Sailor Moon Fan Fiction / Crossover Fan Fiction / Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Monster GX Fan Fiction ❯ Yu-Gi-Oh GX Digi-Stars: Twilight Wars ❯ The Avatars of Darkness ( Chapter 18 )

Well, I've got to say that my story is just as popular as ever! I'm sorry that it took so long to get that chapter! I'll try to get other chapters out faster, but when my final semester winds down and I have to find a job, it might prove a bit more difficult, but I will try my best. With over 130 reviews, this story has become a great success so far. Now, to answer a question, Sasuke is going to get the Mangekyo Sharingan, but he isn't going to kill a `best friend' in order to get it. Remember, it seems like killing your best friend is the way to get the Mangekyo, but Kakashi got his without doing that. And yes, I know that Myotismon's attack is not Grizzly Nightmare because this is new updated version for Myotismon because he has gained new and stronger powers. I hope that clears any confusion in the precious chapter. Before I go, I would like to give thanks and credit to Blue-Eyes White Knight for the idea of Jordan's `true dark side' and his `connection' to Serena as `Supreme Queen-Bastet' as their `past life history'.

Yu-Gi-Oh GX Digi-Stars: Twilight Wars

 

Chapter 18: The Avatars of Darkness

 

(Returning to our heroes and heroines; briefly after we last left them)

 

Rejoining our heroes and heroines, we find them in a terrible and unbelievable situation where their newest enemy proves be Serena, Davis, and Kagome. They are dressed in radical new dark clothing, sinister demonic-like eyes, green for Kagome, golden for Davis, and silver for Serena, and they are calling themselves by new names: `Supreme Queen-Bastet' for Serena, `Chaos Pharaoh-Resheph' for Davis, and `Hell Priestess-Izanami' for Kagome. They are unleashing dark auras that are shaking the whole island from their combined powers.

 

Neji says, shocked, “Such power! I never have seen such power from anyone!”

 

Tsunade says, stunned, “Neither have I! Their chakra is so sinister that not even the Nine-Tailed Fox compares.”

 

Speaking of whom, the Nine-Tailed Fox, also known as Kyuubi, tells Naruto, telepathically, “You had better listen to the old lady, kit! Not even Jingu or I compare to the dark aura that `royal sister' of yours is producing! So, don't be an idiot here!”

 

Naruto yells at Kyuubi, annoyed, “Who are you to say, you damn fleabag?!”

 

Kyuubi yells at Naruto, in its demonic angered tone, “Because I've been around far long than you, you little brat! I was only sealed in you on the day that you were born, idiot! I've got experience and knowledge beyond your imagination! So, shut up and watch your damn mouth!” Kyuubi then bangs the bars of his `cage' inside of Naruto's body and mind causing Naruto to hold his head in pain.

 

Hinata asks, curiously and concerned tone, “Are you okay, Naruto-kun?”

 

Naruto says, with a winch, “Yeah, I'm fine, Hina-chan.”

 

Sakura asks, with a plain tone, “It is that rotten fox inside of you, isn't it?”

 

Naruto says, with a nod, “Yeah. He can't get out, but he can give me a headache.”

 

Kyuubi roars out, mentally with a demonic strong tone, “I can do more than that Kit and you had better remember it!”

 

Jaden calls out, worriedly, “Serena! Davis! Kagome! What has gotten into you?!”

 

The three `fallen' heroes look at Jaden with dark icy cold stares that are very much similar to Erin's and Yoko Kurama's unnerving Jaden and the Supreme Queen yells out, with a dark icy cold annoyed tone, “You little fool! Your sister is gone! I am not Serena! I am the Supreme Queen!” Just then the Supreme Queen sends a burst of dark energy that knocks Jaden off his feet and he hits the ground on his buttocks hard!

 

Alexis calls out, horrified, “Jaden!”

 

Nyoko asks, stunned, “Serena attacked her own brother!”

 

Melissa tells Nyoko, seriously, “That isn't Serena! It is some kind of dark evil persona that's controlling Serena's body!”

 

Kari says, trembling and with a fearful tone, “The darkness . . .”

 

Tai ask Kari, concerned, “Kari, what's wrong?”

 

Kari tells Tai, with a fearful tone, “The darkness . . . it is so powerful . . . like an endless well of darkness . . . it is so strong . . . so frightening . . .”

 

Yusuke asks, seriously, “Well, what are we going to do?!”

 

Hell Priestess replies, with a dark icy cold tone, “It's simple, you fool. There is nothing you can do, but surrender or die.”

 

Matt says, seriously, “Sorry, but that's not our style!”

 

Chaos Pharaoh then says, with a dark icy cold plain tone, “Then you will fall where you stand, pathetic peon.”

 

Alexis is kneeling over Jaden and she asks him, concerned, “Are you going to be okay, Jay?”

 

Jaden says, with a smile, “I'm okay, Lex. I've experienced worse.” Jaden gets back to his feet and notices Erin clutching her chest slightly as she winches in pain.

 

Syrus asks, nervously, “What is the matter with her?”

 

Melissa says, worriedly and seriously, “This is not good. The immense darkness from those three is causing Erin to lose control of herself.”

 

Rika says, drolly, “Oh, great. Does that mean we will four psychos to deal with?!”

 

Nyoko tells Rika, shocked, “Rika, don't say that about Erin, please!”

 

Erin replies, winching in pain while trying to maintain her ice cold façade, “I shall be just fine, Nyoko. But her eyes become similar in color to Wicked Lady's eyes for a moment.

 

Tsunade thinks in her mind, shocked, “I can't believe that Serena would hold such incredible amounts of darkness, but then again, she has had a harsh history as ninja even through she is the famous `Black Angel'. Death, destruction, pain, torture, and battle were all a part of Serena's life until she returned to mom, dad, and younger brother. This whole incident with that alien freak and all of the pain that he caused her made her inner darkness grew stronger.”

 

Seira thinks in her mind, horrified, “Is this what darkness within Serenity that Mother and Selene-sama warned us about? When I was acting as Serenity's `dark side', I must have been containing this greater `inner darkness' within her that was growing because of all the pain and misery that the Light of Destruction inflicted on her heart! And this darkness is so powerful and horrible!”

 

Takara asks, nervously, “Does anyone have an idea on what to do?”

 

Kakashi says, seriously, “I wish that I could answer you, but the amount of negative chakra that they are producing . . . it is unbelievable.”

 

Jiraiya says, with a serious tone, “Indeed. We must be careful.” However, the closest friends of our three `fallen' heroes are shocked and horrified by what the three of them have `transformed' into.

 

Hotaru says, lowly and horrified, “H-How can this be happening?”

 

Michelle tells Hotaru, also stunned by this `development', “I wish I could tell you, Firefly.”

 

Rei thinks in her mind, stunned, “I never felt such negative aura from anyone before! This is beyond belief! I never thought that Serena of all people would have such dark aura inside of her! Serena's past as a ninja must have been horrible especially from what Orochimaru did nearly killing her and his mom when she was just a little kid. And now, that asshole awoke her `inner darkness' by reopening that horrible wound he left in Serena's mind and heart.”

 

Darien thinks in his mind, looking into the Supreme Queen's sinister silver eyes seeing nothing, but darkness and coldness in them, “Oh, Sere'! What's happening to you?! I never knew that you held such darkness within you! But no matter what, you saved me before and I will bring you back!”

 

TK says, looking into the Chaos Pharaoh's eyes, “I never that Davis would hold such darkness in his heart.”

 

Mimi asks, perplexed, “What can we do?”

 

Chaos Pharaoh replies, with a dark icy cold plain tone, “There is nothing you can do, little girl. Submit to us or you will fall.”

 

TK says, strongly, “Sorry, whoever or whatever you are, that's not our style! We will never give in to you! And we're going to get our friend back!”

 

Chaos Pharaoh says, with a dark icy cold bored tone, “Foolish. Your friend, Daisuke Motomiya, no longer exists. Now, shall we get started.”

 

Supreme Queen says, with a dark cold serious tone, “Don't underestimate them. These peons might be under us, but they are not to be underestimated. Remember, plenty of them are Valkyrie-class Sailor Scouts, the most powerful level of Sailor Scout power. Think this through Bastet and Izanami.”

 

Hell Priestess says, with a dark cold plain tone, “You don't tell us what to do Bastet, but you do have a point. They are very powerful and we won't be foolish to underestimate them.”

 

Chaos Pharaoh nods his head and replies, with a dark cold serious tone, “Indeed.” Chaos Pharaoh tells our heroes and heroines, with a dark cold plain tone, “Don't think that you will be able to defeat us so easily, fools. We won't let our emotions get the better of us, so, `mind-games', as you call them, won't work on us.”

 

Kakashi says, seriously, “Watch it, everyone. They are not going to be fool by simple tricks and we're going to need to use our full power.”

 

Jade yells out, shocked, “Are you saying that we're going to fight them?”

 

Jordan says, stunned, “Even through they aren't in control, that's still Serena-onee-chan, Davis-aniki, and Kagome-kun! We can't fight them!”

 

Melody says, with a serious tone, “Hey, shrimp! That's not that Serena, Davis, and that wench!” Supreme Queen quirks an eyebrow and launches a powerful physic attack at Melody and knocking her to the ground hard!

 

Sango calls out, shocked, “Melody!”

 

Hell Priestess tells Supreme Queen, with a dark cold plain tone, “You were rash, Bastet.”

 

Supreme Queen replies, with a dark cold plain tone, “I didn't know what came over me. It must be a remnant of that Moon Princess. That pathetic weak girl.”

 

Rei says, angrily, “Hey, watch what you say about Serena bitch!”

 

Supreme Queen looks at Rei with her sinister demonic-like silver eyes and Tenchi tell Rei, nervously, “Rei, I don't think you should make her mad.”

 

Rei calls out, strongly, “I don't care if I hurt these wench's feeling! I know that she isn't Serena and I'm getting her back! It is my duty as my princess' guardian and as her best friend, I won't let her go!”

 

Supreme Queen tells Rei, with a dark cold plain tone, “Your foolish feelings for her will get you killed. I will show you no mercy.”

 

Jordan thinks in his mind, strongly, “Rei-chan is right! In order to get Serena-onee-chan back, I have to fight her!” Immediately, Jordan steps forward to face the Supreme Queen.

 

Alexis asks Jordan, shocked, “Jordy, what are you doing?!”

 

Jordan tells Alexis, with a smile, “Don't worry, Alexis-onee-chan, I'll be okay. I'm getting Serena-onee-chan back from the darkness.”

 

Jade tells Jordan, joining him and with a warm smile, “Not alone you aren't, Jordy! Serena is my friend, too, and wherever you go, I will go too.”

 

Jordan says, with a nod, “Thank you, Jade-chan.”

 

Kari says, with a strong tone, “I'm in, too! I've got to get Dai-chan back!”

 

Sora tells Kari, worriedly, “Kari, you can't! He is too powerful for you!”

 

Kari tells Sora, with a strong tone, “I don't care, Sora! I love Dai-chan too much in order to lose him! He fought with everything to save from that freak and his cult!”

 

Ken says, with a nod, “I'm with you, Kari! Davis is my best friend!”

 

Rei says, with a strong tone, “And Serena is mine! No `dark spirit' or whatever inside of her is going to stop me!”

 

Sanosake says, with a serious tone, “And the same goes for Sissy! Inuyasha and all of us fought our hardest to get her back from that cult and we're not going to lose her to some `dark spirit' within her.”

 

Supreme Queen, Chaos Pharaoh, and Hell Priestess think in their minds at the same time, with dark icy cold annoyed tones, “Fools.”

 

Neji says, with a nod and activating his Byakugan, “Yes. In order to free Serena, Davis, and Kagome from the Supreme Queen, Chaos Pharaoh, and Hell Priestess, we will need to fight them.”

 

Atem says, with a nod, “Agreed. Like my situation with Marik and his dark side, in order to save them from their darkness, we need to fight and defeat them.”

 

Chaos Pharaoh says, with a dark icy cold plain tone, “As you wish.”

 

Supreme Queen says, with a dark cold serious tone, “Be it from us to walk away from a challenge. Let us see how strong you truly are.”

 

Bastion tells the others, “Be careful all of you. These three may have the bodies of our friends, but they are not them. And for another thing, they do not `fool around'.”

 

Alexis says, seriously, “We kind of noticed, Bastion.” Just then Jaden winches in pain and Alexis asks, worriedly, “What's wrong?” Just then Jaden's turn from his usual brown into sinister demonic-like golden eyes for a second before returning back to normal.

 

Hell Priestess notices this and she says, with a dark cold plain tone, “So, you are the one. You hold the spirit of Haou.”

 

Jaden asks, perplexed, “Who is Haou?”

 

Chaos Pharaoh replies, with a dark cold serious tone, “Haven't you figured it out, fool? Haou is the Supreme King and your inner darkness.”

 

Jaden asks, stunned, “My darkness?”

 

Supreme Queen replies, with a dark cold plain tone, “Indeed. And he has awoke within you. I'm surprised that you were able to resist him, but it matters not. He is growing inside of you and you can't stop him. Haou will take you over soon enough. He is the ruler of the realms of Duel Monsters and Neo-Space and he can't be stopped.”

 

Ayeka asks, perplexed, “The ruler of Neo-Space?”

 

Washu says, seriously, “I think I know what she is talking about! Remember that legend that Jaden's mother told us about? About the Supreme King?”

 

Sasami asks, perplexed, “So, Jaden is this `Supreme King' that legend was talking about?”

 

Hell Priestess replies, with a dark cold nasty tone, “It is about time that you figured it out, brat. Indeed, the Supreme King lives within Jaden and soon enough, he will get rid of that weak spirited fool.”

 

Jaden says, with a strong tone, “Never!” Just then Jaden yelps in pain as he falls to his knees and a dark aura comes over his body.

 

Alexis yells out, horrified, “Jaden!”

 

Kurama tells Alexis, seriously, “Don't touch him!”

 

Tyranno asks, seriously, “Why not?! The Sarge is in pain! Why can't we help him?!”

 

Kurama says, seriously, “Jaden is producing the same dark aura as the Supreme Queen, Chaos Pharaoh, and Hell Priestess!” Our heroes and heroines gasp in shock and Jaden's eyes turn back and forth from his usual color to the sinister demonic-like golden eyes.

 

A dark voice eerie similar to Jaden tells him, mentally, “You can't keep me contained, Jaden. I only wish to help you.”

 

Jaden replies, mentally, “By what?! Taking over the world and enslaving it for your own sick purposes!”

 

The dark voice replies, with a dark cold plain tone, “The only way to truly defeat evil is to become evil! It is the only way to bring true peace and order to the universe!”

 

Jaden replies, mentally and strongly, “No! I won't believe you! You won't take me over, Haou!”

 

The dark voice, revealed to be Jaden's `true dark side', Haou-the Supreme King, replies, with a dark cold serious tone, “You can't stop me, Jaden. I am a part of you and no matter what you do, I will always remain a part of you!” Jaden yells out in pain as the dark aura intensifies and Alexis immediately grabs one of Jaden's hands and arms, winching in pain as dark aura burns her.

 

Atticus tells Alexis, worriedly, “Lex, what are you doing?!”

 

Alexis says, strongly, “I won't lose Jaden as we already lost Serena, Davis, and Kagome! I just can't stand it!” Alexis tells Jaden, encouragingly, “Jay, please fight back against your darkness! I know that you can do it! You saved a lot of us from that alien freak including me! Jay, I know you can do this! Please, Jay, fight it!” Just then Jaden's golden crescent moon sigil appears on his forehead and he groans as it glows with a golden light causing the dark aura around his body to recede and fade until it was gone.

 

Kakashi thinks in his mind, amazed, “She did it! Something tells me that there is a strong bond between her and Jaden!”

 

Tsunade thinks in her mind, with a sly smile, “Something tells me that those two have `feelings' for each other and she might give Jaden the strength he needs to fight against his own darkness.”

 

Hell Priestess scoffs at this and she says, with a dark cold emotionless tone, “Doesn't matter to us. Haou would have been a threat to our power anyway. But before he does . . .” The Hell Priestess then prepares to launch an attack against Jaden and Alexis, but she is then hit in the face by Melody with a right cross.

 

Melody calls out, nastily, “Not in this life-time bitch!” But the Hell Priestess rubs the area she was hit, brushes the attack like it is nothing, and gives an evil sinister smile.

 

Hell Priestess says, with an evil sly tone, “Is that all you have, half-breed? I've had regular humans that punched harder than you.”

 

Melody gets an anime vein on her forehead and she yells out, angrily, “Why you, bitch?! I'll show you!” Immediately, Melody charges the Hell Priestess with her right fist ready to pound her.

 

Sango calls out, shocked, “Melody, wait!” However, it is too late as Melody gets close to the Hell Priestess, but she easily side-steps and trips Melody causing her to fall face-first into the ground.

 

When Melody gets back to her feet, the Hell Priestess states, with a dark evil taunting tone, “Is that all you have?” Melody gives out a roar of anger and she lashes out with her claws, but the Hell Priestess easily dodges them without breaking a sweat.

 

Hell Priestess says, with a cold plain tone, “How boring. I'll end this now.” Hell Priestess then summons three black spell scrolls with blood red kanji and throws them at Melody.

 

Melody says, with a sly smirk, “Ha! Guess you don't know as well as that witch?! I'm immune to all priestess spells and with Rei's help that it can come off!”

 

Hell Priestess says, with an evil sly smile, “Foolish half-breed! There is more than one way to get through your magic!” Just then the three black spell scrolls land around Melody, a blood red pentagram forms around her, and Melody yelps out in shock as she is frozen in place!

 

Melody calls out, perplexed, “No! I'm frozen, but I'm immune to all fucking priestess magic!”

 

Hell Priestess yells out, with an evil sly grin, “You insult me, half-breed! I'm not just some pathetic regular human priestess! My magic comes from the powers of Chaos, from the brightest stars in the universe to the deepest and darkest parts of the underworld! My magic is far superior to regular or Demon Priestess magic! In short, my powers negate any and all anti-priestess powers!”

 

Melody yells out, horrified, “No, it can't be!”

 

Shippo shouts out, stunned, “Her powers negate any and all anti-priestess magic?! That means that Melody can be injured by any priestess-type spells and magic!”

 

Hell Priestess says, with an evil sly grin, “Like this!” Hell Priestess than launches a powerful dark lightning assault right at Melody and she screams out in extreme pain as the attack rips into her.

 

Miroku, Sango, Shippo, and Sanosake call out in shock and in unison, “Melody!” After a minute, the Hell Priestess stops her attack and Melody, badly burnt and smoking, falls to the ground on her knees.

 

Hell Priestess goes over to Melody and she says, with a dark cold nasty tone, “Pathetic half-breed. Learn your place!” Hell Priestess then kicks Melody right in the chin, sending her flying high into the air, and she crushes into a tree causing it to turn into splitters as her body hits it with terrific force.

 

Sango yells out, stunned, “Melody!”

 

Yukina says, seriously, “Let me help her!” Soon after, Sango and Yukina go over to the fallen and badly injured Melody.

 

Chaos Pharaoh scoffs and he says, with dark cold plain tone, “Show off.” Hell Priestess gives the Chaos Pharaoh a dark cold nasty sneer before returning her attention to the others.

 

Rei thinks in her mind, seriously, “Oh, man! That's not good! That's some powerful dark magic if she is able to negate the powerful anti-priestess magic that I put on Inuyasha and Melody as well as the other half-demons and demons in our group!”

 

Sesshomaru thinks in his mind, strongly, “This powerful dark force within the miko easily negated the anti-priestess magic that the Princess of Mars and Melody used to shield us from the miko while she was under the control of the Society of Light! Her power is not to be underestimated along with the others! Plus, if we lose the Moon Prince to his `inner darkness', their combined strength might become unstoppable!”

 

Blair is among the group of heroes and heroines and she tells Sammy, “Sammy-chan, it will be okay. They will get Serena back.”

 

Sammy nods his head and he says, weakly, “Yeah.” Sammy thinks in his mind, horrified, “I never thought that Meatball Head of all people would turn into this! She is Sailor Moon for crying out loud! I just can't believe this is happening! If I knew about more about Serena's time away from us as `Black Angel', maybe I wouldn't have treated her so badly!”

 

Sammy lowers his head and Blair says, solemnly, “Sammy-chan.”

 

Jordan sees this and thinks, determinedly, “Don't worry, Sammy-chan. Serena-onee-chan rescued me from that cult and I'll rescue her now from her own darkness! I promise!” Jordan is then bathed in golden and angelic white light and her transforms into his Shining Warrior form.

 

Supreme Queen says, with a dark cold plain tone, “So, you next, huh? Pathetic fool. You don't have the power to defeat me.”

 

Shining Warrior says, with a determined tone, “We won't know until we see. And by the way, I'm not alone.” Shining Warrior asks Rei and Jade, with a sly smile, “Jade-chan, will you and Rei-chan join me for this `dance'?”

 

Jade says, with a sly smile, “I thought that you would never ask, Jordy.”

 

Supreme Queen says, with a yawn and a dark unimpressed tone, “Even with the three of you, you can't defeat me.”

 

Takara says, with a sly smile, “Well, don't forget us sister!”

 

Rika tells Jade and Jordan, with a smile, “Yeah! We're fellow Treasured Era scouts and we stick together!”

 

Nyoko says, with a nod, “That's right!”

 

Melissa says, with a serious tone, “I don't know why, but I have a feeling that I need to help Serena as well as protect the children of the Treasured Era.”

 

Darien steps forward, but Amara stops him and she says, seriously, “You can't! With Serena-hime taken over by the Supreme Queen, her power is far superior than your and you will most likely get killed! How do you think that our princess would feel if you died by her hands?!” Darien growls in low anger, anger being unable to help.

 

Rei tells Darien, with a determined tone, “Don't worry, Darien! We will get Serena back! I promise!”

 

Supreme Queen says, with a dark cold serious tone, “We shall see!”

 

Jade says, strongly, “Oh, yes, we shall!” Jade, Rei, Takara, Rika, Nyoko, and Melissa take out their sailor transformation devices and prepare to transform.

 

“Valkyrie Mars Power, Make-up!”

 

“Valkyrie Shadowed Rebirth Star Power, Make-up!”

 

“Celestial Aurora Star Power, Make-up!”

 

“Treasured Shadow Power, Make-up!”

 

“Celestial Pearl Star Power, Make-up!”

 

“Treasured Emerald Star Power, Make-up!”

 

The five girls are bathed in multi-colored lights, their clothes melted off, they go through their transformation sequences, and when the lights die down, Valkyrie Sailor Mars, Valkyrie Sailor Heaven Star, Eternal Sailor Aurora Star, Eternal Sailor Dark Star, Eternal Sailor Pearl Star, and Eternal Sailor Emerald Bright Star take the place of Rei, Jade, Takara, Rika, Melissa, and Nyoko.

 

BlackGatomon tells the five Sailor Scouts, worriedly, “Don't hurt her!”

 

Sailor Pearl Star tells BlackGatomon, seriously, “We will try our best, but we will do what we must in order to defeat her.”

 

Supreme Queen says, with a dark cold plain tone, “If you can!”

 

Valkyrie Sailor Mars calls out, strongly, “Let's test that!” Valkyrie Sailor Mars leaps high into the air and launches a burst of flames right at the Supreme Queen, but she moves her hands in classic ninja hand signs.

 

Supreme Queen yells out, “Fire Style! Fireball Jutsu!” Supreme Queen puts one hand near her mouth and launches some powerful flames of her own that intercept Valkyrie Sailor Mars' flames, negating both attacks. But just then Sailor Aurora Star and Sailor Dark Star quickly move in and grab both of the Supreme Queen's arms. Supreme Queen calls out, with a dark cold annoyed tone, “How dare you?!”

 

Sailor Dark Star tells Supreme Queen, with a sly grin, “How? That's because we are daring!”

 

Sailor Aurora Star says, with a sly smile, “That's right! Now, you had better stay still! We don't want to hurt you!”

 

Supreme Queen says, with a dark cold plain tone, “Well, forgive me if I don't share the same pathetic emotions!” Just then the Supreme Queen manages to slightly lift Sailor Aurora Star and Sailor Dark Star into the sky.

 

Sailor Emerald Bright Star calls out, shocked, “No way!” Supreme Queen then uses her strength to slam Sailor Aurora Star and Sailor Dark Star into each other and knocking them to the ground in front of her. Supreme Queen prepares dark electric energy to use against them, but then the Shining Warrior moves in with a quick punch. However, the Supreme Queen easily manages to leap out of the way.

 

Supreme Queen says, with a dark cold taunting tone, “Is that all?”

 

Shining Warrior says, strongly, “I don't care how powerful you are! I will save Serena-onee-chan from you!”

 

Supreme Queen says, with a dark cold taunting tone, “So, says the guy that couldn't save himself from that cult and had to be saved by his girlfriend.” Shining Warrior gives a snarl of annoyance and Supreme Queen says, with an evil sly smile, “Ah, did I hurt your feelings? Well . . . let me hurt them more!” Supreme Queen then blasts Shining Warrior with a pulse of physic energy and knocking him to the ground with a strong `thud'.

 

Valkyrie Sailor Heaven Star and Alexis calls out, shocked, “Jordy!” As Shining Warrior gets back on his feet, Valkyrie Sailor Heaven Star tells the Supreme Queen, annoyed, “You are going to pay for that!”

 

Supreme Queen says, with a dark cold sarcastic tone, “Do you think that you can do that without hurting poor Serena?”

 

Valkyrie Sailor Mars' voice booms, “No, but we can do this!” Supreme Queen turns to the source of Valkyrie Sailor Mars' voice only to get hit in the face by Valkyrie Sailor Mars' high-heeled boot, knocking her into the ground, hard! Valkyrie Sailor Mars states, with a sly tone, “Ha! Not so `all powerful' as you thought, huh?!”

 

Supreme Queen quickly gets back on her feet and she says, with a dark cold annoyed tone, “You are starting to get annoying, Mars!” Supreme Queen then says, with a dark cold serious tone, “Time to do what Serena should have done years ago!” Supreme Queen then launches powerful bolts of dark electric energy at the group and they barley manage to dodge. Soon after, Supreme Queen rushes at them and soon after, she engages all of them in close range combat.

 

On the meanwhile, the Chaos Pharaoh cracks his knuckles and he says, with a dark cold serious tone, “I usually don't wish to get my hands dirty, but that doesn't mean that I don't fight.” Chaos Pharaoh points to Jaden and he says, with a dark cold plain tone, “Hand over Haou and you might live to see another day.”

 

Alexis says, seriously, “His name is Jaden and we are not handing him over to anyone!”

 

Chaos Pharaoh says, with a cold plain tone, “It is your funeral.”

 

Yusuke, Hikari, and Kira leap forward to protect Jaden and Kira calls out, seriously, “I don't think so, wiseass! You're going down and we're getting Davis back!”

 

Keiko, TK, and Kari step forward and Keiko says, seriously, “That's right! We're not going to lose Davis to you!”

 

Yusuke tells Keiko, surprised, “Keiko, what are you, TK, and Kari doing?!”

 

TK tells Yusuke, seriously, “Hey, Yusuke, you aren't the only half-demons around here!”

 

Kari tells the Urameshi triplets, with a strong tone, “I love Daisuke too much! He saved me and now, it is my turn to return the favor!” Soon after, Kari takes a sparkling pink heart brooch the size of Serena's Eternal Tier brooch, a golden five-pointed star jewel in the center, a silver crescent moon sigil and the Crest of Light in the center of the golden star, and four beautiful pink angel wings attached to the brooch.

 

Our heroes and heroines gasp in shock and Sora asks, perplexed, “When did Kari get that?”

 

“Eternal Star Power, Make-up!”

 

Kari's new transformation brooch opens up, bathing Kari in pink and golden light, her clothes melt away as pink and golden ribbons with golden stars surround her, and forming around her body turning into a sailor fuku. When the light dies away, Kari has been replaced by a brand new Eternal Sailor Soldier.

