Time To Answer The Reviews:

Misaka Phenex: Have you seen those skirts? Those are short as hell. It would have, but I like to use real cash. Yeah, one of my biggest mistakes was that Celina didn't really have that much of a presence at the start of the fic, which is my fault, I do try my best to give her the best that she could have. If you are talking about Bastion, well I kinda have to since he is one of my personal favourite characters in the whole show.

HunterHQ (I might have to split this into parts.): Yuri is still here, but as a special guest at a later part of the story. Nope, Zuzu is too young. I have thought about adding Julia, but maybe later on in Season 3 or 4. Nope, only the new gen characters. Not yet at least, she won't be seeing them for a long time. I have honestly forgot about Relinqueshed's effect. When I started to write this fic, I haven't read the manga. Aster plays the Vision Heroes and Destiny Heroes, it better suits him. Cyberse will get in for a few moments. In here, she is the same age as the rest. Yup, that is what I like doing to most characters. Dual Avatar might be a good deck for later… Maybe, if I could write the Admiral Tag Team Duel as a one shot. Yuya is a little kid, Yuto is doing his own thing while he is the same age as Yugo. A little bit yeah, but not that much. That I have to agree. I think Alexis was the only female character that was able to get a win in GX. The dude is canonically a wimp, a loser. One punch and he is like Yamcha. OH FOR SURE FOR SEASON 4! Yeah… with stealing him. Eh… I do like Midori and Koyo from the Manga, but they aren't that interesting for me to add them. At best, Koyo is a popular Pro Duelist and Midori is a teacher to a different school. Something fabulous. Well in canon, he hates those slackers, so all of that is negated. The Anime was a big reason for that.

Yeah I can see that. After the whole Seal Of Orichalcos, that would be logical to do so. Jaden was the only one to get a spare key from Celina if she wants to wake up. Yeah, as much as I love to make fun of Crowler, he is legit one of my favourite characters in the whole show. I think you have to do extremely well to get promoted, and I think it was stated that he wants to beat someone until he gets promoted. Celina… was definitely something with the card crush. Well there are some cards that are outright banned in my fics. Mystic Mine is one of them. That will be shown at least once. I began to do that around Chapter 25, I do apologize if you aren't able to understand them. And you would be correct. That is actually not a bad comparison for Demon Slayer. Possibly about new support. Guys like Zane and Aster will get new support added into their decks. Sadly no, in this fic at least, there is an OC in my VRAINS fic. Oh yeah, speaking of Rush Duels, Zane has the Cyber cards from there. I did go a little further into that idea in the Shadow Riders Arc.

True, but there is a problem with that. Sheppard would find people like the teachers for the Expulsion Duel, which in result would be easier compared to what Crowler would have done for basically screwing the rules and the most important one. Yeah, good point, but for the swearing? Teenagers in a high school setting is something you would expect swearing like a sailor, I should know. I was one of them. I tried my best with Yusuke compared to what the anime did. Honest won't be there for Zane, however he might be the key to free him. Probably because the pay wasn't very good. Comedic effect can only go so long. Thank fuck he was placed in house arrest. Nah, Yuri spawned, craved for the souls of the innocent and wanted blood. For sure with Syrus. Adrian will be playing a Fog King Deck, rather than an Exodia Deck. They will be recurring.

That is not a bad idea for Bastion, a shame that he plays like 3 out of the 6 decks that he has on him. Don't worry about Chazz, he will Chazz It Up through everything and come up on top. It was a sign to show that I made different Shadow Riders. No, not really. The Wicked Cards never really interested me compared to the others. I think it is because of the fact he was a senior duelist. Yeah, that might be a good choice, but I gave her a new design in Season 2. Yup and that is it. They showed up and did nothing with them. I really hope I am able to pull that off, that is an insane combo and monster. The first deck? Anything with Dark Dragons, kinda like Ryoken. As a gag? Yup. They tried… they needed a therapist after dealing with her. True, but I wanted to write something that was more canon, y'know?

"So, why are we going to the Slifer Red dorm this late, again?" asked Sora as he was walking with Bastion, Yusuke, Ray and Aster while eating a Snickers bar. While it wasn't extremely late, it certainly didn't excuse the fact that they were walking when it was clearly pitch black outside.

"Beats me." Ray shrugged his shoulders, "All he said that we should have a movie night with a new student in the Slifer Red dorm."

"A movie night? But, tomorrow is a school day." Bastion said as Ray looked at him.

"Relax dude, I think he meant to watch one movie to… I don't know, welcome her?" Ray was extremely confused about the situation at hand.

"It sucks that I didn't bring a movie with me. I thought we could use Netflix or any streaming service to be honest." said Yusuke as he wasn't an avid collector of DVDs as like some other people were.

"Neither did I." said Sora as he turned to everyone else, "Did you guys bring a movie to watch?" asked Sora as Ray and Bastion shook their heads.

"Nope." answered Ray.

"I am afraid not, I didn't have enough time to pick up a DVD." explained Bastion as Aster stayed silent as he pulled out a DVD with a smirk on his face.

"Unlike you guys, I brought one of my personal favourite movies of all time." said Aster as he showed one of his favourite movies of all time and it was… Max Keeble's Big Move.

"Max Keeble?" asked Yusuke with a confused tone in his voice. The rest were as confused as him by that choice. It was essentially a boy by the name of Max Keeble who was getting bullied by the entire school and one day, he realizes that him and his entire family is going to move away so he essentially goes to make sure to get his getback towards everyone, basically ruining his life until he realizes at the end that he wasn't actually going to move away.

"Yup, a personal favourite of mine. I watch it at least once a year." said Aster as they looked at him.

"Of all of the movies, you picked Max Keeble's Big Move?" asked Bastion with a confused tone.

"Of course. Do you have a problem with that?" asked Aster, "I personally think it is a very good movie." he said with a smile on his face.

"I mean it is okay," said Ray to which Aster felt like someone spat on his mother's grave, "But if you told me that if I would pick any movie for movie night, I wouldn't pick Max Keeble's Big Move! That wouldn't even be in the Top 10 000 movies that I would have picked! Ever." said Ray as Aster shrugged it off.

"It would have been in my Top 25." said Aster as he looked at the DVD with a warm expression in his eyes.

"No… It shouldn't even be close to that number." said Ray with an almost disgusted look in his eyes, "You need to watch more movies, which we could have been doing, if you didn't bring Max Keeble's Big Move!"

"Calm down, it is not like I brought something illegal or horrible…" Aster didn't know what was the fuss of one of his favourite movies.

"It is the Nickelback of Live Action Disney Movies." said Sora as the Destiny Hero narrowed his eyes at once he said that.

"As in an underrated classic." said Aster with a nearly dangerous tone in his voice.

"No, more like it sucks." said Sora as Aster then stopped.

"Aster?" asked Bastion as they then turned to him once he stopped.

"Okay. That's it." Aster placed the DVD around his arm and body, "I can take you disrespecting one of my favourite movies, but what I am not letting you disrespect is Nickelback."

"Why? I am being correct." said Sora with a look that Aster wanted to punch.

"No, the hell you are not being correct." said Aster as they continued to walk, with Ray, Yusuke and Bastion staying quiet the entire time as they listened to the conversation. "You think you are cool, huh little kid? You think with that opinion you would be loved? You think you are going to sit with the cool kids at the lunch table? Huh?"

"What? Don't be ridiculous, everyone hates Nickelback." stated Sora which made Aster grew several tic marks on his forehead.

"I like Nickelback." commented Bastion, but he was ignored. Again.

"You are being factually incorrect! If even one person likes Nickelback, by proxy, not everyone hates that band, so your statement was incorrect!" argued Aster as Sora wasn't pushed back.

"Dude, come on, that is some of the most overproduced ear garbage." said Sora to which made Aster finally snap.

"Oh really?" Aster bent down to look down at him with an almost threatening look in his eyes, "You know who disagrees with that? FACTS! 50 million copies sold worldwide, 11th best selling musical of all time, Billboard's most successful Rock group over the past few decades, 6 Grammy Nominations, 12 Juno Awards," Aster turned to others that were walking with them, "THOSE COUNT! 6 Billboard music awards, 2 American Music Awards and a people's choice awards, CANADIAN, and a portridge from a fucking pear tree."

Everyone blinked at how much information Aster managed to unload in rapid fire without even looking it up, to the point that even Bastion had to check the Wiki for that. It is clear that Aster has true love for the things he has enjoyed and will defend them until he no longer can walk, which was an admirable feat.

"Was he telling the truth?" asked Yusuke as he and Ray looked at Bastion to see if he was being factual.

"He is, holy." said Bastion as he blinked.

Sora gulped as he took a step backwards, "I- I am sorry, I thought we were having fu-"

"You know, you are a bit of a jerk. I mean, if you dislike something that I like, then that is perfectly fine, you do you. But go on to say shit like that? Disrespecting someone's thoughts and opinions, even what movie I wanted to bring? Disrespectful little shit." said Aster as he shook his head as he began walking towards the Slifer Red Dorms.

"...I can't argue with that." said Sora as he began walking towards them.

"What… what just happened?" asked Ray as no one could answer that.

"I have no idea." said Yusuke as they followed Sora and Aster.

Sora then opened the door as they reached the Slifer Red dorm, "Alright, Jaden, we got here after… a bit of trouble, so who is the new transfer Student?" asked Sora as he and Aster stopped as they saw what was right in front of them.

"By the way, have you heard of the news that a certain doll escape-" began Bastion as he was stopped at what they were seeing.

Every single table that was in the Slifer Red dorm was filled to the brim of delicious looking food that only an expert chef would be able to make. Gourmet food after another, across the room as they ranged from meat that could have been cooked from France all the way to food that were from other cultures which were delicious looking. Not to mention the amount of desserts that were on the table, which made Sora drool and jump to eat all of them the best that he could.

"She made this in one night?" asked Yusuke in an astonished tone which made Chazz nod.

"Yup. The new transfer student by the name of Alice Unsworth came out of nowhere and tidied up the place. About time too," said Chazz as he took bites out of the garlic bread that she made.

"Out of nowhere?" asked Aster with a raised brow.

"Yeah!" said Jaden as he handed him some sweets to which he declined, "It was almost as if she teleported out of nowhere! Ain't that right, teach?"

"That is correct…" Yusho said as he was seen filling out several piles worth of paper work, "Due to the complexions on how she even appeared, I have to fill out every single paper regarding her stay as a student, so that means I have to fill out her name, address, home town, social security number and so much more! This is a nightmare." complained Yusho as Dennis then placed a cup of coffee near him, "Thank you."

"You're welcome! How about I bring you some sweets?" asked Dennis as Yusho smiled at his assistant.

"That would be nice." said Yusho.

"Uh huh." Aster narrowed his eyes as he saw Syrus mopping, to which even Ray noticed.

"Hey, bud? Is all good? You have been eating grapes all by yourself and looking more down than usual." asked Ray as Syrus took several grapes from a plate.

"Oh, I am peachy. I am over here eating grapes, and there is Mr. Wannabe Sargeant having a date with the new transfer student." said Syrus as they looked at him in surprise.

"That fast!? It has been a day." said Yusuke as they then turned to the new transfer student.

Alice Unsworth was a girl that was around the same age as everyone else, but a bit taller than Syrus. She had long wavy black hair that reached down to her hips. She had gray eyes. On her hair there were gray ribbons on her hair. Her outfit wasn't that of a Slifer Uniform like Celina's before the Society Of Light, but rather that of a maid's uniform with black leggings.

"Open wide." said Alice as Hassleberry opened up his mouth as she then made the spoon go into his mouth as it landed in his mouth, "What do you think?"

"You are my soulmate!" yelled Hassleberry as he was more in love than a school girl that has a crush on a cute person.

Jaden laughed while Aster showed no reaction, "He has it bad! Like down bad, dontcha guys agree?" asked Jaden with a laugh.

"Wish I met her first." Bastion answered quickly to which almost everyone turned to him.

"What."

"Nothing!" Bastion dejected as they then could hear Sora roar to the heavens.

"DEAR OLD HEAVENLY FATHERS, THANK YOU FOR BRINGING THIS ANGEL ON THIS EARTH! AMEN!" yelled Sora as he continued to munch more than Charmy Pappitson.

Everyone ignored him as Yusuke narrowed his eyes at him, "Wait… she looks familiar to me…" said Yusuke with narrowed eyes.

"That line never works, Yusuke." said Ray as Syrus nodded as he continued to munch on the grapes like there was nobody's business.

Jaden chuckled at what is currently happening so he turned to his old friend, "So, what do you think, Aster? Wanna chill with us-"

"No." said Aster as he turned around.

"Huh?" asked Jaden as mostly everyone had the same reaction to that.

"What do you mean, no?" asked Yusuke as Bastion stared at Alice.

"I mean I am not sticking around with her in the same place as me or this building. This is how horror movies start." said Aster as he then listed off everything that was fishy about this, "Are you seriously telling me that you won't be suspicious of a girl that is so nice and welcoming that she is making food that would make 5 star restaurants cry with envy appearing out of nowhere, while at the same time a doll that looks like her disappeared?"

"Oh come on, you are being paranoid." said Ray to which Aster gawked at him.

"Paranoid?! I listed off every good reason why we should get the fuck out of here!" yelled Aster to which no one made a move.

"I mean yeah, but you can't jump to conclusions." said Syrus.

Aster, upon realizing that he is basically the only sane man in the entire building, nodded, "Alright. Don't blame me if you die and lose your souls." said Aster as he began walking away.

"Oh yeah, like what are the chances of her being evil?" asked Sora as he continued to munch down on the desserts.

Tomorrow morning

"YEAH! FUCK YEAH! I AM RIGHT! CORRECT AS ALWAYS! THE ONE THAT HAS A BRAIN IN THIS WORLD! YES! HELL YES! WOOHOO! THAT IS WHAT I AM ABLE TO DO! TAKE THAT! I AM THE GOAT! THE GOAT!" While everyone were sitting in a new room, showing different signs of being shocked and sad, Aster on the other hand was popping off as one would do if they proved everyone right.

Hassleberry was on a chair crying like someone broke his heart, which was essentially what happened.

As it turns out, Alice Unsworth was originally a doll that was in the same room that they were in, being one with a soul and placed as a trophy by Dorothy as a prize she won a few years ago. Throughout the years, the doll with a soul, alike a Doll Spirit, managed to grow a soul, one out of pure rage as she continued to watch duelists come in and out, yelling, screaming, and hurting each other over the game of Duel Monsters which then resulted in them tearing off their cards. Her anger managed for her to manifest into a body that grew to the size of a human, ready to fight back on everyone.

Jaden and co, upon realizing that Hassleberry and Alice were gone for a long time and with a loud scream of pain, they ran towards the source of that scream to find Hassleberry on a tree, which resulted in a duel between her and Jaden. Alice's deck was that of a Doll Deck, made to specifically tailor towards sending as many Doll Parts to the graveyard to power up her Doll Chimera by 400 for every Doll Part in the graveyard and if so her monster is destroyed, she has her Eshila the Lovely Bisque Doll as a backup plan.

Jaden, even with the duel starting out in his favor, struggled hard against her Doll Chimera as it destroyed most of his field with complete ease. However, in his next turn he was able to turn it around. With a combination of using Thunder Giant's effect, the attack effect from Neo Bubbleman combined with Bubble Blaster, using Battle x 2 with Thunder Giant, Jaden was able to get around her Doll Chimera and even was able to attack directly with Rallis the Star Bird. The next turn, even though Alice almost managed to beat him with Eshila, Jaden pulled through by banishing his Thunder Giant from his graveyard to special summon his Winged Kuriboh LV6 on the turn before, destroying the monster upon trying to battle with it.

After the duel, Alice saw the courageous spirit inside of Jaden, a boy filled with love and happiness that no one could compare to, smiled as she realizes that there still are people that treasure and love their cards. She smiled as she returned back into her original self, back as a trophy of which Dorothy treasured.

"Okay, I think we get it… you were correct and we were wrong." said Chazz as he never wanted to punch a man before.

"Screw that! You are never hearing the end of me! WHO WAS RIGHT?!" yelled Aster with a grin on his face.

They sighed, "You were."

"AND WHAT WAS THE CORRECT CHOICE?!" Aster grinned ear to ear watching them get more and more frustrated with him.

"To walk away."

"THAT'S RIGHT! WOOOHOOO!" Aster continued to pop off as some looked on towards Hassleberry, still crying like crazy.

"I fell in love with a doll!" Hassleberry cried as Bastion walked over and patted him on the back.

"If there is any consultation, I fell in love with a tiger." said Bastion, trying his best to cheer him up.

"Having a crush on Atsushi Nakajima from Bungo Stray Dogs doesn't mean that you fell in love with a tiger," said Ray as he peered over his shoulder.

"Actually…" said Jaden as he looked at Sora and Ray, who were the only ones that weren't knowledgeable about the previous year, "There was this lady, an Amazonian Lady that transformed into a tiger after she lost to him."

The two blinked, "Huh… Way to go, Lucy Montogomery. You fell in love with a chick that transforms into a tiger." said Sora as Ray turned to his friend.

"Really? I think he is more like Ryunousuke Akutagawa." said Ray as in his opinion, he looked more like Akutagawa than Lucy.

"Huh… How about both of them? I think both suit Bastion." said Sora as Bastion didn't know about this.

At one hand, he was glad that they were actually acknowledging that he was actually there and that his input was important to them.

On the other hand, they are basically comparing him to the two characters from Bungo Stray Dogs that basically fell in love with someone that transforms into a weretiger.

It was weird being Bastion right now.

Next Week

"Guys! Help me out here!" yelled Jaden as he was being chased by the next duelist of the week that he had to duel for… reasons by the name of Bob Banter, who was a wannabe quiz show host.

