Chapter 11: Rakaia's Tale & Jaden's Duel

Meanwhile at The Abandoned Dorm

After Alexis and Luna had finished their Duel between the Elemental Six members who opposed them, the gang was reunited. Rakaia, who had fallen into a comatose state had finally woken up, with new information on the Elemental Six. Luna was resting her head on his lap while Jaden was doing the same with Alexis. Lucas was leaning on Lucas who was focused on hearing what The Dragon Duelist had to say.

"Alright guys It goes Like this-" he began, but he was cut off.

"It's getting late" Lucas said, standing up looking at the sky. "We need to get out of here" he stated.

"Umm Luke, where're we gonna go?" Luna asked. "Even though the storm cleared up, I'm not sure if the rest of the island is safe" she stated, as Alexis nodded. Jaden and Rakaia were looking at Lucas, thinking he'd have an answer. Lucas leaned against the wall and crossed his arms as if thinking.

"I don't know but we can't stay here, The Six knew we were here somehow...We can't stay in the same spot waiting for them to challenge us" he answered, as Rakaia nodded.

I'm with Lucas" he stated, as he stood up and walked to where Lucas was leaning. "I say Let's go" he stated.

Jaden grinned and stood up, Alexis stood up shrugging her shoulders with a smile. Rose and Luna were the only ones who weren't standing up.

"I dunno about this" Luna said reluctantly. "What if they're expecting us to do this?" she questioned.

"Well, we've gotta face them sometime, might as well do it if we run into them" Jaden answered.

"Well That's good enough for me" Rose said, as she began standing up. Luna looked around and sighed, but also smiled.

"Well alright, but don't say I never warned you guys" she said, as she stood up and leaned on Rakaia's shoulder.

"We should also try to see if anybody else is around here...who knows maybe there are survivors" Alexis said.

"Alright guys, lets go" Rakaia said. The group began walking and left the dorm with Rakaia in the lead. They walked for about 20 minutes until they reached the Slifer Dorm. The group was shocked to see the state of it.

The Slifer Dorm had appeared as if it was never invaded by the Six. Everything was fixed and put together. Even the rooms of the Dorms were fixed.

"Wow...It's Like nobody was ever here" Jaden stated, as the gang went into his room, Except for Lucas. Lucas was looking around the Slifer Dorm, as though something was missing. It didn't seem right to him. He walked back into Jaden's room as everyone got comfortable and sat down.

"Guys we've got a problem" Lucas announced as he sat down in between Luna and Jaden.

"What's up?" Rakaia asked. Lucas took a deep breath and answered. "Don't you think it's strange how the Dorm is suddenly fixed up, but there's nobody here?" he asked, nobody said anything.

"I think the Six might be trying to trick us" he stated.

"That Might be true but, we don't really have anywhere else to go" Alexis said. "I mean, If we go back to the Abandoned Dorm they could be waiting for us there" she finished. Lucas nodded at this statement as he yawned and rubbed his eyes.

"I guess we're staying the night here" Luna said, as everyone nodded. "OK Rakaia, you wanted to tell us something?" she asked with a smile.

"Oh yeah I just...forgot I guess" Rakaia said, scratching the back of his head with a nervous grin. At this everybody else fell down anime-style.

"Oh wait, There was this thing Neos told me" he said as everybody's eyes were on him like he was crazy, Except Jaden who laughed at hearing this.

"No way! Neos is in MY deck" he said, still laughing.

"I know, I had a talk with him, Red Eyes, and the other monsters you guys use" Rakaia said as he also began to laugh.

Lucas, Luna, Alexis, and Rose looked at the two of them as if they were crazy. "Anyways" Alexis interjected, "What's on your mind?" she asked.

"Ok It goes Like This..." Rakaia began.

-Flashing back into Rakaia's Mind-

"Long ago, before Duel Monsters became a game, we Duel Monsters lived in our own world" Dark Magician Girl explained. "Back then our world was peaceful, each monster was treated as an equal regardless of their differences" she continued.

