Hiccup and the others were at the Red Dorm having a nice bowl soup.
"Your soup is amazing, Phlegma," said Hiccup holding up his bowl.
"I second that," said Ragnar.
"And I third it," Wartihog added.
"That's very nice of you boys," Phlegma smiled.
Fishlegs just sat there looking at his food hidden silent for quite some time.
Suddenly the door opened and Snotlout entered.
"Well, look who's here," said Hiccup.
"Nice to see this dump hasn't changed," said Snotlout as he sat down at one of the tables far away from Hiccup and the others.
"It's nice to see you back in black again," Phlegma smiled as she placed a train front of him. "Here, have some lunch."
"Burnt fish, rotten seaweed, rancid soup and something I can't even identify," said Snotlout crossing his arms. "You call this lunch."
Phlegma chuckled. "It's good to have you back."
"I'll take that rotten seaweed if you don't want it and the same goes for that soup," Wartihog offered.
"I'll throw it away before giving it to you," Snotlout warned.
"Say what?" Wartihog roared.
"And that only means one thing. The Slifer Red Dorm is back to normal," Hiccup smiled.
"Or as normal things get round here," said Ragnar.
"So what's up with the little dork?" Snotlout asked looking at Fishlegs, who hadn't joined with the festivities. "Hey, Fishlegs! Hello!"
"Is everything all right, Legs?" Hiccup asked.
"Well, yesterday at my dorms on people were talking," Fishlegs sighed. "And they said that they saw my brother getting of the ferry earlier."
"So Wolflegs is here," Snotlout blinked.
"Well I'll be," said Wartihog.
"That certainly explains why you're depressed," Ragnar nodded.
"Yeah, he certainly isn't the same person I faced last year," Hiccup agreed.
Meanwhile at the beach several girls were duelling one another. They only stopped when they heard a noise approaching them.
"Hey, what's that noise?"
They saw something approaching them, but they could make it out.
"Is that a shark?"
They then came into view to reveal Agnar on a jet ski. "It's a shark, all right!" he cried. He then winked at them. "Watch out, girls!"
"It's Agnar!" they cried and ran over towards him.
"Take a picture girls," he said as he zoomed past them. "It will last longer."
Moments later he landed on the beach and changed out of his wetsuit.
"There he years!" a girl cried.
"Let's get him!"
Agnar turned and saw a mob of girls heading straight towards him all of them holding holding their medals.
"My medals are waiting for you!"
"No Agnar take mine!"
Agnar blushed. "Wow, I'm touched. But I can't take a medals, I mean I've already stored in your hearts."
However, that didn't stop them from running towards him.
"It's a stampede," he panicked.
Fortunately the girls ran so hard that they created a dust of sand and Agnar took this opportunity to sit down on the bench, with a newspaper in his hand and wearing a slick disguise.
Once he was sure it was safe, he removed his disguise and then turned towards the campus.
A few days ago, he had a conversation with Stoick in his office.
"Thank you for seeing me," said Stoick. "Mr Hofferson I'm in a bit of a pickle and you may be the only one who can help me. But you mustn't tell a soul."
"What's up?" he asked.
"It's your former friend, Wolflegs," he sighed. "He's gotten himself into a heap of trouble. You see there's something about Ingerman you never knew. He is the sole heir to an ancient birthright known as the Cyber Legacy. But recently he's got his hands on a forbidden deck known as the Underworld Deck.
"I have reason to believe that Wolflegs Ingerman is under the control of an evil force and I can't help him. But you can after all your no stranger to battling inner demons, are you Hofferson? I probably don't need to tell you this, but if Wolflegs goes too far the dark powers of the Underworld Deck will consume him entirely. If he is truly your friend, then duel him and save him from Underworld Deck before it's too late."
Agnar then picked up his bag and made his way over to the clip that overlooked the docks. There he found Wolflegs standing there with his arms crossed as if he was waiting for him.
'I owe you one, Wolflegs,' he said to himself. 'You and your friends totally stuck your necks out for me. Back when I was the one having the identity issues.'
He then remembered the time he was Night Shroud and duelled against Hiccup. It had been close, but Hiccup had been able to defeat him and free him from the dark spirit that controlled him.
'You helped me bring me back from the shadows, now it's my turn to do that to you.'
Wolflegs looked up and saw him and seconds later he walked off. A split second later Wolflegs did the same.
They soon reached the volcano where he and Hiccup duelled when he was possessed.
"All right, so you drag me out here to the middle of nowhere," said Wolflegs who looking slightly impatient. "Now what?"
