Original Air Date: March 5, 2011
(Previously, duration <2:39>)
(Opening)
ACT 1 <3:40>
(Bolton zooms around a curve, Crow tailing closely, as the duel continues on Bolton's duel runner test course.)
Bolton: Come at me, Crow! Let's see what you got!
Crow: I got *plenty*. (draw)
(Scoreboard. Bolton, 4000, 3; Crow, 3100, 3.)
Crow (think): The question is, can I *use* any of it? After all, I can't play *any* of my Blackwings' special abilities so long as that "White Out" trap is sittin' on the field. It's clear what I've gotta do-- get rid a' White Out with a trap a' my own! <4:00> (aloud) I place one facedown! And then, I'll summon the tuner, Blackwing - Mistral the Silver Shield, in defense mode.
[Blackwing - Mistral the Silver Shield /1800/L2/]
Crow: And that's my turn!
Bolton: Then it's *my* move!
(Scoreboard. Bolton, 4000, 4; Crow, 3100, 4.)
Bolton: And with it I'll summon the tuner monster White Warrior - Snow the Rope Dart!
[White Warrior - Snow the Rope Dart 0//L4/]
Bolton: And for every card on the field, Rope Dart *ropes in* one hundred additional attack points. So since there are *seven*, he powers up by seven hundred! Now, Snow the Rope Dart, attack Crow's lifepoints directly! Go!
(Crow grits his teeth; his lifepoints sink to 2400.)
Yusei: Crow!
Bolton: Now since the direct attack was successful, I can use the ability of Fog the Treasure Shield (sic), and destroy one spell or trap card on your field! Do your thing, Treasure Shield (sic)!
(Treasured Shield blows away Crow's facedown.) <5:00>
Crow: Nuts! My "Trap Stun" card is kaput!
Bolton: *Don't* tell me you didn't think I knew what you were planning, Crow; I know your duel strategies *all too well*!
Yusei: Crow's gotta mix it up more, especially since he's dueling an old friend!
Bolton: *You're up*, Crow.
Crow: Here *goes*! (draw)
(Scoreboard. Bolton, 4000, 5; Crow, 2400, 5)
(And the two runners race onward around another sharp turn.)
Crow: I summon Blackwing - Shura the Blue Flame!
[Blackwing - Shura the Blue Flame 1800//L4/]
Crow: Now, level-two Mistral the Silver Shield tunes with level-four Shura the Blue Flame.
(L2 + L4 = L6. Mistral's two stars rotate around Shura and its four stars-- a burst of bright green light--)
Crow: Go and let your wings give flight to a new and even *mightier* bird of prey! I summon out, Blackwing Armor Master!
[Blackwing Armor Master 2300//L6/]
Jack: Yes! A synchro monster is just what Crow needs!
Bolton: Heheheheh...
Crow: Blackwing Armor Master now attacks Snow the Rope Dart!
Bolton: I play Rope Dart's ability! It lets me return 'im to my hand whenever he's the target of an attack!
Crow: All right; then I'll just attack Treasure Shield. <6:00> And when Blackwing Armor Master attacks a monster in defense mode, he gains *five hundred attack points*!
(Blackwing Armor Master shoots down Treasure Shield.)
Crow: *And* since Armor Master's attack points were more than your monster's defense points, you now take the difference as damage!
Jack: Bolton's tuner monster escaped harm, but at least Crow took out *something*.
Yusei: Right, because since "Sacred Arrow" is still on the field, come this turn's end phase, Bolton will now take an extra four hundred points of damage.
Crow: I place one card facedown and end my turn.
(Bolton's Sacred Arrow spell activates, and a single shining arrow zooms straight down from the heavens and strikes Bolton; he's down to 2800.)
Crow: Sorry, Bolton; you're a friend, but I just gotta win this duel!
(Flashback. By now this image is familiar; a rectangular building sits on a plain of barren ground, turning the sky an ominous violet with violent fuchsia flames; the roof is completely afire, and the flames are beginning to escape also through the windows and doors.)
