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!
[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] As Joey and Yugi would say, "I have to trust my cards."
Serenity, you already know everything you need to in order to beat this guy!
Right! [thinking] I just have to remember everything Tristan taught me that day… [Flashback to her and Tristan's Duel Monsters strategy talk on the train] So I have to sacrifice my weak monster to summon a stronger one! Well… That means if I want to summon the strong monster in my hand, I have to get rid of my weaker Lady Panther, first! Maybe this game isn't so tough after all! So here goes… [speaking] I sacrifice my Lady Panther so I can summon Marie the Fallen One! Good!
[thinking] I hope Serenity's getting the hang of this, 'cause if she messes this up now, Nezbitt will win the duel in his next turn!
[thinking] I've got the monsters I want… Now I need that Polymerization card so I can fuse them together!
GWGoddess with the Third Eye
Serenity.
GWGoddess with the Third Eye
Fear not, Serenity. As your Deck Master, I carry with me a very special ability. The power of fusion. I have the ability to combine two or more of your monsters together without the need for a Polymerization card. But, you must discard one magic card in order to activate my ability.
Okay, now feast your eyes on this little number, Nezbitt! First I'll dispose of this magic card, so then I can activate the special ability of my Deck Master!
GWGoddess with the Third Eye
Fusion vision…go!
Goddess with the Third Eye, fuse together Marie the Fallen One and The Forgiving Maiden to form… St. Joan!
Impressive. But I'm afraid your monster isn't powerful enough to take me on. [Tristan's Command Angel glows, raising St. Joan's attack points by 400] What's going on? This can't be!
Awesome! Command Angel's special power kicked in! It raised the strength of every fairy monster on the field, including St. Joan!
Thanks to Tristan's monster card, we can still do this!
TTéa
Now her St. Joan has 3200 attack points.
Yeah, but his Perfect Machine King still has more points. St. Joan needs another power boost!
[looks back up] Why don't you worried about him instead.
[They spot up at the Fake Tristan]:
YYugi
Look guys, up there!
That's not Tristan, remember? [as Seto Kaiba leaves off alone to find Mokuba himself]
It's the techno geek of the Big Five, Nezbitt, even though he kicked his nerdy butt in that duel, he still took Tristan's body!
[Gansley laughs]
Today's special is-- five for one!
Our combined force will destroy you!
[The Big Five's Deck Masters appear]
TTéa
They're all using Tristan's body!
Listen, Yugi! There's only one way we'll return your friend.
[laughs] But believe me, Junior, the odds are in our favor!
TTéa
Hey, that's Crump! Sicko!
YYugi
All right! Tell us what we have to do to get Tristan back from your control!
Why duel us! Win, and he's yours!
Hold on! What's this about returning the body? We never discussed that! I'm the one who won this body and I won't give it up!
Nezbitt, it belongs to all of us now, and this was a group decision!
[chuckles] I can't believe you two are actually arguing as if we're going to keep our word.
[Pharaoh's spirit takes over]
Let's do this… for Tristan!
Hold it right there! Your man's a little off if you get in my drift. Five on one's are even, so count me in!
Yeah. No question. The two of us are a team, Yugi. Now, let's waste these five suits!
Yes, and together, we'll save Tristan.
When you two lose this duel, you and your friends will be sentenced to an eternity in this digital dungeon!
You're the one who's going down, Johnson! I beat you once and I'll beat you again!
Yes, but now we're up against all five of them!
That's right, I'm not alone in here. Now then…
TTéa
I can't believe the Big Five are all in Tristan's body!
Those business geeks are sharing me like I'm a corporate condo!
My first maneuver should seem familiar to you, Joseph. The move's called, Clear the Courtroom! It's Judge Man's Deck Master ability!
Oh, yes! First, I'll give 1,000 my Life Points. Proceed, Your Honor. Prosecute all of their monsters to the full extent of the law!
All four of our monsters are gone now.
But that's not all I've done.
Have you forgotten already, Joseph? Next, you'll both lose 500 Life Points for each monster that I've crushed.
Well? Now it's time for you five to give Tristan his body back.
I'm afraid you've mistaken me for someone who believes in playing fair!
