Yugi, I'm sorry I accused you of cheating. The better player won today, and it was you. You proved you really did beat Pegasus fair and square. I was such a creep today, and thanks to those tv cameras, the world knows it. My store is ruined. No one's gonna want to play Dungeon Dice Monsters now.
That's not true at all, Duke. Dungeon Dice Monsters has the potential to become a huge hit.
True. I haven't seen a game this exciting since duel monsters. You've got to keep your store open.
There's more than enough room for two game stores in town. I've got a feeling once Dungeon Dice Monsters takes off, you'll both have all the customers you can handle.
Huh? No way do you really think so?
Sure dice monsters is great. It's you i don't like.
TristanI'd love to learn how to play dice monsters.
Now that Joey's out of the doghouse, maybe things will get back to normal around here, Which means that i can finally get back to playing duel monsters.
So that's lt? How can you let me off so easy, Yugi? I was a total jerk to you and your friends.
The game is over now. Let's just leave the fighting on the field because revenge leaves you with nothing excerpt for more bad feelings, Duke, and if you're truly sorry, the best thing to do is be friends.
I am sorry... and you're offering me something better than winning.
Tristan
Yeah, brilliant, putting the rod in the hole and pulling really hard.
Tristan
Say nothing! [he and Joey argue]
Knock it off, guys, or I won't share my hospital food with you.
[Joey and Tristan were mopping the floor of the hall corridor]
Tristan Taylor
Joey, we're on mop duty. What are you so happy about anyway?
Well, my sister Serenity's finally getting an eye operation, and it's all thanks to the 3 million bucks that Yugi won at Duelist Kingdom. She's gonna get her sight back again!
Tristan Taylor
That's sweet! So when do we visit?
It's not that easy. My mom's gonna be there. And every since Serenity and I were separated as kids, my mom and I haven't seen eye to eye.
Tristan Taylor
[yanks Joey by the neck with his arm] She won't go without you. My only concern is whether or not Serenity likes me.
Don't get any funny ideas.
Tristan Taylor
Tell me which hospital she's in and I'll go visit sweet Serenity alone. You'd be a third wheel.
[frustrated] Tristan! I'll send you to the hospital! [puts Tristan in a leg-lock]
Speakin' of brains, I almost let that Duel Disk distract me from checking on my little sister. [dials the phone and the phone picks up the signal]
Tristan Taylor
[picks up the phone] Hello. Serenity Wheeler's room.
[stunned] WHAT?! Tristan, is that you?!
Tristan Taylor
Joey, what a coincidence! Serenity and I were just talking about you.
You were? What do you think you're doin' in my sister's room?
Tristan Taylor
Well, I knew how busy you are getting ready for the Battle City tournament, so I thought I should keep Serenity company. Right, pal?
[angrily shouts] YOU'RE THE LAST THING SHE NEEDS, ROMEO!
SWSerenity Wheeler
Hi there, Joey. Why didn't you ever tell me that Tristan taught you everything you know about Duel Monsters...
SWSerenity Wheeler
...or you finished second at Duelist Kingdom thanks to his training?
SWSerenity Wheeler
And you never mentioned that if it weren't for Tristan, you wouldn't have won the $3 million dollars to pay for my surgery. [Joey gives a smirking grin on the phone] You're so lucky to have such a sweet, caring guy as your friend.
Tristan Taylor
[chuckles nervously and comes back on the line] Best of luck in Battle City, and don't forget about that super three-card combo I taught you. Bye. [hangs up the phone, leaving Joey speechless]
[turns furious and vehemently screams in the phone] TRISTAN! GRR! I'LL KICK YOUR LYIN' BUTT!
[appearing out of nowhere] Looking for someone?
I thought I smelled a dung beetle!
That's my greeting after all this time? [laughs sinisterly]
You stole that little kid's cards, didn't you, worm-breath?!
I don't remember stealing any cards.
Tristan
[cracking his knuckles] Well then, maybe I can help refresh your memory.
Tristan, wait. We'll settle this fair and square with a duel!
Be really careful, Joey. Remember when Weevil threw Yugi's Exodia cards off the boat to Duelist Island? This guy's a major cheater!
[laughing sinisterly] Careful where you point that finger, Téa. It might get bitten by one of my pets.
That's fine with me, but we'll duel for two locator cards!
But if you lose both locator cards, you'll have no way of getting to the finals!
Tristan
It's way too risky, Joey.
