Disclaimer: Don't own anything dealing with yugioh in this fic except the OC's, cards and stroy...so far.

A/N: Don't have much to say really except thank you to the people who have been reviewing and to the one's who've created some OC's for me to use. (They'll show up after I finish the "Dusk" arc) So without further ado, here is Chapter 6.

Duel Academy Meeting Room...

"I called this meeting to inform you of recent events," Steeler said.

The Chancellor was sitting in the meeting room, his staff sitting around the table as well. The Slifer Red headmistress was sitting to Steeler's left. Her name was Amy Carson, or Prof. Carson. She was in her mid 30's, had pale pink hair, and was wearing the Slifer Red girls outfit(with a longer skirt). Ra Yellow's headmaster, Prof. Misoto, was on Steeler's right. He was an old man, 60 years of age and had dark grey hair, a grey moustache, and a Ra Yellow outfit. Then there was Prof. Zimmern, sitting next to the Obelisk Blue headmistress, Dr. Pryce. She was about the same age as Zimmern, had shoulder-length blue hair, and wore the Obelisk Blue outfit. The main difference between her and Zimmern was that she was a snob. She thought she was better than all the other teachers, except Zimmerm, who she had a crush on. She was angered though, by the fact that Zimmern had an eye for Prof. Williams, the Ra Yellow headmistress, who was sitting across from him. Finally, sitting across from Steeler was Prof. Langston. There was only one unoccupied seat in the room.

"Before we begin, where is Vice Chancellor Rhodes?" Prof. Langston questioned.

"Due to her daughter's disappearance, I told her she could miss this meeting if she needed to," Steeler answered. "Now, as you know, students have gone missing recently."

"Yes, we know this," Dr. Pryce interupted.

"Hehmm...as I was saying," Steeler started, ignoring Dr. Pryce. "I have been informed that the student, Chris, is behind it. But---"

"Ha, should've known a Slifer would do this, now we can get rid of one," Dr. Pryce interupted again.

"Hold on. I've been informed from his friends that he has been possessed by a dark spirit of some sort," Steeler said.

"You would believe a biased party? Especially with a tale that ridiculous?" Dr. Pryce scoffed.

"For once, I'm with Pryce on this," Prof. Zimmern said. A few others nodded in agreement.

"I understand that it seems far-fetched, but do you think Chris would do anything like that himself?" Steeler asked.

Some of them sat there for a minute, thinking. Then, Prof. Langston answered. "Based on what I've seen from him, no I don't think he would do that." The others nodded to that, except Dr. Pryce.

"Oh, come on! Of course his dorm advisor would protect him," Dr. Pryce said.

Steeler ignored her again. "Very well. At this moment, I have Campus Security searching for him, but so far, nothing."

"Shouldn't you be able to track his P.D.A?" Prof. Williams asked.

"We've tried that, but they found it in his room. Well, this meeting is adjourned. Everyone can go back to their dorm," Steeler said. All the staff got up and left, leaving Steeler to his thoughts.

"So, they still haven't found anything?" Marcus asked Jacob as he walked out of the Security building.

"No, nothing," Jacob answered sadly.

"You know, maybe we should look for him," Hazel said.

"Actually, that's not a bad idea. The only problem is...where would we start?" Zack said.

"Dunno," Hazel said, shrugging her shoulders.

"Let's split up and see if we find anything," Marcus offered.

"I don't know if it's a good idea to split up," Jacob said.

"Don't worry, we can send a signal through our P.D.A's if we find anything," Marcus said.

"All right," Jacob said. The four then went in different directions.

Dusk's Hideout...

"This is perfect. They've split up and are looking for me. Oh, they couldn't have made this easier," Dusk said. He walked over to a table and looked over something. "I need a few more to complete my goal. They'll be perfect for this. So, in reality, they'll be helping me."

Dusk started to laugh evily as plans formed in his head.

"Have you found anything yet?" Jacob asked over the P.D.A.

"No, nothing yet," Zack answered, looking down at Jacob's face.

"Well...if you find anything, don't forget to call us," Jacob said.

"Yes, I know," Zack said as the video feed cut.

They had been searching for almost two hours and had still found nothing. Zack was getting closer to the volcano, sitting at the bottom as he waited for Hazel. They had decided to pair up, Hazel with Zack and Jacob with Marcus.

"It's starting to get dark. Hazel needs to hurry so that she isn't alone in the forest," Zack said to himself.

"You should probably worry more about yourself," someone said from behind him.

Zack turned around quickly. "Chris! Where's Jamie?!"

Dusk shook his head. "How long will it take you humans to realize I'm not Chris?! And to answer your question...you'll find out if you defeat me in a duel."

Shadows swirled around them as a pitch-black duel disk formed on Dusk's arm. Zack activated his duel disk.

"If I have to beat you to get an answer...so be it," Zack said.

