Hey sorry about the long silence! I have been busy; holidays, job searching and...well, you don't need to know the last part as its personal. So here's the next chapter.

Disclaimer: I do not own Yugioh GX or Transformers. Hasbro and Tokyo TV owns them. I just like to play in their sandbox.

Jason snarled silently as he took his seat in Crowler's class. The row he sat at was, once again, devoid of any other students since none dared to anger the Con or even be near him for that matter. He had put it all together so perfectly and executed it so perfectly: use the Halloween party as a means to give his twin back some happiness and get him back with Rhodes. But as usual, his plans failed in the first meeting with the enemy. Alexis had been most difficult in the end and now, Jason was forced to take more drastic measures.

"Settle down, all of you! Today we will be going over spells, traps, and their uses!" Crowler's screechy voice broke the Leader's train of thought.

He turned his attention to the confused teacher and cricked his neck once. Another boring lecture today he mused to himself in his mind. He grinned at the opportunity that was going to be given to him. he was going to enjoy taunting the fool who thought he could teach.

"There are six types of spells. They are Normal, Field, Equip, Continuous, Ritual and Quick-play." Alexis Rhodes said with pride in her voice.

Dr. Crowler, having been informed of her 'association' to Jaden, smiled gleefully as he clapped his hands together at the answer his prized 'queen' gave him. Denying the brother of Jason brought a lot of joy to his heart.

"A most excellent answer! Now…who's my next Vic-I mean, volunteer?" Crowler said as he scanned the crowd.

He knew better then to choose Jaden or Jason; the two of them would embarrass him again and in his own class! No, no, no, he couldn't have that. So he settled on the tiny blue-haired kid.

"You there Slifer," Crowler said pointing to Syrus who gulped. "Tell the class what a field spell card does!"

The boy grimaced as he stood up stammering. After failing to give an answer, Crowler laughed mockingly.

"Well, that just goes to show that you don't belong here Slifer Slacker! Even a pre-academy student would know the answer to that question!"

The comment made everyone laugh at the poor reds, but it instantly quieted when a sixth sense went off at the chill of death lingering in the air. They all turned up to Jason who was sitting calmly in his seat, but those who were part of the Séance club could see the vile aura rolling off him or could claim they saw it at any point..

"If that was the case Crowler," Jason said smoothly, no hint of emotion in his voice. "Then you yourself are a slacker. After all, you fell to my brother, Jaden and then fell to me in the dueling ring. And don't forget that I was a Slifer Red if for only a brief time. Don't spout off that you have a PhD in dueling. The university only gave you that so they wouldn't have to see your face for another four years."

The silence that swallowed the class was deafening. Many of the students were caught between horror and amusement. The blues, on the other hand, were sporting glares, but they backed down after Jason's glare hit them. Crowler's face was a shade of puce that made him look uglier.

"MISTER YUKI!" He shouted only for Jason to interrupt.

"I'm Jason, Mister Yuki was my father dipshit."

Crowler's face got even redder and steam started to come out of his ears.

"ARE YOU MOCKING ME?!" Crowler all but screamed.

Jason's smirk was predatory to say the least and the only answer he gave as the bell rang and the leader left.

Later – Crowler's Lair of doom aka office

Crowler could barely restrain his anger and he had told the chancellor of the incident. Sheppard had sighed and told Crowler to suck it up; he had signed a contract in blood so Jason was safe from Crowler's wrath. That was until he had gotten an idea, an awful idea, but in his mind, a great idea.

He had just finished putting the letter together and applied some lipstick to his mouth.

"Ohohohoho, Vellian, you certainly came up with a grand plan this time! And now," Crowler chortled as he applied lipstick to his lips and kissed the envelope he had sealed the letter into. "The big kiss-off!"

The good doctor giggled madly as he left his office.

GXP

Crowler smirked as he weaved to and fro in the hall to the gyms. Many of the students saw him, but were quickly deterred from asking what he was doing in fear of detention. So they ignored the truly mad Doc and went on to their classes.

