03x40 - The Forbidden Ritual, Part 1

[bunniefuu]

[Moaning] is that me?

Oh no--what did I do?

Jim!

If he can use gaia-- then I'm a goner...

I'm playing super polymerization--

With that--i can fuse my monster

With any monster, from your field.

Combining to form your doom!

Supreme king: evil gaia!

Destroy him with dark catastrophe!

No-o-o-o-o-o!!!

Jaden: not axel too!

The power of the orichalcum, brought jaden back.

Promise that you'll look after him.

Jaden: I'm sorry. I'm so sorry!

Aah! Aah!

Zane: you ok jaden?

I'm not sure, I just had the scariest dream...

Aster: no kidding, you woke up screaming...

Hey...where's axel? Where's jim?

[Sigh]

It wasn't, a dream, it was all real.

I sent them away.

How. How could I do that...?

Easy now, jaden.

You were the supreme king's puppet.

The darkness inside you, took control.

But I let it take over. 'Cause I was weak.

Well the darkness is gone now,

But your friend jesse isn't!

I know you're upset and all.

But right now--

Your friends need you to get it together

So we can find jesse.

"Friends?" H-yeah right!

After the stuff I pulled, who would want me as a friend?!

[Sobbing]

Come on...

Aster: he's really burning up.

Zane: set him down.

Aster: rest up jaden, you're going to need it.

Adrian: after all my searching, I've finally found you.

Lies the power I need to rule this world.

It's time to... Break your seal!

When I finally confronted yubel

And saw that he possessed the cards to summon out exodia,

I knew the power I desired.

At first he didn't think I was worthy of them,

But he could see that I would do anything to possess such power.

I always promised to put others ahead of my ambitions,

But now that must change...

I must be ruthless;

I must put nothing before my desire to rule this world.

But in order to break the seal and release exodia,

Someone must be willing to offer up their duel energy to him...

But who would do that for me?

Echo...of course...

I hope his fever breaks.

Aster: take a look at this zane.

Super polymerization.

It's that new fusion card.

I wonder where jaden could have found a card so powerful.

We may never know. Along with me never knowing

If I could have taken down the king myself.

Are you kidding?

Didn't you watch him duel?

Yes I did. He was dangerous.

He was menacing and powerful and ruthless.

Does that sound like anyone else you know?

Whatever, zane. You know--everyone else

Is just worried about getting out of here.

It's not a game anymore.

What's wrong with you?

Our friends may be gone for good.

And you, you're just,

More concerned with finding a good match.

Think about it, zane-- we almost lost jaden.

Interesting--you've developed a soft side.

Have not! [Crowler screams]

Go away, go away, shoo!

[Screaming] this way!

[Screaming]

Wait, miss echo!

Again...

What on earth?

Cyber dragon and diamond dude!

That must mean...!

Aster phoenix! Zane!

It's me, your loving teacher!

How lucky to bump into you! Aah!

Who is that?

That's miss echo.

She was near me at the academy.

Then that portal opened--

And we were both sucked into the big light.

Echo: adrian!

Who's there?

Don't egg me on... [Gasp]

Crowler: and when the light faded,

We found ourselves in this place.

Well, welcome to nowhere.

Syrus is right over there.

And we recently managed

To hook up with jaden, too,

But he, uh--excellent!

With jaden backing me up--

The monsters here don't stand a chance!

We may even get out of this place!

Hold up. Jaden isn't doing so good.

Crowler: what happened?

Where do I start.

At the top.

Hey, isn't that the uh...transfer student.

That's weird.

What's his pic doing in her locket?

How do they know each other??

Crowler: so you're saying that jaden was the supreme king,

And he sent both jim and axel to the stars...

Aster: that's it in a nutshell.

How will I ever explain this to chancellor shepherd...

[Sniff] sounds like my tenure

Is on the line again....

...especially after that whole

Disappearing duel academy fiasco...oh dear me...

Why do I always find myself mixed up in all these hi-jinx....

Hey, uh--echo?

Yes aster...

Is this yours?

I found it on the ground.

I looked inside.

Sorry but I was just curious.

