Alright! Here is "Dark Illusions pt 1" Now there will be "M" rated material in the next parts so be prepared. I would thank Darkauthor017 for the use of a new Evil Hero. Disclaimer: I don't own Yugioh GX. If I did Jaden would be the supreme king and he would have Alexis as his queen in the first season. Claimer: I own the story and the idea as well as the OC Jess Hernandez.
The water dripped at a steady pace. The cave was dank and dark as an eclipsed sun. Suddenly there was a flurry of wings and several bats flew in. The bats then gathered together to form an outline of something. At first, one might think that it was Count Dracula but they would be wrong on so many levels. For one, the outline of the being was a female not a male. The other was that Dracula turned into a single giant bat not several smaller ones. When the female had fully materialized she looked at the cave and started to laugh cruelly.
Soon, my brothers and sisters, soon. The female thought to herself.
Duel Academy Campus-Next Morning.
Jaden walked to his class silently brooding over something. He had felt another wave of dark power that was more powerful than Nightshroud's. He didn't like the feeling he had in his stomach and the sense of doom that hovered on the horizon. Jaden realized that he had reached his classroom just before the bell had rung. As he walked in, he felt a slight tremor of darkness and it was very near. He looked all around but saw nothing out of the ordinary.
"MR. YUKI!" A shrill voice that Jaden hated shrieked.
Jaden turned around and scowled, hidden by the faceplate of course, at Dr. Crowler.
"Would you mind taking your seat so that class can begin?" Crowler asked impatiently.
Jaden nodded silently and sat at his usual spot, which was by Alexis. All throughout the class he tried to pay attention but it was difficult with the constant nagging in his stomach. He didn't realize that the class had ended and had left for lunch. Suddenly he felt someone shaking his shoulder.
"Jaden, Jaden!" a female voice said sternly.
Jaden looked up and saw Alexis's face near his faceplate. He jumped slightly at how close her face was to his and fell out of his seat. Alexis placed a hand over her mouth to prevent the giggles from escaping. The gesture quickly failed and she was in a fit of giggles.
"Not funny Rhodes." Jaden growled while blushing heavily, unnoticed due to the faceplate.
He stood up and glanced at her. He noticed that her eyes didn't have the usual fire glowing in them. Alexis didn't notice and gestured to the door.
"Class is over and Crowler wants us to meet the chancellor in his office." Alexis explained.
Alexis then turned around and walked out of the classroom with Jaden in tow. Jaden heard some students talk about random things in the hall but one student's tale caught his interest.
"I'm telling you guys that the rumor is real! There is a beautiful girl here!" A boy in a red blazer said.
"Really?!?! Where?" A kid in a blue blazer asked excitedly.
"Down at the lake. But if your eyes meet hers, she turns into…" the Slifer red explained.
"Into what?!?!" A Ra yellow student asked nearly throttling the Slifer red.
"Into a vampire!" The Slifer red shouted.
The Ra yellow and Obelisk blue burst out laughing at the Slifer's tall tale. Jaden, on the other hand, was busy thinking of what the Slifer had said.
A vampire? Hmmm. That would explain the pulse of power I felt last night. Nightmare. Jaden thought to his spirit.
Sir? Nightmare replied.
I want you to be on the lookout. If you see anything suspicious, inform me immediately.
Understood.
Jaden looked around for Alexis and realized that he was in the chancellor's office. Sighing, he sat down next to Zane. Sheppard then walked in and greeted everybody.
"Hello everyone. Alexis, how is your brother?" Sheppard asked worriedly.
"He is doing all right but he doesn't remember me or anything else." Alexis said sadly.
"We'll have to worry about him later. Right now, we need focus on the next Shadow rider who arrived sometime last night." Jaden said gruffly.
Everyone looked shocked about the latest news and began to feel dread take over their hearts. Sheppard became pale that Jaden had known about the second Shadow Rider since last night. Regaining his thoughts, Sheppard nodded gravely.
"Yes. I sure that you've all heard the rumors about a mysterious woman down at the lake. I'm one hundred percent that it's the second shadow rider and it will need our total focus." Sheppard said.
With the briefing down, everyone left completely unaware that a beady pair of eyes were watching their every move.
Unknown Location
The woman sighed in content as she lowered herself into her bath. She then took a handful of bubbles and blew them into the air. Childish the creature of the night knew but it was a rather spectacular display. The tiny bubbles of light being swallowed up by the darkness of her new home as they floated away. The bubbles burst as a tiny bat flew into the room. The vampire smiled as the tiny mammal gripped her finger.
