Dang, my mind's been blown over twice. Which means my mind's been blown, over blown. Which is also why I'm updating this fic before my Digimon fic, mainly since what blew my mind the first time.
Yusei's awesome duel with 'Yusei'/Z-ONE. Epic can never even begin to describe all the craziness that was entailed in that duel. Every one of the signers, which now includes Leo, were able to participate, despite being on the ground and shouting their words from afar.
Secondly, which happened less than 10 minutes later, a SUPER Coupon Master went shopping with like 1000+ coupons, and got about a $5000 value for less than $250, which is about a 95% savings. My Blown Mind = Blown again, after seeing that.
There's got to be a rule against that. It's just that once in a rainbow-colored, infinity-shaped moon chance of a lifetime that that should really happen. But it did, and my I'm still reeling from that event.
Dx: Your mind's blown? That's trouble, because now we have to go after whatever escapes from the hole(s) that have now appeared.
Jenny: Well, as much as I'd 'love' to join you, I've got a fic to appear in.
LR: When do I get a turn?
RDF1: You're a drop of water that I decided to imagine life into, and you're worried about being in any one fic? I've got you staring in nearly every chapter I've written since meeting you, so show some gratitude.
ANYWAYS, now that that's taken care of, not that you care, it's time for the next chapter of W.I.T.C.H. Gx. Don't worry, Digimon will be updated soon as well. It's just: with Yusei's new summoning, and latest duel, I'm now in a mood to write duels. So, 'Get Your Game On', 'cause 'It's Time to Duel!'
Disclaimer: RDF1 doesn't own anything relating to YuGiOh Gx or W.I.T.C.H.; he only owns this idea, somewhat, and his OCs. Anything else belongs to its rightful owners.
(Chapter Begin)
(Recap)
A few hours later, Jenny opened up the new door to her new room, just across from Alexis. It was both convenient, and handy. If she had any questions, or just to talk, Alexis would be a few steps away. Jenny smiled.
"This year is going to get more interesting by the week."
Suddenly, Cornelia pops out of the deck, looking mad.
"Why'd you sacrifice Caleb like that!" she demanded.
"You saw Flame Wingman try and fail to destroy Cyber Blader, because Jaden had no other monsters out. Besides, it's not like you'll ever lose him again."
"It still doesn't change the fact that it still hurts," replied Cornelia, turning away from Jenny.
"Trust me, I could do a lot worse with you guys. Now, it's late, and I don't want to explain to Miss Fontaine the science behind Duel Spirits," finished Jenny.
Cornelia returned to the deck with one final 'humph', and Jenny went to bed, thoroughly enjoying the now 5-star comforts.
(Recap End)
Another couple of weeks passed without too much excitement. Jaden extended an invitation for Jenny to join him, Syrus, and Chumley for a night of scary stories. After learning the rules, Jenny knew she had some scary stories to tell. After a couple of rounds, Jaden drew Sinister Serpent, and told them how he heard sounds long ago, and the only explanation was his deck.
"And?" prompted Syrus.
"And that's the end of the story," replied Jaden, "Though, lately, I've begun hearing those sounds again."
'Guess he has the same connection with his cards, if not a stronger one, than I do with W.I.T.C.H.' thought Jenny, 'Oh, my turn, I wonder what I should tell next.'
Jenny drew her card, and it was a Level 8 Spiral Serpent Card.
(AN1)
"Wow, not bad," said Jaden, "Hope you got a good one."
"Don't worry, I think I have the perfect one…" started Jenny, before someone interrupted her.
"Doing a little late night story telling?" asked Professor Banner, spooking them slightly, causing Jenny to drop Spiral Serpent onto the table, "Mind if I join in?"
"That's not very nice, Professor," said Jenny, "You should be more respectful towards your students, Sir."
"Don't worry about it, Jenny," said Jaden, "We'd love to have you join in."
"In fact, why not go ahead and draw," said Syrus, "We've each taken a few turns already, and it'd be nice to hear something new. The higher level monster, the scarier the story has to be."
"Very well, let's draw," said Banner, turning over the top card.
