The duel between Jaden and Brron is continued. After seeing Chazz die after he attacked, Jaden is forced to play defensively. In a sadistic swoop, Brron forces Jaden to attack with a combination of
Darkness Half and
Dark Tournament, allowing him to sacrifice Hassleberry, Alexis, and Atticus. Near victory, Brron attempts to use the
Super Fusion card that he sacrificed the others in order to wield, but finds out that he needed to sacrifice one other: Syrus, who possesses the "Orb of Doubt". As his attempt failed, Brron summons
Reign-Beaux, Overlord of Dark World and continues to mock Jaden's efforts. Finally, pushed to the edge by Brron's mockery and his perpetually downward descent, Jaden defeats Brron in a fit of rage. After seeing Jaden in that state, Syrus reaches his boiling point where he lashes out at Jaden by pointing out where his selfishness has gotten him. As Syrus and later, Jim and Axel, abandon him, Jaden is left to mope by himself. During this time of depression, a figure calling itself
Haou the Supreme King appears to Jaden and tempts him to become evil with the incomplete
Super Fusion card.