"Ah, my darling pet. Tell me what juicy information did you get my enemies?" The vampire asked with a slight Transylvanian accent.
Her eyes lit up as she looked at the seven duelists through the bats eyes. The first one she saw was Dr. Crowler, busy grading some papers and looking at his deck at the same time.
"Ewwwww. What a repulsive being. Why humans dress like that is beyond me." The vampire said as her mouth twisted in disgust.
She then shifted to Chazz who was arranging his deck. She smirked as she watched the black clad duelist add in the Ojama Yellow card.
"Humph. This one won't be much of a challenge."
The third person she saw was Alexis who was arranging her deck as well. The vampire instantly noticed that her left arm was strange.
"What a strange duel disk. No matter it won't help the girl."
The next person she glanced at was Jess in his bed. He had wrapped garlic bulbs around his neck and was waving a cross around while chanting gibberish. The female vampire sweat dropped at the display but snickered nonetheless.
The fifth was Bastion. He was writing a formula down on how to the defeat her. She smirked as she saw him take cards out and add other cards in.
The sixth person caught her attention as she looked at his face.
"Oh! What a handsome man." The vampire cooed.
The sixth person was Zane. He was looking through his deck and was considering something. The female felt her heartbeat rise slightly because he was different then most men that she had met.
He will be the perfect husband to me. Once I make him a vampire then he will rule with me. The vampire thought giddily.
But it was the seventh and final duelist that made her heart and blood freeze. Her eyes widen in surprise and terror as she gazed into the golden orbs of Jaden. Jaden wasn't reassembling or even looking at his deck; instead, he was looking directly at her or rather directly at her spy. Instantly, she felt a million thoughts rush through her.
Can it be?!? No it can't. But it is! The Supreme King of Darkness. But how? He was killed by a follower of the light of destruction. Is it possible…no it isn't possible. Then where is the Supreme Queen of Darkness? Wait, could that girl be…? No it can't be her. She thought in a panic.
"I don't know what deck the Dark King uses or even if he has a deck for that matter. But I will not allow him or his queen to stop me from reviving my race. So says Camula." The female said aloud.
Obelisk Blue DormJaden looked at the small beast that was hanging on to the gutter of the blue dorm. He had been alerted by Nightmare about the small spy.
The vampire must know about me by now. At least this way that creature can't see what my deck is and prepare. Jaden thought grimly.
A new spirit materialized next to Jaden. It was, originally, Elemental Hero Shining Flare Wingman but thanks to the power of darkness he had been converted to an Evil Hero.
My lord. The new Evil Hero said with a bow.
"What is it Dark Inferno Wing?" Jaden asked his new warrior.
Something is happening to the lake over at the girls' blue dorm and the Ra yellow dorm. Dark Inferno Wing explained as he stood up.
Jaden instantly grabbed his helmet and duel disk. The bad feeling that was in his gut before had returned but now it increased twenty-fold.
LakesideAlexis, Chazz, Zane, Bastion, and Crowler looked at the large castle that rose from the middle of the lake. The water had become a sheet of ice and a black carriage was coming to the land.
"Not good. Definitely not good." A voice said behind Alexis.
The crew spun around to see Jaden standing with his arms crossed over his chest. The faceplate was lifted and Jaden was glaring at the carriage. Alexis knew what Jaden's eyes looked like due to their first duel but, even with the incident in the chancellor's office, the others were scared senseless at Jaden's golden eyes.
"W-w-w-what's not good, Jaden?" Crowler asked eyes wide in fear.
Jaden didn't look at the teacher's face when he answered.
"That vampire sent out his/her bats to spy on us as we reassembled our decks." Jaden said quietly.
"Which means what exactly?" Chazz asked arrogantly.
Yubel explained what Jaden meant to Alexis.
It means that the vampire now knows how to counter all of your decks. Jaden must be the only one who didn't reveal his deck. Yubel said in Alexis's mind.
Alexis felt fear run through her body as the words of Yubel's sunk in.
"It means, Chazz, that the second shadow rider has the ability to counter our decks." Alexis said frowning.
Chazz just scoffed as well as Crowler. Zane just sighed coldly while Bastion muttered 'not possible' under his breath. Jaden only nodded slightly confirming what Alexis had said. By this time, the carriage had stopped and a woman with green hair and wearing a red dress stepped down. She smiled evilly as she gazed at the six duelists. But her gaze turned to one of fear when her eyes met Jaden's golden irises. The fear quickly passed and she smirked.
