
Zigzix: As you know, our generator powers cars, lights, and who-oah, turbo-duels! It controls the whole city, everything we do!
(Goodwin speaks tightly, grumpy and tried for sleep.)
Goodwin: Professor, we know all of that. We're just wondering why you called us to this meeting at half-past-midnight. And it had *better* be important.
Zigzix: Well, yes. Yes it is, sir.
Goodwin: Then you can stop your dancing and get to the point. Or should I begin looking for a new director of engineering?
Zigzix: Hahaha! Just watch the big screen, Mister Goodwin.
(A big holographic screen appears out of the air, and shows schematics of Zigzix's reactor.)
Zigzix: It appears there's more energy being produced by this generator than we ever thought was possible! It's like a perpetual motion machine-- <6:00> the more energy it produces, the more powerful it becomes! And guess what?
(Zigzix starts spinning again)
Zigzix: As long as it keeps spinning round-a-round-a-round, we, sir, will be the maste-e-e-e-e-ers of the unive-e-e-e-e-erse!! (clears throat) I mean that *you* are master of the universe, Mister Goodwin, sir. That's what I meant of cou--
Mina: Pardon the intrusion.
(Mina, a young woman with cute short hair and a neat suit, walks over to Goodwin.)
Goodwin: Yes, Mina?
Mina (whispered behind her hand): Mister Atlas is missing.
Goodwin: What?! Professor.
Zigzix: Ye-e-es?
(As he speaks, Goodwin climbs down from his giant desk and leaves the way Mina entered the room.)
Goodwin: There's another problem I must attend to, but this is all very intriguing. I want you to find out exactly what this power supply is capable of. And professor, next time save it 'til the morning.
Zigzix: Of course, sir!

(Hallway. Goodwin walks down the hall, Mina at his shoulder.)
Goodwin: So what you're saying is Jack just *vanished*? I assigned you to be his personal handler; now if anything unfortunate should happen to him, I'm holding you personally responsible! <7:00>

(Lezar stands alone, in an observation room at the top of some big department with dozens of lackeys working at computer screens.)
Lezar (think): Someday this will all be--
Goodwin: Lezar.
Lezar: Ah, my dear Mister Goodwin. I've been waiting for you.
(He bows to Goodwin, then notices Mina)
Lezar: Hm! I see you brought the troublemaker.
(A screen on the wall lights up, showing an aerial view of Yusei and Jack standing with their runners on the track of the Kaibadome. Smaller holographic screens appear beside the main one, showing images of Yusei and Jack, one of which is zoomed in on each duelist's face.)
Lezar: Well lucky for her, we've found Mister Atlas. But we're not sure who's with him.
Goodwin: It's the satellite duelist, Yusei Fudo.
Lezar: But sir, I thought it was highly *illegal* to duel against a satellite duelist.
Goodwin (staring at Jack on the monitor in front of them): That's why what we see here, *stays* here. I want to see how Jack handles himself on his own. But just in case, keep all guards on standby.

(At the Kaibadome, Cortez, Jack and Yusei stand on the track in the dark, empty stadium.)
Jack: This duel dome's impressive, isn't it? Television just doesn't do it justice. Now imagine it filled with thousands of adoring fans, all of 'em chanting your name and cheerin' you on! But that's something you're never going to experience, Yusei! 'Cause after *this* duel, the only people cheerin' you on will be your loser friends back in the Satellite. And that's if they don't all turn their backs on you once you return without *their* Stardust Dragon! Well almost everyone. I'm sure your friend would be proud to cheer you on, right ciheer leader?
Cortez (grunt): Yusei, I hope you beat this jerk!
Yusei (nodded): You bet I will Cortez.
(Jack holds up the card, and suddenly some lights come on in the stadium, glinting off of Stardust. Yusei shields his eyes for a moment, startled.)
Jack: I wish I could be there to see their faces when you try explaining to them how you had their card, but got greedy and turned it down in order to duel *me*! You're gonna regret ever coming here, Yusei!
(Jack lowers the arm holding up Stardust, and lifts the duel disk on his arm, his expression daring Yusei to stop him.)
Jack: 'Cause I'm gonna beat you with your own card.
(He adds the Stardust Dragon card to his own deck, slotted into the duel disk.)

(Goodwin, Lezar, and Mina are watching their monitor silently; the tension in the stadium can be felt even from there.)
Goodwin (think): This should be interesting.

