Author's Note: I'd like to thank Gallantmon of the Hazard for these elements. I'll like to make an announcement! There's a really good story I made called 'All's Fair in Love and War!' Here's the deal, if I don't see at least, five reviews for that story by next week, I'll stop updating this story, because it angers me, when all the time that I wasted making that story and it's not getting the amount of reviews that it should be getting.

Chapter 31: Pro-duelists and Shadow Games

A few days after the start of the tournament, we find Hikari Urameshi inside of Chancellor Sheppard's office as he goes over the tournament states showing that her brother and all of their friends along the remaining members of the Society of Light, including Chazz and Alexis. However, Chancellor Sheppard is giving off a worried expression on his face.

Chancellor Sheppard tells Hikari, "Well, you and your friends are doing well along with the top members of the Society of Light."

Hikari says, in a dark droll tone, "Why I am not surprised?"

Chancellor Sheppard tells Hikari, in a concerned tone, "However, only you, Yusuke, all of your friends, and the top Society of Light members are doing well against Pro duelists so far. The rest of the students have been less than successful."

Hikari asks Chancellor Sheppard, curiously, "Why is that a problem?"

Chancellor Sheppard tells Hikari, "My dear Ms. Urameshi, the school's very reputation is at stake!"

Hikari replies, plainly and with a nervous sweatdrop, "Oh."

Chancellor Sheppard tells Hikari, "If we don't do something fast, this school and its reputation will be ruined!"

Hikari tells Chancellor Sheppard, nodding her head in understanding, "I'll see what I can do, Chancellor Sheppard. My friends and I might be able to find some top duelists among the rest of our students that can help the school."

Chancellor Sheppard nods his head and tells Hikari, "Thank you, Ms. Urameshi."

Hikari tells Chancellor Sheppard, bowing her head, "I'll try my best." Hikari then heads out of Chancellor Sheppard's room and when she is gone, Chancellor Sheppard moves to the stats on Sartorius, showing that he has only one medal and only participated in one duel: The one against Prince Ojin.

Chancellor Sheppard says, in a plain and serious tone, "I don't get you, Sartorius. You only played one duel against the prince of the Misgarth kingdom. Is that why you enrolled in this school and brainwashed a huge majority of the student body? Just for a satellite?"

Just then a female voice calls out, "I can tell you why, sir." Chancellor Sheppard then gasps and looks up to see Prince Ojin's female assistant come into the room.

Chancellor Sheppard clears his throat and says, "Sorry, I don't usually talk to myself."

Prince Ojin's female assistant tells Chancellor Sheppard, "It's all right, sir. I work for Prince Ojin. My name is Linda and I need your help."

Chancellor Sheppard asks, curiously, "What is it?"

Linda tells Chancellor Sheppard, "The prince and Sartorius made a bet with the prince waging our royal satellite and he lost, sir. The satellite has the power to brainwash everyone on the entire planet and it now belongs to Sartorius."

Chancellor Sheppard gasps in horror and exclaims, flabbergasted, "What?!"

Linda asks Chancellor Sheppard, "Can you help me, sir?"

Chancellor Sheppard asks, curiously, "What can I do?"

Linda tells Chancellor Sheppard, in a serious tone, "I might know a way to stop Sartorius, but I need more information on three students of yours: Aster Phoenix, Yusuke Urameshi and Jaden Yuki."

Chancellor Sheppard asks Linda, curiously, "Why do you need to know about them?"

Linda tells Chancellor Sheppard, seriously, "Because I believe they hold the keys to saving us all." Chancellor Sheppard's eyes widen at Linda's statement and he nods his head in agreement.

Inside of Sartorius's private quarters inside of the 'White Dorm', we find him sitting in front of his white marble table with six black boxes that hold six keys and the briefcase is open that shows the satellite controls inside on the table.

Sartorius says, plainly, "Finally, I have the power to make the world see the light, but I still need one more element to ensure my victory."

Just then a kind and gentle version of Sartorius's evil voice calls out in his mind, "No, we must stop this!"

Sartorius yells out, in an evil annoyed tone, "Silence, you fool! We need the three Chosen Duelists and the satellite to make the world see the light!" Sartorius then reaches for the satellite keys, but stops in his tracks as his hands start to shake and quiver.

The kind and gentle version of Sartorius's evil voice booms, "I won't let you do this! I will make you stop!"

Sartorius calls out, in his evil annoyed tone, "No one can stop me! Before I'm done, Jaden, Aster and Yusuke will see the light!"

In another portion of the island, we find our Slifer Ace walking down the path towards the beach along with a note in his right hand and a duel disk with a dueling deck inside attached to his left wrist.

The note says:

Jaden,

We have your friend, Blair, with us. Come to the beach on the other side of Academy Island or we will bring her to see Master Sartorius to see the light. Bring your deck and duel disk. And come alone, without your friends, especially Yusuke Urameshi, to help you or else, little miss Blair will see the light when she likes to or not.

Formally,

You know who

After getting this note, he found that Blair was taken from her room and immediately rushed over without telling anyone or hesitation because he knew that the members of the Society of Light will carry out their threats.

Jaden thinks in his mind, 'Don't worry, Blair. I will save you.' Soon enough, Jaden arrives at the beach to find Blair Flannigan tied up on a stake with three female SOL members, one of them was a female student with long deep black hair in a slightly spiked look with green eyes in white clothes waiting in front of Blair. Jaden shouts out, shocked, "Blair!"

Blair shouts out, worriedly, "Jaden, get away! It's a trap!"

The white student tells Blair, "Be silent, you!"

Jaden roars out, angrily, "Release Blair at once or you'll regret it, bitch!"

The white student replies, as he attached a duel disk to his left wrist and inserts a dueling deck into the dueling deck into the duel disk, "Not going to happen, Jaden Yuki. Unless you win this duel. If you win, Blair goes free, but if I win, both of you will join us in the Society of Light. And if you refuse to duel, Blair goes straight to Master Sartorius."

Just then a familiar female voice boomed, "You don't have much of a choice, Jaden!"

Jaden whips his head to see his 'former' white clad friend, Alexis behind him and Jaden narrowed his eyes to a Youko Kurama glare that scares her and sneers, "When I beat this loser, I'M GOING TO HAVE A GOOD TIME TEAR YOU A NEW ONE!!" Jaden turns his glare at the student, activates his duel disc, while his body glows bright red and says, in his demonic voice, "Now geek, let's throw down!"

Alexis slightly gasped in fear, knowing that voice too well and thinks in her mind, 'That's Demon Jaden's voice…that means…'

Jaden says, darkly, "But I'd like to know the name of my victim before I tear you limp by limp!"

The female student says, in a cold tone, "My name is Alison!"

Jaden says, in a dark tone, "Okay, Alison, time to be destroyed!" Jaden's red aura brightens as the duel commenced.

Starting Score:

Alison: 4000

Jaden: 4000

Jaden draws one card from his deck and says, "All right, get your game on!" Jaden looks at his hand and says, putting one card in his hand, "But first I think it's time for a change in scenery."

Just then Jaden's body becomes covered in a violet aura, and clouds of darkness appear over Alison and Jaden. Just then black metal bars rise up from the ground around Jaden and Alison, the bars unite together to become a black metal cage with spikes.

Alexis exclaims, shocked, "What?! Jaden can do a Shadow Game on his own?!"

Jaden tells them, with a dark sly grin on his lips, "That's right, bitch and this dork is about our next victim!" Alison becomes nervous from Jaden's dark smile and dark gleam in his eyes and then her feet along with Jaden's feet sink into the sand to their knees.

