(Opening)

ACT 1 <<2:56>>

(The skies are dark over the WRGP semifinals. The 5D's pit booth watches Jack and Red Nova Dragon race past and into another lap.)
Announcer: Dragen is out!! But Jack Atlas is *hanging on by a thread*!
(Jack's lifepoints are down to 100 and he doesn't look too good. Dragen's runner, though, is looking much worse; it fills the air with steam and smoke as it halfway careens into Team Ragnarok's pit stop lane. A pit technician runs from Dragen to Broder, who's already ready and waiting on his runner, and hands him the relay sticker. Dragen encouragingly calls across to Broder as the latter slaps the sticker onto his arm.)
Dragen: Finish 'im off, Broder!
Broder: Heh! *That* shouldn't be a problem, thanks to the *God Card* ya left in play for me!
(With a thumbs-up, Broder peels out and enters the duel.)
Haldor: A great weight has been lifted from your shoulders, Dragen.
Dragen: I *guess*. I gave that duel everything I'm made of; (sardonic) guess I'm not made of *much*!
Haldor: Hmph. I sense *bitterness* in your voice.
Dragen: It's just that Team Five-D's is *really strong*.
Haldor: But *we* are the ones who fight with the strength of the Nordic Gods. Strong they may be, but-- Five-D's will grovel before us three.

(As Broder zooms out onto the track, Thor looms above him.)
Announcer: Wheeling in for Team Ragnarok is a warrior named Broder! This snickering upstart is known for using transformation cards, which has earned him the nickname, 'the Trickster'! But will tricks be enough to stop Five-D's?! Let's find out!!

(Broder catches up to within shouting distance of Jack, then rises halfway off of his seat and extends an arm toward Jack with an actor's elegance.)
Broder: It is *truly* an honor to meet you, Jack Atlas-- let's do this!
(And he's back in his seat drawing a card. Scoreboard. Broder, 4000, 7; Jack, 100, 3.)
Broder: I place two cards facedown-- then activate the big dude's special ability! Which means Thor, Lord of the Aesir, negates Red Nova Dragon's special ability!
(Thor points to the sky, absorbs and gathers lightning, then points at Red Nova Dragon, zapping its attack points down to 3500.)
Broder: Now their attack points are equal. Thing is--

(Broder stands in his seat again, spotlighted on the Sphere in the stadium, wagging his finger at the camera.)
Broder (on Sphere): My team has a saying-- 'never run around thinking that you're equal to a god'!

Broder: To show you *why* we say that, I got some mutually-assured-destruction action *just for you*, Jack Atlas! It's time for the titans to clash-- go, Thunderbolt Bludgeon!
(Thor takes in lightning with his hammer and starts to swing it; Nova responds with claws. The two collide, midair, and a wave rolls over the ocean beneath, out from the center of the clash. Then they both explode. Jack and Broder are launched airborne, barely staying on their runners. Broder hits the ground swerving widely and apparently having a blast.)
Broder: W-whoa! Wha! Whooo! All right!
(Jack spins a few times and rights himself just as Broder says--)
Broder: I end my turn.
(The ocean parts again...)
Broder: *But*, don't think you're off the hook, dude!
(And Thor rises from the depths.)
Broder: Even though Thor, Lord of the Aesir was destroyed and sent to my graveyard, it resurrects during the end phase, and delivers eight hundred points of damage!
(Thor zaps lightning down onto the track, and Jack dodges around it; in the end it catches him and zaps his lifepoints straight to 0.)
Jack: Nnngghhh!
Announcer: Whoa!

(The 5D's pit booth watches tensely.)
Announcer: Jack Atlas has been eliminated!! He- is- *ouuuut*!!!

ACT 2? <<5:19>>

(Vents gushing steam, Jack peels off the track through a duel gate on the side. Broder salutes cheekily over his shoulder.)
Broder: See yuh!

