Disclaimer: These things get annoying but I don't want to be sued

So I'll quickly say I don't own GX for the twenty eighth time

Ra I swear these things ruin my mood

Now let's get things rolling with a chapter of mine

Author's Note: I'm mixing manga with anime…sorry but I want to….

~.x.X.x.~

"He won!" Morganna gasped. "Ryou actually beat Ashton!" Her mouth twisted in shock. 'The next round might actually be a good one after all. But first of all I need to take care of Isamu.'

The audience erupted into a chorus of similar surprise. "No way, that was amazing. I knew he was good, but that good? Awesome!"

Ryou broke out in a sweat as he fell backwards. "Hahahahahahahaha!" He laughed hysterically.

"Umm, are you okay Ryou?" Nayuta asked as she stepped forward.

"Hahaha."

"I'll take that as a no."

. . .

Birds happily chirped as they flew through cheery blue skies.

Emi and Eirin gazed helplessly into each other's eyes. They did not approve of the birds' happiness. Emi scowled when she heard the joyful noise.

"Are you sure this information is accurate?" The lunatic princess asked.

Emi nodded. "Yes, I know it's hard to believe. But this is exactly what the Organization plans to do."

"This is bad," Eirin sighed. "But if they're meeting at the abandoned dorm right now, I guess we better pay them a visit."

"We can't let them summon a Duel Spirit now. It'll wreak too much havoc and cause mass panic." Emi turned and marched away. Eirin followed.

- - -

"Y-you can't stop us now! Our plan's already in effect. While the tournament is going on, all the students are distracted, a few members of the Organization will be busy summoning a Duel Spirit to terrorize the campus," a young brown haired Obelisk First Year quaked in fear as Emi stood over him. "It's all part of our plan.'

- - -

"So the Organization really likes messing with people's heads huh?" Eirin inquired. "It's hard to believe that losing a single duel to them can be so devastating."

"Yeah, dueling is such an important part of our society that some people say you won't be able to get anywhere in life if you can't duel. For most of us, dueling is our everything. If you lose a duel you lose hope, you can start to feel worthless. The Organization thrives on those feelings of inferiority. They plant it in others, they watch the crops grow, and then they reap their rewards."

They ventured deep through the forest. The thick treetops filtered out most of the sunlight leaving only stray strands to illuminate the path.

"Well, we're here," Eirin noted. She looked at the abandoned dorm.

Its dusty walls dared them to enter. The door yawned open slowly, nonchalantly inviting them in to their fate.

. . .

A man with multi-colored hair sat at a table eating a bowl of ramen noodles. Blonde hair framed his head while red bordered black on his head. He wore a black sleeveless shirt and black jeans.

"We should have met at a burger shop," he complained to the man at his side.

The other man gave a scowl as he shifted his gaze from the food to the first man. "Quit whining. Do you think I'm enjoying it here? I'm the CEO of one of the largest companies in the world. I have the finest chefs in all of Japan serving me on my staff and you ask me to meet you here for lunch. We should have met at my house."

"Let time I went there your little brother tried to poison me.*" Yugi pointed out.

"How many times are you going to make me apologize?**" Kaiba complained.

"Hello, Yugi, Kaiba, where is everyone else?" Ryou Bakura interrupted.

"Ryou I didn't see you there," Yugi apologized. "How are you?"

"I'm fine; I'm wondering where everyone else is." He lied. 'No need to tell them about you just yet.'

Yugi took a sip of water before answering. "Rebecca's busy researching the effects of Synchro Monsters on the Metagame in different countries. Right now, she's in France. She said she wanted to come but couldn't make it. Jonouchi and Mai are taking their kids to Disneyland in America," he took a moment to catch his breath.

"Mokuba's off at a Capmon tournament," Kaiba explained.

"Ryuji's at a DDM tournament that happens to be going on at the same time," Yugi noted. "It's kind of funny really. Honda just got married and he's off on his honeymoon."

"Bloody Hell am I out of the loop. Honda got married!" Ryou Bakura exclaimed. "Who?"

"Miho Nosaka," Yugi answered.

"Who?"

"Ribbon."

"Who?"

"She's a girl we used to be friends with. Then one day she abruptly vanished from our lives. She had a major crush on you. She played Monster World with us."

"Who?"

"You can probably just look her up." Yugi moved on. "Anyway, Anzu is starring in a Broadway musical. I think it was called Duel of Justice or something. I think that covers everyone."

As Yuu listened, he could barely maintain his silence. 'Get to the good part already. Why are you three meeting?'

Kaiba smiled. "Thanks for coming, you two," it didn't sound very sincere. "I wanted to discuss something very important with you both. The Duel Academy Twilight Festival."

. . .

