Ulrich362: Well... back to this one. Assuming anyone is still reading it.
bopdog111: We're now onto one of the main events of the Second Season. The Genex Tournament.
Ulrich362: Yup, technically there would be a few more Society of Light duels and this would be where Alice appears but the former can just be added to the tournament and the latter was already dealt with during the Shadow Rider arc so... time for a tournament.
bopdog111: And Professor Sheppard coming back. Time to take a back seat Dr. Crowler the Chancellor's back home.

Disclaimer: We don't own Yu-Gi-Oh! GX or Persona but we own the OCs!
In the auditorium everyone have gathered in the auditorium because they heard from Dr. Crowler, and Bonaparte they have an important announcement from Chancellor Sheppard who is making a surprising come-back.
"I wonder what he's been doing, and what he thinks of the Society of Light." Yukiko mentioned thoughtfully.
"We'll find out soon." Yu mentioned.
At that Sheppard walked to the center of the auditorium.
"First of all it's good to be back. Judging by your clothes, we've got a popular new white dorm on campus. Well, despite these changes, I'm still in charge." Sheppard mentioned to everyone, "And I have a special gift to offer all of you."
The students all listened attentively before Zane's eyes widened slightly.
"Wait a second... that might work." he whispered to himself. "Reverse..."
"And now..." Sheppard started as the screen behind him shows a medal that has GX on it, "I give you the "GX Dueling Tournament". A competition meant for the next generation of master duelists. It's like nothing you've ever experienced before, and it starts right now."
Everyone started talking among themselves.
"Wait, what exactly is the GX Dueling Tournament?" asked a Ra Yellow.
"Duelists from around the globe will converge here. Students and professionals are welcome, and when the dust settles and only one duelist remains, they will be known as the World's Greatest! The entire Island is your field. To start, you'll each get a GX Medallion." Sheppard explained to them showing the same Medal to them, "The rules are simple. You must accept the first duel you're challenged to, and you must participate in at least one duel each day. If you win, you get all of your opponent's medals. The final winner will be easy to spot. They'll have all the medallions. During my travels, I've met some of the world's most talented duelists. They have all been invited because I truly believe you are as good as they are. Now get out there and make your chancellor proud, will ya?"
Jaden grinned. "This sounds awesome."
"Don't forget what the prize was last year." Syrus teased thinking back to the School Duel between North Academy, and Duel Academy.
Jaden froze at that before shuddering as Zane walked down.
"Chancellor, do you have a minute to talk?" he requested.
"Hm?" Sheppard looked before laughing, "Aha! Zane! I was wondering where you were. It's good to have you back in the Academy, how you've been?"
"Almost really bad, it's a long story." Zane mentioned before his expression turned serious. "Though... I have an important request."
Sheppard mentioned him to follow as they walked off.
"This is gonna be intense." Yosuke admitted to them.
"Yeah, who do you guys think Chancellor Sheppard invited?" Jaden asked.
"Duelists that are stronger." Rise admitted, "And our luck might be Yugi."
"Maybe." Yu nodded thoughtfully.
Meanwhile with Sheppard and Zane...
"What is it Zane? I can't remember the last time your so serious." Sheppard asked him.
"Things have changed... that's why I'm asking permission to use the Cyber Reverse Deck." Zane answered. "It could be a matter of life and death."
Sheppard blinked, "The Underworld Deck? That's a pretty straightforward thing to ask for. What's going on?"
"I don't know all the details, but you've seen the new white dorm... it's to deal with that." Zane answered. "When you're dealing with light, you need darkness to take it down."
"There are gonna be serious consequences when it's used. I don't know what kind of effects it will do." Sheppard told him seriously.
"It's a risk we need to take, and you know of everyone who's studied the Cyber Legacy I'm the most qualified to try and control those cards." Zane pointed out. "If I don't use those cards to deal with Sartorius and his Society of Light people will
Sheppard stared before narrowing his eyes, "You always were the best of the Cyber Dojo. Give me a day to get it. But let me warn you Zane. It has power that can have disastrous results if not controlled."
