Notme: Sorry for the long wait, guys.
(Cyclonus and Demolishor are covered in dust from being in sleep mode so long)
Notme: (Kicks the two over in a domino effect) WAKE UP!!
Cyclonus: I'm up!
Demolishor: What's for breakfast?
Obsidian: Let's just get on with this, shall we?
Shadow: This will be the first chapter to show Ultimate's character GX, short for Godzilla X.
A Glitter of Hope
It had taken Zane a very long time to convince himself to go to sleep. His mind kept replaying Blizz's death over and over again. He was worried he wouldn't be able to think of anything else. He finally drifted off after a while. He thought of when the two of them first met, over a year ago.
(Dream Sequence)
(Play "Move Along" by All-American Rejects)
Zane was at Duel Academy, sitting at his desk. Dr. Crowler was lecturing the class about what to do when your opponent has an Egyptian God in play. One of his classmates had jokingly suggested surrendering. The screen came on, with Chancellor Sheppard's face on it.
"Crowler," he said, "if you're not too busy giving the class impossible odds to beat, there's a new student right outside." "Let them in," Crowler replied. The door opened, and a girl with blond hair and blue eyes walked in. She was wearing a standard Obelisk uniform, except the blue was a shade paler. "Go ahead," Sheppard said, "introduce yourself to the class." The girl nodded. "My name is Blizzeta Drake," she said, "but please call me Blizz, for short."
Most of the boys were ready to rip each other to shreds for the chance to date Blizz, but Zane just looked at her quietly. She was the most beautiful girl he had ever seen, and he knew this was love at first sight.
--
It was now a week later, very late at night. Zane had just beaten Blizz in a very close duel, and thus proven himself worthy of dating her. He knew, however, that Blizz had let him win, but didn't pressure her about it. "That had to be one of the best duels I've ever played," he said. "It wasn't all that good," Blizz replied, "it was too short." "It's not the actual match I enjoyed the most," Zane continued, "It's the first time I can rightfully say I got something from winning."
"And what's that?" Blizz asked, though she wasn't hiding the fact that she already knew the answer. "The ability to do this," Zane replied, before kissing her. He pulled away after a few seconds. They then started off back towards the dorms.
Not that long after, Blizz tripped on something and fell. Zane ran over to her and saw that she was okay, except for the fact that she had obviously hurt her ankle. 'What did I trip over?" she asked.
Zane looked around, and saw what looked to be a sword embedded, scabbard-and-all, into the ground. He figured he'd better move it before someone else tripped, but when he touched it, he immediately pulled his hand away because it was extremely cold. "What is it?" Blizz asked him. "I don't know," Zane replied, "but I think we can just leave it here." He picked Blizz up bridal-style and started to carry her to the infirmary.
(End Dream Sequence)
Zane was puzzled. "Why would I dream about a mishap?" he asked himself. "Wait, maybe the mishap wasn't the important part. Maybe, it was that sword I found." He got out of his tent and went to tell Obsidian about his dream.
(That morning)
Obsidian had the New Ark ready for action again. "Where are we going?" Light asked. "Duel Academy," Obsidian replied, "there's an important artifact there that we need to recover." Everyone went onto the ship, which then warped back to Academy Island.
((Sheppard's office))
Crowler was going through all the paperwork he and Sheppard never had time for when the GX gang was actually at school. "Hey, teach," Jaden said as he, Zane, and Obsidian appeared in the room, scaring Crowler half to death. "Jaden Yuki!" Crowler said, "How many times have I told you not to appear out of thin air right in front of me?" "Uh, none," Jaden replied, "this is the first time I've ever done it."
"Well, don't do it again," Crowler said sternly. "Where's Chancellor Sheppard?" Obsidian asked, "I need to speak with him about something only he knows about the school grounds." He didn't notice that the screen was on, with Seto Kaiba's face showing.
"Anything Sheppard knows about this school," Kaiba said, "I know as well." "What do you know of the sword placed here at the school's founding for safe-keeping?" Obsidian asked. "I know that it's in the forest," Kaiba, "near where the Sacred Beasts are kept." "Sweet," Jaden said, "Seto Kaiba. I'd really love to duel you sometime!" "Ah, yes," Kaiba replied, "Jaden Yuki, is it, the winner of my contest a while back, and the best duelist in my academy? I'm looking forward to the chance to duel you myself. But that isn't why I called. It's about the loss of one of our former students. Miss Blizzeta Drake, I believe."
Jaden then remembered how Damien had heartlessly murdered Blizz the day before, and his star-struckedness went away in a flash. "I could point out the guy who did it in one of your largest stadiums," he said. "And I could throw him clear to the moon if need be," Zane added coldly.
"Kaiba," Obsidian said, "what do you know about the story of the Ice Queen?" "I only know what I've been told by your friends, the Lopezes," Kaiba replied, "about how she was an incredibly powerful, and beautiful, sorceress."
"The legend goes that if her sword, shield, and amulet are ever brought together," Obsidian said, "her one true heir will receive her powers, and be brought back from the dead no matter who or what killed them, or how long ago they died." Zane couldn't help but wonder about all this. "Tell me," he said, "is Blizz, you know, the heir?" "There's no way to be certain," Obsidian replied, "until two of the items touch, of course."
(The forest)
"These trees are not tall-high enough," Lewa griped. "What do you expect?" Light asked, "these trees aren't nearly as old as the ones you remember." "Whoa," Syrus said, "did you tutor Light or something, V?" "Nope," Vanessa replied, "Li gets this way whenever he's serious." Light blushed when Vanessa used his nickname.