"You're a brave one. It'll be all the more sweeter when I take your soul," Dusk said, his duel disk activating.

Dusk: 8000

Zack: 8000

"Arrogant much," Zack said, drawing. "I'll begin by summoning a monster in defense and placing a facedown. That's all." A horizontal and a vertical card appeared in front of Zack.

"I draw," Dusk said, looking over his cards. "I'll summon Lancer Dragonute in attack mode!"

A pure green dragon with a horn on its head appeared, holding a green lance. (4/1500/1800)

"Now, Lancer Dragonute will attack your defense, and since it does damage through defense, you still take damage!" Dusk said.

Lancer Dragonute flew forward and stabbed its lance into Zack's defense monster, revealing a Proto-Cyber Dragon (3/1100/600) and destroying it.

Dusk: 8000

Zack: 7100

"My move," Zack said, wincing slightly. "First, I activate my face-down, Call of the Haunted, allowing me to bring back my Proto-Cyber Dragon!"

The low-tech version of Cyber Dragon slithered out of the ground. (3/1100/600)

"Now I activate Polymerization, allowing me to fuse the Cyber Dragon in my hand with the Proto-Cyber Dragon on my field to create Cyber Twin Dragon!" Zack said as the two dragons started to merge together. A two headed Cyber Dragon was noon Zack's field. (8/2800/2100)

"Cyber Twin, First powered Core!" Zack yelled. Cyber Twin Dragon's first head powered a beam of electricity, then shot it at Lancer Dragonute, destroying it.

Dusk: 6700

Zack: 7100

"Now my dragon will attack again. Second Powered Core!" Zack said. Cyber Twin Dragon's second head shot a powered beam at Dusk. Dusk was hit, causing him to step back as smoke rose from his clothes.

Dusk: 3500

Zack: 7100

"That's all for now," Zack said, motioning for Dusk to go.

Dusk drew and smirked. "First, I'll summon Debris Dragon in attack mode!" A dragon that looked like a miniature Stardust Dragon appeared on the field. (4/1000/2000) "Next, I activate the spell, Double Summon. This card allows me to summon another monster this turn. Even though I despise using this humans cards, I summon Armed Dragon LV3!"

A small yellow dragon with silver armor appeared on the field, cowering in fear of Cyber Twin Dragon. (3/1200/900)

"Of course, they won't be here for long. I tune Debris Dragon to Armed Dragon LV3," Dusk started. The two dragons flew into the air as Debris Dragon turned into four rings of light. The rings surrounded Armed Dragon LV3 as it turned into three orbs of light. In a flash, a purple hunchback dragon with red wings and frilled neck took the other dragon's place. "...to synchro summon Exploder Dragonwing (7/2400/1600)!"

'Synchro Summon? They just recently brought those out, but I haven't tried them yet, so I don't know how powerful they are,' Zack thought.

"I'll equip Exploder Dragonwing with Dark Dragon's Soul. By paying 1000 life points, I can remove a Dark Attribute dragon from my graveyard, and my Exploder Dragonwing's attack is increased by that monster's attack...permanately," Dusk said. He took Lancer Dragonute out of his graveyard and put it in his cloak. An image of Lancer Dragonute appeared behind Exploder Dragonwing before being sucked into it. Exploder Dragonwing roared as it was covered by a dark aura and grew bigger. (7/2400/1600 - 7/3900/1600)

Dusk: 2500

Zack: 7100

"Now, my dragon will attack. However, its special ability kicks in. I can destroy the monster that Exploder Dragonwing attacks without damage calculation if my opponent's monster has an attack that is equal or lower than my Dragonwing, then you take damage equal to your monster's attack," Dusk explained.

Exploder Dragonwing shot a dark orb at Cyber Twin Dragon. The orb touched Cyber Twin and exploded, blasting Zack's monster to pixels and knocking him backwards. "I'll finish with a facedown."

Dusk: 2500

Zack: 4300

Zack stood back up. 'This isn't good. Any monster I summon will be destroyed...unless' he thought, drawing a card and looking over them. 'Yeah, that will work.'

"My move," Zack said. "And I'll activate Pot of Greed!"

The familiar grinning green pot appeared in front of Zack. It burst into pixels as Zack drew. He smiled.

"Looks like I'm gonna get my answer," Zack said.

"Oh yeah? Humor me," Dusk said.

"Sure. First, I activate the spell Future Fusion. By sending monsters in my deck to the graveyard that are listed on one of my fusion monsters, I'll be able to summon that monster in two turns," Zack explained, taking eight cards from his deck and putting them in his graveyard.

"You don't have two turns left," Dusk sneered.

"I know, that's why I'm activating this," Zack said, flipping the card around, revealing Overload Fusion. Dusk's eyes widened slightly. "From your look, you know what this does, so I won't waste time explaining it. I summon Chimeratech Overdragon!"

