Dale: Don't worry we'll both see him later tonight
Dawn: Okay where did he go?
Dale: To pick up an old friend of ours
Dawn: Who?
Dale: Yusei Fudo
We now join Garrett as he arrives at the facility. The facility is a place where criminals go to do time and then are shipped off to the satellite sector afterwards. People who have been to the facility are given these marks on their faces which usually consist of yellow lines generally
Garrett: so this is the facility, this place gives me the creeps I don't know why you're here Yusei but I do know you're not staying
the front doors open up
Garrett: Uh oh somebody's coming out I better hide
Garrett rides behind an alley way and Yusei walks out into the open
Garrett:(smiles) target acquired
Garrett rides out and stops in front of Yusei
Yusei: What's this, who are you?
Garrett: Been a long time old friend
Yusei:(shocked) Garrett is that you?
Garrett:(takes off his helmet) I don't know you tell me
Yusei: Hey Garrett been a long time(pulls back his arm)
Garrett: You know it Yusei(pulls back arm)

Yusei: So how have you been Garrett?
Garrett: Really great Yusei been improving my dueling skills as well
Yusei: Yeah you still using the same deck
Garrett: Of course I am
Yusei: That's great man
Garrett: Yeah I see Security finally got to you

Garrett:(nods)
Yusei: That's good is Dale with you or do you even know where he is
Garrett: Yeah I know where he is
Yusei: That's great I can't wait to see him again
Garrett: I bet you're looking for your deck and duel runner right
Yusei: Yeah do you have them
Garrett: Not with me but I had a friend of mine drop them off at my place
Yusei: Good that's one less thing I have to worry about then
Garrett:(chuckles) Hey if you don't have a place to stay you can stay at my place for no charge
Yusei: That sounds great Garrett
Garrett: Now let's go there's somebody I want you to meet
Yusei: Okay