(Back at the Kaibadome, Jack plugs his duel disk into his runner and lowers his visor)
Computer: Turbo-duel activated.
(Yusei puts down his visor, left hand on the control toggle, deck ready, foot on the gas. Jack looks back over his shoulder from the first starting block.)
Jack: Now then. Try not to get scared, wilya? This course can be really rough on first-timers!
(Jack presses a button below his runner screen.)
Computer: Duel mode engaged. Autopilot standing by.
(Both duelists' screens change to display a diagram of the dueling field. The tension ramps up as waves of power ripple out, broadcast by the two runners, and the sky above the Kaibadome turns pink. Both duelists are revving their motors, tense and prepared to take off. Their lifepoints start at 4000 apiece.)
Both: Let's ride!
(Jack is off first, Yusei close behind, skidding a bit, probably on the unfamiliar track)


Jack: Yusei, I always did enjoy dueling you. We've been battling with these monsters in our decks since we were *kids*! And this, old friend, is gonna be a trip down memory lane.
Yusei (draws): Here's to history! I summon Quillbolt Hedgehog in defense mode!
[Quillbolt Hedgehog 800/800/L2/earth]
Jack: Well! Now isn't that a blast from the past!
(Both duelists' speed counters increase to 1 at the beginning of Jack's turn)
Jack: As is-- this! My Mad Archfiend!
[Mad Archfiend 1800/0/L4/dark]
Cortez (think): Mad Archfiend? (he checked his computer and got info on it) I see, when he attacks a monster in defense mode, if its attack is greater than the defending monster's defense points, the opponent still takes damage. I hope Yusei be careful about this.
(Jack swerves up onto the bowled edge of the track, pivoting as he does. He's driving backwards.)
Jack: Well, Yusei, this is just like old times, just two hundred miles per hour faster! Now, Mad Archfiend, stick it to that Quillbolt! Things seem to have started the way our last duel ended-- with *you* losing precious lifepoints!
Yusei: Uuugh! You'll regret doing that, Jack!
(Yusei's speed counter falls back to zero; his lifepoints are at 3000)
Jack: Yusei, the only thing I'm gonna *regret* is that this duel isn't being broadcast to the millions of fans around the globe who cheer for me night after night! They've earned the right to witness my greatest challenge ever, and my greatest victory! You *do* realize that you're gonna end up losing this battle tonight, don't you? The only witnessed we have to see this, is your friend here! (looks at Cortez) Right?
Cortez: You just keep talkin', Jack.

(Spectators.)
Lezar: There's no need for you to be concerned, Mister Goodwin. This satellite, he is nothing. I'll have him arrested, and that will put an end to all of this silliness once and for all. And then, we can ship this Yusei off to the Facility where he won't cause any more problems. Just say the word, and my men will stop this.
(Goodwin isn't listening, his eyes fixed on the screen.)

