bopdog111: Finally time for the Dark Scorpions.
Ulrich362: Yup, the... I would say second weakest Shadow Rider.
bopdog111: I think you meant fully weakest since one of the others while never got better from his minions losing on purpose does got better later while dueling Jaden.
Ulrich362: It's a matter of opinion. Neither of them are that good, one just could improve.
bopdog111: Well let's see what Zaloog, and his men can do.
Ulrich362: Agreed, enjoy the chapter.
Disclaimer: We don't own Yu-Gi-Oh! GX or Persona but we own the OCs!
In a cavern where the Shadow Riders gather was 4 people.
"We've been waiting for this day for a long time. Now it's here."
"I know, I can't believe the boss is finally coming."
"Of course he will. All the pieces are in place."
"They will once we enact the plan at least."
"Theirs no stopping the Dark Scorpions!" they all called raising their weapons together.
Meanwhile...
A ship is approaching, and it's passenger was a guy coming to the island.
"Time to get to work." the man said to himself staring at the island.
At the Academy...
"What now?" Jaden asked uncertainly.
"Now you just sit back, and let the Chazz handle the rest of these Shadow Bozos." Chazz said crossing his arms, "It's better then sending another one to defeat."
"Don't be stupid, Yu-sempai and Jaden both managed to beat you and they both lost already." Kanji told him.
That instantly made him glare at the big boy, "What was that Doll Boy?"
"He has a point, maybe leaving things to Professor Banner and Zane is the smarter move." Yukiko admitted.
"I have more skill then those Slackers! I'll show ya!" Chazz yelled.
"And if you lose?" Yu asked.
"That's simple! I won't!" Chazz told him.
"Well if you want to prove yourself at least calm down." Yuzu said walking over with Banner, and a man with them, "Alexis, how is your brother?"
"He's resting." Alexis answered. "His wounds are healed though."
"Good." Yuzu nodded.
"Who's this?" Teddie asked about the man.
"Well since five of the Spirit Keys have been lost, the Academy has placed up security." Banner explained as the man bowed.
"I am Detective Zaloog. I'll be keeping a close eye." the man introduced.
"A detective?" Naoto inquired.
"Yes." Zaloog answered, "And you must be the Detective Prince, Naoto Shriogane. I had heard a lot of your accomplishments, and I am honored to work to protect you."
"Agreed." Naoto said calmly.
"But now it's the matter of Spirit Keys." Zaloog said, "Who still has there's?"
"Right here." Chazz said pointing to his around his neck.
"Kept it with me." Zane said showing his.
"And I don't let it separate me." Banner said showing his wrapped key.
"Oh my, this is what I feared." Zaloog said shaking his head, "You let those keys be exposed on your neck for the Shadow Riders to find you. In other words if you hid them they will be safe, and no one else's lives will be forfeit."
"You have an idea?" Syrus asked.
"That's what for these three to decide." Zaloog answered.
This however makes Chazz suspicious about this guy. He soon has an idea.
In Chazz's Room...
Chazz placed his key under the bed, "Here, that way they can't find it."
"Be sure Chazz." Zaloon nodded only for them to hear the doorknob jiggling.
"Who's there?" Chie questioned.
She answered to a startled young Slifer Red with blonde hair, and a bald janitor who was cleaning the door only to stop.
"You lost again CK?" Jaden asked him, "Your room's next-door."
"O-Oh yeah. Sorry to disturb you Gorg." the young man, CK, said sheepishly running off.
"Huh, I don't recognize those two." Yosuke admitted.
"CK's a new transfer student. He's a bit slow but I love Dueling him. And that's Gorg, he's Slifer's Janitor." Chumley explained closing the door.
At Zane's Room...
They got to Zane's room where he placed his Key in his Deck Box, "I feel it safest where I placed my cards in."
"Ah the old 'Heart of the Cards' trick." Zaloog said impressed only for a red haired woman in a doctor's suit to barge in on accident.
"Oh sorry... I hope, I wasn't interrupting." the woman apologized.
"Who are you?" Yukiko inquired.
