The Music starts playing as the scene goes over a moonlit sea. Over the water soar Elemental Hero Avian, Elemental Hero Clayman and Elemental Hero Burstinarix. They take to the air slying over Jayden. The scene then focuses on Jayden who is wearing his Slifer Red uniform and also wearing his duel disk. In his right hand he is holding four cards. The then turns to his left holding his left hand in a fist looking determined. Out from behind him appears Syrus in a similar position, then Bastion with his arms crossed and finally Hakuno appears looking forwards while scratching the back of his head with a slightly embarrassed look on his face.
"Chilling' out with the crew in the school yard,"Jayden is scene amongst a background of face up cards. His right hand is pointed forward with his index and middle finger uncurled while his left hand is bent upwards from his waist in a fist. The Scen fades out showing Jayden and Hakuno sitting on a small stone statue reviewing their duel cards.
"Finding' trouble, never looking too hard." Pegasus is seen sitting seated his knowing smile in place on his features. The scene switches to Hakuno holding two cards up. Enlarged version of those cards appear up with before they shine brightly revealing Lancer (Red) and Archer (Robin Hood) behind Hakuno. Lancer has a silver spear out behind here and Archer is in his green cloak with a wooden bow his hand already with an arrow notched.
"Well back at class, they never taught us this," The scene briefly shifts to a view of the Moon Cell classroom and then to one of Duel Academy's classrooms. The scene changes again to See Launcher facing off off with his spear against someone who looks almost identical with their two spears clashing creating a massive explosion with Hakuno and a White haired man with a red cape and priest clothes behind the respective Heroic Spirits
"Some things you gotta learn, hit or miss." Gilgamesh is now shown with thousand of golden Portals behind him every Treasure that can be utilised as weapon coming out from within them as he unleashes the gate of Babylon with an excited smile on his face.

Behind him is a massive metallic figure that is black with red trim from it's back are two dragon heads with violet Rubies on them Thus us Arcana Force EX – The Light Ruler. With his back to the camera in a Ra yellow uniform Hakuno is seen confronting these two
"We'll take 'em on together." Hakuno is then scene from the front as he blinks and looks to either side of him. Standing next to him is Jayden, Bastion, Chazz, Alexis, Syrus, Hassleberry, Zane and Aster as they activate their own duel disks and prepare to face what is ahead of them together.
"Right now, let's go!" The scene now shows the Duel Academy and then focuses on the sea as Saber, Caster and Archer burst out from underneath it and take to the sky. Jayden is now shown in a greenish background with his hand right hand pointing with to fingers towards himself and the points towards the area in front of him.
"Yu-Gi-Oh! CCC, Extra Triple C!" The scne now shows Aster with several of his Destiny HERO's behind him., It then Changes again to Show Alexis with Several Cyber Angel, Syrus is then seen with a few veichroids, Before Chazz is shown with with the Ojamas and XYZ Dragon Cannon behind him. Jayden is shown with with Winged Kuriboh and Elemental HERO Neos beside him, finally Hakuno is seen with Gilgamesh and Karna standing behind him the former has his arms crossed while the latter is standing in his armour with his back to the scene looking over his shoulder.
"Game on, get your game on," Hassle Berry is seen raising his right hand before pointing down in front of him, his face determined. Bastion is then scene with Water Dragon appearing to his right and Fire Dragon appearing on his left.
"Come on you better play your cards right." Hakuno is seen showing the Moon Cell Summoning Circle Card with Berserker (Lu Bu) appearing behind him looking intimidating holding God Force in it's Halber form in his hand. Lancer also appears at Hakuno's left holding Gáe Bolg with both his hands. Rider is also there at Hakuno's right wielding her two pistols at the ready with a grin on her features. But not one that is half as mad or as blood thirsty as the one on Lancer's face.