Agnar started the change out of his normal Obelisk Blue cloths and changed into the same outfit he had worn when he was Night Shroud.
"How quickly through we forget," said Agnar. "This is where Hiccup and I duelled against Night Shroud." Wolflegs narrowed his eyes. "I realise the only way to rescue you from the shadows is to go there."
Agnar then pulled out a deck of cards from his jacket in instantly a dark aura surrounded them. "I'll use this deck to enter into the darkness. Then we'll escape together… at least I hope."
"Entering into the darkness?" said Wolflegs sceptically. "Sounds as if this still some Night Shroud left in you."
"Night Shroud will always be a part of me," said Agnar inserting his deck into his duel disk. "But now I'm in control."
"What are you suggesting?" said Wolflegs as he removed his deck from his jacket and inserted it in his duel disk. "That I'm not in control? I couldn't disagree with you more. I'm in complete control, but you are about to see that for yourself."
"Let's duel!" they yelled in unison.
Agnar: 4000
Wolflegs: 4000
"All right, Wolflegs, I'll start with this," said Agnar as he drew. "Come out Red-Eyes Black Chick!"
Then appearing on the field was in red egg, but seconds later it hatched to reveal a baby red eyes Black Dragon. (ATK: 800/ DEF: 500)
"Now check its special ability, if I send it to the graveyard I can play my Red-Eyes Black Dragon," said Agnar holding out his Red-Eyes Black Dragon card.
Flames covered Red-Eyes Black Chick and seconds later it grew until it became a fully adult Red-Eyes Black Dragon. (ATK: 2400/ DEF: 2000)
Agnar then pulled out a third card in his hand. "Next I play Inferno Fire Blast so that means if I don't attack you with Red-Eyes Black Dragon you take damage equal to his attack points. Hey, Red-Eyes showing what you've got!"
Red-Eyes then fired a red fireball from his mouth and struck Wolflegs with immense force. However, when the flames dispelled it didn't seem to have any effect on him.
Agnar: 4000
Wolflegs: 1600
"I'll place this one card facedown and let you go," said Agnar placing the card in his spell and trap card zone.
"You just managed to pull off quite a powerful combination there," Wolflegs noticed. He then raised an eyebrow. "It makes you think… Could you have done that by yourself? I mean without Night Shroud's help?"
Agnar smirked. "Like I said, he's gone and I won't be controlled."
He looked down at his duel disk and suddenly a dark aura covered it. He knew instantly that he didn't have much time before the darkness completely took over.
Wolflegs could sense his uneasiness. "Something wrong?" he said as he drew. "Just wait. I play my Cyberdark Horn!"
Then suddenly appearing out of the ground was a mechanical dragon. However, unlike the Cyber Dragon this one was much more sinister looking and wires dangling from its body. (ATK: 800/ DEF: 800)
Agnar frowned. 'I've never seen that before.'
"Now I can take one Dragon its level four or below and remove it from either of our Graveyards. Then I can add it to my Cyberdark Horn so I can drain its attack points. And I think I'll take your Red-Eyes Black Chick."
Suddenly a light shone out from Agnar's Graveyard and Red-Eyes Black Chick appeared underneath Cyberdark Horn. Then Cyberdark Horn's claws wrapped around it and the wires that dangled beneath it attached itself to its head.
"Every ounce of energy your monster had is about to get transferred to a real monster," Wolflegs smirked. "And then if it's targeted in defence mode this and has fewer points than Cyberdark Horns than the differences dealt you as damage."
Cyberdark Horn then roared as the power of Red-Eyes Black Chick flowed into it. (ATK: 800-1600)
"Then from my hand I activate the spell card Megamorph," said Wolflegs holding out the spell card. "When I have fewer life points then you this card doubles the original attack points of one of my monsters."
Cyberdark Horn then began to glow purple. (ATK: 1600-2400)
"Now its strength is equal to my Dragon's," said Agnar.
"Actually mine had a slight advantage," said Wolflegs. "You see if I sacrifice your little Chick it can't be destroyed in battle. Now Cyber Horn attack his with Dark Spear!"
Cyberdark Horn opened its mouth and dark energy circled around its horns. Then fired for powerful dark energy blast rate had Red-Eyes.
"I reveal my trap," said Agnar pressing a button on his duel disk. "Negate Attack!"
Suddenly a protective barrier circled round Red-Eyes and Cyberdark Horn's attack was unable to penetrate it.
