So much for the Big Five. I should never have hired those corporate clowns!
[on virtual screen] Excellent dueling, Téa!
[on virtual screen] Thanks, Yugi.
How could they be out-dueled by these two in a virtual world where I make all the rules? If you want something done right, you have to do it yourself, so perhaps it's time for me to step in. I'll make sure they never leave this place!
On behalf of myself and the Big Five, I want to offer your our most sincere apologies, Noah.
There's nothing to explain! You five failed me for the last time! Now you're all fired!
Your slick lawyer talk won't get you out of this one, Johnson, so don't even try it. So far your partners Gansley and Crump each suffered an embarrassing defeat. So why should I believe the rest of you won't fail? I have no choice, Johnson. I must dispose of you all!
Please, Noah! Don't do it! We've analyzed our attack patterns and we come up with a solid dueling strategy that is guaranteed to bring success, sir! Understand our position. The Big Five are desperate to defeat these brats. It's the only way we can take over their bodies and leave the cyber world behind! We can't let them win!
Very well. I'll give you a chance to redeem yourself. Don't let me down.
No. 'Cause if they fail me again, he will be the sorry one. Their failures are a reflection of me. And I can't allow Yugi and his friends to make me look like a failure.
Objection. Before we begin, you have to choose a monster from your deck to serve as your Deck Master.
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.
[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.
[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.
[calling out to Noah] Noah, I don't know who you are, kid, but I'll find out! I know you can hear everything I say and no matter what you're after and who's helping you, you'll never succeed! Never. So if you're so powerful, why don't you come down here and face me, you coward!
All in good time, Seto. All in good time.
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!
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]
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!
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]
[screams overwhelmingly] WHAT DID I DO TO DESERVE ALL THIS?!
I've never seen him have such terrible luck before. Poor Joey.
[as Joey activates his Gamble trap card; to Yugi] Gamble?
Yep. It's a risky card, Téa, but if it works, it can help Joey turn this entire duel around, and it starts with a coin.
And what exactly is so risky about it, Yugi?
Well, Joey flips a coin in the air, then he calls heads or tails, and if he's right, he gets to draw five cards, but if he's wrong, Joey's next turn gets skipped and he can't afford to let that happen. It could cost him the entire duel!
He can take all the risks he wants, because in my virtual courtroom, I control everything!
YYugi
[thinking] There's something fishy about this Johnson guy. It seems like more than just bad luck that's holding Joey down.
Yes, Yugi. I agree… Much more. Johnson is controlling the outcome of Joey's moves. I've been sensing it since the beginning of this duel. This judge is cheating.
YYugi
I knew it! We've got to step in, or Joey's mind will be trapped here!
[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!
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.
[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?
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!
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!
All right, my Deck Master is gonna be Strike Ninja!
I pick… uh, Goddess with the Third Eye.
I choose Super Roboyarou.
And I'll be acting as my own Deck Master, Robotic Knight. And just to make this duel more interesting, we'll be battling above a sea of radioactive waste. Play by the rules and you won't fall in. There's one regulation in particular I'll be strictly enforcing. Under no circumstances are any of you to discuss your strategy with one another. Break this rule and you'll plummet into the toxic abyss below!
Tristan, wait! How can I duel without your advice?
You can do this! Just believe in yourself!
[Duel commences]
The female shall begin this battle. Engage!
Whatever you say. [draws] Here goes! Let's see. Which card should I play? Ahh, that's the one! Now, I'm going to summon Shadow Tamer, in attack mode!
[speechless] Wait! In attack mode?!
Oh, I didn't mess up already, did I?
[thinking] That monster is too weak to play in attack mode!
Nah, you did just fine. Really! You're a natural!
[thinking] Yeah, a natural disaster.
All right, Nezbitt! My move! [thinking] I've gotta lead this metal meathead away from Serenity's monster! [speaking] So now I play Cyber Commander! Come and get me, punk!
[thinking] Tristan played a weaker monster than Serenity so Nezbitt will attack him instead! [speaking] I guess it's up to me now! Let's see.
[thinking] Come on, Duke. Use your head for once! Just play a lame monster so Robo-Geek will attack you instead of blasting for Serenity!
I summon The 13th Grave now, in defense mode!
[thinking] Way to look out for your teammates, Duke.
It's time for me to accelerate into high gear, with this! Giga-Tech Wolf! Attack the female's Shadow Tamer!
Oh, no! He went after Serenity's monster!
[heartbroken over the loss of Tristan; thinking] I ruined everything! Thanks to me, Tristan is… who knows where?!
Serenity, we may be able to bring Tristan back, but we gotta play our best! Now it's time for you to get up, brush yourself off, and duel! Serenity! [Serenity doesn't respond back; thinking] It's no use. [speaking] All right, we'll skip her turn!
Very well. It makes no difference to me.
[draws a Dice Dungeon field spell card; thinking] Awesome! This is gonna be tricky, but if it works, it could pay off big time. I just need a little luck. [speaking] I activate Dimensionhole! This magic card removes a monster from the field for one turn and I'm using it on my own monster, Dark Assailant! So your Machine King loses 100 attack points since my Dark Assailant is no longer on the field to give him extra power. And it gets better… check out this magic card!
Play whatever you'd like. There's absolutely nothing that can save you now.
Is that so? Not even this?
A Dice Dungeon magic card?
You don't know me, but let's just say I know a thing or two about dice. And now it's time for me to roll you right out of this duel, 'cause I'm changing this card game into a dice game! Now, I activate Dimension Dice and Dice Dungeon! This transforms the playing field into a dice board.
What exactly do you plan to do with this dice game of yours?
You'll find out soon enough, Nezbitt, when my high rolling sends you back to the junkyard!
I'm afraid you'll need a lot more than a few dice to dismantle a super human machine like myself, so make your move!
For starters, I'll sacrifice Yaranzo and The 13th Grave. This allows me to summon a super human creature of my own. Meet Orgoth the Relentless! Now you longer have those two monsters to give power to your Machine King, which means old tinfoil pants loses 200 more attack points! And now that that's out of the way, it's time for us to start our dice game, and this is how it's gonna work. We'll each pick a monster to step onto the dice board and we'll take turns rolling the die.
As you wish, foolish boy. I'll choose my still-powerful Machine King.
And I'll place Orgoth on the board. All right, I roll first! The die will determine my monster's strength. [the dice lands on a six] Oh, yeah, six, baby! That roll doubles its attack points. Not bad at all. Let's see… that gives Orgoth a total of 5,000 points. Time to see what Machine King's power will be.
[The dice lands on a one]
Ha! You rolled a measly one! That means Machine King loses 1,000 attack points!
Are you making these regulations up as you go?
Check the rulebook. Now the fun starts! Orgoth, prepare for assault! Now attack his Machine King with Diamond Blade Strike! This one's for Tristan! Goodbye, Machine King. Hello, scrap pile!
[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!
Now her St. Joan has 3200 attack points.
Yeah, but his Perfect Machine King still has more points. St. Joan needs another power boost!