"That's Meanie. She's the School's Nurse Assistant, nothing to worry about." Alexis explained as the woman smiled sweetly.
Banner's Room...
Banner had initially thought of placing his in a safe but Yuzu pointed out that's the most obvious place valuable items are in waiting to be stolen. Instead he had placed it in a shelf where Kitty Litter is at.
"This is less obvious isn't it?" Banner asked them.
"With all that Cat Litter it ain't sticking out." Zaloog remarked before they heard footsteps where looks like a guard walks by, "Who's that?"
"That's just Cliff, he's one of our Security Guards." Yuzu reassured him.
"Professor... can I talk to you alone?" Rise asked.
"Which one?" Yuzu asked, "Me, or Banner?"
"Professor Banner." Rise answered.
Banner nodded walking out of the room with Rise before asking her, "What's up Rise?"
"I don't trust those guys. They feel off." Rise told him. "I don't know if they're even human."
"What people?" Banner asked her.
"Detective Zaloog, CK, Gorg, Meanie, and Cliff." Rise answered. "I'm sure of it, there's something wrong with them."
"Well I don't know what to do." Banner admitted, "We'll have to figure that out some other time. Now we gotta get to bed."
Rise frowned but nodded.
Later at night...
A furiously knocking had woke Syrus, and Rise.
"What huh?" Syrus asked in confusion.
"Who's there?" Rise asked.
Who barged in was Alexis who said, "Rise, Syrus! Zane, Banner, and Chazz's Keys are taken!"
"What?" Syrus cried in horror.
In the Slifer Red Dorm...
"So all the Keys were taken?" Banner asked.
"Yeah, they were." Zane frowned.
"Well not to worry. I got a few suspects." Zaloog walking in with Meanie, CK, Gorg, and Cliff.
Rise frowned seeing them. "Them?"
"Oh well maybe Naoto can assist this." Yuzu suggested.
"Actually he doesn't." Chazz mentioned. "Because the thief is in this room."
"In this room?" Jaden asked in shock.
"But won't we need evidence?" Syrus asked.
"Of course we do, but we have evidence." Chazz grinned.
"You know there was a press on nail in the drawer with my cards." Zane mentioned while everyone didn't notice Meanie looked nervous.
"And where is it Zane?" Chazz asked him.
"I asked Alexis but she said it isn't her's, and she tossed it away." Zane admitted.
"There goes that." Chazz grumbled.
"Their were footprints in our room." Banner brought up as everyone didn't notice Cliff looked nervous.
"Footprints, that could prove useful." Naoto nodded.
"Actually... I vacuumed it up." Yuzu admitted sheepishly, "I'm a bit of a clean freak."
"So we're stuck with no evidence." Banner said now knowing they have no options.
Chazz suddenly called, "He did it! And him, him, and her!"
While doing that he pointed to CK, Cliff, Gorg, and Meanie respectfully.
"What do you mean?" Bastion asked.
"How about I ask the questions?" Zaloog suggested.
Chazz smirked reaching into his coat, "How about... We hear from them!"
He presented the three Ojama Cards to them.
"While Banner, and Zane hid their keys, I hid these three with them their my eyes, and ears when I'm not around!" Chazz smirked pulling out his Zero Attack Point Deck, "And in my room, I have these cards here to look around me. The point is, it's simple you four are the ones who stole the keys!"
Everyone turned to them hearing that.
"I guess the act didn't work, but we still have the three Spirit Keys." Zaloog smirked standing up, "Allow to introduce us. We're an expert crime team known as..."
The shed their disguises showing black sleeveless jumpsuits with black scorpion tattoos on their arms in poses, "The Dark Scorpions!"
"Wait a second, I thought you couldn't just take the keys." Teddie mentioned.
"And that's the main reason why their farce." Chazz told him, "They didn't know that the keys can only be earned by winning a duel."
"Which means the keys are technically safe." Naoto noted.
"No wonder they didn't work." Zaloog said as they got out of the poses, "We have to beat them in a duel first."
Zane stepped forward to duel. Chazz stretched his hand stopping Zane, "Don't bother yourself. This one's mine."
Zane turned to him before chuckling. "Fair enough, you exposed them after all."
They all got ready outside.
"DUEL!"

