Hey everyone. Glad that you all are like this story so far…*Coughs* sorry, Sinuses are messed up due to the weather here. Still plan to come out with more chapters though. Anyways, The Deck Jaden will use is comprised of Transformers Animated.
Disclaimer: I don't own YuGiOh or Transformers. If I did I would've made Jaden get together with Alexis.
Claimer: I do own the plot and cards.
Please give reviews to Peach Wookie's stories since she was the one who first created a GX and Transformers crossover that helped inspire this story.
The moon shone brightly like the sun on the Duel Academy. A figure dressed in black clothing raced through the forest, their objective unclear. The figure soon reached a dorm that was cracked in several areas and the roof had slightly collapsed, but there were repairs to the walls and there were beams in where the roof had collapsed. Someone was repairing this dorm and it wasn't DA. The figure then reached into their pocket and brought out a single red rose. The figure moved forward stealthily and placed the red rose at the bottom of a gate.
"Be at peace brother." The figure whispered before slipping away from the semi-rebuilt dorm.
The figure stole away and everything was the same as before except for the rose at the base of the stone gate; that is, if anyone looked close enough.

Slifer Red Dorm
"And as I was reaching for the rare card, a ghostly hand reached up and gripped my arm tightly. 'Come to us, cooome to usssss.' A woman's voice said. Before I could react, I was dragged down to the water. 'Ah, the water! Not the water!' I cried" Syrus said eerily.
"Come on Sy. You call that 'scary'?" Optimus asked with smile.
"Uh…did I mention it was dirty water?" Syrus said with a sheepish smirk.
The trio had gotten together a deck of random spells, traps and monsters for a special get together at the Slifer Red Dorm, which involved telling scary stories based on the level of a monster drawn.
The new Ra shook his head with a smile on his face. Chumley was back against the farthest wall, his face contorted in fear at the story Syrus told. Optimus then grabbed the top card of the deck and picked it up. He looked at it and saw that it was a four starred Celtic Guardian.
"Hmmmmmmm…I guess…nah. Very bad idea." Optimus muttered to himself.
"What? What's a bad idea?" Chumley and Syrus asked together.
"The story I have in mind." Optimus said as he placed the card facedown on top of a discard pile.
"Tell us! Or we'll let Elita and the other girls get that recording we got of you singing." Syrus said with a small smirk.
Optimus sweat-dropped as he thought of his singing getting to the other girls. He remembered the LAST time he sung; he had a horde of fan-girls after him for months!
"Okay, okay. I'll tell ya." Optimus said. "Its during the Cult war…"
GXGXGXGXGXGXGXGXGXGXGX
(Flashback) Warning! Graphic description!
Megatron and I were on patrol, looking for the Cult Leader David. He had invaded the southern part of Domino City and had given several innocents to their god, Darkness. Now, it was our turn to fight back.
"PRIME! INCOMING!" Megatron yelled at the top of his lungs.
The Autobot and Decepticon invasion force scattered and jumped behinds large chunks of buildings as a mortar shell dropped like a stone out of the sky. There was a large explosion and debris fell all around the joint members.
"That was too close bro." Optimus said to Megatron.
"You got that right. Be thankful that Starscream spotted that shell and radioed in before it was too late." Megatron said.
"So what are we going to do?" Optimus asked.
"I don't know…how about…" Megatron said with a smirk.
"The usual?" Optimus asked with a smirk of his own.
"You got it." Megatron said with a laugh.
Before you ask guys, the cultists had gotten weapons from the Military. Their influence had spread into the government and corrupted many political figures including General Hiroshi who had given the Cultists access to arms. We got access via other militia groups spanning from China and America due to our video reports hitting the Internet.
The two brothers grabbed a canister off of their uniforms and took a pin off. The other Autobots and Decepticons saw what they were doing and did the same thing that the two leaders were doing. As if they were one person, they threw the canisters behind the barriers that protected the Cults from them. A few seconds later, smoke began to come up from where they had thrown the canisters. Bellowing out a battle cry, the entire faction of soldiers ran forward and jumped over the barriers, firing off small side arms in their hands. They ran through the artificial mist they had created and headed toward the building's barricades. When they came through the mist, they saw that the cultists' factions were pulling back with several wounded due to the small arms fire from the two gangs. The gangs didn't stop and kept on running. Optimus and Megatron jumped through the building window.
That was when we were met with a sight that made us sick to our stomachs.
