Elita: "Has anyone seen YF? It's time to start the next chapter."
Chazz: "Who needs that Slacker! The Chazz and you are good enough Elita."
*Chazz takes Elita's Hand and kisses it. Elita gains a tick mark and kicks Chazz in the jewels.*
Elita: "Leave me alone Chazz! I will not…"
*Elita's rant dies as YF54 walks in looking like a Zombie. His eyes were sunken into his skull and had dark rings around the eyes. His clothes were ruffled like they were hastily thrown on and his shoes are on the wrong feet. Cast of GX pokes their heads out of their rooms and shivers.*
Camula: "YF! What in the nine realms of hell happened to you?"
*YF turns to Camula and speaks in a death laden tone.*
YF54: "Sorry…I…just…lost…a…dear…family…member…of…mine."
*Crew's eyes widened at the sentence and crowd around YF placing their hands on his back reassuringly.*
Optimus: "Easy YF, Easy. Take the rest of this off…we'll do the disclaimer and claimer."
*YF shakes head.*
YF54: "No…need…to…do…this."
Camula: "Darling, rest. You've been through a lot. Rest."
*Crew looks at Camula who makes a face at them*
Camula: "What? Just because I'm evil doesn't mean I'm Heartless!"
YF: "Dis…"
*YF falls to the ground and begins to snore*
Chazz: "Shit! He must've been really in mourning for not to get any sleep…let's get this done slackers."
Optimus: "YF54 doesn't own GX or Transformers. Those are owned separately by Hasbro and Konami."
Camula: "He does own the plot idea.
Zane: "Credit to Peach Wookie for creating the first TF-GX crossover."
An eerie fog rolled in onto the only freshwater lake on DA; the moon was a crescent shape in the midnight black sky similar to the Cheshire cat's grin. Several bats flew through the air seemingly guiding something through the water safely; that something was a boat of black wood. But it was inside the boat that the bats guarded for inside the boat was a sheet and a black coffin. The bats hovered over the boat as the coffin opened up as the fog parted.
The body of a female rose from the coffin; red ruby lips gleamed in the light as the woman chuckled darkly.
GXGXGXGXGXGXGXGXGXGXGXGXGX
Megatron snapped awake in his bed and bolted upright with a gasp. He panted slightly before he regained his breath.
He glanced out the window and scowled.
"A…girl…my dream was of a girl?" The Decepticon leader asked before he shook his head.
His glare deepened as he realized the one thing the dream could mean.
"No…not a girl…but the second shadow rider."
GXGXGXGXGXGXGXGXGXGXGXGXGX
Later
Megatron walked through the halls with the cold ruthless air surrounding him. He stopped and looked at a door before nodding to himself. He walked into the infirmary and saw Elita sitting next to the prone but stable forms of her brother, Atticus Rhodes, and Prime.
"How's Prime?" Megatron asked scaring Elita out of her skin.
The female Autobot member spun around and glared at him.
"Still out cold…same with Atticus. Why? What's going on?" Elita said her tone softening when she saw Megatron's look.
Megatron glared at the prone form of his brother before he spoke.
"I had a dream about a girl earlier …and it wasn't about Morgan." Megatron said his ruby eyes flashing.
Elita didn't know what Megatron usually dream about so she remained silent as Megatron continued.
"I think I was being warned that the second Shadow Rider was coming…or if she was already here." Megatron stated.
"Already? The second one is already here?" Elita said shocked.
"Yeah…and she might be the most dangerous one of them all." Megatron said before he glanced at Optimus's prone form.
"If Prime was awake I wouldn't worry…but we're short one member and in war…that's never a good thing." The Decepticon leader said as he left the hospital.
Elita watched the leader leave and silently prayed that her boyfriend would awaken and soon.
GXGXGXGXGXGXGXGXGXGXGXGX
Elsewhere
The woman from Megatron's dream put her hand out and spoke to the bats flying around her.
"Go, my pets! Find me my prey! So that I may succeed where Nightshroud failed!" the woman cried in a thick Transylvanian accent.
The bats heard and obeyed as they fell off to find the seven.
GXGXGXGXGXGXGXGXGXGXGXGXGX
Next morning
Megatron sat in Professor Sartyr's class listening in on how to use various spells and traps in conjunction with one another; however, a student's voice recalled him out of his dream-like state.
"Hey…did you guys hear about the Vampire?" A Ra asked his fellow students.