"Game on, get your game on," Zane is shown with his arms crossed, Cyber End dragon appearing behind him. Alexis is seen placing a Card own on her Duel disk. Etoile Cyber appears at her right, Blade Skater is seen manifesting behind Alexis slightly to her left. On the Far left in front of Alexis Cyber Blader appears
"We'll make the grade and win this fight." Jayden is seen before Alexis, Bastion, Syrus and Hassleberry pop up in front of him smiling happily Jayden then pops up in front of them with a big cheesy grin on his face. Bastion, Chazz, Jaydenn Alexis, Syrus, Hassleberr, Hakuno and the rest of the Slifer Red Dorm are seen raising a singly of their arms in the air with a clenched fist as they all cheer.
The Music play showing Cyber end Dragon about to fire a blue energy blast from all three of it's heads. The scene then slides to Flare Wingman blasting with his own Dragon head. The scene then shows Iskander on the Gordius Wheel charging foreward. Panther Warrior is then seen making a downwards slash before Black Tyranno appears charging head first in for the kill. Archer is shown leaping towards the ground Kanshou and Bakuya in each arm as he performs three winged crane realm. Spark man is then seen with jolts of electricity sparking from all around him. Ojama King is shown with his arms spread wide his hands making the 'peace' symbol.

Lastly Gilgamesh is seen topless holding Ea in one hand with Enkidu wrapped around the other as Golden portals appear behind him as he utilises the Gate of Babylon.
"We'll make the grade somehow." Bonaparte is seen raising his open palm forwards like a command to attack. Aster is then scene drawing a card as he shouts revealing it. it.
"Yeah!" Jayden is seen punching forward as he grits his teeth.
"Yu-Gi-Oh CCC!" Hakuno is shown standing alone as his eyes begin to glow red with a golden aura forming around him that sends his hair wild.
"Game on, get your game on," Syrus is seen revealing his card as he grits his teeth. Hasslberry is shown bringing his hand a determined look on his face
"Come on you better play your cards right." Bastoin is seen revealing his six decks an excited look on his face as he places one in. alexis is shown gritting her teeth as she draws a card.
"Come on and get your game on!" Jayden is seen raising his arm as the waves crash about him before the scene freezes and fades away.
"For seventeen long centuries have I remained in this blade, confined within these metal walls. During all of my time of imprisonment you are the first I have seen who is worthy to bear me into battle. Come, take my hilt, and I will serve you in the manner of my kind, drawing blood of your enemies, protecting you in the midst of the fight, bringing you safely home again. Now, draw me from the scabbard and test the fineness of my balance. See how easily I swing, how my keen edge cleaves the air. A good choice, am I not? Willingly you picked me up. Your first mistake. Willingly you drew me. Your second mistake. I do not allow my servants to make three mistakes, foolish mortal…" — A Daemon Weapon reveals itself to its new bearer
"So you basically know just about what we found out from Aster" Alexis stated as they sat in the headmaster's room with Pegasus Maximillion since he had brought all of them there after Hakuno's duel with the youth named Lorenzo.
"I'm afraid so" Pegasus admitted "Kaiba and I have been monitoring his moments for a little while now, still he can only be on the path to global domination of one kind or another." Pegasus gave a sigh "I can't help but ask if there is ay villain out there that isn't after something that cliched, that as been attempted at least several times in the last two decades." It seemed Pegasus was rather experienced when it came to dealing with these threats.
"Better something we know how to counter than something we have no knowledge of" Seto Kaiba stated as he appeared on the screen "It appears Sartorius has made his opening moves" the Owner of Kaiba Corp stated.
"You are right in this case Kaiba boy" Pegasus agreed irritating Kaiba with his way of addressing the man. "It seems that Sartorius is going to attempt to turn Duel Academy and use it as his base of operations. This won't be his only attempt."
"In that case we can only prepare for eventualities" Kaiba stated with finality. "Sartorius himself will attempt to come and take Duel Academy by force himself." It seemed Kaiba had this well thought out. "As you know Duel Academies unique location is rather isolated so no doubt he will be trying to access it so that he may continue his plans were no one can interfere" Kaiba's tone suggested that he was not in the least bit pleased with this fact, not one bit.
"A rather grim prospect Kaiba boy" Pegasus agreed. "Do you suppose that we should contact Chancellor Shepard and warn him of this new development?" the owner of Industrial Illusions asked even though he already knew Kaiba's answer.
