Jaden leans on his desk as he scrolls through some of his messages on his PDA. He then sighs and walks out of his room and looks around at the cafeteria of the Slifer dorm, noting how many people are gone. Jaden sighed softly and sits down and seems to perk up slightly as Syrus walks down with a yawn. "Hey Sy, do you wanna have a practice duel?"
Syrus perks up slightly as he sits across from Jaden. "Sure, though I don't know if I would be able to beat you." Syrus pulls out his deck and starts to set up. Jaden's eyes light up and do the same. "You're really bored aren't you?" Syrus states as he yawns and just places a few cards down.
"Yeah, since everyone left for winter break and there are no classes, we are going to duel all day!" Jaden exclaims happily as he just smirks at a slightly paled Syrus. After a couple hours of practice duels, Jaden frowns and looks off to the side a small jolt running up his spine.
Syrus gains a confused look on his face. "What's up Jay?"
"I don't know." Jaden states as he looks out the corner of his eye, Yubel sitting on a table, their three eyes glaring to the west. 'Yubel, do you know what this is?'
Yubel shakes their head before sighing. 'This is so frustrating. I feel like something should be happening, you know?' Jaden nods softly as he turns back to Syrus.
"Sy, I am going to go for a walk. I need to think about something." Syrus just blinks at this before nodding shakily.
"What's the matter?"
"Something isn't sitting well in my stomach, and I need to go and try and see what is happening. I'll be back." With this Jaden turns and walks out the Slifer doors and sighs hard, before he closes his eyes. He then turns and starts walking off into the woods, the shadows wrapping around him.
Torrey smirks as he looks at the Jinzo card on his desk, his two friends standing next to him. "Come on Jinzo, we call you to our world. Let us hear your voice and how we can summon you." Torrey called out, his friends echoing his words as he looks around.
"I told you Tor, it wouldn't work." Isaka speaks out as he looks around and goes to get rid of the candles before thunder claps.
"I … need … three … sacrifices." The three boys eyes widen and smiles appear on all their faces. "If … I am … to appear." The voice continues as the boys nod their heads, almost all at the exact same time.
"You can get those three sacrifices Jinzo, appear before us." The three boys each pull out their rarest cards, laying them before the Jinzo card, before they can hear a dark laughter can be heard.
"Thank you." The voice says as the candles go out in an instant. Mukouda screams and turns around, looking down at his legs. His friends look in terror as a static like energy crawls up his body. "You three will make great sacrifices." Then Mukouda disappears as the static energy covers his head, then Isaka gasps.
Torrey freezes as his two friends are being consumed by the weird energy, he bursts out of the library fear evident in his eyes. He just runs, thinking that if he could get away, he wouldn't fade away. His eyes drift to where he knows the docks are before he slams into a brown haired, red jacket boy.
"Ow, what's the rush?" The boy states and stands up, wiping of some dirt off of his body. Torrey frowns, seeming to recognize some part of him in the back of his mind. He quickly shakes his head before standing up, still agitated.
"I-I need to leave the island!"
"Why?"
"I can't say. You wouldn't believe me anyway." Torrey states frantically as he just stands up and goes to push back the Slifer.
The Slifer frowns and catches Torrey's arm, giving a stern look. "Try me." The cold golden eyes of the Slifer digs into Torrey's soul as he shakes softly in his grip.
He starts talking, stammering through the story, on how his friends and him wanted to summon a duel spirit. They wanted to do this, just to see if the spirits actually existed, how many tries it took for them to actually summon one. Then the turn from amazing, to horrible. Jinzo's voice called out for three sacrifices, and thinking that he meant their rarest cards. However, from the tone Jinzo took, revealed that he wanted their souls.
The Slifer's eyes narrow before he smacks the back of Torrey's head. The latter boy glares at the Slifer. "Why did you do that?"
"Why the hell did you and your friends try to summon a duel spirit?" The Slifer shoots back, anger evident in his voice. "Because I wanted to know if I could." The Slifer mocks as he sighs and closes his eyes.
Torrey just stands there, frozen from the anger of this Slifer. If he had paid more attention, he would have seen the shadows thicken and swirl around the Slifer.
"Hehehe." Jinzo's voice chuckles from the darkness and Torrey freezes and looks around in the woods. "Look who we found here, a small little coward, hiding in the shadow of the King."
