Chapter 26- The Admiral, battle under the sea

It was dinner time at the Slifer dorm, it was quiet and peaceful, or so it seemed until there were a loud scream from the Slifer meal hall.

"Jaden! Why did you eat my fried shrimp?" Syrus then placed his face down on the table as he cried as the other Slifer students watched, Jaden feeling awkward over the situation tried to calm him down, "I'm sorry okay Sy? But since you didn't your fried shrimps I thought you didn't like them".

Syrus lifted his head from the table, "You idiot, I love them, that's why I was saving them for last", Jaden looked at him as he was getting nervous, "Calm down Sy, I mean it's just fried shrimp, and it's not like this was the last time we will get it".

Syrus's glare intensified, "Yeah but we only get it once a MONTH! Which is why I always looks forward to it, and now I didn't get any since you took them", but before he could yell more so could they hear a loud sigh, "What a childish discussion you guys are having".

Syrus turned around and glared at Chazz, "Childish discussion?" Jaden looked at him as well, "Well if you feel that way Chazz, how about sharing some of your shrimps with Sy?" Chazz lifted his plate as to protect his food, "No way, why should I?" Jaden looked at him, "you're the childish one here then", Chazz glared at him, "I'm not childish Jaden".

Syrus turned back to Jaden and glared at him, "Well this is your fault Jaden, before you eat someone else's food you should ask if they put away because they didn't like it or because they were going to save it for later".

Jaden were about to answer when they heard the door to the meal hall open up, they all looked at the door and saw Chumley as he was trying to catch his breath, he then looked at them, "Uh, do any of you know why there is a submarine down at the docks?"

Syrus looked at him shocked, and Jaden and Chazz both stood up, Chazz still protectively holding his plate, "There is a submarine down at the docks?" All three of them repeated at the same time.

A LITTLE WHILE LATER AT THE DOCKS,

Jaden, Chazz, Chumley and Syrus arrived down at the docks and there really were a submarine there, they saw Bastion and Alexis there as well as a lot of other students, they went over there, "What's going on here guys?"

They pointed at the top of the submarine there a short, fat man in sailor's garb with a captain's was standing, he lifted the mike he was holding to his mouth, "Avast landlubbers! I be the admiral!"

All of them covered the ears as a high pitched sound echoed across the entire docks, the students all hoping they wouldn't lose their hearing when they were still teenagers, "Who is he? Some kind of pirate or something?"

The admiral glared at them, "Ye scalawags never laid yer ears on the tales of the admiral, the scourge of the seven seas?" Alexis got an awkward look on her face, "Uh yeah, I'm thinking he's a pirate".

The admiral then lifted his arm, "I'm here to challenge one of ye, to a duel!" The students once again covered their ears as the high pitched sound was heard again, "The bilge rat known as Jaden Yuki!"

Jaden and the other key keepers, both current and former, looked at him shocked, Bastion looked at Jaden, "Do you think he could be…?" Jaden looked at him, "A Shadow Rider? It's possible, he seems crazy enough to be one", the others agreed on that part.

Show yerself Jaden Yuki!" And once again the students had to cover their ears to protect their hearing as the high pitched sound echoed across the docks again, "Where ye be?"

Jaden stepped forward, "I'm right here, and aren't you a little too old to play dress up?" The admiral got angry when he heard that, "Why I'll keelhaul ya poopdeck, now at arms ya scurvy, we be dueling, get yarr game on".

Jaden looked shocked, "Wait hold on, right now?" Bastion looked at him, "No, he means next week", he said sarcastic, Chazz looked at him, "This should be good".

Then they all covered their ears again for the high pitched sound, "Let's go, get aboard, if not I'll be tyin' yer to the port for David Joes". Jaden gritted his teeth and walked towards the submarine, but Alexis called out to him worried, "Jaden wait, if this is a shadow game, no way we're letting you go all alone, I'm coming with you".

Jaden stopped, "Yeah and that's why I'm going alone, after all two of the three Shadow Riders we have faced so far has played dirty and used our friends to try and get an unfair advantage in the matches", Alexis smiled at him, "Jaden, we're in this together".

