Chapter 10
It was a new day at Duel Academy, as Crowler and Atticus moaned as they regained consciousness. They noticed Yusuke and Jaden looking at them, with smiles, "Yusuke…Jaden…" Atticus groaned as he sat up, slowly.
Crowler placed his head onto his head, groaned, "What in the world happened to me? I've got the most irritating headache." Crowler looked at Yusuke and Jaden and did a double, "Okay you two, what's with the black uniforms?" he asked.
Jaden pointed at Crowler, "What's with that white uniform, Dr. C.?"
Crowler looked down and was horrified, "Good heavens!" he squeaked as he jumped onto his feet and looked at his white clothes, "What in the world am I wearing!?"
"You took the words out of my mouth," Atticus said, looking at his white uniform, "Last I checked, Keiko used her Infernal Flame Emperor equipped with White Veil to beat me, other then that, I don't remember a damn thing."
"That's the same thing," Crowler said, "Sartorius defeated me as well and I don't even remember anything afterwards."
"Well, let me refresh what's going on," Botan said, as she, Keiko, Jasmine and Mindy walked inside the cafeteria and tables, where Crowler and Atticus lied, "Sartorius and his Society of Light have taken over 90 percent of Duel Academy."
"Let me guess," Atticus said, "I helped right?"
"Bingo!" Botan said, pointing at the eldest Rhodes sibling, "But any bad things you've done while brainwashed doesn't mean you have to blame yourself, Atticus."
Atticus jumped off the table, "My sister and cousin are still with that freak, Sartorius!" he declared, "I've got to save them!"
"Hold on!" Botan said, stopping Atticus, "You won't be able to face the Society of Light as the way you are. In order to show the Society of Light that we mean business that they'll be shut down is that we need the dark power of Nightshroud."
"What?" Atticus said.
"Nightshroud?" Yusuke and Jaden gawked.
"Botan, are you out of your mind?!" Atticus gawked, "Do you realize what will happen if I turn back into that guy, again?"
"Yes," Botan dug from her pocket a necklace and gave it to Atticus. This necklace was black with a picture of a dark angel with wild hair, "This charm allows you to remain in control, while you're Nightshroud. You'll have Nightshroud's power, but this time you won't lose your mind in the shadows."
"Cool!" Atticus said, putting the necklace onto his neck.
"Now, since I'm back to me senses," Crowler said, "I think it's time for you all to give my power…"
"Sorry Crowler, we can't do that now," Jaden said, with gleeful smile.
"What?" Crowler glared at Jaden, "Look here you Slifer Slacker, if you…"
"It's in the contact," Yusuke said, showing Crowler the document, "We have power over the school, until Shepherd comes back."
"What?!" Crowler screamed
"That's right," Jaden said, "Besides, it's kinda your fault that you didn't do anything, while the Society of Light was growing in power or did horrible things to anyone and disrespected you and Bonaparte."
"Let's not forget, who were the two people who tried to trash the Slifer Dorm?" Keiko asked, in stern voice
Crowler gulped and played with his fingers, "Well…" and remembered something, "Yeah, but that was mainly Bonaparte's idea and I help you two to keep it standing!"
"Yeah, but who didn't stop the Society of Light from bullying everyone in the every dorm to duel and join them?" Jasmine asked, glaring at Crowler.
"Yeah, but…" Crowler was now sweating and gulped.
"And don't forget during the Domino City trip, who didn't punish the Society of Light for kidnapping Syrus and Hassleberry?" Keiko asked, glaring at Crowler.
"And who didn't do a thing, when I was forced into dueling one of those geeks, just because Syrus was tied to the top of Duel Academy and if I didn't accept the challenge, he'll be dropped to his doom!" Jaden asked, glaring at Crowler
"The same thing happened to me!" Yusuke yelled, glaring at Crowler, "Face it, Crowler. You had your chance of doing something about the Society of Light's actions, but you didn't so we just have to keep the power till Shepherd comes back."
Crowler groaned, thinking why he had to sign that contact, "Okay you kids win…" he said.
