Chapter 30: The GX Tournament Begins

As we begin this new day on Duel Academy, it is the start of the GX tournament and we find Syrus dueling a Slifer Red student in front of the Slifer Red dorm with Ryoko watching for the sidelines. Syrus doesn't have any monsters on his side of the field, two cards in his hand, and 1600 life-points remaining while the Slifer Red student has 1200 life-points remaining and one Berserk Gorilla (A: 2000/D: 1000) on the field in attack mode. Syrus then draws one card from his deck and looks at it.

Syrus then says, putting one card on his duel disk, "I summon Jetroid in attack mode!" Soon after, Jetroid (A: 1200/D: 1800) appears on the field in attack mode.

The Slifer Red student says, confidently, "So, what?! It doesn't stand a chance against my monster, so, you are out of luck!"

Syrus smiles confidently, looks at his hand, which contains a Magic Cylinder trap card, and thinks, 'That's what he thinks, but as soon as he attacks, my Jetroid's special ability comes into play, allowing me to play when one trap card from my hand! And with Magic Cylinder, his attack will backfire, leaving me one GX medal richer!' Syrus giggles and tells the Slifer Red student, "Hey, Mr. Big Shot, I may be little, but I duel big!"

The Slifer Red draws one card from his deck and exclaims, "So, what?! Watch this!" The Slifer Red looks at his card and exclaims, "I sacrifice my Berserk Gorilla to summon Jinzo!" The huge gorilla vanishes as Jinzo (A: 2400/D: 1500) comes in to take its place in attack mode.

Syrus panics and thinks in his mind, very worriedly, 'Oh no! With Jinzo on the field, I can't use traps!'

The Slifer Red student yells out, "Jinzo, attack!" Jinzo launches a sphere of energy against Jetroid, destroying it, and costing Syrus exactly 1400 life-points.

Ryoko asks Syrus, worriedly, "Are you okay, Syrus?"

Syrus tells Ryoko, with a reassuring smile, "I'm fine, Ryoko. I'll get him!" Syrus thinks in his mind, 'Oh, man! Guess I don't duel so big!'

The Slifer Red student then states, in a cocky smile, "Guess you don't duel so big, huh?"

Current Score:

Syrus: 200

Slifer Red student: 1200

Syrus draws one card from his deck and says, solemnly, "Exactly what I was thinking." Syrus puts one card in the spell/trap slots and says, "I play Pot of Greed." Syrus draws two cards from his deck and says, "Give me something." When Syrus sees Expressroid (A: 400/D: 1600) and Vehicroid Connection Zone spell card in his hand, he says to himself, with a smile, "Yes." Syrus puts one card on his duel disk and calls out, "Now, I summon my Expressroid in attack mode!" Expressroid (A: 400/D: 1600) then comes to the field in attack mode and Syrus declares, "And now, he picks up two passengers! So, two monsters return from my graveyard to my hand!" Soon after he says this, Stealthroid (A: 1200/D: 0) and Drillroid (A: 1600/D: 1600) monster cards return to his hand from the graveyard. Syrus puts a card in the spell/trap slots and calls out, "Now, I play my Vehicroid Connection Zone! So, I send my Expressroid, Stealthroid, Truckroid, and Drillroid to the graveyard to summon my Super Vehicroid Stealth Union!" Syrus discards the monster cards to the graveyard, takes one fusion monster card from his fusion deck, and assembling like a robot on an anime show, Super Vehicroid Stealth Union (A: 3600) appears on the field in attack mode.

The Slifer Red student panics and exclaims, "Wait! I take it back! I don't want to duel you anymore!"

Syrus roars out, "Too late for that, pal!" Syrus's monster attacks Jinzo, destroying it, and costing the Slifer Red student 1200 life-point, ending the duel.

Final Score:

Syrus: 200

Slifer Red student: 0

After the holograms fade away, the Slifer Red student falls to his knees and Syrus says, confidently, "Ha! Hopefully, now, you've learned to pick on someone your own size!"

The Slifer Red student exclaims, "But you are my size!" The Slifer Red student then starts to cry over his loss.

Ryoko goes over to Syrus and tells him, "Syrus, you did it! That was wonderful!"

Syrus blushes in embarrassment and replies, with a nervous smile, "Ah! It was nothing." However, Ryoko throws her arms around his neck, hugging him and kisses him on the left cheek causing Syrus to really blush red and he thinks, 'But then again, maybe it wasn't if I got another kiss from Ryoko!'

Elsewhere, in front of the Ra Yellow Dorms, we find Hassleberry dueling against another Ra Yellow student in front of the Ra Yellow Dorms. Hassleberry has Element Saurus (A: 1500/D: 1200) and Giant Rex (A: 2000/D: 1000) on the field, both monsters in attack mode, and Hassleberry has 1600 life-points remaining while his opponent has 2300 life-points remaining as well as Big Shield Gardna (A: 100/D: 2600) and Gear Golem the Moving Fortress (A: 800/D: 2200), both monsters in defense mode, and Type Zero Magic Crusher trap card on the field.

The Ra Yellow student exclaims, "Summon all the dinosaurs that you want! See if I care! They will never get by my front line!"

Hassleberry thinks in his mind, "This guy is one solider short of a platoon. He forgot the number one cardinal rule of dueling: Never get between a hungry dinosaur and his next meal!" Hassleberry draws one card from his deck and exclaims, "All right, boys, chow time!" Hassleberry looks at his card and calls out, "Now, I sacrifice my Element Saurus and Giant Rex to summon Black Tyranno!" The two monsters in question vanished off the field as they were sacrificed and Black Tyranno (A: 2600/D: 1800) comes to the field in attack mode. Hassleberry tells his opponent, "And as they say When offensive monsters you be lacking, Black Tyranno comes attacking……directly!" Hassleberry's eyes turn into dinosaur like slits as his opponent gasps in shock. Hassleberry then calls out, "Black Tyranno, forward march!" Black Tyranno roars as it uses his special ability to bypass Big Shield Gardna and Gear Golem to strike at the student directly, costing him 2600 life-points, ending the duel immediately.

Final Score:

Hassleberry: 1600

Ra Yellow student: 0

When the final holograms fade away, Hassleberry yells out a victory cry at his first GX tournament win.

Next, we come to another portion of the island where we find Kagome against another Ra Yellow student and she has one Dark Magician Girl (A: 2000/D: 1700) in attack mode and one card face-down with 1200 life-points remaining. Her opponent, a Ra Yellow student with light brown hair and light blue eyes, has Perfect Machine King (A: 3200/D: 2200) and Barrel Dragon (A: 2600/D: 2000) on the field in attack mode, no face-down cards, and 2400 life-points remaining and it is his turn since he already drew a card.

The Ra Yellow student calls out, "Now, I play my Barrel Dragon's special effect! I flip a coin three times and if it comes out heads two of the three times, you are done." The Ra Yellow student flips a coin three times and it came heads three times. The Ra Yellow student calls out, seriously, "Say goodbye to Dark Magician Girl!" Dark Magician Girl screams out as she is destroyed by Barrel Dragon's special ability.

Kagome shouts out, shocked, "Dark Magician Girl!"

The Ra Yellow student calls out, "Now, Perfect Machine King, attack her life-points directly!" Perfect Machine King fires a stream of missiles at Kagome directly.

Kagome presses a button on her disc and calls out, "Hold on, pal! You've triggered my Mirror Force trap card!" Perfect Machine King's attack backfires causing both monsters on the Ra Yellow student's side of the field to be destroyed.

The Ra Yellow student puts one card in the spell/trap slots and says, "I end my turn!"

Kagome draws one card from her deck, looks at the card, and exclaims, "Yes, it is time to end this duel!" Kagome puts one card in the spell/trap slots and calls out, "Now, I play my Polymerization! So, I fuse my Marie the Fallen One with the Forgiving Maiden!" Kagome discards the two cards from her hand, Marie the Fallen One (A: 1700/D: 1200) and Forgiving Maiden (A: 800/D: 2000) appear on the field and go into a fusion vortex, Mina calls out, "Here comes one of my best monsters! Saint Joan!" Out of the fusion vortex, Saint Joan (A: 2800/D: 2000) appears on the field in attack mode.

The Ra Yellow student presses a button on his disc and shouts out, "And now, I play my trap! Smile Ball!" The Ra Yellow student's face-down card is revealed to be the Smile Ball trap card and he calls out, "Now, your monster that you just summoned is destroyed and her attack points are added to my life-points!" St. Joan explodes as he is destroyed and the Ra Yellow student's life-points increase by 2800.

Kagome puts one card in the spell/trap slots and calls out, "That card is perfect for you, creep! But I've got another plan! I use my Re-Fusion and pay 800 life-points to bring back my St. Joan!" Kagome's life-points drop by 800 and St. Joan comes back to the field in attack mode.

The Ra Yellow student says, "So, what? It can't get rid of all my life-points."

Kagome puts the final card in her hand into the spell/trap slots of her duel disk and calls out, "Wrong! I play my Megamorph spell! I equip to my Saint Joan and since my life-points are less than yours, her attack and defense points double!" St. Joan's stats increase from 2800/2000 to 5600/4000.

The Ra Yellow student gasps in shock and exclaims, "Oh no! I'm done for!"

Kagome tells the Ra Yellow student, "That's right! Saint Joan, attack!" Kagome's monster uses its blade to slash at Kagome's opponent, costing him 5600 life-points and ending the duel immediately.

Final Score:

Kagome: 400

Ra Yellow student: 0

The Ra Yellow student falls to his knees and says, lowly, "Ah, man. Beaten by that girl."

Kagome shouts out happily and exclaims, "And don't you forget it!"

By the schoolyard, we find some of the SOL members talking and getting ready for duels.

Just then, a familiar feminine voice boomed, "Well, well, well…what do we have here?"

The SOL members looked to see Yusuke and Hikari Urameshi, Sasuke Uchiha, Bastion Misawa, Keiko Yukimura, Mina and Kino Tucker with vicious smirks on their faces and Bastion sneers, "Yes…a bunch of Society Geeks ready to be put in their places!"

Mina says, "Well said…"

This got the SOL members angry and one of them yells, "Why do you put your deck where your mouth is!?"

