Just stand back and do as I say!
Silence! There's business to discuss first. I'll help you to reclaim your body but I have a price!
Very well then. If we win the duel, I'll give you the Millennium Rod.
Sorry, Marik. That's our old deal. Now I need more. What's that I heard about you seeking the power of the Pharaoh? Is there a magic stronger than that of the seven Millennium Items that you haven't told me about? I want to know what secrets you're keeping from me, Marik. Tell me everything and we have a deal.
If we win, I'll tell you all.
Then let's begin. I don't trust you at all but this time I know you need me.
You heard your better half, you fiend. Now prepare for a one-way trip to the Shadow Realm! [laughs]
Seems you're a bit confused. I'm going to bring the darkness of the Shadow Realm right here so it can consume you piece by piece! [laughs] Blackness, surround us! Prepare for a battle like no other! For in this duel, the eternal darkness of the Shadow Realm will slowly devour the loser as his life points diminish!
Very well. Let's duel! And now, let the destruction commence! [draws] I see the cards in my deck are already showing you no mercy.
[thinking] Mercy is for the weak, like you, my friend!
First off, I'll place this facedown. Then, I shall summon the terrifying Goblin Zombie in attack mode! Are you scared yet?
Ha! Scared of that? No! [draws] I'll place a card facedown, and summon Drillago! Attack him, NOW!
Fool! You've activated my trap card, Fearful Earthbound!
Yes, you're first mistake! Your first of many!
I knew you wouldn't be able to resist attacking my zombie, and now, I'm going to punish you for your fatal error by weakening your life points!
Sounds to me like you didn't draw what you needed. Fortunately, I can give you one more chance at it. That is, if you don't mind my help. Open Facedown card, Multiple Destruction!
My trap card forces both players to discard their hands to the graveyard, then let's us draw five new cards from our decks. Of course, there is a downside to playing this card. The duelist who uses it loses 100 life points for each card he throws away.
[thinking] Is this a trick?! Why is he destroying himself?!
Who's stalling now? It's your move.
Still no Winged Dragon! I've failed again!
Get ready to enter the darkness at the hands of Ra!
Don't you realize that I am the darkness!?
[Chuckles] What's that supposed to mean?
It's quite simple. It means I can't be destroyed! You haven't seen the last of me! [laughs evilly while his body disappears into the Shadow Realm, leaving only the Millenium Ring behind, which falls to the ground]
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!
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]
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!
Yeah! We'll kick your big-business butts!
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.
If we stick together, they won't stand a chance!
Don't worry, I got your back, man.
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]
All this stuff looks pretty real. It's hard to believe that everything here is virtual.
[voice-over] Well, you'd better get used to this place, because I'm going to make sure you never leave! [rises out from under the water in the form of Deepsea Warrior] Are you familiar with the phrase, "It's time to duel?" Well, this is the last time you're ever going to hear it! Why, you look as though you don't recognize me, boy. Now you've gone and hurt my feelings. Well, I'm Gansley! Former Vice President of Business Strategy at Kaiba Corp and a proud founding member of the Big Five! But for now, I've taken the form of the Deepsea Warrior.
Big deal, Gansley! You don't scare me! I know that behind your virtual disguise is nothing but a feeble old man! You wouldn't stand a chance in a duel against me if your life depended on it!
Did you say "my life?" Yugi… once I defeat you, I'll finally have a life again!
Listen, Gansley, you and your partners won't succeed in trapping my friends here. Mark my words!
Really? That's if you can keep up with the new rules.
Very well. You remember my demonstration of our patented Deck Master System of dueling, don't you? It begins with each upon us picking a monster to serve as our Deck Master for the duration of the duel. And since I've already taken the form of a monster, lucky me… I will serve as both the duelist and the Deck Master! Now, it's time for you to build your virtual deck.
With these. Your cards aren't valid in this world, so you'll have to build a new deck from our card database. When you see a card you desire, simply touch it. Choose wisely, for once you make contact with a card image, it's yours for the entire length of the duel. Careful. Don't let any gems slip by.
All right, let's begin this duel.
How quickly we forget. You still have to choose your Deck Master. Each monster card has its own Deck Master ability under our new system. Of course, I won't tell you what those abilities are. You'll have to figure that out for yourself.
YYugi
[thinking] What card should I choose to be my Deck Master? Without knowing all the new rules, it's hard to say. Well, my Dark Magician's never let me down!
[As Yami Yugi is about to choose Dark Magician, Kuriboh appears, accidentally being chosen as his Deck Master]
Hold on! I didn't choose him!
Sorry, the rules state once a Deck Master is chosen, it cannot be changed.
Great. I didn't choose you, but now we must win this together. Kuriboh is now my Deck Master!
Suit yourself. As you know, I've chosen Deepsea Warrior. He's powerful and ruthless, like me. But enough chatting...let's get down to business! [Duel commences] I think I'll go first, if you don't mind. I summon a monster facedown in defense mode. And that's all for now. What fun would it be if I wiped out everything you own so soon? [thinking] Now, let's see if this slacker takes my bait. [speaking] It's your move. But realize it's only a matter of time before I eliminate all your Life Points! Poor Yugi. You haven't the business skills necessary to wheel-and-deal with a mogul like me!
Listen, Gansley… Duel Monsters is about honor, trust and respect. Not about business skills and making deals. So save your corporate speeches for the boardroom and stop wasting my time.
Why worry about time? Once I defeat you, you'll have nothing but time, as you spend all of eternity trapped right here!
You've lost more than half your Life Points, Yugi. Soon I'll take over your body, leaving your mind trapped in this virtual abyss!