"Why should we contact someone as incompetent as him?" Kaiba challenged "During the Shadow Rider crisis he didn't even inform anyone who could have actually helped the situation. Instead he thrust the responsibility of it onto his students and that incompetent man named Crowler" Kaiba definitely had a poor view of Shepard in that regard, but then again so would most people with any form of common sense. "No We deal with this, if things get out of hand we'll have to contact Yugi, but until then we deal with this ourselves as Moto is already on standby however if Sartorius is on Duel Academy Island it can make monitoring his activities all the more easier" Kaiba did have a point "Also we can contain the damage that fool is bound to cause by keeping him and his puppets on the island, the only problem is having to keep the students from harms way and more importantly Sartorius's." It seemed that the two of home had been planning if a situation like this arose.
"My, my" Pegasus began "I never knew you cared Kaiba boy" he stated. "Still you pose a good argument though we both know that he is obsessed with trying to recruit Jayden for his cause, though I get the feeling that he will start to target the other students first so he can build up his forces." The owner of Industrial Illusions and the creator of the modern Duel Monster System definitely was concerned about this fact. Enough for him to get serious at any rate.
"We could place a ban on duelling any persons wearing white uniforms" Kaiba suggested "That could slow the process down, we should also inform all of the teachers here of the situation."
"That would work" Pegasus agreed "though I'm sure there are a few who would not listen the Obelisk Blues in general." It seemed that the owner of Industrial Illusions had touched a nerve with Kaiba there. Most likely it was intentional
"Enough of reminding me of that embarrassment" he complained. "While Yugi was forgiving for it, there were several others who were not" Seemed that when Kaiba had made Duel Academy there were a few who did not agree with his choice to discredit Yugi by naming the lowest dorm after his Egyptian God card. "Besides I'm ashamed to have people like them call themselves elite and act like me." Vanity was also another reason for Kaiba's behaviour.
"Still I must say that you have a good argument there" Pegasus stated "Though at this point given the way Sartorius is drawing his brainwashed Duelists I say having some of the student being brainwashed along with an instructor or two is inevitable" it seemed that the white haired one eyed man was rather displeased with this fact. "Still I see no reason not to warn the student of this, though we can leave the brainwashing part out."
"Agreed" Kaiba stated "By the way do you care to explain why those eight are with you here?" Seto Kaiba asked noticing Jayden and the others for the first time, his calculating gaze falling briefly on Hakuno Kishinami.
"Well as you know I was too late to prevent Lorenzo from duelling Kishinami boy so I decided to bring them here to debrief them and give them a rundown of what we know Kaiba boy" Pegasus explained not in the leas bit apologetic.
Kaiba snorted "Well there is nothing we can do about that now, given the fact that Sartorius is obsessed with brainwashing Jayden Yuki over there he in the very least has the right to know." he then paused as if remembering something that wasn't too important "oh by the way boy congratulations on winning that card designing tournament I held several years ago, put them to good use" Kaiba finished his sentence rather unexpectedly.
Everyone except Pegasus was surprised by this, it was not every day that the legendary rival to the King of Games complimented you. "Wow, sir" Jayden began "I'm, I'm honoured beyond words." he stated.
"Foolishness aside, I want all of you to be extremely careful about this Society of light Sartorius has" Kaiba instructed all of them. "Only duel a member if you have no other choice, even then don't lose. I don't care what it takes just avoid losing, even if you have to cheat to do so" he informed them. With this Kaiba cut the link and the screen blanked out leaving it black showing that it was no longer in use.
"Well that was different to what I expected the head of Kaiba corp to be like" Alexis stated a little shaken up by what they had just experienced.
"That" Bastion Misawa began "is definitely an understatement" he finally managed. The Ra Yellow seemed to be serious "not only is the man aware of what is transpiring here in Duel Academy, Seto Kaiba is also working to prevent it from even transpiring failing that at least minimising the damage it causes." It seemed bastion had a hard time believing this as he then said as much "I never would have thought that he was the type to actually care about the fate of the world."
