Jaden's Harem Season 2
Chapter 34
Co-Writer GreyKing46
We do not own these Yu-Gi-Oh characters.
Reviews:
Skull Flame: It's going to be something when it happens.
GUIPA: Of course.
Shooting Star Dragon 3000: Check the anime. It's how it works.
jedimasterb10: And a happy new year to you.
Here are some reviews from our own GreyKing46:
Zombyra: Yes that was the reason. And it was given in season 4, not 3. In season 3 they thought the problem was caused by the shock collars
Anarken Mad Bancho King: For the last time, Zana is NOT going into the harem.
Shooting Star Dragon 3000: Yes, that is how Super Poly works in the anime. Fusing from ANYWHERE

It was some hours later, Bastion was walking back to the White Dorm, doing his routine of checking in on Sartorius' plans, since he was one of his 'generals'. But this time, he wasn't prepared for this.
"Master Sartorius, why are we doing this?" One student asked. "There's not enough of us left since Jazz was taken away."
"It HAS to be done." He responded. "Time after time, our Light has been stopped by those who wish to snuff us out. I intend to illuminate their darkness. And that dimwitted teaching assistant has given us access to it. Tomorrow, we open that portal and spread the Light to the Duel Spirit realm!"
Bastion's eyes widened as he hid behind a column
'I have to tell Joel!' He thought as the meeting was adjourned and ran for the Coliseum.
*elsewhere*
Jaden was playing with Haou, bouncing him on his knee while Syrus was looked after by Fonda.
"Your Uncle Scy was a big brave man, buddy." Jaden smiled
"Sy, Sy!" Haou giggled happily, repeating his 'uncle's' nickname.
Jaden smiled proudly, kissing his forehead
"You haven't seen Zana, have you? From what I heard, she was electrocuted severely." Fonda asked
"No, I haven't. She's probably gone." Alexis answered as she was with the nurse, helping her
"I guess that makes sense. And thank you for helping me with these injuries." Fonda answered
"It's the least I could do." Alexis smiled. She spared a second to see if anyone was looking before she gave Fonda a small kiss
Jaden noticed though, cuddling his son.
He couldn't help but smile.
"So...How many duels have you been in?" Fonda asked Jaden and Alexis.
"Err...One." He flinched, making her laugh. "But it wasn't tournament based."
"Careful Jaden. You might end up losing." Alexis teased
"Considering there's a psycho mind controlling sentient Light at the school, I think I'll manage." Jaden rebutted with a cheeky grin
Alexis rolled her eyes as she saw Jaden's cockiness.
Haou was looking at his father and step-mother and laughed, patting his father on the chest.
"Aww. Thanks buddy." Jaden grinned
"I'm going out for a little bit, is that okay?" Alexis asked Fonda.
"Yes, of course. You've definitely earned it." Fonda responded. "Be safe, okay?"
Alexis nodded and left with confidence
"Bye-bye." Haou waved at her.
Alexis continued off, hearing Haou's goodbye which made her smile.
Alexis had to do something, knowing that Syrus put himself out there to try and stop his sister, SHE had to do something. 'Seika. It's time to duel.' She thought
*Elsewhere*
We find the reptile duellist alone, like a doll
She was nearly robotic, unmoving and staring into the oblivion with a glazed over stare.
The reason for this? Because Sartorius had grown tired of her and basically turned her into a blank slate
He wanted 'The Queen', not a 'concubine'. He found her useless and decided to dispose of her. If he lost her in a duel, then no loss.
...
Suddenly Sartorius appeared before her like a ghost
"Wake up." He ordered her.
She looked up with her abyss staring eyes. "M-My Lord?" She whispered
"You are to defeat Alexis Rhodes." he ordered
"A-Alexis?" She whispered as she looked at him, some spark flickered in her eyes.
"Yes. Alexis." He answered as he walked out.
STEP.
"Alexis?" She whispered as she slowly got up.
STep.
Her hands slowly clenched as Sartorius walked away.
"Alexis?" She twitched as she repeated her name.
step.
"ALEXIS!" She screamed.
SHATTER! CRASH!
A chair was thrown through the window of the room Seika was kept in. Screaming as she recalled that name. Sartorius had broken her.
