Johan: Hi readers! Listen, Dark Lord of Anime is kinda busy with his studies so, he won't be here. Anyway, he left a message to Vinosha (tomboysparkman007 ) that he is also might not update in a few days.

Judai: Alright! We will be the guests here from now on, Johan!

Johan: Yeah. Alright, you say the disclaimer, Judai.

Disclaimer: Dark Lord of Anime does not own anything that GX owns in this story.

Judai: Is that better?

Johan: That was, ok, Judai. Oh, and by the way, he also said that some of the flashbacks, he got it from Janime and he wanted to apologize to all of you because the preview on the last chapter is a mistake. It should be 'Unleash the God and Dragon! Judai V.S. Manjyome Black Thunder' and not 'The Big Search Begins!'. Dark Lord of Anime is really sorry for the mistakes. Ok, Sho and Kenzan, take it away!

Sho and Kenzan: 3… 2… 1 and action!

--Turn 034--

Unleash the God and Dragon! Judai V.S. Manjyome Black Thunder

--Previously on Yu-Gi-Oh! GX Season 4--

"I think you already know how to get to the training camp of Kousuke, right? So, I think I won't guide you anymore. I will just go to the Hero City, so good luck!" King Atem said as he waved his hands backward as he walked off the door.

--switches to Vestal City--

"This is Vestal City, the city of all warrior type monsters live and train. Blade City, where all monsters can train with skilled warriors, is where King Atem, Judai, Johan and Ken are. So, don't worry. Those two cities are not far. Oh and by the way, activate your Armor Blazes. Just like what happened to Kaiji, Tsuichi and Shawran, all of you will also have an armor suit to protect you all from monsters to attack." Dark Magician explained and he went back to the door.

"Please move faster! We're already late for the training!" the trainers said.

"Why? Did you have a schedule sensei?" asked Sho.

"Well, no but we have to hurry." The trainers said.

The gang sighed in defeat and walked off.

Judai, Johan, Ken and the gang are now training in their respective cities. They didn't know what will happen when they go to the Tower of Destruction, but they are sure that they will succeed in their mission on saving Asuka.

Opening: Oath in the Storm by Kimeru


After months of training, Judai and the gang are now set to go to the Tower of Destruction. They have to accomplish many things in order to go to the Matic City where the Tower of Destruction is.

The gang is now separated to each other because the Three Dueling Knights have to go to the Hero City in order to ask help from the gods. King Atem has chose Jim to be the leader of the Protectors of Serpentholm and Judai to be the leader of the Three Dueling Knights.

A/N: Just look at the bottom page to see the definition of the Protectors of Serpentholm.

--in Hero City--

Judai, Johan and Ken arrived already in the Hero City. According to King Atem, they have to go to the Hero Tower in order to talk to the Supreme Ruler of Hero City, Exodia (ATK infinite/DEF infinite).

They walked around the city and managed to find the Hero Tower.

When they are already at the door of the tower, two Karbonala Warrior (ATK 1500/DEF 1200) who are the guards, stopped Judai, Johan and Ken.

"Hold it right there. Who are you three?" asked the Karbonala Warrior on the right.

"We are the Three Dueling Knights. We were told by King Atem to go here to ask help to Master Exodia." Ken said.

The two monsters is shock once they heard the word Three Dueling Knights.

"Wait! Are you Judai Yuki, Johan Anderson and Ken Edogawa?!" asked the Karbonala Warrior on the left pointing to the duelists one by one.

"Uh, yeah." The three of them said in unison with a confused look on their faces.

Then the two monsters put away their weapons in the door and said, "Oh, we are really very sorry! We didn't know. Master Exodia has been expecting you three inside the castle."

"No, its okay. We usually got mistaken sometimes. Hehehehe!" Judai said as the three of them went inside.

When they went inside, the first thing they noticed is a big chair, good for the height of Exodia. The second thing they noticed is that, there are four monsters that are kneeling in front of the chair of Exodia.

"Um, Ken what are those monsters doing?" Judai and Johan said in unison.

"They are waiting for Master Exodia. The one on the center is Garrin; the one next to him is Thestalos; the one on the right is Mobius; and the one on the left is Shinja. They are one of the supreme rulers of one of the cities of Serpentholm. Better be careful with your words when the two of you speak to one of them, especially Zera, because these gods are very powerful and might hurt you. Remember that here in Serpentholm, monsters are real." Ken said.

