Hello everyone, and Happy Thanksgiving! Today is not too bad for me. Me and my mate only have one set of relatives to visit, which is my dad and step mom, so that's pretty good. Last night, we saw my mom, grandmother, grandfather (at the hospital still…), sister, and her boyfriend. We had a nice get together. I'll get to see them again Friday, although my mate can't go. Poor thing, she had to work today and tomorrow, which truly sucks.

Story wise, since I've been home, I haven't done too much writing on anything. Lol, I write like crazy at work, but home, I kind of relax I suppose. I do plan on writing some though, and seeing if I can get some ideas for the sequel for this story. I'm hoping to, plus to name it… We'll see I suppose, lol.

Last time, Chazz defeated Axel with the help of The Winged Dragon of Ra, and the help of his Ojamas who knew the chant. Afterwards, Chazz passed out, but the group keeps moving on. Legato was seen being furious with Zell, meaning that partnership maybe a bit more rocky than it first seemed, plus Legato seems to have someone in mind for stopping whoever goes after Anubis… Now it's Jaden's turn to battle it out with the guardian for Slifer. Will Jaden make it through this test, or will this be the Slifer Slackers final duel?

Alright, time once again for the best part! Review Time!!!

Nathan: Thank you, I'm glad you liked the end of the duel. I had thought of doing point-to-point, but eh, I figured it was more entertaining with the Ojamas helping Chazz unlock Ra instead. So true, stuff like that doesn't happen on the show normally. Lol, yeah, no one in their right mind would probably sacrifice Horus LV8 for something else or to power up a monster. It's just insane, lol. You're right about the Horus not being a Pyro type. That was my mistake, which I didn't realize it. I'd say it's more of a lapse of memory for me, lol. LOL! Yes, he needs a submit button for his mini-fic.

Ultimate Legendary Master: Thanks. Yep, next up is Jaden for Slifer the Sky Dragon. Nah, we're not having anyone over for Thanksgiving. Who'd want to stay with half demons? Lol, but really, we're going to my dad and step mom's today instead, which is cool. Happy Thanksgiving to you too!

Isis the Sphinx: Do you know for a fact that that's Yugi? It could be some other kid with strange hair… Thanks for the comments.

Knives91: Thanks, and yes, nothing like a good scream to make the chapter more enjoyable, lol.

Metal Overlord 2.0: Puppy… (/Eyes begin to turn red, with fangs lengthening and claws growing out, and hair floating in the air.\) (/Slashes Yami Marik's spiky hair down to a flat top hair cut and shreds his cape.\) Wanna call me a puppy again… (/Calms down thanks to sword at hip.\) Be happy I didn't sick my mate on you. She'd love to clean her claws on you, hehe. Ah yes, back to the review. It's cool about sharing the spotlight. It looks like a nice duel so far. Thanks about the chapter. I liked the Ojamas helping out with the chant too. It made them seem more useful than before, lol. Yes, two Egyptian God Cards down, two to go. Thanks for the review once more.

x-knight20: Thanks. Is it Yugi though? You never know, could be some other strange person with spiky hair… Yeah, you can use Anubis, but I do ask that you credit me as the one who made the card. Just mention it once or something at the top, or whatever. And thank you for asking first. Some people just take and don't ask. I like to ask others myself to borrow the names or whatever. Thanks once more.

ardee: Lol, nice hacking. Yes, Ra had to make some kind of appearance, lol. But yeah, the Ojamas helping out was cool. True, Ra wasn't that strong, but it's all the man had to work with, lol. Good job on being the 300th reviewer. Thanks for the review.

Alright, that's it for today. Now I must be off, for I have many things to do before my mate gets home. At any rate, take care all and have a Happy Thanksgiving. I'll be back tomorrow once more, if I wake up from eating all that food, lol. Enjoy!

Chapter 56

Slowly trekking through the forest, Illidan led the group of Jaden and Alexis towards the shrines once more. The group was somewhat quiet, which was different for once.

Breaking the silence, Jaden asked "So, will Chazz be alright?"

Lightly smiling, Illidan glanced over his shoulder and replied "Yes, he'll be fine. He just needs some rest. I'm surprised he didn't pass out during his duel with Axel really."

"Chazz is too hard headed to do that." Alexis smartly responded.

