Chapter 9 Desert Peril: A quest To Save Blair

"So the plan is set; make sure you gain control of the student bodies minds. It does not matter if you get Brett's friends; but make sure you have an army ready." Yubel agreed to 2's scheme; he was enjoying having partner who had promised him whatever he could desire. "How quick we forgot our promise" Adrian said; he entered the room with a very displeased look. "You had a promise with me to share your power with me!"

"You want power do you? I do not know who you are; but perhaps you could be of some aid to our plan. And the rewards shall be what ever you desire." Adrian was intrigued by 2's proposal; "What exactly would you have me do, and to who?" 2 turned away before responding to Adrian's question. "You must get Brett away from this place. If he catches wind of my plan; then he will give me no quarter. I must have everything perfectly ready for his death to be certain."

"What is so special about that kid anyway?" Adrian questioned again; refusing to be left out of the loop again. "It does not matter so long as we accomplish our goal. Serve us Adrian; and whatever you desire you shall obtain. Even massive amounts of power." 2 turned to him; "follow them and make sure they leave Duel Academy. That girl's injury will give us the opportunity we need. Send them on a search for aid, it matters not if the others goals succeed. Just make sure Brett leaves with you."

"Very well, we have a deal but do not forget your promise;" Adrian left after finishing his statement. "Make sure once they leave you start gaining an army of duelists with monsters." Yubel smiled while he responded; "one army of dueling zombies will be easy to obtain. Make sure you and your magic is ready; and do not forget my deal with you."

Jaden and all of his friends had left to try and obtain permission from Crowler. All of them had found out from Adrian that there was a submarine hidden in the desert and it would no doubt have first aid aboard; everyone went to convince the professor except for Brett. He stood beside Blair watching her breathe heavily; her condition appeared to worsened every second. Brett was angry but still in control; he had almost lost it earlier due to his rage, but none of that was important right now.

Mrs. Fontaine approached Brett's side; "she will be ok Brett." Brett just stared at Blair "there's no need to lie. I heard what you said earlier, her condition will only get worse. DAMMIT! I should have been there to protect her." Mrs. Fontaine saw how much pain Brett was in; she could only try and comfort him. "It's not your fault Brett, you had no idea this would happen."

A ghostly figure appeared across the bed; 2 appeared before him smiling. "To bad you cannot help her; you have the ability, but not the knowledge of how to use your abilities." Brett looked at him, "what are you talking about?" Mrs. Fontaine try to tell Brett to not listen; but Brett was too focused on this new man. "Perhaps I should aid you with this; if you were to remove that scar, she would suffer less."

"How? Tell me now!" Brett yelled. "Place your hand over the scar, and focus your thoughts on saving her." Brett did just that removing the blanket, before placing his hand over the scar. Mrs. Fontaine expressed concern; she told Brett to stop and not do something so rash. Brett ignored her words; he focused his thoughts, and then the scar faded from existence and from Blair's arm.

"Heroic foul, you continue to make my job easier. Have fun paying for your heroic nonsense." 2 finished speaking; he offered an evil laugh before he vanished into a swirling black portal. 2 reappeared in front of Yubel; "the mark is on him. You may begin to weaken him." Soon as the scar faded from Blair; Brett found himself clutching his left arm in pain. Mrs. Fontaine removed Brett's sweater revealing the scar was now on Brett's arm causing him pain.

Brett's ears perked up, he could hear someone approaching. Brett put his sweater back on turning to Mrs. Fontaine; "not a word to anyone; ok?" Mrs. Fontaine agreed despite her rising concern for Brett. Jaden came bursting in the door; "we got the green light to go Brett. Well be back soon with all the medicine and supplies we need."

Adrian came through the door; almost on cue to Jaden's words. He immediately confirmed his presence with his words. "I'm coming as well." Jaden looked over; "you sure? You were not looking to good a short while ago."

"Trust me I'm fine; but you should come as well Brett. I mean were going to need as much help as we can get. I mean we cannot really risk anything happening out there to the medicine. Blair will be fine with Mrs. Fontaine, so stop worrying and come lend a hand." Jaden looked to Brett; Brett responded to Adrian's statement after he thought about his words. "You're right Adrian I cannot stay here and just wait. Mrs. Fontaine make sure Blair is safe for me; please let me do this to redeem myself to her."