"You could be forgiven for that misconception Misawa boy" Pegasus informed him. "Seto Kaiba is genuinely as he is portrayed as, but Kaiba will also not allow anyone else to make the hard choices as he views that as his responsibility, therefore he views having to stop Sarotrius has his job and would rather have you not involved as an adult forcing children or youths barely adults to solve the worlds problems is a bit much."
"Well Pegasus Sensei" Hakuno began "What do we do now?" the Former NPC asked he had been paying full attention to the conversation between Pegasus and Kaiba "Kaiba sama stated that Sartorius was gathering his followers and is most likely going to attempt to assault Duel Academy" the victor of Moon Cell stated. "How should we as student prepare?" he asked, surprising Pegasus with how he was able to accept the situation better than the others.
"Kaiba Sama huh?" Pegasus thought to himself "Kaiba boy would definitely enjoy being called that for sure." Looking at Hakuno Pegasus nodded "While at the moment there is not much you can do short of murder Kishinami boy and that is against the law in and morally wrong on so many levels" Pegasus noted how Hakuno gave the subtlest signs that the was actually considering that course of action, this greatly disturbed the owner of Industiral Illusions and strongly pointed that Hakuno was experience in the Shadow Duels. "I would suggest that if you were forced into a duel with one of these members of the society of light, that you win as it seems to free them of Sartorius's mind control or brainwashing."
"Thank you Sensei" Hakuno thanked Pegasus with a polite bow "As always you are wise and you are kind" he complimented Pegasus while being genuine about it, something that the creator of the modern Duel Monster System was unused to.
"Your welcome Kishinami boy" Pegasus replied, while he was unused to it he definitely did enjoy it. Also he had the realised that Hakuno was just following the norm for regular Japanese students. Something not seen on Duel Academy. "Still you should return to your respective dorms for now your your friend Chazz's extension" Pegasus suggested he needed to contact Kaiba of this development as to Hakuno's character.
Well thanks Headmaster" Jayden said still scratching the back of his head sheepishly. With that the lot of them left to go to Chazz's attachment to the Slifer Red dorm, no doubt to discuss the situation amongst themselves.
A little while after they had left Pegasus contacted Kaiba pulling the Duelist up on the screen again "What is it old man?" Kaiba asked "I thought we had finished discussing matters for now."
"We had, however there is something that I noticed that should be brought to your attention" Pegasus answered. "It is about Hakuno Kishinami's character" he stated.
Seto Kaiba's eyes narrowed "continue" he instructed as he was also eager to unravel the mystery that the boy presented "I'm listening."
"When I made the odd comment on that the only option they had to stop Sartorius for the moment was to murder him Kishinami boy seemed to consider the option weighing both the pros and cons of such an action."
"I don't see the problem" Kaiba stated "I myself would also weigh what I would gain from their death against what I would lose." It seemed Kaiba had misunderstood.
"Ah Kaiba boy you misunderstand" Pegasus informed him "while you would weigh them against each other you would never do it under duress with a level head." Pegasus continued his explanation "Kishinami boy seemed to consider killing Sartorius a viable solution though the hints were but the smallest and briefest I believe I saw him with the conviction to go through with such an action."
"So the boy is an experienced Shadow Duelist like we suspected all along" Kaiba stated. "Though I guess with your theories about heroes that you have been spouting that he may have been from one that was beyond our comprehension in it's brutality and viciousness" Kaiba mused "though I have a bad feeling as to how it would turn out. More importantly you stated that you suspect that Hakuno Kishinami was forced into one, from what you saw do you still believe that?"
Pegasus frowned and nodded "Yes very much so, for that brief moment his eyes were no longer that of a friendly student but more akin to that of a guardian, one who protects others but isn't afraid to get their hands dirty to do so" he explained.
"In a way that is worse than a person who just enjoys the act of ending lives" Kaiba replied. "So Hakuno is someone who would protect his friends and isn't afraid to go to the necessary lengths to do so, that makes him a very dangerous individual."
