Fate/Alternate War

I'm gonna warn now that this is probably one of the less interesting things I've ever written.

Chapter 8 A Duel of Darkness

"Alright so are we ready?" asked Shawn as he left his room wearing a black t-shirt with a thick vest and black pants. I also had two guns holstered at his lower back along with two more on a belt along with a number of knives shiethed around it.

"Isn't that a little much?" asked Xiaoyu.

"Kid knows what he's doing." said Logan before they heard a car horn. When they went outside there was a van outside.

"Well I wasn't expecting that." said Shawn. "Ah whatever. Let's go." he said before turning. "Hey Kimi. Would you mind telling Taiga that we're not showing up today?"

"Sure." said Kimiko with a smile. "Just be careful."

"Don't worry. I'll come back in one piece. Probably cut up as hell but still in one piece." said Shawn with a smile.

"Do not worry. I'll protect him." said Rider seriously.

"Well let's get going." said Shawn. At that Shawn, Alisa, and Rider entered the van. A few minutes after the doors opened and they found themselves in a large lab of some kind. Though since Rider had her blind fold on she was all she could really tell is that the place in question was quite large and that they weren't alone.

"Alright now that you're all here you will be each given a portable terminal. In case you are seperated they will allow us to keep track of you and you to find each other." said a man handing each of them a small terminal. "Now these are so you can keep in contact in case you are seperated." Each of them was given an earpiece which extended enough to be near the user's mouth. Each of them put the earpieces on. "Alright now I think we're just missing one person."

"We are?" asked Shawn confused.

"Not anymore." they heard a voice say. Alisa and Rider turned while Shawn placed a hand on his face.

"Don't tell me." said Shawn sounding exasperated.

"Aw what's wrong?" said the same voice teasingly. Shawn turned and sure enough it was just who he though.

"Who are you?" asked Rider.

"She's my cousin Laura." replied Shawn.

"I was not aware you had other cousins." said Alisa.

"Look I'll explain later. For now let's just get going." said Shawn. Laura smiled and the four walked up to a platform.

"Alright now be careful and keep in contact." said the guy in white. The four nodded and a silver veil appeared behind them which then passed through them. Within a few seconds they found themselves in an enormous desert.

"Alright now where do we go?" asked Shawn. A few seconds after another silver veil appeared behind them from which two motorcycles appeared. One red and gold and the other black and silver. Each had a helmet with matching colors. "Sweet." he said getting onto the red bike while Laura got onto the black one. "Hey Rider you wanna ride with me?" Rider simply nodded. Shawn handed her the helmet which she put on as he turned on the bike along with Laura.

"You wanna ride with me?" Laura asked Alisa.

"There is no need. I can fly." said Alisa as her thrusters came out of her back and she took to the air. The four took off ahead.

"So do we know what we're looking?" asked Laura.

"No. I was hoping they'd told you." replied Shawn as Alisa took to a higher part of the sky.

"Hey guys I think I found where we are supposed go." said Alisa.

"Where?" asked Shawn.

"There is a strange building up ahead." said Alisa. "Wait I recognize the building. It looks like Duel Academy."

"Which one?" asked Shawn.

"The one that's on an island."

"Hang on I think I see it." said Shawn. "What do you make of it?" he asked Laura.

"I don't know." said Laura. "But I think we've got company."

"Yeah I heard it too." said Shawn. The two looked up and saw something strange flying over them that wasn't Alisa. All they could tell was that it had demonic wings and a pair of horns. The two kept riding even when the figure began to dive towards them. However Alisa drop kicked it causing it to crash several feet from them. Then Shawn and Laura nodded to each other and hit a red button on each of their bikes causing blue fire to shoot out of the tail pipes and them to go a lot faster. Thanks to this within a few minutes they found themselves at the front of the large building. Then they all got off as Alisa landed and the group proceded inside. "So why'd you decide to join us?" he asked looking at Laura.

"Because we never go in missions together. I mean hell you've never even let me go on any of yours." replied Laura as they entered the building.

"You smell that?" asked Shawn drawing to of his guns.

"Yeah." replied Laura and two metallic claws came out of each of her hands. At that Rider drew her chain and two chainsaws came out of Alisa's arms and onto her wrists. The group prepared but saw what looked like a person who was dragging themselves towards them. However none of them lowered their weapons. Shawn narrowed his eyes before firing a shot at the person's leg. However they kept walking towards them.

