Chapter 12
It was a regular day in Duel Academy, Jordan was dueling a Ra Yellow student, by the school and trying to get the student back to the Society of Light.
Jordan: 1700 LP
Ra Yellow student: 2500 LP
"Destiny is on my side!" Jordan draws his card and looks at it, "I summon Green Gadget in attack mode!" Green Gadget (A: 1400/D: 400), appeared in front of Jordan "Thanks, to its special ability, I can bring Red Gadget to my hand." Jordan took out his deck and fans it.
"Oh! I'm shaking, twerp!" the Ra Yellow student sneered. The student had a Vorse Raider out and one facedown
"Oh really," Jordan presses a button on his disc and his trap was opened, "I activate my Ultimate Offerings Trap Card! Now by contributing 500 Life Points, I can summon another monster, so rise, Red Gadget!" Red Gadget (A: 1300/D: 1500) appeared besides Green Gadget. Plus, Jordan's Life Points dropped from 1700 to 1200, "Thanks to Red Gadget's effect, I can bring Yellow Gadget to my hand."
Jordan once again takes out his deck and fans it and found his choice of monster. He sends the card into his hand and slids the deck into the disc, "Now I'll summon Yellow Gadget to the field in attack mode!" Yellow Gadget (A: 1200/D: 1200) appeared beside Red Gadget and Jordan's Life Points decreased by 500 points.
Jordan: 700 LP
Ra Yellow student: 2500 LP
"So what!" the Yellow student shouted, "You just lowered your Life Points for two more weak monsters!"
Jordan laughed, "I guess being a non-believer of the Light makes you too dense to realize a strategy. Maybe this should help realize that you can't win! I activate my Mobile Fortress – Stronghold trap card!"
The huge and white golem appeared in defense mode (A: 0/D: 2000), "He may seem weak, but thanks to its special ability, whenever there's Green, Red and Yellow Gadgets on the field, my stronghold gains 3000 attack points!" the strongholds stats increases to 3000.
"So what!" the Yellow student shouted, "It's in defense mode, so it can't attack!"
"I never said that my stronghold will attack," Jordan sneered, pulling a card from his hand, "I activate Polymerization to fuse both my Barrel Dragon and Blowback Dragon to summon forth Gatling Dragon!" Suddenly Barrel Dragon (A: 2600/D: 2200) and Blowback Dragon (A: 2300/D: 1200) appears and were absorbed by the dark vortex in the sky and Gatling Dragon (A: 2600/D: 1200) came down behind Jordan.
The Yellow student took a step back and yells, "Next, I play this spell card called Gift of the Marty to increase my Gatling Dragon's attack strength, by sacrificing my stronghold and giving its attack points to my Gatling Dragon!" Jordan said, as his stronghold disappears leaving the three gadget monsters behind and Gatling Dragon's attack strength skyrockets to 5600.
"Now way! 5600 attack points!" the Yellow student gawked.
"That's right! Finally I play White Veil to my Gatling Dragon!" Jordan said, as his monster turns white all over, "And don't even think about activating Draining Shield trap card, because my White Veil spell card, prevents you from activating it, when my monster attacks! Now my monster attack with Tri-Proton Blast!"
Gatling Dragon's three cannons let's out a white fury blast towards the yellow student's Vorse Raider and blows it away and taking 3700 away from his Life Points, ending the duel.
Jordan 0700 LP
Ra Yellow student: 0000 LP
The Yellow student falls to his knees as the holograms faded away and Jordan walks towards the student, "Now goodbye yellow and hello whit…" Jordan was cut off when he receives a blow to the stomach. Jordan crutches down and glares at the person responsible, "Man, I can't believe that white students are so gullible!" the yellow student sneered.
"What the…" Jordan whispered, in surprise, "How could this be possible!? No one, except for Hassleberry can regret the Light!"
The yellow student stands onto his feet and towers over Jordan, "Hate to break it to ya, half pint, it's possible."
Jordan was about to make a run for it, but two more yellow students appeared behind him, trapping him like a rat, "Get him!"
The yellow students jumped onto Jordan and beats up him. A few moments later, Jordan fell limp onto the ground with his white trench coat in a mess, "Now what should we do with this white trash!?" one yellow student sneered.
