The Ultimate Duel monsters Tournament Part 2: The Preliminaries intensify and a Hero Lost to the Light.
(Narrator)
The Duels, even if only there had been five duels. For some it was just a tournament. But for others, it was sorrow and pain as one duelist mourns at the loss of his teammate and girlfriend. Now the duels continue. Who will taste victory and who will fall to the light?
(The Announcer)
"Alright Duelists time to wake up and get ready to duel as we will announce the first 2 combatants of day. Now the first duelist will be Number 4. Crow/Goro Akechi of team Persona. And his opponent will be Number 28. Satellites very own Jack Atlas of Team 5DS. This duel will commence in 20 minutes you may prepare now and talk amongst your teams before the duel!" he said.
(Team persona)
"Hey Crow," said Joker. "Do you think you can take this Jack Atlas guy?" he asked.
"I don't know Joker, but i'll use all the power of my Detective deck to win," he said.
" Give it your best shot," said Yosuke or Sage, as his friend Yu Narukami calls him."
"I'll do my best," he said as he went to wait on the dueling platform."
(Back with Team 5Ds)
"So Jack what do you think of your opponent on the Dueling platform?" asked Yusei the captain of the team.
"He doesn't look that tough," Jack had said to Yusei, as he didn't want to waste anymore time and went to the dueling platform as well.
(Announcer)
Now gentlemen are you ready? he asked.
"I am," said Crow.
"I am as well," said Jack.
Ok if you're both ready DUEL!
Goro Akechi/Crow
8000 life points
Vs
Jack Atlas
8000 life points
"I'll start us off," said Crow. He then played his Ace Detective man in attack mode.
His monster had five hundred attack points and two thousand defense points, and a nasty effect that Crow was saving for later.
He then played one card face down and ended his turn.
"It's my turn," said Jack as he drew his card.
"I summon my Red dragon soldier in attack mode, then i play one card face down and end my turn," he said.
Akechi saw that Jack hadn't made a move, even though his monster had eighteen hundred attack points.
"Ok my turn," said Crow as he drew his card and then smiled as he drew a card for a combo he needed.
"I activate my Detection Finder spell card," he said.
With this i can search my opponent's deck for one of their spell or trap cards if he or she has the card in their deck he explained.
"Now mister Atlas do you have a Polymerization card asked?"
"Lucky guess," said Jack as he tossed Crow the spell card.
"I now activate my Polymerization to fuse my Ace detective man and my Ace Detective Prince to fusion summon my Ace Detective King in attack mode."
"My king has three thousand six hundred attack points and three thousand three hundred and fifty defense points," he said to Jack as he moved to attack Jacks monster.
"Now before i attack i activate the effect of my Ace Detective man in the graveyard," he said.
"With his effect," said Crow he can banish one monster on the field and their attack points come out of the owners life points. And his effect activates the moment he leaves the field.
"Oh Damn," said Jack as he braced himself for the damage heading his way.
"Now that you lost your monster Ace Detective King attack Jack Atlas directly," he commanded.
"Not so fast i activate my face down Trap card Red Dragons Demolition," he shouted.
"With this card if i am attacked directly i take half the damage given," he said.
"It doesn't matter you will still receive twenty seven hundred life points of damage," he said angrily.
"I'd rather take twenty seven hundred life points in damage instead of the forty four hundred i would have received," he shot back at Crow.
"I end my turn," he said.
Crow
8000 life points
Vs
Jack Atlas
5300 life points
"Ok my turn i draw," said Jack as he played his Card of Sanctity to allow him and Crow to draw up to six cards.
"Now i activate my quick-play spell card red dragons consonance," he said as he explained the effect.
This card will let me special summon any red dragon monster in my deck at the cost of 2000 life points.
"W-What," said Crow.
"Now comforth Red dragon Archfiend Sigma in attack mode with an attack strength of four thousand five hundred," said Jack.
"Next i activate my Red dragon synchron spell card."
This card will let me special summon a synchro monster from my extra deck and ignore the summoning conditions.
"So i think i'll Synchro summon my Scarlet Red Dragon Archfiend in attack mode and start my attack," said Jack atlas.
"Now Red dragon Sigma attack his Ace Detective king and Scarlet Red dragon archfiend attack him directly," Jack had Shouted!
"Oh this is gonna hurt," said Crow as he watched his monster and his life points being dropped by four thousand four hundred to being just thirty six hundred life points remaining.
(Back with Team Persona)
"Hey Skull/Ryuji do you think Crow can come back from all that asked Sage/Yosuke?"
"He's been in tougher situations then this Sage, i'm positive Crow will win this," said Ryuji as he went to get some food.
"Yu is your friend always so unsure about everything," asked Ren.
"Not always but he just wants to be sure Akechi/Crow can win that's all," he said to Ren/Joker.
(Over at Team Domino)
"So Kaiba do you see a challenge in either of them," asked Marik as he looked around at the Duel, and the other Duelists.
"No i don't think that Akechi guy is a threat but Jack atlas might give me a challenge," said Kaiba.
"Hey leader what do you think," asked Marik as he walked over and sat down with a drink in his hands.