Mrs. Fontaine watched Brett leave; she could easily tell Brett's arm was causing him a lot of pain. All three boys left the infirmary; soon they would leave Duel Academy for the Submarine. Mrs. Fontaine walked over to Blair; she put her hand on Blair's forehead. Blair's fever seamed to be much lower then before; she still needed the medicine aboard the submarine to pull through. "Blair; I hope you know how lucky you are to have him. I just pray he stops putting him self in so much danger. Brett; you always save Blair from harm; but if you die then you will hurt her far more then any villain ever could."

Jaden, Brett, and Adrian left for the entrance to meet up with Jim, Axel, and Jesse. Brett and the others were now all at the gate. Jaden looked at Chazz, Hasleberry, Syrus, and Alexis who were staying behind. "You guys look after the school and we will be back shortly with all that we can get."

2 and Yubel looked on from a high level of the school; "now that Adrian is watching those fools I can concentrate on making our army of duelist slaves." 2 looked down upon Brett with a large smirk across his face. "Yes things are going as I expected. Before you go off to have a little fun setting up part 2 of this plan; send Brett and those fools a small going away present. We will do everything we can to ware him down before the final fight."

Jaden, Brett, Jim, Jesse, Axel, and Adrian, all set out for the submarine in the middle of the desert. They walked over the sand dunes; the heat of the three suns was the same intensity that they experienced the day before. Axel began to drop PDA's leaving a trail that they could track back to the school. Brett however was still clutching his left arm where the scar was; the pain emanating felt like acid in his arm.

Jaden looked back at Brett; he noticed Brett was falling behind. "Brett you ok what's holding you back. You think you would be leading this." Brett just smiled to Jaden trying not to let on how much pain he was in. "Nothing, stop worrying about me and let's keep moving ok." Jim went back besides Brett "that is the worst lie I have ever heard mate. You still are just as bad of a liar as when we met; now what seems to be the trouble with your arm." "Seriously guys stop worrying about me, there's nothing wrong and we have bigger problems." Brett continued to smile; still content on lying to his friends so he could keep the truth hidden.

Everyone in the group stopped and turned around to look at Brett. Axel looked at him "out with it. Tell us now or we are not moving, you have been holding that arm since we left Duel Academy. If you have something to tell us; and you do then tell us now." Brett conceded to his friends; he removed his sweater revealing the scar on his arm. Jaden got in close staring at the scar; it was very familiar to him, and then he realized why. "That looks exactly like Blair's scar, when did you get that?" Brett paused for a few moments before coming clean; "I took Blair's, I'm not sure how but I wished it, and it happened."

"You should have told us sooner, we need to know this. Your weakness could cost people their lives;" Axel sounded very aggravated with Brett's deception. "It's ok Axel calm down; Brett you still ok to keep going" Jesse asked as Brett quickly responded "I'm fine; I promise I will not hold us back and that I will be my own burden."

They continued to walk; but this time Brett kept up walking at a much faster pace, though still holding his arm. They came over the next ridge; Jaden could see the submarine imbedded in the sand. Jaden ran towards the submarine; till a giant sinkhole opened up underneath him. Jaden began to be sucked into the sinkhole; yelling at the top of his lungs. Axel quickly got out a rope; tying it around him self. Axel tossed the other end of the rope to Adrian before he leapt into the sinkhole grabbing Jaden.

Adrian thought for a second about letting go of the rope when Yubel sent him a telepathic message; but Jim grabbed hold of the rope. "You almost let go there." Jim said to him as Adrian was quick to respond. "Sorry; must still be weak from that duel."

Then when the group was in enough danger already; a tall small stone pillar raised from the middle of the sink hole. "So you all have made it this far but you shall go no further;" said the mysterious creature rising out of the sink hole; his duel disk readied itself. Brett knew this duel monster "So you want to duel, what does a Rock Spirit monster want with us. Forget it, I'll duel you!"