Alison struggles to get out of sand and she yells out, shocked, "What the hell?! I'm stuck!"

Jaden tells Alison, with a dark sly grin on his lips, "No duh, dork! We've both stuck until this duel is over! And plus, every time that we lose life-points, we get shocked by dark lightning come from those clouds!"

Alison yells out, stunned, "You are nuts!"

Jaden tells Alison, in a dark sarcastic tone, "As nuts as dorks like you bullied innocent students into your damn cult. Well, its payback time assholes and people like us have been called on to make sure you dorks pay for your crimes!" Jaden puts on a card into the spell/trap slot and says, "I activate Spell Curse and Medicine! Whenever a spell card is played I gain five hundred life-points and you lose five hundred life-points!"

Alison yells out, "No way!"

Alexis yells at Jaden, in outrage, "Jaden, you know that's hardly fair!"

Jaden ignored Alexis and slid a card into the spell/trap slot of his duel disc and says, "I activate Pot of Greed! However, I will get to that in a minute! Now, my Spell Curse and Medicine activates, I gain five hundred points while you get slammed with five hundred points of damage! Hope you aren't afraid of thunder and lightning, geek!" Just then Alison calls out in pain as she is shocked by dark lightning from the clouds overhead of her as her life-points drop by 500 and Jaden's life-points had increase by 500 as he drew two cards from his deck.

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

Jaden tells Alison, 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! I summon my Elemental Hero Sparkman in attack mode!" Soon after, Elemental Hero Sparkman (A: 1600/D: 1400) appears on the field in attack mode! Jaden then puts one card in the spell/trap card slots of his duel disk and calls out, "Next, I play the spell card, Quick Summon! Now I get to summon another monster to the field, but first, I get more pleasure with life-points while you get a real shock to your system!" Jaden's life-points increases by 500 points, while Alison loses 500 more points, which she yells out in pain as she gets shocked by more dark lightning. Jaden says, darkly, "Now, I play my Elemental Hero Clayman in defense mode!" Soon after, Elemental Hero Clayman (A: 800/D: 2000) comes to the field in defense mode. Jaden puts one card in the spell/trap slots and states, "I end my turn with one face-down!"

Current Score:

Alison: 3000

Jaden: 5000

Alison draws one card from her deck and exclaims, "My move!" Alison looks at her hand, puts one card in the spell/trap slots, and calls out, "First, I play my XYZ Formation spell card! At a cost of one thousand of my life-points, I can summon two monsters that are level four or less from my deck to the field!"

Jaden tells Alison, with a dark nasty tone, "Don't forget, geek, whenever you lose life-points, you will taste the pain!" Alison yells out in pain and agony as she is shocked by the dark lightning, once again, as her life-points drop by 1000.

Jaden says, in a dark and nasty tone, "Then there's my spell card, Spell Curse and Medicine! I gain five hundred points and you get five hundred points of pain!" Alison wails in pain as she is shocked by the dark lightning, once again, as her life-points drop by 500 and Jaden's points increases by 500.

Alexis says, in a horrified tone, "Jaden, please stop this! This is madness! This isn't a duel! This is just sick!"

Jaden continues to ignore Alexis, which infuriates her and Alison shouts out, coldly, "I still can I summon my X-Head Cannon and Y-Dragon Head to the field!" Soon after, X-Head Cannon (A: 1800/D: 1600) and Y-Dragon Head (A: 1500/D: 1600) appear on the field in attack mode. Alison puts another card on her duel disk and yells out, "Next, I play my Z-Metal Tank in attack mode!" By X-Head Cannon and Y-Dragon Head, Z-Metal Tank (A: 1500/D: 1300) appears on the field in attack mode. Alison then shouts out, "Next, I remove X-Head Cannon, Y-Dragon Head, and Z-Metal Tank from play in order to summon my XYZ Dragon Cannon!" All three monsters vanish when they are removed from play and XYZ Dragon Cannon (A: 2800/D: 2600) comes to the field in attack mode. Alison then takes two cards in his hand and sends them to his graveyard, declaring, "Next, I use my Dragon Cannon's special ability! By sending two cards to my grave, I can send your two monsters packing!" Soon after, Elemental Hero Sparkman and Clayman are destroyed in huge explosions.

Jaden shouts out, shocked, "Clayman! Sparkman!"

Alison then commands, "Now, Dragon Cannon, attack Jaden directly!" XYZ Dragon Cannon fires its weapons right at Jaden, preparing to strike him directly.

Blair shouts out, worriedly, "Jaden!"

Jaden presses a button on his duel disc and calls out, in a serious tone, "Not so fast, bitch! Negate Attack!" A powerful shield protects Jaden from Dragon Cannon's attack. Jaden tells Alison, "Sorry, Alison, but thanks to my trap, like my card tells you in its print, your attack is negated! That's all she wrote, wench!"

Alison puts three cards in the spell/trap slots and states, plainly, "I end my turn!"

Current Score:

Alison: 1500

Jaden: 5500

Jaden draws one card from his deck and puts one card on his duel disk and says, "Now, I play my Elemental Hero Burstinatrix in attack mode!" Soon after, Elemental Hero Burstinatrix (A: 1200/D: 800) comes to the field in attack mode. Jaden then puts one card in the spell/trap slots and shouts out, "Next, I play my Burst Impact spell! Now, every monster other than Burstinatrix is destroyed and you lose three hundred life-points for every monster! But, I'll get to that later, wench! Guess what time it is, dork!"

Alison yells out, in shock, "Oh no!"

Jaden says, with a dark sly grin, "Oh yes, bitch! It's time to taste the pain!" Alison wails in extreme pain as she is shocked by the dark lightning, once again, as her life-points drop by 500 and Jaden's points increases by 500. Then, XYZ Dragon Cannon is then destroyed in a huge explosion and Alison screams in pain and agony as she's shocked by the dark lightning, again, and loses 300 life-points from Burst Impact's other effect. Soon after, Alison's smoking form drops to her hands and knees causing her to groan out in pain.

Jaden tells Alison, nastily, "All right, wench, get up! On your feet! I want to take you down while standing up!"

Alexis was horrified and disgusted by this sight, she knew that Jaden would be angry and hated Sartorius and the Society of Light, but she didn't know how exactly Jaden hated it. Alexis then yells out, "Jaden, please…just stop it, already!"

Jaden snores in reply, ignoring the blonde and Alexis yells out, annoyed, "Are you even listening to me!?"

Jaden, again, snores in reply and says, "Now, Burstinatrix, attack her directly! Flare Storm!" Burstinatrix fires a strong flame attack right at Alison, preparing to strike her and her life-points, directly.

Alison says, plainly, "Reveal Draining Shield and Emergency Provisions!" A shield comes around Alison, negating Elemental Hero Burstinatrix's attack. Alison tells Jaden, "Thanks to this trap, not only is your attack negated, but its attack points are added to my life-points and thanks to Emergency Provisions, I can sacrifice Draining Shield and my facedown card to increase my life points further!" Alison's life-points than increase by 1200, thanks to Draining Shield and uses Emergency Provision to sacrifice Draining Shield and her facedown card to increase her life points by 2000 points.

Jaden tells Alison, with his dark sly smile, "That's good to know, because I was getting bored anyways! Oh and by the way, wench, my spell cards activate say goodbye to five hundred points!"

Alison cries in pain as she's shocked by dark lightning from the sky as her life points decreases by 500 points and Jaden's life-points increases by 500. Jaden puts two cards in the spell/trap slots and says, "I end with this!"

