Yu-Gi-Oh GX - A New Duelist Legend

Chapter 18 - Restructer Revolution

Vincent placed one of his remaining cards on his disc. "I'll activate the spell card True Face of Battle. This card first returns both of our life points to 8000."

JLP: 8000

VLP: 8000

"You're giving me life points?" Jaden asked, "Why?"

"You'll see soon." Vincent replied, "True Face of Battle also shuffles together our fields, hands, decks, graveyards, and removed from play piles, then we each draw five cards. In essence, it's a whole new duel."

"Okay..." Jaden said, as he shuffled his cards together and drew.

"However, True Face of Battle has one final effect." Vincent continued, "If I have another deck, then I can swap that deck for the one I'm using." Vincent pulled his E-Hero deck out of his duel disc, put it in a large deck case at his waist and took another deck out of the case. He slammed the deck into it's slot and drew his new starting hand. "I happen to have one right here."

"A second deck!" Jaden exclaimed, "That's why you reset everything?"

Vincent smirked. "Exactly. Jaden Yuki, prepare to face the power of my true deck."

"The final effect of True Face of Battle ends my turn and prevents you from attacking on your next turn." Vincent said, "So make your move."

Jaden looked at his deck uncertainly. "Okay, so he resets the duel when it's almost certain that he'll win? That doesn't make any sense." He smirked. "I doubt he's going to tell me why though, so all I can do is duel!"

"Alright!" Jaden yelled, "Here I come, Vincent! I'll show you what heroes can really do!" He pulled the top card off of his deck, feeling a surge of power like the one during his duel with Bastion shoot through him.

Vincent smiled grimly. "So he does have power... maybe he'll be able to defeat me after all."

Jaden slammed the card he had drawn onto his disc. "I'll summon Elemental Hero Bubbleman in attack mode!" The silly-looking hero appeared in a spray of bubbles, posing. (800/1200)

"And," Jaden said, "Since he's the only card on my field, I can draw twice more!" Jaden drew again, once again feeling power surge through his body.

"Wow," Jaden thought, "I've never felt like this before! It's like every cell in my body has an electric charge running through it!" He giggled to himself. "This is awesome!"

Vincent raised an eyebrow. "What on earth are you talking about?"

"This is the most intense duel I've ever had!" Jaden said, "I love this feeling!" He flipped one of his cards around. "Nothing to do from here but keep going! I'll play Polymerization! "Using it, I'll fuse together Elemental Heros Bubbleman and Clayman to create Elemental Hero Mudballman!" The vortex appeared on his field, sucking up Bubbleman, as well as Clayman from his hand. After a moment, a giant hunk of clay appeared on his field, crouching defensively. (1900/3000)

"Get past that!" Jaden called, "I'll set this one card facedown, then end my turn."

Vincent smirked as he drew. "So, this is your real power."

Jaden blinked. "What do you mean, 'my real power'?"

Vincent frowned. "If you don't know, then I can't tell you." He slid a card from his hand onto his disc. "I summon Black Imperial Guard in attack mode." A humanoid monster shimmered into existence on his field. He was clad in black robes, futuristic black armor, and wielded a pike in one hand. He stared straight ahead out of a black-lensed mask. (1000/1000)

"Now, the special effect of my monster activates." Vincent said, sliding a card from his hand into his graveyard, "By discarding one card from my hand, I can summon the other copies of this monster from my hand and deck to the field." The black-clothed guard slammed the butt of his pike on the ground, and two others appeared next to him, standing at attention. (1000/1000)x2

"Of course, the card I discarded was Repayment of Losses, so I know draw one card." Vincent continued, his graveyard flashing as he slid a card off of his deck. He put the card in his hand, then selected another one and placed it on his disc. "I'll now activate the Continuous Spell Imperial Tactics. Whenever a monster on my side of the field with 'Imperial' in it's name is sent to the graveyard except as a result of battle or being tributed for a tribute summon, you take 500 points of damage." Vincent smirked. "I'll end my turn with that."

"Alright!" Jaden yelled, drawing as energy surged through his body once again. "I'll summon Elemental Hero Sparkman in attack mode!" The yellow and blue clad hero appeared on his Jaden's field in a flash of electricity, posing heroically. (1600/1400)

"I'll have him attack one of your Black Imperial Guards!" Jaden yelled, "Shining Surge Flash!" Sparkman charged up a burst of electricity, which he launched directly at Vincent.