Our group stepped up and Yusuke says, with a sly smirk, "Famous, last words…"

At the beach, we find Jordan and Jade walking on the sidelines where some of the students were dueling.

Just then, a familiar male voice boomed out, "Hey Jordan…Jade!"

The couple turned to see Syrus and Ryoko running towards them and Jade says, "Hey guys, how are you holding up?"

Syrus took out two metals from his blazer pocket and Ryoko took out three metals from her pocket and Syrus says, "I've been doing great, while Ryoko is doing better than me…"

Ryoko giggled and says, "Don't worry, Sy, I'm sure that you'll get another duel." Ryoko asks Jordan and Jade, "How are you two are doing?"

Jordan takes out three metals from his pocket, while Jade takes out four metals from her pocket and Jade says, "I think I've faired enough in this tournament…" Jade heard footsteps coming from behind and she and her friends and boyfriend turned to see their former white clad friends Chazz and Alexis staring them down, with two white students behind them and Jordan asks, nastily, "What the hell do you freaks want!?"

Chazz exclaims, in a cold and serious tone, "Alexis and I figured that it's time for you and your friends to see the light!"

Jade says, nastily, "I know how to speak Society Geek-a-nese, Princeton! It means that you want to get your ass kicked!"

Chazz says, "I'm not your opponent!" Then, Alexis notions a familiar face known as Missy, the female duelist from Obelisk Blue that Syrus dueled in his promotion duel', blocking their path. However, she is glad in white, including white high-heeled shoes and white colored lips.

Ryoko asks, perplexed, "Isn't that Missy? Isn't she the female bug duelist that has a major crush on Zane and that Sy dueled in his promotion duel to be promoted to Ra Yellow?"

Chazz tells Ryoko, "That's right, dork! Missy, here, is willing to get some major payback on that shrimp of a boyfriend of yours…since their last duel…"

Missy points towards Syrus and says, "And now, you, shrimp, it is time that you see the light. Thanks to the power of the light of truth from Master Sartorius and destiny, you will join the rest of us in the Society of Light."

Syrus says, in a tone that's not like him, "I hope that you keep me entertained, you insect obsessing bitch!"

Chazz and Alexis gasped in shock and Chazz yells out, "Did you hear what the twerp just said?"

Alexis says, in shock, "I think I just did…"

Syrus takes out his dueling deck, and insert it into his duel disk causing a slight dark glow to be noticed by everyone.

Alexis asks, perplexed, "What was that from Syrus's deck?"

Chazz says, in a serious tone, "Whatever it is, I don't like it. It is giving off a dark aura."

Syrus thinks in his mind, with a dark sly grin on his lips, 'You don't know even the half of it.'

Missy snarls, as she activates her duel disc, "You're gonna pay for that insult, runt!"

Syrus says, "That's what you said last time, white geek, or did being in the Society of Trash weakened your memory!"

Syrus and Missy yell out in unison, "Game on!"

Starting Score:

Missy: 4000

Syrus: 4000

Syrus says, in a nasty tone, "Loser's first, dork!"

Missy draws one card from her deck and says, annoyed, "Fine! And you will regret those words!" Missy looks at her hand, puts one card on his duel disk, and says, "I summon Pickle Fairy in defense mode!" Soon after, Pickle Fairy (A: 300/D: 2000) appears on the field in defense mode. Missy says, with a cold grin, "Sorry twerp, as long as this monster stays on the field, you can't touch my insect monsters!"

Jade says, nastily, "Give me a break, Missy! My cousin defeated once and he'll do it again!"

Chazz yells out, "That's where you're wrong, Jade!"

Jordan yells out, nastily, "Did my girlfriend ask for your comments, jackass!?"

Alexis yells out, "Now that's enough, Jordan!"

Jordan yells out, "Don't talk to me as if you're my mother, wench!"

Alexis winced, as her expression softened and thinks in her mind, 'Jordy…what's gotten into you? Do you hate me now that much?'

Syrus says, in an insulting tone, "Please, is that all you've got? I've seen better moves from preschoolers!"

Chazz states, winching in surprise, "Geez, what is up with him?! It's like the twerp that's dueling Missy isn't Syrus at all."

Syrus tells Missy, with a sly smile on his lips, "Now, I think it is time that we take this duel to the next level, don't you?"

Missy asks Syrus, perplexed, "What are you talking about, dork?!" Just then Syrus's whole body becomes surrounded in a dark violet aura surprising practically Chazz, the SOL member, and Alexis, while Ryoko, Jordan and Jade had dark sly grins on their lips. Soon enough, Syrus's hair and bits of sand rise a bit into the air slightly as the ground around him, kicks up with a slight wind.

Alexis asks, perplexed, "What the hell's going on here!?"

Syrus exclaims, in a dark tone, "You're about to find the answer to your question, wench! This rotten geek here is about to experience that first-hand…in a Shadow Game!"

Missy and the other SOL members yell out in shock, "Shadow Game?!"

Syrus states, in a dark annoyed tone, "Is there some kind of echo around here?! Yes, a Shadow Game! Now, get ready, dork for a game like you've never experienced before and pray that you'll never experience ever again…if you survive this one!" Just then black metal bars rise up from the sand around Missy and Syrus, the bars unite together to become a black metal cage with spikes, and then the sand around them transforms into glass-like panels below their feet.

Missy exclaims, perplexed and confused, "What the hell?! What's going on here?!"

Syrus tells Missy, nastily, "Hello, you mindless tool! Didn't I mention that this is a Shadow Game now or being in the Society of Trash weakened that hearing of yours 'old lady'?"

Missy yells out, angrily, "Why you little?!"

Syrus tells Missy, in a dark sly tone, "You and your fellow geeks might have 'seen the light', but guess what?! I've gotten the power to pay you freaks for turning me into a compact car and luring my friends into your dirty trap!"

Chazz gawks out, stunned, "How did the twerp know how to bring a Shadow Game?!"

Alexis says, in a confused tone, "I don't know…"

Syrus tells Missy, with a dark sly tone, "Now, let's see which is stronger: Light or darkness? Unless you want to chicken out like the coward you truly are!"

Alexis tells Missy, seriously, "Don't do this, Missy! Syrus has obvious gone insane!"

Missy yells out, in a serious tone, "Fine! I can beat you at your own game!"

Syrus tells Missy, in a dark confident tone, "It's your funeral, freak! Now, let me explain the rules of this Shadow Game: This 'shadow cage' prevents anyone from getting in and either of us from getting out until the duel is over. Normally, when the duel ends, the loser's soul is sent to the Shadow Realm, but I've decided to be nice and make that rule null and void. However, that doesn't mean you're safe! When this duel ends, you will lose something to the shadows…and let's just say that you and your geeky friends won't like it." Syrus then taps his floor on the glass-like surface and he says, "But it gets worse for you, loser, much worse. See this special glass panels?"

Missy asks, annoyed, "Yeah, so?"

As Syrus draws one card from his deck, he says, darkly, "I'm glad that you asked because you are about to find out." Syrus puts one card in the spell/trap slots and says, "I play Shield Crash, so that means your little fairy is destroyed!"

Before Missy can act, her monster was destroyed and Syrus places a card onto the disc and says, "Next, I summon Steamroid in attack mode!" Soon after, Steamroid (A: 1800/D: 1800) appears on the field and Syrus roars out, "Now Steamroid, attack that bitch's life points directly!" Steamroid rushes towards Missy and blows smoke in her way and causing Missy to lose 1800 points. But just then the glass panels zap Missy with powerful dark electric shock and she screams out in extreme pain.

Chazz, Alexis and the SOL member exclaim in horror and shock, "Missy!"

When the dark lightning shock stops, Missy takes a while to catch her breath and states, perplexed, "What…What in the hell was that?"

Syrus tells Missy, with a dark sly smirk, "Didn't I warn you about them? They're called 'Shadow Shockers'. Nice name, huh? You see, every time we lose life-points, we get shocked by dark lightning coming from those panels and the length of the shock depends on the amount of life-points that you or I lose. Makes the game more 'electrifying' doesn't it?" Syrus then gives a slight dark giggle as his dark sly smile becomes even wider.

Chazz yells at Syrus, angrily, "What in the hell are you trying to prove, Syrus?! Do you hate us so much that would do something this insane?!"

Alexis states, stunned, "I knew that Syrus was mad at us, but I never thought he would go this far!"

Missy asks Syrus, annoyed, "Well, is that all you've got?!"

Syrus puts three cards in the spell/trap slots and says, "I think that I've let you suffer enough, dork. I'll end with three facedowns."

Current Scores:

Missy: 2200

Syrus: 4000

Syrus tells Missy, in a dark annoyed tone, "Well, what are you waiting for, bitch? I would like get on with my life you know!"

Missy draws one card from her deck and says, annoyed, "Fine! You will pay for that, twerp!" Missy thinks in her mind, 'All I need to do is to see what that twerp's face-downs are and I can counter it!' However, all Missy can see is a dark violet cloud of darkness blocking her ability to see Syrus's face-down card. Missy thinks in her mind, 'What the hell? Why can't I see her facedown cards? Master Sartorius said that the light revealed all! Then what's going on here?! Why is my ability to see her face-down being blocked?!'

Syrus says, in a dark taunting tone, "What's the matter, dork?! Can't see my facedowns?! Can't use those powers of yours to predict my moves?! What a joke! And you said that you've 'seen the light'! But then again, bitch, you have to remember, that this is my world!"

Missy tells Syrus, in a plain tone, "What do you mean?!"

Syrus tells Missy, in a dark nasty tone, "What I mean you dumb dork is that you're playing by my rules and your pathetic powers don't work here in the shadows!"

Missy yells out, annoyed, "You're lying!"

Syrus then asks, in a dark sarcastic tone, "Then tell me what my facedowns is and prove me wrong."

Missy places a card into the spell/trap slot and says, "I don't need to see your pathetic facedown card, twerp! I activate Pot of Greed! Now I draw two cards from my Deck!" Missy draws two cards and puts one card on the disc and she says, "I play my Pinch hopper in attack mode!" Soon after, Pinch Hopper (A: 1000/D: 1200) appears on the field in attack mode.

Syrus says, with a dark wide grin, "Ha! What's that little bug going to do?! It doesn't have as much power as my Steamroid!"

