Chapter 3

The Shadows Furry

It had been almost a week since the first challenge. Blade lie awake in his bed thinking about the second challenge. He couldn't sleep. His mind was on many things. Then he slowly began to fall asleep.

He did not wake up to Ace's usual heart stopping alarm clock, but to the sound of a Blue Eyes White Dragon blowing apart the Obelisk boys dorm.

"WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING ON!" exclaimed Blade. Blade decided to evacuate the building via the really large hole in the wall. He ran as fast as he could trying to get to the main building and avoid the attacks of the many dragons that seemed to have taken a liking to the skies of Academy Island.

He entered the academy and met up with Zane, Z.C., Jaden, Jace and Ace. A big screen had appeared with Chancellor Sheppard's face on it.

"Chancellor," yelled Z.C.

"Duel Academy's top students, listen up! The dragons that you have just seen are being possessed by dark shadows. Using the Fighter Jets that I am about to provide you, you must destroy the dragons before they destroy Due Academy! The fighter jets have special slots where you put your cards. The monsters will come to life in order to destroy the dragons. Everyone else has evacuated the island, but we kept you here because we knew that you were the only ones who can help. You must save our fair school! I…am…. already…"

"Chancellor!" yelled Jaden; the transmission had ended due to static.

"What now? I don't see any fighter jets," said Jace. But just then the floor and the ceiling opened up and six fighter jets that look like V-Tiger Jets had appeared. "I…stand corrected," said Jace. "Anyway we have to hurry! The island will be destroyed if we're not quick!"

He jumped into one of the jets. "What are you all waiting for? Hurry!" The other five jumped into their jets. They immediately took off into the sky where several deadly dragons were waiting for them.

"Ace watch out for that Masked Dragon!" yelled Jace.

"Go Red Eyes Black Dragon!" yelled Ace. The masked dragon was destroyed, but then another Red Eyes kamikazed into Ace's Red Eyes.

Several Kaiser Dragons were on Zane's tale but Blade ended that with his Dark Magician of Chaos.

"There are just a few more!" exclaimed Jaden. He summoned Elemental Hero Tempest, Rampart Blaster, and Wild Edge as his defense, which took out several other dragons.

"Uh oh, something's coming!" yelled Z.C. He was right. Three Blue Eyes White Dragons surrounded the six jets. The three dragons didn't charge at the jets, but at each other and as the students predicted they combined to make a Blue Eyes Ultimate Dragon! Almost immediately the three headed dragon shot a beam of energy right al Blade's jet and blew out the engine.

"I think my jet is on the fritz!" yelled Blade.

"Hurry and get the plasma cannon under the seat, get out of the jet and hop on my wing!" yelled Zane.

Blade quickly obeyed Zane's orders and just before he hit the ground he got out f the plane and jump onto Zane's wing on which was right next to the plane.

"You like Zane's surrogate gun" said Jace.

Blade started shooting at the dragon with the plasma cannon but I didn't even come close to scratching it. "Zane try using Power Bond to summon Cyber End Dragon. Its attack points will double and that's enough to destroy the dragon," yelled Blade.

"Okay, will do." Zane inserted the power bond card into the slot in the jet. Then his Cyber End Dragon appeared in front of the jet. "Cyber End Dragon attack! Super strident blast!" The Cyber End Dragon shot a beam out of each of its three mouths. The Blues Eyes Ultimate Dragon tried to counter, but it was to no avail and it was destroyed.

"Whew, that's the last of them," said Z.C. "Hey wait, I'm picking up something on my radar, and it's approaching at very high speed. Look over there."

"Hey that silhouette, its the Chancellor's flagship!" exclaimed Zane. A dark ship appeared from the east and the halted.

"Is that… you Zane? That shadows, they've… taken over me. I…am…no longer in…control of my body."

"CHANCELLOR!" yelled Jaden.

"Jaden, I'm sorry, there is only one thing to do. Destroy this ship, destroy me!"

"No…I can't," said Blade.

"You have to Blade, I'm sorry." The flagship then transformed into a VWXYZ Dragon Catapult Cannon. "Do it now, just fire!"

Blade hesitated for a moment then fired the plasma cannon. But the machine blocked it with its Z-Metal Tank arms. "Grrr, it won't do anything!" said Blade. "It just blocks my attacks!" Then the ship charged up an attack. Blade fired at a different area of the ship. The bombardment of plasma stopped the attack and left a mark where he had fired.

"That's it Blade, keep shooting." said Jace. "Zane try summoning Cyber End Dragon again," said Blade. "It has more attack points than a V-Z Dragon Catapult Cannon!"

"Okay then, I fuse the three Cyber Dragons to create the Cyber End Dragon, attack the Dragon Catapult Cannon!" The attack destroyed the W-Wing Catapult on it, but it still was moving.

Blade fired at the machine a bit more, and managed to destroy the Y-Dragon head.

"I never…thought…I'd be…fighting…you all," said Sheppard who was clearly losing life signs.

"Cyber End Dragon attack again!" yelled Zane. This attack blew off the Z-metal tank section.

"That's it. Keep…attacking." said Sheppard.

"I play diffusion!" said Jaden. The machine's five piece, even the one's that were blown off all came side by side next to each other.

"Now everyone attack its separate pieces!" yelled Blade. Everyone except Zane summoned a monster and all together they attacked the separate pieces, but they all came back together after they were attacked then the ship began to fall to the ground.

"Chancellor Sheppard!" yelled a voice from nearby. Then they saw the assistant principal, Greil, pilot a jet and just before he Chancellor's ship hit the ground, Greil's jet crashed into the ship to brace its landing. "Greil? What have…you done?" asked Sheppard. "Contact the paramedics." Said Greil "My duty is done."
