Yu-Gi-Oh GX: Season 2 – The Gentle Darkness vs The Light of Destruction

Last time, Syrus was depressed over how Zane had been acting recently when he dueled, Jaden tried to cheer him up by saying it was probably temporally. Later after Zane had won his latest duel he fired Mr Shroud since he had no more use for him. He then went to the old temple he used to train to duel in and met his old master, Sheppard. Sheppard hoping to bring Zane back to his senses challenged him to a duel, while Zane was only after the darker half of the Cyber Legacy, the Underworld deck. In the end Zane won the duel and took the Underworld deck, he then was about to leave but not before Sheppard invited him to a tournament that was going to be held at the academy soon, Zane said he would think about it since it would be a good time to test the Underworld deck before he left. What will happen next?

Chapter 29- The GX tournament begins

Jaden walked through the forest behind the Slifer dorm with Yubel flying next to him. Jaden looked at her, "So Yubel, why did you tell me to come with you?" Yubel looked at him, "You will soon find out, it's something I have been considering to do for a while now, and since Bastion has been brainwashed as well, we need all the help we can get".

Jaden had no idea what she was talking about but figured that he would soon find out. After having walked for a little while Yubel stopped and Jaden stopped as well and looked around, still not understanding why they had walked to the clearing they were currently at.

He then saw how Yubel's eyes began to glow, and Jaden felt an intense lust for battle appear in the clearing. Jaden then saw an enormous burst of energy come up from the ground before it began to take shape. He saw how it took the shape of an enormous T-Rex, even though he couldn't see it clearly.

Jaden looked at Yubel who stared at it, "Mighty soul from ancient times, I can sense your restless spirit, you desire more battles, help us in this fight and you will be reborn as a duel spirit, which will allow you to battle again, only a bit different than what you're used to".

The T-Rex roared, and Yubel nodded, she then held out her hand as the glow in her eyes got more intense. The T-Rex roared again as he turned into energy and then it flew over towards Yubel's hand.

The energy gathered in her hand and it eventually became a card. Yubel looked at the card before turning towards Jaden and holding it out to him, "Give this to Hassleberry tomorrow, like I said, we will need all the help we can get".

Jaden took the card and looked at it, he then looked at Yubel, "So this is what you planned to do? How did you know about the soul of that T-Rex?" Yubel looked at him, "I have known about it for quite some time now, and I'd considered doing this before, but with Bastion being taken away, we are weakened now and need all the help we can get".

Jaden looked at the card again and nodded, "Good point, alright I'll give this to him some time tomorrow". Jaden placed the card into his pocket before he and Yubel began making their way towards the Slifer dorm again.

LATER THE NEXT DAY,

Bonaparte came running through the hallway of the main building, "Crowler, we got trouble, big trouble". He shouted as he came into the Chancellor's office. Crowler looked at him as he sat behind the desk, "What troubled are you talking about little man?"

Bonaparte for once ignored Crowler's comment about his height and looked at him, "It's Sheppard, he's back". Crowler stood up in shock, "Sheppard? He's back?" Bonaparte nodded, "Indeed, and he's on his way here right now".

Crowler began to walk back and forth behind the desk, "Oh dear me, that means that I will be demoted back to Vice Chancellor for the time being doesn't it?" Bonaparte looked at him, "Hold on a sec here, I'm the Vice Chancellor, and also you're a lower rank".

Crowler walked over to him and glared at him while he leaned down, "That's rude Bonaparte, besides I have been here longer than you so I should get the spot as Vice Chancellor if Sheppard's back".

Bonaparte looked at him, "Well with all your bad ideas, you will be lucky if you get to keep the rank you got, if he finds out about the idea of tearing down the Slifer dorm, or about the white dorm probléme he will fire you for sure".

Crowler gritted his teeth, "Now hold on a second here, the idea of tearing down the red dorm was your idea not mine, and you said you would give your support for the white dorm if they managed to create a situation where you could tear down the red dorm while I was against it, I hold no responsibility for…"

However at that moment they heard a voice from the door, "That's quite an interesting conversation you two are having".

They turned their heads towards the door in a split second and saw to their horror that Sheppard stood there, "He's here already!" Both of them screamed, as Sheppard most likely had heard most of the part of their conversation that they DIDN'T want him to hear.

Sheppard walked towards them, "And while I would like to continue this conversation with the two of you, it will have to wait for a while, since there is an important announcement to make.

Crowler and Bonaparte sighed relieved before they remember what Sheppard had just said, Crowler then looked at him, "What do you mean with an important announcement?" Bonaparte nodded, "Yeah, what is it?"

Sheppard looked at them, "We will have an assembly in a half hour, inform all of the students to gather in the auditorium at the time, and I'll announce it then". Crowler and Bonaparte looked at each other confused for a second before they told Sheppard they would do as he said.

A WHILE LATER,

Jaden looked at Syrus who had just come to inform Jaden, Atticus and Hassleberry about the news with a huge smile on his face, "So Sheppard is really back?" Syrus nodded, "Yeah, and I heard that he wanted us to gather in the auditorium soon".

Atticus had a smile on his face as well, "It's good to him back, and since he's back Crowler and Bonaparte won't be able to do anything else".

Hassleberry nodded, "I haven't met Sheppard before so I don't know he is as a person, but he can't possible worse than Crowler and Bonaparte". Syrus looked at him, "He's the greatest, he always treats all the students with respect no matter what dorm they're in".

Jaden had a smile on his face and then turned around and began to walk away, the others looked at him confused and then Syrus asked, "Uh Jaden, where are you going?"

Jaden looked at them over his shoulder with a smile still on his face, "I'm just gonna return to the dorm quickly to do something, so just go ahead to the auditorium without me and I will find you there".

Syrus looked at him shocked, "But it's not long until it starts, you won't make it to the dorm and back in time". Hassleberry nodded, however Atticus had a smirk on his face, "Come on Sy, we know he has a way to make it in time". Syrus and Hassleberry looked confused for a second before a look of realization appeared on their faces.

Jaden placed his hand on his Elemental Hero deck, "With Flame Wingman I can make it there and back with time to spare, also since the day's classes is not over yet no one will be around to see us".

Atticus nodded, "Alright then, the three of us will get to the auditorium first and then you get there as soon as you're done". Jaden nodded and then walked in opposite direction from his friends.

A FEW MINUTES LATER,

Flame Wingman appeared in front of the Slifer dorm while holding Jaden. Jaden separated himself from Flame Wingman, "Thanks Flame Wingman, I know that nobody is suppose to be here now, but still, stay out of sight in case someone is actually here".

Flame Wingman nodded and then jumped used high speed to jump up on the Slifer dorm's roof. Jaden then took and walked into his room, he then walked over to his wardrobe and took out something that was wrapped inside of plastic, he got a smile on his face.

"I knew I would do this sooner or later, and I guess this moment is as good as any". He then grabbed the plastic and began to remove it.

A WHILE LATER AT THE AUDITORIUM,

Syrus and the others were sitting in their seats while having saved a seat between Syrus and Hassleberry for Jaden. Moments later they heard someone come up next to them, "Alright, I'm here now".

All of them looked at Jaden and got shocked when they saw Jaden in a Ra yellow jacket. Jaden had a smile on his face as he looked at them, "I figured that now that Sheppard was back and the Slifer dorm is safe from being torn down, I could as well change into this jacket and officially become a Ra student, even though it feels really weird to not have my red jacket on". Syrus and the others nodded at each other while they chuckled, they figured that Jaden would feel like that once he changed out of his Slifer jacket.

Jaden then sat down and every student in the auditorium started to talk happily and excited when they saw Sheppard on the podium down in front of them (except for the white students that didn't care).

Sheppard held up his hand with a smile and the talk died down, he looked at them, "Hello students, it's good to finally be back, although, judging from the changes in clothes, it appears there is a new white dorm on campus". His turned his eyes slightly towards Crowler and Bonaparte that looked nervous before he looked back at the students.

"Well I'll ask about that later, for now I have a very important announcement to make, which is also a gift to all of you". Jaden and the others looked at each other once they heard it, "A gift huh? I can't wait to find out what it is".