"Unfortunately for you," Vincent said, "My Black Imperial Guards cannot be the target of an attack, so you attack me directly instead." The surge of electricity streaked past Vincent's monsters and hit him square on the chest.

JLP: 8000

VLP: 6400

Vincent smirked, his chest still smoking slightly. "Also, my Black Imperial Guards don't like it when their emperor is attacked. Now I can tribute one of them to do you 1000 points of damage." He gestured, and one of the three guards ran forward, shouting. He slammed his pike into Jaden's gut, then shattered.

JLP: 7000

VLP: 6400

"Now then effect of Imperial Tactics activates." Vincent said, "Dealing you 500 points of damage." The shards of the Black Imperial Guard turned into motes of black light, each of which streaked at Jaden, peppering him with black energy.

JLP: 6500

VLP: 6400

"Are you finished?" Vincent asked, "I have more important things to get to."

Jaden growled. "Yeah, I'm done."

Vincent slid a card off of his deck and considered his move. "I'll summon Imperial Army Commander in attack mode." Another monster in the same futuristic armor as the guards appeared on Vincent's field, except this time the armor was grey, and this monster wore a red cape instead of black robes. He had a futuristic pistol in one hand. (1400/1900)

"And what does this one do?" Jaden asked.

Vincent smirked. "You're starting to catch on. Imperial Army Commander allows me to discard a card when he's summoned. If I do, I can summon any monster with "Imperial Army" in it's name and 1000 or fewer attack points from my hand or deck." Vincent slid a card into his graveyard, and white clothed, grey armored soldier appeared. He had a medical box on his back and a red cross on his chest. (500/500)

"This is my Imperial Army Medic." Vincent said, "And the card I discarded was a monster called Imperial Arms Merchant. When it's discarded for the effect of a monster with 'Imperial' in it's name, I draw twice." Vincent drew, restoring his hand up to five cards.

"Now," Vincent continued, "My Imperial Army Commander gains 1000 attack for each other monster with 'Imperial Army' in it's name." An aura sprung up around the commander and medic, boosting the commander's attack points to above Sparkman's. (1400/1900)–(2400/1900)

"Now, Imperial Army Commander attacks Sparkman!" Vincent yelled, "Tactical Shot!" The Imperial officer spun his pistol around his finger, then fired three quick shots at Sparkman, shattering him.

JLP: 5700

VLP: 6400

"Of course, such a boost comes with a price." Vincent continued, "Whenever Imperial Army Commander completes an attack, one other "Imperial Army" monster on my side of the field is destroyed... which, of course, means you take 500 more points of damage from Imperial Tactics. Also, when Imperial Army Medic is sent to the graveyard I gain 500 life points." The Soldier shattered, and his shards turned into motes of black and white light. The black motes slammed into Jaden, while the white ones phased into Vincent.

JLP: 5200

VLP: 6900

Vincent grinned. "Now, take your turn."

Jaden smirked and slid a card off of his deck. "With pleasure!" He slid the card he had drawn onto his disc. "I'll start things off with Fusion Recovery, bringing back Polymerization and Clayman!" The named cards slid out of Jaden's graveyard, and he placed them in his hand.

"Next," Jaden continued, "The Warrior Returning Alive will bring back Sparkman!" The spell flashed onto Jaden's field, and Sparkman slid out of his graveyard.

"I'll bet you can guess what's coming next!" Jaden said, smirking. "I'll use Polymerization to fuse Sparkman and Clayman into Elemental Hero Thunder Giant!" Another vortex appeared on Jaden's field, drawing in the named monsters and producing the massive electric hero. (2400/1500)

"His effect now destroys one monster on your field with fewer original attack points then he has!" Jaden continued, still smirking. "Since I remember the effect of your Black Imperial Guards, I'll destroy one of them!" Thunder Giant pointed, and a bolt of lightning shot out of his finger and his one of the Black Guards square in the chest, shattering it. It's shards turned into black energy as the effect of Imperial Tactics activated and reduced Jade's life points further.

JLP: 4700

VLP: 6900

Jaden grinned. "Thunder Giant, attack Imperial Army Commander with Voltic Thunder!" The giant hero raised it's arms and charged up a massive blast of lightning, which it launched at the commander, blowing him to pieces.