"NO, PLEASE! TEACH ME YOUR WAYS OL' LOVE GURU!" yelled Bob as he continued to run towards Jaden with everyone else watching in amusement.

"Love Guru?! I am a duelist, not a lover!" yelled Jaden as he ran around in circles with Bob following the poor guy with no sign of stopping.

"And despite that, you are still able to give out the best advice! Please let me be your acquaintance!" begged Bob as Jaden gulped while running away.

"Acquaintance!? This time I know what that word means and no! I can barely do my own homework correctly!" yelled Jaden to which Bob didn't seem to even care.

"I will help you!"

"Well I need help to get away from here! GUYS! HELP!" yelled Jaden, as the guys? They were sitting, acting as the peanut gallery, watching this in amusement.

"Sh… Should we help him?" asked Bastion as Chazz shook his head.

"No, this is way more entertaining." said Chazz as Aster, even though being one of Jaden's closest friends, nodded with him.

"Amen to that brother." both Chazz and Aster fist bumped each other after doing that.

The rest sweatdropped seeing Jaden running away, not thinking about using one of the doors to run outside of the Duel Academy Building.

Who was Bob Banter anyway?

Well he was a guy that had a crush on Alexis, which made Celina question how many guys are in love with her, though he sent an issue online, asking for advice for lonely guys and how he could approach her. Jaden, upon thinking that the guy was saying something about a duel, gave him advice to believe in himself and that he should shoot his shot, which wasn't bad at all if they were honest.

The next day, when they were just walking down near a river in Academy Island as Aster was in his boat, preparing for a duel that he was going to participate in two weeks, they ran into Bob Banter, who was up in a tree spying on Alexis with binoculars, which fortunately for Bob they didn't know, but once Skye heard noises that were coming outside, she notified her friends to basically blackmail them into joining the Society Of Light, with Bob, trying to impress Alexis, coming to ask Jaden for a duel.

Bob plays a deck that was all about his favourite thing in the world, Quizzes! Slifer Questions were actions that Jaden had an easy time beating them, Ra Questions were all about numbers or tasks such as tongue twisters or counting the number of letters in a card's description (Which Jaden was thankful he drew Wildheart with that effect.) and Obelisk Questions being that of the only variety in which he was unable to answer any of them, with him throwing with the last one. Then, after all was set and done, with a combo of Flame Wingman and Secret Mission, he was able to beat Bob on his own turn.

Then after the duel concluded, Jaden said the exact same advice he gave towards Bob online which then made Bob realize that the one that gave him that advice was standing right in front of him. Which was this scene right now.

The boys, most of them, were eating this scene with chips and drinks, personally enjoying him running around like a lunatic.

The girls, Alexis, Skye and Celina, were watching this in amusement.

Celina then asked, "Hey, Alexis."

She turned to her friend, "Yeah?"

"Can I ask you something?" asked Celina to which Alexis nodded at that.

"Sure, go ahead." said Alexis as even Skye turned to Celina to know what her question was.

"Okay… Why are almost every single man that we have ever met fall in love with you? Like almost every single one!" Celina said as it shocked the two, "Look, you are pretty and I won't lie about that fact, but my god, the amount of people crushing on your is insane!" yelled Celina as Skye had to admit, even before being in Duel Academy, the amount of people crushing on her, both guys and girls, was astronomical.

"There is this wannabe Steve Harvey, Yusuke, don't act like you are surprised, that tennis guy from last year, Chazz, the french gambler," Skye groaned hearing about that guy as she knew exactly who it was, "Pretty sure some of the guys there and more! I think the only guys that haven't had any feelings for you, yet, are Aster and maybe Zane… no, probably Zane."

Alexis sighed at that which Skye came in, "She is kind of right. It is really weird."

"Yeah, I know, I know. I have no idea to be frank," Alexis began to rub her temples, "It has to be something genetic because… It has to be. Both of my parents have been told that they are beautiful several times by other people and my brother? Atticus? If you think my situation is bad, do not meet my brother."

"Oh gosh do not remind me," Skye groaned hearing that, remembering her brother.

Celina raised an eyebrow, "How…" The curiosity got the cat, "How bad was it?"

"Everyone had a crush on him that was his age, and I mean everyone. The guys, the girls, people from different countries, pretty sure some that were a bit older than him and even more! It is insane! No wonder he was extremely flirtatious, everyone fawned over him!" said Alexis as he was basically if Finral Roulacase had the ability to pull.

"Oh dear…"

"Yup. I think the only person that didn't catch any feelings, other than Skye, is Declan." said Alexis as she remembered him saying that he was never really interested in the idea of a relationship, which she could respect that.

"I see… well, you learn something new everyday." said Celina as they then continued to watch Jaden running away from Bob Banter, as the former pleaded for help which no one helped him in it.

The Next Week

"I thought that dueling 3 Ra Yellows would have been a challenge and yet, all of them were mere pushovers." said Alexis as she then looks at her three opponents that she was dueling at the same time with the rest of the Society Of Light, with the exception of Sartorius, watched with an interested look on their faces on how she was able to get around this situation.

She was dueling at Dimitri Kagurazaka, a Copycat duelist that stole the King of Games' deck, as he was using a new deck by the name of Gishki, which was a Ritual Styled deck alike of hers however with a weaker power, America Uchimura, who was playing a Flip Styled Deck by the name of Subterror, and Ishiki Eirishi, who was playing a Spell Counter deck by the name of Endymion.

Alexis Rhodes: 1300 lp

Hand: 3 cards

Field: Cyber Prima, 2 Set cards

Dimitri Kagurazaka: 1200 lp

Hand: 0 cards

Field: Gishki Levianima, no Trap or Spell cards

America Uchimura: 450 lp

Hand: 1 card

Field: Subterror Behemoth Vultellunic, No set cards

Ishiki Eirishi: 500 lp

Hand: 0 cards

Field: Breaker The Magical Warrior, no set cards

Turn Count: 13.

"O-Oh yeah, how can you say that when you only have one monster on your field?" asked Ishiki with a nervous tone as she was easily been able to clear out their boards whenever her turn came, even if she had a disadvantage at her feet.

"Yeah! Your monster ain't anything, but for show!" yelled America even though his Hidden City Field Spell and Traps, alongside Dimitri and Ishiki's Spell and Traps, were easily cleared as soon as Cyber Prima was Tribute Summoned a minute before.

"That may be the case, though, I wouldn't exactly agree in which what is going to happen next." Alexis then took a card from her hand, "I will play my Ritual Spell card, Sprite's Blessing!" a light circle appeared in which it had the head of Saffira, the Queen of Dragons as an image, "With this, I am allowed to RItual Summon any Light Ritual monster that I desire by simply tributing monsters that have the same or higher number of levels! I tribute my Level 6 Cyber Prima in order to Ritual Summon!"

Cyber Prima then turned into light particles that went towards the circle, burning up at 6 out of the 12 heads that were on display to which Alexis began to chant, "From the calm nature of the Moon and the burning feeling of the Sun, a warrior that shakes mountains with a single swing is formed! I Ritual Summon! Fight along me, Cyber Angel Susanoo!" from the circle came out a warrior that was known as the only male warrior.

The warrior wore a samurai styled armour that covered his entire body, but not his face. He had long black hair that was to his shoulders, imperial mustache and a beard under his chin. He also wore metal shoes to cover himself from battles. His skin was purple as with wings that were bigger than he was. He wore a sword that was powerful enough to even defeat gods as his sister in one hand and on the other was a sword that looked the same as the other, but it was a purple lightning shaped like one.

(Cyber Angel Susanoo: Ritual - Level 6 - Light Warrior - Attack: 2800. Defense: 1000.)

"Dah!" the boys screamed in terror upon seeing the monster up front.

"Huh… Forgot she even had that monster in her arsenal." Celina blinked as Skye nodded to that as even though it wasn't a bad monster in the slightest, the monster wasn't able to be used properly.

"Cyber Angel Susanoo's effect activates! Once Ritual Summoned, I am allowed to add 1 Cyber Angel Ritual Monster or Spell card from my deck to my hand, and the monster I choose is my Cyber Angel Benten!" a card popped out of Alexis' deck to which she took it without an issue.

America then shook his head, "Even if you try to strike us down, all you will do is beat one of us."

"That is right, so we can have a turn to beat you!" yelled Ishiki to which Alexis smirked at.

"Is that so? Well, I forgot to mention Susanoo's effect, didn't I? Susanoo's other effect is that he can attack every single monster on the field with the only price being that of you take half of the damage that you would have taken, but by doing the math, only one of you will be able to survive this attack!" yelled Alexis as that made everyone gulp hearing that.

"Are you serious?!" yelled Dimitri in shock as he was the only one that was about to survive the next upcoming attack.

"Dead Serious! Attack, Susanoo! With Susanoo Kagutsuuchi!" yelled Alexis as then Susanoo roared with might that only a God could compete with as his massive blade burst with black lames that shook the world as he then leaped forward as quickly as a warrior could move as he used his blade to vertically slice down Gishki Zielgigas, which in return caused a massive explosion. From that, a sword was then thrown straight towards Breaker the Magical Knight piercing through his armour and then at a blink of an eye, Susanoo grabbed his sword and threw it at Subterror Behemoth Vultellunic, piercing through the head like it was a fruit.

Susanoo then reappeared on Alexis' field to sheathe his blade as two explosions happened at the same time, making America and Ishiki both fly away and hitting the ground.

Alexis: 1300 lp

Dimitri: 1200 - 1150 lp

America: 450 - 0 lp

Ishiki: 500 - 0 lp

"AMERICA! ISHIKI!" yelled Dimitri in worry as he turned to his fellow Ra Yellows that were defeated right at that moment.

"That was quicker than I expected." admitted Reggie as he leaned on a wall, "They are even weaker than I expected."

"Well that is to be expected," said Ryuga as he pushed up his glasses, "They were out of a weaker batch of duelists. Even those compared to the Slifer Reds, they are the most forgettable lots. Their dueling styles aren't that memorable in the slightest, even if you don't count the Society Of Light."

Raizou and Taiyou nodded with grins on their faces as they were even able to beat several duelists from Ra Yellow without even losing a single life point worth of damage with only a couple of monsters on their fields. Even some guy by the name of Yamanaka, who used a burn strategy with Rough Exploder and Fool Clown.

Dimitri gritted his teeth, "Oh yeah?! Well, come at me! I still have a fight left in me! Finish your turn and your days are outnumbered!" yelled Dimitri as despite having no cards left in his hand, he was confident that the next draw in the next turn will be worth of the entire duel, even destroying the two set cards on her field.

Alexis' look didn't change in the slightest, "Really? Well here is a bit of trivia for you, there won't be a next turn!" yelled Alexis as she silently thought about her next move as one of her set cards was Urgent Ritual Art, a good Ritual Spell card that she could use after this one, though that didn't matter to her right now even if she has Cyber Angel Benten in her hand, "I play my Trap card, Spiritual Light Art - Hijiri!"

Dimitri gasped as he took a step backwards. "Oh crap!"

"I am allowed to tribute 1 Light monster on my field and then target 1 monster that is currently banished." On Alexis' field, Cyber Angel Susanoo was then turned into data as she then took card from her pocket that was her banished zone, "Then… I am allowed to special summon the monster onto my field if you don't send a Trap card from your hand to your graveyard, however judging by how many cards you have left… I can say that I can summon her without worry. Come out! Guardian Angel Joan!"

Alexis slammed the card onto her duel disk as then, a flash of light emerged with a new monster looking down at her opponent. It was like what the name suggested, it was an beautiful angel, waiting to protect her child. She had a ring above her head, as she had short brown hair. At her back were angel wings. She wore a Greek-Style white coloured dress with gauntlets around her arms and ribbons around her, as the sides of her body were encased with gold.

(Guardian Angel Joan: Level 7 - Light Fairy - Attack: 2800. Defense: 2000.)

"DAH!" yelled Dimitri yelled in shock as he took several steps backwards, knowing what was about to happen. No! This… this can't be happening!"

"Oh, it is." said Alexis with a grin on her face, "Even though you are nothing for the Light, out of these shmucks, you gave me the most trouble." Alexis threw her hand out as Skye knew what was about to happen and happily grinned to see the end of this duel, "Battle! Guardian Angel Joan attacks you directly! Expurgatio Lucis!"

Guardian Angel Joan ellegently placed her hands together in an almost harmonic way, made to allure those of an unwatched eye of her movements and not that of a saint, pure yellow glow coming out of her hands as she then placed her two hands together alike of a certain boy with a tail, pulled her hands towards her waist as the beam began to grow in size to a size of a basketball as she then yelled in might as she then moved her hands forward to release a powerful beam made out of light sending Dimitri to a wall, nearly cracking his spine and the wall behind him.

Alexis: 1300 lp

Dimitri: 1150 - 0 lp

America: 0 lp

Ishiki: 0 lp

ALEXIS RHODES: WINNER!

"N-No," Dimitri then fell to the floor upon remembering what just happened, "We… we lost."

"Congratulations on finding that out." Alexis sighed as her duel disk returned to the original shape as Guardian Angel Joan disappeared. "Well… that was boring. I thought dueling most of the Ra Yellows would have been a challenge, and yet they fell like flies. I think he was the only one that gave me any trouble." Alexis pointed at the fallen Dimitri.

"Well, you can not blame them. They aren't as strong as us since they haven't seen the Light." said Skye as she remembered dueling a couple of them, with all of them losing once she summoned her Trickstar Violet Sylph on the field.

"That is good to know, but question." Celina walked up to the rest of the members of the Obelisk Whites, "Couldn't you guys at least have given me one duelist to duel? You guys stole the spotlight! Even Reggie got a duel before me!"

"What was that diss for?!" Reginald was shocked on why he was even brought to the conversation as the rest watched in interest.

"Because nonya." Celina said.

"Nonya?" Reggie raised an eyebrow at that.

"Nonya business."

"You are a prick." Reggie grumbled at the woman to which she didn't even react to in any way other than.

"Right back at you." Celina then looked at her friends, "How many Ra Yellows are even left to duel? Like 4?" asked Celina as she turned to everyone as they did the calculations in their head.

"If you count Hassleberry, Truesdale, Shadows and… I forgot his last name, then yes, those are the only ones left," Ryuga pointed out as Celina nodded.

"Thank you," Ryuga nodded in a way of saying "Don't mention it." as Celina then turned towards her friends, "Dibs on the first Ra Yellow that comes through the door. I don't care who it is, at least give me someone to duel with. Haven't had one in a while." said Celina as she was silently wondering why she didn't have a duel in a while… the same for last year actually.

"Sure, I am not stopping you. We already have beaten the Obelisk Blues into submission and now we have it as our new base." said Skye as she admired the new renovation as they managed to change one of the statues of Obelisk into that of Sartorius.

"Except for Sorano, Sora and Yusuke." replied Alexis as then she blinked, "Wait a minute… where are those three anyway? This is their place, wasn't it?" asked Alexis as she turned to one of the boys.

"We searched everywhere for one of them, but no dice!" yelled Raizou as it took him days to try and find one of them.

"I can vouch for him." said Taiyou.

Celina groaned, "Great. Well at least we do not have to worry about them trying to stop us, am I right?" asked Celina as they nodded to that. Even though their strength wasn't that of theirs, they were a bit on ice when they thought about dueling one of the Emperors of Duel Academy, even if he hasn't dueled in a while compared to the others.

Then, they heard the sounds of people getting up as Skye smiled at that, "And I think our new guests are finally waking up, huh?" Skye then turned to three duelists that were defeated in one duel, "Right? You guys?"

While they were slammed to the ground several minutes ago, they stood up like nothing personal or harmful happened to them as they were all silent as zombies, "Yeah… we are up…" Dimitri began as his eyes were that of a new star, blank with life, as he then began grinning, "We were foolish to challenge you to a duel to reclaim Ra Yellow's honour!"

"Now, we see it." America began as his grin was that of a beast.

"The true purpose of our new existence." continued Ishiki as they then all stared up into the roof with an insane look in their eyes.

"I See it!"

"WE SEE IT!"

"WE ALL SEE IT!"

"THE LIGHT!" they roared to the heavens. Roaring their admiration for the being known as The Light.

At The Ra Yellow Dorms

"What are you three saying!?" yelled Bastion Misawa as he saw the only people that were left of that of Ra Yellow leaving the dorm. When the Obelisk Whites emerged, Ray Shadows, the only other Ra Yellow, moved in next to the Slifer Red dorm. "You can not leave this place! You fellows are the only ones left that is of Ra! I can't be the only one left!"

"Looks like you are buddy, we tried our best, but nothing worked out." said Dimitri as he packed his luggage as he grabbed onto it.

"Yeah, from all of the beatings that we took, it is best that we just leave this dorm behind and join the Society Of Light." said America with a mix of sorrow and happiness in his eyes.

"But that is not the solution! We can simply grow as a community! Grow together as a team, communicate with each other so that we can figure out our weaknesses! That is what the dorm is all about, is it not?!" begged Bastion as Ishiki frowned hearing that.

"We tried and look where it resulted. It is best for us to just leave." said Ishiki as placed his bag around his shoulders.

"No offense dude, but it won't work in a million years, why don't you ask your friends to do that? They might listen to you." Bastion practically got gut punched by the words from Dimitri.

"S-Still… this is no way to fix the problem like this! What about our Headmaster Satyr?! Won't he be upset about this!? Remember when Ray, Hassleberry and Syrus didn't show up in the dorms!? What do you think would happen next?! Do you want to crush his dreams?!" yelled Bastion as he tried his best to keep from going away.

"Bah. Leave him. He will understand." said America as Bastion gritted his teeth.

"Leave him!?" yelled Bastion in fury.

"Yeah, he is a bit boring compared to the rest, he even said it himself once. He will understand." said America as Ishiki turned to him.

"Look on the bright side, Bastion, you have the entire dorm to yourself." said Ishiki, trying his best to cheer him up. "You can have parties here or even cover the entire dorm with one of your equations."

