Sekhmet: While the cascade from last time leaks into this chapter, this one is much better, although still a bit uncomfortable in my opinion.

Susano-o: It's not a cult, it's an organization that promotes love and unity.

Sekhmet: Not even King of the Hill can save you from this one.

Susano-: Blah, also Rose finally takes a level is the supernatural, oh the horrors she will inflict with that power.

Sekhmet: Directly and indirectly. The plot kicks in here, boys. On with the show.

Duel 34: The End of the Beginning

Rose sat in class nervously tapping her foot, the results of the trial hadn't exactly been public, but the rumor mill at the school had taken over already. She had been getting a mix sympathy and pity the entire time and it was honestly driving her mad. She didn't want people to see her as weak, and didn't need their pity. Yuko had told her not to worry, as she was convinced that in two weeks' time, no one would care. Whether that was true or not has yet to be seen, though.

"Can you all just fuck off!" Rose said getting louder till she was yelling at the rest of the students. "I'm not a fucking invalid!" She grumbled sitting back down.

"Sarge no one thinks that," Hassleberry said patting her back.

"This'll all blow over, either naturally or because some other crazy shit happens, and then no one will remember." Yuko agreed. "Besides, I think people know by now not to talk shit."

"What could be more crazy than my guardian being arrested for abuse?" Rose growled.

"Attention students!" Bonaparte yelled. "I want to introduce our new student," He said gesturing to Sartorius. "Sartorius Saiou."

"Hello fellow students," Sartorius said with a sharp toothed smile. "It's wonderful to meet you all."

Yuko bristled heavily at the sight of the new student, but tried not to show it.

"Aren't you a little old to be a freshman?" Chazz asked from the row above.

"I'm 17," Sartorius corrected.

"I call EXTREME bullshit." Yuko thought. "There's no fucking way, especially not with jaundice like that."

Sartorius smiled as he went and sat down beside Yuko. "Hello," He said smiling at Yuko. All of Yuko's hair stood on end. This was more than a bad feeling. Every fiber of her being was telling her to get the fuck away from him. Still, she stayed strong and gave a simple nod. "Have you heard the word of the Society of Light?" He asked.

"I'm sorry, but I'm not really religious." Yuko said, trying ANYTHING to look busy.

"Oh, it's not a religion, but as class is starting, I'll find you later about it," Sartorius said getting out a notebook and pen.

….

"I'm going to kill someone," Rose growled. "I'm going to kill them all and throw them into the volcano."

"Come on, don't be like that. Or at the very least murder an inanimate object instead of a person." Yuko said.

Rose just growled again before suddenly changing directions. "I'm going for a ride, I'll be back tonight," She explained.

"Well alright. Don't wreck yourself." Yuko said.

"Alright," Rose said nodding.

….

"Hello there," Sartorius said to Chazz. "Have you heard the word of the Society of Light?"

"No," Chazz snarled. "Why would I know what that is?"

"Well you should," Sartorius said. "The Society of Light is Aster's pro league team, and I am his manager."

"How are you a manager at 17?" Chazz asked suspicious.

"I'm very good at what I do," Sartorius said vaguely. "After all, I'm the reason Aster made it to the pro league, and you seem like someone we want on our team."

"...I'm listening," Chazz said raising an eyebrow.

Sartorius smiled. "Lets go to my room and...discuss your new career path," He said putting a hand on Chazz's shoulder. "And thus, The Hanged Man is mine," He thought chuckling.

….

"Guys I got a bad feeling," Syrus said nervously.

"Me too." Yuko said.

"Yeah," Hassleberry said looking at their attempt at cooking. "I think this curry has gone bad."

"What did we do wrong?" Yuko asked.

"I told you using all that cinnamon was a bad idea," Hassleberry said poking it with a spoon, a spoon that melted when it touched the goop.

"No, we definitely burnt it." Yuko said, noting the charred color it had taken.

"Guys I think it blinked at me," Syrus said taking a step back.

"Are you going to eat that?" Eraser asked.

"Probably not." Yuko thought.

"Can I have it!"

"It's pretty much alive." Yuko thought.

"Good it will be more tasty!" Eraser chuckled. "Just chug it and I will take it!"

"I'll feed it to Eraser." Yuko said, picked up the pan and scraped it into her mouth.

Hassleberry looked at her like she was insane. Syrus turned beet red as he watched her chug it without stopping.

"Tasty!" Eraser growled eating it from inside Yuko's stomach.

"Yeah I hope that was worth it, my friends probably think I'm crazy for eating this." Yuko thought.

"Illogical, The one designated Syrus temperature increased by 25% in the facial area, suggesting a blush," Avatar responded. "Additional information detected, a 40% blood supply increase towards the waist area, suggesting he has become-"

"THANK you Avatar." Yuko thought abruptly.