"Back then, ancient Sorcerers would occasionally summon us to battle against one another in trials called Shadow Games" Nephtys interjected earning a nod from Dark Magician Girl.

"Before the Pharoah's Time there were Six Sorcerers who each commanded a different Element" Neos said.

"Don't tell me-" Rakaia said. "The Elemental Six" he guessed. Neos nodded as the young Dragon Duelist sighed.

"This group existed years before the pharoah's time" Neos explained to the young Dragon Duelist. "Wait, how the hell did these guys exist before us? They look the same Age as us" Rakaia questioned.

"It's true that they are the same age as you, because these aren't the same Ancient Elemental Six, what you face today are merely their Reincarnations" Neos said.

"Reincarnations?" questioned the young Dragon Duelist scratching his head.

"Yes my boy reincarnations" Red Eyes said. "You see, the Six met their downfall at the hands of another group of Six warriors" he explained.

"That's good and all but how is it that they're out and about?" he asked. "I mean how is it that they have reincarnations?".

"It's because the Six were never Truly defeated" Neos explained. "The only way you can truly defeat the Six is to defeat Apocalypse".

"Apocalypse was never defeated, It was only sealed away" Nephthys said. "Apocalypse's power was said to be the darkest of all monsters".

"It's very existance threatened the very lives of all who stood against it" Dark Magician Girl stated. Nephthys lowered his head and spoke up. "It was a beast like no other, It even ATE it's own comrades just to sustain it's own power" he said.

"It killed humans and Duel Monsters alike" Red Eyes said. "You are in danger if Daemon is ever able to summon Apocalypse" he stated.

"Wait a moment Red Eyes, that is only if the boy is chosen" Nephthys explained. "If my holder is chosen I fear for this world and the other worlds to come" he said.

Rakaia glared at the great Duel Spirit. "That's really confident, just because he's a freshman doesn't mean he's that bad" he said. "I've seen him Duel and I for one have faith in him" he said, not dropping his angry look.

"It's not that I don't have any faith in him...It's something only WE can deal with" Nephthys said to the young Dragon Duelist.

"What do you mean?" he asked, as he dropped his glare. "What does Lucas have to deal with?" he asked.

"I'm sorry, but I can't explain that to you, it's the law of his clan" Nephthys explained, shaking his head.

"Back to the subject at hand" Neos interrupted. "Apocalypse can only be defeated if you defeat the rest of the Six" he said.

Rakaia was taking in all of this new information, he began pacing back and forth, and then it hit him.

"Wait a sec... What about the Sacred Beasts?" he asked. "Wouldn't they be a match for Apocalypse?" he asked, a glimmer of hope shining in his face.

"Hmmm...These monsters ARE powerful, who knows maybe they can defeat Apocalypse" he pondered. "Another thing you should know is the Sacred Beast's legend" Neos said.

"I've never heard about Legend..." Rakaia said, as Dark Magician Girl flew towards him making eye contact. "It's Like this-" she began.

"Raviel was the Dark Beast who possesed immense power, Hamon was the Light Beast who possesed Skill, but Uria was the beast who held the most Potential. Now compare their elements to that of your holders" she said.

Rakaia paused and scratched his head as he looked at Red Eyes, Neos, and Nephthys, analyzing their elements and skills.

"Hmmm...Red Eyes is Dark, Neos is Light, and Phoenix is Fire" he said. "But what do our Elements have to do with these cards?" he asked.

"Trust Me You'll know when the time is right" Dark Magician Girl said. "But there's something you need to know about Apocalypse...It must NOT be allowed to absorb our essence" she said, as Rakaia nodded.

"You and your friends are the chosen few, we Duel Spirits are a key part in how you stop Apocalypse and the Six, If we get absorbed...Then you can kiss everyone and everything you love goodbye" Red Eyes said sternly as Rakaia gulped and nodded.

"The Ancient Six were just Like you kids today, young, powerful, and they each were on the same team, your ancestor Rakuya was the one who commanded my power, Jaden's Ancestor commanded that of Neos, Nephthys ancestor was a young, proud warrior who lost his way when the Dark Wielder corrupted him" Red Eyes stated.

