Chapter 13: The Legend of the Crimson Dragon

(Within the Slifer Red dorm; on the evening of Nabiki's rescue from the Society of Light)

Within Chazz's resigned room in the Slifer Red dorm, we find our heroines and heroines, including Nabiki Tendo, who was now wearing a female Obelisk Blue uniform, instead of her female SOL member uniform, assembled in the living room of the dorm as Nabiki in her usual expression with her arms and legs crossed, sits down as she gets down what being happening since she was brainwashed as well as Ranma, Hotaru, and Nodoka's Kekkai Genkai and Juraian heritage, as well as Ukyo's Byakugan and other information that she needs to know.

Nabiki says, with her usual sly smile, "I've always thought that Ranma and Hotaru were a little strange, but to my surprise, it's not their curses."

Yusuke says, perplexed, "Curses?"

Ranma says, in a snort, "Well, thanks to Pop, I ended up getting cursed from the Jusenkyo springs!"

Most of our heroes and heroines gasp in shock of this and Kai says, in a rare surprised tone, "The Jusenkyo Springs!"

Lee 2 yells out, seriously, "I thought that it's nothing more than a legend!"

Koga asks, curiously, "I take it that you've heard about it?"

Kurama says, in a serious tone, "The Jusenkyo is a training ground of cursed springs. Jusenkyo is located in a secret area in the Bayankala mountain range, south of Mount Kensei, in Quighai Province, China."

Mariah says, seriously, "Many sad stories have happened in Jusenkyo mainly that people and animals have drowned in the various pools hundreds or thousands of years ago. Legend has it that when something is immersed in one of these pools, the pool becomes cursed, and anyone falling into that pool will become whatever first fell in or drowned there, although, unless specified, they retain their mind, personality and skills. The cure is to be splashed with hot water. Then the victim would remain in his or her natural form until again encountering cold water."

Ray says, in a serious tone, "There were times that Tao would take us there as a training exercise."

Hotaru says, in a plain tone, "Let me guess, you guys were cursed too."

Kevin says, with a sly smile, "Nope, we train near the springs in by them not too close since he told us not to."

Kagome says, in a plain tone, "Thanks to the Jusenkyo springs and when cold water hits them, Ranma turns into a girl, Hotaru changes to a hawk, and Mousse changes to a duck."

Chazz says, in his usual snobbish tone, "You're pulling our legs!"

Hotaru says, with a sly smile, "Just get a bunch of kettles of hot water and bunch of buckets of cold water and you'll see why."

Just then, Botan's voice calls out, "All ready set!" Everyone turns to see Botan carrying two buckets of cold water, while Genkai is carrying another bucket of cold water and kettle of hot water and Kakashi is carrying two kettles of hot water.

Ranma, Hotaru, and Mousse got up from their seats, take a bucket, pours them on themselves as their bodies changed.

Hotaru's cursed form is a brown feathered hawk, Ranma's cursed form has the same appearance as Hotaru's normal or human form with a voluptuous feminine figure similar to Hotaru's, except that Ranma's hair is now red, and Mousse's cursed form is a white duck.

Jaden says, amazed, "No way!"

Chazz yells out, shocked, "You're a chick!"

Nodoka says, with a nod, "I met with Ranma with the Tendos, in his girl form, as Ranko, Akane Tendo's cousin."

Jaden asks, curiously, "Why?"

Ranma…or Ranko says, in a feminine soprano voice version of Ranma's voice, "Well, Hotaru and I were only babies at the time when we left home for our training trip."

Nodoka says, with a sigh, "And my husband talked me into him taking Ranma into a training journey to make him a 'man among men' and if he were to fail, then he and Ranma would commit seppuku."

There were many gasps in shock and horror and Keiko yells out, shocked, "Seppuku!"

Hikari says, in a serious tone, "That's going a little bit overboard, don't you think!?"

Tyson asks, curiously, "What's Seppuku?"

Kurama replies, in a serious and logical tone, "Seppuku is a form of Japanese ritual suicide by disembowelment. Seppuku was originally reserved only for samurai. Part of the samurai honor code, seppuku was used voluntarily by samurai to die with honor rather than fall into the hands of their enemies, as a form of capital punishment for samurai who have committed serious offenses, and for reasons that shamed them. Seppuku is performed by plunging a sword into the abdomen and moving the sword left to right in a slicing motion and decapitation."

Ranko says, in a serious tone, "That was a reason for me, Hotaru, and pop hid our true forms from my mother, because we had to go through seppuku if she ever found out about our curses."

Nodoka says, in a serious tone, "However, Hotaru comes in and places her handprint on the contract made for Genma and Ranma, telling me that she wants to join Ranma and her father. I was surprised to realize on how brave Ranma and Hotaru were at the time, so I, a wife of a martial art, had to agree to their agreement." Just then, Ranko's body was surrounded by a dark violet wind and Kuwabara yells out, shocked, "What's happening!?"

Uryu says, stunned, "I don't know!" Soon after, Ranko's red hair turns pitch black with dark violet highlights on them, she gains black gemstones attached to her ears as earrings and her lips become dark violet in color.

Naruto yells out, stunned, "Whoa! What the?!"

Ino calls out, shocked, "How did that happen?!"

Kurama says, in a plain tone, "I think I know why! When Ranma's curse triggered, the 'dark power' that most of you possessed, changed his curse appearance's look."

Ranko says, in a dark plain tone, "I guess that would explain it and Mousse's and Hotaru's cursed forms are still the same since, it may work when they're human."

Nabiki says, in a plain tone, "Now, you have a dark look for both your male and female side."

Naruto says, in a sneer, "Speaking of training trips, Ranma and Hotaru told us everything that asshole of a father did to them in that journey trip."

Yusuke asks, curiously, "What did he do?"

Kagome replies, with a sigh, "Well, only the Leaf Village ninjas as well as the Hokage, Inuyasha, Melody, and I knew about this as well as the Tendos. Akane's family wasn't the only people that my Uncle Genma some agreements on marrying Ranma off, there were several other potential fiancées out there for Ranma and fiancés did the same for Hotaru!"

Keiko yells out, angrily, "Say what!?"

Inuyasha says, with an annoyed snort, "No joke! Kagome's uncle kept thinking about his stomach so much that he stooped so low to sell his own children for a bowl of rice, pieces of fish, and a couple of pickles."

Hilary says, annoyed, "You're kidding!"

Tenten says, with an annoyed snort, "Kagome and Inuyasha are right, Hilary, Ranma and Hotaru told as the whole thing and Ukyo was one of those who were fooled by Ranma and Hotaru's father."

Ukyo says, in an angered tone, "He didn't tell Ranma or Hotaru anything about me being a girl and stole my family's cart as an engagement gift."

Yusuke says, in a snarl, "That creep!"

Ranko pours hot water on Hotaru and Mousse as they revert into their human form while clothed and Ranko pours hot water on herself as she turns back to Ranma without the earrings and dark violet lips.

Hotaru says, in a plain tone, "Everything that Kagome and Inuyasha say are true, The old man did those things just to feed his overgrown belly. He's go as far as to steal food from our plates while making us starve ourselves and calling it training. He even made me cook for me, Ranma, and him since he declared that it's the 'woman's job' to do the cooking as well as the rest of the kitchen duties."

Tiara yells out, annoyed, "He said what!?"

Keiko says, in an annoyed tone, "That's a load of bull! My father, along with my mother, owns a ramen diner and they both do the cooking. They even taught me how to cook!"

Hotaru says, annoyed, "That's not all! The many rich fiancés that the old man had arranged for me and all of them were perverted jerks! Pop just wanted people to mooch out of while using my brother and I! Not to mention that when I was thirteen, he knocked me out and taken me to a Japanese Amazon tribe, where I stayed for three years."

Hilary says, annoyed, "That jerk!"

Kira says, in a plain tone, "I know how you feel, girlfriend."

Hikari says, plainly, "Yeah, being separated from your sibling for that long."

Ranma says, in a serious tone, "I was real upset that Pop told me that Hotaru was attacked by a pack of wolves and killed at the spot. Until three years later and after a week that Ukyo came to Nermia, Hotaru came back in my life! I was real surprised and I revealed mine and Pops curse."

Hotaru says, in an annoyed snort, "And I've got mine when some idiot grabbed onto me while I was climbing on the mountain by Jusenkyo since I've gotten word that Pops and Ranma may be there and we ended up falling with me falling into the Spring of Drowned Hawk." Hotaru pulls out her Power Pole and she says, plainly, "This is my Power Pole and it's something that I got from the Japanese Amazon Elders on my sixteenth birthday. It's a useful weapon for combat and for punishable matters, while learning a few new tricks there to keep Pop in his place. They were real good to me and taught me everything that they know while being the top fighter from their village."

Ranma says, with a sly smile, "And it's very useful at times! She has her Strong Palm, which is similar to Guy-sensei and Lee's Strong Fist and Hotaru has a super-strength technique similar to Grandma Tsunade's."

Nodoka says, with a sigh, "Son, I wish you and Naruto wouldn't address Tsunade-sensei in such a matter."

Ranma tells his mother, with a wide smile, "Relax, mom! Grandma Tsunade doesn't mind that when we call her that."

Nabiki asks, curiously, "What happened with Konatsu?"

Ukyo says, with a smile, "He's still at the Leaf Village watching the restaurant that I've open within the Leaf Village."

Ranma says, with a sly smile, "Yeah, Choji couldn't get enough of Ukyo's okonomiyaki."

Nabiki looks at Ukyo's 'new' outfit and she says, with a sly grin, "I never thought that I see the day that you start wearing feminine clothes, Ukyo."

Ukyo says, with a sly smile, "Well, after a few months in the Leaf Village, I've half of my feminine that I've lost thanks to Genma's actions."

Nabiki looks at Ranma and she says, plainly, "I see that you're doing quite well with the Leaf Village, Ranma."

Ranma says, with a smile, "It happens to be the best thing that has ever happen to me."

Nabiki asks, while narrowing her eyes, "So, I take it that you're never coming back to Nerima."

Ranma gives a frown with an icy cold glaze and he says, in an icy and monotone voice, "Let's just say that I'm never going back to that god forbid place ever again."

Nabiki, uncharacteristically, winches at Ranma's icy voice and Kagome says, quickly changing the subjected, "Anyways, Ranma, what's with that mark on your arm?"

Nabiki says, plainly, "Yeah, I've been wondering that myself! I know that you're not a tattoo person."

Ranma displays his dragon mark and he says, in a serious tone while picking up the silver suitcase, "This is my dragon birthmark? I guess that I should explain what happen. You see, after Hotaru, Mousse, and I saved Maxamillion Pegasus from those thugs, I went to pick up this suitcase and my arm started to itch like crazy, then glowed while forming this mark."

Nabiki says, with disbelief, "You met with Maxamillion Pegasus, the creator of Duel Monsters."

Mousse says, with a smile, "Yeah! He told us about those cards that Ranma has in that suitcase."

Koenma says, in a serious tone, "Pegasus then gave the suitcase to Ranma has soon as he sees his 'Mark of the Dragon' birthmark."

Yusuke asks, surprised, "Mark of the Dragon?"

Koenma says, with a nod, "Yes. The 'Mark of the Dragon'. It is a mark of one chosen to be a protector of Earth and humanity. You see, in the Americas, millennia ago, there was a powerful Native American civilization known as the 'People of the Stars' and they were an advanced race which worshipped an ancient and powerful red star known as the 'Dragon Star'. However, evil demons soon terrorized that land and the ruler of the 'People of the Stars', the Star Dragon King, begged from help from the Dragon Star. The 'Dragon Star', a living entity, which cared for the people of this planet answered the Star Dragon King's plea for help. It became a powerful entity known as the Crimson Dragon and with five servants, known as the Five Dragons, they crushed the evil demons and sealed them in a place known as Nazca Lines."

Keiko, Hilary, Kai, Mina, Kino, Washu, Uryu, Rukia, Lena, and Kenny yell out in unison, stunned, "The Nazca Lines?!"

Nabiki says, amazed, "I read a lot about that place!"

Kurama says, plainly, "Well, you don't know the whole story. Those lines are the seals of the evil demons that the Crimson Dragon fought. After the battle, the Crimson Dragon went to rest, but in order to keep its power safe and to be called upon when needed to aid humanity again, its power was divided into five pieces, the head, the claws, the wings, and the tail, and sealed into five people known as 'Signers'. These marks were known as 'Marks of the Dragon'."

Kagome asks, stunned, "Wait! You mean Ranma's 'mark' is…"

Koenma says, with a nod, "Yes, it is a 'Mark of the Dragon'. That's the wings of the Crimson Dragon and Ranma is a 'Signer'. And further proof is his Red Dragon Archfiend. It is one of the Five 'Signer Dragons', the warrior dragons of the Crimson Dragon, that only the 'Signers' can summon."

Many gasps come from the group and Sota asks, stunned, "Ranma's dragon is some kind of ancient dragon that fought a battle against evil millennia ago?!"

Kurama says, with a nod, "Yes. And I knew when I saw that mark, Ranma is a 'Signer'." Kurama asks Ukyo, Mousse, Hotaru, and Nodoka, with a curious tone, "But you knew that already, didn't you?"

Mousse says, with a nod, "Yes, we wanted to keep it a secret since we don't want Sartorius to know anything about it."

Koenma says, with a plain tone, "A 'Signer' is another form of 'Chosen Duelist' and just as powerful. Like with 'Chosen Duelists', the only way to beat a 'Signer' is with another 'Signer', a duelist that can rival their powers, and sometimes, a person closer to the heart of the 'Signer' through there are few that can rivals 'Signers'. And since Ranma is a 'Chosen Duelist' and a 'Signer', he is actually one of the strongest of the 'Chosen Duelists' around."

Another set of gasps come from the group and Ray says, stunned, "Incredible!"

Kurama says, with a plain tone, "Which means that Sartorius will be more determined to get the 'Chosen Duelist' especially Ranma Saotome since most likely, Ranma's power far exceeds the 'Chosen Duelists' around here which means that Sartorius will do anything to get Ranma under his control."

Hiei says, with a plain tone, "However, if Ranma Saotome is a 'Signer', it means that the other four 'Signers' are here at Duel Academy."

Yeshua says, with a nod, "That's right. They are here. We believe that they are among the 'Chosen Duelists' here."

Hotaru says, in a dark serious tone, "We knew that freak, Sartorius, would cause the seal on the Nazca Lines to weaken and the need for the 'Signers' to return. Pegasus knew about these legends and revived the Five Dragons as new Duel Monster cards like the one that Ranma holds. The Red Dragon Archfiend is one of the 'Five Dragons', the warrior dragons of the Crimson Dragon."

Ranma says, with a nod, "Pegasus must have known knew when he saw my 'Mark of the Dragon' what he was. At that time, my powers as a 'Signer' were starting to awaken."

Ukyo says, with a nod, "However, since the 'Mark of the Dragon' has completely formed on Ranma's arm, his powers as a 'Signer' have been fully awakened and now, he is stronger than ever before."

Hiei says, with a plain tone, "Especially what's to come."

Kuwabara asks, curiously, "What do you mean short-stuff?"

Hiei tells the others, "Since the 'Signers' have returned after millennia, it is obvious to assume their enemies have awakened."

Tyson asks, stunned, "Wait! You mean those evil demons in America?!"

Kurama says, with a nod, "Yes. Remember what Koenma said about duelists that equal the 'Signers'. Well, there is obvious one group that can do that: The enemy of the 'Signers', the 'Dark Signers', the warriors of the demons of Nazca."

Ranma asks, perplexed, "Dark Signers? We weren't told about this!"

Koenma says, plainly, "The 'Dark Signers' are the warriors welding the sinister darkness of the evil demons of the Nazca Lines. They are the archenemies of the 'Signers' and their counterparts, just as powerful. If the 'Signers' have awoken, the 'Dark Signers' aren't too far behind. When all five 'Signers' have awoken, maybe even before, we can expect to find the 'Dark Signers' here sooner or later and they will come right after Ranma. They will sense him power as a 'Signer' and they will duel him in a 'Shadow Duel'."

Syrus says, worriedly, "Oh no! They will try to banish Ranma to the 'Shadow Realm'?'

Koenma says, shaking his head, "No. It is much worse, Syrus. The 'Dark Signers' have a different form of 'Shadow Dueling'. When you duel them in a 'Shadow Duel', the damage becomes very much real like in a 'Shadow Games' that you saw, but unlike the 'Shadow Games' that you know, when you duel a 'Dark Signer' in their 'Shadow Duels', it is a duel of life or death."

Many of our heroes and heroines gasp in shock and Nodoka yells out, shocked, "What?! You mean that they will try to kill my son?!"

Kurama says, with a nod, "Yes. In the war of the 'Signers' versus the 'Dark Signers' only one side can survive. If Ranma loses to the 'Dark Signers' the results would be pretty much the same if the Society of Light defeats us. Only the 'Signers' can stop the 'Dark Signers', other 'Chosen duelists' that aren't 'Signers' will most likely not be able to stop them."

Yusuke says, drolly, "Great. No pressure."

Yeshua says, with a plain tone, "Well, we still have time. With Ranma Saotome, there is only one 'Signer' and that means that the 'Dark Signers' won't come until probably at least four at the most. The strength of the Crimson Dragon's 'birthmarks' isn't strong enough for them to sense right now since Ranma is the only fully active 'Signer'."

Nabiki says, in her usual tone, "Gee Ranma, trouble sure comes to you wherever you go, doesn't it. Just like the old days."

Hotaru says, seriously, "Watch it, Nabiki!"

Kagome says, worriedly, "Stop it, you two! This isn't the time for fighting each other!"

Tyson asks, curiously, "By the way, can we see those other four dragons?"

Ranma says, shaking his head, "Sorry, but we can't! Until we find the other four 'Signers', those dragons are going to stay with us for safe keeping. Those dragons belong to the other four 'Signers'. Those are Pegasus's orders."

Hotaru says, glaring at Nabiki, "Plus, some of us would try to sell these to other people."

Nabiki says, narrowing her eyes, "What does that mean?"

Kagome gets in between Hotaru and Nabiki and she says, pleadingly, "Girls, please!"

Naruto asks, curiously, "And how will we know if a person is a 'Signer'?"

Nodoka tells them, "The Mark of the Dragon! Remember, the Crimson Dragon, after the evils of Nazca were defeated, had its power divided into five parts, namely the head, the two claws, front and rear, the wings, and the tail, and they were sealed into the five 'Signers'. Ranma has the wings of the Crimson Dragon as his 'Dragon Birthmark'. It reacts too many things including a 'Dark Signer' and its 'dark mark', which represents one of the evils of the Nazca Lines, or when a 'Signer' uses his or her dragon."

Mousse says, with a serious tone, "When Ranma played his Red Dragon Archfiend, his right arm started to throb."

Ranma says, in a plain tone, "My 'Mark of the Dragon' was reacting to my 'Signer Dragon'. However, when another 'Signer' is nearby and I play my dragon, their marks will react as well."

Yusuke says, with a smile, "Aha! So, if you play your dragon and someone's arms glows with a red dragon mark, we have a 'Signer'!"

Ukyo says, with a smile, "It might be more complicated than that, but you do have a point, Yusuke."

Hotaru says, with a plain tone, "However, until they are revealed and their powers fully awakened like Ranma, we can't say anything or reveal the other four dragons to you. They belong to them. Revealing them too earlier might put the other four 'Signers' in mortal danger since they need their powers to be revealed to be strong enough to be safe."

Kurama says, with a nod, "Understandable."

Jade says, seriously, "We need to get our 'rich contacts' and start to get to work. Remember, those dweebs would try to buy off Duel Academy and we'll be in big trouble."

Nabiki says, seriously, "Yeah, you said that you told us that the Society of Light is plotting to take over Duel Academy."

Yusuke says, in a dark serious tone, "That's right and if we don't act fast, then we're doomed!"

Uryu asks, curiously, "Good point, Yusuke. But what about Aster Phoenix?"

Naruto yells out, stunned, "What?! But that guy doesn't want anything to do with us and he is off on his own agenda!"

Hikari says, with a sigh, "No joke! Aster doesn't want to do anything with us, which I think he should be helping since it is a bit of his fault for what happened."

Yusuke says, with a sly smile, "He doesn't have to fight with us, sis. All we need is his money and connections since he is a top level pro-duelist before he came here to Duel Academy."

Nabiki asks Yusuke, "How are you going to convince him?"

Yusuke replies, with a sly grin, "By giving him an offer that he can't refuse." The rest of our heroes and heroines wondered what Yusuke meant about that.

(In Duel Academy's harbor; in the late afternoon hours)

In the late afternoon hours, we find Aster Phoenix sitting on his yacht as he looks towards the sky and then he hears people coming up the gangplank. He turns to see Yusuke Urameshi, Ichigo Kurosaki, and Hotaru Saotome heading up to the deck to meet him.

Aster asks, perplexed at Yusuke's new appearance, "Yusuke Urameshi, is that you?"

Yusuke replies, with his sarcastic tone, "Who were you expecting, King of England?"

Aster tells Yusuke, with a sly smile, "It can't only be you. And who are the kids?"

Hotaru yells out, annoyed, "Who are you calling kid, wiseass?! The name is Hotaru Saotome!"

Yusuke says, in a plain tone, "Hotaru is Kagome's cousin and Ichigo Kurosaki is one of Jaden's childhood friends."

Aster asks, with a sly tone, "So, what's someone like you want with me?"

Yusuke tells Aster, in a plain and serious tone, "Aster, we know that you have money and connections as a pro-duelist and right now, we may need it."

Ichigo tells Aster, "My friends and I have started an organization rivaling the Society of Light in order to take those dweebs down, once and for all! However, we heard that the Society of Light going to start planning on taking control of Duel Academy through its stocks and interests, but in order to get it going right away, we need immediately lots of money and connections."

Aster says, with a sly smile, "And that's where I come in. Sorry, guys, good luck with your plan to get back your friends, but keep me out."

Yusuke tells Aster, with a sly smile, "What if we offer you a top membership in the organization and our organization will aid you to help you find your father's card and the one that took your dad away from you?" Aster gives Yusuke a curious eye and Yusuke tells Aster, with a sly grin, "Think about it, Aster. You don't have to work with us, but with top members in our organization, you can have access to any and all information that we gather and with people like Hikari, Kira, and I, the cousins of the King of Games in our organization as well as access to the BBA teams, and right now, I know that you heard that Hikari and I have gained leadership of Duel Academy."

Aster asks Yusuke, with a sly tone, "Yeah, right, Yusuke."

Yusuke tells Aster, with a sly grin, "Okay, fine, then. If we get some hot information on the person that took your dad away from you, we'll keep it to ourselves." Yusuke turns away and Aster gives a serious look.

Aster calls out, seriously, "Hold it!"

Yusuke turns around to face him and states, with a mock innocent tone, "Yes?"

Aster tells Yusuke, with a sly grin, "All right, you've got my money and support, but don't think that I'm working with you."

Yusuke replies, with a sly smile, "Wouldn't have it any other way?"

Aster asks, curiously, "By the way, what are you calling your new organization?"

Yusuke says, with a sly grin, "The Shadow Council." Yusuke and Aster then shake their hands and sealing the 'deal' with Aster.

