Chapter 9

Among the early morning, the sun wasn't up yet; but someone was: Zane Truesdale, the highest ranking student at Duel Academy and the older brother to Jaden's friend Syrus Truesdale. He was standing alone near the lighthouse, just staring at the sea. Later, he was joined by someone who happened to see him.

"Zane?" The top Obelisk never turned to the source, but recognized it as Alexis Rhodes with their friend Mito Namikaze. Zane didn't have to look to know. Those two were always together. "What are you doing out here?"

"Nothing. Just felt like being alone." He replied in a neutral voice.

"You're always alone," Mito commented, Zane shrugging it off as soon as it was said.

Alexis stood next to him. "You know, with your little brother enrolled here, I thought you'd be less alone, not more." Alexis said.

"Yeah," Mito agreed. "What's up with that?"

"Well, that's because he doesn't belong here." He stated bluntly, causing both Obelisk girls to stare at him wide eyed. Like before, Zane shrugged it all off; something he had gotten good at during his life to mask his feelings. He liked being alone, and Syrus being here only served to remind him about many things he wanted, and needed, to hide from.

...Slifer Dorm...

It was early morning when a truck filled with soldiers pulled up to the Slifer dorm. Professor Banner exited his room, looking exhausted. "Who's playing war at this time of day?" He wondered. "How about a nice quiet game of charades?" He looked up to see the soldiers rapidly ascending the steps. "Oh no, it's the Disciplinary Action Squad! They only show up when a student is in serious trouble, and they're heading straight for Jaden's room!"

Inside the room in question, Jaden, Syrus and Chumley were snoozing away mainly because it was a free day. Naruto was on his laptop sending his report to Kiaba and Pegasus about his recent duel in the abandoned dorm.

Unfortunately before he could take it, a forceful knock on the door woke Jaden up and caused Naruto to close his laptop.

"Open this door right now or we will break it open!" A woman demanded.

Jaden opened his eyes and sat up in bed as a loud knocking came from his door. Yawning, he walked over, "Oh really, you and what army?" He yawned.

"The Disciplinary Action Squad Army!" She replied

He opened the door and was surprised to see a large group of people in dark uniforms standing outside his dorm room.

The woman looked him over, "You must be Jaden Yuki..."

"Uh...yeah...so what's going on?" Jaden asked confused.

Ignoring the question, she looked over his shoulder to see one of his roommates "And you must be Naruto Yuki." She said getting a nod from the blond.

Naruto nodded, "Yeah...so who are you guys, and why are you here?"

As I said, we are the Disciplinary Action Squad and you two are under campus arrest!" She stated shocking the four slifer boys.

"Arrest?" Jaden raised an eyebrow while Naruto was silent. "What did we do?" He asked.

"That will be made clear to you at the interrogation," she informed them, "Now get dressed!"

...

The four Slifers along with Mana were now standing in a large, circular room with about five or six giant TV screens, each one with a different person on them. Three of them they knew well: Doctor Crowler, Chancellor Sheppard, and the woman from the D.A.S. Not only did they know why there were they... they found out what was going to happen because of it.

"What expelled?!" both Jaden and Syrus asked.

While, Naruto looked on with a serious face at what the inquiry board has to say.

"That's what I suggest," the D.A.S. woman replied, "You five have trespassed into the Abandoned Dorm in the woods, which is strictly forbidden, and we have received an anonymous letter from a faculty member that they saw you enter and leave the premises. You five must be punished to make an example for all the students!"

"Oh yeah, that's totally fair..." Jaden mumbled.

"Yeah we were there because…"Syrus said, before Naruto cut in.

"We were there because I was under orders to investigate certain things on this island and the abandon dorm was one of them" Naruto said getting everyone's attention.

"Under who orders if I may ask?" Crowler asked.

"Our orders." Two new voices spoke up, soon to holograms appeared and an image of Seto Kaiba and Maxamillion Pegasus came into view.

"Good morning ladies and gentlemen" Kaiba said in a serious tone.

"G-good morning Pegasus-sama, Kaiba-sama" they said in unison with a hint of fear.

Naruto and Mana's posture then changed as they bowed. "Good day Seto-sensei, Pegasus-san." Both teens said with respect.

"Hello Naruto, Mana, I got the file and the report from your investigation of the abandoned dorm and its connection to the shadow realm and also the surprise appearance of two Shadows Duelist." Kaiba said getting a nod from the duo.

