The Condor geoglyph has just formed in the sky, causing concern among Yusei and Clarice and their friends.
"What on earth is that thing?" Akiza gaze at the new Dark Signer Mark appeared to be a bird
"I don't know." Yusei replied. "Looks like one those....Dark Singer markings."
"Yusei! Look who I found!" Suddenly a familar voice called his name wan none other than Crow and Jack who catch up with the rest of the gang, gazing up at the Condor.
"It's Jack and Crow." Kyouwa sees.
"Yeah and from the looks of it, we're here right in time. "Jack nodded.
"So you're Akiza, huh?" Crow meets Akiza for the first time, seeing that she won her Duel. "Guessing you won your duel, but what's with the light show?" he wonders what the current phenomenon is about.
Suddenly A mild earthquake breaks out right before some multi-colored light is emitted from the crater in the center of the B.A.D..shocking everyone.
"it's an Earthquake!' Trudge exclaims.
" Maybe.... or maybe not." Yusei understands that the Doors to the Netherworld have completely opened.
"So now what?" Asben asked.
"Hey! I know that area!" Crow claims.
Kyouwa nodded. "Yep, I bet everyone knew that as well."
Yusei narrow his brows. "That spot...it's where the first Enter-D Reactor was....and I had a hunch that portal up to the Netherworld is now open up for business. "
Once he said that, Various thunderbolts strike the area around that crater above the former Dark Signers' lair and a dark filthy liquid makes its way out of the hole. Two red glowing eyes appear near the top of the sludge as it takes the form of a giant dragon.
The King of the Netherworld spread his wings. His skinny limbs stretched out. He began the crawl to New Domino City and the ominous Condor marking in the distance.
The dragon stands over Satellite, dripping sludge, and staring in the direction of the Condor lines. Everyone is terrified by the creature's presence.
"My...gosh." Clarice hissed.
"Uh-oh...Trouble." Yusei puts her behind him.
"What ever that thing is, it looks its heading towards the city!" Luna hugs her twin brother.
"Yusei, Roman said that if we failed to seal the four towers in time, then the King king of the Netherworld would appear." Crow mentions.
"I know....and I'm guessing that's him." Yusei infers that this creature must be the King of the Netherworld.
"As an officer of the law, my duty to arrest that thing." Trudge claims.
Niro deadpanned at that comment. "Really? Can you really arrest a huge demon? How?"
Trudge frowns. "I don't know, but unfortunately at this present moment, I'm off duty."
"That's what I thought." Niro huffs.
"Hold on!" Mina chimes in. "Nothing bad has happen just yet. Maybe if we don't bug it, it won't bug us."
"That is the most terrible idea I ever heard." Niro groans. "That thing will kill all of us no matter who lives or who dies."
"I'm going to agree with Niro over there." Leo sides with the Skyburst Duelist.
Luna suddenly clench her arm.
"Luna!" Leo worries.
Luna winced in pain. Her mark burned. "Guys, Kuribon saying if that creature makes it to where that condor mark is... a lot of bad things are gonna happen."
Yusei turned to Luna. "Um, what kinda bad things?"
"Oh the very bad kind!"
Leo ease up his sister. "Okay, so we got a stop it! Only question is how?!"
Yusei tries to think when suddenly The other Signer marks begin to glow too along with Clarice's birthmark.
"You're marks..." Clarice whispered.
"You're birthmark." Yusei points hers.
After a few cracks of thunder, some red light shines from the sky, making way for the Crimson Dragon. The Crimson Dragon sends a blast of light at the Signers and their companions.
"Are we... inside the Crimson Dragon?" Akiza's 's eyes widened as stars whooshed by.
"Yep! And we're going somewhere in a hurry!" Yusei holds Clarice by the waist.
"Yeah well I think our stop is coming up!" Crow exclaimed.
The path of stardust opened up and deposited the Signers as well as their runners and company before a temple. The Condor sign hovered above them.
The gang and their Duel Runners are transported to Goodwin's island residence, where one of of the buildings has been smashed, as the Stairway to the Dragon Star has jutted out from underground, breaking through it.