"Put him where all trash goes!?" another yellow student said, picking Jordan up by the collar and throws him into the garbage can. The yellow student kicked the trash can away, "Have a nice trip, white geek!"
"Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! Whoa!" Jordan shouted, as he was whirled around inside the rolling trash can.
The rolling was stopped immediately, like someone placed his or her foot onto it. Jordan came out onto his back, with swirls in his eyes, "Jordan?"
Jordan looked up to see six Alexis faces, towering over him, "Hey Lex!" he said, lazily.
"What the hell are you doing in a trash can?" Alexis asked, pulling Jordan out.
Jordan told his cousin the story about his duel and Alexis was shocked, "You're kidding!" she shouted, "How could that be possible!? No one, except for Hassleberry could regret the light!"
"I know!" Jordan said, "I don't know how he regretted the Light."
"Come on!" Alexis said, "We're going to tell Master Sartorius about this."
(White Dorm)
"A Ra Yellow student rejecting the Light," Sartorius said, after hearing about Jordan's duel.
"That's right, sir," Jordan said.
"The same thing happened with me," Bastion said. "I was dueling this Obelisk student and I won. But he too regretted the Light as well. The same thing has happened with every nonbeliever in this school that I've dueled and defeated."
"Could there be a reason behind this?" Alexis asked.
Sartorius closed his eyes, in thought, "I should have known," he said, "As you know about the Light of Truth there's the Darkness of Malice, as well."
"Darkness of Malice?" Alexis repeated.
"That's right," Sartorius said, "You see, after Chazz's defeat handed by Yusuke Urameshi, I've done some research on Yusuke and the rest of the black clad duelists at the Slifer dorm and I've came to the conclusion that the nonbelievers in the red dorm are possess the power of darkness and getting stronger."
"How are they getting stronger?" Bastion asked.
"Because of their hatred towards us," Sartorius replied, "And with every member that has dueled against them. With every duel they win, they place a shadow in the person's body to make them, regret the light. If they're not stopped then the whole world will be shrouded by darkness with no light at all."
"How do we stop them?" Alexis asked.
"By dueling them and getting my satellite keys back." Sartorius replied, "With those keys, we can destroy the Darkness of Malice and make mankind to see the Light."
"Yes, sir!"
While outside the white dorm……
A male white student screamed as the electricity ripped through every part of his body and his Life Points went straight to zero. He then fell limp to the ground, shocking every Society member.
"What is he?"
"No human that's for sure enough!"
"What the hell's going on here?"
Every white student made room for Bastion, Alexis and Jordan to go through and see some of their comrades on the ground, unconscious, "Oh my…" Alexis murmured.
"Well, well, well if it isn't the three main white geeks!"
Bastion, Alexis and Jordan looked up to see a man wearing black and a mask that looks like a Red-Eyes Darkness Dragon's face, "What the…Nightshroud?" Alexis said.
The figure known as Nightshroud chuckled, "Nightshroud? Oh no dear sister, it's me, Atticus," he sneered.
"That's right!"
Just then, from the shadows of the night, Yusuke, Jaden, Zane, Chazz, Jade and Kari walked by Atticus/Nightshroud, "Thanks to us, your brother has been reborn," Zane sneered.
"You fools, do you realize what you've done!" Alexis yelled
"I think we do!" Yusuke sneered, "We've beaten you geeks and getting stronger!"
"We know what you guys have done to the rest of the students in this school!" Bastion shouted
"What are you going to do about it, Bastion?" Nightshroud asked.
"We've placed a shadow with every loser from the Society of Light, we've beaten," Chazz sneered.
"Making them immune to your Light," Jaden added.
The three white students growled at this in anger and annoyance, "I think it's time to pick our unlucky victim," Jade sneered, making the SOL members frightened, "I pick you…Jordan."
"What!" Jordan yelped
"No!" Alexis yelled and looked at Jade, "Jade, you can't do this! If you guys want an opponent then choose me! Please……"
"Please?" Yusuke asked, "This is vaguely familiar to us!" Yusuke went into thinking mode, "Where have I seen this before…oh yeah, now I remember! It was when you freaks kidnapped Syrus and Hassleberry and you guys didn't hand them over!"
