Yu-Gi-Oh GX: Season 2 – The Gentle Darkness vs The Light of Destruction
Last time, Jaden and the others quickly went to the Domino Pier in order to face Blaze so they would learn where Syrus and Hassleberry. The conditions for the duel between Jaden and Blaze was the same as when Yugi faced Joey in their life and death duel at the docks while being tied to an anchor, the only difference were that the timer for Jaden and Blaze had been set at 30 minutes instead of 60. For a while the duel was at a stalemate as Jaden regained the damage he took while dealing damage to Blaze. But then Blaze managed to get rid of Jaden's Gravity Bind and destroyed his Bowganian. Then Jaden got into trouble when Blaze summoned a monster Sarina gave him, Dragoon – The Explosion Dragon. However Jaden managed to win the duel by summoning both Hamon and Raviel and freed Blaze before the anchor sank to the bottom of the ocean with the help of Quickclaw, but he was still captured by Sarina, who then told Jaden to go to Kaiba Land, but what will happen once Jaden and the others gets there?
Chapter 25- Facing Sarina, enter the Dark Creator
Jaden glared at Sarina, "So they're at Kaiba Land huh? So I guess that the pods they were in are their virtual reality pods am I right?"
Sarina nodded with a smirk, "Indeed, and so I will be waiting for you and Aster inside of the virtual reality, so you should really hurry up and get there", then the mirror disappeared.
Jaden then hurried over to the others and then looked at Aster, "I guess we should get going Aster". Aster looked at him, "Listen Jaden, the safety of your friends are not a big concern for me, what I want the most now is answers, like why do you possess the power to summon monsters for real, and is that the reason why Sartorius is so obsessed with you?"
Jaden looked Aster straight in the eyes, "Aster, I will explain everything to you but now is not the right time, help me save Sy and Hassleberry and I will answer everything you want to know as well as I can".
Aster narrowed his eyes, since he wanted to know right now, but he then slowly nodded, agreeing to help in order to get the answers he wanted. Jaden then looked towards Bastion, Atticus and Solomon, "Alright guys, Aster and me should get to Kaiba Land as soon as possible, so catch up with us as soon as you can".
Bastion and Atticus nodded while Solomon looked a little confused over what Jaden meant. Jaden then opened two of his deck boxes and pulled out two cards, his eye then turned golden and the cards began to glow.
Solomon took a step backward when Elemental Hero Flame Wingman and Elemental Dragon Hero Quickclaw appeared before them. Jaden looked at Aster, "These two are probably my two fastest duel spirits, so they will bring us to Kaiba Land in no time".
Aster nodded and then Quickclaw grabbed him while Flame Wingman grabbed Jaden and then both of them vanished in high speed. Atticus then looked at Bastion and Solomon, "We should get going too". Both of them nodded and all three of them began to run in Kaiba Land's direction.
A FEW MINUTES LATER,
Jaden and Aster walked out of a alley, Quickclaw and Flame Wingman had landed there to drop them off in order to not draw attention to them. Jaden looked at Aster, "You ready to go Aster?" Aster looked at him and nodded.
They then entered the building there and walked through the corridor. Both of them then saw how the lights got turned on and a door opened in front of them. They entered the room in front of them and looked around, they couldn't see Syrus, Hassleberry or Sarina.
But then a moment later a blinding light appeared, both of them covered their eyes, "What the heck is going on here?" Jaden wondered the same thing, but before he could try and figure it out everything went blank for both of them.
The next time Jaden opened his eyes, he got up on all four and looked around and saw that the surrounding looked like a prototype video game, with data circuits all around them. He then looked at Aster who also had gotten up on all four, "So I guess our minds got digitized and was transported into the virtual reality".
Aster looked at him, "Geez, what was your first clue genius?" Jaden ignored him and both of them got up on their feet. They then heard loud footsteps coming towards them.
They then saw a large Tyrannosaurus Rex appear from around the corner and it had Hassleberry's bandana around his head, "Sarge, I knew you would come for us". Then they heard what sounded like wheels and saw a yellow car with eyes and a mouth appear from the other corner.
He looked depressed but still got a small smile on his face, "Oh Jaden, I'm so happy you have come to rescue us, I want to return to normal and go back home, and so does Hassleberry". Hassleberry nodded as both of them came over to Aster and Jaden.
Aster looked around, "Yeah well, I have a feeling that getting out won't be as easy as getting in was, I'm pretty sure we won't be able to leave until we earn our freedom in a duel".
Jaden nodded, and then he noticed something, he looked at the wall next to him and saw images of Blaze and T-Bone, "Oh no, T-Bone and Blaze". Aster looked next to him, "And there is Frost and who I believe is Thunder".
Jaden gritted his teeth, "Alright that's it, Sarina is going down for everything she has done, that's a promise".
Then the moment after he said that, the walls around them disappeared and they saw Sarina appear in front of them with a smirk, "Well if that's the case, then prove it to me Jaden".
Jaden looked at Sarina, "I just want to know, why did you kidnap my friends like that to make me duel your little helpers before facing you?" Aster then looked at Sarina, "And I also am wondering something, why did you drag me here as well?"
Sarina closed her eyes, "Because both of you are involved in my brother's destiny, while we knew that Jaden would stand in his way, he had predicted that you would stand by his side through all of this Aster, but now he's not so sure about that anymore".
Aster looked shocked, "So you're saying that my destiny have changed since meeting Jaden?" Sarina looked at him, "There is only one way to find out, Aster, pair up together with Jaden to see what kind of fate awaits my brother, as well as both of you".
Jaden looked at her, "Look, I already know what kind of fate that's waiting for me and your brother, it's him being stopped by me before his evil plan can be completed". He then pointed towards Syrus and Hassleberry, "Instead, will you promise to free my friends, as well as the members of the Light Brigade and send us back home?"
Sarina nodded with a smirk, "I shall promise that, and now, the life points on both sides will be a shared amount of 8000 points, meaning that you will both be eliminated at once if your points reaches zero".
Jaden looked at Aster, "Aster, what do you say, are you willing to team up with me?" Aster narrowed his eyes, "Fine, let's form a tag team Jaden". Jaden smiled at Aster, thankful that he would help him.
Aster however then looked at Jaden with a serious expression, "But don't misunderstand, I'm not doing this because I care about your friends, I'm only doing this so that I will finally get some answers about what's going on here".
Jaden nodded before he looked at Syrus and Hassleberry, It doesn't matter what his reasons for helping me is, I will need his help if we're gonna have a chance to save Sy and Hassleberry as well as the Light Brigade and get us out of this place, Jaden thought to himself.
Jaden then looked at Sarina with eyes full of determination, "So our tag team is all ready to go, but you're all alone right? How are you gonna face us like that?"
Sarina chuckled, "My partner is right here, my tag team partner will be a mirror image of myself". Then all of them saw how Sarina split into two. Jaden narrowed his eyes, "Oh great, dealing with one of you was bad enough, and now you cloned yourself? That's just perfect".
Syrus looked at Jaden, "Don't worry about something like that Jaden, just keep your head in the game, we know that you and Aster can win this and set us all free from this place".
Jaden looked at him again and then Hassleberry who nodded, "Yeah Sarge, I mean you're one of the best duelists I know, probably even the best, and so with Aster's help, there is no way you can lose this".
