bopdog111: We're here guys.

Ulrich362: Exactly, but who or what will arrive at Academy Island now?

bopdog111: Maybe their big guns now?

Ulrich362: Possibly, then again the Shadow Riders are likely getting desperate so Banner, Zane, and Chazz need to be cautious. Enjoy the chapter.

Disclaimer: We don't own Yu-Gi-Oh! GX or Persona but we own the OCs!


"Even Abidos?" the woman voice asked annoyed.

"They're more powerful than we could have imagined." the man's voice noted. "Then again, perhaps it's time we silenced these key bearers for good my dear."

"Very well my dear." the woman's voice smirked, "Sir? It's our turn."

"Go, and this time I expect another key to fall into our hands." an old male voice told them.

With that the two left.


The next day at Duel Academy...

Yukiko, Chie, and Naoto were talking about last night's events with Abidos' Duel Disk on Yukiko's arm in place of the Academy Standard Duel Disk.

"How many do you think are left?" Chie asked.

"Maybe close to zero?" Yukiko asked.

"That would be ideal, but I have a feeling we're... Rise-chan? Syrus?" Naoto asked noticing them.

Hearing that they looked over to them. Rise looked nervous. "There's something in the abandoned dorm you guys, something bad."

"Something?" Chie asked hearing that.

"That's right, Rise thinks it's another one of them." Syrus explained. "Like before, when all the shadows showed up."

"Let's do it by tonight. We'll get busted going to the Dorm during the day." Yukiko said to them.

"Yeah, that's probably a good idea." Rise agreed. "That aside though, are those Shadow Riders getting weaker?"

"Let's hope so." Naoto said to them.


Meanwhile...

"Alexis... you've noticed it haven't you?" Zane inquired.

That made her turn to him.

"Atticus, he's not himself." Zane clarified.

"Yeah... This raises more questions." Alexis admitted looking down.

"Hopefully whatever's going on will be resolved soon." Zane frowned.

Alexis nodded agreeing with that.

"We should get going, the last thing we want is to be late to Dr. Crowler's class." Zane mentioned. "For now... all we can do is wait anyway."

She nodded as they walked off to class.


Later at night...

Banner, and Yuzu were leading the group to the Abandoned Dorm since they said Rise sensed a new threat from there. Suddenly they heard a rustling from the trees nearby.

"Who's there!?" Yuzu said turning to the bushes.

"I believe you've... engaged with our associates? Camula and the others?" inquired a male voice.

"Our? So we're dealing with 2 this time?" Jaden asked hearing that.

"You aren't worth our time... the boy who lost to a doll." mentioned a female voice. "Now then, which two Keys will we be claiming?"

"Whatever, I can handle you two easy." Chazz said to the two, "So why don't you come out, and show us who we're dealing with?"

"Oh, and who is your partner little boy?" the female voice questioned.

"We only duel as a team, two against two." the male voice stated.

"I don't need partners if I can take you down myself." Chazz told them.

Yuzu turned to Banner, "Banner?"

"Huh? What?" Banner asked turning before figuring out the look in her eyes, "Oh... Okay."

"Chazz let me, and Banner handle them." Yuzu said to the black blazer Slifer who turned, "Teachers have to set an example to their students, and Banner hasn't had a turn against a Shadow Rider yet."

"Oh, so your name is Banner?" the male voice inquired. "Alright, then here are the rules. Each team will share a field and graveyard, we'll alternate turns, and both teams will possess 8000 life points instead of 4000. Of course, only the duelist who takes the first move won't be allowed to attack."

"Well could you come out so we know who you two are?" Banner asked them.

The man has black hair with green eyes wearing a black robe while a woman having red hair with green eyes, and wearing the same robe.

"So since you heard our names it's only fair you tell us your's." Yuzu told them.

"Alex." the man answered.

"Samantha." the woman stated. "Now then, shall we begin?"

With that all four got started.

"DUEL!"

Samantha & Alex: 8000

Let the duel begin!


"So who's first?" Yuzu asked.

"For every card I'm holding, this monster gains 500 attack points."

"Your turn."

"Hold that thought, I play Jar of Greed!" Samantha stated. "A simple trap that lets me draw one card."


Jar of Greed

Draw 1 card.


She drew as Silent Magician increased in strength.

"Don't think it'll be that easy! I activate Forbidden Chalice!" Yuzu called.


Forbidden Chalice

Quick-Play Spell Card

Target 1 face-up monster on the field; until the end of this turn, that target gains 400 ATK, but its effects are negated.


"Silent Magician gains 400 attack points! But in exchange it's effects are gone!" Yuzu called as a chalice appeared for the Magician to take.

