Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Monster GX Fan Fiction / Crossover Fan Fiction / Sailor Moon Fan Fiction ❯ Yu-Gi-Oh GX Stars: Darkness Moon ❯ Blasts from the Past ( Chapter 18 )

Well, I'm back and I'm sorry that it took longer than unusual to get this chapter out. However, I've had my newest school semester start on August 27 and before that day, I wanted to finish the third chapter of my `Yu-Gi-Oh GX Digi-Stars: Twilight Wars' story. Well, the good news is that I did finish my chapter on the twenty-second of August, so, I could focus on this story. This story has proven very popular and I would like to thank all of you that reviewed so far. However, it isn't going to be easy since school is starting school and I need to work hard and get good grades. I've only got two more semesters, exactly one more year, before I graduate, but I will do what I can to get those chapters out there. And don't worry, for those of you like that `character fluff', there will be plenty more and for the rest of you, there is going to be plenty of action, adventure, battles, drama, and more dueling to come! However, I ramble on, so, it is . . . TIME TO GET OUR GAMES ON! Well, as Jaden Yuki would say it. Now, time to rock and roll!

Chapter 18: Blasts from the Past

 

(Shortly after the duels between Serena and Alexis against Blair and Molly; on the beach at Duel Academy)

 

Back on the beach shortly after we left our heroes and heroines, they, joined by the new Sailor Quartet, formally the Amazon Quartet of the Dead Moon Circus, and Nephrite, a former general of the Negaverse, are standing over the unconscious forms of Molly Baker, Serena's best friend before she met the other scouts and Darien, and Blair Flannigan, a girl that recently turned into her teens and had a major crush on Jaden Yuki. Both Molly and Blair had been brainwashed by the Light of Destruction possessed Sartorius and the Society of Light and sent against our heroes and heroines, namely our Moon Twins, Serena and Jaden, but Serena defeated Molly and Alexis defeated Blair in two nasty Shadow Duels. However, they have a new problem when sensing Queen Beryl's three general, who along with the evil queen of the Negaverse, have been revived and now, are causing new havoc that plenty of our heroes and heroines could sense.

 

Kuwabara yells out, annoyed, “Just what we needed!”

 

Yusuke tells Kuwabara, with an annoyed tone, “Damn straight, Kuwabara! We need this like a hole in the head!”

 

Inuyasha says, annoyed, “Now, what do we do?!”

 

Hikari says, seriously, “Simple, we find those damn generals and kick their butts for stealing other people's energy.”

 

Serena asks Hikari, with a serious tone, “It won't be easy.”

 

Yusuke says, with a confident tone, “Oh, please! Hikari and I faced many jerks with world-destroying class powers and we kicked their asses two weeks into next week!”

 

Kurama says, with a plain tone, “Through they did knock you around for awhile before then.”

 

Yusuke says, annoyed, “Thanks a lot, Kurama! You're a big help!”

 

Kagome says, seriously, “We don't have time for this now!”

 

Trista says, with a serious tone, “We need to get Molly Baker and Blair Flannigan to the Slifer Red dorm for safety while the rest of us take care of the rest.”

 

Nephrite says, with a plain tone, “I should take them back to the Slifer Red dorm. It is the least I can do for all of the trouble that I caused you.”

 

Rei tells Nephrite, with a serious tone, “Hey, buddy, you might be reformed, but we still don't trust you!”

 

Jaden says, with a plain tone, “I don't know why, girls, but I think that we can trust this guy. It's a gut feeling that I can't ignore and plus, the Millennium Scales told us that he was telling the truth what's going on.”

 

Rei says, seriously, “Yeah, but that doesn't mean that he isn't deceiving us.”

 

Atem tells Rei, “I can't be so sure, Rei. However, if you don't still trust him, maybe you should some people along with him to keep an eye on him to make sure.”

 

Serena asks Rini, “Rini, can you and your guardians take care of this?”

 

Rini asks, perplexed, “What?! Why?”

 

Serena tells Rini, with a serious tone, “I am concerned about you, but it's also I need someone I can trust and you are my daughter after all.” Serena thinks in her mind, “Through you annoy me to heck a lot!”

 

Rini tells Serena, telepathically, “I heard that, Serena! I'm a telepathic now, too!”

 

Serena thinks in her mind, drolly, “Oh, great! Now, I can't keep anything from her!”

 

Rini tells Serena, telepathically, “Well, right now, but in the future, you have way better telepathic and physic powers with powerful mental blocks!” Rini then tells Serena, with a smile, “Don't worry, Serena! My team and I will make sure that Nephrite is on the up and up!”

 

The Sailor Quartet yells out in unison, “Right!”

 

Serena tells Rini and the Sailor Quartet, with a smile, “Thank you.”

 

Galaxia tells Serena, with a smile, “I shall stay here to make sure nothing happens to your friend.”

 

Princess Kaykuu tells Serena, “As the Starlights and I as well.” The Three Lights nod their heads in unison and in agreement with their princess.

 

Serena tells them, with a warm smile, “Thank you.”

 

Inuyasha yells out, seriously, “Okay, since that's done, let's get going already!”

 

Lita tells Inuyasha, “Hold your horses already!”

 

Kagome tells Lita, “Inuyasha has a point! The more time that we waste, the more our enemies have to cause trouble and pain!”

 

Serena says, with a serious tone, “Kagome's right, everyone! Move out!” Immediately, Serena, Kagome, and Inuyasha move out with Yusuke, Keiko, Hikari, and the other Spirit Detective team following.

 

Yusuke yells out, seriously, “Not without us, you aren't!”

 

Jaden and his friends quickly `join in' and Syrus calls out, “Hey, wait up!”

 

Mina says, with a smile, “When in Rome . . .” Soon enough, the rest of our heroes and heroines, expect for Rini, the Sailor Quartet, and Nephrite, were running back to the inner portions of the island to stop whatever malicious plans that Queen Beryl's three generals, Jadeite, Zoisite, and Malachite, had up their evil sleeves.

 

(Within Queen Beryl's base; on the meanwhile)

 

Inside of Queen Beryl's base, her crystal ball glowed with power as she senses and sees more and more Duel Energy pour into her crystal ball causing her to give off a wide evil sly smile.

 

Queen Beryl says, with an evil smile, “Yes! Yes! Yes! This is excellent! My generals are making these pathetic students and other stupid dueling humans pour more and more energy as they continue to duel and they are taking the rest after the duel is over! I never thought that this silly little card game was worth much, but then again, it is based on the ancient Shadow Games! Soon, the whole universe will bowing to me and the Negaverse and that rotten little Moon Princess, his brother, and all that they love will be gone for good!” Queen Beryl thinks in her mind, “And when I get enough negative energy, I will make sure to crush Zorc and gain the powers of the seven Millennium Items for myself and the Negaverse! That fool might have been feared over five millennia ago in the past, but he is nothing against us today! He will soon learn the true powers of darkness!” However, what Queen Beryl doesn't know is that Diabound, in it's final form, is watching secretly from the shadows and phases into the wall soon after.

 

(Inside of the catacombs of Yami Bakura's base; around this same time)

 

Within the cave that contained the Millennium Stone with the Millennium Eye and Millennium Necklace inside, we find Diabound, in its hideous final form come out of the wall and reveal itself to its master, who has an activate Diadiankh attached to his left wrist, and surrounded by the Sailor Animamates, Iron Mouse, Aluminum Siren, Lead Crow, and Tin Nyanko, all of whom had a bracelets similar to Galaxia's bracelets expect they are black with the golden Millennium Symbol in the center with a red jewel in the center of the eye of the Millennium Symbol, along with a new addition, Bonz, the zombie duelist that the former evil spirit of the Millennium Ring sent into the Shadow Realm years ago in Battle City.

 

Soon after, Diabound phases through the walls into the room and makes itself visible, Yami Bakura says, with an evil smile, “I knew that witch Beryl couldn't be trusted. She thinks that she can put one up on me, eh? I knew that she would betray me sooner or later.”

 

Bonz asks Yami Bakura, curiously, “How do you know that boss?!”

 

Yami Bakura yells out, seriously, “Simple, you fool! It is something I would do!”

 

Iron Mouse asks, in her child-like tone, “What do you wish for us to do, Master?”

 

Yami Bakura tells Iron Mouse, “Nothing for the moment. Let our enemies scurry around to fight Beryl's pathetic generals and when they have worn themselves out . . .”

 

Tin Nyanko gives a sly evil smile and says, “. . . We will attack while they are weak and crush them.”

 

Yami Bakura says, with an evil smile, “Yes. Exactly, my dear Tin Nyanko. Now, Animamates, we must be patient and wait for the right time to attack.”

 

Bonz asks Yami Bakura, “What do you want me to do boss?”

 

Yami Bakura tells Bonz, with an evil smile, “Patience, Bonz. You must wait until the time is right and you will know. Your underhanded tactics and scheming are useful to me and that's why I have brought you back from the shadows. However, you need to wait. In the slightest chance that our attack doesn't win us the day, we will need a new plan and that's where you will come in.”

 

Bonz tells Yami Bakura, with an evil smile, “Gotcha, Boss.”

 

Yami Bakura thinks in his mind, evilly, “When my true form as Zorc has been revived, you and the Animamates will mean nothing to me and I will send you off to the Shadows and be done with you! Then the Moon Princess and her brother shall fall along with Atem, Yugi, and the others by the wayside! And then the whole universe shall be covered in darkness for all time as it should be!”

 

(Sometime later; Elsewhere on Academy Island)

 

Within another area of Academy Island, we find Jadeite, his left wrist having a black version of the Academy Duel Disk that has a dueling deck attached to his left wrist and his right hand glowing as a blue stream of energy comes from male Slifer Red student, taking the energy from a Slifer Red student that he had just defeated in a duel and when the stream is gone, the male Slifer Red student collapses to the ground on his stomach, groaning out in pain as he is unconsciousness.

 

Jadeite says, with an evil sly smile, “Excellent. I never knew that taking energy from these pathetic teenage humans can be so . . . entertaining. Now, who will be my next victim?”

 

Just then a familiar female voice calls out, “Stop right there, Jadeite!”

 

Jadeite gives a groan and thinks, annoyed, “Typical. I should have known that brat and her friends would be here sooner or later.” Soon after, Jadeite turns to the source of the voice to see Twilight Valkyrie Sailor Moon, Eternal Twilight Sailor Mercury, Eternal Twilight Sailor Venus, Eternal Twilight Sailor Mars, Eternal Twilight Sailor Jupiter, Eternal Twilight Sailor Saturn, Eternal Twilight Sailor Uranus, Eternal Twilight Sailor Neptune, and a brand new Sailor Pluto along with Tuxedo Mask, Yusuke, Eternal Twilight Sailor Universe, Hikari, Kuwabara, Hiei, Kurama, Yukina, Eternal Twilight Sailor Star, Inuyasha, their friends from the Feudal Era, Eternal Twilight Solar Moon, Eternal Twilight Sailor Sun, Eternal Twilight Sailor Aries, Eternal Twilight Sailor Leo, Eternal Twilight Sailor Libra, Eternal Twilight Sailor Aquarius, Eternal Sailor Earth, Tyranno, Syrus, Zane, Atticus, Bastion, Atem, Yugi, Tea, Tristan, Joey and Yeshua coming in behind them. Jadeite thinks in his mind, annoyed, “Oh, great. The Moon Prince, Endymon's damn sister, the Universe Princess, her sister, and the damned entire Solaris Kingdom royal family! Just perfect!”

 

The brand new Sailor Pluto had her hair in its usual hair color and hair style, but she had two sets of three small white feathers in the forward portion of her scalp, one set on the left side and the other set on the right side, her golden tiara is golden and the symbol of Pluto in dark pink is on her forehead, her earrings are golden heart and star jewels with dark pink symbols in the form of the symbol of Pluto below the heart and star jewels, her lips are a sparkling ruby red, her cloth choker is the same expect there is a golden heart jewel with a black jewel in the form of the symbol of Pluto in the center of the choker, her V-style sailor collar and bodysuit are the same, in the bust area of her bodysuit, the heart jewel has lost its bow and there are four white angel wings attached to it, she has shoulder pads similar to Eternal Sailor Moon's shoulder pads, expect they are dark green in color, her gloves are similar to Eternal Sailor Moon's gloves, expect they have dark green bands on them, her mini-skirt is triple layered with dark pink, dark green, and dark blue as the color of the mini-skirt, there is a heart jewel exactly like the one on the bust area of her bodysuit on the top center portion of her mini-skirt, her high-heeled boots are the same as her previous Sailor Scout forms, expect they have two white angel wings on the heels, and she has four white angel wings coming out of her back.

 

Sailor Earth says, with a serious tone, “Jadeite, so, we meet again. Up to your `old tricks', I see.”

 

Jadeite says, with a serious tone, “Princess Alexandria, I should have know that you were here. Wherever your brother and his rotten moon princess is, you are sure to follow.”

 

Sailor Earth says, with a sly grin, “I live to please.”

 

Valkyrie Sailor Moon asks Sailor Pluto, “How does your new Eternal Sailor Scout form feel Sailor Pluto?”

 

Sailor Pluto nods her head and says, “Very good, my princess. Thank you for the increase on my powers.”

 

Valkyrie Sailor Moon says, with a smile, “No problem, Pluto. Personally, I didn't know I could upgrade your powers like that, but I thought that it was worth a try.”

 

Inuyasha says, with a snort, “This jerk doesn't look so tough.”

 

Sailor Star tells Inuyasha, “Don't be so sure, Inuyasha. Remember, he is one of Queen Beryl's generals and not exactly to be taken lightly.”

 

Sango asks Sailor Star, curiously, “Regaining more of your memories as a princess, Kagome?”

 

Sailor Star nods her head and she says, “Yeah. And I do not like the memories of this guy.”

 

Inuyasha says, with a snort, “For some reason, I don't like this guy the instance that I saw him.” Inuyasha thinks in his mind, “Could what Naraku said be true and I was Kagome's `lover' in her past life as this `Star Princess' from this Silver Millennium! No! It can't be! Naraku must be messing with my head! I can't be some kind of `half-demon prince' from an ancient demon kingdom, but why can't I get these thoughts out of my head?!” Just then memories of the end of the Silver Millennium by the Negaverse enter Inuyasha's mind, but Kagome's past life as Princess Kisara and another half-demon that looks and acts a lot like him flows through his mind. However, those memories hit Sailor Star's mind as well and when they end, they look at each other in amazement.

 

Inuyasha and Sailor Star thinks in their minds at the same time, “What was that?!”

 

Valkyrie Sailor Moon tells Jadeite, with a serious tone, “Surrender, Jadeite. We outnumber you and all of us have a lot more power than you! You don't stand a chance against us!”

 

Jadeite growls in anger and he thinks in his mind, seriously, “I hate to admit it, but that Moon brat has got a point! I'm outnumbered and I can't summon too many youma to protect me, but I do have a `trump card'!” Jadeite tells Valkyrie Sailor Moon, “You and your little friends may have me outnumbered, but that's doesn't mean you have the advantage!”

 

Sailor Universe asks, seriously, “What do you mean?!”

 

Jadeite says, with an evil sly grin, “What I mean is . . . this!” Just then Jadeite snaps his fingers, a youma comes out of the ground, and grabs the unconsciousness Slifer Red student, extending its claws right to the student's throat!

 

Hikari yells out, angrily, “Let him go!”

 

Sailor Saturn says, seriously, “He has nothing to do with us!”

 

Jadeite says, with an evil sly smile, “Sorry, sailor brat, but he has everything to do with us! If any of you, including that little demon in black with super-speed and teleporting abilities, try anything, this little brat is getting a new haircut from the neck up.”

 

Sailor Mars yells out, angrily, “You coward!”

