Okay, here's the next chapter, I've got another Duel Team to use and another character, thanks to Cyber Commander, He also helped me in writting the chapter.
Our story begins back at the Team World headquarters. We now see John was walking along the hallways of the building, he was on his way to see someone. With the theft of the Duel Vest Mach II and the five Design "X" Duel Disk, he needed help and fast. He has then made it to his destination: a single room which has the similarities of a police office. In the room there was a man working on some paperwork. This person has short hair and brown eyes; he was at lease 25 years old and was wearing a police uniform. This is another one of John's friends/workers: Team World Police Commissioner, Brian Corvello. Ever since yesterday with the incident with Dr. Drakken and his agreement with Shego, John believed that it was best for Team World to have a Police Department. He reprogrammed some of the Ref-bots to be police officers, but he needed someone good to be Commissioner. Brian was the leading Security Guard on the NASA laboratory where John worked during his internship; John knew he was the best because of his Seriousness and thought he would be perfect as Commissioner, and it seems that John's intention would help them.
John: Commissioner Brian Corvello.
Brian: (looks up) is there a problem?
John: As a matter of fact, there is. I'm sure you're aware that the power of the Team World Headquarters went out for a brief moment, right?
Brian: Yes, it affected here as well.
John: Well, it seems that it was a distraction to make off with some goods.
Brian: What was stolen?
John: One was a Prototype Duel Vest, the Mach II. And the other was five of my Design "X" Duel Disk. All is explained in this report.
From Underneath his jacket, he pulls out a folder with sheets inside. He gives the folder to Brian and he looks through it.
John: I'm counting on you to help me find the crook, or crooks, responsible.
Brian: Hmm… don't worry, John, it's in good hands.
John: Glad to hear it.
He then begins to leave, but before he does, he turns back to him.
John: Oh, and Brian… you have 24 hours. If those Duel Disks fall in the wrong hands, they can be reconfigured to cause real damage to innocent people.
Brian: I'm on the case.
John: Good to hear. I knew I made the right choice when I picked you to be my police commissioner.
Our story continues back to downtown Team World. We now focus to a three-against-three duel. One team is the Team we saw earlier: Team Phantom, they were dueling another team of duelist. One of the opposing duelist was an Asian girl with black hair and a magenta streak in a few strands; she wore a green top with an image of what looked like an either a dragonfly or a flower of some design, as well as blue jeans and boots. The second one was a little Asian boy with blue hair; he wore a long sleeved shirt with an image of a blue fist, blur jeans and black sneakers. And the third was an African American boy with dreadlock hair; we wore a black jacket with red trims, a green jersey with the number 45 on it, beige jeans and green sneakers. These three, along with three others, are the team known as Team Te Xuan Ze: the girl with the streak is named Juniper Lee; the little boy is her brother Ray-Ray and the last boy is her friend, Marcus. Along the sidelines of Team Te Xuan Ze were the three remaining members of the team: A pink-haired Gothic girl, Ophelia, a girl in violet sweat suit, Jody, and a boy with glasses, a ski cap and green jacket, Roger. Team Te Xuan Ze's Duel Disks are Orichalcos-like, they are colored purple, red and the center base has the same symbol as Juniper's top. Along with the three duelists was a dog, who looked old with its beiges-like fur being a little grey, is was Juniper's dog, Monroe.

Dark Ruler Ha Des raised it arm and a bolt of lightning shoots out from it and strikes Aswan Apparition, destroying the monster.
Sam: 50
Juniper: With only 50 Life Points left, you're not going to last much longer. I end my turn.
Sam: (To Danny) Danny, take them out.
Danny: You got it Sam. My Draw! (Draws card) first I now summon my Asura Priest in attack mode.
He puts the card oh his Duel Disk and the summoned monster appears on the field.

Ray-Ray: Okay, what can these guys do?
Marcus: (Nervous) ever seen "Spirited Away"?
Juniper: What good will that do?Those three aren't strong enough to take down our team of monsters.
Danny: You'll see. Now I play Pot of Greed, (puts card in Duel Disk) allowing me to draw two cards.
The magic card is shown on the field and he draws two cards from his deck.
Danny: Oh, sweet. I just drew my De-Fusion magic card. (Puts card in Duel Disk) breaking up that Tempest back to the three monsters it was formed from.
