Yo! Sorry for taking so long on this. I want to get some extra chapters done before uploading this one. That way I'm ahead of the curve when Life throws me for a loop.
The new Obelisk White dorm was a hive of activity. The lower members were currently working on making the dorm perfect for their lord and master. In one of the rooms, Ian, Jerome, and Amelia sat before a computer, the screen showing Sartorius' face.
"Its not good, Master. None of the fools here want to duel us. The exams where we can duel them is still months away." Jerome said, frowning.
"Its like they know something we do not." Amelia scowled, looking at a clipboard.
"I understand. Clearly, I underestimated them, believing them to be naïve. But it is of no matter. I have a plan to deal with that after all. Has everything been arranged?"
The three nodded. They had hired a minor pro duelist to come to the island. Amelia got up and left the room, stating that she would see if he was now ready to see them. As she left, Ian and Jerome turned back to the screen.
"How is Lord Aster?" Ian asked, concerned.
Sartorius sighed, shaking his head. There had been little to no change in his charge. The boy was still catatonic over his loss from the King. That made the two boys wilt. They prayed for their Lord's recovery. Their PDAs beeped making them look at the screens.
"He's ready to meet. We'll contact you again, Master."
Sartorius nodded.
"Remember, distract Jaden and then pick apart his allies one by one...until only he remains." Sartorius ordered, ending the call.
The two nodded, getting up and leaving the room to join with Amelia.
EODGX
The sounds of an arcade machine met the three's ears. Amelia opened the door, the three seeing a boy at an arcade game. The three walked in, overhearing him.
"Ya think ya can mess with the three time world video game champ?! Badabing~!"
The boy wore a white uniform, fingerless gloves, a necklace with an odd metal signet on it, and had black hair, one piece combed out. On the screen, the ship exploded into virtual dust, making him smirk.
"Hey, quit wasting quarters. WE got business, Lorenzo." Ian snarled, crossing his arms and making the boy turn around.
"Aright. So, ya need me to work over this kid?"
"We need you duel him and beat him. Then and only then can our Society take over the rest of the school." Jerome snapped.
"Aright, aright. Don't worry, pisanos. Question is how you gonna get him there?" Lorezno asked, returning to his game.
"We got that covered." Amelia said, pulling out a PDA. "You just make sure you get to the planetarium."
"Ey, no problem. I'll make this duelist lose big time!"
The three nodded, leaving the room. Amelia sent a quick message off, smirking.
"I pinched this PDA off of Alexis."
"Oh nice~! He'll think its from his girl." Ian said, cackling.
EODGX
Jaden stood outside the planetarium, confused as hell. Alexis had sent him a text, asking him to meet her there for a date under the stars. Yet...she was not here!
"Maybe she's already inside?" Jaden mused, walking in.
As he walked, several holograms of famous cards came on. Dark Magician, Blue-Eyes, Red-Eyes, Harpie Lady. Under his feet was the first Duel Stadiums used before the Duel Disks conception.
Entering the actual planetarium, he heard the doors slam and looked behind him. There were several students in White covering the doors, the king groaning.
"You stole Lex's PDA, faking a message...and I fell for it hook, line, and sinker."
"WHA-?! Youse telling me ya havin' me duel the freakin' KING?! DIS WAS NOT IN THE CONTRACT!" Lorenzo shouted, enraged and scared.
"Too bad." Amelia said, stepping away. "You signed it."
"Mama Mia..." Lorenzo muttered.
Jaden sighed. Looked like he was only getting out of here if he dueled. He slipped on his disk and chose a deck. Walking up, he eyed the duelist critically. Snapping his fingers, Jaden chuckled.
"Ah, its you, Lorenzo. So...got suckered again?"
"Yeah...sorry, Jay-man. Dhey told me I was duelin' some no body in an effort ta take over da school." Lorenzo said making them scowl.
"Lorenzo! What the hell are ya doing?!" Ian roared.
"HEY, YOU TRICKED ME INTO DUELING THE KING OF THE RING SO I'M GONNA SPILL THE BEANS TA HIM BEFORE ANYTHING ELSE HAPPENS TA ME, CAPISCE!?"
Jaden frowned at hearing the plan of the group. Still, he shook his head, getting into his stance. Lorenzo, seeing this, did the same. The two deployed their duel disks, both drawing their opening hand.