(At the beach; Sometime later)

Right now, we find ourselves at the beach on Academy Island as rowboat containing a male figure landing on the beach. The figure leaps out of the boat and we get a closer look at him.

The male appears to be at the age of 17 with brown eyes, black hair with a leopard skinned bandana around his forehead, wearing beige long sleeved tunic shirt as well as dark green martial art pants and black shoes. The male was wearing a backpack on his back with a red umbrella on top and with the young man's mouth appears to be animal like fangs. Attached to the young man's left wrist was an Academy Style duel disk.

The young man says, with a wide smile, "At last, I've found it! Duel Academy and it took me at least a month to get here!" The young man thinks in his mind, excitedly, "Now, all I have to do is win the GX Tournament since the prize appears to be a wish within reason, which means that I'll find Ranma and get him back to Akane!" The young man gains a sad look on his face, then angry one, and he thinks in his mind, "Damn them! If Hotaru hadn't snooped onto Akane's conversion with her friends, then acted like a big sister as usual by giving a recording of Akane's words to Ranma, then Ranma would have stayed with Akane, rather than leaving her hurt like that! Now, thanks to Ranma, he had to reveal to Akane about my curse, making her hate me! Ever since that night, when I try to approach Akane, she just mallets, hits, and kicks me while calling me a 'backstabbing pervert'! I may fall out of love with Akane by giving it to Akari, but I still care for her! Well this time, when I win the GX Tournament, I'm going to wish that I have a private investigation so I can finally find Ranma without getting lost as usual and bring him back to Akane, even if I have break his legs and drag him back myself!" Just then, a small wave comes at the young man and yelps in shock as it hits him, then he transforms into a small black piglet wearing the leopard skinned bandana while his clothes and backpack were lying on the sand.

Just then, a female voice calls out, "Hey look!" The little pig turns to see two female SOL members running toward the young man turned pig.

One of the SOL females picks up the pig, placed it to her chest, while the little pig blushes and she says, in a cold loving tone, "Oh this is such a cute little pig!"

The other female SOL member asks, curiously, "I wonder where this pig came from." The second female SOL member looks at the clothes and backpack on the ground and she yells out, shocked, "There's clothes on the ground and a backpack!"

The first female SOL member says, in a cold annoyed snort, "Some pervert is probably running around naked on the beach! That's so disgusting!"

The second female SOL member says, in a cold plain tone, "We can adopt him as a pet."

The first female SOL member says, with a nod, "Good idea and we should bring those clothes and backpack to teach that pervert a lesson in modesty!" The second female SOL member then picks up the clothes and backpack, which she finds a bit tough to carry and he says, in disbelief, "Whoa! This backpack weighs a ton, especially the umbrella!"

The second female SOL member says, in a cold plain tone, "Maybe the pervert is a body builder, who knows. Let's go! Maybe, this pig is that guy's owner. Anyway, leave the backpack here since it's too heavy for us to carry." Soon after, two female SOL members walked towards the direction of the 'White Dorm' while carrying the pig and the clothes, while leaving the backpack behind.

(Within Duel Academy's hot springs area; A few moments later)

Inside of Duel Academy's hot springs facility, we find plenty of the SOL girls, including our heroes' and heroines' 'former' friends/allies and family members, with towels wrapped around their bodies and much of their busts taking a dip in the hot springs. Ever since the Society of Light took control of much of the school, they managed to gain control of the hot springs area because many of the other students that weren't brainwashed were afraid of getting attacked by the SOL members. So, the SOL members pretty much were in control of Duel Academy's hot springs. As the SOL girls were discussing their usual 'business' including about what happened so far.

With our heroes' and heroines' 'former' friends/allies and family members, Akane says, with a relief sigh, "The nonbelievers may have control of the whole school, but at least we have the hot springs."

Alexis says, with a cold sly smile, "I know and thanks to Master Sartorius's plans to brainwash Chazz's brothers, we'll gain control of Duel Academy through its stocks and interests."

Yuka says, with a cold smile, "Yeah, the nonbelievers won't know what hit him."

Akane says, in a cold plain tone, "Though, I keep wondering what's with that weird mark on Ranma's right arm and what could it mean?"

Eri tells Akane, in a cold plain tone, "Master Sartorius is getting to the bottom of this as we speak."

Akane says, in a cold plain tone, "Well, it looks like that not only I got something after Ranma, Hotaru, Ukyo, Mousse, and Auntie Saotome left."

Temari asks, curiously, "You mean…your Jusenkyo curse?"

Akane nods solemnly and she says, in a groan, "Now, I know what Ranma goes through." Just then, a hail of feminine screams was heard over at another part of the hot springs area.

Tatsuki says, surprised, "What was that!?"

Eri says, in a cold serious tone, "Most likely, we got ourselves either a peeking tom or this is the nonbelievers' work to torture us some more!"

Alexis says, in a cold serious tone, "Only, one way to find out! Come on!" Just then, the SOL girls got out of the springs with towels wrapped around their bodies and dashed towards the direction of the screams. A few moments later, they went up another group of SOL females with nothing on but their towels wrapped around their frames with angered and annoyed looks on their faces and Temari asks, in a cold serious tone, "What's going on here?!"

One of the female SOL members says, in a cold serious tone, "Well, two of our members brought a little black piglet into the springs."

Akane's eyes widened at this and she thinks, in a cold annoyed tone, "It couldn't be…!"

The female SOL member says, in a cold annoyed tone, "When they got into the hot springs with the pig, the pig turned into a human!"

Akane yells out, in a cold enraged tone, "What!? I'll kill him for sure!" Akane springs towards the direction where the other female SOL members were looking at.

Temari says, in a cold serious tone, "It couldn't be!"

Yuka says, in a cold annoyed tone, "It must be that pervert that Akane told us about!"

Eri says, in a cold strong tone, "Let's go and teach him a lesson!" Our brainwashed heroines went over to the direction that Akane went to. In the very angry and annoyed females gazes, we find the young man, now naked, in a hot spring with his lower half in the water with his eyes covered by his hands with a nervous panicking look.

The young man says, nervously, "Wait! It's not what it looks like!"

Just then, Akane's voice roars out, in a cold great enraged tone, "You disgusting closet pervert! You die today!"

The young man yelps in shock and he thinks in his mind, "That voice!" The young man turns to see Akane, who had a cold angered look on her face, with a big white mallet in her hands.

The young man says, shocked, "Akane!"

Akane says, in a cold nasty tone, "So, the rotten backstabbing pervert remembers me! How could he forget when I don't know…USED HIS CURSED FORM TO SPY ON ME, GET ON MY CHEST, AND SLEEP WITH ME!!!" The young man winches at Akane's nasty tone and he thinks, solemnly, "She hasn't forgiven me yet!"

Just then, Alexis, Temari, Tatsuki, Yuka, and Eri went to Akane's side and Alexis asks her, "Akane, is this the guy!?"

Akane says, with a cold snort, "That's the one, 'Lex! His name is Ryoga Hibiki, one of Ranma's martial arts rivals, before he went to the Leaf Village. Like Ranma, Hotaru, and Mousse, he too has a Jusenkyo curse when he, like a moron, followed Ranma and Mister Saotome to Jusenkyo and Ranma happened to kick him into the Spring of Drowned Pig, accidently! The pervert actually had the gull to blame Ranma for his curse. Also, I pretty much told you what he's done to me as well as making me mistrust Ranma for a few events that happened in the past, while one of the reasons why I get the full pounding from Hotaru and why Ranma left me in the first place!"

Tatsuki says, in a cold annoyed tone, "And it looks like he's ready for another round!"

The young man, Ryoga, says, nervously, "Wait! Akane, it's not what it looks like!"

While a bright blue battle aura appears around her body, Akane says, in a cold annoyed tone, "You know, Hibiki, in the past, one of the reasons why Hotaru always hitting me on the head using her Power Pole was because I keep on siding with you like the time that both you and Ranma turned into six year olds, I kept siding with you and I paid for it whenever Hotaru hits me on the head or slams my chin with her fist and whenever Ranma and Hotaru call you names like 'Charlotte', 'P-chan', 'piggy', 'porky', and 'bacon butt', I keep telling them not to pick on you and that always triggers Hotaru calling me a 'moron'! I've felt physical pain from the beating by Hotaru's hands, because of protecting you in your cursed form! I've felt emotional pain because of you, one of my friends, who betrayed my trust and made me mistrust Ranma almost most of the time! Making me believe Hotaru only hits me because I'm almost most of the time, siding with you whenever you and Ranma go at it! You also took two of the most precious things to me away permanently. One of the reasons why Ranma left me is because of you and I've been waiting for a very long time to make you wish that you weren't even born! Now, what you did to me was bad enough, but you go around and doing the same thing that you did to me, to another one of my fellow Society girls! And here I thought that Ranma was shameless at times! You're even worse than Happosai!"

Ryoga says, nervously, "No, I wasn't!"

Akane yells out, in a cold angered tone, "Liar!"

One of the two female SOL members that were at the beach comes up to Akane with Ryoga's clothes and she says, in a cold annoyed tone, "We found these clothes on the beach and we know now, it belongs to this pervert."

Ryoga yells out, strongly, "I'm not a…!" Ryoga was hit by his clothes in the face and slammed at the chin by Akane's mallet, throwing him into the air, smashing through the ceiling making a human shaped hole.

Akane roars out, in a cold strong tone, "And don't ever come back, you asshole!"

(Elsewhere on the Island; Sometime later)

At another part of Academy Island, we find Ranma Saotome, with Sharingan eyes, standing in the middle of the clearing where dozens of kunai knives and shuriken were laying around and it seems that Ranma was practicing shuriken throwing with a tired look on his face.

Ranma thinks in his mind, plainly, "Man! I never thought that my life would be so weird! I guess that it started when Hotaru, Konatsu, Ukyo, and I left a past behind and to my mother's house."

Flashback; A Year Ago at Nodoka's house in Nerima

We find ourselves at a small lot in the ward of Nerima where Nodoka and Genma, before he, Ranma, and Hotaru left for a training trip, lived at and Ranma, Hotaru, Ukyo, and Konatsu were inside the house in front of Nodoka as they told her about what had happened between Ranma and Akane.

Nodoka says, plainly, "So, I take it that you've ended your engagement with Akane, son."

Ranma says, with a nod, "That's right, mom! I can't be in an engagement when the love is just one-sided and Akane made that perfectly clear to me. I know that it's family honor, but I want to marry someone who trusts and loves me back and I can trust. I don't care if I have to commit seppuku like I promised when I was a baby, I refuse to allow Akane to be unhappy for the rest of her life. I love her so much that I let her go, so she can be happy with whoever she ends up with and I don't want to marry Kasumi or Nabiki, since I look at them like sisters instead of fiancées. Plus, Kasumi has her eye on Doctor Tofu."

Nodoka says, amazed, "So, you would commit seppuku to protect the family's honor and make Akane happy."

Hotaru, Ukyo, and Konatsu look at Ranma with shock and Ranma says, with a sad smile, "Yeah…but mom, please, don't include Hotaru in this as well. I know that she promised you the same thing, but this is my problem and I don't want her to get involved even if she's my sister."

Nodoka closes her eyes and she smiled, saying, "Ranma…" Nodoka opens her eyes and says, with a smile, "You are so manly!"

Ranma looked surprised as well as the others in the room and Hotaru says, amazed, "So, mom, either I or Ranma have to commit seppuku!"

Nodoka says, with a loving smile and tone, "Oh sweetie, any man who would care for the one he loves so much as your brother do for Akane and would protect family honor at the cost of their lives is definitely a man among men! So, Ranma, neither you nor your father and sister have to commit seppuku!"

Ukyo says, excitedly, "So, Ranma and Hotaru are free!"

Nodoka nods with a smile and then there was a knock on the door and Konatsu asks, curiously, "Who could that be at this time of night?"

Nodoka walks over to the door, opens it to reveal the faces of Kakashi Hatake (Age 29), Sakura Haruno (Age 15), wearing her ninja clothes, Shikamaru Nara (Age 15), wearing his ninja clothes, and Ino Yamanaka (Age 15), wearing her ninja clothes.

Nodoka says, surprised, "Kakashi! Kakashi Hatake! Is that you!?"

Ranma, Hotaru, Ukyo, and Konatsu yelp in shock and Ranma says, surprised, "Kakashi Hatake, the famous 'Copy Ninja'!"

Kakashi says, with a smile under his mask, "Hello, it's been a good while…Nodoka Himura."

Nodoka says, with a kind smile, "Actually, it's Saotome, I'm married to Genma Saotome, you know. Please come in." Then, Temari and the Leaf Village ninja came into the house and Ranma comes by and asks, curiously, "Hey mom, who are they?"

Kakashi looks at Ranma and Hotaru and he asks, plainly, "Nodoka, are these your children?"

Nodoka says, with a smile, "Yes, this is Hotaru, the oldest, and Ranma, the youngest, they're both twins." Nodoka then points at Ukyo and Konatsu and she says, "This is my adoptive daughter, Ukyo Kuonji, and this is Konatsu."

Konatsu says, while bowing, "Nice to meet you all."

Sakura says, surprised, "You're a ninja too!"

Konatsu says, in a plain tone, "Actually, I was trained by my father and stepfamily in the ninja arts."

Nodoka points at Kakashi and she says, "This is Kakashi Hatake, he's a Jonin from the village Hidden in the Leaves."

Sakura says, with a kind smile, "I'm Sakura Haruno!"

Shikamaru says, plainly, "I'm Shikamaru Nara."

Ino says, with a sly smile, "I'm Ino Yamanaka."

Ranma asks his mother, "Hey mom, what's going on here?"

Nodoka says, in a serious tone, "I guess I should tell you all about my little secret." Nodoka takes out a Leaf Village headband from her kimono and she says, plainly, "I was a Leaf Village Kunoichi, before you all were born."

Hotaru says, surprised, "You a ninja!"

Ukyo says, amazed, "Mom, I never knew!"

Nodoka says, with a nod, "That's right and your father already knows about my life as a kunoichi and I had him promise not to reveal it to you since I'm going to reveal it to you, myself. You see, children, I have a genetic power called a Kekkai Genkai, which are abilities passed down genetically in specific clans. The Kekkai Genkai I have is called the legendary 'Tengoku-teki na Taigen Suru' or 'Celestial Embodiment', which is appropriate when you have the ability to gain practically every Shinobi skills and ability."

Hotaru says, surprised, "Celestial Embodiment!"

Nodoka walks over to Shikamaru and she asks, kindly, "Your father is Shikaku Nara of the Nara clan, isn't he?"

Shikamaru asks, curiously, "You know my dad?"

Nodoka says, kindly, "Why yes? I suppose that you know the Nara clan's secrets like the Shadow Possession Jutsu."

Shikamaru says, with a nod, "That's right!" Nodoka takes a piece of Shikamaru's hair, making him yelp in pain and he yells out, annoyed, "Hey! What the…!?" Shikamaru then gasps in shock as Nodoka closes her eyes as the hair is absorbed right into her skin.

Ino says, surprised, "No way!"

Nodoka places her hands into a ninja sign and she calls out, strongly, "Ninja Art: Shadow Possession Jutsu!" Just then, Nodoka's shadow 'came to life' and zipped over to Ranma's shadow, freezing him, and Ranma yells out, shocked, "What the?!" Ranma tries to move, but couldn't and he says, straining, "I can't move!"

Hotaru exclaims, surprised, "Ranma!"

Nodoka tells her son, "This is the Shadow Possession Jutsu, son!" Nodoka moves her right arm up while Ranma, not in control of his body, has his right hand up and he yells out, shocked, "What's going on!?"

Sakura says, surprised, "It's true! Just like Kakashi-sensei said! She can take copy techniques like the Sharingan!"

Kakashi tells Sakura, in a plain tone, "Actually the Celestial Embodiment is more advanced than the Sharingan, you see, the Sharingan copies jutsu not other Kekkai Genkai has the Celestial Embodiment that Nodoka has." Nodoka then let's go of her son's shadow, making him able to move, again.

Ukyo says, amazed, "That's a neat trick, mom!"

Nodoka says, in a plain tone, "Yes and I should tell you the story, but I should serve our guests."

After ten minutes of so and everyone finishing their food and Nodoka says, solemnly, "So, the Third Hokage died, I see?"

Shikamaru says, in a snort, "Yeah, Orochimaru is the one to blame. He fought with the Third Hokage and murdered him."

Nodoka says, in a snarl, "Orochimaru…"

Ranma asks, with a concern, "Hey mom, are you okay?"

Nodoka's scowl turns to a smile and she says, with a smile, "I'm fine, Ranma dear!" Nodoka says, amazed, "And Tsunade-sensei is the current Hokage, I see?"

Hotaru says, perplexed, "Sensei?"

Nodoka says, with a kind smile, "I was a part of a three man squad with Tsunade-sensei being our Jonin squad leader and like Sakura, here, I was her student and best one! Tsunade-sensei is one of the three Sannin of the Leaf Village. I have Tsunade-sensei to thank for turning me into the best healers of my generation."

Sakura tells Nodoka, with a smile, "You're a good cook, Missus Saotome."

Nodoka says, with a kind smile, "Please, dear, call me 'Auntie', the Missus makes me sound old." Nodoka asks Kakashi, curiously, "Now, Kakashi, why have you come here?"

Kakashi says, with a sigh, "I knew that it will come to this sooner or later…" Kakashi then says, in a serious tone, "Nodoka, you're being called back to the village."

Nodoka gasps in shock and she yells out, a rare surprised tone, "What!? I'm called back!"

Ranma exclaims, seriously, "Mom, what's going on here?"

Nodoka says, seriously, "But why…? The Third said that…!"

Kakashi says, in a serious tone, "It's under the council of the council and Danzo's orders. They managed to find out about you and your whereabouts and requested you to come back to the Leaf Village."

Nodoka says, shocked, "But how? How did those old buzzards find out about me?"

Kakashi replies, in a serious tone, "We don't know about that, Nodoka. I'm sorry…"

Hotaru asks Nodoka, curiously, "What's up? Mom?"

Nodoka says, in a serious tone, "It's time that I told you and your brother about the story with my Kekkai Genkai, Hotaru. You see, my Kekkai Genkai comes from a village states from the Feudal Era of Japan called the Village Hidden in the Moonlight!"

Ranma says, perplexed, "Village Hidden in the Moonlight?"

Nodoka says, with a nod, "That's right, dear? It was a ninja village similar to the Leaf Village many years before the Feudal Era and until one fateful night where the ninja village residents were massacred, but one kunoichi, remained since she was sent on a mission about a demon problem. Some of the Moonlight Village had the Celestial Embodiment Kekkai Genkai."

Konatsu asks Nodoka, curiously, "But Nodoka-sama, if the massacre happened in the Feudal Era, then why do you have the Celestial Embodiment Kekkai Genkai?"

Nodoka says, in a serious tone, "Orochimaru is the one, who gave this to me."

Ranma says, perplexed, "Orochimaru?"

Kakashi says, in a serious tone, "Orochimaru was once a ninja from the Leaf Village and one of the three legendary Sannin from our village. He was also a student of the Third Hokage and wanted to be the Fourth Hokage, but he was turned down and left the village as a rogue ninja."

Sakura says, angrily, "Also, almost two years ago, Orochimaru tricked the Sand Village into attacking the Leaf Village and Orochimaru killed the Third Hokage, then he seduced a dear friend of mine into going to him for power."

Ukyo asks, curiously, "Who is this friend?"

Kakashi says, in a plain tone, "I'm sure that you've heard about him…Sasuke Uchiha."

Ranma, Hotaru, Ukyo, Konatsu, and Nodoka yelps in shock and Ranma yells out, shocked, "Sasuke Uchiha…the last of the Uchiha clan!"

Nodoka says, horrified, "Orochimaru has an Uchiha under him! I never that that he would go that far!"

Konatsu says, in a serious tone, "When I was living with my stepmother and stepsister, I heard stories about the Uchiha clan being massacred, but two of the remaining Uchihas were left standing and one Uchiha was responsible for it."

Ino says, seriously, "Sasuke went to Orochimaru, who promised him power to kill his older brother, Itachi, who killed the entire Uchiha clan, but Orochimaru plans on using Sasuke's body with a Forbidden Jutsu to obtain Sasuke's Sharingan."

Ukyo says, disgusted, "That's sick!"

Nodoka says, in a serious tone, "Before he left, Orochimaru conducted experiments on Genin, Chunin, Jonin, and other innocent people for his Eternal Life Jutsu and only two people survived, I was one of them that was a part of that monster's sick experiments."

Ranma yells out, horrified, "No way!"

Nodoka says, in a serious tone, "Orochimaru went to the site where the Moonlight Village was dig up the graves, took a sample of their DNA, mixing it with mine, given me the Kekkai Genkai belong to the residents of the Moonlight Village."

Shikamaru says, in a serious tone, "And since the Celestial Embodiment is a Kekkai Genkai or a genetic trait that means that Ranma and Hotaru Saotome has as well."

Ranma says, amazed, "Hotaru and I have the Kekkai Genkai and mom and Pop never told us!"

Nodoka says, in a serious tone, "I told him not to tell you two, because there was a good reason for that, Ranma. People like the council, especially Danzo, a man who do anything for political power and war, would use me to make their own Moonlight Village as 'breeding material' to create the Moonlight Village for their own usage."

Ukyo says, sickened, "That's sick!"

Kakashi says, solemnly, "I know how all of you may feel, but this is the order of the council and we must follow it. Nodoka, you and your children have to come back to the Leaf Village. The reason why we're taking you and your children back is that we need your help on defeating the Akatsuki and Orochimaru as well as bringing Sasuke back."

Nodoka says, surprised, "The Akatsuki, so the situation with them is worse, I see."

Kakashi says, in a plain tone, "Yes, we know that they're after a fellow Leaf Village ninja of ours and my former student, Naruto Uzumaki."

Nodoka says, curiously, "Naruto Uzumaki, the Jinchūriki of the Nine-Tailed Fox?"

Kakashi says, with a nod, "That's right! He's currently training under one of the legendary Sannin, Jiraiya, and should be arriving in the village within five months. We're going to need you and your children to come back with us."

Nodoka says, with a sigh, "I understand, but my children…"

Ranma says, seriously, "Mom, stop! I think it's best that we should go with you!"

Nodoka looks at Ranma with surprise and she says, surprised, "Ranma…"

Ranma says, in a serious tone, "It's best that we should leave this town and go back to the village. I need to get out of here, get away from rivals, get away from the fiancées or fiancés, and get away from the madness."

Hotaru says, in a plain tone, "I agree with Ranma, besides, we want to see this Leaf Village, where you grew up, mom. Also, I want to see this Tsunade woman, who was your teacher."

Ukyo says, in a serious tone, "Wait, I'll go too!"

Kakashi says, in a plain tone, "That would be a good idea! In fact, we were supposed to be an Ukyo Kuonji with us."

Ukyo says, perplexed, "Come again?"

Kakashi asks Ukyo, curiously, "Ukyo, do you know anything about your biological mother's past?"

Ukyo says, shaking her head, "No, she died when she gave birth to me."

Kakashi says, in a serious tone, "Your mother, Reiko Kuonji came from the Leaf Village, mainly the Hyuga clan."

Ukyo says, perplexed, "Hyuga clan? You mean my mother was a ninja too!"