The magic card is shown on the field and Elemental Hero Tempest glows. Then it looked like it was broken in three, one part became the Elemental Hero Sparkman…
ATK: 1600
DEF: 1400
… One part became Elemental Hero Avian…
ATK: 1000
DEF: 1000
… And the last part became Elemental Hero Bubbleman.
ATK: 800
DEF: 1200
Danny: Now I'll have my Asura Priest attack Marcus's Gilford the Legend.
Marcus: What? But that's suicide.
Sam: Not when I do this:
She pushes a button on her Duel Disk and her facedown card flips up.
Sam: Once I discard one card from my hand, my Rising Energy Trap card gives Danny's monster extra strength for one turn, 1500 ATK points worth.
She discards from her hand and Asura Priest glows.
Asura Priest:
ATK: 3200
DEF: 1200
Danny: Asura Priest, attack with Shiva Swords!
The monster's four arms produce swords and it throws them towards Gilford the Legend. The swords skewer Gilford the Legend, destroying him.
Marcus: 1200
Danny: I'm not done yet. Next my monster's card effect happens, Asura Priest is allowed to attack multiple times as long as there are more monsters. So now I attack Dark Ruler!
The monster's four arms produce swords and it throws them towards Dark Ruler Ha Des. The swords skewer Dark Ruler, destroying him.
Juniper: 1250
Danny: If you think I'm stopping now, you're crazy. Asura Priest, attack Bubbleman!
The monster's four arms produce swords and it throws them towards Elemental Hero Bubbleman. The swords skewer Bubbleman, destroying him.
Ray-Ray: 0
The Ref-Bot (number 122) blows a whistle.
Ref-Bot 122: Ray-Ray Lee's Life Points are zero; he is out of the current duel.
Juniper: Ray-Ray!
Ray-Ray: Didn't hurt, I can take worst.
Juniper: Yeah, right…
Danny: (To Tucker) Tucker, pass me your monster.
Tucker: Blowback Dragon, control shift to Danny and follow his orders.
The Blowback Dragon moves towards Danny's side of the field.
Danny: Alright, Maharaghi, Attack Marcus Directly!
Maharaghi shot energy beams from its eyes and aimed towards Marcus. He guards himself with his Duel Disk as the blast strikes him.
Marcus: 0
Ref-Bot 122: (blows whistle) Marcus's Life Points are zero; he is out of the current duel.
Danny: Now to finish this. Susa Solder, attack June Directly!
Susa Solder drew its sword a charged at Juniper.
Juniper: I don't think so, Danny. I plan to stop you!
Danny: Oh yeah? You and what card?
She pushes a button on her Duel Disk and her facedown card flips up.
Juniper: Go Draining Shield!
A shield appears in front of Juniper and Susa Solder strikes it
Juniper: It stops your attack and increases my Life Points by the attacking monster's ATK points.
Juniper: 3250
Juniper: Sorry boys, but you're gonna need more than that rust bucket to take me out now!
Tucker: Try saying that when I do this:
He pushes a button on his Duel Disk and his facedown card flips up.
Tucker: Limiter Removal doubles all machine-type monsters' ATK points for one turn, which means that my dragon now can take you out.
Blowback Dragon:
ATK: 4600
DEF: 1200
Danny: Way to play, Tuck. Blowback Dragon, finish her off with proton cannon!
Blowback Dragon shot an energy beam through its gun-shaped head. Juniper guarded herself with her Duel Disk as the blast strikes her and she gets pushed back a few feet.
Juniper: 0
Ref-Bot 122: (blows whistle) Juniper Lee's Life Points are zero. Team Te Xuan Ze Loses. The winner is: Team Phantom!
The Puzzle Spheres belonging to the two teams started to glow. They turned slightly, being solved a little for one turn. A few minutes later, the two teams shake each others' hands, congratulating the other.
Danny: Thanks for the great duel, Juniper.
Juniper: Please, call me June. It sounds so much better.
Danny: You got it.
Ray-Ray: That duel was so wicked! Can we do it again? Huh? Can we?
Juniper: Maybe later, Ray-Ray. Let's get some lunch first, I'm starving.
Roger: Gonna get my grind-age on! Ye-ah!
Ophelia: (Groans) let's get going before he starts saying "Bu-uddy."
Sam: Well, it was nice meeting you guys. Good luck with the rest of the tournament.
Jody: Same here.