Both leaders and many of their comrades stopped dead and looked in horror at the display in front of them. Bodies' lay sprawled out in satanic symbols with blood splashed everywhere; these weren't the normal bodies of strong healthy men and women that the gangs had become accustomed to seeing; the old, the young and the crippled were among the dead with half of their flesh gone. The organs of the 'honorable sacrificed' were gone, taken and eaten by the cultists. Multiple arms and legs were severed and the smell of smoking flesh lingered in the air. Optimus looked at one of the corpses and saw that it was a boy that looked like he was only 1 year old; his eyes and tongue were gone, there was a tiny hole in his chest where his heart once beat.
"By Primus's spark…" Optimus said quietly as he crossed himself over the boy.
"Fragging Quintessons." Megatron swore through clenched teeth.
"Sirs! We got a live one over here!" Skywarp shouted.
Optimus and Megatron raced to where Skywarp was. In the Decepticon's arms was a small girl no more then 5 years of age. She had blue eyes and silver hair; her skin was a pale opal with many scars on her body. She gazed at the two leaders with a vacant, dead gaze; she had only rags on her for clothing. Optimus took her from Skywarp arms and brought her over to a boy wearing a Red Cross symbol on his arms.
"Ratchet, we got a live one, but she's traumatized. Take her back to base on the double. Hurry!" Optimus hissed.
"Sir, yes sir." The medical member said as he took the girl and ran out of the window.
The rest of the battle that day was a blur to me. I think we won because I saw Megatron handing David over to the authorities. But the sight of the dead would stay with me forever.
(End flashback)
GXGXGXGXGXGXGXGXGX
Syrus and Chumley held onto one another, scared beyond reason; the description Optimus had given them did not sit to well with them or their stomachs. Optimus, who had his eyes closed during the story telling, opened them and looked at the two Reds.
"So, what did you think?" Optimus said.
"I can't believe you lived through that, Optimus." A voice said behind the trio.
"WAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Syrus and Chumley shouted in surprise.
The two ran around and dove underneath the tables. Optimus turned to look behind him and smiled.
"Hey, Professor Banner." Optimus said in a cheery voice.
"Ho ho ho…sorry that I spooked you boys. But what exactly are you doing?" The headmaster of the Red dorm asked as he stepped out form the shadows.
"Oh it was just you, I knew that." Syrus said as he poked his head out.
"Could've fooled me." Chumley said as he stood up with the table sliding off of his back.
"So what are you boys doing at this late hour?" Banner asked again as Pharaoh walked in.
"Well, we telling scary stories based on the level of the card we draw. Higher levels equal scarier stories whilst lower levels equal a not so scary story." Optimus explained to the professor.
"Really? May I try?" Banner asked.
"Sure!" The three chorused.
Banner walked toward the deck and picked up the top card. He frowned when he saw that it was a spell card; he discarded the card and then drew again. His frowned deepened when he saw that it was a trap card. He discarded the card and drew once more; he smiled when he saw that it was a Five-Headed Dragon card.
"That's a 12 starred monster!" Syrus squeaked out.
"Oh, not lishus." Chumley muttered.
"What story should I tell you boys? Hmmmm…I got it! Have any of you heard of the abandoned dorm?" Banner asked.
The three boys shook their heads at the professor's question. Banner smiled a sad smile as if he had heard it from other teachers.
"It was special dorm set aside for duelists with unique and rare talents and the dorm dealt with something called Shadow Games." Banner said.
"S-S-shadow g-g-games?" Syrus asked nervously
"Yes, shadow games. In fact I believe that I heard that Alexis's brother once resided there." Banner said.
"What?" Optimus said in surprise.
"But the students mysteriously disappeared for the dorm and no one has seen them since." Banner concluded sadly. "Well, good night boys."
As soon as the professor had left Optimus spoke up.
"Guys, I need to get to that dorm. Alexis has missed her brother for so long it's not funny. There has got to be some proof there that Atticus was there." Optimus explained to the two Slifer Reds.
"I don't know…it sounds dangerous." Syrus said, while looking down.
"In case you forgot, I did fight in a war." Optimus pointed out.
"Good point." Chumley said.
"Then it's settled. We'll check the dorm out for any evidence that Elita's brother was there." Optimus said to the two.
The small group didn't know of the ears that had overheard the conversation.
"Oh hohoho. This will be the perfect chance to get rid of Prime for good." Crowler said with a snicker as he walked away.
GXGXGXGXGXGXGXGXGX
Domino City
A man wearing a mask and a trench coat with a wide brim hat on his head as well as a strange duel disk pointed at a young man.
"Destroy him, my monster." The man said in a dead panned tone.
The beast raced forward and took out the man's life points, which were already low, with a final slash. The man gasped out and then collapsed to the ground in a heap. A ringing came form the masked man's coat pocket; he reached in a pulled out a cellular phone.
"Hello? This is Titan." Titan said into the phone.