Nodoka says, in a serious tone, "The Hyuga clan is one of the oldest and most powerful clans in the Leaf Village. All members born in to the family possess the Byakugan, a Kekkai Genkai that gives them extended fields of vision and the ability to see chakra and internal organs. The Uchiha clan's Sharingan is believed to be descended from the Byakugan."

Kakashi says, in a serious tone, "Along with Nodoka and her children, I think that it's best that we bring Ukyo with us."

Konatsu says, seriously, "Wait, I want to go with Ukyo-sama as well!"

Kakashi says, with a nod, "Sure, why not?"

Ranma says, with a smile, "Since, Ukyo is bringing someone, I think that I want to bring along someone else as well. Someone, who wants to be stronger than ever."

(Within the Cat Café; a few moments later)

In the back of the Cat Café, Shampoo and Cologne's ramen restaurant, we find Mousse walking towards the garbage dumpster with a bag of garbage. All day, Shampoo and Cologne kept working him like a dog than usual and Mousse was tired of it.

Mousse says, with an annoyed tone, "Rotten old mummy, I wish that I was strong and skilled enough to defeat her so she'll able to respect me." Mousse slams the garbage bag into the dumpster in frustration.

Just then, a familiar male voice booms out, "Don't worry, Mousse, you'll get your wish soon enough!" Mousse whips around to see Ranma, Hotaru, and Kakashi standing in the room.

Mousse snaps, getting a fighting stance, "Ranma Saotome! You want to fight, huh!?"

Hotaru snaps, annoyed, "You dork! Do you want have Shampoo or the Old Ghoul to find out that we're here! No doubt that Shampoo is more devious than ever to bring my brother to the village since he states that he doesn't want to marry Shampoo at all!"

Mousse started to see reason and he says, lowly, "What do you want?" Mousse looks at Kakashi and he asks, "Hey, I know you! You're Kakashi Hatake the 'Copy Ninja', aren't you?"

Kakashi says, with a nod, "That's right! Now, I do believe that you should start packing, if you want to be stronger, Mousse."

Mousse says, amazed, "How did…?"

Ranma says, in a whisper, "We don't have time! Start packing and we'll explain along the way unless you want the Old Ghoul or Shampoo to stop you! Look at it this way, Mousse, if you're stronger, then you could defeat Cologne so she as well as Shampoo will respect you or Shampoo will love you."

Mousse says, surprised, "Shampoo…love me…" Mousse then asks, suspiciously, "Why are you helping me?"

Ranma says, with a sly smile, "Think of it, Mousse, I don't want Shampoo, but you do. This is a chance of a lifetime, Mousse. Shampoo and Cologne knows your weapon tricks like the back of their hands and I know that you hate the way that Shampoo and Cologne treat you, but if you come with us, then you'll be stronger than ever and Cologne will respect you as well as Shampoo or Shampoo will love you." Ranma then says, in a serious tone, "Plus, I've already made this perfectly clear that I don't want Shampoo, I don't want to marry her and I don't love her. That's one of the reasons why I'm leaving this town. I'm tired of all the rivalry and fighting in this town. So what do you say, Mousse?"

Mousse thought about this for a bit and he says, plainly, "Okay, Ranma…you have a deal, but this better not be a trick or you'll be sorry."

End Flashback; Back to the present

Back to the present, we find Ranma picking up his kunai knives and shuriken from the ground and he thinks in his mind, plainly, "Mousse came with us to the Leaf Village where we met Grandma Tsunade, Naruto, the Old Pervert, Jiraiya, and the rest of the Leaf Village ninja. The only ones that knew about my, Hotaru's, and Mousse's curses were only the ninja from the Leaf and they didn't mind, in fact, they started to accept me as their own…unlike Akane and the others from Nermia did. Grandma Tsunade accepted Mousse, Hotaru, Ukyo, and I as her students along with Sakura and Ino. The Old Pervert may be a pain, but he's not like the freak, Happosai, who just latches on my chest when I'm a girl, which makes living with him fine, since Grandma Tsunade swore that if the Old Pervert so much as squash cool water on me, then Grandma Tsunade would tear him apart. Grandma Tsunade, with many connections, also null and void all of my 'engagements' that Pop put me and Hotaru, including the one that I had with Akane as well as the stupid Kiss of Marriage' that was with Shampoo, which Mousse was extreme grateful for it as long as I'm a resident ninja of the Leaf! Mom also told us about our Juraian heritage after Naruto, Sakura, Yamato-sensei, who was another one other than mom who survived Orochimaru's sick experiments, Sai, Mousse, and I were defeated by Sasuke Uchiha when we met him at Orochimaru's lair to bring Sasuke back. I even used the Sharingan that I've gained from Kakashi-sensei to match Sasuke, but even though, I've managed to grab a few hairs from Sasuke's head when Sai and I grabbed Sasuke from killing Naraku, but I couldn't defeat him. I couldn't believe that I'm a quarter alien, which couldn't have my life to be any weirder. As for Mousse and I, we became friends within the next two months since he finally gets that I had no interests in marrying Shampoo nor I love her. We also saw the horrors that Nine-Tailed Fox within Naruto could do.."

Just then, a familiar feminine voice booms out, "I thought that we'd find you here!" Ranma turns to Nabiki with a radical change.

Nabiki's hairstyle remains the same, but her hair is pitch black in color with dark violet highlights, her lips are bright dark violet, her earrings consist bright dark violet jewels, her female Obelisk Blue uniform has become a black and blue version of itself with all of the white in the uniform being replaced by pitch black color, with a dark blue sleeveless shirt underneath the vest, her fingernails are dark violet color, she has a pitch black stockings over her legs, and her high-heeled boots have become dark violet in color.

Ranma says, in his usual sarcastic tone, "You look different today, Nabiki."

Nabiki says, with a sly smile, "Actually, I think I like the new 'Goth' look. Plus, they say being in black takes makes you look a bit thinner." Nabiki then gains a very serious look and she says, in a serious tone, "Actually, I want talk to you."

Ranma says, in a plain tone, "If you're talking me to go back to Nerima, then forget it."

Nabiki was taken back at that, then shook it off and she says, seriously, "Ranma, I know what happened and…!"

Ranma yells out, annoyed, "Then, why the hell are you even asking!?"

Nabiki exclaims, seriously, "You have to understand that…!"

Ranma yells out, seriously, "I understand perfectly, Nabiki! Your sister made herself perfectly clear! Why should I go back to Nerima where I'm wronged, malleted, and yelled at for something that's not even not my fault! The only one that has ever being fair to me as been my sister and your sister, Kasumi! I was tired of all the romantic rivalry and all those fiancées because of Pop's deal to feed his overgrown belly. I admit I can be a jerk at times, but I get blamed for things that I didn't even do! Give one good reason why I should go back to Nerima! Huh?! Was is that you need me for your financial gain!?"

Nabiki says, seriously, "Akane…"

Ranma says, in an annoyed sneer, "Oh yes! Your little sister, the one that always yelled, hit, kicked, and malleted me on things, even things that's not even my fault! Whenever I'm glomped by Shampoo or get into situations with those other girls, I get hit by your sister without having me to explain myself for those situations! It's always my fault! My fault! My fault! I'm tired of it, Nabiki! Do you hear me!? I'm tired!"

Nabiki says, seriously, "Do you think that you're the only one that was tired!? Akane…!"

Ranma says, seriously, "Look, I think that it's cute that you're defending your sister, but it's not going to work! Your sister said that she hated me, even after I've risked my life for her as well as killed a god for her, fighting when she was humiliated by that weird cheerleader that fell in love with Kuno, after all that time, she didn't trust me! She doesn't trust me and she never will!"

Nabiki was taken back at this and she yells out, seriously, "You're wrong, Saotome! Akane, didn't…!"

Ranma yells out, seriously, "I told you that it's not going to work, Nabiki! I left Nerima so she can be happy again and I can be happy! I'm at the place where the people don't wrong me or making me apologize for things that not even my fault! You've wasted your time in convincing to leave the place where I'm actually respected! I'm sorry, Nabiki, I'm not going back to Nerima ever again! So, don't even try to change my mind!" Ranma then says, with a sneer, "Oh and by the way, are you going to call those weirdoes from Nerima, including Kuno?"

Nabiki says, with a sigh, "Do you really think that I would do that? Besides, your sister took my PDA since she doesn't trust me not to call them, so you don't have to worry."

Ranma says, with a snort, "She's right not to trust you!"

Nabiki was going to say something, but a familiar male scream came from the sky and Ranma and Nabiki looked up to see a male figure fall from the sky, then crashed to the ground hard. Ranma and Nabiki looked at the figure, which appears to be Ryoga Hibiki, who was clothed, with anime swirls in his eyes, while groaning in pain.

Ranma exclaims, shocked, "Ryoga!"

Nabiki yells out, seriously, "What are you doing here!?"

Ryoga groans as he sits up as he looks at Ranma and Nabiki and he says, surprised, "Ranma!? Nabiki!? Is that you two!? What's with the 'Goth' look!?"

Nabiki says, in a dark plain tone, "Let's just say we're in a dark mood."

Ryoga says, getting up, "Now that question is out of the way…RANMA, PREPARE TO DIE!!" Ryoga charges after Ranma, while preparing to strike him down, but Ranma dodges and jumps into the air with Ryoga following in pursuit and Ranma asks, seriously, "What's with you, Porky!?"

Ryoga yells out, strongly, "Because of you, Saotome, I've seen Hell!" Ryoga then tries to swing his right fist at Ranma, trying to hit him, but Ranma maneuvers it, and he lands onto the ground with Ryoga landing in front of him with a good distance.

Ranma says, with a sneer, "Let me guess! You're sore that you've given your curse away to Akane after I've promised not to tell! Too bad, she was going to find out eventually!"

Ryoga yells out, seriously, "I could care less about that, Ranma! You're going back to Akane even if I have to break all your bones and drag you back there myself!"

Ranma yells out, seriously, "You're wasting your time, Ryoga! I'm not going back since she hates me! Hotaru told me that, herself, and she even has proof and I'm not going back to that damned town where I don't get a moment of moment of peace there!"

Ryoga says, seriously, "It looks like you've got your information all mixed up, Ranma!"

Ranma says, in a serious tone, "It's too late to do anything, pig boy!"

Ryoga yells out, strongly, "That's it! You're coming back with me!" Ryoga charges at Ranma, but Ranma uses his new ninja speed to dodge the blow and Ranma says, seriously while turning his eyes to Sharingan eyes, "It looks like you're not going to make this any easier on me, huh, Ryoga?" Ranma places his hands in ninja hand signs, confusing Ryoga, and Ranma yells out, strongly, "Multi-Shadow Clone Jutsu!" Just then Ranma is engulfed in smoke and out of the smoke, two hundred Ranma Shadow Clones with Sharingan eyes surrounds Ryoga.

Ryoga yells out, shocked, "What in the…!?"

Ranma and his Shadow Clones yell out, with a sly smile, "Like it! It's my Multi-Shadow Clone Jutsu, one of my newest tricks I've learned and that's not all, I've got the power of the Uchiha on my side, the Sharingan!"

Ryoga says, surprised, "The Sharingan, the one that's from the late Uchiha clan! How did you get that technique!? All the Uchihas are dead!"!?" Ryoga thinks in his mind, seriously, "Damn it! Dealing with one Ranma was bad enough, but two hundred of them it's like an army! Plus, Ranma has the Sharingan! But how!? Ranma isn't an Uchiha!?" Ryoga yells out, strongly, "You can't fool me, Ranma! I know that these are all illusions just to make me think that they're real!"

One of the Ranma Shadow Clones yells out, with a sly smile, "You asked for it!"

Another of the Ranma Shadow Clones runs up to Ryoga, bashes him in the chest, causing him to gasp out for air, and another one, kicks him into the chest, knocking him down to the ground, and this Shadow Clones says, with a sly smile, "Still think that it's an illusion!"

Ryoga gets up, slowly, as he wipes the blood of his lip and he thinks in his mind, surprised, "Whoa! That was real and that one hurt more than Ranma's usual punishes! I guess that he's done some serious training!"

Ranma asks, with a sly smile, "What to quit!?"

Ryoga yells out, with a sneer, "In your dreams, Saotome! There may be two hundred of you, but that's not going to stop me from taking you down!"

Ranma yells out, strongly, "We'll see about that! Attack!" Soon after, Ranma and his Shadow Clones charges after Ryoga and Ryoga tries his best to fight off Ranma's Shadow Clones.

Nabiki says, in a serious tone, "It must be from either Sasuke Uchiha or Kakashi Hatake that Ranma got his Sharingan from." On the meanwhile, Ranma and his Shadow Clones are fighting Ryoga. Ryoga manages to defeat two of the Ranma Shadow Clones with some his agility and his umbrella, sending them to the ground before they vanish but then two more Ranma Shadow Clones slam their feet into Ryoga's gut causing him to cough out blood and a third sends Ryoga right into a tree with a similar version of Tsunade's Super-Strength causing Ryoga's imprint to appear on the tree when he crashes into it and he makes a Ryoga shaped hole. Ryoga slowly stands onto his feet while holding his ribs and he thinks in his mind, seriously, "Damn it! I need to do something about those clones of Ranma's if I'm able to defeat him! Now, if one of those clones were almost seriously hurt, then they'll disappear." Ryoga yells out, strongly, "That's it! You're going down and so are those clones! Bakusai Tenketsu!" Ryoga slams his right index finger to the ground as an explosion as debris come at some of the Ranma Shadows Clones as five of them disappears from getting hit by the debris, however, Ranma and his Shadow Clones smashes through the debris, while using their versions of Tsunade's Super-Strength, surprising Ryoga as Ranma came in front of him while take a few pieces of Ryoga's hair and leaps back a bit.

Ranma puts the pieces of Ryoga's hair in his vest as his skin absorbs Ryoga's hair, surprising Ryoga, and he says, surprised, "What the heck!?"

Ranma thrusts his hands towards Ryoga, powering up a familiar blue chi blast and Ryoga yells out, shocked, "No way! That's…!"

Ranma yells out, strongly, "Shishi Hokodan!" Ranma fires his blast at Ryoga, but Ryoga manages to dodge it, as it hits the ground, causing an explosion. Ryoga yells out, seriously, "Hey wait a minute, Ranma! How were you able to use the Shishi Hokodan when you can't maintain the depression that I have!"

Ranma says, with a sly smile, "Simple, through my Kekkai Genkai, the Celestial Embodiment."

Ryoga says, perplexed, "Celestial Embodiment?" Soon after, Ranma quickly tells Ryoga about the 'Celestial Embodiment' Kekkai Genkai and its history and origins.

Ryoga says, seriously, "So it can copy techniques!"

Ranma says, with a sly smile, "That's right and that's how I've got the Sharingan. Now, I'm going to defeat you with a technique that I've made up on my own!" Ranma notions four of his remaining Shadow Clones to charge, which they did and they leaped into the air as Ryoga prepares to defend himself, but Ranma appears in front of him, too close, surprising him, drops down and kicks him in the chin, throwing him into the air. Just then, a group of Ranma Shadow Clones jumps up in the air after Ryoga, who was just kicked in the air, and they hit him with powerful kicks, they call out, "Ran…ma…Sao…tome!" Soon after, half-dozen more clones throw the real Ranma and five more clones into the air as they get into the stance where Ranma goes Neko and they yells out, in catlike tones, "Cat's Barrrrage!" Ranma and his clones smash their fists to any part of Ryoga's body, throwing him to the ground with a loud bang.

Nabiki says, in a rare stunned tone, "Cat's Barrage!" On the meanwhile, Ryoga grunts in pain as he lay on the ground with multiple bruises and cuts on his body as well as cuts and holes on his clothes as he sees Ranma and his Shadow Clones landing around his aching body.

Ranma says, in a plain tone, "That's the Cat's Barrage! It's a mixture of my Neko-ken as well as Naruto's Uzumaki Barrage and Sasuke's Lion's Barrage! I used the Sharingan to copy and trained my body to handle the taijutsu. I had managed to master the Neko-ken while combining it to a Taijutsu move that he made up on his own, but I'm is still afraid of cats. Face it, Ryoga! You've lost! I'm not going back with you!"

Ryoga slowly gets into a sitting position and he says, weakly, "That's…what…you…thin…" Just then, in a puff of smoke, Mousse, Nodoka, Sakura, and Kakashi appears between them.

Mousse says, in a plain tone, "That's enough, you two."

Ryoga says, shocked, "Mousse! Missus Saotome! Is that you!?"

Mousse tells Ryoga, "Long time no see, Ryoga!"

Ryoga says, looking at Kakashi, "Hey, you're Kakashi Hatake, the famous 'Copy Ninja' from the lands of the Shinobi, who's known to have the Sharingan at his left eye."

Kakashi says, with a nod, "That's right!" Kakashi then asks Ranma, "Ranma, care to explain what just happened?"

Ranma says, in a plain tone, "I'll explain what happened, Kakashi-sensei!" Ranma points at Ryoga and he says, "This is Ryoga Hibiki, one of my martial arts rival and one of the victims from the Jusenkyo Springs."

Ryoga yells at Ranma, annoyed, "Did you have to…" Ryoga winches in pain as Ranma comes over and he says, plainly, "Hold still, will ya?"

Ryoga says, nastily, "Why should I listen to you, Ranma!?" Ryoga winches in pain as Ranma places his hands over Ryoga's head as his hands glowed green and Ranma says, plainly, "I'm healing your wounds." Within a few moments, Ryoga's wounds from Ranma's Taijutsu technique had vanished.

Nabiki says, surprised, "Whoa! What do you know!? He did it!"

Mousse says, with a smile, "Of course, like Sakura and Ino, me, Ukyo, Hotaru, and Ranma were trained under Lady Tsunade and four of her best students. We even learned Lady Tsunade's super-strength technique."

Nabiki says, stunned, "Super-strength technique!"

Ranma says, with a sly grin, "That's right! It's similar to Hotaru own super-strength technique, but her arms don't get slightly big without her weight-bands and with her Juraian strength, she's hundred times stronger than she was before we left Nermia."

Ranma takes his hands away from Ryoga as both of them got to their feet and Ryoga looks over himself. Ryoga says, surprised, "Wow! I'm all better now! How did you do that!?"

Ranma says, in a plain tone, "Another one of my tricks that I've learned as a Leaf Shinobi."

Ryoga grabs Ranma by the collar with both hands and he says, seriously, "New tricks, huh?! Well, while you were learning new tricks, Akane was…!"

Ranma says, interrupting him, "Akane had enough time to get over what happened by blaming me for your curse!"

Ryoga yells out, seriously, "Ranma, you know that's not true! Sure, I blame you for my curse, but Akane doesn't!"

Ranma yells out, nastily, "Bullshit! Now, let go of me!"

Ryoga says, seriously, "I'm not letting go, if you promise that you'll come back to Nermia."

Ranma yells out, strongly, "Fuck you, I ain't going back there! I'm perfectly fine where I am and besides, I'm on a mission here!"

Ryoga lets go of Ranma and he says, perplexed, "A mission?"

Kakashi says, in a plain tone, "We're here to help with a little problem that has occurred here. I'm sure that you've heard about the Society of Light."

Ryoga says, plainly, "Who hasn't!? In my travels, I've heard about them! They're these weird guys that have a weird obsession of the color, white, turned the Obelisk Blue dorm to a 'White Dorm', and causing a lot of trouble so far here."

Sakura says, in a dark serious tone, "You're right! Those white dorks are the main source of our headaches so far!"

Nabiki says, in a dark plain tone, "Yeah, they've brainwashed me and Akane too! It was that white dork version of Chazz that dueled both me and Akane at the same time and we lost. I've been freed, but Akane is still with those white dweebs!"

Ryoga says, with a nod, "I know! I saw met up with them earlier at the hot springs! Akane wasn't too happy to see me at all."

Nabiki says, in a snort, "I'm not surprised since she's still pissed off at you."

Ryoga says, seriously, "Then, why are we still standing here! Let's find get her back!"

Nodoka says, in a serious tone, "It's not that easy! Even though, we got people like Yusuke Urameshi, Inuyasha, Jaden Yuki, Kagome, and Ranma, getting back Akane isn't going to be easy with people since Mihoshi Kuramitsu may have weapons that would be made especially for those with spiritual, demonic, and Juraian powers, not to mention there are two ninjas, along with another one with ninja training, under Sartorius' control."

Ryoga yells out, shocked, "Yusuke Urameshi is here!"

Ranma says, in a dark plain tone, "Yeah and also, if you're planning on freeing Akane by yourself, then you'll be walking into their hands, since they may brainwash you into their ranks with those white fakes of my friends, Choji Akimichi and Temari, along with Alexis Rhodes."

Nabiki tells Ranma, in a dark plain tone, "Actually, those white dorks are planning on killing Ryoga for what he did to Akane a year ago with that 'P-chan incident'. When they find out that Ryoga is here, then they'll try to kill them and not even Ryoga's skills will be a match for the ninjas that are with that freak."

Just then, Hotaru's voice calls out, "Hey P-chan, long time no see!?" Everyone turns to see Naruto, Sasuke, Hotaru, and Ukyo appearing in the scene with their ninja speed while Inuyasha falls from the trees.

Ranma says, with a smile, "Hey guys!"

Ryoga exclaims, looking at Hotaru and Inuyasha, "Hotaru!? Inuyasha!? Is that you two!?"

Hotaru says, with a sly smile, "What do you think, Pervert-chan?"

Ryoga yells out, annoyed, "Only you would ever annoy me by calling me that!?"

Naruto asks Hotaru, curiously, "Why do you call him 'Pervert-chan' or 'P-chan'?"

Inuyasha says, in plain tone, "P stands for Pig or Pervert which Melody and I call him since he used his Jusenkyo curse to either sleep with Akane or watch her change from what Akane told me, Kagome, and Melody after Ranma left and '-chan' means little."

Ryoga looks at Ukyo and he asks, while looking at her spatula, "Ukyo!? Is that you!?"

Ukyo says, with a sly smile, "Long time no see, Ryoga!"

Ryoga asks, curiously, "Since when did you wear feminine clothes? I can understand the new 'Goth' looks, but this!? Last time, you wore feminine clothes to attach Ranma to you, but since your were adopted by Missus Saotome, what happened!?"

Ukyo says, with a smile, "Let's just say that I've regained most of my femininity that was destroyed thanks to Genma."

Sakura says, in a serious tone, "We know all about what Genma Saotome has done to Ukyo over the years and once we see him, he's going to regret ever doing that to our friends!"

Inuyasha asks Ryoga, curiously, "By the way, pervert, why are you even here, anyways?"

Ryoga says, seriously, "First of all, stop calling me a pervert and second of all, I came here for the GX Tournament."

Hotaru says, perplexed, "You're here for the tournament."

Ryoga gets out a GX metal from his pocket and he says, seriously, "That's right! I was planning on winning the tournament since I heard that the winner gets a wish that's within reason, so I'll get my own private investigation team to find Ranma and drag him back to Akane."

Hotaru says, with a sly smile, "With your sense of direction, why don't you just have them get a helicopter to help you get to the location where my brother and us were? You get lost even in your backyard!"

Ryoga yells at Hotaru, annoyed, "Shut up, Hotaru!"

