The scene turns around Yusei's workshop garage. Yusei is working on his D-Wheel, Jack Atlas, one of Yusei's best friends, is drinking coffee, not giving a care in the world, and dressed as he has always been, a white jumpsuit that has blue linings. After a while Crow Hogan arrives, sporting his usual black vest and orange shirt, and his criminal marks all over his face. He instantly notices Jack doing nothing which angers Crow.

"JACK! Stop wasting our money like that!" Shouted Crow at the top of his lungs.

"I'm not wasting the money, I'm buying things the king will need to keep his spot on the throne." Replied Jack, still drinking his coffee as if nothing happened.

"Yeah right, either way, Yusei's the king now if I remember correctly." At this, Crow smirks and Jack gets mad.

"What did you say?!" At this, Crow and Jack have their stare fixed on each other. Yusei having heard enough, stopped his maintenance and said

"Alright Crow that's enough." Crow backs away.

"I'm not doing anything bad Yusei, I'm just putting the "king" in his place." Crow intentionally emphasizing the king part in order to anger Jack, which he succeeds in doing so.

"What?! Do you wanna duel me?!" Say Jack, barely containing his anger in check.

"Sounds right Jack!" answered Crow, already running towards his Black Bird. "Jack... remember the Wheel of Fortune is under maintenance." Yusei reminds Jack when he saw him running towards his own D-Wheel. Jack blinked in confusion before realizing what Yusei had said.

"Ohh... that's right." Said Jack acknowledging Yusei's remark. Crow still hops on his D-Wheel.

"Good for you, I'd kick your butt anyways." Said Crow, taunting Jack in the process. Crow begins laughing while Jack scolds him. At this moment, Leo and Luna arrive, Leo seems agitated, while Luna seems preocuppied for his brother. "Yusei! I saw him again! Luna is a witness! He appeared at our room! and he stole my Power-Tool Dragon!" Shouted Leo almost crying for his lost synchro. At this, Yusei, Crow and Jack turned to look at the twins and shouted in unison

"What?!" Leo was know crying.

"He took my most powerful monster... how am I supposed to duel now?" Yusei walked towards the twins and patted Leo on the shoulder,

"Don't worry Leo, will find him, and get Power-Tool back." Leo wipes his tears off before looking up at Yusei,

"Thanks Yusei!" Luna smacked Leo on the head and immediately said

"You should be more careful on where you leave your cards Leo." Leo annoyed at what his sister said, replied

"Come on Luna, it is our home, how to know someone could sneak so easily and escape as easily!" Yusei dismissing the childish argument barged in

"Could you explain to us how exactly he got in?"

"Yeah! It would help a lot." Stated Crow, which gaved him a nod from Leo.

"I can't really explain, he just appeared and vanished instantly." Said Leo, Yusei was about to talk when suddenly, a dark mist began surrounding where the five of them where, it materialized right in the center... a human figure! Yusei held the kids behind him, Crow and Jack went to Yusei's side, preparing for battle, as the figure materialized completely.

"Hello... signers." Said the man, he was wearing a black jacket with red linings and he was wearing a dark purple t-shirt, as well as black jeans and brown boots that reached in between his knees and his ankle, which had a dark purple design on the outer part of both boots. His hair was black, short and untidy, and his eyes were black, but with red irises. Yusei was the first to speak up,

"Who are you?"

"Are you the one who stole Leo's Power-Tool?" Shouted Crow defiantly, "Answer us! What do you want from us?" Added Jack immediately.

"Ahh... yeah, where are my manners? In any case allow me to introduce myself, I don't have a real name, but you may call me Nightmare, the herald of Doom." "Nightmare… the herald of doom?" repeated Yusei, trying to recall anyone referring to himself like that.

"Hmpf, don't kid with us! You're no nightmare, you're a joke!" said Jack, obviously not feeling someone calling himself Nightmare was taking them seriously.

"If you have something to say about it keep it to yourself, ex-king." Said Nightmare, still keeping his cool despite Jack's insult.

"What did you just say?!" At this point Jack was angered to the point he clenched his fists,

"Jack calm down! he's just provoking you." Said Yusei, attempting to ease the tension that surrounded his friend.

"There's no need for that... at least for now... Leo isn't it?" Said Nightmare, looking towards Leo's direction, dismissing Jack completely.

