Deeper into the sea under the moonlight is a gondola floating with many bats flying above. There is a casket on it. Then, the casket is open, and a vampire lady gets up from it. She has a shadow item around her neck, her her lip is very red. She starts smirking at the same time Judai is getting up in a medical room. He feels very frightened by his nightmare and gets up quickly. He also looks painful because of the previous duel against Darkness. Sho is sitting near his bed and asks him what happened. Judai says that he saw something in his dream. Aikawa teacher walks in once he wakes up. Judai asks his teacher about Asuka's brother. Aikawa teacher tells him that Fubuki is still losing his consciousness, but his life condition is safe. She says while looking at Fubuki sleeping on another bed with Asuka sitting beside him. On the other side, the vampire lady gives her order to let the bats start moving for her plan. She says that she won't fall into the same way that Darkness did.

At Duel Academia, the appearance of a beautiful lady at the lake becomes a big topic among students. They imagine her prettiness and sharp fangs. Undoubtedly, people guess that she must be a [vampire - kyuuketsuki]. The students are talking this rumor around everywhere. Some believes as some doesn't. At the office of the priciple, Manjyome is getting very surprised by the news of this vampire. Principle Sameshima is talking about the rumor with the 5 remaining key holders: him, Kaiser, Misawa, Daitokuji teacher, and Professor Chronos. Judai hasn't recovered yet while Asuka is taking care of her brother in the medical room. Daitokuji teacher feels very scared by this news, but Professor Chronos thinks that this rumor is stupid. He doesn't believe in the existance of the vampire at all. Misawa thinks in another way that this topic may involve the shadow duel. Kaiser notes that the next opponent may have already been landed on the island. Principle Sameshima doesn't know what is going on next. Anyway, he hopes people will become more careful at this moment.

After that, Manjyom, Misawa, and Kaiser are preparing their decks seriously for coming duel. However, they don't notice a bat watching and spying their movement. The bat later keeps its eyes on other people as well. On Professor Chronos' side, he is talking to himself in his office that he still doesn't belive in the shadow duel. Thus, he continues working without any preparation. Meanwhile, Daitokuji teacher seems to be crazy in his room. He is performing a Japanese traditional ritual to exorcise ghosts and keeping on saying [Revengeful Ghost! Disappear! - Onryou Taisan]. A lot of garlic is hung around according to the belief that vampires hate garlic. The bat doesn't understand either what he is doing. If finally flies away.

In the medical room, Asuka leaves her brother and asks Sho how Judai is. Sho says that Judai hasn't been got up since the first time when he did last night. He then asks her back about Asuka's brother. Asuka shakes her head to reply that Fubuki hasn't got up either. However, she is glad that he is safe. She is also certain that he will get up soon. Anyway, Asuka is wondering for how long this kind of duel is gonning last. People are talking without concern that the bat is watching them behind. The vampire lady is taking a bath in a tub. The bat then flies in and reports her what it saw. She saw every behavior of her opponents even their decks. Therefore, she is confident of her victory. Finally, her eyes stop at her target. She decides to choose Kaiser as her opponent and says that she has finally found her doll.

At night at Duel Academia, Manjyome tells Principle Samishima that everbody has already been ready. Suddenly, Hayato runs in and reports that the vampire has finally appeared at the lake. People are getting surprised and moving there. At the lake, a red carpet is sliding over the water surface to the shore where people are standing. Kaiser says that the vampire is calling them. Misawa is wondering what they should do. Kaiser thinks that they should accept the challenge, so Manjyome suggests one people go out. Meanwhile, Professor Chronos and Daitokuji teacher look very scared. They move themselves behind their students until there bottoms hit each other. Professor Chronos gets frightened until he jumps out into the front line. Their students misunderstand that their teacher volunteers to go, so they are impressed his braveness. Professor Chronos has realized that he can no longer step back. As a result, he tries to show his confidence on this job while he is, in fact, getting very scared. Later, Hayato runs into the medical room, reporting the crisis news that Professor Chronos is going to approach into the next shadow duel. Asuka thinks that he is going to push over himself on this dangerous duel. Judai then gets up by this news as Hane Kuriboh is appearing beside him with concern.

At the lake, people are waiting for the opponent to show up. Seeing Professor Chronos trembling, Manjyome asks whether he is going to be fine. Professor Chornos tells him that he is actually trembling with excitement or fighting spirit. Suddenly, the wind blows around as the vampire lady is appearing on her gondola with her bats. She greets people to the road of the reddish darkness while stepping down and walking through the red carpet. Having noticed Professor Chronos in the front line, she feels disappointed because her main target is actually Kaiser. She takes a look at Kaiser and says that she would like to change the opponent. Professor Chronos becomes confused and gets mad at her. He declares his name, Chronos De Mediz, and says that her opponent is nobody else but himself. As a result, the vampire lady accepts him and declares to begin the shadow duel. She inroduces herself officially that his opponent is one of the 7 stars named [Vampire Carmilla]. As people've expected before, she is actually a vampire. Professor Chronos asks her about the rule of this duel. Carmilla says that the winner will advance to the next road. Nevertheless, the loser will lose his or her soul in a doll. People especially Professor Chronos seem not to believe in this stupid story. He thinks that it is irrational. Carmilla says that he will understand well soon directly through the duel. When both of them are ready, the duel begins.

