Frozen Trouble

in the Satellite, in a junkyard we find four people standing around a TV

Nervin:(banging on the TV) come on work already we were in the middle of maybe the most important duel ever and you just stop working argh

Tank: Knock it off Nervin

Blitz: Well we did find the thing lying around in this junkyard

Rally: What a piece of junk

now Rally, Nervin, Tank, and Blitz are all long time friends of Garrett, Yusei, and Dale due to the fact that the trio lived in the satellite for most of their lives

then the TV comes back on

Nervin: Ah ha I got

TV[MC]: and after a series of key plays and good moves the crown has been passed to none other than the majestic shooting star from the satellite sector Garrett Hughes

Tank: Aw man we missed the ending of the duel

Blitz: Did I hear that correctly just now

Tank: Yeah they're all chanting Garrett's name

Rally: Then that must mean

Nervin: Alright

Nervin, Tank, and Blitz all jump around cheering

Rally: Garrett did it he beat Jack I just wish we could see him again though

Tank: Yeah ever since he and Dale left the satellite it's been way too quiet around here

with Goodwin back in stadium

Lazar: Ah is it okay that Jack lost tell me what is going on director

Goodwin: Who won and who lost is not important what does matter though is that the stars have finally begun to align come now I'm sure we have a confused crowd on our hands

they walk down to greet the crowd

in the stands

Luna: It's over Garrett's the new champ now

Leo: That duel was amazing

Dawn:(jumping around like crazy) I knew he would win the tournament he's the best yeah Garrett

Yanagi: Whoa Dawn settle down some you're so hyper

Dawn: That's because I'm just excited that Garrett won the tournament

Tanner: Alright guys let's get down there

they all run down toward Garrett, Dale and Yusei

on the track, we see Carly Carmine an amateur reporter talking into her camera

Carly:(talking into her camera) Here we are at the grand finale of the fortune cup where a local satellite duelist named Garrett Hugs has defeated the former champion Jack Atlas in a turbo duel and I-

Angela: Still trying to be a reporter I see

Carly: Grr Angela

Angela: So how many hits does that little web page of yours get a day

Carly: Tens of millions?

Angela: I seriously doubt that. Just leave the reporting to the real reporters oh and by the way his name is Garrett Hughes not Garrett Hugs see ya later

Angela leaves

Carly: Grr she makes me so angry sometimes. It's not fair that she has become a real reporter while I'm still living in my apartment. Huh wait a minute what's that on Garrett's arm(looks at the duel again on her camera)(gasps) whoa it's glowing I better talk to Goodwin about this

she runs off

on the track with Garrett, Dale, and Yusei

Garrett: Come on Jack talk to me

The doctors put Jack on a stretcher and take him away

Doctor: Don't worry Mr. Atlas is going to be fine we just have to run some routine tests on him. oh and congratulations kid

the doctors take Jack away

Garrett: Guys what are we going to do now

Yusei: We have to find out the reason behind that vision and stop it from happening

Dale:(sweat drops) Um Garrett you might want to turn around

Garrett: wh-

Dawn runs and jumps into his arms

Garrett:(catches her) Uh hi Dawn did you miss me that badly

Dawn: You did it, you did it you beat Jack

Garrett: Yeah I beat Jack

Yusei: So what's the news guys

Dale: Where is Luna is she okay

Leo: Yeah she's fine

Luna: I'm right here Dale

Dale: Good to see you back to normal kiddo

Luna:(smiles) Yup

Tanner: So you've really done it Garrett

Garrett:(sets Dawn down) Yeah that's the end of the Fortune Cup but I'm afraid a new battle is about to begin

Dawn: Why is there a problem Garrett

Tanner: Not yet there's not but boy that was one heck of a duel way to play Gar so where do we go from here

Garrett: Thanks and I'm not sure during that duel we had a vision of some sort and we saw the satellite being destroyed by a huge purple spider

Yusei: And we're going to do everything we can to stop it from happening

Yanagi: Uh Garrett

Garrett: What is it Yanagi

Yanagi: I think you've just made a new enemy

Dale: He has?

