A/N: In this, the Overseas Champs will arrive a season early with the exception of Viper. That means Jesse, Jim, Axel and Adrian will also be a part of this. So technically it follows the sort of AU timeline I have set up. Enjoy folks!

Last Time

He nodded with a slightly evil smile. "It's the only way I can feel worthy of your love so yes. Alexis I wish to join the Society of Light."

She smiled wickedly before she and Jaden shared a laugh.. an evil laugh…

End Flashback

A short time later, she and Jaden came out of the White Dorm, the latter in white rather than his familiar red.

Hassleberry's eyes widened in shock. "Jaden is that you?" He asked.

Jaden grinned evilly. "Yes, Hassleberry it's me." He replied kissing Alexis' cheek.

Alexis giggled and kissed back as Hassleberry stared at him in confusion. "What are ya doing in white, son?" He asked.

Jaden laughed. "I've seen the Light!"

Hassleberry frowned. Deep down he'd hate himself for this.

"Why I oughta crush you son! How dare you join the enemy's lines!" He shouted angrily.

Syrus snickered. "Your just jealous, Hassleberry." He replied.

"Say what?!" Hassleberry exclaimed.

"You heard me. Your jealous!" Sy said, cackling evilly.

Hassleberry growled softly.

"Face it. Your all alone.." Jaden taunted.

Alexis snickered and nodded.

An older boy wearing a cowboy hat and had a pet crocodile in a special pouch came running.

"G'day mates. What's all the commotion?" He said.

He spoke with a heavy Australian accent.

"Jim, Sarge here has joined the enemy." Hassleberry replied, gesturing to the whitened Jaden.

"Crikey! That aughta present a problem there, mate." Jim replied.

"I have a way we can settle this." Jaden replied.

"What is it, mate?" Jim asked.

"We duel. If you lose, you join the Society of Light." Jaden replied, with a grin.

Shirley growled, from her position in Jim's backpack indicating she didn't particulary like the stakes.

"Don't do it, soldier! He's too dangerous to duel!" Hassleberry urged.

Jim looked deep in thought, as if contemplating the stakes himself.

"You have a point there, mate." Jim replied.

Jaden frowned, thinking his challenge would be turned down.

Hassleberry sighed in relief, hoping Jim's decision was final.

"But Jaden is your friend, right mate?" Jim asked, with a slight smile.

Hassleberry smiled back and nodded. "That's right soldier, Jaden is my friend." He replied.

"Then I'll be the one to rescue him for ya, mate."

Jaden grinned. "Excellent. Meet me at the White Dorm's arena in one hour, got it?" Jaden asked.

"Right, mate. Now let's go duel! Shirley ya ready?" Jim asked.

Shirley gave an affirmative growl.

Jim grinned, as he left for the time being to go prepare his deck for what would be the toughest duel of his life.

Alexis looked at Jaden with a little concern. "You sure about this, Jaden?" She asked.

Jaden nodded as he kissed her. "Yes. I will defeat him and make him see the Light!"

Hassleberry growled. "We'll see, Jaden." He said with some bitterness as he left for the time being.

Jaden and Alexis turned around and headed to their rooms for awhile.

This duel would determine both Jim and Jaden's fate..