*With Alexis*
Alexis felt a chill run down her spine, making her feel uneasy
"Why did that just happen? WHY?" She asked herself as she left for outside.
As it was a warm day and something felt foreboding
'Are you alright, Alexis?' Yubel asked, flying next to her.
"Yeah. Something was just... Weird."
'Well, I'm here for you. Jaden asked me to be with you today.' Yubel reassured her. 'The sisters are watching Blair.'
"Thank goodness...And-?" Alexis asked
'Dee and her sisters are looking over Syrus. They are NOT going to let their love come to hurt.' Yubel answered.
"Good to know...What's with the unconscious students?" Alexis responded and double took, seeing knocked out duellists who lost their medals.
She took a step back, seeing the state of the contestants
Unconscious, but alright. No signs of being electrocuted. Maybe this was just a good old fashioned beat down. "Hey, who did this?" She asked as she felt their foreheads
'If I had to guess-' Yubel began to ponder, before she saw one of the Dark Scorpions running away. 'Chick the Yellow? What's he doing?'
"Wait, 'Chick'? Wasn't he?" Alexis asked
'Lady Miss! Lady Queen Miss! Please. You-You have to-Oh gods!' Chick tried to speak, but after running...Sheesh!
'Whoa, whoa. Easy, calm down. What's going on?' Yubel asked
'It's Jazz! She's on a frigging warpath!' Chick panted. 'She's been duelling non-stop!'
"What?" Alexis double took. "Are you serious?"
'Would I lie to the Supreme Queen right now?' He looked at her with honest eyes and a worried tone.
"Show me." she frowned
'Okay. Phoo. Follow me.' Chick lead her while catching his breath
The two walked, while Chick lead the two. Which showed Jazz finishing another Duellist.
"ARGH!" The duellist screamed as he lost.
"Who's next? HUH?" Jazz shouted, glaring at whoever was there.
"Jazz!"
Jazz turned around and glared at Alexis. And...she looked EXHAUSTED.
"Jazz, you've got to stop." Alexis spoke, seeing Jazz there, barely hanging onto her consciousness.
She walked over, reaching out for Jazz
"Let. Let me go." Jazz panted, carrying several medals, looking at Alexis. "I-I'm not done. They- they need to-."
"YOU need to rest. You'll get your chance." Alexis urged softly
Jazz looked at Alexis and fell into her arms, exhausted and felt her mind slip into sleep.
She passed out, then and there
"I got you." She whispered as she caught her. "Dang, I JUST got out from Fonda's office."
But she didn't have time to pick Jazz up, because she felt the terrible shiver crawl up her spine...and she looked at the source of a coming sound and fear.
Seika was repeating Alexis' name, wearing her White Dorm styled duel disk, twitching like a mad-woman.
"Oh crap."
"Alexis. Alexis. ALEXIS!" Seika repeated, glaring at her opponent. "DUEL!" She demanded.
"Seika?"
"Duel. Duel, now. Duel NOW!" She called out, jagged white lightning sparked from Seika, almost invisible to those who didn't possess the power of Darkness.
Alexis' silver eyes shined, glowed, and allowed her to see her foe
And as she examined Seika...she was stunned in revulsion by what had happened to her. Her mind was broken, wiped clean. Barely a shell of who she was and what she was like.
She felt disgusted and sympathy
'The Light will PAY for this!' Yubel thought as she shielded Jazz and Alexis
"Let's duel." Alexis nodded
Alexis
4000
Seika
4000
"I'll start things off." Alexis spoke as she drew her card. It was actually a solid start, two spells, three traps and a monster.
"I summon Etoile Cyber in attack mode. And play three cards faced down." Alexis called out playing her cards.
Etoile Cyber
EARTH, Level 4, Warrior/Effect
1200 ATK/ 1600 DEF
"This ends my turn." Alexis finished
"Draw!" Seika called out, drawing her card. "Summon, Coiled Cobra!"
Coiled Cobra
EARTH, Level 3, Reptile/Effect
1300 ATK/ 1000 DEF
"Now effect. Etoile Cyber gains 1 poison counter!" Seika pointed at Alexis' monster and a purple token appeared on it. "Play 'Poison Swamp'! All 'Reptile' gain 500 ATK and destroy one spell or trap!"