"Very troublesome indeed though I do not have the feeling that his intent is malign" Pegasus stated "Though I feel there is something odd about him, at first glance you could simply not notice anything special but if you look at him closer at the second time you can see that he definitely is not normal at all." Pegasus stated. "Not to mention that power he used in his duel against Lorenzo."
"Was it anything familiar?" Kaiba asked. He too had noticed the change in Hakuno when he duelled against Lorenzo. "Those glowing red eyes definitely looked malign" he commented.
"The power itself felt rather benevolent and liberating despite it appearing to be otherwise, other than that have never felt anything remotely similar to it's type of power before." Pegasus answered.
"At this rate we are going to have to call Yugi in and ask him for his opinion" Kaiba snarled clearly vexed by this prospect. "Still What do you suggest we do with Sartorius as it is obvious he is going to start brainwashing the student populace?"
"Other than prohibit duels between them not much though as headmaster I could expel them or place them in in-school suspension, that should limit their activities" Pegasus mused. "Still we don't know the full scope of Sartorius's power."
"If he tries anything that is too much I will come there and put an end to him myself" Kaiba stated "I will not have upstart demonically possessed soothsayers trying to take over the world."
"We can agree" Pegasus informed Kaiba with a nod. The man was serious enough that he was not using his usual add-on of 'boy' to Kaiba's name. "Still perhaps we should have anyone who would win defeat any of the possessed Duelist to prevent them from causing any more harm" the creator of the modern Duel Monster System suggested. "Though I havea feeling that we should get involved physically ourselves."
"If that time comes then so be it" Kaiba stated "I for one will not show them mercy for their transgressions" he explained. "Still is there anything else you can tell me that you couldn't in front of the Students.
"Well it's not much and I'm sure yo won't like to heart it Kaiba boy" Pegasus replied. If looks could kill Pegasus would be dead a hundred times over from the glare that Kaiba was giving him. "Okay, okay" Pegasus said "It's just that I heard that Vice Chancellor Bonaparte and former acting Chancellor Crowler came to the wrong conclusion that the reason you are so interested in Kishinami boy is that he is a distant relative of yours who you discovered, who also shares the same past as you do" Pegasus explained with his trademark smirk on his face. Kaiba's reaction sure did not disappoint Pegasus in the least.
"What!" he roared in outrage "they better start counting their days because if I find another proof of their incompetence their days will be numbered." Perhaps Kaiba was taking things a little out of proportion but then again perhaps he wasn't.
On the whole, the lot of them had gone back to Chazz's extension in the Slifer Red dorm. "So uh what do we do now?" Syrus asked feeling a little awkward with everything they had just heard. "Am I the only one who finds this whole situation a bit weird?" The light blue hired Slifer asked as he began to panic at how not relaxed or calm but definitely how serious everyone around him was being "come on anyone, please tell me one of you knows how cray this mess really is?" Syrus begged.
"At ease private" Hassleberry addressed him telling Syrus to calm down, this was not the reply the younger of the Truesdale brother's wanted "panicking will only make the situation we find ourselves in a whole lot worse" the dino-soldier explained as best he could yet it was clear from Syrus's cry of frustration that Hasslberry had not got through to him. "Soldier don't go on and shout like that we need to plan" Hasslberry tried to calm Syrus down, but it wasn't working.
"He's right Dweeb" Chazz agreed "if you continue panicking about it you won't have time to prepare not to mention that will have to pick up the slack for you." It seemed Chazz's terror tactic worked on Syrus and forced the little guy to keep quiet. It was then that three rather small but rather familiar forms appeared floating next to Chazz, fortunately only Jayden, Aster, Hakuno and Chazz himself could see the gruesome threesome. The rest were spared this pain of having to see the Ojama's.
"That's right you tell him boss" the Yellow one cheered for Chazz as the Mutant wiggled it's rear out of habit more than anything else. It's squeaky and irritating voice got on the nerves of all who heard it, all except Hakuno who could tolerate it.
"Right, on right, you are, boss" the Ojama Green added, the other Ojama floating around with it's tongue stuck out as it talked in it's own irritating voice and danced around Chazz shaking it's rear though it face Chazz as to avoid shaking it at him.
