TEASER
(Late at night at a Security building in the Satellite, a thief hums aimlessly as he searches. He pulls open a drawer with one hand; his forearms are covered with tan woolen wristguards.)
Crow: Ah..! Jackpot!
(The intruder rummages in the drawer. He wears dark green jeans and an orange shirt under a brown leather vest. His arms are bare, but for the wristguards and a metal cuff around each bicep. A big grey tote bag hangs from one of his shoulders.)
Crow: Huh! These cards're just what I'm looking for! Hahahahah!
(He starts to load decks into his bag.)
(Outside, Security guys are approaching the front of the building and a parked duel runner.)
- We've got reports of a suspicious person out by the Impound Lot. Looks like some underground dueler might be trying to get his deck back.
- Unit five-niner, en route.
(The Security guys climb out of their vehicles and stand on either side of a black and yellow duel runner, parked out front.)
- Whoa, looks like our suspicious person's got some style.
- I've never seen a duel runner like *this* before, partner.
(Inside, the thief is placing more decks of duel cards into his bag.)
Crow: Now *this* is a crime-- keepin' sweet cards like these locked up in here, while players back home can't even make up a decent deck!
(The officers attempt to approach the runner. As they do, the side-fins fold up and down and they hear beeping.)
- Check it out!
(One of them touches it and receives an electric shock, winces back. The screen turns on.)
- Whoa, ugh, now *that's* an alarm!
- Well, whoever's bike this is, it's Sector Security's now. <1:00>
(The thief inside pulls open another drawer, looks at another card, and smirks; at last we get a clear look at his face. His yellowing tracking dye is like gaudy warpaint, with a thick triangle and line design down each cheek, a jagged line across his forehead like a letter M, and a dot above that. Metal bolts dangle from each of his ears like earrings. A dark green headband with two metal rings through it restrains his energetic shock of red hair, and his light gray eyes are mischievous, especially at the present moment.)
Crow: Hah! Crow, the Satellite's gonna love ya for this!
(Opening)
ACT 1 <2:08>
(In the dimly-lit early morning, a road extends outward from the city into the ocean-- then stops, cut off. Two red lights blink tiredly atop the arch over the road, perhaps signaling any boats to navigate around the supports. It is at the edge of this severed road that Yusei and Goodwin stand. Goodwin gazes directly out at the other side, and Yusei has turned to the side.)
Goodwin: How do you like the bridge, Yusei? Did you know that it was once going to connect the Satellite with New Domino City?
Yusei: So why was it never finished?
Goodwin: Hm. I'm glad you asked. You see, if the construction of this bridge was ever completed, it would have given the evil that lives deep beneath the Satellite access to my precious New Domino City. And the battle that is about to begin must never reach these shores.
Yusei: But what about the people in the Satellite?
Goodwin: They will become enveloped in eternal darkness unless someone can save them.
Yusei: So why aren't you using the power you possess to get them *out* of there?!
Goodwin: I can't do that.
Yusei: But *why*?
Goodwin: Because as long as the people in the Satellite remain there, the darkness will stay as well. <3:00>
Yusei: But why would you put the people of the Satellite at risk?!
(Goodwin turns to face him.)
Goodwin: Yusei, the time has come for me to tell you the truth!
(Meanwhile, outside the Impound, the two Security officers who responded to the robbery watch the duel runner get loaded onto a truck by crane.)
- Oh, man, this runner's gonna look sweet in my garage-- Oh, I mean, the Impound Center.
(Crow looks at a flashing readout built into the duel disk on his left arm.)
Crow: Looks like Sector Security is earlier than usual. Time to make my exit! Hm.
(He looks up at the barred vents, high on the walls.)
Crow: But I don't think the air vents are gonna work *this* time. Looks like it's plan 'B'.
(He backs up and looks down a hallway; pulls a set of goggles down over his eyes; now he can see that the hallway is crisscrossed with lasers. A number readout in the goggles scrambles to read 39:670.)
Crow: Sweet, plan B's my *favorite*! Ha!
(He runs straight down the hallway, setting off a dozen alarms.)
(At a Security HQ or guard station somewhere...)
- An intruder!
