Heya guys we're back on this! ENJOY!


The next day...

"Whoa it's close huh Zane?" Kevin asked as they walked in the classroom.

"Huh, what are you guys talking about?" Chazz inquired.

"About the graduation duels. They are coming close." Kevin answered.

"Exactly, and to be honest I'm still thinking about a few people I might want to duel." Zane added.

"Well I know who I wanted to duel." Kevin smiled.

"Oh, mind sharing with the rest of the class?" Alexis inquired walking up to them.

"Zane of course? What better way to end the year then a duel with the two top students?" Kevin asked.

"Actually, I'm not so sure about that." Zane admitted. "To be completely honest you aren't one of the people I've been considering."

"What?" Kevin asked surprised.

"It's nothing personal, but we've dueled more than a few times both in the academy and outside of it." Zane explained. "To be honest it would be a great duel but we both know how it would end."

"You winning?" Kevin smiled. "I don't know with all the cards I kept getting that will change but their is one way to find out.

"Actually I was going to say you winning Kevin." Zane smiled. "No but being completely honest my top two choices right now would be my teacher, and Jaden."

"My brother huh?" Kevin smiled. "Well guess we will find out what the choices will be once the time comes eh?"

"Yeah, we will." Zane agreed.

Kevin nodded as they sat down.

"Hey, has anyone seen that new girl?" asked a female Obelisk Blue student.

"Not today, why?" inquired a male Obelisk Blue student.

"Well, one of my friends mentioned she heard noises last night." the female Obelisk Blue student explained.

"New girl what new girl?" Kevin questioned.

"You know Kevin." the female Obelisk Blue student mentioned. "The one who was rooming with Alexis until a few days ago."

"Oh yeah Camula." Kevin mentioned. "Speaking of have you seen her Alexis?"

"Not since last night, she stopped by before heading to her room though." Alexis answered.

Now Kevin is starting to get worried.

"Hey, you don't think... I mean who could handle her?" Chazz asked. "Well aside from Kevin."

"No I think Amneal might've kidnapped her for betraying them, and leaking info." Kevin thought.

"Well then what are we waiting around here for, let's find her before something bad happens." Atticus stated.

They nodded and walked out to find her.


At Camula's room...

Kevin knocked on the door first. "Hey Camula?"

There was no response so he opened the door.

Camula wasn't there but a bat was.

"Hey did you saw what happened?" Kevin asked the bat.

The bat just stared at him before flying out the window.

"Come on let's go follow him!" Kevin cried as they ran out.

As they followed the bat it led them to the abandoned dorm.

"This place... Now I remember!" Atticus cried suddenly.

"You do Atticus?" Kevin asked him.

"Kevin, don't you remember? We were called here for a special class." Atticus mentioned. "We were told to duel here, and that's when I became Nightshroud."

"Oh yeah. And that happened when I became Malek." Kevin realized. "Though it looks like Amneal wants us to finish this here."

"Kevin, don't you remember who told us to come here in the first place?" Atticus asked.

"Not that I can remember my memory is still fuzzy." Kevin answered.

"It was professor Banner." Atticus revealed.

"Professor Banner!?" Jaden questioned in shock.

"We can figure that out once we stop Amnael." Zane said quickly.

They nodded, and ran inside.

"This brings back bad memories. And hopefully Sheppard won't think of expelling us if he finds out about this." Kevin mentioned.

"So you finally made it." called a voice from the darkness. "I've been waiting to get my revenge on you."

"Show yourself!" Kevin demanded.

"As you wish." said a figure as he emerged from the darkness.

"Amnael!" Kevin yelled out his name.

"Amnael, what are you talking about?" the figure said.

"Hold on, you're that guy from before Titan." Jaden realized. "What are you doing here?"

"Titan?" Kevin asked confused.

"Long story, remember how we went to the Abandoned Dorm before and you banned me from dueling?" Jaden asked. "We found him here claiming to be able to create Shadow Games."

"So you were the creep that kidnapped Alexis." Kevin said to the man angered.

"I am, now if you're quite finished Jaden and I have some unfinished business to attend to." Titan stated.

Kevin put his arm in front of Jaden.

"Oh, you want to duel me in his place?" Titan questioned. "Fine, you'll be the first to be swallowed up by the shadows."