 

This new Sailor Scout has Kari's black hair with dark violet streaks in Sailor Venus' hairstyle with a beautiful pink bow similar to Sailor Venus' bow on the top center portion of the back of her scalp, there is a crown of small pink and golden feathers on the forward portion of her scalp, there is golden five-pointed star sigil with a silver crescent moon sigil in the center of the golden star sigil on her forehead, her lips are sparkling pink, her earrings are diamonds in the form of the Crest of Light, black star jewel, and golden heart jewel linked together, her cloth choker is also pink in color with a golden heart and star jewels with a silver crescent moon sigil in the center of the choker, her V-style sailor collar is golden in color, her bodysuit is pitch black in color with her new transformation brooch is the bust area of her bodysuit, her shoulder pads are exactly like Eternal Sailor Moon's original shoulder pads, she has black armored pads on her elbows, her gloves are similar to Eternal Sailor Moon's gloves, but they are black with golden bands on them, the bands on the ends of the gloves have three small pink feathers attached to them, and the gloves are fingerless, revealing golden colored fingernails with Crest of Light and silver crescent moon sigils on her fingernails, her mini-skirt is triple layered with pink, black, and gold as the colors of the mini-skirt, there is a golden heart jewel with four pink angel wings attached on top center portion of the mini-skirt, the mini-skirt is adorned with all types of jewels, the bow on the rear of her mini-skirt is similar to Eternal Sailor Moon's bow, but it is pink in color, her high-heeled boots are similar to Eternal Sailor Moon's boots, but they are black in color and they have a pink jewel in the form of the Crest of Light and silver jewels in the form of the crescent moon sigils in the top center portion of the boots, there are two angel wings attached to each heel of the high-heeled boots, and she has four huge and fluffy pink angel wings adorned with all types of jewels coming out of her back. In her right hand is a beautiful staff similar to Eternal Sailor Moon's Eternal Tier Specter, but it has a rainbow staff and a beautiful diamond-like top with a golden star jewel with Crest of Light in pink in the center of the star jewel above the diamond-like top of the specter.

 

The new Sailor Scout states, with Kari's voice, “What do you think of my Sailor Scout of Eternal Sailor Star?”

 

Hikari says, with a sly smile, “Not bad.”

 

Chaos Pharaoh thinks, with a dark devious grin on his lips, “Well, my `other half' does really know how to pick his princesses! I have to admit with a combination of beauty and power that she is very tempting. Maybe I should spare her . . . I mean, a great pharaoh such as me needs plenty of good `palace girls' and a queen as well.” Chaos Pharaoh says, with a dark cold taunting tone, “Do you really think that scares me?”

 

Yusuke says, with a snort, “You won't be so cocky when we knock you out of Davis' body and back to where you belong.”

 

Chaos Pharaoh gives a yawn and replies, with a dark cold plain tone, “I knew that a simpleton like you would be so bash and not to mention that you are not without a clue. But if you wish . . .” Chaos Pharaoh makes a motion with his right hand and dark evil sly smile to say `bring it on'.

 

Yusuke calls out, annoyed, “All right, freak, you are making me mad!” Yusuke then immediately charges at the Chaos Pharaoh with his right fist charged with spiritual power.

 

Keiko says, worriedly, “Yusuke, wait!” But it was too late, Yusuke gets close to the Chaos Pharaoh and swings his fist at him, but the Chaos Pharaoh just holds out his left palm and when Yusuke's spirit energy charged fist slams into it, there is a strong `crash' causing the ground them to shake and greatly crack, but the Chaos Pharaoh doesn't even flinch.

 

Kuwabara calls out, stunned, “No fucking way! He didn't even flinch!”

 

Chaos Pharaoh says, with an evil sly smile, “Good, but not good enough! Let me show you how it is done!” Before Yusuke could react, the Chaos Pharaoh bashes him in the face, sending him stumbling backward, but then the Chaos Pharaoh lands one dozen super-fast punches to Yusuke's chest, grabs him by the throat, and leaps high into the air. And with one mighty dark battle cry, Chaos Pharaoh throws Yusuke into the ground in which he slams with a loud `crash' causing a lot of dirt and dust to rise into the air.

 

Keiko, Hikari, and Kira yell out in unison and in horror, “Yusuke!” The group immediately goes over to the fallen former Spirit Detective, who is lying on his back in a small crater.

 

Keiko asks Yusuke, concerned, “Yusuke, are you okay?”

 

Yusuke groans as he gets to a sitting position and he states, “Do I look okay?” Yusuke rubs his head and he, along with Keiko, Hikari, and Kira, look at the Chaos Pharaoh with his arms crossed in front of his chest and evil sly grin on his face.

 

Kira takes out her Valkyrie transformation brooch and calls out, annoyed, “Okay, asshole, you are going to get it!”

 

“Valkyrie Milky Way Power, Make-up!”

 

Kira's is bathed in light as her transformation brooch opens up, her clothes melt away, she is surround in a cocoon, and when that cocoon opens, Valkyrie Sailor Milky Way replaced Kira and she prepares her weapon for battle. Chaos Pharaoh just gives an evil sly smile and he summons a pitch black Excalibur-type sword.

 

Valkyrie Sailor Milky Way gives a surprised look and Chaos Pharaoh states, with an evil sly grin, “Is something wrong? What are you waiting for?”

 

Valkyrie Sailor Milky Way shouts out, angrily, “Nothing!” Immediately, Valkyrie Sailor Milky Way charges at Chaos Pharaoh and immediately, the two of them start clashing with their weapons. On the meanwhile, the Hell Priestess moves over to face Jaden, who has Alexis by his side.

 

Hell Priestess says, with an evil sly smile, “I guess that I shall be the one to take care of you, Haou.”

 

Alexis says, annoyed, “Her name is Jaden, you body-snatching wench!”

 

Hell Priestess yells out, with a dark cold annoyed tone, “You shall learn your learn place!” Hell Priestess uses a physic chokehold on Alexis and she gasps for breath as she is being choked.

 

Jaden and Atticus call out in horror, “Alexis!”

 

While he is still fighting the Supreme Queen, Shining Warriors looks towards what's happening and he yells out, horrified, “Alexis-onee-chan!”

 

Supreme Queen's voice booms, with a dark cold strong tone, “Pay attention, warrior!” Shining Warrior turns only to get kicked in the left chin by the Supreme Queen and she says, with dark cold serious tone, “Rule one of combat: Always keep your eyes on your opponent!” Supreme Queen fires a dark electric energy beam, but Shining Warrior easily manages to dodge.

 

As Alexis is being physically choked by the Hell Priestess, Jaden yells out, angrily, “Stop it! Stop it right now!” His eyes turn back to the sinister demonic-like golden for a moment and he winches as he tries to get control of himself.

 

Hell Priestess says, with an evil sly smile, “That's it, `Jaden'. Bring him out. Bring out Haou or your precious `Alexis' won't surprise.”

 

But just then a familiar voice shouts out, “Leaf Hurricane!” Soon after, the Hell Priestess is bashed into the ground by a powerful kick from Lee and Alexis gasps from air as she is released from the physic chokehold.

 

Atticus and Jaden go to her and Atticus asks her, concerned, “Are you okay, Lexy?”

 

Alexis replies, with a gasp, “I'll be fine.”

 

Hell Priestess tells Lee, with a dark cold annoyed tone, “You dare?”

 

Lee says, seriously, “Yes, I do. I will not her to allow more harm through her sick game by using a friend's body! With the power of youth, I will crush and bring the real Kagome back!”

 

Hell Priestess says, with an evil sly smile, “Amusing.”

 

Lee gets into his fighting stance and he says, seriously, “We shall see.”

 

Neji moves in to Lee's left side and Neji says, seriously, “Not alone, Lee. You saw what she did to Melody. We need to be careful of her magical abilities. She can negate any priestess type magic and her magic is very powerful.”

 

Hell Priestess says, with an evil confident tone, “I won't need my mystical abilities to defeat you.” Hell Priestess gets into a martial arts stance and she says, with a dark cold plain tone, “Come and get me.”

 

Tenten tells Neji, worriedly, “Neji, don't!”

 

Neji tells Tenten, seriously, “We need to figure out some strategy to defeat her, Tenten! Don't worry, we will be all right!” Neji activates his Byakugan eyes and he thinks in his mind, seriously, “Maybe if I manage to seal Kagome's chakra points, then we can stop the Hell Priestess. They might be in Kagome's, Davis', and Serena's bodies, but we don't know anything about these three. We must be careful.” The two ninja move and attack the Hell Priestess, but she easily and gracefully manages to avoid the attacks with ease.

 

Kakashi says, seriously, “This isn't good. This `Hell Priestess' is making sport of Neji and Lee. She can easily crush the two of them, but instead, she is holding back and toying with them.”

 

Naruto yells out, stunned, “What?! Are you kidding me, Kakashi-sensei?! Neji and Bushy Brow are being toyed with?!”

 

Sasuke says, plainly, “No kidding, Dobe. The `Hell Priestess' has far superior speed and strength to Neji and Lee.” Back with the battle with the Supreme Queen, Valkyrie Sailor Mars launches another powerful flame attack at the Supreme Queen, but she easily negates it with a force-field. However, Valkyrie Sailor Heaven Star sees an opening and quickly move to the Supreme Queen's right, launching a powerful Spirit Wave attack with her spirit charged right fist, but Supreme Queen easily ducks under the attack and lands a kick to Valkyrie Sailor Heaven Star's chin, knocking her backward. Soon after, Supreme Queen uses a sweep kick to easily knock Valkyrie Sailor Heaven Star off-balance and another kick to the chest sends her flying back into a tree, hard, knocking the air out of her as well as causing the tree to collapse from the impact of her form.

 

Shining Warrior yells out, stunned, “Jade-chan!” Shining Warrior gives an annoyed snarl, puts his hands into ninja signs, and yells out, “Shadow Clone Jutsu!” Just then four Shining Warrior Shadow Clones appear and three of them immediately charge her while the other one secretly starts gathering chakra into the Shining Warrior's right palm. The Supreme Queen notices this and turns her attention to the three Shining Warrior Shadow Clones. She easily manages to dispatch them, but then the Shining Warrior moves in with sphere of chakra in his right hand. Shining Warrior slams it into the Supreme Queen's chest and yells out, strongly, “Rasengan!” The Supreme Queen cries out as she is sent flying 20 yards until she slams into the ground with a loud crash. Shining Warrior says, with a low tone, “Sorry, Serena-onee-chan.”

 

Just then the Supreme Queen's voice calls out, with a dark cold tone, “I'm not.” Shining Warrior gasps and looks up to see the Supreme Queen, uninjured, floating back down to the ground in front of him, and Shining Warrior gives a stunned expression on his face.

 

Shining Warrior yells out, stunned, “But how?!” When the smoke and dust clear from where the Shining Warrior's attack supposed sent the Supreme Queen, they reveal a splinted log in its place. Shining Warrior states, with a flabbergasted tone, “Substitution Jutsu?”

 

Tsunade says, amazed, “She is quick. I didn't see her make a hand sign.”

 

Supreme Queen says, with a evil sly smile, “Impressive. If that would have hit me, I would have been really hurt. If it would have hit me, of course, mighty warrior, but it did. However, this won't!” Supreme Queen launches a sphere of darkness energy at Shining Warrior and he calls out in pain as it slams into his chest and sending him to the ground, hard.

 

Alexis and Atticus yell out in horror, “Jordy!”

 

Sailor Pearl Star cries out, strongly, “That's enough!” Sailor Pearl Star immediately leaps to the Supreme Queen to stop her. She then grabs her, but she then gasps as a vision goes into her mind. Sailor Pearl Star sees into Serena's mind, she finds her, in her female Obelisk Blue uniform, curled up in ball with her head in her knees and surround by darkness.

 

Serena says, weakly and solemnly, “What have I been fighting for? Has all the good I've done for nothing? Every time that I defeat evil using good, it keeps coming back causing more pain and misery to innocent people and all that I love. What am I missing? What do I truly need to be a strong person, a strong duelist, and a ruler as Neo-Queen Serenity? What do I need to truly defeat evil?” When Serena raises her head, her eyes are sinister demonic-like silver like the Supreme Queen, but with a solemn look on her face. When the vision stops, Sailor Pearl Star gasps in shock and she leaps into the sky.

 

Sailor Pearl Star thinks in her mind, stunned, “What was that?” Just then another image of Serena, with her regular eyes, and the Supreme Queen facing the other direction behind her appears in Sailor Pearl Star's mind. Sailor Pearl Star yells out, seriously, “That's it!”

 

Sailor Emerald Bright Star asks Sailor Pearl Star, curiously, “What is?”

 

Sailor Pearl Star says, seriously, “I was thinking that it was strange that Serena, Davis, and Kagome would get possessed so easily even in their weakened emotional and mental states. However, I know the truth! They aren't possessed by outside entities. They are possessed by their own inner darkness! The Supreme Queen, Chaos Pharaoh, and Hell Priestess are Serena, Davis, and Kagome! They are one and the same!”

 

Our heroes and heroines gasp in shock and Ami calls out, stunned, “Are you saying that the Supreme Queen, Chaos Pharaoh, and Hell Priestess are Serena, Davis, and Kagome?!”

 

Sailor Pearl Star says, with a nod, “Yes! When I touched the Supreme Queen, I saw into Serena's mind. Serena is surrounded in darkness and she is confused about what she has been doing. She is confused what she needs to be a person, a duelist, and a ruler. Her heart is full of doubt on what she has been fighting for. Plus, I saw her eyes were the same as the Supreme Queen's eyes. Then I realized the truth! The Supreme Queen, Chaos Pharaoh, and Hell Priestess are the `dark halves' of Serena's, Davis', and Kagome's hearts. They are their `true dark sides'! They are two halves to the same whole!”

 

Supreme Queen roars out, with a dark cold angered tone, “Don't compare me to that weakling!” Supreme Queen then summons a powerful dark orb of energy and with a roar of dark angered fury, she launches it at Sailor Pearl Star, but she uses a burst of angelic energy at send it airborne. But then the orb explodes and rains down dozens of dark energy blasts straight at Sailor Emerald Bright Star.

 

Sailor Aurora Star calls out, horrified, “Nyoko!”

 

Sailor Dark Star yells out, stunned, “Watch out!” Sailor Emerald Bright Star, however, is stunned motionless with shock and fear, but she is then knocked out of the way by none other than Erin as the attack slams into her, engulfing her in strong explosion.

 

Sailor Emerald Bright Star calls out, horrified, “ERIN!!”

 

Sailor Pearl Star says, lowly and horrified, “No . . .” When the smoke and dust clear from the attack, Erin, badly burned, especially on her back, with multiple cuts all over her body, blood trickling down both sides of her lips, and her outfit is badly torn, lies on the ground on her stomach. Immediately, Sailor Emerald Bright Star goes to Erin and turns her over.

 

Supreme Queen says, with a dark cold indifferent tone, “Foolish.”

 

Sailor Emerald Bright Star says, worriedly, “Erin! Erin, please get up!”

 

Erin opens her eyes weakly and she says, with a weak cold plain tone, “Don't mourn for me . . . Nyoko . . . I fulfilled my duty . . . and now, I can rest since my suffering . . . come to an end . . .”

 

Sailor Emerald Bright Star says, with tears in her eyes, “Don't say that, Erin!”

 

But then Erin's eye color changes from her usual eye color to cheery red and Erin says, in a soft and sensual voice, “Foolish, Nyoko . . . I won't her die and . . . I will return . . .” Soon after, Erin closes her eyes and goes into a deep coma.

 

Sailor Dark Star thinks in her mind, seriously, “That's Black Lady! I know that voice anywhere! I see her in my nightmares!” On the meanwhile, Darien secretly steps away and pulls out his rose.

 

Supreme Queen crosses her arms and she says, with a dark cold indifferent tone, “Are you done mourning that foolish girl, warrior?” Supreme Queen prepares to attack again and she says, with a dark cold plain tone, “I only fight warriors and not cowards.” Just then a dark red roses land near her and Tuxedo Mask's cane is at her neck. Supreme Queen says, with a dark cold plain tone, “The Prince of Earth.”

 

Tuxedo Mask tells Supreme Queen, “Don't force me to hurt you.”

 

Supreme Queen says, with an evil sly smile, “You amuse me. You think that you can stop me and save your precious princess? How noble.” Supreme Queen says, with an dark cold plain tone, “How futile.” Just then the Supreme Queen's eyes silver eyes glow and Tuxedo Mask yelps as he is thrown backwards a bit. Supreme Queen then moves her hands in ninja hand signs and Tuxedo Mask then finds himself bound to a mysterious tree that seemly come out of the ground. The Supreme Queen goes over to Tuxedo Mask and she tells him, with an evil sly smile, “I should offer you a chance to join my glorious empire to come and be my side since you helped greatly to awake me.”

 

Tuxedo Mask asks, perplexed, “What do you me?”

 

Supreme Queen replies, with an evil sly smile, “It is quite simple, prince. You see, I have existed within your princess even since she was reborn in this day and age. During her years as a ninja, your princess experience pain and suffering on a grand scale as life of a ninja is full of suffering, pain, and death. However, the darkness only grew slowly within her and left deep within her subconscious and heart, greatly suppressed, and I grew weaker after she left her life as `Black Angel', but the scars of her ninja life remained and the darkness within her could never disappear along with me. And then her life as Sailor Moon started and that's when I began to `bloom'. For you see, it started with your brainwashing with Queen Beryl. It was horrified that you, the man that she loved in another lifetime, turned into a tool for her foe. The pain of loss and sorrow rip deep into Serena's heart and the darkness within her grew. Through that time and beyond, deep within her, I continued to grow at a more rapid rate. The death of her friends at Beryl's most elite youma, your demise after she freed you, learning about the loss of your memories, your breakup with Serena because of her dreams, the brainwashing of Rini into Wicked Lady, the death of Diamond by Doom Phantom, the attempts on Hotaru by Amara and Michelle, the problems of the Inner and Outer Sailor Scouts working together, your second brainwashing, and the first `big one' to help my `growth' is none other than Sailor Galaxia under the control of Chaos. For you see, she ruthlessly killed you while you were on her way to America and when she learned about and that's why you never answer her, the pain, horror, and sorrow was more immense than ever before. Adding to that fact that she sees her friends and fellow Sailor Scouts ruthlessly murdered before her eyes caused her anger and rage deep down to begin to boil, but she kept focused and kept it suppressed as well as rising above it. However, it made me stronger than ever before adding to the fact that the scars of that battle never faded away. Plus, all these actions reopened the `wounds' of her days as `Black Angel' and then . . . IT came along: The Light of Destruction. For you see, the actions of the Light of Destruction through Sartorius increased my strength like never before because it made your princess do something that she never done before: It made her experience hate.”

 

Tuxedo Mask asks, shocked, “Hate?”

 

Supreme Queen says, with a nod, “That's right. Seeing the callous and ruthless nature of the Light of Destruction through Sartorius, even through that Meatball Head didn't know it at the time, turning people into cold and heartless tools for his own use, and all in the name of justice planted the seed of hate within her. And it continued to grow and grow, the brainwashing of her friends, Ami, Lita, and Hotaru, through Alexis and Kagome, Kagome brainwashing in the first place, the taking over of the Blue dorms and turning it into the `White Dorm', the brainwashing of the Digidestined, first Kari through Alexis and then the rest through Kari, the targeting and taking of Jaden's, yours, and the others through the Light of Destruction's ruthless and terrible actions, and more continued to grow the darkness within Serena's heart and make me even stronger. And you finally provided the spark needed for all of the `dark emotion' to come to for: Your brainwashing. By that time, Serena was a powder keg ready to explode and you provided the spark. She then explodes with anger, rage, and most of all, hate. She hated Sartorius! On that day that she `exploded', she hated Sartorius with every fiber of her being! You see, she wanted to kill me . . . no, she desired to DESTORY him! She wanted his blood on her hands and eliminate him once and for all! Her fury awakened and along with her fury . . . I finally awoke with her at long last! It was because of the Princess of Mars that I couldn't `consume' her. It was their bond that saved her from me. Even through I didn't have the power to take over, I kept a slight influence on her before she gained the power of the Black Crystal. However, that's when Seira came in as Serena's temporary `dark side'. She managed to suppress me and keep me contained from Serena. However, her anger and hate against Sartorius continued to grow, seeing you and all of the friends that she lost as cold and heartless tools of that freak, and seeing her new friends, the others, in pain. It caused her darkness to grow and grow and make me stronger. When her fury reached a certain point, my influence took over a bit. But when Seira was separated from Serena and even after she got you back, the darkness with her was as strong as ever. One, the wounds didn't even have time to fade too much. And two, new darkness came into her since she worried about you and the others more than ever. She became a lot more `protective' of all of you. You are her precious prince, the one that she loves now and forever. However, her friends and her guardians are her family and they meant practically everything to her. Plus, with her Earth family and her long lost Silver Millennium family, Jaden, Naruto, and Kari, who was once under that alien freak's control, came to her life now, the darkness from fear and worry came in. So, thanks to Orochimaru's capture of you, Mina, and that little squirt, Sammy Tsukino, and his malicious actions, it was the final piece of the puzzle to allow me to fully awaken. However, this couldn't have happen if it was for you . . . Darien-chan.”

 

Tuxedo Mask asks, horrified, “You mean . . .?”

 

Supreme Queen gives an evil cold sinister smile and she says, with an evil seductive tone, “That's right, `my prince'. Thank you for helping to `create' me as I am now.” Tuxedo Mask gives a gasp in horror and the Supreme Queen gives him a kiss on the lips, but Tuxedo Mask could feel the coldness and darkness within her kiss, nothing like the princess that he loves so much.

 

Valkyrie Sailor Mars yells out, angrily and in disbelief, “NO! IT'S NOT TRUE! YOU'RE LYING!!!”

 

Shining Warrior calls out, strongly and angrily, “Rei-chan is right! We would never help you!”

 

Supreme Queen releases from the kiss, leaving a horror-stricken Tuxedo Mask, and she says, with a dark cold plain tone, “Believe what you wish. But the truth is the truth and there is no denying the facts.” Supreme Queen tells Tuxedo Mask, with an evil sly tone, “Join me, Tuxedo Mask. Join me Darien! Together, we can rule for all time together. I'm a far better bride that Meatball Head, Serena! I'm far more wise, serious, and stronger than that little girl will ever be.”

 

Tuxedo Mask doesn't reply for a few seconds and then he replies, strongly, “Never! You will never be anything that she is! Yes, you might be wiser and more serious, but never stronger! No matter how much power that you have, you won't have her strength! The strength of heart and it is something that a cold and heartless villain like yourself will never have! I want my Sere' back! And I will get her back!”

 

Supreme Queen gets a dark emotionless expression and she replies, with a cold plain tone, “Pity. But as you wish, Tuxedo Mask, you brought this on yourself.” Supreme Queen prepares several kunai knives to finish Tuxedo Mask off and everyone gasps in horror as the Supreme Queen prepares to strike his heart.

 

Sailor Emerald Bright Star sees this, remembers her time with Serena, even through short, the time with her friends before her `death', causing a strong power to rise with her, looks at Erin's unconscious form, and she thinks, strongly, “No! No! Please if anyone can hear! Please help me! Help me stop this! I want . . . I need to protect my friends and all that I love! Help me bring back Serena, Davis, and Kagome! I don't any more pain and misery! I need the power to protect everyone!” Just then Sailor Emerald Bright Star gives off a bright green come as energy from the earth flows into her.

 

Everyone looks at this and Zoe asks, perplexed, “What's going on?!”

 

Takuya replies, “Wish I know, Zoe!”

 

Sailor Pearl Star, Aurora Star, and Dark Star say in unison and amazed, “Nyoko.”

 

“Valkyrie Treasured Emerald Star Power, Make-up!”

 

Soon after, Sailor Emerald Bright Star gives a powerful emerald green energy, energy that transforms into huge lioness, her sailor fuku melts away, and six beautiful sparkling emerald green angel wings come out of her back, wrapping her in a cocoon of sorts while the lioness wraps itself around the cocoon. When the cocoon fades away, a brand new Sailor Emerald Bright Star is revealed.

 

This brand new version of Sailor Emerald Bright Star has her hair under a beautiful Earth green helmet, an emerald in the form of a star is implanted in the center of the forehead portion of the helmet, one small silver wing attached to each side of the cheekbone portion of the helmet, her hair flows from the back of her helmet, she has her original tiara on her forehead, sparkling emerald green coating on her lips, her neck has a silver metal choker with emerald star jewel that has six silver wings attached in the center of the choker, a silver crown shaped locket below the center of the choker with a emerald star in center of the locket, her chest and body are covered in tight fitting sparkling Earth-green armor, showing off the shapes and curves of her body as well as her bust up to the point just before it becomes unsightly, in the bust area of the uniform there is a beautiful emerald in the form of a star with six silver angel wings attached to the star jewel while there is a silver lioness imprinted in the center of the emerald star jewel, there is a picture of Amazoness Tiger imprinted in the waist portion of her armor, her arms are covered in a dark violet latex that's fingerless connected to a latex bodysuit hidden under her new armor, emerald green armored shoulder pads covering her shoulders, her hands and lower arms have black armored gantlets that's over the latex with silver cross jewels that have emerald star jewels in center of the silver cross jewels in the backhand portion of each gantlet with two silver angel wings attached to the sides of the gantlets, she has emerald green armored elbow pads over her elbows, her exposed fingernails are a sparkling silver with emerald green star jewels on each fingernail, she has emerald green armored version of her mini-skirt, she has a dark violet armored belt across the lower portion of her waist that contain an armored pouch for spell and ninja scrolls and a book shaped pouch contains some kind of leather bound book with a gold cord holding with emerald markings decorating the front and black cover, emerald green armored kneepads on her knees with a pouch for kunai knife attached to the right armored kneepad and a pouch for shuriken attached to left armored kneepad, the whole of her lower legs are covered in black armored high-heeled boots with four silver angel wings on each heel, the heels of the boots are twice the length of the heels on Eternal Sailor Moon's high-heeled boots, and coming out of her back are six beautiful huge and fluffy silver angel wings. In her right hand, there is a double blades trident with the `forked blades' on both sides, the staff is golden with emerald green ancient markings on it, emerald green star jewels in the center of the tridents, and the blades of the trident are silver in color.

 

Sailor Dark Star calls out, stunned, “Nyoko just became a Valkyrie Sailor Senshi!”

 

Chaos Pharaoh blasts Yusuke and Hikari away from him with a burst of dark spiritual power and Chaos Pharaoh says, with a dark cold annoyed tone, “This is getting annoying.”

 

Valkyrie Sailor Emerald Bright Star raises her trident into the air and calls out, strongly, “Everyone! Leave the three of them to me!”

 

Hell Priestess says, with dark angered snarl, “You dare to say that you can defeat us? You shall pay for your arrogance!”

 

Valkyrie Sailor Emerald Bright Star replies, with a serious tone, “No, you are the ones that shall pay for the pain and misery that you caused and you shall bring back the friends that we care about!” Just then her trident gives off emerald green flames and her eyes glow with emerald fire and power.

 

Lee asks, perplexed, “What is she doing?”

 

Valkyrie Sailor Milky Way says, strongly, “I don't know, but I'm getting the heck out of the way!” Immediately, the rest of our heroes and heroines engaged in battle against the Supreme Queen, Chaos Pharaoh, and Hell Priestess and the newest Valkyrie Sailor Scout prepares to launches her attack.

 

“Emerald Inferno Claw Flash!”

 

Just then Valkyrie Sailor Emerald Bright Star launches three powerful bursts of emerald flame that transform into lioness-like forms and they give out lioness like roars as they rush at incredible speeds. The three `fallen heroes' gasp in shock as they are slammed by the attack with terrific force and they sent skidding across the ground for 15 yards crashing with three loud `bangs' leaving where they landed covered in flames.

 

Ryoko says, amazed, “Whoa! That girl has some punch!”

 

Atem says, seriously, “Yes! Back in the Treasured Era, Emerald Bright Star was well-versed in magical powers and combat.”

 

Tea states, with a smile, “So, you are remembering more of our `first life' together, huh?”

