02x26 - Mirror, Mirror Part I

[bunniefuu]

Jaden: we have to save them!

Bastion: come on!

Grandpa: right behind you!

Sort of.

Well, what do ya know.

Sartorius' trap worked.

So long, jaden.

You'll either come back as one of us

Or you won't come back at all!

Good luck.

By the way, thanks for the lift!

Right, my pleasure.

Thanks, aster.

For what?

Get it straight.

I'm going to kaiba land for me, not you!

Well, believe it or not,

I actually enjoy your company, bro.

Ha ha!

Grandpa: wait! Hmm?!

Look over there, kids!

It's kaiba land!

Built as a monument to the art of dueling,

It's witnessed the most illustrious competitions in history!

What?

Who said that?

Wow!

Then I guess it's about time

We wrote our own history there!

Hmm! Huh?!

Oy vey!

Not this place.

What is it, gramps?

Try reading the sign, dude.

It's a computer-generated alternate reality.

Ok.

Now what is it in english?

Simple.

It's kaiba's virtual world.

If you kids go in,

There's a chance you may never come out!

Well, my friends are in there,

So danger or no danger...

I'm goin' in!

And you?

You bet I am!

My destiny's in there.

Grandpa: don't say I didn't warn you.

Bastion?

I think it's best if you and gramps wait out here.

Grandpa: no argument from me!

[Gasps]

Uh, hello?

Hassleberry?

Syrus?

You out there?

[Grunts]

What's the deal, man?!

Yeah, man!

Where are we?

Well...

If I had to guess,

I'd say our minds were digitized.

That's right, soldier.

But cheer up.

Yeah, at least you don't run on gasoline!

Or have a -foot tail!

Actually I don't mind the tail...

But I would like to go home.

But how?

I mean...

Where's the exit?

I have a hunch we can't leave...

Unless we duel.

[Gasps]

Look! It's them!

Jaden: the light brigade!

Fine!

Let's duel!

That's why we're here, right?

Female voice: well put, jaden.

Hmm?

But there's more to it than that.

It's sarina!

What's this about?!

And why am I here?!

Aren't I on your side?

You've both been summoned here

To participate in the ultimate test.

And I've been asked oversee it.

Male voice: as you know, the cards predict a chosen one--

A young protege to stand by my side.

Yes, but who is it?

That's what I need you to figure out.

Is it aster?

Or could it perhaps be a more unlikely candidate?

Interesting.

But how can I uncover the truth?

You must challenge both of them to a duel.

Through this battle

The answer will become clear.

And then...

We'll make sure he sees the light.

As you wish, brother.

Good luck.

And be sure to always listen to the cards.

Understood?

Hold on!

So, that means...

I may be the one sartorius needs after all?

Correct.

Why do you think he took you in

All those years ago?

He thought you were the one.

He what?!

So, he was using me from the start?

So that I would join his plot?

Precisely!

And now you must face me in a duel

To see if he was right!

So, one of you comes with me,

And one stays trapped here!

Wait a sec!

If you want to duel us...

Then promise you'll put everything

Back to normal when we win!

If you win.

But I wouldn't set my heart on it

If I were you.

Let's just say in here,

I have the field-point advantage.

So, you in the mood for a tag duel?

Why not?

Could be fun.

All right!

But if what sarina said is true...

Then I'm dueling for me.

Not for your friends.

Jaden, even since I was a kid...

I had the feeling I was destined for greatness.

Now I'll know for sure.

[Thinking] well, so much for teamwork!

But this is the only way

To save hassleberry and syrus!

Before we get our game on...

Who's your partner?

She's been right here!

Would you boys like to meet her?

Surprise.

[Chuckles]

Give me a break!

And I thought one was bad!

All: game on!

Sarina: since we're in my world...

I'll start!

Now I summon spirit ukyo!

Then I'll lay a card facedown and play this!

It's a spell card called full moon mirror!

What is that thing?!

Beats me.

[Thinking] but I'm gonna keep my eye on it

'Cause something tells me it's bad news.

Sarina: I'd love to tell you what it does...

But that would spoil the surprise.

If you're done...

Then I summon my avian in defense mode!

Next, I'll throw down a facedown...

And let you go.

Her again?! No fair!

It's quite fair.

Watch!

I'm summoning: my spirit sakyo!