Crow (VO): I *gotta* find out what happened to Pearson!
(End Flashback.)
Crow (think): And nothin's gonna stop me!
ACT 2 <6:52>
Bolton: *My* move-- and it'll be one to remember! So get ready, old friend! Here we go! (draw) <7:00>
(Scoreboard. Bolton, 2800, 6; Crow, 2400, 6)
Bolton: Once again, I summon to the field White Warrior - Snow the Rope Dart, in attack mode!
[White Warrior - Snow the Rope Dart 0//L4/]
Bolton: And next, I'll tune level-four Snow the Rope Dart, with level-four Hail the Iron Hammer!
(Snow's four stars soar high above the dueling track, and Hail rises to meet them. L4 + L4 = L8.)
Bolton: Now, the power coursing through the veins of these two warriors will become one! I summon forth, the synchro monster-- Crimson Mefist!
[Crimson Mefist 2800//L8/]
(It appears with a small dust devil of green light and a spooky crash of lightning. Suddenly the partially cloudy sky seems a bit darker.)
Crow: Wait-- Crimson Mefist--?!
Yusei: *Bolton* owns that card...?
Jack: Well *this* sure complicates things.
(At last Crow is face-to-creepy-face with the monster that was Pearson's downfall; Crimson Mefist watches him with bulbous little eyes over a long, beaklike nose, smiling a sort of grimace that reveals more than a few pointy teeth. His skin is a pale, sickly greenish, and triangular ears poke through his grey hair above his tall, black collar and below his pointy, wide-brimmed black hat. He looks like the kind of spooky puppet you might put up on your porch for Halloween, come to life.)
Crow: Bolton! Why *d'you* have this card?! ...No way! *You're* the one who was dueling Pearson that night?!
(Bolton peers over his shoulder toward Crow. His guilty silence is answer enough. Crow is heartbroken, and it shows in his voice.)
Crow: But *why*? You were his *friend*! He was someone you *admired*! Why'd you *do* it?!
Bolton: Why else? So I could manufacture duel runners!
Crow: Duel runners...?!
Bolton: That's right; <8:00> at first the plan was for *all of us* to come work *together*...
(Flashback. The interior of the run-down building Pearson and his friends turned into a duel runner workshop was quiet and dark, the only light coming from outside through the large side-door. The whole warehouse is cluttered with machinery and metal barrels, including, probably, plenty left over from before the place became a runner garage.)
Bolton (VO): *You* remember. You were part of it. But what you may *not* have known, is that one day, a wealthy entrepreneur from the city offered to *invest* in our little business.
(As Bolton speaks, five men in business suits appear in the doorway and enter the dark shop. One of them offers a briefcase full of neatly stacked cash. End Flashback.)
Crow: What?! I never heard anything about this!
Bolton: That's right--
(Flashback. Pearson's arm pushes the briefcase of money away.)
Bolton (VO): Because Pearson *refused*!
(End Flashback.)
(Crow gasps.)
(Flashback again to the same moment; a white-suited businessman offers the suitcase with four men in dark suits at his back. Pearson gently nudges the suitcase away with the back of one hand, turning back to the laptop on the table in front of him; and Bolton stands at his shoulder, surprised and upset, mouth open as though to demand how Pearson could destroy them by refusing such an offer.)
Bolton (VO): He didn't want to sell off the rights to his designs. His dream was to make duel runners for people like us.
(On Pearson's laptop screen is a design schematic for a duel runner. The five businessmen leave the dark warehouse, leaving Pearson working on his laptop and Bolton standing in the middle of the room looking devastated.)
Bolton (VO): He was afraid these suits would only be interested in making a buck.
(End Flashback.)
Bolton: It was an *amazing opportunity*! And it was completely *squandered* because of Pearson and his *stupid principles*! Which is why--
(Flashback. Bolton removes a large memory drive from the side of Pearson's laptop.)
FB Pearson: Bolton...?