(And he postures for the crowd.)
Broder (on Sphere): People of Domino City! *That--* is how you get it done!
(The crowd cheers.)
Bruno: So even if you manage to *destroy* that God Card--
Yusei: It rises back up. And then hammers out some *significant damage*. *That's* gonna be a problem.
(Jack rides in, breathing heavily, as Crow's putting on his helmet. Bruno and Akiza rush to his side.)
Crow: Jack-- you okay?
Jack: I'm fine, but-- those impacts were *real*...
(Jack pulls the sticker off his arm and hands it to Akiza.)
Jack: So don't do anything *dumb*.
(Crow takes the sticker from Akiza.)
Crow: Yeah, yeah...
Nestlings: Crow! Hey Crow!
Crow: Huh?
(Crow looks up to see his kids holding up the banner they made for him, with a cartoony drawing of him and his runner.)
Nestlings: Tear it up out there, Crow!
Nestling #2: We're with you, Crow!!
Crow: Then there's no way I can lose!
(The nestlings cheer.)
- We know you can win!
- We're rootin' for ya!
Crow (think): I can't let those little nerds down...
(As Broder rides back into the stadium, he hears the cheering and spots the nestlings. Then he decisively looks straight ahead. Bruno and Akiza watch him and Thor pass as Crow rides out onto the track behind them.)
bruno: The scariest thing about these God Cards is that each member of Team Ragnarok... has a God Card of their *own*.
Yusei: Hopefully Crow'll keep that in mind. It's bad enough dealing with *one* Nordic God--

Yusei (VO): I'd hate to see Broder somehow bring *another* one to the field.
(Crow rides through the duel gate and into the lane.)
Announcer: You know him-- you love him-- wheeling in for Team Five-D's is none other than, *Crow*!
(Broder sees Crow's face on his runner screen as his opponent catches up to him.)
Broder: 'Crow', huh? Kinda name is *that*?
Crow: The kind you're gonna remember! Now let's go!! It's my turn!
(Scoreboard. Broder, 4000, 8; Crow, 4000, 4.)
Crow (think): I can't play any traps against this god monster 'cause a' that *Solemn Authority* he's got in play. (aloud) In that case, I guess I'll have to wing it! Literally! I summon Blackwing - Sirocco the Dawn!
[Blackwing - Sirocco the Dawn 2000//L5/]
Crow: When *you're* the only one with monsters on the field, *I* can summon this Blackwing without releasing another monster! So now, since a Blackwing is already out on my field, I can directly summon the Blackwing tuner monster Gale the Whirlwind!
[Blackwing - Gale the Whirlwind 1300//L3/]
Crow: Next up, I'm activating Gale the Whirlwind's special ability! Once a turn, Gale can slice *your* monster's attack and defense points in half!
(Thor's new total is 1750.)
Crow: And now, with the combined levels of the Blackwings out on my field adding up to eight, I can summon Blackwing - Calima the Haze directly to the field!
[Blackwing - Calima the Haze 600//L4/]
Crow: An' since birds of a feather flock together, Whirlwind tunes Calima the Haze!
(Gale forms into three rings and Calima flies through them and becomes its four aligning stars. L4 + L3 = L7.)
Crow: I synchro-summon-- Blackwing Armor Master!
[Blackwing Armor Master 2500//L7/]
Crow: Armor Master, take down Thor, Lord of the Aesir!
(Armor Master attacks, crashing straight into Thor's chest with a blast of smoke. Broder's lifepoints fall to 3250.)
Broder: Rrrrrggghhh...
Crow: Broder! I hope you're ready for more, 'cause Sirocco the Dawn is about to swoop in and attack you directly!
(Sirocco slashes Broder, sending him airborne again. He lands side-skidding forward, lifepoints now at 1250.)

Announcer: Whoa-a, talk about *coming out swinging*!
(The cheerleaders are dancing on the stadium steps.)
Announcer: In one move, Crow has defeated Broder's Nordic God, and managed to land a *critical blow*!
(Jack has taken Crow's seat in the 5D's pit booth, a bit worse for wear but smiling.)
Yusei: Nice!

Crow: That god a' yours may be *invincible*, but in the end there's only so much damage *you* can take.
Broder (overdramatic): I've- been wounded! I'm *losing already*!! (he was faking) Ahh, just kiddin'!
Crow: Hm?
Broder: An apple a day keeps the damage away, my friend, and by activating "The Golden Apples" trap card, I can regain all the battle damage I *took* this turn!
Crow: Aww, no *way*!
Broder: Hmhmheheheh!

Leo: So wait... Crow's attack was *pointless*?
Luna: We're right back where we started!