"Vampire?" Another Ra asked.
"Dude! I saw her with my own two eyes!" The Ra said before looking sheepish. "Well, my roommate did…but that's beside the point! She's got like theses killer fangs!"
The Ra students zeroed in on word 'she'.
"Wait! So this Vampire…is a chick!" The Ra to the boy's left said in shock.
Megatron got up from his seat and walked over to the Yellow Students. He stood behind the group and coughed.
The three turned and instantly paled when they saw the Decepticon Leader standing behind them.
"M-Megatron! Um…uh…what's up?" A student to the right asked nervously.
"I want info on that Vampire…and if you leave out a single detail…I will end your dueling career before it even began. Got it?" Megatron said coldly.
"S-s-s-sure! Well, from my roommate's description…the girl wears long dress, displaying her cleavage with long slits revealing the side of her legs, straps crossing her arms just below her shoulders attached to a cape and bat broaches below her cleavage and above the slits, gold armbands and bracelets on both arms and heeled shoes with laces continuing up her shins. She also has long straight green waist length hair with 1 large curl above her forehead." The student said hastily.
Megatron filed the info away and glared at the Student.
"Anything else?"
"Well…oh yeah! She wears this weird choker on her neck. It's like golden and has an eye in the center of it! That's all I can give you."
Megatron nodded in approval and turned around but not before speaking again.
"It would be in your best interest to warn the other students NOT to engage that woman in a conversation…it would be killer on your health." Megatron stated as he walked away and out the door as the bell rung.
GXGXGXGXGXGXGXGXGXGXGXGX
Hallways
As Megatron walked through the halls toward his uncle's office, he overheard several conversations and most of them were about the Vampire.
"That's right, the Vampire is a she!" one girl said to two of her friends.
"Well, all I can say is that she stays away from my boyfriend." Another girl said in a huff making Megatron shake his head.
Ignorant fools…the lot of them. They don't realize that there is a war being raged…Megatron thought as he made his way to the Chancellor's office.
Chancellor's Office
"Vampire!" Chazz said in a panic laced tone.
"It appears that the rumors going around aren't exactly rumors at all." Sheppard said with his hands clasped.
"…" Zane remained silent as Crowler spoke up.
"PLEASE! It's a practical Joke!" The teacher said smugly.
"A joke huh? Was it a joke that Prime ended up in a mild coma?" Megatron stated with venom.
"Is it safe to assume that this Vampire is the 2nd shadow rider?" Bastion asked.
"No doubt about it." Megatron said with conviction. "In dealing with the supernatural…one must always assume things are not what they seem."
"Agreed. But still, be on the lookout for ANYTHING suspicious." Sheppard said as he looked around.
"Right." The group said as one before they left.
GXGXGXGXGXGXGXGXGXGXGX
Slifer dorm-Chazz's room
Chazz sat at his desk with his entire deck spread out. He looked at a few before smirking.
"Let's see this vampire girl get the drop on the Chazz." Chazz said in third person as he added some cards in.
Unbeknownst to him, a vampire bat, its eyes glowing red, had taken home just above him and watched as he added cards in and/or took cards out.
The bat flew off quickly after Chazz completed the deck.
GXGXGXGXGXGXGXGXGXGXGXGX
Ra Yellow Dorm
Bastion was doing the same thing that Chazz was doing, altering his deck should he need to duel this vampire.
Just like at the Red dorm, the bat took up residence just in the rafters and watched as Bastion made adjustments to the deck. Its eyes glowed once before it flapped off after Bastion was done with the deck.
GXGXGXGXGXGXGXGXGXGXGXGX
Obelisk Blue Dorm-Crowler's office
"A vampire? What's next the boogeyman? Who would believe such nonsense?" Crowler asked himself as he went to work on his paperwork.
He too was unaware of the bat that was just underneath the window watching him as he worked.
Once the bat's curiosity was satisfied, it flew away to look at the last three key bearers.
GXGXGXGXGXGXGXGXGXGXGXGX
Obelisk Blue Boys Dorm-Zane's room
Zane went over his deck like Chazz and Bastion were doing, adding some cards in and taking a few out. He too was completely unaware of the vampire bat outside his window watching his every move.
Once Zane was done, the bat flew off to look at the one that had fallen to Nightshroud despite winning.
