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

Last time, Sartorius gave the satellite keys to Aster and Jaden so his evil half wouldn't be able to activate the laser satellite. His evil half then brainwashed Alexis even more so she had almost no free will left. She then challenged Jaden to a duel for his key and Jaden accepted. Even though Jaden was pushed into a corner by Alexis quite a few times and the Supreme King appeared for a short time, Jaden managed to win the duel and free Alexis from Sartorius's control. What's gonna happen to the gang next?

Chapter 38- Brother vs brother

Syrus was standing on the coast below the Slifer dorm dueling against an Obelisk blue student and had Submarineroid and Patroid, "You will soon regret that you challenged me to a duel".

The Obelisk student looked at him with a raised eyebrow, "And why is that?" Syrus pointed at Submarineroid , "Well thanks to my Submarineroid's special ability, I'm about to show you why. You see he can sneak past your monsters and attack you directly, now attack him with Subterranean Sneak Attack".

The Obelisk student looked worried when he saw how Submarineroid dove into the ground before it flew past his Gagagigo and Amphibian the Beast and then hit the Obelisk student like a torpedo, The Obelisk student LP: 700-0.

Syrus smiled, "And that's game". The Obelisk student that had gone down on a knee looked up at Syrus with a smile, "Wow that was impressive, what happened to you Truesdale? Not long ago you were hiding in garbage cans and now you're kicking butt and winning medals like crazy, I heard the rumors about your change in attitude but didn't believe it until now".

He got up and tossed a medal towards Syrus who caught it with a smirk, "Nothing happened, I just decided to toughen up a bit". He then began to walk away. But as he was walking up towards the dorm he saw Jaden standing there with crossed arms leaning against the cliff as he looked at Syrus with a smile, "What do you mean nothing changed Sy? You now have a reason to fight, that's what changed".

Jaden moved away from the cliff and walked towards Syrus, "like he said, you have been winning duels and making a name for yourself, not to mention…" He opened Syrus jacket and a few GX medallions fell out, "you have won a lot of GX medallions, all to improve your skills to face Zane, which you're ready to do now".

Syrus looked down on the medallions troubled, "Thanks Jaden, I appreciate your faith in me but I'm not sure about that I'm actually good enough yet".

Jaden went down on a knee and began to pick up the ten medallions that had fallen to the ground, "Why not Sy? I mean you were already good before and your skills are sharper now than ever, you have to face Zane sooner or later so why not now?"

Syrus closed his eyes, "But what if I lose? You remember why I don't have Power Bond in my deck anymore right? I want to prove that I'm good enough to use it, to prove I can be strong without it".

Syrus and Jaden then heard someone talking to them, "And you have done that a lot since your duel against Missy Sy, you have beating a lot of Obelisk students already". They turned around and saw Alexis walking towards them.

As soon as Alexis reached Jaden she grabbed his hand and linked fingers with him before she kissed him on the cheek. Syrus got a little embarrassed when he saw this and rubbed the back of his head while he closed his eyes.

"Okay, ever since you freed Alexis from the brainwashing you two seemed closer than ever, it feels like it's only a matter of time before the two of you cross the final line".

Since Syrus had closed his eyes he didn't notice that Jaden and Alexis blushed intensely, glad that no one had noticed them in their shared room that night. Jaden smack Syrus at the back of his head, causing Syrus to cry out in shock and pain as he looked at Jaden confused.

Jaden had an irritated look on his face, "Okay, say something that embarrassing again and the punishment you guys got from telling Alexis all that stuff while I wasn't there will feel like I only spanked you lightly".

Syrus gulped when he heard but, Jaden had given them quite a beating for telling Alexis about the things she had done and said when she was brainwashed. What was worse was that he had enhanced his strength a bit so he was a bit stronger than normal.

Syrus rubbed his arms, "Please don't, me, Atticus and Hassleberry was sore for two days after that, of course Chazz was sore for four days since he was who told her about what she had said to you during the duel".

Jaden narrowed his eyes, "Yeah and that reminds me, I never got to finish his punishment, thanks for reminding me Sy". Syrus chuckled feeling a little nervous now, afraid that Chazz might not be able to move properly without feeling a bit of pain for a few days soon.

They then heard someone call out to them from above. They looked up and saw Hassleberry standing there with a serious but at the same time troubled look on his face, "Yo soldiers, we got troubled, Zane and Aster bumped into each other in the courtyard and it's about to get ugly. A major battle is about to begin between them",

Syrus looked shocked when he heard that before he began to run up towards the top of the cliff to get to the courtyard with Jaden and Alexis not far behind and Hassleberry followed them as soon as they had gotten up to the top of the cliff.