Dale: To Garrett's house just hold on cupcake
Dawn: Daaaaalllleeee

Garrett: And here we are my house
Yusei: Pretty impressive Garrett
Garrett: Thanks the shop really helps a lot with the pay and stuff
Yusei: I'll bet
Dale and Dawn arrive
Dawn: Dale I'm going to kill you when we get there
Dale: We're here now so just calm down please
Dawn: Whatever(crosses her arms over her chest)
Garrett: I see you got my text okay huh(winks)
Dale: Yup thanks for the invite so when's the party start
Yusei: Right now
Dale: Yusei my man(runs over and gives him a fist pump) long time no see
Yusei: Yeah it's been awhile how've you been Dale
Dale: Just fine and you
Yusei: Well
meanwhile
Garrett: What was with all that screaming are you okay Dawn?
Dawn: Yeah I'm fine just really irritated at Dale
Garrett:(sweat drops) I know that feeling all too well
Dawn: So who's that
Garrett: That my friend is Yusei Fudo an old friend of mine and Dale's from back when we lived in the satellite
Dawn:(shocked) You lived in the satellite Garrett
Garrett: Yeah it was me, Dale, Yusei, this guy named Jack Atlas, Crow Hogan, Kalin Kessler and another guy we were the best of friends until my grandfather came and got me and Dale out of the satellite right before he died 1 year ago
Dawn: What's it like to live in the satellite
Garrett: It's a horrible place filled with criminals and thugs
Dawn: Oh that sounds terrible
Garrett: But even though growing up there was tough I still had my friends with me and besides the satellite will always be my home next to the city of course
Dawn:(laughs) That makes sense I guess
Garrett:(laughs) Yup that was I thought to
Dale and Yusei finish their conversation
Yusei: So your name is Dawn right
Dawn: Oh yeah that's my name
Yusei: Yusei nice to meet you
Dawn: Yeah you to Yusei
Yusei: So Garrett how about we go for a ride for old times sake
Garrett: You just read my mind Yusei
Dale: You guys go ahead I'm going to set up for the party(smirks)
Dawn:(giggles) Dale you're so stupid look at the text message again
Dale: What do you me- oh I see it now you sent me Jk at the end of that message
Garrett: Yup sorry Dale
Garrett and Yusei ride off
Dawn: Hey no need to worry Dale I'm sure there's something we could do here until they get back
Dale: Yeah I guess you're right
they do random things for awhile
that night Dale was outside working in the shop when he receives this strange invitation
Dale: Hey Dawn check this out(he walks back into the house)
Dawn: What is it?
Dale: An invitation
Dawn: Okay be more specific please
Dale: I've been invited to duel in a tournament known as the Fortune Cup
Dawn: The Fortune Cup?
Dale: Yeah it's a tournament where they have selected 8 random duelists from around the city and the winner gets to face off against Jack Atlas for the title of king of turbo duels
Dawn: So are you going to compete in the tournament?
Dale: You bet I am somebody needs to bring Jack to his knees for what he's done to me and my satellite friends and that someone is me
Dawn: What did he do I thought you guys were friends
Dale: That's what I thought too but one day he turned on us by stealing Yusei's duel runner and by taking his best card too. That's actually how Jack got into the city and now he's the current king of turbo duels
Dawn: Is that why Yusei came into the city to get his card back from Jack
Dale: Yeah
Dawn: Then go for it Dale go and get your revenge on Jack
Dale: Count on it Dawn
with Garrett and Yusei
Garrett: This is just like the old days huh Yusei
Yusei: Yeah you got that right
Garrett: Hey we better get back to my house Yusei or Dale and Dawn might start to worry about us
Yusei: You're right let's head on back
but suddenly a sector security limo stops in front of them
Garrett:(glares)
Yusei: What is going on?
Garrett: Your guess is as good as mine
a small man that looks like a clown steps out of the limo and walks up to Garrett and Yusei
Lazar: Hello gentlemen I'm on a special assignment sent by director Goodwin himself my name is vice director Lazar
Yusei: What kind of assignment are you on?
Lazar: Delivery here you are(he hands them both an envelope)
Garrett: What's this?
Yusei: The Fortune Cup?
Lazar: That's right a tournament that Goodwin expects the two of you to participate in
Garrett: This tournament what if we refuse to compete in it
Lazar: Then the four people you see in that photograph will pay for the damages the two of you have caused to the city good night gentlemen(he leaves)
Garrett: Photograph? No way that's
Yusei: Rally and the others
Garrett: Yusei I have a bad feeling about this
Yusei: I know we're being blackmailed to compete in this tournament and that's never a good sign
Garrett: Well we have to compete in order to protect Rally and the others
Yusei: We will but we have to be careful I don't know what Goodwin is planning
Garrett: Let's go tell Dawn and Dale
Yusei:(nods)
they head back to Garrett's place
with Dawn and Dale
Dale:(LP1700) now Mushroom Dragon attack Dawn directly(8/2800/2000)
Dawn: Nice try Dale but I activate my magic cylinder trap card so now you take damage equal to your dragons attack points
Dale: I use my dragon's ability to negate your trap card
Dawn: That I anticipated I activate my Ocean's Rage trap card to stop your ability by discarding 1 card
Dale: Oh no(LP0) aw man I lost
Dawn: Wow you really want to win that tournament don't you
Dale: Yeah I want to teach Jack a lesson
Garrett and Yusei pull into the driveway
Dawn: Looks like they're back
Dale: Good now I can train with Yusei
they walk inside
Dale: Hey guys guess what
Yusei: What is it Dale?
Dawn: He's just happy they invited him to participate in this thing called the Fortune Cup
Garrett: Oh no not you guys 2
Dale: Why what's the problem?
Yusei: We were asked to participate too only our invitation wasn't so friendly
Dawn: What do you mean?
Garrett: Take a look
Dale:(shocked) No it can't be
Dawn: What?
Garrett: If me and Yusei don't duel then our friends from the satellite pay the price
