Glad some people are liking the story. I would like to thank Segalovesanime09 for allowing me the use of her OCs, Sega and Isabella.
Disclaimer: I don't own GX or Transformers. Nor do I own the mentioned OCs; those are Sega's.
Claimer: I only own the idea, plot, etc, etc, of the story.
Peach Wookie's story 'The Touch' inspired this story.
Crowler had returned to the Boys dorm later on that night, he had found all the boys knocked out by blows to the head and the entire food supply gone. The Security force had rushed to the scene only to find out that they were too late. Now Crowler was bent on getting Megatron and Optimus Prime off the island and he had the perfect idea on how to do it. He opened up his PDA and did something for a few minutes. He pressed a button and sent it to parts unknown.
Now you no good slackers will be out of my hair! Crowler thought.

Slifer Red Dorm-Next Morning
A covered van drove toward the Slifer dorm, with several men and women in green uniforms. The car parked off to the side of the dorm and the group of people jumped out.
"HUP, HUP, HUP, HUP!" The group chanted as they raced up the stairs to a specific room.
"Can't you kids find something quieter to play other then Commando? How about some Uno?" Banner said as he walked out rubbing his eyes.
He looked up to see one of the green uniformed men race up the stairs.
"Oh no! The Disciplinary Action Squad! They only come to a dorm if a student has really acted up!" Banner cried.
The group crowded the door to room 319; a woman wearing a green beret walked forward and banged on the door.
"OPEN UP BEFORE WE BREAK THE DOOR DOWN!" The woman hollered.
Inside the room, Optimus looked up from his homework and made a face.
"You and what army?" Optimus hollered back.
"The Disciplinary Action Squad!" the woman replied.
Optimus jumped up and opened the door when he heard that. The woman looked at him with a steely glare before speaking.
"You must be Jaden Yuki…come with us. Chancellor Sheppard wants to speak to you and Jason." The woman said as she turned around.
"Wait, you sent some men to get Megatron?" Optimus yelped as he walked out of the room.
"Yes, why?" The woman asked coldly.
"One reason…Megatron is a fierce fighter who can put the most strongest of men in the hospital and he won't come until he knows what's wrong!" Optimus shouted.
"No one can stand up to my men. They've been trained by the best." The woman replied crisply.
"Well, can we just go and see?" Optimus asked.
"If it will put your mind at ease…" The woman said.
The group got back into the van with Optimus climbing in the back. They took off for the Abandoned Dorm.
TFTFTFTFTFTFTFTFTFTFTFTF
1 mile from the ]Abandoned Dorm
The van pulled up just as a something went flying through the air. It whacked right against the grill of the vehicle and tumbled onto the ground. The van stopped suddenly in order not to hit the man that had been sent flying. The group of people tumbled out and looked around; some members of the Action Squad were on the ground, moaning in pain. Megatron stood in the center of the mayhem, his body lowered and his arms raised in a fighting move. He hadn't seen the other squad behind him.
One of the men rushed toward him, hoping to take the gang leader by surprise. Megatron stood his ground as the man raced forward, completely unaware of the man rushing him or so the squad thought; the man threw a punch but Megatron leaned his head to the left causing the man to stumble. The Decepticon gang leader spun around and brought his leg in the air. He brought it crashing down onto the action squad member's back; the blow made the man drop like a stone, winded and unconsciousness claiming him. Megatron glared at the fallen form while turning around to face the group that had arrived. He looked at the group that had gathered and scowled.
"Mind telling me why your weak soldiers invaded the Decepticon Dorm?" Megatron asked his tone acid.
"J-Jason Yuki, you are required to see Chancellor Sheppard immediately." The leader said, a bit nervous.
"Until I know why, I'm not going." Megatron snarled.
"Then we'll have to take you by force then." The woman said as she snapped her fingers.
The group of men launched themselves at the Decepticon gang leader with their arms outstretched. Megatron spun on the balls of his heels, dodging one of the fallen soldiers and slammed his foot into one of the men's faces. The man tumbled back as a CRUNCH was heard and blood began to spill from his nose; however, the man had stumbled back into the other men and caused them to fall back on their rears. Megatron glared at the downed group and then turned back to the woman.
"Now, are you willing to tell me why Uncle Sheppard called for me and Prime?" Megatron snarled.
The woman gulped uneasily as she looked into Megatron's cold, dull red eyes.
TFTFTFTFTFTFTFTFTFTFTFTFTF
Conference room.
"Expulsion?" Optimus asked curiously.
"That's what I recommend. Jason injured several of my men and Jaden invaded a dorm that was off limits to the students." The DAS leader said.
Megatron stood next to his younger brother, cold and glaring. They had been informed that someone had emailed the DAS and reported them going into the abandoned dorm. It was at that time he spoke up.