A WHILE LATER AT THE COURTYARD,

Aster looked at Zane with a smirk, "Hello Zane it's been a while hasn't it, I heard that you changed quite a bit a while after our duel, was losing to me such a big shock to you? So what now, you want revenge against me?" He held up his Duel Disk while Zane just started at him with a cold expression on his face while the students around them looked at the two pro duelists a little worried.

But suddenly they heard someone yell, "Stop, don't do it". They looked to where they heard the voice and saw Syrus running towards them with some of his friends not far behind him.

Syrus soon reached Zane and Aster and got between them, "Aster you can't do this, Zane is not how he used to be, let me take him on instead, I don't think Zane should duel you to get revenge for your last duel".

Aster looked at him, "Uh Sy, he's not really here for revenge on me, I mean I have tried to provoke him for a while now but he doesn't seem affected by my words, all he cares about now is victories". Syrus looked at him shocked before he looked at Zane.

Zane closed his eyes, "That's right, I don't care about that duel, that was the old weak me, and there is no reason to get revenge for that".

Aster looked at him, "Listen Sy, if you really want to duel against Zane then go right ahead, since both of us are pro duelists we can duel at any time, so it doesn't matter if you duel him right now".

Zane looked down at Syrus, "I don't mind it either, it doesn't matter which one of you two I'm gonna duel next, I'm gonna win anyway and rise even higher than before".

Syrus looked at him shocked but then Jaden came up to him with a smile, "Don't worry, you can do this Sy". Jaden walked over to Syrus, "You have been working hard and preparing to face Zane for a while now, and this is your chance".

He then took Syrus deck out of his Duel Disk and began to shuffle it, however what no one noticed was that he snuck a card into the deck right before he began to shuffle it.

He looked at Syrus with a smile as he held out his deck towards him, "This is your chance to duel him and remind about the time when he faced his opponents with respect". Alexis nodded with a smile while Hassleberry had a smirk on his face and gave him a thumbs up.

Syrus nodded with a smile as he took the deck from Jaden, he then turned towards Zane with a determined look on his face, "Alright, let's duel Zane".

Zane looked at Syrus with a hard look in his eyes, "If you're serious about dueling me, then let me show you what true terror is". He then placed a briefcase on the ground and opened it.

Syrus and the others gasped as they saw four metal armbands as well as two metal collars in it, Zane looked at Syrus, "This is shock amplifying devices, it will cause the players pain every time they lose life points, I was reborn as I am now thanks to these things, so if you want to face me, are you willing to face me in a life and death duel, like I did when I was at my lowest?"

Syrus looked troubled, "Life and death duel?" Jaden and Hassleberry looked at each other troubled, Alexis looked at Zane, "Zane, don't you think you're taking this too far? Syrus shouldn't have to face you in a duel like this, it's wrong and…"

However she got quiet when she saw Syrus take one of the collars, "I accept your terms Zane, and I'm gonna get through to you and make you return to your old self again".

Jaden and Hassleberry then placed the collar around Syrus's neck before they put the armbands on his arms while Alexis looked at him worried while Aster helped put the shock amplifiers on Zane. Jaden placed a hand on Syrus shoulder, "I know that you have made your decision Sy so I'm not gonna try and talk you out of this, just be careful".

Syrus nodded at Jaden with a smile, "I will Jay, don't worry I'm gonna win this duel". Jaden nodded as he and Hassleberry walked over to Alexis as both Zane and Syrus activated their Duel Disks before both of them yelled, "Let's duel!"

Both of them then drew their first five cards, Zane then placed his fingers on his deck, "I'll go first". He drew his next card and looked at it, "I summon Infernal Dragon in defense mode". Infernal Dragon appeared on the field, Def: 0. Zane then grabbed a card in his hand, "And next end my turn with one face down, your turn Sy".

Hassleberry looked at Zane confused, "What is he thinking? His dragon has 0 defense points".

Jaden looked at him, "But don't forget Hassleberry, Zane is using that Underworld deck which means that he needs dragons in his graveyard, and I have a feeling that Zane already have one of those Cyberdark monsters in his hand". Hassleberry's eyes widened since he remembered now and looked at Sy worried, he had seen how powerful those Cyberdark monsters were, especially that Cyberdark Dragon, he just hoped that Zane wouldn't get a chance to summon it.

Syrus placed his fingers on his deck, "Then it's my turn now". He then drew his next card and looked at it, "I now summon Truckroid in attack mode". Truckroid then appeared on the field, Atk: 1000.

Zane chuckled, "I see that you're still using that Vehicroid deck, those pathetic toy monsters of yours don't stand a chance against my Underworld deck".

Syrus narrowed his eyes, "Are you sure about that Zane?" He then pointed at Infernal Dragon, "Now Truckroid, attack his Infernal Dragon now". Truckroid drove towards Infernal Dragon and rammed into him and sent him flying up in the air.