Nayuta watched over Ryou as he sat in a comfortable red couch in the hallway. "They saod they'd put off the next duel until you're feeling better. So the audience is taking another break. Are you feeling better?"

"A little, haha," Ryou erupted into a fit of giggles. "Where is Hikaru?"

"She said she's sorry to leave but she wanted to check on Naota." Nayuta sat next to Ryou, sinking into the couch. "Want a snack? I couldn't finish this," she offered her friend a chocolate granola bar.

The smell of chocolate tempted Ryou until he caved in. "Thanks Nayuta."

. . .

Sammy sobbed into his hands as he drew his knees close to his body. "I can't take it anymore. The duels aren't fun anymore. I'm so busy I don't even have time to play with you."

Robert offered a smile. "Don't worry, things will get better soon." He activated his Duel Disk. "Why don't we duel right here, right now?"

"I don't want to, achoo," the drifting dust tickled his nose and made Sammy sneeze. "It's pointless." He wiped his runny nose with his sleeve.

Darkness crowded the room of the abandoned dorm. Thin strips of light shot through slits in the window but died without any accomplishments. They fell into the corner, revealing nothing.

Knock! Knock!

"Open the damn door or I swear to Kaguya I will break it down."

"Shit, it's the Lunatic Princess!" Robert panicked.

"Yeah and I brought a friend with me," Eirin called back. With a swift kick, she knocked the door over. It creaked slowly as it fell in.

"What are you doing here?" Robert demanded.

"It is not us who should answer that question," Emi countered. Her cape billowed in the wind. "For you are the ones wishing to spread despair to the hearts of others. For that, I cannot forgive you. Now let us through so we can stop the ritual."

"Sorry," Robert growled. "We were instructed to stop anyone who got in the way, so let's duel!"

"I-I'll duel too!" Sammy said as he dried his eyes. "I'll take on the Lunatic Princess, you duel Emi."

Robert drew five cards.

"DUEL!" The four shouted.

Robert: 4000

Emi: 4000

Sammy: 4000

Eirin: 4000

"I summon Luckless Rabbit," Robert narrated as his bunny materialized.

"So we both flip a coin. We take 1000 damage if it's wrong. I call heads."

"I call tails," Robert said in spite. Both coins landed on heads, dealing the duelist 1000 points of effect damage. "I play two facedowns and end my turn!"

Robert: 3000

The field transformed to Eirin's battleground.

Sammy drew his sixth card. "Sorry Eirin, but I can't let you pass. Everybody I counting on me!" His eyes shed tears of desperation. "I summon Undeat Gumo in attack mode." (2200/0) A black and green spider with rotting flesh burst forth from the ground. "As you know, most Level 4 monsters with this much attack have a downside, but Undeat Gumo's. He also comes with a powerful effect. Once per turn he can revive a Zombie from the grave. If I use this ability then I flip a coin."

"Let me guess, you lose half your Life Point's if you call it wrong," Eirin ventured.

"Correct. Now, I need to use this ability or he can't attack." The boy continued. "But that's okay because the Special Summoned monster gets to attack that turn and usually helps to even the scores out even if I call the coin wrong."

"Still seems a little unfair to me. It seems like too small a price to pay for both revival and a high attack." Eirin waited for Sammy's move.

"I play Graceful Charity to draw three cards and discard two. "Next, I play every Zombie users favorite way to draw. Go, Card of Safe Return! Now I'll use my spider to revive the monster I just discarded! Come on out, Zombie Murder Force!" (2100/0) Three zombies with rotting flesh and tattered jeans appeared on the field. A coin flipped through the air. "I predict tails," Sammy said.

The coin obeyed his prayer.

"Now my Card of Safe return let's me draw." Sammy smiled. "And I activate Undeat Massacre! This card let's me raise a zombie from the grave so long as it doesn't activate attack this turn. So I'll bring out Zombie Master!" (1800/0)

Eirin smirked. "Draw your card if you really think it will help."

Sammy angrily tore his next card from his deck. "I release Undeat Gumo and Zombie Murder Force to Special Summon the Puppeteer of the Dammed." (0/0) A creepy puppet made of rotting wood slowly rose from the ground. It had blonde hair and a single red eye. It wore a white vest over a blue shirt and matching blue shorts.

"Once per turn I can revive a Zombie from the grave. That Zombie's attack becomes 0 until my next standby phase and his effect is negated until then as well. My Puppeteer, however, gains that Zombie's attack until the end phase of this turn."