- I'm patching in surveillance now! He's not in the money vaults...
- Try Deck Storage! (Crow appears onscreen) There! We've got 'im! Lock him in! Shut down all the elevators!
(Back to Crow's hall, same guy over PA)
- Attention! There's no way out! Surrender now!
(Crow keeps running, now being chased by guards.)
- There he is! Stop running and drop to the floor!
Crow: Oh, I'll drop to the floor all right-- the *ground* floor, that is!
(He leaps, an arm up to shield his face, right through the plate-glass window at the end of the hall-- flies through the air, surrounded by shards of broken glass-- <4:00> lands on the top of the truck that has arrived to carry away his runner, jumps off, pulls off his duel disk in midair, and lands on his runner on top of it, pressing it into place. The slot lights up, illuminating the area around it, and his duel disk shapes itself into the console, curving in a circle around the deck portion.)
Crow: Time- to- ride!
(Crow puts on his helmet, black with a yellow visor and a top spot that's red)
Crow: Thanks for keeping an eye on 'er, but me and my ride gotta take off now. Try to keep up if ya can, officers!
- Close the security gate, fast!
(Crow races toward the closing gate, kicking up sparks from his wheels)
Crow (suspenseful): It's gonna be close! ...Yah!
(Crow never stops smiling as the gates close. With a yell of effort, he jumps the fence at the last minute; the officers gasp in awe, and he grins even wider. As he lands the officers open the gate again to pursue.)
Crow: Just try to keep up!
(Chasing him is a Security guy on a runner, plus two more in a car.
- He's getting away! If this guy escapes again, the captain's gonna make me a crossing guard! And I ain't goin' back to school, so if this punk wants to speed, I'll make 'im do it with his deck! I activate "Speed World"! Now there's no way outta here without a duel!
(Crow frowns down at the screen of his runner. It switches to duel mode, then shows him a rearview camera of the officer chasing him.)
Computer: Overriding suspect's duel runner. Duel mode engaged. Autopilot engaged. <5:00>
Crow: Hah! A speed duel? You guys really don't know who you're dealing with, do you? But I guess you're gonna hafta find out the hard way! When your boss asks who beat you tonight, tell 'em it was Crow!
Both: Let's duel!
ACT 2 <5:15>
(Somewhere among the factories of the Satellite, late at night...)
Crow: You'll never beat me, copper!
- Oh I'll beat you, and then it's straight to the Facility!
Both: Let's do this!
(Each duelist starts with 4000 lifepoints.)
- And it's my move, Crow! I summon Gate Blocker in defense mode!
[Gate Blocker 100/2000/L4/]
- Next up I'm playing three facedowns and ending my turn!
Crow: Then it's *my* move. Ha! (draw) Hey-- my speed-counters; they're stuck at one! (sic)
(The officer's speed counters just increased from zero to one; Crow's didn't move.)
- You learn quick, perp; with Gate Blocker out there, your duel runner's stuck in neutral, which means that your speed counters are all locked up!
Crow: Nice monster! Now I think I'll show ya *mine*!
- (think) Go ahead; you don't get to be one of New Domino City's finest unless you know how to duel! I got three cards waiting to take him down. <6:00> First up, "Sakuretsu Armor". This piece of hardware takes out his monster as soon as it attacks! Facedown number two, "Dust Tornado". This'll blow away his spells and traps! And finally number three, "Intercept". As soon as he releases a monster to upgrade to something bigger, it comes over to *my* side of the field! So no matter what move he tries to make, he'll never outrun the long arm of the law! (aloud) Hey Crow, how does it feel knowing you're gonna be a jailbird after the next round!
(The Gate Blocker ahead looms over Crow, but he brashly draws anyway.)
Crow: Doubt it, 'cause I'm playing Blackwing - Sirocco the Dawn! Huh!
Computer: You can special summon the monster card Blackwing - Sirocco the Dawn from your hand when your opponent has monsters on their field, but you have none.
[Blackwing - Sirocco the Dawn 2000/900/L5]
- I'm gonna ground that piece of poultry permanently!
Crow: Don't think so, officer! 'Cause now I'm summoning, Blackwing - Gale the Whirlwind!