A/N: Garrin's monster spirit is Black Luster Soldier (ATK 3000/DEF 2500), Thestalos' monster spirit is Thestalos the Firestorm Monarch (ATK 2400/DEF 1000), Mobius' monster spirit is Mobius the Frost Monarch (ATK 2400/DEF 1000), Shinja's monster spirit is Cyber-Tech Alligator (ATK 2500/DEF 1600) and Zera's monster spirit is Zera the Mant (ATK 2800/DEF 2300).

"Who is Zera?" asked Judai.

Instead of Ken answering Judai's question, Thestalos answered it.

"He is called the 'Terror Beast'. He is a very powerful monster. Whenever a human or monster broke the laws of Serpentholm, he is the one who punishes it." Thestalos said.

"You're the Three Dueling Knights right?" asked Mobius.

"Yes." The three of them answered.

Mobius smirked. "Just as I thought."

"What do you mean, Mobius-sama?" asked Johan.

"Ah, nothing! The three of you just looked like the Three Mystical Knights--" Mobius was cut off by a voice from behind them.

"Don't ever tell that to our guests, Mobius." The voice said as thee four supreme rulers turned back.

"Master Exodia!" Garrin, Thestalos, Mobius and Shinja said and quickly knelt down.

"So, you three are the chosen duelists to be the Three Dueling Knights, huh? Atem-kun sure is good at picking duelists. I am sure the three of you are good, am I right? And by the way, who is the leader?" Exodia said.

"I am, Master Exodia." Judai said as he step forward.

Exodia looked at Judai seriously. 'I knew there is something in that boy. It kind of reminds me of Neo.' After Exodia said that, a figure of Neo appeared at the back of Judai. Exodia is surprised to see this.

"Alright then, what is your purpose? Why did you go to my castle?" Exodia said.

"Um, Master Exodia. We need the help of some good soldiers from your city because we are planning to go to the Matic City where the Tower of Destruction is. We really need your help, Master Exodia." Ken said.

"Nani?! Tower of Destruction?!" the four supreme rulers said.

"Why did you need to go to the Tower of Destruction? Do you know how dangerous it is to go inside that cursed place?" Exodia said.

"But I need to go there. All of us needs to. One of my friends is in danger and if something happens to her, I can never forgive myself." Judai said with little tears coming out from his eyes.

Then suddenly, Masaki, entered the room and told them, "Master, we are in need of your help. A duelist along with a lot of Summoned Skull (ATK 2500/DEF 1200), Battle Ox (ATK 1700/DEF 1000), Swamp Battleguard (ATK 1800/DEF 1500) and Lave Battleguard (ATK 1550/DEF 1800) are near in our city. And I think they are going straight here, Master."

A/N: Masaki's monster spirit is Masaki the Legendary Swordsman (ATK 1100/DEF 1100).

"Nani?!" All the masters in the room, including the Three Dueling Knights, said.

Then they all went outside. When Judai, Johan and Ken saw what is outside, they saw what Masaki had told them.

Judai, Johan and Ken went straight to the army to see who the duelist is leading them. Then, the army stopped with their leader in front, wearing a black hooded cloak.

"Hey, you! How dare you to go here in the Hero City, huh? I can't let you destroy this place! Let's duel!" Judai said as his Armor Blaze transformed into a duel disk.

The leader just stood there, laughing so hard.

Judai, Johan and Ken are confused why.

The leader stopped laughing. "I am very happy that you haven't change yet… Judai." The leader said as he removed his hood to reveal,

Manjyome.

Judai and Johan are shock to see that Manjyome is the leader of this army. Manjyome just stood there smirking.

"Why are you all so speechless, huh? I thought you wanted to duel, Judai?" Manjyome, or should we call now, Manjyome Black Thunder said.

Then, Manjyome Black Thunder activated his own Armor Blaze by pushing the button on the middle. Manjyome's duel disk is like Xander's. Then after that, Manjyome Black Thunder raised his left arm with his duel disk and the field turns into darkness theme.

