*one day, somewhere in a deep, dark forest*

TWF: Uh… guys? Where are we right now? o.o

MotWC: Hell if I know. Let's see… *checks COMP* Oh crap… I forgot to install my Honey Bee app on here before I left the base… Oh well, at least I have Back-Upper installed, so if anything happens, I can just save my game.

AG: Last I remember we just started the battle against Orma and Orpheus. What in Aura's name is going on now?

TWF: But… the epic cliffhangah~ D: What happened to it? Aren't we supposed to see some kaboom?!

MotWC: Yeah, I mean Azure was about to- oh shit! I said nothing!

TWF: What? What is it? o.o

MotWC: Nothing you need to be concerned with… yet.

Fen: Uh… okay?

SD: It scares me that sometimes I seem to be the sanest member of the group.

TWF: Really? That explains the running walkie-talkie over there. *points at a huge walkie-talkie with legs, running away* Waaaaaait~... are we in Wonderland? :D

SD: If this was Wonderland, there'd be a caterpillar smoking a hookah. Nope… This COULD be the Phantom Zone from Superman?

MotWC: Nah, pretty sure this is the Dark Realm. That looked too demonic to be a normal walking walkie-talkie.

SD: Okay, so the moral of the story: in this world, beware of Best Buy and Radioshack.

TWF: I'll see if I can talk to that thing. *approaches to the walkie-talkie like an idiot* Heya, mind telling me where we are right now?

*CHOMP!*

Random South Pole character: OH MY GOSH! THAT THING ATE THE WILD FANG! 8O

SD: *In Cartman's voice* Oh my God, you bastards! You killed Fang!

MotWC: Welp, looks like he's out of the picture.

Fen: Let's just start the chapter while we run for our lives!

MotWC: You guys run. I'll hold this thing off. *demonic tattoos appear on my body as wings sprout from my back* Anyways, enjoy everyone!

TWF: *legs start to run on their own*

Disclaimer: Same thing.


"Sartorius, wherever you are, you better come out!" Aster shouted, as he, Jaden, and Will ran towards the Obelisk White Dorm.

"Remember, you two. If we don't stop him right now, then Sartorius will stop at nothing to bring this world into despair!" Will said, as they reached at the entrance of the dorm.

"Then let's give him a good ol' butt whoopin'!" Jaden grinned as the three of them opened the door and entered the dorm.

As soon as they were inside, it was empty. Only furniture decorated the interior. "Huh… empty." Aster said.

"Not quite…" Will said as they heard footsteps. Sartorius then made his grand entrance; walking down the stairs.

"Welcome everyone." Sartorius greeted, with a hint of sarcasm in his voice. "I was wondering when you'd stop by."

"Sartorius!" Aster shouted. "Your days of causing chaos are over!"

"And I'm here to stop your scheme of overpopulating the world with your cult." Will added. "I'll give you a chance to surrender yourself before things go wrong, Sartorius!"

"And right now, you're outnumbered!" Jaden exclaimed. "Chazz and his bunch are already dealing with the remaining members of your group!"

"You're the only one that stands in our way!" Will said, making Sartorius chuckle.

"Hmhmhmhmhm… you fools… you really think you've won? Well you're wrong. My plans are already set in motion and once I get those Satellite Keys from you, this world shall see The Light!"

"You want the Keys so badly?!" Aster snapped. "Then why don't come down here and get them yourselves?!"

"Chillax, Aster!" Jaden said, "We don't wanna lose our cool."

"Indeed." Will nodded. "It would be best if you keep your head leveled."

"Very well, Aster. If that's how you want to play." Sartorius chuckled, turning his back before he started walking away. "Come with me. I have prepared a grand stage for us to duel."


(Cue Theme KNOCK ON YOUR GATE by Ono Masatoshi)

(Chigau! Zetsubou nado mou shinai mou nigenai~) The scene begins with the Primary Riders and Mana, bound onto the walls with chains as they are in slumber with the Sorcerer insignia on their chests.
(Donna ashita demo ii) The screen pans out, revealing Orma and Sartorius standing on the magic circle as they looked at the portal before them.
(Hitori nanka janai kara~) As the screen zoomed into the portal, it shortly revealed Kurogasa standing in front of the academy.
(Itsuka mirai de kitto aou~) With a serious glance and a wave of his arm, the Secondary Riders, Gaim, Drive, and Tamamo dash towards and Gaim delivered the slash onto the screen, revealing the title. After a brief moment, Tamamo's mirror reflected on the screen, and before moving to the next scene Drive appeared, driving his car Tridoron towards the screen before the screen whited out.

(Kizutsuita kotowa iu na) Jaden looks at the sky with his Neo–Spacians doing the same.
(Itasou na kao mo sunna) Koji does the same thing, looking up in the sky with his Lost Boogie Knights.
(Doushou mo naku natte shimau ze) Kurogasa did the same thing with his Secondary Riders, Gaim, Drive, and Tamamo as they all saw in the night sky fainted images of Sorcerer and Sartorius looking evilly at the three.

(Jikuu no yami ni ochite) Mamori and Marta walked together in the garden. Both Rika and Blair waved happily at the front, getting the two's attention as they replied with their own wave.
(Himei mo agenai de) Syrus, Hassleberry, Bastion and Will turn around and noticed Rock skate past them at the hallway and ended up bumping into the startled Masaru.
(Taikutsu wo kai naraseru no kai?) Both the Akiyama and Hoshiki twins noticed, making them sweat drop.

(Yuuki wa OOTUMACHIKKU mayou mo njanai) As Kaito and Aster close their eyes, different monsters such as X and Zero shot out their cannon busters onto the screen, Saber and Lancer swung their weapons onto the screen, Cloud and Tidus jump forward and clashing their swords onto Blaster Blade and Garmore before the two jumped back and Foodon monsters leaped towards the screen.
(Kimi ga muku hou ga mae da~!) When Kaito and Aster open their eyes, Sartorius and Orma smirked with Cubia behind them, taunting them to come to them. Kurogasa, standing between Kaito and Aster, dashed forward, donning into his sealed Rider armor, with Kaito dashed along, with the spirit of Azure accompanying him.

(Ikou! Mou modorenai michi wo ikeba ii) The scene changes to Jaden and Chazz facing each other in a duel, while Koji went against Bastion who is now part of the Society.
(Mirai ga matte iru! Tatake! Kimi no GATE) When Kurogasa faces Alexis, the latter turns and walks away and Kurogasa runs towards her, stretching his hand forward, trying to reach her.

(Chigau! Zetsubou nado mou shinai mou nigenai~) He was then intervened by more of the Society of Light members, looking at him and the rest of the group with the intent of defeating them in a duel.
(Donna ashita demo ii) Inside the Slifer Red headmaster's room, Yukina prayed quietly, hoping for her son to be alright as Kyoshiro stood by her side.
(Hitori nanka janai kara~) Back at Kurogasa, his sealed Rider form casted off, going into Justice Form and his whole new armor engulfed in light. His wings spread widely and flew towards the awaiting Sorcerer.
(Itsuka mirai de kitto aou~) As Kurogasa flipped forward, delivering the Rider kick to the screen, it shattered away, revealing the characters standing in front of the academy in a casual manner, including the Alexis, Bastion, and Chazz in their Society of Light outfit, with a faint image of the smirking evil Sartorius and Sorcerer behind them, ending the song.


Chapter 49: Ripples of War - Part 2

After walking for a while, they eventually reached a secret room, hidden from the dormitory. As the four walked down the steps, Aster kept his fist clenched, wanting to give his former manager the beating of a lifetime. "Aster, I know you're angry, but at times like this-"

"I know that…" Aster said, interrupting Will. "This bastard caused so much damage and I'm not going to stand aside and do nothing!"

"Even so, we still don't know what Sartorius is truly capable of…" Will suggested. "Even if we make a preemptive strike, he may have something else to protect him."

"Something else?" Jaden asked.

"Recall all of the duels we had against the members of the Society." Will said. "The white aura that surround them, is the main source of their energy. I suspect that all of these auras have returned back to their owner. In this case, Sartorius."

"Divide and conquer, huh? Typical." Aster scoffed. "Except that Geist absorbed a good amount of it when he freed himself. It's possible that whatever he absorbed was destroyed with him from Kaito's fight."

"Here we are… our grand stage." Sartorius said, as the group reached a place with an open space. There was a large statue of a woman with both of her hands cupped on each side of the stairs that led toward her. "This is where we shall have our final battle. All for the Satellite Keys I desire."

"Not gonna happen when I'm around!" Jaden said excitedly, getting ready to activate his duel disk.

"No, Jaden." Aster warned, stepping in front of him. "I'll deal with him myself."

"Aster?" Will said confused.

"Sartorius, I'm the one that caused this whole thing to happen, meaning I'm the only one that can finish this!" Aster challenged, raising his duel disk while pointing at him. "Let's throw down for these Keys!"

"Hmhmhmhm… very well. And once I win, you will see the errors of your ways and be cleansed in the radiance that is The Light!" Sartorius rejoiced.

"One way or another, I'll make you eat your words!" Aster said. He and Sartorius then activated their duel disks, drawing out their starting Hands.


"DUEL!"