Missy tells Syrus, as she puts one card in the spell/trap slots of her duel disk, "You will see, hon. Now, I play my Multiplication of Ants! This card allows me to sacrifice my Pinch Hopper in order to summon to Army Ant Tokens to the field!" Pinch Hopper leaves the field as it is sacrificed and two Army Ant Tokens (A: 500/D: 500 X2) take its place.

Syrus states, in a dark, simple and annoyed tone, "Oh, great. I've seen this trick before."

Missy then puts a card on her duel disk and says, "Then you know that my Pinch Hopper allows me to summon any insect monster from my deck. So, meet the diva of my deck! Insect Princess!" Soon after, Insect Princess (A: 1900/D: 1200) appears on the field in attack mode and Missy says, "Since I know that I'm going to win, you should know that my Insect Princess gains five hundred attack points for every insect monster that she crushes."

Syrus tells Missy, "Let me guess you have that Insect Garden!"

Missy opens her Field spell slot of her duel disk and says, "Bingo, twerp! I play my Insect Garden Field spell." Soon after, the whole field changes into one huge flower garden. Missy then says, "Now, all level four or below Insect monsters on my side can be transferred to your side. So, my insects would love to see your side of the field." Just then Missy's two Army Ant Tokens on her side of the field moves to positions on Syrus's side of the field and on both sides of his Steamroid. Missy then puts another card in the spell/trap slots and says, "Now, I activate my equip spell! Insect Pheromone! Now, when my Princess destroys a monster in battle, it can force one of your insects to rumble with her highness." Soon after, Missy puts the card in the spell/trap slots and exclaims, "Now, I equip my princess with light of truth with my White Veil spell card!" After she plays the card, Insect Princess's body turns pure white and her eyes dark emerald green. Missy then command, "Okay, my princess, destroy one of his ants!" Insect Princess move in to attack the first Army Ant Token and Missy says, with a evil grin on her lips, "And thanks to my sacred White Veil, all of your trap and spell cards are destroyed."

Chazz says, excitedly, "All right!"

Alexis says, with a sly grin, "That's right! When a monster equipped with White Veil attacks, all spell and trap cards on Syrus's side of the field are destroyed!" Alexis looks at Syrus's face, made his dark grin widener and thinks, 'Something is wrong here. For someone that knows the powers of White Veil so well, Syrus is too far relaxed! Actually, he looks glad that Missy played White Veil. Well, it can't be any of those face-down cards because they will be negated and destroyed by White Veil. Then why can't I get this bad feeling out of my mind?'

Syrus replies, with a dark sly grin, "Don't think so!" Syrus pushes a button on his duel disk and yells out, "Well, think again, bitch! Reveal trap! Go, Dark Veil!"

Chazz, Alexis and the SOL member gasp out in shock and yell out in unison, "Dark Veil?!"

Chazz yells out, shocked, "What is that?!"

Syrus tells Missy, in a dark sly tone, "Sorry, dork, but this card can't be destroyed by the effect of your pathetic White Veil spell card!"

Missy yells out, shocked, "No, it can't be!"

Syrus tells Missy, in a dark tone, "Oh, but it gets worse for you, loser!" Soon after, the dark aura from the hologram of Dark Veil trap card goes onto one of the ant tokens causing it to turn pitch black and its eyes to gain a crimson red glow. Syrus tells Missy, with a dark sly grin, "When this card activates, this card is equipped to one of my monsters and when a monster with Dark Veil is attacked, every single trap and spell card on your side of field is negated and destroyed, including your pathetic White Veil! Plus with every card destroyed by this effect, you lose 400 points!" Just then Missy's Insect Pheromone, Insect Garden and White Veil spell cards are destroyed, Missy's monster returns to its original color and Missy, herself, loses 1200 life points. Missy then screams out in pain as she is zapped by more dark lightning, but it ends faster than last shock.

Chazz says, stunned, "This is bad! That was Missy's only chance of victory!"

Alexis asks, perplexed, "Where did Syrus get such a card?!"

Missy roars out at Syrus, angrily, "Doesn't matter, freak! My attack is still going to happen!"

Insect Princess moves in to destroy the first Army Ant Token, taking 1400 of Syrus's life-points with that card. Syrus is shocked by the Shadow Shockers, but doesn't scream in pain. Missy is disturbed by this and asks, "Doesn't that hurt?"

Syrus says, in a dark sly smile, "Sorry, wench, I don't feel a thing!"

Missy growled and says, "Fine! Now my princess gains five points!" On the meanwhile, Insect Princess's stats increase to 2400/1500! Missy says, sliding a card into the spell/trap slot, "I'll end my turn by activating Dian Keto the Cure Master to increase my life points by 1000 points!" Missy's life points increases by 1000 points

Current Score:

Missy: 2000

Syrus: 2600

Syrus pushes a button on his duel disk and says, "But before I draw, I play this! My Solemn Wishes trap card! Thanks to this card, geek, are out of luck because thanks to this, every time that I draw card or cards from our decks, I gain 500 life-points apiece!" Syrus says, pushing a button on his duel disk and in dark excitement, "Next, I play my trap card! Solemn Curse!"

Missy asks, perplexed, "What is that card?"

Syrus replies, with a dark sly smile, "Glad that you asked! Thanks to this card, I gain life-points, you lose five hundred life-points automatically!"

Missy gasped in shock and exclaim, "No way!"

Syrus draws one card from his deck and says, darkly, "Yes, way! And since I draw, I gain five hundred life-points, thanks to Solemn Wishes!" Syrus's life-points then increase by 500, thanks to his trap card. Syrus's then calls out, darkly, "And you taste the pain, thanks to my Solemn Curse trap card!" Missy loses 500 life-points and she cry out in pain as the 'Shadow Shockers' give them a powerful electrical shock causing her smoking form to fall onto her hands and knees.

Chazz says, fearfully, "This is nuts! If this keeps on, Syrus may actually kill Missy!"

Alexis yells out, in a begging tone, "Syrus, stop it damn it! Missy may be a weird bitch, but this has gone long enough! This is inhumane!"

Syrus tells Alexis, in a dark tone, "And why should I care what you say, wench! If I'm not mistaken you and your goons lure Yusuke, Aster and Jaden to virtual world, by kidnapping both Hassleberry and I and the loser is trapped forever in that place and if memory serves me, Alexis, I remember the time that you threw cold water onto me, Jaden, Yusuke and Hassleberry and if recall you accused my best friend, Jaden of spying on you, when he had better things to do and forced him to duel that weirdo Bob Banter and if he refuses then he'll get expelled, while knowing that Crowler would listen to your side, instead of Jaden, considering that you knew that Crowler hated Jaden from the very beginning!" Syrus tells Missy, nastily, "All right, bitch, get up! On your feet! I want to take you down while standing up!"

Chazz says, fearfully, "He's not going to listen! Syrus, you're being absolutely cruel and that's saying a lot coming from me!"

Syrus tells Chazz, in a dark and sarcastic tone, "Why thank you! I've always wanted to be complemented by an overgrown white jerk!"

Alexis yells at Ryoko, in a horrified tone, "Ryoko, do something! You're his girlfriend! Tell him to stop!"

Ryoko looks at Alexis with an intense look of anger and malice that looks similar to Yoko Kurama, this scares the blond, and she then looks at Syrus, saying, with a dark sly tone, "Sy, make sure that Missy learns a lesson that she will never forget!"

Alexis gasps in horror and she thinks, horrified, 'You've got to be kidding me!'

Jade calls out, in a dark excited tone, "That's right, 'cuz! Make her suffer for what she's done!"

Jordan yells out, with a dark smile on his lips, "Yeah, no mercy for that bitch!"

Alexis gasps out in horror and thinks, flabbergasted, 'Oh no…Jordan, you too?!'

Syrus tells Missy, in a dark nasty tone, "I'm waiting, Fucker! Get to your feet loser!"

Missy stands on her feet and says, groaning out in pain, "I……I'm standing, dork."

Syrus says, in a dark annoyed tone, "About time." Syrus puts one card in the spell/trap slots and says, darkly, "Now, I play my Card of Sanctity! Both of us now draw until we have six cards in our hands! Now, draw!" Syrus and Missy then draw from their decks until they have six cards in their hands. Syrus tells Missy, nastily, "And thanks to Solemn Wish, I gain 500 life points, because I drew and thanks to Solemn Curse, you get 500 points of payback!" Missy wails in extreme pain as she's electrocuted by dark energy and she loses 500 points and Syrus's life points increases by 500 points. Syrus slids a card into the slot and says, "Next, I play Polymerization to fuse all three Cyber Dragons in my hand to summon…" Soon after, three Cyber Dragons (A: 2100/D: 1600) appears on the field.

Chazz says, in disbelief, "No way…can't be…"

Alexis says, in a similar tone, "How did he get those cards?"

Syrus says, darkly, "Meet my big brother's headliner of his deck, the Cyber End Dragon!" The three Cyber Dragons flew into the vortex and Cyber End Dragon (A: 4000/D: 2800) comes out of the vortex, with a frightening roar and lands behind Syrus.

Missy says, with a horrified tone, "That's Zane's dragon! You have that card!"

Syrus roars out, "That's right! Maybe this will teach you freaks not to turn Syrus Truesdale into some compact car! Now Cyber End Dragon, finish this bitch off with Super Strident Blaze!" Cyber End Dragon launches a blue beam of energy from its mouths right at Missy's Insect Princess, slamming into her with terrific force. Missy screams out in extreme pain from the force of Cyber End Dragon's attack slamming into her and her monster, which is vaporized into dust, and dark lightning zapping as Cyber End Dragon's assault takes away 1600 of her life-points ending the duel immediately in which a huge explosion result causing Missy to get engulfed in smoke.

Final Score:

Missy: 0

Syrus: 3600

Soon after, the remaining holograms fade away, the smoke clears to reveal Missy's unconscious form on the ground on her stomach, her uniform and body smoking, and his cards floating down from the air as they were sent flying from Cyber End Dragon's powerful attack.

Chazz, Alexis and the SOL member yells out in unison, horrified, "Missy!"

Syrus then calls out, with a dark smile on his lips, "That's game, geek!"

