Warning a certain part of this chapter may be thought of as disturbing, but I'm sure that you all can handle it.

By the way I'd like to thank the few who've commented and that I really appreciate the response I got. Thank you and I apologise ahead of time I don't feel I did to well with this chapter but I needed it to get to a certain point in order for the story to progress

But I will make up for it in the next couple of chapter I swear on the life of Jaden!

----

Why would he live here? In all places of Duel Academy why would Rox live here?

Chazz Princeton was currently walking around the grounds of a muddy field covered with a blanket of dark mist. Was this the premonition of a tormentor or was it simply the will of Rox? He didn't know, he didn't question it. Because now he could accept almost anything after what he had done. Nothing was more real than the guilt of death.

"Why did you come here?"

Chazz was surprised no doubt with the sudden words. But what surprised him more was that there was no Rox standing in the cloud of dark mist. It was Rox's voice but the voice had echoed through his head.

"Answer…why…"

"No you answer!" Chazz snapped before taking a step backwards. Two eyes had suddenly appeared in the mist. Two piercing red eyes that lusted for the pure pumping blood that ran through Chazz's body.

"Don't tell me what to do"

Rox's voice spoke but yet despite this sudden appearance of the eyes there was no mouth. It was as if the mist itself was talking to him.

"I saw him! What your buddy did to Atticus the yesterday!" Chazz yelled out his eyes fixed in a glare and his hands thrust out in a threatening manner to his sides. Rox sighed in the mist and a cold breath of air suddenly passed through Chazz causing him to shiver.

"He was an idiot…he's not allowed to use that against a mortal"

"Mortal? Your saying that you three aren't mortal?" Chazz asked with a blink dropping his arms to his sides as he looked at the red eyes that now stared blankly at him.

"You're talking to a pair of eyes and you're noticing that now?"

Chazz's face seemed to burn from sudden embarrassment before growling and moving on to his next question; "That Black Dog…what was that?"

"His heart"

The reply was simple but it still made Chazz's mouth drop and a look of confusion sweep over his face.

"What?" He asked trying to get his head around what had just been said.

"You heard me…that is a monster that is made from him, it's his soul and fate all sealed into a small piece of paper…"

Chazz stared for a little longer at the eyes that were now staring at him with a strong blank stare. He tried to get a few words out before answering; "You are joking right?"

"I wish I was…but like technology a weapon that powerful had to evolve with the motives of our enemies"

Rox's rolled his two floating red eyes before sighing heavily.

"I personally thought that turning the heart into a sword is more ominous than a card but its like the saying goes cards are the invention of Satan"

Chazz continued to stare. His mouth was now shut but it was obvious he was still unable to contemplate what Rox was saying. Another sigh came from Rox.

"We are unlike most people…we have been picked out to have our lives toyed with in ways that would break the average person"

The eyes now glared at Chazz in a threatening manner. They were accusing and would easily break the glance of any normal person.

"You think you're horrified by you killing that woman? I've had to deal with killing for so long I question why I still live…"

"What are you!" Chazz yelled viciously at Rox. It was louder than anyone had ever yelled at the three strange people. Rox's eyes widened in sudden surprise from the sudden outburst from Chazz that was now panting heavily. "Stop stalling and tell me!"

There was a long silence before Rox spoke slowly, his eyes closed as he spoke the calm words.

"This may sound corny…but were if you will a misguided star of justice...we are literal double edged swords"

"You mean your good and evil?" Chazz asked regaining his breath slowly.

"No were good but were considered evil" He replied with a bitterness in his voice.

"Then what are you Rox?" Chazz asked before suddenly taking a step back in alarm as the mist that surrounded him suddenly lashed out in different directions like someone had just thrown smoke bombs through the air. The two red eyes began to rise into the air before Chazz, a silhouette of Rox's body appeared behind them until they became level with his face.

"I am the spawn of eternal darkness…I'm a vampire who's been alive for more than five thousand years" He spoke, the mist suddenly cleared in an instant revealing the same Rox as always but with blood red eyes that still had the first for blood.

But when Chazz saw what he was standing on he questioned why he had that look. He was standing on a giant stone slab with a hard black coffin on the middle of it. Rox was standing on top of it. There were bodies everywhere, there was blood everywhere.

"A message?" Gale asked as she stood besides Syrus who was still having a little trouble standing, "Whats that supposed to mean?"

Rale sighed and turned away unclipping the sand coloured duel disk from his wrist and deactivating it, "I've said too much"

"You're going to tell us" Gale spoke firmly stepping forward, Syrus looked as if he was trying to get a word in but seemed now more afraid of Gale than he had been of Obelisk.