(Bolton slowly backs away from the laptop holding the memory drive, in an act of rebellion.)
FB Bolton: Sorry. But I'm taking the duel runner blueprints. If you wanna *stop* me, then you'll have to do so by *dueling* me.
(Bolton slots his deck and activates his Battle City model duel disk, facing Pearson, who hasn't moved, across the warehouse. End Flashback.)
Bolton: As you *know*, he *didn't* stop me! I won and was able to take the money and start the company, unimpeded by Pearson! <9:00> Sure, maybe I had to make a couple of sacrifices along the way, but so what! The bottom line is that I was finally in business!
Crow: Rrghh...!
Bolton: And you'd better believe I'm going to protect that business no matter *what* I have to do! That's why-- I want you to give me that Black-Wing' Dragon (sic) and give it to me *now*! *Enough* with all your denials! I *know* you have it! I know *Pearson* *gave it to you*!
(Crow doesn't respond.)
Bolton: I've explained why I did what I did, so give me the card! *Now*!!
(Crow's helmet shadows his eyes.)
Crow: Yeah, you explained it. (looks up) *But that don't make it right, because a' you Pearson is *gone*!!!*
Bolton: Very well, then, Crow. I'll just have to *take* the Black-Wing' Dragon (sic) by defeating you in this duel. *Even if it means I must send you away, just like I did Pearson!!* I activate Crimson Mefist's ability! Now, once per turn, for every card you have on your field, you take three hundred points of damage!
Crow: What?!
(Crimson Mefist blasts Crow.)
Yusei: Oh, no!
(Crow rides out of the explosion, trailing smoke for a few feet. His lifepoints are down to 1800.) <10:00>
Bolton: Next, Crimson Mefist will attack Blackwing Armor Master with Rancid Rush!
(Armor Master gets melted with a blob of nasty acid glop. Crow's runner shakes, and Crow desperately hangs on. Now his lifepoints read 1300.)
Jack: What's this?!
Yusei: No way-- the damage Crow's taking looks like it's *real*!
Crow: So then it's true-- that card *does* inflict actual damage. And I bet it also sent Pearson to the netherworld!
(Crimson Mefist smirks back at him.)
Jack: Then the stakes couldn't be higher.
Bolton: And now, since it's this turn's end phase, Sacred Arrow's effect activates!
(Another heavenly arrow strikes Crow, reducing his lifepoints further to 900.)
Bolton: Well, Crow? Have you reconsidered? *Give me the card!* Things don't need to end the same way for you as they did for Pearson!
Crow: No way, Bolton! I'm in this thing 'til the very end! *I'm in this for Pearson!!*
(As Crow rides onward, tableau; around him, his younger self and several other kids happily gather around Pearson as he tinkers on a machine. Crow stands as the last defender of those happy memories.)
ACT 3 <10:50>
Crow: It's *my* turn.
(Scoreboard. Bolton, 2800, 7; Crow, 900, 7.)
Crow: And I activate the effect of Speed World Two! Go!
(Crow drops seven speed counters, leaving him with zero. He sharply decelerates, falling behind Bolton by several feet.)
Crow: Now, by removin' seven speed counters, <11:00> I'm allowed to draw one card from my deck!
(His card is Blackwing - Jetstream the Blue Sky.)
Crow: Yess...! I summon the tuner monster Blackwing - Kochi the Daybreak in defense mode!
[Blackwing - Kochi the Daybreak 1500/700/L4/]
Crow: *And* I'll throw a facedown!
Bolton: Not so fast! Crimson Mefist's ability now activates! You see, since you placed a spell or trap card facedown, *you* take three hundred points of damage!
Crow: Agh--!
(Mefist fires a blast of pink light, bringing Crow down to 600 lifepoints. The left wing on Crow's runner snaps off and bounces back along the track, flaming.)
Yusei: Okay, now we *know* the damage that thing gives is real.
Jack: Yeah, even Crow's *duel runner* is getting dinged up!
