Joseph was still in the hospital, and Jenn was spying on him. Jenn said, "Since Joseph won't be out of the hospital until tomorrow, why not take out his friends." Jenn then got a call on her phone. She answered it and said, "Hello." The person on the other line said, "Jenn." Jenn said, "Speak to me, Jacob." Jacob said, "I volunteer to duel Joseph's friends and make up for Ralph's and Elena's defeats." Jenn said, "Why should I believe you can do any better?" Jacob said, "Just give me a chance." Jenn said, "Very the well. They're in the hospital waiting for Joseph to wake up, so you'll have to duel one of them."
While Frank and Nick were with Joseph, they heard someone scream, so they checked it out. Then they saw Jacob beat Luna just like Nick did. Jacob said, "A victory just wasn't set for you. Now, hand over your monster coins." Luna whined and coughed up her last six coins to Jacob. Nick said, "Hey, Luna, what's going on?" Jacob grabbed Luna's arm and said, "She's out of the tournament, that's what. She wagered all her coins and lost to me. She was easy to beat with my deck." Nick put his deck in his duel disk, and it activated. Nick said, "Well, I wager my place in this tournament to win back hers." Luna said, "What?" Nick said, "Luna, you're a great duelist. I'm going to make sure you get your coins back." Jacob said, "Fine. Your friend is out of commission anyway. And if you lose to me, Jacob, Jenn's eliminator, you'll give me your coins as you said."
Jacob activated his duel disk, and their life points started at 8000. Nick saw he drew Elizabeth, the Princess's Dog, Jerry, The Dark Soldier, Peasant Village, Prince Jeremy, and Water Balloon Launcher. Jacob saw he drew Polymerization, Breaker The Magical Warrior, Royal Straight Slasher, Beast of Gilfer, and Queen's Knight. Nick drew Cream Pie Catapult from his deck and said, "Ok, I'll start the show with Jerry, The Dark Soldier (1800/200) in Attack Mode. And I'll equip him with Water Balloon Launcher, raising his power by 700 points. Then Jerry's power rose from 1800 to 2500. Nick said, "That ends my turn." Jacob drew Soul Taker from his deck and said, "I summon Breaker The Magical Warrior (1600/1000) in Attack Mode. And thanks to his arrival, he gets 300 more points." Then, Breaker's power rose from 1600 to 1900. Jacob said, "Now I'll take the spell counter off and destroy your Water Balloon Launcher, reducing your monster's power back to its original 1800. Nick said, "Now I activate Soul Taker. So, I'll destroy your Warrior and give you 1000 extra Life Points. Then Jacob's Life Points rose from 8000 to 9000. Jacob said, "No matter, you're wide open for a direct attack. Breaker, attack Nick directly. Breaker attacked Nick directly and lost 1600 Life Points, bringing him down to 7400. Nick thought, "I'm starting to see how Luna lost to this guy." Jacob said, "Ok, I'll end my turn."
Nick drew Rachel, the Dark Soldier, from his deck and thought, "Rachel. She won't stand a chance, but Jeremy will. Maybe this combo will work." Nick said, "I play Rachel, the Dark Soldier (1400/1200) in defense mode. And I activate Cream Pie Catapult. Since I have a warrior-type monster on the field, this magic card lets me fire a cream pie at your Life Points once per turn and decrease them by 600. Now, fire." Nick's catapult launched a cream pie at Jacob, and he lost 600 Life Points, bringing him down to 7400. Nick said, "Jacob, the score is tied. We're evenly matched." Jacob drew from his deck and said, "We'll see about that." Jacob looked at his card and saw it was Magician's Circle." Jacob thought, "I'll save this for later." Jacob said, "I summon Queen's Knight (1500/1600) in Attack Mode. Destroy his warrior!" Queen's Knight then destroyed Rachel, the Dark Soldier. Jacob said, "And since you don't have a warrior-type monster anymore, your catapult is useless. Now Breaker, attack his Life Points directly again." Then Breaker attacked Jacob directly, and Jacob screamed when he got slashed. Then his Life Points dropped from 7400 to 5800. Frank said, "This is bad." Nick thought, "That's the second time he attacked me directly."
