TEASER
(The Satellite is as smoggy, misty, and bleak as ever. Yusei and Crow are where we left them. Yusei climbs off his runner and faces Crow.)
Crow: You've got some explaining to do, pal! So start talkin'!
(Crow slides down the pile of trash on both feet, leaving his runner atop it, and approaches Yusei, raising his fist.)
Yusei: First things first...
(Yusei raises his fist)
Crow: You asked for it!
(They clasp hands warmly; up high, down low, and a fist bump.)
Crow: Ha-ha!
Yusei: Yeah!
Crow: Hey, Yusei!
Yusei: Good to see ya, Crow!
(They pat each other on the shoulder, both grinning.)
Yusei: Whaddaya been up to?
Crow: Aw, come on; you know me. Still fightin' the good fight; (punches Yusei in the gut playfully) robbin' the rich to feed the poor and all that! So I see Sector Security got to ya.
(Yusei glances at his mark)
Yusei: Yeah, well... hm. I see *you* finally learned how to use a wrench!
(Crow turns, and they're both looking at his runner sitting atop the trash)
Crow: Yeah; finished 'er last year! She's a beauty, right? Whaddayou say we hit the streets!
(Elsewhere in the Satellite, the two riders go off a high jump, soaring through the air.)
Crow: Wooooooooooo!
(They both land smoothly, Crow's back wheel shooting up sparks.)
Crow: So I hear that you're some big-shot champion now.
Yusei: Yeah-- somethin' like that.
(They both laugh, and ride away.) <1:00>
(Later on, the two sit on the edge of a piece of pavement that juts up into the air, their runners and helmets parked below.)
Crow: So Goodwin captured your friends and *forced* you to duel in that tournament?
Yusei: Now I need to make sure they're safe.
Crow: Well then, let's head over to your old hideout.
Yusei: Hey Crow, why are the streets so deserted?
(Indeed, they are the only ones anywhere in view.)
Crow: These creepy cats have been comin' around lately. Like down there; look.
(As he speaks, we see two robed drones walk out from behind a corner, followed by four entranced bystanders.)
Crow: They spout these wacky teachings and things, tryin' to round up followers. I hear they're gathering everyone deep within the Satellite.
Yusei: Wait, you mean underground?
Crow: Things have gotten weird here, Yusei. Weirder than usual.
Yusei (think): Well then I'd better look into this!
(Opening)
ACT 1 <2:34>
(In the City, at the hotel Carly checked herself and Jack into, Jack stands at the wide-open window of his bedroom, looking at some magazine.)
Jack (think): Looks like I really *am* yesterday's news. It's amazing how quickly everyone turned on me because... (it hurts to say it) I lost!! I *lost*...!!
(Flashback.)
FB Yusei: I don't wanna hurt you, Jack, but if ending this duel is the only way home, then I gotta attack! Stardust Dragon, take out his lifepoints!
(Stardust attacks, and Archfiend and Jack are drowned in white, glimmering light.) <3:00>
FB Jack: Aaaaaagh...!
(Change Flashback to after the duel.)
FB Jack: You beat me...! I don't know how you did it, Yusei, but you're the champ now.
(Yusei looked back at him, worried but resolute.)
(End Flashback.)
Jack: How could I lose to 'im, *twice?!
(Out in the main room of the suite, Carly is in the middle of being reprimanded again by Mr. Pitts, via her laptop screen.)
Pitts: You're telling me you're *with* Jack Atlas right now, the same Jack Atlas that every other reporter is running around the City looking for, and that you haven't gotten an interview yet?! Not even a juicy soundbite or something?!
Carly: I've been waiting for the right moment--
Pitts: That interview is the one thing standing between you and a lifetime of making copies! Carly, no more chances-- get that interview or we're done!
(He hangs up.)
Carly: Ahh! Oh, Jack thinks I'm helping him, but if I tell him I'm just some wannabe reporter looking for a career boost, he'll leave! But then again, he doesn't have to know I'm interviewing him, it could just be a *conversation.*
(She tentatively knocks on Jack's door.)
Carly: Uh, hey do you wanna talk about...
