Episode 37: Underworld Breaks Loose; Jaden Comes Back
Back in Yusei's hideout, Crow, Yusei and Sara began looking for Yusei's friends, as Nervin, Rally, Blitz and Tank appeared to greet Yusei, as well as Crow. Sara simply leaves them to be, as she starts to remember those times in which she, Reginald, her brother, Emily and Rafael were good friends, always looking after each other. She quickly snapped out of it, the moment Rally asked about her. Later on, she presents herself, to the group, but they suddenly get cut off by securities looking for Crow and Yusei.
"Oops, my bad I guess." Says Crow, a bit carefree as he gets on his runner "You guys would do better going to my place. I'll catch you up there." He added, as he puts his helmet and heads off to distract securities. Rally and the others begin to move, as Yusei also readies his runner.
"So, you'll go with him right?" asked Sara worried.
"Yeah, just to help him. He's my friend after all." replied Yusei, turning back to Sara as he put his helmet "Rally, please take Sara with you guys, she's new to the neighborhood, so take her to Crow's place with you."
"As you say Yusei." Replied Ray, as he got near Sara.
Sara simply smiled back at Yusei "Well, good luck Yusei. We'll meet up later." Yusei simply nodded, as his runner got out, trying to catch up with Crow. Sara then went with Yusei's friends, heading to the harbor where Crow had his place, near the Daedalus Bridge.
Back in the main Duel Academy, the GX group was facing the Ha Des that stood in front of them. They couldn't believe, especially Chazz, that after the beating he got he would still be on the move and alive at all, since he lost a Shadow Duel "Revived king Ha Des?" asked Chazz, gritting his teeth "So, you're some kind of zombie now?"
"Not only that." said Blair nervous, as she was searching in the Paladins database through her communicator anything regarding him, but finding his card "It's a Synchro monster of level 6 that supports any Zombie monster." Upon hearing this, Ha Des simply began laughing, as the group got nervous.
"Ironic right? I force others into pacts with me, allowing my power to increase." He then smiled deviously, as an insect was moving through his face "Now that I have died and returned thanks to a pact of my own, I have unleashed my true power!" he then lifted his hand, as a skeleton like duel disk appeared in his wrist "Now, who will be the first I kill and send to the Underworld?" he asked, as he was looking at the group. He then smiled as he saw Alexis "Maybe you blondie, since it's because of you that I'm in this condition. You called the Paladins and brought this upon us!" Ha Des simply moved so quickly that he appeared before Alexis, scaring out everyone, especially Alexis, as Ha Des took her hand with force.
"Hey, don't you dare touch her!" shouted someone above the entrance of Duel Academy, as everyone lifted their sights to him. Ha Des then was hit by a card, as he let go off Alexis while she got with the others. Ha Des turned to the brown haired man.
"Just who do you think you are punk?" shouted Ha Des angrily "And don't you know I am the King of the Undead!"
"Heh, that's funny." Replied the man, as he jumped and landed in front of Ha Des. The GX gang simply was lost as they saw the man standing there. The brown haired man standing them was easily identified by them, as his outfit didn't change the most except for the size, since he was now in his 20s.
"Could it be him…" said Syrus quite surprised and happily.
"Man…I can't believe it…is that…" said Tyranno amazed.
"Amazing! I knew he would be here!" sad Blair, jumping in ecstasy as she saw her eternal crush there.
"Humph, better late than never." Said Chazz, annoyed to see his rival there.
"Jaden…is that really you?" asked Alexis, quite surprised and speechless at Jaden's arrival.
Jaden smiled back at her, as everyone was happy to see him "Hello guys. Long time no see." He then moved to take back the card, as well as get near to his friends once again. Ha Des simply was annoyed to see attention taken out of him "Lexis, Sy, everyone. I'm glad to see you guys again."
"Jaden Brother!" shouted both Syrs and Tyranno, as they hugged Jaden, almost leaving him breathless and crushed by them. Just when he got out of it, he was then caught by Blair, as she was quite happy to see him again.
"Whatever, why come back now Jaden?" asked Chazz a bit angry "Ever since the tournament when you saved Rafael's back."
"Well…" said Jaden, getting off the grip of Blair's hug, catching his breath again "I have seen that I can no longer live in solitude. I missed you guys and I decided to look for you. That's when I heard of the tournament and maybe thought I could find you like that, but…" he said, as Ha Des let go a loud roar.
