"I wonder what she's got in mind." Jaden thought to himself as Ashley stared at him evilly as the Dark Aura now covered her entire body.

"Foolish boy." Ashley stated. "You don't know what you're up against I play the activate the spell card…Pot of greed." Ashley stated as she showed Jaden the card spell card.

Pot Of Greed/Spell Card – Draw 2 cards from your deck

"This card allows me to draw two cards from my deck, and add them to my hand." She explained

"Next I summon the monster Infernity Beast to the field in attack mode!" she shouted as a white light appeared beside Infernity Archfiend, and Infernity Beast appeared on the field.

While you have no cards in your hand, this card gains the following effect: when this card attacks, your opponent cannot activate spell or traps cards until the end of the damage step.

"You're finished?" Ashley stated as her two monsters stared down Jaden's two monsters.

Jaden just smirked, as he looked at Ashley determined to bring her down, so he can get pass this, and back to his friends.

"We'll just have to see about that; now take your best shot!" Jaden shouted.

"With Pleasure." Ashley stated. "First I sacrifice my Infernity Beast to bring out the mighty SUMMONED SKULL!" Ashley shouted as her monster disappeared, and lightning struck the field, and Summoned Skull appeared in front of Ashley.

Summoned Skull – ATTRIBUTE /DARK, LV/6, ATK/2500, DEF/1200, TYPE/FIEND.
A fiend with dark powers for confusing the enemy. Among the Fiend-type monsters, this monster boasts considerable force.
"

Whoa." Jaden said as he witnessed the card that Yugi himself once played.

"I might be in trouble." He said to himself out loud.

"You got that right brat, now Summoned Skull attack his Avian!" shouted Ashley as Summoned skull let out a mighty roar, and sent a lightning blast towards Avian.

"Not so fast I activate the trap card, Hero Barrier!' Shouted Jaden as the trap card revealed itself.

Hero Barrier/Trap Card – If you control a face-up." Elemental Hero" monster, negate 1 attack from your monster your opponent controls.

"And thanks to this card, my Avian is protected." Jaden said smirking as Ashley gritted her teeth.

"Aright my move!' Jaden shouted. "And I hope it's a good one." He said quietly as he drew a card from his deck, and smirked when he looked at it.

"Sweet." Jaden said as Ashley looked at him curiously.

"What you drew something good out of that fake superhero deck of yours." Ashley commented.

"Nope I drew something better." Jaden stated as he placed the card in his hand, and picked up another one.

"Alright first I play the field spell card Fusion Gate." Jaden stated as he showed slapped the card on his duel disk.

Fusion Gate/Field Spell Card – As long as this card remains face-up on the field, a Fusion monster can be fusion Summoned without using "Polymerization" The Fusion Material monsters used in the Fusion Summon are not sent to the Graveyard, but are removed from play.

"With this card I'm allowed to summon any fusion monster without using Polymerization." Jaden explained as his smirk grew wider.

Ashley just gritted her teeth as she glared at Jaden intently.

"So what! that doesn't mean anything." Ashley stated.

"Oh it means a lot a whole lot." Jaden replied." Watch and I'll show you." He continued as he grabbed another card from his hand.

"Now I fuse Avian, and Burstinatrix to summon Elemental Hero Flare Wingman!" Jaden shouted as his two monsters fused, and a new monster appeared on the field.

E. Hero Flare Wingman – Attribute/Wind, LV/6, ATK/2100, DEF/1200, Type/Warrior/Fusion/Effect
"Elemental Hero Avian" + "Elemental Hero Burstinatrix"
This monster cannot be Special Summoned except by Fusion Summon. When this card destroys a monster by battle and sends it to the Graveyard, Inflict Damage to your opponent equal to the ATK of the destroyed monster.

Flare wingman floated down in front of the Jaden who was now relaxed, and calm like his old self.

"Impressive." Ashley stated." But you still have nothing to smile about, because your monster is still weaker than my Summoned Skull." She stated

"Yea he would be." Jaden said back shutting Ashley up." But he won't be because I activate my face down...Elemental Sword!' Shouted Jaden as the card revealed itself on the field.

Elemental Sword/Equip Spell Card – The equipped monster gains 800 ATK when battling with a monster of a different Attribute.

"What is that?" Ashley asked shocked, and confused at the card Jaden just played.

Jaden just smirked knowing that he caught Ashley off guard.

"It's a pretty sweet card, here's how it works when equipped to a monster, and it gives that monster an 800 ATK boost if it's battling a monster with a different attribute." Jaden explained as he pointed to his Elemental Hero Flame Wingman." And I equip it to Flame wingman!" Jaden shouted.

Flame Wingman ATK points increase by 800 points. 2100 – 2900

"How do you like it my deck now."Jaden commented as he pointed towards Ashley's Summoned Skull.

"Alright Flame Wingman attack summoned Skull...Sky Scraper Shot!" Shouted Jaden as Flame Wingman flew above Summoned Skull, and pointed its Dragon head arm at Summoned Skull, and released a Burst of flames towards it.