Syrus looked at Zane, "Now I got a little surprise for you big bro, I know that you wanted me to send your Infernal Dragon to the graveyard but you can forget about that. When Truckroid defeats a monster in battle it's equipped to Truckroid and its attack points are then added to his".

Truckroid's trailer opened up and Infernal Dragon fell into it before it closed, the only thing sticking out of it was Infernal Dragon's wings, Atk: 1000-3000.

Syrus got a smirk on his face, "Sorry Zane, but I know that in order to draw out to true power of that Underworld deck you need dragons in the graveyard, so I'm gonna make sure that there won't be any dragons in your graveyard".

Syrus then looked at a card in his hand before he grabbed it, "Next I place one card face down and with that I end my turn". A card appeared in front of him as his turn ended.

Zane looked at him, "You said that you're gonna make sure that there won't be any dragons in my graveyard right? I wonder if your plan will work little brother". He then drew his next card and looked at it, "Now I summon Exploder Dragon in attack mode".

A black dragon holding a bomb in its hands appeared on the field, Atk: 1000. Zane then pointed at Truckroid, "And now Exploder Dragon, attack Truckroid".

Syrus looked confused as Exploder Dragon flew up in the air, "But why? Exploder Dragon's attack points is 1000, it can't defeat Truckroid who now has 3000 attack points".

Exploder Dragon then flew so he was right above Truckroid and let go of the bomb and it exploded as soon as it touched Truckroid, destroying him, then a few seconds later so was Exploder Dragon destroyed as well. Syrus who covered his face because of the smoke looked shocked, "What just happened?"

Zane had a smirk on his face, "It's simple really, whenever Exploder Dragon attacks another monster, neither player takes any damage, and then both monsters are automatically destroyed".

Zane then grabbed a card in his hand, "And next I activate this, the spell card Quick Summon, which allows me to summon another monster this turn, so now I summon Cyberdark Horn in attack mode". Cyberdark Horn then appeared on the field, Atk: 800.

Syrus looked worried now, "Ah man, when my Truckroid was destroyed, Infernal Dragon was sent to your graveyard since he was your monster to begin with along".

Zane looked at Syrus with a twisted smirk as a light came out of his graveyard, "That's right, and based on your worried tone, I take it that you know that when Cyberdark Horn is summoned, he can snatch a level 4 or below dragon from either of our graveyards and absorb all of its attack points".

Infernal Dragon then appeared below Cyberdark Horn who trapped the dragon with it legs before it attached its cables to the sides of Infernal Dragon's head, Atk: 800-2800.

Zane then pointed at Syrus, "And now Cyberdark Horn, attack that runt directly". Cyberdark Horn gathered dark energy in his horns before he fired it towards Syrus.

However Syrus held out his hand as his face down got flipped face up, "I activate my trap card, it's called Life Force, so now by paying 400 life points, the battle damage I would have taken becomes 0". A force field formed in front of him as Cyberdark Horn's attack got blocked.

Zane got a smirk on his face, "That may be, but you're still gonna feel the pain from the points you just sacrificed". Syrus then screamed as he got shocked by the collar and the armbands, Syrus LP: 4000-3600.

Zane looked at him with a smirk, "It seems like you have added cards to your deck that allows you to sacrifice a small amount of life points in order to reduce battle damage to 0 but as you can see, even that strategy comes with a price. The pain isn't too much for you is it? Tell me Sy, how long do you think you can last before you fall?"

Zane chuckled as he watched how his little brother was shaking in pain, "By the looks of you, I'd say not too much longer, but that doesn't really surprise me at all".

Syrus glared a little at Zane while he placed his fingers on his deck, "Guess again Zane, I'll be fine". He then drew his next card and looked at it, "Now I summon Submarineroid in attack mode".

Submarineroid then appeared on the field Atk: 800. Syrus narrowed his eyes, "And now thanks to his special ability, Submarineroid is able to bypass your Cyberdark Horn and then attack your life points directly, and now pal launch your Subterranean Sneak Attack".

Submarineroid dove down under the ground while Syrus glared at Zane, "Are you ready for a taste of your own medicine Zane?" Submarineroid then flew towards him like a torpedo, he went past Cyberdark Horn underneath him and then rammed into Zane, Zane LP: 4000-3200.

Syrus looked at Zane shocked, he saw how Zane got shocked by the shock amplifiers but he didn't even flinch, "Doesn't that hurt?" Zane looked at Syrus with a smirk and Syrus took a step backwards worried, "Alright fine, now Submarineroid's other ability activates and he switches to defense mode". Submarineroid then crossed his arms, Def: 1800.

Syrus then grabbed a card in his hand, "And finally place once card face down, and that ends my turn now". A card appeared in front of his as his turn ended.

