Heya guys we're back on this! I had noticed the negative commits about Kevin, and he was only worried about Jaden, and wanted him to have a normal life, without Yubel suddenly giving him something that belongs to him of a Destiny. ENJOY!
Kevin reached the phone, and dialed Kaiba waiting for him to pick up. Kevin received a busy tone. Before it answered.
"Kevin, now's really not the best time. A mysterious, I don't even know what it is just appeared over the planet so make it fast." Kaiba told him.
"Well for one thing the cards you gave me work, second the Light taken over Jaden but I managed to free him, and that Yubel card I asked you to launch to space?" Kevin gone over. "She's back."
"I noticed, the satellite landed a few weeks ago." Kaiba answered. "Still, if the Light got to your brother I suggest you check on him."
"There's more to it. Yubel might be linked to either the Light or a evil energy called the Orichalcos." Kevin told him.
"Orichalcos, you mean the Seal of Orichalcos?" Kaiba asked. "That's impossible, it was completely destroyed years ago."
"I thought so but Jaden has a copy of it right now." Kevin told him.
The line was silent for a minute.
"Get Jaden on the line now." Kaiba stated.
"Right I'll be back." Kevin said placing the phone on the booth before running to the Slifer Dorm.
When Kevin reached Jaden's room he opened the door to see Jaden on the ground unconscious.
"Jaden!" Kevin cried shocked as he ran to his brother, and shook him. "Jaden wake up!"
Jaden didn't respond but he didn't appear to be in pain and some of his scattered cards were starting to reappear along with some new ones.
"What the?" Kevin picked on one, and said shocked "Hey this is... Neo-Spacian Aqua Dolphin. But how did they get turned to real Duel Monster cards?"
Suddenly a flash of rainbow light enveloped the final card.
"Ah!" Kevin covered his eyes.
When the light faded the card revealed itself to be Elemental Hero Neos as Jaden slowly started waking up.
"Huh Neos?" Kevin asked shocked picking it up. "But..."
"Kevin, what's going on?" Jaden asked with a yawn.
"Jaden!" Kevin asked before getting serious, "Okay what have you been up too young man?"
"Having a conversation with a dolphin." Jaden answered. "You?"
"Having a conversation with a what?" Kevin asked confused before shaking his head. "Okay we'll talk later! Come on!"
Kevin grabbed the cards, and Jaden's hand before started to drag him out.
"Hey, what's going on?" Jaden asked.
Both Kevin, and Jaden reached the booth as he said to Kaiba, "He's here."
He handed the phone to Jaden saying "Someone important wants to talk to you."
"Jaden Yuki?" Kaiba asked.
"Yeah that's me." Jaden answered taking the phone.
"It's Seto Kaiba, I hear you have a unique field spell. Have you used it yet?" Kaiba questioned.
"No I haven't." Jaden answered.
"Good, that card is incredibly dangerous. I'll be arriving to take it first thing tomorrow morning." Kaiba stated.
"Huh, you can't. I need this card." Jaden argued.
"Jaden..." Kevin said nervously. "That's my boss your talking back to."
"I don't care, you're the one who taught me never to just ignore someone who needs help Kevin." Jaden said. "I feel in my heart that I have to help this girl and if you won't help me I'll do it on my own, but I'm not letting anyone keep me from helping her."
"Jaden listen you can't help her!" Kevin told him.
"Why not, give me one good reason!" Jaden argued.
"Because I said so!" Kevi8n yelled before taking the phone back. "Sorry Kaiba he's being stubborn. I'll make sure the card gets to you."
"No you won't!" Jaden shouted. "If you won't help me then... then..."
As Jaden said that he activated his duel disc.
"I play the Seal of Orichalcos!"
"Jaden don't!" Kevin cried to stop him. "If you play that your soul will get stolen!"
Jaden didn't listen as the Seal appeared and a badly injured and weakened Yubel appeared in front of them.
"Please, Jaden..." Yubel gasped out weakly.
"That voice, you're..." Jaden started before grabbing his head in pain. "Kevin, she's in pain we need to help her."
Kevin grunted before running, and managing to take the Seal out of the Duel Disk as both the seal, and Yubel vanished.
"Jaden Yuki don't you dare do that again!" Kevin scolded at his brother.
Jaden just stared at where Yubel was as if trying desperately to remember a long forgotten friend.
"You know who that was don't you?" Jaden asked. "We've seen her before haven't we?"
"Jaden go to your room." Kevin only said sternly pointing at the dorm.
Jaden didn't move before gasping in shock.
"Yubel!"
That was when Kevin panicked, "Jaden go to your room right now!"
"Kevin you were wrong about her, please listen to me!" Jaden cried. "It was never her fault. It was mine!"
"Go to your room!" Kevin yelled again.
