An Obelisk Blue was running through the forest. His face was pale as if he had just seen a ghost.
"Help!" he cried. He kept looking over his shoulder as if he was expecting someone to appear. 'I can't believe it's happening. I can't believe it came alive… and took my friends.' He kept on running through the forest trying to find anyone who could help him. "SOMEONE! HELP!"
Hiccup and his friends were in the Slifer Dorm. All of them had decided to stay instead of going home for winter break. Hiccup and Ragnar were at a table duelling while Fishlegs reading a book called 'Duelling for Dummies', Gobber was having a chat with Banner as they prepared dinner.
"I can't believe everyone left for winter break," said Hiccup. "The campers feel so empty."
"On the bright side a lot more food for us," said Ragnar.
"Yes, you wonder why all we've been eating his marshmallows?" said Banner as he and Gobber cooked some marshmallows over a grill.
"A mystery for the ages," said Gobber.
Then all of a sudden something crashed right through the window and everyone turned to find an Obelisk Blue, who were just flung himself at the window.
"Uh… guys?" said Fishlegs looking down on the Obelisk.
Hiccup helped the Obelisk up and once all the fear on his face. "You look like you've seen a ghost."
"I-I have," said the Obelisk.
Hiccup blinked. "Come again?"
"Jinzo! The duelling card!" the Obelisk cried.
"Gobber, Banner you might want to call the school nurse," said Hiccup as everyone approached the Obelisk.
"I know you," said Banner. "Your name is Olaf. You in my para duelling class."
"Yeah, that's right Professor Banner and everything you said was right about Duel Spirts being real and—it's all true," said Olaf clutching Banner's leg.
"Better make that the school therapist," said Ragnar.
"Just calm down, Olaf, and tell me everything that happened from the very beginning," said Banner calmly.
"Yes Professor," said Olaf. "A while back I told some of my friends about class and how under certain conditions Duel Spirts could come to life. Well, we started to try and create those conditions. Even though we knew the Academy for bids it."
"For good reason," said Gobber. "We do not want a repeat of what happened at the Abandoned Dorm."
"Anyway, we did a couple of times a nothing ever happened," Olaf continued. "Until yesterday. Maybe it was because we used our bed sheets as cloaks or took bath candles from the girl's dorm, but anyway this time something was different. You see we all put our hand on a mystic box said the chant and it happened. The mystic box began to spell out 'give me three and I'll be free.'" He looked up at Banner. "We thought he meant cards."
"Oh, dear me, no. Jinzo's appetite would never be satiated with mere cards," said Banner. "This is just awful."
Fishlegs looked extremely nervous. "Wait, what did the three main, Olaf?"
Hiccup had a pretty good idea and Olaf confirmed his suspicion. "It meant people."
"People?"
"Yes, and unfortunately we had agreed… before we knew better," said Olaf.
"So, your friends—"
"They're both gone," Olaf explained. "I've looked everywhere, but it's like they just vanished into thin air. First it was Sven and then Agnar. And I know is just going too been me next."
Fishlegs backed away quivering uncontrollably. Hiccup and Ragnar on the other hand is exchanged looks.
"You sure they just didn't go home for winter break, Olaf?" Hiccup asked hopefully.
"I hoped, but I called their parents and they didn't know where they were," said Olaf. Gobber and Banner exchange grim looks. "I doubt they can make it home anyway, after all I tried to leave the island. But couldn't… you see what I got to the ferry there he was in a trench coat, his face hidden away by a scarf and hat… waiting for me."
He then began to shiver uncontrollably. "There's no escape."
Then all of a sudden the entire room went dark. They then heard a girlish scream followed by Pharaoh hissing.
"What was that?" Fishlegs' voice cried.
"I don't know, but would you kindly get off my back, Legs" said Ragnar, who was struggling to support both his and Fishlegs weight. "It could have just been a fuse."
"Or a lightbulb," said Banner.
"Or maybe it was me," said a cyber like voice.
They all turned and found the ghostly figure of Jinzo, who was indeed wearing a trench coat, scarf and hat. They nearly jumped out of their skin when they saw him and then they notice under his arms was unconscious Olaf.
"Let him go, Jinzo," Hiccup warned.
"We had a deal," said Jinzo, before he ran off.
"Not if we can stop you," said Ragnar as the old chased after Jinzo.
They chased Jinzo through the forest, but they lost him.