"DUEL!"
Lorenzo: 8000/Jaden: 8000
"I'll start." Lorenzo shouted, drawing.
Looking over his hand, the teen frowned. Going up against Jaden Yuki put this duel in a whole new ballpark. Who knows WHAT deck the golden eyed teen had chosen!? Sighing, Lorenzo chose a card.
"Armored Core, get over here, willya?!"
(Armored Core – LV/****, Attribute/LIGHT, ATK/1300, DEF/2000, Type/Machine/Effect.
If your opponent controls a monster and you control no monsters, you can Special Summon this card from your hand.)
A ship with green armor, a large laser cannon, and glowing blue core with several floating orbs appeared next to Lorenzo. Three cards appeared on his field, smirking.
"I place three cards facedown. This isn't no ordinary intergalactic starship. Its got tinted windows, leather seats, the whole shebang, fugabutit! I'll end."
Jaden drew his card, looking his hand over. Nodding, he revealed the card to be-
"STEAMROID?!"
"That's right. I play Steamroid in attack mode!"
(Steamroid – LV/****, Attribute/EARTH, ATK/1800, DEF/1800, Type/Machine/Effect.
If this card attacks an opponent's monster, this card gains 500 ATK during the Damage Step only. If this card is attacked by an opponent's monster, this card loses 500 ATK during the Damage Step only.)
A steam locomotive with cartoonish eyes chugged out onto the field. Everyone was shocked that the King was playing a deck that was weak in many duelists eyes. Jaden smirked.
"Alright, Steam...take out his Core!"
With a blast of its whistle, Steamroid charged forward. Using its front two wheels, it became buffed as it punched the core.
Steamroid – ATK/1800 → 2300
The core cracked and exploded, making Lorenzo cover his face.
Lorenzo: 7000
All around the two, red lights began to flash, making Jaden frowned.
"Ya triggered an alert there, yer majesty."
(Alert – Type/Trap/Normal.
Activate 1 face-down Continuous Spell Card you control.)
"Thanks ta this trap, I can activate my Boss Rush Spell! And I'll chain it with Cyber Summon Blaster!"
(Boss Rush – Type/Spell/Continuous.
You cannot Normal Summon or Set. During the End Phase of the turn that a "B.E.S." monster or a "Big Core" is destroyed and sent to the Graveyard, you can Special Summon 1 "B.E.S." monster or 1 "Big Core" from your Deck.)
(Cyber Summon Blaster – Type/Trap/Continuous.
Each time a Machine monster(s) is Special Summoned, while this card is already face-up in your Spell & Trap Zone: Inflict 300 damage to your opponent.)
A tank appeared with a large dish next to Lorenzo, the boy smirking.
"I play B.E.S Tetran! Get ova here!"
(B.E.S. Tetran – LV/******, Attribute/WIND, ATK/1800, DEF/2300, Type/Machine/Effect.
When this card is Normal Summoned, put 3 counters on it. This card cannot be destroyed by battle. If this card attacks or is attacked, remove 1 counter from this card at the end of the Damage Step. If you cannot, destroy it. Once per turn, you can remove 1 counter on this card to destroy 1 Spell or Trap Card on the field.)
The monster was another large starship, only it was a muted gray color with four massive tendrils to it and a glowing blue core in the center. Lorenzo smirked.
"Don't foget about my blaster!"
The machine came to life, sending out a single pulse of electrical energy. Jaden grunted, taking the hit.
Jaden: 7700
"I'll set two cards facedown and end my turn."
Lorenzo drew his card, ordering his monster to attack Steamroid.
"Due ta ya monster's effect, it loses five hundred big ones."
"Wrong. I reveal my traps! The first is Supercharge. Thanks to you attacking a Roid monster, I draw two cards. But that effect is chained to my second trap, Reverse Trap! Now instead of losing attack points, it GAINS."
"Mama Mia!"
Steamroid once again blasted the monster with a well placed punch to the core.
Lorenzo: 6500
Jaden drew his two cards, smirking as he saw them. Now he just needed one final card. Lorenzo ended his turn, playing another B.E.S Tetran.
Jaden: 7400
"Draw." Jaden intoned, drawing.