"Good!" Yusuke said, putting a smile on his face
(In the arena)
"And they say I can't duel all three duelists at once!" Chazz (C: 3900) goaded, as he was dueling three white male students who were down to the 1000 Life Points, "I'm the Chazz!"
Chazz and the three white male students were dueling with shackles and right now, the three white students were panting and felt like the where going to collapse from the pain and fatigue, "Alright, guys know what time is!" Chazz declared, raising his right index finger.
"Time to Chazz it up!" Jade, Syrus, Hassleberry, Yukina, Kari and Kagome cheered.
"Oh yeah!" Chazz draws his next card, "Perfect, I activate Graceful Charity, now I can draw three cards as long as I send two cards the graveyard as payment!" Chazz draws three cards and knew what to do, "First, I'll toss out Chthonian Polymer and then I'll toss out Ojamagic!" Chazz sends the two cards to his graveyard, "Now since I've discarded Ojamagic, the three Ojama Brother are added to my hand! Come on out, you freaks!"
The Ojama brothers appeared, "You rang, Boss!" they said.
Chazz had the three Ojama cards in his hand, "Next, I'll play Ojama Ride, now I summon three powerful machines to the field, but there's a price, I have to send the three Stooges packing!"
"Oh no! Not again!" the Ojama brothers wailed as they are sent to Chazz's graveyard, "Now, I summon X-Head Cannon (Atk: 1800), Y-Dragon Head (Atk: 1500) and Z-Metal Tank (Atk: 1500) to the field!" just then, Chazz's three machine monsters appeared, "Now you geeks, it's time for you three dorks, to go bye-bye! Now my monsters attack!"
All of Chazz's monsters blast their attacks at the three white students. The students screamed as the red electricity ripped through the tips of the fingers and their toes and their points decreased to zero. As the electricity subsided, the white students fell limp to the ground and rendered unconscious.
(With Zane)
"Now Cyber End Dragon, finish this loser off with Super Strident Blast!" Zane (Z: 4000) ordered his dragon. Cyber End Dragon sends its ferocious blast at a white male student. As the blast hits, the student howled in pain as the electricity from his shackles ripped through every part of his body and his Life Points hit zero. The student was rendered unconscious.
(With Sakura)
Sakura had 3700 Life Points, while two other female white students that she was dueling had 200 Life Points. The three girls were dueling with shackles and the white student was having a hard time standing from the shocks to her body. Neither duelists had no monsters out, but Sakura had two face-down cards.
"Okay freak, my move!" the one white student drew her card and looked at it, "I summon Amazoness Paladin (Atk: 1700) in attack mode!"
"I knew that you'll play that, which is why I'll activate these facedown cards, Ring of Destruction and Ring of Defense!" Sakura's face-down cards were opened and the auto-kill ring was attached to Paladin's neck and the four shielded ring was placed in front of Sakura, "Now your monster is destroyed and you take damage equal to your Paladin's attack points."
"No!" the white students yelled as Sakura's ring had self-detonated and took Paladin. The white students screamed in pain as the red electricity ripped through every part of their bodies and their Life Points dropped to zero. The girls dropped to the ground, losing conscious.
(With Sasuke)
Sasuke was starting his duel with two male white students, "Let's Duel!"
"I'll start!" Sasuke draws his card, "I summon Red-Eyes Black Chick in attack mode and sacrifice him for Red-Eyes Black Dragon!" the black dragon rose from the blaze of dark fire and roared (Atk: 2400), "Next, I'll play Infernal Fire Blast, now you take damage equal to Red-Eyes's attack! Yo Red Eyes, show this loser number one, what you got!"
Red-Eyes Black Dragon fires a sphere of black and violet energy at the white student on the left, it slams into him. The white student screams as the electricity rips through his body as he loses 2400 life-points in the process. (W1: 1600) Sasuke puts one card more in the spell/trap slots and says, "Next, I'll play Mischief of the Time Goddess, now I get to attack again!" Sasuke declared with a dark smile, "Red Eyes attack loser number two, Infernal Fire Blast!"
