Yu-Gi-Oh GX: Season 2 – The Gentle Darkness vs The Light of Destruction
So last time Sartorius showed up at the Slifer dorm to find the source of a great power he felt on the island and he discovered that it came from Hassleberry. Hassleberry who learned that the stranger were Sartorius himself immediately got hostile and suspicious, but agreed to a duel after making a deal that if he won they would get a chance to get Chazz and Alexis back. Hassleberry faced him with everything he and his dinosaurs had, but it was still not enough to defeat Sartorius and his Arcana Force deck. But even though he lost Hassleberry didn't get brainwashed because of that he had dinosaur DNA in his blood which made him immune to the power of the Light of Destruction. Then the next day Sartorius appeared as a third year transfer student. What is he planning to do next?
Chapter 21- Fire vs Fire, Fire Dragon appears
Jaden and the others sat in the rebuilt part of the Slifer dorm, Bastion looked troubled, "Practically the whole Obelisk dorm is brainwashed, and now Sartorius is here in person, and he seems to be planning something since he has entered the school as a student, so what are we gonna do to stop him?"
Jaden placed his chin on his hands, "The only way to truly stop him is to defeat him in a duel when I'm using my powers, that will force the Light of Destruction to leave his body and then it will be sealed away until the next time it shows up again and the next Supreme King will have to deal with it".
Syrus looked at him, "So how are we gonna do that?" Jaden shook his head, "I have no idea, I know for sure however that he's not gonna face me until the Light thinks the time is right, and I don't even want to think what the Light is gonna make him do until then".
Hassleberry sighed, "Well we all know just going to the white dorm and declaring war on him is not gonna help". Jaden shook his head, "No but we have been able to free a few students from the brainwashing, which is good".
Syrus looked at them, "Though I'm surprised that they didn't try to brainwash Mindy and Jazz". Bastion looked at him with a raised eyebrow, "Well that's pretty obvious, while they're pretty smart, their dueling skills are not really something to brag about".
Jaden who had seen them duel before had to agree with Bastion on that. Then the next moment the door flew opened and Atticus ran in. Jaden looked at him confused, "Atticus? What's the matter buddy?"
Atticus looked at Jaden, "I think something bad is about to happen Jaden, I saw how Sartorius and a lot of his followers, including Chazz and Alexis, walking towards the main building".
Jaden looked at him while raising an eyebrow, "And that's so bad because…" Atticus looked at him while he narrowed his eyes, "Remember that we were informed that we would soon be going on a field trip and Crowler and Bonaparte was gonna decide where? Well I accidently overheard that Sartorius was gonna give a suggestion to where to go".
Jaden got a troubled look on his face, "Yeah now I see the problem, wherever he wants to go it can't be good, let's go guys". Everyone nodded and then ran out of the dorm and towards the main building.
A WHILE LATER AT THE CHANCELLOR'S OFFICE,
Crowler and Bonaparte were currently arguing about where to have the field trip since they couldn't agree on a place.
But then they heard how the door to the office, they looked at it and saw Alexis, Chazz and a lot of other white clad students walk into the office, "So what are you knuckleheads planning now".
Veins appeared on both Crowler's and Bonaparte's foreheads as they glared angrily at Chazz for what he had just said, "Knuckleheads? Well if you have to know you rude little brat, we are planning were we will take you on your field trip".
Alexis glared at them, "Oh yeah? Well we have some suggestions of our own, and they're better than any lame ideas you two can come up with". Crowler gritted his teeth when he heard what Alexis said, "Oh really? Well not as long as I'm in charge of this institution".
Chazz chuckled, "Yeah well too bad for you teach, we follow someone else now, and he's a much better at guiding us when you two ever were or will be, and he has already picked a destination for this lame field trip".
Then all of the white students walked to either side and Sartorius walked in to the room, he had a smile on his face. "Pardon the interruption gentlemen, but you see, I had a vision about this field trip".
