'Fools.' Syrus thought, watching the Cyber Kraken reel in the Thunder Giant. 'Once this hero is destroyed, Arliss will have to defend his partner. Little does he realize that my Cyber Hound can't damage a player with no monsters, meaning I'll be able to burn all the cards in his graveyard away, slowly but surely, until he has nothing left to defend himself! And if he doesn't, he will loss the only card in his hand. My luck has been running so strong, that stupid Stealth card will not be able to stop my Hound! This game is mine!'
"Syrus, call off the attack you fool!" Dark Jaden yelled. "My white half is mine to deal with…alone."
"Screw you Master, I am finishing this!" Syrus shouted. His joy was short lived, as the Thunder Giant suddenly disappeared.
"Maybe you should have listened to him." Jaden said. "I've activated a spell card: Defusion! It splits up my Thunder Giant back into Sparkman and Clayman, negating your attack!"
Syrus glared at Jaden. "Little matter. I can still destroy your Clayman with my Cyber Hound!"
Jaden grinned. "I was hoping you'd do that. I'll activate my trap card: Clay Slam! It allows me to add my Clayman's defense to his attack when another monster does battle with him. So Syrus, say goodbye to your Cyber Hound!"
Clayman caught the Cyber Hound by one of its heads, wrapping the beast's neck in a choke hound. The cyber beast roared as it tried to break free, only for Clayman to slam it to the ground and shatter it into pieces. (Syrus-2000)
Dark Jaden blew a gasket.
"YOU IDIOT! I TOLD YOU TO FOCUS ON THE MAGE! THE MAGE! ARE YOU TRULY THAT STUPID?!?"
"At least I'm trying to win!" Syrus countered. "Your goody goody self still has all his lifepoints!"
"I am setting him up! Something you still have failed to learn!" Dark Jaden shook his head. "The powers of darkness at your fingers, your brother's deck, the Cyber beasts that I secured…and you still remain the stupid little brat you were when I first found you!"
Syrus grit his teeth. "I am nothing like the boy you found that day."
"Somehow I doubt that." Dark Jaden said, turning to Jaden. "Your turn."
Jaden nodded, a smile breaking out on his face. "Alright, time to bring this game to the next level. First, I will activate Miracle Fusion, fusing the Burstintrix and Avian in my graveyard into the Flame Wingman!" On Jaden's side of the field, his very first fusion hero appeared. "But that's not all. I activate Polymerization, fusing my Sparkman and my Flame Wingman to summon the Elemental Hero Shining Flare Wingman!"
ON Jaden's side of the field, the two heroes merged, forming the white armored hero of light. The hero's wings raised up as it absorbed the power of the Flame Wingman and the Sparkman. Mirror Wing shrank back, the energy burning his flesh.
"Now then, allow me to help out some!" Arliss said. "Jaden, I know this will cause your monster a bit of pain, but I think it be worth it to defeat that overgrown hand mirror, wouldn't you say?"
"Do it Arliss!" Jaden exclaimed.
"I activate Ninjitsu Art of Sealin'!" The trap card flipped up, revealing the Grandmaster Ninja Sasuke throwing a small parchment onto the Marauding Captain's head. "By discarding one card, I negate all card effects till your next turn! So your Mirror Wing…his wings have been clipped!"
The Shadow Hero let out a cry as both his wings shattered, leaving his shield in pieces. The depowered Flare Wingman leapt into the air, preparing its attack. Mirror Wing Held up its arm in a vain attempt to shield itself as the Flare Wingman struck him. Dark Jaden cried out as he was sent flying, landing in the mount with a splash. As he emerged, the Clayman struck, pounding Dark Jaden once more. (Dark Jaden-200)
Syrus looked back at his Master as Jaden shifted his Clayman to defense. "And I am the pathetic one, Master?"
Dark Jaden merely pulled himself from the moat, shaking his cards dry. "I will expect you to defend me, Syrus." Dark Jaden said, ending his turn. Syrus merely gave him a curt nod.
Arliss drew his next card, looking at Syrus. "Yes, Syrus, defend your Master. Like a good little boy."
"See, the mage knows what is proper, Syrus."
"He was being sarcastic, Master." Syrus ground out.
"No, I wasn't." Arliss added with a grin. "I was telling you to be a good puppet and do exactly what Master Jaden says."
"See!"
"HE'S BEING SARCASTIC!"