"I know, and I assure you I can handle those cards." Zane told him. "I'm not the same as I was when I graduated."
Sheppard nodded, "By the way bring Jasmine to my office. There's something I wish to discus with her."
"Jasmine, alright." Zane nodded walking to let her know.
With that Sheppard walked to his office.
"Welcome back Chancellor." Dr. Crowler said quietly seeing him.
"Thanks for keeping my seat warm Crowler." Sheppard told him before turning to Bonaparte, "Though who's this little man?"
"My name is Jean-Louis Bonaparte Chancellor, your new vice chancellor." Bonaparte introduced in his French accent.
"Yes... he'll be taking the position." Dr. Crowler confirmed. "If you'll excuse me Chancellor."
"Hang on Crowler." Sheppard said sitting down.
He looked down before turning. "Yes?"
"Zane gave me a brief explanation of this Society of Light, and how Yuzu, and Belowski got involved. All I can say is that it's not your fault. Yuzu was doing her responsibilities as a teacher, and a parent to protect her kids." Sheppard told him softly.
"With all due respect Chancellor, after Banner's death and my failures. I don't have any right to keep my position." Dr. Crowler admitted. "As of today, I'm officially resigning from Duel Academy. I appreciate everything you've done, goodbye."
"Actually you do have a right to keep it." Sheppard told him.
"What?" Dr. Crowler asked in shock.
"Your honest, and on top of those wanted to get your sister back." Sheppard explained, "I'm not much of a Fortune Teller but I have a feeling yourself will bring Yuzu, and Belowski back to our side."
Dr. Crowler's eyes widened before he looked down and clenched his fists. "I... yes."
"Now me, and Jasmine are about to discuss important, and personal detail so you wouldn't mind giving us a few minutes?" Sheppard asked Dr. Crowler, and Bonaparte.
"Not at all Chancellor, though if I may I would agree with Crowler's resignation. This whole mess happened under his watch after all." Bonaparte pointed out before walking out with Crowler.
'I'll have to give him a lecture after this.' Sheppard told himself at that.
A minute later someone knocked on the door.
"Chancellor Sheppard, you wanted to see me?"
Sheppard looked saying, "Come in."
Jasmine walked in at that to his desk.
"Ah, Jasmine. It's been a while. Everything being like you wanted to being a regular student?" Sheppard smiled to her.
"Yeah, it is." Jasmine nodded. "Well... mostly, with everything that's been happening recently though..."
She looked down at that.
"It's been better."
"Well that aside there is business involving your heritage." Sheppard admitted to her, "As you know, us, your father, and your closet friends are the only ones who know your secret as a Princess of Misgarth here at Duel Academy. To put it simply are you ready for a reunion with your father?"
Jasmine's eyes widened. "Dad's coming?"
"He's among the Duelists, I've invited to the GX Tournament." Sheppard answered her with a smile, "Don't get me wrong he is a Celebrity, and real talented. Relations are nothing so you can expect him to duel against you at some point. His jet will arrive in a few minutes so you better get there."
Instead of happy Jasmine looked horrified. "No he can't, you have to send him away!"
Sheppard blinked hearing that.
"If the Society of Light gets SORA... he can't come. He can't!" Jasmine panicked before running from the office.
"Jasmine!" Sheppard called at that.
Meanwhile...
A jet was flying to Duel Academy as a man that has dark hair wearing royal attire was watching before looking at a GX Medallion before thinking, 'Jasmine my girl... Let's see how much you've grown.'
"So that's her father's jet?" Jaden asked with him, and the group had arrived upon being notified that a Misgarth Plane holding royalty was invited who they might guess is Jasmine's father.
"Please no... please no!" Jasmine cried running up to the group before her eyes widened in horror.