"Normally a good move, but once per turn Silent Magician can negate a spell card you try and use." Samantha revealed.

"What?" Yuzu asked as Magician swiped away the Chalice, and attacked Giant Orc destroying it as Yuzu grunted. (Yuzu & Banner: 7700)

"Anything else you want to try?" Samantha taunted.

Yuzu grunted before saying to her husband, "Sorry Honey... I only costed us some points."

"It's not your fault Yuzu." Banner assured, "You done well."

Yuzu smiled before setting two cards, "Your turn Alex."

Alex 1st Turn:

"This is proving to be simple." Alex stated drawing his card.

Silent Magician: (ATK: 1000 + (6 * 500) = 4000)

If this card is destroyed by battle, or if this card in its owner's control is destroyed by an opponent's card effect: You can Special Summon 1 "Silent Swordsman" monster from your hand or Deck, except "Silent Swordsman", ignoring its Summoning conditions.


Silent Magician: (ATK: 2500 - 500 = 2000)

"It may cost Samantha's Magician a few points, but now we have two monsters in play. Silent Magician and Silent Swordsman attack her directly!"

The two charged in at Yuzu who called, "Not so fast! I have Negate Attack!"


Negate Attack

Counter Trap Card

When an opponent's monster declares an attack: Target the attacking monster; negate the attack, then end the Battle Phase.


"And with that the battle instantly comes to a close." Yuzu grinned.

"Fair enough, I end my turn." Alex stated calmly.

Banner 1st Turn:

"Okay draw." Banner said drawing, 'Thank goodness, I had brought this Deck around with me.' "For my first move I'll start off by summoning Giant Rat."

"Oh I do. And that is a benefit." Banner grinned.

"Excuse me?" Alex questioned.

"Giant Rat attack Silent Swordsman!" Banner called as Giant Rat charged at the Swordsman.

Silent Swordsman slashed Giant Rat destroying it.

(Yuzu & Banner: 7600)

"And now Giant Rat's special ability activates! Whenever it's destroyed in battle, I can summon an Earth Beast from my Deck that has 1500 or less attack points." Banner told them, "And that card is Gyaku-Gire Panda!"

A panda appeared growling.


Gyaku-Gire Panda

"So that's your strategy." Samantha frowned. "Silent Swordsman only has 1500 attack points, and your panda will increase to 1800."

Gyaku-Gire Panda: (ATK: 800 + (500 * 2) = 1800)

"And now Panda be a good boy, and attack that Swordsman!" Banner called as the Panda charged at Silent Swordsman.

"I activate a spell card, Silent Sword Slash." Alex countered.

The Panda was slashed at this. (Yuzu & Banner: 6400)

"If you do don't mind me saying you two sure are a good team." Yuzu smiled to them, "They both match in harmony. Honestly kind of ironic."

"What do you expected, we've been married for years." Alex smiled. "Samantha brings light to my world, but for the sake of our fellow Shadow Riders, we'll silence you both here and now."

"Huh. Me, and Banner are married also." Yuzu admitted to them, "This is gonna be an interesting match-up."

"If by interesting you mean since it's a duel between couples but let's not mix words, you two are as good as defeated already." Samantha smirked.

"Let's see." Banner said setting two cards ending his turn.


Yuzu & Banner: 6400

Samantha & Alex: 8000


Samantha 2nd Turn:

Samantha drew her card and smirked.

Silent Swordsman: (ATK: 3000 + 500 = 3500)

Silent Magician: (ATK: 1000 + (3 * 500) = 2500)

Rise suddenly gasped. "The Shadow!"

Hearing that Syrus turned to her.

"We need to go, if that thing gets out of the dorm people will be in a lot of danger." Rise told him.

"We'll handle them." Yuzu told them.

"Alright, but be careful." Yosuke mentioned as the others ran off.

"We'll get to them soon enough, Silent Magician and Silent Swordsman attack!" Samantha called.

The two charged in only for Banner to call, "Not so fast, I activate the trap, Magic Cylinder on the Silent Swordsman!"

Samantha cried out as she was slashed while Silent Magician blasted Banner.

"Samantha!" Alex cried.

"Banner!" Yuzu cried seeing this.

(Yuzu & Banner: 3900)

(Samantha & Alex: 4500)

Samantha coughed weakly before glaring at Banner. "I end my turn."

Yuzu 2nd Turn:

"Alright my turn draw!" Yuzu called drawing seeing she drawn Black Illusion Ritual before asking, "Your Silent Magician negates any Spell Effect right?"

Silent Swordsman: (ATK: 3500 + 500 = 4000)

"That's right." Samantha nodded.

"Well did you expect this? I activate, Urgent Ritual Art!" Yuzu called.