Broder: Next, I can summon one Malus Token whose attack and defense points are equal to the damage I just took!
(Broder just summoned an amorphous little token with 2750 attack points.)
Crow (think): *Great*, so he *regained* his lifepoints, and now he's got a monster with two-thousand-seven-hundred-fifty attack points! (aloud) I place two cards facedown and end my turn!
Broder: This is the end phase-- so the mighty Thor rises up from the great beyond!!
(The sea rises in an avalanche of foam, and Thor reappears. Broder goes into a side-skid.)
Broder: And, due to Thor's special ability, you take eight hundred points of damage!
(Thor rains lightning down onto the track, and Crow's lifepoints fall to 3200. Crow's visor has begun to crack just as Jack's did.)
Crow (think): I gotta do something about that God Card!
Broder: You just don't get it, Crow; your fate has been *sealed*, bro! Every monster, spell, and trap you play, you take one more step towards your own defeat!

ACT 3 <<9:29>>

Broder: It's my turn, Crow!
(Scoreboard. Broder, 4000, 9; Crow, 3200, 5.)
Broder: But before I can make a move, the effect of my Solemn Authority trap card ends, since this is the second standby phase!

Bruno: Good. Now Crow can use a trap card against Thor if he needs to.
Yusei: *However*...

Broder: My Thor's ability will make up for *that* loss! Not only can the big man negate Armor Master's special ability, he can also *snag* one of its abilities to use as his own! I'll take the whole 'can't be destroyed in battle' thing.
(Thor saps Armor Master's abilities.)
Crow: Rrrrghh...

Jack: Without having that special ability...
Yusei: Crow's monster won't be able to survive an assault.

Broder: Now, I'll attack your Sirocco with my Malus Token!
(The token turns around and spits flames, roasting Sirocco.)
Crow: Uuuggghh...!
(Crow's down to 2450 lifepoints.)
Broder: But I'm not done yet! Thor, Lord of the Aesir, take out Armor Master! Go, Thunderbolt Bludgeon!
(The hammer connects with Armor Master, and Crow and his runner are propelled through the air to land harshly against the bowled edge of the track. Crow rides back down onto level ground, scraping against the track.)

(The nestlings are watching anxiously.)
Nestlings #5 and #4: Look out, Crow!
Nestlings #2 and #3: Be careful!

(Wheels sparking, Crow regains his balance and zooms forward, and his smile promises trouble.)
Crow: I've been waiting for this moment!
Broder: Hm?
Crow: Because, when two Blackwings on my field are destroyed during the same turn, I'm able to special-summon Blackwing - Brisote the Tailwind straight from my hand!
[Blackwing - Brisote the Tailwind 1200//L5/]
Crow: And now I reveal the "Black Return" trap card! When I special-summon a Blackwing, I can use "Black Return" to send one of the monsters on *your* field *back to your hand*!
Broder: *Tha-at's* a bummer.

Akiza: And since Thor is a synchro monster, it returns to Broder's Extra Deck instead of his hand!
Bruno: So now, in order to summon a Nordic God, Broder's gotta meet the summoning requirements all over again!
Yusei: And *that's* not gonna be easy. Crow set that trap up perfectly!
Leo: Another great move by Team Five-D's!!

Crow: Oh, and by the way, Broder, I now regain lifepoints equal to your Nordic God's attack points-- so hurry up an' send that big god a' yours packin', wouldja?!
(Broder's teeth are clenched, his fingers tensed in a claw as though in pain. Then he smiles it off-- he was sarcastically faking high drama again.)
Broder: Nah; don't think so!
Crow: Huh?!
Broder: I reveal my trap! With "Nordic Relic Laevateinn", I can destroy one monster that defeated *another* monster in battle this turn!
(Broder pronounces the name lay-VAY-ten-yeen. Crow can barely believe his ears; this is *not* good.)
Crow: Uhoh.
Broder: So *I'll* destroy Thor before I let *you* benefit from its destruction!
Crow: Oh no, then that means-- Thor's gonna hit me with another eight hundred points of damage!
(Little tiny swords fly in all directions, and shatter Thor.)
Broder: Ya know, I have to admit, your little ruse *was* a clever one. I almost started to think you were *genuinely makin' bad moves*. But in the end, you just can't out-trick a true trickster like me, ma friend.
Crow: Rrrgggh...
Broder: Next, I place one card facedown. And now Thor rises again!!
(He does, and his shadow looms over Crow once again, blocking out the sky. Then lightning explodes around him and crashes down all around Crow on the track; he weaves and dodges.)
Broder: And with Thor back in play, you lose eight hundred lifepoints!
Crow: Yaaaah-aaaaaaggghhh...!!!
(Crow is zapped down to 650 lifepoints.)

(Yusei and Jack watch Crow ride after Broder on the monitor screen; he's weaving unsteadily.)
Jack: Broder had a trap waiting to prevent that God Card from being sent to his Extra Deck.
Yusei: Huh.