Waspinator was still in the forest from the time Darkstone was there. "At least here," he said, "Waspinator can't get blown up." A tree promptly fell on him. "That's the fifth tree you've crashed into since we got here," Whenua said to Matau.
Essence's comlink starts beeping. "What is it?" she asked "We know where the sword is," Obsidian said on the other end, "it's near where the Sacred Beasts are." "Alright," Essence replied, "over and out."
They quickly found the area, since Syrus, Chazz, and Alexis wouldn't forget where the most dangerous duel fought at Duel Academy was fought. Hunter quickly found the sword and went to pick it up.
"Stop right there, Drake!" Hunter stopped dead in his tracks when he heard that voice. It was none other than War Machine. "You're not touching that sword," War continued. "I don't have time to deal with you right now, War," Hunter said. Hunter went back to retrieving the sword, when he heard the unmistakable roar of Godzilla. "You brought GX!?" Light asked.
"I came here by my own choosing," a voice said. It belonged to what appeared to be Zilla (that's the American Godzilla, who's just as cool as the Japanese version), but with heavy cybernetic reconstruction. "We'll be taking that," he continued, motioning toward the sword inches from Hunter's hand.
War walked over to try to take the weapon, but his path was blocked off by streams of lightning from above them. Flying overhead was what appeared to be a fully robotic version of King Ghidorah. "That sword belongs to Darkstone," he said. "Didn't we already kill that thing?" Knuckles asked. "That was the knockoff created by those foolish Quintessons," the robot replied, "I am the real Cyber-Ghidorah!"
GX let loose a stream of dark flames at Cyber, who dodged and retaliated with his lightning. GX took the attack without any real reaction, and activated his jetpack, flying up to take on Cyber directly. "You fool," Cyber said, "this is my element. You have no hope here!" "Maybe not in your element," GX replied, "but, what about mine?"
He landed on Cyber's back and drove them over the water, and then turned off his jetpack. "You're too heavy!" Cyber yelled, "I can't fly alone with you on me!" "Exactly," GX replied. The two of them plummeted into the sea.
Cyber was lucky he was a robot, since he didn't need to breathe. He knew, however, that GX was still partially organic, and therefore needed oxygen, so he wrapped his tails and necks around his opponent. GX flailed about trying to free himself, and eventually switched to his human form and swam to the surface. Cyber followed after switching to his cyborg form. They continued their fight on the beach. GX was wearing all black, and Cyber's armor resembled that of Jinzo, only gold, and he had Ghidorah head designs on his gauntlets, along with a Ghidorah-stylized helmet obscuring his face.
Cyber started firing his arm cannon at GX, who dodged every shot. GX returned to his monster form and stomped Cyber into the ground. Cyber transformed as well, throwing GX off balance as he returned to his full monster size.
When GX got back to his feet, Cyber charged his gravity beams again. GX retaliated by using his own breath weapon to blow off Cyber's middle head. Cyber sent a gravity beam at GX from his right head, but GX turned it so that Cyber severed his own left head with it. Cyber then tried to fly away, but GX fired missiles at his wings, filling them with holes and rendering them useless. Cyber fell to the ground, landing hard.
During that battle, Hunter attempted to grab the sword, but jerked his hand back because it was too cold for him to touch. "Let me do it," Nuju said, as he touched the sword, able to pick it up. "It's a little cold," he said, "but I can handle it."
Obsidian arrived on the scene. "Quickly," he said, holding out a bag, "put that in here!" Nuju did as he was told. Cyber then crashed near them, obviously having lost the battle. "Now give us that sword," War said. "Let them be," GX said when he arrived, exhausted, "I'm too tired to fight them, and there's no way you'd be able to take them all on at once." "Good point," War replied, "we'll be back!" They both went into a portal leading back to the rest of the Forces.
"Good work, Hunter," Obsidian said, "War was here, and you didn't try to tear him limb from limb." "I'm angrier at Damien at this point," Hunter replied, "besides; the total rage I feel towards War vanished when Dad split the two of us."
Cyber reverted to his cyborg form, his armor critically damaged. He started to crawl towards the gang. "Please," he said weakly, "help me." "Why should we?" Syrus asked. "I can tell you where the next artifact is," Cyber replied, "but I'm not gonna last much longer in this state. My armor is a life-support system for me. If it fails, I'll die."
"I have no idea how to repair the armor while it's still attached," Obsidian said, "I'd have to remove it." "You can't," Cyber replied, "It was fused to me when Darkstone used a strange weapon he borrowed from a Makuta by the name of Teridax." "Teridax?" Vakama said, in total surprise, "as in the Makuta of Metru Nui?" Cyber did his best to shrug. "I have no idea," he said.
Obsidian helped Cyber up and warped him into the sickbay on the New Ark. Ratchet jumped when the two of them appeared. "You brought an enemy onto your ship?" Ratchet asked. "He's got info we need," Obsidian replied, "help me get him into a stasis chamber." Ratchet opened a stasis chamber and placed Cyber into it.
"The next artifact you need to revive Ms. Drake is on Prison Island," Cyber said. "You mean the island where Shadow was held for 50 years?" Obsidian asked. Cyber nodded, and then waited for the stasis chamber he was in to activate.
Shadow: Why Prison Island?
Notme: Don't question me!
Hunter: Alright, next time: Battle of Prison Island!
All: Till then!