Jaden smiled and nodded, he then looked towards Sarina, "So, how are we gonna duel since we don't have Duel Disks or our decks in here?" Sarina and her clone chuckled and held up their right arms and Jaden and Aster's eyes widened when Duel Disks appeared on them.
The original Sarina looked at them, "Just focus on your decks and Duel Disks and they will appear, but as for you Jaden, you can only choose one of your decks". Aster narrowed his eyes and held up his arm while a Duel Disk along with his deck appeared on his arm.
Jaden however was currently thinking about which deck to use, he thought that it might not be good to unleash the power of the Sacred Beasts inside of this virtual reality, as it might make it unstable.
He closed his eyes, he knew that that meant that he had to choose between his Elemental Hero deck and his Elemental Dragon Hero deck, and it was a tough choice.
Jaden then looked at Aster, he then narrowed his eyes as he decided, he held up his arm and a Duel Disk appeared on his arm with a deck in it. He looked towards his friends, silently promising them to end this as fast as he could and get them out of this place.
All four of them then activated their Duel Disks and drew their first five cards, the original Sarina took and drew her next card, "I will take the first turn, so..." She looked at the card she had drawn and looked at it, "I now summon Silver Spirit – Ukyo in attack mode". A monster that its arms and head wrapped in bandages appeared on the field, Atk: 800.
Sarina then grabbed a card in her hand, "Next I place one card face down…" a card appeared in front of her, then she held up the card she had just drawn, "And finally I activate the continuous spell card Full Moon Mirror".
A few waves appeared from the center of the field and a green object with what looked like closed eyes appeared there, then a full moon appeared above them.
Jaden looked at the moon, feeling troubled by its presence, "I have no idea what that's suppose to do, but I doubt it's good". Aster looked at him, "Geez, what makes you think that?" But even while he was being sarcastic he agreed with Jaden.
Sarina looked at Jaden, "And since this is a tag team duel, no player can attack until all of us have had at least one turn, so now I end my turn". Jaden looked at her while placing his fingers on his deck, "Then it's my turn then, I draw".
Jaden drew his sixth card and looked at it, "I now summon Elemental Dragon Hero Archangel in defense mode". A bright light appeared above them and Archangel descended down from the sky and landed on a knee and crossed his arms in front of him, Def: 2000.
Jaden looked at Sarina, "As long as this guy remains on the field, every Elemental Dragon Hero gains 100 attack points for each level they have", Archangel then roared while he got covered by a golden aura, Atk: 1000-1400.
Then a card came out of Jaden's deck and he grabbed it, "And also, whenever Archangel is summoned, I can add an Elemental Dragon Fusion from my deck to my hand". Jaden then showed the fusion card.
Syrus looked at Jaden, "So he picked his Elemental Dragon Hero deck huh? I know it's powerful, so it shouldn't be too much trouble for Jaden". Hassleberry looked at him, "Of course it won't, the Sarge will win this quickly and then we will be free from this place". Both of them then looked at Jaden, hoping that he and Aster really would win quickly.
Jaden then placed Elemental Dragon Fusion in to his Duel Disk, "And now I activate Elemental Dragon Fusion, which means I can now fuse together Archangel on my field together with Oblivion in my hand".
An explosion happened and then Archangel and Oblivion got sucked into the vortex that appeared, "And now dragon warriors of light and darkness, combine to form a creature that will bring down my foe, come forth Elemental Dragon Hero Yin-Yang".
Out of the vortex came Yin-Yang who lifted both his swords and roared, Atk: 1000. Jaden then looked at Sarina, "And now Yin-Yang's special ability activates, as long as he's on the field, he will gain 200 attack points times the total level of all Elemental Dragon Heroes on the field, and Yin-Yang is a level 8 monster". Yin-Yang roared as he got covered by a golden aura, Atk: 1000-2600.
Jaden then looked at his hand before he looked at Mirror Sarina, "And with that, I end my turn now".
Mirror Sarina then placed her fingers on her deck, "Then it's my turn now". She drew her card and looked at it, "I summon Silver Spirit – Sakyo in attack mode". A monster that looked almost identical to Ukyo appeared on the field, Atk: 600. Mirror Sarina then grabbed a card in her hand, "And next I end my turn with a face down card".
Aster narrowed his eyes as the face down appeared in front of Mirror Sarina, "What, that's all? Whatever". He then drew his next card and looked at it, "I'll start, by summoning my Captain Tenacious in attack mode". Captain Tenacious appeared on the field, Atk: 800. Aster then placed a card into his Duel Disk and it appeared in front of him, "Now I play a face down, and now I end my turn".
The original Sarina then placed her fingers, "Then it's my turn again". She drew her card and chuckled while looking at it, "I now activate my Mirror Route spell card by targeting my Ukyo".
Ukyo then got covered by a white aura while a mirror appeared behind him on each side, Sarina chuckled, "You see boys, thanks to this card my Ukyo can now attack one of you directly this turn".
Jaden and Aster looked at her shocked and said simultaneously, "What did you say?" Sarina then pointed at Jaden, "And now Ukyo attack Jaden directly, Quick Silver". Ukyo fired a blast towards Jaden and it hit him while he screamed, Jaden & Aster LP: 8000-7200.
Jaden gritted his teeth while Sarina chuckled, "I end my turn now, so you plan on counterattacking now?" Jaden narrowed his eyes, "You bet I do, it's my move". He then drew his next card and looked at it before he placed it into his hand.
Jaden then pointed at Ukyo, "And now it's time for some payback, Yin-Yang destroy her Silver Spirit Ukyo now". Yin-Yang roared and flew towards Ukyo while preparing his swords to strike him down.
Sarina looked at Jaden, "Not so fast, I activate Mirror Bind". After Sarina's trap card got flipped up, Yin-Yang stopped as four mirrors began to rotate in a circle around him and images of Ukyo and Sakyo could be seen in them.
Sarina chuckled, "You see Jaden, when we have both Silver Spirit Ukyo and Silver Spirit Sakyo on the field, when you declare an attack, I can use this trap card to destroy every monster on both of your fields whose original attack points are equal to or lower than the attack points of the attacking monster".
Jaden's eyes widened, "Say what?" The image on two of the mirrors changed in to Yin-Yang and they jumped up and sent slashes of light and darkness from their swords that hit both Yin-Yang and Captain Tenacious and destroyed them both.
What neither Jaden nor Aster noticed however was that two of what looked like closed eyes opened but it turned out that it was mirrors, and a small piece of the moon had been covered by an eclipse.
Jaden held out his hand, "Yin-Yang's other special ability activates, so now that Yin-Yang have been sent to the graveyard, I can special summon one of his fusion materials from my graveyard back to the field, so return to me Oblivion".
Darkness then gathered above Jaden and Oblivion appeared out of it while he roared and lifted his jagged blade, Atk: 2000. Then a card came out of Jaden's graveyard, "And now thanks to his ability, whenever I summon him, I can return one Elemental Dragon Fusion in my graveyard back to my hand". He picked it up and added it to his hand.
Aster looked at him, That was not a bad move, but don't think for a second that you will outshine me, he thought to himself. Aster held out his hand, "Go Destiny Mirage, so now since my Destiny Hero was destroyed due to an effect I can bring him back, so come back Captain Tenacious". Captain Tenacious then reappeared on the field, Atk: 800.