GXGXGXGXGXGXGXGXGXGXGXGX
Academy Hospital
Elita sighed to herself as she looked at the two sleeping forms of her brother and boyfriend. Despite them not being awake, she still talked to them if not to ease herself.
This time, the conversation was to Optimus; she took turns talking to the two.
"Prime...I'm glad that you got my brother back...but I'm dreading telling him what happened over the past years...telling him about mom and dad...that part is going to tear him up inside...and I'm nervous about telling him about...us. Don't get me wrong! You are the most wonderful person I ever met...but my brother is a bit...eccentric when it comes to my social life..." Elita said with a shudder as she remembered countless times when she was younger and her brother tried to set her up with several guys.
The vampire bat watched intently to the conversation; true, they weren't altering their decks but this would still prove to be helpful in the long run.
The bat flew off with its precious information to look at the final key keeper.
GXGXGXGXGXGXGXGXGXGXGXGXGX
Decepticon Dorm
Megatron sat in his darkened room, listening to the 'Diary of Jane' by Breaking Benjamin and strumming his electric guitar to most of the guitar chords.
He was currently shirtless revealing the ugly scars that adorned his body since the war and was just staring off into space as he recalled his past to reopen his healing wounds.
The bat stared in what could be described as shock at the numerous scars on the boy's body.
Megatron's head snapped up and looked in the direction of the bat; the bat felt shivers go down its spine as it felt the ruby eyes of the gang leader gaze into its own.
The bat, shaken, took off to inform its mistress of the seven...and to get the hell away from the cold, ruthless boy.
GXGXGXGXGXGXGXGXGXGXGXGXGX
?
The vampire sighed as she raised her arm above the rose petal bath that she had drawn for herself in her new castle. She smiled sweetly as one of her bat's returned to her.
"Ah, my precious...what did you bring me?" The vampire asked sweetly.
The bat's eyes glowed red as did the vampire girl's. In her left eye, it went through Bastion, Chazz, and Crowler with her right eye doing the same only in a different order; first Chazz, then Crowler and Bastion.
"So, this is our opposition...but who shall it be?" The vampire said before she gasped in wonder and shock.
Her right eye now showed Zane while her left showed Megatron glaring.
"Ah, they are both so handsome! But who shall be my first?" The woman said with lust.
Both did have qualities of an Alpha...but she didn't know Megatron's deck...so with a sigh, her left eye showed the same image of Zane.
"I guess...you shall be my first." The vampire said with a chuckle.
GXGXGXGXGXGXGXGXGXGX
DA-Chancellor's Office that night
"Good news, Chancellor. I searched the entire campus and there was no sign of a...What the?" Chazz shouted before he dove to the ground along with the others, except Megatron back in his clothes, as a hawk crashed through the glass screeching.
Megatron calmly extended his arm out and let the hawk perch on it as it began to preen itself after landing.
"Ah, Laserbeak...unlike some of my other warriors, you have yet to fail me...playback your findings my pet." Megatron said as he put the hawk on his shoulder and offered it some food.
The hawk screeched again before a tiny camera popped out of its helmet, grabbed the food from Megatron's hand and began a recording.
Everyone gasped as they saw the figure of a woman around the lake shore.
Sheppard's gaze hardened and then looked at the group.
"We're on it." Megatron said as he left with Laserbeak still on his shoulder.
The others quickly followed after the gang leader.
GXGXGXGXGXGXGXGXGXGXGXGXGX
Lake shore
Everyone, now with their disks strapped on, walked toward the shore of the lake and promptly gasped as a carpet came out.
"At least, she's giving us the red carpet treatment." Crowler said with a nervous chuckle.
"Crimson red...how disgustingly appropriate." Megatron commented.
"Who will the first one to duel her?" Bastion asked the group.
Crowler, meanwhile, back away in fear.
Unfortunately he walked right into the back of a local cactus plant. The sharp needles made the man scream and leap forward in front of the group.
"Crowler...how noble of you to offer yourself up...we will forever remember this sacrifice." Megatron said in a mocking tone.
"Heh, didn't think you were the brave type Crowler." Bastion said.
"We'll be right behind you, Doctor." Zane said without emotions.
"Yeah...a good ten feet away." Megatron said making the doctor tense up at the boy's sick humor.
The group was unaware of a portly red that had followed them was now running off toward the hospital.
GXGXGXGXGXGXGXGXGXGXGX
Academy Hospital
"SYRUS! Crowler's going to duel the vampire lady!" Chumley said as he ran into the hospital.