Garrett: I have?

Yanagi: Yup the media(points to a mad rush of people running their way)

Garrett:(shocked) OH GREAT!

Tanner: Guys quickly this way(runs to a tunnel)

Dale: Hurry up man

Garrett: No complaints from me

They run into an abandoned underground tunnel

Back at the stadium Goodwin is standing in front of a crowd of fans and reporters

Angela: Mr. Goodwin sir is it true that a satellite duelist is now the champion did he cheat to get the title of was it legit

Goodwin: The complete play by play of the duel will be released shortly but we can confirm that Garrett was indeed the champion of the tournament now if you'll excuse me I have very important matters to attend to

Lazar: Clear a path the director is coming through

Angela: But director you have more questions to answer

Carly: Um director Goodwin sir i have just one question; during the last duel it appeared as if Garrett's arm was glowing do you know anything about that

Goodwin: Glowing you say? I'm afraid we didn't see that maybe it was a glare in your camera now if you please

Goodwin and Lazar walk away

Carly: Goodwin's definitely hiding something and I'm going to find out what it is. Now let's see here I could ask Garrett about it but he's gone and disappeared and Jack is in the hospital so I guess...man I'll just figure this out later I suppose

she walks away

in the underground tunnel

Leo: Geez that was a close call

Dale: Yeah they almost ran right over us Garrett

Dawn: How did you know about this place down here Tanner

Tanner: Well a guy like knows about this stuff...that and Blister told me

Yusei: That reminds me I need call Blister and ask him how his search for our friends went

Garrett: Sounds like a good idea Yusei

Luna: Hey Garrett

Garrett: Yeah Luna

Luna: I don't know how but somehow I was able to see into that light and I saw the satellite being destroyed

Garrett: I think it has something to do with these marks of ours and how they all unite us together

Luna: What's a signer(looks at her arm)

Yanagi: Allow me Luna it all starts 1000s of years ago with this...

Yanagi rambles on and on

Luna:(sweat drops)

Dale:(chuckles)

Dawn:(sighs) Oh my

Tanner: Alright guys here we are we're back in the city

Yusei: I think we should head over to Blister's place for awhile just until things start to cool down

Tanner: Alright Yusei then that's just what we're going to do. Leo and Luna you should probably stay with us too

Leo: Alright it'll be like an all night dueling sleep over

Luna:(sweat drops) god Leo give it a rest would ya

Dale: Nah it's okay. Leo I accept your challenge

Leo: Alright!

Blister's apartment awhile later

Yusei: Blister how's the search going

Blister(on the duel runners screen) I can't find them anywhere its like they just vanished but I'll keep looking for them

Garrett: Alright thanks Blister

Blister: No problem guys

Yusei clicks off his runner

Yusei: What if Goodwin got to them

Garrett: He said he would release them if I dueled against Jack

Yusei:(nods)

Tanner: Hey guys come and check this out. Yanagi wants to show you something

Garrett: Huh I wonder what it is

Yusei: No clue

They walk into another room and see Yanagi drawing something so they walk over to him

Yusei: What is it Yanagi

Dale: Look familiar guys

Yusei: Yeah it looks like the same thing that appeared on your back Garrett

Dale: Exactly right Yusei

Garrett: So is that the full seal of the crimson dragon

Yanagi: Now keep in mind that I only saw it the one time and I'm no artist but the dragon seal looks something like this

they all see the dragon seal

Garrett: Hey that looks like my mark right there on the tail

Dale: And mine too

Yanagi: Legend says that the crimson dragon was broken up into six different parts. Which are the original parts that each of the signers have

Yusei: So that means I have the body mark

Luna: And mine looks like the front claw

Dale: And Jack's would be the wings right

Yanagi: Looks like it Dale

Yusei: That means that Akiza has the back claw mark

Leo: Wait I'm confused I thought we needed all six signers to awaken the crimson dragon we only have 5 there's Garrett, Yusei, Jack, Luna, and Akiza

Yanagi: I guess the 6th signer was there somewhere in that stadium

Dale: But who could it be?