Chuckling, Jaden added "Yeah, he'd rather let the Ojamas torture him for life than pass out in the middle of a duel."

"That would be nice to see." Alexis slyly remarked.

Lightly chuckling at the two's comments, Illidan glanced up, but decided to ask a question after thinking for a moment.

"Jaden, I was wondering about your Neo-Spacians. You said you won them at Pegasus's tournament during the summer, right?"

"Sure did, and it was a sweet set of duels to win them." Jaden responded happily.

Lightly frowning, Illidan asked "Did the cards ever react to you?"

Smiling, Jaden nodded, saying "Yeah, when I first touched them, it seemed like I was transported to a place in space. There, I saw all the monsters I had just received. It was pretty freaky, but also pretty cool. They talked with me and explained that they had been summoned to Earth in order to help save it from a great impending darkness."

Sighing, he added "At the time, I didn't understand what they were talking about, but now I get it. The darkness they spoke of was Legato."

"It's alright Jaden." Illidan consoled. "None of us knew that Legato would cause trouble. We can't fix the past, but the future is still fixable. So, let's keep going."

Smiling, Jaden nodded and said "Right."

Softly smiling, Illidan glanced ahead and saw they had arrived at the shrines once more. "We're here."

Walking up to the area where the last shrine was, Illidan held out his hand, sending out a small bit of Shadow Magic. Momentarily later, the shroud cloaking the shrine lowered and the barrier, along with the shrine, became visible. Holding his hand still out, Illidan willed the barrier away, releasing the shrine from it's protection.

Nodding to Jaden, he said "Go ahead Jaden, open it up."

"Right." Jaden simply responded.

Making his way to the shrine, Jaden pulled his Shadow Pendant over his head and held out it towards the shrine. Like the other shrines, the door glowed lightly and opened.

Taking the lead, Illidan began walking down the dark corridor. Behind him, Jaden and Alexis followed silently. The torches along the walls each sparked to life as the group continued moving deeper and deeper into the shrine.

Finally arriving at the large room, the room lit up, revealing a figure in the far corner fencing with a chunk of stone. Hearing the sound of footsteps, the figure stopped fencing and glanced at the three that had just entered his room.

Studying the three, the figure approached slowly. The closer he got, the better the view of the figure became. The group discovered that the figure approaching had black ebony shiny armor with a mixture of gold trim, as well as a few blotches of red, mostly around his helmet. In his right hand was a powerful bronze colored sword, and in his left was a strong shield with black and gold coloring. On his shoulders were two golden backward sweeping spikes. His face had a light shade of green. The helmet that protected his head had three flowing spikes pointing behind him, and coming out from under it in the back was a braid of brown hair.

Staring at the three, the figure asked aloud "Who disturbs this shrine?"

Smiling, Illidan stepped forward, saying "I disturb it."

Eyeing Illidan, the figure took a moment to finally ask "Master Illidan? Is it really you?"

Nodding, Illidan simply replied "Yes, it is my old friend."

Sheathing his sword and slinging his shield onto his back, the figure stepped forward and hugged Illidan, saying "It is so good to see you Master!"

Hugging back, Illidan pulled back and said "It is good to see you too my friend. I see you're still training."

"Yes, I've been preparing myself for the last ten years, just in case I was ever needed to defend the card. Speaking of which, why are you here? You told me that you could not enter the shrine on your own, ever."

"Very true, I told you that." Illidan responded. "I didn't come alone. I came with help, and we've come for the card you hold."

Stepping back, the figure said "I see. Who has come for it?"

Motioning for the others to come closer, Illidan said "I'll get to that in a moment."

Once the two got closer, Illidan calmly said "Guys, I'd like to introduce you to the guardian of the Egyptian God Card, Slifer the Sky Dragon. This is Black Luster Soldier – Envoy of the Beginning."

"Oh wow! I thought he looked familiar! This is so totally sweet!" Jaden exclaimed.

Chuckling at the boy, the soldier turned serious once more, asking "Master, who has come to fight with me?"

"That would be me!" Jaden interrupted.

Eyeing Jaden, the soldier lightly smirked, asking "You are my opponent? Interesting."

"Jaden is your opponent. Don't take him lightly." Illidan admonished.

"We'll see." the soldier commented.

Speaking in a serious tone, the soldier asked "You do realize what is at stake if you challenge me for my card?"