"Prime went into the abandoned dorm to look for clues on one of the missing students. His intentions were good and just. Plus, how was he to know about the abandoned dorm being off limits? There was no notice about it!" Megatron sneered.
"You speak out of line, Jason!" Crowler said shrilly, with a smug tone on his face.
"I wouldn't be so smug, Crowler, seeing as how you hired a dangerous criminal to deal with Prime." Megatron sneered as he looked at the doctor.
"Y-you have no proof!" Crowler squeaked out as sweat dribbled down his face.
Megatron didn't reply; he reached into his jacket and pulled out his PDA. He pressed a few buttons and an beep sounded through out the room. There were several beeps around the two brothers as something was sent to the council that had gathered. Each one brought up his/her PDA and opened it up. There was silence for 5 minutes as the video played its short message. As soon as the vid was over, everyone, except Crowler, looked up with shock on his or her faces. The DAS squad leader regained her composure and glared at the doctor who sweated nervously.
"Crowler, you hired this man to take out a student? What prompted you to do that?" The DAS leader growled.
"I…I…I…" Crowler stuttered but no words came out.
The good doctor threw Megatron a glare but then came up with a perfect idea.
"We should really get back to the matter at hand. Chancellor are we going to expel these good for nothings or not?" Crowler asked in an attempt to get the attention off of him.
Sheppard looked at the doctor with a scowl on his face, but then turned to the two brothers. His gaze was sad but then became thoughtful.
"I have an idea. Jaden and Jason are to participate in a tag team duel against opponents of my choosing. If they win, they stay here at the academy. If they lose, then they are expelled." Sheppard said. "I have two opponents already in mind. You two are dismissed."
Megatron stood up and walked out of the room with a glare at Crowler that said 'I'll deal with you later.' Crowler shrunk away from screen as the evil gang leader glared at him as he left the room. Optimus looked at Sheppard who shook his head; Optimus got the message and left the room.
GXGXGXGXGXGXGXGXGX
Tokyo, Japan
In a hotel over in Tokyo, two girls were resting after competing in a dueling gauntlet. Both of the girls were from America and pro duelists. One of the girls had hair that was light brown with her eyes being the same color. She wore a black overcoat with blue jeans and white sneakers. Underneath her overcoat was a black t-shirt that said 'currently going out of my mind. Be back in five'.
The other girl had brown hair and dark hazel eyes. She wore a sleeveless jacket, which had about 25 pockets each filled with various odds and ends, with a white tank top underneath along with dark blue jeans; completing the fashion statement was a pair of red Reeboks. She was currently reading a 'Duel Pro' magazine. Both of their hair went past their shoulders and were pulled back in a ponytail. The other girl was in the kitchen currently preparing their dinner when the phone rang.
"HEY BELLA! COULD YOU GET THAT? I'M BUSY WITH THE FOOD!" the girl yelled from the kitchen.
"Sure, Seg!" Bella, or Isabella as she was properly named, answered.
Isabella got up from the couch that she sitting on and walked over to the wall phone. She picked it up and brought it to her ear.
"Hello? Isabella Suarez and Sega Rivera, duelists extraordinaire speaking, how may I help you?" Bella asked.
"Hello, Isabe?" the voice on the other end said.
Isabella winched a little at the nickname that only one person called her. She quickly got over it as she recognized the voice on the other end.
"Godfather Shep! What's going on over at the illustrious DA?" Bella asked hiding the excitement behind her voice.
"Everything is going great! Well, except for my nephews that is…" Sheppard said with a sad tone in his voice.
The news was a shock to her; nephews? Her godfather had NEPHEWS?
"When did you get nephews? I didn't know any of your family members married and had kids." Isabella said in confusion.
"Yes, my younger brother married and had two boys both mirror identical twins; though one is older by 10 minutes." Sheppard said the sad tone still in his voice. "He also had a few others but I never met them."
"Oh, they moved?" Isabella asked.
"In a way, yes. Anyways, I'm getting off track here. I need you two to come to DA for a special duel." Sheppard said.
"Godfather Shep, we're pretty booked for the month." Isabella said a tad sadly.
"I think you're going to change your mind after I tell you the opponents." Sheppard said with a bit slyly.
"Please there are no opponent's who'll…" Isabella began to say when Sheppard cut her off.
"The opponent's are heroes of the Cult War that occurred over in Domino City, California." Sheppard said.
Isabella's eyes widened in shock and surprise; the heroes of the Cult War were said to be astounding duelists able to beat decks that had powerful rare cards with decks that were considered weaker then anything. She was dimly aware that she had dropped the phone and yelled one thing at the top of her lungs.
"!" Isabella screamed.
Said girl jumped at the scream and splashed some hot water onto her arm. She swore as she turned the hot water off, switched it to cold and ran her arm under it for a few seconds. She then grabbed a towel and dried her arm off. Still muttering under her breath, the girl walked out with glare on her face.