Jack recognizes. "Where on earth is he taking us? Isn't this the temple that was underneath Goodwin's mansion?"
The Condor geoglyph glows just above the stairway.
"That's where it's been hiding all along..." Clarice deduces. The Condor geoglyph they saw in Satellite was above Goodwin's residence,
"Wait, so then... The King of the Netherworld is heading here, but what for?" Leo is surprised at how they got there in such short time.
"I don't know..." Yusei frowns.
"In that case, allow me to explain," a man's voice broke in. Goodwin stepped out onto the top of the temple. "For you see, you may have succeeded in defeating the Dark Signers, but not in time to close the door to the Netherworld."
"Director?" Meena's brow furrowed in confusion.
"Goodwin," Jack growled.
"I knew you were behind all this." Clarice seethed.
"Nothing gets past you, Clarestia." He chuckled to himself.
"So tell us what's going on?" Yusei demanded. "Did we fail? Is the world going to end? And why is that thing headed here?"
"For the ritual."
"What? What ritual?"
"The ritual that has been carried out at this temple for many millennia."
"Okay so...what exactly happen to this ritual?"
Goodwin shrugged, maddeningly nonchalant. "It all depends. But this time it's something that's never happened before."
"Just spit it out." Kyouwa spats.
"Hah, so eager, but for you to fully understand I would need to just start the very beginning." He smirked and whipped out the capsule containing Roman's severed arm.
Every person possessing marks groaned in pain. The severed arm's marking glowed brightly, activating theirs as well.
"That's the final mark of the Dragon.." Clarice grunts. "It's Roman's severed damn arm!"
"But what do you want with it?!" Yusei hissed.
"I want to use it!" Goodwin declares. "Why do you think I have that metal arm of mine."
Jack remembers learning that Goodwin has a mechanical left arm, during the Fortune Cup, and asks if the arm in the capsule is his. "What's one have to do with the other?"
As Rex sets down the capsule, he replies "You fool, I have to construct it so I wouldn't have a conduit, so to speak."
"Just what are you planning, Goodwin?" Yusei prompting to ask why he has it.
Goodwin laughs and turns around. To everyone's surprise, the Condor dark mark appears on his back.
"Another mark? But wait...that one...."
"That's right... it is the Dark Signer..." Goodwins grins as his jacket then tears as his muscles expand. A purple circle appears on his chest, purple lines start to form over his now muscular body, more of it starts to form on his face, and his sclerae turn pitch black, showing his status as a Dark Signer.
"I'm gonna barf." Niro gags.
"You and me both. That's nasty," Crow gulped.
"Meaning that soon I will have both the power of the Light and the Darkness!"
"You won't!" Kyouwa protested
"And just who's going to stop me? You?" He unlocks the canister and rips off his mechanical arm.
"What is he doing?!" Yusei eyes went wide.
"I told you..." he used his other arm, he takes Roman's arm from the tank. "That metal arm was a conduit, a device to transfer the power of the Crimson Dragon to me."
"But why?" Yusei demands. "What do you plan to do with it?!"
"What else, to become all powerful and rule the world! And with my Dark Sign and the power my brother entrusted to me, I shall!" He replies by using both the powers of the Crimson Dragon and the Earthbound Immortals
Goodwin raises his arm and the Stairway rises further out of the ground. Everyone retreats back from Rex's residence, while the Stairway rises higher into the sky. Goodwin laughs manically with his view of the whole city.
"Behold, the purge of my rage to come!" Goodwin exclaims. "But first, let us all begin the ancient ritual for the King of the Netherworld! We will duel on the crest of the condor, there I will crush you Signers and then send you all to the Netherworld! In term, he will do my biting and my ultimate plan will at last will be set in motion !"
"Have you lost your mind?!" Yusei shouted back as he got on with his Runner. "
"Yeah! You're the one who asked Yusei for help in the first place, to take down the Dark Signers!" Crow reminds.
"I had my reasons, now then, will you agree to this duel or will you not?"
"Sure! If beating you means that thing goes bye-bye!" Yusei accepts the Duel.