"Great. Another Racoon City disaster." said Shawn firing at the "person's" head causing them to fall unmoving. Then he placed his weapons back in their holsters. "Well let's get moving." he said as a fireball formed on his left hand.

"You're a mutant?" asked Laura.

"No. I'm an Elemental." replied Shawn. "Anyway focus X."

"Who are you and what do you want?" a loud voice boomed through darkness of the halls.

"I'm here to duel!" called back Shawn. After that they could almost here a laugh. "Very well. If you think you can then follow the ghoul in front of you to the gym." At that another "person" went near them before turning to leave. Shortly after they were at a door. Then Shawn kicked the door open and the four entered. Shawn looked around until he saw someone whom he recognized which caused his eyes to widen. "Jaden?" he asked in shock.

"It seems you know of me but I believe I know you." said "Jaden".

"Is that really him?" asked Alisa.

"That's a Jaden but it's sure as hell not the one I know." replied Shawn. "I can sense a lot of evil in his heart." he said as his duel disk formed from fire. At that Shawn became Inferno but with his eyes glowing lightly in red.

"Fool!" they heard a voice say as two dark figures stepped forth. "Do you believe you are worthy to duel our king?" asked one of the two.

"Fuck off or I'll kill you." said Inferno as his right hand became covered in a silver gauntlet. One of the two jumped towards him but Shawn drew one of his pistols and fire bright red blasts which threw it back. "Artemis." he said causing the silver weapon to glow before firing off several purple blast which threw the demon back before the weapon known as Artemis vanished. "I've killed demons before and low levels like you are nothing to me." he said turning back to Jaden.

"Impressive." said Jaden with a smirk as he revealed his left arm which then morphed in a duel disk. "Now then shall we."

"Okay even I thought that was gross." said Inferno as he slid his deck into his duel disk. "Game on." he said with his eyes narrowed. "But I believe royalty should go first."

"Well isn't that kind of you?" said Jaden with a smirk drawing. 'Perfect' he though. "I start with the spell Dark Fusion and with it I fuse Elemental Hero Avian with Elemental Hero Wildheart!" he said as a man in green with claws and wings along with a man in a loin cloth and several red tattoos were absorbed into a dark swirl. "With this I summon out Evil Hero Wild Cyclone (Level 8, Earth, Fiend/Fusion/Effect, 1900/2300). Next up I'll place a card face down and end my turn."

"Alright my draw!" declared Inferno. "Dude what happened to you?"

"I let myself become powerful. Nothing more." said Jaden.

"No. I know you. At least the you from back home bro." said Inferno. "I can tell you've let yourself become corrupted by real evil."

"So what?" asked Jaden. "What makes you think you know me?"

"Again because I know the you from back home." replied Inferno. "The Jaden I met taught me a lot of stuff and guess what. I'm bringing that." he said with a smile. "I activate the spell Cosmic Flash!" he declared as the spell appeared before him. "With this I can summon out any level 4 or below Galactic Hero monster from my deck."

"Galactic Hero?" asked Jaden.

"That's right and I call out my Galactic Hero Silent Vampire (Level 4, Dark, Zombie/Effect, 1400/1600) to the field!" Inferno said as a girl in a white shirt and black skirt appeared in front of him. "Next up I sacrifice my Silent Vampire." he said as his monster was absorbed into a colorful sphere. "And I summon out my Dark Magician Girl (Level 6, Dark, Spellcaster/Effect, 2000/1700)!" he declared as from the sphere appeared Dark Magician Girl. "Next up I activate my vampire's effect from the graveyard. You see while Silent Vampire is in my graveyard I can remove her from play. In doing so I can special summon out any level 4 or below Galactic Hero straight outta my deck."

"Interesting." said Jaden with a smile.

"So the monster I'm choosing is my Galactic Hero Dark Love (Level 4, Dark, Fiend/Effect, 1500/1700)." Inferno said as a girl who wore a red corset with a black rose in the middle, a black skirt, a red choker with a black rose on it, and a pair of bat like wings which came out of her back. "You ready to show him some real power?"

"Oh yeah. Let's rock." replied Dark Magician Girl.

