==Summary==
[[Midori Hibiki]] continues her duel with [[Reggie MacKenzie]]. Midori opts to prolong the [[Shadow Game]] and attempt to get Reggie to reveal more information about [[Koyo Hibiki|Koyo]]'s condition. Due to this, Reggie is able to mount a comeback with "[[Splendid Venus|The Splendid Venus]]. Reggie claims to have placed "[[Angelic Mercy]]" face down and if Midori attacks, she would activate it to switch the target to "[[Zeriel]]" which would cause her to lose. Midori ends her turn, prolonging the duel further.

[[Reggie MacKenzie]] has Summoned "[[Splendid Venus|The Splendid Venus]]" in her duel against [[Midori Hibiki]]. She explains that it was one of the [[Legendary Planets]], like [[David Rabb]]'s "[[The Big Saturn]]" and [[Jaden Yuki]]'s "[[Elemental Hero Terra Firma]]". Reggie claims it's now time to end Midori's "lesson" and [[destroy]]s "[[Darklord Edeh Arae]]" with "Venus", leaving Midori with 1500 [[Life Points]]. Reggie [[Set]]s a card and Midori begins her turn. She recalls Reggie stating that if she loses the duel, she may collapse just like David and [[Koyo Hibiki|Koyo]], and will thus be unable to tell Midori anything about Koyo's condition. Reggie claims her [[face-down]] card is "[[Angelic Mercy]]", which would allow her to change the attack [[target]] when a [[Fairy]]-[[Type]] [[Monster Cards|monster]] is attacked. If "Venus" was attacked, Reggie would switch the target to "[[Zeriel]]", which would result in her loss. Midori Sets a card, prolonging the duel in an attempt to find out more about Koyo's condition.
  
[[Jaden Yuki]] arrives at the [[Abandoned Dorm]] to witness the rest of the duel, after being lead there by [[Winged Kuriboh (character)|Winged Kuriboh]]. Reggie claims after Midori's defeat, she will duel Jaden in a Shadow Game. This is enough to stir Midori to attempt to win, as she does not wish for Jaden to experience the pain she feels now, or end up in Koyo's condition.

Reggie knows she needs to hurry and finish the duel before Midori regains her wits. She [[activate]]s "[[Angel Sing]]", increasing the [[ATK]] of "Venus" by 300 for each Fairy-Type monster she [[control]]s, thus resulting in 3400 ATK. "Venus" destroys "[[Darklord Superbia]]", reducing Midori to 1000 Life Points. Midori realizes that if she keeps this up, Reggie will defeat her. Reggie is still confident that Midori is shaken enough by the "chains of Koyo" not to attack. She Summons "[[Darklord Ukoback]]" in [[Defense Position]], also switching "[[Darklord Asmodeus]]" to Defense Position. Reggie knows that when humans are backed into a corner, they rely on instincts in order to preserve their own lives. She realizes that if she pushes too much, the "chains of Koyo" will break, and Midori will fight. Reggie [[equip]]s "Zeriel" with "[[Angel Bow]]", which will let it attack [[Direct attack|directly]] if Midori controls only Defense Position monsters.
  
Midori summons "[[Darklord Desire]]", but it ends up being too little, too late. Reggie reveals that her face-down card was not "[[Angelic Mercy]]", but "[[Angel Tear]]". This allows her to [[Removed from play|remove]] four of her [[Fairy]]-[[Type]] monsters from her [[Graveyard]] to summon another from her [[Graveyard]]. She summons "[[Splendid Venus|The Splendid Venus]]", defeating Midori.

[[Winged Kuriboh (character)|Winged Kuriboh]] is still leading Jaden through the [[Abandoned Dorm]], leaving the latter perplexed. Reggie orders "Venus" to destroy "Asmodeus", while "Zeriel" attacks directly, leaving Midori with 700 Life Points. Jaden finally makes it their location, and realizes he's witnessing another [[Shadow Duel]]. Reggie clarifies that Jaden will be up next after Midori loses. This spurs Midori to continue, determined to protect Jaden, remembering when she offered to be Jaden's big sister as he had no siblings of his own. Midori activates her face-down "[[Angel Fallen into Darkness]]", [[Tribute|Tributing]] "Ukoback" to [[Special Summon]] "[[Darklord Desire]]". She activates its effect, reducing its ATK by 2000 to destroy both of Reggie's monsters. Knowing that this means that "Angelic Mercy" cannot be used, she attacks

Summary

Reggie MacKenzie has Summoned "The Splendid Venus" in her duel against Midori Hibiki. She explains that it was one of the Legendary Planets, like David Rabb's "The Big Saturn" and Jaden Yuki's "Elemental Hero Terra Firma". Reggie claims it's now time to end Midori's "lesson" and destroys "Darklord Edeh Arae" with "Venus", leaving Midori with 1500 Life Points. Reggie Sets a card and Midori begins her turn.
