Author's Note: The Ritual Monster that appears in the following duel, or rather its Ritual Spell, served as one of the major inspirations for this story. It's actually become one of my favorite Ritual Monsters.

Chapter 9: The Resurrection of Chakra
"I'll start things off." Tabitha announced as she drew her first card. "To begin I play a Field Spell, Domain of Rituals!"
In an instant the surrounding area transformed into the grey wasteland that Jaden had become all too familiar with. Stormy dark-blue clouds once again covered the sky. In the distance Jaden and the others could see the ominous dark structure that bore the emblem of Zott.
"I set one card on the field." Tabitha announced. "Then I summon Sangan in Defense Mode!"
Appearing on Tabitha's side of the battlefield was a relatively small ball of fur that was light brown on the front and black on the back. It had two skinny green arms with clawed hands. Its face consisted of three large yellow cat-like eyes and a large fanged mouth.
"That ends my turn." Tabitha announced.
Jaden drew his first card. "I activate Polymerization and fuse Elemental Hero Burstinatrix with Elemental Hero Bubbleman in my hand to summon Elemental Hero Steam Healer!"
Burstinatrix appeared on the field along with a male warrior clad in blue armor. He had on a white cape and a pair of large grey water tanks on his back. The pair of heroes jumped into the small vortex that had appeared in the air above the battlefield. Moments later a new warrior jumped down onto the field. He had on bulky purple and red mechanical armor with a helmet that had a red visor over his eyes. Long grey pipes projected out from the armored hero's back.
"I activate my Trap, War Ritual Preparation!" Tabitha announced. "Since you just special summoned a monster to the field, I can add a Ritual Monster and Spell card to my hand!"
"Yeah? Well next I summon Elemental Hero Wildheart!" Jaden announced. His jungle-themed hero appeared on the field. "Steam Healer, attack Sangan! Vapor Shot!"
Steam Healer fired intense blasts of super hot steam from the mechanical hands of his armor. The small three-eyed demon shattered into bits of light upon being hit.
"Whenever Steam Healer destroys a monster in battle, I gain life points equal to that monster's ATK!" Jaden announced.
Blasts of steam shot from the pipes on the armored hero's back and briefly shrouded Jaden in a gentle mist. His life points rose to 5000.
"Because Sangan was destroyed, I can add a monster with 1500 ATK or less to my hand." Tabitha calmly announced.
"I'm betting the card Tabitha just added to her hand is one of those Sacrifice Maiden cards." Atticus assumed as he and Reggie watched from the sidelines.
"She already has a Ritual Monster and Spell card in her hand thanks to that Trap of hers." Reggie pointed out. "I think it's pretty safe to say that she'll summon that monster on her next turn using that Sacrifice Maiden as a tribute."
"I just hope that Sacrifice Maiden isn't anyone we know." Atticus responded.
"Wildheart, attack Tabitha directly!" Jaden commanded back in the duel. "Wild Slash!"
Wildheart charged across the field with his sword raised and slashed Tabitha across the chest. Her life points dropped to 2500. Despite that, the dark-haired girl maintained her calm smile.
"I end my turn!" Jaden announced.
Tabitha drew her next card. "From my hand I activate Resurrection of Chakra! And as tribute for the Ritual I offer up… Sacrifice Maiden Sheila!"
To Jaden's horror, Sheila appeared on the battlefield wearing a Roman-style dress made of pink fabric. She looked as if she was in some kind of trance. Appearing beneath the redhead's feet was a strange mass of thin green tendrils. The tendrils quickly rose up and began to envelop Sheila's body. By the time they got up to her chest, the pink dress she had on shattered into bits of light. In moments the tendrils completely consumed Sheila and transformed into a strange fleshy mass the color of dried blood.
The mass of flesh soon rose into the air and began to change shape. The top half became a sort of torso with a single large purple eye on the top instead of a head. From the side of the torso grew four short stubby arms. The hind pair of arms had two large claws at the end, while the front pair had hands with three blue tentacle-like fingers. The lower half of the mass grew into a waist with a long blue spike projecting down from the bottom like the head of a spear. Growing down next to the spike on both sides were four bone-white blade-like spikes.
Growing out of the creature's midsection between two pairs of short white spikes was a human skull with thin strands of dark-red hair traveling up the thing's chest. To his horror, Jaden quickly realized that the skull belonged to Sheila. A pair of demonic eyes appeared in the sockets of the skull. Once the creature had fully formed, its body glowed briefly with a feint white aura and its three eyes flashed red.
"Beautiful!" Tabitha declared with a mad grin. "Behold, the magnificent Chakra! And thanks to the sacrifice of my beloved Sheila, my darling creature has gained incredible power!"