Torrey shivers as he sees the cloaked, and staticy version of Jinzo, just barely standing in the faint moonlight. A hat and a long trench coat covers this spirit as Jinzo looks forward, his face obscured by the shadows. "Wh-what do you mean? Who is this 'King'?" Torrey states before freezing up and looking at the Slifer. "W-wait I remember you! Y-you defeated Professor Crowler, J-Jaden Yuki right?"
Jaden nods his head, his dark gold eyes just glaring at Jinzo. "Release those three from the contract the idiotically signed with you."
"I have no reason to Supreme King, after all, they called my spirit here not the other way around."
"Yes, but they didn't know the cost, they didn't know that their own souls would be the sacrifice. You still tricked them into a contract." Jaden growls this last part as more darkness drifts from him into the surrounding area.
"Would you take their place? After all, if you were to be my sacrifice I could become whole in this world, and even more!" With this, Jinzo laughs loudly making Torrey even more scared, if that were at all possible.
"No, I won't, but I will duel you for their lives. If you win you take Torrey" Torrey jumps at this as Jaden laughs in his head. "If you lose however, you will release them from their contract."
Jinzo seems to consider this before nodding his head, an evil light behind his goggles. "I will allow it. I must add, you will not attack me if I were to win."
"If you win, I will give you a year to do what you want, though you will have to know the King of Games will be there to stop you." Jaden countered as he smirked softly.
"Fine." Jinzo snarls as he turns around.
"W-wait, wh-where are you going?" Torrey speaks up as he just shakes softly.
"I need more power to be able to duel. I will be at one of the generators King." Jinzo states as he walks off leaving the two students behind. One with a fearsome golden glow in his eyes, the other scared out of his mind.
Jaden walks into the power stations on the island and glares at Jinzo as electricity arcs towards him. "So are we going to do this or what?" Jaden activates his duel disk and gets into a duel position.
"Yes, let us duel!"
Yuki: 4000
Jinzo: 4000
Jinzo holds one hand out as five cards appear before him. "I will be being! Draw!" A card appears with Jinzo's hand and hums softly as he then summons "Appear to me, Malice Doll of Demise in attack mode!"
[Malice Doll of Demise Type: Fiend/ Attribute: Dark
ATK: 1600
DEF: 1700]
"I then activate Ectoplasmer, which will begin the end of you oh great King." The card appears behind the monster as Jinzo glares a hard red light. "I end my turn, which activates Ectoplasmer, taking off half of his attack points and dealing you that damage."
A ghost appears out of the Ectoplasmer card pierces Malice Doll and shoots towards Jaden, making him grunt from the attack.
Yuki: 3200
"My move then, draw!" Jaden draws his card and summons Avian in attack mode.
[Elemental Hero Avian Type:Warrior/ Attribute: Wind
ATK: 1000
DEF: 1000]
"I then set two cards face down and attack you directly." Avian leaps up and sends his feathers towards Jinzo, as they clash against him.
"GAH!" Jinzo stumbles back as his life points drop.
Jinzo: 3000
"Then I activate Mirage of Nightmares this way I can draw four cards during your turn. I then set one more card to end my turn." The cards appear as Ectoplasmer releases the ghost once again as it presses into Avian's back, sending his spirit slam into Jinzo's body.
Jinzo: 2500
Jinzo huffs through his mask as a new card enters his hand. "Now my Malice Doll of Demise resumes itself during my Standby Phase."
"And Mirage of Nightmares activates as well, letting me draw four cards. Then I can activate Emergency Provisions allowing me to destroy the card and heal by 1000 Life Points." One of Jaden's face down cards activate, destroying Mirage of Nightmares, some energy flowing into Jaden.
Yuki: 4200
"It does not matter, I will defeat you. I now summon my Emissary of the Afterlife in attack mode."
[Emissary of the Afterlife Type: Fiend/ Attribute: Dark
ATK: 1600
DEF: 600]
"Now Emissary attack the King directly, Vicious Slash!" Emissary rushes at Jaden, who has a smirk on his face.
"I activate, A Villain Emerges! This card is very similar to A Hero Emerges, but the difference is I get to choose the monster! So appear before me, Malicious Edge in attack mode!" The monster appears and glares at Emissary of the Afterlife, his claws in position to kill.
