02x36 - Rush Duel Rescue / The Truth Behind the Kamijo Gear Company

[bunniefuu]

My name's Luke.

King Luke, the King of Duels.

Things in the dueling world
have gotten so crazy

that I decided to write a poem
about it to tell the tale.

Duelists are creating
new duels

with all sorts of new rules.

But that got everyone
in a fight

and even got my friends'
minds wiped.

They may have turned hostile
for a while,

but now that I cured 'em...

-they're nothin' but smiles!
-[exclaims]

So now while I take a sip
to quench my thirst...

[triumphant music plays]

[sighs]

It's cool to thank the King,

so who here amongst my court

wants to be the first?

Uh, thanks, Luke.

I think you got
most of it right.

Since when am I in your court?

And you're not
the King of Duels!

Eh, details.

[upbeat electronic
theme music plays]

[music ends]

There's only one last problem
we need to solve

and that's to save the world
of dueling from destruction!

Yeah, but how
are we gonna do that?

I don't know, but I know
you'll figure it out, Romin!

When facing a big problem,

it's important to go over
what we know first.

Every new duel is engraved on
Goha's duel server on the moon.

But since so many new duels
are being created,

the server can't keep up.

And if the server crashes,
all dueling will be gone.

[boy] Right, Yuga.

But I know how we can stop it.

Who's there?

Huh?

[dramatic music plays]

[tense, up-tempo music plays]

[grunts] My whole plan
is falling apart.

All these people
whose minds I erased

are getting
their memories back.

And now I feel like...
my own mind...

is being messed with.

What's going on?

What are these memories

that keep popping into my head?

And why do they make me feel...
happy?

[groans]

[ominous music plays]

[girl] Hello?

Car for Yuga Goha?

Huh?

It's nice to get to sit down
after walking all day.

Driver, who hired you
to pick me up?

Hey, you listening?

Just relax and enjoy the ride.

[coughing]

[grunts]

[ominous music plays]

Hey, anyone here?

[indistinct, overlapping
murmurs]

Good, you're finally awake,
sleepy head.

You sleep any longer,
people might mistake you

for a skeleton.

Well, I'm wide awake now.

You better let me go if you know
what's good for you.

Ooh, spooky.

My name's Ghostia Taxilina.

And you may talk tough
but you can't scare me

when I have them around.

Who's them?

Yum-yum-yum-yum!

Wah-wah-wee-woo!

Glub-glub-glub-glub.

[blows raspberries]

[imitates car horn]

-Huh?
-[eerie wailing]

[Ghostia] And if you're hoping
for your minions to save you,

they're tied up at the moment.

Why are you all doing this?

What do you want from me?

[overlapping sounds and murmurs]

They're doing this
because I asked them to.

[gasps]

It can't be you!

We retrieved every copy of the
Book of Sevens in the world

so we were able to find out
what's written

in the missing pages.

We now know the whole story
that inspired Otes

to do what he's doing.

There once was an old wizard
and a young magician

who had to save the world
from the Master of Chaos.

They were not strong enough
to defeat him alone,

so the young magician
traveled the world

to find other spellcasters
to aid them in their fight.

With his new allies,

he conquered all the chaos
on Earth.

But to truly bring peace upon
the land, they had to travel...

to the moon.

-The moon?
-Why the moon?

[Yuo] Because the moon was the
home of the Master of Chaos.

The spellcasters fought well,
but not well enough.

And they fell one by one.

That was when
the Master of Chaos

revealed his true identity.

And to the young magician's
great surprise,

he was the old wizard,

the one who had ordered him

to embark on this journey

in the first place.

"You may have defeated

all the chaos upon the land,

but I still have the chaos
of the moon to fuel me.

And with this power,
you will never defeat me."

"You're right,"
said the young magician.

"Unless I destroy the moon."

And with a tear in his eye,
that is what he did.

As the Master of Chaos vanished,

he whispered with a smile,

"With the end of this chaos,
a new world will rise."

-The end.
-[yawns]

I gotta be
totally honest with you.

I don't think any of that
really happened.

Of course it didn't happen.

The story is fiction, Luke.

One that inspired Otes.

If I understand the story,

I think the old wizard
is supposed to represent Otes.

Then that means
the young magician is...

Hm?

[she groans]

Aww, c'mon, it can't be me.

I have no plans to destroy
the moon

or destroy anything else!

I'm all about saving,
not destroying!

That's what I like to hear,
Yuga!

[laughs]

If you're all about saving,
then you better hurry up.

Because all the duel servers
are going to overload

any second now.

We have to find a way
to shut down all those drones.

But how?
Those drones are up there

while we're down here.

If I may, I have a solution,
but it will be quite risky.

As you are already aware,
whenever a new duel is created,

Goha's drones record it onto
their duel servers on the moon.

However, what you
may not be aware of

is that these drones
are still controlled remotely

by Goha down here in the city.

From down here?

Yes.

It seems they're tied directly

into Goha security systems.

So, if we shut down
the security systems,

we can shut down those drones.

Correct, but there is a problem.

Goha's security systems are
heavily protected with locks

and backups, and backups
for those backups.