GXGXGXGXGXGXGXGXGX
Lighthouse
Titan stepped from his boat onto the concrete pier that jutted out from the island. He turned toward the lighthouse and saw Crowler standing there, hopping from foot to foot in an effort to keep warm. Titan strolled up to the man-thing and looked at him.
"I'm here. Now what do you want?" Titan asked.
"Glad you could make it. There is a duelist here that should be a challenge for you." Crowler said.
"Go on." Titan said, already bored.
"He goes by the name Jaden Yuki, but he goes by another name too," Crowler said excitedly.
"And what is this other name?" Titan asked, wondering how a boy could go by two names.
"Optimus Prime." Crowler said.
The name seemed to wake Titan up. He looked at Crowler with his undivided attention.
"Did you say Optimus Prime?" Titan spat angrily.
"Um…yes?" Crowler said, a little intimidated by Titan's anger.
"Well, you've gotten my attention now." Titan said sinisterly.
"I take it you two have a history together?" Crowler asked timidly.
"Yes, both he and his brother have a history with me. Why, if it weren't for those two brats, I would still have my human trafficking system to the Darkness Cult Leaders!" Titan roared.
Crowler sweat dropped, but immediately his face lit up; this was an enemy of Prime and Megatron? It was too good to be true!
"Since Prime is on this island, I shall do this job free of charge." Titan said as he disappeared on a mist.
"Now that's what I want to hear!" Crowler said joyfully.
Neither Crowler nor Titan saw a hawk on top of the Lighthouse. On its left leg was a mini-camcorder, recording everything and sending the information to a Decepticon with a red visor.
"Laserbeak, return to me. Lord Megatron will be most pleased." Soundwave said into a microphone.
The hawk screeched which made Crowler jump a bit into the air. With the swiftness of an eagle, it flew away.
GXGXGXGXGXGXGXGXGX
Next Day
The day was a blur to Optimus. He couldn't remember much since he had his mind on finding Elita's brother, Atticus Rhodes. He had heard stories about the elder Rhodes from Elita herself. Pretty soon, it was time to head out. The Autobot leader checked the equipment and grabbed a flashlight.
"Everybody ready?" Optimus asked.
"R-ready." Syrus said nervously.
"Ready." Chumley said.
"Alright then, let's go." Optimus said as he headed out the door.
They were unawares of the pair of glaring eyes following their every move.
GXGXGXGXGXGXGXGXGX
Abandoned Dorm
"Well, this looks like the place." Syrus said as they had reached the run-down dorm.
"Pretty c-creepy if you ask me." Chumley said.
"Come on. We better get moving." Optimus said.
The group of friends began to move forward when a loud voice came from the dorm.
"!" A familiar voice roared.
"Is that…" Syrus asked, when Prime clapped his hand over the small boy's mouth.
"Quiet! Quick, back into the tree line." Optimus hissed to Chumley and Syrus.
They retreated back into the shadows underneath the trees and remained silent. A group of Decepticons, led by Megatron, came out of the dorm; on their shoulders were empty burlap sacks and Starscream did not look happy.
"Why are we doing this at night, o glorious leader?" Starscream demanded.
"Because they've increased security at the Yellow Dorm while the security at the Blue dorm is now lax. That means…" Megatron began, but Soundwave took up the explanation.
"It means that we will acquire top premium food from the Obelisk blue dorm." Soundwave said emotionlessly.
The sentence got the entire gang to buzz with excitement, so much so that the smaller Decepticons took off running with the rest of the gang behind them. There was silence for a few minutes; Optimus poked his head out from the shadows and saw that the coast was clear.
"All clear." Optimus said as he walked out.
"Whew. That was too close!" Syrus squeaked.
"So that's what my spirit was trying to tell me…" Optimus said to himself.
A twig snapped somewhere making Optimus spin around with his fists up.
"Alright! Come out, we got you surrounded." Optimus hissed.
"Prime? Is that you?" A female voice asked.
Elita walked out behind the trees and looked at her boyfriend.
"Prime, what are you doing here? Don't you know this place is off limits?" Elita said, her tone scolding.
"I'm here to help you find any clues about your brother." Optimus said, his voice even and firm, indicating that he wasn't going to take 'no' for answer.
Elita's eyes widened in surprised; Prime was trying to help her like he had done in the past. She smiled and nodded.
"Alright, now that I know why you are here, I'll let you go inside." Elita said.
"Wait, you aren't coming in with us?" Optimus asked.
"Someone's got to keep an eye out for the Cons in case they come back early." Elita pointed out.
Optimus smiled sheepishly.
"Good point. Alright, guys let's roll out!" Prime shouted as he went toward the dorm with Syrus and Chumley close behind.