Nodding, Jaden responded "I do, and I'm willing to take that risk. I challenge you for ownership of the Egyptian God Card, Slifer the Sky Dragon!"

"Very well, I accept. The rules are simple. Lose and you lose all of your Shadow Charms, along with your soul. Win though, and you shall be rewarded with the Egyptian God Card I guard."

Smiling, Jaden replied "Sounds good. Let's get started!"

Lightly chuckling at Jaden's enthusiasm, the soldier nodded, saying "Very well."

Moving into position, the soldier held out his arm, causing a strange glow to appear. Slowly, the glow lowered till a strange black Duel Disk formed. It didn't have a long tray either way for cards, but suddenly, it glowed and shot out two long blade sections, making room for cards. A deck then appeared in the soldier's right hand, which he quickly shuffled and jammed into the deck holder in the Duel Disk.

Smiling, Jaden pulled out his own deck and lowly said to his deck up close "Alright guys, let's go out there and win this one for Marie."

Appearing on Jaden's shoulder, the small brown creature with wings let out a small cheerful call, making Jaden smile. "We'll win this one Kuriboh."

Seeing the small creature, the soldier lightly smiled. "He has a Duel Spirit. Interesting…"

Getting serious, Jaden placed his deck into his Duel Disk, which instantly powered up. Bringing his left arm out, Jaden fully powered up the Duel Disk, causing the slot on it to shoot out.

"Get your game on!" Jaden called out, signifying the start of the duel.

Each drew their first five cards, and the soldier smiled, saying "I shall start this duel."

"Feel free to." Jaden kindly replied.

Nodding, the soldier drew a sixth card and said "I summon this, my Red Gadget (1300/1500)!"

A red machine creature with a large silver gear on it's back, gears on it's wrists, and large flat feet materialized onto the field.

"Thanks to Red Gadget's effect, when it's summoned, I get to add my Yellow Gadget from my deck to my hand."

Picking up his deck, the soldier sorted through till finally he found the card. Placing it in his left hand, the soldier then shuffled his deck and placed it back in the deck slot.

"To end, I shall lay two face down cards. Your move." (BLS-EOTB 8000, Jaden 8000)

Nodding, Jaden drew his card and smiled, saying "This is going to be a sweet duel, I can already tell! To kick things off on my end, I summon Elemental Hero Bubbleman (800/1200)!"

In a spray of bubbles, a man in a blue costume outfit with a long white cape, light blue boots, gloves, shoulder pads, and a helmet that covered all but his mouth. On his right wrist was a small gun attached that looked like the end of a water hose, and on his back was a set of water tanks.

"Since Bubbleman is all alone on my field, his effect kicks in, allowing me to draw two new cards."

Picking up two cards, Jaden examined them before grinning once more. "I play the spell Polymerization, which lets me fuse Bubbleman with Elemental Heroes Avian (1000/1000) and Sparkman (1600/1400) to create Elemental Hero Tempest (2800/2800)!"

With a small whirlwind, a green human like creature with white wings, a clawed left hand, a feather like armor appeared. On his head, he wore a crown of feathers that covered all but his mouth and cheeks. Beside of the green creature appeared a small electrical storm, from which came a blue human like creature with some gold armor. The man in blue wore a helmet that covered his entire head, but showed no signs of eye holes. On his back were two wing like structures that were mostly blue.

Once the two had appeared onto the field, the man in light blue leapt up to join the two and the three together began to swirl. A bright light filled the area, blinding everyone. The light finally began to dim and revealed a new figure where three once stood. The new figure had green hair, a blue visor that covered his face except for his mouth and cheeks, a pair of metallic wings on his back, and his right hand was replaced by some sort of blaster. His body was covered in blue metallic armor, with traces of some gold in places. The new figure let out a small battle cry and landed softly onto the field.

"Tempest, introduce yourself to Red Gadget with Glider Strike!"

Taking aim, the green haired warrior pointed his gun at the weaker machine creature. Blue energy began to gather around the tip of the blaster, signifying it was powering up. Placing his left hand on the blaster to steady it, the warrior released a shot of blue energy at the red machine creature.

Before the blast could make it halfway across the field, the soldier called out "I think we'll skip this introduction. I activate my trap, Threatening Roar! With this, you cannot declare an attack, which means the attack you just launched is cancelled out!"