Sheppard then snapped with his fingers and the screen behind him lit up and showed a medallion with the letters GX on it. He looked at the students with a smirk, "And now I give you, the GX dueling tournament! It's a competition for the next generation of master duelists, and it will start here and now on the island. I have been traveling the world to find skillful duelists and have invited any I could find and they will come here from around the globe. This will be a tournament where students and pro league duelists will be clashing with each other".

Jaden got a huge smirk on his face, "A tournament where students can face pros? That's what I'm talking about". Syrus however looked like he was in deep thoughts, With any luck, my brother Zane might come, and if he does maybe I can find out what's going on with him, he thought to himself.

Sheppard looked at them, "The entire island is your battlefield, and to start, you'll each get a GX medallion". He held up a medallion like the one on the screen, "The rules are very simple, you must accept the first duel you're challenged to, and you must participate in at least one duel each day, and if you win, you'll get all of your opponent's medals".

Jaden looked at Syrus and Hassleberry and saw how both of them moved away slightly from him, both of them imagining themselves dueling and being defeated by him. Atticus chuckled a little when he saw Jaden's confused expression, since he understood what was going on.

Sheppard looked at them, "And then the two final medals holders will compete in the finals to decide the winner, and during my travels I have met some of the most skilled duelists in other dueling schools and the pro circuit, and all of them have been invited, because I truly believe that you are as good as they are".

All the students got excited but then got quiet when they saw Sheppard hold up a hand, "But before that I would like to kick of this tournament with something incredible, and since I heard Aster Phoenix have joined our school, I have arranged it so that he and our school's best duelist Jaden Yuki will face each other in a duel that will be sent live".

Jaden when he heard that looked towards Aster who sat above them with a smirk and Aster looked back at him with a smirk as well, it looked like the time to decide which one of them was the better Hero user had finally arrived.

Sheppard looked at them, "So for now I would like if everyone could move to the Obelisk arena, and ask the two duelists to get ready". Jaden and Aster stood up and nodded at Sheppard with a smirk, and Sheppard smiled when he saw Jaden in a yellow jacket, guessing that Jaden had finally decided to officially become a Ra yellow.

A FEW MOMENTS LATER,

Jaden stood outside of the Obelisk arena and the others looked at him. Atticus looked at him with a smirk, "So the time to duel Aster and settle things once and for all have finally arrived, are you excited Jaden?"

Jaden raised an eyebrow, "Come on Atticus, do you really need to ask that?" Jaden then placed his hand on his deck with his Elemental Dragon Heroes, "Also after our last duel, Aster said that he wanted to face my Dragon Heroes the next time we dueled, so I don't have to think about which deck I should use".

Hassleberry nodded, "Alright Sarge, now go out on that battlefield and end this battle with him once and for all". Jaden nodded as all four of them entered the arena, Jaden continued towards the stage with the others went up to find some good spectator seats.

Jaden looked around and saw that a few TV cameras was placed around the arena, he then walked up on the stage and saw Aster there with his arms crossed.

Crowler then walked out on the stage with a mike, "And now, we will soon begin the GX tournament's opening duel between Jaden Yuki and Aster Phoenix, and this duel will actually settle a score between these two, since they have already dueled twice and each of them have won a duel each".

Jaden could hear a lot of gasps from the non brainwashed students and when he looked at Sheppard he could see a shocked look on his face when he heard that, while Aster looked at Crowler with narrowed eyes since he didn't like that he had mentioned that part.

Crowler swallowed nervously when he saw Aster's expression and quickly said, "Anyway, first the two duelists will shuffle the opponent's deck". Jaden and Aster walked towards each other and held out their decks and they took the other one's deck and then began to shuffle it.

AT THE SAME TIME AT THE YUKI RESIDENCE,

Amanda washing the dishes when she heard her husband, Jacob shout, "Amanda come quick! Jaden is about to duel on TV". Amanda who heard that quickly ran into their living room and looked at the TV and saw Jaden on it as he shuffled Aster's deck.

She sat down next to her husband, "Who is he dueling against?" Jacob looked at her, "Some guy named Aster Phoenix".

Amanda looked at him, "I know that name, a few times when I have been shopping I have heard girls and other duelists talk about him, apparently he's an undefeated pro duelist".

Jacob looked at her, "So he's a pro huh? Well I will have to correct you, because I just heard that he and Jaden have a score to settle since they have defeated each other once each".

Amanda looked shocked when she heard that, but sighed when she realized that she shouldn't be surprised that Jaden had won against an undefeated pro, though she guessed he won their second match. Anyway she sat there and waited for the duel to start while they saw how they had just finished shuffling the decks and returned them.

BACK TO JADEN AND ASTER,

Jaden and Aster walked back to their corners while they placed their decks into their Duel Disks. They then turned towards each other, Crowler then was about to speak but Aster interrupted him by asking Jaden, "Jaden, you the deck you chose was you deck with your Dragon Heroes right?"

Jaden nodded, "Of course, I know you wanted to face them next so I will allow you to do that, but since I only have seven of them, I have other monsters as well, but I mostly use them anyway". Aster nodded as he understood.

Crowler then cleared his throat as he held up the mike to his mouth, "Now then, let the GX Tournament's opening duel begin!" Aster and Jaden narrowed their eyes while they activated their Duel Disks and drew their first five cards and looked at them.

Aster looked at Jaden, "Since I went first in both of our previous duels, I will allow you to go first this time". Jaden nodded and looked at his deck, "Alright then, time to get my game on".

Jaden then took and drew his sixth card and looked at it, "First I start with summoning Elemental Dragon Hero Archangel in defense mode". A bright light appeared and Archangel descended from the sky and landed on a knee in front of Jaden and crossed his arms in front of him, Def: 2000.

A card came out of Jaden's deck and he grabbed it, "And whenever he's summoned I can add an Elemental Dragon Fusion from my deck to my hand". Jaden revealed the card and it was Elemental Dragon Fusion and then added it to his hand.

Jaden then looked at Archangel, "And now Archangel's other ability activates, so now for as long as he's on the field the attack points of all of my Elemental Dragon Heroes increases by 100 multiplied by their level". Archangel roared as he was surrounded by a golden light, Atk: 1000-1400. Jaden then grabbed a card in his hand, "And now I end my turn with one card face down". A card then appeared in front of him.

Aster then took and drew his sixth card and looked at it, "Now I activate my D – Spirit spell card, so since there is no Destiny Heroes on my field, I can special summon a level 4 or below Destiny Hero from my hand, so come forth Destiny Hero Doom Lord". Doom Lord then appeared on the field, Atk: 600.

Aster then grabbed another card in his hand, "And next I summon Destiny Hero Diamond Dude in attack mode". Diamond Dude then appeared on the field as well, Atk: 1400.

Aster then placed his fingers on his deck, "And next I'll check the top card of my deck to see of it's a normal spell or not". Aster drew the card and looked at it, "And it is, it's my Pot of Greed spell card, so now I place it into my graveyard, and then activate it during my next main phase". Aster then placed it into the graveyard.

He then grabbed a card in his hand, "Next I play Destiny Draw, and so by discarding my Destiny Hero Disk Commander, I can now draw two cards from my deck". Aster sent Disc Commander to the graveyard before he drew two more cards from his deck and looked at them before he placed them in his hand.

Aster then looked at Archangel, "And now Doom Lord's special ability activates, so now I can send one of your monsters into the future, of course it will return to the field in two turns during my standby phase". Doom Lord jumped towards Archangel and touched him with his claws, causing him to disappear.

Aster looked at Jaden, "Of course Doom Lord can't attack when he uses his ability, but Diamond Dude still can, so now attack Jaden Diamond Dude". Diamond Dude rushed towards Jaden and rammed the diamond on his right arm into him, Jaden LP: 4000-2600.

Jaden looked while Aster grabbed two cards in his hand, "Next I place two cards face down and end my turn". Two cards then appeared in front of Aster as he ended his turn.

Jaden then placed his fingers on his deck, "It's my turn". Jaden then drew his next card and looked at it, "I play Pot of Greed, so now I get to draw two more cards".

Jaden drew his next card and looked at it, "Next I activate Dragon Caller, which allows me to normal summon a dragon type monster from my hand regardless of level".

Aster narrowed his eyes as Jaden grabbed a card in his hand, "So now I summon my Elemental Dragon Hero Lightningstorm in attack mode". Lightning appeared in the sky above them and then Lightningstorm flew down in high speed and landed in front of Jaden, Atk: 2300.

