Last time on Yu-Gi-Oh! GX: Enter the Twosome…
Pat picked the card up delicately in his hand, and saw it was an Ultimate Rare Card; for it had a shining gold-colored card name, a very holographic picture, and even a shiny Attribute circle by the name and holographic Level-symbolizing stars.
Hmm… DARK Attribute… Fiend-type… ATK/ Unknown DEF/ Unknown? Wait… This card is Dark Eraser, Justin's special Devil Card!
Pat quickly reached into his white coat and brought out a card similar to the one he had in his hand, but in a clear card protector.
Hmm… One of the few cards than can somehow beat my Devil Card, Dark Dreadroute. So, Justin finally has a Fiend Deck… I'll return this to him tomorrow. Normally, I'd keep it, but these things a cursed… If used by someone other than who they chose as per the legend… Pat placed Dark Dreadroute back in his jacket and Dark Eraser in his pocket, and returned to his room.

Justin, come to the White Dorm's Dueling Field, and bring your friends. They'd love to see your demise… Oh, and it'll be a double duel… You and whoever you choose vs. me and a certain female…

Everyone's Disks activated, and everyone drew five cards.

"And now…" Pat growled, his voice becoming more demonic…
"I tribute my three Shadow Fiends…"
NO! Justin shouted in his mind.
The three Tokens disappeared.
"…Heh-heh-heh-heh… YOUR TIME HAS COME!" Pat smirked. "I SUMMON THE UNSTOPPABLE DARK DREADROUTE!"
Boy, I wish this story was rated T… Then I could unleash my anger and anguish. Justin said, sweat-dropping at his own fourth-wall-breaking comment.
The black, swirling vortex above began twisting around even quicker, and with a bolt of black lightning, an extremely large creature with a body like a man's with bat wings appeared, overshadowed by the light from the lightning.
"As I said before, ye mortal fools… YOUR TIME… HAS… COME!!!" Pat roared evilly.
Chapter Twenty: Curse of Darkness Pt. 2
The monster's form behind Pat, Dark Dreadroute, became colored. Dark Dreadroute was over twenty times Pat's size, and had black batwings, a green muscular human body with a gray skeleton lining its arms and body having a horned skull, a red left arm, two silver claws on each hand, and three long silver claws on each foot. ATK/ 4000 DEF/ 4000.
Mystic Plasma Zone took effect. ATK/ 4500 DEF/ 3600.
Only two other cards existed on the field: Demise, King of Armageddon (ATK/ 2900 DEF/ 1600.) and Gil Garth (ATK/ 2300 DEF/ 800.)
Pat and Alexis' LP: 2800.
Justin and Jaden's LP: 6500.
"And now for Dreadroute's ability: the original Attack and Defense points of every card on the field but him are halved!" Pat smirked.
"Whoa, whoa, whoa. Pat, does that include… My cards?" Alexis asked.
Pat nodded. "When I say every card but him I mean every card but him, Lex."
(Demise) ATK/ 1450 DEF/ 800. (Gil Garth) ATK/ 1150 DEF/ 400.
"Now Dark Dreadroute, destroy Demise, King of Armageddon with your Eliminatory Shadow Burst!"
Dark Dreadroute curled up into a ball, and a black-purple energy sphere appeared in the center. Quickly, Dreadroute turned back into his aerial standing position, causing the energy ball to unleash large rays of energy unto Demise, causing it to explode.
Justin and Jaden's LP: 3050.
"Grr… Is that all, Pat?" Justin groaned.
"Fortunately for you fools, yes. Your move, Alexis."
Alexis drew a card from her deck. Great… Since Dark Dreadroute affects my cards too, I can't attack Gil Garth without being suicidal! Hmm…
"I set one monster and one other card facedown."
Two facedowns appeared.
Jaden drew next. "Okay. I activate my Polymerization! I fuse my Bladedge in my hand with a Fusion Substitute, King of the Swamp! This lets me summon…"
"Wildedge, Jaden?" Pat laughed.
"Nope! It's my newest Elemental Hero: Elemental Hero Flamedge!"
A person in shining ruby-colored body armor with flaming blades on his arms and legs and glowing red eyes appeared. ATK/ 3500 DEF/ 3000.
"He's a Fusion between Flame Wingman and Bladedge, and he has the effects of both!"
"Hey, Jaden?" Justin said, interrupting Jaden's effect speech.
"Yeah?"
"YOU'RE AN IDIOT! FLAMEDGE'S POINTS ARE NOW HALVED BECAUSE OF DREADROUTE!"
(Flamedge) ATK/ 1750 DEF/ 1500.
"I'm not done. I play Fusion Gate!"
Mystic Plasma Zone exploded, and the field changed to a strange field with a green net-like design with a black and purple swirling sky above. (Gil Garth) ATK/ 900 DEF/ 600. (Dark Dreadroute) ATK/ 4000 DEF/ 4000.
"And now, I activate Fusion Gate's effect! By removing from play Flamedge and another King of the Swamp, I can summon by best E-Hero yet: Elemental Hero Shining Flaredge!"
A shining, red-bodysuit-clad person with green skin having flaming blades on his arms, silver, shining wings with red spheres in the centers, and a glowing red and silver sphere in his chest. His wings were flaming on the bottom sides. ATK/ 4000 DEF/ 3500.