The whole of Seika's field began to change, turning it into a purple mist covered swamp with thick vines and trees, deep marsh pools and mud.
Coiled Cobra
1300 - 1800
'Oh no!' Alexis thought in shock, seeing one of her traps disintegrate by the poison. 'There goes Waboku. Now she'll go for the attack, right?'
She had to be smart, trust her deck
"Play cards. End turn. Poison Counter effect!" Seika continued to speak in a broken language, setting two cards faced down and her Poison Counter's effect activated. "Lose 200 life points and monster!"
Etoile Cyber screamed as she was melted away and the venom splashed Alexis, burning her virtually.
Alexis
4000 - 3800
"Hnn! Okay, THAT'S what she does. My turn. Draw!" Alexis called out and looked at her cards
She looked at her hand, smirking
Seika just looked at Alexis and waited for what she was going to do.
"I activate the trap, Second Curtain!" she called "This revives one warrior monster destroyed by an effect during your turn, and special summons one of the same level from my deck!"
Seika just nodded and looked on at Alexis.
"I summon Cyber Ballerina!" Alexis called out.
Cyber Ballerina
EARTH, Level 4, Warrior/Effect
1700 ATK/ 1200 DEF
Summoned to Alexis' side of the field was a blue and white leotard wearing ballerina with a 'winged' face mask and silver hair.
"I now activate Cyber Devil Ritual!"
"Wh-What does. That do?" Seika asked as she was flinching.
"I tribute monsters on my field or hand in order to Ritual summon one Cyber Devil Ritual monster from my hand or deck!" She explained
"But. Which monster?" Seika asked in worry, seeing 2 Level 4 monsters on Alexis' side of the field a potential level 8 monster
"I tribute Cyber Ballerina to Ritual Summon!" Alexis called as a dark ritualistic alter appeared before them, her monster jumping atop it
Seika's eyes widened as she saw a great black void appear before Alexis, a single voice calling through the Ritual Card as Alexis summoned her monster.
"A black rose sprouts from the rotten soil, a devil bound to defend good! Ritual Summon, Level 4! Cyber Devil Coatlicue, take the stage!"
Appearing on the field was a black masked woman, blood red hair, a black frilled tutu that looked like layered rose petals, her arms had small thorns protruding from her gloves and ready to dance.
Cyber Devil Coatlicue
DARK, Level 4, Warrior/Ritual/Effect
2200 ATK / 1700 DEF
"Cyber Ballerina's effect now activates. Adding one ritual card from my grave to my hand when she is used as ritual material." Alexis explained
"A-A chain." Seika gasped and realised, seeing Alexis getting her spell card from the graveyard.
"I now activate Cyber Devil Ritual once more! Using Etoile Cyber on my field to bring forth a second Ritual Summon!"
"Cyber Devil Coatlicue's effect now activates! When I activate a Ritual Spell I can select one monster on my field and double its level! So Etoile Cyber becomes level 8 as I use it got a Ritual Summon!"
"Level 8?" Seika backed up in shock as she heard that.
Etoile Cyber
Level 4 - 8
"Now, let's go, Etoile Cyber!" Alexis called out "Swirl through the curtains of Hell! Dance the death of death! RITUAL SUMMON! Cyber Devil Hel, take the stage!" Alexis called as her eyes glowed
Appearing on the stage was a monochrome dressed ballerina, wearing a skull mask, flowing white hair, small skeleton wings, wearing a white leotard with black markings that looked like a devil's face.
Cyber Devil Hel
DARK, Level 8, Warrior/Ritual/Effect
3200 ATK/ 2200 DEF
The monster stood calm, almost dismissing as it stood there like a queen
"2200. 3200. So strong." Seika whispered in shock, looking at Coiled Cobra
Coiled Cobra
1800 ATK/ 1000 DEF
Compared to them...It was just a grass-snake.
Cyber Devil Hel nodded and bowed forward, erupting her small wings into majestic swan-like feathers, flying upwards and spun into a drill, crushing Coiled Cobra into the dust.
Cyber Devil Hel
3200
Coiled Cobra
1800
Seika
4000 - 2600
"Activate. Trap! Viper's Grudge!" Seika called out. "This card allows me to special summon 1 Level 4 or lower 'Reptile' from my hand or deck to the field. Spiked Cobra, in defence mode!"
