Chapter 35: Rite of Spirit
-ooo-
The whole gang was still in Jerome's lair in the hotel, making sure he didn't escape."
Claudia then replied, "I want my card and money back, you moron!"
He sighed as he went to a nearby closet and he opened it up with a key and inside was a big bag of money and a duel monsters card in a plastic case and he replied, "Here you go."
Claudia walked up to it and took all the money and the card and she slid the card back into her Extra Deck and placed the money into the backpack she brought.
Ariana then replied, "What was wrong with my eye colors?"
Jerome then replied, "A long time ago, some devil came to me and offered me money, cards and so much more as long as I give him as much as I can. When Raj defeated her in a duel, A spirit entered her body and took her over."
Krugemon then replied, "Why'd you kill those two innocent people?"
Jerome then replied, "I killed them before the devil offered me all of this. I was in Hawaii at the time and that Hong Kong buisnessman was loaded with money and alot more. After I killed him, I stole alot of his families money and clothes. After they found his dead body, I left to go to New York for a new life before I can to New Domino City."
Ariana then replied, "Why'd you kill Alton Norelas?"
Jerome then replied, "When I was robbing someone, he and his friends peeked around the corner and saw me and then I chased after him and slit his throat until he fell down dead and then I left."
Ariana then replied, "You are such a fucking moron, Jerome! You don't deserve freedom anymore."
Jerome then replied, "I know. All the money I ever stole as well the cards and stuff I took from people are in my vault. I'll lead you there."
Krugemon walked up to him and he handcuffed him and he replied, "Just in case you try to get away, you bastard."
"I deserved to be handcuffed for everyone I did.", Jerome quickly said.
Claudia then replied, "Lets go then."
-ooo-
About 5 minutes later in the deep basemenet area of the hideout, there were outside of a large grey door that had 5 keycard slots on it.
Jerome sighed and replied, "All the money and cards I've ever stolened is in this vault. I paided my henchmen with the money I stole and got for myself."
Krugemon took 4 keycards out of his pocket and replied, "You have the last one, I presume?"
Jerome nodded as he took a gold & silver keycard from his pocket and replied, "Yep, I do."
"Any special way they have to be inserted to opened this door, Jerome?", Krugemon asked.
Krugemon then replied, "No. We have to slid all 5 cards into the slots."
Jesse nodded as she slid the first keycards into the slot.
"You're next, Geckler.", Krugemon said to the criminal.
He sighed as slid his card into the final slot and then seconds later, the 5 slots vanished and the large door went down into the ground and the gang was in shock as they looked inside of the vault!
Jesse then replied, "Holy..shit."
The vault was filled to the max with rare cards and money.
Ariana looked at Krugemon and replied, "If they're cards we can use in out decks, can we take and use them?"
Krugemon nodded and replied, "Of course we can. The money goes with us and the cards we don't pick are ours."
Jerome then replied, "10 years of collecting cards leads me to this. Damn."
"You stay out of this, Jerome.", Claudia said to him.
They gang ran into the vault while Krugemon stayed with Jerome.
-ooo-
About a hour later, they each now had cards to use. The remaining cards will be in police property until they're sold. The money would be donated to charities all around the world.
Krugemon then replied, "Exactly how much was in this vault, Geckler?"
Jerome then replied, "About 50 million dollars. I've collected for a long time."
Jesse then replied, "We're ready to go now, Krugemon."
The cop nodded and replied, "Lets go."
They all walked away.
-ooo-
The next day, Jerome was in court, on trial for everything he's done. Noone was hired to help him in court."
The judge looked at the jury and replied, "You all reached a verdict?"
The lead member stood up and replied, "Yes we have, your honor. We found Jerome Geckler...guilty on all charges."
The judge looked at him and replied, "For all the crimes you have commited, Jerome Geckler, I now sentence you to 150 years in prison. Officers, escort him to the prison van."
The guards went to his sides and they took him away.
-ooo-
At Jasmines house, Jasmine and Lady Giselle finished watching Jerome's sentencing.
Giselle then replied, "Thats a fair enough sentence for him."
Jasmine nodded and replied, "Since he's locked up now, I feel much better then before. I'm glad he'll always be locked up in jail. I hope they watched his cell with a close eye. I wouldn't even trust him locked up tight."
Giselle then replied, "You know that they will."
-ooo-
Meanwhile at the abandoned factory, Dr. Weissly, Nell and Zeke were in their main room. They've been wondering where the gang has been the last few days.