Ryoko, Jade and Jordan erupt in cheers as Ryoko goes over to Syrus, throws her arms around his neck, hugging him and tell Syrus, with a smile on her lips, "You were incredible, Sy!" She started showering Syrus's face with kisses, while Syrus was enjoying it as she pressed her lips onto his. Ryoko pulled back and smiled at Syrus and he tells Ryoko, with a sly grin on his lips, "It was nothing, Rye! If that the way that they duel, we will beat these useless tools in no time!"

Ryoko rubbed her cheek softly after Syrus's and says, in a lovingly tone, "If you keep making wins like that, you'll get a lot more than kisses, Sho-kun." Syrus blushes in response of his girlfriend's words.

Just then as Ryoko lets go of her boyfriend, a card floats down towards Syrus, Syrus takes into his hand, finds that it is Missy's White Veil spell cards, and without saying a word, he and Ryoko goes over towards Missy and the other SOL members, in who Chazz, Alexis and the SOL member have put into a sitting position and gently shaking her.

Alexis asks her, worriedly, "Missy! Missy, wake up!" Missy gives a slight groan of pain to show that she was still alive.

Syrus rolls his eyes and says, in an annoyed tone, "Oh please, don't blow a gasket, bitch! I didn't kill her! I don't like killing people no matter how rotten they really are! And plus, her dorky soul isn't in the Shadow Realm!" Everyone turns an angered glare towards Syrus, who has a sly grin on his lips.

Alexis asks, in total disbelief, "How could you, Syrus? How could you be so cruel? I know that you didn't like being kidnapped with Hassleberry to lure Yusuke, Jaden and Aster to virtual world in Kaibaland, but this was too far!"

Syrus scoffs at Alexis and says, darkly, "Ha! That pathetic bitch got what she deserved! She's committed great sins in the name of 'peace and justice' and now, she has paid the price! Hopefully, in the shadows, she will repent for her actions! What Missy got is simply what she truly deserved: Justice."

Alexis yells at Syrus, angrily, "Justice?! You call this Justice?!"

Ryoko tells Alexis, nastily, "No duh, bitch! You Society of Light members think you can do whatever you want to others because you think you are 'saving the world'! Well, I've got news for you, wench! Crimes like that don't go unpunished! And the universe chose people like the ones not wearing white and chanted annoyingly 'All hail the Light' shit to deliver that justice and give up dorks what you deserve!"

Syrus says, "Well said, Rye! But we aren't all that bad!" Syrus then displays Missy's White Veil spell card and says, "Look at the card that I picked up for Missy!"

Chazz exclaims, "Missy's White Veil spell card!"

Syrus says, in a dark tone, "Oh, that's what it was? In that case…" Then Syrus rips the card in half causing all SOL members to gasp in shock. Syrus then tears the remaindered of the card into sheds and blows the remains to the SOL members faces.

Chazz yells out at Syrus, "Why you little twerp!? You're gonna pay for…" Chazz wails in pain as dark electrocity shocks him and he then falls to his knees in pain. Jade lowers her right hand down and says, "Make another threat to my cousin, Princeton and you will not live long enough to regret it!"

Syrus says, nastily, "Oh yeah! I almost forgot!" He held his wrist up and sends dark lightning at the three SOL members, blasting them off their feet and away from Missy's unconscious form. Syrus goes over to Missy's form and grabs from her pockets, all of her two metals and Syrus tells the SOL members, nastily, "This is it! You geeks are even more pathetic than I thought!"

The male SOL member, who was with Chazz and Alexis, yells in a cold tone, "You wretches! You'll pay for what you did to Missy and The Chazz!"

Chazz grunts in pain and says, "Hey Thomas, be careful! Something is fucking up the nonbelievers minds!"

The SOL member known as Thomas says, "Don't worry, Chazz, I'll be careful! Remember I have destiny on my side!"

Syrus says, "You know that's the same thing that Missy said and look what happened to her! She's been turned to charcoal! Hey Jordy, show absolutely no mercy!"

Jordan gets out his duel disc and says, "Don't worry, Sy! This geek will be put in his place in no time!"

Thomas and Jordan says, in unison, "Game on!"

Starting Scores:

Thomas: 4000

Jordan: 4000

Thomas draws his card and says, "I'll begin!" Thomas looks at his hand, discards three cards from it, and states, "First, I will discard my Alpha, Beta, and Gamma warriors in order to summon my Valkyrion the Magna Warrior from my hand!" He puts the card on his duel disk and Valkyrion the Magna Warrior (A: 3500/D: 3800) appears on the field in attack mode. Thomas puts one card in the spell/trap slots and states, "I end my turn with this face-down!"

Jordan draws one card from his deck and says, darkly, "I assume that you are done, dork. So, now, it is time for the real game to begin." Just then Jordan's body begins to glow a dark violet aura.

Alexis stands up and yells out, shocked, "Not Jordan, too!" Soon after, black chains with shackles come up from the sand, snap onto two legs, two leg shackles for each duelist, and the whole dueling platform transforms into a glass-like surface.

Thomas asks Jordan, confused, "What is this?" Thomas tries to break free, but can't and exclaims, "I'm struck!"

Jordan eyes shoot open with dark gleams in his eyes and tells Thomas, darkly, "No duh, geek! This is a Shadow Game!"

Thomas yells out, shocked, "Shadow Game?!"

Jordan calls out, in a dark nasty tone, "Is there an echo in here, dweeb?! That's right! This is a Shadow Game! Let me put it simpler terms for you Society Dorks' mind to comprehend. Every time a duelist loses life-points, he get shocked by these 'Shadow Shockers' below us and we are chained and trapped here until the duel is over."

Alexis calls out, worriedly, "Jordan, please stop! This is madness!"

Jordan shouts out, darkly, "Shut it, wench! I told you that Sartorius was nothing but a brainwashing freak and begged you…hell both Atticus and I had to get on our knees, for you to drop out of the Society of Light, but did you listen…NO! It's time to pay price! You, Society Dweeb, are about to experience what happened to that white bitch, Missy, when she dueled against Syrus, unless, of course, you're too scared to face me."

Thomas calls out, in a cold annoyed tone, "Scared?!"

Jordan yells out, in a dark sarcastic tone, "Did that damn light of yours mess up your hearing or what, geek?! Yes, scared! Scared to prove which is stronger: Your damned light or our righteous darkness?!"

Thomas tells Jordan, in a cold serious tone, "All right, freak, you're going to get it now!"

Just then, a familiar male voice boomed out, "All right, I didn't miss anything yet!"

Everyone turned to see Atticus, running towards his friends and Alexis calls out, worriedly, "Atticus, please! Talk to Jordan! Tell him to stop this! He won't even listen to me!"

Atticus gave his sister a mixture of a Youko Kurama and Sesshomaru glare, which scares her, and says, in a dark tone, "Maybe, you know how your big brother, cousin and your friends felt when you didn't listen when we told you and Chazz to drop out of the Society of Light! You have no one but yourself to blame!"

Alexis calls out, in shock, "You're kidding me!"

Atticus calls out, darkly, "Sorry, twerp! I'm not joking! Hey Jordy…tear that Society Dork into shreds!"

Jordan puts one card in the spell/trap slots and says, darkly, "Will do, Atti! I activate Pot of Greed to draw two cards!" Jordan draws two cards from his deck, slids a card from spell/trap slots on his disc and says, "Next, I activate my Machine Curse spell! Now whenever I spell card is played, you get hit by 500 points of damage!"

Thomas yells out in shock, "You fucking kidding me!"

Jordan puts another card into the spell/trap slots and says, darkly, "Sorry, dweeb, I'm not done with you yet! I activate Polymerization! However, I get to that later! Now my Machine Curse activates, you get 500 points of pain!" Thomas yell out in pain and agony as his is shocked by dark electric energy from the panels that make up the dueling platform now and his life-points drop by 500.

When the shocking stops, Thomas says, in pain, "That hurt!"

Jordan tells Thomas, in a dark serious tone, "And it is going to hurt for the rest of the duel! This is payback for the lives that you stole in the name of your Society, your 'Master', and hurting my friends and big brother and taking my big sister away from me! Now I use Polymerization fuse my three Cyber Dragons together to summon…" Soon after, the three Cyber Dragons (A: 2100/D: 1600 X3) appears on the field and are sucked into the vortex and Cyber End Dragon (A: 4000/D: 2800) appears on the field behind Jordan. Jordan places a card into the slot and says, "Next, I activate Limiter Removal, but I'll get to that later. First, dork, you have a date with 500 points of pain!" Thomas wails in pain as he's shocked by dark electric energy from the panels and he loses 500 points from his life points. Jordan says, "Now thanks to Limiter Removal to double my Cyber End Dragon's attack points!"

Thomas gasps in horror as Jordan's dragon roars loudly as its stats increase from 4000/2800 to 8000/2800.

Thomas thinks in his mind, with a panicked look on his face, 'Don't panic, Thomas! This freak can't win! You have destiny on your side! When he attacks, I use my Magic Cylinder to reflect the damage to him and he'll see the light!'

Jordan slids another card into the spell/trap slot and says, "Next, I activate Card of Sanctity! But I'll get to that later, thanks to Machine Curse, you lose 500 points and taste the pain!"

Thomas cries in pain as he's shocked by the dark lightning and loses 500 life points. Jordan tells Thomas, darkly, "Now, both of as draw until were holding six cards in our hands!" Both duelists drew until they were holding six cards and Jordan says, sliding a card into the spell/trap slot, "Next, I activate Trap Booster! But I'll get to that in a bit! Remember, you have another date with 500 points of pain!"

Thomas once again cries in pain as he's shocked by the dark lightning and loses 500 life points.

Alexis thinks in her mind, horrified, 'What the hell's going on with my cousin!?'

Jordan discards one card from his hand, puts one card in the spell/trap slots, and calls out, "Now, with Trap Booster, I discard one card from my hand and activate one trap card from it! And I choose my Dark Veil!" Soon after, the hologram of Dark Veil appears on the field and Jordan's Cyber End Dragon becomes pitch black with glowing red eyes.

Alexis thinks in her mind, shocked, 'Jordan has that card in her deck too?!'

Jordan says, in a dark sarcastic tone, "Oh did I forget to mention that when my dragon attacks, while equipped with Dark Veil, all of your spell and trap are negated and destroyed! Plus you lose 300 points per card!"

