Summary
Lowering the gain of counters
Trudge and Martha dash through the streets in search of Takuya, Shun and Micchan. Takuya, alone in a building, worries about being separated from the other two, while Shun and Micchan fear for their lives as they bear witness to Yusei’s Shadow Duel with Rudger.
With Rudger’s Trap “Altar of the Bound God” signaling the advent of his Earthbound Immortal, Yusei makes note that he must end the Duel before it gains its 4 counters and the Immortal is Summoned.
Rudger begins his turn and 1 of the fires lights up on “Alter of the Bound God” as it gains its first Earthbound Immortal Counter. Rudger Summons “Ground Spider” in Defense Mode. Yusei becomes anxious as the number of Defense Mode monsters dictates the amount of counters the Altar gains. Rudger Sets 1 card in the Spell & Trap Card Zone and ends his turn.
Yusei begins his turn and analyzes the situation; he needs to lessen the amount of Rudger’s Defense Mode monsters, but if he does that by destroying them in battle, “Spider Web Field” will switch his monster to Defense Mode.
Yusei uses “Road Warrior’s” effect to Special Summon “Speed Warrior” from his Deck. Using “Ground Spider’s” effect, Rudger switches “Speed Warrior” to Defense Mode. With 3 monsters in Defense Position, Akiza worries that Rudger will be able to Summon his Earthbound Immortal next turn. Yusei activates “Advance Draw”, Releasing “Road Warrior” and drawing “Iron Resolve” and “Turret Warrior”. Rudger sees this as a desperate move to lessen the amount of Defense Mode monsters. Yusei then Releases “Speed Warrior” to Special Summon “Turret Warrior”, whose ATK rises to 2100. Using its “Revolving Shot” attack, Yusei has “Turret Warrior” attack “Ground Spider”. “Spider Web Field” switches “Turret Warrior” to Defense Mode. Yusei Sets 1 card in his Spell & Trap Card Zone and ends his turn, having reduced the number of Defense monsters to 1.
Trudge and Martha arrive at the flaming geoglyph and enter a building to get a better view. Inside they see that Yusei dueling Rudger and then spot Shun and Micchan inside the geoglyph. Akiza calls up to Martha and Trudge to warn them that the boys will be sacrificed if the Earthbound Immortal gets Summoned. Martha starts to panic and yells at Yusei to stop playing around and save the children.
The Earthbound Immortal
Rudger begins his turn and the second flame lights up on the Altar. He compliments Yusei on stopping him getting all 4 counters this turn, but activates “Offerings to the Bound God”, which places the final 2 counters on the Altar at the cost of half his Life Points. Rudger’s Life Points drop to 1700. The Shrine implodes and blasts a purple beam into the sky. Inside the beam the Earthbound Immortal heart appears and begins to beat as it sucks up the black fog. Rudger explains that the black fog contains the souls of the Satellite residents, which he is now using to Summon his Immortal.
Yusei starts to sweat and looks over to Shun and Micchan who begin to transfigure into purple light. As everyone starts to worry that it’s too late for the boys, Jack appears on the scene on his Duel Runner. He ramps through the flames and makes his way over to the boys. He exits his Runner and puts his arms over the boys. His birthmark emits a bubble which protects the boys.
Rudger calls forth his Earthbound Immortal, “Uru”. A large black and glowing red spider rises up from a sea of purple flames. Uru stands behind Rudger and higher than all nearby buildings. Leo, Luna, Mina and Blister appear on a nearby rooftop to witness the Duel. Jack tells Yusei to hurry up and crush the Dark Signer.
Rudger laughs at their naivety with regards to facing an Earthbound Immortal. The Earthbound Immortal stands above all else, he says, just like the ultimate energy Enerdy. He fins it amusing to be facing none other than Dr. Fudo’s son. Yusei questions Rudger about how he knows his father and learns that Rudger, along with his brother Rex Goodwin were his assistants at M.I.D.S. Rudger tells Yusei that it was Dr. Fudo who ordered the development on Enerdy be stopped, due to the dangers associated with its negative rotations. Their sponsors and New Domino wouldn’t allow that and placed Rudger in charge of the project. After that Zero Reverse happened. Yusei asks Rudger is he intentionally set of that explosion. Rudger laughs and replies “who knows”. Yusei loses his patients and demands Rudger to answer why he did it and what went on between Rudger, Goodwin and his father.
Rudger says Yusei doesn’t have enough time to hear the answer and orders “Earthbound Immortal Uru” to attack Yusei directly.
Sacrifice
"Uru" attacks Yusei, using its “Hell Thread” attack, “Uru” attacks Yusei, which Rudger believes will finish Yusei off. However Yusei activates his Trap, “Iron Resolve”, paying half his Life Points to reduce the damage from the attack to 0 and end the Battle Phase. Rudger Sets 1 card in is Spell & Trap Card Zone and ends his turn.