Spike Cobra
EARTH, Level 4, Reptile/Effect
500 ATK/ 2000 DEF
500 - 1000 ATK
"Now its special ability activates. When he's special summoned I can put two 'Poison Counters' on one of your monsters!" Seika pointed at Alexis' monsters. "I choose Hel!"
Cyber Devil Hel Poison counters
0 - 2
"Well, I can still destroy your Cobra, Cyber Devil Coatlicue attacks!" Alexis responded
"Activate trap! Secret Trap. Once per turn, when one of my Reptiles are targetted for an attack, it's negated." Seika answered as Spiked Cobra dug underground
Alexis frowned as her attack missed, looking at her hand
'I don't have much. And I can't save Hel from those counters. I've only got one card.' She thought
"I end turn." she admitted, this not affecting her strategy much
"Now Poison Counters destroy Hel and deal 400 points of damage to YOU!" Seika called out
Alexis
3800 - 3400
"My turn. Draw!" Seika called out. "I play Card of Demise, I draw 5 cards and at the end of my fifth standby phase, I have to discard my hand." And she drew a fresh, albeit temporary, hand.
But there was a potential to reduce the negatives if her hand was empty at the end of her fourth turn.
She smiled gently and played her cards. "I summon Cobra Cluster to the field in ATK mode."
Cobra Cluster
EARTH, Level 1, Reptile/Effect
0 ATK/ 700 DEF
0 - 500 ATK
"But it's not staying on the field for long, I activate the spell 'Cobra Hatchling', sending my Cluster to the graveyard so I can special summon a Level 5 or 6 Reptile monster from my deck! And I choose 'Hawk Cobra'!"
Hawk Cobra
WIND, Level 6, Reptile/Effect
2400 ATK/ 1400 DEF
2400 - 2900 ATK
"Now a chain happens; since I sent 'Cobra Cluster' to the graveyard I can summon a Reptile from my graveyard. Come back 'Coiled Cobra'! And since he's back, I can put FIVE 'Poison Counters' on one of your monsters. One from Coiled Cobra and four from Hawk Cobra! And I choose Cyber Devil Coatlicue!"
Coiled Cobra
1300 - 1800 ATK
Cyber Devil Coatlicue Poison Counters
0 - 5
"And at the end of my turn, your monster will deal you 1000 of damage and be destroyed." Seika continued. "I could. I could attack, right now." She began to mumble, realising her strategy could go any which way
'She's not stable, Alexis.' Yubel thought as she saw Seika becoming more unhinged, though her vocabulary was focused.
Alexis nodded in agreement, not worried about the amount of counters
"Easy. So easy!" She mumbled. "No. I. I end my turn with a faced down."
And with that, Alexis' monster was subjugated by the Poison Counters only not to take damage.
"H-Huh? How? How did your life points survive?" Seika asked as Alexis still had her Cyber Devil Coatlicue
"When my Cyber Devil Hel is sent to the grave, until my next end phase all Cyber monsters I control are immune to destruction via card effects. Which your counters... Count as." Alexis explained, knowing she had to do something to avoid further stacking of those counters
"Damn it. Your turn then." Seika frowned, knowing that this part of the strategy was done.
"Right. Draw!" Alexis called out.
With two cards in her hand and one facedown left, Alexis wasn't in the best place right now
'With those counters on Coatlicue she won't last long...I need something. Wait.' She thought as she looked at her hand, seeing two spell cards. "I play a card faced down. And activate 'Card of Sanctity', this means we both draw until we're holding six cards. And I raise my second face down. 'Pot of Greed'!"
Within one move, Alexis managed to draw EIGHT cards, while Seika could only manage a smaller addition. "I now activate the effect of Cyber Devil Ritual from the grave! Banishing it to add one Ritual Spell from my deck to my hand!"
Seika gasped as she heard that; a ritual card that can be activated from the grave? Alexis wasn't holding back.
"I banish the Cyber Devil Ritual in my grave and add Advanced Cyber Devil Ritual to my hand from my deck." Alexis explained
"'ADVANCED Cyber Devil Ritual'? How strong ARE these monsters?" Seika asked
"Oh, just wait." Alexis smiled as she gained her card. "This card allows me to send monsters from my field and deck to the grave to ritual Summon. I'll send my level 4 Coatlicue with the Level 3 Cyber Tutu from my deck to the grave for a level 7 ritual monster!"
