I'm back, baby! Let's get to that new chapter, shall we? Shorter than I what I'd normally do, but I really need to get cracking plus something bigger happens in this side of the arc.

Chapter 29: Wrath of the Viper Woman
"AAAAHHHH!"
That was the scream of Lyra Raines falling to the ground, after being defeated by Ileana Viper. Lyra had woken up and found that Jethro never reported back, so she got dressed and took her duel disk to track down any suspicious activity. Soon enough, she was found by Ileana who had trapped her within a duel. She left in pain from how the Reptilliane Duelist attack with her monster and somehow was able to inflict real damage, like how Jethro suffered in an earlier duel.
The female Viper laughed as she took Lyra's Duel Disk and left her defeated and barely conscious.
"Another prize that I've obtained," Ileana spoken, more to herself, "And I think I'll let the little one tell how she was defeated by one with more than enough skill. Such a surprise that her monsters only handicap required what all people need... a helping hand... Sadly, when she has one she's no longer a threat." She then leaned down and grasped the Goth's face with her hand, "Bring the others to me dear; I want them to find me... once all of them are down and out, I will have enough to tell the world what Duel Academy hides... and I will have revenge for my family..."
With that, she left through the forest to leave Lyra panting and tired, snarling at the loss of the duel and her duel disk.
Back at the Obelisk Dorm, Jethro and Lyra were being tended to by the rest of the resistance as they were only able to open their eyes. After Lyra failed to report in, the rest of the duelists found them and brought back to recover. Needless to say, Kaiba was not happy about the turn of events.
"Man, she really did a number," Bradshaw stated.
"No kidding," Jethro groaned, "And she even took my deck and duel disk... She'll get hers soon enough..."
"Well, without our decks, we can't hope to beat her," Lyra noted. "Apparently, this Venom member's smarter than we thought. No deck means we lose most of our force..."
"But what does she have to gain by taking them?" Kairi asked. "I mean, first Venom wants them destroyed, now they take them along with our decks?"
"Remember, Venom wants to exploit all of Duel Academy's shortcomings," Aster explained, "And not just the obvious that the main building's gone. With all that information gone, we're sunk."
"Hell, even Duel Monsters will be seen as too dangerous to play if they think it would lead to something like this," Masaki added.
Allen was too busy staring out at the window, looking out at the view, 'I can't believe what she's done; not only she's evading us, but hurting Lyra and Jethro... It's not right! She wants to "save" Duel Academy, yet we're in hurt because of this...'
"And then Kaiba's not caring about our well-being," Kairi scoffed. "He's forgetting that we're the only ones left to fight, because everyone else is still trying to recover."
"It's a business thing," Aster waved off, "We're the investments, and right now, it's not worth it for us to lose."
"Well, if anything," Masaki added, "He could do the damage..."
"But that's what she's expecting," Jethro figured, "She thinks Kaiba knows about all the stuff like the Shadow Realm, when in reality he doesn't believe in it, even when he's near the heart of the problem."
"He'll be a believer," Lyra noted. "He can't keep this in his head too much."
"If we can just corner, or catch on to her strategy..." Aster mused
"But she knows ours," Jethro interjected, "It's how she beat me and Lyra so easily... knew exactly how to keep us from stepping up our game... I couldn't use any Synchros to go my way, and my old monsters weren't enough."
"And she kept exploiting my handless combo, by making me draw," Lyra added. "Right when I could use those effects, she had cards that made me draw... taunted me..." She then grumbled, "And she even said that she was getting revenge for her family."
Everyone looked thoughtful for a moment, "You think she had children that lived in the Abandoned Dorm or something?" Bradsaw wondered.
"Don't know." Lyra asked. "If that was the case, she would have a good alibi. Yet, she would still come after this place and hurt anyone in the process."
"Well, she has another thing coming," Allen grumbled as he walked out of the room and with his duel disk active. It surprised everyone on how straightforward he was.