Thomas takes a step back in shock, "No way!"

Alexis yells out, "That's it! I'm stopping the duel right!" Before she can move, a blast went past her right cheek, leaving a mark that had blood coming down. She and Chazz looked to see Jade, with her right index finger pointed at Alexis, and Chazz yells out, "Hey Jade, you almost tried to kill Alexis!"

Jade lowers her index finger and says, "That's a little message to the wench that if she tries anything to stop my boyfriend's duel, again!"

Chazz says, in disbelief, "What?" Chazz turns to Atticus and says, "Did you just hear what Jade said, Atticus!? She was going to kill your own sister!"

Atticus gives Chazz a Youko Kurama glare and says, "That creature over there isn't my baby sister! She's just another Society snake, who deserves what she gets and I think it was payback for giving me a shiner back in Domino! Jordan, finish this freak off!"

Jordan then calls out, in a dark serious tone, "You heard Atticus, Cyber End Dragon, finish this loser off! Super Strident Darkness Blaze!" Cyber End Dragon launches three beams of darkness energy at Thomas's monster and it slams into it with terrific force causing her face-down card to be destroyed and he screams out as the metal spiked poles shock him with dark electric energy from head to toe as he loses 4800 life-points, ending the duel immediately.

Final Score:

Thomas: 0

Jordan: 4000

Soon after, the final hologram fade from the field, the dueling platform returns to normal, Thomas and Jordan were released from the shackles, and Thomas fall to the ground on his back.

Chazz yells out, shocked, "This can't be! Jordan won in just one turn!"

Without a word, Alexis walked ahead towards Jordan, who was picking Thomas, two metals from his pocket. Just then, a shadow towered over Jordan and he felt a hard slap onto his cheek and Alexis yells out, "Jordan, how could you!? I know that you hate me, but why did you…" Just then, Alexis felt a blow to the stomach causing her to fall on her knees and cover her stomach in pain. She looks up to see Jade towering over here and Jade says, "The next time that you hit my Jordan like that…it will be your last!"

Another shadow comes over and Alexis felt a sudden jerk to her collar as she's lift up and punched in the face and hits the ground. Atticus brought his fist back and says, "Don't ever hit my cousin again…AND YOU WON'T LIVE LONG ENOUGH TO REGRET!!"

Chazz yells out, as he went between the fallen Alexis and his 'former' friends, "Leave her alone! How could you do this to your own sister?!"

Atticus grabs Chazz, by collar and lifts him up, and yells out, "The only reason why she's like this is because of you, Princeton and don't you dare say that this thing is my baby sister ever again…OR YOU WON'T LIVE LONG ENOUGH TO REGRET IT!" Before Chazz could speak, Atticus's fist crashed into his face and his body slammed onto the sand.

Jordan says, nastily, "I believe we should leave these 'people' for now."

Jade says, "Well put!" Syrus, Ryoko, Atticus, Jordan and Jade then head off from the beach and away from their former friends, while Alexis gets to her feet, slowly and wipes the blood from her mouth and looks back towards the retreating figures of her brother, cousin and 'former' friends, holding back the tears from her eyes.

Alexis thinks in her mind, shocked, 'What's gotten it them!? Atticus would never hit me or Jordan talk ill about me! Something is making them to this, but what!?'

Going to another area of the island, we find Sakura facing off against a female white student with one Cyber Harpie with Rose Whip equipped onto it (A: 2100/D: 1300), one Harpie Lady Sisters (A: 1950/D: 2100), and one Harpie's Pet Dragon (A: 2300/D: 2500) on the field in attack mode with 2500 life-points left while Sakura has only 500 life-points left with two face-down cards and one Amazoness Fighter (A: 1500/D: 1300) in attack mode.

The female white student says, "Your pathetic Amazons can't beat my Harpies or destiny!"

Sakura tells her opponent, "We'll see about that, dork! Bring it on!"

The female white student shouts out, "Pet Dragon, attack!" Harpie's Pet Dragon then moves in to destroy Sakura's Amazoness Fighter.

Sakura presses a button on her disc and shouts out, "Go! Amazoness Magician! Thanks to this card, I can swap your Pet Dragon's attack points for my Amazon's attack points!"

The female white student shouts out, worriedly, "Oh no!" Pet Dragon's stats are reduced to 1500/2500 while Sakura's Amazoness Fighter's stats go up to 2300/1300.

Sakura shouts out, seriously, "Amazoness Fighter, bash overgrown lizard to the ground!" Amazoness Fighter counterattacks, destroying Pet Dragon, and taking 800 life-points from the female white student's score. The female white student calls out, "This duel is far from done! You can't escape destiny!"

Sakura tells the white student, with a sly grin, "Wrong, geek! This duel is already over! I reveal my trap!" Sakura presses another button on her disc and says, "It's called Amazoness Roar! When one of my Amazoness Monsters are attacked, I can attack all of your monsters with any Amazoness monster on my side of the field and my attacking monster gains the equivalent of its original defense points added to her current attack points for this turn!"

The female white student shouts out, worriedly, "No, this can't be!" Amazoness Fighter's stats increase from 2300/1300 to 3600/1300!

Sakura calls out, "Amazoness Fighter, end this duel!" Amazoness Fighter charges in, destroys both Cyber Harpie and Harpie Lady Sisters, taking 3150 life-points from the white student's score, and ending this duel immediately.

Final Score:

Sakura: 500

White Student: 0

When the final holograms fade away, the female white student collapses to the ground on her back and Sakura takes a deep breath at the end of this duel. Sakura says to herself, "Just another day of putting Society Geeks in their places." Sakura then goes over to the female white student, takes the GX medal from her pocket, and says, with a smile, "And I'm having fun doing it too." Sakura puts the unconscious female white student over her shoulder and says, "Well, better get her to the nurse's office where she will be safe. Then I check on how the others are doing."

Within another area of the island, we find none other than Naruto dueling against a Ra Yellow student with Hinata watching from the side lines. Naruto has only 100 life-points remaining and one Masked Dragon (A: 1100/D: 1400) in defense mode. His opponent has 1500 life-points remaining with one-face down card and three monsters, Luster Dragon #2 (A: 2400/D: 1500), Element Dragon (A: 1500/D: 1200), and Meteor Dragon (A: 1800/D: 2000), all of whom are in attack mode.

The Ra yellow student shout confidently, "This is why you should play with the big guys, Slifer Slacker! Element Dragon, destroy his Masked Dragon now!" Element Dragon moves in to destroy Naruto's Masked Dragon.

Naruto presses a button on his disc and calls out, "Reveal Draining Shield! Thanks to this card, I gain life-points based on your monster's attack points."

The Ra Yellow student presses a button on his disc and roars out, "Not this time! I activate my trap! Trap Jammer! Thanks to this, your trap is cancelled."

Naruto shouts out, worriedly, "Oh no!" The Ra Yellow student's Trap Jammer negates Naruto's Draining Shield trap card.

Hinata thinks, worriedly, 'Oh no, Naruto will lose!'

The Ra Yellow student shouts out, "I win!" But then a trio of maidens appears in front of Rini's monster and negates Element Dragon's attack. The Ra Yellow student calls out, "What happened?!"

Naruto tells the Ra Yellow, "I play my Waboku card, which was my real trap! I thought that you had that can of card ready for me. So, I used my Draining Shield as bait to get you to use your trap. Now, all battle damage during this turn is reduced to zero."

The Ra Yellow student calls out, angrily, "I end my turn!"

Hinata tells Naruto, excitedly, "That was great, Naruto!" Naruto blushes and smiles back at his friend and turns back to the duel.

Naruto draws one card from his deck, puts one card into the spell/trap slot and calls out, "I activate Cost Down!" Naruto discards a card from his hand and says, "Thanks to this, I can downgrade a monster's stars by 2 stars! Now, I sacrifice my dragon to summon my Tyrant Dragon!" Masked Dragon vanishes as it is sent to the graveyard and Tyrant Dragon (A: 2900/D: 2500) appears on the field in attack mode. Naruto says, with a sly smirk, "Thanks to this bad boy, I get to attack all of you monsters!"

The Ra Yellow duelist shouts out, shocked, "Oh no!"

Naruto calls out, "Tyrant Dragon, attack his dragons!" Tyrant Dragon breaths fire from his mouth to the Ra Yellow's students monsters and burns every one of them, causing him to scream out as he loses 3000 life-points, ending the duel immediately.

Final Score:

Naruto: 100

Ra Yellow student: 0

After the holograms fade away, Hinata exclaims, excitedly, running to Naruto and throwing her arms around his neck, hugging him, "Naruto, you did it!"

Naruto blushes red as he wraps his arms around the girl's body and exclaims, happily, "I sure did!"

The Ra Yellow student falls to his knees and says, "Ah, man! Beaten by a Slifer!"

Chancellor Sheppard, returning to his duties as chancellor of Duel Academy, looks through the papers on his desk when he hears the automatic doors open. He looks to see Sartorius entering his room and coming towards his desk.

Sartorius tells Chancellor Sheppard, "Good day, Chancellor Sheppard."

Chancellor Sheppard tells Sartorius, "Ah, Sartorius! So, we meet face to face at last."

Sartorius tells Chancellor Sheppard, "I've been most impressed with your students, chancellor." Chancellor Sheppard gives a look of misgiving and Sartorius tells Chancellor Sheppard, in his usual tone, "Is that a look of mistrust. Don't worry, you have nothing to fear from me."

Chancellor Sheppard retorts, sarcastically, "I've saved the world from evil Shadow Riders. Why do I need to be afraid of a scrawny little man like you?" Sartorius gives an angered look from Chancellor Sheppard's comment and Chancellor Sheppard then says, "However, it doesn't mean that I won't keep an eye on you, but since you look harmless, I can't deny your request for that duelist that you asked for. He is on his way." Sartorius's eyes light up immediately.

Inside of a large helicopter, we find a young man sitting down in a chair in front of a table with a briefcase inside. This young man has reddish-violet hair and deep green eyes as well as wearing a small band with an emerald across his forehead and wearing a light grey formal suit. He is looking at three people in front of him, two of them men with black and white bodyguard uniforms on them and one is a woman with brown hair and deep brown eyes with red lipstick on her lips wearing a pink formal dress shirt and skirt as well as pink high-heeled formal shoes.