Red-Eyes fire another blast at the other white student and hit him, hard. The student screams as he feels the electricity hitting every course of his body and his Life Points dropped (W2: 1600).
"But wait," Sasuke sneered, "I'm not done with you dorks yet, I'll activate Trap Booster, now by sending one trap card from my hand. I can activate Ring of Destruction and that's not all, I'll activate Ring of Defense as well!"
Sasuke's auto-kill ring is placed onto his dragon's neck and exploded taking Red-Eyes with it. The two white students screamed as red electricity is ripped through their bodies and their points going straight to zero. The white students fell on the ground.
(With Naruto and Hinata)
Naruto and Hinata both had 2000 Life Points together and the two white duelists had only 5000 points left and neither of them had any monsters out, but Hinata had a facedown out. Plus it was Naruto's turn, "All right, watch this!" Naruto draws his card and looks at it, "Perfect, I play two copies of Fiend Sanctity. Now I get two tokens (Atk: 0000) x2, now I'll sacrifice them to summon Kyubi the Nine-Tailed Fox in attack mode!"
In a flash of orange fire, a monster similar to Naruto's nine-tailed fox appears and gave a loud roar (Atk: 4500), "To add with Naruto's monster's attack," Hinata presses a button to her disc, "I activate Rush Recklessly to increase the Nine-Tailed Fox's power by 700 points!" (Atk: 5200)
"Thanks Hinata!" Naruto said, making the girl blush, "Now Kyubi, attack them directly and this end this duel!"
Kyubi sends a blast from its mouth and hits the white students hard as their life points went down to zero and they wailed in pain from the shocks from their shackles. The white students fell on the ground.
(With the Suzumiya twins)
"Now Harpie Lady 1, attack now!" Eliza commanded, as her monster went and slashes the white female student that she was dueling. The white student's fate was the same as her comrades.
"Now Axe Raider and Battle Ox, attack!" Darren commanded as his monster made quick work of the male white student as he met the same fate as his comrades.
By the late afternoon, the Society of Light has already lost a quarter of its remaining members.
(White Dorm)
Sartorius banged his fist on the table, in anger, scaring Alexis, Jordan, who was hiding behind his cousin, Bastion and Ryoko, "Those wretches!" Sartorius snarled, clenching his fists, "So far, we've lost a quarter of our members to the non-believers and what's worse is that they have the satellite keys!"
Bastion steps forward, "Sir, is there anything we can do to help?" he asked.
Sartorius looked at Bastion, "No, Mr. Misawa there isn't," he said. "You all may leave."
They bowed and walked out of the room, "I've never seen Master Sartorius so mad before," Jordan said.
"That's because the satellite keys are with Yusuke, Jaden and the others," Alexis said, "That's a good enough reason to get mad. Though, I'm curious to know about the dark power of the non-believers."
"Yes, I've been wondering that myself," Bastion said, "My guess is to find out, who the non-believers next target is."
"Let's go!" Ryoko said.
(Dueling Arena)
"Ancient Gear Golem, attack Mechanized Melee!" Crowler (C: 100) declared, as his golem slammed its fist to Bonaparte, end the duel, as Bonaparte met the same fate as the other Society members.
Crowler, who's now dressed in his usual uniform, walked towards the limp form of the former Vice Chancellor, 'Rest for now, Bonaparte,' he thought
(Slifer Red Dorm)
Alexis, Jordan, Bastion and Ryoko arrived at the Slifer Dorm, right be the bottom, "Why did I ever agree of coming with you guys!?" Jordan wailed.
"Quit your whining, already," Alexis hissed, glaring at Jordan, "If we're going to get some information that…"
Just then, a wave of water was splash of water hits the four SOL members, "What the hell!" Bastion yelled, "I'm wet!" Ryoko yelled, while annoyed.
"Okay, who's the wise guy?" Jordan asked
Alexis, herself, had a pretty good idea who was the wise guy, because one time she did it too, as her assumption was correct when a bucket was slammed onto her head.
