Answer to Anonymous review 1: Don't worry, I fixed that little detail with Ancient Gear Golem. I seriously apologize about that. Ugh!
Answer to Anonymous review 2: Yugi and Jaylin NEVER train in public, because, as you stated, the child services would start questioning Yugi raising Jaylin. Just think of it this way. It'd be like accusing Goku of abusing his son, because he once punched Gohan for disobeying him. Okay, you wouldn't punch a normal kid, because that's abusive, but Gohan is a half Saiyan kid that could destroy the entire planet in an instant without moving a muscle. He could give Superman a run for his money. Goku punching Gohan is the equivalent of a spanking, probably even a pinch from the amount of strength Gohan possesses. The same can be said about Jaylin. She has dark powers and, if you've watched the Yugioh manga or season 0 with Yami and his shadow games, just imagine that in a young girl times 10. What Yugi does to train Jaylin is the equivalent of doing pushups. Yes, she does bleed and rips some skin, maybe leave a bruise or two, but Jaylin could kill everyone on the entire island without blinking an eye. The fact that she could split a huge boulder twice her size in two just by hitting against it should prove that what Yugi is doing is considered training and any child services that says otherwise can kiss Yugi's ass, because they don't know what abusing a girl with dark powers that could kill thousands of people in a blink of an eye is. In other words, even a man-eating shark like the great white shark would NOT stand a chance against Jaylin. Also, yes, Jaylin's real parents are the worst parents in history, but just wait until you find out what Jaylin did to that dog... not pretty.
As for Yugi adopting Jaylin very young. A single male at age 20 in Japan can adopt kids, if they sign the paperwork and have the license and proof of handling children. Yugi could've used his first collage year of taking a class or having some sort of proof. Being that Japan gets suspicious over adoption and that Yugi was able to adopt a child despite of that should already indicate that he probably did get proof. As for Yugi's reasoning and not adopting a pet. Yugi's personality is different than most. Yugi having a pet wouldn't be enough for him to not be lonely. He needs a human being with him. This is shown in the Yugioh manga that he likes company and human company. Though, he likes to have a pet, a pet wouldn't give him the kind of company he needs. It doesn't just show with Yugi, but with real actual people. Even someone that's dealing with loneliness, a pet doesn't always help and sometimes isn't enough, especially if that person goes through depression. The fact that Yugi hiring a roommate wasn't enough should already indicate that a pet will defiantly not be enough. What that story indicates is that Yugi was lonely and wanted, not just a companion, but someone to love. He was seeking for someone to love him and there are people in real life that are like that. Review please!
It was Holloween break at Duel Academy, which usually lasts for the entire 31st day. Many of the students decided to use this time to visit family at Friday and the weekend after that, returning on Sunday afternoon back to the island. Jaylin, however, stayed behind, since Yugi was at a dig somewhere in Northern Asia. Jaylin did invite her childhood friends to stay over on the island, since Ronda and Carl were gone and she had the dorm to herself.
Katal Yakasha had short dark red hair, which was dyed. She was short with short blue jean shorts, a green t-shirt with the ocean waves of different colors, blue tennis shoes, and light brown eyes. Her twin sister Kathle Yakasha had short natural black hair, wore a red and brown plaid skirt, and a black tank top. These two had grown up with Jaylin at the orphanage and still stayed there to this very day as students of Domino High.
Shon Rhinoski was very tall with raven black hair and small blue eyes. He was slightly darker than the three girls, wearing a pair of jeans, brown boots, and a striped white and green shirt. He was one of the few Japanese people to have blue eyes, which he inherited from his part European parents. It's what made him stand out among the others.
The sleeping arrangements for the next two days of sleeping over on the island were that the twins would sleep in Jaylin's dorm and Shon would stay in Zane's dorm. Zane was never used to the idea of having a roommate ever since his friends vanished, but he couldn't bring himself to say "no" when Jaylin gave him the pleading look with her bright hazel eyes glittering like the glare from the sun onto the ocean blue.