"Jazzy-chan?" Teddie asked seeing her before widening his eyes, "What's wrong?"
"He has to leave the island, before it's too late." Jasmine answered in complete terror. "We have to get him to leave!"
Who exited the plane was the man along with a woman handcuffed to a suitcase, and two guards walking out.
"Dad!" Jasmine cried running to him.
Hearing that they looked over seeing her as the man smiled, "Jasmine! Give Dad a hug sweetheart."
"Dad this isn't the time, you have to leave now!" Jasmine told him nervously. "Please, get off the island before it's too late!"
"Jasmine? What's got you so spooked?" her father asked surprised.
At that a hand took Jasmine's shoulder causing her to freeze before who walked in front of her was Sartorius.
"King Ojin. It's an honor your highness." Sartorius bowed in respect.
"That's Prince Ojin." the man corrected, "Though I am by right as King I'm still not worthy of being called a King. And you are?"
"Your first opponent." Sartorius said showing his medallion.
"No!" Jasmine cried in horror before desperately looking to her friends for help.
Chazz, Yuzu, and Belowski were in front of them.
Ojin narrowed his eyes at Sartorius before saying, "Fine. But I can tell you want something except my Medallion."
"Your quite observant." Sartorius grinned, "Like say your Satellite, SORA."
"SORA?" Ojin questioned hearing that, "What would you do with it?"
"That's something you should wait to know until I earn the right to use it wouldn't you agree?" Sartorius asked him.
"Dad please... don't do it!" Jasmine begged with tears in her eyes. "You can't..."
"Normally I would say no to you." Ojin said to Sartorius, "But the Rules State that I must accept the first duel I'm challenged too. But let me tell you, I'll win in one turn."
"Indeed, my prediction is that the duel will end before my turn will begin." Sartorius said to him as they stepped back for distance.
The woman softly hold Jasmine's shoulder, "Have faith in your father Jasmine. He's been training endlessly for the GX Tournament, and has unlocked a few new skills."
"You don't get it Linda, dad can't win against him. If dad loses SORA to Sartorius... he'll destroy the world!" Jasmine pleaded. "He'll listen to you, please stop him!"
"DUEL!"
Ojin: 4000
Sartorius: 4000
Ojin 1st Turn:
"I'm first." Ojin said drawing, "And I activate Pot of Greed to draw 2 cards."
Pot of Greed

Draw 2 Cards.
Ojin drew twice looking, "And I activate Cost Down!"

"A discard Rivalry of the Warlords to lower the level of monsters in my hand by 2." Ojin said discarding a card, "So now I summon my Satellite Cannon!'
At that what appeared in space was the cannon.

"And then I'll activate Charge! It boosts my Cannon's points by 2000!" Ojin called as his Cannon glowed.
Charge
Normal Spell Card
All face-up "Satellite Cannons" you control gain 2000 ATK.
Satellite Cannon: (ATK: 0 + 2000 = 2000)
Jasmine looked terrified before she ran off. Yuzu gripped her arm telling, "Oh no, you stay here."
"And now Jasmine this is a new skill Linda told you." Ojin told her, "I activate Mischief of the Time Goddess!"
Mischief of the Time Goddess
Quick-Play Spell Card
Skip 1 turn, to your turn's Battle Phase.
"So now the turn phase is skipped, and instead shifts over to my turn!" Ojin called as Sartorius' turn was skipped, "Which lets me activate Limiter Removal!"

Double the ATK of all Machine monsters you currently control, until the end of this turn. During the End Phase of this turn, destroy those monsters.
Satellite Cannon: (ATK: 2000 x 2 = 4000)
"See Jasmine? Nothing to worry about." Linda told her, "Just one attack will end the duel."
"No you're wrong!" Jasmine said while struggling in Yuzu's grip. "Let go... let me go!"
"Now my Cannon attack!" Ojin called as the Cannon fired a blast at Sartorius striking him, and causing a smokescreen.