Sarina and her mirror clone narrowed their eyes, both Jaden and Aster had managed to keep a monster on the field, even though Jaden had re summoned one of his fusion monster's fusion materials, showing that their strength was nearly identical, which meant that she needed to press them harder to test them.
Aster looked at Jaden, "Hey Jaden, next time, think before you act okay? I nearly lost one of my best cards". Jaden looked at him, "I was thinking, since I had Yin-Yang's second ability I would be able to summon Oblivion to the field if they had a card that would destroy him, I didn't expect a card that would destroy all of our monsters, but it turned out okay".
Jaden looked at Sarina again, "However, now she doesn't have any face down cards left, so let's see her escape this time". Jaden pointed towards Ukyo, "Now Oblivion, attack Ukyo with Darkness Slash". Oblivion roared and flew towards Ukyo while he lifted his sword that got surrounded by a dark aura.
Mirror Sarina however held out her hand, "Stop right there Jaden, I play the trap card Mirror Trap, so now I take the trap card the real Sarina used, and send it over to me". Mirror Bind then flew out of Sarina's graveyard and into Mirror Sarina's hand, she had a smirk on her face, "And the best part is that I can use it right away, so say hello once again to Mirror Bind".
Mirrors began to rotate around Oblivion and two mirror reflections of him flew up in the air and sent slashes of darkness towards Oblivion and Captain Tenacious and both of them got destroyed, while two other closed mirrors opened and another piece of the moon got covered by the eclipse.
Aster looked at Jaden, "Hey Jaden, can you please be more careful?" Jaden narrowed his eyes while he looked at Sarina, he then looked at his hand and grabbed a card in it, "I place one card face down and end my turn".
Mirror Sarina then placed her fingers on her deck, "Then it's my turn now". She drew her card and looked at it, "And now Silver Spirit Sakyo, attack Aster Phoenix directly". Aster gritted his teeth as Sakyo came towards him and then it hit him, Jaden & Aster LP: 7200-6600.
Mirror Sarina then revealed a spell card in her hand, "And now I play this, the spell card Mirror Call, since we have both Sakyo and Ukyo on the field, I can now return a trap card from my graveyard back to my hand". A card came out of her graveyard and she grabbed it, "And lastly I place two cards face down and end my turn".
Jaden narrowed his eyes as he saw the two face downs appear on the field, "Great, two face downs once again, and one of them are without a doubt Mirror Bind". Aster looked at him, "Well obviously since it is the perfect card to use together with Sakyo and Ukyo, so we really should try and get rid of her two Silver Spirits so she can't use it".
Jaden nodded, "Yeah I agree, let's hope you draw something good on your next turn, then we might have a chance to do that". Aster just turned towards Mirror Sarina, "You'll just watch Jaden, it's my move now".
Aster drew his next card and looked at it, "I'll start by activating Pot of Greed, so now I draw two more cards from my deck".
Aster drew two more cards and looked at them, "I'll start with Destiny Hero Doom Lord". Doom Lord then appeared on the field, Atk: 600. Aster then looked at Sarina, "And thanks to his special ability, by giving up his attack this turn, Doom Lord can send one of your monsters two turns into the future, so say good bye to your Sakyo for now, because he's about to take a trip through time".
Mirror Sarina chuckled, "I disagree, in fact, it's your monster that will be leaving". Aster looked at her, what do you mean?"
Mirror Sarina pressed a button on her Duel Disk, "I activate Silver Spirit Redirection, now when you target one of my monsters with the special ability of one of your monsters, the special ability is negated and the monster is removed from the game". Aster gritted his teeth as Doom Lord disappeared and he placed his card in to his back pocket.
Jaden looked troubled, "Well that didn't work so well, so please tell me that you have another plan Aster", Aster grabbed a card in his hand, "How about this? I activate D-Spirit spell card, when I don't have any Destiny Heroes on my field, I can special summon a level 4 or below Destiny Hero from my hand".
Aster grabbed a card in his hand, "And now I summon Destiny Hero Dunker in attack mode". Dunker appeared on the field, Atk: 1200, "And now since it's my battle phase now, I can send Destiny Hero Blade Master from my hand to the graveyard to add 800 attack points to all Destiny Heroes on the field until the end of this turn".
He sent Blade Master to the graveyard and Dunker got covered in an aura, Atk: 1200-2000. Aster also looked at Mirror Sarina, "Also, by sending a Destiny Hero from my hand to the graveyard I have activated Dunker's special ability, so now you will take 500 points of damage". Sarina and Mirror Sarina gritted their teeth, Sarina & Mirror Sarina LP: 8000-7500.
Aster then pointed towards Silver Spirit Sakyo, "And now Dunker, destroy her Silver Spirit Sakyo". Dunker jumped towards Sakyo and delivered a powerful punch to it, destroying it, Sarina and Mirror Sarina LP: 7500-6100. Another mirror opened up and half of the moon was now covered by the eclipse.
Aster then grabbed another card in his hand, "And now, I end my turn with one face down, which means that Blade Master's special ability ends now". Dunker Atk: 2000-1200.
Hassleberry looked impressed, "That was a good move, now they have taken a slight lead". Syrus nodded, "Yeah, and just wait until Jaden really gets his game on, then the rest of those points will be gone in no time".
Sarina and her mirror clone recovered from the damage and looked at Aster, impressed with his move, but still wondering if his destiny was to help Sartorius or the opposite, this duel would decide that.
Sarina placed her fingers on her deck, "It's my turn, I draw". She looked at the card she had drawn, "And with Pot of Greed I'll draw two more cards".
She then drew two more cards and looked at them, "Next I now sacrifice my Silver Spirit Ukyo, so I can summon a new spirit, my Magic Mirror Spirit Nayuta". A masked woman in a shrine maiden outfit appeared on the field, Atk: 2600.
Mirror Sarina looked at Sarina and nodded, Alright, it's time to put Jaden to the test and see how strong he really is, Sarina thought. Sarina then pointed towards Jaden, "And now Magic Mirror Spirit Nayuta, attack Jaden directly".
Jaden however pressed a button on his Duel Disk, "Not so fast, I activate Call of the Haunted, so now I can bring back a monster, and I choose Yin-Yang". Yin-Yang then reappeared on the field and roared as he got covered in a golden aura, Atk: 1000-2600.
Sarina narrowed her eyes, she hadn't expected Yin-Yang's return, if he was destroyed Jaden could once again summon one of his fusion materials from the graveyard, and if she didn't attack he could grow too powerful to handle since he would gain 200 points multiplied by the total level of all Elemental Dragon Heroes on the field. So far it was only Yin-Yang on the field, but if Jaden summoned more of them it could become a real problem.
Sarina looked at her cards, she then nodded before she looked at Yin-Yang, "Alright Nayuta, destroy his Yin-Yang right now". Nayuta sent slashed of fire from her hands towards Yin-Yang who sent slashed of light and darkness towards her, and both of them got destroyed.
A card came out of Jaden's graveyard, "And since Yin-Yang was destroyed, I can once again summon Oblivion to my field". Oblivion once again appeared on the field with a mighty roar, Atk: 2000. Two more mirrors opened up and now more than half of the moon was covered by the eclipse.
Sarina then placed a card into her Duel Disk, "Next I place a card face down and end my turn". Jaden narrowed his eyes, both Sarina and her mirror clone had no monsters on the field and only one face down, and one of them was without a doubt Mirror Bind which was useless now, but he didn't know what the other face down was, which made him a little troubled.