"It's insignificant", Rale spoke taking the deck out of the duel disk and pocketing it.

The sound of heavy footsteps echoed through the corridor before Rale suddenly let out an 'urk' of surprise as Gale reached up and grabbed him by the back of the neck and dragged him backwards. Gale was now staring down at him a wicked malice in her eyes, the very look of the woman you knew was not to be messed with right now, "Listen jack ass Syrus here just almost got killed again because of me-"

"Well I wouldn't put it like that" Syrus murmured quietly but was still in awe of the fact that Rale was now being dragged to his feet by the scarlet haired girl that was considerably smaller than Rale.

"-He stood up to that giant monster freak! He could have gotten fatally wounded again and it would be yours and my fault!" She growled as she glared at him, Rale let out a small whimper his eyes wide.

"Really it was just a scratch" Syrus murmured again scratching the back of his head with a small smile.

"Shut up Syrus!" Gale snapped as she glared back at him a small fire burning in her eyes causing him to reel and whimper like a scared puppy.

"Yes mam…."

Her head whipped back to Rale who now had regained his composure and shook out of the grasp before standing on both feet. Gales eyes were still narrowed on him, "Tell us Rale!"

He didn't answer. Gale growled before shoving him in the back, "What are you?"

"I am the message of the Egyptian gods at birth I was chosen by them to be what they would put their divine word through whatever they say I do until the day that Yugi Moto crosses my path!" He spoke every word with fury but formality as he glared back at her meeting her glare with a glare of his own.

"Are you happy now?" He spat viciously.

It took a few moments for such words to suddenly sink in to Gale before she backed off. His sudden explanation suddenly hit her, she now realised how amazing but terrible it was. She stepped backwards next to Syrus who was equally startled. There was silence before Syrus cleared his throat and spoke.

"What will happen on that day?" he asked in a quiet voice. Rale looked to one side.

"Unity"

---

The hospital wing was full of shouting and scrambling. Doctors and nurses that had been flown in coming and going in the blink of an eye as they tended to the new causality in the wing. It was complete chaos that was for certain.

One voice in particular was standing out though; "What did you do to him! What did you do to him?"

It was the single cry of Alexis from her bed as she looked over at Atticus. Her body shaking with terror as she watched the doctor's crowd around him.

Crowler was standing in the corner of the room talking with a doctor about what he would now need to add on to the letter to the Rhode's family.

"It's incredible Chancellor Crowler I've never seen anything like it he's alive but he's stone cold" the doctor spoke in an amazed tone as he looked over at Atticus. The boy's eyes were wide open, his face blank and pale along with the rest of his body, but there was still a small breath coming from his lips.

It was horrible, and Alexis clearly wasn't the only one to think so. Jaden was sat next to her bed staring at Atticus. He couldn't stand it, the cold blank look on Attuicus's face that shared a look of fear within it.

He looked over at the boy who had caused this. A set of handcuffs placed on his wrists. Al sat on a chair next to Pegasus who seemed less than pleased by what had happened but at the same time he didn't seem shocked.

He looked at Al. He just stared at the ground with a glazed far away look in his eye. His mouth slightly curved into a smirk but it only seemed to creep up every few seconds. He had always thought the duellists to be interesting and mysterious, but this one had now gone and maybe killed Atticus.

Well that was until the door of the room slammed open revealed a pissed off raven haired woman wearing to much the surprise of everyone in the room, a dressing gown and a shower cap.

"AL WHAT THE HELL?" She yelled at him storming over him with such strong strides that room shook. Compared to Gale this woman was queen of the furious strides.

"Axiss…are you aware that you're wearing nothing but a nightgown and a shower cap?" Al asked an eyebrow raised, for a minute all the doctors in the room seemed to turn eagerly the moment these words left his mouth, they were shortly silenced as the boy turned to them with the glare that threatened to reveal the hideous monster that had appeared in the duel causing all of them to yelp and immediately turn back to Atticus.

Her reply to his comment was simple and well met. She hit him in the side of the head. His eyes widened as he fell from the seat and lay sprawled out on the floor. At first he seemed hurt and very shocked, but then once it sunk in he got back to his feet and sat down on the seat again.

Axiss however did not stop to ask if she had hit him to hard. She growled inm frustration before stamping her feet in tantrum and gripping his head in one hand before yelling directly into his ear, "YOU LITTLE PRICK! AL WHEN I GAVE YOU THAT THING I TOLD YOU NOT TO USE IT ON A MORTAL!"

