Chapter 17

In the late afternoon hours in Duel Academy on that day, in the Ra Yellow Dorm, we find Bastion Misawa in his room, painting his walls black, so he can write new formulas. After embracing the powers of the darkness, Bastion felt more power to unleash his wrath to Sartorius and his Society of Light for brainwashing him and betraying his friends. He had to thank Jaden and Keiko for bringing him back to his senses. He remembered how he felt so guilty for betraying his friends…

Flashback

"Damn it!" Bastion slams his fist to the walls in his room, "How could I have allowed myself to treat the way that I've treated to my friends!?"

He remembers dueling Hinata Hyuga, ruthlessly and brainwashing her as well. He didn't blame Naruto for the insults that he remembered what the blonde haired ninja yelled at him on that day. He also remembered forcing Syrus into a duel with a SOL member, which Syrus lost on purpose, when Sartorius used Syrus's pain and suffering to return Zane to the way he used to be.

He knew that he had one person to blame for this and that person…no Bastion could call him a person, he was a cold hearted monster. Sartorius was the blame for his unhappiness this year. He's cheated him out of the win that allowed himself to be turned into a cold hearted monster. That win would have destroyed Sartorius and his Society of Light, once and for all.

Just then, there was a knock on his door and he walked towards his door to reveal Chazz, Yusuke and Jaden behind it.

Jaden says, "Hey Bastion!"

Bastion manages to place a smile on his face as he lets his friends inside his room and says, "Good evening, gents! I've been doing some thinking."

Chazz says, in his usual tone, "You're down about letting that brainwashing asshole, Sartorius, get you as well."

Bastion nods in reply and says, "I regretted allowing myself treating you guys like you're nothing."

Yusuke says, "So, you want revenge on that ass?"

Bastion says, in anger, "Revenge, of course, do I? I want revenge for what that wretch and his damned Society of Light has done to me. I want Sartorius to know what happens when you greatly anger Bastion Misawa and you don't suffer the consequence!"

Jaden says, with a wide grin, "Glad you agree, Bastion! You'll get your revenge all right!"

Chazz says, "That's right! I'll still pissed with that asshole for using The Chazz as a brainwashing puppet!"

End Flashback

After finishing painting, Bastion started writing down formulas for his dueling decks with a bright red pencil, 'Thanks to the darkness, I'll see to it that Sartorius and his Society of Light is destroyed!'

Somewhere on Academy Island, we find our darkened Obelisk queen, Alexis starting a duel two members of the Society of Light, with the shackles. Apparently, the two SOL members decided to piss Alexis off, by picking on Jordan, which caused her to teach them a lesson in manners. By the sidelines, Yusuke, Keiko, Kagome, Jaden, Jordan, Hikari, Jasmine, Mindy, Atticus and Zane were watching and supporting their friend. The duel has just started with each duelist having 4000 life-points apiece and one female SOL member draws her card.

The first female SOL member yells out, coldly, "All right, traitor, I'll start things off!" She puts one card in the spell/trap slots and says, in a cold tone, "First, I activate Meteor of Destruction, so I can inflict 1000 points of damage to your life points!" Just then, a huge flaming meteor comes from the sky and slams onto Alexis, causing her life points to drop by 1000 points, and the shackles activates causing red electric energy to spark as Alexis gets shocked with electrical energy, but didn't even flinch but smirked, disturbing the two SOL members.

The second female white student yells out, annoyed, "Oh, come on! You've got be feeling something!"

Alexis darkly giggled and replies, with a dark sly smile, "Actually, I did and it's a good massage on the shoulders. Can you do that again?"

The first female white student gulped as she places a card onto her disc and says, "You're a freak! I summon Luster Dragon in attack mode!" Soon after, Luster Dragon (A: 1900/D: 1600) appears on the field in attack mode. She slids a card into the spell/trap slot and says, "I'll end with this!"

The second female white student draws a card and says, "It's my turn and I summon Solar Flare Dragon in attack mode!" Soon after, Solar Flare Dragon (A: 1500/D: 1000) appears on the field in attack mode. The second female white student says, in a cold and sly smile, "I end my turn and you take 500 points of damage!" Solar Flare Dragon launches a sphere of flame energy at Alexis and it slams into him with terrific force, lowering his life-points by 500. Alexis gets shocked with electrical energy, but didn't flinch, disturbing the two SOL members.

Alexis pouts and says, drawing a card, "Aw…it was a good massage, too! Maybe, you, geeks, can be useful as Massage Therapists!"

All of Alexis's friends, brother and cousin laughed at the Obelisk queen's joke and the first female SOL member yells out, annoyed, "Just go, bitch!"

