Chapter 9: Demons Rising

Deeper in the forest and inside the cave, a mysterious priestess, with long black hair, wearing a white and red kimono is performing a ritual, with candles, "Tempest winds and arctic swan, the time has come, so heed my call!"

Then, a whirl of wind and lightning came between her and two figures appeared behind her, "What can I do for you," one said.

"What can we do for you?" the other correct, putting an emphasis on 'we'.

"That's what I meant!"

"Yeah right!"

"Silence!" the priestess snapped, "Our targets have arrived at the town of Domino as of today. So give them a warm welcome, then bring them to me."

"Yo! I'm all over it," one said, "Those punks are walking on thin ice!"

"Chill out, Frosty," the other said, "This is supposed to be a team effort!"

"Enough!" the priestess snarled, "This will be the toughest job, yet. From what I heard, Yusuke and Jaden are no ordinary duelists. In fact, according to my brother, they may be the 'ones'."

"Awesome!"

"Right on!"

"Settle down," the priestess said and threw envelopes at them, "Take these."

The cloak figures caught them, "What are they?"

"Yeah,"

The priestess smirked, "Should your skills proved to be too weak," she said, "Sub due your opponent with these cards. Now be gone!" the figure disappeared in wind and lightning.

-.-.-.-.-.-.-

Duel Academy cruise has finally arrived at the Domino seaport.

A pair of red sneakers and a pair of brown boots stepped from the boat, "We're here," Jaden declared and looked around, "So this is where Yugi grew up, huh? What to do first?"

Yusuke shrugged, "How about…"

"Find a bathroom," Syrus said, as he and Hassleberry, walked away from the boat, carried a seasick Bastion by the arms, with Hinata, Keiko, Kari, Kagome, Inuyasha (Human Form), Hiei, Ryoko, Jordan, Jade following them, "I'm sorry," Bastion said, sickly, "Not a big boat fan."

"Glad I'm not the only one."

They turned to see Sasuke and Sakura carrying a seasick Naruto by the arms, "Gee Naruto, you're not looking so well." Jaden said.

"May I have your attention please, students," Bonaparte announced, with a bullhorn, "It's time to review our schedule."

"I beg your pardon," Sartorius interrupted, "but my dorm and I have our own arena, today."

"Yeah, teach your dogs a new trick," Yusuke insulted with a smirk, with Syrus and Hassleberry snickering and Hiei smirking.

"That's it, he's going down," Alexis snarled, but was hold back Sartorius and Sartorius says, "Now if you'll excuse us."

Alexis muttered a few curse words about Yusuke.

Bonaparte spoke, "But the regulations states that…"

"Good day, gentlemen," Sartorius turned away and walked with his white dorm walking with him.

Yusuke's smirked widened, "What more can you expect," he sneered, "From a bunch of dogs!"

Alexis halt her walking and back glared at Yusuke, 'Ha! Ha! Ha! Laugh it up, joker boy,' she thought, 'We'll see who's laughing last, when you see light.'

Crowler and Bonaparte looked at the others, "Well, I'm not babysitting them," Crowler said, "That much I can tell you."

"Don't look at me." Bonaparte said.

"You're on your own," Crowler announced, "If you need me, I'll be at the hotel." Crowler said, walking away.

"Me too, room service here we come," Bonaparte said, jumping off the stool.

"Well this is just great," Bastion commented, "Abandoned in an unknown city."

"Who cares?" Hassleberry said, "We don't need them ruining our fun."

"Exactly!" Jaden said, with a smile, "We're at the coolest place on earth. So we all have to make the best of it, right."

"That's right," Syrus brought out a brochure, "I brought a guidebook."

"So did I?" Hassleberry brought out a brochure as well, "And mine's more updated."

"Oh boy, I know where this is going," Kagome said in a bored tone.

"Me too," Keiko added, "I'm going shopping!"

"Me too!" the two girls walked away from the others, "Hey, wait for us!" Ryoko and Sakura said, leaving the boys to themselves.

Bastion sees Aster walking by, "Aster," he called out, as the silver haired pro duelist stopped, "tell me, what's this Sartorious planning to do? You must know something, after all he is your manager, isn't he?"

"Not anymore," Aster said.

Flashback

In the white dorm, Sartorius places a card on the table, "The cards predict that you have a question." He said eying Aster, who was by the door, with his arms crossed with a stern look on his face.