Zane looked at the shock amplifier on his right arm, "You know it's kinda funny, after a while you actually get used to the pain, after a while it no longer hurts little brother, in fact, it actually makes you feel stronger than before, and now I think about it as anguish anymore, now I think of it as the feeling of victory". Syrus narrowed his eyes, he refused to believe that Zane really meant that.

Zane then placed his fingers on his deck, "And speaking of victory, it's my turn now". He drew his next card and looked at it, "Now I summon to the field Cyberdark Edge in attack mode".

Cyberdark Edge then appeared on the field, Atk: 800, Zane looked at Syrus, "Now it takes my Exploder Dragon from my graveyard and absorb all of its attack points". Exploder Dragon appeared under Cyberdark Edge who trapped it with its legs while attaching its cables to the sides of Exploder Dragon's head, Atk: 800-1800.

Zane then pointed towards Submarineroid, "And now Cyberdark Horn, destroy Submarineroid now". Cyberdark Horn gathered energy in his horns once again and fired it towards Submarineroid.

Syrus held out his hand as his face down got flipped face up, "Not so fast, I activate Cyber Repairer, so now you get to draw one card from your deck and in exchange, Submarineroid can't be destroyed in battle this turn".

Zane narrowed his eyes as he drew one more card, "You may have saved your monster, but that won't help you, you see since Cyberdark Horn has more attack which means that you're gonna take piercing damage now".

Syrus looked at him, "Not if I activate Life Force, now by giving up 400 life points, the battle damage I would have taken becomes 0". Life Force activated, Syrus LP: 3600-3200. Syrus then screamed in pain as he got shocked once again, Hassleberry and Alexis looked at him worried while Jaden clenched his fists.

Zane then looked at Syrus with a smirk, "And now I activate Dark Edge's special ability, you see by cutting its own attack points in half for this turn, it can attack you directly". Cyberdark Edge, Atk: 1800-900. Cyberdark edge flapped with his wings sending strong winds towards Syrus.

Syrus covered his face from the winds, "I activate Life Force once again", Life Force activated once again, Syrus LP: 3200-2800. Syrus then screamed as he got shocked once again.

Zane then grabbed one card in his hand, "Next I end my turn by placing one card face down on the field". A card then appeared in front of him as his turn ended.

Aster looked at Zane shocked, "Oh man this is nuts, I can believe that Zane is willing to even hurt his own little brother like this, how did the man who faced me with pride and respect turn out like this?"

Jaden looked at him, "Do you remember when I said you didn't care who you hurt as long as you found your father's killer? Well this is a result of those actions, you toyed with Zane during your duel and humiliated him before handing him a crushing defeat, he ended up in shock because of that which made him unable to duel like he used to, and while I'm not entirely sure what happened afterwards, something bad must have happened to make him become like this". Aster looked at Jaden before he looked at Zane feeling a little troubled since he knew that Jaden most likely was right.

Syrus looked at Zane as he gasped in pain, "What… are you thinking Zane? This is not how a true duel is supposed to be like, this is just sick".

Zane looked at him, "Just give it some time, trust me Syrus, I felt the same way when I first started dueling in the Underground dueling circuit, but then I discovered the pleasure of pain, and then I realized the truth, dueling is about surviving not about respect, so I threw away my ideas about respect in order to survive".

Syrus looked at him shocked, "What are you talking about Zane? Isn't respecting your opponents your way of life?"

Zane looked at him, "Well ways of life usually changes little brother". Syrus gritted his teeth, "You're wrong, and I'm gonna prove it to you, it's my move now". he then drew his next card and looked at it, "Now I summon Dark Drakeroid in attack mode". A black mechanical dragon with four wings and spikes along its neck and on its knees appeared on the field, Atk: 500.

Zane looked at it while he narrowed his eyes, "I have never seen that card before". Syrus looked at him, "That's because I recently got it from our friend Chumley".

Syrus then pointed at Cyberdark Horn, "Now I activate his ability, you see until the end of your next turn this guy can absorb the current attack points of one machine or dragon type monster on the field, and I choose Cyberdark Horn". Dark Drakeroid roared, Atk: 500-3300. Syrus then grabbed Submarineroid's card, "Next I switch Submarineroid back into attack mode". Submarineroid then got back into attack mode, Atk: 800.

Syrus then pointed at Cyberdark Horn, "And now I'm gonna attack your Cyberdark Horn with Dark Drakeroid". Dark Drakeroid then unleashed dark red flames from its mouth that hit Cyberdark Horn.