Dawn: That's not good
Dale: I bet Jack has something to do with this
Yusei: Whether Jack is involved or not it doesn't matter we do know that there is a reason Goodwin wants us in this tournament though
Garrett: So we best be careful
Dale: I'll call Blister and have him go over to the satellite and make sure Rally and the others are okay
Yusei: Good job Dale that's actually a step to the positive side
Dale:(nods)
Dawn: Well than if Goodwin is making this tournament for keeps then you three better start practicing up
Garrett: Good idea Dawn
Dawn: Count me in to help out as well
Dale/Yusei:(nod)
so the four heroes spend the rest of the night doing practice duels for the Fortune Cup
The next day we find Yusei awake with Garrett gone to get some supplies and Yusei is working on his runner
Yusei: There we go just a few more tune ups and that should do it
Tanner and Yanagi walk into the shop
Yanagi: Hey Yusei over here its Yanagi
Yusei: Hey guys I see you got out early
Tanner: Yup it's all thanks to you
Yanagi: Yeah when you out dueled Chief Armstrong we all got early release
Yusei:(nods)
Tanner: Nice runner can I take it for a spin
Yusei: Uh I don't think so
Tanner: How about we duel if I win then I get to go for a drive on that thing
Yanagi: Now this I got to see
Yusei: Alright deal
Garrett: What do we have to see?
Garrett wheels his runner in
Yusei: Hey Garrett I see you made it back alright
Tanner: Who's this
Garrett: I'm Garrett the owner of this fine shop and you are
Tanner: Tanner's my name
Yanagi: And I'm Yanagi
Yusei: These are my friends from the facility
Garrett: Cool now what was I about to miss
Yanagi: Yusei is about to duel Tanner
Garrett: You're right this I gotta see
downtown New Domino in the dueling area
Tanner: Alright Yusei are you ready
Yusei: You bet I am
Dale rides up to them
Dale: I figured I'd find you here(gets off his runner)
Garrett: You figured correctly
Yanagi: I'm Yanagi nice to meet you
Dale: Dale, back at you
Garrett: So is Dawn coming up here too
Dale: Yeah she said she'll be here in a few minutes
Garrett: Good
Dale: Sounds to me like somebody has a little crush on Dawn
Garrett:(smirks) You know you're jealous
Dale: Yeah right
Then suddenly a white wheel shaped runner comes up to the group
Garrett(smirks) Looks like we have some company
Garrett walks over to Yusei
Dale: So you decide to make an early appearance huh this should be fun
Dale walks over to Garrett and Yusei
Yanagi: Wait what's going on
Jack steps out of his runner and walks over to Yusei
Tanner: Atlas
Jack: Tanner
Yusei: What are you doing here Jack?
Jack: I just thought you'd want this for the Fortune Cup
Jack hands Yusei his Stardust Dragon
Dale: I see you're finally starting to redeem yourself Jack
Garrett: What is life as the king to easy for you so now they're making you do charity work
Jack:(shocked) Well now I see you decided to come to the city to Garrett and Dale I hope it's better then the satellite sector
Dale: So sorry to disappoint you Jack
Garrett: But the satellite just wasn't it anymore
Jack: Whatever I don't have time to talk to the likes of you anyways I have a world to save
Jack gets on his runner
Yusei: Wait Jack
Jack: What Yusei?
Garrett: What do you know about Goodwin threatening our friends and forcing me and Yusei to duel in this up coming tournament
Jack: I had nothing to do with it Goodwin has his own agenda
Jack drives off
Dale: Well we know that Jack's not involved at least
Yusei: That may be but Goodwin is definitely up to something and I don't like where this tournament is going
Garrett: I'm there with you Yusei something is definitely wrong with this picture
Dale: And what did Jack mean when he said he was going to save the world
Yusei: Well the night I came into the city I challenged Jack to a turbo duel and then in the middle of the duel a giant red dragon appeared and my arm started to glow and hurt really bad and I'm guessing that Jack felt that same pain too. It was then I was taken to the facility where according to Yanagi I'm whats known as a signer
Garrett: Yusei I saw that dragon and my arm was glowing and hurting also
Yusei: What!
Dale: What the heck is a signer?
Yanagi: A signer is someone who possesses what is known as the mark of the crimson dragon
Garrett: Okay like the one that appeared on my arm when I saw that red dragon
Yanagi: That's right Garrett, according to legend when all six signers come together the crimson dragon will be re-awakened
Tanner: And in other news what card did Jack give you Yusei
Yusei shows them his Stardust Dragon
Yanagi: Wow Stardust Dragon
Tanner: With a card that powerful you must be a good duelist
Garrett: Well I should know seeing as I have stardust dragon to
Yanagi: You have one to
Tanner: That's kinda amazing
Yusei: In fact both my deck and Garrett's deck are very similar when it comes to cards but with strategy they're completely different
Dale: That's the reason I could never beat either one of them
just then Dawn comes up to them
Dawn: Hey guys what I miss
Dale: Um a lot
Dawn: Oh
they get Dawn all up to date with the recent events
Dawn: So that's what happened
Garrett: Yup
Dawn: So if Yusei and Garrett are signers than shouldn't they be out saving the world
Yusei: We don't know for sure if we're signers yet or not
Garrett: And besides if Yusei is going out to save the world then I'm going with him
Dale: Me to
Dawn: Count me in as well
Yusei: Thanks guys
A kid with teal green hair and his friend come running up to Garrett
Leo: Oh my god it's Garrett I can't believe Garrett's actually here
Garrett:(confused) Yup I'm here
Dawn: Wait I'm confused
Dale:(sweat drops) I'm right there with ya
Leo: You're like my favorite duelist ever you even beat that jerk James in a turbo duel
Garrett: You saw that
Leo: Yeah I did
Garrett: Well than since you already know me how we introduce you
Leo: Okay my name is Leo and this is my best friend Dexter and I also have a twin sister named Luna

