From a screen, Nakajima asks the President if this is a good idea. The President answers that he should let the Duel play out. Before the Duel, Silvio decides on the Action [[Field Spell Card]], the setting that "imprisons feeble princesses" (in the dub, Silvio hopes Yuya's friends aren't scared of heights, as he'll take them sky-high), "[[Prison Tower of Darkville]]". The [[Solid Vision]] machine conjures up chains that surround Zuzu and the children. Yuya yells at them to hang on, and the five hostages are confined to a tower surrounded by chains. As the dark city continues to manifest, Silvio asks Yuya if the princess should be imprisoned in the tower (in the dub, Silvio says it'd be a waste to have a prison tower without any prisoners). Yuya runs away from Silvio, jumping from building to building as he tries to make his way to his friends. Before he can get to them, a water canal and the tower's great height separates the two parties. As the tower continues to rise, Frederick asks what's going on. Tate explains that the still-materializing Solid Vision field is affecting them as well. Frederick yells this is too real until the tower reaches its highest point, as part of a bridge. Yuya runs to them, but Silvio catches him. He tells them that if he wants his friends back, they will Duel. Yuya accepts and activates his D-Pad. He adds "Block Spider" to his Deck and [[shuffle]]s it.
Silvio is satisfied that Yuya accepted the Duel (in the dub, Silvio says they will Duel until he learns what he needs to, then crush Yuya). He and his lackeys recite the Action Dueling chant (in the dub, the lackeys gloat that Silvio will show the Pendulum Summon after taking the Pendulum cards from Yuya, while Silvio expresses his desire for Yuya to teach him about Pendulum Summoning), and the two Duelists yell, "Duel!" Yuya decides to go first and runs past Silvio. He enters a building, runs upstairs, and [[Normal Summon]]s "Performapal Whip Snake", which coils itself around Yuya's wrist. Yuya approaches an open window and uses "Whip Snake" to anchor to another building and swing from it. After he lands on another rooftop, he ends his [[turn]]. Silvio starts his turn and [[Draw a card|draws]] "[[Lightning Hoverboard]]". "Timegazer Magician" is in his opening hand as well. He is about to activate it in a Pendulum Zone, but a voice from his D-Pad reminds him not to. Silvio demands who he is talking to because he felt this was the perfect time to activate the card, and the President repeats his order not to use the card yet. Silvio wonders why the President is being worked up over this (in the dub, Silvio agrees to follow the order; he will save "Timegazer Magician" for the final blow). Regardless, he heeds the order and Summons "Lightning BoardHoveroard". He hops on it and starts chasing after Yuya. As Yuya swings to another building, Silvio chides him for being desperate, but this is part of his plan, too (in the dub, Silvio tells Yuya he can't save his friends this way, but he will put them in greater danger instead). "Whip Snake" anchors itself to a bridge rope and Yuya swings from it. Yuya looks around the bridge until he spots an [[Action Card]] lying on the floor. When he picks it up, it turns out to be a [[Trap Card]]. Silvio contacts Yuya and confirms the card's name - "[[Break Shot]]". The card disappears from Yuya's hand and pool balls roll over Yuya and "Whip Snake". "Whip Snake' ends up being flattened, while Yuya gets caught running on one of the balls. Silvio explains that "Break Shot" decreases a [[Monster Card|monster's]] [[ATK]] by 900. The ATK of "Whip Snake" lowers to 800 before it recovers. Silvio chides Yuya again for his foolishness; not all Action Cards are meant to be helpful, as Traps are among them. He also warns Yuya that his friends are in even greater danger, too (in the dub, Silvio says Yuya made a beginner's mistake: Action Cards always come with risks and adds that the ball Yuya is rolling on doesn't have any brakes). Yuya crashes into a tower's wall, causing a tremor that is felt by his friends. Frederick falls and is about to slip off the tower, but Zuzu saves him by catching him by the legs. He panics because he was about to fall into the canal, while Zuzu, Ally, and Tate try to calm him down.
Yuya is disgusted by Silvio's underhanded tactics. Silvio declares the start of his [[Battle Phase]]. He attacks "Whip Snake" with "Lightning Hoverboard", declaring "[[Attack name|Lightning Darts]]!". "Lightning Hoverboard" shoots bolts of lightning at "Whip Snake" while Yuya runs looking for another Action Card. He manages to find and take another one on the bridge's railing, only to realize it's another Trap. Silvio calls it too bad, as he reveals the card is "[[Jump Shot]]", which decreases a monster's ATK by 400. A cue ball appears overhead and squishes "Whip Snake", reducing its ATK to 400. The lightning of "Lightning Hoverboard" [[destroy]]s "Whip Snake" and Yuya is down to 3000 [[LP]]. Silvio advises Yuya that if he's not careful, he'll get hurt. The cue ball is about to drop on Yuya, but he jumps out of the way in time. It bounces back up, then down again, and destroys part of the bridge. Silvio ends his turn (in the dub, Silvio considers taking down Yuya's friends, but holds off of it), musing that it won't be long before the tower Yuya's friends are on is destroyed, too.
<u>'''Turn 2: Silvio'''</u><br/>
[[Silvio]] [[draw a card|draws]] {{Monster|Lightning BoardHoverboard|pre=and subsequently Normal Summons it}}. Yuya finds and [[activate]]s an [[Action Card]], but it turns out to be the [[Trap Card]] "[[Break Shot]]", whose [[card effect|effect]] reduces the [[ATK]] of "Whip Snake" by 900 ("Whip Snake": 1700 → 800/900). "Lightning BoardHoverboard" [[attack]]s "Whip Snake". Yuya finds another Action Card, but it again turns out to be a Trap Card, "[[Jump Shot]]", which lowers the ATK of "Whip Snake" by 400 ("Whip Snake": 800 → 400/900). The attack continues and "Whip Snake" is [[destroy]]ed (Yuya: 4000 → 3000 [[LP]]).
<u>'''Turn 3: Yuya'''</u><br/>
<u>'''Turn 4: Silvio'''</u><br/>
Silvio draws "[[Tribute Trade]]" and subsequently activates it, letting him [[Tribute]] a [[Monster Card|monster]] to [[add a card|add]] a monster from his [[Main Deck|Deck]] to his hand that is one [[Level]] higher than the Tributed monster. He Tributes the Level 4 "Lightning BoardHoverboard" to add the Level 5 "Stargazer Magician". Silvio's hand contains "[[Breakthrough Skill]]", "[[Power Dart Striker]]", "[[Rocket Dart Striker]]", "[[Ultimate Dart Striker]]", "Timegazer Magician", and "Stargazer Magician". Silvio places {{Monster|Timegazer Magician|pendulum=left}} and {{Monster|Stargazer Magician|pendulum=right}} in his Pendulum Zones. Silvio Pendulum Summons {{Monster|Power Dart Striker|nolink=true}}, {{Monster|Rocket Dart Striker|nolink=true}}, and {{Monster|Ultimate Dart Striker|nolink=true}}, all from his hand in Attack Position.