"But that doesn't matter to me if you will leave." said Bastion as Dimitri looked at him.

"Who said that we were leaving completely? We will ask Sartorius if he wants you to join us and then we can hang out." Bastion widened his eyes before gritting his teeth in fury.

"Spare the charity, gentlemen! I will throw that suggestion in the trash where it belongs!" yelled Bastion as they sighed at his reaction.

"Well, the door is still open for you to use. No one is going to stop you." said America as he, Dimitri and Ishiki walked out of the door.

"I don't need it! I am the best duelist in this dorm!" said Bastion with a confident tone in his voice as Dimitri mumbled.

"More like the only one."

Which hurt more than anything he could have heard in his life at the current moment.

Where they right?

No… no, that was not true. He will prove them wrong!

He will ask his friends if they disagree with that!

Surely…

…right?

INTRO!

(A/N: Play chAngE by miwa.)

Change

We first cut into a look into Celina as she said those words.

I won't be bent and I won't be dragged along

We then cut towards Elemental HERO Neos flying in the air of Duel Academy as the other Heroes flew with him as the Leader had a determined look on his face with the Neo-Spacians looking at him with narrowed eyes.

I want to stay honest to how I feel now

As then, right behind him, the Destiny HEROes and Vision HEROes flew beside him as on the front was The Grand Jupiter, ready to fight for freedom as Honest flew right beside them.

Change

We cut back to Celina saying those words.

No matter how many times I'm reborn

We then see on the other side, the Lunalight monsters flying to the same direction as the Heroes with Leo, Sabre Cat, Panther, Tiger and Sword Dancers right at the front with a determined look on their faces.

I will embrace my sadness

Then beside the Lunalight monsters, three sets of Dragons flew right beside those monsters as they revealed themselves to be that of Dark Rebellion XYZ Dragon, Clear Wing Synchro Dragon and Starving Venom Fusion Dragon as they flew straight towards their mission.

As I run

When the two forces collided, it caused a massive explosion in the back of Duel Academy that the screen then showed the words, "Yugioh GX: Rewrite!"

I was sad when you betrayed me

We then appear to show 4 people in the room of a circle the first being Sartorius Kumar with a sadistic grin on his face as we then see Aster Phoenix with a determined look on his face.

But you couldn't catch me, I'm right here

Then we see Celina Boyle looking at the sky with both of a lost and content look on her face as she looked at it like it was The Light.

It's not enough and there's no end to it

Try to distort me even more

Then we see Sora Perse and Ray Shadows facing each other with unusual serious expressions on their faces.

(Infest) This is such a crazy world

We then see Skye Zaizen looking at the screen with a sad look on her face as we see Alexis Rhodes, in her new modified outfit, looking at the statue that resembled that of The Light Of Destruction.

Sometimes it makes me lose sight of who I am

Zane Truesdale, Hell Kaiser sat on a throne against the duelists he defeated as Nightshroud circled around the man's body with a terrifying look on his face.

Do you want to leave the traditional ways?

Then we cut to Bastion Misawa looking at his desk with a sad look on his face as he had his new deck spread out as he tried to think of the best way of winning the duel.

Just don't make that decision for me

We then see both Jaden and Celina raise their heads at the same time with a split screen showing Jaden's right side and Celina's left side as it then switched sides a second later as then we see Jaden reaching out to a void as from the void tried to come out a hand in worry.

I'm going down my own path

We then see Chazz Princeton, Syrus Truesdale, Yusuke Fujiwara, Vellian Crowler, Bonaparte, Yusho Sakaki in a group as they stared into the upcoming battles.

Just standing around here, waiting

Then we see Tyranno Hassleberry looking at the screen as then his eyes then appear to be that of a dinosaur.

Never try to start anything

We then cut to see West Academy with Chancellor Marik standing there with a happy smile as Jim Crocodile Cook stood at the front while David Rabb, Reggie Mackenzie, Leo and Luna stood out with hyped looks on their faces.

Change

Then several duel disks were then activated.

I won't be bent and I won't be dragged along

We first see Revendread Slayer battling against Clear Wing Synchro Dragon and Dark Rebellion XYZ Dragon as he swung his bones around the entire arena as his eyes then glew red as he transformed into that of Revendread Executor as Starving Venom Fusion Dragon flew at him.

I want to stay honest to how I feel now

Then we see Horus The Black Flame Dragon LV8 bursting fire from its mouth as Annihilator Archfiend blocked it by raising its arm as on the other side Frightfur Daredevil stopped an attack with his trident against Ultimate Conductor Tyranno.

I won't let you have your way

Then we cut to Arcana Force The Just, The Chariot and The Strength using all of their might as they blocked attack from several Dinosaurs coming towards them at high speeds.

Change

Now, Fossil Dragon Skullgios then began to run at Super Conductor Tyranno at full force as several smaller monsters were in a war against each other.

No matter how many times I'm reborn

Cyber End Dragon shot a massive beam straight towards Cyber Ogre 2 as the monster returned the power at full force.

I will embrace my sadness

We then cut towards Neos battling against Dark Rebellion XYZ Dragon with the other Heroes battling against the other Lunalights, with Flame Wingman trying to take out Starving Venom Fusion Dragon with Sunrise shooting a blast straight towards Clear Wing Synchro Dragon.

As I run

We then cut to Jaden and Celina as they were dueling as for a moment, Celina screamed out something.

Never again will I

Then everything else became background noise as then…

Return to your side

The two reached out their hands together, trying to end this battle.

I'm going to do things the way I want to

Jaden then looked at her for a moment as Celina then smiled.

I WANNA CHANGE

Then the battle continued to commence until one of them fell to their knees tired as the screen then became black.

(A/N: End Theme.)

"Guys! Guys!" Bastion ran all the way towards the Slifer Red Dorm's minimansion as he successfully managed to get to there in a manner of minutes. He placed an arm on the door to take a breath, not used to running that fast and with that distance, silently thinking about going to the gym. Probably to impress a certain tiger lady in the future if that was possible to meet once more.

Once he managed to take a breather, he opened the door, "Guys! I have a question!" yelled Bastion as he opened the door to see that pretty much no one was looking at him once he opened the door.

Something that he unfortunately had to get used to.

Which was unsettling as he remembered something that a former Ra Yellow said a few minutes ago.

He shook that feeling, "Guys!"

No one reacted as they were busy with their own stuff.

Ray and Chazz were watching Bungo Stray Dogs Season 3 in which Fukuzawa and Mori fought for their survival, Hassleberry and Syrus had their regular scream offs that usually last for 20 minutes if someone doesn't intervene, Yusuke and Sorano were bowling in another room, Sora was chugging pop candy like it was cocaine and Jaden and Aster were play testing with new strategies near a table.

Jaden currently had no monsters on his field nor Spells or Traps, with his graveyard being filled with his new Neos monsters. What really sucked was that Aster managed to counter Winged Kuriboh LV6's effect with ease as the Pro Duelist has Vision Hero Trinity on the field, alongside his Destiny Hero Dasher. He had a few cards in hand, but no Traps or Spells.

Jaden drew the top card of his deck and smirked, "Alright! Since I have no other cards in my hand, I am allowed to Special Summon Elemental Hero Bubbleman in defense mode." Jaden placed the card as Aster groaned seeing that monster on his field, "And with him chilling alone, I am allowed to draw 2 cards from my deck."

"Okay, wait. Sorry to interrupt you for a moment, I just need to ask something." Aster said as he pinched the bridge of his nose once he saw the combo.

"What is it, Aster?" Jaden turned to his old friend.

"It is a simple question… how do you do it?" Aster asked a question that pretty much everyone had in their minds for the past few months.

Jaden tilted his head "Huh? Dunno what you mean by that."

"I mean how are you consistently able to get those cards into your hand once you draw them?" Aster began to voice everyone's opinion at his friend, as the boy looked at him in surprise. "It is insane since I do not think it is possible for you to not draw into them to save your butt."

"I think you are over exaggerating it." Jaden didn't feel insulted by that, as he thought he wasn't being all that serious about it .

"No, I am not." Aster began to think about some of his deck choices and monster line up, "Somehow, you are either been able to draw into Bubbleman, who you can freely draw 2 cards by just summoning him alone, Stratos, which is basically Reinforcements Of The Army on Summon, Blazeman, who you can fetch a Polymerization without worry, Pot of Greed, which is unexplainable, or god forbid, A Hero Lives, which makes you do all of that if you do not control a card." Aster took a deep breath as he looked at his friend "You have luck that would make gamblers kill people for an ounce of that."

He is pretty sure that he makes Joey "Summon Time Machine Go!" Wheeler look like a random Joe who has decent luck at best.

Jaden shrugged his shoulders at that as he looked into his hand and saw a good combo "Eh, it is not that bad. I mean you can't really say that with some of your monsters."

Aster blinked "Wha- That is not true."

"Really? Cause, I am pretty sure that Diamond Dude's effect only targets Normal Spells, and you play a decent amount of Quick-Play, Continuous and Field Spells, not to mention the monsters and Traps, it is actually hard for you to activate the effect," Jaden pointed out every duel up until now that Aster had really good luck with his Diamond Dude, "so I really don't see why you aren't seeing how you are lucky with Diamond Dude."

"That's not… I… huh." Aster then realized that outside of having a similar deck, the two duelists had luck that would make several gamblers look like sane people in comparison.

"Did he just make a good point?" Ray turned to the two with Chazz raising his eye brows.

"I think he did." Chazz commented.

"GUYS!" yelled Bastion as they turned to Bastion as he yelled at them. Yusuke and Sorano couldn't hear them, they were too busy with bowling.

"Oh, sup, didn't see you there." said Syrus as he waved to him.

"I was standing outside for five minut-" Bastion tried his best to lower his tone of his voice, "I tried to tell you, but you didn't hear me."

"Sorry, Private." apologized Hassleberry as he tried to cheer his friend up.

Bastion mumbled from his teeth, "It is fine…"

"What is up with you? You sound agitated." said Sora as he took off the wrapper of the pop rocks.

"It is nothing, it is just…" Bastion took a deep breath as he looked at everyone in the room, "Am I a good duelist?"

That one sentence came out left field as they weren't expecting that question. Is he a good duelist? That was a sentence that was… not at all what they were expecting as while they all agreed that he was a good duelist, why would he ask a question like that to them if he knew that already? Was he insecure like Syrus? Or was it something else.

"Are you kidding? You are a great duelist, man!" said Jaden as Chazz nodded as he remembered losing to him. Granted, he did use one of the weakest decks he has ever used in his life, but it wasn't something to sneeze at.

"Better than the twerp at least." said Chazz as he showed the middle finger right towards Syrus, who gave one in return to the Ojama duelist.

"Then… why… why didn't the Society Of Light ever tried to duel me?!" asked Bastion which took them by the surprise when hearing that.

"Why would you ever want those bleached uniform wearing freaks, sorry Sarge, to go after you and duel ya?" asked Hassleberry as he placed his arm on Syrus' head, to which the short Ra Yellow growled at.

"Because other than you three," Bastion pointed at Ray, then to Hassleberry and then to Syrus, "I am the only one that is at the Ra Yellow dorm! Professor Sartyr practically has no other students in his own dorm and I am here… doing nothing! So am I a good duelist or not?! I am practically the strongest duelist from Ra Yellow with my intelligence being second to none! So why?!"

"I think it is a strategy." said Sora as they looked at him placing pop candy on his tongue as they heard them pop, "You know to mess with you."

"Gotta agree. I guess they have decided to take a new approach and that is by getting to the weakest first so that they could scare of the ones that are close to their strength, and then once the strongest is the only one left, either they want to get challenged to prove that they are the strongest, or they would be too distracted by that and lose." Aster leaned on a chair as he glanced at him, "Still though, you aren't a bad duelist. Even if I haven't seen you duel… like at all."

Bastion took a step backwards at hearing that as Ray scratched his chin, "Yeah, I am not dunking on your skills, but… you kinda… didn't duel a lot."

"Oh come on, you can't say that to him, he is a good duelist! One of the best I have ever seen! Like I told you, he defeated that Shadow Rider last year!" said Jaden as then he tried to remember the name of the duelist that he managed to beat last year, even if it was a close match at the end.

"You slacker! Her name was… shit… uh…" Chazz tried to remember the name of the person he beat, "Lania?"

"It is Tania!" yelled Bastion as he felt worse and worse as more of this conversation went on and went on.

"Oh yeah!" said Syrus as Bastion's shoulders dropped. And so did his head.

"What we are trying to say is that, you aren't a bad duelist in the slightest! You are a great duelist, buddy! Nothing can change that!" said Jaden as he then noticed Bastion's posture.

"Right… thank you." said Bastion as they frowned seeing him like this.

"Hey… is everything alright? You seem down." said Jaden as Bastion shook his head.

"No, everything is alright. Thank you for the kind words, gentlemen, I will be off now," Bastion turned around as he then walked away from the Slifer Red dorm, as Aster closes his mouth, wondering if he said something that might have saddened him or deepened the punch at what he was feeling. The same could be said for Ray as he saw how sadly he walked away.

Him and Sora quietly nodded to each other as they made their excuses to leave the dorm which they allowed it so that they could see what was happening with him.

Meanwhile with Sartorius

In the Society Of Light, in Obelisk White's Dorm, Sartorius Kumar sat on a chair near a roundtable as he spread out his tarot cards before he picked them up and started to shuffle them. At the current moment, he knew what was about to happen in the next few hours, as it was currently night. With that, he knew that someone would barge in tomorrow, ready to take down the Society Of Light alone.

"So, it seems as though a Ra Yellow by the name of Bastion Misawa wants to duel me tomorrow, how interesting. Well, the sides of fate shall be in my side as I am interested in what he represents of the tarot cards, will he be of use to the Light, or a burden?" asked himself Sartorius as he then placed the deck on a table as he then drew the top card of the deck.

What he drew interested Sartorius to no end.

"Interesting. Upside Down The Temperance? The key words that usually link with The Temperance is imbalance, excess, self-healing and re-alignment, what does that me… oh I understand," Sartorius grinned as he leaned on the chair, fully realizing what he wanted to know about Bastion and how he would be a good part of the Society Of Light. As from what he has learned, it all made sense now.

"I see. Bastion Misawa represents Temperance as he is a perfect representation of all of the key parts of The Temperance." began Sartorius as he then placed a hand under his chin, "Imbalance is that of his inner self, fighting on impulse and on the logistics of him as a person, as a duelist, as everything he could wish to accomplish. Excess could be seen in him trying his best to settle into a group, even if he doesn't get acknowledged enough for him to be confident now."

Sartorius then took out a picture of Bastion from his pocket as he stared right into his eyes, "Self-healing is a simple one that even a fool could understand. Outside, he may appear as an intelligent individual that cares for another, but inside, he is a man with a broken ego as he feels as though he isn't impressive, which in his mind, this would be healing to him. Re-alignment." Sartorius grinned, "He wants to realign the image he currently had in his mind that he had of the previous year, a way to show everyone that, despite everyone, he was still someone that was on their level."

Sartorius chuckled at that as a bright light consumed him, "oh Bastion."

He then crumbles the piece of paper.

"You will see the Light."

Sartorius promised.

At The Ra Yellow Dorm

Bastion finally reached his room and sat on his desk, silently thinking about what happened in the past few days, recalling what he heard moments ago.

"No offense dude, but it won't work in a million years, why don't you ask your friends to do that? They might listen to you."

"More like the only one."

"I didn't see you there."

"Still though, you aren't a bad duelist. Even if I haven't seen you duel… like at all."

"Yeah, I am not dunking on your skills, but… you kinda… don't duel a lot."

"Is that true… have I been slacking with my skills? Have I fallen to a level that I couldn't bring myself back to? One of a drop that even the mightiest couldn't get back up from? Were my skills becoming obsolete? Am I getting weak? No, that couldn't be the case of that happening!" Bastion thought as he looked at his desk while pulling out a drawer from his table to reveal his 6 decks.

"Sure, I may have fallen to being unable to duel for most of the year, but I was busy with school, studying and thinking about my friend… But that can't be an excuse. The rest were doing the same and yet, I didn't practise dueling as much as they did. Even Yusuke, who doesn't duel that often, was seen to get new cards for his deck, and yet here I was, doing nothing, but studying." Bastion lamented over the fact that no matter what, no matter how much he wanted to disprove them, they were correct in a sense.

Out of everyone here, he was the one that dueled the least and with that, he felt empty, almost a shell of his former past.

His previous year was a decent run, with him beating Chazz in a duel and give not only Celina a run for her money, but Alexis as well in a duel. He managed to beat several Obelisk Blues in the past, all with a good counter measure and even beat a Shadow Rider with all of his might, however, he couldn't remember one thing.

How did he lose?

When did he lose?

How did him, Alexis and Zane lose their Keys?

He didn't know.

That was not something that he cared for now, what he did care was one thing.

Bastion stood on his feet and slammed his hands on the table, "I will show them. I will show not just the Society Of Light, not just Sartorius Kumar, not just to them, but I will show everyone of my might! My intellect! I will prove that I am a force to be reckoned with! I am not someone to be forgotten with! I am not someone you can throw away."

Bastion Misawa then roared with all of his might, not caring if he was alone or not, "I am Bastion Misawa! The Genius of Ra Yellow! And I am going to be the one that takes down Society Of Light, the Obelisk White, with all of my strength and intellect, combining Brain with Brawn, all on my own! Watch me world! WATCH MY VICTORY!"

Ray and Sora looked on with intrigue as Bastion then took his Deck Box and a pen beside it, "I need to make a deck that will be the perfect counter to all of their decks! Not just one counter, but all of their strategies! The Dark Attribute is widely known as the largest number of monsters of the entire game and it will be poetic for the dark to outshine The Light."