GXGXGXGXGXGXGXGXGX
Inside the Abandoned Dorm
"Okay, where do we start our search?" Optimus asked to himself.
"I'll start in the cafeteria!" Chumley said excitedly.
"I-I'll go with Chumley." Syrus said nervously.
"Alright then. I'll check upstairs." Optimus said as he walked up the steps to the upper levels.
He entered a room and flicked his flashlight on. It sputtered and died right away. He groaned as he turned the flashlight toward his face. He shook the torch a few times, when it suddenly lit up. Jaden winced and pointed the light down. He didn't see where he was walking due to the sudden brightness of the flashlight. He walked into something and knocked several items off.
"Ouch…what do we have here?" Optimus asked as knelt down and picked something up.
"It feels like a picture of some sort." Optimus muttered to himself as he bent closer for a good look.
GXGXGXGXGXGXGXGXGXGXGX
Outside
Elita looked from left to right, keeping her eyes on the path. Her attention was so focused on the path, she didn't see the large shadow loom behind her; however, Elita's senses from the war were sending warning signals to her body. Elita tensed and slowly turned around. She saw the shadow glare at her with pale white eyes. There was only thing she could do to warn Prime and the others. She screamed. "AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Elita screamed.The figure stopped, surprised by the lungpower Elita had, for a few milliseconds before punching Elita in the stomach. Elita gasped and began to black out as the shadow grabbed her.
"The bait is captured. Now for the hero to come to the rescue." Titan said as he walked into the dorm.
There was a thin wire that he snapped as he walked down into the basement of the dorm, alerting a certain black and brown haired boy to an invasion.
GXGXGXGXGXGXGXGXGX
Outside of Blue Dorm
"Alright, Decepticons. Lord Megatron wants this raid done by the book. So get into your positions…" Shockwave said, relaying instructions to the rest of the members.
Megatron wasn't paying attention; a vibrating from his left pocket tore his attention away from his Second-in-command. He reached in and grabbed his PDA, bringing it out into the cold night air. He opened it up to see the insignia of the Decepticons blinking rapidly. The gang leader's eyes narrowed in fury.
Someone is trying to break into our base of operations! Could it be Prime? Megatron thought to himself.
"My lord? We are ready to begin." Shockwave said, snapping Megatron out of his musings.
"Shockwave, take command here. Someone has broken into our HQ. I'm going back to check it out." Megatron said as he turned and raced in the direction of the new Decepticon Dorm.
"Aye, sir." Shockwave said with a salute to the fleeing leader.
GXGXGXGXGXGXGXGXGX
Abandoned Dorm
"ELITA!" Optimus shouted the second he had heard her scream.
He grabbed the photo he had found on the ground and pocketed it. He raced out of the room he was in and toward the stairs. He leapt over the banister and landed on the ground with barely making any noise. He looked up and saw Syrus and Chumley racing out of the room that they were in.
"What happened? We heard a scream!" Chumley shouted.
"Elita! Either the Cons ambushed her or something or someone followed us here!" Prime hissed.
Syrus spotted something near an ancient door. He grabbed it and saw that it was an Etolie Cyber card.
"Hey, is this one of Elita's, I mean Alexis's cards?" Syrus asked as he handed Prime the card.
The Autobot gang leader looked at it and nodded feverishly.
"Yeah this is hers alright. This means that she was taken down through that door!" Optimus hissed as he strapped on his disk and opened the door.
He ran in quickly followed by Syrus and Chumley. The door swung shut behind the three and all was quiet in the dorm.
GXGXGXGXGXGXGX
Megatron reached the slowly rebuilt dorm a few seconds after Prime and his Slifer Red friends went down to the basement. He entered and then wrinkled his nose. He smelled familiar cologne and it was from his past.
"So, he is here as well." Megatron spat to himself.
He walked toward the same door that Prime had gone down and opened it up. He stared down at the darkness in front of him before walking in.
GXGXGXGXGXGXGX
Basement of the abandoned dorm
"Man, I can't see a thing down here." Syrus complained.
"Shhhhh. I hear someone's voice." Optimus hissed behind him.
Sure enough, the trio heard a voice speaking.
"Once Optimus or Megatron get here, they will meet their demise." The voice said with a low chuckle.
"I know that voice!" Optimus whispered with anger in his voice.
"Who is it?" Chumley asked, his curiosity piqued.
But his question never reached Optimus's ears. He was out of the small hallway they were in and out to where Titan was.
"TITAN!" Optimus roared, his blue eyes aflame with anger and rage.
The big man turned around and smiled. He had known that Optimus would come. Elita was in some sort of coffin and she was knocked out.