The images of two Cyber Dragons, Cyber Barrier Dragon, Cyber Laser Dragon, Cyber Kirin, Cyber Phoenix, Proto-Cyber Dragon, and Heavy Mech Support Platform appeared behind him and melded together. Appearing on the field was a big machine, then his Future Fusion disappeared. (9/?/?)

"My Chimeratech Overdragon's attack and defense are determined by the number of monsters used in its fusion times 800," Zack said. Eight head caame out of the machine and roared at Dusk and his Dragonwing. (9/?/? - 9/6400/6400)

"Chimeratech, attack his Exploder Dragonwing!" Zack yelled. One of Chimeratech's heads started to gather energy. It was about to shoot it at Exploder Dragonwing when it was stopped by a seal appearing on its body. "What the---"

"My Spellbinding Circle is what," Dusk said. "Now your Chimeratech can't attack."

"Damn," Zack groweld. "I'll put a card face-down and end my turn."

"So close too. Now it's my turn," Dusk said, smirking. "I activate Allure of Darkness. Now, by discarding a Dark Attribute monster, I can draw two cards. And, since the monster I discarded was Dark Doubler, I can draw two more cards." Dusk drew four cards as his deck was covered in darkness.

"I will activate the spell, Hammer Shot. This card destroys the monster with the highest attack on the field," Dusk said. A huge hammer came down on Chimeratech Overdragon, smashing it to bits.

"Finally, I will activate Dark Rebirth. By paying 500 life points, I can revive a Level 2 or lower Dark Attribute monster from my graveyard. So say hello to Dark Doubler!" Dusk said. A small black creature with fangs popped up next to Exploder Dragonwing. It had a shadow that moved on its own. (1/200/300)

Dusk: 2000

Zack: 4300

"However, introductions will have to be short because I sacrifice Dark Doubler to summon Kiryu!" Dusk chuckled. Dark Doubler faded as a red snake-like dragon flew onto the field. (5/2000/1500) "Exploder Dragonwing, direct attack the human!"

Exploder Dragonwing sent another dark orb at Zack. It almost reached him, but was then bounced back. It touched Dragonwing and exploded, destroying both of Dusk's monsters.

"What did you do human?!" Dusk asked angrily.

"I activated my Mirror Force, reflecting your attack," Zack answered.

Dusk growled. "End turn."

Zack drew. "I set a monster and end my turn."

Dusk picked up his top card. "I summon Axe Dragonute, then equip him with Dark Spear. Dark Spear can only be equipped to a Dark Attribute monster, giving them 300 attack and a piercing effect."

A dragon with dark purple armor appeared in front of Dusk, holding a huge axe. The axe transformed into a black spear with tendrils. (4/2000/1200 - 4/2300/1200) "Axe Dragonute will destroy your defense!"

Axe Dragonute flew forward and stabbed through Zack's defense, revealing Armored Cybern (4/0/2000) and destroying it.

Dusk: 2000

Zack: 4000

"Since my Dragonute attacked, it changes to defense mode. End turn."

"I'll set a monster and place a card facedown," Zack said.

"You shoudn't have put a monster in defense. I summon Koumori Dragon," Dusk said. A purple dragon flew onto the field, (4/1500/1200). "Now, Axe Dragonute will destroy your defense and Koumori Dragon will attack you directly!"

Axe Dragonute destroyed Zack's set Heavy Mech and Koumori Dragon shot a fireball at Zack. Zack cried out in pain as his life poins went down. Axe Dragonute crouched back down into defense mode.

Dusk: 2000

Zack: 700

"Draw!" Zack said. "I summon Cyber Warrior of the Wasteland and attack your Axe Dragonute!"

A huge warrior with brown metal plating rose to the field (4/1850/1300). It raised its arm and a energy sword slid out as it charged at Axe Dragonute. It slashed Axe Dragonute in half.

Dusk growled as he drew. "I set a monster in defense and switch Koumori Dragon to defense. That's all...for now."

"Cyber Warrior, destroy his Koumori Dragon!" Zack said. Zack's warrior jumped at Koumori Dragon and slashed it in half. "Your move."

Dusk drew and burst into evil laughter. "You should have destroyed my other monster. HAHA! Now your mistake will cost you your soul. I sacrifice my facedown monster, Dark Effigy (4/1500/0), to summon Diabolos, King of the Abyss!"

Dark Effigy faded away into a dark puddle. Then, Diabolos rose out of the puddle and roared at Zack. (7/2800/1000)

"Now Diabolos, destroy that human and win me his soul!" Dusk yelled. Diabolos roared again as it flew at Zack's warrior. Diabolos slashed throughit and destroyed it, knocking Zack to the ground, his soul floating toward Dusk.

Dusk: 2000

Zack: 0000

Dusk captured the soul and was about to walk away when he heard a noise. Coming out of the forest was Hazel.