(She opens the door; the window's wide-open, the magazine is sitting on the bed, and Jack's gone.)
Carly: J-Jack? Augh! <4:00> He snuck out the window!!!
(Jack is walking down the middle of the street below, all but invisible, once again wearing his big white duel coat one-armed. A tall tower can be seen in the distance.)
Jack (think): Unbelievable. Before yesterday, I'd have had one hundred people ask me for autographs, and today? Nothing.
(In Yusei's pals' subway tunnel hideout, a runner engine can be heard echoing down the tunnel.)
Blister: D'ya hear that?
(Blister and Rally are looking out of the shelter; Nervin joins them)
Rally: It sounds like a duel runner.
Nervin: Sector Security?
(Not even! We cut to Yusei and Crow, racing down the tunnel; Crow is at Yusei's right wing. Yusei is smiling. Rally sees who it is, and lights up)
Rally: Hah! Yusei!
(Yusei stops, Crow right behind him, and waves.)
Rally: You came back!
Nervin: Hey there, Yusei!
(Tank and Blitz poke their heads up through two windows in the back.)
Tank: Yusei?
Blitz: Seriously?!
(Yusei climbs off his runner and removes his helmet.)
Yusei: Did I miss anything?
(Rally runs over and hugs him around the waist, then looks up)
Rally: Hey! Haha! The craziest thing happened to us last week, Yusei, you won't *believe* it!
Yusei: Well now that I'm back here in the Satellite, I'm going to set things straight!
ACT 2 <4:47>
Yusei: Blister, thanks for helpin' me out with my friends.
Blister: No worries, Yusei.
(Crow joins them, pulling off his helmet.)
Crow: So, uh, is this an exclusive club, or can anyone join?
Blitz and Tank: Hey, Crow! <5:00>
Nervin: I didn't recognize you with the helmet and bike.
Crow: Yeah, Yusei's not the *only* turbo-charged duel runner in Satellite anymore. (grin) Right?
(Suddenly a voice over a loudspeaker.)
- This is Security. I.D. number A-W-X-seven-four-zero-nine-eight (AWX74098), give yourself up!
Crow (indicates his left cheek marker): Heh. And he's not the only one with a knack for ticking off Sector Security, either!
(A grenade soars down through the crack in the roof of the tunnel, and starts filling the tunnel with smoke.)
Rally: Huh!
Nervin: They're trying to smoke us out?!
Crow: We need to split up. Let's meet at the Daedalus Bridge in two hours; that's where my hideout is.
(Security guy on loudspeaker.)
- Come on, Crow, don't make this difficult. You can't escape this time!
(Crow comes flying out of the stairwell (not literally), high above the Security bus parked above the crack in the pavement, lands in front of it, and hairpin-turns, zooming away. One Security guy is rather shocked (Security Guy #2) and the other (Security Guy #1) is resolute)
Security Guy #1: There he goes! You won't be able to hide from our new pursuit box!
(The pursuit box is a little shuttle that detaches from the larger truck and zooms after Crow, with the two officers inside.)
Crow: Wow! They got new toys!
(Crow, unfazed, races down the street and banks left onto another empty street.)
Crow (pleased at the challenge): This thing's gonna be tough to shake.
Yusei: Need some help?
(Yusei, on his runner, is keeping pace on a parallel street, visible between the buildings. In a wide gap, he merges over to the street Crow's on, and rides beside him, grinning.)
Crow: What're *you* doin' here?!
Yusei: *Someone* has to babysit you, Crow! <6:00>
(Crow tosses back his head and laughs.)
Crow: Hahahahahahaha!
(In the pursuit box, some sort of console ID's Yusei from his runner and presents a bio)
Security Guy #1: Look!
Security Guy #2: That's Yusei Fudo! What's *he* doing back in the Satellite?!
Security Guy #1: Who cares! He's aiding and abetting a fugitive; let's get 'im.
Security Guy #2: Right!
(Both activate duel disks.)
Security Guy #1: They can't outrun our "Speed World" field spell! Activate it!
(Security Guy #2 presses a button on the screen.)
