Have you accepted the power of my Millennium Necklace, yet, or do you still deny that I have already foreseen your defeat?
JoeyKaiba's Dark Gremlin's standing there doing nothing when everyone knows it's stronger than her monster. So why isn't Kaiba attacking?
Maybe Kaiba doesn't want to attack yet.
Joey
That doesn't sound like the Kaiba I know, Yuge.
Yes, well, Kaiba's in quite a tough situation here. He wants to summon his Egyptian God card, but he doesn't have enough monsters to sacrifice, so, he may be planning to sacrifice Ishizu's monsters instead.
Joey
Oh! So that's why he's not attacking her.
[thinking] There's only one way for me to win this! I must summon Obelisk the Tormentor! Ishizu will cower in fear before the very Egyptian God card she gave to me!
And now, I summon Zolga, in attack mode! [thinking] Soon, Kaiba will sacrifice my monsters to summon Obelisk, continuing his path to defeat.
[thinking] I may only have a few cards left in my deck, but I have everything I need in order to win this duel!
Kaiba, listen to me! You're in over your head.
This tournament of yours is more than just a game! Have you not seen the damage Marik has caused so far, the people he's harmed?! You might be next! There is an ancient magic at work that cannot be denied! And if you continue to ignore it, you're a fool!
All right, let's go! Make your move!
You'll regret those words, Kaiba. Zolga, attack his Dark Gremlin with Cape of Destruction! But that's not all. Come forth, Kelbek, and attack his Life Points directly!
No, Kaiba. Next, I'll place this card facedown. And now I am done.
[thinking] Ishizu's facedown card must be a trap, but what kind of trap is it? Well, I know what I need to do… avoid losing my Life Points long enough to summon Obelisk the Tormentor! Then this duel will be over! [speaking] I hope you're ready… Ready to lose, that is!
[After Kaiba has received a vision of Kisara from the Millenium Rod, prompting him to change tactics in his duel against Ishizu]
KKaiba
Observe as I activate my Magic Card, Silent Doom… Which lets me summon a card from my graveyard. Gadget Soldier in Defense Mode!
[stunned; thinking] This isn't the future my Necklace predicted! Everything has changed!
KKaiba
Before I can summon my Blue-Eyes White Dragon, I must sacrifice two monsters. First this!
KKaiba
That's right! It's my Egyptian God card!
Joey
No way, man!
KKaiba
Hear me now! I won't be controlled! I decide my future! So now I sacrifice my monsters! You're so quiet, Ishizu. Where's your magic now? Or have you realized that there's no such thing as destiny?! Now observe as I summon my Blue-Eyes! [summons his Blue-Eyes White Dragon] Show yourself!
So somehow Kaiba was able to change the future, by summoning his Blue-Eyes White Dragon!
But how? What did he see?!
Ishizu [thinking] Something from Kaiba's past must have awakened inside him. For he was the ancient keeper of the Blue-Eyes.
KKaiba
Ishizu, if you could foresee all my moves, how did Blue-Eyes surprise you? Unless of course, you're nothing but a fake, as I suspected!
Ishizu [thinking; smiling] Soon he shall see the truth.
KKaiba
Time to finish you off now! Blue-Eyes White Dragon, attack! Wipe out her Life Points, with White Lightning Attack! Farewell. [Blue-Eyes White Dragon attacks Ishizu directly, dropping her Life Points down to zero, winning him the duel] Victory is mine! That's it!
The winner of this duel is Seto Kaiba!
All right! I knew that you were gonna win this duel all along, big brother!
YYugi
[thinking] That was insane! Marik's Millennium Rod must have shown Kaiba the secret to winning this duel! I bet it has something to do with the images on that ancient stone tablet. Kaiba's destiny is connected to the Blue-Eyes White Dragon, and I bet that's why he had to play it! Maybe now he'll believe in destiny!
KKaiba
[shocked] But wait! It can't be!
You should have known we'd be back, Seto Kaiba… for revenge! Surprised to see us again, Kaiba?
So you know these five suits, man? what’s going on here?
Suddenly I feel really underdressed.
I can't put my finger on it, but something about these guys seems really familiar to me.
These are the five creeps that tried to get rid of Seto and take over KaibaCorp! This is Gansley, Crump, Johnson, Nezbitt, and Leichter, also known as The Big Five!
Joey
That's right, they trapped Kaiba in cyberland until we saved him.
KKaiba
Almost right. They were hired by my stepfather to serve as KaibaCorp's board of directors. But that wasn't enough power for them, so they tried to destroy me using my own virtual technology and take over my company.
Ta-ta, Virtual Kaiba. Soon that will happen to the real McCoy! You see, if your deck master is destroyed, you automatically lose the duel, regardless of life points. And when each of you loses a duel, one of us will take over your body!
I've heard enough! I've defeated you five white-collar has-beens once before and I can easily do it again! No matter what the rules are, I'll still take you down!
[Big Five evil laughing]
Joey
Let us out of here, you crotchety old cranks!
We've never even left this room, you fools!
But make no mistake, you kids aren't going anywhere for a long while.