Yusei: I couldn't tell you

Leo: Maybe it's me! Maybe I have the head mark somewhere

Luna: Yeah I doubt that Leo

Leo: Hey it could happen

then Luna passes out but Tanner catches her

Dawn: Whoa is Luna okay?

Leo: Luna

Dale: It's alright she just fell asleep

Tanner: Well that's understandable we've all had a crazy couple of days let's all get some rest

Dale: Alright see ya guys tomorrow morning

Dale walks into another room

Dawn: Good night everybody

she exits for bed too, soon everybody follows suit but during that same night right outside Blisters apartment

SD: It's time heh heh heh(he activates his mark and a purple spider starts to glow on his arm)

inside the apartment

Garrett: There it looks like everybody is asleep now(finishes tucking in Dawn)

Yusei: I'd say so

Garrett: Oh yeah before I forget here's your card back it really did help out against Jack

Yusei: I thought it would

Garrett:(Nods)

they both see a flash of bright purple come from outside the window and then their marks activate

Garrett: Urgh it feels like my mark is warning me of some sort of darkness

Yusei: What is it then

Garrett: I don't know let's go look

they walk over to the window and notice the guy with the spider mark

Garrett: Yusei look down there

Yusei: Is that the sixth signer

Garrett: Let's go find out

they walk outside and the guy takes off running

Garrett: He's taking off

Yusei: Hey wait up

Garrett and Yusei chase the guy into a parking complex

Garrett: Hey stop running... you're cornered now

Yusei: Are you the last signer?

Garrett: Yusei look at his arm

Yusei: A purple spider just like from the vision

Garrett: I've got a bad feeling about this Yusei

SD: I am a Shadow Drone and if you want answers than my master says that you must duel me for them

Garrett: Of course he does

Yusei: Why am I not surprised

SD: If you 2 signers think you can protect this world from the darkness then why don't I take on the both of you

Garrett: Sounds good to me

Yusei: Alright buddy you got yourself a duel

then a purple ring of dark energy surrounds all 3 of them

Garrett: What's with this purple ring

Yusei: What have we gotten ourselves into Garrett

Garrett: Your guess is as good as mine Yusei

up on the highway

Carly:(sees the flash of purple in the parking complex) What was that...huh

the duel energy reader in her car goes haywire

Carly: What's this! There's a duel going on down there and the readings never get this high. I better get down there and check this out

she arrives at the parking complex and gets her camera out

Carly: What's going on down here...hey it's Garrett and Yusei and they're dueling...a guy with a glowing purple arm...wait a minute glowing arm so Garrett's arm does glow red and by the looks of it so does Yusei's and why is there a purple ring around them this just got interesting(she starts filming)

with the duel

SD: I'm going first(draws a card) I summon Blizzard Lizard to the field in def mode(3/600/1800) now i end my turn with this face down card

Garrett: Then I guess I'm up(draws a card) and I activate the spell card Tuning so by sending the top card of my deck to the graveyard I can add Junk Synchron to my hand. Now I summon him(3/1300/500) now with his ability I can bring back a level 2 or lower monster from my graveyard so I bring back Speed Warrior(2/900/400) now I synchro summon Junk Warrior(5/2300/1300) now then give this guy a warm welcome use scrap fist

SD: I use Blizzard Lizard's ability if it's destroyed in battle you take 300 points of damage

Garrett: Ahhhhhhh(LP3700)

The parking lots floor gets destroyed

Yusei: Garrett you okay?

Garrett: Yeah this guy duels with a similar power that Akiza uses but somehow it's different

Yusei: Look at the floor Garrett

Garrett: What did my attack cause real battle damage

Yusei: I bet that's what this ring is for

SD:(laughs) You catch on quick signers

Garrett: Oh I see now Mr. Chuckles O end with a face down card you're up

SD: Then on my turn(draws a card) I activate my face down card Call of the Haunted to bring back Blizzard Lizard(3/600/1800) now i activate the Ice Mirror spell card to summon out another Blizzard Lizard(3/600/1800) now I play this

Yusei: Another Ice Mirror spell

SD: That's right(3/600/1800)

Garrett: Doesn't this guy know that 3s a crowd

SD: Then let me make some room by releasing 2 of them to summon out dark tuner Catastrouge(8/0/0)

Garrett/Yusei: A dark tuner!