They soon separate, going their own way in the tournament.
Jody: That was a fun match, wasn't it, guys?
Ophelia: If by "fun" you mean "Getting creamed by a bunch of ghost monsters", then yes, it was fun. Every time we get like two wins, we always get one loss. Maybe we should stop; we're not cut out for this.
Jody: Oh I don't know Ophelia; it's getting kind of fun.
Ophelia: I hope you're having fun, because we keep having to bail you out!
Jody: I'm not doing that bad...
Juniper, her brother and her dog, Monroe were far behind her other friends, having a personal conversation.
Juniper: Boy, they sure are feeling discouraged, aren't they?
Ray-Ray: Well, can you blame them? I mean we are practically beginners in this game. We're only here because of you being the great Te Xuan Ze.
Monroe then started to bark, but then cleared his throat. He started speaking English in a Scottish accent.
Monroe: And don't you forget it, lad. It's the Te Xuan Ze's job to keep the balance between the monster world and the human world.
Juniper: And since magical incidents started to happen during some of the big Duel Monsters tournaments, like Battle City, and that problem when those Solders of the Orichalcos Stone started attacking everyone at Orchid Bay, Monroe and Ah-Mah decided that I should learn Duel Monsters and compete in this tournament.
Ray-Ray: I just wish we could have fun in this at lease.
Juniper: Ray-Ray, Being the Te Xuan Ze is not all fun and games, it's a big responsibility. Trust me; I'm learning that first hand.
Monroe: Well I think you did a good job with that Danny fellow, and I'm glad it was over; I was having a funny feeling about that boy.
Juniper: You said the same thing about Roger.
Monroe: I was right, wasn't I?
Juniper: (Thinks for a moment)… Good point. But I'm sure they're nothing weird or evil about him or his friends.
Just then, a beeping noise is heard. The beeping was coming from Juniper's Duel Disk, she looks and the bottom of the wrist part and sees that a pink gem is blinking, glowing and beeping.
Juniper: Oh, great! The balance is broken again. What could have-?
Ray-Ray: Hey! Look over there!
He points towards an area where he sees a blue-purplish fog that's formed into a dome.
Monroe: Sweet mother of pearl, I've seen that kind of fog before. It's a main entry point to the shadow realm.
Juniper: The what?
Monroe: The Shadow Realm! You haven't been studying your "Magical Realms" text, have you?
Juniper: (Nervous) why, of course I have, it's just that- (Realizes) wait. Weren't Danny and his team heading towards that direction?
Ray-Ray: You don't think that-
Before he could finish, Ophelia appeared behind the three.
Ophelia: What are you guys doing?
Juniper: (surprised) AH! Don't do that!
Ophelia: (Sees fog) Hey, what's that?
Juniper: What's what?
Ophelia: That purplish fog over there.
Juniper: I'm not sure, but-(Realizes) wait. You can see it?
Ophelia: (in a "Duh" tone) um… yeah, who could miss it?
Juniper: I thought I could only- never mind.
Rodney: Hey, cool-looking fog over there.
Juniper: It not cool, Rodney, it's dangerous.
Jody: How could it-?
Juniper: I'll explain later. Come on, we got to get a closer look at this.
Ophelia: Uh, "we"?
Juniper: Fine, be a chicken.
She then runs off towards the fog, and Monroe and Ray-Ray follow after.
Ophelia: (sighs) come on.
The rest of Team Te Xuan Ze starts to follow her. Once they make it to the fog, other duel teams start to crowd around it as well. Juniper then saw something on the ground; it was a silver and green thermos, she picked it up to get a better look at it. On the side of the thermos was a label which stated "Fenton Thermos" in green letters.
Juniper: "Fenton Thermos." (Thinks for a moment) …that's Danny's last name, this must be his.
Ray-Ray: So where is he?
Juniper: You don't think he's…
Juniper, her brother, Monroe, and the rest of her team looked at the dome fog in worry of what has and/or might have happened.
A few minutes earlier
To find out what happened, we now focus on Team Phantom walking along; with their duel with Team Te Xuan Ze finished they seek another team to duel against.
Danny: Boy. That was a tough match.
Sam: You said it. It was probably as tough as your last fight with Skulker.
Danny: It would have been easer if Jazz didn't know about my secret and wasn't trying to help.
Tucker: Too bad she's not with us; she's a really great duelist.
