"Now then...White Night Queen attack her Abyss!" Alexis declared, laughing as the frozen ruler sent a stream of cold wind toward Wisteria's fish. The shark-man yelled in pain as his body was completely covered in ice, and with one last whip of her hand, the White Night Queen shattered the monster completely. Its remains were sent flying in Wisteria's direction, leaving the girl to shield herself and grimace as the cold wind blew through her, chipping away at her Life Points.

ALEXIS - 4000 LP
"And now for the real hit!" Alexis continued with a mad grin, "Snow Fairy, attack her directly!"
The frozen fairy glimmered as she flew high into the air, accompanied by cute noises. After reaching a place high above Wisteria, the fairy pointed a single finger at her, then unleashed a beam of ice energy that crashed into Wisteria's chest.
"Agh...!" Wisteria hissed, staggering backward in pain as her Life Points dropped further.

"Wisteria, are you alright?!" Konami asked, glancing back from where he stood to check in on the Duel.
"A-Actually..." Wisteria muttered, "I could really use a coat right now..!"
Alexis giggled, "What's the matter? Too cold for you? Well, you better hurry and bundle up, because if you think its chilly now..." her blank eyes widened in glee, "just wait until you see what I've got in store for you-"
"-NEXT TIME ON Yu-Gi-Oh! Tag Force - Learning to Shine!" Konami interrupted. He paused as everyone turned to look at him. "Ehehehe...yeah."
Learning to Shine
SECRET FILES
"Body and Soul - Part 3"
"-whatever that was," Alexis said, ignoring Konami's words. "Anyway, are you going to hurry up and make your move or not?!"
"Fine," Wisteria replied, "just don't blame me...when your impatience comes back to bite you! It's my turn now, draw!"
TURN FOUR - WISTERIA - 1600 LP - SIX CARDS
Her eyes flashed upon seeing the drawn card. Then, she smiled.
"Looks like it's time for you to say hello to an old friend of yours," she whispered, placing the card upon her Duel Disk. "I summon Gishki Chain in Attack Mode!"
The green, spear-wielding sea serpent hissed as it materialized on Wisteria's field, then pointed its spear toward Alexis' monsters dangerously.
Gishki Chain - LV4 - WATER - Sea Serpent - (1800/1000)
"Tsk..." Alexis frowned, "That monster huh...?"
"That's right," Wisteria said, "and you know what that means! Due to his effect, I get to look at the top three cards of my hand, and then - if there's a Ritual Spell or Monster among them - add it to my hand!" she studied the three cards - Pot of Greed, Gishki Aquamirror, and Pre-Preparation of Rites, then smiled. "I reveal the Ritual Spell Gishki Aquamirror, and add it to my hand! And now that I've done that...Gishki Chain's second effect activates, allowing me to put the other two cards on top of my deck in any order!"
"Not that it'll help you any," Alexis scoffed while watching Wisteria place the cards. "Don't forget, as long as my Snow Fairy is on the field, your Spells are frozen!"
"Then perhaps it's time I thawed them out!" Wisteria replied, throwing her hand forward. "Go, Gishki Chain! Destroy the Snow Fairy!"
The sea serpent hissed as it launched itself across the field, easily impaling the frozen warrior through the heart. The Snow Fairy gurgled as it attempted to wrap its hands around the weapon, but with a simple pull, Gishki Chain removed the lance, then leapt back to Wisteria's side. The Snow Fairy exploded shortly afterward, showering Alexis with its ice-cold remains.
WISTERIA - 1600 LP
ALEXIS - 3300 LP
"Tch," she muttered, raising her Duel Disk to protect her from the falling debris, "you'll pay for that."
"Actually," Wisteria corrected, "I won't. Because now that you're Snow Fairy is gone, her ability to freeze my Spells is gone as well, which means I can activate the Ritual Spell I just got - Gishki Aquamirror! Now, by tributing monsters from my field or hand whose levels are equal to or greater than the level of a 'Gishki' Ritual Monster in my hand, I can Ritual Summon that monster!"
