Episode Aired: November 29, 2008
(Previously <1:40>)
(Opening)
ACT 1 <2:40>
(Yusei is racing down a hallway somewhere in the New Domino City Security Impound Center, Trudge right behind him.)
Trudge: You'll never make it out of here, Yusei! Huh. Unless of course you can drive through walls.
Blister (via radio): Duck!
Yusei: Hah! (ducks)
Trudge: Huh?
(Suddenly the elevator door explodes, just short of Yusei's front wheel; they drive into the cloud of debris. <3:00> Trudge gasps, and probably inhales as much smoke from the blast as humanly possible. Yusei emerges from the cloud of smoke into a vertical elevator shaft, in freefall but for the ends of the runner scraping along the wall. Trudge follows right on top of him-- literally.)
Trudge: Hahaha! You certainly know how to make an exit, don't you! I just hope your lifepoints are packing a parachute! Ha! (draws; both duelists' speed counters go to five) Because with five speed counters, I can now play the "Speed Spell - Rapid Shotwing"! And for each speed counter I have, my Striker gets a hundred attack points! Here goes! And that means that with my monster all amped up, I can finally get a little payback for when you ditched me in that trash tube back in the Satellite! That's right, Yusei-- you may have escaped from me in our last duel, but the power of my beasts are (sic) gonna have you back in the Facility before you can make it to the bottom floor! Search Striker, take out his lifepoints!
(Yusei nearly loses his grip, and ends up trailing above his falling runner, gripping it by one handlebar. his speed counters drop to 3)
Yusei: Ah-ahhh-ahhhh!
Trudge: Haha, look like you're just hanging on. Now! Pursuit Chaser, end this! <4:00>
(Yusei frantically pulls himself closer to his runner, reaching down with his other hand to press one of the facedown activation buttons on the duel disk. He also apparently grabs on with this hand and gets back on the runner)
Yusei: I play my facedown! "Confusion Chaff"!
(It sends Pursuit Chaser spinning upward)
Trudge: Come back!
Yusei: Oh, he will. See, my trap cancelled his attack. But guess what-- he gets to fight again, only this time, it's against your own monster, Search Striker! Just watch!
(Trudge's monsters fight, and Search Striker gets destroyed)
Trudge: Striker. I'm gonna get you for that, Yusei-- just you wait!
(Trudge places a facedown.) <5:00>
Blister (via radio): Yusei-- brace yourself!
Yusei: Huagh!
Blister (via radio): Next stop, ground floor!
(Yusei tilts the front of his runner upward, getting ready to land...)
ACT 2 <5:06>
(Yusei tilts the runner nose-upward to take the impact on the back wheel; he lands, yelling a bit, and puts the nose down to hit the ground running and get out of the elevator; Trudge lands and ends up stuck in the shaft when the doors close.)
Trudge: Hey!!
Yusei: See ya, Trudge! (think) Alright, now to get outta here...
(Trudge bursts through the elevator doors one floor up, and races after Yusei on a balcony above.)
Trudge: We're not done yet!!
(He darts ahead, then bursts through the railing to land right next to him. Trudge rams Yusei from the side)
Trudge: Hey. Yusei. I hope you like the Facility--
(Trudge suddenly gets a boot to his face. Blister rides between them and pushes Trudge out of Yusei's space, then apparently kicks him over; Trudge disappears behind)
Yusei: Blister? Wow, thanks man!
Blister: Forget the thank-you's. I'm only here to check out my handiwork and see you don't get caught. 'Cause if word got out that I slipped up somehow, my reputation might not ever be able to recover. And don't go thinking this makes us friends or anything, got that? <6:00> (his voice wavers) I already ruined one friendship.
Yusei: Tell me about Arrow.
(Blister looks at the road; the background around his wheel changes as a flashback begins)
(Flashback. A sunny day, and a cheering crowd. Blister and Arrow are in the middle of a duel, riding a green runner with yellow racing stripes; the same one Blister rides now.)
Blister (VO): Fine. It's like I toldja before, we were tag-team duelists in the semi-pro league.
