Being on a Duel Runner was full of pleasant sensations for a thrill-seeker like Summer Storm. The wind in her face, the city blurring by...the voice of Alien Gray saying something she couldn't make out at high speeds. He rarely had something to say that was important enough to bring up while Summer was getting her fix of thrills for the day. If he was trying to bring it up now, it had to be pretty important. At the next spot she saw that led off Turbo Highway, Summer made her way off the Turbo Duel-centric road and brought her hot red machine to a halt. Only after taking a moment to reorient herself (maintaining high speeds could be dizzying, after all) Summer turned to the long-fingered alien now perched on the front of her Duel Runner. "What was that you were saying?"

[i]"You appear to have forgotten that your tournament is today, Earthling."[/i]

"Oh, the G-Clock Open!" Revving up her engine again, Summer took off in the direction of the stadium. With any luck, she'd make it in time for her duel.

[i]The first duel is about to start.[/i] Alice directed her attention to the nearest screen. It was important to learn who she could be up against in this tournament, and pick out their weaknesses. That was another piece of valuable advice she was given before being dropped off at the stadium. It was also kind of common sense, at least to her. Something other DuelBots might not have picked up on, but that was the entire purpose of all the tireless effort to get the AI-1C3 scripts right, wasn't it? So that it could learn like a human. Well, now it was learning time. Neither Ian Rouse nor Alexander Nyne were names she'd ever heard before, but none of the names on the roster besides her own were especially notable to her. Even the runner-up from last year wasn't here; the one her AI and deck were modelled after.