And they will all have to be
shut down simultaneously

for it to work.

Is that even possible?

-Well, perhaps there is a way.
-What? There is?

-What is it?
-Yeah, what is it?

[gasps] Swirls?

-[gasps]
-[growls]

I didn't know
you were listening in.

I don't think that he can
hear you, Luke.

This looks like
a pre-recorded video.

[all gasp]

[Luke] He's all tied up!

You're right.

And look at who did the tying.

[dramatic music plays]

[both] It's Otes!

How is this even possible?

I thought I had erased your
memories when we dueled before!

You didn't.
I was merely playing the part.

I was acting.

Acting?

Everyone saw our duel

and I defeated you
fair and square!

-Didn't I?
-Yes, you did.

And everyone you defeat
loses their memories, right?

-[grunts]
-I'll take that grunt as a yes.

And it's all thanks to the power
of your special card,

Monster Reborn.

But what if I told you

that I'm the one
who created that card

in the first place?

You made it?

So that's why you were immune

to Monster Reborn's effects!

Playing with people's minds
isn't nice.

You of all people
should know that

since you experienced it
firsthand.

But I believe those memories are
slowly coming back to you.

What exactly do you want
with me, Otes?

I don't want anything from you.

Well, not anymore.

You've already served
your purpose

by helping me with my master
plan to destroy dueling.

If you hadn't urged
every duelist to fight

and prove that their dueling
is the best,

the dueling servers never
would have overloaded.

Now just relax.

You have a front row seat to
watch the end of all dueling.

But why, Otes?

Why do you want to put an end
to dueling?

-Since you asked...
-Listen up!

I'll tell you... when I'm done!

[exclaims]
Did he just hang up on me?

He did.

That's rude.

So Otes was manipulating
Yuga Goha

from the very beginning.

Not just my brother.

Otes has been manipulating
all of us.

Just like the old wizard
in the story,

he wants to destroy everything.

We really need to shut down

every single one of those drones
on the moon.

Hey, Nail, didn't you say you
had a way to stop those drones?

I do. It's you!

-Wha...
-Huh?

[Nail] To stop the drones,

every Goha security system
throughout the entire city

must be shut down
simultaneously.

And I heard you had
a unique power

that can shut down
electric devices.

Luke, you gotta do the biggest
zap-zap thing you've ever done

in your life and shut
the whole city down!

Think it will work?

I really don't know.

We've seen his Pauli power
work in small areas,

but never the whole city!

[wind howls]

Don't you worry, bro!

[dramatic music plays]

Here goes!

[grunts]

I'm shuttin' it all down, bro!

Huh?

-[Kaizo whimpers]
-Huh?

It looks like it worked.

Kaizo's down!

But he's the only one down.

You need to make it bigger!

Right!

[prolonged grunting]

[yelling]

[yelling continues]

[panting]

Hey! It's chaos in here!

Yeah, it worked!

[whimsical music plays]

It, like, totally won't stop
spitting out juice and soda!

Good job, Luke.

You zapped Kaizo
and one vending machine.

Did you three do all this?

If you were thirsty
you could have just asked

for some money!

Status update?

Not as good as we had hoped.

I see.

I detected something

that might be of help to us.

Yuga, can you please
go check it out for me?

Sure. Where to?

[gentle music plays]

The coordinates Nail gave us
led us directly to our school.

When Luke used
his Pauli effect earlier,

I detected an energy surge

from the exact spot
you're standing on.

If we are able to discover
the cause of that surge,

we may be able to increase the
strength of Luke's Pauli effect.

As mentioned, the surge came
from that exact spot

you're standing on,
except deep underground.

[Gavin] Everyone!

I was able to find
the original blueprints

from when the school
was first built!

There's a stairwell
that leads underground

in the middle of this lawn.

But I don't see one.

Maybe it's underneath the grass.

[Asana]
Let's find out, shall we!

[dramatic music plays]

It's the Heavy Cavalry
Duel Club!

Your friend Nail thought you
might need something dug up

and no one can dig
better than us.

Just point to the spot
and we'll get right to work!

Thank you, Asana!

[gentle music plays]

[Asana] We found a hatch!

Let's go.

[dramatic music plays]

I wonder what's at the end
of this stairwell.

[Luke] I don't know, bro, but I
bet it's gonna be awesome.

'Cause every time
we go underground,

there's always somethin'
awesome waiting for us.

And if Nail's right, it'll be
something that can help

with my Pauli power.

That's right, Luke.

Then you'll be able to stop
the drones and save dueling.

Yeah, you know it!

It's the end of the line.

This is the biggest vault
I've ever seen.

It is.
Anyone know how to open it?

The surge I detected originated
from behind that door.

[grunting] It's not budging!

Now don't hurt yourself!

[grunts] Who designs a door
without a doorknob?

One of my machines
could break down that door

except none of them
would fit down the stairs.

[gasps] Hey, look up there!

[Gavin] That's the logo
for Kallister Gears.

Does that mean
they built this vault?

Sure seems like it.

Luke, if your family

is the one
who built this vault,

then you must know a way
for us to open it.

So, you got any ideas, Luke?

