David sat in his new prison cell. He was ticked off by the duel.

Only if I used the ultimate card, damn, I could've had that brat.

He screamed and jerked the bars of his cage. The prisoners reacted to the sudden action from the new comer.

"Shut up, we're trying to sleep, punk!" one said.

"Yeah," another said, "Catch up on some sleep will you."

Several comments rang after that, some of them were death threats.

David sat on the floor of his cell and began to sob. He's been in here for only a week, and he thinks he's been to Hell. Putting him away only made his anger grow. He now wanted to kill the one that put him away…Ace.

David heard footsteps approaching his cell. Then he heard more, and more.

The three men from the incident with Gary came to David. The leader of the pack stepped forward.

"Do you really want to get out of this Hell Hole?" he asked.

"And who exactly are you?"

The leader laughed. "Don't tickle my funny bone with your remarks. I'm Reaper, this is Zakk," He said as the fairly skinny one took a step forward, "And lastly, this is Serpent." The deep voiced one came to the cell, and with a harsh whisper he said, "Hello"

"Now before I was rudely interrupted, I was gonna say that I can get you out of here. You can get your revenge on the two-faced duelist. For I know the secret to defeating the duelist."

David shot up to his feet with surprise, "Tell me," he demanded, "I must destroy him!"

"Well, to do that, you must get out of here, right?" Reaper snapped his fingers.

The Officer came to the cell and let David out. David looked at the guard; he looked dazed, like he was under a hypnosis spell. His eyes were a white color, and he said nothing. David waved his hand in front of his face, but he never reacted. David punched the man in the stomach, he never moved once. Then David kicked him where it really hurts: the groin. But again, he never moved.

"I put him under a brain eater spell, in about five minutes he will fall, but back to business, now that you are out, you must swear to serve the darkness. Or you will end like him." Reaper pointed at the still dazed guard that now had drool dripping from his mouth.

"Fine, I'll join your stupid alliance." David said.

They then teleported to the same place that Gary was taken. As they left the scene, the guard came too, and fell out on the concrete floor. He died twice. Once from the Brain Eater spell, then as he fell, he slammed his head on the floor with a sickening thud. Death was instantaneous.

David looked at the portal in disbelief. "What the hell is…" he turned to face Reaper, but got a kick as a response to the unfinished question. With a loud scream, he was gone.

"50% complete." Reaper said, and with that, the vanished to find a new victim.

Meanwhile, at the Academy, Jake and the gang sat in the classroom the next morning. Jake had a large bandage on his nose. His nose was broken while he and Ace were dealing with David. Jake dwelled on the event. There was an acquired silence amongst the gang. No one said anything. Ace suddenly looked over to the right of him and waved to someone. The female waved back in a flirty way.

"Okay," Nate said, "When are you and Carla gonna kiss?"

Ace shot him a look. "When we plan to."

"But it's been a week."

"What we do is none of your concerns."

"Well," Jake said, "I'm a little curious too, when are you guys gonna kiss?"

"At a point that is none of your business!" Ace yelled with great frustration. "How about you guys get a girlfriend? Then ask me."

The three students, along with the rest of the class, chatted amongst themselves.

Mr. Griffin walked in with a golden box that had the famous Eye symbol on it. Jake sat up in his seat, stunned to see the box once again.

Ace squinted at the box. "Isn't that on the Golden Sarcophagus spell card?"

Jake said nothing. He stared blankly at the box.

"Dude," Ace said now concern, "what's the matter, sick?"

Jake was breathing heavily. "T-That's the box…the…the…"

"Spit it out man!" Ace yelled.

"THAT'S THE BOX THE MILLENNIUM PUZZLE WAS IN!"

The whole class looked at Jake as if he was crazy. Mr. Griffin was the most shocked. He had a sudden look of sadness on his face.

" But Jake," Ace said with caution, but still in a calmly voice, " When your dad dueled the Pharaoh and won, the Millennium Puzzle, Ring, Eye, everything was destroyed, alone with the Tablet of Lost Memories."

"That's not gonna cut it." Jake turned to Mr. Griffin. "Open the box."

"Jake this is not…" Mr. Griffin tried to explain, but Jake wasn't going to have it.

"OPEN THE BOX!"

Mr. Griffin opens the golden box. The class held their breathes, anticipating the next event. He showed the box to the class. The Puzzle was broken into pieces that weren't put together. Jake's jaw dropped.