Danny: So are my parents, but I didn't want them here embarrassing me in front of all these duelists. Ever since those rumors that Duel Monsters came from ancient Egypt, they believe that the monsters can be ghost.
Sam: And that's why they converted our Duel Disk into "Fenton Duel Disk" and made more for themselves.
Danny: Right.
Tucker: Well, who should we duel next?
Voice: Pardon me, Team Phantom is it?
The group of three turns around and they are greeted by a boy wearing a brown trench coat and an eye-patch over his left eye. It was Yami Bakura who changed into Bakura.
Danny: yeah. Who are you?
Bakura: My name's Bakura, leader of Team Bakura, and I was wondering if I could have a duel with you three. I saw your last duel and I wanted to test your skills for myself.
Tucker: Let me guess. Your deck is like a water-base thing.
Bakura: What?
Tucker: You know. Sharks, boats, tsunamis and stuff about the sea.
Danny and Sam realized what Tucker was getting at and they didn't want this Bakura to think that they thought like that.
Danny: (Elbows Tucker) Tucker!
Tucker: What?
Sam: Sorry about Tucker, he's kinda stupid when it comes to a person's appearance.
Bakura: Huh? Oh, the Eye-patch. Yeah, I kinda had surgery awhile back, doctor's orders you know.
Danny: (thinking) Strange, why do I have this weird feeling about this guy?
Sam: So… where's your team? You said you wanted to duel us, right?
Bakura: Oh yes, they'll be here soon. But first, I want to show you something. They're sort of good luck charms of mine.
Danny: (Thinking) Uh-oh. bad Mojo feeling again.
Sam: Sounds cool. Let's see them.
Danny: Uh… Sam…
Bakura: They are very old artifacts my father obtained, he's an archeologist.
He opens the trench coat revealing the Duel Vest Mach II.
Tucker: Hey, what is that?
Bakura: Oh, it's a new type of duel system called the Duel Vest.
Tucker: "Duel Vest"? Sounds tight!
Bakura: You haven't seen the best part.
He then pushes a button on the side and it opens up, revealing odd-shaped holes and two golden items, his millennium rod and ring.
Sam: What are they?
Bakura: They are called "Millennium Items." My father says that they are supposed to have different magical powers. Isn't that silly?
Tucker: Not really. You'd be surprised how often we come across stuff like that.
Bakura: Oh?
Tucker: Yeah, you see, Danny's parents are Ghost hunters.
Danny: Tucker!
Bakura: Its okay, Danny. I'm sure it's not all that bad. Besides, these are only two of the three I have.
Sam: "Three"? Then where's the third?
Bakura: It's right… (Reaches eye-patch) here!
He lifts it up, revealing his millennium eye. Team Phantom gasp at what they see.
Tucker: Is that a "Eww!" or a "Yikes!"?
Bakura: Now I want to show you something that you may not have ever seen before.
He then takes the millennium rod and raises it in the air. As it glows, a blue-purplish fog appears out of nowhere.
Danny: Definitely a "Yikes!"
Sam: What's going on?
Bakura: I'll tell you what's going on…
Just then, the millennium ring starts to glow and the light consumes him, the light then fades, revealing Yami Bakura.
Yami Bakura: … A shadow game is what's going on!
Danny: A shadow game? (Thinking, gasp) that's what my parents said it was called when they heard that Duel Monsters rumor.
Soon the fog completely covered all of the area of Yami Bakura and Team Phantom.
Danny: What did you do, Bakura?
Yami Bakura: "Bakura"? Bakura is no longer here. I've been taking his body over for some time now.
Danny: "Taking over"? (Thinking, gasp) Overshadowing?
Yami Bakura: As for who I am, let's say I'm sort of a collector. I've done great and terrible things to obtain the seven millennium items. You can still call me Bakura, because I've lived in his body for so long, I'm use to it.
Danny: (thinking) Oh great. Just what I need: a working vacation. Now I have to deal with this ghost who's been overshadowing this Bakura kid.
Tucker: "Seven millennium items"? You mean there are more of those things you got?
Yami Bakura: Why don't you ask Danny? His parents have been doing research on the shadow games, are they not?
Danny: (Gasp) How did-?
Yami Bakura: The power of my millennium eye let's me read my victims' mind, so I simply took a look.
Sam: Way not cool.