"That's enough, you're interfering with my plans!" he shouted, quite angry at Jaden "I have some business with you Alexis Rhodes; I will defeat you for causing this much troubles!"
Jaden simply stared coldly at Ha Des, as he then turned to Alexis, who looked at him ever since he appeared "Alexis, guys, I know I have made many mistakes in the past. I want to make up for them slowly." he then turned to Ha Des, smiling confidently "Ha Des, I'll be taking Alexis' place in the duel!"
"Jaden wait!" shouted Alexis, heading to him "You can't he's really powerful, not to say we have just reunited and I wouldn't want to lose you again." She added looking down, but then she saw at Jaden's eyes and smile, as she knew he was pretty confident.
"Don't worry about it. I can take this guy on." Replied Jaden as he turned to Ha Des, as a loud flapping noise was heard, obviously of a huge creature. They turned to the sky, as a shadow was covered by the light of the sun, as Felgrand Dragon was landing nearby with its feet, then using its arms as support, for its owner to land in the ground.
"Hey Jaden, good to see you back." Said Rafael as his dragon disappeared back into his card "It seems the communicator and gear I left in your bag before you left was of use."
Jadne simply smiled "Yep, I discovered it and began looking for my friends, but I wanted to meet all of them again. That's why I waited this much to appear." He then turned to Ha Des "But let me first take care of this zombie."
Ha Des then began laughing as he stared at Jaden "Sure…I'll show you the true power of a zombie in that case!"
"Let's duel!" shouted both Jaden and Ha Des, as the duel field was ready.
Revived King Ha Des, 4000 LP, Hand 5; Jaden, 4000 LP, Hand 5
"I'll start the path of the undead! I summon forth Pyramid Turtle in defense mode, then setting a card. Your move punk!" said Ha Des, as his turtle got cover inside its pyramid shell, watching Jaden carefully.
"Well, here I go then." said Jaden, smiling at his opening hand "I'll start the party, by activating my Spell Polymerization, to fuse my Avian and Burstinatrix to Fuse Summon Elemental Hero Flame Wingman!" said Jaden, as his winged male hero entered a vortex with the female heroine, as a green black skinned hero appeared, with a dragon head as its right arm and a single wing "Next I summon my Elemental Hero Woodsman in defense mode." He added, as the wood half hero appeared "Now I attack your turtle with Flame Wingman!" added the Slifer hero as his strong hero attacked the turtle, crushing Ha Des only defense, until a gate opened below the remains of the turtle.
"With my turtle gone I can Special Summon a zombie monster with 2000 defense or less, I choose my Patrician of Darkness!" he said, as a blue skinned vampire with white hair took the battle field "A bit scared of my zombies now so-called-hero?"
"Nah, I can still finish this duel winning." added Jaden, as his hero shot a fire ball at Ha Des, inflicting damage to him "When Flame Wingman destroys a monster in battle, you receive damage equal to the destroyed monster's attack. Your move Thriller zombie." Ha Des simply got annoyed by the comment, as he was about to make his move.
Revived king Ha Des, 2800 LP, Hand 4; Jaden, 4000 LP, Hand 2
"As always, Jaden turned the duel to his side with one of his fusions." said Chazz quite serious "Unfortunately, his hand advantage is low like this. Hope he can pull off a good movement to win soon, or else, the zombies will eat him."
Rafael simply smiled, as he knew from what he saw back in the stadium that Jaden was a new duelist, with new fusions at hand and disposal "He'll win Chazz, he's not the same we met years ago."
"My move punk and I set a monster face down. With that done, I end my turn." Replied Ha Des, as he simply set a monster.
"Well, that's something odd." said Jaden, getting his card "I guess I will activate Woodsman's ability to recycle the Polymerization in my graveyard and add it to my hand." Added Jaden, as Woodsman simply called forth roots that gave Jaden his precious spell card again "Then I'll launch an attack against your Patrician with Flame Wingman! Blazing Dive!" shouted Jaden, as his hero was covered in fire and simply rushed to strike the Patrician, who simply pointed at the face down monster.
"Sorry, but while he's face up in the field, I can select the target of all your attacks now!" interrupted Ha Des as he revealed his face down monster, a Spirit Reaper "And my Spirit Reaper can't be defeated in battle now!" he added, as his zombie death figure survived the assault "With this combo, you won't be able to defeat me!"
"Well, in that case I will set a card. That's all." replied Jaden seriously.