"Somebody better stop him," Masaki said worriedly, "It'll be that thinking that corners him into a trap with that crazy chick out there..."
Aster then thought as he saw where Allen was standing, 'Maybe this is just the break we needed... After all, she was able to take on us one by one because SHE got the drop on us...' With that in mind, Aster followed after Allen before anyone could notice.
Meanwhile, Kaiba was at an office inside the Obelisk Dorm trying to figure out who is attacking them, 'Venom's been illusive in their tactics to destroy businesses...' He thought, checking out things on his laptop computer, 'Right now, everything's good back home with Mokuba running things and nothing is getting by security there. But what's the connection? Two times this duelist Ileana has been able to avoid detection and take down two of my students. I've keep track of the duels and I saw Cartwright's and Raines' cards, but not their opponent...' He then smirked, 'When I'm able to find out what cards she uses and her family background... she won't have a leg to stand on, much less of an organization...'
In the forest, Allen stormed across the field of trees and looked around for the invader. But instead of just waiting around like the others did, Allen had done the unthinkable...
"Hey Venom woman!"
He called her out...
"You're still trying to destroy Duel Academy and Kaiba Corp.?" He shouted as he activated his duel disk, "Then lets duel right now and I'll make sure to leave you broken down like tried to do my friends!"
Then, he heard a feminine laughter come from the trees.
"How cute..." She sighed, "Did hurting your friends cause you to lose out on your happiness, little angel?"
"Save it," Allen shouted. "I told you to get out here and duel me! My monsters will destroy your snakes and I'll get my friends' cards and disks back!"
"Do you really think your goal of avenging your friends will help you defeat me? Your anger has been destroying you ever since I defeated Miss Raines. However, my anger is justified as Duel Academy took my husband from me!"
Allen narrowed his eyes, "And who is that?"
That was when Ileana decided to show herself and had her disk activated, "Maybe I could tell you if you can beat me..."
"Deal..." the Vylon duelist nodded as both players drew their five-card hands.
Ileana: 8000
Allen: 8000
"Since you issued the challenge, I shall start," Ileana announced, drawing her sixth card, "I'll just have three cards on the field and keep you guessing..." She declared, placing a Set monster and two cards behind it.
"My turn then," Allen declared, drawing his sixth card, "I'll summon my Vylon Soldier in attack mode!" He announced as metallic, angelic warrior appeared from a pillar of light. (4/1700/1000) "Next, I equip him with two Equip Spells: Vylon Segment and Vylon Filament!" Attached to the Soldier's right arm was a giant, yellow tuning fork with a white, web-like funnel on top. Then, both arms became attached to yellow armguards that sparked with pink and green electricity.
"You're trying too hard, child," Ileana smiled, "Nothing you do will sate the anger as your monster will not be able to touch mine... and the moment you attack, your precious monster will be at my mercy!"
"Then, I'll attack and see what you have in store for me!" the Vylon Duelist shouted as his monster charged in towards the facedown card, "And when my Soldier attacks, it switches your monster to attack mode since he's Equipped!" The light from the Vylon shined on Ileana's monster, revealing it to be a green tortoise staring down its attacker. (4/0/2000) "And if you think you're using the facedown cards to trip me up, my Equip cards prevent them from activating. Not only that, but you can't target him as well!"
The Reptilliane duelist growled as her monster was demolished by electricity.
Ileana: 6300
Allen: 8000
"Because of your attack, my Guardna's effect activates," Ileana growled, taking a card from her deck, "I obtain Gorgon from my deck and add it to my hand."
"I end my turn by activating Vylon Element," Allen concluding, inserting his continuous Spell Card.