"You have to learn when to concede boy; I have no intention of dueling you. You are going down thanks to that scar on your arm." The spirit monster clenched his hand;and Brett's arm began to burn. The pain was now excruciating, a thousand times worse then before; causing Brett to drop to his knees. Jesse jumped in yelling; "You will leave us alone; I'll duel you!"

Brett was helpless; the pain crippled him completely, so much that he could barely think. Jesse quickly defeated the Rock Spirit with the crystal beast cards. Jim and Adrian pulled Axel and Jaden to safety; Brett recovered after the spirits defeat. Jesse's bio band sucked more energy from him. The scar's pain disappeared almost completely; Brett stood up rushing over to his friends. "You guys ok?" Brett asked. Everyone's attention turned to him; Jim was quick to question Brett. "The question is are you alright? You were down on the ground in pain a minute ago; you looked like you were dying." Brett shook his head; "I'm fine now; we should get moving before anything else comes after us."

Brett took off running to the submarine; each of the group of duelists entered through the top hatch of the sub. The group decided on who was going where and for what; but Brett heard whispers coming from down the hallway. Brett slipped away while the others were still deciding on who was getting what; not noticing Brett's absence till he disapeard into the shadows.

Brett found him self in the middle of the submarines infirmary. Brett was almost drawn to a cabinet by a mysterious force. Brett grabbed a bottle of medicine before everything slowly went dark.

Brett woke to find him self back in the same white room when he last lost consciousness. Nothing but white surrounded him till a pool of dark energy came from nowhere. From the dark ball of energy, emerged silver metallic wings. They looked more like a structure of wings then actual wings. Then a body emerged; a man came forth with hair as black as the night. A mask was across his face and his arms looked like he was in a straight jacket.

Brett could feel a dark aura infecting him; this man reeked of darkness and was no doubt the thing that spoke to Brett the last time he lost consciousness. "So Brett; you have came to fight for the girls life? It is too bad you cannot possibly win this fight by yourself." Brett looked at the stranger; he was completely unaware if he was friend or foe. "What do you mean?"

"Right now you are being targeted by another evil that intends to claim you for its own purposes. I cannot allow this to happen to you; your true power has been starting to awaken; but at too slow a rate. I cannot last against your light; but I can tell you if you think only of protecting others, then you will be victorious."

Brett did not trust this stranger one bit. "Why would you help me; you do not look the kind of person who would be my friend." The strange man with the mask head rotated around in a circle while he spoke. "I am part of you; I was ordered here to aid you by someone who values your life. I only have appeared now because you need me. I cannot allow you to die or I will die as well. Just remember to think only about protecting others and you shall be fine. Your power has awakened; now Brett wake up!"

"Brett wake up; you ok?" Jesse questioned as Brett slowly came to. "Looks like you went off in a hurry to find the medicine, well don't worry it's all in the case over there so we can get out of here. How's that scar treating you?" Brett slowly got up by him self; Jesse gave him room by getting out of his way "It's fine, it does not even hurt anymore. I'm not sure entirely why."

Brett removed his sweater and the scar was still there. Brett just shook his head; "let's go Blair is waiting for this medicine and I'm ready for anything." The others were already at the entrance to the sub; and had all achieved their goals. Brett ran right by them; shouting to all of them. "Come on guys let's get back to Duel Academy" Jesse followed behind Brett; more then a few seconds back. "He sure rebounded huh. Brett was already out side the sub; he searched the area as he saw another Rock Spirit with a duel disk.

Brett jumped off the sub and down to the sand below; he set his duel disk in place. "Let's try this again." "You never learn do you boy" as the Spirit clenched his fist; this time though it had no effect on Brett; he stood proud and tall waiting to start the duel. "You are you going to continue to waste my time! Let's duel!"

The spirit monster got angry and started the duel; he summoned a Sand Doodlebug. The creature began to cause the submarine to sink into the sand. Brett drew six cards and confidently spoke out loud. "You shall not succeed; someone's life is depending on me and my friends. And it is unlucky for you that she is more important to me then anything else. I summon my Red Eyes Black Chick as I activate its effect; changing it into my Red Eyes Black Dragon. But I'm not done; I now special summon my Red Eyes Darkness Dragon by sending my Red Eyes Black Dragon to the grave. Red Eyes get that sub and save my friends!"