[Blackwing - Gale the Whirlwind 1300//]
Crow: And now that I have *those* two feathered friends in play, there's only one thing left to do. <7:00> I summon, another Blackwing to the field called Bora the Spear!
[Blackwing - Bora the Spear ///]
- Guess when I called you a bird-brain, I was right! You see? Those three birds are worthless! They're all too weak to get through my Gate Blocker!
Crow: Really! But what if I hatch one of their special abilities? Blackwing Whirlwind, cut his defense points in half! Guess they don't teach *that* at the Police Academy! Whirlwind, do your stuff.
(Whirlwind shoots a gust of wind at Gate Blocker, and one layer of the Gate Blocker erodes; its points drop to 1000.)
Crow: And now, I'll activate a trap from my hand! And this one goes by "Delta Crow - Anti Reverse"!
- From your *hand*?!
All three officers: You can't do that!
Crow: I can when I have three Blackwings on my field! After all, birds of a feather flock together, and you're on the wrong side a' the nest! Now my Delta Crow destroys all the cards that're on your field!
- No way! <8:00>
Crow: And now, let's check out *Sirocco's* special ability! Instead of all three of my Blackwings attacking one at a time, Sirocco combines their attack points for one master blast! Oh, and if your captain asks how this *bird-brain* took out his Sector Security saps in one round, just tell 'im I did it with a move I learned from my last day at the Facility!
- F-five thousand attack points?!
Crow: And next I'm activating my Bora's special ability, which will swoop in and swipe the last of your lifepoints! Looks like *this* jailbird is about to sprout some wings and fly off into the sunset! Go Black Spiral Bayer!
(The officer yells. There's lots of yelling. Huge black tornado coming towards him. Lifepoints straight from 4000 to zero. An X flashes on his runner monitor, and he slows and stops. The Security car carrying the two spectator officers continues pursuit.)
Crow: Hah!
- Do something, he's getting away!
- Not unless he can *fly*!
(It's true; they're approaching a massive chasm that runs through the satellite. Crow, though, is unfazed and beneath his helmet cracks a menacing grin. <9:00> He speeds up.)
- No way! He's gonna fall right off the edge!
(As Crow races toward the chasm, there's a crossbar between the two rather large fins we noticed earlier, under Crow's arms. He is fearlessly approaching a dead drop.)
ACT 3 <9:13>
Crow: It's time *this* Crow spread his wings!
(On his runner screen we see a diagram, as the large fins on his runner fold out to become wings for gliding.)
Computer: Wings engaged.
(From above, the runner now resembles a black and yellow jet fighter. Crow is racing toward the chasm, across which lies freedom, directly into the rising sun.)
Crow: Takeoff!!
(Crow lifts the runner, as though jumping, an engine in the back that leaves a contrail kicks in, and Crow indeed is flying through the air)
Both officers: He's flying!
(They can hardly believe their eyes, as Crow flies across the chasm, lands front-wheel-up on the other side, hits the ground riding, and keeps going. They screech to a halt short of the chasm.)
- We need backup, call the captain!
- Oh, sure, pal-- and *you* wanna tell 'im what just happened?! That he got away? Go ahead!
- Good point. Let's just pretend this never happened.
- What?
- *Exactly.*
(The New Domino Hospital has seen better days. Behind the caution tape, the walls are all cracking and battered like something out of the Satellite. The sound of typing can be heard. <10:00> Trudge comes to.)
Trudge: Ugh! Oh, rrrgh! Oh man. Huh?!
(He sees a huge hole in the ceiling, all the caution tape...)
Trudge: Where exactly am I? What happened in here, huh?
(Mina is typing, at a reception desk of some kind nearby. She is unusually authoritative and cold; she is angry!)
Mina: I was hoping you could tell *me*, Trudge.
Trudge: I came to find Jack, and then I forget.
Mina (primly): Well, you found Jack all right, just look!
Trudge: At *what*?
(Mina turns around the monitor she was working on, to show a security camera feed of the duel beginning.)
Mina: You were *dueling*!
Trudge: That's *me*...
Mina: Yes, *genius*, and now Jack's gone missing, we have to find him before something happens!