Danny: Neither is what he's doing. My parents did research on the shadow games and the millennium items. The legend says that-
Yami Bakura: (finishes) "Who so ever welds all seven millennium items will obtain power unimaginable."
Danny: Exactly. But your plan will never work.
Yami Bakura: Oh? Well, why not?
Danny: 'Cause you're not the only one with powers. (Raises arms) I'M GOING GHOST!
Yami Bakura: "Going- What?
Suddenly, a white ring of light appear on Danny's waist and it separates into two, one going up and one going down. The ring going down started to change his red sneakers into silver-white boots. The ring going up creates silver-white gloves that were on his hands and his shirt becomes black and has an emblem of a white "D" that cradled a solid black "P." The rings pass his shirt and pants, transforming them into a black and silver-white jumpsuit. And finally the rising ring went to his face, turning his skin pale, his raven-black hair snow-white, and his blue eyes became glowing neon green. Yami Bakura looked at this new Danny is shock.
Yami Bakura: What in God's name?
Danny: Allow me to re-introduce myself. The name's Phantom, Danny Phantom.
At that moment, in Danny's right hand, a green energy orb was forming. He then trusted his arm towards Yami Bakura and a green energy beam launched from his hand and towards Yami Bakura. Yami Bakura snapped out of his shock and saw the beam coming towards him; he uses the millennium Ron and deflects the beam before it struck him.
Danny: Let us out of here or the next ectoplasmic blast won't miss.
Yami Bakura: (chuckles evilly) It's not that easy, Danny Phantom is it now? Well, if you want out of the shadow realm, you and your friends will have to be me and my team in a shadow game.
Danny: A team duel, huh? Well, if you're too much of a coward to let your cards fight instead, then I'll accept. Where's this team you've been talking about.
Yami Bakura: They're right here, lost souls of the shadow realm. They will help me.
Soon, the millennium eye and ring start to glow as two dark figures appear next to him.
Yami Bakura: The lost soul of my team shall be none other then the tag-team Rare Hunters known as Lumis and Umbra.
The two figures started to take shape, both were wearing purple robes, but one was shorter then the other. The short one, Lumis, was wearing a white and red smile mask that covered only his right side. And the tall one, Umbra, was wearing a black and red frown mask that covered only his left side. Both were also wearing Duel Vest just like Bakura.
Lumis: This should be a good match.
Umbra: Yes, we'll take these three out and send them to eternal darkness in the shadow realm.
Sam: (nonchalant) Fat chance.
Tucker: Yeah, we can take you bozos down.
Danny: Alright, here's how it's gonna go down: I go first, followed by Bakura. Then Sam makes her move, followed by Lumis. Tucker goes next, followed by Umbra, then back to me. (A/N: They are standing in the order they are taking their turns)
Yami Bakura: Then let us begin. Duel Vest, Activate!
The Duel Vest closes back. Yami Bakura pushes a button on the arm band and it pushes out one monster/magic/trap zone, which then folds out into five; two going one way and two going the other. He then held out his left hand and took five cards that were pushed out. Lumis and Umbra repeated the move and drew their staring hand.
Yami Bakura: 8000
Lumis: 8000
Umbra: 8000
Yami Bakura: It's time to duel.
Danny: Alright guys, let's do this. Fenton Duel Disk, Activate!
Danny's Duel Disk starts to spark and white rings appear on it like on Danny. The rings split and transformed the Duel Disk, it is now silver and black, and the green "F" was replaced by the emblem that is the same on Danny's chest. It then begins to fold/slides into activation and glows brighter. Sam and Tucker's Duel Disk spark and transform as well, they became the same as Danny's as they fold/side into activation. They then draw five cards from their decks.
Danny: 8000
Sam: 8000
Tucker: 8000
Danny: Okay, Bakura. Get your game on!
Sam: (looks at him) "Get your game on"?
Danny: It's a new duel catch phrase I've been working on. You like it?
Sam: It will never pass.
Our story continues right where Juniper find the thermos with Danny's last name on it. Just outside the area, where you could barely see the shadow realm fog, we see Yugi and his team walking along, not noticing the fog at all.
Yugi: Boy, I'm glad Kim was cool about me accidentally letting the secret out.
Joey: Yeah, after she finished giving you the end of 16 different styles of kung-fu on youse. That was prices less.
Yugi: (Sarcastically) Well, I'm glad you had fun.