"What the hell are you doing in this school?" Aster snarled

"I should be asking you the same question," Sartorius said. "You despise Duel Academy, yet, somehow you linger."

"Because of you!" Aster shouted, "you said that it would be good for my career."

"You know better than that," Sartorius said, spreading his cards around on the table, "this has nothing to do with me, Aster."

"What's that mean?"

"Have you forgotten everything that I've told you? We're here it is the will of destiny. You and I had no choice, no one escapes fate." Sartorius explained as he shuffled his cards, "Well almost no one. For I found two people that defines destiny."

"You're talking about Yusuke and Jaden," Aster said.

"That's right," Sartorius said, "it seems that all the pieces evolve around them."

"Pieces?"

"To the great puzzle," Sartorius said, "Aster, it's time that you knew the truth about me. Not too long ago, thanks to a great twist of fate, the direction of my life changed. I formed a secret organization."

"You mean the Society of Light," Aster said, "Is that the reason why you wanted me to enroll as a student, here? You were using me to brainwash people and to think I trusted you all these years!"

Sartorius places a card down and a tear fell from his eyes, "Aster, you must understand that I did it for your own good and the good for mankind. Mankind is destined to see the light." He said, "You and I are merely pawns of destiny."

Aster looked down, "You know, I used to believe everything you said," he said, "but those days are gone, later!" He turned around and walked away from the room.

Aster was walking in the hallway, "Damn it, next time he won't be so lucky!"

"Huh?!" Aster stops and looks around to see, who's talking, "No ones here."

End Flashback

"Just level with us," Bastion snapped, "What's Sartorius up to?"

"Even if I knew," Aster said, looking Bastion in the eye, "a duelist of your caliber wouldn't understand!"

Bastion gasped at this insult, "See here, I'm top caliber!" he retorts, "My grades are high, my records are impeccable!"

"Oh yeah," Aster said, "Then why didn't Society of Light target you, yet. Sorry pal, but Sartorius told me that he's only targeting Duel Academy's top students," Aster grinned at the shocked Bastion, "I guess that Sartorius doesn't think highly of you."

Bastion grunts, "Hey guys, help me out will ya!" he said, as he turned see his friends are gone. Aster just left the black haired Ra alone, as he looked around, "Yusuke! Kari! Jaden! Jade! Sasuke! Hinata! Jaden! Inuyasha! Hiei! Syrus! Jordan! Naruto! Hassleberry! Where are you!"

Syrus and Hassleberry lead the others to the other side of the seaport. Syrus spoke, "This is the place where Yugi and Jo…"

Hassleberry pushed Syrus away, "Where Yugi and Joey dueled to there doom!" he interrupted.

"That's right," Yusuke said, "Guys, we're standing on scared grounds."

"Yeah, according to my guidebook, Pegasus handcuffed them to this pier," Hassleberry said.

"Get your facts straight," Syrus sneered, "It was Marik and he chained their ankles to an anchor!" Syrus crossed his arms, "Let me lead! At least I'm to update on my Yu-Gi-Oh! History and I didn't find on the discount rack."

"WHAT!" Hassleberry roared, but Yusuke got in his way, "Whoa, easy Sarge!" he told him.

"How about if we lived the past," Hassleberry retorted, glaring at Syrus, "Just you, me and an anchor!"

"Why," Syrus sneered, but was pushed back by Kari, "so I can beat you again!"

"At ease, dweeb!"

"Both of you, cool it!" The Urameshi twins roared, glaring at the Ra boys

"Yeah, this is supposed to be fun," Jaden said. "Now hug and make up!"

At the Slifer Ace's comment, they huffed and turned away from each other.

"I'd rather go with the girls, shopping than to listen to this," Inuyasha said, in a bored tone as he walked from the boys.

"Hn…something we both agree on," Hiei said, following the black haired half demon.

"I say we all go to Yugi's house," Jaden declared.

"And I'll lead the way," Yusuke said, jerking his thumb to his chest.

Later, they approached to a card shop that had the name 'Kame Game Shop'

"And here we are, guys," Yusuke said.

"We're so not worthy of standing here, right now." Jaden said.

Just then, the door opened to reveal an old short stocking man, with overalls, behind it, "Hello," he said.

"Hey Gramps!" Kari went over and hugged the man.

The man looked at Kari, "Hikari, is that you?" he said.

"Is that…" Hassleberry said, in shock.