As the spell card and monsters were sent to the graveyard, a portal appeared before Alexis summoning her newest monster. "Come forth, Cyber Devil Persephone!"
Cyber Devil Persephone
LIGHT, Level 7, Warrior/Ritual/Effect
2900 ATK/ 2100 DEF
Emerging from the portal was first a mountain of cold air and fire, before a new dancer appeared
SHATTER!
Ice sparkled around the figure, a woman with autumn red hair, wearing a dress of midnight blue, scattered with stars and wearing a faded green sash around her hips. A skull-like mask covered her face with ruby red eyes adorning the sockets.
Cherry blossoms gently floated around her, like her very existence summoned them
'B-Beautiful.' Seika looked on at Persephone, in awe of the card.
The monster spread her arms, the petals glowing softly
"Wh-What does THIS monster do?" Seika asked, her mind slowly snapping back
"Nothing, yet. Attack Persephone! Destroy Hawk Cobra!"
Hawk Cobra
2900 ATK
Cyber Devil Persephone
2900 ATK
"But both have the same attack points! What're you doing?" Seika panicked
"Her effect activates." Alexis replied "She is immune to battle destruction."
Seika covered her face as her monster was sliced by Persephone's kick, not dealing damage to Seika, but left her open to attack
"Now Persephone's second effect! When she destroys a monster in battle she can attack another monster you control, gaining 300 ATK!" Alexis called "Attack Spike Cobra!"
Cyber Devil Persephone
2900 ATK- 3200 ATK
Seika flinched as her next monster was destroyed, her snake hissing
"Now Persephone's effect activates once more! An extra 300 ATK and another attack on another monster! Attack Coiled Cobra!"
"HIYA!"
Cyber Devil Persephone
3200 ATK- 3500 ATK
"Trap card! Secret Trap! Negates your attack!" Seika called
"And since I have no other monsters to attack with I end my battle phase, Persephone's ATK returning to normal." Alexis commented
Cyber Devil Persephone
3500 ATK- 2900 ATK
'Why did you not just attack Coiled Cobra and then destroy Hawk Cobra?' Yubel asked
'Because I knew about her trap. If I attacked a monster that would cause her damage she'd have activated her trap, as you said she's unstable so she is predictable in her priorities. If she had negated my first attack then Persephone's effect wouldn't have triggered. At least this way I got rid of two of her monsters.' Alexis answered "I end turn."
"D-Draw!" Seika twitched as she drew her card and looked at the field. "I tribute Coiled Cobra for Toxic Rattle Cobra!"
Toxic-Rattle Cobra
Level 6, EARTH, Reptile/Effect
2600 ATK/ 1200 DEF
Appearing on Seika's field was a rattlesnake monster with a bio-hazard symbol on its crown.
The Poison Swamp field spell then activated, making her monster stronger
Toxic-Rattle Cobra
2600 ATK- 3100ATK
"Effect of 'Toxic-Rattle Cobra'. Can't be destroyed by monsters with 'Poison Counters'. Your monsters aren't destroyed by the counters but you still take damage." Seika informed her
"Attack."
Toxic-Rattle Cobra
3100
Cyber Devil Persephone
2900
'Alexis!' Yubel panicked
Alexis flinched, feeling the impact and sent her stumbling back as the damage went right to her life points
Alexis
3400 - 3200
"End turn." Seika answered
"My turn. Draw!" Alexis drew her card.
'At least Persephone didn't have any Poison Counters on it.' Alexis thought, knowing that would have kept her monster around and added more damage
Alexis looked at her hand and then back at the field. She had to win this, turn it around, but with the ATK difference, it was going to be tough.
She set a monster and ended her turn. She knew how to win, she just needed the right card so she had to stall
"My turn. Draw!" Seika drew her card and looked at it
"Summon a second Coiled Cobra. Both, direct attack! End her!"
Coiled Cobra
1800 ATK
Toxic-Rattle Cobra
3100
Alexis
3200 - 100
Even with a monster in defence mode, Alexis couldn't defend herself against the vicious attack from Seika's monster
She fell to her knees panting
'Alexis!' Yubel called out and tried to help her...and felt a vile presence. The Light of Destruction. Emanating from Seika...and it was happy to see Alexis on her knees. So close to having the Queen.