"Yes," Alexis scowled, watching as a floating mirror appeared on Wisteria's field. "We all know how Ritual cards work. Just get to the part where you summon the monster already!"
"Very well, but don't say I didn't warn you!" Wisteria shouted. "The monster I'm tributing for this Ritual Summon...is the Level Two Gishki Vision I added to my hand last turn!"
"What? Level Two?!" Alexis asked. "Your Ritual Monster is that low-leveled?!"
"No, but thanks to his ability, my Gishki Vision can be used as the full tribute for a Ritual Summon, so long as the Ritual Monster being summoned is of the WATER attribute. And the monster I'm summoning...is one that's been dying for a rematch!" Wisteria revealed, placing her chosen card onto her Duel Disk, "Come forth, Evigishki Soul Ogre!"
A pillar of water flooded the field as the web-footed reptilian materialized from the ancient mirror. A great snarl of a roar accompanied it, displaying its great power and destructive nature as it stared at its next target.
Evigishki Soul Ogre - LV8 - WATER - Aqua/Ritual - (2800/2800)
Alexis grimaced at the monster, recalling its effect from the Tag Duel.
"Seems like you remember," Wisteria giggled. "That's right! With my Soul Ogre on the field, your Queen is a goner, because by discarding one 'Gishki' monster...my Ogre will blow her back into your deck!"
Quickly, she slid the Evigishki Gustkraken in her hand to the grave, then smirked as the Soul Ogre accepted the sacrifice and began to glow.
"Go, my loyal servant!" Wisteria shouted, swinging her hand forward. "Show that overblown icicle your might! Demolition Hurricane!"
With a gaping snarl, Soul Ogre released a jet of water from its jaws. The air itself rippled as the pressurized stream traveled across the field, and the White Night Queen screeched in pain as they assaulted her ears, forcing her into a humiliating retreat.
"Tsk...!" Alexis grimaced, catching the card as it ejected itself from her Duel Disk. She quietly shuffled it back into her deck while glaring at Wisteria's monster. "What a pain..."
"And that will end my turn," Wisteria said.
"Nice going!" Atticus called from atop his Red-Eyes, having been watching the Duel from above. "Keep dueling like that and Alexis will be free in no time!"
"Free? From what, your annoying face?" Alexis asked him.
"Awwughk!" Atticus winced, grasping his heart in pain as if Alexis' words had truly wounded him. "S-Sissy...how could you say such a terrible thing to your brother?!"
"Anyone who stands against the Light is no family of mine!" Alexis rejected.
"Ugh," Konami grunted from afar, still attempting to push himself into the homunculus. "She sounds even worse than before. You don't think my other self did anything to her, do you?"
"Who knows?" Wisteria muttered, "But to be honest, I don't care how crazy she's gotten! I'll beat her here and now, and repay the loss she handed me during the Tag Match!"
"Whatever," Alexis laughed. "You dweebs don't stand a chance against the power of my new deck! Not only does it carry the power of the Light, but it wields monsters of the White Night King as well!"
"What?!" Konami asked, shouting in surprise at the declaration.
Alexis smirked at him, "Since you seem to be a big fan of his...allow me to show you...the power he possesses! It's my turn, I draw!" She ripped a card from the top of her deck...and smirked.
TURN FIVE - ALEXIS - 3300 LP - FIVE CARDS
"I activate Mausoleum of the Emperor!" Alexis shouted while sliding a green card into the Field Zone of her Duel Disk. A sudden rumbling filled the lab upon her doing so, and suddenly, a large temple-like structure burst from beneath Alexis, carrying her high towards the ceiling.
"Ah!"
"Wha-?!"
Alexis chuckled darkly, "With this Field Spell, my victory is all but assured! Now, I don't need to use Tributes to summon a powerful monster. Instead, I can just pay a thousand Life Points for each sacrifice needed instead!"
