bopdog111: Well Sartorius is making his next personal move.

Ulrich362: True, which means things definitely won't be going well for whoever he targets.

bopdog111: But who is that target?

Ulrich362: To steal a phrase from a certain young lady, "Their fate is in the cards". In this case, the Arcana Force cards. Enjoy the chapter.

In the Investigation Dorm Yuzu was cooking with Belowski watching.

"You sure you don't need a hand?" Belowski inquired.

"I'm okay Moki." Yuzu smiled to her son.

Knock Knock Knock.

"Can you get that?" Yuzu asked him.

He nodded before walking over and opening the door. It was Sartorius who knocked as he nodded in greeting, "Evening."

He walked in as Belowski closed the door.

"Oh man, somethings smells awes..." Kanji started before walking down only to notice Sartorius. "What the hell are you doing here?"

Ignoring him for a second Sartorius walked, and asked Yuzu, "This wouldn't be the home of Jaden, and the special students is it?"

"Yeah... Why?" Yuzu asked turning over before blinking, "Who are you?"

"Ah yes my apologizes. I manage several duelists in my years. My name is Sartorius." Sartorius replied handing his business card to her.

Yuzu glared, "Wait? Your Sartorius, who Chazz told us about?"

"Eh. What are you insinuating here ma'am?" Sartorius asked using his manners.

"She's talking about how you brainwashed Chazz and had him do your dirty work." Kanji told Sartorius coldly. "Just like you nearly had Aster kill Jaden."

"But dear Kanji, let me assure you both I haven't done anything to your friends." Sartorius told them, "They've come to me for guidance, and Chazz seen the Light out of his own free will."

"Kanji what's going on?" Chie asked as the others all walked down only to freeze seeing him.

"Oh, we didn't know you were planning on stopping by." Yu said calmly with a friendly smile.

"I don't know what your up too Sartorius but you can get out." Yuzu glared as Sartorius turned to her, "Cause we mean business here with your 'Society of Light' Cult."

Sartorius stared as he thought, 'She is indeed of the Empress, carrying devotion towards her students... I must have it!'

With that in mind he suggested to her, "Why not we held a compromise shall we? I'll agree to face your concerns if you can beat me in a duel."

"Wait a second." mentioned a voice. "I'll duel you instead."

"This is of me, and Yuzu's concern." Sartorius said not turning to see who.

Yuzu frowned. "I refuse your challenge."

"But even if I wanted too, I can't." She added.

"You can't!" Chie panicked. "If you lose Belowksi will be all alone!"

"She's right." Alexis agreed. "I'll duel in your place."

"A teacher has to set an example for her students, and your all my responsibility." Yuzu told them, "Besides I won't lose against this creep."

"Glad to hear it. This would be a good time to show everyone that my cards hold greater Arcana Power. I'll give you a minute to prepare." Sartorius said walking out as they stared on.

Yuzu once he walked out started to panick.

"Why did you do that?" Teddie asked nervously. "You could have just said no."

"I wanted to, believe me I WANTED too. But I can't." Yuzu said looking down nervous.

"Yes you can." Yosuke told her. "Let us deal with him."

"No... I need to do this." Yuzu said taking a deep breath, "I'm a Teacher, and a Parent... And you kids are my responsibility."

Jasmine soon getting an idea walked over, "Here Professor."

She handed her a charm as Yuzu asked confused, "What's this?"

"It's a charm that Ted made for me." Jasmine answered, "I think that's what protected me from Chazz making me 'see the light', and if that worked for me it should work for you also."

Yuzu looked at the charm before smiling. "Thank you Jasmine."

Jasmine smiled nodding before Yuzu kissed Belowski's head, "Wish me luck Moki."

"I don't like this... he's giving off some really weird vibes." Belowski mentioned. "Dangerous ones."

"Yeah we know." Yuzu asked before asking the team, "Does he really have cards stronger then your Arcanas?"

They walked out with Sartorius having a Duel Disk as Yuzu activated her's, "Let's get this over with."

That was when they noticed Sartorius looking confused, and looking over his Duel Disk.

Yuzu frowned seeing that. "Would you prefer we duel the old fashioned way?"

"Forgive me. How do I start this contraption?" Sartorius said to her.

Yuzu sighed before saying, "Press the on button."

Sartorius pushed a button as it activated which he admitted, "The truth is while I am a excellent Duelist, I never actually used a Duel Disk. What do I say I used more primeval methods."