"Fool now you are wide open!" the spirit creature said overconfidently as Brett smiled back. "I'm not done, and I'm not letting my friends get hurt either, because now I activate my Black Luster Ritual allowing me to summon my Black Luster Soldier. You see I summoned my dragon first so he could save the sub; but I had no intention of leaving myself open. And now Red Eyes Darkness and Black Luster finish his monster and get rid of him."

The dragon fired a blast of dark fire as the dragon's fire was blocked by a sandstorm; the soldier jumped through the barrier, destroying the Doodlebug. "That was pretty good but I think I shall play my Book of the Moon putting your Dragon face down defense position.

The dragon disappeared and the submarine came crashing down to the ground; Brett looked onwards as the sub came crashing down. "The guys are not going to like that one bit." "You should focus on yourself; I play one monster face down and place two more traps face down."

"Hope you were not going to end this with those traps, because I'm done with you. I play my newly drawn card. I activate my Heavy Storm magic card destroying your traps. Now I re-summon my dragon, in attack mode, and now finish this duel!" The dragon and soldier destroyed the face down monster before destroying the spirit.

Brett breathed a sigh of relief; he ran back to the submarine and he jumped down the hatch. Jaden and the others were all in a pile on the floor from the impact of the submarine crashing to the ground. Brett helped each one up; he then checked the med kit, inspecting all of the medicine. "The medicine is alright; let's go guys, now!" Brett began forcing the others up out of the submarine hatch and into the desert.

They were now all out side; Brett looked at them wondering if they were indeed fine. "You guys good to go?" They all nodded; Brett handed off the medicine to Jesse; he spoke to Jesse like he was slightly different. "I'll scout ahead; I entrust the medicine with you." The others talked about why Brett had done a bit of a change in personality; but Brett waved to them yelling to them. "Come on guys, we got people depending on us!"

Eventually they were able to see the school; they closed in on their target when a loud roar billowed in the sky. Brett turned to see a Red Eyes Black dragon flying towards them and the school. Brett gritted his teeth; he ran back past Jaden taking a few cards from his deck; taking his duel disk off and tossed it to Jaden. "Jaden go save Blair, leave this to me." Jaden looked back at Brett "what?" but Brett just yelled at Jaden. "don't worry, I'll be right be right behind you Jaden, please go do what you must to save her, I have no intention of dying here. I trust you guys can save her; I am the only one who can stop this creature."

Jaden and the others hesitantly left Brett behind; the Black Dragon closed in on Brett, teeth and claws bared at him. Brett looked up at it; he began to speak in a calm collected fashion. "Jaden please keep Blair safe for me. I do not know if what that dream told me was true; but I will protect the people I love to the death if I must. I will do everything I can; and I will do my very best to make it back to you Blair, but if I do not then I'm sorry. I'm sorry I cannot be there by your side."

Brett held a card to the sky; the Sword of the Seated materialized in his hand giving Brett more strength to fight. He threw another card up; this time the Megamorph spell activated. The symbol on the card appeared on Brett's forehead; he felt his strength double, his entire body pulsing with power. He then had one last card to play; he held it high as a Y Dragon Head appeared beside Brett. Brett turned to the monster; "ready?" The Y Dragon Head nodded to Brett; he took his cue and jumped onto its back.

The Dragon flew past Brett; he and the machine dragon took of behind the black dragon. The dragon had its sites set on the school. Brett was not going to let anything happen to his friends or Blair; he commanded his creature to go faster at the top of his lungs. Brett's determination was on fire, but he was in full control. Brett slowly gained distance on the dragon; closer and closer upon the dragon till he stood up and readied his blade. Brett was nearly upon the dragon when it created a sudden burst of speed; it blasted past the school.

Brett was confused, until a mighty Blue Eyes White Dragon appeared from behind the school. Brett attempted to dodge, but it was too late for him to avoid the coming attack. The dragon's tail came crashing down as Brett was sent flying into the roof of the school; he came busting through the roof, falling down into the main hallway.

Brett landed a few meters away from Jaden and a few of his friends. Brett slowly stood up; he looked around viewing Jaden and other students that acted like zombies. Brett looked back up to see the ferocious Red Eyes staring at him, right through the hole in the roof.

