"Just when you think things can't get any worse." said Jaden "It's bad enough that Billy Jobs is back, even worse now that he's got his hands on the Sacred Beast cards."
"Jaden you've beaten the cards before, you can beat them again." said Alexis.
"The first time it was because Banner left me Sabatiel The Philosopher's Stone, but that card's gone, and the second time I fought them I only won because I had Jesse there to help me, and that lunatic said this duel was going to be one on one."
Suddenly everyone heard a helicopter flying overhead, someone was landing on the island.
"Oh great, what now?"
"Wait a minute… That's the Industrial Illusions logo!"
"Industrial Illusions? Could it be…"
Within moments of the copter's landing someone came running out.
"Jaden!"
"Chumley! What are you doing here?!"
"Incase you've forgotten Billy Jobs is broadcasting this whole thing around the world, it's on every station, as soon as I heard that the bombs were fake I came right over… Is that your daughter?"
"Yeah, that's little Sakura… but now's really not the time for introductions."
"I know, you've got a big duel coming up, but don't worry, I've prepared something for just such an emergency."
"You're prepared for Billy Jobs, back from the dead, and armed with the Sacred Beast cards?" asked Chazz.
"That is correct."
"How do you plan for that?"
"Uh… lucky guess. As I was saying, you better take these."
Chumley handed Jaden eight cards, and they smelled brand new.
(Yes there is a smell, I'd know it anywhere)
"Fresh off the press, each of them one of a kind, I made them just for you."
"Wow… Thanks Chumley, you're a real life saver."
"Attention Jaden Yuki. If you are not at the arena in fifteen minutes, you're disqualified!" said Elizabeth over the P.A.
"We better get over there; I'll add these babies to my deck on the way."
When Jaden and the others made it to the volcano they found a tunnel that wasn't there before, they followed it until they came to the stadium Billy spoke of.
"Okay… of all his insane ideas, this one takes the cake." said Zane.
The arena was suspended over the lava and stone seats filled with the students who had already arrived lined the walls. Etched into the walls of the volcano were skulls and images of the three Sacred Beasts. There was also a huge scoreboard with a big TV screen.
"Nice, cozy, cheerful." said Aster.
In the middle of the arena was wooden coffin, as soon as Jaden entered the arena a light shone on it.
"Ladies and gentlemen… the new Billy Jobs!" said Elizabeth.
The coffin lid slowly opened, but the person who came out didn't look anything like the Billy Jobs Jaden remembered. Billy Jobs was small thin boy with glasses and red hair, this guy looked like a Z Fighter from Dragon Ball Z.
"Is that… him?" asked Syrus.
"If it is, he must be on steroids or something." said Chazz.
"Don't let my new look fool you Jaden, I am the one and only Billy Jobs. But thanks to the efforts of my dear Elizabeth I have a much better body. Now I have the three B's for the perfect life. Brains, brawn, and bucks."
"Yes, but can you dance?" asked Atticus.
Billy stood in the middle of the spotlight and started to do an Irish river dance.
"Yes."
"Wow."
"I finally have everything I need to live happily ever after, just me and my Elizabeth… I just have to do one thing…"
"Listen to me Bill, I'm only going to say this once. You don't want to mess with those Sacred Beast cards. You're playing with fire!"
"Jaden, I've been playing with fire since I was a little boy. Besides, the beasts and I have so much in common, we both hate you. And you should be glad; this time the only thing on the line is your life. Now let's get this show on the road."
"Attention ladies and gentlemen!" said Elizabeth "The one on one duel to the death between Jaden Yuki, and the brilliant Billy Jobs is about to begin! The crowd is going wild with anticipation!"
"Yay…"
It had been a long night, and most of the students, teachers, and alumni were tired.
"Louder!"
"Yay…"
"Louder!"
"Yay…"
"Oooiiieee…" said Billy slapping his forehead.
"What's oooiiieee?" asked Jaden.
"You know, it's the thing you say when you feel stupid."
"No that's d'oh."
