I shall place this monster in defense mode. Make your move, Noah!
Nothing would thrill me more. Now I summon my Asura, who's yet another spirit monster! [summons Asura Priest] Now say goodbye to your Obnoxious Guardian, Yugi! Asura, attack with Daggers of Demise! You mentioned earlier that your Obnoxious Celtic Guardian is immune to damage from monsters with 1900 attack points or more, but unfortunately for you, my Asura only has 1700 attack points! So say goodbye! And now, witness the power of my Asura's special ability! Multiple Attack!
DukeIt looks like Noah's Asura card is gonna attack again!
The power of Multiple Attack gives Asura the ability to attack every monster on your side of the field on the same turn! So I'm afraid your facedown monster is about to go, leaving you defenseless! Now, Asura, wipe out Yugi's last monster with your Daggers of Demise!
We can't let Joey go through with this duel! This is exactly what happened when Marik dueled Mai! It's too dangerous!
Duke
Let's step in!
Joey's already made up his mind. Didn't I tell you what he said to me?
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!
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]
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.
Well, well. Yugi. So, you decided to show up after all.
Of course. To miss this duel is to deny my destiny.
The second duel of the semifinals will now begin!
So, why didn't the nerd herd show up to cheer you on? Are they too busy trying to wake Wheeler up from his nap? [laughs]
Joey is in a great deal of danger now. More than you could ever know.
Wheeler shouldn't have been here in the first place. I warned him not to play with the big boys, and if you ask me, he got just what he deserved… A slap in the face by Ra! And if getting attacked by an Egyptian God card didn't knock any sense into that kid, then nothing will.
That's enough, Kaiba! You have no idea how dangerous this Duel Monsters tournament of yours has become! The outcome of the Battle City finals could put the whole world at risk!
The only one at risk is you! For once I win, you won't be number one!
Kaiba… It's not always about being number one. It's about dueling with bravery, honor and respect! And most importantly, putting the needs of others ahead of your own! And that's something Joey Wheeler did every day of his life. The reason he's in that hospital bed, is because he put himself in harm's way, just to keep a promise to a friend!
Pathetic. Listen, Wheeler can do whatever he wants, but I'm in this thing for one reason only! And that's to win the tournament and be recognized as the greatest duelist in the world! So why don't you save your Girl Scout speech for someone who actually cares. As far as I'm concerned, Wheeler never really belonged here in the first place.
[Meanwhile…]
[sadly in tears] Come on, Joey. Keep fighting! I know you can get through this!
[sees Joey's hand twitching] Check it out!
Duke
It's just a reflex. He's still out of it.
[Joey sends each one of his powerful monsters to the graveyard by Kaiba's Shrink and Crush Card strategy, the same way he did while dueling Ishizu]
I don't believe this! Jinzo! Gilford! Every one of my powerful monsters is toast! Later, guys. Thanks a lot!
A weak duelist should have weak monsters, right? I told you you couldn't handle an opponent like me.
Why don't you just admit it over your head, Wheeler, and leave now before you hurt yourself?
Forget it, pal! This duel just started and I got strategies you never dreamed of!
Don't you know when it's time to quit? My move. Now, since you have monsters to protect you…well, you figure it out. I summon La Jinn! Meet the mystical genie of the lamp! [summons La Jinn]
Aw, man! Joey's life points are wide open to an attack!
Duke
This could get ugly.
I'm afraid it's time to say goodbye to 1800 of your life points! Now, La Jinn, attack him directly!
Yugi! If you want to win this duel, you'll use that card…instead of counting on the support of your little fan club.
Doesn't he get that we're all fighting the same enemy?
Duke
He did give Yugi that card.
Yeah, but I don't trust him. If I were you, I'd toss that card right off the tower, Yug!
Look, Yugi. No one said you had to use that card, so feel free to give it back.
[Yami Yugi shuffles the Fiend's Sanctuary magic card into his deck]
No! What are you doing, Yug?!
Kaiba… We may not always agree, but I still trust you.
Attention! The last duel's about to begin! Duelists, prepare your cards! Marik Ishtar will face Yugi Muto, and the winner will receive the Battle City crown!
Pharaoh, I have been waiting for this moment for my entire life! Soon, your infinite power will be mine!
Marik, not only will I defeat you… I'll free you from the darkness that controls you!
[evilly laughs] Now that I'd like to see, SO COME AND GET ME!
Duke
Take him down, Yugi!
[thinking] Thank you, Kaiba. I knew your card would save me the moment you handed it to me. Whether you believe it or not, our spirits are connected. [speaking] All right, let the duel continue! I reveal…my magic card!
Yes. This card allows me to increase the number of metal fiend tokens I have on the field from one...to three!
[thinking] Oh, no! He's going to sacrifice them!
Well, looks like Yugi did it. He figured out how to make the most of my magic card.
[thinking] Is the Pharaoh about to summon his second Egyptian God card?
I sacrifice my three metal fiend tokens… to play this, OBELISK THE TORMENTOR! Behold, the Egyptian God card I won from Kaiba! [thinking] Summoned with the help of two of my friends. [speaking] Stare into the face of defeat, Marik!