The building Martha and Trudge are in begins to shake. Trudge grabs Martha before she falls over and hears Takuya cry out overhead. The two of them make their way up to the roof, where they find Takuya.
The rooftop slopes down, with Takuya on the lower end and Trudge and Martha at the higher part. Martha begins to climb down and makes her way to the boy. Takuya apologizes, but Martha says its okay, as he must be brave in order to join Security. Trudge reaches out his hand and helps Takuya into the doorway, but Martha slips and slides to the other end of the roof. She tries to climb back up, but slides down again. She shakes her head and smiles realizing that she can’t escape. Trudge tells her not to give up, but Martha calls back, telling him to take care of Takuya, he is his hero after all. Trudge admits that he’s no hero as he would often insult people from Satellite.
Yusei and Jack call up to Martha. She shouts down to them that have been such good boys and she’s sure that they will build the bridge between the city and Satellite. She then slides down and falls off the edge of the building. Before hitting the ground, her body transfigures into a blob of light, which is sucked into the Earthbound Immortal.
Trudge and Takuya begin to slip down the roof, prompting everyone to tell Yusei to hurry up and win the Duel. Rudger laughs that this in incredibly delightful. Enraged Yusei says he can never forgive Rudger and begins his turn.
Yusei Summons “Junk Synchron” and uses its effect to revive “Turbo Booster”. Tuning “Junk Synchron” and “Turret Warrior”, he Synchro Summons “Stardust Dragon”. Rudger teases “Stardust Dragon’s” lower ATK, but with the wishes of his friends and Martha hanging in this Duel, Yusei swears he’ll defeat Rudger. Since “Uru’s” effect disallows it being selected as an attack target, Yusei can attack Rudger directly. With its “Shooting Sonic” attack, “Stardust Dragon” attacks Rudger. Rudger activates “Spider Egg”, negating the attack and Special Summoning 3 “Spider Tokens”. Yusei Sets a card in his Spell & Trap Card Zone and ends his turn.
On the rooftop, Trudge manages to make it back to the doorway with Takuya and reports to Yusei. Yusei nods and turns to Rudger, saying all that’s left now is to defeat him.
Substitution
Rudger laughs and changes into a purple glow, as he replaces himself with Rally. Rally stands motionless, bearing the spider dark mark and holding Rudger’s Duel Disk. Yusei starts to run over to Rally, but is stopped as he hears Rudger laughing. He looks up and sees Rudger standing on top of the web from “Spider Web Field”. Rudger remarks how it is ironic that another friend Yusei must save was here. Yusei damns Rudger for controlling Rally. However Rudger says that Rally’s will is free and he may fight if he wants to fight and lose if he wants to lose, but surrendering is not an option.
Rally’s free will is returned and he informs Yusei that the loser of the Duel will disappear. He says that Nervin, Tank and Blitz are all gone and it’s the Dark Signers fault.
Rally draws as he begins his turn, dueling in Rudger’s place. Yusei tries to stop him, but Rudger laughs and tells Rally to fight, so he can survive. Using “Uru’s” effect, Rally Releases 1 “Spider Token” to take control of “Turbo Booster”. He then Summons “Turbo Rocket”. Yusei catches on to what Rally is doing and tells Rally to stop and attack him. Rally says he can’t attack him, as Yusei is the hope of Satellite. Tuning “Turbo Booster” and “Turbo Rocket”, Rally Synchro Summons “Turbo Cannon”. He explains that “Turbo Cannon’s” effect destroys 1 monster and causes the controller to take damage equal to its ATK. He announces that he’s using its effect to destroy “Earthbound Immortal – Uru”
“Turbo Cannon” rises up and hovers across from “Uru”. Using its “Final Shot” effect, “Turbo Cannon” blasts the Immortal, causing it to explode. Rally’s Life Points drop to 0 and he’s thrown back. Yusei races over and catches Rally. Rally tells Yusei to protect Satellite, before turning into black fog and crumbling away.
Confrontation
Yusei screams out Rally’s name, as the webs and geoglyph disappear. Leo, Luna, Jack and Trudge dash over to him and the five Dark Signers appear overhead. Rudger says that it was quite an interesting show, but this is where the battle between the Signers and Dark Signers comes to breaking point. Demak says that the battles will be decided by the stars of fate, Kiryu feels the Yusei hasn’t conquered his fear of Earthbound Immortals and laughs manically that there’s still plenty of fear for him.
Yusei stands up and admits that he is afraid; afraid of his rage over how much he wants to beat them.
