As his group explores Professor Viper's headquarters, Jaden is forced into a Duel with Mr. Stein, who insists that Jaden is slowly destroying the aspirations of other students.

SummaryEdit

This summary is currently incomplete.

Mr. Stein is introduced, teaching a lesson in an empty classroom (in the dub he is taking attendance in a parody of Ben Stein's role in Ferris Bueller's Day Off). He states he is retiring and wishes to get revenge on his students. Meanwhile, all the students injured by the Survival Duels could not fit in the infirmary, and those that can't end up in sleeping bags on the floor of the gym. Jaden, angered by the recent events, goes to find Crowler and Boneparte, but only to discover Sheppard is away leaving them in charge. Neither have a clue what to do to stop Viper. Jaden explains that the Bio Bands have been draining energy from everyone, and Jesse adds there doesn't seem a way of removing them (he adds the only option would be to cut his hand off). They decide to visit Adrian, who has just woken, hoping he may have more information.

At Professor Viper's lab, Axel is trying to escape, after having previously been trapped in a hidden room beneath a trap door. Viper states that Axel's role is finished. At the Blue Dorm, Adrian speaks to Echo via telephone and later gathers Jaden, Jesse, Syrus, Hassleberry, Alexis and Jim, and points them in the direction of Viper's lab in the forest. Though he appears to be on their side, he uses them to serve as a distraction to ease his own infiltration of the lab.

When Viper sees them coming, he simply opens the door for them, as he is luring them into a trap. He declares that the stage is nearly set for "its" revival, and looks at the lava lamp-like object, in which a single bloodshot eye opens. After searching the entirety of the building, Jaden's group come to an elevator that will take them to the basement. Jim's device reads high levels of electromagnetic waves coming from below, so they conclude Viper must be there. Jesse takes charge as leader, and reminds them Viper will probably have set traps so to be wary at all times. As they descend, they come across a vast jungle hidden beneath the building, an artificial environment that was left over from when the lab was abandoned by the scientists who altered Wheeler.

The group splits up, with Jaden, Syrus and Jesse heading one direction and Jim, Hassleberry and Alexis another. They decide to return to the elevator if they find anything. Adrian, dressed in a black outfit complete with spy equipment, successfully infiltrates the lab and begins hacking a control panel. This shuts off the lights in the jungle area and shuts off all of Viper's monitors save for the one monitoring the jungle. In this way, Viper is focused on Jaden's group, and isn't even aware Adrian is in the building.

Jim, Hassleberry and Alexis are attacked by a tiger. Jim tells the others to run, and sends Shirley to fight off the tiger. As she's running, Alexis falls through a trap door. Elsewhere in the jungle, Jaden, who has got separated from Syrus and Jesse in the pandemonium, meets up with Mr. Stein, who offers to lead him to Viper, stating he's familiar with the area. They arrive outside Viper's door, but it won't open. Stein states it will remain locked unless Jaden Duels him and wins. Stein reveals he, too, is wearing a Bio Band. Stein reveals that he blames Jaden for influencing other students to follow his example of sleeping in class and not studying, and that he thus ruined Stein's own life, as teaching was all the latter had left.

The Duel begins, and Stein is able to take control of Jaden's monsters using the effect of his "Scab Scar-Knight" monster. In addition, effects that increase Life Points are negated.
