To everyone reviewing: Here you go, the next chapter
It was some time since Duel Monsters Spirit Day, since the existence of Duel Monsters in another plain of existence; Alexis had grown to be more comfortable around Mana, Cleo and Berenice. Yubel wasn't too big of a problem since she had her "Supreme Cyber Queen" on hand.
Syrus had been growing in confidence from his encounter with Dark Magician and he was smiling more since Dee was technically with him all the time.
He did wish he could REALLY see her all the time and have a proper conversation but this was enough for now
Jaden was happy that Alexis knew about his duel spirit girlfriends. It was like a weight had been lifted from his shoulders.
Life around campus had been quite busy, what with the lessons and Chumley leaving the Slifer dorm.
Hell, he graduate from the school!
He had to face not only his father but Dr Crowler!
After both Duels, Chumley was hired by Maximilian Pegasus to join him in his artist's department at Industrial Illusions!
It was sad to see a friend go but they were all happy to see Chumley reach his dream
'Good luck Chumley.' Jaden thought kindly
Back at the school, Jaden and his friends were currently in Professor Banner's alchemy lesson.
Correct. They were at the 'watch Banner blow himself up' class, as the students liked to call it
"And so by adding this to the mixture-" Banner spoke
BOOM!
And a big smoke cloud covered Banner in soot and explosive residue.
The students laughed at the sight that happened every lesson
"Well, *cough* with THAT for our "explosion quota" today...I think class can be dismissed." banner coughed trying to clean up his mess
Everyone nodded, putting their stuff away
"Thanks for the fun lesson, Professor." Each of the students spoke to him
Jaden smiled as he got out of class, hiding behind the door for a special Obelisk to walk by
"Where is he? I thought I-" Alexis wondered before she was hugged from behind by Jaden
"Gotcha." He smiled
Alexis smiled, giggling as he kissed her neck
"Well...THAT'S something." Bastion spoke to Syrus.
"I know; right?" Syrus smiled
"They're in the honeymoon phase." Mindy said knowingly
If there were drinks involved the current people would be doing spit-takes, but as there are NO drinks here, the two boys did an anime fall.
"H-H-Honeymoon phase?!" Syrus asked
"Yep. The early part of the relationship where they are just happy they confessed and are together, being very lovey-dovey as they are just so happy and the other feeding those feelings because they feel the same. All their own and each other's faults are ignored as they are just that happy. Then they will settle into a rhythm where the faults are noticed as well as annoying habits and such. And they either work through it or break up." Mindy explained sagely
"...Teach us, Sensei Mindy." Syrus spoke blinked in shock
"Sorry, my observations aren't for sale. I just help out when needed." Mindy giggled
"Come on Mindy. That's enough of that." Alexis smiled as she and Jaden calmed down from their kissing and were now holding hands.
"You're no fun sometimes." Mindy pouted
Alexis chuckled at her friend playfully "Come on."
Jaden smiled, following his new girlfriend as she started walking
*Time Skip*
Jaden and Alexis were currently sitting in the common room for the main school.
"Alexis... Who's Atticus?" Jaden asked suddenly
"Wh-What? Where...How told you about him?" Alexis asked in shock
"I looked on the school system to get your number and email to add them to my contacts." He explained "I looked up just 'Rhodes' and there were two... You and this 'Atticus' guy?"
"He...He's my brother." She answered sadly
"Your brother?" He asked in shock
"Yes. He...He's disappeared..." Alexis added
"He disappeared?!" He gasped
Alexis nodded sadly "Some time ago...And...There's been no leads."
"... I'll help you." Jaden sighed with a smile
"What? Y-You'll help me?" Alexis gasped
"Anything for you." He chuckled with a smile
"Thank you Jaden." She sniffed happily
Jaden smiled, hugging her carefully
'We'll find him Alexis...I promise.' Jaden thought
*Elsewhere*
In a dark alley, a duellist was running away from a shadowed figure holding a pyramid shaped object. "N-No! Stay away!"
"You fought...You lost. GO TO THE SHADOWS!" A menacing voice roared to the duellist pointing the pyramid shape at them, shining at them and causing him to become deeply terrified.