Yugi squashed this creepy little bug the first time they squared off at Duelist Kingdom. Now I guess it's my turn to do the same! How many locator cards do you have?
Then once I step on you and take them both, plus your rarest card, I'll be personally responsible for your ugly mug out of the tournament! Just like Yugi did last time! [He and Weevil activate their duel disks] Let's do this!
First, I'll play… my Swordsman of Landstar in attack mode! Then I'll leave this little number facedown for later. Take your best shot!
Your "Swordsman" looks like he popped out of a toybox!
This toy's gonna slice and dice your hive!
Well, is that so? Not if I play a much more powerful Flying Kamakiri #1! Now my flying friend, attack! Crush his mini-monster!
Uh-uh. Watch this. It's my Shield and Sword magic card! It swaps the attack and defense points of both our monsters, making my Swordsman's attack strength a cut above your bug's!
[groans then laughs] Nice try! But when Flying Kamakiri #1 is sent to the graveyard, it automatically summons an even more powerful warrior to take its place! The dreaded Flying Kamakiri #2!
My Moth! My precious, precious Great Moth! You've squashed it like a common fly! YOU'LL PAY! This duel isn't over yet, Wheeler, not by a mile!
Ha! Bring it on, Weevil! I'll exterminate all your little critters.
You won that round. But my next surprise will win me the duel and send you packing.
We'll just see about that, Weevil.
Yes, we will. First, I'll play this! Ta-da! My Insect Soldiers of the Sky! Next comes a magic card! Eradicating Aerosol! This card has the power to destroy any insect card in the field, and since all of your parasite-infected monsters are still insects, I could take one of them out, but I've got bigger plans. So I play Pinch Hopper! And now I can destroy my own insect!
Tristan
What gives?
Once Pinch Hopper goes to the graveyard, Weevil can summon any monster from his hand!
Yes! Eradicating Aerosol, now! Destroy my Pinch Hopper! Now I can summon a creature whose attack power is virtually limitless! Ha, ha! Insect Queen! She's my rarest card, and if played the right way, is totally unstoppable! Prepare to lose it all, Wheeler! You may have defeated my Great Moth, but my queen will trounce your puny defense and wipe out your Life Points! Now you will face a power like no other! Say goodbye to Battle City! If you think my Insect Queen is powerful now, just wait until you see her special function! She absorbs the attack points of every insect on the field!
It's still got less than your Moth, and I creamed that thing.
You weren't listening. She absorbs the points of every insect, yours included!
Mine? That's right! My monsters are still considered insects because of that stinking parasite!
Exactly! Now absorb their power, my queen!
That's a thousand more attack points!
I hold a card in my hand with dark powers beyond your wildest imagination. But first, before I could play this all-powerful card, I needed a bit of assistance. Thanks for helping me destroy you. Three of my monsters needed to be destroyed before I could bring forth my Dark Destructor. You made that possible. Now I summon the beast that will cause your demise, Dark Necrofear! [summons Dark Necrofear] You have no idea what you are about to experience!
I knew you planning something!
It doesn't matter. You still fell into my trap, and now you're about to pay the ultimate price! [laughs] This is it. You're finished, Yugi!
Tristan
What is it? That monster's creeping me out.
Me too, Tristan. And if he was willing to lose all those life points to bring it out, it must be powerful.
Dark Necrofear is one of the most destructive cards in my deck. You'll never stop it.
I know a card in Yugi's deck that can-- his Egyptian God card, the mighty Slifer the Sky Dragon. It all depends on whether or not Yugi has the courage to use it.
Stare into the face of defeat! You see, not only is my monster strong… possessing more attack points than either of your monsters… but it also possess a dark magic hidden within, waiting to activate and destroy you!
Your monster may be powerful, but it's not unbeatable!
[thinking] This Dark Necrofear must possess incredible powers if Bakura risked losing the finals just to summon it. He led Yugi through this duel like a dog on a leash, and now Bakura has him exactly where he wants him. So, what will you do now, Yugi?
[gasps and groans in pain] Oh, my arm... It hurts...
Yugi, help me. I-I don't know where I am. What am I doing here in this duel? What happened to my arm?
He's in pain. Without the spirit of the ring, he is weak. Therefore, you may wish to reconsider your attack. The devastation caused by Slifer the Sky Dragon could make your friend's condition even worse.
Would you risk the health of your friend?
Only a coward would do something like this to win a duel!
[growls] That's a cheap trick, Marik!
