We do not own these Yu-Gi-Oh characters.

Reviews:

The Wolf Paladin: Thank you for understanding. And don't worry, she'll be alright later.

Guest Oct 6th: Yeah, it's the plan.

The Sinful: It's called "breaking the mould", it's trying something new.

AXZ-Universe: Not "brother-sister" but more... "respected rivals"

ZERO BANDICOOT: Blair. Will. Return!

Here's a review answered by our own GreyKing46:

Dragon8188: The Sub is better than the Dub for ALL Yugioh. PUT YOUR PITCHFORK'S DOWN FANBOYS! 4Kids are famous for changing things at random and stupid censorships that BADLY hurt the characters and story behind belief. 'Going to the ShadowRealm' and 'being sent to the stars' was not a thing. Those characters DIED.

Chancellor Sheppard was currently in his office, writing up some documents...Before the island began to shake.

"W... What?!" He gasped

He looked out his windows and saw the lofty pyramids were glowing; something locked away, The Sacred Beasts, were waking up.

"No."

*? ? ?*

Deep within the catacombs of the academy, within a secret hollowed cavern; was a large curved pillar that seemed to be segmented into seven sections, held back by seven equally large stone barricades. Within the segmented pillar, was the rumbling, powers that wanted to be released.

Three glowing cards shot pulses of energy, trying to escape, but without any effect

*? ? ?*

A group of people was waiting in a darkened cave, they felt the trembles of the earth and each of them smiled.

"It seems our time is coming close." A male voice spoke darkly

Others nodded, grinning evilly and laughing

"Alright...Who's going for the keys first?" A voice asked

"I will!" A powerful female voice said

"Here, what about us?" A male voice asked, hidden in shadows with four other shadows

"You'll infiltrate, get in close...Until the time comes." A seductive woman's voice answered

"I'll go first; take out a few of them." The male nodded

"And I'll follow up shortly after and pick off the ones who remain!" The seductive female purred

"So...we're in agreement?" The first voice asked

They all nodded

As the majority of the group left the first male voice and the second voice remained. "We're alone again." She smiled

"That we are, my queen." The male smiled, the shadowy figure pulling her close

"It won't be long...Until we can be together forever." The female smiled

"I promise." He nodded, clearly pushing his lips against hers and kissing her deeply

*Now back to DA, Time Skip*

It was now the morning, the classes were going on well.

That was until the PA system went on

"Good morning students." Chancellor Sheppard spoke

"This is new." Jaden spoke

"Will the following people, please come to my office." Sheppard called "Zana Truesdale, Jaden Yuki, Alexis Rhodes, Bastion Misawa, Syrus Truesdale, Jazz Thunder and Professor Crowler. That is all."

"Us?" The five in the lesson wondered and then went to the Chancellor's room.

"What did you do now?" Jazz frowned

"Nothing...I don't think." Jaden answered

"What about the other day with Professor Banner's experiment and the room flooded with bubbles?" Bastion asked

"Wasn't me!" Jaden said, protecting himself

The group soon arrived at Chancellor Sheppard's, where Zana and Crowler were arriving themselves.

"Well well, look who's here." Crowler grinned "The riff raff."

'Could say the same for you Crowler.' Jaden frowned

"Let's just go in." Alexis urged, everyone walking into the room

"Hello everyone. Thank you for coming." Chancellor Sheppard spoke seriously

"What's up?" Jaden smiled

"Last night...Something happened." Sheppard answered "Something dangerous."

"...I don't like the sound of that." Bastion answered

"... So that's why we are here." Jaden nodded, frowning

"Yes...Last night...The Sacred Beasts awakened." Chancellor Sheppard answered

"Sacred what?" Jazz asked

"I've never heard of them." Syrus added

"Think of them as dark versions of the god cards." Jaden said, crossing his arms "They were the strongest servants of the Supreme King of myth, but after the king died they became arrogant and power hungry so they were sealed away."

"Wow..." Zana blinked

"There are seven spirit gates, holding the Sacred Beasts back." Sheppard explained "But a group called the Shadow Riders are now after the keys, as the Sacred Beasts have awoken."

"And we're going to be the ones to protect the keys?" Alexis asked

"You are the best duellists in the school... And Crowler to fill the seventh slot." Sheppard nodded

Upon hearing that Crowler did an anime fall and lost the colour in his face. "Wha...? I-I'm just for filler?"

Everyone else ignored him as they focused in the gravity of the situation. Well for five seconds because of a certain someone...

"Yoink." Jaden grinned, snatching a key "This'll be fun. I'm in." He said with his cheerful mask

"J-Jaden?" Syrus gulped

"I'm in." Jaden repeated

"...I'm in too." Alexis answered taking a key as well.

"What?!" Syrus gasped

"I have a question." Zana said as she too took a necklace/key "Why is my brother here?"

"Because your brother is the second best Slifer in the school. His record is impressive." Sheppard answered

"Second best in Slifer is equivalent to worst in Ra." Zana frowned

Syrus flinched at that and got a frown from both Jaden and Bastion.

