Shadowland Castle (Scotts Chamber) / 1:30pm

Scott was in the room with Isono and the phantom and infront of them was Alexander himself.

Scott sighed and replied, "Even with your new cards, you have failed me, Armstrong."

Armstrong then replied, "I tried my hardest to win, but he got the best of me and won the duel."

Witty Phantom then replied, "You were always full of excuses, Armstrong."

He looked at the fiend and replied, "Shut it, fiend boy."

Phantom then replied, "Only if you beat myself in a duel. If you beat me, We'll pretend you never lost to Seto Kaiba."

Scott then replied, "Thats the duel. But if you lose, You're going into prison with the rest of the jailbirds."

Suddenly, a duel disk appeared on the phantoms arm and then Alexander activated his duel disk as well.

"Game on!", both yelled out.

-------------------------------------------------
Secret Castle Passage / 2:00pm

The gang was following Jesse through a dark and rocky tunnel. Johnny and Susan were walking behind Jesse while holding hands.

Jesse then replied, "The entrance to his castle is getting close. We'll be there in about 1 hour."

Mary then replied, "Sounds good."

Susan then replied, "Who built this tunnel?"

Jesse then replied, "Myself, General Freed and the warriors in his army. It took about 3 months, but it was done. We finished it last Friday. We used any kind of material would could fine to make this tunnel stable and safe."

Sissy then replied, "Cool."

Suddenly, the light turned on brightly in the tunnel and they heard a loud noise heading towards them."

Sissy then replied, "What is that?"

Suddenly, a Blue tank with 5 drills came in (2,400/2,400) and Jesse saw the tank and got back behind the girls.

Susan then replied, "A Labyrinth Tank?"

Jesse then replied, "Impossible! We used no machines to built this tunnel."

Johnny then replied, "It must be Nezbitt."

Sissy then replied, "Lets do it, hon."

Johnny nodded as they both activated their disks.

Susan then replied, "Wait!"

Mary then replied, "What is it, Susan?"

Susan then replied, "Remember when we entered Johnsons castle? Whoever destroys that tank is the one Nezbitt will face?"

Johnny looked at his girl and replied, "Want to face him?"

Susan then replied, "It would be a honor, dear."

Johnny took a monster and a Gearfried appeared (1,800/1,600) and then Sissy took a card from her deck and Mudora appeared (1,500/1,800).

Susan then repleid, "Those two are weaker then the tank."

Johnny looked at her sister and replied, "I know. I have a idea."

Suddenly, he turned back around and the tank went in and slammed its drills into iron knight and he was blown to shards.

Johnny growled and replied, "Why you."

He played monster reborn and Gearfried returned (1,800/1,600).

Johnny resumed, "Before you try that again, I activate Gift of the Martyr."

The knight vanished and Mudora began to glow (1,500/1,800 - 3,300/1,800).

Johnny then replied, "Would you do the honor?"

Sissy smiled to him and then she turned to the tank and he replied, "Mudora, go for the tank!"

The sand fairy warrior went in and slashed each of the tanks drills in half and then he stabbed his sword into the center of it and then it sparked.

Sissy gulped and replied, "Everyone, back!"

The gang ran back as the tank exploded into burning scrap metal and then smoke cleared and they found out the tunnel walls were not damaged in anyway and the scrap vanished from sight and then Mudora vanished.

Johnny then repleid, "Wow, strong walls."

Jesse laughed and replied, "Of course. We made sure that the walls would never get damaged in anyway."

Dukey then replied, "Lets keep on going."

He discarded a Grey Wing to his graveyard.

Alexander resumed, "I tribute my dragon for my Dragonic Knight!"

As the old dragon vanished, the mighty Dragon warrior appeared (2,800/2,100).

The phantom then replied, "Very intresting card, Alexander."

Alexander then replied, "Why, thank you. Dragonic Knight, attack!"

The mighty dragon went in and the beast-warrior was blown to pieces when it was struck by the dragons sword.

(Phantom: 6,100LP / Alexander: 4,500LP)

Alexander smiled and replied, "Take that! make your move now."

The beautiful elf appeared and vanished and then a mighty warrior with a glowing halbred appeared (500/1,000).

The phantom then replied, "Meet the Mighty CЗ Chulainn the Awakened!"

Alexander then replied, "He's much weaker then my Dragonic Knight."

The phantom resumed, "he won't be after I use his ability. By removing 1 normal from play, he gains that many attack points until the end of my turn."