"Hai, Titan and Anarchy couldn't have gotten on the island unless they were brought here without anyone's knowledge" Naruto said making Crowler sweat a bit.

"Well it doesn't matter now, however, from your report, you had help from the names listed here: Jaden Yuki, Syrus Trusdale, Chumley Huffington. Pegasus said looking over their report.

"Hai, they were a big help in our investigation." Mana said.

Kaiba looked at Naruto and nodded "granted, your friends will receive full pardon for aiding you in an investigation that I ordered you to undertake on my behave and I'll pardon Alexis because paying respects to a lost family member isn't worthy of a crime" Kaiba said. "And what of Namikaze?"

Naruto grit his teeth as much as he wanted to be rid of that miserable bitch. "Her as well." Naruto growled.

Kaiba, Pegasus and Chancellor Sheppard knew well of Naruto's hate for his biological family and were surprised by his choice but nodded.

"WAIT JUST A MINUTE!" Crowler said getting everyone's attention.

"Oh and who are you?" Kaiba asked.

"I'm Dr. Crowler, and these students must be punished for entering a restricted area" Crowler said with an angered tone.

Naruto and Mana then pulled out their PDAs and accessed their all access pass and a letter from Kaiba giving him permission to go to any area of the academy and not receive the penalty along with Yusei and Akiza. This made Crowler fume because now Naruto and his friends were untouchable.

"However, since Dr... Crowler went through the trouble to arrange the duel. I'll let both Naruto and his brother take part in the match." Kaiba said before turning to the Yuki's. "Are you both alright with this."

"You bet! Right bro?" Jaden said with excitement as his brother chuckled.

"Yeah little brother." Naruto said. "Seto-sensei we accept this match" Naruto said with a grin. This made Kaiba grin as well.

"Very well Naruto, I look forward to your victory in this match" Kaiba said before the feed was cut.

"I look forward to it as well Naruto-boy." Pegasus chuckled. "Also is your newest invention completed yet?" He asked confusing some of the teachers by what he ment.

"Not yet but I shouldn't take thank long." Naruto said as he and the others walked out the room.

...

"Gotta love those liver and onions," Syrus smiled as he walked out of the cafeteria feeling great since they served his favorite food.

As he rounded the corner in the hall, he unexpectedly bumped into someone. Syrus fell back onto his rear end at the sudden force. Before he could spout some kind of remark to the person, he found his eyes widening behind his glasses when he saw who it was.

His older brother, Zane Truesdale.

"Z-Zane?" Syrus squeaked out as he hesitantly locked eyes with his older sibling. His stern gaze caused Syrus to look away, feeling his stomach lunge at the few second long eye contact that he had with his brother.

"Syrus..." Zane said in his typical monotone voice that always caused Syrus' heartbeat to start rising. The silence stretched on for so long and got so uncomfortable that it never registered in Syrus' brain to get back up from the ground.

"Surprised you're still here..." the sudden sound of Zane's voice caused Syrus to look back at him, seeing him stare in disbelief. "I didn't expect Mom and Dad to tell you anything, but I thought that you would at least see it yourself..."

"S-see what?" Syrus stuttered, not sure where Zane was going with this.

"See that you don't belong here," he stated without a moment's hesitation, causing his younger brother to look up from his seat on the ground in shock. "You and I both know that you shouldn't be here and that you're just wasting time by doing so..." Zane turned and started walking, but not before leaving Syrus with one more painful insult.

"Just leave..." Zane said coldly.

Syrus felt his eyes burn with unshed tears as he sat there on the ground like a loser. He wanted to ignore his brother's insults and say to himself that they were all a lie, but a part of him, a very large part, agreed with his older brother.

He felt he didn't deserve to be here. He was wasting his and everyone else's time by enrolling here. His dueling skills were pathetic and he wasn't smart. He was short and scared of his own shadow. He had nothing going for him.

He even felt that Naruto, Jaden, Mana, Akiza, Yusei and Chumley will abandon him once they saw they can make better friends.

He picked himself up from the ground and didn't attempt to dust himself off, feeling the dirt was rightfully where it was supposed to be. He pulled himself forward, bumping again into someone else. He was scared that it was Zane again, so he didn't bother to look.

"Sy?"

He did look when he heard that it was Jaden along with Mana who was also looking really concerned with him.

"What's wrong?" Jaden asked his friend who was looking panicked.