"Marik at the moment Jack is the bigger threat then Akechi, but if he turns this around then i might say he's the bigger threat but as of now their Duel is none of my concern the only one i'm concentrating on is Dartz," said Andre.
"Andre i know you don't want to lose focus but getting worked up over it won't help when you do go head to head with Dartz," said Kaiba.
"I-I know that Kaiba, but i'm worried about Serenity ok," i said to him.
"Don't worry we'll get her back," said Kaiba as he offered his leader something to drink.
"Thanks Kaiba i really needed this," i told him.
"No problem but i think you should converse with the other teams that don't belong to the Gx team and warn them about the Society of Light," he told Andre.
"Good idea that way they can prepare if they have to fight Sartorius, Yako Tenma, or Director Goodwin," i said back to Kaiba.
"Then get to it we can't afford any more teams to fall to Sartorius," said kaiba as he began looking at the rest of the competition that was left even though none of them looked like they could beat me or his team leader on their worst days.
"Hey i said as i approached Team Rwby as i saw them face me."
"Oh your the guy who dueled that Alexis girl," said the girl with the long golden hair and two bracelets on her arms.
"Yes that would be me my name is Andre Neromaki i am the current King of Games i told them."
The youngest member of Team Rwby Ruby rose beamed at this because it felt like being in the presence of royalty to her as she bounced all around Andre but her team was skeptical at his title.
"Oh please said the girl with the elegant white hair and rapier on her side."
"You don't look like no king I've ever heard of and what does the title King of Games mean she asked"?
"Hehe i chuckled it means i beat the former king of games and am the new king of games that's all i'm not royalty or anything i told them."
I then explained to the girl who had introduced herself as weiss schnee that whoever can beat me is considered the new king or queen of games depending on how they title themselves.
"So if i get this right if i beat you i'm the new queen of games Weiss asked"?
"Yep but to get to me you have to be matched up with me in the second round or meet me in the finals," i told her.
"But enough of that i came to warn you and your team about Team Soul because i don't want to let what happened to my girlfriend happen to you girls," i said to them.
"Warn us from what we can take them," said the blond haired girl who was Ruby's big sister Yang xiao long.
"No do not underestimate them if any of you lose a duel to the Society of light you will be brainwashed it doesn't matter how strong you are," i told them.
"Also miss Xiao long your out of the tournament anyway since you lost to Rio it's just miss Blake belladonna, miss Ruby rose, and your Professor left since Weiss Schnee has already moved on to round 2," i told them.
I then explained that no one will cause a disturbance if you lose a member to the bad guys because you would be disqualified for attacking another contestant.
"What!" Yang shouted as she grabbed me by my collar and was ready to hit me after i finished explaining.
"Put me down i asked," as i then slapped her hand off of me.
Look that's how it is if you really don't want to get brainwashed then submit a disqualification form to kaiba and you can leave and go back to your academy or you tough it out pray you don't fight the rest of the society of light and go on the rest of your day with smiles on your faces i told them.
"Ruby you're the leader of our team i want you to make the decision," said professor Ozpin.
"I-I don't want any of us to fall victim to this brainwashing but i don't want to run away either," she said.
"So i have decided to not run and we will stay in this tournament and do our best even if we fall to the light we will be saved," she said.
"Very well said miss Rose i will meet you in round 2 in honor if u make it as well," i told her.
Now that I've explained to you everything im going to warn the other teams, enjoy the rest of the tournament i said as i walked away.
(With Team Satellite)
"Hey Yusei i shouted as he turned to see me running to his group."
"Oh hey Andre what's up he asked," as i showed up with a drink in my hand.
"I came to warn you about dueling any of the remaining duelists of the Society of light," i said to him.
"I appreciate that your worried about us but if we win all our duels i think we will be ok," said Yusei as he looked back at Jack and Akechi's duel.
"No Yusei you have no idea," what happens if Akiza ends up dueling Director Goodwin or Sartorius and loses are you really gonna sit here and tell me everything will be ok i said to him.
"Watch your mouth Neromaki," he said to me.
"You think i don't know what will happen i saw what happened to your girlfriend and i know the consequences," he shouted.
I then flinched at Yusei's outburst but held my ground.
"Yusei i know you think your team has the best chances of winning but your not invincible ok man you needed this warning ok don't forget that alright we may be friends but i will not tolerate this if my friends get hurt because of your or anyone else's actions you got that Fudo," i told him.
He sighed and gave Andre a thumbs up telling Andre he would have the situation under control.
I then chuckled the returned Yusei's thumbs up with an even bigger thumbs up and a smile and wished his team good luck in the tournament and moved on.