A/N: Just to let you all know, whenever they play the Life-or-Death shadow game, those who are watching the game can only see a red force field in the controller and his opponent's location. Inside the force field, the controller and his opponent are dueling. Meaning, all of those who are watching, cannot see the duel inside the force field.

"I… can't… do this Manjyome." Judai said while he faces the ground.

"Huh?" Manjyome Black Thunder said and then he started to laugh again.

"Why are you like that now, Judai? Come on, let's duel! You wanna see Asuka, right?" Manjyome Black Thunder said as Judai's eyes went wide in shock as he heard Asuka's name.

"If you really wanna see Asuka, duel me! I'll promise you as a friend, I will tell you where Asuka is now." Manjyome Black Thunder said. These words of Manjyome made Judai even surprise a bit more.

"Y-You know where Asuka is?" Judai said with a little bit of a worry tone in his voice.

"Yes. But I will tell you that, if you win this game." Manjyome Black Thunder said.

Judai smirked. He thinks that this is also what happened to him before.

Back in the Different World, Judai remembered that in order to save Johan, he had to duel so many enemies and protect his friends from danger in that world. But what surprises him is this flashback:

Flashback

Judai had already arrived in the place where his Sonic Duck had taken him. And then, Jim and O'brien, along with their Sonic Ducks, also arrived in that place.

Then Jim said, "Hey Judai! Wait! Everybody hasn't arrived yet. Something might happen during their mid way."

"I see. It's bad but could you please return and go after them?" Judai said.

"What? Are you saying that it is fine whatever everyone is gonna be?" Jim asked.

"Don't forget about friends who has been acting together. In order to achieve purpose at this dimension, power of everybody is necessary. Until we return and come back, wait here!" O'brien said.

"Ah, I see!" Judai said as Jim and O'brien went back to find the others.

But instead of following O'brien's orders, he moved in his position and went inside the castle. He remembered what happened to Johan and he thinks that if he didn't move now, his way on finding Johan will be useless.

--after the battle with Bronn--

Judai gasps heavily. He is really tired on his duel with Bronn because he thinks that he used all his energy to defeat Bronn.

Then, Jim, O'brien and Sho appeared at the back of Judai. Judai turned around to see Jim and O'brien along with his best bud, Sho.

"Judai!" O'brien said.

"Are you okay?" Jim said.

"Aniki." Sho said.

"Sho, you are safe, aren't you?" Judai said.

"Aniki, Johan and everyone are dead." Sho said.

Judai is afraid to say so, but he just said, "Ah… But at least I will avenge them. Sho… It's really good to see you."

After Judai said those things, Sho's kanji, doubt (in Japanese: Gi), appeared in Sho's left cheek. Then he says, "That… What sincere words! Aniki… Aniki has been acting yourself. Up till now, you have been like the sun, given others strength, and made impossibility possible. But all of those are misunderstanding. Aniki is the type that it is okay as long as you are alright. It doesn't matter who is sacrificed as long as it's good for the goal! Even if you can beat enemies, everyone who were sacrificed won't return! Aniki always duel for your own satisfaction!"

Judai looks surprised and said, "Sho…" but was cut off by Sho.

"Don't call me! One like aniki! One like aniki!" Sho said. Then he runs away.

"Wait! Just a moment!" Jim said as he went after Sho. O'brien was supposed to follow Jim and Sho but was interrupted by Judai's voice.

"O'brien!"

"I did tell you to wait." O'brien said with his back turned.

"Am I wrong?" asked Judai.

"Think by your own!" O'brien said as he went after Jim and Sho.

Judai falls onto his knees and becomes more confused.

"Why… What did I do wrong? I did something that I thought was right. But… despite that… whatever… everyone been by my side. Damn! Damn! Damn it! I… what did I do wrong?" Judai said.

End Flashback

Judai went back to reality and his head had hurt once again. Judai realizes that if he still keeps on remembering those flashbacks back at the Different World, his head will always hurt. Then, Judai touched his head with his right hand and felt pain.

"Come on, Judai!" Manjyome Black Thunder said.

Then, both of them get ready and they started the game.

"DUEL!" both of them said in unison.

Manjyome Black Thunder- 4000 LP

Judai- 4000 LP

"It's my turn. Draw!" Judai said.