Syrus, who was visiting Prime, stood up and looked at the larger red.
"Good, he'll beat her easily...right?" Syrus asked.
"W-wrong!" A strained voice said making the others gasp.
"Optimus!"
"C-Crowler talks...talks a big game, b-but plays a terrible one. True, he's got some good cards...but he doesn't know how to utilize them." Prime said as he struggled to get up.
"HOLD IT RIGHT THERE MISTER! YOU ARE NOT GETTING UP FROM THAT BED YOU HEAR ME!" Elita all but roared at her boyfriend.
"Elita..." Prime whined but was silenced by her hand.
"No! You are not getting up you hear me! If I have to strap you down and then sit on you, then so be it!" Elita snapped.
Prime didn't know what made him say the next part but...he just proved that he was a minor pervert with it.
"I didn't know that you were into that kind of stuff, Lex. It kind of turns me on." Prime said with a goofy grin.
Elita had the decency to blush bright red before she smacked the chest of Prime making him yelp.
She turned on Syrus and Chumley with a scary looking face on.
"If you breathe a word of this conversation to ANYONE...I will make life hell here for you!" Elita said making the two nod quickly.
The two nodded rapidly before Elita reverted to her worried girlfriend mode.
The two slifers shot each other a glance.
Man, Elita is scary! They thought at the same time.
GXGXGXGXGXGXGXGXGXGXGX
Lake
Crowler stared at the red carpet that was upon the lake with a nervous gleam and wishing he was anywhere but here.
The doctor's inner ranting was interrupted by Chazz.
"So Crowler, what's the holdup?" Chazz asked.
"Yes, what is the trouble? It is, after all, rude to keep a lady waiting." Megatron said coldly as he stared at the fog covered lake.
Crowler glared at the two as he spoke.
"If you're in such a rush why don't you go first!" The man-thing shouted.
A sudden gust of wind made everyone go on edge. Megatron smirked as the fog cleared away.
"She's here..." The gang leader said as he felt the tingle of excitement roll down his spine.
True enough, the fog parted to reveal the boat and the woman.
She was what the Ra had described; she wore a long dress, displaying her cleavage with long slits revealing the side of her legs, straps crossing her arms just below her shoulders attached to a cape and bat broaches below her cleavage and above the slits, gold armbands and bracelets on both arms and heeled shoes with laces continuing up her shins.
She also had long straight green waist length hair with 1 large curl above her forehead. Her lips were blood red full and she smiled at the group.
"Gentlemen, do not worry. I shall come to you." The woman said as she stepped onto the floating carpet. Everyone tensed as the vampire came closer and closer.
The vampire looked at Dr. Crowler disgusted as he stood up.
"And who might you be?" The vampire asked.
"Why...I'm your challenger..." Crowler said nervously.
The Vampire's face distorted into further disgust as she looked at the man thing.
I think not...for I crave two others. The woman thought as she cast a glance at Zane and then at Megatron.
Megatron returned the gaze he received with a glare that made the Vampire step back as shadows swirled around the boy revealing nine giants, all with ruby eyes glaring at her.
"You are not worthy to duel me." The vampire said making Crowler's eyes twitch in anger.
"I BEG YOUR PARDON BUT I HAVE A PH.D IN DUELING! THAT TAKES NINE YEARS OF DUEL SCHOOL I'LL HAVE YOU KNOW!" Crowler screamed at the woman.
The vampire smirked before she spoke.
"If you are that anxious to lose your spirit key, then you may duel me, Camula Vampire Mistress of the shadows!" Camula now cried as several bats flew around her sides and her eyes glowed red.
The bats flew around the four other males who all flinched as they flew around them...well, the other three did but Megatron just calmly looked around at the swarm.
Megatron looked at the swirling mass before he put a hand out and a bat landed on his arm.
"Such beautiful beasts...they are animals like rats but they fly like the birds...a marvelous thing Mother Nature has done..." The boy said off in his own memories.
"Rubber Bats and plastic teeth...your tricks won't scare me away." Crowler said ignoring Megatron.
"That's not all...for if you lose, I shall take your soul...well, this little doll will." Camula said.
"You want his soul and the key!" Bastion cried.
"Forget it!" Chazz snarled.
Crowler had a different thought then the others though.
"Is that all? You don't want to give anything to your mummy...or even your pet werewolf?" The good doctor said in a joking manner.
