(Previously <1:21>)

(Opening)

ACT 1 <2:21>

(Late at night, the lights of the sewage plant, including its huge pipes, glitter beneath a slightly foggy full moon. Yusei watches the moon through a crack in the pavement)
Nervin: You've only got one shot at this, Yusei. The maintenence hatch opens at midnight, and only stays open for three minutes after that.
Rally: He *knows*.
Nervin: Then they flood that pipeline with garbage.
Rally: He KNOWS!
Nervin: And as soon as you jump over the sewage plant's fence, the security'll be--
Rally: HE KNOWS!! Try being positive for once, Nervin!
(The clock ticks to 11:15 on Yusei's runner screen)
Nervin (sheepish): I thought I was.
Blitz: Hey, Yusei!
(Yusei, already on his runner, looks at Blitz, standing with Tank, Rally, and Nervin on the walkway beside the tunnel)
Blitz: Can you REALLY do this?
Nervin: A test-run is one thing, but, uh, the real thing is something else. If they catch you, it--
Tank: Don't listen to these guys, Yusei. Just, uh, I dunno, hit the gas and don't ever look back.
Rally: Almost forgot! (Rally jumps down and hurries over to Yusei) Here! For good luck!
(Rally hands Yusei a card, and he looks at it.)
Yusei: What is it, Rally?
Rally: Turbo Booster!
(The card picture is of a yellow, jet-powered robot with two big, detachable rocket-powered arms.)
Yusei: Wasn't this your father's card?
Rally: (nods) I want you to take it. Like my dad always says, you never know when you might need a boost. I just hope it can help you get back your Stardust Dragon from Jack!
(Yusei starts the engine, puts on his helmet and visor)
Yusei: You gonna be on the monitor?
Rally (nod): We'll go topside, so we can get a clear signal. Now, rev it up!
Blitz: And don't slow down for *nothin'*!
(Yusei starts the engine and takes off down the tunnel.)
Rally: You go, Yusei!
Yusei (think): It's time to settle the score, Jack.
(Yusei skids onto the bottom landing, then races up the stairs and flies out into the street. He lands smoothly, turns about, and rides up the street, kicking up sparks from the torn pavement.)

(At Sector Security HQ, a red dot blips on a monitor, moving rapidly...)
Techie: We have movement! Yusei's gone topside! We picked up the homing signal from the stolen chip! <4:00>
Trudge: So, where is he?!
Techie: He's in the East Sector. Switching to satellite imaging now.
Trudge (to the aerial view of Yusei and his runner on the screen): Where do you think *you're* going? Lock onto that chip. Then open up a comlink and update me. Do *not* lose him!!

Techie (via comlink): Trudge, he just turned off Montague, heading south on Davis Drive.
Trudge: On my way, Central!
(The factory towers belch black smoke as trash continues to pour into the factories; Yusei races onward.)

(Blitz checks his watch-- 11:56-- as Yusei's four friends run down a tunnel)
Blitz: The maintenence hatch opens in four minutes! Let's book it!
Tank: Wait up!
(They climb a ladder)
Nervin: Careful--
Blitz: Not now, Nervin!
(They run onto the rooftop, Blitz with binoculars and Nervin opening the laptop)
Rally: Can you see him?!
Blitz: There he goes! Aw, yeah!
Nervin: We've got a clear signal on the monitor. Looks like he's approaching the sewage plant.

Computer: Warning! Warning! You are entering an unauthorized zone. <5:00> Turn back immediately!
(Yusei races toward the fence, when Trudge comes out of nowhere and rams him from the side)
Trudge: Pull over, Yusei!
Yusei (think): Trudge?! How'd *he* find me?
Trudge: Where doya think you're goin'? Don't you know it's two hours past curfew, or can you still not tell time? *Pull over*!!
(Yusei ignores him and races ahead)
Trudge: Kids these days. Never do what they're told. *Huh*?! Is he goin' for the *sewage plant*?!
(Yusei runs over a traffic barrier and leaps the fifteen-or-so-foot fence, bouncing a bit as he lands.)

(His friends cheer)
Blitz: So far, so good!

