Thank You to everyone who's reviewed my story thus far. And sorry for the delay. I had school work to do. And so, here's the new chapter! I hope you all enjoy this!

"…Oh… It's you… How may I serve you?" Crowler said.
"Yes, I want to duel Jeffrey in the exams." He said.
"Really? Why may I ask would you want that?" Crowler said.
"Simple… Revenge." He said.
"Very well… I'll arrange it immediately." Dr. Crowler said as he walked away with a grin…
Weeks had passed since Alexis' mysterious absence. Although that's not what's in the minds of many of the students as they're all cramming and studying for their exams.
"Hm… I wonder if I take this out and put this in… Hm…" Jeffrey said as he had a tough time deciding what cards to add and remove in his deck.
"Man! Who invented these exams!" Syrus cried as he tried in vein to pull out his hair. "I don't get any of these!"
"Relax, these exams will be a breeze!" Jaden said with much confidence in his voice. "Calm yourself down and breath… Then go back and study."
"… There! I'm done!" Jeffrey said as he gathered the cards that were in his deck and examined them thoroughly. "Good… Good… Alright, I'm hitting the sack… Good Night."
The next morning, Jeffrey found himself awake at 6:50 AM and found his friends sleeping in their desks.
Jeffrey woke them up by sticking their alarm clocks in their ears and awoke with a start.
Later, they found themselves in Dr. Crowler's classroom waiting anxiously for their exams, in which, was administered minutes later. Many students had bumped their heads on their desks in frustration. Hours later, the exams were collected and a wave of relief swept through the class.
"Now, class please proceed to the Duel Arenas for your field tests…" Dr. Crowler instructed as the students rose from their seats and went for the door. "Jeffrey, please stay here."
"Huh? What for?" Jeffrey said as he began to suspect a trap and approached Dr. Crowler cautiously.
"My boy, an anonymous faculty member requested that you Duel with Jhesse." Dr. Crowler explained.
"Say what! I thought that students couldn't duel other students that's not in their dorm in the exam." Jeffrey said.
"Well, like it or not, it's my decision." Dr. Crowler said with a grin.
"Fine." Jeffrey said as he left the room.
"Heh… Now that Slifer Slacker will get the beating he deserves!" Dr. Crowler said as he couldn't help but to widen his grin.
After catching up to his friends at the Duel Arenas, the P.A. suddenly went off…
"Jeffrey and Jhesse please report to ring # 2 for your field test…" it said tonelessly.
"Well, good luck." Alexis said as she and the others gave their best wishes and went up stairs to watch their friend duel.
Jeffrey then found himself in his respective ring strapped with a Duel Disk, facing the Obelisk Blue once more.
"I hope you're ready to lose, you slacker!" Jhesse said nastily as he inserted a deck into his Duel Disk.
"Let's go!" Jeffrey shouted as he and Jhesse activated his Duel Disk.
"Duel!" they shouted as they drew their 5 cards.
"Now where have I seen this before?" Bastion said sarcastically.
"I bet Crowler is behind this…" Jaden said as he made a fist.
"I'll go first!" Jeffrey declared as he drew his card. "I'll set a monster in defense mode, and set one card face down. Your move."
"My draw!" Jhesse declared as he drew his card. "Get ready for a blast from the past! I play Pandemonium!"
When the field card was inserted, Jeffrey and Jhesse was thrust into a dim place filled with despair, cold and death…
"Wait a minute…" Bastion said. "Don't tell me he's using an Archfiend Deck!"
"Yeah, and I have a good idea where he got it." Syrus said.
"So, you stole someone else's deck just because you couldn't beat me?" Jeffrey said. "I never thought that you were this low!"
"Heh, I don't know what you're talking about…" Jhesse said as he proceeded with his turn. "Now, I summon Infernal Queen Archfiend (900/1500)!"
Then, the same horrible being that haunted Jeffrey in his last duel arose once more to take her revenge.
"And thanks to her special ability, all Archfiends gain 1000 attack points!" Jhesse declared as his fiend grew significantly stronger. "Now, attack his face down my Queen!"
With that, the Queen unleashed a sonic blast towards the face down, but it wasn't of any effect as the monster turned out to be Skilled White Magician (1700/1900)!
"Grr… That thing again?" Jhesse said with discontent. "I'll end my turn for now…"
"My turn!" Jeffrey declared as he drew his card and grinned. "First, I summon my Skilled Dark Magician (1900/1700) in attack mode!"
Then, the white magician's counter part arose ready for battle.
"Next, I activate the spell card Magical Dimension!" Jeffrey declared as the card he had face down was revealed. "Now, this can only work if I have a Spell-Caster on my field, which I do. Now, I can sacrifice my Skilled Dark Magician to summon the Dark Magician (2500/2100)!"
Then, the mage clad in black robes had vanished and the magician in dark purple armor appeared in it's place.
"On top of summoning my magician, your Infernal Queen is automatically destroyed!" Jeffrey declared
"You dunce, you haven't done your homework! You see, if you target my Queen's ability activates!" Jhesse explained as a huge stone dice dropped out of nowhere and started to spin almost continuously. "If that dice lands on a 2 or a 5, then the effect won't work!"
Apparently, luck was at Jeffrey's side as the dice landed on a 4, and obliterated the Infernal Queen!