[Evil Hero Malicious Edge Type: Fiend/ Attribute: Earth
ATK: 2600
DEF: 1800]
"Tch." Jinzo scoffs at this as he stops his attack. "I set a card face down and end my turn. Because of Ectoplasmer's ability, I will tribute my Emissary to deal 800 damage to my enemy."
Yuki: 3400
"Then Emissary activates, allowing both of us a Level three or lower monster to our hands. I choose a Thousand Eyes Idol." The card appears next to his hand as he views his cards.
"I choose Elemental Hero Burstinatrix to my hand." The card shoots out of his deck as he adds it to his hand. "Then it's my turn, I draw." Jaden pulls his card out and smirks softly to himself. "I summon Elemental Hero Clayman in attack mode and I equip to him Clay Wrap, to him."
[Elemental Hero Clayman Type: Warrior/ Attribute: Earth
ATK: 800
DEF: 2000]
Clayman appears on Jaden's side in defense mode, and the orange energy of Clay Wrap, curls around Clayman, making him shinier.
"I then activate my Dark Fusion, combining the Clayman on my field with my Burstinatrix to summon, Evil Hero Infernal Sniper in defense mode."
[Evil Hero Infernal Sniper Type: Fiend/ Attribute: Fire
ATK: 2000
DEF: 2500]
"Now, Clay Wrap activates, allowing me to destroy one spell or trap on the field, and I choose Ectoplasmer!" The Clay Wrap appears out of Jaden's graveyard and wraps around the card, crushing it. "Now Malicious Edge, attack his Malice Doll of Demise with Malicious Carver!" Malicious Edge leaps at the doll, spirals appear around his claws before it tinks against a spiral defense based card.
"I activate my Negate Attack, nullifying your attack and battle phase." Jinzo laughs out before he looks at Infernal Sniper.
"That may be true, but Sniper's ability lets me deal you 1000 damage once per turn. So go Infernal Flame!" On the tip of Infernal Sniper's gun, shoots out burning onto Jinzo's body, a small explosion rang out.
Jinzo: 1500
"Two more rounds of that and you are out!" Jaden comments as Jinzo stumbles out of the small dust cloud, his goggles and some of his mask blew up by the blast. Jinzo wheezes out a small laugh and cough before he adds the next card to his hand.
"I activate monster reborn, to re summon my Malice Doll of Demise."
[Malice Doll of Demise Type: Fiend/ Attribute: Dark
ATK: 1600
DEF: 1700]
"Then, I sacrifice my doll to summon myself, Jinzo!" the doll vanishes as a perfect copy of Jinzo steps forward, prepared for the fight.
[Jinzo Type: Machine/ Attribute: Dark
ATK: 2400
DEF: 1500]
"Now I activate Pot of Greed to draw two cards." The Pot appears then vanishes as two cards add themselves to Jinzo's hand. "I then equip myself with Amplifier, and Upgrade 0. Amplifier will allow me to activate trap cards while you can't, and Upgrade 0 will increase my attack points whenever I discard a card."
[Upgrade 0
Equip this card to a machine type monster. Once per turn, discard a monster card from your hand; increase that monsters attack by 100 X that discarded monster's level, until the end of that turn]
"I now discard my Barrel Dragon, which is a level 7 monster, to increase my attack points by 700 attack points."
ATK: 2400 → 3100
"Now, I attack your Infernal Sniper. Magnetic Wave!" Jinzo raises his hands, as a dark energy shakes and seems to contract before shooting towards Infernal Sniper, crashing into Infernal Sniper which starts being torn apart by the magnetic force before it shatters.
Jaden grunts softly as he shields his eyes. "Destroying my monster that deals 1000 damage per turn is pretty smart."
"Hehehe. Yes, and because of my card, I will easily beat you. I end my turn with one face down card." The card goes from Jinzo's hand and lay themselves before him as Jaden draws his card. "Now I activate Upgrade 0's effect, and discard a second copy of myself, to increase my attack power to 3000."
ATK: 2400 → 3000
"Don't think that boost will help you." Jaden states as he looks over his hand. "I then activate Dark Calling, to draw Infernal Sniper and my Malicious Edge to summon, Malicious Fiend!"