Jaylin and her friends were inside her dorm reading mangas. Jaylin wasn't a HUGE manga nerd, but did enjoy a few issues here and there. She remembered reading copies of Pokemon Adventures in the past and will get into other stuff. She was enjoying a manga of Absolute Boyfriend, turning a page and reading more of the story.
"Black and White is really awesome! I don't get why you're reading that shit," Shon commented to Jaylin.
"I will! I will! I just wanna see if Night will ever get out of that hospital place and be with Riiko!" Jaylin said.
"It's obvious she's gonna end up with that Soshi guy. I mean seriously. Night is a freakin' robot!"
"Robot boyfriend and it's a parody of Chobits, thank you very much!" Jaylin defended, sticking her tongue out.
"Which is just as lame as the one you're reading!"
Jaylin responded by flipping Shon off before he laughed in response. Kathle said, "actually, I like Absolute Boyfriend too."
"That's because you're lame. Here you girls complain about Twilight: Puppy Love then read that piece of crap."
"This is a better love story than Twilight: Puppy Love!" The trio girls said together.
"How is it any different!? You've got dumbass bitch, who is in love with her childhood friend and some guy, who was there to look pretty for her, and the bitch taking advantage of them. That's Twilight: Puppy Love in a nutshell!"
"It's different, because the story makes fun of it and Riiko is supposed to be a bitch, like Bulma from Dragon Ball. Also, compared to Edward, Night is more naive and Soshi is not an asshole like Jacob," Jaylin explained as Shon sighed, rolling his eyes.
"I still don't see how it's any different than Twilight: Puppy Love."
"Because shut up!"
Everyone laughed, Jaylin turning the next page of the manga. Katal asked Jaylin, while pulling back her hair behind her right ear, "how's the dark force thing coming along?"
"I'm still training my friends. I'm having Ronda practice on conjuring up dark matter and turning it into energy. The rest are having to hold themselves on a tree branch, while also learning to punch and kick a thick wooden wall."
"Building up their pain tolerance?" Shon asked with absolutely no emotion.
"The key to winning Shadow Games is to have the least amount of pain tolerance. If not, they don't stand a chance."
"True," the trio friends responded.
"So, Carl still trying to hook up with you?" Katal asked teasingly to Shon.
"Well, I can't hold a blush, if a girl says I'm hot," Shon bragged as the girls giggled.
"So, how's your mom doing?" Jaylin asked, showing a sleepish smile.
"She's doing okay. Still hasn't recovered from that accident, though she's getting there."
"Have you found him?"
"Nope. Still trying to find that blowhard cousin of mine! I'm not sure if I'll ever find him and make him pay for taking ever cent from Mom's paycheck and house, then taking off and practically running her over, while she was on her bicycle!"
"You plan on beating his ass?" Kathle asked curiously.
"Of course not. He's my uncle and I love him," Shon replied with such a soft tone before his face turned dark. "I'm gonna send him straight to hell and into the depths of darkness where no man ever returns alive." The girls laughed, then gave him a high five.
"You know, your family's weird with their relationship and all! I mean Yugi and I aren't related, but we're never vengeful or anything," Jaylin said.
"Well, we're not really huge on the honor method like you guys are. In fact, sometimes I think it's a curse that my family's messed up to the highest common denominator," Shon commented, resting his chin on his knee.
One of the very things about Shon was that his family was nothing like the common Japanese family, where they were always together and very big on bringing honor to the family or not be part of the family at all. It was like World War 3 in Shon's place and it was the main reason he would often visit Yugi's house. Yugi always welcomed Shon with open arms, but was very clear with his rules. Shon had picked up a million bad habits from his family and, it was because of that, he was always nicer and polite to Jaylin and the twins. Around other women, however, Shon was usually very raunchy.