Jaden placed his fingers on his deck, "It's my turn now, so here we go". Jaden drew his next card and looked at it. At that moment Sarina pressed a button on her Duel Disk, "And now I activate Call of the Haunted, so now just like you, I can bring back a monster in attack mode, like Silver Spirit Ukyo".
Jaden narrowed his eyes when he saw Ukyo reappear on the field, Atk: 800. Sarina looked at Jaden, "And whenever Ukyo is summoned, if there is a Silver Spirit Sakyo in either of our graveyards, we can bring it back".
Jaden gritted his teeth as he saw Sakyo reappear on a knee with crossed arms, Def: 800. Jaden narrowed his eyes, now that they had both Ukyo and Sakyo back on the field they could once again use Mirror Bind.
Jaden then looked at the card he had drawn again, knowing that this might change that if he got a little lucky, "I now summon Elemental Dragon Hero Quickclaw in attack mode".
A hurricane appeared behind Jaden and out of it flew Quickclaw before he landed on the field, Atk: 1600. Jaden then drew the top four cards of his deck, "And now I get to check the top four cards of my deck, and if I find a level 6 or below monster among them I can summon it, all the others are shuffled back into the deck".
Jaden needed a certain monster to get out of this situation, he just hoped that he would show up. Jaden looked at the four cards he had drawn and a smirk appeared on his face as he grabbed one of them.
"I now summon Elemental Dragon Hero Aqua Blast in attack mode". A water tornado formed behind Jaden and out of it flew Aqua Blast before he landed next to his brothers on Jaden's side of the field, Atk: 1800.
Jaden then pointed at Ukyo, "And now I activate Oblivion's second special ability, once per turn I can target one of your monsters and choose if it will either switch to defense mode or if it will lose 200 attack points for every Elemental Dragon Heroes on my side of the field, and I choose the second option".
Ukyo lowered his head as got covered by a dark aura, Atk: 800-200. Jaden then pointed towards Sakyo, "And now Oblivion, attack Silver Spirit Ukyo with Darkness Slash". Oblivion roared while he lifted his sword while it got covered in a dark aura.
Mirror Sarina held out her hand, "Seems like you have forgotten about my face down, and I'm sure you can guess which one it is, I now activate Mirror Bind". However when the card was about to flipped face up, Aqua Blast unleashed shockwaves from his mouth that flew across the field and hit Mirror Bind and stopped it from activating.
Jaden had a smirk on his face while Sarina and Mirror Sarina looked at Aqua Blast shocked, he didn't really notice that Aster also looked at him shocked, "You see, as long as Aqua Blast is on the field, you two can't activate trap cards during the battle phase".
Sarina looked at him shocked, "It can't be!" Aster looked at Jaden out of the corner of his eye with a smirk, "Hey, you actually made a good move for a change". Jaden then held out his hand toward Ukyo, "Now like I said Oblivion, destroy her Ukyo". Oblivion sent a slash of darkness towards Ukyo and destroyed him, Sarina & Mirror Sarina LP: 6100-4300.
Another mirror opened up and now most of the moon was covered by the eclipse. Jaden then pointed towards Sakyo, "And now Quickclaw, attack Sakyo with Shadow Slash".
Quickclaw grabbed his sword and vanished in high speed and then reappeared behind Sakyo with his sword drawn, he held it up and Sakyo turned his head around in time to see Quickclaw for a second before he slashed him with his sword, which destroyed him as well, while another mirror opened up and there was now only an crest moon left.
Jaden then pointed at Sarina, "And now Aqua Blast, attack Sarina's life points directly with Hydro Blast". Aqua Blast gathered water in his mouth and then fired his attack towards Sarina who got hit by the blast of water, Sarina & Mirror Sarina LP: 4300-2500.
Jaden held out his hand, "And now that ends my turn". He had a smile on his face, as he had just reduced the opponents remaining life points with more than half. He then got a serious look on his face, he knew that he couldn't relax just yet, he still had to be on his guard.
Syrus and Hassleberry celebrated however, "Alright, now those creepy twins are down to less than 3000 points while Jay and Aster has over 6000 left". Hassleberry nodded, "That's right, and if they keep this up, this war will really be over soon".
Sarina and Mirror Sarina looked slightly at each other, "That was a really impressive move as well, Jaden's power seems to have developed even stronger than our brother feared, but even so, we still need to push him even more to see how strong they truly are". They mentally talked to each other and nodded.
Mirror Sarina then grabbed and drew her next card and looked at it, "I will now end my turn with two face down cards". Aster looked at her with a disappointed look on his face, "That's it? Whatever, it's my move then".
Aster then drew his next card and looked at it, "And next I sacrifice my Dunker, so I can summon Destiny Hero Double Dude". Dunker disappeared and a man dressed in a black suit, he had a black hat, a scarf covering his mouth and a cane in his hand, Atk: 1000.
Aster looked at Sarina, "And thanks to his special ability, he can attack twice during each battle phase". Mirror Sarina gritted her teeth and then held out her hand, "Not so fast Aster, now by sacrificing my face down Mirror Bind, I can activate Soul Mirror". Mirror Bind got sent to the graveyard and a card with a picture of a mirror with eyes and a mouth that had a red aura around it.
Mirror Sarina looked at Aster, "Here is how it works, by sacrificing a card I control, I can bring back a monster in my graveyard, like Silver Spirit Sakyo". Sakyo then appeared on a knee with his arms crossed, Def: 800.
Mirror Sarina then looked at the original Sarina with a smirk, "And that, of course means that Ukyo returns to the field as well". Then Ukyo then appeared on the field as well on a knee with his arms on the original Sarina's field, Def: 600.
Jaden gritted his teeth, "Come on, those two are back again?" He then got a smirk on his face, "Even so she was clever to activate it before Aster could start his battle phase, since they can't activate traps during the battle phase thanks to Aqua Blast".
Aster narrowed his eyes, "It doesn't matter anyway, because now I activate my D – Chain trap card which increases Double Dude's attack points by 500 points". Chains then appeared and wrapped was wrapped around Double Dude lightly so he could use them as a weapon. Atk: 1000-1500.
Aster then pointed towards Sakyo, "And now Double Dude, destroy her with Chain of Repent". Double Dude began to spin the chain before he tossed it towards Sakyo and it hit him and he got destroyed.
Aster then held out his hand, "And thanks to my D – Chain, whenever the monster equipped with it destroys a monster in battle, you'll lose 500 points". Mirror Sarina gritted her teeth as she felt a light shock, Sarina & Mirror Sarina LP: 2500-2000. Then the last mirror opened up and the moon was completely covered by the eclipse.
Aster then turned towards Ukyo, "And like I said before he can attack twice, so now attack her Ukyo with Chain of Repent". Double Dude's form then changed to a monstrous form that looked similar to Mr Hyde. The monstrous Double Dude then threw the chain towards Ukyo and destroyed him as well.
Aster then pointed at Sarina, "And like before, you now lose another 500 points thanks to D – Chain". Sarina then gritted her teeth as she felt a light shock as well, LP: 2000-1500.
Jaden looked at Aster with a smirk, "Alright, nice going partner, I know we would make a good team". Aster glared at him, "Look, we're not a team okay?" Mirror Sarina looked at Aster, "Tell me Aster, since you have attack as much as you can, your battle phase is over right?"