"Ah, Prime. It's good to see after…how many years was it since you shut me down?…ah yes, 4 years. Glad to see that I got the drop on you for once." Titan said with a smirk.
"Let Elita go." Optimus said coldly.
"No, this girl is to be used to bring about new age of the Darkness Cults. But I'm not so heartless so I'll make a deal with you, Prime. Her fate is to be decided by our duel. I win, she dies and you get sent to the Shadow Realm. You win, I get sent to the shadow realm." Titan said outlying the stakes.
"Fine! Let's do this!" Optimus snarled as his disk deployed and he grabbed the deck Pegasus had sent him.
"Time for you to die." Titan said.
Titan: 4000/Optimus (Jaden): 4000
"I shall start." Titan said as he drew a card from the strange disk.
The human seller looked at the card he drew and then at his hand. He added the card he drew and grabbed another.
"I play the field spell card, Pandemonium!"
(Pandemonium-Type/Spell/Field. Neither player has to pay Life Points during the Standby Phase for "Archfiend" monsters. Each time a player's "Archfiend" monster(s) is destroyed and sent to the Graveyard, except by battle, that player can add 1 "Archfiend" monster from their Deck to their hand that is a lower Level than the destroyed card.)
The entire field changed to a forest with some sort of ritual taking place in the center. Titan grabbed a second card and placed it on one of his MZs.
"I play Infernalqueen Archfiend in attack mode!"
(Infernalqueen Archfiend-LV/4, Attribute/Fire, ATK/900, DEF/1500, Type/Fiend/Effect. The controller of this card pays 500 Life Points during each of his/her Standby Phases (this is not optional). When this card is targeted by the effect of a card controlled by your opponent, when resolving the effect, roll a six-sided die. If the result is 2 or 5, negate the effect and destroy the opponent's card. As long as this card remains on the field, during each Standby Phase increase the ATK of 1 "Archfiend" monster by 1000 points until the End Phase.)
A female fiend arose onto the field with a scream of rage. Optimus stared coolly at the monster as Titan slotted another card into his spell/trap card zone.
"I set one card facedown and end."
"Okay then! My move!" Optimus shouted as he drew.
He looked at the card he drew and added it to his hand. He then grabbed another and placed it in his MZ.
"I play Ratchet in attack mode!"
(Ratchet-LV/4, Attribute/Earth, ATK/1500, DEF/2000, Type/Machine/Effect. Once per turn, you can special summon 1 Machine-type monster from your Graveyard that was destroyed as a result of battle.)
An ambulance came racing onto the field and transformed. The robot had a dark gray patch on his chin and a broken horn on its head. There were several patches here and there indicating that the bot had seen a lot of combat.
"Ahhhh, can't that user see that I was in the middle of my stasis nap!" Ratchet said irritably.
"Hey sorry old man. But now I attack you queen!"
"Let's get this over with." Ratchet said with a sigh.
Two prongs came out of the doctor's arms and purple electricity erupted from the prongs. They snaked over toward the Archfiend when Titan pushed a button on his disk.
"Go Negate Attack!" Titan roared as his facedown came up.
"Argh. I set a card facedown and end."
"My move." Titan said as he drew.
"Hey, shouldn't Titan lose some life points since he's using Archfiends?" Syrus asked.
"Normally, he would. But with Pandemonium in play, that little cost is negated." Optimus explained.
"And my Infernalqueen gains 1000 additional attack thanks to her effect." Titan interjected.
Infernalqueen Archfiend-ATK/1900
"Next I summon my Terrorking Archfiend in attack mode!"
(Terrorking Archfiend-LV/4, Attribute/Dark, ATK/2000, DEF/1500, Type/Fiend/Effect. You cannot Normal Summon or Flip Summon this card unless you have an Archfiend Monster Card on your side of the field. The controller of this card pays 800 Life Points during each of his/her Standby Phases (this is not optional). When this card is specifically designated as a target of the effect of a card controlled by your opponent, when resolving the effect, roll a six-sided die. If the result is 2 or 5, negate the effect and destroy the opponent's card. Also, negate the effect of an Effect Monster that is destroyed by this monster as a result of battle.)
A fiendish looking monster wearing a crown on its head arose onto the field. It looked at Prime and hissed. Prime got ready for the impending attack.
"Go my Queen. Destroy that old rust heap!"
"Rust Heap! I'll show you a rust heap!" Ratchet snarled.
The queen let out a scream that let loose several ghosts that drifted toward Ratchet. Optimus pressed a button on his disk.
"Go, EMP!"