"It's my turn," Ileana announced, drawing her next card, "I activate my facedown card, Call of the Haunted to revive Guardna!" She declared as one of her facedown cards, revealed the famed Trap card. It shined white and let the green tortoise walk out of the image. (4/0/2000) "And since your Spells will hinder me, I'll use my second facedown card, Offerings to the Snake Deity!" The facedown card revealed Vennominon using himself for a sacrifice, "With it, I destroy my Reptile monster and destroy Vylon Segment and Vylon Filament!" Guardna soon erupted into flames and then lunged at Vylon Soldier, tearing apart its weaponry in the process. "And because of its destruction, I can add another Reptilliane monster to my hand..."
"And I can get two Vylon Equip Cards from my Spell Cards getting destroyed," Allen announced, causing Ileana to gasp as her opponent collected his choice cards, "And then the effect of Vylon Element activates; when Equip Cards are destroyed, I can Special Summon my Tuner monsters, Vylon Prism and Vylon Tetra!"
Along with the shield-like monster, a white and gold triangular prism had emerged from the same light pillar that spawned Prism. It then opened up to create two arms on its side, and a small face with red eyes. (4/1500/1500), (2/900/900)
"Well, I'll take out one of your threats immediately with my Reptillane Gorgon in attack mode," the Venom leader announced, placing her card on the field. (3/1400/1400) Venomous green energy flashed before her, coalescing into a hideous woman, with the trunk of a snake, scales forming her skin, three serpent heads crowning her skull through her hair. A dark purple dress coated her body down to her waist, and her pale yellow eyes glared at Allen as she gave a serpentine hiss (3/1400/1400).
'Despite having the ability to make monsters' ATK drop to zero,' Allen thought, 'She's got to have something to protect her monster.'
"I equip Reptilianne Gorgon with two Equip Spells, Molting Escape and Reptilianne Rage!" Ileana continued, throwing the cards into her Disk. "Molting Escape prevents an equipped Reptile-Type from being destroyed in battle once per turn, and grants it 300 more attack points each time it's saved by that effect, while Reptilianne Rage grants my monster 800 more points!" Reptilianne Gorgon glowed with venomous energy. (3/1400-2200/1400) "And then, I'll attack your Vylon Soldier!"
Gorgon hissed as she fired purple lasers from her snake hair, stunning the Vylon monster and turning it to stone. Then, Gorgon lunged at the stone monster and shattered it to pixels with a tackle.
Ileana: 6300
Allen: 7500
"And then with two facedown cards with end this move," She concluded as a facedown card appeared in front of her feet. "See, I'm not the only one to excel at Equip Spell usage with my monsters."
"You're about to find out how great I am at exploiting them," Allen growled, drawing his next card, "I activate my Spell Shattering Arrow, destroying all of your Spell Cards and dealing 500 points of damage!" As soon as he inserted the card, numerous arrows shot from the holo-image and pierced the Gorgon into submission, taking her venomous energy away. (3/2200-1400/1400)
Ileana: 5300
Allen: 7500
"Well, I can use my Reptilliane Rage's other effect," Ileana hissed, "I can drain your Tetra of 800 ATK!" Tetra sparked with purple energy, causing it to lower itself to the ground (2/900-100/900)
"Doesn't matter because I summon Vylon Hept to the field," the Vylon duelist countered, bringing out the heavy armored angel/machine. (4/1800/1000) "And then with Prism, I'll create a Synchro Summoning!" He announced as Prism brightened up and became 4 Tuning Gates, surrounding Hept to become 4 stars and all erupting into a light pillar
"Heavens grant us the strength to fight and defeat our oppressors! Synchro Summon, Light vast, Vylon Epsilon!"
Cracks ran up the pillar, before it exploded into shards which fell and broke on the ground, revealing the cybernetic angelic monster that defeated Cryer's Iron Chain deck. (8/2800/1200)
"Next, I pay 500 Life Points to revive Prism as an Equip Card," Prism had emerged from the graveyard again and then became a shield that latched onto Epsilon's arm.
