(Previously <2:00>)

(Opening)

ACT 1 <3:00>

(Ahead, the winding track is barely visible in the dark, as Kalin races onward in a stolen mine cart, pursued by two tag-team runners full of goons. He watches the track ahead, then glances down at Niko, West, and their dad, sitting in the bottom of the cart.)
Kalin: You're doing great, just stay down.
- Come on, boys!
(Kalin worriedly glances back at the runners chasing them. The guy in the sidecar of the leading runner speaks.)
- We gotta take this riffraff down and haul 'em back! If they escape the mountain, Mister Malcolm'll have our heads!
West: Leave us alone, you jerks!
Dad: Get down, son!
(Kalin goes for the brake bar and slows them down. The nearest runner is practically on top of them.)
- Round 'em up, boys!
Kalin: You wanna taste of the *Kalin special*?!
(As the runner rides up alongside them, Kalin punches the driver right in the face, knocking him off his seat. He almost smiles with satisfaction.)
Kalin: Round *that* up.
(The riderless runner, still with a guy in the sidecar, decelerates at a fairly controlled pace to roll alongside its counterpart. The guy from the other sidecar jumps over to become the new driver, and both runners get back on the chase. The remaining sidecar rider speaks.)
- Dagummit, these runaways are a real thorn in my side! ...Huh?
(Then he spots the metal collar around dad's neck.)
- Heheheh. Collar 'im!!
(The rider of the other runner draws and slaps down a card. Dad grips his collar, teeth clenched to stifle more than groans of pain.)
Kalin (think): They've activated his collar! I've gotta do something!
(Kalin moves to the back end of the cart, putting one foot up on the edge.)
Niko: Kalin, what're you doing! <4:00>
(Kalin pushes off and jumps from the back of the cart, delivering a flying kick to the rider who activated the collar, knocking him off the seat. Kalin lands on the runner with his hands on the seat and his legs sticking over the back of it. He pushes himself up and deactivates the collar with the runner's controls. After a moment, dad relaxes again, gasping for breath. Niko and West worry over him.)
Niko: You okay?
(Meanwhile Kalin has just managed to get himself to a sitting position on the runner, when--)
West: Behind you!
(Kalin looks back; the two guys on the other runner are coming up fast.)
- You wanna *dance*, punk? Come on!
(They ride up beside Kalin and ram him from the side. He skids over and scrapes along the wall on his shoulder. West and Niko watch anxiously from the cart.)
West: Stay on, Kalin!
Niko: Don't fall!
Kalin: Rrrrrrrgggghhhh...!!
West: Kalin...!
(The mine cart is outrunning him, disappearing into the dark. Then, between the thugs' runner and the wall, Kalin's runner flips over and goes flying-- and Kalin is propelled forward and almost manages to grab the edge of the mine cart; Niko grabs his hand with both of hers. Kalin looks up at her, amazed.)
Kalin: Niko...!
(Kalin's now being pulled along behind the cart like a kite on a string. West pulls on the cart brake with all his might.)
West: Rrrrghhhh...!

(The remaining runner donuts down the tunnel, losing momentum as it spins out. The sidecar rider says impatiently--)
- Can't you drive?! They're gettin' away!
(They right themselves, and roar after the cart.)

(Niko is barely hanging onto Kalin's hand as West hauls on the brakes.)
NIko: Hold on!

ACT 2 <4:38>

(Niko strains, and nearly loses her grip on Kalin's hand. West looks back, concerned, and hurries to help her.)
West: Niko, hang on!
(West grabs ahold of Niko around the waist, keeping her from falling out, and they pull together.)
Kalin: I'll be fine, Niko! Just let go!
Niko: No way! I'm not letting go! We're getting out together!
Kalin: It's okay...!
Niko: No, it's *not* okay! <5:00> You saved my dad! Now let me save *you*!
(Kalin pauses a moment, then reaches up and grabs her wrist with his other hand. Dad joins in, and he and Niko pull Kalin back into the cart. Kalin hits the floor of the cart, gasping for breath. West, Niko, and their dad anxiously lean over him.)
Niko: You're okay.
West: Deep breaths!
Dad: Can ya stand?
Kalin (stands): Nice work.
(Niko smiles at the praise.)
West: You good to go?
(Kalin's whole face softens as he smiles, and nods once, before looking to their dad.)
Kalin: You saved my life.
Dad: You saved *mine*; I'm free because of you.
Kalin: That's *not true*. First of all we're not free yet, and second of all, you're in this mine because of people like *me*.
Dad: I'm not here because of you.
(Kalin gasps, truly startled by that statement.)
Kalin: What do you mean?
(West and Niko's dad closes his eyes, and remembers...)