"Great, we've lost him," said Hiccup.
"Maybe we can go back to the dorm where it's nice and safe," Fishlegs offered.
"No," said Hiccup looking around for Jinzo.
Then they noticed Pharaoh's hair sticking up on end and hissing at a nearby bush.
"Pharaoh? What's wrong?" Banner asked.
"I think sense him," said Ragnar.
"Well, only one way to find out," said Hiccup running right where Pharaoh was pointing.
"I was afraid you'd say that," said Fishlegs following after him.
They soon found themselves in what looked like us very small powerplant.
"What is this place?" Fishlegs asked.
"This is the central power station for the entire island," said Gobber.
"But I don't see Jinzo anywhere," said Banner.
"Well, I see Olaf," said Hiccup pointing at Olaf's unconscious body. He then made his way over to it. "Don't worry we're coming."
The electricity shot out from the generators blocking Hiccup's path to Olaf. Then they saw a holographic form of Jinzo appearing right in front of them.
"You leave him alone," said Jinzo.
"Jinzo?" Fishlegs gasped hiding behind Ragnar.
"What's going on, Professors?" Ragnar asked looking at Banner and Gobber. "How is Jinzo appearing like that?"
"It is the electricity," said Gobber.
"He's using the coming to power himself up, he is a clever one," said Banner twitching in pain as Pharaoh's claws dug into him.
"Let Olaf go Jinzo," Hiccup demanded. "Beginning a third sacrifice so bad well then…" He paused for a brief moment. "Then just take me instead."
"Hiccup what are you doing?" Ragnar yelled.
"You do admit more vitality than this human," said Jinzo thoughtfully. He then looked at Hiccup. "I'll take you up on your offer."
"Fine, but on one condition though," said Hiccup. "You and I duel. If you win you take my life energy, but I win and you give back the other two you took."
"A duel?" said Jinzo. "Very well, I should be able to be sustained by this electrical limbo long enough for a match." Suddenly electricity began to dance around them. "First I'll beat you, then I'll consume you."
"Yeah, well see," said Hiccup slamming his deck into his Duel Disk and activating it. "Now bring it on, Jinzo."
Jinzo: 4000
Hiccup: 4000
Hiccup drew his hand from his Duel Disk, but Jinzo instead was playing with holographic cards that were appearing thanks electrical field around them.
"Yes, let's," said Jinzo looking at his hand as his first card appeared. "First, I summon Malice Doll of Demise in attack mode." They watched as a creepy looking doll with an axe in its hand appeared on his side of the field. (ATK: 1600/ DEF: 1700)
"And next I activate the spell card Ectoplasmer." A spell card appeared on Jinzo's side of the field. "This fiendish spirit allows each player to sacrifice one monster at the end of their turn. Then half of that monsters attack points are dealt to the opposing player as damage."
Hiccup watched as Jinzo put it to action. A spirit of shot out of Malice's body and then flew straight towards Hiccup and he felt himself getting weaker when he got hit by it.
Jinzo: 4000
Hiccup: 3200
"Oh no, Hiccup is already falling behind," said Fishlegs.
Hiccup looked up at Jinzo and turns the tension on the Ectoplasmer card. 'That a continuous spell card, here we use it's magic every turn. But then so will I.'
"All right, it's my turn," said Hiccup as he drew. He looked at his hand and it wasn't the best. "Only one monster, but it'll have to do. I summon Dragon Knight Barf in attack mode." Barf appeared on his side of the field. (ATK: 1200/ Def: 1200) "And thanks to a special ability I get to add Dragon Knight Belch to my hand as well."
Hiccup began to look through his deck and placed Belch in his hand. "Next I'll play three cards facedown the field," said Hiccup as three facedown cards appeared in front of him. "Now, Barf attack his life points directly!"
Barf ran towards Jinzo and punching straight through the chest and he roared in agony.
Jinzo: 2800
Hiccup: 3200
"And now I'm going to use your spell card against you, because due to the effect of Ectoplasmer I have to sacrifice Barf and give another punch of your life points," said Hiccup as Barf's spirit exited from his body.
Barf's spirit then punched Jinzo making them lose even more life points.
Jinzo: 2200
Hiccup: 3200
"That's the spirit!" Fishlegs cried. "I mean that's the way you be the spirit… I mean… ah, you know."
"Looks like that Ectoplasmer card of yours is doing more damage to you than me," Hiccup smirked.