"Oh man… that's just sick!" a horrified Atticus declared.
"I've seen younger duelists use Chakra in battle before." An equally disgusted Reggie admitted. "Usually the skulls of whatever monsters are used to summon Chakra appear on its midsection. It never bothered me before, but… now that I've seen it happen with a human skull…"
"Sheila…" Jaden spoke as he clenched his right fist in rage. "How could you do that to her, Tabitha? She looked up to you and you use her for this! Why?"
"Because she was perfect." Tabitha responded with an insane look in her eye. "I've been searching for just the right offering to use for my darling Chakra, and dear Sheila was just the right one. Her looks were exactly right."
"Wait a minute…" Atticus spoke with a look of realization. "Now that I think about it, Sheila looks a lot like the girl shown on the illustration on the Resurrection of Chakra Spell card!"
"You picked Sheila just because she looked like the drawing on some card?" an outraged Jaden asked.
"Like I said, her looks were exactly right." Tabitha answered. "And thanks to dear Sheila's sacrifice, my darling Chakra now gains 1000 extra ATK for every card my opponent controls. And since you have two cards on the field, its ATK is now 4450."
"This is not good." Yubel observed as she appeared by Jaden. "Now that thing has the power as the Wicked Eraser did."
"Yeah. Only it's a little worse because Chakra had 2450 ATK to begin with." Jaden quietly responded.
"Attack, my darling Chakra!" Tabitha commanded. "Destroy Wildheart with Life Stealer Gaze!"
Chakra blasted Wildheart with an intense beam of red light fired from the large eye on the top of its body. Wildheart was struck and incinerated in a fiery explosion. Jaden's life points plummeted to 2050.
"Now that Wildheart's gone, Chakra's ATK drops down to 3450." Tabitha continued. "But the moment you play another card on the field, its ATK will rise back up."
"This is pretty bad." Atticus remarked. "Even Jaden setting a card on the field like a Spell or Trap will cause that thing to get stronger."
"The only way Jaden can beat Chakra in battle right now is if he played a monster with at least 3500 ATK and no other cards." Reggie observed. "Does he have anything that powerful?"
"One of his Fusions might be able to cut it." Atticus replied. "But it doesn't look like he even has the cards in his hand to summon one to the field. Let's just hope Jaden's next draw is a good one."
"I'll set one card on the field and end my turn." Tabitha announced. "Go ahead and play another card if you dare."
Jaden drew her next card and gritted his teeth. "I switch Steam Healer to Defense Mode and end my turn!"
"Seems you couldn't draw a card that could help you." Tabitha remarked. "Either that or you were too afraid to play another card on the field due to my darling Chakra's effect."
"That's where you're wrong!" Jaden told her.
"Fear is nothing to be ashamed of." Tabitha told him. "I understand how strong fear can be. I was afraid to be myself for a long time until I was freed by the order."
"What do you mean?" Jaden asked.
"I suppose it wouldn't hurt to tell you." Tabitha began. "My late parents were very religious. From a young age I was taught that those who fornicated with people of their own gender were leading sinful lives. But one day I realized that I found that I was attracted to other girls. I felt so ashamed. Then one day about three months ago, Mistress Electra called me to her office…"
Tabitha walked through the halls towards Electra's office. Gym class had only just ended moments ago and Tabitha had wanted to change back into her uniform. But her gym teacher had ordered her to go straight to the office. The whole way there, Tabitha wondered what it was that Electra wanted to see her about. She couldn't think of any reason why she would be in trouble. After a few moments, Tabitha arrived at the office and knocked on the door.
"Come in." Electra's voice called from inside.
Tabitha entered the office to see Electra sitting behind her desk. Her blazer was hanging from the back of her chair.
"You wanted to see me, Ms. Darkling?" Tabitha asked as she stood before the desk.
"Ah! Tabitha. Thank you for coming. I've been wanting to talk to you." Electra responded. "Please, have a seat."
Tabitha nodded and sat down in the chair in front of the desk. Electra got up and moved around to lean against the front of her desk. Tabitha found her eyes being drawn to Electra's large bust. It was clear that Electra wasn't wearing a bra underneath. She couldn't help but find Electra very attractive, but Tabitha quickly tried to push such thoughts from her mind. It was wrong for her to have such thoughts.
"Now Tabitha, I want to make it clear that you're not here because you're in trouble." Electra assured her. "It's just that I've been noticing something wrong with your performance."
"What do you mean?" Tabitha asked, trying not to look at Electra's chest.