"How did you get that? Tell me, tell me now!" He banged his fist on the desk.

Mr. Griffin sighed. "Before I became a teacher, I was an archeologist in Egypt, looking for proof that Isis really existed. I secretly climbed in the Ziggurat, which is a pyramid like structure, but it never had a tomb in it. It was a way for the Egyptians, to worship their gods. They put everything up there, food, gems you name it. Then when I got to the top, there, a man, that had close resemblance to the young Duelist known as Yugi, came to me and took my hand with tears in his eyes."

The Pharaoh…Jake said to himself. He was the one who save my great grandpa.

Mr. G. went on with the story.

"He said that his name was Atem, and his 'partner' was killed trying to reach the puzzle. He gave me this box and said, 'give it to the son of my partner, Yugi."

"That's impossible," Jake said he now had that sob look on his face, "When the items were sent to the bottom of the Earth, the Gate to the After Life closed forever."

"That I cannot explain, but after the experience, I gave up being a archeologist to find the Chosen One…you Jake Gardner."

The class gasped. Turning to the son of the legendry son of Yugi. Questions rang from left to right.

"You're the son of Yugi?"

"You're the chosen one?"

Nate then asked, "Maybe this is linked to your dream."

Visions of the dream flashed in his head.

A large blue dragon with four pink wings came to him. Thinking the monster was going to blast him, Jake ran as fast as he could. "Wait Chosen One," the monster said in a woman's voice. Jake turn to face the creature, but what he finds instead, is the dragon being consumed by seven large monster.

Jake's eyes rolled to the back of his head, he was shaking rapidly. The voices of his friends were being drowned out.

"Someone call 911!" he sort of heard Carla's voice say. The next thing he knew he was passed out. But for some reason, Nate, Ace, and Carla suddenly pass out as well…

THREE HOURS LATER

Jake woke up at the school's nurse's office. He rubbed his head and groaned a sign that he had came back from his unpleasant slumber. He turned to find three other kids lying on cots. The person next to him was Carla, then Ace, then Nate.

What is going on here? He asked himself once again. Why did they fall out?

Just as he said that inner thought, Ace sat up. He adjusted himself to the Indian way of sitting. He was rubbing his eyes, and then looked around in confusion. Then his sweetheart sat up, stretching. Followed by Nate.

"What are y'all doing here?" Jake asked.

"We don't even know ourselves." Carla responded.

Jake look at his black watch. 12:24.

"No way, we're late for lunch, big time."

"Well then let's go," Carla said jumping from the cot.

The rest followed, Carla and the gang left the room. Little do the know that time had froze, and the nurse was stuck in place, she said nothing, just sat there.

Jake and the friends entered the lunchroom laughing at something that was random, and froze in place, just like the rest of the students, but the students were really frozen. Jake and his friends froze with fear. Jake walked up to a nearby student, and waved his hand in his face, unaware, that that is what David did at the prison with the guard. Nate took notice of the clock that said 10:32. The hands of the clock stayed still.

"Jake," Nate said, "What time was it again?"

"12:28 now."

"Well, according to this clock, it's 10:32, and it's staying there."

"Baby, I'm scared," Carla said throwing herself against Ace. Ace held her tight, a sign that he will protect her.

"Dude, we have to find out what's going on here." Ace said.

"We froze time," a familiar voice said startling the kids.

From the air came three people in robes. Two were male, but one of them was a…female? The robes they had on, had an image of the Crimson Dragon on the back.

"No way," Jake said walking to the people. "You're Yusei Fudo!"

The Duelist of the streets pulled back his hood to reveal himself. Everything was the same, except he had noticeable facial hair.

"Then you must be Jack Atlas! And Akiza Izinski!"

The last of the two mystery people, revealed themselves. Jake had facial hair in a goatee form, and Akiza's hair was straightened.

"Why are you here?" Jake asked, "You want a duel?"

"No thanks," Yusei said, "Our only job is to guide you."

"For what?" Carla asked.

"The Earthbound Immortals."

The kids froze with fear again.

"I thought you kicked their asses?"

"Somehow, someone resurrected the wicked monsters, and it now threatens to wipe out the Earth." Akiza said.

"We need to build up a team of duelist to counter back at the plot to rule the world." Jack said.