A set of shockwaves, emanating from the trap card, struck the oncoming blast, instantly scattering the energy. The energy was soon dissipated, leaving the battle zone clear.

Slightly smirking at this, Jaden called out "That was pretty cool. I'll throw down two face downs and call it a turn." (BLS-EOTB 8000, Jaden 8000)

"Not bad mortal. I must admit, you summoned a rather strong monster, but it pales in comparison to what lives within my desk." the soldier boasted.

Nodding, Jaden replied "Maybe so, but that doesn't mean I'll lose."

Preparing to draw his card, the soldier responded "We'll see."

Taking his hand off of the card, the soldier smirked, saying "Before I actually draw, I activate my other trap card, Ultimate Offering. By paying 500 life points, I'm allowed to have an extra normal summon. Now then, I offer up 500 of my life points in order to summon this, my Yellow Gadget (1200/1200)!"

With a small glimmer, a yellow machine creature with a gear that was split in half down it's back appeared onto the field. From it's stomach to it's mid-back was a gear that appeared to be solid through and through.

"When I summon Yellow Gadget, it's effect goes off, allowing me to add Green Gadget from my deck to my hand. Now then, I pay another 500 life points and summon Green Gadget (1400/600)!"

Appearing onto the field was a green machine creature with a gear as the creature's mid-section. On each shoulder was a gear as well, seemingly holding it's arms to it's body.

Smiling at his field, the soldier drew his card, saying "Since I have the monsters I need now, I may proceed."

"You'll need more than those Gadget creatures to bring down Tempest." Jaden stated.

Smirking, the soldier lowly whispered "If only you knew what was coming."

Realizing what was about to happen, Illidan gritted his teeth. "He has it! This is bad! Jaden, hang on. This will truly be your ultimate test."

Seeing the three monsters, Jaden silently pondered what the soldier was up to. "None of those three monsters can beat Tempest, so why summon them? It's like he had to have all three… Wait, the number three! Of course, he needs three monsters to summon his Egyptian God Card!"

Noticing that Jaden's eyes had widened, the soldier chuckled, asking "You've figured it out, haven't you?"

Slowly nodding, Jaden replied "Yeah, I know now what you have planned."

"Then allow me to show you what I must do!" the soldier cried out. Pulling a card from his hand, he called out boldly "I sacrifice all three of my monsters in order to summon the almighty Egyptian God, Slifer the Sky Dragon (?/?)!"

All three monsters vanished in a quick flash. The room seemed to suddenly dim somewhat as clouds appeared above the field. Slowly, lowering from the clouds was a long red serpent like body with many spikes and a black underbelly. A set of sharp clawed feet appeared on the body, and finally the head of the creature dipped down from the clouds. On it's back were massive red wings, which gave a small beat. The head of the creature was extremely powerful. It had two sets of jaws, glowing yellow eyes, and a blue gem in the middle of it's forehead. With a massive roar, the entire shrine shook.

Staring wide eyed at the mighty dragon, Jaden murmured "So that's Slifer…"

"Indeed it is." the soldier stated. "Allow me to explain how his points are determined. For each card I hold in my hand, Slifer gains 1000 points. Since I hold three cards at the moment, that means Slifer has a total of 3000 points (3000/3000)!"

With a mighty roar, the dragon lifted it's head up, showing it's power. Glaring down at the field, the dragon let out another roar, trying to impose fear.

"Now, I play the spell Pot of Greed, allowing me to draw two new cards. Since I just drew two, Slifer gains more points (3000 – 1000 + 2000 4000/4000)!"

Again roaring with the increase of power, the dragon glared at the green haired warrior, seemingly stating what was to happen soon.

"Slifer the Sky Dragon, attack Elemental Hero Tempest with your Thunder Force!"

Letting out a mighty roar, the dragon opened it's jaws wide. Golden energy began to form within the dragon's bottom jaw, making the green haired warrior slightly apprehensive about his position. With little warning, the dragon released a stream of the golden energy straight at the green haired warrior, who crossed his arms in front of himself, hoping to block the blast.

Seeing the oncoming attack, Jaden called out "Tempest maybe in harms way, but he's going nowhere! I activate his special ability, which lets me send a card from my field to my Graveyard in order to let him survive a battle. I'll send my Insurance trap card to my Graveyard, so Tempest is safe!"