"What's all the yelling about Belle?" Sega asked.
"! OMGOMGOMGOMG!" Belle said in a hyper fast tone.
Sega tilted her head to the side, like a computer that had been given a odd command. She let out a sigh and pinched the bridge of her nose.
"Okay, Bella, no more sweets for you." Sega said as she crossed her arms. "Now can you repeat what you said?"
Isabella caught her breath and then smiled.
"Why don't you get the news straight from the horse's mouth?" Isabella said as she picked up the discarded phone.
Before she placed the phone on the receiver, she pressed a button that had a speaker of sorts with lines coming out. There was booming laughter on the other side as soon as the speaker came on.
"HAHAHAHAHAHA. Still overexcited I see Isabe. Hello, Sega! How are things going in the pros?" Sheppard asked.
At the sound of the voice, Sega instantly smiled to herself; she recognized the voice of Belle's godfather.
"Doing okay, Sheppard. Aster's still eluding us though." Sega said in a bitter tone.
"I'm sorry to hear that. Anyways, the reason Isabe is excited is two war heroes from the Cult War have come to DA. Unfortunately they have gotten into a bit of trouble and I'm having them duel in an exhibition match. I was wondering if you would like to duel them in a tag team match." Sheppard explained.
"Tempting as it sounds; we're booked for the rest of the month so I'm afraid the answer will have to be…" Sega was saying when Sheppard interrupted.
"Did I mention that the two you would be facing is Optimus Prime and Megatron, leaders of the Autobot and Decepticon gangs?" Sheppard cut in making Sega's apology stop mid sentence.
THAT piece of information caused Sega to stop in her explanation and made her and Isabella's jaw drop. The two most famous gang leaders in a tag team duel? If they beat them, their reputation would soar! Everyone had heard of the two and how they were unbeatable in duels due to cards that had the famous Transformers™ designed after them. Sega looked at Isabella who mouthed 'take it!' Sega opened her mouth and spoke up.
"When do you want us there?" She asked.
"Tomorrow if it's possible." Sheppard said.
If it had been a videoconference they would've seen the smile that was on his lips. He knew how to get the two to agree with him.
"We'll be there. Later Godfather Shep!" Isabella called.
"Good-bye, Isab. See you soon." Sheppard said as he hung up.
The call ended and Sega turned to Isabella.
"Bella, pack. I'm calling our manager." Sega said.

Sheppard's office-same day 4 hours later
Andrew Sheppard looked at the paperwork in front of him and sighed; it was 4 hours after he had called Sega and Isabella, his goddaughter, to the tag team match against Optimus and Megatron. He looked up as the door to his office chimed indicating that there was someone outside.
"Come in." Sheppard said as he looked back down at his papers.
The door slid open and three people walked in. Sheppard looked up and saw Elita, Syrus and Chumley.
"Sheppard, I'll cut right to the chase. Me, Syrus and Chumley were also at the Abandoned Dorm. So I am willing to be Optimus's partner." Elita said, her hazel eyes stone hard showing that 'no' wasn't an answer.
"I was there too! I should be with Optimus!" Syrus cried.
"And don't forget me! I mean, it wasn't lishus for me just to go to the cafeteria and leave Prime alone." Chumley said.
Sheppard sighed after he heard the explanations; Optimus did say that his girlfriend and his newfound friends would defend him. The high principal clasped his hands together and looked the three in the eyes.
"I know, Jaden informed me when I saw him. But the decision is made. Jason has demanded for a rule free request from the winners of the match." Sheppard said.
"Though that is highly unlikely. Those slackers are facing Isabella and Sega, pro tag team duelists." Another voice said.
The group turned to see a strange looking clown that looked like he belonged in the 'It' movie…oh wait, that's Crowler everyone. Crowler walked over to the desk of Sheppard and placed another batch of work in front of him. The 'good doctor' then chortled to himself.
"Soon, those Slackers will be out of my hair and Alexis will dump that loser Jaden once he loses and begin dating Chazz!" Crowler cackled aloud.
He stopped once he got a feeling that there was something dangerous behind him. He turned around to see Elita's frame radiating with anger. His eyes widen when he realized something.
"I just said my plans aloud didn't I?" Crowler asked.
Syrus, Sheppard and Chumley nodded at the doctor who turned even paler then what he was. He looked at Elita with a nervous smile on his face when there was a loud SLAP that echoed in the confined space. Crowler was sent careening into the wall headfirst and was promptly knocked out; on his face was a large red handprint. Elita huffed and looked at Sheppard; she smiled sweetly and then held out her hand.
"Chancellor, I'll take the detention slip now." Elita said.