Current Score:

Alison: 3400

Jaden: 6500

Alison tells Jaden, while drawing one card from her deck, "You won't be smiling for long!" Alison puts one card in the spell/trap slots and calls out, "Now, I play my Card of Demise spell! I draw until I hold five cards in my hand, but in five turns, I lose my entire hand. However, this duel will be over long before then."

Jaden says, darkly, "Yes, it won't because thanks to my spell card, you taste the pain of five hundred points drained from your life-points!"

Alison screamed in pain and agony as she's slammed dark lightning to her body and her life-points decreases by 500 points, while Jaden's were increasing by 500 points. Alison then draws cards from her deck until she has five cards in her hand.

Alison puts one card in the spell/trap slots and calls out, "I play Dark Hole! Now, all monsters on the field are destroyed!" Elemental Hero Burstinatrix screams in terror as she is sucked into a black hole and sent to the graveyard.

Jaden exclaims, shocked, "My Burstinatrix!" Jaden yells out, in anger, "You'll pay for that! Actually, you will thanks to my Spell Curse and Medicine!"

Alison screams in pain as her life-points decreases by 500 points and she is hit by dark lightning and Jaden's life-points increases by 500. Alison puts another card in the spell/trap slots and calls out, "So what! When I play my Black Luster Ritual! Now, I send my Armed Dragon level ten to the graveyard to summon my Black Luster Soldier!" Alison sends Armed Dragon LV10 (A: 3000/D: 2000) to the graveyard, puts the Ritual monster card on his duel disk, and Black Luster Solider (A: 3000/D: 2500) comes to the field in attack mode.

Jaden smirks and says, "So what! You'll still be tasting pain!"

Alison screams in pain and agony as her life-points decreases by 500 points and she is hit by dark lightning and Jaden's life-points increases by 500. After the lightning assault, Alison falls on her knees and pants, while holding her body and thinks in her mind, 'This is horrible! It feels like I'm dying!'

Jaden yells out, in a dark nasty tone, "Hey this isn't break time, bitch! Get up so I can knock you back down, again!"

Alexis yells out, horrified, "Alison, surrender the duel! This is way too dangerous for you!"

Jaden says, darkly, "She can't…because in this Shadow Game, there's no way for someone to surrender!"

Alexis yells out, horrified, "You're kidding me!"

Blair says, darkly, "Sorry, wench! But as long as this Shadow Game, my Jaden will destroy you little minion!"

Jaden says, in a dark annoyed tone, "Well said and Blair…I'M NOT YOUR PROPERTY!!"

Alison sends a card into the spell/trap slots and says, "Finally, I play my White Veil spell card!" soon after, Black Luster Soldier becomes pure white and Alexis thinks in her mind, with a cold sly grin, 'Perfect, now Alison can destroy Jaden's unfair spell card and finally bring him to the light!'

Jaden says, with a dark sly grin, "Time to feel the pain, wench!"

Alison screams in pain and agony as she's shocked and loses 500 points, while Jaden gains them. Alison shouts out, seriously, "Now, my Chaos Soldier, attack his life-points directly!" Black Luster Solider moves in to attack Jaden directly.

Jaden roars out, "You've triggered my trap! Black Veil!"

Alexis yells out, in shock, "No way! I remember this card!"

Just then, the whole field was shrouded in a black fog that destroys Black Luster Soldier, "My monsters!" Alison yells, "It can't be…"

Jaden says, darkly, "I'm afraid so, dork and it gets worse, because the amount of the monsters that was destroyed by Black Veil, well then the total attack points of the monsters are subtracted from your life points!"

Alison shook her head in shock and squeaked, "No way!" Alison loses 3000 life points from the effect, ending the duel, immediately.

Current Score:

Alison: 0

Jaden: 7000

After the last holograms, the black clouds and black cage had faded, Alison fell to the ground, unconscious and Jaden says, "That's game, dork!"

Alexis clenches her right hand into a fist tightly and mentally exclaims, annoyed, 'Damn it! He got away again!'

Jaden tells Alexis, "Well, Alexis, I won the duel, so, let Blair go or I'll have to put these wenches as the next victims for my Shadow Game!"

The other two SOL members were frightened of Jaden's anger, especially Alexis, considering that she's witnessed first hand. Alexis motions for her fellow female white clad students to release Blair from the rope connected to the large stake, Blair runs to Jaden and the two female white clad students return to Alexis. Before any of the SOL members got away, Jaden lunged forwards and griped Alexis's wrist, with a shout of terror Alexis began to try and struggle in Jaden's iron like grip.

The two SOL members gasped, in fear, "Alexis!"

Pulling her forwards Jaden grasped Alexis's neck and threw her against the stake that Blair was tied to with a loud thud and a gasp of fright from the blonde haired teen, Jaden tightened his grip and Alexis soon found her feet leaving the floor as she was lifted effortlessly into the air, her back pressed firmly against the stake. No matter how hard she tried, she couldn't loosen Jaden's iron grip.

Jaden yells out, darkly, glaring icily at Alexis, who coursed her blood to run cold, "Just what the fuck you thought you were doing? Kidnapping another one of my friends to force me into another duel with you freaks!"

Alexis chokes out, fearfully, with a soft and croaky voice, "W-w-we w-w-wanted t-to k-know…" The blonde teen was finding it hard to speak with her throat being held so tightly

Jaden yells out, darkly, "Speak up, wench!" Jaden shot narrowing his hatred filled brown eyes at Alexis, as he further encloses his grip.

Alexis manages to chokes out, fearfully, "W-w-w-why you w-w-would a-act l-like a t-total j-jerk t-towards u-us?"

Jaden shouts out, almost defining Alexis, "Why?!"

Alexis manages to choke out, fearfully, "J…Jaden, y…you're hurting me…"

Jaden yells out, in a dark anger, at the top of his lungs, while pulling Alexis closer to his face, "YOU FUCKING TOOL, YOU THINK I CARE THAT I'M HURTING YOU AFTER WHAT YOU'VE DONE TO ME, YOUR BROTHER, COUSIN AS WELL AS THE OTHERS, NOT TO MENTION THE INNOCENT PEOPLE THAT YOU HURT! I TOLD YOU I WANTED NOTHING TO DO WITH YOU DORKS AND AS WELL AS THAT FREAK YOU CALL 'MASTER'! THAT MEANS STOP USING MY FRIENDS AS BAITS TO LURE ME OR YUSUKE INTO DUELING ANOTHER ONE OF YOU LOSERS, STOP TRYING TO FIND OUT WHY AM I ACTING TOWARDS YOU PEOPLE AND TO JUST STAY OUT OF MY WAY!" Jaden then slamming the blonde teen's back against the stake. Jaden was enclosing his grip onto Alexis's neck and making the blonde haired girl's face turn color.

One of the female SOL members yells out, in a cold tone, "LET HER GO, NONBELIEVER!"

Jaden gives the SOL member a Youko Kurama glare, which scares her and her fellow white clad student and snaps out, "PISS OFF, BITCH! Now this is the last time I'm going to say this, so listen carefully, KEEP THE HELL AWAY FROM ME AND MY FRIENDS, YOU LITTLE BITCH!" Jaden then spits into Alexis's face and throws her onto the ground hard and walked away from the beach, with Blair following him.

The SOL members ran to the falling form of Alexis and one of the SOL members, asks, "Are you okay, Alexis?"

Another one asks, "Should we tell someone about this?"

Alexis slowly gets on her feet, wipes the spit from her face and says, "No! Just keep your mouths closed, okay!" Alexis looks back towards the retreating figures of Jaden and Blair, holding back the tears from her eyes.