JLP: 4700

VLP: 5900

Jaden grinned. "I'll set this one card facedown, then end my turn."

Vincent frowned as he drew. "He's stronger then I expected. Much stronger. But he has no idea of the power he holds..." Vincent considered his hand. "I can say nothing without risking everything. I must try and make him understand."

"Very well," Vincent said, "Prepare yourself! I will give my all in this battle!"

Jaden arched an eyebrow. "Battle? This is a game, not a battle."

Vincent's eyes narrowed in cold rage. "You understand nothing, fool! I will tribute my last remaining Imperial Black Guard to summon Imperial Prince!" The guard faded and was replaced by a young man wearing black and clothes and a black cape. He wore a thin silver circlet with an carried a rapier in one hand. (2100/1800)

"Imperial Prince's effect activates now!" Vincent continued, "I discard two cards to summon three Imperial Attendants from my hand or deck!" Vincent slid a pair of cards into his graveyard and three crouching women is skimpy black clothes appeared around the Imperial Prince. (0/0)x3

"Now, I'll activate their special effect! By sending a number of Imperial Attendants to the graveyard equal to the required tributes for an Imperial monster in my hand, I can special summon that monster to the field. I'll send two of the them to the graveyard to summon Imperial Princess in defense mode!" The Attendant faded, and in it's place appeared a young woman in a black and sliver dress. She was also wearing a thin silver circlet and she carried a scepter. (1800/2100)

"Since I sent my Attendants to the graveyard for their effect, you now take 1000 more damage from Imperial Tactics, as well." Vincent finished, just as Jaden was surrounded by a black aura.

JLP: 3700

VLP: 5700

"Now I believe I'll explain the other effects of my Prince." Vincent began, "My Prince gains 500 attack points for each other Imperial monster on my field, but every time it engages in battle, I have to sacrifice an Imperial monster." An aura appeared around all of Vincent's monsters, and his prince's attack skyrocketed. (2100/1800)–(3100/1800)

"I believe I'll have Imperial Prince attack your Thunder Giant." Vincent continued with a smirk. "Blade of Royalty!" The Prince darted forward, quickly slashing Thunder Giant half a dozen times. He then backed up and smirked as the giant Hero shattered.

JLP: 3000

VLP: 5700

"Now of course," Vincent said, "I need to sacrifice a monster. That also means 500 more damage from Imperial Tactics." Vincent's remaining Imperial Attendant shattered, and Jaden was once again pelted by shards of black energy. Also, Imperial Prince's attack fell. (3100/1800)–(2600/1800)

JLP: 2500

VLP: 5700

"I'll end my turn with a facedown." Vincent finished, placing the last card in his hand on his disc.

"My draw then!" Jaden declared, feeling an even greater surge of power as he drew. His grin widened. "Whatever this feeling is, it just keeps getting better and better! I've never felt so...alive before!"

Jaden slammed the card he had drawn onto his disc. "I activate Pot of Greed, drawing two cards!" The grinning jar appeared, and Jaden drew twice again before it shattered.

"Ok Vincent," Jaden yelled, "It's time for me to start fighting back! I'll activate Monster Reborn, bringing back Thunder Giant!" The shining ankh appeared, and the massive electric hero stepped out of it. (2400/1500)

"Since he was summoned again, his effect now activates!" Jaden continued, "I'll use it to destroy Imperial Prince!" Thunder Giant pointed and a lightning bolt streaked from his finger, shattering the Prince, whose shards turned into black light and pelted Jaden.

JLP: 2000

VLP: 5700

Vincent merely snapped his fingers. "I'll activate my trap, Rallying the Guard! Whenever a monster on my side of the field is destroyed, I can summon a monster from my hand or deck with 'Imperial Guard' and 1000 or fewer attack points. I'll choose my White Imperial Guard. As with Black Imperial Guard, when he comes into play I discard a card to summon his compatriots." Three monsters, identical to Black Imperial Guard except for the color of their armor and robes, appeared on Vincent's field, standing at attention. (1000/1000)x3

"Well I'm not done yet!" Jaden yelled, "I've got another card, Payoff!"

"So now you get to draw three more cards, while I get to draw two? Very well." Vincent replied, drawing and bringing his hand up to two cards, compared to Jaden's five.