(Flashback. The sky is bright blue above the cow-skull sign that marks the entrance to Crash Town.)
Dad (VO): It's my own fault. Nothing I did ever went right, and I couldn't make ends meet.
(He stands just inside the gate, Niko and West on either side of him. They look about the same ages as they are now, though Niko's dress looks much newer than it is today. Their dad looks much younger than the present, because he is far less worn. The newest hotshot in Crash Town wears a local duel disk on his hip and sturdy, comfortable pants, shirt, and vest; he wears the blue pendant around his neck.)
Dad (VO): So I came to Crash Town looking for an easy way out.

(Change Flashback.)
FB Dad: Happy trails!
(A dusk duel is just ending; dad slaps a card down on his duel disk, and the air in front of his opponent in a red bandanna explodes. Dad's Cyber Commander fades from the field. West and Niko run up and hug him, laughing and cheering.)
FB Niko: All right!
FB West: You won!!
(He kneels and West jumps into his arms.) <6:00>
Dad (VO): Finally, I was getting to show my little ones that their dad could *do* something with himself! That I could *be* somebody, and take care of us! All my life I'd never reached my true potential-- but things were finally turning around! But that didn't last forever...

(Change Flashback. He hits the ground hard on his back, and his lifepoints fall to zero. He cringes and starts to sit up, and sees a dark figure looming over him-- the man who loads duelists into coffins when they lose. He reaches for dad with a black-gloved hand, blocking out the light of the sun. Dad can only stare up at him in despair and terror.)
FB Dad: Don't do it, *please*! Give me another chance--!
(And the cart rolls off to the mines, a single coffin loaded on the back. West and Niko run after the cart as it rolls out of town.)
FB West: Daddy!
FB NIko: Come back with him!
(End Flashback.)

Dad: I knew the deal when I signed up. I was a desperate man, Kalin. A desperate man who felt like he had nothing to lose. In fact-- part of me thinks I *wanted* to end up down here.
Kalin (gasp): But what about your kids?
(Dad smiles down at West and Niko, both listening anxiously to the story.)
Dad: A man can get so blinded by self pity, he forgets that he's got something worth living for. I think a lot of men who come here are like that; they've lost their will to fight on, and they come here ready to lose. But not you. You've still got some fight in you. <7:00> You're *still strong*.
(Kalin is listening, stunned.)
Dad: Even in this dark place you see light! I *know* you do! And by risking your hide to help me and mine, you've *shown* me that light-- I see it now too!
Kalin: Huh..?