Syrus narrowed his eyes as Infernal Dragon got destroyed while Cyberdark Horn remained on the field, Atk: 2800-800. Zane looked at Syrus, "As I'm sure you know, If my Dark Horn would be destroyed in battle I can negate its destruction my sending Infernal Dragon to the graveyard". Zane LP: 3200-2700. He then chuckled as he got shocked by the shock amplifiers.

Syrus narrowed his eyes, "Maybe so but I'm not done yet, now I attack you directly with Submarineroid again". Submarineroid dove down into the ground again and flew past Cyberdark Horn and Cyberdark Edge and struck Zane directly, Zane LP: 2700-1900. Zane just continued to chuckle with a smirk on his face even though he was getting shocked.

Syrus gritted his teeth when he saw that his brother was actually enjoying this, "Now Submarineroid goes into defense mode once again", Submarineroid then crossed his arms again, Def: 1800 Syrus then looked at Zane as he grabbed one of the three cards in his hand, "I end my turn with one card face down, so come on Zane, do your worst".

Zane narrowed his eyes a little with a smirk still on his face as he drew his next card, "Are you sure that you want to see my worst?" He looked at the card he had just drawn then he grabbed another card in his hand, "Now I summon Cyberdark Keel in attack mode".

Cyberdark Keel then appeared on the field, Atk: 800. Jaden gritted his teeth, "That's not good, now he has all three of them on the field". Zane then held up his Duel Disk as a glow came out of his graveyard again, "And now Cyberdark Keel with absorb the power of my Infernal Dragon that you sent back to my graveyard".

Infernal Dragon then appeared on the field again under Cyberdark Keel and it connected its cables to the sides of Infernal Dragon's head, Atk: 800-2800. Zane then turned around the card he was holding, "And next I activate Card of Demise, so now I get to draw until I'm holding five cards, of course then I have to discard my whole hand during my standby phase five turns from now".

Zane then drew four more cards and looked at them, "Now I switch Dark Horn to defense mode". Cyberdark Horn then curled together, Def: 800, Zane then pointed at Submarineroid, "And now Cyberdark Keel, take down that Submarineroid". Cyberdark Keel took and slammed his tail into Submarineroid and destroyed him.

Zane looked at Syrus with a smirk, "That's right, I forgot to tell you something, whenever Cyberdark Keel destroys a monster in battle, you take 300 points of damage, and that's something Life Force can't negate". Syrus then saw how Cyberdark Keel swung his tail at him before it slammed in to him. He then screamed in pain as he got shocked once again, Syrus LP: 2800-2500.

Syrus looked at Zane, "Maybe so, however you triggered my trap, Supercharge". Syrus face down got flipped face up, "Now since you attacked one of my machine monsters, I get to draw two more cards from my deck". Syrus drew two more cards and looked at them before he placed them in his hand.

Zane then chuckled, "That doesn't matter, now by cutting my Cyberdark Edge's attack points in half again he can strike you directly". Cyberdark Edge, Atk: 1800-900, Cyberdark Edge then flapped with his wings and unleashed strong winds towards Syrus.

Syrus who trembled a lot now held up his hand, "I… activate Life Force once again". Syrus then screamed in pain as he got shocked, Syrus LP: 2500-2100. Syrus then fell down on all four in pain. Jaden looked at Syrus worried, "Syrus!"

Zane then grabbed a card in his hand, "And next I end my turn with one card face down, which means that Dark Drakeroid's special ability now end". Dark Drakeroid lowered his head, Atk: 3300-500.

Syrus clenched his fists on the ground, "Zane who are you? I don't even recognize you anymore, I really can't respect you as you are now".

Zane just looked at Syrus with an indifferent look on his face, "Well that's good because I don't either, there is no need to feel respect for anyone else, the only thing worth respecting is victory, since they're the only thing that matters, and I'm also willing to use any tactic to win, even if it means disrespecting my own deck and my opponent, all I care about is winning, and nothing else".

Syrus sobbed as tears began to fall from his eyes, "All I wanted, was for you to become your old self again Zane, but now I don't know if you can, I mean just look at you".

However Syrus soon looked up shocked as he heard Jaden cry out to him, "Don't give up Syrus". Syrus looked at him confused, Jaden had a determined look on his face, "You're feeling pain and suffering through your body and heart right now, but you still got your deck! A duel is not over until the last card is played, keep dueling with respect until the end, and maybe you can actually reach him, you can't lose hope".

Syrus looked at the ground at his glasses that had fallen off earlier when he fell down on all four, he picked them up, duel with respect, I might not be able to beat Zane, but I won't betray my cards, I will keep dueling to the end while having faith there is still some parts of the old Zane left within him, he thought with new determination on his face.

He picked up his glasses and placed them back on his nose and got back up on his feet and looked at Jaden with a smile, "Thanks Jay, I needed that". Jaden nodded with a smile and gave Syrus a thumbs up.