Camula's mouth became a lot bigger and filled with razor teeth.
"Be careful what you wish for key keeper, for it may just come true." Camula said before she smiled.
"Now key keeper, come! Let us duel!" Camula cried.
The two drew their opening hands and looked them over.
"Duel!" They both cried out as their life counters were set to four thousand.
Camula: 4000/Crowler: 4000
Camula drew a card from her deck and looked at it before she spoke to Crowler.
"So key keeper...you don't believe in werewolves? Maybe this will change your mind! I summon Zombie Werewolf to the field in attack mode!"
(Zombie Werewolf-LV/4, Attribute/Dark, ATK/1200, DEF/1200, Type/Zombie/Effect. When this card is destroyed by battle and sent to the Graveyard, you can Special Summon 1 "Zombie Werewolf" from your Deck. That monster gains 500 ATK.)
A werewolf wearing torn green pants and a broken chain cuffs appeared on the field with a howl at the moon. Megatron scowled as he had run into this card back in the war...after her death.
"I shall set one card facedown and end."
"What do you take me for, a rookie amateur? That facedown is clearly a trap and the flea circus is bait...no matter, I'll bite." Crowler said as he drew his card.
The doc looked at the card he had drawn and slid it into his spell/trap card zone.
"On the other hand, you've bitten off more than you can chew! For I play the spell card, Ancient Gear Castle!"
(Ancient Gear Castle-Type/Spell/Continuous. Face-up "Ancient Gear" monsters gain 300 ATK. Each time a monster(s) is Normal Summoned or Set, put 1 counter on this card. If you Tribute Summon an "Ancient Gear" monster, you can substitute this card for a Tribute(s), if the number of counters is equal to or greater than the number of required Tribute(s).)
A castle made out of rusted metal and turrets arose behind Crowler.
"Thanks to this castle of mine, all Ancient Gear monsters gain an addition three hundred attack points. Next, I play the Ancient Gear Solider in attack mode!"
(Ancient Gear Soldier-LV/4, Attribute/Earth, ATK/1300+300=1600, DEF/1300, Type/Machine/Effect. If this card attacks, your opponent cannot activate any Spells and/or Trap cards until the End Phase of the Damage step.)
A rusty machine soldier broke through the earth and leveled its machine gun arm at Camula.
"It's time to give that oversized mutt his shots! Go, my soldier! Rapid Fire Hell storm!"
The monster complied as its chambers spun around slowly at first then picked up in speed. It launched a barrage of bullets that overwhelmed the werewolf.
The creature of the night howled in pain as it exploded and caused Camula some damage.
Camula: 3600/Crowler: 4000
"Guess Crowler's more of a cat person." Zane commented.
"Don't count that mutt out yet...it'll be back." Megatron said with a scowl.
"What?" Bastion asked confused.
"Zombie Werewolf is able to cheat death...by summoning another one from the deck. But that's not the worst part." Megatron said.
"What's the worst part?" Chazz asked.
"The second hound gains five hundred attack points making it stronger then Soldier."
"What?" Chazz and Bastion cried out.
Crowler giggled giddily, not hearing the conversation, before he cheered.
"I should really get out of the classroom more often! That was fun!" Crowler goaded.
"On the contrary, you should study up. Because unlike you, darling Megatron knows my monster's effect." Camula said with a sweet smile at the gang leader.
Megatron scowled at the woman at the smile she gave him.
True enough, undead hound returned and howled to the moon as its muscle mass increased slightly.
Zombie Werewolf-ATK/1700
"A minor setback." Crowler said as he gazed at the monster. "I set one card facedown and turn it over to you."
"Why thank you." Camula said as she drew a card.
The mistress of the night smirked at what she drew and placed it on one of her MZs.
"I play Vampire Bat in attack mode!"
(Vampire Bat-LV/3, Attribute/Dark, ATK/800, DEF/800, Type/Zombie/Effect. All face-up Zombie-Type monsters you control gain 200 ATK. If this face-up card on the field would be destroyed, you can send 1 "Vampire Bat" from your Deck to the Graveyard instead.)
A swarm of bats from Camula's boat appeared next to the mistress before becoming on into a giant bat.
Camula smirked as she gazed at her pet bat.
"Now that my Bat is in play, all Zombie-type monsters gain an additional two hundred attack points!"
Vampire Bat-ATK/1000
Zombie Werewolf-ATK/1900
"That's not good!" Chazz shouted.