Jaden looked at Aster, "And now my Lightningstorm's first special ability activates, so now he can destroy up to two monsters that has an original attack points of 1800 or less". Lightningstorm roared as he drew both of his swords and then sent slashes of lightning towards Diamond Dude and Doom Lord and destroyed both of them.

Aster gritted his teeth as he pressed a button on his Duel Disk, "I activate my trap card Destiny Mirage, so now since Diamond Dude and Doom Lord was destroyed because of an effect I can bring them back to the field". Doom Lord and Diamond Dude then reappeared on the field in attack mode.

Jaden narrowed his eyes, "Fine then, Lightningstorm, attack his Doom Lord with Roaring Twin Lightning Blade". Lightningstorm roared while he held up his swords and they got hit by a lightning, charging them up with electricity. He then flew towards Doom Lord and slashed him with both of his swords, destroying him, Aster LP: 4000-2300.

Aster pressed a button on his Duel Disk, "I now activate the trap card Destiny Signal, so now since you destroyed Doom Lord, I can summon a level 4 or below Destiny Hero from my deck to the field, like Captain Tenacious". A big D light signal appeared above them and then Captain Tenacious appeared on the field, Atk: 800.

Jaden narrowed his eyes before he grabbed a card in his hand, "Next I place one card face down and end my turn". A card then appeared in front of Jaden as he ended his turn.

Aster then drew his next card, "Now my Captain's ability activates, which allows me to bring back Doom Lord". Doom Lord then reappeared on the field, Atk: 600.

Aster then looked at Jaden, "And now Pot of Greed activates, so now I can draw two more cards from my deck". Aster then drew two more cards and looked at them. He then pointed towards Lightningstorm, "And now Doom Lord will also send your Lightningstorm on a trip to two turns into the future". Doom Lord then rushed towards Lightningstorm and touched him with his claws and Lightningstorm disappeared.

Aster then grabbed a card in his hand, "And next I send Destiny Hero Blade Master to the graveyard in order to add 800 points to Captain Tenacious for this turn". Captain Tenacious got surrounded by an aura, Atk: 800-1600.

Aster looked at Jaden, "And I guess this means that this duel is already over, now Diamond Dude…" However Jaden pressed a button on his Duel Disk, "I activate the trap card Shadow Spell, so now not only can't Diamond Dude attack, he also can't change battle position and he also loses 700 attack points". Chains came out of the card and wrapped themselves around Diamond Dude, Atk: 1400-700.

Aster narrowed his eyes, "Fine, now Captain Tenacious, attack his life points directly". Captain Tenacious jumped towards Jaden and rammed the blade on his arm into Jaden, Jaden LP: 2600-1000.

Aster then placed his fingers on his deck, "And now, Diamond Dude allows me to check the top card of my deck to see if it's a normal spell or not". Aster drew his card and looked at it, "And it is since it's Graceful Charity, so now I place it in my graveyard and then activate it during my next turn". He then placed it into his graveyard.

Aster then grabbed one of the three cards in his hand, "Next I place one card face down and then I end my turn which means Captain Tenacious's attack points return to normal". Jaden nodded as a card appeared in front of Aster and Captain Tenacious points went down, Atk: 1600-800.

Jaden had a smile on his face, "You have to admit Aster, this is a fun duel right?" Aster looked at him, "I guess, even so I just wonder, why did Yugi Muto want Pegasus to make the Dragon Heroes for you? I mean I remember that you told me during our first duel that he did it as a gift for saving his deck that had been stolen and as a test but is that all the reasons?"

Jaden shrugged his shoulders with a smile, "Yugi seems to have been interested in my skills, you didn't watch the school duel last year right? He came here to watch the duel personally, since we at that time didn't know it would be sent live". Aster looked really shocked when he heard that.

Jaden then placed his fingers on his deck, "Anyway, my move now". Jaden took and drew his next card and looked at it, "I now summon Elemental Dragon Hero Quickclaw in attack mode". A hurricane appeared behind Jaden and then Quickclaw flew out of it and landed in front of Jaden, Atk: 1600.

Jaden then drew four more cards, "And thanks to his special ability, I can now check the top four cards of my deck and summon a level 6 or below monster if there is one among them, any other cards are shuffled back into my deck".

Jaden looked at the cards, "I now summon Elemental Dragon Hero Aqua Blast in attack mode". A water tornado formed behind Jaden and spun a few times before it bent downwards and crashed down next to Quickclaw, and then once the water disappeared Aqua Blast was standing there, Atk: 1800.

Aster gritted his teeth, since he now had Aqua Blast on the field he knew he wouldn't be able to activate trap cards during the battle phase, which meant that his D-Counter trap card was useless.

Jaden pointed at Captain Tenacious, "And now Quickclaw, destroy Captain Tenacious with Shadow Slash". Quickclaw grabbed his sword and vanished in high speed before reappearing behind Captain Tenacious with his sword drawn, Captain Tenacious managed to notice him right before he got slashed by his sword and got destroyed, Aster LP: 2300-1500.

Jaden then pointed towards Doom Lord, "And now I attack Doom Lord with Aqua Blast, now Hydro Blast". Aqua Blast gathered water in his mouth and then fired it towards Doom Lord and destroyed him, Aster LP: 1500-300.

Jaden then looked at his cards, "Next I place two cards face down and then I end my turn". Two cards then appeared in front of Jaden as his turn ended.

Aster looked at Jaden, "I will win this Jaden, I will prove to you that I'm the better Hero user and that my Destiny Heroes are the best Hero monsters there is". Aster then drew his next card and looked at it.

Jaden looked at him, "But let's not forget, since two turns have passed, I now get my Archangel back". Archangel then reappeared on the field, Def: 2000.

Jaden looked at Aster, "And now all of them gains 100 attack points multiplied by their levels, so all three of them gain 400 attack points". Archangel roared as he got surrounded by a golden aura, Atk: 1000-1400. Quickclaw roared as he also got surrounded by an aura, Atk: 1600-2000. Finally Aqua Blast also got surrounded by a golden aura, Atk: 1800-2200.

Aster narrowed his eyes, "Well I also get's something, Graceful Charity, so now I draw three cards and then I discard two from my hand". He drew three cards and looked at them, he then grabbed one of them and then another from his hand and placed them into his graveyard.

Aster then placed one of the cards he had drawn into his Duel Disk, "I now play Silent Doom, so now I bring back Destiny Hero Disk Commander in defense mode". Disk Commander appeared on a knee with crossed arms, Def: 300.

Aster then drew two cards, "And whenever Disk Commander is summoned from the graveyard, I get to draw two cards, and next, I remove Destiny Hero Malicious that I just sent to the grave from play in order to summon another from my deck". Malicious came out of his graveyard and he placed it into his back pocket before another one appeared on the field, Atk: 800.

Aster then grabbed a card in his hand, "And next I sacrifice all three of them in order to summon, Destiny Hero Dogma". Jaden watched as Aster's three monsters disappeared and Dogma appeared, Atk: 3400.

Jaden looked at him, "So we meet again Dogma, however you didn't take me down before and you won't take me down this time". Aster narrowed his eyes, "We'll see about that, now Dogma, attack his Aqua Blast with Dogma Dagger Dash". The blades on Dogma's arms came out and he flew towards Aqua Blast.

Jaden held up his arm as one of his card got flipped face up, "I activate my trap card, Staunch Defender, so now I can redirect Dogma's attack towards Quickclaw". Aster gritted his teeth when he saw how Dogma stopped and flew towards Quickclaw instead of Aqua Blast.

Quickclaw went down on a knee and crossed his arms, Def: 1400. Dogma slashed him but he remained on the field, Jaden looked at Aster, "As I'm sure you remember Aster, if Quickclaw is attack he switches to defense mode and survive the battle".

Aster sighed, "I end my turn, so this is your last chance for victory Jaden, so let's see if you can bring out a miracle". Jaden looked at his deck, he could have used his face down Negate Attack trap card as well to save himself, but he was planning to save it in case he needed it later.

Jaden looked at Aster with a smirk, "Alright Aster, since I know my deck won't let me down, it's time to get my game on". Jaden took and drew his next card. However Aster held up his hand, "Hold on Jaden, it's seems like you have forgotten Dogma's ability, so now he will cut your life points in half during each of your standby phases".