"It sure is, believe it," Naruto said, with a smile.

"It's our grandfather," Yusuke said, "including Yugi's."

Kari let's go of her grandfather, "Hikari, Yusuke, Syrus," Mr. Muto called out, "It is you three!"

"It's nice to see you, again, Mr. Muto!" Syrus greeted.

Jordan dashed over to Mr. Muto, "You're like a legend," he said, "Would you autograph my guidebook?"

"Me too," Hassleberry said, "After all you wrote it."

"I did?" Mr. Muto said, "the mind ain't what it used to be."

"It is you," Jade said, "Is Yugi here?"

"Yugi's doing some traveling around the world," Mr. Muto said.

"We're here for a school field trip," Jaden said, "And we're big fans of his."

"Huh!?" Mr. Muto said, "Feel like taking a dip? Sorry don't have a pool, but I do have a card shop and you're welcome to look around."

"Sure."

They walked inside, actually dashed for Jaden and Naruto's part and eyed on the cards, "Sam hill," Hassleberry said, "Would you look at that?"

"What an awesome collection," Sasuke commented.

"Wow, you have a Chaos Emperor Dragon," Hinata said, "Is it a real one?"

"Sure is," Mr. Muto said. "But last year there was the strangest thing, somehow all of the pictures of all the cards had disappeared and reappeared again."

"Here's the thing, Mr. Muto," Hassleberry said, "My best friend and his partner were the ones, who solved the situation."

"Whose best friend…" Syrus muttered.

"You don't say," Mr. Muto said, looked at Yusuke and Jaden, who was looking at the cards in the glass case.

"Sure is," Yusuke said.

"It was a close duel." Jaden said.

"They're the best," Syrus said, "Hassleberry, here, wants to be just like him, when he grows up!"

Hassleberry growled at Syrus's statement.

"Why don't you kids allow me to give you a tour of the town?" Mr. Muto offered.

"Are you serious!?!" Naruto said.

"You'd do that for us?" Sasuke said.

"Certainly, I just hope you youngsters can keep up," Mr. Muto said.

They walked over towards the center of Domino City, "This is where the tournament begun," Mr. Muto said. "Or over there. Well you get the point."

"Actually, the place for the start of the Battle City Tournament, right here, Grandpa," Yusuke said.

Everyone was amazed at the site, "Wait a sec." Hassleberry said, "You're tellin' me this is the spot where Yugi dueled his first Rare Hunter?"

"Yep?" Mr. Muto said.

Then, Mr. Muto lead them to near the river, "And this is where Yugi first faced his first Egyptian God monster," he said. "Notices what it was?"

"Of course," Sasuke said, "It was Slifer the Sky Dragon."

"That duel was legendary," Jaden said, "That's so cool!"

"Come on," Mr. Muto said, "The best sites are yet to come. I'll race you there."

They dashed from the site, unaware that two shadows linger there.

"A little faster there, Grandpa!" Yusuke said and giggled.

"Right, behind you!" Mr. Muto said, jogging towards his grandchildren and his friends and stopped and panted. He looked up to see them running off, "I could have beaten them." He said, "but there just kids. I may as well let them win and then catch up with the little tykes later."

Just then, a figure in a blue jacket comes towards Mr. Muto from behind and shocks him to the back. He falls to the ground, "Not again!" he said, losing consciousness.

A few moments later…

"It looks like we lost Grandpa," Kari said

"Game time," Yusuke said, "Let's split up and look for him!"

They dash away from each other.

"Jaden, it's time!" his demonic side said.

Jaden growled, knowing the consequences too well if he doesn't obey, "Hey Jordan!" he called out.

Jordan stopped and walked towards Jaden, "Yeah."

"Come here!" Jaden said, running towards an alley, with Jordan following him.

"Judai, what is it?" Jordan asked.

Jaden didn't look at him, "You know about that demon, who's on the loose on the island." He said with his hair covering his eyes.

"Yeah."

Jaden grinned showing his fangs and looked hungrily at Jordan, with his red glowing at eyes, "That's me…" he snarled.

Jordan was whimpering in fear, "He…hey Jaden, stop it!" he said, as Jaden advanced towards him.

"Sorry I can't do that, human!" Jaden lunged at Jordan. Before he could run, Jordan was grabbed by the arms and Jaden bit his right shoulder hard. Jordan let's out a yelp, before Jaden covered his mouth with his hand. Jaden drops Jordan's limp body to the ground. Jaden smirked, "Phase one complete," he snarled.

