Author's Note: I'd like to thank my one guest reviewer who suggested I do a card for this story called Shield of the Supreme King, a companion card to the Sword of the Supreme King that Jaden used last time. It may not make it into this story, but I'm sure it might make it into any future GX story I might do. We'll just how to see how this story goes.

Chapter 8: The Sign of Zott

Jaden sat at the dinning room table trying not to fall asleep in his breakfast. He had not been able to get any sleep until a little after 3:00 AM. His lack of sleep wasn't due to concern about the possible return of the Light of Destruction or the problems he was having with Alexis. Those were factors, yes. But there was another reason why Jaden had not gotten much sleep the night before. Or rather two reasons.

One of those reasons was Atticus, who was cheerfully whistling as he walked in and sat at the table. "Morning Jaden. Beautiful day, isn't it?"

Jaden responded by giving Atticus a death glare. "You do remember that my room is right around the corner from Reggie's, right?"

"Oh…" Atticus responded as a cocky grin came to his face. "Sorry 'bout that Jaden. I guess Mac and I got a little carried away last night."

"That man has no shame." Yubel remarked as she appeared behind Jaden's chair.

At that point, Reggie entered the room humming a happy little tune of some kind. She had on an oversized white shirt that Jaden assumed belonged to Atticus.

"Good morning." Reggie told Atticus before kissing him on the cheek.

"Morning, babe." Atticus responded.

"Hi there." Jaden interrupted, getting the couple's attention.

"Oh! You're Rhodie's friend Jaden, right?" Reggie recalled. "It's nice too meet you."

"Actually, we've already met." Jaden pointed out. "But it's nice to see that you're doing okay, Reggie."

"Oh please. Call me Mac." Reggie replied. "Anyway, I guess I have you to thank for freeing me for whatever was controlling me before."

"Yeah… no problem." Jaden responded, once again trying not to doze off.

"Is Jaden okay?" Reggie quietly asked Atticus. "He seems a little bit cranky."

"Oh, I'm afraid we ended up keeping him up for most of the night." Atticus explained. "Guess these walls aren't exactly soundproof."

Reggie chuckled a bit. "Oh dear. Sorry about that Jaden. Rhodie and I couldn't really control ourselves last night."

"She's just as shameless as he is." Yubel remarked.

"Guess that means they're a good match." Jaden mumbled in response.

"You say something Jaden?" Atticus asked.

"Huh? Uh no, never mind." Jaden answered.

Atticus brushed it off and whispered something in Reggie's ear. Reggie responded by quietly giggling.

Finding that he was nauseated by the display, Jaden rose from his chair. "I'm going out for a walk."

"Are you going to finish breakfast first?" Atticus asked.

"Nah, I'm good." Jaden answered as he walked out of the room.

It was a little before noon as Sheila headed for the cafeteria to eat lunch. Not that she really had anyone to eat with though. Sophie was one of the few people that Sheila really knew at the academy. And with her gone, Sheila felt a little bit isolated. While Sheila had no trouble making new friends, it sort of seemed to her like quite a few of the students treated her like an outsider for some reason. Besides Sophie and Mick, Sheila didn't really have any friends at the academy.

"Excuse me. Sheila Tate?" A voice spoke from behind, causing Sheila to turn around. "Might I have a word with you?"

Standing behind Sheila was a female academy student who looked to be about seventeen. She had long silky black hair that ended half way down her back, skin like porcelain, and stunning violet eyes. Sheila recognized the young woman right away and was stunned that she was even talking to her.

"You're… Tabitha Greene." Sheila identified. "You're like one of the top students currently at this school. I've watched almost every single duel you've been in."

"Well, I see you're a fan." Tabitha observed. "I've had my eye on you for awhile too, Sheila."

"You have?" a surprised Sheila asked.

"Oh yes. In fact I've been looking for someone like you for a long time now." Tabitha revealed. "I've come to make you an offer, Sheila. Recently I've started a little club for the top lady duelists at this school. And I think you would be a perfect fit for it."

