Yu-gi-oh 5ds my story 22

Announcer: We're going into round three of this nerve-wracking duel, and Greiger's now in the driver's seat!
(Scoreboard; Greiger, 3400, 2; Cortez, 4000, 2.)
Greiger: It's my turn. Flying Fortress SKY FIRE, take out Cortez's Stratos!
(SKY FIRE shoots at the ground; Stratos dashes into the air, and gets snagged in one of its propellers. Cortez doesn't flinch.)
Cortez: I activate my trap! Defence Draw! So now I get a new card and I don't take damage!
(Cortez draws a card as he shielded himself. With that massive setback, Greiger passes him easily and he goes spinning backward)
Announcer: Cortez has sure came up with a back up plan! He even had a chance to avoid taking damage from Flying Fortress SKY FIRE! But can he find a way to take it out? Or will he be sending packing from the Fortune Cup finals?!

Leo: Glad he protected himself from that...
Yanagi: But what can he do with that hunk of metal?

(3D shot from Cortez's wheel, along the track at a bug's-eye view, under Flying Fortress SKY FIRE, and up to Greiger, who's halfway around the track by now)
Greiger: Hah! You seem like a nice enough guy, boy, but you gotta fall! 'Cause I got too much riding on this duel to risk losing it! <4:00>
(He plays a facedown, and play shifts back to Yusei. Scoreboard: Greiger, 3400, 3; Cortez, 4000, 3.)
Cortez (draws): And so do I!
(He drew a speed spell, Count Up.)
Cortez (think): With SKY FIRE on the field, he can destroy the first card I play every turn, so-- (aloud) From my hand, I summon Elemental Hero BubbleMan in defense mode! Since he's summoned, I can draw two cards! (Draws two cards)
[Elemental Hero BubbleMan /800//]
Greiger: You can keep your cards! Too bad your BubbleMan is gonna get burst from my assault! Remember-- when you play a card, that card is destroyed, and SKY FIRE rains eight hundred points of damage from above!
(SKY FIRE lets loose three bombs, shelling Cortez and BubbleMan. Cortez's lifepoints are now 3200, and in 3D he starts spinning out, back along the track)
Announcer: Cortez spins out *again*!
(He regains control and zooms back after Greiger)
Cortez: I place three cards facedown and end my turn!
Announcer: Greiger is seriously wiping the track with Cortez! The kid's got no monsters on his field; if Greiger nails him with a direct attack on this next turn, Cortez's Fortune Cup will be over!

Leo: He's done! Greiger's got it to where he can't even summon a monster without the thing getting obliterated right away! *Man,* Greiger won't quit! He's just a hulking tower of ruthlessness!!
Luna: You didn't notice that when you were dueling him?
Yanagi: Leo was just too excited to be dueling in the tournament to notice things like his opponent.
Tanner: I wouldn't put this duel in the books just yet. Cortez can win this.
Yanagi: He *can*?
Yusei: You betcha. Now, what do we know about this Flying Fortress SKY FIRE of Greiger's?
Yanagi: Um...
(Pause; nobody knows the answer)
Dex: Well, we know it's big, we know it's loud, we know it's powerful, *and* we know that, once a turn, it destroys a card Cortez plays the second he plays it.
Tanner: And as soon as Greiger destroyed BubbleMan, Cortez placed three cards facedown.
Dex: *I* get it! You're thinking the summoning of BubbleMan was a diversion! Cause thanks to him, he was able to get two cards, giving him some time!
Tanner: Mmm-hmm.
Dex: His *real* goal are those facedown!
Tanner: I'll bet you a corn dog that card's a game-changer, like "Mirror Force".

Jack (think): That kid has three facedown cards. Let's see if you're clever enough to figure out his game, Greiger.

Akiza (think): I hope you lose this. He's mine. And no one will stop me from getting to him.

Greiger: It's my turn!
(He drew "Chariot Pile". Scoreboard: Greiger 3400, 4 ; Yusei 3800, 2)
Greiger (think): And I'm sure one of his facedowns *could* turn the tables. So I'm gonna have to turn 'em first!