"Wait Wait, Back up, who's this Dark Wielder guy?" Rakaia asked.

Red Eyes lifted it's head and looked at the Fire Spirit. "Should I tell him or would you like to explain?" he asked.

Nephthys rose up looked at the Dragon Duelist and the looked at Red Eyes. "Very well, I will tell him" he said, as Red Eyes nodded.

"You see, back then the Six threw both worlds into Chaos, The Light spirit dominated all who stood before it with it's powerful Lightning, Anyone who stood up to the user of the wind was blown away, All who opposed the Water Spirit suffered it's Icy wrath, the one who controlled fire burned it's way through anyone who stood against it, the second strongest of these spirits was the Earth spirit which made living souls into Jewels, Gems and Crystals" Nephtys said.

"And the Dark Wielder is the one they call Daemon, his evil energy was so strong it destroyed the souls of the weak and corrupted the strong...My holder back then was a strong young warrior who held unlimited potential, he engaged the Dark Wielder in combat with the losers soul as an offering, my holder began to win against the power of his darkness...But it wasn't long until he began to use the same dark power he stood against...It corrupted him, He began to change, he began to destroy anything that stood against him...Even...His own friends" explained the phoenix.

"Eventually his path of destruction was put to an end when they sealed the Evil that was controlling him, and Apocalypse along with it, but as The Six were reincarnated...so was the Evil Power" he said.

Rakaia gaped wide eyed at the phoenix. "Oh man...I never knew" he said shaking his head.

Nephthys nodded and continued. "I don't know if it's the Evil Energy affecting my user, but he needs to snap out of his depression or the world pays the price" Nephthys said harshly.

Rakaia nodded in agreement. "Yeah, there was something funny about his Aura when Rose was Dueling Adam" he said in agreement. "It was kind of...Dark" he said.

Harpies Pet Dragon paused for a moment and Vanished from the room, in a flash of yellow light along with Dakini. "What's happening?" Rakaia asked in surprise.

"They're being summoned" answered Dark Magician Girl. "I sense that their holders are about to win the Duel" she explained.

After a long pause both Duel Monster Spirits returned to the Chamber. "It's over" said Dakini as she landed next to Pet Dragon. "They've Won" she stated.

"Alright Rakaia, It's about time for you to wake up" Neos said. "Remember what we've told you, the others need to know about this" he said as the young Dragon Duelist nodded.

"I have one more thing to say" Nephthys spoke up. "Knock some sense into my holder, he needs to wake up and realize how important it is that we win these Duels" he said as Rakaia nodded again.

"Bye Rakaia" Dark Magician Girl and Dakini waved.

"Good Luck!" they all said, as white light began to envelop Rakaia.

-After The Flashback-

The Gang was wide eyed in surprise, especially Lucas. Everyone began staring at him as if he was on fire, he was in shock to hear that his monster knew about his secret.

"Anything on your mind Lucas?" Rakaia asked, crossing is his arms.

Lucas looked around and saw that The Gang's eyes were on him, waiting for him to answer Rakaia's Question.

"No...Nothing at all" he muttered.

"Lucas we're your friends we'll all help you in any way we can" Alexis said, as Jaden and Rose nodded.

"There's nothing for any of you to help me with!" Lucas said angrilly as he made a move toward the door but was blocked by Rakaia who grabbed his hand while it was placed on the doorknob.

"Let Go" Lucas said coldly, not even looking at the Dragon Duelist.

"No, I'm not letting you leave until you tell us what's up" he said firmly. "If you go out there alone you're putting your life on the line and I'm not gonna let that happen" he said.

"I'll say it one more time...Let Go" he said again. "None of you need to know what I'm dealing with, it's not like you would understand! he shouted.

Rakaia glared at him even harder. "WE'RE SUPPOSED TO BE YOUR FRIENDS!" he shouted over the Fire Duelist. "Your supposed to Tell us these things if you have a problem!" he said loudly.

There was a long pause until Rakaia finally let go of Lucas's hand. "Whatever, If you get killed or whatever it's your own fault" he said.

