(ghosts) Vector...

Vector...

Why, Vector... why...

Why did you do it?

No, you don't understand!

I didn't mean to!

(screaming)

(Don Thousand) You seem... uneasy.

Is something troubling you, Vector?

No, nothing I can't handle.

Let us hope not, Because Nash draws near...

with his sights set solely on vanquishing you!

I am not afraid.

Good.

Once we defeat him, I will be unst--

What is the meaning of this?

Just testing the new powers I gained from the other Emperors.

I'm so strong now I won't need you to b*at Nash!

No!

No!

(Vector) I could definitely use a break

from that pompous Barian's babbling.

Nothing to do now but wait for Nash to come to me.

So, there you are!

I've been waiting for you Nash!

Astral, is that the portal to Barian world ahead?

That it is Yuma...

Are you scared?

No way!

I'm ready to take down Don Thousand once and for all!

You'll pay for the pain you caused Marin and to Dumon.

And let me guess, Nash...

You're gonna be the one to make me pay?

Oh I'm so terrified!

You should be.

Please.

You're out of your league.

Think so?

Let's find out!

Temper, temper!

You have serious anger issues don't you?

Barging in, yelling, trying to zap me....

Seems you have a lot of baggage to deal with.

And I'm going to...

By giving you a duel you'll never forget, Vector!

Really?

And why is that?

You painting a picture?

You think this is funny?

Yes, because it's hard to take you seriously.

But since you're not amused by my razor sharp wit,

let's skip to the part where I finish you!

No chance!

You're... through!

(both) Let's duel!

Your madness ends here.

You've got that wrong!

It's only just begun!

I draw!

I activate the spell card, Contract with Don Thousand!

This card will make for a shocking start to our duel

because it activates by consuming ,

of your life points!

Think of it as the cost of entry into my castle!

If you wanna play then you better be ready to pay.

Enjoy having the upper hand, because it won't last for long!

You may change your mind after you fulfill the contract!

(groaning)

(laughing)

Pleasure doing business with you!

Now that the contract has been signed,

we're both obligated to draw one card.

The terms and conditions say

we've gotta reveal every card we draw!

If it's a spell, you can't summon a monster normally

'til the end of the turn.

That fine print gets ya' every time.


You're up!

I draw!

I drew Split Defender...

It's a spell card.

A spell card already?

You must have some kind of luck...

Bad luck!

I drew a monster card!

And now I'm going to summon it!

Welcome Umbral Horror Golem!

Your move!

Just know... no matter what happens next,

I'm going to win!

(Yuma) So this is Barian World...

Doesn't seem very happy here.

An understatement.

This is a place of immense sorrow.

Because of Don Thousand.

Dumon...

Marin...

I will avenge your defeat...

I swear it...

Chaos Draw!

Don't forget about Don Thousand's Contract!

You have to show me the card you drew.

It's a spell card.

No monsters for you yet again!

Now show me the card that ruined your turn.

I'd be happy to.

It's Rank-Up-Magic The Seventh One.

Not that card!

Yes, Vector, that card!

Now I can steer clear of your Contract and summon my Number!

Take to the skies Number Silent Honor Ark!

Then The Seventh One ranks up my Number into a Chaos Xyz Number!

With this one monster, I rebuild the Overlay Network!

Chaos Xyz Evolution!

Feast your eyes on Chaos Number Silent Honor Dark!

Hah!

If you think your Chaos Number worries me,

then you are in for a profound disappointment!

That's because no matter how powerful your monster is,

my Umbral Horror Golem can negate its att*ck,

so you can't att*ck me!

Doesn't matter.

That won't stop Silent Honor Dark!

It won't?

I activate its special ability!

Silent Honor Dark absorbs one of your monsters

and turns it into a Chaos Overlay Unit!

Dark Meta Crest!

Now your field is wide open.

Nothing can stop my monster's onslaught!

Wha--?

Silent Honor Dark blast Vector with everything you've got!

(screaming)

Do you see that?

What is it?

Let's find out!

That's not all you can take, is it?

'Cause I'm just getting warmed up!

Get up, Vector so I can knock you back down!

, points of damage!

That's right!

What do you think of that?

That I should "thank you" Nash.

Huh?

You hapless fool!

I paid attention when you dueled Quattro, you know.

As a result, I'm quite familiar

with the power of Chaos Number ,

as well as your strategies.

I knew it wouldn't take long

for you to play your strongest monster,

Silent Honor Dark, and hit me with everything you've got!

So I set a trap.

I can activate Chaos Rising when I take at least , points

of damage from a Chaos Number.

Which I did thanks to Silent Honor Dark's att*ck.

What?

A little advice from one Emperor to another, Nash.

try to be less predictable...

'Cause thanks to your obvious tactics,

I read you like a book

and now I get to summon one random Chaos Number!

Allow me to present Chaos Number King Overfiend!

(Nash) Vector was willing to take all that damage

to summon one Chaos Number?

Something's not right.

I'm not sure what he's up to, but I better figure it out,

fast.

I place one card facedown and end my turn.

Aw, Nash, if only you knew how important this next draw is.

What do you mean by that?

You'll learn soon enough!

I draw!

Well, look at that.

I drew a spell card.

And it happens to be the exact spell I needed!

I activate Chaos Caller!


You could say I'm ripping up the Contract

because I'm sending it to the graveyard!

This allows me to summon three powerful Chaos Numbers

by negating their special abilities!

Let the party begin!

No way...

First to arrive is Chaos Number Umbral Horror Masquerade!

Our next guest is a brand new friend of mine:

Chaos Number !

No! That's Dumon's!

That's right!

Or rather it was!