"Me?" Sheila responded, becoming even more surprised. "You seriously want me to join this club of yours?"

"Of course." Tabitha confirmed. "So what do you say, Sheila? Are you interested?"

"You bet!" Sheila enthusiastically agreed. "Wow! Tabitha Greene is asking me to join her secret club!"

"There is a small initiation ritual you'll have to go through. But I'm sure it's nothing you can't handle." Tabitha informed her. "Come to the abandoned dorm tonight at midnight. We'll be waiting for you."

"I'll be there." Sheila agreed.

Tabitha gave Sheila a wink before walking off. Sheila continued on her way to the cafeteria with a slight spring in her step. She was thrilled that one of the most popular students at the academy had asked her to join the special club that she had started. It seemed to Sheila that she was finally starting to be accepted by her fellow students.

Jaden rested under the shade of a tree on the academy grounds trying to catch up on his sleep. As he finally began to doze off, Jaden could hear footsteps coming in his direction. But he brushed it off as just some academy student or teacher that was passing by and kept his eyes shut.

"Well this is something I haven't seen in a long time." A very familiar voice spoke. Jaden opened his eyes to see Alexis standing over him.

"Uh, Lex!" a startled Jaden exclaimed as he quickly sat up. "What, um… what 're you doing here?"

"Actually I was looking for you." Alexis revealed. "Mind if I join you?"

"No, of course not." Jaden replied, his face turning a bit red.

Alexis sat down under the tree right next to Jaden. Jaden's heart began to beat a little faster when Alexis' hand brushed against his.

"You look pretty tired." Alexis observed. "Everything okay?"

"Oh, yeah. I just didn't get very much sleep last night." Jaden explained.

"How come?" Alexis asked.

"Ask your brother and Reggie." Jaden answered.

Alexis shuddered a bit at what Jaden had implied. "You know, I think I'd rather not."

"…So why were you looking for me?" Jaden asked after a brief pause.

"Well, for one thing I wanted to apologize for what happened a few days ago when we talked." Alexis explained. "I'm sorry I got mad at you, and for not keeping in touch. This job I've had here has kept me really busy."

"I'm sorry for not keeping in touch with you either." Jaden told her. "I mean I thought about trying to get a hold of you more than once, but I never got around to it."

"I'm sure you've been a little busy yourself out on the road." Alexis pointed out. "Let's just forget about it, okay?"

"Yeah… okay." Jaden replied. "So Lex… when you said before when you and I had grown apart, what did you mean?"

"Well…" Alexis somewhat hesitantly began.

"Hey Jaden!" a familiar voice interrupted. Jaden and Alexis looked to see Sheila running towards them. "I've been looking everywhere for you. I got something I want to tell you about."

"Oh… hi Sheila." Jaden greeted.

Sheila soon noticed that Alexis was also present. "Oh… crud. Is this a bad time?"

"It's fine." Alexis assured her as she suddenly got to her feet. "I should probably be going now anyway. We'll talk more later, okay Jaden?"

"Yeah… okay." Jaden agreed. With that, Alexis walked off across the grounds.

"Oh boy. I really interrupted something big, didn't I?" Sheila realized. "My mom's told me more than once that I have the worst sense of timing."

"Don't worry about it." Jaden told her. "So what's this thing you wanted to tell me about?"

"Well I just wanted to tell you that I was invited to join this little club here at this academy." Sheila explained. "It's run by one of the top students. Her name's Tabitha Greene."

"What kind of club is it?" Jaden asked.

"Actually, I don't really know." Sheila admitted. "Heck, I don't even know what the name of it is. But who cares? The point is that Tabitha Greene asked me to join it!"

"You must be a big fan of this Tabitha." Jaden observed.

"Actually to tell you the truth, she's kind of been my idol ever since I started coming here." Sheila admitted. "She's just one of the best duelists there is. She's even better than Mick was. And she's always so cool and confident. I wish I was half the person she was."