Dogma got surrounded by purple energy and it then surrounded Jaden as well who gritted his teeth, Jaden LP: 1000-500. Jaden then looked at the card he had just drawn.

"Now I summon Elemental Dragon Hero Oblivion in attack mode". Darkness gathered above Jaden and out of it came Oblivion and then flew down and landed next to his counterpart Archangel, Atk: 2000-2400.

Jaden had a smirk on his face, "And now once per turn, I can choose one of your monsters and then for every Elemental Dragon Hero on my field, the opposing monster loses 200 attack points".

Aster looked at Dogma who got surrounded by a dark aura, Atk: 3400-2600. Aster looked at him, "Even so it's not enough to take him down". However he got a little nervous when Jaden pointed at the card he had had face down since his first turn.

"That's about to change, because I activate Elemental Dragon Fusion, and I use it to fuse Oblivion and Archangel together, in order to summon Elemental Dragon Hero Yin-Yang".

An explosion appeared on the field and a vortex appeared and sucked in Oblivion and Archangel, then moments later Yin-Yang came out of the vortex with both Oblivion's sword and Archangel's sword in his hands, Atk: 1000.

Jaden looked at his other two Dragon Heroes, "Of course since Archangel has left the field, Quickclaw and Aqua Blast now loses the points they gained". Quickclaw Atk: 2000-1600. Aqua Blast Atk: 2200-1800.

Jaden looked at Aster who looked a little nervous now, "By the look on your face I'm sure that you remember that Yin-Yang gains 200 attack points multiplied by the combined levels of all of my Elemental Dragon Heroes, and so Yin-Yang is level 8, while both Quickclaw and Aqua Blast is level 4". Yin-Yang roared as he got surrounded by a golden aura, Atk: 1000-4200.

Aster sighed and lowered his face while closing his eyes, "So it means that I'll lose again huh?" Jaden looked at him, "Even so your Destiny Heroes are awesome monsters Aster".

Aster looked at him, "Of course they are Jaden, they were designed by my own hero, now just hurry up and finish this".

Jaden nodded, "Alright then Yin-Yang, attack Destiny Hero Dogma with Light and Darkness Slash". Yin-Yang roared and sent slashes of light and darkness towards Dogma and destroyed him while Aster closed his eyes again, Aster LP: 300-0.

Sheppard then walked up on the stage while Crowler handed him the mike, "And that's the end of the tournaments opening match, Jaden Yuki is the winner, and with that, let the GX tournament begin". A lot of cheers erupted when he said that as he handed Jaden and Aster a GX medallion each.

A LITTLE WHILE LATER,

Jaden, Syrus, Hassleberry and Atticus stood around each other while Aster leaned against a pillar close to them. Jaden had recently transferred some of his own energy to his three friends (Aster didn't want it) and now they could hear how other students were talking about who they would challenge, and Syrus was a bit troubled over that a lot of them mentioned his name, "Oh man, why is it always me that everyone goes after in situations like this?"

Atticus looked at him with a troubled smile, "It's simple buddy, everyone believes that you will be easy to beat, it's the go after the weaker ones first tactics".

Aster closed his eyes, "Well I'm planning on waiting for people to start gathering medallions". Syrus looked at him, "I get it, you'll wait for people to win quite a few medals before you challenge them to win their medals". Aster nodded which confirmed it.

Jaden got a smile on his face, "Alright then, it's time for me to find myself an opponent". Atticus silently chuckled a little when he saw how nervous Syrus and Hassleberry looked when Jaden said that.

Aster then moved away from the pillar and walked away, but not before he said, "Jaden, I will defeat you in this tournament, so prepare yourself". Jaden looked at Aster as he walked away, "If he does then we will have to duel again in order to settle things once again".

Jaden then looked towards his friends but Hassleberry held up his hands, "Hold on a sec Sarge, I don't want to be knocked out of the tournament right from the start". Syrus nodded since he agreed with Hassleberry.

Jaden sighed before he placed his hand inside one of his pockets, "Fine, anyway Hassleberry, I have something for you". Jaden then held out a card towards Hassleberry.

Hassleberry looked at it confused before he took it and looked at it, his eyes widened in shock, "This, this is a dinosaur card I have never heard of, where did you get it?"

Jaden looked at him, "The reason you haven't heard about it before is because until last night it didn't exist, you see Yubel had found a restless T-Rex spirit, it wanted more battles, and so Yubel used her powers to change its soul into a duel spirit and turn it into a card, seeing how our group is getting smaller, she thought we would need all the help we could get".

Hassleberry nodded with a smile, "Tell her I say thanks, let's see if I can use it in my first duel". Jaden looked at Syrus, "I wish I had something for you as well, but she can only turn the spirits of living things into duel spirits, not machines".

Syrus looked at Jaden with a smile, "It's okay, I know you would have done the same for me as well if it was possible, so no need to worry about it Jaden". Jaden nodded with a smile.

However Syrus saw how Hassleberry placed the card into his deck while looking at him with a smirk, "Speaking of my first battle, I have the perfect enemy in mind". Syrus took a step backwards nervously, "Oh yeah, and who would that be?"

He then noticed how people had started to surround him, he sighed, "Just my luck, well good bye". Syrus then turned around and ran away with two dozen students after him.

Jaden shook his head while Atticus laughed, "Well Syrus really doesn't have it easy". He then looked at Jaden, "Well I will go and see if I can find myself and opponent then, later Jaden".

Jaden watched as Atticus walked away and then got a smile on his face, "Alright then, time for me to find an opponent, I'm sure there are a lot of people that wants to duel me in this tournament".

AT THE SAME TIME AT THE WHITE DORM,

Sartorius was sitting and playing at a piano with Alexis, Bastion and Chazz standing behind him, Chazz was currently speaking with him, "Master Sartorius, you can trust that The Chazz will beat the dorks and losers in this tournament and then make them see the Light".

Sartorius stood up from the piano, "If you excuse me". Chazz and the others watched in confusion as he just walked away, "Wonder what's wrong with the master?" Chazz looked at them, "He's just probably thinking about the tournament, but he doesn't need to worry, because we will all show our power and then make them all see the Light".

Chazz then held up his right fist, "All hail the Society of Light!" He smiled as he saw everyone else do the same and chant, "All hail the Society of Light! All hail the Society of Light! All hail the Society of Light!"

AT THE SAME TIME AT THE CHANCELLOR'S OFFICE,

Sheppard was sitting behind his desk looking through a few documents when he heard the door to the office open. He looked up and saw Sartorius walking in, "So we finally meet Sartorius, welcome".

Sartorius walked up to the desk with a smile, "While thank you Chancellor, I have been quite impressed by your students".

Sheppard looked at him, Sartorius smiled at him, "So I just wondered, have you invited that duelist I asked for?"

Sheppard looked at him, "I invited him, even though I had doubts about him participating in the tournament since he's the prince over a whole nation and wouldn't just change his plans and delay his duties because of a tournament".

Sartorius narrowed his eyes a little, his plans would not work if that person would not be in the tournament. Sheppard saw the change in his expression and narrowed his eyes with suspicion, but he still continued, however when I mention about the Destiny Heroes being here like you asked he expressed his desire to participate". Sartorius immediately changed his expression.

Sheppard looked at Sartorius, he were suspicious of him so he decided to try and keep an eye on him and see what he's up to.

AT THE SAME TIME,

A plane was getting closer to the island and there was a royal symbol on the outside of it. Inside of the plane a young man dressed in white with purple hair sat looking through his duel monsters deck while having a briefcase on the table next to him,

The prince turned towards his personal secretary as well as his bodyguards while holding up his GX medallion, "So how many duelists are taking part of this GX tournament?"

The female secretary looked at him, "I highly doubt there will be anyone skilled enough to cause trouble for you prince Ojin". Prince Ojin then chuckled, "Indeed, well I will just send them all to oblivion with my one turn kill and then once I find those Destiny Heroes I will win them from whoever has them". He then put the medallion away and looked at the briefcase with a smile.

AT THE SAME TIME ON THE ISLAND,

Syrus was currently in a duel with a Slifer student he had managed to catch up to him and challenged him to a duel. Syrus had just drawn his card and looked at it, "And now I summon Jetroid in attack mode". Jetroid appeared on the field, Atk: 1200.

