Last time the school had decided to hire a detective to help protect the spirit keys, he suggested they would hide them, while various people just happened to pass by just as they were hiding them. Then later that night the keys got stolen, the detective gathered the suspects and went to the key keepers who had gathered in Chazz's room along with Syrus and Chumley. It then got revealed that not only all of the suspects, but also the detective, had been behind the theft of the keys, since they were a criminal group called the Dark Scorpions. Chazz then faced the fake detective which were the leader, Don Zaloog, after an long an intense duel there it got revealed that all the members of the Dark Scorpions were actually Duel Monsters cards, Chazz won. What will happen to the group next?

Chapter 28- Abidos the Third, the lying legend

A FEW DAYS AFTER THE BATTLE WITH THE DARK SCORPIONS,

In a large hallway made of stone, torches lit up without anyone touching them, then at the end of the hallway, a group of people stood around a large sarcophagus, clad on robes and had painted clay masks on their faces.

Two of them grabbed the lid and moved it to the side, then a figure with a beautiful golden death mask and staffs crossed over its arms, sat up from the sarcophagus, the group gasped before they kneeled down before the figure in respect.

The figure looked at them, "Why has my slumber been disrupted?" He demanded to know, then an orb of light appeared in the sky above them and a voice came out of it, "To fulfill your duty to the shadows". The symbol on the figures masked glowed for a second before he rose up and then held out one of the staffs, "Ready my vessel".

LATER THAT DAY,

It was another typical day at Duel Academy, except for the fact that Jaden was actually awake in class today and he was currently in Banner's class, Banner usually taught them about alchemy and fusions, he also did teach them a little about the game's history. And so today he currently had artist renderings about two of the legends in the game of Duel Monsters.

He looked at the students, "Well students, you all know about Yugi Muto", he pointed at the artist rendering of a young man with spiky hair and blond lightning shape locks in the front, he then pointed at the other artist rendering of another young man, this one with short hair and a smug look on his face, "And of course Seto Kaiba, as dueling legends, far and away, the very best of their generation".

Then a random girl spoke up, "And best looking too", then another said, "They're total dreamboats", she then sighed happy, then a random guy spoke up, "I really like Mai Valentine".

"But you do realize class…" Banner said as he lifted some papers from his desk while Pharaoh lied on it, "There were other great duelists way before all of them".

Jaden sighed with a small smirk, "Yeah no kidding", through Yubel he had learned a lot of the game's ancient history, about the ancient battles with real monsters and spells.

Banner looked at them all, "While it's true that the card game has only been around a few decades, the game has an much older history in ancient Egypt as you all know since we went through this in an earlier class, and one of the best way back in those days, were a powerful Pharaoh named Abidos the third", then he showed an artist rendering of a young man with in a mask with a headdress and robes, "You see children, Abidos was undefeated".

Jaden now looked really interested, "Undefeated, that's so sweet, he must have been quite a duelist, of course…" he then got a smirk on his face, "It's a good thing, that he's not around these days, otherwise he would have to say good bye to that undefeated record if he faced me".

Chazz who sat on the row right behind Jaden chuckled with a mocking smile on his face, "Sure he would slacker, and then you'll probably take down Yugi and Kaiba as well".

Jaden turned around and looked at him with a smile, "You think? Well thanks I had no idea you believed in me so much Chazz", Chazz got an irritated look on his face, "It's sarcasm, you got that slacker?"

Jaden resisted to smirk, he had been aware of that, but had decided to mess around with Chazz a little, he leaned back in his chair and put his arms behind his head while he closed his eyes, "Sure, whatever you say, but if you wanna change your name Chazz, you can do a lot better than sarcasm".

Chazz who finally snapped put Jaden in a headlock, "You know what I mean slacker", Jaden laughed as he had managed to get Chazz angry, Syrus looked at them a little troubled, "Hey come on guys, you're gonna get us in trouble", Chazz who were gritting his teeth let go of the headlock and grabbed Jaden's ears, "You wanna see trouble? Fine, how about this?" He then pulled hard in Jaden's ears, causing Jaden a lot of pain.

