A.N. This chpt is the Abandoned Dorm chpt. Jaden's friends will have hints of his being an OZ operative through Titan, who knows of Jaden by reputation and Vendetta. Titan also has a deck that I constructed for him, so leave all expectations at the door. This chpt will also reveal a bit of Jaden's past as an OZ operative, and a major antagonist that will fight Jaden through puppets that it possesses.

The Abandoned Dorm and the Flash of Lightning

Duel Academy: Slifer Red Dorm three days later; Midnight.

Jaden had convinced the Alexis and Bastion to join the normal group, him Syrus and Chumley, at the Slifer Red dorm for a camp out, seeing as how the dorm was in a state of disrepair enough for it to be considered outside. So here they were, sitting around a large poker table on the bottom floor of the Slifer dorm and passing the time telling Ghost and Scary stories using monster cards; with the, as Jaden termed it, "fear factor" being increased for every star level that the monsters had. Syrus had just done a fairly amusing story, in his opinion at least, about some dirty water in a cave trying to swallow him up. He chuckled as he drew: "That was a good story for a 5 star card. Let's see what I can pull out for my draw." He drew the card Musha Gundam (Monster; 12 Star, Earth, Machine, Effect: This monster can only be summoned when you have no monsters on your field and are losing by 1,000 life points or more. It cannot attack on the turn that is summoned by any means other than discarding three cards to the graveyard. This Monster gains 2,000 attack and defense for each card in your graveyard. 5,000 Atk/Def), this caused everyone to jump slightly. Syrus and Chumley quickly tried to excuse themselves for various bull shit reasons but Jaden wouldn't have it.

"What's the matter? Don't you want to hear of the Second Fall of Babylon? You see several years ago, the Ancient City of Babylon once again rose from the Sand. Their undead duelists began to haunt the desert challenging all that they came across, if you lost your soul was forfeit to the ancient evil that dwelt within the city and your body became food for the Zombie inhabitants of the city. They plagued the Middle East for two years, making the evil grow in power due to the numerous souls sacrificed to their dark deity." The two Slifer Red students were shaking and hugging each other in fear while Alexis and Bastion were on the edge of their seats. Jaden paused for dramatic emphasis before continuing: "Eventually OZ was called in to deal with the Necropolis that Babylon had become. They sent only one operative though, the 'Lightning Count;' the youngest OZ operative in the history of the Corporation. It took him a while to get to Babylon, but when he did he found the city rebuilt to its former grandeur and the Zombie inhabitants going about their days like normal people."

"However when he got into the city the Zombies began to attack him. He used his skills to easily make his way through the city, eliminating the Zombies with anything he could. After hours of fighting his way through seemingly endless horrors he found himself in the main temple. In the center was a Machine Card, Necron Lord of the Host (12 Stars, Darkness, Machine, Effect: This card can summon Four Necron Warrior Tokens, 1400 Atk and Def, per turn. This monster can instantly destroy all non machine Monsters of lesser level then it. 5,000 Atk/ 6,000 Def). It had apparently possessed the inhabitants of the ancient city and turned them to its service. He knew what he had to do, he had to destroy the card, or at least get it away from the Temple."

"However before the Count could act, the caretaker of the temple challenged him to a shadow game. It was a brutal match that lasted for an hour, the two trading blows and spells quickly. Whenever one's lifepoints dropped a part of their body would become part machine, to serve as a vessel for the Necron Lord's will. He finally one when he played Colony Drop. But the nightmare was not over yet; the Necron Lord attempted to posses him. Their souls clashed higher and higher until finally the Count won. When he awoke from his unconsciousness he found this card on his chest in place of the Necron Lord of the Host."

The group was shocked at this story and descended into a comfortable silence. Alexis broke this silence: "How do you know this?" Jaden just smiled impishly: "My dad and I still have contacts in OZ so I was able to find out easily." At that point they heard banner's somewhat creepy laugh echo as he appeared between the two Slifers. What happened next was exactly what Jaden hopped would happen, Banner joined in and told them of the Abandoned Dorm; thus giving him an excuse to bring up going there, mostly to see if he could find out how Atticus disappeared.

