"Thank you for giving us this opportunity, Mr. Pegasus, Mr. Kaiba."
"The pleasure is all mine, Sheppard. Kaiba Corp. and Industrial Illusions have been conspiring together to bring forth the next generation of dueling. Synchro monsters are just about ready to release. Here you go." Pegasus handed three cards to Sheppard.
"Huh? These are..."
"Based off of Jaden's deck, yes. We thought it would be appropriate to thank him for all that he's done like this. Oh, and take these too." Kaiba handed him three more cards.
"And what kind are these...?"
"These are a work in progress: prototype Xyz monsters. These are darker versions of Jaden's monsters."
"Very well. I'll present them to him tomorrow." Haou smirked, watching nearby.
'You won't get that chance.' After Kaiba and Pegasus left, Haou walked into the room.
"You shouldn't be up at this hour, Ja-who are you?!"
"I ask the questions here. I want those Xyz cards. Would you like to do this the easy or the hard way?"
"The hard way. You'll never get these cards!"
"I was hoping you'd say that." Sheppard was thrown into the wall and smashed into the glass window.
"I'll take these." He took the three cards.

"Jaden Yuki, please report to Chancellor Sheppard's office." Jaden heard over the PA system. He walked to the Chancellor's office.
"Chancellor, you wanted to see...me...what happened?" Jaden asked, noticing the repaired window, and Sheppard's cast on his arm.
"I had an...unexpected visitor last night."
"What did he want with you?"
"He took three rare, one of a kind cards that are only prototypes."
"What kind?"
"There were two cards that were Xyz, and one rank-up spell card."
"I have no idea what that means."
"Well, I'm sure you'll find out the next time he duels. Here. These three are for you." Sheppard handed two synchros and a tuner to him.
"What kind are these? The border is white."
"These are the next kind of monster. They're called synchros. In order to summon one, you have to tune a tuner and non-tuner monster. Look. There's one tuner there in your hand." Jaden looked.
Level 7 (Tuner)
Elemental Hero Shining Nova
Atk: 2500 Def: 2100
This monster can negate and destroy any effect that targets this card. When this card is normal summoned, you can select 1 level 4 Elemental Hero from your hand, deck, or graveyard and special summon it.
"Interesting. Thanks for this. Huh? Wait a second! Look at this one!"
Level 12 (Synchro)
Infinity Dragon
Elemental Hero Infinity + Winged Dragon of Ra
Atk: Infinity Def: Infinity
When this card is synchro summoned, you win the duel.
"Isn't this a little overpowered?"
"Well, it takes a lot to summon it successfully, so I guess that's the drawback. Here, Pegasus left this for you."
"The Winged Dragon of Ra?" Jaden asked as he took the card.
"Yes, the same copy you stopped once before. He's entrusting this card with you. You can keep it."
"Wow. I won't let him down. Thanks." Jaden walked back to class, and took a seat again. Crowler continued talking, but Jaden didn't listen, as usual. He studied his new Ra card, curious about the ancient Egyptian text written on it.
'Can you read this?' he asked Yubel.
'Yeah. I'll translate it for you.'
"Jaden? Jaden!" Crowler shouted.
"Hm?"
"Don't 'Hm' me! Remember that you have a duel in 10 minutes. You should go and prepare. We'll be there shortly to watch.
"Oh." He got up and left. Alexis noticed he was carrying a card, but couldn't tell which one it was.

"Ladies and Gentlemen! Welcome to today's spectacular duel! Let's give a big hand to our participants! From Obelisk Blue, it's Sean! And also from Obelisk Blue, it's the legendary Jaden Yuki!"
"Let's have a good duel, Jaden!"
"Yeah."
DUEL!
Jaden: 4000
Sean: 4000
"I'll start! I draw! I set one monster on the field. Now I activate the spell card Burden of the Mighty! Now your monsters lose 100 attack times their level. I place two cards face down and end my turn. Your move, Jaden!"