Trudge: Wait... you can't think *I* had something to do with him vanishing!
(Hands on hips, she glares down at him out of the corner of her eye.)
Mina: And why *would* I? Could it be that you two were *dueling in an illegal match that turned this hospital into a war zone?!*
(She turns away. He stands to follow her.)
Trudge: Well, when you put it *that* way...
(A thin, unfinished bridge arcs off into the distance over the sea, supported by crudely-constructed pylons, as we pan over an unfamiliar area of the Satellite at dawn. As we come closer, we can hear several little kids.)
Nestling #3: Heh! Tag, you're It!
Nestling #4: Oh come on, I'm *always* It!
Nestling #3: Gotta learn to run faster!
(The little kids are playing outside a plain, ramshackle sort of shed. Giant pipes are all around this area in the background. Nestling #1, a little boy with spiky brown-violet hair and a red vest, and Nestling #2, a little girl with bright red hair and a faded pink dress, were playing with a friendly-looking dog; Nestling #3, a little boy with a blue shirt, and Nestling #4, a little girl with a pink skirt, ragged blouse, and an off-white bun holder, were playing tag with duel disks in the far side of the building; Nestling #5, a little boy with a lilac bandanna, pauses standing in front of the shack. All of them hear the sound of a duel runner approaching. Crow appears around the corner between the dense buildings. Every face lights up.) <11:00>
Nestling #4: Aha! Look, it's Crow!
Nestling #3: He's back!
Nestling #4: Haha!
Nestling #1: Wha'd you bring us? Wha'd you bring us?!
Nestling #2: *I* wanna see!
Crow: *First*, have all you kids been good?
All: Yeah!
Crow: Well, in *that* case... tada!
(He pulls out some of the cards he stole earlier.)
All: Wow!
Nestling #1: Thanks, Crow! They're great!
Nestling #4: Are they *ours*? Like for keeps?
Crow: 'Course; every kid needs a duel deck! And Uncle Crow just found these *lyin' around*. Just promise, that you won't let Sector Security see ya playin' with these cards; 'cause if ya do, then they might just come lookin' for *this* face! But I promise that one day Sector Security won't bother us no more.
All: Yeah!
(As Crow pushes his runner into the garage-hovel he calls home, the computer speaks to him, showing footage from the end of the Fortune Cup, and Yusei standing at the center of the stadium in triumph.)
Computer: Welcome home, Crow. Have you seen the news? Yusei Fudo won the Fortune Cup. He defeated Jack Atlas. He is the new champion.
Crow: Hm! Looks like all of the rumors are true, then. Huh! (rueful shrug) Now if *Yusei* could make it to New Domino City, why couldn't I?
(Back to Yusei and Goodwin. <12:00> Yusei rolls up his sleeve)
Yusei: You said you'd tell me the truth. Why don't we start with *this*.
(Goodwin glances at Yusei's arm then glares out to sea as he answers.)
Goodwin: That is the mark of the Crimson Dragon. It belongs to those who protect our world from the darkness.
(Yusei turns to watch Goodwin even closer. Goodwin bows his head when he speaks.)
Yusei: Oh, is that all? Then why did it choose *me*, huh?
Goodwin: Because you are strong and selfless, Yusei. The Dragon knew you would not run from a challenge, or from the darkness that is coming. (Looks at Yusei.) And this darkness is dangerous; it will take on many forms. Maybe a stranger, or a friend. But you will know, for they will have the mark of the shadows.
Yusei: Mark of the shadows?! You must mean the Dark Signers, I dueled one of their drones!
(Flashback to the appearance of the glowing purple spider on the hooded Drone's arm.)
Yusei (VO): And he had a glowing spider on his arm.
(End Flashback.)
Goodwin: Then the first battle of this war has already been won. Just as you were chosen to protect the light, they choose to protect the darkness. They will stop at nothing to stop you, Yusei.
Yusei: Dark Signers? Chosen protectors? But when did all this start?!
Goodwin: Perhaps we should go back to the beginning, five thousand years ago when the war began.
Yusei: Now we're getting somewhere; tell me. <13:00>
Goodwin: There were two great armies; one of shadow, one of light. They battled across the face of the earth, nearly destroying the whole planet.