"If she's that good a duelist, maybe I should try taking her on." Jaden decided. "So do you even know where and when this club of Tabitha's is meeting?"

"Well… I don't know if I'll be kicked out for telling you this, but the next meeting is going to be tonight at midnight at the abandoned dorm here." Sheila revealed.

"An abandoned dorm?" Jaden repeated.

"Yeah. The way I heard it, the place was closed down because of some building code violation." Sheila explained. "Or because someone died there, I don't remember. But either way, I'm going. Anyway, I just wanted to tell somebody about this. Since Sophie, well… vanished, I haven't really had anyone else to talk to."

"Well, it does sound like exciting news." Jaden agreed. "Have fun tonight, and be careful."

"I will. Later!" Sheila replied before running off.

"Didn't that seem a little suspicious to you?" Yubel asked as she appeared. "I think it's a pretty safe bet that Mick, Trent, and Reggie weren't the only ones brainwashed by whatever we're up against. How do we know this girl Tabitha isn't like them?"

"You might be onto something." Jaden agreed as he finally got to his feet. "You think this Tabitha is going to try and turn Sheila into a Sacrifice Maiden card?"

"I wouldn't be surprised." Yubel answered.

"Then maybe we should go back to the guesthouse and tell Atticus and Reggie about this." Jaden decided. "If there really is something going on with this club, then might need their help."

"Let's just hope we don't walk in on those two doing it on the couch or something." Yubel remarked as they headed off.

It was a few minutes before midnight as Sheila walked off across the grounds. Practically the entire academy had gone dark. All she had to guide her was the light of the moon and the stars above. Very soon in the distance she saw the old two-story building that was the old abandoned dorm that had closed down in the earliest days of Duel Academy America. There were many theories among the students as to why the dorm had closed down.

One of the most common stories was that the place had been shut down due to a simple building code violation that made the place unsafe. Though there were more unsavory tales that said that the reason was because a student had once died there. Some said that it was an accident, while others said that it was murder. But nobody could say for sure, as it was all just rumor. Then there were some of the more mundane explanations for the dorm's closing, such as the building having a funny smell that nobody could find a way to get rid of.

Whatever the true cause of the dorm's closing, the old building had been the source of rumor and legend to the students at Duel Academy America for years. And now it seemed that the place had become the headquarters of the mysterious club that Tabitha had started. As Sheila got closer to the old dorm, she could see dim lights shining through the windows. Somewhat nervously, Sheila knocked on the door. Moments later it opened, and standing in the doorway was Tabitha wearing a low-cut black dress with a very short skirt.

"There you are, Sheila." Tabitha greeted. "We've been waiting for you."

"I'm not too late, am I?" Sheila asked.

"Not at all." Tabitha replied. "Please come in."

Tabitha stepped aside to allow Sheila to enter. As soon as she stepped inside the old abandoned building, Sheila saw that the main room had lit candles all around, explaining the dim light she saw from the windows. Sheila also noticed some other female academy students inside. Many of them were wearing some kind of black hooded robes. Shelia glanced to one corner of the room and saw two girls sitting on an old red couch sharing an open-mouthed kiss. Looking towards another corner of the room, Sheila saw another pair of girls. One had the other pinned against the wall as she sucked on her neck.

"Uh, what kind of club did you say this was?" Sheila asked as her face turned a bit red.

"We're known as the Divine Order of Zott." Tabitha explained. "And truth be told, I'm not the one who started this little club."

Sheila felt that the name Zott sounded familiar to her, but for some reason she couldn't quite place it. There was some kind of aroma hanging in the air that was making it a little hard to think. It was almost like the smell of the ocean mixed with flowers.

"Do you smell something?" Sheila asked Tabitha.

"What you're smelling is the candles we have lit throughout the building." Tabitha explained. "The scent helps to put people at ease and relieve stress. It's also a very potent aphrodisiac."