"I'll join too. I wouldn't want to let anyone down." Bastion spoke, getting a key.

"Well someone has to make sure you lot don't fuck up." Jazz shrugged, taking a key

"I'll take one too. I'll PROVE that I'm no "Red Shirt"." Crowler answered, giving a Star Trek reference and also insulting Jaden and Syrus

Syrus hesitated before nodding and taking a key as well

"So, you're all in agreement." Sheppard answered

Everyone nodded at that, Zana frowning at Syrus

"Good luck all of you. I know you'll do well." Sheppard added

*time skip*

"That was brave of you joining us, Syrus." Jaden spoke

"It... It's nothing." He blushed

"Well, in any case. I'm glad you've got our backs." Jaden added

Syrus nodded, the two entering their dorm

"I hope Professor Banner gets better soon." Syrus commented

"Kinda." Jaden admitted

Jaden looked at his key, noting that it looked quite different to Syrus'. "Still, we've got other stuff to worry about now...I guess."

Syrus nodded before he noticed it was dark outside

"Man...How long do classes take now?" Syrus asked

"Well, better get ready for bed then." Jaden shrugged

"Alright. Night Jay." Syrus yawned heavily

"Night." Jaden nodded

Little did they know Alexis was running towards the Dorm in fear "This is bad! These Shadow-Rider's won't know much about us! They'd go after the ones who seem weakest first! And that's Jaden and Syrus because they are Slifer's!" She said in fear as she ran

Unknown to her, a certain Shadow-Rider had set their eyes on them. 'Two keys...One trip. SUCH a fool, Sheppard.' The Shadow-Rider thought evilly.

Alexis reached towards the door... And the room and Alexis where surrounded with light

"AHHHHHhhhhh!" She screamed as the denizens in the room and herself were whisked away.

*?*

Jaden groaned, sitting up slowly as he awoke

"Oh...My head..." Jaden grabbed his head in pain.

He looked around and saw both Alexis and Syrus waking up as well, alongside a rocky wall behind them

"Alexis...Syrus...?" He asked "Ow...What hit me?"

"That would be me." A dark voice smirked

"What? Who're you?" Jaden asked as he got up and was wearing his DuelDisk.

The figure what in all black with a grey DuelDisk wearing a dragon like mask

"Call me: Nightshroud. And I'll be taking that key of yours." The now named "Nightshroud" answered

"Like hell you will!"

"Then duel me. Otherwise, your friends there will be feeling the heat." Nightshroud answered...As they were situated IN the island's volcano!

"THE FUCK?!" Jaden yelled before he shook his head, sighing before he activated his DuelDisk

"Duel!" Nightshroud smiled as he drew his five cards.

"Duel." Jaden grumbled, drawing his five cards

Nightshroud: 4000

Jaden: 4000

"I'll start." Nightshroud said as he drew a sixth card

"First off, I'll play Black Dragon's Chick and summon it to the field in attack mode!"

Black Dragon's Chick

Level 1

DARK

800 ATK/ 500 DEF

"Now I'll send him to the graveyard to special summon from my hand: Red Eyes Black Dragon!"

Red Eyes Black Dragon

Level 7

DARK

2400 ATK/ 2000 DEF

"Now I'll play Infernal Fire Blast! In exchange for not being able to attack this turn you take 2400 points of damage!" Nightshroud called, his dragon shooting a fireball at Jaden sending him flying back and screaming as the flames surrounded him

"JADEN!" Syrus and Alexis yelled

Jaden: 4000 - 1600

"I have never seen Jaden get hit like that before!" Syrus gasped

'AND it's a clever move.' Dee nodded in annoyance 'As it is THE first turn he could not attack even if he wanted to, meaning his card had no real consequences.'

"I'll lay a card faced down and end my turn." Nightshroud answered and ended his turn

"My turn..." Jaden groaned as he drew his card. He ACTUALLY felt the flames surrounding him and burning him. "... You are messing with something you do not understand, Nightshroud." Jaden frowned, knowing that this was a shadow game as his gold eyes glowed menacingly

"Oh really? A Slifer with balls. HA. I'd like to see you try." Nightshroud answered

"I'm not just a Slifer." Jaden growled, glaring at the Red-Eyes

Jaden looked at his hand and assessed the situation.

It wasn't the best, nowhere near a one-turn win, but it was good enough

"Since you control a monster and I don't I can special summon Evil Hero Infernal Prodigy! I then tribute him to summon Evil Hero Malicious Edge!" Jaden called in a quick combo

Malicious Edge

Level 7

EARTH

2600 ATK/ 1800 DEF

'2600 ATK?' Nightshroud thought to himself.