Alexis lifted the bucket to see the piercing brown eyes of Jaden, staring at her, "Alexis, what the hell!" he yelled, "Spying on us! I never knew that you of all people who stoop that low!"
The SOL members spotted Chazz and Keiko walking behind Jaden, "What are you freaks doing here?" Chazz sneered.
"Spying, that's what," Jaden snarled and smirked, "Oh and if you posers are thinking about escaping," Jaden pointed behind the SOL members as the turned to see Hiei and Inuyasha behind them, "We've got you losers surrounded!" Chazz said.
"I bet that losing a quarter of your members got you Society Geeks baffled, huh?" Keiko sneered.
"Shut up!" Alexis yelled.
"What are you gonna do about?" Chazz sneered. "Call your precious Light to beat us up? Oh I'm so scared!" Chazz, Inuyasha, Hiei, Jaden and Keiko laughed at this.
"Or better yet, have your precious 'Master Sartorius' us up!" Keiko sneered, as the others laughed hardly.
"You'll be calling him that soon enough," Ryoko snarled.
Jaden chuckled, darkly, "Oh I'm so scared." He sneered, sarcastically in a cold tone, "How about if you fools but your decks where your mouths are. Unless of course, you're too chicken to duel us."
"Let me!" Alexis offered, "I'll duel ya!"
"No, let me!" Bastion offered.
Jaden chuckled darkly, "What do you know, guys," he sneered, "Two tools fighting for lil' old me, this is way entertaining!"
"Hey Jay!" Keiko stepped forward, "Why waste your time with these freaks anyways? I want to duel…" the brunette looked from every SOL member and found her target and pointed at him/her, "How about you……Ryoko?"
Ryoko step forward, "Fine!" she said, "If I win, then you return the two satellite keys that you've stolen from us and you return to the Society of Light."
Keiko smirked, "Sure, but if I win then you drop out of the Society of Light!" she sneered, "And we'll be playing by our rules!"
Just then, Chazz walked forward, holding a black suitcase and opened it, "Now place these shackles onto your person," Keiko said, grabbing her set, "Of course, if you're too chicken to duel…"
"…fine!" Ryoko grabs her set of shackles and placed them onto her person as well as Keiko. Soon after Yusuke, Kagome, Syrus, Hassleberry and Kari walked from the room and spotted Keiko and Ryoko placing their duel discs onto their left arms, "Well, well, well, looks like the four Stooges have come," Kari said.
"This is going to be quick and painless," Kagome said.
"For Keiko, anyways," Hassleberry said.
"Ready, traitor!" Ryoko insulted.
"You know it, dork!" Keiko retorted as the two duel discs activate and their life point meter went up to 4000, "DUEL!"
(R: 4000/K: 4000)
"I'll start!" Keiko draws her card and places it in her hand, then pulls out another one, "Come on out, Dark Solar Flare Dragon!" in a pillar of dark fire, a black dragon similar to Solar Flare Dragon rises (Atk: 1500), "Next, I'll play the spell card, Infernal Shot, now whenever a spell card, I gain 400 points while you lose 300 points!"
Ryoko growled, in annoyance, "Now, moving on, I play Meteor of Destruction, so see goodbye to 1000 of your Life Points and thanks to those shackles, you'll fill the pain of the Life Points you've lost!"
From the sky, a fireball is hurled and hits Ryoko. The SOL member screamed in pain as the red electricity is ripped through her body and her points decreased. (R: 3000)
Keiko giggled, darkly, "Hurts doesn't it, dweeb," she sneered, as the fireball disappears and Ryoko falls onto her knee, clutching her arms, "It only gets worse, now my Infernal Shot increases my Life Points (K: 4400). However, you aren't so lucky, 'cause, now you take 300 points on direct damage!"
Ryoko's shackles shocked her and she screams as she feels the pain and her life points dropped even more (R: 2700), "I'll end my turn and don't think you're safe yet, geek, whenever, my turn comes to an end, you lose 500 points thanks to my dragon!"