Revived King Ha Des, 2800 LP, Hand 4; Jaden, 4000 LP, Hand 3
"Well, I guess you're quite reckless and stubborn to give in now." Said Ha Des, as he was about to make his move, getting his card "This is just the beginning kid. I set a card and then summon Paladin of the Cursed Dragon in the field!" a zombie version of the Paladin of White Dragon appeared, as his body and that of his dragon were of zombies now.
"Another dragon…" said Rafael, as he disapproved that "Come on Ha Des, dragons only serve you well when they are alive, not dead." Ha Des simply ignored him, gritting his teeth.
"I'll now end my turn fool. Your move." Added Ha Des, as Jaden was making his move.
Jaden got his card and smiled, as it was his ace monster, Neos, but he decided to save it for now "Woodsman ability activates, giving me another Polymerization!" said Jaden as he got the card thanks to the hero "I activate Polymerization to fuse summon Flame Wingman with…"
"Come on Jaden, don't tell me you'll bring Shinning Flare Wingman!" shouted Chazz angry "That move is old for you!" Jaden's friends simply looked a bit pissed off by Chazz comment, but he was right. Jaden had all his moves as he had them before. Jaden simply smiled to his friends.
"Well, this move will change that. I fuse my Flame Wingman with my Sparkman in hand to fuse summon Elemental Hero Great Tornado!" shouted Jaden, as his friends didn't remember him using that fusion before, as a green black hero, with a black cape and orange with silver parts appeared, as a powerful wind current enveloped the battlefield, as Great Tornado sent wind currents at the his adversaries "By the way, when this monster is Fuse summoned, I can halve the attack and defense power of every monster in your side of the field."
After the wind currents finished flowing, the Spirit Reaper was destroyed out of nowhere "No…it can't be, my Reaper was destroyed thanks to that monster's ability!"
"Which means you will sacrifice a different monster now. Great Tornado, attack now!" shouted Jaden, as Great Tornado formed two wind spheres in its hands, releasing two twisters from it that took the Patrician in the attack.
"I select my Patrician as the attack target this time." replied Ha Des chuckling a lot.
"In that case I end my turn once again. The end is closer now." replied Jaden smiling, as Ha Des began giggling.
"What's so funny?" asked Blair annoyed "I can't get why he's laughing at his soon defeat."
"Because he has an ace to play yet." Added Alexis worried, as she was shivering a bit "Jaden lookout please!"
"Not a chance girl…" said Ha Des, as his eyes glared evilly while looking at Jaden "Things are going to get bad here anytime and in Satellite and New Domino City too!" Rafael simply got a bit worried, as he knew Yusei and company were still there and he had an incident that sounded pretty much to what Ha Des said "Now, let me finish this duel!"
Revived King Ha Des, 2800 LP, Hand 3; Jaden, 4000 LP, Hand 3
Ha Des got his car, as he was still smiling deviously, as another insect passed through his face "This gets annoying, but it's a small price for eternal life. Like this monster here! I summon Plaguespreader Zombie in attack mode!" shouted Ha Des, as his hairy undead goblin monster appeared, growling lowly, as it barely stood up while its face was deforming.
Chazz simply began laughing "Is that this guy's trump card?" he asked cynically "Well, I give him credit for using a weak monster against Jaden's hero." The rest of his friends simply looked at each other a bit confused, while Blair and Rafael knew what that monster was capable of doing.
"You plan to take me on with that thing?" asked Jaden surprised "Well, if you feel like it."
"Jaden don't underestimate that card!" shouted Blair worried "That's no ordinary monster, that's a Tuner monster!" she added, as Chazz laugh suddenly shut down, while the rest of the group got surprised too.
Ha Des simply began chuckling, as he then laughed at Jaden and the others "Your friends are right…this card here is what we call a Tuner monster in the big leagues fool, and this one is one of the most dangerous! I will tune up my Plaguespreader Zombie with my Paladin to Synchro summon the beginning of your end!" said Ha Des, as the zombie's body decayed completely leaving as remains the two energy rings that surrounded the zombie paladin, as its body began fading leaving four stars "Synchro Summon, Revived King Ha Des!" shouted as a glowing light absorbed him, as he appeared before Jaden's monsters, smiling deviously.
"You summoned yourself." Said Jaden surprised, but smiling as he stared at Ha Des "That's cool, you won't give up even if the situation turned against you, but that goes the same for me pal."
