Yusei:...
in the stands
fans: Go home satellite we don't want you here and take your two reject friends with you
fans: booooo
Yanagi: Wow they're really mean Tanner
Tanner: That's because people from the satellite sector aren't regarded too well around here and besides it's suppose to be illegal to duel if you're from the satellite witch is weird because I didn't peg Goodwin to be the type of guy who would break the rules
Dawn:(angry) Grr don't listen to them guys
Luna: Yeah don't worry about it you're just as good as everybody else
Dale: I'll show everybody here just what we're capable of
MC: Now our last three duelists Commander Koda, the mysterious Shira and last but not least Officer Trudge
Garrett:(shocked) What Trudge
Dale: What's he doing here
Trudge: When I win this tournament then I'll be recognized as the best turbo duelist in the world you satellite scum
Dale: Yeah um not gonna happen Trudge
Trudge: We'll see you piece of trash
MC: And there you have it the eight participants which one of these lucky duelists will have the opportunity to duel Jack Atlas for the title of king
in the tower in the middle of the stadium
Lazar: Looks like the tournament is finally starting
Goodwin: It would appear so now we can finally find what we've been looking for
Lazar:(laughs evilly) gooooood

Trudge: Hey what's that suppose to mean
Yusei: Shira huh(walks off)
Shira:(chuckles)(walks away)
Leo: So I'm up against Dale first hey Yusei wait up(runs after Yusei)
Akiza: After I win this tournament Goodwin's plan will be no more(she walks off)
CK: Whatever(he walks off)
Trudge: You ready to turbo duel Garrett
Garrett: Any day Trudge any day
Dale: Good luck man(he walks off)
Garrett:(smirks) I won't even need it
Garrett and Trudge board their runners and go to the starting line
with Goodwin
Lazar: Do you really think officer Trudge can expose Garrett for the signer he is
Goodwin: Let's hope so Lazar
on the duel track
Trudge: You may have gotten lucky in our last duel but this time I will be victorious
Garrett: We'll see about that Trudge in fact I'm going to take you down in one turn
MC: this is unbelievable Garrett has declared that he will defeat Trudge in just one move can he do it
in the stands
Dawn: You better believe he can
Luna: Do it Garrett put Trudge in his place
on the track
Trudge: You think you're so tough huh satellite
Garrett: Well let's just duel and find out shall we
Trudge/Garrett: Let's ride
Trudge: I'm going first since you did last time(draws a card) and I summon Gate Blocker in def(4/100/2000) then I'll end with a face down you're up
Garrett: It's my move(draws a card)
speed counters G 0
speed counters T 1
Garrett: Huh why aren't my speed counters increasing
Trudge: Cause with gate blocker on my side of the field your game is stuck in neutral
Garrett: Whatever that doesn't matter to me I'm still taking you down on this turn
Trudge: I seriously doubt that
in the duelist lodge
Dale:(smiles) ready for this Yusei Garrett is about to show this whole stadium what the satellite is capable of

Leo: This is going to be awesome
in the stands
Dawn: Here it comes the one turn kill
Luna: Go Garrett
Yanagi: Show these people your true skills
Tanner:(smirks)
on the track
Trudge: Well Garrett I'm waiting
Garrett: Then here I come(draws a card) I'll start by discarding Quillbolt Hedgehog to summon Quickdraw Synchron(5/700/1400) and next I'm summon out Max Warrior in attack mode(4/1800/800) and now I can resurrect Quillbolt Hedgehog from my graveyard(2/800/800) and now I special summon Turbo Booster from my hand(1/0/0) and now Quickdraw is tuning with Quillbolt and Turbo Booster to synchro summon my Junk Destroyer(8/2600/2500) and now thanks to Junk Destroyer's effect all the cards on your side of the field are destroyed
Trudge: WHAT NOOOOOOO
Garrett: And now that thats out of the way I'll attack you directly twice to end this duel
Trudge: NOOOOOOOO(LP0) how could I lose
Garrett: Because you duel for selfish reasons Trudge
MC: this is absolutely amazing. Garrett has managed to beat officer Trudge in just one turn take a victory lap Garrett
Garrett: Don't mind if I do(he drives around)
in the stands

Dawn:(cheering the loudest of them all)

