Ruler of the Gentle Darkness (Chapter Three)
Disclaimer: I don't own Yu-Gi-Oh GX.
The following day the talk of the academy was Alexis Rhodes going out with Jaden Yuki. Everyone one of them went people would be whispering about them, or in Jaden's case glaring at him. Whenever they were actually together everyone would literally stop and stare before moving on.
"You'd think people would have better things to gossip about" Alexis said leaning against Jaden as they sat under a tree. "The Tag Team Tournament is coming up in three days and all everyone does is keep asking me if you've got a 'HERO' tattoo on your chest."
Jaden laughed slightly "And what did you say?"
"I said it was a 'Rainbow Dark Dragon.' Much more macho" she responded as they both began to laugh. "Speaking of the Tag Team Tournament, are you going to sign up for it?"
"I'm always up for a tournament; what are the conditions" he asked.
"Since Hassleberry coordinated it all he told me about it" Alexis said. "Apparently it's Senior's against Junior's and it's going to be a huge upcoming graduation party."
"Sounds like fun" Jaden said before snuggling deeper against Alexis with his face resting near the crook of her neck. "Alexis" he said softly.
"Hmm" she turned to him.
"This is probably just the 'dumb guy' part of me speaking, but I have to know" Jaden began. "You had big plans to become a teacher, continue your schooling, possibly all the way in America yet you're giving it all up just to stay with me. How can you do it?"
Alexis smiled at him before chuckling slightly "You're right, that is the 'dumb guy' part of you speaking." Jaden sat up and looked at her "The reason is very simple Jaden; it's because I love you." Taking his hand and giving it a gentle squeeze she continued "The moment you captured my heart… I knew my world would revolve around you. And I don't have a single regret."
"You are amazing" Jaden said before giving her a small kiss. Alexis really wanted him to continue, but they were in public.
Thanks to Hassleberry the entire Tag Team Tournament was set up with it being a boy and girl pairing. Jaden laughed when he saw Syrus and Chazz sitting off to the side glaring at one another because they were unlucky enough to not get a partner.
To be in the tournament you had to have a partner of the opposite sex and in the same year. That's why Alexis and Jaden were partnered up because they were both in the same year and were of the opposite gender.
The tournament passed well and good with the matches flowing by just like that; Jaden and Alexis dominated every opponent they fought and in the end their last opponents were Jesse and Jasmine, who had managed to defeat Hassleberry and Blair.
Jaden and Jesse were smirking at each other before activating their duel disks "Alright Alexis, let's win this" Jaden said.
"Yeah" Alexis agreed also activating their duel disks.
"This is gonna be tough Jasmine, but let's do our best" Jesse smiled at her.
Jasmine blushed slightly "Y-Yeah."
"Duel" all four of them shouted.
"I'll start this out" Jesse said drawing a card. A smirk came to his face "First I'm going to send Crystal Beast Cobalt Eagle to the graveyard in order to summon Rainbow Zombie." On the field appeared a ragged zombie in white wraps with crystal stubs all over its body (2000/2600).
Jaden was amazed "Whoa, when did you get that?"
"It's a new friend I made a few months ago along with a few more" Jesse smirked. "Now because he's new let me explain a few things for you. When Rainbow Zombie is summoned to the field in attack mode you automatically lose 500 life points." A small ball of rainbow energy struck both Jaden and Alexis.
Jesse/Jasmine: 4000
Jaden/Alexis: 3500
"Not bad at all" Jaden said impressed.
"Glad you like; I'll place one card face down and end my turn" Jesse said.
"Then it's my move" Alexis said drawing a card. "I summon Cyber Tutu in attack mode" she said and her beloved Cyber Tutu appeared on the field. "Next I activate the spell card Prima Light. With this I sacrifice Cyber Tutu and now I can summon Cyber Prima." On her field a warrior lady with two golden rings floating around her abdomen appeared (2300/1600). "And with my Cyber Prima that zombie is gonna get buried again for a second time. Attack with Cyber Strafe."
Cyber Prima sped towards Rainbow Zombie and gave it a hard kick making it give a zombified moan before it exploded.
Jesse/Jasmine: 3700
Jaden/Alexis: 3500
"To end my turn I place two cards facedown" Alexis said.
"Sweet move Lex" Jaden grinned. Alexis blushed, but smiled back.