"And now for Dreadroute's effect…" Pat smirked.
(Shining Flaredge) ATK/ 2000 DEF/ 1750.
"You've triggered Shining Flaredge's effect!"
Shining Flaredge began glowing even brighter.
"When his Attack and Defense get lowered, he can attack directly that turn! So, Shining Flaredge, attack!"
Flaredge dashed towards Pat and slashed him with one of his blades
Pat and Alexis' LP: 800.
"GRR…!" Pat growled. "THAT'S IT! NO MORE MR. NICE GUY! Err… Semi-Nice Guy!"
"More like Mr. Meanie… I end my turn!" Jaden said.
Justin drew a card, letting out a soft gasp at the card he drew.
Heh-heh-heh… With Dreadroute out, this is gonna get confusing…
Dark Magician Girl and Gilford reappeared behind him. Sire, are you sure you should use that card? Pat changed since he used that vile Dark Dreadroute. Gilford said.
But he still manages to keep up his handsome appearance… DMG said.
Gilford and Justin stared at DMG.
…What? I can't like him? IT'S A FREE WORLD! DMG yelled, actual red blushed forming on her cheeks.
Then she noticed Pat sending a glare towards her, and she disappeared in a puff of magical smoke.
"Get on with it, Justin. I'm getting more impatient by the second."
Justin growled, and then said: "WHATEVER! I play Monster Reborn and Autonomous Action Unit! I now revive two monsters, the latter costing 1500 Points: Helpoemer and from your Graveyard, Pat, Shadow Fiend!"
Justin and Jaden's LP: 1550.
A rotting blue corpse chained to a wall and a black shadow creature with red eyes appeared in front of Justin. ATK/ 1000 DEF/ 700. ATK/ 0 DEF/ 0.
"And with Gil Garth, that makes three Fiends…" Justin began smirking evilly. "And now…" His voice now had the same demonic tone as Pat's. "I tribute my Gil Garth, Helpoemer, and Shadow Fiend to summon…"
Justin's trio of monsters disappeared, and a shadowed draconic form appeared in their place, as tall as Dark Dreadroute…
"I SUMMON DARK ERASER!"
The form behind Justin turned into a golden-colored demonic dragon, with long claws, razor-sharp teeth, and glowing red eyes. Its wings were tipped with long spikes. ATK? DEF?.
"His Attack and Defense points are equal to the amount of cards on my opponent's side of the field. So, roll call: Dark Dreadroute… Alexis' facedown monster… Her other facedown card… So he has a measly 1500 Attack and Defense points." Justin said.
"Uh… If my math is right, which it rarely is…" Jaden said. "Doesn't three times one thousand make 3000?"
"IT'S 1500 BECAUSE OF DREADROUTE, YOU DUNCE!"
(Dark Eraser) ATK/ 1500 DEF/ 1500.
"But now… I do this: activate one more Spell card… RIRYOKU! I halve Dreadroute's points to add them to Eraser!"
Dreadroute began glowing a red color, and the same-colored energy floated from him to Dark Eraser. (Dark Dreadroute) ATK/ 2000 DEF/ 4000. (Dark Eraser) ATK/ 3500 DEF/ 1500.
"NO! BUT… B-BUT THAT M-MEANS…!" Pat cried out.
"This is the end Pat. I hope this makes you realize your mistake of joining the Society… Dark Eraser, go for it! Use Eliminatory Shadow Flame!"
Dark Eraser, now grown to gigantic size from Riryoku, reared back its head. With a rumbling growl from its throat, Dark Eraser lowered its draconic head, letting out a wave of dark purple flames fly towards Dark Dreadroute. Upon contact, Dreadroute exploded in a burst of dark flames.
"NOOOOOOOOO!!!" Pat screamed as his Life Points dropped. Alexis, too, felt some pain.
Pat and Alexis' LP: 0000.
This Duel's Winners: JUSTIN AND JADEN!
Pat fell to the ground, lying facedown as the holograms above disappeared. Beside him kneeled Alexis, who was holding her head.
"…Are you two okay?" Jaden asked.
Alexis gasped, and then looked up. "What… What… What happened…? Was I dueling…?" she said.
"You don't remember?" Justin asked. He and Jaden walked towards their ex-opponents.
"…No… I don't… And why am I in white?!"
Justin scratched the back of his head. "Maybe we'll fill you in later."
Alexis then noticed Pat laying beside her. She immediately got up and walked to him. "…Pat…?" she said.
A soft grunt was heard, and Pat's green eyes opened. "…Mmm… What…"
Alexis grinned happily and hugged Pat, causing him to blush. "Uh, Alexis? Can you get off? I can't breathe."
The blonde let go, allowing Pat to stand up and notice his attire…
"WHAT… KIND… OF… SICK… TWISTED… JOKE… IS THIS?!"
"…You don't remember either, do you?" Jaden asked.
Pat shook his head. The four walked out of the Dueling Arena, the sun now about to set on the day of an immensely important duel…
…But even Pat knew that in three days, his duel with a certain blue-haired black-clad person would leave his once-spotless Duel Academy record in pieces…
PM: ...Eighteen to go... Huh? I said nothing. And someone REVIEW FOR PAT'S SAKE! ...But no flaming. You know who you are.