Jaden runs away from Jordan's body as he turns back to a human and stopped. He looks at Jordan's unconscious form, 'Jordan, I'm sorry.' He thought.

In the mountains, the mysterious priestess is chanting, "Guardians of Thunder, Rain and Hail cover this land in a dark veil!" she said. As a big black cloud covered the city of Domino, "Let your rage of dark fear begin and keep all spirits trapped within!"

"Yusuke, Kari!"

Yusuke and Kari looked to see Jaden and Jade running towards them, "Any sign of Grandpa, yet?" Kari asked.

"No," Jade said.

"Hey guys," Yusuke said.

"Yeah," Kari said.

"Wasn't it sunny a few moments ago?" Yusuke asked, looking the sky.

They looked up to see to see cloudy skies, "Hey you're right," Jade said.

Just then, two Winged Kuribohs appeared, one by Yusuke and the other by Jaden, "Hey what's up, Winged Kuriboh?" Jaden asked.

Then, Neo Spacian Air Hummingbird appeared, "Can you all not sense it?" he asked.

"Can we not sense what?" Yusuke asked.

"The source of this power," Hummingbird said. "Look closely!"

Just then, spirits of Zaborg the Thunder Monarch, Mobius the Frost Monarch, Granmarg the Rock Monarch and Thestalos the Fire Storm Monarch appeared all over the city.

-.-.-.-.-.-

"Huh!?!" Kagome stopped and looked at the skies.

"Hey Kagome, why did you stop?" Keiko asked as Ryoko and Sakura stopped.

"Look at the sky girls," Kagome said, as the three girls looked up, "Wasn't it sunny just a moment ago?" Sakura said.

Kagome noticed the four giant spirits all over the city, "Hey girls, look at those!" she said.

They looked at the giants, "Are those duel monsters?" Ryoko asked.

"They sure look like it," Sakura said.

"But what could it mean?" Keiko asked.

-.-.-.-.-.-

"Whoa," Jaden commented.

"But that's not all," Hummingbird said, "There and there!" he said, pointing his beak at the spirits, "What are they?" Jade asked.

"Ancient Duel Monster Spirits," Hummingbird said

"What are they doing?" Kari asked.

"Simple, they're creating a spiritual barrier. Therefore, if the person controlling those spirits isn't defeated, then we all will be trapped in this city forever."

"Yeah, but who's controlling them?" Jaden said.

'I have a hunch, who's behind this,' Demon Jaden snarled.

-.-.-.-.-.-

"Mr. Muto!" Sasuke called out, sprinting across the streets.

"Mr. Muto!" Hinata called out, looking searching through, "Where are you!?!"

"Hey old man!" Naruto said, looking under a rock

-.-.-.-.-.-

"Any sign of Mr. Muto?" Syrus asked, running towards Hassleberry.

"Negative," Hassleberry replied.

"I didn't look at those dark alleys, over there," Syrus said, "Why don't you check it out?"

"Don't boss me around!" Hassleberry retorted, "Why don't you go peek over there? Unless you're scared," Hassleberry crossed his arms and placed a sly look on his face, "Just like you're scared to duel me!"

Syrus growled and glared at the dino duelist, "I'm not scared!" he yelled.

"Okay, let's throw down right here!" Hassleberry snarled, facing Syrus in an electrical glaring contest.

Just then, something was shot to the ground and the two boys looked to see a black spike was stabbed onto the ground, "What is that thing?" Hassleberry said.

Syrus went to get the object, "It's Mr. Muto's headband," he said, "But it's frozen stiff!"

Just then, they found someone, in a cast, walking towards them, which was Chazz, "What did you do to Mr. Muto!?" Syrus spat.

"Who me?" Chazz snarled, "I didn't do a thing to the old geezer, with this broken arm! But if you dorks ever want to see him, again, be of the roof of that building in five minutes." He said, pointing at a skyscraper, "The clock is ticking."

Chazz left the Ra boys, afterwards, "You know what I think," Hassleberry said, "I think Mr. Muto was kidnapped."

"Yeah, no duh!" Syrus yelled, "We gotta get up there!" Syrus ran ahead, "Come on, we only got five minutes!"