Ranma says, in a serious tone, "It would be a waste of time, since there's no way in Hell am I going back to the Tendo dojo! I left that fiancée nonsense when I left Nermia and became a Leaf Village Shinobi and besides, you remember that Akane hates me! I heard her voice not to mention those other times that Akane got mad at me for no damn reason."

Ryoga yells out, annoyed, "No reason!? Listen, here…!"

Mousse tells Ryoga, seriously, "Ryoga, I think you should stop talking about the past! Also, you're wasting your breath, since there's no way that Ranma would agree to go back."

Ryoga looks at Mousse with disbelief and he says, "Mousse, you're actually defending him!"

Mousse says, in a serious tone, "That's right! Over the year, Ranma and I have been friends since he's helping me win Shampoo's heart and Ranma is a fellow Leaf Shinobi like me, so I have to stick up for him."

Ryoga asks, curiously, "But aren't you from the Joketsuzoku village?"

Mousse says, adjusting his glasses, "Yes, however, the Hokage of the village trained me, no matter where I'm from, I'll always be a Leaf Shinobi and the same for Ranma too."

Ryoga had a perplexed look on his face and then Washu's voice calls out, "Hey guys!" Everyone turns to see Washu walking towards them with a wide smile on her lips, along with Keiko, Hilary, Kenny, Heero, and Bastion.

Washu says, with a sly smile, "You're not going to believe this, but we managed to buy out at least forty percent of the Princeton Corporation with those Society Jerks noticing it."

Naruto says, with a dark sly smile, "Alright! I can't wait to see the looks on those geeks faces when they find out that they've been tricked!"

Ranma tells Ryoga, in a dark plain tone, "You know, Ryoga, you can embrace the darkness in order to save Akane. Maybe if you do that, she'll probably forgive you and you two can…"

Ryoga says, seriously and interrupting Ranma, "I already told you, Ranma. I don't love Akane anymore, I only care about her deeply, besides, I've got Akari now and we love each other. However, I think that you made a mistake about…"

Ranma says, in a cool tone, "I made no mistake leaving Nermia! Now, I'll appreciate it if you don't speak about the past."

Ryoga says, seriously, "Hey, you don't…!"

Kakashi says, in a deadly serious tone, "I think that you've said enough, Ryoga! Ranma is a fellow Leaf Shinobi and we will not hesitate strike down those who are causing our own anymore grief."

Ryoga was taken back at this as he sees the deadly glares of Hotaru, Naruto, Sakura, Sasuke, and the other Leaf Village ninja pointing directly at him.

Naruto says, in a plain tone, "You really want to push us, pal."

Sakura says, in a deadly serious tone, "We were told stories about you from Hotaru and Kagome and believe me, if you cause Ranma anymore grief, you'll regret it."

Hotaru says, in a serious tone, "And even with your skills, you don't stand a chance against us."

After giving up, Ryoga says, with a disappointing sigh, "Okay, you win." Ryoga thinks in his mind, seriously, "With Hotaru's increased strength as well as Ranma's increased skill, there's no way that I could talk or beat any scene into him. So, I'll give up…for now."

(The next day; Somewhere on Duel Academy)

The following morning, we find our heroes and heroines back to work as usual as come up to a Shadow Duel between Chazz Princeton and three male SOL members. They are hovering over a lake filled with pitch black electrical eels, known as Shadow Eels, obviously, which shock the duelists every time that they lose life-points. Chazz has currently has 3750 life-points, his Deck Master is WVXYZ Dragon Catapult Cannon (3000/2500), which is by his right side, he has Armed Dragon LV10 (3000/2000) on the field in attack mode with three face-down cards, and he is giving a wide dark sly smirk on his lips, looking just fine. While his opponents, the three male SOL members aren't as good since they only have 1400 life-points remaining each. The first one has Kaiser Sea Horse (1700/1650) as his Deck Master, one Gilford the Legend (2800/2000) on the field in attack mode, and no face-down cards. The second male SOL member has Masked Dragon (1400/1100) as his Deck Master, one Luster Dragon (1900/1200) on the field in defense mode, and one face-down card. The final male SOL member has Nightmare Penguin (900/1800) as his Deck Master, one Amphibian Beast (2400/2000-2600/2000), and one face-down card on his field. On the sidelines, we find Jaden, Syrus, Ryuko, Jasmine, Mindy, Zane, Hassleberry, Hikari, Yusuke, Keiko, Kira, Yukina, Hiei, Kuwabara, and Kurama on the sidelines.

It is Chazz's turn as he draws one card and he says, with a dark sly grin and his usual snobbish tone, "And they said I couldn't take three of you dweebs at once! Now, it is time to…!!"

Yusuke, Hikari, Jaden, Syrus, Jasmine, and Mindy yell out in unison, "Chazz It Up!"

Chazz yells out, in a dark excited tone, "Oh, yeah!" Chazz looks at the card that he drew, his dark sly grin becomes wider, and he states, darkly, "Hey, dorks, get ready to be really Chazzed!" Chazz discards his Ojamagic spell card to the graveyard and yells out, "Now, I discard one card from my hand and activate my Armed Dragon's special ability! Now, all of your monsters are goners!"

The second male SOL pushes a button on his duel disk and calls out, coldly, "I don't think so, traitor! I play my trap! Divine Wrath!" The second male SOL member's face-down card proves to be Divine Wrath trap card and he yells out, discarding one card from his hand, "Sorry, but this card allows me to negate your monster's ability and destroy it as long as I discard one card from my hand! I knew that you couldn't stop destiny, Chazz!"

Chazz calls out, in a dark annoyed tone while pushing a button on his duel disk, "You know, punk, I am rather getting tried of that tried old saying! So, you can take your 'Master's destiny' and stuff down your ass! I play my trap! It is known as Counter Counter!" Chazz's face-down card is the Counter Counter trap card and Chazz says, with a dark sly grin, "And since your trap is a Counter trap card, my trap negates its effect! Too bad!"

The second male SOL member yells out, horrified, "No way!" His Divine Wrath trap card is destroyed and Chazz's Armed Dragon LV10 sends out a shockwave that destroys all of the SOL members' monsters!

Chazz then says, with a dark sly grin, "And plus, since that was Ojamagic that I discarded, the three Stooges get to come out! Get out here!" Three cards come out of Chazz's deck, they are revealed to be Ojama Black (0/1000), Ojama Yellow (0/1000), and Ojama Green (0/1000) monster cards, and the three spirits of those monsters appear.

The Ojama brother says in unison, "You called boss?!"

Chazz puts one more card in the spell/trap slots and yells out, "Next, I play my Polymerization spell card! Okay, Ojamas, time to get to work!"

"Let's rock!" the three monster say in unison as they go into a fusion vortex.

Chazz calls out, "Meet Ojama King!" Soon after, Ojama King (0/3000) comes to the field in attack mode. Chazz puts one more card in the spell/trap slots and calls out, with a dark sly grin, "Next, I play my Shield Attack Equip spell! Now, my Ojama King has his attack and defense points switched!"

Ojama King gets well-developed muscular frame and he says, seriously, "Oh, yeah! Now, this is more like it!" Ojama King's stats switch from 0/3000 to 3000/0!

Chazz pushes a button on his duel disk and calls out, darkly, "Next, I play my Double Attack spell card!" Chazz's next face-down card is revealed to be the Double Attack spell card, he displays the last card in his hand, Ultimate Obedient Fiend (3500/3000) monster card, discards it to his graveyard, and calls out, with a dark sly grin, "Now, by discarding one monster card in my hand, I can have a monster that's equal or less in level attack twice in one turn! And since my Fiend had ten stars, my Armed Dragon gets to attack two times in a row!"

The third male SOL member thinks in his mind, coldly, "Let's see how confident he is when I use my Mirror Force trap card on him to destroy all of his monsters! That traitor will learn what it means to betray the Light and Master Sartorius!"

Chazz pushes a button on his duel disk and calls out, darkly, "And by the way, dweeb, if you think that face-down card will save you! Think again! I play my trap card! Darkness Veil!" Chazz's final face-down card is revealed to be the Darkness Veil trap card that combines with Armed Dragon LV10 causes it to become pitch black with red glowing eyes. Chazz says, with a dark sly grin, "Thanks to this, all spell and trap cards on your side of the field are negated and destroyed and you lose four hundred life-points per card!"

The first SOL member yells out, horrified, "Oh no!"

Chazz yells out, darkly, "Now, Armed Dragon, take out dork number one! Darkness Gravity Bomb!" Armed Dragon LV10 fires a sphere of pitch black energy at the first male SOL member, it slams into him, and he yells out in extreme pain as he hit directly while the face-down card of the third SOL member is destroyed. The first SOL member yells out in extreme pain as he is shocked from head to toe as he loses 3000 life-points while the third SOL member yells out in pain as he is shocked by dark electric energy as he loses 400 life-points. Chazz calls out, darkly, "Next, dork number two, Armed Dragon! Crush that dweeb flat!" Armed Dragon launches the same attack on the second SOL member causing him to yell out in pain as he is hit and as he is shocked by dark electric energy while he loses 3000 life-points. Chazz exclaims, darkly, "And for the third dweeb: Ojama King! Crush him with Flying Belly Flop drop!" Ojama King leaps into the sky and goes over to the third SOL member.

Ojama King yells out, in a strong tone, "Incoming!" Ojama King then slams into the SOL member, muffing any cries of pain from him, as he loses 3000 life-points, ending the duel immediately.

Chazz yells out, with a dark sly smile, "You go bye-bye!"

Final Score:

Chazz: 3750

Three SOL members: 0 X 3

Syrus says, winching in pain, "Getting crushed with all that Ojama muscle..."

Keiko nods her head and finishes for Syrus, "Yep! That has to hurt, Sy!"

(During that same day; on another part of Academy Island)

In another area of Academy Island, we find Ryuko Lyon dueling against a female SOL member with light blond hair that goes slightly past her shoulder and light blue eyes. Currently, Ryuko has 2500 life-points, she has Ice Knight (1300/1200) as her Deck Master and one Water Dragon (2800/2000-3200/2000) in attack mode with two face-down cards while her opponent only has 1200 life-points, Jinzo (2400/1500) as her Deck Master, and she has one Guardian Angel Joan (2800/2000) on the field in attack mode with no face-down cards. On the sidelines, Syrus, Bastion, Orihime, Tyson, Hilary, and Tiara are watching. The two duelists have four lightning rods surround them that shock them with dark electric energy as they lose life-points.

Syrus calls out, in a dark excited tone, "Go Rye-chan!"

Ryuko draws one card from her deck and calls out, darkly, "My move!" Ryuko then displays a spell card with a picture to the one found on Machine Angel Ritual, but there is water instead of flames coming out of the pyre and the woman is wearing a light blue dress, and she yells out, with a dark serious tone, "Now, I play my Sea Angel Ritual! I sacrifice my Water Dragon to summon this!" Water Dragon vanishes from the field, Ryuko puts a card in her hand on her duel disk, and she calls out, "My Sea Angel Dakini!" Soon after, Sea Angel Dakini (2700/2400), a monster that looks similar to Cyber Angel Dakini, but it has light blue clothing with a dark blue bodysuit with dark blue colored weapons, comes to the field in attack mode.

Bastion says, amazed, "That's new!"

Orihime says, awe-struck, "That's one amazing monster! It looks so pretty!"

Syrus says, with a dark smile, "I know! That's why I brought for her while we were in Domino and it has bite!"

Ryuko tells the female SOL members, darkly, "My boyfriend is right you know! My monster forces you to choose a monster for my Dakini to destroy, but since you have only one…!!"

The female SOL member yells out, stunned, "Oh no!" Sea Angel Dakini fires a water blast from her right hand and washes Guardian Angel Joan away.

Ryuko calls out, with a dark serious tone, "Plus, my Deck Master gives her a four attack point boost since his Deck Master ability gives all Water monsters an extra four hundred attack points!" Ice Angel Dakini's stats rise from 2700/2400 to 3100/2400!

The female SOL member calls out, horrified, "No! I can't lose! Destiny is on my side!"

Ryuko yells out, with a dark strong tone, "Dakini, give this peon what I feel about her rotten 'Master's destiny'! Attack with Sea Lance Slash!" Sea Angel Dakini slashes the female SOL member in the chest and she yells out in pain as she is cut, but yells out in extreme pain as she shocked by dark electric energy as she loses 3100 life-points, ending the duel immediately.

Final Score:

Ryuko: 2500

Female SOL member: 0

With the end of the duel, the female SOL member goes into unconsciousness on her stomach and the dueling holograms along with lightning rods fade away.

Syrus yells out, in a dark excited tone, "That was great, Rye-chan!"

Bastion tells Ryuko, with a dark logical tone, "Yes! You showed that Society Punk who was the better woman!"

Ryuko tells Bastion, with a dark sly smile, "Thank you, Bastion."

Bastion says, with a dark plain tone, "Well, we had better get her healed."

Orihime says, curiously, "I hope that the others are doing okay."

Bastion says, with a dark serious and logical tone, "With the Darkness of Salvation, the Millennium Items, and the Shadow Charms on our side along with the Wicked God cards, copies of the Sacred Beast cards, and the Egyptian God cards, it is most likely to assume that…they are kicking dork butt!"

Tyson says, with a dark sly grin, "If that's the logical assumption, I'm going to agree with you, Bastion!"

(Sometime later; in another portion of Academy Island)

In another portion of Academy Island, we find Naruto and Hinata in a tag-team duel against two SOL members, one male and one female, and so far, Naruto and Hinata have 5000 life-points remaining while the SOL members only have 2000 life-points remaining. Naruto has Tyrant Dragon (2900/2450) as his Deck Master while Hinata is using Harpie Lady 1 (1300/1400) for her Deck Master. Naruto has White Ninja (1500/700) and Ninja Grandmaster Sasuke (1800/1000) in attack mode with no face-down cards while Hinata has a Cyber Harpie (1800/1300-2100/1300) and Harpie's Pet Dragon (2000/2500-2600/2500) and two face-down cards. The SOL members have the male one using a Robotic Knight (1600/1800) with one XYZ Dragon Cannon (2800/2600) in attack mode and the female SOL member has Guardian Angel Joan (2800/2000) as her Deck Master and one Wingweaver (2700/2450) in attack mode with one face-down card. On the sidelines, we find Sasuke, Sakura, Neji, Lee, Shikamaru, Inuyasha, Melody, Kagome, and Mousse watching the duel. The two tag teams are in another Shadow Game with their legs chained to the ground while they are standing on glass panels charged with dark electric energy that shock each tag team as they lose life-points.

Naruto draws one card from his deck and calls out, darkly, "Okay, dweebs, it is my move!" Naruto puts one card in the spell/trap slots and calls out, with a dark sly grin, "First, I play my Fiend's Sanctuary! And I call one Metal Fiend Token to the field!" Soon after, one Metal Fiend Token (0/0) comes to the field in attack mode. Naruto puts one card on his duel disk and calls out, "Next, I sacrifice it along with my two ninja friends to summon my ultimate card! Okay, dorks, meet Kyubi, the Nine-Tailed Fox in attack mode!" Soon after, the Metal Fiend Token and the two monsters vanish in red chakra and they transform into a powerful monster known as Kyubi, the Nine-Tailed Fox (4500/4500) comes to the field in attack mode.

Mousse says, amazed, "Incredible! So, that's the card based on off the infamous Nine-Tailed Fox that lives in Naruto!"

Neji says, with a dark serious tone, "Yes! It is said to have powers that rival the three Egyptian God Cards and only Naruto can control since a bit of the Nine-Tailed Fox's energy lives in that card! Those dorks don't stand a chance against a card of such power!"

The female SOL member thinks in her mind, with a cold sly grin, "Don't count on it, dweeb! When I play my trap card, Negate Attack, we will have one chance to get rid of that beast! Those two can't stop destiny!"

Hinata pushes two buttons on her duel disk and calls out, darkly, "If you think that your face-down card will help, you are wrong! I reveal my face-down cards! Rush Recklessly and Darkness Veil!" Hinata's two face-down cards are revealed to be the Rush Recklessly Quick-Spell card and Darkness Veil trap card and Hinata says, with a dark serious tone, "Thanks to my Rush Recklessly, Naruto's Kyubi will gain seven hundred attack points for this turn and my Darkness Veil will negate and destroy all spell and trap cards on your side of the field when Naruto's Kyubi attack while dealing both of you four hundred points of damage for each one destroyed!"

The two SOL members yell out in unison and disbelief, "No way!" Naruto's Kyubi comes pitch black with powerful glowing red eyes while its stats rise from 4500/4500 to 5200/4500!

Naruto yells out, with a dark sly grin, "Nice work, Hinata! This will end this!"

Hinata blushes from Naruto's comment and she replies, with a nod and a dark smile, "Right!"

Naruto calls out, with a dark serious tone, "Okay, Kyubi, turn that pathetic tin can into scrap iron! Darkness Nine-Tailed Impalement!" Kyubi's nine tails become charged with black and red chakra and he launches his nine-tails at XYZ Dragon Cannon, destroying it along with the female SOL member's face-down card causing the two of them to scream out as they are shocked with dark electric energy as they lose 2600 life-points, ending the duel immediately.

Final Score:

Naruto and Hinata: 5000

Two SOL members: 0

With the end of the duel, the chains, glass panels, and the final dueling holograms fade away as the two former SOL members collapse to the ground on their backs.

Sakura yells out, in a dark excited tone, "Naruto! Hinata! Way to go!"

Neji tells Hinata, with a dark sly smile, "You did well, Hinata. You dueled in perfect unison with Naruto. Your father, Lord Hiashi, would be proud to see how strong you are now."

Hinata replies, with a blush on her cheeks, "Thank you, Neji-kun."

Lee tells Hinata, with a dark sly grin, "You deserve it, Hinata."

Naruto tells Hinata, with a dark sly smile, "You really did great out there, Hinata."

Hinata tells Naruto, with a dark smile, "Thank you, Naruto-kun."

(Sometime soon after; in another area of Academy Island)

Within another area of Academy Island, we find another tag team duel going on between Uryu Ishida partnered with Tenchi Masaki going against two more male SOL members. In this duel, we find Uryu and Tenchi has 6250 life-points left while the two male SOL members only has 3000 life-points remaining. Uryu has Little Chimera (600/500) as his Deck Master with Elemental Hero Shining Phoenix Enforcer (2500/2100-4200/2100) and Infernal Flame Emperor (2700/2400-3200/2400), both monsters in attack mode, with one face-down card. Tenchi, on the meanwhile, has Command Knight (1200/1600) as his Deck Master with Gilford the Legend (2800/2000-4000/2000) equipped with Lightning Blade, Flame Swordsman (1800/1600-2200/1600) and both monsters are in attack mode with one card face-down on Tenchi's field. The first male SOL member has Shining Angel (1400/800) as his Deck Master, one Agent of Creation (1600/0) in defense mode and one Wingweaver (2700/2400) in attack mode, and one face-down card. The second male SOL member has Perfect Machine King (2700/2400) as his Deck Master, one Machine King (2200/2000-3600/2000) and one X-Head Cannon (1800/1500-2800/1500) in attack mode with no face-down cards. They are wearing black metal collars with the golden Millennium Symbol engraved in the center on their necks and upper arms that deliver a powerful dark electric shock when a duelist loses life-points. On the sidelines, we find Ichigo, Orihime, Chad, Ryoko, Sasami, Ayeka, Atticus, Jade, Ranma, Hotaru, Ukyo, and Ryoga, who has a brand new 'dark look' cheering the two of them on.

Ryoga's bandana was still the same as well as his hair color and style, but has red highlights on them. He has a spiked leather choker around his neck, he was wearing a dark brown tunic shirt with pitch black Martial Arts pants, and black shoes.

On the meanwhile, Uryu asks, with a dark taunting tone, "Have you dweebs had enough yet?!"

The second SOL member yells out, coldly while trying to hide is wore out state, "Never! Destiny is on our side!"

Tenchi draws one card from his deck and calls out, darkly, "You know, I am getting sick and tried of that phrase! Now, it is my move!" Tenchi puts one card in the spell/trap slots and calls out, "Now, I play my spell card! Allied Forces! As long as this card remains on the field, all Warrior type monsters get a two hundred boost for every Warrior and Spellcaster on the field and I count three so far: Namely, Shining Phoenix Enforcer, Flame Swordsman, and Gilford!" Tenchi puts one card on his duel disk and calls out, darkly, "But I'm not done, yet, dweebs! Rise, Rocket Warrior!" Soon after, Rocket Warrior (1500/1300) comes to the field in attack mode. Tenchi then says, with a dark sly grin, "And now, that's four warriors on the field!" Shining Phoenix Enforcer's stats rise from 4200/2100 to 5000/2100, Gilford's stats rise from 4000/2000 to 4800/2000, Flame Swordsman's stats rise from 2200/1600 to 3000/1600, and Rocket Warrior's stats rise from 1500/1300 to 2700/1300!

The first SOL member thinks in his mind, coldly, "Ha! Let's see that nonbeliever try anything with my Mirror Force trap card!"

Tenchi puts one card in the spell/trap slots and calls out, darkly, "Next, I play my Mystical Space Typhoon to destroy that face-down! Too bad!"

The first SOL member calls out, horrified, "Oh no!" Just then a huge wind tornado destroys the first SOL member's face-down card.

Uryu pushes a button on his duel disk and calls out, "Next, I play my trap card! One-on-One Fight!" Uryu's face-down card is to be revealed to be the One-on-One Fight trap card and Uryu yells out, darkly, "Now, our strongest monsters are forced to battle each other! That means my Shining Phoenix Enforcer against your pathetic Machine King!" Machine King then moves in to attack Shining Phoenix Enforcer.

Tenchi then pushes a button on his duel disk and calls out, with a dark sly grin, "Finally, I play my trap card! Covering Fire!" Tenchi's face-down card is revealed to be the Covering Fire trap card and he says, with a dark sly grin, "This card activates when your pathetic monsters attack our monsters and this card allows me to boost the power of Uryu's Shining Phoenix Enforcer by the attack points of one monster on the field and I choose my Gilford!"

The two SOL member yells out, in horror, "Oh no!" Shining Phoenix Enforcer's stats rise from 5000/2100 to 9800/2100!

Uryu then says, with a dark sly grin, "Great! Thanks, Tenchi! Now, it is time to end this! Squash that dork's rust bucket flat, Phoenix Enforcer!" Shining Phoenix Enforcer counterattacks, slices Machine King in half, and the two SOL member yells out in extreme pain as they are shocked from head to toe with dark electric energy as they lose 6200 life-points, ending the duel immediately.

Final Score:

Tenchi and Uryu: 6250

Two male SOL members: 0

With the end of the duel, the holograms and the shackles that all four duelists wearing fade away and the two SOL collapses collapse to the ground on their stomachs.

Orihime yells out, in a dark excited tone, "Way to go, Uryu!"

Sasami says, with a dark smile, "You did it! Those rotten dorks didn't know what hit them!"

Ayeka tells them, with a dark smile, "Indeed. Well done, both of you."

Ryoko says, with a dark sly grin, "For once, princess, we can agree on something."

Ukyo asks Ranma, with a curious tone, "I wonder how Yusuke and the others are doing. Do you think that they are doing as well as us?"

Ranma tells Ukyo, with a dark sly smile, "Don't worry, sis. With a duelists like Yusuke, Jaden, Tyson, Lena, Naruto, and others, I doubt these dweebs are standing much chance out there!"