Tristan
Bakura, hang in there!
[smirks] Well done, Odion. He'll never attack his pathetic, defenseless friend now.
[leaves] Master Marik always knows what's best. I must obey his commands.
I don't feel very well, Yugi.
[thinking] I'll make this wacko wish he never tried to control my noggin'! [speaking] Yo! Listen up, you bald-headed freak! According to my math, you're gonna be all washed up in nine turns! That's if you can count!
Where'd he come up with nine?
Tristan
Look, with Joey, you don't ask.
My brother's so awesome, he's got this whole duel calculated in his head already.
That's right, Serenity. You just keep believing everything he says.
[as Odion pulls out a replica of the Millennium Rod and holds it in front of him; shocked] That must be what he used to control me!
[thinking] The Millennium Rod! I knew Marik would use it to win this duel! That coward can't win on his own!
Point that thing somewhere else and duel like a man!
Look, Marik… Did you say, "very well?"
[thinking] That's a relief. Marik must have realized that Joey's mind is too strong to be controlled. That's why the Millennium Rod didn't work last time.
[thinking] Little do they know that Odion's Millennium Rod is merely a replica of the original item held by me. These fools will never suspect that I am the one they fear and despise so greatly! And while I hide safely in the shadows, Odion will fight my battles for me. But something else concerns me. It's Seto Kaiba and his role in this struggle. Little Yugi isn't the only one standing between me and the power of the Pharaoh, for the ancient tablets also depict a sorcerer, who bears a striking resemblance to Kaiba. And what concerns me even more is what appears to be my Millennium Rod in the hands of this sorcerer! So I'll keep an eye on him as well. And before the finals are over, Kaiba's Egyptian God card, Obelisk the Tormentor, will belong to me! Kaiba could never comprehend that card's power! And as long as Odion continues to deceive everyone into believing he is me, my plan to obtain the two remaining Egyptian God cards and Yugi's Millennium Puzzle should be simple. I'll show Seto Kaiba what true power is all about.
Hey, Seto. If Marik really is the leader of the rare hunters, he must have, like, a ton of rare cards in his deck.
KKaiba
There's only one card in his deck I care about and that's his Egyptian God card, the Winged Dragon of Ra. And hopefully that hack, Joey Wheeler will last long enough in this duel for me to see how Marik's card works so I can win it for myself.
[thinking] Listen to me, Odion. If you can't defeat this pathetic fool, Joey Wheeler, then you don't stand a chance against the Pharaoh! So unless you'd like to take an unexpected journey to the Shadow Realm, I'd suggest you refrain from disappointing me.
[thinking] Yes, Master Marik. I pledge my word that I shall defeat this worthless opponent.
It's time to duel, and destroy you!
Gentlemen, let the duel begin!
Don't count on it, Marik! I'm not scared of you!
Tristan
Come on, man.
Joey's Life Points are low, so he's got to protect himself. Marik may attack with his three serpents in his next turn, and Joey has to be ready!
Hey, guys, what Joey do to get rid of those gross things?
It's not easy. The first thing that boy has to do is keep his Life Points safe.
Your chances of victory have vanished. You'll never recover from the triple onslaught of my Embodiments of Apophis!
Oh, yeah? I'm gonna have to disagree with you. So take this. I place one card facedown and change Alligator's Sword from attack to defense mode.
That seems like a final desperate move to me.
Well, we'll just see. [thinking] As soon as Mr. Personality over here attacks me, I'll activate my Scapegoat magic card. It'll absorb the hits of all three of his slimy reptiles, leaving me safe and sound.
You're about to feel what real power can accomplish, Mr. Wheeler. Now, my three beasts, attack!
Marik, you're in for a surprise! Go, Scapegoat! My Scapegoats will absorb all three of your snake attacks!
Tristan
Yeah!
Joey's smarter than I thought.
I see. Good move, but not good enough!
Observe, my Magic Jammer!
Bad news, guys. I'm afraid Marik's Magic Jammer trap card cancels out the effect of Joey's Scapegoat magic card.
That evil creep can't win this!
It's time to say farewell to your furry friends and hello to my serpents!
Apophis, attack! Destroy Rocket Warrior and Alligator's Sword! Now, attack his Life Points directly!
[Joey falls to his knees as his Life Points drop down to 200]
Tristan
He almost lost the rest of his Life Points!
You've lost all your monsters. And now, you're down to 200 Life Points. One more attack and it's over.