 

Shining Warrior says, worriedly, “Wasn't that a bit much? Serena-onee-chan, Davis-aniki, and Kagome-kun are still trapped in their own bodies by their own darkness.” Just then a huge wind comes onto the field, taking out the flames, and the Supreme Queen, Chaos Pharaoh, and Hell Priestess come out of the flames slight some minor burns, but just fine with evil sly smiles on their faces.

 

Chazz tells Shining Warrior, in his usual tone, “Does that answer your question?”

 

Joe says, amazed, “They are barely even burned!”

 

Chaos Pharaoh says, with an evil sly smile, “Impressive. All of us actually felt that.” Our heroes and heroines prepare for another attack from the three of them, but the three of them look at each other and nod.

 

Hell Priestess says, with a dark cold plain tone, “We have more important work to do than deal with you little insects, so, we shall see you later.”

 

Chaos Pharaoh takes out a Duel Monsters' deck from a subspace pocket, it glows with a dark violet and black glow, and he says, with an evil sly grin, “By the way, Jaden Yuki, I should thank you and your family for the infamous Evil Heroes deck. I shall use it well.”

 

Jaden gasps in shock and yells out, “No! Wait!” Soon after, Supreme Queen, Hell Priestess, and Chaos Pharaoh teleport away leaving a group of stunned, shocked, horrified, and/or dumbfounded heroes and heroines. On the meanwhile, the genjutsu put on Tuxedo Mask is released and the tree that he is bound to fades away and he falls to his knees.

 

Syrus asks, nervously, “Now, what do we do?”

 

Zane replies, with a dark plain tone, “What else, Syi? Pick up the pieces.”

 

Valkyrie Sailor Mars goes to Tuxedo Mask and she asks him, “Darien, are you okay?” However, Tuxedo Mask can only give a silent horrified expression on his face and Valkyrie Sailor Mars says, solemnly, “Oh, Darien . . .”

 

Veemon says, stunned, “Oh, Davis . . .”

 

BlackGatomon says, solemnly, “Serena . . .”

 

Gatomon tells Veemon, comforting tone, “Don't worry, Veemon. We'll get him back. I know it.”

 

Biyomon tells BlackGatomon, with a nod and a smile, “And Serena, too, BlackGatomon.”

 

TK tells a solemn Sailor Star, “That's right, Kari. We'll get Davis back. He saved us and we will save him.” Sailor Star gives a weak smile and a nod.

 

Rini tells Molly, horrified, “What are we going to do, Molly?”

 

Molly says, with a smile, “Get your mom back, Rini! We'll find a way!” Molly thinks in her mind, “I never knew that Serena held such deep darkness within her. Her past as a ninja and her time as Sailor Moon before all this must have put a lot of darkness in her heart that none of us knew. And this event just made it stronger. But I know we can save her! She saved us and the world so many times and now, it is our turn! I will fulfill my duty and get Serena back no matter what! Even if saving Serena costs me my life, I won't let her down!” On the meanwhile, Tsunade and Hotaru are working on the comatose Erin and even through they healed every one of her wounds, she won't wake up.

 

Hotaru asks, perplexed, “Why isn't Erin-san waking up?”

 

Tsunade says, seriously, “I don't know, Hotaru.”

 

Koemna comes forward and he says, seriously, “I might have an idea. We need to get her to infirmary as quickly as possible.”

 

Tsunade nods her head and replies, seriously, “Right.” Tsunade creates a stretcher made of chakra and got Kiba to help her put her on it. Soon after, the group starts to get on their feet and move to get Erin to the infirmary.

 

Valkyrie Sailor Emerald Bright Star thinks in her mind, with a great worried tone, “Erin, please be okay.” As they continued onto the infirmary, Alexis looks at Jaden as his breathing becomes a bit harder and there is a slight sinister golden glint in his eyes.

 

(Rejoining Viper; on the meanwhile)

 

Inside of Viper's mysterious lab, we find him starting at the large container with the orange orbs of energy and his wicked smile becomes greater than before.

 

Viper says, with a smile of evil glee on his lips, “Excellent! This is incredible! Jaden Yuki and his childhood friend, Daisuke Motomiya, provided more energy than ever before! The amount is unbelievable! It is like they aren't even human!”

 

The mysterious eye appears in the glass container and it says in the mysterious duel voice, “Oh, but Jaden and Davis are human. They are just more.”

 

Viper asks, curiously, “More?”

 

The mysterious eye replies, “You will see, Viper. Thanks to that deadly duel, I have nearly enough to revive. All I need is one more duel with them or one of their childhood friends.”

 

Viper says, with an evil smile, “Good. I shall take care of it personally then.”

 

The mysterious eye tells Viper, “That's good, Viper. Serve me well and you shall have your reward. And remember this: You need to make sure that Jaden suffers either by the dueling him yourself or making him suffer through one of his friends.”

 

Viper says, with an evil sly grin, “As you wish.” Soon after, Viper walks out to prepare for his duel with Jaden or one of his friends.

 

The mysterious eyes thinks, “Soon, Jaden, we will be reunited and you will pay for abandoning me!”

 

(Sometime soon after; Inside of Duel Academy's infirmary)

 

Within Duel Academy's infirmary, we find our heroes and heroines assembled together while the still comatose Erin is hooked up to multiple machines to monitor her condition while Nyoko and Melissa stay by her bedside.

 

Jaden asks Ms. Fontaine, curiously, “How is she?”

 

Ms. Fontaine says, with a sigh, “It is weird. Her vitals are just fine. Physically, she is just fine and Lady Hokage and Miss Tomoe managed to heal her injuries perfectly. She should be up and about.”

 

Nyoko asks, worriedly, “Well, why isn't she?”

 

Koemna says, with a plain tone, “I think that Erin doesn't want to wake up.”

 

Nyoko asks, perplexed, “Huh?”

 

Rei says, seriously, “The pain of her past.”

 

Koemna says, with a nod, “That's right. All of you already know Erin's history and what happened to her with her `sentence' to protect Nyoko. What she has to do to contain the darkness within in, the form of Black Lady, the Dark Assassin, at bay. Most likely, she would like to embrace death at last to finally know peace. She holds great pain and darkness within her.”

 

Tyranno asks, seriously, “Speaking of darkness within, what is this about with Private Tsukino, Private Motomiya, and Private Higurashi being one and the same with those psychos, namely the Supreme Queen, Chaos Pharaoh, and Hell Priestess?”

 

Yeshua says, with a flat monotone voice, “It is exactly as Melissa told you. The Supreme Queen, Chaos Pharaoh, and Hell Priestess are Princess Serenity, Prince Kail, and Princess Kisara. They are one and the same. They are the dark halves of their hearts or their `true dark sides'.”

 

Alexis asks, curiously, “So, this `Haou' that they are talking about . . .?”

 

Yeshua nods his head and he says, with a plain logical tone, “Yes. The Supreme King-Haou is the dark half of Jaden's heart.”

 

Our heroes and heroines gasp in shock and Chazz asks, in his usual snobbish tone, “So, Slacker, the Moon Princess, and Jaden's childhood friends have some kind of split personality disorder?”

 

Koemna says, shaking his head, “No, it is far more complex than that. I will try to explain. As you know, Serena, Davis, Kagome, and Jaden are reincarnations of royals from the Silver Millennium and in Serena's case, the Treasured Era. When they were born in this life, their hearts or the part of their souls that make them who they are today were split into two halves, a `light' half and a `dark' half. Their `light' halves mainly made up the four of them as you knew them while their `dark' halves, while remaining connected to their `light' halves, stayed separate.”

 

Tai asks, confused, “In plain Japanese please?”

 

Izzy replies, plainly, “I'll try to explain what Lord Koemna is saying. I think that he is saying that the Serena, Davis, Kagome, and Jaden that we know are only half who they truly are in this life: Their `light' halves while their darkness remains separate.”

 

Ami asks, perplexed, “But isn't every person supposed to have their light and darkness within themselves combined as one?”

 

Koemna says, with a nod, “Yes. Usually a person have their light and darkness united as one and the only way to separate them is through some form of magic with the light and darkness having two separate bodies, kind of like you see in cartoons or sci-fi shows, but Serena's, Davis', Kagome's, and Jaden's light and darkness are separated in their own bodies.”

 

Jade says, seriously, “Well, their `dark halves' seem to be a lot more powerful than their `light' halves.”

 

Jordan states, with a nod, “Why are they so powerful? And why do they refer themselves as the Supreme Queen, Chaos Pharaoh, and Hell Priestess?”

 

Yeshua states, with a flat monotone voice, “In order to understand, you need to understand the origin of their powers. First of all, you believed that after the Silver Millennium, Serena, Davis, Kagome, and Jaden were immediately reborn into this time correct?”

 

Amara asks, seriously, “Are you saying that they weren't?”

 

Koemna says, seriously, “No, they weren't. Before this time, all of them were reborn centuries ago where they received this `dark power'.” Our heroes and heroines give gasps of shock and he says, seriously, “Plus, these `dark powers' have a few things in common. The first one is that they all came from the same source: The power of Neo-Space.”

 

This causes another set of gasps comes from the group and Yusuke yells out, stunned, “Wait a damn minute! You mean that the same power that's held in Davis' and Jay's `Neos decks' . . .”

 

Yeshua says, with a nod and a flat monotone voice, “Is the origin where the dark powers of the Supreme Queen, Chaos Pharaoh, Hell Priestess, and Supreme King come from.”

 

Koemna says, with a serious tone, “Haou is actually the name of Jaden's life after the Silver Millennium, but before being reborn as Jaden Yuki. You see, he was a prince of Neo-Space given the dark powers of the `Supreme King' for one purpose: To fight the Light of Destruction.”

 

Hikari asks, surprised like many of the others, “This dark power was meant to fight the Light of Destruction?”

 

Yeshua says, with a nod and a plain logical tone, “Yes, Princess Hikari. The power of the Supreme King was given to Haou because the universe chose him to fight this great evil. It is the same for the powers of the Supreme Queen, Chaos Pharaoh, and Hell Priestess. All of them came from Neo-Space and even through each `dark power' has plenty of differences in them, all had the same purpose. To fight and defeat the Light of Destruction and protect the balance of life and that's because Jaden, Serena, Kagome, and Davis are among the universe's `Chosen Ones'. They were chosen by the universe to stop the Light of Destruction as well as protect the balance of life. In one way or another, the choice was given to them back and they did what they did now, accepted it. They, even among the peoples that they were born or reborn to, were always special. They had the power to defy fate and destiny and mold through their own choices like the rest of you, `Chosen Duelists'.”

 

Hotaru asks Trista, curiously, “Trista-mama, did you always know this?”

 

Trista replies, solemnly, “Yes, I did, Hotaru-chan. I never knew that our princess was the mortal child of the Moon Goddess, Selene, but I watched her gain this `dark power' as watched from the Gates of Time.”

 

Lita asks, annoyed, “Why didn't you tell us?”

Trista replies, “I never knew when the Light of Destruction arrived and I only realized what happened after I was returned from its control.”

 

Rei says, seriously, “It's okay, Trista.”

 

Yusuke yells out, with a very annoyed tone, “Yeah, but Toddler Breath and Yeshua knew all about this and they didn't damn well tell us this!”

 

Jordan asks, perplexed, “Wait! If these `dark powers' are meant for good, why are they are so evil?”

 

Yeshua says, with a flat monotone voice, “That's because of all the negative emotions welled up within them. The dark negative emotions throughout their lives caused their `inner darkness' and the `dark powers' held within them to become corrupted.”

 

Takuya asks, seriously, “Big time! And that means what that asshole did to them made it far worse, right?”

 

Koemna says, with a plain tone, “I'm afraid so. This whole experience caused their `dark halves' to `awaken' in a negative fashion.”

 

Yolei says, drolly, “That's just great. So, what do we do?”

 

Bastion says, with a logical tone, “Most likely, we need to purify their `dark halves' of their negative emotions and it might help Serena, Davis, and Kagome to return to normal.”

 

Rini asks, worriedly, “But how are we going to do that? Mommy still holds the Silver Crystal and I'm only still because of Aunt Jun's special band!”

 

Bastion says, seriously while looking at Jaden, “If we had forgotten, there are two Silver Crystal and we know who holds the other.”

 

Everyone's eyes turn to Jaden and he asks, shocked, “Me?!” Jaden sighs and he says, strongly, “Well, if that's the case, then I'm up for it! Time to get my game on!” Jaden then winches as his eyes turn sinister demonic-like gold for a second before returning to normal.

 

Koemna tells Jaden, solemnly, “However, Jaden, you are still in unstable state. You managed to prevent your `dark half', Haou, from coming out in the same way that Serena's, Davis', and Kagome's has, but the `Supreme King' has taken a strong hold in you. If you duel in this state, I'm not sure if you can handle it and not be sent over the edge with Haou taking you over.”

 

Sasuke says, seriously, “Koemna's right. With Jaden in this state, he is no shape to duel. If we lose him to his `inner darkness', we would have to deal with him as well as Serena, Davis, and Kagome.”

 

Naruto asks, annoyed, “So, what do you expect us to do Sasuke?! Wait around while my sister and two of our friends turn into world-conquering maniacs like Orochimaru?!”

 

Sakura tells Naruto, with a stern, but understanding tone, “Naruto, please calm down! I know that you are upset about Serena and you have right to be, but it doesn't give you the right to take out on Sasuke. He has got a point about Jaden.”

 

Rini says, seriously, “Maybe I should try to duel mommy since I'm a Chosen Duelist myself.”

 

Jun tells Rini, “I'm not sure that's a good idea, Rini. You are not much better off with Jaden and your `dark side', Wicked Lady, still within you. She is sealed for the moment, but who knows for how long? I'm not sure that it is safe for you to duel with the intensity that the `Supreme Queen' I know will give you.”

 

Mina asks, seriously, “I know that he isn't a `Chosen Duelist', but maybe Darien should duel Serena? You know that `love conquers all'?”

 

Molly points to the solemn Darien and she tells Mina, in a whisper, “I don't think that's a good idea, Mina. What the `Supreme Queen' told Darien has really gotten to him.”

 

Mina says, weakly, “Oh.”

 

Bastion says, seriously, “Well, we have three problems to deal with: One, the one that helped cause or directly cause the other two, the Society of Light and the Light of Destruction. Two, Inuyasha, Dartz, and the Orichalcos. And finally, three, our `fallen' three friends, Serena, Davis, and Kagome, and their `dark halves', the Supreme Queen, Chaos Pharaoh, and Hell Priestess.”

 

Chazz states, in his usual tone, “Obvious, dork, but what do we do about them?”

 

Just then a male voice calls out, “I might have a solution to your problem, my friend.” Everyone turns to the source of the voice to see none other than the former king of Atlantis, Ironheart, with her granddaughter and princess of Atlantis, Chris, standing in front of them.

 

Atem says, amazed, “Ironheart! Chris!”

 

Ironheart tells Atem, with a nod, “Lord Atem, it is good to see you and Miss Tea again. However, I wish that circumstance were different.”

 

Joey asks, curiously, “Someone that you and Tea know Atem?”

 

Tea says, with a smile, “They are good friends of ours.”

 

Mindy asks, curiously, “Who are they?”

 

Tea says, with a smile, “The former King and princess of Atlantis.”

 

Everyone, minus Yeshua, Hiei, and Trista, gasp in shock and Jasmine yells out, stunned, “No way! I mean, we found out that Atlantis exists, but if they are who you say that they are Tea-sempai, they would have to be . . .”

 

Chris says, with a smile, “Spirits? Yep!”

 

Kuwabara yells out, stunned, “Spirits?! You mean that you are ghosts?!”

 

Hiei tells Kuwabara, in his usual manner, “No, fool. Ghosts are evil spirits. They are good spirits and I can tell because they hold no negative force.”

 

Atem says, with a serious tone, “I believe that Tea and I should explain.”

 

Mina says, nervously, “Please do because I'm a bit freaked right now.”

 

Sora says, stunned, “You aren't the only one, Mina.” Soon after, Atem and Tea started to explain about Ironheart and Chris, their history, their `connection' with Atlantis and Dartz, and what happened when Atem and Tea met them during the Orichalcos battles over ten years ago.

 

When they were done, Izzy asks, curiously, “So, Ironheart is Dartz's father and Chris is his daughter?”

 

Ironheart says, with a nod, “Correct. However, I left my son back in the Spirit World because a certain group of you would have attacked him from what his `evil side' has done currently.”

 

Melody yells out, angrily, “Damn straight, grandpa!”

 

Sango calls out, scolding tone in her voice, “Melody, you are not helping! And show some respect! He is a former ruler that help saved the world millennia before any of us were born!”

 

Melody says, plainly while crossing her arms, “As some of you human girls in this time say: Whatever!”

 

Miroku tells Ironheart, “Forgive Melody, Lord Ironheart. She has been through a lot lately.”

 

Ironheart replies, with a nod, “Do not worry about it, young monk.”

 

Atem asks Ironheart, “Ironheart, what are you doing here?”

 

Ironheart replies, “We are here to help you. We know about the evil that controlled my son is now in physical form and in his guise trying to raise the Great Leviathan, once more.”

 

Chris says, seriously, “We also know that three of you, `Chosen Duelists', warriors chosen by the universe with the power to defy fate, have gained the powers of the Legendary Knights, Timaeus, Critias, and Hermos.”

 

Jaden says, taking a card from his deck, “Yep!” Jaden displays his Eye of Timaeus, Rei displays the Fang of Critias, and Naruto displays the Claw of Hermos.

 

Ironheart says, with a serious tone, “You will need their power to defeat not only the evil of the Orichalcos, but the force that helped the Orichalcos brainwash my son: The Light of Destruction.”

 

Atem asks, surprised, “You know Ironheart?”

 

Chris says, with a nod, “Yes, Lord Atem, we do. I've seen it before. A weird white light in the sky around the time that my father became brainwashed by the Orichalcos and the Light of Destruction were using the Orichalcos in its own malicious plans to take over the world at the time. When my father had done its work, the Light of Destruction would have easily destroyed the Orichalcos and taken over the Leviathan, using it to spread across the universe.”

 

Ryoko states, plainly, “Why I am not surprised?”

 

Ironheart says, seriously, “However, with the corruption of the dark powers necessary to stop the Light of Destruction, you will need to purify the Moon Princess, the Universe Prince, and the Genesis Princess in order to defeat the Light of Destruction. Plus, the Genesis Princess is linked to the heart of the one that you know as Inuyasha, the reincarnation of the great Dog Demon that aided you well, Lord Atem. She must be the one along with the Legendary Knights that faces Inuyasha and the Orichalcos.”

 

Atem says, seriously, “And in order to do that, we must bring Kagome, Serena, and Davis from their darkness.”

 

Ironheart says, with a nod, “Correct. And I know way. It involves the Moon Prince. Since he holds the powers of the Supreme King, he might be the one to return them to normal. But in order to do so, he needs to purify the dark powers of the Supreme King.”

 

Yusuke asks, plainly, “How does Jay do that?”

 

Melissa says, with a serious tone, “Jaden needs to face his darkness head on and that means he needs to fight the Supreme King, his `other self'.”

 

Ironheart tells them, “And I know a way for Lord Jaden to do just that.”

 

Everyone, minus Yeshua and Hiei, gasp in shock and Zane asks, with a dark serious tone, “And how do you propose to do that?”

 

Ironheart tells them, “Meet my granddaughter and me at the place known as the `Abandoned Dorm' and he will see. However, other than his `Digimon', Guilmon, only one person can come with him.”

 

Tyranno asks, a bit suspiciously, “Why is that?”

 

Rika says, with a serious tone, “Hassleberry has got a point. Why only one person?”

 

Atem tells the others, “It is best that we trust Ironheart. He is a good friend and very wise.”

 

Alexis steps forward and she says, seriously, “I'll go with Jaden.”

 

Atticus asks Alexis, “Are you sure about that, Lex? Maybe one of the others with power should go.”

 

Alexis tells Atticus, shaking her head, “No, Atti. I need to go with Jay.”

 

Hikari says, with a smile, “I think that it is for the best.”

 

Mina says, with a sly smile, “Yep! I think that Kari is right.”

 

Ironheart says, with a nod, “Meet us in the `Abandoned Dorm' within the next two hours. During this time, we shall prepare for what you need to do, Lord Jaden. Make sure that you bring you deck and your duel disk with you. The reasons that you will need them will become clear when you arrive.”

 

Jaden says, with a shrug, “Okay.” Soon after, Ironheart and Chris turn around as a golden light fills the room forcing everyone to cover their eyes and when the golden light faded, Ironheart and Chris were gone.

 

Jasmine says, plainly, “You know, this is getting weirder and weirder.”

 

Keiko says, with a sigh, “For us . . . not so much.”

 

Kira says, with a nod, “Don't we know it, Kei.”

 

Naruto asks, with some annoyance, “What do we do on the meantime?”

 

Sasuke says, with a dark serious tone, “We will need to keep an eye for those Society Dweebs.”

 

Sakura says, with a dark annoyed tone, “Good point, Sasuke. If they find out about this, I'm sure that slimy snakes of that alien freak will try to advantage of this.”

 

Takara says, with a nod and dark plain tone, “Good point, Sakura. We need to make sure that those white dweebs are contained for the time being.”

 

Hikari says, with a dark sly smile, “Leave that to me. Since I'm the current Vice-Chancellor, I'm sure that I can think of something.”

 

Washu says, with a serious tone, “I'll try to find a way to find Inuyasha and track those three at the same time.”

 

Izzy asks Washu, “Would you like a hand, Washu?”

 

Washu says, with a nod and a smile, “Gladly, Izzy! Plus, I would be honored if Bastion and Ami help out too! The more great minds, through not as great as mine, the better.”

 

Ami says, nervously, “Thanks . . . I think, Miss Washu.”

 

Bastion says, with a nod, “It would be an honor.”

 

Tsunade says, with a serious tone, “Good. Naruto, Jiraiya, Sasuke, Kakashi, and the rest of us will start Rei's ninja training. As an heir to the Sharingan, she will need to harness chakra.”

 

Lita asks Tsunade, “Lady Tsunade, do you think that you can train the rest of us, too?”

 

Tsunade asks, curiously, “Why is that?”

 

Hotaru says, with a serious tone, “Serena-hime is our princess, our leader, and our friend, but this time, all of us, her guardians, expect for Rei-chan, were standing by the sidelines while our princess was the one protecting and saving us while that . . . `demon' used us as his little puppets.”

 

Lita says, seriously, “It's time that we show him that you don't mess with our heads, use us like puppets, and gets away with it!”

 

Koemna tells Tsunade, with a serious tone, “I think that it would be for the best. With their Sailor Scout powers, their spiritual energy are already awakened, so, it would be easy for them to harness chakra. Plus, with villains like Orochimaru on the island, it would give Serena, when she is freed from the control of her `dark half', less to worry about and her control won't be loss again.”

 

Tsunade says, with a smile, “I agree, Lord Koemna.” Tsunade says, with a smile while looking at Hotaru, “Plus, this little one has incredible talent. She would have made one excellent medical ninja back in the Leaf Village.”

 

Hotaru replies, with a blush, “T-Thank you, Lady Hokage.”

 

Tsunade says, with a smile, “But then again, who said that it was too late?” Tsunade tells the Moon Kingdom Sailor Scouts, seriously, “Well, I'm going to tell you that whatever training that you had before, it will be walk in the park compared to this. You are going to have to train and train harder than ever before.”

 

Amara says, with a serious and determined tone, “For our princess, we would die her.”

 

Mina says, with nervous tone, “Actually, we did a couple of times.”

 

Rei says, drolly, “Don't remind me.”

 

Tsunade asks Anko and Kakashi, “What say you?”

 

Kakashi says, with a sly tone, “I don't see why not. Plus, you are the Hokage, after all.”

 

Anko says, with a serious tone with a smile, “If you wish them to be trained, then that's fine with me.” Anko says, with a wicked grin, “Actually, I'm looking forward to it.”

The Inner Sailor Scouts and Hotaru give nervous looks and Mina thinks, nervously, “I don't like the look on her face.”

 

Tsunade tells Jiraiya, with a serious tone, “And don't get any ideas, Jiraiya. Or when Serena is freed from her `dark side's' control, I will tell her of any `tricks' that you try with these girls, got it?”

 

Jiraiya says, with a nervous tone, “No! No! Wouldn't think of it!” Jiraiya thinks with a nervous tone, “No joke! If I try anything with Tsunade and her `prized students' including `Black Angel' when we free her, those two will turn me into ninja soup! Man! Can't a guy do a little `research' around here?”

 

Sango says, seriously, “I think that Miroku, Shippo, Melody, and I with Kirara should keep an eye for any sign of Inuyasha.”

 

Miroku says, seriously, “Good idea, Sango.”

 

On the meanwhile, Jordan looks at Darien and his solemn expression, he thinks, “Poor Darien-kun, he is really devastated. What the Supreme Queen told him really got to him. Don't worry, Darien-kun, I'll help in anyway to get Serena-onee-chan back.” Jordan clenches his right hand into a fist and he thinks, with great dark angered tone, “Damn him! It is his fault! It is that alien `demon's' fault! He caused the pain and misery in Serena-onee-chan's heart that allowed that darkness to grow within her! The guilt of losing my future daughter, taking away nearly all of Serena-onee-chan's friends, and all of his ruthless actions! The Light of Destruction will pay for this! I swear as the Warrior of Light that he will pay!” Just then his eyes began to gain a dark violet hint to them and Jade, Alexis, and Atticus manage to notice this.

 

They think at the same time, with a worried and curious tone, “Jordy?”

 

Kurama whispers to Yeshua, in a curious tone, “Yeshua, I need to know. Are there `Chosen Duelists' similar to Serena, Davis, Kagome, and Jaden?”

 

Yeshua whispers back, in his usual flat monotone voice, “Yes, there are. And I fear what would happen if their `inner darkness' is released in a negative fashion. One of these other `Chosen Duelists' with a `dark power' where its origin comes from Neo-Space is actually connected to the `Supreme Queen'.”

 

Kurama whispers Yeshua, curiously, “Who?”

Yeshua tells Kurama, in a whisper and a serious tone, “I can't say for now.” However, Yeshua glances at Jordan Rhodes and he notices the dark violet hint in his eyes causing his eyebrow to rise slightly.

 

(Joining the Supreme Queen; on the meanwhile)

 

Inside of a cave-like throne room similar to Queen Beryl's throne in the Negaverse, the Supreme Queen-Bastet sits down on a violet crystal throne looking at a crystal ball with a picture of Tuxedo Mask in the center.

 

The Supreme Queen says, with a dark cold plain tone, “I must say that my `other half' has had an excellent taste in males despite her naïve attitude. However, his looks are one, but his power leaves something to be desired and his devotion to my `other half' is very strong. But deep down, I sense the power need for my king and my husband. I will need to make my play carefully. Slowly bring him to my side and my `weak self' might be the `key' to winning his allegiance. I believe that the plans of my counterpart, Resheph, are indeed the way to go . . . however, I shall not let `the other gender' distract me from what I need to do . . . like Resheph.”

 

(At the same time; Joining the Chaos Pharaoh)

 

Inside of another large cave, molded and shaped like the palace of an ancient Egyptian Pharaoh, with the columns, markings/inscriptions in hieroglyphs, and in the top center portion of the throne, we sees the Chaos Pharaoh sitting down a golden throne similar to ones used by the pharaohs of ancient Egyptian civilization looking at another crystal ball with a picture of Sailor Star's face in the center.

 

The Chaos Pharaoh says, with evil loving smile, “I need to say that the tastes of my `weak self' are beyond excellent. I see much potential in the now half-demonic Moon Princess. She has beauty, in looks and voice, grace, and untapped and not yet molded power. She isn't a `palace girl'. She has the potential of a true queen: My queen.” The Chaos Pharaoh says, with an evil sly smile and dark cold sly tone, “However, my `tastes' are not for one because I must be more `open'. In order to have a great kingdom, it will take more than just two of us, my queen and me. It will need a core group of `devoted' servants and warriors. However, I am of the opinion that females are not the `weaker gender'. The Kunochi of the Ninja World are one example of strong females and the leader of the Hidden Leaf Village is one prime example. But I need the right combination of warriors and servants, males and females. I need to plan this carefully. However, it all starts with the lovely Moon Princess, Child of Light, and Mistress of the Stars. She is the `key' to start of my kingdom. And I know how to play this perfectly to secure her allegiance with me.” The Chaos Pharaoh gives an evil sly smile and he says, with a dark evil sly tone, “In order to get to someone, you need to `feed' what they desire most and they will become putty in your hands.” The picture of Sailor Star vanishes off of the crystal ball and he says, with a dark cold serious tone, “But I need to plan this carefully and correctly or my plans will be lost.” The Chaos Pharaoh gives an evil sly smile and says, “Time to go to work.”