"Well you're one of this academy's strongest duelist, but it seems that there's something holding you back." Electra explained. "I've been reading your file trying to figure out what that might be. You're parents are both dead, correct?"
"Yes ma'am." Tabitha confirmed. "They died in a car crash when I was thirteen."
"And in life, your father was a minister of some kind, correct?" Electra asked.
"Yes ma'am." Tabitha repeated. "My mother was very active in the church as well. Ms. Darkling, what does this have to do with how I perform as a duelist?"
"A family atmosphere like that must've been very… inhibiting for a girl like you." Electra replied. "And I can see from looking at you right now that my suspicions were correct."
"Ma'am?" a confused Tabitha responded.
"Oh come now, dear Tabitha. I've seen the way you've been trying to avoid looking at me." Electra revealed. "There's no shame in looking at something you like."
Suddenly Electra pulled off her red shirt, revealing her massive breasts. Tabitha's jaw dropped and her face turned bright red. It was one of the most stunning sights Tabitha had ever seen.
"Uh, uh, M-Ms. Darkling?" a very flustered Tabitha spoke. "What… what're you…?"
Electra walked over and gently placed a finger over Tabitha's lips. "Just relax. I'm going to give you the pleasure that you've yearned to have for so long."
Electra bent down and gave Tabitha a very deep kiss on the lips. The older blunette inserted her tongue into the dark-haired girl's mouth. Tabitha was simply blown away by the sensation. She had never expected her first kiss to be this way. There was still a tiny voice of her that was telling her that what she and Electra were doing was wrong and against God, but she was finding it very hard to listen to that voice. Over time as their tongues continued to mingle, Tabitha finally felt herself starting to relax.
After a few moments, Electra broke the kiss and pulled away so that Tabitha could catch her breath. With Tabitha still reeling from the kiss, Electra pulled off the younger girl's white gym shirt. Electra smirked upon seeing Tabitha's naked breasts.
"You're a very pretty girl, Tabitha." Electra remarked as she went behind Tabitha's chair and began rubbing her shoulders.
Any shred of ration thought that Tabitha had left was being torn away. The tiny voice that had been telling her that what she was doing was wrong had become a dull whisper. Before Tabitha knew it, Electra's hands moved down and began massaging her breasts. Tabitha gasped with pleasure and arched her back. The dull whisper had completely faded and she had become lost in pleasure.
Before long Electra's right hand moved down and went under Tabitha's gym shorts and panties. Her fingers began massaging Tabitha's moist womanhood, sending her to new heights of ecstasy. The bluenette then pushed two fingers into Tabitha's opening. Tabitha felt a painful sensation tear into her, but it did not last long. Slowly Electra began to push her fingers in and out of the younger girl. Over time, Tabitha could feel her pleasure grow. Then after what seemed an eternity, Tabitha climaxed, her body shuddering with release.
"Did you like that?" Electra whispered into Tabitha's ear. Tabitha was in such a daze that all she could do was nod. "You poor dear. It never ceases to amaze me how repressed the people of this age can be. People were far more liberated in my time. You've held your true desires in for far too long. I can help you to finally become free, Tabitha. Would you like that?"
Again, Tabitha nodded. Electra walked back around and stood before Tabitha. She pulled off her short black skirt and panties and leaned back against her desk. Tabitha's eyes widened upon seeing Electra's nude form. The sight of that bronze skin and dynamite figure was enough to make Tabitha's nose bleed.
"Go ahead. Take me." Electra told her. "You know you want to."
Tabitha found that she couldn't hold herself back. She got up from her chair, and after removing her black gym shorts and panties she walked over to Electra. They shared a brief open-mouthed kiss before Tabitha moved down to suck on Electra's left breast. After lingering there for a few moments, Tabitha continued to move down until she was on her knees. With a little bit of hesitation, Tabitha moved her head in and began to probe Electra's opening with her tongue.
Electra moaned and held Tabitha's head in place. Tabitha felt herself getting lost in what she was doing. It all felt so right, what she and Electra had been doing. Before long, Electra began bucking her hips. It was clear that she was coming close. Then at last Electra climaxed into Tabitha's mouth. Tabitha pulled back and remained on her knees.
Electra smiled and began stroking Tabitha's hair. "You were very good, my dear Tabitha. But I know there's still a fire within you just waiting to come out."
With that, Electra got up and walked over to a corner of the office. Tabitha watched as the older woman got down onto the floor on her back.
"Well? What are you waiting for?" Electra asked. "I'm all yours."