Alexis thinks in her mind, shocked, 'I don't get it! First, Jaden insults us on a radio show. Then, he and the others make us look like criminals more and more. Plus, when I told Jaden to stop his ruthless Shadow Game, he just ignores me and almost tries to kill me! I won't give up! I know that Demon Jaden must be controlling Jaden's actions and if I beat him, Jaden will back to his old self, see the light and finally be my side in the Society of Light! I'm not going to lose Jaden to his demonic side! I will have Jaden Yuki and no one is going to stop me…especially not his fucking demonic side!'

Somewhere at the other part of Academy Island, we find Bastion Misawa dueling a Pro duelist in front of the school, with Mina watching in the sidelines. Bastion had two Hydrogeddons (A: 1600/D: 1000 X2) and Oxygeddon (A: 1800/D: 800) on the field in attack mode with one facedown and twelve hundred life points left, while the Pro had one Big Shield Guardna (A: 100/D: 2600) in defense mode with no facedowns and two thousand life points left.

Bastion draws his card and says, "My turn!" Bastion slids a card into the spell/trap slot and says, "Bonding H2O to sacrifice my two Hydrogeddons and Oxygeddon to summon forth Water Dragon!" Soon after, the three named monsters swirled together to bring Water Dragon (A: 2800/D: 2000) in attack mode. Bastion presses a button on the disc and says, "Next, I activate my trap, Micro Ray! Now, your monster's defense points are automatically go down to zero." Big Shield Guardna's stats are decreased to 100/0.

The Pro sneers, "Since my monster is in defense mode, there's no way that you'll hurt my life points, kid!"

Bastion slids a card into the spell/trap slot and says, "Not when I activate this, Fairy's Meteor Crush!"

The Pro yells in shock, "Me and my big mouth!"

Bastion says, in a serious tone, "Now, thanks to this, my good man, the difference between my monster's attack points and your defending monster's defense points are taken out of your life points! Now Water Dragon, attack with Tidal Blast!" Water Dragon fires a stream of water towards Big Shield Guardna and slams into it. With an added force, the Obelisk student was pushed back hard to the floor as he loses 2800 life points, immediately ending the duel.

Final Score:

Bastion: 1200

Pro: 0

Mina cheers as she dashes towards Bastion, "Nice work, Lord Bastion!"

Bastion gathers the metals from his opponent and says, "Thank you, Mina!" Bastion opens his blazer and stashes his 'wins' inside. Bastion then says, "You seem to be doing well in this tournament so far, Mina."

Mina blushes in reply and says, bashfully, "Well, I only have twenty-eight metals so far, Lord Bas…"

Bastion holds his hand up to interrupt her and says, "Please…no more of this 'Lord Bastion', Mina, just call me 'Bastion'."

Mina blushes and says, bashfully, "Sure, Lo…I mean…Bastion, I only have twenty-nine metals while you have only thirty metals so far."

Bastion says, "But you're almost close to me, Mina…now let's see how our 'white-clad friends' are doing."

Just then a familiar male voice boomed, "Why don't you find out for yourself, dork!?"

Bastion and Mina turn to the source of the voice to see Chazz with a group of male and female white clad students in front of them.

Bastion asks, in a dark tone, "What do you think that you are doing here, Princeton?!"

Chazz tells Bastion, in a sarcastic tone, "What's the problem, Bastion? We aren't near the Slifer Red or Ra Yellow dorms so you can't expel us for that."

Bastion tells Chazz, in a dark tone "You might have a point, but by the looks of the students behind you, it is logical to assume that you aren't here to say 'hello'."

Chazz roars out, seriously, "You got that right, buster! I think it is time for you and Mina to see the light Bastion!"

Bastion tells Chazz, in a serious tone, "I think not, twit!"

A white clad student with duel disks attached to his left wrist step forward and Chazz tells Bastion, "You and Mina don't have a choice! There will be two one-on-one matches, of course! Any questions?"

Mina asks, in a dark tone, "Where do you geeks want to be buried when we win?"

Chazz yells out, "The only things that are going to be buried are you two with the Light! Destroy Bastion, Tim!"

The white student known as Tim says, with a cold tone, "Will do, Chazz!" Tim tells Bastion, "Get ready to see the light, nonbeliever!"

Bastion asks, in a dark tone, unlike him before, "Get ready to see an old good friend of friend: Defeat!"

Chazz was the first to notice the change of tone in Bastion's voice as Tim and Bastion activates their duel disc and says, in unison, as both duelists drew five cards from their decks, "Game on!"

Starting Scores:

Tim: 4000

Bastion: 4000

Bastion draws a card from his deck and says, "I'll start! Before we duel, I'll like to take this duel to the next level!"

Chazz and the SOL members yells in unison, horrified, "Next level!"

Just then Bastion's his body begins to glow a dark violet aura. Soon after, pitch black clouds appear in the skies above Tim and Bastion but the rest of the skies remain clear as day.

Tim asks, perplexed and fearfully, "What's going on here? What is this?"

Bastion tells Tim, in a dark sly tone, "Why, it is a Shadow Game, you fool!"

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

Chazz yells out, shocked, "No way! Bastion can create a Shadow Game too!"

Bastion tells Tim, in a dark sarcastic tone, "Exactly! If you want to duel against me, you will have to fight by our rules!" Just then two chains come up from Bastion's side of the dueling field and attach manacles to his lower legs, locking him in place. Just then another set of chains comes up Tim's side of the field and attach manacles to his lower legs. Tim tries to break free, but no matter how hard he tries, he can't break free of the manacles.

Tim exclaims, shocked, "I'm stuck!"

Bastion tells Tim, in a dark tone, "That's right! These manacles will make sure that we can't move from where we are and those dark clouds of lightning hovering above us! Well, they shock us for every single life-point that we lose!"

Tim yells at Bastion, horrified, "This is nuts!"

Bastion retorts, darkly, "You fool, the only thing that's nuts are you people! You've hurt too many innocent students on this island and I'll see to it that it ends, either by choice or in hospital beds! Now moving on, I summon Magnet Warrior Sigma Plus in attack mode!" Soon after, the robotic warrior, Magnet Warrior Sigma Plus (A: 1800/D: 1500) comes to the field in attack mode. Bastion then puts one card in the spell/trap slots of his duel disk and states, "I will end with this."

Tim tells Bastion, in a cold tone, "You call that I move!" Tim draws his card and says, "How lame! I summon Beetron One known as Beetle Top!" Soon after, Beetron One-Beetle Top (A: 1700/D: 1400) comes to the field in attack mode. Tim slids a card into the spell/trap slot and says, "Next, I play Frontline Base! Now I can summon any union monster from my hand, as long as it has four stars or below!" Tim places a card onto the disc and says, "Like this guy, Beetron Two-Beetle Turbo!" Soon after, Beetron Two-Beetle Turbo (A: 1500/D: 1800) comes to the field in attack mode. Tim calls out, "Now Beetron One and Beetron Two, join together!" The two mechanical insect monsters had combined together and Beetron One-Beetle Top increases from 1700/1400 to 2100/1800. Tim then calls out, "Now attack, Beetle Rush!" The mechanical monster rushes towards Bastion's monster.

Bastion presses a button on his disc and calls out, "You've activated my Trap, Magnetic Force PLUS!" Bastion's trap produces green lightning, which throws Beetle Top back to Tim's side to Tim's frustration and Bastion states, "I reconfigure your Beetle Top's electrons thus altering its magnetic field! If you're too slow to get this in your feeble little mind, twit, he's become a positively charged monster, exactly like mine, so now the two can't fight!"

Chazz yells out, "Oh come on, dork! Last I checked this was a duel not a science class!"

Mina tells Bastion, "Hey Bastion, I think the little white geek needs some science tutoring!"