You'll never get away with this, Gansley!
Just watch me! [draws; thinking] Ah, this will do nicely. [speaking] I summon Yowie in attack mode! Of course, Yowie's arrival forbids you from drawing a card next turn-- making him a valuable asset! Now I'll play the magic card-- Premature Burial! All I have to do is invest a mere of my Life Points. This allows me to revive one of my former monsters! Ipiria, return! I told you I've employed an unlimited team of monsters, Yugi! My workforce already outnumbers your monsters to two, And my staff will continue to grow! So, why don't you go ahead and launch your attack. With my monsters on the front line, you'll never get to me!
Let me guess, you've had enough suffering and you want to give up.
Fine. You're only 500 Life Points away from annihilation, anyway.
I've been in tougher spots, before. Now make your move.
Very well. [draws; thinking] Excellent! Rainbow Snake Eingana. It could wipe him out right now with one strike, but what fun would that be? I need to drag this duel out a bit longer. So let's see… Ah, yes. [speaking] I summon Melchid the Four-Face Beast in attack mode! My first order of business is to take down your Obnoxious Celtic Guardian. My Four-Face Beast should have enough power to crush it and take a bite out of your Life Points in the process! NOW! Melchid the Four-Face Beast, eliminate his Obnoxious Celtic Guardian with quadruple smash attack!
Hello?! Is anyone in there?
Of course. Open your eyes and look around, will ya? You're surrounded by my penguin army.
I know! I meant is there anyone in without feathers and a beak?
There's no one here but us penguins, Téa!
I know more than that, Téa Gardner… five-foot five, size six sneaker… I've got all the numbers in my report. And I'd say your number is up! Because I'm about to put the freeze on you!
Who are you? And what do you want from me, anyway?!
Don't tell me you forgot our last meeting. [reveals himself in the form of Nightmare Penguin]
I think I'd remember you.
Look, things are never what they appear to be here, so when we met earlier, I looked a bit different. Give up? I'm one of the Big Five! The name's Crump, former accountant of Kaiba Corp.
Yes, and I'll explain all that soon. But for starters, let's do a quick run through your numbers.
Nice try! Looks like my iceberg dueling field is about to leak you cold! Before we start, we'll have to choose our virtual decks from this card database. Not that it really matters what cards you decide to pick. The probability that you'll be victorious is slim to none!
How am I supposed to choose when I've never even seen most of these cards before? [realizes; thinking] Wait! That one actually looks sort of familiar! [starts selecting some cards] Good thing I've spent so many hours watching Yugi and Joey duel.
Okay. As per the rules, it's time to choose your Deck Master. It can be any monster in your deck.
I know exactly who I want to choose… So check it out! [chooses Dark Magician Girl] Dark Magician Girl's my Deck Master, who's yours?
I've already taken the form of a monster known as Nightmare Penguin, you fool! So I'm both the duelist and the Deck Master. Two threats in one! And once you're on ice, I'll be free to waddle my way to the real world!
Guess again, Crump! It's time to duel, shorty!
To begin, I'll place one card facedown…and then I'll summon Ancient Elf to the field! And that's all for now, Crump.
Now, the fun begins. Watch this. I'll start off by summoning my Giant Red Seasnake! And he gets a little power boost!
How did your snake get more attack points already?!
Well, my Deck Master's special ability increases the attack power of every water monster on my side of the dueling field. So now, my snake has 2,000 attack points and as a number you can't argue with!
That's what you think! So, are going to attack me or what?!
Now I activate this card, Offerings to the Doomed! Looks like I've got this duel all wrapped up, 'cause my magic card destroys one of your monsters! See ya, Snakey! Now for my facedown monster. I'll switch it from defense to attack mode! Reveal Fire Sorcerer! Pretty cool, right? And now, it's time to warm things up a bit. Much better. Next I'll activate Fire Sorcerer's special ability. By discarding two of my cards, I'm able to burn through 800 of your Life Points!
And don't think I'm finished with you yet, Crump! Fire Sorcerer, put that bird on the hot seat! And since you lost Life Points, your own rule gets turned against you! How do you like being frozen?
I absolutely love it. If you hadn't noticed, I'm a penguin and we like things on the cool side. Or do you need a lesson on Antarctic birds?
You are weird little bird, Crump. [thinking] And I'm in the mood for a barbecue. [draws] What's this? Maha Vailo? No, he's not powerful enough! There's no way he'll beat Flying Penguin!
Téa, don't give up so fast. He has a secret skill that can help you.
Huh? What kind of a skill? Hold on, I remember this! Yugi once told me about this card.
[Flashback to that time]
You wanna know which card is most like me?
Wait, I know. Well, I think I know. It's that purple guy with the big hat, right?
Uh, big hat? Oh, you mean my Dark Magician card. Well, even though it's pretty great, I don't think it's the card that's most like me. Okay. Ah. This is the one! Pretty cool, right?
He may not be as strong as the Dark Magician, well. not when you first look at him anyway. But if you look closer, you'll see a hidden power deep inside.
[Flashback ends]
[thinking] Of course! It's hidden strength! [speaking] I'm not done yet! Now, I summon Maha Vailo in attack mode!
Wait, I'm not done! Check this out! I activate Magic Formula, raising my monster's attack points by 500!
You must've failed all of your math forces, kid, because it's still too short on attack points to defeat my Flying Penguin!
I guess you don't know about Maha Vailo's hidden power. He gets 500 extra attack points for each one of my magic cards!
Oh, it's fair! Go, Maha Vailo! Attack his Flying Penguin with Sacred Lightning! Add this up, Crump! Extra crispy fried penguin, anyone?