Ha Des simply laughed, as he still had his duel disk and cards, readying his next move "You're a surprising human, but pathetic in the end. I activate my spell card, Solidarity, which increases the attack power of my field monsters by 800 if they are the same type of the monsters lying in my graveyard, while they are the same type!" he added, as the card showing the Ojama Gang began glowing, as well as Ha Des' grave "Since I run a zombie type deck…my power increases just enough to beat that wind trickster hero!" then his graveyard began shinning, as Plaguespreader Zombie appeared in the field yet again "Now, by returning this card to my hand, I give life back to my little zombie, just to activate Call of the Haunted to bring back my paladin!" he added, as both zombies appeared, making once again the same routine "Now, the result of this tune up is none other than my Doomkaiser Dragon!" he shouted, as a zombiefied version of what seemed to be a Chtonian Emperor Dragon appeared beside Ha Des, roaring as its face was melting, as its spreaded its gray wings "With this monster in here, I can give life to a zombie monster in our graveyards, I return to life my paladin yet again!" he added, as the paladin zombie reappeared "Now, let the nightmare begin! I have 3250 power, my dragon has 3200, and my paladin has 2700. That's enough to crush your entire offensive punk! Let's crush his defenses guys!" he shouted, as he himself defeated Great Tornado, slashing through the hero; the dragon charged a petrified breath, as it fired it at Woodsman consuming it in flames; while the paladin went directly to strike Jaden, pushing him backwards, as he took cover with his duel disk.
"Jaden!" shouted Alexis, Blair, Syrus, and Mana, as he was hit by the dragon, while the rest of their friends were pretty worried as how the duel could end now. Ha Des simply kept laughing at Jaden, as he had the advantage now.
"I'll end my turn with one last set card." Added Ha Des, as he left his last card "Let's see what the legendary Slifer hero can do against me now!" he added, overconfident as he smiled at Jaden "This will be the end of everything!"
Jaden simply kept smiling at Ha Des, as he knew the duel was getting intense "Wow, a good move pal! You really want to push everything to the limit."
Ha Des simply got angry as he was annoyed already "That's it fool, you've drained my last piece of patience!" he shouted, as he summoned a powerful shocking wave of darkness, releasing it to his surroundings, directly ahead of him, wounding everyone of Jaden's friends a bit, as well as him "This is not a game anymore fools, this is war! The world you know will crumble Jaden! And just before you see the end of it, as your last drop of life is taken away" he stopped, while looking at the group as they were standing up again, a bit wounded, staring at Alexis "you'll see her life abandoning her body!"
By hearing those words, Jaden's eyes turned orange, as he used his powers of the Supreme King yet again, staring angrily at Ha Des, gritting his teeth "You dare touch any of them, or even lay a hand on her" he said then pointing at Ha Des, keeping under check his powers, as they were now under his control "and you will pay dearly for it! Don't drag them into this!" he said, as he returned to his turn, getting his card. Alexis simply stared at Jaden, recalling how much they experienced while studying in Duel Academy, as the Shadow Riders, Yubel when she was their enemy, his own powers as the Supreme King and even the powers of Nightshroud and the Truemann incident; Alexis saw the same Jaden, but that maybe changed somehow, as she thought he was protecting her more than before "I activate the Foolish Burial spell card, which lets me send Elemental Hero Necroshade straight to the graveyard for this combo! Comb forth now, Elemental Hero Neos!" added Jaden, as his ace monster was arriving, in its usual heroic pose, ready to strike down Ha Des.
"But wait, that monster is level 7! You can't summon it like that cheater!" replied Ha Des, as he then saw Necroshade's soul, wandering around "That monster…he was the key to that move!"
"Exactly." Replied Jaden, smiling a bit "When Necroshade is in my graveyard, I'm allowed to summon an Elemental Hero without any tribute the monster would normally need." He added, as Neos greeted Ha Des, the military way with his hand with two fingers moved from his head to the air "And now I activate my Spell card, Assault Armor!" added Jaden, as his hero was covered by a yellow energy "With this card, Neos receives a 300 bonus in his attack, but there's something more. By releasing this equip card" he said as Neos's yellow aura was gone, as he felt power running through him now "he can attack twice this turn. Time to end this, right Neos?" asked Jaden, as Neos turned around.