"It's my turn Jack i draw and play monster reborn to summon my Ace Detective King in attack mode then i play my polymerization to fuse my king with the darkest creature in my deck Detective Ace Dweller to fusion summon Loki the King of deception in attack mode," he shouted.
My new monster has one of the nastiest effects in duel monsters being by paying three thousand life points i can steal all my opponents monsters and have them work for me and when they attack they will think you are me mister atlas he explained.
"Now Loki use your power to have Jacks monsters attack him directly with your deception night shroud mist," said Crow.
Then jacks monsters suddenly turned around and looked at him with anger and then attacked without mercy ending Jack's reign at moving forward in the tournament.

Akechi had walked up to Jack and helped him up as they both shook hands and went back to their respective teams.
"Way to go Crow," shouted Ryuji/Skull as he high fived his teammate.
"Well it was easy to figure out his strategy then it was a cake walk to defeat him but i was worried for a second," he said.
"Well i'm just glad to see you move on to round 2," said his team leader Ren Amamiya.
(Announcer)
Ok Duelists the time has come for the next Duel will numbers 20 and 24 please make your way to the dueling platform he shouted.
"I guess that's me girls wish me luck," said Professor Ozpin/Oscar as he made his way forward to the dueling arena.
You got this the rest of Team Rwby said as they watched their headmaster go.
"Yako i want you to destroy this Ozpin man with no mercy, use the full power of your Wicked God Cards do you understand," said Sartorius.
"Yes master Sartorius," said the angry Yako Tenma as he made his way to the arena.
(Announcer)
Alright gentlemen are you ready to Duel and show the crowd whose going to win he shouted.
"I'm ready," said Professor Ozpin/Oscar.
"Whatever let's just do this," said Yako Tenma.
(Announcer)
Ok then on my mark 3,2,1, DUEL he shouted.
Ozpin/Oscar
8000 life points
Vs
Yako Tenma
8000 life points
"I'll start us off with my field spell the Emerald City," he said.
With this field spell in play all Maiden and Fairy type monsters i control can't be targeted by my opponents Trap or Spell cards he explained.
"Next i activate the continuous spell card Maiden of four seasons," shouted Ozpin.
Once per-turn i can pay one thousand life points to special summon one of the seasonal Maidens from my deck or my hand Ozpin stated.
"Now i pay one thousand life points to special summon Diana Frosty Maiden of Winter in attack mode with a cold chilling strength of three thousand five hundred and a icy defense of two thousand," next i play one card face down and end my turn.
"Very well it's my turn i draw and activate the field spell The Seal of The White Orichalcos, next i summon double coston in attack mode and end my turn with one card face down," said Yako Tenma.
"My turn i draw and activate the effect of my continuous spell card Maiden of four seasons," said Ozpin.
Now i pay one thousand life points to summon Raven the Dark Angel of Spring in attack mode he explained that Raven on being summoned could special summon another of the maidens from his deck.
"Now i special summon from my deck Amber Angel of the Moonlight Fall in attack mode and now for my attack," he said.
"Now Amber the fall maiden attack his double coston with your maiden storm destroying it with your attack strength of two thousand eight hundred attack points," he commanded.
"Not so fast Professor Ozpin i activate the quick-play spell card Wicked Barrier," he shouted.
Now what this card does is it protects all dark and or wicked monsters i control for two turns which means that your other two monsters can't get my double coston for now he said.
"Fine i'll end my turn by activating the spell card Maidens fury," said Ozpin.
With this card out if any of my maidens are destroyed by battle their attack points are transferred to me for life points and encase you didn't know or remember Amber has two thousand eight hundred attack points, Diana has three thousand five hundred attack points, and Raven has three thousand attack points so i'll leave it to you to figure out the math mister tenma Ozpin said to him.
"I'll end my turn with that," he said.
"My turn i draw and play card of sanctity now we each draw until we hold six," said Yako tenma.
"Then i activate the spell card Fiend Sanctuary to special summon a metal fiend token," he laughed.
"Now i sacrifice my double coston and my metal fiend token to summon the Wicked Dreadroot in attack mode," as he explained what the dreadroot did.
My monster cuts the attack of all other monsters in half including my own but himself so now all your monsters are doomed as he commanded his dreadroot to attack the fall maiden Amber with its dread fist attack.
"I was waiting for this," said Ozpin, i activate the quick play spell card Maiden fusion.
This card act's almost like battle fusion except my maiden gets the combined attack of her allies not the opponent's monster.
Now my maiden has the attack of four thousand six hundred and fifty attack points which is more than enough to defeat your Wicked Dreadroot Yako Tenma said Ozpin.
"Well if you don't remember my dreadroot gets an additional five hundred attack points because of the orichalcos," he said.
"That means i'll only lose two hundred and fifty life points," he then chuckled at the chip damage he received.

"My turns not over yet i activate silent doom to resurrect the Wicked Dreadroot in defense mode," then i play one card face down and end my turn.
Damn him all my monsters lost their original attack twice now i need to stop him Ozpin told himself.
"My turn i draw and i activate the effect of my maiden of four seasons."
Now i pay another one thousand life points to summon the final maiden Sienna khan Queen of the Midnight Summer in attack mode.
"Finally i activate the spell card Maiden Ritual of the four kingdoms," said Professor Ozpin.
This spell card fuses all four maidens together to create the most powerful card i possess i fuse all four maidens to create Akasha Queen of a higher plain with an attack strength of ten thousand and a defense of four thousand five hundred.
"She is also unaffected by any monster, spell, or trap cards," i told him.
"Now Akasha Queen of higher plain attack his wicked dreadroot with your Four season Tidal Hurricane attack," he commanded.
"Perfect you've fallen into my trap Ozpin," said Yako tenma.
"I activate the quick play spell card Wicked substitute," he said.
This card gives me the ability to switch my wicked dreadroot for any of the other wicked god cards in my hand or deck, now i summon the Wicked Avatar who is always one attack point higher than the highest monster and that's your Akasha he said destroying it because he had ten thousand and one attack points.
"Oh no i have nothing to defend myself," said Ozpin as he stared at the avatar.
"It's my move Ozpin and since you have only four thousand nine hundred and ninety nine life points left i'll just end this," he said.
"I draw and play monster reborn to summon back your Akasha in attack mode and now both my monsters have attacks above ten thousand thanks to the seal of the white orichalcos," as he laughed and said goodbye and attacked Ozpin directly with his avatar and Akasha ending the duel.