Lazar: Well Trudge certainly failed
Goodwin: It's alright Lazar for there is still time
dueling lodge
Leo: See see see I told you Garrett was the best
Yusei: We never once doubted you Leo
Dale: That's it Garrett way to duel
Akiza: 'It's that guy from before he's friends with Garrett the guy who actually beat me plus he has a mark'(she walks out)
Garrett walks past Akiza on his way in and gets a strange feeling
Garrett: 'What's this familiar feeling i get whenever I'm around her is she maybe the Black Rose Witch from before'
Dale: Hey bud great duel
Garrett: You really think so
Dale: No I'm being sarcastic
Garrett:(chuckles)
Yusei: Alright next up is Dale v.s Leo so good luck you two
Dale: Well that's our cue come on Leo
Leo: Yeah
they run out
Garrett: Yusei there's something you should know about that Akiza duelist
Yusei: Like what
Garrett: I think Akiza is the Black Rose Witch
Yusei: Well if that's the case then she's also a signer
Garrett: That's right Yusei we'll just have to find out when she duels
Yusei:(nods)
in the stands
Dawn: Alright next up is Dale dueling Leo
Luna: Go Leo
Tanner: Alright Dale show me what you got
Yanagi: I cant wait especially if Dale's as good as Garrett is
Dawn: Oh it'll be close
duel field
Dale: Ready Luna(winks)
Leo:(pretending to be Luna) You bet Dale
Dale/Leo: Duel
Dale: I'll go first(draws a card) and i activate the spell card Star Spirits now whenever one of my monsters are destroyed I get one star counter and when I have seven I can summon any monster from my deck
Leo: Wow
Dale: Now then I summon out my green koopa in attack mode(2/800/200) and his effect lets my deal you 400 points of damage per turn
Leo: Ah(LP3600) nice
Dale: I then end with a face down your go
Leo: I draw(draws a card) and I summon Morphtronic Celfon in attack mode(1/100/100) and now for his ability I can now roll a number and pick up that many cards from my deck and summon the first lv4 or below monster I find...and I rolled a 3 so thats 3 cards... awesome now I can summon Morphtronic Boomboxen in attack mode(4/1200/400) and while in attack mode he can attack twice so now I'll attack with him
Dale:(LP3600) now I get one counter(1)
Leo: Now he can attack again
Dale: Argh(LP2400)
Leo: And don't forget about Celfon
Dale:(LP2300) Well played Luna
Leo: Thanks I'll end with a face down
Dale: Then I go(draws a card) and I activate my Super Mushroom trap card so now I can remove my Green Koopa from play to summon a monster from my hand with twice his level therefore I summon out Mario(4/1700/1500) now I summon out Starman(3/0/0) and his ability lets me raise Mario's level by one(5) now I synchro summon my invincible Mario(8/3000/1000) now I attack Celfon with him
Leo: I activate Morphtronic defend to switch Celfon into def mode and to negate your attack
Dale: After I attack with my monster he is destroyed but then Mario is automatically returned to the field(4/1700/1500) so I attack Boomboxen with Mario
Leo: ahh(LP3100)
Dale: It's your move now and because another one of my monsters have been destroyed my spell card has now has 2 counters just 5 to go
Leo: I go(draws a card) now I sacrifice Celfon in order to summon Gadget Hauler(6/1300/0) now by sending any number of morphtronic monsters from my hand to the grave my monster gains 800 attack points and I send 2 so thats 1600 more points(2900) now I attack with him
Dale: Arg(LP1100) now I get one more counter(3)
Leo: Whatever I end my turn
Dale: Then I go(draws a card) and I activate the spell Triple Star Spirit now I can only activate this card when I have exactly 3 star counters on my side of the field
Leo: Okay so
Dale: Now this spell card gives me 4 more
Leo: 4 more!
Dale: Yup(7) and that makes 7 so now I'm free to summon any monster I want and I choose my fusion monster Giga Bowser(10/3300/3000)
Leo: Whoa that's pretty scary
Dale: Now I attack with him
Leo: ahhh(LP2700) not my Gadget Hauler
Dale: Now you take damage equal to your destroyed monsters attack points
Leo: I what(LP0) aw man I lost
Dale: Hey it was a good duel though
Leo: Yeah I guess you're right
in the stands
Luna: Whoa Leo lost that bites
Dawn: Yeah but he did his best and that's all that matters right
Luna: That's right Dawn
Tanner: So Dale has some decent cards to
Yanagi: I'll say so Tanner
with Goodwin
Lazar: So the little girl isn't a signer that's too bad
Goodwin: That wasn't Luna dueling
Lazar: It wasn't
Goodwin: Nope in fact it was her twin brother Leo
Lazar: We've been tricked then
Goodwin: It's okay Lazar for I have a plan
