General Zargon: hey chapter 3!

Ryuuketsu: just get on with it

General Zargon:-pouts- fine here's the chapter

The arena filled up as crowler stood in the middle of the duel platform "allow me to introduce kin ichiro!" crowler said into the microphone as a red-haired teenager stepped into the duel arena "and now here is Jeremiah nightmare!" crowler finished as Jeremiah stepped into the arena.

Jeremiah slid his deck into his duel disk silently as he discreetly checked the stands and finally managed to spot Nathaniel sitting near the front 'time to start the show' he thought as crowler announced the start of the duel.

He then drew 5 cards and as he looked at them he thought 'hm, this should do nicely, I hope takato is in for a show' he smirked as he stated "I play 2 facedown cards and summon wolf of the abyss!" a pitch black wolf with red eyes appeared on the field.

WOLF OF THE ABYSS: ATK: 2200 DEF: 2400

The majority of the audience gasped and nightmaremon looked to see takato's reaction and saw him looking at the match with wonder in his eyes, he smirked and watched as his opponent started to sweat as he placed a monster in defense mode.

Jeremiah smirked again and looked at the card he drew and thought 'time to wind this down' he then announced "I play shadow destroyer!" a man wearing a black cloak and a black leather shirt and pants with 2 belts that crossed over his hips and black leather boots carrying a sword appeared on the field.

SHADOW DESTROYER: ATK: 2700 DEF: 3500

Several members of the audience looked ready to faint while a lot of them just looked on in awe "wait a minute! That monster is too powerful to be normal summoned!" kin complained and Jeremiah explained to the anxious audience "when there is another dark monster on my side of the field I can summon shadow destroyer" kin looked ready to die just then.

Jeremiah then said "wolf of the abyss, shadow destroyer attack!" the monsters obediently attacked and kin's life points went down.

KIN: 1300 JEREMIAH: 4000

He then announced "I'll activate a facedown now, dark repeat!" a card flipped face up and shadow destroyer attacked again and knocked kin's life points down to 0, the audience burst into applause as Jeremiah took a bow and left the arena.

Nathaniel ran up to Jeremiah and said "that was great! But did you have to finish him off so soon?" he ended his statement in disappointment and Jeremiah laughed and said "tell you what, I'll let you take a peek at my deck, how about that?" takato perked up at the promise and nodded franticly as they headed back to they're classes.

-----------------------With jaden--------------------------------------------

Jaden looked around at all the others who had spirit keys "so, what do you think of Jeremiah?" he asked and Zane replied "he may very well be a shadow rider" the others nodded and were just about to keep talking when chancellor Sheppard appeared.

Sheppard looked at all of them and sighed then said "trust me, he's no shadow rider even if his deck says otherwise" banner asked "how can you be so sure?" Sheppard gave a little grin and said "because he's the reason that there haven't been any strange happenings around here lately" the others looked shocked.

Chazz was the first to recover "how is that?" he asked and Sheppard replied "because the shadow riders are afraid of him" jaden asked "why is that?" Sheppard merely said "I can't tell you that but I can tell you that he's been here before" with that he walked away.

Syrus looked around and said "I think we should ask Nathaniel about this" the rest of the spirit key keepers nodded and Zane said "he's in my dorm so I think I should talk to him" they all agreed at that.

----------------------With Jeremiah and Nathaniel-------------------------------------

Jeremiah laughed as Nathaniel gobbled up his food and thought 'hard to believe that he used to be so shy' he shook his head with a small smile as Nathaniel finished up and gave a contented sigh as he leaned back.

Nathaniel yawned and stood up with Jeremiah's help "I think I'm sleepy" he stated as he yawned again as Jeremiah laughed and stated "come on, I'll help you to your room" he then proceeded to guide a very sleepy takato to the obelisk dorm.

Jeremiah gave a small smile as he tucked takato into bed and said "sweet dreams takato" he stood up and walked to the door before looking back and thinking 'he looks so innocent when he's sleeping' he gave another smile before walking out the door.

General Zargon: here's the chapter!

Ryuuketsu: just get to the review responses

General Zargon:-pout- fine here's the review responses

To LanHikari2000x:

General Zargon: to answer your question it's because nightmaremon viewed this as a new start and plus, as chancellor Sheppard said "he's been there before" so he didn't want to be suspicious about him if he chose the same name, and I'm not entirely sure!

To Daniel14541:

General Zargon: thank you for the vote!

Ryuuketsu: for the sake of the author's sanity continue to vote!

General Zargon: yeah and continue to R&R!