Katal and Kathle had always wanted parents ever since Yugi had adopted Jaylin, though never got any. Yugi would usually welcome the girls to his place and, because of that, they looked to him as a could-be father, though he never raised them. At times, they would wish that Yugi had adopted them too, being he was the first and only Japanese parent they knew that was willing to adopt. Yugi asked Seto Kaiba to adopt the twins, but their parents never released them from their custody and he never wanted to go through the trouble like Yugi was willing to for Jaylin.
While the girls and Shon never possessed dark powers like Jaylin, the kids did train from childhood on how to survive Shadow Games. It was one of the reasons why Shon could easily pick up women, having such a ripped body and hardcore abs from the adventures he faced with the girls. The girls also had hard abs and strong muscles, though nobody hardly notice, being that the girls hardly got themselves in trouble to the point of fighting. Shon was more of the fighter.
A scream was heard outside from a group of boys, which made the gang jump. They immediately ran out of the dorm room to check the premise. Running toward the Slifer Red dorm were three boys that Jaylin knew were in the Obelisk Blue Dorm. From what she could guess, they weren't invited to the Slifer Red Dorm, making her suspicious on why they would be running there to safety.
"What's going on? You know you can't be here!" Jaylin asked.
"Are you the girl who rumor has it trespassed into the Forbidden Dorm and survived a Shadow Game?" A male student with shoulder length brown hair and glasses asked, panting.
"So they say, why?"
"My name's Torrey! I didn't think it was true, but... we just saw the spirit of Jinzo haunting our school when I was going in to study at the library!" Torrey explained as Jaylin rose two eyebrows. "We thought... if Jinzo was real, then the rumors about you surviving a Shadow Game must be true too. Jaylin, can you help us!? You're the only one we know that could deal with something like this! Please!"
"Better not be a prank!" Katal scoffed as Jaylin checked the island for any dark energy or paranormal activity, her eyes glowing gold for a second, which freaked Torrey and his friends out.
"He's not lying," Jaylin indicated before her gold eyes faded. She looked at Torrey. "I want you to show me where Jinzo is. I know him personally, so I doubt if he's out to harm anyone. Though, for your safety, stay with us and do exactly as I say. Got it!"
"G-Got it," Torrey replied fearfully.
Jaylin and her friends ran down the steps of the Slifer Red Dorm and followed the Obelisk Blue Students. They led the gang into the school, which was dark, due to there being no school for the day. Though, the doors weren't locked, since students were still on the island wanting to study in the library or needed the Nurse's Office. The the second floor of the school was dark and all the classrooms were locked tight.
Jaylin felt the dark matter all around her and tried to focus on any high amount of dark matter or strong circuit energy. Torrey shuttered, then asked, "could you not do that? The gold eyes thing is freaking me out."
"Listen, my eyes might not be beautiful, but I'm trying to detect my surroundings. Unless you want to get yourself killed, suck it up and stop wining like a pussy," Jaylin snapped as the three Obelisk Blue boys gulped.
A sound of electrical circuits was heard and the boys shuttered in fear, their faces growing pale and showing fear. Torrey's friend with huge hazel eyes asked, "what was that?"
"Looks like our friend's here," Jaylin smirked, walking in front. "Stay behind me."
Jaylin walked down the hallway, feeling the energy source leading her to Mr. Banner's classroom. She figured that Jinzo was probably looking for her specifically. Torrey and his friends stayed with Jaylin's friends, still shuttering as Jaylin knocked on the door.
"Jinzo, are you in there!?" Jaylin called out before the door automatically swung open and a gust of wind shot directly from behind the kids toward the door, which was unnatural. The three Obelisk Blue boys screamed at the top of their lungs before realizing that no harm was done and just shook in fear at the sight of a spirited Jinzo. "I can see you're in my classroom. Were you looking for me?"
"I was. Are those boys with you?" Jinzo asked, looking toward the three Obelisk Blue boys, as Jaylin nodded, the boys turning even more pale.