Syrus continued to plead in a whisper, "Please stop, Professor Banner is gonna hear us", even though he did find the situation a little funny, but then stiffen when he heard Banner's voice, "He sure will". The three boys looked forward at their teacher, "You three can continue… in detention", Syrus sighed, "Oh man, it's the fifth time this week".

LATER THAT EVENING AT THE LIGHTHOUSE,

Alexis stood at the lighthouse and Zane came up to her, this was their usual spot when they would talk, they both looked out over the ocean, "Thanks for coming Zane", Zane looked at her, "I just needed someone to talk to, I though having Atticus back would make everything okay again, but… it seems like there's even more questions than ever now, and then with these Shadow Riders, I just don't know what to do Zane".

Zane looked out over the ocean again, "Yeah, neither do I", Alexis looked at him confused, "But know that for now, you're safe Alexis", she smiled at him, "Yeah", she then looked out over the ocean again.

But as the waves crashed in to the pier, they heard something, they looked behind them and saw the cement crack open and were shocked and horrified when rotten mummies came up rose up from the cement.

Zane as to try and protect Alexis stepped in front of her, trying to shield her from the mummies that came closer and closer, he narrowed his eyes troubled, "Not good".

AT THE SAME TIME WITH JADEN, SYRUS AND CHAZZ,

The three Slifer boys was finally walking back towards their dorm, "I spend more time in detention than I do in the classes, my mom is not gonna be happy about this", Syrus said, Jaden tossed a look at Chazz, "Just blame sarcasm over there". Chazz lost his cool and went behind Jaden and grabbed a hold of him, "Okay, that joke's old", he then squeezed who yelled in pain.

Syrus looked at them fighting and arguing and sighed, "At least… things can't get any worse", but the moment after he said that all three of them heard a scream, all of them ran over to the edge of the path, "What was that?"

Jaden's question was answered when they looked down and saw that Zane and Alexis were surrounded by mummies down at the lighthouse, "Alexis!" Jaden cried out worried while Chazz called out to Zane, "Mummies?" Syrus asked looking shocked and worried.

Zane looked up and saw them moving to get down to them, "Save yourselves!" Jaden looked at him like he was crazy, "Are you kidding? No way! you guys need…" however the three boys stopped as mummies rose up both in front of them and behind them, "Help". Jaden finished, realizing that now all five of them needed to be saved.

Jaden moved his hand to one of his deck boxes, prepare to call upon Elemental Dragon Hero Burstwing and have him roast these walking corpses and then save Zane and Alexis. He however stopped shocked when he heard one of them spoke and what it said, "Give us the spirit key".

Jaden looked at them with narrowed eyes a little confused, "My key?" Chazz then also narrowed his eyes, "Shadow Riders?" Jaden narrowed his eyes, he didn't believe these mummies were Shadow Riders, they were too many, and so they didn't look like they could duel anyone, but it didn't mean that they weren't under the control of one of the Shadow Riders.

Syrus took a step backwards in fear, then a bright light appeared in the sky, they all, including Alexis and Zane, looked up and saw a ship in the sky, and it looked like it was made out of pure gold, then a voice could be heard from it, "Duelists, I have come for you", then all of them got blinded by a bright light before everything went dark.

A LITTLE WHILE LATER,

Jaden was slowly opening his eyes, he sat up wondering where he were, "Welcome back Jaden", Jaden turned around when he heard Zane's voice and saw him, Alexis, Chazz, Syrus and Banner sitting a bit away from him, "What in the… Professor?" Banner looked worried, "Those mummies found me and brought me here as well, that spirit key I have must have led them right to me".

Zane nodded, "Yes that must be how they found all of us, and me and Sy were caught too since we were with people who had spirit keys since mine has already been taken".

Then all of then looked shocked when a loud bong could be heard, Jaden ran over to the platform in front of them, he looked up and saw a throne at the end of it, and in the throne sat a masked figure in robes that looked like they were from ancient Egypt, the others came over and looked as well.