Bolton: Surrender now, Crow; surrender or vanish forever!
Crow: ...No way, no how. I won't quit!
Bolton: ...Fine, then. You'll learn the *hard* way. It's *my turn!*
(Scoreboard. Bolton, 2800, 8; Crow, 600, 1.)
Bolton: First, due to Mefist's ability, you take three hundred points of damage for each card on your field. You have three, so that's nine hundred pulverizing points!
Yusei: Look out!!!
Crow: I play the trap, "Down Burst"! <12:00> Now all face-up spell and trap cards that are out on your field do an about-face and become facedown!
Bolton: They *what*?!
Crow: Then I'll play another trap. "Delta Crow - Anti Reverse"! Now, since a Blackwing monster is face-up on *my* field, all facedown spell and trap cards on *your* field are destroyed! So those two you just flipped-- are *finished*! And now that I'm two trap cards lighter, the damage I take is gonna be reduced-- to just *three* hundred.
(Crow's lifepoints get blasted down to 300-- but he's still hanging on. Something explodes on the side of his runner, and a schematic briefly appears onscreen highlighting the same small, rectangular part of the runner beneath the seat that has been causing Crow's runner to act strangely.)
Yusei: The best part is, now that "White Out" is destroyed, the bond between Crow's Blackwings is restored!
Bolton: Those were some pretty *clever moves*; now allow *me* to show you some of my own. And I'll start by summoning forth yet another of my White Warriors! Behold! Sleet, the Morning Star!
[White Warrior - Sleet the Morning Star 0//L1/]
Bolton: But *this* sleet won't be *sticking*, because when he's released, and Crimson Mefist destroys a monster, *you* take half that monster's points as damage!
Yusei: But *that* means-- <13:00> if Crimson Mefist destroys Kochi, Crow takes fourteen hundred points of damage *and* loses the duel!
Bolton: Let 'im have it, Crimson Mefist. Attack with Rancid Rush!!
Jack: Oh *no*!!!
Crow: I don't think so! By sendin' Blackwing - Jetstream the Blue Sky from my hand to the graveyard, I can negate the destruction of Kochi!
Bolton: Lucky!
Jack: Whoa, talk about *close*!
(The attack dissipates as it passes Crow.)
Bolton: Struggle all you like, Crow, but your defeat is certain! I end with a facedown!
Crow (mutters): It's *my* turn. But if I play a facedown, I'll end up taking damage and losing the duel...! To stand a chance I gotta somehow take down that Crimson Mefist!
Nestling 1 (over speakers): Crow!
Crow: Huh?!
Nestling 1 (over speakers): Up here, in the control tower!
(Crow looks up; in the windows above, next to Yusei and Jack, Nestlings 2-5 are holding up drawings of Crow on his runner, cheering for him. Nestling 1 is speaking over the loudspeaker on the control console, with Bruno nearby to assist.)
Nestling 1 (into mic): Just wanted to letcha know, all us kids are behind ya!
- Go, Crow!
- You can do it!
- We're with you all the way, Crow!
- --Crow--
- Keep going!
Crow: ...Thanks, guys.
(Flashback. Yusei and Crow are standing by Crow's runner in Martha's yard.)
FB Yusei: Come on; you've said it yourself, Crow, you've taken *care* of Pearson's kids.
FB Crow: Huh...? I *have*? <14:00>
FB Nestling 1: Crow!
(They look over toward the house; the five nestlings are calling and waving to them.)
FB Nestling 3: Come on over here! We wanna *play*!
FB Yusei: Sure, Crow, it may not have been easy; but just check out those smiles on their faces, you should be proud. You've done a great job!
(End Flashback.)
(The nestlings are still cheering in the window.)
Crow: Those kids...! I gotta win this duel! Not just for Pearson, but I gotta win it for all of them as well!
(Crow's Sign begins to glow red on his arm. Crow gasps with surprise.)
Crow: My mark's lit up!
