Previously on Yu-Gi-Oh! Duelist Showdown! Nick said, "I have seven coins, and you need seven coins as well. I win, and you give me 7 of yours. Winner takes all?" Chris said, "Deal." Chris said, "I activate Card Destruction. Now, both players must discard these hands and start over with a clean slate. Say farewell to the cards in your hand, Nick." Nick said, 'First, I'll sacrifice both my remaining tokens and summon Prince Adam (2500/1200).' Now I'll activate my duel armor and become the prince." Nick then activated his duel armor, merged with Prince Adam, and his clothing appeared on Nick, and his sword appeared in his hand. Nick said, "Now I'll attack your Gravekeeper's Heretic with my sword." Nick then destroyed Gravekeeper's Heretic, and Chris lost 700 Life Points, bringing him down to 6300. Nick said, "We're almost even." Nick said, "Tyler, the Palace Guard, finish him." Tyler then attacked Chris directly, and he lost 1,500 Life Points, bringing him down to 0. Since they've been dueling a lot today, they decided to take a lunch break at the nearest restaurant.
After lunch, a couple of twins were spying on Joseph, Frank, and Nick and were wondering if they'd like to duel. They saw them headed their way, so they jumped ahead of them and simultaneously said, "Hello, losers." Frank said, "Who are you calling losers?" Rose said, "Our next dueling opponents." Rose and Maggie then activated their duel disks. Maggie said, "What do you say?" Frank said, "I'll duel you?" Rosse pointed at Nick and said, "And so will he." Nick pointed at himself and said, "Me?" Maggie said, "Yes, you." Frank and Nick stepped forward and activated their duel disks. Rose said, "Ok, here's how it works. It will be a double duel. Us against you two. Winners get the waggered coins and the losers get nothing." Maggie said, "You can use the cars you have to defend your partner, but since they're your cards, your opponent can't control them; only you can." Rose said, "Now it's time to wager your coins." Nick said, "I wager two." Frank said, "And I wager five." Maggie said, "Seven it is." All four of them tossed their coins out and piled them up. Rose said, "Now draw your cards and let's get started." All their Life Points started at 4000, and they each drew their first five cards. Frank drew Space Villain-Delilah, Cold Wave, Super Villain-Techno, Super Villain-Professor Program, and Techville. Rose drew Despair from the Dark, Infernalvania, Premature Burial, The Cursed Twin Dolls, and Armored Zombie. Nick drew Kitty, the Princess's Horse, Tom, the Good Soldier, Max, the Palace Guard, Sam, the Palace Guard, and Princess's Singing Voice. Maggie drew Despair from the Dark, Premature Burial, Spiritual Message A, Dark Necrofear, and The Portrait's Secret.
Frank drew Deise, the Secret Identity of Super Hunter, from his deck and said, "The first turn is mine." Frank looked at his cards, including the one he just drew, and said, "Sweet. I summon Space Villain-Delilah (1700/1200) in Attack Mode. That ends my turn." Rose said, "And starts mine." Rose drew Spiritual Message N and said, "I summon Armored Zombie (1500/0) in Attack Mode. Next, I play The Cursed Twin Dolls. This magic card lets me challenge you, Frank. Since you're the only one who has dueled so far."
Two dolls, each holding a box, appeared on the field. One was holding a red box, the other was holding a black box. Rose said, "Now, inside one of these boxes is a curse. The other is a gift. Select the correct box and you'll receive the gift. Choose the wrong box and you get the curse. The other box will go to me." Nick said, "Choose wisely, Frank." Frank pointed at the red box and said, "I select the red box." The red box opened, and an energy beam came directly for Frank's graveyard." Rose said, "Looks like you chose the curse. Which means the black box had the gift, and that gift will be mine. Now every time we send a card to the graveyard, I'll gain 200 more Life Points. And as for you, Frank. Your graveyard is now destroyed. Which means you won't have a graveyard for this duel." Joseph said, "How can he duel with no graveyard?" Rose said, "You'll see. And even if your Space Villain-Delilah destroys my Armored Zombie, it won't affect my Life Points, because I'll first lose 200 and then get them back when I send my zombie to the graveyard." Frank growled and clenched both his fists because Rose put him at a disadvantage after just one round. Rose said, "Ok, now, I'll send my dolls to the graveyard and get 200 more Life Points." Rose then gained 200 more Life Points, bringing her total to 4200. Frank thought, "Great. The duel has just started, and I'm already at a huge disadvantage, and they have the lead. Let's hope Nick can pull a winner out of his hat."
