03x37 - What Lies Beneath, Part 1

[bunniefuu]

Ahh...

Let's see if any duelists are inside.

Anyone home?

Wow, it's halloween already?

We ask the questions around here.

The supreme king has sent us

To round up duelists of the rebel army.

Seen any?

Duelists?

I'm afraid I haven't.

There's no one like that in here.

You sure?

Because all liars get sent away straight to the stars.

I'm not lying.

I promise you.

You can look around if you'd like to.

Okay, then.

I'll check the house to see

If you're on the level or not.

You better not be lying.

Stand aside, I'm coming through.

This is an awfully big place to be living in all alone.

Who said I was alone?

Who's here?

Take me to them,

Or I'll make you one with the stars right now.

Easy does it.

He's in the room just over here.

I'll take you over to him right away.

He better not be a duelist.

Oh, he's perfectly harmless.

See for yourself.

Step right this way.

[Door closing]

Hey, you locked me out!

Aster: no, I locked you in.

Hold on.

Who are you?

Show yourself now or I'll send you to the stars.

I'm afraid the only person going anywhere is you.

I hope you like to travel, 'cause I'm sending you on

A permanent vacation.

Goblin: hey, boss, where are you?

Come on!

We must report back!

I'm afraid he's quite indisposed at the moment.

He asked for you

To wait over here 'til he finishes looking around.

[Goblin growling]oh!

Human, what was that noise?

That was your boss.

And if you'd like to know what it is

That's happening to him...

I can show you.

Up close and personal.

[Groaning]

And there's more.

Now come forth, cyber end dragon!

Please, don't send me to the stars.

I'll do anything.

Then answer this.

Does the supreme king duel with elemental heroes?

I think he does.

You think or you know?

I-- I'm sure.

I saw his deck once.

And what did you see in it?

Once, as I was handing the king his duel disk,

A card fell to the floor.

It was an elemental hero,

But it was covered in darkness.

You're certain about this?

It's the truth!

Aw, where were we?

Aw, yes, what's the king planning?

He plans to att*ck the fortress.

The fortress where the remaining humans

Have fled and organized a rebel army of duelists,

And once he overtakes that fortress,

There will be no one left to oppose his power.

Anyone not sent to the stars

Will be taken to a prison

Where duelists are forced to become

Loyal servants to the king.

The prison camp.

Where is it located?

It's to the west, you can't miss it.

I told you all I know!

Have mercy!

Just let me go!just let me go!

Of course.

But first, I need to finish what I started and...

Turn you into stardust.

[Goblins yelling]

Zane: aster.

What did you find out?

I'm afraid our worst fears have been proven true.

Our friend jaden and the supreme king

Are one and the same.

But that's not all.

One human city is all that stands in the way

Of the supreme king ruling this world.

He's too strong to fight alone.

We need allies that will fight along our side.

The goblin mentioned a camp.

Perhaps we could find some allies there.

I hope this doesn't lead to a dead end.

Axel, I'm coming for you!

You can run as fast as you want,

But you'll never get away!

Where do you think you're going to scamper to now?

There's nowhere to go...

But down!

[Yelling]

[Gasping]

Axel: oh, man.

Ever since jim disappeared,

My dreams keep getting worse and worse.

Stay strong, mate.

It's over for me.

But not for you.

Whatever you do, you've got to find

A way to save jaden or he'll...

Oh!

The eye!

Axel: I'm not worthy to possess the eye of orichalcum,

Especially after I just ran away like a coward.

I'm sorry, jim, but I can't do this on my own.

My days of dueling are over.

Another duel disk!

Someone's coming!

Hmm?

[Panting]

What are you running from?

[Laughing maniacally]

I think they're gone!

Thank you, stranger.

All: you're our hero.

I'm in love!

Cyrus, aren't they just the cutest things ever?

Uh-huh.

But there's no time for romance.

Oh...

Maiden of the aqua: are you a duelist?

Rumors are spreading of warriors

Who fight the supreme king.

Warriors?

That's us!

In fact, we're heroes.

The bravest, the--

The truth is that I am...

Am more an observer at the moment.

I'm really just looking to find a friend I lost.

He's out there somewhere

And I'm just trying to get him back safely.

Sorry if we misled you.

You're sorry?

You are a hero.

You saved me.

All: and us, too.

Listen.

You want heroes?

I know where you might find one.

[Goblins yelling]huh?

Dancing fairy: there he is!

All: our hero.

Hero?

We were told you could defeat the supreme king.

Wrong fella.

But the small boy in the hooded cloak

Told us you could.

He said that you are brave

And that you would help us,

But if not,

Then all of us will be sent to the stars

By the supreme king's army.

All: please help us!

Help you?

Help you do what?

Because I couldn't even help my best friend

When he needed me!

[Crying]

Leave me alone.

[Goblins growling]

Come out, come out, wherever you are!

If you truly want to hide, then I guess I'll play seek!

[Laughing maniacally]

Ready or not, maiden, here we come.

Huh?

They didn't find me.

But that maiden might not be so lucky.

Axel, it's time to be a hero!

[Yelling]

[Whimpering]

[Whistling]

Our hero! He came back!

Easy does it.

Maiden of the aqua: use this!

Huh?

Oh!

My duel disk!

The boy in the hooded cloak gave it to me.

If I know my friend axel,

He'll come back for you,

And when he does, he'll need this.

Maiden of the aqua: he said you wouldn't let us down.

Chew on this!

[Growling]

Huh? My volcanic deck's useless!

It's only fanning the flames.