Greiger (think): Cortez, you're a very skillful duelist, but so am I! You might think your facedowns are safe, but you'd better think again-- because I've got your strategy all figured out!!
(Slow-motion monochromatic purple as Greiger rounds a bend. Cortez is still on the straight.)
Greiger (think): I know you're fighting to help your friends, but I can't let you stop me from completing my mission, and that's why I'm willing to take the necessary risks to destroy any chances you have of winning this duel. But I know this won't be an easy task to accomplish; so don't expect me to pull any punches!! 'Cause I plan on using every card I have in my deck to make sure that *I'm* the one taking the victory lap! (aloud) Here I come!!
(Greiger twists his right-side accelerator toggle and the huge engines in the back of his runner kick in. He and SKY FIRE come zooming around the track in 3D)
Greiger: Behind you, Cortez!
Cortez (looks over his shoulder): Huh!
(Greiger is nearly lapping Yusei, and is now chasing him.
Greiger: Get ready for a direct assault!
Cortez: That's what I was hoping for!
Greiger: But why?!
Cortez: So I can play-- Waboku! Now I won't take any damage this turn.
Greiger: You may've just dodged my assault, but I still have a got you on the run! I activate SKY FIRE's special ability! I discard a card to destroy your face down!
(As SKY Fire blasted at Cortez face down, it showed to be Hero Medal)
Greigar: Huh?!
Cortez: Nice try! But I had Hero Medal face down! Since you tried to destroy it, it doesn't go to the *grave*! It gets shuffled back to my deck and I draw a card! (draws a card)

Yusei(think): Cortez's not messin' around. He figured out his game plan.
Leo (nervous): *Tanner*, he didn't play "Mirror Force". Where's Dex's corn dog?
Tanner (evasive): Well, we never *shook*.

(Greiger races after Cortez, both runners kicking up sparks from the track.)
Greiger: I place one card facedown and end my turn!
(Scoreboard: Greiger 3400, 5; Cortez 3200, 5)
Cortez: It's my move!
(He drew Speed Spell - Angel Baton)
Cortez: From my hand, I play Angel Baton! I draw two cards, then send one card to the grave! (He sends Shield Warrior to the graveyard) Now I summon Necro Guardna in defense mode!
[Necro Guardna 600///]
Greiger: With another monster summoned, another monster gets leveled! And another eight hundred points of direct damage are coming your way due to my SKY FIRE's special ability!
(SKY FIRE deploys three missiles; Necro Guardna gets destroyed by them. Cortez hangs on through the explosion; he's down to 2600 lifepoints!)
Announcer: Wow!
(As Yusei recovers, Greiger passes him)
Announcer: Greiger has *lapped* Cortez!!
Cortez: I'm playing the "Speed Spell - Speed Fusion"!
Greiger: What!? A fusion summon?!
Cortez: That's right! I combine Elemental Hero ClayMan and Elemental Hero Avian to fusion summon! Elemental Hero Great Tornado!
[Elemental Hero Great Tornado 2800//L8/Wind]
Cortez: Now Great Tornado! Attack Flying Fortress SKY FIRE!!
Greiger: You're just sending your monster to its doom!
Cortez: Not with Tornado's special ability! You see, when he's fusion summoned, he makes all your monsters loses half of their attack points!
Greiger: Hunh?
(SKY FIRE now decreased to 1500. Great Tornado shoots a tornado twister blast and punches a hole right through SKY FIRE. It lands and cowers below as SKY FIRE begins to catch fire and fall apart.)
Announcer: Whoa! Talk about a comeback! Cortez has blasted Greiger's SKY FIRE outta the sky!
Greiger: Huah?!
(Indeed, as Greiger watches, SKY FIRE crashes on the track, sending up a big cloud of thick smoke. Even worse, all the bombs in SKY FIRE's huge arsenal blow up, and Greiger's driving right into them!)
Greiger: Aaaaagh!


Greiger: Yaaah!
(He drives right into the huge cloud of smoke)
Announcer: Incredible!! Cortez has destroyed Greiger's SKY FIRE! Oh, the humanity!
Greiger: You may've grounded my air assault, but let's see how you handle my "Chariot Pile" trap card!
(Spinning sharp spikes appear on the axles of Greiger's two back wheels)

Yanagi, Dex, and the twins: Oh, no!
Yusei (gritted his teeth and growl): Not good!

Greiger: You won't defeat me, Cortez; (intense) there's too much at stake here!