Computer: Overriding suspect's duel runner. Duel mode engaged. Autopilot engaged.
(The street around them turns violet, and both Yusei's and Crow's consoles and duel disks activate.)
Yusei: They can catch us both in the "Speed World" field at the same time?
Crow: It's been a little while since ya had Sector Security on your tail, hasn't it, buddy! S'like a tag-duel. Whaddayou say; are you up for this, or what?
Yusei: You betcha!
(Yusei and Crow, and the two officers together, each start with 4000 lifepoints.)
All Four: Let's duel!
(Carly stops running within view of the metro station and looks around.)
Carly: Where could he have gone? Ah...
(Just then, she glimpses Jack through the glass doors of the station, unmistakable from the way he wears his signature coat one-armed.)
(We shift to the scene inside, just as Jack tries to walk through a kiosk and is blocked.)
Jack: What's this?!
Kiosk computer: Please swipe metro pass.
Jack (utterly bewildered): What's a metro pass?
(He attracts the attention of a couple young women standing nearby.)
- Hey, isn't that Jack Atlas over there?
- It sure looks like him. <7:00>
- Hey, Jack, you can't just walk through. Don't you know how to ride the metro rail?
- Guess he's not used to technology. Maybe he *is* from the Satellite.
Jack: Huh?
(Carly runs in and gets between the ladies and Jack)
Carly: Uh, nono, nothing to see here! This isn't Jack, it's my cousin Ralph, he just looks like Jack, he's new here, so please don't--
Jack: Who's Ralph? Oh!
(Carly is dragging him out of there by the wrist.)
Carly: Come on, *Ralph*, time to go home!
(Outside, behind a pylon that supports the metro rail track, Carly has dragged Jack aside)
Carly: Are you bonkers? Don't you know the press is looking for you? If you get spotted, you're gonna get mobbed! And you haven't recovered yet! You need to go back to the hotel and lay low for a little while.
Jack: I can take care of myself! Now go away!
Carly: Grrr..
(Jack walks away, slipping off his sling and tossing it aside as he goes.)
Carly (think): If I lose Jack I lose my scoop! Come on, Carly, you can do this-- (aloud) I don't believe you! I saved you and I helped you, and now you're just gonna walk away?! That's how you show *gratitude? I understand you *now*, Jack Atlas!
(He stops and stares coldly over his shoulder at her)
Carly: You're just a spoiled, pampered jerk who doesn't even know how to get on a *metro rail* by himself!
Jack: Huh?
(Carly is waving her arms at the scattered passersby.)
Carly: Hey everybodyyy! Everybody look over here! Check it out! The--
(Jack yanks her behind the pylon, furious, gets in her face.)
Jack: Alright, I'll hang out with you if that's what you want! I'll play your little game-- <8:00> but I'll do it with dignity!
(Soon, Jack is disguised, with a snazzy grey jacket in lieu of his distinctive white blazer; thin black shades; and a navy blue hat. He looks kinda artsy. Carly is holding a striped shopping bag)
Carly: That outfit is *perfect!* *Nobody* will know it's you under there!
Jack: I look like a disco-tech reject; I feel absurd.
Carly: Boy, you are so high-strung; you need to just wind down and have some fun, Jack!
Jack (glares): I *hate* fun.
Carly (think): I've got to get him to open up to me! We need to go do something that *friends* would do together! Ah! Got it! (aloud, wheedling) Jack, you need--
(She starts talking to Jack; we don't hear much, because our focus shifts to Trudge and Mina as they peek out, lurking at a distance.)
Trudge: What are they *doing*?
Mina: I dunno, but, for some reason I don't trust her! Let's keep an eye on them to see if we can figure out what she's up to!
(On the end of the line, Carly strides away and Jack, clearly under protest, follows. Their destination: the amusement park.)
(Meanwhile, back in the Satellite, Yusei and Crow ride ahead of the pursuit box)
Security Guy #1: I've got the first move! And I summon out Gate Blocker in defense mode!
Crow: These Sector Security goons *always* start out with Gate Blocker!