(Dragen and Haldor are watching from their own pit booth, both very pleased.)
Dragen: *Very* impressive. Broder has found a way to obliterate Thor *twice* already.
Haldor: Only he would conjure up such a reckless strategy-- Broder's playing games with gods.

(Broder and Thor are heading back toward the stadium, Crow a good few curves of the track behind.)
Crow (think): Six-hundred-fifty lifepoints-- I'm in the danger zone! If he's got a speed spell in his hand, then I'm a goner on the next turn!

ACT 4 <<12:59>>

(Broder and Thor are heading back toward the stadium, Crow a good few curves of the track behind.)
Broder: You're headin' to full-on *wipeout*, Crow!

Nestlings: You can do it, Crow!!

Crow: Huh?
(As he rides into the stadium, he sees the Nestlings holding up their banner. As they ride past, Broder is looking toward it, too.)
Crow: Thanks guys...
Broder: Those little tykes are the reason you're in this, aren't they. Their hope gives you strength.
(As he speaks, Broder sees the faces of ten young kids with bright, smiling faces and tanned skin.)
Broder: But you're still not strong enough. *I'm* the only one who can protect the children!
Crow: 'Protect the children'? Whadda you mean?! Who *are* you?!
(Broder is silent...)

(Flashback. An ocean diver is diving for buried treasure in blue-green waters.)
Broder (VO): They used to call me 'The Seeker'. I was a treasure-hunter, a lone wolf. I'd gotten a tip about a galley, sunken off the coast of a small, uncharted island in the tropics.
(Below is a sunken ship, and, sitting on top of the sediment of sand in the ruined vessel, a silvery tiara sparkles in the light from his headlamp. He returns to the surface, a bag of loot slung over his shoulder.)
Broder (VO): When I surfaced from my dive, I discovered that the island was *not* uninhabited.
(Broder stands on the beach in his wetsuit, bag over his shoulder and wearing the tiara on his head, and opposite him is a gaggle of children-- ragged, hungry-looking, younger clinging to only slightly older for protection from this stranger. All of them watch him in wary silence.)
Broder (VO): They were orphans, children who were displaced due to the conflicts tearing the nearby countries apart. Through an underground pipeline, they had found each other. They had learned that this island was a safe place.
(Broder smiles at them as reassuringly as he can, still wearing the sparkly tiara, then something else catches his eye. One of the young children is sick, wincing and moaning softly with pain as one of the older girls checks his forehead temperature with her hand; the children have made him a sickbed of seaweed, and all look strained and worried.)
Broder (VO): They were alone; they had no one to take care of them. When *I* met them... everything changed.
(Broder has made up his mind, his eyes on the face of the sick child. Broder's metal case of diving equipment falls from his hand.)
Broder (VO): My wandering days, were *over*.
(Broder's smile is wholehearted this time, as he slings the bag off his shoulder and takes off the tiara.)

(Soon, they're all living in a cheery thatch and wood building, stilted off the ground for life in the tropics.)
Broder (VO): Suddenly, this lone wolf, had a *pack*. We looked after one another; we took *care* of each other.
(Inside, the room is filled with laughter. The walls are lined with some amazing treasures including a full suit of medieval armor that one of the little girls marvels at, while a little boy examines an ornate pair of ox horns. Clearly Broder's turned some of his treasure into cash, though, evidenced by the flatscreen TV. Across the room, four or five other kids happily eat and tease each other, the older girl is giving the now-healthy toddler a piggyback ride, and Broder, in his hawaiian shirt, khakis, and sneakers, watches it all from the doorway, smiling.)
Broder (VO): I'd never been happier.

(The stars in the dark sky sparkle onto the water beside the full moon. Broder and the kids are standing on the beach, just after sunset.)
Broder (VO): Soon, I learned the stories about the wars that ravaged their homelands. Every single conflict could be traced back to *some secret group*, some group that operated in the shadows, and behind closed doors, manipulating the world in a neverending quest for money, and power!
(They look up toward the sparkling swath of stars above. End Flashback.)

Broder: As long as this secret group keeps doing its thing, the children of the world will never be safe!
Crow: 'Secret group'?! Are you talking about--
Broder: Iliaster. I knew I had to stop them... but I didn't know how. And that's when I first met Haldor and Dragen.