"But Jordan doesn't deserve to be punished!" Alexis begged, "He wasn't in the Society of Light back then! Punish me! If it's revenge what you guys are after, then chose me, please!"
"And this is how Jordan, Ryoko and Sakura were forced into a duel with you freaks!" Kari snarled, "We begged you guys to stop and what did you guys do to her!? Especially when it was you, who dueled them and made them a part of your damn club!"
"And let's not forget the time that you tied Syrus on top of Duel Academy to force me to duel another one of you freaks!" Jaden snarled, glaring at Alexis, "And I remember correctly, if I refuse, then you geeks will drop him to his doom! Plus, who was the one, who accused me of spying on you and who forced me into a duel with that loser, Bob Banter! I'll give you a hint!" Jaden points at Alexis and yells out, "She's a blonde haired tramp in white, with the initals A.R. and deserves to feel the pain and suffering that she's placed onto the students in this school!"
"But you got them back, isn't that enough! Plus forcing you into that duel with that loser was my idea, alone!" Alexis cried, "Please choose me!"
"Oh spare me the sentimental rubbish, Alexis!" Jaden snarled, "Last I checked, you didn't care about Jordan as long as he was part of the Society of Light with you! I bet that if Jordan was out of the Society of Light, then you'll just abandon him, again for that freak you call a 'master'!"
Jade places her duel disc attached to her left arm and pointed at Jordan, Alexis and Bastion, "Dark Net!"
Her deck glowed with a dark light and blasted it towards Jordan, Alexis and Bastion, trapping them in a dark light net, "Hey let us go!" Bastion demanded.
"Sorry, nerd!" Chazz sneered, "But we have plans for you dorks!"
(Duel Academy arena)
"Here we are, freaks!" Chazz sneered as Jade pulled the dark net, which was in mid-air and had Jordan, Alexis and Bastion in it to the bottom. Jordan was thrown out of the net and Jade threw the net holding the two SOL members to the wall and kept them in place. Their bodies were being held by black restraints. Jordan got onto his feet and looked his abusers, "What are you going to do with them!?" he asked.
"That's all depends on you, dork," Chazz sneered, again, as Keiko came by with black suitcase and opened it to reveal six electrical shackles in it.
"Jordan, please!" Alexis begged, "Don't go through with it!"
"You're kidding, right," Jordan said, looking at Jade, "I'm not going through with this!"
Jade sighed, "You asked for it, Jordy, now you're going to get it," she snapped her fingers as the net holding Alexis and Bastion electrocutes them. They screamed as they felt electricity ripping through their bodies.
Jordan watched this in horror, "Alexis, Bastion!" he called and looked at Jade, "Jade, stop this! This is madness!"
"All you have to do is agree to our terms of the duel and the electricity stops," Jade said.
"But you're going to kill them!"
"And it would be all your fault," Nightshroud sneered, "If you say the words then the electricity will stop and their pathetic lives are spared."
"That's your little sister in there!" Jordan yelled, pointing at a screaming Alexis, "You're just going to leave her there to die!"
"That thing isn't my sister!" Nightshroud sneered, "She stopped being my sister, when she first joined you people! That thing isn't my baby sister!"
Jordan grunts and looks helplessly at Alexis, who was screaming as electricity ripped through her body, "Stop! Please stop! Okay, just stop doing this! I'll go through with it!" he cried
Jade snapped her fingers as the electricity subsided, "That's all I need to hear," she sneered as she threw three shackles at Jordan.
Alexis opened one eye and watched in horror as she sees her cousin putting the shackles onto his person, "No…Jordan…I told you not to go through with this duel with those things…" she whispered, "You…could die."
After the shackles have been placed, the duel discs have been activated and the life-point meter went up to 4000.
First Score:
Jordan: 4000
Jade: 4000
"I will start this duel off!" Jade draws one card from her deck and says, "First, I summon Dark Luster Dragon in attack mode!" she puts card on his duel disk and a dark dragon similar to Luster Dragon appears on the field in attack mode (A: 1900/D: 1600), "Finally, I'll play three facedowns and end my turn!"
