6 months after Jaden's disappearance…
"Are there any last questions?" Yugi asked the gang. They all looked at each other, but none spoke up. "Well that was expected. I know this is a lot to throw at you, but I believe that all of us can do this. We have trained hard and long these past 6 months." Takato said with a smile. "I think you just stole my line…" Yugi interrupted. Takato then threw Yugi a look of pure evil and Yugi got the hint to not say anything else. "By the way, something's been bugging me." Takato began again. He walked over to Teana and stared at her for a bit. She started to get nervous as she peered into Takato's green eyes. Her strong standing began to weaken much like Hinata of Naruto. Teana was breaking; she couldn't hide it any longer. The guilt inside her was far too much for her innocent personality to contain. And then it burst out, "I HAD SEX WITH SYRUS!" Takato was the only one whose facial expression didn't change. Kaiba stared at Yugi in shock at the following consequences, Alexis and Hikari both started to blush, Chazz and Hassleberry were giving Syrus high-fives, Syrus was about to wet himself, and Yugi suddenly passed out on the floor. Joey kneeled over Yugi trying to wake him back up. Mai took this time to give Teana a thumbs-up, while Teana stared at her father thinking he was gonna to kill her in HIS sleep. Takato merely said, "I love my eyes." And then he started to leave the room. "Where are you going, Takato?" Mai spoke. He had a serious look on his face. "To find my son…" This silenced the room. "I'm… I'm going with you!" Alexis shouted. Takato stopped in his tracks. "You are more than friends with Jaden, aren't you?" She gulped and merely nodded. "I guess I should be happy that he has found someone who cares for him so." Takato then left the room without Alexis. She stood there in tears. "Well…" he said laughing, "are you coming or was that all just talk?" Alexis smiled and cried, and then followed Takato down the hall.
One day, and a couple of anger management sessions/happy-pills for Yugi later…
"So…" Joey said gently, "you had gone ta' return Teana's card to her at her dorm. Where you knew dat' going there would be a risk. And then girls caught ya; that's when Teana saved youse'. Then da' nurse came and Teana had to hide you, so she chose her own room. Then you VOLUNTEERED to sleep on da' floor, and she said no. Finally, when she let ya' into her bed, SHE kissed you and den' IT happened." Teana and Syrus both nodded in shame. Joey, Mai, and Kaiba looked at each for a few seconds and agreed on a final decision. "Well it sounds like all your fault." Mai said pointing to Syrus. "WHAT?" he responded in a shrill voice. "Why couldn't you have been like other school kids and just keep the card for yourself?" Mai asked. Joey shook his head in agreement. "Idiot." That word was all Kaiba said before leaving the room. Kaiba looked at his watch, and got up. "Get all your little friends together, we're leaving… like now!" Teana and Syrus looked at each other in confusion. This threw Kaiba into a sudden calm rage, much like Dr. Cox from Scrubs. "Did you go deaf? I'll tell you what, you have ten seconds to find your damn friends and get them up to the fucking rooftop. Or I will kick a hole in that deflated balloon of yours that you call a head that will be so hellishly deep, it will be pronounced bottomless." There was a puff of smoke where Teana and Syrus were sitting.
"Yugi…" Kaiba said, as he entered the room. "We're all set to leave. Meet us on the rooftop in 5 minutes or we're leaving without you." Yugi nodded and turned around to face Kaiba. "It's been a long time since we teamed up… huh, Riku?" a new voice sounded. "It'll be just like old times… Sora." Riku Kaiba responded. Sora Yugi smiled at Riku Kaiba. "So it was you that was facing Joey, not the Pharaoh." Sora Yugi walked away from the center of the room and into the doorway beside Riku Kaiba. "I thought you didn't believe in that sort of stuff." Sora Yugi smiled as he said this. "That means the puzzle on you…" (Clash) "…is a fake." Riku Kaiba said as he and Sora Yugi clashed swords together. "The Keyblade… it's been a while." "Same goes for the Soul-Eater, Riku." Sora Yugi said smiling. They slid away from each other. Riku Kaiba pointed the Soul-Eater at Sora Yugi. Yugi imitated him. He pointed the legendary Keyblade at Riku Kaiba. "This most certainly brings back memories." Sora spoke. "Yeah, but now it's a little different." Riku responded. They slid away from each other again. "Dark Firaga!" Riku yelled. "Zantetsuken!" Sora yelled back. The attacks cancelled each other out. "You don't let yourself get lazy." Sora smiled. They each dispersed their sword and Sora Yugi started to walk off to the elevator. He pushed the rooftop button and the door opened. Joey was found inside. "We'll miss our flight, you two." Yugi and Kaiba proceeded inside the elevator. "You always did hate to be late… Leon."