"I summon E-hero Sparkman (ATK 1600/DEF 1400) in attack position! I put one card face-down. Turn end."

"My turn. Draw!" Manjyome Black Thunder said as he looks at his drawn card. Manjyome Black Thunder smirked.

"I now summon Soul Tiger (ATK 0/DEF 2100) in defense position! I put two cards face-down. Turn end."

"My turn. Draw!" Judai said as he draws a card. He looks at it and it was none other than the card, Neo, the Elemental God (ATK ?/DEF ?). Then he called Judai's attention and says, "Judai. Be careful with your opponent. I can sense a dark power in his deck. Maybe a powerful monster."

"Don't worry, Neo! I promise, I will win this duel no matter what." Judai said and he smiled.

Neo in his human form can see that Judai is a very good duelist. Then, Judai continued his turn.

"I activate my spell card, Polymerization to fuse E-hero Sparkman and E-hero Clayman (ATK 800/DEF 2000) to form E-hero Thunder Giant (ATK 2400/DEF 1500) in attack position! Go, E-hero Thunder Giant! Voltic Thunder!"

E-hero Thunder Giant attacked Soul Tiger and was destroyed. Since Soul Tiger is in defense position, no Life Point damage went into Manjyome Black Thunder.

"I put one card face-down. Turn end."

A/N: Those who are really good at Duel Monsters might notice this. You see, in this Judai's play, Judai didn't activate the effect of E-hero Thunder Giant to discard one card to destroy one monster on the opponent's field because the remaining card in Judai's hand is Neo, the Elemental God. Neo, the Elemental God's effect is to tribute ALL monsters with Elemental Hero in its name. It cannot be special summoned in the graveyard. So, Judai didn't discard Neo because he needs it in his next few turns.

"My turn. Draw!" Manjyome Black Thunder said as he look at his drawn card.

"I summon Armed Dragon LV 3 (ATK 1200/DEF 900) in defense position! I put one card face-down. Turn end."

"My turn. Draw!" Judai said. Another flashback went to his mind.

Flashback

It was the battle of Bronn V.S. Judai.

Judai has E-hero Sparkman on the field and Bronn had Broww, Huntsman of Dark World (ATK 1400/DEF 800) in attack position and the permanent spell card, Sacred Scriptures of Wickedness.

"Go, E-hero Sparkman! Attack Broww, Huntsman of Dark World! Spark Crush!" Judai said as E-hero Sparkman launches his attack towards Broww, Huntsman of Dark World and was destroyed and decreases Bronn's Life Points by 200.

Bronn- 3800 LP

Judai- 4000 LP

At this moment, Bronn activates his quick-play spell card, Wicked Doctrine- Rage from his deck. Judai doubts what the text, Rage, on the card means.

Meanwhile, he notices Manjyome gaining his consciousness and trying to get up. Manjyome finds his wrists locked with shackles and sees Fubuki, Asuka and Kenzan lying down along his side.

"Manjyome! Are you okay up there?" Judai shouted so that Manjyome could hear.

Manjyome realizes that Judai is in a mid of a duel. This even makes him angrier and he can no longer keep his feeling. So, he shouted,

"Judai! You idiot! Didn't you come here with us to save Johan? But you acted on your own from the start and didn't care about us at all in the first place!"

"No it's…" Judai said but was cut off by Manjyome.

"No! You're the one who would do it. You always thought about yourself. It's us who are fools who trusted you because of your friendship!"

These words seem to break down their friendship. Manjyome seems to satisfy Rage text on his neck completely. Rage text appears in a ball, leaves Manjyome's neck, and moves into Sacred Scriptures of Wickedness. Then, the body of Manjyome turns into particles of light and disappears.

End Flashback

Judai's head had hurt again and he touches it with his right hand. He really can't help on thinking about those flashbacks all over again.

Episode 34

Second Period


"Come on, Judai! It's your turn!" Manjyome Black Thunder said causing Judai to snap out on his train of thoughts.

Judai looked at his cards again. It was Neo, the Elemental God and his drawn card awhile ago, Skyscraper.

"Alright! I activate my field spell card, Skyscraper! And now attack, E-hero Thunder Giant! Attack his Armed Dragon LV 3!" Judai said.

But, the face-down card of Manjyome Black Thunder, suddenly opened.