"Alright. I draw! I summon Elemental Hero Sparkman (1600/1400) in attack mode! Now I activate the spell card Fake Hero! This let's me summon an Elemental Hero for the duration of the turn. It can't attack, and returns to my hand at the end of the turn. I summon Elemental Hero Ice Edge (800/900)! Now I activate Mystical Space Typhoon! I can destroy one spell or trap on the field, and I choose Burden of the Mighty!" The card was destroyed."Now I activate Polymerization, fusing together Sparkman and Ice Edge! Fusion Summon! Come forth, Elemental Hero Absolute Zero (2500/2000)! Battle time! Absolute Zero, attack that face down monster!"
"The monster you just attacked is my Old Vindictive Magician! When he's flipped face up, he destroys one of your monsters! There goes Absolute Zero!"
"Perhaps, but he won't leave without saying goodbye! When Absolute Zero leaves the field, all monsters you control are destroyed! I end my turn."
"Perfect. I draw! I activate my trap, Call of the Haunted! This allows me to bring my Old Vindictive Magician (450/600) back to the field! Now I activate my spell, Card of Sanctity! We both draw until we're holding six cards (anime effect is better than TCG effect)! I summon Mirage Dragon (1600/600) to the field in attack mode! Now I activate the spell Double Summon! As the name suggests, I can summon twice this turn. I now sacrifice my two monsters to summon this: my Dark Magician (2500/2100)!"
"How did you get that card? It's supposed to belong to Yugi."
"It's not that hard to come across, believe me. With a card as legendary as this, endless copies are made to sell to public duelists. I now activate Polymerization, fusing Dark Magician with Buster Blader! Fusion Summon! Arise, Dark Paladin (2900/2400)! This card gains 500 attack for each dragon-type in each of our graveyards!" Atk: 3400. "Battle: Dark Paladin, attack him directly! Dark Slasher!"
"Gwahhh!"
Sean: 4000
Jaden: 600
"I end my turn."
"Jaden's in trouble..." Alexis murmured up in the stands.
"Don't worry, Lex, he'll pull through." said Syrus, who was standing next to her.
"My...turn...Draw!" Jaden's eyes widened, realizing what he just drew. He quickly scanned his hand, and smiled. Jaden Hand: 7 "I activate Polymerization, fusing Bubbleman with Bladedge. Fusion Summon! Come forth, Elemental Hero Gaia (2200/2600)! Gala's effect activates. When he's fusion summoned successfully, he halves the attack of one of your monsters, and adds that amount to his own attack. Dark Paladin Attack: 1700. Gaia Attack: 3900. "I activate O-Oversoul! I can summon one normal elemental hero from my graveyard now. I choose Sparkman! Now I activate Monster Reborn! I bring back Bladedge(2600/1800). Now, it's time."
"Time for what?"
"Your loss. I sacrifice Elemental Hero Gaia, Elemental Hero Bladedge, and Elemental Hero Sparkman to summon the god of the sun."
"What?!"
"Almighty Protector of the Sun and Sky,
I beg of thee, please heed my cry.
Transform thyself from orb of light,
And bring me victory in this fight.
I beseech thee, grace our humble game,
But first I shall... Call out thy name!
Winged Dragon of Ra!"
"What?! Impossible!" shouted Alexis. Sheppard overheard her and walked towards them.
"Not really. Pegasus entrusted that card to him."
"Wh-where did you get that?!"
"That's none of your business. Ra's attack and defense is equal to the sum of the three monsters used to sacrifice it. Atk: 8100 Def: 5800. "Alright. Winged Dragon of Ra, direct attack!"
"T-Trap activate! Dimensional Prison! The attacking monster is removed from play!"
"Traps, Spells, and Monster Effects don't work on Ra."
"What?!"
"Finish this."
"GYAHHHH!
Jaden: 600
Sean: 0
Jaden Wins.
End.
