bopdog111: Everyone had some time to themselves with Yu, and Jesse's disappearances.

Ulrich362: True, and it sounds like Neos might have a plan to bring them back from... whatever happened to them.

bopdog111: And that's heading back.

Ulrich362: True, so let's see how that goes. Enjoy the chapter.

Syrus was kneeling over Rise the next day rubbing her back over the toilet. Rise groaned. "Syrus... this sucks."

"I know." Syrus said to her gently.

She smiled softly. "Thanks for staying with me."

He smiled back before she felt the need to puke again. She moaned before throwing up into the toilet and groaning weakly. Syrus flushed it before helping Rise off helping her wipe her mouth while also helping her rinse her mouth.

"Thanks." Rise smiled before frowning. "What are we going to do now though?"

Syrus looked down, "I'm sorry."

She just hugged him with tears. He hugged her back before saying, "Rise... We will keep on going for Yu's sake... stop the Shadows, and also... Raise our baby together after we graduate."

"Syrus... thank you." she whispered.

He kissed her. She kissed him back with a small smile only to pull back and look confused. "Come Kouzeon!"

Her Persona appeared only for Rise to immediately look sick and collapse to her knees.

"Rise!?" Syrus asked instantly concerned.

"I... sensed Jaden but when I summoned my Persona..." she started before her eyes widened and she put a hand to her mouth before throwing up in the toilet again and groaning.

Syrus rubbed her back before someone knocked where they heard Yukiko asked, "Rise? Are you okay in there?"

"Come in!" Syrus called.

Yukiko walked in only to gasp. "Rise-chan?"

Syrus helped Rise wiped her mouth while flushing.

"Is she ok?" Yukiko asked Syrus.

Syrus turned to her before saying, "She's..." He looked to Rise if she wants him to tell her. Rise just nodded. Syrus took a breath before saying, "Rise... is pregnant."

Yukiko's eyes widened before she smiled softly. "Congratulations you two."

Syrus slowly helped Rise stand up. She smiled before turning to Yukiko. "How's everyone else doing?"

"Nanako, and Belowski are by themselves, Blair is staying with Marcel close, Chie, and Yosuke went to the Ra Dorm together with Naoto, and Kanji-kun, and Jasmine, and Ted are just by themselves..." Yukiko admitted, "I haven't seen Jaden since we came back."

"Jaden..." Syrus whispered sadly.

"Why did Jesse have to stay behind, and what happened to Yu?" he asked quietly looking down.

"We... we should all try and figure out what to do." Rise admitted.

Syrus rubbed Rise's lower back hearing that.

"I'll let the others know, where should we meet?" Yukiko asked.

"The Slifer Cafeteria?" Syrus suggested.

She nodded before walking out at that.


Later...

Everyone had gathered in Slifer's Cafeteria to discuss what to do but Jaden wasn't with them.

"Great, where's the slacker now?" Chazz questioned. "You'd think if anyone would be here it would be him."

"Just stop Chazz." Alexis told him with stern eyes, "We all lost two friends today, it's taking a lot out of Jaden."

"I still don't get it, Jesse was the one who dueled Yubel right?" Chumley asked. "So what happened to Yu?"

"Your asking the wrong people Chum." Atticus told him.

"Maybe the Kirijo Group can know what exactly happened?" Adrian suggested.

"I doubt that." Naoto admitted. "That world we were in... it's completely different from anything related to the Shadows or Personas."

Yuzu sighed frustrated, "I know, I'm suppose to be a kind of leader in this scenario but I feel lost! What are we suppose to do? We have no idea where Yu is, and Jesse along with Yubel are both gone, and Rise is having a baby, and we have no idea what exactly we're supposed to do!"

Zane closed his eyes in thought. "Maybe we do."

But everyone blinked hearing about what she said about Rise.

"Wait what?" Chazz questioned in disbelief before staring at Syrus.

Syrus blushed before asking Yuzu, "How did you know?"

"Before meeting Banner, and being a Professor here, I was a doctor for deliveries of children." Yuzu answered.

Syrus blushed only to pause. "But... we'll be leaving the island before the birth right?"

"Right now though our situation with Yu, and Jesse comes first." Yuzu told him sighing, "We'll talk more once we figure something out."

"We should really find Jaden. He already left once." Kanji pointed out reminding everyone of what happened after Aster beat Jaden.

Speaking of Aster he noticed something before widening his eyes, "Speak of the devil! He's outside!"

Hearing that they all turned. Out the window Jaden was walking taking out of some cards of his Deck which was Neos, and his Neo Spacians. Seeing that Alexis walked out. "Jaden?"