On the rooftop…
"Why are we all here?" Hikari burst out in an outrage. "Mr. Kaiba just said that we needed to be up here. I don't know why." Syrus said. "Do you really think that we can do this?" Hikari asked quietly. There was a little silence. A hand extended out to the center. "If Jaden were here, you know exactly what he'd say." Hassleberry spoke. The kids looked at his hand. Another one joined in, "We will find him." Syrus said. "I'm not gonna let this twerp show me up." Chazz then put his hand in. Five more hands joined in. "And you can count on us!" Jamie said eagerly. They all put on looks of determination. "Shine disk… on!" They all said. Their new silver duel disks activated. The rescue squad had been assembled. Yugi, Kaiba, and Joey came out of the elevator and onto the roof. Yugi looked at his watch, and then began to speak. "Alright, this is it! Today… we storm Castle Oblivion and take down the Organization. Be careful and show no mercy." The group stood in silence. "Enough of this touchy-feeling crap, where is your wife, Wheeler?" Kaiba shouted. The sound of two helicopters rang through the air. They approached the top of Kaiba Corp. "Did somebody call?" A female voice sounded on an intercom. "Mom?" Samantha shouted in confusion, "Since when do you know how to fly a helicopter, let alone two?" There was no one in the cockpit of the other helicopter. "Remote control!" she called out on the intercom. The gust of wind from the blades was about to blow everyone away. "No, the important thing is dat' you know now." Joey responded. They landed the helicopters on the pads and hopped out. "Ok, is everyone ready?" Mai said strictly. "And we won't be stopping for any potty breaks… dat' means you, Veronica." Joey said, embarrassing Veronica. "And Teana." Yugi added. "And Hikari." Kaiba said finishing the talk. Veronica, Teana, and Hikari were all blushing. "We will split up in two teams. Those two teams will be in their own helicopters." Takato explained. "Alright, let's go."
The Helicopters took off into the distance. Silence filled both of the helicopters. Yugi and Joey were in one chopper; Kaiba and Mai were in another. "Yugi, can you read me?" Mai said, speaking into the transmitter. "Yes, we seem to be approaching the island. Turn on the cloaking device in ten seconds." Yugi responded. "Gotcha." Mai answered. Mai motioned to Kaiba, the pilot, to push the button. The helicopter became invisible as they rushed towards the destination. "The Bermuda Triangle?" Syrus spoke up, "That's where we are headed? Oh man, there aren't any happy ending stories about this place." Syrus began to rant about the whole ideal. "Hey… Sex and the City boy… will you calm down?" Mai said. Syrus quickly sat down in his seat. Attention! We are now crossing the time border, Mr. Kaiba. "Mai… tell Yugi and the others to turn on their collars now. And the rest of you, push the button on those collars that we gave you now!" They did as they were told. We have now crossed the barrier and are proceeding to unknown building structure. "Good." Kaiba said. An enormous castle came into view in an instant. It seemed hypnotic and never-ending. "There it is…" The helicopters circled around the structure. "This is Castle Oblivion." Yugi finished. He stared at the walls of the place that took the life of his close friend. "Mokuba…" Kaiba said softly with a single tear. "What's that in the sky?" Everyone looked up at the sky at Mai's comment. Red sparkles danced around the helicopters. "Dis' looks like…" Joey began. "Flower petals…?" Kaiba ended. Something hit Yugi right then. "KAIBA!" Yugi yelled. An explosion rang throughout the sky. "The blades!" Mai shouted, "We've been hit!" The cloaking device shut down, and the helicopter began to swirl in the air and dive to the ground. "All of youse' hang on to something!" Joey said, as he turned to tell his passengers. But a large blade split the chopper in two before his eyes. Time seemed to stop. "Dad?" Jamie spoke softly as he was split from his father. Joey looked on with despair. "JAMIE!" (Another explosion) The helicopters fell to the island in large explosions.