"For now, said Jinzo as it can't materialise in front of him. "After all, since Malice Doll of Demise were sent to the graveyard due to the effect of a spell card, he automatically resurrects." They watched as Malice appeared in front of Jinzo.
"Speaking of spell cards, I'll activate one of my own Emergency Provisions," said Hiccup revealing one of his facedown cards. "Now all I have to do is destroy one of my facedown is and I gave 1000 light points."
In one of his facedown cards was turned to pixels of his life points began to increase.
Jinzo: 2200
Hiccup: 4200
"Oh, and since the card I destroyed was Dragon Knight Emblem, I get a look through my deck and add a Dragon Knight and place in my hand." Hiccup began to look through his deck. "And I choose Dragon Knight Torch."
"Nice, not only was able to increase his life points, but thanks to that combo he to add another monster to his hand," said Ragnar.
"I summon Emissary of the Afterlife in attack mode," said Jinzo as someone representing the Grim Reaper appeared on his field. (ATK: 1600/ DEF: 600)
"Though, he he could have done by putting some defence up," said Ragnar.
"And since you have no monsters out, I can rage a direct attack! Sickle Slasher!" Jinzo commanded.
"Not so fast, I play Dragon Knight Reinforcements," said Hiccup revealing his trap card. "Now I get a look at the top card of my deck and if it's a monster I summon it." Hiccup draw his card and smiled. "And guess what it is. So I summon Dragon Knight Hookfang in attack mode!"
Hookfang appeared on the field swinging his mace like a maniac. (ATK: 1600/ DEF: 1000)
However, Jinzo didn't stop the attack and both Hookfang and Emissary were destroyed.
"Foolish mortal, by sending Emissary to the graveyard his special effect is activated, now each of us can take a monster from our decks and place them in our hand and I choose Thousand-eye Idol," said Jinzo.
Hiccup however wasn't looking for his deck.
"Why in the adding a monster?" Fishlegs asked.
"Because Emissary's ability only allows him to add a level 3 or below Normal Type Monster," said Gobber.
"Yeah, and Hiccup doesn't have any normal monsters in his deck," said Ragnar.
"Now to continue with my turn," said Jinzo looking down at his only remaining monster. "And Malice Doll's attack. Go Cleaver Hever!"
Malice's hatchet went straight through Hiccup almost making him topple over.
Jinzo: 2200
Hiccup: 2600
"And don't forget the magic of Ectoplasm," said Jinzo as he sacrificed Malice once again.
Jinzo: 2200
Hiccup: 1800
"Have this duel was an excellent idea," said Jinzo. "It's much better to enjoy something slowly rather than taking it all at once."
Hiccup just gave him a puzzled look.
"Hiccup, your legs the fading," said Fishlegs pointing.
Hiccup looked down and saw that most of his lower body was fading. "What's happening?"
"I'm collecting on our deal," said Jinzo. "You've lost half your life points, so I'm taking have your life force and it feels good."
"There's no way I'm going to let you take me, Jinzo," said Hiccup as he drew his next card. "I'll duel to the end. I activate my Polymerization spell card and fuse together both Dragon Knight Torch and Fanghook. In order to summon Dragon Knight Archer!"
Then Torch and a warrior that resembled Hookfang only, he was shorter and had purple and yellow armour. The two young warriors fuse together and formed a warrior with red and purple dragon-like armour with a bow in his hand and a quiver strapped to his back. (ATK: 1800/ DEF: 1200)
"And he has a special ability. Usually once per turn I'm able to destroy one spell or trap card on my opponent's side of the field and I get to draw an extra card," said Hiccup. "So you can say goodbye to your Ectoplasm."
Archer then end his bow at the Ectoplasm spell card and fired an arrow and it shattered into pixels and Hiccup drew his extra card.
"Nice, now Hiccup won't keep taking damage from Jinzo sacrificing his cards," said Ragnar.
"Now, it's time for Archer to attack you directly. Go Dragon Fire Arrow!" Hiccup commanded.
Archer drew another arrow from his quiver and aimed it straight towards Jinzo. Then the tip was set on fire and relaunched it straight at him.
Jinzo: 800
Hiccup: 1800
Ragnar and the others cheered as Jinzo's life points when down.
"You're lucky you then had a body for that one," said Hiccup. He then picked his Draining Shield trap card. "Now I'll play a facedown and end my turn."