(Yusei and Lotten race on through the dark tunnels of the mountain.)
Lotten: Eheheheh...
(Lotten waits ready with his Gatling Ogre, while Yusei's monster on the field is Turret Warrior.)
Lotten: Here we go; it's *my turn* now!
(Scoreboard. Lotten, 1000, 4. Yusei, 800, 4.)
Yusei (think): I've got four speed counters. Safety's off now; and not only that, he's got Gatling Ogre on his field. If he's drawn either a trap or a speed spell... I'm done-for.
(Lotten savors the moment, his drawn card held out to the side.)
Lotten: Heheheheheheheh...
(Lotten glances at his card.)
Yusei (think): *What does he have*?!
Lotten: You *sure* lucked out this time. But now I can release my Gatling Ogre, and summon Big Cannon Ogre in his place!
Yusei: What? You're ditching Gatling Ogre? So you had a backup plan?!
Lotten: That's right-- the story's got *multiple endings*, but I'm afraid each an' every one of 'em's *bad for you*! <8:00>
[Big Cannon Ogre 2400/2400/L7/fire]
Computer: Big Cannon Ogre is a level-seven fiend-type monster, with twenty-four hundred attack points and twenty-four hundred defense points.
Yusei: So what's *this* big guy all about?
Lotten: This here is *Big Cannon Ogre*, my friend; and he's all about being two tons of guts 'n' glory, and bringing a relentless barrage of destruction and mayhem everywhere he goes!
Yusei: Sounds impressive on paper; but he *still* doesn't have more attack points than my Turret Warrior.
Lotten: That doesn't matter in this case. Do it, Big Cannon Ogre! Attack that Turret Warrior!
Yusei: My warrior...!
Lotten: I activate the effect of "Skill Successor" from within my graveyard. When I remove this card entirely from play, I can increase the attack points of one monster on my field by eight hundred until the end phase!
(That's 3200 attack points.)
Lotten: Now, Big Cannon Ogre's ballistic barrage can shatter your monster's defenses! Go, Big Cannonfire! <9:00>
(Big Cannon Ogre fires, and the shell punches a hole right through Turret Warrior, which spouts greenish-black smoke then explodes.)
Yusei: Hnnngghh... Whoa! Whoa, what gives?!
(Another large shell is descending on him, above the smoke. It hits, and another explosion of smoke shrouds Yusei completely.)
Lotten: Thanks to Big Cannon Ogre's special ability, the battle damage you take is *doubled*, *that's* what gives!
(Yusei rides out of the smoke; he's down to 400 lifepoints now.)
Lotten: Now that we're in the end phase, Big Cannon Ogre's attack points return back to normal. Looks like it's *your* move.
Yusei (think): I managed to hang on-- but if I don't turn this thing around, then I'm *never* getting out of this mine!
(Yusei looks back at the Big Cannon Ogre looming behind him, then ahead at the twisting, winding tunnels, barely visible even in his bright headlights.)
Yusei (think): I can do this. I just have to speed things up a little!

ACT 3 <9:34>

(Kalin brakes to moderate the cart's steep downhill speed. They zoom out of the incline, over a small rise, and into more dark tunnels. Niko, West, and their dad huddle together in the bottom of the cart, happily reunited. Then Kalin hears a voice from behind them.)
- Faster!
(The two goons on the runner have managed to catch up to them again.)
Kalin: *Man*. <10:00> These guys don't know when to quit!
(Dad rises up to look around. Forward, back, then ahead again at the track; coming up, it forks into two caverns.)
Dad: I worked here! If we break right at the fork up ahead, we can get to the outside!
Kalin: Are you sure?
(He looks behind; the runner is gaining on them.)
Kalin (think): If we can elude those guards until then!

(The guy in the runner's sidecar speaks.)
- They gotta be kiddin' us! Surely they don't think it'll be *that* easy, let's see here... I press this, then that, then *bam*...!
(He manipulates the number keypad on a remote control: 1-0-8, then a key with a left arrow.)

(The lever beside the fork that switches its path has an electronic panel on it that reads 108; the light on it switches over to the left, and the lever moves itself over to the left, remotely controlled. The track switches.)
Kalin: They're diverting the track! Know where the left one goes?!
Dad: Nowhere *we* wanna be!
(The left-hand fork leads them out into a large cavern, dimly lit; the cold stone gives the lighting there is a bluish tinge. The track continues downward out of sight in a spiral around the outer wall of the wide, cylindrical chasm. The sidecar rider speaks.)
- Well, *this* oughta be pretty entertaining.

(Niko and West have now also stood up in the cart, and West notices, across the cavern--)
West: Huh--?! Look-- the track is *broken* down there!
(The track has been damaged, leaving a substantial gap right after a fork whose other side leads off into a smaller tunnel.)
Kalin: *No...!* ..Ah!
(He notices next that there's a lever, just like the first one, placed beside the fork.)
Kalin: If only we could change the track at that juncture!
Dad (think): If I could get down there, break the control console, and then switch the track manually... hm.
(He picks up a rock from the bottom of the cart <11:00> and stuffs it down the front of his jumpsuit, pushing Kalin a bit to the side so he can reach the side of the cart.)
West: Daddy?
Niko: You have a plan?
Dad: Kalin, listen. No matter what happens, I beg of you-- make sure my kids get outta here.
(Kalin gasps; Niko whimpers.)
Kalin *What are you talking about*?!
Dad: You kids listen to me. Kalin is going to get you outta here; you do what he says.
(West and Niko moan slightly, worried.)
Kalin: Stop *talking like that*, we are *all gonna get outta here*, together!
Dad: Well right now all that matters is you getting my kids out! There's no other way.
(He looks down; they're approaching the section of track directly above the broken portion and the crucial juncture.)
West (overlapping): Don't do it! Don't do it, dad--!!
Niko: Daddy, please-- Noooo!!
(Despite their pleading, he jumps.)

