"I set one card face-down and end my turn."
Kira declared.
"At the end of your turn, the effect of the ’Interdimensional Matter Transporter’ you activated this turn is also over. The banished ’Dark Flattop’ returns to the field."
A wave of transparent dimensional energy rippled—the shadow of the pitch-black carrier once again loomed like Mount Everest, hovering ominously.
[Dark Flattop, Defense 3000]
"That carrier is what you protected at the cost of your own well-being, and now I’m returning it to you," Kira said with a faint smile. "Don’t waste this chance. Use its power to counterattack."
Off-field, Jack commented flatly, "That guy called Greiger is completely at Goodwin’s mercy."
"So it seems, at least for now," Yusei agreed. "But he still has a chance. This turn is Greiger’s last stand."
"Oh?"
Jack raised an eyebrow at Yusei, signaling a question—with his eyes asking, how do you know?
Yusei offered no explanation. "Just keep watching and you’ll understand."
...
Greiger’s voice boomed: "My turn, draw!"
Though appearing at a total disadvantage, his fighting spirit was undiminished. In fact, his hatred for Goodwin only grew. In this duel, his aces—painstakingly summoned—had been repeatedly bounced from the field. That feeling of having all his strength mustered but never being able to land a punch only fueled his resentment more, making him all the more eager to skin Goodwin alive.
And Yusei was right—he still had hope!
Precisely because he saved his mark as a Dark Signer and his ace boss monster, the "Dark Flattop," he had this opportunity for a counterstrike.
"Activating Speed Spell, ’Angel Baton’!"
Greiger revealed his strongest spell card.
"When you have at least two Speed Counters, draw two cards from your deck, then discard one card from your hand."
Greiger drew two, then discarded one from his hand.
"The card I’m discarding is ’Flying Fortress SKY FIRE’!"
He raised his muscular arm and roared:
"Dark Flattop’s effect! Once per turn: choose ’Flying Fortress SKY FIRE’ in my Graveyard, and Special Summon it to the field, ignoring summoning conditions!
Return to my side once more—
Flying Fortress SKY FIRE!!"
Beneath the flying carrier, a dark swamp appeared, like an ocean leading to hell. The carrier surfaced slowly, an immense mech rising from its depths to cruise alongside its mothership.
[Flying Fortress SKY FIRE, ATK 3000]
Jack was shocked. This Greiger guy really had some skills; the bomber returned to the field almost instantly.
"Flying Fortress SKY FIRE’s effect!" Greiger declared, "Once per turn, discard a card from your hand to destroy any card on your opponent’s field!"
He tossed a card to the Graveyard.
At this moment, Goodwin had two cards on his field: in the front row, Brionac; in the back row, a set card.
Greiger’s gaze flickered, considering briefly, before settling on the back row.
"Destroy the set card in the back row!"
The Brionac was strong but only had 2300 ATK and couldn’t interfere outside its turn—it was easy to defeat in battle. However, the back row’s unknown set was a greater threat.