Aster looked at her, "Yeah so what?" Mirror Sarina then held out her hand, "Then that means that since it's no longer the battle phase I can activate this, my Buried Soul Talisman, and with it, since two of my monsters were destroyed, the monsters responsible for their destruction is also destroyed, in this case, your Double Dude".
Aster gritted his teeth as Double Dude got destroyed, he then placed both him and D – Chain into the graveyard. Mirror Sarina then grabbed a card in her hand, "And then, I get to summon a level 5 or higher monster from my hand, like Magic Mirror Spirit Asogi".
A large man dressed in a brown shirt and black pants with a long white scarf and boots with claws on them appeared on a knee with crossed arms, Def: 2500. Sarina then chuckled, "And to make things worse for you, when this monster is successfully summoned, I can bring back Magic Mirror Spirit Nayuta", Nayuta then appeared on the field again, Atk: 2600.
Hassleberry looked troubled, "Oh come on, not her again". Syrus also looked troubled, "And just when they had no monsters on the field, now they have both a tough attack position monster and a tough defense position monster".
Jaden knew that Syrus and Hassleberry was right, but if he managed to keep Oblivion on the field until his next turn, he could use his second ability to switch Nayuta to defense mode and maybe take her out and wipe out the rest of their life points.
He then suddenly saw how Aster looked up shocked and confused, he then grabbed a card in his hand, "I guess I end my turn with one face down". Jaden looked at Aster, "What's wrong Aster? You look troubled".
Aster looked up again, "Just look for yourself Jaden, the moon is gone". Jaden looked up and saw that it had been covered by the eclipse, "Hey you're right, wonder why?"
Aster then looked down and his eyes widened, "Hey, look down at our feet". Jaden looked down and his eyes widened as well as a dark mist surrounded their feet, Jaden looked up and saw that the mist was coming from the object with all the mirrors that had opened up.
Jaden looked at Sarina and her mirror clone, "What is going on here exactly?" Mirror Sarina chuckled, "Well you see, every time a monster on either side of the field got destroyed, our Full Moon Mirror have gained a Full Moon Counter". Sarina then got a smirk on her face, "And since at least ten monsters have been destroyed, it has now gained the total amount of ten Full Moon Counters, and with that, we can now finally crush both of you here and now".
Jaden looked at them while narrowing his eyes, "And how exactly are you planning on defeating us?"
Sarina's smirk grew bigger, "How about I show you? It's my move". She drew her next card and looked at it, "And next I sacrifice both Nayuta and Asogi, in order to summon, The Dark Creator". Asogi and Nayuta turned into beams of light and collided, and then a large black monster appeared before its large eye opened up, Atk: 3000.
Jaden gritted his teeth, "3000 attack points? This can get tricky Aster". Aster narrowed his eyes, "For you maybe, but for me, I will take that thing down before Sarina even knows what has happen".
Sarina chuckled while she grabbed a card in her hand, "We'll see about that Aster, now I sacrifice my Full Moon Mirror, so I can activate the field spell card Infinite Fiend Mirror".
Jaden and Aster covered their eyes as a purple light appeared when Full Moon Mirror shattered. When they opened their eyes, they were at the white center in a dark area. Then beings in dark cloaks on vines appeared all around them while each one of them held a mirror in their hands
Sarina chuckled, "And now to the fun part, you see when The Dark Creator is on the field, this field spell allows us to summon a Dark Creator Token on every open monster card zone we have, and each token has the exact same strength as the original one".
Then miniature versions of The Dark Creator appeared on Sarina's and her mirror clone's field, Atk x 9: 3000. Jaden gritted his teeth, One monster with 3000 attack points are bad enough, and now we have ten to deal with? He thought to himself troubled.
Aster narrowed his eyes, he knew that Jaden's monsters would most likely get destroyed, but in case Sarina decided to just attack him instead, he would activate his face down D – Fortune, if they got attacked directly, he could remove one Destiny Hero from his graveyard in order to end the battle phase.
Sarina then pointed towards Jaden's three Dragon Heroes, "And now The Dark Creator and two of my Dark Creator Tokens, get rid of his Elemental Dragon Heroes". The Dark Creator and two of the tokens fired a blast from their eyes that hit Jaden's three Elemental Dragon Heroes and smoke appeared.
But once the smoke cleared Quickclaw was still on the field on a knee with his arms crossed, Def: 1400. Jaden & Aster LP: 6600-4400. Jaden looked at Sarina, "Once per turn when Quickclaw gets attacked, he switches to defense mode and survives the attack".
Sarina still had a smirk on her face, "I'm well aware of that, but did you know that every time The Dark Creator destroys a monster in battle, you two loses 700 life points". Jaden's and Aster's eyes widened before they covered their faces as electricity surrounded them, Jaden & Aster LP: 4400-3000.
Sarina then looked towards Quickclaw, "And like you said yourself, your Quickclaw can only save himself from destruction once per turn, which means that now he's defenseless". Jaden gritted his teeth as he saw another Dark Creator Token fire a blast from its eye and it hit and destroyed Quickclaw.
Sarina looked at Jaden, "And even though you don't take any battle damage since he was in defense mode, you still lose 700 life points due to its effect". Jaden and Aster gritted their teeth as electricity went through them once again, Jaden & Aster LP: 3000-2300.
Aster looked at Sarina, he was prepared to activate his D – Fortune trap card as soon as she attacked them again. However to both of their shocked she grabbed a card in her hand, "I place a card face down and end my turn".
Syrus and Hassleberry looked at Sarina shocked and confused, Hassleberry then looked at Syrus, "What is going on here Private?" Syrus turned towards him, "I have no idea, she could've won the duel if she had just attacked them one more time".
Jaden narrowed his eyes, "Alright then, it's my move now". He then drew his next card and looked at it, "I activate Pot of Greed, so now I draw two more cards from my deck".
Jaden drew two more cards and looked at them, he narrowed his eyes since one of them were Gandora the Dragon of Destruction, it could end this right now. But the problem was that he needed to sacrifice two monsters to summon him and he didn't have any right now. And while he could summon him easily by using Dragon Caller, he didn't have it, he looked at the other card he had drawn, it was Terradrake, right now he wouldn't be much help for him, and right now it was too risky to use Elemental Dragon Hero Fusion and sacrifice 500 life points to fuse him together with Quickclaw in order to summon Terrastorm Drake since he didn't know if The Dark Creator had another ability that he hadn't shown yet.
Aster looked at Jaden, "Jaden, before you do anything, calm down and think things through, I mean, she could have attacked us again in order to win, even though I would have saved us with my face down, but forget about that right now, the point is that she didn't, and you do understand why right?"
Jaden looked at him, "The only reason I can think of, is that her monsters can't attack us directly Aster". Aster nodded, "Correct".
Jaden looked at Aster, "You know Aster, this is what we need more of". Aster looked at him with a smirk, "Me telling you what to do?" Jaden sighed, "No, I mean teamwork, if we can work together and combine our decks powers then we can take them down". Aster looked forward while looking like he had no interest in working together with Jaden.
Jaden looked at Sarina while he placed a card into his Duel Disk, "Anyway, I now end my turn with a face down".
Sarina looked at them with a smirk, "It looks like you two have discovered my secret, our monsters can only attack opposing monsters, not the opponents directly, and even though you don't have any, I can change it right now".