The young woman says, "We are nearing Duel Academy, my prince."

The young man says, annoyed, "I know that, but are those Destiny cards there?"

The young woman replies, "Based on our research, they are in the possession of someone on the island."

The young man pins a GX medal to shirt portion of his suit and says, with a sly grin, "Well, this someone had better watch out."

Inside of Duel Academy's harbor, we find the Slifer Red hero, Jaden Yuki, sitting on the edge of the harbor and using a simple fishing pole to fish, with a solemn look on his expression. Not one duelist has come to challenge him to a duel and you know how Jaden Yuki is when he doesn't have a challenge. Plus, he has been in the harbor because he is watching for the profession duelists that Chancellor Sheppard said would be in the GX tournament, but so far, Jaden hasn't seen any boats or anything that would have professional duelists on board coming towards the island.

Jaden says, solemnly, "Oh, man! Where are those profession duelists that Sheppard promise? Should they be here by now? This is so not sweet."

Just then Jaden hears a familiar male voice calls out from behind exclaiming, "Jaden!" When Jaden turns to the source of the voice, he sees Syrus, Ryoko, Jordan, Jade and Hassleberry running towards him.

When Syrus and Tyranno come over to Jaden, Syrus says, excitedly, "Jaden, I did it!"

Tyranno shouts out, in a similar excited tone, "Same here, Sarge! We won!"

Ryoko says, with a smile, "Same here!"

Jordan says, "I've done good!"

Jade says, "Me too!"

Jaden says, with a smile, "Good job! I knew that you can do it!"

Syrus, Ryoko, Jordan, Jade and Hassleberry display their GX medals that they won in their duels and Syrus says, with a smile, "Now, I'll start a little metal collection."

Hassleberry says, with a smile, "Nothing like the spoils of battle!"

Just then another set of voices call out, "Jaden!" Just then they see Naruto, Kagome, Sakura and Hinata run up to the group and each of the two GX medals each.

Jaden says, with a smile, "I see that you have been busy!"

Sakura yells out, with a sly grin on her lips, "Yeah, we've kicked some tournament and dork butt! We knocked off one Society Dweeb each!"

Just then a familiar male voice calls out, "You aren't the only ones!" Everyone looks to the source of the voice to see Yusuke, Sasuke, and Kino coming over to them.

Jaden yells out, with his classic smile on his lips, "Hey, guys! What's up?!"

Yusuke tells Jaden, with his classic grin, "What do you think, Jay?!" Yusuke, Sasuke and Kino hold up eleven medals each.

Syrus calls out, stunned, "You guys have already eleven metals!"

Ryoko calls out, stunned, "Where in the world did you guys get them from?"

Yusuke smirks and says, "Some of the members of the Society of Light!"

Sasuke says, with a sly smirk, "We found those losers in the courtyard and begging to be attacked."

Jaden shouts out, with a smile, "Awesome! You really are doing great!"

Kino tells Jaden, "Indeed, Lord Jaden. We've defeated a number of the Society Dorks, knocked them out of the tournament, and returned them back to normal."

Just then a familiar female voice calls out, "Hey, guys!" Everyone looks to the source of the voice to see Hikari and Keiko walking up towards all of them.

Yusuke greets his sister and girlfriend, "Hey girls! How have you two been doing!"

Keiko says, with a sly smile and she and Hikari shows twelve metals each in their hands, "Why don't you tell me!?" Everyone gasps in shock and surprise.

Jade yells out, flabbergasted, "No way! No way!"

Syrus calls out, stunned, "You already have twelve medals?!"

Hikari tells Syrus, with her kind smile, "It was nothing, Sy! Just some third-rate Society Geeks that thought they were all that and Keiko and I taught them a lesson that they never forgot."

Jaden says, with a plain tone, "Ouch."

Kino asks Hikari, curiously, "Where is my sister and Lord Bastion?"

Hikari tells Kino, with a kind smile, "I just spoke with them around a minute ago. They decided to find more Society Goons and both of them have already won more four medals each."

Keiko says, "Mina won already twelve metals, while Bastion won only eleven of them."

Hassleberry calls out, stunned, "Sam hill! Those two are doing all right for themselves."

Jaden tells his friend, with a nervous smile and tone, "That's great. You have medals……Me, too……" Jaden becomes solemn and says, in a solemn tone, "…Who am I kidding? I haven't had one good duel all day. I've been waiting for all of these professions that Chancellor Sheppard promised, but they aren't here."

Kagome says, "Well…those pros aren't going to be here anytime soon, Jaden." Just then everyone hears a loud noise with some wind picking up and they look to the source to see a helicopter landing on the helicopter landing pad on top of the warehouse in the harbor.

Syrus exclaims, amazed, "It's a helicopter."

Jaden shouts out, excitedly, "Let's check it out!" Jaden runs off to get to the helicopter pad with his friends running after him. When they get to the helicopter pad on the roof of the warehouse, they start walking towards it.

Hassleberry says, "Someone knows how to come in style."

Syrus and Ryoko gasps, points to the royal crest on the helicopter's tail, and exclaims in unison, "Look! It is the crest of the Misgarth Kingdom!"

Everyone looks at Syrus and Jaden asks, "Who?"

Syrus asks, perplexed, "Don't you guys watch television?"

Kagome says, plainly, "The Misgarth Kingdom is a small country that recently launched a satellite into space, but the United Nations is current investigate the launch of the satellite."

Yusuke asks Kagome, "Why is that, Kagome?"

Keiko tells Yusuke, "That's because no one knows what the satellite does, Yusuke. And the nations of the world are wearily of a potential threat from space, but the Misgarth Kingdom and its ruler, Prince Ojin, won't give any information on the satellite and the nations of the world have been put on high-alert because of this."

Hikari says, "Oh, I remember him! I talked it over with Chancellor Sheppard! Anyway, Prince Ojin is supposed an expert duelist and Chancellor Sheppard invited him."

Jaden exclaims, excitedly, "Really?"

Hikari nods his head and says, her expression becoming a dark serious tone, "Yeah, but there isn't a good reason why he was invited."

Jaden calls out, excitedly, "I don't care! I've got to duel him!" Jaden then runs over towards the helicopter while the other try to call out to him, but just then notice footsteps coming from behind them and our heroes and heroines turn towards the source of the footsteps to gasp at who they see.

On the meanwhile, Jaden goes over to the helicopter as three black-suit guards with black sunglass over their eyes come out of the helicopter with dark violet haired man with narrowed dark green eyes and wearing a light grey formal suit and pants with brown shoes as well as blue jewel attached to his forehead by a wire and a youthful looking brown haired woman wearing a bright pink female business suit with a pink skirt, partial see-through brown stockings covering all of her legs, and black high-heeled shoes with a black suitcase attached by handcuffs to her right wrist. The three guards surround the violet haired man and brown haired woman. As the group exits the helicopter, they see Jaden Yuki running up towards them. Jaden says, in a kind and exciting tone, "Greetings, your majesty! And welcome to Duel Academy!"

The dark violet haired man asks, curiously, "Who are you?"

Jaden then tries to say, in his excited tone, "I'm Jaden Yuki and……" But then he is frozen as someone's right hand touches his shoulder and when we get a better view, we find it was no other than Sartorius that someone frozen our Slifer Red hero. Rejoining the rest of our heroes and heroines, we find them in defensive posters against their 'former' white-clad friends Chazz Princeton and Alexis Rhodes.

Yusuke calls out, horrified, "Jaden!" Yusuke, Kino and Hikari immediately run over towards Jaden as he is able to move again and he winches from stiffness as Sartorius takes his right hand off of Jaden's left shoulder.

Sartorius steps forward and says, "Forgive me, my prince. I know that you didn't come here all the way to deal with children." But just then Sartorius gasps in shock as he is frozen in place as someone's right hand touches his arm and his followers gasp in shock.

Alexis calls out, stunned, "Master Sartorius, what's wrong?!" Just then Jaden and Hikari walks past Sartorius's left side unnoticed by the group that came out of the helicopter.

Jaden whispers to Sartorius, in a dark nasty tone, "What's the matter, freak? Cat got your tongue?" Jaden takes his right hand off of Sartorius's left arm and Sartorius winches from stiffness as he is released from Jaden's mental bind causing Sartorius to growl at Jaden in annoyance, while Jaden gives off a teasing smirk and sneers, "Isn't payback a bitch."

Hikari goes over to Prince Ojin, goes on one knee in front of the dark violet haired man and his group, and Hikari says, in a considerate tone, "I'm so sorry, your majesty. You must forgive this student. He has a tendency to step over his 'boundaries'. I will see that he is reprimanded for his actions."

Chazz yells at Hikari, in a cold annoyed tone, "Hey, you can't do that!"

Kino roars out, in a dark nasty tone, "That's what you think, dork!"

Hikari asks the dark violet haired man, "Prince Ojin, I assume?"

The dark violet haired man nods his head and says, "Yes. And who are you?"

Hikari, still on one knee, bows her head and replies, in a kind tone, "Forgive me. My name is Hikari Urameshi, I am one of the top students here in Duel Academy and the current Vice-Chancellor of this fine place."

Prince Ojin and his group gasp in shock and the female member of Prince Ojin's group says, surprised, "But you must only be sixteen years old!"

Hikari tells Prince Ojin and his group, in a calm tone while rising to her feet, "Yes, I am. But Chancellor Sheppard, the head of Duel Academy, has seen that my abilities of leader make up for my age. If you talk to him, he can tell you that I've done some great work as a leader, through I've been only Vice-Chancellor for a short time. I know that it is strange for a teenage girl to be the second-in-command, but the strange circumstances have forced this change in the leadership of Duel Academy." Hikari bows in front of Prince Ojin and his group and says, with a kind smile and formal tone, "Anyway, I would to thank you for accepting our invitation to Duel Academy, on belief of Chancellor Sheppard, and I hope that your time here will be meaningful."

Prince Ojin says, with a plain and interested tone, "Well, I guess that this academy is worth a lot if it produces students like this that can take leadership and do formalities as well as her." Hikari, Yusuke, Kino and Jaden gives sly grins to Sartorius, who gives them an evil sly grin in reply. Prince Ojin tells Hikari, "However, I am not here for pleasantries."