 

Hiei says, with a serious tone, “For once, human, we can agree on something. This `general' has no honor. Only a coward uses another as a shield.”

 

Jadeite tells Hiei, “Yeah, right, you little fire demon! Who really cares about honor?!”

 

Hiei says, seriously, “You are a fool, `general'. Those who have no honor will fall by those who do.”

 

Jadeite says, with an evil nasty tone, “Whatever.” Jadeite then says, activating his duel disk, “Now, pathetic whelps, we are going to settle this my way. I thought that since we are on the famous Duel Academy, we should settle this in a duel.”

 

Sailor Jupiter yells out, angrily, “Who says that you play fair?!”

 

Jadeite says, with a serious tone, “You don't have a choice! You either duel me or this student fails . . . for the last time!”

 

Yusuke takes a duel disk from his sub-space pocket and yells out, seriously, “I'll take you on asshole!”

 

Tuxedo Mask tells Yusuke, seriously, “Yusuke, you don't remember who you are dealing with! He is one of Queen Beryl's generals that aided in the destruction of the Moon Kingdom as well as yours millennia ago! Most likely, he or his fellow generals could have stabbed you in the back and killed you and Keiko thousands of years ago!”

 

Yusuke says, with a serious tone, “Well, this time, this ass doesn't have an army of monsters and demon to hide behind and I think it is time for a little payback that's been thousands of years in waiting!”

 

Jadeite says, with an evil sly smile, “Well, the beloved of Princess Sakura and the Sun Prince, I see you haven't changed much over the millennia.”

 

Yusuke says, with a snort, “Why don't you cut out the banter and just duel jerk?!”

 

Jadeite says, with a serious tone and an evil smile, “As you wish.” Yusuke and Jadeite activate their duel disks, they draw five cards from their decks, and their life-point counters display 4000 life-points for each duelist.

 

“Duel!” Yusuke and Jadeite yell out in unison as their duel begin while the others step out to give Yusuke room.

 

Starting Scores:

Yusuke: 4000

Jadeite: 4000

 

Sailor Mars yells out, annoyed, “I can't believe that we are allowing Yusuke to go through with this!”

 

Sailor Star tells Sailor Mars, seriously, “We didn't have a choice, Rei! This guy has a hostage!”

 

Tuxedo Mask says, seriously, “Keep an eye out for anything suspicious. Jadeite can't be trusted even a duel.”

 

Hikari tells Tuxedo Mask, getting her transformation brooch out, “Gotcha. Deep down, I know that you are right about this jerk, Darien.”

 

Yusuke draws one card from his deck and he says, seriously, “Ready asshole?! Time to get your game on!” Yusuke puts one card on the spell/trap slots and says, “I'll play my Graceful Charity! I draw three cards from my deck and discard two from my hand!” Yusuke draws three cards from his deck, discards two cards from his hand, puts one more card in the spell/trap slots, and calls out, “Next, I play my Dragon's Mirror spell card! With this card, I can summon a dragon-type fusion monster from fusion deck as long as the Fusion-Material monsters are on my field or in the graveyard!” Soon after, a Red-Eyes Black Dragon (2400/2000) and Summoned Skull (2500/1200) monster cards come out of Yusuke's graveyard, Yusuke puts the two cards in his pocket and out of play, Yusuke put a fusion monster card from his fusion deck on his duel disk, and yells out, “Now, I remove my Red-Eyes and my Summoned Skull from play in order to summon my Black Skull Dragon!” The two monsters appear on the field, go into a fusion vortex, and out of the vortex, Black Skull Dragon (3200/2500) comes to the field in attack mode. Yusuke puts another card in the spell/trap slots and says, “Next, I play my Dimension Fusion spell card! For the price of two thousand life-points, the monsters that I removed from play are returned to the field!” Yusuke puts the two cards in his pocket on his duel disk and Red-Eyes Black Dragon (2400/2000) and Summoned Skull (2500/1200) come back to the field while Yusuke loses 2000 life-points.

 

Jadeite says, with a smile, “You might have powerful monsters, but you can't touch my life-point since it is my first turn!”

 

Yusuke puts one card in the spell/trap slots and he says, with a sly grin, “Don't count on it, pal! I play my Inferno Fire Blast spell card! When I don't attack with Red-Eyes Black Dragon this turn, you lose life-points equal to his attack power!”

 

Jadeite calls out, stunned, “What?!” Red-Eyes Black Dragon launches a sphere of black and dark red flame energy at Jadeite and he yelps out as he loses 2400 life-points in one shot.

 

Yusuke puts two cards in the spell/trap slots and he says, with a sly grin, “I'll throw these down and end my turn. Guess you aren't much of a general if you can't win a `simple silly little card game' based on what you call Duel Monsters, huh?”

 

Current Score:

Yusuke: 2000

Jadeite: 1600

 

Hikari yells out, excitedly, “Way to play, bro! Send this rotten jerk back to whatever hellhole he came from!”

 

Jadeite draws one card from his deck and says, really annoyed tone in his voice, “Don't count on it, Princess!” Jadeite puts one card in the spell/trap slots and yells out, “First, I'll play my Lightning Vortex spell card! I discard one card from my hand and your dragons are gone!” Jadeite discards one card from his hand and a huge lightning storm destroying all of Yusuke's monsters.

 

Sailor Universe says, worriedly, “Oh no!”

 

Jadeite puts one card on his duel disk and he calls out, “He should be worried since I play my Gearfried the Iron Knight in attack mode!” Soon after, Gearfried the Iron Knight (1800/1600) comes to the field in attack mode. Jadeite then yells out, putting another card in the spell/trap slots, “Next, I play the spell card known as Release Restraint! This card allows me to sacrifice my Iron Knight to unleash his true power!” A card comes out of Jadeite's deck, Jadeite puts it on his duel disk, and he yells out, “Now, I summon my Gearfried the Swordsmaster in attack mode!” Soon after, Gearfried the Iron Knight sheds his armor and Gearfried the Swordsmaster (2600/2200) comes to the field in attack mode. Jadeite then yells out, seriously, “Attack him directly!” Gearfried quickly moves in for a direct attack on Yusuke.

 

Yusuke pushes a button on his duel disk and calls out, “I play my trap! Negate Attack!” Yusuke's face-down card is revealed to be the trap card known as Negate Attack and a force-field protects Yusuke from Gearfried's attack. Yusuke says, with a sly smile, “Sorry, pal, but I'm not going away anytime soon! And with this card, your battling days are over for now!”

 

Jadeite puts one card in the spell/trap slots and he says, with a serious tone, “I'll place this card face-down and call it a turn!”

 

Yusuke draws one card from his deck, puts one card in the spell/trap slots, and says, with a smile, “I'll play Pot of Greed! Now, I draw two more cards from my deck!” Yusuke draws two more cards from his deck, looks at his card, pushes a button on his duel disk, and calls out, “Next, I play my face-down card! Soul Resurrection!” Yusuke's face-down card is revealed to be Soul Resurrection trap card and Yusuke says, with a sly grin, “With this card, I can call one Normal monster back to the field! So, say hello to my Red-Eyes Black Dragon!” Soon after, Red-Eyes Black Dragon (2400/2000) back to the field in defense mode. Yusuke then puts one card on his duel disk and yells out, “Finally, I sacrifice my Red-Eyes Black Dragon to summon my Red-Eyes Darkness Dragon!” Red-Eyes Black Dragon vanishes in dark red flames and then the flames reform into the Red-Eyes Darkness Dragon (2400/2000) in attack mode. Yusuke then says, with a sly grin, “Thanks to this guy, he gets three hundred attack points for every dragon in my grave and that's two!” Red-Eyes Darkness Dragon's stats rise from 2400/2000 to 3000/2000!

 

Jadeite thinks in his mind, “Just try, Prince Sasuke. My face-down trap card, Magic Cylinder, will take care of you in no time!”

 

Yusuke puts one card in the spell/trap slots and yells out, “Then I play my Stamping Destruction spell card! Since I have a dragon on the field, I can destroy one spell or trap card and the owner of that card gets five hundred points of damage! And guess which card that I pick genius?!”

 

Jadeite yells out, shocked, “Oh no!” Just then a huge dragon foot smashes into Jadeite's face-down, destroying it, and costing him five hundred life-points.

 

Yusuke calls out, seriously, “Now, Red-Eyes, give this jerk a lesson that he will never forget! Inferno Darkfire!” Red-Eyes Darkness Dragon unleashes a breath of dark red and black flames at Gearfried the Swordsmaster, destroying that monster in a huge explosion, and costing Jadeite 400 life-points. Yusuke puts one card in the spell/trap slots and he says, with a sly smile, “I think that I made you suffer enough for now, pal. I'll end my turn!”

 

Current Score:

Yusuke: 2000

Jadeite: 700

 

Sailor Universe calls out, excitedly, “Way to go, Yusuke!”

 

Hikari says, with a sly grin, “Nice job, bro! That Negaverse jerk might be good at combat, but when it comes to duel, he is a just a rookie. He doesn't stance a chance against you!”

 

Valkyrie Sailor Moon says, with a serious tone, “Don't underestimate him.”

 

Sailor Universe asks Valkyrie Sailor Moon, “What do you mean Serena? Jadeite is getting beaten by Yusuke.”

 

Tuxedo Mask tells Sailor Universe, with a serious tone, “He isn't a general of the Negaverse for nothing. A general is someone who plans for battle and war with strategy and Duel Monsters is a strategy game. Jadeite wouldn't come out like this unless he studied the game. Knowing Jadeite, he has a few tricks still up his sleeve.”

 

Jadeite draws one card from his deck, puts the card in the spell/trap slots, and says, “Now, I play my spell: Card of Sanctity! This card forces us to draw until we have six cards in our hands!” Jadeite and Yusuke draw from their decks until they have six cards in their hands each, Jadeite puts one card in the spell/trap slots, and says, with a sly smile, “Next, I play my Shallow Grave! This card allows both of us to summon one monster from the graveyard to the field in defense mode! And I choose my Chthonian Soldier!” Just then Chthonian Soldier (1200/1400) comes to the field in defense mode.

 

Yusuke says, with a serious tone, “And I choose my Summoned Skull!” Soon after, Summoned Skull (2500/1200) returns to the field in defense mode.

 

Jadeite puts one card in the spell/trap slots and he says, “Next, I play my Infernal Reckless Summon spell card! Now, whenever I special summon a monster, I can use this card to summon all copies of the same monster that I summoned! So, I play two more Soldiers from my deck!” Jadeite goes through his deck, takes out two cards from his deck, he puts his deck back in his duel disk, puts the cards on his duel disk, and two more Chthonian Soldier (1200/1400 X 2) comes to the field in defense mode.

 

Sailor Jupiter says, with a perplexed tone, “What are those cards going to do?! They are nowhere close to either of Yusuke's monsters.”

 

Sailor Mercury says, concerned, “They can't do anything alone.”

 

Jadeite puts one card on his duel disk and he yells out, “Now, I sacrifice all three monsters to summon Gilford the Lightning in attack mode!”

 

Yusuke yells out, shocked, “What?!”

 

Joey says, concerned, “Oh, boy. Yusuke in for it now!” All three Chthonian Soldiers vanish from the field and Gilford the Lightning (2800/1400) comes to the field in attack mode. Joey says, seriously, “When three monsters are used to summon Gilford, he automatically destroys all monsters on Yusuke's side of the field!”

 

Kuwabara calls out, shocked, “That's not good!” Just then Gilford whips out his sword and swings it causing a lightning storm that destroys Yusuke's Darkness Dragon and Summoned Skull!

 

Sailor Universe calls out, stunned, “Yusuke!”

 

Jadeite yells out, seriously, “End this duel right now!” Gilford slams his sword right into the ground sending a surge of electrical force right at Yusuke.

 

Yusuke pushes a button on his duel disk and calls out, “Reveal face-down card! Enchanted Javelin!” Yusuke's face-down card is revealed to be the Enchanted Javelin trap card and Yusuke says, with serious tone, “Nice try, genius, but this card will protect me! Whenever one of your monsters attacks me, this card gives me life-points equal to attack points of your monster!” Yusuke's life-points then increase by 2800 and Gilford's attack slams into Yusuke causing him to groan out as he loses 2800 life-points.

 

Jadeite says, with a snarl, “You might have saved yourself for now, but your luck can't hold out forever!” Jadeite puts one card in the spell/trap slots and he says, “I play Mirage of Nightmare! When it is your Standby Phase, I get to draw until I have four cards in my hand, but during my next Standby, I have to discard the same amount of cards that I drew with this effect!” Jadeite puts the last two cards in his hand in the spell/trap slots and he says, angrily, “I'll end with these!”

 

Current Score:

Yusuke: 2000

Jadeite: 700

 

Yusuke draws one card from his deck and he says, seriously, “My turn!”

 

Jadeite then draws four cards from his deck and he says, with a sly grin, “And my draw, thanks to Mirage of Nightmare!” Jadeite then pushes a button on his duel disk and calls out, with a serious tone, “Next, I play Emergency Provisions!” Jadeite's face-down card is revealed to be the Emergency Provisions Quick-Spell card and Jadeite says, with a sly smile, “With this card, I ditch one spell or trap card on my side of the field and I regain one thousand life-points! And I choose my Mirage of Nightmare!” Soon after, Mirage of Nightmare Continuous spell card vanish from the field and Jadeite gains 1000 life-points.

 

Yusuke puts one card in the spell/trap slots and he says, “I play my Feather of a Phoenix spell card! I discard one card from my hand and I put one card in my graveyard back on the top of my deck!” Yusuke discards Armed Dragon LV7 (2800/1000) monster card to the graveyard, his Pot of Greed spell card comes out of the graveyard, he puts the card on the top of his deck, Yusuke puts one card in the spell/trap slots, and he says, “Next, I play my Level Modulation spell card! You get two cards from your deck and I get one level monster from my graveyard, no questions asked. And I choose my Armed Dragon Level Seven!” Soon after, Armed Dragon LV7 (2800/1000) comes to the field in attack mode and Jadeite draws two more cards from his deck. Yusuke puts one card on his duel disk and yells out, “Now, I sacrifice my Armed Dragon Level Seven to summon Armed Dragon Level Ten!” Armed Dragon LV7 explodes and transforms into Armed Dragon LV10 (3000/2000) comes to the field in attack mode. Yusuke discards one card from his hand and says, “Now, I discard this card from my hand in order to destroy all monsters on your side of the field!” Armed Dragon LV10 launches a wave of sonic energy that destroys Jadeite's Gilford. Yusuke then calls out, seriously, “Now, crush this chump! Dragon Gravity Bomb!” Soon enough, Armed Dragon LV10 launches a black sphere of energy right at Jadeite.

 

Jadeite pushes a button on his duel disk and calls out, “I don't think so, Sun Prince! I play my trap! Hollowed Life Barrier!” Jadeite's face-down card is revealed to be the Hollowed Life Barrier trap card and Jadeite says, discarding one card from his hand to the graveyard, “Thanks to this card, I can negate all damage to me by discarding one card!” A trio of maidens then appears on the field and negates Armed Dragon LV10's attack.

 

Yusuke puts one card in the spell/trap slots and he says, “I'll end my turn!”

 

Current Score:

Yusuke: 2000

Jadeite: 1700

 

Sailor Saturn says, plainly, “This is one close duel.”

 

Kurama says, plainly, “Yes, Sailor Saturn. I believe that Jadeite is dueling better than you would expect.”

 

Syrus says, with a concern tone, “He isn't too bad. That's not good.”

 

Jaden tells Syrus, with a smile, “Don't worry, Syi. Yusuke is a real good duelist as well as a fighter. He won't lose to him. I know it.”