"They told me you were making commotion. If you or any of the other spirits want to talk to me, I suggest you try not using so much energy and make a scene. I can see you just fine as a wandering spirit. My dorm is also over there," Jaylin told Jinzo, pointing to the direction of the Slifer Dorm.
"It's not my fault. My body is sucking the dark energy from that empty place over there," Jinzo explained, pointing to the direction of the Forbidden Dorm. "As you know, I am a cyborg and I gather my energy from darkness."
"Point taken. Anyways, what do you need me for?"
"Have you heard of Nightshroud?"
"Zane told me about him. He was the one, who possessed Atticus Rhodes around two years ago."
"Wait, you mean that one was true too!?" Torrey's small friend asked in deep shock.
"No way, man!" Torrey responded.
"Nightshroud is one of the demon lords. Three of them took control of the three legendary beast cards buried under this school. When Pegasus created the cards, he mistaken the three beasts to be the legendary Egyptian God Cards, but they were actually demon beasts from hell," Jinzo explained. "Anyways, Nightshroud is leading a group of assassins to destroy you, after your Shadow Game several months ago."
"I guess the dark one wasn't too happy."
"This dark one you speak of is Tragoedia. He was a former citizen of Kul Elna, who was not present when the destruction of that city took place."
"Wait, I thought that was Bakura!"
"He was a survivor when the destruction happened, but he was not the first to fall into darkness. The first one was Tragoedia and I'm afraid he's worse than Bakura and Aknadin combined. He possessed the three legendary beasts and, when fused together, they can create his ultimate Ka form, named after himself."
"Oh boy!"
"These three legendary beasts, however, are only three parts of Tragoedia, one of them being his main form and the leader of the group. The other two were named Nightshroud and Trueman. Jaylin, I have seen you with your father, his friends, and your friends, including my master. If you don't stop them, they will destroy everything in their path. Tragoedia is wanting vengeance for the destruction of his home and will do it by any means of killing anyone, who shares Pharaoh Aknamkanon's blood. It won't end there, because, after this world is destroyed, they'll go to the Underworld and destroy the Pharaohs and their legacy there as well."
"If they're out to get their revenge by destroying the offspring of Aknamkanon, why go through all the trouble of destroying every being on earth?"
"It's been 3000 years Jaylin, do you honestly believe that even evil beings can keep up with the offsprings? There were even immigrants from Egypt that moved to other parts of the world like the Europe, America, some parts of Asia maybe. I mean even African slaves were shipped to America! If Tragowhatever wants to destroy all of Aknamkanon's blood, he might as well destroy the entire world, so he won't miss a blood related man or woman," Shon pointed out, half shrugging.
"Point taken. Though seriously, what do you expect me to do, Jinzo? I can't just go in that dorm and conjure up a Shadow Game! Even my dad can hardly control himself when he challenges one to a local criminal! If I start going there now, I might destroy this island or worse!"
"Very well, but that's not going to stop Nightshroud from trying to rid of your existence. You're one of the only few that stands a chance against Tragoedia, Nightshroud and Trueman," Jinzo warned as Jaylin nodded. "If you're lucky, you might even meet a companion, who stands just as much of a chance." He began disappearing into the mist, the mist blowing against the kids and the Obelisk Blue boys screaming at the top of their lungs. "Also prepare! There is someone that will arrive to test your skills!" Then, Jinzo was gone.
"I-Is he gone?" Torrey asked fearfully.
"He's gone," Jaylin sighed in relief. "Though, there's too much darkness around this island and I'm fearing for what's about to happen." She turned to Torrey with a serious tone and face. "I'll speak to the teachers about this. You guys take care of yourselves."
"R-Right. Thanks for the help."
"Your welcome."
The boys ran off as Jaylin sighed, Shon turning to her and asking, "so, what now?"
"Inform my dad on this and I'll text my friends. We've got alot of training to do."
A/N: Just to let you guys know, in Japan, Twilight is called Twilight: Puppy Love. Personally, I think it fits the story pretty well.