Goodwin (VO): The army of light wasn't an army of men and steel, but of dragons; five powerful creatures that had sworn to protect the Earth at all costs! They fought the army of shadows, comprised of *other creatures*, unknown except for the scars they left on the soil.
(As Goodwin speaks, he voiceovers over visuals. The face of the Crimson Dragon, the five lesser dragons-- Stardust, Archfiend, Black Rose, Ancient Fairy, and a yellow one, and on top of that, a glowing geoglyph of a purple bird.)
(In the early morning, Luna, still asleep in her bed at Blister's place, is having a vivid nightmare. She moans, shakes, clutches her blankets, completely terrified. She is reliving the battle Goodwin describes.)
(As Goodwin continues, we see the army of darkness, barely visible forms wreathed in black fog, glowing red, green, orange, yellow, and blue, and pan back to see a stream of familiar red fly toward them and disappear. After it shoot five beams of light: light blue for Stardust, red for Archfiend, pink/purple for Black Rose, green for Ancient Fairy, and yellow for the unknown dragon.)
Goodwin (VO): The armies had gathered for one final battle. The dragons knew they had not the individual strength to win, so they combined their power into a single force, the Crimson Dragon!
(The Crimson Dragon leads the five into battle! The six dragons valiantly fight, breathing streams of colored light. The Crimson Dragon bells mightily.)
Goodwin (VO): The creatures of the shadows fought fiercely, but they were no match for the combined might of the dragons and their crimson hero!
(As the beams hit, the shadow-monsters begin to crumble away as though they were made of charcoal.) <14:00>
Goodwin (VO): Eventually, the army of shadows was defeated, but not destroyed. Instead, its essence was trapped deep beneath the earth, taking with them one prisoner-- the Ancient Fairy Dragon.
(The separate pieces of darkness rain down, glowing purple as they fall. The sky is full of them, like a rain of meteors. One of them, glowing red like hot coals, shoots something white out of it, and Ancient Fairy Dragon is swiftly ensnared by this 'web' futilely fluttering her butterfly wings and roaring as she is dragged toward the ground.)
(Luna clutches her blankets, teeth clenched, moaning, as she somnolently relives her dragon's fall.)
(As the thing that captured AFD disappears into the earth, a huge dome of light appears above it, into which AFD is pulled, and vanishes. Soon all that remains is the ground covered with the markings of the beasts, the Nazca Lines.)
Goodwin (VO): The creatures of the shadows were imprisoned under the Nazca Lines; but the dragons knew that one day they might return, and so they sacrificed themselves, instilling the power of the five dragons in generation after generation of humans...
(The seal of the crimson dragon glows, white against black. As we come around to the tail, the visual fades...)
(...To become the Sign on Yusei's arm as he stares at it.)
Goodwin: ...Hoping that maybe the Crimson Dragon could be summoned again.
You have the spirit of a dragon in *you*, Yusei!
(Flashback again to the Drone's glowing spider mark.)
Goodwin (VO): Just as the Dark Signers are possessed by the growing power of the army of shadows.
(End Flashback)
Yusei: But how? And, why now? I, I thought they were trapped under the ground or something, it's *been* five thousand years... <15:00>
Goodwin: It was something that we couldn't possibly predict that would happen. Tell me, have you heard of the Ener-D Reactor? It was built to absorb the positive energy created through dueling. But to create a better *future*, we had to take risks in the past.
(Flashback. The original Ener-D Reactor was a massive, spinning centrifuge of light, much like the recent one. A hand opens a glass box on a control panel and turns a key in the slot beneath it to activate the reactor. Scientists watch from below as the spinning speeds up and glows brighter. Then the dials start tilting too far, and the beautiful moment starts to look like a disaster.)
Goodwin (VO): Years ago, a prototype was built. It was kept deep underground, below the slums of the Satellite. Our goal was to harness the incredible energy created through the competition of dueling, and use it as a positive force. Imagine, powering all of New Domino City with just a pack of cards. We would be a beacon for the world! But then, something happened!!