Security Guy #1: Well how's *this* for some variety! I release Gate Blocker to summon Gate Blocker Two in defense mode!
[Gate Blocker 2 100/3000/L6/earth]
Computer: When the monster card Gate Blocker Two is faceup on the field, <9:00> your opponent cannot gain speed counters during their standby phase.
Security Guy #1: Next I place three cards facedown and end my turn!
Crow: 'S about *time* you guys got an upgrade! My move!
Security Guy #1: Hold up; I activate "Full Throttle"! With *this* in play, "Speed World" gives me one extra speed counter! And, with Gate Blocker Two's special ability in effect, there's no chance you'll *ever* escape!
(Crow looks over at his hand; Blackwing - Gale the Whirlwind, Level Retuner, Ebon Arrow, Blackwing - Bora the Spear, Speed Spell - The End of the Storm, and Speed Spell - Angel Baton)
Crow: I guess they're trying to stop us from using speed spells. Well, if these jokers didn't have *some* kinda skills, this wouldn't be fun!
Security Guy #1: Now I'm playing the trap card "Speed Edge"! During each standby phase, for every speed counter that I have and you don't, you'll take three hundred points of damage! And right now, the difference is two, so you're gonna take a six hundred point hit!
(Crow gets hit with the damage, a bolt of white light.)
Crow: Yah!
Yusei: Crow, are you okay!
Crow: It takes more than a little tickle to rattle *this* guy! And I'll prove it by summoning Blackwing - Bora the Spear in attack mode!
[Blackwing - Bora the Spear 1700///]
Crow: And you know what they say about birds of a feather flocking together; <10:00> well I can summon Blackwing - Gale the Whirlwind from my hand when I have another Blackwing monster on my field!
[Blackwing - Gale the Whirlwind 1300/400/L3/]
Crow: And once a turn, Gale the Whirlwind can slice your monster's attack and defense points in half!
Security Guy #1: Well then I guess I'll counter with "Defender's Mind"!
Computer: Defender's Mind is a trap card that switches all your monsters on the field to defense mode, and then doubles their defense points.
(That means Gate Blocker 2's defense points are now 3000.)
Security Guy #1: Let's see your bird-brained buffoons get past *this* defense! Better luck next time, Crow!
Yusei: They've got some strong defense set up, *and* they're dishing out direct damage by suppressing our speed counters! Any ideas?
Crow: Only one-- but if *it* doesn't work, we may need to book a room at the Facility tonight!
ACT 3 <10:35>
(The light of Speed World turns the streets of the Satellite an eerie purple. Yusei and crow swerve around a rock jutting up from the road.)
Security Guy #1: There's no escaping Sector Security, you Satellite rejects!
Crow: Time to start throwin' these guys off our tail-- and I know just the combo to make that happen! <11:00> I tune Blackwing - Gale the Whirlwind with Bora the Spear!
(Gale the Whirlwind collapses into a series of rings, and Bora soars through them as they align, every one of his black feathers turning to glowing golden outlines.)
Crow: Say hello to-- Blackwing Armor Master!
[Blackwing Armor Master 2500//]
Crow: Now attack-- with Black Hurricane!
Security Guy #1: Is this some kind of a joke? That flying oaf doesn't have enough attack points to break through Gate Blocker Two's defense! (Armor Master punches at Gate Blocker 2) And now *you're* the one who's gonna be taking some damage!
Crow: Not with Blackwing Armor Master's special ability about to kick in, Officer!
(As Armor Master pulls away, a large, wedgelike black shard or thorn can be seen stuck in Gate Blocker's façade.)
Crow: But until then I place two facedowns and end my turn!
Security Guy #1: And now your Whirlwind's special ability wears off, and the power of "Defender's Mind" kicks in!
(Gate Blocker 2's defense points rise to 6000.)
Security Guy #1: With six thousand defense points, I'd like to see ya *try* to take a run at Gate Blocker Two *now*, Crow!
Security Guy #2: It's my turn! Because of Full Throttle and Gate Blocker Two, the difference in our speed counters is four!
(The Security guys' speed counters rise to 4; Yusei and Crow's stay at 0.) <12:00>
Security Guy #2: Now my "Speed Edge" is gonna stop you in your tracks!