Jordan draws one card from his deck, "Since you have a monster out on the field, I summon Cyber Dragon in attack mode!" Just then, Cyber Dragon (A: 2100/D: 1600) appears on the field in attack mode, "Next, I normal summon Drillago to the field!" Appearing beside Cyber Dragon stood Drillago (A: 1600/D: 1100) in attack mode, "Next, I play Quick Summon so I can summon Snow Fairy in attack mode!" Just then, Snow Fairy (A: 1100/D: 700) appeared beside Cyber Dragon, "The reason behind this is that you guys have some can of weird spell cards in your decks that would damage my life points and with Snow Fairy's effect, you can't activate any spells cards for a turn! Now Cyber Dragon attack with Strident Blast!" Cyber Dragon fires a beam of blue energy from its mouth and towards Dark Luster Dragon.
"I activate my Draining Shield trap card!" Just then, a transparent barrier appears around Jade and her monsters, "Not only does it stop my attack, it gives my life-points equal to your dragon's attack points!"
"You'd love to think that, but you're wrong!" Jordan puts a card in the spell/trap slots and exclaims, "I activate my Quick-Spell card! Trap Booster! Now, by discarding one card from my hand, I can activate one trap card from my hand! I think I'll use Trap Jammer, so much of your shield! I told you that you can't stop destiny!"
Jade chuckled, "I guess 'the Light' has made you too blind for you to see that, I've got my own Trap Jammer and it cancels out all your hard work!" Jordan's hologram of Trap Jammer was shattered, while Jade's barrier was safe and her life-points increased to 6100.
Jordan grunts, "You're forgetting about my Drillago's special ability, if you have a monster that has an attack force of 1600 or more, he can attack you directly! Now Drillago attack Jade directly!"
Drillago rushes towards Jade, who smirked, "Dark Luster Dragon counterattack!" she commanded as she pressed the button on her disc and her black dragon blasts a black blast at Drillago, destroying it.
"What the…" Jordan screamed in pain as the red electricity hits his body hard as his life-points decreases by 300 points.
"Jordan!" Alexis gasped, as the electricity subsided from Alexis's younger cousin's body.
"What could have happened!?" Bastion asked.
"My Skill Drain trap is what happened!" Jade said, as her life-points decreases by 1000 points and red electricity ripped through her pain, but she didn't feel any pain, "At the cost of 1000 of my life-points, all effects of Monster Cards are negated.
Jordan glared at his opponent as he slowly stood on his feet, 'That means that as long as that Skill Drain is on the field, my Snow Fairy is useless!' he thought, looking at Snow Fairy, "I end my turn!"
Current Score:
Jordan: 3700
Jade: 5100
"I thought you'd say that," Jade said as she drew her card, "And since, your Snow Fairy's effect is canceled, I can activate Spell Cards, now like Pot of Greed! Now I can draw two cards from my deck!" Jade draws two cards from her deck, "I summon Horus the Black Flame Dragon LV4 in attack mode!" in a pillar of black fire, Horus the Black Flame Dragon LV4 (A: 1600/D: 1000) appeared and stood by Luster Dragon, "Next, I play the field spell, Dark Dragon Sanctuary!"
Just then, the whole arena turned was covered in thick purple smoke and a mountain was raised behind Jade, which got Jordan spooked, "Wh…what the heck is this?" Jordan asked.
"My Dark Dragon Sanctuary is a so powerful that I have to send all of my cards in my hand to the graveyard, but it would be worth it." Jade sends all of her cards from her hand to the graveyard, "Now pay attention, geek, cause, I'm only going to say this once. In this sanctuary, my dragons gain 400 extra attack and defense points and whenever they destroy a monster that's in defense mode, difference is dealt to them as damage. Plus, they get a 100 attack point bonus for every monster they destroyed."
"No way!" Jordan steps back in fear.
Just then, the black fog has surrounded Jade's dragons and increases Dark Luster Dragon's stats from 1900/1600 to 2300/2000 and Horus's stats from 1600 to 2000, "Now, Dark Luster Dragon, attack Cyber Dragon with Breath of Dark Fire!"