 

Jadeite thinks in his mind, with a sneer, “We'll see about that, Prince Judai! Your sister made a fool of us and the Negaverse and you and she will pay the price, starting with your friend, the Sun Prince!” Jadeite draws one card from his deck, puts one card in the spell/trap slots, and he calls out, “Now, I play my Black Luster Ritual spell card!” Jadeite discards his Gilford the Legend (2600/2000) monster card, puts one card on his duel disk, and he yells out, “I sacrifice my Gilford the Legend to summon my Black Luster Soldier!” Just then Black Luster Soldier (3000/2500) comes to the field in attack mode. Jadeite puts one card on the duel disk and he says, with a sly grin, “Now, I summon my Rocket Warrior in attack mode!” Soon after, Rocket Warrior (1500/1300) comes onto the field in attack mode. Jadeite then calls out, “Now, I play Rocket Warrior's special ability! Invincible Mode!” Rocket Warrior transforms into a large rocket and Jadeite calls out, “Attack!” Rocket Warrior launches right into Armed Dragon LV10, slams into his chest, and it roars out as its stats reduces down from 3000/2000 to 2500/2000!

 

Sailor Jupiter yells out, “What just happened?!”

 

Yugi says, seriously, “That's Rocket Warrior's special ability! When it attacks a monster, it can reduce damage it takes down to zero and a monster attacked by this card loses five hundred points until the turn is over.”

 

Kuwabara says, seriously, “That's not good.”

 

Jadeite yells out, “Black Luster Soldier, get rid of that peon! Chaos Blade Attack!” Black Luster Soldier lunges at Armed Dragon LV10 and with one slice of its swords, destroying Armed Dragon LV10, and Yusuke lose 500 life-points in this attack.

 

Yusuke pushes a button on his duel disk and calls out, “I reveal my face-down card! Soul Rope!” Yusuke's face-down card is revealed to be the Soul Rope trap card and Yusuke says, with a serious tone, “I give one thousand life-points in order to summon a monster of level four or less from my deck when one of my monsters are destroyed.” Yusuke's life-points drop by 1000, he goes through his deck, takes one card from his deck, puts his deck back on his duel disk, and calls out, putting the card on his duel disk, “Now, I summon my Luster Dragon in defense mode!” Soon after, Luster Dragon (1900/1200) comes to the field in defense mode.

 

Jadeite puts one card on his duel disk and says, with a sly sneer, “Ha! Do you think that I'm scared of that little runt?! I end my turn!”

 

Current Score:

Yusuke: 500

Jadeite: 1700

 

Yusuke draws one card from his deck, puts the card in the spell/trap slots, and says, “Now, I play Pot of Greed! And draw two more cards from my deck!” Yusuke draws two cards from his deck, puts one card in the spell/trap slots, and calls out, “Next, I play my Dark Spell Regeneration spell card! This card allows me to use any spell card in the graveyard for this turn and I choose my Dragon's Mirror spell card!”

 

Jadeite calls out, stunned, “No way!”

 

Yusuke says, with a sly smile, “That's right, pal! Now, I remove my Red-Eyes Black Dragon, Red-Eyes Darkness Dragon, Black Skull Dragon, Armed Dragon Level Seven, and Armed Dragon Level Ten from my graveyard!” Soon after, the five cards come out of Yusuke's graveyard, he puts them in his pocket and out of play, he takes a fusion monster card from his fusion deck and puts it on his duel disk, and he yells out, “Now, meet my Five-Headed Dragon!” Soon after, images of the five removed monsters appear on the field, they go into a fusion vortex, and out of the fusion vortex, Five-Headed Dragon (5000/5000) comes to the field in attack mode.

 

Jadeite thinks, with a serious tone, “He might have a large monster on his side of the field, but that overgrown five-headed freak doesn't stand a chance against my Mirror Force trap card.”

 

Yusuke puts one card in the spell/trap slots and he calls out, with a sly smile, “By the way, I play my Mystical Space Typhoon and take out that little face-down over there!” Just then a huge storm comes onto the field and Jadeite's face-down card, Mirror Force trap card, is destroying causing him to gasp in shock.

 

Hikari calls out, excitedly, “Awesome, bro!”

 

Kuwabara yells out, excitedly, “Great job, Urameshi! Now, send this punk back to the minor leagues!”

 

Yusuke exclaims, seriously, “You heard him, my dragon! Crush this jerk flat! Five-Headed Flame Attack!” Five-Headed Dragon launches beams of fire, lightning, wind, water, and darkness launch directly at Black Luster Soldier, it cries out in pain as it is destroyed, and Jadeite shouts out in shock as he loses 2000 life-points, ending the duel immediately.

 

Final Score:

Yusuke: 500

Jadeite: 0

 

With the duels end, Jadeite is thrown back to the ground on his buttocks as the final holograms fade away and Yusuke says, with a sly smile, “And that's game, asshole!”

 

Jaden calls out, excitedly, “Way to play, Yusuke!”

 

Yusuke says, with a sly smile, “Thanks, Yusuke! I show that Negaverse jerk that even through he's a general, that doesn't mean he can beat me in a duel!”

 

Jadeite says, angrily, “You may have won, but that doesn't that I will . . .!”

 

Just then a familiar male voice calls out, “. . . Or you'll what?” Everyone looks to the source of the voice to see Hiei standing by the right side of the unconsciousness Slifer Red male with the body of the youma slowly fading away with its head easily cut off.

 

Sailor Uranus comments, plainly, “He's fast.”

 

Sailor Venus looks to see where Hiei was, finds he was gone, and she looks back, exclaiming, shocked, “I didn't even see him move!”

 

Valkyrie Sailor Moon says, plainly, “I did. He slipped away during the middle of the duel and when Yusuke finished Jadeite off, Hiei sliced off the youma's head before it knew what hit him.”

 

Sailor Libra asks Valkyrie Sailor Moon, “How did you see that?”

 

Kurama says, with a plain tone, “Remember, Sailor Moon is at a higher level of Sailor Soldier power than the rest of us and plus, she has her own spiritual powers, which increases her spiritual awareness and `sight', so, she could see what happened.

 

Sailor Jupiter asks, perplexed, “If you saw what he did, weren't you shocked and throw up?”

 

Valkyrie Sailor Moon replies, with a disgusted look on her face, “What makes you think I wasn't? Did he really have to that?”

 

Hikari says, with a plain tone, “That's Hiei's style. Quick and clean before his enemies can fight back.”

 

Jadeite calls out, with a sly smile, “You might have stopped me, but I have to thank the Sun Prince for the energy.”

 

Yusuke yells out, seriously, “What do you mean?!”

 

Jadeite replies, with a sly grin, “During the time that we were dueling, all of the energy you were expending in battling me was collected by Queen Beryl, but the amount was so small that you didn't notice. Only when you lose the duel is when we collect the major energy. Even through that I lost, you still gave us some energy for the Negaverse! Thank you fool!”

 

Sailor Mars yells out, angrily, “Why you asshole?!”

 

Jadeite calls out, slyly, “Farewell, foolish royals!”

 

Yusuke exclaims, angrily, “Hold it!” However, Jadeite leaps up into the air and teleports away before any of our heroes and heroines could stop him, he was gone.

 

Kuwabara states, perplexed, “Wait a minute! I didn't sense any of Urameshi's energy was being taken!”

 

Hiei says, with a plain tone, “I did, fool. The amount was so small that you limited senses couldn't detect it.”

 

Kuwabara says, with a nasty tone, “Limited?!”

 

Hiei tells Kuwabara, with a plain tone, “If your senses were as good as mine, fool, then you would have been able to sense a weak energy drain.”

 

Kuwabara calls out, angrily, “You are starting to piss me off, shorty!”

 

Yusuke calls out, angrily, “Damn it! I can't believe that I helped those assholes out!”

 

Hikari tells Yusuke, with a plain tone, “Don't worry about it, bro. I was fooled too. I couldn't sense a thing.”

 

Sailor Mars says, with a plain tone, “I sensed a weird vibe in the air, but it was so weak, I couldn't tell what it was.”

 

Tuxedo Mask says, seriously, “The Negaverse has changed tactics, but then again, they are weak and they need energy by any means possible.”

 

Sailor Star asks, in a serious tone, “What do we do now? If we duel them, we will be giving them energy ourselves.”

 

Sailor Universe tells Sailor Star, with a serious tone, “And if we don't duel them, they will take energy from students, including those Society Dorks.”

 

Miroku says, plainly, “And trading one evil for another isn't a good idea.”

 

Inuyasha says, seriously, “For once, you have a good point, Miroku.”

 

Yeshua says, in a plain and logical tone, “It is for the best that the faster that we defeat them, the less energy that they can gain for their plans.”

 

Sailor Pluto says, with a plain and serious tone, “Yeshua brings up a good point, everyone. Even if they gain some energy from us while dueling, the amount will be less if we don't stop stealing from other students.”

 

Yeshua says, seriously, “I sense that Zoisite is nearby.”

 

Valkyrie Sailor Moon says, with a serious tone, “I can tell. I can remember her nasty odor anywhere.”

 

Yusuke calls out, seriously, “Well, what are we waiting for?!”

 

Yukina states, concerned, “Wait! Shouldn't someone get that poor boy back to Red dorm where he would be safe?”

 

Sango calls out, “Allow me! Kirara!” The little cat demon then transforms into her full demon cat form with a loud roar.

 

Sailor Venus yells out, surprised, “Whoa! Now, that's an amazing trick!”

 

Sango puts the Slifer Red boy onto Kirara's back, she hopes on her back, and she says, “I'll rejoin as soon as I can! I already know where that place you call a `dorm' is!”

 

Sailor Star tells Sango, with a serious tone, “Be careful, Sango! With Naraku back and enemies like this roaming around along with that alien freak, who knows what will come out of the trees and bushes!”

 

Sango tells Sailor Star, with a smile, “I will, Kagome!” Sango tells her faithful friend, “Let's go, Kirara!” With a mighty roar, Kirara lifts into the air and heads towards the Slifer Red dorms to bring the Slifer Red student to safety.

 

Sailor Jupiter says, seriously, “Now, let's get that rotten snake in the grass, Zoisite!” Not needing another word, our heroes and heroines rush off to find the next evil Negaverse general and stop her from absorbing more energy for the Negaverse.

 

(In another part of Academy Island; Sometime soon after)

 

Within another area of Academy Island, we find a group of female Obelisk Blue student huddling together in fear as they see Zoisite, with a duel disk that has a dueling deck inside attached to her left wrist, walking menacing towards them with an evil smile on her lips.

 

Zoisite says, with an evil smile, “Well, who's next girls? Don't be shy. Now, who wants to give their energy to the Negaverse?”

 

Just then a familiar female voice calls out, in a serious tone, “How about us, you sleaze?” Zoisite looks to the source to see our heroes and heroines assembling in front of her.

 

Zoisite says, with a snarl, “Just great. The Sailor brats and their new friends.”

 

Valkyrie Sailor Moon says, “Well, if it isn't Zoisite? Up to your old tricks, I see.”

 

Sailor Earth says, with a growl, “You shouldn't be surprised, Serenity. This wench was always a two-timing snake.”

 

Zoisite says, with a nasty tone, “So, if it isn't Endymon's little sister? Should have known a little whore like you would be running around if you fucking brother were also reincarnated with his bratty princess.”

 

Sailor Sun states, with a plain tone, “Do you kiss your mother with that mouth?”

 

Hikari, in her Eternal Twilight Sailor Galaxy form, tells Sailor Sun, “Most likely, she stabbed her own mother in the back.”

 

Zoisite says, with a sly grin, “Well, if it isn't the Sun Kingdom royal family? Together, again, I see. Through I see little Miss Galaxy Princess hasn't found her old boyfriend, yet?”

 

Sailor Galaxy asks, perplexed, “What do you mean?”

 

Zoisite says, with an evil sly grin, “Heh. I see that your memories haven't come back nor what happened to your boyfriend or your precious family when Queen Beryl destroyed the Silver Millennium and the Moon Kingdom. I mean you witnessed the horrible events before . . . you know.”

 

Sailor Galaxy yells out, angrily, “Hey! What do you know?! Tell me!”

 

Valkyrie Sailor Moon tells Sailor Galaxy, seriously, “Sailor Galaxy, you can't trust her! Zoisite would love to mess with your head and lying is part of her game! Don't listen to whatever she says.”

 

Zoisite says, with an evil sly smile, “Ooh, looks like the Moon Princess has indeed gained a backbone.”

 

Valkyrie Sailor Moon retorts, with a sly grin, “At least I had a backbone to start with you spineless witch.”

 

Zoisite gives a snarl and Sailor Aries says, with a sly smile, “Nice one, Sailor Moon.”

 

Sailor Jupiter motions for the female Obelisk girls to head off, they do so, and Zoisite says, annoyed while holding up her duel disk, “Well, are you going to duel or not?!”

 

Sailor Universe touches the jewel on her chest, she transforms back into Keiko, with a duel disk that has a dueling deck inside attached to her left wrist, and she says, with a serious tone, “I'll take you on!”

 

Keiko steps forward to face Zoisite, everyone gasps when she does this, and Tuxedo Mask tells Keiko, seriously, “Keiko, you can't trust her! Zoisite is a sleeve and backstabber, who will use any dirty trick to win!”

 

Valkyrie Sailor Moon says, seriously, “That's right, Keiko! She nearly killed Darien with a sneak attack from behind when we faced her in the towel on the night that I was revealed as the Moon Princess and the Silver Crystal was returned to me! You can't trust her!”

 

Keiko tells Valkyrie Sailor Moon, with a smile, “Don't worry, Serena! I'm a Sailor Scout, too! Plus, with all of you watching her, she can't make one false move against me!”

 

Yusuke says, with a serious tone while cracking his knuckles, “And if she does, she will regret, BIG TIME!”

 

Zoisite says, with a mocking tone, “Relying on your boyfriend, the Sun Prince, to protect you Princess Sakura? How pathetic. I doubt that you have unlocked the deepest portions of your true power.”

 

Keiko asks, curiously, “What do you mean?”

 

Zoisite says, with a nasty tone, “Can't you hear right, little princess? You aren't the Supreme Princess of the Universe for nothing, little Sakura. You have great powers within you, but I doubt that you have the ability to harness them. If you did, you would already have powers that exceed Sailor Moon in strength and ability since you are one of the Sailor Scouts that rival Sailor Moon and Sailor Galaxia in power.”

 

Sailor Jupiter says, with an annoyed tone, “She's just trying to mess with Keiko's head!”

 

Tuxedo Mask says, seriously, “I don't think so.”

 

Kurama says, with a serious and plain tone, “Darien is correct. I think that Zoisite is telling the truth this time. There is no change in her heartbeat or breathing. I believe that she is confident that Keiko won't access her `inner power' and gain the power to rival Sailor Moon and Sailor Galaxia.”

 

Zoisite says, with a sly grin, “If you aren't able to access that great power of yours, then why should be afraid of you winning a simple card game?”

 

Keiko replies, with a sly smile, “You are about to find that out right now witch.” Zoisite and Keiko activate their duel disks, their life-points counters display 4000 life-points, and they draw five cards from their deck as the other heroes and heroines give them some distance.

 

“Let's duel!” Keiko and Zoisite yell out in unison.

 

Starting Scores:

Keiko: 4000

Zoisite: 4000

 

Keiko draws one card from her deck and calls out, “I'll start things off!” Keiko puts one card in the spell/trap slots and calls out, “I summon my UFO Turtle in defense mode!” Soon after, UFO Turtle (1400/1200) comes to the field in defense mode. Keiko puts one card in the spell/trap slots and yells out, seriously, “I'll end my turn with one card face-down!”

