Ray walks through a giant steel door into a dark room. As soon as he enters the room, bright lights light up half the room. He looks up and sees a brightly painted cathedral ceiling. Not wasting any time he walks up to his dueling platform. Ray looks across the room into the shadows to the other dueling platform. His opponent was shrouded in the darkness.

Mayhem: Welcome, Ray. I've been expecting you.

Ray: Mayhem? Is that you?

Mayhem: Yes. Let's start this thing.

Ray-8000 Mayhem-8000

Ray: I set 2 m/t and summon La jinn in attack mode.

Ray: I sacrifice La jinn to summon Amphibian Beast. Now my beast will attack your Opticlops.

Ray-8000 Mayhem-7400

Mayhem: I set 1 monster and end my turn.

Ray: I summon Darkfire Soldier #2 and have him attack your set monster.

Mayhem: I activate Fatal Abacus. My monster is Cyber Jar. Your monsters are both destroyed and you take 1000 life point damage due to Fatal Abacus.

Ray-7000 Mayhem-7400

Mayhem: Now we draw 5 cards and show them to each other. The cards I drew are Blackland Fire Dragon, Versago the Destroyer, Giant Trunade, Polymerization, and Summoned Skull.

Ray: I drew La jinn, Array of Revealing Light, Axe Raider, Battle Ox, and Man-eater Bug.

Mayhem: I choose to set both Blackland Fire Dragon and Versago.

Ray: I'll summon La jinn, Axe Raider, and Battle Ox and I'll set Man-eater Bug. I'll have Axe Raider attack your first set.

Mayhem: Activate Negate Attack. Your battle phase has ended.

Ray: Alright, your turn.

Mayhem: Yes, I guess it is. I play Dark Hole destroying your four monsters and dealing 2000 damage to your life points.

Ray-5000 Mayhem-7400

Mayhem: Now I'll set 1 monster and end my turn.

Ray: I play Array of Revealing Light and choose all Dark type monsters since that's all you've been playing. Now I'll set 1 m/t and summon Mechanical Chaser to attack your set.

Mayhem: Giant Germ. 500 life point damage and I'll summon two more from my deck.

Ray-4500 Mayhem-7400

Ray: I end my turn.

Mayhem: I'll sacrifice one Germ to summon Summoned Skull. The other will be switched to defense. Summoned Skull attacks your Mechanical Chaser.

Ray: No it won't. Have a taste of direct damage with Magic Cylinders!

Ray-4500 Mayhem-4900

Mayhem: You've learned much since the accident.

Ray: What accident?

Mayhem: I know you didn't forget. The accident when you were little. The accident that claimed the lives of your family, of my family.

Ray: What do you mean, your family? I thought it was only my family that died in that car.

Mayhem: Your half-right, Ray. Your family did die in that car accident, but not everyone.