Crowler ignored them as well and soon came to the Locker Rooms. Jason and Jaden were both in Gym right at the moment. He snuck over and opened up the first locker he saw. His eyes went wide before he slammed it shut in a hurry.

"I did not see that, I did not see that, I did not see that." Crowler repeated over and over as he left the damning locker.

He continued to search around for over forty-five minutes before he found what he was looking for. The locker for Jason. How'd he know? The image of the Decepticons on the outside was the dead ringer.

Crowler chortled as he placed the letter down. Once he closed the door, he skipped away, happy as a , he missed the owner of the said locker lurking in the shadows seeing the action, and recording it.

"Nice try Crowler. But you can't outcon a Con." Jason mumbled slightly as he went over and retrieved the letter.

He opened it, read over it, and chuckled. The good doctor had helped him in his pursuit to get petty revenge on the former leader. Jason smiled as his own plan came into form. He left the locker room to see a certain obelisk queen.

GXP

Alexis sighed as she drank her smoothie she had gotten from Dorothy. The Halloween party was a big hit naturally but she was feeling bad about lying to Jaden. It hurt so bad that she nearly went after him to tell him differently. But fear had managed to stay her hand and it was overriding her rational reasoning. She was about to leave the table and then the card shop, but a cold voice stopped her.

"Rhodes."

Oh shit no! She swore in her mind before she looked over her shoulder. She cringed at seeing the visage Jason was giving off, the purple eye of his actually seemed to be alight with rage.

"You are making things difficult, Elita." Jason stated as he sat down in front of her.

Alexis glared at the former leader with the name he used.

"Stop using that name, Jason! The war is done with, we won!" She snapped making a few students look their way.

Jason snorted as he leaned back.

"Is it? You know as well as I do, Evil always finds a way." Jason stated simply.

That made Alexis cringe. That horrible saying, but the sad truth was, he was right. There were still escaped cult members somewhere in the cities that they and police had never caught, just waiting for the right leader. She sighed as she leaned back dreading the conversation.

"What do you want, Jason?"

The former leader chuckled putting her on edge.

"Simple. I want you to get back with Prime."

Alexis stared at Jason, looking displeased that he wasn't going to let this go.

"No. I'm not getting back with Jaden...not yet. It's not the right time."

Jason sighed as he pulled out a envelope with a lipstick smear on it. Alexis looked at it as she took another sip of her smoothie as Jason spoke.

"It'll never be the right time for you, Rhodes. What I have here is a love letter with your name, handwriting, and lip gloss on it. If you do not duel me with my stakes, this goes right into Chazz Princeton's locker."

Alexis choked on her smoothie as the scene of Chazz finding the letter played through her mind. Chazz was one of her more...diehard fan-boys and seeing her in the Slave Leia costume made him shot to the top spot of her hate list right up there with Mindy and Jasmine. If he got a hold of that letter...

Alexis gave out a whimpering sigh and looked at Jason.

"You're a monster."

Jason just grinned.

"Thanks for finally noticing. Duel arena 1 in fifteen minutes." Jason stated coolly before he got up and left.

Once he was out of range, she started cursing and sobbing.

GXP

Jason smiled as he left the cafe/shop, his PDA out and typing in a text message to his brother to meet him at Duel Arena one. Time for the plan to come together. He pocketed the device and headed for the arena, his blood boiling at the prospect of the duel.

GXP

Jaden was chatting with Syrus and Chumley about the upcoming mid-semester exam. The exam was held at the end of the third month and dealt with a written and practical exam. It was a chance for students to advance in rank if they did well. Syrus was already freaking and Chumley was down in the dumps about it. Jaden shook his head before speaking.

"Come on you guys, as long as we keep our study groups up, we'll be alright!" Jaden said joyously making the two look at him, both looking slightly better.

Until Jaden's PDA went off. The boy flipped it open and saw a brief message on the screen. He scowled making the other two boys look at him in fright.

"Jay, what's up?" Syrus asked.

Jaden got up and headed for the door.

"My brother." Was the simple answer as the Blue left.