(A text box pops up on his screen, fills with a series of asterisks, and then the screen displays that mysteriously ailing part of his runner again, zooms in on it, and from it appears a synchro monster card, concealed deep within Crow's runner until the time was right.)
Bruno: Wha...!
Nestling 1: Ohh...!
Bruno: Oh, it's a *card*!
Yusei: Huh?
(Various holographic screens are popping up around the control tower windows, all of them showing the same image as the one on Crow's runner screen.)
Yusei: What's happening? Wait...
(Yusei looks closer at the card on the big screen; the dark-feathered, beaked dragon fans red and black wings in two great upward arcs.)
Yusei: No way, is that...
(Tears form at the corner of Crow's eyes.)
Crow: The Black-Winged Dragon! Pearson gave me this card to protect the kids he cared for so much-- so that's *exactly what I'm gonna do*!! (draw)
(Scoreboard. Bolton, 2800, 9; Crow, 300, 2.)
Crow: My turn-- and I summon Blackwing - Bora the Spear!
[Blackwing - Bora the Spear 1700//L4/]
Crow: Next, level-four Kochi the Daybreak *tunes* with level-four Bora the Spear!
(Bora soars through the green rings formed by Kochi's four stars. L4 + L4 = L8.) <15:00>
Crow: Now, by the power of a synchro-summoning, these two Blackwings will beat as one!! Soar to power!!
(At long last, the mighty dragon appears; in the bright light of the synchro-summon, black feathers fan through the air. Its eyes glow Signer-mark red against its silhouette as it lifts its head and roars.)
Crow: Black-Winged Dragon!!!
(Black feathers are scattering through the air, and its long, wavy grey-feathered tail whips behind it. The dragon's mighty wings are blades of white, each with a spine of black.)
(Yusei and Jack's Signs light up on their arms.)
Yusei: My mark!
Jack: Mine too!
(They look up at the screen, which now shows the Black-Winged Dragon as it takes the field.)
Jack: Could this be the Signers' *fifth* dragon?
(The dragon's bright-white-bladed wings catch the sunlight; its elegant grey-feathered tail wafts in the breeze. Black-Winged Dragon has taken the field.)
[Black-Winged Dragon 2800/1600/L8/dark]
Computer: Black-Winged Dragon is a level-eight dragon-type monster, with twenty-eight-hundred attack points and sixteen-hundred defense points.
Bolton: So, the Black-Wing' Dragon's finally here. Too little, too late, I'm afraid. I activate the trap, "Synchro Rivalry"! Now, on the turn you summon a synchro monster, like that dragon, none of the monsters on my field can be destroyed in battle!
Crow: We'll see about that-- I play Angel Baton!
("Speed Spell - Angel Baton")
Crow: Now since I have two or more speed counters, I get to draw two cards from my deck but must send one card in my hand to the graveyard! <16:00> So I send Blackwing - Zephyrus the Elite to the grave, and then place one card facedown!
Jack: Has Crow *lost* it?! If he does that, that means his turn is over and then *that* means--
Bolton: Crimson Mefist's ability activates! Now you take three hundred points of damage for every spell or trap card you have facedown!
(Crimson Mefist launches a bright pink fireball-- right at Crow!)
ACT 4 <16:23>
(Crimson Mefist throws a pink fireball at Crow.)
Bolton: I told you your defeat was certain! And now it will come to pass!
Nestlings #2-5: Look out, Crow!!
(The pink blast hits Black-Winged Dragon right in the chest-- and stops!)
Crow: *Actually* Black-Winged Dragon's looking out *for* me!!
(Yusei and Jack gasp.)
Bolton: What?!
Crow: I play his ability! Now I can *negate* non-battle damage by lowerin' Black-Wing' Dragon's attack points by however much that damage was-- in this case, three hundred!
(Black-Winged Dragon absorbs the pink light, and its attack points decrease from 2800 to 2500.)
Bolton: No way! That was gonna be the *end* for you!
Crow: Not anymore.
(The smallest of the large, white feathers that form the dragon's wings, turns black with a glowing red edge.)