"If you want my brother you'r gonna have to go through me." Kevin told him. "What did you do with Camula?"

"The girl, I needed you to have a reason to come here." Titan answered.

"You better not have hurt her!" Kevin yelled.

"She's fine, for now." Titan answered.

At that Kevin activated his Duel Disk.

"DUEL!"

"Now Starving Venom! Attack his Metaor Fiend, and end this!" Kevin cried.

"Noooo!" Titan cried as his life points hit zero.

"That's what you get for kiddnapping." Kevin said coldly. "Go back to the Shadow Realm, and never come back!"

Titan screams before vanishing. As he vanished Kevin looked around, "Camula?"

"Hmm?" Camula inquired. "Kevin?"

"Oh thank heaven your alright!" Kevin cried in relief running to her.

"Alright, what are you talking about? I'm fine." Camula mentioned. "I appreciate your concern though."

"But that guy kidnapped you..." Kevin told her.

"Oh, well I'm fine. Don't worry about me Kevin." Camula smiled.

"Well I'm just glad your okay." Kevin smiled.

"Save it you lovebirds." Chazz mentioned. "We still have to deal with Amnael."

"Yeah, and find out about why Banner would planned that charade." Kevin added.

"I might know, but I hope I'm wrong." Zane said before the group left the abandoned dorm.


The next day...

Kevin was studying over the Orichalcos, and Atlantis and kept reading history about Dartz.

"Kevin, you need to rest. The next two opponents are going to be incredibly dangerous." Hermos mentioned.

"What if the Orichalcos returns with a new power?" Kevin asked.

"You have a new power as well, and several allies." Timeaus pointed out.

"Well I still want to get prep for it." Kevin told him.

"Well when do you plan on telling the others what you've learned?" Critias asked.

"Before I leave the Academy." Kevin answered.

"Alright." Critias noted accepting that answer.

At that Kevin then spotted a card on the floor. Picking it up he widen his eyes before looking at the book, and seeing a match as he said the name:

"The Seal of Orichalcos."

"What, why do you have that?" Timeaus questioned.

"I don't. I just found it from the floor." Kevin told them.

He looked at what effect it has and was confused by the writing,

'If thou would seek our power
A great power dwells within thyself
It shall dwell within
Offer unto us a sacrifice
And we shall be resurrected'

"Kevin destroy that immediately." Hermos told him.

"Okay." Kevin said before tearing it up.

"That card is more dangerous than anything the Shadow Riders could have." Timeaus mentioned. "Including the Sacred Beasts."

"Well hopefuly it won't come back." Kevin told them.

The three Knights nodded.

He looked at the torn seal card one last time before throwing them away.

"Kevin if that card was here..." Hermos started.

"Then what?" Kevin asked.

"... It's nothing." Timeus answered.

Kevin nodded before deciding to call Chazz. The phone rang but nobody picked up.

"Huh? That's odd..." Kevin remarked before calling Jaden.

The phone rang but again there was no answer. Getting worried he called Zane.

"Kevin, what's going on?" Zane asked.

"I think something happened to Chazz, and Jaden." Kevin said. "They're not picking up."

"There's only one thing it could be." Zane mentioned.

"...Amnael!" Kevin cried before hanging up, and running up.

Zane and Kevin met outside the dorm.

"Where do you think he is?" Zane questioned. "We can't just wait for him to make the first move against you."

"I know. I'm the only Spirit Key protector left." Kevin told him. "I must not let him defeat me."

Suddenly two cards hit the ground in front of him.

"Huh?" Kevin picked up the note while Zane took the card.

"It's time we finish this, at the place it all began Malek."

"Huh. Sounds like it does finish it at the Abandoned Dorm." Kevin said. "Should we tell the others?"

"I don't think so." Zane said before showing Kevin the card.

Elemental HERO Flame Wingman.

That was enough to set Kevin off, and ran ahead.

"Kevin wait!" Zane called before running after him.

They made it an the Abandoned Dorm where Chumley, and Syrus looked mortified were waiting.

"You guys, we have a huge problem." Syrus said nervously. "Jaden and Chazz went in there and they haven't come out yet."

"They lost already." Kevin told them.

"Wait, but that means..." Syrus said fearfully.