"Face-down card open! Negate Attack!" Manjyome Black Thunder said and the attack of E-hero Thunder Giant had been negated and he turned back to his position.

"Turn end."

"My turn. Draw!" Manjyome Black Thunder said as he draws a card.

"I now activate the effect of Armed Dragon LV 3! I can discard this card to the graveyard in order to special summon Armed Dragon LV 5 (ATK 2400/DEF 1700) in attack position! Turn end."

Before Judai declares his next turn, Manjyome Black Thunder spoke again.

"Judai, why don't you just surrender? You know, even though you found Asuka, you and the others' efforts will just be useless. Master Shadow will win and will destroy--" Manjyome Black Thunder was cut off by Judai.

"Shut up!"

"Nani?!"

"I told you before, Manjyome, that I will do anything just for my friends not to get hurt. Especially Asuka because she is important to me. And I promise myself that I will defeat you in this duel, and all of us will save Asuka, wherever she is now." Judai said in a mad attitude.

Manjyome Black Thunder was surprised in Judai's outburst but at the same time, happy to see it because this is what Shadow had been waiting for.

Shadow said that if the Three Dueling Knights show off their darkness powers, even though no one can see it, more power will transform to the card of Shadow in order to revive the ultimate dark monster, Diabound.

A/N: I got this idea from episode 135. According to Bronn, if he will sacrifice all the five Wicked Doctrines, Doubt – Gi, Sadness – Hi, Anguish – Ku, Rage – Ikari and Hatred – Zou, he can revive or activate the Super Fusion card (Super Fusion's effect is not yet been translated by Janime). Those Wicked Doctrines or what they call as 'kanji', belongs to Sho (Doubt – Gi), Asuka (Sadness – Hi), Fubuki (Anguish – Ku), Manjyome (Rage – Ikari) and Kenzan (Hatred – Zou). In my fanfic, darkness powers or what I call as 'dark selves' of humans and monsters that are here in Serpentholm, are the key to go to the mysterious card of Shadow to revive Diabound.

--meanwhile outside the shield--

While Judai and Manjyome Black Thunder are dueling, Johan, Ken, Garrin, Thestalos, Mobius, Shinja and some other soldiers are fighting against the army of Manjyome Black Thunder, since they got nothing to do anyway.

They can't see the duel and more importantly, Johan and Ken needs to practice their abilities.

While they are fighting, Ken said, "Johan, what do you think is going on in the duel of Judai? And who is that Manjyome anyway?" then he continues to fight again with those monsters.

Johan stopped when he had a chance and told Ken, "For your first question, I don't know. But I'm sure Judai will win. And for your second question…" Johan stopped for a minute to attack the monster behind him.

"… Manjyome is one of our friends. He is a good guy, but according to the others he is always hot-headed. He really envies Judai a lot for his good skills, but I think that was before. Now, I think they are already friends." Johan said and he continued to fight.

A/N: Ok, let's just say in this situation of Johan and Ken that they are always fighting with the monsters. They are just going to stop, if they are going to say something or maybe talking while fighting.

--back inside the dark shield--

"My turn. Draw!" Judai said as he draws a card and gets E-hero Avian.

"I summon E-hero Avian (ATK 1000/DEF 1000) in defense position! Turn end."

"My turn. Draw!" Manjyome Black Thunder said as he draws a card and gets Armed Dragon LV 7.

Manjyome Black Thunder smirked. "Go, Armed Dragon LV 5! Attack his E-hero Avian!" Manjyome Black Thunder commanded as Armed Dragon LV 5 did his attack and destroyed E-hero Avian.

Since E-hero Avian is in defense position, no Life Points damage had went into Judai's Life Points.

"And now, I activate Armed Dragon LV 5's effect! With its effect, after I attack a monster on my opponent's field as a result of battle, I can discard this card to special summon Armed Dragon LV 7 (ATK 2800/DEF 1000) in attack position! Turn end."

"My turn. Draw!" Judai said and he gets the spell card, H-Heat Heart.

Neo calls Judai's attention again and said, "Judai, you have to summon me now. We have no more choice. Armed Dragon LV 7 is much more powerful than any of our monsters."