"It's my move" Jasmine said drawing a card. She looked at her hand and the field with a nervous look.
Jesse saw her look "It's okay Jasmine, you got this" he encouraged her. This nice words and kind smile gave her confidence.
"Alright then prepare yourselves" Jasmine said. "First thing I'm going to do is play the spell card Change of Heart." Activating her spell card she saw Alexis gasp "And with this card your Cyber Prima will become mine for one turn." An angelic being with one angel wing and one devil wing jumped over and into Cyber Prima before jumping over to Jasmine's side. "But don't think I'm done yet; I'm going to summon Harpie Lady" On the field appeared Harpie Lady (1300/1400).
"I know what's coming next; do it Jasmine" Jesse grinned.
"With pleasure; I now sacrifice these two monsters as tribute and activate Black Magic Ritual" Jasmine called as the two monsters vanished in an altar. "To summon the Magician of Back Chaos." On the field a magician in a black outfit with a long scepter appeared on the field (2800/2600).
"Whoa, I didn't know Jasmine had such a rare and powerful card" Jaden gasped.
"It's her favorite and most treasured one too" Alexis told him.
"Alright Magician of Black Chaos attack; Chaos Scepter Blast" Jasmine ordered. Her magician twirled his scepter before launching a large blast of blue magic. The blast headed right towards them and struck "Bet they felt that."
"Not quite" Alexis' voice said making her frown. The smoke cleared revealing them to be completely unharmed.
"What, but how" Jasmine gasped wide eyed.
"A little double facedown play" Alexis said showing her two cards. "I activated Monster Reborn to bring back Cyber Tutu and as the attack hit I activated the trap card Desperate Tag. If a monster I have is destroyed then all battle damage becomes zero and it allows me to summon a level 4 or lower warrior-type monster. So I'll summon Etoile Cyber (1200/1600)."
"Nice counter Alexis" Jasmine complimented her friend. "Don't think it'll save you next time."
"If there is a next time because it's my turn now" Jaden said drawing a card. He smirked "First thing's first I'm going to activate the spell card Fake Hero. With it I'm summoning Elemental HERO Neos to the field." Neos appeared on the field with a grunt "But he won't stick around because I'm activating the spell card Dedication through Right and Wrong."
The spell card depicted a darker looking Neos with a longer headpiece and a cape. "What, I've never heard of that" Jesse said.
"Then let me educate you" Jaden said with a smirk. "What this card does is tribute Neos in order for me to summon Elemental HERO Vigilante Neos." On the field Neos vanished and what appeared was a Neos monster that looked just like the Neos on the card he just played (2800/2600).
"His monster and mine have the same attack" Jasmine said gritting her teeth slightly.
"And now I activate Vigilante Neos' special ability" Jaden said. "It allows me to take any spell card from my deck and add it to my hand." Jaden searched his deck for a card, took it, and reshuffled his deck. "And now I'll activate that card; Direct Attack." It showed a picture of a monster charging right at another one "As its name implies Direct Attack allows a monster to directly attack as long as that monster is level 4 or less. You're up Alexis."
Alexis nodded with a smile "Etoile Cyber attack." Etoile Cyber charged forward right past the Magician of Black Chaos. "And of course you know when Etoile Cyber attacks directly her attack point's increase by 600." Etoile Cyber struck both Jesse and Jasmine directly.
Jaden/Alexis: 3500
Jesse/Jasmine: 1900
"Good move, but I have a counter" Jesse said activating a trap card. "Go Amethyst Cut." The trap card showed a picture of a sharp jagged amethyst crystal. "When you direct attacked us it allowed me to activate this trap card. With it I can summon Crystal Beast Amethyst Cat." A pink cat with a purple gem around her neck appeared on the field (1200/400). "But that's not all; a second effect of Amethyst Cut is that Amethyst Cat can attack directly. Go get 'em girl."
"Right" Amethyst Cat charged and slashed both Jaden and Alexis.
Jaden/Alexis: 2300
Jesse/Jasmine: 1900
"The final side effect is that Amethyst Cat must go into defense mode after the attack" Jesse said as Amethyst cat crouched into defense mode.