"Whatever" Lucas replied, as he opened the door and stormed off into the night.

Everyone looked asTears started streaming down Rose's face. Alexis embraced her and patted her head as Rakaia and Luna ran off after their friend.

Lucas ran off into the night not knowing where he was going until he had gotten far away from the Slifer Dorm, he stopped and clutched at his arm again. "Arrgghh, It's getting worse" he muttered. He pulled up his shirt sleeve and saw that the tattoos on his arm were moving towards each other. Lucas gritted his teeth the pain was unbearable. A Red aura began to surround him while the tattoos began to move away and scatter.

Rakaia and Luna who were running after their friend stopped and noticed the energy Lucas was giving off, it wasn't much but it was bright enough do illuminate the darkness around them.

"I'm...Going to get this...Under control..." Lucas grunted still clutching his arm, while the Aura was weakening. It dissapated and he fell to the ground on all fours.

Lucas began breathing heavily with his hand to his stomach. The pains were over but he'd used a lot of energy.

"LUUCCAASS!" Rakaia shouted as he began sprinting at the Fire Duelist. Luna wasn't far behind him but she wasn't running she, instead she was catching her breath, she couldn't keep up with the Dragon Duelist.

Rakaia had tackled Lucas onto the ground and grabbed him arms. "Do you know how Rose feels right now? She's worried sick about you!" he shouted as Lucas tried to struggle.

"You don't understand, I'm trying to help her!" the Fire Duelist replied, as he struggled against Rakaia's weight.

"How? By running off and giving everyone a panic attack?" he replied. "You've no Idea what I've been through, so don't say your abandoning your friends because you wanna save them yourself!" he shouted as Lucas broke free.

"What have you been through that's so bad?" Lucas asked.

"In case you didn't know this, Rakaia lost his parents because of his asshole older brother!" Luna shouted, making herself heard, tears were also streaming down her face. Lucas stood there wide eyed, this came as a shock.

"We fought that bastard a while back, and he doesn't even care what he did! Rakaia's had a lot to deal with before he even came to Duel Academy!" she shouted, as Rakaia embraced her and nodded.

"Lucas...Dude...We're all friends here, you don't have to hide anything from us...We've all got our own burdens" Rakaia said, still hugging the sobbing Harpie Duelist. "Let us help you" he finished.

Lucas lowered his gaze to the ground. "Wow...he's got it worse than me...At least I had Grandpa and my little brothers around...but this guy... he had nobody" he thought to himself.

After a long pause Lucas took a deep breath and sighed. "I'm sorry... I can't really tell you too much other than I've been hearing these voices lately and my Arm's been in pain since we left my grandpa's...I don't know what this pain is but I feel like I'll my mind to it...Like I'll lose myself to my darkest desires" he said.

Luna stopped sobbing as Rakaia let her go. "You don't have to deal with this alone, We'll help you if you just stick with us...And remember who you friends are" she said.

"C'mon Lucas...Just come back with us" Rakaia said. "Everybody just wants to help" he stated.

"I've got a way for you to help" said a voice from out of nowhere. Rakaia, Lucas, and Luna looked around to see who spoke.

"Who's there?" Luna asked. "Show yourself!" she commanded. Out of the ground rose Sarina and her Corpse Puppets. The three of them looked on in surprise as they saw what the puupets looked like.

"Jasmine...Mindy" Luna said in shock.

"Not Quite, you see these are puppets based on your friends...Minus the Souls" Sarina stated laughing slightly at her own joke.

"You're One of the Six" Lucas deduced, as she nodded.

"Clever boy, The name's Sarina" She said, smirking at the fire duelist. "You see these puppets behind me? You'll be dueling THEM" she finished, snapping her fingers. Puppet-Jasmine and Puppet-Mindy sprouted demonic looking Duel Disks from their arms.

"Luke...I'll handle these two, you and Luna go back and get the others" Rakaia commanded, activating his own Duel Disk.