"It means you're the only one left Kevin." Chumley mentioned nervously.

"Come on. We're stopping him." Kevin said as they all walked in.

As they walked into the room they found another coffin in the corner.

"What the-Zane help me with this." Kevin said walking to the coffin.

Zane nodded before they opened the coffin revealing Professor Banner. Syrus, and Chumley screamed while Kevin winced a bit, and Zane looked a bit disgusted.

"Whoa..." Kevin gagged a bit.

"But bodies don't decomposed that fast!" Chumley cried.

"Then it's a fake?" Zane asked.

"Incorrect, that body is indeed the body of Lyman Banner." stated a voice as a man hiding his face approached them. "You must be the holder of the final Spirit Key."

"And you must be the final Shadow Rider." Kevin glared.

"Indeed, then there is no need for any more discussion." Amnael answered. "It comes down to this, one last duel."

"You will regret defeating my brother." Kevin promised ready to finish this.

"We shall see." Amnael stated drawing his cards. "Do you care if I take the first move?"

"Go ahead." Kevin said.

"DUEL!"

"Well shoot." Kevin gritted his teeth. "So that was how you managed to beat Chazz, and Jaden. I set this, and it's your turn."


Kevin: 4000

Amneal: 4000


Amnael 2nd Turn:

"My Alchemy Beasts can attack you directly so I'll have all three attack your life points." Amnael stated.

"And since he isn't a Light monster that means he can attack! Strike down his Aretos the Tin!"

"True, but my Elemental Absorber can be used four times, so I send remove Aqua Spirit to stop your water monsters from attacking." Amnael stated.

What of the absorbers spin as it glowed blue as the attack struck but both monsters were safe. Kevin grunted, "Darn it! I set this, and it's your move!"


Kevin: 2500

Amnael: 4000


Amnael 3rd Turn:

"I'm disappointed, you're barely putting up a fight." Amnael noted.

"Well blame your Elemental Absorber for that!" Kevin pointed out.

"If one card can defeat you then perhaps you should surrender now." Amnael noted before a meow echoed through the room.

They looked, and saw Pharaoh.

"Pharaoh! There you are." Syrus smiled picking him up. "You here to cheer Kevin on?"

Pharaoh jumped out of Syrus' arms and walked over to Amnael and purred calmly.

"What the...?" Kevin asked surprised.

"Pharaoh was never that fond to strangers!" Chumley cried out.

"You mean you haven't realized it by now?" Amnael inquired.

"Your mask is in the way." Zane gave that out.

"Have you come to the correct conclusion Kevin?" Amnael questioned while kneeling down and petting Pharaoh.

"In all honesty no." Kevin told him. "All I care is beating you for not only defeating Chazz, and Jaden but for also reducing Banner to that." He pointed at Banner's body as he said that.

"Perhaps this will explain." Amnael said before lowering his hood and revealing his face.

They all gasped even Zane looked shocked.

(New Dueling Theme: Figure 0.9 by Lickin Park)

"Professor Banner!?" Syrus, and Chumley cried shocked.

"If your Banner then who's that?" Zane questioned pointing at what looks like Banner.

"That is simple, Lyman Banner." Amnael/Banner answered. "Now then, I activate White Process - Albedo."

"Aw crap." Kevin said looking at the huge monster.

"I was hoping you'd be a better opponent, it seems I was mistaken." Amnael/Banner noted. "My three Alchemy Beasts attack you directly."

The three from a water stream, a wind hurricane, and a sharp disk brigade attacked as Kevin cried out. (Kevin: 1000)

"Just hold on a minute! What is going on?" Kevin asked. "How come you were a Shadow Rider this whole time!?"

"That body in the coffin is the reason. I am dying." I have been for some time." Amnael/Banner answered. "This body was a construction made from alchemy. A Homunculus to hold my spirit."

"So you joined the Shadow Riders because you made a new body for yourself?" Kevin asked.

"I joined the Shadow Riders so I can use the Sacred Beasts to remain in this world permanently. Now, it's time we end this duel. Golden Homunculus attack Alexandrite Dragon!" Amnael/Banner declared.

The Homunclus gave out a punch.

(Banner: 2100)

"What?" Amnael/Banner questioned.