"Ah, no way!" Wisteria gasped. "That's insane!"
"No, you are, for daring to go against the White Night King!" Alexis shouted, "And now, as his enforcer, I will deliver his wrath to your personally! I pay 2000 Life Points to summon this - the mighty Tyrant Dragon in Attack Mode!"
A pillar of flame burst from the top of the temple, engulfing Alexis in its being as the great European dragon arose on her field with a terrible roar.
WISTERIA - 1600 LP
ALEXIS - 1300 LP
"Ah, Alexis!" Atticus shouted, worried about his younger sibling.
"Hmhmhm..." the girl chuckled, appearing completely at ease despite the flames, "Thanks to the power of the Light, this is nothing! Instead of me, you should be worrying about your little friend over there!"
"Ah-!" Atticus gasped, glancing back toward Wisteria.
"Tsk...so it's come to this huh," said Duelist grimaced while staring down the great behemoth. "Brings back old memories...doesn't it, Konami?"
"Yeah," the boy muttered. "Though...I'm gonna have to have a few words with my body about who he hands my cards to."
Tyrant Dragon let loose another roar at the words, unleashing a stream of fire into the sky as it did.
Tyrant Dragon - LV8 - FIRE - Dragon - (2900/2600)
"Tch...!"
"Worried?" Alexis asked Wisteria, "You should be, because this is only the beginning! Now that I have Tyrant Dragon on the field, its time I combined him with the power of the Light to give birth to the ultimate monster!"
"What?" Wisteria asked.
"I activate this: the glorious White Veil Spell Card!" Alexis laughed, sliding the card into the Spell Slot behind Tyrant Dragon's Monster Zone. "Now, by equipping it to Tyrant Dragon, I can give birth to a new monster! The ultimate monster, who will unleash the power of the Light! Come forth, White Night Dragon!"
A pillar of light burst from Tyrant Dragon's being as it froze over, becoming clad in the Ice of Destruction.
White Night Dragon - LV8 - WATER - Dragon - (3000/2500)
"H-Hold on!" Atticus shouted, "That's not how the White Veil works! My spies at the academy said that it merely prevented someone from using Spells or Traps during the Battle Phase!"
"Spies?" Alexis glowered, glaring at her brother. After a moment, she turned back to Wisteria. "No matter. They will be revealed soon enough. But for your information, Atticus, this White Veil is not the same as that loser Chazz's! Mine is a true White Veil; one that only a real servant of the Light can possess! And by sending it to the Graveyard with my King's Tyrant Dragon, I can Special Summon this ultimate monster; one who possesses not only Tyrant Dragon's abilities, but the defensive capabilities of the White Veil as well!"
The White Night Dragon hissed as Alexis finished her speech, releasing a soft stream of cold breath that sent literal chills down Wisteria's spine.
"Now...it's time! Go, White Night Dragon! Destroy Wisteria's Evigishki Soul Ogre!"
"Nnn!" Wisteria hissed, immediately stepping back and shielding herself as the dragon unleashed a furious ice-breath attack. Her Soul Ogre also stepped in front of her, taking the brunt of blow while ensuring that not a scratch came to harm her. In seconds, it was completely frozen. A mere breeze of the wind shattered it to pieces, and Wisteria's Life Points fell along with it.
WISTERIA - 1400 LP
ALEXIS - 1300 LP
"And since Tyrant Dragon can attack monsters twice...guess what that means?!" Alexis continued, throwing her hand forward again. "That's right! Your Gishki Chain is done! Go, White Night Dragon! Icy Isle Flash!"
The frozen dragon unleashed a second stream of ice, shattering the sea serpent upon impact and sending Wisteria crashing to the floor. Both Atticus and Konami called out to her, only for the girl to grimace as she slowly crawled back to her feet.
WISTERIA - 200 LP
ALEXIS - 1300 LP
"I-I can barely feel my legs..." she muttered, shivering from the sheer cold she was experiencing. "It's like...everything's gone numb...!"