Tabitha's instincts had completely taken her over. She quickly went over to where Electra was lying down and got onto her knees. Taking Electra's leg in hand, Tabitha moved her hips so that their two openings were pressing together. Tabitha began to buck her hips hard into the tan blunette beneath her. She became almost mesmerized by the way Electra's large breasts bounced up and down with her movements. Overtime their bodies became covered in sweat. Then in almost the exact same moment they climaxed.
Exhausted, Tabitha collapsed onto her back. Her mind was trying to process what had just happened to her. Meanwhile Electra chuckled and moved so that she was on top of Tabitha.
"I was right. You do have a very strong spirit." Electra told her. "It just needed the right coaxing to bring it out. I can use someone like you in my order."
With that, the tip of Electra's right index finger began to glow with a strange white light. She touched the finger to Tabitha's forehead, and Tabitha felt a strange sensation rush through her. Every last inhibition that remained in the dark-haired girl was shattered.
"Serve me. Serve my lord, Zott." Electra told her. "And together we will create a new world where you can finally be free to have the pleasure that you've denied yourself for so long. Pleasure that you can explore without consequence."
Tabitha's lips curled into a smile. "I rule at the will of Lord Zott."
"…On that day, I was reborn." Tabitha continued in the present. "With Mistress Electra's guidance I gathered the legion of followers you now see before you. Since then we have been working to prepare for the revival of Lord Zott and the glorious new age he shall begin."
"Hail Zott, ruler of light, bringer of pleasure and chaos." Tabitha's hooded followers began to chant again. "Hail Zott, ruler of light, bringer of pleasure and chaos."
Jaden and Atticus were left stunned by Tabitha's tale. Yubel meanwhile remained calm. Reggie on the other hand seemed very unsettled by the story.
Atticus quickly noticed Reggie's reaction. "Mac, you okay?"
"That… that woman…" Reggie spoke. "She's the reason why… daddy…"
"It looks like that slutty assistant principle has been behind everything this whole time." Yubel observed.
"I should've figured it out sooner, the way Electra seemed to hate me." Jaden quietly replied. "But then does this mean that Electra and this Zott are somehow connected to the Light of Destruction?"
"One thing's for sure. Electra certainly is a piece of work." Yubel pointed out. "She brainwashed this girl by playing on her repressed desires and seducing her. In a way, she's just as much a victim as those girls who've been turned into cards."
Jaden nodded and turned his attention back to his opponent. "Tabitha! I think I get where you're coming from, but you don't need to help Electra in order to be who you are!"
"As if you know anything!" Tabitha scoffed. "I've finally free to be my true self thanks to Mistress Electra and Lord Zott! And soon the rest of the world will be as well. Now then, I equip my darling Chakra with the Spell known as Amulet of Forbidden Magic!"
Appearing on Chakra's chest was a large cut blue gem framed in gold. The demon began to glow with a red aura as soon as the gem appeared.
"Each time a Ritual Monster equipped with Amulet of Forbidden Magic destroys a monster in battle, it inflicts damage equal to the destroyed monster's DEF." Tabitha revealed. "Now, my darling Chakra! Destroy Steam Healer with Life Taker Gaze!"
Chakra fired a massive beam of red energy from its large eye. The beam hit Jaden's armored hero and caused him to explode. The force of the blast not only reduced Jaden's life points to 1050, it also knocked him to the ground. Jaden hit the back of his head on a small rock and suddenly everything went dark.
Author's Note: So the Ritual Monster known as Chakra and the card that summons it are real cards that date back to the oldest time of the card game. And it was these two cards that served as one of the major inspirations for this story. The Ritual Spell known as Resurrection of Chakra depicts a young woman (implied to be nude in the original Japanese artwork) being consumed by a mass of green tendrils. I first saw the card in one of the old Yu-Gi-Oh! video games made for the Gameboy Advance, and for a long time I was trying to figure out just what was being depicted in the illustration of this Spell card. After studying both the Spell card and Charkra closely and discussing the cards with some friends, I came to the conclusion that the young woman depicted in the Spell card is an example of what happens to the monsters sacrificed to resurrect Chakra.
It's because of the sheer oddity of that Spell card that Chakra is now one of my favorite Ritual Monsters next to the original Black Luster Soldier, Dark Master-Zorc, and Relinquished. Anyway, I decided that I wanted to do a Yu-Gi-Oh! related story that showed how Resurrection of Chakra might work if depicted in the anime or manga, Thus the concept for Ritual of Doom was born. Of course Chakra itself didn't seem big enough to base the entire story on. But I decided that it would at least play a fairly big role in one of the duels. Also, the rather suggestive original artwork for Resurrection of Chakra is kind of one of the reasons why this story has so many steam scenes in it. It's not exactly a card one would expect to find in a children's card game.
Please review and let me know what you think.