Nell then replied, "I heard that rat of a salesman Jerome Geckler has been sentenced to 150 years in prison for his crimes."
Dr. Wiessly then replied, "Good thing too. I hated that asshole so much. I'm glad he's been locked away."
Suddenly, Kridley came to the factory.
Zeke then replied, "Yes, sir?"
Kridley then replied, "The next Shadow Riders comes early tomorrow morning."
Nell then replied, "Who is it?"
Kridley then replied, "Abidos the 3rd."
Nell then replied, "Oh, he used that Spirit of the Pharaoh deck against Jaden Yuki."
Zeke then replied, "It wasen't the best deck, but he did hold against Jaden."
Kridley then replied, "Not a problem. He has a new deck with a much more powerful star monster."
Nell then replied, "What is he using?"
Kridley then replied, "Eh, just another group of Egyptian monsters that are powerful in a duel."
Dr. Weissly then replied, "Good choice for him. They're powerful monsters to use."
Nell then replied, "Even my deck would lose to that kind of deck."
Zeke then replied, "Who is Abidos dueling?"
Kridley then replied, "Jesse Fudo."
Nell nodded and replied, "Good to luck to him. Her deck is really powerful."
Kridley then replied, "With the extra cards he got from us, he'll have the best deck ever."
He slowly vanished into a cloud of black smoke.
Zeke then replied, "I Can't wait to do that trick."
-ooo-
Later that morning at about 4:00 in the morning, Jesse was getting her jogging clothes ready to go. She was only wearing a white t-shirt and a pair of light-blue shorts as well.
Jesse then replied, "Time for some jogging in a hour."
Jesse, come to me in Domino Park, a voice said.
Jesse sighed and replied, "You're a Shadow Rider, right?"
Yes, young lady. Duel me to make me leave you heard., the voice said as well.
Jesse sighed as she went to her desk and took her duel disk and slid it onto her arm and then she wrote a note for her parents and then left her room.
-ooo-
About 10 minutes later, she biked into the middle of the park and a tall man with egyptian clothing was standing across from the fountain and he had a duel disk covered in jewels.
Jesse then replied, "You the one that wanted to duel me?"
The man nodded and replied, "Yes, young lady. I'm Abidos the 3rd, former Shadow Rider under Kagemaru and now a duelist for master Kried."
Jesse then replied, "I read about you. You used that Spirit of the Pharaoh deck."
Abidos then replied, "I know. But Master Kreid gave me a more powerful deck to use for my own. I like this deck better then my old one."
Jesse then replied, "I win and you leave. What if I lose?"
Abidos then replied, "You must serve me and Master Kreid forever."
Jesse nodded and replied, "Okay then. Lets do it."
Both activated their disks and both drew 5 cards.
"Game on!", both yelled out.
(Abidos the 3rd: 8,000LP / Jesse: 8,000LP)
Abidos drew a card and replied," I'll start. I'll set a monster and that'll end my turn."
Jesse drew a card and replied, "I summon my Spear Dragon!"
As she sat the card down, the bat-like dragon appeared (1,900/0).
Jesse resumed, "Attack his facedown card with Cyclone Blast!"
The dragon fired its attack and a tall bald man with a robe appeared (1,200/1,500) and was blasted into pixels when the attack struck him.
(Abidos the 3rd: 7,600LP / Jesse: 8,000LP)
Abidos resumed, "When Gravekeeper's Recruiter is sent to the graveyard, I can add a weak gravekeeper from my deck to the graveyard."
He took a monster card from his deck and added it to his hand and then he reshuffled and slid it back into his disk and then the dragon knelt.
Jesse resumed, "Okay then. I'll set a card and that'll end my turn."
Abidos drew a card and replied, "I activate Allure of Darkness."
He drew 2 cards and took a monster called Gravekeeper's Vassal and slid it into his robe.
Abidos resumed, "I now discard a monster called Gravekeeper's Commandmant to add Necrovalley to it."
He discarded the monster card and he took the field spell and added it to his hand and then he opened his field slot and replied, "I bring us to Necrovalley!"
As he slid the field card into the slot and it closed up, The legendary Necrovalley rose up from the ground.
Abidos resumed, "I now summon my Gravekeeper's Spear Soldier!"
As he sat the card down, a dark warrior wielding a spear appeared (1,500/1,500 - 2,000/2,000).
Abidos resumed, "Attack her weak dragon!"
The warrior went and he stabbed his weapon into the dragons chest, blowing it to shards.