"You still take the damage though!" the soldier admonished.

The blast struck the green haired warrior, who held his ground, but the remainder of the blast bypassed him and struck Jaden, making him scream out in pain. Once the blast ended, Jaden stood with smoke rolling off of his body, but he looked up with a smile.

Smirking at Jaden's demeanor, the soldier said "I place one card face down, which ends my turn (4000 – 1000 3000/3000)." (BLS-EOTB 7000, Jaden 6800)

Drawing his card, Jaden smiled, saying "I think it's time for a change of scenery, so I play the field spell Skyscraper!"

Holding his Duel Disk up, he lightly tapped the slot on the end of it. A new slot shot out with room for only one card. Placing his card into it, the slot closed and the field began to glow. Without warning, the field turned to asphalt and buildings began firing out of the ground. Soon, the field was covered with buildings with bright lights, and a large moon in the sky.

Looking around, the soldier asked "What is this?"

Smiling at the soldier's confusion, Jaden replied "It's my Skyscraper field spell. In here, my Elemental Heroes gain 1000 extra attack points when they're weaker than their opponents. Now then, let's try a rematch between Tempest and Slifer, shall we? Tempest, show Slifer your Glider Strike (2800 + 1000 3800/2800)!"

Rising into the air, the green haired warrior locked onto his target and fired a stream of blue energy at the mighty red dragon.

Seeing it coming, the soldier cried out "Slifer, counterattack with Thunder Force!"

Roaring in response, the red dragon released a stream of golden energy, which met the blue blast in the middle of the field, sending out shockwaves from the force of the two powers. The blasts grinded on one another for a moment before the blue energy began to push the golden energy backwards.

"So long Slifer, it was fun knowing you!" Jaden smartly remarked.

Smirking at the remark, the soldier responded with "Slifer is not leaving yet, for I activate the trap card Jar of Greed! With this, I can draw one card into my hand."

Picking up a card, the soldier smirked again, saying "Since I just drew a card, Slifer's power increases once more (3000 + 1000 4000/4000)!"

"That means…" Jaden muttered.

"Slifer is strongest now! Finish off that creature now Slifer!" commanded the soldier.

Roaring with acknowledgement, the dragon released a larger amount of energy into it's stream. The blast increased in size, stopping the blue energy in it's tracks. Instantly, the flow began to reverse, with the blue energy hurriedly being pushed back towards the green haired warrior.

Just as the blast was about to hit, Jaden called out "Tempest isn't going anywhere though, for I send my other face down, the spell called Spell Calling, to my Graveyard!"

The blast soon hit after Jaden made his statement, making the green haired warrior cry out in some pain, but he managed to survive the blast. A bit of the blast made it past him, striking Jaden, causing him to cringe in pain.

Soon after the blast, Jaden regained his composure and said "I'll throw down a face down to end my turn." (BLS-EOTB 7000, Jaden 6600)

"He was so close…" Alexis murmured.

Nodding in agreement, Illidan replied "Yeah, he was, but Black Luster Soldier is tougher than he looks. He's always thinking at least three steps ahead of his opponents."

"Is he that smart?" Alexis asked with worry.

"He's always been a good strategist. Of the Duel Spirits that I was close to, he was by far the most cunning."

Worry began to cloud Alexis's mind even more. "Does Jaden stand a chance?" she asked half-heartedly, hoping not to get the answer she was worried she would.

Taking a moment to ponder her question, Illidan finally responded "I believe so. Jaden may not be a strategist, but he is strong. I have no doubt in Jaden's abilities. He just needs to play the game the way he always does."

A bit of worry seemed to leave Alexis, but still, she looked on with worried eyes. "Please Jaden, you've got to make it." she whispered.

Back on the field, the soldier drew his next card, saying "Since I just drew, Slifer's points rise (4000 + 1000 5000/5000). Now then, Slifer, attack Tempest with your Thunder Force! Show him no mercy!"

Roaring loudly, the dragon released a golden stream of energy straight at the green haired warrior. Seeing the blast coming, the warrior crossed his arms in front of his body, hoping to survive the blast.

"I'll use Tempest's effect again, so I send the spell Bubble Illusion to my Graveyard." Jaden called out just when the blast struck the green haired warrior.