Nick drew Secret Door from his deck and said, "Sweet. I'll lay this card face down. Now I summon Max, the Palace Guard (1600/500) in Attack Mode. That ends my turn." Maggie drew Vampire Lord from her deck and said, "I play one monster face down in defense mode and end my turn." Frank drew Goo Puddle from his deck and said, "Not bad. I'll lay this face down. Next, I'll sacrifice Space Villain-Delilah and summon Super Villain-Techno (2200/1300). And since I have no graveyard, your Life Points won't increase. Now I'll have Techno attack your Armored Zombie." Super Villain-Techno then destroyed Armored Zombie, and Rose lost 500 Life Points, bringing her down to 3500. Rose said, "Now that you've sent my zombie to the graveyard, I get 200 more Life Points." Rose then gained 200 more Life Points, bringing her up to 3700. Frank said, "I end my turn. But we just took the lead."
Rose drew Spiritual Message A from her deck and said, "I'll now play Infernalvania. This card will destroy all monsters on the field." Joseph said, "That's true. But don't forget that using Infernalvania, you can't summon any other monsters for the remainder of the duel." Rose said, "That's true. But I have a card that can change that. And since Nick and Maggie both sent monsters to their graveyards, I get 400 more Life Points." Then Rose got 400 more Life Points, bringing her up to 4100. Rose said, "I know play Premature Burial. This magic card costs my 800 Life Points, but since my Life Points are increasing, it's a price I'm willing to pay to bring back Armored Zombie (1500/0). And since I summoned him using a magic card, I can keep Infernalvania in effect." Rose then lost 800 Life Points, bringing her down to 3300. Now, my zombie, attack Nick directly." The Armored Zombie then attacked Nick directly, and he screamed in response. Then Nick lost 1,500 Life Points, bringing him down to 2,500. Rose said, "I end my turn."
Nick drew Monster Reborn from his deck and thought, "Monster Reborn should help." Nick said, "I activate Monster Reborn and bring back Max, the Palace Guard (1600/500). Now I summon Tom, the Good Soldier (1800/1400). Now, my monsters, attack Maggie directly!" Rose said, "Armored Zombie, defend!" The Armored Zombie then stood ahead of Maggie and Max. The Palace Guard destroyed it, and Rose gained 500 Life Points, bringing her up to 3800. Nick said, "Wait. How did you get stronger after your monster got destroyed?" Rose said, "Simple. I started with 3300 Life Points. Then you played Monster Reborn and sent it to the graveyard, giving me 200 more Life Points, for a total of 3500. Then, when your warrior destroyed my zombie, I lost 100 Life Points, dropping me to 3400, but when I sent it and my Premature Burial card to the graveyard, I got 400 more Life Points, bringing me up to 3800." Nick said, Big deal. I can still slash you with my other monster. So, Tom, the Good Soldier, attacked Rose directly." Tom then slashed Rose, and Rose lost 1800 Life Points, bringing her down to 2000. Nick said, "Maybe that will teach you." Rose said, "You'll pay for that, and my partner will help."
Maggie drew Goblin Zombie from her deck and said, "I summon Goblin Zombie (1100/1050) and I'll use him to attack your partner, Frank, directly. So, attack!" Goblin Zombie then socked Frank, and he lost 1100 Life Points, bringing him down to 2900. Maggie said, "I believe that puts us in the lead now." Joseph said, "She's right. They have a total of 6,000 Life Points, while you two now have a total of 5,400 Life Points. Rose said, "See, even your friend agrees with us. You two are going down, and we two are going to the top." Rose and Maggie both laughed while Frank and Nick were struggling in the duel.