Dad: Aaaaaahh!
(He catches himself by the lever of the juncture, hanging over the edge by it. He lets go of his grip with one hand, and hangs on by the other, groaning with effort.)

(Kalin, West, and Niko watch anxiously.)
West: He made it...!
Niko: Daddy...!

(The runner's sidecar rider still has his remote.)
- What is that fool *doin'*?!
(He presses a button on the remote...

(And the light on the side of the juncture turns red, locked. Grimacing with effort, West and Niko's dad reaches into his jumpsuit and gets the rock he brought, smashing it against the console, again and again. The lights start to spark with electricity, until one final smash darkens them.) <12:00>

(The sidecar rider's remote goes blank.)
- What in tarnation?! Ah...!

(Dad pulls himself up, pushing the lever he's hanging from. He can barely reach far enough, can barely move it. But the track begins to change.)
Dad: Aaaaaaaggghhh...!

(Back to the sidecar rider.)
- He's switchin' the tracks! Collar 'im!
(The driver swiftly plays a card.)

(Dad's arm that was pushing him up leaves the ledge to grip his collar, and he loses ground as the lever slides back down with the force of his weight. The track begins to shift back.)

West: Hang on!

(Sweat breaking out on his face, dad lets go of his collar and strains back upward, pushing with everything he's got. At last the lever reaches the other side of the panel, and he slumps over it, halfway up onto the ledge. The track clicks into place. He moans and grips his collar in pain, and loses his grip on the lever panel; he just barely manages to grip the edge of the platform with one hand. He moans, but looks up; the mine cart is approaching.)
West: Climb up!
Niko: Hop in!
Dad: Keep going! Don't slow down! *Get outta here*!
West and Niko: Ah...!
(Dad smiles wearily; Kalin gasps, seeing something in that smile. Dad grips the edge of the panel harder.)
West and Niko: Daddy, no!!
Dad: I'll find you! Keep going!
(And the mine cart zooms past into the side tunnel. West and Niko are sobbing, and Kalin looks absolutely thunderstruck.)

(The runner doesn't even slow down, and follows them into the tunnel. The sidecar rider speaks as they ride out into a lit cavern.)
- We can't let 'em leave this mountain! C'mon, we'll--
(Kalin comes out of nowhere and punches the driver off his seat, having waited to ambush them.)
Kalin: We need to borrow your vehicle, if that's all right!! <13:00>
(The driverless runner careens into a nearby rock wall, and the sidecar rider falls out.)
Kalin: Thanks!
(Before the two riders know what hit them, Kalin's riding away, with Niko riding behind and clinging to his waist and West in the sidecar. They ride into another tunnel, the kids still sobbing a bit.)
Kalin: Knock it *off*! Your father doesn't want you to sit here and cry like babies! He wants you to be fierce and brave and angry and full of spirit and-- um--
(The two kids are still sobbing; tears show at the corners of Niko's eyes.)
Kalin: I'm so sorry, you guys, I-- I didn't mean to shout at you like that.
(West looks up at him, tears still in his eyes.)
Kalin: Your dad's gonna be okay. He'll find a way out; you heard him.
Niko: You think so?
Kalin: You believe in him, don't you?
West: Yeah.
Niko: Yeah.
Kalin: And so do I!
(They roar onward through the tunnels.)