Bastion then walked up to a wall and began to write several equations on the wall. Bastion had to think of the perfect deck for him to make.

Skye's Trickstar Deck all focuses around Extra Deck monsters by using Polymerization and to deal as much effect damage alike a minigun if you so do anything, with her having several monsters that can be special summoned and Field Spell cards, so with that proximation, it would be wise to play cards that are specifically tailored towards Anti-Fusioning and to destroy the monsters she was best known for.

Alexis' Cyber Angel Deck rarely uses any other Fusion monster other than Cyber Blader, which he has to remember to not have 3 monsters on the field, and he has to remind himself to not add any Fusion monsters due to Vrash being a nuke for those types of monsters. The Ritual Monsters could have powerful effects upon summoning, so he has to add cards like Dimensional Barrier and Ritual Sealing for Anti-Ritual Summoning.

Celina's Lunalight Deck is a bit tricky to get a hang on since it was a deck that was best known for OTK-ing (One Turn Kill) her opponents in a matter of seconds and it wasn't the best going first deck, as it does focus around Fusion Summoning and having monsters go to the graveyard, which gave him an inkling of an idea on what he wanted to do along with some Anti-Fusion Summoning Cards.

Sartorius' Arcana Force Deck is the most tricky deck to precisely know his strategy since he only saw it in action once, however he does have a good feeling on what it might be about. All of the monsters are Light Monsters, and with the new monsters coming out by the name of Ally of Justice, he might add the card known as Ally of Justice Core Destroyer, as he has to find out a way to get around the basically Coin Flipping effect that all of his monsters have, which he didn't have a counter for.

In short, he had to make a perfect deck that was perfectly made to counter all 4 of their decks while being a playable mash up of all of the combined forces together. It needs to have cards that he could use in any he wants to without making it feel like it was forced to to be made like this, which was the hardest part of the entire thing.

With him taking breaks of drinking coffee and energy drinks, Bastion continued to work on for hours, ignoring the either cold silence that was around him, or the stares he could feel from people around him.

He was laser focused on one mission.

To take down the society of Light.

And then…

After several hours of planning, he finally figured out the perfect deck that he could use, the one that would beat everything as it was a bit interesting. It was one filled with revenge and anger.

Like Bastion himself.

"IT IS ALIVE! THE DECK! MY DECK IS FINISHED AND I… WILL… WIN!" yelled Bastion with a grin on his face as he then placed the deck into his Duel Disk to hear a satisfying sound of a deck going in. Walking past the mountains of energy drink cans and cups of coffee that he got from a vending machine.

With Sora widening his eyes, realizing what was about to happen he decided to run to tell everyone was about to happen.

Bastion was ready to take on the Society Of Light.

All on his own.

At The Obelisk White Dorm

Bastion walked towards the dorm and opened the door with a determined look on his face. "Hello gentlemen, please tell me…" Bastion's eyes narrowed with a fury of a thousand Suns.

"Where is Sartorius?" he asked in a tone that didn't need any other questions.

Several murmurs spread around the Obelisk White Dorm like wildfire of a student, a Ra Yellow not even a member of the Society Of Light, walking in, bargaining into a room like he owned the damn place and ask to meet with Sartorius like he owned the island.

"Why should we tell you? You are not a member of the Society Of Light." said Reggie with a grin on his face as Bastion walked pass him, without even acknowledging his existence.

"That may be so, but like one said, the door is still open, isn't that right? America?" asked Bastion as he glanced at a former Ra Yellow behind him, walking backwards in surprise.

"Wel-Well yeah! But I wasn't expecting you to come so soon." admitted America as Ishiki patted him on the back.

"As you see, I have entered the door, but for a different reason. A reason why you wouldn't expect." said Bastion with a ray of confidence that was akin to Chazz in the previous year.

"Another reason? So you aren't here to join the Society Of Light, I assume?" asked Ryuga as narrowed his eyes at that.

"Oh no, I won't be joining the dorm, thank you for the kind invitation." Bastion's demanour switched to a kind man, and then right back into his previous state, "I am here for Sartorius for a reason."

"That is?" asked Ishiki, wondering what he might want with him.

"To duel him." said Bastion as they gasped hearing that not even someone of the likes of Aster or even Jaden hadn't done so yet. And now, someone on the likes of him, wanted to challenge the very person that was the strongest duelist in the island?

That can't be possible. With his skills?

He would have been crushed.

"You want to duel him?" Bastion then raised his head upwards to see Celina, Skye and Alexis in the upper area, all leaning on the rails with different poses, as Celina was the one that said that, "Yeah, right. With your current skills as a duelist, you would be crushed when you duel him."

"Is that so? Well, I would like to see him try." Bastion looked at her with a cocky, yet confident in his eyes.

"Oh… I am going to enjoy this." said Celina with an almost sadistic look in her eyes.

"I hate to break it to you, but, Master Sartorius is a busy man and currently, he is in a call with several of his employes and duelists from all around the world, so you have to wait for him to finish which will take some time," explained Skye as Bastion chuckled.

"Very well, I am a patient man after all." said Bastion as he crossed his arms.

Alexis then narrowed her eyes at him, "I don't think you get the memo, you are not allowed here. You are only allowed to be here if you are a member of the Society Of Light." she explained.

"YEAH! Buzz off, loser!" yelled Raizou with Bastion not even flinching at that.

"I have one more thing to say to that: Try me. I am not leaving here without dueling him. Even if I have to wait for the Sun to explode, I will be here until I die." Bastion asserted himself to which Celina sighed at.

"We tried to warn him," said Celina as she then got off the rails, "Time to kick him ou-"

"Apologizes for the intrusion," said Sartorius as Celina stopped instantly as everyone bowed when he walked out of his room, "but I may have heard a commotion."

"Ma-Master Sartorius, I am sorry." Celina bowed as Sartorius waved his hand.

"Don't worry about it, it is quite alright." Sartorius then turned to Bastion as he could hear Celina sigh in relief, "Well then, you must be Bastion Misawa, I heard a lot about you in the past few weeks. How you aced the entrance exams with flying colours. How you were the top ranking Ra Yellow of your year. Please, enlighten me and tell me why did you come all over here?"

"Spare me the pleasantries, Sartorius, you know why I am here." said Bastion as Sartorius chuckled.

"If you don't include you declaring to duel me and entering in this establishment that could deafen a concert, then I would assume that you would like to duel me, is that right?" asked Sartorius with a raised brow as Bastion nodded.

"That's right. I have created a perfect deck that is sure to counter all of your strategies in a matter of seconds. Not only that, I will make sure that you will forever leave this island and free everyone from this so called Light!" yelled Bastion as Sartorius nodded.

"I see. You are dueling me to assure that the Society Of Light goes away, is that right?" asked Sartorius with Bastion grinning.

"You would be correct!" Bastion stated as Sartorius nodded with him.

"And I would assume that there is no other reason for this? No inner reasoning for this? To prove someone that you are of worth?" asked Sartorius with a grin, loving the hesitation that Bastion made once he heard that.

"N-No, you are wrong, there are no ulterior motives for this. I just want to assure the safety for my fellow classmates!" yelled Bastion.

"Fine, I will-"

"Wait," Sartorius, Bastion and the Society Of Light turned to the source of the voice: Celina, "Let me duel him. I don't want you to waste your time with him and if I am being honest with myself, I kinda want to have a rematch with him." said Celina as Sartorius thought about this, while her new cards were that of something that has never been seen before.

This was one of the few times when Destiny was undetermined with how this might go down with the sole reason being that of Bastion's unpredictability of his deck choices as it could result in Destiny being on Bastion's side.

However, Sartorius still felt Fate be on his side as even during this, he could still feel that Sartorius was in Fate's Hands for success, right at the center of the palms of fate showing his victory. Despite this being one of the few cases of him going off course, it didn't mean that fate was outside of his control.

Sartorius smirked, "I will allow that. What about you, Bastion?" he turned to the lone Ra Yellow.

On the one hand, Celina wasn't his ideal duelist that he wanted to duel against as his main goal was to beat Sartorius in a duel. On the other hand, Bastion slightly agreed with what Celina said, albeit for a different reason. WIth a heavy heart, Bastion made a decision, "I agree with that on one condition: If I beat her, The Society of Light is finished."

"That is fine with me," Sartorius glanced at Celina, "What about you?"

"I don't mind it at all, there is no chance of him winning though, so why even bother?" asked Celina as Sartorius nodded.

"The Duel has been decided: Celina will now duel Bastion," said Sartorius with an eager tone in his voice, "If Celina loses, I will effectively defect from Academy Island and stop the Society Of Light for good, however if Bastion loses, he becomes a member of the Society Of Light. Does that sound fair?"

The two nod.

"Good, now, let us go outside for this, I don't want to make a mess." said Sartorius as everyone walked out of the dorm to watch the duel that was about to happen outside, one that might change the Society Of Light forever.

Bastion stood on the opposite side to her as they then readied their duel disks at the same time while yelling one word.

"DUEL!"

Bastion: 4000 lp

Celina: 4000 lp

Turn 1.

"Since I am the challenger, I will go first!" yelled Bastion as he drew the top 6 cards from his deck as he looked at his new hand. "Now, let's test out my newly made deck if it would be a good counter to her deck. Since she is a Fusion Specialist, it would be a wise choice to stop her from Fusing." Bastion thought out to which his hand, while nothing special, was a decent counter to most of her strategies.

Bastion took out 3 of the 6 cards from his hand, "I will set a monster face down," a card was set horizontally in front of him, "and 2 cards face down." 2 cards were then set vertically in front of him.

Bastion then looked at his opponent, "That is all. Your move." said

Turn 2. Celina - 4000 lp - 5 cards

Celina blinked at what she saw as most of them, with the exception of Sartorius who merely crossed his arms, looked confused at what just happened "Wait, that is it?!" Celina asked in shock as Bastion shook his head.

"For now, no as you are yet to meet my deck's playstyle." replied Bastion with a smirk on his face as he saw a great combo in the upcoming turn.

"Still… you came all over here, challenged Master Sartorius just to do a basic move even beginners would do?" asked Celina with narrowed eyes, not believing that he would go around with a basic strategy like that, as she knew that Bastion was the type of person to go all out when making a deck against someone.

"That is correct, at least, on the surface." said Bastion in a low tone, wanting to keep something as a surprise.

Celina chuckled, "Well then, looks like this will be easier than I thought, I draw!" yelled Celina as she drew the top card of her deck with 5 cards already in her hand. She looked at the current cards in her hand with a nod, already planning a good combo with this hand and with the newly drawn card in her hand? This will be the start of a great turn. Celina grinned.

"I play Polymerization!" Bastion grinned upon hearing that as Celina continued, "With this, I fuse from my hand-"

"Not so fast! I have been waiting to do this! Go, activate! Non-Fusion Area!" One of Bastion's set cards revealed itself, with him having a grin on his face, with particiles appearing around the duel and the area itself, "With this card active on the field, neither player can Fusion Summon! Which in turn means that your Polymerization is destroyed!" yelled Bastion with Celina's Polymerization exploding upon hearing that.

"Oh… oh shit, that is your countermeasure for my deck?" asked Celina, not expecting a card that early in the duel with Bastion having a confident look on his face.

"That is correct. Your deck relies on you Fusion Summoning powerful monsters, using monsters that go to the graveyard and having powerful effects that rely on the Battle Phase to beat your opponent in quick succession." explained Bastion, "I made this deck specifically so that I could counter not only your deck, but Skye, Alexis and Sartorius' decks at the same time."

"That… that might have been a problem," admitted Skye as even though she did have cards that weren't Fusion Monsters, she would have despised dueling with that card.

"I concur." Alexis agreed with her.

Celina sighed, "Fine, I admit that is a decent strategy, but I still have ways to get around that! I summon my Lunalight Blue Cat!" yelled Celina as then on her field appeared one of her signature monsters. It was a monster that had light blue fur that had orange shoes, as the top part of her body was dark blue as it had long puffy sleeves at the end, but the start it was like yellow cotton, as she had a long cat-like tail as she had yellow eyes, with a yellow mask on her face with a red pupil.

(Lunalight Blue Cat: Level 4 - Dark Beast-Warrior - Attack: 1600. Defense: 1200.)

"Now, I discard from my hand my Lunalight Purple Butterfly! I can target 1 Lunalight monster on my side of the field and make it gain 1000 attack points!" yelled Celina as then she took a card from her hand and sent it to the graveyard. As then Lunalight Blue Cat then glew with red energy around her.

Lunalight Blue Cat: 1600 - 2600 attack points

"Then, I activate Purple Butterfly's effect from my graveyard! By banishing it from my graveyard, I am allowed to special summon a Lunalight Monster from my hand!" yelled Celina as then she took the card that popped out of her duel disk and placed it in her pocket. She then took a card from her hand and slammed it onto her duel disk, "Come out! Lunalight Wolf!"

As then a monster appeared. It had a dark purple skin with accessories all over her legs, like an amazoness. Around her hips was dark black fur, and around her chest and torso was dark green fur covering you know what. She wore a golden helmet covering her eyes. Her hair was the most noticeable part about the monster. It was green, black, gray and white all at the same time, around it was a golden ring and it reached towards her feet.

(Lunalight Wolf: Level 6 - Light Beast-Warrior - Attack: 2000. Defense: 1800.)

"I remember this monster. If a Lunalight Monster you control attacks a monster in defense position, then the difference of the attacking monster's attack points and the defending monster's defense points are dealt to me as damage," explained Bastion to which Celina nodded.

"That's right, Wolf allows my monster to deal piercing damage! Which I will now go full force on you! Since Lunalight Blue Cat has the higher attack points, she is going to attack your monster! Go! Pounce Strike!" yelled Celina as she thrusted her arm forward as Lunalight Blue Cat grinned as she then jumped straight towards Bastion's set monster.

The set card was then flipped over as his monster was then revealed.

And it was nothing they could have expected from Bastion's arsenal. It wasn't a simple monster, no it was an amalgamation, a beast of nature and of horror. There were different types of animals that came out of the card, from wolves, bears to even a small puppy, but what made them terrifying was how they looked like. They were all deformed, with their mouths growing another set of mouths with teeth being sharper than knives, bones coming out of their bodies, eyes appearing around their entire bodies, almost looking like they were going to mesh together.

(Vendread Houndhorde: Level 3 - Dark Zombie - Attack: 0. Defense: 2100.)

Many gasps were heard, some people covered their mouths, some vomited from seeing that monster (Reggie), but Sartorius was interested at the design of the thing.

Celina shook her head so she could ignore how this beast looks like, "That monster only has 2100 defense points and my Lunalight Blue Cat has 2600 attack points! Your monster is getting destroyed!" she proclaimed as Lunalight Blue Cat charged forward.

Lunalight Blue Cat then pounced towards the wolf, kicking the head downwards to the ground, creating a small crater on the ground, as she then used the bones of the wolf to then throw it towards the small puppy next to it, which in turn sent the rest of the monsters flying as well. Lunalight Blue Cat then jumped towards the bear to land a powerful scratch on the head, making it drop to the ground.

Bastion: 4000 - 3500 lp

Celina: 4000 lp

"Now that is clear, my Lunalight Wolf will then rip you to shreds! Go! Ripping Frenzy!" yelled Celina as then Lunalight Wolf went down to all fours as she then began to run straight towards Bastion, who merely smirked.

"I am not letting you come close to me like this! Go, Trap! Pinpoint Guard!" yelled Bastion as then a massive hand came out of the ground, which was made out of the very earth itself, "When you declare an attack, I am allowed to target 1 Level 4 or lower monster from my graveyard and special summon it!"

The massive hand that came out of nowhere, except from the very ground itself then pointed towards the ground which was made to create a hole in the ground as then several monsters from Vendread Houndhorde then crawled out of the hole, all yearning for destruction.

(Vendread Houndhorde: Level 3 - Dark Zombie - Attack: 0. Defense: 2100.)

"The best part? For the remainder of this turn, it can not be destroyed by battle or card effects!" yelled Bastion with a grin as Celina then sighed.

"Crafty. I will give you that," said Celina as she then took a card from her hand, "I will set 2 cards face down and call it a turn." said Celina as then two cards were set vertically behind Lunalight Blue Cat and Wolf.

Lunalight Blue Cat: 2600 - 1600 attack points

Turn 3. Bastion - 3500 lp - 3 cards

Before Bastion could even move towards his deck, everyone could hear a group of people running towards them with most of them being tired. "We are here!" yelled Jaden as they turned towards them, as he was one of the 2 people that weren't tired from running to the Obelisk White Dorm.

Sora was carried by Hassleberry on his back due to how much sugar he ate before running, Syrus and Ray were on the ground, Chazz, Aster and Yusuke had their hands on their knees, taking deep breaths after the other.

"I knew… we shouldn't have run towards… the Duel Arena!" yelled Chazz in breaths which now explains why most of them were tired.

Hassleberry turned his head to look at Sora, "You need to stop eating so much sugar, Private Perse. You might get diabetes."

"Bite me," said Sora as he then took out twizzlers from his pocket to which Hassleberry took it from him, "Bastard."

"I need to go back to the gym," admitted Aster.

"Oh great, they are here." said Raizou with a scowl on his face as Taiyou agreed with him on that for once.

"Why are you guys here?" asked Skye with a bored expression on her face, which was honestly one of the better ones that they are seeing as most of them, with the exception of her, Sartorius, Alexis and Celina, all looked at them with either disgust or anger at them.

"Well to be blunt," Jaden turned to Bastion, as the Ra Yellow looked at them with a happy expression on his face, "we came here when Sora said that you wanted to duel Sartorius or the Society Of Light so we ran as fast as we can… we unfortunately thought you were in the Duel Arena, so this is why we are late."

"Thank you for coming here, gentlemen, however, you shouldn't fear anything just yet, I have everything under control as of right now," said Bastion as Celina chuckled hearing that.