"Now my hound of hell, go and destroy that soldier...with Midnight Pounce!"
The wolf howled in delight as it leapt onto the metal monster and managed to chew out a large chunk of its chest before the monster in question blew up.
Camula: 3600/Crowler: 3700
"Well, it appears that your mutt still has some bite to go along with its bark. But I still have more life points."
"For now you do. But you still forget my Vampire Bat! Go, attacking with swarming scourge!"
The large bat became several small ones again making Crowler frightened. As the tiny bats attacked him, he realized something that made him even more terrified.
I...I can actually feel their little teeth biting into me! This isn't some Duel Hologram! This is real! And that could mean only one thing! That Shadow games really do exist! Crowler thought in a panic.
Camula: 3600/Crowler: 2700
GXGXGXGXGXGXGXGXGXGXGXGXGX
Hospital
"Oh man...Crowler's taking a beating." Syrus said as he watched the duel with Elita and Chumley on his PDA.
"Oh man, he can't! If he loses, he'll lose his soul along with that spirit key!" Chumley said.
"The bigger question is...what'll we do?" Elita asked concerned.
Optimus grunted as he tried to sit up but was stopped by a sharp glare from Elita. The gang leader quickly lied back down and silently wondered how he was going to get out of the hospital.
GXGXGXGXGXGXGXGXGXGXGXGXGXGX
With Crowler
The swarm of bats became one as they flew back to Camula.
"For rubber bats, they pack quite a punch don't they?" Camula asked the now kneeling doctor.
"Listen dear, you don't have to endure this...just give up now and I shall duel either the one in white..." Camula said while looking at Zane.
"Hear that Zane? Sounds like you're her type." Chazz said with a grin.
"...Or I shall duel the one shrouded in Darkness." Camula said now looking at Megatron.
"I guess Megatron is more her blood type." Bastion said in a joking manner.
"You better can it, Misawa...before I remove that large head of yours from the rest of your body." Megatron stated coldly as he stared Camula down.
"So what do you say, darling? I duel either one of those two and you go free."
"As tempting as that offer is...and believe me, it IS tempting because you threw in Megatron...I won't allow you near my pupils! I am the headmaster of the most famous Duel academy in the world! So to get to Zane and Megatron...you have to get through yours truly!" Crowler roared.
"But you can barely stand!" Chazz thundered out.
"I'll be fine, after all I have a few tricks up my sleeves." Crowler said before he pressed a button on his disk.
"I play the trap card, Damage Condenser! Now thanks to this trap, all the damage you dealt me, I can summon a monster whose attack points are equal to the damage I took. In other words, the pain I take, the more hurt you gain!"
A machine that sparked with electricity appeared before blowing up to reveal...
"Arise, Ancient Gear Soldier! And since you attacked, you must end your turn."
"Fine. I end. Make your move."
"With pleasure!" Crowler shouted as he drew.
The doc looked at the card he had drawn and saw that it would come in handy later. But now he saw a card that could greatly help him out.
"I release my Ancient Gear Soldier in order to play...Ancient Gear Beast in attack mode!"
(Ancient Gear Beast-LV/6, Attribute/Earth, ATK/2000+300=2300, DEF/2000, Type/Machine/Effect. This card cannot be Special Summoned. The effects of your opponent's monsters that this card destroys by battle are negated. If this card attacks, your opponent cannot activate any Spell or Trap Cards until the end of the Damage Step.)
A large hound made up of rusted metal arose onto the field before it growled at the two monsters.
"Now my beast! Attack that hound!"
"Has Crowler lost it?" Chazz asked in shock.
"No...you forget that Beast has the effect of negating a monster effect even if it activates in the grave." Megatron said with a small smirk. "An impressive idea to say the least."
As the mechanical monster bit down on the wolf, it howled in agony before it blew up and dealt Camula damage.
Camula: 3000/Crowler: 2700
"I'll end at that."
"My move then." Camula said as she drew a card.
The instant she looked at it, she laughed cruelly.
I have just drawn your demise. I play the field spell card, Infernalvania!"
(Infernalvania-Type/Spell/Field. Once per turn, during the Main Phase, the turn player can discard 1 Zombie-Type monster to destroy all monsters on the field. If this effect is used, the turn player cannot Normal Summon or Set that turn.)
As Camula slotted the card in her field zone the background changed to a castle overlooking a steep cliff. Megatron scowled when he saw that card.