Arliss looked over at Dark Jaden. "Hmmm…can't control him, can you?"
"I can…"
"Can we get back to the dueling?" Jaden whined.
Arliss shrugged. "Up to Mr. Syrus."
Syrus drew his next card, a grin slowly forming on his face. "I think it is time I ended this duel."
Dark Jaden looked over at the Shadow Knight. "You've drawn it?"
"Yes."
"What is it?" Jaden asked.
"The card that will end this duel, and show both you pathetic fools the true power of the Shadow Knights. I activate Overload Fusion!"
As he spoke the words, the ground began to tremble underneath their feet. Jaden nearly toppled back onto his butt, Arliss managing to keep his balance as the earth rolled about. Dark Jade watched on as Syrus' eyes began to glow, summoning his ultimate monster
"I will now sacrifice my Cyber Hound, along with my Cyber Phoenix, Cyber Steed and Cyber Kraken, to summon my greatest beast. Behold, the Cyber Titan!"
The earth ripped apart as the giant burst from his rocky prison, rising onto the field. His hands dug into the soil, making great trenches as it rose higher and higher, shaking dirt from its form. The Titan towered over the duelists, Arliss only coming up to its ankle. The giant was made up of the four cyber monsters used to bring it forth: its body was the cyber hound, arms made up of the two side heads. The main head was sunken into its chest, jaw open. Its legs were the Cyber Steed, cloven and tearing up the dueling field. Upon it's back the Cyber Phoenix was sunken in. And its head was the Kraken, it's tentacles forming a long beard. The entire monster was silver, plated with metal, and it let out a roar that shook the fortress. (4000/3000)
"We're going ta need a bigger boat." Arliss muttered.
"Behold my great beast! The mighty Cyber Titan! Unable to be destroyed by card effects, he is able to shift all those that stand in his way into attack mode, shattering them into bits beneath his fists. None can stand in his way! Cyber Titan!" The creature let out a bellow. "Destroy the Shining Flare Wingman!"
The giant strode forward, his footfalls causing the ground he walked on to roll and tremble. The elemental hero looked up, watching as the titan came towards him, fist raised into the air. With a roar, the monster brought his giant hand down upon the light hero, shattering it with ease. (Jaden-2500)
"That, Master Jaden, is how you deal with an opponent."
"No." Arliss mocked. "That was how a coward avoids attacking their opponent: By goin' after someone else."
Dark Jaden nodded. "Yes, you pathetic fool! You could have finished that pretender, but you couldn't even do that!"
"You think I could have gotten through his defenses?!?" Syrus shouted. "He would have saved his Strike Ninja, and I would have wasted an attack."
"Syrus!"
"NO!" The Shadow Knight shouted, pointing a finger right at Dark Jaden, his eyes narrowed. "I am done with your orders. I challenge you, Master Jaden, for control of the Shadow Knights, the moment this duel is done! And until then, I am not your puppet. I am dueling for my own enjoyment." He turned back to Arliss and Jaden. "My next turn, my Cyber Titan will show you both his true strength!"
Jaden drew his next card, frowning. 'This will do me no good…when the Cyber Titan attacks next turn, he will be able to shift my Clayman into attack mode and finish me off. And I have nothing in my hand or on the field that can help me.' He paused, looking at Arliss. 'But he just might. I can't forget, in a tag duel, you only know half the story. I need to hope Arliss can pull out something that will finish off the Titan.'
"Ending your turn?" Dark Jaden asked. "While my dear Syrus might be an idiot beyond repair, his Titan is still a force to be feared. Your partner's Sealing trap is gone, leaving the Cyber Titan free to attack next turn." The Dark Hunter laughed. "I will set one monster on my side of the field, along with this card, and end my turn."
Arliss drew a card. "Is it my turn, boys?" He asked. "I'm glad, because this is when I finish off your little monster, Mr. Syrus." Arliss held up the two cards in his hand. "It is time to finish you off, and I'll be startin' with your Titan!" The magic card Arliss held flashed. "I activate Swords of Concealing Darkness!"
As he cried out, the sky above the duelists grew dark, the elemental field Arliss had created becoming littered with shadows. The Rare Hunter smirked as a giant grinning skull appeared from the sky, letting fall several shadowy swords. The blades struck the Titan, causing the cyber monster to bellow in pain, stumbling back. Before everyone's eyes, the Cyber Titan transformed into a defense card, locked in place by the concealing swords.