FB Blister: We play Machiner Sniper! Now end this!
(This card is known in the TCG officially as Machina Sniper. The monster from the ruined card under Blister's picture frame at home appears, and blasts the enemy monster to pieces.They win, and raise a huge trophy together, possibly the one in the picture. Blister is actually smiling.)
Blister (VO): We were at the top of our game, and it was all because Arrow was a great competitor, and an even greater friend. He thought we'd be champs forever, but Arrow couldn't see the big picture. We were never gonna make the big money stuck doing tag-duels. I had to go solo.
(Fade to black. We scroll from there out into a shadowy hallway lit only by natural light from a door at the end, in which two men stand talking.)
Blister (VO): And so when a rep from KaibaCorp showed up one day with a case full a' money, how could I say no? I had a new sponsor, a new gig, and an open road right to the big leagues. I'm talkin' about duelers like Atlas, Phoenix, Truesdale. The legends. But was Arrow happy? <7:00>
(Back to a bright day, a cheering crowd, and a dueling track)
Blister (VO): Whadda *you* think?
FB Arrow: Blister-- I'm summoning out Machiner Sniper in attack mode.
FB Blister: What?! Not him again! Whaddaya *want* us to lose this duel?!
FB Arrow: Why do you care about this anyway? I heard about the *deal* you made to go pro. I thought we were friends.
FB Blister: Friendship doesn't pay the rent! You think I wanna spend my life in the tag-duel bush leagues? Come on! You don't get it!
(Blister doesn't notice just how hurt Arrow is)
FB Arrow: Sorry.
(Machiner Sniper gets destroyed)
FB Blister: Look at what you just did, Arrow! I might as well kiss my contract goodbye!
FB Arrow: It's just... our friendship's all I've got.
FB Blister: Well guess what-- right now you've got NOTHING, then!
FB Arrow (looks ahead): Huh?
FB Blister: Ah!
(Their opponents' runner is apparently spinning out. A piece of it flies off and hits the connector cables on their runner. They lose control and jump the edge of the track, and suddenly this looks familiar.)
FB Blister: Aaaaaaaa-ugh! (lands)
(The cables fray apart and separate)
FB Arrow: Blister!
FB Blister: Grab my hand! Almost there!
(Blister veers off and flies free of the runner, leaving Arrow to stare in shock) <8:00>
FB Blister: Arrow...oh no...Arrow! Look out...!
(End Flashback.)
Blister: He was pretty banged-up and spent a few months in the hospital. He never let me say sorry. In fact he only sent me that card you saw to remind me of what a bad friend I was. So the next time someone tells you about *friendship*, well you just remember what I did to *my* best friend. Huh! I hope these *pals* of yours are worth the risk. 'Cause if I know anything about friends, I bet that they hang out with you only because they want something from you in return!
Yusei: No, they're good people, Blister.
Blister: Tch! Nobody's good forever. So you better just watch out for *yourself*.
Yusei: You're wrong! You're just too angry with yourself to see the truth! (sigh) Blister, can't you see that your friend Arrow never wanted to hurt you?
Blister: Huh?
Yusei: Sometimes friends... do some stupid things, huh? <9:00>
Trudge: You can say that again!
Blister: Huh?!
Trudge: This duel ain't over yet, punk! Your move! Heheheheh, but, don't think it'll help you escape from me!
Yusei (thinks): I better make a move so I don't end up back in lockdown!
(He reaches for his deck)
ACT 3 <9:16>
Yusei: Here we go!
(We see on Yusei's screen that his speed counters are at 4 and his spedometer is at 164 km/h and fluctuating. We also catch a glimpse of his hand: Urgent Tuning, Synchro Strike, Sonic Chick, and Speed Spell - Reactor Pod.)
Yusei: Time to rev it up! I summon Speed Warrior in attack mode! Now check *this* out, *Officer*, my Warrior's attack points are doubled!