(Crow takes another hit, down to 2200)
Crow: Gah!
Security Guy #2: I summon Gate Defender in defense mode and end my turn.
[Gate Defender /2000//]
Yusei: Did you ever run into Officer Trudge? I dealt with this Gate Defender thing when I dueled him. It can negate one monster's attack once a turn.
Crow (thumbs-up): Don't worry; I've set this thing up for us. You just gotta knock it down!
(Carly and Jack go on a huge, fast, spiraling roller coaster; Carly is hysterical, but Jack isn't even fazed. Next ride, the same; Mina and Trudge, still tailing them, are at least as scared as Carly. Next, the amusement-park equivalent of the Tower of Terror; the big drop. Carly, Mina, and Trudge are screaming; Jack is stony. Bungee-jumping. Same. Jack flies through the air, arms folded, not even fazed. By the time they're done, Mina is about ready to throw up and Trudge is being carefully lowered off the bungee jump by a few attendants.)
- I-it's okay, sir... stop crying, sir... we've gotcha.
(Later on, Carly and Jack sit on opposite sides of a bench.)
Carly: That was great, we really bonded just now.
Jack: I've had a better time sitting and watching paint dry.
Carly (think): This isn't going well! How can I get 'im to open up to me about his loss of the championship?! <13:00>
Jack: I'm out of here. Consider your so-called *kindness* repaid.
(He's walking away.)
Carly: Uh, hey, hang on!
Jack (doesn't stop): What do you want from me?
- Hey, Jack! Jack Atlas!
(The speaker is a little kid who runs up to them. Jack stops.)
Carly (kindly): No, this isn't Jack Atlas, he just *looks like* Jack.
- I know it's him! I'm his biggest fan! My friends all say he's a loser 'cause he lost to some guy from the Satellite. But I know you can win back the championship! Right, Jack? You're gonna show 'em all!
Jack: That's nice. (pats the kid's head) But I'm *not* Jack Atlas.
(The kid is not rebuked.)
- See ya later, Jack! You're still the best turbo-duelist ever!
(We follow Jack to a large pool of water, a fountain of some kind.)
Jack (think): That little boy's friends have it all right. I *am* a loser. (Carly has followed, and watches, unnoticed) How could I lose that tournament?! (pounds the guard railing with his fist) I have to make this right; I have to find Yusei!
Carly: He's sad. (think) What can I do to cheer him up?
(She looks around, gets an idea, and runs off.)
Jack (think): I remember the roar of the crowd. (a crowd can be heard chanting "Jack! Jack! Jack!" under this line) It was music to my ears. (He watches the fountain shoot upward, lost in thought) That's all been washed away. <14:00> Nobody cheers for a has-been.
(Then, Jack thinks that he hears a familiar voice.)
Yusei: You're wrong, old friend.
(The fountain recedes and in the spray of the water, Jack glimpses Yusei, marked cheek and all, smiling at him.)
(Jack blinks, eyes widening, and the vision is gone.)
Jack (think): Yusei! (he is now standing there alone) I have to find you...!
(Meanwhile, Carly has bought two sodas from a refreshment stand.)
Carly (think): He's really upset about losing to Yusei. And here *I* am trying to get him to talk about it so I can score an article and kickstart my journalism career! Am I a horrible person?
Angela: Carly!
Carly: Huh? Ahh!
(Angela hurries up to her)
Carly: Hey, Angela.
Angela: I assume you're looking for Atlas, too? He was just spotted in the area, you know.
Carly: Jack?! He was?
Angela: I'm gonna find him before anyone else! And I'm gonna get him to admit that the rumors about him being from the Satellite Sector are true! I mean, they *obviously* are; *why else* would he have snuck out of the hospital when I first broke the story?
(Jack, unseen by Angela, walks up behind her at a distance. Carly sees Jack over Angela's shoulder.)
Carly: Maybe he's just upset because he lost the championship; maybe we should just leave him alone and let him deal with things.