"I'll place this facedown," said Wolflegs placed a card in his spell and trap card zone. "Looks like you're safer now."
He then smirked at Agnar. "Still in control, Agnar. Or are the shadows starting to take over your mind?"
"See for yourself, my move," said Agnar as he drew.
Suddenly dark energy flowed out of the card and he heard a familiar voice. 'You can't hide from me, Agnar,' said the voice of Night Shroud. 'You and I are one and the same. Embrace the darkness.'
Agnar did his best to ignore the voice, but he knew he had it finish this duel quickly. "All right, time to bring my a game. Later pal."
Red-Eyes then found itself surrounded by a burst of energy.
"I summon Red-Eyes Darkness Dragon!" Agnar announced holding the card out.
Flames then covered Red-Eyes and the dark energy from his cards slowly began to consume him in darkness.
'A wise choice,' said Night Shroud's voice.
Dark clouds began to form in lightning shot out from the sky and the flames around Red-Eyes dispelled. Now standing before them was a more powerful version of Red-Eyes the Red-Eyes Darkness Dragon. (ATK: 2400/ DEF: 2000)
'It was only a matter of time,' said Night Shroud.
Meanwhile Hiccup was duelling against a Pro and had just one. Hookfang had just attacked his opponent directly bringing his life points down to 0.
"I'll be taking those medals now," said Hiccup.
Suddenly the sky darkened and Hiccup looked up towards the volcano and saw that a duel was in progress. He didn't recognise the monster on the left, but he certainly recognised the monster on the right.
"That's Red-Eyes Darkness Dragon," Hiccup stared.
"Hiccup!" Ragnar on the others yelled running towards him.
"Did you hear?" Fishlegs asked. "Agnar is duelling my brother right now."
"So, Wolflegs is here," said Hiccup.
"Ten for, Captain," Wartihog nodded. "But why is he duelling Agnar?"
Ragnar then noticed Red-Eyes Darkness Dragon. "Is that what I think it is?"
Fishlegs looked up and his eyes widened. "That's Red-Eyes Darkness Dragon. That's the same monster he used. You know back when he was… well, having issues."
"You mean back when he was under control of an evil spirit and had Hiccup duel over a dormant Volcano," said Ragnar.
"Uh, yes," Fishlegs nodded.
"Let's go," said Hiccup as they ran towards the volcano. "We don't have much time."
Back on the volcano, Agnar was doing his best to resist the darkness from his deck.
"Since I sent my Red-Eyes Black Dragon to the Graveyard my Red-Eyes Darkness Dragon gains 300 points," said Agnar.
Red-Eyes Darkness Dragon began to glow as power flowed into his body. (ATK: 2700-3000)
"Cyberdark Horn is going down! Darkness Dragon attack now… Inferno Darkfire!" Agnar commanded.
Darkness Dragon then fired a stream of fire directly at Cyberdark Horn, who roared in pain. However instead of him being destroyed, Red-Eyes Black Chick was the one that was destroyed instead.
Agnar: 4000
Wolflegs: 1300
"My Cyberdark Horn is unharmed, he used your Red-Eyes Black Chick as a shield," Wolflegs smirked. "Sorry about that."
"Don't be, since my monster was sent to the Graveyard again Darkness Dragon gains 300 more attack points for a grand total of 3000," said Agnar.
Darkness Dragon glowed again as puller flowed through his body. (ATK: 2700-3000)
"Next I play a spell card," said Agnar hold out a spell card. "It's called Super Rejuvenation! Now for every dragon that I've sacrificed I get a card."
Agnar then drew a card from his deck and then he heard the laughter of Night Shroud again.
"I'll assume you're finished," said Wolflegs as he drew. "So I change Cyberdark Horn to defence mode."
Cyberdark Horn then switch to a defensive position.
"Then I'll Cyberdark Edge in attack mode," Wolflegs continued.
Suddenly appearing on the field was another darkened version of Cyber Dragon. This one bird some similarities with Cyberdark Horn, but it was green and it had sharp edges all over its body. (ATK: 800/ DEF: 800)
"Just like Dark Horn when it's played Dark Edge can go grave robbing and then feed on its victims attack points. So I'll be taking Red-Eyes Black Chick again."
Then just like before Red-Eyes Black Chick shot out of Agnar's graveyard appeared beneath Dark Edge. Then Dark Edge's claws in circled around Red-Eyes Black Chick and suck wires on its head. (ATK: 800-1600)
"And with that little scrub back on my field your Darkness Dragon loses 300 points."