"My draw," said Jinzo and it can't materialise in front of him. It was impossible to tell from his expression, because of his mask, but Hiccup swore he was smiling. "And I couldn't ask for a better one. With this card my resurrection is all the closer."
"What card?" Hiccup demanded.
Jinzo just laughed. "I activate Malice Doll's special ability and re-summon him," he said as Malice appeared in front of him. Next second he began to fade. "But only so I can sacrifice him in order to conjure… Jinzo!"
Suddenly Jinzo vanished and electricity sparked everywhere and then about of lightning hitting on the ground. Then appearing in front of them was Jinzo himself. (ATK: 2400/ DEF: 1500)
"You've gotta be kidding me," said Hiccup. "You can't just draw yourself."
"I just did and now I can attack you personally," said Jinzo as a orb of energy appeared in his hand. "Cyber Energy Shock! Destroy the Archer!"
The orb slammed into Archer and he was destroyed instantly.
Jinzo: 800
Hiccup: 1200
Hiccup noticed that his body was faded from the waist down now and Jinzo just laughed. "Your next."
"This is bad," said Ragnar. "With Jinzo out on the field all his traps are useless."
"All right, it's my move," said Hiccup as he drew. "And I summon Dragon Knight Belch in defence mode." Belch then appeared on the field in a defence position. (ATK: 1200/ DEF: 1200). "And with that I'll end my turn."
"That's it?" said Fishlegs. "But that's hardly a defence."
"There again is not much he can do not with Jinzo on the field," said Ragnar. "It could be that he's waiting for something."
"Ready for more pain?" Jinzo asked as his next car materialised in front of him. "I summon Spirt Caller in attack mode."
Then a man in a robe appeared on the field. (ATK: 1000/ DEF: 1000)
'Here it comes," Hiccup thought brace himself for the attack.
"And then I'll attack your knight with Cyber Energy Shock!" Jinzo roared as he fired another orb of energy at Belch. Belch was instantly destroyed. "Now Spirit Caller will attack you directly. Go, Breath from Beyond!"
Spirit Caller's eyes then turned red and he opened his mouth which was for fangs and send a powerful raw straight at Hiccup.
Hiccup roared in pain as his life points dropped.
Jinzo: 800
Hiccup: 200
Now his body was fading from the neck down.
"Hiccup isn't looking too good," said Fishlegs.
"He can't take another hit," said Ragnar.
"Finally, I'll acquit myself with the spell card Amplifier," said Jinzo as a metal dome appeared on his head. "With this, I'm not bound by my own special ability any longer. Now I can use any trap card I please. So, I'm certain you can guess what this facedown might be."
They watched as a facedown card appeared behind Jinzo.
"This is bad," said Ragnar. "Now Hiccup is behind points, monsters and traps too."
"Your demise is imminent," said Jinzo.
"I don't think so," said Hiccup as he drew his card. "But I'll play my Pot of Greed, which allows me to draw two extra cards." Hiccup drew his two cards, they want exactly what he needed, but they can buy him some time. "Okay, now I play Dragon Knight Scaldy in attack mode!" The water knight then appeared on the field. (ATK: 800/ DEF: 1100). "And next give a bit more power with Dragon Knight Crossbow! The monster equipped with this get is attack points doubled." Scaldy grabbed the crossbow and aimed it at Jinzo's field. (ATK: 800-1600)
"And now I have attack your Spirit Caller with Rapidfire Arrow Head!" Hiccup yelled.
Scaldy aimed the crossbow and fired several arrows at Spirit Caller. Each and every single one of them landed their mark on the monster and he exploded.
"Well done," said Jinzo. "By destroying Spirit Caller you walked right into my trap!" Then the facedown behind Jinzo revealed itself. "Spirit Barrier! This keeps me from taking damage as long there is a monster on my field and in case you forgot there is… me."
"You're still just phantom to me," said Hiccup. 'Though I am up to my neck in trouble, literally.'
"Now that turn was pathetic," said Jinzo. "Almost has perfected as I'm gonna make your knight look."
Jinzo then blasted Scaldy with an orb of energy and it was destroyed instantly. However, Hiccup's life points in change.
"What happened?" Jinzo demanded.
"Guess I forgot to mention when the monster equipped with Dragon Knight Crossbow is attacked all I have to do is send my equipped spell to the graveyard and I take no damage."
"That buys you one turn," said Jinzo.
