Knock knock knock

"Come in, Alexis...,"

The door to Sartorius' room opened and the former Queen of Obelisk Blue entered, "You wanted me, Master Sartorius?" she asked.

"Yes...come over here, my child," Sartorius waved her over to his Tarot card table, "I have something I must discuss with you,".

Alexis walked over as he was placing a new set of cards down on the table, "Have I done something to displease you, Master?"

"No, my child, no," Sartorius chuckled, "This is about Jiku and his friends. As you know already, Fate has revealed to us that Jiku is the Lord of Light, a powerful ally to our cause. While he may recieve the calling, he denies it,"

"Yessir," Alexis nodded.

The tall man flipped over a card and tapped it, "This...is the card of the Four Horsemen. Do you know who they are, Alexis?"

She shook her head slightly, "I'm afraid I don't,"

"The Four Horsemen...according to the holy text of the Bible of those who are of Christian and Catholic Faith, are a group of men that are to bring about the end of the world, the Apocalypse," he explained, still tapping the card, "Supposedly, they are to help purge the world of Sinners. I believe that the Lord's friends, even the Lord of Light himself, belong to this group,"

Alexis frowned, "I don't understand...,"

"Don't you see my dear?" Sartorius looked up at her, "The reason the Horsemen are here is because they are meant to help us cleanse the world of sinners and non-believers who refuse to accept the Light!"

He rose from his seat and handed her a card, "I believe the time has come to bring at least one Horseman to the Light...make him see the truth. This card is rightfully his...make sure he recieves it"

Alexis nodded, taking the card, "I'll see to it, Master Sartorius," she swore before walking to the door.

"Wait...,"

She stopped and turned, "Yes sir?"

"What is being done about the two Horsemen in the 'free' Obelisk?"

She smiled confidently, "We have it covered, Master. Do not worry, sir, we have a way of finding more about them...,"

Sartorius laughed, "Very good, Alexis...now, go! Search and bring us a Horseman this night!"

Alexis bowed, "He will be ours before the night is over...,"

"...so you know, it's not all bad. I get some new friends, new cracks about my hair, my Sanji-lookalike-ness and a place where I can live without being called a pig. I mean, you must really like this place to keep living here and not the other dorms huh?"

Jake poked the fat orange cat that lay on the mattress in front of him, "Oy...oy, Pharaoh! Wakey wakey...,"

Pharaoh mewed and turned away from the purple-haired Slifer.

"Waka laka for Osaka!"

The cat mewed again.

"I like chicken, I like liver, Meow Mix please deliver...," Jake poked the cat again, singing an old American TV jingle, "C'mon, ya Garfield wannabe, if ya can't hold up a conversation, why am I talking to you?"

He watched helplessly as Pharaoh mewed, stretched, and walked onto a small board that led up to the rafters above him.

"Aw fine, who needs ya, ya fat furball!"

A loud beeping sound interrupted the two and their fun time. Jiku sighed and picked up his PDA from his desk.

"Erik, I swear to God, if you downloaded Half-Life Mods on Bastion's computer...," he muttered, as he pressed the button. He frowned, it wasn't a message from Bastion or Erik. It was a message from Alexis.

Ok, this chick is either obsessed with me getting into that place of their's or she's got the hots for me. Either way, I'm very flattered he thought as Alexis' face appeared on screen.

"Jiku, please meet me tonight in the woods, at the old well. There's something very important I have to tell you...and it's private, so we won't be interrupted,"

Jake couldn't help but both blush and grin as Alexis' image winked at him before the screen turn black, "Oh I'm such playa...,". He tossed the PDA onto the desk and grabbed his Slifer blazer and a flashlight, then slipped out of the dorm, making sure he didn't disturb Syrus, Jaden, Bastion, or Hassleberry.

"I'm hookin' up with a hottie, I'm hookin' up with a hottie," he sang quietly as he made his way into the forest. Even though he and his friends has been at Duel Academy for a short time, he knew his way around the area rather well, and so he knew where the meeting place that Alexis told him was.

After a short while of walking, tripping, and breaking off branches, Jake shined his flashlight around the area until he saw a stone circle in the dirt, a rope ladder leading into it.

Bingo he thought as he looked around, "Alexis? I'm here! What's so important?"

"Hello Jiku, I'm glad you could make it on such short notice,"

Grinning, Jake turned around, but nearly fell over his own feet at what he saw. Alexis was behind him, but so was Chazz, and about twenty other Society of Light members behind them.

"What the hell?!" Jake stepped back but stopped as the other members spread out into a circle around them.

Alexis smiled kindly, "I wasn't lying when I had something important to talk to you about,"

"But you did say it would be private...," Jake glared at the crowd, "This don't seem very private to me at all!"

"I did say it would be private yes," Alexis walked forward, "But I didn't say it would be the two of us,"

Jake noticed that she wore a duel disk on her arm, Ok...this...is not gonna end well he thought before smirking, "Sorry, but if you're looking for a duel, I left my Disk at my dorm. Too bad," he shrugged.

BONK!

"OW!" Jake glared at Chazz before looking down to see a Duel Disk at his feet, "Son of a...bitch!"

"It's simple, Jiku. Beat me, and we will leave you alone...lose, and you become what you truly are,"

"I swear to God if you say-,"

"The Lord of Light!" Alexis raised her arms, "Sisters and Brothers, a great Lord to our Light has been found, but he refuses to take his rightful place among us! Shall we convert the unbeliever?" she called.