"I had enough of this I activate the trap card Mirror Force!" Ashley shouted

Mirror Force/Trap Card – Activate only when an opponent's monster declares an attack. Destroy all attack Position monsters your opponent controls.

"No!" Jaden shouted

"Yes my trap card not only blocks your attack, but it also sends it back at you!" Ashley shouted as the blasted was deflected right back at Jaden destroying his Flare Wingman, leaving him wide open for attack.

"Darn it." Jaden thought. "So close." He said in his head.

"What's wrong boy you were happy just a minute ago." Ashley taunted.

Jaden just gritted his teeth, and tried to think of another plan.

"Damn well I guess I have to try something else." Jaden said quietly thinking to himself

"I play Elemental Hero Bubbleman in defense mode, and my turn." Jaden said as Elemental Hero Bubbleman appeared on the field.

"Another useless hero." Ashley said rolling her eyes.

'They're not useless!" Jaden snapped." Their my pals, and they're going to help me defeat you, and get my friends back.

"Yea sure whatever." Ashley said

Elemental Hero Bubbleman – Attribute/Water, LV/4, ATK/800, DEF/1200, Type/Warrior/Effect

"Finally." Ashley stated as she drew a card from her deck, and looked at it, and smirked.

"Tell me boy how do you really feel about that blonde?" She asked without even looking at Jaden. "Do you really love her as much as you say you do?" She asked again.

Jaden was shocked at the question but regained his composure, and stood his ground.

"Don't worry about it, what's it matter to you anyway." Jaden snapped back

Ashley just chuckled evilly at Jaden's outburst, and slowly lifted her gaze from her card to meet with Jaden's soft brown eyes.

"Hmph you don't have to tell me kid I can already see it." Ashley said as Jaden glared at her.

"Don't get all defensive on me because you're girl broke your heart." Ashley continued.

"You were controlling her!" Jaden shouted

"Your point being." Ashley commented back."I can see why it was so easy to nearly drive you over the edge; your eyes completely tell the story about how you feel about that girl." Ashley continued,

Jaden knew she was telling the truth, and didn't try to fight the fact that he still was in love with Alexis Rhodes.

Ashley smirked, and it faded it away quickly.

"Love so gently, so caring, everyone wants it." She started." But then again who needs it." She said harshly as she glared at Jaden.

"Love only means pain, heartbreak, and depression." She continued." But you know that already don't you?" Ashley questioned as she glared at Jaden with Darkness starting to fill her eyes.

"What do you mean?' Jaden asked confused

"When that girl left you, you felt alone, with no one by your side."Ashley said." You felt like your life was meaningless didn't you?"Ashley said sternly.

Jaden couldn't lie he did feel those things, but deep down in his heart he knew no matter what Alexis did or said he wouldn't turn away from her.

"Yea I did feel those things, but even though my heart still belongs to Alexis." Jaden said slowly looking at the ground.

"You Insolent brats don't get it do you." Snapped Ashley." You think love is something that just comes, and goes, that you all deserve someone special in your life; well you're wrong, dead wrong." Ashley said as the dark aura around started to grow.

"Why does everyone have love ones except me!" She shouted." It's not fair seeing everyone else all happy, and cuddling with their loved ones, while I sit alone in the shadows" She finished.

"Ashley that isn't true." Jaden cut in trying to calm the dark seven duelists down.

"Everyone deserves to have someone in their life its natural." Jaden explained

"Shut up!" Ashley shouted." The one I had was taken away from me a long time ago." She said coldly as she glared at Jaden with hate in her eyes.

"And now I'm going to do the same thing to you, and your little friend." She said

Jaden eyes widened at the words that came from Ashley's mouth. Now it was serious, more serious then when the duel first started, and Jaden knew it.

"Don't worry Rakaia, I know you're holding your own against Alexis, and Luna but don't worry I'll beat her, and bring them back." Jaden thought as he gritted his teeth, and got ready for Ashley to make her move.

Meanwhile back at Duel Academy's main duel arena.

Rakaia was still glaring at Alexis who just attacked him, and dealt 1000 life points' worth of damage to his life points, causing it to drop from 5600, to 4600

"Now after I attacked, my Phoenixian is destroyed, and sent to the graveyard." Alexis stated but no matter it's all for the better.' She finished as her monster disappeared.

"Guys enough already snap out of it." Rakaia said. "This isn't you that Dark Seven duelist as you under her control, you guys can break free." He continued which only made Luna, and Alexis laugh.

"You wish dork." Alexis commented

"Yea we serve on the side of the winning team." Luna said as she smiled evilly at Rakaia.

"But Luna." Rakaia started

"But what dweeb, What don't you understand, after my duel with Alexis my eyes were opened to true power, the kind of power you could never hope to achieve." She spat

"That's right, now we're not just some mere second rate duelist anymore." Alexis stated. "Now we're acknowledge by our strength, and feared by our power." She continued.