Ileana: 5300
Allen: 7000
"And then, I'll activate Light-Imprisoning Mirror to negate the effects of your LIGHT monsters when activated on the field and in the graveyard," Ileana smirked as she revealed her facedown card. It depicted an ancient Egyptian mirror that absorbed several streams of light energy. "I know of your Epsilon's ability to destroy a monster if an Equip Spell is sacrifices, and I rather not have that happen..."
"Fine, then I'll destroy Gorgon while she's out," Allen announced, "And with Prism, it's an attack that's 1000 points stronger! And because he's an Equip Card, the Mirror doesn't work!" Epsilon had absorbed the light energy from its Shield. It then spread out its wings and fired a massive beam that extinguished the Gorgon and caused Ileana to drop to the ground.
Ileana: 2900
Allen: 7000
But despite the loss of her monster, Ileana laughed as she looked up with a wicked grin on her face. "All you did was made your monster weak enough for me to destroy!" Allen gasped as he saw Epsilon stiffen up and then turned to stone. (8/3800-0/1200) "See what happens with your misplaced anger, boy!?"
"Damn..." Allen muttered as he inserted a facedown card and switched Tetra into defense mode, "I'm done..."
"As you should be," the Venom leader smirked as she drew her next card. "First, I activate Card of Demise!" She announced, drawing until she reached five cards, "Next, I summon my Witch's Apprentice in attack mode!" Allen looked at her confusingly as he heard the name of a non-Reptilliane monster. He saw a red-headed woman wearing a blue witch's hat and robe while sitting side-saddle on a broom. (2/550/500) Seeing the boy's look made Ileana giggle, "This monster benefits my DARK monsters but destroys any chance of your LIGHT monsters as mine gains 500 ATK and yours loses 400. But the only one to suffer is Tetra!"
Allen watched with horror as he saw Tetra fall to the ground and saw the Witch's Apprentice cackle. (2/550-1050/500), (2/100-0/900)
"And then, because you have two monsters with 0 ATK, I can sacrifice them both to summon my Reptilliane Vaskii, one of the strongest of my monsters!"
"WHAT!?" Allen shouted as both of his monsters turned to stone and then into dust. Emerging from the dust, a ten-foot-tall monster appeared. She was a young, beautiful woman with milk-white skin. She had four arms, one of which held a lotus flower, and below the hips she had the body of a monstrous serpent. Vaskii wore a regal purple and gold shirt which clung to her curvy figure tightly, a golden crown adorned with a cobra placed lightly atop her head (8/2600-3100/0)
Ileana: 2900
Allen: 2850
"I activate my facedown card, Damage Gate to revive my Epsilon!" Allen announced, revealing his facedown card and bringing back his giant monster. (8/2800/2100)
"And now the final touch," Ileana shouted as she revealed her facedown card, "I'll activate a special trap card that will serve as the final blow to your heart! Cursed Prison!"
Allen looked confused again as a cage of black iron appeared beside Vaskii, "I never heard of this card..."
"It's one of a kind," Ileana smirked, "A card that I was able to obtain through means of my Venom... with it, I can special summon a monster from my Extra Deck and then summon it inside this cage. And it'll hurt you so much as to see who is inside..."
Soon, a form materialized into the cage... a familiar form... which made Allen gasp and then livid with anger...
It was Infernity Umbra Witch! Bound inside the cage by chains (8/2900/2400)
"That's Lyra's monster," Allen spat angrily, "You give it back now, you vile snake!"
"Oh," Ileana gasped as she covered her mouth with her hand before giggling, "I knew it would do the trick to send you to the breaking point... and now to send your anger, your pride, and your heart spiraling into the depths of my venom..." She then played one more card from her hand, "Shatterheart! When a Synchro Monster has been introduced to the field, I can instantly destroy it and deal damage equal to its ATK at the cost of taking damage from a monster you control!"