The Slifer student looked at him with a smirk, "Please, are you trying to lose, after all that little flying tin can of yours doesn't have enough points to destroy my Berserk Gorilla who has 2000 attack points".

Syrus looked at his cards with a smirk, Maybe not, however whenever Jetroid gets attacked his ability allows me to play a trap from my hand, like Magic Cylinder which will send all of his overgrown monkey's attack points back to him as damage, winning me the duel, he thought with a smile.

Syrus looked at the Slifer student, "And that's all from me, so now it's your turn, so give me everything you got pal because I'm ready".

The Slifer student looked uninterested, "Whatever you say, my move". He drew his next card and looked at it, "I now sacrifice my Berserk Gorilla in order to summon Jinzo to the field".

Syrus got freaked out when he saw Jinzo appear on the field, Atk: 2400, Oh man that's not good, with Jinzo on the field neither of us can use any trap cards which means my plan is ruined, Syrus thought in panic.

The Slifer Student pointed towards Jetroid, "And now Jinzo, destroy his pathetic excuse for a monster with Cyber Energy Shock". Jinzo unleashed a blast of purple energy towards Jetroid and destroyed him, Syrus LP: 1600-400.

Syrus looked troubled, Oh man, that's not good, without traps I currently don't have anything to stop his attacks with, and even if I summon a monster I will be finished if he gets another monster on the field, he thought as he looked at his two cards.

The Slifer student looked at him, "And that ends my turn, so go ahead and make your final move Truesdale so I can win this". Syrus looked at his deck, hoping for a miracle to happen, "It's my turn, I draw".

Syrus drew his next card and looked at it, "I now play the spell card Card of Demise so I draw until I'm holding five cards but then I also have to discard my entire hand during my standby phase in five turns".

Syrus drew three more cards and looked at them, he then got a smirk on his face, "And now I summon Expressroid in attack mode". Expressroid appeared on the field, Atk: 400.

Syrus held his hand in front of his graveyard as two cards came out of it, "And thanks to his ability I can add two monsters from my grave to my hand, like Stealthroid and Drillroid". He showed the cards he had chosen.

Syrus then grabbed a card in his hand, "And finally I play my Vehicroid Connection Zone spell card, which allows me to fuse together Expressroid, Stealthroid, Truckroid and Drillroid to form Super Vehicroid – Stealth Union".

His four monsters combined to form Stealth Union, Atk: 3600. The Slifer student looked at it shocked, "It has 3600 attack points? But that means…"

Syrus held out his hand, "That's right, this duel is over, now Stealth Union destroy his Jinzo and end this". Stealth Union then fired one of his fists towards Jinzo and it hit him and destroyed him, Slifer student LP: 1200-0.

The Slifer student went down on his knees while Syrus had a huge smile on his face, "Oh yeah, that's game". He then got troubled when he saw the student cry since he had just lost.

AT THE SAME TIME WITH JADEN,

Jaden was currently looking for an opponent, he then noticed a group of four Ra students, he walked towards them, "Hey, you guys". The students looked at him and looked freaked out before running away.

Jaden then stood there with a shocked look on his face and then sighed, "Okay what's going on here? That's the fourth time that happens now, it almost seems like the other students are avoiding me".

Yubel appeared next to him, "I think they do, because they know that if they duel against you they will lose and get kicked out of the tournament". Jaden looked at Winged Kuriboh who appeared and squeaked, telling Jaden that Yubel was right.

Jaden sighed, "Well this sucks, well I'll see if I can find someone who wants to duel me and if I can't I'll just wait at the harbor for the pros to show up". He then began walking again.

AT THE SAME TIME WITH HASSLEBERRY,

Hassleberry currently had Dark Tyranno on the field but it had been trapped by a Spellbinding Circle and couldn't move, he had two cards in his hand and neither of them could help him right now.

The opponent currently had Big Shield Gardna on the field with 2600 defense points, as well as Gear Golem the Moving Fortress, and it had 2200 defense points, he had planned on taking him down using Dark Tyranno since the opposing yellow student only had 2300 points left but that plan had failed.

The opponent looked at him as a card appeared in front of him, "I end my turn with a face down, now make your move". Hassleberry looked at his cards, he needed to draw something good now.

He took and drew his next card and looked at it and his eyes widened, he then got a smile on his face, "Alright Yubel, let's see what this new soldier is capable of". He held out his hand, "Now I sacrifice my Dark Tyranno, in order to summon Supreme Tyranno in attack mode".

Dark Tyranno disappeared and so did the circle he was trapped in, moments later the ground cracked open and an enormous figure came out of it. Hassleberry looked at his new monster amazed, it was larger than both Dark Tyranno and Ultimate Tyranno, had a lot of scars and wounds across its body and a very ferocious look on its face, Atk: 3500.

His opponent looked horrified when he saw the creature that unleashed a powerful roar. Hassleberry looked at the opponent with a smirk, "Supreme Tyranno is a monster that can only be summoned from the hand by sacrificing a level 7 or higher dinosaur monster with Tyranno in its name that's on the field. It can attack all of your monsters at once, also if he destroys a monster in defense mode half that monsters defense points are subtracted from your life points, now go Supreme Tyranno, get them".

Supreme Tyranno roared and moved towards the opposing monsters. The student pressed a button on his Duel Disk, "I activate Sakuretsu Armor, so now I can destroy your attacking monster".

However Supreme Tyranno just roared and continued, the student looked shocked and Hassleberry continued, "Let me explain a few things, Supreme Tyranno can't be destroyed or removed from play by card effects, but if he's destroyed in battle he will be removed from play instead of going to the graveyard".

The student could only watched as Supreme Tyranno grabbed both of his monsters with his power jaws and lifted them up in the air before crushing them, Ra student LP: 2300-0.

Hassleberry looked at Supreme Tyranno who unleashed a victory roar before his hologram disappeared, "I really have to thank Yubel for the card, it really helped me out in a tough situation".

A WHILE LATER AT THE HARBOR,

Jaden was sitting there with a fishing rod, doing a little fishing while he was waiting for the pros to show up, but so far nothing, "Oh come on already, where are they?"

At that moment he heard someone call out his name, he turned around and saw both Syrus and Hassleberry coming towards him. Syrus looked at him with a smile, "We finally found you, look Jay, we won". He then held up a GX medallion along with his own and Hassleberry did the same thing.

Jaden smiled at them, "Sweet, I knew you both would win your first duels". He then closed his eyes and sighed, "On the other hand I have not even dueled once yet, it seems like the students are avoiding me",

Syrus and Hassleberry looked at each other before they looked back at him and Syrus said, "Uh Jay? Of course they are avoiding you, I mean before the tournament's opening match they might have accepted your challenge, but after seeing you beat Aster Phoenix and knowing it was the second time, any hope of winning just vanished, at least for the moment".

Jaden sighed, he should have figured that his duel against Aster would have had such side effects, "Ah man, where are the pros? I really wanna duel". A moment later they heard a noise from the air behind them and looked behind themselves.

They then saw how a plane was coming towards the harbor before it landed on top of the boat shed. They went to the elevator and went up and then walked towards it, "So you think this is one of the pros? Whoever it is they know how to arrive in style".

Syrus then stopped in shock, "Hey looked at that", Jaden and Hassleberry followed where he pointed and saw a symbol on the plane, "That's the Royal Crest of the Misgarth Kingdom".

Jaden looked at him, "Misgarth Kingdom? Never heard of it". Syrus looked at him, "Well you would've if you watched the news from time to time Jay, it is a small isolated country, however recently they sent up 'SORA', a laser satellite that apparently could burn down the world, and it has become quite a problem".

Jaden nodded, "Yeah I understand that it would be a problem if someone could use burn down the world like that, but why would someone from the Royal family of Misgarth be here then?"

Syrus looked at the plane, "Well, according to the TV report, the first prince is a huge fan of Duel Monsters and he said on TV that he had passed the test to become a pro".

Jaden looked at the plane, "So the prince is a pro duelist huh? Well I might as well challenge him then". Jaden ran towards the plane as he saw the prince and his bodyguards walking down from it.

Ojin looked at Jaden shocked when he saw him come running towards them and the bodyguards got ready to stop him but Ojin looked at them, "Stop, he seems to be a challenger, there is no reason to use force against him".