 

Zoisite draws one card from her deck and yells out, seriously, “Is that all?!” Zoisite looks at her hand, puts one card on her duel disk, and yells out, “Now, I summon my Cyber Harpie in attack mode!” Soon after, Cyber Harpie (1800/1300) comes to the field in attack mode. She puts one card in the spell/trap slots and says, seriously, “Next, I play my Quick-Summon spell card! This card allows me to summon another monster from my hand to the field!” Zoisite puts one card on her duel disk and exclaims, “So, I summon Harpie Lady Number One in attack mode!” Just then Harpie Lady 1 (1300/1400) comes to the field in attack mode and Zoisite yells out, “And thanks to her ability, all Wind monsters gain three hundred attack points!” Soon after, Cyber Harpie's stats rise from 1800/1300 to 2100/1300 while Harpie Lady 1's stats rise from 1300/1400 to 1600/1400!

 

Sailor Venus says, worriedly, “That isn't good!”

 

Zoisite yells out, “Harpie Lady One, destroy her overgrown shellfish!” Harpie Lady One moves in and destroys UFO Turtle, but since it was in defense mode, Keiko doesn't lose any life-points.

 

Keiko pushes a button on her duel disk and yells out, “You've just activate my trap! Backfire!” Keiko's face-down card is the Backfire Continuous trap card and Keiko says, seriously, “As long as this card remains on the field, when you sent a Fire monster from the field to the grave, you lose five hundred life-points automatically.”

 

Zoisite yelps out, shocked, “What?!” Zoisite yells out as flame surround her as she loses 500 life-points in one shot.

 

Keiko then takes out her deck and says, while going through her deck, “Now, my Turtle's ability activates! When he is destroyed in battle, I get to summon a Fire monster with fifteen hundred attack points or less from my deck directly to the field!” Keiko takes one card from her deck, puts her deck back in her duel disk, puts the card on her duel disk, and yells out, “Now, I summon my Charcoal Inpachi in defense mode!” Soon after, Charcoal Inpachi (100/2100) comes to the field in defense mode.

 

Zoisite growls in annoyance and yells out, annoyed while putting one card in the spell/trap slots, “Fine! I'll end with this!”

 

Current Score:

Keiko: 4000

Zoisite: 3500

 

Keiko draws one card from her deck and calls out, with a taunting tone, “What's the matter, Zoisite? Pretty sore, huh?” Keiko puts one card on her duel disk and yells out, “Well, It's about to get worse! I sacrifice my Inpachi to summon my Twin-Headed Fire Dragon in attack mode!” Charcoal Inpachi vanishes and Twin-Headed Fire Dragon (2200/1700) comes to the field in attack mode. Keiko then says, with a sly smile, “And since another Fire monster went from the field to the grave, you lose five hundred more points.” Zoisite growls in anger as she glows fiery red as her life-points drop by another 500 points.

 

Zoisite thinks in her mind, in a serious tone, “We will see who will be laughing when I play my Mirror Trap card on you!”

 

Keiko puts one card in the spell/trap slots and states, “Next, I play my Mystical Space Typhoon spell card! This card destroys one spell or trap card on the field! And guess which card I'm going for?!” Just then a huge wind destroys Zoisite's face-down card and she yelps out in shock.

 

Zoisite calls out, stunned, “My trap card!”

 

Keiko calls out, seriously, “Is gone! So, Twin-Headed Fire Dragon, the coast is clear! Destroy her Cyber Harpie with Double Flame Assault!” Her dragon fires a powerful breath of flame from its two mouths and destroys Zoisite's Cyber Harpie costing her 100 more life-points. Keiko puts one card in the spell/trap slots and says, “I'll place this face-down and give you a break.”

 

Current Score:

Keiko: 4000

Zoisite: 2900

 

Kuwabara yells out, excitedly, “Way to go, Keiko!”

 

Sailor Mars says, a bit amazed, “I can't believe that Keiko is doing so well against her.”

 

Sailor Uranus says, plainly, “I'm amazed that so far that Zoisite didn't try any of her tricks.”

 

Sailor Pluto says, with a serious tone, “However, we have to be wary of her.”

 

Zoisite draws one card from her deck and calls out, angrily, “Lucky shot! But your luck has run out!” Zoisite puts one card in the spell/trap slots and yells out, “First, I play my Pot of Greed! This card gives me two more cards from my deck!” Zoisite draws two cards from her deck, she looks at them, and gives a sly smile. Her Field Spell slot then opens up, she puts a card inside, and she yells out, with a sly smile, “Now, I play my Harpie's Hunting Ground spell card!” Soon after, the whole field transforms into a huge mountainous field with little monster running around with Harpies flying in the air and Zoisite says, with a evil sly smile, “Thanks to this card, when a Harpie Lady or Harpie Lady sister is summoned to the field, one spell or trap card on the field is destroyed! Plus, this card gives all of my Winged Beasts an additional two hundred attack and defense points!” Harpie Lady 1's stats then rise from 1600/1400 to 1800/1600! Zoisite then puts one card in the spell/trap slots and calls out, “Next, I play my Elegant Egotist spell card! When there is a Harpie Lady on my side of the field, I can use this to summon one Harpie Lady Sisters from my hand or deck!” Soon after, a card comes out of Zoisite's deck, she puts the card on her duel disk, and Harpie Lady Sisters (1950/2100) come to the field in attack mode. Zoisite then says, with a sly grin, “And since a Harpie Lady Sisters has come to the field, one of the spell or trap cards on the field has to go! Like your Backfire trap!”

 

Keiko's Backfire Continuous trap card is destroyed and she yells out, surprised, “Oh no!”

 

Zoisite then says, with an evil sly smile, “But it gets even worse, girlfriend, my Field Spell and my Harpie Lady One gives my Sisters a power boost!” Harpie Lady Sisters' stats then rise from 1950/2100 to 2450/2300, thanks to Harpie Lady One and Harpie's Hunting Ground Field Spell.

 

Sailor Galaxy says, with a worried tone, “This isn't good.”

 

Sailor Saturn says, worriedly tone, “For Keiko-chan.”

 

Zoisite yells out, “Now, my sisters, crush that overgrown lizard now!” Harpie Lady Sisters come together, spin around until they create a tornado, and they slam into Twin-Headed Fire Dragon, destroying it, and costing Keiko 250 life-points. Zoisite then yells out, seriously, “Now, come forth, Harpie Lady One and show this little princess your claws!” Harpie Lady One moves in and Keiko yells out as she is slashed by Harpie Lady One's claws costing her 1800 more life-points.

 

Sailor Star calls out, worriedly, “Keiko!”

 

Zoisite laughs evilly and she says, tauntingly, “What's wrong, little girl? Did my Harpies give you a boo-boo?”

 

Keiko pushes a button on her duel disk and calls out, seriously, “We will see who will be laughing last Zoisite! I play my trap: Damage Condenser!” Keiko's face-down card is revealed to be the trap card known as Damage Condenser and she says, seriously, “This trap card allows me to summon a monster from my deck with equal to less attack points as the damage that you just gave me, Zoisite!” Keiko goes through her deck, takes one card from it, puts the card on her duel disk, and yells out, “Now, I summon my Solar Flare Dragon in attack mode!” Soon after, Solar Flare Dragon (1500/1000) comes to the field in attack mode.

 

Zoisite says, with a sneer, “So, what? My Harpies are going to tear you overgrown firecracker apart!”

 

Current Score:

Zoisite: 2900

 

Keiko draws one card from her deck and she says, seriously, “Don't count it!” Keiko puts one card in the spell/trap slots and says, “Now, I play my Dark Spell Regeneration! This card allows me to use any spell card in the graveyard for one turn! And I choose your Pot of Greed! So, now, I draw two more cards from my deck!” Keiko draws two cards from her deck, Keiko puts one card on her duel disk, and she yells out, “Next, I summon a second Solar Flare Dragon in attack mode!” Just then another Solar Flare Dragon (1500/1000) appears on the field in attack mode. Keiko puts one card in the spell/trap slots and she says, seriously, “I'll end with this and my dragons take away one thousand of your life-points!”

 

Zoisite yells out, shocked, “No!” Both Solar Flare Dragons launch orbs of flame at Zoisite and she yells out as they slam into her costing her 1000 life-points.

 

Current Score:

Keiko: 1950

Zoisite: 1900

 

Zoisite draws one card from her deck and yells out, angrily, “You will pay for that!”

 

Keiko tells Zoisite, with a sly smile, “Well, you can't attack my dragons for to do that, Zoisite! Whenever my Solar Flare Dragon is on the field, you can't attack any other monster other than him and since I have two, you can't attack either of them!”

 

Zoisite says, stunned, “And that means, I can't attack at all!”

 

Keiko says, with a sly grin, “Well, you are catching on your real fast!”

 

Jaden calls out, with a smile, “Awesome move, Keiko! You showed her!”

 

Yusuke tells Keiko, “Nice move, Keiko! Keep it up!”

 

Zoisite yells out, angrily while putting one card in the spell/trap slots, “We'll see if you are cheering after I do this! I play my Card of Sanctity spell card! This card forces both of us to draw until we have six cards in our hands! Zoisite and Keiko draw until they have six cards in their hands, Zoisite puts one card in the spell/trap slots, and says, with an evil sly smile, “Then I play my Lightning Vortex spell card! By discarding one card from my hand, I can destroy all monsters on your side of the field!”

 

Sailor Galaxy yells out, horrified, “Oh no! That will leave Keiko defenseless!”

 

Zoisite replies, with an evil smile while discarding one card from her hand, “Exactly!” Just then a huge lightning storm destroys Keiko's two Solar Dragons and Zoisite yells out, seriously while putting one card in the spell/trap slots, “Next, I play Monster Reborn to bring back the monster that I sent to my graveyard! Harpie's Pet Dragon!” Soon after, Harpie's Pet Dragon (2000/2500) comes to the field in attack mode. Zoisite then says, with a sly smirk, “And thanks to its ability, it gains three hundred attack points since there is a Harpie on the field and with Harpie Lady One's ability, it gains another three hundred points!” Harpie's Pet Dragon roars out as its stats rise from 2000/2500 to 2600/2500! Zoisite calls out, with an evil smile, “You're through, princess! Harpie's Pet Dragon, attack her directly!” Harpie's Pet Dragon fires a breath of flames directly at Keiko.

 

Valkyrie Sailor Moon yells out, stunned, “Keiko, look out!”

 

Keiko pushes a button on her duel disk and calls out, “I play my trap card! Negate Attack!” Keiko's face-down card is revealed to be the Negate Attack trap card and a shield protects Keiko from Pet Dragon's attack. Keiko says, seriously, “Sorry, Zoisite, but this card not only stops your attack, it also ends your Battle Phase, so, you can't attack me anymore.”

 

Zoisite says, with a snarl while putting two cards in the spell/trap slots, “You are just stalling! I end with these!”

 

Keiko draws one card from her deck, gives a wide smile, and says, “Well, it has been fun, Zoisite, but like they say, all good things must come to an end, so, I'm going to end this duel!”

 

Zoisite yells out, angrily, “You are just bluffing!”

 

Keiko puts one card in the spell/trap slots and calls out, “I play my Soul Exchange spell card! Now, I sacrifice two monsters on your side of the field to summon one high-level monster in my hand! And I choose your Pet Dragon and your Sisters!”

 

Zoisite calls out, horrified, “No!” Soon after, Harpie's Pet Dragon and Harpie Lady Sisters vanish from the field as they are sacrificed.

 

Keiko puts one card on her duel disk and yells out, “Now, I summon my Infernal Flame Emperor in attack mode!” Soon after, Infernal Flame Emperor (2700/1600) comes to the field in attack mode.

 

Sailor Venus yells out, excitedly, “That's Keiko's best card!”

 

Keiko then says, with a sly smile, “Next, I play its ability! Now, I can remove up to five Fire monsters from my graveyard and for each one that I remove, one spell or trap card on the field is destroyed! So, I remove my two Solar Flare Dragons and my UFO Turtle to destroy your two face-down cards and your Field Spell!” The three monsters come out of Keiko's graveyard, she puts them in her pocket and `out of play', and Zoisite's two face-down cards and her Field Spell are destroyed causing the field to return to normal while Harpie Lady 1's stats reduce down to 1600/1400!

 

Zoisite yells out, angrily, “You will pay for that!”

 

Keiko says, with a sly grin while putting one card in the spell/trap slots, “Don't count on it! Next, I play my Dian Kato the Cure Master! This card gives me one thousand more life-points with no questions asked!” Keiko's life-points then increase by 1000 and Keiko says, while putting another card in the spell/trap slots, “And finally, I play my Dimension Fusion! At a cost of two thousand life-points, all monsters removed from play are summoned back to our side of the field!”

 

Zoisite exclaims, in disbelief, “No, it can't be!” Keiko's life-points drop by 2000 and both Solar Flare Dragon (1500/1000 X 2) and UFO Turtle (1400/1200) comes back to the field in attack mode.

 

Valkyrie Sailor Moon says, with a wide smile on her lips, “Excellent work, Keiko! Now, send this witch back to the Negaverse back to where she belongs!”

 

Keiko calls out, seriously, “You heard her, everyone! Time to end this! Infernal Flame Emperor, crush her Harpie! Underground Torch!” Infernal Flame Emperor slams its palm into the ground, a column of flames bursts up from the ground under Harpie Lady 1's feet, and it screeches as it is destroyed causing Zoisite to lose 1100 life-points. Keiko then yells out, strongly, “Now, my monsters, finish her off!” All of Keiko's remaining monsters launch flame attacks right at Zoisite and Zoisite yells out before they hit her causing a huge explosion of smoke and dust. When the smoke and dust clear, Zoisite falls to her knees as she loses 4400 life-points, ending the duel immediately.

 

Final Score:

Keiko: 950

Zoisite: 0

 

After the final holograms fade away, Sailor Jupiter exclaims, excitedly, “You did it, Keiko!”

 

Sailor Galaxy says, with a wide smile, “Nice job, Keiko! You showed her that when you play with fire, you will get burned!”

 

Sailor Mars says, with a wide sly grin, “Big time!”

 

Yusuke tells Keiko, with a wide loving smile, “You were awesome out there!”

 

Keiko looks at Yusuke with a loving smile and she tells Yusuke, with a loving tone, “Thanks, Yusuke.”

 

Zoisite yells out, angrily, “Celebrate while you can, fools! I'll be back! I promise you that! Zoi!” Soon after, Zoisite teleports away in a swirls of pink rose petals.

 

Tuxedo Mask says, seriously, “That's two down and one more to go.”

 

Keiko asks, curiously, “Do you think that Zoisite was telling the truth? That I have some kind of great power locked within me that I have yet to use.”

 

Valkyrie Sailor Moon looks directly at Yeshua and Sailor Pluto and asks, plainly, “Well?”

 

Sailor Pluto says, with a plain tone, “My princess, Zoisite was indeed correct when she said that Keiko has greater powers as Sailor Universe. Remember, Keiko is the reincarnation of Princess Sakura, Supreme Princess and Protector of the Universe, and one of the Mistresses of all Solar and Sailor Elements, Earth, Fire, Wind, Water, Light, Darkness, Ice, Lightning, Wood, Time, and more, and thus, one of the most powerful Sailor Scouts, rivaling you and Sailor Galaxia in power.”

 

Keiko asks, curiously, “Then why haven't I unlocked this power, yet?”

 

Yeshua tells Keiko, with a plain tone, “Like all things in life, they will choose to unlock themselves, Keiko.”

 

Tuxedo Mask says, seriously, “Right now, we have other things to worry about.”

 

Sailor Uranus states, plainly, “Like finding Malachite. The last of the generals causing chaos around here.”

 

Inuyasha says, plainly, “Let's go find this jerk and get him out of here already.”

 

Sailor Star tells Inuyasha, with a smile, “Inuyasha, you have read my mind. You are starting to scare me.”

