Today, the Danger Room didn't look like either a lab or a classroom. Or any kind of building, for that matter. Instead, the students would find themselves on a sunny street full of shops in the Juuban District of Tokyo.

Oddly enough, Professor Tomoe's face was still covered in shadows.

He leaned against a rail as he waited for his students to show up. He grinned widely once they were assembled. "Good afternoon, class!" he said. "You may be wondering what we're doing in a nice part of Tokyo and how it relates to your final exam. Well, over the past few months, we've been talking about many of the tools that that mad scientists use. For your final, we're going to see how well you've learned how to use them. There is only one activity involved in your final."

He threw his arms open wide. "DESTROY TOKYO!"

He then let out a long maniacal laugh that went on for so long that it ended in a coughing fit. He regained his composure, and lowered his arms. "Yes, I want you to destroy Tokyo. You may use any tool that we've talked about this semester. I have a copy of the syllabus taped up to one of the poles if you wish to refresh yourself on the topics we covered. You will receive higher grades if you manage to destroy the Tokyo Tower as a part of your rampage."

He held up a warning finger to the group. "However, you should know that Tokyo has the highest concentration of so-called 'heroes' on the planet, even more than New York. It is highly likely that some costumed fool will try and stop you from destroying the city. Should they appear, you must either defeat them, or destroy as much of the city as possible despite their interference."

He gave them another glowing grin. "Good luck."

A boy with a bizarre, extremely pointed hair ran up to where Ed was.

"Stop that!" he said in an unreasonably deep voice. "You can't just destroy the city like that! I'll use a children's card game to teach you the error of your ways." He raised his left arm, revealing a lame plastic playing card table strapped to his wrist. "It's time to d-d-d-d-d-d-duel!"

"...Do you have a stutter?" Ed asked.

"Only when I say that line, for some reason," he said in his very deep voice. He shoved a deck of children's playing cards into his plastic holder. "For my first move, I summon ... BLUE EYES WHITE DRAGON!"

He put the card in one of the playing slots. As he did, a large white dragon with blue eyes popped up behind him from seemingly out of nowhere.

Edward looked up. "You have an albino dragon behind you. Not technically albino, I suppose, but the idea's there."

Yuugi looked confused at the response. "Well, ... yes. That's what's on the card, so that's what shows up when I play it. Have you never played a children's card game before?"

"No, why would I?" he asked.

Yuugi stared at Ed in outright shock. "Doesn't everyone?" Everyone in his universe was completely obsessed with the game Duel Monsters. Why, they even built boarding schools just for people to learn how to play better!

The blue eyes white dragon started looking over its nails while waiting for some action.

"Not really," Ed told him loftily. "My brother and I learned alchemy mostly when we were children."

"Oh." Yuugi had to admit that it sounded very impressive. "But you still used cards to learn it, right?"

"No, books. How would cards have enough information?"

Yuugi puffed himself up with pride. "If you truly believe in the Heart of the Cards, you can do anything at all."