Hassleberry ran up to Syrus, following him to the skyscraper. They arrived to the top of the building, but no trace of Mr. Muto, "Hold on!" Hassleberry said, "I've seen this place. Oh yeah, this is where Kaiba and Yugi dueled as a tag team. It's in my Battle City guidebook!"

"Look two duel discs!" Syrus said, as he and Hassleberry ran to them.

"I bet some sicko what's to recreate that duel!" Hassleberry snarled, as he picked up a disc, "But back then, loser would be put in the Shadow Realm."

"That's just a myth!" Syrus said, picking up a disc and noticed a little box with a life point meter, "What's that?"

"It's a magic shadow box!" replied a voice with Spanish accent.

"Yeah, just like back in the day," came another voice, with a cowboy accent.

The Ra boys looked to see two men in front of him, with duel disc attached to their arms, "We got company, private," Hassleberry said.

"And not the kind you invite for milk and cookies," Syrus added, "Who are you?"

"Speak up!" Hassleberry spat.

"You can call me, Frost!" the Spanish man said.

"Yeah, and I'm Thunder!" the purple haired man said.

"What did you guys do to Mr. Muto?" Syrus asked.

"Oh him," Thunder said, "He's taking a rest."

Frost jumped onto the glass panel, "I'd be worried about yourselves," he said, "cuz, you guys are comin' with us."

"And why would we do something like that," Hassleberry snarled.

"Simple, because of you don't then you boys are gonna take a one way trip to the Shadow Realm," Thunder replied.

"There's no such thing!" Syrus yelled.

"Time to find out!" Frost and Thunder declared.

Syrus and Hassleberry placed the discs to their arms, "Get your game on!" they said, in unison.

"Cute," Frost commented, as he places his Deck into his disc and the other duelists placed there's, "But cute doesn't cut it, when you throw down with the Light Bridge!" (F: 4000)-(H: 4000) (S: 4000)-(T: 4000)

(AN: you guys seen this episode before so, I'll skip the duel)

Aster was walking on the streets, thinking about the clouds hovering above his head. He heard a moan in a nearby alley and he turned his head to see a familiar unconscious figure, "Jordan!" He dashed over to the blonde Ra, who was regaining consciousness.

Jordan opened his eyes and his vision was getting clear, "Aster," he got onto his knee, but winced as he clutched his shoulder.

"What is it?" Aster said, kneeing to the blonde. He looked at Jordan's bleeding shoulder, "What the hell happened to you!?!"

Jordan winced, "I don't know, but it happened to fast," he said.

"Let me see that wound," Aster ordered, as Jordan removed his hand and spotted a familiar bite mark, "N…no way," he said, "That demon is here in the city!"

Jordan's fear was growing, "You mean that monster," he squeaked and winced.

"We better on back to my trailer for a first aid kit," Aster said.

-.-.-.-.-.-.-

Meanwhile, Yusuke, Kari, Jade and Jaden ran into the city looking for Mr. Muto, "Grandpa!" Kari called out.

"Mr. Muto!" Jaden called out. They pasted an alley where a loud moan was heard, which made the four teens walk back to see Mr. Muto lying on a couple of trash bags, "There you are!" Yusuke said, in a happy expression as he and the others ran towards the old man, who was regaining consciousness.

"Mommy, I don't want spinach," he said, unconsciously, "No more, please."

"What happened to you, Grandpa!?!" Yusuke asked.

"Two young lads attacked me and stole my bandana," Mr. Muto patted his head, "I'm kinda having a bad hair day!"

"Guys,"

They looked to see Aster, behind them, with Jordan walking from behind the pro duelist, clutching his shoulder, "Jordan, what happened!?!" Jade asked.

Jordan clutched his shoulder, "We have another problem," he said, "You remember that demon from Academy Island, right?"

Jaden gaped his mouth open. 'Damn it,' he thought

"Demon!" Mr. Muto wailed in fear.

"Yeah?" Yusuke said, "Don't tell that he's in the city, right now!"

"The bite mark on Jordan's shoulder confirms it, Yusuke," Aster said.

Yusuke grabs his PDA communicator from his pocket, "Yusuke, what are you doing?" Mr. Muto asked his grandson.

"I'm callin' the girls," Yusuke said, "If that demon is in the city, then I want them to hide in the safest place possible!"

Jaden's insides were shaking, 'Somethin' tells me that they'll be safe, even if you don't warn them,' he thought.