"What happened?" Mana asked kneeling down placing her hands on the blue roof users shoulders.

Syrus finally let his tears fall. "Nothing! Me and my brother just had an issue!" He tried to get away from him, but Mana's hand reached and grabbed his arm.

"Syrus, we're your friends you can trust us." Mana said pleadingly.

"You don't know what its like to have a brother that doesn't care about you! You don't feel like a waste of skin because of it! You don't know how I feel!" He wrestled his arm away from Mana and took off in the opposite direction, heading for anywhere but where he was right now.

"Wait Syrus!" Mana cried running after him.

Jaden frowned as he watched his friend run away. "I don't get it. Syrus is such a cool guy, but he doesn't see what I see. He has a problem with believing in himself and sees himself as lower than every one else! And all because his brother treats him badly..."

"I think I know why..." Jaden turned around and saw Alexis standing behind him.

"Alexis do you know something about Sy's brother." Jaden asked.

Alexis nodded. "Yeah...that brother of his goes to this school. You've probably heard of him too..."

"Who are you talking about?" Jaden asked.

Hello? Third-Year Obelisk student and the best duelist in the school? He's the Kaiser, the big man on campus! Zane! And he is as good as his reputation precedes!" Alexis said.

"Yeah? Well, Alexis..." Jaden turned back to the waves. "He doesn't sound like he's very good to his little brother and I for one can't stand something like that..." he clenched his fist. "You're supposed to love your siblings and treat them better than everybody else... I can never imagine Naruto doing that to me." Jaden said through grit teeth.

"Jaden...don't pry..." Alexis warned him, "It's their problem, don't get involved."

Jaden growled and punched his open palm. "Don't worry...I'm not gonna pry, Alexis. I'm gonna duel!" He looked at the Obelisk girls. "I'm gonna duel him and find out what's going on!"

"Jaden, you're not listening! No one duels Zane!" Alexis protested.

"People duel Zane when their friend feels horrible about himself because of him..." he balled his fist. "I don't know what I have to do, but I will duel him and make him see just how bad he is to Syrus!"

Alexis sighed, seeing that Jaden wasn't gonna listen to her. She gave a small smile. "Go get 'em, Jaden."

Jaden nodded. "Believe me... I'm coming for him..."

Unknown to both teens Naruto had been hiding in the shadows. He had been listening in on the whole conversation. He couldn't stand it when people bullied others, especially his friends. And to make it worse it was Syrus own brother who had been responsible for his low self confidence. He wasn't going to sit by and let this stand.

...

Night had soon fallen and Jaden was standing on the beach with Zane across from him and the others standing on the side. Jaden had a hardened gaze at Zane with the older Truesdale brother staring back in the same way. After stoping Syrus from sailing away from the school Jaden had confronted the older Truesdale and challenged him to a duel.

"Let's be clear about something," Jaden spoke over the silence. "If I win, you give Syrus an apology for what you said to him."

Zane uncaring shrugged. "Sure... whatever. Just be sure to give me a challenge. After all, it would be a shame if the kid who beat Chazz and Crowler went down quick."

Jaden glared harder. "I can't wait until that attitude of yours is beaten into the ground and you're saying sorry to your brother." He said as they drew their opening hands.

"Let's duel!"

Jaden: 4000

Zane: 4000

Jaden drew a card. "I summon Elemental Hero Wildheart in attack mode!" The buff tan hero appeared and pulled his blade. (1500/ 1600) "Then I'm gonna place a facedown!" A reversed card appeared.

Zane drew his card. "That's all huh? Okay. For my first move, I summon Cyber Dragon in Attack Mode!"

The Slifers watched in amazement as a metallic dragon rose from the ground and curled up behind its master. ( 2100/1600)

"No way!" Jaden exclaimed, "How were you able to summon a Level Five monster on your first turn?"

"I can play the Cyber Dragon because it's my first turn, Jaden." Zane explained. "With no monsters of my own on the field, and one on yours, it requires no sacrifices. Now I play Mystical Space Typhoon to destroy your facedown card."

Jaden turned away as his facedown was blown away by a miniature tornado. "Well that was fast..."

"Not as fast as your Life Points will go down. Cyber Dragon, attack Wildheart with Strident Blast!" Zane commanded.

The metallic dragon rose and let out a stream of fire, engulfing Wildheart completely.