"Alright, leave it us" Lucas stated. "C'mon Luna" he said, but Luna wouldn't move. She walked next to Rakaia and activated her own Duel Disk. "No Rakaia...WE'LL handle these two while Lucas gets the others" she said, grinning at her boyfriend, who returned it.

"Alright...Hurry Luke" he said, while Lucas nodded and began running off. Sarina stood there and watched as they began to Duel.

Meanwhile Back at the Slifer Red Dorm

Jaden, Rose, and Alexis were sitting down, discussing what Rakaia had told them. Rose had calmed down a bit after Lucas had left.

"Red Eyes is Dark, Neos is Light, and Nephthys is Fire...What could that mean?" Alexis asked, while Jaden leaned on his bed, thinking.

"I dunno...But now It's more Important to stop the Six than ever before the Sacred Beasts get involved" he said.

"What are the Sacred Beasts?" Rose asked.

Jaden gave a slight chuckle and sat up facing her. "They're really powerful monsters...I dueled the three of them a while back and believe me when I say.. The aren't something you should take Lightly" he answered.

"Me taking them Lightly...You're the one with a smile on his face" she teased, as she began to smile too.

"Hey I can't help it, that was a really fun Duel, not to mention tough" Jaden said, still chuckling.

Alexis was laughing a bit to herself "It's that kind of attitude you've got that keeps me going" she thought to herself smiling at the Hero Duelist.

The door bursted open scaring everybody who was inside. It was Lucas who was had news. "Guys You've gotta come quick...It's one of the Six" he said, while everyone headed out.

"Where's Rakaia?" Jaden asked as they all began running off.

"Yeah, what about Luna?" Alexis asked.

"They're both dueling" he answered. "It's not one of the Six but I have a feeling you'll be surprised when we get there" he finished, as they began sprinting.

"My turn and I draw!" Rakaia said, picking up his card.

"I play the Spell Card, Dragons Inferno!" he said, as the card activated on his side of the field.

Dragons Inferno
Spell Card
Type: Normal
Effect: If you control 2 or more Dragon type monsters with 2000 ATK or higher destroy all monsters on your opponents side of the field. The player who activated this card cannot use Spell Cards this turn.

Red Eyes and Harpies Pet Dragon reared their heads back and launched a powerful blast of energy thay destroyed their opponents monsters.

"Now It's over go Pet Dragon, Attack!" he commanded.

The Dragon took a claw swipe at Mindy and reduced their Life Points to 900.

"Now Finish this Red Eyes, Inferno Fire Blast!" he commanded, as his dragon launched it's signature move at Jasmine, ending the Duel.

The puppets became dust and vanished into the wind. Rakaia and Luna turned their attention on Sarina who smirked.

"Now tell us why you Really came out here!" he demanded.

Jaden and the others had finally caught up to Rakaia and Luna. "Rakaia, what happened I thought you guys were in a Destiny Duel?" Jaden asked.

"Weren't those other two Jasmine and Mindy?" Alexis asked Luna in shock. "We saw some of the Duel before we caught up to you guys" she explained.

"No It wasn't them..They were Puppets created by the Six" Luna replied sadly.

"Pretty good puppets, don't you think?" Sarina asked sarcastically, earning a glare from everyone else. "You see I'm only interested in strong duelists, and I had my puppets lure you bunch out here" she stated.

"And It worked" Jaden said coldly, gritting his teeth.

"For those of you who don't know the name's Sarina, and There's only one guy here I want to Duel and that person...Is YOU" she said pointing Jaden.

"Alright, whenever you're ready" Jaden said coldly, activating his own Duel Disk. Sarina chuckled at this.

"No no no, not here, meet me at the volcano you defeated Nightshroud at in an hour" she said, as she melded into the ground becoming a shadow again.

"C'mon we'd better get back to the Slifer Dorm, we don't wanna run into anymore of these guys" Lucas said, as everyone nodded.

"Uh, you guys go on ahead I wanna talk to Rose" Lucas said.

"Ok, but hurry up It's not safe out here" Alexis replied, as Rose and Lucas took a walk at their own pace.

Lucas took a deep breath and sighed, It was hard looking at a girl he liked that wouldn't talk to him.

