That is a pure white world.
A person whose hairstyle is particularly like a crab sits on a wooden bench, gazing at the scene ahead that resembles a desert.
The end of the world—
Don't want, absolutely don't want such a world to come...
"Yusei, Kiryu!?"
Crabhead slowly opens his eyes. In the sky, a blond man looks at the people on the ground and exclaims in surprise.
Jack Atlas is currently standing at the helicopter cabin door, looking down below. Aside from him, there are three other people in the craft: a Sector Security police pilot, his colleague Sagiri Mikage, and Carly Nagisa, a reporter following the explosive event records nearby.
At this moment, Jack spots Yusei, whose figure had been elusive on the ground, and further notices a familiar person laughing madly—Kiryu Kyosuke.
"Ah, hahaha, what day is today?" Kiryu sneaks a glance at Jack in the sky, scans Crow who had parked his vehicle on the rubble, then looks at Yusei, and laughs crazily, "The whole Vanguard is all here!"
His smile was far too creepy, instantly frightening Carly, who hastily asks Jack what's happening. Jack frowns but avoids a straight explanation.
Tenjo Hikari drives up to Crow's side, both parking their vehicles on the rubble, then glances across. Over there, Shinji, instead of joining the rioting resistance, awaits the beginning of the duel.
Yusei and Kiryu park simultaneously, and eerie purple flames ignite from this spot, forming a massive wall of fire.
Standing on the helicopter, Jack's eyes widen. Below, he sees a blue stature appearing on the ground in the form of Geo!
"Dark Sign..." His face turns sour.
On the field, Yusei remains utterly calm.
From start to finish, he hasn't taken off his helmet, hasn't left his vehicle since arriving. Obviously, he was prepared for the duel long ago.
But before this duel, which drags him into the battle with The One God, he still has something to say: "Hikari—"
Tenjo Hikari is a bit surprised to hear his name.
This is your old friends' reunion duel, why suddenly call me?
He thought this had nothing to do with him and was ready to take some time to calculate an Alchemy Formula.
"What's up, Yusei?"
"...After the duel, I'd like you to do me a favor." Yusei turns to Tenjo Hikari, raising his left hand with a hint towards Hikari's Dark Sign, "It's about your Dark Sign."
"Ha—that's great." Tenjo Hikari nods in agreement.
Sure makes things much easier.
"Still thinking about matters afterward, Yusei? But you don't have to, because you're going to die here soon! Hahahahaha!!" Kiryu laughs wildly and then presses the button on his D-wheel.
Yusei presses the button as well.
"Duel mode, activate!"
"3."
"2."
"...1!"
"Racing Duel! Accelerate!"
Boom!!
Both D-wheels start almost simultaneously, speeding over the giant Geo pattern below, seemingly identical, as if cast from the same mold.
Kiryu wears a cold smile, noticing Yusei unexpectedly keeping pace with him without any lag, slightly surprised but not too concerned. After two big laughs, he casually says, "Hahaha, since you're so eager to go first, I'll let you!"
He reduces his speed and upon turning the corner, Yusei gains the first move.
Fudou Yusei, LP: 4000.
Kiryu Kyosuke, LP: 4000.
"My turn, draw a card."
Yusei draws a card from his Deck and immediately places it into his Duel Disk: "Normal Spell Card, Tuning."
"From the Deck, add 1 Tuner Monster 'Synchron' to the Hand Card. Then, send the top card of your Deck to the Graveyard."
"I add Junk Synchron to my Hand Card."
After speaking, he glances at the Graveyard and squints slightly.
"If there's no monster on your field, you can Special Summon this card from the Hand Card. Come forth, Junk Vanguard!"
A warrior clad in armor made of discarded metal rushes out from the summoning aura.
Junk Vanguard, LV 3, Earth Attribute, Warrior-Type, ATK 900.
"Normal summon, Tuner Monster, Junk Synchron."
A yellow-armored warrior resembling a researcher appears on the field, arms wide open.
Junk Synchron, LV 3, Dark Attribute, Warrior-Type, ATK 1300.
"When Junk Synchron is summoned, you can revive 1 LV 2 or lower monster from the Graveyard in Defense Position. The Effect of the monster summoned with this effect is negated."
"I Special Summon Rush Warrior from the Graveyard."
Rush Warrior, LV 2, Wind Attribute, Warrior-Type, ATK 300.
"Hmph..." Observing Yusei's field, Kiryu already smirks coldly.
"Tune the LV 3 Junk Synchron with the LV 3 Junk Vanguard and Rush Warrior!"
Junk Synchron pulls its valves, and its body begins to blur, transforming into stars, floating beside the two monsters and becoming green light rings.
"Gathering wishes become the newborn star, became the shining path!
Synchro Summon!
Fly, Stardust Dragon!"
The wind.
Strong wind rises from the ground.
A gigantic dragon gleaming with starry light emerges from the wind, leaping into the sky and scattering beautiful star dust.
Stardust Dragon, LV 8, Wind Attribute, Dragon-Type, ATK 2500.
"Ha—is that your dragon as a Signer?" Kiryu laughs loudly upon seeing the monster, "Not bad, hahaha, truly not bad. This will satisfy me! Hahaha—"