"We will help you do that, but first the last two signers, Luna and Crow, separated from us, and we need your help to search this island them."

"I'll help." said Carla.

The rest nodded with agreement.

"Wait," Nate said, "Why us, but not other duelist?"

"These were the wishes under Atem's request." Yusei answered.

Jake stopped. "You mean the Pharaoh of Egypt."

"Yes."

Now I have to do this… for my dad.

"But," Jack said suddenly, catching the attention of the kids once again, "it's not only the Earthbound Immortals, the Egyptian Gods and the Millennium Items are involved."

"Okay," Jake said, "so we really have to start paying attention in Mr. Griffin's class from now on."

"Atem wanted me to give you something," Yusei said as he reached into his back pocket. He pulled out two cards. "You will need then when the time is right."

Jake noted to himself to put the cards in his special box of Yugi's cards.

"Now enjoy you lunch."

The three vanished, and time went forward again. Jake looked at his watch, 10:32

"Well, let's not stand here," Ace said, "Let's eat."

The four got there lunches, and sat in the same place, but with Carla as a new addition. Then Alison came again. She looked lonely. She sat in an empty seat near Nate, who scooted over a seat. Jake shot him a look and turned to Alison.

"Are you okay?"

"No, I can't find Gary anywhere, like as if he just vanished."

Jake took this seriously. "I find it strange, that there are people are either vanishing, or doing terrible thing to each other."

"I agree," said Carla.

"Jake," Alison said, "Your really connecting to the feelings to another person…like they're your friend…"

"Aww here we go again," Nate said, "This is how she pulls everyone, don't fall for it Jake."

But just as Nate said that another girl came to Jake. She was very hot. She was also an enemy of Alison.

"Hey, cutie." she flirted.

Nate rolled his eyes. "What is this, Battle of the Sluts?"

Alison stood up with anger. "What the hell do you think you doing flirting with my boyfriend skank!"

Everyone stared at her in shock. "BOYFRIEND?" they said in unison.

"Bitch, last I recall, Gary was your bf, right? So step out my face before your taste my boot."

Alison took the bowl of Ramen Nate was eating, and put it in mistress's face.

"I was still eating that," he said.

"Take that as a warning, Debra."

The now labeled as Debra, took the milk she had took with her and threw it at Alison. Stunned, she flew over the table, and punched Debra in the face. After that was sheer chaos. It was two bulls locked in hair pulling match. Alison was getting all the good shots. She had a fistful of Debra's red hair, and was upper cutting her in the face. She dragged her prey to the floor and got a couple good shots in. Alison stood Debra up and pushed her away from her. Debra fell to the floor, mouth bleeding and hair soaked with Ramen. Alison was soaked with milk, but she didn't care, as long as she trashed Debra, she was okay.

"Bitch, don't think you run this," Alison spitted on Debra, the ultimate sign of disrespect.

Dr. Crowler came to the scene. "Fighting in banned in this school," he said with a frown, "so you will have a duel to see how will be expelled. So clean up and meet in the Obelisk Arena."

"Alison, are you okay?" Jake asked.

"I'm fine. Go to the Arena, I'll win not to stay on this island, but for you. This slut obviously want you too, but she's not gonna get you."

Jake and his friends met in the place where many great duels took place. Jaden and Aster. Jaden and Syrus vs. the Paradox Bothers. Jaden and Zane. This place is the starting ground of many famous duels. But another one is about to take place. The Duel of Expulsion. On the far left was Debra, and on the right was Alison.

The duelists put their decks in the duel disks. The duel began.

Alison drew first.

"I summon the Harpie Queen in attack mode."

To the field came a Harpie with white wings, green hair, talons, and a blue, tight clothing. She had a beautiful face that had anger written all over it. (1900/1200)

"To end the turn I'll place one card face down."

Debra drew her new card. A evil grin revealed itself on her face.

"I activate the field spell Future Visions!"

The academy a round female duelist vanished in a swirl-like fashion. There was nothing left but a swirling field.

"With this spell card, whenever we normal summon a monster, that monster is removed from the game until the next standby phase of the controller of the monster."

Alison stared in confusion. "Why in the world would you do that? Unless she has…"

"I summon Fortune Lady Light in attack mode!"