The man fell to the floor, seemingly dead
The menacing man smiled darkly and left; hiding away his pendant and walked towards a bar.
Suddenly his phone rang
"Hello?" He answered his phone
"Hello; is this "Titan"?" A voice asked
"Speaking." He responded
"Ah, good! I've got a job for you!"
"Really? What's the job?" Titan asked
"Come to Duel Academy!" The voice grinned
*time skip, Duel Academy docks*
'He should be here...' A figure stood at the docks as a boat arrived. "Ah...Here he is."
Titan walked off the boat, seeing the one who called him
It was Dr Crowler!
"What kept you? N-Not that I'm complaining?" Crowler asked
"Boats trouble me." Titan answered "So, what's this job?"
"I... I want you to scare this student so badly he runs screaming from this island and never come back." Crowler stuttered, holding out a picture of Jaden
Titan took the picture and committed it to memory. "Very well. This student WILL know the fear of The Shadows."
*with Jaden*
Jaden was rubbing his eyes as he was trying to find SOME location on Atticus, but all lead to dead ends. Except for one section: The Abandoned Dorm that was on campus. "Man...What time is it?"
"Midnight." Syrus said, the two sitting at a table in the Slifer Red dorm
"You didn't have to come Syrus, you could've slept." Jaden spoke
"Are you kidding? Alexis is my friend...I'm not gonna sit back and let you do all the work." Syrus answered "Plus you're my friend."
Jaden chuckled and nodded "Thanks Syrus."
"So...Err...On a different note: how's Dee?" Syrus asked
"... She's fine." Jaden whispered, his eye twitching lightly
"Yeah? That's good..." Syrus sighed as he continued to work on the research.
Jaden nodded when a figure walked up behind them
"Huh? Who? BWAH!" Syrus looked up and screamed in shock
Standing there... Was professor Banner
"Professor Banner? What're you doing up?" Jaden panted in relief seeing his Dorm's Professor.
"I heard you and Syrus talking as I was finishing grading papers." Banner explained, sitting down "What seems to be the problem?"
"We're helping Alexis look for her brother, Atticus, but all we're able to find out is that he's been missing since the Abandoned Dorm, north of the island." Jaden answered
"... The abandoned dorm." Banner nodded, serious
"Yeah...Professor, do you know anything about it?" Jaden asked with a concerned look.
"Just that there are rumours that the mysteries surrounding it are thanks to dark magic and alchemy." Banner explained
"You mean "Shadow Games"...Right?" Jaden asked
"And dark rituals, yes."
"...What would Atticus be doing there...?" Jaden whispered
"Before everyone disappeared the dorm was for excelling students who were looking for a specialty in performance duelling and duel-history theory."
"So there might be something there that'll lead us to him. And the other students." Jaden thought aloud
"I wouldn't go to the abandoned dorm if I were you." Banned warned "You should stay far away from the north of the central building! ... I should not have said that! Ignore it and follow the advice, do not go there!"
As he said that, Jaden and Syrus saw each other and nodded. They knew what to do.
*time skip*
"Jaden, are you SURE we're supposed to do this? I know we're helping Alexis and all...But couldn't this wait till morning?" Syrus asked as they were heading north through the forest
"We'll be found then." Jaden replied
"Good point." Syrus nodded though he wanted his friend to think about this.
"There it is..." Jaden spoke as they saw a clearing of a dilapidated dorm. Its gates were rusted and falling off the hinges, the windows were broken, walls had long tangled ivy crawling up it, the roof was broken and hole ridden. And it looked like the door was open
... And they saw a feminine figure near the walls
"Wait...Who's...ALEXIS!?" Jaden focused in on the figure and then went wide eyed seeing the figure in the moonlight.