Duke
Obelisk will crush Marik!
I knew Yugi would turn things around!
Hey get a load of Marik, guys! He's so scared his hair's standing up! Oh wait, he always looks like that!
How could I let him do this?
All right, my Egyptian God monster, attack Marik's Life Points now!
[thinking] I WILL NOT BE DESTROYED!
My Obelisk the Tormentor has eliminated 4,000 of your Life Points! Now you're only one attack away from defeat! Marik, you shall never attain the power that you desire!
Yeah! Way to back that evil freak into a corner, dude!
See that? Marik didn't even know what hit him out there! He's in a complete daze!
Duke
Kinda like you are every day.
[amazed] Oh, that was so awesome!
KKaiba
[thinking] Something's not right. Why would Marik allow Obelisk to attack him so easily?!
[thinking] It seems as if Marik wanted this to happen! He must be planning to use his facedown card to somehow counterattack! Please be careful, my Pharaoh. My brother's evil side is extremely devious. He prefers to prolong his opponent's suffering for his own amusement, and the Pharaoh is no exception.
Hey, wait, Yugi's not looking so good, guys.
Yeah, you're right. But what does he have to worry about? He's one step away from defeating Marik and winning the Battle City Tournament!
[getting back up on his feet; groaning] Impressive, Pharaoh. But it will take more than that to keep me down! Perhaps you've forgotten who really suffers when I lose Life Points. Just look. [Marik's good side's body parts start fading away into the shadows] Thanks to you, my weaker side has almost completely lost himself to the Shadow Realm!
You're supposed to save mankind, but based on your actions in this duel, I'd say you're destroying it, and I'm sure my other half would agree with me… As he slowly slips away, thanks to you! And to think that poor soul was once your loyal servant! It's nice to see he's getting repaid by his exalted king! [evilly laughs] Feel free to attack us, Pharaoh, so my weak side can sacrifice more of himself!
You have nothing to protect you!
Ha! Is that so?! You seem to be forgetting about the facedown card that you activated with your last attack-- A TRAP WITH THE POWER TO STOP AN EGYPTIAN GOD!
But how?! That's impossible!
Yeah, right! There's no way Marik has a trap card powerful enough to stop Obelisk!
It's time for me to unveil my secret weapon, Pharaoh! By causing me to lose more than half of my Life Points, you've allowed me to play this card! It's both a trap and a monster! Say hello to Metal Reflect Slime!
It's a creature made of plasma, giving it the ability to take on the shape of the monster that just attacked me! So my slime monster will now morph into the likeness of Obelisk the Tormentor!
No! A clone of an Egyptian God?!
[Yami Marik's trap starts morphing into the form of Egyptian God Slime]
Whatever it is, that thing is gross!
That thing's gonna be a big slimy Obelisk!
That giant booger's gonna become and Egyptian God?!
Duke
Hey, guys, don't look now, but I think it's working!
Pharaoh, meet my Egyptian God Slime! YOU'LL NEVER STOP HIM!
Duke
Marik made an exact copy of Yugi's Obelisk the Tormentor!
Does that mean they're equal in strength?
No! Marik's is just a cheap copy of the original! His wannabe Obelisk only has 3,000 defense points, so the real Obelisk can knock it into next week with one blow!
Yugi's gonna destroy that fake next time he attacks, right, Seto?
KKaiba
Not quite. I'm sure there's more to Marik's monster than meets the eye, Mokuba. Just keep watching.
Your carbon copy pales in comparison to the original, Marik!
My Egyptian God Slime is more powerful thank you think, Pharaoh, but you'll find that out soon enough. Now finish your move so my assault can continue!
Fine, I'll place one card facedown. It's your move!
Very well, fool! [draws; thinking] That's the exact card I needed to make my Egyptian God Slime unstoppable. Nothing will be able to destroy it! My Life Points will be protected indefinitely! Not even the mighty Obelisk will get through! [speaking] Pharaoh, it won't be long now. Soon, my Winged Dragon of Ra will return to the field and wipe you out! And in the meantime, I have my Egyptian God Slime to serve as a wall between you and my Life Points. And now for the card that will make that all possible-- the indestructible Revival Jam! I see you recall your last encounter with my Revival Jam, when you faced my mind slave, Strings! [Flashback to Yami Yugi's duel with Strings] Now I have one more card to play-- Polymerization! This allows me to fuse my Egyptian God Slime with my Revival Jam!
So what do you think Marik is cooking up now, guys?
Unfortunately, we're about to find out!
And now the fusion of my two creatures is complete!
I assure you my Egyptian God Slime has transformed into a new more powerful beast. It's your move, so go ahead and attack it, if you dare!
Marik's fusion monster is regenerating itself!
Precisely! That's because my monster has the combined power of Egyptian God Slime and Revival Jam! My plan's complete. Thanks to my invincible defense monster, my Life Points can no longer be damaged. Therefore, defeating me is impossible, Pharaoh! Don't you see? This was my plan from the start, and you fell for it! How naive of you!