01unmeinotobira

Brett looked over to his friends; they were speechless from him crashing through the roof. "I told you I was right behind you guys. I'm not giving up, I will never let anything happen to anyone I care about!" A fierce light emitted from Brett's body; bathing the main hall with light. Jaden and the others shielded there eyes from the intensity wondering if he was ok.

The light faded as Brett emerged still holding his sword, but now bore two angelic wings; which shined with pure gentle light. Brett clothes were tarnished with dust and dirt from the roof rubble, and were slightly ripped. Still Brett showed no signs of weakness; Brett looked at the dragon with anger in his face.

Jaden and the others looked on in disbelief at Brett and his new wings; Jaden yelled out to Brett trying to warn him of the new dangers. "Brett be careful; the students are under someone's control." Brett looked over to his friends; "thank you Jaden. Jaden go now and save Blair, because I'm counting on you. Hope your ready to lose; no Red Eyes is going to beat me!"

Brett lifted his new wings; he sent them pushing down pushing him up through the air like a bolt of lightning. A few feathers were all that left behind from Brett. Brett blasted through the hole; he blasted past the dragon and slashed across the dragon's face. The black dragon chased after Brett; the white dragon circled looking for the perfect opportunity to strike.

Brett dodged the Red Eyes attacks, as he countered with his sword. Brett turned heading back towards the school as the Black Dragon chased him. Brett suddenly stopped and he turned slashing the dragon across the chest. He used his wings to fly high into the sky after attacking the dragon. He flew up twenty meters before collapsing his wings; he came down with incredible force on the dragon's neck. The blade cut through the neck of the dragon before it exploded into a cloud of dark smoke.

The white dragon finally had its chance; it gave no pause and fired a white lightning attack into the cloud of black dust. The beam of light ripped through the black dust, but Brett flew out of the cloud just as the beam ripped through. The Blue eyes soon gave chase to Brett, but Brett was leading him further into the desert. The dragon was faster then Brett and was gaining distance on Brett.

Brett used his wings to pull a 180; he turned heading right towards the dragon. It bared its teeth at its target and was ready to strike. Brett narrowly dodged the teeth, but he got close to the chest and took the opportunity. He slashed across the dragon's chest leaving a long scar. Brett cleared the tail as he flew towards Duel Academy.

The dragon turned bellowing a loud roar across the sky; it fired another wave of energy causing Brett to fly closer to the ground. The famous white lightning attack could finish him in one shot, and all he could do was dodge the attack. The dragon once again gave chase to Brett charging up another blast.

Brett flew close to the sand dunes not giving the dragon a clear shot; he dodged from side to side through the dunes. Brett passed another sand dune he beheld five Oni Tank T-34 tanks, but on their backs were large chain guns. Brett had barely no time to react before they began to unload loads of bullets. Brett quickly improvised using his sword to block bullets so he could get in close.

A bullet hit his elbow forcing Brett to land close to his targets by foot. Brett ran as fast as he could. He jumped up into the air when a stray bullet ripped through the side of Brett's leg. Brett overcame the pain and came down; destroying the tank with his sword with a single slash.

He quickly moved on destroying each of the other tanks; Brett was far to close of the tanks guns to be a huge threat. Brett came down on the last tank he took of like a shot as another white lightning strike plowed into the ground where he once stood. Brett looked back to see the Dragon right behind him almost upon him.

The dragon gave one last powerful push of its wings; sending it ahead of Brett. The dragon stopped and nailed Brett with its tail; sending Brett through the outside glass of Duel Academy. Brett crashed into the wall of Duel Academies' second level. Brett looked around and saw a group of Zombie duelists pounding the door to the infirmary. Brett got up running over before using his wings to create a torrent of wind; sending the duelists flying away from the entrance.

Mrs. Fontaine was trying to hold the zombies back when she heard Brett's voice. "Mrs. Fontaine are you and Blair ok?" Mrs. Fontaine shouted to Brett; confirming that they were fine for the moment. Brett turned to the window seeing the dragon hovering outside the window. He turned his head when he heard footsteps approaching; Jaden and Jesse came from around the corner carrying the Medical supplies. "Brett you ok? You look terrible."