Ojin walked down from the plane and looked at Jaden who stopped a bit away from him, thinking that he looked familiar, "Excuse me my prince, but would you please due…?" Jaden was unable to finish his sentence when he felt a hand touch his shoulder and felt a very familiar energy enter him, his own powers quickly forced the foreign energy out and Jaden glared at Sartorius while Syrus and Hassleberry also glared at his back.

Sartorius ignored them and smiled at Ojin who looked confused while Alexis and Chazz walked up a little in front of Syrus and Hassleberry while both of them looked at their brainwashed friends.

"Greetings Prince Ojin, and welcome to Duel Academy, now then, I suspect that you haven't traveled all this way to duel boys like Jaden here, so allow me to be your first opponent".

Jaden however glared at Sartorius as he walked past him towards the Ojin, "Hey hold on, I was gonna challenge him, get in line". Jaden knew that this was bad, this guy's country had just sent up a laser satellite that could burn down the world and Sartorius was challenging him? That was obviously signs of disasters soon to come.

Sartorius stopped for a moment and chuckled, "Oh please, this man is not part of your destiny Jaden, in fact the hands of fate have guided this man to me, so please stay out of this". Jaden gritted his teeth and moved hurried towards the prince.

Sartorius bowed towards Ojin, "I would be very honored if you would allow me to become your first opponent my dear prince". Jaden ran up next to him, "You really shouldn't duel this guy, please allow me to be your first opponent instead".

The prince looked between them, "Does either of you have a connection to a series of cards called the D-Series?"

Jaden looked at him, "The D-Series, do you mean the Destiny Heroes? If so…" At that moment Sartorius spoke up, "I do my prince". Ojin looked at him, "Then my opponent shall be you". Sartorius bowed again, "I'm honored my prince".

Jaden looked at the prince, "Wait a minute, he doesn't have…" The prince however looked at him, "You know now I remember you, I saw you last year in that school duel, you have those Dragon Heroes right?"

Jaden looked at him, "Well yean, but you know I was in the tournament's opening match and I used them there as well". Ojin waved his hand, "Yeah well, I didn't watch it". Jaden was a bit shocked when he heard that.

The prince looked at Sartorius, "Well, after I'm done with this guy and have gotten my hands on those Destiny cards, I will take you own and win your Dragon Heroes as well". Jaden narrowed his eyes, knowing that this would not end well.

A LITTLE WHILE LATER,

Sartorius and Ojin stood across from each other on the harbor with their decks and Duel Disks ready while the others stood next to them watching worried. Jaden then noticed how Bastion came up next to him, he saw how Bastion looked at him for a second before turning his gaze back to the duel. Jaden could see a few GX medallions in his hand, which meant that he had won a few duels already, and he figured that Alexis and Chazz had as well.

Ojin looked at Sartorius, "I'm a busy prince so I will eliminate you in an instant and take the Destiny cards before taking the Dragon Heroes from that kid over there".

Sartorius nodded, "Indeed, I have predicted that this Duel will end before my first turn". Jaden looked at him with suspicious eyes, not liking the way he said that.

Sartorius looked at the prince, "Of course I'm also after a prize here, but I will tell you about that later, now let's begin". Both of them activated their Duel Disks. Jaden narrowed his eyes, "There is only one thing he could possible want from the prince, and I give you one guess". Syrus and Hassleberry looked at each other, they also knew that Sartorius wanted to get his hands on that laser satellite.

Sartorius and the prince both drew their first five cards and looked at them, Ojin looked at him, "Well then, shall we begin with my turn?" Sartorius nodded, "Please go right ahead my prince".

Ojin drew his sixth card and looked at it, "And I'll start by playing my Pot of Greed spell card, so now I get to draw two more cards from my deck". Sartorius nodded as Ojin drew two more cards, "Not a bad start".

Ojin looked at the cards he drew, "And now I play my Cost Down spell card, so now by discarding a card from my hand, the levels of all monsters in my hand is reduced by 2". He then sent Rivalry of Warlords to his graveyard, "So now I can summon my level 3 Satellite Cannon in attack mode".

A large laser satellite appeared high above them in space, Atk: 0. Ojin held out his arms, "Even though our country is small, it stands as leader for the world, and my Satellite Cannon symbolizes just that, even in reality, my kingdom's laser satellite SORA is orbiting in space around the planet, allowing me to control the world immediately anywhere I go".

Jaden and the others gasped in shocked and looked at the briefcase, now understanding that inside of it was the system to activate the laser satellite. Sartorius bowed a little, "That's really inspiring, I had been hoping to gain such a power myself".

Ojin laughed, "Oh trust me, I'm just getting started". He then held up a spell card, "I now activate the spell card Charge, it gives my Satellite Cannon 2000 attack points". Satellite Cannon, Atk: 0-2000.

Jaden smiled, "He's quite good, no wonder he's a pro". he would have really enjoyed watching the duel if the stakes in it wasn't so high.

Hassleberry however looked a little confused, "I don't get it, you can't attack during the first turn and even if he did his Satellite Cannon doesn't have enough points to end this with one strike, so why did Sartorius say it would end before his turn?" Syrus nodded, wondering the same thing.

Bastion at that time spoke up with a smirk, "Actually, there is a way to make it possible if you think about it". Jaden and the others looked at him shocked since that was the first thing he said since he showed up.

Ojin then held up a card, "And now I play the spell card Mischief of the Time Goddess". Sartorius chuckled.

Jaden's eyes widened, "Now I get it, Mischief of the Time Goddess allows you to skip your opponent's turn to your next turn's battle phase, which means he might be able to end this now". When they heard that, Alexis and Chazz looked really worried.

Ojin chuckled once again, "Looks like you were right about this ending before your next turn, after all, all the preparations are now done, now for the finishing touché with Limiter Removal which doubles my Satellite Cannon's attack points". Satellite Cannon, Atk: 2000-4000.

Bastion looked really shocked, "That Satellite Cannon now has enough power to wipe Sartorius out with one blast".

Jaden narrowed his eyes when he saw how calm Sartorius looked, "Even though it seems like the prince will win, I have high doubts that he really will". He had a feeling that Sartorius had something that could turn things around.

Chazz narrowed his eyes, "Master Sartorius can't lose this, we haven't made everyone see the Light yet". Alexis nodded, wondering if this was the end of the Society of Light.

Ojin laughed, "I guess this is the end huh?" Don't feel too bad, it's not that you're weak, I'm just too strong for you, now Satellite Cannon, attack his life points directly". Satellite Cannon then fired from space towards Sartorius and a massive explosion appeared and everyone covered their faces from the light and the shockwaves.

Ojin stood there with is arms crossed, "And like you said, this duel is now over and now I will take…" He however opened his eyes in shock as he heard Sartorius laugh, Sartorius LP: 4000.

Ojin looked shocked, "What's going on here? How did you survive that attack just now?" A monster card was standing up in front of Sartorius, "Thanks to my Arcana Force XIV – Temperance, you see by discarding it from my hand I can reduce the damage I would take from one attack to zero".

Sartorius chuckled, "So I already told you right? This duel would end before my next turn arrived, only I didn't say who would win, and thanks to your own spell it's still your turn since my was skipped, of course it would be rude of me to take up more of your busy time my prince, so allow me to end this duel now before my turn even begins".

Ojin gritted his teeth, "You may have been lucky enough to survive my one turn kill but this duel is far from over". Ojin then grabbed a card in his hand, "I now summon Satellite Base in defense mode". A space station then appeared behind him, Def: 0.

Ojin looked at Sartorius, "Impressive right? Not only can't it be destroyed by any monsters that is below level 6, it also gains 1000 defense points during each of my standby phases, so even though my Satellite Cannon will be destroyed because of Limiter Removal, I will just buy some time with Satellite Base so I can build up my forces again while you're unable to get to my life points".

Sartorius grabbed a card in his hand, "We'll see about that, since you just played a monster I can send my Intervention of Fate spell card to the graveyard to activate its effect, it now allows me to activate a spell card in my hand even though it's still your turn".

Ojin looked at Sartorius shocked while Sartorius grabbed another card in his hand, "Now I activate my Ace of Sword". The card then appeared above him and began to rotate, "This card will now decide your destiny, because it has two different abilities, and they changes based on which position this card lands on, and the one who decides is you yourself, simply tell it to stop when you're ready".