After Debra slammed the card on the disk, a woman in yellow and black, with blonde hair, bat wings on her head, appeared to the field waving her scepter at the human-bird hybrid.(?/?)- (200/200)

"Now my spell card comes in…"

The woman was sealed in a glass case that floated somewhere else.

"Now for Lady Light's effect, when she is removed from the game due to a card effect, like Future Visions, I can special summon another Fortune Lady. So I summon Fortune Lady Fire in attack mode."

In a burst of red light, another woman, very similar to the last one appeared. This one, however, was red, and was angry. She screamed in frustration and a ball of fire from her scepter at the Queen. She screams in pain before exploding into pixels.

"What the heck happened to my Queen?" Alison screamed in horror.

"Oh, Lady Fire's ability reads: 'When this card is Special Summoned in attack mode by the effect of a Fortune Lady, I can destroy one monster on your side of the field and inflict damage to you equal to the attack points of the monster that was destroyed. And she gets 200 attack/defense points equal to the level of this card. Her level increases for each of my standby phases that go by. This goes for all Fortune Ladies."

The fire lady cackled as she rose in power. (?/?)- (400/400)

Alison felt a burning sensation in her body. She hugged herself as she fell to 6100 life points.

"Don't think it stops there, because I'll have Lady Fire attack you directly."

The woman of fire shot another ball of red light that was heading for its target.

"Not so fast, Magic Cylinder activates!"

The two cups appeared and switched the target to Debra, who cried out in pain as she fell to 7600 life points.

"Fine," Debra said slipping a card in her duel disk, "I'll place one card face down, your move."

"Then I draw," Alison said drawing a card.

"Perfect, I summon Harpie Lady 1 in attack mode."

The prized monster of Mai Valentine came to the field. She showed her sharp talons in a threatening way. (1300/1400)- (1600/1400)

She was sealed in the spell of the Future Visions, and was carried away. But suddenly, there was a flow of wind that was in the Academy. The swirling of the Field Spell was gone. The field was almost back to the way it was.

"NO… she replaced my field spell with Rising Air Current!"

"That's right, and now all wind monsters gain 500 attack points, but lower their defense points by 400."

The Harpie broke free from the crystallized prison, and soared through the air, free from fear.(1600/1400)-(2100/1000)

The Lady Light appeared too on Debra's side of the field. (?/?)- (200/200)

"Next I play the spell card Quick Trap the use the Hysteric Party, I discard a card," she said doing so, "I can summon all Harpie Ladies in my graveyard."

The Harpie Queen and Cyber Harpie Lady appeared to the field and soared in the air with the ally.(1900/1200)-(2700/800) & (1800/1300)-(2600/900)

The sexy and deadly trio soared over their prey, read to strike at any time.

"Alright my Queen, attack the Lady Fire."

The queen soared down and pointed her talons out ready to sink them into the red woman…

"Activate facedown card, Slip of Fortune!"

The Lady Fire was sucked into a portal before the Haprie's talon could reach her.

"Thanks to this Trap Card, I can negate your attack and remove the attack target."

"Fine then, Harpie Lady 1 attacks the human light bulb!"

The monster flew down and gripped the lady with her talons and threw her in the air. Then, in midair, she stabbed her claws in the Fortune Lady. She screamed in pain, and then exploded. Debra growled as she fell to 5700 points.

"Now Cyber Harpie, your turn."

The Harpie trio gave her final attack and smacked Debra in the face with the Electro Whip. She held her face in pain as she fell to 3100 life points.

"Your move."

Debra drew her card with a sign of weakness. She looked at it and smiled evilly. Alison caught the grin fit for a madman, and grew scared.

"I play the Fortune Lady Wind in attack mode."

A woman with green hair, black wings on her head and a green staff came to the field. (?/?)- (900/900)

"Now, with this Fortune Lady, she gains 300 attack points for her levels."

"Okay, your point," Alison said putting her hands on her hips, "your monster is still lower than my monsters."

"Or so you think."

Jake watched and observed the duel closely. He knew what would happen next.

"Alison is in trouble." he said.

"How?" Carla asked, "Alison's monsters are way stronger than Debra's, she'll lose."

"But the Lady Wind's effect allows Debra to take out one of Alison's spell or trap cards equal to the number of Fortune Lady Monster she has on the field."

Carla gasped. "Alison's Hysteric Party!"

"Precisely."

Their attention was now turned back to the duel.