 

(During this very same time; with the Hell Priestess)

 

Inside of another large cave, we find the cave designed into a dark version of a Shinto shrine with dark kanji markings on dark violet spell scrolling hanging all over the place, mysterious black candles producing mysterious dark violet flames, and in the center, we find a pyre with black and fiery red enclosed by some kind of structure with the Hell Priestess kneeling down in front of the fire on a mat and performing a Shinto-type prayer.

 

When the Hell Priestess opens her eerie green demonic-like eyes, she says, with a dark cold plain tone, “Bastet. Resheph. You are both fools. Lust and love are emotions that are for the weak. I do not need anyone in my heart. My `other half' was foolish to care about that pathetic dog, his sister, and all of her friends. In the end, they have caused her nothing, but pain. I shall not allow myself to fall to such weakness.” Hell Priestess takes a deep breath and she says, with a dark cold serious tone, “However, they do have the right idea. In order to fulfill my plans, I will need `associates' to work with. Pawns to do my bidding.” Hell Priestess says, with evil sly smile, “And I might have just the three that I need to rip that pathetic `Society of Fools' and the other weaklings apart.” Hell Priestess then swipes her hand in front of the fire and an image of Eri, Yuka, and Ayumi in their female SOL uniforms appears in the fire. Hell Priestess says, with an evil cruel smile, “They might be pathetic, but they might prove the perfect vessels for my `servants of disaster'.”

 

(Sometime later; deep within the abandoned dorm)

 

Inside of the abandoned dorm, we find Jaden, with a duel disk that has his dueling deck inside, is walking downstairs with Guilmon and Alexis walking with him.

 

Alexis asks him, nervously, “Jaden, are you sure about this?”

 

Jaden tells Alexis, with a serious tone, “I have to Lex. If I don't defeat Haou, I won't be able to face Serena, Davis, Kagome, or anyone else in a duel for that manner. And if I lose control, Haou takes me over. He is my `true dark side' and I can feel, deep inside. He is slowly taking me over and I've got to stop him or I will turn into a `devil' as terrible as that alien freak of nature.”

 

Alexis tells Jaden, with a serious tone, “Jaden, you will never be anything like that asshole!”

 

Jaden tells Alexis, with a kind smile, “Thanks, Alexis. I'm glad that you came with me.”

 

Alexis says, with a slight blush on her cheeks, “Y-You're welcome.” Soon after, the three of them enter Professor Banner's former lab to find the dueling area filled with sacred markings and stuff with Ironheart and Chris waiting for the two of them.

 

Ironheart says, with a serious tone, “Lord Jaden, I'm glad that you can come.”

 

Jaden says, a bit nervously, “No problem, but could you not call me `Lord Jaden'? I may be the Moon Prince, but I'm not use to that stuff like my sister.”

 

Chris says, with a kind smile, “We're sorry. But you are royalty like Pharaoh Atem and a great person like him.”

 

Ironheart tells Jaden, with a nod, “Indeed. And like Lord Atem, you must face your own `inner darkness' like he did with the Orichalcos. Back during his battles with the Orichalcos, there was a time he fell prey to the darkness within his heart.”

 

Alexis says, with a nod, “Atem, Yugi-sempai, and Tea-sempai told us about it.”

 

Ironheart says, with a nod, “Yes, I see.” Ironheart points to the markings and he says, “This is a sacred circle that we have created here. Similar to what Lord Atem was in when he battle against his own darkness with Yugi Moto's help. This circle will bring your darkness into physical form and you can battle him. However, I must warn you, Jaden: If you lose this battle, Haou will gain control of you, Jaden, and you will be lost to the darkness.”

 

Jaden nods his head and he says, “I understand. But if I don't do anything, Haou will take me over anyway. I can't let hurt anyone and I have to save Serena, Kagome, Davis, and the whole world. People are counting on me and I can't let them down! I'm ready!”

 

Ironheart says, with a nod, “Then enter the sacred circle and prepare for your trial.” Jaden, without saying a word, slowly moves into the circle and stands on one end of it.

 

Alexis thinks in her mind, worriedly, “Good luck and please return to us! We . . . I would be devastated if I lost you!” Soon after, the sacred markings began to glow and Jaden starts to groan as his body glows with black glow.

 

Guilmon and Alexis yell out in shock, “Jaden!”

 

Chris says, with a reassuring tone, “It's all right. The sacred circle is bringing Jaden's dark side to the surface and making it physical so he can fight against him.” As Guilmon and Alexis look on, they see the black glow transfer into Jaden's shadow, his shadow extends towards the other side of the dueling field, and then a human figure comes out of Jaden's shadow. When the figure fully emerges, Jaden's shadow returns to normal and everyone, including Jaden, is able to see the figure in front of them.

 

The human figure is male that's exactly Jaden's sized dressed in black and gold medieval-like armor nearly from head to toe with six tendril-like spikes, two coming out of the armor's back and four jutting out from the shoulders, a headdress with a tail collar, and floor length red cape. He has black helmet that looks similar to a crown and his face is exactly like Jaden's face, except he has sinister golden demonic-like eyes.

 

Jaden says, with a stunned tone, “You are . . .”

 

The human figure replies, with a darker and deeper version of Jaden's voice with dark cold monotone voice, “I am. I am Haou, the Supreme King. Future ruler of all worlds . . . your future, Jaden.”

 

Jaden says, with a serious tone, “Forgive me, if I disagree, Haou.”

 

Haou tells Jaden, with a tone of dark contempt, “You are a fool, Jaden. Do you really believe that by doing good that you will truly defeat evil? Pathetic. The only way to truly defeat evil is to become evil itself.”

 

Jaden yells out, strongly, “No way! That's not true!”

 

Haou replies, with a dark cold nasty tone, “Then this duel is already mine. Bastet, Resheph, and Izanami know this true all too well. You are too weak, Jaden. Your kindness and gentleness has gotten you where with that alien freak and his pathetic cult? Spit on, made a fool, and you lost nearly everything that you held dear! But then again, that's what held you back in the first place! Caring about others and letting kindness and friendship control your actions. In the end, you will fall as long as you continue this path. In order to truly become powerful, you must embrace power and the darkness! You must be ruthless, unyielding, and powerful!”

 

Jaden says, strongly, “The only fool is you, Haou! If you think that by being ruthless and heartless towards others is the way to gain power, then you are the fool! Caring about others is not a weakness, but strength! And if you want to take about power, all that I care about will give me more power than you can imagine!”

 

Haou retorts, with a dark cold monotone tone, “Foolish sentiment from my `weaker half'. Do you really believe that they truly care for you? We are the darkness and they are the light, even it is the `good' light of the world! It is those that you cared about that caused you such pain when they left you for power.”

 

Jaden yells out, angrily, “Take that back! They never willingly left for that jerk! He messed up their minds!”

 

Haou retorts, with a dark cold plain tone and dark cruel smile, “If they were so faithful, why did they get brainwashed so easily? Friendship is easily broken and friends can easily betray you. You need power and ruthlessly take what you desire to survive. The real world is harsh and cruel and it is the only way to survive in dueling and in life.” Haou looks at Alexis with his eyes, causing her to be really unnerved, and Haou says, with a dark sly smile, “And I shall prove it by taking her after I win. Beautiful and powerful. She will be my perfect queen. You are a naïve fool, Jaden, but your tastes in the opposite gender are excellent.”

 

Alexis thinks in her mind, seriously unnerved, “Okay, he is really creeping me out!”

 

Jaden says, strongly and determined tone in his voice, “I will die before I will let you lay one hand on her Haou!”

 

Alexis gives a surprised expression and she says, lowly, “Jay . . .?”

 

Haou replies, with a dark cold monotone voice, “We shall see.” Haou extends his left hand upwards. A gantlet attached to his left wrist activates and spins around like buzz-saw. Finally, the gantlet transforms into a duel disk with the deck holder being black with the center resembling a demonic orange eye with golden outlining with the other segments being black and petal-like in shape. Haou then puts a dueling deck that gives off a familiar black glow to Jaden.

 

Jaden says, activating his duel disk, “Okay, Haou, get your game on!” Jaden activates his duel disk, Haou's and Jaden's duel disks display 4000 life-points for each duelist, and they draw five cards from their decks.

 

“Duel!” Jaden and Haou yell out in unison as their duel begins.

 

Starting Scores:

Haou: 4000

Jaden: 4000

 

Haou draws one card from his deck and says, with a dark cold monotone voice, “I shall begin.” Haou then displays a spell card with a picture of Avian and Burstinatrix in dark golden light with dark figure behind them and Haou yells out, darkly as he puts the card in the spell/trap slots, “I shall play a card that you know well: Dark Fusion!”

 

Jaden gasps in shock and yells out, horrified, “You mean that you . . .?”

 

Haou says, with a dark cold plain tone, “Yes, I do. I play an Evil Heroes deck because I am your darkness and this deck represents the `dark side' of the Elemental Heroes that you use!” Haou then discards Elemental Hero Clayman (800/2000) and Elemental Hero Burstinatrix (1200/800) monster cards from his hand and calls out, in a dark cold monotone voice, “Now, I use my Dark Fusion to dark fuse Elemental Hero Clayman with Burstinatrix!” The two said monsters appear on the field and go into a dark fusion vortex.

 

Alexis thinks in her mind, confused, “Dark Fuse? I know what happens when Jaden uses Polymerization to fuse those two monsters together, but what happens with this `Dark Fusion'?!”

 

Haou takes a fusion monster card from his fusion deck, puts it on his duel disk, and declares, with a dark strong tone, “Come forth, Evil Hero Infernal Sniper!” Just then out of the dark fusion vortex, Evil Hero Infernal Sniper (2000/2500), a female humanoid monster with long black hair flowing down in curve, yellow visor over her eyes, ruby red lips, blood red and yellow armor, a claw-like left hand, and a cannon-like right hand with one curved horn on each side of the cannon-like right hand, comes to the field in defense mode. Haou says, with dark cold serious tone, “Now, I play her effect! When she is in defense mode, she can inflict 1000 points of damage to you directly!” Haou points at Jaden and yells out, with a dark harsh tone, “Blast him!” Infernal Sniper aims her cannon-like right hand at Jaden and fires an energy sphere at him. The attack slams into him and Jaden cries out as he loses 1000 life-points.

 

Alexis and Guilmon call out, shocked, “Jaden!”

 

Haou says, with a dark cold monotone tone, “I shall end my turn there. Do you see what true power brings? Or do you need to be taught another lesson?”

 

Current Score:

Haou: 4000

Jaden: 3000

 

Jaden draws one card from his deck and he says, seriously, “The only thing that I see is that you need to be taught some manners, Haou! And I'm the guy to do it! My move!” Jaden puts one card in the spell/trap slots and yells out, “I play Polymerization!” Jaden discards his Elemental Hero Sparkman (1600/1400) and Elemental Hero Clayman (800/2000) monster cards from his hand to the graveyard, the two monsters appear on the field, go into a fusion vortex, and Jaden says, while getting a fusion monster card from his fusion deck, “Now, I fuse Elemental Hero Clayman and Sparkman together to create . . .!” Jaden puts the fusion monster card on his duel disk and exclaims, “. . . Elemental Hero Thunder Giant!” Out of the fusion vortex, Elemental Hero Thunder Giant (2400/1500) comes to the field in attack mode. Jaden discards his Elemental Hero Necroshade (1600/1800) monster card to the graveyard and he says, “Next, I play his ability! By discarding one card from my hand, one monster on your field with less original attack points than my hero is destroyed! So, say goodbye to that fake! Thunder Giant: Static Blast!” Thunder Giant launches a blast of static energy from its right hand at Infernal Sniper, destroying it, and Jaden calls out, strongly, “Now, Thunder Giant, attack him directly! Boltic Thunder!” Thunder Giant blasts Haou with a powerful blast of electric energy, but he doesn't even flinch at all and he gives a dark cold monotone expression as he loses 2400 life-points. Jaden states, perplexed, “Can't you even flinch?” Jaden puts two cards in the spell/trap slots and he says, with a plain tone, “Well, maybe these face-downs will make you later.”

 

Current Score:

Haou: 1600

Jaden: 3000

 

Haou gives off an aura of intimidation as he calmly and silently draws his card and Alexis thinks in her mind, nervously, “He looks so calm and collected and yet, he looks so sinister that even when he isn't speaking, he is very intimidating. I can't believe that he is a part of Jaden!”

 

Haou looks at his cards silently, puts one card on his duel disk, and calls out, “Now, I summon Evil Hero Infernal Prodigy!” Soon after, Evil Hero Infernal Prodigy (300/600), a humanoid monster with beetle-like armor, black demonic wings coming out of his back, claw-like hands, and his head has a helmet with large demonic wings attached to the top of the helmet, red bug-like eyes, and human-like monster has a sinister smile, comes to the field in attack mode. Haou says, with dark cold plain tone, “Thanks to its special ability, it is a special summon since I have no monsters on the field.” Haou puts another card on his duel disk and calls out, dark cold serious tone, “Next, I sacrifice him to summon my Evil Hero Malicious Edge!” Infernal Prodigy vanishes and it is replaced by Evil Hero Malicious Edge (2600/1800), a humanoid monster with a blue body, covered in spikes, blue metallic demonic wings coming out of its back, and three claws on each of his hands similar to Wolverine from X-Men, comes to the field in attack mode.

 

Alexis yells out, stunned, “That's a seven star monster! You need two sacrifices to summon that, not one!”

 

Haou gives Alexis an evil seductive smile and he says, with dark cold plain tone, “That's where you are wrong, my future queen. Since my opponent has a monster on his field, I can summon Malicious Edge with one sacrifice instead of two.”

 

Jaden says, drolly, “Just great.”

 

Haou draws one card from his deck and he says, with dark cold plain tone, “Oh, plus, since Infernal Prodigy was sacrificed to summon a `Hero' monster, I get one more card from my deck.” Haou puts the card in the spell/trap slots and yells out, darkly, “And the card I drew was Heavy Story! Now, all spell and trap cards are destroyed!” Just then a huge wind comes onto the field, Jaden's face-down card, Draining Shield and Dummy Marker trap cards, are destroyed.

 

Jaden draws two cards from his deck and he says, with a serious tone, “Good for me! You destroyed Dummy Maker! Since you destroyed it with a spell card, I get two more cards from my deck!”

 

Haou displays a spell card with a picture of a masked man display a nasty claw-like device and Haou says, putting the card in the spell/trap slows, “I equip my Vicious Claw spell card to Malicious Edge! It gives him an extra three hundred attack points!” Malicious Edge's right hand gains the claw in the picture of the spell card and its stats rise from 2600/1800 to 2900/1800. Haou says, with a dark cold plain tone, “Get rid of that weakling!” Malicious Edge slashes Thunder Giant in half and it explodes causing Jaden to yell out as he loses 500 life-points. Haou puts one card in the spell/trap slots and he says, dark cold plain tone, “I shall end with one card face-down.”

 

Current Score:

Haou: 1600

Jaden: 2500

 

Jaden draws one card from his deck and he says, “My move!” Jaden looks at the card, gives a sly smile, and he says, “Sweet.” Jaden puts one card on his duel disk and calls out, “I play Necroshade's special ability! Since he is in the graveyard, I can summon one Elemental Hero from my hand without a sacrifice! So, I play Elemental Hero Neos!” Just then Elemental Hero Neos (2500/2000) comes to the field in attack mode. Jaden puts one card in the spell/trap slots and yells out, “Now, I play my Neos Force equip spell! This gives Neos an extra eight hundred attack points!” Elemental Hero Neos' stats rise from 2500/2000 to 3300/2000! Jaden yells out, strongly, “Attack his Malicious Edge!” Neos moves in to attack Malicious Edge, but Haou gives an evil sly smirk.

 

Haou pushes a button on his duel disk and replies, with a dark cold plain tone, “Foolish. I play my trap card: Negate Attack!” Haou's face-down card proves to be the Negate Attack trap card and Haou's monster is shielded by a force-field. Haou says, with a dark cold plain tone, “I do not need to tell you anything more.”

 

Jaden puts one card in the spell/trap slots and he says, “I'll thrown down a face-down and end my turn!” Soon after, the hologram of the Neos Force equip spell card vanishes, Jaden puts the card in his deck, reshuffles, and puts his deck back in his duel disk.

 

Haou draws one card from his deck, puts the card in the spell/trap slots, and he says, dark cold serious tone, “And your life will end now. I play my Card of Sanctity! Both of us must draw from our decks until we have six cards in our hands!” Haou and Jaden draw from their decks until they have six cards in their hands, Haou puts another card in the spell/trap slots, and yells out, dark cold plain tone, “Then I shall activate another Dark Fusion spell card!” Haou displays Summoned Skull (2500/1200) monster card, discards it to the graveyard, and he says, with a dark cold tone, “I shall fuse my Malicious Edge with Summoned Skull to form my ultimate Fiendish Hero!” Summoned Skull appears on the field, goes into a dark fusion vortex with Malicious Edge, and Haou takes a fusion monster card from his fusion deck.

 

Alexis asks, lowly and worriedly, “What now?”

 

Haou puts the fusion monster card on his duel disk, and he declares, dark cold strong tone, “Come forth, Evil Hero Malicious Fiend!” Out of the dark fusion vortex, Evil Hero Malicious Fiend (3500/2100), a humanoid monster similar to Malicious Edge, but his dark blue helmet has six blade-like tentacles coming out it, his demonic wings are huge and monstrous, he has black boots on his feet that goes up to kneecaps, and his claws are large and over one foot in length. Haou then displays Evil Hero Infernal Gainer (1600/0) monster card which has a picture of a humanoid monster that's red and dark violent, four horns coming out of its helmeted head, two horns on top and two horns on the sides, six blood red eyes, four large spikes coming out of its shoulder blades, and dark violet tail coming out its tailbone. Haou then says, with a dark cold plain tone, “Now, I play the effect of my Evil Hero Infernal Gainer. By removing him from play, my Malicious Fiend can attack you twice this turn!”

 

Alexis, Guilmon, and Jaden gasp in shock and Jaden calls out, stunned, “What?!”

 

Haou puts the card in some form of sub-space pocket, out of play, and yells out, with a dark cold strong tone, “It means that you are done, Jaden! Malicious Edge, destroy the symbol of Jaden's power: Elemental Hero Neos!” Malicious Edge rushes forward, slices Elemental Hero Neos to shreds, and he cries out as he is destroyed causing Jaden to lose 1000 life-points.

 

Jaden yells out, horrified, “Neos!”

 

Haou says, with a dark cold plain tone, “Don't forget about my Gainer, Jaden. You are now defenseless with me to give the final blow. Now, Malicious Edge, end this duel.” Malicious Edge moves in to attack Jaden directly.

 

Alexis exclaims, horrified, “Jaden!”

 

Jaden pushes a button on his duel disk and calls out, “This duel isn't over, yet, Haou! I play my trap: Hero Spirits!” Jaden's face-down card proves to be the Hero Spirits trap card and an image of Neos appears to shield Jaden from Malicious Edge's attack. Jaden says, with a sly smile, “Sorry, Haou, but thanks to my trap, since you destroyed a Hero in battle, I can block one of your attacks.”

 

Haou puts one card in the spell/trap slots and he says, with a dark cold nasty tone, “Impressive for simpleton like you, Jaden. I'll end my turn.”

 

Current Score:

Haou: 1600

Jaden: 1500

 

Jaden draws one card from his deck and he yells out, putting one card in the spell/trap slots, “I play my O-Oversoul spell card! With this, I can summon one Normal Elemental Hero back from grave and I choose Neos!” Elemental Hero Neos (2500/2000) comes back to the field in attack mode. Jaden puts one card on his duel disk and yells out, “Next, I summon Neo-Spacian Flare Scarab in attack mode!” Beside Neos, Neo-Spacian Flare Scarab (500/500-900/500) comes to the field in attack mode. Jaden calls out, strongly, “Neos! Flare Scarab! Contact Fusion!” The outer space theme appears in the sky, the two monsters leap into the sky as their cards are returned to Jaden's deck. Jaden takes a fusion monster card from his fusion deck, puts it on his duel disk, the two monsters combine in the bright light, and Jaden exclaims, “Come on out, Elemental Hero Flare Neos!” Out of the light, Elemental Hero Flare Neos (2500/2000) comes to the field in attack mode. Jaden's Field Spell slot opens, he puts a card in it, and calls out, “And to mix things up, I play Neo-Space!” The field then transforms into the aurora-type field of Neo-Space and Jaden says, with a sly smile, “Thanks to this spell, my Neos gains five hundred more points and since there are two cards on the field as well, Flare Neos gains eight hundred extra points!” Flare Neos' stats rise from 2500/2000 to 3800/2000! Jaden shouts out, strongly, “Neos, show that fake what a real hero can do! Flare Storm!” Flare Neos fires a beam of flames from its right hand that obliterates Malicious Edge and Haou growls as he loses 300 life-points.

 

Alexis says, with a smile and a low tone, “Yes.”

 

Jaden puts one card in the spell/trap slots and he says, “I'll throw down a face-down and end my turn!” Flare Neos' stats rise from 3800/2000 to 4200/2000!

 

Current Score:

Haou: 1300

Jaden: 1500

 

Haou says, with a dark cold plain tone, “Not bad. You show to have more power than I originally thought, but you can't win. As long as you follow this path of caring about others and not embracing the darkness, you shall lose to me.”

 

Jaden says, with a sly grin, “We'll see about that!”

 

Haou draws one card from his deck and he says, with dark cold serious tone, “And we will now!” Haou looks at the dark, gains an evil sinister smile, and he says, displaying a spell card with a dark blue hand with dark violet smoke coming out of it, “Now, I play my Dark Calling spell card! With it, I can remove monsters from my graveyard and my hand that can be used to fusion summon with Dark Fusion and summon their dark fused form right now!” Just then Elemental Hero Clayman (800/2000) monster card comes out of his graveyard, he displays Elemental Hero Sparkman (1600/1400) monster card in his hand, he puts them in a sub-space pocket of sorts, the two monsters appear on the field, and go into a dark fusion vortex. Haou says, with dark cold plain tone, “And now, I call forth Evil Hero Lightning Golem!” Out of the dark fusion vortex, Evil Hero Lightning Golem (2400/1500), a humanoid monster similar in form and size to Elemental Hero Thunder Giant, but with blue and dark violet armor, a big red circular jewel on its chest, lightning bolt shoulders pads that goes towards his back, and dark violet spikes on his arms, comes to the field in attack mode. Haou then says, pushing a button on his duel disk, “Next, I play my face-down trap: Coffin Seller!” Haou's face-down is revealed to be the Coffin Seller continuous trap card and Haou says, with a dark cold plain tone, “Thanks to this trap card, you lose three hundred life-points for every monster sent to your grave! And it starts right now since Lightning Golem has the ability to destroy one monster on the field per turn!” Jaden, Alexis, and Guilmon gasp in shock and Haou shouts out, with a dark cold serious tone, “Lightning Golem, rid the field of that pathetic creature!” Lightning Golem blasts Flare Neos with red colored lightning and Flare Neos cries out as it is destroyed while Jaden loses 300 life-points, thanks to Haou's trap card.

 

Alexis says, horrified, “Jaden is defenseless!”

 

Haou says, with a dark cold strong tone, “Now, Lightning Golem, end this duel!” Lightning Golem fires blood red lightning energy right at Jaden.

 

Jaden pushes a button on his duel disk and calls out, strongly, “Not so fast, Haou! Do you think that you are the only one with Negate Attack?!” Jaden's face-down card proves to be the Negate Attack trap card and Lightning Golem's attack is negated.

 

Haou says, with dark cold plain tone, “Not bad for you, Jaden. But you can't beat me.”

 

Current Score:

Haou: 1300

Jaden: 1200

 

Jaden draws one card from his deck, puts the card on his duel disk and yells out, “I summon Neo-Spacian Glow Moss!” Just then Neo-Spacian Glow Moss (300/900) comes to the field in attack mode. Jaden puts a card in the spell/trap slots and he says, “Next, I play my NEX also known as Neo-Spacian Extent! With this card, I can send my Glow Moss to the graveyard to summon a level four monster with the same name in my fusion deck!” Jaden takes a card from his fusion deck, puts it on his duel disk, and yells out, “Now, I summon Neo-Spacian Twinkle Moss!” Soon after, Glow Moss transforms into Neo-Spacian Twinkle Moss (500/1100), a slightly taller version of Glow Moss with a feminine form and with a spiky glowing hairstyle, comes to the field in attack mode.

 

Haou says, with a dark cold nasty tone, “That little weed won't help you win, Jaden.”

 

Jaden draws one card from his deck and he says, “We'll see about that! I play his effect! I draw one card from my deck and her ability depends on the card that I draw!” Jaden displays Pot of Greed spell card and he says, seriously, “It's a spell card! So, Twinkle Moss can attack you directly! So, take it away!” Twinkle Moss creates a large spear in her feminine hand and launches into Haou's chest costing him 500 life-points. Jaden puts the spell card that he drew in his spell/trap slots and he says, seriously, “I play Pot of Greed! Now, I draw two more cards!” Jaden draws two more cards from his deck, puts two cards in the spell/trap slots, and he says, “I'll throw a couple of face-downs and end my turn!”

Haou: 800

Jaden: 1200

 

Haou draws one card from his deck and he says, with a dark cold plain tone, “As you wish!” Just then Evil Hero Infernal Gainer (1600/0) reappears on the field in attack mode. Jaden, Alexis, and Guilmon gasp in shock and Haou says, with an evil cruel smile, “Oh, didn't you know? During the second standby phase after I remove my Gainer from play, I can summon him back to the field in attack mode!” Haou then says, with a dark cold strong tone, “Now, I play my Lightning Golem's effect! Now, I destroy your little sprite!” Lightning Golem blasts Twinkle Moss with his blood red lightning and Jaden loses 300 life-points as she is destroyed. Haou then says, with a dark cold plain tone, “And then I play my Gainer's effect again! I remove him from play to attack you twice!” Gainer vanishes from the field and Haou calls out, with a dark cold strong tone, “Golem, end this duel!” Evil Hero Lightning Golem fires a beam of dark red lightning right at Jaden.

 

Alexis yells out, horrified, “Jaden!”

 

Jaden pushes a button on his duel disk and shouts out, strongly, “I reveal my spell” Flute of Summoning Kuriboh!” Jaden's face-down card is revealed to be the Flute of Summoning Kuriboh Quick-Spell card, a card comes out of Jaden's deck, puts it on his duel disk, and declares, “Now, I can summon Winged Kuriboh straight to the field!” Just then Winged Kuriboh (300/200) comes to the field in defense mode and gets hit by the attack, destroying him, but Jaden's life-points are not touched since Winged Kuriboh was in defense mode. Jaden says, with a serious tone, “Thanks to my partner's ability, all your damage goes to zero for this turn!”

 

Haou tells Jaden, with an evil sly grin, “All BATTLE damage Jaden, but not my trap card!” Jaden's groans as he loses 300 life-points from Haou's trap card. Haou tells Jaden, with an evil smile, “There is no way that you can win. With my malicious heroes and the powers of darkness on my side are finished. You shall finally be gone and I shall take over our body. And soon, I shall be the ruler of this and all worlds. And Alexis shall be my queen, but then again, you desired her after all.”

 

Jaden asks Haou, a bit nervously, “What do you mean?”

 

Haou tells Jaden, with an evil cruel smile, “Don't try to fool me, Jaden. I am a part of you through the `better' you anyway. I know better than you know yourself. Don't deny it. You want Alexis badly and even through you are naïve not to know what fiancée means, love is a concept not foreign to you. Deep down, you want Alexis. You crave Alexis. Especially in your `darkest fantasies'. The touch of her skin, the feel of her lips.”