Nick looked at his hand and saw his Elizabeth, the Princess's Dog card. Nick thought, "I could throw that out to destroy his Queen's Knight. But my monster will also be destroyed, and he'll come at me with Breaker again." Jacob looked at his deck and thought, "I got to draw something that can help. Let's hope this card is it." Nick drew Queen Megan from his deck and thought, "Queen Megan. She is powerful enough. But I must sacrifice two monsters first, and I don't have any." Nick said, "I place one card face down in defense mode and end my turn." Jacob said, "Is this the best you got?" Jacob drew Curse of Dragon from his deck and said, "I sacrifice Queen's Knight to summon Beast of Gilfer (2200/2500). Destroy his defense card." Beast of Gilfer destroyed Nick's Elizabeth, the Princess's Dog (1500/1100). Jacob said, "And I still have my Breaker to attack with. Attack his Life Points directly!" Breaker slashed Nick again, and his Life Points dropped from 5800 to 4200.
Nick got down on his knees and thought, "That's the third time he attacked me. Keep this up, and I'll be out of Life Points in the next two turns." Nick got up and said, "It's my turn." Nick drew Kent, the Good Soldier, from his deck and said, "This will make a dent in your Life Points. I summon Kent, the Good Soldier (1800/1100) in Attack Mode. And since he's a warrior, I can activate my cream pie catapult. Fire at his Life Points, now." Nick's Cream Pie Catapult fired at Jacob, and he lost 600 Life Points, bringing him down to 6800. Nick said, "Now, Kent, destroy Breaker the Magical Warrior!" Kent then slashed Breaker and destroyed him. Then Jacob lost 200 more Life Points, which brought him down to 6600. Nick said, "Ok, I'm ending my turn." Jacob drew Gaia, the Fierce Knight, from his deck and said, "I fuse Curse of Dragon with Gaia the Fierce Knight to form Gaia, the Dragon Champion (2600/2100). Slice and dice his warrior!" Then Gaia slayed Kent, and Nick lost 800 Life Points, bringing him down to 3400. Jacob said, "Beast of Gilfer, attack his Life Points directly!" Then Beast of Gilfer attacked Nick directly, and he lost 2200 Life Points, bringing him down to 1200. Jacob said, "I have 5 1/2 times as many Life Points as you. You could only win if you pulled a miracle out of your deck."
Nick drew Chessland from his deck, saying, "And that's what I did. I play the field spell, Chessland." Once Nick played Chessland, a bunch of towers emerged from the ground, and a chess board appeared on the field. Jacob said, "What's going on?" Nick said, "Welcome to Chessland. Now I play Prince Jeremy (2200/1400) and Queen Megan (2500/2050). Jacob said, "You can't summon those. You need to sacrifice something first. Nick said, "In general, that's true. But thanks to the magic of Chessland, any royalty monsters are automatically summoned to the field. Now, Queen Megan, destroy the Beast of Gilfer. Then Queen Megan destroyed the Beast of Gilfer, and Jacob lost 300 Life Points, bringing him down to 6300. Nick said, "And now I'll fire my catapult at you." Nick then fired his cream pie catapult, and when it hit Jacob, he lost 600 Life Points, bringing him down to 5700. Frank said, "Alright. Great job, Nick." Jacob said, "No matter, I still have more Life Points. And by destroying Beast of Gilfer, you activated its special ability; now your queen loses 500 points." Then Queen Megan lost 500 points, bringing her down to 2000. Jacob said, "Now it's my turn." Jacob drew Summoned Skull from his deck and said, "Gaia, destroy the queen." Gaia, the Dragon Champion, then destroyed Queen Megan, and Nick lost half his Life Points, bringing him down to 600. Jacob said, "I'll end my turn."
Nick drew Library of Decisions from his deck and said, "I'll switch my prince into defense mode, and I'll take a shot at you with my catapult." Then Nick fired a cream pie at Jacob, and he lost 600 Life Points, bringing him down to 5100. Jacob said, "I end my turn." Jacob drew Red Gadget from his deck and said, "This is where it ends. I summon Red Gadget (1300/1500) in Attack Mode. Now, Gaia, destroy his prince." Then Gaia, the Dragon Champion, destroyed Nick's Prince Jeremy. Jacob said, "Now, Red Gadget attack him directly!" Then Red Gadget attacked Nick directly, and Nick lost 1300 Life Points, bringing him down to 0. Luna said, "No way." Frank said, "He lost." Jacob then walked up to Nick and took his monster coins from him. Jacob said, "1 down, 2 to go." Jacob then laughed evilly while he left. Frank said, "We'll find you and duel." Jacob said, "That's exactly what I'm counting on."