It was a spell card, so he placed it in the discard pile and drew again. This time, it was Five-Headed Dragon. A Level 12 monster that only had like 2-3 dozen copies made worldwide.
(AN2)
"I think I'm going to go to bed now," said Syrus.
"Okay, but you won't be able to hear about the Abandoned Dorm at one of the ends of the island," replied Banner, sounding calm, yet spooky at the same time.
"Abandoned Dorm?" whispered Jaden.
"I think I heard an Obelisk mention that once or twice," said Jenny, thinking back to last night.
(Flashback)
She was about to go to bed when she heard Alexis's door open and close quietly, which was strange because she knew Alexis returned to her room over an hour ago, and wasn't expecting any visitors. So, she snuck out and followed Alexis, until she got to a dorm that looked like it hadn't been cleaned in a year.
"Alexis?" spoke up Jenny, spooking Alexis right after she placed a rose at the entrance to the dorm.
"Jenny?" said Alexis, startled that she was followed, and could get in trouble, "What are you doing here?"
"I could ask you the same thing," replied Jenny, "Mind telling me what's up?"
"This is where my brother was living last year," explained Alexis, "I heard a few months ago, in Duel Prep School, that he suddenly vanished along with a dozen or so other students."
"Oh, I see," said Jenny, "I'm sorry about that. Look, let's head back. We don't want anyone to find us. Besides, I get the feeling that he'll be back someday."
"You know," replied Alexis, as they walked back to Obelisk Blue Girl's Dorm, "Something's telling me that as well."
So, the girls returned to their rooms. After she closed the door to her room, Jenny said, "We'll get your brother back, Alexis. I just know it."
(Flashback End)
(AN3)
"Yes, they would," said Banner, "As it turns out, it was once meant for certain Obelisk Students that had great potential. Then, several students mysteriously vanished, and the Dorm was shut down."
"Where'd they go?" asked Syrus.
"That's the mystery," replied Banner, "But the rumor was that it had something to do with the Shadow Games."
'Shadow Games?' wondered Jenny, a creepy memory surfacing for a few moments.
"THANKS! You can stop now!" shouted Chumley, wanting the story to end.
"You see, kids," continued Banner, as if he didn't hear Chumley, "Shadow Games were waged with powerful objects known as the Millennium Items."
"I heard about that," said Jaden, "But it can't be true."
"Actually," said Jenny, "Yugi, the King of Games, was known to have a chain around his neck, with an upside down Pyramid connected to it. It was the Millennium Puzzle."
"Yes, he did, didn't he," said Banner, "Besides, I believe that all stories have some realm of truth in them, because they had to have started from somewhere. Many great stories, fictional and otherwise, are based off of some true event or information."
After that, Pharaoh yawned, and Banner decided to head off to bed.
"You know, I do remember seeing this one building in the forest I had never seen before," said Syrus.
"Good, then you'll lead the way tomorrow night," said Jaden.
'Gee, what are we going to do tomorrow night,' thought Jenny, in a 'Pinky' voice, before replying in a 'Brain' voice, 'The same thing we do every night: TRY TO TAKE OVER THE WORLD!' before continuing in her own voice, 'They're Pinky, yes Pinky and the Brain, Brain, Brain, Brain, BRAIN! (Pinky) 'Narf!''
Jenny just giggled, causing the others to stare at her.
"What's so funny?" asked Chumley.
"Inside joke, you wouldn't get it," replied Jenny, and not many would find what she just thought funny.
"So, you gonna join us?" asked Jaden.
"I'll think about it," finished Jenny, "I better head back before they find out I'm not in my dorm. Later."
With that, Jenny left the Slifer dorm, intending on being there tomorrow night, more to help out Alexis and them from getting into too much trouble, other than what might be found out by a teacher.
(AN4)
The next night, Jenny decided to go with Alexis, rather than following her. Alexis didn't really argue, as she was her friend, and she didn't want her going to the Chancellor about this. When they got there, they heard voices, before Alexis accidentally stepped on a tree branch, revealing their position. Jaden flashed a flashlight on them, before relaxing.