"...erect," Avatar finished. "Logical action, begin the mating process."

"Yes time to go heels to Jesus!" Eraser yelled.

"Go hiding the bishop," Dreadroot added.

"Playing peek-a-boo with his vein cane in the flesh pipe!"

"Initiate the mating procedure."

"That one is not funny," Dreadroot snorted.

"No, it's not happening. Not for a long time." Yuko thought. "I don't care how illogical or what an opportunity I'm wasting, it's not happening."

"At least give the poor boy a blow job," Eraser said. "Poor thing looks like he's about to explode!"

"No! My body my rules." Yuko thought.

"Fine, but do not be surprised when the boy starts masturbating to thoughts of you," Dreadroot snarked.

"Probability of event already happening... 87%," Avatar added.

"I'm fine with that." Yuko thought.

"You ok there Corporal?" Hassleberry asked. "You've been staring off into space for about five minutes? And Syrus had to leave for some reason."

"I'm fine, just having a conversation with the gods." Yuko said.

"Oh right," Hassleberry said still not believing her fully about that. "Well I guess we can try again."

"Yeah, I'll get another chicken breast." Yuko said, going to look for a meat to put in their next attempt.

….

"Where the fuck am I?" Rose asked as she looked at her radar. "I swear I was heading to Tokyo, how did I end up in the Bermuda Triangle?"

Rose quickly resurfaced and looked around, all she was an island in front of her, and Mars dipping down below the horizon…. "Wait what!?" Rose yelled looking at the setting planet. "What the hell who put acid in my martini mix again!" She yelled driving towards the island. "I swear if it was you Brandon I'm going to break your shins," She muttered as her sub touched the shallows, allowing her to take her boat into land.

The beach was beautiful, pure white sand with the calmest, clearest water she had ever seen. "Well this is probably the best trip I've even been on," She said falling back on the sand. "Should get Belowski out here, could really use a burrito right now."

"Your burritos will be gone if you don't go back," A voice said in Rose's head.

"What?" Rose whined covering her face. "Look just let me trip in peace," She muttered.

"You aren't tripping," A voice explained.

"Right," Rose said sitting up. "Yeah I'm actually in space."

"No obviously not you would die," The voice said. "You are in Neo-Space, a space between the Earth and Space, I brought you here."

"Well let me sit here and enjoy myself," Rose snorted. "I've had a stressful week and want to sit here and relax."

"Unfortunately you need to go back, your friends are in danger, the Light of Destruction has invaded your Academy."

"Ok I feel like I'm missing something here," Rose said looking around. "Actually I feel like I'm missing a lot, so explain."

"The Light of Destruction is an ancient force that existed even before the first duel monsters card was carved into existence, it's one goal was to destroy all life in the universe, however it was opposed by The Gentle Darkness, a force that sent the Light away and allowed life to flourish, however now the Light has returned, and now it's goal is to take control of all life in the universe rather than destroy it," The voice explained.

"Ok now how does this involve me?" Rose asked.

"You are the current holder of The Gentle Darkness," The voice explained. "One of your ancestors was the first holder, and now it falls to you to fight the Light."

Rose groaned. "How do you even know I'm the one?"

"You came here," The voice said. "That's all I needed to know."

"How is it even here?" She asked standing up.

"It came with Sartorius, he holds a piece of The Light of Destruction, and he has taken control of your friend Chazz."

"Fucking hell Chazz," Rose growled. "Alright, but before I do this, who are you?"

The air in front of Rose suddenly distorted and 'Winged Kuriboh' appeared in front of her. "I have been waiting for this to happen, it is my destiny to guide you."

"Alright, fine," Rose said petting his head. "Let's go save the world again," She said walking back to her submarine.

….

"Chazz, what the hell are you wearing?" Yuko asked. Her friend was sporting a new white uniform.

"It's the uniform of the Society of Light obviously," He said snorting as he looked down at Yuko from his palanquin.

"That sounds like a cult. Did you join a cult?" Yuko sneered back.

"We aren't a cult!" One of the now white uniformed blue girls said. "We're an organization that promotes love and unity!"

"Yeah you joined a cult." Yuko said, and started towards the docks. "Hold on. I'll go get Rose and we'll sort this out."

"Corporeal the Sarge hasn't come back yet," Hassleberry whispered.

"I know. I'm gonna go wait for her." Yuko said.

"Good," Chazz smirked. "You can tell her all about how Master Sartorius has shone everyone in the Obelisk Blue dorms the light, even Alexis as seen the light."

Yuko stopped for a moment, but then kept going. "Fuck your cult bullshit." She said before disappearing over the hill.

"Oh the Sarge isn't gonna like that," Hassleberry said grabbing Syrus and running towards the docks.