"I think I'm getting laughing cramps" the black one with the largest belly but the most bearable voice out of the three stated as he floated up and down near his brothers though not performing anything else unlike them. A blessing that Chazz was silently grateful for as the three Ojama's despite being his best comb card really got on the black jacketed Slifer's nerves more often than not. Mainly by speaking in general, but no one was going to blame Chazz for disliking those mutants voices.
It was then that a red barbed spear sailed through the air and narrowly missed Ojama Yellow who squealed with his brothers in fear for their lives. "Mongrel" Gilgamesh addressed the three mutant with malicious glee in his voice "You are not welcome in this conversation and are not needed" he informed them, the Gate of Babylon shimmering with over a hundred golden portals with weapons from every era appearing from out of them. "Filthy Mongrels" Gilgamesh sneered with genuine enjoyment at the three mutants holding each other and crying at the sight of the Gate of Babylon in force against them "Entertain me if you can!" With that said the King of Heroes once again let loose his Noble Phantasm with golden weapons soaring at the Ojama's who screamed in horror as the prototypes for the weapons of legend descended down upon them causing massive explosions only on the Duel Spirit Level. Gilgamesh's laughter could be heard through out the room echoing and manic in it's glee at the screams of the Ojamas who had fled back to wherever they were when the three of them were not annoying Chazz. Only the Ojama's knew where it was but denying Gilgamesh his entertainment was never good.
"Dude is your Duel Spirit always like this?" Aster asked Hakuno before he visibly flinched as a sword sailed bast his ear and embedded itself in the wall behind him luckily Gilgamesh still had been using it against Duel Spirits and not Humans so it wouldn't have done much harm though the thought of being impaled certainly made Aster's complexion far paler than it usually was. Which to say made him look ashen white instead of his usual colour fair colour.
"Mongrel who gave you permission to so much as gaze upon my majesty?" Gilgamesh snarled at Aster before composing himself "It seems that you do not remember out last encounter well enough" Gilgamesh stated as everyone in the room gasped as shimmering Golden portals could now be seen by everyone present not just a select few. "I feel that I must remind you dog!"the last words Gilgamesh virtually hissed and everyone could here them as a there was a flicker of Golden motes of light as the King of Heroes materialised in front of then an enraged expression on his face. "Allow me to remind you what the word Hero and Justice means" Gilgamesh hissed as the weapons proceeded to protrude out of the portals behind him.
"Whoa" Jayden said as he and the others stumbled back at seeing Gilgamesh appear "You can't just kill a guy because you don't like him" Jayden tried to reason with Gilgamesh's and earned several of the portals being aimed at him as well.
"Pretender" Gilgamesh addressed "When you have earned my respect then you may give me your opinion otherwise until then, be silent" the King of Heroes commanded in a sharp tone leaving no room for argument. Well he held them at gunpoint or to be exact Gilgamesh held everyone in this room besides Hakuno at Noble Phantasm point, not really gunpoint because well Gilgamesh had never deigned to use such weaponry before as far as Hakuno had seen that is.
"Hey Gil" Hakuno's voice cut through the tension that had built up removing it completely "perhaps you shouldn't kill anyone just yet, I am sure that there will be plenty of others who are more deserving of your wrath and displeasure" the Former NPC stated. "Also these people here are my friends" he explained "I know you have no interest in making Sartorius's job easier but if you kill them you will be helping him take a big step on his path to global domination."
Gilgamesh held Hakuno's gaze long and hard before he closed his eyes, smiled and then laughed. "It appears you are right how foolish of me" Gilgamesh stated as the Gate of Bablyon closed and disappeared behind him "I let my anger at the mongrel there who talked continuously about justice and heroes cloud my judgement" he admitted. "You have my gratitude for reminding me that I would have been aiding that mongrel and his ambition if I did kill them" with that said the King of Heroes departed turning into golden motes of light, leaving behind an extremely disturbed group of teenagers. Well all except for Syrus who had fainted and we himself at the pressure and presence Gilgamesh let loose.