 

Inuyasha tells Sailor Star, with a sarcastic tone, “Very funny, Kagome.” Sailor Star gives a sly giggle and soon after, the group of our heroes and heroines head over to find Malachite and stop him.

 

(A short time soon after; within another area of Academy Island)

 

Once again, we find our heroes and heroines, with Keiko transformed back to Eternal Twilight Sailor Universe, looking around for any signs of Malachite, but so far, they don't see any sign of him.

 

Sailor Mercury is using her computer to scan for him and Sailor Saturn asks Sailor Mercury, “Did you find him, Mercury-chan?”

 

Sailor Mercury says, shaking her head, “No, Saturn. There is nothing so far.”

 

Kurama says, seriously, “However, he is in the area. I can feel his dark aura around here.”

 

Sailor Mars nods her head in agreement and she says, “Same here.”

 

Valkyrie Sailor Moon puts her hand on the hilt of her sword and she says, seriously, “He's here. My new spiritual sense can sense him around here.”

 

Sailor Galaxy says, curiously, “It could be possible that he is using invisibility to make us unable to be seen.”

 

Just then a familiar male voice calls out, “Well done, Princess Hikari. You have done well.” Just then Malachite, having a black version of the Academy Duel Disk with a dueling deck inside attached to his left wrist, appears seemly out of thin air in a nearby tree branch.

 

Tuxedo Mask yells out, seriously, “Malachite!”

 

Malachite moves his right index finger, moves it around, and he says, with an evil smirk, “I don't think so, young prince.” Malachite snaps his fingers and two Academy students, one male Ra Yellow student and one female Obelisk Blue student, appear strapped to the trees by thick ropes.

 

Sailor Universe calls out, seriously, “Let them go! They aren't involved with us.”

 

Malachite says, with a plain tone, “I'm afraid not. Unless you duel me for their release, I will not release them and if you try to take them, the vines will crush them without mercy.”

 

Sailor Jupiter yells out, angrily, “You scum!”

 

Malachite says, seriously, “Enough talk! You must duel me for them if you wish to release them, but I must warn you. I've studied the game and its ancient Egyptian counterpart and I've developed a deck of incredible power that it can't be beat.”

 

Zane, with his duel disk containing his dueling deck inside attached to his left wrist, steps forward and says, with a sick smile, “Do you want to bet on that? Personally, I don't care one bit about those other students, but you just perked my interested about your deck. Let's see if it can cut it with the power of the Underworld deck.”

 

Malachite says, with an evil sly smile, “The infamous Underworld deck? I've heard many stories about that powerful dark deck and its mythical or infamous, Cyber Dark creatures, which it holds.”

 

Zane states, with a sick smile, “So, you accept my challenge?”

 

Malachite states, with an evil sly smile, “On your terms, `Hell Kaiser'. I've already heard about your ruthless reputation and your great skills and power. Why do you stay with them when people like Queen Beryl can respect your ruthless nature?”

 

Zane scoffs, closes his eyes, and states, with a dark smile on his lips, “Fool. All I ever care about is victory and haven't you heard? Heroes always win and villains, like you, are always losers. And from what I can see, it makes perfect sense. I prefer to be on the true winning team and not a bunch of pathetic washed losers like you and your Queen, who I heard got kicked in the ass by a little Moon Princess. If you can't beat her, then what chance do you have against me?”

 

Malachite says, with an angered snarl, “You will pay for those words, human!”

 

Sailor Mercury says, “I think that Syrus' brother just made a mistake.”

 

Sailor Venus states, nervously, “Getting a Negaverse general mad at you is never a good idea.”

 

Malachite states, with an evil smile, “If you are so sure that you can defeat me, then why don't we fight by your Underground terms?”

 

Zane says, with a sick smile, “Now, you are talking my language fool, but this is the dumbest move that you've made.” Zane asks Sailor Galaxy, “Kari, can you give me my stuff?”

 

Sailor Galaxy replies, a bit nervously, “S-Sure.” Sailor Galaxy takes a black suitcase from her sub-space pocket and Syrus gasps in shock knowing what's in there.

 

Syrus asks Sailor Galaxy, perplexed, “Kari, why do you have those Underground Dueling shackles that Zane uses sometimes?!”

 

Sailor Galaxy replies, with a nervous tone, “He asked me for a favor.”

 

Sailor Neptune says, whispering to Uranus and with a sly smile, “I think that our young Galaxy Princess has a major crush on our Firefly's new boyfriend's elder brother.”

 

Sailor Uranus nods her head and says, with a sigh, “Not sure it is a good thing.” Sailor Galaxy hands the suitcase to Zane, who puts in the ground in front of Malachite, and kicks it open to reveal six black shackles.

 

Zane asks Malachite, with a sick smile, “Last chance to back out now because when we start, the pain and destruction will begin.”

 

Malachite tells Zane, with an evil smile, “Your ruthlessness really impresses me Hell Kaiser, but let us see how much pain a mere human can truly endure.” Soon enough, Malachite and Zane put the shackles around their necks and upper arms, get into their positions for their duel, and activate their duel disks, their life-point counters display 4000 life-points each.

 

Sailor Sun asks, curiously, “Does Zane know what he is doing?!”

 

Atticus tells his sister, “Wish that I knew, sis. He has changed so much, I don't know really what to think.”

 

Syrus thinks in his mind, “Personally, I wonder what you are thinking, big bro. Just be careful out there.”

 

The two duelists draw five cards from their decks and yell out in unison, “Game on!”

 

Starting Scores:

Zane: 4000

Malachite: 4000

 

Malachite draws one card from his deck and says, seriously, “I'll go first!”

 

Zane says, with a dark nasty tone, “You will need a head start!”

 

Malachite huffs at Zane, puts one card in the spell/trap slots, and he says, “I'll start with Painful Choice! This card allows me choose five cards from my deck to show you, then you choose one that goes into my hand, and the rest go to my graveyard!” Five cards then float out of Malachite's deck and everyone gasps when they are revealed to be the five monsters cards that are the pieces of Exodia the Forbidden One!

 

Yusuke yells out, shocked, “Oh shit! Those are the five cards that created Exodia the Forbidden One!”

 

Sailor Mercury asks, concerned, “He has those cards in his deck?!”

 

Jaden says, seriously, “That's trouble!”

 

Bastion states, with a plain tone, “Yes, it would be if he has all five cards in his hand, but since they were drawn with Painful Choice only one will go into his hand while the rest go into his grave, so, he can't get all of them into his hand. What could he be planning?”

 

Sailor Uranus says, seriously, “Something not good, we know that much.”

 

Tuxedo Mask says, with a serious tone, “Agreed. He has some kind of plan up his sleeve.”

 

Malachite asks Zane, with a taunting tone, “Did I confuse you?”

 

Zane says, with a dark serious tone, “Hardly! You might be thinking that you are confusing me by sending the majority of Exodia to the grave, but I know that there is a monster that you can summon when all five pieces of Exodia are in the grave and if you think that Exodia Necross is going to help you win this duel, then you are mistaken!”

 

Malachite states, with a sly smile, “Who said that I was using Exodia Necross?”

 

Zane yells out, seriously, “Enough! I choose the Left Arm of Exodia to go your hand!” Soon after, the Left Arm of the Forbidden One (200/300) card goes into Malachite's hand while the rest of Exodia cards goes to the graveyard.

 

Malachite puts one card in the spell/trap slots and calls out, “Thank you! Now, I play my Monster Reincarnation! I discard one card from my hand and get one monster card from graveyard!” Malachite discards a spell card called Ultimate Unsealing Ritualistic Technique into his graveyard, the Exodia the Forbidden One (1000/1000) monster card comes out of the graveyard slot, and he says, with an evil sly smile, “And I choose to bring back Exodia's head back from the graveyard.” Malachite then calls out, “Now, I play the effect a special spell card! It is known as Ultimate Unsealing Ritualistic Technique and I can only play it when the five pieces of Exodia are in my hand and in the graveyard with this card in the graveyard! And I sent this card to the graveyard when I used Monster Reincarnation! With this card's effect, I send all of the pieces of Exodia in my graveyard back to my deck!” The three remaining Exodia cards come out of Malachite's graveyard, Malachite reshuffles them into his deck, Malachite discards the two pieces of Exodia in his hand to the graveyard, and he says, with an evil smile, “Now, all I need to do is sacrifice two pieces of Exodia in my hand to the graveyard to summon a creature that you can't defeat!” A card comes out of Malachite's deck, he puts it on his duel disk, and he yells out, with an evil smile, “Now, meet my ultimate creature: Exodios the Ultimate Forbidden God!” Just then a huge gate appears behind Malachite while a huge humanoid monster that looks similar to Exodia expect even through it is huge around the size of a good sized house, it isn't nowhere close to the huge skyscraper tall Exodia, she has black soldiers and face with light yellow eyes on a more humanoid face, and wearing a dark blue skirt-like around this monster's waist and lower, appears behind Malachite. This new monster, Exodios the Ultimate Forbidden God (?/0), comes to the field in attack mode.

 

Our heroes and heroines, even Zane, are amazed by the new monster and Sailor Saturn asks, worriedly, “Is that Exodia?”

 

Bastion replies, seriously, “No. It looks like Exodia, but that's not Exodia. It is a different monster, but I never seen that before.”

 

Sailor Mercury says, perplexed, “Neither have I. What is that creature?”

 

Kuwabara says, seriously, “Big trouble.”

 

Malachite tells Zane, with an evil sly grin, “Curious about my Exodios, Zane? I used a powerful dark ritual to summon the powers of Exodia from deep within the shadows and in simple terms, thanks to this monster, you can't win. First of, this monster can't be destroyed or effected by my opponent's monster, spell, and trap card effects. And for every monster sent to my graveyard, my Exodios gains one thousand attack points! Since there are two monster cards in my grave, my Exodios gains two thousand attack points!” Exodios' stats increase from 0/0 to 2000/0 and Malachite says, with an evil sly grin, “Next, there is a huge door behind me. Well, behind that door sleeps the legendary Exodia the Forbidden One and when all five pieces of Exodia are in the graveyard when this card is on the field, you automatically lose the duel!”

 

Our heroes and heroines gasp out in shock and Jaden says, seriously, “That's not good at all!”

 

Tyranno says, with a serious tone, “No joke, Sarge! If that creep gets all five pieces of Exodia into his grave, this battle is over for Zane!”

 

Malachite says, with a plain tone and evil smile, “I think I will end my turn and let you off for now.”

 

Zane thinks in his mind, with a dark serious tone, “Interesting. So, this card allows the player to summon Exodia without needing all of the components to be in one's hand and this card gets stronger with every monster that I send to the grave along with the fact that I can't destroy it in battle as well as not destroy it and effect it with monster, spell, and trap card effects. Needless to say, I'm impressed. This general, unlike the other two that Yusuke and Keiko beat, isn't THAT much of a loser after all, but it doesn't mean that he can defeat me and the power of my Underworld deck!” Zane draws one card from his deck and yells out, darkly, “My move!”

 

Malachite says, with an evil sly smile, “Remember, you can't destroy my Exodios, Zane.”

 

Zane replies, putting one card in the spell/trap slots and with a sick smile on his lips, “So? Who said that I needed to destroy it? I play my Future Fusion! Here's how it works: I send Fusion Material monsters from my deck to the graveyard to summon my fusion monster!” Zane goes through his deck, takes out three cards, puts his deck back in his duel disk, discards three Cyber Dragons (2100/1600 X 3) to the graveyard, puts a fusion monster card from his fusion deck on his duel disk, and calls out, “So, I send my three Cyber Dragons to the graveyard to summon my Cyber End Dragon!” Soon after, Cyber End Dragon (4000/2800) comes to the field in attack mode.

 

Malachite tells Zane, with an evil smile, “Nice work, but your dragon can't attack in the same turn that it was summoned with Future Fusion.”

 

Zane puts one card in the spell/trap slots and says, with a dark smile on his lips, “Now, who said that I was done? I play my Overload Fusion! This card allows me to summon a Dark Machine-type fusion monster as long as I remove the needed Fusion Material monsters from my field and graveyard! So, I remove my three Cyber Dragons from play!” Soon after, Zane's three monster cards come out of his graveyard, Zane puts them in his coat pocket and out of play, he puts a fusion monster card from his fusion deck on his duel disk, and yells out, darkly, “Now, fool, meet Chimeratech Overdragon!” Soon after, Chimeratech Overdragon (2400/2400) comes to the field in attack mode. Zane says, with a sick smile on his lips, “Chimeratech Overdragon's attack and defense points are equal to the number of machine monsters that I used to summon it times eight hundred points, so, since I ditched my three Cyber Dragons, he has twenty-four hundred attack and defense points! Plus, for every card used in the fusion, he can attack once and since I've ditched three monsters, he can attack three times!”

 

Malachite yells out, shocked, “What?!”

 

Zane yells out, darkly, “Overdragon, show this chump what I mean! Attack!” Chimeratech Overdragon attacks Exodios three times in a row causing Malachite to lose 400 life-points for every attack, which totals 1200 life-points, and Malachite gets shocked by the shackles causing him to winch in pain, but he doesn't seem really hurt. Zane says, with a dark smile on his lips, “I've got to say that you Negaverse losers are a lot tougher than those white dorks I've been fighting lately. This might be fun after all.”

 

Malachite says, with annoyed tone, “We will see how `fun' this is for you when I win and take your energy.”

 

Zane tells Malachite, while putting two cards in the spell/trap slots, “Don't count on it, dweeb! I end my turn!”

 

Current Score:

Zane: 4000

Malachite: 2800

 

Malachite draws one card from his deck and yells out, “Your last, boy! Now, my Exodios attacks your Overdragon!”

 

Everyone is shocked by this move and Sailor Uranus says, plainly, “Has he lost it? Zane's dragon is stronger than his monster!”

 

Malachite discards Right Arm of the Forbidden One (200/300) to the graveyard and he says, with an evil sly smile, “Not for long! You see, every time that Exodios attacks, I have to send a monster from my hand or my deck directly to the grave!”

 

Bastion calls out, stunned, “And since his Exodios gains one thousand attack points for every monster in his grave, it is stronger than Zane's dragon now!”

 

Malachite says, with an evil sly smile, “Exactly, human. Now, he has three thousand attack points!” Exodios' stats rise from 2000/0 to 3000/0 and its might fist slams into Zane's dragon, destroying it, and costing Zane 600 life-points causing him to get shocked by the shackles, but he doesn't even winch in shock.

 

Zane says, with a sick smile on his lips and darkly, “Ha! Do you really believe that someone like me would get crushed so easily?”

 

Malachite says, with an evil sly smile, “Well, you've drove into the darkness on your own in the Underground duels. Well, I must say that I'm impressed with your own `toughness' human, but remember, since I have three Exodia pieces in the grave, there are only two more to go!”

 

Zane says, with a dark annoyed tone, “Just make your move already! I have a duel to win!”

 

Malachite puts one card in the spell/trap slots and he says, with an evil smile, “I'll end my turn with this!”

 

Current Score:

Zane: 3400

Malachite: 2800

 

Zane pushes a button on his duel disk and calls out, “I play my trap! Solemn Wishes!” Zane's face-down card is revealed to be the Solemn Wishes trap card and Zane says, with a dark tone, “Thanks to this, every time that I draw a card, I get five hundred more life-points!”

 

Malachite says, with an evil sly grin, “It won't matter when unleash the power of Exodia.”

 

Zane draws one card, his life-points increase by 500, and he yells out, “If you can!” Zane puts one card in the spell/trap slots and yells out, “Now, I play my Pot of Greed and draw two more cards from my deck!” Zane then draws two more cards from his deck, looks at his cards, and he thinks in his mind, darkly, “Perfect! Just what I needed to crush this fool! His pieces of Exodia might be safe and invincible, but individually, they are perfect prey for my cards!” Zane yells out, darkly, “End Dragon, attack his Exodios right now! Super Strident Blaze!” Cyber End Dragon launches an energy beam from all three of its mouths right at Exodios.