Keiko's dragon fires a dark fireball at Ryoko and hits her chest. She screams as her shackles shocked her and her life points decreased (R: 2200)
Ryoko slowly stands up and grunts, "M…my move!" she draws her next card and places it in her hand, then pulls out another one, "I activate A Legendary Ocean!"
Just then, water came and floods an inch of the Slifer Red Dorm and an underwater castle appears behind Ryoko, "Since A Legendary Ocean counts as Umi, your dragon loses 200 attack points!" (Atk: 1300).
"But still," Keiko sneered, darkly, "I gain 400 points (K: 4800) while you'll lose 300 points and you'll taste the pain as well, loser!"
Ryoko howled in pain as red electricity ripped through her body and her points decreased (R: 1900). Ryoko held her head up, glaring at her opponent's cruel smirk, as she pulled out a card from her hand, "I……activate A Legendary Ocean's ability……to summon Giga Gagagigo in attack mode!" (Atk: 2450).
Ryoko groaned, knowing what she's about to do will cause her a lot of pain, "Next…I activate the spell card, Big Wave Small Wave to sacrifice Giga Gagagigo to summon forth Gogiga Gagagigo!" (Atk: 2950).
"How foolish," Keiko said. "Thanks to Infernal Shot, I gain 400 points (K: 4800) and you lose 300 points!"
Ryoko howls once again as the red electricity ripped through her and her points decreased (R: 1600). Ryoko slowly gets up onto her feet and glared at Keiko, while trying to regain her balance, "Yeah, thanks to A Legendary Ocean, my monster gains 200 attack points!" (Atk: 3150), "And now, Gogiga Gagagigo, attack that runt of a dragon with Sea Monster Claw Slash!"
Gogiga Gagagigo charged towards the weaken Solar Flare Dragon, slashing it with its claws. The huge red electricity hits Keiko, but she doesn't feel a thing at all as her points decreases (K: 2950).
Ryoko gritted her teeth, 'Damn it, that didn't hurt her,' she thought, 'How come I feel it, but she can't? There must be some reason why.' Ryoko looked at her hand and knew that there wasn't anything that she can do, "I end my turn!"
"I knew you'll say that," Keiko said, drawing her card and placing it in her hand, then pulling out another and sliding in the card slot, "I activate the spell card, Magical Mallet, but I'll get to that later, first my Infernal Shot gives me 400 points (K: 3350) and gives you 300 points of pain!"
Before Ryoko realizes it, she's then screaming in pain as she's hit by red electricity, her points decreases (R: 1300) and falls onto her knees, "Now, all the cards in my hand that I don't want I get to place them in my Deck and shuffle them and draw out the same amount of cards that I placed in my Deck." Keiko places three cards on the top of her Deck, took out her Deck and shuffles it then places it into her disc, "Now I remove Dark Solar Flare Dragon from my graveyard to summon Black Inferno in defense mode!" in a blaze of dark fire, a black fire covered monster similar to Inferno comes out (Def: 1900) – (Def: 1700), "Next, I summon Dark Blazing Inpachi in defense mode!" a monster similar to Blazing Inpachi appears crouching by Dark Inferno (Def: 0000), "Finally, I'll place two cards facedown and end my turn!"
Ryoko slowly stands up onto her feet and glares at Keiko, "O…okay, my move!" Ryoko draws her card and her vision starts to get blurry.
"That's right and because if is this trap activates, Dust Tornado and its path is your underwater castle!"
"No!" Ryoko yells as a dusty tornado had appeared and blew away Ryoko's castle and water from the field, leaving nothing on Ryoko's side of the field.
Ryoko growled, "You're gonna pay for that," she snarled, "I sacrifice my Gogiga Gagagigo to summon Mobius the Frost Monarch!" (Atk: 2400)
Syrus and Hassleberry gawked, "That's the same monster that one of the members of the Light Bridge, Frost used on us, when we were in Domino!" Syrus said.
"And it looks like Sartorius gave Ryoko that card!" Hassleberry added.