"Not bad Jesse, but we've still got our attacks left" Jaden smirked. "Vigilante Neos, Etoile Cyber attack Magician of Black Chaos and Amethyst Cat." Both monsters charged and while Etoile Cyber destroyed Amethyst Cat, both Vigilante Neos and Magician of Black Chaos destroyed each other. "Both our monsters may have destroyed each other, but when a monster is destroyed by Vigilante Neos it is removed from play instead of going to the graveyard."
Jesse grunted 'Good move; he erased our defense, but still managed to keep his own.'
"I place one card facedown and end my turn" Jaden said.
"Then it's me again" Jesse said drawing a card. Looking at his hand and field Jesse saw he only had an amethyst crystal in his spell and trap card zone and nothing else. "Alright first I activate Foolish Burial; with this spell card I can send one monster from my deck to the graveyard and I choose Crystal Beast Ruby Carbuncle."
Jesse sent the monster to the graveyard. "But I'm not done yet; next I activate Pot of Greed to draw two more cards." Drawing his cards Jesse smirked "And now I activate the spell card Crystal Recovery." The spell card showed someone diving into the ocean to retrieve gems that were floating away.
"Kay, what's it do" Jaden asked.
"What it does is allow me to call back as many Crystal Beasts as possible from my graveyard and summon them to the field so welcome back Cobalt Eagle and Ruby Carbuncle." Both Cobalt Eagle and Ruby Carbuncle appeared on the field. "And when Ruby Carbuncle is special summoned I can summon back as many crystal beasts as I can from my spell and trap card zone so Amethyst Cat is back."
Alexis 'tsked' "Jesse's as good as ever" she murmured.
"And now it's time to welcome a new friend of mine to the field" Jesse said. "I sacrifice Cobalt Eagle, Amethyst Cat and Ruby Carbuncle to summon the one and only Rainbow Knight." On the field a knight wearing pure white armor with crystal gems all along the armor wielding a large diamond sword appeared on the field (2800/2600).
A lot of people were in awe at the beautiful knight "He's a beauty ain't he" Jesse smirked. "He gets even better. When he's successfully summoned I can take up to two Crystal Beasts from my deck and place them in my spell/trap card zone so I'm taking Amber Mammoth and Topaz tiger and placing them in my spell/trap card zone." A topaz and amber stone appeared on his field. "And now Rainbow Knight attack her Etoile Cyber with Radiant Sword."
Rainbow Knight charged at Etoile Cyber and slashed her down in a mighty explosion of rainbow light.
Jesse/Jasmine: 1900
Jaden/Alexis: 700
"Alright Jesse; that took a huge chunk of their life points" Jasmine cheered giving Jesse a grin.
"Ah shucks, it was nothing" Jesse blushed slightly.
The smoke cleared and Jaden and Alexis were recovering from the blast. "Those new cards of his are deadly; we need something for defense." Alexis drew a card and scowled "This would have been perfect if Etoile Cyber was still here."
"And she can be; use my card Alexis" Jaden said.
Alexis assessed Jaden's card and smiled "Thanks, I will." Turning to her opponents she called "Alright I activate Monster Reborn." She activated Jaden's monster reborn "And with it I summon back Etoile Cyber." Etoile Cyber reappeared on the field once more "And now I'm going to fuse my reborn Etoile Cyber with the Blade Skater in my hand in order to summon Cyber Blader in defense mode." A monster with skates and red skater outfit appeared crouched down on the field (2100/800). "And to end my turn I place one card face down on the field."
"We got this Jesse" Jasmine said drawing a card. "I know Alexis' deck well; her Cyber Blader can't be destroyed with only one monster on the field, but when there's two her attack points are doubled, but in defense mode that's useless."
"Really" he asked excitedly "Alright Jasmine, let's end it."
"You got it; first I summon Harpie Lady in attack mode" she said summoning a Harpie Lady to the field (1300/1400). "Next I'm going to activate Elegant Egotist. Now one Harpie becomes three; welcome Harpie Lady Sisters." A trio of Harpie Ladies appeared on the field (1950/2100). "Alright Harpie Lady Sisters destroy that Cyber Blader with whirlwind claw."
The Harpie Lady Sisters attacked, but Alexis smirked "Good try, but not enough. I activate Mirror Wall." On the field a clear shield appeared and Harpie Lady Sisters hit the wall and they grimaced in pain as their attack strength dropped in half (975/2100). "As long as Mirror Wall is activated all attacks are negated and the attack strength is cut in half."