I think...that he needs...

Water!agreed.

From the watery depths of the oceans,

I call upon the seven seas to douse these foxes of fire.

Extinguish their flames!

Water?

Maiden of the aqua: axel, the time is now.

att*ck!

Go, anchor bind!

All: take that!

You okay?

All: you saved us.

You're our hero.

I knew you'd come back to us.

Stop it.

I'm not what you think I am.

Don't you see?

I'm a coward.

I'm everything a hero isn't.

I ran from the supreme king.

I was scared.

I mean, I'm a soldier.

I can take on any man or monster,

But the darkness in his eyes,

I've never seen anything like it before.

You can't escape them.

They're evil.

There used to be good in him, but it's fading now.

See?

The darkness has me shaking.

It filled me with so much fear

That I couldn't fight for my friend.

I just turned and ran.

I was just so weak with fear.

Being afraid isn't a sign of weakness.

You see, it's the path you take

When you are afraid that will define you

And you chose to save us.

Now, that's courage.

You could've just walked away and never come back.

But instead, you fought the darkness and the fear.

I didn't.

I just ran away.

What I'm saying is

That you have already beaten the darkness, axel.

Yeah, right.

You weren't with us.

He can't be defeated.

Ahh!

Go away!

Very well.all: oh...

I hope you find the hero inside you.

I know it's there.

Cyrus: axel?

Cyrus!

You were the boy with the cloak.

You shouldn't have given that girl my duel disk.

Maybe I shouldn't have given it to her,

But I did it because I believe in you, axel.

If it's true that your dueling days are over,

So be it,

But when I look into your face,

I can still see the duelist in you,

Plain as day.

The prison camp's not far.

Look at all the duel disks.

I guess jaden was here.

And it seems that he's dueling everything and anything

That gets in his way.

But why would jaden be doing this?

I don't know.

We have to find him

And see if we can stop this madness

Before it's too late.

But we're going to need some help

And I just hope we can find some in that camp.

Well, let's go rescue some duelists.

There it is, zane.

You got a plan?

Oh, yeah.

We could sneak up to the front of the prison

And then wait until all of the guards fall asleep,

Or we could just blast our way through that gate

And not waste any time.

What do you think?you have to ask?

I'm not the type of guy who likes to wait around.

Let's get our game on.

So this is the last stronghold that remains.

Man: come on, now, put your back into it!

We have to fortify these walls

Before the supreme king's army arrives!

Huh?

What is it?

A reminder that I can't give up.

The duelist in me still exists.

You were right.

I have to go help the maiden and her people.

There's no time to waste.

I have to go where I'm needed.

Thank you, cyrus.

Man: keep moving.

We must prepare the walls for battle.

Boy: please, just a little rest.

I've been digging all night.

Keep working!

If you want a break, you'll get one

When the king sends you to the stars.

I'm sorry.

Man: please, I need food for my children.

They're so hungry.

Unless you can duel, you don't get a single thing to eat.

Goodness me, what's happening?

Give it here.

We're all on the same side.

Get back.

Axel: hey!

Forget your manners?

You've come back!

Guardian of the labyrinth: cease your fighting.

The maiden's right.

We must work as one.

If we don't, the forces of darkness

Will att*ck and destroy us all.

As the last free city, human and monster alike

Have banded together

To stop the supreme king and end his reign of darkness.

I'm a soldier.

These trenches will not stop his army.

We need more duelists to guard the ramparts.

Please, I know what I'm talking about.

Oh, really?

Perhaps you'd like to lead us.

After all, the fate of our world

Should rest in the hands of a stranger.

[Chuckling]

Let go!

[Laughing]

Axel: something stinks here.

[Guardian of the labyrinth laughing]

Guardian of the labyrinth: did you see that?

I had them believing every word.

[Laughing maniacally]

That's why I love humans.

They're so gullible.

With our defenses, the city will be

Ripe for the taking,

And, of course, the king will reward us well.

We shall cover the world in a veil of darkness!

[Laughing maniacally]

The age of humans is over!

[Laughing maniacally]

Just one problem.

What of the stranger?

He looks like the type that will interfere.

True.

Axel: and to think I thought he was the brains here.

Skull knight: you?

That's quite the elaborate plan you guys had going.

It's just too bad

That you'll never get to see if it would've worked.

Now, let's pick that brain of yours for some more info.

[Laughing maniacally]

It's you!

Glad that you remember me...

Human.

We cannot let him warn the rest.

Do not worry.

This coward won't tell anyone what we have planned for

When the king arrives,

Because if he dares,

Then he'll have to duel us

And he's much too scared to do that.

You remember being too scared, don't you?

Well then, you next?

Skull knight: you should've seen him running away

Like a frightened child.

Perhaps we should have let him lead these people.

He could have taught them all how to flee in terror!

So you planned to save these people.

A displaced duelists who is afraid to duel?

Careful. He might dash off screaming again.

You're more pathetic than I ever imagined.

How do you even look at yourself

Knowing that you ran away afraid?

If you wouldn't fight for your friend,

How will you fight for these people?

[Laughing maniacally]

Look at them.

Ignorant little humans,

Working with no idea

That their doom is within their own gates,

And their one hope,

The only man with a chance to save them is afraid.

Being afraid isn't a weakness.

It's the path you take when you are.

Who told you that? Grand tiki elder?

[Laughing maniacally]

And I've chosen my path.

I am not running.

I challenge you to a duel.

Excellent.

Once you're sent to the stars,

Then the world will belong to our supreme king.

[Laughing maniacally]