Bastion nodded his head as he stood on Alexis's right side, "Right I'm with you too", Chazz came up on Alexis's left side as he chuckled, "I just wish I had a parrot, or at least an eye patch", she then had a satisfied smirk on her face when she looked at Jaden, "Well that settle it, we're coming with you", Jaden gave them a troubled smile, "What am I going to do with you guys?"

Then they had to cover the ears again, "I'll scuttle the likes of ye, if ye don't come aboard", Jaden turned around and looked at Syrus, "Hey, you coming too Sy?" Syrus just looked at him shocked for a second before turning his head to his side with a angry look on his eyes, Jaden sighed, realizing that Syrus was still mad about that whole shrimp thing, he knew he had to find a way to make Sy forgive him once he got back.

But once they got into the motorboat Syrus looked towards them with a worried expression on his face, hoping they would be okay, once they reached the submarine, a large crane grabbed a hold of the boat and lifted it up onto the top of the submarine.

Bastion looked at the device as they were slowly lowered into the submarine through a entrance at the roof while the admiral were lowered through another entrance, "Quite high tech, for a pirate, I'm beginning to think that this admiral is less buccaneer and more financier".

They soon stood at the control center and Bastion looked around, "How else could he afford a submarine or a…submerged duel arena?" All of them looked around shocked, "Wow check all of this out, talk about shiver me timbers", the admiral looked at them, "Tis be a fine ship, but now let's weight anchor and duel ye filthy bilge rat".

A FEW MOMENTS LATER,

Both Jaden and the admiral stood across to each other in the submerged duel arena, "Wish ye mated farewell, yarr ain't be seein' them again", the admiral laughed while Jaden placed his deck into his Duel Disk and activating it, "Yeah right, I'm not saying good bye to anyone, because I'm staying right here", the admiral chuckled as he placed his deck into his Duel Disk which had some impressive looking gem stones placed in it, as well as gold lacing around the edges.

They both drew their first cards, "Alright, check this, I summon Elemental Hero Wildheart in defense mode", Wildheart appeared on a knee with his arms crossed in front of him, Def: 1600.

Then suddenly it went completely dark inside of the duel arena, Jaden narrowed his eyes at the admiral, I knew it! I knew this would be a shadow game". The admiral looked at him confused, "A shadow game?"

Jaden glared at him, "What's it for? My key? My soul? Are you going to use my friends to try and gain the upper hand?" The Admiral glared at him, "What ye be speakin'? Ye yella livered linny swabby?"

Jaden just narrowed his eyes even more, "You know what I mean, what is going to be? Will I be sealed in a doll, or a magic card?" The admiral looked completely confused, "What? I mean what ye be squeawkin'?" Jaden just continued to glare at him, "This shadow game remember?"

The admiral just glared back at him, "Tis no shadow game", Jaden just continued to look at him, "But what about my key?" The admiral looked at him confused, "Key? What key?"

Jaden glared at him, getting irritated that he was playing dumb, "The key that… wait a sec…" Jaden then got a weird suspicion, Yubel appeared next to him, he looked at her, "Could it be that he isn't the next Shadow Rider?" Yubel looked at him, "I thought so too in the beginning, but it seems like he isn't one actually".

Jaden looked back at the admiral again as he awkwardly scratched his head, "Okay, you ARE trying to unlock the spirit gates right? Aren't you?" The admiral gritted his teeth, "Why, ye scurvy swine, I be no Shadow Rider, and I'll prove it".

The next thing all of them knew the submarine shot up from the depths of the ocean and burst through the surface, tossing all of them off their feet, Chazz groaned, "I think… I'm gonna be sick".

Alexis had an awkward look on her face, "This guy sure knows his sailing, seems like he might be telling the truth and he's not a Shadow Rider after all". Bastion who had gotten up pointed at the arena while looking at them, "Wait…" They sat up and looked at him, "If this isn't a shadow game… how did he shroud the duel arena in darkness? Would someone care to… explain that?"