Suddenly, the Cursed Prison started to spark with energy that started to cause immense pain to the Umbra Witch and made her scream in pain. Instead of being worried however, it only caused Allen to get even angrier due to the fact that he was about to lose and that it was a monster that was stolen from his friend that was about to do the damage. With nothing else left to do, Cursed Prison exploding into a sea of flames that blew back the Obelisk into a tree and knocked him out cold.
Ileana: 100, Winner
Allen: 0
The holographic sea of flames had ended once Ileana shut off her duel disk, and even then she was walking towards Allen with a wicked grin.
"It's so easy to break apart those who have no business being angry at all," Ileana smirked as she used her index finger to lift Allen's chin up, "Poor dear, you would have won if you had the foresight of taking out my Gorgon without a battle. But I think seeing a monster belonging to friend would have broken you down still..." She then eyed Allen's disk, "But for now, I'll take this disk and be on my..."
"Not so fast, lady!"
Ileana snapped her head to the left and saw a strange-looking monster that was wearing a black caped over his high-collared suit. He had large claws and a white head with red eyes. Seeing this monster, caused the woman to jump back when the monster tried to slash at her with its claws. She narrowed her eyes at the monster, before it vanished with a person standing its place.
"Did you like the show?" It was Aster Phoenix, "I once did some stuff like this with criminals and had to deal them some justice." He then shrugged, "Never thought I would be doing it again..."
Ileana frowned, "Pretty childish of a Pro League duelist like you..."
"Well, I am pretty young," Aster smirked as he ran a hand through his hair, "Thought I would look 'old' if I had the wrinkles to go with this hair of mine... but hey, the joys of youth..." He then put on a serious look, "And with what you were doing to my classmate here, I can't let you live that down..."
The Venom leader sneered, 'I didn't think I would have to deal with another one so close to winning... but I can make due since I know about the Vision Heroes enough to shut them down...' She then raised her duel disk arm and activated it, "Then, I think you would try to take me down after I done away with Allen..."
"You would think correct," He replied as both players reshuffled their decks and then inserted them into their disks. Once they drew five cards...
DUEL!
Ileana: 8000
Aster: 8000
"I'll begin the battle," Ileana announced, drawing her sixth card, "I start with the One for One Spell, letting me send a Venom Cobra from my hand to the graveyard and Special Summon the Reptilliane Servant from my deck," After she sent her monster to the graveyard, a large, black with red striped snake with two arms appeared in front of her. (1/100/100) "With this card out, none of us can summon anymore monsters to the field."
Aster narrowed his eyes, 'She must be thinking about how I use my Vision Heroes to swarm the field...' He then smirked, 'Won't she be surprised once I figure out how to get that thing off the field.'
"I place one card facedown to end my turn and then activate my Kaiser Colosseum!"
"With this in play, even if you manage to Special Summon, this card prevents you from placing any more monster than one since that's all I currently have."
"All right, a little snake is nothing I can handle..." Aster smirked, drawing his next card.
"But, Royal Decree will restrict your choices," Ileana interrupted as she revealed her facedown card, "If you planning to use Traps, they will be negated and of no use..."
"Okay then, I pass..." the Pro Duelist shrugged.
Ileana raised an eyebrow, 'He can do nothing, yet he's smirking... I shall fix that...' She then drew her next card, "I activate the Field Spell Mirror Labyrinth and the Continuous Spell Card, Solidarity!" Once the Field Spell was set in, the entire forest setting was replaced with a room filled with large mirrors. The reflections of the duelists and monster were surrounding the field. Then Reptilliane Servant hissed as it gained power. (1/100-900/100)
"Now I can use the effect of Mirror Labyrinth," She continued. "If I control a single low-level monster, it can attack twice a turn! Take this!"
The Servant hissed as it lunged at Aster, smacking him with its tail before dealing a headbutt that sent Aster staggering back.
Ileana: 8000
Aster: 6200
"And to add a final blow for this turn, I activate Meteor of Destruction to deal another 1000 points!"