Jasmine grunted "I forgot about that trap; no matter she can't afford to keep it anyway. Next turn we'll get them; I cancel the battle faze and end my turn."
'Unfortunately she's right' Alexis thought. 'We don't have 2000 points to waste to keep Mirror Wall; it's going to be destroyed next turn.' Looking to her boyfriend Alexis thought 'It's all up to Jaden now.'
Jaden drew his card and looked at his hand. Destroying Mirror wall since he couldn't keep it up Jaden looked at the card he drew. "I activate Card of Sanctity. Everyone must draw until they have six cards." Jaden drew five cards, Alexis drew four, Jesse drew five and Jasmine drew four.
Jaden looked at his new hand "Well Jesse, Jasmine, you guys put up a good duel, but this is where it all ends."
"What" they both said.
"First I activate the spell card Code Change" Jaden said. "With this card I can change the text written on any monster I choose to a different type. I change the Warrior Type written on Cyber Blader to a Fiend Type."
"And just what will that accomplish" Jasmine glared at him.
"Plenty" Jaden smirked. "It will allow me to do this. I activate Dark Fusion and with it I'm going to fuse Cyber Blader with the Evil HERO Malicious Edge in my hand in order to summon a new monster. Make way for the one and only Evil HERO Malicious Fiend." On the field appeared a massive monster with a twisted grin and long sharp talons (3500/2100).
"3500 attack points" Jasmine gasped.
"It's okay Jasmine" Jesse said comfortingly. "That monster may be powerful, but no matter which monster it attacks we'll be able to last another turn."
"Oh is that what you think Jesse" Jaden said teasingly. "Allow me to prove otherwise. You see Malicious Fiend's special ability is that he can make all your monsters attack him during battle."
"He what" they both gasped.
"Malicious Fiend attack Harpie Lady Sisters with Malicious Barrage" Jaden ordered. Jumping into the air Malicious Fiend launched a massive barrage of blades that struck the Harpie Lady Sisters destroying them in a mighty explosion.
Jaden/Alexis: 700
Jesse/Jasmine: 350
"And now Rainbow Knight will attack" Jaden said as Rainbow Knight jumped towards Malicious Fiend. The Evil HERO merely widened his smirk before slashing through Rainbow Knight like he was made of butter and he blew up in another massive explosion.
Jaden/Alexis: 700
Jesse/Jasmine: 0
"And that's game" both Jaden and Alexis said in unison pulling Jaden's famous pose.
Jesse laughed "That was a great duel" he told them both. Seeing Jasmine's sad look Jesse spoke again "Hey buck up, we did our best."
She looked at him "B-But we still lost."
"Winning isn't everything in dueling" Jesse told her. "Having fun should be the most important thing; did you have fun?"
"You know what… I did, I really did" Jasmine said with a smile.
"That's the smile I'm looking for" Jesse grinned at her making her blush. "It was really fun dueling with you Jasmine; maybe one day we could duel each other."
"Yeah, that sounds like fun" she said with a smile. Alexis smiled slightly as she saw one of her best friends talk with Jesse. Jasmine and Mindy, her other best friend, were famous for liking handsome and cute boys, but to Alexis this looked like the first time Alexis saw Jasmine really talk with a boy.
The last few months at the Academy was so peaceful that it was almost unnerving, but it felt so nice that Jaden had finally begun to relax. He got to hang out with his friends, duel them for fun, watch Chazz react with extreme jealousy when he found out he and Alexis were together. It was so peaceful that Jaden could sleep without trouble.
But of course the phrase 'anything that can go wrong will go wrong' reared its ugly head in the picture. It was on a Saturday afternoon and Jaden was sleeping in late; Alexis was sleeping next to him with their arms wrapped around each other. They had known and trust each other long enough to be able to sleep comfortably together even though they had only been officially together for a month.
Jaden was the first one to awaken and when he did he noticed it was still dark 'Back to bed then' he thought sleepily before snugging up to Alexis. Then his eyes popped open when he saw the alarm clock.
It was 11:30 a.m.
Quickly Jaden jumped out of bed and ran to the window and threw the drapes open and to his shock it was completely black outside and the sun was being eclipsed. "Oh, not good" he murmured before running over to the bed. "Alexis, Alexis wake up" he shook her.
"Mmm" she moaned. "Jaden, come back to bed, it's too early."
"No Alexis, this is an emergency" Jaden said urgently.