"I'm willing to say that this incident never happened. Besides, he's in enough trouble with Jason." Sheppard said with a smile but immediately sobered up. "I'm sorry to say this but Jaden and Jason have agreed to be one another's partners…"
Elita's eyes widened in shock and surprise; the two brothers that now fought one another had agreed to something? She was about to speak again when she heard a faint WHUMP-WHUMP of helicopter blades. Sheppard looked up in surprise.
"My, that was quick." He simply said as he stood up and left the office with Elita and the two Slifers following after him. Crowler was still on the ground knocked out.
Pier
Sega and Isabella walked out of the helicopter and glanced around. Several people were waiting at the landing strip with several banners saying 'Welcome to Duel Academy, Sega and Isabella!' The student body had been informed of the pros coming ten minutes before the helicopter had landed. Two Obelisk blue boys walked forward with a rose in their hands.
"Miss Rivera/Miss Suarez, it is an honor to meet you in person." The Obelisk blues said. "My name is Mortimer/Jeremy."
Mortimer handed the rose he had to Sega while Jeremy handed his rose to Isabella, who took the rose with a small grin on her face.
"Wow, I could get use to this." Sega whispered to her best friend who nodded in agreement.
"Now there is one thing we ask." The two blues asked in unison.
"Oh? What's that?" Sega asked.
The two blues got onto their knees and brought out a small black box.
"Will you marry us?"
Sega and Isabella's eyes widened for a few brief seconds. Then they reacted like any angry woman would; they kicked the two in the family jewels and ripped their roses up.
"Remember what I said about me being used to this? I take it back." Sega growled.
"The nerve of those two…we're too young for marriage." Isabella muttered.
"Hey there! Welcome to DA!" A young voice shouted.
The two pros turned to the voice and saw a boy with brown hair with a red shock on top, wearing a white coat with red lining it and a black muscle shirt underneath the jacket, black jeans and red sneakers. Next to him was a girl with dishwasher blonde hair and wearing a white uniform with red lining the edges of it. The two looked at one another then back at the boy.
"And you are…?" Isabella asked hesitantly.
"My name is Jaden Yuki…but I prefer Optimus Prime." The boy said.
"OPTIMUS PRIME!" the girls cried.
Optimus flinched a bit at the cry and nodded with a sheepish grin. Sega smirked as she looked Optimus over.
"Hmmmm, never took you to be a cute one." Sega purred to Optimus.
The Autobot leader blushed a bit while the girl next to him sent her a steely glare.
"Hey back off! He's MY boyfriend." The girl said acidly.
Sega looked at the girl and put her hands up in mock surrender.
"Hey I meant no offense. I was only telling the truth." Sega said with a grin. "By the way, who are you?"
"Alexis Rhodes but call me Elita One." Elita said as she looped her arm through Prime's.
"It's nice to meet you, but where is the other leader slash hero of the Cult War?" Isabella asked.
The two Autobot members stiffened and then looked at one another. Optimus frowned, leaned down and whispered something to Elita. After a bit of whispering, the two looked back at the girls.
"Follow me after you meet Sheppard." Optimus said as he turned and walked down a path.
Sega and Isabella looked at each other and shrugged. They followed Prime completely unaware of a hawk soaring overhead; capturing everything it saw in the tiny camera on its leg.
TFTFTFTFTFTFTFTFTFTF
Sheppard's office
"Ah, Isabe and Sega! Nice of you two to come to DA." Sheppard said as he stood up.
"Godfather!" Isabella cried part of it in joy and the other part in exasperation at the nickname.
"Godfather?" Optimus asked with a raised eyebrow.
"Yes, Jaden, I was asked to be Isabella's godfather after Jack helped Isabella's father." Sheppard said.
Upon hearing his father's name, Optimus cast his eyes down so that the bangs of his hair hid them. Elita saw this and intertwined her hand with his. Optimus reacted and looked at his girlfriend with a smile. Sega cleared her throat reminding the two that there was an audience.
"So where is the other los…I mean, challenger? I thought there was two of em." Sega pointed out.
"Yeah, there is a second one but he's back at his dorm. Should I and do I…?" Optimus asked as he looked at Sega then at his uncle.
"Yes, Jaden, you do have permission. Since Jason took over the dorm and is rebuilding it, everyone has permission to go to the dorm. Though Jason makes sure no one gets even close to the fence." Sheppard said.
"Alright, thanks Uncle." Optimus said as he walked out.
Isabella was shocked; the nephew that her godfather had mentioned was right in front of her! Sega was also shocked that Sheppard's nephew was a war hero. The two, still in a disbelieving state, followed Optimus and Elita out the door.
TFTFTFTFTFTFTFTF
New Decepticon Dorm
When the small group came out of the forest they were stunned; the run downed dorm was brand spanking new! The colors were purple and black with a hologram of the insignia of the Cons in front of the doors. It was at least three times larger then Obelisk Blue dorm and was like a palace and a fortress all rolled into one. Sega looked at it with her jaw dropped.