"Alright well you prepared now?" Yuzu asked him.

"Your on!"


(Dueling Theme: Running With Giants by TFK)

Yuzu: 4000

Sartorius: 4000

Let the duel begin!


Yuzu 1st Turn:

"First move's mine." Yuzu said drawing looking over, "And I activate Polymerization!"

"Kouzeon." Rise called as her Persona appeared. "Alright, let's see what he's hiding."

"Then I'll place 1 card down. Your move." Yuzu told him.

Sartorius 1st Turn:

"Well not bad Yuzu. A Fusion Summon right off the bat." Sartorius said drawing seeing it's The World, "Let's see how it fares against the True Strength the Light will bring with the Arcana. I summon Arcana Force XI - The Justice!"

At that a fairy appeared.

ATK: 2100

● Heads: Each time this card battles (Quick Effect): You can target 1 card your opponent controls; destroy it.
● Tails: Each time this card battles (Quick Effect): Target 1 card on your side of the field; destroy that target.


Yu's eyes widened in confusion. "Justice isn't the eleventh Arcana."

"If I have no monsters in play, I can summon Justice from my hand then Dark Balter's abilities will be negated for this turn." Sartorius grinned as Dark Balter grayed which she grunted, "And with it's effects out of the way, I can safely activate my Normal Spells."

"This is bad." Yukiko frowned.

"Then here's the turn of fate." Sartorius added as a coin appeared.

"What?" Yuzu asked seeing it.

"Do you believe in fate works in mysterious ways? Well it's true cause we will know if fate goes your way." Sartorius told her grinning, "If the coin lands on Heads then whenever Justice battles a card on your field is automatically destroyed. However if it's Tails then I have to destroy a card on my field whenever Justice battles."

"I'll flip the coin." Yosuke told him. "That way there won't be any tricks."

Sartorius at that hand a coin to him at that, "Go ahead but I'll assure you I never resort to trickery. I'm a Fortune Teller, and my Predictions never once came false."

"Right." Yosuke rolled his eyes before flipping the coin. "Tails."

"Which means the moment Justice attacks then your in luck." Sartorius said to Yuzu, "But to make things interesting I'll activate my Vision."

"At the cost of using this card only one time a duel, I can shuffle an Arcana Force from my hand once I reveal, and draw two cards. And if I happen to summon a monster that is the same as the one I show you then you lose life points equal to it's attack points." Sartorius told Yuzu before saying, "And Yuzu this card symbolizes what your Arcana is. Arcana Force III - The Empress."

He shows a gray female fairy to her. Yu frowned hearing that. Sartorius shuffled the card before drawing two cards, "Then I'll summon the card that symbolizes Kanji here. Arcana Force IV - The Emperor!"

At that a fairy with multiple arms appeared.

● Heads: All "Arcana Force" monsters you control gain 500 ATK.
● Tails: All "Arcana Force" monsters you control lose 500 ATK.


"You don't know the first thing about me." Kanji snapped.

"I do know that you use your strength which Emperor is about." Sartorius grinned, "Yosuke? Another Coin Toss is in order."

Yosuke frowned before flipping the coin. "Heads this time."

"So now all the Arcana Force on my field gets stronger by 500." Sartorius grinned.

Justice: (ATK: 2100 + 500 = 2600)

Emperor: (ATK: 1400 + 500 = 1900)

"Oh well. That was just a lucky break." Yuzu said to him.

"Lucky? Luck isn't anything here. Destiny, and Fate had intended for this." Sartorius grinned, "I place a card down, and now Justice attacks Dark Balter! And due to Justice's ability I destroy my face-down!"

The face-down shattered as Justice charged.

"Well I have this!" Yuzu countered, "Hate Buster!"


Hate Buster

"Nice." Chie grinned.

"Very well done. However the Emperor can still attack." Sartorius reminded as the Emperor fired blasts as Yuzu grunted. (Yuzu: 2100)

"Professor Yuzu!" Teddie cried in horror.

"It's just a minor blow. Nothing more." Yuzu assured him with a smile.

"Well now I activate Divination of Fate." Sartorius told her.

You can only use 1 "Divination of Fate" effect per turn and only once that turn.


"It permits me to add any Arcana Force from my Deck to my hand. And I'll pick the monster that symbolizes Rise. Arcana Force VI - The Lovers!" Sartorius said showing a fairy.

Yu frowned more. 'Just how much does he know?'

"And I'll place two cards down. It's your move Yuzu." Sartorius grinned.