"What is that?" Jaden said looking onto the explosions in the sky. "I don't know," said Zane following beside him, "but it looks like someone tried to land on the island." Jaden looked upon the falling debris and wondered. "Wondering if it's someone you know?" a voice said from the shadows. Zane and Jaden immediately turned around and braced themselves. "Relax, Jaden, it's me… and one of your friends." Takato spoke as he and Alexis walked out of the forest. "Jaden… is that really you?" Alexis said, almost bursting into tears. "Why did you leave? What are you doing here with Zane?" She took a step forward, but Jaden took a step back. "I have no business with you anymore." he said solemnly. It broke her heart. All she could do was look upon the face of the person she loved most. And he would only look her in the eyes with no emotion. There was a bond… but it was now as shattered as Alexis's soul. She fell on her knees in despair. Alexis finally found who she was looking for. But he tossed her aside as a mere rock in his way. "Jaden… we need to go." Zane said darkly. Jaden nodded and proceeded up the staircase to the castle. They took two steps and stopped. "You…" a dark voice violently spoke. Zane and Jaden both turned around to see that something was stirring in Takato. "Jaden… how DARE you treat her like this! She was—IS your girlfriend. You will pay for this…" Takato's eyes glowed a bright yellow as he took out his duel disk. "Shine disk… on!" It activated. Jaden looked upon the face of his father; the one man who he could never beat in a duel. "Those eyes…" Something also stirred in Jaden. "Then I'll show you… my Yubel eyes." Jaden's eyes glowed a green and yellow. "Get your game on… Father!" Zane pierced his eyes. "This is your dad?" Jaden, be careful…I sense something powerful inside of your father. I've never seen such controlled anger. Yubel spoke. Jaden simply ignored the warning. All Alexis could do was stare at the father/son showdown. "Duel!" both Jaden and Takato yelled.
Score: Takato-4000, Jaden-4000.
"You may start, Jaden." Takato said calmly. Jaden scowled, "My move!" He examined his card thoroughly. "I play my Dark Fusion card to fuse my Elemental Villain Avian (1000/1000) and my Poison Burstinatrix (1200/800) to form Elemental Villain Flame Wingman (2100/1200)." The new dark monster appeared by Jaden's side. Takato was filled with rage. "This… this is what you gave up your deck for? The power of darkness is what you wanted?" Takato merely sighed, "I have nothing more to say to you. I'll defeat you… right here and now." Jaden laughed at his remark. "Whatever… I now play this; Crime Lord's Arrival." Alexis and Zane both gasped. "This card can only be played when I have Elemental Villain Flame Wingman on the field. I remove him from play and it lets him evolve… into this!" Jaden's Wingman began to grow into a demon behemoth. "I present to you… Elemental Villain Abyssal Hell Skyman (3000/2500)." It was huge… The monster dominated the field in all its dark glory. Zane and Alexis was left in shock. "And it has a very powerful ability." Jaden said smiling, "It absorbs the attack of every Elemental Heroes, Elemental Villains, or Evil Heroes in the graveyard and there are two… my Avian and my Poison Burstinatrix. That brings its attack points to 5200." The Wingman roared in supremacy. But Takato was unfazed, "Are you done?" Jaden got mad, "The sound of your voice just irritates me… I end my turn with two facedown cards."
Score: Takato-4000, Jaden-4000.
"My move." Takato drew his card. "I play my Mausoleum of the Emperor. Instead of waiting to sacrifice monsters, with this card, I can pay 1000 life points times the number of monsters I need. Now I pay 2000 life points to summon…" Takato's eyes grew even brighter. "Felgrand Dragon." A massive dragon appeared at Takato's side, and roared in pained fury. "What's it doing?" Alexis asked. Takato held his head down. "Those helicopters… Yugi and the others were on them." Alexis gasped and burst into tears. "Felgrand probably senses this tragedy. But nevermind that now, I'll explain later. I end my turn with a facedown."
Score: Takato-2000, Jaden-4000.