Seeing the cards in his hands, he nodded. Selecting several of them, he placed them in his disk.
"I set four cards facedown and follow that up with Pot of Greed." Jaden explained, drawing two cards. "Steamroid, attack!"
The monster struck, blasting apart Lorenzo's.
Lorenzo: 6000
Once again, another B.E.S. Tetran made itself known and the blaster struck Jaden.
Jaden: 7100
"What are ya tryin' ta do?!"
"Win. Right now, I'm in the lead." Jaden said, smirking.
And with those facedowns...I have assured my victory. Jaden thought to himself. But I need to get the cards out. Next turn...I will.
"I end."
"Badabing, I draw! Tetran! Attack!"
The large tendril struck out, crushing the weakened monster. Jaden pressed a button on his disk and a trap revealed itself. However, the cloud of dust and smoke covered it. Lorenzo smirked.
"How do ya like that?!"
"Not bad...if you landed a blow." Jaden said, revealing himself to be unharmed.
"What?!"
"HOW?!"
"Look, that trap! Its Spirit Barrier!"
(Spirit Barrier – Type/Trap/Continuous.
As long as you control a monster, all Battle Damage becomes 0.)
"Darn. I'll end my turn. With my monster attackin' witout a counter, its destroyed."
Tetran blew apart, Boss rush activating. Lorenzo chose a B.E.S. Big Core and placed it on his field.
(B.E.S. Big Core – LV/******, Attribute/DARK, ATK/2300, DEF/1100, Type/Machine/Effect.
If this card is Normal Summoned: Place 3 counters on it. Cannot be destroyed by battle. At the end of the Damage Step, if this card battled: Remove 1 counter from this card. If you cannot, destroy it.)
Big Core was a silver plated ship with four turrets. The blaster launched its attack, making Jaden frown.
Jaden: 6800
Jaden drew, looking at the card. He smirked. It was what he needed! Now his combo was set up.
"Here we go. I play Polymerization! Roids of Rescue Forces, merge!"
A fire truck with eyes appeared, followed by an ambulance with eyes. The two soared into the vortex and from it came a monster was a fusion of the firetruck and amblance.
"Meet Ambulance Rescueroid!"
(Ambulance Rescueroid – LV/******, Attribute/FIRE, ATK/2300, DEF/1800, Type/Fusion/Machine/Effect.
"Rescueroid" + "Ambulanceroid"
This monster cannot be Special Summoned except by Fusion Summon. Once per turn, when a monster on your side of the field is destroyed by battle and sent to the Graveyard, you can Special Summon that monster in Defense Position.)
Ambulance Rescueroid was a large red fire engine with a back similar to an Amblance. Roaring out onto the Field, It stopped to rest next to Jaden. The boy smirked, revealing another card of his.
"I play Decoyroid in attack mode."
(Decoyroid – LV/**, Attribute/WIND, ATK/300, DEF/500, Type/Machine/Effect.
While this card is face-up on your side of the field, your opponent cannot select a face-up monster as an attack target except "Decoyroid".)
A tiny red car with yellow headlamps and a flag on its back appeared. Lorenzo blinked before he started laughing.
"Dat's ya big move? Mama Mia, what a doofus!"
"I activate my facedowns...Cyber Summon Blasters!"
Two traps of Lorenzo's appeared, making him yelp. Smirking now, Jaden declared an attack with his Decoyroid. The tiny monster revved its engine and took off at the core of Big Core. The two exploded, Jaden smirking. Due to Spirit, he took no damage. When the teen ended his turn, Lorenzo played another Big Core, the Blaster striking Jaden.
Jaden: 6500
Decoyroid was snagged by Amb Rescueroid and returned to the field.
Lorenzo: 5400
"Ah nah! Your Amb Rescueroid monster can resummon any destroyed Roid monsta!" Lorenzo cried out.
"Correct! So...what are ya gonna do about it?"
"Well, first I'll draw. Then...I'll end."
"WHAT?!" Came the SoL members.
"Think about it, Pisanos! I attack his Decoyroid due ta its effect, he resummons it and deals me six hundred points of damage! I'm only dealin' three hundred here!" Lorenzo pointed out, watching Jaden draw.
