Start with Yuto, staring at the Domino City III's central wishing fountain. The fountain, like a majority of the city, is very high tech, yet very beautiful. Yuto's staring at the fountain, thinking about the very insults from Snake, an arrogant Duelist who believes weak cards are for the weak.

Snake: Cards with little to no power have no talent, and those wielding those cards have even less talent.

Yuto clenches his fist having to hear that remark. It agitated him, thinking that weak cards have no purpose but garbage.

Yuto: Jace Kurosawa, what makes you think you're so special? You used cards with weak Attack power yourself, so you shouldn't be talking. It doesn't matter if you just use it for its effect, all that matters is the faith in the cards you use.

Iris, to Nakahara: Yuto's still mad about what that guy "Snake" said.

Nakahara: Believe it or not, there are cards that may not be useful in certain situations. Different Decks have different strategies and tactics; Yuto's involve Summoning high Level Monsters and swarming the field. Even that can be blocked somehow.

Iris: Maybe, but 1 thing his opponents can't block is his courage.

Nakahara, teasingly: You're just saying that because you like him, don't you?

This joke made Iris blush hard and turn away.

Iris, clearly embarrassed: I d-d-d-d-don't know what you're talking about.

Nakahara decided to drop the subject for now, but did have a kick out of teasing Iris. This made her blush recede. Yuto then takes his gaze off of the fountain and turns towards the others.

Yuto: Well, where to, Nakahara?

Nakahara: Don't know, but Avatar does send out a bunch of henchmen to Duel for him just to throw the DSB off. It worked on many instances.

Yuto: Well, we might as well Duel every member we can find until we find him, even if it means we must deal with the pain from the Duel Disks.

Nakahara: What are you, dense? That's exactly what Avatar wants!

Yuto: Well what choice do we have, captain?

Iris: I'm with Yuto; We can't find him until we beat a lot of his men. Even if we have to suffer pain, we can't risk Duel Monsters to be banned.

?, in an electronic voice: I cannot allow you to go anywhere near my master.

Nakahara: Oh great; Another roadblock.

?: Excuse me, but I'm a Psychic Duelist, the highest breed of Duelists, I deserve to be treated such.

Yuto: Just tell us who you are.

Samael: I am Samael, and I am the end of your ridiculous quest, and I intend to make this Duel slow and painful for you, Yuto Yamamoto.

Yuto, activating his Duel Disk: This won't take long at all. Now activate your Duel Disk and let's Duel.

Samael: No need for such scrap, when I can use my power as compensation.

He then uses psychokinesis to show his Deck, shuffle it, and place it near his right hand. The 3 were surprised to see such level of power.

Samael: Well then, let us begin.

Yuto's purple eyes began to glow.

Samael: This will be very interesting.

Yuto: Let's go!

Both start at 8000 Life Points and 5 cards in their hand.

Samael: I'll take the first move, and activate Brain Research Lab.

The field then turned into a huge laboratory with a brain in a test tube.

Yuto, shocked: What is this?!

Samael: This is the Brain Research Lab. This is the very card that will be your defeat, because with Field Barrier, the laboratory will never be removed. Now I Summon Doctor Cranium.

He then summons a small-bodied, big-headed scientist with an artificial intelligence amplifier.

(Doctor Cranium, Lvl 1, ATK 100, DEF 100, Earth, Psychic)

Samael: Now with Block Attack, it's switched into Defense Mode. And then I'll end my turn with 1 card face-down.

Yuto: Don't think your Life Points are safe, because I Summon Lancer Lindwurm!

He then summons a dragon with a javelin lance.

(Lancer Lindwurm, Lvl 4, ATK 1800, DEF 1200, Wind, Dragon)

Yuto: Now, pierce through his scientist's defenses!

The dragon then destroys the amplifier, causing the doctor to explode.

Samael: 8000-7300

Samael: I activate Cranium's effect, paying 800 Life Points to add a Psychic-Type Monster with 2000 or less Attack Points from my Deck to my hand.