Jaden: 3400

Zane: 4000

Syrus watched silently as his friend was already on the fast track to losing this duel. 'I tried to warn him that Zane was good...'

"Next..." Zane held up a card. "I'll activate the Spell Card, Different Dimension Capsule!" He declared as a strange looking sarcophagus with a clock emblazoned in the center appeared. "This allows me to take a card from my deck, place it into the capsule, and in two turns, add it to my hand."

Jaden watched as the capsule opened up, letting the holo-card inside and closing before sinking beneath the ground. "Wow..." He said, as he wiped the end of his nose. "That's gotta be the best card of his entire deck. I can't wait to see what comes outta there!"

'I can...' Syrus thought miserably. 'Cause it's not gonna be pretty...'

"It's your move, Jaden..." Zane said.

'I know and I better make this move count.' Jaden thought as he looked at Zane and his metal dragon. 'Because I'm starting to see that he might be as good as everyone says he is...maybe even better...but that's not gonna stop me! I will keep on fighting and show him just how bad of a brother he is!'

"Alright, Round Two!" Jaden drew his next card, "First, I'm gonna rock Polymerization, then I'm gonna roll both Elemental Heroes Sparkman (1600/1400) and Clayman (800/2000) and fuse them to create the Elemental Hero Thunder Giant (2400/1500)!".Both monsters enter a blue and orange vortex and the large, electrified armored Hero appeared on the field in all it's glory, letting out a might roar at the Cyber Dragon.

"Now, since his special ability destroys a monster with attack points lower than his own, your Cyber Dragon is vaporized!" Jaden explained as Thunder Giant struck the Cyber Dragon with a huge bolt of lightning, destroying it.

"Yes!" Jaden smiled as the dragon was blasted, "Looks like the big man on campus just got a little bit smaller, wouldn't you say?"

Chumley nodded, "Yeah, I'd say that!"

"Nice move Jay!" Mana cheered

"And the best part about that..." Jaden smiled some more. "... is that that blast was just Thunder Giant's special ability. He still has his own attack, which I'm gonna use on you!"

gathered a large amount of energy in its hands and fired it at Zane, hitting him dead on. However, Zane didn't even move. He just stood there calmly as his Life Points went down a large deal.

Zane: 1600

Jaden: 3400

"You know you could at least flinch a little..." Jaden muttered as he inserted a card into a slot. "Oh well...maybe this facedown card will get you later. Looks like you'll be apologizing soon."

'Yeah...if Jaden lasts long enough to use his card...' Syrus thought, turning to his brother.

"Nice moves, kid." Zane said as he drew. "Looks like you live up to your talk. But you made a mistake," Jaden stared confused. "Now that my field is empty again, I can bring out another Cyber Dragon..."

An identical metallic dragon appeared in front of Zane, a distorted growl coming from within. ( 2100/1600)

"...or better yet, two!" Zane held up a card. "I play the Spell Card, Monster Reborn! With just one monster in my Graveyard, you can guess who I'm bringing back!" He said as his disk glowed and his first Cyber Dragon was revived, standing next to his second one. (2100/1600)

"Then I play Pot of Greed to pick up twice," Zane took two cards, his expression not changing at his find. "But neither of my dragons will be here for long..." Zane took another card from his hand, Polymerization. "In present form anyway. Dragons, unite!" He commanded as both monsters swirled together into a black void, "Cyber-Twin Dragon, emerge!"

From the dark void, a new monster appeared. This had the heads of both Dragons, but the body of one, each head with a different circle of color. One yellow, and one blue. ( 2800/ 2100)

"Twin Dragon?!" Chumley stared at the new creature in awe, "One was tough enough already!"

"My Twin Dragon can attack twice in a round, Jaden!" Zane pointed to the Thunder Giant. "Meaning double the trouble for your monster and your Life Points! Twin Dragon, attack!" He commanded. The dragon breathed out its attack, dismantling Jaden's hero.

Jaden: 3000

Zane: 1600

Not so fast!" Jaden pushed a button, "I've got a Trap! A Hero Emerges! Now normally, you'd have to randomly select a card from my hand and if it was a monster, I'd get to summon it. But since it's the only card in my hand, I'll just bring him out! Wroughtweiler (800/1200), come on out in Defense Mode!"

A large, black metal dog appeared next to Thunder Giant in a defensive crouch.

"Nice save," Zane complimented. "But its still not gonna stop my attack." The Twin Dragon continued and destroyed Jaden's monster. "Then I'll place this facedown to end my turn." A reversed card appeared on Zane's field.