Bastion tells Mina, "Please, if I had to tutoring Princeton, then it wouldn't even be my worth!"

Chazz growled in annoyance and anger as Bastion drew his card and says, "First of, I send my Magnet Warrior to the Graveyard, along with Omega Minus from my hand." Soon enough, Bastion sends the monster card known as Magnet Warrior Omega Minus (A: 1900/D: 600) among with his Sigma Plus monster card, puts another card on his duel disk, and calls out, "This allows me to call my Conductive Warrior Linear Magnum to the field!" Afterwards, Conductive Warrior Linear Magnum Plus Minus (A: 2700/D: 2300) appears on the field in attack mode. Bastion then calls out, "Warrior Magnum, destroy his Beetle Top!" Bastion's monster fires its two laser cannons at Beetle Top, destroying it with a huge explosion, only leaving Beetron One-Beetle Top behind and costing 600 life-points. Just then a dark lightning bolt slams into Tim from the cloud and he screams out in pain as the dark electric energy slams into him. When the dark lightning bolt is gone, Tim's form is slightly smoking, he groans out in pain, and then he says, "That…That hurt!"

Bastion tells Tim, darkly, "And it is going to keep hurting until this duel is over! Moving on," Bastion slids a card into the slot and says, "I place one card facedown and end my turn!"

Current Score:

Tim: 3400

Bastion: 4000

Just then, a familiar male voice boomed, "Bastion! Mina!"

Bastion and Mina turned to see Jaden, Blair, Syrus, Hassleberry, Sasuke, Sakura and the Urameshi twins, who joined them, recently, running towards them and Mina greets, "Hey guys!"

Chazz's voice boomed, "What are you dorks doing here!?"

Blair yells at Chazz, darkly, "None of your business, asshole!"

Jaden says, darkly, "Yeah, no joke! So, stop butting into people's business, dweeb!"

Chazz growls in anger and Sakura tells Bastion, in a sly grin, "So, Bastion, I see that you're dueling another geek from the Society of Light in a Shadow Game, huh?"

Bastion replies, "Yes!"

Mina says, "Plus, Bastion is so far giving this geek a run for his money!"

Tim draws his card and says, "Not for long!" Tim slid a card into the spell/trap slot and says, "Next, I play Pot of Greed!" Tim draws two cards from the top of his deck, slids a card into the spell/trap slot and says, "Now, I play the spell card, Feather of the Phoenix! Now by sending one card from my hand, I can bring a card from the graveyard!" Tim sends a card from his card and brings back his Beetron Two-Beetle Turbo, brings it to his hand and says, placing a card onto his disc and says, "Next, I summon Beetron Three-Spider Base!" Soon after, Beetron Three-Spider Base (A: 1000/D: 2000) in attack mode and Tim says, "Thanks to Frontline Base, I can bring to the field Beetron Two-Beetle Turbo back to the field!" Soon after, Beetron Two-Beetle Turbo appears on the field in attack mode. Tim then calls out, "Now, Beetrons, join together!" All three Beetron monsters then leap into the air as the three monster cards are returned to Tim's deck while Tim takes a fusion monster card from his fusion deck, puts it on his duel disk, and Tim calls out, "Meet Assault Cannon Beetle!" The three Beetron monsters are united and Assault Cannon Beetle (A: 2400/D: 2800) comes to the field in attack mode. Tim slids a card into the spell/trap slot and says, "Next, I activate Scapegoats to get four goat tokens!" Soon after, the four little goats (A: 0/D: 0X4) appears on the field. Tim then calls out, "Thanks to the special ability of my Assault Cannon Beetle, you're out of luck, nonbeliever! Because I can sacrifice monsters from my side of the field to inflict eight hundred points of damage to your life-points!"

Kino yells out, "No way!"

Jaden says, stunned, "That's one impressive power!" Jaden says, in a dark sly smile, "But it's nothing Bastion can't handle."

Tim calls out, "I'll sacrifice my scapegoats to inflict eight hundred points to your life-points!" Tim's Assault Cannon Beetle sucks the little goats to its cannon and fired at Bastion. The goats hits Bastion's chest, removing 3200 points from Bastion's life points. The dark lightning hits Bastion's form, but Ra Yellow's best duelist didn't scream out of pain.

Chazz yells out, "Oh come on! You have to be feeling that!"

As the dark lightning stops, Bastion wipes the imaginary dust from his yellow blazer and tells Chazz, nastily, "Sorry, Princeton, I didn't feel anything from that strike!"

Tim winches in fear and says, "I…end my turn!"

Current Score:

Tim: 3400

Bastion: 800

Bastion draws a card and says, seriously, "Now, I sacrifice my Conductive Warrior Linear Magnum Plus Minus to summon Plasma Warrior Atom to the field!" Warrior Magnum vanishes from the field as it is sacrificed, Bastion puts another card on his duel disk, and Plasma Warrior Atom (A: 3000/D: 2500) appears on the field in attack mode. Bastion says, in a dark tone, "Thanks to my monster's ability, I can reduce Plasma Warrior Atom's attack points by half to attack you directly!"

Tim yells out, fearfully, "No way!"

Bastion says, in a sly grin, "I'm afraid so!" Plasma Warrior Atom's stats are decreased to 1500/2500! Bastion then commands, "Now, Plasma Warrior Atom, attack this peon directly!" Plasma Warrior Atom fires an electrical sphere out of its chest that by-passes Tim's monsters and he scream out, in pain as he lose 1500 life-points from the attack and dark lightning hits him from the sky. As soon as the dark lightning stops, Tim's form falls to the ground on his hands and knees panting. Bastion slids a card into the slid, as Plasma Warrior Atom's stats returns to normal, and says, "Finally, I'll play a facedown and that will suffice!"

Current Score:

Tim: 1900

Bastion: 800

Tim groans in pain as he tries to stand and Chazz yells at Tim, coldly, "Hey Tim, get your lazy ass in gear, dork, and put this loser in his place in the light!"

Tim manages to get on his feet, draws his next card and tells Bastion, "You're gonna pay for that! Mark my words!" Tim slids a card into the spell/trap and says, "Now, I play my Front Change spell card! This card allows me to trade my Assault Cannon Beetle for my ultimate machine monster!" Assault Cannon Beetle leaps into the air and while it reassembles itself, Tim calls out, putting the card on his duel disk, "The one and only Combat Scissors Beetle!" Soon after, Combat Scissor Beetle (A: 3600/D: 1800) appears on the field in attack mode. Tim puts another card in the spell/trap slots and shouts out, "And now, I play this! White Veil!"

Chazz tells our heroes and heroines, with a sly smirk, "Hey dorks, you better start saying 'bye-bye' to your friend, now! Because he's gonna be one of us, soon enough!"

Yusuke yells out, "Wouldn't count on it, dork!"

Tim's monster transforms into a pure white color, but Bastion isn't fazed in the least by the transformation and in fact, his dark grin becomes wider.

Chazz sees this and thinks, 'Something is wrong here. For someone that knows the powers of White Veil so well, Bastion is too far relaxed! Actually, he looks glad that Tim played White Veil. Well, it can't be any of those facedown cards because they will be negated and destroyed by White Veil. Then why can't I get this bad feeling out of my mind?' Chazz's eyes widened, in shock and thinks in his mind, 'Wait a sec! Those facedowns…one of them must be…'

Tim yells out, "Now, Combat Scissor Beetle, take out his pathetic monster with White Combat Slice!" As Tim's monster launches its attack, Tim tells Bastion, with a sly grin, "And remember, thanks to White Veil, all of your spell and trap cards are negated and destroyed."