"My Titan!" Syrus cried out. "How…his power protects him from spells!"
"It protects him from bein' destroyed, not from being affected. My Swords will keep your Titan locked up in place, unable to attack for two turns." Arliss held up another card. "But now, it's time to bring this game to its final level! I will now sacrifice my Strike Ninja and merge it with myself!"
"WHAT?!?!" Both Jadens and Syrus asked in shock.
&&&
"Do you love him?"
Alexis looked over at Arlen. The Guardian strolled through the forest, his entire body screaming confidence. His eyes never left the path in front of him as he walked. But Alexis could tell, he was total in tune with her and anything she said.
"Of course. He's my life."
"Are you in love with him, though?"
"Same thing."
"Not at all. You can love someone and hate them at the same time. I love my mother, yet I would kill her in a second. But I am in love with my Mayday, and if anyone ever touched her, they would die." He shrugged. "The question is, Lexie, do you know what love is?"
Alexis frowned, continuing to walk. "Jaden opened my eyes, he taught me about the world."
"He beats you, he degrades you…"
"That's just is way."
"Do you love your child?" Arlen asked suddenly.
Alexis frowned, sending a glare at the man. "With all my heart…and I could never hurt my baby."
"You think your Jaden loves the baby? Do you think he couldn't live without it." Arlen stopped suddenly, grabbing her shoulders. "You say my brother saved you when Jaden tried to kick you in the stomach…I've seen that happen before, and lost a sister because of it! Do you believe your Jaden won't turn on your baby…won't use it for his own gain and hit it like he hits you…hurt it like he hurts you?"
Alexis squeezed her eyes shut. Arlen was speaking of all her doubts, her fears, the silent terrors that plagued her at night when she laid next to her lover and listened to the wicked whispered that haunted her.
"I don't know…" She whimpered.
"Then ask yourself…if you love this child…can you honestly let your Jaden near it…can he be allowed to be a father?"
&&&
The Strike Ninja and Arliss began to glow, both of their images flickering in and out. The sky all around them filled with electricity, crackling and striking down on the dueling field. Suddenly, the ninja and the hunter's formed collided, merging into one creature, as if someone had used a polymerization upon them.
When the energy from the transformation was complete, on the field stood Arliss, only different. His coat was now black, with accents of red. He wore a long red piece of silk around his neck, fluttering in the breeze. Arliss wore under his coat the Strike Ninja's black uniform, along with armor upon his chest, knees, and shoulders. His sandy brown hair billowed slightly. He wore the Strike Ninja's face mask, but his mouth was clear of any armor, revealing his trademark smirk.
"His Ka and him have merged." Dark Jaden whispered in shock. "But…that power is suppose to be a myth!"
"Think again." Arliss said. "Behold: The Ninja Hunter! A fusion between me and any of my ninjas results in my taking my most powerful form." He laughed, cracking his knuckles. (2400/1500)
His reached back, pulling a large throwing star the size of his chest from his coat, a long chain connected to it. He spun his weapon a few times before throwing it into the air. The weapon struck a cloud and held tight. Giving it a tug, his image shuddered.
"I will now activate the special effect of the Ninja Hunter: The Final Hunt!" His image flashed, and a ghostly form of the Ninja hunter pulled away from Arliss, climbing the chain into the clouds. "This will be your last turn, Syrus. When I return to my Ninja Hunter form next turn, you will be done, boy." Arliss stepped back into his duelist position. "Your move."
Syrus chuckled. He knew not what his Master did, that to merge with a Ka meant a duelist, a shadow mage, was at their most powerful. "You think I fear your little trick there? A ruse, that's what I call it. I will set this card, and warn you: Go against my Titan, and he will smite you and any monster you lay before him."
Jaden drew his next card and nodded. 'Alright, time to get back into this game!' He looked up at his dark counterpart, his face full of determination. "Ok! I'll start my activating this spell card: False Hero. It allows me to special summon one Elemental Hero from my deck to the field: My Bubbleman!" As he spoke, the blue armored hero appeared. "Only, I can't attack with him. But that's ok, because I plan to use him for something else: Namely, I am going to sacrifice him and my Clayman to summon Elemental Hero Bladedge!" The two monsters glowed, transforming into the golden blade-wielding hero. "And when your monster is weaker then my hero, you take damage, meaning that this is the end of your duel! Bladedge, slice and dice attack!"