(Duel; both sets of speed counters increase, making Jack's total 2, and Yusei's 1.)
Yusei: I'm up to speed! Huh! (draw) And now I can summon Junk Synchron to the field in attack mode!
Jack (think): My blender's got more horsepower!
Yusei: Remember when I said you'd regret taking out my Quillbolt? Well here's why! See, thanks to my Junk Synchron's special ability, I can bring it back to the field!
Jack: Big deal! Yusei, you'll need to do *better*!
Yusei (reacts to this): And I *will*!
(Junk Synchron yanks the cord attached to the motor on its back, and the motor starts to glow.)
Yusei: I tune my Junk Synchron with my Quillbolt Hedgehog to synchro-summon, Junk Warrior!
(Junk Synchron glows brighter and brighter, and turns into three shining stars, that form rings in formation around Quillbolt. The little hedgehog starts to radiate light, and dissolves into its two stars. The stars and rings form a beam of light, out of which emerges...)
Yusei: Let's rev it up!
[Junk Warrior 2300///]
Jack: If that's the best you got, you're in trouble!
Yusei: I think the only thing in *trouble* right now is your Mad Archfiend! Junk Warrior! Send 'im to the scrap heap!
(Junk Warrior attacks and destroys Mad Archfiend. Jack isn't worried; he looks condescendingly pleased that Yusei has finally landed an attack. His lifepoints now stand at 3500.)
Cortez (excited): Alright!
Jack: Hmm. It's my turn now. (he drew a trap; he has an idea) Hm. I summon Twin-Shield Defender in defense mode!
[Twin-Shield Defender /1600//]
Jack: Plus I'll throw down a li'l facedown for later.
Cortez (think): Mm. I don't like this at all; it's not like Jack to toy around. He usually cuts right to the chase. What're you planning?
Jack: You thinkin' about givin' up already? Ya can if ya like!
(Yusei's hand catch a glimpse. Harmonia Mirror, Ghost Gardna, Speed Warrior, Counterattack Beacon, and Meteor Stream.)
Yusei: Hah! (draws) I summon, Speed Warrior!
[Speed Warrior 900///]
Yusei: And now his nine hundred attack points are added to Junk Warrior's! But you know that already, don'tcha, Jack! It's the same combo I used back in the Satellite to get Security off your back! If it weren't for me and my Junk Warrior, you might still be rotting in the Facility!
Jack: Hm. Whaddayou want, a thank-you? Well you're not gettin' one!
Yusei: Hggh. And now, due to my Speed Warrior's special ability, his attack points are doubled, so say goodbye to your Twin-Shield Defender!
Jack: And *you* can say goodbye to half a' your Junk Warrior's attack points now. See, by destroying my Twin-Shield Defender, you activated its special ability! Bet you're glad Sector Security wasn't as prepared as I am when you stepped in to *save* me!
Yusei: Really? Because you just left yourself wide-open for an attack! (think) ...Just as long as that card stays facedown. (aloud) I've been waiting to do this since our last duel, Jack! (Jack smiles) Junk Warrior, attack him directly!
(Jack drops a speed counter and falls to 1900 lifepoints)
Cortez: Good work Yusei. Keep it up!
Jack: Remember how you said you 'saved' me, Yusei?
Yusei: Yes?
Jack: Well the whole thing was a setup to get me closer to your runner, and that dragon card of yours was an added bonus!
Yusei: That is a lie!!
Jack: Wishful thinking, Yusei. See, I knew exactly what your duel runner was capable of, and when I saw an opportunity, I took it!
Yusei (think): How could I be so blind?!
Jack (reaches for his facedown): They say the truth will set you free. But in this case-- it's gonna cost ya! And by activating my "Spacegate" trap card, you're never going to get your precious Stardust Dragon back!
(Jack has activated his facedown, and it's streaming light. Yusei squints, shielding his eyes...)

Jack: Yusei, once this duel is over, I'm sending you back to the Satellite where garbage like *you* belongs! And with my "Spacegate" trap card in play, I'm about to kick this duel into overdrive! Ya see, with this card, for every time you attacked *me*, I got a gate counter!

Cortez (Remembering and thinking) The Only monsters that Yusei attacked with are Speed Warrior and Junk Warrior! this'll get ugly.
Jack (VO): And thanks to you, I'm already up to two!

(Jack has two stars orbiting around his runner)
Jack: This reminds me of when you helped me in the Satellite; sure you thought you were doin' the right thing, but in fact all you did was set yourself up for disappointment! Just like now!
Yusei: I guess I don't have any other option but to lay down a facedown.
Jack: And now your warriors' attack points return to normal.

(Spectators)
Lezar: See? It's only a matter of time before Jack wins, Mister Goodwin.
Mina: This contest is still far from over, sir.
Lezar: Do you actually think this satellite has a chance of winning? Because so far this pathetic example of a duelist has done *only* what Jack has let him do. Hmhmhmhmhmhmhm..
Goodwin (think): Don't underestimate this boy, Jack. For now, i'm more concern about this strange mysterious duelist (looking at Cortez in his runner)