Agnar watched as his Darkness Dragon grew weaker. (ATK: 3000-2700)
"Now Dark Edge's special effect activates, by dividing its own attack points in half it attacks directly!"
Dark Edge then made its way towards Agnar and flew over him. (ATK: 1600-800)
It then flapped its wings and sent a powerful gust of wind straight at Agnar.
Agnar: 3200
Wolflegs: 1300
"I'll place one card facedown and end my turn," said Wolflegs placing the card in his spell and trap card zone.
A dark aura then surrounded Agnar and he could feel the darkness consuming him. "You'll pay for that mark my words," he said as he drew. He looked at the card he drew. "Perfect. Now I activate Dragon Heart!"
He placed the card he just drawn in his spell and trap card zone. "For this turn I can't summon monster to the field, but I can do this select three dragons from my deck and send them to my Graveyard. Increasing Darkness Dragon by 1000 points."
Agnar then sent Troop Dragon, Mirage Dragon and Attachment Dragon from his deck to the Graveyard. Seconds later Darkness Dragon began to glow as power rushed through his body. (ATK: 2700-3700)
"But wait… since free more dragons cards are now in my Graveyard Darkness Dragon gains another 900 points. Now that's what I call power."
Darkness Dragon roared as more power entered into his body. (ATK: 3700-4600)
Agnar then yelled in pain as the darkness began to consume him. "Help me, the shadows were too strong… their taking over."
Agnar then looked at Wolflegs. 'But this may be the only way to save Wolflegs. If his mind is clouded by darkness, I may be able to break through to him if I'm in the shadows with him. Well, there's only one way to find out.'
He then turned to Darkness Dragon. "Say goodbye to your Dark Edge! Darkness Dragon attack now!"
It was at that point that hiccup and the others arrived just in time to see a dark aura surrounding Darkness Dragon just as it was about to attack Wolflegs.
"Look eyes," Fishlegs stared. "There's my brother. Poor guy."
"Just wait," said Hiccup as his eyes fell upon Agnar.
"Infernal Dark Fire!" Agnar yelled.
Darkness Dragon then fired a stream of fire straight at Dark Edge. However, just like when he attacked Dark Horn, Red-Eyes Black Chick was destroyed instead.
"Even though you're Dark Edge wasn't destroyed back to my monster, but am afraid you still lose 3000 points."
"You might want to check your math," said Wolflegs as one of his facedown cards to build itself to be a trap card. "I play this and I tossed out most of my deck!"
Agnar just stared at him as Wolflegs remove most of his deck and then tossed the card in the air. Agnar wasn't the only one as Hiccup and the others just stared at him in bewilderment.
"What did he just play?" Fishlegs stared.
"It's called Power Wall, I can activate it when a monster threatens my life points. Then for each card I scrap Power Wall decreases my battle damaged by a 100 points and since I discarded 30 cards I get to keep the 3000 life points you try to take away."
Agnar just stared at him. "But you—I mean—you treated your card like trash. My Wolflegs, in the old days you respected the card in your deck. I guess I can't get through to you at all."
'Not without my help,' said Night Shroud's voice.
Agnar bent down as he tried to suppress the dark powers that tried to take over, but it was too much for him. "Agnar has left the building, but not to worry Night Shroud is here."
Agnar then raised his head and the same mask he had once worn appeared on his face.
"I'll start with Dragon's Gunfire," he said holding the card out. "Thanks to this spell one face up monster with 800 defence points or less is vanquished. So, your Cyberdark Edge is no more."
Darkness Dragon then fired a fireball and destroyed Dark Edge instantly.
"I think, you've suffered enough," said Night Shroud.
With his turnout over his Darkness Dragon attack points lost the boosted gain from Dragon Heart. (ATK: 4900-3900)
"With only three cards left in your deck there's not much you can do anyway."
"You'd be surprised, Night Shroud," said Wolflegs as he drew. He then revealed his facedown card. "I reveal my trap… it's Call of the Haunted. With this I can bring Cyberdark Edge back from the grave."
Then reappearing onto the field was none other than Dark Edge.
"That was pointless," said Night Shroud dismissively. "It won't stand a chance against my Darkness Dragon."
"I'm not done just yet," said Wolflegs as he grabbed another card in his hand. "I summon Cyberdark Keel!"
"What? You've got another monster?"
Then appearing on the field was a darkened version of Cyber Dragon only smaller and with wires sticking out of it. (ATK: 800/ DEF: 800)
"And next I think I'll play Polymerization. Now I can fuse my Cyberdark Keel, Cyberdark Horn and Cyberdark Edge."