(Abidos the 3rd: 7,600LP / Jesse: 6,000LP)
Abidos smiled and replied, "Take that! I'll set a card and that'll end my turn now."
Jesse drew a card and replied, "I'll set another monster facedown and I'll set another card facedown as well to end my turn."
Abidos drew a card and replied, "I'll set a monster and I'll attack!"
The spear soldier appeared and a Golem Dragon appeared (200/2,000) and the spellcaster quickly retreated.
Abidos sighed and replied, "Lucky you don't lose a monster or lifepoints. I End my turn now."
Jesse drew a card and replied, "I tribute my Golem Dragon for my Luster Dragon #2!"
As the rocky dragon vanished, the mighty wind dragon appeared (2,400/1,400).
Abidos then replied, "Good choice of cards, young lady."
Jesse the replied, "I actrivate Mystical Space Typhoon! With this spell card I can destroy any spell or trap on the field."
Abidos then replied, "Not going to happen. I activate Dark Bribe!"
The spell shattered into pieces and She drew a card.
Jesse resumed, "Okay then. Attack his Spear Soldier!"
The dragon fired its green flames and the Gravkeeper shattered into black shards as the attack struck him.
(Abidos the 3rd: 7,200LP / Jesse: 6,000LP)
Jesse smiled and replied, "Take that! I end my turn now."
Abidos drew a card and replied, "I summon my Gravkeeper's Curse!"
As he sat the card down, another one of the Gravekeepers appeared (800/800 - 1,300/1,300).
Abidos resumed, "When he's summoned, you get knocked for 500 damage!"
Jesse began to glow with a intense, black glow.
(Abidos the 3rd: 7,200LP / Jesse: 5,500LP)
Abidos resumed, "I'll end my turn now."
Jesse drew a card and replied, "I summon my Spined Windworm!"
As he sat the card down, the spiked wyrm appeared (1,900/1,200).
Jesse resumed, "Dragons, attack!"
The dragon fired a blast of green flames and the Gravekeeper let out a moan as the flames struck him.
(Abidos: 6,100LP / Jesse: 5,500LP)
As the flames cleared, the Gravkeeper was still standing.
Abidos resumed, "I discard a card called Charm of Shabti to prevent my Gravekeeper from being destroyed this turn."
Jesse resumed, "Fine with me. Spined Windworm, attack!"
The dragon fired a barrage of spikes from its tail and it struck the dark spellcaster.
(Abidos The 3rd: 5,500LP / Jesse: 5,500LP)
Jesse smiled and replied, "Now we're tied. I'll set a card facedown and that'll end my turn."
Abidos drew a card and replied, "I summon my Gravekeeper's Assailant!"
As he sat the card down, a dark hooded female with a long sword-like knife appeared (1,500/1,500 - 2,000/2,000).
Abidos resumed, "Assailant, attack!"
The assassin went and and the large dragon knelt and she stabbed her sword into the chest of the large dragon, blowing it to shards.
Abidos resumed, "I end my turn now."
Jesse drew a card and replied, "I'll keep my Lindworm in attack mode and I'll set a monster facedown to complete my turn."
Abidos drew a card and replied, "I'll summon my Gravekeeper's Cannonholder!"
As he sat the card down, a gravekeeper with a large red cannon appeared (1,400/1,200 - 1,900/1,700).
Abidos resumed, "I tribute my Curse to give you some damage, little girl!"
The rugged spellcaster vanished and the Cannon-wielding Gravekeeeper fired a blast of black energy that struck Jesse.
(Abidos The 3rd: 5,500LP / Jesse: 4,800LP)
Abidos resumed, "Hoped it hurt. Assilant, Attack!"
The assassin went and the dragon knelt and she stabbed her knife into the dragon and it shattered into shards of light.
Abidos resumed, "Cannonholder, attack her facedown monster!"
The warrior fired a huge blast of black energy and a Masked Dragon appeared on the card (700/800) (1,400/1,100) before the blast blew it to pieces.
Suddenly, a large boney lizard with a skull for a head appeared (1,500/1,200).
Jesse then replied, "This is my Hardened Armed Dragon!"
Abidos nodded and replied, "Okay then. I end my turn now."
Jesse drew a card and replied, "I activate Fiend's Sanctuary!"
Suddenly, a beady token appeared (0/0 x2).
Jesse resumed, "I tribute both for my Tyrant Dragon!"
