Summary

A mysterious guy appears from shadow, coming closer to Yugi. He knows that Yugi usually duels while his friends are always by his side. Also, he has heard that Yugi obtains power of friendship during the battle. Of course, card professors don't believe in that kind of power, rejecting and considering it a big mistake. Turning his face up, Yugi can guess that this mysterious guy took away Jyonouchi and Honda. Then the mysterious guy introduces himself "Kirk Dixon". He talks about a simple guy like Jyonouchi who was caught into his easy trap. Also, Dixon sees Yugi be in a hurry, so he tells him to start the duel at once. He also provokes Yugi and asks him whether Yugi isn't satisfied by the duel that there is no friend around. At this moment, Yugi is getting angry. He asks Dixon seriously where Jyonouchi and Honda are. Dixon tells him that there a lot of security system set up in this building. He doesn't know either where the destination of each trap hole goes. Anyway, he imagines that Yugi's friends should be at a proper place for them.

First turn comes to Yugi. Setting up two reversed cards, he summons Alpha the Magnet Warrior (4/1400/1700) in a defense mode and ends his turn. Next, Dixon summons Machine Soldiers (4/1600/1500) in an attack mode and sets up a reversed card. After that, he plays a magic card Bond of Brotherhood (Douhou No Kizuna) that allows him to pay 1000 LP and then to summon specially two monsters with the same type family from his deck onto the field. However, the summoned monsters can't perform the attack in this turn. As a result, Dixon's LP goes down to 3000 (4000-1000) while he summons two machine-type monsters - Machine Sniper (4/1800/800) and Machine Defenser (4/1200/1800) - onto the field. Yugi is very surprised by the three monsters summoned onto the field by only one turn.

Turn comes to Yugi again. Setting up another reversed card, he sacrifices Alpha the Manget Warrior to summon Black Magician Girl (6/2000/1700). He declares the attack of Black Magician Girl against Machine Defenser at once. Nevertheless, this attack is what Dixon has already expected. Dixon suddenly opens his trap card Enemy Warning Alarm (Teki Shuukei Hou). This can be activated when the opponent attacks. It allows Dixon to summon a monster specially from his hand. When the battle phase finishes, the summoned monster must be returned to the Dixon's hand. As a result, Dixon summons Power-do Caterpillar (7/2700/2000) onto the field. He later lets it counterattack Black Magician by Buster Canon at once. At this moment, Yugi opens one of his reversed card Spellbinding Circle (Roku Housei Jyuhaku). By its effect, the attack of Power-do Caterpillar is invalid and its attack points are also decreased by 700 points. Therefore, Power-do Caterpillar can't continue its attack and is returned to Dixon's hand.

Come to Dixon's turn. He summons Battle Commander Quinton (Tokusenkan Quinton 4/1000/600) in an attack mode. By its effect, it can make a command to unite all of machine-type monsters on the field into one. If the player would like the united monster to attack, he has to pay 1000 LP. As a result, Machine Sniper, Machine Defenser and and Machine Soldier are combined together and become Machine of Force with 4600 attack points (1800+1200+1600) and 4100 defense points (800+1800+1500). Paying 1000 LP, Dixon declares the attack of Machine of Force (4600) against Black Magician Girl at once. At this moment, Dixon's LP goes down to 2000 (3000-2000). However, the attack is stopped by a trap card of Yugi. It is Illusion of Circle (Gensou No Jubaku) that makes any effect of a cursed monster invalid. Also, it decreases the cursed monster's attack points by 500 points. As a result, Yugi selects to play this trap with Battle Commander Quinton. In other words, Battle Commander Quinton's command is deactivated, and the three machine monsters are recombined. Battle Commander Quinton's attack points go down to 500 (1000-500) by the effect of Illusion of Circle. Furthermore, Yugi opens another reversed trap card, Diffusion Wave-Motion (KakusanSuruHadou). Paying 1000 LP, Yugi can let Black Magician attack each of the Dixon's monsters - Machine Soldier (1600), Machine Sniper (1800), Machine Defenser (1200) and Battle Commander Quinton (500). That means the total battle damage of 2900 ([2000-1600]+[2000-1800]+[2000-1200]+[2000-500]) deals to Dixon (2000). Therefore, Dixon is finally defeated.

Note: The effect of Diffusion Wave-Motion in comic is different from OCG. In OCG's effect, Diffusion Wave-Motion can be played only with level 7 or higher spellcaster monster. Black Magician Girl has only level 6, so it shouldn't be played with Diffusion Wave-Motion. However, in comic's effect, it just says that "Spread the attack power of Magician to all monsters on the opponent side of the field", and it doesn't say anything about the qualified level of the spellcaster monster.

Dixon is getting surprised and shocked by that he lost Yugi. While he is stepping back, he is caught by his own trap. Then he falls into a trash bin. Yugi looks down on the floor and gets worried about Jyonouchi and Honda. Then, little Yugi appears from the millennium puzzle. He tells Yami Yugi that Jyonouchi and Honda must be fine. Although he doesn't know where they are, they know where the target is. Yami Yugi previously said before that no matter what kind of enemy Jyonouchi was going to face, Jyonouchi could break through. Hearing what little Yugi said, Yami Yugi can release his worries. He also believes that Jyonouchi and Honda can pass through any kind of situation. Then he moves to pick up a key card of Dixon on the floor and aims for the next target. Finally, he must reach Tenma. On the other side, while Jyonouchi and Honda are going up from a trash room downstair, he sees Dixon falling down from a trash pipe.