Alexis screamed, jumping back and spinning around
"Alexis, calm down! Calm down, it's just us." Jaden answered
"J... Jaden?" She blinked
"Yeah and me. What're you doing out here?" Syrus asked poking his head from around the corner
"... Paying my respects." She sighed
"Oh...Sorry Alexis...We're trying to find some clues on your brother." Jaden added
Alexis raised a small eyebrow at that
"Lex, we're just trying to help. That's all." Jaden explained
"Is...Is that for Atticus?" Syrus asked kindly
Alexis nodded, sighing
"It's a memento... A message. I know he is out there... I know he's alive... But we can't go in there Jaden. There are security cameras and if they find out you went in there you will be expelled!" Alexis explained
"... Fine." Jaden sighed, knowing he will have to ask the girls to have a look since... Well... Spirits. They'll be safe
"Let's go back now Jaden." Syrus suggested, walking away
"Okay." Jaden nodded, starting to walk away before stopping "Alexis? Aren't you coming?"
"No. You go ahead. I'll be another five minutes; the school knows I do this." Alexis smiled sadly, shaking her head
"Oh... Alright. I'll see you tomorrow then." He nodded, kissing her cheek quickly before he ran to catch up with Syrus
"... Jaden Yuki." Alexis sighed with a smile... Before a gloved hand covered her mouth making her scream
*With Jaden and Syrus*
"That's Alexis!" Jaden yelled, the two stopping in their tracks
"M... Maybe she just saw a bu..." Syrus' slightly fear filled suggestion was cut off as Jaden took off running at full speed "Okay. Okay. I'm coming." Syrus grumbled, following.
They soon reached the wall again and found no one... But they saw a card on the floor
"Cyber Tutu? It's Alexis'!" Jaden gasped, picking it up... Before he noticed another card. Ignoring what might happen he jumped over the wall and ran to the door to find Cyber Blader on the inside of the house "No!" He gasped, picking the card up
"Why would she be in here?" Syrus asked, following his friend.
The two looked around the room, seeing pictures of the Millennium Items as well as books and pictures all over the place
"... This is Atticus." Jaden frowned, picking up a picture of a brown haired teen... When they heard Alexis' screams again
"It came from this way!" Syrus said, finding a secret passage way which the two quickly descended through... And found themselves in what looked like a ritualistic room or something
"What the heck IS this room? What's with all this stuff on the floor and room?" Syrus asked
"We'll worry about this later. Where's Alexis?" Jaden spoke as they saw a figure standing on the opposite end of the room.
It was Titan, grinning evily
"Who're you? Where's Alexis?" Jaden snarled
"Your little lady friend are over there." Titan smirked, point to the side... revealing a coffin holding an unconscious Alexis inside
"Alexis! What did you do to her?" Jaden demanded
"She lost her soul... And soon yours will join her... IN THE SHADOW REALM!" The man called, laughing as he pulled out a knock off Millennium Puzzle
"What? The Shadow Realm?!" Syrus panicked "Err...What's the Shadow Realm?" He asked naively
Jaden was glaring at Titan, seeing the fake Millennium Puzzle in his hands. "What do you want?" He growled through his teeth
"A duel! That will send your souls to the darkness!" Titan called, activating his DuelVest... And Jaden began to laugh
'He's laughing?' Titan thought as he saw and heard Jaden.
"You faker." Jaden suddenly said darkly, hair over his eyes
"What? I'm no fake!" Titan rebutted
"Fake? You mean he's NOT a Shadow Duellist?" Syrus asked, coining a name.
"He's a fake. He uses mirrors and illusions." Jaden said darkly... Before shadows shot out of Jaden and filled the room, breaking Alexis from her coffin and waking her up "AS THE SUPREME KING I WILL PUNISH THE ONE WHO TAKES THE NAME OF THOSE CURSED GAMES IN VAIN!"
'Wh-What IS all this?! He never mentioned THIS!' Titan thought in fear
"S-Supreme King? Jaden!" Syrus spoke in fear and worry
"Ow...What...Jaden? Haou?" Alexis woke up with a thumping headache
The darkness he released could be felt all over the island.
The volcano shook, lightning struck and the island felt the pressure
Under the island three dark cards glowed brightly, shaking as they felt the power of a familiar king
And the room Jaden, his friends and Titan where in?
The eye of widget on the floor began to glow, a strange darkness filling the room
"Now...I have but ONE question..." Jaden spoke, activating his DuelDisk that seemed to apparate onto his arm.