God, this chick is like a TV evangelist Jake sweatdropped as cheers echoed around him.

"Let's duel, Jiku!" Alexis ordered as her Duel Disk whirred to life, "Or else we'll go find one of your friends and convert them in your place!"

Jake grit his teeth and picked up the Duel Disk, Dammit...I hate doing this, but I got no choice he thought as he inserted his deck.

A: 4000
J: 4000

"Since you called me out, I think the first one goes to me," Jake drew his card, "I summon Dunames Dark Witch (1800/1050) and then I'll play the Field Spell card Luminous Spark! What this does is every Light Monster gains 500 Attack Points, but they lose 400 Defense Points,"

Dunames Dark Witch (2300/650)

Alexis, Chazz and the others lifted their heads as the aura of bright whiteness illuminated the dark forest area where they stood.

"He is the Lord of Light!"

"This is a sign!"

"You see everyone?" Alexis cried, "Fate never lies to us!"

Jake's eye twitched, "OH SHUT UP ALREADY! It's just a few damn cards!" he shouted, a vein starting to show, "JUST...CARDS...,"

Alexis shook her head, giggling as she drew her card, "Still denying what you truly are, Jiku. Do not worry, the Light and the truth will present itself to you soon enough," she looked at her hand, "I'll place one card facedown, then I'll use Polymerization to fuse my Etoile Cyber and my Blade Skater in order to summon Cyber Blader (2100/800)!"

Jake watched as her two dancers fused into a rather beautiful skater in a tight body suit, with long hair. He grinned, "A card that matches the hotness of it's owner," he commented.

Chazz glared hard at him while Alexis smiled a little. She winked, "Thank you, my Lord. I end my turn,"

Hehehe...only time I ever heard a chick say that was when I had that dream about- Jake shook his head, "Dammit, what am I thinking?!" he drew his card, "I play the Spell card, Pot of Greed," he paused and drew two new cards, "Now, I'll attack with Dunames Dark Witch!"

Alexis smiled as the winged fair raised it's hands at her monster, "Activate facedown Trap Card, Double' Pass'e!"

"Double what?" Jake watched as his monsters attack went past the monster and hit Alexis instead, "What just happened?"

A: 1700
J: 4000

"That...was Double' Pass'e. By letting your monster attack me directly, I can attack you directly with my own monster! Cyber Blader, attack Jiku now!"

Jake winced as the dancer monster skated past his Dark Witch and kicked him in the chest with it's own blade.

A: 1700
J: 1900

Dammit... Jake panted, feeling actual pain from the attack She's...good...no wonder she has the title of Blue Queen...

"My apologies for the attack, my Lord," Alexis lowered her head, "But I must do what must be done to convince you. Is it my turn yet?"

Jake glared at her, covering his vision from the bright light of Luminous Spark, "Go ahead...I'll get you next turn, Rhodes,"

I'm sorry, Jiku...but that won't happen Alexis drew her next card and smiled, "I was hoping for a longer duel against you, my Lord...but time is of the essence. First, I summon Cyber Tutu (1000/800)...,"

Jake rolled his eyes as a cute, pink haired girl in a futuristic ballerina outfit appeared alongside the Cyber Blader, "Oh c'mon, what is this a duel or a frickin' audition to Juliard?!"

Ignoring the outburst, Alexis inserted a card into a slot, "I play the spell card Double Attack! By discarding my Cyber Prima from my hand, I can have one of my monsters attack twice in the same turn!"

"So what? That won't do anything for you, Rhodes," Jake grinned, "None of your monsters are strong enough!"

Alexis giggled again, "They don't need to be strong to beat your monster. My Cyber Tutu has a special ability. When my opponent's monsters are stronger that her, she can attack you directly! With Double Attack, she can do twice as much damage!"

"But...that means...,"

"Cyber Tutu, attack him now!"

The attacks came swiftly, but the aftermath seemed to take forever. Jake fell to the ground, the area still illuminated by his magic card. He looked up and stared at the light as the circle of Society members crowded around him. During this, the hologram of the light spell didn't fade away.

No...this light wasn't artificial. This light was real, and it was beautiful.

A: 1700
J: 0

Alexis bent down and held out her hand, as well as a white blazer jacket, "We are honored by your presence, my Lord...,"

Sartorius lifted his head from his Tarot reading, a smile slowly creeping on his face, "Fate does not lie. You belong with us...Jake Revastan,".

He looked back down at his Tarot cards and flipped over the set he had just placed down. Once again, the Four Horsemen card was present, but with it, four new cards that he had never seen before were below the Horsemen.

One had a picture of a man in the center of a fiery inferno, eyes blood red.

Another had a young man riding a water serpent, his face buried into the serpent's body.

The third one was of another young man, sitting on a throne made completely of rock, a large stone sword in his right hand.

The fourth and final card held a picture of a woman in black robes and armor. Much like the previous card, she sat on a throne, only the difference was she held a shiny, black sword in her left hand.

"Astonishing!" Sartorius leaned forward, "The Warrior of the Hellfire, the Master of the Sea, the Earthen King, and the Dark Queen...,"

He leaned back into his chair, blinked a few times then laughed at the top of his lungs.