He took a Spiral Serpent and slid it into his RFP slot and then his weapon began to glow (500/1,000 - 3,400/1,000).

The phantom resumed, "Next I play Blasting Vein and I'll tribute my spell card for 2 more cards."

Suddenly, cracks appeared all over the spell card and it shattered into pieces and then he drew 2 new cards.

the phantom resumed, "To continue my turn, I Play Shield Crush."

The spell card appeared and blast of magic came ouf of it and struck the facedown and a Dragon Dwelling in the cave appeared and shattered.

Alexander gulped and replied, "Oh, man."

He discarded a Vorse Raider to his graveyard and the Mighty Serpent appeared (2,900/2,800).

The phantom resumed, "Now, I flip my facedown card up."

As he flipped the card up, Mad Dog of darkness appeared with a loud bark (1,900/1,400).

Alexander then replied, "I'm finished."

The phantom smiled and replied, "Indeed you are. CЗ Chulainn the Awakened, attack his Dragonic Knight."

The warrior went in stabbed the dragon in the chest with his sword and it gave out loud roar before it burst into shards.

the phantom resumed, "Spiral Serpent and Mad Dog of darkness, end this duel."

The serpent opend its mouth and fired a mighty blast of water that struck Alexander in the chest and then the dog went in and bit him on the arm.

(Phantom: 5,800LP / Alexander: 0LP)

The fiend then replied, "I have to admit he did give me a better duel then Junk Warrior did."

Scott then replied, "Indeed. Phantom, you may take him away to the prison that the Archfiend General is watching."

The fiend nodded and he walked to Alexander and handcuffed him and then he took him out of the chamber.

Scott then replied, "Good help is so hard to find these days."

----------------------------------------------------
Nezbitts Castle (Tunnel Entrance) 3:45pm

The gang were outside a large metal door with a gold lock on it.

Jesse took a small gold key from his pocket and he put it in the lock and he turned it and then the door opened up and he took the key and he placed it back into his pocket and the gang ran inside and they found out it looked like a factory then a castle. They were machines and computers controlling the castle.

Susan then replied, "Should of figured that this place was just another factory."

Mary then replied, "Because Nezbitt runs it like a factory-like buisness."

Suddenly, 2 Dharma cannons with cameras instead of cannons appeared (900/500 x2).

Sissy then replied, "Thats odd. Those cannons have cameras instead of cannons."

Suddenly, A Robotic Knight came in behind the camera cannons.

Sissy then replied, "You must be Nezbitt."

The machine then replied, "Yes, ma'am. I'm indeed Nezbitt, former Vice President of Technology of Kaiba Corp. The Shadow King gave me this castle and Gringy City to turn into a large factory-like city."

Mary then replied, "The only thing you did to this poor city is turn it into city with no factory, dirty buildings and made it so that no one would ever want to live here."

Nezbitt then replied, "The king did'nt care what happened to this city and he said I could turn into a city with only factories in it if I Wanted to."

Susan then replied, "Did you have anything to do with the destruction of the Gringy Dojo?"

Nezbitt laughed and replied, "Why of course. I secretly hid one of my camera cannons in the dojo. Magnum was a fool and a pathetic duelist. When you all left, I sent in 3 Blast Spheres to wipe out Magnum and the dojo."

Mary then replied, "You pathetic hunk of junk! He might of been a odd duelist, but you no right to take him out."

Nezbitt then replied, "Oh, calm down. Just about 30 seconds before those spheres exploded, he escaped with his Strike Ninja before the place went up in flames."

Susans replied, "Where is he now?"

Nezbitt then replied, "No clue. He escaped somewhere and noone knows where he is. The King is offering 90 thousand gold coins for his capture while your friend Ash is a 60 thousand golf coins."

Ash then replied, "Only 60,000? Dang."

Nezbitt then replied, "Now lets get to the point. Which one of you is dueling me?"

Sissy then replied, "That would be me, Nezbitt."

Nezbitt then replied, "Very well. Meet in my main chamber near the castle entrance and I'll duel you myself."

Suddenly, he vanished from sight.

Sissy then replied, "Lets do this."

They began to run towards the entrance to the chamber.

------------------------------------------------------------------
Nezbitts Chamber / 4:00pm

The gang entered the chamber and they found out was another factory-like area and it had chairs and beds to sleep and rest on, but it all looked odd to everyone. Nezbitt was in the back of the room.