Trudge: Panson, come in! Open the security gates, and do it quick!!
(The gates open as Trudge speeds through them, hot on Yusei's heels.)
Techie: He's heading for the compactors!
Trudge: I'm on him! He won't get far! There's nowhere he can go.

Nervin: Uh-oh. Sector Security is closing in on 'im.
Tank: Aw, man, not Trudge again!

(Yusei is now racing down a straight corridor; Trudge is only about ten feet behind)
Trudge (think): This should be fun. <6:00> (aloud) You may've beaten me in our last duel, but I've got somethin' special planned for you and this time I'm takin' you down. (Yusei looks over his shoulder, startled by Trudge's confidence) See, with that chip you installed, I can now force you to turbo-duel!
Computer: Duel mode engaged. Autopilot standing by. Overriding suspect's duel runner.
(A Speed World spell shows on Yusei's screen, and the duel disk unfolds from the dash.)
Yusei (gasp): But how?!
Computer: Autopilot engaged.

Tank: This wasn't in the plan...
Rally: Trudge hacked in somehow.
Blitz: Well, Yuse needs to get UNhacked-- there's no time to duel!

(The clock on the monitor reads 11:57.)
Trudge: I let you off the hook last time, Yusei, but this time, me and my special pursuit deck are gonna haul you to the Facility for good!

ACT 2 <6:43>

Trudge: You can't escape, Yusei! Y'see that acceleration chip you installed has enabled me to hack into your duel runner's mainframe! And the only way to break free of the connection is to beat me! And now I'll show you what my special pursuit deck is made of! <7:00> First I'll summon out Gate Blocker in defense mode!
[Gate Blocker 100/2000/L4/earth]
Yusei: Huh?!

Nervin: A-anyone know what that thing does?
Rally: I've never heard of that one!

Computer: When Gate Blocker is face-up on the field, your opponent cannot gain any speed counters during their standby phase.
Trudge: Now, with perimeter secure, I place one card facedown and end my turn!
(Trudge's speed counters go up one; Yusei's remain at 0)
Yusei (think): Nothing happened!
Trudge: Something wrong? Did you just notice that your speed counters aren't increasing? (everyone gasps) Well they're not *going* to! See, it's all part of my plan! In our last duel I underestimated the power of your deck and almost wound up back on traffic duty! But unlike you, I learn from my mistakes, and this time you won't be surprising *me*! But have I got some surprises for *you*! Such as my Gate Blocker spell card, which has your game stuck in neutral! <8:00> Seems like an appropriate effect, wouldn't you say?
Yusei: Why's that?
Trudge: Because, just like in life, you're going nowhere. Unless you count being sent to the Facility as *going* somewhere. Only this time, it isn't going to be some little vacation like your visit to the Reeducation Center. See, this time, Yusei, you're gonna be locked away for a very, very long time.
Yusei: *Assuming* you can catch me.

(Back at the Monitor, the clock beeps midnight, then a three-minute timer starts counting down.)
Tank: Uh-oh, is it midnight already?
Nervin: In three minutes they'll be closing the hatch, and then Yusei won't be able to make it through to New Domino City!
Rally: Man, Officer Trudge is always gettin' in the way!

(At the Duel, Yusei can almost see Jack's sneering face, triumphant at his failure.)
Yusei (think): If I get outdueled down here, I may never get another chance to settle the score with Jack, and Jack'll never have to answer for what he did. I can't let that happen.

(Monitor)
Tank: C'mon, Yuse!
Rally: Break away!

(Duel) <9:00>
Yusei: The green light's mine! And I summon Speed Warrior in attack mode!
[Speed Warrior 900///]
Trudge: Ha! I remember that little toy from our last duel! And I remember that its attack points double on the turn it's summoned. But like last time, it's just too weak. I guess you still haven't learned how to add, have you?
(Speed Warrior's points rise to 1800-- but fall short of Gate Blocker's 2000 defense.)
Yusei (think): Okay, Rally. Let's see what this card of yours can do... (aloud) I special-summon Turbo Booster in attack mode!
[Turbo Booster 0/0/L1/earth]
Computer: When you release Turbo Booster, your opponent's monster is destroyed, if it battled against the monster you summoned this turn.

Rally: He actually played my card!