Aster looked up as the sky darkened with exception of a burning light heading towards the field. He growled as he prepared himself for the impact. Once the Meteor got close, the Pro Duelist jumped out of the way and then let it impact harshly into the ground near him, rolling around in the dirt.
Ileana: 8000
Aster: 5200
Aster coughed as he slowly stood up from his attack, "What's the rush, snake lady?" He then grinned, "Besides that was just a warm-up... you could never know what I'm capable of despite you keeping tabs on us..." Ileana sneered, "What are you so angry about; you're ahead! In fact..." The Pro duelist drew his next card and then set one card. "That's all I'll do for now and let you have your way..."
The Venom duelist hissed as she drew her next card, "Don't you mock me! Servant, I want you to rip that smug look off his face!"
Ileana: 8000
Aster: 3400
"Now get up," She yelled as Aster was leaning against the tree and using it for leverage. "I'm through messing with you all..."
As the Pro duelist leaned against the tree, he noticed something behind the livid woman and that it was emitting a glow. Not wanting to give his opponent the chance to notice, he walked closer back to his spot and thought, 'It must be how she's dishing out real damage... and how she has the chance to steal everyone's deck and disk... Mission accomplished, Kaiba...' "My turn..." He then drew his next card, "First, I activate Graceful Charity to draw out three cards and then being Good Samaritan, I'll send two to the graveyard."
As he drew his three cards, he mentally grinned and then sent off the two he needed to the graveyard.
"Now, I remove a little monster from my graveyard that I like to call... Destiny Hero Malicious!"
"What!?" Ileana gasped as Aster removed a card from his graveyard, prompting a black demon-looking warrior with wings and a sharp, whip-like tail to fly out and stare down. (6/800/800) "And if he's out..."
The Servant hissed painfully as it shattered into pixels, scattering across the Colosseum.
"Now, I can take out all the monsters I want to play and seek some payback," Aster smirked as he activated a Spell card, "Now, I have another Destiny Hero I like to bring back with Monster Reborn! Meet Destiny Hero Dasher!"
From the ankh of the Spell, another Destiny Hero its entire body was garbed in thick black armor and a black helmet covered its head. On his hands and feet were black tires. (6/2100/1000)
"And then, I'll add a surprise guest in the form of Elemental HERO Stratos," He continued as brought out a dark blue armored hero with a metal wing with two wind turbines on his back appeared. (4/1800/300) "And with his effect, when I summoned, I can destroy two of your Spell/Trap cards since I have two heroes with me!"
Stratos then used his turbines to summon up some wind to blow away Ileana's Royal Decree and then Kaiser Colosseum.
"Now to continue, I activate Dasher's effect to send Malicious to the graveyard and have him gain 1000 ATK." Malicious shattered into pixels and then went into Dasher, powering him up. (6/2100-3100/1000) "But you won't miss Malicious much, because he's going back to the field!" After its card was banished from the graveyard, the demon-warrior returned to the field. (6/800/800)
Ileana had to step back in fear, knowing what was coming.
"All right Destiny Heroes," Aster announced, "Give her a Triple Threat!"
Ileana: 2300
Aster: 3400
"And then, I place one card facedown and then Dasher has to go into defense mode." He concluded as Dasher took a knee and guarded with his arms.
"Enough," Ileana shouted, drawing her next card. "Here's the end! I activate Scapegoat to summon forth four Lamb Tokens!" In four puffs of smoke, four small, different colored lambs. (1/0/0) x4 "And then, I'll sacrifice two of them to Special Summon Reptilliane Vaskii!" Two of the tokens shattered into pixels, letting out the four-armed naga appear. (8/2600/0) "This is where it ends as I activate Vaskii's effect to destroy your Stratos!"