"So far." Celina said ominously.

Bastion decided to ignore her, "Before any of you worry, I have made a deck that is specifically to tailor against 4 decks all at once for the off chance of me being unable to duel Sartorius, which is now the current moment." said Bastion as he was a bit happy that he isn't dueling him since his current hand didn't have any Anti-Light monsters so far.

Sartorius smirked, knowing that even off a duel, Destiny was on his side.

Aster then turned to him, "Hey, if it is about what we said; I just wanted to say, that I am-"

"Don't worry about it." Bastion said, surprising them by how quick he said that, "If I am being honest with myself, what you said was harsh, yet… understandable. Out of everyone, I was the one slacking with dueling, unable to duel anyone in the past few months," Yusuke gritted his teeth, knowing that what he said applies to him as well, "and when I thought was the strongest Ra Yellow, I needed that wake up call, no matter how harsh it was."

Bastion smiled at them, "Don't worry about what you guys said, I now realize what I have to do. I have had to rebuild and create my deck to a new level, one that should never falter, no matter his skills, as right here… think of me as a new man." he said as Jaden then smirked.

"Alright… then we will be at your side, no matter what!" cheered Jaden as Bastion felt clearer than before, as right here and right now… he felt bigger and stronger than before and with this new deck, he will prove that to all of them.

"I will go now!" Bastion then drew the top card of his deck and played once he saw it "I play the Spell card, Pre-Preparation of Rites! With this, I can add 1 RItual Spell card from my deck and a Ritual Monster from my deck or graveyard whose name is mentioned in that Ritual Spell card!" two cards popped out of Bastion's deck as he took them, "I add Revendread Origin and Revendread Slayer!"

Aster's eyes instantly shot up once he heard that deck as Chazz grinned, "Oh, this will be good." said Chazz as Aster nodded.

"I was wondering why that monster looked so familiar." admitted Aster.

Bastion's Field Spell Card Zone popped out to which he took a card from his hand and placed it, "Time for a change in scenery! I play the Field Spell card known as Vendread Nights!" several skyscrapers erupted from the ground, all surrounding the entire arena alike someone's Skyscraper Field Spell card as the windows from the massive buildings began to shine bright lights as the sky turned blue.

"This card has an interesting ability! Once per turn, I am allowed to discard a card from my hand, such as my Vendread Scavanger," Bastion sent a card from his hand to the graveyard, "So that I am allowed to add 1 Vendread Monster from my deck to my hand, I will pick the monster known as Vendread Revenants!" a card popped out of Bastion's deck to which he took it.

"Now, I am going to normal Summon my Vendread Revenants in attack mode!" said Bastion as then on his side of the field appeared a group of monsters that shocked most of the duelists, except for Sartorius who found it amusing. There were all humans, but the words 'human' didn't really fit it, they were more like zombies, which fit them because all of them had blue skin, glowing blue eyes and their appearance were that becoming into a monsters. Either they were becoming into a monster, had their arms turn into a claw of a monster or both at the same time.

(Vendread Revenants: Level 4 - Dark Zombie - Attack: 1800. Defense: 200.)

"It is official…" Began Celina as she gritted her teeth while narrowing her eyes, "I am having nightmares tonight."

"Looks like something Junji Ito might draw." Ray could barely look at it as Sora (Who got off of Hassleberry's back) shook his head.

"Nah… they would have been even more terrifying." said Sora as he took a bite of his twizzlers.

"I know that they might be terrifying to look at, however, I will change that by summoning a monster that will bring hope to everyone! I play my Ritual Spell card, Revendread Origin!" a massive black circle appeared on the field with the head of Revendread Slayer being on it, representing itself as a symbol, "With this, I can use it to Ritual Summon any Vendread Ritual Monster whose level exceeds or is it the same as my Ritual Monster!"

Both Revenants and Houndhorde all turned into data as they then went forward and lit up 6 of the 12 heads, "The combined levels of the monsters are 7! The monster I am summoning has 6 Levels, that means everything is set up perfectly!" yelled Bastion as then the circle began to spin like crazy, as if it was transforming into a portal, which then Bastion took a card and slammed it onto his duel disk.

"When the hope of humanity dwindles down throughout the night, rage consumes a sickly man to avenge his fallen love! I Ritual Summon! Fight!" Bastion chanted as a warrior came out of the portal and revealing himself through the darkened sky. It was a monster with dark blue skin with light orange skin around his calves and shoulders, with his eyes boiling with blood red rage. He wore a long beige coloured scarf and around his neck, had a necklace of his fallen wife. He had horns out of his shoulders as several blades came out of his back, sharp enough to pierce through anything. "Revendread Slayer!"

(Revendread Slayer: Ritual - Level 6 - Dark Zombie - Attack: 2400. Defense: 0.)

Everyone were at silent awe at the newly summoned monster that was used by Bastion Misawa as this was a one of a kind monster that they wouldn't have expected from him. They would expect him to summon a monster that was based around Chemistry, or reactions of fire, or religion based around the Nephthys from what Alexis could briefly remember or Physics in the form of the Magnet Warriors, but never a monster that was strictly as hardcore as this.

Alexis, Duel Academy's best Ritual Duelist, had to admit, "As much I as I don't want to say it, that is a cool to look at monster."

"For real. How does he have a monster like that?" asked Skye to which even Alexis didn't have an answer to that.

"This strength of a duelist… it could even rival that of the Pro Duelists… He will be a perfect one to see The Light." Sartorius mumbled to himself.

"Yo that is sweet! Kinda looks like one of my monsters!" said Jaden which Aster thought it looked more like one of his Destiny Hero monsters.

"Thank you for the kind words, however that is only the start!" a card popped out of the graveyard to which Bastion took it. "If I control a Revendread Slayer while Vendread Scavenger is in my graveyard, I am allowed to special summon it, but it is banished when it leaves the field! Come along, my friend!"

Bastion slammed the card onto his duel disk as on his field appeared an amalgamation. The monster simply towered over Revendread Slayer, as the skin was that of several zombies being sticked together as there were veins coming out of the skin, almost bursting out of the skin as there were several bones and spikes coming out of the monster with the eyes burning into either red or blue as his arms were being turned into several tentacles.

(Vendread Scavenger: Ritual - Level 8 - Dark Zombie - Attack: 2800. Defense: 0.)

Bastion grinned as he saw the horrific looks that everyone was giving towards the newly summoned monster as soon as it came out, knowing that it was with a decent effect while it was on the field, "Surprised? Well, I do not blame any of you since this behemoth is one of my stronger monsters that I currently control! Now, I will then activate Revendread Slayer's Inherited effects!"

"Inherited?" asked Celina.

"My Vendreads have a unique ability of when they are used to Ritual Summon a Vendread Monster, they gain effects! The first one if pretty simple, since Hounhorde is used for a Ritual Summon, Revendread Slayer is allowed to banish a Spell or Trap card!" yelled Bastion as then Revendread Slayer snapped his fingers as then one of the blades charged forward to then pierce through one of the traps as Celina then gritted her teeth.

"Oh you want to go like that? Fine! The effect of my Loss For Gain activates!" yelled Celina as then she took the card that was destroyed that had an image of a man looking down at the destroyed building that he used to live in as if it was the building that ended up killing a murder that was about to kill him.

[Loss For Gain: Trap - When this card leaves the field, all the life points that you would have lost is now halved. Your opponent can not declare a direct attack the turn you activate this effect. Your opponent must send 1 card from their deck to their graveyard]

"When this card leaves the field, all of the damage I would have taken is now halved!" yelled Celina as Bastion clicked his tongue hearing that, "Furthermore, you can not declare a direct attack for the rest of this turn!"

"Damn it. If it weren't for that fact I could have either have used the effect of Revenenants to banish any Lunalight Monster that she would have summoned thanks to Blue Cat's effect, nor could I activate the effect of Scavenger to tribute my Revendread Slayer so that it could attack both of her monsters at the same time and win me the duel." Bastion thought over what could have been his victory, aka OTK, but he sighed.

"Well, that is fine, I suppose." said Bastion as then Celina chimed in.

"However… you are allowed to send 1 card from your deck to your graveyard." said Celina, which was not a good thing due to the fact that Bastion's whole deck revolves around the graveyard being active.

"Very well, I will send Scar Of The Vendread to the graveyard." said Bastion as a card popped out of his deck as he took it and then sent it to the graveyard, "Now! Scar's effect activates! When sent to the graveyard, I am allowed to add 1 Vendread Spell or Trap card from my deck to my hand! I will add my Vendread Berserk!" a card popped out of his duel disk as he then took it.

"Battle!" yelled Bastion at the top of his lungs as he then thrusted his arm towards her, "Revendread Slayer will attack your Lunalight Wolf! Vengeance Destruction!" yelled Bastion as then Revendread Slayer roared with might as he then went into a position to then charge straight towards Lunalight Wolf as then a card popped out of Bastion's graveyard, again.

"This time, Revendread Slayer's effect activates! When he battles a monster, I banish 1 Vendread Monster from my graveyard so that he can gain 300 attack points!" yelled Bastion as he took Vendread Hounhorde and placed it in his pocket.

Revendread Slayer: 2400 - 2700 attack points

The boost that Revendread Slayer gained was small, but noticeable compared to the rest as his speed increased with his tenacity and agility growing by the moment, as even the experienced Lunalight Wolf was caught off guard with him appearing out of nowhere as he grabbed her head, raised her entire body with his one hand and then slammed her to the floor, creating a massive crater on the ground, almost knocking Celina off her feet.

Bastion: 3500 lp

Celina: 4000 - 3650 lp

"Now, I will activate the effect of Vendread Nights! When a Vendread monster destroys a monster by battle, I can now banish a Vendread monster from my graveyard, such as my Scar Of The Vendread," a card popped out of his graveyard as he placed it in his pocket as then Bastion grinned ear to ear, "I am now allowed to attack once more with Revendread Slayer!"

"What?!" most of them yelled in shock.

"Interesting. If Bastion didn't banish her Loss For Gain Trap card, this would have ended badly for her." said Sartorius with a smirk on his face.

"The best part about Revendread Slayer's battle effect is that it is not once per turn, but rather once per battle! That means I can banish from my graveyard my Vendread Revenants in order for him to gain an additional 300 attack points!" yelled Bastion as they gasped hearing the power of one card having in terms of the battle.

Revendread Slayer: 2700 - 3000 attack points

Without even declaring an attack, Revendread Slayer sprung onto the action, ready to kill his enemies, which Neos was gaining respect for, with Lunalight Blue Cat trying to user her claws at him, but Revendread Slayer wasn't having any of that as he made his bones strike both of her claws, making them fly to the other direction where she wanted her to throw them so that Revendread Slayer could specifically sucker punch the monster, making her fly towards a building.

"SHIT! What a blow!" yelled Celina through gritted teeth.

Bastion: 3500 lp

Celina: 3650 - 2950 lp

Celina then slid her foot forward, "Not so close! I activate two cards! The first is Lunalight Reincarnation Dance, which when a Lunalight monster is destroyed, I am allowed to add 2 Lunalight monsters from my deck! I choose Lunalight Emerald Bird and Crimson Fox!" yelled Celina as the two cards popped out of her deck as she then took them.

"Then, since Lunalight Blue Cat was destroyed by battle, I am allowed to take 1 Lunalight monster and special summon her onto my field!" yelled Celina as she took a card from her deck and slammed it, "Come out, Lunalight Yellow Marten!"

On her side of the field appeared a yellow fox with yellow hair down to her shoulders, with black high heels with fur on the top as it wore a pink skirt that also counted as a tight suit, with black gloves that had fur on the start with a yellow mask on. It was in an X position.

(Lunalight Yellow Marten: Level 4 - Dark Beast-Warrior - Attack: 800. Defense: 2000.)

"Ahh man, she gained an advantage, even during Bastion's turn!" said Syrus as Bastion smiled.

"That won't bother me too much. Go, Vendread Scavenger! Destroy that Lunalight Blue Cat! Massacre Mayhem!" yelled Bastion as then the behemoth of a monster screamed out in pure might as it then began to charge towards as its hands turned into tentacles that went towards the Yellow Marten, which wrapped around the Lunalight monster and dragged itself towards the Ritual Monster so that it could deliver a powerful haymaker to the jaw, creating a massive shockwave, to which Celina didn't react to.

Celina looked at him with narrowed eyes, "Is that all?" she asked as Bastion looked at his hand, and despite the massive field advantage, he knew that sooner or later, Celina would manage to create an opening with her monsters.

"Yes, go ahead." said Bastion as he looked at his lone card with narrowed eyes.

Turn 4. Celina - 2950 lp - 2 cards

"I am going to be honest," said Ray as he looked on the duel with a shocked expression, "Did not expect Bastion to push her at her limits like this."

"Ye! Like how Private Bastion managed to summon two powerful platoons and managed to almost cause a wipe out on Ma'Am Boyle's base of operations!" said Hassleberry as he placed his hands on his hips.

"Not to mention, her Extra Deck is locked due to her not being able to Fusion Summon." said Chazz with a grin as Yusuke disagreed with that.

"Not entirely." they turned to him with a confused look as Aster turned to him with an interested look on his face.

"What do you mean by that?" asked Syrus.

Yusuke placed his hand under his chin, "I am saying that there is a small issue with Non-Fusion Area. Normally, yes it is good against pretty much every Fusion Deck out there, and yet it has a massive problem with them being Special Summoned from the deck. It says that no players can Fusion Summon, so if you use cards that special summon a monster from the deck, like Instant Fusion, Non-Fusion Area's effect won't be activated."

That small detail changed everything as even though it might matter with some decks, with new cards that Jaden got with the Neos Fusions and Chazz's Union Monsters, the card's power weakened upon learning that fact.

It is something that they hoped that Celina didn't have an answer to.

"My turn! I draw!" yelled Celina as she then looked at her newly drawn card and she sighed. "Damn it. It won't work at this turn! I needed something that would have beaten his monsters without an issue! Though, if I am going to survive, this card is needed for that. A shame that his Non-Fusion Area is still on the field, I need to find a card for that." Celina thought in her head as she then took a card from her hand.

"You might have a good counter to my deck, I won't lie, but I still have tricks left in my sleeves! I Normal Summon my Lunalight Emerald Bird!" yelled Celina as then she slammed the card onto her field, making a monster come onto her field.

It was a girl with light green skin, purple boots and cloth around her hips and shoulders, wings at the end of her hand and on her back, with an orange mask on her right side with brown hair, purple eyes and a hat.

(Lunalight Emerald Bird: Level 4 - Dark Beast-Warrior - Attack: 1200. Defense: 1000.)

"I now activate her effect, when she is normal summoned I am allowed to discard a Lunalight Monster from my hand," Celina revealed her Lunalight Crimson Fox, which many frowned to as they knew what was about to happen next, "And then I am allowed to draw a card from my deck!"

Once Celina drew the top card of her deck, she frowned slightly, knowing that the card, while a good card for defense, was ultimately a bad card if she wanted to deal some damage during this turn. Though, she did sigh, "That is fine. I will just activate the effect of my discarded Lunalight Crimson Fox's effect!" yelled Celina.

A silhouette of Lunalight Crimson Fox appeared beside her, looking ominously towards her next victim, "Once sent to the graveyard, one monster on your side of the field loses all of its attack points until the end of the turn!" yelled Celina as then Lunalight Crimson Fox dashed straight ahead towards Vendread Scavenger, who couldn't land a single punch since she was a ghost after all, so she was easily able to land a hit on the massive behemoth.

Vendread Scavenger: 2800 - 0 attack points

"Aww man! That ain't good!" yelled Syrus.

"That is now enough for me to battle!" began Celina as Lunalight Emerald Bird looked ready to kill her next victim, "Lunalight Emerald Bird attacks and destroys your Vendread Scavenger! Attack him with Emerald Splash!" Upon yelling her command, Lunalight Emerald Bird rose up to the air, flying past the skyscrapers in the seconds as then several emeralds came out of her wings.

The woman then began to flap her wings, in which she then released a whole storm made out of emeralds, flowing down like a hurricane of bombardment, starting from the ground itself until it reached towards the two monsters which Revendread Slayer easily flicking them away from him, Vendread Scavenger wasn't so lucky as his skin was pierced through by the emeralds on many occasions, creating a small shockwave, which pushed back Bastion.

Bastion: 3500 - 2300 lp

Celina: 2950 lp

The woman then began to descent down towards her mistress as Celina sighed, knowing that the next turn won't be easy to survive, "That ends my turn."

Turn 5. Bastion - 2300 lp - 1 card

Bastion then drew the top card of his deck. Even though it was clear that so far, he had the advantage of the duel, they knew that one good was enough for him to lose the entire duel if so Celina gets another turn, which he will make sure that won't happen.

He looked at the newly drawn card and nodded, "I activate Graceful Charity, with this I draw 3 cards from my deck!" yelled Bastion as he drew the top 3 cards from his hand and took 2 of them, "I will now discard 2 cards such as my Vendread Squire and Vendread Anima!" he said as the two cards were then discarded to the graveyard, which it was instantly known what was about to happen.

A card then popped out of his graveyard slot, "Now; I activate the effect of my Vendread Anima! I can banish this monster from my graveyard to target 1 Banished Vendread monster from my banished zone!" yelled Bastion as he thought about summoning his Vendread Scavenger for large attack, however, he decided to have a monster that would give more advantage during the battle and with the cards in his hand, it would be wise to pick a different monster, "I pick and summon Scar Of The Vendread!"

Bastion took a card from the banished zone and slammed it onto the duel disk as next to Revendread Slayer was a powerful, yet dangerous beast. It was a massive bulky monster with dark blue skin, bones coming out of the skin as they acted as armour, with it having large red gauntlets around his arms. The monster wore clothing that was blue leather with a hoodie covering his body as his eyes glew red and blue.