Aster: 4000

Sartorius: 4000

"I'll start things off!" Aster declared, drawing out his sixth card. "I'll start things off by Normal Summon Destiny Hero - Diamond Dude!" The ground crumbled in front of Aster, before a fist thrust out from it. With a quick leap, the monster landed in front of him, ready for battle. (4/ATK: 1400/DEF: 1600)

"And here's his effect! I can send the top card of my Deck into the Graveyard and if it's a Normal Spell Card, I can activate it on my next turn!" Aster said, checking the top card on his Deck. "And it's Pot of Greed, so I can use it later! I'll set two cards facedown and I end my turn!"

"Very well." Sartorius said as he drew his sixth card. "I'll begin by playing Arcana Force I - The Magician in ATK mode." As Sartorius played his card, a grey-skinned, alien-like creature materialized in front of the white-garbed man. The Monster wore strange dark clothing that was vaguely jester-themed. (4/ATK: 1100/DEF: 1100)

"The Magician?" Aster asked, as the holographic card started rotating in front of Sartorius. "What's going on? What's he doing?"

"That, my dear Aster, is the effect of the Magician at work." Sartorius explained. "When my Monster is Summoned, the card above me will rotate, and you tell it when to stop. As a result, The Magician's abilities change, depending on its position."

"Alright, then…" Aster responded as he watched the card carefully. "Stop!" When Aster made his call, the card hologram slowed down its rotation until finally it stopped right-side-up.

"Ah, perfect." Sartorius smiled wickedly. "Since the Magician is right-side-up, when a Spell Card is activated, his ATK doubles for the duration of the turn."

"You're kidding!" Aster gasped. "You and your old tricks again!"

"Does it matter?" Sartorius smirked. "I'll set two cards facedown and end my turn." A pair of reversed cards then materialized onto his field.

"Not going to attack me, huh? Well, I'm going to make you regret it!" Aster declared, drawing out his next card. "And Diamond Dude's effect activates. Since Pot of Greed was sent to the Graveyard, I can use it and add two more cards into my Hand!" Aster claimed, drawing out two more cards.

"And remember, The Magician's effect activates since a Spell Card was played, making his ATK double." Sartorius reminded as a magical aura flared around the Arcana Force Monster. (4/ATK: 1100-2200/DEF: 1100)

"Whatever you want to do, it won't change a thing, Sartorius!" Aster declared. "I'll shatter your destiny of so I can create my own!"

"Destiny is something that cannot be trifled with. It's power over everything is absolute." Sartorius chuckled. "You'll learn soon enough."

"Gh… I'll activate Diamond Dude's effect!" Aster declared, checking the top card on his Deck. "Tch, it's Destiny HERO Defender…" Aster muttered, putting the card to the bottom of his Deck. "But I'm not going to waste anymore time! I play Polymerization!" A vortex opened up above the Field, making Diamond Dude look to the sky and leap up high. "I'll fuse Diamond Dude and Disk Commander, so I can Fusion Summon Vision HERO Adoration!" As the two Monsters leaped up high, the swirling vortex combined them together, forming into a dark clad warrior that crossed its arms. (8/ATK: 2800/DEF: 2100)

"Vision HERO?" Sartorius repeated in interest. "I see you've been making some changes to your Deck."

"Sweetness! HEROes in action!" Jaden grinned.

"Of course I've made changes… so I can be prepared to defeat you, Sartorius!" Aster said. "I activate my Trap Card, Call of the Haunted! This lets me fetch my Disk Commander from my Graveyard!" On cue, a black vortex appeared on the ground, and the disk-cladded HERO leaped out from it, taking a defensive stancce. (1/ATK: 300/DEF: 300)

"And that is where I'll have to intervene." Sartorius said calmly as one of his facedowns flipped over. "I activate Mystical Space Typhoon to destroy Call of the Haunted." At his command, a small swirling storm shot out from the Spell Card before covering Aster's trap, obliterating it. This caused the Destiny HERO to disappear, but two holographic disks hovered over Aster.

"Even if you destroy my Disk Commander, since it was successfully Special Summoned from the Graveyard, I can draw two more cards!" Aster pointed out as he drew his cards. "Adoration, strike that Magician down with your Future Vision Kick!"

With a nod, Adoration suddenly appeared right in front of Magician, ready to give the said monster a side kick.

"I'll activate my other facedown!" Sartorius countered as his other set card rose. "Compulsory Evacuation Device! This card will return one card on the Field of my choosing to the owner's Hand, and I choose your Adoration! Since it is a Fusion Monster, it will be returned to your Fusion Deck instead!"

"NO!" Aster exclaimed, as Adoration was suddenly ejected from the Field and returned to Aster's Fusion Deck.

"Now then, is there anything else you'd like to do?" Sartorius asked with amusement.

"I'll set two cards facedown and end my turn…" Aster growled as two more holograms formed on his Field.

"Oh man, he has it hard!" Jaden got out.

"Even though Aster gained the advantage, Sartorius was able to counter it with ease." Will pointed out. "It's as if he can see the future and predict his moves…"

"Hmhmhmhmhm… You shall see for yourself." Sartorius responded to Will before drawing his next card. "I shall begin by summoning Arcana Force III - The Empress." After playing his card, a grey-skinned woman wearing rigid blue armor in the form of a two-piece materialized onto the Field. (4/ATK: 1300/DEF: 1300) Once again, a card appeared above Sartorius' head and slowly rotated.

"Again…?" Aster grumbled.

"Whatever happens, it'll only make things worse for him…" Will commented as the card continued to rotate.

"STOP!" Aster exclaimed as the card slowly came to a stop. Seconds later, everyone released their held breath as the card stopped right side-up. "Dammit, not again!"

"The Empress, in the upright position…" Sartorius noted with a chuckle. "I would strongly advise that you choose your moves carefully on your next turn, Aster. You'll see what I mean soon enough."

"Tch…" Aster hissed.

"Aster, don't let that guy get into your head!" Jaden cheered. "He's messing with ya!"

"I know that!" Aster snapped. "And your cheering doesn't make me feel better!"

"At least his attitude is the same." Will noticed.

"Are you going to attack me or what?!" Aster scolded, to which Sartorius kept his poker face.

"All in due time." Sartorius added calmly. "Now then, I'll activate the Spell Card, Double Summon, in order to call out the faithful companion of my Empress; Arcana Force IV - The Emperor!" A large floating Monster clad in gunmetal grey armor plating with two large arms accompanied by a multitude of smaller arms appeared. (4/ATK: 1400/DEF: 1400) A hologram of The Emperor's card formed above the Arcana Force duelist's head, beginning to rotate like those before it. "I believe you know what happens next."

"Dammit… Stop… now!" Aster called out. The card slowly came to a stop, revealing that, it had landed right-side-up yet again.

"Hm… the Emperor in the upright position." Sartorius noted with amusement. "This effect grants all of my Arcana Force Monsters an additional 500 ATK. And since a Spell Card was activated, The Magician's ATK will double once again." The Emperor gave off a warm glow, causing his allies to increase in power considerably, especially The Magician. (4/ATK: 1100-2200-2700/DEF: 1100) (4/ATK: 1300-1800/DEF: 1300) (4/ATK: 1400-1900/DEF: 1400)

"Oh man, if Aster lets this through, it's over!" Jaden exclaimed.

"The Empress will begin the attack." Sartorius announced. On command, the alien woman built up energy in her chest and launched it at the Destiny HERO duelist.

"I'll activate my trap card, D-Fortune! I'll banish Destiny HERO - Diamond Dude to end your Battle Phase!" Aster said. Diamond Dude's soul then came out of his body, making the latter fall and shatter into pixels before the soul created a diamond barrier that protected all of incoming projectiles.

"A counter for a counter." Will commented.

"That's what you expect from a Pro!" Jaden perked up.

"Anything else you want to do, Sartorius? Or is your turn over?" Aster challenged.

"I'll play Pot of Greed to draw two new cards…" Sartorius said as he played the Spell Card. "Then I'll set two cards facedown to end my turn."

"Time to make a comeback!" Aster declared, drawing out his next card. "I play a new Spell Card, Fusion Substitute!"

"Fusion Substitute?" Jaden and Will asked.

"It works like Polymerization, but with an added bonus… if that ever happens." Aster explained, as three D-HEROes in his hand conjured to materialization. "I'll fuse the Destiny HEROes Dasher, Dunker and Double Dude, so I can Fusion Summon Vision HERO Trinity!" The three Monsters leaped up high into the new vortex, merging together as one. As the new figure descended down, it cracked its metallic red knuckles, ready for a beatdown. (8/ATK: 2500/DEF: 2000)

"Oh yeah! His strongest monster is out!" Jaden exclaimed.

"Second strongest…" Aster corrected.

"Ah, since you've activated your Spell Card, my Magician's ATK doubles once more…" Sartorius chuckled, making Magician's aura seep out. (4/ATK: 1100-2200/DEF: 1100)

"That won't matter! During the turn this card is Fusion Summoned, not only is its ATK doubled, but it can also attack three Monsters at the same time!" Aster exclaimed, as Trinity let out a heroic shout.

Vision HERO Trinity: (8/ATK: 2500-5000/DEF: 2000)

"Trinity, give those Monsters the beatdown of their life! World Crusher!" Aster commanded, as Trinity flew towards the three Monsters and illusions of multiple fists were seen raining down on them.

"I activate my Trap Card, Storming Mirror Force!" Sartorius called out.

"Storming Mirror Force?!" Will parroted.

"This card is very special. When activated, it returns all of your Monsters in ATK mode to your Hand, Aster." the Arcana Force duelist called out as a gale blew through, pushing Trinity back to the wall.

