His eyes briefly glow blue, and a strong wind comes through his window, blowing his cards onto the ground. He goes to pick them up and his "[[Gigobyte]]" card turns black. [[Trueman]] appears before him and informs him that his grief, anger and pain has tainted the card. He recommends that Tsutomu accept the darkness in his heart - in this way, he'll become stronger. Trueman disappears, taking the form of the whirlwind of black cards again, and engulfs Tsutomu. His parents go to check on him, and Tsutomu tells them not to worry, but to follow him to the [[World of Darkness]]. |
At [[Duel Academy]], [[Chancellor Sheppard]] and [[Vellian Crowler|Dr. Crowler]] announce the start of the graduation Duels. Crowler explains that the third-year students' goal is to obtain one hundred points through Dueling. A loss earns one point. A win against a first-year student earns one point, a win against a second-year student earns two points and a win against a third-year student earns three points. Each student may only Duel the same opponent one time. Once you earn one hundred points, the last requirement for graduation is met. However, students may continue accumulating points past one hundred. The student with the most amount of the points at the end of the year will receive a replica of [[Yugi Muto]]'s Deck, provided by [[Industrial Illusions]]. | At [[Duel Academy]], [[Chancellor Sheppard]] and [[Vellian Crowler|Dr. Crowler]] announce the start of the graduation Duels.

A second-year [[Obelisk Blue]] student named [[Taigo Sorano]] challenges him, stating he's always dreamed of Dueling Jaden and informs him that the large group of second-year Obleisk Blue and [[Ra Yellow]] students behind him also wish to Duel him. At the Obelisk Blue dorm, [[Alexis Rhodes|Alexis]], [[Syrus Truesdale|Syrus]] and [[Chazz Princeton|Chazz]] find themselves similarly popular targets, as students crowd around, wishing to Duel them. [[Atticus Rhodes|Atticus]] is also attempting to find an opponent, and is then cornered by what appears to be the entirety of the girl's dorm, save Alexis, who all wish to Duel him. |

Sorano is playing a [[Horus Lockdown]] Deck, and Summoned "[[Horus the Black Flame Dragon LV8]]" by the end of his first turn. This card can negate the activation of [[Spell Card]]s, so Sorano believes that will prove to be the key victory, since much of Jaden's strategy revolves around "[[Polymerization]]". [[Axel Brodie|Axel]] is sitting a van in Domino City, several computer monitors around him detailing the residents of Domino. One by one, the names of the residents begin to vanish. He calls [[KaibaCorp]], but there is no answer, and it shows a list of employees on clipboard, which vanish one by vanish, leaving only [[Seto Kaiba]]'s name behind. The city appears completely empty save for Axel himself. |

Sorano then seals the effect of [[Trap Card]]s with "[[Royal Decree]]", and reduces Jaden to 1000 [[Life Points]]. He then activates "[[Sealer Formation]]" to add "Stop Defense" to his hand during his Draw Phase. He is happy and confident since on his next turn he'll finally defeat Jaden. Jaden however says that he has evolved his dueling since he first got to the academy. He then wins by using "[[Contact Out]]" to Special Summon "[[Elemental Hero Neos]]" and "[[Neo-Spacian Flare Scarab]]" after destroying "[[Horus the Black Flame Dragon LV8|Horus]]" with "[[Elemental Hero Flare Neos]]" via Contact Fusion (which does not use any Spell or Trap cards). After his loss, Sorano wanders through the forest, wondering how is calculations failed him. Because of his anger, his Deck turns black, and Trueman appears before him. Sorano questions who he is, and he responds that he was awakened from the darkness of Sorano's heart. He changes his form, now looking identical to Sorano himself, and states he'll need to get rid of the original. He activates his [[Duel Disk]]. |

Trueman defeats Sorano, attacking directly with "[[Dark Archetype]]" to win. The black birds swoop down on him. Jaden has a vision as his eyes change to the bichromatic style of [[Yubel (character)|Yubel]], and he sees Sorano and other students engulfed in blackness and asking for help. His next Duel is supposed to start, but Jaden tells them all they'll have to continue tomorrow, and calls [[Tyranno Hassleberry]] to follow him. The two run off. They arrive where Sorano was defeated by Trueman, and find a pile of black-tainted cards. Jaden receives a call from Axel, who informs him of the strange going-ons in Domino City, and requests Jaden join him there. Jaden tells Hassleberry to locate Sorano, and runs off towards the docks. On his way, he calls Chancellor Sheppard, telling him it's an emergency, and he's borrowing one of the school's speedboats. Axel sees Tsutomu and attempts to question him on what's happening as he's the only resident Axel has located. Tsumotu runs, and leads him into a trap. He's surrounded by what appear to clones of Tsutomu, and they merge into their true form - Trueman. |