Yusei: Power up!
(Turbo Booster's arms attach to Speed Warrior like a pair of rocket-propelled shoes, and Speed Warrior launches itself at Gate Blocker...)
Yusei: Speed Warrior, release!
Trudge: So? That don't scare me! <10:00>
Yusei: It should, 'cause now Speed Warrior can attack using Turbo's special ability!

Rally: That's so awesome! I had no idea he could do that with Turbo Booster!
Blitz: He might be able to take out Gate Blocker, which means he might be able to break free, which means he might be able to kick into overdrive, which means he might still make it! ... Of course, he might not.

Trudge: Not good enough! Even if you destroy Gate Blocker with that Boost of yours, Gate Blocker's defense is still too strong! And just like our last duel, you're gonna get hurt in this blast, not me.
(Speed Warrior destroys Gate Blocker and Turbo-Booster, and Yusei takes 200 damage)

Rally: Vroom, vroom, kaboom! I just knew my Turbo-Booster card would help 'im out!
Tank: Yeah! Go, Yusei!

(Yusei and Trudge turn a corner)
Yusei: There it is, the main pipeline- I may still have enough time!
(Yusei jumps through a shaft of some sort and hits the ground sparking, with Trudge not far behind)
Yusei: Alright, I'm in!
Trudge: Panson!
Panson (via radio): Sir!
Trudge: He's gone into the waste disposal system! Switch to the security cameras down there! Don't lose him! <11:00>

Nervin: Uh-oh. It looks like Trudge isn't giving up.
Rally: Don't worry, Yusei'll shake 'em!
Blitz: There's no way to shake 'im now, the pipeline's a straight shot!

Trudge: Ready for another surprise? I activate my "Broken Blocker" trap so I can play TWO Gate Blockers!

Tank: Oh man, more road-blocks!

Trudge: What made you break curfew tonight, Yusei? Are you trying to escape the Satellite?
Yusei: And what if I am?
Trudge: Don't you know that your kind don't exactly *fit in* in New Domino City?
Yusei: I'm not going there to 'fit in'!
Trudge: So what's your plan? We both know you've got some enemies in very high places. You trying to get to New Domino City to settle some *score*?
Yusei: *Something* like that. I place two cards facedown and end my turn.

Nervin: Only two minutes left, and eight miles of pipeline to go!
Rally: He'll make it.
Nervin: Huh?
Rally: We did six test-runs. Yusei knows what he's doing.
Tank: Security wasn't harrassin' him on those test-runs! And by this point, he was so much closer to the goal! <12:00>

Trudge: Ha. There's no escape, Yusei!
Yusei (think): I don't find a way around those blockers fast, I'll never make it to the hatch in time!

ACT 3 <12:11>

Trudge: You'll never escape, Yusei! And to make sure of it, I'm calling in some backup! By radioing Gonogo to come to the field in attack mode!
[Gonogo 1350///]
Trudge: Gonogo, move in and take out Speed Warrior!
(It does.)
Yusei: Rrrgh...
Trudge: Ha! Your loss is my gain!

(Monitor: all gasp)
Rally: Come on, Yusei!

(Duel)
Yusei: Now it's my move! (beat. smile.) It's go time. I summon the Junk Synchron tuner monster!
[Junk Synchron 900///]
Yusei: Then I activate the "Graceful Revival" trap card! <13:00>
Trudge: Ugh! What are you planning?!
Yusei: Lemme show ya. See, "Graceful Revival" lets me summon a level-two or below monster from my graveyard! So I'm bringing back Speed Warrior! Now I tune my Junk Synchron with my Speed Warrior, to synchro-summon Junk Warrior! Let's rev it up!

(Monitor)
Tank: Thatta boy, Yusei! Now finish up Trudge and get outta there!
Rally: He's gona take out Trudge's Gonogo now!

Yusei: Go, Scrap Fist!
(Trudge's lifepoints fall to 3050) <14:00>
Trudge: Huh! You pulled the same move last time we dueled. You're getting a little predictable, Yusei. But now-- (draw; speed to 4) I'm gonna speed things up. (looks at what he drew) Hmph. You're not the only one who knows how to soup up your monsters! I summon Jutte Fighter!
[Jutte Fighter 700/900/L2/earth]
Yusei: That's a tuner monster!
Trudge: Sure is! And there's still more surprises to come! Jutte Fighter! I tune you to my Gate Blocker in order to summon Goyo Guardian!
Yusei: Ah!
Trudge: It looks like *you* underestimated *my* deck, *this* time, doesn't it? Now attack!