"Now rise Professor Ozpin and tell me who do you serve now and forever as a member of the Society of Light," said Yako tenma.
Ozpin replied with only two words as he stood up from his loss.
"Lord Sartorius," said Ozpin.
"Good now let's go say goodbye to your former team," he then chuckled and walked away.
"Girls I've seen the light and now that i'm apart of it tell that slave driving bitch Glenda she can run beacon," as he chuckled and went to catch up with his new subordinate Yako tenma.
"Girls i promise to save your headmaster from the light," as i walked up to them.
"I can't believe i'm saying this but we should have accepted your warning with a more serious attitude," said Yang Xiao Long.
It's ok girls you still have me,Marik,Kaiba, and Yuri to back you girls up as i explained as i walked over to Team Rwby's leader who was looking down.
"What's wrong miss Ruby rose are you seriously blaming yourself for this happening to your headmaster," i asked her.
"No i'm not blaming myself this will only give us the motivation to stay on task to defeat the society of light and save Professor Ozpin," she said to him and the rest of her team.
"Alright that's the spirit but i want you girls to stay at our booth encase Sartorius tries something because he gets in your head and you try to challenge him recklessly and you'll end up joining him because you can't focus on your duel," i told them.
(Announcer)
Well after that amazing duel we move on to the third duel of today and our Duelists are numbers 11 and 18 will Duel Academy's Zane Truesdale and the innocent Nue of Team Sinner please make your way to the dueling platform he shouted.
"Well guys its my turn," said Zane as he began walking until Jaden stopped him.
"Zane you better get your game on out there ok man," said Jaden as he patted Zane's back.
"Yeah i got it Jaden," he said.
"Nue you better win or i'll kill you," Jane said as she was the leader of the team.
"Understood sister i'll crush this Zane for all of you," she said as she continued walking to the platform.
"You should quit now while you're ahead miss nue," said Zane as he readied up to start the duel.
"And you need to S-Shut up," she said as she began to stutter with a tsundere like blush on her face.
(Nue's Inner Thoughts)
Wow he's so cool i hope he doesn't have a girlfriend i'd like to keep him all to myself as she was getting all red in the face.
"Hey what are getting all flustered for," he said to her.
"N-Nothing let's just duel," she said while stuttering again.

Nue the Sinner
8000 life points
DUEL!
"This is your unlucky day miss because i play the spell cards Overload fusion by banishing the Cyber dragons from my deck or graveyard i fusion summon my Cyber end dragon," in attack mode Zane said to her.
And next i activate the spell card Machine duplication, with this card i can duplicate one machine monster on my field so i special summon a second Cyber end dragon ending my turn.
"I don't believe it on his first turn he summoned two powerful machines with four thousand attack points," she said out loud.
"You can still quit nue no one will judge you if you forfeit the duel," he told her.
"S-Shut the hell up she screamed and drew her card," that being her Medical drago.
"I summon medical drago in attack mode then i activate the spell card Fairy Queen's Ritual by banishing 3 fairies from my deck i ritual summon Mercedes Queen of the fairies in attack mode," she said.
"Your monster only has one hundred attack and defense it's no threat," said Zane.
That's where you're wrong Zane i move to attack your Cyber end dragon with Mercedes Queen of the fairies but first i play the quick-play spell card Fairy revolution which brings back all fairy monsters that were banished this turn and by doing so they all get one thousand attack and defense for every even amount of fairies on the field do to Mercedes special ability.
"What! your joking," Zane shouted.
"Nope now i return to the field Ultier the fairy princess, Evergreen the fairy girl, and Wendy the sky dragon fairy in attack mode and their attacks are all three thousand each so this being and even number they all get four thousand additional attack and defense points," said Nue.
"So here our my monsters attack points," she said.
Ultier had originally three thousand attack points and two thousand defense points she said and now her attack and defense go to seven thousand and six thousand.
Evergreen had originally three thousand attack points and fifteen hundred defense points and now she has seven thousand attack points and five thousand five hundred defense points.
Wendy the sky dragon fairy had originally had three thousand attack and two thousand five defense and now she has seven thousand attack and six thousand five hundred defense points.
Now finally Mercedes has one hundred attack and one hundred defense points but on my next turn she will return to her original three thousand five hundred and ten but with an even amount of fairy monsters on the field she will jump to seven thousand five hundred and ten attack points and six thousand nine hundred and ninety nine defense points.
"This is insane shouted Zane," as he looked at her four behemoth like monsters.
"Now since Mercedes the Queen of fairies can't die in battle i'll attack your cyber end dragon granted i'll lose three thousand nine hundred life points but it will be all the sweeter," she said.
"Now Wendy the sky dragon fairy attack his cyber end dragon with your sky dragon roar attack," she shouted.
Not so fast i activate battle fusion to increase the attack of my monster by the exact attack of your monster said Zane bringing his dragon to eleven thousand even.
"Now counter attack cyber end dragon and dent her life points," he shouted.
"Hehehe she chuckled, not so fast i also activate battle fusion to make my sky dragon fairy gain your monsters eleven thousand attack points to make her eighteen thousand attack points," she laughed at him until she heard a chuckle.
"What's so funny your about to lose," she said.
This is why i activate the quick-play spell card forceful activation, this card lets me activate any spell or trap card as if they were also a quick-play effect so i activate final fusion this trap card makes both players receive damage equal to the combined attack points of both attacking monsters he explained.
"W-What! your willing to give up the tournament just to beat me here and now," she said.
"Exactly now this match ends in a draw and knocks us both out of the tournament," he said as the explosion sent them both flying and their life points to drop to zero.
(Announcer)
Wow in a quick turn of events we have our first double elimination and it was a bang as Zane Truesdale has committed a double backlash that takes him and Nue out of the game.
"Hold it said the voice of Nue," as she walked out of the smoke with no damage done to her.
"I don't believe it how is this possible," as he was shocked that he lost and she still had four thousand one hundred life points remaining.
"I win she said," by revealing that she had discarded her fairyboh to the graveyard to take no damage for the rest of the turn.