"He saved himself from taking a bunch of damage," Alexis noted. She smiled. "Jaden just keeps on surprising me."

"Since I have an Evil Hero on my fields, I can stop one attack." Jaden smirked. "Looks like I win since you're gonna take 4000 points of damage!"

"Go Jaden!" His friends cheered.

Zane smirked. "Clever move... if it weren't for this..." Jaden's eyes widened as he stared at Zane's card.

Trap Jammer...

Jaden watched as his trap was destroyed and as his Hero was obliterated in a giant blast right before the leftover damage came right at him, hitting him dead on. After the blow, he fell to his knees, but his head remained high.

Jaden: 0

Zane: 1600 (Winner)

"Jaden!" Chumley and Syrus yelled.

Alexis stared. "I can't believe it...he lost..."

"Never thought I see the day..." Mito muttered,

Jaden stood from his knees. "I might've lost the duel, but the real loser here is you, Zane." Jaden didn't mind that he lost. He knew he couldn't win them all, Even if his life points hit zero, his point was proven. Any real brother would apologize regardless if he won the duel or not. Zane just proved what kind of person he was and that was worth more then winning a simple duel.

Zane said nothing as he turned away when a voice called out.

"Hold it!" Everyone turned to see Naruto along with Yusei and Akiza walking on to the beach. The blond sending a glare towards the Kiazer.

"Why don't you try taking me on." Naruto said holding up his deck to the cyber duelist. Zane had seen Naruto's duels and was impressed with his skills.

"Fine by me. I've been interested in facing your Synchro Summoning first hand." Zane said facing Naruto.

"Let's Duel!"

Naruto: 4000

Zane:4000

"I'll go first. Draw!" Naruto said as he draw his card. Naruto scans his cards for a few seconds before finally making his move. "I use the spell card: Pot of Greed to draw 2 cards from my deck." Naruto said before he draw his cards. "Now I summon Celtic Guardian of Nobel Arms (2100/700) in attack mode." An elf wielding two swords dressed in green armor with matching green boots and gloves and a long red cape.

"And thanks to his special ability I'm able to summon a Celtic Guardian monster from my hand. Appear Celtic Guardian (1400/1200)." With a swipe of both his swords a new elf dressed in green and brown holding a sword appeared with a grunt.

"I'll set two cards face down, and my turn." Naruto finished. "Your move."

"I've never seen Naruto use those cards before." Syrus said with confusion.

"Bro must be using another deck this time." Jaden said knowing his brother has three different decks. He just wondered which one.

"My turn, draw." Zane draws his cards and looks at it before he made his move. "I special summon Cyber Dragon (2100 / 1600) in attack mode."

"Zane sure isn't wasting any time!" Mana exclaimed.

"I hope Naruto can handle it." Chumley said while both he and Syrus look on with worry.

Yusei and Akiza however we're fully confident in Naruto's skills.

'That's one heck of ability.' Naruto thought. He never learn much about the Cyber Dragon since he was more focus on his own deck but he knows about Zane ace card, Cyber end Dragon.

"Now I summon Proto-Cyber Dragon (1100 / 600) in attack position." Zane said and another mechanical dragon appeared in Zane side but looks like a downgraded version of Cyber Dragon. "Now the effect of this monster is that once it's summon in the field. It's treated as Cyber Dragon." Zane said. The Proto Cyber Dragon let out a roar. "Now I use the spell card Mystical space typhoon to destroy one of your facedown cards." Soon a powerful gust of wind happened. Soon the right card near Naruto was opened and reveal to be Mirror Force. The card was shattered into pieces.

"Now Battle! I attack your Monster with my Cyber Dragon!" Zane said. The Cyber Dragon charges towards Celtic Guardian.

"Trap card open Negate Attack, this not only blocks your attack but ends the battle." Naruto said as a swirling barrier appeared blocking the flames.

"Now I'll a activate the Spell card Six Samurai United, next I'll summon Six Samurai- Nisashi(1400/700)." Another samurai appeared like Enishi he wore green armor but let's advanced and wielding twin green energy swords.

"I'm not done yet either, I now overlay both my level 4 Celtic Guardians!" Naruto said as both monsters became orange energy and small red portal formed beneath him.

"What's this..." Zane said.

"W..what's going on here." Alexis said with confusion. "This isn't Synchro Summoning."

