Yuto, in absolute confusion: How could Sosuke become such a thing?
Nakahara: We believe it has to do with the cards he plays.
Iris: What kind of cards?
Nakahara: Monsters that were sealed a long time ago due to its massive power.
Iris: Last time I checked, Sosuke wasn't really big on Monsters with high power.
Nakahara: Doesn't matter. The point is he has them, and forbidden cards with tremendous power can lead to a corrupted Duelist.
Yuto: But why would he use those cards?
Nakahara: Not sure, but it most likely links up to the Duel Disks harming people.
Yuto: Well, we have to get rid of those cards before they cause more harm.
Nakahara: Not likely going to happen. He Duels until he wins, and he continues to attack with all of his Monsters, even if his opponent has none.
Iris, shocked: That's terrible!
Yuto, determined: It's all because of those cards that are corrupting him, but my cards shall purify him again. I have to face him. It's my Deck that will cleanse his heart. I swear, on my very soul, I will pull him out of the darkness drowning him.
?: How pathetic. How can a Duelist with no talent possibly face Avatar?
Yuto, turning towards the figure, who also has criminal markers on his face: Who are you? And what gives you the right to call me pathetic?
Snake: The name's Jace Kurosawa, but you're to refer to me as "Snake". I'm the world's greatest Duelist, and you're nothing but a waste of lowly cards.
Yuto, temper rising: What did you say?!
Snake: I said you're a waste of trash not even worth being called cards. Cards with little to no power have no talent, and those wielding those cards have even less talent.
Yuto, getting furious: Now you listen here! Cards are more than just power! It's all about faith! If all cards are just power, it's powerless!
Snake: Maybe you didn't get the memo: Cards have no heart, and the only meaning to it is its strength. If you want to be humiliated by the world's greatest Duelist, you'll wish you never Dueled.
Snake then activated his Duel Disk, which looks like several different reptiles.
Yuto, activating his own Duel Disk: I'll show you the true meaning of Duel Monster cards! Now let's go!
Each player start off with 8000 Life Points and 5 cards.
Snake: I go first, and I Summon Balloon Lizard.
He then summons a lizard that looks like a balloon inflated.
(Balloon Lizard, Lvl 4, ATK 500, DEF 1900, Earth, Reptile)
Snake: Then I'll place 1 card face down and end my turn.
Yuto: Then it's my turn!
Snake: I first activate the Trap, Threatening Roar. Now you can't attack my lizard, and on my turn it will gain a Counter, and when it pops, you lose 400 Life Points for each.
Yuto: Maybe, but that doesn't mean it won't pop. I activate the effect of Tefnuit, since you're the only player with a Monster, I can Special Summon it! However, it can't attack this turn.
He then summons a white light dragon in golden armor.
(Hieratic Dragon of Tefnuit, Lvl 6, ATK 2100, DEF 1400, Light, Dragon)
Yuto: Now I activate Hieratic Seal of Supremecy, letting me Special Summon a Hieratic Dragon from my hand, and I choose Gebeb!
He then summons an orange light dragon in golden armor.
(Hieratic Dragon of Gebeb, Lvl 4, ATK 1800, DEF 400, Light, Dragon)
Yuto: Now I Summon Nuit!
He then summons a baby blue light dragon in golden armor.
(Hieratic Dragon of Nuit, Lvl 4, ATK 1700, DEF 900, Light, Dragon)
Yuto: Then I'll Set 1 card face-down and end my turn!
Snake: Toothless. You expect me to fear that? I activate my lizard's effect.
The lizard then began to swell.
Snake: Then I switch it to Defense, and Summon Granadora.
He then summons a hideous, spiked lizard.
(Granadora, Lvl 4, ATK 1900, DEF 700, Water, Reptile)
Snake: And since it was Summoned, I gain 1000 Life Points.
Snake: 8000-9000
Snake: Now attack Gebeb.
Yuto: I activate Negate Attack!
Granadora's attack was cut due to an invisible wall of energy.
Snake: Very well. I place 1 card down, and end my turn.
Yuto: Don't think I don't know your strategy, you intend on having Balloon Lizard get more Counters somehow by stalling me. Well that won't happen. First I activate Mirage of Nightmare, now I can draw until my hand has 4 cards on your turn, but I must discard the same number before my next Draw Phase, or discard my hand. Then I activate Rush Recklessly, giving Nuit 700 Attack Points!
Tefnuit ATK: 1700-2400
Yuto: And since Nuit was targeted by the effect of a card, I can Summon a Dragon-Type Normal Monster from my hand, Deck, or Graveyard, but it loses all of its strength. I choose to Summon Rabidragon.
He then summons a huge, big-eared, fluffy mutant dragon that has the fur of a rabbit.
(Rabidargon, Lvl 8, ATK 2950, DEF 2900, Light, Dragon)
Rabidragon ATK: 2950-0
Rabidragon DEF: 2900-0
Snake: You think a toothless hairball dragon scares me?
Yuto: Now I attack Granadora with Nuit!