Alexis chuckled at the sound, "I told you...you'd regret going against us."
"I don't regret anything," Wisteria muttered, slowly crawling back to your feet. "But you will, once you awaken from your current self, that is!"
"I'm already awake," Alexis replied back. "Don't you understand? That's what it means to have seen the Light!"
"Wake up Alexis, this isn't you!" Atticus shouted. "Can't you see that Sartorius is controlling you?"
"There is no Sartorius!" Alexis shouted. "There is only the White Night King, and he...will destroy you all!"
"She's gone completely bonkers...!" Konami grimaced, "Wisteria, you're gonna have to beat her here! You wanted a rematch, didn't you? Now's your chance! Avenge yourself...and free our friend!"
"Your friend," Wisteria corrected, "but fine! It's my turn...I draw!"
She quickly pulled a card from the top of her deck.
TURN SIX - WISTERIA - 200 LP - THREE CARDS
"I activate the Spell card Pot of Greed," Wisteria began, "allowing me to draw two cards!"
She drew two more cards from the top of her deck and stared at them: Pre-Preparation of Rites and Waboku.
'This'll do...' she thought, reaching for the first. "Next...I'll activate my Pre-Preparation of Rites Spell card!"
"This again?" Alexis asked, "Why don't you get some new tricks?!"
"I will," Wisteria said, "but first, I'll be adding a Ritual and a Ritual Monster from my deck to my hand!" she searched through her cards for the ones she wanted. "The Ritual I will be adding...is the Hymn of Light! The other card, naturally, will be its corresponding monster - the Level Six Saffira, Queen of the Dragons!"
She revealed the cards before shuffling them in with the rest of her hand.
"Next, I'll lay one card face-down on the field," Wisteria said, sliding the card into her back row while a reverse card hologram appeared before her.
"Is that all?" Alexis asked, "Because I'd like to hurry up and get this over with!"
"Now, now, didn't your mother ever teach you that patience was a virtue?" Wisteria asked, "I merely wanted to make sure everything was ready before we get to the real good stuff...and now, one last card is needed! Fortunately, I'll be adding it to my hand now through the effect of the Gishki Aquamirror in my Graveyard!" Wisteria explained. "By shuffling it back into my deck, I can add one 'Gishki' Ritual Monster in my Graveyard to my hand!"
"Tsk..! Going for your Soul Ogre again?!" Alexis asked.
"Not this time," Wisteria explained. "Instead, I'll be adding back the card I discarded through Soul Ogre's ability! Return to me now, the Level Six Evigishki Gustkraken!"
A pillar of wind swept through Wisteria's holographic Graveyard Zone, while on her Duel Disk, the card ejected itself back into her hand.
"Unfortunately," she continued after grabbing it, "she won't be there for long, since I'll be using her as the entire tribute to summon Saffira in Defense Position! I play Hymn of Light now, to begin her awakening!"
A giant sigil appeared before her as she placed the Spell onto her Duel Disk, shone with the light of the sacred dragons. Six glowing circles emerged from within it, sending pillars of energy flying into the sky where they crashed together to create a single entity. The glowing new being of light descended from the skies then, and spread her feathery wings out across Wisteria's field, dispersing the light completely and revealing its true nature as a blue dragon dressed in regal wear.
Saffira, Queen of the Dragons - LV6 - Dragon/Ritual - (2500/2600)
"Heh...I thought you were doing something dangerous," Alexis chuckled, "but it looks like there was no need to worry."
"Don't be so sure about that," Wisteria muttered. "Saffira may not have the power to overcome your dragon, but she does have an effect! During the End Phase of the turn she was Ritual Summoned, I get to draw two more cards from my hand, then discard the one I don't want!" Wisteria grabbed two more cards from her deck and stared at them.
Twin Twisters and Rush Recklessly...