"I can't believe the cults got out here. We're in the middle of scenic nowhere!" Yuko said. "There's nothing to worship but cards and the volcano!"

"Isn't that what two major religions worshiped?" Syrus asked from Hassleberry's shoulder.

"I dunno, maybe. I had enough of this crap on the mainland, can we have a normal school year for five minutes?!" Yuko asked exasperated.

"I don't know but I think we need to prepare ourselves," Hassleberry said pointing at the waters. "The Sarge is back."

"Shit. I got this one." Yuko said, volunteering herself to be maimed.

"Tally Ho!" Rose yelled as she landed. "So apparently Sartorius is evil, lets go duel him and stop his plan before it gets going."

"I'm not gonna ask how you read our minds, but I don't think it's gonna be that easy. He's got Alexis." Yuko said. "Well, allegedly. I'm not actually sure of Chazz was baiting me or not."

"Huh?" Rose asked. "What happened? I was gone for a day?"

"Ok, long story short, Sartorius started a cult, got Chazz, got the entire blue dorm on board, and got Alexis. That's what I've been told/witnessed." Yuko said.

Rose blinked. "You have to be pulling my leg," She chuckled. "Chazz yes I could see being that stupid, but Alexis nah, besides she's been at the Red Dorms."

"Look, I don't even know if Chazz was telling the truth. But I saw an entire procession of these white people ten minutes ago. She could have been in there" Yuko said. "Either way, I wouldn't lie to you about this kind of thing."

"Alright," Rose said, rolling her eyes. "Lets go deal with this cult," She said walking towards the blue dorms.

….

"Well that's...bright," Rose said as she looked at the repainted blue dorms, which where now pure white.

"Hey, are you guys with the cult?" Yuko asked two white girls.

"We aren't a cult," One said. "We're an organization that promotes love and unity."

"Yep this is the cult," Rose said walking inside.

Inside was much of the same, the place was much the same, all the blue and white replaced with white and lavender and the statues of Obelisk being replaced with statues of Sartorius.

"This place looks terrible," Rose said looking around at the white furniture. "And Slifer protect the person who tries to eat a burrito in here."

"I know. Danger Will Robinson." Yuko said.

"Sarge I think that's your girl over there," Hassleberry said pointing at a girl helping oversee the installation of a Sartorius statue over the water fountain.

"Yep, I'd recognize dat ass anywhere," Rose smirked as she walked over to Alexis and grabbing her in a hug. "Hey lovely," She said rubbing her face in Alexis's hair. "Missed you."

"Excuse me," Alexis said glaring at Rose. "What do you think you are doing?!" She said throwing Rose off her.

"Uh oh," Hassleberry said nervously.

"Fuck." Yuko said under her breath.

"Hugging my girlfriend?" Rose said raising an eyebrow.

"We're not dating," Alexis glared. "Not until you join the Society of Light, I refuse to date an outsider, and especially one who hangs out with those two dwebs and the warugaki."

"The FUCK did you just call me bitch?!" Yuko yelled, rolling up her sleeves and making an approach, though Syrus was able to stop her.

"Woah calm the fuck down, Alexis," Rose said glaring. "Seriously what is wrong with you?"

"I've seen the light," Alexis said smugly.

Rose turned to the readers of this fanfic. "Pro tip, if anyone ever says they've seen the light or had their eyes opened, they have 100% joined a cult," She said before returning to the story. "You have 100% joined a cult."

"No I haven't!" Alexis yelled. "And if you're just here to insult me you can leave!" She said pointing at the door, this attracted the attention of the rest of the dorm who came and surrounded the four.

"Oh joy," Rose smirked cracking her knuckles. "It's 'Rose beats up an entire dorm 2: Electric Boogaloo'."

"Featuring Yuko, who had her heart removed as well as her ovaries last July." Yuko said, cracking her neck in an unsettling way.

"And Tyranno Hassleberry with his DINO DNA!" Hassleberry yelled as his pupils turned to slits.

"And Syrus, who's trying his best!" Syrus said.

"How about this instead," Alexis smirked cruelly. "Three dorks and a freak leave before I tell the whole dorm their secret."

Rose when pale. "No no no," She whispered nervously.

"Oh?" Alexis asked raising an eyebrow. "You don't want me too?" She asked smirking. "Well too bad you intersex freak!" She yelled.

Rose had frozen, she could feel everyone staring at her as the blood tried to simultaneously rush to her cheeks and leave her face. Her embarrassment however was soon trampled under the burning rage that had ignited in her chest, it was like someone has thrown a match into a room full of Hydrogen gas and dynamite. She started shaking, and if Alexis had bothered to look, she would have been able to tell it was from rage not sadness.

Yuko didn't care. She never had. But one thing was for sure. Alexis was gonna die, and Yuko was tempted to let it happen.