(Scar Of The Vendread: Level 6 - Dark Zombie - Attack: 2300. Defense: 0.)

Celina gritted her teeth, "Great… another one." said Celina as Bastion smirked.

"Huh… wonder why he summoned Scar and not Scavenger?" Aster thought about it as he then shook his head, "Eh, probably because he wanted to add a card once it is sent to the graveyard."

"It is very likely. Either way, they weren't bad choices." Yusuke gave his 2 cents.

Bastion, in his head, began to think about his options, "Hmm. There are 2 options I could perform at the current moment, though I do not know which one I should partake in. Either I use Revendread Slayer's effect to boost its attack points upwards to 3300 and attack directly with Scar, or I attack with Slayer to activate the effect of Vendread Nights to banish my Vendread Squire to allow one more attack. Either way, I should make this quick."

Bastion decided to make a choice, "Battle! Revendread Slayer will attack and destroy your Lunalight Emerald Bird!" yelled Bastion as Revendread Slayer charged forwards with the intent to kill, "Then I activate his effect! Once per battle, I can banish a Vendread Monster from my graveyard, he gains an additional 300 attack points!"

A card popped out of his graveyard as he took it, with some of the more experienced duelists narrowing their eyes after seeing that.

Revendread Slayer: 3000 - 3300 attack points

Revendread Slayer then shot several bones from his back as the smaller creature tried to fly away, but one bone pierced through her wings, making Lunalight Emerald Bird scream in agony as Revendread Slayer jumped upwards and kicked the bird down with a single kick to the back, creating a smaller crater than before. An explosion happened as Celina gritted her teeth with Bastion smirking.

Bastion: 2300 lp

Celina: 2950 - 850 lp

While some were watching the duel with interest and in shock, Jaden looked at what happened as Chazz, Aster and Yusuke all had the same reaction as the HERO Duelist, "I am in no place to judge, but shouldn't he have saved that card for Vendread Nights so that he can attack twice with Slayer?"

"That's what I would have done." said Aster as Chazz narrowed his eyes.

"Maybe he is confident that he would win the duel that he chose a different option?" Suggested Chazz as he crossed his arms, "I mean, victory is in the grasp of his hands, you would be stupid to not take that chance."

"True, but Bastion is not the type of person to charge in like that." Yusuke replied.

"Now, Scar Of The Vendread! FINISH THIS!" yelled Bastion as he threw his arm forward as Scar's massive body shifted that into an experienced battler as it then ran straight towards Celina with a raised fist into the air, ready to pummel her to her doom and demise. However, Celina had a plan against that.

"Not so fast!" yelled Celina as she then took a card from her hand, "When I would be attacked directly, I can special summon Swordsman of Revealing Light in defense mode!" yelled Celinas as she then slammed a card onto her duel disk.

A huge burst of light appeared on the opposite side of both Revendread Slayer and Scar Of The Vendread, causing most of the people watching the duel to cover their eyes, sans Sartorius, as then a monster was formed from the light, shining through the busy, dark and cold city of the Vendreads. The monster wore a traditional samurai-like battle armour with the blue colouring scheme, covering all parts of his body. On the chest plate were tiny daggers made out of lightning. The monster also wielded a sword made out of lightning. When he was summoned onto the field, 3 big swords made out of lightning appeared behind him. He was in a X position, making it known that he was in defense mode.

(Swordsman of Revealing Light: Level 8 - Light Warrior - Attack: 0. Defense: 2400.)

"There is more! Even if you activated Vendread Nights instead to attack me directly, I had a backup plan because of the fact that once summoned this way, my monster is unable to be destroyed by battle!" yelled Celina with a grin, knowing that no matter what, she had a counter for Bastion's plan of attack.

Bad news for Celina, Bastion had a counter for that, "I was expecting that. Due to you summoning a monster that is counted as Special Summoning, I activate the inherited effect of Revendread Slayer, thanks to Revenants! I can banish one Special Summoned monster on your side of the field, no matter the cost!" yelled Bastion, shocking everyone as he snapped his fingers as the monster simply used one of his bones to pierce through the Samurai's helmet, killing him instantly.

"SHIT!" yelled Celina as she hated that one of her best monsters was taken out that easily.

"You will lose this duel! Scar Of The Vendread! Attack her and win this duel" yelled Bastion as the demon of the night continued charging towards her, raising her fist to punch her entire life out of her soul in a single strike, Celina, instead of fearing for her life,...

… smirked.

"You really think I had no other counters?" asked Celina as she took a card from her hand, shocking everyone once more, "I send from my hand my Swift Iron Scarecrow! When you declare a direct attack, I can discard the card and end the battle phase!" a scarecrow flew towards Scar Of The Vendread and took the punch for its master as Celina smirked the entire time.

"Ah…" Jaden blinked.

"Looks like using Vendread Nights didn't matter." commented Aster as he saw the gawking look of Bastion, "And from the looks of that… it isn't good at all."

Bastion gripped his fists into a ball before sighing, knowing that he couldn't predict everything, "I set two cards face down and end my turn." two cards were set vertically behind Slayer and Scar.

Turn 6. Celina - 850 lp - 0 cards

Celina breathed in and out as she placed her fingers on the top of her deck as she gripped the top of her card knowing that the next card she draws will be needed to win the duel once and for all as the situation was worse than ever. She had no monsters on her side of the field, no Spells or Traps, almost no life points, no cards in her hand and she couldn't even fuse her monsters together.

This was a situation that most people couldn't even get out of, which makes it worse since her deck was usually used to counter strike the opponent when she needed it the most, as even her deck was crippled at the current turn. Even though she has 2 monsters that she could summon without much issue, though with Revendread Slayer's two new effects, it will be next to impossible.

And yet… she believed in herself. Not for many reasons, other than the fact that no matter what.

The Light will always be with her, "My turn! I draw!" yelled Celina as she then drew the top card of her deck as she smirked, "I play the Spell card, Spell Book From The Pot! With this card, we both draw 3 cards from our decks!" yelled Celina as both her and Bastion drew 3 cards from their decks, filling their hands with new potential combos.

Both of them, upon looking at their new monsters, smirked, "Perfect." they both thought in unison.

"I can tell," began Sartorius as they looked at him as he had a look that would scare even those who are brave, "If the cards are played right, one shall prevail as victorious."

"I will begin by normal summoning my Lunalight White Rabbit!" yelled Celina as then she slammed a card onto her duel disk as on her field appeared a rabbit with white skin as she wore a tight suit that black and white with green lining. She had orange boots. She wore a white crop top with long white sleeves and green lining on the bottom of the jacket. She wore a mask to cover her eyes. Her hair was long as it was white. She wielded a massive white mallet.

(Lunalight White Rabbit: Level 2 - Dark Beast-Warrior - Attack: 800. Defense: 800.)

Bastion clicked his tongue as he had to hold off of Revendread Slayer's effect as Celina continued, "When she is normal Summoned, I can target special summon a Lunalight Monster from my graveyard! Come out, Emerald Bird!" yelled Celina as White Rabbit grabbed her hammer and slammed it onto the ground, creating a portal.

From the portal came out Emerald Bird.

(Lunalight Emerald Bird: Level 4 - Dark Beast-Warrior - Attack: 1200. Defense: 1000.)

"Remember, you can not Fusion Summon due to Non-Fusion Area," Bastion reminded her to which she grinned.

"Oh I do, and I will show you with this card that will now be public to everyone to see!" yelled Celina as she grabbed her strongest Main Deck monster, a monster that has everyone shook from the sheer power it possesses, "Since I control a Lunalight Monster, I am allowed to special summon a new monster! Come out Lunalight Turquoise Rabbit!"

On her field appeared a monster that brought down almost everyone in Obelisk Blue, as light appeared from it, so a new figure emerged from it. It was young lady that looked to be brand new, as she had turquoise coloured skin with both green and blue lining around her legs and arms, as wore green high heeled boots and blue coloured gloves, as the colour of her suit red at the center, yellow at the sides and the cloth around her hips was orange, as her eyes were amber, with short brown hair with a yellow mask on her face as she had rabbit like ears at the top.

(Lunalight Turquoise Rabbit: Level 1 - Tuner - Dark Beast-Warrior - Attack: 100. Defense: 500.)

Several people gawked at mere image of this new monster, as they remembered what was going to happen after this monster goes off.

"Pft. Am I supposed to be scared of a little bunny rabbit?" asked Hassleberry, "I have eaten those for lunch!"

"Uhm, hate to interrupt you, but," Sora nearly gulped as he knew something was off, "That thing is a Tuner monster."

Sartorius grinned at hearing that and terror brought to everyone around as they realized what was going to happen in a matter of minutes as he could see Bastion thinking about using Slayer's effect at the current moment, but he decided once it was Synchro Summoned. This will be good to watch. Then, Sartorius watched as Neos, Honest and Jupiter appeared beside the duelists.

"Honest… do you feel what is going to happen next?" asked The Grand Jupiter as he turned to his friend and judging by the reaction of Neos, it was almost confirmed to him.

"I do feel it, however, we must not act on instinct. Isn't that right, Neos?" asked Honest as Neos nodded.

"Yes, and don't worry, I won't hurt Serena. I made a promise to Jaden." said Neos as it was assuring to Jupiter and Honest that he won't attack someone that was semi-innocent in their eyes, however… they felt a tiny bit of fear at how Neos would react if they saw the monsters that he despises with all of his beings.

"I do not like this anticipation." said The Grand Jupiter as Honest narrowed his eyes.

"Neither do I."

"Before I do anything, I will activate White Rabbit's second effect! Once per turn, I can target Spell and Trap cards that you control is sent to your hand for every other Lunalight monsters I control! That means all of your set cards go back to your hand!" yelled Celina as Lunalight White Rabbit grabbed onto her hammer as she then slammed her hammer onto the ground, creating a strong whirlwind as then Bastion's two set cards were then flown out of sight as he crossed his arms.

"Now! It is time for something that I wanted to do for a long time! Something I want all of you to see! I use Turquoise Rabbit's effect to change a level from 1 to 8, and the monster I choose is my Emerald Bird!" yelled Celina.

Lunalight Emerald Bird: 4 - 6 Levels

"Time… to begin this once and for all!" Celina roared to the heavens as suddenly, she was struck by a purple lightning bolt which made everything turn black and white with the exception of her eyes, "I tune my Level 1 Lunalight Turquoise Rabbit with my Level 6 Emerald Bird!"

All three monsters flew upwards as Lunalight Turquoise Rabbit turned into 1 gate as Emerald Bird flew inside of the gate as she turned into 6 stars.

1 + 6 = 7!

Celina then began to chant, "The Speed of a Rabbit, the elegance of a bird, join together to whip up for a whirlwind of Destruction! I Synchro Summon! Clear Wing Synchro Dragon!" The monster she summoned was one of the most destructive monsters to ever be summoned. It was a large dragon, with white skin and black stripes all around the being, as it had no legs, but it did have long bright green crystals that act like wings for the top part, but for the bottom part it was some accessory, as the monster had some blue colouring around the chest, claws and hip area.

(Clear Wing Synchro Dragon: Synchro - Level 7 - Wind Dragon - Attack: 2500. Defense: 2000.)

While everyone in the Society Of Light grinned ear to ear once seeing that monster, with Skye nodding with a grin and Alexis clapped for the powerful looking monster. The rest looked on in complete shock at it was nothing that they were expecting. They expected everything other than a Dragon of sheer power such as that.

However, Jaden and Yusuke saw that monster in horror for a different reason. Not because of the fact that they dueled against it, but rather it reminded of him. The Venom Rider, Yuri. The one that nearly destroyed everyone in Academy Island, one of power that was rivaled that of a Pro Duelist. He was more of a monster than everyone else combined.

"How…. How does she have that monster?!" yelled Yusuke as he remembered that monster when Yuri summoned it against them. Jaden couldn't even speak from horror, knowing that this wasn't her.

It was something completely different.

Neos, on the other hand, turned to Jupiter and Honest, "Honest. Jupiter."

"Yes?"

"What is it?"

"Pick up that phone… cause I FUCKING CALLED IT!" yelled Neos as he figured out new lingo on Earth as his eyes nearly burned to that of a golden fury with his gem shining through as a beacon against the Light. "HOW DOES SHE HAVE THAT!? I TOLD YOU IT WAS SERENA! THE ONE THAT RUINED EVERYTHING!" If it weren't for the fact that he made a promise… this would have ended horribly for everyone around.

While the Ojamas and The Dark Scorpions were screaming right at Chazz's ear, he narrowed his eyes hearing the conversation as he turned to Jaden who had a look of pure horror in his eyes. He sighed as he crossed his arms.

"I will now activate the inherited effect of my Revendread Slayer! Once per turn, I target a Special Summoned monster on your side of the field and banish it!" yelled Bastion as he dared to fight back at the newly summoned monster. Revendread Slayer snapped his fingers as a bone was then shot from its back as it charged towards the Synchro Monster.

Celina laughed, "You think that will stop me?! Think again! I activate Clear Wing Synchro Dragon's effect! When a Level 5 or higher monster activates an effect, or you activate an effect that targets a Level 5 or higher monster, that effect is negated and your monster is destroyed!" yelled Celina as she then thrusted her arm forward. "Reverse Revenge!"

As soon as Celina ordered her new beast of destruction to battle against the effect, the monster instantly opened up its maw to begin to charge a beam of light as it was then shot straight towards that disintegrate the bone that was shot to kill him, which then followed straight towards Revendread Slayer as it covered its arms, "When Revendread Slayer would be destroyed, I can banish Vendread Origin from my graveyard to negate the destruction!" the beam went towards Revendread Slayer which made the powerful monster fly towards one of Vendread Nights' buildings, making it then topple on the Ritual monster as a result, almost killing it.

"Oh so you had protection on that monster without me knowing about it? Oh that would have been a great move on your end, too bad that it was stopped, right?" asked Celina with a grin of a predator as a card then popped out of her deck, "The third effect of Lunalight Turquoise Rabbit activates."

"Another effect!?" yelled Ray in shock.

"When it is used for a Synchro Summon, I can add a Polymerization from my deck to my hand," Celina took a card from her deck and added it to her hand as then she took a card from her graveyard, "Now, I will activate the effect of my Turquoise Rabbit from my graveyard! I banish her so I can special summon 2 Level 4 Lunalight Monsters from my graveyard or hand!"

"OH COME ON! THAT IS BUSTED!" yelled Syrus with wide eyes.

"Come out! Lunalight Emerald Bird and Blue Cat!" yelled Celina as two portals appeared as two figures came out, which were Emerald Bird and Blue Cat.

(Lunalight Emerald Bird: Level 4 - Dark Beast-Warrior - Attack: 1200. Defense: 1000.)

(Lunalight Blue Cat: Level 4 - Dark Beast-Warrior - Attack: 1600. Defense: 1200.)

Celina then thrusted her arms forward, "Then, I am automatically made to Overlay both of them to set the Overlay Network! I Overlay my Level 4 Lunalight Blue Cat and Emerald Bird!" yelled Celina as then she combined her hands together as images of the cards appeared on her hands, as then a universe appeared below her feet which then took the two monsters together as it then exploded in massive arrays of energy.

Celina then began to chant, "Cloaked in shadows, relentless in its objection! I Summon the most dangerous of dragons! I XYZ Summon! Dark Rebellion XYZ Dragon!" she yelled as the galaxy exploded as they had to cover themselves, but Celina and Sartorius stood there. The dragon was then shown and it was a dragon that was purple with yellow eyes, with a long purple tail, green, black and purple skin as some parts of his body was made out of metal as there were several oppressive purple orbs around the dragon, as 2 Dark Coloured Overlay Units were around the monster.

Both Clear Wing and Dark Rebellion roared once summoned as it created a small rip throughout everywhere.

(Dark Rebellion XYZ Dragon: XYZ - Rank 4 - Dark Dragon - Attack: 2500. Defense: 2000.)

"An XYZ and Synchro Monster?!" yelled Bastion in shock as everyone were at complete horror at what they were seeing.

"This power…. is insane!" yelled Yusuke with wide eyes, not even sure if he could battle it. Neos merely gripped his hands looking at the beasts of nature.

"If you think that is bad, wait until you see the effect of Dark Rebellion XYZ Dragon! I can send 2 of its Overlay Units to the graveyard so that I can target one monster on your side of the field and make it lose half of its attack points!" yelled Celina as then Dark Rebellion ate both of its Overlay Units as it roared making Revendread Slayer go down to a knee.

"The best part? I gain half of its attack points!" yelled Celina with Dark Rebellion letting out a powerful screech that shattered all of the glasses around them.

Revendread Slayer: 3300 - 1650 attack points

Dark Rebellion XYZ Dragon: 2500 - 4150 attack points

"Ahh man! If these attacks land, Bastion is done for!" yelled Syrus as he took several steps backwards. He turned to see Jaden and the only reaction he had was that of complete shock and it was almost alarming at how he was.

"Now… BATTLE! Dark Rebellion XYZ Dragon attacks your Revendread Slayer!" Celina roared as then Dark Rebellion XYZ Dragon was then covered in purple electricity as several of its blades began to sharpen alike that of a soldier before going into war as it let out a powerful roar before charging straight towards Revendread Slayer, "Mauling Mandible Charge!"

"BASTION!" they yelled.

Bastion grit his teeth, "If I am going to lose my monster, I am not losing it in a way like this! From my hand, I activate the Trap card, Vendread Berserk!" yelled Bastion as he played a Trap that had an image of Revendread Slayer crushing the head of a Vendread zombie with a single punch as it used one of the bones sticking out of him to pierce through several rapid animals with his head shining with fury.

[Vendread Berserk: Trap - If a Revendread monster is involved in battle: Target 1 monster on your side of the field and tribute it. Your Revendread monster gains those amount of attack points it was sacrificed for. You can activate this card from your hand and if you do, set 1 Vendread Spell and Trap card from your hand. You can activate the turn it was set. Your Revendread Monster cannot activate its effect while it is on the field for the rest of the turn.]