Al sighed ignoring the ringing in his ear and glancing sideways. The whole room was now silenced, everyone was now looking at the two. Even in his unconscious state Jaden could have sworn Atticus was watching with the same surprise.

As he looked back at Al his eyes grew wider. Now Al was blushing furiously. Why would such a strange and presumably cold child blush?

Al began to slowly mumble the next few words, "Erm…Axiss your dressing gowns fal-"

"SHUT UP AL!" She yelled not seeming to take in what he had said, sure enough it was now clear to both Jaden and every male in the room that the more the woman shouted and stamped her feet in rage the more the front of her dressing gown was opening to show...well the only one who could properly see was Al but it was obvious the doctors who were supposed to be treating Atticus were now currently trying to get a better view.

Axiss breathed in slowly, Al gulped his eyes shifting from the part in Axiss's dressing gown to her face. She sighed before tilting Al's head back to look her in the eye, "Now I told you not to use it on a mortal"

"Yes…yes you did…" he murmured slowly now that intimidation coming back again.

"And what did you do…" She asked politely, but yet she got now response. Al was silent, he turned from her and stared into thin air as if thinking it over before murmuring.

"I'm sorry"

She gave a long sigh before clicking her fingers at one of the doctors by Atticus who suddenly made more effort to suddenly run across the room and pull up a chair next to the boy for her. She sat down with her eyes shut before sighing and slapping Al in the back of the head not caring that the doctor had just ignored a patient to tend to her needs, "Idiot…"

"You know I had to" He murmured ignoring the sting on the back of his head.

"You didn't have to" she replied immediately folding her arms across her chest. The doctors sighed in disappointment before once again beginning to work on reviving the stone cold Atticus, Jaden wasn't sure but he swore that he had seen Atticus sigh or frown. Just how unconscious was Atticus?

"You're an idiot…" Axiss murmured rolling her eyes. There was silence that followed before the voice picked up slowly.

"What did you do to him?"

Jadens head turned to the bed beside him. Alexis was looking across at Al, she was glaring through the strands of hair that had fallen over her face. Her hands clenched tight to the bed sheets.

"What did you do!?" She yelled with fury in her voice. Jaden was sure if she could walk she would have attacked Al.

Al looked sideways before murmuring in the same slow reply. "I'm sorry"

What came next surprised Jaden, Axiss had just snorted as if amused by the apology, "Your not sorry Al" she replied with an airy chuckle as she tugged the shower cap off her head letting messy raven hair fall down her face.

"What did you do to Atticus?" Alexis asked her fists clenched tighter.

"I'm sorry" he replied in a solemn tone.

"Tell her Al" Axiss ordered in a casual tone as she began to play with locks of her hair.

"I won't but I'm sorry" he replied now staring at the floor.

"Shut up and tell me!" Alexis yelled slamming her fists against the bed causing the metal rails to shudder.

"Tell her now!" Now Jaden was shouting at him. The fear and anger he had suppressed suddenly unleashing itself.

The door of the room opened and a police officer walked in carrying a gun in one hand. Obviously Crowler had thoughts this to be a matter for them even if it was unbelievable. The police officer walked over to Crowler who greeted him with a small nod.

"Is that the kid?" The officer asked as he looked towards him. Crowler nodded in reply, Pegasus immediately jumped in and began to talk to the two in a rushed apology.

"I'm sorry Chancellor Crowler I assure you this was not intentional" he began to speak, Al lifted his head and looked at the gun in the police officers hand. A gun? Prison? For him? It was just a game!

"You've really done it now" Axiss murmured sideways, she seemed to care more about her hair than the fact that maybe going to prison.

"The boy is dangerous Mr Pegasus and what that creature was I have no idea but I don't like it" Crowler answered, the room was now beginning to fill with chatter, Alexis was still shouting at him.

"He's still cold I think the kid really killed him" one of the doctors managed to call out over the noise.

"Their going to take you away…" Axiss sighed her tone seeming to sound like it was mocking him now.

"Tell me now!" Alexis yelled out her face now red and voice strained from the shouting.

"He's a good boy Chancellor Crowler and he's very important" Pegasus was heard amongst the chaos.

"Tell her Al!" Jaden shouted out now on his feet.

"I would tell her" Axiss murmured to him.

"Tell her" Jaden spoke again beginning to walk towards him.

"He's going to have to be taken off the island" the officer spoke, Al's eyes closed his face screwed up. Too many people were talking.