"I couldn't have said it better myself. Now I activate Polymerization to fuse Dark Magician Girl with my Galactic Hero Yohei (Level 5, Dark, Warrior/Effect, 1700/1100)!" he said as Dark Magician Girl jumped into a swirling vortex along with a warrior who wore all black along with a mask and had two large assault rifles on his back, a sword at his left side, and a pair of hand guns. After the vortex shattered and revealed Dark Magician Girl wearing a black tube top with a skirt that extended from it to half ways to her knees, black sleeves, and shoes. Now she also had a pair is pistols in her hands instead of her staff. "Say Hello to my Merc Magician Girl (Level 8, Dark, Spellcaster/Fusion/Effect, 3300/2800). Next up I activate the spell card Million Dollar Shot!" declared Inferno. "Now I skip my battle phase this turn but in exchange Merc Magician Girl can destroy one monster you control." he explained. At that Merc Magician Girl jumped very high and began shooting several shots around herself spinning rapidly before she fired towards Wild Cyclone destroying him. "Now here's a real kicker. You see when a monster is destroyed by Million Dollar Shot the monster is removed from play instead of going to the graveyard. Then one of the fusion material monsters used to summon him returns to your side of the field. So who's it gonna be?"

"I will bring back Avian." said Jaden as the corrupted Elemental Hero appeared before him.

"Well I throw down a face down and I'll end my turn."

"Very well." said Jaden drawing. "I'll start by activating my E-Emergency Call to add Elemental Hero Burstinatrix."

"Sorry to interupt but Dark Love's effect activates. You see when either one of us adds cards from our decks or graveyards to our hands then the other person gets a choice. And since you added a monster to your hand I get to choose one of two effects. I can either hit you with 500 points of damage or I can raise my life points by 500 and I think I'll pick number two." Inferno explained as his monster turned and blew a kiss at him which then caused a light glow around his body. (Jaden 4000, Inferno 4500)

"I sacrifice Avian to summon out Evil Hero Malicious Edge (Level 7, Earth, Fiend/Effect, 2600/1800) in attack mode!" declared Jaden as a creature with a number of needles sticking of his body, three claws on each hand, and razor wings appeared. "Now I equip Malicious Edge with the spell Vicious Claw giving my monster an addition 300 ATK points. In addition if my monster gets destroyed by battle Vicious Claw returns to my hand and my monster is saved." he explained as a dark energy surrounded Malicious Edge's right claw. "Now Malicious Edge attack his Dark Love!" Upon command Jaden's monster jumped and headed for Inferno's monster.

"Sorry but no dice." said Inferno raising his hand. "I activate my face down. The spell Dark Matrix!" he declared. "This card ends your battle phase and then allows Galactic Hero Dark Love to evolve!" he explained as Malicious Edge landed back with Jaden. Then Dark Love began to glow in a dark light with purple lightning. "Thanks to this she now becomes Galactic Hero Blazing Succubus (Level 7, Fire, Spellcaster/Effect, 2700/1800)!" he explained as from the dark light emerged a woman who had a black tank top with black shorts, flaming hair and had what looked like volcanic remnants on her forearms, hands, and feet as gloves and boots. "Now because Dark Love was affected by Dark Matrix I can draw two cards." he said drawing.

"Very well then I will place another card face down and I will end my turn." said Jaden.

"Alright my draw!" declared Inferno. "So what exactly happened to you? Looks like you and Yubel became one but the you I know was never like this." he said.

"Simple. She tried to control me and I was too strong. Simple as that." said Jaden with a dark smile.

"So you never understood her, did you?" asked Inferno.

"What is there to understand?" asked Jaden with a look of condescension.

"Yubel may have been somewhat psycotic but what she did she did because she cared for you." replied Inferno.

"And how would you know?" asked Jaden with a scoff.

"Because even though here we're about the same age back in my world you're about ten or twelve years older." replied Inferno. "You told me everything that happened here. About how Jesse on this end duel Zane back on earth to create duel energy so they could send the Rainbow Dragon as well as how you and Jesse dueled Yubel. You also told me how you guys faced off together against all three Sacred Beasts and how awesome it looked when you took saw Rainbow Dragon take on all three of them. But it was then that things got heavy because the energy required caused not only for you guys to be sent back but Jesse to be trapped. That was why you found a way to return. A way to rescue him. But when you did your friends went with you because just as you would never abandon them they would never abandon you. But it seems that you are no longer Jaden Yuki."

"You're right. I'm not." said Jaden. "For I am now the Supreme King."

"No you're not." said Inferno which caused a quick angry reaction from Jaden. "I can sense you've let darkness consume you but that darkness isn't the power of the Supreme King. That power is locked deep inside you."