"When did you become a heartless monster who won't even listen to what people tell him?" Jaden questioned. "Maybe... maybe saving you was the wrong thing to do!"
"Jaden, Yubel was very dangerous!" Kevin yelled at him before picking the Seal up, and saying to Kaiba on the phone, "Sorry Kaiba I'll be there to give you the Card shortly."
"No you won't, I'm saving Yubel even if I have to go through you." Jaden said before Neos appeared and struck Kevin causing him to drop the card as Jaden picked it up and ran.
Kevin grunted as he said to Kaiba, "Big problem Kaiba. Not only did Jaden found out about Yubel, he also ran with the Seal."
"Kevin, I'm going to say this one time. Stop Jaden by any means necessary, am I clear?" Kaiba questioned.
"Crystal." Kevin nodded.
"Then get going, who knows what your brother might do." Kaiba told him before hanging up.
Kevin hanged up before he grunted, 'Jaden... what will it take for you to realize that Yubel is nothing but an evil spirit who has an obsession for you?"
Suddenly a memory came back to Kevin.
Flashback...
"Hey Kevin do you see this awesome card?" Jaden asked with a smile. "She's awesome isn't she?"
"What card?" Kevin asked.
"The one dad got me, Yubel." Jaden smiled showing off the monster. "First the Seto Kaiba gives me a one of a kind card and then Dad gets me the most awesome one of all. Yubel's my partner forever, we're never losing a single match."
Suddenly Jaden looked at the card.
"Is she kind of pretty big brother?"
Kevin looked, and feels a bit un-eased, and thought'Something's not right about this one...'
"I don't know why, but I think Yubel and I are going to be best friends forever." Jaden smiled. "We'll always keep each other safe, and happy because that's what best friends do. I promise nothing bad will ever happen to you as long as I'm here."
Kevin just continued looking at the card like something is familiar about it.
Flashback End...
Kevin grunted, "I gotta stop Jaden before he tries to find her!"
He started to run to follow Jaden before stopping grunting a bit.
"Kevin Yuki... I'm back..." A familiar voice told him as he gasped recognizing him,
Kevin turned towards the voice.
It was... Malek.
"You, but how are you here? It's impossible." Kevin pointed out.
"I am everywhere, and now I can take over again!" Malek cried as he started taking over Kevin as he tried to resist to no avail.
Just before Kevin lost total control he saw the seal appearing in the distance. Then Malek's mask appeared on him as he chuckled, "I am back... Now where to find Jaden Yuki."
Meanwhile...
"Yubel, how can I help you?" Jaden asked desperately. "There has to be something I can do."
"There isn't, at least not on your own. You need Kevin's help, the Light has to be stopped before..." Yubel answered weakly before crying in pain.
"Yubel!" Jaden cried.
"I'll be fine for a bit longer, but without Kevin I won't be." Yubel said weakly. "And Jaden, tell him... tell him out was because you share the soul of the person I loved."
"He thinks you are dangerous, and doesn't want me to help you." Jaden told him.
"Jaden, no matter what I have to keep you both safe. Something dangerous is coming and you two are the only ones with any hope of stopping it. I failed to help the man I loved once, I won't do that again." Yubel told him. "He may hate me, but all I ever wanted to do was keep you safe. If he hates me that much there's something we can do to settle things once and for all but right now I'm asking for your help so I can help you."
"Sounds like an excuse." A voice said to them.
The two of them turned toward the voice. It was Malek wearing the clothing Kevin wore when he was possessed.
"You!" Jaden cried in shock. "What are you doing back here?"
"Let's say that the darkness, and rage your brother shares against this Yubel had awakened me back to the mortal plane." Malek smirked. "Now that I am back I would like to get revenge on you for defeating me seems like the Sacred Beasts were failed at being collected by the Shadow Riders."
"Darkness... Fight him Kevin, the darkness doesn't control you." Yubel called to him as white sparks began racing across her body and she cried out in pain. "You control it, you and Jaden both. Whatever history we may have, I know you're not this weak."
"Why don't you just hush?" Malek told Yubel in annoyance.
"Because I swore to protect the Supreme King, and I don't know which of them he is but until I do I'll use every bit of strength I have to protect them both!" Yubel cried before her third eye started to faintly glow.
Inside Kevin's head...
Kevin was just looking around doing nothing.
"Kevin, can you hear me?" asked a faint voice.
Kevin gasped before asking in anger, "You... what are you doing here?"
"Listen, I know you hate me and you have every reason to. But if you don't do something that thing is going to defeat your brother, whatever bad blood we had... There's a way to destroy a Duel Spirit like me forever, save Jaden and I'll tell you. You have my word." Yubel's voice told him. "All that matters right now is keeping him safe."