The figure looked up, "Hello there", Banner fell on his back in fear, making the others look at him confused, "What's wrong with him?" Syrus asked, Chazz slightly turned his head and looked at Banner, "I don't know, looks like he's seen a ghost",

The figure stood up, "What's this?" Jaden then took and jumped up on the platform, which caused everyone to call out to him and tell him to be careful, Jaden stared at the figure, "Hey! What's the big idea here pal?" Jaden couldn't place his finger on it, but this person seemed familiar. The figure started walking towards him, "That's not how one should address an Egyptian Pharaoh".

"Egyptian Pharaoh?" Jaden repeated as all of them looked at him, "He looks just like the picture Banner showed us in class today", Jaden's eyes widened when Chazz said that, that's why this guy looked so familiar, "Abidos", Alexis said just as Jaden thought the same thing.

Abidos stopped and looked at Alexis, "You would make a fine palace girl my beautiful dove", Jaden glared at him, not liking how this guy was talking to Alexis, Alexis glared at him as well, "1, the name's Alexis you masked weirdo, 2, I have a boyfriend and 3, what's going on here?" Zane narrowed his eyes as he looked at Abidos, "He's a Shadow Rider Alexis, after those Sacred Beasts like the rest of them". Chazz nodded, "And it seems, like the punk's got us outnumbered".

Abidos looked at them, "That's right, so just leave your keys and walk away, you don't want to duel me", but then he looked at Jaden shocked since Jaden had gotten a smirk on his face and chuckled, "Are you kidding? It's not every day an undefeated legend appeared in front of me, you think I'm going to ignore this opportunity". Abidos looked at him, "You can't talk to me like that", one of the guards looked at Jaden, "You can't talk to him like that".

The gang sighed, since they should have seen this coming, Zane looked at Jaden, "Jaden, you do realize this will be a shadow game right?" Alexis looked at him worried, "He's right Jaden, your soul is on the line here". Syrus looked at him worried, "And this guy is undefeated Jay".

Jaden looked at them, "Trust me I know the risks, but we will have to face all the Shadow Riders eventually, and besides…" Jaden looked towards Abidos with a smirk, "I have wanted to face this guy since I heard he was undefeated and show him how we do things in the 21st Century, now get ready to get your game on Abidos".

Abidos looked at Jaden, "My game is always on, now prepare yourself key keeper for…" however Chazz interrupted there while holding a Duel Disk, "Yeah yeah we get it, this isn't our first shadow game exactly, catch Jaden!"

Syrus looked behind him, "Hey that Duel Disk looks just like mine", He then saw that his backpack was open and empty, meaning that that was his Duel Disk, Jaden grabbed it with a smirk as he put it on, "Alright, time to throw down", he placed his deck into the Duel Disk and Abidos put his deck into his Duel Disk before they activated them, "Duel".

Abidos placed his fingers at his deck, "Let's see", he drew his card and looked at it, ""First… I think I summon, Pharaonic Protector in defense mode", A monster with clothes that looked like they were from ancient Egypt appeared on a knee with its arms crossed in front of it, Def: 0.

Syrus looked shocked, "It has 0 defense points?" Abidos then placed a card into his Duel Disk, "And I'll lay down a face down, your turn", Jaden narrowed his eyes, since Abidos were undefeated he had expected a little more, well this might get more intense later.

"It's my turn", Jaden then drew his next card, Abidos held out his hand, "Not before I activate, the first Sarcophagus", Jaden looked confused when he saw the trap card with a picture of a sarcophagus on it, "I have never heard of that card before".

Abidos chuckled, "Well, after this duel, you'll never forget it, though you may want to, but I'm afraid you will have to wait until I bring out the other two sarcophagi to see why key keeper", Syrus looked troubled when he heard that, "Two more of them?"