"Wh-What?" Titan gulped
"Are you ready to duel?" Jaden answered as his Disk activated
But before he could say anything... Darkness attacked Titan
"ARGH! What-What IS all this?!" Titan shouted in fear
"That's not me!" Jaden gasped, taking a step back
"ARGH! Help! Help me!" Titan shouted as he was becoming enveloped by the Darkness
Alexis quickly stood up as she and Syrus readied their Duel Disks
"Jaden what WAS that?" Syrus panicked as Titan came back up, surrounded by the darkness. It seemed to be dripping off him like thick black tar.
"I don't know." He frowned
Titan inhaled and exhaled slowly. "...So...You've returned...Supreme King..."
"Who are you?" Jaden frowned
"I have become emissary of the Shadows. I am here to take you three, as the Shadows have before." Titan spoke
"WHAT?!" Syrus and Alexis yelled
"I will take you...To the Shadows!" Titan activated his duel-jacket. "DUEL!"
Titan: 12,000
Jaden, Syrus and Alexis: 12,000
The three's eyes widened as their DuelDisks turned themselves on, shuffling
"How is he doing this?" Syrus asked in worry
"I don't know, but we're stuck in this now." Alexis answered as their decks finished shuffling.
Jaden nodded, drawing five cards
Soon followed by Alexis and then by Syrus.
"I will start things off." Titan spoke, taking command and drew his card per turn.
"You three can sacrifice each other's monsters and use each other's face downs but you can't attack with each other's monsters." The possessed Titan explained for clarification "I play the field spell Pandemonium!" He called, activating the field... Making the room look like the inside of some living creature!
"Whoa...This...Looks nasty." Jaden commented
"It looks like something from a horror show." Alexis added
"I'm scared." Syrus admitted
"Now I summon Archfiend General!" Titan called, playing a monster that looked like an armoured skeletal knight
Archfiend General
DARK
Level 4
2100 ATK/ 800 DEF
"Archfiend General? That's a new one on me." Syrus spoke
"Careful it might have a special ability lurking on it." Alexis answered
"Yeah, but with 2100 ATK points, it might be detrimental." Jaden answered
"If Pandemonium is not on the field this card goes to the grave." Titan explained simply "I play three cards face down and end turn."
'There it is.' Jaden thought. "Three faced downs...My turn." Jaden spoke drawing his card per turn.
In his hand were V-Vile Heart, I-Insidious Trap, E-Hero Clayman, Evil Hero Infernal Gainer, L-Luscious Goods and Pot of Greed.
"I play three cards face down and activate Pot of Greed!" Jaden called, quickly activating his cards. He drew two cards, Sparkman and Disgraceful Charity. Flinching he played Disgraceful face down and played Clayman in facedown defence mode "End turn." He sighed
"My turn." Alexis drew her card.
In her hand she had: Cyber Instructor, Polymerization, Blade Skater, Double Passe, Hallowed Life Barrier and Etoile Cyber. A good offensive hand.
"I'll play two cards face down and play Polymerization to fuse together my Blade Skater and Etoile Cyber into Cyber Blader!" Alexis called
Cyber Blader
EARTH
Level 7
2100 ATK/ 800 DEF
"This'll end my turn." Alexis answered
"It's my turn now." Syrus spoke 'Okay, keep this going Syrus. You can do this.' He thought in worry. He looked at his cards: Mystical Machine - Invisibility Cloak, Inherited Soul, Heli Magician, Jet Magician, Mystical Machine - High Potion and Medi Magician.
"I... I play two cards face down and summon Heli Magician and end my turn." Syrus said nervously
'Why didn't Syrus summon his second Magician? Heli Magician can do that.' Jaden thought
"It's MY turn now!" Titan spoke drawing his next card.
And suddenly... Darkness shot from the walls at the three!
"What's going on?!" Syrus yelled
"The darkness will drain you the longer you stay here!" Titan laughed... When quick flashes of light blocked the darkness
Mana, Berenice and Cleo stood around Jaden, blocking the strike. Yubel appeared with her wings around Alexis, protecting her. And Syrus? Dark Magician Girl stood protecting him with her wand ready
"WHAT?!" Titan snarled
"You will NOT." Berenice, Cleo and Mana spoke together
"Hurt our friends!" Yubel added
"Or loved ones!" Dark Magician Girl finished off
"Yubel!" Alexis called out
"Dee! You came back!" Syrus smiled
"Never left." Dee smiled back
"Grr! Fine, but you will STILL lose!" Titan proclaimed drawing his card per turn
"I summon TerrorKing Archfiend!"