[shocked] Say what?! All right, it's go time!
[The Big Five charge at Yami Yugi, Joey, Téa, Serenity and Duke]
Now to take five more bodies!
[But then suddenly The Big Five backs away to Tristan's body]
[voice-over] Breaking my rules again, are we?!
[voice-over] You five fools have failed me for the last time!
YYYami Yugi, Joey and Duke
[shocked] What's going on?!
TSTéa and Serenity
[shocked] What's happening?!
[The Big Five scream as they disappear]
TTéa
Oh, no! They took Tristan's body away with them!
I don't believe it! I'll be stuck in this monkey suit for the rest of my life! And I'm feeling more like a monkey and less like me every second. This stinks!
[hugs Tristan] I'm here for you, Tristan.
On second thought, I can learn to live with this.
[the setting changes to the Jurassic age]
TTéa
Check it out! The whole virtual world is changing!
Quite impressive, isn't it? I command every part of this place. Welcome to the Dinosaur Age. [places Giant Rex in attack mode] I summon Giant Rex! [As a beam of blue light brings Giant Rex to the field, Giant Rex lets out a resonating roar] Your Spear Dragon is about to become extinct! Giant Rex, attack! [Yugi, Joey and the gang head for cover as Giant Rex attacks and destroys Spear Dragon by tossing it to the ground]
TTéa
What did you do to them!?
I always thought they were hardheaded. So I’ve turned them into a living sculpture. They’re so close yet they’ll never reach one another. How tragic.
YYugi
They're statues! It can't be!
[His anger allows the spirit of the Pharaoh to take over]
Noah! You think this proves you're the best!? I think it shows your father that you're a coward!
What are you talking about, Yugi? I defeated Seto in this duel fair and square!
Guess again, Noah! You think kidnapping Mokuba and using him as a shield is fair?!
I think you're guilty of the same foul play you once scolded the Big Five for! Something you said your father would never allow! Kaiba could've easily defeated you, Noah! But he chose the safety of his little brother over his victory. And that makes Kaiba a stronger person than you will ever be! All you've proven here today is that you're a weak little boy who needs to cheat to get his way. And as far as I'm concerned, you didn't win this duel! But I have a proposition for you. Kaiba has 400 Life Points left! Let me take his place, so we can finish this duel fair and square!
That could be the most foolish thing I've ever heard!
Does that mean you accept or are you afraid I'll defeat you and prove once and for all… That you are weak!
I’d be crazy not to accept!
Yugi! Don't be a doofus! He's got seven thousand life points to your measly four hundred!
Be careful, Joey's right for a change!
Once I defeat you, Yugi, I'll turn every one of you into stone!
I think we need a little privacy, don't you?
TTéa
Hey, what's he doing!?
As I was saying, I'll turn all but one of you into stone! After all I need a body to escape in!
And If you lose you'll set us all free! So in the name of Seto Kaiba and Mokuba, let's duel now!
With pleasure, Yugi! And may the best duelist win!
And when I do, you and your friends will be prisoners of my world forever!
You're nothing but a child. Six years may have passed, but I'm afraid you haven't matured at all. You're a weak boy!
Well, not strong enough! Just look.
Come on! You can still beat this lame-o!
TTéa
That's right, so don't you even think about giving up this fight, Yugi!
This can't be! They still have faith!
Noah! You wouldn't be so surprised if you had been given the chance to experience true friendship! You're just bitter!
The only thing I need to know about friendship is how to destroy it! My move! And now, I activate my facedown trap card, Pyro Clock of Destiny!
Oh, no, my Swords of Light! They're gone, but that's too soon!
True, but my Pyro Clock of Destiny trap card causes time to move faster. So they expire one turn sooner! Now I summon the dreaded Otohime to the field in attack mode! And thanks to my new monster's special ability, I can switch any of your monsters from defense to attack mode or vice versa, Yugi! And I choose your Kuriboh!