 

Jaden and Alexis blush and Jaden says, nervously, “No! No! I don't think Alexis in that fashion!”

 

Haou tells Jaden, with an evil sly smile, “Don't play dumb with me, Jaden. I said that I know you better than you know yourself. You didn't care for her for her looks through she is one of the most beautiful girls on the island, perfect in body and looks, but you cared about her about her personality and her power as a duelist. The way that she dueled you during your first year totally mesmerized and the way that she told Chazz that she loved dueling reached into your heart because you felt exactly the same way about dueling, didn't you?”

 

Alexis looks at Jaden, shocked, and she thinks, amazed with a blush on her cheeks, “Does that mean that Jaden . . .?”

 

Haou says, with an evil sly grin, “Well, at least she will get the `better part' of us, Jaden, and she will rule by my side as my queen. She is perfect every way so it is obvious that she should be my queen and in my bed.”

 

Jaden growls in anger and he says, strongly, “I'll never let you get your sick hands on her!”

 

Haou tells Jaden, with an evil sly grin, “And what are you going to do about Jaden? You can't beat me. Even with the symbol of your deck's new power, Neos and the Neo-Spacians, you couldn't defeat my Evil Heroes. I told you that there is no way to beat me unless you embrace the darkness in full and care only about getting more power and taking what you want. When you are gone, I shall see about your so-called `friends'. They might make faithful servants if they obey me.”

 

Jaden snarls at Haou and he thinks in his mind, worriedly, “I hate to admit it, but he has a point! Even with good old Neos and my Neo-Spacians, I couldn't beat his Evil Heroes deck! A deck with so much dark power! Do I even stand a chance? What will happen to Alexis and my friends if Haou takes me over?! I can't let that happened, but do I have the power to win?!” Just then a familiar `Kuri' comes from Jaden's duel disk and Jaden sees Winged Kuriboh's spirit come out of his graveyard, encouraging him with its chirps, and Haou growls in annoyance at the duel spirit, but Alexis gives off an amazed look as she sees Winged Kuriboh.

 

Alexis thinks in her mind, stunned, “Is that a . . . duel spirit? The one that Jay talks to all the time?” Alexis then tells Jaden, in a strong tone, “Jay, don't listen to that jerk! He might be your `dark side', but he is nothing like you! He's wrong! You can beat him! He might have a powerful deck, but he is a part of you! And sometimes the greatest battle for a person is to beat themselves! Come on, Jay, did you give up when you were fighting the Shadow Riders or those `White Dorks' to save me and the others from that mind-controlling freak?!”

 

Jaden gasps in shock and he thinks in his mind, “Lex is right! I faced the Shadow Riders, the Sacred Beasts, and the best that alien freak could throw at me to help get Alexis and my friends back from him! I never gave up and continued dueling against the toughest of opponents!” The memories of Jaden's duel from his entrance exam with Doctor Crowler, the Shadow Riders, Kagemaru and the Sacred Beasts, and until now appear in his mind. Jaden takes a deep breath and he yells out, “Haou, this duel is on!”

 

Haou says, with a dark cold plain tone, “Then you shall pay for your foolishness as I slowly crush you.”

 

Current Score:

Haou: 800

Jaden: 600

 

Jaden says, as he draws a card, “Actually, I'm ending this right now!” Jaden puts one card in the spell/trap slots and he says, with a smile, “Sweet! I play Dark Spell Regeneration! With this card, I can play any spell card in the graveyard for this turn and I choose Card of Sanctity! Both of us must draw until we have six cards in our hands!” Haou and Jaden draw from their decks until they have six cards in their hands. Jaden puts another card in the spell/trap slots and he says, with a smile, “I play my Spell Reproduction! By discarding two spell cards from my hand, I can return one from my graveyard!” Jaden discards his H-Heated Heart and E-Emergency Call spell card, gets his Dark Spell Regeneration spell card back from the graveyard, and says, putting in his spell/trap slots, “And I choose my Dark Spell Regeneration! Now, I play Card of Sanctity again, but since you already have six cards, I get a few new cards from my deck!” Jaden draws three new cards, puts one card in the spell/trap slots, and he says, “Now, I play my Feather of a Phoenix! I discards one card from my hand to bring back one card to the top of my deck!” Jaden discards his R-Righteous Justice spell card, takes his Pot of Greed spell card, puts it on the top of his deck, and he says, with a smile, “And I choose Pot of Greed!”

 

Haou states, with a dark cold plain tone, “And what good will that do you?”

 

Jaden puts a card in the spell/trap slots and he says, with a sly smile, “A lot since I play my Hero Flash! Now, I remove my H-Heated Heart, E-Emergency Call, R-Righteous Justice, and my O-Oversoul spell cards to play this card! And since I put H-Heated Heart and E-Emergency Call with my Spell Reproduction and my R-Righteous Justice with Feather of a Phoenix into the graveyard, with O-Oversoul already there, I can do just that!” The four named spell cards come out of the graveyard slots, Jaden puts them in his pocket, and he says, a card coming out of his deck, “Now, I can summon one Normal Elemental Hero from my deck!” Jaden puts the card on his duel disk and he says, “And I choose the one and only Elemental Hero Neos!” Just then Elemental Hero Neos (2500/2000-3000/2000) comes to the field in attack mode. Jaden then says, with a sly smile, “And thanks to my Hero Flash, he can bypass your monsters and go for you, directly!”

 

Haou gives a look of shock and Alexis calls out, excitedly, “All right!”

 

Jaden yells out, strongly, “Neos, end this duel! Attack him directly with Cosmic Crush!” Neos leaps forwards, passing Haou's monster, and striking him in the chest causing a large explosion as he loses 3000 life-points, ending the duel immediately.

 

Final Score:

Haou: 0

Jaden: 600

 

As the holograms fade away and the field returns to normal, Jaden says, wearily, “That's game, Haou.” When the smoke and dust clear from the explosion, Haou is on one knee as he turns into dark particles.

 

Haou asks, wearily, “H-How? How can you . . . have so much power?”

 

Jaden says, falling to one knee, “My friends and Alexis are my power, Haou. Plus, it is like my sis, Serena, told the Light of Destruction: `True power comes from the heart and without heart, power is meaningless.' Remember that, Haou.”

 

Haou looks at Jaden, gives a dark sinister smile, and he says, with a dark cold plain tone, “You might have beaten me, Jaden, but I'm not gone. I am a part of you. I am your darkness. You can never be rid of me, Jaden. I will continue to exist within you for the rest of your days.”

 

Jaden says, with a plain tone, “That's fine. I know that. However, you should know that I already embraced the darkness, but I did it without destroying my light: The Light of Hope in my heart and soul.” Haou just gives a dark cold smile as he fades into dark particles that run towards Jaden and he groans slightly as they go inside of his body. Jaden says, when it was over, “Whoa! That was more intense than I thought.”

 

Alexis and Guilmon goes over to Jaden and Alexis asks him, concerned, “Jaden, are you okay?”

 

Jaden smiles and replies, “Yeah, I'm just fine, Lex.”

 

Ironheart tells Jaden, “Well done, Lord Jaden.” When Jaden, Alexis, and Guilmon look at Ironheart and Chris, he tells them, “You have overcome your inner darkness, but remember this: Your `dark half', Haou, holds half of who you truly are, Jaden. Everyone in life has light and darkness within them and you are not too different. You, the light part of yourself, must become one with your darkness, with Haou, into for the true you to come into being. You must remember that Haou is you and you are Haou. One can't live without the other. If you die in anyway then Haou dies with you and vice-versa.”

 

Jaden says, with a nervous smile, “I kind of got that.”

 

Chris says, with a smile, “Well, we've got to go. My daddy will be worried about the two of us if we are gone long. Tell Atem and Tea that we said goodbye.”

 

Jaden says, with a smile and a nod, “Don't worry, I will.” Chris and Ironheart nod as the two of them fade away along with the markings on the dueling field. Jaden then starts to head out, but Alexis has a blush on her cheeks. Jaden looks at her and he asks, nervously, “What's wrong, Lex?”

 

Alexis asks, nervously, “Jay . . . it is about what Haou said earlier . . . do you . . . you . . .?”

 

Jaden gains a wide flush on his cheeks and he replies, nervously, “I . . . uh . . . Well, I do . . . really care about you, Lex . . . but not in the fashion that Haou was talking about . . . I would never think of you in that way . . .!!”

 

Alexis isn't sure about what Jaden is saying, but she replies, with a nervous smile, “Yeah! He might be your `dark half', but you would think about me like that!”

 

Jaden says, with a smile, “No joke, Lex! Even with my powers, you can still pound me into the ground!”

 

Alexis says, with a sly smile, “And don't you forget it, Jay!”

 

Jaden replies, with a smile, “No way, Alexis! After you sent Yusuke flying that one time with your Shadow Clones, I know not to make you mad!” Jaden says, turning towards the exit, “Now, come on, Lex! The others are waiting for us!” Jaden and Guilmon starts to head, but an image of Jaden with his shirt and Slifer Red blazer off, exposing a well-developed muscular chest, and the two of them passionately kissing each other with Jaden `dominating' Alexis comes into her mind.

 

Alexis shakes her head and she thinks, “Cut that out, Alexis! You are letting Jaden's `dark half' get to you!” However, she can't get the blush out of her cheeks and the thoughts from the image still lingered in her mind.

 

Just then a dark voice similar to Alexis calls out to her in her mind, with a dark sly tone, “You are just fooling yourself, Alexis Rhodes! You want Jaden as much as he wants you, so, stop denying what you desire!” Alexis looks around for the source of the voice, but when she doesn't find anyone, Alexis continues to follow Jaden and Guilmon out of the abandoned dorm.

 

(Later that day; Within Darien's mind)

 

Lying downing in a garden of white roses with a star-filled sky, we find our Moon Princess' beloved, Darien Shields AKA Tuxedo Mask, waking up with a start in the field of roses. The Earth Prince looks around the field of white roses and his eyes become wide with familiarity.

 

Darien says, amazed, “This place . . . it looks familiar . . .” He immediately looks up in the sky and he gasps to see the Earth in the star-filled sky. Darien says, amazed, “I knew it! I'm on the moon! This must be the Moon Kingdom!”

 

Just then a male voice similar to his own, but deeper and more commanding, “For someone so bright, it took you awhile to figure that out!” Darien whips to the source of the voice to see none other than himself in front of him! Or should I say, Darien's `past self', as Prince Endymon of Earth, who is giving him a serious glare from his orbs.

 

Darien says, stunned, “You're me! Wait a minute! That's not possible!”

 

Prince Endymon replies, “Of course it is possible, Darien. I am you. Or should I say, I'm the half of your soul that's Prince Endymon of Earth and Elysion!”

 

Darien says, with a solemn tone, “Oh, you here to reprimand me for turning our princess, the girl that we love so much, into . . . that `demon', the Supreme Queen.”

 

Prince Endymon snarls in anger, walks over to Darien, bashing right in the nose, and he says, grabbing him by the collar, “No, I'm here to yell at you for being an idiot! It wasn't your fault at all that Serenity's inner darkness awoke inside of her and took over like that!”

 

Darien throws Prince Endymon off him and he retorts, with tears starting to form in his eyes, “Oh, really? Who got himself brainwashed three times and had to have Serena save him? Who broke up with Serena because of a stupid dream that none other his damn future self and broke her heart, nearly having her killed, I might ask you?! And who put her through that ruthless duel that hurt her so much emotionally and mentally?!”

 

Prince Endymon says, with a serious tone, “Look! First of all, even with your willpower, the Negaverse had pumped so much negative energy into you to brainwash you that it was no wonder that you needed help to break free! Two, you broke up with Serena because it was a dream that led you to the love of your life and the dream was so real that who would ignore it! You loved her so much that you would rather be apart from her rather than see her dead! And three, you would never willing hurt Serenity or Serena in any way of your own free will! She knows that and I know that! Serena pushed herself to her emotional and physical limits in order to save us and the rest of us that were trapped in that alien freak's hellish Light! Our beloved gave her life to protect us! And she did it because she loves us now and she always will! She missed us and she saved all those times because she loved us so much! And what do you do to repay her for that she sacrificed! Mope around and let others do your job of protecting the one that you love! I can't believe that I've reincarnated into a weak man like you!”

 

Darien snarls at his `royal half' and then a male voice sounding like his own says, with a cold harsh tone, “What are you idiots arguing about now?!” Darien and Prince Endymon turn to the source of the voice to see none other than Darien himself or what he was when he was fully brainwashed by the Light of Destruction with the male SOL uniform and dull and lifeless eyes. `White Darien' as he was call says, with a cold nasty tone, “Please, give up on this loser! He can't protect himself much less that pathetic Meatball Head that he calls a girlfriend!”

 

Darien states, seriously, “What is this?!”

 

Prince Endymon replies, with a strong royal tone, “It is simple, Darien. This is a test. The only way for you to overcome this and save our beloved is to face yourself or the person that the Light of Destruction turned you into when you were under its control. However, I should warn you, if you fail, the evil that controlled you might regain control.”

 

`White Darien' says, with a cold nasty snarl, “Oh, please! He doesn't have the guts! And when I'm done with him, Master Sartorius will get rid of that avatar of darkness, Tsukino! There is no place in the world for someone as useless as her!”

 

Darien says, strongly and annoyed, “Okay! No one, not even an evil version of me, insults Sere'! I will fight to defend her honor!” Just then Academy-style duel disks appear attached to their left wrists with dueling decks attached. Prince Endymon gets out of the way, the two of them get into their positions, activate their duel disks, and their life-point counters displays 4000 life-points for each person. The two of them draw two cards from their decks as their duel begins.

 

“Duel!” Darien and his evil counterpart call out as their duel begins.

 

Starting Scores:

Darien: 4000

White Darien: 4000

 

Darien draws one card from his deck and yells out, putting one card on his duel disk, “I'll start off with Mine Golem in defense mode!” Just then Mine Golem (1000/1900) comes to the field in defense mode. Darien puts one card in the spell/trap slots and he says, seriously, “I'll end my turn with this card face-down!”

 

White Darien says, with a cold nasty tone, “Is that it?! Please! A five year old makes a better move than that!” White Darien draws a card, his Field Spell slot opens up, and he yells out, coldly while putting the card into the slot, “This card might bring back a few memories! I play my Field Spell: Seal of Light!” Just then a sickly white light comes onto the field and Darien covers his eyes for a moment. When he is able to look again, he finds himself trapped a sickly white version of the Seal of Orichalcos with White Darien having the Seal of Light's mark on his forehead with evil violet glow in his eyes. White Darien puts a card in the spell/trap slots and yells out, “Now, I play my Ice Luster Ritual!” White Darien discards Gilford the Lightning (2800/1400) monster card from his hand, puts one card on his duel disk, and yells out, coldly, “Now, I sacrifice my Gilford to summon Ice Luster Soldier!” Just then Ice Luster Soldier (3000/2500-3500/3000) comes to the field in attack mode with the Seal of Light appearing on its forehead with evil violet glow in its eyes. White Darien says, with a cold nasty tone, “By the way, dork, if you forgot, my Seal of Light gives all of my Light monsters an extra five hundred attack and defense points!” White Darien puts one card in the spell/trap slots and calls out, coldly, “Next, I play my Fairy Meteor Crush on my Soldier! With this Equip Spell, when he destroys a monster with less defense points than its attack points, the difference is taken out of your score!” Darien gives an expression of shock and White Darien calls out, in a cold harsh tone, “Soldier, take out that peon with Ice Luster Blade attack!” Ice Luster Soldier slashes Mine Golem in half and Darien yelps out as he loses 1600 life-points as he glows white and groans as he loses energy.

 

Darien says, seriously, “I'm not the only one getting hurt! Since you destroyed Mine Golem in battle, you lose five hundred points!” White Darien groans out slightly as his energy is drained while he loses 500 life-points.

 

White Darien says, with a cold nasty tone as he puts one card in the spell/trap slots, “So, what?! I'll my end my turn with this!”

 

Current Score:

Darien: 2400

White Darien: 3500

 

Darien draws one card from his deck and he yells out, “I'm removing my Golem from play to summon Gigantes in attack mode!” Mine Golem comes out of Darien's graveyard and he puts it in his pocket. He puts a card on his duel disk and Gigantes (1900/1300) comes to the field in attack mode.

 

White Darien asks, with a cold nasty tone, “Is that it?”

 

Darien puts one card in the spell/trap slots and he calls out, strongly, “No! Because I play my Shrink spell card to cut your Soldier's power in half!” Ice Luster Soldier groans as its stats are reduced from 3500/3000 to 1750/3000!

 

White Darien pushes a button on his duel disk and exclaims, coldly, “Thanks, dork! Now, I play my Card of Last Will!” White Darien's face-down card proves to be the Card of Last Will trap card and he says, with a cold sly smile, “Since you weakened my monster, I get five new cards!” White Darien fie new cards from his deck into his hand.

 

Darien calls out, strongly, “But your monster is still wide open! Attack!” Gigantes pounds Ice Luster Soldier into submission and White Darien groans as he loses energy while loses 150 life-points. Darien puts one card in the spell/trap slots and he says, plainly, “I'll end with this card face-down!”

 

Current Score:

Darien: 2400

White Darien: 3350

 

White Darien draws one card from his deck and he says, with a cold nasty tone, “Ha! That's pathetic! Let me show you how to really duel!” White Darien puts one card in the spell/trap slots and calls out, coldly, “Now, I play my Lightning Vortex spell card! By discarding one card to my graveyard, your monster hit the road!” White Darien discards Ice Captain (1200/700) monster card to the graveyard and a large lightning storm destroys Darien's Gigantes. White Darien then says, with a cold sly smile, “Next, I remove my Ice Luster Soldier and Ice Captain from play to summon my Ice Emperor!” The two monster cards are removed from White Darien's graveyard and he puts a card on his duel disk. Just then the massive Ice Emperor (4200/3200) comes to the field in attack mode. White Darien says, with an evil sly smile, “Thanks to his ability, his power is the attack and defense points of the monsters that I removed from play through his ability prevents him from getting boosted by my Seal of Light! However, he won't need to after this! Attack!” Ice Emperor prepares to slice Darien with his sword.

 

Darien pushes a button on his duel disk and shouts out, “Sorry, but I play Negate Attack!” Darien's face-down card proves to be the Negate Attack trap card and he is shielded from the attack.

 

White Darien says, with a cold annoyed snarl, “You are only delaying the inevitable, Shields!”

 

Darien says, seriously, “We'll see about that!” Darien draws a card, puts it on his duel disk, and shouts out, “I play my Giant Soldier of Stone in defense mode!” Giant Soldier of Stone (1300/2000) appears on the field in defense mode and Darien says, plainly, “That's it.”

 

White Darien says, drawing one card, “You are more of a loser than I thought!” White Darien looks at the card he drew, gives an evil smirk, and he yells out, coldly, “Emperor, take out that overgrown rock!” Ice Emperor's stats rises from 4200/3200 to 5200/3200 due to its ability and then slices Giant Soldier of Stone in half and it is destroyed, but since it was in defense mode, Darien's life-points didn't take a hit. White Darien then displays a spell card with a picture of White Knight Lancer rushing through a group of monsters in a blur and he says, putting the card in the spell/trap slots, “I play my White Rush spell card! This card allows my Emperor to attack again as long as I cut his power in half for this turn!”

 

Darien yells out, shocked, “What?!” Ice Emperor's stats reduce down from 4200/3200 to 2100/3200!

 

White Darien calls out, with a cold strong tone, “How does this help in making this clear, loser?! Attack!” Ice Emperor charges, slashes Darien, and he cries out as he loses 2100 life-points with his energy getting drained. Darien falls to one knee and White Darien says, with an evil sly smile, “I'll end my turn! But you can't win, Shields! My Ice Emperor is the strongest monster on the field and you only have three hundred life-points left! It is always the same thing! You always try to protect and help your precious princess, but in the end, it is always her that's protecting and saving you! She is a legendary ninja with a name and skills known throughout the ninja world and she managed to fight Master Sartorius to a standstill through that bitch got lucky! And what did you do? Stand by the sidelines as always! You are totally useless to her and she would be better off without you! Most likely, she would have never become the `Supreme Queen' in the first place!”

 

Current Score:

Darien: 300

White Darien: 3350

 

Darien thinks in his mind, solemnly, “What if he is right? I always try to protect Sere, but in the end, she is the one protecting and saving me! She continues to get stronger and stronger while I remain the same! Maybe . . . Maybe I am not real use to Serena and she would be better off without me.”

 

But then a familiar female voice calls out, in a begging tone, “Darien, please don't give up!” Everyone looks to the source of the voice to see Serena and her `royal form' of Princess Serenity looking them, Serena's eyes were the same sinister silver eyes as the Supreme Queen, but she had concern and gentleness in her expression, and both Serena and Princess Serenity were entrapped in a dark auras.

 

Darien states, shocked, “Sere' . . .”

 

Serena tells Darien, with a pleading tone, “Darien, you can't give up! Without you, I am lost! I'm so confused, I don't know what to do, and I'm not sure about myself! But I know that you can help me find my way! It isn't your fault that I was taken over by Bastet! The reason that I became so strong is because of you! You were in my mind and heart all the time and I fought for you . . . for all of you! Please don't give in, Darien! I love you, now and forever!” Darien looks at Serena's silver pleading eyes, but then she groans out in pain as the Supreme Queen's evil voice that's laughing is heard. Serena and Princess Serenity fall to their knees.

 

Darien yells out, horrified, “Serena!”

 

Prince Endymon calls out, horrified, “Serenity!”

 

Serena says, with a weak smile, “Don't . . . give up, my love. I'm always with you . . .”

 

Princess Serenity says, with a weak smile and loving tone, “Never given in . . . I know that you will help Judai and the others save us . . .” Soon after, the two of them are swallowed by clouds of darkness.

 

White Darien says, with an evil sly smile and cold nasty tone, “How sweet! Oh, well!”

 

Darien says, drawing one card with an angry tone, “Shut up, you fake! As long as Sere' needs me, I won't give up on her! This duel ends now!” Darien puts one card in the spell/trap slots and Darien says, seriously, “I play my Pot of Greed! Now, I draw two cards from my deck!” Darien draw two cards from his deck, puts one card in the spell/trap slots, and he yells out, “Next, I play Monster Reborn in order to bring back your Gilford!” Just then Gilford the Lightning (2800/1400) comes to the field in attack mode and Darien calls out, strongly, “Now, attack!” Gilford then moves in to attack Ice Emperor.

 

White Darien says, with a cold nasty tone, “Are you blind, idiot?! My Emperor is stronger than loser you brought back!”

 

Darien puts a card in the spell/trap slots and he yells out, “However, I play my Battle Fusion spell card! Now, my Gilford gains the power of your monster!” White Darien gasps as Gilford's stats rise from 2800/1400 to 7000/1400!

 

White Darien says, with a cold strong tone, “So, what?! I'll still have life-points left!”

 

Darien pushes a button on his duel disk and he calls out, with a sly smile, “Not when I play my face-down: Rush Recklessly!” Darien's face-down card is revealed to be the Rush Recklessly Quick-Spell card and Darien says, strongly, “Thanks to this card, my Gilford gains seven hundred more attack points!” Gilford's stats rise from 7000/1400 to 7700/1400!

 

White Darien says, horrified, “No, it can't be!”

 

Darien says, strongly, “Oh, but it can, you fake! As long Serena still needs me, I will never give in to you or any enemy! Gilford, crush this fake and send him back to void where he belongs!” Gilford roars as it slices Ice Emperor in half causing it to explode and White Darien shouts out as he loses 3500 life-points, ending the duel immediately.

 

Final Score:

Darien: 300

White Darien: 0

 

As the hologram fades away, White Darien shatters into particles of sickly white that fade into nothingness that float into the sky. Darien breathes heavily and takes a deep breath.

 

Prince Endymon tells Darien, with a smile, “Well done, Darien. I knew that you could do it.”

 

Darien says, with a nod, “Thanks. However, you are right. Moping around won't bring Serena and Serenity back to our arms. Even through I can't support her physically, I can be there for her in spirit. I can give her my strength and this time, I plan to become stronger in body and mind to help her more than ever.”

 

Prince Endymon says, with a nod and a smile, “It's about time!”

 

Darien thinks, with a determined tone, “Don't worry, Sere'! We're coming! We won't stop until you, Kagome, and Davis are back on our side! No matter what it takes! We will save you from your darkness!”

 

(In another area of Duel Academy; A short time later)

 

On top of the roof of the main building of Duel Academy, we find none other than our Digidestined of Light and Sailor Senshi of the Stars, Hikari `Kari' Kamiya, looking over the rest of Duel Academy with a solemn look on her face. With Davis' `possession' by his `dark side', the Chaos Pharaoh, Kari has a solemn look on her expression.

Kari says, lowly, “Oh, Daisuke . . . I never knew that you held such pain in your heart. I don't know the full details, but facing madmen like that in your past and ending up the good person that you are now, you really must have had to endure so much. Oh, how I wish I could have know and could have been there to help you better. I wish that I could see you again.”

 

Just then a loud male groan and a familiar male voice groan out, weakly, “K-Kari . . .” Kari whips to the source of the voice to see badly haggard and wearily Davis Motomiya in his black and blue male Obelisk Blue blazer stumbling towards her.

 

Kari asks, stunned, “Davis?” Immediately, Davis falls to his knees and Kari immediately rushes over to him. She puts him in her arms and she asks, stunned, “Davis, is that really you?”

 

Davis gives a weak version of his usual smile and he says, weakly, “Yeah. Who else wares this mug?”

 

Kari says, with a smile, “Oh, Daisuke, I missed you!”

 

Davis tells Kari, weakly, “I missed you, too.”

 

Kari asks Davis, concerned, “What happened to you?”

 

Davis says, wearily, “Serena . . . Kagome . . . No, that damn Supreme Queen and Hell Priestess that they've turned into . . . when they found that I managed to break from . . . my basted `dark side's' control . . . they quickly tried to get rid of me . . . to get rid of HIM . . .”

 

Kari asks, curiously, “The Chaos Pharaoh?”

 

Davis nods and replies, “No joke. He is threat to their power. However, I might have gotten free, but I don't how long I can . . . contain him . . .”

 

Kari tells Davis, with a serious tone, “Don't worry, Dai-chan! We'll fight him! We'll fight him together!”

 

Davis tells Kari, with a loving tone, “I know so, Kari. With you around, I can do anything.” Soon after, Kari and Davis engage in a passionate kiss, but Kari felt something a bit off with Davis' kiss.

 

Kari thinks in her mind, perplexed, “Davis' kiss . . . Something feels a bit off . . .” Davis embraces Kari gently and she embraces back while they close their eyes as they continue to kiss. As they continue to kiss, Kari doesn't notice or feel dark energy coming from Davis' hands into her body. Soon enough, they release from the kiss and Davis starts to kiss Kari's collarbone. Kari gives slight moans of pleasure and she says, lowly, “Daisuke . . .”

 

Davis tells Kari, with a loving tone, but his voice sounds a bit `darker', “I'm glad that I'm here with you, Kari.” Davis' hands, producing dark energy, roams up Kari's back and sending more dark energy into her while his continues to kiss her neck, collarbone, and lips. Soon enough, Davis' right hand goes to Kari's neck while he kisses her passionately on the lips. Just then Davis produces a Dark Spore in his right hand and inserts it into Kari's neck without her feeling or noticing it. Soon after, he releases from the kiss and Davis tells Kari, in a dark loving tone, “Kari . . . I think that `other half' of me awoke . . . is because of what that alien bastard did to you . . . making you cold and emotionless . . . I just felt so angry inside . . . what about you?”

 

As Davis continues to kiss her neck and collarbone, Kari says, lowly, “Yes . . . I remember all of the horrible things that I did . . . how I hurt people without emotion . . . heartlessly . . . ruthlessly . . . how I brainwashed TK, Ken, and Yolei . . . how I almost brainwashed you most of all . . . my heart ached . . .”