What they did not know was that Crowler had been listening in and had come up with another "ingenious" plan to remove Jaden from the academy. He would hire Titan to scare Jaden into leaving the Academy. (The meeting was Cannon)

Abandoned Dorm: 2 more days later

Jaden whirled around when he heard a scream that his brain quickly identified as Alexis. He sub consciously snarled when he heard it. He had offered to stay and keep her company when he found her placing flowers at the gate, but no she refused. Now he, Bastion, Syrus, and Chumley had to find her in a crappy knock off of every Haunted Mansion ever. So Jaden was somewhat pissed, but at the same time he was concerned for her safety. When they finally found her she was trussed up and gagged on a chair facing them, she was out cold but unmolested as far as Jaden could tell. An ominous shadow then fell on them, when they turned they saw a monstrously sized man in a trench coat and mask standing there.

The man grinned evilly: "When I accepted the contract to scare Jaden Yuki away from this academy I never expected this. I never expected that you would be the one I swore vengeance against. Tonight I shall have my revenge, in a Shadow Game! Or you will never see your friend again due to powerful Shadow Wards around her that will only dissipate if you accept!" The man had activated his duel disk during his semi-psychopathic rant. Jaden smirked as he activated his duel disk: "You'll have to be more specific. I have a hell of a lot of mother fuckers who have sworn vengeance against me." At this point Alexis had woken up enough to be aware of what was happening.

Jaden: 4000 Life points

Titan: 4,000 Life Points

Jaden's hand: MS Tallgeese, MS Tallgeese II (Lvl. 6, Light, Machine, Effect: Tallgeese II can be summoned without paying a sacrifice as long as at least one card is in either player's graveyard. This card also gains five hundred atk and def for each card in your grave. 2500 Atk/ 2000 Def), MS Tallgeese III (Lvl. 7, Machine, Light, Effect: By dropping this card's attack by half for one turn it can attack your opponent directly. Also if both Tallgeese I and II are in the grave the atk and def of this monster are doubled. 3000 Atk/ 3000 Def), Dawn of the New Era (Spell: Pay 1,000 life points. All cards in play are destroyed when this card is played. You can then summon a MS or Gundam to the field instantly.), and Tenryo (Equip Spell: Triples the attack of Musha Gundam and allows it to attack your opponent directly.)

Titan's hand: Armageddon (Field Spell: Destroys all cards in play. This card then increases the attack and defense of all Fiend type monsters by 1500.), Phantom Soldier (Fiend, Darkness, lvl 4, Normal. Description: A blue muscle-bound sword wielding Demon, he is one of the thousands of his kind who serve as Hell's vanguard. 1400 atk and def.), Phantom Captain (Fiend, Darkness, lvl 7, Effect: This monster can call up to three Phantom Soldiers to its side from your hand, deck, or graveyard. 2500 atk/ 1500 def), The Destroyer (Fiend, Darkness, lvl 12, Effect: This monster can only be summoned by removing three cards from play. 6,000 atk/ 10,000 Def.), Demonic Fury (Equip Spell: This card triples the attack and defense of one Fiend type monster. At the end of the turn the monster is destroyed and you suffer the original attack of the monster as life point damage.), and Fortress of Hell (Field Spell: Increases the attack and defense of all Fiends by 2,000. This card can only be played after Armageddon has been played.). He then drew Dark Sacrifice (Continuous Trap: By sacrificing one card per attack you can negate any attack that your opponent makes.).

With a dark and twisted grin Titan began his turn: "I summon Phantom Soldier in attack mode!" The Blue Demonic foot soldier appeared with its massive cleaver style sword at the ready. He then played a card face down (Dark Sacrifice) and ended his turn. However while this had been going on Jaden's three companions had been smart and freed Alexis but they were quickly restrained by some Demonic looking Growth, causing them to panic somewhat. Jaden though was as cold and calm as ice. He quickly drew MS Ambush before he spoke: "So, you went to her for power. I thought that you Renegade Rare Hunters were made of sterner stuff then that."

Syrus and the others were confused: "Renegade Rare Hunter?" That temporarily brought the two duelists out of their focus; Jaden laughed sheepishly when he realized his friends were still there and Titan chuckled somewhat nervously as well because he had forgotten about his hostage. Jaden then spoke: "A Renegade Rare Hunter is someone who utilizes similar means to the people employed by Marik, but mostly go after law abiding duelists instead of criminals like Marik's bunch do." He then turned back to Titan: "Seriously though, I know you're a Renegade rare Hunter, but what is your issue with me?" Titan roared with anger: 'Don't play innocent! You know what you did! Remember Zanzibar, 2008?"