Archfiend Seraph!

And last but certainly not least,

someone else I think you know!

Arriving in style, please welcome Chaos Number :

Ragnafinity!

That was Marin's Number.

Since you were so very fond of Marin and Dumon,

I thought it'd be fitting

that I use their Chaos Numbers to win!

You could say they helped me finish you off!

Aww, You look upset Nash.

What's wrong?

Has the sight of your dear friends' Numbers

standing on my field left you speechless?

That's okay, I'll do the talking!

I took them all!

Alito, Girag, Dumon, even your little sister, Marin!

That just leaves you!

You're alone, Nash!

You're all alone...

(Yuma) No, he's not!

It seems some unwanted guests have decided

to rear their ugly little heads.

Shark...

What's going on?

Well, isn't this just delightful, Nash?

In your darkest hour, your little buddies

have shown up to cheer you on.

Yuma and Astral are not my friends!

Say what?

Aww, Yuma...

Rejection hurts, I know.

Be quiet, Vector.

Don't take it personally that Nash is grouchy.

Look, he's had a rough day!

But I don't want you feeling left out,

so after I've dealt with Nash, you're next!

There's not going to be a 'next' for you, Vector.

Why?

Do you plan to stop me?

Impossible!

I possess the combined power of all the fallen Barian Emperors!

You stand no chance against me!

Dumon!

Marin!

Come to me!

This feeling...

It's glorious!

Glorious!

Whoa, Vector's power is off the charts!

Incredible!

It is beyond anything I have ever felt before!

Unending strength courses through every atom of my being!

It wouldn't have been possible without the help

of your friends...

And your sister...

You're seething with rage yet again!

Just like the last time we were here.

Remember?

What do you mean, "last time"?

I guess I'm not surprised you don't recognize this place.

It does look a bit different...

Nevertheless, you blew me away at these very labyrinth ruins.

I barely escaped in one piece and was forced to retreat

back to my kingdom like a panting dog.

But it wasn't enough that you'd put an end to my conquests.

You pursued me here with the single minded objective

of stopping me for good.

Yes...

I do remember...

I banished countless people, remember that?

How can he be so horrible?

It seems his cruelty knows no bounds.

There is no doubt in my mind...

Vector is the deepest depth of pure evil.

You're the lowest kind of low, Vector.

But Nash, you don't even know the full story.

There's much more to me than meets the eye.

Oh, man!

You mean he's done even worse stuff than that?

As legend tells it,

the mad prince exiled his entire kingdom...

After that, he was the only one left in the palace...

I vanquished every last soul who dared to stand in my way...

I was invincible.

That is... until the day I lost to you...

Nash.

You defeated me again, right here in my own palace.


That part was especially humiliating.

But mark my words....

History will not repeat itself.

I'm going to crush you, Nash...

Your story will end here!

(Vector) Any last words, Nash?

Yeah-- You're going to lose!

You have it backwards!

I will destroy you!

Horror Masquerade att*ck Silent Honor!

I activate Silent Honor Dark's special ability!

If it has a Chaos Overlay Unit when it's destroyed,

it can resurrect from the graveyard!

Return from Oblivion!

And that's not all!

I also regain life points equal to Silent Honor's att*ck points!

Not bad!

But I'm just getting started.

It's Archfiend Seraph's turn to att*ck!

Since Silent Honor has no Chaos Overlay Units left,

it's down for the count,

so it's the perfect time for Ragnafinity

to att*ck you directly!

(screaming)

Oh, no!

I hope you enjoy being pummeled by your sister's monster!

I'm sure you'll relish a direct att*ck

from my King Overfiend just as much!

(groaning)

Shark...

He's hanging on by life points.

I'm relieved you still have a bit of energy left.

I didn't want our duel to end just yet.

I'm enjoying making you suffer.

I've got much more planned for you, but for now,

make your move.

This isn't over, Vector....

I draw!

I activate Split Defender!

When there's no monster on my field,

Split Defender allows me to seize control

of the monster on your field with the most defense points!

But if you have two monsters

with the same amount of defense points,

then you get to choose which one I gain control of.

The monsters on your field with the most defense points

are Ragnafinity and Archfiend Seraph...

Which is it gonna be, Vector?

I'm very sorry to disappoint you Nash,

but I'm afraid you will get neither,

because I activate my trap card, Guard Off!

This card robs every monster on the field of its defense points.

And then, for every monster I have with zero defense points,

you get hit with points of damage!

(gasps)

Oh, no! That's , points of damage!

He will not survive this...

Goodbye, Nash!

You will not be missed!

C'mon Shark!

I activate the trap Xyz Charge Up!

With it, I take no damage!

There you go!

You foolishly thought you had me all figured out,

isn't that right, Vector?

The fact is I am one hundred steps ahead

biding my time until you catch up!

And with Split Defender, I get control of one of your monsters!

With Guard Off in play, every monster on your field

has the same amount of defense points.

Which one are you handing over, Vector?

King Overfiend.

It's no big loss...

You can't do much with only , att*ck points!

Actually, that's plenty.

What?

Thanks to Xyz Charge Up's additional effect!

By sending this card to the graveyard,

King Overfiend gains att*ck points

equal to the amount of damage I would have taken!

Uh-oh.

Aw, yeah!

Now King Overfiend is stronger

than every one of Vector's monsters!

King Overfiend, att*ck Masquerade!

(Vector) This... What is this?

I feel so strange...

Whoa...

What's that light mean, Astral?

Nash destroyed the Number that Don Thousand gave to Vector.

Now Vector will regain the true memories of his past!

That'll change things.

I just wonder if it'll be for the better,

or for the much, much worse?