"A shame then, that I have drawn the card that leads to your defeat. De-Fusion! I split my Amb Rescueroid back into Rescueroid and Ambulanceroid!"
The fusion monster became a fire truck and ambulance once more. Everyone was confused; what was the teen doing? Switching Decoyroid to attack mode...they got their answer. Decoy attacked Big core, both exploding.
Then came Rescueroid's effect along with Ambulanceroid's. Decoy returned and Lorenzo's eyes bugged out.
"Ah shit!" He cried out when the twin blasts struck him.
Lorenzo: 4800
"Now, all three attack him directly.
The three roid monsters did just that, striking Lorenzo hard.
Lorenzo: 4800 → 4500 (Decoyroid) → 4200 (Ambulanceroid) → 2600 (Rescueroid)
"I'll end at that."
Lorenzo gained a B.E.S. Crystal Core, but he was frowning. Jaden had done it...he had a combo he, Lorenzo, couldn't beat. Decoyroid drew the attacks of his B.E.S's, Spirit Barrier prevented the king from taking damage, Rescueroid would retrieve Decoy, Ambulanceroid would bring it back, and with TWO Cyber Summon Blasters in play, Jaden inflicted more damage then he! Looking over his hand, he saw Mystical Space, but even with it, he couldn't really use it. Sure, he could get rid of Spirit or one of the two Blasters, but Jaden had more life points then him. The battle would do more harm to him then good.
"Mama mia...ya really are the king."
"I see you discovered my combo."
"I did. Gotta say...that's one good combo. I'll end my turn..."
Jaden chuckled, drawing his card. He ordered Decoy to attack, the two monsters exploding. Lorenzo sighed, taking the hits from the Blasters.
Lorenzo: 2000
"That's game...mama mia."
Jaden nodded, ordering his three monsters to attack. Lorenzo took the blows like a champ, falling to a single knee.
Lorenzo: 0
"That's game. Still, not a bad Combo, Lorenzo." Jaden said, walking out to the boy.
"Thanks. Both fer da duel and fer not making me a blubbering idiot."
"I only do that to those that earn my wrath. Tell me, why did you take the contract?"
"Easy. I was hopin' that Sartorius would manage me now that Aster is...well, currently out of his mind." Lorenzo said, chuckling.
Hearing that, the SoL members all scowled.
"He wasn't loyal to the cause at all." Jerome seethed.
"Bastard...Master Sartorius will not let this go unpunished." Amelia growled.
While this was going on, Jaden and Lorenzo were talking. Lorenzo's eyes went wide at what he was hearing.
"You're kiddin'! A cult, here on the school?!"
"That's right. Not sure who the ringleader is yet...but be on your guard."
"Thanks, J-man. I owe ya." Lorenzo said, holding out his hand.
Jaden was about to take it when his senses went crazy.
"Foolish boy. Your future is with the Light!"
Lorenzo screamed out, a white aura blanketing him. Jaden watched as the minor pro's hair and eyebrows became white. The boy raised his head...eyes wide and smiling in glee.
"Master Sartorius...you've...shown me! Shown me the Light!"
"No..." Jaden said, dismayed.
"Looks like Lorenzo has been reborn." Jerome said smugly.
"Like all will be!" Amelia said, cackling.
Jaden looked over at them, his golden eyes glowing brightly. He was interrupted by Lorenzo speaking, but it was not his voice.
"Ah...it seems we meet again, Supreme King."
Jaden turned to the boy, seeing the glowing white eyes.
"Light of Ruin...you will regret coming back."
"Perhaps...but soon, even you will see the Light."
"You tried Eons ago...and failed. But this time? This Time, I will END you!"
All Sartorius did was scoff, moving Lorenzo to join the group. They all began to leave the planetarium's area, Jaden staring at their backs.
EODGX
Far from the school, two explosions occurred. On their knees before Ian and another SoL member was Miles and Anthony. Both were in shock for they had just lost a tag duel with the two.
"I...see now..." Anthony whispered.
"Yes...everything is opened to me!" Miles exclaimed, giddy.
"WE'VE SEEN THE LIGHT!" The two cried out.
All Ian and the SoL member...was smile.
Uh oh...looks like Sartorius is making moves on both the right and left! While Jaden deals with a new annoyance, several other members go after his friends.