"Yusuke, hold on!" Kari said, stopping her brother.

"What is it, Hikari?" Yusuke said.

"Doesn't feel strange that this demon somehow just bites some of our friends and only injures the Society Geeks?" Kari said.

"What are you saying?" Yusuke said.

"I'm getting the feeling that this demon probably won't kill the girls," Kari said. "Just bite them and don't forget if Keiko and Ryoko are in trouble, they'll have Kagome and Sakura, with them to hold that monster off. Come on let's find both Syrus and Hassleberry!"

"Hey guys, look!" Jade looked in the sky to see that it was clear.

"It looks like the storm is clear," Aster said.

"Wrong, it's just getting started."

They looked to see Frost at the other side of the street, with his arms crossed, "What up, boys?" he greeted.

"Who are you!?!" Jaden asked

"Chill out," Frost said, "You can call me, Frost. You guys look lost can I help."

Aster narrowed his eyes, "Maybe, our friends are missing," he said, "Have you seen them?"

Kari looked at Aster, "You don't think…"

Frost chuckled, evilly, "I know exactly, where they are." Just then the arena started to snow, "Right now, you're getting colder," he said, "Think higher altitude!"

"Tell us!" Yusuke demanded, "Otherwise, you'll be taking a ride on an ambulance."

Frost laughed, as the wind come and blow and he disappeared, "He's gone!" Mr. Muto said.

"Jaden, now it's the time," Demon Jaden said, "You know what will happen if you choose to disobey."

"I get it," Jaden snarled at his demonic said, "Yusuke, you, Mr. Muto, Kari and Jade go one way to find Syrus and Hassleberry, while me, Aster and Jordan go the other way."

"Right?" Yusuke said, as they split up into two groups.

"Hey Jaden," Aster said, "What about Jordan? You know that he needs medical treatment for his wound."

"Don't worry," Jaden said, "That wound has already been healed."

Jordan let's go of his shoulder and patted it, "Hey it's healed!" he said, he said, with a smile.

"But, how did you know that?" Aster said.

Jaden gulped, "It's about that demon who's responsible for those attacks," he said. "Right now, we'll get both Jasmine and Mindy."

"How would those two prove to be useful?" Aster asked.

"Because they were infected with the demonic transmigration." Jaden said. "As well as you, Jordan, as well as Keiko."

"What!" Aster and Jordan snapped, as they stopped, "How did you know that!?!" Aster snapped.

Jaden gulped, "The demon that infected you guys and as well as the attack on Chazz…" he said, "…was me."

This shocked both Aster and Jordan…

-.-.-.-.-.-.-

At the store……

Keiko got out of the changing rooms, after trying out clothes and neither of them she didn't want. Just then, a clerk, with long black hair, ran to her, "Excuse me, miss, but are you Keiko Ukimura."

The brunette nodded, "Yes, I am." She replied.

"Your friends said that, they've gone back to their hotels and will meet you there." The clerk said as she left the fuming brunette, 'This is what I'd expect from Yusuke, but from them.' She thought

She stormed out of the store, with a growing anger of her 'friends'. While inside the store, Ryoko and Sakura got out of the changing room and spotted Kagome by the clothes section, "Hey what happened to Keiko?" Kagome asked.

"She must be still changing," Sakura replied.

Just then, the clerk came be the girls, "Excuse me, but are you friends with a Ms. Keiko Ukimura?"

"Yeah," Kagome replied.

"She said that she'll meet with you guys at the hotel," the clerk said.

"She walked to the hotel," Ryoko repeated.

"Thanks for telling us, that," Sakura said, as the clerk bowed and walked away, with an evil smirk.

Kagome noticed something odd about that clerk, "Hey wait!" she lunged at the clerk, which taking the clerk down with her. Sakura and Ryoko ran to the priestess reincarnate, who was holding the 'clerk' down, "Hey Kagome, what's are you doing?" Sakura asked.

Kagome turned over the clerk and glared at her face, "What have you done with Keiko!?!" she yelled.

The clerk chuckled, "Your friend has walked into Master Sartorius's trap."

The three girls gasped.

-.-.-.-.-.-.-

Still mad at her friends, Keiko walked in the streets, unaware that two figures in white uniforms are following her. Keiko noticed two people in Obelisk white female uniforms in front walking towards her, 'The Society of Light…' she thought as she turned around to see two more Society girls walking towards her.