Rally: Agh!

Trudge: Hahahaha! Goyo Guardian is a special monster. See, when it attacks, it doesn't destroy anything; it just takes control of 'em and uses 'em to do its bidding.
(As he speaks, Goyo Guardian lassoes and captures Junk Warrior.) <15:00>
Yusei: Kinda like the relationship YOU have with Jack Atlas, huh, Trudge?
Trudge: You satellites. You never know when to stop talking back.

Nervin: One minute, forty seconds left!
Rally: Come on, Yusei, hurry! You're running out of time! Come on, go!

Trudge: Nice. With my speed counter at four, I'm now able to crank this hot pursuit up to the next level by activating a speed spell from my hand! Go, Sonic Buster!
Computer: Sonic Buster is a spell card that deals damage to your opponent equal to half the attack points of one monster on your field.
(Officially known as "Speed Spell - Sonic Buster")
Yusei: When you said you were full of surprises, you weren't kidding!
Trudge: Well I'm glad I didn't disappoint. And guess what, Yusei, I won't be disappointing my superiors either, because this time I'm not gonna let you just walk away when the last card is played! (Yusei's lifepoints take a hit) And with that attack, it's only a matter of time before your lifepoints are running on empty. <16:00> Now to make sure you don't pull some fancy maneuver, I'm using a second Sonic Buster to slow your game down!
Yusei: Huh!
(Yusei's points take another massive hit; he's down to 50, and falling behind Trudge's runner.)

Tank: Aaah! Now Yuse'll *never* clear the hatch!

ACT 4 <16:19>

Trudge: You won't beat me this time, Yusei, and you'll never escape from the Satellite, 'cause once I win, I'm takin' you in! I can't wait to see you get locked up!
(Yusei is riding right alongside Trudge, barely keeping pace. His eyes are hidden by his visor.)
Yusei: Well you're gonna have to keep on waiting, Officer Trudge, 'cause I'm about to put the pedal to the metal!
Trudge: But I've got all the power.
Yusei: You sure about that? I summon the tuner monster Nitro Synchron!
Trudge: Another tuner monster? Heh! You never were one to give up without a fight! <17:00> Too bad I got your speed counters all locked up!
Yusei: That's what you think!
Trudge: Huh?!
Yusei: I activate a speed spell, Dash Pilfer!
(Officially known as "Speed Spell - Dash Pilfer")
Computer: Dash Pilfer is a spell card that allows you to gain control of one of your opponent's monsters that's face-up and in defense mode.
Trudge: No way! With my blockers on the field, you don't have enough power to play a spell!
Yusei: You should double-check your screen.
Trudge: What the! But- but- that's impossible! You shouldn't have any speed counters! Ugh! How can this be!?

(Flashback.)
FB Trudge: Nice. With my speed counter at four, I'm now able to crank this hot pursuit up to the next level by activating a speed spell from my hand! Go, Sonic Buster!
Trudge (VO): Oh, no. When I played that speed spell, you must've countered with something!
(end Flashback.)

Yusei: I sure did! So if you think you're the only one full of surprises, guess again! <18:00> Now I know you're not one for detail, but this little oversight is gonna cost you big time! See, while you were so busy trying to hold my game down, I played "Slip Stream", which gives me the same number of counters you had when you played your second Sonic Buster! So by trying to slow me down, you only made me faster!
Trudge: That's just like you! Waiting for handouts, latching on to someone else!
Yusei: Dash Pilfer! Get in there and rescue Junk Warrior! Trudge, after all these years, you still don't know anything about me. All you ever see are rules and them being broken, but you've never stopped to ask *why*, *have* you. I guess it pays well to be ignorant, doesn't it?
Trudge: Ogh!

Blitz: This is no time to be lecturin'! You've only got thirty-five seconds!
Rally: He's almost there!
Tank: All you gotta do is slip through that side-hatch before it closes, Yusei!

