[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.
[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!
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!
Okay, Wheeler, enough playing around! Up until this point, I've been going easy on you. But you're starting to bug me, so the time has come to unleash the fury of my ultimate monster! I summon the Larvae Moth!
It's…the bug that Weevil used against Yugi!
[snickers] I see your memory's better than your dueling, Wheeler. Then you probably know that you're about to get demolished! Once I wrap my terrifying Larvae in the all-powerful Cocoon of Evolution!
[exclaims] This isn't good!
[laughs] Over the next five turns, the Cocoon of Evolution will transform my mere Larvae Moth into a huge beast known as the Perfectly Ultimate Great Moth!
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!
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!
You and your mind slave will never win my Puzzle, Marik!
[makes the first move; under Marik's control and in distorted voice] I disagree. And now, I set one card facedown. And play this monster in attack mode. Meet Humanoid Slime! This is the beginning of the end for you, Pharaoh. So make your move and prepare to lose everything!
You will fail! [thinking; sighs] Since he played a really weak monster I bet he wants me to attack it. Then he'll use his facedown card to destroy my monster. Well there's no way I'm gonna let him get away with it! [speaking] I also set one card facedown. And then I'll summon a monster known as Gazelle the King of Mythical Beasts in attack mode! A stronger beast than yours.
SMStrings/Marik
Yes, your monster is almost twice as strong as mine. But don't be so confident that your Gazelle will prevail.
SMStrings/Marik
Then you won't be surprised when my Humanoid Slime annihilates your monster.
I'd like to see you try that, Marik.
SMStrings/Marik
Very well. I summon Worm Drake! Now watch what happens when I activate my magic card. Time for Polymerization! I'll use it to fuse Humanoid Slime and Worm Drake together into a diabolical new monster! Behold, my new weapon: Humanoid Worm Drake! Its 2200 attack points are more than enough to destroy your Gazelle as well as a portion of your Life Points!
When you fuse two monsters together, you must wait one turn before you can attack. So you've left yourself wide open, Marik.
SMStrings/Marik
That's of no concern to me. Rules are meant to be manipulated. And my facedown card will take care of that task for me. I've simply outsmarted you, Pharaoh.
SMStrings/Marik
Just as you wish! Reveal facedown card; the Quick Attack magic card!
SMStrings/Marik
Very perceptive. Quick Attack allows my monster to attack in the same turn it was formed! You've underestimated me as a duelist… and for that, you must pay a price, so watch as I destroy your monster and move one step closer to relieving you of your Millennium Puzzle forever!
SMStrings/Marik
Very impressive dueling. But I'm just testing out your strengths and weaknesses so that I can ultimately destroy you and take away all that you possess! It's time for round two, and this duel is about to get interesting. Are you ready? [draws] The card I now hold is like nothing you've ever seen before. It is a creature that simply cannot be destroyed.
It's a shapeless being made completely of plasma with no solid mass. Making it utterly indestructible and the perfect defense against enemy attack.
SMStrings/Marik
So prepare to experience… Revival Jam in defense mode! Just try to attack it! You will fail, I tell you!
It looks weak to me, Marik.
SMStrings/Marik
It looks weak, does it? Well, take a look at this! It's my Jam Breeding Machine! And it begins the countdown to your destruction!
You've activated my trap card!
SMStrings/Marik
Trap card?!
My Lightforce Sword! This trap card allows me to slash one card out of your hand for the duration of the turn! Which lowers your dragon's attack points back to 3,000, making it weaker than my monster! Now, Buster Blader, swing your mighty sword and slay his dragon! Your Egyptian God card is defeated!
SMStrings/Marik
Not exactly! You forgot my Jam Defender is still in play, which means my Revival Jam will intercept all your attacks! And from now on, this magic card will also be in play… Card of Safe Return!
SMStrings/Marik
Yes. This rare magic card lets me draw three new cards every time my Jam Defender reforms itself. This brings the cards in my hand up to five, giving Slifer the Sky Dragon a grand total of 5,000 attack points so far!
5,000 points?! Now what?!
SMStrings/Marik
And now, Slifer the Sky Dragon, destroy his Buster Blader! And take a bite out of his Life Points! Do you surrender yet? You're finished! Slifer will only get stronger, and thanks to my Jam Defender, you still can't attack, Pharaoh. For if you do, I'll draw more cards and Slifer will grow even more powerful! Don't you realize there's no way you can win? Hand over your Puzzle. Once my Egyptian God card finishes you off, your days as Pharaoh will be over! [laughs evilly]
[thinking] None of my monsters are strong enough to beat his Sky Dragon. So I'm gonna need the right magic card to do it! Come on, heart of the cards, guide me! [speaking] Here I go! Now. [thinking] Magic Cylinder. This could do the trick, but it has to be combined with a magician card to work. And I'm in luck, 'cause I'm holding the Dark Magician Girl! Perfect! [speaking] Alright, I sacrifice Kuriboh… to summon Dark Magician Girl in defense mode!
SMStrings/Marik
By summoning a new monster to the field, you've activated my dragon's special ability!
SMStrings/Marik
Its second mouth!
Slifer is full of surprises!
SMStrings/Marik
Even if it's your turn, Slifer will automatically attack every monster you summon with its second set of jaws, wiping out 2,000 points from which ever mode your monster is in. So say goodbye to your Dark Magician Girl!
Oh, no! She only has 1,700 defense points.
SMStrings/Marik
Slifer, attack!
It's time for me to save my Dark Magician Girl!