Judai nodded and said, "Alright, Manjyome. I'm over my limit. I don't have to hide this card in my hand anymore. I now tribute all of my E-hero monsters in my hand, field and deck to special summon Neo, the Elemental God (ATK ?/DEF ?) in attack position! And now, I activate my spell card, H-Heat Heart and equip it to Neo, the Elemental God!"

A/N: Neo, the Elemental God is considered as a Fire-Type, Water-Type, Wind-Type and an Earth-Type monster. He is also considered as an Elemental-Hero.

"With this spell card, Neo, the Elemental God's ATK points are increased by 500 points! And now, I activate my monster's effect! With its effect, it can increase its ATK by the total number of E-hero monsters in my graveyard. There are 24 of them so, the total attack points of Neo, the Elemental God is 24500!"

A/N: Fusion-type monsters of Judai such as E-hero Flame Wingman, are considered in the effect of Neo, the Elemental God.

"Alright! Go Neo, the Elemental God! Attack his Armed Dragon LV 7 with your Elemental Sword Slash!" Judai commanded.

But then, Neo's attack stopped as the face-down of Manjyome Black Thunder suddenly opened.

"Face-down card, open! Shield Attack!" Manjyome Black Thunder said as Neo went back to his position in defense mode.

"Nani?! Why did Neo went into defense mode?"

"It's because of my trap card, Shield Attack. With its effect, if one of my opponent's monsters attacked one of my own, I can activate this card and sent the attacking monster in defense position!"

Judai was annoyed at Manjyome Black Thunder.

"Turn end."

"My turn. Draw!" Manjyome Black Thunder said as he draws a card and gets his ultimate dark ace card.

Then he smirked and said, "This is your end, Judai Yuki! I now discard Armed Dragon LV 7…"

"Nani?! You discard Armed Dragon LV 7? I thought that there are no more monsters higher than Armed Dragon LV 7?"

"That's what you think, Judai." Manjyome Black Thunder said as Judai looks a bit surprised on his statement.

"You see, before I became Black Thunder, Master Shadow gave me a dark ace card. I was thrilled when I saw this card, so I joined Master Shadow and the Dark Duelists," Manjyome Black Thunder paused for awhile to laugh at this situation of Judai.

"I now summon my dark ace card, Armed Dragon LV Infinity (ATK infinite/ DEF infinite) in attack position!" Manjyome Black Thunder said as he raises the card up.

A dark aura circled in the field, causing a big wind. Judai put his right arm in his face to shield himself from the strong wind. Then, a blue dragon with black devilish wings, blue metal hands and feet and had fierce looking yellow eyes appeared on Manjyome Black Thunder's field.

Judai was shocked to see the most powerful Armed Dragon he had ever seen.

"I will let you taste the power of the most powerful Armed Dragon! Go Armed Dragon LV Infinity! Infinite Blast!"

Armed Dragon LV Infinity pulled out a black massive energy from its mouth and hitted Neo, the Elemental God. Neo, however, shielded himself with his sword.

Neo knows that he will be destroyed at this turn, so he looked back at Judai and said, "Judai, I will not let you die in this duel, yet. Give Manjyome your real strength in battle and defeat him in a battle. Please, Judai."

"Neo!" Judai shouted, but the scream of Judai didn't work.

After the last words of Neo, an explosion went into the field of Judai and Neo was destroyed. But then, a yellow shield went to the side of Judai without Manjyome Black Thunder even knowing. After a very big explosion, the darkness field disappeared and they are back at Hero City.

Manjyome Black Thunder chuckled evilly. "This duel is over, Judai." Manjyome Black Thunder said, or so he thought.

The smoke cleared to reveal that Judai is still alive and was falling to his knees. His Life Points might be 0, but he is still alive, thanks to Neo.

Johan and Ken went straight to Judai to help him up. When they are already at the position of Judai, they were very happy that Judai is still moving and is alive. Then, Judai tried to get up. While he is getting up, he said, "Hey, Manjyome! This game is not over yet."

Manjyome Black Thunder stopped and turned back. He was surprised that Judai is still alive since his Life Points already become 0 and should have died already because of the Life-or-Death shadow game.

"I will now battle you with my sword skills! Come on, Manjyome! This is what you want, right?" Judai continued and in his last phrase, his evilly golden eyes had appeared again.