"Ye... yes..." stuttered Leo, obviously afraid of the one who calls himself Nightmare. Pleased by seeing this, Nightmare began searching his deck holster for something, he took a card, then said

"Here..." Nightmare threw the card in Leo's direction and when he catches it, it is revealed that it is his missing Power-Tool Dragon.

"My... my Power-Tool!" instantly said Leo, overjoyed of being reunited with his favorite card. Seeing this, Yusei couldn't help but feel uneasy and said

"I don't get it... why did you stole it if you were going to return it anyways?" Nightmare smirked and said

"I needed it for my experiment... as well as all of your signer dragons..." At this, all in the room stared directly at Nightmare.

"You must be wrong of the head if you think will hand over our dragons Nightmare!" said Crow, unconsciously touching his deck holster.

"Don't count on it... Nightmare!" Said Jack, not pleased with the idea of having his Red Demons Dragon taken away from him.

"No need for you to hand them to me, just as I did with little Leo's Power-Tool, I already took each of your signer dragons, and return them to their original positions." All were genuinely surprised by Nightmare's statement.

"What?!" Was the only thing Yusei could say.

"You can't be serious!" stated Crow,

"But... how is it possible?" asked Jack, completely dumbfounded.

"I have a special ability that allows me to teleport short distances" Started explaining Nightmare, leaving all in the room completely speechless.

"Now, I'll be sincere with you, I came here to beat all of you Signers." Yusei and the others didn't like the sound of that, to which Yusei said

"For what purpose?"

"That's none of your business... Yusei. Let's just have it, that I want to beat the strongest duelists around..." Said Nightmare almost casually.

"If what you want is to duel with us we couldn't have it any other way!" said Jack, eager to bring this new challenger down.

"Bring it on! I'll be your opponent!" Said Crow, not wanting to miss the chance of beating this new duelist.

"Don't be so eager... Crow, I'll beat all of you in a systematic way, ascending from bottom... all the way to the top... and my first opponent will be... you two! Leo and Luna!" proclaimed Nightmare, pointing at the twins. All in the room were surprised by this announcement. Leo and Luna looked on in horror as Nightmare began walking towards them.

"Let them out of this! They are only kids! I'll be your opponent! Let's have a duel!" exclaimed Jack, not wanting the twins to face this dangerous foe. "Nightmare, Jack is right! Let any of us be your opponent, but let the twins out if it!" said Yusei, almost pleading with Nightmare.

"I'm sorry, but I'm supposed to beat you all, and unluckily for them they are included." Said Nightmare, not showing any glimpse of remorse whatsoever. "Nightmare!" exclaimed Yusei, no longer keeping his anger in check.

"Don't worry Yusei!" Yusei, Jack and Crow all stared back down at Leo, as he holds up his thumb.

"I'll beat him no problem, trust me!" Leo proclaimed, trying to look strong for his sister.

"Leo..." began Yusei, seeing if he can convince the boy to do otherwise.

"At least he shows some guts." Said Jack, liking Leo's resolve to face the Herald of Doom.

"Don't forget about me! I'll fight too!" exclaimed Luna, not wanting to be left out.

"Yes, we'll have a tag duel indeed; let me present to you my partner..." said Nightmare as he extended a hand towards his side, when he did a gray cloud suddenly appeared, materializing out of Nightmare's hand, as it began developing an orange aura around itself, fusing with the gray cloud and finally coming to life.

"I present to you... Zmoke... the cyber duelist." Said Nightmare after his creation fully materialized. Zmoke is a robot, composed of gray metal platings and orange trimmings, as well as glowing orange eyes covered by a helmet.

"Awaiting commands." Said Zmoke in a robotic and monotone voice. Everyone stared at Zmoke, amazed at how he appeared and at his physical form.

"I'm not scared! I can beat you! I won't let you harm Luna!" proclaimed Leo, trying to intimidate Zmoke, obviously not getting any emotion out of it.

"Thank you Leo!" said Luna, pleased by how her brother is always there to protect her.

"Fine... Let's go outside, Zmoke follow my lead." Said Nightmare in a commanding voice towards his partner,

"Affirmative." Was the only thing Zmoke said before turning around and following its master.