At that moment a sailor arrived at the control center and pressed an intercom button just as the lights got turned back on, "We fixed the lights in the arena sir". When the three teens heard that they fell down anime style from the shock.

The admiral looked at Jaden, "See me mate? I be no Shadow Rider, I be a ocean rider", Jaden nervously chuckled, All that worrying for no reason, this guy clearly isn't one of the remaining Shadow Riders, he thought.

Jaden looked at the Admiral, "Okay okay I understand, whatever you say Cappy", the admiral looked angry again, "I be an admiral now let's duel", Jaden chuckled as he placed his hands around his mouth, "Sure, if that's an ORDER admiral!" The admiral glared at him, "Ye know well it was", Jaden let out an awkward laugh, since he had been sarcastic even though the admiral didn't seem to understand that.

The slot for field spells opened up on the admiral's Duel Disk, "And now, prepare to taste the briney deep, with this, A Legendary Ocean", A light appeared from his Duel Disk before the arena got filled with holographic water, and then beautiful underwater ruins appeared around them, Jaden looked around him with a smile, "This is a really sweet card".

The admiral smiled at him, "Will ye think it be a grand laugh, when me sea monsters rip ye limb from limb", Jaden looked at him confused, "Huh? Uh come again?" Bastion's eyes then widened, "The ocean card! That field spell reduces the summoning level of all water attribute monsters by 1".

The admiral had a smirk on his face, "Yarr mate be right, meaning I can play Orca Mega-Fortress of Darkness without a sacrifice, and I be doin' just that", a huge killer whale appeared on the field, it had some mechanical features on its back and a large cannon in its mouth, Atk: 2100.

"But don't ye forget, me sea monsters also gets an extra bounty of 200 points for both attack and defense", Orca Mega-Fortress, Atk & Def: 2100-2300/1200-1400.

The admiral then pointed towards Wildheart, "And now, orca Mega-Fortress, scuttle that Wildheart, that means attack you swab", Orca Mega-Fortress then inhaled before it fired a blast from the cannon which destroyed Wildheart. Jaden shielded his face from the blast, I be expectin' from ye Jaden", Jaden looked at him confused when he heard that, "What?"

The admiral grabbed a card in his hand, "It be true, I know who ye be, yer deck, yer victories, oh yes, I've studied ye like a map, a map with a handsome treasure which is why I came to find ye", he then placed the card into his Duel Disk, "Oh and I lays a face down".

Looked now confused, "Me, why did you want to find me?" He drew his next card, "I play Graceful Charity which lets me draw three cards as long as I discard two", Jaden drew three more cards and looked at them, he then grabbed one of them along with one from his hand and placed them into his graveyard.

"Next I summon Luster Dragon in defense mode", Luster Dragon appeared on his knees with his wings folded in front of him, Def: 1600, "And next I'll be throwing down a face down as well", a card appeared in front of Jaden as he looked at the admiral, "So, what's so important about me that you came here to find me?"

The admiral looked at him with a smirk, "Well lad, listen, the admiral be building a new Duel Academy, at the briney deep, waddya think?" Jaden looked at him shocked, "Huh? Well…" Before Jaden could continue the admiral continued, "But me still need a first mate, a mate who be grand, a mate like ye…" he pointed at Jaden, "And ye help me run it ye swab".

Jaden looked really shocked now, "Me!?" Alexis who heard this looked worried and angry, "Not Jaden, he can't leave us", Bastion just looked at the two duelists, "Why not? It's an amazing opportunity", he gulped a little when Alexis glared at him, Chazz turned his head around since he stood with his back against them, "While it would be a bit more quiet and peaceful if the slacker weren't here, we are currently protection the three Sacred Beasts, so he is needed". He would never admit it, but it would feel a little lonely at Duel Academy without his rival.

The admiral looked at Jaden, "Jaden, ye be the finest duelist on the seven seas, I want ye to teach with me, ye'd be great". Jaden made an awkward smile, "Well sure, just as soon as I grow flippers and learn how to breathe under water".