Trudge: Ha! What a waste, Yusei! I activate my trap card! "Power Bind"! Now Speed Warrior can't attack until next turn! And until then, his attack points are zero! Kinda like your chances of getting out of this duel without a one-way ticket back to the Facility! <10:00> Sorry, satellite, but that runner's staying put! Hahahahahahaha! But on second thought, maybe I should just crush it into a cube! I'll be sure to take pictures so you can hang 'em in your cell!
Blister: Whoa. He sure doesn't like *you*.
Yusei: If you think it's bad now, wait until I play this! Reactor Pod!
(This is known as "Speed Spell - Reactor Pod" officially)
Trudge: A speed spell? Rrgh!
Yusei: And not just *any* speed spell; this one makes you take damage for Speed Warrior's *original* attack points!
Blister: Wow, you remind me so much of Arrow. You're not afraid of anything that guy throws your way.
Yusei: Well I'm sure Arrow wasn't scared because he had you as his teammate, and that's exactly how I feel right now having you as my wingman, Blister.
(Yusei's speed spell blasts Trudge; his lifepoints are now 2400)
Trudge: Rrrrgh, what else you got?! Or is that *all* for now?!
Yusei: I'm just gonna play a facedown, Trudge!
Trudge: 'Bout time! Now *I* draw!
(Both sets of speed counters rise by one: Yusei's at 5, Trudge's at 7)
Trudge: And don't forget punk, Speed Warrior's got zero attack points! <11:00> Which means he should be easy pickin's! Search Striker, attack!
Yusei: Not so fast! I play my trap... "Scrap-Iron Scarecrow"! Sorry, Trudge; not only is your attack cancelled, but I get to place my Scarecrow facedown again! You'll have to try harder than that.
Trudge: Is this what you had in mind? I play Final Countdown!
(This card is known officially in the TCG as "Terminal Countdown")
Trudge: And this card's all about *giving* something to *get* something! The more facedown cards I send to the graveyard, the more lifepoints you lose! Five hundred for one, fifteen hundred for three, and three thousand for four! And last I checked, you have fourteen hundred lifepoints! So by sending three facedowns to my grave, you lose the duel and I win! I got one facedown out there already; and come next turn I'm going to throw down two more and make three! And after that, Yusei, it's game over, satellite! You got one turn left; make it count! <12:00>
Blister: I just don't see how you can win this duel now, Yusei! No matter how fast you try and go, you can't outrun that card's effect!
Yusei: Oh, no? (draw) Just watch! Listen up, Speed Warrior-- it's time for some defense! And next I'm summoning out Healing Wave Generator, to help generate a little more 'D' for myself!
[Healing Wave Generator: 800/1600/4]
Computer: Healing Wave Generator allows you to select one monster on your field and you gain lifepoints equal to that monster's level times one hundred.
Yusei: Now thanks to my Generator's special ability, I choose my level-two Speed Warrior, so that I can give my lifepoints a two-hundred-point boost! And with that bonus, it looks like you'll need *four facedowns* to win this, and I don't plan on letting that happen.
Trudge: Rrrgh. We'll see, satellite!
Blister: If your goal is to make that guy even angrier, I'd call that combo a resounding success. I just hope you pull this off, Yusei!
Yusei: Me, too. I play two facedowns and end my turn!
Trudge: Alright then, my move!
(speed counters: Trudge 9, Yusei 7) <13:00>
Trudge: And I summon the tuner monster Torapart! And now I tune my Torapart and my Search Striker, in order to synchro-summon-- Goyo Guardian!
[Goyo Guardian: 2800//]
Trudge: Now take out that Healing Wave Generator!
Yusei: Don't you *learn*?! I can still play my Scrap-Iron Scarecrow! Huh?
Trudge: Oh no you can't! See with Torapart in my graveyard, you can't trigger your trap this round! So it looks like Scrap-Iron Scarecrow's scaring *nothing* away! And now my Goyo Guardian's taking control of your Healing Wave Generator! So with your Generator on *my* side of the field, not only can I use its strength to fortify my defenses, but your own monster's gonna win this *for* me, satellite! 'Cause now I get a power surge! <14:00> To the tune of one hundred lifepoints for each level of the monster I pick! And by choosing my Guardian, I gain *six hundred* more lifepoints! I'm almost back to full power!