Dark Luster Dragon powers up a black blast, from its mouth and hurls it towards Cyber Dragon. Cyber Dragon shrieks as it, withers away and Jordan howls in pain as red electricity is ripped through his body. His life points decreases by 200, "Now Horus, blast his snow bitch to the next country!" Jade commanded, pointing at Snow Fairy. Horus powers up a black fireball, from its mouth and hurls it towards Snow Fairy. Snow Fairy screams as she's engulfs by the black fireball and Jordan screams as red electricity is ripped through his body once again and his points decreases further by 900.
"Jordan!" Alexis yells in horror as her cousin drops onto his right knee
"Now my dragon gets stronger," Jade said, as Dark Luster Dragon stats increases from 2300 to 2400 and Horus's stats increases from 2000 to 2100, "Oh and by the way, Jordan, if you're thinking about reviving your Snow Fairy, again, forget it. Because my sanctuary has another effect, whenever my dragons destroy a monster in battle, it's removed from play and the monster with the same name as the monster can't be used for the entire duel!"
"WHAT!" Jordan snapped.
"You've got to be kidding me!" Alexis shouted, "That's not fair!"
"Oh you use that White Veil card on others to destroy every spell and trap card on the opposing side of the field," Jaden sneered at the blonde.
"At least White Veil has one powerful effect, while Dark Dragon Sanctuary has more than one effect for one side effect!"
"Oh wah! Cry me a river, bitch!" Chazz sneered
"Next, I play Mystical Space Typhoon to destroy Skill Drain!" A small typhoon was produced and destroys Skill Drain, "Then, I play one card facedown and evolve my Horus to a Level 6 monster!" Jade said, as a card materialized behind her dragons and black light had surrounded Horus as it grows to Horus the Black Flame Dragon LV6 (A: 2300/D: 1600). Then, Horus's stats increases from 2300/1600 to 2700/2000.
Current Score:
Jordan: 2600
Jade: 5100
"You'll pay for that!" Jordan draws one card from his deck and looks at it, "Perfect! I activate Card of Sanctity, now we both draw until we're holding six cards in our hands!"
Both duelists drew until they were holding six cards in their hands, "Next, I'll play Polymerization to fuse two Cyber Dragons in my hand to summon Cyber Twin Dragon!" The two Cyber Dragons (A: 2100/D: 1600)x2 appeared on the field and were sucked into a dark vortex and out came Cyber Twin Dragon (A: 2800/D: 2100) landed beside Jordan, "Next, I play the spell card, White Veil!"
"It's just about over," Alexis chuckled.
Just then, Cyber Twin Dragon was raiding with white energy, "Now Cyber Twin Dragon attack with White Twin Strident Blast!"
The Cyber Twin Dragon powers up its blast, aiming at Horus and fired. Jade pressed the button on her disc, "I activate my Darkness Veil trap and equip it to Horus!"
"Oh come on!" Alexis shouted, "Where do they get that annoying trap card!?"
"You've got to be kidding me!" Jordan wailed, as Horus was raiding with black energy.
"Now your White Veil is no more!" Jade said, as White Veil was destroyed and Cyber Twin Dragon destroys two of Jade's dragons and lowering her life points by 500 points. Jade's shackles sends red electricity to her body, but she doesn't feel a thing.
Jordan growled, "I play one facedown and end my turn." He said, flatly.
"So sad!" Jade sneered and puts one card in the spell/trap slot and calls out, "Now, I play my Lightning Vortex Spell card! By discarding one card from my hand, I can destroy your Twin Dragon!" Jade discards one card from her hand and Jordan's Twin Dragon are destroyed in a huge lightning storm.
Jordan thinks in his mind, with a panicked look on his face, 'Don't panic, Jordan! Jade can't win! You have destiny on your side! When she attacks, I use my Mirror Force to destroy any monster she attacks with!!'
Jade slaps a monster onto her duel disc, "I summon Dark Mirage Dragon in attack mode!" In a blaze of dark light, a black dragon similar to Mirage Dragon appears on the field (A: 1600/D: 600), "And thanks to its special ability, whenever it summoned, I get to destroy one spell or trap on the field, like that facedown of ours!" Jade points at Jordan's facedown card, which was obliterated, "No!" Jordan shouts.