"Hey, what's up?" said Jaden, "You tell her about this, Jenny?"
"Actually, the other way around," said Jenny.
"What are you doing here?" asked Alexis, "Don't you know this dorm is off-limits?"
"Then why are you here?" said Jaden.
"I have my reasons," replied Alexis.
"Chill," replied Jaden, "We just wanted to look around, but we'll stay out of your way."
"Alexis," said Jenny, "They deserve to know. Aren't they your friends?"
"You have a point," sighed Alexis, before turning back to Jaden, "You see, my brother was here last year, and he disappeared."
'Well, that would explain the rose,' thought Jaden.
(AN5)
After Jaden and the others went inside, Jenny went to keep an eye out for anyone that might have followed them. It wasn't a minute later, when she heard Alexis scream for a second, before being silenced. She ran to where Alexis was, only to find her unconscious, a tall man standing over her. When she saw who attacked Alexis, she felt two very conflicting emotions at the moment, anger and fear.
(AN6)
"YOU!" said Jenny in anger, despite her body shaking with fear, "Yugi defeated you! Why are you here?"
"I'm here to complete a job, but now that you're here, I think I'll just send you to the Shadow Realm right now," replied Titan, holding up his 'Millennium Item'.
The object glowed, and Jenny tried to block out the light, but it was too intense, and she lost conscious do to an enormous headache from the bright light.
When Jenny woke up, she noticed that Alexis was in a coffin, and she was bound and gagged with a cloth. Her fear from earlier was vanishing quickly, now that she got her wits about her again. She looked over to see Jaden talking with Titan, and she knew it would lead to a duel. She tried to struggle, but she couldn't get loose. She stopped struggling and tried thinking of a way out of there, when it hit her.
'Blunk!' she called out mentally, and sure enough Blunk appeared from her deck.
"You okay, Jenny?" asked Blunk.
'Not really,' continued Jenny, 'now get me out of here. Maximillion Pegasus gave you your Tonga Tooth for your special ability, but you can use it to enter the real world for a short time. Get me out of here so I can help my friends.'
Meanwhile, the duel had started.
Titan: 4000
Jaden: 4000
"Prepare to enter a world of shadows," said Titan, drawing his card, "I summon Infernalqueen Archfiend in attack mode."
Infernalqueen Archfiend
Level: 4
Atk: 900
Def: 1500
Effect: Once per turn, increase the attack points of one 'Archfiend' monster on the field by 1000.
Infernalqueen Archfiend
Atk: 1900
"An Archfiend monster?" wondered Jaden, interested by the challenge, "Not bad. But I know my Archfiends, and to keep them on the field, you need to sacrifice life points."
"You're right," said Titan, "Usually I do, but in this case: I play Pandemonium!"
Pandemonium
Type: Field
Effect: You do not have to pay life points for 'Archfiend' monsters during your standby phase.
Effect2: If an 'Archfiend' monster is destroyed by an effect, bring one 'Archfiend' monster from your deck to your hand.
Jenny used the distraction to have Blunk open a temporary fold for him to get her free. After she was free, Blunk returned to her deck. She got up and ran over to where Alexis was in the coffin, only for the coffin to close and a weird claw closed around it and pulled it into the ground.
"Jaden! Get Alexis out of there!" shouted Jenny.
"Working on it," replied Jaden, as he played his card, "I summon Avian in attack mode, and I'll throw down two facedowns. I end my turn."
"My go," said Titan, "And I summon Terrorking Archfiend in attack mode."
Terrorking Archfiend
Level: 4
Atk: 2000-3000
Def: 1500
"Terrorking Archfiend," continued Titan, "Attack Avian!"
"I activate my trap: Mirror Gate!" said Jaden, revealing his facedown.
Mirror Gate
Effect: When an opponent attacks one of your monsters, switch control of both monsters between both players.
"Not so fast," said Titan, "My Terrorking's ability activates. Now, I'll have this orbs be my die, and roll to see the outcome of this duel."
Die roll: 2
"Looks like your card's negated and destroyed," continued Titan, "Terrorking, finish him!"