Crow: And now, by takin' four hundred points of damage and returning one card on my field to my hand, I'm allowed to summon Blackwing - Zephyrus the Elite from my graveyard! <17:00>
[Blackwing - Zephyrus the Elite 1600//L4/]
(Zephyrus appears, and fires a beam of red light from his chest; it arcs high into the air, and crashes down on Black-Winged Dragon's back.)
Crow: But instead of taking that four hundred points of damage, I'll just use my Dragon's ability again!
Nestling #1: Cool; it's like his *bodyguard*.
Bolton: Are you *done*, Crow?!
Crow: Not even close, Bolton, 'cause when Zephyrus is summoned due to this ability, by placing a card facedown it's destroyed! And *since* I placed a card facedown, I now take damage from Crimson Mefist's ability-- only thanks once again to my Dragon's ability, *I don't*!
(Black-Winged Dragon takes another blast to the chest from Crimson Mefist and absorbs it; its attack points decrease to 1800 and more of its feathers turn black and red.)
Bolton: Rrrggghhh...!
Crow: Then by returnin' another card on my field to my hand, I can summon Zephyrus the Elite all over again!
[Blackwing - Zephyrus the Elite 1600//L4/]
(Zephyrus blasts Black-Winged Dragon in the back again, bringing it down to 1400 attack points.)
Crow: And, as before, I'll then place a card facedown to *destroy* Zephyrus!
(Another of the white feathers changes to black and red.)
Jack: Is it just me, or is that dragon's wing slowly turning *black*?
Yusei: Yeah... more so with every hit it takes.
Bolton: Look, Crow. Whaddaya tryin' to prove?
Crow: I'll tell ya what; that Pearson was just like his Dragon. <18:00> He wouldn't hesitate to take the hits for all of us, over and over again.
(As Crow speaks, a series of flashback still shots appear at his shoulder. In the first, three kids watch over Pearson's shoulders as he works on a machine.)
Crow: 'Cause the most important thing to him *was* us.
(In the second still shot, four little kids-- three of the same and one more-- gather around as Pearson shows them how he attaches what he was working on to a larger machine.)
Crow: *That's* why he didn't take the money back then.
(In the third still shot, Pearson sits on the floor next to what just got put together, and a few more kids have joined the ones seen before and are examining the machine from different angles and seeing how it fits together.)
Crow: Because he didn't care about getting rich and becomin' some *hotshot businessman*!
(The fourth and final still shot sees all of the kids from the previous three happily working together, building machines the way Pearson taught them.)
Crow: 'Cause he wasn't anything like *you*, Bolton!!
(Bolton gasps, stricken with guilt., and stares up at Black-Winged Dragon as it roars its pain; its attack points fall yet again to 1100.)
Bolton: No, but-- I just-- wanted to make a few good duel runners-- !
Crow: *Did* you?! Or were you in it for yourself!
(Flashback. Crow stands with Pearson, jaw hanging open, as Pearson cheerfully gestures toward the work table, at which the kids are busy working on machines together.)
Crow (VO): You say you care for your workers, but I've seen what *true* caring is; I've seen it in Pearson's eyes, and the eyes of all the children he looked after! If he took that money, where would that have left *them*?
(They watch the ten kids, none older than ten and some much younger, girls and boys in equal proportion, all very confident and happy as apprentice mechanics.)
Crow (VO): Without a future; without *hope*!!
(End Flashback.)
(Bolton is getting more and more upset as Crow continues, his voice full of emotion. Zephyrus the Elite appears on the field again, blasts Black-Winged Dragon again--)
Crow: Time and time again, Pearson put everyone else first and him *last*!
(Zephyrus' blast strikes Black-Winged Dragon between the shoulders, further humbling it to 700 attack points.)
Crow: Just like this dragon is doin' for me now. Over and over he *sacrificed* himself!!
(Zephyrus vanishes from Crow's field; the cycle is about to repeat again. Black-Winged Dragon cries out again as its attack points then fall from 700 to 400.)