(Flashback. A tall building somewhere in New Domino. A random peon appears on a monitor)
- Director Goodwin, the next match is about to begin, and we didn't wanna start without you.
FB Greiger: Turn this signal off!!
- Hey, wait a second; you're not the Director! Who is this?! That office is off-limits!
FB Greiger (think): And so is my village. Now, let's see what you're hiding, Goodwin...
(He's looking at a folder on the computer screen with an image of the Crimson Dragon on the front.)
FB Greiger (think): I knew it! It's all right here in your personal files; you were responsible for the destruction of my village!!
(He lets out a huge roar and pounds both fists on the table once, tears flowing down his cheeks)
FB Greiger: I'll get you, Goodwin!!!
(End Flashback)

Greiger: I respect you as a duelist, Yusei, but I have something I must do. And you're just a roadblock standing in my way!
(Draw; Scoreboard: Greiger 2100, 5; Cortez 1800, 6)
Greiger: Chariot Pile's effect activates! So once a turn, my Chariot can hit you for eight hundred points of damage! Looks like your lifepoints are about to get *speared*, Cortez! There's no way you can outrun my attack!
(Greiger Bumps Cortez's runner, causing him to decrease to 1800 lp)
Greiger (smile): Hmph. I'll be sure to take you out with this one! You were smart to take the damage, cause you would have to sell your monster out to stop my Chariot Pile's effect
(Scoreboard: Greiger 2100, 7; Cortez 1800, 8)
(Cortez chases Greiger around yet another curve, gaining with every inch)
Cortez: It's my move! Tornado, attack Greiger and end the duel!
Greiger: Not good enough, kid! I'm afraid that Chariot Pile has another effect! When your monster attacks me directly, I can sacrifice eight hundred lifepoints, to deflect your monster's attack, *and* destroy your monster!
(A shimmering multicolored bubble appears around Greiger and his runner, and Great Tornado bounces off it and disentigrates. Greiger has 1300 lifepoints left.)

Dex: Ahh!
Leo: Man, Cortez just can't seem to keep a monster on the field.

Cortez: I place two cards facedown and set a monster facedown and then end my turn!
(Scoreboard: Greiger 1300, 8; Cortez 1800,9)
Greiger: It's my move! And I summon Black Salvo!
(Black Salvo is a happily diabolical round black bomb with a lit fuse)
[Black Salvo 100///]
Greiger: When Black Salvo is summoned, I can also summon one level-four dark-attribute monster from my graveyard in defense mode.
(Black Salvo opens its mouth and spits out four mini-bombs. They explode one by one, and leave a billow of smoke)
Greiger: So, with the power of my Black Salvo, I'm bringing back my Trap Reactor•Y FI.
(Y FI flies out of the smoke)
[Trap Reactor•Y FI /1800//]
Greiger: And now I tune by Black Salvo with my level-four Trap Reactor•Y FI.
(Black Salvo dissolves into a small cloud of stars.)
Cortez: A synchro-summon?!
Grieger: You're surprised? I do *more* than just Fusions here, Cortez! I give you-- Dark Strike Fighter!!
[Dark Strike Fighter 2600///]
Greiger: And now it's going to attack your facedown monster!
(As Dark Strike Fire went in to attack the facedown, it was the Magician of faith
[Magician of Faith/300//Light/L1]
Cortez: By attacking my Magician of Faith, you activated her flip ability to bring a speed spell from my graveyard! (Adds Speed Spell - Speed Fusion) And I'm bring back Speel Fusion!
Greiger: Then I think I'll activate Chariot Pile's effect. The only way for you to negate *this* damage is to sacrifice your *other monster*!
(Once again, Greiger comes in, bumping into Cortez, causing him to decrease to 1000)
Greiger: Face it, I got you outnumbered! No monsters to protect you! All you can do is stall for time! Well let's see what you do about the "Ultimate Flare" trap card, which allows me to summon an Ultimate Flare Token!
[Ultimate Flare Token /0/L10/]

Leo: Anyone know what *that* does?
Tanner: Well let's just say that Yusei's about to get knocked around for another eight hundred points of damage.
Dex: And on top of that, Greiger's Fighter can now deal damage equal to two hundred *times* the level of the released monster, *and*--
Tanner: *And,* Ultimate Flare Token is a level ten!
Leo: (counts on his fingers) That means uh, well uh...
Yusei: Ten times two hundred comes out to two thousand points of damage!
Yanagi and Leo: *Two thousand*?!

Greiger: I'm afraid your fate has been sealed, Cortez! There is nothing that you can do to win this turbo-duel now! On my next turn you're finished!!
(Scoreboard: Greiger 1300,8 ; Cortez 1000,9)

Announcer: Things are looking helpless for Cortez! He has no monster on the field! Everything depends on his next draw!