As Nue and her team celebrated nue's victory and Zane went back to his team not feeling as bad as he thought when he lost but then was approached by Nue.
"Hey that was an excellent duel Zane," she said as she shook his hand.
"Indeed i didn't think there was anyone besides Jaden or Andre that could have stopped my machine monsters," he said.
"Well i guess i'm the third she giggled and ask Zane a question.
"Hey after this tournament no matter who wins do you want to get something to eat? she asked.
"I-I'm not sure i've never been asked out before but what the heck i'll take you up on your offer since you beat me," he said.
Yay she giggled and hugged Zane and walked back to her team.

"Well i'm up wish me luck and i'll get us back on the board," said Jaden.
"I wouldn't be so sure Jaden Yuki," said his opponent.
"S-Sartorius i didn't think i'd meet you in the first round," said jaden.
"Fate is always cruel Jaden Yuki as will be our duel," where you will fall to the light.
"As if i'd fall prey to your Society of Light Sartorius," said Jaden.

"I'll make the first move and summon my Elemental hero clayman in defense mode next i play polymerization to fuse him and Elemental hero Sparkman to make the Elemental hero Thunder Giant in attack mode," Jaden told Sartorius.
"And i'll end my turn with a face down," said Jaden.
"Not a bad move Jaden but not good enough i draw and activate the Seal of the White Orichalcos now your freedom is on the line jaden," said Sartorius.
"Next i play polymerization to fuse my Arcana force 38 The Dreamer and Arcana force 68 the Walker to fusion summon Arcana force 106 The dream walker in attack mode," said Sartorius.
Now to explain his effects depending on what side he faces if it's facing upward then i can control one of your monsters for the rest of the duel but if it's upside down you will control 106 for the rest of the duel.
And as a bonus 106 has two thousand six hundred attack points so this is a very important choice jaden.
"Dang it i guess i have no choice fine i'll play your game Sartorius," said Jaden.
"Now jaden my card will spin and you tell it to stop and then we will go from there," said Sartorius.
As the card began spinning and after it got fast enough Jaden yelled out stop but the card ended up being right side up and as such Sartorius took Jaden's thunder giant to his side of the field.
"Now i have two monsters jaden and you don't so i'll attack and since i have the Seal of the white Orichalcos both my monsters get a five hundred attack point increase," said Sartorius.
"Now Elemental hero thunder giant with your now two thousand nine hundred attack points attack Jaden directly to bring him to five thousand one hundred."
"Next Arcana force 106 The Dream walker attack jaden directly with your three thousand one hundred attack points bringing him to nineteen hundred life points left," commanded Sartorius.
Ahhhh Jaden screamed as his back hit the platform hard but began to get up for his turn.
"I-I will not fall Sartorius it's my move i draw and play skyscraper and play cost down and finally monster reborn.
First i special summon from my grave Elemental hero clayman but i sacrifice him to play elemental hero Bladedge in attack mode.
"Now elemental hero Bladedge attack his thunder giant and because of skyscraper he gets one thousand attack points," said jaden.