(EMP-Type/Trap/Normal. You can only activate this card if "Ratchet" is in play. Switch all monsters on your side of the field to defense mode. The card's positions cannot change until 2 turns after this card's activation.)
Ratchet transformed back into the ambulance and turned blue. The attack hit Ratchet but the blast was redirected back to Titan.
Titan: 3900/Optimus (Jaden): 4000
"Humph. I set one card facedown and end my turn."
Infernalqueen Archfiend-ATK/900
"I draw!" Optimus shouted as he drew.
He looked at the card he drew and then at his hand. He added the card he drew and grabbed another.
"I play Prowl in attack mode!"
(Prowl-LV/4, Attribute/Dark, ATK/1900, DEF/1500, Type/Machine/Effect. This card can attack you opponent directly. The damage inflicted is halved.)
A black and gold motorcycle raced onto the field and transformed. It had blue optics in the style of a visor.
"Hmmmmm. Interesting." Prowl said aloud.
"Prowl can attack you directly Titan. But I'm not going to do that just yet. Instead I play the spell card, Mod Upgrade!"
(Mod Upgrade-Type/Spell/Equip. This card can only be equipped to either "Prowl" or "Oilslick". Increase the equipped monsters ATK by 600.)
Prowl-ATK/2500
"Now I attack your Infernal Queen! Prowl, Ninja Star Strike!"
Prowl nodded and wavered like he was some sort of mirage. He disappeared from everyone's view.
"What? Where did he go?" Titan roared.
The shadow duelist knew that Optimus dueled with Autobot decks, but he had never seen this deck before. He heard a death rattle come form his Infernalqueen and turned to his monster. In its neck was a throwing star of some sort.
Titan: 2200/Optimus (Jaden): 4000
"There. Now your Terrorking won't get a power boost." Optimus said as Prowl returned to his side of the field.
"Grrrrrr…You will regret that!" Titan hissed.
"I regret nothing Titan. I set one card facedown and end." Optimus said to the shadow duelist.
"I draw!" Titan roared as a card slid out of his disk.
He looked at the card and immediately smiled. Optimus got a bad feeling that Titan had drawn his signature card.
"I give up my Terrorking Archfiend for my Skull Archfiend of Lighting!"
(Skull Archfiend of Lightning-LV/6, Attribute/Dark, ATK/2500, DEF/1200, Type/Fiend/Effect. The controller of this card pays 500 Life Points during each of his/her Standby Phases (this is not optional). When this card is targeted by the effect of a card controlled by your opponent, when resolving the effect, roll a six-sided die. If the result is 1, 3 or 6, negate the effect and destroy the opponent's card.)
A monster that looked exactly like the Summoned Skull arose onto the field with thunder and lightning around it. It let out a roar that made Jaden flinch just a bit.
"Now, I attack your Ratchet! Striking thunder blast!"
The giant fiend rose into the air and brought its hands together. It let loose a stream of lightning at the Red Ambulance. The electricity coursed through the old bot causing him to yell in his vehicle form. The elder Autobot turned into particles of light and floated in to the graveyard.
"I shall end my turn at that." Titan said with a smirk.
No one, not even Titan, saw in the shadows two dull red eyes glaring at them; Megatron had gotten down to the basement where Prime was dueling. He was analyzing the deck Prime was using so that the deck he had gotten from Pegasus had any hope of countering the deck.
Optimus drew his card and looked at it. He smirked when he saw what he had drawn. He slammed the card down on one of his MZs.
"I play Bumblebee in attack mode!" Optimus shouted.
(Bummblebee-LV/3, Attribute/Fire, ATK/1500, DEF/1200, Type/Machine/Effect. When this card is summoned successfully, add one "Bulkhead" or "Sari - Cybertronian Sister" to your hand.)
A small yellow sports car roared onto the field. It transformed and its hands became some sort of stingers.
"Make way, people! Fast Autobot coming through!" The young Autobot said.
"Thanks to Bee's effect, I gain Bulkhead from deck and place him in my hand. But he's not staying there for long; because I can special summon him this turn! Bulkhead, let's go!"
(Bulkhead-LV/5, Attribute/Earth, ATK/2600, DEF/1400, Type/Machine/Effect. If this card was added to your hand by the effect of Bumblebee, Special Summon this card in Attack Mode. When this card attacks, destroy 1 monster after Damage Calculation.)
An armored vehicle raced onto the field with its siren wailing. The armored car transformed into a large bot with a wrecking ball out.
"Time to smash some enemies." Bulkhead said after transforming.
"Alright Bulk, let's take out that Skull…"
"Not so fast! I activate my Threatening Roar card. This makes you skip your battle phase this turn." Titan interrupted.
"Shoot! Oh well, I end."
"My turn." Titan said as he drew.