Hm... Hey, there's some kind
of symbol here.

Huh. This looks familiar.

[gasps]

Luke!

-[screams]
-What are you doing here?

Causing trouble?

What am I doing here?

I'm not doing here!
I'm not even here!

Wait a second,
how did you get here?

Well, Luke,
there's another secret tunnel

to this location from our home.

What do you mean secret tunnel?

Well, if I told you, it wouldn't
be a secret anymore.

[laughs]

Anyway, aren't you happy

to see your sister again?

Yeah. Super happy.
Instead of scared.

I'm not scared at all.
Who said I was scared?

It's a pleasure to see you
again, Miss Asana.

Do you remember me?

It's me, Vance.

Of course I remember you,
Mr. Kallister.

Now, now, please call me Vance.

Mr. Kallister
is my father's name.

Why, I haven't seen you since
you were a wee little toddler,

or an ankle-biter
as they said in my day.

Though I don't know
why they call it that

since my ankles
have never been bitten by you

or by anyone, except for
that one time when I stepped--

We don't have time
for your tales.

The whole dueling world's
at stake

and we're in a rush
to save it!

Then it's a good thing
that we're here,

because we have the key
to open the vault.

Or should I say
that your sister does.

That's right.

[dramatic music plays]

[gasps]

It's the same shape.

-Hm.
-Correct.

The key to opening the vault
is our family heirloom.

Now, Tiadosia, if you will
gently insert the jade amulet

into the lock.

[all gasp]

[growls]

[yells]

[all scream]

[grunts]

[thunderous rumbling]

-[gentle music plays]
-[all sigh]

I asked you to be gentle.

That was gentle.

Okay.

Let's find out what's in here!

[dramatic music plays]

That's a lot of crates.

What's in 'em?

[grunts]
It's just a bunch of watches.

[Vance]
They're not just any watches.

They're Kallister Gear
brand watches.

The best watches ever invented!

Or they would be
if they weren't all broken.

It would have been a waste
to throw them out,

so we stored them down here.

So all of these crates
are full of nothing

but old broken watches?

[Vance] Yes.

I thought these looked familiar!

Is mine broken too?

Probably, but when I found one
I forgot to put away years ago,

I had to give it to you
as a gift

because I thought it would
look great on your wrist.

I guess it does look good
on me.

And you know what they say:

a broken watch is right
twice a day.

Do you see anything else
in there that might account

for the energy surge?

Nothing here but watches.

[Nail] How curious.

I was sure I detected
something.

[yells out]

This is a complete and utter
disaster, bro!

Instead of finding a way
to stop those drones

and save Rush Duels,
all we found

were a bunch
of tick-tocks that don't tick!

What are we going to do now?

Well, there's nothing
that you can do.

No, there's still something
I can do!

I can fix these watches
and sell them

and use the money
to buy a rocket

and fly to the moon
and then...

You'll do anything

but the one thing
you need to do.

And that's to give up.

Give up?

I know why you want to save
dueling, Luke.

It's because you only care
about yourself.

What?

You're supposed to take over

Kallister Gears.

But you won't

as long as you can
keep on dueling.

-[groans]
-And if there's no more dueling,

you won't be able to use
that excuse any longer.

And that's a good thing because
you were never that good

at dueling anyway.

What did you say?

That's going too far, Tialina!

How could you say that?

I don't know why you're acting
like this, Tiger.

You know that Luke
is a great duelist.

And we will find a way
to save dueling!

[laughs] You all need to face
facts and stop ignoring them!

You've already tried everything
to save dueling.

And where did that get you?

In a vault with thousands and
thousands of broken watches.

But they are actually
pretty stylish...

-Not now!
-'Kay.

[tense music plays]

-[Tiger] Yuga.
-Huh?

I hope you realize

that this whole mess
is all your fault.

Otes may have tricked everyone,

but you were the first
to fall for his tricks.

If it wasn't for you, none of
this would be happening.

Everything is all your fault!

-[gasps]
-[sighs]

[Luke] No, that's wrong.

None of this is Yuga's fault,

and you know that's the truth.

-Luke...
-Hm.

Yuga's doin' everything
he can to help everyone

but you're making him sound
like he's the bad guy!

That's not cool.

[growling through gritted teeth]

-So take that back!
-[both gasp]

What? I'm not going to
take back the truth,

'cause it is what it is.

And if you don't like it,

why don't you
make me take it back!

[groans, grunts]
Fine, I will!

Even though,
out of everyone in the world,

I know how tough you are.

You even proved it again
by defeating Yuga

in your last duel.

[gasps]

[screams]

[Tiger] That's right!
And I'll defeat you too!

So get ready to feel
what it's like to lose!

Now, now, now,
let's talk it out.

Perhaps over a, I don't know,
a nice--

-Stay out of this!
-Okay!

-[groans]
-[Tiger] Listen, Lucidien.

This is the final duel
you're ever going to have,

so strap on your Duel Disk
and get ready to battle!

Fine! Let's do this!

[intense dramatic music plays]

[both] Get ready for the Rush!

[music continues]

[music ends]

[upbeat electronic
theme music plays]