SMStrings/Marik
It's too late! Observe!
SMStrings/Marik
It really is a pity that your magician had to leave us so soon.
Guess again! I activated Magical Hats just in time.
So she's hiding inside one of those hats?
Not just hiding. She's inside preparing to launch a counterattack.
Yugi, your monster's not strong enough! Not to defeat Slifer!
It's true that your dragon is powerful, Marik, but I have faith. And so I place two cards facedown… beneath my Magical Hats.
SMStrings/Marik
Your hats merely provide you with a temporary hiding place. [draws] And in the meantime, Pharaoh, I'll play my own magic card, and it will make my dragon's power infinite! You see… Infinite Cards lets me exceed the six-card limit and hold as many cards as I wish in my hand!
SMStrings/Marik
Since Slifer gets 1,000 attack points for every card in my hand, now there's no limit to my monster's power! Slifer, unleash your Thunder Force, on the right-hand hat!
You made a lucky guess, Marik!
You couldn't hide her forever.
Hold on, Marik. Your Sky Dragon's special ability means its second mouth has to attack any new monster that appears on my side of the field! That means before you can destroy me, your monster must attack my Revival Jam! [Slifer attacks] You know what happens now.
Revival Jam revives itself again!
And each time a monster regenerates, you have to draw three more cards from your dueling deck!
[thinking] This can't be! Whenever Revival Jam reappears on the field, my dragon automatically attacks it. And since Yami controls Revival Jam, it will revive itself on his side of the field, which makes me draw three new cards. Then my dragon will attack again! Each event triggers the next in a neverending cycle! First attack... then regenerate... then draw! My Egyptian God Card will continue to grow stronger with each cycle as I draw more cards, but it doesn't matter because I'm trapped! [speaking] There's no way out!
That's right, Marik. Once you run out of cards to draw, you will automatically lose this duel!
No! This can't be happening!
As powerful as your Egyptian God Card is, no monster is without weakness, and the Sky Dragon's flaw lies within its special ability: its Second Mouth attack!
I have no control over my Egyptian God Monster! As long as Yami's Brain Control is in effect, my dragon will keep attacking Revival Jam, and my mind slave will keep drawing cards until... [decks out] No!
I turned your dragon against you, causing you to use up all the cards in your dueling deck!
That means I win! It's over!
MMako
Flying Fish, attack my opponent's Life Points directly!
MMako
And now I'll place one card facedown and complete my turn. Feel the power of my sea deck! Mako Tsunami will show no mercy!
Fine. Who's asking you to?
MMako
For years, I have searched for my lost father in the open seas and I've used nothing but a small wooden fishing boat. Every time I battles the mighty ocean waters, I become stronger! And no matter how difficult I struggled, I have vowed to stop searching until I find him! I face my dueling opponents with the same determination and I fight every duel in honor of my father. I know in my heart we'll be reunited someday, but until that time… even though he's not right here, he continues to inspire me and give me strength!
Guess what? I got someone who inspires me like that also. My little sister, Serenity. And guess what else? I don't show any mercy, either, pal.
MMako
Then on with the duel, my friend!
[The two Rare Hunters reveal themselves as Lumis and Umbra, the same two duelists Yugi and Kaiba defeated before]
Before the fun begins, allow us to introduce ourselves. I am Lumis!
You defeated us once before, but I assure you, you won't be so lucky in this duel.
And if we do, then you'll release our friends and family?
Perhaps. But there is no way you'll win! Now let me explain the rules of this match. It will be a double duel. Us against you two. Each duelist will receive 4000 Life Points. You must defeat both of the other team's duelists in order to win. And as for the losers? They'll pay a very hefty price… A trip to the Shadow Realm! [Yami Yugi and Kaiba both gasp] You'll be delivered to the dark world in the most ingenious of ways. Notice where you're standing-- on a thin surface above a 50-story light shaft that runs all the way to the ground floor… but if you fall, you'll never reach the bottom! That's because the very surface on which we stand is a divider between our world… [laughs] and the dreaded Shadow Realm. Each duelist's Life Points will be displayed in the magic shadowbox on the floor beside you. When your Life Points reach zero, the surface below you will be destroyed, opening up a vortex that leads directly to the Shadow Realm! And according to Battle City rules, your rules, when we take your Egyptian God cards! Ready? [laughs wickedly] Looks like I've left you speechless.
I was just waiting for you to finish. Do you have your guarantee that my brother's alright?
Yes, but I wouldn't count on seeing him again.
Once you're in the Shadow Realm, there are no visitors!
It looks as if you've just made your second mistake today, Rare Hunter. The first was kidnapping my brother and the second was challenging me!
We'll see about that, Kaiba!
[as he and Kaiba both activate their duel disks] And I will rescue my friends!
Very touching. But we duel for our master, Marik, and losing is not an option! Our decks were specially assembled to take down your Egyptian God cards and that's just what we'll do!
And once we deliver them to Master Marik, he'll possess all three Egyptian God cards! In the meantime, you'll be spending all of eternity in the Shadow Realm! So if you're ready, let's duel!
I summon Shining Abyss in defense mode!
[laughs] Now it's time to show you how we duel together!
That's right, Yugi! Activate Mask of Brutality!
Thank you, Lumis, your mask will be a perfect fit for my monster!
Not only that, Umbra, but it will boost your monster's attack power by a thousand points!
What?! These rare hunters already have a monster on the field with 2600 attack points!
That's right! And it will stay that way as long as we each give 1,000 Life Points for every turn we plan to use Mask of Brutality!