The puppeteer began playing with what looked like a wooden puppet shaped like Zombie Murder Force. Suddenly, that very card burst forth from the ground, and Sammy drew a card. (0/0)

Eirin tapped her foot impatiently. "Next I use Zombie Master's effect. By discarding a monster from my hand, I may revive a level 4 or lower Zombie. So, I discard one to bring back Undeat Gumo (2200/0) and draw a card. Next I activate his effect to bring back the Zombie I discarded, and draw another card." A zombie with an axe in both hands quickly jumped up from the earth. "Say hello to Zombie Homocide!" (1700/0) "I set three cards face down and I end my turn and let his effect activate. During my endphase you take 300 damage per Zombie I control."

Zombie Homocide jumped forward and slashed at Eirin with his axe.

Eirin: 2500

Eirin smiled. "Are you read for the lunacy? My One Turn Kill begins now! I summon Lunarian Vampire!" (1300/1700) "She's a beautiful pale skinned vampire with long black hair and an elegant red dress. What more could a person ask for? Well her effect for starters. As long as she has no phase counters on her, she reduces the attack and defense of all non Lunarians by 300. The all those points go to her." (2800/3200) She licked the long black scythe gripped in her hands.

"No, no way!" Sammy gasped as the monster's attack soared.

"Next I activate Shield and Sword, flipping each monster's attack and defense!"

"No way, all my Zombies have 0 Defense."

"And that brings my Vampire to 3200 attack. Not quite enough to destroy you just yet. Until I activate Lunatic Dance Shuffle! This reduces the attack of one Lunarian by 1000 and lets me discard any number of spells to let the Lunarian attack that many monsters. So I get rid of the three Spells in my hand to let her attack three monsters!"

Lunatic Vampire bounded forward and swirled her scythe through the air. Her hypnotic spinning tore the Zombies to shreds.

Sammy: 0

Emi drew hr card. "I will now demonstrate to you why I am sometimes known as the Shinigami of the Cards. I play the Spell Card Vanishing Light! This card forces us to both to discard a Light type monster in our hand. If you don't have a light type monster, you must discard your entire hand and draw four cards." Emi slipped a card in the grave.

"I hate this spell," Robert moaned as he threw his hand away and drew four new cards. "Next I activate Breaking Light! This card let's me Special Summon a light type monster in my grave. The downside is that you have to special summon one as well. So I bring back my Chronocide Angel!" (0/0)

A beautiful armored angel rose from a beam of light.

"I summon Gambling Honey!" (1700/700) A blonde in a black dress appeared. "When she appears on the field I can remove from play the top card of my deck and put it face down. When you activate a spell or trap or summon a monster, I reveal that card to both of us. If it's the same type as the card you just played, I gain 1000 Life Points and add it to my hand. If not, I take 500 damage and send it to the grave." Robert removed the next card.

"I activate Inferno reckless Summon, bringing two more Chronocide Angels out."(0/0)

"Dammit, I only have one Honey!" Robert complained.

Emi just have an awkward half smirk as she narrowed one of her eyes. "I use Pot of Greed to draw two more cards!"

Robert revealed his card, "Dammit, it's my second Rabbit. So I take 500 damage."

Robert: 3500

"Now I activate Chronocide Angel's first effect. I can discard any number of Spells from my hand to increase her attack by 1000 for each. So I get rid of the three Spells in my hand to raise one Chronocide Angel's attack by 3000."

The middle angel suddenly grew a lot brighter. "Now, I hate using such a cruel effect, but what must be done, must be done. I use her second effect; releasing one Light Type monster I control to raise her attack by a further 500." (3500/0) Emi pointed to her other Angel. "Now I shall allow my second Chronocide Angel to use her third effect. I can release a Chronocide Angel and select a Light-Fairy monster on the field with an original attack equal to or less than the released Angel's current attack. The wording might be odd, but it allows these angels to work well together. So by releasing one Chronocide Angel the other can attack you directly! Go, Mugen Death Flare!"

A giant beam of light fell on Robert from above.

Robert: 0

Robert fell to his knees. Emi and Eirin didn't even bother looking back.

. . .

Ryou smiled. "I feel better now, thanks," Ryou told Nayuta.

"Well then, I suppose we should head back to the dome and let everyone know." Ashton responded.

"Yeah, everyone's waiting for Isamu vs. Morganna. They all know what she's capable of, but Isamu lost before he had much of a chance to show off. Honestly I'm cheering for him to win." The girl pouted.

"Still feeling upset that you lost?" Ashton asked.

"I can't believe I lost to a brat like her, it makes me so angry!"

The trio walking toward the Duel Dome arena.

Isamu watched with a smirk. 'I hope I can beat Morganna so I can duel him in the next round, he looks like a fun opponent.'

Morganna ignored Isamu's confident gaze. 'I simply need to beat him and move on. I just hope that kid doesn't have any tricks up his sleeve. I need to win this tournament.'

. . .

