Timo had found his way to the same place Jaden had dueled his dark half, and had found Duela's father still around.
"Oh, hey M. Yuki" Timo waved.
"Oh, hey"
"Um, something up?" Timo asked. Jaden sighed.
"It's that Yubel card, it, seems familiar somehow, I just don't know why?"
"Really, it does?" (GX fans will know)
"Ugg, maybe I just need a duel to remember, HEY WANNA DUEL!"
"Is that how you solve all your problems?"
"Um, maybe, dueling drives away rats, defeats the forces of boring, helps decide who takes out the trash between Alexis and me... so yeah it pretty much does, Now get your game on!"
"Plus, if you win, I'll let you in a secret!" Jaden told the nervous boy "One of Duela's"
"OKAY!"
DUEL
Both 4000
"My draw" Timo smirked.
"I summon, Prevent Rat in defense mode (500, 2000)."
"Really, that's all? My draw!" Jaden drew a card.
"I activate my Future fusion spell card, and I send from my deck to my grave, Neo Spacian Aqua Dolphin, Elemental Hero Neos, Elemental Hero Neo Bubbleman, Elemental Hero Necroshade and Elemental hero Avian, in order for my DIVINE NEOS, to appear in 2 turns"
"D, divine!"
"Yep, pretty sweet right! But for now, I hope you like my Neo Spacian Glow moss! (300, 900). Now, attack!" his moss flew at the rat.
"Now you draw!" Timo drew heart of the underdog.
"Spell card, now I attack directly!" a burst of light hit Timo.
"I'll play a card face down to end my turn"
Timo 3700
"my turn" he shook it off.
"I summon, my Sonic Duck in attack mode!" a green duck sped onto the field (1700, 300).
"Now, quack!" his duck speed at Glow moss.
"DRAW!" Timo drew his Threatening Roar trap.
"Now, Glow moss goes to defense!" Sonic's foot smashed into Glow moss, destroying it.
"I play a card face down, and activate Heart of the underdog, and also my Mystical Space Typhoon!" a blast of wind hit and destroyed Future Fusion.
"Ah come on! No Divine... but thanks to you, I can show you my newest monster!"
"Wait, what!"
"MY draw!" Jaden drew a card.
"I activate O Oversoul, reviving my Elemental Hero Neos! (2500, 2000). Next, I summon Attack Gainer, in attack mode!" a black warrior with red orange hair appeared in attack mode (0, 0).
"Wait, is that a tuner!"
"Yep, and I activate, R righeous Justice!" His hidden threatening roar was destroyed " and now I tune level 7 Neos and Level 1 Gainer" Gainer split into a green ring, that surrounded Neos.
"Meet, my newest monster!" a flash of light.
"COLLOSSAL FIGHTER!" a large white robot warrior suit appeared in attack mode (2800, 1000).
"Whoa, that's big!"
"You are correct, and now, thanks to his ability, he gains 100 attack points for each warrior in my grave, and I have 6!" (3400, 1000).
"And now, for Cocoon party, with it, I can summon up a cocoon for each Neo spacian in the grave, I call you, Chrysalis Mole (700, 100) and Pantail (800, 300)!"
"And finally, I activate my final card of the day, shield crush!" Prevent Rat exploded.
"Colossal, crush that duck!" his new monster smashed the green duck.
Timo 2000
"Now, my Chrysalis's attack you directly!" his two cocoons smashed into timo.
Timo 500
"Finally, I activate my face down card, A leap to Awakening!" Colossal fighter exploded into 8 stars.
"Now, take this!" the stars smashed into Timo.
Timo 0
"OW, hey you usually don't duel so rough?" Timo said confused.
"Sorry, I'm just trying to get some practice in with new strategies. It's for Dark Jaden mainly"
"So, you tested it on me why?"
"Because if I told you her secret, she'd kill me. Plus, I needed some duel energy to open a portal for testing Duela"
"Wait, what!" they vanished, as a green rainbow hole replaced them.
They found themselves in a stone tomb, floating somewhere in the spirit world.
"Way, wha, how..."
"Hey, I got tested here, and I had it arranged with Gravekeeper's Chief, to test Duela as well. Now, he's a really tempermental spirit, so do not, break anything" too late, Timo had knocked over a stone statue.
"Oh brother, this is going to be bad" he said as a group of Gravekeeper's spear soldiers and Guards surrounded them.