"WOW! I don't know who the leader of these guys is but I gotta say he's got style." Sega said with a smile.
"No kidding, I thought the boys and girls blue dorms were big but this make them look like sandcastles." Isabella said.
"HALT! WHO ARE YOU?" a voice shouted.
Sega and Isabella jumped at the voice and looked to their left with Prime and Elita. Three boys each wearing the Decepticon uniform stood with dangerous intent in their eyes. They seemed to recognize Optimus and Elita but their attention was on Sega and Isabella.
"Who us?" Sega asked innocently.
"Yeah, you. Why are you here at Lord Megatron's dorm?" one of them asked in an angered tone.
"Jeez, touchy touchy. This is Isabella and I'm…" Sega began when another boy interrupted her.
"Ah, the two tag team champs. Lord Megatron informed us that you would be coming with…Optimus Prime." The boy in the middle said, spitting out Jaden's gang name with venom. "Please follow us."
The three started to walk off when Isabella called after them.
"Hey, who are you guys?" Isabella asked.
The three boys turned around and spoke to them.
"I'm Bombshell." The guy on the left said.
"Name's Shrapnel." The guy on the right growled.
"And I'm Kickback." The middle guy said. "The Insecticons. Now come. Lord Megatron does NOT like to be kept waiting."
The three turned on their heels and walked to the doors of the new dorm. Sega looked at Isabella and smirked.
"Wonder what their parents did for a living." Sega said.
"They don't have parents. None of us do anymore." A new voice said in a monotone voice.
The group spun around to see Soundwave standing there with Laserbeak on his shoulder. He glanced at Sega and Isabella through his visor and walked off. The group looked at one another then ran after the three Decepticons.
TFTFTFTFTFTFTFTFTFTF
Inside the Decepticon Dorm
"Where were you four?" The group of Insecticons shouted.
"Soundwave stopped us and gave us the lowdown of the dorm rules." Optimus said, his face expressionless.
"Ah, well, I think Lord Megatron can overlook your tardiness due to that. Here's his room." Bombshell said as the door opened silently.
The grouped walked in and saw that there was another door.
"HEY! What gives?" Sega shouted at the Insecticons turning around.
But when she looked behind her, she saw that the door had closed.
"WHA? We're locked in!" Sega cried.
"Relax. Megatron is opening the door." Prime said.
True to his word, the door opened with music blaring out of the room.
(Insert Land of Confusion by Disturbed.)
Everyone in the group clapped their hands over their ears as they walked in. The room was dark save for a few lights coming from a stereo system that had speakers that covered the wall and would take at least 20 Syrus's to match the height. It was blasting out the music that rocked everyone to his or her cores. Elita noticed a light coming from a TV set a few feet away from the stereo system and tried to tell Optimus, but the music drowned out her voice. Sega was getting pretty pissed off at the noise and marched over to the stereo's plug. The pro grabbed it and yanked it out of the cord just as the music ended. As soon as the plug hit the ground Sega screamed.
"WHO THE HELL DOES THIS GUY THINK HE IS!" Sega roared at the top of her lungs.
"Sega! Calm down!" Isabella hissed.
"Ah, I see that the pros have arrived. I expected more…challenging duelists and not some little girls." A cold voice said from the area of the TV screen.
"WHO ARE YOU CALLING A LITTLE GIRL! I'LL SMASH YOU!" Sega screamed.
"Computer, lights!" The voice said as lights sprang on.
"OW! My eyes!" Sega said after her eyes adjusted.
Isabella and Sega looked to where the voice was and saw a boy with black brown hair wearing a black jacket with purple lining the sides. His face looked a lot like Jaden's but Sega and Isabella were thunderstruck by the boy's eyes; they were a dull crimson red and they were filled with one emotion and one emotion only; that emotion was hate.
Isabella shivered with fear; just by looking the boy in the eyes struck fear into her.
What the hell is he? Isabella thought to herself. How has he held onto so much hatred?
The boy cracked his neck with a few sickening crunches causing Isabella cringed while Sega just glared at the boy.
"Who the hell are you?" Sega demanded.
"Megatron is who I am." Megatron snarled, his voice colder then anything.
"Really? I thought Megatron was a big bumbling robot." Sega said with a smirk.
Megatron didn't say anything as he glared at the girl with a smirk on his face.
"You know, I expected you to be an outdated console." Megatron mocked after the glare died down.
The vile gang leader had struck a nerve and he knew it. Sega's face flushed red with anger at the insult. Megatron pushed his taunt before the girl could retaliate.
"How dare you mock the oldest and greatest console ever built! I mean, were your parents video game junkies? I bet when your father asked your mother what kind of gift she would want when she was giving you life, she yelled out 'SEGA!' the doctor must've thought that was your name and wrote it down." Megatron mocked.