Hikari tells Prince Ojin, "Of course."

Prince Ojin asks Hikari, in a calm and serious tone, "Ms. Urameshi, I demand to know who holds the Destiny Hero cards! Who has them?!"

Jaden's eyes widen in shock and he thinks, 'Huh?! Why is he after Aster's Destiny Hero cards?!'

Sartorius tells Prince Ojin, in a calm tone, "I can assure you that I have them in my possession, my prince."

Everyone looks at Sartorius and Hikari brawls out, in a dark serious tone, "Did I give you permission to speak, 'student'?!"

Alexis yells at Hikari, in a cold serious tone, "Master Sartorius doesn't need your permission to speak, Hikari!"

Hikari retorts, in a dark serious tone, "He does while I'm Vice-Chancellor of this school! Now, wench, you better keep quiet or I will have you suspended from this tournament or better yet this school!"

Alexis calls out, in a cold serious tone, "You can't!"

Jaden retorts, with a dark sly tone and dark sly grin on his lips, "Watch her, you dorky bitch! Just try opening that mouth of yours, again, wench!"

Prince Ojin tells Sartorius, in a plain tone, "Then I challenge you to a duel right here and now."

Our heroes and heroines gasp in shock and Hikari asks Prince Ojin, "Your majesty, forgive me for speaking out, but are you being a bit rash? Do you not want to see some other students in this school?"

Sartorius tells Serena, in a calm tone and evil sly grin on his lips, "I'm sorry, Ms. Urameshi. The rules state that you must duel once per day and you must accept the first challenge given to you. Since the prince has challenged me, I must duel him and not even you can interfere, am I not correct?" Hikari, Yusuke, Kino and Jaden's cheeks flush up with anger, the voice in Jaden's head boomed, "That worthless son of a bitch! He's gonna pay dearly!" Jaden's left first turns into a fist that he clenches so hard that his fingernails cut into her skin causing a bit of his blood to drip out of cuts in his hand. Hikari lowers her head in defeat as she gently does a curtsy in front of Prince Ojin and walks away back to her brother and her friends, with her brother, Kino and Jaden.

Keiko tells Hikari, with a serious tone, "Don't worry, Kari. We will get that freak next time."

Hikari nods her head and whispers to Keiko, "Yeah, I know. But he really knows how to piss me off!"

Sartorius then asks Prince Ojin, with a calm tone and evil sly grin on his lips, "Now, with that 'distraction' out of the way, my prince, shall we begin?" Prince Ojin nods his head in agreement with Sartorius.

In front of the harbor warehouse; a short time later…

Yusuke, Jaden, Keiko, Hikari, Jordan, Jade, Syrus, Ryoko, Kino and Hassleberry watch from the sides as Sartorius, with Alexis and Chazz some distance behind him, faces Prince Ojin as they prepared their dueling decks and activated their duel disks. On the meanwhile, Prince Ojin's female assistant holds the briefcase seen earlier in her hands with a handcuff attaching her right wrist to the briefcase and is guarded by the two men in black suits. Just then Bastion and Mina walk up towards all of them.

Jaden exclaims, excitedly, "Hey, Bastion, what's up?!"

Bastion and Mina displays twelve GX medals and Mina says, with a smile, "Oh, nothing really. Just defeated a few students to get possession of these."

Syrus exclaims, excitedly, "Awesome! All of you won at least one duel!"

Mina says, with her usual smile, "It wasn't that hard, Lord Syrus. Lord Bastion had a good time in his first duel ever."

Bastion says, with his usual grin, "I've got to say that it is a good way to revive stress and it is fun."

Chazz then yells out, "So, how cares if your dorky friends won some medals from losers?!"

Alexis says, in a cold tone, "Yeah, our master is dealing a pro."

Bastion and Mina gave both white clad members a Youko Kurama glares, scaring them, and Bastion brawls out, darkly, "I'm sorry! You assumed that I was talking to you two, backstabbers!"

Mina brawls out, "That's right, why should we care about some dork of the leader dueling some pro!"

Alexis yells out, "What was that, Mina!? Don't you dare talk ill about Master Sartorius or you will regret it!"

Mina cracks her knuckles, smirks and says, "Looks like the little bimbo needs her backbone to be broken!"

Alexis gets ready to fight and says, "Bring it!"

Jaden says, in a dark tone, "Mina, let's not play with those dogs, okay. There are a couple of fragile losers anyways."

Bastion says, "Besides myself, the Urameshi and Tucker twins, Keiko and Sasuke have won all of our metals from half of the members of the Society of Light!"

Chazz yells out, "What!"

Alexis yells out, "No way! You lie!"

Kino says, darkly, "You have me, my sister, the Urameshi twins, Lady Keiko, Lord Bastion and Lord Sasuke to thank for that."

Bastion says, "Check your white dorm, fools, and prove us wrong!"

Chazz says, in a cold tone, "Don't worry we will!"

Prince Ojin exclaims, "I'm not here to win some trinkets! How about we play for your Destiny Heroes?!"

Sartorius tells Prince Ojin, "As you wish. And what you will be wagering? How about that satellite that I've heard all about?"

Mina asks, in a serious, yet, perplexed tone, "Who is that? And why does he believe that Sartorius has the Destiny Heroes?"

Bastion tells Mina, "His name is Prince Ojin, the ruler of the Misgarth Kingdom, which is a small kingdom. They were recently on the news when they launched a new satellite into space, but the thing is…no one knows what that satellite does. And the United Nations is looking into this satellite."

Jaden then says, "And for some reason, he is looking for Aster's Destiny Heroes, but he doesn't know about Aster. Sartorius used him to trick him into a duel for that satellite."

Mina says, in a plain tone, "If Sartorius wants that satellite, that must mean it isn't good or for good purposes."

Hassleberry nods his head and says, "Ten-four on that, ma'am."

As the duel begins and both duelists draw five cards from their decks, Sartorius tells Prince Ojin, "I can see the future and I know that this duel will end before the start of my turn."

Prince Ojin smiles slyly and says, "I know."

Prince Ojin and Sartorius then call out, "Duel!"

Starting Scores:

Prince Ojin: 4000

Sartorius: 4000

Prince Ojin draws one card from his deck and says, "I'll go first." Prince Ojin looks at his hand, puts one card in the spell/trap slots, and calls out, "Now, I play my Pot of Greed! That's two more cards for me!"

As Prince Ojin draws two more cards from his deck, Sartorius says, with a sly smile on his lips, "Well done."

Prince Ojin looks at the two new cards that he drew along with the other five cards in his hand, puts another card in the spell/trap slots, and shouts out, "Now, I play my Cost Down! Here's how it works! I discard one card from my hand to lower a monster in my hand by two stars!" Prince Ojin discards one card to the graveyard, puts another card on his duel disk, and shouts out, "And I choose my Satellite Cannon!" Deep in outer space, Satellite Cannon (A: 0/D: 0) appears on the field in attack mode. Prince Ojin then declares, proudly, "This gives me ultimate power like my real satellite! And when I unleash this power on the world, I will be the most powerful monarch in existence: Because I possess the latest in mind-control technology!" Yusuke, Jaden, Bastion, Keiko, Hikari, Jordan, Jade, Syrus, Ryoko, Mina, Kino and Hassleberry along with Chazz and Alexis gasp in shock.

Bastion shouts out, shocked, "Great Scott! That satellite is a brainwashing probe!"

Mina says, in a plain tone, "I knew that satellite was no good!"

Sartorius bows in mock praise and says, "Very interesting, my prince. A brainwashing probe. I shall make use of it when it is mine."

Hikari says, in a dark nasty tone, "I'll bet, asshole."

Keiko exclaims, seriously, "If Sartorius gets his hand on that satellite, we will be in big trouble now!"

Prince Ojin puts one card in the spell/trap slots and says, with a sly grin, "However, it is like you said, I will win. Now, I play Charge! This spell card gives my Satellite Cannon two thousand attack points!" Satellite Cannon's stats then go up from 0/0 to 2000/0!

Jaden says, with his usual smile and tone, "Wow! That's awesome! The prince is going to win!"

Syrus states, curiously, "Yeah, but can he win before Sartorius's first turn."

Bastion shakes his head and replies, "Unfortunately not. That's highly unlikely because his turn is going to end since he can't attack this turn."

Prince Ojin puts another card in the spell/trap slots and says, "Not necessary. Now, I play my Mischief of the Time Goddess!"

Syrus then exclaims, shocked, "But Bastion said…!"

Bastion interrupts and states, "Syrus, I said 'unlikely' not 'impossible'."

Jaden states, in an amazed tone, "That's right! Sartorius's turn was skipped!"

Alexis and Chazz gasp in shock and Chazz exclaims, "You have got to be kidding me!"

Prince Ojin puts another card in the spell/trap slots and yells out, "Now, I can attack again! But first, I play my Limiter Removal! This card doubles my Cannon's attack points!" Satellite Cannon's stats then rise again from 2000/0 to 4000/0 as it glows with power!

Jaden exclaims, amazed, "Sartorius can be wiped out with one blast!"

Bastion says, also amazed, "This is incredible! He'll win in his first turn! This has never happened in Duel Monsters before!"

Chazz says, worriedly, "Master Sartorius can't lose."

Alexis says, in a similar tone, "That's right. He promised him cards that he didn't have."

Prince Ojin shouts out, "Now, Satellite Cannon, attack!" Satellite Cannon fires a laser beam from outer space at Sartorius and it slams into him with terrific force, creating strong winds that force our heroes along with Alexis and Chazz to cover their eyes and stand their ground. When the explosion died down, Sartorius is covered in smoke and Prince Ojin closes his eyes, giving a wide smile, thinking he has won, and says, plainly, "I'll take those Destiny cards now." Just then Sartorius' laughter can be heard, Prince Ojin opens his eyes, and when the smoke and dust clear, everyone sees that Sartorius didn't lose one single point from his score. Plus, there is a holographic display of Arcana Force XIV, The Temperance (A: 2400/D: 2400) monster card in front of Sartorius. Prince Ojin exclaims, shocked, "You survived! You must be cheating me!"

Sartorius replies, with his sly grin still across his lips, "Certainly not. I just discarded a card from my hand. Arcana Force XIV to be more exact and with its special ability, my battle damage is reduced to zero. I told you that this duel would end before my turn."