Jaden smiled, "Yeah okay, if that card will remain on the field that long, so can I make my move now? Because I have a few tricks and monsters I would like to show you now Abidos", Abidos looked at him, "Put your monsters where your mouth is".

Jaden smiled as he grabbed a card in his hand, "Okay, you asked for it, I summon Elemental Dragon Hero Archangel in attack mode", A bright appeared in the sky as Archangel descended, his golden sword in his hand, Atk: 1000. A card came out of Jaden's deck, "And when this card is summoned, I can add an Elemental Dragon Fusion from my deck to my hand", he showed the card before he added it to his hand.

He then pointed at Archangel, "And now Archangel's second special ability activates, for as long as he's on the field, all Elemental Dragon Heroes on the field gain 100 points multiplied by their level, so Archangel gains 400 more points", Archangel Atk: 1000-1400.

Jaden then took and pointed towards Pharaonic Protector, "Now Elemental Dragon Hero Archangel, attack Pharaonic Protector with Sword of Justice", Archangel roared as he lifted his golden sword and grabbed it with both of his hands before he flew towards Pharaonic Protector, he then slashed him twice with the blade before the zombie creature got destroyed.

Jaden looked at Abidos who covered his face with a smirk, "Sweet, dueling isn't what it used to be huh old timer?" Jaden asked as he ended his turn. Abidos lowered his arm as he looked at Jaden, "No, it's much tamer now apparently", he then added a card from his deck to his and when First Sarcophagus started glowing, "But now, let me give you a taste of the old school I play Second Sarcophagus". He looked at Jaden as the second card appeared on the field, "And once the third is played, this duel and your soul will be mine". Jaden were a little concerned over how confident Abidos sounded, but he also wanted to see what would happen.

Alexis looked troubled, "What's it going to do?" Syrus trembled scared, "I really don't want to know", Abidos drew his next card and looked at his hand, "Next I play… my Pot of Greed, this lets me draw two more cards from my deck, and I think I will activate one of them right now, go Tribute to the Doomed, now by discarding one card from my hand, your Archangel is destroyed".

Jaden watched as Archangel got wrapped in bandages, then how a hand came up from the ground and grabbed him before pulling him into the ground, Jaden gritted his teeth a little at seeing his monster getting destroyed. Abidos then grabbed a card in his hand, "And next I play…Pharaoh's Servant in attack mode", a man in mask appeared on the field wielding a spear, Atk: 900.

"Now, stick him", Pharaoh Servant rushed towards Jaden and slashed him with the spear as Jaden groaned in pain, Jaden LP: 4000-3100. Abidos looked at him, "My undefeated record will be staying intact, but will not". He then placed a card into his Duel Disk, "Don't worry key keeper, after I play this face down, it's your turn again, IF you have the strength left to play it that is".

Jaden steadied his feet and stood up and smiled at Abidos, which confused the ancient Pharaoh, "Come on, you really shouldn't underestimate… the people of the present, it's my turn now", Jaden drew his next card while thinking about something that was confusing him.

He looked at Abidos, from the story of him being undefeated, he excepted a lot of tough monsters and spell and traps, but so far this guy had been using cards that you usually saw in a deck of someone who had recently started to play the game, not someone who had played for years, or a few millennia in this guy's case.

Abidos looked at him, "What's wrong? Too scared to make a move?" Jaden felt a smirk appear on his face, this guy was asking for it now, "You want me to bring it? Then how about this, I play the spell card Mystical Space Typhoon, and I will use it to destroy… that First Sarcophagus", the typhoon came out of the spell and flew towards Abidos's trap card, Jaden's smirk grew, "Oh what a shame, looks like we won't get to see what it does after all".

Abidos grabbed a card in his hand and placed it into his graveyard, "I don't think so, I play Magic Jammer, it will turn your typhoon into just a nice breeze", the typhoon disappeared before it could reach the trap card and Mystical Space Typhoon got destroyed, Jaden felt a smile appear on his face, "I have to admit, that was a pretty sweet counter, that's what I'm talking about".