Flinching he slowly looked over. She walked over before gently embracing him. "Are you ok?"

"Alexis..." he trailed off.

She frowned before kissing him softly. "It'll be ok Jaden."

"I... found a way to get Jesse, and Yu back." Jaden told her.

"You did?" she asked in shock. "How?"

"My Personas..." he looks back at the seven cards, "Their both still alive in the different dimension. They can open the way for me to head there, and rescue them."

"You mean for us to rescue them." Aster told him as the others walked up to them.

"I got them in there... I got to get them out." Jaden told them.

"Well you're not doing it on your own." Chie told him.

"She's right, we're all going back for them." Yosuke agreed.

"But I..." Jaden trailed off.

Alexis just hugged him again. "Let us help you Jaden."

He looked before he nodded before turning to Rise, "But Rise will not be doing some fighting while we're there. We don't know if it can harm her, and Syrus' baby."

"Alright." Rise nodded.

With that he raised the cards as Glow Moss, Air Hummingbird, Flare Scarab, Ground Mole, Dark Panther, Aqua Dolphin, and lastly Neos all rose up concentrating energy. Seeing that Syrus gently squeezed Rise's hand. Soon they all created a multicolored portal.

"Let's bring them back." Chie grinned.

Everyone soon walked in as a bright light assured. A few moments later the light faded. They all looked around seeing their in what looks like the remains of a village while noticing someone was in a small shack.

"Hello?" Blair asked walking to the shack slowly.

Who was in the shack looked up before lowering the hood showing it's Tania. Seeing her Bastion's eyes widened. "Tania?"

"Bastion?" Tania asked shocked herself, "What are you all doing here?"

"It's a long story." he answered. "What's going on?"

"The Supreme King." Tania answered.

"Supreme King?" Aster asked hearing that.

"A monarch who rules over the army of Dark World." Tania answered standing up, "The wielder of the Gentle Darkness, and is a being of huge power."

Hearing that Aster turned to Jaden.

"What?" Jaden asked him.

"Our duel Jaden, did you forget already?" Aster questioned. "When I beat you?"

"How's that suppose to relate to this Supreme King?" Jaden asked with a slight glare, "I'm only here to get Jesse, and Yu back!"

"Yu?" Tania asked blinking, "What happened to him?"

"He just disappeared after we got out of this Dimension." Jaden explained.

Tania frowned before saying, "I thought that was him, I saw a while ago."

"Can you take us to him?" Naoto asked her.

"I don't think it's a good idea. His aura seemed different, and he doesn't look like himself." Tania admitted to her, "And not only that I sensed something dangerous from him."

"Dangerous?" Teddie asked nervously.

"But the only thing that strike me is that... his eyes are now yellow." Tania revealed to them.

Hearing that the members of the Investigation Team all froze hearing that.

"Yellow eyes? But isn't that the main thing that the Shadows...?" Adrian trailed off hearing that.

"I don't know, but we'll have to find him to be sure." Yosuke answered.

"People, aren't you missing the bigger problem?" Aster pointed out to them in annoyance.

"No, we aren't. We're standing here doing nothing when we should be finding Yu, and Jesse!" Jaden couldn't help but snap at Aster.

"That's rich coming from the Supreme King himself." Aster countered.

SMACK!

Aster winced and covered his cheek.

"Don't you try to pin this on him Aster!" Alexis glared at him, "Jaden is not him plain, and simple!"

"Then you explain what happened in our duel, his Evil HERO cards and the Supreme King's Castle field spell." Aster reminded her.

"It was just a coincidence!" Alexis pointed out, "Jaden would never order people to attack others!"

"Actually, there is one explanation." Rise mentioned before groaning. "Something that could explain all of it."

"Rise, don't push yourself." Syrus said placing her arm around his shoulders.

"The Supreme King... might be Jaden's Shadow." she told them.

"But what about his Personas? They along with the Shadow are one, and the same aren't they?" Hassleberry asked her, "So if Sir Jaden's Shadow are his Personas how does that justify what Aster's saying?"

"Wait a second, Labrys!" Yosuke realized. "Her persona didn't fully awaken so her shadow could still exist... it even had its own Persona. I mean, she is a robot like Aigis but if Jaden's connection to Yubel were weakened it's possible he could have a Shadow."

"We'll find out later, right now we need to find Jesse and Yu." Chumley mentioned. "Right guys?"

"Right!" Jaden instantly agreed.

Tania offered, "Come on, I'll take you where I seen Yu last." She snapped her fingers before Bass the Amazoness Tiger walked over softly growling before telling Rise, "You don't look okay to be on your feet. Like Bass carry you."