Bastion replies, with a dark sly grin, "Are you sure?" Bastion pushes a button on his duel disc and yells out, "Reveal trap! Go, Dark Veil!"

Chazz gasped in shock, 'I should have known that dork had that trap card, just like those two twerps, Syrus and Jordan!'

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

Tim yells out, shocked, "It can't be!"

Bastion tells Tim, in a dark tone, "Oh, but it gets worse for you, freak!" Soon after, the dark aura from the hologram of Dark Veil trap card goes onto Plasma Warrior Atom causing its body pitch black and its eyes to gain a crimson red glow. Bastion tells Tim, 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, for every Spell and Trap Card that was destroyed by this effect, you lose four hundred points!" Just then Tim's Frontline Base and White Veil spell cards are destroyed, Tim's monster returns to its original color and the dark lightning slams into Tim and he screams in extreme pain and agony as he loses 800 points from his life-points.

Tim roars out at Bastion, angrily, "Doesn't matter, wretch! My attack is still going to happen and you'll lose the duel thanks to my monster's special ability! Whenever it destroys a monster on your side of the field, it inflicts one thousand points of direct damage to your life-points!"

Bastion replies, with a dark sly grin, "Just like a typical fool from the Society of Light?" Bastion pushes a button on his duel disc and says, "I activate the trap card, Magic Cylinder!" Two cones appeared onto Bastion's side of the field and Bastion says, "Thanks to this trap, your attack is negated and thrown right back at you!"

Tim yells out, in shock, "No way!" Combat Scissors Beetle's attack was sent to the cone and came out the other way and hits Tim hard and the dark lighting came crashing into his body as he screams in pain and agony as he loses 3600 life-points, ending the duel, immediately.

Final Score:

Tim: 0

Bastion: 800

Soon after, the final images and the dark cloud had disappeared and Tim's form was lying on his back, unconscious and Chazz exclaims, shocked, "What?! We lost another duel!"

After he calmed his wins, Bastion tells Chazz, with a dark sly grin, "Maybe you should learn not to underestimate your opponents, Princeton."

Chazz yells out, annoyed, "You might have won that duel, but it's Mina's turn to see the light!" Chazz motions a female SOL member, with long black hair and blue eyes, and says, "Show no mercy, Melissa!"

The SOL member known as Melissa replies in a cold tone, "Don't worry, Chazz! I'll bring this girl to the light!"

Mina puts on her disc and says, "Please, come with a better material than that, wench! It's putting me to sleep!"

Melissa yells out, in a cold determined tone, "We'll see who's making jokes in the end!"

Mina says, "Yeah, we will! Once you're gone from this world!"

The two duelists activates their duel discs, drew five cards from their decks and yells out, in unison, "Game on!"

Starting Score:

Melissa: 4000

Mina: 4000

Melissa draws her sixth card and says, "I'll begin!" Melissa places a card horizontally on the disc and says, "I'll set a monster card facedown in defense mode and end my turn!"

Mina says, darkly, "It that it!" Mina draws her card from the deck and says, "How lame!" Mina's body begins to glow in dark energy as black chains with shackles come up from the ground, snap onto the two duelists' legs, two leg shackles for each duelist, and the whole courtyard into a glass-like surface.

Melissa asks, confused, "What is this? I can't move!"

Chazz yells out, flabbergasted, "No way! Not another Shadow Game!"

Mina tells Melissa, darkly, "No duh, geek! This is a Shadow Game!"

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

Mina calls out, in a dark nasty tone, "Is there an echo in here, twerp?! That's right! This is a Shadow Game! And I will put this in simple terms for you to understand. Every time a duelist loses life-points, the players get shocked by these 'Shadow Shockers' below us and we are chained and trapped here until the duel is over. Unless they are too scared to face me, now."

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

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

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

Mina says, darkly, "It's still my turn, whelp! Now I summon Horus the Black Flame Dragon level four in attack mode!" Soon after, Horus the Black Flame Dragon LV4 (A: 1600/D: 1000) appears on the field, giving a loud roar. Mina calls out, "Now, my dragon, blast that facedown monster into oblivion!" Horus fires a black fireball at Melissa facedown monster, which appeared to be Slate Warrior (A: 1900/D: 400).

Melissa tells Mina, in a cold sly smile, "Thanks for that, wench! You just destroyed my Slate Warrior and his special ability activates, now your dragon loses five hundred points!" Horus roars in pain as its stats decreases to 1100/1000.

Mina says, in a dark sly smile, "That wouldn't matter, bitch, because I'll sacrifice Horus for a better monster! Like Horus the Black Flame Dragon level six!" Horus gives a roar as dark light surrounds it, he disappears and Horus the Black Flame Dragon LV6 (A: 2300/D: 1600) appears on the field, giving a roar, which made Melissa winches in fear. Mina tells Melissa, darkly, "Your move, bitch!"

Melissa growls in anger as she tears off a card from her deck and says, coldly, "I'll pay for that insult, nonbeliever!" Melissa places another card horizontally and says, "I play Sonic Duck in defense mode!" Soon after, Sonic Duck (A: 1700/D: 700) appears on the field in defense mode and Melissa says, "I end my turn!"

Mina draws her card and says, "That was pathetic! I summon Twin-Headed Behemoth in attack mode!" Soon after, Twin-Headed Behemoth appears on the field in attack mode. Mina calls out, "Now Horus, I like my ducks well cooked and medium rare!" Horus fires a stream of black flames towards Sonic Duck, destroying it and Mina calls out, "Now Twin-Headed Behemoth, direct attack!" Twin-Headed Behemoth sends flames at Melissa and hits her hard. Melissa yells out in pain and agony as she's shocked by dark electric energy from the panels and her life-points drop by 1500 points. After the electricity stops, Melissa drops to her knees and hugs her body in pain. Mina calls out, "Now Horus gets one more up grade to Horus the Black Flame Dragon level eight!" Soon after, the level six Horus grows to and upgrades to Horus the Black Flame Dragon LV8 (A: 3000/D: 1800) appears in its place, giving a loud roar. Mina says, "It's your move, wench, and if you're think about using any spell cards forget it! My level eight dragon can negate any spell card, I choose, which means that all of your spell cards are useless!"

Melissa yells out, horrified, "No way!"

Mina asks, in a dark taunting tone, "Care to give up, dork!?"

Melissa yells out, in a serious tone, "No way!"

Mina says, darkly, "Don't say that I didn't warn ya!"

Current Score:

Melissa: 2500

Mina: 4000

Melissa draws a card and says, "I remove from play Sonic Duck and Slate Warrior from play in order to summon two Slipheeds in attack mode!" Soon after, Sonic Duck and Slate Warrior came out of the grave slot and Melissa places them in her deck pouch and two Slipheeds (A: 1700/D: 700 X 2) comes to the field.

Mina asks, with a dark smile, "What difference will that make!? It will be target practice for me!"

Melissa slids a card into the spell/trap slot and says, "We'll see about that, bitch! I end my turn!" Melissa thinks in her mind, with a cold smile, 'As soon as Mina attacks me, I'll spring my trap card, Light Spread! Once activated, all monsters on her side of the field are destroyed and she takes damage equal to all of the combined attack points to her life points! I knew that this nonbeliever will see the light, thanks to Master Sartorius, of course!'

Mina draws her card and says, darkly, "Let the destruction begin!" Mina slids a card, into the spell/trap slot and says, "I activate Trap Booster, by sending a card from my hand to the graveyard, I can activate a trap card right away from my hand and I choose Dark Veil!" Mina slids the card into the spell/trap slot and Horus glows in dark light and Melissa yells out, "No! That would mean that I can't activate my trap card!"