Bolton: Huah...!
Crow: And he even did it when it meant he could lose *everything*-- he did it when *you* stood in his way.
(Flashback overlays what's happening in the present, half-opaque. Pearson coaches a trio of kids as they work on duel disks at the work table.)
Crow (VO): He did it for the *children*, <19:00> and he ended up paying the *ultimate price*!!
(End Flashback.)
(Black-Winged Dragon roars it agony to the sky; only two white feathers on each wing remain, and the rest is deep black and glowing, angry red.)
Crow: --And *that's why*--
(Another blast arcs into the air and smites Black-Winged Dragon in the back.)
Crow: He loved this card--
(The dragon screams again, as its attack points decrease all the way to 0; every one of its wings is glowing black and red.)
Crow: Because it's willing to pay the ultimate price, too!!
Nestling #1: No! Black-Wing' Dragon's outta points!
(The mighty dragon, humbled by adversity, glides slowly past the control tower window before their eyes; its wings burn red.)
Nestling #1: Does that means he's...?
(Bolton stares up at the dragon, horrified, humbled, lost. What now?)
Crow: Bolton! (ominously) Pearson vanished after his duel with you... But through the power of this dragon, he's still protecting us, even from the Netherworld!!
(As Crow speaks this last, Black-Winged Dragon's eyes shine with a new spark of fire, and glittering black and red power gathers between its pincered legs.)
Crow: I play Black-Wing' Dragon's ability! Now the attack points of my dragon are returned to their full amount, and the attack points of *your* monster's decreased (sic) by all the damage he negated!! Black-Wing' Burst! Go!!
(Crimson Mefist grows even paler, if that's possible. Black-Winged Dragon is radiating a deep blue glow, and more power is building between its claws. Every one of its black-edged feathers glows crimson. It then unleashes a devastating maelstrom of wind; Mefist freaks out and Black-Winged Dragon roars triumphantly as their points reverse. Now Mefist is the monster with no points.)
Jack: It's a complete role-reversal; now Black-Winged Dragon has all the power and Crimson Mefist has none!
Crow: Now, Black-Wing' Dragon, attack Crimson Mefist with-- <20:00> Shadow Squall Blast!!!
(Crimson Mefist is facing down a red and black fireball the width of the entire track; he doesn't stand a chance. Bolton bitterly glances up over his shoulder, then looks away, dejected, as the crimson fire overtakes him. The blast turns the air all around it smoldering orange and red. Bolton's lifepoints fall to 0.)
(The nestlings cheer.)
- Way to go, Crow, you're the best--
- Toldja you could do it--
- Yeah--!
Yusei: Well done.
(The steam vents on the front of Bolton's runner burst open, giving his runner a tail of fog as he skids to the side and brakes, Crow doing the same. Bolton quietly removes his helmet, and looks up at the mighty dragon, at all that remains of the old friend he betrayed.)
Bolton: Pearson... you were right all along.
(Black-Winged Dragon calmly gazes back at him; its bushy hair and the kindness in its eyes does seem to recall the image of Robert Pearson. It growls softly.)
Bolton: ...And I was wrong... I'm sorry for everything I did to you. From this point forward, things... *will change*.
(Bolton hangs his head, defeated. Crow regards him, neither upset nor much impressed, and mutters at last--)
Crow (mutters): Let's *hope*.
(The seagulls cry as they ride the breeze far above the boat. <21:00> One soars over toward the park with the tall obelisk monument, where we again find Crow, this time accompanied by Yusei and Jack. They stand quietly as Crow kneels on one of the pathways that spiral out from the obelisk.)
Crow: Pearson... just know that wherever you are, things 'round here have finally been set straight.
(He looks at the Black-Winged Dragon card in his hand.)
Crow: And when we find a way to get you back from the netherworld, I'll have Black-Wing' Dragon waitin' for ya...
(Crow sobs quietly, grieving.)
Crow: ...*Always*.
