After Chazz finished the new renovations on the Slifer Dorm, Alexis moves in because of Dr. Crowler wanting to turn her into a dueling pop-singer. The group realized that Crowler was using the students for fame and made a pact to stop him. Bastion announced that Crowler wants Syrus to duel Missy, an Obelisk Blue with a powerful insect deck. If he wins, Syrus will get promoted to Ra Yellow. Crowler figured he would be a perfect candidate because he was the younger brother of Zane Truesdale. Syrus realized that his fear was making him be left behind, while all his friends moved ahead. He dueled Missy, managed to clear away his fear, and defeated her with Super Vehicroid Jumbo-Drill. Although Syrus was promoted to Ra, he stayed in the Slifer dorm with his friends.