Nightmare and Zmoke warped outside to the Main Plaza, with Leo, Luna and the others coming shortly afterward. An engine can be heard at the distance, Nightmare's D-Wheel appears, and parks itself behind him. He approaches his D-Wheel, and takes out the Duel Disk before swiftly strapping it in his left arm. Shortly afterward, another engine can be heard, this one passed by Nightmare and parked beside Yusei. The female rider removed her helmet, revealing herself to be Akiza Izinski, wearing her racing gear. Aki looked to be shocked as she began approaching Yusei.

"Yusei! I saw that rare D-wheel that appeared out of nowhere and was advancing without a rider, and I followed it here... who is he? and what is that robot?" Aki didn't wasted time in what completely intrigued her.

"Aki, glad you came, that duelist refers to himself as Nightmare, the Herald of Doom, apparently he wants to defeat us all, and that robot is known as Zmoke, he's Nightmare's servant... Luna and Leo are about to duel with them." Said Yusei, rounding up the situation for Aki.

"Aki! Watch as Luna and I defeat this guy and his robot!" shouted Leo, acknowledging Aki as she just arrived.

"Give it your all... Leo." Said Luna, to which Leo turning to face her

"You too Luna, don't worry, I'll protect you!" reassuring her sister that everything is going to be alright. Nightmare comes to Zmoke's side and says "The rules are simple, we'll follow the common Tag Duel rules, you can't give tips to your partner and you can't exchange strategies, you can only play with what they left you on the field. We'll play 8000 LP a piece, once the LP reach zero, you lose."

"We already know that! Let's duel!" said an impatient Leo, willing to get this over with soon.

"My my, aren't we impatient? Very well... Zmoke! Initiate battle mode!" commanded Nightmare to his partner,

"Battle mode engaged! Time to duel!" was the robot's reply.

Dragon/Zmoke/Leo/Luna: DUEL!

"First turn is yours!" exclaimed Nightmare.

"Alright! My turn! Draw!" shouted Leo loud and clear.

Leo's hand contains Morphtronic Celfon, Morphtronic Bind, Morphtronic Accelerator, Morphtronic Boarden and Morphtronic Radion, he just drew United We Stand.

"I'll start with this, Morphtronic Celfon in attack mode!" The little cellphone morphtronic appeared as a common cellphone, opening up and revealing its true form.

Morphtronic Celfon ATK 100/DEF 100

"Now I'll activate Celfon's effect! DIAL ON!"

Celfon's chest numbers begin blinking randomly, and it stops at 3.

"Alright! I get to look at my top 3 cards, and if a Morphtronic is within them, I can special summon it to the field!"

Leo draws 3 cards, Monster Reborn, Morphtronic Scopen and Double Tool C&D.

"Yes! I get to special summon Morphtronic Scopen! Also in attack mode!" A Scientific scope appears on the field, moving around a bit and showing its eyes.

Morphtronic Scopen ATK 800/DEF 1400

"Now Scopen's effect! It let's me special summon a level 4 or lower Morphtronic monster from my hand, now come! Morphtronic Radion!" A radio appeared on the field alongside the Celfon, as it gradually spreads its body parts.

Morphtronic Radion ATK 1000-1800/DEF 900

Morphtronic Celfon ATK 100-900/DEF 100

Morphtronic Scopen ATK 800-1600/1400

"Now, I'll tune my Scopen with my Radion for a Synchro Summon!" Scopen dissolves into three green rings as Radion jumps in between and dissolves into four light balls.

"Docking strength with courage to protect the earth's peace! Synchro Summon! Envoy of love and justice, Power Tool Dragon!" The yellow toy dragon appears on the field with its mechanized roar, looking down on Nightmare and Zmoke.

Power-Tool Dragon ATK 2300/DEF 2500

Morphtronic Celfon ATK 900-100/DEF 100

Crow: "Excelent! Leo got his ace monster at the first turn!"

Leo: "Now! Power-Tool Dragon's effect lets me get a random equip spell from my deck to my hand!"

Leo's duel disk begins shuffling, laying out a card, Leo takes it, it is Double Tool C&D.

"Yes! I equip Power-Tool Dragon with Double Tool C&D! and I set one card face-down... I end my turn!"

Luna: "Nice work Leo!"

Leo: "Thanks Luna!"

Yusei: "Impressive, Leo."

Jack: "Don't let your guard down! You still don't know what deck your opponents are using!"

Nightmare looked at the toy dragon with amusement, grinning, he issued his next command to his partner. "Zmoke, take our first turn." Zmoke hearing this, immediately places its hand over its deck "Affirmative... I draw!"
