Introduction

Previously, Jaden Yuki along with his friends and family arrived at Duel Academy for their class reunion and to celebrate Sakura's first birthday, but the celebration was cut short when the party was crashed by Bill Jobs, who had been resurrected thanks to the experiments of Elizabeth Beaufort, whom had fallen in love with him. Bill held the entire island hostage and forced Jaden to run a gauntlet of duelists while he stole the Sacred Beast cards.

When the gauntlet was completed Bill challenged Jaden to a duel to the death. After most of his best cards were destroyed, Jaden summoned the monsters given to him by his friend Chumley, the Elemental Hero Special Forces, five armored assault vehicles piloted by the Elemental Heroes, the vehicles then combined together to form the ultimate fighting machine, Elemental Hero Battle-Bot Titanus. A fierce battle then ensued between the Ultimate Sacred Beast and the Ultimate Weapon of Heroes. In the end Titanus proved the better, but the force of the fight had weakened the supports that held the arena in place. Jaden was quick enough to get out, but Bill wasn't so lucky.

Dangling over a lake of molten lava and hanging on by only a chain, Bill started begging for his life from his arch enemy. Jaden, being the kind person that he is, agreed to save Bill's life on the condition that he leave him and his family alone. Not wanting to end up at death's door again, Bill accepted those terms.

Two months have passed since then. With Jobs safely behind bars, Jaden felt he could now live happily ever after with his family… or so he thought.

"Sakura, it's Saturday night, and you know what that means…"

"oowwee… nnaah."

"That's right, it's movie night!"

Movie night had quickly become a tradition for the Yuki family; it was the time of the week where they got together with their friends to watch movies that Sakura was going to see for the first time. Everyone enjoyed it, mainly because after a long week of keeping food on the table it was good to kick back and enjoy life. But of course for Jaden it wasn't really work. He kept food on the table by dueling his heart out, and his passion certainly wasn't work. The real work was at home with his household chores. He had been told long ago that in order to have a successful marriage, a man needed to treat his wife like a queen, and a queen certainly doesn't do all the housework, sure it was tiring and boring, but good things happened when he kept Alexis happy, so it was all worth it.

"Is she still holding that card?" asked Chazz.

"She never puts it down."

They were of course referring to the Cyber Heroine Azura card that Sakura had gotten for her birthday. It was in a plastic case, but Jaden and the others were wondering if that was really necessary considering how careful she was with it, she also did everything with it.

"She doesn't keep it with her in bath does she?" asked Blair.

"No, she'd never risk getting it wet." said Alexis.

"Hey, where's private Truesdale?" asked Hassleberry.

"He said he was coming late, said he was bringing a… friend."

"A friend? Oh boy… don't tell me."

"Syrus has girlfriend?!"

Chazz was already forming the picture in his mind, and it made him laugh. That's when they heard the doorbell.

"That must be them now."

Jaden went to answer the door.

"Hi guys."

"So Syrus, aren't you going to introduce me to your friends?"

"Whoa… All things considered she's actually quite a looker." said Chazz.

"Uh… Everyone this is Nashita… She's my… my…"

"I'm his girlfriend… or should I say fiancée?"

"SAY WHAT?!" they all exclaimed.

For a couple seconds everyone was quiet.

"Well congratulations!" said Jaden at last.

Since Jaden and Alexis could tell Sakura wanted to see it so badly they were watching Toy Story 2. She really seemed to enjoy the first one and wanted to see what happened next.

"Your daughter is so cute!" said Nashita "Syrus, I want a baby!"

"Uhh… someone help me out here." he mouthed.

"Why don't you save that for your wedding night?" said Alexis.

"Hmm… You're probably right."

"So, Nashita… What exactly is it about Syrus that makes him so special to you?"

"Well that's easy, he's so adorable!"

"Do you mind?! This is the best part!" said Hassleberry.

Hassleberry was laughing at the scene where the toys cross the road in the guise of traffic cones, when suddenly he seemed to be having one of his fits.

"Hassleberry, what's wrong?"

"Jaden, I can feel it too." said Yubel.

Jaden could also see that the duel spirit of Sakura's Cyber Heroine Azura moved as if to protect her from something, that's when it happened.

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMM!!!

There was a bright flash of light outside.

"What the… there's not a cloud in the sky."

Jaden and the others rushed outside to see what was happening.

"Wait, what's that big purple thing?" asked Blair.

"Where? I don't see anything" said Chazz

"There! That big purple thing!" she said pointing up at the sky.

Up in the sky there was what appeared to be a huge swirling purple vortex. For about five minutes Jaden and the others just stared at it, then it started flashing, suddenly two huge buildings seemed to come falling out of it and flew off in two different directions. Next six different colored beams flew out of the vortex in groups of two. After that the vortex flashed again and closed. Now some of Jaden's friends had their jaws hanging.

"Okay that right there, that was messed up."