(Trudge raises both arms to welcome his new lifepoints. He's up to 3000 now.
Trudge: Haha! Yusei, there's nothing better than outsmarting a smart-aleck! Heha, and don't think I forgot about Final Countdown! So with this facedown, you're one card away from losing!
Blister: Hey-- whaddaya doin'?! It's like I said, I can't afford to have you lose this duel and end up getting caught, 'cause if *you* go down, so do I! So whadda you planning?
Yusei: I'm planning on *winning* this duel, Blister! And your friendship's gonna make it all possible!
(Blister stares at Yusei, stunned)
ACT 4 <14:38>
Yusei: Blister, I need you to help me out here!
Blister: Listen, the last thing you want is me as a friend! Friends may get you through your day in the Satellite, but over here they just get in the way!
Yusei: I *know* you don't believe that. I saw the card, Blister. <15:00> The one that Arrow rescued from your last race. Remember?
(Flashback to the burned and ripped card, and Blister standing in the corner looking at it)
Blister: Stop it! He gave me that card to remind me that I failed our friendship!
Yusei: You're wrong.
Blister: Huh?
Yusei: He gave you that card... as a *symbol* of your friendship. And no matter what road your two lives might have taken since that day, he's still your friend.
(Flashback. We see the backside of the card, which appears to be carefully glued back together. We see Arrow lying on the ground amidst roiling smoke and embers, one outstretched arm holding the damaged card away from the fire.)
Yusei (VO): Arrow doesn't blame you for the accident, he blames *himself*. He probably thought if he only supported you a little more, he could've been by your side all the way to the pro league. It's not that he didn't want you to go; he didn't want you to go *alone*. So he gave you the only thing that mattered-- the card that fused your friendship.
Yusei: You know why? Because without his best friend, he didn't care about dueling anymore. But if you ever needed help, you know Arrow would be there without a second to waste. Whatever you think, there's one thing in Arrow that hasn't changed; he's your friend. <16:00>
(Blister looks down at his runner. Yusei puts a hand on his deck, ready to draw.)
Blister: I... don't know what to think...
Yusei: Just one thing. That I'm your friend as well.
(Blister lifts his head to stare as Yusei draws his card.)
Yusei: It's my move! And I summon Turbo Synchron!
[Turbo Synchron ///]
Yusei: And the bonus of having a tuner monster out there is that Quillbolt Hedgehog comes back from the graveyard!
[Quillbolt Hedgehog
Yusei: I think it's about time we take this battle to the next level! Now Turbo Synchron, take out his Healing Wave Generator!
Trudge: What?! He doesn't stand a chance against that monster! What, are all those diesel fumes choking all your brain cells?! You're gonna lose this one, satellite!
(Turbo Synchron attacks and is rebuffed; Yusei is left with 100 lifepoints left. )
Trudge: Told ya! And now you're down to a hundred lifepoints! Nice knowin' ya.
Yusei: Why-- you plannin' on goin' somewhere? Or didya forget that when Turbo Synchron attacks, even if he loses, I can summon another monster-- and I got just the one in mind. I didn't use her in our last match in the pipeline; <17:00> Sonic Chick, say hello!
[Sonic Chick ///]
Yusei: Next I play my trap card, "Urgent Tuning"!
Computer: "Urgent Tuning" is a trap card that allows you to release the required monsters on your field in order to synchro-summon during the battle phase.
Yusei: So now by combining all the monsters on my field, I can use their bond to bring about a beast that will end this duel. I enjoyed my time at the Facility, but this synchro-summon is gonna make sure I don't go back!
Blister: Oh man! Arrow played a similar combo in our first tag-team championship match! Yusei-- you sure you can handle a move like this?
Trudge: Don't do it!
Yusei: Sorry, Trudge. Now I tune my Turbo Synchron with my Quillbolt Hedgehog, Speed Warrior, and Sonic Chick, to synchro-summon Turbo Warrior!
