Well, I got more reviews! Yay!Oh, and to reply to himig's reviews...

Man-eater bug can defeat Gearfried 'cause he is a man (look at gearfriend the swordsmaster/release restraint). Then Giant Orc can destroy a spell 'cause its a totally different game. And there isn't a Primos Gryphon in real life.

Anyway, on with the fic! RER!

EDIT (7/18): Took away the "Chapter 17:" part in the title to keep the format of the titles the same for all chapters.

Aftermath

Zane laughed as the black ball began to condense. "NO!" Chiaki screamed. Masato closed his eyes and fell forward.

Zane stopped laughed and opened his eyes. He then saw the two cards Masato had in his hand that he claimed would let him win, and Zane's eyes widened when he saw the spell and trap card. R-ring of d-destruction and defense? With those two cards he would have been able to win! So that means I still lost... he's still better than me. He could have won; he could have beaten me, yet he decided not to. And not only that, but it also made him lose his soul. Why would he do that? Why... did I use the shadow card anyway? What was the point of it? I lost anyway, and now I lost his soul. Why? Why? Why? What have a done? What have I done? What... have... I... DONE? Zane's mind opened and he realized the full extent of what he had done. By this time Chiaki, Kaito, and Syrus had crowded around Masato. Zane tried to run over to Masato but Chazz stepped in front of him, stopping Zane, and put his arms out defensively.

"I think you've done enough," Chazz said angrily.

"But... but... I just want help..." Zane answered weakly.

"How do I know you won't hurt him or something?" Chazz questioned.

"You... you don't. You have to trust me," Zane said, looking down.

"I don't think I can to that, with what you've just done," Chazz said.

Zane stepped forward and was about to push Chazz aside, but then he realized that doing that would make them distrust them even more. "I guess I'll go tell Sheppard what I did. Someone is going to tell him sooner or later," he said, turning his back, walking away.

"Looks like you're the best in the academy again, big bro," Zane heard Syrus said sarcastically. "Good job."

Zane turned around and saw Syrus standing there. "Syrus... I... I'm sorry."

"Yeah right," Syrus said as turned about and walked back to Masato.

"I'm very disappointed in you Zane," the Chancellor, sitting at his deck, said.

"I know... I don't know what came over me," Zane explained. "I didn't mean it..."

"I'm sure you didn't," the Chancellor. "However, you could still do something, and I can't be sure you won't do something like that again. Because we still have the God crisis to deal with... your punishment will be suspended until afterwards. However, as a safeguard, I'm going to have to get people to guard you. You are to remain inyour room at all times, except for during your classes and meals. You are dismissed."

Zane silently and sadly left the room. On the way he saw Jaden. "Hey Jaden," he said. Jaden had already passed Zane, but he paused for a second.

"I heard what you did," Jaden said without looking back. He then walked off. Zane sighed and continued to make his journey.

While he was in the Obelisk dorm he was looked down at the ground and then he accidentally hit his shoulder against someone else's. "Sorry," he said, looking up to discover it was Alexis.

"Yeah, you really should be," she replied as she walked away.

By the time Zane reached his room there was already a man in a grey uniform was standing guard. He entered his room and plopped down on his bed. What have I done...?

It was late. Syrus entered his room; Jaden and Chumley were already in bed. People had been talking about what Zane did. Everyone couldn't believe it, and everyone was angry at him. Syrus changed and got into his bed. He was so mad, sad, angry, disappointed, nervous, unsure... all because of what Zane did. He sighed. Today was so bad... but hopefully tomorrow will be better, Syrus thought as he drifted off to sleep...
Sorry about the short chapter ppls! I'm not good at making things long without duels, I guess. Or at least with this scenario. Besides, right now I'm tired, and I wanna get this chapter over with so I can do the next chapter, so enjoy this one!

Also, if I can, from now on I'll make my chapter name card names, like some other people have done.(remember, its only if I can find a card with a good name for the title! If I can't, then its my own title!)

Syrus: Well, it's been a long, bad, day, but at least its over and I can now rest and hopefully have some nice dreams...Although this is starting to seem like a nightmare! This wierd guy is challenging to a shadow duel! And it looks like I have no choice. Aw well! Watch me win next time on Chapter 18: The Gross Ghost of Fled Dreams. Well, at least if I lose, it's only a dream!

...Right?