(The maintenance hatch Yusei has planned to use as a gateway to the City comes into view down the tunnel; it's there, and it's open-- Yusei just has to get there.)
Trudge: That hatch! <19:00>You're planning on using that to escape from the Satellite!
Yusei: Took ya long enough to figure *that* out! Guess nothing gets by ya, does it, Trudge? That is, nothing but me and my duel runner!
Trudge: Well I'm just one move away from proving you wrong and locking you up for good!
Yusei: Not gonna happen, 'cause I'm about to rev things up one more time!
(Nitro Synchron begins to glow; Yusei floors his engine, and his speedometer reads 251 km/h.)
Trudge: Another synchro-summon?!
Yusei: That's right! Now, Nitro Synchron, give Junk Warrior a tune-up!
(Junk Warrior turns into a maze of golden outlines, punctuated by five glimmering stars, that line up in the center of two green rings, creating a tunnel of light.)
Yusei: I synchro-summon, Nitro Warrior!
[Nitro Warrior 2800///]
Yusei: Trudge, I got one last surprise for you! If my Nitro Warrior attacks on the same turn a speed spell was used, it gains a thousand attack points!
Trudge: It *what*?!
Yusei: And with that your Goyo Guardian is a goner! <20:00> Nitro Warrior, attack with Dynamite Crunch!
Trudge (takes the hit): This ain't over yet, Yusei!
Yusei: Oh, yes it is! See, Nitro Warrior comes custom-made with a special ability! When it destroys one of your monsters, *and* you've got a monster in defense mode like Gate Blocker, it forces it into attack mode.
Trudge: But then I can't protect myself!
Yusei: And even though my Nitro Warrior loses one thousand attack points, it's still strong enough to destroy Gate Blocker and win this duel!
Trudge: Rrrrgh! (Nitro destroys Gate Blocker) Ohwaaaaugh!!!! (Trudge's screen shows a big X and starts to steam; his runner skids to the side)

Rally, Blitz, Tank, Nervin: He won!
Blitz: He made Trudge wipe out!
Nervin: Too bad he couldn't stop the clock. (it ticks to zero)
Blitz: Oh...
Nervin: The hatch is gonna close!
Tank: And that means Yuse won't be able to escape!
Rally: Rev it up, Yuse!

(The hatch is closing, <21:00> and the rest of the tunnel is opening up, letting large pieces of debris cascade toward Yusei.)
Yusei: Ogh!
(He dodges, weaves, rides around over the top of the tunnel, skids beneath what looks like a huge cardboard box, continues the skid sideways through the last few feet of closing door.)
Yusei (think): Come on, stay on target!!
(He makes it through, just before the door seals and is bombarded with trash; Trudge is not so lucky)
Trudge: Aaaaaagh! (He is up to his neck in trash before he can blink twice, being carried along by a massive wave) Central, override the trash compactor! Override the traaaaaaaash!

Tank: What happened to Yusei?
Nervin: Don't know. The screen went blank.
Rally: He made it through the hatch, I just know he did. I just know it!
Tank: But if he didn't...
(Nervin sighs dejectedly at the thought; the monitor starts to beep, and a red dot moves on the screen's map.)
Blitz: Hey, what's that?
Nervin: I-it's Yusei!

(They all gasp in awe; Rally starts to laugh happily, VO as Yusei rides out into the light of the full moon in New Domino)
Rally (VO): I told you! I *so* told you! Yeah!

Tank: He did it! <22:00> He actually made it through to New Domino City!
Nervin: That's right. I never had a doubt!
(Rally laughs)

(Yusei rides out of the New Domino side of the sewage plant; as soon as he clears the front door, he hears a voice)
Jack: Yusei!
(Yusei skids to an immediate stop and takes off his helmet. Jack is standing at the edge of a highway that passes above the exit to the plant, and is clearly expecting him.)
Yusei: Hello, Jack.
Jack (laugh): Long time, no see. How've you been?
(Jack laughs again, or perhaps it's just Yusei's memory)
Jack: What's the matter, Yusei? Aren'tcha happy to see your old friend Jack?
(Jack laughs again, and it echoes on the empty, moonlit streets; Yusei is silent.)