Syrus looked at his deck, Alright this is it, deck don't fail me now, he thought to himself. He then placed his fingers on his deck, "Alright, now it's my move again". He drew his next card and looked at it.

His eyes widened when he saw that he had just drawn his Power Bond card that were supposed to be hidden in his room in the Ra dorm. He then gasped and looked at Jaden as he now understood what was going on, Jaden must have looked for Power Bond and waited for a good chance to add it to his deck again.

Jaden had a smile on his face when he saw Syrus's expression since it told him what card Syrus had just drawn, "Sy, that card, it wants you to use it, it's telling you that your worthy enough to use it, otherwise it wouldn't have shown up right now".

Syrus looked at Power Bond, I won't throw away the way of dueling I learned from Zane, about always respecting your opponent, if he now only duels to win, then I will duel with respect and defeat him here and bring him back to his senses, he thought to himself.

Syrus looked at Zane, "As you said, my Dark Drakeroid's ability ended when your turn ended, and now I can't activate his ability again this turn, also I can't attack with him or switch him to defense mode".

Zane chuckled, "Which means that right now he's pretty much a sitting duck, is what I would say but I'm sure that he still have a few more hidden abilities that will protect him".

Syrus looked at him, "You can say that, you see any battle damage I would take from a battle that involves him is cut in half, also once per turn he can negate his own destruction".

Zane chuckled again, "I see, so even though you have to wait a turn before you can activate his ability again so does he have some protection even though he can't even switch his own battle position".

Zane then closed his eyes with a smirk, "But I doubt that it will matter, after all I could tell what card you just by just looking at your face, it's Power Bond right? Well what are you waiting for, aren't you gonna use it?"

Syrus narrowed his eyes as he grabbed three cards in his hand, "Alright you asked for it Zane, I now activate Power Bond, and with it I now fuse my Dark Drakeroid on my field with Stealthroid and Drillroid in my hand, in order to summon Super Vehicroid Drake in attack mode".

Stealthroid and Drillroid appeared on the field before they got sucked into the vortex and out came a monster that looked a lot like Dark Drakeroid, only a lot bigger, with a humanoid body shape with two long horns on the top of his head, a razor sharp blade on each of his elbows, razor sharp metal claws and two large metal wings with sharp edges that looked like it could even slice a boulder in half, Atk: 2700.

Syrus then looked at Zane, "And now thanks to power bond, Drake's attack points are doubled", Super Vehicroid Drake, Atk: 2700-5400. Syrus looked at Zane, "Of course, at the end phase of this turn, I'm gonna take damage equal to Drake's original 2700 attack points".

Zane chuckled, "So thanks to Power Bond you now have a monster with 5400 attack points huh? I guess that Super Vehicroid Drake is also a card that you have received from Chumley, am I right?"

Syrus nodded, "That's correct, he's a monster that can only be summoned by fusing Dark Drakeroid with two other Vehicroid monsters".

Zane got a smirk on his face, "So it is a monster that only needs one specific monster for the summoning while you can use any other monsters as long as it's two other Vehicroids huh? That's kinda useful since it can be pretty easy to meet its summoning condition then".

Syrus looked at Zane, "Alright Zane, time to end this, now Super Vehicroid Drake, attack Cyber Dark Edge now". Super Vehicroid Drake roared as blue flames covered the blades on his elbows.

He then flew towards Dark Edge and slashed him with both of his wings before he crossed his arms and slashed him with both the blades at the same time in a cross like motion, covering Cyberdark Edge in flames.

Of course Cyberdark Edge remained on the field while only Exploder Dragon got destroyed Atk: 1800-800, "Even though your Edge survived the attack, you still take 3600 points of damage now Zane".

Zane held out his hand with a smirk, "Guess again Sy, because I activate Power Wall and then I discard 23 cards from my deck to reduce the battle damage by 100 points for each card that I discarded". Zane then tossed out 23 cards from his deck, Zane LP: 1900-600. Zane just stood there while he once again looked unaffected by the shocks he was receiving.

Syrus grabbed the last two cards in his hand, "Now I place two cards face down and end my turn". Zane looked at Syrus with a smirk, "You said it yourself, Power Bond comes with a price, you now have to give up 2700 life points, which is more than you have".

Syrus looked at him with a smirk on his face, "maybe so, however I won't be the one who takes that damage, you see once per turn if I were gonna take effect damage, Super Vehicroid Drake's special ability allows him to reflect the damage to you instead".

Super Vehicroid Drake formed a fireball in his hands before he tossed it towards Zane, however Zane chuckled, "I'm also prepared, I now activate the counter trap card Fusion Guard, so now by randomly discarding a fusion monster from my extra deck to the graveyard, I can negate the damage". The fireball got blocked.