Mina tells Melissa, darkly, "That's right, dork, and when your facedown is obliterated, you lose three hundred points! Now Horus, attack her pathetic monster!" Horus blasts a stream of black flames at one of the Slipheeds and destroys them, along with her facedown monster, causing Melissa to yells out in pain and agony as she's shocked by dark electric energy from the panels and her life-points drops by 1600. Mina says, with a dark smile, "I'm not with you yet, dork! Twin-Headed Behemoth, attack her life-points directly!" Twin-Headed Behemoth sends flames at Melissa and hits her hard. Melissa yells out in pain and agony as she's shocked by dark electric energy from the panels and her life-points drop by 1500 points, immediately ending the duel.

Current Score:

Melissa: 0

Mina: 4000

Soon after, Melissa falls onto her back and loses unconscious, as the manacles, the dark cloud above and the final holographic images disappears and Chazz exclaims, shocked, "What?! We lost another duel!"

Kino says, in a dark tone, "Maybe, you should think twice before sending these losers to us to beat!"

Bastion sends a glare similar to Youko Kurama's at Chazz and the other SOL members, which scared them, and yells out, darkly, "Now, if you freaks are still here, then I'll try my Shadow Game with the rest of you!"

The SOL member back away in fear and Chazz growls, not wanting to find out what will happened when he gets any of our heroes and heroines angry, and yells out, annoyed, "You might have won, but it's not over! You dorks will see the light, if it's the last thing I do! Come on!" Chazz walks away from our heroes and heroines, with the rest of the remaining SOL members.

Soon after, Mina went over to the unconscious former SOL member and picked all of Melissa's medals from her pocket and says, "All in a day's work!"

Just then two familiar female screams was heard, which got our heroes and heroines' attention.

Hassleberry yells out, seriously, "Sam hill! What's that!?"

Jaden calls out, in a serious tone, "That was Jasmine and Mindy! I know their voices anywhere!"

Yusuke nods his head and says, "You're right, Jaden! And it sounds like they are in trouble!"

Tyranno then calls out, in a serious tone, "Well, what are we waiting for?!" Not needing another word to be said, our heroes and heroines rush over to where they heard the screams out Alexis's two 'former' best friends.

In a rocky pace of land near a cliff-side near the ocean, Jasmine and Mindy dueling against a young man with well-combined black hair and black eyes with a short black beard in the center of his chin wearing a black formal vest over a white formal shirt, black bow-tie, black pants, and black formal shoes. Soon after, we find our heroes and heroines running to the field to see them.

Kino tells Jaden, "You were right, Lord Jaden! It is Jasmine and Mindy!" Kino then looks at their opponent and asks, curiously, "But who are they dueling?"

Bastion says, in a plain tone, "That's the Maitre'd. He's eighth in the Pro dueling circuit."

The group gasps in shock and Hikari exclaims, "A pro?! Oh, great! Jaz and Mindy aren't too bad duelists, but they've been focusing their tactics against those dorks, not pro duelists! They can't win!"

Yusuke tells Hikari, "Unfortunately, Kari. You're right. Take a look at the score." At this time in the duel, Jasmine and Mindy, who are a team, have only 1600 life-points left with only Mermaid Knight (A: 1500/D: 700) on Jasmine's side of the field in attack mode and Rescue Cat (A: 1500/D: 700) on Mindy's side of the field in defense mode. On the meanwhile, the Maitre'd have his Bacchus, the Hard-Drinker God (A: 1600/D: 1600) in attack mode and a full 4000 life-points. However, it was the Pro Duelist's turn and his Bacchus's states increase from 1600/1600 to 1900/1600, thanks to its special ability.

Maitre'd calls out, in a French accent, "Now, my little Mademoiselles, it is time for the first course. Bacchus, take out her little mermaid!" Bacchus launches a stream of wine from its mouth at Mermaid Knight and destroys it, costing Mindy and Jasmine 400 life-points.

Jasmine yells out, shocked, "My Mermaid Knight!"

Maitre'd puts one card in the spell/trap slots and says, in his French accent, "And to wash that down, may I suggest some Chalice of the Gods. This allows me to summon a Wine Token to the field!" Soon after, a little red blob of red wine, Wine Token (A: 1000/D: 1000), comes to the field in attack mode. Maitre'd then calls out, "Now, get rid of that filthy feline!" The Wine Token rushes right in, goes into Rescue Cat's mouth, and takes it out from the inside out.

Mindy yells out, in shock, "Oh no! My cute little kitty cat!"

Maitre'd move a wine glass around and says, "Ha! Is this all you've have, mademoiselles?! I would have expected more from the famous Obelisk Blue!"

Jasmine asks Maitre'd, annoyed, "What do you mean by that?"

Maitre'd tells them, insulting them with his French accent, "Your dueling skills, how we can say this, is like bad wine. Very spoiled and brand, madam. The two of you are better off making tea and flowers. I can see that dueling here is a man's job."

Hikari, Mina and Sakura are enraged by the statement, but before they could say anything, a familiar cold female voice shouts out, "Well, then how about you try me, French breath?!" Everyone looks to see Alexis Rhodes, in her Obelisk White uniform, with her duel disk attached to her left wrist and a dueling deck inside of her dueling disk, walking over to everyone.

Jasmine yells out, in a dark angered tone, "Hey, we didn't ask for your help, white wench, so, bug off?!"

Mindy yells out, in a dark angered tone, "That's right, bitch! So, why don't you go back to that Hellhole, you call 'White Dorm' and keep chatting 'All hail the light' or whatever useless garbage, you, Society Geeks, do to ruin the lives of innocent people!"

Alexis looks at her 'former' best friends and says, horrified, "Jasmine…Mindy…you two!"

Jasmine and Mindy sends glares similar to Youko Kurama's, which made the fear within Alexis to grow and Jasmine says, in a dark sarcastic tone, "Ding! Ding! The little white bitch has given the right answer, ever since she's abandoned her family, friends and everything she's believed in for power from the Society of Trash!"

Alexis looked at the eyes of her 'former' best friends and saw nothing but anger, rage and hatred pointing directly at her. But she tries to ignore it and yells out, a cold nasty tone, "I didn't come here to help you! I came here to teach this little French chef a lesson in manners! If he thinks that he can pick on others just because he is some kind of big bad pro, he's got another thing coming!"

Kino asks, in a dark plain tone, "Why would a Society snot care about that?!"

Jaden thinks in his mind, with a dark glare in his eyes, 'Is it possible that some of the old Alexis is trying to break through? If that's the case, then I'll have to be even tougher to break this imposter to get her back!'

Mindy tells Alexis, in a dark nasty tone, "This is our duel and we're the one that will teach this jerk a lesson, geek!"

Jasmine roars out, in a dark angered tone, "So, get lost and get a life, dork! We don't need the help of someone from an organization that's going to be extinct soon enough!"

Alexis yells out, in a cold serious tone, "The Society of Light will not be extinct!"

Mindy tells Alexis, in a dark sneer, "Then, why the number of the girls from the Society of Morons are are suddenly decreasing!"

Alexis gasped in shock and says, stunned, "What? No way! You're only lying!"

Jasmine says, darkly, "Then, to your hellhole and see if we're wrong!"

Alexis yells out, "I don't have to…" Just then, she felt something hit her forehead hard and she yelps in pain as she clutches the bleeding part of her head. She looks at our heroes and heroines and she gasped to see Jaden throwing a few pebbles in the air, while giving a dark glare at her. Jaden says, in a dark sneer, "You heard the ladies, wench!" Jaden grabs on the pebbles, crushes them hard enough and the remains were dropped to the sand as dust and Jaden says, darkly, "Now beat it! This is there duel, so why don't you go back to that shithole and chat that 'All hail the Light' shit, before Sartorius will wonder why the Society of Light is short one member."

