Alastor: 4000 LP

Professor Frank: 4000 LP

"So this is your other self," the Professor remarked. "Galactic Ruler, attack!" Alastor shouted. "Not so fast, I play my Gestalt Trap, which will reduce your monster's attack and defense to 0 and prevent you from using his special ability." Frank said. A clamp shot out and wrapped itself around Galactic Ruler's arms, trapping him in place. "I place a card face-down. Next, due to Prodigy's effect, since I tributed him to summon a HERO monster, I can draw 1 card at the end of my turn," Alastor said, drawing a card.

"My turn, I draw. And I play the equip spell Immortal Homeostasis on your monster. With this, he cannot be destroyed in battle, but during each of your standby phases, you will take 300 points of damage if his attack points are different from their original value." the Professor explained. Alastor just stared at the man with a neutral expression on his face. "Now I sacrifice my monster to summon Ido the Supreme Magical Force."

ATK 2200/DEF 800

"And now Ido, attack his monster." the Professor ordered. "I play the trap Power Wall, so for every card I send from the top of my deck to the graveyard, 100 points of damage from this battle is cancelled. I send 22 cards to the grave to make the damage 0." Alastor declared, placing most of his deck in his graveyard. He now had 5 cards left in his deck. "My, quite risky, sending so many cards to the graveyard to avoid some damage." the professor stated. "I end my turn." he said. "My move." Alastor said drawing a card, bringing his deck down to 4 cards. "And due to the effect of my Immortal Homeostasis, you lose 300 life points," the professor declared.

Alastor: 3700

"I play the spell Dark Fusion. I merge Evil HERO Voltage and Evil HERO Stone Guardian in order to summon Evil HERO Lightning Golem," Alastor declared. His monster appeared and stood at attention. "And now I activate Lightning Golem's effect. Once each turn, he can destroy any monster in play. Destroy Ido with Voltic Ball!" Alastor shouted. Lightning Golem launched a sphere of black electricity at Ido, destroying it. "And now that your monster is gone, I can attack you directly. Lightning Golem, attack with Dark Lightning!" he shouted. "Not so fast, I play the Rainbow Life trap card. So by sending one card in my hand to the graveyard, instead of taking damage this turn, I gain life points equal to the damage I would receive." the professor said, discarding one card.

Professor: 6400

"In a shocking twist, the professor has increased his life points to 6400! Has Alex finally met his match?" the MC asks. "I place 1 card face-down and end my turn," Alastor said as a card appeared. "But now the effect of my monster activates. At the end of the turn Ido the Supreme Magical Force is destroyed, it revives itself." the professor explained. Meanwhile, Yusei was still watching in the waiting room. What did he do to Alex? I've gotta help him. he thought to himself before getting up and heading to the duel field.

"My turn, I draw. And now Ido, attack his Galactic Ruler." the professor declared. "I play a trap, Altar for Tribute. So by sacrificing my monster, I gain life points equal to his original attack points. You've served your purpose, now vanish." Alastor said as Galactic Ruler dissolved into particles of light, which flew to him, restoring his life points.

Alastor: 6200 LP

"Alex has almost tied the score, but with Ido's effect to revive itself, he'll have his work cut out for him," the MC said. "From my hand, I play the equip spell Axe of Fools onto your Lightning Golem. This will give him 1000 more attack points, but will disable his special ability. I end my turn." the professor said. "My turn, I draw." Alastor declared.

Alastor's deck: 3 cards

That's when Yusei made it to the duel field. "Alex! Alex!" he shouted. "Stop calling me that. I am not the same boy you knew. For years I have been locked away in Alex's subconscious mind. But now that I'm free, I intend to have some fun, so stay out of my way. This is your only warning." Alastor declared. "What do you mean you've been locked away in Alex's subconscious?" Yusei asked. "While I'd love nothing more than to tell you how I came to be, I'm a little busy at the moment, so if you really want to know, go ask the boy's father," he said. "Now, where were we? Oh, that's right, it was my turn. I play the spell H-Heated Heart on my Lightning Golem. For this turn, he gains 500 attack points."

Lightning Golem: 3400-3900

"Now attack, with Dark Lightning!" Alastor shouted. Lightning Golem struck Ido, and his lightning passed through the monster, striking the professor, sending him flying. "What's this? That attack was real, does Alex possess the same powers as Akiza?" the MC remarked. The crowd started speaking among themselves, shocked there were 2 people in the tournament that could bring duel monsters to life.

Professor: 4700 LP

"I end my turn," Alastor declared. "And now Ido is revived," the professor stated. "I draw, and due to Axe of Fools, you take 500 points of damage," the professor explained.

Alastor: 5700 LP

"I play the spell card Messenger of Peace, now monsters that have 1500 or more attack points cannot attack. I end my turn," he said. "My move, I draw." Alastor said, now having 2 cards left. "I play Pot of Greed, so now I draw 2 cards," he said, drawing the last cards in his deck. "But now you lose on your very next turn," the professor said. "Unless I defeat you this turn," Alastor stated.