Antique Gear Soldier Monster Card

First turn is with Carmilla. He draws a card and then summons Immortal Werewolf in an attack position [Immortal Werewolf ~ Fushi No Werewolf - 4/1200/1200: If this card is destroyed in battle, search your deck for 1 of the same card and Special Summon it with its attack strength increased by 500]. Setting a face-down card, she ends her turn. Turn moves to Professor Chronos. Drawing a card, he plays a continuous magic card, Antique Gear Castle. A big and old castle then appears behind him [Antique Gear Castle - Continuous Magic: Increase the ATK of each face-up monster on the field that includes Antique Gear in its card name by 300 points. Each time a monster(s) is Normal Summoned or Set, put 1 counter on this card. If you Tribute Summon a monster that includes Antique Gear in its card name, you can substitute this card for a Tribute(s), if the number of counters is equal to or greater than the number of required Tribute(s)]. After that, he mornally summons Antique Gear Soldier in an attack position [Antique Gear Soldier - 4/1300/1300: When this card attacks, your opponent can't activate Magic and Trap cards until the end of the Damage Step]. Misawa points out the effect of Antique Gear Castle that all Antique-type monster can increase its attack points by 300 points. Thus, Antique Gear Soldier's attack points finally become 1600 (1300+300). Kaiser adds that Antique Gear Soldier also has the special effect to deactivate all trap or spell cards while attacking. That means Carmilla can't activate her face-down card as Antique Gear Soldier is attacking.

Professor Chronos declares the attack of Antique Gear Soldier against Immortal Werewolf. Therefore, Immortal Werewolf is destroyed, and Carmilla's LP goes down to 3600 (4000+1200-1600). Kaiser feels impressed by such a splendid attack of his teacher. Professor Chronos seems to be proud of himself because he always tries to do such a gorgeous battle. However, Carmilla tells him that she also has a splendid counterattack. At this moment, she declares the resurrection of Immortal Werewolf onto the field. Professor Chronoss seems to be surprised, so she thinks he has already forgotten that her monster has a special effect. When it is destroyed in battle, she can summon another monster with the same name from her deck onto the field. The monster's attack points will also increase by 500 points. Thus, Immortal Werewolf's attack points become 1700 (1200+500). Manjyome is wondering whether Professor Chronos hadn't known this ability before he attacked. Professor Chronos tries to make an excuse that this is a part of his plan. Setting a face-down card, he ends his turn.

Vampire Bat Monster Card

Turn is back to Carmilla. She draws a card and summons Vampire Bat in an attack mode. After that, she activates its special ability that can increase the attack points of all undead-type monsters on the field by 200. As a result, the attack points of Immortal Werewolf and Vampire Bat become 1900 (1700+200) and 1000 (800+200) respectively [Vampire Bat - 3/800: If this card is face-up on the Field, increase the attack strength of all Undead Sub-Type Monsters on your Field by 200. You can discard 1 Monster of the same name from your deck when this card is destroyed in order to keep this Monster on the Field]. Carmilla then declares the attack of Immortal Werewolf against Antique Gear Soldier. Thus, when Antique Gear Soldier is destroyed, his LP goes down to 3700 (4000+1600-1900). Carmilla tells him that the real fun is going to start from now on. She declares the next attack of Vampire Bat against him directly. Professor Chronos seems very painful by the bat army. He is wondering whether this is exactly the effect of the shadow game. He starts falling on to his knees as his LP reduces to 2700 (3700-1000). Kaiser looks very concerned by his teacher at this moment.

Sho is watching the duel through his PDA and seeing that Professor Chronos is in such a big trouble. Asuka thinks that people should have realized well by now about the real existance of the shadow duel. Judai seems not to sleep well and listens to what people are talking in the medical room. Turn back to the duel. Carmilla asks how Professor Chronos is feeling. Anyway, she doesn't enjoy this duel at all. Perhaps, the next opponent will understand well and make her feel better. Carmilla says while turning her face to people or perhaps spotting at Kaiser. She says that it isn't too late to change the player, and she is okey with it. Professor Chronos stops her to say such stupid things. He claims that Kaiser is his important student, so he won't let her lay fingers on him. He says seriously without any joke at all. Kaiser seems to be surprised a bit by his words. Professor Chronos further says that he is a like a supervisor responsible for Duel Academia programs, so he absolutely won't accept this shadow duel. Manjyome says out that Professor Chronoss is, in fact, very loose. Professor Chronos gets stuck and turns back to his students. He tells them not to be worried because he is going to destroy darkness by his light.