 

Malachite pushes a button on his duel disk and calls out, seriously, “Wrong! I play my trap card! It is known as Seal Protection Wall!” Malachite's face-down card is revealed to be a Continuous trap card with a picture of one of Exodia's hands blocking an attack from a monster! Malachite then says, with an evil sly grin, “Sorry, Hell Kaiser, but thanks to this card, as long as Exodios is on the field and this trap remains in play, I can negate your attack and end the Battle Phase!” Just then the door opens enough to allow a hologram of one of Exodia's arms to come out, get in front of Exodios, and negates Cyber End Dragon's attack.

 

Zane puts one card in the spell/trap slots and says, “I'll end my turn!”

 

Malachite draws one card from his deck and he says, with an evil sly torn, “How sad!” Malachite puts the card in the spell/trap slot and he says, seriously, “Now, I play Graceful Charity! I draw three cards from my deck and discard two more from my hand!” Malachite draws three more cards, discards Right Leg of the Forbidden One (200/300) and Exodia Necross (1800/0) to the graveyard, and he says, evilly, “Since I discards one more piece of Exodia and my Exodia Necross to the grave, my Exodios gains two thousand more attack points!” Exodios' stats rise from 3000/0 to 5000/0, Malachite discards his Marauding Captain (1200/800) to the graveyard, and he calls out, with an evil smile, “Next, I'll discard my Captain to allow my might creature to attack and gain one thousand points while I'm at it!” Exodios' stats rise from 5000/0 to 6000/0, Exodios attacks Cyber End Dragon, crushing it, and Zane loses 2000 life-points in this attack causing him to be shocked by the shackles, but he doesn't call out a bit from the shock just give a look of annoyance. Malachite says, with an evil smile, “I'll end my turn! You are finished Hell Kaiser! With my monster's strength at such a high power and only one Exodia card to go, you are done for! There is nothing you can do to stop me!”

 

Current Score:

Zane: 2400

Malachite: 2800

 

However, Zane gives a sick smile on his lips, gives a dark giggle, and then goes out into full out dark laughter confusing practically everyone.

 

Sailor Jupiter yells out, perplexed, “What's up with him?”

 

Kuwabara says, with an amazed tone, “He's totally lost it!”

 

Yusuke says, with a serious tone, “I don't think so guys.”

 

Sailor Star asks Yusuke, perplexed, “What do you mean? He has really gone insane since he is about to lose.”

 

Jaden says, with a confident tone, “I don't think that Zane is about to lose.”

 

Everyone looks at Jaden and Bastion asks Jaden, “How do you suppose that Jaden? That monster has six thousand attack points and just one more piece of Exodia in the grave and he wins the duel. The odds are against him!”

 

Jaden tells Bastion, with a sly smile, “Just call it a feeling Bastion.”

 

Malachite asks Zane, with a dark sly smile, “Do you think that defeat is funny, Zane?”

 

Zane replies, with a sly tone, “No. What's funny is that you think that you are going to win when I'm about to win this duel right now!”

 

Everyone gasps in shock and Sailor Venus asks, perplexed, “How is he going do that?!”

 

Zane draws one card from his deck, his life-point increase by 500, thanks to Solemn Wishes, and Malachite says, with an evil sly grin, “The shadow of defeat must be getting to you! You must be going insane!”

 

Zane pushes a button on his duel disk and calls out, darkly, “Do you think that I'm bluffing?! Then you are the fool!” Zane puts one card on his duel disk and yells out, “Now, I summon my La Jinn the Mystical Genie of the Lamp in attack mode!” Soon after, La Jinn the Mystical Genie of the Lamp (1800/1000) in attack mode. Zane then calls out, darkly, “And this is why you are a loser, dork! Open face-down card: Soul Demolition!” Zane's face-down card is revealed to be the Soul Demolition Continuous trap card.

 

Malachite gasps out in shock and yells out, horrified, “Not that card!”

 

Bastion calls out, amazed, “Brilliant! With that card, he can remove up to five monsters from his opponent's graveyard from play every turn at a cost of five hundred life-points per card! With that card, he can remove the Exodia pieces from Malachite's graveyard and make him unable to assemble them in his hand or in the graveyard!”

 

Zane yells out, with a dark serious tone, “You must know what is going to happen next, don't you? If you need a clue, dork, here it is! I give twenty-five hundred of my life-points to destroy the four pieces of Exodia in your graveyard and your Captain from play!” The five cards come out of Malachite's graveyard, he growls as he removes them from play, and Zane gives a sick smile as he is shocked by the shackles while he loses 2500 life-points. Zane then says, with a sick smile on his lips, “Now, you all might monster loses five thousand attack points!” Exodios' stats decrease from 6000/0 to 1000/0 and Zane says, with a sick smile, “However, you get to remove monsters from my graveyard, too!”

 

Malachite thinks in his mind, “I can't risk the life-points!” Malachite says, seriously, “I don't need to remove cards from your graveyard because the monsters there can't be used by you, again!”

 

Zane puts one card in the spell/trap slots and he states, seriously, “You want to bet on that? I play Card of Sanctity! This card forces both of us to draw until we have six cards in our hands!” Zane and Malachite draw until they have six cards in our hands, Zane pushes a button on his duel disk, and calls out, “Now, I reveal my trap! Rebirth Judgment!” Zane's final face-down card is revealed to be Rebirth Judgment Continuous trap card and Zane exclaims, darkly, “Now, all of the monsters in our graveyard become the type that I choose! And I choose for them to become dragons!” Zane then puts one card in the spell/trap slots and calls out, “Then I play my Polymerization spell card!” Zane discards his Cyber Dark Horn (800/800), Cyber Dark Edge (800/800), and Cyber Dark Keel (800/800) to the graveyard, he puts one fusion monster card from his fusion deck, and he yells out, seriously, “Now, I fuse my Cyber Dark Horn, my Edge, and my Keel to create my ultimate monster!” Soon after, the three monsters appear on the field and go into a fusion vortex! Zane yells out, darkly, “Meet the monster of your demise! Cyber Dark Dragon!” Out of the fusion vortex, Cyber Dark Dragon (1000/1000) appears on the field in attack mode. Zane then says, with his sick smile, “Now, I can equip any dragon monster from our graveyard to my Dark Dragon and since all of our monsters are now dragon, I choose my Cyber End Dragon!” Soon after, Cyber End Dragon reappears on the field, Cyber Dark Dragon captures it in its tentacles, puts IV wires into its middle head, and Cyber Dark Dragon's stats rise from 1000/1000 to 5000/1000!

 

Shippo hides behind Sailor Star's right leg and he says, “For something that's not real, it is pretty scary!”

 

Inuyasha tells Shippo, rolling his eyes, “Oh, please! You've seen scarier things than this Shippo!”

 

Zane then says, with a sick smile across his lips, “By the way, my dragon has another special effect. It gets one hundred attack points for every card in my graveyard! And since I've got nine cards, Dark Dragon gains nine hundred more attack points!” Cyber Dark Dragon's stats rise from 5000/1000 to 5900/1000!

 

Malachite says, seriously, “As long as I have my trap, you can't attack me!”

 

Zane puts one card in the spell/trap slots and calls out, darkly and seriously, “Well, I have to do something about that, won't I? I play Mystical Space Typhoon! This card destroys one spell or trap card on the field and guess what it is in its path, Malachite?!”

 

Malachite yells out, shocked, “Oh no!” Just then a huge wind destroys Malachite's Seal Protection Wall Continuous trap card.

 

Zane then says, with a dark serious tone, “And with another card in my grave, Dark Dragon's power grows even more!” Cyber Dark Dragon's stats rise from 5900/1000 to 6000/1000! Zane says, with a sick smile on his lips, “Well, I guess we found out who's deck is more powerful, eh, Malachite? If you are still confused, you let give an answer! Cyber Dark Dragon, attack that peon's Exodios and end this! Hellfire Roar!” Cyber Dark Dragon roars out with a deep demonic roar that slams into Exodios, slamming it with terrific force, and through it isn't destroy, Malachite yelps out from the shockwave as he is shocked by the shackles as he loses 5000 life-points causing him to lose the duel immediately.

 

Final Score:

Zane: 400

Malachite: 0

 

The strength of Dark Dragon's attack sends Malachite flying right into the ground on his bottom, landing with a hard `thud', and soon after, the final holograms fade off the field with the duel's end.

 

Sailor Uranus says, amazed, “I can't believe it.”

 

Tuxedo Mask says, also pretty amazed, “He won.”

 

The two students are then released from their restraints, they fall to the ground on their stomachs, and Sailor Earth tells Sailor Saturn, “Sailor Saturn!”

 

Sailor Saturn nods her head and says, “Right!” Sailor Earth and Sailor Saturn quickly goes to the unconscious Academy students while Zane takes off the shackles from his neck and arms and stretches his neck, putting them back in the suitcase.

 

Sailor Galaxy asks Zane, “Are you all right, Zane?”

 

Zane replies, darkly, “It would take more than this loser to defeat me.”

 

Zane starts to walk away and Malachite yells out, seriously, “Wait!”

 

Zane turns to see Malachite with the shackles on the ground in front of him and Zane asks, in a dark annoyed tone, “What do you want now?”

 

Malachite tells Zane, in a serious tone, “I don't get why you stay with them. You are ruthless, relentless, and without mercy. You could be one of the most powerful duelists that there ever was. The Negaverse could appreciate that ruthlessness that you have and you could get everything that I desire.”

 

Zane scoffs and replies, darkly, “You know that Shroud told me that same thing and by that time, I had already gotten what I desired and I got rid of him from my life! I told you before all I care about are victory and I prefer to be on a winning team and not a bunch of losers like you! Life is cruel and harsh and you have to be that way to survive in it and in Duel Monsters! I've gained all the power that I need and besides, winners aren't decided by how much power that you have! It's how you use it! You and your pathetic Negaverse could have all the power in the world . . . no, in the universe and it wouldn't change the fact that you are and you will always be losers! So, you can take your offer and stuff it!”

 

Kuwabara says, amazed, “Ouch. Harsh.”

 

Kurama says, with a plain and logical tone, “Yes. Ruthless philosophy, indeed.”

 

Malachite yells out, angrily, “You will pay for that insult, human!”

 

Zane replies, rolling his eyes and darkly, “I doubt it! Get lost!” Malachite then gives a look of anger and rage as he teleports away while Zane goes over to the shackles that Malachite left, retrieved them, and put them along with the ones that he used back in the box.

 

Valkyrie Sailor Moon asks Sailor Earth, “How are they?”

 

Sailor Earth replies, with a plain tone, “They are drained of energy, but they will be all right with some rest.”

 

Sailor Uranus says, with a whisper, “Personally, I thought that Zane Truesdale would be tempted by the offer of power, but he wasn't even lured in the least.”

 

Yeshua replies, logically and plainly, “Zane has all of the power that he desires with the power of the Underworld deck and like he said, he only graves victory, not power, glory, or anything else. Plus, even through he has greatly embraced the darkness, he knows that power is useless unless you have the ability to harness it correctly, through in a corrupted manner. Plus, there is something else.”

 

Sailor Neptune asks Yeshua, in a whisper, “What do you mean `something else'?”

 

Yeshua points to Zane and he says, logically, “Actually, I should say `someone else'?” The two Outer Sailor Scouts look to see Sailor Galaxy going over to help and helps him by putting the box with the shackles in her sub-space pocket.

 

Sailor Neptune whispers to Yeshua, with a sly smile, “I see.”

 

Valkyrie Sailor Moon says, seriously, “Let's go check on Molly and Blair.”

 

Jaden nods his head and says, “Good idea, sis.” Not needing another word, the group headed off into the distance while Sailor Jupiter carries the unconscious female Obelisk Blue student with Tyranno carrying the unconscious male Ra Yellow student.

 

(Within Queen Beryl's base in Duel Academy; A short time soon after)

 

Back within Queen Beryl's base, we find Malachite returning to the base where Jadeite and Zoisite along with Queen Beryl on her black throne is waiting for him.

 

Queen Beryl says, plainly, “I see that you have returned.”

 

Malachite tells Queen Beryl, nervously, “My queen, I can explain . . .”

 

Queen Beryl yells out, angrily, “Silence! You have failed and that's all there is to it, Malachite! It was bad enough that Jadeite and Zoisite were defeated by Solaris Prince and his beloved, the Universe Princess, but you were defeated a by a mere Earthling!”

 

Malachite tells Queen Beryl, nervously, “My queen, he wasn't any ordinary Earthling! He had the powers of a Forbidden deck, the Underworld deck, which he mastered, and he is more ruthless and relentless than most humans.”

 

Queen Beryl tells Malachite, “You do have a point, Malachite. And I do sense familiarity with him, but don't expect him to come to our side.”

 

Malachite tells Queen Beryl, curiously, “Why not, my queen?”

 

Queen Beryl tells Malachite, “I sense that he holds a heritage from the Silver Millennium. I believe that he is the dark warrior known as the `Shadow Prince'.”

 

Malachite yells out, shocked, “The beloved of the Galaxy Princess?! He is more deadly than those pathetic sailor runts and that princess, even with her new attitude!”

 

Queen Beryl tells Malachite, with a serious tone, “Yes. Even through he embraced the shadows and darkness in the Silver Millennium, he was in any way part of the negative forces of universe. He just `darker' than those heroes and heroines bound by honor and whatnot, which he was once was, until an event turned him in a ruthless warrior that desires victory against his enemy at all costs. However, he never joined the negative force and he found love in the arms of the Galaxy Princess, through it was he who seduced her in his own way. If Zane Truesdale regains his powers, he will become a major threat to us. We managed to kill him in the Silver Millennium, but he destroyed many of our best warriors with ruthless and deadly effectiveness.” Queen Beryl then gets an enraged look and it was he who gave me one of the several scars that damaged by beautiful body that never healed!”

 

Jadeite tells Queen Beryl, with a serious tone, “Queen Beryl, you can be assured that the `Shadow Prince' will never regain his former glory and power!”

 

Queen Beryl says, with an evil angered sneer, “You had better not or you will pay dearly, Jadeite. This failure can not and will not be tolerated for any reasons!” The three generals winch in surprise, not seeing Queen Beryl so serious and angry at anyone expect for the Moon Princess and her beloved, Prince Endymon, and they believe that this `mission' to make sure Zane Truesdale never regains his hidden powers is really important for more reasons than one . . .

 

(Within the Slifer Red dorm; Sometime later)

 

Back within Chazz's redesigned room within the Slifer Red dorm, we find the unconscious Molly Baker and Blair Flannigan lying on two mattresses in the living room of the dorm with all of our heroes and heroines surrounding the two of them along with Nephrite.

 

Serena asks Rini and the Sailor Quartet, who are in the civilian forms, “How are they?”

 

Rini tells Serena, with a smile, “Molly and Blair are just fine. They are alive and breathing, but they need to be healed the same.”

 

CereCere says, with a smile, “Nephrite didn't try anything, if not, he tried his best to be helpful.”

 

PallaPalla says, with a smile, “PallaPalla saw him get the mattresses for them.”

 

Alexis tells Nephrite, “Thank you for your help.”

 

Nephrite bows and replies, “I hope that this can show that I'm more trustworthy and I wish to start over again.”

 

Rei says, with a serious tone, “I still don't trust you, but I'm sure that I can give you the benefit of the doubt for now.”

 

Nephrite shrugs his shoulders and says, “It's a start anyway.”