"And this is where I stop you from doing that as I activate my facedown card, Alternate Fusion!" Aster countered, revealing his trap card. "I can use this to not only escape your monster's effect, but by sending all three monsters into the graveyard, I can Fusion Summon a monster that will end this game!" A fusion vortex opened up underneath the Heroes and sucked them right in before Vaskii could shoot her venom at Stratos. And then emerging from it was the red armored warrior with bladed forearms (8/2500/2000) "And then the best part of it is that I can have his ATK doubled for this turn!"
Ileana smirked, "But using Alternate Fusion makes your monster dead before I can do anything about it, so I'll use the Spell Card United We Stand have my monster overpower you and then end my turn..." Vaskii laughed as she was feeling a lot powerful than before. (8/2600-5000/0-2400)
Aster smiled, "Good because I can activate De-Fusion to separate my monsters back into the Heroes I sent to the graveyard!" Trinity then glowed white and then separated into Stratos, Dasher, and Malicious (4/1800/300), (6/2100/1000), (6/800/800). Seeing how irked Ileana was, he drew his next card, "And then, I'll be the one to end this as I activate my Lightning Vortex! By sending one card from my hand to the graveyard, I can destroy all of your monsters!"
The Venom Leader gasped as she was overcome by a giant thunderstorm, but acted fast, "I don't know how you were able to slip past me... but it looks like three duelists were enough for this gauntlet... I activate this little card that will end this duel... I don't know how you slipped through the cracks, but it appears your Destiny Heroes became more trouble then they are worth... see you around, Aster Phoenix!" She then held up a card, showing it to Aster and made him gasp.
"Wait a second, how can you...!?"
Once she slashed the card into her disk, white light and energy exploded from around the Ileana, blocking her from view and tossing Aster back. The dust cloud was ripped apart by the wind and blast, and the whole world went white for a few seconds before the blast faded.
As Aster looked back, the Venom Leader was gone. She had used the cover of the blast to flee the forest. He then noticed his duel disk flashing in red words.
[Duel Interrupted]
"Tch... Sore loser..." Aster grumbled as he wiped off any dirt off his suit. "Better get back..." And as he walked out of the forest while carrying Allen on his back, he had to wonder about what just happened. 'How in the Hell did she activate a card like that? It wasn't even a card she could activate on the spot. At least I was able to record in the event that I escaped whatever she had planned for me, but she's the one that escape... not only that, I have to get the others ready for anything else Ileana might pull. And maybe since I got a picture, Kaiba may figure out just who this woman and her deal is aside from destroying Kaiba Corporation and Duel Academy's rep...'
Back inside the submarine, Ileana sat down in her room, panting heavily as she leaned back in her seat.
"Damn..." She said, gasping for air, "He's learned of my tactics... not even stealing from their friends fazed him... And I thought he ceased using those Destiny Heroes..." She then sighed, "No matter... I still have that planned for those fools trying to reach the Valley of the World... I'll just rest for now and use the data I've obtained to further my sabotage of Kaiba Corporation..."
(Alternate Dimension)
Jacinth trudged along the sands outside of Duel Academy with a blank look on his face. He was easily able to walk freely away from the school due to the Zombie Duelists recognizing him as one of them, but superior, and easily destroyed any monster that crossed his path and left their dead bodies to rot. Soon, he came to the base of the helipad where Jaden, Claudio, and the others who joined them to stop Viper.
"Looks like this is the place where I would find them..." He said to himself. "I don't know why even bother... anyone in that underground facility would be dead by now due to lack of air..." He then growled angrily, "It's still irritating that they, of all people or demons, have leverage on me... but for now, I'll just play along because of that pact we all share." He then smiled, "Once it's done, I can end my other's torment, I can finally show Jachin why my methods, although messy, was always right... Well, off I go..."
He then charged his hand with darkness and punched a hole into the ground, causing a hole to open up and jumped inside. There was no telling what he'd bring back with him.
Like I said, sorry for a short chapter, but it'll build up next chapter, I guarantee it!