"And how can you tell?"

"Because I was born half human. Then made into an experiment. Thanks to that my left eye has the same abilities as most kinds of high tech cameras including infared, night vision, and several other things." Inferno explained as his left eye began to glow yellow. "My right eye on the other hand has the ability to see any and every kind of magic and right now I see the Supreme King's power trapped within you." replied Inferno looking at his cards. "Now I activate my Pot of Greed to draw two more cards!" He then narrowed his eyes. "Now I activate my Pot of Duality. With this I can draw three cards but then I must choose one and return the other two to my deck and shuffle my deck." he said adding one of the three cards to his hand and returning the other causing his duel disk to shuffle his deck. Then he smiled. "Now I summon out Galactic Hero Starlight Magician (Level 6, Light, Spellcaster/Effect, 2000/1700)." he said as a woman with light violet hair in a purple dress. "You see Starlight Magician can be special summoned when she's added to my hand by a card effect." He said looking back at his hand before looking towards Jaden "Next up I summon my Galactic Hero Brawler Beast (Level 3, Dark, Beast/Tuner, 1200/1500) in attack mode!" he declared as a bipedal dog who wore tattered clothes and fingerless gloves. "Now I activate his effect which allows me to send one machine type monster to the graveyard to raise or drop Brawler Beast's level by the level of the discarded monster." he said as he slid a card to his graveyard. "The monster I discarded was my Replicator who is a level 1 monster. So I'm dropping Brawler Beast's level by 1." he explained. "Next up here's something new for you!" he said as the dog began howling loudly causing it to split into three stars which became rings.

"What's going on?" asked Jaden surprised for once.

"I'm tuning my level 2 Brawler Beast with my level 6 Starlight Magician!" Inferno explained as the three stars expanded into rings that Starlight Magician jumped through causing her to become outlined that revealed six stars within her which then became aligned making a tunnel of light. "Fire of my soul ignite the truth from beyond and reveal the truth! Synchro summon! Flame On! Magma Dragon (Level 8, Fire, Dragon/Synchro/Effect, 3000/2900)!" he chanted as a large dragon made of black rock and volcanic ash appeared.

"Synchro summon?" asked Jaden.

"That's right." replied Inferno. "And now Magma Dragon attack his Inferno Wing with Volcanic Nova!" Upon command his monster fire a massive stream of fire at Jaden's monster.

"Not bad but not good enough." said Jaden as his facedown arose. "I activate the trap Negate Attack." he said as a ripple in space absorbed the blast.

"Sweet." said Inferno with a smile. "Well I'm throwing down a face down and I guess I'll call it a turn."

"Very well then I draw!" declared Jaden. "Now I'll start by summon Elemental Hero Sparkman (Level 4, Light, Warrior, 1600/1400) in attack mode!" he said as a man in black with a yellow armor and a blue visor appeared. "Next I once again activate Dark Fusion but this time I will fuse Elemental Hero Sparkman with Elemental Hero Clayman (Level 4, Earth, Warrior, 800/2000)!" he called out as both Sparkman and a monster that looked like couple of large rocks together. Then the two jumped into another dark swirl. "Together they create the Evil Hero Lightning Golem (Level 6, Light, Fiend/Fusion/Effect, 2400/1500)!" he said as a larger monster in strange clothing appeared. "Now for my Golem's effect. You see once per turn my Golem can destroy one monster on the field and I think I'll have him destroy your Mercinary." he explained as Lightning Golems hand fired electricity. (No pun intended)

"Not bad but I'm activating the trap card Effect Rod!" called out Inferno. "You see whenever an opponent activates an effect this trap attaches itself to that card and negates the effects." he explained as a mid sized metal rod attached itself to Jaden's monster. "But here's what makes this card so interesting. It only negates a monsters effect in activation. After you'll be able to activate your monster's effect but now it'll only affect your monsters."

"I see." said Jaden. "Very well then I will place another card facedown and I'll end my turn." he said.

"Alright my draw!" declared Inferno. "And now's when the fun really starts. You see while my Succubus can't do anything the turn she was summoned. She can only become activate the turn after the turn she was summoned and since it was in your turn her restraints are released, so to speak." he explained. "But before anything I need to know something. I can kind of understand why you'd feel like an outcast after what had happened but dude."

"How could you possibly understand?" yelled Jaden. "To know that everyone blames you for things out of your control. To know that they'll never accept what you are?"