"Oh no he didn't." Isabella groaned.
"Yeah he did." Optimus sighed.
"Hm? Where did that girl go to?" Megatron muttered.
It was true; Sega was gone. Megatron's eyes narrowed when he heard the girl return. He turned toward her with a neutral expression. In the girl's hands were a knife and a pole.
"You know living on the ranch; I learned a few things…like castrating." Sega said with an evil gleam in her eyes.
"Humph. Let me help you." Megatron said coolly.
He slid his jacket off and tossed it off to the side; Sega was confused but moved forward, holding the instruments high. Megatron's expression was still devoid of emotion as he took off his black t-shirt revealing his chest.
Isabella choked as she breathed in a strangled breath, Elita's eyes widen in shock and revulsion, Optimus winced as he saw the chest fully revealed and Sega stopped advancing toward the gang leader, the tools dropping to the ground as her hands flew over her mouth; true, she could be cruel to many people who anger her, but she was still a human who could pity or feel disgust.
There, revealed to four people, two strangers, a female who had fought alongside the Yuki brothers in the war and the final one who was the only blood relative Jason had, was a complete mess; scars crisscrossed Jason's entire body, some pink and healthy but others…others were crudely stitched together and whenever he moved, blood slowly oozed out through the stitching. A few pieces of flesh were missing in chunks showing the muscles underneath the flesh near the sides of the leader's stomach. In the center of the boy's chest was the Decepticon face, seared right on; the group could still smell the smell of burnt flesh.
A normal person would've died from the wounds but somehow someway the Decepticon gang leader had survived them all. But there was one more scar that the vile gang leader had yet to reveal; Megatron turned around and everyone saw two large wound slanting in a diagonal across the spine and cross each other in the middle of the spine. It slowly oozed out blood as Jason turned around to show the small audience he had. The dark boy smiled with a dark pleased look on his face when he heard someone speak.
"Ohhhhhhhhhhh, I'm gonna hurl…"
The person who said it was Sega.
The girl ran from the bedroom and into the private bathroom. The three others were dimly aware of the retching sounds as they stared at Jason's back. The dark leader turned and glared at Isabella.
"You can bring that spirit of yours out now…" Jason said as his own spirits came to him.
Isabella was jolted out of her daze like stare at Jason's voice. Shakily, she opened up her deck case and brought out a card.
"P-Ph-Phantom M-M-Mac-Machine D-D-Drag-Dragon, come out please." Isabella said uneasily.
A dragon that looked like it was part cyborg with a gun for its left hand appeared next to the trembling girl. She was still staring at Jason's body and mentally cringed. She had never seen someone with so many scars and the thoughts on how he got them weren't pleasant either. The dragon looked at his mistress and then at Jason and his spirits. The dragon's eyes narrowed when he saw a bright aura swirling like a gale around the boy.
Isabella? Phantom Machine Dragon thought to his mistress.
What…Oh Phantom…what's wrong? Isabella asked in her mind.
That boy…he is on a different level then most duelists. Phantom thought.
Really? How so? Isabella thought.
His aura…it is filled with such lust…a dangerous lust for power and…and revenge. But that is not all. Phantom thought said.
There is more! Isabella thought.
Yes, his aura is filled with disgust and…sadness…a sweeping sense of lost and horror…like he had seen something that a boy his age shouldn't have seen. Phantom said via the mind.
"Well? Does your spirit speak, Isabella?" Jason asked interrupting the two.
"Yes I speak. Why? Are your spirits too dumb to talk for themselves?" Phantom asked.
"Watch your tongue lizard! You are weak compared to us!" a robot with wings on his back and guns on his arms said.
"Starscream! Silence!" Jason hissed at the spirit then looked over behind Elita and Optimus. "Ah, I see that the console has come back to the world of the living. Perhaps her spirit is in a better mood."
Sega looked pale and her eyes were devoid of anything after the sight she had witnessed. She got her wits back, however, as she brought a card out.
"Tiburscia, come on out." Sega said.
A white tiger with black stripes and had metal gauntlets on its feet and hands appeared next to Sega. The tiger looked at Megatron and instantly cringed. Sega stared at the spirit in shock; nothing scared Tiburscia! Nothing!
Tibs! What the hell is wrong with you! Sega thought.
Sorry Sega…but this kid…he has so much darkness in his heart. I thought I saw something glaring back at me, but…
"Another silent spirit…what was uncle Sheppard thinking when he brought you two in?" Megatron asked cutting through the spirit's thoughts.
"RRRGH! I'm not silent! And Sega and Bella will crush you into the ground!" Tiburscia roared.
"My patience is at an end…as is this meeting. Get out." Megatron said as he slipped his coat and shirt back on though not in that order.