GXP

Jason grinned as he saw Alexis with her duo of friends behind her. They spoke to her briefly before heading into the stands. She looked terrified.

Good. Made it all the easier to get into her head during the duel.

The sixth sense he had developed from the War was going on strong and he looked around before spotting a silhouette in north door, just behind Alexis.

Prime was here.

Jason watched as Jaden stepped in, saw the two, then spotted the other girls. Jaden hurried over to the two and joined them. Jason smirked; time for phase one.

"Glad to see you showed up, Asuka," Jason sneered. "Ready to lose?"

Asuka snarled.

"Not on your life creep!"

Both of them drew the opening hand and gave out a single war cry.

"DUEL!"

GXP

Jasmine and Mindy sat in the stands, confused and a little peeved at Jason. They didn't see Jaden join them as they spoke in angered tones while taking care to avoid being heard by Jason.

"Who the hell does he think he is?! Blackmailing Alexis like that?!" Jasmine griped.

"Like, I know! Not to mention how he badmouthed Crowler." Mindy put in, both unaware of Jaden's eyes going wide and watching the duel.

Alexis? Jaden thought as he felt his heart freeze up for a second.

Now he was wondering why Asuka's name was Alexis.

GXP

Down on the duel field, Jason watched with hidden glee at the confused but hopeful expression on his twin brother. He smirked; phase one complete. Phase two underway.

"Ladies first." He called out mockingly making Alexis scowl.

"Don't be such a gentleman, its not in your blood." Alexis spat as she drew a card.

She spared a glance at it before adding it into her hand. She paused for a moment as her disk went from Draw Phase to standby phase. A small ding was heard and she smirked.

"I first play my Etoile Cyber in attack mode!"

The card's image had a woman with a skirt on her middle like a ballerina. She fit the description well as she appeared onto the field with a slight graceful twirl.

(Etoile Cyber-Lv/****, Attribute/EARTH, ATK/1200, DEF/1600, Type/Warrior/Effect If this card attacks your opponent directly, it gains 500 ATK during the Damage Step only.)

"I'll set one card facedown and end." Alexis said as she slid the card into one of her Spell/Trap zones.

"Still opening with that Doube Passe and Cyber combo? I thought you had learned better after our first duel." Jason snarled as he drew his card, Jasmine and Mindy gasping in shock as Alexis winced.

"If it ain't broke, don't fix it." She retorted.

That made Jason laugh before he mouthed: "Does that apply to your former relationship with my brother as well? It's not broken."

Alexis groaned as her own words were thrown back at her.

Jason grinned as she got the message before starting his turn.

"I'll activate my Ground Bridge spell to bring out Skywarp in attack mode!"

The card had a black and purple jet in similar design to Starscream's body. It rose out of the spiraling vortex as a jet, transformed into its robot form, and landed with a crash.

(Skywarp-Lv/******, Attribute/DARK, ATK/2300, DEF/1900, Type/Machine/Effect. Once per turn, if this card is in the Card Graveyard, You can Special summon this card. This card cannot attack if you use this effect.)

Jason grinned again as he slid another card into one of his S/T zones.

"Next comes my Aerial Strike Spell card."

The image showed three jets flying overhead and sending out various blaster bolts, missiles, and bombs onto an unsuspecting outpost.

(Aerial Strike-Type/Spell/Normal. You can only play this card if "Starscream, "Thundercracker", or "Skywarp" is on the field (if all three are in play, choose.). Inflict damage equal to Half of the ATK. These monsters cannot attack this round.)

Skywarp transformed back into his jet mode and took off. Alexis watched in terror as a bomb was dropped from the underbelly chamber of the Seeker. The bomb made a whistling sound as it dropped down, impacting Alexis field and exploding in white light.

Alexis: 2850/Jason: 4000

"I'll set two cards facedown and then play the continuous spell card, Energon Harvester!"

(Energon Harvester-Type/Spell/Continuous. Once per turn, you can send 1 Machine-type monster to the card graveyard. Draw cards equal to the Sent monster's star level.)