He then reaches into his mouth, moving his finger around inside and pulls out a small white object.
Yugi: Remind me never to get on her bad side again.
Tea: Yugi, you're still bleeding from biting the inside of your cheek, put the cotton swab back.
Yugi: Uh, fine!
He puts the swab back in his mouth. (A/N: HA! thought it was a tooth, didn't you)
Yugi: I'm just glad she didn't actually hit me.
Just then, the Anubis eye symbol on the millennium puzzle started to flicker. Yami Yugi appeared next to Yugi in astral form.
Yami Yugi: (through thought) Yugi did you feel that?
Yugi: (through thought) what?
Yami Yugi: (through thought) I felt a powerful shadow magic.
Yugi: (through thought) Shadow magic? (Thinks for a moment) Bakura! Where is it?
Yami Yugi: (through thought) There!
He points to the shadow realm fog that is at the distance.
Yugi: Guys, look over there.
The rest of Team Yugi looks to where Yugi is pointing at and their eyes all widen.
Joey: Please tell me that's a stadium dome.
Kaiba: Somehow, I doubt it.
Yugi: Come on, we got to check it out.
As Team Yugi rush towards to shadow realm fog, Yugi's millennium puzzle starts to glow and the light consumes him.
YU-Gi-OH!
The light disappears as Yami Yugi appears.
Yami Yugi: We're almost there.
After a few minutes of running, they soon make it to a crowd of duelist who where surrounding all around the dome fog.
Tristan: This can't be cool.
Duke: No joke.
Voice: (male) Hey, guys, over here!
The group turn to see that the Kids Next Door were coming their way as well, with Numbuh 4, or in this case, Yami Numbuh 4, leading.
Yami Numbuh 4: I thought you might be here.
Yami Yugi: I'm guessing you sensed it too.
Yami Numbuh 4: Well, I'm glad you're here; we need all the help we can get.
Yami Yugi: Who was the first who noticed this?
Yami Numbuh 4: That girl with the magenta streak in her hair over there.
He points towards Juniper and her team; she was pacing back and forth, as if she was thinking of something, while the others continued to look at the dome fog. Yami Yugi walked towards her to get her attention.
Yami Yugi: Um, excuse me. My friend over there told me you were the first to notice this.
Juniper: Yeah, I was. My team and I were, anyway. The name's Juniper Lee, but you can call me June.
Yami Yugi: I'm Yugi Mutou.
Juniper then noticed the millennium puzzle around his neck.
Juniper: Whoa, nice pedant. It looks real hard core.
Yami Yugi: Uh… thanks. Do you know if anyone might be in there?
Juniper: Well, we might have an idea. I found this just outside of the dome.
She hands Yami Yugi the Thermos she found and Yami Yugi studies it.
Yami Yugi: (reads side) "Fenton Thermos"?
Juniper: It belongs to the leader of a team we just dueled against. They went this direction, so I'm positive they are in there.
Yami Yugi: (to himself) Grrr, Bakura.
Juniper: Pardon?
Yami Yugi: Look, you may not believe me, but this is the cause of evil magic at work. The pendent around my neck is one of seven millennium items. They have immense power unlike anything you've ever seen.
Juniper: (thinking) Doubt it.
Yami Yugi: And now, an evil spirit, who possesses three of the items, is after the remanding four. Once he has all seven-
Juniper: (interrupts) let me guess, he'll have enough power to rule the world.
Yami Yugi: (confused) how did you know?
Juniper: Because-
Yami Numbuh 4: (interrupts) Excuse me, but we don't have time for this. We got to break this thing open.
Yami Yugi: (to juniper) He's right, I'll explain later. (To Yami Numbuh 4) come on Numbuh 4, let's get to work.
The rest of the Kids Next Door started to move the crowds more away from the shadow realm fog as Yami Yugi and Yami Numbuh 4 prepared to break the fog. Yami Numbuh 4's millennium scales start to glow, and Yami Yugi's millennium puzzle and necklace start to glow as well. Energy beams shot out of the eye symbols of each item and towards the dome fog. The beams continued that way for about a minute, but after that minute passes, they stopped and saw that there was barely any penetration.
Yami Numbuh 4: Hmm, it's tough, too tough. The tomb robber pulled out all the stops; he must be using all three of his millennium items.
Yami Yugi: Then we can't break through; it will just get canceled out.