Johan and Ken were surprised to see this side of Judai. They have never seen this before.

Judai pulled out his sword from his back and started to attack Manjyome Black Thunder. Manjyome Black Thunder just shielded himself with his metal arms and said, "Hah! Is that your best?" then he tried to attack Judai directly, but Judai jumped back.

Then, they started to attack and defend themselves. More slashing and more sounds that metals go against each other.

Johan and Ken wanted to stop them but was stopped by Garrin.

"Johan, Ken leave them alone. This is a battle between warriors." Garrin said.

"Here in Serpentholm, we always respect those who are battling. Win or lose, it is not anyone's fault. They should learn how to accept their defeat." Thestalos added.

Johan and Ken notice this and decided to let them be. They understand the feeling of a respect battle. So, they didn't stop Manjyome Black Thunder and Judai's battle.

While all of them are busy watching Manjyome Black Thunder and Judai go against each other, Mobius sneaked out of the group and disappeared.

--at the Tower of Destruction--

Shadow is still sitting in his chair at his own dark throne room and was waiting for a good news from Jinzo (ATK 2400/DEF 1500), one of the messengers of the Matic City.

A/N: Matic City was taken control by Lotus and was the leader before he died. As you all know, Matic City is a city where all Machine-Type monsters live and they saw that Shadow is powerful. So, they respect him.

After hours of waiting, Jinzo finally arrived.

Before Jinzo would say something, he bowed first. Then, he said, "Shadow-sama, the army of Manjyome Black Thunder had been destroyed because of the warriors of Hero City."

Shadow just chuckled. "What happened to Manjyome-kun? Where is he?" Shadow asked.

"Manjyome-sama is still battling with one of the Three Dueling Knights. But it is not a duel, Shadow-sama. It's a real battle. With sword skills and everything. And there is one more news, Shadow-sama. Judai, one of the Three Dueling Knights, looks incredibly scary with his yellow eyes."

"Yellow eyes?" Shadow said as he begun to laugh evilly.

Jinzo is confused and asked, "What is so funny, Shadow-sama?"

"Just let them be, Jinzo. Watch their every move, especially Judai."

"But what if Manjyome-sama lose and became one of the Protectors again?"

"I don't care! As long as Manjyome-kun let Judai with his evilly golden eyes, then, that is alright with me. Whether he lose or not."

"Yes sir." Jinzo finally said as he walked off the room and into the Hero City.

Then, a few minutes later, Shadow's friend, Mobius came into the throne room.

Shadow was really expecting Mobius to come then he said, "Ah, Mobius! Long time no see!"

"Yeah. Master Exodia was really scary! I think I really don't want to see that monster ever again!"

Then, both friends started to laugh.

Shadow interrupted their 'party' and said, "So, you saw those three duelists that I'm telling you about, right?"

"Yes. Who wouldn't thought Judai-kun, Johan-kun and Ken-kun would look just like the Three Mystical Knights."

"Well, they are the sons of the Three Mystical Knights."

Then, both of them started to laugh again.

A few seconds later, Mobius finally said, "Well, I gotta go. I won't like to miss a great battle of Manjyome-kun and Judai-kun."

Mobius started to walk off and he disappeared.

Shadow just smirked evilly.

'This plan on reviving Master Diabound is getting to work. Judai-kun going in his evilly golden eyes limit again. Johan-kun also activated his own dark side with his fiery blue eyes. Hmm? I wonder what Ken-kun will have in his limit.' Shadow thought so himself as he laughed evilly again.

--back at Hero City--

Judai and Manjyome Black Thunder's battle is already done after a few minutes of slashing and crashing.

And the winner is none other than, Judai.

Johan, Ken and the other masters are happy to see Judai win. Manjyome had returned to his real body and no more possessing of anybody to him. But, of course, Manjyome suddenly felt unconscious and fell to the ground. The other masters, helped Manjyome while Johan and Ken helped Judai.

At this point, Judai's evilly golden eyes had disappeared and Judai gasps heavily.

"Hey, Judai. You alright?" Johan asked and Judai nodded before he passed out again.

Johan and Ken helped Judai up and went back to King Atem's castle with the help of Ken's Black Skull Dragon (ATK 3200/DEF 2500).
