Night fell.
Under the dazzling neon lights.
This Duel City radiated vibrant life.
In the sky.
Giant projection facilities displayed the KaibaCorp logo.
The two massive letters "K.C." shone exceptionally brightly beneath the image of the Blue-Eyes White Dragon.
For this Duel City,
Night was when the excitement truly began.
Dark Duelists, active in the shadows, would typically appear at this time.
In the city's corners, engaging in "lose and die" Dark Duels.
...
Boom...
In a deserted corner of the street.
Accompanied by the sound of an explosion caused by Life Points reaching zero.
The man was thrown back a few steps by the impact, collapsing to one knee on the ground.
He clutched his chest, struggling to look at the man before him.
His face was filled with unknown terror.
"This... what is this...?"
"Dark Duels, could they really exist...?"
Before him, the man in black, wearing an iron mask, curled his lips into a cold smile.
He slowly raised his hand.
In his hand, the inverted triangular block, with its eye-like pattern, began to flash with dazzling light.
"Ugh... my consciousness, it's being taken away..."
The scenery before the man's eyes became increasingly blurry.
He knelt on the ground, cards falling from his hand, scattering across the ground.
"Accept the penalty for losing a Dark Duel..."
"Mind Crush!"
The man sneered coldly.
As his voice fell, an even more dazzling light instantly enveloped the other person.
When all the light receded,
The man lay on the ground, unconscious.
"Hehehe..." Walking over to the man, the black-clad figure picked up his deck. "I'll take all your rare cards."
"Bow down to the Dark Duel."
"Pffft."
Suddenly, a scoffing sound echoed from the side.
"Who's there?!"
The black-clad figure's heart jolted, and he quickly turned to look behind him.
He saw a young man leaning against a wall in a street corner, arms crossed.
He couldn't tell if it was his imagination.
In the darkness,
The young man's eyes seemed to emit an orange glow.
An invisible pressure made one's heart inexplicably tremble.
"I thought that the Dark Duelist, who's been causing such a stir lately, would be some formidable figure."
"Turns out, he's just a fake?"
"You, who are you?!" The black-clad figure's face changed, his expression instantly losing its composure.
He was actually seen through by this person with a single glance?
"Well, who am I?" The young man slowly stepped out from the shadows.
He raised his head, his handsome face bearing a faint calmness.
"Jaden Yuki."
Although the young man's voice was very calm,
When these four words reached the black-clad man's ears, he suddenly felt as if his heart had stopped.
"Ja-Jaden Yuki?"
The Duelist League Junior Division Champion, that genius boy who used [HEROes]?
Why was he here?
"Hmph, I have no grievance with you. Get lost! Don't interfere with me!"
The black-clad man knew he was no match for this young man.
His so-called Dark Duels were nothing more than a few tricks he himself had conjured up.
Gritting his teeth,
The black-clad man quickly tried to walk past Jaden Yuki.
However, just as they brushed past,
Jaden Yuki grabbed the black-clad man.
"You're Titan, the self-proclaimed Dark Duelist, the Duelist Hunter, right?"
Taking out his cell phone from his pocket, Jaden Yuki scrolled through the messages sent from Pegasus.
"Hmm... three years ago, you started defrauding people under the guise of Dark Duels."
"You used projection to hypnotize opponents, then seized the opportunity to steal their rare cards."
"In three years, you committed hundreds of crimes, and the rare cards you stole are countless."
Closing his phone, Jaden Yuki sighed.
"Trash like you should normally be handled by professionals."
"However, since you're a professional duelist after all, I'll just use you to replenish some energy for myself."
Titan's face changed. He violently shook off Jaden Yuki's hand and turned to flee.
"Hmph, trying to escape?"
An orange light flashed in Jaden Yuki's eyes.
The aura of the Supreme King instantly enveloped the entire area.
Titan, who was fleeing, suddenly felt as if there was an invisible wall in the air before him.
He desperately pounded on it, but found that no matter how hard he tried, the invisible barrier before him could not be broken through.
Could it be...?
Titan's heart clenched.
Four large words instantly appeared in his mind.
Dark Duel!
"How is this possible! How can Dark Duels really exist!" Titan screamed in collapse.
However, when he turned his head,
He saw Jaden Yuki, at this moment, already walking towards him step by step.
"Then, let the duel begin."
"I'll go first."
"I Normal Summon 'Elemental HERO Stratos'."
"According to Stratos's effect, I'll add one [HERO] card from my deck to my hand."
The summoning light effect of the monster flickered in the dark alley.
The muscular HERO, arms crossed over his chest, floated behind the young man.
His pale blue muscles, under the moonlight, radiated an unusual beauty.
"Then, I set three cards face-down and end my turn."
"What's wrong? It's your turn. Hurry up and draw a card."
Jaden Yuki's lips curved into a cold smile.
He walked step by step towards Titan, who had fallen to the ground in terror, almost wetting himself.
"You... don't come any closer!!!"