Ojin gritted his teeth, "Alright stop right there". The card began to slow down before it landed upright, Sartorius looked at Ojin, "Since the card landed upright, its ability now allows me to inflict damage to the opponent equal to the attack points of one monster I choose that is on the field". Ojin looked really worried when he heard that since he knew what that meant.

Sartorius chuckled, "You're Satellite Cannon now belongs to me, and soon SORA will to". He held out his hand, "Now you'll receive the 4000 attack points your Satellite Cannon have as damage".

Satellite Cannon changed its position a little before it fired a beam. Ojin looked up with a horrified expression on his face as he saw the beam come down before it hit him and a massive explosion appeared once again, Ojin LP: 4000-0.

Jaden watched how Ojin went down on a knee, "So the prince was the one who got to experience a one turn kill huh?"

Bastion shook his head, "Not really actually, Sartorius never had a turn to begin with, so this would actually count as a zero turn kill". Jaden narrowed his eyes, and watched as Alexis and Chazz followed closely behind Sartorius as he walked towards Ojin and Bastion joined them.

The prince then stood up and Jaden noticed a spark of the Light inside of him, it had not completely taken over him yet but it was there. Ojin got a smirk on his face, "So amazing, you obtained victory even before my turn ended".

He then turned towards his secretary and to her horror grabbed the briefcase, she tried to struggle as he was unlocking the cuff attached to it that was around her wrist, "Prince Ojin please stop! This is SORA's control switches, the future of our kingdom, not the entire world is at risk if this briefcase ends up in the wrong hands".

However her warnings fell on deaf ears as he unlocked the cuff around her wrist, "Be quiet Linda, he beat me and so I'm gonna entrust everything to him, he have earned his prize".

Ojin then walked over to Sartorius while a worried Linda was watching him from behind, "Now Sartorius, the future of the world is now in your hands". Sartorius took the briefcase, "Indeed it is your highness".

Sartorius looked at the briefcase and chuckled, now he had everything he needed. Jaden narrowed his eyes when he saw this, knowing that this was as far from good as it could possibly be.

A WHILE LATER,

Jaden and his friends was still at the harbor, sitting there thinking about what had happened not long ago.

Jaden then cried out in frustration freaking the other two out, "AAH! I can't believe that Sartorius most likely without a doubt now possesses the control system for a laser satellite that can burn away all life on the planet, it's one of the few things in this world that the one possessed by the Light of Destruction was NOT allowed to get his hands on".

Syrus looked down troubled, "Yeah I know Jay, but what can we do about it? I mean it's not like we can tell them to hand the briefcase over to us". Hassleberry sighed before he nodded while looking troubled as well.

Jaden were just as confused about how to get the control system away from Sartorius as they were. But just as he was about to say something so did they hear footsteps that came closer to them.

They turned around and saw a man in a costume that looked like a red armor with a black cape and a Duel Disk on his arm stand there, "Jaden Yuki, I'm the professional duelist nicknamed 'The Warrior of Victory' and I'm here to challenge you to a duel".

Jaden sighed, right now he didn't really feel like dueling anymore but since he hadn't dueled even once yet, he had to accept this challenge. He stood up, "I accept your challenge".

Moments later they stood across from each other as they placed their decks into their Duel Disks and activated them before they drew their first five cards. Jaden placed his fingers on his deck, "I'll go first". Jaden took and drew his next card and looked at it, "I now summon Elemental Hero Bubbleman in defense mode".

Bubbleman then appeared on the field on a knee with crossed arms, Def: 1200. Jaden then drew two more cards, "And if he's summoned while being alone on the field, I get to draw two more cards".

Jaden looked at the cards he had just drawn, "And now I place one card face down and end my turn". The Warrior of Victory nodded and then placed his fingers on his deck, "It's my turn then".

He then took and drew his next card and looked at it, "First I summon Blue Flame Swordsman in attack mode". Blue Flame Swordsman then appeared on the field, Atk: 1800.

He then pointed towards Bubbleman, "And now Blue Flame Swordsman, destroy his Bubbleman". Blue Flame Swordsman rushed towards Bubbleman and slashed him with his sword, destroying him.

He then grabbed a card in his hand, "Next I place one car face down and end my turn". A card appeared in front of The Warrior of Victory's feet as his turn ended.

Jaden took and drew his next card and looked at it before he placed it in his hand and grabbed another card in his hand, "I now summon Elemental Hero Sparkman in attack mode". Electricity appeared in front of Jaden as Sparkman appeared on the field, Atk: 1600.

Jaden then pressed a button on his Duel Disk, "Next I activate H – Heated Heart, which gives my Sparkman 500 more attack points until the end of this turn". Sparkman, Atk: 1600-2100.

Jaden then pointed towards Blue Flame Swordsman, "And now, attack his Blue Flame Swordsman with Static Shockwave". Sparkman gathered electricity in his hands and unleashed it towards Blue Flame Swordsman and destroyed him, The Warrior of Victory LP: 4000-3700.

Jaden then grabbed a card in his hand, "Next I place a card face down and end my turn". A card appeared in front of Jaden as his turn ended, Sparkman, Atk: 2100-1600.

The Warrior of Victory then drew his next card, "First I play Pot of Greed and draw two more cards". He looked at the cards he had just drawn, "Next I play Black Luster Ritual, and now I sacrifice both my Ninja Grandmaster Sasuke and my Sword Hunter". Both the masked ninja with kunais in his hands and Sword Hunter appeared on the ritual alter before they disappeared, "In order to summon Black Luster Soldier in attack mode".

Black Luster Soldier then appeared on the field, Atk: 3000. Jaden narrowed his eyes, he hadn't expected to face a monster with 3000 attack points so soon. The Warrior of Victory pointed towards Sparkman, "And now Black Luster Soldier, attack his Sparkman with Chaos Blade attack".

Black Luster Soldier slammed his sword into the ground and sent a slash of energy across it towards Sparkman and destroyed him, Jaden LP: 4000-2600. The Warrior of Victory then grabbed a card in his hand, "And now I end my turn with one card face down".

Jaden nodded and drew his next card, however at that moment The Warrior of Victory's face down got flipped face up, "I activate my Call of the Haunted trap card, and I use it to bring back my Sword Hunter in attack mode". Sword Hunter then appeared on the field, Atk: 2450.

Jaden narrowed his eyes, he looked at the card he had just drawn, "I now activate my Fake Hero spell card, which allows me to special summon an Elemental Hero from my hand to the field, however it can't attack and at the end of this turn it returns to my hand".

The Warrior of Victory raised an eyebrow, "You know I'm beginning to wonder why the king of games would be interested in you, because what's the point of that move?"

Jaden grabbed a card, "Because I now summon my Elemental Hero Neos in attack mode". Neos then appeared on the field, Atk: 2500.

Jaden then grabbed another card in his hand, "And next I summon Neo Spacian Air Hummingbird". Air Hummingbird appeared next to Neos, Atk: 800. Jaden then held out his hand, "And next I join together Neos and Air Hummingbird with Contact Fusion".

The Warrior of Victory raised an eyebrow, "What do you mean by Contact Fusion?" Jaden looked at him as he finally got a smile on his face which he hadn't had since this duel began, "It's simple, Neos and Neo Spacians can fuse with each other without a Polymerization card by sending the materials back to my deck, so now Neos and Air Hummingbird, merge to become Elemental Hero Air Neos".

The Warrior of Victory's eyes widened when he saw Neos and Air Hummingbird jumped up in the air and made contact with each other, which caused a bright light to appear, once the light disappeared Neos had a red armor with a bird like helmet and wings, Atk: 2500.

Jaden then got a smirk on his face while he shuffled his deck and placed it back into his Duel Disk, "And now I activate Air Neos's special ability, since you have more life points than me the difference is added to his attack points". The Warrior of Victory got a really shocked look on his face when he heard that, Air Neos, Atk: 2500-3600.

Jaden then pointed towards Black Luster Soldier, "Now Air Neos, take out his Black Luster Soldier". Air Neos sent slashes of energy from his wings towards Black Luster Soldier and destroyed him, The Warrior of Victory LP: 3700-3100.