Just as she was going to make a run of it, the four white girls jumped and grabbed the brunette, "Let me go!" Keiko demanded, trying to get lose from their grips but no avail.

"Sorry, but you'll be used as bait to lure your boyfriend and Jaden to Master Sartorius's trap." One of the girls, with long blue hair said.

"Used as bait!" Keiko yelled.

One of the girls, with red shoulder-length hair got her PDA communicator out and pressed the button and Chazz's face on the screen, "So, Erica, you have Keiko?" he asked.

"Yeah, but she's putting a fight, right now," Erica replied.

"Good, I'll be there in 10 minutes," Chazz said, "See, if her friends doesn't find her before I get there." The screen was off.

"Why are you fighting us?" one of the girls, with long hair black hair said, "You'll never get free from our grip."

Keiko was now beyond angry, 'Great, why do I have to be so weak that I'd have to be used to have Yusuke's enemies,' she thought, 'It's that damn Sartorius and his Society of Light, I wish I can…' Suddenly, her mind went blank and she stopped struggling, as her bangs covered her eyes.

"Hey Erica," the blunette said, "It looks like she's stop struggling."

Erica scoffed, "It's about time," she said.

"Hey geeks," Keiko insulted, "I'd suggest I'll let me go now to avoid physical injuries."

The girls laughed, "Oh yeah," Erica said, "Your boyfriend nor his sister aren't here to do that to us."

Keiko grinned, showing her fangs, "Who said anything that Yusuke or Kari is even here?" she said, glaring at Erica with her red glowing eyes, "You were all warned." She said, in a demonic tone.

Just then, there were screams of agony and pain heard from the alley.

Ten minutes later, a white limo approaches and Chazz got out. When he looked in front, he was horrified, "Oh my…" he murmured, as he gazed at the badly injured bodies of the four unconscious Society girls, but no Keiko at site.

Chazz's eyebrow twitching, "Oh no…" he whispered, as he took a step back, "They didn't…"

He heard a painful moan at his right. Chazz gasped as he dashed towards a barely conscious Erica, who was lying on her back, "C…Chazz…I'm so..so.." she said, trying to open her green eyes.

Chazz kneeled to the ground and lifted Erica's upper body, "Erica, who did this?" he asked, "Wasn't it the Urameshi twins, who did this or those any of their friends?"

Erica shook her head, "No…but it happened so fast…we didn't stand a chance against..." she murmured, as she pasted out.

"Wake up! Erica, wake up!" Chazz lowered Erica back down, "Oh my god…" he whispered, "Who could have done this?"

Chazz's PDA communicator rung and the petrified boy got it from his pocket and Alexis's face was shown, "Chazz, how did it go?" she asked.

"A…Alexis, we got a problem," Chazz said, "A very big problem!"

"What is it?" Alexis asked.

"There's some good news and bad news," Chazz said, "The good news is that Frost captured Syrus and Hassleberry."

"What about Keiko?" Alexis asked, "Did you happen to get her?"

"Th…that's the bad news, Alexis," Chazz said. "When I got out of the car, I found four of our Society girls battered and badly injured and Keiko wasn't in site!"

"You're fucking kidding me! Erica is supposed to be a 1st degree black belt in any form of Martial Arts and Keiko's no fighter!" Alexis yelled. "How did Keiko escape?"

Chazz gulped, "I have no idea," he replied, "Plus, Yusuke and his demon group didn't do...!"

There were a couple of growls behind Chazz. The gray haired Princeton turned to see two wolf-like dogs, with gray and brown fur, behind him, "BACK OFF YOU MANGY MUTTS!" Chazz roared.

The dogs barked at the white student, which was a sign that they aren't listening to him as they advanced towards him. Chazz looked at his other side to see three more dogs behind him, "Chazz," Alexis called out, "Chazz, answer me, dammit! What the hell's going on there!?!"

Chazz realized that he was surrounded by dogs, 'What the hell do these dogs wants?' he thought, "Chazz!" Alexis called out with annoyance.

Chazz knew that with his broken arm, he couldn't do a thing, "Chazz, are you there!?!"

Chazz grunted, "SHUT THE FUCK UP!" he yelled at Alexis, "I'M SURROUNDED BY…"

A rock hard blow was sent to Chazz's stomach and he flew towards a wall, as he let's go of his PDA communicator. His back hit the wall hard and he slid to the ground, "Chazz, what the hell's going on!?"