 

Serena walks down towards Molly's unconscious form and she tells Nephrite, “Nephrite, I feel that you do want to change and you've repented for what happened between you and us. In fact, I already believe you, but the thing is . . . I can't take any chances anymore.”

 

Nephrite asks Serena, “What do you mean by that Princess Serenity?”

 

Serena tells Nephrite, with a sigh and crosses her arms across her chest, “I've learned some harsh lessons and I let my desire for wanting a peaceful and `normal' existence let my guard down against a new evil that was starting. I know that the other won't blame for feeling that way, but after what happened, I'm not going to let my guard down. Personally, I feel if I do, I'll lose everything like I nearly did to that alien freak of nature.” Serena tells Nephrite, with a plain and kind tone, “I'm sorry, Nephrite. This might not be to your satisfaction, but until Queen Beryl and the Negaverse is defeated, you are to be kept under watch at all times and your activities monitored. You are not our prisoner, but I can't take anymore risks, not in this situation.”

 

Nephrite tells Serena, in a plain tone, “I see, princess. I understand how you feel since I have knowledge of what has happened between you, your brother, and the Society of Light namely its `leader', the Light of Destruction possessing Sartorius' body.”

 

Serena nods her head and says, “Thank you for understanding.” Many of the others, especially her friends and beloved, are a bit amazed and worried about our Moon Princess from her `speech'.

 

Galaxia whispers to Trista, “It seems like your princess has a long ways to go before she can fully heal from emotional pain that the Light of Destruction put in her heart.”

 

Trista nods her head and says, in a whisper and a slight solemn tone, “Yes. Our princess went through a great emotional and mental trauma and `wounds' like that tend to take much time to mend if they do at all.”

 

Hikari asks Yukina, “Yukina, could you . . .?”

 

Yukina interrupts by nodding her head and replying, “Of course, Hikari.” Immediately, Yukina goes over to the prone unconscious form of Molly Baker and uses her healing powers on her. When she is done, Yukina goes off to Blair and use her healing powers on her while Molly gives a groan as she slowly wakes up and goes to a sitting position on the mattress.

 

While Yukina uses her healing powers on Blair, Molly blinks a few times and asks, plainly, “What . . . What happened?”

 

Serena asks, curiously, “Molly?”

 

Molly looks directly at Serena and she asks her, “Serena, what's going on? Where am I?”

 

Serena says, with a kind smile on her lips, “You're in the Slifer Red dorm.”

 

Molly asks, perplexed, “Slifer Red dorm? How did I get here?” Molly then looks over herself, yelps, and exclaims, stunned, “What in the world am I doing in these ridiculous white clothes?!”

 

Just then Blair's voice calls out, “That's the question that I would like to ask!” Everyone looks at Blair and she states, perplexed, “How did I get into the Slifer Red dorm? And where did I get these weird white clothes on me?”

 

Syrus asks Blair, “What's the last thing that you, two, remember?”

 

Molly replies, “I found myself with Kagome's friends in some weird room with this weirdo called Sartorius and he forced all of us to duel him. He crushed Kagome's friends, Eri, Ayumi, and Yuka, with these weird Arcana Force monsters and then turned my own Guardian Angel Joan on me and then . . .”

 

Ami asks Molly, “Everything is a blank, correct?”

 

Molly nods her head and replies, “Yeah.”

 

Blair says, stunned, “I was challenged by that same weirdo and his wacky monsters! When he defeated me, everything got cold and went pitch white. I don't remember anything after that.”

 

Molly asks, perplexed, “What is going on here?”

 

Mina replies, with a kind smile, “It's a long story, Molly.”

 

Serena says, with a kind smile, “We are just glad that you are okay, Molly.” Serena sheds a few tears of happiness from her eyes and quickly embraces her friend.

 

Molly asks, confused, “Serena, what's wrong?”

 

Serena whispers into Molly's right ear and she says, “Molly, I know that you know my secret. I know that you know that I'm . . . you know.” Molly gives a silent gasp, but Serena makes a motion to stay silent. Serena whispers to Molly, “We will talk later along with an `old friend' of yours.” Serena motions Molly into the direction of Nephrite and she gasps when she sees him.

 

Molly thinks in her mind, confused and surprised, “Nephrite?! But how?!”

 

Jaden and Alexis go over to Blair, Blair lowers her head, knowing about those two being together, and Alexis kneels down and tells Blair, “Blair, we need to talk. We know that you know that Jaden and I are an `item'.”

 

Blair gasps and exclaims, “How do you know that?”

 

Jaden tells Blair, with a kind smile, “We'll talk about soon enough, Blair.”

 

Alexis tells Blair, with a kind smile, “Jay and I are just glad that you are okay, Blair.” Blair gives a perplexed look while the other heroes and heroines look at each other with smiles on their faces, expect for Chazz, Yeshua, Zane, and Hiei of course.

 

(Elsewhere on Academy Island; on the meanwhile)

 

On the cliffs on the volcano overlooking the facilities of Duel Academy, we find several shadows watching the scenery of Academy Island with some sounds of dueling in the GX tournament going on below.

 

One of the shadows, a humanoid figure, says, with an evil sly tone, “So, that's where Yusuke, his sister, and his friends, including that damned fox, Kurama, is right now, huh? Perfect. Kurama thought he could use one of his damn plants to seal me away for all time in a dream, but I'm back and he will pay for that.”

 

Another of the shadows, another humanoid figure, says, with an evil tone, “Whatever. You can keep that other damned hanyous and their friends to yourself. However, we are looking for one certain half-breed and that priestess that dog travels around with. The two of them made fools out of us and they will pay.”

 

The third of the shadows, another humanoid figure through not with a human-like head, tells the second `shadow', “Indeed, brother Hiten. That rotten Inuyasha and his damn woman made us into fool, but now, reborn in the maiden's own time, we can extract our revenge on that half-demon and his maiden.” Soon enough, the three of them quickly made their way down towards Duel Academy with the first figure leaping down the rocks by extending his fingers like putty or rubber bands, the second figure floating down with flaming wheels attached to his shoes, and the third one, the most inhuman looking one, rides down what looks like a good sized storm cloud.

 

(A short time soon after; In front of Duel Academy's harbor)

 

Now, we are within Duel Academy's harbor where we find Serena standing by the tower and looking out into the blue sky with Molly, Blair, Jaden, and Alexis nearby with the other heroes and heroines filling out into the harbor as they watched the five of them. Molly and Blair are wearing their original clothes, again, thanks to help from Botan. They have been told what was happening and revealed everything about themselves and their friends, Sailor Scouts, Spirit Detectives, and Kagome and her friends, and I've said before and I will say it again, being impressed is a major understatement.

 

Molly says, amazed, “Wow! Serena, so, you are actually a princess?!”

 

Serena replies, with a smile and plain tone, “Actually, I'm the reincarnation of princess from the moon from around to fewer than five millennia. Back then I was Princess Serenity of the Moon Kingdom, daughter of Queen Diana Serenity, ruler of the moon kingdom during a time known as Silver Millennium. Darien was my `lover' Prince Endymon of Earth and the girls are my guardians, each a princess from their own kingdoms on their home planets of Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto. Trista has been guarding the Time Gates even after the Silver Millennium was long gone, she isn't reincarnated, and through I won't say how old she really is, let's just say that she is older than she looks. The Moon Kingdom was allied with the other planets, minus Earth, in an alliance known as the Silver Alliance with my mother as the Praetorian, the head, of the Silver Alliance. As the next in line for the throne of the Moon Kingdom, the princesses of the other planets are duty bound to serve of my guardians. Darien, as Prince Endymon, and I fell in love and became betrothed. However, Queen Beryl and the Negaverse came and destroy the Silver Millennium and all of us with it. My mother sacrificed her life using the full power of the Silver Crystal to seal the Negaverse away and send all of us, including my court, Darien, and myself, to this time in order to reborn as who we are now.”

 

Blair says, amazed, “I can't believe that Jaden-chan is the brother to Sailor Moon to herself! One of the most famous super-heroines in all of Tokyo!”

 

Jaden tells Blair, “Personally, Blair, I was surprised to find out, but I'm Serena's brother back in the Silver Millennium.”

 

Blair says, with a smile, “Well, I always knew that you were a prince, Jaden-chan.”

 

Syrus tells Blair, with a smile, “Sorry, Blair, Jaden is already taken.”

 

Yusuke says, with a sly smile, “He was already taken for five millennia or so.”

 

Blair lowers her head and she says, with a sigh and solemn tone, “I know. And I'm so sorry for what I said before. I can't believe that I did those horrible things.”

 

Alexis tells Blair, with a kind smile, “Blair, I know how you feel. I was brainwashed by that freak, too. I did the most horrible things to Jaden and my friends and it's so hard to keep those images. I helped that alien ass brainwash the Girls side of my dorm among other horrible things including aiding in the kidnapping of Syrus and Hassleberry. I felt like the worst person on the whole of the planet about what I became: A cold and heartless monster. However, I knew it was that freak's fault and I knew that I had to fight back to help my friends and get some payback for what he did to me as well as the pain that he inflected on my friends and the boy that I love.”

 

Blair says, with a sigh, “I guess that you and Jaden really do care about each other.”

 

Jaden tells Blair, “Alexis and I might two of the top students in the school and we have been boyfriend and girlfriend back in the past, but we love each other for a lot more than that. It's kind of hard to explain.”

 

Chazz tells Jaden, with his usual snobbish tone, “With you, Slacker, it would take a miracle for you to explain love. Even that sister of yours knows better in that subject.”

 

Rei, Yusuke, Keiko, Kagome, and Hikari yell out in unison, annoyed tones in their voice, “CLAM IT, PRINCETON!!!” Chazz winches in fear with five very powerful people staring down at him with threatening glares and he knows not to get them angry.

 

Alexis tells Blair, with a kind smile, “Jay and I do truly love each other and Jaden gave it his all to save me from that brainwashing freak and his Society. I would give anything and everything to protect and keep him safe and I know that Jay would do the same thing me.”

 

Jaden replies, with a loving smile to Alexis, “In a heartbeat, Lex.”

 

Blair says, with a plain tone, “Well, a girl like me knows when she is beat.”

 

Rini tells Blair, going over to her and with a kind smile, “Don't worry, Blair. You will find that special someone some day.”

 

Blair tells Rini, with a warm smile, “Thanks, Rini.”

 

Molly tells Serena, solemnly, “Serena, I just don't know what to say. I felt that you were different when I first arrived at Duel Academy, but I never knew that you went through such a horrible experience.”

 

Serena takes a deep breath and tells Molly, in a plain tone, “Life is full of surprises, Molly. Through this one, I wish I never did happen. That brainwashing freak nearly took everyone I care about, bulled others into his damn Society, and nearly destroyed my world from the inside out. For the first time in my life, I actually hated someone and I did nearly kill Sartorius in cold blood. After that I learned that it was the Light of Destruction, one of the oldest evil forces to exist in the universe, my hate turned from Sartorius to the Light of Destruction, but it was the anger, rage, and hate that nearly destroyed who I was. My mother, my `first mom', managed to break through the cloud of anger and rage that blinded my eyes and help me overcome the anger, rage, and hate within my heart and start all over again.”

 

Molly asks Serena, curiously and concerned, “Are you going to be okay?”

 

At first, Serena doesn't answer, lets a warm wind pass by, lifting her pigtails up a little, and she replies, with a deep sigh and solemn tone in her voice, “I can't really answer that one, Molly. The Light of Destruction, through Sartorius, unleashed something inside of me. He causes the release of a great anger and rage that nearly destroyed me from within and nearly took the lives of the people that I cared about and yeah, I overcome that anger, rage, and hate, but it isn't gone from within my heart. It is just so hard to control my own emotions and when someone `pushes my buttons', bam! I go off like a rifle and Crowler and Bastion got that the hard way.”

 

Bastion rubs his left arm and he says, plainly, “Yes, I kind of remember that. That's why I remember not to anger you.”

 

Serena closes his eyes and tells Molly, in a plain and serious tone, “I'm not the same Serena that you know, Molly. And I might never be again because that brainwashing jerk forced me to grow up and change, through some of the changes Luna says I can do without.”

 

Luna tells Serena, plainly, “No arguments for me, Serena.”

 

Serena says, with a droll tone, “Thanks a lot, Luna.”

 

Luna says, seriously, “I'm just saying, Serena. I'm just still worried about you, a lot.”

 

Serena nods her head and replies, “I know.” Serena then looks up into the sky and she says, plainly, “Through I don't think that it was that rotten Light of Destruction that unleashed this great anger and rage within me. A part of me tells me that I've always had this hidden deep inside of me.”

 

Ami asks Serena, “What makes you say that?”

 

Serena tells Ami, “Ami, I've seen the man that I love brainwashed two times before this, all of you getting killed about twice in row, Rini's friend and now, our fellow scout, possessed by an evil demon, my own guardians fighting me and against each other, my own future daughter getting brainwashed, and a lot of seeing others pain and suffering that's burned into my memory. Maybe all of those just built up this great `darkness' within me because like any other human or humanoid, I've got my own `dark side' despite how pure and innocent I was.” Serena then lowers her head and says, plainly, “And Sartorius and the Light of Destruction was the last straw and the `spark' that was needed to finally unleash this great `darkness' hidden inside of me that even I didn't know about. And maybe it was because of that great `darkness' that I had such an easier time of embracing the powers of the Darkness of Salvation.”

 

Kurama says, in a plain and logical tone, “I hate to anger any of you, especially those closest to Serena, but she does bring up a valid point about herself. Very few people can go through traumatic experiences like that and never having any `scars' from the experience, but fewer still go through those types of experiences and not let those experiences conquer them. Usually terrible experiences like that usually change a regular girl, but Serena, until this time at Duel Academy, stayed pretty much the same person. She overcame those experiences without letting them rule her, so, it does bring into question her valid point.”

 

Trista nods her head and says, with a plain and serious tone, “You do have a point, Kurama. Her anger and rage could be a calumniation of all of the terrible experiences that she went through as Sailor Moon and not just the horrible experience, which can measure to the others, that she has experience now.”

 

Luna goes over to Serena and tells her, “Serena, this is all in the past now. You have to know that all of you are here for you now and we will help overcome your `inner struggle' along with the evils that we have to face right now.”

 

Serena looks at Luna with a warm smile on her lips and she tells her, “Thank you.”

 

Luna tells Serena, with a warm smile, “And you should be proud of yourself. You are indeed growing up. I mean like right now with your `theory' about yourself. You are starting to look at things, including yourself, at a `higher level', as you can say. You are showing more mature attitude about yourself by looking inside by realizing your shortcomings and your strengths in an intelligent manner.”

 

Serena tells Luna, with a warm smile, “Thanks, Luna.”

 

Rei says, with a sly smile and tone, “Well, miracles can happen.”

 

Serena yells out, angrily, “Hey, watch it, Pyro!” Serena turns to go over to her, but she has one of her klutz attacks as she trips and falls on her stomach with a good sized `thud'. Serena says, with a moan, “Oh, man! I thought I had gotten these damned klutz attacks!”

 

Molly says, with a cheerful tone, “Well, Serena, you wouldn't be you without a `klutz attack' at least once in a while!”

 

Serena says, with a droll tone as she gets to a standing position dusting herself off, “Thanks, Molly. I really feel a whole lot better.”

 

Lita tells Serena, with a kind smile and sly tone, “Well, Serena, she does have a point.”

 

Serena yells out, annoyed, “Lita! You are supposed to be on my side, again!” Soon enough, Serena's friends, even Amara, but not Trista, Molly, Jaden, Alexis, Syrus, Atticus, Jasmine, Mindy, Danielle, Shala, Yusuke, Hikari, Keiko, and Kagome gives a few playful laughs at Serena while Darien, Kurama, Kuwabara, and Tyranno gives their own sly grins about it. Serena calls out, annoyed, “Thanks a lot!”