Angela: What're you *talking* about?! You *do* want to be a real reporter, don't you? Reporters don't *leave* people alone; reporters follow their leads, and expose people for who they *really* are! (Meanwhile Carly is distracted by Jack, who is looking at her. Carly frantically shakes her head. Jack turns and walks away) <15:00> Reporters don't *care* about how someone is feeling; that's not the way it works. (gets in her face, oblivious but noticing that Carly isn't paying attention) Carly? Did you see some--
Carly (hands her the sodas and runs after Jack): Here, hold these. Thanks!
Angela: Wait a sec! Weirdo.
Carly (think): Gotta find Jack! I can't let those reporters tear 'im down! I *have to help him get through this!* (aloud) Where could he have gone?
(She catches her breath, and looks up. In the distance, a needle, perhaps the tallest tower in the City, is visible.)
Carly: That tower...!
(Flashback. The same tower is visible through Jack's window at the hotel. Change flashback, to how he tried to get on a metro rail with no pass.)
Carly (VO): We could see it from the hotel, and the metro rail Jack was trying to get on was going there!
Carly (think): That's *gotta* be it!
(Carly's eyes are visible through her glasses, determined.)
Yusei: My turn!
(The Security guys' speed counters increase to 6.)
Security Guy #1: Not so fast, satellite! I haven't triggered the power of my Speed Edge trap card yet! So get ready to be pulled over permanently!
(Yusei's lifepoints decrease from 2200 to 400.)
Crow: Hang in there, buddy!
Yusei: Will do! I summon Turbo Synchron!
Crow: And I activate the trap "Level Retuner"! And the power of this baby lowers Armor Master's level by one!
Security Guy #2: Why would Crow lower his own monster's level?!
Yusei: Turbo Synchron, time to give Blackwing Armor Master a tune-up! <16:00>
(Turbo Synchron glows, and turns into rings; Armor Master flies through them, turning into golden outlines, then shining stars. A column of bright green light explodes, and out of it appears--)
Yusei: Turbo Warrior, let's rev it up!
[Turbo Warrior 2500///]
Security Guy #1: Well, they may've summoned out a new monster to the field, but it won't help, 'cause it's still not strong enough to break through Gate Defender's defense! We got 'em right where we want 'em!
ACT 4 <16:26>
Security Guy #1: You can't escape the power of our Gate Defender, and once we win, you two are goin' straight to the Facility!
Yusei: Actually, with Turbo Warrior in play, your Gate Defender won't be defending anything! And because your Defender is only a level-four monster--
Crow: I'm activating the "Ebon Arrow" trap card, which lowers the attack points of Turbo Warrior by five hundred points! And as long as it's stronger than your Defender, the difference in their power is dealt to you as damage! And as a bonus, you take damage equal to the destroyed monster's *original* defense points!
Yusei: Now-- Turbo Warrior, attack!! <17:00>
Security Guy #2: Try all you want, Yusei; but you're attacking a monster with six thousand defense points!
Crow: You might wanna double-check your math, Officer.
Security Guy #2: Huh? Why'd it drop to zero?!
Security Guy #1: What just happened?!
Crow: When Blackwing Armor Master attacked your Gate Defender, it left a wedge counter behind, and that wedge wipes out all your precious Defender's attack and defense points!
Security Guy #1 and #2: *All* of 'em?!
Yusei: *All* of them!!
(Turbo Warrior hits Gate Blocker 2 and it shatters. Both officers gasp, and their lifepoints sink to 2000.)
Yusei: And now you take the damage from Ebon Arrow's effect!
(The card image fires an arrow that flies right into the pursuit box. The two officers cry out, and their lifepoints go to zero. All their monitors show X's)
Security Guy #1: He got away *again*!!
(Crow and Yusei fist-bump as they ride away.)
Yusei: We did it, Crow!
Crow: You've gotten a lot better since the old days!
Yusei: Ya think so?
Crow: By the way, didja hear about Jack? Some *reporter* found out he's really from the Satellite, and now he's gone off the grid!
Yusei: He *disappeared*?! <18:00>
Crow: So 're you still ticked off at him for what 'e did to you?