"Sounds far to me, but...you wretched Signers are the ones who'll be getting a beating!" he retorted. "If I win, The Dragon-Phoenix of Light is mine along with the Crimson Dragon!"
"We'll see!" Yusei challenged. "Let's do this!"
"Bring it on! No one here is afraid of you Goodwin!" Jack vows to disperse of Goodwin.
"That's right! SO you got yourself some bulging body sepsis, so what? Take a look at these bad boys build for speed and Power." Crow also rises to the challenge; Despite not being a Signer, he'll do anything for the kids in Satellite. "Just like the Legendary Man Himself. That's right, we'll sore as high as he did in this duel!" Crow thinks in inspiration of the man from the Daedalus Bridge legend.
Goodwin grins hearing this.
"You three defeat the mastermind, we'll take care of the rest." Kyouwa click his Saber-blade along with Asben, Niro and Clarice.
"Then let's get started! Because Crow, Jack and I are all set to Rev' it Up!" Yusei declares.
"Yusei...you better not lose." Clarice reminds him.
Yusei nodded at her. "Sure. And you better keep your promise when I win, you'll let me take you out on a hang out."
"Likewise, Turbo-boy." Clarice nodded back.
As the three Duelists start their engines, Yusei vows to stop the King of the Netherworld. The others provide encouragement for the trio. The Condor geoglyph rotates, so that it tilts downwards.
"First a few ground rules; since this is three on one match you will each start with 4000 LP while I will start with 3 times that amount, 12000."
A compartment on the temple shuffles Goodwin's Deck. "Also none of us can attack on the first turn. Are there any objection?"
"None here!" Crow smirks.
"That all works for me!" Jack agrees.
"Me too!" Yusei chimes in. "So let's go!"
The others agree and Goodwin activates "Speed World" into the compartment on the temple .Yusei, Jack and Crow to ramp onto the geoglyph and use it as a Turbo Duel circuit.
"Duel!"
Crow: 4000
Jack: 4000
Yusei: 4000
Goodwin: 12000
"Now Signers, Prepare to enter into a world of Stilt, a world where every move counts. Prepare to enter, Speed World!" Goodwin sneered, his duel set-up appearing with a wave of his arm.
"And you prepared to enter a world of hurt Goodwin! "I'll take the first move." Crow moves ahead of his allies to take the first move. "Here goes, I summon Blackwing Mistral the Silver Shield in attack mode. And when a Black Wings out, I get to summon something else from my hand! Something that's really gonna get me a serious edge! And a sharp edge at that, I summon Blackwing Bora the Spear. I'll then place one card facedown and end my turn."
(Blackwing Mistral the Silver Shield: Atk: 100 Def: 1800)
(Blackwing Bora The Spear: Atk: 1700 Def: 800)
"Which means you get to go deal with me now!" Jack moves up in front to make the next move. All the duelists' SPC go to 1. "And I'll start by calling out Mad Archfiend!"
(Mad Archfiend: Atk: 1800 Def: 0000)
"Next I'll throw a face down, and call it a turn!"
"Alright, I'm up!" Yusei decided. " And your about to go down! 'Cause guess what? Whatever your planning, ain't gonna be happening! "
"Oh yes it will!" Goodwin thinks. "It's been in the making for 17 years. No that I knew back then..."
"You see, before my brother Roman released the power of the Ener-D, he gave me the mark of the dragon head, and explained that every five thousand years the Crimson Dragon and the King of the Netherworld do battle. Light against darkness, and this time my brother's body was the battleground.
"Two marks, one symbolizing each, embedded themselves in his flesh, but the Dark Signer mark soon began to take control of my brother. Soon he was swallowed by its power, but not entirely. Roman still understood the importance of the Darkness being kept in check by the Light. So... he went to great lengths to expunge the light from his system, and give it to someone he could trust: me. And with that he unleashed the power of the Ener-D reactor.
"Soon after, I did as my brother asked and prepared to fight the darkness by gathering you Signers, and the Dragon-Phoenix. And then as he so charged, I challenged him to a duel, light against the dark, the good against the wicked, and do you know what happened?
"I lost..."