Brett turned his attention back to the dragon; "go save her! I have to take care of that creature." Jaden and Jesse where a little surprised to see that Brett was fighting against a legendary Duel Monster, but even more surprised that he was not afraid. Fighting it in a game is one thing, but here the monsters were real.

Brett took off leaving through the hole in the glass that he had crashed through earlier. He and the dragon began attacking the other. Brett slashed at the dragon, and the dragon countered with its teeth. The dragon pulled back, launching another blast into the air to show that it was getting angry.

Brett flew back through the air; he still was in between the dragon and Duel Academy. He looked at the dragon before uttering a few short words. "I'm done with this battle; I need to be by my friends' side." He held up the Ring of Destruction trap card to the heavens above; the ring appeared around the dragon's neck, before exploding with incredible force. The blast hit Brett and sent him flying back into the building; shattering more glass with his body.

Brett crashed through the wall, and flew past Jaden; he crashed into two zombie duelists causing everyone's attention to be drawn to him except Jesse. Jesse jumped in grabbing Blair out of the bed; he pulled her to safety before part of the ceiling collapsed. Brett got up from his collision and looked at were he was and saw Blair was safe. He looked at Jaden's opponent, and was only able to find a few short words. "Mrs. Fontaine I'm sorry I could not save you." Jesse looked at Brett; he still had his wings, but his cloths were singed and had a few open wounds.

Brett ran to Blair's side; his wings light weakened, and the dark control of Yubel faded for a brief moment. Mrs. Fontaine uttered a few words, before she fell back under the dark powers control. "Jesse; Jaden, I owe you big time for this." Brett said while he picked Blair up; he moved her out of the room. The room was in bad condition and it was unsafe for anyone to be in; Brett motioned with his head to Jaden and Jesse.

Jesse and Jaden got the message as the roof looked ready to collapse. Brett set her down outside of the infirmary; he got down and kneeled beside Blair. Jesse was starting to become very concerned with Brett's lack of self preservation; he was saving his friends but he was suffering. "Brett are you ok? Seriously you took on a Blue Eyes and a Red Eyes at the same time. And now you seem to have wings; what's going on?"

Brett only was not sure him self; "I'm not sure but it is not important right now. These wings are going to help us; the gym is still safe, if so then that is our destination." Then a large explosion came from the infirmary; pushing Jaden out into the hall. The roof in the infirmary collapsed trapping who ever was still inside. Jaden slid over beside Brett, and Jaden looked at Brett before speaking like his usual self. "Nice new look, what we doing now." Brett looked down the hall and he began to speak in a determined voice. "We are going to get to the gym, where you will be safe. And we shall take the second level to avoid trouble; I just hope it is a better route."

Song Tetsujin

Jesse summoned his Topaz Tiger to carry Blair; they turned to go down the nearest hall. Brett led the group with a quickened pace; he turned down the hallway he saw a shadowed figure approaching. "You have come this far, but you shall go no further; by order of my master." The Master Monk appeared before Brett; his voice was strong and powerful. Brett motioned his friends to stay back; he loosened up tucking his wings in behind his back.

Brett's hand stretched out; slowly motioning the monk forward and the monk nodded with delight. He was waiting for a new challenge; this would be an amusing fight. "I will enjoy breaking you all; especially you Brett." Brett grit his teeth; you are not going to break me because you will fall."

A brief moment happened were everyone was dead silent; Brett took one last breath before he ran forward making the first move. The monk launched fists at Brett; he dodged and the fighters continued to trade rapid blows. Brett punched and made contact with the opponent's fist; he jumped up landing on the wall. His foot found a suitable hold he was able to push off and spin; kicking the monster causing the creature to explode into a dust cloud.

Brett landed and he quickly moved down the next hall; he motioned Jesse and Jaden to stop and wait till Brett made sure it was clear. Brett walked forward and he saw a gun by the exit to the main hall's upper portion. Brett wondered where the gun came but just shook it off as Brett grabbed the gun. Brett quickly familiarized him self with the gun studying the details; Jaden yelled "Is it safe too come out yet?" Brett shook his head shouting Jaden that he did not know yet. Brett moved into the main hall to see three new Robotic knights across the gap all with there guns pointed at him.