Alexis opened her eyes with a yawn "Ah, Jaden, it's still nighttime" she said sleepily rubbing her eye.
"Alexis, it's almost noon" Jaden said seriously. Alexis was wide awake after that and ran to the window looking outside seeing the eclipsed sun and darkness.
"What's going on" she asked nervously.
"I have a hunch; I just hope I'm wrong" he muttered slipping his shoes on and grabbing his duel disk and deck. Alexis put her boots on and grabbed her dueling gear and followed Jaden out of the room. First they ran to the other rooms in the dorms, but it was empty. The same for the other dorms, all were empty, even the main academy building where classes normally were. It was all empty.
"They're gone" Alexis said in astonishment. They were currently inside the Academy building "Are we all that's left?"
"It looks like it" Jaden said looking at the computers. "The whole Academy is deserted; whoever did this took everyone."
Suddenly dark laughter echoed all around them making them jump close to each other to cover one another. "Jaden Yuki" a dark voice said. "Come outside, it's time we settle this."
"Jaden" Alexis said nervously looking at her lover.
Jaden gave her a reassuring look "It's okay Alexis; I got this" he said taking her hand. Alexis squeezed his hand tightly for a second before the two of them exited the building and went outside to the main walkway.
The dimension in front of them distorted before a single person was revealed. The person was massive shrouded in a dark aura and an equally black cloak with six bat-like wings coming from the back. A ribcage could be seen from under the cloak and the face was like that of a dragon, all skull and no skin, with glaring blue eyes with a hood over the head.
Jaden glared at him "So you show yourself; the traitor of the Supreme King and the Gentle Darkness, Nightshroud."
"I am pleased that after all this time you remember me my King" Nightshroud said. "It will make this victory all the more rewarding; you will fall and my reign will be assured."
Jaden glared harsher at him "We will see about that; I've beaten everything else that destiny has thrown at me and I will continue to do so no matter what tries to stop me."
"Of that there is almost no doubt" Nightshroud agreed with him surprising both Jaden and Alexis. "If you had your full power that is."
"What" Jaden said with an alarmed look on his face.
Nightshroud chuckled darkly "So Yubel has not told you everything of your past. Oh how sweet."
"Enough, what are you talking about" Alexis shouted at him.
Nightshroud chuckled again "The Supreme King is the most sublime being of darkness. An entity that can glide through hell and not be affected with such a power that he can cast a shadow on darkness itself. A being beyond human and spirit. That is the Supreme King, a being who is unmatched, but only if that being has all the powers of darkness inside of them."
"You're not making any sense" Jaden shouted at him angrily.
"Then why don't I just show you" Nightshroud said maliciously. Lifting his hand Nightshroud launched two beams of dark energy that struck both Jaden and Alexis in their foreheads. Both of them screamed in pain from the attack before gasping as a vision swept through their heads.
FLASHBACK
Jaden and Alexis found themselves floating inside a palace dueling hall. Nightshroud screamed as he was launched back from a particularly nasty hit. His henchman, Trueman, was launched back as well. The attackers were Evil HERO Malicious Fiend and Evil HERO Lightning Golem.
The two Evil HERO's roared as they charged up their powers ready to end it when a voice rang out "That's enough." Jaden and Alexis turned and gasped.
Sitting in a chair looking like a perfect copy of Jaden in his late twenties was the Supreme King. His golden glowing eyes stared down at Nightshroud and Trueman like they were insects and his black armor gleamed ominously. But the real reason they gasped was because of the woman sitting next to him. She was dressed in similar black armor, but it was armor that only covered her waist, lower legs, upper torso, forearms and shoulders. She had long dirty blond hair and soft hazel eyes.
The woman looked just like Alexis.
"My liege" the two Evil HERO's bowed and stepped back as the Supreme King stepped off his throne and approached Nightshroud and Trueman.
The Supreme King stopped a safe distance away from them "This foolish game of yours is over Nightshroud" he said coldly. "Trying to usurp me will not lead to peace."
"You are a fool Supreme King" Nightshroud bellowed at him. "I have seen the world of darkness; that world will grant all eternal life and peace where no being will ever have any worry or fear. Your way will just continue with more death and loss."