"Is it over?" Yosuke asked while Teddie ran and shoved Yuzu before embracing Jasmine.
"Now get out." Ojin said before they heard a laugh, "What?"
At that the smoke cleared showing Sartorius. (Sartorius: 4000)
A fairy was above him.
"What the?" Chie questioned.
"What's that?" Ojin questioned.
"It's my Arcana Force XV - Temperance." Sartorius replied, "By discarding it all the battle damage I would've taken becomes zero."
"Oh no, but if the Satellite Cannon attacked it loses all its points." Syrus recalled.
Cannon: (ATK: 4000 - 4000 = 0)
"In that case, I summon Satellite Base!" Ojin called as a Satellite appeared behind him.

DEF: 0
This card cannot be destroyed by battle with a Level 5 or lower monster. During each of your End Phases, this card gains 1000 DEF. If an opponent's monster attacks this card, this card's DEF becomes 0 after damage calculation.
"Not only does it gain 1000 defense points for every of my End Phases but you can't destroy it with anything less then a level 6 monster!" Ojin said to Sartorius, "That means you can't get to my Life Points now. Your prediction is wrong!"
"Actually Destiny always finds a way to work in it's fates." Sartorius said discarding a spell, "The card I've discarded an an example. It's called Intervention of Fate."
Intervention of Fate
Normal Spell Card
When your opponent Summons a monster: You can discard this card; activate 1 Spell Card directly from your hand.
"So whenever you summon a monster, I can activate any Spell Card from my hand." Sartorius told him, "So I'll activate Might of Judgement!"
Might of Judgement
Normal Spell Card
Toss a coin and apply the appropriate effect. If you control "Light Barrier", you can chose which effect to apply without tossing a coin.
● Heads: Destroy all monsters your opponent controls, then inflict 2000 damage to your opponent for each monster destroyed.
● Tails: Destroy all monsters you control, then take 2000 damage for each monster destroyed.
You can only activate 1 "Might of Judgement" per turn.
"So now a Coin Toss is performed." Sartorius said to him.
"Your deciding your next move on luck or perhaps your gonna trick us." Ojin told him,
"Please. Fate always decides what's to result, and I never resort to trickery." Sartroius said to him taking a Coin, and tossed it.
Jasmine cried out in horror seeing that. Sartorius took it, and shows what it is, "It's Heads."
"So what will that do for you?" Ojin questioned.
"I'm afraid all your monsters are destroyed, and for each one you lose 2000 points." Sartorius answered shocking him before calling, "I told you Destiny always has a way!"
At that the two Sattelites were destroyed as Ojin cried out.
Ojin: 0000
Winner Sartorius.
"He lost." Chie mentioned nervously.
"And in one of the most rarest outcomes." Jaden said in shock.
Sartorius walked over saying, "A bargain's, a bargain isn't it?"
Ojin looked before saying, "A bargain's, a bargain. The SORA is your's to command."
"Thank you." Sartorius smiled as Ojin walked to Linda.
"Wait your highness! The Satellite is too dangerous for anyone to wield!" Linda tried to protest as Ojin un-cuffed her, "Please your making a huge mistake!"
"Stop!" Ojin ordered before pointing out, "He defeated me fair, and square, and I've always been a man at my word!"
With that he hand the briefcase to Sartorius, "Your prize."
"Thank you, your majesty." Sartorius grinned taking the briefcase.
"No!" Jasmine screamed before collapsing to her knees.
"Jasmine? What's going on? You know what's in that briefcase?" Mindy asked her kneeling next to her.
"The keys to a Satellite... that can destroy the world." Jasmine whispered. "He's won... it's all over."
"Congrats Master." Chazz smirked to Sartorius, "So what shall we do?"
"We give SORA the upgrades before we can put it to work." Sartorius answered turning to Yuzu, "How long will it take?"
"4 Days at best for the mechanics to install the adjustments." Yuzu answered.
