While investigating the complex, Jesse and Syrus find Jaden unconscious. While Syrus goes for help Jesse stays behind with Jaden who finally awakes. They come across Trapper, a cruel man who hunts cards with spirits, who aims to steal the Crystal Beasts. Jesse reveals to Jaden that he has been hunting Trapper for several years after he came across a kid who's card was stolen by Trapper and made a promise to return it. Trapper takes Sapphire Pegasus and uses it as bait to get the rest of the Crystal Beasts. Trapper and Jesse begin dueling with the stakes high: If Jesse wins, Trapper will return Sapphire Pegasus' spirit. If Trapper wins, he gets all the Crystal Beast cards. Jesse agrees; however, almost immediately Trapper catches Amethyst Cat and Amber Mammoth.