(A column of light bursts upward into the unnatural purple clouds above, and spreads out from the point it began, demolishing everything in its path! The column of white light is now a couple blocks in diameter, still shooting into the clouds above. Below, the streets are cracking open, buildings are toppling over, parts of the area are flooding, some toppled buildings sinking underwater entirely.)
Goodwin (VO): Instead of releasing useful positive energy, the first Ener-D reactor had a meltdown! Negative energy erupted and split New Domino City in two; everything above the reactor was infused with this negative energy. It became a barren wasteland of depression; it became the Satellite.
(When the blaze of light subsides, the Satellite is as we know it today; a destroyed cityscape on a little island isolated by sea.)
(Next we see the surface of the earth from space, and a beam of light shoots up from it, beyond the atmosphere.)
Goodwin (VO): But the troubles didn't end there; the burst of negative energy was so strong, the surface of the earth trembled, and something deep beneath it was awoken! <16:00>
Yusei (VO): The army of shadows...!
Goodwin (VO): Exactly. They fed on the negative energy--
(Back to the Nazca Lines, in the violet twilight after the first battle.)
Goodwin (VO): Growing in power until now, when they were strong enough to continue their war. We *can't* let that happen.
(End Flashback/Vision.)
Goodwin: I know this must all come as a shock, but I promise you that my grief is even worse than you could imagine. After all, I was in favor of its creation.
(Flashback to the sight of the first Reactor as it sparks and crackles out of control, radiating prismatic light.)
Goodwin (VO): I thought it would help people. But lo and behold, the power of this reactor has sparked a war between the Signers and the forces of darkness!
(End Flashback.)
Goodwin: But I know how to end it, and I'm going to need your help. That duel tournament wasn't held just for fun. I had some suspicions who the Signers might be, and that tournament proved it! Now that I've gathered you all together, you can combine your strength and defeat the Dark Signers, those who are trying to open the earthen prison of the shadow army.
Yusei: And if... we can't, and they release the shadows...
Goodwin: If *that* should happen, well... you've already seen a glimpse of our fate. During your duel with Jack. Do you remember? <17:00>
(Flashback. The four Signers ride and fly over a vision of a massive glowing purple spider wrought over the Satellite. Below them, the landscape is engulfed in purple flames.)
Yusei: ... I can't get it out of my head. The Satellite was destroyed!
(End Flashback.)
Yusei: Can't we evacuate, get all the people to safety? I got friends that are stuck there, Goodwin!
Goodwin: Where would you take them? Satellite's first, then New Domino would be next! The planet will be reduced to ash. But the first battle must take place in the Satellite. That's where this negative energy originated, and that's where it must be stopped!
Yusei: What'm *I* to do?! Am I supposed to beat this army of shadows on my own!?
(As he speaks, he remembers Rally, and Nervin, Tank, and Blitz.)
Yusei (VO): Am I supposed to put the safety of all my friends in my deck!?
(Goodwin points dramatically again, toward the opposite end of the bridge)
Goodwin: The people need a hero, Yusei! Be that hero! Defeat the Dark Signers, or let them take over-- the choice is yours! What's it going to be?
Yusei: I'll take these Signers on. But wait! You said there's *five* of us, didn't you?! I'm only counting four Signers, who's the fifth?!
Goodwin: I'm still working on that, Yusei. But I'm sure they'll show up. <18:00> For now, let's get you back to the Satellite.
(As he speaks this last, the wind whips up; a large helicopter transport, open and with Yusei's runner in the cargo compartment, hovers up at the end of the bridge. Goodwin, standing in front of this gateway to the Satellite, looks rather impressive.)
Goodwin: Don't let the world down, Yusei!
ACT 4 <18:12>
(Within the dark crater at the center of the Satellite, light trickles down faintly from above onto a large metal spire. The three Dark Signers we've seen before, with robes trimmed in red, yellow, and blue, stand before the spire. The man in red-trimmed robes speaks.)
Roman: And here is where the awakening began. Can you feel it, brothers? The negative energy flowing through the land? Soon the Satellite will fall to the army of shadows-- and then the *world* will follow!
(The camera spins upward, around the spire, as he laughs sinisterly.)