"Not good. Thanks to the field spell, she now can destroy all the cards Crowler has."
"But she'll lose the Bat right?" Bastion asked.
"Wrong." Megatron said as he watched. "The bat can stave off its demise by sending another copy to the graveyard. That move will leave Crowler open for an attack."
"I now will use the power of Infernalvania! I shall discard my Vampire Lord to destroy all monsters on the field." Camula said as she sent the card to the grave.
Crowler's monster turned to rusted dust before being blown into the graveyard while Camula's bat became similar to rose petals about to go into the graveyard. But Camula smiled as she grabbed her deck and a copy of the Vampire Bat.
"I send another copy of Vampire bat to the graveyard in order to persevere my own monster."
The petals reformed into the bat making everyone tense. Crowler groaned as he glared the card down.
"Now my bat, attack Crowler directly!"
The bat was joined by others and they all flew toward the doctor. They all began to bite into him making him groan in pain.
Camula: 3000/Crowler: 1700
"Crowler! You have to let us take over!" Zane shouted at the doctor.
"N-no! I-I won't a-allow it! You all must protect...the...keys." Crowler said as he crashed onto the ground.
"You can't expect us to sit and do nothing!" Zane argued.
"Yes, darling, step in and save your professor...it's obvious he can't save himself." Camula said.
"WRONG!" A familiar voice shouted making Camula gasp.
Everyone turned to see Chumley, Syrus and Optimus with Optimus on Chumley's back. Chumley set the gang leader down, but Syrus had gotten pulled away by Zane so he had started to fall...well, he did start but was stopped by...
"Megatron...why are you helping me up?" Prime asked in a whisper.
"Because you're my rival...and if you look weak, then I look weak." Megatron snapped in a hiss before looking around. "Say...where's your girl, Prime?"
Optimus blushed a fine shade of red as he gulped uneasily at Megatron's question.
"Let me say that she is...tied up at the moment."
Hospital
The creaking of a bed echoed throughout the semi-empty room. Atticus was sleeping peacefully but it was the bed that Prime was once in that held the creaking.
If one looked, they would see Elita restrained to the bed via straps around her wrists (You know, the kind that some hospitals use to prevent a suicidal person from killing themselves) and had a strip of medical tape over her mouth making her screams muffled.
Her face was contorted into a glare as she thought of the one who did this.
JADEN! When I get free from this, I'll make sure you never leave this hospital bed again! Elita thought in anger.
GXGXGXGXGXGXGXGXGXGXGXGXGXGX
Lake Shore
Megatron looked at his twin and sighed.
"You know what? Forget it. I've got a feeling that I'll find out soon enough." Megatron said interrupting Optimus's thoughts.
"Anyways...I know Doctor Crowler can win this. I should know because I dueled him! And let me tell you...he can throw down!" Optimus shouted
Crowler got up, though he was in a bit of pain, and smiled.
"Prime is right! I can duel, I can throw down and I can most certainly get my game on!" Crowler shouted before he realized what he said.
"I think I need to wash my mouth out."
"It's not that bad, Teach...although your life points are another story." Prime muttered.
"That's true...Crowler will have to make quite a comeback for this to work." Bastion said.
"It's my draw!" Crowler said as his disk spat out a card.
The good doc looked at the card before he slammed it onto one of his MZs.
"I summon Ancient Gear golem in attack mode!"
The large mechanical beast roared as it appeared on the field. Megatron smirked as the monster came up.
"Smart move playing that Castle..." Megatron said.
"What?" Chazz asked.
"Of course...Crowler played that castle not only to boost his monster's attack power...but to use it to summon his Gear Golem. Ingenious." Optimus said with a smile.
"Now! Ancient Gear Golem! Attack that Vampire Bat with Mechanized Melee!"
The metal menace launched its fist at the monster and smashed through it causing a lot of Damage to Camula who screamed in agony.
Camula: 1000/Crowler: 1700
"Did you forget? I can negate the destruction of my Bat by sending another to the graveyard." Camula said as she slotted the final copy of the Bat.
"Alright! Crowler's going to win this!" Syrus said.
"Not with that Infernalvania in play." Megatron stated.
"Easily Remedied." Crowler said as he slid a card into his spell/trap zone. "Witness the wrath of Heavy Storm!"
A hurricane like wind blew through the area making everyone gasp in shock as the castle and Camula's only facedown were turned to rubble and blown away.