"Together we're the Dark Scorpions!" all five of them declared.
"Five monsters, that's really bad isn't it?" Chie asked nervously.
"If their stronger then Chazz's dragon maybe." Jaden told her.
'Losers.' Chazz thought to himself not saying it out loud which would result in a big argument, and waste everyone's time.
"Now I play a trap!" Don Zaloog cried as the card popped up for CK to move out of the way for them to see.
Dark Scorpion Combination
Normal Trap Card

During this turn, any of these 5 cards can attack your opponent's Life Points directly. In that case, the Battle Damage inflicted to your opponent by each of those cards becomes 400 points.
"This trap only activates when all five of us are in play. And we can now attack you directly!" Don Zaloog smirked.
"Five direct attacks, but that means Chazz loses in one move." Yukiko realized.
Don Zaloog smirked before declaring, "Now let him have it! Dark Scorpion Combination!"
At that all 5 charged firing off all five of their attacks.
"Take this! Thorn Whip!"
"Double Blast Attack!"
"Scorpion Slice!"
"Mallet Mash!"
"Hammer-Hammer!"
All five struck Chazz as he cried out keeping himself together.
(Chazz: 2000)
"Wait a second, they had way more than 2000 points." Yosuke pointed out. "I mean, I'm not complaining but what just happened?"
"While that trap is powerful it does have a drawback if it has an effect that strong." Yuzu explained, "Dark Scorpion Combination only allows 400 points of damage for each attack they do."
"So that means Chazz is safe." Syrus said in relief.
"From defeat maybe but now that we dealt damage our special abilities now go into effect." Don Zaloog smirked as Chazz braced himself.
"First a monster returns back to the top of your deck." Gorg started.
As Gorg said that Armed Dragon LV7 vanished.
"Next a card on your field goes back to your hand." CK stated as one of Chazz's face-down returns to his hand.
"Next the top two cards of your deck they go to the grave." Cliff smirked as Chazz scowled before sending Armed Dragon LV7 and Level Up! to the graveyard.
"Then one random card from your hand is discarded." Don Zaloog explained.
Chazz discarded Masked Dragon.
"And finally a card with Dark Scorpion in it's name comes back to our hand from the graveyard." Meanie concluded as Don Zaloog shows Dark Scorpion Combination.
"This could be problematic." Naoto frowned.
"Problematic isn't the word. More like stupid cause of this! Magician's Legacy!" Chazz called.

"So now Armed Dragon LV7 rises again from the graveyard, and in exchange you get to draw two cards Don Zaloog." Chazz said as his dragon reappeared roaring.
Seeing the dragon Don Zaloog scowled, "Him again?"
Once he drawn his two cards he said, "You leave me no choice but play two face-downs."
"I hate it when this guy plays face-downs." Syrus mentioned fearfully.
"There are ways to play around them Syrus, the question is does Chazz have anything that can." Zane told him.
Chazz 2nd Turn:
"Okay draw!" Chazz called drawing before calling, "And I activate my dragon's special ability! I send Despair from the Dark from my hand to the graveyard so Armed Dragon LV7 can destroy all of your monsters at once with attack points equal or lower then Despair from the Dark's. 2800!"
"Hold it! I play a trap! Retreat of the Dark Scorpions!" Don Zaloog countered.