"I send Twin Twisters to the Graveyard," Wisteria muttered, sliding the card into her Duel Disk's corresponding zone.
"Then it's my turn," Alexis chuckled. "And time for you...to see the Light!"
She quickly drew another card from her deck.
TURN SEVEN - ALEXIS - 1300 LP - TWO CARDS
She chuckled.
"I activate the power of the Mausoleum once more!" Alexis shouted.
"What?!" Konami shouted from afar.
"Not again!" Atticus complained, even as his Red-Eyes blew away another of Alexis' soldiers.
"Hehehe, that's right," Alexis said. "Now, by paying a thousand Life Points, I can summon this monster - the great Frostosaurus!"
This time, it was an icy chill that surrounded Alexis as she paid the cost. Her grin remained resolute, however, as the power of the cold gave birth to a large, frozen dinosaur that roared angrily at its state.
Frostosaurus - LV6 - WATER - Dinosaur - (2600/1700)
WISTERIA - 200 LP
ALEXIS - 300 LP
"Hehehe...with this, my victory is certain!" Alexis shouted. "Go, White Night Dragon! Wipe her defenses away with your Icy Isle Flash!"
"Not so fast!" Wisteria shouted, "I have a Trap Card-!"
"Then it won't work!" Alexis cut her off. "Have you already forgotten?! My White Night Dragon wields both the offense power of Tyrant Dragon and the defensive power of the White Veil! While he attacks, you can't activate any Spell or Traps on the field during the Battle Phase!"
"On the field you say-?" Wisteria asked. "In that case...I'll just have to use one that's not on the field! I activate the power of the Hymn of Light! While it's in my Graveyard, I can banish it to prevent the destruction of a Ritual Monster, be it by battle...or by card effect!"
"What?!" Alexis gasped, even as her monster's attack engulfed Saffira completely. An icy explosion occurred upon impact, showering the field with all kinds of frozen debris. As the smoke and mist faded, however, Saffira was revealed to be completely unscathed, along with Wisteria's Life Points.
"Tsk..! To think you'd have something like that planned...damn you!"
"I guess that Light you're so fond of isn't so 'all-seeing' after all, is it?" Wisteria asked with a mocking smile. "Face it, girl, you're delusional!"
"I'm not delusional, and I'll still beat you! In case you've forgotten, I still have another monster! Frostosaurus, attack Saffira!"
The dinosaur screeched as it released an icy breath of its own. Unlike White Night Dragon's, however, Saffira easily batted it away with a swipe of her hand. The attack went spiraling off toward the lab ceiling, leaving Alexis to gasp in shock as it vanished into nothing.
"What-?"
"Now I know you've gone mad!" Wisteria complained, "Unlike Attack Position battles, if a monster who has Defense Points equal to the attacking monster's Attack Points...then neither monster is destroyed, and no one takes damage!"
"Guh...! I'll lay a card face-down...and end my turn," Alexis growled, glaring at her opponent. "Damn you! Damn you to the Shadow Realm! I lay one card face-down...and end my turn."
"No, it's you who should be damned to the Shadow Realm, or at least that brainwashed mind of yours!" Wisteria shouted. "It's time I snapped you out of it, and now I have just the means to do so! It's my turn, draw!"
TURN EIGHT - WISTERIA - 200 LP - FOUR CARDS
Wisteria glanced at her hand and smiled. 'Everything's ready now...it's time to win this Duel!'
"I activate...the Spell card Monster Reborn!"
"Wha-?!"
"Using that now?" Atticus asked, "But why?"
"Yes Wisteria," Alexis said, "do enlighten us, because last time I checked, there's no monster in your Graveyard that has the power to overcome my White Night Dragon!"
"Maybe not in my Graveyard..." Wisteria muttered, "but in case you've forgotten, Monster Reborn lets me summon a monster from either of our Graveyards, and thanks to how you summoned White Night Dragon, I have just the one in mind!"
"Ah!"
"No way!"