The group stood silent for a few seconds before Tiburscia roared and leapt at one of the Decepticon spirits. Sega spun around and shouted.
"Tibs! NO!"
But the cry was in vain as Tiburscia attacked the leader; however, something glowed from Megatron's chest and it sent the tiger spirit hurtling backwards into the wall. Megatron glared at the downed spirit; for a fraction of a second, Sega and Isabella saw a being with red eyes and a giant…scope on his arm also glaring standing over the boy as a shadowy wisp. It turned its glared at the two before becoming a dark mist. The dark gang leader then spoke.
"Get out of my room and out of my dorm."
The voice of the Yuki sibling was so cold and harsh that it made everyone's neck hairs stand on end. The four quickly ran out of the dorm and they didn't stop running until they were far enough away from the Decepticon dorm.

Later
Sega and Isabella collapsed on the couch in the Girl's Blue Dorm, huffing and puffing. Elita also breathed heavily as she looked at the pros.
"What fucking hell is his problem? I mean, I've never met someone that had that much anger in his system." Sega asked.
"I don't know Sega. Megatron…he…just changed right before the end of the war." Elita explained.
"And no one knows why?" Isabella asked stunned.
"Only Megatron knows…and he's not talking."
Elita then stretched her arms and smiled.
"Well, I'm heading back to the red dorm. See ya tomorrow, guys." Elita said with a wave as she started her journey back to Slifer.
Leaving the two pros to looked over their cards for the next day.

Slifer Red Dorm"
"Let's see…what deck should I use? G1? Movies? RID? Armada? Energon, Animated or Cybertron?" Optimus asked to himself.
"Prime? What's up?" Came Elita's voice as she walked through the opened door.
"Oh, hey Elita. Just trying to figure out what deck to use." Optimus said as he turned to his girlfriend.
"I'm worried…you know Jason will possibly attack you the minute you show weakness." Elita said as she wrapped her arms around his waist.
"I know…but I won't be weak in front of him." The gang leader said as he turned toward the girl.
He nearly jumped when he saw how close the girl's face was. He smirked and the two moved their faces closer together when Optimus's PDA went off. Groaning in annoyance, the Autobot gang leader picked up the device and opened it up.
"Yeah? Starscream? What's going on?"
"Hello, Prime. I've been given a message from Lord Megatron…he will beat the two pros old-school style." Starscream said on the other end.
Optimus's eyes widen at the old code he and his brother used back during the war. He got his mind back together and nodded.
"Alright, tell him I'll go old-school as well." Optimus replied.
"Understood. And good luck."
Optimus hung up after Starscream did and looked at Elita.
"What's up?" Elita asked.
"My decision has been made for me…Megatron is using G1." Optimus said as he left with Elita to go to sleep…him on the couch and her on the bed.

Decepticon Dorm
Megatron gazed out of his dorm room window with a look of anger.
Crowler thinks he can get rid of me so easily? HA! He will soon see the power of the Decepticons. I hope for my sake that I'm not scarred for life. The gang leader thought.
For a few brief seconds, there were several giant beings behind him with the same glowing eyes that he had; in the instant they had appeared they then vanished. Megatron turned around and climbed into his bed. Soon he would be able to use the one card Pegasus had forbidden him to use.

The Next Day
Optimus walked to his regular classes like a normal day. The duel was schuleded after the third block of class. He walked in and was met with the one person he despised right at the moment.
Chazz Princeton.
"Well, well, well. If it isn't Optimus Prime, the loser of the academy…I hope you get expelled, that way Alexis is all mine." Chazz said in a snobby tone.
Optimus only glared at Chazz as he tried to get to his seat; but Chazz's goons blocked him and Chazz continued to talk.
"I don't know what she sees in you but your nothing but a loser compared to me."
"If he's a loser then why did he defeat you so badly at the dueling exam?" Megatron asked as he walked in.
Chazz couldn't come with a smart comeback as everyone from blue to red giggled at the low blow. Megatron glared at Chazz and frowned.
"I suggest you leave my…brother…alone. If I find out that you haven't done that simple task…well, let's just say that everyone will be calling you Ms. Princeton."
Chazz subconsciously put his hand in his private area, which unknown to him, Rumble and Frenzy took pictures of and after putting in a funny caption, sent it to the DA's leading gossip letter. Megatron smirked as he watched the two scamper away after the mission was completed. He then schooled his face as he glared at Chazz who shuddered at the glare.
"I suggest you give up on your plans on wooing Miss Elita One…she would rather quit DA if it meant being with Prime." Megatron growled.
The group backed away for fear of the Decepticon leader was great; all except Chazz. He scoffed and went on his way to his desk. Megatron glared at Optimus and sneered.
"I wouldn't let that boy push you any more Prime…if you do then you're a disgrace to those who fell…I wonder how Ultra Magnus would feel if he saw you now." Megatron snarled as he walked away.