Crowler raised an eyebrow, "A vision? Are you saying we should make our decision based on that?" However he and Bonaparte got nervous as all the white students glared at them, Bonaparte leaned over to Crowler, "Let's not make him mad, we need to stay on his good side remember? While he's staying here he might choose a few students here to be pro duelists, which will be really good for our image".
Bonaparte looked at Sartorius, "Of course we're open to any suggestions and then we'll decide if it's good ones".
Alexis looked at him, "Looks like you're finally coming to your senses, also master Sartorius only has good suggestions, so just leave it to him to decide where we're going".
However they got interrupted by a new familiar voice coming from the door, "Hold on a sec, if people can give suggestions, don't we have a say in this too?" They turned around and saw Jaden and the gang standing there.
Alexis glared at him, "Listen dork, just stay out of our business, at least until you're smart enough to stop trying to stand in our way and join us instead". Jaden felt a little pain in his chest when Alexis called him a dork, but he ignored it and looked at Sartorius, "How about we do this fair and square, we'll decide this with a duel".
Sartorius looked at him with a smirk, "A duel? You win, you guys decide where we will go on this field trip, but if you lose then you'll join the Society of Light". The others looked at Jaden worried as he nodded.
Atticus then asked him, "Jaden, are you sure this is a good idea?" Jaden nodded, "I'm protected from being brainwashed thanks to my powers, you guys know that, I'll be fine", he whispered to them as he tried to calm them down.
Jaden looked at Sartorius, "So when do you want to do this Sartorius?" Sartorius chuckled, "Oh you misunderstand, I'm not gonna participate in this duel, but there is one of my followers that is eager for a rematch with you".
One of the white stepped forward, and they saw that it was Derek Jones and he narrowed his eyes at Jaden. Jaden sighed, "Well I knew this would happen". He was about to accept when Bastion grabbed his shoulder.
Jaden looked at Bastion a little confused, Bastion looked at Sartorius, "Well if you're suddenly gonna change who the opponent will be, then we can change the duelist from our side, I'll take Jaden's place in this duel, of course he will still get to decide where we will go".
Sartorius just kept smiling, "I knew you would do that, also I know you like to prepare yourself before a duel, so I will give you one hour to prepare yourself before the duel". Bastion nodded before he left the office while his shocked and confused friends followed him.
AN HALF HOUR LATER,
Jaden walked up to Bastion who was working on one of his decks, "Bastion, why did you accept that challenge in my place?" Bastion looked at him, "You should not bother too much with people like them and leave them to us, you should focus more on people like Alexis, Chazz or Sartorius".
He then looked back at his deck, Jaden got a smirk on his face while his eyes turned golden, he lifted his hand and it got covered in a golden energy. He placed his hand on his shoulder, Bastion gasped in shock as he felt a powerful energy enter his body. He looked at his hands and saw that they as well his entire body were covered by a golden aura.
He looked at Jaden, "Is this how it feels to be infused with your power?" Jaden nodded, "Yeah, with this, once you win you will be able to free Derek from the brainwashing". Bastion smiled and did a thumbs up, "Leave it to me". Jaden nodded, knowing that if it were Bastion he would definitely win.
Jaden then felt something next to him and saw that Yubel had appeared. Bastion followed his gaze and his eyes widened a little, "I… I can see Yubel". Jaden nodded, "Yeah I know, Sy were just as shocked as you were at first, but since he can still see spirits even though the power I transferred to him has left him, I figure it will be the same with you, just wait until you can communicate with the spirits of your own deck, that's one of the thing I like the most with my powers".
Bastion looked at him and a smile appeared on his face, "Yeah, I guess that must be pretty cool. I can't wait until I can hear them, now then I still have some work to do". He turned back to his deck and began looking through it.
Jaden looked at some of his cards and then his eyes widened, "Bastion, are you really gonna use this deck? It might actually help Derek if he gets a certain monster on the field".
Bastion looked at Jaden with a smirk, "I know about that, but I have a secret weapon I have been planning on using for a while now".