Alexis shrugs and says, darkly, "It's your funeral, wench!" Alexis slids a card into the spell/trap slot and says, "I activate Pot of Greed, now I draw two cards from my deck!" Alexis draws two cards from her deck, slids another one into the spell/trap slot and says, "I activate Polymerization to fuse both Etoile Cyber and Blade Skater to summon Cyber Blader!" Soon after, Etoile Cyber (A: 1200/D: 1600) and Blade Skater (A: 1400/D: 1500) appears on the field and jumped into the vortex above Alexis's head. Just then, Cyber Blader (A: 2100/D: 800) jumps out of the vortex and lands onto the field. Alexis places a card onto her disc and says, "Next, I summon Petite Angel in attack mode!" Soon after, Petite Angel (A: 300/D: 200) appears in attack mode and a card came flying from Alexis's deck to her hand. Alexis pulls out that card, slids it into the spell/trap slot and says, "I activate Machine Angel Ritual, now sacrificing Petite Angel and Cyber Prima, I can totally summon Cyber Angel Dakini!" Alexis discards her Cyber Prima (A: 2300/D: 1600) to the graveyard, as the hologram image of Cyber Prima appears then vanishes, along with Petite Angel as Cyber Angel Dakini (A: 2700/D: 2400) takes the stage. Alexis spoke, darkly, "Usually, Dakini allows you dorks choose a monster on your side of the field, but since you two have only one monster on each side of the field, I can choose what monster on the field, I can destroy…" Alexis puts her finger in the air, "…and I choose…" Alexis points at Luster Dragon, "Luster Dragon!"

The first female SOL member yells out, in distress, "No!" Luster Dragon gets blown to bits.

Alexis puts another card in the spell/trap slots and says, in a dark nasty tone, "Next, I play my Megamorph Equip Spell! Since I've got less life-points than either of you, dorks, my Cyber Blader's original attack points are doubled!" Cyber Blader's stats increase from 2100/800 to 4200/800. Alexis slids a card into the spell/trap slot and says, "Then, I play Card of Demise, now I draw until I'm holding five cards in my hand and in five turns I'll discard every card in my hand." Alexis draws five cards from her deck and says, sliding a card into the spell/trap slot, "I activate Trap Booster, now by sending one card from my hand I can activate a trap card from my hand and I choose Darkness Veil! I'll equip it to Cyber Blader!" Cyber Blader turns darker in color and got red glowing eyes.

The second female white student becomes worried and the first one yells at her, annoyed, "Oh, come on, girl! Suck it up! She can't attack this turn and by the time she can, we will have already defeated that Blader of hers! Destiny is on our side!"

Alexis puts another card in the spell/trap slots and says, darkly and with a dark sly tone, "Better think again, wench! I play Mischief of the Time Goddess! So, your turns are now skipped and my Battle Phase begins again! Oh and whenever, a monster with Darkness Veil attacks, all spell and trap cards are destroyed and the owner takes 400 points of damage!"

Both white students gasp in shock and the first white female student calls out, "You've got to be kidding me!"

Alexis yells out, in a dark serious tone, "Let's see if you think this is a joke, bitch! Cyber Blader, attack dork number one and teach her a lesson! Whirlwind Rage!" Alexis's Cyber Blader spins into a whirlwind that slams into the first female white student, as her facedown trap was destroyed and she screams out in pain as red electricity surges through her whole body as she loses 4600 life-points in one shot. Soon after, the white student collapses onto the ground on her back and falls into a state of unconsciousness.

The second white student yells out, in horror, "Oh no!"

Alexis yells out, "Now Dakini, attack her dragon now!" Dakini lungs towards Solar Flare Dragon and slashes them with her sword and spear. The white student wailed in extreme pain as she loses 1200 life points. Alexis puts another card in the spell/trap slots and says, darkly, "Sorry, wench, but you are next! I play my Dark Spell Regeneration! This card allows me to copy any spell card in the graveyard and use it for one turn! And I choose my Mischief of the Time Goddess!"

The first white student gasps in horror, knowing what this means, and calls out, fearfully, "No, you can't!"

Alexis shouts out, in a dark serious tone, "I can…and I will, dork! Cyber Blader, finish off white geek number two now! Whirlwind Rage!" Cyber Blader performs the same attack on the second female white student and she screams out as red electricity surges through her body from head to toe as 4200 of her life-points were taken in one attack, ending the duel immediately.

Final Score:

Alexis: 2500

Two female SOL members: 0x2

Soon after, the holograms faded as the second female SOL member collapses onto the ground and into unconsciousness as well.

Keiko calls out, excitedly, "Way to go, Alexis!"

Atticus calls out, excitedly, "You won in one turn, sis!"

Hikari nods her head and calls out, in an excited tone, "Great job, girlfriend!"

Jaden calls out, with a smile on his lips, "Sweet duel, 'Lex!"