"No it's another form of summoning, Xyz summon." Akiza explained.

"Xyz summon?" Mito muttered

"With both these monsters I build the overlay network." Naruto said as both lights enter the portal.

"Noble warrior of blue flames reborn with the power of the king now appear and slice through evil with your noble sword!" Naruto chanted as the portal unleashed an explosion.

"Xyz summon! Come forth Shadow of the Six Samurai!" Naruto yelled. The warrior looked like Kagemusha only dressed in armor similar to Shi En's the only difference is he wore a purple sleeveless jacket, with purple lights surrounding him.

"Xyz summon..." Zane gasped 'So this is the other new Summoning I've heard rumors about.'

"I activate Shadow of the Six Samurai's ability by using one overlay unit I can increase the Attack points of a Six Samurai monster on my feild to 2500 until the end phase!" Naruto said as Shadow absorbed the light into his sword and swiping Nisashi who became surrounded by a golden aura. (1400-2000).

"Battle! Shadow destroy Cyber Dragon, Nisashi take down Proto-Cyber dragon!" Both Naruto's monsters charged forward slicing both machines in half resulting in a small explosion that pushed Zane back.

Naruto: 4000

Zane: 4000-2700

"And thanks to Nisashi's ability he can attack twice per turn as long as I have a Six Samurai on the feild." Nisashi charged at Zane slicing him with his twin swords.

Naruto: 4000

Zane:2700-700

"I set one card face down and end my turn." Naruto said while the other watched on.

"Oh man bros already wiped out most of Zane's life points." Jaden said with a smile as Mana and Chumley cheered while Syrus, Alexis and Mito looked on with shock.

Zane rose to his feet a looked at Naruto with a grin. "Not bad at all. Ad expected of the son of the Yellow Flash." Zane said causing Naruto's to widen.

"Uh oh." Mana groaned knowing Naruto didn't like when some one brought up his former family.

"Your wrong." Naruto said lowly.

"I beg to differ, the blond hair and blue eyes are dead give away not to mention your face is the same as the Red flame Kushina Uzu..." Zane said before Naruto cut him off.

"If you say that bitches name it'll be the last thing you ever do!" Naruto said with rage as a clod wind filled the air.

"You know for someone who's been talking about my family matters you really should worry about your own." Zane said as Naruto clenched his hands into tight fists. He had heard from Alexis about the way he had treated Mito and had done some research into his past.

"What do you mean by that?" Naruto demanded.

"The fact you comment on how I treat my brother, but your no better in the way you treat Mito, your sister." Zane replied evenly.

"That worthless bitch is no family of mine!" Naruto yelled. "She and he damned family are nothing to me, they treated me like garbage and damn tramp like she was a kami damn princess! I WAS NEGLECTED FOR 7 YEARS AND NOBODY GIVE A DAMN ABOUT ME! EVERY TIME ID WIN A DUEL MITO WOULD CRY AND COMPLAIN LIKE AND THAT BASTARD WOULD FORCE ME TO GIVE UP MY CARDS TO MAKE HERE HAPPY." Naruto said blood leaking into the sand, as his hair begane to spike up his whiskers became more defined.

"Mito is that true?" Alexis asked her best friend who looked away unable to face.

"THEY WERE NOTHING TO ME THEN AND THEY ARE NOTHING TO ME NOW!, AND ANY WHO COMPARES TO THEM WILL GET NO MERCY FROM ME!" Naruto yelled. "NOW MAKE YOUR MOVE SO I CAN FINISH THIS!"

Jaden, Chumley, and Syrus were all frozen in shock and fear especially Jaden. He had never seen his brother filled with some much hate and anger before. Yusei, Mana, and Akiza looked on with worry as a black aura begane to surround Naruto's body. Mito had tears flowing down her cheeks hurt by Naruto's hateful words Alexis placed a gentle hand on her shoulder trying to comfort her best friend.

"Very well than, my move" Zane said as he draws his card.

"My move, Draw!" Zane draw his card and look at it. Soon a smirk appeared on his face. "Now I activate the Spell card Graceful Charity. I draw 3 cards from my deck and discard 2 cards from my hand." Zane draws three cards and immediately discarded 2 cards to the graveyard zone.

"Now I use the Spell card, PowerBond!" Zane said as the card appeared on the field. "With this I can Fusion Summon a Machine-type Fusion Monster by sending the appropriate Fusion Material Monsters to the Graveyard." Zane said.