He showed Jaden a card and Jaden got a smile on his face, "Sweet, I can't wait to see that thing in action". Bastion nodded and then continued looking through his deck.
AN HALF HOUR LATER AT THE OBELISK ARENA,
Jaden and the others sat in the spectator seats and the white students sat at the opposite side of the arena while shouting, "Oh hail the Light, oh hail the Light, oh hail the Light". Jaden looked at the students that had been brainwashed with a sad look in his eyes, wishing that he could just face Sartorius right now and save them all at once, but until that happened they would have to save them one at the time.
Crowler then stood up as both Derek and Bastion walked up on the stage, "Now, the duel between Derek Jones and Bastion Misawa to decide where we will go on our field trip will begin".
Derek and Bastion both placed their decks in to their Duel Disks and drew their first five cards. Bastion placed his fingers on his deck, "I'll take the first move, here we go". He drew his next card and looked at it.
"I'll start by summoning one monster face down in defense mode…" A monster appeared face down in defense mode before Bastion grabbed another card in his hand, "And next I play Meteor of Destruction, so since you have more than 3000 life points, I can deal 1000 points of damage to you".
Derek looked up to see a burning meteor coming down towards him, he covered his face right before it hit him, Derek LP: 4000-3000. Derek gritted his teeth while he looked at Bastion, Bastion then looked at his hand and grabbed a card in it, "And now I end my turn with one face down".
Jaden nodded his head, "Not bad, it's his first turn and he has already reduced Derek's life points by 1000, just 3000 more to go and then Derek will be free". Syrus looked at Jaden confused, "Uh Jaden, just one question, which deck is Bastion using? I have never seen him use Meteor of Destruction before".
Jaden looked at him with a smirk, "Well to tell the truth Sy, you might be surprised over what kind of deck he chose to use today, let's just say that I was shocked, but I think we will get to see a good duel here today". Syrus looked at Jaden a little confused over what he meant.
Derek took and drew his next card and looked at it, "I take and summon my Molten Zombie in attack mode". A Burning Zombie appeared on the field while it growled, Atk: 1600.
Derek then took and pointed at Bastion's face down monster, "Now Molten Zombie, attack his face down card". Molten Zombie formed a lava ball and tossed it towards his face down monster, it got flipped face up and it was a turtle with what looked like an UFO on its back, Def: 1200, it was hit by the lava ball and got destroyed.
Bastion looked at Derek, "When UFO Turtle is destroyed in battle and sent to the graveyard, I can special summon one fire attribute monster from my deck to the field, as long as it has 1500 attack points or less".
A card came out of Bastion's deck and he grabbed it, "And I'll choose this one, so come forth Solar Flare Dragon". A burning dragon appeared on the field while it roared, Atk: 1500.
Derek narrowed his eyes and grabbed a card in his hand, "I end my turn with one face down". A card appeared in front of Derek.
Bastion then took and drew his next card and looked at it, "Now I start with the spell card Graceful Charity, so now I get to draw three more cards, but then I have to discard two from my hand".
Bastion drew three more cards and looked at them, he then grabbed one of them and another card in his hand and placed them in his graveyard, "Next I activate Rush Recklessly, so now until the end of this turn, my Solar Flare Dragon gain 700 attack points". Solar Flare Dragon roared as his power increased, Atk: 1500-2200.
Bastion pointed towards Molten Zombie, "Now Solar Flare Dragon attack, his Molten Zombie". Solar Flare Dragon fired a fireball from his mouth that hit and destroyed Molten Zombie, Derek LP: 3000-2400.
Bastion then took and grabbed a card in his hand, "Next I summon Fox Fire in defense mode". Fox Fire appeared on the field and sat down, Def: 200.