Lastly...

I'll play this facedown

And end my turn.

Not too shabby.

But it's no captain tenacious!

And next...

I'll play this down...

And take a break.

Now, round two!

I play my mirror route spell!

And I'm adding it to my silver spirit ukyo!

This gives him the power

The attack one of you directly!

Both: say what?!

All right, ukyo, attack!

Target jaden!

Quick silver!

[Screams]

[Sarina giggles]

Care to retaliate?

You bet!

And I'll start with...

Polymerization!

So, it's time for some fusion action!

Avian and burstinatrix merge

To create elemental hero flame wingman!

For my next trick...

I'll be making your spirit disappear!

Not exactly!

You triggered my mirror bind!

Before we continue...

Let's pause for a moment.

And take this time to reflect.

Mirror, mirror on the wall,

Who will fall next in this brawl?

Wingman?!

What's the deal?

His attack, it's reflected!

Sarina: looks like you're both defenseless now.

Well, not for long!

'Cause I play...

Elemental mirage!

When an elemental hero is destroyed,

This trap card brings it right back to the field!

So, come out, wingman!

I'm not ready to give you up just yet!

[Thinking] not bad.

But don't think this makes you the chosen one!

Here's my trap!

Go, destiny mirage!

With this in play...

My hero makes a triumphant return, too!

[Thinking] strange.

Their strength is nearly identical.

So, which one is destined

To walk by my brother's side?

Hey, aster, not bad!

[Thinking] there's no way

I'm gonna let that amateur out-duel me!

Do you realize I almost lost

My best monster because of you?

Pay attention next time!

Ha ha!

Totally my bad!

Trust me, bro...

This next turn's gonna be different!

Attack her, silver spirit ukyo!

Stop right there!

I play mirror trap!

This takes the trap card my doppelganger used,

And sends it over to my side!

And the best part is I can use it now!

So, this should look familiar!

Activating mirror bind!

Not again!

Now that's just lame.

You need some r and r, private!

You gotta start paying attention in class!

Sorry.

I'll stop now.

Good!

[Thinking] I'm sure by now sarina realizes

That I'm the one she's looking for!

Sarina: unfortunately for you two,

It's my move again.

Now then...

Silver spirit sakyo,

Attack aster phoenix!

Quick silver!

[Grunts]

And I'll play this:

My mirror call spell!

And it brings a trap back...

As long as sakyo and ukyo are on the field!

Now which trap card should I choose?

Come on.

I'm sure you can guess!

Now, go.

Not two more facedowns!

That's right!

And we know one of 'em is that mirror bind!

We do?

Would you just pay attention!

What we should focus on...

Is getting rid of her two spirits.

Then she won't be able to activate her mirror trap!

Yeah!

Nice thinking!

How exactly do we do that?

Ha. Leave it to me.

Here we go, folks!

Hmm!

I summon destiny hero doom lord!

And his special ability

Sends your sakyo two rounds into the future!

It's time warp time!

Your spirit's taking a little trip!

[Chuckles]

Afraid not.

It's your card that's leaving!

What?!

I activate silver spirit redirection!

Any special ability

That targets my monster is cancelled.

And whoever tries it is removed from play!

Jaden: it looks like we're "o" for two!

You got something else up your sleeve, right?

You mean like my d-sririt?!

Let's see your elemental heroes try this!

'Cause with my spell in play...

If I already have a destiny hero on the field,

I can play another one from my hand!

And I have the perfect guy in mind!

It's a destiny hero known as fear monger!

Next, I'll discard my blade master...

To trigger his effect,

Which lets me add points to my fear monger!

Now, attack!

Destroy her silver spirit sakyo!

[Grunts]

Then I'll play a facedown...

And call it a turn.

Looks like your mirror is cracked!

Honk of you're happy!

That's not funny, sarge!

[Thinking] did you happen top see that, sartorius?!

Who's the chosen duelist now?!

[Gasps]

[Thinking] are we ok?

Yes.

But aster's little maneuver

Was quite unexpected.

Perhaps he is the one our brother needs.

Let us see for certain.

I'll take control!

Just watch!

I sacrifice my silver spirit

To summon a new spirit...

My magic mirror spirit nayuta!

[Thinking] time to put jaden to the test.

All right...