That picture in there--

That's that adrian kid, isn't it?

You lookin' for 'im?

He came to that world

With the others the first time.

Didn't he?

And just like jesse--

He never made it back.

So like jaden came looking to rescue jesse--

You're here to rescue adrian.

Be quiet. You don't know.

So are you his girlfriend?

That's none of your business.

Did I hit a nerve? That's it, isn't it?

Why dontcha back off?!

I get it.

He doesn't know how ya' feel--does he?

Uh-uh. Uh-huh.

I could never tell him the truth.

He mustn't find out.

He has enough on his mind already.

He doesn't need another distraction.

Another distraction from what?

From becoming king.

He's destined to rule this world,

But he, he always puts

The needs of others before his own.

I would do anything to see him

In his rightful place.

Even if, it means hiding the truth.

Okay--you just went to a really weird place.

I was with you 'til the king thing.

Don't make fun! See this?

The person inside is your better.

He is stronger than all of you.

He's smarter. And he is kind.

What's going on?

Is this fog?

Feel that?

Did it get colder?

What is this?

Aster: jaden!

Zane! Watch the others!

Miss echo!

Come here, I'll protect you!

Then I'm going to help aster.

Wait, you must protect me!

This fog... This cold...

Ojama yellow: hold me! I'm freezing!

Aster: what's this? Everyone!

Try to hold on and stick together...

What happened?

I can't be certain.

But I think we were just teleported here.

Miss echo--are you alright?

[Moans]

Jaden--you ok?

I am not liking this. [Gasp]

Aster: someone's coming!

It's...adrian.

You mean-- the transfer kid?

Adrian...

So good to see you! We were all worried.

After you were left behind,

I thought we'd never hear from you again.

[Thinking] I don't trust this guy.

I wasn't left behind, crowler.

I stayed. I chose to stick around.

You did?

So you...

You've been here all this time...

Did you see jesse?

Afraid not...

Oh man...ah!

Look!--It's that creepy arm!

No way!

You've teamed up with yubel--

...like viper and marcel!

Aah!

Echo...so good to see you.

I've been waiting for this moment.

What's going on?

And why are you staring at me like that?

[Chuckles] I'm just happy to see you.

Don't trust this guy.

Adrian!

Come with me, echo.

I don't want to go with you,

You're scaring me.

That wasn't a request!

Echo! Are you alright?!

Aster: adrian! Leave her alone!

I'm only going to tell you once--

This is between me and echo.

Not anymore!

Didn't you hear what she just said?

She doesn't wanna go anywhere with you.

Adrian: is that so?

Don't you want the best for me, echo?

I can't do it alone.

Without you--i can't achieve greatness.

I need you. Won't you help?

You see--i must have all your duel energy, echo...

...in order to be king!

Duel energy?

That's right.

But she'll.

Not a chance!

Listen please!

Echo--just come over here right now...

Let her go, adrian!

Aah!

Or what?

Or you'll answer to me!

If you really want echo...

You better be ready to duel!

Uhh...aster... Don't...uhh!

Adrian: fine. I accept your little challenge.

But not here, it's too dark. Follow me...

There--i'll go first...

Crowler: isn't this cave dark, too?

Am I missing something?

Zane: he wanted to be here for some reason.

Be careful, aster.

Adrian: yes, aster-- be careful.

Adrian and aster: game on!

Hang in there...

It's my turn! I draw!

I summon vortex trooper in defense mode!

Due to my trooper's special ability...

I can send two cards to my deck,

And then, ...shuffle them all up.

And now I draw two new cards.

It's your move.

[Thinking] so he summoned a monster

That lets him swap cards around...

What kind of strategy has he got going on?

Whatever.

Keep your eye on the prize, aster.

My turn. I draw!

I summon-- a destiny hero!--

Time for diamond dude to shine!

First I'll activate his special ability.

It lets me check my deck's top card.

And if it happens to be a normal spell...

The spell will activate

During my next main phase.

Well, look at that. It's a spell card.

We'll deal with that later.

Cause diamond dude's about to att*ck!

Go diamond blast!

