Chapter 6

Author's note: Not very good with describing people, i will try i suppose. Yes, Tyriel isthe Gx version of me i suppose.There should be a crappy description when Tyriel's plays Mirror Wall. I will add you to story, i am assuming you want the name "Christy? Maybe we could talk through some IM too? Let me know okay? " Also, if anybody else wants to be in it, I will see what i can do.

Jaden slowly walked to his dorm after eating his meal. That was so good! Hmm what's that? thought Jaden as he saw an envelope in the door of his room.

Jaden Yuki

I've taken your Winged Kuriboh, if you want it back meet me at the forest at 8 PM, bring your duel disk and deck.

"No!" thought Jaden as he quickly checked his deck, and yup it was gone. "Someone is gonna pay!" thought Jaden as he stormed off.

Meanwhile, Tyriel was back at Bastion room, he noticed no one was around and quickly pulled Shadow Magic Lord-Hadriel and put his key on it bringing him to life.

"Hadriel, I am pretty sure I know who has the scale"

"Listen to me Tyriel, you have to be careful"

"Huh?"

"The reason why I can't locate the exactly location is because there's 2 Millennium items in this island."

"2? What's the other one?"

"It's the MillenniumEye and whatever you do I want you stay away from this person, he is an old enemy"

"An old enemy?"

"Yes he... did some bad things to you and I in the past"

"What do you mean?"
"Just stay away from him, did this person with the scale have the Millennium eye?"

"No, but what did he do? You have to trust me Hadriel."

"I am afraid you are not ready yet, but you must know that what he did will be nothing compare what he will do to you, whatever you do stay away from ice and -" Hadriel suddenly disappeared. What the... Tyriel tried to get him back by twisting the key several times but nothing. Then Millennium Key started glow...

Later, at night, Jaden walked to the forest. He slowly moved and looked around. The trees always seemed more strange at night than day. Jaden moved through the grass with stealth hoping not to disturb an animal or anything that was around there. He made into the middle of the forest and wondered where the person was.

"Show yourself, whoever you are give me my Winged Kuriboh back!" shouted Jaden. Then from the shadows someone came. Jaden gasped as Dr. Crowler walked in with an Egyptian eye symbol glowing in his forehead.

"Jaden, duel!" shouted Crowler as he set his duel disk. Jaden was still in his shock.

"What... Dr.Crowler, what's going on?"

"If you want your card duel!" shouted Crowler.

"Whatever you want Dr.Crowler, you will lose again." said Jaden as he got duel disk ready.

Meanwhile, Tyriel made it to the duel arena. He looked around, and it was exactly what it was suppose to be. An arena. It was like a coliseum except smaller, the arena was good size however.

"Dr. Crowler! you around?" said Tyriel as he dropped the bucket of water on the floor ever so slightly. He started to move when suddenly a blast of ice appeared hitting the door. The door froze completely, however it did not shatter. Tyriel backed up. Ice... looks like I encountered Hadriel's worst fear thought Tyriel as he looked around trying to find where the ice blast came from.

Suddenly a cloaked stranger appear. His dark robe covered most of his face, and body, however one eye seemed to be glowing. Must be the Millennium Eye. He looked at cloaked figure more and realized he looked familiar.

"Who are you, and what have you done with Crowler?" asked Tyriel.

"Crowler is not here, he has his own business to attend to, similar to mine."

"And that would be?"

"Well sending your soul to the shadow realm, but there's one key factor stopping me, your Millennium Key."

"You think i am scared of you? Or the shadow realm for that matter?"

"You should, after all that happened to your father you would think you show some respect."

"What?"
"Hmm? Oh c'mon, you were there or did you forget? Did that fool Hadriel tried to hide you from your past?"
"What do you mean?"

"If you want to know, then duel." said the cloaked figure as he pulled a duel disk. Tyriel also pulled duel disk.

"You want a duel, you got one."

"Ha! You just took more than you can take."

"What do you mean?" asked Tyriel. Then he noticed it. The shadows had become bigger, and flames of colored black and purple surrounded them. "What's going on?"

"Ah, this must be your first Shadow Duel, Shadi would be proud." said the figure as he chuckled.

"A shadow duel?"

"Yes, all shadow duels are unique, and this one is no different."

"What so unique about this Shadow Duel in particular?"

"He he, let's just say you will understand the "life" in life points. In any case, i will set a monster, and 2 face-downs. End." said the figure as the cards appeared. I wonder what he meant by "understanding the "life" in life points thought Tyriel as he looked at his cards.

"I play Gemini Elf. Now my elves, attack!" commanded Tyriel as the elves shot twin blast into the facedown card.

Suddenly a monster popped from the card. Seemed to be a trapped fiend, with some human features and green hair. Even though Tyriel couldn't get a good look, he still knew what it was.

"You attacked Newdoria, thus i will destroy your elves with his effect." said the figure as a giant hand from the ground grabbed the elves and took them the ground with Newdoria.

"I will set 2 face downs and end" said Tyriel.

"Ha you think i am scared of your Sakuretsu Armor?" asked the figure mockingly. Tyriel was shocked. How could he possible... The eye. thought Tyriel. "Yes Tyriel, the Eye sees all, just how it can see your hand, Now watch, I summon pitch black warwolf." said the figure as an evil wolf appeared

"I will throw down 2 face downs and a monster . End" said Jaden. Crowler laugh at his student.

"You will fail Jaden! I will set 2 face down and play heavy storm!" said Crowler as giant storm came and washed away the field.

"What's the point? You are destroying your own cards." said a confused Jaden.

"You always were a failure Jaden, by destroying my face down Statues of the Wicked i can summon 2 tokens! And i will tribute them to summon Ancient Gear Golem" said Crowler with a smile as the tokens appeared and disappeared as a giant robot appeared.