She just nodded at that. "Thanks."

Syrus helped her on Bass just as Tania started to guide them through the Dark Dimension, and the more they walked they seen just how desolated it was with several villages destroyed. Suddenly what looked like a small fairy holding a key flew up to them looking terrified.

"Is that... Key Mace?" Yuzu asked recognizing it as one of the many monsters Belowski has.

She was trembling and flew to Tania. Tania softly held her before asking, "Key Mace, are you okay?"

"The village... it was completely destroyed." Key Mace told her while shaking violently. "Another purple flash, and then nothing... I saw it happen."

"Did anyone saw you escape?" Tania asked her.

"I... don't think so." she answered.

Tania nodded, "Then that means, none of them seen you." She turned to the group, "Ever since they started attacking no one was safe. I'm their only safeguard at this point but even I have limits. While we look for Yu if you help me out I'd be grateful."

"Of course." Bastion nodded at that.

Tania turned back to Key Mace, "Take us to the village. We're gonna stop those invaders one way, or another, and rescue who survived."

Key Mace shuddered but nodded. Key Mace flew ahead to where they can find the village before to their horror all that was left was a massive crater.

"What the hell?" Tania asked shocked, "I mean, I know how ruthless his troops are but they never went this far."

"Oh, you're familiar with the god of this and all worlds?" asked a female voice.

Hearing that they all looked around. What lowered was a woman that has curled fancy green hair with a white suit that has tiny black vertical lines all over with black gloves on, and barefeet having on a grey pattered skirt like robe around her waist with the front exposed.

Tania glared at the woman, "What have you done?"

"Me, this was the work of a god." the woman replied calmly.

"Clotho?" Yosuke asked shocked.

"You know her, mate?" Jim asked him hearing that.

Teddie said nervously, "She's one of Senpai's Personas. But why is she here like this?"

"In studies, I read Clotho is also one of the three Sisters of Fate in Greece." Chumley mentioned.

Tania however said with a glare, "I don't give a damn who she is. She harmed innocents, and that is something for me to take action upon!"

"Oh, you want to fight me?" Clotho inquired. "Alright."

At that a Duel Disk appeared on her arm.

"A Persona... That can duel?" Syrus asked seeing this, "That's definitely a first."

"What now?" Marcel asked them.

She told everyone, "Everyone let me handle this rabble." She stepped forward as a Duel Disk materialized on her arm being activated, "Key Mace stay behind me!"

Key Mace nodded fearfully.

"Alright, let's see what you can do." Clotho smirked.

"DUEL!"

"Not much trouble." Tania said seeing this.

"If that's all we're up against this should be easy." Aster smirked.

"Well be careful around here. Dueling here is dangerous." Tania told them before saying, "We don't know where the Supreme King is."

"Right now, I don't care about him! Let's find Jesse, and Yu!" Jaden ran ahead.

"Jaden!" Alexis cried as they ran after him.

Jaden looked around intent to find them while passing through different village remains.

"Jaden stop!" Alexis cried grabbing his arm.

"Get your hands off me!" Jaden snapped shaking himself free from her.

Her eyes shot open at that. "Jaden..."

He ignored her concern looking around for Yu, and Jesse.

She frowned at that before just letting Jaden run off on his own.

"Alexis what are you doing!?" Blair asked her in disbelief running after Jaden, "We can't leave him by himself!"

"He doesn't care about any of us Blair." Alexis told her taking Blair's arm. "Just... let him go."

"Of course he does! He wants to get Jesse, and Yu back a lot!" Blair snapped to her, "Would you do the same if it was Jaden who's missing!?"

Alexis just looked away not saying anything. A explosion happened where Jaden ran off. Hearing that they all ran towards the explosion. They see a village is currently being attacked while Jaden is passing by the fiend guards.

"Jaden look out!" Syrus cried.

"Where are they!?" Jaden yelled catching the attention of the guards, "Where's Yu, and Jesse?"

"Look what we got here, a little hero." a silver armored fiend said to the with a smirk, "And he thinks he can stop Lord Brron's advance."

All the guards laughed at this before the fiend said to Jaden, "Well then, what are you gonna do if we don't answer your question?"

Jaden's eyes glowed before he said, "Then, I'll make you talk!" He activated his Duel Disk.

"Jaden..." Syrus whispered nervously seeing how he was acting.

"You dare disrespect Lord Brron!" the armored fiend spat before a fiendish Duel Disk a part of his body materialized, "Fine, I'll make you pay for your insolence!"

The two prepared themselves.

"DUEL!"