{~Flashback~}
Goodwin fell to his knees and his Life Points drop from 1200 to 0. Roman approaches Rex and sees three Trap Cards Goodwin dropped, which he hadn't used; "Divine Wrath", "Mirror Force", and "Solemn Judgment". Seeing these cards, Roman understands that Rex wanted to lose on purpose. He grabs Rex by the shoulders, asking why he did it.
Rex replies that he wanted to be like Roman and that Roman could not win against Yusei. He says that their fates won't change; in another 5000 years those sharing the same fate would appear, use the world as the battleground for their Gods and eventually die.
Rex believes it to be his destiny to break this chain. He would do so using what Roman couldn't withstand: he will become a God and overcome fate. He must first die and wish earnestly, then take the arm Roman left him and use it as his own, possessing two Gods like Roman once did. Roman looks at his brother in concern. As Rex dies, a condor with glowing red eyes flies towards him, signaling his rebirth as a Dark Signer.
{~Present day~}
"So now you've finally understand. With the power of I've been given as the Dark Signer, I'll have the King of the Netherworld lay waste to all that there is! Then with the power of light I can have the Crimson Dragon rebuild the world in my image for me to rule!"
"You've lost it!" Yusei tells Goodwin.
"Wait a second, lay waist all that there is?! So then you're planning on destroying everyone and everything on earth?!" Crow doesn't like that idea.
"Sorry MR. Woompy World Dominator, but we're not gonna let that happen!" Jack refuses to allow Goodwin to do as he likes with his delusions.
Yusei points up to Rex, telling him he is mistaken. "That's right Goodwin, you may have the power of Light and Darkness on your side, but we've got something even stronger and it's something you can't just take!"
Goodwin grins. "Then tell me, what might that be."
"It's the power you get for fighting for what's right!" Yusei replies.
"Now then, I summoning Max Warrior in attack mode! Then I throw a facedown and end my turn." Yusei ending his turn.
(Max Warrior: Atk: 1800 Def: 800)
"Finally then it's time to show you the power of both Light and Dark."Goodwin starts his turn. All the duelists' SPC go to 3. Since he controls no monsters while his opponent's do. "First since there are monsters on your field, but not on mine, I'm allowed to summon forth Oracle of the Sun onto the field! And then I'll follow that by summoning the turner monster Fire Ant Ascator!"
"A Tuner monster?!" Crow shrieks.
"Not good!" Jack growls.
"Yes! You know what's coming don't you? Next my level 3 Fire Ant Ascator tunes with my level 5 Oracle of the Sun to Synchro Summon the one and only the beginning of the end for you three peons! The Sun Dragon Inti!"
"I don't know that thing doesn't look so tough!" Yusei said.
"Don't you worry, there's much more...next I remove the tuner monster Fire Ant Ascator from play I can summon Weeping Idol! Then by lowering my lifepoints by one thousand I can summon the dark Tuner Dark Tuner Dark Goddess Witaka from my hand!"
Crow: 4000
Jack: 4000
Yusei: 4000
Goodwin: 11000
"And now I'll activate Witaka's ability, with it I'm allowed to make her a level equal to the level of one Synchro monster that's out on the field. So since Sun Dragon Inti level is 8 Witaka's level becomes 8 as well. And now she's packing more heat. I'll have her Dark Tuner with the level 2 Weeping Idol! So you see just as I have both the power of Light and Dark my field will have it as well!"
"First it was the Sun Dragon, and now there was Moon Dragon Quilla!"
"But I'm afraid that Quilla won't be around for long. You see due to my Moon Dragon's special ability, it is destroyed during the end phase of my turn."Finally, Goodwin Sets two cards in his Spell & Trap Card Zone and ends his turn.
"So then why make such a production out of him coming out?" Crow waves his finger. "You really do have few screws don't ya? Oh well, this will be over soon enough! 'Cause this round we're putting the heard big top!"
Goodwin smirks. "Yes, the upcoming round should be quite interesting indeed."
Crow wonders what Goodwin is talking about. He chooses to ignore this and starts his turn. "Here goes nothing! First things first, I play the Speed Spell, - Tune Up 123! Thanks to this , I get to role a dice and then Black Wing's level increases depending what number I role."