At this Jaden doubled over laughing and pointed at him: "You…You're the guy….that…that I castrated with a card because you pissed off Pegasus' adopted daughter! Oh I needed that laugh. Anyways I summon MS Tallgeese in attack mode!" The white armored and red crested monster arose from a kneeling position and drew its beam saber: "And I'll have him attack your Phantom Soldier!" Titan smirked: "I activate my face down: Dark Sacrifice! I discard one card(Phantom Captain) to nullify your attack!" Jaden subconsciously snarled: "I place one card face down (MS Ambush) and end my turn."

Titan laughed darkly as he drew Hell's Army (Spell: Summon up to three Fiend type monsters with 7 stars or less. However you cannot attack this turn.): "I play Armageddon!" Thousands of Meteorites crashed into the field turning into small demons that quickly cleared the field of everything. The field then morphed into a blasted red wasteland with numerous rocky spires rising from the ground. Titan's smile then grew even more sinister: "Welcome Jaden Yuki, to Hell on Earth! As you just saw this card destroys everything on the field. However it also increases the attack and defense of all Fiends by 1,500! I play Hell's Army! This card allows me to bring back Phantom Soldier, Phantom Captain, and summon Berserker(lvl 7, Fiend, Darkness, Effect: For every 'Phantom' in play or in the grave this card gains 500 attack and defense. 3000 Atk and 1,000 Def.) in attack mode!" The three blue Demons then rose from the ground in their portals. The Captain looked like the Soldier but with heavy armor covering his form and a double edged two handed cleaver with two spikes at the end of the blades. The Berserker though was the same size as the Mobile Suit cards and was covered in golden armor with a massive axe the size of Jaden's entire body. The monsters attack jumped up to 2,900; 4,000; and 5,500 respectively.

But before Jaden's friends could panic too much Jaden commented on the card: "That is one powerful card combo. However you can't attack this turn because of Hell's Army's effect." Titan was unable to keep a snarl out of his voice as he responded: "True. But I can wait one more turn to send your soul to my Mistress!" Jaden just raised an eyebrow, as he drew his Musha Gundam card: "Did you say something Titan? I couldn't hear you for all the hot air you were blowing! I play Dawn of a New Era, by paying one thousand lifepoints all cards on the field are destroyed! But that's not all! I summon Musha Gundam in attack mode! Next I place one card face down (Tenryo)." After the hellish field and its inhabitants were destroyed a Red Samurai Armored Gundam appeared with a trident in its hands, a Katana at its side, a Naginata on its back, and what appeared to be an old fashioned flit lock musket also on its back. Musha Gundam's total attack is currently 11,000. Titan drew back in fear, the only monster that he had that had a chance to defeat that monster was his Destroyer card; but he didn't have enough cards to discard to summon it! He threw down a smoke bomb and attempted to escape, but before he could he felt a presence overwhelm him.

When the smoke cleared Titan was walking back into the Arena, but his eyes were glowing a sickly yellow with a slit-like pupil. When he spoke it grated against their nerves as he reactivated his disk: "I apologize for my pawn's attempt to flee. This Shadow game shall continue!" The possessed duelist then drew Darkest Ritual (Ritual Spell: Removes three cards from the user's grave yard to summon the Destroyer.) (Currently Titan has 6 cards in his grave and Jaden has 3). The creature smiled maliciously: "I play Darkest Ritual! This allows me to remove three cards from my graveyard to summon The Destroyer!" A massive dragon that seemed to be made of lava appeared out of a raging portal of Hell Fire. Alexis was horror struck by these creatures that Titan kept playing, they seemed to tear at her sanity; Bastion, Syrus, and Chumley weren't fairing much better either. But the possessed duelist then suppressed them even further: "I then equip my Destroyer with Demonic Fury! At the end of my turn the Destroyer is destroyed and I suffer its attack points as damage however you won't survive that long!" The massive molten dragon then grew twice as large before its eyes turned a blood red; 18,000 Atk. Titan then motioned his monster to attack; but Jaden was ready for this. "I equip Tenryo to Musha Gundam!" Said Monster then grabbed a massive Nodachi with a golden wrapped handle and a golden hand guard, which increased his attack to 33,000! Causing the Duel to end rather dramatically with the Dragon being beheaded and Titan's body being swallowed by a portal much like the ones from which his monsters had.

Alexis spoke for everyone when she said: "Jaden, we need to talk."

End.

Finalized Harem:

Alexis

Mrs. Fontaine

Dark Magician Girl

Uriel/Yubel's true self or her good half (Whatever you prefer to call her)

And Yasmin (Grave Keeper's Assailant)

Yes it has different characters in it then my initial concept, but I think it would work better, both for my writing and for you having fewer main characters to deal with.