Yusei: It's my turn!
(Draw. Scoreboard; Lotten, 1000, 5; Yusei, 400, 5. Yusei flips his card-- "Speed Spell - Fallen Synchron".)
Yusei (mutters): *Got it*!!
(Lotten gasps; that doesn't sound good.)
Yusei: All right, I'm thinkin' it's about time that I *rev things up*! From my hand I'm activating the Fallen Synchron speed spell! <14:00>
Lotten: *What?*
Yusei: I can activate this speed spell when I have five or more speed counters! It allows me to summon one synchro monster by taking the monsters required to synchro-summon it from my graveyard and removing them from play! Both my level-one Sonic Chick and my level-five Quickdraw Synchron are in my graveyard; so I remove them from play.
(A synchro-summon begins. L1 + L5 = L6.)
Yusei: And now-- I synchro-summon, Drill Warrior!
[Drill Warrior 2400//L6/]
(They race onward into a dimly-lit cavern of reddish stone.)
Yusei: Next I activate Drill Warrior's special ability. By cutting its attack points in half, Drill Warrior can attack you directly!
Lotten: Whoa, say that again?!
(Yusei goes into a sideways shred.)
Yusei. Don't worry, you heard me correctly! Go, Drill Warrior! Attack!
Lotten: From my graveyard, I activate the "Explosive Wall" trap! Huh! This powerful little beauty'll get rid of *everything*, removing your attacking monster and every single card on my field, *permanently* from play!
Kalin: Anybody mind if I *cut in*? <15:00>
(Lotten turns; Kalin, Niko, and West on the stolen sidecar runner are riding alongside the duel on a ledge above.)
Yusei: *Kalin*?!
Kalin: Hang on tight, you two!
(Next, with a shout of effort, Kalin jumps the runner over the side of the ledge--)
Lotten: Ah?!
(Kalin's stolen runner bounces on the top panel of Lotten's giant runner, throwing Lotten off balance and slamming him into the wall. Kalin, Niko, and West land on the path where Lotten was, and follow Yusei into the next tunnel, pulling even.)
Yusei: Kalin, you made it!
(Kalin smiles, and Yusei returns it, then notices, up ahead, a point of light--)
Yusei: There's the exit! Let's go!
(Lotten has recovered and is racing up behind them.)
Lotten: You punks! *Nobody* escapes *this* mountain! Huah!
Yusei: Heads up!
Kalin, West, Niko: Ah?!
(Lotten's runner has extended the stilts on its legs, allowing Lotten to pass right over them, his wheels rolling inbetween the smaller runners, to now be riding in front of them, blocking the exit.)
Lotten: Hmhmhmhm. I activate "Explosive Wall"! You wanna get outta here? Let me help you.
(He's holding a bundle of dynamite with the fuses connected to a timer.)
Lotten: This way you can *really* go out with a bang!
(He taps a button, putting four hundredths of a second on the timer, and tosses it over his shoulder at them.)
Yusei: Look out!! <16:00>
(The dynamite lands on the tunnel floor in front of them, then BOOM!!!)

(BOOM!!! The side of the mountain explodes, bright against the early dawn. The air fills with smoke. Kalin, Niko, and West are flung out one side of the cloud, thrown free of the stolen runner. Yusei and his runner go flying a different direction. Lotten, still on his runner, emerges from the cloud laughing despite being flung high into the air. Within the smoke cloud, Big Cannon Ogre and Drill Warrior vanish.)

(Kalin is falling through the air, barely conscious. He wakes with a start when he hears--)
Niko: Kalin--!!!
(Niko reaches a hand toward him, terrified. He turns over in midair to reach for her hand.)
Kalin: Grab my hand!
(They almost reach, but the wind is pulling them further apart.)
Niko: Kalin! Nooo!!!
Kalin: Niko-o-o!!
(As he falls, eyes closed, West still grips his father's pendant. He groans slightly as his grip loosens, and the pendant flies free...)

(Yusei's runner bounces on the hard lip of a stone canyon below and falls over the edge. Making more noise, Yusei himself does much the same.)
Yusei: Whoaaaa- oh! Unh!
(And Kalin is the next to tumble into the canyon, bouncing on the rim.)
Kalin: Nnnggggghhh- uh! Unnnh...!
(And the pendant falls in after them.)

ACT 4 <16:37>

(Niko and West lie sprawled on the lip of the canyon, groaning. Over the horizon, straight out of the sun, walks Lotten. He carefully favors his right arm and his left wears a sheath of ripped-off plastic-- probably from his runner-- but he is still chuckling evilly. He looks to the side, over the edge of the canyon.)
Lotten: Those two meddling blockheads are as good as gone! <17:00> Heheheheheheheh!
(He approaches the kids, lying prone on the rock, their breath hoarse and groaned with pain.)