Alexis blushed at Jaden's comment and says, "Thanks guys! Besides, I had to show what happens when you greatly piss off Alexis Rhodes and don't face the painful consequences."

Later, Jordan sat on his towel on the beach, wearing a pair of black swim trunks, staring out at the advancing and retreating waves of the sea. He had come out here to enjoy the sunset, but had thoughts in his mind. He thought about how Sartorius brainwashed him through his own cousin. He had Jade to thank for bring him back from the Society of Light, even if it had to be done by those shackles. Just then Jordan hears footsteps coming towards him and he whips to the source of the voice to see our female spirit detective, in her black two piece suit, her long blue hair tied up in a bun, walk over to him. Jordan blushes at the sight and tries to hold it and asks, curiously, "Hi, Jade! What's up?"

Jade blushes slightly at the sight of her crush and asks Jordan, somewhat nervously, "Jordan, you don't mind if I…I sit by you? Unless you want to be by yourself?"

Jordan blushes a lot and replies, a bit nervously, "No! No! It's okay! I've been meaning to tell you something…" Jade then walks over to Jordan and sits down by him, which makes both of them blush.

Jade asks Jordan, flattered, "Wh…what want to talk to me about?"

Jordan blushes and says, in a nervous tone, "I want to thank you for bring me back to my senses."

Jade blushes and smiles, "N…no problem…Jordan. I'm glad that you're back with us."

Jordan says, "You know, I was trying to rescue Alexis from Sartorius's power, like she's been doing for me, when we were kids. Everytime, I'm in trouble she and Atticus comes to my rescue. During my time in the Society of Light, I must have hurt you and I'm sorry for it."

Jade gasped slightly and says, "No need to say sorry, Jordan. It wasn't your fault, it was Sartorius's damn light that got the best of you."

Flashback

"Jordan?" Jade ran to the brainwashed Jordan, who was walking ahead of her. Jordan stops and looked at Jade with a cold glare and says, in a cold tone, "What do you want, nonbeliever!?"

Jade yells out, "Jordan, fight it! Sartorius brainwashed you!"

Jordan says, in a cold tone, "Master Sartorius is a great man, Jade! If there's anyone that's blind is you! With your heightened spirit energy and senses, you don't know who the villain is or not! The darkness is our enemy and must be destroyed! If you don't want to join the Society of Light, then I want nothing to do with you, anymore until I do."

Jade was heartbroken to hear Jordan says those things and Jordan walking away from the heartbroken spirit detective.

End Flashback

Jade says, "You were brainwashed into hurting others close to you. Besides, I wasn't there in time to stop the duel between you and Alexis, when she was brainwashed by that freak's light. Besides, the others don't blame you for what happened, when you were brainwashed."

Jordan absentmindedly puts his hand onto Jade's and tells her, comfortingly, "There's no blame to be put on you, Jade. If there's anyone to blame is Sartorius. He's caused too many students in this school to suffer and has to be stopped."

Jade smiles warmly and tells Jordan, "Thank you." Soon after, Jordan and Jade notice that Jordan's hand was still on Jade's, Jordan yelps out in shock, and quickly takes his hand away.

Jordan tells Jade, flattered, "I'm…I'm sorry, Jade! I didn't know!"

Jade tells Jordan, blushing widely, "No! No! It's all right, Jordan!" Soon after, the two widely blushing teens look at each other, Jade with her beautiful dark emerald eyes and Syrus with his blue orbs, and they continue to stare at each other for a few minutes, not losing their blush. Soon enough, their lips move ever so closer to each other until they collect and the two of them close their eyes in a passionate kiss. Soon their tongues battled for domination as they wrapped around each other. Jordan boy advanced in her mouth, tasting her tongue, gently touching the soft flesh. It was tasty, unlike anything he had ever felt before. Jade pressed his head closer to her face, taking as much as she could from Jordan. He breathed from the lovely scent all around her, feeling dizzy from the heavenly smell of flowers. Jordan's hands wrapped themselves around her slim waist and pulled her body closer, and she placed her finger into his hair, all the while not breaking the kiss. After some time they broke the kiss and looked at each other, smiled and kissed again.

Jordan says, as he broke the kiss, "I think I'm starting to love you."

Jade says, lovingly, "I'm thinking the same thing." Jordan smiled as he presses his lips onto Jade's, kissing her, passionately. Jordan was lost in Jade's scent as he pushed her back a bit. Jordan's hands began to move from her waist to her bare back, caressing it as he did so. Then they went to her sides, and ran up and down her sides. Jordan moved his lips from Jade's and begun kissing her neck, making her gasp. He then sucked on it, leaving hickeys as he did so. She could only moan as she felt this new pleasurable sensation as Jordan unconsciously wrapped his finger around Jade's bikini top strap. He loosen his finger from the strap and rubbed her back, not wanting to the kiss to end.