Ryoga tells Ranma, with a dark sly smile, "For once I agree with you, Ranma! These white dorks don't stand a chance against us!"

(At another part of Academy Island; Sometime later)

Elsewhere, we find Ayumi starting a duel with a male SOL member with black spiky hair and green eyes with Bastion, Yusuke, Jaden, Kagome, Lena, Tyson, Mina, and Kino watching.

Ayumi says, with a dark sly smile, "Get ready to lose, dork!"

The male SOL member says, in a cold strong tone, "You wish, nonbeliever! I heard that you nonbelievers are playing with that 'Deck Master' and I've got mine…Cyber Dragon!" Cyber Dragon (2100/1600) appears on the right of the male SOL member.

Ayumi takes out a card from her deck and she calls out, darkly, "And I've got mine, Kycoo the Ghost Destroyer!" Kycoo the Ghost Destroyer (1800/700) appears on the right of Ayumi. Ayumi and the SOL member drew five cards.

"Game on!" Ayumi and the male SOL member yell out in unison

Starting Score:

Ayumi: 4000

Male SOL member: 4000

Ayumi says, with a dark sly smile and a dark nasty tone, "By the way…loser's first!"

The male SOL member draws his card and he yells out, in a cold serious tone, "You'll pay for that!" The male SOL member puts a card into the spell/trap slot and he says, "First, I activate Reinforcement of the Army!" The male SOL member takes out his deck and he says, in a cold plain tone, "I get to pick a Warrior-type monster with four stars or less from my deck!" The male SOL member picks out a card, puts it in his hand, reshuffles his deck, puts it back to his duel disk, puts the card onto his duel disk, and he calls out, "Now, I summon Marauding Captain!" Soon after, Marauding Captain (1200/400) appears on the field in attack mode. The male SOL member says, putting another card onto his duel disk, "Then, I'll play his special ability! When he's summoned, I can summon a level four monster from my hand and I choose my Mataza the Zapper!" Soon after, Mataza the Zapper (1300/800) comes next to Marauding Captain in attack mode. The male SOL member sends two more cards into the spell/trap slots and he says, in a cold plain tone, "Finally, I'll place two face-downs and end my turn!"

Ayumi draws one card from her deck and she says, with a dark sly grin, "Before we begin, let's take this duel to the next level, shall we?" Just then the whole field becomes covered in black and dark violet fog and the male SOL member gasps in shock.

The male SOL member yells out, stunned, "Not another of these damn Shadow Games!"

Ayumi says, with a dark sly grin, "No duh, asshole! This is another Shadow Game and you're going to experience first hand!" Just then the dueling platform turns into glass panels and black spiked cage surrounds the two of them.

The male SOL member calls out, stunned, "What in the world is this?!"

Ayumi replies, with a dark sly tone, "Let me dumb this down to Society Dork-anise, dweeb: This Shadow Cage will prevent the both of us from leaving until this duel is over and these glass panels are called 'Shadow Shockers'! Nice name, huh? But you won't think so when they get to work because every time that we lose life-points, we get a nasty shock from them!"

The male SOL member yells out, shocked, "You nonbelievers have gone insane!"

Ayumi says, in a dark nasty tone, "Oh no, this is payback for…I don't know…brainwashing my two best friends!" Ayumi says, putting one card in the spell/trap slot and with a dark sly tone, "I play Pot of Greed and draw two more cards from my deck!" Ayumi draws two more cards from her deck, Ayumi puts one card in the spell/trap slots, and calls out, "Next, I play my Lightning Vortex card! By sending one card from my hand, I can send all of your pathetic warriors to Kingdom Come!" Just then, a huge lightning bolt comes and destroys all of the male SOL member's warriors and Ayumi discards a card from her hand. Ayumi puts one card on her duel disk and calls out, darkly, "Next, I play this! My Solar Flare Dragon!" Soon after, Solar Flare Dragon (1500/1000) appears on the field in attack mode.

The male SOL member thinks in his mind, with a cold sly smile, "Once she attacks, I'll have both my Sakuretsu Armor and Negate Attack ready!"

Ayumi says, with a dark sly smile while putting another card into the spell/trap slot, "Since I'm a little wary out those face-down cards of yours, I'm going to activate Level Limit-Area B! As long as this card stays on the field, all monsters higher than level three go to defense mode!" Soon after, Solar Flare Dragon switches to defense mode and Ayumi says, in a dark plain tone, "I'll end my turn and since my turn has ended, my dragon hits you for five hundred points!" The male SOL member gasps in shock as Solar Flare Dragon fires a sphere of flames that slams into his chest and he cries out in pain as his chest is burned, but then he yells out in pain as he is shocked while losing 500 life-points.

Current Score:

Ayumi: 4000

Male SOL member: 3500

The male SOL member draws one card from his deck and he says, weakly, "That won't stop me." The male SOL member puts one card onto his duel disk and he says, "I summon Warrior Lady of the Wasteland in defense mode and end my turn!" Soon after, Warrior Lady of the Wasteland (1100/1200) comes to the field in defense mode.

Ayumi draws two more cards from her deck, puts one card onto her duel disk, and calls out, darkly, "I summon another Solar Flare Dragon in defense mode!" Soon after, a second Solar Flare Dragon (1500/1000) appears onto the field in defense mode. Ayumi says, with a dark sly smile, "And since, I have two Solar Flare Dragons out, you lose one thousand life points!" The two Solar Flare Dragons fire more spheres of flames at the male SOL member and he cries out in pain as he is burned, but then he yells out in pain as he is shocked while losing 1000 life-points.

Current Score:

Ayumi: 4000

Male SOL member: 2500

When the shocking stops, the male SOL member falls on his knees, gasping in pain.

Yusuke says, with a dark sly smile, "Hey guys, do you know what's going on here!?"

Tyson says, with a dark nasty smirk, "I know! One Society dog on his knees!"

The male SOL member slowly gets onto his feet and he says, weakly, "I'm not going to quit! You're coming into the Light!"

Ayumi says, with a dark sly smile, "Like to see you try, white mutt! As long as my Solar Flare Dragons are out, you can't attack them!"

The male SOL member draws his card and he says, in a cold serious tone, "We'll see!" The male SOL member puts a card onto his duel disk and he calls out, in a cold serious tone, "I summon Obnoxious Celtic Guardian in defense mode and end my turn!"

Ayumi draws her card, puts it in her hand, takes out another one from her hand, puts it onto her duel disk, and calls out, "I summon Raging Flame Sprite in attack mode!" Soon after, Raging Flame Sprite (100/200) comes to the field in attack mode. Ayumi then shouts out, darkly, "Thanks to my sprite's ability, I can then bypass your monsters and attack you directly!"

The male SOL member yells out, shocked, "Say what!?"

Ayumi then shouts out, darkly, "Sprite, show him what I mean!" Raging Flame Sprite fires a fireball at the male SOL member and he yelps out in pain as he is hit and he is shocked while crying out in pain and losing 100 life-points. Ayumi says, with a dark sly smile, "Thanks to another one of my sprite's abilities, he gains stronger by one thousand points!" Raging Flame Sprite's stats increase from 100/200 to 1100/200, Ayumi then sends a card into the spell/trap slot, and she calls out, "Finally, I'll place a face-down and end my turn while my dragons take away one thousand more of your points!" The two dragons fire more spheres of flames at the male SOL member and he cries out in pain as he is burned, but then he yells out in pain as he is shocked while losing 1000 more life-points.

Current Score:

Ayumi: 4000

Male SOL member: 1400

The male SOL member is hurt and weary from the Shadow Duel, but he manages to stay on his feet and calls out, in a cold serious tone, "All right, dork, it is my move now!" The male SOL member draws one card from his deck, puts the card in the spell/trap slots, and yells out, "Now, I play Heavy Storm! It may destroy my own face-downs, but it'll be worth it to attack!" Just then, a huge wind storm comes to the field and destroys the male SOL member's face-down card, Negate Attack and Sakuretsu armor, and Ayumi's face-down card and Level Limit-Area B spell card.

Ayumi says, with a dark sly smile, "Big mistake, dork! My face-down card was Grenade Detonate!" Ayumi displays a trap card that had a picture of a grenade being tossed to an enemy line and she says, with a dark sly smile, "Since you destroy it, all monsters on your side of the field are destroyed!"

The male SOL member yells out, shocked, "Oh come on!" Just then, the male SOL member's warriors were destroyed and Ayumi says, with a dark sly grin, "Thanks to my trap, you lose the number of cards equal to the number of stars of monsters that were destroyed by this card and I count eight cards!"

The male SOL member took eight cards from his deck and takes them to the graveyard. The male SOL member puts a card onto his duel disk and he calls out, coldly, "I summon Blade Knight in attack mode!" Soon after, Blade Knight (1600/1000) appears on the field in attack mode. The male SOL member says, in a cold serious tone, "Thanks it his special ability, he gains four hundred more attack points since I only have one card in my hand!" Blade Knight's stats increase from 1600/1000 to 2000/1000! The male SOL member yells out, in a cold strong tone, "Blade Knight, attack her sprite!" Blade Knight charges towards Raging Flame Sprite, slashes him in half, destroying him while dark lightning hits Ayumi, but she doesn't scream in pain, which unnerves the male SOL member as Ayumi loses 900 life-points.

The male SOL member yells out, in a cold annoyed tone, "You've got to be kidding me! You've got to be feeling that!"

Ayumi says, with a dark sly smile, "Sorry, I don't feel a thing!"

The male SOL member says, in a cold annoyed tone, "Just go!"

Current Score:

Ayumi: 3100

Male SOL member: 1400

The male SOL member thinks in his mind, in a cold serious tone, "I've got only one chance to get rid of dragons! Once I've done that I'll win just like Master Sartorius predicted!"

Ayumi draws her card and she says, with a dark sly smile, "Well, dork, it's been fun, but I think that it's time to end things!"

The male SOL member yells out, coldly, "You lie!"

Ayumi sends a card into the spell/trap slot and she calls out, "Want to bet! I play Soul of Fire! You get to draw one card from your deck, but don't expect that to help, except weaken your knight!" The male SOL member draws a card and Blade Knight's stats were then lowered to 1600/1000, Ayumi takes out her deck and she says, "Now, I get to pick a Pyro-type monster card from my deck! And then you take damage equal to half of its attack points!" The male SOL member gasps in shock, Ayumi takes out one card from her deck, puts her deck back in her duel disk, displays her Infernal Flame Emperor (2700/1600), and she declares, in a dark serious tone, "I remove my good old Flame Emperor from play and you take over thirteen hundred fifty points of damage!" A hologram of Infernal Flame Emperor appears over the male SOL member, it slams his fist into him, and he cries out in extreme pain as he is burned, then screams out in pain as he is shocked by the dark lightning as he loses 1350 life-points in one shot while Ayumi puts the card in her pocket.

Kagome yells out, encouragingly, "Way to go, Ayumi!"

Tyson says, with a dark sly smile, "It's over! Once Ayumi ends her turn, those dragons take away one thousand of that white geek's life-points!"

The male SOL member yells out, in horror, "No! I'm from the Society of Light, I'm not supposed to lose!"

Ayumi says, in a dark strong tone, "Too bad! I end my turn and this duel!" The two dragons fire spheres of flames and the male SOL member yells out in pain as he is burned once and he screams out in pain again as he is electrocuted and loses 1000 points, ending the duel!

Final Score:

Ayumi: 3100

Male SOL member: 0

With the end of the duel, the male SOL member goes into unconsciousness on his back and the dueling holograms along with 'Shadow Shockers' fade away.

Kagome yells out, in a dark excited tone, "That was great, Ayumi!"

Tyson tells Ayumi, with a dark sly smile, "Yeah, you showed that white freak who's boss!"

Ayumi says, with a dark smile, "I did didn't I?"

Yusuke says, with a dark plain tone, "Well, we had better get him healed."

Kagome says, with a dark sly smile, "Although, I just can't wait until we see the looks on those white dorks faces when the find out about our real plan."

Jaden says, with a dark sly smile, "Yeah, I can picture their angry faces now."

(Three days after Bastion and Jordan's 'rescue' from the SOL; In front of the Slifer Red dorm)

Within the front of the Slifer Red dorm, we find Melody and Megumi lying down to male SOL members that they have dueled themselves just awhile back and easily beat, which Melody, Atticus, Kagome, and Jaden had to teach Megumi dueling since she's a 'Chosen Hanyou' like her siblings. Ever since Ryoga Hibiki came to Academy Island and Nabiki Tendo was freed from SOL control, our heroes and heroines have been going into 'overtime' against the SOL by reducing their numbers by one-quarter of their original number. Right now, we find our heroes and heroines going over the number of SOL members taken down.

Ray asks Kenny, curiously, "Hey, Chief, who many of those dorks are gone from that cult?"

Kenny, Bastion, Hilary, Lena, Hotaru, Heero, Uryu, Shikamaru, and Keiko work on the calculations quickly with Washu and Kenny replies, with a nod, "By our calculations, the Society of Light has lost one-quarter of its membership."

Bastion nods his head and replies, "Yes. Keiko, Kenny, Lena, Hotaru, Uryu, Heero, Shikamaru, and I most certainly agree on that." The smart members within our heroes and heroines nod their head in unison to agree with Bastion.

Ichigo says, with a dark sly smile, "That's good. And all of the students that we freed have been brought to our side in the Shadow Council."

Ranma says, with a dark sly grin, "Yeah! The weaker those dorks become, the stronger that we get!"

Hikari says, with a dark sly smile, "Yes, those fucking geeks and their 'Master' must be wondering what to do right now. Man! I wish I could see their dorky faces."

Yusuke asks Hikari, with a dark sly tone, "Why do you want to do that? I bet there is nothing much to look at except their dorky faces that are as pale as their dorky uniforms. So, why waste the time?"

Jaden says, with a dark smile on his lips, "Good point, Yusuke. These dweebs are nothing much to look at in the first place, besides, we'll have the last laugh once we place our 'secret weapon' into action."

Chazz thinks in his mind, with a dark sly smile, "You know, I'm really starting to like the Slacker and his dorky friends' new attitudes!"

Sasuke asks, with a dark plain tone, "So, what should we do today?"

Just then, Yusuke's, Hikari's, Kagome's, Heero's, and Ayeka's PDAs ring at the same time. When they activate them, Chancellor Sheppard's face comes onto the screen with a worried expression on his face.

Hikari asks, curiously, "What's up, Chancellor Sheppard?"

Chancellor Sheppard says, solemnly and worriedly, "Y-You need to come into my office right away, Miss Urameshi. Bring your siblings and all of your friends with you. There is something that you need to know immediately."

Ayeka asks Chancellor Sheppard, curiously, "Is there a problem, Chancellor Sheppard?"

Chancellor Sheppard replies, solemnly, "You need to see for yourself, Miss Jurai." Soon after, Yusuke's, Hikari's, Kagome's, Heero's, and Ayeka's the screens on PDA turn to static.

Kagome says, with a dark serious tone, "I don't like this."

Ukyo nods her head and says, with a dark plain tone, "Same here, Kagome. I smell a rat."

Ryoga says, with a dark serious tone, "Or like a group of them? Namely wearing white wearing freaks that are dogs to 'destiny obsessed' freak of nature."

Ranma says, with a dark sly smile, "Nice description, Ryoga."

Hotaru says, with a dark smile, "I'll say, P-chan."

Ryoga yells out, annoyed, "Shut it!"

Zane says, with a dark plain tone, "We had better go see what Sheppard wants and I know that it isn't good for us!"

Hikari says, with a dark serious tone, "I agree. It looks like dorks might have revealed their next damn plot!"

Yusuke says, with a dark serious tone, "Well, what are we waiting for?! Let's go find out what it is and let's mess it up in their faces!"

Keiko says, with a dark sly smile, "I'm with you, Yusuke!"

Ryoko says, with a dark serious tone, "Well, let's go already!" Soon after, the group of heroes and heroines headed for the main building of Duel Academy and Chancellor Sheppard's office where they feel the next plot of the Society of Light is about to revealed to them.

(Within Chancellor Sheppard's office; Sometime soon after)

Inside of Chancellor Sheppard's office, our heroes and heroines gasp to find Chazz's brothers, in their new white business suits, with Alexis, Akane, Keigo, Temari, and Tatsuki, assembled in front of Chancellor Sheppard's desk. However, our heroes and heroines had a few guesses why Chazz's brothers were here, so they decided to play dumb.

Chazz yells out, with a dark angered tone, "What are you fucking scrubs doing around here?!"

Jagger tells Chazz, with a cold taunting tone, "What's the matter Chazz? Aren't you happy to see your brothers here?"

Chazz retorts, with a dark angered tone, "Like I miss an ulcer. Now, what are you scrubs up to this time?"

Slade says, with a cold sly tone, "What do you think Chazz? We were thinking of taking down Duel Academy and fulfilling our plan for world domination."

Jagger says, with a cold smile, "That's before Master Sartorius showed us the wonders of the Light and we decided to change our objectives, especially finding out that you and your Slacker friends were causing the Society of Light so much trouble."

Chazz replies, with a dark nasty tone, "First of all, these Slackers are not my friends! They are associates and allies, nothing more!"

Mousse states, surprised, "Say what?!"

Keiko says, with a sigh, "That's typical Chazz for you."

Chazz yells out, with a dark serious tone, "And two, those rotten white dorks deserved for all the problems of using Chazz Princeton like a little puppet and all of the trouble that they been causing the school! So, if you are with them and helping with those dorks with their plans, prepare for a major smack down!"

Alexis says, with a cold sly grin, "Don't count on it, traitor!"

Yusuke replies, with dark nasty tone, "Why not, wench?!"

Slade says, with a cold sly smile, "Nice to see you again, Yusuke Urameshi, you're looking pathetic."

Hikari yells out, in a dark angered tone, "Watch you say about my brother asshole or else!"

Jagger tells Hikari, with a cold sly grin, "I wouldn't try anything unless you want something to happen to Duel Academy's current staff."

Ichigo yells out, darkly, "Is that a threat?!"

Slade says, with a cold smile, "It's a promise, punk! Since the Society of Light owes Duel Academy!"

Our heroes and heroines gasp in shock and they yell out in unison, "What?!"

Jade yells out, darkly, "That's a lie! You are trying to trick us!"

Kagome says, with a dark serious tone, "And it is a lame trick, you know."

Chancellor Sheppard says, with a sigh and solemn tone, "I'm afraid that it is no trick. Most of the stock of Duel Academy is in the Society of Light's control."

Tiara calls out, shocked, "Are you serious?!"

Chancellor Sheppard takes out a file and holds it toward Hikari, saying, "Take a look at this." Hikari goes over to Chancellor Sheppard while the others keep an eye on the Society members, takes the files, goes back to her friends and allies, and opens the file with all of her friends and allies assembled.

Hotaru, Lena, Shikamaru, Kenny, Bastion, and Keiko gasp in shock and Bastion yells out, horrified, "Great Scott! Most of the interest and stock in Duel Academy is mainly owed by the Princeton Corporation!"

Kenny says, stunned, "And that means Duel Academy is mainly under their control!"

Jagger says, with a cold sly grin, "And since we're in the Society of Light, it means that we control the school!"

Slade says, with a cold smile, "Yes! And if you try anything stupid, Chancellor Sheppard and the others here might be out of a job!"

Ukyo yells out, in a dark angered tone while activating her Byakugan, "Why you?!" She prepares to charge them with her Gentle Fists, but Hikari stops her.

Hikari calls out, with a dark serious tone, "Ukyo, no! We can't give them a damn reason!"

Slade says, with a cold plain tone, "There is one way that you can stop this!"

Kagome asks, with a dark suspicious tone, "And how mind you?"

Jagger says, with a cold sly tone, "Simple! The 'Chosen Hanyous', Inuyasha, Melody, and their sister, Megumi, and the 'Chosen Duelists' agrees to surrender unconditionally to us!"

Plenty of our heroes and heroines gasp in shock and the same amount of them yell out in unison, "What?!"

Ryoga yells out, shocked, "Surrender!"

Yusuke yells out, in a dark angered tone, "I don't think so!"

Tyson says, in a dark deadly serious tone, "That's right! Like hell, we'll join you!"

Slade says, with a cold sly smile, "I think that you had better watch what you say, Mister Granger, or else Chancellor Sheppard might get the 'pink slip' unexpectedly."

Naruto yells out, with a dark angered tone, "You wouldn't dare!"

Chazz says, with a dark annoyed tone, "Yes, they would, dork! So, you and the others better shut up or these scrubs will make Chancellor Sheppard and the other staff goes 'bye-bye'!"

Jagger says, with a dark sly grin, "Better listen to our 'little brother', nonbelievers! That's some good advice!"

Just then a ringing is heard from Alexis's PDA is heard and when she answers it, Alexis says, seriously, "Yes?!"

A male voice from the other end yells out, with a shocked tone, "Alexis, terrible news! The Princeton Corporation has been bought over!"

Everyone gasp in shock and Jagger yells out, stunned, "What?!" Everyone takes out their PDA and images come onto the screen.

Slade yells out, stunned, "But how?! Over Fifty-One percent of our company under someone else's control! Who is responsible for this?!" Just then, our 'darkened' heroes and heroines snicker at this, which got the attention of the SOL members, and the snicker turned into 'dark' laughter, as they gave them cold angered/annoyed glares.

Jagger yells out, in a cold angered tone, "Okay, nonbelievers, what's so funny!?"

Chazz says, with a dark sly smile, "What does it look like, dork!? The jokes on you!"

Kenny says, in a dark serious tone, "If helps when you have 'people' in high places! You see, we knew that you geeks will involve Chazz's brothers into this, so we outsmarted you by making you focused on Duel Academy's stocks, we used our powerful connections in order to buy out your company!"

Chazz says, with a dark sly smile, "And guess who's the new owner of Princeton Corp!?"

Jagger yells out, in a cold annoyed tone, "No! You!"

Chazz says, with a dark sly tone, "That's right, dweeb!"

Akane yells out, in a cold serious tone, "How did you nonbelievers know about our plot!? For all you thought, we could be using them for something else!?"

Nabiki yells out, in a dark nasty tone, "Give me a break, tomboy! It's pretty obvious what lousy snakes would do to get around here!"

Sasuke says, with a dark sly smile, "Sometimes, in order to get a few snakes, you have to think like snakes."

Naruto says, with a dark sly grin, "Only, we managed to outsmart a bunch of stupid white snakes!"

Yusuke says, with a dark sly grin, "So true, Naruto! Nice try, geeks, but you'll have to come up with something else to outsmart us!"

Ichigo says, with a dark sly sneer, "Ha! What's the point, Yusuke!? These white dogs need their 'master's' permission to think or take dump!"

Uryu says, with a dark sly tone, "Nice one, Ichigo!" Just then, our 'darkened' heroes and heroines laugh loudly, enraging the SOL members as they clinch their hands as their knuckles turn white.

Temari yells out, in a cold enraged tone, "This is an outrage!"

Alexis says, in a cold angered tone, "Damn it! We were so close too, but they trapped us!"

Jaden says, with a dark sly tone, "Nice try, geeks, better luck next time!"

Just then Slade rushes at our heroes and heroines and cries out, with a cold angered tone, "Give back our company!" But then Ranma moves in and he yells out, in a dark strong tone, "Kachu Tenshin Amaguriken!" Ranma bashes Slade hard all over his body, throwing him away to the ground.