The admiral got a smile on his face, "Then yer in", Jaden looked at him shocked, "Welcome aboard", Jaden held out a hand, "Whoa whoa hold on, I was just joking here". The admiral looked at him, "Were ye? Well then what say ye to a friendly wager, between mates".

Alexis looked worried, "Jaden, don't", Bastion nodded, "It's a trap Jaden", Chazz sighed, "Who cares?" However he also hoped that Jaden would say no, Jaden narrowed his eyes as he looked at the admiral, "Forget it".

The admiral narrowed his eyes as well, "I ain't be askin' ye, I'll be tellin', the duel has begun, and the wager has been set, if ye win, I'll be letting ye and yer mates go free, but if not, ye leave Duel Academy and join me".

Jaden narrowed his eyes even more, "Then I guess I just have crush you then so I can leave with my friends", the admiral chuckled as he drew his next card, "It be my turn, so ye may not have a choice", his face down then flipped up, "And I play, me face down card, a trap known as Cursed Waters level 3".

Jaden raised an eyebrow, "That's a strange name, what does it do?" The admiral grabbed two cards in his hand, "It be lettin' me summon monsters from the deep, whose levels total 3", he placed both cards onto his Duel Disk, "And me… be summonin' Torpedo Fish, and Cannonball Spear Shellfish".

A fish shaped as a torpedo appeared on the field, Atk: 1000-1200, then a monster shaped as a spear shell appeared, Atk: 1000-1200.

Bastion got an impressed smile on his face, "What a brilliant move, normally the levels of those two monsters would combine for a total of 5, but not so, thanks to A Legendary Ocean, both of their levels decrease by 1, resulting in a total of 3 instead, That's clever", Alexis glared at him, "Even so, don't compliment the moves of the person whose trying to take Jaden away from us", Bastion looked at her nervous, "Uh right, my bad".

The admiral had a smile on his face, "Now, I be activatin' the special ability, of the fierce Orca Mega-Fortress, by sendin' one of my beasts to David Jones, I can scuttle your face down". Jaden then watched as Cannonball Shellfish then got fired at his face down and went straight through it, thus destroying his Mirror Force trap card.

Then the admiral pointed at Torpedo Fish, "Now I'll be bidding adieu to my Torpedo Fish, to make your dark blue scaly fellow walk the mutinous plank", then just like the last monster, Torpedo Fish then got fired towards Luster Dragon who got destroyed as well.

The admiral laughed, "Now me Orca has a clear shot, fire", Orca Mega-Fortress then took and unleashed its attack and it hit Jaden directly, sending him flying, Jaden flipped over and landed hard on his rear end Jaden LP: 4000-1700. Jaden rubbed his chin with a smirk, "Not bad, I haven't gotten that since my trip to Sea Land".

The admiral got a smirk on his face, "Tis no theme park", Jaden looked at him, "Yeah yea whatever you say" Jaden drew his next card, "I now play Polymerization, and with it, I fuse Clayman and Sparkman to form… the Elemental Hero Thunder Giant", Sparkman and Clayman got sucked into the vortex and out came Thunder Giant, Atk: 2400.

The admiral didn't look impressed however, "Is that the best ye got mate? Even if year Yella belled gizzard keelhauled my Orca, me only take… a mere 100 points of damage", Jaden got a smirk on his face, he then grabbed a card in his hand, "You missed the boat admiral, because by sending a card to my graveyard, Thunder Giant can destroy one monster whose original attack points is less than his".

The admiral now lost his smirk, "How that be?" Jaden looked at him, "I read the card, now Thunder Giant, let's reel that whale in, Static Blast", Jaden sent his card to the graveyard, and so Thunder Giant gathered electricity in his hands and fired them towards Orca Mega-Fortress, destroying him, sending the admiral flying to the ground.

Bastion and the others got a smirk on their faces when they saw that, "Well… that's why they're endangered".