Jaden looked at her, "Oh yeah, and how exactly do you plan on doing that?" Sarina held out her hand, "Like this, I play the continuous trap card Return Talisman, so now, at the end of your turn, if you didn't summon any monsters to your field, my trap card special summons a Return Token to your side of the field in defense mode".
Jaden watched while what looked like a paper doll appeared on his field before it went down on a knee and crossed its arms, Def: 1000, Jaden narrowed his eyes, "Well that's not good".
Sarina chuckled before she looked at Mirror Sarina who nodded her head before looking at Jaden and Aster, "Alright, my move", Mirror Sarina then drew her next card and then pointed towards the Return Token, "And now Dark Creator, attack with Absolute Darkness.
The Dark Creator then fired a blast from his eye that hit the Return Token and destroyed it, Mirror Sarina held out her hand, "Now that's true teamwork boys, and now you'll lose 700 more life points". Aster and Jaden groaned as electricity went through them again, Jaden & Aster LP: 2300-1600.
Aster gritted his teeth, "We don't have much time left, if we don't counterattack quickly they will soon finish us off, so we have to get rid of all of their monsters, and since all these tokens appeared on the field because The Dark Creator is, I bet they will be destroyed if he is, so our main focus should be taking him out".
Jaden nodded, "Yeah I agree, but how are we gonna do that?" Aster looked at him, "Well Jaden, just leave it to the pro, that thing will be a goner soon enough".
Aster then placed his fingers on his deck, "Alright, my move", he then drew his next card before he held out his hand, "And now, since my Double Dude was destroyed last turn, I can summon two Double Dude Tokens in its place".
Jaden watched as two tokens that looked like the normal form of Double Dude appeared on the field on a knee with crossed arms, Def x 2: 1000. He looked at Aster, "Okay uh, how is summoning those tokens gonna help us? After all if they are destroyed by their Dark Creators then we will lose 1400 life points".
Aster looked at the card he had drawn and a smile appeared on his face, "Well Jaden, like I said, as a pro I'm superior to you and so I have strategies that are far superior to anything you can come up with".
Sarina chuckled, "Aster, you sound pretty confident, but one thing is certain, our brother's main focus has been eliminating Jaden, and you have always been meant to be a servant to our brother in order to fulfill his destiny".
Aster gritted his teeth, That can't be true, Sartorius has been my friend since right after my father's funeral, I refuse to believe he has just been tricking me this whole time, now hands of fate, help me prove her wrong, he though before he looked at the card he had drawn.
A smirk appeared on his face when he saw which card he had drawn, "And now I sacrifice one of my Double Dudes in order to summon Destiny Hero Dasher". One of the Double Dude tokens disappeared and got replaced by Dasher, Atk: 2100.
Aster then pointed towards his second Double Dude, "And next by sacrificing my second Double Dude, my Dasher's special ability activates and he gains 1000 attack points". Dasher then got covered in a red aura, Atk: 2100-3100.
Jaden now had a smirk on his face, "Alright, Dasher is now strong enough to take out that Dark Creator". Aster looked at him, "Exactly, I told you to just watch and see how the pro does things".
Aster then pointed towards The Dark Creator, "And now Dasher, attack The Dark Creator with Pyro Electric Shock". Dasher then quickly made his way towards The Dark Creator and then jumped up before hitting him with a powerful kick which caused an explosion, Sarina & Mirror Sarina LP: 1500-1400.
Aster then held out his hand, "Of course, after Dasher attacks, he switches to defense mode". Dasher then went down on a knee and crossed his arms, Def: 1000.
However Jaden then noticed that Sarina and her mirror clone still had smirks on their faces, Jaden and Aster then looked shocked once the smoke cleared since the Dark Creator was still standing there.
Jaden looked at Sarina, "What's going on here? Why is The Dark Creator still on the field?" Sarina chuckled, "Well it's very simple really, it can't be destroyed in battle".
Jaden's eyes widened, "Wait what? He can't be destroyed in battle?" Aster narrowed his eyes, "Uh yeah Jaden, she kinda just said that a moment ago". He then closed his eyes, "I end my turn now".
Mirror Sarina then placed her fingers on her deck as she chuckled, "Then it's my move now". She drew her card and then pointed towards Dasher, "Now Dark Creator, destroy Destiny Hero Dasher with Absolute Darkness".
The Dark Creator then unleashed a blast from his eye and it hit Dasher and destroyed him, Mirror Sarina then held out her hand, "And now his special ability activates, and you guys take 700 points of damage". Jaden and Aster screamed as electricity went through them once again, Jaden & Aster LP: 1600-1900.
Aster looked up troubled, "Dude, we have only 900 life points left, and no monsters, and the Sarina sisters have ten monsters, no wait, make that ten INVINCIBLE monsters, and even if we summon a monster, once they're destroyed we'll lose 700 life points, I hate to say it but we're as good as gone now".
Jaden looked at him, "No we're not, we just have to have faith in our decks Aster and they will answer us".
Aster looked at Jaden, he wondered if he should applaud him for his courage or laugh at him for being so naïve. But then he remembered about Jaden's ability to communicate with duel spirits.
Aster looked at him, "You mean to tell me that there might be a chance for us to turn this around?" Jaden nodded, "Absolutely, remember what I told you about teamwork? Well right now we need to work as a team as well in order to win this".
Aster looked forward, he didn't like to admit that he needed Jaden's help right here, but he knew that he did need to work together with Jaden if they were to get out of this situation in one piece.
Mirror Sarina looked at Jaden and chuckled, "Oh really Jaden, well if you think you can turn things around now, then go ahead and prove it, show me how powerful you really are".
Jaden placed his fingers on his deck, "Oh I will". Jaden looked at his deck, right now, he had only two good options in order to win, to summon Burstwing and then summon Terradrake as well or just fusion summon Aquaburst, the only problem was that he didn't have Burstwing in his hand, which meant that he needed to draw him right now if he was gonna do either of those two plans.
Jaden then heard a squeaking next to him, he looked there and saw Winged Kuriboh there, "Winged Kuriboh! you're here?" Jaden then felt another familiar presence to his other side, he looked in that direction and saw Yubel there with her arms crossed.
Yubel looked at Jaden, "Of course we're here Jaden, while it took some time to connect with your consciousness since it was currently trapped inside of an virtual reality, but we managed to reach you".
Jaden then looked at Winged Kuriboh while he squeaked and pointed towards Aster. Jaden looked at Aster and saw Dasher's spirit next to him, "Use Dasher?" Yubel looked at Dasher, "One time during a duel, when Dasher is in the graveyard you can special summon a monster if you drew it during your draw phase".
Jaden looked at his deck, he could special summon a monster if he drew it during his draw phase, that was an ability similar to Elemental Hero Necroshade, which was quite useful. Jaden then took and drew his next card and looked at it.
Sarina and her mirror clone looked at Jaden a little shocked as did Aster when Jaden got a smirk on his face, he then pointed his hand towards Aster, "And now I use Destiny Hero Dasher's ability from the graveyard, so now I can special summon the monster I just drew".
Aster got a smirk on his face when Jaden said that, "Nice move Jaden". Jaden held up the card, "And the one I'm summoning is Elemental Dragon Hero Burstwing in attack mode".
An explosion formed behind Jaden and Burstwing flew out of it and landed on the field with crossed arms, Atk: 1700. Jaden then grabbed another card in his hand, "And next I summon Elemental Dragon Hero Terradrake in attack mode as well". The ground cracked open and Terradrake came up before he pulled up his sword out of the ground as well, Atk: 2000.