"What!?" Jaden, Syrus, and Mana exclaimed.

"Now I use this spell card Cybernetic Fusion Support!" Zane said as the card is shown in the field. "With this. All I have do is pay half of my life points and If all the Fusion Material Monsters for that monster are in my Graveyard. I remove them from play to use this card as a substitute for the Fusion Material Monsters used in the Fusion Summon. So, I Fusion Summon, Cyber End Dragon! (4000 / 2800)" Soon a powerful light appeared above Zane and when the light was gone, a winged metallic dragon appeared with three heads attached to his body and roars escaping from all three heads.

"Fusion Materials. You don't have- Wait a minute." Naruto remembers when Zane discarded two cards into the graveyard. "When you used the Graceful Charity. You send your last Cyber Dragon in your hand into the graveyard." Naruto said as realized what Zane did in order to use Cyber Fusion Support.

Zane nodded and said. "Right. Now thanks to Power Bond. My Cyber End Dragon Attack points is doubled." (4000 -8000) "This ends right here, Naruto. Go Cyber End Dragon. Super Strident Blaze!"

The three headed dragon released a powerful beam attack towards Celestia. Soon a smirk appeared on Naruto face.

"I activate my face down card De -fusion! This splits your one dragon back into three." Naruto said as Zane's Cyber end split back into a trio of mechanical serpents.

"I end my turn." Zane said.

"It's my move now, DRAW!" Naruto said drawing his neck card with great force that it created a shock wave. "I paly the spell card Card of Sanctity, now we both must draw until he hold six cards." Naruto said as he and Zane added new cards to their hands.

Naruto looked over his hand and smirked seeing the card he had in his hand. "I'll by special summoning tSix Samurai-Kizan (1800/700) in attack mode." Naruto said as three copies of the black armored warrior appear. "And thanks to their abilities with two other Six Samurais his attack points go up by 300." (1800-2100)

A dark smirk appears on Naruto's face as his hair sticks upwards, his became red with slits, and he is body surrounded by a dark aura. "I now activate Natural Tuning, this turns one level 4 or lower monster into a tuner monster, and I'll use it my Kizan and tune him with my two Kizan's together." Naruto said as both monsters jump into the air one Kizan became four green rings surrounding the other.

"In an inferno of power and might, a blazing new beast is now forged!" Naruto chanted and soon a pillar of light appeared behind him.

"Synchro summon! Come forth my very soul! Red Dragon Archfiend (3000 /2000)!" Naruto roared as the pillar disappeared and soon a giant vicious dragon with red and black skin with a demonic features appeared behind him. The dragon let out a mighty roar that created a powerful shockwave. Soon the black aura surrounding Naruto moved on to his dragon and it's eyes became red.

"Now I activate my Trap card Crimson Hell Rage, by sacrificing another monster on my feild it's attacks are added to my Red Dragon Archfiend!" Naruto grinned as Shadow was consumed by the dark aura and consumed by the fearsome dragon it's right claw begane to glow red and it's claw grew larger. (3000-5500).

"Now rip those pathetic metal snakes to shreds!" Naruto roared as Red Dragon changed raising it's claw before slashing the three Cyber Dragons into pieces the resulting explosion pushing Zane away knocking him to the ground.

Naruto: 4000(winner)

Zane :350-0

Naruto clenched his chest and grit his teeth in pain as the dark aura began to subside, before falling to his knees.

"Naruto!" Jaden and the others cried rushing to Naruto's side.

"Is here alright?" Akiza asked with worry as Yusei helped Naruto on his shoulder.

"Yeah, just tired. We better get him back to the dorm." Yusei said.

"I'll carry him." Chumley said as Yusei placed Naruto on large boys back. The slifer group ran back to the dorm leaving the three Obelisk.

"Zane are you okay?" Alexis asked helping her friend to his feet.

"Yeah a bit roughed up, but I'm okay." Zane said as he dust himself off. He then noticed the heart broken expression on Mito's face. "Mito are you okay."

Mito lowered her head "I'm fine..." she said lowly. "Let's get back to the dorm." Mito said walking past her two friends.

"Mito..." Alexis said with worry. She knew that Naruto's words had to have hurt Mito badly.

"Don't get involved Alexis, this is something Mito has to workout on her own." Zane said putting his hand on the Obelisk queens shoulder.