"Did… did you just say…?" Sheila attempted to ask.

"You seem tense." Tabitha observed before Sheila could finish. "Are you nervous about joining our order?"

"Well… maybe a little." Sheila admitted.

"Come. There's something I want to show you." Tabitha informed her.

Tabitha gently took Sheila by the hand and led her up the stairs. At the top, they stopped before the open door of one of the abandoned rooms. What Sheila saw inside the room made her jaw drop. On top of what was a very sturdy wooden table were two young women who were completely nude. One of them had short blonde hair tied with pigtails, while the other had long light-green hair tied in a ponytail. Their legs were wrapped around one another and they bucked their hips bucked against each other.

More candles lined the walls of the abandoned room, and sitting on their knees on the floor were four more young women wearing the same black hooded robes that Sheila had seen before. They all seemed to be chanting in some kind of strange language. Sheila found that she couldn't look away from the sight of the two moaning girls on the table. The bouncing of their breasts as they moved against one another seemed to mesmerize her. Both Sheila and Tabitha stood in the doorway and watched for some time until the two girls on the table finally climaxed and collapsed from exhaustion. With the little show over, Tabitha quietly shut the door.

"Wow… that was… pretty hot." Sheila admitted.

Tabitha smiled and began to rub her fingers through Sheila's red hair from behind. "You have such pretty hair Sheila. It's one of the reasons why I've had my eye on you."

"Oh… well thanks." Sheila replied.

Suddenly Tabitha's hands reached from under Sheila's arms and cupped her breasts. "And such a well-developed bust for a girl your age."

"Well, what can I say? Good genes I guess." Sheila replied with a nervous laugh. "People say I get my looks from my mom. Except for my eyes. Those I got from my dad."

Tabitha turned Sheila around and looked at her with a predatory smile. "And what beautiful eyes they are."

Sheila suddenly found herself getting lost in Tabitha's stunning violet eyes. Suddenly Tabitha captured Sheila's lips and gently inserted her tongue, causing the redheaded to moan. The feeling of Tabitha's tongue inside her mouth felt simply amazing. After a few moments they broke for air and Sheila was left reeling from the kiss.

"Did you like that?" Tabitha asked.

"Uh-huh." Sheila answered.

"If you want, we can continue this down in the basement." Tabitha offered. "Would you like that?"

"Yes." Sheila agreed.

"Good." Tabitha replied before snapping her fingers. Four more girls in black robes arrived at the top of the stairs. "Take her down to the basement and prepare her. I'll be down shortly."

Sheila willingly let the other four girls guide her down the stairs. As they walked, Sheila was trying to process what was happening, but was finding it very difficult. One thing Sheila knew was that she was very turned on by what was happening. She had always been a bit curious about the kinds of activities the young ladies in the abandoned dorm were engaging in. There were a few girls that Sheila found attractive, with Tabitha being near the top of the list. But she had never had the nerve to take things as far as they had already progressed. Though it was obvious that Tabitha was not nearly that shy.

Within moments, Sheila's four escorts had taken her to a large chamber beneath the building. In the center of the room was some kind of metal slab on a vertical incline. It looked like some kind of medieval torture rack. On the far wall was some kind of large altar with lit candles on top. Drawn on the wall above the altar in what looked like chalk was some kind of strange almost star-shaped symbol with a demonic eye in the center. Sheila felt that she had seen the symbol somewhere before, but she couldn't remember where.

The four hooded young women stopped Sheila before the metal slab in the center of the room and began taking off her uniform. Deciding to go with the flow largely in part due to her extremely relaxed state, Sheila willingly let the four disrobe her completely. Once they had gotten her completely naked, the four gently pushed Sheila up against the metal slab and raised her arms above her head. They then secured her wrists into metal shackles near the top of the slab. Sheila could feel the cold metal pressing against her wrists.