He looked at the card and smirked. He placed the card in his spell/trap card zone.
"I play a Feather of the Phoenix! By discarding a card of mine, I get one card back from the grave and place it in my hand." Titan explained as he discarded a Desrook Archfiend.
A card slotted out from the grave and Titan placed it in his hand. Optimus got the feeling that it was Terrorking Archfiend. His theory was right as Titan grabbed the card.
"I play Terrorking Archfiend in attack mode!"
The monster reappeared on the field with a furious roar. Optimus flinched at the roar, but held his ground.
"Now I attack your little insect! Thunder strike!"
The Skull Archfiend of Lightning raised its hands with Electricity crackling around them.
"Not so fast! I activate my trap, Bumble Blast!"
(Bumble Blast-Type/Trap/Normal. This card can only be activated if "Bumblebee" is in play. Tribute "Bumblebee" and destroy 1 monster on your side of the field.)
"I think I'll chose your Skull!" Optimus said with a smirk.
"Have your forgotten my card's effect? By rolling a dice and if the result is a 1, 3, or 6, you card's effect is negated and your card is destroyed!" Titan interjected as a roulette with numbers appeared. A small orb of fire raced around the roulette. For a few minutes it did that; Prime was holding his breath as the fire started to slow down; it went past the 2, 3, 4, 5 and came to a stop at the…
"6!" Prime shouted in alarm.
"That's right, now for your card to pay its due." Titan said with a smirk.
The trap card blew up, causing dust to scatter everywhere. Prime yelled as the lightning hit him.
Titan: 2200/Optimus (Jaden): 3000
"I shall set one card facedown and end."
"My move then!" Prime shouted as he drew a card.
He looked at it and then at his hand. He saw that he had the one spell card he needed.
Alright, I play the field spell card, Cybertron!"
The ritual area withered and decayed as tall metal spires appeared around them. Prowl and Bulkhead had an aura surround them as the towers continued going up.
Prowl-ATK/3000
Bulkhead-ATK/3100
"And if you think that's bad, I can summon Machine-Type monsters from my hand without a single tribute. So let me introduce you to the leader of the Autobot Elite Guard, ULTRA MAGNUS! I summon him in attack mode!"
(Ultra Magnus-Elite Leader-LV/10, Attribute/Light, ATK/3900, DEF/3500, Type/Machine/Effect. If this card was summoned successfully, add 1 "Sentinel Prime", "Jazz-Advance Ninja Warrior" or "Optimus Prime" to your hand. When this card attacks, negate the target card's effect and your opponent cannot activate any Spells and/or Traps until the End Step of the Battle Phase. If this card is equipped with "Magnus Hammer" this card can attack once more.)
An armored vehicle of some sort roared onto the field. Halfway toward where Titan and Optimus were dueling, it transformed into a robot that made the sky tremble with thunder. It gazed at the two monsters on Titan's field.
"It appears that a new war has begun." Ultra Magnus said, his voice aged with wisdom and power.
Ultra Magnus-ATK/4400
"Next, I equip him with the mighty Magnus Hammer!" Optimus roared as he slammed the card into his spell/trap card zone.
(Magnus Hammer-Type/Spell/Equip. This card can be equipped to "Ultra Magnus" or "Optimus Prime". Increase the equipped card's ATK by 1000. When a monster equipped with this card destroys a monster controlled by your opponent, inflict damage equal to the DEF of the destroyed monster.)
A giant hammer that bristled with lightning around it descended from the heavens. Ultra Magnus reached out and grabbed the hammer as it came close to him.
Ultra Magnus-ATK/5400
Titan gazed at the powerful monster in front of him; he was now angry because he was going to lose…that is if he didn't do something about it.
Time to go. Titan thought to himself as he pressed a button on his disk.
Immediately, smoke came from around the duelists masking Optimus's view of the Human seller.
"No! TITAN!" Optimus yelled.
Titan was about to grab Elita when the entire room suddenly shook like it was caught in an earthquake. The smoke cleared away revealing a glowing Egyptian eye on the ground.
"What the heck?" Optimus said as he looked around at the eye.
Suddenly he realized that he was in a sphere of some sort. He heard a shout and turned around to see...
"Titan! What are you doing?" Optimus asked angrily.
"ME? I'm not doing anything!" Titan shouted. "I was about to ask you what you did to pull this off!"
"It's none of you or me for that matter. I believe that this has become a real shadow game." A cold voice said behind Optimus.
"I know that voice…" Prime said as he slowly turned around.
"MEGATRON!" Titan yelled.