"That was terrifying to say the least" Hassleberry commented "So that is what a Duel Spirit can do" the dino-soldier noted. "I'll admit upfront that I would never want to face one of them in a fight" this admission caught the others by surprise.
"I'll say" Bastion Misawa agreed "Whatever eats away at him aside it seems that Gilgamesh has taken an extreme dislike to you Aster" he addressed the white coated Duellist. "What idd you do to earn someone like that's displeasure?" he asked.
Hakuno laughed a little awkwardly at this "Well he may have been just as enraged as I was with what happened to Jayden, if not more so because of that the little speech that you gave at the end about Justice and Heroes Phoenix san" the former NPC informed Aster. "Gil is the type to hold a grudge like that." he explained with a shrug. After all Gilgamesh was and is the King of Heroes not much if anything at all could change that.
"Well it seems that you were able to convince him from turning me into swiss cheese" Aster replied "So thanks for that I guess" Aster it seemed was not one to admit his faults too much but was grateful nonetheless.
"He wouldn't have made swiss cheese out of you" Chazz stated "Gilgamesh would have left nothing behind for anyone to remember you by" the black jacketed Slifer explained. "Am I right Hakuno?" he asked the former NPC for confirmation.
Hakuno nodded "unfortunately so Princeton Sepmai" he replied before turning to face Aster. "If Gil had had his way with you Phoenix san the only thing to mark your passing would be a crater in the ground" the former NPC explained.
"It seemed a bit of over kill if you ask me" Bastion stated remembering several of the items that had come out of the Gate of Babylon "Was that a Pharaoh's Sceptre I saw back there?" he asked Hakuno.
The Former NPC rubbed the back of his head rather sheepishly "well Misawa Sempai if it counts as a treasure mainly anything that is valuable the Gil will definitely have it" Hakuno answered his fellow Ra Yellow's question.
"What would a guy like him be doing with that stuff?" Alexis asked rather interested in this topic, mainly for reasons Hakuno could not understand but he decided to answer the Obelisk Blue regardless.
"Well in life Gil did collect all the treasures of the world, Rhodes Sempai" he answered. "So it would only be natural that he would have all the treasures of the world" the Former NPC explained.
"Hey before we continue this conversation any further perhaps you could help me get the dweep off of my floor" Chazz interrupted rather irritated "Syrus chickened out so much that he passed out and wet himself."
Without another word Hassleberry picked up Syrus as Jayden went with him "We're going to have to find you a new change of clothes not to mention underwear" the brown haired Slifer said to his unconscious friend.
"Seriously" Chazz all but snarled "what a wimp, we had to deal with e Shadow Riders yet he goes and actually had to let his bladder loose over this?" he asked rhetorically, I best get soemone to clean the floor, I do not enjoy the smell" Chazz stated as he got onto the his phone after dialling a few numbers "Hello, yeah it's me, yes I need you, right now would be appreciated." with that Chazzz hung up. Turning around to the others who remained behind he said "well they'll be here in half an hour to clean this mess up and replace the carper so best get out so we don't have to smell it" he stated "Also they will take about between ten to forty minutes round about to fix and clean this place so we should stay out for a bit."
"Well I hear the store has a few items on sale" Alexis suggested. The others agreed with her as they had nothing better to do in any case, it might even be fun, though Bastion and Hakuno along with Aster seriously doubted that.
"Still we need to talk about our game plan since we are going at some point to come into conflict with Sartorius and his Society of Light" Bastion stated "Though I do suppose it would be best if all of us were present for it" he mused.
One thing you should kknow about Sartorius is that when you duel him he plays mind games with you" Aster informed him and the others. "So when you are duelling him you also will be duelling yourself at the same time."
"That is a rather disturbing development" Hakuno noted "You have my gratitude Aster san for telling us this, it is a vital piece of information" he gave a polite bow to Aster who completely flipped out surprised by this reaction.
"What no need to bow" Aster stated "I mean you're grateful an all but still not even my own fans and by that I mean the diehard one's bow" he explained attempting to regain his composure but not fully succeeding at this.