Yuzu: 2100

Sartorius: 1900


Yuzu 2nd Turn:

"Okay now it's getting real!" Yuzu called drawing looking before saying, "I activate Pot of Greed!"


Pot of Greed

"Like your Vision, I can draw 2 cards of my own." Yuzu said drawing twice, "Nice. I activate Contract with the Dark Master!"


Contract with the Dark Master

Ritual Spell Card

This card is used to Ritual Summon "Dark Master - Zorc". You must also Tribute monsters from your hand or field whose total Levels equal 8 or more.


"It allows me to Ritual Summon as long as I sacrifice monsters worthy of level 8." Yuzu answered.

"That will definitely help." Chie smiled.

"It's possible." Naoto noted. "Though I can't shake the feeling something bad will happen."

"But if I sacrifice a card like... Ritual Raven here!" Yuzu called showing the card, "I don't need that amount of monsters cause this little guy counts as the entire sacrifice!"

"If this works she'll win." Kanji said with a grin.

"So now I summon Dark Master - Zorc!" Yuzu called as a large fiend appeared.

You can only use each effect of "The Spiritual Lord" once per turn.


"I can discard Lovers from my hand to summon an Arcana Force Fusion Monster." Sartorius said discarding the card he added.

"A Fusion Summon?" Chie asked in surprise.

"So I fuse both Fiend, and Empress from my Deck." Sartorius said as the two fused, "Now here is the card that symbolizes the whole Team! Arcana Force XX - The Judgement!"

Judgement appeared from it's match with Chazz.

● Tails: Your opponent can add 1 card from their Deck to their hand.
You can only use each effect of "Arcana Force XX - The Judgement" once per turn.


Rise's eyes widened in horror. "Oh no!"

"And now let's see what the turn of fate has to say." Sartorius said turning to Yosuke, "Another Coin Toss please."

Yosuke frowned before flipping the coin. "Tails again."

"Your allowed to add a card from your Deck." Sartorius said to her.

"Your talk about fate is disagreeing with your judgement." Yuzu said looking over her Deck, and adding a card, "Well your Fusion won't be a problem! Because I activate Zorc's special ability! I roll a dice once a turn!"

"If this works she'll win." Teddie smiled.

"Come on." Yuzu said as Zorc throw a dice before landing on 1, "Ah yeah!"

"Fate seems to be your friend." Sartorius grinned as Judgement, and Emperor glowed, "However Kanji's Arcana can still battle with Emperor's Staff!"

● Tails: This card, cards you control cannot be destroyed by your card effects.


"Huh?" Yukiko asked in confusion.

"Once you draw another card, another Coin Toss of Fate is performed." Sartorius said turning to Yosuke as Yuzu drew.

Yosuke frowned tossing the coin, and check, "It's Heads."

"So now cards on my field can't be destroyed by your effects this turn." Sartorius smirked as the glow died down from both monsters, "And with Emperor's Head ability it gains 500 points."

Judgement: (ATK: 3000 + 500 = 3500)

"No way..." Chie whispered nervously.

Yuzu grunted, "No sweat. Cause Zorc attack Judgement!"

"What are you doing, it's too powerful!" Yosuke cried inn shock.

"I activate Ego Boost!" Yuzu added.

"Thanks to your monster's ability, I added this card! It allows Zorc to gain 1000 points this turn!" Yuzu called as Zorc glowed. (ATK: 2700 + 1000 = 3700)

Zorc clashed Judgement which shattered as Sartorius grunted. (Sartorius: 1700)

"I may not survive this one." Chie admitted sighing in relief.

"I place this down, and it's your move." Yuzu said ending her turn.

Zorc: (ATK: 3700 - 1000 = 2700)

"Well Yuzu... Your Empress Arcana is shining bright for your devotion towards your students." Sartorius grinned, "Let's see how much it will take you as I reveal an Arcana that not even you can smite."

"What?" Yuzu questioned.

Sartorius 2nd Turn:

"I don't take any battle damage for the rest of this turn!" Yuzu called as Zorc shattered causing her to grunt.

Belowski let out a sigh of relief hearing that.

"Well now Fiend attacks Empress! And due to it's effect Lovers is destroyed also!" Sartorius called as the two shattered, "But don't forget when Fiend destroys your monster by it's ability you take 500 points of damage!"

Fiend struck Yuzu as she cried out grunting. (Yuzu: 0300)

"Stop it!" Teddie cried. "Just stop!"