Abidos looked at him, "you SHOULD be talking about getting some new cards for that weak deck", Syrus looked troubled, "Oh he shouldn't have said THAT!" Alexis nodded, "Yeah a really bad call".

Jaden's smile grew, "Weak huh? Let's see if you think this is weak, I summon Elemental Dragon Hero Quickclaw in attack mode", a hurricane appeared and everyone had to hold on, and then Quickclaw flew out of it and landed on the field, Atk: 1600.

Jaden then drew the top four cards of his deck, "And when he's summoned, I check the top four cards of my deck, and if I find a level 6 or below monster, I can summon it to the field, I get to pick if there is more than one, the rest of the cards however is shuffled back into my deck".

Jaden looked at the cards and his smile grew if possible even bigger, "And next I summon Elemental Dragon Hero Burstwing in attack mode", An explosion happened behind Jaden as everyone shielded their faces from the heat of the fire, Burstwing then flew out from the explosion and landed next to Quickclaw, Atk: 1700.

Jaden then shuffled the other three cards into his deck before he grabbed a card in his hand, "Next I discard my Monster Reborn in order to activate Burstwing's ability, now one of your monster's loses 800 attack points until the end of your next turn, and for every two levels that monster has Burstwing gains 300 points until the end of your next turn".

Pharaoh's Servant went down on a knee as he got covered by a red aura and lost power, Atk: 900-100. Burstwing however roared as he got covered by a red aura and his power rose, Atk: 1700-2000. Jaden then pointed at Pharaoh's Servant, "Now Burstwing, attack Pharaoh's Servant with burning Slash".

Burstwing opened his mouth and fire came out of it and covered his wings, he then flew towards Pharaoh's Servant and slashed him with his wings destroying him, Abidos LP: 4000-2100. Abidos took a few stumbling steps, Jaden then pointed at him, "Now Quickclaw, attack his life points directly with Shadow Slash".

Quickclaw grabbed his sword on his back and vanished in high speed, Abidos looked around confused wondering where the dragon warrior were, he didn't noticed that Quickclaw had appeared behind him with his sword drawn until he slashed him, Abidos LP: 2100-500.

Abidos fell down on all four because of the pain from the attacks, he looked at Jaden, "You… can't attack me!" Jaden looked at him confused while his Hero Dragons slightly turned their heads around and looked at him, equally confused, Jaden scratched the back of his head, "I can attack you, I hate to inform you but yeah I can, that's kinda how you play the game, just read the rule book and you will see".

Abidos was confused, "But I'm Abidos! The greatest duelist ever", now Jaden's confused look got replaced with a serious one instead, "Well I wouldn't say you're the greatest, in fact you're pretty far from it since you haven't been dueling all that well at all. You see since I heard you were undefeated, I expected some really sweet and powerful monsters as opponents and some really rare cards, but so far you haven't lived up to my expectations".

Syrus also had a confused look on his face now, "Yeah his deck is hardly better than a starter deck is, for a legend this guy is a bit of a letdown". Chazz looked at the duel uninterested now, "Well it sure looks like Jaden is gonna win this match easy".

Jaden then grabbed a card in his hand, "I now place one card face down and end my turn, it's your move now Abidos, uh, hello?" Jaden looked at Abidos who was just lying there on all four, confused over why he wasn't doing anything.

Abidos was thinking about what these kids had been saying, if he wasn't as great as he thought, then how did he win all the matches in the past? He then remembered something he happened to hear once.

FLASHBACK,

In the throne room of the Pharaoh's palace in ancient Egypt, a long line of priests stood there watching as one of their own stood against Abidos dueling with him with strange golden bracelets on their arms, waiting for the turn they would duel him.

"Now…"Abidos said as he held out his hand, "I attack with Sinister Serpent", the green giant serpent came out of its stone tablet and bit the priest who screamed as his points went down to 0, "I win another match".

And after that, more and more priests challenged the young Pharaoh, but he used various monsters to defeat every single one of them, "I cannot be beaten". His last opponent bowed to him," You are the greatest, o Pharaoh".