SD: That's right just like how your monsters combine to synchro summon mine feed off of one another's negative energy

Yusei: Negative energy

Garrett: But I thought negative energy was only a theory

SD: Nope negative energy is very real now let me demonstrate.. when shadows are devoured by even darker shadows the curtain pulls back to reveal a world without light I dark synchro summon Frozen Fitzgerald (5-/2500/2500)

Garrett: A dark synchro summon what is this

Yusei: Who are you, are you working for Goodwin

SD:(chuckles) Him not quite now i activate the power of my catastrogur your Junk Warrior is now destroyed

Garrett: Junk Warrior nooooo

Yusei: Man this isn't good

SD: Now I attack you directly with Frozen Fitzgerald

Garrett: Not quite I activate my trap card

SD: Too bad my monster prevents you from doing that

Garrett: WHAT! Ahhhhh(LP1200)

Yusei: Garrett!

Garrett:(in pain) Yusei we have to find away around that monster of his or this duel is over

Yusei: Alright then it's my turn(draws a card)

Garrett: Now i activate my trap card Call of the Haunted to bring back Junk Warrior(5/2300/1300)

Yusei:Wwell in that case I'll just trade him in for something with a just a little more horse power like my Turret Warrior(5/1200/2000) now he gets all the points of Junk Warrior(5/3500/3300) now let's see your darkness stand up to 2000 watts of light... attack

SD: urgggg(LP3000) whenever Frozen Fitzgerald is destroyed he comes right back to the field in def mode (5-/2500/2500) and also your attacking monster is automatically destroyed

Yusei: Urgh man this guy just won't quit

Garrett: And if we lose this duel then that vision of the Satellite could come true

SD: The shadows can sense your fears and just like my monster the dark signers will always win

Yusei: WHAT! Is that what you are

Garrett: A dark signer!

SD: Don't act so surprised light and dark are two sides of the same coin my friends we are the same

Garrett: Sorry we never got the membership kit

SD: Amusing but will you find it as funny when your world is destroyed

Garrett: So that vision was true

SD: That's right the dark signers posses a power that will erase the light of your mark and everything you hope to save with it

Yusei: Not on my watch bud it's still my turn and I activate the spell card One for One so by sending one monster to the graveyard I can summon out Sonic Chick in def mode(1/300/300) now i end with one card face down its your move now

Garrett: Be careful Yusei he's planning something

Yusei:(nods)

SD: It's my turn now(draws a card) i equip my monster with Drain Strike so now when I attack all those extra attack points aren't just thrown away in fact half of them replace my LPs while you get the other half as damage

Garrett: Grrr

Yusei: This might hurt a little

SD: Now attack

Yusei: Ahhhhh(LP100)

SD:(laughs)(LP4100)

Garrett: Hang in there Yusei

Yusei:(gets up)

SD: Just face defeat you 2 you can not win

Garrett: Yeah well we'll just see about that(draws a card)

Yusei: I got your back Garrett

Garrett: Thanks Yusei. I summon out Nitro Synchron(2/300/100) now i can bring back the Quillbolt Hedgehog that Yusei just sent to the graveyard last turn(2/800/800)

Yusei: Now I activate my face down card Graceful Revival to bring back Garrett's Speed Warrior(2/900/400)

Garrett: Now all four monsters tune together to synchro summon Nitro Warrior(7/2800/1800) and because of Nitro's effect I'm now allowed to draw one card(draws a card) nice I equip my monster with one of my favorite spell cards Junk Barrage now when I destroy your monster in battle you take damage equal to half its attack points and because I activated a spell Nitro Warrior gains 1000 attack points(3800)

SD: Urg

Garrett: Now attack Nitro

SD: ahhh(LP2800)

Garrett: Now you're hit with Junk Barrage and my monster returns to normal(2800)

SD: Ahhh(LP1550) so what now my monster returns to the field in def mode(5-/2500/2500)

Garrett: Now Nitro can switch it into attack mode and attack again

SD:WHAT!

