Out in the wilderness, a duo of goblins arrive on "horseback" and come upon an old looking mansion.

Goblin: Ahh. Let's see if any duelists are inside. The goblin goes up to the door. Anyone home? The door opens, revealing Aster Phoenix.

Aster: Wow, it's halloween already?

Goblinh: We ask the questions around here. The Supreme King has sent us to round up duelists of the rebel army. Seen any?

Aster: Duelists? I'm afraid I haven't. There's no one like that in here.

Goblin: You sure? Because all liars get sent away straight to the stars.

Aster: I'm not lying. I promise you. You can look around if you'd like to.

Goblin: Okay, then. I'll check the house to see if you're on the level or not. You better not be lying. Stand aside, I'm coming through. This is an awfully big place to be living in all alone.

Aster: Who said I was alone?

Goblin: Who's here? Take me to them, or I'll make you one with the stars right now. The goblin threatened, pressing his duel disk against Aster's neck.

Aster: Easy does it. He's in the room just over here. I'll take you over to him right away.

Goblin: He better not be a duelist.

Aster: Oh, he's perfectly harmless. See for yourself. Step right this way.

They go up the stairs to the next floor. Aster approaches the door and opens it, bringing light into the otherwise dark room.

Aster: Okay, he's in here.

Goblin: He better not be a duelist, or you're both in trouble.

[Door Closing]

Goblin: Hey, you locked me out!

Aster: No, I locked you in.

Just then, the room was lit by several fires along the walls. On the other side of the room, Zane stood silently.

Goblin: Hold on. Who are you? Show yourself now or I'll send you to the stars.

Zane: I'm afraid the only person going anywhere is you. I hope you like to travel, 'cause I'm sending you on a permanent vacation.

Goblin 2: Hey, boss, where are you? Come on! We must report back!

Aster: I'm afraid he's quite indisposed at the moment. He asked for you to wait over here 'til he finishes looking around.

Goblin: [Screams]

Goblin 2: Human, what was that noise?

Aster: That was your boss. And if you'd like to know what it is that's happening to him, I can show you. Up close and personal.

Back on the upper floor, Zane used is Cyber Dragon's to destroy the Goblins monsters, rendering him defenseless.

Goblin: [Groaning]

Zane: And there's more. Now come forth, Cyber End Dragon!

Goblin: Please, don't send me to the stars. I'll do anything.

Zane: Then answer this. Does the Supreme King duel with Elemental Heroes?

Goblin: I think he does.

Zane: You think or you know?

Goblin: I-- I'm sure. I saw his deck once.

Zane: And what did you see in it?

Goblin: Once, as I was handing the king his duel disk, a card fell to the floor. It was an Elemental Hero, but it was covered in darkness.