 

Davis tells Kari, with a dark loving tone, “Yes, my heart ached to. I left angry inside. That damn demon turned into his puppet and his tool. And I couldn't let him go unpunished. I know how you must feel about it. The hurt deep inside . . .”

 

Just then the memories of what she did under the control of Light of Destruction flow into her mind, she is unable to get them out, and Kari says, rage inside of her building like never before, “Yes . . . I hurt . . . but most of all . . . I . . . I hate him . . . I hate it . . . The Light of Destruction . . . He used all of us to hurt you . . . to hurt Serena . . . to hurt everyone . . .” Kari opens her eyes and they start to narrow into an angered scowl with a hint of dark violet forming in them. Kari says, her tone starting to fill with dark anger, “He is heartless asshole . . . he deserves no mercy . . . he has to be stopped no matter what . . . but you are always the one battling him . . . and getting hurt while I stay behind helpless. I don't want to be helpless! I don't want to stay on the sidelines! I want to make him pay for what he did to all of us!” Kari's gentle brown eyes start to slowly become dark violet and full of dark fury.

 

Davis tells Kari, with a dark sly smile and dark loving tone, “I can help you, Kari. I know how you can get stronger so you can fight beside me.”

 

Kari asks Davis, curiously, “How?”

 

Davis tells Kari, with a dark loving tone, “You need to embrace power. Embrace the power of darkness within yourself in full. Remember what he did, how it made you feel, and feed off it. It will give you great strength.” Kari isn't sure and her nervous expression shows it. Davis kisses her on the lips and he tells her, in a dark lustful and loving tone, “Trust me, Kari. I felt the same way, but I know it is the only way to stop him. The one and true way. Trust me.” His words reach deep in Kari as the memories of what happened while she was under the Light of Destruction's control and even after up to the point with battle between the Light of Destruction and the `Chosen Duelists'. The pain, the anguish, the sorrow, and more filled Kari with more dark anger and fury. She couldn't stop herself from his dark fury and dark thoughts flowing in her mind, overwhelming her, and she can't stand the feelings of helplessness and pain from the memories of Davis along with the other Chosen Duelists battling the Light of Destruction while she watched helpless with Davis getting hurt, Jordan's and Jade's future daughter, Celeste, getting brainwashed, and what Celeste is now.

 

Kari thinks in her mind, filled with dark fury and angry, “I don't . . . I don't . . . I don't care what it takes to stop that alien demon . . . that heartless devil that it is . . . the Light of Destruction will pay! I don't want to be helpless! I want to be strong! I want to be strong to stand by Daisuke and not watch him battling helplessly like some kind of baby! I DON'T CARE WHAT IT TAKES AS LONG AS I HAVE POWER! THE POWER TO STOP HIM CAUSING PAIN! THE POWER TO STAND BY DAISUKE! I WANT POWER!!!” Soon after, Kari gives a loud scream of dark fury as a black aura covers her with her eyes turning from brown to dark violet in color and her golden star with crescent moon sigil on her forehead becomes a black star with dark violet crescent moon. Soon after, Kari goes onto her hands and knees and `Davis' gives an evil sly smile as his eyes become sinister demonic-like golden color once more and he turns back into the Chaos Pharaoh.

 

Chaos Pharaoh asks Kari, with a dark loving tone, “How do you feel, my queen?”

 

Kari's mouth twists into an evil sly smile and she replies, with a dark loving tone, “What do you think, my Pharaoh?” Kari slowly rises to her feet and opens her eyes to reveal sinister demonic dark violet eyes. Kari says, with a dark cold sly tone, “Mmm, it feels good to be out.”

 

Chaos Pharaoh tells Kari, with an evil sly grin, “Yes, I knew that you were in there. Hidden deep within the beloved of my `weaker half'. However, you were much weaker than I was since Kari didn't experience as much darkness in her life as Daisuke did. However, this experience gave you enough dark energy to survive deep within Kari's heart. I remember about those `Dark Spores' and how they unlocked the darkness within the former `Digimon Empress', Ken Ichijouji, so, I knew they could magnify the pain within Kari to unlock you, my dear.” Chaos Pharaoh kisses Kari on the cheek and he says, with an evil sly smile and dark cold loving tone, “Welcome to this world, Dark Empress-Ishtar, my queen.”

 

This new `Dark Kari', Dark Empress-Ishtar, replies, with a dark loving tone, “Mmm, thank you, my king.” The two of them embrace and lock in a passionate kiss with mating their tongues and tasting each other's saliva. When they release from the kiss, the Dark Empress looks over herself and she says, with a dark cold sly smile, “Not bad. This uniform does leave a bit to the imagination.”

 

Chaos Pharaoh says, with an evil sly smile, “You were always loved to wear such `revealing' clothing to entice me and others to get what you want. Seduction has always been your specialty.”

 

Dark Empress replies, with a dark cold loving tone, “Mmm, you know me too well, my Pharaoh. Am I the only member of your court or just the start?”

 

Chaos Pharaoh says, with a dark cold seductive tone, “Just the start my dear. I plan to have a little group in my `inner circle', but you know you are always my queen.”

 

Dark Empress responds, with a dark cold sly tone, “And don't you forget it, my Pharaoh. But I'm looking forward to a few female `playmates'.” Chaos Pharaoh then creates a dark portal in front of him.

 

Chaos Pharaoh tells Dark Empress, with a dark cold loving tone, “Time to go, my queen. Come.”

 

Dark Empress replies, with a dark cold seductive tone, “Your wish is my command, my king.” Soon after, the two of them head into the portal and vanish after they step through, but what they didn't know is that Axel and Jim are watching from the shadows.

 

Jim says, seriously, “Crikey! This isn't good, Axel! We are too late!”

 

Axel says, with a serious tone, “We had better inform the others about this.”

 

Jim says, seriously, “That young lass older brother's isn't going to like this!”

 

Axel says, with a serious tone, “That's the least of our worries! If Kari had one of those `dark personalities' like Davis, Serena, and Kagome does, we could be in big trouble. Their powers were beyond belief! Now, add Kari Kamiya into the mix and we have a major recipe for disaster.”

 

Jim says, with a serious tone, “Good point, Axel! Let's go!” Immediately, Jim and Axel head off to find the others and inform them of the latest development.

 

(Near the `White Dorm'; around the same time)

 

On the meanwhile, near the `White Dorm', we find Kagome's three brainwashed friends, Ayumi, Eri, and Yuka, walking away from their dorm and they have cold angered looks on their faces with their duel disk attached to their left wrists.

 

Eri yells out, with a cold angered tone, “Damn that dog! He took Kagome into the darkness with him!”

 

Yuka says, with a cold serious tone, “Most likely, he and the other nonbelievers are messing with her mind and filling her mind with darkness and lies!”

 

Ayumi says, with a cold strong tone, “Not while we're around! I don't care what it takes! We're getting Kagome back and making all of them have to see the Light!”

 

Just then a familiar female voice yells out, with a dark cold plain tone, “Don't count on it, white dorks!” The three of them turn to see a female figure in a kimono in front of them, but the female figure is obscured by the shadows.

 

Eri calls out, with a cold nasty tone, “I know that shape! It must that claypot wench that dog hangs around with!”

 

Yuka asks, with a cold serious tone, “You mean Kikyo?”

 

The female figure says, with a dark cold nasty tone, “Kikyo? Ha! Don't compare me with that weak claypot wench of a miko!” Soon after, the female figure walks into the open to reveal none other than the Hell Priestess with a black version of the Academy Duel Disk attached to her left wrist.

 

The three SOL girls gasp in shock and Ayumi asks, stunned, “K-Kagome?”

 

The Hell Priestess replies, with evil sly grin, “Sorry, girls, Kagome isn't here anymore. I am the Hell Priestess-Izanami.”

 

Eri asks, stunned, “Izanami? The Japanese Shinto Goddess of Creation and Destruction?”

 

The Hell Priestess responds, with a dark cold plain tone, “Indeed. I shall destroy this world and remake in my own image. And you shall help me.”

 

Yuka yells out, with a cold strong tone, “No way! Whoever you are, you are getting out of Kagome's body right now!”

 

The Hell Priestess puts a dueling deck in her duel disk, it glows a pitch black color for second, and she says, with a dark cold sly tone, “Yes, you will. Not because of some stupid `destiny' or `Light', but because I said so. I am the mistress of Creation and Destruction. The Supreme Mistress of all mikos and you shall obey me from now on. In fact, I shall show you by beating all three of you at once.”

 

The three SOL girls put their decks in their duel disks and Ayumi says, with a cold serious tone, “Not in this life-time witch! Prepare to see the Light!”

 

The Hell Priestess glows a deep dark violet and she replies, with a dark cold plain tone, “No. You should prepare . . . to become one with the darkness.” As all four of them activate their duel disks, the Hell Priestess gives such an imitating aura that the three SOL girls are quite scared of her. With a few minutes, the screams of the girls can be heard with a large explosion of dark orange light. When we get a better look, we find the Hell Priestess standing over the forms of the three fallen former SOL girls and she has their three White Veil spell card in her right hand. The three White Veil spell cards are engulfed in black flames and turn into nothingness. The Hell Priestess thinks in her mind, with an evil sly smile, “Excellent. With their defeat, they shall be my loyal miko warriors of destruction.” Soon after, a black aura covers the Hell Priestess' form and she transfers dark energy into the three unconsciousness girls. They groan out in pain as the dark energy goes into their bodies, their female SOL uniforms transform into black and dark red kimonos, their duel disks become pitch black and dark blue, and their hair become pitch black with dark violet and blood red highlights. When the dark aura fades away, Hell Priestess tells them, with dark cold commanding tone, “Rise and serve your mistress, my warriors. The three `transformed' girls groan as they slowly rise to their feet and when their eyes open, they reveal dark red sinister demonic-like eyes.

 

The three girls states, in a dark cold obedient tone and in unison, “How may we serve our mistress?”

 

Hell Priestess replies, with an evil sly smile, “You shall help me acquire the dark powers of the Sacred Beasts. Serve me well and you shall be reward with power beyond your dreams.”

 

Eri says, with an evil sinister smile, “Ooh, sounds pretty good to me.”

 

Ayumi says, with an evil sly smile, “Mistress, may we also take down that fool that used us like his little `puppets'?”

 

Hell Priestess replies, with an evil sly smile, “Indeed. Actually, I have a better idea. When we gain the Sacred Beasts, how about we crush his little society and use its members as our own `toys'.”

 

Yuka licks her lips evilly and replies, with an evil wicked grin, “Ooh, sounds like fun, mistress. Can't wait.”

 

Hell Priestess says, with an evil sly smile, “Business before pleasure, my servant. Now, it is time for us to plan for our bid for the Sacred Beast cards. Let's go!”

 

The three girls replies in unison, “Yes, mistress!” Soon after, the four girls are covered in a cloud of darkness and when the cloud disperses, all four of them are gone. On the meanwhile, on the roof of the `White Dorm', we find Celeste watching this happen.

 

Celeste says, with a cold serious tone, “Master Sartorius will be needed to be informed of this.” Celeste immediately races off into the `White Dorm' to inform the leader of the Society of Light about what happened, but on the meanwhile, what Celeste didn't know is that Melody was watching from the bushes.

 

Melody says, with a low tone, “Damn it! This is just great! What we didn't need right now! Those three girls have been taken from one evil freak into other! That damn wench is more trouble than she is worth sometimes!” Soon after, Melody leaps off towards the Ra Yellow and Slifer Red dorms to inform the other heroes and heroines about what just happened.

 

(Sometime later; In front of the Ra Yellow Dorm)

 

Sometime later, we find our heroes and heroines, minus Davis, Serena, Kagome, and Kari, assembled together as Axel and Jim explains what happened to Kari and Melody explains about what happened to Eri, Ayumi, and Yuka. After they were done, it would be safe to say that saying that our heroes and heroines were shocked would be a major understatement.

 

Tyranno says, with a plain tone, “We needed this like a hole in the head.”

 

Tai yells out, angrily, “That damn son of a bitch! I can't believe that `Chaos Pharaoh' is another side of Davis! Davis would never do anything like that to my sister!”

 

Syrus asks, nervously, “Now, what do we do?”

 

Bastion says, with a serious and logical tone, “Well, it is safe to assume that the Hell Priestess is after the Sacred Beast cards and I mean the real ones.”

 

Alexis says, seriously, “If she gets her hands on them and harness them, the whole world could end!”

 

Atticus says, with a serious tone, “No joke, Lex!”

 

Mindy asks, plainly, “Won't she need those keys in order to unlock them?”

 

Bastion says, with a logical tone, “Yes, but they are in the hands of Chancellor Sheppard and he doesn't stand a chance against dark powers like the Supreme Queen, Chaos Pharaoh, and Hell Priestess.”

 

Ami says, with a nod, “That's right. He is only human. We're going to need to increase security for him.”

 

Ayeka says, with a serious tone, “My guardians might be able to handle the job.”

 

Ryoko says, with her usual tone, “We're going to need more than those overgrown logs to get the job down. Did you see the power of those three?”

 

Washu says, with a serious tone, “I did and Ryoko has a point! The only chance that we have right now is those who are Valkyrie Class Sailor Scouts or their Olympian Solar Senshi counterparts as well as those warriors on par with the Valkyrie Sailors and Olympian Solar like Jordan.”

 

Rei says, with a nod, “Good point. When Nyoko gained Valkyrie class powers, she managed to beat back those three.”

 

Jade says, with a serious tone, “However, they are difficult to beat. They are no joke in combat.”

 

Tsunade says, with a serious tone, “That's a good point. Their sinister chakras are incredible and ruthless and relentless when it comes to battle.”

 

Molly asks, curiously, “It makes me wonder: If they are this good in combat, how will they do dueling?”

 

Keiko says, with a serious tone, “It is safe to assume that since Davis is going to use the forbidden Evil Heroes deck that he took from Jaden's mom and cousin that the Supreme Queen will use the Advanced Crystal Beast/Rainbow Dark Dragon deck in Serena's possession.”

 

Ami then says, seriously, “Oh, wait! I have something to counter that!” Ami then takes out the Super Polymerization Quick-Spell card (A/N: Originally, I called it by its Japanese name, but now, I've decided to call it by its English name. So, `Super Fusion' is `Super Polymerization') from her pocket and shows it to everyone.

 

Zoe asks, curiously, “Super Polymerization?”

 

Tommy asks, perplexed, “What is that?”

 

Ami says, seriously, “The only card that can stop the Advanced Crystal Beast deck and maybe all other Forbidden decks.”

 

Our heroes and heroines gasp in shock and Alexis asks Ami, “Ami, how can you be so sure?”

 

Ms. Haruna says, with a serious tone, “Because I told her that.” When everyone looks at Ms. Haruna, she says, “Well, Mister Pegasus gave me the Advanced Crystal Beasts and then the Rainbow Dark Dragon card to protect, he also gave me this card. He said that he learned from Yugi and Atem that the power of unity was a great and he desired this `ultimate spell card' based on it.”

 

Atem asks, curiously, “He did?”

 

Ms. Haruna nods her head and she says, “Yes, she did. It might be the only card strong enough to counter the powers of the Advanced Crystal Beast deck, but it has to be weld by a powerful duelist. One with great abilities and instincts that match the skill and abilities of the duelist that holds that forbidden deck. Mister Pegasus gave to me just in case either Jesse Anderson or Serena got their hands on this deck.”

 

Jesse states, looking at the Super Polymerization spell card, “This is plum amazing! Are you saying that this one card can counter that `dark version' of my Crystal Beast deck?”

 

Ms. Haruna says, with a serious tone, “If used correctly, then yes.”

 

Jaden goes over to Ami and he tells Ami, “And I think that duelist has to be me.”

 

Yeshua says, with a nod, “Yes, I would believe it best.”

 

Ino asks, plainly, “What makes you so sure?”

 

Yeshua tells Ino, in a flat monotone voice, “Serena is a `Chosen Duelist' and the `Supreme Queen' is her `true dark side', so, she retains much of her power as a `Chosen Duelist'.”

 

Bastion says, with a logical tone, “And the only way to beat a `Chosen Duelist' with another one or someone like them, namely Inuyasha. Plus, Serena's has similar `Miracle Draw' abilities as Jaden does, but then again, so do many of the `Chosen Duelists'.”

 

Jordan says, with a plain tone, “Plus, Jaden-aniki is Serena-onee-chan's brother. They have a close bond even if it was millennia ago.”

 

Jade says, with a smile, “Good point, Jordy.”

 

Keiko says, with a nod, “I agree. I think that it should be Jaden that duels the Supreme Queen.”

 

Ami gives Jaden the Super Polymerization Quick-spell card and Jaden says, with a nod, “Thanks, Ami.”

 

Darien tells Jaden, with a serious tone, “We're right behind you, Jaden. We're counting on you.”

 

Jaden tells Darien, with a determined tone, “Don't worry, Darien. I know how you feel about my sis and I promise, on my honor as a Moon Prince and a duelist, I'll get Serena back . . . even if costs me my life.”

 

Alexis thinks in her mind, worriedly, “Let's hope that it doesn't come to that. I'm really scared! Jaden isn't fighting Serena, but the darkness within her. The Supreme Queen is totally ruthless and relentless. She could hurt Jaden badly, send him to the Shadow Realm, or worse! And I'll have to sit back helpless! I really hate this! Sitting around like some kind of helpless kitten or something! I really want to help my friends and Jaden!”

 

Just then a female voice, much like hers, but with a deeper and more mature tone, says in her mind, “There is a way to help! You have the power to help them!”

 

But then the dark female voice that's like hers that Alexis heard before calls out, with a dark sly tone, “No joke! You might have to deeply embrace more than you can handle! But then again, do you want to lose Jaden?”

 

Alexis calls out, mentally, “Okay, who are you?!”

 

The dark female voice replies, with a dark seductive tone, “You know who we are! Didn't you think it weird that you didn't get a `dark side' when you took the powers of Black Crystal? That's who I am, but I'm a lot more like Haou.”

 

Alexis asks, mentally, “Like Haou? Then why should I trust you?”

 

The first female voice says, seriously, “You should not be so trustful of your inner darkness, Alexis. The deep pain of your heart from your past and the immense feelings that you feel now might have caused your inner darkness to become more dangerous to everyone.”

 

The dark female voice retorts, with a dark sarcastic tone, “Am I more dangerous that son of a bitch that used you like a puppet? Do you remember what he made you do to Jaden Yuki, the one that you love? The one boy that caught your eye and the only one that understands you as a duelist and a person? He fought for you and nearly died for you. Deep down, you hate that alien asshole for what he made you do to Jaden and the others? Remember how he used you to brainwash Serena's friends, Jaden's friends, and how he use you to try to turn poor Jaden into his little tool in that beyond sick duel? Don't you want to lose Jaden to that alien freak show? Never to feel his touch, hear his voice, and be by your side again?” The horrible images of what she did while under the Light of Destruction's control, the image of Jaden that she saw in the abandoned dorm, and a new image of Jaden being swallowed by the Light of Destruction fills her mind.

 

Alexis thinks in her mind, with a dark angered tone, “No! No! No! I'll never forgive that asshole for the cruel and heartless things that he made me do to my friends and to Jaden! I won't lose him! I can't lose him! I want him by my side! I . . . I love Jaden! I love Jaden with all my heart!”

 

The dark female voice replies, with a dark sly and seductive tone, “Then you know what to do! You need to get stronger! And if you wish to win Jaden's heart, you must become his . . . totally and in full! I would tell you more, but you are a big girl and can figure that out for yourself.”

 

Tai asks, seriously, “Okay, we've gotten Serena taken care of? But what about Davis and Kari?”

 

Shippo asks, worriedly, “And Kagome and Inuyasha?”

 

Miroku asks, curiously, “Which leads me to ask this: Could anyone other than the `Chosen Duelists' have been reincarnated with similar `dark powers' and `dark sides' that they have?”

 

Koemna says, with a plain tone, “Anyone connected to the `Chosen Duelists' could have `dark sides' like the Supreme King, Supreme Queen, Chaos Pharaoh, and Hell Priestess, but like Kari and the `Dark Empress', they could be more `hidden' than others. And those most likely to be like the `Chosen Duelists' in this respect are the soulmates of the `Chosen Duelists'.”

 

Ami asks, shocked, “Like Serena and Darien?”

 

Yeshua says, with a nod, “Yes, Princess of Mercury.”

 

Yusuke says, drolly, “That's just great.”

 

Kira says, in a similar droll tone as her brother, “You are telling us, bro.”

 

Bastion says, with a serious and logical tone, “Anyway, I think that we should focus on finding and saving our friends first and thinking about these `dark sides' after we have saved them.”

 

Ryoko says, seriously, “Good point, Bastion. The time for talk is over and it is time for action!”

 

Ayeka states, annoyed, “Can't you do anything useful, pirate?!” Ryoko and Ayeka glare at each other nastily as Tenchi tries to separate them and calm them down.

 

Yusuke says, with a serious tone, “Well, if this is all right with everyone else, I'll be the one to take down that `Pharaoh' from his throne.”

 

Keiko asks Yusuke, curiously, “Are you sure, Yusuke?”

 

Yusuke tells Keiko, with a nod, “Yeah. Those memories when that bastard used you and me like his puppet get me pissed off, but I do know that Davis risked everything trying to stop that son of a bitch from using us! I can't help to feel guilty when I remember pounding him into the ground. He risked everything for all of us and now, it is my turn to return the favor and get him back from the darkness!”

 

Naruto says, with a serious tone, “I'll take Kari on.”

 

Hinata asks, nervously, “Are you sure, Naruto-kun?”

 

Naruto says, with a nod, “Yeah! Kari is Jaden's, Serena's, Seira's, and my sister from the Silver Millennium! When I was young, I never had any family, but then Iruka-sensei came into my life as a father figure for me and now, I have brothers and sisters to fight for and protect. I don't want to do this, Hina-chan, I need to do this! Believe it!”

 

Kakashi says, seriously, “Since you are a `Chosen Duelist' Naruto, I think that's the best choice.”

 

Sakura tells Naruto, with a serious tone, “And you had better not lose and let anything happen to you causing Hinata to be crushed or I will squash you flat, got it?!”

 

Naruto says, with a smile, “Don't I ever!”

 

Shippo asks, curiously, “Okay, what about Kagome?”

 

Hikari says, with a serious tone, “I think that I, Kira, or Keiko should duel her since we are the `Chosen Duelists' closest to her other than Davis and my bro.”

 

Jordan says, with a plain tone, “And we can figure how who will duel Eri-san, Ayumi-san, and Yuka-san through I wish to help.”

 

Jade says, with a nod, “Same here!”

 

Tyranno says, with a serious tone, “Okay, we have a battle plan! Now, what do we do?”

 

Temari says, with a serious tone, “Simple. I think that it is best that we split into teams and try to find them while one team protects Chancellor Sheppard and those Sacred Beast cards.”

 

Anko says, with a nod, “Good point. From what you told us, those things are dangerous. I mean around one year ago in the Hidden Leaf Village, all of our Duel Monsters card became blank and then returned to normal and from what you told us it was those Sacred Beasts and Jaden's defeat of them that did that.”

 

Syrus says, seriously, “No joke, ma'am! Those cards are dangerous!”

 

Hinata asks, curiously, “Jade-san, since Hell Star, Aurora Star, and Dark Star are with you, don't you think that you can control and tame those cards?”

 

Jade tells Hinata, with a nod, “That's a good point.”

 

Bastion asks, curiously, “Question is: How are we going to explain about all of us that have `ancient pasts' to convince Chancellor Sheppard about that?”

 

Jaden says, with a sigh, “Good point, Bastion. This is a real doozy.”

 

Chazz says, in his usual tone, “No duh, Slacker.”

 

Jasmine asks, curiously, “Maybe we should focus on protecting the cards instead.”

 

Washu says, seriously, “Good point, Jasmine. If we can keep them safe, then we don't have to worry about that problem.”

 

Zane asks, in a dark serious tone, “Well, how are you going to lure Miss Supreme Queen to battle Jaden when you find her?”

 

Syrus says, nervously, “Oh, dear. We didn't think of that.”

 

Zane says, with a dark sick smile, “Well, I already did.”

 

Everyone looks at Zane and Nyoko asks, perplexed, “You have?!”

 

Zane tells everyone, with a dark sick smile, “It is real simple actually. You need the right kind of bait and remember what or should I say, who, Bastet focused on in our first encounter? By using a genjutsu on him?”

 

Rei says, seriously, “Darien!”

 

Zane says, with a dark smile, “Correct. It seems like a bit of your `Meatball Head' princess is in the `Supreme Queen'. She wanted him to become her king. It is simple: Use Darien to bait her right to Jaden and then make sure that she can't escape.”

 

Nyoko says, nervously, “I don't know, it doesn't seem fair.”

 

Zane tells Nyoko, with a dark serious tone, “Life isn't fair, little girl! Do you think that the Supreme Queen will let us go when we use this trap on her?!”

 

Nyoko says, nervously, “Okay! Okay! I get it!”

 

Tsunade tells Zane, “Zane Truesdale, I watch what you say about Nyoko.”

 

Zane tells Tsunade, with a dark sly smile, “Spear me, Lady Hokage. Remember I am descendant of an alien race and I have special powers, too. And I haven't been lying around for all this time. I've been better in my usage of my new powers and if you want to see how good I am . . .”

 

Hikari tells Zane, in a begging tone, “Zane, this isn't the time! Please!”

 

Zane says, with a shrug, “Okay, Kari . . .”

 

Syrus and Jade think in their minds, solemnly, “Zane, what happened to you?”

 

Bastion says, in a serious tone, “Well, we have something of a plan. Now, we need to find the Supreme Queen and bring Darien to him.”

 

Washu says, with a sly smile, “I might have an idea on how to do that. Follow me.” Washu then heads for the Slifer Red dorms where she has her lab set up in Professor Banner's old room and many of our heroes and heroines wonder she has planned this time.

 

Jordan thinks in his mind, strongly, “Don't worry, Serena-onee-chan, we will bring you back! I promise!”

 

(Within the `palace' of the Chaos Pharaoh; A short time soon after)

 

Inside of the `palace' of the Chaos Pharaoh, we find relaxing a large room with the entrance covered by silk veils with a large square that has all four sides of the square room covered in interconnected large couches, the center of the room has a large marble table, and the rest of the room is covered in Arabian-style pillows of all shaped and colors. The crystal ball is in the center of the table and he is looking at an image of the Supreme Queen. Just then he hears footsteps coming closer to him. He looks to see a female figure through the silk curtains that block the entrance and when they open, the Chaos Pharaoh sees Kari AKA the Dark Empress enter this chamber with a harem outfit on her body.

 

Kari's black hair is still flowing behind her back, her lips are pitch black, her eyes are still dark violet sinister demonic-like, she has black gemstone earrings in the form of stars, a dark violet metallic choker with a black star jewel in center and dark blue jewels in six places around the choker with the choker around her neck, she has a harem top that cover the front and the sides of her voluptuous blossom, long black silk veils cover much of her arms, her fingernails are dark ruby red with black star on each fingernail, a diamond is inside of her navel, a long black silk `skirt' that only goes up to the bottom of her navel, leaving major mid-drift around her sexy and seductive body, and going down until nearly hits the floor, the `skirt' is cut in center place to allow her slender and sexy feminine legs to be seen, and she has black high-heel shoes on her feet.

 

Chaos Pharaoh tells the Dark Empress, with a dark cold sly tone, “You want something?”

 

The Dark Empress sits down in the room after closing the silk curtains behind her, shuffles over to the Chaos Pharaoh, and she says, with a dark cold sly tone, “What makes you think that I want something? You are so suspicious.”

 

Chaos Pharaoh tells Dark Empress, “You wouldn't wear something like that unless you want to seduce me or something.”

 

Dark Empress puts her hand over the Chaos Pharaoh's chest and she states, with a dark cold sly tone, “And what if I just want to have some `fun'?” Soon after, the Chaos Pharaoh and Dark Empress engage in a passionate kiss, dueling with their tongues, and Chaos Pharaoh wins out with him pushing his tongue into her mouth with him tasting every bit of her mouth.