"No way you could have summoned that on the first turn!" said Jaden as he took a couple of steps back.

"Now taste true power, Golem blast his face down!" commanded Crowler as the golem shut a giant blast at the face-down destroying E. Hero Clayman. "And because of Golem's effect you lose life points as well. I will end my turn."

Jaden: 3000

Crowler: 4000

Gotta make this turn count thought Jaden as he drew. "I special summon bubbleman, and since he is alone i get to draw 2 cards!" said Jaden as he drew 2 cards. "I will fuse him and Clayman from my hand by playing Polymerization and i will summon E.Hero Mud ball Man!"

A giant ball of mud with a head on top appeared protecting Jaden.

"He is too powerful for you!" shouted Jaden. " I will throw down a face down and end."

"Ha its over. For I play the magic card Limiter Removal! This card double the attack of all machines in my side of the field."

"NO!" shouted Jaden

"Yes!"

"Now Golem finish him and take his soul!" shouted Crowler as the Golem prepared to fire.

"I am sure you know Pitch Black Warwolf effect right? As long as he is here you can't play trap cards during the battle phase" said the figure.

"No matter, i will play my other trap card now, go Mirror Wall!" said Tyriel as a giant wall that consisted of mirrors appeared. Tyriel stared at his reflection. He looked at his short black hair, then stared directly into his own eyes. In all the shadow and evil, he still was himself. Every last bit, going from neck to his slim body covered by white cloak that surprisingly hasn't gotten in dirty all this time. Then all of the sudden his reflection bent to his knees. He must have attacked he thought but why haven't my life points dropped. Then the Mirror Wall faded back into the card.

"Why didn't my life points dropped?" asked Tyriel to his opponent. The stranger laughed.

"Well I want to see you suffer your first time hit in the Shadow Realm."

"I still don't get it" said Tyriel confused.

"You are about to. Shadows attack!" said the stranger as a purple-ish black laser appeared from the flames. The laser hit Tyriel directly in the heart however he felt no physical damage. The laser went through him like nothing however, he couldn't say the same for how he felt. He felt different and he took a step back. He felt... weak, lost, and alone. He had never felt like this even though he knew was alone it never bugged him till now. What's going on said Tyriel as he looked at himself.

"Feeling lonely?" asked the figure.

"What did you do?" demanded Tyriel as his life points dropped.

"The shadows, every time you take damage, part of your life is gone, your spirit as well. It will succumb to the shadows."

"But why am i feeling..."

"Lost? Shadow realm will open your eyes, after all you know you are alone, Tyriel." It pained Tyriel to accept the truth.

"How do you know my name?"

"Tyriel, I know more about you than you think." said the stranger. Tyriel finally ask the question he needed to ask.

"Who are you?"

"Do you really want to know?" asked the stranger.
"Yes tell me now!" shouted Tyriel with scorn.

"I killed your father, and i killed everyone you ever cherished. Yes they are all gone, and it is by my own doing." said the figure.

Tyriel was shocked, then he realized something. The strange here and the one in his dream were the same. His Millennium key started to glow as he got more angry. He could hear his father last words, and he started to get visions of the past, however before he could any of them his vision were interrupted by his opponent.

"Get over it, I end." said the figure.

Tyriel: 3200

Stranger: 4000

"You are gonna pay! shouted Tyriel

The giant robot send a giant blast towards Jaden's mud ball man, destroying him however he didn't lose life points.

"Why didn't your life points drop?"

"I activated Hero Spirit, thus i take no life point damage, even though Mud ball Man dies. Your golem can't stop it because its not in the battle." said Jaden with a smile while Crowler growled.

"I set a face-down and end." said Crowler. Then his entire robot collapsed into pieces. Just like the first time thought Jaden.

"I play E. Hero Wildheart in attack mode, and since he is immune to trap cards, he is perfect to attack you. Wildheart attack him" commanded Jaden as the strong warrior ran smacked Crowler in the gut. He doubled over from the pain as his life points dropped. "I will throw down 2 face downs, and I will end"

Jaden: 3000

Crowler: 2500

"I play Ancient Gear Castle! Then i play Ancient Gear Soldier" said Crowler as the castle and robot soldier appeared like in Tyriel's duel. "Now i equip Axe of Despair on my soldier" The robot grabbed an Axe as its attack rose by 1000.

"This is gonna hurt..." said Jaden as he braced himself.

"Ancient Gear Soldier, show Jaden why he is the student and why I am teacher, hit him with the axe!" said Crowler as the robot slashed E. Hero Wildheart as well as hurting Jaden life points

Jaden: 1900

Crowler: 2500

"Well by attacking me you triggered one of my face-down, A Hero Emerges!. Now select a card randomly" said Jaden.

"I pick the one farthest to the left" said Crowler as Jaden summoned his monster, Hero Kid.

"Ha, you picked Hero Kid, so he gets special summoned to the field, and because of his effect i can special summon 2 more Hero Kids "said Jaden as he special summon to more.

"Whatever, your demise is soon to come. I end."

"What happened to you Dr.Crowler?" asked Jaden

"I saw the truth, and now go or skip your turn." snapped Crowler.

"Alright Crowler, I'll destroy with my heroes!"

"With your little kids? Good luck."

"No, because united nothing can stop them! I play United We Stand on the Hero kid in the middle. His attack raises by 800 for every monster, thus he becomes 2700, enough to take down your Ancient Gear soldier. Now blast him with Hero Blast!" said Jaden as the young kid a large blast destroying the robot" Now my other hero kids attack you directly". The other kids shot smaller blast still dealing damage.

Jaden: 1900

Crowler: 1800