Yusei: ... Not anymore, no.
(Flashback. Jack watches from the dock while Yusei dives into the sea after Rally. Jack takes Stardust out of Yusei's deck, rides away down the trash tunnel.)
Yusei (VO): Jack did what he thought he had to do at the time.
Yusei: He thought if he didn't grab that opportunity he'd be stuck in the Satellite for the rest of his life. I can't blame him for makin' a choice when he didn't think he had one.
Crow: Wow, man; you're a bigger person than *I* am.
Yusei: ... I guess.
(They ride away down the street.)
(Sunset at the tower. Seagulls flap around the concrete base up from which the central shaft of the tower stabs into the sky. The whole thing is caged in turquoise-painted steel beams. Jack stands at the rail on the top observation platform, staring across the water into the sunset. Mina and Trudge watch from a distance.)
Mina (aside): He's been staring at the water for hours...
Trudge (aside): Maybe *now's* a good time to talk to 'im?
(Mina squares her shoulders and prepares to confront Jack, when they hear--)
Carly: Jack.
(Carly apparently had the exact same thought, and is approaching Jack.)
Carly: If... this was where you wanted to go, you coulda just said so.
(She stops a distance away.)
Carly (think): Wow. He seems worse than before! I wonder what he's looking at? (aloud, very hesitant) Can... you... see the Satellite... Sector from here?
Jack (he's been found out!!): Huh?!
Carly: Do ya miss it, Jack? <19:00> Do you wanna go back there or something? It's... all right, you can tell me.
Jack: Two years ago, I gave up everything I knew to come to the City from the Satellite.
(Flashback. Jack rides away from the waterfront on the white runner he stole from Yusei, and takes the trash tunnel to the city.)
Jack (VO): I betrayed my friend, the people I grew up with, I turned my back on everything I was.
Jack: And what did I gain? *Temporary greatness*. The admiration of fickle fans who love you when you're on top and hate you when you're not. In order to be the duelist I wanted to be, I lost sight of the duelist that I really am. I wanted to be the *greatest*... but I see now that I took the *easy* path. Now that it's too late... I know what I really stand for.
Carly: It's *not* too late, Jack. It's just, like, a-a do-over. You can use what you've learned and go forward. Think of it this way; old Jack lost in the battle against Yusei, and *new* Jack was reborn. You can do it again; <20:00> you can go back to the Satellite and right your wrongs. You can say sorry to your friends, and things can be like they were before.
(Flashback. A much younger Rally looks up from watching Yusei work on a white runner and runs up to the camera, overjoyed.)
FB Rally: Huh? Ah! Jack!
(Nervin, Blitz, and Tank are sitting nearby, and also greet him)
FB Nervin: Hey there, Jack!
FB Blitz: Buddy!
FB Tank: H-hey, pal!
(Yusei, jacket off, walks over, having left off work on the runner. This was back when he wasn't marked yet.)
FB Yusei: What's up!
(Yusei's fist still smutched with engine grease, the two go to bump fists; end Flashback before the fists touch.)
Jack: ...Y'know what? You're right. I *can* still do this. (takes off the shades) That's it; no more hiding. No more feeling sorry for myself! (throws the hat in the air) It's time to move on!
(Carly watches with dismay as the hat goes flying off over the sea)
Carly: Uh, Jack? Th-that was my hat.
Jack: Sorry about that. (turns, smiling) It's time for me to show the world who I really am!
Carly: Then you'll need this!
(She holds up the striped shopping bag she's been carrying this whole time; in a flourish, Jack has his duel blazer on once more.)
Jack: Write whatever you want about me.
Carly: Actually, I decided, I'm *not* gonna write the article. New Domino City'll just use it as an excuse to point their fingers at you. And, I don't wanna be part of that. <21:00> (think) Maybe we've *both* learned a bit more about who we really are...
Jack: Thank you, Carly.
(He walks past her, and away toward the building at the top of the tower.)
Carly: Hey, w-wait up! I'm coming with you!!
(Tableau; Jack striding away, Carly running after, and in the foreground the sunset reflected in the pair of shades left abandoned on the ground.)