Then another said, "All hail Abidos", then all of the priests started chanting, "hail, hail, hail, hail", while Abidos got a satisfied smile on his face. But once he left he accidently heard one of the priest said irritated, "You know I'm getting really sick and tired of having to lose to that spoil brat all the time". Another one nodded, "Yeah but if we don't he'll probably feed us to the lions".

END OF FLASHBACK,

Abidos's thoughts now back in the present started to put everything together, "Wait! Could it be that all my servants… let me win?" Jaden looked at him shocked, "Let you win?" Chazz narrowed his eyes, "Wow what a giant loser this guy is". Syrus looked interested, "You know what, I wouldn't mind having some servants like that".

But Alexis looked at Abidos, now feeling a little bad for him, "But his whole life has been a lie, and it can't be easy for him". Jaden looked at Abidos, "So you've never dueled?" Abidos looked at him, "I… guess not".

Jaden felt a smile appear on his face, "Then how about we start your first real duel right now", Abidos looked at him, "What?" Jaden smiled at him, "You heard me, now get up on your feet again and get your game on, again, but if this is going to be your first real duel, let's do this right and ditch that mask".

When Jaden said that Abidos lifted his arm and grabbed his golden mask and took it off, revealing the smiling face of a handsome young man with tanned skin and large bluish gray eyes, Jaden smiled at him while the others gasped when they saw this, "That's it Abidos".

Abidos looked at Jaden, "Jaden, just promise me you'll give it your best", Jaden smiled back at him, "That's what I always do when I'm dueling so you don't have to worry about that, now let's duel Abidos".

Abidos then held up his Duel Disk as a glow came from his deck, "I now activate, Third Sarcophagus", the third card appeared on the field between the other two. Alexis looked at Jaden with a look on her face that said she couldn't believe him, "Leave it to Jaden to pep talk a Shadow Rider". Chazz nodded, "No joke, really bad idea".

Abidos then got a smile on his face, "And I… sacrifice all three… to finally summon… Spirit of the Pharaoh in attack mode", Jaden looked at him confused, "Spirit of the who?" The three cards disappeared, and then a new sarcophagus appeared on the field, and then all of them watched as it were slowly opened from the inside.

Then a figure with dark blue skin, red and golden Egyptian armor, a hooked blue and gold staff and a sword rose up from it, Atk: 2500. Jaden looked at him, "Okay, I admit that he looks cool but I have to admit… I expected more than 2500 attack points considering all the work it took to summon him".

Abidos looked at him, "I'm not done, a Pharaoh is nothing without his servants, you see whenever he's summoned, I can call upon his friends, up to four level 2 zombies from my graveyard.

And so two Pharaonic Protectors and two Pharaoh's Servants appeared on the field, Atk x 4: 900. Abidos then drew his card and looked at it, he got a smirk on his face, "I now activate, Thousand Energy, now all level 2 monsters on the field gains 1000 attack points", Jaden watched in shock as the four level two monsters points all rose, 4 x Atk: 900-1900.

Abidos then pointed at Quickclaw, "And now, I will attack that Quickclaw with one of my Pharaoh's Servants", the Zombie monster prepared his spear and moved towards Quickclaw.

But then to Abidos's shock so flew Burstwing in between them, Jaden had a smirk, "Sorry Abidos, but when Burstwing is on the field, he's the only Elemental Dragon Hero you can attack, so your Pharaoh's Servant must attack him now".

Burstwing grabbed the spear Pharaoh's Servant tried to slash him with and snapped it in half, he then opened his mouth and unleashed a stream of flames at the Servant, destroying him, Abidos LP: 500-400.

Abidos smiled at Jaden, "Not bad, then I will just have to attack your Burstwing with the Spirit of the Pharaoh". Spirit of the Pharaoh took and slashed Burstwing with his sword and destroyed him, Jaden LP: 3100-2600.