"Not if I do this! Activating Quick-Play Spell Card, De-Fusion! Trinity will split back into three Monsters, all of them being in DEF mode."

Destiny HERO - Dasher (6/ATK: 2100/DEF: 1000)

Destiny HERO - Dunker (4/ATK: 1200/DEF: 1700)

Destiny HERO - Double Dude (6/ATK: 1000/DEF: 1000)

"Of course! Since Storming Mirror Force forces all of Aster's Monsters back to his Deck, it would mean two thing… one of them is securing them from total Hand wastage…" Will analyzed.

"And I can do ithis!" Aster said, reaching his Main Phase 2, as the three Monsters turned into one huge orb, conjuring a familiar dark knight. "I'll tribute three of my Destiny HEROes, to Tribute Summon Destiny HERO - Plasma!"

On cue, the demonic dark knight spread its dark wings, rearing to go for the kill. (8/ATK: 1900/DEF: 600)

"Ah, so you have another surprise for me." Sartorius chuckled. "Well I have one for you as well. Do you remember what I said before during my last turn? That you should be wary of your moves? Well this is where it counts! I activate the effect of my Empress! When you Normal Summon or Set a Monster, I can Special Summon an Arcana Force Monster from my Hand! I choose to Special Summon Arcana Force V - The Hierophant!" On cue, a new Monster made its debut onto the field; a grey-skinned alien wearing white and gold-colored vestments and carrying a staff tipped with an azure-colored crystal sphere. (4/ATK: 1500-2000/DEF: 1500)

"Great… more of this crap." Aster growled as the new card rotated. "Stop right there!" The card slid to a halt, having turned right-side-up.

"I see that The Hierophant is in the upright position." Sartorius chuckled. "With The Hierophant in the upright position, it allows me to destroy cards on your Field up to the number of Arcana Force Monsters I control."

"I see. Whenever it turns upright, Sartorius gains the advantage. If it's upside down, it gives Aster the edge." Will noticed.

"But with Plasma on the field, he negates all of your monster's effects!" Aster countered.

"I'm afraid that's not the case." Sartorius responded. "You see, the effect of my Hierophant cannot be negated."

"What?!" Aster gasped. "Even my Plasma?!"

"If that happens, that'll leave Aster wide open!" Jaden exclaimed, before his set card and Plasma vanished.

"No… NO! Plasma!" Aster shouted, knowing the end was near.

"Peace, Aster. SOON YOU SHALL SEE THE LIGHT!" Sartorius laughed out loud, revealing his true self, as he drew his next card. "Don't you see? You can't fight destiny, no matter how hard you try. Kneel before it and witness THE END!"

"ASTER!" Jaden and Will exclaimed, as Sartorius's Monsters shot their magic towards Aster, taking out all of his Life Points.

Aster: 0

Sartorius: 4000


"UWAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGHHHH!" Aster screamed, as the light engulfed him from the Arcana Forces' combined force. After a while, they could no longer hear him scream and… something else happened.

His expression and complexion turned pale and near-lifeless.

"HAHAHAHAHAHA! Your soul is mine! The Key is mine!" Sartorius laughed, as the said key hovered towards his hand. "Jaden, now it's your turn to lose your soul and key!"

"Make me!" Jaden snapped.

"Hmph, very well…" Sartorius chuckled, as he warped Aster's body to one of the hands of the statue. As soon as he was placed there, the floor beneath the statue opened up, revealing a pool of molten lava underneath. "You care for your friend's precious life, correct? Well, I'm going to make you wager your key!"

"How are you supposed to do that?" Will asked, as the hand on the statue started tilting down on Aster's side.

"Aster!" Jaden exclaimed.

"HAHAHAHAHAHA! The only way to keep him from falling to his death is by throwing the key on the other hand!" Sartorius reminded.

"Ugh… fine!" Jaden said, hesitantly taking out his Satellite Key and threw it to the other side of the hand. This caused the tilt to reverse back to its original position.

"NOW, BOTH OF THEM ARE MINE!" Sartorius exclaimed, using his powers to retrieve it, only to have it blocked by Neos's chop.

"Neos!" Jaden exclaimed.

"Do not worry, Jaden. I'll be sure to guard this key." Neos assured Jaden. "You must defeat him! The Light is getting stronger as we speak!"

"You got it, buddy!" Jaden gave a thumbs-up.

"BAH, another defier wants to challenge me?! You're asking for your demise!" Sartorius's voice was now darker, filled with malice, as he activated his Duel Disk. "Prepare to meet your fate, Jaden Yuki!"

"Alright! Get your game on!" Jaden challenged.


"DUEL!"

Jaden: 4000

Sartorius: 4000

"Jaden, be careful. Don't lose this duel like Aster did…" Will hoped.

"Sartorius, answer me this!" Jaden asked. "Why do you want to destroy this world? Why would Orma want to create despair in others? What kind of goal is that?!"

Sartorius chuckled. "The urge to destroy and the wailing of despair; it lies in the hearts of all! As we witnessed, despair lied in your friend Kurogasa, that same urge also lies in your heart, Jaden. All of us have it."

"What?" Jaden raised his eyebrow.

"What do you mean by that?" Will asked.

"The act of destruction is the destiny established by the universe. And I have come to agree with Orma's ideals; the despair of one's soul brings about internal rebirth." Sartorius explained. "The very moment the two come together, its fate begins to move towards destruction! And only through rebirth from despair can it be saved!"

"You're lying!" Jaden retorted. "Aqua Dolphin told me that the universe was a battlefield for light and darkness!"

"Even if I explained it to you, you would fail to understand." Sartorius paused before he smirked, feeling more confident. "I suppose I shall tell you through our duel!"

"Bring it!" Jaden challenged. "I'll prove to you how wrong you really are!"

"If you're so confident, then you may start us off."

"With pleasure!" Jaden said, drawing out his next card. "I summon Elemental HERO Bubbleman in ATK mode!" Appearing first on the field was the blue-armored HERO. (4/ATK: 800/DEF: 1200)

"Bubbleman right off the bat?" Will looked at his friend in confusion.

"Get this! Since he's the only one on my Field, I can draw two cards!" Jaden explained as his Hand increased. "And after that, I equip him with Bubble Blaster!" Bubbleman's personal weapon materialized on his shoulder before he took hold and kept it steady.

"Nice, this way, Jaden won't receive any damage from battles involving Bubbleman and his blaster will be destroyed instead." Will pointed out.

"I'll end my turn there!" Jaden added.

"I'll turn the Wheels of Fate to my side! Draw!" Sartorius declared, drawing out his next card. He grinned as he immediately played the card. "I summon Arcana Force VII - The Chariot in ATK mode!" Appearing on Sartorius' field was a grey-skinned alien encased in a strange black contraption, reminiscent of armor, which hovered above the ground, with a multitude of mechanical hands protruding from the top of the device. (4/ATK: 1700/DEF: 1700)

"Here we go… the troublesome cards appear…" Will expressed.

"My Arcana Force cards gain different effects dependent upon whether it is upright or reversed. Normally, you would shout 'stop', but as you can see, destiny has established it for us!"

"What do you mean by that?" Jaden asked.

"Didn't you know? Destiny told me that it would stop… upright!" Sartorius declared, and just as he said that, the card stopped upright, surprising Will.

"Whoa…" Will said. "Jaden will suffer the same experience Aster felt…"

"And you said you were a non-believer…" Sartorius smirked. "Chariot, wipe out Bubbleman from existence!" The alien Monster aimed its numerous palms at Bubbleman, firing beam after beam of light energy at the HERO.

"Since your Monster destroyed mine, instead of Bubbleman, Bubble Blaster takes the fall instead! Plus, I don't take any damage!" Jaden explained as his WATER-Attribute HERO dodged the lasers, only to have one of them graze him and knock his blaster from his grip.

"Hm… I've foreseen this." Sartorius kept his smirk.

"What?" Will got out.

"I play my Spell Card, Divination of Fate! If I was unable to destroy an opposing Monster through battle during the Battle Phase, I may Special Summon from my hand a Level 4 or lower Arcana Force Monster!" Sartorius explained as he placed a card from his hand onto his Duel Disk. "Come forth, Arcana Force VI - The Lovers! In DEF mode!" A grey-skinned alien made its appearance on the field, this one being clothed in blue and black robes with pink accents. The creature's hands were rather large and exaggerated, and were pointed in an odd manner. (4/ATK: 1600/DEF: 1600) "And just like before, it will be upright!" Sartorius proudly declared, as the card stopped rotating. "I'll end my turn."

"What's the purpose of having it in that position?" Will pondered to himself, looking at The Lovers.

"It's my turn now!" Jaden exclaimed, drawing out his next card. "From my hand, I activate E - Emergency Call! This lets me add an Elemental HERO from my Deck to my Hand, and I'll choose Avian!"

"Hm?" Sartorius pondered, looking towards Jaden.

"Now, I play Double Fusion!" Jaden declared.

"A Spell card that reduces one's Life Points to Fusion Summon twice, hm?" Sartorius said amused. "That card is quite fitting for you, Jaden."

Jaden: 3500

Sartorius: 4000

"Can it, dude! You don't have the right to say that!" Jaden exclaimed.

"Getting feisty, are we?" Sartorius replied. "Although, that kind of passion allowed me to feel the power of my Wheel of Fate being set into motion… how shall it fare now, I wonder."