Two duelists tapped their feet as Emi and Eirin ran toward them. "Looks like those two weren't enough to stop you. But don't worry, we will be." He wore an Obelisk blue uniform and had messy brown hair.

"So, Adlai, how about you take on Eirin while I crush Emi?" Suggested the girl. She wore a Ra Yellow uniform and had long blonde hair with bangs that split onto opposite sides of her head."

"Sure, Jahel." Adlai agreed.

"Let's duel!"

Emi: 4000

Eirin: 4000

Adlai: 4000

Jahel: 4000

Eirin's lunar Duel Disk kicked into gear. "Sorry Adlai, but we don't have the time to fool around. I activate Stone Begging Bowl of Buddha." The stone bowl span around before her. "Now I get to puck up cards whenever I take damage outside of battle. Next I activate Tremendous Fire. You take 1000 Damage and I take 500!"

Adlai: 3000

Eirin: 3500

Eirin followed up with her Bowl's effect. "Look, my next card is Moonlight Ribbon. Both layers take 300 damage when this card is activated. Then afterward, we both get to Special Summon a Level 4 or Dark Monster from our hand, if we have any."

Adlai: 2700

Eirin: 3200

"I don't have any Dark Monsters, you?"

"I summon The Thirteenth Grave in attack mode." (1200/900) Adlai said as his skeleton appeared.

"Now I get to draw and reveal the next card of my deck." Eirin showed a trap card. "I don't want it so I'll discard it. Or perhaps I just want it there in my grave? I activate the Spell Card Trapped Again. I can choose one Trap in my graveyard and set it on the field. I'll set another card and now I end my turn." Eirin smiled. 'When I activate a Trap set by my Spell, I take 1000 damage It'll let me use the Bowl again.'

'That card was a Magic Cylinder, so I better be careful.' Thought Adlai. "I normal summon Ancient Brain!" (1000/700) The card looked like a brown bearded fiend with a large brain resting on his head. Purple wings folded against its back. "I activate the Spell Card All Consuming Darkness! I can Special Summon a Fusion monster by removing from play Dark Monsters on my side of the field! So I fuse my two monsters to bring out Ancient Archfiend- Nightlance!" (1900/700) This card looked like a skeleton with purple wings and Ancient Brain's brain. He carried a pointy black lance. "Since I summoned him with All Consuming Darkness, I get to remove from play a Dark Monster in my hand. Then the Fusion Monster gains its attack until the endphase!" Nightlance's attack shot up to 4200. "Next I Special Summon the monster Dark Aura!" (1900/300) A black haired miko took a stand. "She can only be Special Summoned if I have three to five Dark Monsters removed from play." Adlai reached for his next card. "Dimension Fusion! I pay 2000 Life Points and we both get to Special Summon as many removed from play monsters as possible."

Adlai watched as his three removed monsters returned.

Adlai: 700

"I activate Just Desserts." Eirin announced. "This card deals you 500 damage per monster on your field!"

Adlai: 0

"Da-dammit! No!"

Emi waited for her opponent to make his first move.

"I won't lose," Jahel vowed.

"I set two cards facedown and end my turn," Emi said quickly.

"I summon Gene Warped Warwolf!" Jahel said with a smile. "Next I activate the Spell Card, Warwolf's Fangs!"

"Warwoild again? Does everyone have that card" Eirin moaned.

"I activate Ring of Destruction. I attach it to your wolf and blow it up, we both take 2000 damage, but then I chain Barrel Behind the Door to negate the 2000 damage I take and give it to you."

Jahel: 0

"T-that's not even fair," Jahel said as she slumped to the ground.

Eirin and Emi moved on.

. . .

Doki doki! Doki doki!

Isamu's heart pounded.

Mr. Ayanami took the mike once more. "Let the final match of the semi-finals begin!"

. . .

* Actual event in the manga.

** I made this up. Kaiba never apologized for any of his or Mokuba's attempts to murder Yugi and his friends. Wait, no, I think he might have faked it once. Kaiba is actually pretty damn good at pretending to be nice.

Anyway let me know if you want me to explain the Undeat joke. ^^

Well time for more author's notes.

1) I apologize if Chronocide is too strong. I mean, it does have a ton of effects. It's Level 8 though, in case you're wondering.

2) Undeat Gumo- Yeah…let's just assume it's one of the cards sealed away by I2.

3) Sorry for all the curbstomp duels. I know one back and forth duel os more entertaining than ten curb stomp duels, but occasionally I need to show off a character's abilities. Anyway this was all supposed to lead into the main duel of Isamu versus Morganna but it went overboard without me realizing it.

4) Next chapter should focus on Isamu vs. Morganna then Eirin and Emi each get a duel.