Sartorius nodded, "Perfect. In the meantime we will grow in strength."
"In just a few short days the whole world will see the Light." Sartorius smirked as they walked out, "The path to salvation is around the corner."
Linda walked to Jasmine, "Jasmine listen to me."
Jasmine just looked completely defeated.
"Here." Linda said handing what looks like a switch of a red button.
"What... what's this?" Jasmine asked weakly.
"Your father knew someone would capture SORA to their advantage so he made this for you to use." Linda told her, "It's a switch to self destruct SORA."
Jasmine's eyes widened before looking at it. "He knew..."
With that she immediately pressed the button. At that a beeping is going off at the briefcase catching Sartorius' attention looking as Chazz questioned, "What's going on?"
Sartorius opened it.
"Self Destruct Option activated: T-Minus 10 seconds till detonation." the computer stated.
Sartorius couldn't help but sighed, "I've underestimated Ojin. Ah well this is a minor setback."
With that they walked off before a few seconds later they heard of a large explosion. Jasmine let out a sigh of relief before starting to tremble. Linda hugged her close, "You saved the world from doom Jasmine."
She nodded weakly. "Only from our weapon."
Teddie rubbed her back, "Great job Jazzy Chan. But it isn't over yet."
Jasmine turned and hugged him. Teddie hugged her back tight.
"Alright the Society is off our back for the moment." Jaden told them, "What do you guys say we work in the GX Tournament, and free the students they captured?"
"Is that even possible?" Yosuke asked him.
"Yeah! We gotta duel them to set their minds right!" Jaden answered to them.
"It's our best chance, but what about Aster Phoenix?" Kanji asked. "He's still one of those guys right?"
"If is he would he be against us right now?" Jaden questioned.
"That's a good point. Aster teamed up with us a while back." Syrus admitted.
"Only because he didn't have any other option. I doubt he's on our side." Chie pointed out.
"Well he, and Jessica went off somewhere." Bastion told them, "Might be playing the Lone Wolf thing."
They nodded at that.
"So what now, we all need to duel at least once today." Rise pointed out.
"I know. And no one has challenged me yet." Jaden groaned.
"Your the best Duelist Jay." Syrus pointed out.
"He's not the best." Rise mentioned.
"Well come on. Like Jaden said we can duel against the Society's captured Duelists." Naoto told them.
The group all nodded.
Meanwhile...
Dr. Crowler had walked to the docks before pausing. "I suppose... I should pay him a visit at least. For both of their sakes."
"Vellian!" a voice called as a meowing caught his attention.
Dr. Crowler's eyes widened as he turned. "That ca... no, Pharaoh. I was about to go see you and... wait how are you speaking?"
A golden orb was being chased by Pharaoh who was trying to catch it before it stated, "Not now Pharaoh."
The orb stopped in front of Dr. Crowler before saying, "Vellian, do you remember me?"
"That voice... Lyman?" Dr. Crowler asked in shock before taking a nervous step back. "You're dead, what is this?"
"My Spirit after Syrus defeated me was swallowed by Pharaoh." the orb now known as Banner told him, "His breath reeks of fish I'll tell you that! But more on that later you can't leave the island. Yuzu, and Belowski needs our aid."
"Sheppard said the same thing, but it's hopeless." Dr. Crowler sighed. "They're under his control now and if Chazz's match with Jasmine is any indication they're too skilled for a washed up teacher like me. I failed everyone Lyman... just like I always have."
"Then prove them wrong." Banner stated with a stern tone that surprised Dr. Crowler, "Your sister needs her older brother, and her husband, and Belowski needs his uncle, and father. It would risk being a part of the Society of Light but it's a risk we gotta take. Yuzu told me before you would set her straight if something happens, and now's the time to do it, and I have a plan."
Dr. Crowler looked shocked before closing his eyes. "That's true, alright Banner... I'm listening."
"Here's what we're gonna do." Banner started to tell him the plan.