You have nothing to defend you! So your Life Points are wide open! And it's about time I turn this duel around! So stand back, Noah! [draws; thinking] Just what I needed! [speaking] All right, prepare to release me and my friends from your twisted game, for I activate-- Dark Magic Ritual! This magic card allows me to summon a dark magical creature once I make a sacrifice! So, I'll sacrifice this card, my all-powerful Valkyrion the Magna Warrior! Valkyrion, be gone! Now I shall summon my third magician! The Magician of Black Chaos!
Oh, yes! This monster completes my trio of magical beasts that will combine forces to take you down! When added together, Dark Magician, Dark Magician Girl, and Magician of Black Chaos, have over 7000 attack points, almost enough to wipe you out!
TTéa
He's got three Dark Magicians?
That's right, but he never had 'em all on the field at once! This is the break Yugi needed!
Noah, this is for my friends! Combine forces my magicians, and STRIKE HIS LIFE POINTS DIRECTLY!
[Joey and Yami Marik's duel commences]
As you wish. I play Gil Garth in attack mode! Then I'll place one card facedown and end my turn!
I'll take it from here, ya nut case! [draws; thinking] I'm off to a bad start. His Gil Garth has 1800 attack points and none of my cards can beat it… yet. [speaking] I'll also place one card facedown. And then, I'll summon my Alligator's Sword in defense mode!
The time has come to take this duel to the next level!
Next level? I know where this is going.
[Shadow game blackness appears and surrounds the area]
YYugi
I was afraid Marik would do this!
TTéa
[worried] Joey!
This duel's now…a shadow game!
Show some originality, Marik!
The shadow's hunger for your mind, and your soul!
We can't let Joey go through with this duel! This is exactly what happened when Marik dueled Mai! It's too dangerous!
TTéa
Joey's already made up his mind. Didn't I tell you what he said to me?
TTéa
Sorry, Yugi. I should have told you about this before. [Flashback to her and Joey's conversation; voice-over] Joey and I had a conversation after Mai's duel with Marik.
I know if I beat that evil freak in a duel, I can get Mai back!
TTéa
Are you sure about this, Joey?
I've never been more sure of anything in my life. I owe it to Mai and to myself to face Marik. If I back away from this fight now, I'll never be able to forgive myself. I've made up my mind. I gave Mai my word that I wouldn't let anything happen to her, and Joey Wheeler would never break a promise to a friend… So look out, Marik, 'cause here I come!
[Flashback ends]
TTéa
So Joey's trying to rescue Mai out there, and nothing we say can stop him!
YYugi
There's gotta be something we can do to save Joey! I know he promised to bring back Mai, but there has to be another way!
Yugi… It's his fight. Just as Joey made a promise to Mai, we made a promise to Joey that we would stop protecting him. We must prove to Joey that we believe in him by letting him duel on his own.
Trust him, Yugi! He can win, but he needs our faith and support.
TTéa
This isn't so bad. Now Joey's got a monster in his corner with 3,000 points. So if he attacks Marik directly, he'll win the duel.
It's not that easy, Téa. Remember, Marik gave that monster to Joey, which can only mean one thing: Marik wants Joey to attack. It's all part of his strategy to eliminate Joey.
Attention, everyone! In accordance with tournament rules, Joey is disqualified! So, the winner of this duel is Marik Ishtar!
[Mokuba and the others climb up on the dueling platform and circle around an unconscious Joey]
Let's get him downstairs right away! He needs to see a doctor now!
KKaiba
[thinking] I never thought Wheeler could withstand an attack but the most powerful Egyptian God card!
There goes another soul into the dark abyss of the Shadow Realm to wander the emptiness for eternity!
TTéa
Joey! Come on, you gotta open your eyes!
Joey! It's me, Serenity! Please! Tell me you can hear me!
[shaking him in tears] YOU BETTER STOP KIDDING AROUND AND GET UP, MAN!
The reason I joined the Battle City tournament was to fulfill Ishizu's prophecy and stop this great evil from endangering mankind. And when Joey found out, he vowed to help me no matter how tough the fight. And that's why I must press on. Otherwise not only would I be giving up on Joey I'd be giving up on the entire world! So you stay here and I'll deal with Kaiba.
I will. There's too much at stake to lose.
TTéa
I know you can win this, Yugi! [thinking] Cause I don't want to think about what'll happen if you don't!