Garrett: Go

SD: Ahhhhh(LP1250)

Garrett: And you take damage thanks to Junk Barrage

SD: Ahhhhhhh(LP0)

The shadow drone falls down and loses his cloak also the ring disappears and the marks stop glowing

Yusei: Phew that was a close one. Good move there Garrett

Garrett: Hey I couldn't have done it without your help Yusei

Yusei: Let's go and get our answers

They run over to the guy

Carly: Whoa it looks like Garrett and Yusei just won the match and I got it all on tape I just got the scoop of the century

Yusei: Hey bud get up

Garrett: You owe us some answers so start talking

guy: Start talking about what who are you what am I doing here

Yusei: But I don't understand tell us what your spider mark has to do with the Satellite

Garrett: Yusei look

The dark tuner and dark synchro cards vanish from his deck

Yusei: They just vanished

Garrett: We better get back Yusei the suns starting to come up and just look at all this damage

Yusei: You're right

Carly walks up to them

Carly: Um hi I was wondering if I could maybe get an interview with you after all you did win the Fortune Cup

sector security arrives

Garrett: Maybe later right now I got to go

Yusei and Garrett run off

Carly: Wait don't go I have more questions

Security: You're under arrest for all this property damage

Carly: What no I didn't do it

Security: Come with me please

They take Carly away

The next morning Garrett and Yusei return to the apartment

Tanner: Hey where'd you 2 run off to last night I was getting worried

Garrett: There was a really strange guy outside and we followed him

Tanner: Did he challenge you guys to a duel

Yusei: He did and he was being controlled by a group called the Dark Signers

Tanner: Wait did you say dark signers

Garrett: He had a mark and it glowed like ours but it was in the shape of a spider

with Goodwin

Goodwin:(watching the video of the shadow drone duel) So it appears that the dark signers have finally made their move

Lazar: These guys could present a problem

Goodwin: If they want to fight me fine but they'll get more then a battle they'll get a war

Blister's apartment

Dawn: Any luck you guys

Garrett:(on the computer) Nope we can't find anything on spider marks anywhere

Yanagi: I'm sure you guys will find a way to save the satellite

Yusei: Count on it Yanagi but first we have to get some anwsers and only one person has them

Garrett: I'm afraid so

Dawn: And who is that

Yusei: We're going to talk to Goodwin about this

Leo/Luna: What but you can't

Dawn: Yeah you can't trust Goodwin after what he did to your friends

Garrett: Dawn he have no choice he's the only one that knows what's going on and we need some anwsers if were going to stop this darkness

Yanagi: Just be careful out there you guys

Leo: Yeah what if you guys get hurt or something it's not safe out there for you

Yusei:(bends downs and puts his arms around Leo and Luna) It will be okay I've already arranged for some back-up

Garrett: Who should be here by now

Dawn: Who is it?

Outside the apartment

Trudge: Alright you guys I got your message so get your decks and get down here right now

Apartment

Tanner: Trudge is your protection

Garrett: He's much more than that

Yusei: If he can get us to Goodwin safely then we just might have to call Trudge one of the good guys

Dawn:(hugs Garrett) Just please don't get hurt out there

Garrett:(hugs Dawn) Don't worry I won't

Yusei: Tanner, Yanagi I want you 2 to watch Leo and Luna until I get back okay

Tanner: Don't worry Yusei you can count on us

Yanagi: Yeah we won't let you down

Garrett: And Dale I want you and Dawn to stay at the twins house as extra support

Dale: 10-4 good buddy

Dawn: You can trust us no need to worry

Garrett: Alright you ready Yusei

Yusei: Yeah let's head on out

They walk out the door to an impatient Trudge