Juniper: Well, if you guys can't break it, then the lease we can do is see what's going on.
Yami Numbuh 4: How are we going to do that?
Juniper: Well, my Grandmother, Ah-Mah, knows all sorts of magical charms and has a few artifacts. I bet she could have something to help.
Jody: You never told us that about your Grandma.
Juniper: Well, I didn't want you guys to think I'm weird. Nobody go anywhere; I'll head over to the Team World Care Service building and call Ah-Mah. She should give me some info of what we need. Ray-Ray, Monroe, you're with me.
Ray-Ray: Aww, can't I stay?
Juniper: No!
Ray-Ray: Aww…
Juniper, Ray-Ray, and Monroe made their way out of the crowds and to the Team World Care Service building, leaving the crowds, along with Team Yugi and Team KND.
Yami Yugi: There's something about that girl, but I can't put my finger on it.
Yami Numbuh 4: Me neither. But if she does have something to help us, we may have no choice. (Looks at Shadow Realm fog) I just hope we're not too late.
Meanwhile, back in the shadow ream fog, Team Phantom and Team Bakura where about to start.
Danny: Okay, Bakura, let's do this. My draw!
He draws a card from his deck and looks at it.
Danny: First, I'll play a magic card known as Spring of Rebirth.
He puts the card in his Duel Disk and the magic card is shown on the field.
Danny: As long as this card is in play, I'll receive 500 Life Points every time a monster returns to the owners' hand. Now I'll summon a monster known as Susa Solder, in attack mode.
He puts the card on his Duel Disk and the summoned monster appears on the field.
ATK: 2000
DEF: 1600
Danny: next I play another magic card.
He puts the card in his Duel Disk and the magic card is shown on the field.
Danny: It's called Quick Attack.
Yami Bakura: Oh no! That allows your monster to attack instantly.
Danny: Correct. And now I'll have my Susa Solder attack you. But don't worry, because of his card effect, you'll only lose half damage.
Yami Bakura: "Half damage"?
Tucker: Let me do the math for you, one eye. Danny's Solder will attack you directly and its ATK points are 2000, but thanks to its effect, you'll only lose 1000 Life Points.
Danny: Now attack Bakura directly with your Susa Sword!
Susa Solder drew its sword a charged at Yami Bakura. The monster strikes Yami Bakura on the chest part of the Duel Vest and he's pushed back a few feet.
Yami Bakura: 7000
Danny: How do you like that?
Yami Bakura: Very clever, Danny. But they're all not going to be that easy.
Danny: Somehow, I doubt that. I'll just throw down a facedown and end my turn.
He puts a card in his Duel Disk and it appears facedown in front of him.
Sam: (Looks at him) "Throw down a facedown"?
Danny: What? You don't like it?
Sam: (Sighs) Forget it.
Danny: Now my monster's card effect happens. Since he's a Spirit-type monster, he returns to my hand at the end of the turn I summoned him.
Susa Solder starts to glow and then disappears. The card then pops up and Danny catches it.
Danny: And thanks to my Spring of Rebirth, I gain 500 Life Points.
Danny: 8500
Yami Bakura: My turn, now.
He moves his hand over the deck and a card gets pushed out. He takes the card and looks at it.
Yami Bakura: hmm, not bad. First I'll play my Cost Down magic card.
He puts the card in his arm part of his Duel Vest and the magic card is shown on the field.
Yami Bakura: This card downgrades the monsters in my hand by two stars. So now, this level-five monster is now level-three.
He puts the card on his arm part of his Duel Vest and the summoned monster appears in front of him.
Yami Bakura: Say hello to my Earl of Demise.
ATK: 2000
DEF: 700
Yami Bakura: And that will do for now.
Sam: Oh will it now? It's my move. (Draws card) I'll summon my Emissary of the Afterlife.
She puts the card on her Duel Disk and the summoned monster appears on the field.
ATK: 1600
DEF: 600
Sam: Now, I set one card facedown.
She puts a card in her Duel Disk and it appears facedown in front of her.
Sam: And end my turn.
Lumis: (Takes pushed card) I'll set only two cards facedown.
He puts the cards in his arm part of his Duel Vest and the cards appear facedown in front of him.
Lumis: I end my turn.
Tucker: (Draws card) what a weak move. I'll summon my Vampire Lady in attack mode.
He puts a card on his Duel Disk and the summoned monster appears in of him.