Trying his best to ignore Sartorius' words, Jaden continued, "First, I'll fuse Avian and Burstinatrix from my Hand to Fusion Summon Elemental HERO Flame Wingman!" The two HEROes flew into the vortex, Jaden's signature Monsters made its appearance (6/ATK: 2100/DEF: 1200) "Next up in line, my Flame Wingman will fuse with Sparkman in my Hand! With these two, I'll Fusion Summon Elemental HERO Shining Flare Wingman!" In a flash created from the two HEROes flying into the vortex, the upgraded form of Flame Wingman appeared. (8/ATK: 2500/DEF: 2100) "And here's the kicker! My Shining Flare Wingman gains 300 ATK points for each Elemental HERO in my Graveyard, and since there's four of them, his ATK increases by 1200!"

"It can't be!" Sartorius exclaimed as Shining Flare Wingman powered up. (8/ATK: 2500-3700/DEF: 2100)

"Shining Flare Wingman, attack his Chariot!" Jaden commanded. "Shining Shoot!"

The HERO Fusion Monster let out a radiant glow from its body, driving back The Chariot and causing it to shatter into pixels.

Sartorius: 2000

Jaden: 3500

"Gh!" Sartorius growled.

"That's not all! Since my Monster destroyed yours, you take damage equal to your Monster's ATK!" Jaden explained further.

"Gaaaah!" Sartorius wailed in pain, covering himself from the light emitted from Jaden's Monster.

Sartorius: 300

Jaden: 3500

"How's that for a change?" Jaden exclaimed, but oddly enough, Sartorius laughed it off.

"Don't you like it? That sensation, Jaden?" Sartorius asked. "The urge to destroy… it felt good, didn't it? That feeling of destruction. Letting your anger to trounce your opponent was refreshing, wasn't it?"

"I don't get it…" Will spoke up.

"Time and time again, humans have destroyed that which they've created." Sartorius began. "Nations, civilizations, the arts and even their relationship with others… and all because destruction is the urge that lies within all humans! Despair will then find its way into men's hearts, seeking more destruction!"

"That's messed up! You and Orma are wrong!" Jaden retorted.

"Wrong? Then why would humans desire such destruction?" Sartorius questioned. "Because the universe itself is moving towards ruin!"

"No! That's not it! That hasn't actually happened!" Jaden denied.

"The universe is created, destroyed, and created again, only to fall in ruins. Such is the cycle it undergoes. This imperfect universe must be destroyed! Why, you ask? Because a new, perfect universe must be made from a world, returned to a clean state by filling the imperfect universe with the Light!" Sartorius finished with a proud laugh, making Jaden hiss.

"He's… insane…" Will whispered.

"It seems that giving in to your destructive urges made you forgot our duel!" Sartorius continued. "Is your turn over?"

Jaden continued where he left off, adding, "Bubbleman switches to DEF mode, and I Normal Summon Neo-Spacian Air Hummingbird in DEF mode!" On cue, the red-feathered hummingbird descended onto the field. (3/ATK: 800/DEF: 600)

"You still seem anxious for someone with an overwhelming advantage." Sartorius chuckled.

"Air Hummingbird's effect activates! For each card in my opponent's hand, I can regain 500 Life Points! Do your thing, buddy! Honey Suck!" Air Hummingbird then flew over to Sartorius and began to draw nectar from the flowers that sprouted from the Light-user's cards.

Jaden: 5000

Sartorius: 300

"I'll end my turn there." Jaden declared.

"Jaden, no matter what happens, don't fall for his words! Who knows what'll happen then?" Will warned.

"Don't you worry." Jaden assured. "I'll make sure I don't slip up in this duel, especially when the world's at stake! I'm sure Kaito and Kurogasa are thinking the same thing!"

"Heh… my turn." Sartorius smirked, drawing out his next card. "Heh, destiny is truly on my side! I shall activate my Field Spell card, Light Barrier!"

"Light Barrier?" Will said, confused as the card hovered above Sartorius' head, rotating gradually.

"The Light Barrier activates different effects in accordance with the roulette of destiny. And as of right now, my power over destiny is now nearly at its strongest! It shall not clash with my interests!"

And just as Sartorius predicted, the card stopped-

"Upright!" Will exclaimed.

"From this moment on, the Light Barrier shall now envelop us!" Sartorius declared.

"What?" Neos got out, feeling something was off.

"Within this barrier, the effects of Effect Monsters other than my Arcana Forces shall be negated!" Sartorius explained as Shining Flare Wingman lost considerable amounts of power.

Elemental HERO Shining Flare Wingman (8/ATK: 3700-2500/DEF: 2100)

"Wingman!" Jaden exclaimed. As he looked at Neos, he also noticed something off. "Neos!"

"The power of my Light Barrier isn't just in our duel, it also exerts its influence on spirits!" Sartorius explained.

"Imagine if Kurogasa's Kamen Rider spirits felt this sort of energy…" Will pondered.

"Jaden, we won't be able to make use of our powers in this barrier…" Neos explained, as Neos began to blur out.

"And now my surprise guest have makes his entrance!" Sartorius said, as a figure entered the room, being none other than-

"Prince Ojin?" Will said, but for some reason, the prince's eyes were blank, as he headed toward Sartorius. He even got the briefcase in his hand.

"Yes, Master…" Prince Ojin said.

"Prince Ojin, snap out of it!" a female voice called out, following him as she tried her best to stop him.

"Lynd?" Will said. "What's going on here?"

"Die!" Sartorius exclaimed, as a shot of light burst from his palm and passed through Neos before it traveled towards the two keys.

"Take the two keys that reign over fate!" Sartorius commanded, as he directed the two keys to Prince Ojin's free hand.

"At once…" he smirked.

As that happened, the hand started tilting to one side, getting Will's attention. Aster was about to fall into the lava. "Aster!" he exclaimed, running up the steps with large strides to get to him faster. Just before Aster's back left the hand, Will managed to make a strong leap of faith, catching him in the air and both duelists landed on the ground safely. "Gh!"

"Will, you okay?!" Jaden exclaimed.

"I'm… fine, I guess…" Will winced in pain.

"Go and complete your job!" Sartorius exclaimed.

"Yes…" the prince replied, turning away to get moving, only to have Lynd try and stop him.

"DON'T INTERFERE!" Sartorius snapped, as his eyes glowed brightly, causing pain to the woman as the prince walked past her.

"Damn it…" Will winced, as he slowly got back up on his feet. "I must stop him before things go haywire…" Will muttered before running towards the prince with his PDA in hand. Lynd followed through as she managed to shrug off the pain.

"HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! With those two keys, SORA will destroy this Earth and lead it to ruin! Soon the world will taste despair and lives will come to an end!" Sartorius rejoiced, as his white aura blazed even stronger.

"Jaden…" Neos called out, getting the E-HERO duelist's attention. "…You must win this duel… destroy this Light Barrier! If not, this world will fall to ruin!" Neos reminded before he blurred out of sight completely.

"Not to worry, pal! I'll make sure of it!" Jaden assured, now glaring at Sartorius. "I won't let you do what you and Orma want anymore! Sartorius, prepare to throw down!"

Aster slowly opened his eyes, pushing himself up from where he laid down earlier before grunting, "Jaden…"

"Aster, don't worry! I got this!" Jaden said. As he looked at the entrance, he thought to himself, 'Will, I hope you can stop Prince Ojin… call for backup, if you have to…'

"Don't get distracted, Jaden. It's still my turn." Sartorius said, getting the duelist's attention. "Now, the upright effect of my Arcana Force VI - The Lovers activates. Should I Tribute Summon an Arcana Force monster, it shall become two sacrifices instead of one! With this, I sacrifice it, to Tribute Summon Arcana Force XXI - The World!"

In a column of light came a new Monster unlike any that Sartorius had summoned thus far. Towering above Jaden and Sartorius was a large mechanical creature colored in gunmetal grey with green circuitry lines and golden cores lining its body. It had no legs, and instead hovered in the air a few feet off the ground, and to make up for this, its arms were exceptionally large, with massive clawed hands at the end of each limb. (8/ATK: 3100/DEF: 3100)

"Now, my Light Barrier's second effect comes into play! I shall determine the card's destiny, and I choose upright!" Sartorius smirked, as the card stopped rotating and stopped where he saw fit. "The World, destroy Shining Flare Wingman with Over Catastrophe!" Spreading out its arms, the cores on The World's body began to light up before a myriad of lasers were fired off from the luminous objects, all of them barreling towards Jaden's Fusion Monster.

Jaden: 4400

Sartorius: 300

"And now, my Light Barrier's third effect activates! When one manages to destroy a Monster in battle, it can restore one's Life Points equal to the ATK of that destroyed Monster!" Sartorius explained, as his Life Points were restored.

Jaden: 4400

Sartorius: 2800

"I place one card facedown and end my turn." Sartorius said, as a facedown appeared on the field.

'Darn it… as long as this barrier's up, I can't make way for my Monsters to pass through… gonna have to find a way somehow…' Jaden thought to himself.

"As long as the Light Barrier is still on the field, Jaden would be at a disadvantage." Aster recalled. "He has to quickly destroy the field to gain an edge or else, Sartorius will keep on rigging the game in his favor!"


"I can't believe it! Prince Ojin is at it again!" Rika snapped, as she, Alexis, Syrus, Hassleberry and Koji ran out of the academy, heading towards the Obelisk White Dorm.