Nuit then fires a condensed beam of light towards Granadora, obliterating it.
Snake: 9000-6500
Snake: Why you-!
Yuto: Now, Gebeb, attack!
Gebeb then fires a beam of condensed light towards Balloon Lizard, causing it to pop, sending shrapnel to spread towards Yuto.
Yuto: 8000-7600
Yuto: 400 Life Points is a small price to pay for the Summoning of a new Dragon by Gebeb's effect. I choose the Hieratic Seal of the Dragon Overlord from my Deck.
He then summons a golden orb that shines as bright as the sun.
(Hieratic Seal of the Dragon Overlord, Lvl 8, ATK 0, DEF 0, Light, Dragon)
Snake: Do you expect to win with a hollow egg?
Yuto: Now I Overlay Nuit and Gebeb to create the Overlay Network to Xyz Summon Kachi Kochi Dragon!
Gebeb and Nuit then vanish into a black hole, and a white hole opens up to summon a crystalline dragon surrounded by 2 orange orbs.
(Kachi Kochi Dragon, Rank 4, ATK 2100, DEF 1300, Earth, Dragon)
Yuto: Now I'll place 1 card face-down.
Snake: Are you done yet? It's my turn. And I activate Double Summon to Summon Lion Alligator.
He then summons an alligator with a lion mane.
(Lion Alligator, ATK 1900, DEF 200, Water, Reptile)
Snake: Now I Summon Don Turtle.
He then summons a turtle inside of its shell.
(Don Turtle, Lvl 3, ATK 1100, DEF 1200, Water, Reptile)
Snake: Now I can Special Summon any number of Don Turtles from my hand.
He then summons 2 more.
Yuto: Since you Special Summoned, I activate Dragon Ice's effect, by discarding 1 card, I can Summon it from my hand or Graveyard. So I discard Dragon Ice to the Graveyard to Summon said Dragon Ice from said Graveyard!
He then summons a dragon made entirely made of ice crystals.
(Dragon Ice, Lvl 5, ATK 1800, DEF 2200, Water, Dragon)
Snake: Very well. I Equip my alligator with Megamorph. Since my Life Points are lower, it's Attack power doubles.
Lion Alligator's ATK: 1900-3800
Snake: And since I control another Reptile Monster, it can break through your toothless defenses. So Lion Alligator, destroy his crystal dragon.
The alligator then opens its huge jaw to destroy Kachi Kochi Dragon.
Yuto: Ring of Destruction!
The ring then clamped onto the alligator, and then exploded.
Yuto: 8000-4200
Snake: 6500-2700
Snake: Very well, I Overlay 2 of my Don Turtles to tap into the Overlay Network to Xyz Summon Black Ray Lancer.
A black hole absorbs the 2 Don Turtles, and a white hole appears and he then summoned a manta ray-like warrior with a lance surrounded by 2 purple orbs.
(Black Ray Lancer, Rank 3, ATK 2100, DEF 600, Dark, Beast-Warrior)
Snake: This is 1 of my best Monsters due to its effect negating a Monster's effect until the end of my turn, and that it only costs an Overlay Unit. Your fate is sealed.
Yuto: Not quite. It's my turn, and I Summon Magna Drago.
He then summoned a dragon as red as magma.
(Magna Drago, Lvl 2, ATK 1400, DEF 200, Fire, Dragon, Tuner)
Yuto: Now I tune my Level 8 Rabidragon with my Level 2 Magna Drago.
Magna Drago then turns into 2 rings and form around Rabidragon, with becomes completely see-through, with its Level Stars turned into orbs of light.
Yuto: From these Dragons comes 1 that rules over all others. Prepare to meet a Dragon whose power radiates power itself. I Synchro Summon Trident Dragion!
He then summons a three headed hydra dragon as red as magma.
(Trident Dragion, Level 10, ATK 3000, DEF 2800, Fire, Dragon, Synchro)
Yuto: Now I activate Trident Dragion's effect to destroy 2 of my Dragons to allow it to attack 2 more times this turn.
Trident Dragion then sucks out the souls of the seal and his crystal dragon.
Snake: This can't be!
Yuto: This is my power, the faith in all of my cards! Trident Dragion, end this Duel with Hydra Attack!
Trident Dragion then aims its heads towards Snake and his Monsters, and fire streams of flame, destroying the Monsters, causing Snake to scream.
Snake: 2700-0
Yuto wins.
Yuto: Now take back your insult.
Snake: How about this?
He then throws a smokescreen and disappears.
Iris: What a jerk he is.
Yuto: First he calls me weak, and then becomes a sore loser? I really hate that guy. He has a lot of nerve, thinking he has the best cards there is. The day will come where he will realize his over-inflated ego blinds him from the truth; I'm better than he thinks he is.
Nakahara: Not to be rude, but we have an Avatar to capture.
Yuto and Iris: Right.
Yuto, in his head: And if that snake Jace Kurosawa ever shows himself again, he'll be sorry. I swear it.