Dark Jaden watched as the golden hero powered up, racing right towards him with blades ready. However, Dark Jaden was ready.
"I activate this card: Shadow Loan. When you declare a battle, I can activate one card that is facedown on the field…and I chose Syrus' face down card!" Dark Jaden grinned as the trap was revealed. "Holding out on me, Sy? You will need to be taught just how wrong it is to disobey your master. But as it is, your trap will suit me fine. For you see, this is the Cyber Barrier card. When activate, it prevents all non-machine monsters from attacking, and if you do attack, your attack is negated, your monster destroyed, and you lose 500 life points!"
Jaden cried out as his monster hit the barrier, sending energy right back at him while the e-hero shattered. (Jaden-2000)
"Oh, and you worked so hard to make that monster." Dark Jaden said with mock sincerity. "A pity…truly, it is." The Shadow Knight laughed. "I'm sorry, I just couldn't pretend anymore. The look on your face right now is priceless."
"Would you hurry up? I want to defeat Syrus right now!" Arliss snarked.
Dark Jaden sneered. "Very well. I will activate Polymerization, fusing the Elemental Hero Burstinatrix on my field with the Sparkman I just drew to summon my Shadow Hero Atomica to the field!" The two monsters exploded, transforming into the new Shadow Hero. The creature looked like Burstintrix, wearing Sparkman's armor. Only now, the blue pieces were colored blood red, and a small Geiger Counter was mounted in the armor's chestplate. The female hero laughed as she began to glow, gathering energy to her. "Every turn, my Atomica will build up energy…1000 points worth." As he spoke, the needle on the counter moved to the right. "Now, my monster, she is an unstable one. If she battles with a monster, the armor containing her power will shatter, destroying her. And when she is destroyed, she will blow up, dealing all her built up damage points to my opponent.
"On my next turn, my monster will gain another 1000 attack points. And she will continue to take on more energy, until I have enough to wipe both of you out. And as long as the Cyber Barrier holds, you will not be able to stop me in time. By my next turn, it will be too late, and your doom sealed!" Dark Jaden threw back his head and laughed. "This is the end of you both!"(Atomica- 2300/1700)
Arliss raised an eyebrow. "It seems to me that it is the end of a lot of things. The end of the duel, the end of your reign…maybe even the end of Jaden here. But the end of me? Oh no, boy. I'll outlive you all." He paused. "But first, the end of Syrus." He pointed a finger at the Shadow Knight. "Your turn is up…"
As he spoke, his image flickered again, and as the Rare Hunter stepped forward, he transformed once more. The armor of the Strike Ninja joined onto him, and as he neared the center of the field…the Ninja Hunter was reborn.
"…I activate the Ninja Hunter's special effect, The Final Hunt, once more." He twirled his giant throwing star. "When my Ninja Hunter left the field, his effect was activated. You see, my Hunter spent his time away scouting the field, examining everything…and finding the perfect opening." Arliss leapt into the air, landing on the Cyber Titan's defense position card. "And where the best place to attack you directly would be!"
Syrus laughed as Arliss/Ninja Hunter threw his weapon. "The Cyber Barrier…"
"Only stops battle damage. This is effect damage…something you are very weak too!"
The Shadow Knight's eyes went wide as the large chained star flew at him, striking his and sending him flying to the ground. The point of the star embedded itself in his sternum, leaving Syrus gasping as his blood trickled onto the ground. Arliss gave the chain a tug, removing it from the Knight's body, and stepped back to his side of the field. As he walked back, the Cyber Titan appeared, ghostly and seemingly made of a fog, bellowing in rage as it crumbled. Jaden watched as Arliss' image suddenly became overlined with another…that of Zane Trusdale. The Titan let out a final roar as a phantom Cyber Dragon shattered it, before it and its master disappeared.
"That…" Arliss said. "…was for your brother." (Syrus-0000)
"The fool." Dark Jaden muttered. "I should have chosen another one of the Knights…maybe they would have proven a better ally." The Master of the Knights turned back to his opponents. "But no matter. I can handle the two of you fine enough."
Arliss nodded towards Jaden. "I got mine, boy. You finish yourself."
Jaden nodded, drawing what could be his final card…and closed his eyes. "No e-hero I place on the field can help me…so I set one card and end my turn."
Dark Jaden laughed, not even bothering to look at the card he'd drawn. "So you accept death…a wise choice! Maybe you aren't as brainless as I expected. Atomica…reward the fool. Attack directly!"