[Roaring]

When vortex trooper is destroyed in battle--

I can draw a card from my deck!

I place two cards facedown-- your move, transfer.

Adrian: so it is...i draw.

And summon deep diver... In defense mode.

After I place one card facedown...

I end my turn.

[Thinking] why isn't he attacking?

Something tells me I've gotta

Hurry up and b*at him

Before whatever he's cooking starts to boil.

Zane: why did adrian want to duel aster down here?

And what's he planning on doing with echo's duel energy?

And my guts telling me that both questions

Are gonna wind up having the same answer....

Ready adrian? My move!

And guess what?

Due to diamond dude's special ability,

I can activate destiny draw.

So I draw two cards from my deck!

Now destiny dude lets me check

The top card of my deck to see

If it's a normal spell or not.

And it is.

So I'll just put it in my grave for now.

And wait till next round to trigger it.

If there is one.

Say that to destiny hero dunker!...

...in att*ck mode!

[Roaring]

With dunker's special ability...

I can send a destiny hero

From my hand to the grave--

In order to dish out points of damage!

I think it's time for a change!

So I'm activating the field spell!--

Clock tower prison!

Big ben...hmph! Big deal!

Now, I reveal my facedown cards!

Wait a sec--why play two?

'Cause time's of the essence!

By playing two eternal dread trap cards

I can wind my clock tower ahead

By a total of hours.

The bell will toll for thee adrian.

And next I play the spell--

Mystical space typhoon!

This lets me destroy one spell or trap

That I have in play.

If my tower is destroyed

With both hands at twelve--

I can summon up destiny hero dreadmaster to take its place!

[Roaring]

And not only that--

When my prison's special effect

Gives dreadmaster his wake-up call...

...i get to summon another destiny hero from my graveyard.

And I choose-- destiny hero disk commander!

Thanks to disk commander's special ability...

I get to draw... Two more cards from my deck.

As for dreadmaster's att*ck points...

You take the original att*ck points

Of every destiny hero on my field,

Add 'em up, and booya!

[Roaring]

Now the first strike--

Dunker att*cks deep diver!

Go power dunk!

Second strike!--

Disk commander and diamond dude att*ck you!

This third strike's gonna take you out!

Let's go--dreadmaster!

Show this guy his true destiny!

Adrian: I play my facedown card! Dimensional prison!

Great. A counter trap.

It can activate anytime you att*ck me with a monster.

As for the monster--

Slow down, pal!

If dreadmaster att*cks

On the turn he's summoned...

My destiny heroes cannot be destroyed in battle...

'N they don't take damage.

I'm not destroying your monster.

I'm removing it from play.

And here's more bad news!

Because you sent my deep diver to my graveyard,

Its special ability activates

Letting me select one card from my deck.

And I place that card on the top.

I get it...he must be strengthening his hand.

Trying to build it up to summon something big...

Wait--of course... I better stop this now before it's too late!

Here goes... I activate--

The force of four spell card.

Because of this spell--

Both players can only have four cards in their hands.

If you try to add a fifth card to your hand,

It goes straight to the graveyard.

I have three cards in my hand.

So I'm good to go.

But you gotta ditch one, transfer.

You were about to complete exodia!

Adrian: that's right.

Well, you can't do it

Unless you have all five cards in your hand.

It hurts, I know.

Looks like you're one card short!

What is it?

That's it for me.

This isn't over. I draw.

Look at that. Too bad it's useless.

You got a backup plan?

I sure do.

From my grave, I activate--

The ritual of the ultimate forbidden lord spell card!

No way...

There it is! Exodia!

What is that?!

Adrian: in order to achieve my destiny

And rule this world,

I must control exodia's power.

But in order to release exodia from its chains...

And harness its energy...

I must...offer up the duel energy

Of someone close to me.

Adrian...

I told you I needed you to realize my greatness.

Echo...i can't do this without you.

And you won't.

Echo, no. Don't do it.

I'd do anything to win a duel.

But I'd never cross this line.

Adrian...

Crowler: uhh. You don't wanna do this, miss echo.

Come on, echo! Stop it!--

He's using you!

Aster: echo!