"Yes!" Konami hissed quietly with a fist-pump, watching the conquering flames light up on the field.
"Since this monster requires a tribute when revived from the Grave, I'll offer up my Dragon-type Saffira right now!"
The blue dragon queen screamed as a pillar of flame engulfed her, eradicating her form to announce the arrival of one far greater.
"The King's grand jewel shines through here, subjugating all who dare oppose him!" Wisteria hissed, grasping the flaming card as it leapt from Alexis' Duel Disk into her hand. "Ruler! Destroyer! Rise with the might of the burning sun! I beckon you here now..." she slammed the card upon her Duel Disk, right on top of where her Saffira card once laid. "...Lay them to waste, Tyrant Dragon!"
The European dragon of legend roared as it rematerialized, unleashing its flames of fury across the field wildly while glaring at its cold and frozen self.
Tyrant Dragon - LV8 - FIRE - Dragon - (2900/2600)
"You only have 300 Life Points left!" Wisteria shouted. "It's over! Tyrant Dragon, attack Frostosaurus and end this Duel!"
"Not so fast, woman!" Alexis shouted. "I'm activating my White Night Dragon's effect! When you would attack another monster, I can send a Spell or Trap card I control to the Grave, and force you to attack my White Night Dragon instead!"
"Fine by me..." Wisteria grimaced, watching as the two dragons swung together, "...because I have something else to play as well!"
"What?!" Alexis gasped.
"That's right, I play...Rush Recklessly!"
"Ah!" Alexis gasped, unable to believe it.
"With this," Wisteria explained, "Tyrant Dragon's Attack is increased by 700 points, meaning that now, he not only has enough to strength to take down that frozen copycat...but the rest of your Life Points as well! Go, Tyrant Dragon!" Wisteria shouted, throwing her fist forward in a very Konami-like fashion. "Melt her frozen heart!"
She paused, then glanced at Konami briefly. "What's it called again?"
"Tyrant..." Konami said, emphasizing the words for her, "Tidal...Flame..."
"That sounds lame," Wisteria muttered. "I know...Burst Breath!"
"Wha-? No!" Konami shouted, but it was too late. Tyrant Dragon roared at the new attack name, and unleashed the greatest torrent of fire the group had ever seen. Searing heat rained down upon them, engulfing over half of the secret lab as Alexis' gasped.
"No..." she whispered, her blank eyes widening as the flare burst through her monster and continued on towards her, "This was...my moment...! NoooooO!"
The fire consumed her, and the power of the Light within...vanished.
WISTERIA - 200 LP
ALEXIS - 0 LP
"Aah...!" Alexis gasped, being blown from the top of her crumbling mausoleum upon being defeated.
"Sissy, no!" Atticus shouted, swooping in on his Red-Eyes at the last second to catch her. "Alexis, Alexis, are you alright?!"
"A-Atticus...? Is that you...? Where am I...?" Alexis muttered, "What...happened?"
"Alexis...!" Atticus whispered happily, embracing the girl tightly as they landed.
"No way...the commander, she's lost the Light!" some of the remaining soldiers shouted in shock.
"Retreat! We have to retreat!" the others yelled. "We can't win without her!"
The sound of fleeing forces filled the lab, but Atticus didn't care about any of that. All that mattered was that the force controlling Alexis had finally been beaten... Finally, he had his sister back.
"And it's time for me to get my body..." Konami muttered, turning his gaze back toward the homunculus, "...NEXT TIME on Yu-Gi-Oh! Tag Force - Learning to Shine!"
But as he resumed his attempts to invade the empty vessel, he was completely ignorant of the fact that - far from the alchemic ritual occurring deep within Banner's secret lab - a body dressed in a dirty white coat had just staggered into the Slifer Red dorms...and collapsed.
"Body and Soul - Part 3"
END
Since it's slightly from the card and anime versions, here is Alexis' version of White Night Dragon.
White Night Dragon - LV8 - WATER - Dragon - (3000/2500)