"He didn't sent the monsters he used to summon it to the graveyard? And without a Fusion card?" Arkfiend asked himself seeing this.

"I have a bad feeling about this." Yosuke frowned.

Jaden glared, "Glow Neos' ability activates! Destroy Dimensional Fissure!" Glow Neos fired an orb from his hands at the portal which destroyed it which made Arkfiend looked on befuddled, "Now Glow Neos attack this worm!"

Glow Neos charged in passing Arkfiend's monster form striking him directly forcing him to kneel. (Mekanikal Arkfiend: 1500/Hand: 1)

Neos' attack was blocked before he added, "Then that warrior goes to the graveyard!" Necro Gardna vanished from Jaden's hand.

"He was reckless." Chazz frowned.

Arkfiend reveals it to be Moon Mirror Shield, "Spell Card! Glow Moss attacks you directly!" Glow Moss fired a small spear striking Arkfiend. (Mekanikal Arkfiend: 1200/Hand: 2)

Mekanikal Arkfiend: (Equipped with United We Stand)

"That's a strange combo, it isn't good for Jaden though." Aster pointed out.

"United We Stand gives myself 800 points for every monster on my field!" Arkfiend called.

Mekanikle Arkfiend: (ATK: 100 + (800 * 2) = 1700/DEF: 2100 + (800 * 2) = 3700)

"Now Masked Chopper attack Neos!" Arkfiend called as Masked Chopper charged at the strongest monster, "Due to Moon Mirror Shield it's points are always 100 above your monster's attack or defense points whichever's higher!"

Masked Chopper: (ATK: 100 + 2500 = 2600/DEF: 100 + 2500 = 2600)

"It's only 100 points, so Jaden should be ok." Chie mentioned. "Right you guys?"

Chopper slashed down Neos destroying him. (Jaden: 3900/Hand: 1)

Arkfiend then smirked, "Masked Chopper's ability activates!" Masked Chopper stabs the ground with his butcher blades starting to chant a forbidden verse, "At anytime this monster destroys your monster you take an additional 2000 points of damage!"

"Say what?" Jaden asked shocked.

"Jaden!" Alexis cried hearing that.

Masked Chopper let lose a curse which made Jaden winced holding his head. (Jaden: 1900/Hand: 1) Arkfiend didn't stop, "Now Arkfiend rid us of the Light Spawn!"

Arkfiend's monster form charged an attack firing at Glow Moss before Jaden grunted calling, "Signal Check!" Glow Moss charged his three orbs which Arkfiend drew showing it's Earthquake which made Jaden grunt before Arkfiend destroyed Glow Moss. (Jaden: 0500/Hand: 1)

"Then Arkfiend's own ability activates! Whenever I deal damage in battle, I summon a Normal Monster from my hand or graveyard!" Arkfiend smirked lifting a card from his hand.

"If he summons something now Jaden's done for!" Marcel mentioned nervously.

"He rushed ahead and now he's done." Aster frowned.

"Go Zure destroy him!" Zure charged in brandishing his blade but Jaden called, "I activate Necro Gardna's effect in my graveyard!"

"What?" Arkfiend watched as Zure's attack was blocked, "Was that the card, I discarded with the Forceful Checkpoint!?"

"That bought him one turn, but Jaden doesn't have any monsters." Zane frowned.

Arkfiend grunted, "You delayed your fate mortal." Taking a card he called, "I activate the spell, Earthquake!"


Earthquake

Normal Spell Card

Change all face-up monsters on the field to Defense Position.


"This card's effect forces all monsters to go to defense mode!"

A quake happened which forced Masked Chopper to kneel with his butcher blades sticking from the ground, Zure to kneel with his hand on his standing sword, and Arkfiend's monster form to kneel down erecting an energy barrier.

Masked Chopper: (Defense Position)

Zure, Knight of Dark World: (Defense Position)

Mekanikal Arkfiend: (Defense Position/ATK: 1700 + 800 = 2500/DEF: 3700 + 800 = 4500)

"4500 defense points? There's no way Jaden can get past that." Rise panicked before groaning again.

Syrus rubbed her back as Arkfiend told him, "I end my turn." 'I had set Scrubbed Raid earlier... I didn't use it before cause, I was willing to take a little damage allowing me to drop his guard. When he starts battle it will end his battle before his monsters gets a chance to attack. Bring it!'

"I discard Neo-Spacian Air Hummingbird from my hand, and send Neo-Spacian Aqua Dolphin to my graveyard to draw 2 cards!" Jaden drew two cards, "Then, I activate Miracle Contact!"