His three monsters entered into a vortex and began to fuse together.
"Awesome," said Hiccup.
"No way," Fishlegs stared.
"Say hello to Cyberdark Dragon!"
Then appearing on the field was a mixture of the three Cyberdark monsters. They had fuse together to form a massive monstrous mechanical dragon. (ATK: 1000/ DEF: 1000)
Night Shroud didn't look worried. "Take more than that to impress me. That thing is too weak."
Wolflegs smirked. "You're forgetting to important words 'special effect'. When it's played it still is a monster from one of our Graveyards after that it exhorted every one of that monsters attack points. So hand over your Red Eyes!"
Night Shroud stared as Red-Eyes shot out from his Draveyard and appeared underneath the Cyberdark Dragon. Then its claws wrapped around Red-Eyes and the wires attached itself to its head. (ATK: 1000-3400)
"Now you're Darkness Dragon loses 300 points," Wolflegs continued.
Darkness Dragon grew weaker with one less dragon in the graveyard. (ATK: 3900-3600)
However, despite this Night Shroud was still not worried. "All that work and my Dragon still stronger than yours."
"But mine has one special ability left. For every single card that in my Graveyard Cyberdark Dragon get a 100 points."
"It what?" Night Shroud stared.
Wolflegs smirked. "I have 37 cards in my grave."
Hiccup and the others just stared.
"So that's why he trashed all his cards," said Hiccup.
"But still, he did need all those points to beat Agnar. He's just showing off," said Fishlegs shaking his head. "That's just… not like Wolflegs."
"And so with 37 cards in my Graveyard Cyberdark Dragon gains 3700 points!" Wolflegs announced.
Cyberdark Dragon roared as is power shot through the roof. (ATK: 3400-7100)
"It has over 7000?" Night Shroud stared.
"Exactly, that's the power of the Underworld Deck," Wolflegs smirked. "Cyberdark Dragon destroy his Darkness Dragon!"
Cyberdark Dragon then let loose a powerful roar so powerful that Hiccup the others were nearly blown off their feet. It struck Darkness Dragon were so much force that it disintegrated and Night Shroud took the full brunt of it.
"It's over Night Shroud!" Wolflegs roared. "Your shadows matches is nothing compared to my power."
Agnar found himself in a dark place and saw a bust of flames in the distance. It took a while for him to focus, but he soon discovered that Wolflegs was standing there.
"Wolflegs? You did it, you defeated the darkness," he stared. "Does that mean you're back?"
"No," said Wolflegs. "The Wolflegs you knew is long gone and he's never coming back."
"Hold on, so your mind is still under control of the shadows?"
"I'm not being brainwashed, I just figured out the truth that's all."
"Yeah so what's the truth?"
"All that matters in life is victory."
"Come on, you don't really believe that, Wolflegs, do you?"
"I'm not playing games Agnar!"
Seconds later he was consumed by the flames.
Meanwhile Hiccup and the others watched as a mask over Agnar disintegrated and the shadows that were in his body left. He then fell to the ground on his knees as the last of his life points faded away.
Agnar: 0
Wolflegs: 1300 (Winner!)
Agnar looked up at Wolflegs as a hologram is faded. "Wolflegs. How did this happen to you?"
Wolflegs gestured there in silence.
"Agnar!" Hiccup yelled as he and the others, minus Fishlegs, rushed towards him.
"You're right soldier?" Wartihog asked.
"That was one rough duel," said Ragnar.
Fishlegs then turned his eyes onto Wolflegs and glared at him.
"Hey, Agnar you are you, right?" Hiccup asked.
Agnar just smiled at him. "Don't worry, Night Shroud is gone for good." He then turned to Wolflegs as he removed his deck. 'Something's got to be messing with Wolflegs' head. People just don't forget everything they believe in. I'm not giving up on you Wolflegs.'
Agnar then got to his feet and grabbed his medal. "Hey, Wolflegs. Good job, guess this GX medal is yours."
He then tossed it over to him, but Wolflegs simply places boot over it. "I could care less about these worthless things. You see, all that matters to me is victory."
Wolflegs then walked off turning his back on them.
"So then, that that mean I can keep the medal?" Agnar asked.
Wolflegs walked towards Fishlegs, who continued to glare at him. Wolflegs didn't even acknowledge him as he walked past.
'Wolflegs, I'm going to duel you and I'm going to win,' Fishlegs said to himself.
