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

Mr. Griffin sighed. "Atem told me to do this."

"To do what?" Jake asked growing more agitated.

Jake said Atem, Mr. Griffin is going to test you. I told him to do so at the Ziggurat. Don't be alarmed.

"Jake, Atem told me to…"

"Save your words Let's Duel"

Mr. Griffin handed Jake a Duel Disk. Jake slipped His deck in as Mr. Griffin said, "This is the deck of Yugi & Atem, if you fail to win, and you are unworthy of the Puzzle. Win however; you get the deck, and the Puzzle. Agree?"

Jake nodded.

"Fine then, you start."

"Alright," Jake said drawing a card.

"I'll start with Kaiser Sea Horse in attack mode."

The water creature came to the field giving a screech while waving his trident in the air. (1700/1650)

"Two cards facedown will end my turn."

"And begin mine," Mr. Griffin said drawing his sixth card.

"To begin this turn I'll summon Beaver Warrior in attack mode."

The armed rodent from Duelist Kingdom came to the field. He stared at Jake with a noble look. (1200/1500)

"Next I equip him with the Horn of the Unicorn spell card."

The horn appeared of the beast's forehead. The rodent crackled with energy as it gained attack points.(1200/1500)-(1900/2200)

"Now attack the Sea Horse!"

The Warrior shot a blot of lightning at the monster…

"Draining Shield activates!"

Jake and his monster was safe from the blast be hind a hollow shield. Jake sighed in relief as his life points rose to 9900.

"Fine, one card facedown will end the turn."

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

"I activate the spell card Trade-In."

The man appeared again. Jake gave him the card, and the man gave him the bag of coins. They transformed into the top cards on his deck. Jake looked at them, then smiled.

"I give up the Sea Horse to summon the Felgrand Dragon!"

The Sea Horse turned into two. They burst into pixels to formed the golden dragon. It oared at the little critter, who froze with fear.(2800/2800)

"I play the spell Giant Trunade to rid the field of all spells and traps"

Both Jake's and Mr. Griffin's face down card quivered, and exploded. The pixels of the card came together in the hands of the owner. The horn on the beaver exploded. He fell to 1200 attack points.

"Felgrand Dragon attack!"

The dragon inhaled, and shot a ball of light that hit the beaver. He screamed in pain then exploded. Mr. Griffin blocked the flying pixels as he dipped to 6400.

"Your move."

"Alright," he said drawing a card.

"I summon the Celtic Guardian in attack mode."

The Elf monster that has been with Yugi all through his life came to the field. He stared down the dragon.(1400/1200)

"Next I activate Double Summon to summon Versago the Destroyer."

After the immense bolt of lightning, a dark being that had green bandages four purple arms and half a body with no legs came to the field. It suddenly took the form of the Flame Swordsman. (1100/900)

"Now I play the spell card Dark Magic Curtain."

A curtain with a Skeleton on top appeared in front in Mr. Griffin.

If I pay half my life points." He said falling to 3200, "I can special summon the Dark Magician in attack mode."

There was a flash that came from the curtains. The legendary monster that has taken out Kaiba, and almost Jaden, was now staring Jake in the face… the Dark Magician has come again. (2500/2100)

"Lastly I play the last card in my hand…" Mr. Griffin turned over the card, "Polymerization!"

The Dark Magician and Versago leapt in a portal that swirled. When it stopped, the monster that contributed to taking out the Five-Headed Dragon landed from the portal, down to the field. He pointed his sword at Jake.(2200/800)

"Your turn Jake."

"Fine. I draw." Jake said drawing a card.

"I know the effect if the Dark Flare Knight. So I'll summon Snipe Hunter."

The small creature was criticized before came to the field with a smile on his face.(1500/600)

"I discard one card, to use his effect on the Dark Flare Knight. So go Snipe Hunter."

The small fiend pointed the gun at the monster as it began to spin.

Come on! Give me anything but a 1 or 6, PLEASE!

The gun came to a stop, landing on a blue six.

"Damn!" he said to himself, "Fine, Felgrand Dragon attack the Guardian."

The dragon shot a ball of light that silently destroyed the elf warrior. He never screamed in pain or grunted as he was blown apart. Mr. Griffin could only stare as the pixels blew in his face. His life points standing at 1800.

"One card face down will end the turn." Jake said as a facedown card appeared behind the Snipe Hunter.

"I draw then." Mr. Griffin said drawing.

"I'll play Card of Sanctity."

Both players drew a full hand of six cards.

"Now I play Card Destruction."

They discarded their hands and drew the same amount of cards they had before.

" Now I play Monster Reborn to summon from the graveyard the Dark Magician."

The famous spell caster appeared to the field once again.(2500/2100)

" Now I play the Spell card Thousand Knives."

The herd of knives appeared around the Magician…

"You thought your were gonna play that card," Jake laughed as his face down card revealed itself, "I activate Dust Tornado."

A large dust storm came out of the card. It scattered the knives and reduced then to nothing but pixels.