(Lotten returns to town, Niko and West each tied up and tied to one of the arms of his runner. The two are still not quite awake, eyes closed, breathing painfully. Malcolm, also, is not quite awake; he moans grumpily and wakes up.)
Malcolm: Did I fall asleep? Huh?!
(He's just realized that he's tied to a chair.)
Malcolm: Hey, what's this?!
Barb: We tied you up while you were *snoring away*.
(Lotten is sitting across the table, Barb standing at his shoulder. Both of them snicker. Malcolm is entirely lost, but is just realizing he's been had; you almost have to feel sorry for the guy. He's too wounded to be angry.)
Malcolm: And why didja do that?
(Barb shows him a piece of paper.)
Barb: Remember last night when you signed the deed of the town over to me? Well I *may have forgotten to mention* that I was *married* to your brother.
Malcolm: Wha- what're you talkin' about? You're married to *Lotten*--?!
Lotten: She sure is. So whatever belongs to *Barbara*--
(She giggles and sits in his lap, handing him the deed.)
Lotten: Well, it belongs to me as well.
(Now Malcolm's starting to get angry.)
Malcolm: You betrayed me...!! How *dare* you! Agh!
(Barb just kicked over the table, which in turn knocked over Malcolm's chair.)
Lotten: You're talkin' to the new king and queen a' *Lottentown*, brother!
(They both laugh.)
Malcolm: You two think you can get away with this?!
Lotten: Just ask *them*. <18:00>
(About fifteen or twenty goons in red bandannas are standing over Malcolm, each one with a duel disk activated on their arm. This does not look good for Malcolm...)

(At the bottom of the ravine, Yusei and Kalin are just barely starting to recover from the fall, lying prone on the ground shaking. Kalin pushes himself up on his hands, and Yusei does the same, gritting his teeth with pain.)
Kalin: I'm no good to anyone.
(Yusei looks at Kalin, surprised. Kalin crouches on his hands and knees, shaking with more than just pain. He stifles a sob.)
Kalin: I break everything I touch. Their father put his trust in me, and I-- just-- I let him down. I let everyone *down*...!
(Yusei takes off his helmet and throws it aside, standing up.)
Yusei: Don't be so hard on yourself. You did everything you could for those kids.
Kalin: But my everything-- it *wasn't enough*, Yusei! Huh?
(He's just noticed something sparkling in the dirt nearby. It's the pendant.)

(Yusei and Kalin, having pulled themselves out of the canyon, now stand atop the same ledge they did before-- overlooking the field of discarded duel disks stuck into the ground with spikes. Both are silent for a long moment. <19:00>)
Kalin: Well, here we are again.
(Kalin walks over to the nearest spike, and looks at the pendant one last time, before hanging it gently over the top of the spike. He kneels and stares at it, mourning. Yusei walks over and stands by him.)
Kalin: I'm so sorry. I failed! If only I'd tried harder! I guess Malcolm and his gang have won the fight...!
(Kalin is startled out of his sorrow by a whirring sound. A light on the side of the duel disk has lit up, shimmering with color; the duel disk's holoprojector just activated.)
Yusei: Kalin, look at that! Looks like that duel disk still has power!
Kalin: It's a sign. I *can't* give up here. It's time for me to stand up and duel for what's right!
(He smiles, pulling the pendant off the stake then placing his arm inside the band of the duel disk, snapping it off the stake and raising it high.)
Kalin: I will fight for those who have lost their freedom! <20:00> And as for those who take advantage of the lost and the desperate, I will show them that justice has a name and a face!!
Yusei: Kalin-- whatever you're thinking, I've got your back.
(Kalin lowers the duel disk, looks over his shoulder at Yusei, and nods. The sun is rising over this lonely field of duel disks, dispelling the ghostly mist of predawn. Yusei steps forward to stand beside Kalin, facing into the sunlight.)
Kalin: Bad news, Lotten-- there's a *new* sheriff in town. Let's go save those kids!
