==Summary==
Jaden [[Normal Summon|Summons]] "[[Elemental Hero Woodsman (manga)|Elemental Hero Woodsman]]" in [[Defense Position]] and activates "[[Oil]]", letting him return the [[FIRE]]-[[attribute]] "[[Elemental Hero Lady Heat (manga)|Elemental Hero Lady Heat]]" in his [[Graveyard]] to his [[hand]]. Syrus believes he'll try to Summon "[[Elemental Hero Inferno (manga)|Elemental Hero Inferno]]", but realizes he does not have "[[Polymerization (manga)|Polymerization]]" in his hand, but believes he'll [[Draw a card|draw]] it next turn. Jaden and ends his turn, and Syrus Summons "[[Shuttleroid (manga)|Shuttleroid]]" in [[Attack Position]]. Jaden draws, and Syrus was correct - it's "Polymerization", which Jaden activates, fusing the "Lady Heat" and "[[Elemental Hero Heat (manga)|Elemental Hero Heat]]" in his hand to [[Fusion Summon]] "Elemental Hero Inferno". He attacks Syrus' "Shuttleroid", and Syrus activates its effect, allowing him [[Banish|remove]] it from play for two turns, and letting "Transformation" destroy "Inferno". Despite what's on the line, and Syrus' impressive strength, Jaden is now finally enjoying himself.
Syrus draws "[[Carrierroid (manga)|Carrierroid]]" and Summons it. He recalled that Jaden asked him why he refers to him as "big brother", despite having a real big brother. Syrus thinks that it's because his real brother taught him to duel, and due to Jaden's skill, he reminds him of Zane. Jaden activates "[[Mystical Space Typhoon (manga)|Mystical Space Typhoon]]" to desroy "Transformation", but Syrus activates the effect of "Carrierroid", which lets him [[discard]] a card to remove "Transformation" from play for two turns, yet keep its effect active. Jaden ends his turn, and "Shuttleroid" returns to the [[field]], its effect inflicting Jaden 1000 points of damage. Syrus reveals that he may treat his three monsters as [[Spell Cards]] and Special Summon "[[Armoroid (manga)|Armoroid]]" from his [[Fusion Deck]], while [[equip]]ping it with its own [[Fusion Material Monsters]]s. He attacks and destroys "Woodsman" and "Armoroid's" effect activates, dealing half of its attack points as damage.
Jaden is shocked that he's about to lose, but knows that losing his Deck is not an option, because of who gave him the Deck to begin with. He plays "[[Pot of Greed (manga)|Pot of Greed]]", drawing two cards. He Summons "[[Elemental Hero Voltic (manga)|Elemental Hero Voltic]]", equipping it with "[[Voltic Spear]]", which gives it a 1000 point attack boost. He then activates "[[Hero Solidarity]]", removing two "[[Elemental HERO|Elemental Heroes]]" in his Graveyard from play and letting him destroy two Spell or [[Trap Cards]]. He chooses two of "Armoroid's" equipped monsters, and its attack reduces to 1500 as a result. "Voltic" attacks and destroys "Armoroid", with the former's effect placing all removed from play cards into the Graveyard - including "Transformation", so Syrus takes damage via its effect, and Jaden wins the duel.
<u>'''Jaden's turn'''</u><br />
Jaden activates "[[Pot of Greed (manga)|Pot of Greed]]", drawing two cards - "[[Hero Solidarity]]" and "[[Elemental Hero Voltic (manga)|Elemental Hero Voltic]]". He Normal Summons "Elemental Hero Voltic" (1000/1600) in Attack Position and equips it with "[[Voltic Spear]]", increasing its ATK by 1000, to 2000. He then activates "Hero Solidarity", removing the two "[[Elemental HERO|Elemental Heroes]]" in his Graveyard from play, and destroying one of Syrus' Spell or [[Trap Cards]] for each one removed. With two of its equipped [[Fusion Material Monsters]] s destroyed, the ATK of "Armoroid" is decreased by 1200, to 1500. Jaden attacks and destroys "Armoroid" with "Voltic", with the latter's effect activating, placing all currently removed from play cards in the Graveyard. As "Mystical Space Typhoon" is free from the effect of "Carrierroid", its effect resolves, destroying "Transformation", which deals all the damage it [[negate]]d to Syrus' Life Points (Syrus: 3400 → 0).