"Now all the Dark Scorpions on the field retreat to my hand!" At that all 5 ran off the field evading the effect.
Sweatdropping for a moment Chazz dismissed it, "Fine, I'll attack directly! Go get him!"
At that the dragon attacked as Don Zaloog screamed in agony. (Don Zaloog: 1200)
"Wait, why didn't he summon that?" Teddie asked curiously. "The one he used against sensei."
"Ted he doesn't have it in his hand yet." Yuzu told him, "If it's his only copy it will take him a while to draw it."
Teddie frowned. "I wasn't looking over his shoulder, that's all."
"How dare he strike at the boss like that!?" Cliff yelled angered.
"You may have saved your monsters, but that won't change a thing." Chazz said. "I set one card and end my move."
Chazz: 2000
Don Zaloog: 1200
Don Zaloog 3rd Turn:
"Lucky shot that's all." Don Zaloog grunted drawing. "I summon myself, Don Zaloog again!"
As he stepped on the field he smirked revealing a familiar spell card, "Now I play Mustering of the Dark Scorpions! Welcome back team!"
The other four cheered at this.
"Do something before he beats you!" Chie shouted at Chazz.
"Don't yell at me, dammit!" Chazz snapped before calling, "I activate Ojama Trio!"

"She's concerned, you're one of the only people left with a key Chazz." Jaden told him. "Plus you know what could happen if we lose the rest of them."
"She didn't have to yell at me that's all." Chazz glared to him, "Besides I'm not planning to lose as Ojama Trio limits his options."
"So we can't come out? No fair!" CK groaned.
"I can! Go on boss do what you have to do!" Meanie cried running to the monster slot.
"Meanae..." Don Zaloog started quietly closing his eyes before calling, "I play the spell Dark Scorpion - Tragedy of Love!"
Dark Scorpion - Tragedy of Love
Normal Spell Card
You can only activate this card when there are "Don Zaloog" and "Dark Scorpion - Meanae the Thorn" face-up on your side of the field. Send 1 "Dark Scorpion - Meanae the Thorn" from your side of your field to the Graveyard to destroy all of your opponent's monsters.
"Now I tribute Dark Scorpion - Meanae the Thorn to destroy every monster on your field!"
At that Meanae gave out a battle cry, and she struck with her whip destroying Armed Dragon but it pushed her back
"Avenge me boss! Avenge me!" Meanae cried out as she flew through the air.
"I will Meanae, Double Blast Attack!" Don Zaloog called shooting Chazz.
Chazz braced himself. (Chazz: 0600)
"Now you have to discard a card in your hand!" Don Zaloog smirked.
"I'd be happy to. I discard Ojamagic." Chazz answered. "Of course, since it went from my hand to my graveyard I can add Ojama Yellow, Ojama Green, and Ojama Black to my hand."
"Bring it on they don't scare me!" Don Zaloog smirked.
Chazz 3rd Turn:
"You should." Chazz smirked drawing before smirking, "And now you lose."
"That sounds good." Jaden grinned.
I'll start things off with Pot of Greed to draw two cards." Chazz started drawing twice. "Now I use Polymerization to fuse my three Ojamas together in order to summon Ojama King!"
At that the three fused into a big egg shaped Ojama with undies, and a green cape.

"Now when I activate, Ojamuscle!" Chazz smirked as Ojama King took the Tokens in his tongue swallowing them.

(Don Zaloog: 0300)
"Nice one Chazz." Jaden grinned.
"Ojama King, take down Don Zaloog and end this duel!" Chazz declared.
At that Ojama King slammed on Don Zaloog.
Chazz: 0600
Don Zaloog: 0000
Chazz wins the duel!
"No... this can't be... I lose..." Don Zaloog muttered dizzy before the Dark Scorpions vanished.
"Huh, where did they go?" Syrus asked.
"Might be back at their cards." Jaden guessed, "Well still that's one less Shadow Rider to be concerned with."
"Agreed, but the question is what is the next one going to be?" Yu asked thoughtfully.
Meanwhile...
"Another failure." stated a male voice. "Should we go now dear, or should we let him deal with them first?"
"If anyone can do it, it should be the undefeated one of us." a female voice told him, "There's no way they can win against him."
"Agreed." the male voice noted. "He'll win easily."
"Then we'll inform him to get set." the female voice said as they headed off.
Ulrich362: Well... another Shadow Rider down but it sounds like things are about to get much worse.
bopdog111: 'Undefeated'... That's real bad.
Ulrich362: Definitely. Well hopefully someone can take him down.