"I'll activate another Polymerization!" Jaden continued, "Fusing Avian with Burstinatrix to get Elemental Hero Flame Wingman!" The familiar vortex appeared on Jaden's field, absorbing the green-suited and red-suited heroes to form Jaden's favorite monster. (2100/1900)

"And after all that," Jaden said, "I still have my normal summon! I'll summon Elemental Hero Wildheart!" Jaden slammed the card onto his disc and Wildheart appeared, brandishing his sword. (1500/1600)

"Now," Jaden continued, "Since my life points are looking a little low, I'll activate the trap I set a couple of turns ago, Elemental Recharge! This gives me 1000 life points for every Elemental Hero on my field!" An aura appeared around the heroes and beams of energy surged into Jaden, restoring a huge number of life points.

JLP: 6000

VLP: 5700

Jaden grinned. "Now, I'll have Thunder Giant attack Imperial Princess! Voltic Thunder!" Thunder Giant charged up a massive blast of electricity and fired it at the Princess, who didn't even flinch. Instead, one of the three guards jumped in front of the blast, which shattered him into pieces.

JLP: 5500

VLP: 5700

"Each of my White Imperial Guards can be tributed to negate one attack on an Imperial monster." Vincent explained, "Because of this, you took 500 more damage from Imperial Tactics."

"Oh." Jaden replied, looking thoughtful for a moment before smirking. "Well, I have to get rid of that barrier somehow. Flame Wingman, attack Imperial Princess with Skydive Scorcher!" Flame Wingman soared up into the air and dove at Imperial Princess, who again didn't flinch as one of the White Imperial guards intercepted the attack.

JLP: 5000

VLP: 5700

"Are you finished throwing your monsters at me?" Vincent asked, "After all, It's obviously not working."

Jaden grinned. "Yeah, I'm done for now."

"Very well." Vincent drew and looked at Jaden. "He has enough power for what I need, but has no idea it even exists, let alone how to control it! What a predicament..."

"First," Vincent said, "The effect of my Imperial Princess activates during my standby phase. I can now summon one Imperial monster with 1000 or fewer attack points from my graveyard." Imperial Princess snapped her fingers, and Imperial Army Medic appeared next to her. (500/500)

"I believe I'll now play the Spell card For the Empire." Vincent continued, "By tributing an Imperial monster on my field, I can summon any Imperial monster from my graveyard. I'll tribute Imperial Army Medic to bring back Imperial Prince, as well as gaining 500 life points." The medic faded and was replaced by the now irate-looking Imperial Prince, and Vincent was surrounded by a glowing aura. (2100/1800)–(3100/1800)

JLP: 5000

VLP: 6200

"I will now activate another Spell," Vincent began, "This one known as Armies of the Empire. It costs me 1000 life points."

JLP: 5000

VLP: 5200

"It's similar to Pot of Avarice, because I shuffle monsters from my graveyard into my deck and draw. The difference is, I shuffle every Imperial monster in my graveyard into my deck, then draw a card for every three I shuffled back in." His graveyard shot out twelve cards, and he shuffled them into his deck and drew four times.

"Lastly," Vincent finished, "This card grants me an extra summon this turn, as long as I summon an Imperial monster with 1000 or fewer attack points. Using this effect, I will summon Imperial Bureaucrat." Another monster appeared on Vincent's field, this one in a blue military uniform and glasses, boosting Imperial Prince's attack. (0/0), (3100/1800)–(3600/1800)

"For my normal summon this turn," Vincent continued, "I will summon Imperial Army Soldier." A grey-armored soldier with a futuristic machine gun appeared next to the Prince, boosting his attack even further. (1500/1000), (3600/1800)–(4100/1800)

"The effect of my Soldier," Vincent explained, "Grants him 500 extra attack points whenever a monster on my side of the field is sent to the graveyard."

Jaden smirked confidently. "I've still got Mudballman, Flame Wingman and Thunder Giant. Your Prince can't take them all down!"

"True." Vincent replied, "However, he doesn't need to. My Prince will attack Mudballman! Blade of Royalty! Once again, the black-clothed prince darted forward, slashing repeatedly with his rapier. Even Mudballman's massive defense was no match for the Prince's assault, and he shattered. Imperial Prince returned to Vincent's field and the Imperial Bureaucrat shattered as well, turning into black light and damaging Jaden slightly.