Miracle Contact

Normal Spell Card

Shuffle into the Deck, from your hand, field, or GY, the Fusion Materials that are listed on an "Elemental HERO" Fusion Monster that lists "Elemental HERO Neos" as Fusion Material, then Special Summon that Fusion Monster from your Extra Deck, ignoring its Summoning conditions.


"With it, I shuffle Neos, Air Hummingbird, and Aqua Dolphin to my Deck to perform a Triple Contact Fusion!" Jaden called as the three mentioned Personas flew up merging together.

"Is it enough?" Kanji asked.

"At this time, the power of 3 becomes 1... from a faraway universe on the other side, the strongest warrior awakens! Triple Contact Fusion! Appear from the depths of the spinning galaxy! Elemental HERO Storm Neos!"

What lowered down was a purple scaled Neos with wings arming himself with two large talons.


(Attack Position)

Elemental HERO Storm Neos

WIND

Level 9

Warrior/Effect/Fusion

ATK: 3000

DEF: 2500

"Elemental HERO Neos" + "Neo-Spacian Air Hummingbird" + "Neo-Spacian Aqua Dolphin"
Must first be Special Summoned (from your Extra Deck) by shuffling the above cards you control into the Deck. (You do not use "Polymerization".) Once per turn: You can destroy all Spell and Trap Cards on the field. During the End Phase: Shuffle this card into the Extra Deck. When this card is shuffled into the Extra Deck this way: Shuffle all cards on the field into the Deck.


"That might be enough." Zane mentioned thoughtfully.

"Storm Neos' special ability destroys all your Spell, and Trap cards!"

"Their all what?" Arkfiend questioned shocked as Storm Neos let out a strong tempest destroying Moon Mirror Shield, United We Stand, and the face-down, Scrubbed Raid. With United We Stand's effect now gone Arkfiend's monster form loses strength.

Mekanikal Arkfiend: (ATK: 2500 - (800 * 3) = 100/DEF: 4500 - (800 * 3) = 2100)

"My monsters are still in defense mode though, so you can't damage my life points." Arkfiend pointed out.

Jaden however called, "Not when, I use H - Heated Heart!"


H - Heated Heart

Normal Spell Card

Target 1 face-up monster you control; until the end of this turn, it gains 500 ATK, and if it attacks a Defense Position monster, inflict piercing battle damage to your opponent.


"This allows a monster to gain 500 points!"

Storm Neos: (ATK: 3000 + 500 = 3500)

"But if he attacks a monster in Defense Mode, the damage is still dealt to you!" Jaden glared at Arkfiend.

"It what?" Arkfiend questioned.

"Go Storm Neos! Finish him!"

Storm Neos charged a tempest attack blasting a wind attack which destroyed all three while Arkfiend screamed being pushed back with his back colliding against the stone wall which cracked a bit lowering down to a sitting position while the guards turned to Jaden shocked, and astonished.


Jaden: 0500

Hand: 0

Field: Elemental HERO Storm Neos (Attack Position/ATK: 3500/Inflict piercing damage)

Arkfiend: 0000

Hand: 0

Field: Masked Chopper (Defense Position), Zure, Knight of Dark World (Defense Position)

Jaden wins!


"Jay?" Syrus asked nervously. "Are you alright?"

Jaden breathed before looking around the guards, "Anyone else want any of this next!?"

The guards stepped back frightened before one called, "Retreat!"

"You'll regret this!" one promised as they ran leaving Arkfiend behind with them.

SLAP!

Jaden froze from that. Alexis was glaring at him. "You have to calm down!"

"Lex..." Jaden trailed of.

Hearing a weakened chuckle they looked to see Arkfiend slowly standing up with his hand on the rock wall behind him to help him stand, "So... Your held back by that girl aren't ya... You need her to control your reigns don't you?"

"What?" Yosuke questioned as they turned to Arkfiend.

Jaden only glared, "I won the match, so where is Yu, and Jesse?"

As Arkfiend started to glow he sneered, "Assuming they haven't been done it by now..." He coughed, and hack from his mask heaving down before looking back up, "Lord Brron should have them prisoner in his castle..."

He only smirked up to them, "But unlike me, Lord Brron will never lose to the likes of you... I'll see you all soon... From the stars!" He glowed bright before being dispelled into particles as they watched.


Ulrich362: Well… that sounds bad.

bopdog111: And Jaden's going down the path to darkness.

Ulrich362: What now?

bopdog111: Now heading toward Brron's castle but are encountered by someone tied to this 'Supreme King'.

Ulrich362: Makes sense to me. See you in the next chapter.

bopdog111: Be sure to review!