"Lynd did mention about him being under Sartorius's control." Alexis corrected.

"And Will got himself injured, but is still giving chase! That soldier deserves praise for his tenacity!" Hassleberry continued.

"I just hope they're alright… after everything they've went through…" Syrus said worriedly.

"Hold that thought! That's our man over there!" Koji pointed out, as the Prince was making his way out of the dorm. Will and Lynd followed, only to have Will wince on his side.

"Will, are you still hurt from that fall?" she asked.

"A little bit, but it won't be a hinderance for me to save your prince." Will assured.

"He~y!" Rika called out, getting Will and Lynd's attention.

"You guys…" Will got out.

"We got here as soon as we got the call from Lynd." Alexis explained.

"Yeah, and on the double, too!" Syrus nodded.

"Don't worry about your injury, soldier! This dino is on the job!" Hassleberry said before he gave chase to the prince.

With the prince now on his own, he checked his surroundings, looking for a place to hide before kneeling down to open up his briefcase. By inserting both keys in the briefcase, the screen turned on, revealing the map of the world.


"HAHAHAHAHAHA! I feel my power being amplified!" Sartorius said. "And I can clearly see your fate!"

"Can it, dude! Not even you can rig this duel in your favor!" Jaden exclaimed. "Believe me, I'm gonna turn this match around! Draw!"

"Hmph…" Sartorius scoffed, unfazed from Jaden's next move.

"I play my Spell Card, R - Righteous Justice! With this, I can destroy your Field Spell, and bring on my comeback!"

"Need I remind you that I am controlling fate?! I activate Emperor's Staff, to negate your card's destruction effect this turn. But because I'm feeling generous, you may draw a card."

"Grr…" Jaden growled, as he drew his card while R - Righteous Justice shattered away. "You ain't making it easy for me, aren't you? I summon Neo-Spacian Aqua Dolphin in DEF mode!" Emerging from a portal in the ground was the blue-and-white humanoid dolphin. (3/ATK: 600/DEF: 800)

"G… gh!" the dolphin winced in pain.

"What's wrong, buddy?" Jaden asked.

"It's no use… his barrier stopped me from using my powers…" Aqua Dolphin told him.

"You annoying little Neo-Spacian, the Light now exerts its influence on the entire universe! Now, you have nowhere to go!"

'Even if he can see the future, why would he need that Field Spell?' Aster pondered. 'The Light Barrier's three effects are there for insurance, so to speak. In other words, deep down, the Light of Destruction must be afraid of the Neo-Specians' powers.'


"Where in tarnation did that guy went off to?" Hassleberry growled, as he, Rika, Lynd and Koji went after him while Alexis and Syrus stayed back at the dorm, seeing that Will's condition wasn't good.

"If you calm down, then you'll know where to find him!" Rika complained.

"Yeah, man! You need a girl in your life to calm those nerves down." Koji replied.

"There he is!" Hassleberry suddenly exclaimed, surprising the three.

"He did hear what we just said, right?" Rika sweat dropped, as Hassleberry shoulder tackled the prince as hard as he can.

"What are you doing?!" the prince exclaimed, only to be held down by Koji and Rika. "Unhand me, you commoners!"

"Ain't gonna listen to ya, buddy!" Koji grinned.

"I'm gonna smash it!" Hassleberry raised the briefcase up high into the air before smashing it into the ground, the screen shatterinf into pieces. "Huah! This thingamajig is crushed!"

"Oh no…" Lynd got out. "We're too late!"

"Too late?" Rika and Koji asked.

"Both keys were already inserted!"

"What?!" the three exclaimed, as the prince laughed.

"Soon, SORA will set this world ablaze!" the prince declared, as SORA shot its laser into the sea, slowly approaching the Academy.


"I believe it's my turn now." Sartorius said calmly, drawing out his next card. "Writhe in agony, Neo-Spacians. You may blame it on your master Jaden's frail power over destiny! The position of my Light Barrier shall be settled during each of my Standby Phases. If it lands upside down, the effects of this barrier shall be negated. However, destiny is written by me!" Sartorius declared, as the Field Spell card remained upward after its continuous rotation.

"The barrier stays, huh?" Jaden hissed slightly.

"I summon Arcana Force IV - The Emperor in ATK mode!"

On cue, the large floating Monster clad in gunmetal grey armor plating with two large arms accompanied by a multitude of smaller arms made its appearance. (4/ATK: 1400/DEF: 1400) The hologram of The Emperor's card formed above the Arcana Force duelist's head, beginning its own rotation like those before it. "And my Field Spell allows me to make it upright!" Sartorius declared, as the card above The Emperor landed upright after briefly rotating. "Jaden Yuki, not even you would be influencing my fate, nor your friends over Orma's! And now, the Emperor's upright effect activates! Now all of my Arcana Force Monsters gain 500 ATK!" (4/ATK: 1400-1900/DEF: 1400) (8/ATK: 3100-3600/DEF: 3100)

"The World will now destroy Air Hummingbird with Over-Catastrophe!"

The World fired a storm of lasers at the humanoid bird, obliterating it with ease.

"And because the battle was successful, the third effect restores my Life Points!"

Jaden: 4400

Sartorius: 3600

"Without further ado, The Emperor will destroy your Bubbleman!"

Jaden's Monster was blown apart by the onslaught of lasers from The Emperor.

"And of course, you know what happens next, right, Jaden?" he smirked, as his Life Points were replenished even further.

Jaden: 4400

Sartorius: 4400

"And I'm going to leave it at that!" Sartorius declared, ending his turn.

"My turn… draw!" Jaden exclaimed, drawing out his next card. "I'll set one card facedown, and end my turn." Jaden said, as a hologram of the facedown card appeared.

"My turn." Sartorius drew his card and his Field Spell started rotating again. Much to his delight, it remained upwards and the barrier stayed. "From my Hand, I activate Cup of Ace. Due to the effect of the Field Spell card, the Cup of Ace will be facing upright! And due to that, I am allowed to draw two more cards from my Deck!" And just like that, he drew two more cards. After inspecting, he chose the Spell Card he drew earlier, playing it. "I activate my Spell Card, Arcanatic Doomscythe! By sending Arcana Force VIII - The Strength from my Deck to the Graveyard, you shall feel the pain!"

"Feel the pain?" Jaden raised an eyebrow.

"Emperor, attack Aqua Dolphin!" Sartorius declared. The Emperor extended its arm before unleashing a burst of Light energy upon Aqua Dolphin, rendering him defeated as a result. "And because I destroyed a monster in battle, Arcanatic Doomscythe's effect activates! You take damage equal to the ATK of your Monster!"

"What?!" Jaden said shocked, as the Spell Card shot out bolts of lightning at him, inflicting damage.

Jaden: 3800

Sartorius: 4400

"And let us not forget my Field Spell's effect!" Sartorius reminded, as his Life Points increased once more.

Jaden: 3800

Sartorius: 5000

"And I'm not done yet! I use Arcana Force XXI - The World for a direct attack!" Sartorius declared.

"I don't think so! I activate my Trap Card, Hero Signal!" Jaden exclaimed, as the said trap card revealed the signal light with the "H" on it. "With this trap card, I can summon out Elemental Hero Clayman in DEF mode!" On cue, Jaden's Earth-Attribute HERO made its appearance in order to defend his master. (4/ATK: 800/DEF: 2000)

"Even so, it won't stop me!" Sartorius exclaimed, as the laser shot by The World crashed onto the warrior, shattering it into pixels. "With the effect of my Arcanatic Doomscythe, you take another 800 damage!"

"Gh!" Jaden winced in pain, as his Life Points decreased even more, while Sartorius's Life Points increased from it.

Jaden: 3000

Sartorius: 5800

"Darn… he's good. He flipped our score like it was nothing, and he's wiping out my monsters in just one turn! That's just crazy!"

"Jaden Yuki." he called out. "You've no way of winning when I am able to foresee destiny completely! Now, behold!"

The ceiling formed an illusion of space, and in it, the satellite was shooting out its laser on Earth. "What's that?!"

"This is no mere illusion." Sartorius explained. "SORA is currently in full operation, and it shall set this planet ablaze! This is how far the destruction has gone!"

"No way…" Jaden got out. "There's no way I'll let it slide!"

"Hm? Even after all of this, you are still trying to oppose my Wheel of Fate? You truly are a fool. If that's the case, allow me to show your fate with my ability of foresight. Much like your friends, Kurogasa and Kaito, may you wallow in despair and curse your own fate!"

"What?!" Jaden exclaimed before his vision brought him to an abandoned desert, with a few odd hills standing on its own. As Jaden looked around, he continued, "Where is this place? What did he mean by 'my fate'?" he paused for a moment, until he sees a familiar building from afar. "Isn't that… Duel Academy?"

Unknown to Jaden, a rather large figure popped out from the sand from behind, scaring the wits out of him before the figure attacked him. This caused Jaden to snap out from his trance, with a trickle of sweat flowing down his forehead.

"How was it? You witnessed your final moments, no?" Sartorius proudly asked, but for some reason, Jaden's smile… widened?

"Yeah, I saw it, all right."

"What has you so relaxed?" Sartorius asked, confused. "Have you lost your sanity after coming face-to-face with your fate?"

"Sure, it was a pretty bad end, but if what I saw was your so-called fate, then it's not time for our destruction yet!" Jaden replied.