JLP: 4500

VLP: 5200

"The effect of Imperial Bureaucrat activates now." Vincent said, "Allowing me to summon any Imperial monster with zero attack and defense points from my deck to the field. I'll summon another Imperial Bureaucrat!" Vincent gestured, and a second of the uniformed men in glasses appeared on his field. (0/0)

"Now," Vincent continued, "I'll activate a Quick-Play spell called Troop Movements. By sending an Imperial monster on my field to the Graveyard, I can summon an Imperial Army monster of equal or lesser level from my hand. I'll send White Imperial Guard to the graveyard to summon Imperial Army Scout in defense mode." Another grey-armored soldier appeared on Vincent's field, this one wearing an wearing a grey cloak and telescoping goggles. He had a radio in one hand. (500/500)

"Don't forget about Imperial Tactics." Vincent finished, "You now take another 500 points of damage." Jaden was surrounded with another black aura, and his life points dropped yet again.

JLP: 4000

VLP: 5200

Jaden just smirked again. "Flame Wingman and Thunder Giant are still here, Vincent. Next turn, they'll take you down!"

"Did you forget about my Soldier's effect?" Vincent asked, "He gains 500 attack points whenever a monster on my side of the field goes to the graveyard. So far that's two, giving him 1000 extra attack points." The Imperial Army Soldier was surrounded by an aura, and his attack shot up. (1500/1000)–(2500/1000)

"My Soldier will attack your Thunder Giant." Vincent proclaimed, as the Soldier cocked his gun and began spraying the massive hero with bullets. After a few moments under the onslaught, Thunder Giant shattered.

JLP: 3900

VLP: 5200

Jaden bit his lip. "Well, I've still got Flame Wingman."

Vincent flipped the last card in his hand around. "I will now activate a second Quick-Play spell, Orders to Fire. By sending an Imperial Army monster on my field to the Graveyard, I can have another on attack a second time this turn. I'll tribute Imperial Army Scout."

The scout shattered, and Vincent grinned. "Now, the effects of Tactics, Soldier and Scout all activate. You take 500 points of damage, my Soldier gains 500 attack points and I get to look at the top three cards of your deck and rearrange them as I see fit." Three holographic cards appeared in front of Vincent. He scratched his chin for a moment. "I will make no adjustments." The cards vanished, the aura around the Soldier intensified, and Jaden was surrounded with another black aura. (2500/1000)–(3000/1000)

JLP: 3500

VLP: 5200

Vincent grinned. "Soldier, attack Flame Wingman." The Soldier again cocked his weapon and sprayed Jaden's monster with bullets. Again, Jaden's monster shattered under just a few moments of gunfire.

JLP: 2600

VLP: 5200

Jaden frowned. "Okay, I guess I don't have Flame Wingman."

Vincent folded his arms confidently. "I'll end my turn with that. Now the effect of my Soldier kicks in, destroying it and dealing me damage equal to half it's attack. Of course, you'll also take damage from Imperial Tactics." The Soldier's rifle glowed for a moment, then exploded, covering the field with smoke. With the number of monsters on his field decreased, Imperial Prince's attack decreased as well. (4100/1800)–(3100/1800)

JLP: 2100

VLP: 3700

Jaden drew a card, then blinked. "Why would he let me draw this?" He slid the card onto his disc. "I activate Graceful Charity. Now I draw three cards, then have to discard two." He drew his cards, and his eyes widened. "What?" He smirked, then slid two of them into his graveyard. "You screwed up, Vincent. One of the cards I just discarded was Elemental Hero Necroshade!"

Vincent just shrugged. "You'll be playing Edgeman now, I presume?"

"Nope."

Vincent's eyes narrowed. "What are you doing, fool?"

"I'm activating Miracle Fusion!" Jaden yelled, slamming the card onto his disc.

Vincent snorted. "No fusion monster you possess can help you in this situation."

"Wrong!" Jaden replied, "I'm removing Clayman, Bubbleman, Burstinatrix, Avian..."

Vincent sneered. "Elixirer isn't strong enough!"

"...Sparkman and Necroshade." Jaden finished.

Vincent blinked. "What?"

The six heroes Jaden had named lined up in front of the glowing portal, and they all were sucked in as Jaden said, "You said Elixirer was the strongest Elemental Hero, but you're wrong. If I use Miracle Fusion to remove one Elemental Hero of each element from the game, then I can summon this guy, ELEMENTAL HERO SPECTRUM!" The monster that emerged from the portal was unlike any before it. He was wearing a silver bodysuit that shone with all the colors of the rainbow. He had golden rings around his ankles and wrists and a golden belt. Floating behind him were six differently colored crystals, one for each element. (3000/3000)

Vincent's eyes widened. "You... actually have one of those? There are only thirty known copies in the entire world!"

