Episode 6: The Shadow Duelist (2)

Inside the abandoned dorm, the duel continues with SD at 4000 Jaden at 2000. SD tells Jaden that his destiny is set and his Archfiend deck will finish off all Jaden's Monsters while his Millennium Item will finish off Jaden's soul. "This duel's not over yet" Jaden says and plays Mirage of Nightmare and sets 2 cards face down. It's SD's turn and Jaden tells him that his Mirage of Nightmare lets him draw until he's holding 4 cards but SD tells Jaden he could have 4 million and still not have enough to defend against the crushing power of his Monster and attacks but Jaden activates Mirror Force, destroying all of SD's Attack Position Monsters.

SD's not happy and draws. Jaden tells him that he's just daring. SD uses the effect of Desrook Archfiend to bring back his Terrorking Archfiend by discarding it to the Graveyard. He tells Jaden to say hello to a not-so-old friend! He then uses the effect of Pandemonium to add another Archfiend Monster to his hand and attacks with Terrorking but Jaden activates Emergency Provisions, allowing him to send a Spell or Trap Card to the Graveyard and give him 1000 LPs. His score rises to 3000 then drops to 1000 from the attack. SD tells him that his legs are not good and uses the Millennium Item to make his arm disappear. Jaden uses The Warrior Returning Alive to bring back Elemental Hero Avian and uses Poly to summon Elemental Hero Flame Wingman (2100) in Attack Mode. He attacks, destroying Terrorking and putting SD's score to 1900.

 

He's gotta protect his LPs somehow and plays Dark Catapulter (1500) in Defense Mode. Oops again! They're showing Dark Catapulter at 6:16 into the episode as a Normal Monster when it's an Effect Monster!

Jaden orders SD to do his worst but SD tells him to be careful what he wishes for for he just might get it and tributes Terrorking for Skull Archfiend of Lightning (2500) in Attack Mode.

 

He attacks, destroying Flame Wingman and putting Jaden's score at 600. SD uses his MI again and Jaden falls to his knees, his vision blurs and he starts dreaming. He wakes up after Winged Kuriboh comes out of his deck. He wakes up back in the abandoned dorm during his duel with SD realizing SD's playing with his mind. He draws and uses the effect of Dark Catapulter to destroy Pandemonium. SD tells him he hasn't destroyed his MI. Jaden then uses SD's saying of "be careful of what you wish for" and throws his Elemental Hero Avian card into SD's MI.

 

He tells SD that his item is fake and it goes well over the kiddies. SD insists he and his item are real but Jaden says he's a sideshow phony. SD tells him he forgets the girl, she's been feeding on the shadows, which proves his item is real! What does Jaden have to say to that? Besides that he's a big dunce? Jaden questions him. SD tries to escape but is trapped and Jaden rushes over. A millennium eye appears on the field and Jaden asks him how he did it but SD tells Jaden he didn't.

A dark sphere covers the field and Syrus calls Jaden's name. Jaden tells SD enough tricks but SD tells him he couldn't do one like this and "Shadow Realm creatures" gang up on SD, who pleads Jaden to help him but his mouth gets covered up by one of them. The creatures go for Jaden but Winged Kuriboh pops out of Jaden's duel disk. "Now that's weird." Jaden says. First he hears him now he sees him! The creatures take over SD and perform a little mind control but Jaden's not giving in to the Shadow Realm story and the duel continues.

 

Jaden plays Monster Reincarnation, allowing him to bring back one Monster from his Graveyard to his hand by discarding one card and he summons him...Elemental Hero Sparkman (1400) in Defense Mode. SD draws and Jaden reminds him that without Pandemonium out, SD must pay 500 LPs but SD tells Jaden that 500 LPs is nothing compared to his soul. attacks Dark Catapulter, destroying it. He plays Desrook Archfiend (1100) in Attack Mode and one card face down to end his turn. Jaden draws and switches Sparkman to Attack Mode. Then he uses Spark Blaster on Sparkman, telling SD that it has 3 blasts and Sparkman can change the modes of Monsters for each blast but he's not using its effect yet, he's attacking so he orders Sparkman to destroy Desrook and he does, reducing SD's score to 900. Next he uses Spark Blaster...on Sparkman and ends his turn.

 

SD activates Battle-Scarred, forcing Jaden to take the same payment that SD takes with his Archfiend Monsters, dropping his score to 400 and Jaden's to 100. Next, he uses Double Spell, allowing him to use one of Jaden's cards by discarding one of his own cards to the Graveyard. He chooses Emergency Provisions and activates it, sending his face down card to the Graveyard and regaining 1000 points to 1400. He ends his turn. Jaden draws and plays Elemental Hero Bubbleman (0800) in Attack Mode.

 

By Bubbleman's effect, Jaden can summon another Monster and gets to draw 2 cards since he's the only card on Jaden's field. (The real card only lets you draw 2 cards if your hand and field are empty.) Next he plays Bubble Shuffle, which switches Bubbleman and one of SD's Monsters to Defense Mode; then Bubbleman gets tributed for another Elemental Hero. SD says not if his roulette lands on a 1, 3, or 6 but it lands on a 2 so Jaden tributes Bubbleman for Elemental Hero Bladedge (2600) in Attack Mode. He destroys Skull Archfiend and wins the duel.

 

The shadow creatures feed on SD and Winged Kuriboh motions to Jaden of what looks to be an exit and they escape. Meanwhile, Crowler thinks that Jaden's probably screaming in fear but he finds SD's Pandemonium card and realizes SD lost. Chumley asked what happened in there and Jaden says there were monsters and other stuff. Syrus questions Jaden on whether he thinks it was the real Shadow Realm but Jaden says it was all fog machines and mirrors, like he said it was. The "Shadow Realm sphere" disappears. Alexis awakens, wondering where she is. Jaden questions her on what thank you it is and gives her her card and her photograph of her brother. The sun rises and everyone races to get back to their dorms in hopes of not being found out they were gone.