"I defend Jaden!" Arliss shouted, leaping in front of his partner. He used his weapon as a shield, blocking the punch from the Shadow Hero. She grinned, her armor beginning to crack as radioactive energy poured from her. Arliss grit his teeth together ready for the blast…
"I activate the trap card Mirror Gate!"
Dark Jaden froze, his smile falling from his face.
"no…"
Jaden grinned. "oh yea. Mirror Gate switches control of our monsters. So you get Arliss' Ninja Hunter, and I get your Atomica!" As he spoke the two warriors switched places on the field, the Ninja Hunter/Arliss driving Jaden's new Atomica back. "Told you none of my heroes could beat you. But I learned long ago, to defeat an enemy you have to turn their power against them. Atomica, I activate your effect!"
Arliss grinned as he leapt away. "And you don't need me anymore…."
"NO!" Dark Jaden screamed. "I will not allow this!" He began to summon a shield of dark energy. "Time to put this child's game to an end, and show you both the true power of darkness!" He summoned a dark shadow orb, powering it up with all his rage and malice. "You really thought I would let you win? That you could take what was mine? I will kill you, take back my diary, and then find that bitch Alexis, and show her my power."
"You want darkness?" A new voice called out. Dark Jaden whipped around…
…just as Arlen's Shadow Saber cleaved his right arm from his shoulder.
"There is your darkness." Alexis said, holding the Shadow Saber as Arlen stood on, watching. "And Jaden…I think we should see other people." She lashed out again, cutting his left leg off from the knee.
"And don't forget the Shadow Hero!" Arliss said, his own eyes flashing as he powered up Jaden's monster. "ATTACK!"
Atomica exploded, her blast racing across the field and striking Dark Jaden head on. The Master of the Shadow Knights screamed as his body was assaulted by wave after wave of atomic energy, burning his skin and boiling his blood. Alexis looked on, her face cold as she watched her lover, her maker, being burned alive.
With a final cry, Dark Jaden collapsed, his body smoking slightly as he laid prone on the field. His counterpart stared on in horror as the cards disappeared, the field now bare save the two bodies of the Shadow Knights.
Arliss walked over to Dark Jaden, kicking him in the gut, then shaking some of the burned flesh that stuck to his boot. "That's what you get for &ing with me." He turned to Arlen. "Hello there."
"Hi yourself…you boys ready to go home?"
&&&
"You sure about this Professor Milo?"
Arlen nodded, wanting to kick Jaden right in the ass. "Positive. This will send you back in a wink. Once you are there, simply head back to your dorm. I'll seal the gateway and make sure everything is settled."
Jaden nodded, walking towards the thing. "And you're sure…"
Arliss growled. He gave Jaden a shove, sending the boy toppling through the vortex. He looked back and the two and shrugged. "The boy was annoying me."
"Quite." Arlen raised an eyebrow as Arliss took out Marik's Diary. "What are you doin' with that?"
Arliss flicked his fingers, making the diary fade. "Sending it to a friend." He glanced over at Alexis. "You mind if me and my brother talk?"
"Oh…go ahead." Alexis said, taking a few steps back. "You…will say goodbye, right?"
Arliss smiled. "Of course, darlin'." He and Arlen stepped away from the vortex, the elder of the Lockeharts wondering what the younger could want. Once they were out of earshot, Arliss turned to his brother, his voice soft. "We need to help her." He whispered.
"Agreed. Though, with her Jaden taken out of commission…"
"That just makes things worse, Arlen." Arliss hissed. "At least she could depend on his protection…we've destroyed all the Knights. She is the last one, save wherever Bastion ran off too. You really think people will let her rest in peace?" He shook his head sadly. "She will be hunted for the rest of her days, thanks to the crimes of Jaden and the Shadow Knights. And if anyone learns about her child…"
"Then what do you suggest?" Arlen asked. "Send her to a safe house? Change her identity…"
"I don't know!" Arliss cried out. Arlen sighed, lowering his head, his brain hurting from all of this. "We have to help her…she's Lexie."
"She isn't our sister, Arliss…"
Arliss grabbed his brother's hand. "Alex…" Arlen's head snapped up, locking his gaze with his brothers. The younger of the Lockeharts looked so weak…so vulnerable. "Alex…" He whispered, sounding like a lost little boy, "…she's Lexie. Please…we have to help her."