"Of course partner." He said, turning again to Ha Des, as the gang was surprised, except for Syrus, Chazz and Rafael, who were more used to the fact of talking with spirits "Villain you've done quite a lot to this building that Jaden holds dear. You've messed with his friends, even dared t threaten them!" he said, pointing at Ha Des, as the zombie was getting concerned "Now, the time to answer against justice is upon you!" he then jumped to attack Ha Des, who simply laughed at him.
"What a pair of fools! My power is greater than yours!" replied Ha Des as he rushed to face Neos "But even so, I activate my trap card Command of the Undead Ruler!" he said, as a card with the picture of Revived King Ha Des destroying a duelist's monster as an explosion hit him was showed "This card allows me to reduce your LP by the amount of a destroyed by battle monster, as long as Revived King Ha Des is in the field!" he added, as he was ready to crush Neos "With this move I will win this duel already! Your done for so-called-hero!"
"Jaden, look out!" shouted Alexis, as she was about to cry, while his friends were pretty concerned, as they thought they would lose his friend.
Jaden simply smiled as he discarded a card from his hand. Upon this, in Neos back a pair of white shinning wings appeared as he spread them, getting a lot of energy from Ha Des "Bad move Ha Des, by discarding Honest from my hand, I will win this duel, because Honest gives a power boost equal to the monster he's battling until the End Phase!" he added smiling, as his friends knew that move meant his friend would be safe from anything until the end of the turn.
Ha Des simply was astonished, as he saw how Neos powers reached 5750 points, as he was stroke down by the hero's fist, being pulled outside of the battlefield, as Neos landed by Jaden's side as he then again jumped to attack, this time destroying the paladin, as Ha Des Life Points were depleted, as Ha Des suffered the entire force of the impact, as he lost the duel.
"That's a game. Gotcha'!" aid Jaden, with his famous catchphrase and pose, while Ha Des looked at Jaden angrily and annoyed, as Jaden was greeted by his friends. From above them, a shadowy figure was staring at them, concealing his presence from everyone, looking at Ha Des reaction.
"Jaden you did pretty well!" said Alexis hurrying to hug Jaden, as the others caught up later, with Blair being a bit mad at it, as Chazz was. Alexis then let him go, as she looked a bit blushed "Umm, well, it's nice to see you after so long." She said, trying to keep it low. Jaden simply smiled back at her, taking her hand.
"I missed you a lot Alexis." He said, looking into her eyes, as he suddenly kissed her in her mouth, surprising everyone. As Jaden broke the kiss, Alexis blushed even more, as obviously Chazz and Blair looked disappointed now. Alexis smiled back at Jaden.
"You fools…" said Ha Des, standing up barely "That's it, just gather up for me to end this already!" he shouted, as clouds were forming around, as the sunset was near. The group stopped celebrating, as they were caught off guard, while Ha Des stared at them smiling deviously, as he lost his mind "I'll sink this entire island if needed, as long as I take the lives of you Paladins!" added Ha Des, as his hands were surrounded in a shadow mist "Time to…" he said, until a flash behind him surprised him, as a lightning hit him pretty hard, weakening him a lot, as he got struck down.
"What a shame." said the gray haired man that defeated Alexis and Tyranno the first time above them, as he jumped to the ground by the entrance of the academy "Pathetic that a Dark General has to use such dirty tactics, you have no honor as it seems, you're not trustworthy." He added, standing right by Ha Des side "You disgust me."
Ha Des tried to stand up, as he then got kicked mercilessly by the man "Who do you think you are Michael? Don't challenge me like this! This is your fault in part too!" Michael, the gray haired man simply kept his hands in his pants pockets, staring seriously and coldly at Ha Des, as he stood up after the kick "Don't try to deceive me…I know that your loyalty is faltering!" upon hearing this, Michael's stare got sharper, as Ha Des began shivering in fear "Of course that's not any kind of threat sir…"
"You must have guts to threaten a superior like that." Replied Michael coldly, as he took his right hand from his pocket, revealing a purple colored mark shining in the form of a skull, as Rafael thought he could be a Dark Signer or a Dark General for sure "I can't let you destroy this school. Now, disappear into darkness!" he said swinging his right hand, as a wave of air passed through Ha Des, turning him into dust and spreading it. Michael simply stood there, staring at Rafael as the group looked at him in fear, trembling a bit "You, the white robed one. Tell me, would you happen to be Rafael?" he asked, looking at Rafael. He didn't answered back immediately, as he then stood in the front "What if I am?" he replied coldly. Michael simply smiled at him.