Zane held up all of his fusion monsters so the others could see them while the back of them was at him, he then grabbed a card and they saw that it was Cyber End Dragon.

He looked at the card and got a smirk on his face as he placed it into his graveyard. Jaden gritted his teeth, "I think Sy might be in trouble now, he should have taken out Cyberdark Horn instead".

Alexis looked at him, "But then Zane wouldn't have taken any damage, if Zane hadn't had Power Wall and Fusion Guard Sy would have won". Jaden nodded, "I know and I guess we should have known that Zane most likely had defenses to protect his life points, but since Sy couldn't take out any of the three Cyberdark monsters on the field he might be in serious trouble now, if he had taken down Cyberdark Horn he would have gotten rid of two of them".

Alexis looked at him confused, "What do you mean?" Jaden looked at her, "Super Vehicroid Drake has another ability, when it destroys a monster in battle it can automatically destroy another monster on the opponent's field, and the Cyberdark monsters can only save themselves from being destroyed in battle, and that only one time unless they're brought back to the hand and normal summoned again so they get a level 4 dragon from the graveyard equipped to them again".

Jaden looked at Zane, "However Zane willingly sacrifice his deck so he only has one card left, which means that he's certain that he's gonna win this even like this, which makes me believe he can call forth that thing again".

Hassleberry looked at Jaden troubled, "Cyberdark Dragon". Jaden nodded, he knew that Syrus must be in trouble now.

Zane looked at Syrus, "If you have done the math, then you should know that I only have one card left now". Syrus nodded, "Yeah, I know".

Zane got a smirk on his face, "And yet, even with just one card left I'm still gonna beat you". Syrus narrowed his eyes, "And how do you plan to do that?"

Zane placed his fingers on his deck, "Let me show you". He drew his next card and looked at it, "First I summon Luster Dragon in attack mode". Luster Dragon appeared on the field with a roar, Atk: 1900. Zane grabbed Cyberdark Horn, "Next I switch Dark Horn back into attack mode". Cyberdark Horn rose up and roared, Atk: 800.

Zane then grabbed a card in his hand, "And next I activate Warp Beam, so now I target both Cyberdark Horn and Cyberdark Keel, so now by sending two cards to my grave, both of their points decrease to 600 for this turn, but in exchange they can now strike you directly".

Zane sent Luster Dragon and Infernal Dragon to the graveyard, Cyberdark Horn, Atk: 800-600. Infernal Dragon then disappeared from underneath Cyberdark Keel, Atk: 2800-600.

Zane then grabbed a card in his hand, "Next I activate Double Attack and target Cyberdark Horn, so now I send Cyber Dragon from my hand to the graveyard, which means that Cyberdark Horn can attack a second time this turn".

Syrus gritted his teeth, "I activate my face down Emergency Provisions, and so by destroying my face down Wonder Garage, I regain 1000 life points". Syrus face down got destroyed, Syrus LP: 2100-3100.

Jaden looked at Syrus, "It was a good move, even though Sy would be able to survive the four attacks that's coming thanks to Life Force, it was still a good move to increase his points since Wonder Garage wasn't much use to him anyway since he doesn't have anything in his hand".

Zane looked at him, "That was pointless, now I also activate Cyberdark Edge's ability, so now I cut his attack points in half so he can strike you directly as well". Cyberdark Edge, Atk: 800-400.

Zane pointed at Syrus, "And now attack him directly". Cyberdark Horn fired energy from his horns, Cyberdark Keel swung his tail forwards while Cyberdark Edge flapped his wings to create powerful winds.

Syrus pointed at Life Force, "Now I activate Life Force, so I now give up 1200 life points to stop all three of them in their tracks". A barrier formed once again in front of Syrus before he gritted his teeth in pain as he got shocked again, Syrus LP: 3100-1900.

Zane had a smirk, "But don't forget Dark Horn can attack you again this turn". Cyber Dark Horn then fired another blast at Syrus. Syrus held out his hand again, "I use Life Force again". the attack was blocked, of course Syrus cried out in pain as he got shocked again so soon after the last shocked he got from the triple attack, Syrus: 1900-1500.

Zane chuckled, "If you're think I'm done then think again, now I activate my Rebirth trap card". A trap card with a picture of a person with half a human head and half a machine head appeared, "Now this card allows me to transform all the monsters in our graveyards to any type I choose, and I think I choose to turn them all into dragons".

Zane then grabbed one of the last two cards in his hand, "And one more thing Sy, I now activate my Flash Fusion spell card, so now I send my Edge, my Keel and my Horn to the graveyard, so I can summon Cyberdark Dragon in attack mode".