"This." Kevin explained showing he activated Dimension Wall in time.

"I remove the Rock Spirit for my Elemental Absorber." Amnael/Banner stated.

The attack was blocked.

"First of the Dragons it's your turn! Attack Moonface!" Kevin cried as the dragon fired a flame breath.

"I remove The Dark - Hex-Sealed Fusion." Amnael/Banner countered.

"Whenever he is destroyed I can re-summon Helios Duo Megistus with 300 more attack points." Amnael/Banner revealed.

Helios Duo Megistus: (ATK and DEF: 0 + (12 * 200) = 2400 + 300 = 2700)

"Oh that's just great." Kevin groaned. "So even if I do destroy him he'll only get more powered up!"

(Amnael/Banner: 1200)

"What in the world?" Amnael/Banner questioned.

Kevin saw it was his dragon who done that. Kevin looked, and read "When he has Xyz Materials each time the opponents plays an effect you take 500 points of damage."

"In other words I can only play two more cards in this duel." Amnael/Banner realized. "Well, is that the end of your move?"

"With this face-down yeah." Kevin said ending his turn.

"Now, I attack your dragon."

"I play the trap card, Negate Attack!" The attack was stopped.


Negate Attack

You can Tribute this card; you can Normal Summon 1 "Red-Eyes" monster during your Main Phase this turn, except "Red-Eyes B. Chick", in addition to your Normal Summon/Set. (You can only gain this effect once per turn.)


"Now I play Polymerization!"


Polymerization

Normal Spell Card

Fusion Summon 1 Fusion Monster from your Extra Deck, using monsters from your hand or field as Fusion Materials.


"Polymerization, I had a feeling you would be summoning a fusion monster." Amnael/Banner noted.

"Now appear, Starving Venom Fusion Dragon!" Kevin cried as the dragon appeared,

Once per turn: You can target 1 Level 5 or higher monster your opponent controls; until the end of this turn, that opponent's monster has its effects negated, and replace this effect with that monster's original effects. If this card is destroyed: You can destroy as many Special Summoned monsters your opponent controls as possible, and if you do, inflict damage to your opponent equal to the total ATK the destroyed monsters had on the field.


"That dragon is perfect. Kevin wins." Zane said calmly.

"And when he was summoned he gains your special summoned monster's attack points!" Kevin cried.

Starving Venom Fusion Dragon: (ATK: 2800 + 3900 = 6700)

"I activate Grand Convergence. This destroys every monster in play and deals 300 points of damage." Amnael/Banner stated. "Then Helios returns with an extra 500 attack points."


Grand Convergence

Quick-Play Spell Card

If you control "Macro Cosmos": Inflict 300 damage to your opponent and destroy all monsters on the field.


TheyThe two vanished as Kevin cried out. (Kevin: 0400)

Helios appeared again. (ATK: 3900 + 500 = 4400)

"Big mistake." Zane smirked.

Kevin smirked weakly at Amnael.

Suddenly Helios shattered.


Kevin: 0400

Amnael/Banner: 0000

Kevin wins the duel!


"What, what just happened?" Amnael/Banner questioned.

"When Starving Venom is destroyed all Special Summoned monsters on your field are destroyed, and you take damage equal to their attack points." Kevin answered.

"I see, then perhaps with that dragon you may have a chance after all." Amnael/Banner admitted before handing his book to Kevin. "The others are in there, along with something you'll need Kevin."

As he said that, the two Banners crumbled into dust as Pharaoh ate a small golden orb. That is when Kevin collapsed in exhastion.

"Kevin!" Zane called running to him as Jaden and Chazz appeared out of thin air.

They looked around as Chazz asked "Hey! Where's the Shadow Rider!?"

"Kevin beat him, but we need to get him to the infirmary." Zane answered.

"I...I did it..." Kevin started to weakly laugh.

"Kevin, are you alright?" Zane asked nervously.

"Felt horrible." Kevin answered wincing. "But at least all the Shadow Riders are gone."

"Not all of them, Kagemaru is still out there." Jaden mentioned.

"We'll beat him too." Kevin mentioned.

"Yeah, we will." Jaden agreed.

Kevin then passed out.

"Bro!" Jaden cried nervously.


And that's it! Be sure to review!