"I play the spell card Mystical Space Typhoon in order to destroy your Messenger of Peace." A cyclone appeared from the card and destroyed the professor's card. "And now I play the spell Share the Pain. Now we must both sacrifice a monster we control," Alastor said. "But I only have one monster," the professor stated. "Exactly, so you must send Ido to the graveyard. However, since Lightning Golem is the only monster I have, he's sent to the graveyard as well," Alastor said.

Both players sent their monsters to the graveyard. "But now you have nothing left to attack me with," the professor said. "Not for long," Alastor said, placing a card from his hand in his spell and trap zone. "I play the spell Dark Calling, and with it, I remove Evil HERO Galactic Ruler and Evil HERO Lightning Golem in my graveyard from the game, in order to summon my most powerful servant. Bear witness as the greatest hero descends into the eternal darkness and arises as a new evil. I summon Evil HERO Neos," Alastor said. A monster that looked like an evil version of Elemental HERO Neos appeared.

ATK 2500/ DEF 2000

"But that monster only has 2500 attack points, even if he attacks, I'll still have life points," the professor declared. "You're forgetting 2 words, Special Effect. Evil HERO Neos gains 300 attack for every Evil Hero monster in my graveyard. So with 19 Evil Heroes in my grave, he gains 5,700 attack points, giving him a total of-"

Evil HERO Neos: 2500-8200

"It has 8200 attack points?!" the professor exclaimed, shaking in fear. "And now I play the Pump Up spell card. This will double the attack of a monster on the field. So Evil HERO Neos' attack points are doubled," Alastor explained as he played the spell card.

Evil HERO Neos: 8200-16400

"And now I activate the effect of Blade Graveyard. By banishing it from my graveyard, one card from either of our graveyards is added to my hand, and I choose Pump Up, which I'll use again," Alex said as he played the card again.

Evil HERO Neos: 16400-32800

"And since I have another Blade Graveyard in my graveyard, I think I'll use Pump Up again," Alastor said as he used the spell for a third time.

Evil HERO Neos: 32800-65600

"And why not do it again? I banish the third Blade Graveyard in order to use Pump Up a fourth time," Alastor said, using the spell for the fourth time.

Evil HERO Neos: 65600-131200

"Incredible, Evil HERO Neos' attack points have surpassed 100,000! Alex has pulled out all the stops to make his monster as powerful as possible!" the MC said. "I've never seen so many attack points on a single monster," Tanner said, amazed and terrified by Alex's skill at the same time. "That's not Alex dueling," Luna said. "What do you mean Luna?" Leo asks. "Alex would never go so overboard like this. He's not acting like himself," Luna said, worried about her friend.

"Now my monster, attack with Dark Cosmic Blast!" Alastor commanded. Neos rose up in the air, and charged a ball of energy that looked like a contained black hole and threw it at the Professor, but as it was flying through the air, it kept growing in size, until it was as big as a wrecking ball. When it made contact, it exploded into a mushroom cloud of black energy. The professor could be heard screaming in agony. Meanwhile, Alastor was laughing like a madman, loving the suffering the Professor was enduring.

Professor: 0 LP

Winner: Alastor

The side of the arena where the attack landed was smashed into rubble, with the Professor laying among the debris. "And the duel is over. Alex is the winner," the MC announced. Everyone in the arena had gone silent, in shock and terror of what they just witnessed. "Let this duel serve as a warning to my opponents. Anyone who duels me shall fall, even the great Jack Atlas shall lose by hand," Alastor said before walking off. "I don't believe it, Alex has just declared that he will win the tournament and defeat Jack Atlas! Can anyone stop this dueling prodigy?" the MC said.

Alastor walked past Yusei, who put his hand on the boy's shoulder. "Alex you need to snap out of it," Yusei said. Alastor smacked his hand away. "I told you to stop calling me that. The boy you knew as Alex is gone, and while he may have been your friend, you are nothing but an opponent to me. That said, I do hope that if and when we duel, you give me a proper challenge," he said before walking off.

What happened to you Alex? Yusei thought as he walked off. Yusei went off to find Alex's father to get some answers. He didn't have to go far, as he soon encountered Jaden. "Have you seen Alex?" he asked Yusei. "Yes, but he's saying that he's not Alex, but some alternate personality, what happened to him?" Yusei asked him. "It's a long story, so I suggest you sit down." Jaden said.

The tournament was on hold so that the arena could be repaired. While the repairs were being made, Goodwin and Jack looked down at the field and analyzed what they just witnessed. "So, now that you've seen the boy's true power, what happens now Goodwin?" Jack asked. "Now, we see if the boy can defeat the signers or not," Goodwin said. I may have gotten more than I bargained for. Hopefully Yusei, Akiza, or Jack can defeat him. Hopefully that will bring his dominant personality back. Goodwin thought to himself. "Lazar, see if you can get him to come here and speak to me," Goodwin said. "Yes sir," Lazar said before walking off to find Alastor.

Hey guys. Been a while since I updated. I've been busy with work around the house lately. To make up for it, and because it's Christmas Eve, I'm gonna upload a few chapters. Well, looks like Alastor won the duel. And by the way, this is the biggest overkill you all are gonna see for a while, and most likely the whole series. I just wanted Alastor's first duel to end with as big a bang as possible. Also, I hated the Professor, so that definitely had a hand in it. Hope you all enjoyed the duel, and I'll see you in the next chapter.