"Very good jaden you scratched my life points but now this is where you fall," he said to jaden.
"First i play card of sanctity so we both draw up to six cards, then i play Arcana force 2 the world in attack mode," said Sartorius.
Now i play monster reborn to special summon back elemental hero thunder giant in defense mode.
"Now i build the overlay network by using elemental hero thunder giant and Arcana force 106 to xyz summon Diablo king of the Arcana in attack mode," Sartorius shouted.
"N-No way! that thing has six thousand attack points and because of the Orichalcos it's now at six thousand five hundred," jaden said to himself.
"Now Diablo king of the Arcana attack Jaden's Elemental bladedge with your arcana cannon and end this duel," he shouted.
"N-Not so fast i activate the effect of elemental kuriboh from my hand i take no battle damage for the rest of the turn," said jaden.
"Clever but i play one card face down and end my turn," said Sartorius.
"It's my turn i draw and summon winged kuriboh in attack mode, next i activate Transcend wings to turn kuriboh into a level ten monster," said jaden.
Now to do this i have to remove 3 monsters from my hand and i choose elemental hero neos, elemental hero terra firma the earth, and Neo spacian Aqua dolphin to give winged kuriboh level ten six thousand eight hundred attack points.
"Now use your special ability to self destruct and destroy Sartorius's monster causing Sartorius to take damage equal to his monsters attack points," said jaden.
"Damn you boy i didn't think you would get rid of Diablo that easily," said Sartorius.
"Oh i'm not done i discard Neo spacian air hummingbird to gain life points by three hundred for every card in your hand Sartorius," said jaden.
Now since you have four cards i get twelve hundred life points back bringing me to three thousand one hundred life.
"I then end my turn with a face down," jaden said.
"You think you've won just because you knocked me down to thirteen hundred life points but i'm about to destroy you," shouted Sartorius.
"I draw and play premature burial and pay eight hundred life points to revive Diablo king of the Arcana who has six thousand five hundred attack points because of the seal of the white orichalcos," Sartorius said as he chuckled.
Next i activate mystical space typhoon to destroy your face down card.
"Now Diablo attack jaden directly and end this duel with your arcana cannon blowing him away," as Sartorius chuckled at his victory.
"Hehehe Jaden chuckled, i might fall here but my friends will defeat you Sartorius so do your worst," he said.
"Fine now fall and join the light," he shouted as Diablo's attack enveloped jaden making him fall to his knees.
(Narrator)
As his friends saw him fall Team Gx was shocked and horrified that their leader fell especially Alexis who had been in the same situation that her current unconscious team leader/boyfriend joining the light.
"Now rise jaden and accept the light," he commanded.
"Yes lord Sartorius," jaden said as he got up and walked with Sartorius to the society of lights table.

"Chazz stop it's not worth it ok we will save jaden and the others," i said to him.
"Get out of my way i'll kill him," Chazz shouted.
"Calm down Chazz please if you strike Sartorius not only will you get your team disqualified from the tournament you won't be able to get jaden back," i said to him.
"Damn it fine i'll beat Sartorius officially and get back our team leader," he said as he went back to his group.
"I then turned around to face Sartorius, mark my words you bastard i will save Jaden and Serenity and Professor Ozpin and also mark my words on the fact of that i will destroy you and if not me then anyone of the remaining participants will stop you," i said to him.
"I'd like to see you try to destroy me in fact i'd like to see anyone in this aircraft try to defeat me," he barked back.
"Well we'll see you society of light freak show," i shot back at him.

DUEL!
"I'll start this duel off with pot of greed," said Marik.
This card allows me to draw two cards he said as he drew them.
"Then i play Juragedo in attack mode then i play card destruction to destroy our hands then we draw the same amount," he said.
"And finally i play monster reborn to summon Drillago from my grave in attack mode," i then end my turn Marik said.
"It's my turn, i draw and play my ancient fairy fighter in attack mode and then i set one card face down," she said.
"Now i'll attack your juragedo who only has seventeen hundred attack points," she said as she commanded her monster to attack.
Not so fast when juragedo leaves the field one monster on my side of the field gets one thousand attack points.
Next i activate the trap card rope of life by discarding my hand to the grave juragedo comes back eight hundred points stronger Marik explained.
"I end my turn," Luna said.
"Now i draw and then summon Gil Garth in attack mode now juragedo being three hundred points stronger than your ancient fairy fighter it will be destroyed but first i activate the effect of Drillago on my field.
If you have a monster over sixteen hundred i can attack you directly so go Drillago attack Luna directly with your hell drill attack causing her to lose two thousand six hundred life points.
Next juragedo attack and destroy her fighter for three hundred points of damage and finally Gil Garth attack her directly for eighteen hundred more life points of damage.
"I then end my turn with that," said Marik.

"It's my move," Luna said as she drew her card and then activated her fairy summoner trap card by paying half her life points.
This trap card lets me summon every monster in my hand with equal to or less than the life points i paid.
So i special summon my ancient fairy soldier, my ancient fairy prince, and my ancient fairy knight who all have sixteen hundred attack points.
But i'm not done i tune my level four ancient fairy prince and my level three ancient fairy fighter to synchro summon my level seven ancient fairy General in attack mode and now to use his special ability she said.
Upon his summoning all my opponent's monsters attacks go to zero and they can't change their battle position.
"Now Ancient Fairy General attack and destroy his Gil Garth and reduce his life points by four thousand eight hundred," she commanded as her monster attacked.
"And now i pay eight hundred life points to attack again because of my general's other effect," she laughed.
"Not so fast your effect went off but you won't be attacking i activate the quick-play spell card Shackles of the underworld," he shouted.
Now if my monster were to be attacked which it was this card equips itself to the attacking monster and deals the owner five hundred life points of damage and the monster can't attack.
"Damn it fine i end my turn with a face down card," she said.