"Because I want to test his skills; just to see if you're capable of defeating the threats to come, the darkness that is approaching." Replied Michael, as Aster arrived later in his airplane, with the other duelists inside as well as Crowler and Shepphard inside "Of course, you're free to decline my challenge. But remember this, if you can't face what is to come, you may lose everything in the end." He then turned his back at Rafael and company, entering Duel Academy's building but stopping before getting inside "If you accept, I'll be waiting for you right here, by midnight. Don't be late if you accept the challenge. There's no threat, nor a reward."
Rafael simply gritted his teeth, concerned of what this man in front of him was getting at "Just who are you?" Michael simply chuckled, as he replied "The name's Michael. I'm one of the Dark Generals and I want to see if this war between light and darkness will reach an end, after all these years." He added, as he got inside, disappearing in shadows.
Back in the Satellite, as time was going by, Sara and the group arrived at the harbor, specifically Crow's place, as they waited for Yusei and Crow to show up. It was an area of small houses built with scarp and other things found in the Satellite, but pretty well built, resistant and more importantly, a home for whoever lived in there. As Tan began thinking that they were captured, Duel Runner's engines were heard nearby, as Sara and Rally knew Yusei and Crow arrived finally. AS Rally began greeting Yusei, the group was surprised by kids that popped out of the houses around, heading to receive Crow there.
Crow and Yusei stopped their runners, as the kids were shouting presents, which annoyed a bit Crow "Hey kids, make a break for it. Anytime you see someone, you ask for the same thing." He said, as a group of kids were surrounding for him "I gave you a few already today, remember?"
"Come on Crow, give us something." Said a kid anxious, as Crow simply smiled.
"Fine, okay. I have no presents for you, but I brought with me the new King and Hero of Satellite, Yusei Fudo!" replied Crow, as he pointed at Yusei, as the kids were pretty surprised to see him there, as they surrounded his runner quicky.
Later one, as the night was falling, Yusei and his friends took a seat around a campfire, Sara sitting by his side while Crow got a few bottles from his house. Yusei was telling his friends of the mess that was coming, as Sara tried to explain of the threats the Paladins foresaw too. Of course, most of them doubted of what Goodwin told him and Sara; after all he kidnapped them to blackmail Yusei, as well as putting him the criminal mark. Yusei simply replied he wasn't sure, but he felt that from his mark and Stardust. Crow began drinking a bit of water "No matter if this becomes a battleground" he then turned to the kids, still playing a bit with Yusei's runner "I'll protect them. No matter the price I must pay." He then turned back to the fire smiling "I'm one of the few that can of course. Yusei" he added, turning to Yusei quite confident "you've got my support as always bud. You too Sara." He added, turning to Sara "I've known you for a short time, but if Yusei trusts you, I can too."
"Thanks Crow, I'm glad to hear that." She replied smiling at him. She then turned to the bridge, wondering what it meant, as she was not born in New Domino City "Say Crow, why is that bridge here incomplete?" she asked, as a girl got in Crow's back, asking him to tell her a story she liked. Crow simply stood up, as he turned to Sara.
"Well, the story she asks for is the same you want to hear after all." He then stood up, as three kids reunited with them, sitting in the ground, as Sara heard Crow "A long time ago, there was a poor island. The people living in there couldn't hope for more, other than staring at the bigger and richer island neighbor to theirs." While Crow made a stop, Sara approached Yusei, a bit curious and whispering.
"Say Yusei, are those two islands New Domino City and Satellite." Yusei simply nodded, as Sara turned to Crow again. Then the kids began arguing, as they were discussing the very same thing, which made Sara look a bit down, as a sweat drop of nervousness was in the back of her head, as she laughed of her own.
Crow then turned back, as he smiled while telling the story "Yep, for you and Sara over there" this made Sara look a bit more down now "this story is about Satellite and the city. And about a legendary man that tried to free Satellite. Even before any of you little kids were born, there was a man that always passed around here, gazing at the city through the ocean. This man always passed this point in a duel runner that nobody knew of, staring at the city from here. Day by day, he would do that. But that stopped one day, all of a sudden."
"Why is that big brother?" asked the girl that was there.
"Because, eventually he understood what had to be done." Replied Crow smiling at her "He began to work on something that would unite both Satellite and the city; he began to work on this bridge." He said, turning to the bridge, as to let Sara know of it "He began building the Daedalus Bridge.