Jaden: 2000
"Alright, you activated my other trap: Hero Signal!" countered Jaden.
Hero Signal
Effect: When a monster is destroyed on your side of the field, special summon one level 4 or below 'Elemental Hero' from your hand or deck.
"I bring out 'Clayman' in defense mode!" declared Jaden, as Clayman took to the field, taking a knee.
"Nice move," said Chumley.
"That keeps Infernal Queen from attacking Jaden," continued Syrus.
"Yes, but does it protect him, from THIS!" said Titan, bringing out his Millennium 'Item'.
A bright light shone from it, nearly blinding everyone. Jenny definitely remembered Titan now, since she nearly dueled him several months ago.
"Now that the Shadow Game has truly begun," said Titan, "the shadows have begun taking what will be theirs."
"No way," said Jaden, trying to move, "I can't move my feet."
"Jaden!" said Jenny, "Ignore it! It isn't real!"
"Jenny, what are you talking about, I can't see parts of myself," said Jaden.
"It's all an illusion!" said Jenny, "It's what he wants you to think! That's how he claims his victims, they think they're in the shadow realm, but really they're trapped in their minds under a believable illusion!"
"And how would you know that?" asked Syrus.
"Because, she fell for the same thing," said Titan.
"Jaden, remember my card," said Jenny, "A Level 8 Spiral Serpent. My story begins and ends with him!…
(Flashback)
It was about five months ago when I was still trying to find a suitable deck. I had gone through about eight decks over the past five weeks, and something still wasn't feeling right. It didn't help that I found him, or rather he found me in an alleyway near sundown. He challenged me to a duel, and I was hesitant to accept. I was still getting used to my latest deck, and I didn't know if I could win or not. Just then, a voice rang out.
"Stay away from the girl," said a deep, calming voice, "You bullies always go after those that can't defend themselves."
"And who are you, to stop me?" challenged Titan.
"I am Yugi Moto," said Yugi, as he walked into the light, where both Titan and I could see him, "And I will not tolerate those who try to harm others, particularly through a Shadow Duel."
"Oh really," said Titan, "Then tell me how fake THIS IS!"
Titan held up his Millennium 'Item', blinding me, and I fell to the ground, unconscious.
After I awoke, Yugi was standing over me, Titan had disappeared, and I didn't know where he went. Yugi told me he dueled Titan, and defeated him.
(Flashback End)
"I didn't see Titan again, until now," finished Jenny.
(AN7)
"Yep, definitely a Level Eight," said Syrus, sweating hard.
"Is he really that tough?" asked Chumley.
"Yugi also told me that his 'Item' is a fake," said Jenny, turning back to Titan, "So quit it with the act! That Item's not even real."
"Oh, it's very real," replied Titan, not even moved by her story, except being slightly angry that Yugi defeated him, "Something you should have learned last time!"
"Really," said Jenny, "If it's real, then what's the real name of it? There are only seven Millennium 'Items', each with a different name, so which one is it?"
"It doesn't matter," replied Titan, getting riled up a bit.
"Oh, it does!" countered Jenny, "Because Yugi also told me that he personally saw to it that all Seven Millennium Items were returned to their resting place back in Egypt! So don't tell me you went to Egypt and searched all over for that Item, which should be the 'Puzzle', but isn't!"
"As much fun it is learning what's real, and what's not," said Jaden, "We still have a duel to finish. I'll start with Pot of Greed, to get two more cards. Next, I'll play Polymerization, to fuse Sparkman and Clayman into Thunder Giant. Now I'll activate his special ability!"
"Which in turn, activates mine! Terrorking's special ability activates!" replied Titan.
Die Roll: 5
"Oh, so sorry, looks like my Terrorking sticks around, while your Thunder Giant gets destroyed," finished Titan, as Thunder Giant exploded.
'Oh great,' thought Jenny, 'Back to square one. Come on, Jaden, I know you have what it takes to defeat this guy!'
"Alright, I play the spell card: Mirage of Nightmare!" said Jaden, "And I'll place two cards facedown, and end my turn."