"Hah! Take that! Now that she's gone, you're wide open for a direct-attack!" Jeffrey shouted as the Dark Magician began to gather it's power and aimed it's staff at Jhesse! "Dark Magician, attack his life points directly!"
Then with that command, the Magician unleashed an explosive attack on Jhesse's life points, and reduced it significantly! Jhesse was then knocked back and hit the ground hard.
"I'll end my turn for now…" Jeffrey said.
Jeffrey – 4000 LP
Jhesse – 1500 LP
"Impressive, he's already in the lead." Bastion grinned. "Full Life Points, and a powerful monster on his side of the field."
"Grr… You'll regret that!" Jhesse shouted as he drew his card and grinned. "I activate Premature Burial! With this, I'm allowed to pay 800 LP to resurrect a monster! So say hello to Infernal Queen Archfiend!"
Then, the monster he had just vanquished had returned with even more hate than before…
"And she won't be alone! Because I summon another Infernal Queen Archfiend in attack mode!" Jhesse declared as another hideous monster appeared for battle! "And thanks to my monsters' effect, I now have two 2900 attack point monsters! Now my queens, attack his monsters!"
Then, the Infernal Queens then unleashed an assault against Jeffrey's monsters and reduced them to nothing!
"I'll end my turn with a card face down." Jhesse said
Jeffrey – 3600 LP
Jhesse – 700 LP
"My draw!" Jeffrey declared as he drew his card and grinned. "It's over, Jhesse! I remove from my grave yard my Skilled Dark and White Magicians…"
"This duel is over…" Alexis grinned. "He's about to summon one of the strongest monsters in his deck."
"Light and Dark monster! No way! He has one?" Jaden said as his eyes widened in realization as to what Jeffrey was about to summon.
"Yeah and I should know, I was at the receiving end when he and I dueled." Alexis said.
"Black Luster Soldier – Envoy of the Beginning (3000/2500)!" Jeffrey declared as the crowd gasped at one of the mightiest creatures in the game appeared before them. "Black Luster Soldier, attack his Infernal Queen!"
With that, the Soldier dashed with lightning speed and struck down an Infernal Queen!
"Now that it has destroyed a monster, I'm allowed to activate his ability to attack once more! Now Chaos Soldier, end this duel!" Jeffrey declared as the Soldier dashed to deliver the final blow!
"Not so fast, I activate Call of the Haunted to bring back my destroyed Infernal Queen!" Jhesse declared as the queen rose once more to give the other queen a power boost, not that it mattered because it was destroyed anyway. "You see, I resurrected my other queen to power up my other queen to soften your so called final blow."
"Fine, I'll activate Spell Absorption!" Jeffrey declared. "You see, if you or I activate a spell card, I gain 500 LP! Now, I end my turn."
Jeffrey – 3600 LP
Jhesse – 500 LP
"My turn!" Jhesse declared as he drew his card. "I summon Terror King Archfiend (2000/1500)!"
Then, the fiendish king rose from the ground and readied for battle.
"And don't forget, my Terror King gains 1000 attack points because of my Infernal Queen!" Jhesse said. "Now, I'll power him up by 500 points with Black Pendant!"
"This isn't good! Now his Terror King is strong enough to destroy the Soldier!" Bastion said in horror.
"Now, Terror King, destroy that Soldier!" Jhesse declared as the Terror King did away with the Soldier with one strike! "Infernal Queen, attack his Life Points directly!"
The Infernal Queen then let loose a sonic wave, and reduced Jeffrey's Life Points even more!
"Hahahaha! So this is the power of darkness!" Jhesse said as he laughed. "I'll end my turn for now…"
Jeffrey – 1700 LP (an extra 500 because of Spell Absorption)
Jhesse – 500 LP
"My draw!" Jeffrey said as he drew.
"Give it up! You're no match for the power of darkness!" Jhesse said.
"Darkness? You call this darkness?" Jeffrey said as hate and rage began to flare in his eyes. "I'll show you what true darkness is! Now, I remove my Dark Magician, and Black Luster Soldier from my grave yard… To summon Chaos Emperor Dragon – Envoy of the End (3000/2500)!"
Then, the Chaos Soldier and Dark Magician were sucked into a vortex of hate. In their place, a vicious dragon emerged from the hole and roared with more ferocity than any monster that had ever been heard.
"There's a reason why they call him the end…" a voice said.
"Huh? Big bro?" Syrus said as a tall young man with clad with an Obelisk Blue blazer and intimidating eyes with blue hair appeared.
"Well, why is he called the end?" Jaden said.
"It's because of its destructive ability… Watch…" Zane said.
"I now use my Dragon's special ability to pay 1000 LP to send every card in the hand and field to the grave yard!" Jeffrey declared as the dragon was then engulfed with a terrifying dark force that expanded through the field, consuming everything in its path. "And for every card that was sent to the grave yard, you lose 300 Life Points!"
Then, the dark force generated by the dragon exploded! The explosion then knocked Jhesse out of the ring and took away what was left of his Life Points!
Jeffrey – 200 LP (-500 LP due to Black Pendant)
Jhesse – 0 LP
"This Duel is over… You've lost." Jeffrey said.
"No… No… No…" Jhesse said as he couldn't believe the destructive power of the Dragon. "I… I… I don't believe this…"
The crowd then went wild as they had been impressed with the awesome display of power shown by the Dragon.