Crowler smirked before he noticed that Camula was...laughing?
"So predictable...you must be a bore for your students." Camula said.
"Uh-oh..." Megatron muttered.
"What?" Everyone asked confused.
"Crowler destroyed Zombie Bed...a trap whose effect only activates IF it's destroyed!" Megatron explained.
"What?" Everyone shouted.
"I summon Zombie Werewolf in attack mode! And due to bat still in play, it gains two hundred attack points!"
Werewolf-ATK/1400
"Next I play Book of Moon! I can now resurrect my Vampire Lord! Of course, I can't gain a life without taking one in return, so I will remove your Beast from play so you can't use it again. But now I remove my Lord from play to summon...Vampire Genesis!"
(Vampire Genesis-LV/8, Attribute/Dark, ATK/3000+200=3200, DEF/2100, Type/Zombie/Effect. This card cannot be Normal Summoned or Set. This card cannot be Special Summoned except by removing 1 "Vampire Lord" on your side of the field from play. Discard 1 Zombie-Type monster from your hand to the Graveyard to select and Special Summon 1 Zombie-Type monster from your Graveyard with a Level less than the discarded Zombie-Type monster. You can only use this effect once per turn.)
A large multi-winged vampire arose on the field next to the Vampire Werewolf and bat. Chazz groaned as he watched the three monsters.
"It's like she knows every move of Crowler's before he even makes it!" Chazz said.
"Of course...it's easy when there are a hundred bats spying on you." Megatron said as the bat that rested on his arm flew off and landed on Camula's shoulder.
Crowler looked at the three monsters before he sighed and turned to the others.
"My students, remember this...at times I am hard on you all, but only because I believe in you all." Crowler said with tears appearing in his eyes.
"Crowler?" Chazz asked.
"Even if I fall, at least you will be there...to rise! And Megatron?" Crowler asked looking at the gang leader.
"Yeah?" Megatron asked.
"Sorry that I couldn't step up to face the threat."
"Don't talk like that doctor!" Bastion said.
"Save your breath...he's done for." Megatron said as the duel came to its close.
"Genesis! Attack his golem!" Camula cried.
The large vampire became a mist and enshrouded the golem before it blew up. Crowler groaned as he stepped back.
Camula: 1000/Crowler: 1500
"Is that all?" Crowler goaded.
"No, it is not! Werewolf go! Midnight pounce!"
The werewolf howled as it charged forward and slashed its claws into the man. Crowler cried out as his life meter fell further.
Camula: 1000/Crowler: 100
"And now...for the final blow. Vampire bat! Attack the good professor directly!" Camula cried to her large pet.
The bat roared before being joined by a hundreds of its brothers and attacked Crowler directly. Their tiny teeth ripped into the good doctor's flesh which caused him to scream in agony as he fell to the ground as his life meter dropped to zero.
"I win. His key is mine." Camula said.
Megatron scowled and he made a fist; despite Crowler being a pain, he reminded Megatron of...no...He mustn't remember THAT memory.
Camula walked toward the fallen doc and picked up the key that had fallen from Crowler's neck. She looked at it as it vanished in a blue light.
She chuckled before she looked at the group.
"And now, children...I take my second prize." The Vampiress said as she held up a doll.
Dark energy flowed around the doll and around Crowler's prone form. Pretty soon, the doll had taken a likeness to Crowler.
"She's taken Crowler's soul and put it into that doll!" Syrus shouted.
"Doll's are so pretty...but this one...this is horrid! It's nothing but trash!" Camula snarled as she threw the doll onto the ground.
Optimus's eyes flash red and he snarled in rage.
"That's it!" Prime said as he tried to stand only to be stopped by two people. "Zane...Megatron...don't try and stop me!"
"Prime...you're in no condition to fight and you won't be after Elita gets to you." Megatron said coldly.
"Children...I bid you farewell." Camula said as the fog on the lake parted to reveal a dark, gloomy castle.
"We'll find you!" Bastion roared.
"And duel!" Chazz finished making Camula laugh.
"Children...that is precisely what I'm hoping for." Camula said before becoming a whirlwind and retreating to the castle laughing darkly.
*Chazz slips on stage and makes a loud crash.*
Crew:" SHHHHHH!"
Chazz (in a hushed tone): "Sorry! Alright you scrubs! Please read and review and give your condolences to YF. He'll need them. Chazz out."