"Whatever, let's just duel."
Jaden and Billy activated their duel disks.
"Let's duel!"
"Since you're at a disadvantage in so many ways Jaden, I'll let you go first."
"Fine with me! I play the spell card Convert Contact! Since there I no monsters on my field I can send one Neo-Spacian from my hand and one from my deck to the graveyard, then I get to draw two cards. Next I'll summon Elemental Hero Lady Heat!"
(ATK: 1300 DEF: 1000)
"I'll end my turn with a face down, and during my end phase Lady Heat's effect activates, causing you to lose 200 life points for every Elemental Hero I have out."
(Billy: 3800)
"Nice job Sarge!" said Hassleberry "The first blood is yours!"
"Yes, but the duel will be mine." said Billy "I think I'll just place three cards face down."
"Three face down cards but no Sacred Beast?" asked Syrus.
"Maybe he hasn't drawn one yet." said Blair.
"Let's hope so, in the meantime it's Jaden's turn."
"Let's see… If I'm lucky I can wipe Bill out this turn." thought Jaden "I summon Elemental Hero Heat in attack mode!"
(ATK: 1600 DEF: 1200)
"Elemental Hero Heat gains 200 attack points for every Elemental Hero I have out, and right now there are two!"
(ATK: 2000)
"Next I play H – Heated Heart, so Hero Heat gains another 500 attack points!"
(ATK: 2500)
"Elemental Hero Heat, attack him directly!"
"Not so fast Jaden, I activate the trap card Gravity Bind!"
"Oh great…"
"That's right, as long as this continuous trap card is on the field, monsters that are level 4 or higher can't attack."
"Well, I guess I'll just throw down a face down. And since there are two Elemental Heroes on the field, Lady Heat inflicts 400 points of damage to your life points."
(Billy: 3400)
"It's my turn, and I activate my two face down Solemn Wishes trap cards! Since I have two of these, whenever I draw from my deck, like right now, I gain 1000 life points!"
(Billy: 4400)
"Now I play the spell card Hand Destruction, this forces us both to discard two cards from our hands, then we draw two cards from our decks. And since I just drew from my deck again, I gain another 1000 life points!"
(Billy: 5400)
"And now I sacrifice my three traps cards in order to summon the first Sacred Beast, Uria Lord of Searing Flames!"
(ATK: 0 DEF: 0)
All the students and alumni who had never seen a Sacred Beast before gasped as Uria rose up out of the lava.
"As I'm sure you know, Uria gains 1000 attack points for every continuous trap card in my graveyard. I sent two there when I played Hand Destruction, and I sent three more to summon him."
(ATK: 5000)
"Next I activate the continuous spell card Archfiend's Oath, once a turn I can pay 500 life points to use this card. If I do I can guess the card at the top of my deck, if I'm right it goes to my hand, if not it goes to the graveyard."
"Well what are the odds of that?"
"Pretty good, once I play this."
"What is that?!"
"The continuous spell card Convulsion of Nature! Now we're both required to flip our decks upside down!"
"Upside down? What's the point in that?" asked Jaden.
"You are slow on uptake. Now we'll always know what card we're going to draw next!"
"Oh boy."
"I pay 500 life points to activate Archfiend's Oath!"
(Billy: 4900)
"The card is Vengeful Bog Spirit."
"That's another continuous spell card." thought Jaden "If Billy draws Hamon he'll have everything he needs to summon it… I can't let that happen."
"I activate Uria's special ability, and I'll use it to destroy one of your face down cards."
Uria blew away one of Jaden's cards.
"Now Uria, attack Lady Heat! Hyper Blaze!"
"Not so fast Bill! I activate Hero Barrier! If there's an Elemental Hero on the field, I can use this card to negate one of your attacks!"
"Err… You've only postponed the inevitable Jaden, one way or another, I will be the one who stands victorious!"
"Yay…" said the audience sarcastically.
"I can't hear you!"
"Yay…"
"The next time I want to be alone, I'll call you guys." said Billy.