A pyramid of silver metal appeared onto the field behind Jason. The tyrannical boy smirked as the harvester glowed behind him.

"I send Skywarp to the card graveyard in order to regain my hand."

Alexis swore up and down as the seeker became nothing but junk and floated into the grave, the energon that had once been pumping in him, becoming apart of the Harvester, and then transferring into the deck. Jason drew six new cards and smirked.

"I'll active Skywarp's effect and resummon him back to the field in attack mode!"

There was a sound of something tearing and Skywarp was back. He landed on the ground and struck a pose.

"I'll end my turn at that."

GXP

Jasmine looked livid at the duel.

"HEY! Jason's cheating! He shouldn't have been able to bring back that Skywrap card without monster reborn or premature burial!"

Jaden intervened the volcano before she could erupt.

"Sadly, he is not cheating. Skywarp's effect allows him to be revived from the card graveyard once a round. Combine that with the Energon Harvester and Jason has a powerful combo." Jaden said.

Mindy spoke up.

"Like, doesn't matter. Alexis is still going to win!"

That alone made Jaden look at the blonde haired girl. Again, with the name of Alexis...just what was going on here?!

GXP

Alexis swore as she drew her next card. Already she was severely behind in Life Points and what was worse was that Jason had two facedowns and a monster with more attack power then her ace. Even with Polymerization and a copy of Blade skater, it would be useless to play her. She looked over her hand again and saw a way to get at Jason's Life points.

"I play Cyber Tutu in attack mode," Alexis shouted as she played the card.

The image had a young girl in a pink and white spandex with a tutu around her hips. Said girl appeared next to Cyber and gave a war cry.

(Cyber Tutu-Lv/***, Attribute/EARTH, ATK/1000, DEF/800, Type/Warrior/Effect. If the ATK of each monster your opponent controls is higher than the ATK of this card, this card can attack your opponent directly.)

Jason just scoffed.

"Typical, trying to get to my life points."

Alexis growled.

"There's nothing typical about this! Cyber Tutu, Attack Jason directly!"

Up in the stands, Jaden told himself that this would backfire in the most spectacular of ways.

He was right.

"Trap activate! Stasis Lock!"

(Stasis Lock-Type/Trap/Normal. Active this card if your opponent declares a direct attack and you have one monster in play. Negate the attack and equip this card to the attacking monster. That monster cannot attack, switch its position, and cannot be destroyed by battle.)

A golden beam of light shot out from the trap card and envelope the Cyber Tutu monster, causing her to cry out in pain. Alexis gritted her teeth; that was the second time she had fallen for that move!

"I'll switch Etolie into defense mode and end my turn."

Jason drew his card, checked it over, and added it to his hand. He regarded the field before he pulled a card from his hand.

"I summon out a Flier Drone in attack mode," Jason commanded as the flier descended next to Skywarp. "Next, I'll play my facedown trap card, Space Bridge."

"SHIT!" Alexis swore loudly as the slab of Alien earth with Cybertronian tech rose out of the earth and activated.

Jason grinned as he used the effect of the bridge.

"From my deck, I bring forth the flagship of the Decepticon Fleet, The Nemesis!"

From the bridge came a massive, jagged, black, warship, flying through the air before hovering over the two.

(The Nemesis-Lv/*********, Attribute/DARK, ATK/0, DEF/3000, Type/Machine/Effect. Once per turn, you can special summon 1 Machine-type monster from your hand or deck.)

Alexis stared in abject fear of the warship; yeah, it had no attack power to speak of, but the power lay in its effect not the attack points.

GXP

Jasmine and Mindy stared in slack jaw shock at the move Jason had pulled off. Jaden, on the other hand, was shaking his head.

"It's over..." Jaden whispered. "Jay's won."

That made Jasmine do a complete three-sixty on her attitude.

"HEY! ALEXIS RHODES NEVERS BACKS DOWN EVEN WHEN THE ODDS ARE AGAINST HER!" Jasmine screamed at him.