The large man was about to step forward to attack the young boy when a glob of ooze appeared out of the ground. The ooze had green eyes and looked evil. More appeared around Optimus and Megatron. But as the ooze got close to the two brothers, their decks and hearts glowed with an eerie light. Beams of colored light erupted from them and when the light had died down, a legion of Autobots and Decepticons formed a ring around the two brothers.
"Autobots! Protect Jaden at all costs!" a projection of Optimus Prime shouted to the others Autobots.
"DECEPTICONS! Protect Jason with your scrap-iron carcasses!" A projection of Megatron roared.
The two factions began to fire off their weapons at the strange slime causing it to back up in fear of being vaporized. As this was going on, the two brothers looked at one another; Jaden's eyes in shock while Jason's eyes in anger.
"AHHHHH! SOMEONE HELP ME! PLEASE!" Titan yelled interrupting the two brothers staring contest.
The slime had multiplied near Titan and had wrapped around the big man. They were crawling up his body and dragging him down. One of the slimes got close to his head and fired some green substance that looked like a mini portal. All of the slimes dove into the portal and disappeared into Titan. There was silence from the human seller for a few minutes; then he lifted his head and Jaden saw that his eyes were a glowing red color.
"Jaden and Jason Yuki. Because you have disturbed the Shadows, this game has become one of life and death. If you win, Jaden then you and your brother shall live. Failure to win will result in imprisonment in the Shadow Realm." Titan said his voice twisted and evil.
"That's okay, because it's still my move. And I declare an attack with the Animated form of Ultra Magnus! Let's do it man! Destroy his Skull Archfiend with Magnus Strike!"
"Prepare to die, fiend." Ultra Magnus said as he raised his hammer into the air.
The hammer crackled to life and the Elite Guard Leader swung downward. Bolts of lightning shot through the earth and raced toward the fiend. The fiend groaned as it blew up making Titan get hit with debris.
Titan: 0/Optimus (Jaden): 3000
"I lost? I cannot lose not to youuuuuuuuuuu!" Titan roared with anger as he disappeared.
"PRIME! Over here! A crack in the sphere!" Jason shouted using Jaden's gang name.
"On it bro!" Jaden shouted as he dove through the crack.
Megatron followed close behind as the sphere began to collapse in on itself. The ball exploded making it rain with tiny lights. Megatron glared at Optimus a he stood up.
"Hoping to steal something worthwhile, Jaden?" Megatron said with venom.
"No, I came here because Elita's brother went missing here." Optimus replied.
"Brother?" Megatron said a little surprised.
"Yeah, Atticus. He disappeared in this very dorm." Optimus explained.
The evil leader looked at Prime for a few seconds before he spoke.
"Get out of here. Consider yourself lucky Prime. I'm in a forgiving mood." Megatron said his voice distanced and cold.
"Thanks." Optimus said as he grabbed Elita and carried her bridal style.
He ran out of the area with Syrus and Chumley close behind.

Outside the Abandon Dorm
"Wake up, lazy!" A voice said with a laugh.
Elita groaned as she sat up. She opened her eyes and saw Optimus, Syrus and Chumley standing over her, with Optimus smiling.
"Ughhhh…Prime? What happened?" Elita asked as she looked at her boyfriend.
Optimus's face contorted into a frown.
"Someone from my past ambushed ya and took you prisoner Elita." Optimus said as he took a look at the night sky. "Welp, best get back to the dorm!"
Optimus lifted Elita into his arms and carried her bridal style. The four ran into the woods just as the moon peeked over the trees.

Abandoned Dorm
Crowler stepped through the door to the basement and looked around the room. He pulled a flashlight from his pocket and flipped it on.
"Mister Titan? Were you able to defeat Optimus Prime?" Crowler asked as he stepped through. "Strange…where are you, man!"
The light fell onto a card that was on the ground. Crowler bent over and picked it up.
"Pandemonium? But Titan would never leave this card! Unless…HE LOST!" Crowler cried as he pocketed the card.
Suddenly, a beeping noise made the doctor jump. He fumbled around in his coat pocket and brought out a PDA.
"Y-yes?" Crowler asked as he opened up the PDA.
"Crowler! It those Decepticons! They're attacking the Blue dorm!" Came Chazz's voice.
"WHAT? CALL SERCUIRTY!" Crowler shouted.
"We've been trying! But the Decepticons have jammed the frequency to DAS!" Chazz shouted. "Hey, how did you get past the barricades! ARGH! PUT ME DOWN!"
The transmission cut off with Chazz's shouts of protest as he was carried off somewhere. Crowler stared blankly at the PDA before running out of the room.
Okay, next chapter Jaden and Jason get in trouble for going to the Haunted Dorm. And two OCs make their appearance. Please R&R.