"I said tell her!" Jaden snapped his fists clenching. Too many voices, Al couldn't concentrate. Why wouldn't they leave him alone?

"Tell me!" She yelled over the voices.

"SHUT UP!" He yelled out so loud that the entire room was silenced in one breath. He clutched his head in between his hands his eyes hidden from view as he looked at the ground breathing heavily in fury.

"Shut up! SHuT uP! Shut up! ShUt Up! SHUT UP!"

His head shot up immediately revealing his face that was twisted in a look of pure rage. His eyes were changing from red to black and his face was cracking like someone had smashed it with a hammer. Jaden watched speechless before he asked in a breathless voice "What the hell are you…"

The cracks in his face suddenly disappeared, the red in his eyes changed back to their dark colour. He looked towards Jaden his eyes threatening to pierce right through Jaden's soul itself.

"I am death" He spoke his voice cold and hate filled as his fists clenched in the pair of handcuffs on his wrists.

"I do deaths work and no one does it better than me…I am your fear…I am what takes your joy away and gives you nothing but sadness yet I am what drags the sinners to hell"

He paused before looking at Axiss who was currently staring at him with an unimpressed look on her face. He didn't care; he just spat his following words.

"I am deaths advocate and that's what I shall always be deal with it"

----

They were all fools though to think that three strange boys were cause for concern. Why did no one check the docks and wonder why the Butler had left the giant suit case that lay what seemed to be carelessly abandoned on the docks?

Why did Crowler not instruct all the students to go to their lessons as planned?

Why did no one realise that the classes had one less student because of the Butlers handy work?

And why was it now that the suitcase had now opened itself? And why was it now that a class of kids now sat terrified as they watched their wonderful brown haired teacher become reduced to tears as she was pressed down onto the desk?

"That's a good little girl you lie down there" The rotten head spoke with an evil pleasure in his voice.

It had been just a normal lesson to the kids. A normal lesson, the teacher had been talking over their lesson plan and then the door had opened.

The psychopath was a terrifying creature. A rotten head with dirty brown hair fixed upon a rusty suit of armour covered in spikes.

This was the Estates real plan. Distract the real threat to get the prince, one of their lesser but most reliable assassins to get the job done.

He had frown himself through the door and in a flash taken the teacher by the head and forced her against her desk, she hadn't even had time to plea to spare the children or scream before the creature slammed his iron fists against her hands delighted to hear the crack of bone beneath them.

She wailed in pain. Children stood up, girls and boys reeled in horror as they watched their teacher be assaulted in such a way. What were they to do? They already knew they were powerless compared to this monster.

"Hello Kiddies" The rotten green face spoke a long tongue "Here's the thing if you don't sit back down and shut the fuck up"

His eyes widened as he raised her weeping head in one spike covered hand, "I'm gonna fuck up this bitch right now! Is that fucking understood!"

It was clearly understood as the kids sat back down. Too afraid to be able to say anything else. People were crying. That look of genuine terror was painted on all of them.

And he lied of course, oh how that bastard lied. The prince was a lying bastard as his armoured chest opened up slowly.

The last sight the kids ever saw a glimpse of rotten flesh where the armour opened up. A slit suddenly appearing in the centre of it and widening and twisting into a mouth of fangs. The Prince murmured under his breath the final two words that would seal it all as the mouth opened slowly.

"Release Diablo…"

---

The infirmary was silent after the speech from Al.

The corridor was silent after the revelation from Rale.

The muddy field was now silent after the scene before Chazz that Rox now displayed.

But all this changed in an instant as duel academy island was enveloped in luminous purple flame.

A brilliant heat over duel academy Island, a heat that could not scar or kill but yet sent a fire that seemed to burn and defile the very soul of any good natured human being.

The infirmary was suddenly filled with a new chaos, confusion and fear. No one was no longer concerned with the speech from the mysterious duelist but the purple flame that was curling around their bodies and sting their flesh.

Axiss was now stood up her mouth dropped as she ran her hand through the purple flame. Pegasus was now pinned up against the wall his face full of shock, "No…this can't be right" he murmured.

Jaden stood in the middle of the room turning around and around on the spot at the fire that wrapped around him. This was unlike anything that had happened so far. He felt sick, why did his heart hurt so bad? He fell to one knee clutching his chest, "Wh….whats happening?"

The only person who wasn't in panic was Al who now sat on his chair his eyes narrowed but relaxed. A single word came from his mouth.

"Collision"