As the two monsters vanished, the mighty dragon of fire appeared (2,900/2,450).
Jesse resumed, "Lets do it. Tyrant Dragon, attack!"
The dragon launched a wave of flames and the Assilant was reduced to ashes in seconds.
Jesse resumed, "Now your Cannonholder is doomed!"
The huge dragon fired another barrage of flames and the spellcaster and its cannon burst into pieces.
(Abidos The 3rd: 3,600LP / Jesse: 4,800LP)
Jesse smiled and replied, "Just in case you try to destroy my dragon with card effects, don't bother. Since I used Hardened Armed Dragon to tribute summon my high level monster, it can't be destroyed by card effects. I end my turn now."
Abidos drew a card and replied, "I'll set a monster and that'll end my turn."
Jesse drew a card and replied, "Tyrant Dragon, attack!"
The dragon fired another barrage of flames and a Gravekeeper's Spy appeared on the card (1,000/2,000 - 1,500/2,500) and was burned up as the flames struck him.
Abidos resumed, "I get another Spy!"
Suddenly, another one of the Spys appeared (1,000/2,000 - 1,700/2,500).
Jesse then replied, "Fine, I'll take that one down as well!"
The dragon fired another barrage of flames and the 2nd Spy was burned to a cinder and then a 3rd one appeared and knelt (1,000/2,000 - 1,500/2,500).
Jesse resumed, "I end my turn now."
Abidos drew a card and replied, "I Activate Spellbook in the Pot!"
Both drew 3 cards from their decks.
Jesse resumed, "I tribute my spy for my Gravekeeper's Visionary!"
As the spy vanished, a tall gravekeeper with a decorated robe and a staff as well as a golden helmet appeared (2,000/1,800).
Abidos then replied," He gains 200 ATK for each Gravekeeper in my graveyard, plus the bonus from Necrovalley!"
The spellcaster began to glow (2,000/1,800 - 4,300/1,800).
Jesse gulped and replied, "Oh, boy."
Abidos then replied, "Time to do this! Visionary, attack!"
The spellcaster chanted somesort of spell and a blast of black energy came out of him and it struck the huge dragon. It let out roar before it exploded in a blast of fire & soot.
(Abidos the 3rd: 3,600LP / Jesse: 3,400LP)
Abidos then replied, "Take that. I end my turn now."
As Jesse is about to draw a card, she turned to her right and saw her dad & mom come into the park near her.
Jesse then replied, "Mom, Dad!"
Yusei then replied, "Another Shadowrider duel?"
Jesse nodded and replied, "Yep. He's Abidos the 3rd. Jaden beat him."
Yusei nodded and replied, "I know about him. He used to use that power Spirit of the Pharaoh Card."
Akiza then replied, "Looks like he has a much different deck then the one he used against Jaden."
Abidos drew a card and replied, "I'll set a card and I'll let my Visionary destroy your facedown monster!"
The spellcaster chanted again and a Morphing Jar appeared on the card (700/600) before the dark chant blasted the jar to pieces. Both discarded their current hands and drew 5 cards a piece (4,300/1,800 - 4,500/1,800).
Abidos then replied, "I discarded a monster called Gravekeepers Descendant to my graveyard."
Jesse nodded and replied," Okay then."
Abidos resumed, "I end my turn now."
Jesse drew a card and replied, "I activate Heavy Storm!"
The storm began and the cannon was blown into dust and his facedown Dark Illusion lifted up and blew to hundreds of pieces.
Jesse resumed, "Better. I activate Forbidden Chalice!"
The spellcaster let out a moan (4,500/1,800 - 2,000/1,800).
Jesse then replied, "Now I can destroy him easily now."
Jesse resumed, "I summon my Vice Dragon!"
The large purple dragon appeared (2,000/2,400 - 1,000/1,200).
Jesse resumed, "I tribute him for my Strong Wind Dragon!"
As the purple dragon vanished, the large green dragon appeared (2,400/1,800 - 3,400/1,800).
Yusei then replied, "Thanks to Forbidden Chalice, all of Visionary's effects are negated so that he can be destroyed."
Jesse then replied, "They sure are. Attack!"
The dragon fired a huge gust from its wings and the tall spellcaster tried to endure it, but he exploded into a burst of black shards seconds after the attack began.
(Abidos the 3rd: 2,200LP / Jesse: 3,400LP)
Jesse then replied, "Take that! I End my turn now."
Abidos drew a card and replied, "I'll set a monster and I'll set another card facedown and that'll end my turn."