"Even though it won't be enough for it to be stopped, I will stop the damage the best that I can do! I can tribute one monster on my side of the field so that my Revendread Monster, that is involved in battle, will gain the attack points of the tributed monster! I tribute my Scar Of The Vendread!" yelled Bastion as Revendread Slayer cut the head of Scar Of The Vendread with one of its bones.

Revendread Slayer: 1650 - 3950 attack points

"The sad part is that I can not activate Revendread Slayer's effect while it is on the field, but I will lower the damage output!" yelled Bastion as Dark Rebellion flew straight across Revendread Slayer as the Ritual Monster stopped it as it grabbed onto its fangs in a way to show how fierce it was, as well as stopping its momentum for a brief moment.

That was sadly not enough for him to stop the attack as the sheer might of the ferocious dragon made Slayer be pushed back for a moment as it was then electrocuted from the mouth, making the Ritual Monster scream in anguish, however the grip was strong enough to not let go, which only meant for Dark Rebellion to charge up a beam from it mouth which was then shot straight to the head, mutilating the Warrior with ease.

Bastion: 2300 - 2100 lp

Celina: 850 lp

Bastion breathed in as two cards popped out of his duel disk as he then took them, "When Scar is sent to the graveyard, I am allowed to add a Vendread Monster, so I will add Vendread Daybreak while Revendread Slayer allows me to add a Ritual Spell card from my deck to my hand when it is sent to the graveyard." he then took them.

When Bastion added the two cards from his hand, he grabbed onto one of his cards, "Now, here is the interesting part of Vendread Berserk! When it is activated from the hand, I am allowed to set 1 Vendread Trap from my hand to the field and I am allowed to activate it!" A card was vertically set on the field.

"Like that even matters, Clear Wing Synchro Dragon finish him off!" yelled Celina as she then pointed at her foe, "Clear Wi-"

"Not so fast, I activate this card! Vendread Reorigin!" yelled Bastion which the set card then jumped towards the Synchro Monster, taking Celina by surprise when that happened. "I target 1 Face up monster you control that has a level and then, it is sent to the graveyard!" Then, it began to spread like a virus, taking full control of Clear Wing Synchro Dragon as then it shined bright enough to explode upon impact

"Then, I am allowed to special summon a Vendread Token with the same level as the tributed monster!" yelled Bastion as then a small parasite appeared on the field, which had the look of a pink blob with a single eye for a reference, before it began to move around, as if it were bacteria.

(Vendread Token: Level 7 - Dark Zombie - Attack: 0. Defense: 0.)

"You… You sent one of my strongest monsters just like that?!" yelled Celina in shock as Bastion smirked.

"That's right. Even if I managed to lose one of my best monsters, I won't lose the duel like that." said Bastion with a smirk on his face.

Celina sighed, "Fine… I will set a card and end my turn." a card was vertically set behind Dark Rebellion XYZ Dragon and Lunalight White Rabbit.

Turn 7. Bastion - 2100 lp - 5 cards

The turn of the tides have been battling ever since Celina first drew a card from her deck that allowed her to draw 3 cards, as he was impressed that she was able to beat almost all of his defenses in a single turn while almost being able to beat him in one turn, however, Bastion knew that wasn't enough for him to give up just yet. He has a full hand at the current moment, one that shall give him the strength to push forward

Bastion reached out for his dec-

"I am sorry, Bastion, but I… I can not wait, I just need to say this." he was stopped by a voice from a familiar fellow as he, along with most of the people around him, turned to the boy that said, which was Jaden.

"Oh? Are you sure Jaden?" Bastion asked with an interested tone, wondering what he wanted to say.

Jaden nodded, with a solemn look on his face, which most people knew that something was up, which was something that they didn't like. Yusuke was the only one that got an inkling of a thought of what he might say. "Y-Yeah. I need to say what I have been thinking for the past few minutes and I just…. Don't think I can keep them in anymore."

Bastion narrowed his eyes as then he sighed. Bastion smiled as he looked at his friend, "I see, well go ahead. Speak, we are all ears." said Bastion.

"Thanks a bunch." Jaden smiled at what Bastion did to him, even if it was something small.

"Anytime." Bastion nodded. The attention was on Jaden, which for the rare times, he didn't enjoy that fact.

Jaden took a deep breath before he began, "Okay, I have to say this… Celina…" Jaden looked at her in the eyes, to which she looked at him with narrowed eyes, "I know that you are not yourself right now, but I have to ask…. Why are you using those monsters?! How did you get them?! Don't you remember what he did with them, what happened to others when he used them?"

Syrus looked at him in a confused, yet worried tone "Jay, what do you mean by that?" What did imply with that sentence? What disasters did those monsters do? At best he could think that they worked with the Sacred Beasts, and even then, he looked didn't hate those monsters or seem scared when facing them, so this was a weird thing to react to.

"What I mean is, Sy, is that those monsters that she is using weren't hers, but rather…" Jaden gritted his teeth at the mere thought of the Venom Rider, still encased in his brain, like a memory he wants to forget, "someone of whom I still can not forget, no matter how long it has been. Someone that hurt everyone around him like an unstoppable monster, someone that not a force here that could stop it!"

Everyone, with only a few exceptions, looked at him with pure confusion, shock and… fear in their eyes as there was something frightening about someone whose personality is mainly due to him being a massive dueling fan to be scared of something being summoned, or rather, by someone that he deeply cared for and hated seeing it being used for creating violence in a game he loved.

Yusuke sighed as he still remembered the shock he had when he saw him be one of the few people that have managed to beat Zane in a duel, while outnumbered 2 to 1, a feat that almost no duelist can achieve. Sartorius placed a hand under his chin with interest complimenting his face as while he was aware of those dragons and the Venom Rider through different methods, he wasn't aware of the impact he let on those that were still affected from him, especially one of the few survivors. The Duel Monsters were silent for the most part.

Celina, though, had no reaction as her hair was covering her eyes. As for a second she could see herself in a world that had almost nothing to its own name, but the Light, as at the epicenter of it, was her with dull eyes, being surrounded with mirrors from different people.

"And yet… and yet, you have them, those cards that give me creeps more than anything and I hate the image of using monsters that were created to destroy by someone I care about! It is something I can't stand looking at!" Jaden screamed as he gripped his fist into a ball as he could feel tears going down his face, as he had to wipe them off as quickly as possible. Then his body stilted, that of a statue as he could feel a sting in his head, "That is not mentioning that… I feel chills, like I have deja vu about a previous time, of the images of those monsters with you… it doesn't feel right and it hurts my brain. A lot."

Neos looked at him with worry in his eyes, as he placed his hand on his shoulder "Haou…" he muttered a name, remembering a time before she came along and destroyed everything.

Jaden then shook his head as he then looked at Celina with eyes that were a mix of sadness and hope, hope that no matter what, she is still in was what Jim said, at least, "So please…. tell me how do you have them?"

Celina was silent for a moment, back into reality and away from the void filled with The Light surrounding her. Celina then raised her head to reveal her eyes.

"You want to know why and how I have them?" Celina asked him a question.

Jaden nodded.

"It is pretty simple, I had them for months," that single answer made several people gasp, "for several months in fact and yet, I never really knew that fact, in the slightest, and it was after the fact that I beat him that I got these beasts of nature, and I felt stronger for no apparent reason up until now and it was refreshing to know that I didn't have a headache every once in a while as I heard constant roaring in my ears." Celina chuckled to herself, remembering how foolish she was for ignoring those roars in the back of her head, as she should have been more observant.

"It was actually something new, it was almost as if they were calling to me, calling back their master, the one true ruler of them all so that their reign of terror could continue," Celina continued as Neos fought every single cell in his body to remain in tact so that he could respect his wishes, even if it is against his worst foe, "as nothing would stand in their way and if it weren't for one fact, I would have stayed the same for months… years, maybe even for the rest of my life and that is when I realized it once I saw it."

Jaden gulped, afraid of the answer that may fall "What did you see?"

"I saw The Light." she grinned alike a predator looking at her next pray, "The Light was my one savior, the one that shall eradicate all things that oppose to it and I couldn't have been more thankful to it and Master Sartorius for allowing me to realize the true capacity of my power, my real potential as a duelist and as a being of pure power! Do you hear now, darling? It is because I see the Light that I am able to use these dragons to their absolute power And I will use this to eradicate all things that oppose it!"

Sartorius looked at the situation with a massive grin on his face, lavishing the sheer horror in everyone's faces, even those of whom were in the Society Of Light, as the power that she exerted was just a fragment of her true capabilities and he knew that in the future, no matter what, she will become stronger.

"Do you finally realize it?! From the verge of defeat, I finally grasped the true essence of my capabilities! The reason that you are all going to see the Light is that you couldn't have gotten there in time!" Celina grinned, "THIS IS ONLY THE START!" she said with a wicked grin, that of a demon looking down at the poor souls that tried to fight against it, and in this case, it was someone by the name of Bastion Misawa.

Everyone looked at the situation with sheer horror in the faces, as they knew that currently, Celina is the most dangerous being on the Island at the current moment, her dueling strength on par with some of the strongest duelists around, even matching that of Yusuke and Aster at the same time, maybe even surpassing them.

"...Bastion…" Jaden said as the Ra Yellow turned to him.

"Yeah?" Bastion asked.

"Please, for the love of everything… beat her and save her… I beg of you." Jaden begged in a voice that sounded wrong to hear from a person that was known as one of the cheeriest people in the whole world.

Bastion nodded as he then placed his fingers on the top of his deck, "Don't worry, I will win this turn! I draw!" Bastion roared as he then drew the top card of his deck with a power of a hundred trained samurais, knocking the wind out of a few people that were around him as from the corner of his eyes, he saw the card he drew and it was a perfect card should he need as a counter measure.

"I send the card I just drew from my hand to the graveyard," Began Bastion as he sent the card from his hand to the graveyard as a card popped from his deck, "So that thanks to Vendread Nights, I am allowed to add 1 Vendread card from my deck to my hand, and the monster I will choose is my Revendread Executor!" Bastion took the card that he had from his deck.

"This will be the perfect card for this turn! The two cards I have in my hand, while not having that much power, will be good for recovery for the next turn if there is a chance I do not end this turn, while the other parts of the deck will be perfect for my victory!" Bastion thought in his head with a smirk in his head as he took a card from his hand, "I play the Ritual Spell card, Revendread Evolution!"

A massive dark purple circle appeared on the field as it covered the whole sky above them, over the Vendread Nights. "I can use this card to Ritual Summon any Vendread Monster I want whose level is exact to the monster I am summoning! This time, I will tribute from my hand the Level 1 Vendread Core and on my field the Level 7 Vendread Token!"

The two monsters then transformed into purple coloured data as it then flew upwards to the night's sky, hitting the massive circle as it covered 8 of the 12 circles that had the head of Revendread Slayer as they then cut the circle in half with Celina narrowing her eyes as a being got his hand from the hands out of the circle as it then crashed down towards the field.

Bastion then began to chant, "The Avenger Of The Night, upon seeing the visage of his loved one, began to burn with might and bloodlusted rage! From the rage, it evolves into an executioner of all evil! I Ritual Summon! Level 8! FIGHT AND EVOLVE!" Then the figure rose up with pure annihilation in his mind. It was Revendread Slayer, however, it was far more powerful than before.

His blue skin was now that of crimson blood red coloured, with his eyes shining like a Blood Moon, with the bones of the destroyed zombies acting like armour as it covered most of his body with a devil's skull used around his shoulders, with his orange coloured scarf now being downed as a sapphire blue. The bones around him were that of Zombie, Dragon-like skeleton arms that went around the entire body, ready for murder. "Revendread Executor!"

(Revendread Executor: Ritual - Level 8 - Dark Zombie - Attack: 3000. Defense: 0.)

Their jaws were practically on the floor, looking at the monster made for pure destruction as the look of the monster was nothing more, but a showcase of pure might that most people would not have expected from Bastion.

"Okay, that is sick." complimented Skye as Alexis silently wondered why he kept having the coolest monsters around.

"Thank you for the kind words, as he has an effect that is pretty simple to understand! When this Ritual Summoned monster is on the field, you are no longer able to target a card that I have in possession with the exception of him!" yelled Bastion as while it was a simple effect, it does prove to be a difficult move to get around as if she draws into a card like Mystical Space Typhoon, it would be an useless card to draw into.

"Alright, seems simple." said Celina as Bastion smiled.

"Aww man! If Bastion manages to get an attack off her, he will win and save everyone from the Society Of Light!" cheered Syrus with a smile on his face.

"You can do this, Private! If you accomplish this task, you will be updated as Sargent!" yelled Hassleberry with a grin on his face.

"Well, let's see if you would call this simple! Revendread Executor will attack and destroy your Lunalight White Rabbit!" Bastion thrusted his arm forward as Revendread Executor jumped forward as he used his massive bone arms to propel him above the ground as he winded up his fist back into his body for a full on effect that would knock even a god from rage as he then flew downwards by using the same tactic as before, but on the air so that he could land a powerful punch. "Execution! Extermination!"

However…

Celina grinned, "You think I wouldn't have been prepared for this?! I activate my Negate Attack!"

"AHH SHIT!" Aster cursed beneath his teeth as a barrier began to form with Celina smirking.

"You already know the effect of this card, so I will cut it short. Your Battle is over for the turn!" yelled Celina as when the barrier was formed, Revendread Executor's punch was cut off short as the punch created a shockwave on both sides and yet no matter the power of the punch, it didn't even crack the barrier.

Bastion sighed as he inwardly cursed in his mind, "I end my turn with 2 cards set face down," two cards were vertically set backwards of Revendread Executor, who quickly returned to Bastion after the attack failed.

Turn 8. Celina - 850 lp - 1 card

"As the saying goes: So close, yet," Celina placed her fingers at the top of her deck as she could feel that no matter what in this turn, she will achieve a perfect victory with a grin of a wild animal, "so far! I Draw!" yelled Celina as she drew the top card of her deck as she then looked at it with a nod.

Bastion gulped, knowing that no matter what happens at the current moment, he has to play his cards to a perfect degree so that he doesn't lose the game, and that he could save everyone and cut down the Society Of Light for good. With the cards in place, he has a good opportunity for a victory with a massive number of life points, unlike most duelists in the game's history.

"This will be helpful later on, however, I will start with this!" a card popped out of her graveyard to which Celina took it without even questioning it, "While Lunalight Yellow Marten is in my graveyard, I am allowed to special summon this monster by returning a Lunalight Monster from my field to the hand, however it is banished once it leaves the field!" yelled Celina.

Lunalight White Rabbit disappeared into data as then from her place, appeared Lunalight Yellow Marten in defense mode.

(Lunalight Yellow Marten: Level 4 - Dark Beast-Warrior - Attack: 800. Defense: 2000.)

"That is not enough! I will now normal summon from my hand, Lunalight White Rabbit!" yelled Celina as then on the field appeared Lunalight White Rabbit for the second time this duel .She was in defense mode.

(Lunalight White Rabbit: Level 2 - Dark Beast-Warrior - Attack: 800. Defense: 800.)

"Then I activate her effect once more! When she is normal summoned, I am allowed to special summon a Lunalight monster that is currently in my graveyard!" a card popped out of Celina's graveyard to which she took it, "This will be a great one! Appear, and emerge! Lunalight Blue Cat!"

(Lunalight Blue Cat: Level 4 - Dark Beast-Warrior - Attack: 1600. Defense: 1200.)

"Okay, I have to admit," They turned to Aster, who even he was impressed with her skills, "That is an actual good plan."

Yusuke raised his hand next to his mouth as he bit on his thump, "That is not even mentioning White Rabbit's other effect. With her effect, Bastion might be pushed to utmost of his limits."

"It takes no rocket scientist to know what card she would target." Sora replied.

"Here is I wanted to tell you something, I could have used the effect of White Rabbit last turn to return Non-Fusion Area to the hand, though I didn't to show you that I could have finished you off without it, and it seems that now… the gloves are gone. Now, I am going to hit you like a truck!" yelled Celina as she pointed at the Continuous Trap card that Bastion has on the field.

"I activate Lunalight White Rabbit's effect! For every other Lunalight Monster I control, one of your Spell and Trap cards are going straight to the hand! Since I control two, you will now return from the field your Non-Fusion Area and that set card on my left!" yelled Celina as then White Rabbit grabbed onto her massive hammer and began to swing it around until she then hopped straight ahead.

Bastion, upon realizing that if one of his Set cards return to the hand, he won't be able to use one of his cards in the graveyard, chimed in, "Not so fast! I activate my set card! Emergency Provisions!" yelled Bastion as Celina narrowed her eyes seeing that card. "With this, I can target any number of Spell and Trap cards on the field and remove them, so that I can gain 1000 life points for every card! I send my Non-Fusion Area, Vendread Nights and my set card to the graveyard!"

When Lunalight White Rabbit reached Bastion's destination and field, she then hosted her hammer upwards and delivered a downwards strike. The second she did that, Non-Fusion Area was turned into particles alike of being eaten by a small child with the set card as well. The buildings around everyone were then being chewed out until every atom of it was fully consumed. Returning it to the Society Of Light's dorm.

Bastion: 2100 - 5100 lp

Celina: 850 lp

"Oh that was pretty smart, now even if she attacks with her monsters on the field, she can't deal that much damage." commented Ray as he noted the sheer difference of life points that they had.

While Celina wasn't enthusiastic of him gaining even more life points than before, she was glad that she was now able to Fusion Summon monsters for the rest of the turn and with her two cards in her hand, it will be possible, "I will show you that life points aren't everything! As now, I will play this famous card! Monster Reborn!" They gritted their teeth seeing that card.

