Yusei is standing in a helicopter. The pilot says, "Mr. Fudo, be careful! Who knows what that thing is?" "Thanks." Yusei jumps into the vortex. All around him is crimson light. Suddenly, pieces of stone appear and start forming pillars. An entire room is built around Yusei. He lands on the ground and walks towards a giant, stone door. The door opens and a piercing light shines through. Yusei covers his eyes with his hands.

Max falls towards the bottom of the ocean. All around his cold, dead body are chunks of rock falling to the bottom of the ocean. The Artifact floats upwards, but gets dragged down by Max. Max's eyes have darkened and his clothes are ripped from all the shards of rock. A single air bubble floats out of Max's mouth, trapped after drowning. The air bubble hits the Artifact, which starts shacking. It glows dimly, slowly getting brighter.

The rocks around Max are pushed away, Max's eyes glow golden and his hair is blown back. His eyes close and the light fades, everything returning to normal. Then, Max's eyes open, back to their normal colour. The Artifact once again glows as his feet touch the ocean floor. He pushes up and goes shooting towards the surface. He flies out of the water and up into the vortex in the sky. I'm coming, Yusei!

Yusei walks into the light. As it fades, Yusei sees Cyberus standing at the other end of the room. "Cyberus! I'm taking you down!" "No, I'M taking YOU down!" "Ok then, how about we duel? You'll pay for Max's death!" "Oh, will I?" "Yes, this is the final duel! And that's a promise." Someone puts their hand on Yusei's shoulder, "No, I'm duelling him!" Yusei looks at the person, "Max! But how did you survive? I saw the last air bubbles!" "Long story, not much time! I'm duelling him, its payback time!" Yusei steps back and lets Max duel Cyberus. "So Cyberus lets pick up where we left off!" "No, we're going from the start! And speaking of starts, you can go first!"

"Draw! I'll start by summoning Elemental Hero Sparkman!"

ELEMENTAL HERO SPARKMAN: 1600 ATK/1400 DEF

Now all I need is a LV 1 Tuner monster! "I'll throw down a facedown! End turn."

"DRAW! I play Cyber Spirit – Melaki."

CYBER SPIRIT – MELAKI: 2000 ATK/

Max says, "Th… Th… That's that Armageddon Prince!" "Yes, I based them on cards. I play two facedowns. Now I activate Cyber Summoning. This lets me summon a monster once more this turn as long as it has 'Cyber' in its name. So out comes Cyber Dragon! Now I tune Cyber Dragon with Cyber Spirit – Melaki to Synchro summon, Cyber Lord – Technus!"

CYBER LORD – TECHNUS: 2900 ATK/0 DEF

"Now Cyber Lord – Technus, destroy his Sparkman!" "Not so fast! I activate Mirror Force!" A force field appears around Sparkman. Cyber Lord – Technus punches the force field, which crumbles apart. Technus pulls away. "What? Why wasn't he destroyed?" "Cyber Lord – Technus can't be destroyed by spells, traps or monster effects. But the attack is still negated. I end my turn with a face down."

"Draw! I play Spellbinding Circle. I equip it to Cyber Lord – Technus so he can't attack! Now I play Angel Synchron!"

ANGEL SYNCHRON: 300 ATK/250 DEF

"Now I tune Elemental Hero Sparkman with Angel Synchron to Synchro summon my ace card, Archangel – Raziel! Now thanks to Technus being a DARK-attribute monster, Archangel – Raziel gains 500 ATK!"

ARCHANGEL – RAZIEL: 3500 ATK/2500 DEF

"Archangel – Raziel, destroy Technus!" Raziel leaps into the air and glides at Technus. A single tear drips from Max's face, "This is for my parents!" Yusei's face sinks, realising something bad happened to Max's parents. "My parents were killed by you! The Artifact showed me! You killed them when I was only 14!" "They deserved it, after everything they did!" "What did they ever do to you?" "They made the future a better place!" "Why is that bad?" "It's bad because there isn't any war, no entertainment!" "Who are you, really? I no you're part robot!"

Cyberus pushes a button on the side of his helmet. Pieces of the helmet slide backwards revealing his hair. Max and Yusei stare in horror. Max says, "Y… Y… You're m…Me!" "No, I am NOT you!" "But you look just like me except older." "I'm not you, I'm your son!" Max smiles, "Good to know." He looks at Yusei, "I have a kid in the future!"

"I play Angelic Double Threat! This let's Raziel attack once more this turn! This duel is over!" Raziel claps his hands together and a beam of light shoots down from the ceiling and surrounds Cyberus.