"Still Aster San it is only polite to do so" Hakuno replied. "After all I must be polite and know my manners otherwise I will appear to be rude and impolite."
"Impolite" Aster said "right" it seemed he had realised something about Hakuno's character "You really area by the book person aren't you" he said with a laugh "Still it is refreshing to have someone who is normal for a change." he stated.
The other's realised at what was so funny and even Hakuno found himself laughing at this, surprisingly he could here the Hound of Ulster Laughing at the joke too which confirmed that it had not been Gilgamesh who had fired Gáe Bolg at Aster but Lancer who had thrown it at the white haired Duelist. Still the fact that people could think he was normal was a little funny he had to admit, which was why he joined with the others as they laughed at the bad joke still it was funny.
Sartorius walked up to the stage where his Servants who he had shown the light to awaited him while they chanted his name. "Sartorius, Sartorius, Sartorius" they chanted without pause each time their voices growing louder by the second.
As Sartorius reached the top of the stage he raised a hand for silence "Thank you for your warm reception" he began "But we are all Servants equal in the eyes of the light" the blue and grey haired man explained in his usual tone with his trade mark malicious smile on his face. "As such I feel grateful that all of you answered my call." he stated "As you know we will be making our first big step into showing the world the light" Sartorius declared.
There was a roar of approval from his brainwashed Duellist as they roared as one his name "Sartorius" the chanted. "We will show the world the light."
Sartorius's smile grew wider showing his teeth because of how pleased he was with this reception "You are all right, we will show the world the light" he proclaimed the projector behind him then showed a picture of an island with a massive building on it "and it starts here with Duel Academy." While this was happening Sartorius had noted that ten more of his agents had gone blank, and not that the connection had been severed more along the lines of that they had been killed "I'll need to address this problem, quickly as I have a feeling that whoever these individuals responsible for this are not as soft as anyone I have ever dealt with."
The young woman in white coughed up blood staining her white choice of uniform "Master Sartorius" she breathed "I have failed you" she trailed off as the last of her life drained out with her blood."
"You seem to have some blood staining you clothes there Shirou" a man in a green medieval attire addressed the man with white wild hair and a red cloak who wore the clothes of a Priest. "Did you find anything from these fanatics?" he asked as he gave a cursory glance to all the other nine bodies that needed to be disposed of. "Still I cannot imagine why when you said that you were here to put an end to their evil they activated this strange contraption." the man said holding up on of the severed arms with a duel disk attached to it. "It is rather strange as they activated it but didn't seem to do anything.
"They are called Duel Disks Caster" the Beauty with Long black hair stated "I believe I was able to get that from one of them" she explained.
"Are Assasin or should I say Semiramis, you are as wise as you are beautiful" he stated. "It is truly an honour to view your work in person."
"Save your flattery Shakespeare" Assassin replied revealing Caster's name "I wonder though Shirou what are you thinking?" she asked wrapping an arm around Shirou Kotomine's.
"I believe that if we follow the path these people were heading in that we will be able to find Saver, it suits the nature of Saver to save people after all."
"Well since you are our leader I'll go inform Lancer and the other's of this development" Assassin stated. "I hope you're right." with this she transformed into her Astral form and departed.
"Oh you won't have to worry about that" Amakusa Shirou Tokisada replied a smirk playing upon his lips. "Finally I am one step closer to destroying Angra Mainyu, now to get there before Ruler does."
So yeah I made this chapter shorter than the others even though my fic is not over a hundred thousand words at this point it will be by next update (hopefully). As you can tell things will be starting to heat up with Duel Academy in the firing line. Still I am going to enjoy this three (possibly four) way conflict as things are about to get hectic. Lancer will enjoy it, no one else will. But that is only a theory. Also I decided to end this Chapter there because it seemed like an appropriate spot to end it at.
Anyway if you have any ideas or feedback that you would like to share please feel free to leave a review or PM me though as always I will ask that you leave a review as it is easier to sort and reference that way.
Still I hope you enjoyed this Chapter until next itme