 

When they break from the kiss, Chaos Pharaoh says, with a sly smile, “Hmm, I might be able to take a break . . .” Just then something on the crystal ball catches his eye along with the Dark Empress' eye and the two of them look to see the image of the Supreme Queen crushing two SOL members and draining their duel energy from them.

 

Dark Empress says, with a snort and dark cold plain tone, “She has been busy.”

 

Chaos Pharaoh tells Dark Empress, with a dark cold sly smile, “Don't worry, my sexy seductress. When we are done, the power that we will gain will force her, Haou, and Izanami to bow at our knees.”

 

Dark Empress says, with a dark cold sly tone, “Mmm, sounds fun.” As Chaos Pharaoh and Dark Empress continue to watch, what the two of them don't know is that something or, should I say, someone will interrupt the Supreme Queen's plans…

 

(Joining the Supreme Queen; A brief time later)

 

Over the bodies of two SOL members, one female and one male, the Supreme Queen, with a black Academy-style duel disk that has a dueling deck inside attached to her left wrist, looks over the two of them with a dark cold look in her sinister demonic-like silver eyes and he gives a dark cold sneer at them.

 

The Supreme Queen says, with a dark cold plain tone, “Pathetic fools. Did you really think that your pathetic `Light' could beat my darkness? Weaklings.” Just then a red rose slams in front of her and Supreme Queen looks to the source to find none other than Tuxedo Mask. Supreme Queen says, with a dark cold plain tone, “Prince Endymon.”

 

Tuxedo Mask says, seriously, “That's Tuxedo Mask to you, Supreme Queen.”

 

Supreme Queen tells Tuxedo Mask, with dark cold plain tone, “How rude. Did you think about my offer?”

 

Tuxedo Mask says, seriously, “I did and I'm not joining you. I want my love back. You might have her body, but you don't have her heart. I will get her back.”

 

Supreme Queen says, with dark cold plain tone, “Pity. It seems like you will stand in my way instead of standing by my side. You had great potential, but now . . .”

 

Tuxedo Mask says, with a serious tone, “Now, we find a better place to fight. Catch me if you can, Bastet, if you are not a coward.” Tuxedo Mask then leaps away and runs off to another section of Academy Island.

 

Supreme Queen gets an enraged expression and she says, with dark cold angered tone, “Coward. You dare mock my bravery and run away! You shall pay for that insult!” Supreme Queen glows a dark violet, she floats into the air, and flies off after Tuxedo Mask. On the meanwhile, Tenten, Neji, Lee, Sakura, and Sasuke come out of hiding and go over to the unconscious former SOL members.

 

Sakura looks over them and she says, seriously, “They are alive, but I'll need to work on them fast.”

 

Sasuke says, seriously, “Right, Sakura. We'll keep watch.”

 

Tenten asks Neji, “Do you think that they will succeed?”

 

Neji says, with a serious tone, “We need to believe in Jaden and others.”

 

Lee says, with a strong tone, “With the power of youth on his side, Jaden will defeat this evil and bring back Serena.”

 

Tenten tells Neji, with a smile, “Same old Lee.” Neji gives Tenten a smile in reply causing her to blush a bit.

 

(Sometime later on; Elsewhere on Academy Island)

 

On the rooftop of the main building of Duel Academy, we find Tuxedo Mask using his agility and skills leaping up to the roof on the main building on Academy Island and turning around to find any sign of the Supreme Queen, but he doesn't see any sign of her.

 

Tuxedo Mask asks, perplexed, “Where did she go?”

 

Just then the Supreme Queen's voice booms with a dark cold sly tone, “Right here.” Tuxedo Mask gasps and turns around to the source of the voice to see a large dark violet sphere of darkness right in front of him created by the Supreme Queen, who had an evil sly smile on her lips. Supreme Queen tells Tuxedo Mask, with an evil sly smile, “It is a pity. You could have had it all, Tuxedo Mask. This world would have been a mere plaything for your amusement. I offered you the universe. Oh, well. It is too bad that you will not see me rise as the universe's great ruler.”

 

Just then a familiar female voice yells out, “Don't count on it!” The Supreme Queen turns to the voices only to get two armored fists in her right cheek and sending her across the roof causing her attack to fizzle out since her concentration is disrupted. When the Supreme Queen looks at who just attacked her and find the Shining Warrior and Valkyrie Sailor Heaven Star looking at her with serious expression on their faces.

 

Shining Warrior asks Tuxedo Mask, with a serious tone, “Are you okay, Darien-san?”

 

Tuxedo Mask says, with a nod, “Yes, Jordan. Good work to you and Jade. Nice save.”

 

Valkyrie Sailor Heaven Star says, with a sly smile, “No problem. Serena would never forgive us if we let you get fried by this body-snatching freak in her body.”

 

Supreme Queen says, with a dark cold serious tone, “You didn't learn the last time, huh? I shall teach you a lesson.”

 

Just then another familiar female voice shouts out, “Don't count on it, witch!” Soon after, the rest of our heroes and heroines, powered and non-powered, appear from all over the rooftop with Valkyrie Sailor Emerald Bright Star preparing her Spellbook with Valkyrie Sailor Mars having fire in her heads while Valkyrie Sailor Universe, Valkyrie Sailor Milky Way, and Valkyrie Sailor Galaxy prepare their weapons for battle.

 

Valkyrie Sailor Universe says, seriously, “This time, you are not getting away. You have all of us to deal with this time.”

 

Valkyrie Sailor Milky Way says, with a nasty tone, “And this time, those other two are no-shows.”

 

Supreme Queen says, with a dark cold plain tone, “I could care less. None of you shall take me down and I shall show you true power.”

 

Olympian Solar Star says, with a serious tone, “Just try us. We will take you down! Believe it!” Sailor Andromeda prepares her weapon as well as her Byakugan and stands by Olympian Solar Star's side.

 

Just then Jaden, with a duel disk that has a dueling deck inside attached to his left wrist, steps forward and he says, with a serious tone, “Supreme Queen! I challenge you to a duel! If you win, we let you go! If I win, you leave and return to Serena's body allowing Serena to have control of her body back.”

 

Supreme Queen says, with a dark cold sly grin, “What makes you think that she wants to come back? I think I'm doing a better job than her.” Supreme Queen says, while a black aura glows around her, “However, I never back down from a challenge until it is over, so, you have a duel. And I promise you that it will be your last Haou.”

 

Jaden says, with a serious tone, “My name is Jaden . . . Jaden Yuki, reincarnation of Prince Judai Serenity of the Moon Kingdom and brother to Princess Selene Serenity, heir to the throne and who's body that you taken over! And I promise that I will get my sis back! For me, Haou, is no longer a problem. I defeated him.”

 

Supreme Queen says, with a dark cold surprised tone, “What?!”

 

Alexis says, with a sly grin, “That's right, witch. Jay fought his inner darkness and beat it.”

 

Supreme Queen gives a dark cold wicked smile and she says, with a dark cold sly tone, “Then Haou must have been weaker than I thought. However, you won't beat me as easily as you beat that fool . . . Jaden.”

 

Jaden says, with a serious tone, “We'll see about that Supreme Queen! Now, get your game on!” Jaden and Supreme Queen activate their duel disks, their life-point counters display 4000 life-points each, and they draw five cards from their decks.

 

Jaden and Supreme Queen yell out in unison, “Let's duel!”

 

Starting Scores:

Jaden: 4000

Supreme Queen: 4000

 

Supreme Queen draws one card from her deck and yells out, dark cold tone in her voice, “Ladies first!” Supreme Queen puts then displays a spell card with a picture similar to Machine Angel Ritual, but it is taking place in a demonic place with a pitch black fire on a blood red pyre and female succubus in front of the pyre. Supreme Queen yells out, darkly, “I play my Fallen Angel Ritual!”

 

Syrus asks, perplexed like many of our heroes and heroines, “Huh? Fallen Angel Ritual?”

 

Tyranno says, seriously, “I don't like the sound of this!”

 

Supreme Queen says, with a dark cold plain tone while putting the card in the spell/trap slots, “Now, I can summon any Ritual Monster from my hand with `Fallen Angel' in its name as long as discard monsters with equal or more stars as the monster that I summon!” Supreme Queen displays Cyber Angel Idaten (1600/2000) Ritual Monster card, discards it to the graveyard, and she says, with an evil sly smile, “Now, I get rid of my Cyber Angel Idaten in order to summon Fallen Angel Wicked Lady!”

 

Our heroes and heroines gasp in shock and Lita yells out, shocked, “Wicked Lady?!” Just then Fallen Angel Wicked Lady (2000/1000), a monster that looks exactly like Wicked Lady expect that her hair is black with blood red highlights, dark violet glowed lips, and black fans in her hands, comes to the field in attack mode.

 

Hotaru says, shocked, “It looks a lot like Rini!”

 

Supreme Queen says, with an evil sly grin, “Don't compare that little brat of Moon Princess to this evil villainess!” Supreme Queen puts one card in the spell/trap slots and she says, with an evil sly grin, “I shall end my turn with a face-down card.”

 

Jaden says, drawing one card from his deck, “Okay, Bastet, my move!” Jaden puts one card on his duel disk and calls out, “I summon Elemental Hero Sparkman in attack mode!” Elemental Hero Sparkman (1600/1400) comes to the field in attack mode. Jaden puts one card in the spell/trap slots and yells out, “Next, I equip with Elemental Sword! Thanks to this card, my Sparkman gains eight hundred attack points when attacking a monster of a different attribute!” The handle of the sword appears in Sparkman's right hand and turns into a bright yellow blade. Jaden calls out, strongly, “Sparkman, attack her `lady' with Elemental Sword Strike!” Sparkman's stats rise from 1600/1400 to 2400/1400 and he leaps to attack Wicked Lady.

 

Jesse says, with a smile, “Way to go, Jay! You got her!”

 

Supreme Queen says, with an evil sly smile, “Not quite! He made one major mistake and now, he is going to pay! When my Wicked Lady battles with Light monster, she gains one thousand attack points!”

 

Our heroes and heroines gasp in shock and Jaden says, shocked, “No way!” Wicked Lady's stats rise from 2000/1000 to 3000/1000 and she gives an evil cry of power as she zaps Sparkman with dark lightning and it groans out as it is destroyed costing Jaden 600 life-points.

 

Supreme Queen says, with an evil sly grin, “By the way, when my Wicked Lady destroys a monster in battle, you lose the value of the destroyed monster's original attack or defense points depending on which is higher. Since his attack was higher, you lose sixteen hundred more life-points!” Wicked Lady launches another blast of dark electric energy and he cries out in pain as he is zapped while losing 1600 life-points.

 

Alexis calls out, horrified, “Jaden!” When the assault is done, Jaden's body is smoking and his clothes are somewhat burnt.

 

Jaden says, wearily, “T-That hurt.”

 

Supreme Queen says, with an evil sly grin, “That's right, you fool. This is a Shadow Game, but not like any you experienced! The winner gets to stay and the loser goes away . . . forever into the great beyond!”

 

Syrus yells out, horrified, “She means to kill Jaden!”

 

Jaden puts two cards in the spell/trap slots and he says, wearily, “Not while I have anything to say about it. I'll end my turn.”

 

Current Score:

Jaden: 1800

Supreme Queen: 4000

 

Supreme Queen draws one card from her deck and she says, with dark cold plain tone, “Disappointing. I thought that I would have more `fun' with you, Jaden.” Supreme Queen then commands, “Now, my Fallen Angel, rid the world of him once and for all! Black Moon Lightning!” Once again, Fallen Angel Wicked Lady fires her dark lightning right at Jaden.

 

Jaden pushes a button on his duel disk and says, with a sly smile, “I play my Spell: Flute of Summoning Kuriboh!” Jaden's face-down card is revealed to be the Flute of Summoning Kuriboh Quick Spell-Card and a card comes out of Jaden's deck that he puts one his duel disk. Jaden then says, with a sly smile, “Now, I summon Winged Kuriboh in defense mode!” Just then Winged Kuriboh (300/200) comes to the field in defense mode.

 

Supreme Queen retorts, with a dark cold nasty tone, “That little scrub won't help since my Wicked Lady gains more power.” Wicked Lady's stats rise from 2000/1000 to 3000/1000!

 

Jaden pushes a button on his duel disk and shouts out, with a sly grin, “That's what I hoped for since I play my Transcended Wings!” Jaden's other face-down card proves to be the Transcended Wings Quick-Spell card, he discards the two cards left in his hand, and he yells out, “Now, I sacrifice two cards in my hand and my buddy on the field to evolve him to . . . Winged Kuriboh Level 10!” Winged Kuriboh gives off a bright glow as a card comes out of Jaden's deck, he puts it on his duel disk, and Winged Kuriboh LV10 (300/200) replaced the original Winged Kuriboh in attack mode. Jaden yells out, strongly, “Now, I play his ability! I sacrifice him to destroy all of your monsters and you lose the value of their attack power!” Winged Kuriboh LV10 gives off a powerful blast of light and Wicked Lady screams as it destroys her causing Supreme Queen to groan as she loses 3000 life-points.

 

Tyranno exclaims, excitedly, “That's the way, Sarge!”

 

Atticus calls out, excitedly, “Great one, Jay!”

 

Yusuke says, with a sly grin, “Keep it up, pal!”

 

However, the Supreme Queen says, with an evil sly smile as she puts one card in the spell/trap slots, “Impressive. You are not as pathetic as I thought. But it will take more than that to beat me! I play my Pot of Greed and draw two more cards!” Supreme Queen draws two more cards from her deck, her Field Spell Slot opens, she puts a card in the slot, and she yells out, darkly, “Now, I play my Advanced Dark Field Spell!” When the slot closes, a ring of dark blue flames surrounds Jaden and Supreme Queen. She then puts one card on her duel disk and calls out, “Then I summon my Advanced Crystal Beast Emerald Turtle in defense mode!” Just then a dark emerald comes onto the field and transforms into Advanced Crystal Beast Emerald Turtle (600/2000) in defense mode. Supreme Queen says, with a dark cold plain tone, “My turn is over.”

 

Current Score:

Jaden: 1800

Supreme Queen: 1000

 

Jaden draws one card from his deck and calls out, “And it begins mine!” Jaden puts one card in the spell/trap slots and yells out, “I play my Card of Sanctity spell card! Now, both of us must draw from our decks until we have six cards in our hands!” Jaden and Supreme Queen draw from their decks until they have six cards in their hands and Jaden says, with a sly smile, “Sweet.” Just then an image of Elemental Hero Necroshade (1600/1800) appears behind him and Jaden says, with a sly grin, “Hey, Bastet, one of the cards that I discarded to my graveyard was my Necroshade and since he is there, I can summon one Elemental Hero without a sacrifice!” The image of Necroshade fades away and he puts a card on his duel disk. Jaden then yells out, “So, it is time for some Elemental Hero Neos!” Just then Elemental Hero Neos (2500/2000) comes to the field in attack mode. Jaden yells out, strongly, “Neos take out her Turtle! Cosmic Crush!” Neos leaps into the air, attacks Emerald Turtle, and with one karate chop, he destroys it, but since it was in defense mode, Supreme Queen takes no damage. Soon after, a dark emerald appears in Supreme Queen's spell/trap zones. Jaden puts two cards in the spell/trap slots and he says, plainly, “I'll end my turn with two face-downs.”

 

Supreme Queen says, with a serious tone, “And it is the end of you, Jaden.” Supreme Queen gives an evil wicked grin, puts the card she drew in the spell/trap slots, and yells out, “Now, I play a second Fallen Angel Ritual!” Supreme Queen displays Advanced Crystal Beast Amber Mammoth (1700/1600) and Advanced Crystal Beast Topaz Tiger (1600/1000) monster cards, discards them to the graveyard, and says, while putting a card from her hand on her duel disk, “I discard my Advanced Crystal Beasts, Topaz Tiger and Amber Mammoth, in order to summon my monster powerful Fallen Angel: Now, meet Fallen Angel Lilith! Just then a dark whirlwind appears behind Supreme Queen and Fallen Angel Lilith (2700/2400), a female humanoid monster with long flowing dark blue that goes to her buttocks, bat-wings coming out of her scalp, blood red demonic eyes, blood red colored lips, a top that covers up to the point of cover nearly the whole of her voluptuous blossom and down to her where she is wearing a short mini-skirt that goes down to one-quarter of her upper legs, her fingernails are six inches in length and claw-like, black silk stockings cover much of the rest of sexy and seductive feminine legs, she has black high-heeled boots that goes up half of her lower legs with five inch sharp stiletto heels, and two huge black demonic wings coming out with a pair of black angel wings coming out of her back, comes to the field in attack mode. Supreme Queen says, with an evil smirk, “Oh, thanks to her ability, she destroys one monster when summon and you lose half of its attack value.” Supreme Queen snaps her fingers and the evil monster gives a demonic screech that forces everyone to cover their eyes while Neos is destroys while Jaden yelps as he loses 1250 life-points.

 

Valkyrie Sailor Galaxy says, “Yow! I thought that Yusuke's and Kira's snoring was bad!”

 

The two Urameshi siblings yell out, annoyed, “Hey!”

 

Supreme Queen yells out, darkly, “Now, my Lilith, end this duel! Attack his life-points directly!” Lilith moves in for the kill to attack Jaden directly.

 

Jaden pushes a button on his duel disk and yells out, “Not so fast! I play my face-down: Call of the Haunted!” Jaden's face-down card is revealed to be the Call of the Haunted trap card and Jaden says, “This allows me to revive Neos from the graveyard!” Just then Elemental Hero Neos (2500/2000) returns to the field in attack mode.

 

Supreme Queen says, with an evil sly smile, “So, what? My monster can still get rid of him!”

 

Jaden pushes a button on his duel disk and he says, with a smile, “Not if I play my Hero Barrier trap card!” Jaden's other face-down card is revealed to be the Hero Barrier trap card and a blue barrier appears in front of Neos to shield him from Lilith's attack.

 

Supreme Queen says, with a dark cold plain tone, “That's enough from me.”

 

Current Score:

Jaden: 550

Supreme Queen: 1000

 

Jaden draws one card from his deck, puts the card in the spell/trap slots, and yells out, “I play my Pot of Greed and get two more cards!” Jaden draws two cards from his deck, puts one on his duel disk, and calls out, “And now, I play one of them! Neo-Spacian Flare Scarab!” Just then Neo-Spacian Flare Scarab (500/500-1300/500) comes to the field in attack mode. Jaden shouts out, strongly, “Neos! Flare Scarab! Contact Fusion!” The outer space theme appears in the sky and the two heroes leap into the sky combining in a bright light while their cards return to Jaden's deck. Jaden takes a fusion monster card from his fusion deck, puts it on his duel disk, and yells out, “Now, come on out Elemental Hero Flare Neos!” Out of the bright light, Elemental Hero Flare Neos (2500/2000-3700/2000) comes to the field in attack mode. Jaden says, putting one card in the spell/trap slot, “Since you have three cards in your spell and trap card zones, my Flare Neos gain eight hundred attack points, four hundred for each one! But I play my Instant Neo-Space equip spell! As long as my Flare Neos has this card, he stays on the field as long as he likes without Neo-Space on the field! Plus, since there is another card out, Flare Neos gain four hundred more points!” Flare Neos' stats rise from 3700/2000 to 4100/2000!

 

Valkyrie Sailor Heaven Star yells out, excitedly, “Way to go, Jay! Take it on home!”

 

Jaden calls out, “You heard her, Neos! Bring Serena back to us with Flare Storm!” Flare Neos leaps into the air and attacks Fallen Angel Lilith with a large fireball.

 

Supreme Queen pushes a button on her duel disk and shouts out, with a dark cold strong tone, “Wrong, Jaden! I play my Rainbow Path trap card!” Supreme Queen's face-down is revealed to be the Rainbow Path trap card and she says, with an evil sly smile, “Thanks to this card, I get rid of one Crystal Beasts in my spell and trap zones to the grave and your attack is negated! Farewell, Emerald Turtle!” The dark emerald vanishes from Supreme Queen's spell and trap zones and Flare Neos' attack is negated. Supreme Queen says, with an evil sly smile, “And since two cards are gone from my spell and trap zones, your Flare Neos loses eight hundred points!” Flare Neos' stats reduce from 4100/2000 to 3300/2000! Just then a card comes from Supreme Queen's deck, she puts it into her hand, and she says, with an evil smirk, “By the way, my trap also allows me to take one `Rainbow Dragon' or `Rainbow Dark Dragon' from my deck and add to my hand!”

 

Jaden puts two cards in the spell/trap slots and he says, with a serious tone, “I'll end my turn with a couple of face-downs and Flare Neos regains those attack points!” Flare Neos' stats rise back up from 3300/2000 to 4100/2000!

 

Supreme Queen says, with an evil smile while drawing a card, “Not for long, Jaden.” Supreme Queen puts one card in the spell/trap slots and yells out, with dark cold plain tone, “I play my Graceful Charity! Now, I draw three cards from my deck as long as I discard two from my hand!” Supreme Queen draws three cards from her deck, discards Advanced Crystal Beast Cobalt Eagle (1400/800) and Advanced Crystal Beast Amethyst Cat (1200/400) monster cards to the graveyard, puts one card on her duel disk, and calls out, “Next, I summon my Advanced Crystal Beast Sapphire Pegasus in attack mode!” Just then Advanced Crystal Beast Sapphire Pegasus (1800/1200) comes to the field in attack mode and Supreme Queen says, with an evil sly smile, “Now, thanks to its ability, I can put one Crystal Beast in my spell and trap zones!” A card comes out of Supreme Queen's deck and she puts it in her spell/trap slots causing a dark ruby to appear in her spell/trap zones causing her to say, “And I choose my Advanced Crystal Beast Ruby Carbuncle!”

 

Jaden says, with a serious tone, “Since there is a new card in your spell/trap slots, my Flare Neos gains four hundred points!” Flare Neos' stats rise from 4100/2000 to 4500/2000!

 

Supreme Queen says, with an evil smile, “That won't matter since I've got five Advanced Crystal Beasts in my graveyard and two on my field! The cards that I used with Graceful Charity were my Cobalt Eagle and Amethyst Cat!”

 

Our heroes and heroines gasp in shock and Jesse says, seriously, “That means she can . . .!”

 

Supreme Queen puts a card on her duel disk and yells out, “I summon my all mighty Rainbow Dark Dragon!” Just then a black and rainbow colors appears on the field and take the form of Rainbow Dark Dragon (4000/0) in attack mode. Supreme Queen says, with an evil smile, “Since your monsters are strong, I shall end my turn with this!” She puts a card in the spell/trap slots, a hologram of a face-down comes onto the field, and Flare Neos' stats rise from 4500/2000 to 4900/2000!

 

Shining Warrior asks, perplexed, “Why would she do that?”

 

Jaden thinks in his mind, while he draws a card, “I don't know, but I can't let her use Rainbow Dark Dragon's special ability!” Jaden calls out, strongly, “Flare Neos, destroys Rainbow Dark Dragon with Flare Storm!” Flare Neos attacks Rainbow Dark Dragon with a sphere of flames and destroys it.

 

Supreme Queen pushes a button on her duel disk and shouts out, dark cold sly tone, “Sorry, Jaden, but I play my Rainbow Life trap card!” Supreme Queen's face-down card is revealed to be the Rainbow Life trap card and she says, discarding one card from her hand to the graveyard, and she says, “By discarding one card from my hand, all that damage that you handed to me is instead increased my life-points!” Supreme Queen's life-points are increased by 900 points and she says, with an evil sly grin, “Plus, I sacrifice my ruby to revive my Rainbow Dark Dragon!” Just then the dark ruby vanishes from Supreme Queen's spell/trap zones and Rainbow Dark Dragon (4000/0) comes back to the field in attack mode while Flare Neos' stats reduce down to 4100/2000!

 

Jaden says, with a sigh, “I end my turn!”

Sailor Pearl Star says, with a serious tone, “She has all of Serena's skills and abilities. She turned that damage into more strength for her while keeping her most powerful monster on the field. This won't be easy for Jaden to win.”

 

Tsunade says, with a nod, “Indeed.”

 

Supreme Queen says, with an evil sly smile, “Sorry, Tsunade-sama, but Jaden won't be winning at all!” She draws one card, displays a spell card that has a picture of a large pot filled with cards, and she says, putting the card in the spell/trap slots, “Now, I play my Dark Alchemy spell card! This card allows me to sacrifice one Dark monster on the field, so, farewell my Fallen Angel!” Fallen Angel Lilith then vanishes from the field and Supreme Queen says, with an evil smile, “Now, I can draw one card from every two stars that it had! Since my Fallen Angel had eight stars, I get four new cards!” Supreme Queen draws four more cards from her deck, puts one card in the spell/trap slots, and she says, with an evil smile, “It's over! I play my Crystal Blessing spell card! This card allows me to move two Crystal Beasts from my graveyard to my spell and trap zones!” Two cards come out of Supreme Queen's graveyard and she puts them in her spell/trap zones causing a dark emerald and a dark cobalt crystal to appear on her field causing her to say, “And I choose my Cobalt and Emerald! Now, I play my Rainbow Dark Dragon's ability! I sacrifice my Pegasus along with my two crystals to increase its power by three thousand! Go, Dark Rainbow Overdrive!” The two crystals and Sapphire Pegasus are absorbed into Rainbow Dark Dragon causing it to roar as it stats rise from 4000/0 to 7000/0!

 

Bastion says, seriously, “This isn't good for Jaden!”

 

Supreme Queen says, with an evil smile, “And it looks worse for Jaden since thanks to my Advanced Dark Field Spell, the effects of all Effect Monsters on Jaden's side of the field are negated when my Rainbow Dark Dragon attacks!” Supreme Queen points to Flare Neos and she yells out, with dark cold serious tone, “Which is right now so Neos loses all of its power!” Flare Neos groans as it stats go down from 4100/2000 to 2500/2000!

 

Our heroes and heroines gasp in shock and Sailor Aurora Star yells out, horrified, “Oh no! If this attack hits, it is over for Jaden!”

 

Sailor Dark Star says, stunned, “No joke!”

 

Supreme Queen shouts out, with evil sinister smile, “Oh, well! Farewell, Jaden! Rainbow Dark Dragon, finish him with Rainbow Reflection!” Rainbow Dark Dragon fires a black and rainbow colored beam of energy right at the weakened Flare Neos.

 

Jaden calls out, pushing a button on his duel disk, “Wrong! Activate trap!” Just then Rainbow Dark Dragon's attack slams into Flare Neos causing a huge explosion.

 

Alexis, Syrus, Yusuke, Valkyrie Sailor Galaxy, Valkyrie Sailor Universe, Valkyrie Sailor Milky Way, Olympian Solar Star, and Tyranno call out in horror, “Jaden!”

 

Supreme Queen says, with an evil sly smile, “It's over.” But just then when the smoke clears, Jaden is revealed to be alive and well with 100 life-points remaining. Supreme Queen yells out, shocked, “What?! How can you still live?”

 

Jaden says, with a groan and pointing to a face-up Reduction Barrier trap card, “It is all thanks to this sweet trap card. It is known as Reduction Barrier.”

 

Bastion says, excitedly, “Brilliant! That trap card reduces all Battle Damage down to ten percent of its original value, so, Jaden loses only four hundred and fifty life-points instead of four thousand and five hundred, which would have ended the duel.”

 

Jaden says, with a sly smile, “Bastion's right! And since Flare Neos had Instant Neo-Space on him, I can summon good old Neos back to the field!” Just then a card comes out of Jaden's deck, goes onto his duel disk, and Elemental Hero Neos (2500/2000) returns to the field in attack mode.

 

Supreme Queen says, with a dark cold annoyed tone, “You are only delaying your demise and increasing your pain! I'll end my turn!”

 

Current Score:

Jaden: 100

Supreme Queen: 1900

 

Supreme Queen tells Jaden, with an evil sly grin, “Look at yourself, Jaden. You can barely stand and you are barely alive with only one hundred life-points remaining. Why not give in?”

 

Jaden says, strongly, “No! I won't give in! I've always dueled with all my power and strength! I swore that I'll get Serena back and I will! Count on it!” Jaden thinks in his mind, “Yeah, better said than done! How can I beat someone with so much ruthlessness and power as her?! She is incredible! What can I do?”