Alexis was a shock, disbelieving that Jaden would actually say such a thing to anyone at all and thinks in her mind, looking at the dark glares that she was receiving from her 'former' friends, 'I know somehow Demon Jaden is doing this, he's making Jaden, Jordan, Atticus, Jasmine, Mindy and the others hate me to the brink of killing me. It's will be best not to anger them more than they are now.' Alexis retorts, in a cold serious tone, "Fine! But if you dweebs lose this duel and insult us, girls, everywhere, I will personally make sure that you see the light!"

Jasmine tells Alexis, in a dark nasty tone, "For your information, Rhodes, you're already a disgrace to all girls everywhere for being in the Society of Trash in first place!"

Mindy tells Alexis, in a dark nasty tone, "So, get out of our faces, bitch, before we make you look uglier then you do now!"

Alexis then turns around and heads back into the central of the island.

Yusuke asks Hikari, "Did you see that, Kari?"

Hikari nods her head and replies, "Yeah, I did, Yusuke. I believe that some of the old 'Lex is breaking through Sartorius's mind-control. We can only hope that there is a chance for her to break the spell on her own, before we actually have to use a Shadow Game on her."

After Alexis is gone, Jasmine tells the Maitre'd, in a serious tone, "Now, finish your move!"

The Maitre'd replies, in his French accent, "Fine, mademoiselle. I will end with this." He puts one card on his duel disk and an image of a face-down monster card appears on the field.

Current Score:

Jasmine and Mindy: 1200

Maitre'd: 4000

Kino says, in a plain tone, "They are nuts if they are trying to challenge him! There could be two hundred of them and he will still win!"

Hikari tells Kino, seriously, "Well, I'll say that I know that they will turn this around!"

Jasmine draws one card from her deck and calls out, "My move!" Jasmine puts one card in the spell/trap slots and says, "I play my Pot of Greed! Now, I can draw two cards from my deck!" Jasmine draws two cards from her deck, puts one card on her duel disk, and calls out, "Then I play this! My Silent Magician level four in attack mode!" Soon after, Silent Magician LV4 (A: 1000/D: 1000) comes to the field in attack mode.

The Maitre'd says, with a sly grin, "That little shrimp doesn't stand a chance against my Bacchus and he is ready to feast."

Jasmine puts one card in the spell/trap slots and calls out, with a sly grin, "I don't think so, 'Chef'! I play my Level Up! This spell card upgrades my Silent Magician from level four to LEVEL EIGHT!" Just then, Silent Magician LV4 vanishes from the field and Silent Magician LV8 (A: 3500/D: 1000) comes to the field in attack mode. Jasmine asks Maitre'd, with a sly grin, "What do you think of my 'little shrimp' now?" The Maitre'd doesn't reply as he growls in annoyance and Jasmine calls out, in a serious tone, "Now, Silent Magician, destroy that overgrown tub of lard! Magical Blast!" Silent Magician LV8 fires a blast of magical energy at Bacchus, destroying it, and costing the Maitre'd 1600 life-points. Jasmine puts one card in the spell/trap slots and says, "I'll end with this."

Current Score:

Jasmine and Mindy: 1200

Maitre'd: 2400

Jaden exclaims, excitedly, "Awesome! Jasmine just turned this duel around!"

Yusuke says, in a plain tone, "She might have got a good move in, but it still depends if Mindy can follow up."

Mina says, in a confident tone, "I'm sure that Lady Mindy can do it!"

Mindy draws one card from her deck, puts the card in the spell/trap slots, and calls out, "Okay, I play my Dark Spell Regeneration! It sounds all nasty, but it is pretty nice card! It allows me to copy any spell card in our graveyards and use it for one turn! And I choose Jasmine's Pot of Greed! Now, I draw two more cards from my deck!" Mindy draws two more card from her deck, gives a sly smile when she sees them, puts one card in the spell/trap slots, and calls out, "And I playing one right now! I play my Ties to the Brethren! This card costs me and Jaz one grand, but it will be worth to give a jerk like you the reason why you don't mess with Obelisk Blue!" Mindy's and Jasmine's life-points drop by 1000 points, Mindy goes through her deck, takes out two cards, puts her deck back on her duel disk, and says, putting the two cards on her duel disk, "Now, I summon my Etoile Cyber and Blade Skater to the field!" Soon after, Etoile Cyber (A: 1200/D: 1600) and Blader Skater (A: 1400/D: 1500) come to the field in attack mode.

Hikari gasp in shock and she asks, perplexed, "When did they get our cards?"

Mindy puts one card in the spell/trap slots and shouts out, "Now, I play the second one! My Polymerization! I fuse my Etoile Cyber with my Blade Skater!" Soon after, the two monsters go into a fusion vortex, Mindy puts a fusion monster card from her fusion deck on her duel disk, and Mindy then calls out, "Now, I summon my Cyber Blader!" Out of the fusion vortex, Cyber Blader (2100/800) comes to the field in attack mode. Mindy then says, with a sly grin, "And with her, her special ability changes with the number of monsters that you have! And since you have two, her attack points are doubled!" Cyber Blader's stats increase from 2100/800 to 4200/800!

The Maitre'd yells out, shocked, "Sacre Bleu!"

Mindy exclaims, in a serious tone, "Save your French exclamations for this! Cyber Blader, end this duel with Whirlwind Rage!" Cyber Blader goes into a spin, destroys Wine Token, and the Maitre'd yells out in shock as he loses 3200 life-points in one shot, ending the duel immediately.

Final Score:

Jasmine and Mindy: 200

The Maitre'd: 0

When the duel ends, the final holograms fade away and the Maitre'd drops four GX medals onto the ground, as he holds a wine glass. He groans out, weakly, "Thank you for coming, Mademoiselles, but now, the kitchen is closed." He then collapses to the ground and drops the wine glass out of his hands.

Jasmine says, with a sly grin and an annoyed tone, "What a drama queen."

Kino exclaims, flabbergasted, "Hold on! They of all people on this island beat a Pro?!"

Hikari tells Kino, with a smile, "You had better believe it, Kino!"

Sakura calls out to them, happily, "Way to go!" Jasmine and Mindy to see, to their amazement, nearly all of their fellow hero and heroines friends in front of them with smiles on their lips.

Jasmine asks them, "You all saw?!"

Our heroes and heroines come up to their comrades and Mina tells them, "Yes, Lady Jasmine. You really did great out there."

Hikari asks Mindy, "But when did you get a Blade Skater, Etoile Cyber and Cyber Blader?"

Mindy tells Serena in reply, "Well, we just got them from some booster packs that we brought from Dorothy just a day before the tournament started and I added them to my deck. I told Jasmine about it and I put them in my deck because it allowed me to think of you and Alexis, Kari. You are the strongest of us girls on the island."

Hikari says, with a smile, "That's so sweet, Mindy."

Jasmine says, with a smile, "Personally, I can't believe that we beat a pro!"

Hassleberry tells Jasmine, "Well, you did! That was some great combat!"

Hikari tells Jasmine and Mindy, with a smile, "You showed that ass why he should never mess with you or the Obelisk Blue dorm!"

Mindy and Jasmine says in unison, "You know it, girlfriend!" On the meanwhile, what the group didn't notice is that Alexis, with a cold serious expression on her face, looks over the whole scene. She knew that Demon Jaden had something to do with this and doesn't know how, but she had a feeling. Plus, she was determined to know how.