The word "daice" appears on Crow's monitor, while an animation of a dice spins around. A chart containing an index on how much the Level will increase by appears on the right side of the screen. The dice stops on 2, so "Mistral's" Level goes from 2 to 3.
"Alright, Black Wing's level increases by 1. And I will use this Black Wing to tune my other one. Black Wing Bora the Spear! I think you know what happens next, a Synchro summon! That brings out; "Blackwing Armor Master!"
"And did I mention when a Black Wing is phased up on my field, I'm allowed to summon the following monster without penalty. That's right, Black Wing- Elphin the Raven, you can come on out!
With 2200 ATK to its side due to its effect to be Special Summoning if they are face-up Blackwing on Crow's field.
"Now Black Wing Armor Master, attack that Sun Dragon Inti! Soaring Shadow Strike!"
It shoves it's attack. Armor Master destroys Wedge Counter into the face of "Sun Dragon Inti" and survives the counter attack, due to its effect.
"Fool! Your Black Wing doesn't have enough attack point to win this battle!" Goodwin grins.
Crow smirks back. "We'll see about that! You see Black Wing Armor Master can't be destroyed in battle and any battle damage that accord will become zero!"
Next, Crow uses "Armor Master's" effect to remove the counter. The sun cracks up as the ATK of "Inti" drops to 0.
"But wait there's more! Whatever monster Black Wing attacks, is tag with a wedge counter, and once it wedges way inside, that monsters attack and defense points becomes 0 for the turn!"
"Meaning my other Black Wing Elphin the Raven can't miss!" Crow orders Elphin and leaves huge scratch marks in the monster, causing it to explode.
Goodwin's Life Points drop to 8800 and his SPC drops to 2.
Crow: 4000
Jack: 4000
Yusei: 4000
Goodwin: 88000
Goodwin laughs slightly. "I'm afraid that's where you're wrong Crow. There's no such thing as 'can't miss' not you you. And not the the so called Legendary man you've model your life after. Believe me, I know."
"What are you talking about?!"
"Hold on. Are you saying what I think you're saying?" Yusei connected the dots. "That you're..."
"You're HIM?!" Jack connect too.
"The one who build the bridge from Satellite?!" Crow was shocked.
"Back to the duel!" Goodwin ignores. "And to you're Elphin the Raven, because of any monster destroys Sun Dragon Inti is also destroyed and then you take damage equal due to it's attack points."
Crow: 1800
Jack: 4000
Yusei: 4000
Goodwin: 88000
Crow's Life Points and SPC drop as he cries out from the struck of lightning.
"Additionally, When Sun Dragon Inti is destroyed, I'm allowed to summon Moon Dragon Quilla from my graveyard."
Quilla, comes out again.
"You see Crow, even when you can't miss, you can still be destroyed. That's a lesson I learn the hard way."
"Yes, I am the one who tried to build that bridge from Satellite. I thought I too couldn't miss. But I wrong. And now I know that if you really want something ....you must do whatever is necessary to get it!" Goodwin tells them.
Crow refuses to believe it and let Goodwin shatter the legend he believed in.
"Not if it means hurting people! And that's why we're going to stop you, right here and right now!"
Goodwin raises his arm and causes the Marks of the Dragon to disappear from the arms of the Signers and everyone gasp.
"Hey look!" Yusei gasp.
"They're marks..." Asben couldn't finish.
"They're gone." Niro hissed
Clarice suddenly felt empty when Kyouwa and Asben got worried.
"Clarice!" they both hold her steady when she started to almost shut down.
"Oh no!" Kyouwa hold her close. "Without her birthmark, she's an empty hollow person. Yusei! Clarice needs her mark back if you don't finish this duel. She be gone forever!"
Yusei gasp and felt Clarice is slipping away. "Clar!" he glares at Goodwin. "Goodwin, you bastard!"
The marks join together as the full dragon symbol appear on his chest.
Goodwin laughs that he is the ultimate God.
"You see, I'll stop at nothing to rule all!!!"