Mirage of Nightmare
Type: Continuous
Effect: During your opponent's standby phase, draw until you have 4 cards in your hand, then during your standby phase, discard the same number you drew.
"It won't matter," said Titan, "I'll defeat you, no matter what! My turn!"
"And THAT means I draw," said Jaden, picking up four new cards, "So, don't count me out yet, because I still have cards to play!"
"Very well," said Titan, "Attack Terrorking! End this!"
"I activate Mirror Force!" said Jaden, "And now all your monsters in attack mode are destroyed!"
"I play Pandemonium's special ability which lets me bring out another Archfiend, and I choose Desrook. I'll now discard him to bring back Terrorking! And since it's still the battle phase, I'll attack once more!"
"I activate Emergency Provisions," said Jaden, "By getting rid of Mirage, I gain 1000 life points, more than enough to survive!"
Jaden: 2000-3000-1000
Jaden: 1000
Titan: 4000
"Very well," said Titan, "Now my Millennium 'Item' will take more from you!"
"How many times do I have to say it!" shouted Jenny, "It's NOT REAL!"
"It looks real," said Syrus.
"Sy's got a point, Jenny," said Jaden, "I can't see all of my body. Something's real here."
"Once I'm finished with him," said Titan, "You're next, Jenny. And I'll enjoy it oh so much!"
"Not if I have anything to say about it," said Jaden, "I play the 'Warrior Returning Alive!'"
Warrior Returning Alive
Effect: Choose one Warrior-Type Monster in your graveyard and return it to your hand.
"I bring back Avian," said Jaden, "Next I'll fuse him with Burstinatrix to form Flame Wingman! Now, I'll attack!"
Titan: 3900
"And let's not forget his ability!" added Jaden.
Titan: 1900
Parts of Titan started to disappear, even for Jenny to see.
"Okay, something is real," muttered Jenny, to herself, "that much I can see now."
"I'll just use another Desrook, to bring him back!" said Titan, reviving Terrorking once more.
"I'll defend myself with Dark Catapulter!" said Jaden.
Dark Catapulter
Atk: 1000
Def: 1500
Effect1: Add one counter to this card during every one of your standby phases that this card is in defense mode.
Effect2: Remove the same number of cards from your graveyard as the number of counters on this card, and destroy the same number of spell and trap cards on the field.
"Now, bring it!" said Jaden defiantly.
"OH, I'll bring it," said Titan, drawing his card, "And this is how I'll bring it too. I sacrifice Terrorking for Skull Archfiend of Lightning!"
Skull Archfiend of Lightning
Atk: 2500
Def: 1200
"And that just happens to be a recolor of Summoned Skull," said Jenny, "There's like several different recolors, and even a Toon version of that card."
"I attack!" said Titan, ignoring Jenny, "Destroy Flame Wingman!"
Jaden: 600
"And now your that much closer to the shadows," said Titan, as more parts from Jaden disappear, "You're weary, why fight it anymore? End the suffering."
Jaden fell to one knee; from the attacks or supposed fake shadows, he didn't know which.
"Jaden!" shouted Jenny, "Get up, don't let the shadows take you!"
But if Jaden heard her, he made no indication. Less than a minute later though, Jaden stood up with no difficulty at all, a smirk upon his face.
"I have to admit, it was neat trick," said Jaden, "But it turns out Jenny was right all along. That IS a Fake Millennium Item, and the shadows are just in my mind, making me think my body's disappearing."
Dark Catapulter
Counter: 1
"Now that my Catapulter as a counter on it," continued Jaden, "I remove Avian from my graveyard to destroy Pandemonium!"
"But I still have this," said Titan.
"Not for long!" said Jenny, bringing out a card and throwing it right at said 'item' cracking it.
"Thanks Jenny," said Jaden, as the rest of his and Titan's bodies reappeared for everyone to see, "That item IS fake. No REAL Millennium Item would crack under one card."
"But you're still forgetting the other girl!" said Titan, "She's still in the shadows!"
"Not for long," said Jenny, "And so will all your other victims. They're just trapped within their minds, and once they've been reminded of that, they'll all wake up!"