Jaden then pointed at the admiral, "And now Thunder Giant attacks you directly with Voltic Thunder", Thunder Giant then unleashed his attack on the admiral as he got back up, "Shiver me timbers", he then fell down again, Admiral LP: 4000-1600.

Jaden then looked at him, "And with that I end my turn, it's your move now admiral", the admiral looked at him, "Perchance a deal, me boy?" He jumped back up on his feet, "We maroon this duel here and now, and you come and work for me for a thousand doubloons".

Chazz looked wondering, "How much?" Bastion looked amazed however, "Amazing! That's over a million dollars", Alexis looked amazed when she heard that, "That's a lot of booty", Bastion looked at her, "I beg your pardon?"

The admiral rubbed his hands, thinking that he now had Jaden caught, "Ahoy, waddya say Jaden? Do ye wanna be rich?" Jaden shrugged his shoulders, "Nope not really", Everyone on the control center fell over from shock when they heard that.

Jaden looked at the admiral, "Don't you get it? I don't care about the money", the admiral looked at him with a smile, "Oh no? But what have ye, back at Duel Academy, ye swab? Ye mate Syrus doesn't want ye".

Chazz got a shocked look on his face, "Wow the admiral really… really did his homework", Alexis looked at the other two, "Syrus? Speaking of which, what happened between them? Normally he would follow Jaden anywhere". Bastion looked at her. "From what I gathered, Syrus got mad about something Jaden did, which is why… he didn't come with us".

They both looked at Chazz, he sighed and scratched his head, "Alright, Syrus was mad at Jaden for eating his fried shrimps earlier, he had saved them for later, but Jaden thought he didn't like them so he ate them, that's why he was so mad at him since according to him, he's always looking forward to them since they're only served once a month". Alexis looked shocked, then back at Jaden, she knew that Syrus wouldn't be mad forever about that, so there was no way Jaden wouldn't know that too.

Jaden looked at the admiral, "Sy will forgive me for what happened soon enough, we're best friends who would do anything for each other if we needed the other one's help, so one small mistake will not make him mad at me forever. He would also be very sad and depressed if I left Duel Academy so I have no reason to leave or accept your offer". The admiral wasn't fazed by what he said, "Mull it over whilst we duel, but remember if I win, ye'd be mine, either way", he drew his next card and looked at it as Jaden sighed since the admiral wasn't listening to anything he said.

"And now, me play this, the Shallow Grave, here's how the card works, we search our graveyards, and find a beast we want, and then we summon it in defense mode".

The admiral then looked at his Duel Disk, "Think I'll… be choosin' the terror of the seven seas, the Orca Mega-Fortress of Darkness", Orca Mega-Fortress reappeared on the field in defense mode, then both its attack and defense once again increased thanks to A Legendary Ocean, Atk & Def: 2100-2300/1200-1400.

Jaden narrowed his eyes, "And then I guess I bring back mine with the highest defense, so come on back Clayman", Clayman appeared on the field on a knee with his arms crossed, Def: 2000.

Jaden looked at Orca Mega-Fortress of Darkness, while he didn't think he would see it again, at least not this soon, he wasn't really worried, Thunder Giant took it down easily earlier, and by discarding another card on his next turn, Thunder Giant would take him down just as easy as before.

Jaden got a smirk on his face, but it disappeared when he saw that the admiral also had a smirk on his face, "But, before yer Thunder Giant makes quick of me Orca once again, I be tellin' you he's just a sacrifice", the admiral's smirk grew bigger, "So hold on to yer britches for there be another monster".

Jaden looked troubled, "Uh oh", Orca disappeared from the field, "And he be called, Levia-Dragon-Daedalus as a large blue sea serpent appeared, it had pale purple underbelly, blue spikes along its back with red fins between them, Atk & Def: 2600-2800/1500-1700.

Jaden took a step backwards when he saw it, "Wow that's a big fish, does he bit?" The admiral looked at him, "Ye best be wary of his special ability, by sending my A Legendary Ocean to the graveyard, the whole lot of cards on this here field of war, meets a dastardly end". The admiral sent A Legendary Ocean to the graveyard in order to activate his monsters ability, which meant its power decreased, Atk & Def: 2800-2600/1700-1500.

