Fate's Hand

Bastion's P.o.V.

Chazz came back early the next morning, wearing all white. But that wasn't the only shocking part; he had carried Hoshi in, and she was unconscious.

"Chazz! We were beginning to think you disappeared, too! Are you alright?" Syrus asked. Chazz waved it off and Syrus continued, "You look different… Did you get a haircut… or a nose job or something?"

Hoshi's P.o.V.

I groggily sat up, and realized I was on a couch in Chazz's room. "She's awake!" Alexis exclaimed.

"Can I talk to her alone?" Chazz asked, or demanded, standing up. Bastion looked at him suspiciously, but left. "You can't tell anyone about last night." 'Huh? What happened last night?' As I voiced my thoughts, Chazz smirked. "Good." I watched silently as he walked out of the room, saying he'd be checking in on me soon.

A few hours later, I was still sitting in Chazz's room, since Alexis had been sure that I was sick or something. I could hear Chazz ranting about the Society Of Light as he stood on the roof and yelled down at the others.

"MODERN DUELING" popped up on the screen. I groaned, for it was the special on the top five young duelists. Myself, Zane, Aster, Jesse, and Carrie, another female duelist who used a deck like Alexis's. Nothing else was on, so, I watched the show that made me relive my worst memories.

Jaden's P.o.V.

As Jaden shouted to the sky, asking for a sign, something caught his eye. A falling star. "A shooting star? That's a great sign!" he exclaimed. "Now all I have to do is figure out what it means!" But the star looked like it was on fire, blazing through the sky. Blazing through the sky and straight towards Jaden. "I changed my mind! I don't want a sign!" he yelled as he tried to start up the boat. The star flashed, and a rainbow of colors spread through his vision.

Old rivals… Zane, Bastion, Chazz… Friends… Syrus, Alexis, Hassleberry… And the duelist who started it all. Aster Phoenix. Jaden yelped and covered his face as he went hurdling through the image. The maniacal laughter rang in his ears as he yelled and went crashing towards land.

Jaden slowly opened his eyes and found himself on a beach. "Guess I floated back to Academy Island." But when he looked at his surroundings, a giant planet was sitting in the ocean. "Uh… Or not? Breathe deep, Jay. This is all just a dream!" he assured himself. "Yeah… that's it! A super-realistic dream! Couldn't I have dreamed myself into a fast food joint, or something? Hold on… This whole thing can't be a dream! 'Cause to do that, I'd actually have to fall asleep!" Jaden thought for a moment, and then said, "Unless that shooting star did hit me, and now I've bit the dust!" A brief pause, and then… "Ah! Talk about your major bummers… " Jaden laid down on the sand and stared at the sky. "Okay, calm down. So this is the great beyond, huh? Oh great! Just perfect! I forgot my swimsuit! Well, they'd better have cable up here!" he shouted, tossing and turning from side to side like he was having a tantrum.

A dolphin squealed and someone said, "Don't you know that television rots your brain?" Jaden sat up and looked for the person who asked him that, but all he saw were dolphins.

"That's weird. There's nothing here but birds and dolphins." A dolphin head popped out of the water. "Hey, fish-brain, can you talk?"

"Of course. Does that surprise you?" it answered.

Jaden sighed and said, "Figures… I'm in dolphin heaven… "

"No, but not a bad guess," it replied, "for an ape, that is. And a particularly hairless primate, at that." The dolphin jumped out of the water, but what surprised Jaden most was that the dolphin had legs and arms, just like a human.

"A dolphin with legs? Wait, is that where fish sticks come from?" he asked. Then, he laughed and continued, "Fish sticks, don't you get it?"

"Yes… It just wasn't that funny." The dolphin smiled. "Now, I'm what you'd call a super-evolved Neospacian Aqua Dolphin." At Jaden's confused look, the dolphin said, "But you may call me Aquos."

Jaden sighed. "Alright… Afterlife, that I can handle. But alien dolphins… NO WAY!"

"At least WE take baths," Aquos retorted. "Now then, shall I tell you why you are here?"

"Sure, it can't get much worse… " Jaden complained.

"Jaden, the universe is in danger. For in all things there exists Neospace, a balance. Earth and air, light and darkness. Without one, the other cannot survive."

Jaden chose this moment to cut in, asking, "Like fries and ketchup?"

"Urgh… Like fries and ketchup. But now, the balance has tipped, and we need you." Aquos pointed to the Slifer Red student sitting in front of him.

"Who, me?" Jaden asked, confused.

"Yes, YOU."

"That's great, but this isn't really a good time. So, good luck with that," Jaden replied.

Aquos squatted in front of Jaden and continued, "Please, here me out. Jaden, there's an organization called the Society Of Light, and these humans are destroying the darkness, thus destroying the balance."

Jaden shrugged. "So what?"

"… So what… Jaden, look, did you understand what I said before?"

Jaden immediately replied, "Not really… There was something about French fries, but to be hones, the rest is all a blur! Oh, wait! There was something about ketchup, too, right?"

The dolphins squealed as a light flashed from the sky. "Well, it looks like they've found us."

"Wait, who did?"

"The Society Of Light. They must've sensed your power, Jaden, and they want it." The spaceship stopped flashing, but kept spinning. "Jaden, you alone can save our worlds, for you have a gift."

"Save the world? Been there, done that." Jaden smiled sheepishly. "I'm gonna have to take a rain check this time."

"If you fail to accomplish this mission, and they win… " Aquos paused, "then life… All life… will fade away."

An android was sent down, and Aquos tried to get Jaden to duel it. But Jaden protested that he still couldn't see his cards. But as he found another deck in a pile of space junk, the duel started. As soon as Jaden drew his first card, he realized that the cards he was using were the cards he designed when he was a little boy. Jaden soon battled against the android, which allowed him to remember the time he created the cards.

After only a few rounds of dueling, Jaden and his new found friends, Neos and Aquos, defeated the android and his monsters. Jaden was left with one message to give. "Tell your boss… that Jaden's back!" But soon, he collapsed, falling face-first into the sand.

As Jaden woke up, he asked himself if it was only a dream. But Jaden then came to terms with the fact that Aquos and Neos were now in his deck.

Review time!