Jesse drew a card and replied, "I activate Pot of Avarice!"
He took his Tyrant Dragon, Hardened Armed Dragon, Luster Dragon #2 and both his Masked Dragons and he reshuffled the cards back into his deck and drew 2 cards.
Jesse resumed, "I'll set a monster and I'll attack your facedown monster!"
The dragon fired another huge gust of wind and a bald Gravekeeper appeared on the card (1,000/1,900) before the wind blew him into shards.
Abidos the 3rd: 700LP / Jesse: 3,400LP)
Jesse gulped and replied, "Not a Gravekeeper's Guard!"
Suddenly, the large dragon vanished and reappeared in his hand.
Jesse then replied, "Damn it! I end my turn now."
Abidos drew a card and replied, "I summon the tuner monster Gravekeeper's Apprentice!"
As he sat the card down, a black-skinned man wielding a black wooden staff and wearing a black robe appeared (900/600).
Abidos resumed, "When he's normal summoned, I can special summon a level 4 or lower Gravekeeper from your my graveyard!"
Suddenly, a Gravekeeper's Spy appeared on the card (1,000/2,000).
Abidos resumed, "I now tune them together!"
Suddenly, Gravekeeper's Apprentice split apart into three white stars, with each one transforming into a green virtual ring. The two rings went through Gravekeeper's Spy, which transformed into four white stars.
"I Synchro summon...Gravekeeper's Elder!"
As he sat the card down, a tall greavekeeper with a sparkly black robe appeared. He had a long staff in his hand and he had a bald head and a white-haired beard as well (2,400/2,300).
Jesse then replied, "Never heard of this card before."
Abidos then replied, "Most duelists haven't heard of it either."
Yusei then replied, "I've seen alot cards, but I've never seen this one before."
Abidos then replied, "This is Gravekeeper's Chiefs father and the true founder of the Gravekeeper clan. He trained him to become a leader of his old clan he brought together."
Yusei then replied, "Wow."
Abidos resumed, "Lets do it. Attack her facedown monster with Ancient Chant!"
The spellcaster began to chant and a Spirit Ryu appeared (1,000/1,000) and was blown into shards as the attack struck the dragon.
Abidos resumed, "I activate his ability. When my Elder destroys a monster in battle, He can attack directly at the cost of half the damage!"

(Abidos the 3rd: 700LP / Jesse: 2,200LP)
Abidos smiled and replied, "Take that! I end my turn now."
Jesse drew a card and replied, "I'll set a monster and that'll end my turn."
Abidos drew a card and replied, "I bring back Necrovalley!"
The pyramid valley appeared again (2,400/2,300 - 2,900/2,300).
Abidos resumed, "Better now. Attack!"
the spellcaster fired a blast of black energy and a Warrior Dai Grepher appeared on the card (1,700/1,600) before he was quickly being blown into pixels. and then Abidos pointed and the Elder began to glow and it fired another dark burst and it struck Jesse.
(Abidos the 3rd: 700LP / Jesse: 750LP)
Abidos smiled and replied, "One more attack and I win! I end my turn now."
Jesse drew a card and replied, "I discard 3 cards to summon my Montage Dragon!"
As she discarded a Tusk Dragon, Prime Material Dragon and a Red Eyes Black Dragon to his graveyard, the large 3-headed masked dragon appeared ?/0 - 5,100/0).
Abidos sighed and replied, "I tried the best I could. End this duel please."
Jesse nodded and replied, "As you wish, Abidos. Montage Dragon, end this duel with Power Collage!"
The spellcaster fired a large blast of energy and the Elder was blown to particles as the attack struck him.
(Abidos the 3rd: 0LP / Jesse: 750LP)
Jesse smiled and replied, "Thats game, Abidos."
Abidos smiled and replied, "It sure is. I enjoyed our duel this morning. Sorry if I woke you up too early."
Jesse then replied, "Its okay with me."
Abidos then replied, "Now, I must leave you all. Good luck against rest of the Shadow Riders, my friends."
He slowly vanished and a lone card fell to the ground.
Jesse walked up to the card and it was a Dragon monster. It was a Synchro monster with a famillar name.
Yusei then replied, "Whats that, Jess?"
Jesse then replied, "Somesort of dragon card. Never heard of it."
She walked to Yusei and showed him the card and he replied, "Not even I heard of that card."
Akiza then replied, "After we get some sleep, We'll look the card up."
The happy famiily left towards the parks exit.