[Evil Hero Malicious Fiend Type: Fiend/ Attribute: Fire
ATK: 3500
DEF: 2100]
"I then activate Aduster Gold's ability from my hand, and add a Dark Fusion to my hand. I then activate it to fuse Avian and Wildheart in my hand to summon Evil Hero Wild Cyclone in attack mode!"
[Evil Hero Wild Cyclone Type: Fiend/ Attribute: Earth
ATK: 1900
DEF: 2300]
"I then activate Evil Bombardment from my hand! This card can let me tribute one Evil Hero from my field and destroy one card on yours. The card I choose is Malicious Fiend! Destroy his Amplifier!"
[Evil Bombardment
Target one Evil Hero monster on your side of the field, tribute that monster. Destroy one face up card on your opponent's side of the field when this card's effect is resolved.]
Malicious Fiend smirks at this and glows with Bombardment's power and lifts up, soaring into the card, destroying Jinzo along with the Amplifier.
"I then attack you with Wild Cyclone, end this duel!" Cyclone lifts off the ground and soars at Jinzo who takes a step back.
"I activate my trap-"
"WRONG!" Jaden smirks at this as Cyclone lands in front of Jinzo. "Whenever Wild Cyclone attacks, my opponent cannot activate spells and traps in response." Jaden smirks and raises his hand. "Wild Winds!" Wild Cyclone raises his wings and starts shaking them, causing harsh winds start rising, tearing at Jinzo.
Jinzo: 0000
He collapses to his knees as his energy starts dispersing. Jaden goes and kneels next to the disappearing spirit. "So, I need to ask you something."
"And … what is that?" Jinzo gurgles out and looks up at Jaden.
"Who took Atticus Rhodes? What happened in the Purple Dorm?"
Jinzo laughs at this, a small gurgle escaping his mask. "He … was not … taken as you … seem to think." Jaden's eyes widen at this as Jinzo, fades more. "He was … brought out … by the … Sha-dows Ri-" Jinzo vanishes before he could finish his sentence. Energy from his position goes into the generator, and a spark goes up the cables towards the Obelisk dorm.
Jaden sighs and stands up as he starts heading to the dorm himself. He pushes into the library and look around, whistling softly as he stares at the architecture of the place. "Kaiba, you are an ass." Jaden states off topically as he looks towards the center of the library, the three boys scared out of their minds. "So have the three of you learned your lesson?" He narrows his eyes, glaring at the three boys.
"Y-yeah!" Torrey manages out as the other two look at Jaden confused before their eyes widen.
"You're telling me, Torrey, that a Slifer saved us?!" Isaka looks at Jaden shocked and seemed kinda pissed.
"Yeah, I saved your sorry asses, and I should have just let Jinzo consume your souls if that is how you are going to react. Thing is, if I didn't, he would have attacked more people." Jaden sneers at the three boys, who feel pure fear shoot up their spines.
At this all three of them drop to their hands and knees, tears pouring out of their faces comically. They repeat over and over 'We're sorry' and 'We'll never do it again'.
"All right, all right." Jaden waves his hands as a sweat drop appears on his head. "I won't tell anyone this happened, as long as you three NEVER do that again." Jaden growls out the never and glares down at them. They nod their heads collectively as Jaden nods his head. "Good, now I am going to go and sleep at the Slifer dorm." Jaden walks out of the Obelisk dorm and wipes his mouth on his sleeve, getting some blood wiped up. "Was I bleeding?" He asks dazed before he starts towards the Slifer Dorm.
Jaden manages to return to his dorm without anyone really spotting him, as he collapses onto his bed. He then groans as he rubs his side slightly. "Ugh, I hate dueling spirits!"
'At least you learned something about Atticus.'
"Blah, blah, blah Yubel." Jaden waves Yubel off as he just goes more into his bed. Yubel laughs at this and just pets Jaden's head as he slowly drifts off to sleep.
AND CUT! Welp, this is something that I just got through. So how with all of you guys who are still following me, thank you so much for sticking around. I don't know if I am a good writer, but seeing the 10s of thousands of reads that I am seeing through the system is well awesome.
I was thinking about doing another story, I know I am bad at keeping up with all my stories (one is on indefinite Hiatus, and the other I just started), but I really want to do this one. If anyone would like to co-author it with me so that I can keep up with the rest of my stuff, and we both can gain a new way of writing. If you want to know my idea PM me and we can start talking.
Anyway, thank you all again for reading, and see you all next time.