As soon as Sheila had been secured in place, Tabitha entered the room wearing a long red robe that trailed behind her. Tabitha gave Sheila's four escorts a nod, and the four of them walked out of Sheila's field of vision. Sheila wasn't sure if the four had actually left the room, but for some reason she found she didn't care.

Tabitha stood before the restrained redhead and smiled. "My, you truly are ravishing. I'm really going to enjoy making you mine."

With that, Tabitha opened her robe and let it drop to the ground, revealing that she was wearing absolutely nothing underneath. Sheila's eyes widened at the sight of the dark-haired girl before her. Tabitha was simply breathtaking. With a predatory smile, Tabitha walked over and took Sheila's chin. They soon became locked in a deep open-mouthed kiss that caused Sheila to moan. Eventually they broke for air and Tabitha began to suck on Sheila's neck.

Before long, Tabitha moved down to kiss Sheila's collarbone, lingering there before moving down to kiss and suck on the redhead's right breast. At the same time, her hand moved to massage Sheila's left breast, gently squeezing it and sending the redhead to new heights of pleasure.

"Oh god! Just do it to me already!" Sheila begged.

Tabitha stopped sucking on Sheila's breast and chuckled. "My, aren't we eager."

Tabitha got down on her knees and pushed a very pliant Sheila's legs open. She leaned in and began to probe Sheila's already moist womanhood with her tongue. Sheila arched her back and moaned as Tabitha's tongue began to explore her. She attempted to move her arms down to hold the dark-haired girl's head in place, but the metal restraints made it impossible. She was completely at Tabitha's mercy.

Eventually Sheila felt herself on the verge of climax, but suddenly she felt Tabitha remove her tongue and pull away. The redhead looked at Tabitha with an almost hurt expression as Tabitha got to her feet.

"Oh don't worry, my precious. We're not stopping there." Tabitha assured her as she cupped Sheila's chin. "I just want to drag this out a little bit longer."

Tabitha recaptured Sheila's mouth and inserted her tongue. As they kissed, Tabitha reached down and inserted two of her fingers into the still very moist redhead. Sheila felt a painful sensation as the fingers tore into her, but seemed so faint compared to the incredible feeling of Tabitha's tongue inside her mouth. After a few moments, the pain stopped and the two girls broke for air. Tabitha began to push her fingers in and out of Sheila's opening, much to the redhead's delight.

"Please… harder!" Sheila begged.

Tabitha grinned an inserted a third finger into Sheila and probed deeper. Sheila moaned louder and continued to pull against her restraints. Before long her inner walls tightened around Tabitha's fingers. Then at last Sheila climaxed, her body shuddering with her long-awaited release. Exhausted by the pleasurable ordeal, Sheila was left in a daze.

Tabitha held out her left hand, and in moments one of the hooded girls from before came before her carrying a red satin pillow with a ceremonial dagger on it. Tabitha took the dagger and used it to make a small cut on Sheila's left thigh, gathering blood on the blade. Afterwards she walked over the altar against the far wall and held the blade over the large candle in the center.

"O Zott, ruler on the divine light." Tabitha spoke as drops of Sheila's blood hit the flame. "I call upon thy power to prepare this willing offering!"

As soon as the last drop of blood went into the flame, the flame turned white and expanded into a fireball. Tabitha moved to the side and a stream of white flames stuck Sheila on the metal slab, completely consuming her body. The flame quickly subsided, and hovering in place of where Sheila was a Sacrifice Maiden card with Sheila's picture on it. Tabitha raised her right arm towards the card and it flew to her hand.

With the new card in hand, Tabitha raised it to her mouth and kissed the front. "My precious Sheila. Now you truly are mine."

"So you finally created an offering. Nicely done." A voice suddenly spoke. Tabitha looked and saw Electra walk into the chamber.

"Leave us." Tabitha ordered her four hooded attendants.

As soon as one of the hooded girls handed Tabitha her red robe, all four of them silently left the chamber. Tabitha put on her robe back on as Electra walked up to her.