"Crap!" Brett shouted as he dodged behind a pillar close by. Strangely no shooting had happened yet; Brett sat there and wondered where the weapon fire was. He looked out from around the corner as the knights began to fire, chiseling away at the pillar with rounds of bullets. Brett dodged behind the pillar as bullets ripped through the air. "It is not safe just yet Jaden! You might just want to stay back for a few more minutes."

The bullets stopped as he took a deep breath before running from behind the pillar and the firing resumed. Bullets ripped through air; Brett could feel bullets passing by his head and body. Brett traded shots across the gap as Brett noticed he had a laser gun. Weapons fired and shots ripped through the air at both sides. Brett rolled behind another pillar; "I do not like gun fighting." Brett turned as he ran to the wall jumping off of it launching himself across the gap.

Brett landed on the other side of the hall as he turned firing the gun as a laser shot through a robotic knight's head. The knight just stood there not exploding but just waited for a moment. The headless robotic knight swung it's sword; Brett ducked and shoot it again and destroyed it. The other two turned to Brett but Brett dodge rolled firing two more shots, into the other Robotic Knights. The shots tore the robots apart and soon they were destroyed. Brett got up and noticed across the hall stood a Dark Jeroid and it was heading towards Blair and the others.

Brett took a running jump across the gap; he shot the monster in the back, and it screamed in pain. The creature turned and hit him with a claw, knocking the gun from his hand. The creature followed with fast swipes with its other appendages. Brett ducked and dodged each blow by mere inches. With one final swipe he flipped backwards grabbing his gun; he aimed and shot through the creature ten times before the creature finally fell.

Another explosion occurred; sending dust and debris at Brett. Soon the blast faded and Brett yelled out to his friends; "safe now, but I would prefer to take the lower level. So were taking the lower level. Someone really is trying hard to get rid of us."

Pause to let song End

Jaden and Jesse came to Brett; he told them the top level was not working out well. Jaden and Jesse looked out into the hall to see the destroyed hallway. "Guez Brett leave some school still intact;" Jesse said while he rubbed the back of his head. Brett did not answer and grabbed Blair; he stretched his wings telling the guys to follow him. He flew to the lower level and gently so not to disturb Blair. Jesse, Jaden and the tiger jumped to the lower level; Brett set Blair on the Tiger's back. Brett relaxed for a second and took a sigh of relief. Jaden looked down the hall as he said; "ah, Brett we have a problem."

Brett looked towards the gym; there were a hundred duelists who now stood in their path. Brett turned back the other way as he saw zombie duelists coming from behind him. All chanting the word duel; they summoned their monsters to the area. Soon hundreds of monsters blocked their path. Jesse looked around; "Brett what are we going to do, were surrounded." Brett simply looked at them as he spoke; "we will make it. Just stay close to me, and don't worry; I'll only hurt them a bit."

Song Wings Of Words

Brett tossed his gun to Jaden; he quickly collapsed his wings and took one last deep breath. He paused for a few moments; letting him self prepare for the coming fight. Brett stretched his limbs while he closed his eyes. Brett waited for moments; letting the all of his enemies draw closer to him. Then without warning; he let his wings burst creating a torrent of wind out. Hundreds of feathers flew everywhere when his wings stretched to there maximum extent.

The feathers floated gently down and Brett lifted his hands and opened his eyes, causing most the feathers to fly around his hands creating twin blades of light. While the other feathers formed shields behind Jaden and Jesse. Brett took one last look at his friends before shouting out loud; "remember stay close! We will make it through this; I promise to all of you!"

Brett leapt forward into the army of zombie duelist; monsters came down on him from the front. Brett simply jumped back readying his blade with a look of determination in his eyes. He fought back slicing at enemies, while the shields behind his friends kept the other enemies at bay not letting anything through. Nothing would happen to his friends no matter what.