Jaden could then only watched as both of his monsters got destroyed, much to his friends worry since now he was wide open for a direct attack, "Now ramparts be down, fire forward all battery", the fat man ordered as he pointed at Jaden, "In other words attack and end this".

Levia-Dragon-Daedalus fired his attack but a card came out of Jaden's graveyard, "I activate Necro Gardna's special ability, by removing him from play I can block one of your attacks", Necro Gardna appeared behind Jaden and placed his arms around him and shielded him from the blast.

Bastion and the others sighed relieved, "He must have discarded Necro Gardna with Thunder Giant's ability earlier", the others nodded as they agreed, thanks to that Jaden had saved himself.

The admiral didn't look worried, "No matter, ya'rr finished anyway, 'tis nothing ye can do to stop me monster", Jaden looked at him, "Well see about that, alright here we go, I draw".

Jaden's friends watched worried as he drew his card, he now only had two cards in his hand, no face downs, and no monsters, if he ever needed a miracle draw, it would be now.

Jaden placed his card into his Duel Disk, "I activate Card of Demise which lets me draw until I'm holding five cards, but during my standby phase on my fifth turn from now, I must discard my entire hand".

Jaden drew four more cards, "Next I play Monster Reborn to bring back my Sparkman", Sparkman appeared on the field, Atk: 1600.

Jaden then placed a card into his Duel Disk, "Next I equip him with Spark Blaster", a gun appeared on Sparkman's hand with cables connected to his arm, "Now Sparkman gets three shots, and each of them can change the battle mode of one monster on the field, and so I change your Levia-Dragon to defense mode".

The admiral looked shocked as Sparkman fired a shot at Levia-Dragon who curled together, Def: 1500. Jaden held up a card in his hand, "And since I discarded my Necroshade earlier thanks to Graceful Charity, I now can summon Elemental Hero Bladedge without a sacrifice", Bladedge appeared on the field, Atk: 2600.

The admiral now looked nervous, "Ye summon a monster with 2600 attack points now?" Jaden nodded, "Yes and Bladedge can inflict piercing damage, now Bladedge, attack Levia-Dragon-Daedalus", Bladedge flew towards the sea serpent and sliced it with the blades on his arms, destroying it, Admiral LP: 1600-500.

Jaden smiled at the admiral, "Oh and admiral…" the admiral looked at him, "Sparkman can still attack you know", the admiral flinched, "Argh!" It seemed like he had forgotten that because of the shock over seeing Bladedge on the field.

Jaden pointed at the admiral, "Now Sparkman, attack the admiral directly with Static Shockwave". Sparkman then gathered electricity in his hands and then fired it towards the admiral who screamed when the electricity hit him, Admiral LP: 500-0.

Jaden soon stood in front of the admiral and did his signature pose, "And that's game", the admiral lowered his head, Argh, I might've been bested in this duel, but tharr be another way to catch this willy fish Jaden, the admiral thought with a smirk on his face.

The admiral stood up, "ye won, so yer free to go, just wait here as I talk to yer friends first". Jaden watched confused as the admiral left, he looked to his left at Yubel who appeared with a suspicious look on her face, she nodded and then followed the admiral.

A FEW MINUTES LATER OUTSIDE OF THE SUBMARINE,

Bastion, Chazz and a depressed Alexis sat in the motorboat as it got lowered into the water again, "I can't believe it, why would Jaden want to stay? He even said no!" Bastion looked at Alexis, "He must have changed his mind, I mean it was an amazing opportunity".

But just as they were about to leave they heard someone cry out, "Hey, you're planning on leaving without me?" They all looked up and saw Jaden standing on top of the submarine, he then jumped down and into the motorboat that swayed and everyone held on in order not to fall out of it.

Bastion looked at him shocked, "Jaden? But the admiral told us that you wanted to stay", Jaden looked at them, "Well he lied to you". And then he told them what happened.