Sarina looked at Jaden, "That doesn't matter Jaden Yuki, even if you managed to summon those two, after all even with Burstwing's ability, by discarding one spell card he can increase his attack points by 300 for every two levels of the chosen opposing monster while that monster also loses 800 points and these changes lasts until that opponent's next end phase".
Jaden looked at her. "You only know about that ability because you watched my duel with T-Bone". Sarina had a smirk on her face, "That still doesn't matter, and you wanna know why? Because The Dark Creator's attack points will only be reduced to 2200 while Burstwing's attack points will be increased to 3200 because The Dark Creator is a level 10 monster, we will only lose 1000 life points and Terradrake will be too weak to attack him as well, and then one of our tokens can take him out or we could just attack with our weakened Dark Creator since he's still strong enough to take out Terradrake and then his ability will end this".
Jaden chuckled, "Well normally you would be right, but you forgot one thing, Terradrake have a special ability too. You see if I choose not to attack you with him this turn, he can deal you 300 points of damage for every Elemental Dragon Hero that's on the field".
Sarina and her mirror clone looked at him shocked and worried, "Deal 300 points of damage for every Elemental Dragon Hero on the field? But that would mean…"
Jaden nodded with a smirk still on his face, "That's right, it would be 600 points of damage, which means that the damage that you would take this turn would be 1600 points, and you guys have only 1400 left".
Aster looked at Jaden, "You said would? Why won't they take the damage?" Jaden looked at Aster with a smirk, "Because I have a more fun idea in mind for them, also please forgive me for this Aster".
Aster looked at Jaden confused as he pressed a button on his Duel Disk, "I now activate my face down Elemental Dragon Fusion, so now by paying 500 life points I can fuse Burstwing on my field with Aqua Blast in my graveyard simply by sending Burstwing there". Jaden & Aster LP: 900-400.
An explosion of fire happened on the field and then a vortex appeared. Burstwing stood at one side of it while Aqua Blast appeared on the other side before both of them got sucked into the vortex.
Jaden held up his hand, "And now dragon warriors of fire and water, combine to form the creature that will help me end this duel right now, come forth now Elemental Dragon Hero Aquaburst". Aquaburst came out of the vortex and landed on the field, Atk: 2800.
Jaden looked at Sarina and her mirror clone, "And as I'm sure that you know Aquaburst's special ability increases the attack points of all the Elemental Dragon Heroes on my field by 300 for every Elemental Dragon Heroes in my graveyard, and I currently have six there".
Sarina and her mirror clone looked worried as Aquaburst's attack points increased, Atk: 2800-4600. And then they looked at Terradrake when his attack points increased as well, Atk: 2000-3600.
Sarina took a step backwards when she saw their points, "Now they have 4600 and 3600 attack points?"
Jaden nodded, "That's right, and that means that this duel is over, now…" Jaden then pointed at The Dark Creator, "Since I don't want to leave someone out, I will attack with Terradrake first, now attack their Dark Creator".
Terradrake lifted his sword and rushed towards The Dark Creator and slashed him with his sword and while he wasn't destroyed, Sarina and her mirror clone still took damage, Sarina & Mirror Sarina LP: 1400-800. Jaden then looked at them, "And now you two only have 800 life points, and the difference between Aquaburst and The Dark Creator is now 1600 points".
He then pointed at The Dark Creator again, "And that means that this duel is now over, now Aquaburst, attack their Dark Creator with Scorching Water Burst". Aquaburst roared as he began to form an orb of water in his hands.
Fire then came out of Aquaburst's burning wings and entered the water orb, heating it up until the water was boiling hot, he then took and unleashed a stream of water of boiling water towards The Dark Creator. The attack then hit The Dark Creator and it roared, and while it wasn't destroyed once again, Sarina and her mirror clone took damage from the attack once again, Sarina & Mirror Sarina LP: 800-0.
Sarina groaned while she and her mirror clone merged together once again before she sank down on her knees while Jaden's and Aster's Duel Disks disappeared. Jaden then looked towards Syrus and Hassleberry and saw how they turned back to normal, and they got so happy about it that they hugged each other while laughing before they noticed what they were doing and quickly separated from each other, causing Jaden to laugh a little.
During this time Aster looked at Jaden, What Jaden just did, it was a really amazing thing, even I would never be able to turn things around in a situation like that, but he still managed to do it, showing me his power and his trust in his deck and the spirits in it, Aster thought before he closed his eyes for a second.
Aster walked over to Jaden, "Nice work Jaden, we only won thanks to your Dragon Heroes". Jaden looked at him with a smirk, "That's not true at all Aster, It would've been really difficult without the help of your Destiny Heroes, the combination of our strength was what won this battle".
Then both of then heard Sarina speak, "You're correct Jaden". Both of them looked at them and saw how she looked at them with what looked like a pleading look on her face, "You're both really powerful duelists which is why I put you through all of this, to test you and see if you could help me, I ask both of you, please save my brother from himself".
Jaden nodded slightly while Aster looked at her confused, "Save him from himself? What do you mean Sarina?"
Sarina looked down, "I'm pretty sure that at least Jaden knows this, but what Sartorius has done for a while now is not his fault, his mind has been taken over by an evil force, sure he was never a perfect person, but the real him would never do what he's currently doing".
Aster looked shocked and then looked at Jaden who nodded his head, "Yeah, I know that he's possessed by and evil power".
Jaden then looked at Aster, "I guess I should tell you what I know right now". Aster nodded and Jaden sighed, "This story began already at the dawn of time, since the very beginning of time there has been two opposite forces that has been fighting each other, one of them is called the Light of Destruction and the other one is called the Gentle Darkness".
Aster's eyes widened, "The Light of Destruction? Wait a minute, then does that mean that the members of the Society of Light…?"
Jaden nodded, "That's right, you're friend Sartorius is possessed by the Light of Destruction, so the members of the Society is followers of the Light of Destruction. And the reason that Sartorius is so obsessed with getting rid of me, is because I wield the power of the Gentle Darkness, which is the only thing that can defeat the power of the Light of Destruction inside of Sartorius".
Aster narrowed his eyes, "That explains a lot, like why he has been so obsessed with you and why he insisted so much that I would defeat you, I was told by Chazz that Sartorius had infused my deck with some of his power, so it meant that he infused it with the Light's power then?"
Jaden nodded, "He did that in order to try to make me join him, and if that fail, it would sever my connections to duel spirits which it did, heck I couldn't even see my own cards".
Aster looked at Jaden shocked before Jaden continued, "But thanks to meeting my Neo Spacians, I managed to force the power of the Light out of me and I returned to normal and then returned to the island stronger than ever since I now had the Neo Spacians by my side".
Aster looked at him, it was hard to believe this story, but Jaden had told him all of this with a serious look on his face so he guessed that what Jaden had just told him was true.
Jaden then looked at Sarina, "What I wanna know is how the Light possessed him in the first place".
Sarina lowered her head, "Well I'm sure that you know about my brother's power to see the future, so it shouldn't be a surprise that he was a fortuneteller, and a lot of people came to visit him since his predictions always came true".
She then closed her eyes, "But, one day a stranger came for a visit and was told that a very dark future was ahead of him. After he had been told about his future, the stranger offered Sartorius a card as payment and it changed everything".