Brett slashed fiercely sending zombie duelist flying; monsters exploded causing him to squint but still he did not let anything through. Brett noticed enemies coming from the side, and he immediately span around sending his blade through every enemy. The blade gently passed through his friends not harming them, but it still sent duelists flying and crushing monsters. He cleared a path slicing through enemies and the path to the gym slowly opened. But soon the monsters started to come at him faster and faster; Brett simply sped up his pace. He desperately tried to keep up with the heightened pace of attacks.

Brett continued to parry and slice while his shields created a perimeter; pushing back monsters without fail as his strikes continued to increase in speed. More duelists in the back of the horde summoned new flying creatures; Brett took off as he created more shields to continue defending his friends. Brett flew above them; crushing the flying monsters for they stood no chance against Brett's blades of light.

He let his wings collapse as he dropped coming down on monsters; trying to gain some advantage. More and more duelist's monsters attacked with no relent in their pace. But Brett was not about to give up; he was not going to let his friends suffer. He made his wings flap pushing the army back; more feathers flew into the air from Brett's wings. Brett summoned them to his hands; he could feel the blades effect getting stronger and stronger. He quickly resumed the attack and he swung his blades with renewed determination in his heart. He span around and his blades extended making it easier to reach opponent and clear a path quicker.

Then a Familiar Knight came down close to Brett; the knight's blade cut the side of Brett's leg. Brett simply sliced the creature destroyed out of rage from the pain. Brett looked up to see monsters coming down on the group; he beat his wings and Brett let more feathers fly creating a shield above them.

The monsters hit the shield and the shield pushed them back into the air. Brett renewed his attack against his enemies but; he slashed, he created long blades of light that shot out into the army creating explosion that cleared a large portion of the hall. Slowly the group crept closer and closer to the gym and Brett did not let up. He was determined and never gave an inch to the opposing force.

His friends were depending on him and letting them down was no option. Brett continued to fight his way though the crowd; he sent more slashes made of light out into the crowd to aid in his goal. Few monsters came close to Brett; he tore into the other monsters with his blades and none could come even close to Brett. He was focused and in control of his power. He jumped high into the air using his now much smaller wings to hover; he spun around creating a circle of light in the air. The slash plowed the area around the shield clearing the area of duelist and monster alike.

Brett dropped down and slammed his blades into creating a wave of light energy; wave of light easily cleared the remaining path to the gym. Monsters exploded all around them from the intensity of the wave. The zombies were battered and bruised, but still got back up; all of them were still chanting the word duel. Their was no obvious way to end this but he had one last trick.

Brett, Jaden, and Jesse arrived at the gym with Blair safely on the back of the tiger. Brett looked at the army of duelists in front of him. He was ready at last to unleash a greater power; his shields, blades, and his wings exploded sending thousands of feathers into the air. Brett moved his hands and he commanded the feathers to fly out. Each pure white feather turned to white energy and they passed through every duel monster and duelist under Yubel's control. Everything that opposed Brett became enveloped in light; Brett lifted his hands while everything enveloped in light rose into the air. Brett jumped forward sending everything he now controlled far down the hall.

Brett pulled his hands back to his body; he summoned all the light back to him. The light circled and surrounded Brett enveloping him in light. Light swirled in circles before launching away from Brett; it created a barrier of light around the gym. Brett turned back to the gym before he pushed the doors open with a single push. He had now achieved his goal and led his friends to safety. He smiled as he looked at them make their way into the gym; "told you we would make it." They entered the gym and they put Blair in a make shift bed; he smiled upon the sight of Blair finally being safe.

(Pause and let song end)

Brett was glad Blair was safe; he turned to the door. His vision focused on the army that was returning back towards the gym with the same force they had before. Brett looked back at his friends; he did not want to make this choice but he had to. Before looking to the exit and beginning to walk towards the exit; he spoke under his voice. "Now is the time. I will finish this madness so no one else must suffer; this must end now before more innocents are claimed."

"He seems to have finally truly awakened; a shame but not unexpected. Yubel prepare you're the monsters I gave you to be summoned, and make sure we finish him off this time. For now the real battle begins and we will use everything we have." Yubel turned to 2, before Yubel began to speak. "Do not forget your magic; I want the world to watch and you too Jaden." 2 looked back and he exited the room, "I have not; you shall have the perfect view of this amazing battle." The door to the library shut leaving Yubel to prepare.