"I am Camula, mistress of vampires." Camula said in a gentle tone.
"I don't care if you're Miss Duel Academy herself. I'm going to take you down." Chazz thundered angrily.
"Right!" Bastion shouted as well.
Camula looked at the two and licked her lips hungrily.
"Perhaps you will be the one I will feast on." She said to Chazz.
She then turned to Bastion.
"Or maybe you."
Both of them turned pale as fear shot across their faces. Camula chuckled as she sensed their fear. She then turned to Zane and smiled coyly.
"Come, my darling. It is time to duel." Camula said, her voice hypnotizing.
Zane started to move but Crowler stepped in front of him.
"There is no way that you are going to duel one of my students on my watch! In order to duel Zane, you have to duel me!" Crowler shouted.
Camula looked infuriated at the interruption but she brought her duel disk up which looked like a giant bat wing as it deployed. Crowler activated his duel coat and both drew their opening hand.
Camula: 4000/Crowler: 4000
"I'll start first." Crowler shouted as he drew a card.
He looked at it and smirked. Zane saw the smirk and chuckled which surprised everyone in company except Jaden.
"I activate the spell card Polymerization. With this spell I fuse the Ancient Gear Golem in my hand to the two Ancient Gear Dragons in my hand to form Ultimate Gear Golem (ATK: 4400 DEF: 3800)!"
The ice next to Crowler and Camula cracked in several places. A giant fist broke through the ice, which was then followed by a giant body. A tidal wave of water was created from the summoning of the monster. It crashed over the two duelists with a furious roar. When the water had receded, the five key bearers saw that Crowler was shivering from the cold but Camula was not.
"HEY! What gives!?!?!?" Chazz shouted.
"Camula has a shadow charm. It commands the elements of fire, wind, earth, water, and metal. Camula must've used fire to protect herself from the tidal wave." Jaden said softly.
Camula smirked and laughed cruelly. She then looked at Jaden with what looked like interest in her eyes. The look got Alexis angry and something stirred deep in her subconscious. Camula had returned her attention to the duel and contemplated the giant beast of rust and gears. Crowler had placed two cards facedown and ended his turn.
"My turn. I draw." Camula said as she drew a card.
She looked at it and smiled wickedly. Crowler didn't like the smile nor did he like the bad feeling he now had.
"I discard my Vampire Prince in order to draw three cards."
The vampire mistress discarded a card and then drew three cards from her deck. She then chose one of them and played it.
"I play my Book of Life spell. With this spell, I can resurrect one Zombie monster from my deck and remove one of your cards from play. I chose my Vampire Prince (ATK: 2400 DEF: 900) to be reborn."
A pale-looking man with a purple cape and wearing a gentleman's suit rose from a book that had opened itself. The man grinned evilly revealing two pointed teeth. Crowler shivered in fear at the monster. Crowler's grave then glowed with an ominous light and one of his Ancient Gears was gone. Jaden muttered under his breath. Chazz looked in disbelief at the duel and Bastion was silently watching Camula.
"Next I will activate my Vampire Parasite's effect. By sending it to the grave, I can turn one monster on your side of the field into a Zombie."
The Ultimate Gear Golem turned into a creature of decaying flesh and rotting organs. The appearance wasn't shocked everybody though. It was the former machine going to Camula's side of the field that shocked them.
"Ach, I forgot to tell you. As long as my Vampire Prince is on the field, all Zombie-type monsters that you control become a part of my army of darkness. But, as much as I would like to attack you, I must end due to my Parasite's special ability."
"My turn. I draw!" Crowler shouted as he drew a card.
He looked at the card and smiled widely. Camula wondered why the man-who-dresses-as-a-woman would be smiling while she had control of his mightiest beast.
"I activate the spell card Pot of Greed. With this, I draw two cards."
Crowler drew two cards and looked at them. He then chose one and placed it in his spell and trap zone.
"I activate my spell card Brain Control. With this, I take back my Ultimate Gear Golem after I give up 800 life points."
Camula: 4000/Crowler: 3200
A large brain with two hands on its side rose from the card and grabbed the machine-turned-zombie by the head. The rusting machine lumbered back to Crowler and stood at attention.
"I now declare an attack with him. GO, MECHA FIST!"
The larger form of its cousin raised it fist and brought it slamming down on top of the prince of vampires. The earth groaned in protest at the attack and it left a good-sized hole where the Vampire Prince was.
Camula: 2000/Crowler: 3200
"And, of course, without your Vampire Prince you can't take my most powerful monster from me." Crowler said with a smirk.
