bopdog111: Their now at Shadow trouble.
Ulrich362: True, very true.
bopdog111: Could this finally be time for Syrus to go to a real battle?
Ulrich362: Who knows? There's only one way to find out though.
bopdog111: Indeed.

They were in the Dorm until they heard windows shattering, and looked to see Shadows were breaking in as the girls were backing up frightened.
"Oh my! Girls get in your rooms!" Mrs. Fontaine called for them, "I gotta call the Disciplinary Action Squad!"
'No time to try and get them somewhere safe.' Naoto thought. "Brace yourselves! Yamato Sumeragi, Megidolaon!"
Her Persona appeared attacking the Shadows as the girls ran to their rooms not able to find out what was going on or who was defending them. Syrus meanwhile was looking around for something, and saw something running over grabbing a broom stick to try, and help fight, "Naoto here!"
He tossed her a BB Gun. Naoto caught it. "Well, it'll do on short notice."
Syrus upon seeing a Shadow charging at him screamed before swiping with the boom stick which hit it causing the Shadow to fly to the wall stunned as Syrus watched in shock before soon made a focused look.
"Something's wrong, there's too many." Rise mentioned nervously.
"I'll try to clear many!" Syrus said before calling, "Submarineroid! Get them with Mamudoon!"
The Persona used the instant death move on the Shadows which was effective but didn't get all of them.
"Haraedo-No-Okami!" Chie called as a group of meteors appeared striking more of the shadows only for more to enter the dorm.
"There's no end to them." Yukiko mentioned nervously.
"What's making them appear so much?" Rise asked nervously.
"Maybe... The power of the Sacred Beasts?" Syrus suggested after smacking another Shadow with his broom stick.
Suddenly Rise gasped. "Guys... I can't find the others!"
"What?" Naoto asked hearing that shooting the Shadows.
"Yu-Sempai, Yosuke-Sempai, Teddie, Kanji... I can't find them anywhere." Rise panicked.
"Might be that the signal on your thing is jammed like my Duel Disk is." Syrus said to her.
Rise looked more scared hearing that before they heard a scream. Hearing that Syrus ran to see what was going on. A group of shadows had gotten into Alexis, Mindy, and Jasmine's room. Syrus at that called, "Submarineroid! Swift Strike!"
The Persona fired it's missile at the Shadows. Two shadows were destroyed but three more turned to him.
"You three pick on someone who can fight!" Syrus declared pointing a finger to them.
Suddenly the shadows looked up before fleeing through the window.
"Huh?" Syrus asked confused.
"Syrus, are you alright?" Chie asked running into the room.
"Yeah." Syrus answered, "I had took down two of them but the rest ran off for some reason."
"I have a really bad feeling about this, come on." Rise mentioned. "They're heading to the main building."
They nodded as Yukiko said to the girls, "Stay here."
With that the Persona Team ran off after the Shadows. They quickly met up with Yosuke, Kanji, and Teddie.
"Where's Yu, and Ted?" Chie asked them.
"Gone." Teddie answered nervously. "Sensei just vanished."
"Vanished?" Syrus asked in shock.
"Yeah, one minute he was there and the next he just disappeared" Yosuke confirmed.
"How?" Chie asked worried.
"We don't know, but it happened." Kanji told her.
"Could the Shadows that are appearing be the cause of why he vanished?" Syrus suggested.
"Maybe... but why..." Chie started before an arrow struck a shadow.
"Who done that?" Kanji asked.
"Are you guys ok?" asked a female voice.
Hearing that they turned over. It was young brunette woman with a bow.
"Kari-Chan!" Teddie cried.
"Things are getting really bad, shadows are starting to appear all over the world." Yukari told him.
"Is there a way for them to stop?" Syrus asked nervously.
"Probably, you guys need to deal with whatever it is that's underground." mentioned a white-haired young man as he punched a shadow. "Fuuka and Mitsuru are trying to come up with a plan but we're being stretched too thin as it is."
"We need to find Yu-Sempai." Rise told the team.