"Don't you care about your friends that were on those helicopters?" Takato asked. "Not at all… I could care less whether they died or not. The same goes for her." Jaden responded. Each word was like a dull knife in Alexis's heart. But she refused to shed another tear. It seemed that she formed a resolve. Takato and Zane shot looks at Alexis. "You're… you're Jaden. That's a fact. But that's not his mind!" She yelled. Takato smiled, "She's right and I'm gonna prove it." Jaden just smirked, "You couldn't possibly be meaning that you'll defeat me?" Jaden drew his card. "I play my Foolish Burial card. This allows me to send a monster from my deck to my graveyard. And I choose my Evil Hero Malicious Edge." Jaden slipped the card into the graveyard. "And you know what that means? My Skyman gets his attack points because it's an Evil Hero in the graveyard. Now it has 7800 attack points!" The demon roared at full force. "Attack his precious dragon with Venom Crescent Slash!" The Skyman charged with a fist of darkness. "Not so fast, I play my Negate Attack! This stops your attack and ends your battle phase." Jaden merely sighed, "How disappointing. You hide behind mere traps to give you one more turn. You're just prolonging your defeat." Takato blinked, "I thought I taught you that there is more to a monster than attack points?" Jaden winced, "I agree with you, but this is also an old strategy that seems to be winning right now. I'll end my turn and claim victory on my next."
Score: Takato-2000, Jaden-4000.
Takato drew his card with an unchanged expression. "It's over." These words made Jaden, Zane, and Alexis go into confusion. Jaden started laughing maliciously. "It's over? Ha ha ha, you're pathetic, Dad. And today I'm gonna make sure that everyone knows it on my next turn." Takato red eyes shone in the moonlight. "There won't be a next turn for you because I'm not using my regular deck. It's a deck I had specially made myself to fight against the Organization XIII. It was made to fight the heartless. This is my true deck master… Felgrand Dragon!" Jaden eyes widened. "Witness its power… I play my Heavy Storm. This card destroys all spell and trap cards on the field." Jaden's cards were ripped apart. "It doesn't stop there! I activate Pot of Greed, which lets me draw two more cards. Next up is my Dark Hole spell." Jaden gasped. "This destroys every monster on the field!" Jaden's Hell Skyman and Takato's dragon were dragged under and destroyed. "Next I summon The Creator Incarnate. Then I activate his special ability! By sacrificing my Incarnate, I can summon from my hand… The Creator." A bright light shone from Takato's duel disk. The Creator was summoned to the field. "Now I activate the Creator's special ability! I discard a card from my hand to special summon a monster in my graveyard. I choose to summon my faithful Deck Master… Felgrand Dragon!" The almighty dragon descended upon the field from the sky once again. Jaden could only stand by in fear, as he was defenseless. "I'm far from finished… I activate Felgrand Dragon's special ability! When it is summoned from the graveyard, I can choose a monster from my graveyard, then whatever the level is of that monster, I then multiply it by 200 points. Those points are then added to my Felgrand. So now I choose the card I discarded… Tyrant Dragon! The level of this monster is 8, so it gets 1600 attack points for total of 4400." The dragon roared in the sky as it grew bigger from the point boost. Jaden clenched his teeth. "He turned around this duel in one turn." Zane spoke in awe. "Felgrand Dragon… purify my son's mind with your Felgrand Fire Blast!" The dragon carried out the order with pleasure. Jaden was consumed with pure fire. "Ahhhh!" A bright light then flashed over Jaden's eyes.
He floated in gray nothingness… and he opened his eyes. He opened his mouth but couldn't speak. Where…Where am I? What is this place? Just then, Jaden's chest began to burn. He began to writhe in pain, but couldn't speak out his pain. He could only hear his thoughts. AHHHH! There was no one around to help him. No one could hear his cries or his calling. His chest split apart; something crawled out of him. It was jet-black and had Jaden's body shape. There were no marks, no mouth, and no features of intelligence. Just a moving shadow with glowing eyes… and it was headed for Jaden. He couldn't move. Jaden tried to get out of the way, but his body rejected him. The creature just kept coming and getting more violent. It leaped to attack Jaden, but was cast back. Something had forced the creature into submission, but what? The creature backed away and disintegrated into specks of gray. Jaden was very perplexed, but then he felt warmth behind him. Yubel…? He finally got control of his body, and managed to turn around. It was a boy around his age with a smile on his face. Jaden still couldn't speak, but he had so many questions. The boy extended his hand as if offering to help. Jaden looked at the boy's hand for a second and then put out his own hand. They grabbed each other's and Jaden began to smile. Something he realized he hadn't done in a long time. The light flashed over his eyes again…