Jagger yells out, shocked, "Slade!"

Yusuke says, with a dark sly smile, "How pathetic!? Did you geeks actually think that you'd get a one up on us!?"

Chazz yells out, with a dark smile, "However, since I'm such a new guy, I'll give you geeks a chance to outsmart us. If you want Duel Academy back, just have my two dumb brothers meet me and an associate of mine in Obelisk Arena for a tournament duel! If not, I can't say that your Society will be lasting much longer!"

Slade soon gets up and he says, in a cold snarl, "You got it."

(Within Obelisk Arena; Sometime later)

Inside of Obelisk Arena, we find Jagger and Slade Princeton, with duel disk that have dueling decks inside of them attached to their left wrists, walking into the arena where they find Chazz Princeton with a duel disk with a dueling deck inside attached to his left wrist waiting for them with a dark sly grin on his lips, while , our 'darkened' heroes' and heroines' 'former' friends, family, and loved ones enter the arena and find Jaden's and Chazz's friends and allies, our 'darkened' heroes and heroines, sitting in one set of seats in the audience stands.

While the SOL members were going over to the other stands, Kuwabara says, with a dark taunting tone, "Well, if it isn't the white cult dweebs? I thought that you would be showing your faces after we made you look like idiots, again!"

Tatsuki yells out, with a cold angered tone, "What was that, dork?"

Ichigo says, with a dark sly tone, "I hope that you aren't too mad for outsmarting you geeks once again, hussy!"

Tatsuki yells out, in a cold indignant tone, "Hussy!?"

Hilary, who is sitting on Tyson's lap, asks, with a dark sly smile, "Would you prefer 'witch' 'whore' or 'bimbo' instead?"

Tatsuki calls out, with a cold angered tone, "That does it!"

Keigo tells Tatsuki, with a cold serious tone, "Tatsuki, stop! The nonbelievers are just trying to make you fall into their trap!"

Hikari says, with a dark sly tone, "You had better listen to your dorky friend, wench!"

Keiko, who was sitting on Yusuke's lap, says, with a dark sly grin, "Yeah, maybe you wouldn't be so dumb enough to fall for such an easy trap!"

Chazz says, with a dark plain tone, "It's about time, bro."

Jagger asks Chazz, with cold plain tone, "We don't have time for games, Chazz!"

Just then Jaden comes into the open and exclaims, with a dark sly grin, "Actually, it is time to get your games on, boys! We're not going to allowing you to get control of Duel Academy, again! So, move it, dorks, we've got things to go back to!"

Slade says, with a cold sly smile, "The only thing you'll be doing is going to the Society of Light! You must be that little brat, Jaden Yuki! Master Sartorius told us about you, Chosen Duelists!"

Jaden says, with a dark sly smile, "No! The only place where going back is to our friends and the only place that you are dweebs is going is to where all white losers go for good!"

Jagger yells out, stepping forward, "All right, boy, I've had enough of your mouth!" Jagger then leaps onto the stage and Chazz leaps off it.

Chazz tells Jaden, with a dark serious tone, "You had better not lose to his scrub, Jaden!"

Jaden says, with a dark sly grin, "Don't worry, Chazz, this dork is toast!"

Jagger yells out, with a cold sly grin, "We shall see, brat!" Jaden and Jagger activate their duel disks, their life-point counters display 4000 life-points each, and they draw five cards from their decks.

"Game on!" Jagger and Jaden yell out in unison as their duel begins.

Starting Scores:

Jagger: 4000

Jaden: 4000

Jagger draws one card from his deck and calls out, coldly, "I'll go first, brat!" Jagger puts one card on his duel disk and calls out, coldly, "I summon Sangan in defense mode!" Soon after, Sangan (1000/600) comes to the field in defense mode. Jagger puts three cards in the spell/trap slots and calls out, "Now, I play three cards face-down and end my turn!"

Jaden draws one card from his deck and calls out, as the Millennium Symbol appears on his forehead, "That's good because it is time to turn this game up a notch dweeb!" Just then metal shackles and chains come out of the group and lock their feet to the ground.

Jagger yells out, stunned, "What the hell?! I'm stuck!"

Jaden says, with a dark sly grin, "That's right, dork! And you are not moving until this duel is over!" Just then dark violet and black storm clouds appear over the two duelists and Jaden says, with a dark sly grin, "Confused, dork?! Well, let me explain in 'Dorkanese' for you! Every time that we lose life-points, we get shocked!"

Jagger calls out, horrified, "You are insane!"

Jaden puts one card in the spell/trap slots and he says, darkly, "Sticks and stones, white freak! Now, I play Graceful Charity! I draw three cards from my deck and discard two from my hand!" Jaden draws three cards from his deck, discard two cards from his hand, he puts one card in the spell/trap slots, and calls out, darkly, "Now, I play my Ancient Rule spell card! This card allows me to summon one level five or over Normal Monster from my hand!" Jaden puts one card on his duel disk and he calls out, darkly, "My Neos will do nicely!" Soon after, Elemental Hero Neos (2500/2000) comes to the field in attack mode. Jaden puts one more card in the spell/trap slots and he exclaims, "Now, I play my Cocoon Party spell card! For every Neo-Spacian in my graveyard, I get a Chrysalis monster! Since my Flare Scarab and my Dark Panther are in the graveyard thanks to my Graceful Charity, I get to summon two! My Chrysalis Dolphin and My Chrysalis Chicky!" Just then, two cards come out of Jaden's deck, he puts them on his duel disk, and Chrysalis Dolphin (400/600) and Chrysalis Chicky (600/400) comes to the field in attack mode. Jaden puts one card in the spell/trap slots and yells out, darkly, "Now, I play my Contact spell! This card allows me to send my two Chrysalises to the grave and I can summon their Neo-Spacians forms in their place!" The two Chrysalises vanishes from the field, two cards come out of Jaden's deck, he puts them on his duel disk, and Neo-Spacian Aqua Dolphin (600/800) and Neo-Spacian Air Hummingbird (800/600) come to the field in attack mode. Jaden yells out, as the outer space theme appears, "Neos! Hummingbird! Aquos! Triple Contact Fusion!" The three named monsters leap into the sky, they combine in a bright light as Jaden exclaims, with a dark sly smile, "Now, dweeb, meet my newest Elemental Hero! Elemental Hero Storm Neos!" Out of the bright light, Elemental Hero Storm Neos (3000/2500), a humanoid monster with aqua-marine blue armor and dark blue bodysuit, three huge claws coming out of each of his gantlets, and large feathered wings, comes to the field in attack mode.

Jagger thinks in his mind, with a cold sly grin, "That overgrown bird freak won't do anything against my trap cards and my deck!"

Jaden calls out, with a dark sly grin, "Now, my Neos' ability activates and all spell and traps out on the field right now are automatically destroyed!" Just then a huge wind destroys all of Jagger's face-down cards, much to his shock. Jaden puts one card in the spell/trap slots and he calls out, "Next, I play my Fairy Meteor Crush equip spell card! Now, when my Neos destroys a monster with fewer defense points than its attack points, the difference is dealt to you as damage!" Jaden then says, with a dark sly grin while putting the last card in his hand in the spell/trap slots, "And finally, I play my Pump Up spell card and this card doubles my monster's power for this turn!" Storm Neos' stats rise from 3000/2500 to 6000/2500!

Jagger yells out, horrified, "This can't be!"

Jaden exclaims, darkly, "Oh, yes, it can! Storm Neos, destroy that peon and end this duel!" Storm Neos launches a huge hurricane that destroys Sanga and Jagger yells out in extreme pain and agony as he loses 5400 life-points, ending the duel immediately.

Final Score:

Jagger: 0

Jaden: 4000

With the end of the duel, the holograms, chains and shackles, and dark clouds fade away as Jagger falls to the ground on his back and into unconsciousness.

Slade yells out, shocked, "No! But how?!"

Jaden drags the unconscious Jagger off the dueling platform while Chazz gets onto it, he tells Slade, darkly, "Give up, dweeb! He's done and now, you're mine!"

Slade goes onto the dueling platform and he roars out, with a cold angered tone, "You are going to pay for this, Slacker!"

Chazz says, with a dark angered tone, "The only Slacker around here is you by joining that dork club!" Chazz and Slade activate their duel disk, their life-point counters display 4000 life-points each, and they draw five cards from their decks.

"Duel!" Chazz and Slade yell out in unison as their duel begins.

Starting Scores:

Slade: 4000

Chazz: 4000

Slade draws one card from his deck and calls out, coldly, "I'll go first, baby brother!" Slade puts one card in the spell/trap slots and calls out, "I play my Polymerization!" Then, Divine Dragon Ragnarok (1500/1000) and Lord of Dragon (1200/1100) appear on the field, they go into a fusion vortex and Slade calls out, "I fuse my Divine Dragon Ragnarok with Lord of Dragon to summon King Dragun!" Out of the fusion vortex, King Dragun (2400/1100) monster card and Slade says, putting another card on his duel disk, "Now, I use his special ability to summon my Hyozanryu!" Hyozanryu (2100/2800) comes to the field in attack mode. Slade puts one card in the spell/trap slots and he says, cold sly smile on his lips, "I'll end my turn with this!"

Chazz yells out, darkly, "Finally! Now, it's time for our real game!" Just then Chazz glows with black and dark violet glow and black shackles with the Millennium Symbol in the center appear on Chazz's and Slade's upper arms and necks.

Slade calls out, perplexed, "What are these?!"

Chazz says, with a dark sly grin, "Simple, dweeb! This is a Shadow Game now! Now, when we lose life-points, we get shocked!"

Slade yells out, stunned, "You're insane!"

Chazz draws one card from his deck and yells out, darkly, "Whatever, dork! It's my move!" Chazz puts one card in the spell/trap slots and exclaims, discarding one card from his hand to the graveyard, "I play my Tribute to the Doomed! I discard one card from hand to destroy your overgrown dragon!" Soon after, King Dragun explodes as it is destroyed and Chazz puts another card in the spell/trap slots, "Next, I play my Premature Burial! I give up eight hundred life-points in order to summon the monster I put in there! My Infernal Incinerator!" Soon after, Infernal Incinerator (2800/1800-3000/1800) comes to the field in attack mode while Chazz's life-points drop by 800 causing him to get shocked by the shackles, but he doesn't even flinch or lose his dark sly smile, which disturbs Slade. Chazz puts another card in the spell/trap slots and calls out, "Next, I play the Megamorph spell card! Since my life-points are less than yours, it doubles my monster's original attack power!" Infernal Incinerator's stats then rise from 3000/1800 to 5800/1800, Chazz puts another card in the spell/trap slots, and yells out, darkly, "And plus, dweeb, I play my own Pump Up spell card! This doubles my monster's power, again, for this turn!" Incinerator then roars out as his stats rise from 5800/1800 to 11,600/1800!

Slade thinks in his mind, with a cold sly grin, "Just try it, Chazz! With my Magic Cylinder trap card in waiting, when you attack, you lose and you will see the light, once again!"

Chazz puts last card in his hand in the spell/trap slot and calls out, darkly, "Finally, I play my Mystical Space Typhoon to take care of that trap card!" Slade gasps in shock as a huge wind destroys his face-down card, the Magic Cylinder trap card.

Slade yells out, horrified, "How could I lose to you again?! I've got destiny on my side!"

Chazz calls out, with a dark serious tone, "Incinerator, show this fucking asshole what I feel about his `destiny'! Crush him flat!" Incinerator fires a dark beam of heat energy at Hyozanryu, destroying it, and Slade yells out in extreme pain and agony as he is shocked from head to toe as he loses 9500 life-points, ending the duel immediately.

Final Score:

Slade: 0

Chazz: 3200

With the end of the duel, the holograms and the shackles fade away and Chazz says, with a dark angered snarl, "You go, bye-bye, dweeb."

Jaden tells Chazz, with a dark excited tone, "Way to go, Chazz! You crushed that dork flat!"

Chazz says, with a dark serious tone, "What did you expect Slacker?"

Jaden asks Chazz, curiously, "By the way, Chazz, why didn't you want to make this a 'Deck Master' duel?"

Chazz says, with a dark angered snarl, "These fucking scrubs never deserved that chance to fight back."

Jaden asks, curiously, "You really don't like your brothers, brainwashed or not."

Chazz replies, with a dark serious tone, "What was your first clue, Sherlock?"

Max yells out, stunned, "Not again!"

Uryu says, with a dark sly smile, "That's right, dweebs! And guess what? Since we won, all of Duel Academy's stock under Princeton Corporation belongs to us."

Chad says, with a dark smile, "In short! It means that we rule the school, again!"

Ayumi yells out, with a dark nasty tone, "Yeah! So, take a hike, losers!"

The SOL members stand up and Alexis says, with a cold serious tone, "This isn't over! Sooner or later, you will see the Light!"

Tyson rolls his eyes and he says, with a dark nasty tone, "Tell it to someone who cares, whore!"

Ray yells out, in a dark nasty tone, "Yeah, you're not wanted here so get lost!"

Alexis says, with a cold snarl, "Let's go everyone!" Alexis immediately turns to leave the stands and the stadium and start to file out of Obelisk Arena. Alexis thinks in her mind, with a cold serious tone, "However, I'm not going to get let anyone get in my way to bring you to my side in the Society of Light, Jaden!!"

As soon as the SOL members are gone, Ichigo says, with a dark annoyed tone, "Good riddance."

Kira points to Chazz's unconscious brothers and she asks, plainly, "What about those two?"

Hikari says, with a sigh, "Well, we can't just leave them like that."

Chazz yells out, with an annoyed tone, "I can!"

Jasmine says, seriously, "Well, we aren't you, Chazz!"

Ayumi says, with a sigh, "Wow. They must really not get along."

Mindy says, with a nod, "You know it, girlfriend."

Yusuke says, with a serious tone, "Well, it is best that we get them healed and out of here as soon as possible."

Ranma says, with a nod, "Good point, Yusuke. The less we have to see them and the Society Dorks can still use them, the better."

Hotaru says, nodding her head, "I agree, bro."

However, as our heroes and heroines immediately head down to the dueling arena to help with the healing and the 'booting out' of Chazz's elder brothers, as the group starts to leave, Kagome hears a female voice in her mind, "Kagome…Kagome…"

Kagome looks around and Inuyasha asks Kagome, "Is something wrong, Kagome?"

Kagome replies, shrugging her shoulders, "I thought that I heard someone. Must be my imagination." However, before she starts to leave, Kagome hears the female voice in her mind, "Kagome…I will be waiting for you…in the forest…it will be soon time…"

Kagome replies, seriously, "Okay, I know telepathy when I hear it in my mind! Who are you?!"

The female voice replies, "I am not surprised that you had forgotten me…Kagome…my dear…in time…you will remember…"

Kagome yells out, seriously, "Remember? Remember what?" However, there is no reply from the female voice and she thinks, "Who was that? And what did she, if it is a 'she', mean that she will be 'waiting for me in the forest'?" Kagome doesn't notice that her right arm gave off a familiar red glow for a second before vanishing and none of the others notices except for Kurama, Hiei, Rukia, and Yoruichi, who look at each other.

(Returning to the 'White Dorm'; Sometime afterwards)

Within Sartorius's quarters, we find our heroes and heroines 'former' friends, family members, and loved one assembled in front of Sartorius, who had heard what has happened earlier.

Sartorius says, in a plain tone, "So, the nonbelievers have once again foiled our plans on taking over the school, I see."

Alexis says, in a cold plain tone, "Yes sir."

Temari says, in a cold annoyed tone, "Damn it! We had them, but they manage to slip away from us!"

Choji says, in a cold serious tone, "The way that the nonbelievers planned this trap, earlier, they knew that we were going to buy off Duel Academy's stocks with the Princeton Brothers' company. These days, the nonbelievers seem to know our plans before we could even get to them."

Tatsuki says, in a cold plain tone, "Now that you mention it, Choji, it did happening. Somehow the nonbelievers know our plans to lure them into the Light before we plan it, like the first time, when we had Kagome Higurashi and Inuyasha trapped when Kikyo was with us, but somehow they've escaped while taking Bastion with them."

Andrew says, in a cold serious tone, "You're right, Tatsuki! It's like the nonbelievers can pick up our movements or have ESP!"

Temari yells out, in a cold serious tone, "Don't be stupid, Andrew! None of those dorks have ESP!"

Alexis says, in a cold serious tone, "…unless, we have spy in the mist! It could be one of us henged as Naruto, Sasuke, Neji, Lee, Inuyasha, Melody, or any of the ninjas from the Leaf Village, especially Akane's former fiancé!"

Sartorius tells Alexis, in a serious tone, "You don't have to worry about that, Miss Rhodes. I assure you that anyone from the nonbelievers that knows ninjutsu aren't here and all of you have been clear. I don't sense any betrayal from either of you! You've all tried to do your duties in the way of destiny. However, what Miss Arisawa and Mister Akimichi say is true, the nonbelievers are picking up our moves when they're not even here. How else would they be able to foil us at every turn?"

Akane asks Sartorius, in a cold plain tone, "Master Sartorius, did you find anything about that weird mark on Ranma's lower arm?"

Sartorius replies, in a plain tone, "Yes, Miss Tendo, I've found out what it is? You see, right now, Mister Saotome could be critical in the salvation or destruction of the Light and mankind!"

The SOL member are shocked and Akane asks Sartorius, "How, Master?"

Sartorius gets the remote that he used earlier and he says, with a plain tone, "This shall show you." Sartorius then pushes a button on the remote and a television screen comes down. When it is fully down, it displays Ranma's Shadow Duel with Nabiki when she was in the SOL.

Alexis asks, perplexed, "Synchro Summon?"

Sartorius says, with a nod, "Yes, it is new form of summoning creating by Maxamillion Pegasus. As Mister Saotome said, it involves Tuner monsters that combine with non-Tuner monsters on the field to form new Synchro Monsters similar to Fusion Monsters, but with many Synchro monsters, any Tuner monsters and non-Tuner monsters can be used to form these new Synchro Monsters. These new monsters and new rules of dueling will be out shortly and the nonbelievers got the new cards and Seto Kaiba already updated all duel disks with the new rules. However, this new monster, Red Dragon Archfiend, holds great significance." Sartorius then stops the tape when it displays the red dragon wings on Ranma's right arm and he says, magnifying the mark, "This mark is a special mark of a 'Signer'."

Akane asks, stunned, "Signer?"

Sartorius says, with a nod, "Yes. A Signer is another kind of Chosen Duelist and one that's very powerful. You see, three millennia ago, in the Americas, a Native American people known as the People of the Stars worshipped an ancient and powerful red star, but this star isn't any ordinary star. This red star held a powerful consciousness."

Choji asks, curiously, "You mean that it was alive?"

Sartorius says, with a nod, "That's correct, Mister Akimichi. The red star cared about mankind and the Earth, so, when great evils were plaguing the People of the Stars and the world, the red star took the form of the Crimson Dragon. The Crimson Dragon came down to Earth and sealed the evils in an area known as the Nazca Lines."

Tatsuki says, amazed, "I know a lot about that place!"

Sartorius says, with a plain tone, "As does the rest of the world, but they don't know the full story. However, the Crimson Dragon knew that the seal wouldn't last forever and that its power would be needed again, but it also knew that there are those that would abuse its great power. So, when it went to slumber to prepare for the day when it is needed again, it, with help from the People of the Stars, divined its power into five pieces and put them into five people in the form of birthmarks. They are known as 'Dragon Birthmarks' or 'Marks of the Dragon' as another term."

Gray asks, curiously, "So, that mark is a 'Dragon Birthmark'?"

Sartorius says, with a nod, "Yes. It is a 'Dragon Birthmark' and Mister Saotome is a 'Signer' as well as a Chosen Duelist!" The SOL member gasp in shock and Sartorius says, with a plain tone, "The 'Dragon Birthmarks' are portions of the Crimson Dragon's great power. And the Crimson Dragon has powers that rival the Light."

The SOL members gasp in shock and Keigo asks, stunned, "Rivals the Light in power?"

Sartorius says, with a nod, "Indeed. It is a great power and evils like the To-zoku and Orichalcos would love to control that kind of power. When the five 'Dragon Birthmarks' on the arms of the five 'Signers' are assembled, the full power of the Crimson Dragon can be released. However, it isn't enough, there is more. The five 'Signer Dragons' are also needed."

Alexis asks, curiously, "The five 'Signer Dragons'?"

Sartorius says, with a plain tone, "Five special dragon monsters that allow the five 'Signers' to unleash the powers of the Crimson Dragon. Each 'Signer' has a special dragon assigned to it and I have learned recently that Pegasus infused the spirits of the five dragons in five special new cards. The Leaf Village ninjas, Miss Tendo, Miss Rhodes, and those with them already have seen Miss Yukimura's 'Signer Dragon'."

Akane asks, amazed, "You mean that Red Dragon Archfiend Synchro Monster?"

Sartorius says, with a nod, "Yes. Red Dragon Archfiend is one of the five special dragons needs for the five 'Signers' to summon the Crimson Dragon's power."

Mihoshi says, in a cold plain tone, "Also, it's going to be harder to bring Ranma Saotome and his sister into the Light, since they're both Juraian descendants!"

The SOL members yelp in shock and Akane says, surprised, "Ranma and Hotaru are half aliens too!"

Sartorius tells Akane, in a plain tone, "Actually, Miss Tendo, they've only a quarter aliens. You see Ranma and Hotaru Saotome are grandchildren of Lord Susanoo, one of the royal members of Jurai and also known as the 'Sea and Ocean Prince of Jurai'. Their mother is only half Juraian since she received it from Lord Susanoo, her father. With the ninja training and Juraian powers of the two, they may only be around the mid-A class strength. We must hurry because with the rise of the 'Signers' comes a new danger."

Tatsuki asks, curiously, "A new danger, sir?"

Sartorius says, with a plain tone, "Since the 'Signers' are rising then it only means one thing, the seal of the evil demons of the Nazca Lines is weakening and the rise of the 'Singers' great foe is coming: The Dark Signers."

Andrew asks, perplexed, "Dark Signers?"

Sartorius says, with a nod, "Yes. They are the enemies to the 'Signers' and they are the warriors of the evil of the Nazca Lines. Their only goal is to cover the world in eternal darkness and there is only one force that can stop them: The 'Signers'. Knowing this, the 'Dark Signers' shall go after the 'Signers' since their 'dark marks', the opposites of the 'Mark of the Dragons' that the 'Signers' bare, react to the 'Signers' marks to start the war between the Crimson Dragon and its warrior dragons, like Black Rose Dragon, once more. They use 'Shadow Games' to duel, but unlike the ones that you know, the 'Shadow Realm' isn't the price for losing. It is usually your life."

The SOL members gasps in shock and Akane yells out, stunned, "You mean these 'Dark Signers' will come after Ranma to kill him?!"

Sartorius says, with a nod, "Yes. This will be the start of the war between the 'Dark Signers' and 'Signers' and there can only be one winner. As a 'Signer', Mister Saotome is vital to humanities survival from the darkness. We will need to find the other 'Signers' and bring them into the Light along with Miss Yukimura. However, I may have an idea for one of the other 'Signers' myself."