Urgent Ritual Art

Normal Trap Card

If you control no Ritual Monsters: Banish 1 Ritual Spell from your hand or GY; this card's effect becomes that card's effect that Ritual Summons a monster when the card is activated.

"This negates your trap while allowing you to draw." Banner told them.

Silent Magician: (ATK: 2500 + 500 = 3000)

"So now by sacrificing a level 1 or higher monster on the field I can summon my best monster." Yuzu said the vase appeared before Ambitous Gopher flew to the top as the shadows grabbed it dragging it to the vase, "Come forth! Relinquished!"

At that smoke Relinquished emerged from the vase.

If this card would be destroyed by battle, destroy that equipped monster instead. While equipped with that monster, any battle damage you take from battles involving this card inflicts equal effect damage to your opponent.


"What are you going to do with that?" Alex questioned.

"Absorb Silent Magician!" Yuzu called as Relinquished conjured a vortex.

"My Magician!" Samantha cried.

Silent Magician was absorbed by Relinquished.

Relinquished: (ATK: 0 + 3000 = 3000/DEF: 0 + 1000 = 1000)

"Relinquished is still weaker than my Silent Swordsman." Alex pointed out.

"But that evens the playing field." Yuzu grinned before saying, "I activate the spell, Axe of Despair!"

The equipped monster gains 1000 ATK. When this card is sent from the field to the Graveyard: You can Tribute 1 monster; place this card on the top of your Deck.


"Relinquished gains 1000 points!" Yuzu called as Relinquished moved to take a fiendish axe.

"No you don't, Silent Swordsman negates that spell!" Samantha called.

The Axe shattered.

"Swordsman had that effect as well?" Banner asked seeing that.

"Silent Swordsman and Silent Magician are partners. They share the same strength." Alex told him.

"Just like you, and Samantha. The bond of love is strong alright." Yuzu smiled, "And it also amplifies in situations like these."

"You have a point, so now you'll take advantage of Relinquished's other ability?" Samantha inquired.

"If I do so then Relinquished won't have any defenses." Yuzu told her, "Your turn."

Alex 2nd Turn:

Silent Swordsman: (ATK 4000 + 500 = 4500)

"Exactly, Samantha gave me this card and I gave her one of mine." Alex stated. "Now Silent Magician LV8, attack Relinquished and end this duel, Silent Burning!"

The Magician charged in as Banner called, "Not so fast! I use Kuriboh!"

"In that case Silent Paladin attacks!"

The Paladin attacked them. (Yuzu & Banner: 1900)

"I end my turn." Alex stated.

Banner 2nd Turn:

Banner drew.

Silent Swordsman: (ATK: 4500 + 500 = 5000)

Banner looked over before seeing the two monsters, "This is a powerful formation indeed."

"So you two surrender?" Samantha smirked.

"Dark Hole." Banner answered simply.

Effects of face-up LIGHT monsters are negated. If this card destroys a LIGHT monster by battle, it can attack once again in a row.


"What is that?" Samantha questioned.

"A monster which shuts down both of your monster's special abilities." Yuzu grinned.

Samantha and Alex looked shocked. Both Magician, and Swordsman knelled weakened.

"Our monsters are still more powerful." Alex pointed out.

"Not for long. I activate the face-down Banner left for me." Yuzu called, "I activate Bond of Marriage!"


Bond of Marriage

Normal Trap Card

"What?" Samantha questioned.

"I banish a level 4 or lower monster from the graveyard to add double it's points to Brain Golem." Yuzu told them, "And my choice is Banner's Giant Rat."

"5300!" Samantha cried in shock.

"And now attack Silent Swordsman!" Yuzu called as Brain Golem attacked the Swordsman.

"I play my facedown!" Samantha called.

"Sorry but Bond stops your card from activating!" Yuzu revealed.

"It what?" Alex asked in shock.

Golem destroyed Silent Swordsman ending the duel.


Yuzu & Banner: 1900

Samantha & Alex: 0000

Yuzu & Banner wins the duel!


Samantha and Alex hit the ground hard before passing out. Yuzu ran to them at that. They weren't moving.

"Banner call Fontaine." Yuzu said to her husband who nodded.

As he started getting the phone he thought, 'Now it's all up to me.'


Meanwhile...

The group arrived at the Abandoned Dorm where Syrus asked, "You know Rise..."

She turned to him.

"Honestly if the Dorm is fixed up it could be our Base of Operations against the Shadows." Syrus admitted to her.

Rise paused at that before frowning. "I don't know, this place gives me the creeps."

"Actually yeah it would be." Yosuke admitted, "At least not like the way it is right now... Maybe we can give Mitsuru a call to fix it up after this?"

"I'm serious, there's something wrong here." Rise told them. "Something evil."