"Zack? Are you there?" Hazel called out. She then noticed Dusk. "You!"

'Damn, another one. I don't know if I have the strength for another battle right now,' Dusk thought.

"Girl, if I were you, I would leave now," Dusk said threateningly.

"No, I'm going to help Chris come back...because he helped me," Hazel said, activating her duel disk.

"I have no quarrel with you. So I'll give you one last chance to leave now," Dusk said.

"Sorry, but I'm not leaving until Chris is back," Hazel said.

"Very well, I gave you your chance," Dusk said, activating his duel disk as the shadows once again fell over the field. 'I'll have to use my powers this time and make it quick.'

"Duel!" Hazel said.

Dusk: 8000

Hazel: 8000

"I'll go first," Hazel said. "I summon The Creator Incarnate. Then, I'll sacrifice it to special summon The Creator!"

A huge mechanical red warrior with wings and a circle piece appeared on the field in front of Hazel. (8/2300/3000)

"I'll end for now," Hazel said.

Dusk drew and smiled. "I'll set a monster in defense and place a card facedown. End turn."

"My move," Hazel said as she drew. "First, I activate Tribute to the Doomed. By discarding a card, I can destroy one monster on your field!" She discarded a card as hands with wrappings shot out of the ground, pulling Dusk's set card into the ground.

"The monster you destroyed was Dark Striker (2/700/1000), when this card is destroyed by a card effect, you take 1000 points of damage," Dusk said, placing his monster in the graveyard.

Dusk: 8000

Hazel: 7000

"Now I activate Battery Charger. I can pay 500 life points to special summon a "Batteryman" monster from my graveyard," Hazel said. A cylinder-like creature with arms and legs came out of the ground, electricity flowing around it (3/1000/1000). "I sacrifice my Batteryman AA to summon my Super-Electromagnetic Voltech Dragon!"

A mechanical t-rex withruby eyes and electricity took the place of Batteryman AA. (5/2400/1000) "My Voltech Dragon gains a certain bonus depending on which Batteryman I sacrifice for it."

Dusk: 8000

Hazel: 6500

"Well, what does AA give it?" Dusk asked lazily.

"It gives my Voltech Dragon a 1000 attack point boost!" Hazel said. Batteryman AA reappeared and connected to Voltech Dragon, causing the electricity to increase and the dragon to grow bigger. (5/2400/1000 - 5/3400/1000) "Now I'll activate my Creator's ability. Once per turn, I can discard a card to revive a monster from my graveyard, so I'll bring back The Creator Incarnate!"

A red clad warrior with a pointed hat, yellow armor, red cape, and red sword. (4/1600/1500)

"Now, all my monsters will attack you directly!" Hazel said.

Dusk chuckled evily. "You just made a big mistake. This mistake will cost you your soul. Reveal trap, Reversal! This trap requires me to pay all but 1000 life points, but in return, all damage that I was to take this turn is dealt to my opponent instead."

"That means--" Hazel's eyes widened.

"Exactly! You lose!" Dusk said, lauging.

A barrier appeared in front of Dusk. When Hazel's monsters hit it, they flipped around and attacked Hazel instead.

Dusk: 1000

Hazel: 0000

"I lost...so fast," Hazel said before her eyes clouded and her soul floated over to Dusk.

"Well, aren't I lucky. Two souls in one night," Dusk said, chuckling. He started to walk away when he heard a beeping noise. He noticed that it was coming from Zack's shirt pocket. Dusk pulled out Zack's P.D.A and answered it.

"Hello...Jacob was it?" Dusk asked.

"Dusk! Where's Zack?" Jacob asked angrily.

"Oh he's in good hands, don't worry about that," Dusk answered, smirking.

"Grr, Dusk let them go!" Jacob yelled.

"How about this? You meet me at midnight tonight and we duel. If you win, I'll give your friends and leave you alone, but if I win, I get yours and your other friends soul. Do we have a deal?" Dusk said.

"Deal. Also, if I win, you give control back to Chris and never bother us again," Jacob said.

"You play a hard bargain, but okay. Meet me at the volcano at midnight....just you and your friend, no one else, or the deal is off," Dusk said. He shut off the P.D.A. "Just a little while longer, and my plan will be complete!"

Chris's Mindscape...

"Chris, this is our chance. While Dusk duels Jacob, we'll stop him and get rid of Dusk for good," Drake said.

Chris stood up, the chains now gone, and rubbed his wrists. "Okay, I'm ready when that time comes."

"Good, now we wait," Drake said.

A/N: That's all for Chapter 6. Thanks again to the reviewers who have created OC's for my use, and the OC submission is still in effect, so send them in. Anyway, that's all for now. *Spoiler...not entirely* As you can tell from the end of this chapter, the "Dusk" arc is almost over. Anyhow, FFD, signin out!