But he didn't react behind his inner thoughts

"Next I play Dark Fusion to combine together Avian and WildHeart!" Jaden called before he raised his arm and began to chant "Heroic Wings, take flight and unite with the lost jungle hero! Become one and take vengeance on the wicked! Fusion Summon, Level 8, Evil Hero Wild Cyclone!" Jaden chanted

Evil Hero Wild Cyclone

Level 8

EARTH

1900 ATK/ 2300 DEF

"Malicious Edge, attack Red Eyes Black Dragon!" Jaden called out

Malicious Edge

2600

Red Eyes Black Dragon

2400

Malicious Edge slashed Red Eyes Black Dragon, cleaving it in two and destroying it.

Nightshroud

4000 - 3800

"I activate my trap card! Red Eyes Spirit!" Nightshroud called out

"What does that do?" Jaden asked

"This card allows me to target one "Red Eyes" monster in my graveyard and summon it to the field!" Nightshroud answered and returned his destroyed Red Eyes Black Dragon

"I end my turn." Jaden nodded, putting the last card in his hand face down

"My turn." Nightshroud smiled as he drew his card. "I play the spell card Cost Down, sending a card from my hand I can play Curse of Dragon!"

Curse of Dragon

Level 5 - 3

DARK

2000 ATK/ 1500 DEF

"I sacrifice my Red Eyes Black Dragon, for Red Eyes Darkness Dragon!"

Red Eyes Darkness Dragon

Level 9

2400 ATK/ 2000

"And due to my Dragon's ability, it gains 300 ATK points for every dragon in my graveyard. And I count 3, meaning my Dragon gains 900 ATK points!" Nightshroud answered

The holograms of Red Eyes Black Chick, Red Eyes Black Dragon and a Cave Dragon gave a rise in ATK points for Red Eyes Darkness Dragon

Red Eyes Darkness Dragon

2400 - 3300

"You're playing the weaker Red-Eyed Darkness, using the base one." Jaden shrugged, seemingly unfazed

"Say what you want. I'VE got the upper hand. Curse of Dragon, attack! Destroy Wild Cyclone!" Nightshroud called out

Jaden didn't even flinch as his monster was destroyed and he took a tiny bit of damage

Jaden: 1600 - 1500

"Come on Jaden, you can do this!" Syrus called out in fear.

"Red Eyes Darkness Dragon, destroy his Malicious Edge!" Nightshroud smiled evilly

"Trap, Magical Cylinder." Jaden said simply

"Magic Cylinder?!" Nightshroud panicked as his life points plummeted almost to zero.

Nightshroud

3800 - 500

The Shadow Rider flinched as he was engulfed in his monster's flames.

"Do you end your turn?" Jaden asked

"... Fine." Nightshroud snarled

"My turn." Jaden drew his card. "I play the spell card: Card of Sanctity. This allows both of us to draw up to six cards."

The two duellists drew their cards.

With a fresh hand, Jaden examined it. "I'll play the spell card: Pot of Greed. Allowing me to draw two cards."

"Jaden's got seven cards in his hand!" Syrus cheered

"That maybe what he needs." Alexis added

"I play: L - Luscious Goods. This allows me to use two spell or trap cards from either of our graveyards." Jaden called out "I choose your cost down and my Pot of Greed."

"Another two cards?!" Syrus gasped

"What next." Alexis smiled lightly

"Great." Nightshroud frowned

"I play the spell card Double Dark Fusion to fuse Elemental Heroes Burstinatrix and Bubbleman to form Evil Hero Hellstorm Healer!"

Evil Hero Hellstorm Healer

Level 6

WATER

1900 ATK/ 1700 DEF

Jaden

1500 -1000

"And due to my Hellstorm Healer, I gain life points for every card on the field." Jaden added

Jaden

1000 - 3000

"And my Double Dark Fusion I fuse Hellstorm with Malicious Edge, to form Malicious Fiend!"

Evil Hero Malicious Fiend

Level 8

FIRE

3500 ATK/ 2100 DEF

"Now attack his Curse of Dragon!"

"I...I have nothing!" Nightshroud thought in fear looking at his hand.

Malicious Fiend slashed Curse of Dragon with his razor sharp claws and destroyed it.

Nightshroud

500 - 0

Jaden had won the duel, as the flames burned around Nightshroud the four of them were teleported to outside of the volcano.

"That was close." Alexis panted, her skirt slightly burnt

"Jaden, you okay?" Syrus asked

"Yea, I'm fine." Jaden nodded

"Who WAS that guy?" Syrus asked

"I'm not sure...But there he is." Jaden answered as the cloaked individual who was turned away from them.

He was stumbling out of the volcano, holding his head

"Hey, wait!" Alexis called out and grabbed the individual's shoulder turning him around.

And was sent flying back as the figure yelled in pain, a massive purple aura around him

"Alexis!" Jaden ran to her to catch her.

The figure roared in pain as he fell to the floor and his mask evaporated from his face.

The mask reformed as a card, falling to the ground silently

"The heck...?" Syrus looked at the card and frowned

"J-Jaden..." Alexis' eyes widened upon seeing the figure's face.

"What is it?" Jaden asked

"It...It's him." Alexis began to weep

"Who? Who him?" Jaden asked

"My...My brother...Atticus." She answered