"He's currently with Mitsuru-san." mentioned a young male voice. "Kala-Nemi, Hamaon!"
Suddenly seeing a Shadow going to attack Rise, Syrus ran, "Rise!"
He pushed her away for him to try to bash it away only for him to accidentally stab the Shadow with the Broom Stick as they got collapsed to the ground.
"Get up you guys." Chie called.
Syrus pushed the Shadow off asking, "Are you okay Rise?"
"I've been better, but I'll live and..." Rise started before her eyes widened.
Syrus offered her a hand. Rise didn't take it but just looked scared.
"What's wrong?" Syrus asked her.
"No way... that's impossible!" the white-haired man said in shock.
Hearing that they looked to see. A large shadow that looked like several hands joined together was approaching them with one hand holding a blue mask while most of the others held blades.
"What's that?" Yukiko asked shocked.
"It's... one of them, but how is it here?" Yukari asked in horror.
"One of what?" Syrus asked stepping back.
"A piece of death." stated a female voice. "Whatever is happening on this island, it's calling to Nyx, and his seal is breaking."
They looked over to see Mitsuru, Aigis, and Yu walking over.
"Yes we can." they nodded.
Mitsuru just nodded at that.
"So if we beat this thing then the Shadows will retreat?" Syrus asked her.
"Perhaps, but at a great cost." Mitsuru answered.
"Okay. Rise stay behind me." Syrus said to his girlfriend.
"We have no idea how powerful this enemy is, be on your guard." Mitsuru instructed.
Boss Fight: Arcana Magician
(Boss Theme: Unavoidable Battle)
Arcana Shadow started off with Maragion to it's opponents. Seeing that Yukiko moved in front of Chie.
"Artemisia!" Mitsuru declared as a block of ice enveloped several of the shadows arms.
"Can we get behind it Sanada-San?" Kanji asked the white haired teen.
"It's worth a try and..." he started only to pause. "Huh, hey who's that?"
"Who's what?" Teddie asked as they looked.
It was Alexis only she looked to be running and completely ignoring the shadows, even running through groups of them.
"Alexis? What she doing!?" Chie asked in shock, "We told her to stay at the Girl's Dorm!"
"Someone needs to get to her!" Yosuke mentioned.
"Go Bladedge!"
At that Bladedge appeared attacking the Shadows around Alexis, and Jaden jumped in.
"Jaden?" Alexis asked seeing him.
"Lex it's not safe out here! I gotta get you somewhere safe, and let Yu, and the others handle this." Jaden said taking her hand.
"Actually Jaden, I don't think so." Alexis smirked. "This doll of mine will be your opponent, and your Spirit Key will be mine."
With that Alexis activated her Duel Disc.
"What the?" Jaden asked stepping back, "Lex... Don't tell me... The Shadows are controlling you!"
"Her voice and body... her mind is still her own but that's the price for losing a Shadow Duel against me." Alexis stated. "Once you lose, that'll be two Spirit Keys in my possession."
"Argh... Who are you!?" Jaden yelled.
"Beat her and I'll duel you myself. But I did make a few upgrades to her deck." Alexis said. "Well, she's waiting Jaden."
"Fine. I'll get you out of this Lex." Jaden promised.
"Then by all means take your turn so we can begin this Shadow Duel." Alexis told him.
Jaden got started.
"LET'S DUEL!"

You can only use 1 "Elemental HERO Blazeman" effect per turn, and only once that turn.
Alexis frowned seeing that.
"When Blazeman is summoned, I can add Polymerization to my hand!" Jaden said taking the card.
Alexis frowned. "So now you can Fusion Summon."
"Which is what I'll do to fuse Blazeman with Elemental HERO Necroshade in my hand!" Jaden said as the two fused.

The card shattered.

"What the? Lex never had this before." Jaden said looking up at the monster.
"When Cyber Angel Idaten is used as a sacrifice all my Ritual Monsters gain 1000 attack and defense points." Alexis revealed.