Terrorking Archfiend
Level 4
DARK
2000 ATK/ 1500 DEF
"Great, what does THIS guy do?" Jaden asked
"You will find out later." Titan smirked
"Well thanks to you having two monsters on your field my Cyber Blader's attack is doubled!" Alexis smirked
Cyber Blader: 2100 ATK - 4200 ATK
"Now. TerrorKing, destroy Heli Magician!" Titan called
"Grr...RARGH!" TerrorKing lifted up his sword and swung it down against Heli Magician
"I-I activate: Mystical Machine - Invisibility Cloak!" Syrus called out activating his trap. "My Heli Magician gains 300 DEF points and can't be destroyed in battle!"
Heli Magician
1200 - 1500 DEF
"Then I end turn." Titan said simply
"Wait... Why didn't you take damage?!" Dark Magician Girl gasped
"What do you mean?" Mana asked
"The Archfiend archetype requires you to give up life points at your end phase to use them." Yubel frowned
"But Pandemonium keeps me from taking that damage!" Titan laughed
Jaden growled drawing a card "I play Graceful Charity: drawing three and discarding two, where I activate my face down Disgraceful Charity which lets me get the cards I discarded back." Jaden listed off, seeing the three new cards he held where Dark Fusion, Avian and Mana's first form
'Sparkman, Clayman on my field, Avian, Infernal Gainer and Mana...' He thought to himself.
"I summon Evil Hero Infernal Gainer and then play Dark Fusion to combine Sparkman and Clayman into Evil Hero Lightning Golem!" Jaden called
Evil Hero Infernal Gainer
Level 4
DARK
1600 ATK /0 DEF
Evil Hero Lightning Golem
Level 6
LIGHT
2400 ATK /1500 DEF
"Lightning Golem and Infernal Gainer? What do these do?" Titan asked in confusion
"How about I show you? I remove Infernal Gainer from play, allowing Lightning Golem to attack twice for two turns!" Jaden called
As Infernal Gainer was removed from the field, Lightning Golem's ability activated before Jaden attacked: Destroying one monster on Titan's side of the field.
And Titan smirked
And suddenly Lightning Golem exploded, a glowing 2 protecting Terrorking
"What the? Lightning Golem? What happened?!" Jaden asked
"My TerrorKing's special ability." Titan answered
"When targeted by a special ability it rolls a dice. If it lands on a 2 or a 5 it negates the effect and destroys the card that targeted the king."
'And my field is now wide open!' Jade thought 'Can... Can he attack the three of us if just one of our fields is empty?'
"Now...Do you end your turn? Seeing as you can't do anything else." Titan chuckled darkly
"... Alexis, you're move." Jaden snarled lightly, not angry at her but himself
'If that monster can destroy and negate our monsters...Then we have to get rid of it via attack.' She thought as she drew her card.
"I use Cyber Blader to attack Terrorking Archfiend!" She called, her monsters attack still doubled because of Titan having two monsters
Cyber Blader
4200
Terrorking Archfiend
2000
"Attack! Skater's Slash!" Alexis called out
Titan didn't even flinch as his monster was destroyed
Titan: 12,000 - 9,800
"Trap, activate. Archfiend Flames. When an Archfiend is destroyed by battle I remove it from play. You then take the same amount for damage I did, as well as the ATK of the monster that destroyed the archfiend as battle." Titan said as Cyber Blader's ATK returned to normal
Cyber Blader: 4200 ATK - 2100 ATK
"Now... Eat this!" Titan called as flames shot at Alexis, making her scream
Jaden, Alexis and Syrus: 12,000 - 7800
"Alexis!" Syrus and Jaden called out as Alexis held herself in pain
"You see? THIS is the power of The Shadows! The POWER of a TRUE. SHADOW GAME!" Titan roared "Your souls are MINE!"
"If what he says is true...We're going to die!" Syrus panicked
"It won't come to that Syrus, I promise." Jaden spoke seriously
