As part of Darakro's mysterious plan to lure in Davis and all the others they were brought to Baron World. When they arrived they were all separated, but so far both Otakat and Yekim have been defeated. As of right now Marcus and his friends were beginning to wake up wherever they were in Baron World.
"This is Baron World? Do they have a thing for red or something?" Marcus said.
"Where are we suppose to go?" Yoshi said.
"Falcomon do you see anything?" Keenan said as Falcomon was flying through the air.
"There seems to be some kind of castle a few miles away." Falcomon said.
"A castle? That's got to be where those barons are. Let's get them!" Marcus said.
"You said it boss." Agumon said as they ran ahead.
"Wait a minute you two." Thomas said, but they kept running, but then it looked like they fell down some kind of hole.
"Marcus!" Yoshi said as they ran over to where they fell and saw they were over a crystal field with Marcus and Agumon trying to keep themselves from getting pierced by them.
"Are you two okay?" Keenan said.
"That's Marcus for you. He runs head first." Lalamon said.
"A little help here." Marcus said. However Marcus saw a reflection of someone walking through the crystals. "Hey is someone there?"
"Welcome Marcus." The reflection of Sucram was appearing on the crystals.
"Sucram!" Marcus said.
"Looks like you could use some help getting down." Sucram said. An energy blast shot down the crystals they were on and brought them down on the ground.
"Okay we both know why you're here." Marcus said as he ran inside the field of crystals. "Why don't you come out somewhere I can see you?"
"I don't need to. We can duel right now, that is if you don't have the heart or spirit for it." Sucram said.
"I'm not scared of you Sucram, bring it on." Marcus said.
"Very well and may this be our final duel." Sucram said. They both activated their duel disks.
"Let's duel!" They both said at 4000LP and when the duel started the crystals were beginning to crack and shatter and Marcus was faced with Sucram.
"Here I come. I summon Gizumon to the field." Sucram said and a Gizumon came up with 1400atk points.
"A Gizumon? That use to belong to Kurata. What happened to all the dragons you had?" Marcus said.
"I have been forced to switch decks." Sucram said. "Now I hold the cards of enemies you and your friends have fought. Let's not get off subject though. I also activate the Scientist Enhancement spell. If I have Gizumon on the field then I can add Gizumon-AT to my hand. I place one face down and end my turn."
"My move now." Marcus said. "First I activate the spell Cost Down. Now if I send one card to the grave then I can lower my monsters' levels by two. Now I summon Rizegreymon." Rizegreymon came up with 2200atk points. "Next I use Rizegreymon's special ability He can destroy one card and you take 300 points of damage. Say goodbye to Gizumon."
"That will not happen. I'm activating the face down, Digital Unbreakable." Sucram said. "This will prevent you from destroying my monster this turn so your ability is negated."
"It may not be destroyed, but you're still taking damage. Rizegreymon attack with Trident Revolver." Marcus said. Rizegreymon fired the energy shots and blasted Gizumon and Sucram was brought to 3200LP. "That should be enough this turn."
"It's my move now. First Gizumon's special ability is activated." Sucram said. "It leaves the field and in its place is Gizumon-AT." Gizumon left and Gizumon-AT came up with 2000atk points. "Next I'm activating the spell Data Absorbing Containment. This gives the attack points of a monster in my grave to one on my field as long as they're both machine types. Now Gizumon's points go to Gizumon-AT." Gizumon-AT's points went to 3400. "Now attack with AT-Laser." It fired a red laser that shot Rizegreymon and Marcus was brought to 2800LP. "There's more. Whenever one of my Gizumon destroys a monster it is removed from play."
"What?!" Marcus said.
"Your Rizegreymon is gone now. Unless you have a card that can bring him back in play, he and all other monsters that will be destroyed will soon be no use to you." Sucram said.
"Man I always hated those things." Marcus said.
"I end my turn for now and sine it's the end of my turn my Gizumon's points return to normal." Sucram said and Gizumon-AT's points went to normal.
"Sucram what is up with you? This doesn't seem like how you dueled before." Marcus said.
"Just let it go. You wouldn't quite get it. I just wish to defeat you." Sucram said.
'There's more to this then what he's saying. What is going on with him?' Marcus thought.
"Marcus get your head in the game. It's your turn now." Yoshi said.
"She's right. You got to take him out while you can." Keenan said.
"I'm on it." Marcus said as he drew his card. 'The problem is I don't have anything that can beat that piece of junk. I'll have to play defense for a while.' He thought. "I summon Trainer Boxer Shield in defense mode." A coach holding up pads in his hands came up with 1800deff points. "I also place one face down and end my turn."
"My move now. Now that it's my turn my Gizumon-AT turns into Gizumon-XT." Sucram said. Gizumon-XT rose up with 2600atk points. "Go Gizumon-XT attack with XT-Laser." It fired its laser and destroyed Marcus' monster. "Don't forget all your monsters will be removed from play whenever they are destroyed by one of my Gizumon."
"That isn't going to stop me." Marcus said.
"Perhaps, but maybe this spell card will." Sucram said. "I activate the Data Demise Countdown. Now at the end of your next turn any monster you have on your field will be removed from play."
"Why would he use that when he can just use Gizumon's ability?" Gaomon said.
"Something isn't right." Thomas said.
"What is up with you Sucram? This isn't how you duel. Why not just use your own deck?" Marcus said. "Even our two Shinegreymons wanted to battle."
"I told you to let it go." Sucram said.
"Marcus something is wrong." Shinegreymon said as he appeared next to him. "He's clearly hiding something. I can feel that there's something strange going on with him."
"Yeah. I got a bad feeling about this too." Marcus said. "Look Sucram I know we're enemies, but maybe there's something I can do to help you."
"Just mind your own business. It's your move now." Sucram said.
"So if I summon a monster than on my next turn it will be destroyed?" Marcus said.
"Your face down could help you, but it's Guard Pose and it only works when you have a monster destroyed in battle." Shinegreymon said.
"So then it all comes down to what I draw." Marcus said. He drew his card and was nervous, but was relief when he saw it was a trap that can help him. "This will help a lot. I'm not going to risk losing another monster so I'm just going to place a face down and end my turn and with no monsters your bomb is useless."
"Boss what are you doing? Now you're wide open for a direct attack." Agumon said.
"I guess in the end you just couldn't beat me." Sucram said. "It's my move now. First I'm activating the Delete Laser spell. It aims one monster in your hand and removes it from play." A laser was shot at Marcus' hand and he lost his Pyro Boxer. "Now watch this. If my opponent has three monsters that have been removed from play and I have a Gizumon I can exchange my Gizumon for something much stronger. I release Gizumon to summon Belphemon." Gizumon turned into a ray of light and became Belphemon Rage Mode at 3000atk points.
"Man. This is like a Kurata nightmare." Marcus said.
"The time has come for me to finally crush you. Belphemon attack him directly with Lampranthus." Sucram said. Belphemon launched its chains in a black flame and was heading straight for Marcus and they all thought it was all over.
"Not so fast. I activate the trap Defense Of Calamity." Marcus said.
"Defense Of Calamity?" Sucram said.
"That's right. If I discard my entire hand then your monsters attack points are cut in half." Marcus said and Belphemon's points dropped to 1500. The attack did hit Marcus, but was able to withstand it and brought it to 1300.
"Quick thinking." Thomas said.
"Never thought I hear you say that about Marus." Yoshi said.
"You may have survived, but this duel isn't over yet." Sucram said. The duel with Marcus has finally come for Sucram, or is it the one he wanted.