(In 3D, Greiger comes around a curve and right over the camera; Yusei and Junk Synchron are not far behind.)
Cortez: Let's do this!!
(He drew Burstinatrix)
Yusei: First I activate the trap, Back up Soldier! Now I can add my monsters back to my hand! (he adds ClayMan and Avian to his hand) Now I activate Speed Spell - Speed Fusion! So I Avian and Burstinatrix to Fuse Elemental Hero FlameWingMan!
(Both Avian and Burstinatrix gets sucked into the vortexa.)
[Elemental Hero FlameWingMan 2100///]
Greiger: You're grasping at straws, Cortez! That monster can't defeat my Dark Strike Fighter!


Announcer: Cortez has managed to squeeze some more life out of his floundering deck!

Twins: Go Yusei!
Tanner: Make this work!
Yanagi: You can do it!
Yusei (think): This is where the magic happends.


Cortez: I activate, the Rising Energy Trap card! Now by discarding a card, I can add fifteen hundred attack points to my WingMan!
Greiger: What?!
(FlameWingMan powers up to 3600)
Cortez: And with that boost, my WingMan's's more powerful than your Dark Strike Fighter! So you know what's next! FlameWingMan, attack!!
(FlameWingMan soars down on Dark Strike Fighter, which fires every missile it's got at FlameWingMan but can't stop it. It's about to try a last-ditch punch, when it finds itself confronted instead with a dragon hand, which punches it and burns it's colors away can and destroys it. Greiger endures the wind and is down to 300 lifepoints.)
Cortez: And next I activate FlameWingMan's special ability! And that means that this duel is over! You said that one of us was going to have to lose today; and it looks like that *someone* is you!
Greiger: Impossible!! ...Aaa-aaagh!
(FlameWingMan= blast a inferno at Greiger and his runner, and the air around Greiger explodes; he's riding through a blinding world of bright golden flames. His lifepoints go to zero. The sides of his runner burst open, expelling steam, and he careens to the side and spins out as Cortez rides past, halfway on the side of the track, halfway on the ground. As it comes to a stop, he's thrown off of it.)

Yanagi, Dex, and the twins: He did it!
Tanner and Yusei: Yeah!
Leo: I knew he could pull it off!
Yanagi: That was an amazing win!
Dex: Hey, uh... if the duel's over, how come those spiky things haven't vanished yet?

(As Dexter pointed out, the Chariot Piles are still there.)

(Up in the tower)
Lezar: Well *that's* too bad.
Goodwin: Cortez will awaken his abilities soon enough. He will show us a power that mimics a signer. We must be patient.
Jack (think): I was gonna hope Yusei beat you. Now all Yusei has to do is win one more duel, and then he and I can settle things once and for all!
(Jack gets up and walks out)

Announcer: That's it, people! After six rounds of white-knuckle action, this duel has roared to a close with a stunning finale! Satellite Shooting Star managed to whip out a come-from-behind win! Take a victory lap, Cortez!
(Cortez comes to a stop near Greiger, and looks up, surprised by the request; he doesn't move)
Cortez: Greiger! Are you okay?
Announcer: Come on, Yusei, give us a--
(Greiger stands up; his voice echoes with the strength of a microphone behind it)
Greiger: Cortez. I'm fine. But it's not over.

(Up in the tower, Jack, who was about to leave, stops and turns back to the window)
Lezar: What's going on? Turn his mic off!

Announcer: Uh... (taps his mic; it's dead) Olly-olly-oxen! Hello, is this thing even on?
(Taps it again; he's quite dismayed that his mic is gone)
Announcer: Testing, one two three!

Greiger: I was hoping to do this differently, but if it needs to be like this, so be it.
Cortez: Mm?

Leo: What's he talkin' about?
Yusei: I think we're about to find out.

Greiger: I told you about my village, Yusei. I told you about the fire and the destruction. But I've learned the truth. Goodwin isn't going to help me rebuild my village like he promised!! How could he, when it isn't even *there* anymore!
Cortez: What do you mean?!
Greiger: LOOK!
(Greiger points with a huge motion to the Sphere; we can't see what's displayed on it.)
Greiger: That was my village!!
(Now we see the Sphere; small stone or brick huts and hovels dot the valley)
Greiger: Before Goodwin came along.