(One by one, Yusei's monsters deconstruct into glowing golden outlines, then into stars. The stars soar into the sky and group together, then a ring aligns around them. A beam of light shoots straight through the ring and stars, parallel to Yusei and his runner...)
Yusei: Turbo Warrior, let's rev it up! <18:00>
[Turbo Warrior ///]
Blister: What a move!
Yusei: Now Turbo Warrior, take out that Goyo Guardian!
Trudge: Huhuhuhuhuhuh... Still can't add, can you, Yusei? Perhaps you can take remedial math back at the Facility! Maybe then you'll learn.
Yusei: Well? Let me teach *you* something first! Like what my Warrior can do! It cuts your Guardian's attack points right in half. Say goodbye.
Trudge: What?!
Blister: Yusei, you got 'im on the ropes!
(Turbo Warrior blasts Goyo Guardian... who resists the attack and keeps hanging on...)
Trudge: Big deal; even with half its strength gone I can still survive. But next round you're outta time, 'cause I'm activating my Countdown's effect!
Yusei: Hm. Next round? There *is* no 'next round', Trudge! I play "Synchro Strike", which gives five hundred more attack points to my Turbo Warrior, for every monster I used to synchro-summon it! <19:00>
Trudge: No!
Yusei: And if my *math* is right, that adds up to your defeat!
Trudge: How can this be?! With that kind of power, I can't stop that warrior from wiping out all of my lifepoints!
(Turbo Warrior's attack points now read 4500.)
Trudge: Ugh! I won't let you win!
Blister: Look out!
Yusei: Ah!
(Trudge rams Yusei from the side)
Trudge: I don't care if I have to cheat to do it, but the only way you're getting outta here is with a Sector Security escort!!
(Blister rides up and gets between them)
Blister: No!
Trudge: Ah! You too?! Fine, there's plenty of room in the Facility!
(Trudge tries to break through, but Blister is solidly between Yusei and Trudge, and might even have just tangled his runner onto Trudge's.)
Blister: Attack now!
Yusei: I can't!
Blister: Just attack! Isn't this what friends are for?!
Yusei: They are.
Blister (to Trudge): Ugh, back *off*! My friend's got a duel to win!
(Yusei nods and goes into a sideways skid)
Yusei: Now... Turbo Warrior, finish the job!
(Turbo Warrior soars into the air above Goyo Guardian, who swings his bladed chain and gets ready to fight back. Goyo's chain gets deflected by Turbo Warrior's metallic claw, which then begins to heat up as Turbo Warrior dives toward it; the impact is as though that one claw were as big as Turbo's whole body. <20:00> Goyo Guardian shatters. Trudge looks up at the completed battle, despairing.)
Trudge: Aaagh!
(Trudge's runner screen shows an X and shuts down; Trudge and his runner collapse on top of Blister's runner; Blister himself is thrown off and lands next to it. Yusei looks back)
Yusei: Blister!
Blister: Yusei! Just get out of here! Go!
(Yusei rides toward freedom, and comes soaring out into the New Domino night, onto a spot surrounded on all sides by Security goons. At least thirty of the guys. Yusei lands his jump right in front of them and keeps riding-- man, looks more like about a hundred of them, all armed with tasers that zap Yusei as he races headlong through the crowd.)
(Somewhere nearby, a little girl with bright green pigtails gasps suddenly. She's sitting at a coffee table with her twin brother, who wears his bright greeen hair in a bushy ponytail.)
Luna: Oh!
Leo: Huh? What is it?
(Yusei is still flying blindly through the sea of tasers...)
(...and somehow Luna feels that peril. She sits there, trembling, eyes wide, then jumps up and runs for the door.)
Leo: Luna? Luna!
(Yusei crashes through a wall and into a pile of cardboard boxes, wooden boards, and garbage cans, blind with pain. He is now in a neat, clean concrete area, right outside Leo and Luna's apartment. The twins run out the door and find him, unconscious on the ground and in pain, a mysterious stranger in need.)
Leo: Who... who *is* he?
(They seem afraid to approach...) <21:00>