Bastion looked at Derek while he grabbed a card in his hand, "Now I end my turn with a face down, which means that Solar Flare Dragon now loses 700 attack points…" Solar Flare Dragon, Atk: 2200-1500. However Solar Flare Dragon began gathering fire in his mouth, "But now Solar Flare Dragon's special ability activates, which means that you will take 500 points of damage during each of my end phases". Solar Flare Dragon fired another fireball that hit Derek, Atk: 2400-1900.
Derek then placed his fingers on his deck, "It's my turn now, I draw". He drew his next card and looked at it, he then looked Bastion while revealing his card, "You're not the only one with this card, I now activate Graceful Charity, so now I draw three cards and then I discard two".
Derek drew three cards and looked at them, he then grabbed two of them and placed them in his graveyard, he then looked at Bastion, "And for your information, the two cards I discarded were two Volcanic Scattershots, and so you now lose 500 life points for each one of them". Two three headed burning lizard like creatures appeared on the field and flew towards Bastion and hit him, Bastion LP: 4000-3000.
Derek then placed the third card into his Duel Disk, "And thanks to Pot of Greed, I draw two more cards". He then drew two more cards which meant he now had six cards in his hand.
Derek looked at Bastion, "I know you summoned Fox Fire to protect Solar Flare Dragon, since I can't attack him if you have another pyro type monster on the field, and if he's destroyed in battle while face up on the field then he's revived at the end of the turn, which means that he's a good shield to protect him, but neither of them will remain on the field for long, but before that I will inflict a bit of damage to you".
Derek grabbed a card in his hand, "I now activate Soul of Fire, so now you get to draw a card, and then I get to remove a pyro type monster from my deck from play and deal damage to you equal to half of its attack points".
Bastion narrowed his eyes and drew one card, a card then came out of Derek's deck and he revealed it, "I choose my Infernal Flame Emperor, which means that you will now lose 1350 life points". He then placed it into his back pocket and Bastion got surrounded by a pillar of fire, Bastion LP: 3000-1650.
Derek grabbed two cards in his hand, "Next I send my Flame Ruler to the graveyard to activate my spell card Lightning Vortex, so now I can destroy all of your face up monsters".
He sent the said monster to the graveyard and lightning strikes hit Bastion's field and both Solar Flare Dragon and Fox Fire were destroyed, Bastion gritted his teeth, Derek then with a smirk grabbed one of the last three cards in his hand, "Next I summon Great Angus in attack mode". Great Angus appeared on the field, Atk: 1800.
Derek then grabbed one of the last two cards in his hand, "Next I play the spell card Quick Summon, which lets me normal summon a second monster this turn, and I choose my Ultimate Baseball Kid". Ultimate Baseball Kid appeared on the field, Atk: 500.
Derek looked at Bastion, "And this guy gains 1000 attack points for every fire monster on the field except for himself, so he now gains 1000 for the Great Angus". Ultimate Baseball Kid, Atk: 500-1500.
Derek then pointed towards Bastion, "And now Great Angus, attack his life points directly and make him see the Light". Great Angus rushed towards Bastion to finish him off. Bastion pressed a button on his Duel Disk, "I activate Negate attack, so not only is your attack negated, but your battle phase is over".
Derek gritted his teeth while Great Angus's attack were blocked, "Fine, I end my turn but let me tell you it's hopeless, even if you summon a decent monster you will only make my Baseball Kid stronger since you apparently were foolish enough to face me with a fire deck, now make your final move and then I will make you see the Light".
Bastion narrowed his eyes, he didn't like to admit it, but he did have a bit of a point, he were in a bit of a situation here, he looked at his hand, he had Raging Flame Sprite, a Infernal Reckless Summon, his own Flame Ruler and a Soul Release spell card that he had drawn when Derek activated Soul of Fire, right now the cards in his hand couldn't really help him. If he had had more protection cards in his hand, he could have summoned Raging Flame Sprite, because it's special ability allows it to attack the opponent directly and each time it inflicted damage to an opponent through a direct attack it would gain 1000 attack points.