Lezar: How's he doing that?! Someone turn off the Sphere!!
Goodwin: Let him have his moment. <20:00>
Lezar: Huh?

Greiger: I hacked into Goodwin's personal files before the duel, and discovered it wasn't a *natural disaster*!
(We survey the landscape of the display on the Sphere)
Greiger: Goodwin came along and decided to use our valley as a little testing ground. He tried to resurrect his precious Crimson Dragon; but he couldn't control the energy! It was too powerful! And then--
(Huge flash of white light; stones rise into the air as they break apart.

Lezar: He's going to expose *everything*! We must silence him!! (Goodwin is still calm) Uh... Aren't you concerned?
Goodwin: Don't worry. No one's going to believe him.
(Jack is watching this drama play out, mouth agape. Akiza was in the same gasp as Jack.)

(We go back to the image on the Sphere; the explosion turned the whole place into a massive hole in the ground; not even rubble is left)
Greiger (VO): The village is gone! Everyone who lived there, *all gone*!! Vanished, nowhere to be found!!
Cortez: Greiger, are you sure about all this?
Greiger: I saw the files myself, I'm certain about it, Cortez! And now Goodwin's going to answer for all his lies!!!
(Greiger climbs back on his runner, and takes off, arcing around Yusei)
Cortez: Greiger!!
Greiger: Now that the world knows what you did, it's time for you to pay!! For my friends, my family, my home!!
(Vision; the village as Greiger remembers it, including the two kids who waved goodbye to him)
Greiger: Your ivory tower is about to come crumbling down, Goodwin!!!!

(Goodwin stands at the window, unafraid; Lezar, beside him, is shocked; Jack stands in the background. Akiza walks out the outside of the stadium.)

(Greiger swerves up onto the bowl of the track, going faster and faster)
Greiger: Yaaaaaaaah!
(He rounds a curve and rides off the top of the bowl into the air; he's launched himself and his runner directly at the tower!!)

(Yusei's also been in motion, heading to Greiger's direction)
Cortez: No!!
(He launches himself the same way, on a course to intercept Greiger by grabbing the chariot pile.)
Greiger: Cortez!
(As Cortez did that-- he throws Greiger back down to the stadium, but accidently broke the chariot pile and throws it like a spinning shuriken as it whizzes toward the tower window. Cortez gasped for what he realized he did.)


(Goodwin turns, sensing danger; the chariot pile crashes through the window, shattering the plate glass; Lezar yells; Goodwin catches the fatally-spinning shrapnel by the drill-like point in his elegantly-gloved left hand, and holds it as it spins against his hand, in an impossible feat of strength. Shards of glass are falling through the air in a dangerous shower of sparkles. Lezar throws himself back, away from the deadly object and Goodwin, and lands sitting on the floor. Jack looks on, awed and suspicious, as Goodwin holds it there, and the look on Lezar's face is so horrified it's distorted.)
Jack: How're you *doing* that?
(As Jack watches, the friction of the spinning point rips Goodwin's glove apart, revealing a dark gray metal hand underneath. The point stops spinning, and Goodwin is still holding it.)

(Greiger and Yusei land on the track and brake. We see an explosion come from Greiger's runner, but Greiger is already running over to Cortez, grabbing him by the front of his jacket and sitting him up from where he'd slumped after that landing)
Greiger: Cortez! How *could* you! I had him!
(Cortez intercepted him bu grabbing Greiger by the neck, forcing him to let Cortez go, then he throws him to the ground.)
Cortez: I'm sorry. I'm sorry that Goodwin lied and used you. But listen; going after him won't solve anything, or get you your answers!
Greiger (helpless fury): What do I do?!
Cortez: You trust me to figure things out.
(Greiger sits back on his knees and hits the ground, and roars his lungs out)
Greiger: GOODWIN!!!!

(Up in the tower, Goodwin doesn't seem to hear; at the end of his left arm, in one metallic hand with a few tatters of glove still clinging to it, he holds the huge metal spike that would have killed anyone else. He lets it drop, and it hits the ground with a soft clang, and lies there, glistening.)

(Akiza stood with no form of emotion from seeing Cortez with that kind of capability to stop that pile. She turned back to her stern expression and walk away.)
Akiza (think): Impressive what you did there, my prey. You almost remind me of myself. Now I'll know I'll want to come after you. I'm glad you beaten Greiger. Now all that's left is backing you to a corner.
(When the time comes, only a duel will know)