" Very good Jake," Mr. Griffin complimented, " But I wanted you to do that, I wanted to see what that face down was. So I set up a decoy. I did that so I can activate the real card I intended on playing…"

He then slipped a card in his duel disk.

"… I play the spell card Knight's Title."

The Magician was swallowed by a bright light.

" With this card I can give up the Magician," he said as a Knight that had on armor that show resemblance to the armor of the Dark Magician came from the light that has consumed his first form(2500/2100)

"For the Dark Magician Knight!"

" No way," Jake said to himself, " it's him."

" Now for his effect, when he is summoned successfully, I can rid the field of one your monsters. So take out the Felgrand Dragon."

The Knight flew in the air and sliced the dragon right on its long neck. It burst into pixels as the Knight jumped back to Mr. Griffin's side of the field.

" Flare Knight, you attack the Sniper!"

The Knight ran full speed and attacked the small fiend. He gave a cute and small screech in pain then exploded. Jake growled as he fell to 9200 points.

" Now Dark Magician Knight attack him directly!"

The Knight levitated, and flew towards Jake. Jake braced himself. The Knight took a swing at Jake. He held his chest in pain while he fell to 6700.

" Your move Jake."

" I think I no that." Jake drew his card.

Okay, this could work.

" I'll summon Fire Ant Ascator in attack mode."

A ant that was dark red with orange eyes appeared on the field.(700/1300)

Mr. Griffin looked at the insect, shocked to see that Jake had a tuner monster.

" Now I play the spell card Cost Down. You already know what it does," Jake discarded a card, "so play Double Summon to bring out Oracle of the Sun."

After Jake said that, there was no lightning only the sinning of the Sun as a monster that looked like a Native American floated onto the field. As he landed on the field, the light from the Sun faded away.(1000/2000)

Suddenly something happened. The Cost Down card exploded, and the Native American went back to its original level 5.

" Unfortunately for you, that card I sent to the graveyard was the Ash Dragon. And when he is sent from the hand to the graveyard, I can destroy one card on the field. I picked the Cost Down card, therefore all my monsters go back to their real levels. And you know what that means."

Mr. Griffin nodded.

" Okay then, I tune the Fire Ant and Oracle of the Sun, to Synchro Summon…"

Ace looked around for Jake.

" Hey guys, did any of you see Jake come back?"

They shook their heads.

Alison was now approaching the gang.

" Where's my boyfriend.?" she asked.

" That's what he are trying to figure out." Nate said.

" I know where he went." Carla said bowing her head, " and what's going on there is not good."

" What is it babe?" Ace said as everyone's attention was turned to her.

" He's in Mr. Griffin's class, dueling him for the Puzzle."

Back in Mr. Griffin's class, Atem was hit with a great amount of psychic energy. It caused great pain in him.

Someone is using an unknown psychic energy to locate Jake. Who is it?

" How do you know?" Alison asked.

" I don't know," Carla said, " but we have to find him, before he gets hurt."

" Then let's go," Nate said as the rest followed him in a pursuit for the Dragon duelist.

In Mr. Griffin's class the three levels of the Fire Ant formed into rings. The Native American jumped into the rings and turned into five blue stars. After a bright light, a Sun with four red dragon heads around it.(3000/2800)

The monster let out a loud roar that was heard by his friends.

" There," Carla said as she pointed at the dragon.

" You were right," Nate said staring at her as if she were weird.

Ace stared at the monster.

" No way…he has the…Sun Dragon Inti."

" Now Inti, attack the Dark Flare Knight!"

The Dragon shot out four yellow beams of light that hit Knight, causing him to explode. Mr. Griffin smiled as his life points fell to 1000 points.

" Jake's dueling Mr. G… while he has Yugi's cards? But Jake has them." Ace whispered to Nate.

" That's what I'm dueling for," Jake said, as if Ace was talking to him, " But not only that, I'm doing this for the Puzzle."

I knew it. Carla thought.

" Your turn Teach."

Mr. Griffin drew his card silently.

" Sorry Jake," Mr. Griffin said as he flipped the new card around, the Mirage Knight, " But when you destroyed the Flare Knight, you allowed me to summon the Mirage Knight."

The knight in shinning gold armor appeared on the field twirling his gold scythe.(2800/2000)

" And when he attacks a monster, he gain the attack points of the monster. So attack the Sun Dragon Inti!"

The attack points of the warrior shot up to 5800. He sliced the dragon. It roared in pain and died with a massive explosion. The heat from the explosion was too much for the warrior, he burst into pixels. The heat reached Mr. Griffin. He was burned and was sent straight down to 0 life points.

" What? How come I lost?"

Before Jake could explain, Ace said, " I can explain that, when you destroy Inti by battle, the attacking monster is destroyed, and you lose life points equal to half the monster's attack points."

" Meaning that you took the bait just like I did." Jake finished.

Good job Jake! Atem said.

Mr. Griffin walked back to his desk and pulled out the Golden box. Jake took it along with the deck.

" Thanks, now I have to put this together. Jake and his friends left the classroom.