Optimus clenched his fist in anger as he watched his brother take his seat; he had thrown a low blow and the Con leader knew it. He sighed as he took his seat. It was going to be a long three hours.

Three hours later.
Optimus was working at his desk in Dueling History when the PA system turned on and Crowler's voice came through.
"Will the entire student body along with Isabella Suarez, Sega Rivera, Jaden and Jason Yuki report to the duel Arena for a exhibition duel?"
Immediately everyone began to file out with Optimus and Megatron in the front. There was a lot of chatter behind the two; many kids were wishing them luck while several Yellows and Reds were placing bets with the blues about who would win; all the blues chose Sega and Isabella while the Yellows and Reds chose Optimus and Megatron. The two brothers drowned out the noises as they went into the locker rooms to prepare for the match of their lives.

Duel Arena
"You ready Bella?" Sega asked her best friend.
"Yeah. I'm ready…what about you?" Isabella asked.
"Course I'm ready! I've been born ready!"
Isabella couldn't help but giggle at her friend's antics; she could tell that Sega was still thinking about Megatron and the horrible scars he had. She hadn't been able to blot them from her mind either; it was a wonder that she was able to sleep at all. Sega was a different story; she had managed to sleep but she had a real nasty dream on how he had gotten the scars that left her groaning in the night. The two steeled themselves when a speaker came to life.
"Hailing from the United States of America as pro league champions, here to grace us with their angelic appearance and to give the butt stomping of all time to two worthless duelists…it is my sole privilege to give you…Isabella Suarez and Sega Rivera!" Crowler shouted into the mike he was now holding.
The two female tag pros stepped out of the locker room and were greeted by resounding cheers from the females and catcalls form the males. The girls waved to their adoring public as they walked to the stage. The minute the stood on it everyone got quiet as Crowler was about to announce the other two. Before he could speak though, an air raid siren blared out of the sound speakers.
The lights dimmed down as a holographic logo of the Decepticons and Autobots were displayed.

Another mission, the powers have called me away
Another time to carry the colors again
My motivation, an oath I've sworn to defend
To win the honor of coming back home again!
No explanation will matter after we begin
Unlock the dark destroyer that's buried within
My true vocation and now my unfortunate friend
You will discover a war you're unable to win!
I'll have you know
That I've become
Indestructible!
Determination that is incorruptible
From the other side, a terror to behold
Annihilation will be unavoidable
Every broken enemy will know
That their opponent had to be invincible
Take a last look around while you're alive
I'm an indestructible master of war!
Another reason, another cause for me to fight
Another fuse uncovered now, for me to light
My dedication to all that I've sworn to protect
I carry out my orders without a regret!
My declaration embedded deep under my skin
A permanent reminder of how it began
No hesitation when I am commanded to strike
You need to know that you're in for the fight of your life!
You will be shown
How I've become
Indestructible!
Determination that is incorruptible
From the other side, a terror to behold
Annihilation will be unavoidable!
Every broken enemy will know
That their opponent had to be invincible
Take a last look around while you're alive
I'm an indestructible master of war!
During the solo, the kids all could watch in amazement as a single figure arose from the ground like a shadow of death with two blazing red eyes that glared at everyone before vanishing.
I'm indestructible!
Determination that is incorruptible
From the other side, a terror to behold
Annihilation will be unavoidable!
Every broken enemy will know
That their opponent had to be invincible
Take a last look around while you're alive
I am indestructible!
Indestructible!
Determination that is incorruptible
From the other side, a terror to behold
Annihilation will be unavoidable!
Every broken enemy will know
That their opponent had to be invincible
Take a last look around while you're alive
I'm an indestructible master of waaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrr!
Chancellor Sheppard's voice cut through the ending of the music.
"The two contestants are heroes from a war that ravaged a innocent city and where they were forced to grow up faster then they should've. Allow me to introduce the heroes of the Cult War…Jaden and Jason Yuki better known as Optimus Prime and Megatron, my nephews."
The two boys walked out of the lockers; one glaring at everyone, the other waving at them. The two walked to the arena with several people cheering them; many were from the Decepticons while there where a select few who cheered for the brother due to them saving loved ones. Elita's cheering was the loudest and Optimus blew her a kiss much to the chagrin of the males who were in the blue dorm. The leaders soon reached the arena and looked at their opponents.
The four faced one another as they handed each other their decks. After five shuffles, the decks were returned to their owners and slotted into the disks; the custom disks of Optimus and Megatron and the academy issued disks for Sega and Isabella. The four walked toward the four corners of the arena and deployed their disks.
"Let's duel!" the four shouted.
And so it begins. Sega and Isabella are gonna be in the fight of their career. Who will this battle of minds and wit? Stay tune to find out next time in Tag Team Tribulations part 2!
