Summary

 | This summary is currently incomplete. |
Atticus confronts Yusuke in the Abandoned Dorm. Fujiwara asks Atticus what he's done to Fujiwara, as if Fujiwara is separate person. Atticus denies knowing, and Fujiwara's eyes glow red. Before he can harm Atticus, Axel arrives and throws a gas grenade, allowing him to get Atticus to safety. Atticus is rendered unconscious, and ends up in the infirmary. Here, Axel meets up with Alexis and Jaden, revealing to them that he was hired by Maximillion Pegasus of Industrial Illusions to investigate the cards that do not function properly with Duel Disks anymore. He states that he believes it's the island itself causing the phenomenon, and that Yusuke Fujiwara is the key to the incident.
Axel reveals that after Kagemaru was stopped by Jaden, he released all the scholarship students that had been used in the experiment for testing purposes. The only one who didn't return was Yusuke Fujiwara. Prior to his disappearance, Fujiwara was in the same year as Atticus and Zane, and the three were regarded as the best Duelists and students at Duel Academy. There were also rumors that Fujiwara had his own independent project, and Jaden realizes it must have been research into Nightshroud. Knowing that Atticus himself was once possessed by Nightshroud's dark powers, Jaden attempts to wake him up and question him. Alexis tells him to stop, but Jaden is insistent and continues to ask Atticus. This earns him a slap from Alexis. She states that Hassleberry was right - Jaden truly has changed. Jaden responds that there are times that you cannot turn back - even if you want to. Jaden then leaves the infirmary.
A bit later, Alexis is shown inserting flowers into a glass vase and remembering what Jaden told her earlier. She then takes the vase of flowers to the infirmary, questioning herself what has happened to make Jaden act so different. When Alexis enters the infirmary, she finds Atticus missing. She then drops the vase of flowers she was holding, causing it to break. Alexis then rushes over to where her brother was originally resting and looks around the infirmary for a clue on who took Atticus out of the infirmary.
At the Slifer Red dorm, Jaden interrogates the spirit of Professor Banner, trapping the spirit in a drawstring pouch and threatening to flush him the down the toilet. As Banner was involved in Kagemaru's plans, he wants to know any information Banner has. Banner claims that Atticus already had Nightshroud's powers - they did not give them to him. Outside, Atticus is slumped on the stairs, having left the infirmary without informing anyone. He tells Jaden to take him to the Abandoned Dorm. Upon arriving, Atticus says he can't remember what transpired in this building. Alexis, Hassleberry, Syrus and Chazz track them there and question what Jaden is doing. Jaden claims a new threat will arrive soon, and that Atticus holds the answers to it - though he does not remember them. Atticus tells Jaden to Duel him, hoping that using Nightshroud's signature card in this specific area will trigger the memories. Atticus takes out the Nightshroud card, and the dark aura seeps from it, transforming into the mask. Atticus claims that one of two things will happen - he will recover his memories during the Duel, or Nightshroud will again possess him, as he did during his Duel with Zane.
Atticus gains an early lead with "Inferno Fire Blast". After Jaden's successful counterattack, some of his memories begin to return. He recalls standing in the Abandoned Dorm, and Fujiwara, not himself wearing the Nightshroud mask, claiming to have found "the ultimate power". Atticus fights to maintain control of his body and not succumb to Nightshroud once more. Atticus Summons "Red-Eyes Darkness Metal Dragon". When Jaden activates "Common Soul", Atticus accurately surmises Jaden's strategy - he aimed to use "Contact Soul" to Summon "Neo-Spacian Grand Mole", allowing him to return "Red-Eyes Darkness Metal Dragon" to his hand and attack directly with "Elemental Hero Neos". The effect of "Red-Eyes Darkness Metal Dragon" then negates this. However, Jaden's backup strategy prevails and he wins the Duel. The mask of Nightshroud then turns back into the Nightshroud card while the darkness that was affecting Atticus dissipates away from his body. Alexis, Chazz, Syrus, and Hassleberry rush over to Atticus and check to make sure he is okay. Jaden then runs over to where the group is, but Alexis screams at him to not come any closer as she thinks Jaden was responsible for putting her brother through all this. Atticus however reveals that he willingly wanted to do this to his sister's shock.
Through the Duel, Atticus remembers everything. He reveals that Yusuke Fujiwara had had far greater talent at Dueling than himself, or even Zane. However, his passion for Dueling led him abnormal research. Discovering the powers of the "World of Darkness", Fujiwara was willing to sacrifice his own soul, as long as it meant gaining power, as it would also mean gaining eternal life. His hand bleeding, he allows the blood to drip onto an stone circle on the ground. The dark powers activate, and Fujiwara and Atticus are both pulled into a floating abyss. Fujiwara apologizes for involving Atticus, and gives him the Nightshroud mask he had been wearing, stating he no longer needs it. Atticus never donned the mask himself until he pulled into another dimension as part of Professor Banner's test. He used the powers to survive in that world, alluding to his defeat of Gravekeeper's Chief and obtaining his half of the Shadow Charm pendant. Atticus states Fujiwara was consumed by Nightshroud's power and died. A voice says that is not true. Fujiwara himself appers. Jaden claims he is a fake, while Fujiwara states that Atticus "abandoned his master". Jaden holds up "Honest" and urges him to reveal his true identity as the Fujiwara's former Spirit Partner.

TriviaEdit
- Despite the circumstances, Hassleberry shows delight at seeing the legendary "Red-Eyes Black Dragon" (since he was not present during either of the previous times Atticus summoned it). this is possibly a reference to Rex Raptor, a well known Dino Duelist who used Red-Eyes many years before.
- The effect of "Magic-Reflection Armor - Metal Plus" protects the equipped monster from magic cards, much like the effect of "Magic Metal Force" (the original version of "Metalmorph"), which was used to transform the original Red-Eyes into "Red-Eyes Black Metal Dragon".

- ↑ In the TCG/OCG, the Effect Damage of "Neos Force" is resolved in the Graveyard, not on the field.
- ↑ In the TCG/OCG, "Red-Eyes Darkness Metal Dragon" has different effects: It can be Special Summoned by banishing a Dragon-Type monster you control, and allows you to Special Summon another Dragon from your hand or Graveyard, once per turn.