FLASHBACK,

Jaden stood and waited, then Yubel reappeared, "Jaden, the admiral just tricked your friends into believing you actually wants to come with him, and he's currently about to send them away with the boat you guys came in", Jaden quickly took and ran out of the arena and saw the elevator had just taken the boat outside of the submarine, he knew he had only moments now.

He looked at the at the admiral, "How could you trick my friends like that?" the admiral looked at him innocent, "What are ye talking about my boy? I haven't been trickin' yer friends".

Jaden glared at him, "I know you lied to them and told them I wanted to stay, well I don't and you're going to let me go like you said", the admiral looked at him with narrowed eyes, then told his sailors to grab him.

The sailors closed in on Jaden, but Jaden just had a smirk on his face as the admiral looked shocked as his mean collapsed one by one. The admiral then grabbed his head as he screamed and closed his eyes, then he lowered his arms and opened his eyes, which now one was orange and the other one teal, "You only temporally knocked them out right Yubel?"

Yubel who possessed the admiral nodded, "Yes they will only be knocked out for an half hour, which is more than enough time for us to get out of here", she then told Jaden to go to the elevator that lowered the admiral down into the submarine earlier, she told him that by possessing the admiral she now knew how to work it and she could get him out of the submarine.

He nodded and did as she told him and placed himself on it, she then activated it and the elevator began to move up, Jaden was hoping that he would make it out before the boat left or one of his creatures would have to fly him back, Yubel then appeared next to him as she had stopped possessing the admiral and told him she had knocked him out while exiting his body and that he should be knocked out slightly longer than the others.

He nodded and then saw that they had almost reached the top of the submarine, and could still hear the crane that lowered the boat into the water, meaning they would make it in time.

END OF FLASHBACK,

Alexis looked seriously pissed, "He tried to kidnap you?" Jaden nodded and then looked at the sailor who sat at the steering wheel, he looked shocked over seeing Jaden, "Now how about driving us back to the island?" the sailor nodded nervously and the motorboat began making its way back to the island while Alexis leaned towards Jaden happy that he wasn't forced to stay with that crazy admiral.

LATER AT THE SLIFER CLIFF,

Jaden was sitting on his favorite spot behind the Slifer dorm, he enjoyed the wind in his face, thinking that he if he hadn't found out what the admiral had planned, he might not be here right now, this is the place he belonged, with his friends and girlfriend.

And speaking of his friends, he heard Syrus call out to him, he turned his head around and looked at his small friend who was looking at him nervously, "Hi Sy, why don't you sit down?"

Syrus sat down next to him, he looked at Jaden, "I'm sorry for getting so mad at you earlier Jaden, you didn't know I was saving them, and so I didn't bother to come with you when it could be trouble, I was relieved when you came back even if I didn't show it at first, but when the others told me that that admiral guy had tried to convince you to leave Duel Academy and come with him, even resorting to kidnapping when you refused and even won the duel, I felt so stupid for being mad over the fried shrimps".

Jaden just patted Sy on his head, "Don't sweat it Sy, after all I could have asked if you didn't want them, I knew you wouldn't be mad at me forever about that, so the point he made about you not wanting me here was nothing but stupid talk, I would never leave you or any of our friends little buddy".

Syrus smiled at him and held out his hand towards Jaden, "Best friends again Jay?" Jaden smiled at him and shook hands with him as he chuckled, "Sy, we never stopped being best friends in my book".

As he heard that so appeared tears in Syrus's eyes and he threw himself around Jaden, Jaden trying to calm him down while getting him off himself while feeling a little awkward about the situation.

So Jaden was forced to duel the admiral and if he lost he would have to join the admiral's new Duel Academy which he would build at the bottom of the sea, he managed to win the duel but the admiral still determined to make Jaden work for him tried to trick Jaden's friends to leave without him. However Jaden found out about it and managed to escape and Syrus who had been mad at Jaden for eating his fried shrimps which he had been saving forgave him, what will happen next? Continue reading to find out and please review.