"Might be the Shadow of Nyx right?" Bastion asked her.

"No, I don't know what it is." Rise admitted. "But speaking of which the shadow is below us."

"I think I know where that is. Follow me." Jaden said running in.

They followed Jaden. They arrived at the same area that Jaden dueled Titan as they looked around only for Syrus to take Rise's hand when he noticed her shaking.

"Huh, the hell is that?" Kanji questioned.

Hearing that they looked to see. In the center of the room was a woman that is black on the left side, white on the other wearing a gray skirt, having on a pink bird mask covering her eyes, the letter 'B', and 'J' on it's chest, and wing like accessories the same color as the color scheme it's on her.

"Is this it?" Syrus asked.

"I think so." Yu nodded.

"So let's take it down!" Yosuke told them.

Boss Fight: Arcana Priestess

(Boss Theme: Mass Destruction)

The Priestess Shadow started by summoning two lesser Shadows looking like tiaras who started to call, "Agidyne!"

Chie jumped back as the flames hit Teddie and Yosuke.

"Persona! Kohryu, Ziodyne!" Yu called as the Dragon attacked one of the lesser Shadows destroying it.

"Yamato Sumeragi! Tempest Slash!" Naoto called as the other lesser Shadow was instantly destroyed.

"Marin Karin!" the Priestess Shadow chanted before winking to Kanji for charm.

Kanji blinked before shrugging. "Takeji Zaiten, Ziodyne!"

The lightning attack struck the Priestess Shadow before Syrus called, "Submarineroud, Mudoon!"

His Persona tried the instant death move but it didn't effect the Priestess Shadow who called aiming at Yukiko, "Bufula!"

Yukiko cried out collapsing from the Ice Attack. Not stopping the Priestess Shadow called again, "Kill Rush!"

The attacks charged in at Teddie, and Chie as Chie was hit but Teddie wasn't as he called, "Bearsona! Kamui-Moshiri, Mediarahan!"

"Rise, any weaknesses?" Yu asked as Teddie healed everyone and Naoto shot the shadow.

"Reflects Ice. Dark, and Light attacks don't work on it." Rise answered, "Overall nothing."

"Change, Yoshitsune!" Yu called before glowing orange.

"Takehaya Susano-o! Power Slash!" Yosuke called as the attack struck the Priestess Shadow who screeched.

The Priestess Shadow refusing to lose called, "Magarudyne!"

Syrus suddenly cried out as he was slammed into a wall.

"Syrus?" Teddie asked looking over.

"He's weak to wind, somebody help him!" Rise said nervously.

"I got it!" Yukiko called running over giving him something which healed him.

"That attack dealt more then I thought." Syrus admitted getting up.

"Get back." Yu told them. "Hassou Tobi!"

At that a eight sword attack struck the Priestess Shadow who screeched from the attacks feeling weakened. Suddenly Naoto froze.

"Naoto?" Chie asked noticing.

Her eyes were glowing.

"Yamato Sumeragi, Agidyne!"

At that the fire attack charged in. Chie cried out as it hit her. They noticed that the Priestess Shadow charmed her before Yukiko called, "Sumeo-Okami! Amrita!"

Naoto blinked. "Yukiko-sempai?"

"It charmed you." Yukiko explained.

"I see, what about..." Naoto started as Chie kicked the shadow.

"That should answer." Yukiko admitted.

Syrus soon charged in calling, "Submarineroid! Torrent Shot!"

At that Submarineroid fired it's missile at the Shadow which caused it to screech before vanishing.

(Victory Theme: Results)

Syrus got to a knee after finishing the Shadow off.

"Syrus, are you alright?" Rise asked him.

"Yeah... That was tougher then the last." Syrus admitted standing up.

"Are you all ok?" Yuzu asked walking up to them.

"Yeah... We just defeated the Shadow." Yosuke answered, "On your end?"

"Alex, and Samantha were tough, But me, and Banner pull through, and their being taken to the nurse's office." Yuzu answered, "But Samantha said one thing before I left, and that's: Final Shadow Rider..."

"Final Shadow Rider, then we're almost done." Chie realized. "Or... you guys are."

"Which means if we take him down then the Sacred Beasts cannot be touched again." Zane said taking out his, "Which means this conflict is almost over."

"Yeah... but I have a feeling the worst is yet to come." Yu frowned.

"And we can rest easy." Syrus sighed.

"Hopefully." Jaden admitted.


Ulrich362: Only one more.

bopdog111: And the strongest one out of them before their Leader.

Ulrich362: The remaining Spirit Keys are in danger.

bopdog111: How far can this final one go? Let's see next time. Be sure to review!

Ulrich362: See you in the next chapter.