 

Just then Ironheart's voice booms into his mind, “Lord Jaden, there is a way! In order to defeat with someone with powers like the Supreme Queen, you need to harness the strength of your own inner darkness: Haou, the Supreme King! I know that you are afraid of becoming a monster like the Supreme Queen, Chaos Pharaoh, and Hell Priestess, but you must remember that you are Haou and Haou is you! You are two parts of the same whole! In order for the `true you' to emerge and the part of your soul to combine with you that's Prince Judai, your light and darkness must become one! And it might be the only one for the Light of Destruction to finally fall! This power was given to you in order for you to fight the Light of Destruction! Believe in yourself and you will never fall into the darkness! Remember your friends, your family, and all those that you love . . .!!” Ironheart's voice soon fades away.

 

Jaden closes his eyes and he thinks, strongly, “Ironheart is right! I've got my friends and my family behind me! Even Serena, I can still feel her spirit! As long as my friends and family are with me, there is nothing that I can do!” Just then Jaden's eyes shoot open and become the demonic-like golden eyes of the Supreme King causing him to yell out, strongly, “Okay, Bastet, let's duel!”

 

Our heroes and heroines gasp in shock and Jasmine says, worriedly, “Jaden's eyes!”

 

Alexis says, horrified, “Those are the eyes of the Supreme King, Jaden's dark side! But I thought he beat him!”

 

Yeshua says, with a flat monotone voice, “Jaden did beat his darkness, but he has revived the spirit of the Supreme King with him and taken control of his power by staring to fuse with him.”

 

Syrus asks, worriedly, “Isn't that dangerous?!”

 

Atem says, seriously, “Remember, the Supreme King is a part of Jaden's heart, the dark half, while the Jaden that we know is his `light half'. When the two halves become one, the true Jaden Yuki will finally emerge.”

 

Atticus says, seriously, “It is what the `true Jaden Yuki' is like that worries us.”

 

Alexis says, seriously, “Atticus, we need to believe in Jaden!”

 

Jaden, his eyes glowing like the Supreme King, says, with a strong and determined tone not heard in him, “It's move! I draw!” Jaden draws one card from his deck and into his hand and he says, with a serious tone, “I switch Neos into defense mode!” Neos switches from attack mode into defense mode and Jaden says, with a serious tone, “And now, I end my turn!”

 

Supreme Queen says, with a dark cold plain tone, “So, you have accepted that the Supreme King is a part of you, huh, Jaden?”

 

Jaden says, with a dark wicked smile similar to Supreme King, “Part of me? Wrong, Bastet, I am the Supreme King, now and forever.” Our heroes and heroines become unnerved, expect for Yeshua, but then Jaden says, with his classic sly grin, “However . . . I'm not going to let the darkness control me, Bastet. I'm the Supreme King, but I am also Jaden Yuki, the future King of Games! I duel for fun and to protect all that I care about, so, don't think that your mind-games will work on me!”

 

Our heroes and heroines, minus Hiei and Yeshua, gives wide grins and Zane says, with a dark sick smile, “I'm impressed. Jaden took full control of his inner dark power and not let it control him.”

 

Syrus says, with a smile, “Same old Jay!”

 

Supreme Queen draws one card from her deck and yells out, with a dark cold annoyed tone, “Oh, really?! Then celebrate this! Rainbow Dark Dragon, destroy his precious Neos with Rainbow Reflection!” Rainbow Dark Dragon fires a beam of black and rainbow energy at Neos and destroying him in a strong explosion, but since he was in defense mode, Jaden doesn't lose any life-points.

 

Jaden says, strongly, “Neos!”

 

Supreme Queen tells Jaden, with an evil sly smile, “Ha! And now, you have nothing! Your strongest monster is now gone! You have nothing left!”

 

Jaden says, with a strong and determined tone, “Wrong, Bastet, this duel isn't over until the last life-point is gone and last time that checked, I still have a bit!”

 

Supreme Queen says, with a dark cold plain tone, “Don't expect it to save you. I'll end my turn.”

 

Jaden thinks in his mind, determined, “She's wrong! I know that there is a card in my deck that can help me win and I know that I can draw it!” Jaden closes his eyes, again, and reaches down to his deck. He thinks in his mind, strongly as images of his friends, family, and loved ones come into his mind, “I can feel your strength, your hopes, and your dreams pulsing through my deck and the hope to bring Serena, Davis, Kari, and Kagome back to us!” When Jaden is about to draw his card, the images of Serena, Davis, Kari, and Kagome come into his mind, he opens his eyes, which are still like the Supreme King's eyes, he draws his card, and without looking at it, he puts it in his spell/trap slot, declaring, “I throw down a face-down and end my turn!”

 

Everyone, minus Yeshua, are confused by this move and Ryoko asks, perplexed, “Why did he put that card without evening looking at it?”

 

Washu says, logically, “Well, we know that it is a spell or trap card since his duel disk accepted it that way.”

 

Syrus yells out, worriedly, “But Jay didn't even look at it! What was he thinking?”

 

Atem says, with a sly smile, “He didn't need to know at it because Jaden knows exactly what that card is.”

 

Everyone looks at Atem and Yugi asks him, perplexed, “He does?”

Atem says, with a smile, “He did, Yugi. His deck answered his call for help and now, we shall see if the card he needed will help him win.”

 

Supreme Queen says, with a dark cold plain tone, “Wishful thinking, Atem. The thought of his demise must have clouded his thought processes.”

 

Jaden says, with a dark sly grin, “You think? Then test me.”

 

Supreme Queen says, with a dark cold serious tone while drawing a card, “I will!” Supreme Queen puts one card in the spell/trap slots and yells out, “Now, I play my Pump Up spell card! This card will double my Dragon's power for this turn!” Rainbow Dark Dragon roars as it stats rise from 7000/0 to 14,000/0!

 

Sailor Dark Star says, stunned, “Whoa! Major overkill!”

 

Kurama says, seriously, “Coming right for Jaden!”

 

Supreme Queen yells out, with an evil sly smile, “Now, Rainbow Dark Dragon, finish him off! Kill Jaden with Rainbow Reflection!” Rainbow Dark Dragon fires its black and rainbow beam of energy right for Jaden.

 

Jaden pushes a button on his duel disk and calls out, “Wrong! I play my Soul Resurrection trap card!” Jaden's face-down card is revealed to be the Soul Resurrection trap card and Jaden says, with a sly grin, “Thanks to this card, I get to summon Neos back to the field in defense mode!” Elemental Hero Neos (2500/2000) then appears on the field in defense mode.

 

Supreme Queen says, with an evil sly smile, “So, what? My dragon has more than enough power to take him out.”

 

Jaden points to the hologram of the card that he put in the spell/trap slots without looking at it and Jaden says, with a wide grin, “He won't get the chance because this card right here is going to take you down right now!” Jaden pushes a button on his duel disk and calls out, strongly, “Now, I play my face-down! Go, Super Polymerization!” Just then the face-down card that Jaden `threw down' without looking at the card is none other than the Super Polymerization Quick-Spell card!

 

Our heroes and heroines, minus Yeshua, gasp in shock and Ami calls out, “That's the card! The one that can help Jaden beat her Rainbow Dark Dragon!”

 

Bastion asks, perplexed, “But how did he know?!”

 

Ryoko, Kuwabara, and Yusuke yell out in unison, “Got me!”

 

Supreme Queen asks, perplexed, “What is that?”

 

Jaden discards one card from his hand to the graveyard and he says, with a sly grin, “The card that will end you once and for all. By discarding one card from my hand, I can fuse monsters from both of our fields! So, I fuse my Neos with your Rainbow Dark Dragon!”

 

Supreme Queen calls out, flabbergasted, “What?!” Just then a huge vortex comes onto the field and Rainbow Dark Dragon, whose attack is stopped, and Neos are sent right into the vortex. Supreme Queen yells out, stunned, “My Dragon!” On the meanwhile, a new fusion monster cards appears on Jaden's duel disk.

 

Jaden then yells out, strongly, “And now, I summon the one and only . . . Rainbow Neos!” Just then the vortex explodes in rainbow light and when the light dies down, Rainbow Neos (4500/3000), a huge humanoid monster around the size of Obelisk the Tormentor, covered in silver and gold knight's armor from head to toe, amber jewel in the center of its chest, sapphire jewels in the center of its armored kneecaps, cobalt jewels on the top center portion of its armored gantlets, blue eyes under its slanted armored helmet, two violet wings on its helmet, and two giant crystal blue feather wings with four yellow dragon-like wings attached below the feathered wings attached to this monster's back, comes to the field in attack mode.

 

Our heroes and heroines, minus Hiei and Yeshua, are awe-struck by the new monster and Valkyrie Sailor Heaven Star says, amazed, “That's amazing! I never seen such a monster!”

 

Yugi says, amazed, “It is just as powerful as the Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon!”

 

Supreme Queen tells Jaden, with a dark cold annoyed tone, “How dare you take my creature away from me?! You shall pay for such insolence!” Supreme Queen puts one card in the spell/trap slots and she says, with a dark cold plain tone, “I shall end my turn!”

 

Jaden draws one card from his deck and calls out, strongly, “It's over, Bastet!”

 

Supreme Queen thinks in her mind, with an evil sly grin, “That's what you think, Jaden! When you attack, I shall play my face-down trap card: Magic Cylinder! You will take the damage for your own monster's attack and your new creature shall be your own undoing! That's what you get for messing with the power of the Supreme Queen!”

 

Jaden puts one card in the spell/trap slots and calls out, “I throw down a face-down and activate Rainbow Neos' special ability! Beyond The Rainbow Hole!” Rainbow Neos gives off a powerful rainbow glow, Jaden's face-down card vanishes from the field, and Jaden says, with a strong tone, “By sacrificing one spell or trap card from my side of the field, all spell and trap cards on your side are automatically returned to your deck!”

 

Supreme Queen shouts out, shocked, “No! It can't be!” Just then her face-down card and Advanced Dark Field Spell vanish as they turn into beams of light that return to the Supreme Queen's deck and the field returns to normal. Supreme Queen says, stunned, “How can this be?! How can I be defeated by you?!”

 

Jaden says, strongly, “That's because I'm dueling for more than myself! I'm dueling for my friends, my family, their hopes, their dreams, and I'm dueling for their hope of getting back our friend and my sister! Go, Rainbow Neos, attack her life-points directly and end this duel!” The jewels all over Rainbow Neos' form start to glow with rainbow colored light and Jaden cries out, strongly, “End this duel with Rainbow Flare Stream!” Soon after, Rainbow Neos fires rainbow colored energy beams from all of its jewels on its body that slam into Supreme Queen causing her to scream out in horror and pain as she loses 4500 life-point causing her life-point counter to go to zero. Just then Jaden's Silver Crystal appears in his heads and he transforms into his royal form of Prince Judai Serenity with his eyes returning to normal as the duel ends.

 

Final Score:

Jaden/Prince Judai: 100

Supreme Queen: 0

 

Reacting on instinct, Valkyrie Sailor Neo Moon leaps to Prince Judai, transforms into more mature version as Princess Rini and her royal dress looking exactly like Princess Serenity's royal dress is now, the two of them take Prince Judai's Silver Crystal into their hands, and they aim right at the Supreme Queen.

 

Prince Judai and Princess Rini yell out in unison, “Moon Crystal Healing Meditation!” Just then the two of them fire a beam of silver purifying energy into the Supreme Queen causing her to glow silver and forcing everyone to cover their eyes. When the silver light dies down, everyone looks to see none other than Serena with her Academy Duel Disk with her dueling deck inside attached to her left wrist replacing the Supreme Queen.

 

Lita yells out, amazed, “It's Serena!”

 

Mina says, excitedly, “They did it!” But just then as Rainbow Neos fades away as the duel disk de-activate, Serena collapses to the ground on her back and into unconsciousness.

 

Tuxedo Mask calls out, stunned and worriedly, “Serena!” Immediately, our heroes and heroines go over to her while Prince Judai returns to Jaden and Princess Rini becomes Valkyrie Sailor Neo Moon once more. While they go over there, Jaden notices a card about to fall to the ground and Jaden immediately grabs the card to see it is the Rainbow Neos (4500/3000) Fusion Monster card causing Jaden to smile as he adds the card to his fusion deck before going over with the rest of our heroes and heroines to see if Serena is all right.

 

Tuxedo Mask puts Serena into his arms and Tsunade says, with a serious tone, “Let me look over her.” Tuxedo Mask does so while keeping Serena in his arms, Tsunade uses her medical jutsu to `scan' her, and Tsunade says, with a smile, “She will be just fine. Serena is just exhausted, that's all.”

 

Valkyrie Sailor Emerald Bright Star says, with a smile, “That's a relief!”

 

Shining Warrior says, with a breath of relief, “I agree, Nyoko. I'm so glad that Serena-onee-chan will be okay.”

 

Sailor Andromeda says, with a smile, “I'm glad that Serena-kun will be okay.”

 

Olympian Solar Star says, with a smile and a nod, “You know it, Hina-chan!”

 

Kurama says, seriously, “Don't be so sure. She will be fine physically, but what about emotionally?”

 

Bastion says, with a logical tone, “I hate to say it, but Kurama is right. If Serena remembers or finds out what she did as the Supreme Queen, she will be emotionally distraught.”

 

Rei says, solemnly, “You have a good point.”

 

Yeshua says, with a plain logical tone, “Plus, you must remember that you might have purified and stopped the Supreme Queen, but she isn't gone.”

 

Jaden says, with a nod, “That's right. Even through I defeated Haou, he is a part of me. He is half of who I truly am. And it is the same for sis and the Supreme Queen.”

 

Alexis asks Jaden, curiously, “How were you able to control your `dark side' without losing yourself to him?”

 

Jaden says, with his usual smile, “It was easy, Lex. Knowing the others and you were supporting me, I knew I had the strength to do anything.”

 

Alexis gives a blush in her cheeks and she replies, a bit nervously, “Oh, it was nothing.” Atticus sees the blush in his sister's cheeks and he gains a cheeky smile similar to Mina's smile when she plans to `hook' people up come onto his lips.

 

Zoe says, with a serious tone, “We had better get her to Miss Fontaine and the infirmary that she can rest up.”

 

Tommy says, with a nod, “Good idea, Zoe.”

 

JP says, with a serious tone, “Yeah, we're going to need her with we are going to get the rest of our friends back from their `inner darkness'.”

 

Koji says, with a serious tone, “If she can fight. If she remembers what happened, she won't be much use to us. With her heart, she will fall into a deep depression.”

 

Yeshua says, with a plain tone, “Which is why her friends and beloved need to remain strong if they will help her through this.”

 

Tuxedo Mask says, with a serious tone, “Yes, I know.” As Tuxedo Mask looks over Serena with a concerned look, he thinks, in a loving tone, “At least, you are back with us and in my arms, again! I'm so glad that you are safe! I'll do everything in my power to help you through this! I promise!”

 

Shining Warrior looks towards the `White Dorm' and he thinks in his mind, angrily, “Damn you, Light of Destruction! Even if you are not battling us or sending your white dorks against us, you are still causing us pain! And my daughter still remains under your control! You will pay for all of your crimes! No matter what it takes I will get my future daughter back and make sure that you will never hurt anyone else ever again!” A slight dark hint appears in his eyes and Valkyrie Sailor Heaven Star along with Yeshua notices this.

 

Yeshua thinks in his mind, with a plain logical tone, “Jordan Rhodes' heart is getting filled with more anger and rage towards the Light of Destruction! This is not good because it might cause his inner dark power to release in a negative fashion. Jordan Rhodes thinks of her majesty like a sister and that's the case since he and Princess Serenity were brother and sister at one time during the life that Princess Serenity lived when she gained the powers of the `Supreme Queen' as Bastet, a Hittite Princess named after an Egyptian Goddess. Jordan Rhodes was her brother, a Hittite Prince, and he gained the dark powers of the Supreme Prince at the same time that Princess Serenity gained the powers of the Supreme Queen. I fear that he might suffer the same fate as the Moon Princess, Universe Prince, Star Princess, and Taigoku's beloved if something or someone doesn't calm the rage burning in his heart, but I do not know how.” On the meanwhile, from the stairway of the roof, we find none other than Viper watching what was happening with an annoyed tone on his face.

 

Viper thinks in his mind, “I never expected this! It is no wonder that Jaden has so much energy! He has some kind of great power coursing through him and it involves those mysterious Sailor Scouts that I heard about! This could be trouble for my plans! It is time to rethink my strategy!” However, Viper looks directly at Alexis and he thinks, with an evil sly grin, “However, I might know of a way to get that energy from him! It seems like that girl, Alexis Rhodes, top female student of Obelisk Blue, is the key. She has a `thing' for Jaden and most likely, Jaden has a `thing' for her. And it will be those feelings that will lead Jaden to his doom!” Soon after, Viper secretly and silently slips away, but at the last moment, Axel manages to notice him through he doesn't get a good look at him.

 

Axel thinks in his mind, seriously, “Was that Viper? If it was, then he is preparing to make his next move on Jaden and it might not be good!”

 

Jim whispers to Axel, “Hey, mate, what's up?”

 

Axel whispers to Jim, with a serious tone, “Don't tell the others, yet, but I think I shall Viper.”

 

Jim asks, in a whisper, “Are you sure?”

 

Axel whispers back, with a serious tone, “Yeah. I didn't get a good look, but I know he did. It could be possible that these girls' are exposed to him now. Viper might be planning his move against Jaden.”

 

Jim whispers, seriously, “Crikey! That's not good. If Viper finds out about these girls and the others, we could be in major trouble.”

 

Axel whispers, with a serious tone, “Especially for Jaden. Since he is Viper's main target, he will do anything to get him. When we get Jun and Molly alone, we had better inform them along with Jesse.”

 

Jim says, with a nod, “Right.” However, Hiei, Sailor Pearl Star, and Kurama manages to overhear them.

 

Sailor Pearl Star thinks, with a serious tone, “If we are exposed, the whole world might be in danger. I should tell the others, but now isn't the time, we need to wait until Serena recovers. I just hope that it won't be too late.” On the meanwhile, our heroes and heroines prepare to head downstairs into the main building, Darien takes Serena into his arms and as they walked, their thoughts turn to the our heroes and heroines that had fallen to their inner darkness.

 

Tai thinks in his mind, determinedly, “Don't worry, Kari! We're coming for you and Davis! We will save you!”

 

Shippo thinks in his mind, strongly, “Don't worry, Kagome! We freed you from that freak and we will make sure that `evil side' or whatever of yours doesn't do the same! We're coming!”

 

(Joining the Hell Priestess; Shortly thereafter)

 

Shortly after the duel, we find the Hell Priestess and Eri, Yuka, and Ayumi, in their new `dark miko uniforms', kneeling in front of the dark pyre with their eyes closed when the Hell Priestess' eyes shoot open and she stands up quickly. The Hell Priestess' new `dark servants' notice this and stand up on their feet too.

 

Eri asks, in a dark cold curious tone, “What is it, Mistress?”

 

Hell Priestess says, with a dark cold plain tone, “Bastet, the Supreme Queen . . . She was defeated by Jaden Yuki.”

 

The three `dark mikos' gasp in shock and Ayumi asks, perplexed, “Are you sure, Mistress?”

 

Hell Priestess says, with a dark cold plain tone, “Yes, I can feel it.”

 

Yuka states, with a dark cold nasty tone, “That pathetic wench got herself beat by a weakling?”

 

Hell Priestess says, with a dark cold serious tone, “Don't underestimate Jaden Yuki! He is very powerful! He is more powerful than ever by taking control of Haou's powers!”

 

Eri says, with a dark cold sly tone, “So, what?! When you gain the powers of the Sacred Beasts, he won't have prayer.”

 

Hell Priestess says, with an evil sly smile, “Yes, you are right. When I gain the powers of the Sacred Beasts, all will bow before me. However, we will need to use them to get rid of the Egyptian Gods, Legendary Dragons, and Wicked God cards that they weld. They are a good significant threat.”

 

Eri, Yuka, and Ayumi say in unison, “Yes, mistress!”

 

Hell Priestess thinks in her mind, with an evil sly grin, “You think that you fools can defeat me as easily as you did, Bastet? Idiots! I am far more superior to that pathetic witch! Well, you did me a favor and got rid of her for me! Now, there is only one other force other than all of you, fools, that can stop my plans: The Chaos Pharaoh and his `queen', the Dark Empress.”

 

(Returning the Chaos Pharaoh; On the meanwhile)

 

Speaking of whom, we find the Chaos Pharaoh with the Dark Empress in his arms looking over the duel with the crystal ball and both of them had dark cold annoyed expression on their faces.

 

Chaos Pharaoh says, with a dark cold plain tone, “Foolish woman. She let Haou's host beat her.”

 

Dark Empress says, with a dark cold annoyed tone, “Yes. That Meatball Head made us look bad, my darling.”

 

Chaos Pharaoh says, with an evil sly grin, “Don't worry, my dear. As long as we have these cards in our possession, they shall be no problem.” The Chaos Pharaoh then displays the Egyptian God Cards, Obelisk the Tormentor (4000/4000), Slifer the Sky Dragon (X000/X000), and the Winged Dragon of Ra (????/????) God Monster cards, in his right hand.

 

Dark Empress says, with an evil sly smile, “Yes. Only that little runt, Yugi Moto, and Atem could beat them.”

 

Chaos Pharaoh says, with an evil sinister smile, “Don't underestimate them or their power, my lovely seductress. They are a significant threat along with that with Bastet. However, they did us a favor and now, only Izanami is in the way.”

 

Dark Empress says, with an evil seductive tone, “Yes. And once they are gone, the whole universe shall bow down to us. The new king and queen of the universe.” Chaos Pharaoh and Dark Empress then engage in a passionate kiss, mating their tongues together and tasting each other's mouths, while they hold each other in a passionate embrace as they continue to think of their evil plans for our heroes and heroines and the rest of their enemies.

 

(Around this same time; In Viper's headquarters)

 

Within Viper's headquarters, we find the container for the mysterious large eye filled with orange bubbles of energy and then the large eye appears.

 

The large eye says, in a duel voice, one male and one female, “Yes, I can feel him. Jaden is starting awaken. So, much the better.” The large eye then gives out an evil laugh that would make any ordinary person shiver in fear.

 

(Out in the ocean; on the meanwhile)

 

Out in the seas, we find a large ship heading in the direction of Duel Academy and on that ship, there were a group of ninja aboard and there is one in particular, a young teenage girl. She looks to be around Naruto's age, 5 feet and 4 inches in high, with long silver hair in a thick single braid that falls to her knees, sensual navy blue eyes, pale colored skin, and she is wearing loose black soft yoga pants that flare at the ends, a tight white baby tee that bares a bit of her mid-drift, Leaf Hitai-ate like a headband around her forehead, and she wears a silver chain with a think heart locket around her neck.

 

Just then an ANBU without her mask comes up to her and this female ANBU has violet hair that flows down until it reaches around half-way behind her back, brown eyes, red ruby lips, and a mark on her exposed upper right shoulder with her looking to be in her early to mid-20s.

 

The ANBU tells the girl, with a serious tone, “We will be at Duel Academy within the next day or so, Meiou.”

 

The girl, Meiou, tells the ANBU, with a smile, “Thank you, Yugao.”

 

The ANBU nods her head and replies, with a smile, “You're welcome, Meiou.” Soon after, the ANBU, Yugao, puts her mask back on and uses her ninja super-speed to vanish.

 

Meiou thinks in her mind, seriously, “Don't worry, Hokage-sama! Reinforcements are on the way! You might not have approved of this, but I can't let you and the others fight whatever enemy is there!”

 

(Out in outer space; at the same time)

 

During this time, in outer space, some distance from the Earth's atmosphere, we find what looks like a small comet heading towards Earth and when it gets into Earth's atmosphere, it starts to burn up, but then a figure comes out of the `comet' and wraps itself around the comet.

 

Just then an eerie female voice calls out, “I'm coming for you, Serena. We were best friends and then you sent me away. I will . . . show you the power of pain and you will be mine, again!” Just then sinister female laugh calls out as the burning up figure and the `comet' that it is protecting as he heads into Earth's atmosphere and its target is none other than Duel Academy. It looks like more evil is on the way and it is somehow involved with our Moon Princess . . .

 

Next time in Chapter 19: Times of Chaos: In the aftermath of `freeing' Serena of the `Supreme Queen', our Moon Princess awakens and learns the horrible truth about what happened while her `true dark side' was in control. Totally distraught and fearful of the return of the Supreme Queen, Serena isn't sure about returning to the fight, even with the love of her life trying to heal the wounds in her heart. Zane tries a more forceful approach by forcing Serena to duel to get over what happened, but to no avail. As badly distraught Moon Princess tries to `put herself together', she witness a training session for Rei, Darien, the other Moon Kingdom Sailor Senshi, and Jordan as they train in the ninja way to get stronger. During this training session, certain members of our heroes and heroines notice something `darker' awakening within Jordan. On the meanwhile, Erin hasn't woken up from the coma that she was put in protecting Erin by the attack of the Supreme Queen's that went astray and Serena can't help to feel guilty. During this time, the Light of Destruction possessed Sartorius plans a new offensive against our heroes and heroines with the only Sailor Scout still under his control, Celeste/Sailor Light Star, and try renewed efforts to bring them into the SOL. Next, Serena is visited by her two mothers, Selene and Queen Serenity, and they console her on what happened as the `Supreme Queen'. However, events don't let her get anytime to bring her thoughts together as new allies join in the fight and enemies return to start more chaos. Orochimaru comes back to get some payback against our Moon Princess and during the fight, Valkyrie Sailor Heaven Star is badly bitten by our overgrown snake that throws our Shining Warrior into a rage and unleashed the hidden dark powers within him. But before he could go on a rampage and his inner darkness takes him over, our Moon Princess steps up to fight Orochimaru in a one-on-one match. The battle is incredibly fierce and at one point, Orochimaru finds some way to take the advantage away from Valkyrie Sailor Moon, but things take a wrong turn when the power of the demon sealed inside of her is unleashed. On the meanwhile, Alexis is struggling within herself as her own `dark side' reveals herself along with another part of her soul: The Sun Princess, the beloved of Jaden during his days in the Silver Millennium. However, what happened during her time under the control of the Light of Destruction has got Alexis torn inside and getting kidnapped by Viper in order to lure Jaden into a duel to get his duel energy doesn't help! During the duel between Jaden and Viper, Alexis' own `true inner darkness' start to `leak out' along with her Silver Millennium powers, but it might prove an `explosive' combination! However, when the duel between Jaden and Viper ends, something is unleashed from his lab and IT wants Jaden for some reason or another. Finally, there is a new problem when the Hell Priestess manages to get the keys to unlock the real Sacred Beast cards from Chancellor Sheppard. And when our heroes and heroines go to stop them, Chaos Pharaoh and Dark Empress are in their way! Naruto and Yusuke step up to the plate to bring Davis and Kari back, but Kari's Darkness and Chaos Deck along with Davis' Evil Heroes and God Cards deck might prove more than they can handle! What will happen in the between Serena and Orochimaru? What is happening to Jordan and Alexis? Will Erin wake up from her coma? Will the Hell Priestess get the Sacred Beast Cards? And can Naruto and Yusuke bring Kari and Davis back from their darkness? Hopefully, we will find out the answers on the next Twilight Wars!

 

Well, I'm sorry that this took awhile, but here it is! I hope that you like it! It took a lot of work and I had a lot of important `Real World' work to do. Well, I hope that you find this chapter enjoyable and interesting! And don't worry, the Digimon Frontier gang, who I'm sorry that I ignored for awhile, will be getting back into the action soon, promise! However, during the mouth of April and May, I will be in the `final phase' of my final term at Penn State Wilkes Barre and I won't be able to update too often because of a lot of important work to do! Plus, after I graduate, I will need to start finding a job. So, I won't be able to update too often and update might take somewhat longer to get out! Sorry about this! I hope that you can understand! Well, please read and review! Tell me what you think and I will catch you later, Crossover, Digimon, Dueling, Ninja, and Moon fans! Bye for now! Later and best wishes!