The SOL members look at Sartorius and Billy asks, curiously, "You do sir?"

Sartorius says, with a plain tone, "Yes, I do. It involves Miss Kagome Higurashi. You see, when I researching Mister Saotome and found all this out, I went to look for any information about the other 'Chosen Duelists' with the other nonbelievers to find something out. Well, I did find something interesting about Miss Higurashi. When she was young, three years old in fact, she was quite the good duelist, but one day, she collapsed into a coma for a whole month."

The SOL members gasp in shock and Eri says, stunned, "I didn't know about this."

Sartorius says, with a plain tone, "Her brothers, Sanosake and Sota Higurashi, and Miss Higurashi have forgotten this by this time in fact for some reason. You see, it wasn't the only thing unusual. When he woke up a month later, Miss Higurashi was completely fine. However, she said that her spirit was in a Duel Monsters Spirit World for that whole month."

Yuka asks, stunned, "A Duel Monsters' Spirit World?!"

Sartorius says, with a nod, "Indeed. Plus, she gave a description of his 'guardian' there. A 'guardian' that's a blue dragon with fairy wings and that's a description of one of the four remaining dragons: Namely Ancient Fairy Dragon."

Akane says, with a stunned tone, "That means that Kagome must be a 'Signer'!"

Sartorius says, with a nod, "Highly possible and we can't take any chances in this case with what we know now. Our efforts must focus on both Ranma Saotome and Kagome Higurashi."

Alexis says, in a cold snort, "It's not going to be easy since Inuyasha will be guarding them, especially Kagome, with Yusuke and Hikari helping him."

Temari says, in a cold serious tone, "Also, there's the matter on how the nonbelievers are picking on our plans in advance. We need to be careful with them when we planning on getting to them to bring them into the Light."

(In the forests; Sometime later)

Deep in the forests, we find Ukyo Kuonji with her Byakugan activated in a Gentle Fist pose while surrounded by 20 Mousse Shadow Clones and Mousse, himself, with kunai knives and shuriken with Jaden, Jenny, Syrus, Hassleberry, Chazz, Ranma, Hotaru, Neji, Kagome, Inuyasha, Megumi, Yusuke, Keiko, Kuwabara, Nodoka, and Kakashi watching.

Neji yells out, strongly, "Do it!"

Mousse and his Shadow Clones throw multiple kunai knives and shuriken at Ukyo and Ukyo took the stance of the Eight Trigrams Palm Rotation.

"Eight Trigrams Palm Rotation!"

Ukyo spins around fast and kunai knives and shuriken bounces off the defense. Then, five of Mousse's Shadow Clones charges after Ukyo and she immediately takes the stance.

"Eight Trigrams Thirty-two Palms!"

Ukyo came towards them, moving faster than before and she yells out, striking one twice, "Eight Trigrams, two palms!" Ukyo yells out, while hitting them four, eight, sixteen, and thirty-two times, "Four palms! Eight palms! Sixteen palms! Thirty-two palms!" With every hit, four of the Mousse Shadow Clones disappear and soon after, the rest of Mousse's remaining Shadows Clones disappear.

Kagome calls out, with a smile, "That was great, Ukyo!"

Neji steps forward and he says, plainly, "Nice work, Ukyo! Now, we'll step it up a notch to sixty-four palms!"

Ukyo nods her head and she says, "Right!"

Kakashi says, in an amazed tone, "Ukyo has been with us for a year and she's already had thirty-two palms. That's an amazing feet!"

Hotaru says, with a sly smile, "Yeah…don't you think so…" Hotaru takes out a kunai knife from her pouch and she calls out, strongly, "…P-chan!" Hotaru throws the kunai knife behind her and hits a nearby bush. Soon after, Ryoga, in his 'P-chan' form, comes out of his hiding place and then hot water pours on him by Ranma, which he turns back to his human form, fully clothed.

Ranma says, seriously, "Now, what's the idea spying on us!?"

Hotaru says, plainly, "I hope it's not another attempt to get Ranma to leave the Leaf Village and back to that violet short-tempered loser again."

Ryoga yells out, annoyed, "Hey, who are you calling a loser!?"

Ranma says, seriously, "Give it up, Ryoga! I'm not coming back! If you want Akane, you can have her! You've won! Now, me alone!"

Ryoga yells out, strongly, "I've already told you, Saotome! I have Akari!"

Hotaru says, with a sly smile, "Oh does Akari know about your little stunt you pulled to stab my brother in the back!"

Ryoga says, perplexed, "What!?"

Ranma yells out, annoyed, "Don't lie to me! After I broke the engagement with Akane, Hotaru told me about that date you had with Akane a week after the failed wedding and what happened afterwards!"

Ryoga gasps in shock and looks at Hotaru, yelling out, annoyed, "You mean you told him! Hotaru, you really do have a big mouth!"

Hotaru says, with a serious tone, "Hey, I had to protect my little brother from any heartbreak! It's amazing that I haven't killed that backstabbing tomboy!"

Ranma says, in a plain tone, "Though, I wouldn't called it 'backstabbing' since she had no feelings for me whatsoever!"

Kagome calls out, annoyed, "How could you do such a thing!?"

Inuyasha says, in a serious tone, "I always knew that you're a pervert, but this is gone too far!"

Ryoga yells out, strongly, "You're wrong! If you'd just let me explain…!"

Ranma yells out, seriously, "Why should I!? I've got my information! There's nothing for you to explain, P-chan!" Just then, Yusuke's PDA buzzes as he goes for it and activates it to see a picture of a male Ra Yellow with black spiky hair.

Yusuke asks, curiously, "What is it?!"

The Ra Yellow says, in a dark serious tone, "Yusuke, you have to get over here! Those white dorks are forcing a few of us in a duel in the Obelisk Arena! I'm hiding so they won't catch me!"

Yusuke yells out, shocked, "What!? We're on our way!" Yusuke then deactivates his PDA and he says, in a dark serious tone, "Hey guys, we have dorks in the Obelisk Arena!"

Jenny says, in a dark annoyed tone, "It looks like that they'll never quit!"

Neji says, in a dark plain tone, "Hold on! This could be a trap set by the Society of Light!"

Kakashi says, in a serious tone, "Neji's right! We have to be very careful!"

Yusuke activates his PDA and he says, in a dark plain tone, "Good idea!"

(Inside Obelisk Arena; Sometime later)

Within the Obelisk Arena, we find Yusuke, Keiko, Jade, Jaden, Jenny, Syrus, Hassleberry, Chazz, Bastion, Sasuke, Sakura, Hinata, Kagome, Ranma, Hotaru, Nabiki, Ukyo, Kai, Tyson, and Ray running into the arena and look around for any Ra Yellow students.

Yusuke says, in a dark serious tone, "I don't sense any white dorks!"

Kai says, in a dark plain tone, "This could be a trap!" Soon after, metal gates fall down and sealing all of the exits/entrances to Obelisk Arena.

Jade yells out, with a dark annoyed tone, "Hey! What the hell is this?!"

Alexis's voice replies, with a cold nasty tone, "Insurance that your dorky friends don't interfere with us. Those gates are infused with electric energy empowered by the Light of Truth, Jade. Your friends' dark powers can't help them get through now!" Everyone turns to see a group of white students led by our heroes' and heroines' 'former' friends, family, and loved ones, with the exception of Crowler, Bonaparte, Mihoshi, Keigo, and Jordan.

Tyson says, in a dark snarl, "Oh damn it! It was a trap!"

Ranma says, in a dark serious tone, "I think that you dweebs just love punishment and pain!"

Chazz says, in a dark plain tone, "Yeah, why else would you go all this trouble to trap us!?"

Alexis says, in a cold serious tone, "Oh believe us, we're the ones giving out the punishment, traitor!" Just then, a female SOL member with red hair tied to a ponytail comes out from the crowd and Alexis tells her, "Michelle, I want you to duel one of the nonbelievers!"

Michelle says, in a cold plain tone, "Okay!"

Jenny says, with a dark sly smile, "You're kidding me! You're sending one of your runts to duel!"

Hotaru says, in a dark sly grin, "This is too much! I'll handle her!" Hotaru and Michelle walks over to the platform and Tatsuki asks Akane, "Hey Akane, you know much about Hotaru's deck?"

Akane says, in a cold serious tone, "Hotaru plays with Cyber Angels, Spellcasters, and Zombies, when she's playing around and she uses it very well. I hope that Michelle can break through her strategy."

On top of the platform, Hotaru talks out a card from her deck and she says, darkly, "Since we're playing with Deck Master, you'll have to choose wisely! I choose my Cyber Angel Idaten!" Soon after, Cyber Angel Idaten (A: 1600/D: 2000) appears by Hotaru's right side.

Michelle displays a Flying Kamakiri #1 (A: 1400/D: 900) and she calls out, in a cold serious tone, "And I choose my Flying Kamakiri!" Soon after, Flying Kamakiri (A: 1400/D: 900) appears by Michelle's right side. Michelle and Hotaru put their dueling decks into their duel disks, a visible black and dark violet aura comes from Serena's deck that's able to be seen by the SOL members, and Choji says, worriedly, "Oh man! Hotaru has some kind of darkness cards in her deck!"

Hotaru and Michelle activate their duel disks, their life-point counters display 4000 life-points, and they draw five cards from their decks.

Hotaru and Michelle yell out in unison, "Game on!"

Starting Scores:

Michelle: 4000

Hotaru: 4000

Michelle yells out, drawing a card, "I'll start!" Michelle places a card onto her duel disk and she calls out, "I summon Sonic Duck in attack mode and end my turn!" Soon after, Sonic Duck (1700/700) appears on the field in attack mode.

Hotaru says, in a dark sly smile, "And here I thought that Akane's opening moves are lame!" Akane glowers in cold annoyance at Hotaru's remark and she thinks in her mind, in a cold annoyed tone, "She hasn't changed!"

Hotaru then says, with a dark serious tone, "It's time to take this duel to the next level!" Hotaru closes her eyes, a dark violet and black aura surrounds her body and the Millennium Symbol appears on her forehead.

Michelle yells out, horrified, "No! Not another Shadow Game!"

Hotaru says, with a dark sly smile, "Too late to back out!" Just then a dark violet and black fog encompasses the whole of Obelisk Arena, the dueling platform and the stands. Just then black metallic rings with the Millennium Symbol in gold in the center of the rings appear around Michelle's and Hotaru's necks and upper arms.

Hotaru yells out, perplexed, "What in the hell are these?!"

Hotaru tells Michelle, with a dark nasty tone, "Do I need to explain everything?! Here it is: Have you ever seen or heard about the Underground duels? Well, these rings are based on them and when we lose life-points, we get one nasty shock! Get it?!"

The SOL members gasps in shock and Akane says, horrified, "Oh man! Hotaru has always been cold and heartless to people, except for Ranma, in the past, but this is too much!"

Hotaru puts one card on her duel disk and calls out, darkly, "First, I play this! My Crystal Beast Topaz Tiger!" Just then a large crystal of yellow Topaz comes to the field and glows.

Bastion, Keiko, Sakura, Kagome, Chazz, Nabiki, Tatsuki, Akane, and Temari gasp in shock and Nabiki thinks, stunned, "No way! She has that legendary deck?!" Soon after, the crystal shatters to reveal a large white tiger with black stripes, silver metallic horn across his forehead, one silver metallic spike coming out of its each of its legs outwards, and a crystal of topaz attached to the left side of his neck. Crystal Beast Topaz Tiger (1600/1000) appears in front of Serena in attack mode.

Chazz yells out, in total disbelief, "What?! How can she have one of the two Crystal Beast decks?!"

Keigo asks, perplexed, "Crystal Beast decks?"

Tatsuki tells Keigo, "That's right, Keigo. They are one of two decks created by Maxamillion Pegasus, but never released to the public."

Sakura then explains, in a serious tone, "I know the legend. It is said that Julies Caesar assembled seven rare jewels, one from every one of the places that he conquer from the known world at the time, and brought them to Rome, but the ship was caught in the storm and the rare jewels were lost. But then Maxamillion Pegasus found the gems and created two sets of seven new monster cards from them."

Yusuke asks, curiously, "You mean those Crystal Beast cards?"

Bastion nods his head and says, in a logical tone, "That's right, Yusuke. However, they were never released to the public and he gave one of set of the cards away to a tournament winner in the Southern United States by the name of Jesse Anderson."

Jaden's ears perk up and he thinks in his mind, "Jesse Anderson? Why does the name ring a few bells?"

Keiko tells Yusuke, in a plain tone, "And it was never said what happened to the second one…until now anyway."

Nabiki asks, in a plain tone, "How did Hotaru get her hands on them!?"

Hotaru says, with a dark sly grin, "Well, before I left the Japanese Amazon tribe, I was given this deck on my sixteen birthday after I was given my Power Pole and I found out that the Crystal Beasts cards need to choose their master or, in my case, mistress! Jesse Anderson was chosen to weld the first Crystal Beast deck and the second cards chose little old me to have them, but I never used them because I saved from a special occasion!"

Akane yells out, in a shocked tone, "Wait! She had them all this time and she didn't even say anything!"

Hotaru says, in a dark plain tone, "I was until…I found out about Nabiki's personality and I knew that Nabiki would just sell them, which I couldn't allow and the old man is no better!"

Nabiki says, drolly, "So trusting!"

Ranma says, in a dark plain tone, "Mousse, Ukyo, mom, and I knew about this after we left the Tendo Dojo, but we didn't say anything, since Hotaru wanted us to keep it a secret!"

Kagome says, a bit amazed, "Incredible. I didn't know that Hotaru had such a legendary deck."

Ukyo says, with a dark sly grin, "That dork is going to get it now."

Hotaru asks Topaz Tiger, telepathically, "Ready, my friend?"

Topaz Tiger replies, in a deep male voice and telepathically, "Why don't you explain to her about my special talent?" Hotaru then tells Michelle, darkly, "By the way, geek, I forgot to mention that my tiger has a talent! Whenever he attacks one of your monsters, he gains four hundred more attack points!" Topaz Tiger's stats rise from 1600/1000 to 2000/1000! Michelle gasps in shock and Hotaru calls out, darkly, "Topaz Tiger, turn that duck into your next meal! Topaz Fang Pounce!" Topaz Tiger leaps into the air, pounces onto Sonic Duck, and the monster explodes causing Michelle to cry out in pain again as she is shocked by dark electric energy as she loses 300 life-points while Topaz Tiger's stats return their original 1600/1000! When the shock stops, Michelle calls out, in a cold serious tone, "I'll activate the special ability of my Deck Master, whenever a wind monster on my side of the field is destroyed, I can special summon another Wind type monster from my deck!" A card comes out of Michelle's deck and into her hand. Michelle takes the card from her hand, places it onto her duel disk, and calls out, coldly, "And I choose my Harpie Lady Three!" Soon after, Harpie Lady 3 (1300/1400) comes to the field in attack mode.

Hotaru puts one card in the spell/trap slots and says, darkly, "I think that you suffered enough for now. So, I'll give you a break dork."

Current Score:

Michelle: 3700

Hotaru: 4000

Michelle draws one card from her deck and calls out, winching from pain and in a cold angered tone, "You'll pay for that!" Michelle puts one card on her duel disk and calls out, in a cold serious tone, "First, I summon Harpie Lady One!" Soon after, Harpie Lady One (1300/1400) comes to the field in attack mode. Michelle puts one card in the spell/trap slots and calls out, "Then I play my Elegant Egotist! With this spell card, I can summon one 'Harpie Lady' or 'Harpie Lady Sisters' from my deck!" Michelle takes one card from her deck, puts one card on her duel disk and calls out, "Now, I choose Harpie Lady Sisters!" Just then Harpie Lady Sisters (1950/2100) comes to the field in attack mode. Michelle says, with a cold sly smile, "And thanks to my Harpie Lady One, all Wind monsters gain three hundred more attack points!" Just then, both Harpie Lady 1's and 2's stats increase from 1300/1400 to 1600/1400 and Harpie Lady Sisters' stats increase from 1950/2100 to 2250/2100! Michelle yells out, in a cold serious tone, "Harpie Lady Sisters, declaw that overgrown kitty cat!" Harpie Lady Sisters rushes at Topaz Tiger and it roars as it is destroyed while Hotaru is shocked by dark electric energy as she loses 650 life-points, but since doesn't even flinch from the assault, disturbing Michelle greatly.

Keigo says, with a cold sly smile, "That cat has lost his last life!"

Hotaru says, with a dark sly smile, "Don't count on it!" Just then a bright glow comes from the field and then an unrefined yellow crystal of topaz then appears on Hotaru's field in the spell/trap zones.

Keigo yells out, in a stunned tone, "What the?! Michelle already got rid of Hotaru's damn Crystal Beasts!"

Hotaru calls out, with a dark sly grin, "Think again, dweeb! All of my Crystal Beasts have a unique special ability, when they are destroyed, if I have open spell and trap zones on my side of the field, they can stay as Continuous spell cards in the form of precious gems."

Alexis yells out, in a cold annoyed tone, "No fair! Why does Hotaru get her own deck full of priceless gems?!"

Jaden calls out, in a dark nasty tone, "Cry us a river, bitch! Can you damn well keep it down?! I'm trying to see Serena kick your dorky friend's butt!"

Alexis winches in shock and surprise and she thinks, looking at Jaden's dark harsh glare, "Jaden, what in the hell happened to you?! You were never this nasty to me before! Why now?! Is that demon has taken most of your mind!?"

Michelle calls out, in a cold serious tone, "So, what, if your damn monsters can stay as gems?! They still can't defend you! Harpies, attack that dork directly!" The two Harpies fly over to Hotaru, slashes at her, and making her lose 3200 hundred life points. Hotaru then is shocked by dark electric energy, but she isn't screaming in pain.

Alexis yells out, shocked, "No way! That's got to be hurting her!"

Akane says, in a cold annoyed snort, "No! Like Ichigo Kurosaki's friend, Sado Yasutora, Hotaru has an annoying inability of feeling physical pain! It's one of the many annoying things that she's learned from that Japanese Amazon village that Uncle Saotome left her in!"

Keigo yells out, shocked, "You mean that she's like Chad! Oh great!"

Michelle says, with a cold plain tone, "I end my turn."

Current Score:

Michelle: 3700

Hotaru: 150

Hotaru draws one card from her deck, pushes one button on her duel disk, and she says, darkly, "First, I'll play my Crystal Offering trap card!" Hotaru's face-down card was a trap card with a picture of an unrefined yellow crystal of topaz appears on the field and Hotaru says, picking six cards, "Now, since I have lower than five hundred life-points, I can pick up the top six cards from my deck and send the monster cards that I drew with this effect to my graveyard and keep the spell and trap cards!" Hotaru then sends two monster cards, Crystal Beast Cobalt Eagle (1400/800) monster card which has a picture of an eagle with brown feathers, orange main, and blue jewels of cobalt on each of its wings with three jewels of cobalt, two small and one large, just below its neck, and Crystal Beast Amethyst Cat (1200/400) monster card which has a picture of a pink jungle cat with small metal yellow wings on each of its legs and a large jewel of amethyst near its neck with two large yellow wings connected to the violet jewel. Hotaru says, with a dark sly smile, "And for every Crystal Beast that I've discarded, I gain eight hundred life-points!" Hotaru's body glows light blue and her life-points increase by 1600 points. Hotaru sends a spell card into the spell/trap slot and she calls out, "Next, I play Crystal Blessing! Now, I can bring those Crystal Beasts I've discarded to my spell and trap zones!" Just then, pieces of unrefined amethyst and unrefined cobalt appear on Hotaru's spell/trap zones. Hotaru then sends another card into the spell/trap slot and calls out, darkly, "I'm not done, yet! I play Crystal Beacon! Since I have at least two Crystal Beasts in my spell and trap zones, I can special summon one more Crystal Beast monster from my deck!" Hotaru goes through her deck, takes out one card from her deck, puts her deck back in her duel disk, and says, putting the card on her duel disk, "I choose my Crystal Beast Sapphire Pegasus!" A piece of sapphire appears on the field and it transforms into Crystal Beast Sapphire Pegasus (1800/1200), a pearly white Pegasus with a horn made of sapphire and one oval sapphire jewel on each of its wings, comes to the field in attack mode. A card comes out of Hotaru's deck and she says, putting the card in the spell/trap slots, "This card allows me to put one Crystal Beast from my hand, deck, or graveyard into my spell/trap zones and I choose my Crystal Beast Emerald Turtle!" Immediately, a piece of unrefined emerald appears in Hotaru's spell/trap zone.

Tatsuki says, in a cold annoyed tone, "Oh great! This means that Hotaru only needs two more Crystal Beasts for her dragon!"

Cyber Angel Idaten starts to glow and Hotaru says, while taking a card from her graveyard, "And since I special summoned a monster to my side of the field, my Deck Master's ability is activated! Now, I take one card from my grave!" Hotaru puts the card in the spell/trap slots and she says, darkly, "And if you hadn't already guessed, it is my Crystal Beacon! Now, I can play another Crystal Beast monster from my deck!" Hotaru goes through her deck again, takes out one card from her deck, puts her deck back in her duel disk, and says, putting the card on her duel disk, "I choose again my Crystal Beast Amber Mammoth!" Just then a large orange crystal of amber appears on the field, it glows, and it transforms into a large dark blue wooly mammoth with four tusks, ice-blue hair on its scalp, and a circular jewel of amber on its forehead, Crystal Beast Amber Mammoth (1700/1600) comes to the field in attack mode. Cyber Angel Idaten starts to glow and Hotaru says, while taking a card from her graveyard, "And since I special summoned a monster to my side of the field, my Deck Master's ability is activated! Now, I take one card from my grave! However, I'm not going to use it!"

Michelle asks, in a cold plain tone, "Why not!?"

Hotaru says, sending another card into the spell/trap slot, "Because I'm going to do a little 'cleaning up' with Crystal Abundance! Since I have four Crystal Beasts in my spell and trap zone, I can send them to the graveyard to send all cards on the field to the graveyard!"

Michelle yells out, shocked, "No way!" Just then, the crystals in Hotaru's spell/trap zones glow and all cards had disappears, leaving the field empty.

Hotaru says, with a dark sly smile, "Oh and by the way, the number of cards sent from your side of the field is the same amount of Crystal Beast that I'm allowed to summon! Crystal Beast Sapphire Pegasus, Topaz Tiger, and Amber Mammoth, roll call!" Immediately, three crystals, a sapphire, topaz, and amber appears on the field, glow to transform into Crystal Beast Sapphire Pegasus (1800/1200), Crystal Beast Topaz Tiger (1600/1000), and Crystal Beast Amber Mammoth (1700/1600) appear on the field in attack mode. A card comes out of Hotaru's deck and she says, putting the card into the spell/trap slots, "Now, Sapphire Pegasus' ability allows me to bring the last Crystal Beast for my ultimate monster, more specifically a dragon…! My Crystal Beast Ruby Carbuncle!" Immediately, a piece of unrefined ruby appears in Hotaru's spell/trap zone. Hotaru says, in a dark plain tone, "However, the special ability of my Deck Master allows me to bring a spell card from my graveyard, but I'm not going to do that since there will be no point in me doing so!" Hotaru says, putting the card on his duel disk, "I special summon the all mighty Rainbow Dragon!" Just then a rainbow of lights coming from the jewels on the field and in the graveyard bath the field in rainbow light and out of that rainbow light, Rainbow Dragon (4000/0), a huge dragon with a silvery body, blue horn for a nose and a blue horn coming out of the back of its head, yellow eyes, a ruby, amber, topaz, and emerald jewel on its neck, a sapphire, a cobalt, and a amethyst jewel on its body, crystal blue angel wings coming out of its back, yellow dragon wings coming out from the sides of its body, and dragonic wings coming out near its tail, comes to the field in attack mode.