"Oh you think so?" asked Inferno. "How about living with the knowledge that you family was slaughtered because of what you are?" Inferno yelled back. "When I was only a week old I was kidnapped and made in to some fucking demon's little project! I was there for a year until someone rescued me. Then four years later I was living happily until I was sent to a sleep over. Next day my house was fucking destroyed with no survivors. I've lived for eleven years with the knowledge that my parents died because of me and I've never forgiven myself. You think you know what it's like to feel like a freak? How about knowing that those you cared for died because you were turned into one?" he yelled as some marks began glowing throughout his body.

"Interesting." said Jaden. Inferno then took a deep breath.

"Has he really been through such hardships?" asked Rider.

"Yes he has." said Laura. "Makes you wonder how he can be so happy, doesn't it."

"Indeed." said Alisa.

"Look man. I've been through way more shit that you can imagine and I haven't let it get to me." said Inferno. "You helped when you told me how you had overcome the darkness in you. When you told me how you traveled to another alternate plane where you went with Alexis, Chazz, Syrus, Atticus, Hassleberry, Axel, Jim, Zane, and Aster. About how you saw your friends fall before your eyes and how the Supreme King took over." he explained. "You said that Jim tried dueling you to free you but was unable to free you because of the darkness was too strong. I wasn't until Axel dueled you that they were able to free you but then Adrian challenged you. However Aster took over when he gained the power of Exodia. In the end however he we unable to." he said looking down. "Then Zane took on Jesse who was possessed by Yubel. However he was also defeated. Afterwards you went on to duel Yubel and it was then, you said, that you realized that she had been corrupted. That she was trying to protect you. And it was then that you fused your soul with hers. It was then your true power was released."

"Do you really think I'll fall for such a stupid lie?" asked Jaden. "Just make your move."

"Fine." said Inferno looking at his hand. "I start by having My Succubus attack Lightning Golem. Attack with Soul Fire Blade!" Upon command Inferno's monster formed a blade made of fire on her left arm which then slashed at Lightning Golem. However Jaden's monster wasn't destroyed.

"Looks like your monster can't get the job done." said Jaden.

"You'd think so but that's not the case. You see when my Succubus battle a monster in attack mode if her ATK points are higher than your monster's ATK points you monster isn't destroyed. Instead it loses half it's ATK points and is switched to defense mode." replied Inferno as Jaden's monster fell to one knee. (Jaden 3700, Inferno 4500) "Now Merc Magician Girl attack Inferno Wing with Rock n Roll blast attack!" At that Merc Magician Girl smiled as she spun her pistols before aiming and firing several shots at Inferno wing causing her to be destroyed. (Jaden 2500, Inferno 8500) "Now I Magma Dragon destroy his Edge with Volcanic Nova!" Upon command his dragon fire a large blast which hit Malicious Edge. (Jaden 2400, Inferno 4400)

"Not bad but Vicious Claw keep Malicious Edge from being destroy and it returns to my hand." said Jaden. "Plus I get to destroy a monster you control and you'll be hit with 600 points of damage so I think I'll destroy your Magician Girl." he said pointing at her which caused an explosion. (Jaden 2400, Inferno 3800) Within a few seconds the smoke cleared to reveal Merc Magician Girl still on the field but Magma Dragon gone.

"What happened?" asked Jaden in shock.

"Well Merc Magician Girl can't be destroyed by card effects. As for my dragon. When he attacks a monster in attack mode and deals damage I take the same damage you two. Then my dragon returns to my extra deck." explained Inferno. "But not before leaving a little something behind." he said as a small fire ball appeared in his dragon's place which turned into a demonic looking fire gauntlet which then attached itself to Merg Magician Girl's right hand.

"So what is that?" asked Jaden.

"When my Dragon returns into my extra deck via it's own effect then it brings out one of the five pieces of a special armor." explained Inferno. "This part is known as Gauntlet of the Storm and it allows my monster to become a Wind monster. It also gains an effect but more about that later."

"Fine." said Jaden.

"Now I play a single card face down and thus ends my turn."

"Very well." said Jaden drawing. "I'll start with my Pot of Greed to draw two new cards." he said drawing. "Now I activate Dark Factory of Mass Production. With this I can now return two monsters from my graveyard to my hand." he explained as two of his monster were added to his hand.