You're trapped and your only chance of escape is to defeat each of us in a virtual duel.
There's no way you're gonna get away with this, you stuffed shirts!
Joey
Yeah! We'll kick your big-business butts!
Joey
Don't worry, Serenity. We can whip these five geezers one, two, tree. I promise we'll win. And I've never broken a promise to you.
Then promise you'll be careful, Okay.
Joey
Deal.
If we stick together, they won't stand a chance!
Don't worry, I got your back, man.
Joey
Pass the jam, 'cause these guys are toast !
Hold on, guys. They never said which of us will actually have to duel.
[chucking] Good question, kid. Just to make sure that you all suffer equally, we'll be dueling against every one of you brats!
Remember, we need to take over five bodies. So the first five of you to lose will have the honor of gaining our minds while yours stay trapped here!
[all gasping]
Ever since you destroyed our bodies, all we've had are our dreams, Mr. Kaiba! Until now! The time has come to make our dreams a reality, by escaping from this virtual abyss and leaving you here in our place for all eternity! [The Big Five evil laughing]
Objection. Before we begin, you have to choose a monster from your deck to serve as your Deck Master.
Joey
Whatever. [looks through his cards] This shouldn't be too hard. Folks, we have a winner! So, meet my Deck Master, Flame Swordsman! As long as this guy's standing next to me, judge, there's no way I can possibly lose this duel!
FSFlame Swordsman
You have my word as your Deck Master that I will serve you well and guide you through this duel.
Joey
[thinking] Awesome! He talks!
FSFlame Swordsman
I assure you we shall defeat our opponent.
As you know, I will be acting as my own Deck Master. So this court is now in session. [Duel begins] Since we're in my courtroom, I'll begin this duel. Watch and learn. Now, I call Hysteric Angel to the stand. She'll make sure you the maximum sentence.
Joey
[annoyingly unimpressed] That is the most annoying monster I have ever seen! She looks just like you do, Johnson!
Silence. It's time to call out your first witness.
Joey
Yes, your Honor.
I summon Curtain of the Dark Ones. Then, I reveal my facedown card-- activate Polymerization to fuse together my Mystical Elf and my Curtain of the Dark Ones.
Joey
[thinking] Whatever monster he's creating will get sucked right into my Bottomless Trap Hole!
Joey
[disappointed; thinking] Aw, man. It's only got 1300 attack points!
You're up to something. Oh, well, I'm not too worried. Because I have this card! Ready, Joseph? Reveal the magic card, Leading Question! This card adds 800 attack points to any monster that's made up of two other monsters fused together. So my Kamionwizard is now stronger than your Panther Warrior. Wizard, attack now!
Joey
Not so fast, Mr. Tall-Dark-and-Gruesome! You triggered my trap! Go, Skull Dice! The higher I roll, the more attack points your monster loses! [the dice lands on a six] Yeah!
[smirking] Perhaps he should take a closer look. [changes the dice to a one]
Joey
WHAT?! A ONE?! NO WAY! All right, I don't know how you did that, but I got my eye on you!
In my courtroom, twisting the facts is perfectly legal, especially when it helps me!
Joey
I summon Swordsman of Landstar! And then… I'll play this, my Graceful Dice! Yeah! Raise my Swordsman's attack points with a high roll! [the dice lands on a six] All right, it worked!
[smirking] Not quite. [changes the dice to a one]
Joey
[screams overwhelmingly] WHAT DID I DO TO DESERVE ALL THIS?!
I've never seen him have such terrible luck before. Poor Joey.
[Noah drops in, interrupting the duel and threatens to disqualify Johnson for rigging Joey's dice rolls and coin flip]
Noah! You can't, sir, please! I'm only a few moves away from taking over this fool's body!
You don't deserve that prize, Johnson! Not after what you just pulled!
Joey
So, he is a cheater.
Sad to say it's true. The honorable Judge Man is nothing but a fraud who's been cheating you from the very beginning. He's been using my virtual technology to tamper with your dice rolls.
Joey
[to Johnson; enraged] How 'bout I tamper with your face?! Mr. So-Called-Man-Of-Justice, you big, fat fake!
But, Noah, I couldn't risk losing this! Please, you must understand me! I can't take living in this virtual prison for one moment longer! It's torture!
Your excuses bore me! I brought you five into my virtual world with the understanding that under my leadership, you would defeat Seto Kaiba and his little friends. But if you cheat, I can't prove that I'm truly more deserving than him!
Than me?! More deserving of what?
For years, I've lived in Seto's shadow, always trying to prove that I'm the better one! I should be the president of Kaiba Corp, not him! And it's about time I've proven to Gozaburo Kaiba that he should have left the company to me!
What?! [thinking] But my stepfather, Gozaburo, has been missing without a trace for over five years! And why would Noah want to prove something to him, anyway?! This kid is not who he seems to be! But who is he?
Joey
Excuse me, boys. If I may interrupt this little quarrel for just a second, the defendant would like to speak. [thinking] If Johnson plays by the rules, I may still be able to win this!
Sorry, but this doesn't concern you. Johnson, it's time for me to do something that I should have done the day I met you!