ATK: 1550
DEF: 1550
Tucker: Then I set one card facedown.

He puts the card on his arm part of his Duel Vest and the summoned monster appears in front of him.
ATK: 1600
DEF: 1800
Umbra: And now I'll make him stronger with my Mask of Brutality
He puts the card in his arm part of his Duel Vest and the magic card is shown on the field. A brown mask with hands for eyes appears on Shining Abyss.
Umbra: This card increases my monster's ATK points by 1000.
Shining Abyss:
ATK: 2600
DEF: 1800
Tucker: Well, there is drawback to using that. You have to pay 1000 Life Points every time you want it on the field.
Umbra: That won't be necessary, thanks to my Masked Doll magic card.
He puts the card in his arm part of his Duel Vest and the magic card is shown on the field.
Umbra: This continuous magic card negates card effect that have Life Points as a cost, so we can keep our Life Points and the magic card.
Tucker: Dang!
Umbra: Well, since it's my turn, I'll have my monster attack. Destroy that Vampire Lady with your Shining Energy blast!
Shining Abyss creates energy in its hand and shoots a beam from them and towards Vampire Lady.
Sam: Not so fast, I reveal my facedown card!
She pushes a button on her Duel Disk and her facedown card flips up.
Sam: My Rising Energy Trap card gives Vampire Lady 1500 ATK points once I discard from my hand.
She discards from her hand and Vampire Lady glows.
Vampire Lady:
ATK: 3050
DEF: 1550
Tucker: Vampire Lady, counter attack!
Lumis: hold on, fools!
He pushes a button on the arm part of his Duel Vest and one of his facedown cards flips up.
Lumis: Mask of Weakness weakens your Vampire Lady by 700 ATK points.
The trap card glows and shoots out a red mask, which attaches itself to Vampire Lady.
Vampire Lady:
ATK: 2350
DEF: 1550
The energy blast strikes Vampire Lady, disintegrating and destroying her.
Tucker: 7750
Umbra: That ends my turn.
Danny: My go, now! (Draws card) first I reveal my facedown card.
He pushes a button on his Duel Disk and the facedown card flips up.
Danny: My Embodiment of Apophis trap card becomes a monster card with 1600 ATK and 1800 DEF points.
He takes the trap card and puts it on the monster zone.
ATK: 1600
DEF: 1800
Danny: Now I'll sacrifice my trap-monster in order to summon another Spirit monster, the Great Long Nose.
He puts the card on his Duel Disk, Embodiment of Apophis disintegrates and the newly summoned monster appears on the field.
ATK: 1900
DEF: 1700
Yami Bakura: Ha, what a waist, that monster is too weak to destroy any of ours.
Danny: Maybe, but with this card, he'll defeat that Earl of Demise easily.
He puts the card in his Duel Disk and the magic card is shown on the field.
Danny: Black Pendent increases his ATK by 500.
A black pendent appears around Great Long Nose's neck.
Great long nose:
ATK: 2400
DEF: 1700
Danny: Great Long Nose, attack Earl of Demise with Long Nose Sword.
Great Long Nose's Nose extends a few feet and he strikes Earl of Demise with it.
Yami Bakura: 6600
Danny: Ha! My Great Long Nose dealt damage to your Life Points. Thanks to his card effect, you can't do your Battle Phase this turn.
Yami Bakura: WHAT?
Danny: That's right, now I'll throw down two facedowns.
He puts the card in his Duel Disk and the two cards appear facedown in front of him.
Danny: I end my turn, which causes my spirit monster to come back to my hand.
Great Long Nose starts to glow and then disappears. The card then pops up and Danny catches it.
Danny: Now my Spring of Rebirth activates. This time I'll give the 500 Life Points to Tucker.
Tucker: 8250
Tucker: Thanks, man.
Danny: Anytime. But I'm not done yet, (To Yami Bakura) since my Black Pendent is now destroyed, you lose 500 Life Points.
Yami Bakura: 6100
Yami Bakura: Alright, it's my turn!
He moves his hand over the deck and a card gets pushed out. He takes the card and looks at it.
Yami Bakura: (Laughs maniacally) Oh, this is perfect.
Danny: (Nervous) what is?
Yami Bakura: I've just drawn the card that will be your demise!
He continues to laugh as Team Phantom look on in fear at what he plans to do.