Jaden raised an eyebrow, "A card you said?" Sarina nodded her eyes and clenched her fists before she continued.
"I could sense a change inside of Sartorius the moment he touched that card, you see while my brother is really a kind and gentle person, he has quite a bit of anger in him, and it's because when we were younger we were outcasts that lived anywhere we could because people looked at us with disgust because of what we could do".
Jaden looked at Sarina with a sad look on his face, he could understand if Sartorius had a lot of anger inside of him if they went through that when they were younger.
Sarina then looked at them, "But that's not important right now, like I said, the moment he touched the card, I sensed a great evil within his body, I tried to get it away from him but failed, and then my precious older brother was gone and was replaced by the monster he is now".
Jaden looked at her, "What kind of card was it?" Sarina looked at it, "It was a Hero monster, in fact it was quite similar to the monsters the two of you are using, it was extremely rare, probably the only one of its kind". That caught Aster's attention.
Jaden narrowed his eyes, "So that card was the original vessel for the Light, and then the Light got transferred over to Sartorius, who is now possessed by it". Sarina nodded with a sad look on her face.
Aster then took a step forward, "What about that card, you said it was a Hero monster right? But what else can you tell us about it, what's the name of the card?"
Sarina shook her head, "I'm sorry but I have told you all that I know, the truth is that the card soon after it arrived, it disappeared". Aster looked frustrated, "It what?"
Jaden looked at Aster, "Aster you don't think… could the card she's talking about be it? The card that was stolen from your dad the night he was murdered?" Aster nodded, "I'm sure of it, it must be it".
Then suddenly everything began to tremble and sparks appeared, Jaden looked around, "What's going on here?" Sarina then looked at them with a look of urgency on her face, "You must leave at once, this place is programmed to self destruct".
She then pointed to her left and they all saw two circles of light that was overlapping with each other, "That will lead you back to the real world, now hurry".
Jaden looked at Syrus and Hassleberry, "You guys go ahead while Aster and I help Sarina to the exit". Syrus and Hassleberry nodded and ran towards the exit and jumped into it and got transported out of the virtual world.
Jaden held out his hand towards Sarina, "Come on, we don't have much time". But Sarina shook her head, "Leave me here, this is how it should be, this is where I belong Jaden".
Jaden shook his head, "No one belongs here so come on". Sarina looked at him, "This was my plan from the beginning Jaden, this program will release me into cyberspace, and from there I shall be able to watch over my brother".
Jaden and Aster gasped and looked at Sarina who lost her solid form in the virtual reality and turned into a digitized form, "That's insane, true you did some bad things but it was only the things a worried little sister did as she was desperately looking for someone who could save her brother".
Sarina got a small smile on her face, "I appreciate the concern Jaden but like I said, this is how it should be. Now you must leave but please promise me, when you two return home please save Sartorius and all of his victims, please". Then Sarina sank into the ground and disappeared.
Jaden looked at Aster who turned around, "There is nothing we can do now, so let's go Jaden". He then ran towards the exit while Jaden looked at the spot Sarina had been standing at, "I promise you Sarina, I will save all the students that have been brainwashed, and then I will free Sartorius from the Light's control".
Jaden then turned around and ran towards the exit there Aster was standing and waiting for him, and then both of them jumped into the exit and got transported out of the virtual world right before it collapsed.
MOMENTS LATER IN THE REAL WORLD,
Jaden woke up and saw that he was inside of a virtual reality pod, it then opened up and he sat up, he saw how three others opened up and saw Syrus, Hassleberry and Aster getting out of them before he got out of his own.
Jaden walked over to them, "Looks like we managed to get out in time guys". Syrus and Hassleberry nodded, Aster then turned towards the exit, "Let's get out of here now". Jaden, Syrus and Hassleberry nodded and then all of them began to walk out of the building.
A FEW MOMENTS LATER,
Solomon, Bastion and Atticus got relieved looks on their faces when they saw Jaden and Aster coming out of the building with Syrus and Hassleberry behind them. Bastion came towards them, "What happened in there?"
Jaden and Aster looked at each other before Jaden looked at him again, "I will tell you guys later". They then heard the door to the opened up behind them and they turned around.
Jaden got a smile on his face when he saw the members of the Light Brigade coming towards them looking a little confused and dizzy, it seems like Sarina had released them now that she was finished testing them.
Jaden looked at his friends, "Now how about we get away from here?" Syrus and Hassleberry quickly nodded and ran away from the building with the others not far behind them.
A LITTLE WHILE LATER WITH SARTORIUS,
Sartorius had just learned that both Aster and Jaden had managed to defeat Sarina, "It looks like both Aster and Jaden will be obstacles for me, but it won't stop me, the destruction of this world is unavoidable and then the earth along with the universe will be reborn, by the power of the glorious Light". Sartorius laughed for himself while a white aura surrounded him.
A WHILE LATER WITH JADEN AND THE OTHERS,
Jaden and the others had told Atticus and Bastion what had happened while Aster had returned to his trailer to think about what he had learned today,
Bastion had a look on his face like he was in deep thoughts, "So Sarina did all of this just to test you and Aster Jaden, in order to see if you could help free Sartorius from the Light's control?"
Jaden nodded, "While it might seem like she went overboard, you can't really blame her now since she was just a little sister that was in desperate need of help".
Atticus nodded, "While I think that what she did was going too far, I can understand her feelings, I mean I 'm willing to do anything I can to free Alexis from the Light's control as well, so I can understand her feelings of desperation".
Bastion looked at Jaden, "So what now Jaden?" Jaden looked at them all with a serious look on his face, "What now? We will keep doing what we have been doing, we will take down the Society of Light, one member at the time if we have to, and then I will face Sartorius in a duel and I will defeat and stop the Light of Destruction".
Atticus nodded, "Yeah that sounds like the best plan for now, and I guess that's what should focus the most at once we return to the academy in a few days". The others nodded and Jaden stood up while he took off one of his deck boxes and held it forward.
"Let's swear it here and now, together we will take down the Society of Light, defeat Sartorius's and stop the Light's plans of destroying all life on the earth and then sent it to the furthest corner of the universe!"
The others nodded with smirks and stood up and held out their deck boxes as well (Bastion held out the deck box that contained his water deck) and all shouted, "We will stop the Light of Destruction".
So Jaden learned that Syrus and Hassleberry was at Kaiba Land, so he used both Flame Wingman and Quickclaw to get himself and Aster there quickly. Once they got there they went into the building with the building with the virtual reality system. But once they got inside they were blinded by a intense light and then woke up to find themselves inside of a virtual reality where they ran into Syrus and Hassleberry who had been turned into a cartoon car and a dinosaur. Sarina then appeared and challenged Jaden and Aster to a tag team duel and split into two in order to make it even. The duel then went back and forth and then it looked bad for Jaden and Aster when Sarina and her mirror clone summoned their best monster, The Dark Creator, and used the field spell Infinite Fiend Mirror to summon a token with the same attack points and special abilities as the original. Finally Jaden managed to end the duel by summoning both Elemental Dragon Hero Aquaburst and Elemental Dragon Hero Terradrake. Sarina then revealed that everything she had done was to test Jaden and Aster and see if they could help her save her brother from the Light of Destruction's control, which they promised to do. What will happen next? Continue reading to find out and please review.