&&&
Elsewhere…"Alex! Arnold! Sam! Vanessa! Supper!"
"coming Mrs. Fox!" Arnold Milo called out, wiping his brow with a hankie. "We just have one more board to put in."
Alex Milo and Samantha Ciro each held an end of a 2by4, Vanessa Fox and Arnold Milo working together to nail it in place. Once they were finished, to four of them took a step back, admiring the fence.
"No cows escapin' that." Alex said with a nod. He turned to his girlfriend, wrapping and arm around her waist. "Come on, let's go eat. Maybe then we go into town, see if there is something fun to do."
"Mmm…rather spend the night with you…" Samantha said, cuddling up to him.
Vanessa watched all this with a slight smile, resisting the urge to chuckle as Arnold blushed. 2 years ago, these three teens had come to the Fox family farm, looking for a place to stay as the hitched across the country. How two southern boys and a former Greek heiress got together, she never knew, but they had been a breath of fresh air. After a few days of helping Vanessa's father with the chores, the Foxes and offered them a place to stay, and the 3 hadn't left since. Alex and Arnold shared the spare room, and Samantha bunked with Vanessa. It was tight…but the Foxes couldn't imagine not having the 3 teens living there.
"Hey Arnold, package for you!" Mr. Fox shouted as they headed towards the house.
Arnold frowned. "Who would send me something?"
"Don't know…looks like a book."
"A book?" Arnold said. He took the small leather bound item from Vanessa's father, looking it over. "The…Diary of Marik Ishtar…"
&&&
The Normal World"Hello there kiddies."
"ARLEN!" Mayday cried out, leaping out of her chair and into her husband's arms. Arlen cried out, stumbling back as Mayday assaulted him, peppering his face with kisses. "Don't ever leave again!"
"Ok, darlin', ok!" Arlen laughed. "If I knew you would be like this every time I left…"
Mayday ground her lips into his. "mmmm…oh yea…baby has missed her hubby."
"He was gone for a day." Hayden said with a groan. "Let the boy up, would ya lass?"
Cassandra chuckled. "Jealous."
"…only a little." Hayden muttered.
Dhmitri headed over to his mentor, leaning against the wall as Mayday continued to run her fingers along Arlen's chest. "Welcome back Professor. Do anything interesting?"
"Got to have sex with Padme and Wonder Woman."
Mayday paused. "And the Golden Girls?"
"Remain golden. Didn't get to see them one lick."
"One lick I'm sure." Mayday muttered. "Next time you go jumping through words, I'm coming. I have my eye on Aragon."
"Arlen?" Nessa said, walking down the stairs. "Arlen!" She exclaimed, running towards him and giving him a hug. "Did you…"
"I found him."
Nessa let out a relief-filled laugh. "Thank God…now, where is he…where is my fiancé."
"I'm comin'!" Arliss shouted from outside. "Just tying up a loose end."
"And that would be…" Nessa asked, only to freeze in the doorway as Arliss entered.
"Me." Dark Alexis said with a half smile.
Arliss grinned. "Boys and girls…meet the newest member of the family…me and Arlen's baby sister Lexie Lockehart."
…
Finally, Hayden managed to speak.
"Are we talking about the lass, or the babe she's carrying?"
Arliss shrugged. "The girl. The child of Jaden Yuki is just a bonus."
"WHAT?!?" The Rare Hunters cried out.
Arlen grabbed Mayday's hand. "You decided to bring her, so you get to explain this!" He pulled Mayday up the stairs. "I have a wife to pleasure several times."
"But I want to hear the storyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!" Mayday cried out as she was dragged away.
Lexie looked around as the Rare Hunters began to hit Arliss up with questions. She ran a hand over her stomach, smiling as she felt the baby kick. 'yea…I like them too.' She thought as Arliss continued to try and deflect some questions.
And now the official trailer for G/X: Hunters- Season 2A soft music begins to play as we see the duelist academy late at night. As the camera moves in towards the forest, All-American Rejects, "It Ends Tonight" begins to play

We cut to Hayden and Cassandra walking through the Academy, staring at all the members of the White Association that slowly begin to surround them.
A
falling star
Least I fall alone.
I can't explain what you can't
explain.
You're
finding things that you didn't know
I look at you with such
disdain
Their heads snap as they hear a shout, and the two push past some whited out students…

Just
a little insight won't make this right
It's too late to fight