He adds a card to his hand, but instead of paying Life Points, the brain increases.

Iris: Wait, why didn't he pay Life Points? Wasn't he supposed to in order to activate the effect?

Samael: Not if Brain Research Lab is on the field. Instead, I place a Psychic Counter to activate a Psychic-Type Monster's effect. Now I activate Supernatural Regeneration. At the end of the turn, each destroyed Psychic-Type Monster becomes 1000 Life Points gained by me.

Yuto: I'll place 1 card face-down. You're up.

Samael: Very well.

Samael: 7300-8300

Samael: I Summon Pandaborg.

He then summons a robot panda.

(Pandaborg, Lvl 4, ATK 1700, DEF 1400, Water, Psychic)

Samael: Now I Summon Psi-Blocker using my laboratory.

He then summons a humanoid robot.

(Psi-Blocker, Lvl 4, ATK 1200, DEF 300, Wind, Psychic)

The brain grew once more.

Samael: I attack with Pandaborg.

Nakahara: Is he insane?!

The mechanical panda attempts to slash Lancer Lindwurm, only to be jabbed by the javelin spear, causing it to explode.

Samael: 8300-8200

Samael: I activate Pandaborg's effect, paying 800 Life Points to Summon a Level 4 Psychic-Type from my Deck, and I choose Psychic Snail.

He then summons a mutated escargot.

(Psychic Snail, Lvl 4, ATK 1900, DEF 1200, Earth, Psychic)

The brain grew.

Iris: He attacked to Summon a stronger Monster?

Samael: I attack with my snail.

The snail then fires electricity at the dragon, causing it to explode.

Yuto, face getting scratched during damage calculation: 8000-7900

Yuto then summons a purple dragon that looks like a bunch of thorns.

(Interplanetarypurplythorny Dragon, Lvl 5, ATK 2200, DEF 1100, Dark, Dragon)

Yuto: You activated the effect of Interplanetarypurplythorny Dragon.

Nakahara, confused: Inter-what?

Yuto: Forget it.

Samael: I'll end with 1 card face-down. Your turn.

Yuto: I think I'll attack your Psi-Blocker with my-

Samael: I activate Past Image.

The purple thorny dragon with then turned into a mirage. Yuto face-faults.

Yuto: Your turn.

Samael: Now your Dragon returns. But it won't stay for long. I Summon the Tuner Monster, Mind Master.

He then summons a robotic test tube with a brain inside.

(Mind Master, Lvl 1, ATK 100, DEF 200, Light, Psychic, Tuner)

Samael: Now I pay 800 Life Points to sacrifice my Psi-Blocker to Summon Telekinetic Shocker.

Instead of Life Point payment, the brain grew again.

He then summons a being inside of a rubber suit.

(Telekinetic Shocker, Lvl 4, ATK 1700, DEF 400, Earth, Psychic)

Samael: Now I activate Monster Reborn to bring back Psi-Blocker. But he won't stay for long. I tune my Level 4 Psi-Blocker and Telekinetic Shocker with my Level 1 Mind Master to Synchro Summon the Hyper Psychic Blaster.

He then summons an android with twin blasters for hands.

(Hyper Psychic Blaster, Lvl 9, ATK 3000, DEF 2500, Earth, Psychic, Synchro)

Samael: Now I activate Block Attack on your Dragon.

Nakahara: Wait, but that would mean Yuto takes no damage.

Samael: Wrong, he takes the difference as damage, and I gain Life Points by that amount. Now attack with Twin Blast.

The machine then points its guns at the dragon and his controller. The black gun destroys the dragon and the white gun strengthens Samael.

Yuto, feeling pain: 7900-6000

Samael: 8300-10200

Iris: No! Yuto!

Nakahara: He has about 10000 Life Points because of that thing?!

Samael: As long as I hold this card, you're helpless against me.
