TWO-POINT-ZERO

AN: Ok… Chapter nine here…Here's what's up. One of the leaders of the Neo Darkness teams decides to challenge Serena. She takes challenge, and during the duel, this leader decides to unmask and reveal her true identity. Who is this? You're gonna find out right now. I don't own YGO GX, but I do own ALL original characters. ROLL IT!

Chapter Nine: Loss and Fall

As soon as Serena saw who she was duelling, she immediately grew pale. "Mom? It can't be!"

"That's right, Serena." She said. "It's me. Sandy Anderson. Your mother!"

Outside of the duel field, Rick heard it as did everyone else, but Tim was the first to speak. "The plot thickens."

"You're telling me, moneybags." Eric replied.

Meanwhile, Serena shook off the shock, and said, "Fine. That gives me even more incentive to beat you!" She drew her card. "I'll use my gem release spell card and place it on my Pegasus, giving him 800 more attack points (2600/1200)!"

"Thanks for the power boost! Now let's take out that defence monster!" Pegasus cried.

"My thought exactly!" Serena replied. "Now Pegasus! Attack her face down!" she commanded.

"I don't think so!" Sandy said. "Reveal face down! Counter Gem allows me to take out all my cards in the spell/trap card zone and place as much advanced crystal beast cards in them as possible!" She said as took out the two cards in the trap/spell card zone and placed at least four advanced crystal beast cards in them."

"Fine…" Serena replied. "I'll end my turn."

"Good." Sandy said. "I'll summon out my advanced cobalt eagle (1400/800) and set one more card face down to end my turn."

"All righty!" Serena replied. "I'll summon out my Crystal Beast Amber Mammoth (1700/1600) and have it attack your cobalt eagle!"

"Not so fast, Serena!" Sandy replied. "My Rainbow Life card allows me to negate the damage done to my eagle, and I'll add those damage points to my life points!"

Serena: 3800

Sandy: 4100

"I end my turn again." Serena said.

"My move and you know what's coming, don't you?" Sandy asked. "I sacrifice all seven of my advanced crystal beast monsters to special summon the Dark Rainbow Dragon (4000/0) and not only that, I'll summon out my Phantom Gunner (1100/800) with a gunner token (500/500)." She said. "Now, Dark Rainbow Dragon, attack her mammoth!" She cried out as the attack hit.

Serena: 1500

Sandy: 4100

"Not only that, Phantom Gunner and gunner token, attack my daughter directly!" Sandy cried out. Serena screamed as both attacks hit.

Serena: 0

Sandy: 4100

"It's over." Sandy said as the darkness began to circle in on Serena. "Now, my daughter, embrace the darkness."

The gang saw what was going on, but were helpless and Serena's eyes began to darken. She then said, "You claim to be my friends, but I know once all of you turn your backs, y'all are gonna burn me. Now, I'll be the one to burn y'all!"

"That's not true!" Rick said. "We're all gonna help you to the very end!"

"I don't want to be helped." Serena replied as she threw a dark breeze at Rick, which threw him to the same wall he hit earlier.

"Rick!" The gang yelled, as they ran to him.

"Ya know I'm getting tired of being thrown around like a rag doll." He said.

Sandy just said, "And don't you dare try to rescue her." She and Serena both vanished as she said this.

"Hothead. You ok?" Bobbi asked.

"Yeah. I'm fine, Bobbi." He answered. Adriana saw this and turned away. Eric just held her.

"Look man, as much as I don't like you guys, I'll be there to make sure we get Serena back for our sakes." Tim said.

"Thanks, moneybags." Rick replied.

"Well, about rescuing Serena, let's just hope it happens sooner rather than later." Adriana replied as the crew left with the rest of the student body, who were clearly much shaken.

END CHAPTER

So… who is this Sandy Anderson woman? Well, here's the primer:

Sandy Pilgarino-Anderson: Serena's long-lost mother, Jesse saw her cheating on a friend of his from North Academy, and decided to divorce her when Serena was two. She has since remarried, but has also since surrendered to the darkness in her heart, joining the Neo Darkness.

There… R&R!