"I activate a trap." said Inferno. "The trap Cosmic Balance. With this because you added cards from your graveyard to your hand I can send the same number of card from my deck to my graveyard and this turn you can't enter your battle phase." he said sliding two cards from his deck to his graveyard. "Then I can place another card face down from my deck while one of your own gets set from your graveyard." he said as a card appeared on each side of the field.

"Fool! I activate Dark Fusion once more!" he said as the card that was face down in front of Jaden arose. "And with it I fuse Elemental Hero Clayman and Burstinatrix to summon Evil Hero Infernal Sniper (Level 6, Fire, Fiend/Fusion/Effect, 2000/2500)." he said as a woman in large red armor appeared. At that Inferno narrowed his eyes. "I end my turn."

"My draw." said Inferno. "I start by activating the spell card A Spell From Beyond. Thanks to this spell I can activate a spell from my graveyard." he explained as the card duplicate a card. "Now I use it to trigger the effect of my Dark Matrix in order to have my Succubus to evolve once more." he explained as his duel disk began glowing in red as did his monster. Then the light began to die down. "Thanks to this I summon out Galactic Hero Dark Rose (Level 9, Fire, Fairy/Effect, 3300/1700)." he said as the light vanished revealing a girl in a red dress with autumn leaf like wings that were red as well along with red boots. Then two rings of fire formed. One around Inferno and one around Jaden.

"What's going on?" asked Jaden.

"When Dark Rose is summon out until the start of my next turn neither one of us can declare an attack." explained Inferno. "I end my turn."

"Alright my draw then!" declared Jaden. "And now Infernal Sniper's effect activates. You see during my standby phase Infernal Sniper can hit you with 1000 points of damage." ( Jaden 2400, Shawn 2800) "Now I activate the spell Dark Destroyer." he said as the card appeared before him. "Thanks to this if you take effect damage this spell deals you the same amount damage you already took." he explained as the card shot a blast of energy at Inferno. (Jaden 2400, Shawn 1800) "That ends my turn."

"Alright my draw then." said Inferno as the two rings of fire vanished. At this point something strange was happening in Inferno's mind. Although he was trying to focus he felt like something was calling to him.

"Something's wrong." said Rider.

"What do you mean?" asked Laura.

"Up until his last turn he was able to focus on the duel but I sense something in his mind. Something's wrong but I can't tell what."

"Alright now let's see." said Inferno looking at his cards. 'Come on! Focus!'

'...ello?' he heard.

'Alright focus.' he thought to himself as he looked at him hands.

"Are you okay?" asked Merc Magician Girl as she and Dark Rose turned to him.

"I don't know." replied Inferno. "I think I'm hallucinating again."

"No you're not." said Dark Rose. "I was hearing them too."

"What is that?" asked Inferno.

"If I had to guess I'd say it sounds like fallen spirits." replied Dark Rose.

"Fallen spirits?" asked Inferno.

"Sometimes when there's a duel spirit that was destroyed remnants remain." explained Merc Magician Girl. "But there usually isn't much to be done." she said sadly.

"Maybe not normally but remember that I'm not exactly normal and that I know how to focus my magic circuits more than most."

"Quit stalling." yelled out Jaden.

"Well whatever's going on I better focus." Inferno said to himself. "Alright I'll start by activating..." he began before his head began to spin. 'Oh man.'

'Just focus.' he heard a voice say in his mind.

"Aunt Jean?" he asked out loud.

"Jean?" asked Laura.

"Who?" asked Rider.

"Jean Grey." replied Alisa. "When Wolverine rescued Shawn many years ago he was taken to the X Mansion where they took care of him until they found his parents. Due to this he thinks of most of them as family hence why he refers to them as either Aunt or Uncle." she explained.

"I see." said Rider.

"He also has a connection to her because both of them have a Phoenix infused into them." added Laura.

'I can sense what is happening to you.'

'Really?' thought back Inferno. 'Then what is it?'

'Someone or something's trying get into get to you.'

'So is that good or bad?'

'Hard to say. You're just gonna have to listen and focus on whoever or whatever is trying to get to you.'

"Alright I'll play a card facedown and end my turn." he said. "Now I call it a turn."

"Then I draw and you know what that means." said Jaden as Infernal Sniper aimed at Inferno.

Back at school it was lunch and Shiro was eating with Saber and Issei, whom had asked Shiro to check on the air conditioner again. While Issei was gone to get Shiro's tools Saber suddenly began sweating and seeing something.

Shiro noticed and went up to her.