I'm not worried about a thing, Tristan. Yugi will figure out how to take that big slime ball down!
Duke
Well, it doesn't look too promising from where I'm standing!
KKaiba
[thinking] I knew this was all part of Marik's strategy all along! He let Yugi's Obelisk the Tormentor attack him on purpose! That allowed Marik to create an unstoppable Obelisk clone! Now whenever Yugi attacks it, Marik's Egyptian God Slime will absorb the blow and then regenerate itself!
Help me, Téa. [takes control of Téa's body]
Duke
You okay, Téa?
[speaking through Téa] Hold on. Listen, please. You must overpower my dark side at all costs, and don't worry about protecting me.
Say what? You're losing your marbles, Tea. Snap out of it!
MTMarik/Téa
There's no time. I have borrowed your friend's body in order to reason with you. Destroy my evil half and let the shadows take me!
[thinking] It appears my weak side doesn't know when to give up. Well, soon he'll be out of my way for good.
MTMarik/Téa
Please forgive me, Pharaoh. My family and I were charged with protecting your tomb until your return. And I always resented this task. [points to his evil half] So he was born as a result of my anger! Now, he must be destroyed, and I shall go with him!
You'll what?! Is Téa home?
[chuckles sinisterly] What a pathetic sight! You've rejected the Pharaoh for your entire life and now you beg for his forgiveness? I'm afraid it's a little too late for that, you fool. You've already created me and now your body belongs to me, and you barely exist! Just look at yourself! You're a mere shadow of the person you once were. You can never stop me! So let me finish what you started!
She's under Marik's control!
But she must be in there somewhere!
Duke
Earth to Téa!
Marik, don't do this! Please don't.
MTMarik/Téa
Do what?
Surrender your own life to stop him!
MTMarik/Téa
Sorry, sister, but there isn't another way. All right! You must take down the evil force that now controls my body, Pharaoh! And if destroying him means destroying me, then so be it!
Isn't that poetic? My weaker self would rather be swallowed by the shadows than see me win. However, I'm afraid this is all just a waste of time. There's no way I can lose! Now, then, let's get back to your defeat, shall we? My move! [draws] STAND BACK! [thinking] Now I can bring back Monster Reborn! Then Ra will follow! [speaking] I activate the magic card, Mining for Magical Stones! That's right, Pharaoh! This card allows me to transfer any magic card from my graveyard to my hand, and all I have to do is discard two cards. Of course, I've chosen this card-- Monster Reborn! You know what's next. In just one more turn, I'll bring back my Winged Dragon of Ra!
YYugi
I thought so! But his Egyptian God card is impossible to destroy!
No. There's one chance left, but it won't be easy.
You're done. VICTORY IS MINE NOW, AND WITH IT WILL COME ULTIMATE POWER!
Wait, hold on a sec. Can't you see guys see that Yugi's got himself a dilemma here?
Duke
Huh?
Just think, if Yugi beats Marik, then Marik's good side goes to the Shadow Realm. As if a creep like Marik can actually have a good side. [turns to Marik, still controlling Téa's body] This is all your fault!
MTMarik/Téa
It's all right. I've done nothing but cause them pain and they should be angry with me.
Got that right! You'd be nuts to think we trust you! Now, get out of my friend, Téa's head so Yugi can crush your evil butt once and for all, Marik!
MTMarik/Téa
I was trying to help Yugi defeat my dark side, and I needed Téa's body to speak to him because I'm unable to.
Haven't you done enough?! If it wasn't for you, we wouldn't be in this mess!
MTMarik/Téa
You're right, and for that, I am truly sorry. But there is still a way for Yugi to prevent my dark half from winning this duel. I hope he finds it.
Duke
He better, or we're all gonna be heading to the Shadow Realm soon.
Duke Devlin
This a bad sign, guys
Whoa, what you think happened here?
A gas station exploded, you brainiac.
Duke
Wait a sec? Yugi! [droves off to fast]
If I have whiplash you’re gonna hear from my lawyers!
Duke
Listen I’ve got a hunch, guys. Hold on!
YUGI! [Yami Yugi sees Joey, Tristan and Duke arrives they shocked]
[shocked] What's going on? Why's that oricahlcos thingy on Yugi's forehead.
[Joey, Tristan and Duke jumped in next Weevil and Rex.]
You guys just missed the best part.
Duke
Yeah? Then why don't you two fill us in.
I don't trust these twerps as far as I can throw 'em.
Hey! [grubs Weevil] My best buddy's got that freaky ding on his head and I want answers now!
Why don't you take your paws off of me and try asking nicely!
Wrong answer. Now it's go time!
Don't hurt me, Don't hurt me...
It's the Seal of Oricahlcos!
...Don't hurt me, Don't hurt me...
Yugi got it from that big muscle guy and then he activated it!
...Don't hurt me, Don't hurt me.
[Joey lets go off Weevil and he, Tristan and Duke gasps sees Yami Yugi faces Rafael and he using that evil spell card in horrified and Weevil panting.]
Yugi wouldn't do that! He knows that card is evil!
[The Pharaoh growls as the Orichalcos appears on his forehead]