Abidos then pointed at Quickclaw, "And next, my second Pharaoh's Servant will do what the first couldn't now take down that Quickclaw". The second Pharaoh's Servant rushed towards Quickclaw with its spear.

But Quickclaw then went down on a knee and crossed his arms in front of him before he folded his wings around himself, Def: 1400. The spear hit his wings but Quickclaw repelled him.

Jaden looked at Abidos who looked confused, "Quickclaw's second special ability, once per turn when he's targeted for an attack, he switches to defense mode and can't be destroyed by that attack".

Abidos looked at him, "But now he's defenseless, now my first Pharaonic Protector, take him out", the first Pharaonic Protector then took and destroyed Quickclaw. Jaden then quickly pressed a button on his Duel Disk, "I activate my trap Call of the Haunted, now I can summon one monster from my grave to the field in attack mode, and I chose Burstwing".

Burstwing then reappeared on the field and Abidos gritted his teeth a little, "Yeah well my second Pharaonic Protector will take care of him, now attack", the second Pharaonic Protector then took and destroyed Burstwing, Jaden LP: 2600-2400.

Then Abidos grabbed a card in his hand, "Now I think I'll sacrifice one of my monsters to activate Soul Guide, it gives me life points equal to the attack points of the card I lost", One of the Pharaonic Protectors disappeared, Abidos LP: 400-2200.

Abidos looked at Jaden with a smirk, "But it's about to get a whole lot better, Soul Guide also lets put a copy of the card I just sacrificed right back in my hand, and even though Thousand Energy will most certainly destroy my monsters, with how your field is looking, it doesn't matter, my record shall stand".

Jaden however laughed a little, Abidos looked at him, "What's so funny, you know you're about to lose your soul", Jaden smiled at him, "Not yet I'm not", Abidos looked at him, "Is that so?" Jaden nodded, "That's right and your about to see why, I draw".

Jaden looked at the card he had just drawn, "I activate Graceful Charity, it lets me draw three cards but then I have to discard two", Jaden drew his three cards and then his eyes widened in shock as he had just sensed something,

He looked at the three cards, one was Pot of Greed, the second were Lightningstorm, and the third were…Jaden sighed, "You really wanna a chance to fight again don't you?" The others looked at him confused as he had a helpless smile on his face, "Alright I will let you have some fun, as long as you remember our deal".

Jaden then took and grabbed from his hand Dark Blade and elemental Dragon Fusion and discarded them, he then held up Pot of Greed, "Next I use Pot of Greed and draw two more cards".

Jaden then drew his cards but didn't really look at them as he knew what he should do, he could have fused Lightningstorm with Quickclaw in his grave to summon Vortex Fang and return the Spirit of the Pharaoh to Abidos hand and then attack him directly and win, but he had made a promise and while Abidos didn't seem truly evil, he was a Shadow Rider.

Jaden then grabbed a card in his hand, Dark Blade and Archangel appeared on the field, "I now remove one light monster and one dark monster from the game…" Everyone looked shocked at him, though Syrus looked more scared than shocked.

He looked at Jaden, "You can't really be thinking about summoning him again right? I mean don't you remember what happened last time?" Jaden smiled at him, "Things are different from then, anyway now I summon Chaos Emperor Dragon – Envoy of the End in attack mode".

All of the others looked in amazement as the huge Chaos Emperor Dragon appeared on the field and roared, Atk: 3000. Abidos looked worried when he saw the dragon's strength but looked confused when Jaden said there was more.

"Now by giving up 1000 life points, my Chaos Emperor Dragon destroys every card on the field, including himself, and sends them to the graveyard along with every card in our hands, and for each card, you take 300 points of damage. I have five cards in my hand plus my Chaos Emperor Dragon on the field, that's six card, you have one monster on the field and one card in your hand, that's two, the total amount cards destroyed will be eight, meaning you will take 2400 points of damage". Jaden LP: 2400-1400

Abidos looked horrified as Chaos Emperor Dragon opened his mouth and let out an intense stream of fire which caused everyone to try and shield themselves. Jaden looked at the Chaos Emperor Dragon and it growled, saying it remembered their deal, he then controlled his flames so they wouldn't reach Jaden's friends or do any serious damage to Abidos or his servants either.

