Last Time on Yugioh-East Duel Academy:

"Impossible…gone…it's gone…" Zeke immediately ran through the exit and ran all the way back to the dorm. Shortly after, Jia then ran after him, soon to be followed by Max and Blake leaving Flak standing in shock.

"How could this happen…My system was flawless…" Muttered Flak as he left the lab and stood in the forest to get some air.

Meanwhile, a person hidden in shadows was laughing very evilly. "Hahahahahaha! Everything is all going to plan! Soon Zeke, you'll serve me, very soon…hehehehe."

Just then a man came up to Flak. "Young man, I suspect something bad has just happened to one of your friends."

"Yeah, something did happen…Wait a sec, who are you and how do you know all this?" demanded Flak.

"Don't worry, I mean no harm, here take this card. It may cheer up your friend." said the mysterious man as he handed Flak a card.

"Gee, thanks man." said Flak as he turned around. Suddenly when he turned to talk to the man again, he saw nothing…

The Beginning of a New Evil

It was the end of the week at the academy, meaning everyone had no classes for the weekend. Over at the Main Building, Jia, Max and Blake are worried about Zeke.

"Hey Jia, have you seen Zeke?" Blake asked.

"Yeah, I have. He's still in the room. Ever since that incident, he's been different. It's as if he's a whole different person. All he ever does is sleep and sit in the corner, I'm worried for him…" explained Jia.

Suddenly a voice spoke up from behind them. "I think I can help."

"AHHH! Flak, don't you ever do that again!" screamed Max. "Now, that's over with, why are you over here?"

"I'm going to pay my apologies to Zeke, for what happened…"Flak said solemnly. "After all, it was my fault to begin with…"

"Hey, don't say that. How was you supposed to know if your computer was infected by a virus?" said Max.

"I guess you're right, but I still want to help you guys sort out Zeke…I saw it when I first saw him, he has a lot of potential as a duelist, but something, seems to have been holding him back from using his true strength…" explained Flak.

The four then went over to room 25 and went inside, seeing Zeke lying on his bed.

"Hey Zeke, someone's here to see you" declared Max.

"Oh right…oh its Flak…" Zeke said sullenly looking up at Flak, revealing that his eyes seemed lifeless.

"Zeke, I'm really sorry about what happened to your deck…And I wanted to give you something…here" said Flak as he reached into and pulled out a card and held it out to Zeke. "Here, take it, A gift from me to you."

Zeke slowly took the card and looked at it. Suddenly, hi eyes widened. "This is…Thank you Flak…"

"No problem, so you gonna come with us or what?" Flak asked.

"Yeah, sure just wait a sec." said Zeke as he watched everyone leave. Little did Zeke or his friends know, when Zeke put the card into his sealed deck, a dark aura glowed around the deck as he ran out to meet his friends…

Meanwhile, the shadowed figure watched Zeke put the card into the deck. "Perfect, perfect. My plan is going perfectly. All we need is for you to duel…thenmy plan will kick into full gear…

Zeke and his friends were walking around the campus when Zeke, Max and Blake saw a familiar face.

"Hmph, dropout-boy. What a pleasure to see you again. I hope you still remember me." The boy said with a sly tone.

"Of course I still remember you Cody, I've still been itching to duel you ever since that day!" declared Zeke.

"Alright, I'll take you up on that offer how about we take this onto the duel arena?" asked Cody.

"Fine with me!" Zeke said as he headed to the duel arena alongside Cody.

When they arrived, Zeke and Cody readied their duel disks.

"How about we play 4000LP each Zeke?" Cody asked.

"Fine." Zeke said,

"DUEL!" shouted the both of them.

4000LP-Zeke

4000LP-Cody

"I'll go first. Draw!" declared Cody as he drew his first card. "I set one monster facedown and I'll follow up with two more facedown cards. Your move Zeke."

"Finally, I was beginning to fall asleep around here." Joked Zeke as he drew his next card. "I summon Gearfried the Iron Knight, in attack mode (1800/1600)." A fully armored warrior appeared. The warrior's armor was black with white lines running over it. It also had on it's right arm a blade which was part of the armor itself. "I then play three cards facedown and attack your facedown monster." Declared Zeke as his warrior leapt up to slash down on the facedown monster which revealed itself to be a Gravekeeper's Spy (1200/2000).

"Thanks to my monster's flip effect, I can special summon a monster with "gravekeeper's" in it's name and has an attack of 1500 or less. Also, due to your monster's 1800 attack, you also lose 200LP damage. But the pain doesn't end there yet, due to my spy's effect, I summon my Gravekeeper's curse in attack mode (800/800)" Declared Cody as a cloaked man holding a hooked staff in his hands appeared. Suddenly, the staff glowed and struck Zeke down. "Oh, did I forget to mention that whenever my gravekeeper's curse is summoned you take 500LP damage." explained Cody as Zeke got up.

3300LP-Zeke

4000LP-Cody

"Pretty good Cody, not a bad start. I'll end my turn because I got nothing left to do." Zeke said with a grin on his face.

"Draw!" declared Cody as he drew the next card. "I now tribute my gravekeeper's Curse for my Gravekeeper's Chief in attack mode (1900/1200). I then play the field magic card, Necrovalley!" declared Cody as a valley rose from the ground and surrounded the duelist's. Cody's two monsters then glowed with a strong aura (GS-1700/2500, GK-2400/1700).

"What's going on Cody? Why did your monsters get stronger like that?" Zeke inquired.