The full name Jasmine had screamed out sent Jaden reeling. He tuned out Jasmine as she ranted and raved. Alexis, his former girlfriend, was here at DA of all places?

GXP

Jason laughed at Alexis's paling face as he heard the red-head blow up at his twin brother.

"It looks like your secret is out now, Rhodes. Never trust a red head, they always lose their temper." Jason mocked. "My plan has come full circle now, so I'll be ending this little duel. I use the Nemesis's ground bridging tech to bring forth Soundwave!"

A hatch opened in the underbelly of the vessel and the silent Decepticon descended onto the field. It silently looked at Alexis and slid into a battle stance.

"Why stop there? I play Resonance Blaster and equip it to Soundwave."

Alexis didn;t eve react when Jason played the card reducing her spells and traps to useless. Her thoughts were racing about Jaden finding out her secret as Jason declared his attack with his Drone. She watched, her eyes dead, as Cyber was destroyed into pixel dust. She dimly heard him declare his attacks with Soundwave and Skywarp. She didn't flinch when the two attacks struck her Cyber Tutu, her holographic cries of pain, and she just stared listlessly as her life counter plummeted to zero declaring Jason the winner.

She slumped down to her knees, Mindy and Jasmine crying her name out, Jason's laughter echoing in her ears as he left. She looked up lifelessly, past Mindy and Jasmine, and into Jaden's chocolate eyes.

"Jaden..." She whispered.

GXP

Jaden stared at the broken girl that was once his proud girlfriend, Alexis Rhodes aka Elita-1 of the Autobot gang, sub-leader to sector V. His throat was dry as sandpaper, his mind a hurricane, his emotions...well, they were like his mind. When his eyes made contact with hers, his heart stopped beating for a full forty-five seconds; the eyes...the endearing hazel eyes, once full of strength and a burning desire to help others, were now lifeless and cool. He heard her whisper his name. At the confession, he unknowingly walked down to her, his eyes still locked with hers. Soon, he stood over her bent down form, his mouth working but nothing coming out. They stood like that for five minutes but finally their minds caught up with their bodies.

"Alexis/Jaden." The two finally said togther before they both blushed.

Both took a deep breath.

"How about..." They started again before stopping.

Jaden broke first with a loud laugh. Alexis nearly jumped out of her skin at the noise; it had been so long since she had heard him laugh. The rich, deep sound that she once thought was like Vin Diesel when she was twelve. It warmed her heart to hear that laugh again. She shook her head, ridding her mind of the thoughts. She looked at Jaden forlornly who looked the same. He spoke first

"How about...you explain what made you leave?" Jaden asked hesitantly.

Alexis took a gulp of air and stared Jaden right in the eye.

"There...were many reasons why I left...the most important one...was that my brother was missing. He was here at DA when the war broke out and vanished two months in...I didn't hear about it until near the end since..."

"Since communications were tightly controlled by the Cultists." Jaden finished. "I see...Lex...I don't think we'll be able to go back to what we were."

Alexis's heart clenched tightly at the tone and sound of the words. Unseen to the two of them, Jason was leaning against the wall and was gritting his teeth at hearing the words. He was just about to go stomp out there when Jaden started to speak again.

"But...I'm willing to to start over. Are you, Lex?" The twin asked with a small grin.

Alexis felt the need to jump for joy right then and there. She nodded with tears in her eyes before she slowly brought her hand out.

"I'm Alexis Rhodes...and you are?"

Jaden smiled again when he took her hand and firmly shook it.

"Jaden Yuki...next king of games."

Alexis could only giggle at seeing the young boy in Jaden again. Mindy and Jasmine watched on, confused and out of the loop. Jason looked back with a sad smile on his face before discarding it and getting his cool face back. He left the school for his dorm to plan his next move and get some studying done for the upcoming exams. His only thought as he headed out the doors was:

It's a start. Now it's up to them.

Well, there you have it. Jaden and Lex have started over again. But the question is...what is Jason gaining by doing this? Who knows...Even i can't predict him. Please read and review and have a happy new year! 2015, here we come!