"It's alright Ted... I managed to barely make it." Yuzu told him with a smile, "And I promise I'll finish this."

"Fate intended for this to end." Sartorius grinned as they turned, "I activate World's special ability! During the end phase, I can sacrifice two monsters!"

Emperor, and Fiend vanished.

"But since it lost Emperor, World's points goes back to normal." Sartorius said to them as World glowed. (ATK: 3600 - 500 = 3100)

"Then that's good right?" Chie asked.

Sartorius smirked, "In exchange... Your next turn is skipped!"

"Say what!?" Yuzu asked in disbelief for such a powerful ability.

"Wait but she doesn't have anything to protect herself!" Chie panicked.

Sartorius 3rd Turn:

Sartorius declared as he drew, "Time to accept fate! World attack her directly!"

World charged firing a blast as Yuzu stared on in horror before it struck her causing her to cry out landing hard on the ground.


Yuzu: 0000

Sartorius: 1700

Sartorius wins the duel!


Everyone started to run to Yuzu only for her to get up groaning.

SHATTER!

Sartorius froze hearing a roar of agony as he held his head crying out, "Ahh! W-What just happened!?"

Yuzu looked to see the charm she has shattered, "It-AH!"

She held her head as Belowski took her shoulder, "Mom?"

SMACK!

Yuzu smacked his hand away. Seeing that Rise gasped in horror as Belowski's eyes widened. Yuzu rose up before raising her head showing she has a smirk with her eyes being empty before walking to Sartorius, "How may I serve you, Master Sartorius?"

Once he managed to secure himself he grinned, "Welcome to the Society of Light, Yuzu Banner. We're delighted to have you in our ranks. Head back to our dorm, and get changed to the appropriate attire."

She nodded walking off. Seeing that Belowski fell to his knees before starting to cry.

"Don't be sad. You all will see the Light soon enough." Sartorius said to them, "And I hope you think now from seeing the true display of the Arcana there would be no other choice but see the Light."

With that he walked off himself. Belowski just kept sobbing while someone grabbed Sartorius. Sartorius easily got him off as Teddie hugged Belowski.

"That goddamned bastard!" Yosuke screamed.

Sartorius struggled a bit against Kanji before glaring as a white aura emerged from him. Rise gasped in horror when it did as Kanji grunted before losing his grip just as he punched Sartorius across the jaw as hard as he possibly could. Sartorius' head turned but looked like it did little effect before he stretched his hand to Kanji, and let out force on him. Kanji's eyes widened before being sent flying. He landed against a tree grunting.

"If you know what's good for you don't do anything as stupid as opposing destiny." Sartorius said in a distorted voice as the aura died down glaring at Kanji before walking off.

"Mediarahan!" Yu called to Kanji.

Kanji frowned. "Thanks sempai."

Suddenly Belowski ran after Sartorius. "Wait... please!"

"Belowski wait!" Teddie cried to him.

Belowski ignored him before catching Sartorius and grabbing his arm. "Please... take me too!"

Sartorius turned to him before pulling his arm back, "If you want to join the Society of Light then your turn will come. Until then just wait until Fate decides it will be your turn."

"Please... I'm begging you." Belowski choked out.

Sartorius watched on before walking off, "Patience is a virtue. Your time will come."

Belowski collapsed into sobs at that. Teddie found him hugging him, "I'm so sorry Belowski. Come on."

"Leave me alone." Belowski choked out.

Teddie softly nodded giving him another hug before walking off looking down back at the dorm.

"He needs to pay." Yukiko stated coldly.

"I don't get it. The Charm worked when I lost to Chazz. Why didn't it work for her?" Jasmine asked concerned.

"Aura?" Syrus asked her.

"You saw it right, when Kanji grabbed him that white aura that showed up." Rise explained.

"Oh yeah. What was that?" Syrus asked.

"I don't know, but it was dangerous." Rise admitted before shuddering in fear.

Syrus hugged her, "I won't let it come near you."

She hugged him back but he could feel intense goosebumps all over her body. Syrus at that kissed the goosebumps on her arm seeing if that makes her better. Rise smiled gently at that before Kouzeon suddenly appeared and she started screaming as white electricity was crackling over her Persona.

"RISE!"

Hearing that everyone turned to look. Rise looked to be in increasing agony as they realized she was the only one who summoned her Persona during that duel.

"I won't let it come to you!" Syrus called focusing as Submarineroid appeared giving strength to Kouzeon.