(Duel)
Jack: Hehahahahaha! Come on, get the lead out, Yusei! I got the need-- the need for speed! (he zooms ahead) You're gonna hafta take off your training wheels if ya wanna keep up with me! Hahahahah! (Jack is now driving backwards, upside-down on the bowl of the track) At least this way I can see you!
Cortez: Just make your move already!
Jack: Your fan is eager for me to end this, is he? Well i'll make it quick as possible, because I plan on takin' my time pickin' you apart! And when I'm through with you, you're gonna wish you never *left* the Satellite! It's my turn! (he turns around and comes down to right-side-up) I play my "Speed Fusion" speed spell! Now since I have four speed counters, I can activate its ability and fusion-summon a monster that will have you quakin' in your seat! Here comes a recipe for disaster-- take one part Big Piece Golem, add a touch of Medium Piece Golem, mix well, and you get-- Multiple Piece Golem!
[Big Piece Golem 2100/0/L5/earth]
[Medium Piece Golem 1600/0/L4/earth]
[Multiple Piece Golem 2600///]
Cortez (think): *That's* not good.
Jack: Golem, send his Speed Warrior in for a permanent pit stop!
Yusei: In that case, I activate my "Defense Draw" trap card! And with it in play, all the damage you cooked up with your little Golem recipe go (sic) to zero! *And* I get to draw a card!
Jack: Not bad. And here I am, thinking you'd thrown in the towel. I guess there's still fire in you after all. Too bad this next move's gon'to extinguish any hope you had of winning this duel and getting your Stardust Dragon back! (spins to face backward) Haha! Now then, Yusei- this is when things get interestin'! By usin' my Golem's special ability, I can break 'im down to summon out the two fusion monsters that are in my graveyard. It's kinda like recycling, which is something you know all about, living in that dump of a tunnel you call home! And now, I can activate Medium Piece Golem's special ability, which allows me to summon out Small Piece Golem to the field!
[Small Piece Golem 1100///]
Yusei: That's quite the rock collection.
Jack: Well, Yusei, you know that I've always believed in the saying 'the more the merrier,' and if you think things are crowded now, wait 'til I summon out this guy-- the tuner monster Dark Resonator!
Cortez: (shocked) (think) A tuner monster!
(Dark Resonator glows and turns into its component three stars. Big Piece Golem rises to join them in the sky, as the three stars circle around and form three rings.)
Jack: Now I tune Dark Resonator with Big Piece Golem, to synchro-summon my most powerful beast!
(Big Piece Golem is outlined in glowing gold, and its five stars appear form the outline and align within the three rings, forming a towering column of golden light.)
Jack: Yusei, this battle's about to move into the fast lane! Now feel the power of my Red Dragon Archfiend!
(Jack's signature dragon roars dramatically, looming over the duel.)
[Red Dragon Archfiend 3000/2000/L8/dark]
Cortez (think): That Red Dragon Archfiend is quite the beast. for a level-eight dark-attribute synchro monster. It has three thousand attack points and two thousand defense points. Yusei better watch out
Yusei: That's your most prized possession!
Jack: You got that right, and I only use it on special occasions. And I don't think they get any more *special* than this! I wanted my dragon to defeat you, but then I thought of a more fitting conclusion. (Yusei groans) So by sending my "Spacegate" trap card to my graveyard, I can bring a new monster to the field that will make our little trip down memory lane that much more memorable-- say hi to my tuner monster Sinister Sprocket!
[Sinister Sprocket ]
Jack: 'E looks small, but he's got friends-- big friends!
(Sinister Sprocket extends a cable and wraps around Small and Medium Piece Golems together, turning into a green tuning ring and turning the Golems into stars. From the quick tuning erupts a powerful column of light, icy blue.
Jack: Now I tune my Sinister Sprocket with my Small and Medium Piece Golem, to synchro-summon your destruction!
Cortez (shocked) (think) two synchron summons, in one turn!?
(The creature in the light extends one large, wrinkly wing, then the other.)
Jack: He look familiar? 'E should; after all, this *is* your Stardust Dragon!
(With that, the beautiful dragon that was once Yusei's bursts onto the field, glowing like pure moonlight, raining sparkling dust from its wings. It lifts its head, clenches the fists at the end of its draconic arms, and roars.
[Stardust Dragon 2500/2000/L8/wind]
(Yusei looks up at the dragon)
Yusei: It's been much too long.

(Spectators)
Mina: T-two dragons?
Lezar: That is why Mister Atlas is our champion, *Ms.* Mina. He would *never* lose to someone from the Satellite Sector like this Yusei Fudo. If you're not going to say anything useful, you could at least go and get us some nonfat, extra-hot lattes.
(Mina huffs and looks back at the screen, ignoring him)
Lezar (amused): Temper, temper.
Goodwin: Silence, you two. This is *just* getting interesting. Now let's see if Jack can finish this off.

(Duel.)
Jack: Hm. Hmhm. Hahahahahahah! You wanted Stardust Dragon so bad-- well here it is! It's just like they always say- be careful what you wish for! Huhuhuhuhahahaha, hahahahahahahaha!