"You certainly took your time picking a girl to use as an offering." Electra remarked.

"I'm sorry if I've displeased you, mistress." Tabitha responded. "I wanted to find the perfect offering to use for myself."

"You don't need to apologize to me, my darling Tabitha." Electra assured her as she took the dark-haired girl's chin. "You've been doing a fine job for our order. The sexual energy created by all these servant girls you initiated has more than prepared us for Lord Zott's revival."

"And when will our master's revival happen, my mistress?" Tabitha asked.

"It won't be long now." Electra answered. "Tomorrow the stars will be right for his return. Very soon our master shall return and spread his light across the globe, beginning a glorious new age."

"I eagerly await that time." Tabitha responded.

"There is one problem though." Electra informed her. "Our enemy, the Supreme King has begun to make trouble for us. That is why I have come to you tonight. I want you to eliminate him for us."

"I will not let you down, my mistress." Tabitha replied.

"I know you won't." Electra told her before kissing her on the forehead. "The Supreme King is on his way here now. It's the perfect time for you to destroy him."

"Then I will meet him half way." Tabitha decided. "This will be the night that the Supreme King dies."

Jaden walked across the darkened academy ground with Reggie and Atticus following close behind. In the distance they could see the abandoned dorm that Sheila had told Jaden about earlier.

"Thanks for coming with, guys." Jaden told his two companions.

"No problem." Atticus replied. "I want to help take down whatever it is that twisted Mac's mind for so long. Besides, nothing good can come from students hanging out in an abandoned dorm in the middle of the night. I learned that the hard way."

"There's a whole bunch of old stories about that dorm." Reggie spoke as they walked. "Of course a lot of them are pretty much just rumors that have been blown out of proportion."

"You sure you're okay to do this, Mac?" Atticus asked.

"It's the least I can do to pay Jaden back for helping me." Reggie replied. "Besides, I want to take down this thing too."

"I just hope we're in time to save Sheila if she's in trouble." Jaden responded.

"You're right on time all right, Supreme King." A voice suddenly spoke. "On time for your demise that is."

Jaden and the others looked and saw Tabitha standing before them wearing her black dress. A silver duel disk with gold trim was on her left arm. Tabitha had not come alone though. At least twenty of her hooded servant girls had come with and quickly circled around Jaden and the others.

"Are you Tabitha Greene?" Jaden asked as he narrowed his eyes at the dark-haired girl.

"The very same." Tabitha confirmed. "And I have come to deliver your destruction in the name of our master."

"Who's this master of yours?" Jaden demanded to know. "And where's Sheila?"

"She's safe enough." Tabitha replied. "As for our master, we serve the divine being known to this world as Zott."

"Hail Zott, ruler of light, bringer of pleasure and chaos." The hooded girls around Jaden and the others began to chant.

"This is getting really creepy." Atticus remarked.

"Ruler of light? Bringer of chaos?" Yubel spoke as she appeared by Jaden. "From what these girls describe, this Zott sounds like the Light of Destruction."

Suddenly Jaden noticed the gold necklace that was around Tabitha's neck. Hanging from it was a small pendant shaped like a familiar almost star-shaped symbol with an odd demonic eye in the center.

"Hey! That necklace you have on has the same symbol I've seen on the building in the Domain of Rituals." Jaden recalled.

"Yes. This is the symbol of our order." Tabitha explained as she touched her pendant. "And it will also be the symbol of your destruction."

"We'll see about that!" Jaden told her.

"Indeed we will." Tabitha agreed as she activated her duel disk. "I challenge you to a duel here and now, Supreme King. And with this duel, I shall bring your death!"

Jaden activated his own duel disk in response. "Game on!"

Author's Note: The star-like symbol of Zott mentioned in this chapter and a few times before in this story is also the symbol depicted on the cover art for this story. It's just something I doodled in my little book of ideas while reinventing the concept for this story. I decided that I would make that symbol the crest of Zott.

Please review and let me know what you think.