Roman: Hmhahahahahahaha!
(Jack sleeps fitfully-- is he perhaps having the same dream as Luna? -- and awakens. He sits up in bed, momentarily confused. His arm is still in a sling.)
Jack: What happened?
(Flashback.)
FB Carly: Oh, uh--
FB Jack: It's my, and--
FB Carly: A-a-a-and my--
FB Both: Turn!
(End FB)
Jack: The hospital... the *duel*...
(In another room, Carly has fallen asleep on her face at the table. It's obvious what she's dreaming about as knocking is heard in the background.)
Carly (sleep-talking): I-if you say so, Jack, we'll-- *draw!* <19:00> (wakes up) Hm? The door! Um, hello?
(Mina and Trudge are at the door. Carly recognizes Trudge.)
Carly (gasp!): What's he doing here?
(Mina all but ignores her and strides past into the room without an invitation)
Mina (snaps): He's fine.
Carly: Uh...
Trudge: If it means anything, um, I wasn't exactly myself back at the hospital.
(Carly is not much comforted.)
Mina: I said he's fine now. We're not here for you anyway; we wanna know where Jack is.
Carly: Jack?!
Mina: Ugh, the cameras caught you leaving, 'kay? He's here. So hand 'im over or else!
Jack: There's not gonna be any *or else*, Mina. She saved me back there!
(Suddenly Jack is towering over Mina, and she's dithery and shy again.)
Mina: Saved you? I-I'm sorry. Let's- let's go home. I'm sure Goodwin is so worried!
Jack: About anything else. I *lost*. I'm not the champ anymore. I'm just--
Mina: A great duelist.
Jack: You mean I *was*, Mina. Just go. I'm staying here.
Mina: But--
Jack: No 'buts'. I'm done being *told*, by Goodwin, by everyone! Just leave me alone.
(Jack doesn't notice the look on Mina's face; it's a miracle she isn't crying.)
Jack: Tell Goodwin goodbye!
(Trudge and Carly are watching silently.)
Carly: Oh... (think, elated) He's staying here, with me! What a scoop! 'Young Blogger Finds Love With Ex-Champ'! <20:00> Nah, too tabloid. How about, 'Summoning the Love Card'!
Mina: For what it's worth, *I* still think you're the champ. Have fun with your new friend. Mph!
(She huffs lightly, and walks past Trudge and Carly, who stand aside, and out the door, glaring a bit at Carly as she goes.)
Trudge (awkwardly): Well, uh, look at the time. Uh, gotta go!
(He makes a hasty exit.)
Carly: Uh... (think) Well *that* was awkward! But, at least now I got Jack all to myself! (girly giggle)
Jack: Listen. I want to thank you for all of your help getting me out of that hospital. But I wanna be alone right now, Shirley.
(He turns and walks back into the room from whence he came, closing the door.)
Carly: Um, it's... Carly...
(Meanwhile, Yusei's transport vessel is soaring down on a familiar skyline. A voice speaks over a loudspeaker.)
- We're approaching the Satellite. Opening cargo hatch. Prepare for dropoff.
(As the cargo hatch opens, Yusei is illuminated. He is sitting on his runner, helmet on and visor down, back to the opening hatch.)
- T-minus-ten seconds and counting. Ten, nine, eight, seven, six, five, four, three, two, one.
(As the countdown begins, his runner screen turns on, apparently on standby with a green dotted circle in the middle. Yusei leans forward, ready to ride, accelerates, and backs down the ramp created by the hatch, into thin air.)
- Cargo deployed.
(Yusei drops in freefall to the Satellite a significant drop below, hits the ground riding by landing on his back wheel, swerves a bit, <21:00> and comes to a halt. He's somewhere in a dump. We hear a familiar, somewhat obnoxious, voice.)
Crow: Nice landing!
Yusei: Huh? Who's that? *Crow?!*
(Crow is sitting on his runner, helmet on, atop a pile of trash, looming above.)
Crow: You got a lotta nerve, coming back here!
(Yusei is at the bottom of the trash heap, Crow atop it looking down, silhouetted in murky Satellite sunlight, dust and fog swirling around Yusei's wheels. Showdown.)