Derek chuckled while looking at Bastion, "Come on Misawa, I mean you don't have the slightest chance at beating me since I have seen the Light, even Jaden wouldn't be able to beat me now and you're not as skilled as he is".
Bastion gritted his teeth when he heard Derek looking down on his skills as a duelist. But then he heard a roar behind him, he looked behind him and saw that his three Solar Flare Dragons were there, the one in his graveyard and the two that were still in his deck.
He then saw how something else appeared behind his Solar Flare Dragons. It was a much larger serpentine dragon of fire that didn't have arms, legs or wings. It also looked at him while growling, telling him not to lose hope.
Bastion smiled and them, but then he looked towards the spectator seats as he heard Jaden call out his name and saw him standing up. "Don't listen to him Bastion, I know you can win this, you are one of the best duelists I know and so Derek won't stand a chance against you, remember, just trust your deck and if you have real faith in it, then it will answer you now". Syrus, Atticus and Hassleberry stood up and nodded and cheered for Bastion as well.
Bastion looked at his deck, That's right, not only are my friends supporting me, but the spirits of the monsters in my deck as well, so all I have to do is trust it and it will answer me, he thought to himself.
Bastion placed his fingers on his deck, "It's my move, so here we go". Bastion drew his next card and looked at it, "I now play my own Pot of Greed spell card, so now I get to draw two more cards from my deck".
Bastion drew two more cards from his deck and looked at them, a smirk then appeared on his face which caused Derek to raise an eyebrow. Bastion looked at him, "You have played a pretty good duel Derek but this match will soon be over, and it all starts with my Monster Reborn card which I use to bring back my Solar Flare Dragon". Solar Flare Dragon appeared on the field, Atk: 1500.
Derek got a smirk on his face, "Big deal, the only good thing that move will do is increasing my Baseball Kid's attack points". Ultimate Baseball Kid, Atk: 1500-2500. Bastion then grabbed a card in his hand, "Next I play the spell card Infernal Reckless Summon. I can activate this spell card when I special summon a monster with 1500 attack points or less, you get to pick a monster on your side of the field, and then you get to summon every copy you have of it from your deck, hand or graveyard to the field, and I'll get to summon every copy of the monster I special summoned as well".
Derek gritted his teeth while a card came out of his deck and another Great Angus appeared on his field, Atk: 1800. Bastion grabbed the Solar Flare Dragon in his hand while the third one came out his deck and he summoned them both to the field, Atk x 2: 1500.
Bastion looked at Derek, "Of course, since there is now three more fire monsters on the field, Ultimate Baseball Kid gains 3000 more attack points". Ultimate Baseball Kid, Atk: 2500-5500. Bastion however had a smirk on his face, "However, all of his attack points are useless, and I beat you know why right?" Derek gritted his teeth, because my attacks are completely sealed now".
Syrus looked at Jaden, "What does he mean by that?" Jaden looked at Syrus, "Remember Solar Flare Dragon's special abilities? One of them is that as long as there is another pyro type monster on the field he can't be attacked, and right now Bastion have three, so he can't attack any of them since there is other pyro type monsters on his field, only it's three of the same monster with the same abilities".
Atticus nodded, "Yeah, and each one of them will take away 500 of Derek's life points during each of Bastion's end phases, so he will lose 1500 life points every time Bastion ends his turn".
Syrus looked down at the field with a look of understanding on his face now, "So not only can't Derek attack, but he will lose life points at the end of each of Bastion's turns, and since Derek only have 1900 life points left..:" Jaden nodded, "If Bastion use that tactic, it would be game over once his next turn ended, however considering the look on his face, I have a feeling it will end this turn". Syrus and the others looked at Bastion confused as he grabbed another card in his hand.
"Now I activate Soul Release, so now I can choose up to five cards from either of our graves and remove them from the game, and I choose to remove your two Volcanic Scattershots, your Molten Zombie and your Flame Ruler from the game".
Derek grabbed the cards that came out of his graveyard and placed them in to his back pocket, "So you're gonna tell me what the point of that move are?" Bastion then grabbed another card in his hand, "You will find out once I activate, the spell card Fire Explosion".