"Feared by who?" Rakaia shot back. "What power are you talking about, the only power that matters at all right now, is the power that the Dark Seven need to revive Armageddon." He finished as Luna looked at Alexis.

"What's he talking about?" Luna asked

"It's nothing; the dork is just trying to weasel his way out of this duel." Alexis stated as she grabbed a card from her hand.

"I place one card face down, and end my turn." She stated as the card appeared face down in front of her.

"Alright I draw." Rakaia said as he pulled a card from his deck, and smirked when he saw what it was.

"What's so funny dweeb?" Luna questioned trying to see what the Dragon duelist had to smile about.

"Oh nothing, just know that I'm about to snap both of you back to reality." Rakaia stated." First I play the spell card Pot of greed!" He shouted.

"Which allows me to draw two cards from my deck, and place it in my hand." He continued. "Next I summon Red eyes Black Chick, to the field in attack mode!"Rakaia shouted as Red Eyes Black Chick appeared on the field.

Red Eyes Black Chick – ATTRIBUTE/DARK, LV/1, ATK/800. DEF/500, TYPE/DRAGON/EFFECT.
By sending this face- up card from the field to the Graveyard, special Summon 1 "Red Eyes B. Dragon from your hand.

"When will you learn that these little weaklings you call Dragons, are only going get hurt." Alexis said as she looked at the small dragon on the field.

"Oh don't worry he won't be little for long," Rakaia stated." Now by sending my Red eyes Black Chick to the graveyard, I'm allowed to special summon, another dragon monster from my hand, and Alexis I bet you know which one I'm thinking about."Rakaia taunted as he grabbed the card from his hand.

"You wouldn't." Alexis said knowing the combo he was about to play.

"That's right you guess it, the same move created by your brother Atticus!" Rakaia yelled. "I summon the Red Eyes Black Dragon!" he shouted as Red Eyes Black Chick disappeared from the field, and Red Eyes Black Dragon appeared in its place.

Red Eyes Black Dragon – ATTRIBUTE/DARK, LV/ 7, ATK/2400, DEF/2000, TYPE/DRAGON
A ferocious Dragon with a Deadly attack

Rakaia just smirked at his dragon.

"Don't you love it; they just grow up so fast." He stated, taunting both Alexis, and Luna.

Luna gritted her teeth, and glared at Rakaia.

"So you manage to pull something bigger, than a few inches out of your deck." She said harshly.

"Oh yea I manage to pull something out alright.' Rakaia stated as he pointed towards Luna." Sorry Luna but I have to do this." Rakaia said sadly.

"Red Eyes Black Dragon, attack her Harpie Lady with Inferno Fire Blast!" Rakaia shouted as Red Eyes reared its head back, and shot a Dark red energy ball, towards Harpie Lady destroying it instantly, dealing 800 points worth of damage to Luna's life points, also causing her to shield herself from the impact.

'I Hope that knock some sense into you." Rakaia said now his attitude more serious than before.

Luna LP – 3200

Luna gritted her teeth, and glared at Rakaia.

"Why you little!" She said frustrated at what just happened.

"Luna listen to me." Rakaia cut off. "I'm trying to help you guys, this isn't you come on you don't belong with the Darkness." Rakaia pleaded.

"Who are you to tell me where I belong!" Luna shouted. "You know nothing about me, and what I feel so how could you possibly tell me where I belong!" She shouted again.

"Because Luna, I know you better than you think I do, and Alexis you to." Rakaia stated trying to get the two Oblisk duelists to listen to him.

"You don't know anything about me Dork." Alexis stated coldly. "The only thing you could possibly know is that I used that Slifer friend of yours, and that's it." She said harshly.

Rakaia just shook his head in disbelief.

'That's not true Alexis, and you know it." Rakaia said looking straight at Alexis.

"How would you know?' Alexis shot back.

"Because you love him, you may not see it now but you do, I've seen you with him, how you blush at the simple things he do, how your whole face lights up every time he's around you, you're not fooling anybody, you love him, and you know it!" Rakaia shouted as his words struck Alexis hard causing her to take a step back, allowing Rakaia's words to enter her mind.

"Jaden?" She said slowly as a picture of Jaden doing his normal pose flashed in her mind.

"Don't listen to him!" Shouted Luna, snapping Alexis out of her trance.

"He's just playing with your mind, he doesn't know what love is, he's toying with your emotions." She said

Alexis shook her for bit to get the image of Jaden out of her mind

"Darn it almost got through." Rakaia thought as he glared at Luna for messing things up.

Alexis shook off Rakaia's words and glared back at him hatefully.

"You're going to regret that." Alexis said coldly. "You're going to regret playing with my emotions." She said again.

Rakaia gritted his teeth; he knew he couldn't play this out any longer, if he wanted his friends free he couldn't hold back.

"Alright then play time's over I'm going to free you guys one way or another." He stated.

"And if I don't we're all in for it." His mind raced, as he looked at Luna, and Alexis, who glared back at him intently ready to continue the duel.