(Flashback. Haldor's rune eye lights; then Dragen's; then Broder's.)
Broder (VO): They showed me *true power*, and I realized that vengeance was within my reach. With the help of the Nordic Gods, I could bring Iliaster down!
((The bright tropical sky turns dark and starry, glowing with aurora borealis lights. As the three duelists stand on the beach, their cards alight, the three deities they represent appear in the benighted sky above. End Flashback.)

(In the sheen of Broder's visor can be seen the faces of the children he takes care of.)
Broder: I'm here to defeat Iliaster, Crow-- and I, too, am doin' it for the kids!
Crow: I *hear* ya.
Broder: My one chance to get to those bullies is right in front a' me-- and *so close*! No way am I lettin' someone *weak like you* take it away!
Crow: I'll show ya *weak*! (draw) Right here, right now!
(Scoreboard. Broder, 4000, 10; Crow, 650, 6.)
Crow: I summon the tuner monster Blackwing - Blizzard the Far North in defense mode!
[Blackwing - Blizzard the Far North 1300/0/L2/dark]
Crow: Thanks to Blizzard the Far North's special ability, I can summon one level-four-or-below Blackwing from my graveyard in defense mode! So I'm bringin' back-- Gale the Whirlwind!
(Gale returns to the field, with 300 defense points.)
Crow: Next I play the "Blackboost" trap card! When there's two Blackwings on my field, "Blackboost" allows me to draw two more cards from my deck! (he draws) I'm activating the Speed Force speed spell!
("Speed Spell - Speed Force")
Crow: When I've got at least four speed counters, Speed Force stops you from destroying cards on my field with a spell or trap until the end phase of my next turn!
Broder: Rrrrgghh...
Crow: And now, due to Gale the Whirlwind's special ability, Thor, Lord of the Aesir's attack points are cut in half!
(Thor's points are halved to 1750.)
Crow: And with *that* out of the way, I'll tune Gale the Whirlwind with Brisote the Tailwind!
(Gale turns into three green rings and Brisote's golden outlines and shining stars line up at their center. L5 + L3 = L8. In a burst of green light...)
Crow: I synchro-summon--
(A fiery red eye burns and flares against a black silhouette in the bright light.)
Crow: Black-Winged Dragon!!
(Black-Winged Dragon's arrival fills the air with black feathers, its white-bladed wings fanned proudly.)
[Black-Winged Dragon 2800//L8/]
(Brisote the Tailwind appears on Crow's screen and shines, illuminating Crow with a golden blaze from his runner screen.)
Crow: *And* since Brisote the Tailwind was used to synchro-summon, I regain six hundred lifepoints!
(That gives Crow 1250 now. He sets his sights on the big guy.)
Crow: And now, Black-Winged Dragon, attack Thor, Lord of the Aesir-- with Shadow Squall Blast!
(Black-Winged Dragon blasts Thor in the chest with a stream of red and black. Thor explodes at Broder's back in a big puff of black smoke. He rides it out, and his lifepoints decrease to 2950.)
Crow: I end my turn by placing one card facedown.
Broder: Is that the best that you can do?! (Crow doesn't respond.) That's too bad. Thor rises once again!
(The first Nordic God rises from the mist, his attack points restored to their original 3500.)
Broder: An' just like before, you lose eight *hundred* lifepoints!
(Thor sends a rain of lightning down to the track.)
Crow: Actually... things're gonna go a little *different* this time.
Broder: They are?
Crow: I activate Black-Winged Dragon's special ability-- damage drain!
Broder: Oh no!
Crow: Now instead of *me* taking damage, my *Black-Winged Dragon* will! The downside is that every time it does this, it loses seven hundred attack points.
(The first three blades of Black-Winged Dragon's white wings turn red-burning-black. Its attack points decrease to 2100.)

Yusei: So long as he's got Black-Wing' Dragon out on the field, he can stop Thor from dealing damage when he resurrects!

Broder: Hmm, you got some tricks of your *own*, I see! Nice little *move*! But you're too busy worrying about the god looming in front of you to see the *real* threat.
Crow: Whadda you mean by *that*?
Broder: Heheheh-- let's *find out*!
(Draw. Broder, 2950, 11; Crow, 1250, 7.)
Broder: I summon, Ljosalf of the Nordic Alfar!
(Pronounced here LYU-salf. It flits around Broder and his runner, and wraps its tail around the Malus token, towing it after it.)
[Ljosalf of the Nordic Alfar 1400//L4/]
Broder: Ljosalf's special ability grants me the power to summon a monster from my hand whose level is equal to the combined levels of Malus Token and Ljosalf! I summon the tuner monster Svartalf of the Nordic Alfar!
[Svartalf of the Nordic Alfar 1400//L5/]

Yusei: A tuner monster! Not good.
Jack: *That*, Yusei, is an understatement.