At this moment, he opens his face-down trap card, Damage Condenser [Damage Condenser - Trap: This card can only be activated when you receive Battle Damage and discard 1 card from your hand. Special Summon 1 Monster that can be Normal Summoned from your Deck to the Field with an ATK less than the Battle Damage received when this card was activated in face-up Attack Mode]. Due to its effect, he can summon a monster specially with less attack points than the damages he got in battle. Thus, Antique Gear Soldier is summoned specially from his deck onto the field; Antique Gear Soldier has the same 1300 attack points as the damages he got previously. This is the end of Carmilla's turn.

Antique Gear Beast Monster Card

It is now Professor Chronos' turn. He draws a card and gets Heavy Storm. After that, he sacrifices Antique Gear Soldier to summon Antique Gear Beast [Antique Gear Beast - 6/2000/2000: This card cannot be special summon. Negate the effect of the effect monsters this card destroy in battle. When this card attacks, your opponent cannot activate Magic/Trap until the end of Damage Step]. Again due to the effect of Antique Gear Castle, Antique Gear Beast's attack points go up to 2300 (2000+300). He is preparing for the attack of Antique Gear Beast against Immortal Werewolf. Manjyome interrupts and reminds him of the effect of Immortal Werewolf. If Professor Chronos attacks it, Immortal Werewolf with higher attack points is gonna be summoned again. Professor Chronos tells him not to be worried because the special effect of Antique Gear Beast can hold this problem. According to this special effect, it can negate all effects of monsters destroyed in battle. In other words, Immortal Werewolf can't be summoned again since its special effect is sealed. Misawa and Daitokuji teacher admire his smart idea. Professor Chronos then declares the attack of Antique Gear Beast against Immortal Werewolf. When it is destroyed, Carmilla's LP decreases to 3200 (3600+1900-2300). Professor Chronos declares that he has already destroyed the illusion of the shadow duel. Manjyome thinks that Professor Chronos seems not to accept its existance yet.

Immortal Kingdom Hellvania Magic Card

Next is Carmilla's turn. Drawing a card, she plays a magic card, Immortal Kingdom Hellvania, from her hand [Immortal Kingdom Hellvania ~ Fushi No Oukoku Hellvania - Field Magic: Each player can discard 1 Undead Sub-Type Monster from their hand in order to destroy all Monsters on the Field. If you use this effect, you cannot Normal Summon this turn]. Professor Chronos gets surprised, and he seemingly knows the effect of it. Carmilla explains that, under this field, she can discard an undead-type monster from her hand into the cemetery to destroy all monsters on the field. Manjyome notes that if Carmilla activates this effect, her monster will be also destroyed. Moreover, this field magic doesn't allow her to summon a monster in this turn after this effect is activated. Carmilla smirks and explains the special ability of Vampire Bat. When Vampire Bat is destroyed, she can discard a monster with the same name from her deck to keep this monster on the field. She also claims that it is an immortal monster.

Then, she sends Vampire Lord from her hand to the graveyard in order to activate the special effect of Immortal Kingdom Hellvania. As a result, all monsters on the field, Vampire Bat and Antique Gear Beast, are totally destroyed. After that, according to the effect of Vampire Batds, she discards anoter Vampire Bat in deck to the cemetery to get back Vampire Bat onto the field. At this moment, Vampire Bat attacks Professor Chronos directly. He is feeling the same pain from the shadow duel. He hopes that their students won't do the same mistake as he did, and then falls onto the ground. His LP reduces to 1700 (2700-1000). Kaiser becomes more frustrated. He thinks that he should have dueled against her at the first place. Carmilla suggests people change the player again since she feels very disappointed by Professor Chronos' play. At this moment, Judai argues her words while Hayato is carrying him to the lake. He steps down on the ground and hangs himself with Sho instead. Judai says that Professor Chronos is actually pretty strong. Professor Chronos opens his eyes and ears, trying to listen what drop-out Judai is saying. Judai claims that he has played with Professor Chronos before, so he realizes his strength very well. He tells Professor Chronos to get up and show his real turn.