"MY MILLENIUM PENDANT IS REAL!" shouted Titan.
"Sorry, it's not," said Jaden, "Jenny already said it before, it's supposed to be the Millennium Puzzle, and Yugi returned that thing ages ago."
"Now, return Alexis, and you'll only be turned over to the proper authorities!" said Jenny.
"Not on your life!" said Titan, tossing down a smoke bomb.
"Chumley, got an extra disk in there," said Jenny, holding out her hand.
"Always! In case of emergencies!" replied Chumley, as Syrus got it out and threw it to her.
Suddenly, lights began to appear on the statue heads in the room, and the floor glowed with the eye of Udjat.
"That's not good," said Jenny.
"Is this another trick, Titan?" wondered Jaden, wanting the 'games' to finish.
"This isn't me," said Titan, now in true fear.
Smoke appeared around the three of them, and dissipated into a black sphere of dark energy.
"Jaden," said Jenny, walking to his side, the duel disk on her arm, "NOW we're in the Shadow Realm."
"How do you know?" said Jaden.
Dark creatures began to surround them, and attack Titan first. Since he had no protection, they took him over quickly. Other dark creatures began to surround Jaden and Jenny.
"Not so fast," said Jenny, activating her duel disk, "'Guardian of the Veil – Will'! Come forth and protect us!"
"Begone, creatures of shadow! Stay away from my friend!" said Will, "Quintessence!"
A barrier of lightning showed up around Jenny and Jaden, forcing the creatures back somewhat. Winged Kuriboh then appeared right out of Jaden's Duel Disk, and forced the creatures to stay back even further.
"Jaden Yuki," said 'Titan', "Jennifer speaks the truth. This man has misused our namesake and will be punished; however, it must be done in accordance with a TRUE Shadow Game. It begins NOW!"
Skull Archfiend and Dark Catapulter returned.
"Be careful Jaden," said Jenny, "This is the real deal."
"How do you know?" asked Jaden.
"Yugi told me," said Jenny, "I'll tell you the rest later, right now we got to get out of here."
"Alright," said Jaden, "Since it's still my turn, I play Monster Reincarnation! I'll send a card to the graveyard to bring back Sparkman, which I'll summon in defense mode."
"Very well," said 'Titan', "My turn."
"And don't forget," said Jaden, "Without Pandemonium, you lose life points!"
'Titan': 1400
"Insignificant compared to getting your soul," replied 'Titan', "I attack Dark Catapulter! I'll summon Desrook in attack mode and place one card facedown. I end my turn."
"My move," said Jaden, drawing his card, "I play 'Spark Blaster'. I move my monster into attack mode and attack Desrook!"
'Titan': 900
"Then my Spark Blaster turns my Sparkman back into Defense mode," finished Jaden.
"Now I activate my trap, 'Battle-scared'," said 'Titan', before drawing his card, "Now you take damage as well for my Archfiend."
Jaden: 100
'Titan': 400
"Crap," said Jaden, "I only got 100 life points left."
"I'll play a facedown," said 'Titan', "then play Double Spell, which lets me discard one spell card to get YOUR Emergency Provisions, and I'll sacrifice my facedown to regain 1000 life points."
'Titan': 1400
"This is your final Turn," finished 'Titan', "You have no cards in your hand or on the field. 'Battle-scared' will take the last of your life points on my next turn. It's over."
Jaden and Jenny looked at each other, before smiling and returning their attention back to 'Titan'.
"Hey, Shadows!" said Jenny, "There's one thing you never learned in over 5,000 years."
"Oh, and what's that?" asked 'Titan'.
"That's with one more draw," said Jaden, "I still have a chance to win! I'm not 'One Card Short'!"
(AN8)
He drew his card.
"I Special Summon 'Elemental Hero – Bubbleman', in attack mode!" said Jaden, "And since he was the last card in my hand, I CAN use him for a Special Summon. Not only that, but if he's the only card on the field when I summon him, I'm allowed to draw two new cards from my deck. Sweet huh?"