'I can do this.' Alexis told herself, her eyes flashing silver with her power. "My turn. DRAW!" She called out, drawing the last card with a silver trace coming from it.
The card shone, making her look at it... And grin "I activate the spell card Cyber Devil Afterlife Ritual!"
"W-What? What does that do?" Seika backed up in worry hearing that
"It allows me to use monsters from my hand and or field to Ritual Summon a monster in the grave! But now Cyber Devil Hel's effect activates from the grave, allowing me to Banish monsters from the grave as the material needed for the Ritual Summon!" she explained
Seika's eyes shrunk back into her head. How many powerful monsters WERE there in Alexis' grave?
"I use Cyber Devil Persephone and Cyber Devil Coatlicue, banishing them, in order to revive Cyber Devil Hel! Their combined levels are 11, more than enough! RITUAL SUMMON! Hel, return from the grave!"
Summoned back from the grave, in a black flame was Cyber Devil Hel.
Cyber Devil Hel
DARK, Level 8, Warrior/Ritual/Effect
3200 ATK/ 2200 DEF
"It's stronger than Toxic-Rattle!" Seika realised
"And it's just starting. Hel's second effect activates!" Alexis called "She gains 300 ATK for every level higher than hers that was used for her Ritual Summon! She is level 8, the materials where level 11! That's a difference of three levels, so she gains 900 attack points!"
Cyber Devil Hel
3200 - 4100
"4100 ATK?" Seika realised and knew where this was going. But she had her protective traps. She could still stop this and destroy it next turn.
... Why where none of her spell and traps there?
"When a Ritual monster is used for Hel's Ritual Summon, all spell and traps you control are banished during my turn and are returned during your next draw phase." Alexis explained "Basically, during my turn, your spells and traps don't exist as they are dragged to the underworld."
"N-No!" Seika realised...she had lost.
"Hel. Take out her Coiled Cobra! Helheim Pirouette!" Alexis called out
Hel leapt into the air and span down with a drill kick, landing straight into Coiled Cobra, dealing the last remaining massive damage against its owner.
Cyber Devil Hel
4100
Coiled Cobra
1800
Seika
2600 - 300
Seika was kicked away, landing on her back as Alexis' monster had almost decimated her lifepoints with that one kick.
... wait... Why was Alexis grinning?
"Why? Why are you? Grinning?" Seika asked as she looked at her.
"The effect of the monster you destroyed last time. Cyber UnderStudy. She is a level one monster who's effect activates from the grave. When a Cyber monster destroys a monster in battle I Banish UnderStudy and deal damage equal to half the attack points of the destroyed monster." Alexis explained simply
"I-I've lost." Seika wept as she lay on her back, awaiting for the pain of the monster to kick her in the gut...but instead, she saw it helping her up and hugged her.
Seika
300 - 0
ALEXIS WINS!
Seika stood there, wide eyed like she was trapped in herself
'I-I don't. Understand.' She thought as she was trapped by the Light. Broken by Sartorius.
Alexis walked forwards with a frown. She had seen Jaden cure people afflicted with the light by simply winning the Duel. But she wasn't strong enough yet.
She had to do a BIT more
She walked towards Seika and remembered... Everything
Every fight, every argument between the two
She had to feel that surge of emotions, trying to recall EVERYTHING.
She hated Seika. She genuinely did
But even so...She couldn't leave her like this. Like a vegetable that was under Sartorius' control.
She reached out and hugged her, pulling her rival into a hug
Seika was stunned. How? How could Alexis do this? Even after ALL she had caused her.
The darkness washed over the two, coming out of Alexis and pouring into the other girl
Seika could feel it, the power of Darkness. She felt her mind slowly coming back together, back to normal.
The light leaving her body
Seika's arms began to twitch, wanting to raise them as she felt more and more herself. Light slowly returning to her eyes
The conscious kind of light, not the evil one.
Seika's eyes began to return to normal...and she hugged Alexis back, crying as she had regained her mind.
She came back to herself, finally
And for the first time. In for what seems as a long time; Seika cried, hugging her rival.
She was finally free.