Professor Chronos finally gets up and tells Carmilla that he won't be absolutely defeated by her shadow duel at all. In his view, the duel should bring light and desire to teenages not give them fear and darkness. People understand that he gives the reason why the shadow duel should existed. Drawing a card, he summons Antique Gear Golum in an attack position [Antique Gear Golum - 8/3000/3000: If this Monster attacks a Monster in defense mode with a lower defense strength than this Monsters attack strength, do Battle Damage to your opponent equal to the difference]. People are glad to see his greatest monster appearing on the field. Anyway, Sho is wondering why he could summon it without giving any tribute. Kaiser explains that it is because of the effect of Antique Gear Castle. When this field magic remains on the field for the same number of the turns that an Antique-type monster, which is Antique Gear Golum in this case, needs sacrifices to be summoned, Professor Chronos can send the field magic card to the cemetery to summon the Antique monster without the tributes. In other words, Antique Gear Castle is sent to the cemetery so that Antique Gear Golum can be summoned specially onto the field.

He then declares the attack of Antique Gear Golum against Vampire Bat. Thus, Carmilla's LP decreases to 1200 (3200+1000-3000). Repeatedly, she activates the special effect of Vampire Bat to keep it away from the destruction. Also, she claims that Antique Gear Golum will be destroyed by Immortal Kingdom Hellvania again. Professor Chronos is uncertain that she can do that. He plays a magic, Heavy Storm, to destroy Immortal Kingdom Hellvania and her face-down trap card, Undead Bed [Heavy Storm ~ Ouarashi - Magic: Destroy all Magic and Trap cards on the Field].

Carmilla thinks that Professor Chronos is not only weak but also clumsy. Professor Chronos tries stops her saying as if she isn't going to accept the defeat. Carmilla says that those should be her words. Her face becomes creepy before activating the trap card, Undead Bed. Professor Chronos is getting very surprised because all of her trap cards should have been destroyed. Kaiser realizes that this special trap card can be played only if it is destroyed. Carmilla further explains that it allows her to summon an undead-type monster from the graveyard onto the field. As a result, Immortal Werewolf is resurrected. Due to the effect of Vampire Bat, Immortal Werewolf's attack points become 1400 (1200+200). People are all get amazed by that Carmilla can read Professor Chronos' plays completely. Nothing is left from her red eyes or the eyes of her bat.

Vampire Genesis Monster Card

She then plays a magic card, Book of Life (Forbidden Magic), form her hand [Book of Life Magic (Forbidden Magic) ~ Seisha No Sho Kindan No Jyujyuttsu - Magic: Special Summon 1 Undead Sub-Type Monster from your Cemetery to the Field, and remove 1 Monster in your opponent's Cemetery from the game]. It allows her to summon an undead-type monster from her cemetery. As a result, Vampire Load is resummoned onto the field. Due to the effect of Vampire Bat, its attack points become 2200 (2000+200). Furthermore, she can remove a monster from Professor Chronoss' graveyard from the game. Thus, Antique Gear Beast is moved out. After that, removing Vampire Lord from the game, Carmilla summons speciall Vampire Genesis in an attack position [Vampire Genesis - 8/3000/2100: This card can't be Normal Summoned. This card can only be Special Summoned by removing 1 Vampire Lord on your Field from the game. You can discard 1 Undead Sub-Type Monster from your hand to the Cemetery to Special Summon 1 Undead Sub-Type Monster from your Cemetery with Level less than the discarded Undead Sub-Type Monster. You can use this effect only 1 time per turn]. According to the effect of Vampire Bat, its attack points become 3200 (3000+200).

Professor Chronos is in such a trouble, facing against the three undead monsters. He knows his coming destiny very well, so he closes his eyes and stays calm shortly. Reopening his eyes, he turns to talk to his students for a promise. Although people are defeated by the duel, their light must not defeated by darkness. No matter what, they must not surrender their hearts. Carmilla thinks that Professor Chronos may have already finished his words, so she can start the final strike. Professor Chronos turns back and lets her come whenever she is ready. He no longer looks scared but full of brave heart. Carmilla finally makes the final move, declaring the attack of Vampire Genesis against Antique Gear Golum. At this moment, Professor Chronos' LP reduces to 1500 (1700+3000-3200). Carmilla continues the next strike of Immortal Werewolf against him directly. Thus, his LP more decreases to 100 (1500-1400). Lastly, Vampire Bat reduces his LP to 0 (100-1000).

His students feel very worried about him. Before Professor Chronos is falling onto the ground, he tries to tell his students again to fight by the light duel. Carmilla declares the end of the game by her victory. Judai is very impressed by the great duel of his teacher. Carmilla walks in to take the key from Professor Chronos. The first key is finally taken. She asks for the promise of the game rule, going to take Professor Chronos' soul for his collection. Carmilla takes out a doll and moves his soul into it. However, it isn't exactly what she wants, so she throws it onto the ground. Judai gets very angry at her, but Kaiser tries to stop him. Actually, Kaiser becomes very angry as well, but he tries to stay calmly. Carmilla hopes to have fun in the next fight again, and she will send them a next invitation later. Then she disappears as a vampire castle is coming out in the lake.