A shadow towered Chazz's PDA communicator and smashed it with its yellow boat.

-.-.-.-.-.-

Alexis was at the other side of the deluxe hotel, when her PDA communicator, went blank, "Chazz, are you there!" she yelled, "Chazz! Chazz! Damn it to Hell!"

Just then, there was a yell of pain was heard, "What the…" Alexis murmured as she dashed to see the white students getting attacked by a pack of wolf-like dogs, "What are these dogs doing here?" she asked.

One of the dogs charged at one of the Society members, who was running from it and jumped on them. The dogs were biting and badly wounding the Society members.

Just then, a Society member with blue hair and glasses was running inside the hotel, but the dogs blocked his path, "Oh man…" he muttered, as he turned to see two more dogs coming towards him.

"Am I really gonna die, here!?!" the boy murmured in fear, "Nice doggies." He said, but got the dogs advancing further to him. The dogs charged at him and jumped to end the boy's life. The boy braced himself from the dogs' teeth, but heard and hitting noise.

The dogs were sent flying to the ground. The boy looked up to see, his savior was a blonde haired girl, "Are you okay?" Alexis asked, eying the boy.

The boy nodded, in reply, "Then, get out of the way," Alexis ordered, as the dogs charged after her, but she kicked them away from her, "Get lost, you mutts!" she demanded.

The dogs charged at the blonde, but Alexis jumped away from one of them. The two dogs came from behind her, but she kicked them away. She landed on the ground and ducked as another dog came for her.

Another batch of dogs came for her and Alexis charged at them, giving a battle cry, "Get lost!" she roared as she punched them in the jaw and side-kicked them in the stomach. More dogs charged at the blonde, but was went flying to the ground. One dog tried to jump her from behind, but Alexis evaded its attack and grabs the tail, "Don't you dogs ever heard of rest!?!" she wondered, as she threw the dog to a batch of dogs coming towards her.

Alexis panted, knowing that she can't keep doing this forever and wondered where the hell are these dogs are coming from, "Damn it!" she said, kicking them in the jaw.

"Invisible Flash!"

Suddenly, a force hits Alexis hard enough for her to hit a nearby wall and fall onto the ground. Alexis gets up on one knee and griped her ribcage, "What the hell…" she muttered, looking at the dogs who were charging at her. She gasped and braced herself from the teeth.

Suddenly, a whistle was heard, which made the dogs stop their assault and calmed down.

"Huh?" Alexis looked in front to see that the dogs have calmed down, 'What's going on here?' she wondered.

A couple of demonic chuckles were heard and Alexis looked up to see two familiar figures, "You are really pathetic, Alexis." Mindy said, walking inside the hotel gate, with Jasmine. The two girls had bangs covering their eyes.

"Huh!? Jasmine, Mindy," Alexis said, "What the hell's going on here?"

"What you didn't know."

Alexis turned her head to see Aster and Jordan walking inside the hotel gate, with bangs covering their eyes, "Aster…Jordan…" Alexis wondered, "What the hell are you two doing here!?!"

"Cut the bullshit, Geek," Jordan sneered, showing his red glowing eyes, "We came Sartorious's head."

Alexis gasped, realizing what her cousin's appearance, "How the hell did…"

Aster, Jasmine and Mindy glared at Alexis's with red glowing eyes, "And we're not leaving til we get it," Aster said with a grin, showing his fangs.

Aster and Jordan's faces showed purple streaks below the eyes, while as Jasmine and Mindy's faces showed two orange claw marks below the eyes, "Now stand aside," Jasmine sneered

"Before, you'll take an one-way, all-expense trip to the Emergency Ward," Mindy added, cracking her claws

Alexis grunts, "along, with the rest of your fellow geeks," Mindy added.

-.-.-.-.-.-.-

Chazz grunts as he looked up to his attacker. It was a feminine figure, wearing a female Ra Yellow uniform, with short brown hair. She had red glowing eyes, with blue pupils and two orange claw marks below the eyes. She had her arms crossed and chuckled, "Well, well, well, it looks like 'The Chazz' will be in the brink of death," she sneered.

Chazz gaped his mouth, "Ke…Keiko," he murmured, looking at Keiko's red eyes and his mouth opened even wider, 'Those eyes.' he thought, as he remembered the last time that he saw them, 'It can't be...they have the same eyes!'