"Excellent work Marik now if we can just keep winning we can get our friends back," i said to him.
"Well i tried to take it easy on her but when she thought of attacking again she got a little too greedy," he said back.
"Hey i'm glad your teammate won but are you sure we can keep winning," said Blake Belladonna as she looked up from her book.
"Ya i do i also believe that you girls can keep winning too," i said to them.
"Well that's good you believe so much but we should still be careful," said Weiss Schnee as she chimed in.
"Well you will be up for our team Yuri knock this Yosuke Hanamura out of the game," i said to him.
"I'll do my best for the team and for both Alexandra and Erica," he said.
"Speaking of Erica where is she," said Seto Kaiba.
"I think i saw her walking around but i could be wrong," I said to Kaiba.
(Over at Team Persona)
"So Yosuke you up for this tomorrow," said Yu as he was eating some Takoyaki Soba Noodles and drinking some tea.
"Well if this was related to the midnight channel i might have been all raring to go but this is a tournament and i'm not sure if my ninja deck will help me win," he said.
"Yosuke we've defeated a lot of messed up things but if you doubt yourself now what will happen when we go home you won't be able to help us fight the shadows/demons," i said to him.
"Alright i'll do my best for Team persona and with my persona Jiraiya i can't lose," he shouted.
(Narrator)
After all the duels had been done for the day some people went back to their rooms others stayed and to eat and drink and others were planning for tomorrow and for one Duelist it was serious as he had made his way over to the society of lights personal table that all teams had.
"Sartorius i want to speak with Serenity Wheeler," i said to him.
"Ah if it isn't Andre Neromaki why should i allow you to see her you might break my control over her," he said.
"Just do it i want to say my piece and then i'll leave got it," i told him.
"Very well i'll allow it but you only get three minutes with her or she might remember who you were to her," he said and then clapped his hands twice and she appeared guided by Dartz.
"Serenity it's good to see you are these guys treating you ok," i asked her as she looked at me with anger.
"Of course you stupid child she shouted at me, lord Sartorius would never harm any of his followers," she said.
"I see well i promise to save you even if you don't want me to at the moment," i said to her.
"Hehe hahahaha i don't want to be saved i love it with the society of light and even if i wanted you back your going to have to join us," she said.
"Well that's not happening i or any of the other participants will stop Sartorius before we'd ever join him," i told her.
"Then i hope lord Sartorius destroys you and when he does i never want to see your soon to be former king of games ass ever again," as she laughed and walked away.
"Serenity i said," as she walked away i turned to Sartorius with as much anger on my face as i could muster.
"You will pay you son of a bitch i'll make certain of that," i said to him and walked back to my team.
"Where did you go off to leader," said Yuri as he had looked at Andre only to find that his leader was beyond pissed.
"Nowhere Yuri but you should prepare for tomorrow's duel and don't always go with your same combo or Yosuke might destroy your black tyranno or your ultimate tyranno," i said as he got upset with me.
"How dare you tell me what to play or what not to play you may be team leader but you are not my boss," he shot back.
"Excuse me mister king but your not in your world anymore so get off your high horse and just prepare for your duel," i shot back at him.
"You bastard i almost wanted to forget because i thought i'd never make it back and you have to remind me of home that's it i quit i won't be apart of your team or your friend anymore," he yelled back.
"Yuri you can't do that if you walk away from this we'll be disqualified and if that happens Sartorius wins we're all screwed," i yelled back at him.
"Look i'm sorry for telling you how to prepare for tomorrow ok, i paid Sartorius a visit and i talked with serenity and he had her trash talk me and it pissed me off i thought i could get through to her and well she wants Sartorius to destroy me," i told him.
"Alright i accept your apology and i guess i kind of overreacted i'm just not used to being told what to do," he said.
"I understand i hate being told what to do as well but because i'm the leader that's my job as well as believing in my team and i do believe you will win tomorrow now how about before we head back we work on tomorrow's game plan ok," i said to him as i patted his shoulder.
"Ya and i guess it was a fight over something stupid huh," he chuckled as he walked by Andre to the guest rooms.
(Narrator)
The night grew and everyone turned in for the the night except for a few individuals that couldn't sleep but as everyone slept Sartorius and the remaining members of his team in the tournament plotted their next move until they got a visiter, who is it well let's find out.
(Team Society of LIghts Guest room)
"Sartorius i have a bad feeling because if Director Goodwin loses we're the only ones left of our team to be in the tournament we need to come up with a back up plan," said Yako Tenma.
"Don't worry Yako i have everything under control," said Sartorius as he looked over and saw Jaden and Serenity laughing about something.
"What's so funny you two?," asked Sartorius.
"Oh nothing sir Serenity was just telling me about her ex boyfriend's poor attempt at talking her out of your control," said Jaden.
Well then let's continue talking about the plan then but before he could finish what he was saying someone had knocked on the door.
It opened to reveal Yang Xiao Long who was standing there in her battle outfit with her duel disk and deck like she wanted to go a few rounds.
"Ah miss Xiao Long what do i owe the pleasure of getting a late night visit," said Sartorius.
"Cut the crap you bastard i want our headmaster back," she shouted.
"Oh and what do i get if i do give him back are you willing to trade your freedom for his," he asked.
"Not on your life i'll just beat the tar out of you if you don't comply," she said.
"Well i would be scared if it weren't for Andre's rule about attacking other duelists," he said with a evil smirk on his face.
Yang began thinking back to when Andre had told her that.
(Flashback)
Andre explained that no one will cause a disturbance if you lose a member to the bad guys because you would be disqualified for attacking another contestant.
"What!" Yang shouted as she grabbed me by my collar and was ready to hit me after i finished explaining.
"I then slapped her hand away and explained the only way to save yourself was to submit a disqualification form to kaiba," and then left.
(Flashback Over)
"Curse you she yelled at him because he had been right in the fact of that she couldn't touch him," and beat him to a pulp to get their headmaster back.
"How about a duel," said Sartorius as he looked at her with a malicious grin.
"Fine and if i win you will free everyone under your control," she said.
"Very well but if i win you will join the rest of my followers," he said as he laughed at her in a crazed tone.
Yang Xiao Long