Susan then replied, "Without the chairs and bed, this room looks very famillar."

Nezbitt then replied, "It should. It the are were I dueled Tristan Taylor, Duke Devlin and Serenity Wheeler in a duel and I beat Tristan and lost to the other two."

Susan then replied, "Yeah, I remember. You took the body even though you lost the duel."

Nezbitt then replied, "Are we here to talk about the past or are we here to duel?"

Sissy then replied, "Very well, Lets duel."

Both duelists activated their disks.

Nezbitt then replied, "Select a monster to be your deckmaster."

Sissy looked through her deck and she smiled and replied, "I choose Gellenduo!"

Suddenly, the two cute fairies appeared next to her and she looked a them and replied, "What can you two do?"

The fairies began to speak in her head, "Our ability is called Heavenly Tribute. By discarding 1 Fairy-Type monster from your hand to the graveyard, all Fairies in your hand require one less tribute. You can only use this ability again once of your turns have passed."

Sissy then replied, "That'll help me out."

They both activated their disks and both counters went up to 8,000.

"Game on!", both yelled out.

(Nezbitt: 8,000LP / Sissy: 8,000LP)

Both drew 5 cards from their decks.

Nezbitt then replied, "Ladies first."

Sissy drew a card and replied, "I Set a monster facedown and that'll be all for me."

Nezbitt drew a card and replied, "I Summon My KC-1 Clayton!"

As he sat the card down, a large tank rolled in and the initals KC were on it (2,000/1,200).

Johnny then replied, "Whoa, what a machine."

Nezbitt then replied, "This machine is also a normal monster as well."

Susan then replied, "Wow, intresting."

Nezbitt resumed, "Lets do it. Attack!"

The cannon fired a shot and a Skelengel appeared (900/500) and the shot blew it to pieces.

Sissy drew a card from her deck.

Nezbitt resumed, "And thats that. Make your move now."

Sissy drew a card and replied, "I Summon my Dunamis Dark Witch!"

As she sa tthe card down, the cute winged fairy appeared (1,800/1,050).

Sissy resumed, "I equip her with Silver Bow and Arrow."

The fairy began to glow as a bow and arrow appeared in her hands (1,800/1,050 - 2,100/1,350).

Sissy resumed, "Lets do it. Attack his tank now!"

The fairy fired two bows and it struck the machine and it exploded into burning scrap metal.

(Nezbitt: 7,900LP / Sissy: 8,000LP)

Sissy laughed and replied, "So much for your tank. Make your move now."

Nezbitt drew a card and replied, "I Set a monster facedown and thats my turn."

Sissy drew a card and replied, "I Summon my Aeris!"

As he sat the card down, the fairy warrior appeared (1,800/1,500).

Sissy resumed, "Lets do it. Dunamis, attack!"

The fairy fired a blast of energy and Machine King Prototype appeared (1,600/1,500 - 1,700/1,500) and the fairy fired a ball of energy that blew the machine to pieces.

Sissy resumed, "Direct attack!"

The fairy resumed, "Aeris, direct attack."

The fairy went in and slammed its spear into the machine.

(Nezbitt: 6,100LP / Sissy: 8,000LP)

Sissy smiled and replied, "Take that! Make your move."

Nezbitt drew a card and replied, "I activate Tribute to the Doomed."

He discarded a Gradius to his graveyard and the wrappings came out of the ground and wrapped the winged fairy up tight and then it was pulled into the ground.

Nezbitt resumed, "I now normal summon my Heavy Smasher without tribute."

As he sat the card down, a large machine with a large head, large body and two large spiked ball arms appeared (2,800/2,000).

Nezbitt resumed, "When I summon with its ability, It loses 1,000 ATK."

The machines began to spark a luttle bit (2,800/1,000 - 1,800/1,400).

Nezbitt resumed, "I activate my deckmasters ability. Its called Master Upgrade and by removing 1 machine from play, all of my machines on the field gain 500 ATK until the end phase of the turn."

He took the Gradius and slid into his RFP slot and the machine began to glow.

Susan then replied, "Now thats a perfect deckmaster ability for a machine duelist."

Nezbitt nodded and replied, "I thought so myself. ATTACK!"

The machine swung its fist and it struck the fiary warrior, blowing him to shards.

(Nezbitt: 6,100LP / Sissy: 7,500LP)

Nezbitt resumed, "Okay then. I Set 2 cards facedown and thats my turn."