"I'm sorry Rose...I shouldn't have stormed out and shouted the way I did...See I keep having these dark urges ever since we left my house...And I've been hearing weird voices" he sighed. She folded her arms slightly changing her frown into a look of concern.

"I'm afraid of what I'll become if I give into these urges or listen to those voices" he said. "I lashed out at everybody else in fear, not anger and I'm sorry Rose" he finished.

"Then why not tell us? , Why hide it?" she asked, as he lowered his head a bit.

"Because I didn't want to worry anyone...Dealing with these Elemental Six bastards is hard enough..I just didn't want to be a burden" he answered.

"You think running out on us wasn't being a burden?" she asked in an irritated voice.

Lucas slightly smiled a bit and Looked into her green eyes. "I admit that was stupid, but it won't happen again...I swear I'll find a way to beat this" he stated.

Rose smiled slightly, she knew couldn't stay mad at him. She stopped and embraced him. "You wanna know what made me Like you?" she whispered with a smile, as he put his arm around her.

"It was how cool and how smart you were...you get good grades, you beat Chazz with little effort, and I can tell you've been through a lot by looking at your eyes" she finished.

Before he knew It, Lucas was being pulled forward by Rose and broke in to a kiss, As their lips touched an explosion of total peace and serenity overwhelmed them both. Unknown to them Rakaia was watching the entire time as Luna was pulling him forward to make him keep up.

"Well done Luke...Well done" he grinned silently, as Luna tugged on his arm for him to keep up.

Lucas and Rose broke apart and caught up with the rest of the gang who had made their way to the Slifer Dorm after 8 minutes of walking.

At the Slifer Red Dorm

While the Gang was inside the Slifer Dorm they took turns looking through each others decks and Practice Dueling. Jaden and Rakaia had beaten each other twice, while Lucas was practicing against Luna.

"And I'll have Horus attack you directly..Yes I won!" Lucas shouted, happily. Luna's eyes turned into anime-style flames and she grunted loud enough for everyone to hear, "Rematch!". Rakaia laughed as her saw his girlfriend crack her knuckles at the fire duelist. Alexis and Rose ouldn't help but giggle, but Jaden had other things on his mind.

He got up and checked the time on his Duel Disk. "It's almost midnight...We'd better get going" he stated. Rakaia nodded as he and the Gang stood up and all walked out of the Slifer Dorm with Jaden in the Lead.

Outside

As they walked to where Sarina was waiting Alexis caught up with Jaden and grabbed his arm. "Just Remember no matter what happens...I Love you" she said as she leaned on his shoulder. "I Love you too Lex, which is why I'm not gonna lose" he replied as he put his arm around her. Rakaia and Luna were having a talk of their own.

"By the way Luna, thanks for correcting that Zack guy about my name" he said, smiling at the harpie duelist. Luna looked at him in surprise.

"You're welcome...But how did you know about that? You were unconsious" she said, returning his smile. Rakaia chuckled and put his arm around her. "Well...while I was unconsious I could kinda hear everything you guys were talking about" he replied.

"So Alexis knows about our little secret kiss?" he asked nervously.

Luna gulped and nodded. "Yeah...I couldn't help but tell her" she said.

Rakaia grinned and looked ahead. "I see Jay's got a little secret of his own" he said, as he looked at Jaden with his arm around Alexis who was smiling.

"Awww... Hey Alexis, I see you and your Fiance are having a good time!" she yelled as Alexis turned and blushed.

"Yeah we are!" she yelled back as Jaden looked at her confused. "What's that word mean again Alexis?" he asked, making her giggle.

Lucas and Rose who were behind the four of them were holding hands and laughing to the conversations up ahead.

"Hey Jaden! How much more walking?" Lucas shouted.

"We're here Lucas!" Jaden shouted as everyone behind him and Alexis ran and caught up with them. "SARINAA!, WHERE ARE YOU!" Rakaia shouted.

A shadow appeared in front of them, It was Sarina. "Glad you didn't chicken out...I was getting bored waiting for you fools to show up" she said coldly.