Cyber Angel Vrash: (ATK: 3000 + 1000 = 4000/DEF: 2000 + 1000 = 3000)
"Then, when Vrash is summoned I can destroy all of the Fusion Monsters you have in play and deal 1000 points of damage for each one."
"What?" Jaden asked in shock as his dark fusion monster shattered. (Jaden: 3000)
"Oh, and just in case you had a defense planned when that effect is used Vrash gets to attack a second time. Now Cyber Angel Vrash attack Elemental HERO Ice Edge!" Alexis called.
Jaden watched in shock as the attack struck causing him to cry out just as the Investigation Team destroyed Arcana Magician.
Jaden: 0000
Alexis (Alice): 3200
Alexis (Alice) wins the duel!
"And that makes two." Alexis smirked as Jaden's key vanished and a cloaked figure approached them.
"You'll make a fine doll, just like Alexis." stated a female voice.
Jaden weakly looked up at the figure before widening his eyes, "Wait... Alice?"
She just smirked as her eyes began glowing. Meanwhile the Investigation Team breathed as the Shadows retreated upon Arcana Magician's death.
"Is everyone alright?" Akihiko asked.
"Yeah... What bout Lex, and Jay?" Syrus asked.
They looked over to see Jaden helping Alexis up before they walked over.
"You two alright?" Chie asked them.
"I think so, thanks to Jaden." Alexis answered.
"This is getting worse." Naoto frowned, "We need to defeat the Shadow Riders, and fast. Or else Nyx will be released."
"How many of them do you guys think are left?" Jaden asked.
"That's what we don't know." Yosuke admitted, "Damn this is making me anxious."
"Why don't we all meet up and come up with a plan?" Yu suggested.
They nodded hearing that.
"Sorry about all this Mit-Chan." Teddie said to Mitsuru, and her team, "We'll try to finish things up quick."
"We're counting on you." Mitsuru stated before smiling. "Though we have complete faith in you."
They nodded hearing that.
Later in Zane's room...
The Investigation Team and all the Spirit Key Holders had met up.
"Dammit! So even if we got rid of these Sacred Beasts we still got some psycho Goddess to feast on us!?" Chazz yelled agitated.
"You guys need to focus on the Shadow Riders, we'll handle the Shadows and Nyx... somehow." Yukiko mentioned.
"But if Nyx is released it will be everyone's problem won't it?" Bastion asked.
"We're the only ones who can fight her with our Personas." Yu pointed out before frowning. "Besides... it's the least I can do to help you all after being the first to lose."
"Didn't Jaden used Bladedge to attack the Shadows?" Syrus asked him.
"Now that you mention it, yeah he did." Rise smiled. "That might help."
"Which means if Nyx gets freed it will be our problem also." Zane said to them, "If this 'The Fall' happens then everyone will be involved."
"Well, the first step is keeping the keys safe right?" Chie asked.
They nodded hearing that.
"Well maybe you guys should hide them somewhere?" Yosuke suggested. "I mean... where are they now?"
"That's the big question." Alexis admitted.
At that Zane revealed his key was around his neck. "Right here."
"Got mine also." Chazz showed his.
"Right here." Banner said showing the key's laces, and the key was wrapped around his hand.
They turned to Alexis, and Jaden. Neither of them moved.
"Jay, Lex?" Syrus asked confused, "Where are your keys?"
Alexis blinked. "Oh, back at the dorm. With everything going on I didn't get the chance to grab mine."
"Yeah I hid it in a special drawer." Jaden said to them.
"Ok, so far Dr. Crowler, Bastion and Yu are the only ones who've lost their keys." Zane noted. "We still have five of the eight."
"We should head back for the night." Syrus suggested, "To get our strength back up after that Shadow Attack."
"Yeah, that makes sense." Jaden agreed.
With that they walked back to their Dorms.
bopdog111: Another Spirit Key claimed.
Ulrich362: True, and only three remain.
bopdog111: Should they figure it out next time?
Ulrich362: Hopefully, because with who's holding one of the keys it's really only two left.
bopdog111: Be sure to review!
Ulrich362: See you in the next chapter.