"What?!" Sartorius gasped.

"I understand now; this might be a part of my fate, but here's what I think… fate can be changed!"

"What utter nonsense!" Sartorius rejected. "Destiny cannot be altered by the likes of humans!"

"Really? Then answer me this: How was Kurogasa able to escape the loop of despair when Alexis joined your group?" Jaden asked, making Sartorius hiss. "And how did Kaito manage to seal off his inner demon completely from emerging? Has destiny already been set off from it?"

"W-What are you saying?" Sartorius asked.

"Each card we draw from our Decks is a hope in itself! What makes dueling interesting is using your own hands to draw out those hopes! No matter what comes our way, we'll always rely on the hope in our Decks, and we'll be darn sure to decide our own fate! I'm not letting you decide my fate!" Jaden declared before drawing out his card. "From my Hand, I activate Pot of Greed, letting me draw two cards from my Deck!" he continued, as he drew two, causing the pot to shatter right after that. After a quick inspection, he continued, "Then, I play O - Oversoul! With this card, I can Special Summon one Normal Elemental HERO Monster from my Graveyard! Come on out, Sparkman!" On Jaden's command, the lightning-themed Elemental HERO appeared. (4/ATK: 1600/DEF: 1400)

"And for my next trick, I activate another Spell Card called H - Heated Heart! With this, Sparkman increases his ATK points by 500!" Sparkman flexed his body as he felt his power rise. (4/ATK: 1600-2100/DEF: 1400)

"Now go, Sparkman! Attack The Emperor with Spark Flash!" Jaden commanded, before his Monster unleashed a blast of lightning from his fingertips, causing The Emperor to fall as the attack exploded on contact.

Jaden: 3000

Sartorius: 5600

"And let's not forget! Since Light Barrier affects both of us, I gain Life Points equal to your destroyed Monster's ATK!" Jaden grinned as a gentle light replenished his Life Points.

Jaden: 4400

Sartorius: 5600

"All I need to do now is just set one card facedown and end my turn." Jaden said, as the set card appeared on the field. Jaden chuckled, "Looks like destiny's flow is changing, huh?"

"Heh, destiny is still unfazed!" Sartorius assured. "I'll show you with my turn! As long as Light Barrier is on the field, fate cannot be tampered!" With a swift draw of his card, his Field Spell started to rotate. Unfortunately-

"Heh, you were saying?" Jaden cracked a smile, much to Sartorius' horror.

"Upside down?! This cannot be…" Sartorius said, shocked by the result as the barrier faded from the arena, thus restoring the power of Jaden's Monsters.

"Still think the flow of destiny's not changing?" Jaden asked again.

'Indeed, within the universe there exists unfathomable probabilities… the very fact that my fate is able to be distorted by Jaden Yuki is one of those; as Orma's fate would be tempered as well from Kaito and Kurogasa. However on my next turn, the very moment this Barrier is raised again - no, this is not a matter of whether or not I'm able to survive this turn…' he analyzed, while Jaden couldn't help but keep smiling. "What's with that smirk? Does something amuse you?"

"Let me guess what you're thinking right now: How to get through this turn, right?" Jaden asked as Sartorius kept his poker face. "Until now, you've been thinking of dueling as a way to prove your destiny. But when you figured out that you can't leave it up to your 'fate', you started to think about how to duel!"

"!" Sartorius appeared shocked from Jaden's deduction.

"That just means you're having a good time dueling! And I bet even Orma is having fun!" Jaden grinned happily. "Now, let's go on and have a fun duel!"

'Who does this fool think he is, making a mockery out of me and my friend?!' Sartorius snapped in his thoughts.

"In a duel, you just gotta believe in your Deck and face your opponent with everything you've got!" Jaden reminded.

"Honestly, that Jaden…" Aster sighed. "Even at a time like this, Jaden's still enjoying their duel?"

"We can't change him for who he is…" Will's voice echoed, as Aster looked and noticed. Even Alexis and Syrus were there, standing by his side, just in case he was about to fall from the pain. "But I'm certain he'll do it."

"Yep, Jaden is Jaden, after all." Syrus nodded.

"What about-"

"Don't worry about the prince. Rika, Koji and Hassleberry will take care of him." Alexis assured.

"Damn you… damn you, damn you, DAMN YOU, JADEN YUKI!" Sartorius snapped. "My fate shall not waver! I use The World to attack Sparkman! Over-Catastrophe!" Once more, The World unleashed its devastating attack on Sparkman, obliterating it in seconds.

Jaden: 2900

Sartorius: 5600

"Hah! You cursed fool!"

"At this moment, you'll say, "May you stare your fate straight in the eyes!'!"

"May you stare your fate straight in the eyes!" Sartorius exclaimed… before he noticed. "What did you just say?!"

"Whoa, Jaden just did something unexpected!" Syrus got out.

"Reverse psychology…" Will added.

"Heh, now I'll activate my Trap! Hero Counterattack!" Jaden exclaimed. "Since my Elemental HERO Monster was destroyed in battle, you get to choose one card at random from my hand, and if it's an Elemental HERO Monster, I can Special Summon it, and not only that, I get to destroy one Monster on your side of the field!"

"What?!" Sartorius snapped.

"Will you look at that? Looks like the twist of fate really gets the best of both of us!" Jaden said, showing him his lone card. As he revealed the card, continuous expressions of shock can be seen. "Say goodbye to your Arcana Force XXI - The World!"

"No!" Sartorius gasped as The World exploded into oblivion, and a portal revealed itself, for Jaden's monster to appear.

"And now I Special Summon Elemental HERO Neos in ATK mode!" Jaden said, raising the card up high in the air, shooting out colorful rainbows from it. In a flash of cosmic light, Jaden's new ace Monster made his appearance. (7/ATK: 2500/DEF: 2000)

"Jaden, you must hurry! Seal the Light of Destruction away through your duel! Do that, and we'll be able to use our powers on that laser satellite SORA." Neos instructed, making Jaden nod.

"You're too late! Act however you like, but you cannot avoid the destruction and the impending despair!" Sartorius warned, as his aura began to rise.

"Can it, will ya? No way I'm letting you do what you want!" Jaden said firmly. "And I'll show it to you in this turn! Draw!" he declared, drawing out his next card. "From my hand, I summon Neo-Spacian Glow Moss!" Soon after, the light-themed Neo-Spacian materialized onto the field. (3/ATK: 300/DEF: 900)

"And watch this! Elemental HERO Neos and Glow Moss will perform a Contact Fusion!" Jaden exclaimed, as Neos and Glow Moss flew up high into the sky and towards the Milky Way. "Come on out! Elemental HERO Glow Neos!" Jaden called out. In a flash of light, the fusion of Glow Moss and Neos stood before Jaden while staring down Sartorius. (7/ATK: 2500/DEF: 2000) "And here's his wicked effect! Once per turn, he can destroy one card on your field, and depending on the card that was destroyed this turn, it will also trigger his corresponding effect, too!"

"No… it can't be!" Sartorius roared.

"Yep, you got that right! It's Light Barrier! Now go, Glow Neos! Signal Buster - Blue Lightning!" Jaden grinned, as Sartorius' Field Spell zone ejected out. Much to Sartorius' surprise, as soon as sparks of electricity were gathered in his hand, it immediately shot out at the surrounding area, shattering the Field with ease.

"And now his Monster's effect activates." Will added.

"Since your Field Spell got destroyed, Glow Neos can attack you directly!" Jaden explained. "But then again, it's not like you had monsters out to protect you in the first place. Go, Glow Neos!" Complying with his partner, Neos flew forward and landed a punch on Sartorius square in the face, sending the fortune teller stumbling back.

Jaden: 2900

Sartorius: 3100

"Since the party's over, Glow Neos will return back to my Deck at the End Phase." Jaden explained as Glow Neos started to blur out. Much to Jaden's surprise, the spirit form of Glow Neos was clearly in his sight.

"Jaden, the duel is in your hands! I'll stop SORA!" Neos exclaimed.

"Right! I'm on it!" Jaden gave him the trademark salute before Neos flew into the air, trying to stop the device from destroying it. "We're counting on ya…"


"The laser satellite SORA is currently in an orbit and it will burn any target on the surface into nothingness." Lynd explained to the three.

"Well, that ain't funky. Too much glitter would melt down my goods…" Koji remarked.

"You're still worried about that?" Rika sweat dropped.

"Hey, even you would feel that way, sista'! Admit it!" Koji replied.

"Hahahahahaha! This planet shall become a sea of flames as the world falls to ruin! And once that happens, despair shall be reborn from the hearts of humanity, giving them a new meaning of life!" Prince Ojin laughed. All of a sudden, the prince fainted on the ground, much to their surprise.

"Prince Ojin!" Lynd exclaimed.

"Sam Hill, what just happened to the prince?" Hassleberry got out. "Did ya' two do something weird or something?"

"NO!" both of them exclaimed, practically scolding him.

"Yeesh, you two gotta cool down that temper of yours. The prince is gonna be alright…" Hassleberry explained to them. "I assume he passed out from Sartorius's spell."

"But even so, we still can't do anything…" Koji said, looking at the sky. "…not while that thing shoots out the glitter in the sky…"

"There's gotta be something we can do! THERE'S GOTTA BE!" Hassleberry exclaimed, roaring out loud. This causes his soul manifestation to form into a rather large brown dinosaur, wearing a bandanna over his dreadlocks.