Like always, the warrior managed to weather the blast, but at the same time, the remainder of the blast escaped him and struck Jaden, making Jaden fall to one knee panting.

Smirking at this, the soldier chided Jaden, saying "You should know by now this strategy of yours won't work. Just look at you, you're tiring."

In a quick motion, Jaden was back up and smiling. With a light chuckle, Jaden replied "I maybe taking hits, but I'm having the time of my life. This duel is so sweet!"

"Even after being hit a few times by Slifer, this boy still is excited about this duel. I've not seen such enthusiasm from anyone since Master Illidan fought me."

Sighing, the soldier slightly chuckled, saying "I see. Well then, I place a card face down, and set a monster (5000 – 2000 3000/3000). That shall do it for me." (BLS-EOTB 7000, Jaden 5400)

While drawing his card, Jaden smiled. Looking at it, Jaden examined the soldier's field. "He weakened Slifer again. Last time he did that, he thought he had me pinned down, but was prepared just in case. Should I let this opportunity slip by and not attack?"

Shaking his head, Jaden made up his mind. "First, I place a card face down. Now, let's try this one more time! Tempest, show Slifer how strong you are with Glider Strike!"

Letting out a battle cry, the green haired warrior fired a stream of blue energy from his blaster gun. The red dragon only glared at the blast, seemingly challenging it to hit him.

"I knew you'd do that, hence why I play this! The trap Acid Trap Hole! Thanks to this card, I can flip one face down monster face up. If it has defense points less than 2000, then that card is destroyed, but if it's higher, it's set again. But that don't matter, because the flip effect goes off by flipping the card. So, I choose my monster, which is none other than Morphing Jar (700/600)!"

Appearing on the field was a grey jar that seemed to have something within it. A sphere like creature with a wide grin that had yellow teeth and a single eyeball with a red iris slowly slid out of the pot.

"Since I flipped my monster, it's effect now goes off. Once flipped, we must discard our entire hands, and then we each draw five cards."

Simultaneously, Jaden and the soldier placed their hands into their Graveyard Slots, sending each of their cards on their way. Once again at the same time, the two picked up five cards, each glancing at their hands.

Smirking, the soldier called out "By the way, since my monster has less than 2000 defense points, it goes to my Graveyard due to Acid Trap Hole's effect."

Vanishing into a hole, the sphere creature let out a small scream and then a shattering was heard, signifying the end of the creature.

"Since I now have five cards in my hand, that means Slifer gets stronger once again (5000/5000)! Slifer, show his Tempest your Thunder Force!"

Opening it's massive jaws, the mighty red dragon released a burst of golden energy that easily overtook the blue burst of energy.

Seeing the oncoming blast, Jaden called out "I send my face down trap, Feather Storm, to the Grave for Tempest's effect!"

Glowing lightly, the green haired warrior crossed his arms in preparation for the oncoming blast. The golden blast soon struck the warrior, who managed to deflect a majority of the attack, but not all of it. The part that got past him struck Jaden hard, knocking him to one knee once again.

Panting lightly, Jaden struggled to his feet and said "I'll throw down a face down and summon Neo Spacian Glow Moss (300/900) in defense."

A small light blue glow formed on the field. From the glow came a creature with a light blue glow that had a circular head and slender body. Taking a knee, the creature crossed it's arms into a defensive stance.

Lightly chuckling, the soldier said "That was a foolish move. Thanks to doing that, you've triggered Slifer's special ability!"

"What special ability?" Jaden asked with worry visibly in his voice.

Sneering, the soldier replied "When you summon a monster, Slifer automatically strikes a monster with a blast of energy from it's second set of jaws that has a base of 2000 points. Pending on your monster's mode, the blast will drain 2000 points from the mode. If the monster has less than 2000 points in that mode, then the monster is destroyed. Now then, since you summoned your creature in defense, Slifer will blast it for 2000 defense points. Since it only has 900, your creature will be gone!"

When opening it's top set of jaws, smoke began to come out of the dragon's mouth. A sphere of purple energy soon formed in the dragon's open set of jaws. With minimum effort, the dragon launched the blast at the small light blue creature. The sphere struck it quickly, making the creature cry out in pain. It soon shattered, leaving Jaden alone again with the green haired warrior.

Growling with frustration, Jaden lowered his head and mumbled "That's all I have." (BLS-EOTB 7000, Jaden 4200)
