Jaden is sitting in class, attempting to rebuild his Deck, and is unable to decide what to take out. [[Alexis Rhodes]], [[Syrus Truesdale]], [[Bastion Misawa]] and [[Chumley Huffington]] approach him, and all ask him to put their cards into his Deck - "[[Etoile Cyber (anime)|Etoile Cyber]]", "[[Blade Skater (anime)|Blade Skater]]", "[[Power Bond (anime)|Power Bond]]", "[[Water Dragon (anime)|Water Dragon]]" and "[[Des Koala (anime)|Des Koala]]", respectively. He declines, but they will not leave him alone. He runs, and manages to lose them by rounding a corner. He wants to rebuild his Deck in peace, and ends up on Duel Academy's roof. However, he finds he's not alone, and meets a short student dressed in a tattered [[Obelisk Blue]] uniform and sandals, who introduces himself as [[Belowski]]. [[Winged Kuriboh (character)|Winged Kuriboh]] appears, and Belowski reveals that he can also see spirits. Belowski challenges him a Duel, stating he's always wanted to Duel someone that could see spirits. Jaden's friends arrive, while Crowler watches the Duel from atop one of the pillars, still dressed in his strange suit. The Duel begins, and Belowski Summons "[[Mokey Mokey (anime)|Mokey Mokey]]" in [[Defense Position]], and with all of Jaden's friends remark on remarking how cute it is, while Chumley yawns, beginning to feel sleepy. Belowski [[Set]]s two cards to end his turn. Jaden Summons "[[Elemental HERO Hero Sparkman(anime)|Elemental Hero HERO Sparkman]]" in [[Attack Position]] and then plays "[[Polymerization (anime)|Polymerization]]", [[Fusion Material|fusing ]] the "[[Elemental HERO Hero Avian(anime)|Elemental Hero HERO Avian]]" and "[[Elemental HERO Hero Burstinatrix(anime)|Elemental Hero HERO Burstinatrix]]" in his [[hand]] to [[Fusion Summon]] "[[Elemental HERO Hero Flame Wingman(anime)|Elemental Hero Flame Wingman]]" in Attack Position.

Jaden attacks with "Sparkman", [[destroy]]ing "Mokey Mokey". Belowski [[activate]]s his [[face-down]] "[[Human-Wave Tactics (anime)|Human-Wave Tactics]]", which will let him [[Special Summon]] the same number of [[Level]] 2 or lower [[Normal MonstersMonster]] s were destroyed during each turn during that turn's [[End Phase]]. Jaden attacks [[Direct attack|directly]] with "Flame Wingman", ending his turn. "Human-Wave Tactics" lets Belowski Special Summon "[[Happy Lover (anime)|Happy Lover]]" in Attack Position, and he then Summons another "Mokey Mokey" in Attack Position as well. He activates "[[Mokey Mokey Smackdown (anime)|Mokey Mokey Smackdown]]" and then attacks "Sparkman" with "Happy Lover", destroying his own monster. "Mokey Mokey" turns bright red, and Belowski explains that if a [[Fairy]]-[[type]] monster is [[Destroyed by battle|destroyed in battle]], "Mokey Mokey Smackdown" will raise the attack points [[ATK]] of all "Mokey Moke]s" on the [[Playing Field|Fieldfield]] to 3000 for the duration of the turn. "Mokey Mokey" destroys "Flame Wingman", and then Belowski activates "[[Mystik Wok (anime)|Mystic Wok]]", to [[Tribute|Tributing]] "Mokey Mokey" to and add its attack points ATK to his [[Life PointsLP]], thus recovering all the damage he had to take to set up his combo, and increasing his Life Points LP to 4100. He ends his turn, and "Human-Wave Tactics" lets him Special Summon "[[Haniwa (anime)|Haniwa]]" since "Happy Lover" was destroyed. Jaden's friends urge him to relax and stop fighting, and by this point, Chumley has been affected enough by Belowski's strange powers to fall unconscious.

Crowler reveals himself, jumping down from the pillar he was hiding on. He explains that three years ago, Belowski was Duel Academy's top Duelist, and a series of short flashbacks are shown to his previous Duels. Crowler explains that eventually, Belowski's opponents began to lose their motivation, and they all dropped out of the Academy. Belowski states he has no idea why it happens, but it always does after he uses "Mokey Mokey". In order to protect the Academy's students, Belowski was isolated within his own dorm, which included a virtual paradise. The Duel continues, and Jaden Summons "[[Elemental HERO Hero Wildheart(anime)|Elemental Hero HERO Wildheart]]", who he uses to destroy "Haniwa". "Sparkman" attacks directly, and Jaden Sets a card to end his turn. "Human-Wave Tactics" lets Belowski Summon another "Happy Lover" in Attack Position. Crowler questions why all of Jaden's motivation is still present, while his friends have all fallen asleep. Belowski ignores him, and plays "[[Pot of Greed (anime)|Pot of Greed]]", [[Draw a card|drawing]] two cards. He then plays "[[Dark Factory of Mass Production (anime)|Dark Factory of Mass Production]]", adding the two "Mokey Mokeys" in his [[Graveyard]] to his hand. He fuses them with the third "Mokey Mokey" in his hand using "[[Polymerization]]" to Fusion Summon "[[Mokey Mokey King (anime)|Mokey Mokey King]]", which appears floating next to the Academy, taking up an absurd amount of space. However, it still has only 300 attack pointsATK, but Belowski attacks "Wildheart" anyway. "Mokey Mokey King" is destroyed, but its effect Special Summons all three "Mokey Mokeys" from the Graveyard.

"Happy Lover" attacks "Wildheart", destroying itself, but this increases the attack points ATK of all three "Mokey Mokeys" to 3000 via "Mokey Mokey Smackdown". The first "Mokey Mokey" destroys "Wildheart", and Jaden protects "Sparkman" from the second "Mokey Mokey" by activating his face-down "[[Hero Barrier (anime)|Hero Barrier]]", [[Negate|negating]] the attack. The third "Mokey Mokey" attacks and destroys "Sparkman" afterwards. Belowski ends his turn, with "Human-Wave Tactics" letting him Summon another "Happy Lover" in Defense Position. He then activates his face-down "[[Gift of the The Mystical Elf (later anime)|Gift of The Mystical Elf]]", gaining 300 Life Points LP for each monster on the field, bringing him back up to 1800. Jaden Summons "[[Elemental HERO Hero Bubbleman(anime)|Elemental Hero HERO Bubbleman]]", drawing two cards. He then plays "[[Hero Heart (anime)|Hero Heart]]", which will let "Bubbleman" attack twice if Jaden halves his attack pointsits ATK. He uses the first attack on a "Mokey Mokey", which increases the attack points of the other two to 3000 via "Mokey Mokey Smackdown". Despite this, he attacks another "Mokey Mokey". He plays the [[Quick-Play Spell Card]] "[[Bubble Illusion (anime)|Bubble Illusion]]", which lets him activate a [[Trap Card]] from his hand when "Bubbleman" is on the field. He chooses "[[Mirror Gate (anime)|Mirror Gate]]", which switches control of the two battling monsters. "Mokey Mokey" destroys "Bubbleman" reducing Belowski's Life Points LP to 0. Belowski theorizes that his powers did not affect Jaden because he loves Dueling far too much. After this, Belowski falls alseep and Jaden attempts to wake up his friends by offering to use the cards they offered him earlier, but that fails.