What truly happened next was a topic of debate for years, but the one thing people could agree on was that somehow Rose had been able to tackle Alexis into the fountain and hold her by her neck underwater while she wailed on her face with her other arm.

"YOU FUCKING BITCH!" Rose roared as she brought another left hook down on the struggling girl. "YOU FUCKING SLUT!" She screamed grabbing Alexis's throat with both her hands and shaking her head hard enough to slam it into the stone fountain. "I'M GONNA FUCKING KILL YOU!" Rose screamed as Alexis's fighting got weaker from lack of oxygen.

"Sarge!" Hassleberry yelled grabbing Rose and trying to drag her back, though everyone could see even with his strength he was struggling. "She's not worth it!"

Yuko stood by in silence. Eventually, her actual conscience forced her to contribute to restraining the humanoid typhoon that had become of her friend.

Syrus also jumped in to help, but all he really ended up doing was grabbing onto one of Rose's legs and holding on for dear life.

"YOU'RE DEAD!" Rose screamed as Alexis finally climbed out of the fountain, soaked and bleeding. "YOU'RE DEAD! EVERYONE YOU KNOW IS DEAD! EVERYTHING YOU CARE ABOUT IS DEAD! I'LL BURN THIS FUCKING SOCIETY DOWN TO THE GROUND WITH MY OWN HANDS!" She screamed trying to free herself from her friends grip. "GET OVER HERE! LET ME GO!" She screamed.

"Sarge she's not worth it!" Hassleberry screamed trying not to lose his grip. Yuko said nothing, saving her words for when they were out of the fray.

Rose screamed as loud as she could and then suddenly every piece of glass in the lobby, from the windows to even Syrus's glasses exploded from the inside out as thin tendrils of black energy whipped up a windstorm around Rose, sending students scrambling to find cover.

"What in the FUCK was that?!" Yuko thought. Despite looking stoic on the outside, she was scared as fuck on the inside.

"HEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHE FINALLY A WORTHY OPPONENT! OUR BATTLE WILL BE LEGENDARY!"

"Power has surged from total trauma. Chance of defeating it: 1%." Avatar said.

"DO NOT ENGAGE." Dreadroot yelled.

"Yuko I'm scared!" Syrus yelled. "I can't see, my glasses broke!"

"It'll be alright!" Yuko shouted.

Rose finally stopped fighting, only to explode with a black energy wave the shattered a nearby statue. "You're all dead," Rose growled as she walked out of the lobby, making sure to literally rip the doors off as she left. Yuko scurried out holding Syrus' hand to guide him, and Hassleberry followed behind.

"What now, Rose?" Yuko asked. "I'm at a loss of what to do here!"

"Go get everyone not in that cult and have them meet at the Red Dorms!" Rose ordered. "I'll be back by tonight!" She yelled stomping towards the main building, she had a sewing club to threaten.

Yuko took Syrus by the hand and made her way to the Ra Yellow dorms.

….

Back at the White Dorm, Brandon walked down the stairs to the lobby, he had been setting up his new dorms server room when everything was going down so he didn't know what had happened. "Hey what happened?" He asked looking at the destroyed mess of the lobby.

"Oh that Slacker Scum Rose had a freak out and somehow blew out the windows," One of the students snorted.

Brandon turned pale. "What do you mean?" He asked nervously.

"Oh Alexis revealed how much of a freak she was and she decided to lose it, honestly no impulse control at all."

Brandon started sweating. "Oh shit we are dead," He muttered.

"Don't worry my child," Sartorius said walking into the lobby. "We will not be defeated by the likes of her," He said smiling.

"No you don't understand," Brandon said nervously. "Rose isn't human, she's a living force of chaos and destruction, a humanoid typhoon, she will destroy us and any attempts to resist will see everyone here erased from history under her boot!" He said getting louder and louder as he went. Everyone in turn just laughed.

"You are worried for nothing," Sartorius said putting a hand on Brandon's shoulder. "The light will protect you, as well as your fellow members."

Brandon simply shook his head before giving Sartorius a peace sign, vanishing into nothingness, three notes of different pitch being the only thing left behind. Sartorius blinked as his hand dropped to his side and he started looking around. "Did anyone see where he went?" He asked.

The rest of the members shook their heads as they started looking around to see if he was hiding. Sartorius looked to his left and right as he tried desperately to figure out where his student had disappeared too.

….

Brandon suddenly reappeared in front of his family home, in rural Arkansas, confident this would be far enough away from the inevitable destruction that Rose would bring down upon the Society of Light, but before that. "Mom! Dad! I joined a cult again!" He yelled.

"God Dang it boy you'd better not be doing the scientology again!" His dad yelled back.

"No! This isn't as bad!" Brandon yelled back.

"I'll get the funnel," His mom sighed. Brandon shivered at the mention of the funnel, but knew it was the only way.