Both sides are stunned and Sasuke says, with a curious tone, "Interesting. The Rainbow Dragon. I've heard about it in legends, but I didn't know that it existed."

Kai says, with a plain tone, "My grandfather spent a lot of time trying to get the power of that dragon. Now, let's see if the legends are true."

Hotaru says, putting one card into the spell/trap slots, "Normally, I can play its abilities when I summon it this turn, but my Mischief of the Time Goddess will change all that! This skips your turn and returns it to my Battle Phase! Now, I play Rainbow Dragon's ability! By releasing all Crystal Beast on my field, he gains one grand for each one! Go, Rainbow Overdrive!" The six jewels on Hotaru's spell/trap zones glow with a powerful light and they leap into the jewel 'slots' on Rainbow Dragon causing them to glow while Rainbow Dragon's stats rise from 4000/0 to 10,000/0!

Michelle yells out, flabbergasted, "Ten-thousand attack points?! No way!"

Hotaru says, with a dark sly grin, "Oh, yes way! Rainbow Dragon, blast this loser with Rainbow Refraction!" Rainbow Dragon fires a rainbow beam of energy from its mouth at Michelle, hitting her hard and Michelle yells out in pain as she's shocked by the shackles and she loses 10,000 life-points, ending the duel immediately.

Final Score:

Michelle: 0

Hotaru: 1750

With the duels end, the field returns to normal while the holograms fade away and Sakura, with multiple third degree burns on her exposed skin, her white uniform torn, and some cuts from the attack by Rainbow Dragon, collapses onto the ground and into unconsciousness.

Hotaru says, her head lowered and in a dark tone, "Game over, dweeb."

Tyson yells out, in a dark strong tone, "Okay, dorks, we've won your little game! Now, let us go!"

Alexis says, snapping her fingers, "That will not happen, Tyson!" Just then, three white electro cords came and unexpectedly hits the backs of Yusuke, Syrus, and Tyson and they howl in pain as they were electrocuted and lose consciousness.

Keiko yells out, horrified, "Yusuke!"

Kai and Ray yell out, horrified, "Tyson!"

Jaden yells out, shocked, "Syrus!"

Just then, Mihoshi, Keigo, and Jordan come out from the stands with teasers and stun guns and Bastion says, in a dark serious tone, "No! They must have made their own teasers and stun guns to negate our special powers!"

Mihoshi says, with a cold plain tone, "Yes, we made our own to even out the playing field!"

Alexis says, in a cold serious tone, "Now, either you come with us or we'll give your friends a shock of a lifetime!"

Ukyo says, in a dark nasty tone, "I should have known that you dorks would play foul!"

Hotaru says, with a dark sly smile, "That's okay, Ukyo! We came prepared! Now, guys!" Just then, out of nowhere three familiar figures come out from the stands and bashes Mihoshi, Jordan, and Keigo hard to the ground.

Akane yells out, shocked, "What the!?"

Alexis yells out, shocked, "Jordan!" Alexis looks at the three figures, which revealed to be Yusuke Urameshi, Syrus Truesdale, in his Dark Juraian battle uniform, and Tyson Granger, in his Dark Juraian battle uniform and she yells out, "What the hell!?" The SOL members look over to the unconscious 'Yusuke', 'Syrus', and 'Tyson', which were gone in a puff of smoke.

Temari yells out, in a cold serious tone, "Naruto and his Shadow Clone Jutsu and Transformation Jutsu!"

Yusuke says, with a dark sly smile, "Bingo, dork! Did you honestly believe that you'll be able to catch us so easily like that?!" Yusuke then fires three Spirit Gun blasts at the teasers and stun guns that we're laying on the ground.

Hotaru says, with a dark sly grin, "You believed that we trapped you, but we've trapped you!"

Tatsuki yells out, coldly, "Damn it! The nonbelievers got us again!"

Tyson says, with a dark sly smile, "Oh and by the way, dorks, did you honestly believe that we came alone!?"

"Bakusai Tenketsu!"

Just then, an explosion outside the arena occurs and multiple boulders came to slam into the gate, breaking it down.

Akane yells out, in a cold annoyed tone, "I know that attack from anywhere!" Just then, a black-clad Ryoga Hibiki comes out from the entrance and yells out, in a dark strong tone, "Come on!"

Ukyo says, with a dark sly smile, "And that's our ticket out of here!"

Tyson grabs Mihoshi's unconscious form and he says, with a dark sly smile, "And she'll be coming with us!"

Akane yells out, in a cold strong tone, "The hell you are!" Akane quickly gets out a white mallet from nowhere and charges after Tyson.

"Scythes of Sorrow!"

Just then, multiple scythes come from nowhere and slashes Akane's mallet in half and she looks up to see a black-clad Mousse from the stands and he jumps up and lands near his comrades. Ukyo quickly gets out a bag of floor and she says, with a dark sly smile, "Well, dorks, it's been fun, but we have to get going! Later!" Ukyo throws the flour to the ground, creating a smokescreen that covers her and her comrades from the SOL's eyes as they cover their eyes. As the smoke disappears, our heroes and heroines, along with the unconscious Mihoshi, have vanished.

Tatsuki yells out, in a cold annoyed tone, "Damn it! They've escaped!"

Akane says, with a cold serious tone, "There is nothing that we can do now, Tatsuki!"

(Elsewhere on Academy Island; Sometime later)

In another part of Academy Island, we find Mihoshi trying to get out of a Juraian force-field, but she can't get out with our heroes and heroines surrounding her.

Yusuke says, with a dark smirk, "You are not going to get out that way, dork!"

Hikari says, with a dark plain tone, "You know that there is only one way to get out of here!"

Tenchi says, with an Academy Duel Disk that has a dueling deck inside of the duel disk, "And this is it, dweeb!"

Mihoshi says, shocked, "In one of your Shadow Duels?! That will hurt!"

Tyson asks, with a dark smile, "Do you want to find out what will do to the rest of your Society Dorks?"

Mihoshi yells out, horrified, "You wouldn't?!"

Keiko says, with a dark grin, "I don't think that you want to try us, 'Mihoshi'!"

Mihoshi says, with a cold plain tone, "That's fine!" The shield is lowered and Mihoshi falls to the floor in which our 'darkened' heroes and heroines throw her. Mihoshi attached the duel disk to her left wrist, she puts her dueling deck inside, and she says, with a cold serious tone, "I won't lose to you, nonbelievers, Lord Tenchi!"

Tenchi says, with a dark smirk, "That's what you think, dork!" The two of them activate their duel disks, their life-point counters display 4000 life-points for each duelists, and they draw five cards from their decks.

"Game on!" Tenchi and Mihoshi yell out in unison as their duel begins.

Starting Scores:

Mihoshi: 4000

Tenchi: 4000

Mihoshi says, drawing a card, "I'll take the first move, Lord Tenchi!" Mihoshi says, putting one card on her duel disk, "I play my Snow Fairy in attack mode!" Just then Snow Fairy (1100/700) appears on the field in attack mode.

Tyson asks, perplexed, "What is that?"

Chazz says, with a dark plain tone, "Just another of Sartorius' rotten cards."

Mihoshi says, with a cold serious tone, "Master Sartorius gave me this card as a sign of his trust and favor, dork! I'll show you what it can with the ability to make Lord Tenchi unable to use his spell cards right away and only have they are face-down for a turn, he can use them!" Mihoshi says, putting one card into the spell/trap slots, "I play my Mist Body equip spell card and give it to my Snow Fairy, making her invincible in battle!" Mihoshi says, putting one more card into the spell/trap slots, "I'll end my turn with a face-down card!"

Tenchi says, drawing a card, "My turn, dweeb!" Tenchi says, putting one card on his duel disk, "Since you have a monster and I don't, I can play my Vice Dragon in attack mode!" Just then Vice Dragon (2000/2400-1000/1200), a large purple dragon with purple and green dragon wings with yellow eyes, comes to the field in attack mode in which Tenchi says, with a dark smile, "However, my Vice Dragon has to have its attack and defense point cut it half when played in this manner!" Tenchi says, putting one card on his duel disk, "However, I summon the Tuner monster, Magna Drago, in attack mode!" Just then Magna Drago (1400/600), a good sized red dragon with brown dragon wings, comes to the field in attack mode.

Mihoshi asks, perplexed, "Tuner monster?"

Yusuke tells Ranma, with a dark grin, "Thanks for giving us those Tuner and Synchro monsters!"

Ranma says, with a dark smile, "Pegasus sent us plenty of extra Synchro and Tuner monsters as well as support cards to give the rest of your decks quite a boost!"

Tenchi says, with a dark serious tone, "I tune my Magna Drago with my Vice Dragon in order to Synchro Summon my Exploder Dragonwing!" Magna Drago turns into two stars that turn into two rings that surround Vice Dragon whicn makes him become transparent, then a column of light appears when he puts the card on his duel disk and Exploder Dragonwing (2400/1600), a dark violet and orange dragon monster with violet eyes a 'hump' on its back where its dark violet and orange wings are attached, comes to the field in attack mode.

Mihoshi thinks in her mind, shocked, "Lord Tenchi is using Synchro Monsters now?! That means Ranma and his family gave the nonbelievers Tuner and Synchro Monsters to get an edge over us!"

Tenchi says, with a dark serious tone, "Exploder Dragonwing has a special ability! If I attack a monster that's weaker than my dragon, I can destroy it automatically without giving battle damage and you lose life-points equal to the attack points of the destroyed monster!"

Mihoshi yells out, horrified, "It can't be!"

Tenchi yells out, darkly and strongly, "Dragonwing, show this dork how wrong she is!" Exploder Dragonwing unleashes a sphere of flames at Snow Fairy and she cries out as she is destroyed in which Mihoshi cries out in pain as dark electric energy comes from the floor while she loses 1100 life-points.

Mihoshi asks, perplexed, "Where did that come from?" Mihoshi then looks and gasps to see electrified metal panels at her feet with some kind of force-field surrounding Tenchi and herself.

Tenchi says, with a dark smirk, "I started a Shadow Duel and you didn't even know it!" Tenchi says, putting two cards into the spell/trap slots, "I'll end my turn with two face-down cards!"

Current Score:

Mihoshi: 2900

Tenchi: 4000

Mihoshi says, drawing a card from her deck, "It's my turn, Lord Tenchi!" Mihoshi says, pushing a button on her duel disk, "I play my trap card: Call of the Haunted!" Mihoshi's face-down card is revealed to be the Call of the Haunted continuous trap card and Mihoshi says, with a cold smile, "And I can use it to revive my Snow Fairy!" Just then Snow Fairy (1100/700) returns to the field in attack mode.

Tenchi says, pushing a button on his duel disk, "I don't think so, dweeb! I play my face-down: Mystical Space Typhoon!" Tenchi's face-down card is revealed to be the Mystical Space Typhoon Quick-Play spell card and Tenchi says, with a dark smirk, "This card destroys your trap card and gets rid of your snow wimp, again!" Just then a twister destroys Mihoshi's trap card and Snow Fairy vanishes as well.

Mihoshi tells Tenchi, with a cold serious tone, "That won't stop me from making you see the Light, Lord Tenchi!" Mihoshi says, putting one card into the spell/trap slots, "I play my Ancient Rules spell card! This card allows me to play a level five or above Normal Monster!" Mihoshi puts one card on her duel disk and yells out, "I choose Wingweaver!" Just then Wingweaver (2750/2400) appears on the field in attack mode. Mihoshi says, putting one card into the spell/trap slots, "Then I place one card face-down!" Mihoshi says, putting one card on her duel disk, "And bring out The Agent of Wisdom-Mercury in defense mode!" Just then The Agent of Wisdom-Mercury (0/1700) comes to the field in defense mode. Mihoshi yells out, with a cold strong tone, "Wingweaver, rip that dragon to shreads!" Wingweaver unleashes a powerful blast of light energy that destroys Exploder Dragonwing.

Tenchi says, pushing a button on his duel disk, "I activate my Defense Draw trap card!" Tenchi's face-down card is revealed to be the Defense Draw trap card and he says, with a dark serious tone, "This card prevents me from getting battle damage and allows me to draw a card!"

After Tenchi draws one card, Mihoshi says, with a cold annoyed tone, "No fair, Lord Tenchi! I end my turn!"

Tenchi draws one card from his deck and he yells out, with a dark serious tone, "It's my turn!" Tenchi says, putting one card into the spell/trap slots, "I play my Graceful Charity! I draw three cards and discard two from my hand!" Tenchi draws three more cards from his deck, discards two from his hand, and he says, putting one card on his duel disk, "I play my Guard of Flamvell in defense mode!" Just then Guard of Flamvell (100/2000), a black armored dragon with flames surrounding it, comes to the field in defense mode. Tenchi says, putting one card into the spell/trap slots, "Then I play Silent Doom spell card! This card allows me to revive any monster in my grave in defense mode and I choose one I put there myself: My Hyozanryu!" Just then Hyozanryu (2100/2800) appears on the field in defense mode. Tenchi says, with a dark sly tone, "And now, I tune my Flamvell which is a Tuner monster with my Hyozanryu in order to Synchro Summon Light End Dragon!" Flamvell turns into single star that turns into a single ring that surrounds Hyozanryu and Light End Dragon (2600/2100), a pearly white dragon with four sets of white angel wings in which golden helmet, comes to the field in attack mode.

Mihoshi says, with a cold smirk, "But my Wingweaver is stronger than your lizard, Lord Tenchi!"

Tenchi says, with a dark smile, "But my dragon can lower your monster's attack and defense power by fifteen hundred while only lowers its own strength by five hundred." Mihoshi gasps in shock as Light End Dragon gives a burst of light energy that weakens Wingweaver down from 2750/2400 to 1250/900 while Light End Dragon's stats go down from 2600/2100 to 2100/1600. Tenchi yells out, strongly, "Okay, Light End Dragon, demolish that overgrown pixie!" Light End Dragon attacks and destroys Wingweaver in which Mihoshi cries out in pain as she gets shocked by dark electric energy as she loses 850 more life-points. Tenchi says, putting two cards into the spell/trap slots, "I'll end my turn with two cards face-down!"

Current Score:

Tenchi: 4000

Mihoshi: 2050

Mihoshi draws one card from her deck and she says, with a cold serious tone, "Due to my Mercury's ability, since I had no cards in my hand during your End Phase, I get another card from my deck!" Mihoshi draws one more card from her deck and she says, putting one card into the spell/trap slots, "First, I play my Fairy's Present spell card!" Just then a hologram of a spell card with a picture of a group of fairies helping Santa with presents appears on the field in which Mercury vanishes and Mihoshi says, drawing two cards, "By sending one Fairy-type monster from my field to the graveyard, I get two more cards!" Mihoshi says, putting another card into the spell/trap slots, "And then I play my continuous spell card: Valhalla, Hall of the Fallen!" Just then ancient Greek throne room appears on the field and Mihoshi says, putting one card on her duel disk, "Since I have no monsters in play, I can play one Fairy monster and I choose my Athena!" Just then Athena (2600/800), a female humanoid monster looking like the Ancient Greek Goddess of War, appears on the field in attack mode. Mihoshi says, putting one card into the spell/trap slots, "Then I play my Graceful Charity! And you know what that means Lord Tenchi! Three more cards from my deck and two more to the graveyard!" Mihoshi draws three cards, discards two more cards, and she yells out, putting one card on her duel disk, "Then I play my Hecatrice in attack mode!" Just then Hecatrice (1500/1100), a golden angel-like figure, appears on the field in attack mode. Mihoshi says, with a cold smile, "And now, my Athena activates her ability, Lord Tenchi! Since I played a Fairy monster, you get hit with six hundred points of damage!" Athena then unleashes an energy beam that slams into Tenchi and he gets zapped while losing 600 life-points.

Tenchi says, with a dark smile, "Is that all? That didn't hurt dork!"

Mihoshi says, with a cold serious tone, "This might, Lord Tenchi! By releasing a Fairy type monster, I can revive one Fairy monster in my graveyard! So, I release my Hecatrice in order to play my Guardian Angel Joan!" Hecatrice vanishes from the field and Guardian Angel Joan (2800/2000) appears on the field in attack mode in which Mihoshi says, with a cold serious tone, "And now, you take more damage from Athena's ability!" Tenchi is zapped as he is hit with another 600 life-points of damage, but he doesn't even flinch.

Tenchi thinks in his mind, "You know what to do, dork!"

Mihoshi yells out, with a cold serious tone, "Guardian Angel Joan, destroy his Light End Dragon!" Guardian Angel Joan blasts Light End Dragon with its powerful blast in which Tenchi is zapped as he loses 700 more life-points and Mihoshi says, with a cold smile, "And now, my Joan allows me to recover life-points equal to the original attack points of your lizard, Lord Tenchi!"

Tenchi says, pushing a button on his duel disk, "Just what I was waiting for, dork! I play my trap card: Bad Reaction to Simochi!" Tenchi's face-down card is then revealed to be the Bad Reaction to Simochi continuous trap card and Tenchi says, with a dark smile, "This trap card turns any card effect that allows you to recover life-points into damage!"

Mihoshi yells out, horrified, "No, it can't be! How could I lose with Light on my side?!" Just then the trap card blasts Mihoshi who yells out in extreme pain and agony as she loses 2600 life-points, ending the duel immediately.

Final Score:

Tenchi: 2100

Mihoshi: 0

With the end of the duel, the electrical panels and force-field vanishes in which Mihoshi collapses onto the ground unconscious.

Tenchi says, as the holograms fade away, "Sorry about that Mihoshi, but it had to be done."

Sasami says, with a dark excited tone, "Alright, we got Mihoshi back from those creeps!"

Kiyone says, with a dark smile, "I know that she may be a ditz at times, but she's my partner and I'm glad that she's okay now."

Ranma goes over to Mihoshi's motionless form and he says, with a smile, "Don't worry! With my new healing powers that I've learned from Grandma Tsunade, I could…" Ranma's words died out when he sees Pharaoh near Mihoshi's body and he screams out in fear loudly, then jumps quickly behind Yusuke, while shaking in fear.

Yusuke says, in disbelief, "Geez, is it that bad!"

Ranma says, fearfully, "I hate c-ca-ca-cats!" When Kuwabara picks up Pharaoh and he says, getting near Ranma with him, "Is it that bad?"

Ranma yells out, fearfully, "Get that thing away from me! Get it away! Get it away! Get that thing away from me, you stupid jerk!" Hotaru then comes behind Kuwabara and whacks him on the head with her Power Pole and she yells at him, annoyed, "You idiot! Don't get him anywhere near Ranma or else his fear of cats will reach his breaking point!" Hotaru yanks Pharaoh away from Kuwabara and walks away while her brother is still shaking in fear behind our former spirit detective.

Ranma says, fearfully, "Oh man! I hate c-ca-cats!"

Yusuke tells Ranma, plainly, "You do realize that Pharaoh is gone."

Naruto says, with a smile, "Ranma is always like that whenever a cat gets anywhere near him, Yusuke. Just let it die over."

Yusuke says, in a slightly annoyed tone, "Man, this father of his sounds like a complete asshole! I may shown a little cruelty at times, but who's be cruel enough to throw their own child into a pit of hungry cats wrapped with fish sausage from head to toe and does it over and over again just to learn a fighting technique." Nodoka then goes to Mihoshi's motionless form, puts her hands over her as they glow green, healing her wounds. When she's done, Mihoshi groans as she sits up and she says, moaning as she held her head in pain, "What happened…why do I have this nasty headache!?"

Kiyone says, with a sly smile, "Hey, rise and shine, sleepyhead!" Mihoshi looks over to Kiyone, Tenchi, Ayeka, Ryoko, and Sasami and she says, perplexed, "Kiyone? Lord Tenchi! Ryoko, Princess Ayeka! Princess Sasami! What are you guys doing in black!?"

Ryoko points at Mihoshi's white clothes and she says, with a sly smile, "Now, before you make fun of our clothes, I think that you may want to look at yourself!" Mihoshi looks down at herself and she screams out in shock.

Mihoshi yells out, shocked, "What's going here?! Why am I in this weird white uniform!?"

Sasami says, with a kind smile, "It's a long story, Mihoshi, but we're glad that you're back!" Mihoshi gains a confused facial expression.

(Within the 'White Dorm'; at the same time)

Within the main hallway in the 'White Dorm', we find our heroes' and heroines' 'former' friends/allies and family member assumed there while talking about what had happened.

Temari says, in a cold serious tone, "Okay, now, I know for sure that the nonbelievers have a spy within our Society!"

Akane says, in a cold plain tone, "But how? Master Sartorius told us that there's not a spy within our dorm and everyone's cleared."

Keigo says, in a cold serious tone, "Maybe, that darkness the nonbelievers have is so tricky that someone like Master Sartorius couldn't detect it!"

Andrew says, curiously, "I don't know, guys! I mean it could be all a coincidence that the nonbelievers are getting the upper hand!"

Alexis says, in a cold serious tone, "No way, Andrew! It's more than a coincidence! We're probably being watched somewhere by someone from the nonbelievers' side. What we plan may end up being a part of one of the nonbelievers' plans to get us into the darkness. Which is why we need to be careful on what and how are we going to deal with the nonbelievers!"

Akane says, in a cold serious tone, "And with Hotaru with the nonbelievers, she'll predict every one of our moves since she's always two steps ahead of everyone else!" Just then a group of gasps come from some of the other SOL members in the room.

Alexis yells out, in a cold annoyed tone, "What are those dorks gawking at now?!" When the group looks at the direction that the gasps came from, they are surprised to see Yusuke's face on the big screen television in the room.

Billy yells out, shocked, "It's Yusuke!"

Alexis calls out, in a cold annoyed tone, "What does he want now?!"

Yusuke calls out from the television, with a dark sly smile, "Hello, white geeks, this is your Vice-Chancellor Yusuke Urameshi and I'd like to announce that your fellow Society member has lost a Shadow Duel!" The SOL members gasps in shock and gave Yusuke cold angered glares and Yusuke says, with a dark sly smile, "Your fellow white dorks actually put up a good fight, but it wasn't good enough!"

Billy says, in shock, "Mihoshi, lost!"

Alexis says, in a cold angered growl, "That jerk!"

Yusuke says, with a dark sly smile, "I'm sorry, geeks, but there's no way that you'll ever get us wearing white since we're outsmarting you white-clad losers! Better luck next time, NOT!!" Then, the screen went off, leaving the SOL members with flabbergasted looks on their faces.

Eri says, horrified, "This is bad! With two of our Galaxy Police officers, we lost any technology that we'd need other than the tasers and stun guns to defend ourselves from the nonbelievers."

Yuka says, in a cold plain tone, "Maybe, we should go to Master Sartorius and tell him about this."

Alexis says, with a nod, "Good idea, Yuka!" With that the SOL members walked towards the stairs to tell their 'master' about the recent news about the 'war'…