"But it never got finished." Said a kid seriously
"It's impossible to do something like that anyways." said the other one with them. Crow agreed with them, but kept going on.
"Everyone around her thought the same. They began to think of this man as mad, since such a task was impossible. But even so, he never gave up in that dream. Eventually, those who mocked him for this idea began to think that maybe he would be able to do it after all, so they began to lend a hand. For those citizens of Satellite that the tomorrow held nothing, this bridge became a symbol of hope." Crow then stopped, looking a bit down "But of course, there were those that didn't like the idea. They showed up a day and halted the construction of the bridge, looking for the man who started it out. The citizens gave up hope once again after that."
"Those of Sector Security must pay!" shouted Rally, as he got pretty immersed in the story, interrupting Crow. The girl asked Rally 'nicely' to allow Crow to proceed, but Rally was pretty interested in the story, instead asking himself Crow to continue, as Crow looked a bit astonished to him reacting that way.
Crow continued, as he told the kids that eventually the man was found by Security "He was cornered by them, leaving him two options from the ones to choose. Either give in and live the rest of his life in a prison jail, or become a legend while he was alive. Many of this man partners were present that day, as they were sure hope would abandon them, but" said Crow, gazing at the bridge, smiling "instead, he took the path to become a legend. Turning on his duel runner again, he dashed to the incomplete bridge at full speed, astonishing every security, every citizen of the Satellite that was present. That man, unbound of any law, flew that day. From that day onwards, that Duel Runner became freedom, and the man became a legend." Finished Crow turning his sight back to the kids and Rally, as Sara was smiling.
"And what happened then?" asked Rally curious "Did he survived after that?" Crow simply answered no with his head, as rally looked disappointed, but Crow stood up right away.
"Nobody knows what became of that man after that, but at least I choose to think" he then pointed with his right hand to his heart, as the kids did too "In here, he lives on!" they said in unison. After the story, Crow told the kids to go to bed, as they obeyed him, as they teased Rally to do so too, scattering to their rooms right away.
Blister then turned to Yusei, telling him that perhaps that destiny was passed on to someone different, as he meant Yusei and his mark. Yuse simply looked serious, as he replied suddenly that he wasn't meant for that. The group then decided to rest already, everyone readying their beds to sleep, as Crow took Sara to sleep in one of the houses, for her to rest better.
In the middle of the night, Yusei suddenly stood up, as he wasn't asleep, readying his stuff to leave, as he then saw someone waiting for him in his runner, surprising him "Who…"
Sara simply giggled a bit "You thought I would fall for the same trick twice right?" she asked, looking at Yusei "Wherever you go, I'll go with you, even if you don't want to." "But Sara…" he then was interrupted by her.
"You heard Goodwin and Rafael, the Signers and the Paladins are bound to each other." She said, readying her own duel disk "As a Paladin, it is my duty to protect a Signer, no matter what. So please understand me, don't be like Rafael please." She replied, as Yusei understood she felt left behind more than she wanted to be. He simply smiled back at her, letting her know she could go with him. As they were leaving Sara suddenly stopped, to which Yusei asked why.
"Yusei, I'll tell you the reading of the other day." She replied looking really down "I saw you dueling a hooded man, possibly a Dark Signer. The duel was pretty intense, you were ahead by the end but suddenly, a huge shadow appeared, enveloping you and making you crash and end up terribly wounded, you seemed…" she said trembling "…dead." Yusei realized how much Sara cared for him, as she passed her arm to clean some tears in her eyes "Yusei, that's why I want to go. I may be able to help you if that's the case."
"Not only her." Said a voice from behind them, as Crow stared at both of them seriously "Crow…" both replied as Crow still stared at the "Why do you want to leave like that, after all we have been through?"
Yusei was quiet, as he then left Sara behind moving ahead "This is my fight. I don't want to drag you guys into it. You wouldn't understand it." He said while moving onwards as he was stopped again by Crow and Sara.
"You think I can't be of help?" asked Crow coldly, while Sara blocked Yusei's road too.
"Yusei, I know what must be placed in the line. I have taken part in Shadow Duels before, I can take it." She replied, looking seriously at him. Yusei hope for them to be safe, as both Crow and Sara understood, but even so "Yusei, I know what I'm doing. I want to help you in your quest to save the world, because I have to do so too, eventually." Crow then looked at him "I will protect those kids too Yusei. I promised that!"