Yanagi: Hi kids
Leo: Cool oh did you know that I'm going to be in the Fortune Cup tomorrow
Dexter: Actually Leo Luna's going to be in the Fortune Cup tomorrow not you

Leo: You're in the fortune cup too Dale
Dale: Yup so are Garrett and Yusei

Garrett: Well the way we grew up friends were your key to survival
Dawn: Oh yeah I knew that
Yusei: Um Leo no offense to you or anything but why are you here this isn't a good place for kids to play
Leo: Me and my friend here are looking for the Black Rose Witch so he can duel her
Dexter: And I will beat her
Dale: Hey I heard about the Black Rose
Dawn: Really?
Dale: Yeah it's a legend that a witch walks around this area and challenges people to duels using real battle damage
Yanagi: Real battle damage
Tanner: No way
Garrett: Is that even possible?
Yusei: Who knows
Then all of a sudden roots come through the ground
Garrett: Guys look out
They cause a lot of destruction but luckily everybody gets out of the way
Yusei: Is everybody okay
Garrett: Yeah we're all good here
Dale: What was that?
Tanner: I've got no clue
Then Garrett, Dale and Yusei feel a sharp pain in their right arms
Garrett: argggg(drops to a knee)
Dale: What is with this pain(falls to both knees)
Yusei: It's the same pain as before when the crimson dragon appeared
Then all three of their arms start to glow red
Dale: Um is this normal guys?
Tanner: Whoa that's no tattoo
Yanagi: That's the mark of the crimson dragon you three are signers
Garrett:(arm glowing) Something big is happening
Yusei:(arm glowing) Yeah but what
Dale:(arm glowing) I have a feeling we're gonna find out
Yanagi: Look up there(points forward)
Yusei:(arm glowing) It's a dragon but isn't that a duel monster
Leo: Maybe it's the Black Rose
Dale:(arm glowing) Um guys where's Dawn
Garrett:(arm glowing) Oh no she's not here we gotta find her
Yusei:(arm glowing) I bet she's up there with that dragon
Dale: (arm glowing) Yeah that would be the most obvious place to look
Garrett:(arm glowing) Then let's get over there
they all run over there
Garrett:(arm glowing) Who's that
Leo: It's the Black Rose
Dale: So she is real
Tanner: I guess so
Dexter: Then I'm going to duel her

Yusei: (arm glowing) No you guys stay back let me and Garrett handle this
Dale: (arm glowing) Are you sure about this Yusei
Garrett:(arm glowing) Just trust us on this one Dale
Dale:(arm glowing) Alright then guys, kids let's back off for now
Leo: But I want to help to
Tanner: Come on
Dale, Tanner, Yanagi, and the kids back off a good distance
Garrett:(arm glowing) Why are you causing all this destruction?
Black Rose:(arm glowing) Because I'm trying to rid the world of people who have this mark people like you two

Dale: Look out(catches Garrett)
Dawn: Whoa is he okay?