"Whoa…" Koji got out, seeing the manifestation of Hassleberry's soul. "Just like Funkasaurus…"

"Hey, Koji, doesn't that look like-" Rika said, pointing out Glow Neos in the sky, now heading towards him.

"Symbol of the Strength, I ask that you lend me your power. Come with me into space!" Neos requested.

"10-4 on that, soldier!" Hassleberry nodded. "They did say that dinosaurs once turned into birds as they evolved. And now, by leaving the surface and flying into space, I'm evolvin' into a Space Dinosaur!"

It was then he looked at Koji, "Kamen Rider Disco, I also need your assistance… your power would also play a vital role in stopping SORA."

"Me?" Koji said, pointing at himself before grinning. "Well shoot, all you gotta do was ask!" He added before he attached his Disco Driver onto his waist and placed the Style Record in the center.

IT'S TIME TO BOOGIE!

"Henshin!"

A holographic disco ball and neon lights appeared around Koji, glowing brighter and brighter until Koji couldn't be seen amongst the lights. Finally, the lights dissipated, to reveal his Rider form. As soon as Koji transformed into Kamen Rider Disco, Neos let out a small nod, saying, "Now, onto space we go!" Neos declared, as his hand lets out a faint glow of light. The light wraps around both the souls of both Hassleberry and Disco, and soon enough, their souls are manifested into a singular entity, immediately flying towards space.

"Well, see ya' in a bit, soul sista'…" Koji said before his whole body wobbled a bit. Moments later, his back ended up landing on Rika's front and she ended getting toppled by him. Even Hassleberry ended up landing on his front, much to Rika and Lynd's confusion.

"E-Eh?! Koji? Hassleberry?" Rika blinked as she managed to get out from the toppled boys and looked at them in total confusion. "What's with you two all of a sudden?!"

As the three flew towards space, the three of them saw SORA, continuously shooting out its laser on Earth. "There it is! Over there!" Neos exclaimed.

"I see, but I don't believe!" Hassleberry exclaimed. "How in tarnation are we supposed to put that thing out of commission?!"

"We make holes on 'em!" Disco grinned, taking out his gun and started shooting on it. "That oughta do the trick!"

"It's not that simple." Neos said. "Look." When the shots hit the satellite, it barely made a dent.

"You're kiddin' me!" Disco gawked.

"If shootin' ain't gonna work, then raw power it is!" Hassleberry said, as he quickly stampeded towards the satellite.


"Don't get too cocky, boy! I'll turn fate to my side again!" Sartorius declared, drawing out his next card. "Heheheheh, I've yet to lose my power over destiny! I summon Arcana Force I - The Magician in ATK mode!"

Appearing next on the field was the grey-skinned alien wearing a jester's attire colored in black and grey, with a raised red collar. (4/ATK: 1100/DEF: 1100) As it made its appearance, the card started to rotate above its head. "Upright!" Sartorius declared, and the card stopped on the specified position. "Behold, Jaden Yuki! This is my destiny! And death happens to be your fate! Grant Jaden with a direct attack!"

Hearing his master's orders, The Magician conjured a set of six small spheres of light, which it briefly juggled before hurling them at Jaden one by one.

Jaden: 1800

Sartorius: 3100

"I'll set two more cards facedown and end my turn!" Sartorius declared, as two more facedown cards appeared. Chuckling, he continued, "I shall not allow my Wheel of Fate to be moved by you!"

"Gh… my turn now!" Jaden winced, drawing out his next card. "I'll play my Spell Card, HERO Flash! By removing "H - Heated Heart", "E - Emergency Call", "R - Righteous Justice" and "O - Oversoul" from my Graveyard, I can activate it immediately!" Jaden exclaimed, as the word "HERO" flashed out towards space.


"Hey, what's that?" Disco said, pointing out to the "HERO" flash while Hassleberry was about to attack it.

"What's wrong, soldier?" Hassleberry asked.

"Could that be…?" Neos pondered before his eyes dawned with realization. "Alright, my double!" Neos said, as he split off from his fused counterpart. "It rests with you! You must settle this duel once and for all!"

His double gave him a firm nod before it flew down, aiding Jaden with his duel.


"With this, I Special Summon Elemental HERO Neos in ATK mode!" Jaden declared, as Neos' double made his entrance. (7/ATK: 2500/DEF: 2000)

"With that, The Magician's upright effect activates." Sartorius said. "For the turn in which a Spell Card is played, its ATK points are doubled!" (4/ATK: 1100-2200/DEF: 1100)

"And at this moment, you'll say, "A mere 300 points of damage can't even scratch me!", right?"

"Heh! A mere 300 points of damage can't even scratch me!" Sartorius boasted… until he realized something was off again. "What did you just say?!"

"I think you forget about one thing. See, when HERO Flash is played, I can use my Elemental HEROes for a direct attack instead!" Jaden grinned.

"They what?!"

"Alright! Way the go, Jaden!" Syrus cheered.

"Neos, Give him a good ol' knuckle sandwich from space! Wrath of Neos!" Jaden commanded as the HERO Monster flew forward and delivered a straight punch to Sartorius's chest, completely bypassing his Monsters.

Jaden: 1800

Sartorius: 600

"And just like that, the Wheel of Fate turns again!" Jaden csaid, clenching his fist tightly. "I've nabbed a new future with the help of my friends!"

"That's right, Jaden." Alexis nodded.

"Well said, chap!" Will added.

"Just a little bit more!" Syrus cheered.

"With this, I'll end my turn here!" Jaden declared.

"Even though Jaden cornered him, Sartorius still has his trump card…" Aster pointed out.

"His trump card?" Alexis asked.

"What trump card?" Syrus asked.

"You'll understand once you've witnessed it yourself." Will told them.

"This farce will end right here, right now! I shall not allow you to alter this future of destruction!" Sartorius growled angrily, drawing out his next card. "From my hand, I activate my Spell Card, Magician's Scales! With this, I sacrifice The Magician, to add one Spell Card from my Deck to my Hand!" as he did that, the cards started rotating around him one by one. With a quick nab of his Hand to the card, he smirked, knowing the end was near.

"The Material Road and the Spiritual Road now activate!" Sartorius declared, activating both of his set cards. "In addition, from my Hand, I activate The Heavens Road!"

"This is bad…" Aster said, as three pillars of light in different colors shotsout from it, emitting a rather strong aura.

"Jaden Yuki. May you realize the foolishness of opposing destiny by experience!" Sartorius declared as the three pillars combined as one. "I shall sacrifice these three pillars of Light to summon forth the Monarch of Light! Come forth, Arcana Force EX - The Light Ruler!"

Once the pillars had fully converged, an eruption of light from the single object gave way to a Monster that dwarfed all of Sartorius' other Monsters in their entirety; a massive black-and-grey creature with red markings running along its body. The Monster had no legs, and instead sported a long, thin serpentine tail to go with its large clawed mechanical arms. Three blue cores rested in its chest, while a pair of draconic heads snaked their way out from the entity's back. (10/ATK: 4000/DEF: 4000)

"That's…" Alexis trailed off.

"…his trump card." Will commented.

"I didn't stand a chance against its power…" Aster began.

"Jaden…" Syrus whimpered, as Sartorius chuckled proudly.

As the card above the Light Ruler rotated, Sartorius said in a commanding voice, "UPRIGHT!" and in an instant, the card stopped where he wanted it, much to his delight. "And now my Light Ruler shall decimate your Neos! THE END OF RAY!" The massive Monster aimed its twin heads at Neos, with each maw building up Light energy. Within seconds, the gathered power was discharged, shooting towards Neos at astounding speeds.

"Is the light wiping out the darkness?!" Neos exclaimed before he got completely wiped out.

Jaden: 300

Sartorius: 600


At the same time…

"This ain't funky! That thing is now aiming at us!" Disco exclaimed after his continous shots on it. Even Hassleberry and Glow Neos took a step back from its sudden movement.

"Yeah, and- whoa!" Hassleberry exclaimed, as Neos was able to shove him to the side, preventing him from getting hit from the laser.

Disco noticed something was off, asking, "Uh… Neos? You okay, man?"

"Did… something happen to my double?" Neos asked himself.

"Sam Hill, we're now target practice!" Hassleberry exclaimed as SORA sets its sights on them.

"Crap!" Disco cursed before the three dodged the incoming shot again.

As more shots were coming at them, for some reason, Neos seemed to blur out from their sight, confusing the two. "Hey, what gives?! Neos's fleein' the battlefield!" Hassleberry exclaimed.

"Neos?!" Disco exclaimed. "How are Hassleberry and I gonna do this on our own? We can't even take that thing down head on, even with our strength!"


"Jaden!" Syrus called out, as Jaden lied on his back on the floor.

"Jaden, have you given up?" Aster asked, looking at the fallen comrade.

"And due to the effect of Light Ruler, since I've destroyed your Neos, I can add one card from my Graveyard to my Hand! And obviously, I'll add my Field Spell card back to my Hand!" Sartorius smirked widely, looking at both cards in hand. "I'll set one card facedown and end my turn."

"Jaden, get up! Now's not the time for a nap!" Will exclaimed, while Sartorius laughed it off.

"Jaden, are you ready to surrender? Of course, there is no such thing as surrendering in this battle! The moment you lose shall be the moment your life extinguishes! And the moment that this world, no… this planet and this universe are imbued with pure white, despair will definitely follow!"