Then both Spirit of the Pharaoh and the Chaos Emperor Dragon himself got sent to the grave, along with every card in the players hands, Abidos LP: 2200-0.

Jaden smiled and did his signature pose, "That's game, and a sweet one too, you got moves", Alexis smiled, "Yeah but not like Jaden's", Chazz looked at Jaden, "I can't believe the slacker brought out that dragon since his power is too unfair for the opponent". Syrus was more focusing on the opponent, "Hey guys, Abidos doesn't look too hot".

Jaden walked over to Abidos who had sunk down on the ground, "Hey, what's the matter?" Abidos looked at Jaden, "I used to think I was the greatest duelist of all time, but now I know…" he got a smile on his face, "I need a lot of practice if I want to be a true dueling legend". Jaden smiled at him and nodded, "That's the spirit". Abidos stood up.

He looked at Jaden, "Jaden, I have a favor to ask of you", Jaden looked at him confused, he walked over to Jaden and held one of Jaden's hands with both of his, "Jaden, you could come back with me". Jaden looked at him shocked, shocking both Jaden's friends and Abidos's servants as well.

"You're too good for this place, listen come back to my Kingdom and I promise you, power and fame", Jaden looked a little troubled, "Well it does sound like a nice offer".

Syrus was freaking out, "Jaden wait, you can't leave us", lexis felt the same thing, but this as Jaden's decision to make, she just hoped that he wouldn't go back with Abidos.

Jaden then pulled his hand out of Abidos's hands, he smiled at him, "The offer really do sound nice and I do appreciate it, but I can't leave, I have my family, my friends and my girlfriend to think about, but if you ever around again, let us duel again, since I like to have a rematch".

Abidos smiled back at him, "Same with you, that is… if you ever find a time vortex warping wormhole, he then shook his head, "Or… you know I'll just call you".

He then let them off his ship with a final farewell before the ship ascended up and then vanished in the clouds , the group then started walking away, "You know… Abidos wasn't such a bad guy, I mean, hey look what he gave me". He spun the headband Shadow Charm Abidos had given him.

He then smiled, "I'm starting to get quite the collection, but where's the Shadow Rider with a skateboard", he joked, Chazz growled a little, "I don't get why Jaden's getting all the cool stuff".

Jaden looked over his shoulder at him, "Probably because I beat a dueling legend Chazz", Chazz looked irritated, "Oh so now he's a legend? Because you beat him? No he's not, and it doesn't matter that you could have beaten him without the Chaos Emperor Dragon", Jaden smiled, he had told them that he could have summoned Vortex Fang if he wanted to when they asked if summoning the Chaos Emperor Dragon was the only move he could make at that moment.

Syrus looked at Chazz with a smile, "Well actually Chazz, that's what all the history books say that he is, right?" Syrus got scared when Chazz turned around with really angry look on his face while Zane and Alexis looked at each other amused, "WELL WE KNOW THE TRUTH! He was a sham, a fake", Jaden laughed, "Jaden the legend slayer, I like the sound of that".

At the same time so was banner looking down on the group from the top of a hill, "Good Jaden for soon, you will get the chance to truly earn it, soon you will face… your true test". He then smiled mysteriously.

So Jaden fought against the next Shadow Rider, the undefeated ancient Pharaoh Abidos, but as it turned out Abidos had never truly won any of his matches as his servants let him win. He then through Jaden's encouragement continued dueling for real this time and managed to put up a good fight, but Jaden then ended the match with the Chaos Emperor Dragon. Abidos suggested that Jaden should come with him, but Jaden declined since he had too many he cared about here, but hoped to duel Abidos again someday. Then an argument about Abidos's fake status legend, while Banner watched them from a hill and said that the true test for Jaden would soon begin, what does he mean by that and what will happen next?