"You could forget it Yubel." Kevin growled. "Ever since I sent you to space do you know what I was trying to do? Making sure Jaden won't remember you, after you nearly killed me. And now thanks to you for coming back, and I am trying to make sure Jaden doesn't remember you he now hates me, and I hate you for it every single part of the Universe! You would've been better to be left off to space Yubel!"
"This isn't about us, something controlling you is challenging Jaden right now." Yubel told him.
"I don't care. Give me one good reason too!" Kevin yelled. "I would rather have Malek destroy everything then seeing you again."
"Fine, I'll tell you everything." Yubel relented before revealing her entire history up to the death of the Supreme King and her eventual first meeting with Kevin and Jaden.
"I could tell that one of you was Haou reborn but could be sure which one. Jaden's personality though, it was exactly the same as Haou's as a young boy and so I swore I wouldn't let anyone harm him and I would stay at his side forever. Whether or not you trust me doesn't matter, the tiny part of my mind that wasn't corrupted will be gone soon and all that remains will be the corruption from the Light of Destruction. I'm asking you, as someone who truly cares about Jaden to put aside your hatred so we can help him. That's all I ask, please..."
With those words Yubel's voice faded.
Kevin absorbed her words.
Outside the mind...
"Are you all set Jaden?" Malek smirked activating his Duel Disk.
"Hey!"
Malek turned to see who was talking. It was Atticus wearing some brown, and black clothing.
"Atticus, it's too dangerous." Jaden said.
"Don't forget me, and Kevin used to be Shadow Riders. So I will get him back." Atticus said activating his Duel Disk.
"Not on your own you won't." said a second voice as Zane walked up next to him. "Besides, it's time to show him what a real duelist is capable of."
Atticus nodded as they get ready.
"Since this is a two on one match I will have 8000." Malek smirked.

Atticus and Zane wins the duel!
As his Life Points dropped the fog on him was blown back, and the mask shattered before stunned knelled. As the duel ended Zane collapsed to one knee as black sparks passed across his body and he grabbed his chest in pain. Kevin shook his head asking "Wh-Wh-What happened?"
"We were hoping you could tell us, there was a green glow and when we got here Malek took over again." Atticus answered.
"Oh yeah, and-" Kevin growled a bit as he said "You should have just let Malek alone."
"What are you talking about?" Zane questioned.
"Yubel that's what. Jaden remembered her, and now he hates me." Kevin answered.
"Hate you, I could never hate you Kevin." Jaden told him.
"Do you remember the words you just said Jaden?" Kevin asked him. "Like 'When did you become a heartless monster who won't even listen to what people tell him?', or 'Maybe saving you was the wrong thing to do!' or perhaps, 'I'm saving Yubel even if I have to go through you.'?"
"I know, and I still mean those things bro." Jaden stated. "That doesn't mean I hate you, I could never hate you but if you aren't going to help I'm still saving Yubel. Things are different, you know they are."
"They are not." Kevin told him. "I have been trying to make sure you won't remember Yubel again after what happened, and I ended up failing,"
"That's why we sent her away, so she wouldn't hurt people anymore." Jaden argued. "She deserves a second chance."
"No she doesn't!" Kevin snapped.
"You did, Camula did, I did? What makes her different?" Jaden questioned. "You're the one who taught me that. She's no different than anyone else."
"She lost her second chance too late." Kevin answered.
"She never got one with you! If she's still as bad as you remember once we save her fine but people change." Jaden stated.
"Not all of them." Kevin told him. "Titan was beaten before, and when he returned he haven't changed."
"That's all the more reason to give her a chance." Jaden pointed out. "If whatever took over me takes over her she'll be here even if we don't try and help. Then what will we do? She deserves another chance, if she's still like before then fine. Just don't cast her aside especially not when she needs us."
"All she needs is you." Kevin said. "She doesn't need anyone but you."
"Kevin, even if that's true I need your help." Jaden told him.
"She hurt me to the brink of death, spooked out everyone to where they refuse to duel you, and now she caused you to quit Dueling, and you still forgive her?" Kevin asked. "Some people will never change, and Yubel is one of them."
"Do you remember the day my cards went into space?" Jaden asked.
"Yeah I asked Kaiba to send Yubel to space to make sure you wouldn't remember her." Kevin answered.
"Kevin..." Jaden started before shaking his head and activating his duel disc. "If dueling is the only way you'll give her a chance I'll duel and beat you!"
"You never defeated me ever Jaden, and you still haven't." Kevin told him.
"You've never dueled Neos." Jaden countered.
"You've never dueled Blue-Eyes." Kevin countered.
"Then we don't know what will happen." Jaden noted.
"Fine." Kevin said getting ready.
And that was the second duel with Malek! What will happen next in this second clash between brothers? Be sure to review!