"I guess this makes thirty-one." Jaden replied, "Believe it or not, I actually go him out of the first booster pack I ever opened."

"..." Vincent was silent.

"By your reaction, I guess you don't know what he does." Jaden said, "Once during my turn, I can activate one of six effects. I can increase his attack by 1000 until my next turn, prevent him from being destroyed in battle until my next turn, decrease his attack by 1000 until my next turn to allow him to attack you directly, destroy all magic and trap cards on the field, destroy one of your monsters, or bring one of mine back from the graveyard." Jaden smirked as he finished counting. "I'll choose the third." The green gem floated in front of Spectrum, and a gust whipped up around him. (3000/3000)–(2000/3000)

Vincent snarled. "You still cannot defeat me."

"Yes I can!" Jaden declared, sliding one of his last cards into his graveyard. "I can discard a card from my hand to activate Knockout Combo. It allows one Warrior on my field with 2000 or fewer attack points to attack twice this turn!"

Vincent's eyes widened.

"Spectrum!" Jaden yelled, "Attack directly with double Six Element Spheres!" Spectrum launched his crystal spheres at Vincent, slamming them into him a dozen times, knocking him to the floor. As he hit the ground, Vincent smiled.

JLP: 2100

"Students, we have a new School Duel champion!" Crowler yelled over his mic, "Jaden Yuki from East Academy!"

As the holograms faded and the audience cheered, Vincent picked himself up and walked up to Jaden, his face blank. "I gave you a chance, and it appears you passed my test... if barely."

Jaden blinked. "What test?"

Instead of responding, Vincent unhooked his deck case from his belt and held it out to Jaden. "Here. Take these."

Jaden blinked again, more confused then ever. "Why?"

Vincent just shoved the case into his arms, turned around and walked off. "Don't open it until we're gone."

"What the heck is going on?" Jaden called to Vincent.

Vincent turned back to Jaden, who could have sworn he saw a look of sadness etched on Vincent's features. "You will find out far sooner then you should, Jaden Yuki. Farewell, and take good care of my cards. Use them as you see fit." With that, Vincent walked to the exit, where a very angry looking Headmistress Thatcher was waiting.

"You failed, Vincent." The Headmistress said.

He didn't even bother to glance her way. "It appears I did."

In a small empty storage room, Tsukanna was once again sitting at her computer. The figure on the screen had just finished chewing her out, and she wasn't in the best of moods.

"You're completely sure it was one of them?" The figure asked.

"For the twentieth time, yes!" Tsukanna said, "They're not easy to miss."

"Hmmm..." The figure said, "They're watching, so a pickup is still too dangerous. For now, just keep those cards apart." The figure sighed. "If only that boy could be separated from the card... but screwing with one of the Corrupt Elemental Spirits is suicidal."

"Spider-" Tsukanna said.

"What else is there?" The figure, now identified as 'Spider', said irately, "Don't tell me we have more problems!"

"No, I guess not..."

"Good. I've got to go try and find a way to fix this mess." The monitor clicked off, leaving Tsukanna sitting in a dark room.

Tsukanna clutched her head, and slammed one of her fists on the table. "Just leave me alone, will you!"

Later that night, Jaden had finally escaped the festivities and gotten to the safety of his room.

"Phew," Jaden exhaled, "Parties aren't that much fun when you're the guest of honor..."

Jaden set Vincent's deck case on his desk. The West Academy students had left right after the duel, but this was the first good opportunity he had gotten to take a look at it. He flipped open the catches and opened it. Sitting on top was a note with his name on it.

Jaden picked up the note. "What's this?" He opened the note and began reading it, but he dropped the paper after the first line. "Is this a joke, or something?"

Jaden Yuki-

If you are reading this, then you have defeated me, and I am likely already dead.

Next Time: Jaden had defeated Vincent, but it apparently cost the Imperial duelist more then just prestige... As Jaden grapples with his own actions and Vincent's final request, a couple of friendly faces appear. Can a pep talk from Tsukanna and a duel with Zane help him sort things out? Don't miss "Last Will"!