"With this, I am allowed to revive any monster from either of our graveyards, so appear! My Synchro Dragon! Clear Wing Synchro Dragon!" yelled Celina as then from the ground flew the massive Synchro Dragon, roaring with might and making almost everyone, except for Revendread Executor and Sartorius, flinch.

(Clear Wing Synchro Dragon: Synchro - Level 7 - Wind Dragon - Attack: 2500. Defense: 2000.)

"Two Dimension Dragons…" Said Honest as he could feel that this was going to become worse for everyone, including for Neos.

Celina grabbed the last card in her hand, which confirmed what Neos had in mind on what she is going to do, "Time for me to rev everything up! I activate Polymerization! This card allows me to Fusion Summon a monster by using monsters on the field or hand as Fusion Materials!" Then, both White Rabbit and Yellow Marten turned into red and blue data as they then began to circle around each other until they smacked into each other.

"By combinig the illumination of a white rabbit with the speed of a marten, I can create a new botanical legend! I Fusion Summon! Starving Venom Fusion Dragon!" as then, on the field appeared a monster that angered Neos upon no repair as his face turned that into pure rage.

It was a dragon more poisonous than all of the other monsters combined. Its tail was something of a scythe, long as the biggest snake and dark as the abyss. Its claws were stronger than most metal around. It was as big as the Dark Rebellion XYZ Dragon and Clear Wing Synchro Dragon and looked as strong as them. It was covered by massive purple orbs, with the skin on the wings, the fingers, the head and eyes the deepest shade of purple. It roared, shaking the Earth around it. Then, all three of the Dimensional Dragons roared in power, making even those of pure strength, to shield themselves from the power that they produced with Neos being the only one that was not affected by it.

(Starving Venom Fusion Dragon: Fusion - Level 8 - Dark Dragon - Attack: 2800. Defense: 2000.)

And then they were, the three Dimensional Dragons that managed to rain hell on several duelists when they were dueling her as the three dragons omitted more energy and power than even that of some of the strongest monsters in the whole game, and the ones that Neos swore to defeat once he sees them as he was seething in anger. His entire being shook as if he was being electrocuted with the sounds of his teeth grinding being that of a drill and the energy around him was pure of Duel Monster energy.

"They are here." The Grand Jupiter saw the three Dragons roaring in succession, "Three Dimensional Dragons."

While Neos was seething in anger he took one glance at his master…

and all of the hate vanished as he saw the pure horror that Jaden had in his eyes. Seeing the three Dragons that almost decimated the entire Academy Island of students and teachers and could've killed the people he cared about if Celina didn't win the duel, and they were at her possession.

The Sacred Beasts didn't scare him compared to this.

Neos looked at him, as he remembered the look of Young Haou in front of him and sighed with sadness. "No matter what I do… I always see you as him. I promise." Neos muttered to himself to the point even Honest couldn't hear him, "I promise I will save her for you. Even if I won't feel good about myself about it, as long as you are happy… that is all that matters."

Neos, in his heart, promised that he will try to save her, no matter the cost.

The attention was brought back towards Celina as she yelled out, "When Starving Venom Fusion Dragon is Fusion Summoned, he gains the attack of every Special Summoned monster on the field!" Bastion gasped as he took a step backwards from hearing that effect, "You control 1 monster, so my Starving Venom Fusion Dragon gains 3000 attack points!" Starving Venom Fusion Dragon roared in full power as he glowed for a long while.

Starving Venom Fusion Dragon: 2800 + 3000 = 5800 attack points

Then they looked at the power that Celina possessed in one field. She had a monster that permanently has the attack of half of the monster it stole from, a monster that could negate a monster's effect, destroy it and even gain attack points upon destroying it, a monster that gains attack to every monster that is special summoned which could be in ludacris numbers and a monster that floats into a monster that could be a good use to her.

They knew.

This was the power of the Society Of Light.

"This was fun, Bastion, but this is where it all ends!" Celina roared to the heavens as she thrusted her arm forward as she had a massive grin on her face, "Battle! Starving Venom Fusion Dragon destroy that Revendread Executor! Malicious Stream of Destruction!" yelled Celina as then the monster began to open up its mouth, to reveal several sets of teeth like a venus trap as they could see a beam of light charging up.

To which Bastion grinned.

"What's so funny?" asked Celina.

"Oh nothing, just that I have the perfect card for the situation! And it is in my graveyard!" a card shined from Bastion's graveyard to which Sartorius widened his eyes at.

"I see, so even at the face of destruction, he still challenges fate. How brave, even if it is pointless in the end." said Sartorius as Bastion took a card from his graveyard.

"The card I choose is my Transaction Rollback!" Hassleberry narrowed his eyes remembering that Trap that beat him, "I got this strategy from Hassleberry's duel so I decided to follow that up! This card, for the price of paying half of my life points, I am allowed to activate any Normal Trap from my graveyard!" yelled Bastion as he took a Trap from his graveyard as he glew blue for a moment.

Bastion: 5100 - 2550 lp

Celina: 850 lp

"The only Traps that I remember him using was Vendread Berserk and Vendread Origin." said Aster as he narrowed his eyes, "Vendread Berserk is pointless since he only controls one monster."

"While Vendread Origin could work out for a body on the field before dying, but with everything that she has played, she probably has a counter for that in them." said Chazz through gritted teeth.

"Oh no, gentlemen, you got it all wrong! I have one more Trap I have yet to use and here it is! VENDREAD DAYBREAK!" Bastion roared to the heavens with a massive grin on his face, as it then shined upon as if it were a beacon at a dark night, waiting to shine through even the darkest of days.

"The effect is simple. When this card is activated, I have to fulfill one requirement. You have to have more cards than I do, and since you control 4 and I control 1, that means I can use it perfectly!" Bastion explained as he pointed at his Revendread Executor, "One Ritual Monster on my side of the field is immune to one effect and that is: All cards are now destroyed!" Bastion yelled out, shocking everyone around, with the exception of Sartorius.

"WHAT!?" yelled everyone.

"That is insane!"

"No way!"

"If this is possible then-"

"Bastion won!"

"He saved the day!"

"Way to go, man!"

"Goodbye, Celina. Even though due to Revendread Evolution, it will be destroyed this turn as well, I will make sure that right here, I will beat all of your dragons! GO! Revenge Execution!" yelled Bastion as Revendread Executor will live up to his name as he jumped forward towards the 4 monsters as they were all taken aback from the speed.

Revendread Executor shut open Starving Venom Fusion Dragon's mouth by using his Skeletal Dragon Arm at his back to punch him in the mouth, as the energy from the mouth began to charge up the dragon from the inside making it explode. Clear Wing Synchro Dragon tried to charge forward at the Executor, only for him to evade the upcoming attack, used his skeletal arm to crush the dragon into bits as he crushed him, and its bones.

Revendread Executor then threw it at Dark Rebellion XYZ Dragon, as the monster managed to shoot it down with purple electricity, however Revendread Executor disappeared and reappeared behind him and punched with enough ferocity to crack its back and to send it flying. Revendread Executor ran up to Lunalight Blue Cat and sucker punched it right at the jaw, creating a massive explosion as a result.

That was the result of the fool power of Revendread Executor as it then fell down once it accomplished its mission in a few minutes, as it decided to take a breather as Bastion pointed up to the sky as a way to show the victor of this bout, alike of that of The Chazz once he won a duel, to which the cocky duelist allowed it since it was an awesome showing.

Bastion Misawa is now the only duelist in the game's history to be fully able to take down all of the Dimensional Dragons at once, despite everything, despite the combined efforts of Zane and Celina a few months ago, only he was able to win a duel doing an impressive feat that earned everyone's respect as it deserves to be moment everyone should remember.

Everyone grinned seeing this as Bastion was no exception.

"Everyone, I did it. I defeated the Society Of Light all on my own! I managed to accomplish it! Everyone will now acknowledge me! I saved everyone!" Bastion thought as that of a victor, with happiness ringing his entire being.

"Impressive, however…" Sartorius looked at Celina, who was deadly silent the entire time, "This will end in victory… other than yours."

While they were cheering for Bastion, Jaden and Yusuke remembered one detail about one of the monsters.

"Bastion…" Bastion turned to Jaden and instead of seeing happiness in his eyes, he only saw horror in his eyes, "Please tell me that your monster can negate effect damage!"

Bastion's eyes shot up, as everyone's did.

"WHAT?! What do you mean by that?!" yelled Bastion as then he could hear it.

The laughter of the true winner of this fight.

It started off slow, "Hehehehehehehehehehehe…." as he could saw how Celina looked as if she was shaking, but instead she was acting like Jaden. The only difference? When he did it, it was kinda charming, when she is doing it? Genuine fear in their eyes as once she rose her head in the sky, that is when all hell breaks all loose.

"AHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAH! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHA!" Celina's laughter erupted from her lungs, breaking almost every limit that the human body could handle and going beyond what they should have been doing, as it was that of a Demon of the Night, a feeling that was like that of the Venom Rider, as it was more terrifying than the monsters themselves.

"I admit it… you played a good duel, however, your best is not even close to my own!" Bastion then saw from the remains of Starving Venom Fusion Dragon was a small bud that began to grow on its own, growing in size of an actual bomb as this time, it was a real one. A real plant bomb.

"When you activated Vendread Daybreak," Celina began as even Revendread Executor turned around and fell on his back from what he is seeing, "Starving Venom Fusion Dragon was destroyed which triggered his effect. That is that all of your monsters are destroyed and you… take the damage equal to their attack!"

"WHAT?!" almost everyone screamed in shock.

"As they say, Sayonara!" Celina then threw her arms away as a way it looked like she was welcoming someone, "AND HELLO TO THE SOCIETY OF LIGHT!"

"EVERYONE! HIT THE DECK!" yelled Hassleberry as then he grabbed onto Syrus and Ray and began to run away, which almost everyone decided to do except for Celina, Alexis, Skye and Sartorius who all stood there.

Then the explosion hit…

…and the ecosystem was almost devastated from the sheer impact of it.

All of the gang were own the floor, taking several breaths to try recover from that as Aster dusted off the dust from his suit as he looked at Jaden, who was down on the ground, there was a massive crater which only person was at the epicenter of, the grass was gone, the dirt was around at every corner, the water almost burnt to a crisp, however the only things that weren't even touched were the Society Of Light and the dorm.

At the epicenter of the crater was Bastion Misawa, laying down on his back. Groaning from the pain.

Bastion: 2550 - 0 lp

Celina: 850 lp

CELINA BOYLE: WINNER!

"I won." Celina said as she turned off her duel disk, "That was… tougher than I expected." She took a deep breath as she smiled, "But fun. It was tough and fun."

"I'll say. I would say you had way too much fun with that duel." commented Alexis as she walked towards her friend with her arms crossed.

"Not to mention that you had to try your hardest with your Main Gimmick to be locked for almost the entire duel." said Skye as Celina rolled her eyes.

"Yeah, yeah, I get it. I still managed to come up on top." said Celina as she placed her cards back into her deck and then at her deck box.

"It doesn't matter for now," said Sartorius as they turned to him as he walked towards them, "All that matters is that you won the duel, even if you had a handicap for a large part of the duel. It goes to show that you can not outrun fate, to matter who you are." said Sartorius as from the corner of his eyes, he noticed that some of the gang were trying their best to get back up from the massive explosion.

Celina noticed this, "They are waking up."

"Then let's not waste any time with our new friend, shall we?" asked Sartorius as he walked towards the crater on the ground as he then slid down the crater, alongside Skye, Celina and Alexis, with the last one trying to keep her balance alike the first one.

"Are you good?" asked Skye to her friend to which she nodded.

"Yeah, just not used to these slides." said Alexis as they then walked towards Bastion, who began to open up his eyes to the sounds of them walking.

"Who…" Bastion coughed trying to open his eyes and register what happened. "Or what happened? My head," he coughed once more, "hurts."

"You lost," said Celina as she walked towards him, "After giving me a good fight, not bad."

"Oh can it with your charity, I do not want to hear it," said Bastion as he used his remaining strength left to raise himself upwards, "After what you lot did? No thank you."

Sartorius didn't falter, "Actually, we are here to welcome you to the Society Of Light."

"You lie," Bastion turned to him with a mix of anger and sadness in his eyes, "If you truly did want to welcome me, why didn't you come over to me for an invitation?" Bastion sighed, "EIther way, I would have denied."

"Is that what you believe? How foolish of you." said Sartorius as he looked at them with a look to say that they should let him do the talking, "If there is any truth to that, it is that I wanted you to come over to the Society Of Light."

"You wanted me to come? Then why didn't you send one of your followers to me for a duel?" asked Bastion as it was a good question to be asked.

"That is a simple reason. If one of them challenged you to a duel, you wouldn't have been prepared for a duel, which would falter your skills, thought and choices in the duel which would have resulted in you dueling horribly." Sartorius explained, "I noticed that you are at your strongest when you are prepared for a duel, no matter the opponent, so I wanted to give you time so that you could pick your opponent."

Bastion blinked as he thought that over, "Is that so…"

"That is correct, your dueling skills are good, but your intellect is in another level. There are hardly any duelists or even people that are on this Earth that could operate as well as you did," began Sartorius as he knelt towards him, "You are one of the best duelists I have seen and I was ecstatic to see you challenging me and dueling Celina, so I could see how strong of a duelist you are."

Bastion gritted his teeth as he kept hearing him talk, "I lost that duel."

"Maybe, but everyone loses at times even if there are tiny things, fate is that way to many people, fate can write a win or a loss, even if it was at your grasp, your very fingertips, and you lost it." Sartorius gently told him, "Fate could have been on your side to win the duel, however it was on someone's side."

Bastion looked at him with a confused, yet understanding look, "Are you saying that-"

"That is right. I won because it was my fate to win," said Celina as she reached her hand towards him, "And the same will apply to you if you join the Society Of Light, Bastion."

"I… I don't know."

"That is fine," began Skye as she reached out her hand as well, "All of us feel the same way when we first joined the Society Of Light, until we realized that it was for the best of us. Something that might change us forever. In a more positive way."

Alexis reached down as well, "Join us Bastion, if all you need is recognition for everything you do, then that is what you are going to get, anything that your heart desires."

Sartorius smiled at the hesitation of Bastion, "What do you say, Bastion? If you join, I will create a rank for you. You will be known as The Ra White. Someone that people can respect and recognize as their friend, their brother, their comrade."

A world and a group where people recognized him.

No matter what the world or people they were.

That sounded like Paradise for Bastion Misawa as then he saw a bright shinning light as Sartorius grinned like a wild animal.

"I see it." said Bastion as he then stood up.

"What do you see?" asked Sartorius, already knowing the answer.

"THE LIGHT!" yelled Bastion with a grin on his face as the people around the crater realized one thing.

Bastion Misawa, their friend…

…was gone.

Bastion became The Ra White.

Authors Note:

Hi guys, I am VERY sorry for how long this shit has taken me, but look on the bright side! You get an almost 30k word Chapter!... I need a life, lol. So yeah, it has been a while so let me explain what shit happened. Basically, College. I applied to it and I am in College so do not expect frequent uploads from now on. They will be updated, just not as before, okay? They will be slow.

Okay, so the shit that happened in this chapter was just insane, if I am being honest. I had to make scenes about the Filler stuff because that is something I always enjoyed, even though I won't write them. At all. The Alice Unsworth reference is to Dorothy Unsworth from Black Clover and Max Keeble is a reference to SML Movie: Junior Goes To Jupiter. It was a lot of fun to write Aster popping the hell off. I wrote a small scene with Celina being so god damn confused on why every guy is in love with her, which is a fair question in Canon, and Declan being mentioned.

The Bastion portion of the chapter though? A lot of fun. The Scene of Aster and Jaden talking about their luck is thanks to Astelix, which was a fun discussion to make, while I did work with Canon a lot, it wasn't a word for word copy, which I think is kinda cheap to do. The Deck I choose for Bastion and for the duel is Vendread! Why? Because it is a reference to Manga Bastion, who used Yokai monsters in the Manga, which was weird, but I respect it.

The Duel was a lot of fun to write, actually. The reason why is because Lunalights are decently fun to write, but I did like working with a new Deck for once and I took full advantage of it. Everyone is now aware that she has the Dimensional Dragons, which Neos will try to save her, even if he can not stand Serena. I do plan on making Jaden and Yusuke FINALLY talk about Yuri which will be difficult for me to write it, but I think I can manage. I have at least 3 scenes planned for that chapter, and there will be no duels.

There were a bit of meta gags of it which are problems with the story itself, and I was kinda thinking about closing it off, but nah. I will push forward until the end of it. Even if I want to continue the Black Clover Story more than anything (GIVE ME ONE MORE CHAPTER STAR MAGIC!). Also new Arcana Force monsters are out, which are neat, HOWEVER! WHAT THE FUCK AM I SUPPOSED TO DO WITH ARCANA FORCE THE HIEROPHANT! I ALREADY HAVE ONE IN THE STORY, BUT I WANT TO ADD IT! WHAT DO I DO!?

The new Black Clover Chapter is up, Chapter 372 and Chapter 373, and I thought it was really well made. I loved the art, I loved Nozel's new Spell [Silver Guardian], I loved how Nebra and Solid finally apologized to Noelle and I loved how Acier was taken out, but I think it was a bit too… early for it. The fight only lasted like… 4 chapters and I kinda wished there were more Acier's Spells and even a combo Spell, but it is what it is.

I have began reading Kagurabachi (PEAK!) and I am where Chihiro is battling Kyora, Dragon Ball where Goku beat the Devil (Yes that is Canon), Bleach where Ichigo is fighting Ikkaku, Black Clover where Drowa is defeated, and I have began watching Bungo Stray Dogs (Currently at Season 4 Episode 4.) and I have been FUCKING READY FOR COUR 3 OF BLEACH! LET'S GOOO!

I think that is about it, so see ya!