"Now for my Lady Wind's ability: take out her trap card!"

The trap burst into pixels along with the Queen and Cyber Harpie Lady.

Damn!

Then a portal opened. The Fortune Lady Fire came to the field with rage. (?/?)- (200/200)

"Now Wind's effect kicks in, take out her field spell."

The strong winds died down. The flying Harpie stopped in midair, and fell to the ground. She held her back side in pain as her attack points dropped.(2100/1000)-(1600/1400)

"Now I give up my Lady Fire for Lady Earth!"

The woman burst into dust. Then another Fortune Lady came to the field. She had wings on her head, a brown dress that showed her purple legs with black heels. She had on thick glasses, just like the former Fortune Lady user…Carly. (?/?)- (2400/2400)

"With this Lady, she gains 400 points for her level. And whenever she gains a level you lose 400 life points. Now attack that Harpie bitch with Earthly Spark!"

The spell caster charged up a basketball sized ball of orange energy, and shot it at the Harpie. She was knocked in the air as she exploded into feathers. Alison could only watch the feathers of what was once float to the floor as she fell to 5300 points.

"Now Fortune Lady Wind, hit that bitch with Windy Spark!"

The spell caster charged up a basketball sized ball of green energy, and shot it at Alison. She flew back a good distance. She watches on the floor as her life points fall lower to 4400 points.

"Your move. In about two turns, I'm gonna watch as your leave and the look on you face as I smooch with your man."

Alison drew her card.

"Sweet, I play the Pot of Greed"

The ugly pot appeared, and exploded when Alison drew her two cards.

"Yes!" She screamed with delight, "I summon Sonic Shooter in attack mode!"

A man that had a structure like a Harpie Lady came to the field. He had on a helmet that was like the Greek God Hermes with the wings on each side. (1300/600)

"Shooter can attack you directly when you have no spell or trap cards on the field."

The man flew with blinding speed across the field and kicked Debra in the chest. She went down lower to 1800 points.

Debra winced. "Ow…my boob."

The pain upon Debra amused the monster as he was surrounded by a yellow aura.(1300/600)-(2600/600)

"Oh," Alison said, "forgot to mention that when he does attack you, he gains the damage you took."

Debra growled "You little…"

"Now for the final card." Alison said taking the last card from her hand and slipping it in her disk. "I play the spell card Horn of the Unicorn."

The winged beast cried out as a horn grew from his head. Then he had a sudden look of seriousness on his face.(2600/600)-(3300/1300)

"Now my friend," Alison said pointing at the Lady Wind, "Show her why I'm the queen of the Ra section."

The beast flew forward and slashed the Lady. Debra cried out as she was wiped out. Her life points stood at 0.

The Duel Room was filled with cheers from everyone (But Nate.) as she waved her hand around the room. She blows a kiss at Jake her blushed. Her attention was then turned to Debra. The room went silent.

"Now pack your stuff and get the hell out of my domain trick-a-treat."

The audience ohhed as Debra walked off the stage and out the room.

There was a sudden voice that rang in Jake's head. He said that was a interesting duel.

Jake turned around to see who was talking to him. But it was no one.

I could've sworn I heard someone.

You did, the voice said, on your head.

Jake instantly recognized the voice: Atem!

The one and only…he said.

What are you doing here, aren't supposed to be in the After Life?

Yes, that is why I'm here. Go to Mr. Griffin for the Puzzle.

But wait, I thought only my dad could solve the Puzzle?

You're his son, with you anything is possible.

I guess.

Now go get the Puzzle…Partner.

"Hey guys," Jake said to his friends, "I'll be right back, okay?"

"Sure," Ace said, "But come back quickly, and meets your girlfriend."

Jake was unaware that Atem had manifested himself to his original form to get a quick glance at his friends. When he saw enough, he vanished.

Jake made his way to Mr. Griffin's classroom.

Jake… Atem called, your friends are close to Yugi's friends.

What do you mean?

Your first friend, Ace, is just like Joey Wheeler. Carla, is like your mother, Tea Gardner, and Nathaniel, is like Tristian. And you are Yugi.

So are you saying…? Jake said to Atem as he entered the classroom, we're the next Generation.

Yes! I am.

"Jake," Mr. Griffin said, "What are you doing here?"

Jake stared at Mr. Griffin, "To get the Puzzle."