Sissy drew a card and replied, "I'll acitivate my deckmasters ability and by discarding 1 fairy to the graveyard, I can summon a fairy with one less tribute."

She discarded a Keldo to his graveyard.

Sissy resumed, "Now I Summon my Ohka without tribute."

Suddenly, the Majestic-lion-like fairy appeared (2,400/1,400).

Sissy resumed, "Attack!"

The fairy opened its mouth and fired a blast of red energy and it struck the machine in the chest, blowing it to scrap.

(Nezbitt: 5,500LP / Sissy: 7,500LP)

Nezbitt smiled and replied, "I activate my facedown card, Level Resist Wall!"

Sissy then replied, "What does it do?"

Sissy then replied, "It lets me special summon monsters from my hand equal to the level of my destroyed wall and a I think he was a level 8!"

As he sat two cards on his duel disk, A tall robot appeard and it was green and silver, shaped like a marine in a flackjacket and helmet, with one glaring eye. Its right arm ended in a nasty blade (1,600/1,500) and then a Robot with a sniper rifle in its hand appeared (1,800/800).

Nezbitt resumed, "Meet my Machiner's Soldior and Machiner's Sniper!"

Sissy resumed, "Okay. I end my turn now."

Nezbitt drew a card and replied, "I Summon my Machiner's Defender."

As he sat the card down, a small machine with missle launchers on its sides appeared (1,200/1,800).

Nezbitt resumed, "I play Double summon for my Commander Covington."

As he sat the card down, a tall red robot appered (1,000/600).

Nezbitt resumed, "Next I play emergency provisions to destroy my facedown card which is a spell card called a Machiner's Soul and when its activated I can add a Machiner's monster from my deck to my hand."

The mouth appeared and swallowed the facedown card in one gulp and then he took his deck out and he found the card he wanted and he added it to his hand.

(Nezbitt: 6,500LP / Sissy: 7,500LP)

Nezbitt resumed, "Now with my commander on the field, I can tribute the three other machiners to special summon the best monster in my deck!"

As the 3 machiners vanished from site and as Nezbitt placed a card onto his disk, a huge machine appeared and it was as big as Ancient Gear Golem, with armor, thick limbs, and a large rifle in its hands. On its back was a unit, out of which reached two mechanical limbs that held two giant missile launchers (4.600/4,100).

Nezbitt laughed and replied, "Meet the the best machine in my powerful machine deck, the mighty Machiner's Force!"

Sissy gulped and replied, "Oh, boy.."

Johnny then replied, "Whoa, that thing has 4,600 ATK!"

Mary then replied, "It could demolish Ultimate Ancient Gear Golem and the Blue Eyes Ultimate Dragon in no time!"

Nezbitt resumed, "Indeed my powerful machine can! I have to pay 1,000 lifepoints to attack with it, but thats no big deal. ATTACK!"

The machine fired a barrage of missles and the crystal-like fairy was blasted into pieces when struck by the missles.

(Nezbitt: 5,500LP / Sissy: 5,300LP)

Nezbitt laughed and replied, "This is fun! I play sebeks blessing and make your move now."

(Nezbitt: 7,700LP / Sissy: 5,300LP)

Sissy drew a card and replied, "I set 1 card facedown and I set 1 monster facedown and thats my turn."

Nezbitt drew a card and replied, "I tribute my commander for my Jinzo!"

As the red machine vanished, Jinzo appeared (2,400/1,500).

Sissy gulped and replied, "Great...

Johnny then replied, "Jeez, this is'nt going to well."

Nezbitt then replied, "This will be fun! Attack!"

Jinzo fired a black ball of energy and a Zolga appeared (1,700/1,200) and was blown to pieces.

Nezbitt smiled and replied, "This will be fun! I pay 1,000 lifepoints to let my machine attack you directly!"

The machine fired another barrage of missles and a fierce explosion engulfed Sissy.

(Nezbitt: 6,700LP / Sissy: 6,000LP)

Suddenly, the smoked cleared and Sissy was still standing.

Nezbitt looked at her lifepoint counter and replied, "What happened?"

Sissy groaned and replied, "I activate Hyper Refresh. If you have two monster that have a combined total Of ATK points that is more then my lifepoints, mine our doubled."

Nezbitt then replied, "You are a stubborn little girl. I set 1 card facedown and that will end my turn."

Sissy drew a card and replied, "I Set a monster facedown and thats my turn."