"Hey Saber are you okay?"

"I do not know." replied Saber. "It feels as though I'm seeing through someone else's eyes." It was then she felt a strange burning on her left hand. She looked and looked at the scar on the back of her hand trying to remember where she had gotten it. It was then she saw as though a light went straight for her.

"I…..at….from…grave…." she heard.

"Let's go to the nurse's office." suggested Shiro.

Back with the others.

"I activate the effect of Effect Rod from the graveyard." said Inferno. "Because it was destroyed along with your monster I can minimize any damage I take during one turn by the original ATK points of the monster it was attached to." he explained as the rod appeared absorbing the blast.

"Fine then I'll place a card facedown and I'll end my turn."

"Then I draw!" declared Inferno. "Alright let's see." he said closing his eyes. "Focus on phoenix." he said. Jaden looked at him wondering what was going on and became surprised when he saw several lines which looked like circuits glowing throughout his body. This caused a phoenix made of fire to glowing around him. Then he opened his eyes revealing his eyes glowing returning to normal only a few seconds after. "I hear you." he said.

"Hear who?" asked Alisa confused. At that they saw three lights which hit together above Inferno and Jaden.

"What is that?" asked Jaden as Inferno raised his glowing duel disk into the air. This caused the three lights to hit his deck causing it to glow lightly. After everyone looked towards Inferno whose magic circuits were glowing lightly but vanishing.

"I start by activating the spell Galaxy Draw!" declared Shawn. "Now I discard a Galactic Hero monster and if it's a level four or below I can draw cards equal to the monster's level but if it's higher I only draw two cards." he said sliding a card to his graveyard before drawing three cards. When he did his eyes widened at seeing the cards. "Now I activate De-Fusion to separate Merc Magician Girl." he said as his monster split into Dark Magician Girl and Yohei with the gauntlet going to Dark Magician Girl. "Now I summon out something that's even new to me." he said with a smile.

"What?" asked Jaden.

"I summon Galactic Hero Saphire Pegasus Knight (Level 4, Wind, Warrior/Effect, 1800/1200)." Inferno called out as a warrior in a white armor that had white wings and a sapphire sword appeared. "And thanks to that I can activate my knight's effect allowing me to place one of my Knights in my spell and trap zone." he said sliding a card which caused an orange cube to appear.

"Let's do this." said the knight.

"Next I activate the spell Advanced Tribute. This allows me to tribute summon using the monsters in my hand."

"You can't. You've already summoned for this turn." said Jaden.

"Sorry but when Galaxy Draw is used then that turn I'm allowed summon a second time so I sacrifice two monsters in my hand…" he said sliding the cards into his graveyard. "…and I summon forth Galactic Legend Joan!" he called out as the female knight appeared. "Now with her out all Galactic Hero monsters on my side gain 500 ATK points and because Dark Magician Girl was brought out after being separated from a Galactic Hero she can be treated as one now." he explained "Now I'm playing the small Power Barrier. You see because I have a Knight in my spell and trap zone I can sacrifice it in order to keep you from activating you monsters ability next turn." he explained. "Now I end my turn."

"Very well then I'll place a card face down and I'll have my Sniper attack you're Yohei!" said Jaden as his monster fired at Yohei destroying it. (Jaden 2400, Inferno 1200) "What's this?"

"If Yohei is destroyed by battle I take double the damage I'd normally take." explained Inferno.

"I see. Well then I'll end my turn." said Jaden.

"Alright now I can activate the second effect of my Power Barrier." said Inferno.

"And what might that be?"

"When Power Barrier is active with three or more monsters on the field I can have the ATK points of all my monster go to 0 so that one can gain all that power." Inferno explained as all the ATK points of his monsters went to his Dark Magician Girl. "So Dark Magician Girl end this duel with Dark Cosmic Blast!"

"This isn't possible." said Jaden.

"Not impossible. Merely improbable." said Inferno. (Jaden 0, Shawn 1400) "Alright now do it!"

"Alright." said Dark Magician Girl as her eyes began glowing green before causing a bright flash. After they found themselves back in the dessert.

"Ok what just happened?" asked Laura.

"In that last attack Mana used a spell to erase their memories of us and bring us back out here." replied Inferno as Dark Magician Girl landed next to him along with the other monsters who then vanished.

"Shawn standby by for return."

"What?" asked Inferno as the four of them were suddenly sucked back and lost conciousness.