The electricity crackled before trying to surround both Personas only to fizzle out as Rise collapsed gasping for breath. Syrus also gasped for breath. Rise quickly hugged him. "You idiot... what if you were hurt or worse?"

"I... I said I would keep you safe." Syrus said hugging her back.

Rise smiled before kissing him. "Yeah... you did."

"...Do you need to do a session tonight?" Syrus blushed to her.

"I wouldn't say no." Rise smiled.

Syrus smiled kissing her back.

"Huh, hey Ted are you alright?" Yosuke asked noticing him.

"Belowski... Wants to be alone for a second." Teddie answered.

Jasmine frowned at that before hugging him. "It'll work out somehow."

Teddie hugged her back as they watched before Yu's Duel Disk ringed. Yu blinked before pressing a button. "Hello?"

"Yu?" Dr. Crowler asked.

"Dr. Crowler..." Yu replied. "Is everything alright?"

"It's alright. Just to inform you of two things." Dr. Crowler answered.

"First off we're holding a contest for a field trip somewhere, and I thought maybe you or one of your friends would like to give it a whirl." Dr. Crowler answered, "Second we're having a new student who's entering as a third-year."

"A contest?" Yu asked. "I could give it a shot, and can I ask who the new student is?"

"Let's see hmm..." Dr. Crowler said shuffling papers before saying, "Ah here it is! It's a man named Sartorius Kumar."

Yu's eyes widened. "Sartorius is a student!"

"Oh did you met him?" Dr. Crowler asked hearing that, "Well I suppose he went to you, makes sense. Anyway you, and your friends come by at the arena tomorrow, and one of them be ready to duel Princess Rose for the field trip."

He hanged up.

"Dr. Crowler wait Sartorius..." Yu tried to say before the the call ended. "One of us needs to duel someone named Princess Rose tomorrow, but I have to see Dr. Crowler."

With that he ran out of the Investigation Dorm and towards Dr. Crowler's office. They blinked looking at each other.

"Uh why exactly?" Yosuke asked.

"He's probably going to tell him what happened to Professor Yuzu." Naoto noted.

"Well, I guess we should figure out who's going to duel while he does that." Yukiko suggested.

"That's why I'm asking why we should duel her." Yosuke told them.

"Maybe we shouldn't." Chie admitted.

"Well... I'll be there." Kanji told them.

"Kanji-kun?" Naoto asked in surprise.

"Me, and Alice had been working on things, and now we're ready to give them a try." Kanji explained.

Naoto nodded before pausing. "Would you allow me to wish you luck?"

"Of course." Kanji smiled.

Naoto blushed and pulled her hat down before smiling. "Then I'll join you shortly."

Everyone blinked hearing that as Syrus asked Rise, "What's wrong with wishing luck?"

"Naoto and Kanji are dating remember?" Rise whispered.

"Hm? Oh... oh!" Syrus realized what before blushing.

Rise nodded before kissing him on the cheek.


Meanwhile...

Dr. Crowler was arguing things with Bonaparte. The door suddenly slammed open. "Dr. Crowler!"

Startled they looked to sse Yu was there as Bonaparte was the first to berate, "What gives you the right to barge in inopiné!?"

Yu ignored him. "Dr. Crowler, Sartorius brainwashed your sister!"

"Wait what?" Dr. Crowler asked blinking, "Yu just... Slow down, and give me the whole story."

Yu nodded before telling Dr. Crowler everything starting from Sartorius defeating Chazz, the Obelisk Blue dorm turning into the white dorm, Teddie's charm protecting Jasmine but leaving out her being a princess, and Yuzu's match with Sartorius where he brainwashed her.

"That..." Dr. Crowler said before looking down.

"If he's on the island everyone is in danger." Yu pointed out.

"...Unfortunately it's out of my hands to do something." Dr. Crowler told him.

Yu frowned but nodded. "I understand."

"But Yu... Please get Yuzu back for us." Dr. Crowler told him.

Yu turned to him. "I'll do everything in my power to help her and everyone else."

He nodded as Yu walked out.


bopdog111: What was that Rise seen?

Ulrich362: Something dangerous that's for sure.

bopdog111: And Kanji, and Naoto are the third group at that level.

Ulrich362: True... the next chapter will have a bit of fluff before Kanji's match with Princess Rose won't it?

bopdog111: Yeah it will.

Ulrich362: Sounds good, see you in the next chapter.

bopdog111: Be sure to review!