Derek looked confused as more fire began to come out of the three Solar Flare Dragons, "I can activate this when I have three fire attribute monsters on my field, so now I can sacrifice my three Solar Flare Dragons to special summon Fire Dragon from my hand or deck".
An explosion of flames happened around the three Solar Flare Dragons while a card came out of Bastion's deck. Bastion grabbed the card and placed it on the field. All the fire on the field then began to take a shape, and then the serpentine dragon of fire that had appeared in spirit form were on the field, Atk: 2700. Bastion looked at Derek. "And since two fire monsters have left the field, your Baseball Kid's attack points decrease". Ultimate Baseball Kid, Atk: 5500-3500.
Derek looked at Bastion with a raised eyebrow, "You do know that that was a foolish move right? Now not only won't I lose any life points when your turn is over, but I can also attack again, and that Fire Dragon is still no match for my Baseball Kid".
Bastion looked at him, "Don't be so sure, my Fire Dragon's special ability increases his attack points by 100 for every fire monster that have been removed for both players, and five of yours have been removed from the game". Fire Dragon roared as the heat of fire that his body was made of became more intense, Atk: 2700-3200.
Derek looked at Bastion with a smirk, "Not too bad, but the best you can do is defeat one of my Angus's, and even so if I draw another fire monster next turn, he will destroy your dragon and my other Angus's will destroy you".
Bastion revealed Raging Flame Sprite in his hand, "You won't get a next turn because I activate Fire Dragon's second special ability, so by sending a fire monster in my hand to the graveyard, he can negate the special abilities of a monster on the field until the end of the turn, even the abilities that activates if the monster is sent to the graveyard. And obviously I pick your Ultimate Baseball Kid".
Derek looked worried as he saw that Ultimate Baseball Kid lowered his bat and looked really exhausted, Atk: 3500-500. Bastion then pointed towards Ultimate Baseball Kid, "If you trust your deck a miracle can happen, a friend has shown me that many times now, and now Fire Dragon, attack his Baseball Kid with Flame Burst". Fire Dragon opened his mouth and fired a blast of fire towards Ultimate Baseball Kid and destroyed him, Derek LP: 1900-0.
Derek then grabbed his head while he groaned before he screamed as the piece of the Light inside of him came out of his body and exploded before Derek collapsed on the stage. Bastion ran over to him while Jaden and the others ran down from the spectator seats and jumped up on the stage to check if Derek was okay as well.
Bastion looked at Jaden and nodded his head, Jaden stood up and looked at Crowler and Bonaparte and saw Crowler looking worried, "He's okay Crowler, he's just unconscious". Crowler looked a little wondering over what had just happened but decided not to think too much about it. However Bonaparte knew that a lot of white students who had dueled against Jaden and his friends had collapsed after they were defeated, and he planned on figure out why.
Jaden looked towards Sartorius who just looked at Jaden with a calm expression on his face, he figured that Sartorius had figured that this would happen and that it didn't matter much to him if he lost Derek.
Crowler then stood up and held up the mike, "And since Bastion is the winner, Jaden will decide where we will go on the field trip like he requested". Jaden looked at Bastion who nodded with a smile as did the others.
Jaden looked towards every student in the arena with a huge smile on his face before he said in excitement, "Well then, I decide that our field trip will be to Domino City, Yugi Muto's hometown".
So Jaden and the gang was discussion what to do about Sartorius and the students he had brainwashed, when Atticus arrived at the Slifer dorm to tell them that Sartorius was going to give a suggestion about where to go on their coming field trip. It ended up with that Bastion was gonna face Derek Jones in a duel to decide where to go on the trip. And in the end Bastion defeated Derek and then he allowed Jaden to choose where they would go, and he chose the hometown of Yugi Muto, the king of games, Domino City. So what will happen to the gang during the field trip? Continue reading to find out and please review.
