This is straight onto episode 29 and the rest of the season. But I've added a few new things to this.
After Sheppard told Jaden, Zane, Alexis, Chazz, Bastion, Crowler, and Banner about the Shadow riders, he was deep in thought. "Maybe I shouldn't have given the keys to them, this is bigger than they could imagine, but I had to do something, the shadow riders will stop at nothing to release the three Sacred beasts."
That night--
Alexis went over to Jaden's dorm thinking, "Those Shadow Riders are going to go after who they think is weakest, and with Jaden wearing his Slifer Red jacket, he's obviously the first target I must warn him." Jaden was outside and was walking around when he saw Alexis.
"Lex, what are you doing here?" "I just wanted to warn you that you might be the first target for the Shadow Riders because your in the Slifer dorm, not that your.." Jaden stopped her with a kiss. "Thanks for looking out for me, but that's what friends do right, especially girlfriends?" "Yes." Alexis replied, and they started kissing again.
"I can't believe it, Alexis and Jaden ARE together." "I knew something was going on between those two.
They stopped kissing to look behind them. They saw Jasmine and Mindy, Alexis's roommates, fall over. "Were you girls watching us?" "Yes." they both replied "So how the fiancée business going?" they then asked. "We've decided to call it off till we get older." Jaden replied. Jasmine and Mindy said "That's good to…" but they were cut off by some weird form of light surrounding them and laughter, then everything went away, or maybe they did.
Jaden and Alexis were on a blue colored platform in the volcano on Academy Island. "Where are we?" Alexis asked. "One very weird dream," then they saw a dragon covered in lava and soar. "Or a nightmare," replied Alexis. "It's neither said a voice.
The dragon then went on the platform and turn into a flame. Then a figure came out laughing. "Who are you asked Jaden," "Call me Nightshroud the first Shadow Rider." Jaden then saw he had half of a medallion, that looked just like his. "I see the Gravekeeper got sloppy, but he was a joke compared to me. I'll take that medallion, and to make it interesting, say hello to Syrus, Chumley, Jasmine and Mindy." "WHERE?!" Jaden and Alexis asked. "JADEN!!" "ALEXIS!!" They turned and saw their four friends in a blue orb on a spot where the lava didn't hit. "Let them go Nightshroud!" exclaimed Jaden. "I need them to ensure a speedy match. But that's not all that this duel is about, your soul is also at stake." He put up a yellow card that in the place of a duel monster was a black color background. "If I win, you soul goes to this card, however, if you win, my soul will be trapped in here." "Alright Nightshroud, your on!"

After the duel, there was a flash of light, and Syrus, Chumley, Mindy, and Jasmine were on the rocky part of the volcano, "We're alive!" yelled Mindy and Jasmine. "Hey, there's Alexis." said Syrus. "Hey guys" said Alexis as she woke up, "where's Jaden?" They looked around. "There!" said Chumley. Jaden had his eyes closed, but was still alive. "He's alright everyone, tired, but who can blame him?" "I wonder why nightshroud is here?" Alexis walked over to him, and when she saw his mask gone, she gasped. Bastion, Chazz, and Zane came to find Jaden, and they saw what was going on. They were all surprised to find out that Nightshroud was Atticus, Alexis's brother! "If this is what happens after you win a shadow game, I'd hate to see the loss of one." "The next Shadow rider will be here soon, and when it does, we will be ready!" exclaimed Zane.