"My field magic card increases the attack and defense of all monsters with "Gravekeeper's" in its name by 500 points. Also, my field magic card prevents magic, trap and monster effects involving our graveyards." Cody explained. "Oh, before I forget, My Gravekeeper's Chief's effect allows my graveyard to be unaffected by my field magic card. Also, when he's special summoned, I get to summon a monster with "Gravekeeper's" in its name. I'll summon back my Gravekeeper's Curse but now stronger than ever because of my field magic (1300/1300). Don't forget, he deals 500LP damage to you when he's summoned." Cody said with a smirk on his face. "I told you, you're nothing but a dropout-boy. You'd better forfeit, so you can escape the humiliation."

2800LP-Zeke

4000LP-Cody

"I won't give up Cody. If I forfeit this, it'll be worse than losing to you in battle." Zeke said.

"Fine, I shift my spy into attack mode and I attack your pitiful knight with my Chief." Declared Cody as his monster ran up to the knight to deal it a fatal blow with his staff.

"Not so fast, I reveal my facedown mirror force!" shouted Zeke triumphantly as the Chief's attack reflected of an invisible surface, destroying all of Cody's monsters.

"You'll pay for that dropout! I'll reveal my facedown traps, Rite of Spirit times two . This allows me to summon a monster with "gravekeeper's" in their name. I'll summon my Gravekeeper's Chief and Curse back. I forgot to mention, my traps are unaffected my Necrovalley's effect." Said Cody angrily as two his previous monsters returned to the field. Gravekeeper's Curse's staff then glowed again, dealing another 500LP damage to Zeke.

2300LP-Zeke

4000LP-Cody

"Don't think you've won yet Cody, I'll reveal my facedown, Blast with Chain card. Which I will equip to my Gearfried." declared Zeke with a smile.

"Are you nut's dropout-boy, you know perfectly well that Gearfried with any equip cards!" Cody said with a confused look on his face.

"Yeah, you're right, but that's what I'm counting on, now, my blast with chain detonates and it's taking your Chief with it!" declared Zeke as the weapon attached to his warrior's arm exploded with a blast large enough to take the Chief down.

"No…I end my turn dropout." declared Cody.

"I draw!" declared Zeke as he drew his next card. "I then play the magic card, Card of Demise, which allows me to draw five new cards." declared Zeke as he drew five more cards. As he looked through his new cards, his eyes immediately widened as he looked at the last card he drew. This is the card Flak gave me…I can win with this card, but I don't have enough to tribute for it... Wait a sec…Zeke thought as he looked through his hand again. "I've one this Cody." Zeke declared.

"What make you so sure about that?" Cody inquired.

"Just watch. I first play the magic card, Cost Down, which allows me to lower the levels of the monsters in my hand by two, for the cost of discarding a card from my hand. I then tribute my Gearfried for the PERFECT MACHINE KING (2700/1500)!" Zeke declared as a humanoid machine twice the size of Zeke appeared onto the field. It had black and white armor, with missile launchers on its right shoulder, but what was unusual about this creature was that it had a dark aura around it, which then was seen around Zeke.

"What's going on? I thought the Perfect Machine King was White and Red!" exclaimed Blake.

"Yeah, it is…But that's nothing compared to the aura around it…something about it seems evil…" Max said.

Zeke… Jia silently thought.

"What is that thing?" demanded Cody.

Silence was all that followed from Zeke's mouth.

"Well answer me dropout!" declared Cody.

"What this is Cody…" Zeke said with his eyes closed. "…Is you doom!" Shouted Zeke opening his eyes to reveal eyes filled with malice. "I then play the magic card, Pump Up which doubles the attack of my monster for the rest of the turn!" declared Zeke evilly as his machine grew in size (5400/1500). "It's not over yet! I also play the magic card, Double Attack, which allows me to discard my Tri-Horned Dragon to allow my king to attack twice!" Zeke declared as a Plasma Cannon appeared on its left shoulder. "That's not all; I also play the magic cards United we Stand and Scapegoat, giving my King a 4000 attack point boost! (9400/1500) " Zeke said as four sheep appeared onto the field, which gave the machine an energy boost which revealed a gatling cannon in it's right arm. "I then play the Equip card, Axe of Despair, which increases my machines attack be 1000 (10400/1500)" Zeke declared as a demonic axe appeared in his machine's hand which the machine had put into a launcher non it's right arm. "I finally play the equip spell, Mage power, which gives my king a 1500 attack and defense boost!" decalred Zeke as his machine's chest opened up to reveal a magical cannon which immediately charged up with magical energy. "Now my Perfect Machine King, Dual Flawless barrage!" Zeke shouted out as his monster released everything it had onto his opponent's monster, completely obliterating it, leaving an evilly laughing Zeke and a passed out Cody.

2300LP-Zeke

0LP-Cody

"That was overkill Zeke, and you know it!" Shouted out Max.

"Yeah, so what? The Bastard got what he deserved." Zeke replied with a smirk on his face.

"What's wrong with you Zeke? You've never acted like this before, what happened?" asked Blake.

"I tasted true power, that's what happened." Zeke replied coldly as he turned off his duel disk. Suddenly, the aura around him disappeared and his eyes returned to their normal dark brown color. "Hey, guys…sorry about what I said, I guess I kinda snapped back there with Cody calling me a dropout and stuff…" Zeke said apologetically as he walked towards the four.

"Don't worry, we forgive you…Whoa!" Jia exclaimed for Zeke had just passed out leaving her to catch him.

Meanwhile, in a dark cave on the island, a man hidden by the shadows looked into the orb which showed the recent duel. "This is perfect, exactly as planned. Now the dark seed is planted and soon, Zeke. Soon, you'll be mine…" The man said before laughing evilly.
