The three princes stand around the circle facing their master. Zentria says, "Master, is it wise for me to go first? I feel Arkeri should go first. He is most likely to defeat them. If I go first, we might miss our chance at Ekotaio day." "My mind is made, Zentria. You better not fail me!" The outline of the circle glows and Zentria disappears in a puff of black smoke.

Jack is sat in a seat, alone, in the New Domino Duel Stadium. "I was the best. And in the future I'm only third best. But how?" A voice says, "You're pathetic. The only reason you beat Yusei in the first place is that he was distracted. You would never have been king if he hadn't of been distracted." Jack looks around the stadium, then behind him. "Where are you?" "Right here." Jack turns to look back at the centre of the stadium. Zentria is in front of him. Jack says, "Who are you?" "I am Zentria, the first of the Armageddon Princes." "Why are you here?" "I'm here to duel you of course." "Why should I?"

Jack blinks and finds himself at the centre of the Duel Stadium standing at one end of the arena. Yusei and Max are tied to metal poles either side of Jack. Max, struggling to speak, says, "Help us!" Max's black hair starts turning grey. Yusei falls unconscious. "Let them go!" Zentria appears at the other end of the arena and says, "Now why would I do that?" Max whispers, "Archangel – Raziel, help me! Help me! Help me! Max's hair turns black again and his bruised face returns to normal.

The ropes around Max disintegrate, letting him free. Max rushes to let Yusei go, "Jack, you can defeat him! I'll help Yusei." "Okay."

Jack activates his Duel Disk. Black smoke forms a dragon-like Duel Disk around Zentria's arm. Zentria says, "I'll start!"

"DRAW! I summon Spell Reactor RE!"

SPELL REACTOR RE: 1200 ATK/900 DEF

"I play two facedowns. End turn!"

Jack looks at Max, who is helping the limping Yusei to the exit. "Draw! I summon Dark Resonator in defence."

DARK RESONATOR: 1300 ATK/300 DEF

"I'll set two facedowns and end my turn."

"I summon Armageddon Armadillo!"

ARMEGEDDON ARMADILLO: 900 ATK/2000 DEF

"Now I tune Spell Reactor RE with Armageddon Armadillo in order to Synchro summon Armageddon Prince!"

ARMAGEDDON PRINCE: 3200 ATK/3000 DEF

"Now, thanks to the effect of Armageddon Prince, he gains 1300 ATK!" Zentria grabs the collar of his cloak and rips it off revealing a black, skin-tight suit with dark red lightning-shaper lines down the chest. "Now I activate my spell card, Armageddon Destruction Wave!" The card appears and a wave of light destroys Dark Resonator. "This was too easy! Armageddon Prince, attack!" "Not so fast! I activate Mirror Force!" "Well, good thing I activate Armageddon Defence!" Mirror Force shatters and Armageddon Prince shoots red lightning at Jack.

Jack's face shrivels and becomes grey. His entire body shrivels as well. Max runs in to see Jack shrivelling. "Max! Tell Yusei I'm sorry about everything!" After this, Jack turns to dust. "NO!" Max rushes up to the arena and over to Zentria. He grabs Zentria by the neck and yells, "Bring him back! BRING HIM BACK!" "Why should I?" Zentria disappears in a puff of black smoke. Just after he disappears, Max hears a voice. "We'll meet again!"

Zentria is back in the circle. His master says, "Excellent work, second turn. I knew you could do it. Now for your turn, Melaki!" Melaki takes pulls their hood down. "Yes master!" Melaki is a girl.