She extended her palm at the group and it began to glow red. A circle of Flames appeared around everyone Except Jaden.

"This outta be fun" she stated as Jaden looked at his friends in surprise. "Let them out" he commanded.

Sarina giggled and stepped back far away from Jaden. "Sorry, but the Duel's more fun this way" she sneered, as she activated her Duel Disk. Jaden activated his own and glared at her "I'll make you sorry you even did that" Jaden said coldly, as he activated his own Duel Disk.

"Let's Duel!" the both shouted as a Life Point counter appeared on their disks.

"I hope Jaden knows what he's doing" Rakaia stated as he began sweating.

"And I'll activate his special abillity and add my Sparkman to my hand" he said, as he showed her the card. "And I'll end It by throwing down a Facedown" he said.

"My turn and I draw" she said, as she picked up her card. She smiled evilly and began laughing. "I've just drawn the card that end this duel and your life" she said. "Now I play my Demonic Flame Seal!" she shouted as she activated the card. A bright orange Flame Pattern appeared on the field In the shape of the Fire Attribute Symbol.

"Careful Jaden, those Demonic Seals give them a huge advantage!" Luna shouted, causing Sarina to drop her smile and glare at her. Her eyes flashed orange and Luna's flames began to grow closer to her.

"Shut up and watch, stupid girl this is between me and him!" she said angrilly.

"Wait a minute, I'm the one who beat Adam why didn't HE have a Demonic Seal card?" Rose asked.

Sarina looked at Rose as if she was stupid. "Because that fool had Light monsters in his pathetic deck...What kind of Demonic Seal would we give him?" she answered.

"And I'll use his effect on your Hellfire Horse!" he commanded as he discarded a card. Thunder Giant raised a finger as a bolt of lightning struck it, it pointed it's finger at the horse and zapped it, destroying it instantly.

"Then I play E-Emergency Call!" he said.

"Now I'll have Thunder Giant attack your Emperor Dragon!" he commanded. Elemental Hero Thunder Gaint charged forward in a Lightning-Like aura and tackled Cthtonian Emperor Dragon, causing it to explode. The attack shaved 200 Life points from Sarina.

"I end my turn with that" Jaden said.

"Wow, I don't think Jay's playing around" Rakaia stated as the others nodded. "Let's Just hope he doesn't have to use the Card I gave him" he finished.

"You gave Jaden a card?" asked Alexis, but Sarina Intergected. "I said Quiet!" she shouted as The flames around Alexis and Rakaia got closer to them.

"I hope Jaden beats her before we all Die of sweat exhaustion" Luna joked.

Luckilly Sarina didn't hear this, she smirked and drew a card from her Deck. "Tell me Hero Duelist...Why do you fight for this pathetic school?" she asked.

Jaden looked at her coldly as she smirked. "Because this place is an Important part of our lives...We've had a lot of memories here" he said.

"I don't understand.. If you joined US you could have power beyond your wildest dreams, but instead you and your foolish friends continue to fight against us" she responded.

"It's because we don't NEED your power" Jaden responded. "Now make your move" he finished.

"If you say so, I summon my Pyro Blader!" she said.

"I'll equip my Blader to my Inpachi and raise it's attack power" she said. The little swordsman glowed and shot itself into the wooden spirit, making It glow in the process.

"And Let's not forget my Demonic Seal's other effect, my monster gains 800 Attack Points, so go Inpachi and Attack his Thunder Giant!" she commanded.

Blazing Inpachi took raised it's right arm and delivered a punch to the face of Jaden's Thunder Giant causing it to explode, making him lose 750 Life Points.

"Now I draw due to my Blader's effect, and before I end my turn I flip over my Facedown Spreading Fire!" she said, as the card revealed Itself.

"This Trap makes you lose Life Points equal to Half your monsters Attack Points" she explained.

Very small fireballs appeared and launched themselves at Jaden causing him to grunt in pain after losing 1200 Life Points.

"I...I actually felt that" he said, holding his shoulder where the fireballs had landed.

"Jaden!" shouted the gang.