Camula glared hatefully at the cross-gender doctor. She was not one bit happy that she was down to half of her life points. Jaden shook his head as he watched the duel.
"Don't count Camula out yet. Something tells me that she is about to draw the one card she needs to turn this duel around." Jaden whispered mostly to himself.
But it wasn't quiet enough. Alexis overheard what he said and wondered if it was safe to underestimate their opponent. Crowler ended his turn and Camula drew her card. She looked at it and grinned in a most evil way. Crowler's feeling of dread from before had returned with a vengeance.
"I activate the field spell Castle Dracula." She said as she placed the card in a slot that appeared out the side of her disk. A dark but beautiful castle arose from the ice once again creating a tidal wave. It didn't touch Camula because it had froze into a solid sheet of ice. Camula smirked as the earth broke away revealing her Vampire Prince and Vampire Parasite. The parasite looked like an overgrown leech but with eyes and a pulsing brain. Crowler looked at her in confusion.
"If you are wondering why my Vampire Prince and Parasite returned from the grave, it is simple. Castle Dracula has an ancient magic that revives the dead. So it allows me to regain my Vampire Prince and Parasite. But now I will activate another spell card known as Graceful Charity. I get to draw three cards and discard two."
The vampire mistress drew three cards and then chose two and discarded two. Immediately, a werewolf broke through the earth and snarled at Crowler. Crowler tried to take a step back but slipped on the ice and fell on his butt.
"Allow me the pleasure of introducing my Pitch-Black War-wolf (ATK: 1600 DEF: 600). His ability prohibits you from activating any traps during the battle phase. Now I shall sacrifice my three monsters to summon…"
"It can't be." Zane muttered in surprise.
"Yes. It is." Jaden said calmly.
"…My Vampire Emperor (ATK: 4000 DEF: 2000)!"
A giant vampire that wore a purple royal cloak and golden armor rose from a black portal. Crowler took one look at its attack strength and began to laugh. Jaden shook his head as he looked at the doctor.
"It's over." Jaden muttered as he turned away.
Zane wanted to turn around like Jaden did but he kept watching. Chazz looked at Jaden with anger in his eyes.
"What do you mean 'it's over'!?!?!? That monster is weaker the Ultimate Gear Golem. So Crowler can still win." Chazz roared.
Jaden turned around to face the black clad duelist his golden eyes narrow and dangerous. Chazz began to regret snapping at the Obelisk king.
"The Vampire Emperor is one of the most powerful Zombie cards in the game. It increases its own attack power by the attack power of the monster it's attacking. Do the math." Jaden hissed so coldly that icicles seemed to formed on Chazz's hair.
Bastion was the first to realize what Jaden was saying. He turned to explain it to Chazz and Alexis but Camula had shouted which interrupted Bastion's math lesson.
"I attack with my Vampire Emperor. Go, Death Burst!"
The giant vampire brought his hands up and pointed at the giant robot.
"Are you suicidal? My Golem has more attack points than that monster." Crowler yelped astonished at what the vampire was doing.
Camula just laughed and wagged her finger at him.
"No, I'm not suicidal. My Vampire Emperor has a powerful ability. It acquires your monster's attack points and adds it to his own."
The explanation done, Crowler noticed that the vampire monster had somehow grown muscles and saw that its attack power went up to 8400.
"W-wait a minute. How about I surrender the spirit key to you and let me go?" Crowler asked making a puppy face.
Camula placed a finger on her chin. She weighed the pros and cons of the decision before her. Crowler thought that she was going to say 'yes' but his hopes were dashed when the vampire mistress shook her head.
"It is a tempting offer but I think I will decline." Camula said with an evil smirk.
A beam of darkness shot out of the Vampire Emperor's finger and blew right through the Ultimate Gear Golem. The creature began to fall apart and many pieces fell on top of Crowler.
Camula: 2000/Crowler: 0
A dark aura came from Crowler's body as he kneeled. The aura then shot over Camula who had produced a rag doll of some sort. The aura went into the doll and became a smaller replica of Crowler.
"As a girl, I loved dolls. With the power of my shadow charm, I can send the soul into a doll until the time is right for me to offer them. But this…this is hideous. I want nothing to do with it." Camula said as she tossed Crowler toward the ground.
She then turned to her carriage and stepped in. Cackling madly, she rode back to her castle.
Sweet! I got 'Dark Illusions pt one' done! Now I'm going to forewarn you again pt 2 and pt 3 are going to have some M rated material so be ready.