Nezbitt drew a card and replied, "I equip Jinzo with a spell card known as Amplifer so now I can use trap cards all I want know. Attack her facedown card!"

The machine fired a ball of dark energy and a Gellenduo appeared (1,700/0) and the attack did nothing.

Nezbitt then replied, "Darn it. I end my turn now."

Sissy drew a card and replied, "I tribute my Gellenduo for my Voltanis The Adjudicator!"

As the two cute fairies vanished, the Mighty Voltanis appered (2,800/1,400).

Sissy resumed, "Lets do it. Attack Jinzo!"

The fairy fired a blast of energy and it struck the machine in the chest and it was blasted into pieces.

Sissy resumed, "I activate Megamorph!"

The fairies ATK went up (3,300/3,000 - 6,600/3,000).

Nezbitt gulped and replied, "Not good at all."

Sissy resumed, "This will be fun! Attack!"

The fairy made a large ring of light and it struck the large machine and small explosions happened all over the machines body and then it burst into burning metal and slag.

(Nezbitt: 3,700LP / Sissy: 4,200LP)

The Mighty fairy king gave out a loud groan as its ATK went down (3,300/3,000 - 1,650/3,000).

Nezbitt then replied, "I activate Great Fall! I can only use this when a Level 10 or higher monster is destroyed in battle, Now I get to draw 2 cards."

The Sand Fairy warrior went in and slashed the token and it blew to pieces.

(Nezbitt: 400LP / Sissy: 1,450LP)

Sissy smiled and replied, "Take that! I Set 1 card facedown and make your move now."

Nezbitt drew a card and replied, "I Play Dian Keto."

He began to glow.

(Nezbitt: 1,400LP / Sissy: 1,450LP)

Nezbitt resumed, "I play Brain Control."

The Sand Fairy went to her side of the field.

Nezbitt resumed, "I tribute it for my Machine King!"

As the fairy warrior vanished, the mighty king of machines appeared (2,200/2,000 - 2,500/2,000).

Nezbitt resumed, "I'm equipping my King with Launcher of the Machine King."

Suddenly, one of the kings fists vanished and it was replaced by a large cannon with a missle in it (2,500/2,000 - 3,000/2,000).

Nezbitt resumed, "Now to finish you off. I activate my deckmasters ability."

As he took his Acrobat Monkey and slid into the RFP slot, the machine began to glow (3,000/2,000 - 3,500/2,000).

Nezbitt resumed, "I activate Rush Recklessly!"

The priests attack went up (1,700/1,600 - 2,400/1,600).

Nezbitt resumed, "Attack!"

The machine fired a missle and it struck the fairy, blowing her to pieces.

(Nezbitt: 600LP / Sissy: 350LP)

Nezbitt resumed, "I end my turn now."

Sissy drew a card and replied, "I activate Coins of Heaven."

Sissy drew 5 cards and Nezbitt drew 4 cards.

Sissy then replied, "I summon my Command Angel."

As she sat the card down, the fairy commando appeared (1,200/1,900 - 1,600/1,900).

Sissy resumed, "I activate Riyoku!"

The machine began to glow (3,500/2,000 - 1,750/2,000) (1,600/1,900 - 3,350/1,900).

Nezbitt then replied, "Not me.."

Sissy smiled and replied, "This duel ends now."

The fairy fited a barrage of shells and it each struck the machine in the chest and the mighty machine exploded into shards.

(Nezbitt: 0LP / Sissy: 350LP)

He dropped two cards from his deck to the floor.

Nezbitt then replied, "Lehictor will finish you all."

Suddenly, he burst into shards.

Sissy went up and grabbed the two cards and she walked to Sissy and replied, "These are for you."

Susan took the two cards and she replied, "Thank you so much, Sissy."

Sissy smiled and replied, "Not a problem at, Susan."

She quickly shuffled the cards into her deck and suddenly, a door appeared.

Sissy resumed, "To the barrier room!"

They quickly ran inside.

-
Barrier Room / 5:30pm

They arrived inside. The beam was silver color between two cannon-like turrets and a large silver ball was in the middle.

Sissy placed a card onto her disk and Command Angel appeared (1,200/1,900 - 1,600/1,900).

She pointed to the barrier and the fairy a barrage of gold shots and each shell struck the energy and it burst into shards and then the turrets shattered as well.

Susan then replied, "4 down and 1 to go."

Suddenly, a portal opened up and Sissy resumed, "Lets go!"