Sartorius
8000 life points
DUEL!
"I'll make the first move freak, i summon my Burning fighter in attack mode and i can play even if he's a five star monster by discarding one card from my hand," she said.
"Next i activate the field spell Burning City to give all my fire and warrior monsters eight hundred additional attack points," she said.
So with my fighter being both a fire and a warrior he gets twice the extra attack points bringing him from eighteen hundred to three thousand four hundred attack points.
"And finally i play one card face down and end my turn," she said.
"Not a bad move girl but you already played right into my hands challenging me to a duel after hours," he told her.
"I draw and i'll start with this, i play my Arcana force 22 The Crippler," he said.
Now he will spin and if he should land right side up you will lose half your life points but if he lands upside down not only is he destroyed but i lose half my life points he explained.
Yang had seen how this got jaden and was trying to carefully stop Sartorius's card and land it upside down and when she yelled stop she got it to stop upside down but Sartorius activated a quick-play spell card called arcana's fortune which let him respin his monster.
"Damn i thought i had it but i guess i'll just stop it on upside down again," she said.
Stop she shouted once more and this time it landed right side up and she lost half her life points.
"I then end my turn with a face down," he said.
"It's my turn i summon my Burning prince in attack mode and then i play polymerization to fuse my fighter and my prince to become the Burning General in attack mode," she shouted.
And thanks to my field spell he gets eight hundred additional attack points she explained.
"Finally i play megamorph to double his attack from five thousand six hundred to eleven thousand two hundred attack points," she then commanded her monster to attack Sartorius's monster.
"I activate the trap Force for Force," he said.
With this trap card i can activate two spell cards from my hand or deck that will cause my opponent damage or raise the attack of one monster on my field.
"So now i activate The Seal of the White Orichalcos and battle fusion so now my monster gaines eleven thousand two hundred attack bringing it to twelve thousand five hundred," he then mentioned the seal of the white Orichalcos making him five hundred points stronger to thirteen thousand attack points.
"Now counter attack and destroy her monster to deal two thousand two hundred life points of damage," to her and drop her to eighteen hundred life points remaining.

"Now how do you feel Yang Xiao Long," asked Sartorius as he offered her a hand to help her get to her feet.
"I-I feel wonderful Lord Sartorius," she said as she felt like sitting there laughing with her headmaster who was happy she joined the light.
As the duel wrapped up Sartorius had went and got Yang a white outfit oddly enough it was the same as her regular almost revealing outfit.
"Thank you Lord Sartorius she said," as she hugged him and then told Sartorius she was going back to her team to get her teams information for the society of light.
"Wait Yang i have another mission for you besides spying on your team," i said to her.
"Yes what is my lord as she bowed but was smirking at what he might pick for her to do," as he got a book out on the Egyptian god cards.
"Yang your goal is to simply just bring me the god cards in Andre's possession got it," he said.
"You got it boss," she said in a sassy tone as she left to go do her job.
(Back at Team Domino's room)
As everyone was asleep Yang had gotten ahold of Andre's duel disk and his god card but as she left she looked at her sister with a sad face because they had become enemies with her being on the bad side.
She took one last look at her sister and left to complete her assignment.
As she returned to her master she looked happy and then scared because Sartorius was yelling at her for only getting one of the god cards even though she tried to explain herself.
"Miss Yang Xiao Long are you telling me he only had the one god card," as he slammed his hands on the table.
"Yes sir she replied frightened out of her mind," while still looking at him.
Damn he must have given Obelisk and Ra to give his team a bigger advantage as he yelled at Yang some more and told her to get out of his face and to return to her room for now.
As Yang left she had more fear in her eyes then when Sartorius was yelling at her because the moment she left Andre was right there and he was not happy with her.
"Yang i'm very disappointed in you seeing you fall to being one of Sartorius's lap dogs on top of stealing my Slifer the Sky Dragon your reporting all our strategies to him," i shouted at her.
"Shut up i'm happy over here with them, i'm also glad i lost my duel to Sartorius so i could be shown the light," she said.
"Oh the light huh well then what does your sister think of this do you honestly think Ruby will be happy for you i seriously doubt it," i told her.
"Don't talk as if you know us and i'm sure that when my sister falls to the light she'll love it more then being protected by your team," she shot back.
"Whatever i'm done talking i need sleep for tomorrow goodnight Yang Xiao long," i said to her and left.
And she then stood there in silence and began to cry knowing she just made a huge mistake that she couldn't fix all alone.
(Narrator)
Despite the girls best attempt at defeating Sartorius even Yang Xiao long was defeated and now Sartorius grows ever stronger with each new victim that falls to his light who can stop the all powerful Sartorius, will it be Andre our hero or will someone unexpectedly defeat him and end his terror of remaking the whole world into his Light Empire well one thing's for certain the second set of five matches has come to an end and with twenty duelists left in the first round it's still anybody's game.