"And that's all I need," said Hiccup as he drew his card.
"How come your opponent seemed to get uglier and uglier?" Toothless asked as he appeared behind Hiccup.
"I don't know, dumb luck?" said Hiccup.
Jinzo looked surprised to see Toothless. "A spirit?"
"He's a friend first and a spirit second," said Hiccup. "Which probably explains why he doesn't need to snack on human souls in order to maintain its presence on the living world."
"Yeah, human souls are so disgusting," said Toothless.
Hiccup narrowed his eyes at him. "You're not helping." He then turned her attention on Jinzo. "Okay, now I play Dragon Knight Charity!" He revealed a spell card showing several Dragon Kinght, including Toothless, Stormfly and an unknown one giving food out to children. "Now since I have more than Five Dragon Knight's in my graveyard I get a draw three cards, but if I don't play any of them I take 500 point of damage for each one I didn't use."
"What could he be thinking?" Fishlegs asked.
"Like I said he's looking for something," said Ragnar then his eyes widened. "And I think I may know what that is."
Hiccup drew his three cards and nodded. "Now I send Dragon Knight's Stormfly and Meatlug to the Graveyard! This allows me to summon Dragon Knight Skull!"
Then suddenly appearing on the field was a feeble looking man with long brown hair. He wasn't even wearing any armour, the only thing he was wearing was a loincloth, in fact was a wonder that he could actually stand. (ATK: 0/ DEF: 0)
"No attack points?" said Jinzo. "Are you trying to lose on purpose?"
"No, because while he starts out weak, he gained 300 attack points and defence points for every Dragon in the graveyard," said Hiccup. "Oh, and in case you didn't know all Dragon Knight are considered Dragons while in the Graveyard."
"No!" Jinzo yelled.
Then suddenly the spirits of Hiccup's fallen Dragon Knight appeared behind Skull. Then suddenly their essence seeped into Skull and they were blinded by a blight glow. When the glow faded they found Skull standing there in grey dragon-like armour that resembled bones. (ATK: 0-2400/ DEF: 0-2400)
"Okay, they're even now," said Gobber.
"But it will be enough," said Fishlegs.
"Wait, Hiccup still had one card in his hand," said Ragnar.
"I now activate Dragon Knight Armour!" Hiccup yelled showing a card which had a picture of Dragon Knight Windshear wearing Stormfly's armour. "Now all I have to do is look for my deck and send one Dragon Knight to the grave and then Skull gains its name and special abilities and I choose Dragon Knight Toothless."
"No!" Jinzo yelled.
"That's right and since I said another Dragon to the graveyard Skull gets a power boost," said Hiccup.
Skull began to glow. (ATK: 2400-2700/ DEF: 2400-2700)
"And since he has Toothless' powers now whenever you destroy the monster you take damage equal to that monsters attack points," said Hiccup. They watched as the spirit of Toothless entered into Skull.
"It can't be?" said Jinzo.
"I'm afraid it is, now Skull attack Jinzo with Dragon Bone Sword!" Hiccup commanded.
Skull raised his sword that looked as if it was made of dragon bone. He then charged at Jinzo and brought his sword down upon him.
Jinzo: 500
Hiccup: 200
With the monster card gone, Jinzo was now back to an electrical hologram.
"And don't forget he has Toothless power which means 2400 point of damage are coming your way!"
Jinzo looked up just in time to see Skull raising the palm of his hand before covering him in flames. Jinzo screamed in agony as the last of his points dropped to zero.
Jinzo: 0
Hiccup: 200 (Winner)
Then suddenly Jinzo began to glow as a large dome of energy consumed them all and then everything went black.
When Hiccup opened his eyes he found it was morning and found the others were beginning to stir.
"What happened?" said Ragnar rubbing his head.
"I say it's all over," said Hiccup noticing to other bodies next to Olaf, who had to be his friends that Jinzo took.
"They're all back safe and sound," said Banner in a sigh of relief.
"You think they know what happened?" Fishlegs asked.
"Probably be best if they forgot," said Hiccup.
"He's right," said Ragnar. "Duel Spirits aren't just real they're dangerous."
"Probably be best if we let them sleep it off," said Gobber. "Only when they wake up they'll just think it was all a dream."
"Well, I don't know about you guys, but I'm starving," said Hiccup rubbing his stomach.
They then headed back to the dorm in order to enjoy the rest of their winter break.