"And thanks to Mobius's ability, whenever he's summoned, I can destroy up to 2 Spell or Trap Cards out on the field and I choose that facedown of yours and that annoying Infernal Shot! Mobius, Freeze Play!"
Mobius used his hands to freeze Keiko's Infernal Shot and facedown and they shattered.
"So Keiko, how do you like the weather!?" Ryoko sneered.
Keiko grinned darkly, "I love it," she replied, confusing her opponent, "Did you honestly think that by destroying my Infernal Shot, you'll get off the hook?"
"What?" Ryoko said.
"Does Infernal Shot have some kind of special ability?" Alexis asked herself.
"That's right, dork!" Keiko said, hearing Alexis ponder herself and sends her Infernal Shot spell to her graveyard and says, "By destroying my Infernal Shot, you've activated its other effect, your monster is destroyed and you take damage equal to the half of Mobius's attack points! Tough break, loser!"
"No!" Ryoko shouts as she steps back as her monster is destroyed. She screams as she's hit with huge blot of electricity and her points were dropped (R: 100) Ryoko drops to her knees and hands, trying to withstand the pain. Ryoko looked at her hand and realized that there wasn't anything else she can do, "Go…ahead!"
The SOL members gasped, "Ryoko's…about lose!" Bastion said.
"It's because of that unfair, Infernal Shot!" Alexis snarled.
"You dorks are just jealous that you've gone to a losing streak, since you've lost 3 of your best students," Chazz sneered.
"Shut your trap, Princeton!" Alexis yelled.
"Face it, Lexi," Chazz sneered, again, "The Society of Light will be finished, no more, destroyed and there's nothing you or your band of misfits can do about it!"
"Keep dreaming, asshole!"
"Here we go!" Keiko draws her card, "I'll switch both of my monsters to attack mode!" (Atk: 1850) (Atk: 1100), "Now this is the end! Bye-Bye!"
The monster charged towards Ryoko and rams into her, causing an explosion. She screams as the electricity ripped through her body and her points dropped to zero. She then fell limp to the ground, unconscious.
Alexis clenches her right hand into a fist tightly and mentally exclaims, annoyed, 'Damn it! They got away again! Master Sartorius won't like this at all!'
"Okay, now you guys, beat it!" Jaden demanded, pointing at any random direction from the Slifer Dorm.
"We were leaving anyways, Jaden," Alexis said, as she and the two remaining SOL members left with her.
"Okay, now there's Ryoko to tend to," Keiko said, walking towards the fallen former SOL member and carrying her, "Now let's get her to Yukina."
(White Dorm)
"So not only Ryoko has left us, the nonbelievers still have the satellite keys," Sartorius snarled, clenching his right fist in anger, "I need those keys in my possession!!"
"Sure, I'm sure that one of the nonbelievers has given one of the keys to Aster Phoenix," Alexis said.
"But Aster doesn't want anything to do with them nor us," Bastion said.
"I may have someone in mind," Alexis suggested.
Sartorius looked at Alexis with interest, "Go hold, Ms. Rhodes," he said.
"Last year, there was this guy named Harrington Rosewood, who had a crush on me. But he dueled Jaden to be my fiancé and he was pretty close to beating him." Alexis said
"Yeah and at that time Jaden didn't know what a fiancé meant," Jordan said.
WHAP! WHAP! WHAP! WHAP! WHAP! WHAP! WHAP! WHAP! WHAP! WHAP!
Bastion pulled himself away, looking at Jordan's unmoving form on the floor, with several limps on his head, Alexis standing over him, panting and fists curled tightly, "Jordan Walter Rhodes, don't you ever bring that moment up! Do you hear me!?" Alexis yelled
Jordan's fingers twitched, while Bastion cleared his throat, "I think you might have killed him, Alexis……"
"This duelist may sound interesting, Ms. Rhodes," Sartorius said, "Duel him to help him see the Light and bring Jaden Yuki to his demise."
Alexis bowed, "Yes, Master Sartorius."