Broder: Now, my level-five Svartalf of the Nordic Alfar tunes both my level-one Malus Token, *and* my level-four Lyosalf of the Nordic Alfar!
(In a tower of green light that stretches all the way to a dark pit in the black and purple swirling heavens above, the stars rise up out of sight. Broder's eye shifts into the glowing magenta rune, and the shadow of it rises into the air after the tuning stars.)
Broder: I synchro-summon, Loki, Lord of the Aesir -- the *ultimate* trickster!
(Beams of light are filtering through the clouds, and mischievous, echoing laughter can be heard in the heavens. His red, pointy-toed boots are just barely visible as Loki, trickster of the gods, descends from above.)

Bruno: Incredible!!
(Akiza gasps out loud. Luna is watching in openmouthed shock.)

Announcer: Who-o-a-a, shock and aw-w-we!!! We've got *two* Nordic Gods on the field here, people!!

(Loki now towers in the sky overhead, wisps of cloud dissipating around his knees, his dark maroon and black robes, his gnarled green hands; he's shining with magenta light from the tips of his toes all the way up to the giant, garish orange shoulder pads with huge pink ruffles, the pointy beard, ears, and nose, and the blank red eyes. Loki is the very image of a giant, sinister jester, including the tricky smirk on his face.)
[Loki, Lord of the Aesir 3300//L10/]
Broder: Hahaha! Now this is what I'm talkin' about!
Computer: Loki, Lord of the Aesir, is a spellcaster-type monster, with thirty-three-hundred attack points, and three thousand defense points.
(loki and Thor now stand side-by-side; compared to Thor's muscled bulk, Loki is shorter and slighter, but between them, the darkened sky can no longer even be glimpsed.)
Broder: Thor is truly great, but I wanted to fight with my *own* god. Loki is the *master* of mischief, the king of trickery! Now I've got *two Nordic Gods*-- it's *over* for you, Crow! Loki, Lord of the Aesir, take out Black-Wing' Dragon!
(Loki raises his hand, cackling malevolently, and dark power swirls into it. Then he lifts a single fingertip, gathering all that power to one point in a bubble of vicious energy, and points it straight at Black-Winged Dragon!)
Crow: Hate to break it to ya, but this is *far* from over! I reveal my trap; it's "Black Sonic"! Now, when Black-Wing' Dragon is out on my field and you attack, I can activate this card's power-- and remove all your monsters in attack mode from play!
Broder: You *what?!*

Akiza: If they're removed from play, they can't resurrect!
Yusei: This was Crow's plan all along! Broder played right into it!

Crow: You probably thought that I thought that you couldn't summon another god to the field-- but I was *hoping you would*!! So I could take 'em *both* out.
(Loki still has power crackling at the end of his fingertip, that now, it seems he won't be using.)
Broder: No...! What will I *do*?! (he was bluffing again) Oh wait a sec, what'm I saying, I'm good to go! 'Cause I'm still five steps ahead a *you*.
Crow: What?!
Broder: Check out Loki's special ability; when Loki attacks, he can also *negate and destroy* one card in your spell an' trap zone. So much for Black Sonic.
(It shatters.)
Crow: Aw, man.
Broder: I'm sorry, Crow; but I'm gonna *bury* your Black-Wing' Dragon. Go, Vanity Blast!
(That may be misheard. Black-Winged Dragon gets the attack full in the chest, roars, glows, and explodes. Crow takes the hit and goes into a harsh spinout, righting himself further behind; he's down to 50 lifepoints now.)
Broder: Heheheheh. And now for my *other* god-- (side-skid) Thor, Lord of the Aesir, pulverize Blizzard the Far North! Go, Thunderbolt Bludgeon!!
(Crow winces as Thor pounds his defense monster. One of the wings on Crow's runner is flapping slightly in the wind, damaged.)
Announcer: I don't think Crow saw that coming! His field is empty and he's got *two Nordic Gods* staring 'im down!

Luna: No *way*...
Leo: Is there *anything* he can do?
Yusei: I dunno.

Announcer: Crow's got fifty lifepoints left--! No cards-- none!-- standing between him and the *power of the gods*! Someone tell Crow-- he's done-for!
(Crow's head is bowed, eyes closed, teeth clenched; he may just have to brace himself for defeat... To Be Continued...)