"Your world of so called peace is a false peace" the Supreme King said bluntly. "There is no will or strength of character in that world. It's all in the head and not in real life and in reality would have humans and spirits alike crawling on all fours like beasts. And I will hear no more of this." Turning the Supreme King walked back to his throne "Dispose of these traitors."
The two Evil HERO's moved in to take them down, but Nightshroud was faster and shot up with an angry roar and launched a large beam of darkness. The two Evil HERO's prepared to defend themselves, but the beam shot between them. In horror they realized it was going for the Supreme King.
"MY KING" they both shouted, but it was too late. The Supreme King turned to defend himself, but went wide eyed when the woman sitting next to him on the throne before jumped in front of him and took the attack that was meant for him.
The woman began to fall, but the King caught her in his arms "Asuka… ASUKA" he shouted in panic. The woman groaned quietly and opened her eyes only to see the king's crying eyes "Why… why did you do that?"
The woman smiled weakly and reached up touching the king's cheek. "My beloved Judai… I love you" was all she managed to say before life left her body. For a single moment no one moved and no one even breathed as the realty set in.
One of the Evil HERO's murmured "The queen… she's…" Then both Evil HERO's faced a smug Nightshroud and Trueman "You bastard; you will pay."
"On the contrary" Nightshroud said standing up. "It is you who will pay; Trueman."
"Right" Trueman lifted both hands and a ray of darkness shot forward and impacted with both the king and his dead queen. The King roared in both emotional agony at the loss of his queen and physical agony from the pain he was feeling. Both Evil HERO's went to intercept the attacks when Nightshroud blasted them both through the wall.
Trueman laughed as he kept up the process until the golden eyes of the Supreme King vanished turning back to their regular brown color. After a few more minutes of screaming the black tendrils vanished leaving the Supreme King to collapse to the ground.
Nightshroud laughed victoriously as he took the powers that Trueman just drained from the Supreme King. "With you drained of more than 60% of your powers and the soul of your Queen trapped with us you have no will or power left to fight us. It is over Supreme King… you have lost."
Nightshroud and Trueman turned to leave, but suddenly were bound in dark pillars of energy. The Supreme King weakly got back up "I may have lost today, but a stronger Supreme King will come in time" he glared at the two traitors. "And when he does you will be brought to justice and the full power of the Gentle Darkness will return to its rightful vessel. Until then… rot in purgatory." Screaming and unleashing all his power the Supreme King flung the two of them into a massive portal before it closed.
Drained of all power and losing his life energy the Supreme King collapsed next to his beloved queen. "Asuka… my love… I'm sorry" he said before closing his eyes.
END FLASHBACK
Alexis and Jaden were thrown from the flashback roughly and were panting with wide eyes before looking back at Nightshroud. "So you see now" Nightshroud said. "I wanted to bring about a new world with no conflict and the Supreme King didn't agree. It's a shame his queen had to die… she was so beautiful."
Jaden grit his teeth harshly "You monster."
"True heroes are monsters; you should know that by now" Nightshroud said plainly. "But now you understand why you feel so at peace around this woman and why she was unaffected by my power; it's because she is the reincarnation of the woman who was the queen of the Supreme King. His one and only love."
"I know enough now" Jaden said glaring at Nightshroud. "All I have to do is defeat you, regain my full powers and I will set the queen free."
Nightshroud chuckled again "So you say, but don't think I'm going to make it easy." Before any of them could react Nightshroud lifted his hand and a single beam of darkness shot out and struck Alexis right in the middle of her torso.
Alexis could only stutter a small "Jaden" before losing her strength.
"ALEXIS, NO" Jaden screamed catching her in his arms. "No, no, no; look at me Alexis. It's okay, it's not even that bad, you're okay, you're okay" he spoke rapidly taking her hand and pressing tightly to her abdomen where blood was beginning to seep through.
Nightshroud found the whole display amusing "The wound isn't fatal, but it's infected with darkness; if you don't regain your full power soon she'll die."
Jaden grit his teeth in anger so hard that his gums began to bleed. Gently picking Alexis up he leaned her against a tree as she struggled to stay conscious. Once taking his spot again Jaden's eyes turned gold and a powerful dark aura exploded off of his body. "You will pay for this Nightshroud."
"Like I said to you all those millennia ago; it is you who will pay" Nightshroud said as his own duel disk activated. Jaden activated his duel disk.
"DUEL" they both shouted.
Like it? Love it? Review it. Flames will be ignored.