Joey
I'm not through yet! I still got this little number left! My Arduous Decision magic card!
Talk about risk! If this doesn't work, he could lose the entire duel to Johnson right now, Téa!
Playing that card allows Joey to draw two more cards from his deck and that's when things get tough! 'Cause then Johnson has to pick one of those two cards. If it's a monster, Joey can summon it. But if he chooses a magic or trap card, it goes to the graveyard and Joey's turn is over!
Joey
[draws Goblin Attack Force and Shield and Sword] Well, your choice! If you haven't figured it out yet, the outcome of this entire duel depends on this one move, and with Noah watching, you can't cheat, which means our fate will be decided by chance!
[thinking] Leichter thinks he has me backed into a corner. But that old fool is in for quite a surprise! [speaking] My move! [draws] Oh, well… it looks like there's bad weather ahead! 'Cause I activate this-- my Heavy Storm magic card! Time for my storm to blow away all of your magic and trap cards, Leichter! Which means you're done powering up your Life Points!
As your stepfather's right hand man, I learned to anticipate his every move. And that's exactly what I've just done to you! For I activate Imperial Order!
Oh, yes, Mr. Kaiba! For a mere 700 Life Points per turn, this card cancels out all your magic cards. And you know what that means, don't you? Now you can't use any trap or magic cards for the duration of the duel!
Joey
Oh, man! Talk about not playing with a full deck.
You seem a little stunned to me, Mr. Kaiba.
KKaiba
How can I stop a weapon that's… up there?!
You can't! Orbiting the Earth at an altitude of 240 miles, my Satellite Cannon is virtually unreachable!
Joey
I never heard of a Duel Monster that can attack from outer space!
Satellite Cannon is so high above the Earth's atmosphere that it's shielded from the attack of almost every monster!
KKaiba
Almost?! How do you know I don't have a monster in my deck that can reach it, Leichter?!
Trust me, Mr. Kaiba. By the time you summon a monster with the ability to attack my Satellite, it will be too powerful to destroy! That's because it gain 1,000 attack points with each turn! At last, the mighty Seto Kaiba is about to lose everything that he has! And it serves you right, after destroying your own stepfather and betraying the Big Five! Now it's time you paid the price for using others to get what you want! Even your own brother!
No way! Seto and I are a team!
Not all the time. Mokuba, it's time you learned the harsh truth about your brother. Listen to what Leichter has to say.
You'll stop at nothing to get what you want, Mr. Kaiba, even if it means deceiving those most loyal to you. Your treachery began when your stepfather, Gozaburo, gave you $10,000,000 to test your business skills. When you increased the cash by threatening a smaller company, he was impressed with your abilities and your cruelty. But that wasn't good enough for you, was it? You wanted more.
First, I'll activate my Pot of Greed card! This let me draw two more cards! And then, I'll summon the monster Possessed Dark Soul! Now, Dark Soul! Attack Leichter's facedown monster!
Stop right there! Reveal Dreamsprite! Attacking this activated its special power! It can redirect your attack to any of my other monsters! Just watch, Mr. Kaiba! So I'll transfer your attack to my Satellite Cannon!
Joey
Hold on! Kaiba's monster's not strong enough to reach that high!
I'm untouchable! Just one more turn and my Satellite Cannon's attack points will be raised to 2,000…enough to wipe out your remaining Life Points, Mr. Kaiba! I'll take a Life Point boost from my trap card and end my turn!
Joey
No way! It's four of the Big Five! We beat you freaks in nature fair and square!
But we still have some unfinished business to take care of.
What do you creeps what from us?
Simple the same thing we've always wanted your bodies!
Joey
Don't worry, Sis. This bunch-a-wackos couldn't duel their way out of a paper bag.
What makes you think we want to duel you?
My Associates and I have had enough games. Now it's time for us to take action!
Joey
How’s that?
Why duel you when we can take your bodies by force!
[Joey, Serenity and Duke had crashed after a harrowing chase from the four members of the Big Five]
Joey
[climbs out of the truck] Are you still in one piece, Duke?
[on the ground] I think so.
Joey
Serenity! [pulls his sister out of the truck]
For now, maybe. But soon, all of your bodies will belong to us! Now, which one of you two should I choose to take control of?
Hold on! I want to have first choice, Leichter!
We're going in size order, Crump, so you choose last.
That's the most ridiculous thing I ever heard! I'm choosing now!
[hovers down and grabs Crump by the coat] Keep your wings to yourself until I say so!
[arrives with Johnson, who tosses Duke to the ground] Stop it, fools! We don't have time for all this bickering! Choose a body and stick with it!
Enough! Calm yourself! We have to act quickly if we want to escape to the real world!
[looks up at Noah by light] What’s that!
[Johnson looks up at Noah by light so was Joey, Serenity, Tristan and Duke]
Attention fools! This game is over!
Master Noah! Is not what it looks like!
Really? So you’re not breaking my rules? What kind of fool do you take me for!?
Please! I can explain, Noah!
I gave you all the chance to win your freedom and you’re all failed! Now you’ll pay the price!