"Jaden! Jaden!" Neos' voice echoed in his mind, as his conscious continued to float in the universe. "We were close, but even with the combined might of Kamen Rider Disco, we still couldn't destroy SORA. Please, I ask of you to lend me your strength once more!"

"But what exactly can I do?" Jaden replied in his consciousness.

"You must once again call out one of the Neo-Spacians, allies of Neos." Neos replied.

"Alright… I'll give it a shot." Jaden assured before slowly returning back to reality. With a quick kick up, he managed to get back on his feet and saying, "Who said anything about surrendering?!"

"Jaden!" Alexis, Will and Syrus exclaimed.

"Listen up and listen good, Sartorius! I'm going to change fate with my own hands!" Jaden exclaimed. "Not only my own, but this universe's too! And it all comes down to this draw!" Jaden said, drawing out his next card.

"Utter nonsense!" Sartorius countered, but Jaden heed no mind to it.

"I'll play my Spell Card, Fifth Hope! With this, I can choose five cards with E-HERO in their names, add them to my Deck, and shuffle!" he said, demonstrating it in front of Sartorius before putting them back into its deck slot. "And after that, I'm allowed to draw three cards!"

"Those three cards better pull out a miracle…" Will said.

"Next, I activate my own Field Spell Card, Neo Space!" Jaden declared, as the whole area around them was replaced with space. Somewhere nearby, the view of the satellite, dinosaur formed Hassleberry and Disco are also in their sights.

"Look at that, Jaden Yuki! That is SORA, my great laser satellite!" Sartorius introduced. "Even if you happen to defeat me in our duel, you shall not stop SORA!"

"Not gonna happen while I'm around!" Jaden exclaimed. "From my hand, I play Silent Doom! Thanks to this nifty card, I can Special Summon Elemental HERO Neos from my graveyard in DEF mode!" As Jaden played the card, Neos made its appearance, now kneeling and crossing his arms. "Here's more! I'll summon Neo-Spacian Grand Mole in ATK mode!" Jaden exclaimed, as a familiar brown mole with drill-like technology around its neck and shoulder appeared, looking at his opponent with a confident smile. (3/ATK: 900/ DEF: 300)

"Could it be…?!" Aster got out.

"Yep, another Contact Fusion!" Syrus cheered.

"Neos, Grand Mole! Contact Fusion!" Jaden commanded, as both monsters flew towards the Milky Way, combining into a single entity. "Come on! Elemental Hero Grand Neos!"

Appearing from the light at the center of the galaxy was none other than Neos, though now noticeably changed. Neos now sported a color scheme of light brown, orange, and silver, while the armor that covered his form was much bulkier in appearance, and a large drill took the place of his right forearm. (7/ATK: 2500/DEF: 2000)

"Thanks to the Field Spell, not only does my Grand Neos gains 500 ATK points, but he also gets to stick around, too!" Jaden explained, as Grand Neos' ATK increased. (7/ATK: 2500-3000/DEF: 2000)

"That won't be enough to beat my monster!" Sartorius reminded.

"Once per turn, Grand Neos can send one Monster on your side of the field back to your Hand." Jaden explained.

"That's impossible!" Sartorius exclaimed, as Neos drilled out a tear in space, sucking Light Ruler inside and removing it from the field. "NOT!"

"What?!" Jaden exclaimed, shocked from his sudden change of attitude.

"I activate my trap card, Reversing Fate!" Sartorius declared, as his trap card activated. With this, I can exchange the position of my Arcana Force monster's effect! At this time, its effect is now aligned with its reverse position!"

"What's that supposed to mean?" Syrus pondered. "All he did was just make his card upside down…"

"No, there's more to it, Syrus…" Aster warned.

"Now, my Light Ruler's reverse effect activates! Whenever my Light Ruler becomes the target of an effect, by reducing its ATK by 1000, it negates the effect and destroys the activated card!" Sartorius explained as it fired off another torrent of Light from its twin heads, erasing Neos's presence. (10/ATK: 4000-3000/DEF: 4000)

"And ou can draw one card as compensation." Sartorius said.

"This can't be happening…" Syrus got out.

"I'm as shocked as you are right now, Syrus…" Will said. "But seeing is believing."

"Does that mean Jaden is going to lose?" Alexis asked, getting worried

"You poor, sad boy. This is the end of the line, Jaden!" Sartorius laughed. "Indeed, you must not oppose destiny! Just look at it!" Sartorius pointed at SORA, proudly. "The Light of Destruction shall lead this very planet - this world - and the universe to their destruction, and through despair, they shall be reborn anew! That is its fate! You cannot interfere with this noble work!"

"Hey, this duel ain't over yet! I won't give up until the last card is played!" Jaden retorted while clenching his fist. "No matter how beaten you are, get back up with a fearless fighting spirit and you'll win in the end! Even though it's hard for them, they'll be sure to turn it around in their favor! That's how a real hero would be! And I'm going to make it happen! I play the Quick Spell Card, Reverse of Neos! Come out, Neos!" Jaden grinned cheekily as Neos made his appearance yet again.

"What?! That's impossible! I ended his existence!" Sartorius snapped.

"Sure, I may not have the power to see into the future like Allyson, have armor like Kurogasa and Koji, or even power on the level of Kaito and his friends! But still, the wishes of my friends and I are linked together!" Jaden said, while looking at Neos. "Go for it, Neos! Beat SORA to a pulp!"

"Right!" Neos nodded before flying towards Disco and Hassleberry, who were still dodging from SORA's trail. "Let's go, both of you!"

"Right!" Hassleberry and Disco nodded.

"All of you are fools! May you vanish in the light before this world does!" Sartorius said.

"Light of Destruction…" a familiar voice called out, stopping SORA's assault instantly. "I shall not allow you to manipulate my brother's body any longer!"

"Hold on… that voice…" Syrus got out.

"His… sister?" Aster added.

"Who are you?!" Sartorius demanded.

"Sarina?" Jaden gasped.

"Sarina?!" Sartorius gasped, as she appeared in digital form, stopping the satellite in its path.

"It was in preparation for this day that I digitized myself, and I have entered SORA through the satellite's circuitry." she explained. "Come! SORA is currently offline!"

"What was that?!" Sartorius roared.

"Do it now!" Neos exclaimed.

"Right!" Hassleberry nodded, as he ran towards it, crushing the front of the satellite with his tail.

Koji then took out the Party Time Record and inserted it in the Disco Driver.

OH YEAH! IT'S PARTY TIME! RIDER KICK!

Koji crouched down as he was surrounded by rainbow colored musical notes as his platforms glowed bright gold. "Kiss my Boogie Shoes!" Leaping into the air, a giant golden disco ball formed behind Koji, shining a brilliant golden light down onto the Satellite.

DROP THE BEAT!

Leaping into the air, music notes trailing after him, Koji shouted, "LAST DANCE!" He then went flying down towards SORA to deliver his Rider Kick. Neos joined him, flying towards it with a fist to it. And like a shooting star, both Disco and Neos pierced through it, successfully destroying it.

"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! WHAT HAVE YOU DONE?!" Sartorius yelled.

"We did it, y'all!" Hassleberry exclaimed.

"That was funkadelic!" Koji gave a thumbs-up.

"Jaden Yuki, please… seal away the Light of Destruction and return my brother to his former self…" Sarina requested before she disappeared.

"Don'cha worry about that! I always keep my promise!" Jaden grinned. "Well now, get ready for a whoopin', Sartorius, no- The Light of Destruction!"

The Light of Destruction laughed it off, saying, "The power of your hero is no match for The Light Ruler- the Commander of the Light!"

"We'll see about that!" Jaden smirked. "Thanks to Neo Space, Neos gains 500 ATK points and since Neos was summoned by Reverse of Neos, he gains an additional 1000 ATK, meaning…"

"Jaden won…" Will finished, as an intense, burning aura began to seep out from Neos. (7/ATK: 2500-4000/DEF: 2000)

"Let's do this! Neos, attack his monster with Wrath of Neos!" Jaden commanded, as Neos immediately flew towards him and gave the Light Ruler one big chop. And with that-

"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" the Light of Destruction roared in pain, being forced from Sartorius' body. Eventually…

Jaden: 300

Sartorius: 0


…the white aura was no more.

"Sartorius!" Jaden exclaimed, as Sarina appeared next to her brother in digital form.

"Brother…" Sarina called out, as Sartorius slowly opened his eyes.

"S… Sarina?" he called her name softly.

"I assume you've returned to your former self, brother?" she added, as Sartorius pushed himself up.

"I have… what happened?" Sartorius asked. "And yourself?"

"I'm certain… that we will meet again…" Sarina said firmly before she disappeared.

"So uh… how are we gonna get back down there?" Hassleberry asked.

"Uh… I think I'm gonna stay here a bit longer…" Disco sweat dropped.

"What makes you say that?" he asked.

"I got a feeling that Rika's gonna hit me with a frying pan for landing on top of her when I fainted…" he let out a nervous laugh before he ended up being dragged by Hassleberry.

"Come on, soldier! No wimpin' out! Let's get back, already!" Hassleberry snapped, dragging Disco's arm with his jaw.

"Aw man, c'mon! That ain't cool! Don't be such a jive-turkey!" Disco complained.

'Even if this crisis was averted, there's still one more to deal with…' Aster pondered. 'Kurogasa, Kaito, we've done our part here. The rest is up to you two…'