Bubbleman
Level: 4
Atk: 800
Def: 1200
"Sweet nothing," said Jenny, smiling at him, "That's totally awesome."
"I know, right," said Jaden, returning the smile, "I now play Bubble Shuffle! This card has two parts to it. First I switch Bubbleman and a monster on your field to defense mode. Then I sacrifice Bubbleman to bring out another Hero."
"You've just activated my Skull's ability," said 'Titan', "Now, I need a 1, 3, or 6 to negate your card and destroy it."
Die Roll: 2
"Not bad," said Jaden, "My Bubble Shuffle is in play! Now I sacrifice Bubbleman to bring out 'Elemental Hero – Bladedge!"
Elemental Hero Bladedge
Level: 7
Atk: 2600
Def: 1800
Effect: Deal damage equal to the difference between this card attack points, and the defending monster's defense points to the opponent's life points.
"Attack and destroy Skull Archfiend!" finished Jaden.
'Titan': 0
"Well played, Jaden," said 'Titan', as the dark creatures devoured Titan's body, "But remember, there's always the next Shadow Game."
"And I'll be ready," said Jaden.
Kuriboh got their attention towards a crack of light.
"I think it's time we got out of here," said Will.
Everyone got through the crack in time.
"You okay guys," said Syrus.
"What happened in there?" asked Chumley.
"You don't want to know," said Jenny, as Will and Kuriboh disappeared back into their respective decks.
Later, after they got outside, Alexis woke up.
"Jenny, what happened?" asked Alexis.
"A man named Titan attacked you," said Jenny, "I'll tell you the full story later. Right now, I need to get you back to your room."
"Before you go," said Jaden, "Here: your card and this photo I found."
"That's Atticus," said Alexis, "He really did disappear."
"We'll find him, Alexis," said Jenny, putting her arm around the girl's shoulders, "But later, right now you need to get back to bed."
"You're starting to sound like my mother," said Alexis.
"Well, young girls do need their rest," said Jenny, mimicking an old lady's voice.
Everyone chuckled at that. Then the sunrise told them they had another day ahead of them.
"We'll talk more tomorrow, Jaden," said Jenny, helping Alexis get up, "See ya then."
"Good thing it's Saturday, otherwise we'll all be falling asleep in class," said Jaden, as he, Syrus, and Chumley left for the Slifer Red Dorm.
After Jenny got Alexis back to her room, she left for her own, after saying they would talk later that day. Alexis didn't argue, as she was ready for some rest herself. Both girls fell asleep, unaware of the repercussions their group had upon getting to the dorm last night.
(Chapter End)
Okay, not the best ending to a chapter, but I'm not going into what happens next for two reasons: I've been waiting long enough to post this up, and I need to get back to my Digimon fic before I receive an outcry of 'WHERE'S THE NEXT UPDATE!'
RDF1: So, what's the damage?
Dx: You mean other than an earthquake and tsunami to Japan and other parts of the world?
RDF1: Not funny. There is no room for jokes like that.
Jenny smacks DragonX.
Jenny: Only you would be insensitive enough to make that comment.
RDF1: Alright, time to get back to my other fic. Hopefully I'll get more than one review this time.
Here's to hoping!
Author Notes:
AN1: I happen to own one copy of this card, so it's what I chose that would be scary, but not something overly done like with Professor Banner.
AN2: I don't know how true this is, but just go with it. It's rare.
AN3: This would have gone first, but I didn't really consider it until after I got to writing the chapter.
AN4: Since Crowler is listening in on this, he would be able to know that Jaden was planning a trip to the Abandoned Dorm.
AN5: If only students, and Crowler, could see this side of Jaden. Only true Jaden fans understand that he can think things through can arrive at conclusions like that.
AN6: 'Lead to the dark side, anger and fear do,' says Yoda. (LOL)
AN7: Something fitting to a somewhat unique back-story. Yes, she knows Yugi, but she's not like 'total friends' with him or anything. She's just a fan, while he just helped her. Remember Panic? I think Titan is similar to him in the way that he bullies people into duels.
AN8: Reference to the song, but still fits.