You can do this, Joey! You promised to help me defeat Marik. And if you win this duel, he's finished!
[thinking] Wrong, you fool! I'm Marik. And your friend's about to lose at the hands of my servant, Odion!
[thinking] This duel can't end until Marik plays his Egyptian God card! I must see it!
You think just because you were able to acquire a few strong monsters, you can defeat me? You're so naive, for I am about to summon a beast that you can't destroy!
While your monsters were trapped in my Swords of Revealing Light, I was able to prepare for the arrival of my ancient creature. And this all-powerful entity will serve as the guardian of the sacred Temple of the Kings, protecting my ancient sanctuary and all of the secrets that lie within!
Say that again with small words.
You can't win once I play this-- Cup of Sealed Soul! Then I reveal my facedown card-- Seal of Serket! When these two magic cards are played along with Temple of the Kings, they are able to awaken a great creature from its ancient slumber, a being like none you've ever seen before!
Patience. You're about to find out. Please hear my call, guardian of the temple. Now, Mystical Beast of Serket, I summon thee!
Tristan
I got a bad feeling about this, you guys!
[The doctor checks Odion's symptoms after he fell in a state of unconsciousness from his duel with Joey, while Marik posed him as himself]
So, what's the diagnosis, Doc?
DDoctor
Well so far, Odion's heart rate is steady. His tests were fine. But I'm afraid all the mental stress he's gone through has left him unconscious.
Yeah, I could use a nap, too.
The doctor means he's been knocked out, Joey. You should be really thankful you're not in the same state.
You got a good point there. I mean, he and I were both standing right there when his Egyptian God monster went all kablooey. But I'm perfectly fine…
Tristan
Aside from the brain damage you had going into it.
I guess that means we're not gonna find who this guy is until he's able to wake up.
That's right, but there is one thing we do know for sure… he was determined to protect Marik for as long as he could.
All right, tough guy, check it out! I play this-- the magic card: Harpie's Feather Duster! It blows away all your trap and magic cards! Sorry, Marik, but I saw your dirty little plan, so I swept it right up!
YYugi
[thinking] Mai sure handled that fast, but she's in for much worse if he summons his Egyptian God card!
Now, my Dark Witch! The coast is clear, so attack that slime token with Spellbinding Flux!
All right! Mai's already got the lead! Keep it up, Mai!
[thinking] Yes, rejoice, you fools. Celebrate. I want you all to be full of hope, so it will be that much more devastating when I thrust each of you into the dark abyss!
And now, to complete my turn, I think I'll place one card facedown and that'll do it.
Very well. I summon Melchid the Four-Face Beast. Then I sacrifice Revival Jam and Melchid the Four-Face-Beast to summon the The Masked Beast Des Gardius!
YYugi
[thinking] That is one powerful monster!
Now, my Masked Beast! Destroy her Dark Witch!
WRONG! Now, I activate my trap card, Mirror Wall! It attacks your beast with its own reflection, cutting its power in half! Dark Witch, finish off his Masked Beast!
KA-BLAM! Marik's lost even more Life Points!
Hold on. It's not time to celebrate yet.
[The Mask of Remnants attaches itself to Mai's monster and is now on Marik's side due to the effect of Masked Beast Des Gardius]
When it's destroyed, my masked beast leaves behind the Mask of Remnants, which allows me to reshuffle my deck, but more importantly... I gain control of your Dark Witch. Next, I think I'll do away with your pathetic little trap. As I play the magic card-- Remove Trap! Good riddance!
Tristan
Aw, man! Looks like Mai's in some serious trouble out there! She'd better come up with something before Marik unleashes that Egyptian God card!
You know, I gotta hand it to her… She's about to get stomped, but that Ishizu's keeping her cool.
Tristan
Yeah, I'm starting to think that maybe she does know something we don't.
No way, that's just an act.
Act or no act, she's in big trouble.
Yeah, thanks to Kaiba, most of her monsters are in the graveyard now.
Oh, no! [thinking] What if Ishizu does lose? Will the evil within Marik grow even stronger? She joined this tournament to help me defeat her brother and to uncover the good inside him. She has to win!
Your most powerful monsters are in the graveyard, and soon, the rest of your cards will join them!
I'm well aware of your plan, Kaiba.
[thinking] Seto Kaiba is so naive, believing that mere skill can lead to victory in this game. That fool must accept his ancient past in order to win!
[thinking] She has no idea what she's in for!