Prince Ojin says, a bit annoyed, "I know."

Sartorius tells Prince Ojin, "But I didn't say who would be the winner. Now, the turn is still yours, but I took enough of your time, so, let me end this duel."

Prince Ojin becomes really annoyed and says, sarcastically, "You speak out of turn, 'Master' Sartorius. It is still my move." Prince Ojin puts his last card on his duel disk and shouts out, "Now, I play my Satellite Base in defense mode!" Appearing behind him, Satellite Base (A: 0/D: 0) comes to the field in defense mode. Prince Ojin then says, "Not only does this get one thousand defense points every turn, but it can't be destroyed by anything less than a six star monster! So, you will never get to my life-points now! Oh, by the way, your predication is wrong."

Sartorius discards one card from his hand and says, "You would be wrong, my prince. For when you play a monster, I can send this card to my graveyard. It is known as Intervention of Fate. And when it is sent to the graveyard, I can play a spell card from my hand. Now, remember, this is still technically your turn." Sartorius puts one card in the spell/trap slots and states, "I play Ace of Sword!" A holographic image of the spell card appears above Sartorius' head and begins to spin around and Sartorius says, "This card will decided your destiny. Just choose where it should stop."

After a while, Prince Ojin exclaims, "Stop that card!"

The Ace of Sword cards stops in the upright position and Sartorius tells Prince Ojin, "The blade is pointing downward, my prince. I'm afraid that you lose life-points to the attack points of a monster that I choose." Prince Ojin gasps in shock and Sartorius says, with a sly grin, "I choose that Satellite Cannon you love so much…The one with 4000 points!" In space, Satellite Cannon points towards Prince Ojin and fires straight at him. Prince Ojin gasps as the attack heads for him and then slams into him with terrific force. When the blast settles down, Prince Ojin falls to his knees as his life-point counter goes to zero, ending the duel immediately.

Final Score:

Prince Ojin: 0

Sartorius: 4000

After the final holograms fade away, Syrus says, shocked, "Whoa. He won in one turn."

Bastion shakes his head and says, "No, Syrus. Technically, Sartorius never had a turn, so, he won in 'zero turns'."

Mina says, amazed, "A 'Zero Turn Kill'."

Sartorius tells Prince Ojin, who has risen to his feet, "My satellite, if you please."

Prince Ojin goes over to his female assistance and says to Sartorius, "As you wish." Prince Ojin tries to unlock the handcuff that connects the briefcase, but the female assistant resists.

The female assistant says, in a begging tone, "My prince, this isn't a good idea! You shouldn't do this!" However, Prince Ojin wrestles the briefcase away from her and unlocks the handcuffs holding her right wrist with the cuff that held the briefcase. The female assistance exclaims, shocked, "My prince!"

Prince Ojin yells at her, annoyed, "He beat me fair and square! I am a man of my word!" Prince Ojin gives the briefcase to Sartorius and tells him, with a sly smile, "Here it is: The satellite controls…with my complements."

Sartorius takes the briefcase, bows, and replies, "Thank you, my prince." Soon after, Sartorius turns to leave, the SOL members allows him to pass through, and all of them then head off back to the White Dorm with everyone of our heroes and heroines staring at them with dark annoyed and angered stares, expect for Syrus and Ryoko, who have dark worried stares on their expression.

Kino says, darkly, "Wonderful. What a bother. Now, he has the power to turn the whole world into his little puppets."

Jaden tells Kino, in a dark serious tone, "No joke, Kino. We need to work fast and get those controls from him!"

Bastion tells the group, in a plain and logical tone, "Don't be so hasty, Jaden. He might have the satellite that can infect everyone on the planet, but he still needs something or should I say, someone else to complete his plans."

Everyone looks at Bastion, puzzled, and Bastion says, in a plain tone, "The three chosen duelists. Aster, Yusuke and Jaden."

Yusuke asks, perplexed, "I don't get it. He has the satellite. Why does he need us still?"

Bastion tells Yusuke, in a plain tone, "Because he doesn't want just Earth. He wants the whole universe and you and the others have the special powers that he needs to complete his plans for Earth and the universe."

Yusuke yells out, in a dark serious tone, "Well, as long as I still breathe, that asshole won't be completing any of his plans!"

Keiko tells Yusuke, with a dark determined tone in her expression, "I'm with you, Yusuke! He won't brainwash anyone else like he did with Chazz and Alexis!"

Mina says, in a dark plain tone, "Still we need a plan to stop him and fast."

Jaden nods his head and replies, in a dark serious tone, "I agree, Mina." On the meanwhile, the female assistant to Prince Ojin takes notice of the group and notices their reactions towards Sartorius and wonders about them. On the meanwhile, we turn back to Sartorius, carrying the briefcase with the satellite controls, with the SOL members with him.

Chazz exclaims, excitedly, "That was one awesome, Master Sartorius!"

Alexis tells Chazz, with a cold smile on her lips, "What did you expect, Chazz? He has the power of destiny on his side!"

Sartorius tells his SOL followers, "Thank you for the praise, my friends and fellow followers of destiny, but we still have much work to do."

Alexis asks Sartorius, "What do you mean? With that satellite, you can help the whole world see the light and bring peace and justice back to our world."

Sartorius shakes his head and says, "Not yet. We still need the allegiance and the power of the three chosen ones in order for our plans to be complete, my dear."

Chazz tells Sartorius, in a cold plain tone, "I'll get to work right away, Master Sartorius."

Sartorius tells Chazz, "Thank you, Mr. Princeton. I knew that I could count on you."

Chazz tells Sartorius, with a cold smile, "Thank you, sir!"

Alexis gasped in horror and stopped, which got the attention of Sartorius and Chazz, and Chazz asks, "Is something wrong, Alexis?"

Alexis points in front of her, which Sartorius and Chazz turns to Alexis's gaze and they were shocked in horror. They were looking at the White Dorm and bodies of their comrades were lying on the floor.

Sartorius asks, in shock, "What in the world has happened, here!?"

Chazz murmured, "They didn't…" Chazz and Alexis dashed ahead and looked around to see most bodies with burnt marks on their bodies and uniforms.

Just then, two female SOL members ran to them, "Mr. Princeton, Ms. Rhodes, Master Sartorius!"

Chazz yells out, "What the hell happened here!?"

One of the female SOL members says, "It was terrible!"

Another SOL member says, "The Urameshi and Tucker twins, Keiko Yukimura, Bastion Misawa and Sasuke Uchiha attacked half of our members!"

Sartorius and his loyal members gasped in shock and Alexis yells out, in a cold angered tone, "Damn it! They weren't bluffing!"

The first SOL member says, "That's not all! They were using some crazy magic called the 'Shadow Game' to duel us!"

Chazz and Alexis gasped in shock and yells in unison, "A Shadow Game!?"

The second SOL member says, "That's right! Many of us got away from their wraths and showed no mercy on our fellow followers of destiny!"

Alexis says, in a whisper, "The same thing that happened during Syrus and Jordan's duels with our members."

Sartorius asks, curiously and in a rare surprised tone, "Syrus Truesdale and your cousin dueled with our members in a Shadow Game?"

Chazz tells Sartorius, "Not only that, sir. But both Syrus and Jordan had unusual cards that gave their decks an aura of darkness and they, Atticus, Ryoko and Jade were taking pleasure in torturing Missy and Thomas."

Sartorius says, in a serious tone, "This is a serious problem." Sartorius then commands, "Inform the rest of the dorm to stay away from Syrus and Jade Truesdale, Atticus and Jordan Rhodes, the Urameshi and Tucker twins, Keiko Yukimura, Bastion Misawa, Sasuke Uchiha and Ryoko Lyon at all costs until they see the light!"

All of the SOL members reply in unison, "Yes, sir!"

Sartorius turns around and says, in a serious tone, "I will be in my quarters. If anything important comes up, come to me immediately." All of the SOL members bow in respect to Sartorius as he leaves the medical wing. On the meanwhile Alexis had totally distraught face about her brother and cousin and what happened during the whole duel.

Chazz tells Alexis, "Alexis, I know that you are totally horrified by this, but Master Sartorius will get to the bottom of this. When he does, Atticus and Jordan will see the light and be at your side, again."

Alexis replies, in a solemn tone, "I hope so. But that's not the only thing I'm worried about. Call me crazy, but something is fucking up Jaden's mind."

Chazz asks, curiously, "What do you mean?"

Alexis asks Chazz, "Do you ever notice that, when Yusuke, Jaden, my brother and cousin look at us, their eyes……I can't describe it. It was like they were filled with hatred, malice and anger towards us. I can understand the Urameshi and Tucker twins, as well as the other nonbelievers, but Jaden! Jaden never insulted or hated anyone. Not even the enemies and the bullies from Obelisk Blue and Ra Yellow had terrorized him and the Slifers Red students, or even you, after the stunts you pulled when you were an Obelisk Blue last year."

Chazz tells Alexis, "Maybe, Demon Jaden is influencing him to do those things, insult us and almost tried to kill me, when he was choking me. Usually, I'd easily slip from Jaden's grip, but something was juicing up his strength. I could still feel his grip on my throat and his kick to my side."

Alexis says, plainly, "Maybe, if we get more info on Jaden's new attitude towards us and as well as how Syrus and Jordan got the abilities to make a Shadow Game, then we'll find our answer and hopefully beat them and they'll return to their oldselves and bring them to the light."

Chazz tells Alexis, "And if Jaden finds out what we're doing, he'll kill us with his new attitude and strength! We were even lucky that we survived!"

Alexis tells Chazz, coldly, "Jaden might be a bit odd, but murder wouldn't be his specialty! He'll probably threaten us, but with his human side in tact, he wouldn't actually kill us."

Chazz says, in a droll voice, "No, just hurt us real badly again! Do you remember what happened in Domino? If we try kidnapping the twerp and Dino Dork, again, then their demonic sides will actually hurt us in the end!"

Alexis says, "Yeah, but at least we'll keep our lives…" Alexis thinks in her mind, solemnly, 'I hope that I'm right about this. Jaden wouldn't resort to murder, but his demonic side I'm not so sure. All that hope is Jaden saying the light and we can finally be together.'