"Oh it gets worse," Jade slids another card into the spell/trap slot and calls out, "I activate Monster Reborn to revive Dark Tyrant Dragon!"
Jordan took a step back in shock, as a huge black dragon form of the original Tyrant Dragon appears behind Jade (A: 2900/D: 2500), "Now my dragon gets more powerful in strength!" Dark Tyrant Dragon's stats increases from 2900 to 3300.
"Great Scott! That's more than enough to finish off Jordan!" Bastion gawked, which earned him a glare from an angry Alexis, "I know that, Bastion!" she yelled and turned to Jordan, "Jordan, please surrender!" Jordan looks at Alexis, "If that dragon attacks, you could get killed from the shackles!"
Jordan prepares to take off the shackles, "Don't even think about it," Jade snarled, "If I see any attempts to take those shackles off, then your cousin will be deep fried!"
Jordan glowered, knowing that if he takes off the shackles, Alexis would be killed, but if he keeps them on then Alexis would never forgive him, if he lives through the shocks.
"Jordan, take those shackles off!" Alexis begged, "Forget about me! Take those shackles off! I don't want you to get hurt!"
Jordan was about hesitated to take the shackles of, like something inside of him was telling him to keep the shackles on, "Oh and after we kill your pathetic cousin, Jordan," Jade sneered, "We may come after Sartorius's head!"
The SOL members were in shock, "That's not fair!" Alexis yelled and looked at Atticus, "If you're really Atticus, then you have to stop the duel! Jordan could get hurt or worse, he could get killed!"
Nightshroud didn't say anything, just ignored her, which made Alexis turn to Jaden, "Jaden, please stop the duel! Jordan's gonna get killed!"
As the same as Nightshroud, Jaden just plain ignored her, "Jade, finish him off!" he said, which got Alexis shocked, 'You're kidding!' she shouted in her mind.
"With pleasure!" Jade said, "Now Dark Tyrant Dragon attack him directly!"
Dark Tyrant Dragon breaths dark flames at Jordan, hitting him, which caused an explosion, "Jordan!" Alexis screamed loudly in distress.
Jordan cries in pain as the red electricity is ripped through the tip of his fingers to the tip of his toes as he loses 2900 Life Points in one shot, losing the duel.
Final Score:
Jordan: 0
Jade: 5100
Jordan then fell on the floor, giving up consciousness.
"Jordan!" Alexis screamed, as she struggled to get free, "No…no…"
Jade walked towards the fallen former member of the Society of Light and snapped her fingers and the restraints holding Alexis and Bastion disappeared and the fell to the ground. Alexis gets onto her feet and dashing towards her fallen cousin, but was blocked by her brother, "Not so fast, sissy," he sneered.
"Let me go!" Alexis demanded.
"Relax, your cousin's fine," Jade said, "No need to blow a gasket."
"Besides, it's not like you care or anything," Jaden said, "He's not a part of the Society of Light anymore. So we'll be taking care of him."
Alexis grunts, "The hell you are!" she screamed, but found herself, being blown off her feet and knocked halfway to the wall. She fell from the wall and to the ground.
Jaden smirked, seeing the blonde on the ground, struggling to stand up. He disappeared and appeared by Alexis, "Hello." He said, in a cold and sarcastic tone, "Now this is so familiar, where have I seen this?" Jaden narrowed his eyes, "Oh yeah, now I remember," Jaden kicked the blonde's side hard, making her turn and land on her back.
Jaden walked and placed his foot onto the blonde's stomach and his smirk widened, "I bet you remember this!" He slammed his foot onto Alexis's stomach hard, making her scream.
"You stomped on my gut, when you had to do your little errand for that pathetic Sartorius," Jaden sneered, as he sees Alexis turning to her side and hold her stomach.
Alexis coughed blood, "I think you're taking this revenge thing a bit out of hand," she murmured, "And that was only by accident, because you wouldn't get out of my way!"
Jaden kicked her in reply, which landed on her front, "That's no way to talk to someone, who's has your life hanging by the balance, wench!" he spat and smirked, "Since I'm a nice guy I've give you a break for now. Now we will be taking our leave, now!" Jaden said, as he and the others left, the two SOL members, with the unconscious Jordan.