Let's find your breaking point!

Attack jaden directly!

[Screams]

Both: hang in there, jay!

[Gasping]

All right, I've had enough!

And guess what?!

It's payback time!

I'll start by playing pot of greed!

So now I get to draw two more cards!

Sweet!

Next, I play polymerization...

Which lets me merge wildheart

And necroshade to form...

Elemental hero necroid shaman!

And thanks to my shaman's special ability...

I can send your mirror spirit to the graveyard

And replace it with the much weaker

Silver spirit ukyo!

You seem to have overlooked a small detail.

That's right.

When ukyo is summoned, sakyo comes back!

Aster: hey, jaden.

Mind telling me what were you thinking?

Now the bobbsey twins can use their mirror again!

I, uh...

Gotta get back to ya on that!

What's your strategy?!

Uh, attack first, ask questions later?

Well, now what?!

Now, I'm gonna make up for my mistake!

'Cause with my necroshade in the graveyard...

I'm allowed to summon another hero--

Like my bladedge!

But if I attack with bladedge now...

Their mirror bind will destroy

Two more of our monsters!

I gotta find a way to attack

Without their trap affecting me!

Because if she wins...

Well, one of us gets brainwashed

And the other gets trapped here!

That's it!

My de-fusion!

I play the spell card de-fusion!

And I'll use it on my shaman...

Separating it into wildheart and necroshade!

More monsters?

All the more fun for us to destroy!

Not quite!

My wildheart is immune to all your trap cards;

And that includes your mirror bind!

It can't be!

Hey, nice move, for once!

Let's do this!

Wildheart, attack her sakyo!

Wild slash!

[Grunts]

Aw, what a shame!

'Cause now...

Without sakyo, mirror bind's broken!

Now you're wide open!

Necroshade, direct attack!

Huh?!

[Screams]

Bladedge!

Now it's your turn, bro!

Destroy her, ukyo!

[Thinking] a very impressive attack.

Perhaps we underestimated him.

Yes.

Could it be that jaden

Is the chosen duelist we seek?

Time to find out!

All I need to do is lay down two cards.

That's your turn?!

Whatever.

I think I'll be taking two more cards!

Courtesy of my pot of greed spell!

Then I'll sacrifice this...

My fear monger...

In order to summon destiny hero double dude!

And just like his name suggests,

He can attack twice!

[Growls] just watch!

Double dude...

Attack sarina directly!

That's what you think, aster!

But I sacrifice mirror bind...

So I can activate this--

Soul mirror--

Which allows me to summon

Silver spirit sakyo!

And now, thanks to his special effect,

I get to summon ukyo as well!

Come on, not again!

[Thinking] all right.

It's time to break-up her deadly duo!

I activate my trap: d-chain!

And add it to my double dude!

Now, attack her sakyo,

Chain of repent!

And if you think that's all,

Think again!

Whenever a monster's destroyed by my d-chain...

My opponent takes life points of damage!

[Grunts]

Aster: and for round two, attack her ukyo!

So, now...

You lose more points!

[Grunts]

Way to go, bro!

That's teamwork!

Right, aster?

Look, we're not a team!

You got that?

Sarina, thinking: aster has proven to be quite an opponent.

But jaden has potential as well.

It is time for the ultimate test!

Fun's over!

I activate my trap!

It's buried soul talisman,

And here's how it works:

I get to play a level- monster!

That's because two of mine

Went to the graveyard!

And, as a bonus...

The monster that did the damage

Is also destroyed!

[Groans]

I'm not done!

'Cause next...

I summon another spirit--

My asogi!

And when this monster's successfully summoned...

You're out of luck

Because I can bring back

A familiar face!

Her again?!

It just never ends!

Soon I'm gonna need an oil change!

We gotta break this cycle!

Hey, what happened to the moon?

I'll lay this facedown.

And I guess that's all.

Aster?

What's wrong?

You don't sound like yourself.

Look.

The moon is gone.

Ok. So what?

Are you uh...

Werewolf?

[Gasps]

Look down!

[Gasps]

You want to tell us what's going on?!

Sarina: the true test is just beginning!

You see for each monster destroyed...

Our full moon mirror has grown in strength.

And since we've lost ...

It's finally ready!

Ready to crush you!

[Gasps]

Let the judgment commence!