Jaden then looked at the Warrior of Victory, "Of course, normally I would have to return Air Neos to my extra deck at the end of the turn I summoned him which would leave me wide open for an attack, unless of course I activate my face down Contact Out, so now by sending Air Neos back to my extra deck I can search my deck for the two monsters I used to create him and summon them back to the field".

Air Neos left the field and Jaden took out his deck and looked through it before he grabbed two cards, then Neos reappeared on the field, Atk: 2500. Then Air Hummingbird appeared next to him, Atk: 800.

Jaden then pointed towards Sword Hunter, "And now Neos, attack his Sword Hunter with Cosmic Crush". Neos jumped towards Sword Hunter and then slammed his hand into him like a karate chop and cut him in half, destroying him, Warrior of Victory LP: 3100-3050.

Jaden then pointed at the Warrior of Victory, "Now Air Hummingbird, attack his life points directly". Air Hummingbird flew towards him and pecked him a few times with his beak, Warrior of Victory LP: 3050-2250.

Jaden then held out his hand, "And now by using Air Hummingbird's special ability, I gain 500 points for every card in your hand, of course since you only have one, I'll only get 500".

Air Hummingbird flew up in the air and then a flower appeared from the card in The Warrior of Victory's hand, and Air Hummingbird collected nectar from it and Jaden got surrounded by a green aura, Jaden LP: 2600-3100. Jaden then looked at The Warrior of Victory while he grabbed a card in his hand, "And now I end my turn with one card face down".

The Warrior of Victory looked at Jaden, "I see now a little why the king of games would be interested in you, but it won't help you win, now I draw". He then drew his next card and looked at it.

"First I play Graceful Charity, so now I draw three cards and then I discard two from my hand". The Warrior of Victory drew three more cards and looked at them, he then grabbed the one in his hand as well as one of the ones he had drawn and then placed them into his graveyard.

He then grabbed one of the two remaining cards in his hand, "Next I remove my light attributed Ninja Grandmaster Sasuke from play along with my dark attributed Dark Blade that I just sent there, in order to summon Black Luster Soldier – Envoy of the Beginning".

Jaden's eyes widened when he heard the name and saw how the two monsters of attributes got removed from play and the alternative form of Black Luster Soldier appeared on the field, Atk: 3000.

The Warrior of Victory looked at Jaden, "And if you wonder why I'm using this card, while the Chaos Emperor Dragon is forbidden from tournaments, the Black Luster Soldier has never been forbidden because of its rarity".

He then grabbed the last card in his hand, "Next I play the card that will give me the victory, I equip my Black Luster Soldier with Lightning Blade which increases his attack points by 800". The sword in Black Luster Soldier's hand got replaced by the Lightning Blade, Atk: 3000-3800.

Syrus's eyes widened, "3800 attack points? And if it destroys a monster in battle it can attack a second time, which means this might be the end". Hassleberry shook his head, "I don't think so, I'm sure that the Sarge has a way to survive this".

The Warrior of Victory looked at Jaden, "You dueled well but this is now over, now Black Luster Soldier, Lightning Luster Blade Attack". The Black Luster Soldier charged up his sword to attack.

Jaden pressed a button on his Duel Disk, "I activate my face down card, my Shrink card, which allows me to cut your monster's original attack points in half until the end of this turn". The intensity of the electricity from the Lightning Blade decreased by half, Atk: 3800-2300.

The Warrior of Victory gritted his teeth, "Fine, Black Luster Soldier attack his Air Hummingbird now". Black Luster Soldier sent a lot of fast thrusts with the Lightning Blade towards Air Hummingbird and destroyed him, Jaden LP: 3100-1600.

The Warrior of Victory narrowed his eyes, "As things are right now, if I attack Neos Black Luster Soldier will only destroy himself, so I end my turn, which means that my warrior's points now returns to normal". Black Luster Soldier – Envoy of the End, Atk: 2300-3800.

Jaden looked at his deck, right now he needed something that could help him, and he could only think of one who could help him now, someone he hadn't used so far in a duel, he just hoped that he would show up now.

Jaden placed his fingers on his deck, "Now it's time to get my game on". Jaden drew his next card and looked at it, it wasn't the card he needed but it could help him, "I now play Pot of Greed, so now I draw two more cards".

Jaden drew two more cards and looked them, he then held up his Duel Disk and the slot for field spells opened up, "And now I activate the field spell card, Neo Space". Then the multicolored space appeared around them all.

Jaden then looked at the Warrior of Victory, "This card now increased the power of my Elemental Hero Neos by 500 points". Neos got covered in an aura, Atk: 2500-3000.

Jaden then held up the other card he had drawn, "And with this card I'm holding here, I now have two possible ways to take you down".

The Warrior of Victory glared at him, "Yeah right, how can you have two ways to take me down with one card?" But even though he said that he was a bit concerned that Jaden seemed to mean it.

Jaden got a smile on his face, "I will show you, I now summon Neo Spacian Grand Mole in attack mode". The ground came up and a mole with a drill around its head appeared, then the drill split in to two halves and placed themselves at the right and left sides of the mole's head, Atk: 900.

Jaden looked at the Warrior of Victory, "Whenever my Grand Mole battles another monster, neither player takes any damage, however both of the battling monsters return's to their owner's hand",

The Warrior of Victory looked worried, "But that would mean, that my Black Luster Soldier would leave the field, and Neos could finish me off". Jaden nodded, "That's right however I plan on doing the other option, so now Neos and Grand Mole, merge together with Contact Fusion".

Neos and Grand Mole jumped up in the air and then made contact with each other and a bright light appeared, then Neos appeared in a brown and green armor with a drill on his right arm, Atk 2500.

Jaden looked at his monster, "Allow me to introduce to you Elemental Hero Grand Neos, and even though he was made through Contact Fusion, as long as Neo Space is on the field he will stick around, oh yeah, and he also gains 500 points". Grand Neos, Atk: 2500-3000.

Jaden then held out his hand, "And now I activate Grand Neos's ability, once per turn, I can choose one of your monsters and return it to your hand, and with only one on your field the choice is obvious".

The Warrior of Victory looked scared when Neos rammed his spinning drill into the ground and opened up a hole, Black Luster Soldier then got sucked into the hole and returned to his owner's hand.

Jaden then pointed at The Warrior of Victory, "Which means that now you're wide open, now Grand Neos, end this duel". Grand Neos then jumped towards The Warrior of Victory and unleashed a blast from his hand that hit him, The Warrior of Victory LP: 2250-0.

Jaden did his signature pose while Grand Neos and Neo Space disappeared since the duel was over, "And that's game, and pretty good one too, no wonder you're a pro".

The Warrior of Victory sank down on his knees, "Out of forty-two duels I have only lost eight, and three of them was to Aster Phoenix, so I planned on getting even with him by defeating the one who has beaten him twice out of three duels, but I guess I wasn't strong enough".

Jaden walked over to him, "Don't feel bad, I mean you dueled quite good, but there is always gonna be times when you meet someone who's better than you, and at times like that rather than getting frustrated I get excited, because then I have to work to improve so I can win the rematch with that person".

The Warrior of Victory looked at him, "I guess you're right, the only thing I can do is work hard to improve my skills and then I will defeat Aster and then you once you join the pro circuit". Jaden smiled and nodded.

The Warrior of Victory got up and reach in within his costume, "Since you won, take these", He then tossed two GX medals towards Jaden who caught them, "So I guess you beat someone before me huh?"

The Warrior of Victory nodded before he turned around, "I guess I will leave the island tomorrow since I'm knocked out of the tournament". He then walked away from Jaden and the others.

Jaden looked at the two medallions he had just won, Syrus and Hassleberry came over to him excited, "That's incredible Jaden, you won two medals at once". Hassleberry nodded excited.

Jaden smiled, "Yeah I guess that's pretty good for my first duel". He then looked up in the sky with a troubled look, "But let's not forget about Sartorius, now he have control over a dangerous laser satellite that is orbiting above us, and we don't know when he might use it". Syrus and Hassleberry nodded, also concerned about that, wondering what they could do about that.

Sheppard is back at Duel Academy and after Jaden defeated Aster in the opening match the GX tournament has begun. Jaden and his friends have all won their first duels and won a few medallions, but now Sartorius has gotten his hands on a laser satellite that can burn down all life on the earth, what will happen next?