The three Cyberdark monsters then got sent to the graveyard and in their place came Cyberdark Dragon, Atk: 1000. Syrus looked worried, "Cyberdark Dragon, the creature that took down Red-Eyes Darkness Dragon, and since all of the monsters in the graveyard is now dragons…"

Zane had an evil smirk on his face, "That's right, Cyberdark Dragon can now absorb the attack points of one dragon in either of our graveyards no matter what level it has, and since every creature in our graveyards are now dragons, I think I choose my Cyber End Dragon".

Cyber End Dragon appeared on the field and Cyberdark Dragon landed on his back and grabbed a hold him before attaching it's cables to both sides of the middle head, Atk: 1000-5000.

Zane also looked at his graveyard with a smirk, "And let's not forget, he also gains 100 attack points for every card in my graveyard and I have 38 cards there". Cyberdark Dragon roared, Atk: 5000-8800.

Alexis looked shocked, "It has 8800 attack points now? I can see why you were worried about this thing now Jaden, however with Life Force that won't really be a problem for Syrus". Jaden however looked at the last card in Zane's hand, he had a feeling that he knew what card were.

Zane then pointed at Super Vehicroid Drake, "Now Cyberdark Dragon, attack Super Vehicroid Drake now". Cyberdark Dragon opened his mouth and unleashed a roar that created powerful shockwaves that hit Super Vehicroid Drake and destroyed him.

Syrus held out his hand, "I activate the effect of Life Force, so now I give up another 400 points to reduce the damage to 0". A barrier formed in front of Syrus and blocked the shockwaves, Syrus then screamed in pain from the shocks he got from the shock amplifiers, Syrus LP: 1500-1100.

Syrus was gasping in pain, but had a small smile on his face, "That really hurt, but with that you can't attack anymore, which means that I win".

He looked up and then saw to his shock that Dark Horn, Dark Edge and Dark Keel was back on the field, "What? But how…" He then looked in front of Zane and his eyes widened, "Your last card was De-Fusion? But that means…"

Zane had a cruel smile on his face, "It means that I win, just like I said I would, now disappear you pathetic loser, my monsters attack him directly and show him what true pain and terror is".

Syrus could then only watch in horror as the three Cyberdark monsters came towards him since he didn't have enough points left to stop them, their attacks then hit him hard, and then he received the a final shock and he screamed in agony, Syrus LP: 1100-0.

Alexis looked at him worried, "Syrus!" She and Hassleberry ran towards him with Jaden close behind them.

However he passed by Zane and heard him say, "Soon Jaden, you and I will settle this once and for all, because by defeating you once and for all, I can rise higher than I could possibly imagine".

Jaden stopped and looked at Zane as he walked away, completely ignoring his hurt little brother, he just couldn't believe it, Syrus was really hurt and he just walked away from him with a smile.

Jaden then heard Alexis call out to him, "Jaden". He turned around and saw that her on a knee while she placed him on Hassleberry's back with the others students, including Aster, standing around them looking at Syrus a little worried, "We need to get him to the infirmary now". Jaden nodded and ran over to them before they as quickly as they could ran towards the infirmary while Jaden pulled out his PDA to contact Miss Fontaine to inform her what had happened.

LATER THAT EVENING,

Jaden, Alexis and Hassleberry was still in the infirmary next to Syrus, Chazz and Atticus had shown a few times after they heard what had happened to see how things were with him.

Alexis sighed, "It's good that it wasn't as serious as we thought, even though Miss Fontaine said that he might be out cold for a few days, and even after that should rest for a bit". She then looked down with a sad expression, "However, I can't believe that Zane himself did this to Sy".

Jaden looked out through a window, "Zane said that we soon should settle things between us, I guess he plans on dueling me before he leaves the island, so let's see if I can reach him".

Alexis looked at him worried, "Jaden no, you can't…" However she got quiet when Jaden turned his head towards her and she saw that Jaden gritted his teeth while eyes had turned golden, which meant that he was really angry.

Jaden looked out through the window, "There is no talking me out of this Alexis, I'm not just gonna sit around and watch as Zane hurts more people, I'm probably the only one now that can beat Zane and I hope that if I beat him that it will make him realize that what he is doing is wrong".

Alexis looked worried but she nodded as did Hassleberry. Jaden continued to look out through the window, Just you wait Zane, I'm gonna take you down and hopefully bring you back to your senses, he thought to himself.

So Syrus finally dueled against his brother Zane to try and remind him about how he used to be and see if he could make him become that person again, however even though Syrus had a good strategy prepared for Zane's underworld deck so was he in the end defeated, what's gonna happen next?

P.S. Now time for another voting here, do you guys want to see Jaden vs Dr Eisenstein or Alexis facing Bastion to try and fix the mess she made herself by brainwashing him? Of course Jaden's key will be in the danger zone there since Bastion would have been sent by Sartorius to get it.