"Hang In there Jay, It's not over yet!" Rakaia shouted.

"Hmph It might as well be...when I win Apocalypse will be one step Closer to regaining it's power and crushing you all" she stated.

"Not...gonna happen" Jaden grunted. "It's my move!" he said as he drew.

"I've gotta do something about that seal before she ends this Duel"

Jaden thought. "I'll start off by summoning my Elemental Hero Bladege!" he shouted as his monster appeared in front of him.

"How could you summon a monster at that Level without tributing?" Sarina asked in shock.

"Because when my Necroshade's the Graveyard I get to summon an Elemental Hero monster without a sacrifice" he explained.

"But when Did you-?" Sarina began. "Of course...He must have discarded it when he activated his Thunder Giant's Effect" she thought, flashing back to when Thunder Giant destroyed her Hellfire Horse.

"Then I play my Pot Of Greed" Jaden said.

Jaden picked up his five cards and his grin grew bigger. "Now I'll have my Bladedge attack your Inpachi!" he commanded.

Bladedge dashed forward with the blades on it's arms growing longer and slashed Inpachi into pieces causing Sarina to take 450 Points of Damage.

"And now I'll have Stratos attack you directly!" he commanded. Stratos fired a stream of wind from the fan-like objects on It's wrists, causing Sarina to take 1800 points of damage.

"I knew Dueling you would be fun...You've got the Fiery spirit I've been looking for" she said, grinning.

"Thanks, I'll throw down 2 facedowns and call it a turn" Jaden replied grinning back.

Sarina drew her card, looked at it and began to chuckle. "Nobody's been able to clear my field for some time, you're quite the Duelist" she said. "But It's too bad that has to end... I play my Demonic Hellfire Seal!" she shouted.

The ground began shaking as she placed the card down. The Volcano began letting out small bursts of Lava due to the ground tremors.

"Whoa! Everybody hold on!" Lucas shouted as they began to tremble in the middle of the flames that were restraining them.

"Wait a minute, I thought you guys only had ONE Demon Seal?" Alexis questioned. Sarina laughed loudly as Alexis and the others looked on in surprise. "Silly Girl, only the weakest members of the Six have ONE...MY Seal has three stages, Just think of them as transformations!" she explained.

"Hehe, Now I summon Chiros the Fire Demon!" she shouted as she placed the card down. For a moment nothing appeared until the shaking stopped. The Volcano had settled down a bit. Out of the Lava rose a horrific dragon-like-god monster. (Picture Ifrit from Final Fantasy X with a snake-like lower body)

It Roared at Jaden who had to shield his face with his arms to avoid being blown away.

"And Since you Destroyed four of my Monsters that totals up to 2000 extra Attack points!" she shouted, as her beast's eyes began to glow red and it roared.

"Oh No" Jaden said.

"Oh yes and Let's not forget my original Seal's effect" she said, smirking.

"That's 6300 Attack Points!" Rakaia said in surprise.

Sarina smirked at him. "Yes, I see you can count" she said. "This Duel's as good as over!" she claimed, laughing as Jaden fell to his knees in shock.


At Daemon's Lair

"Hehehe...Exellent my child...Soon we will have the soul of a hero" Daemon smirked. He was watching the Duel through one of his portals.

Diablo stood at his side doing the same. "This is excellent Soon Apocalypse will be ressurected My Lord" he said.

Daemon nodded. "Yes...Maybe you won't have to get your hands dirty...Maybe she'll finish off that target of yours" He chuckled.

"Please Master...Rakaia is MINE...Allow me to capture his soul" he said, bowing to Daemon.

Daemon paused to think about this. "Hmm the soul of the Dragon is indeed rare...he and his brother Crayus were known for it" he said, rubbing his chin.

"After this Duel is finshed You will go and provide me with the Soul of the Dragon...Along with the others I expect" Daemon said, coldly.

Diablo rose to his feet. "It will be done My Lord" he said, as he continued watching the Duel through the portal. "Besides paying a visit to the Little Brother of my best friend, there's some business we need to finish" he said, with an evil smile.