Yusei stopped, thinking a while "If our intentions are the same in that case…get ready for the worst and follow me my friends." He replied, as Sara and Crow looked happy "Thanks my friends." Added Yusei, as Sara got behind Yusei in the runner and Crow readied the Blackbird, heading to the deepest part of the B.A.D Area of Satellite, Old Momentum; the resting place of the Old Ener-D Reactor that caused an incident many years ago. On the way there, they were surprised by a fog rolling in, as they saw a huge purple shadow, while Yusei's mark began to shine, as Sara's did too.
"Yusei, do you feel that?" asked Sara, staring at the light, as Yusei simply remained quiet. They followed it until the light banished, as they stopped by a card sent directly to them, one Yusei knew of.
"Yusei, so you've come after all!" shouted a voice, as Sara, yusei and Crow turned around to see a hooded person above a pile of junk "You've brought Crow too, I've longed to see you guys again after so long."
"How do you know us?" asked Yusei, as he told Sara to leave his runner and go with Crow, having a bad feeling both of them.
"So you've forgotten me after all." replied the man, as he pulled his arm to take off his hood, revealing a blue whitish haired man with yellow pupils and black eyes, with a criminal red colored mark all through his right eye; Crow and Yusei got astonished to see him, as they knew him.
"It can't be…is that you Kalin?" asked Yusei, still surprised of it. Crow was surprised too "It's him! Kalin Kessler!" he added, as Sara got on the Blackbird, behind Crow, curious of how they knew each other.
Kalin then saw her, smiling "So you brought a Paladin too Yusei. Anyways, I've seen the Underworld thanks to you Yusei, so I'll allow you to pass through the same I passed through!" he added, staring at them while smiling.
"That grudge you have is not right Kalin, you misunderstood the situation!" shouted Crow, still remembering the reason why Kalin hated Yusei.
"KAlin, so you're a Dark Signer, the ones seeking to destroy Satellite…" said Yusei confused as he never expected that. Kalin simply kept smiling deviously, as he put on his helmet and turned on his Duel Runner "Let's see what you've got and start my revenge Yusei Fudo!" he shouted, as his runner was enveloped in a purple aura, that readied the scenario for a Shadow Duel, as Kalin's runner formed the Giant's Nazca line as the field, separating Yusei from his friends "This will be our battlefield Yusei Fudo! Let's settle the score at once!" added Kalin,as he began laughing "Let's duel!"
Rafael: Next time, on Yugioh 5Ds Paladins of Light…
Rafael: Darn it, this guy is strong but so am I!
Michael: The war has started yet again Rafael and you're not ready yet. Darkness and Light shall clash in this world! Many lives have been lost in this foolish war, and I seek to stop that madness!
Alexis: Wait, this aura seems familiar…like that time...
Jaden: It can't be…his powers rival those of Nightshroud!
Michael: Yusei is fighting too now, his suffering will be greater. As I said, the war has just begun. Deployin gthe Secret Weapon! Dark Synchro Summon, my very soul!
Rafael: What did you say?
Jaden: This and more, next time on Yugioh 5Ds Paladins of Light, Episode 38: Revenge and Sorrow, Terrifying Darkness!
Sara: YUSEI, NOOOOOO!
Kalin: HAAAHAHAHHAHAHAHAAAAA! This is the beginning of the nightmare! Hell will break loose now!
Jaden and Alexis: RAFAEEEEEL!
Michael: He who gives up hope, gives up life. If a hero gives it up, the world will follow, too.
New cards of the Day:
Command of the Undead Ruler, Continuous Trap Card (Image: Revived King Hades destroying a monster, as an exploion hits the opponent duelist)
You can only activate this card during your Battle Phase, while you have a face-up "Revived King Ha Des" in your side of the field. If "Revived King Ha Des" destroys a monster by battle, inflict damage to your opponent by the destroyed monster's attack.
Well, the party is about to start now. Next chapter holds some parts of Yusei's due with Kalin and Rafael's due with Michael. And for those Neos fans around here, Neos Wiseman will hit the battlefield later on, as it did in the anime, through Super Polymerization. Oh, and I know Spirit Reaper shouldn't be destroyed by E-Hero Great Tornado, but well, I'm not exactly following the TCG rulings as they dictate, I'm just using a few as they were used in the anime too (ex. Card of Sanctity) and Spirit Reaper was modified this time.
Anyways, there won't be great changes to most rulings. Until next time everyone! Thanks for reading another chapter.