 

Darien goes over to Serena and he tells her, with a loving tone, “That's not why they said that Serena. We care for you who you are. We are glad that you are growing up. We just don't want to change too much. We care for you for who you are.”

 

Serena replies, with a smile, “I know.” Darien then gently embraces Serena and when the two of them look at each other, Serena kisses Darien right on the lips with a passionate kiss for a few minutes. When they release from the kiss, Serena tells Darien, with a loving and sly smile, “Don't worry, I won't change . . . too much anyway.”

 

Jaden tells Serena, with a wide smile, “That's the spirit sis!”

 

Keiko, who is in Yusuke's arms at the moment, says, with a loving smile, “I can stop looking at those two! I think that it is so romantic about love that transcended death and time.”

 

Yusuke tells Keiko, with a loving smile, “Did you forget that those two are the only ones from the Silver Millennium or what?!”

 

Keiko gives a small raspberry from her mouth and she says, with a giggle, “Oops, sorry, Yusuke. Guess I'm getting forgetful in my `old age', huh?”

 

Yusuke tells Keiko, with a sly smile, “Bad, Keiko.”

 

Keiko yells out, in a mock insulted tone, “Hey!” Yusuke, Keiko, and Hikari give a few giggles from their lips about Keiko's `joke'. But just then a lot of huge negative energy auras come from the island where Rei, Amara, Yusuke, Hikari, Kuwabara, Kurama, Hiei, Inuyasha, Kagome, Atem, and Serena sense it. Their expressions immediately become serious and turn inwards towards the island.

 

Lita asks Rei, “What's wrong, Rei?”

 

Rei tells Lita, seriously, “There are some powerful negative forces on the island! They just came out of nowhere!”

 

Hikari says, with a serious tone, “I remember that weird energy! It came from that Zorc character! I know it!”

 

Atem says, seriously, “Hikari is correct! He's back on the island!”

 

Tristan says, with a snort, “Up to more no good I'll bet!”

 

Trista says, with a plain and logical tone, “Most likely, he is here for the other five Millennium Items.”

 

Yeshua tells Trista, “That's a logical conclusion, Trista.”

 

Yugi says, seriously, “Most likely, this attack is to draw the rest of us and the five other items out.”

 

Joey says, seriously, “But Yug', we can't just sit here and do nothing! We've got to show that freak whose boss!”

 

Tea says, seriously, “Yeah!”

 

Atem says, seriously, “But you can't! I've got to face Zorc alone!”

 

Jaden tells Atem, “I don't think so, Atem!” When Atem looks at Jaden, he smiles and says, with a wide smile, “I'm supposed to be your successor and you kind of passed down your God cards to me! If you are going to be facing Zorc, you are going to need backup and my friends and I are already used to this kind of thing.”

 

Yugi tells Atem, with a smile, “That's right, Atem! We've been there for you before and we're not going to let you down now!”

 

Joey tells Atem, with a wide grin, “Beside, it was us that gave your name that allowed you to kick that Lord of Darkness' butt last time!”

 

Atem tells his friends, with a giggle, “Yes, you are right.”

 

Yusuke says, with a wide smile, “And if you think that you are getting into a brawl without us, you've got another thing coming, pal!”

 

Jaden says, with a smile, “Same old Yusuke!”

 

Serena tells Molly, with a kind smile, “Molly, you and Blair need to stay behind for this.”

 

Blair yells out, annoyed, “Huh? Why?”

 

Alexis tells Blair, “Because you don't have super-powers like many of us, Blair, and Yugi and his friends have Atem and his remaining shadow powers to protect them. We need for you and Serena's friend to stay safe.”

 

Jaden asks Tyranno, Syrus, Zane, Atticus, Chazz, and Bastion, “Can the rest of you stay behind and watch over them?”

 

Zane says, in a dark plain tone, “I don't do babysitting.”

 

Blair yells out, angrily, “Hey! Who are you calling a baby?!”

 

Tyranno says, with a plain tone, “I think that's a good idea, Sarge. The rest of us wouldn't be much good out there anyway.”

 

Atticus tells his friend and sister, “Yeah. I'm not so good with my new demon powers, yet.”

 

Jaden tells his five friends, “It's not babysitting or anything guys and it isn't you haven't got special powers, we just need a few of us to stay behind just certain dorks try to take advantage of the situation. That Society Dweebs does have a tendency to attack when our backs are turned.”

 

Syrus says, with a dark annoyed tone, “Don't we know it.”

 

Zane says, with a sick smile on his face, “Well, since you put it that way . . .”

 

Yusuke yells out, seriously, “Well, what are we waiting for?! Let's go!” Without another word needed to be said, our heroes and heroines, minus Syrus, Zane, Tyranno, Atticus, Bastion, Chazz, Molly, Blair, and Nephrite, who will also stay behind while being watched by Luna and Atriums, head off towards the source of the negative energy sources.

 

(Sometime soon after; in another area of Academy Island)

 

Within a forest clearing near the lake on Academy Island, we find Yami Bakura and the four Sailor Animamates looking across the lake at the `White Dorm' and the main educational building of Duel Academy with an evil smile on his lips.

 

Yami Bakura says, with an evil smile, “Look at these pathetic mortals and their small and useless lives. I have to admit, the Light of Destruction put them to good use by making them into his soldiers, but that evil force must go. There is only one power that must rule the universe and that's darkness! And when I revive my true form, thanks to the seven Millennium Items, darkness shall rule over all!”

 

Just then a familiar male voice calls out, with a very serious tone, “Don't count on it, Zorc!” Yami Bakura and the Animamates looks to the source of the voice to see Twilight Valkyrie Sailor Moon, Eternal Twilight Sailor Mercury, Eternal Twilight Sailor Venus, Eternal Twilight Sailor Mars, Eternal Twilight Sailor Jupiter, Eternal Twilight Sailor Saturn, Eternal Twilight Sailor Uranus, Eternal Twilight Sailor Neptune, Eternal Sailor Pluto, Eternal Twilight Sailor Mini-Moon and the Sailor Quartet, Sailor Galaxia, Sailor Kaykuu and the Sailor Starlights, Eternal Twilight Solar Sun, Eternal Twilight Sailor Universe, Eternal Twilight Sailor Galaxy, Kurama, Hiei, Eternal Twilight Sailor Star, Inuyasha, Sailor Star's and Inuyasha's friends from the Feudal Era, Eternal Twilight Solar Moon, Eternal Twilight Sailor Sun, Eternal Twilight Sailor Aries, Eternal Twilight Sailor Libra, Eternal Twilight Sailor Leo, Eternal Twilight Sailor Aquarius, Eternal Sailor Earth, Yeshua, Atem, Yugi, Joey, Tea, and Tristan assembled before him.

 

Yami Bakura thinks in his mind, with an evil smile, “Right on time! I knew that those do-gooders would come here the instant that they sensed our evil auras! How typical!”

 

Sailor Sun asks Valkyrie Sailor Moon, “Are those the Sailor Animamates that you told us about?”

 

Valkyrie Sailor Moon says, with a sigh, “Yep. That's them.”

 

Sailor Tin Nyanko says, with an evil sly smile, “Well, if it isn't the Sailor brats? I see that you have brought more of your fellow Sailor wenches to the show.”

 

Sailor Pluto says, with a serious tone, “What are you doing allied yourself with Zorc?”

 

Sailor Iron Mouse says, with a child-like tone, “Simple, silly. He promised us revenge against those who caused our demise when we were fighting you.”

 

Sailor Tin Nyanko says, with a serious tone, “Namely, Galaxia and that Moon brat!”

 

Sailor Venus tells them, “You did know that Galaxia was under the control of Chaos at the time that you were working for her, didn't you?”

 

Sailor Aluminum Siren shouts out, angrily, “We don't care! We want revenge and we want it now!”

 

Sailor Tin Nyanko and the other Animamates show off their new bracelets and Tin Nyanko says, with an evil sly smile, “And thanks to the new Shadow Bracelets that Master Zorc gave us, we will get rid of that witch, Galaxia, and that little bitch, Sailor Moon, once and for all!”

 

Valkyrie Sailor Moon says, seriously, “If you hadn't noticed, Galaxia isn't the only one wearing armor around here.”

 

Sailor Lead Crow says, seriously, “Like we care, our powers can easily get rid of those armors of yours and Galaxia and when we're done, we're taking yours and Galaxia's star seeds as payback for what you did to us!”

 

Sailor Mars yells out, seriously, “Oh, yeah! You will have to deal with us and Sailor Moon isn't the only one stronger than before!”

 

Sailor Jupiter says, seriously, “So, just try it!”

 

Sailor Iron Mouse says, with an evil smile and child-like tone, “All right, you asked for it!”

 

Yami Bakura says, with an evil smile, “You can try, but thanks to my special Shadow Bracelets, the Animamates have far superior powers than with Sailor Galaxia's pathetic bracelets and the ability to tap into the Shadow Realm as well!” Yami Bakura asks Valkyrie Sailor Moon, with an evil smile, “So, little Miss Moon Princess, can you risk it? You do have a good chance to beat them, but I can assure you the result will be the same as when your friends faced Galaxia when she was possessed by Chaos, I promise you that you pathetic mortal!” Yami Bakura gives a menacing evil laughter that puts shivers down our battle hardened heroes' and heroines' spines.

 

Sailor Galaxy says, seriously with a slight nervous expression, “Man! I thought that I've seen it all, but this guy gives me the creeps.”

 

Kurama tells Sailor Galaxy, “Remember, Kari, he isn't human even in that form. He is Zorc the Dark One, an evil demon that created the Shadow Realm many millennia ago and one of the greatest forces of darkness welding evils even known on Earth and in the universe. The Egyptian God Monsters, Obelisk, Slifer, and Ra, have been known to have fallen to him until the Creator of Light defeated him. He is not a force to be underestimated.”

 

Valkyrie Sailor Moon thinks in her mind, seriously, “Kurama's right! That guy doesn't seem like the type to bluff at all and based on what Atem and the others told me, he might be a liar and play mind-games, but when he has the edge, he is known to tell the truth along with he will think will happen to psyche the other person out. I'm not sure he is lying now. What if the Animamates have greater powers than before, thanks to Zorc's evil powers? When the girls and Darien fought Galaxia when Chaos possessed her, they were all killed along with Princess Kaykuu. I can't risk a repeat of what happened! I just can't!” Just then Valkyrie Sailor Moon `senses' something, glances to Sailor Galaxia, who nods her head at some kind of unsaid agreement, and Valkyrie Sailor Moon takes two steps towards her enemy.

 

Sailor Mini-Moon asks, curiously, “Sailor Moon?”

Valkyrie Sailor Moon points to the Sailor Animamates and she says, seriously, “You want me and Galaxia, fine?! But we fight on our terms!”

 

Sailor Galaxia points to the volcano mountain on Academy Island and she says, seriously, “We shall fight near the top of volcano that dominates this island where nowhere is currently and thus, no innocent people will get hurt!”

 

Sailor Tin Nyanko says, seriously, “Whatever!”

 

Sailor Mercury tells Valkyrie Sailor Moon, seriously and worriedly, “Sailor Moon, you and Galaxia can't fight them alone!”

 

Sailor Mars says, seriously, “It's two against one odds up there, Meatball Head!”

 

Sailor Sun tells Valkyrie Sailor Moon, “You and Galaxia might two of the most powerful Sailor Scouts around, but you don't know about the powers that jerk, Zorc, gave him.”

 

Solar Moon tells Valkyrie Sailor Moon, “Lex is right, sis! It's too dangerous!”

 

Valkyrie Sailor Moon says, seriously, “I know what I'm doing!”

 

Sailor Aries tells Valkyrie Sailor Moon, “Well, it doesn't look like it, girlfriend. It looks like you are still pretty much shook up about what happened with that brainwashing alien freak and you are still concerned about all of our safety.”

 

Valkyrie Sailor Moon says, plainly and seriously, “Actually, I do. But it is more than that. You see, I've always been the one to destroy the monsters that enemies sent against me and the others, but it is always because my fellow scouts and Darien weaken them first before I strike the final blow. Even during my first day as Sailor Moon, it was Darien as Tuxedo Mask that weakened that youma, even if only a little, to stop that freak. I'm supposed to be the one of the strongest Sailor Soldiers in the world, rivaling Galaxia, Kari, and Keiko . . . Well, I think it is time that I prove it to everyone else and myself. This time, I want to learn to fight on my own. If I'm going to be a leader of Sailor Scouts, I'm going to have to learn to fight as one by myself.” Valkyrie Sailor Moon turns her head, looks at her friends and family, and she says, with a warm smile on her lips, “I need to show that I can defeat monsters and villains on my own without any help and without any of you weakening them. If I'm going to be a future queen and stay as a leader, I need to do something by myself for once without any of you helping me and I need that to grow stronger in my heart, spirit, and soul as well as my body. Please believe in me.”

 

The other heroes and heroines are amazed by Valkyrie Sailor Moon's speech and Tuxedo Mask tells Valkyrie Sailor Moon, with a nod, “I believe in you, Serena.”

 

Sailor Mini-Moon tells Sailor Moon, with a smile, “So do I, so, don't get your butt kicked out there!”

 

Solar Moon says, with a smile, “Stay safe, sis!”

 

Sailor Pluto tells Valkyrie Sailor Moon, “Princess, I believe that I speak in the others for you to stay safe.”

 

Valkyrie Sailor Moon replies, with a warm smile, “Don't worry, I will. I promise.”

 

Sailor Mars tells Valkyrie Sailor Moon, with a sly smile, “You had better Meatball Head or I will kick your butt myself.”

 

Yami Bakura says, with an evil mocking tone, “How touching. I think that I'm going to cry.”

 

Valkyrie Sailor Moon turns her head to face Yami Bakura and she says, seriously, “You will be when Galaxia and I come back to give you a piece of our minds and our powers!”

 

Sailor Tin Nyanko says, with an evil smile, “Don't count on it, Moon bitch! You won't be coming back at all!”

 

Sailor Galaxia says, seriously, “Enough talk! Let's go!” Valkyrie Sailor Moon and Sailor Galaxia teleport away with the four Sailor Animamates following soon after.

 

Sailor Universe thinks in her mind, “Good luck, Serena.”

 

Sailor Starfighter thinks in her mind, “She is becoming a far cry from the Meatball Head that I met one year ago! Good luck, Sailor Moon! I believe in you!”

 

Tuxedo Mask thinks, seriously and worriedly, “Stay safe, my love. And please come back to me.”

 

Yami Bakura says, with an evil smile, “With them out of the way, I can play with you with the help of one of my friends.”

 

Sailor Galaxy asks, seriously and curiously, “Friend?”

 

Yami Bakura reveals his Diadiankh attached to his left wrist and calls out, with an evil smile, “Allow me to introduce you to my friend, Sailor Galaxy! Come forth, all mighty Diabound!”

 

Atem gasps out in shock and calls out, stunned, “Diabound!” Just then a bright light comes from behind Yami Bakura forcing everyone to cover their eyes and when the light fades away, Diabound, in its final hideous form, appears behind Yami Bakura with a terrifying roar.

 

Sailor Venus and Sailor Libra yelp out in shock and Sailor Libra asks, nervously, “What is that?”

 

Sailor Leo says, seriously, “Big trouble, that's what!”

 

Yeshua says, with a serious and plain tone, “That's Diabound! The mighty Shadow Creature created by the evil spirits of Kul Elna after that were murdered and their bodies and soul were used to created the seven Millennium Items and this creature is so mighty it can go toe-to-toe with the Egyptian God Monsters through not in a straight fight! It has also the ability to absorb the power of the monsters that it vanished and last time I check, it has the abilities of Kaiba's Blue-Eyes White Dragon, the ability to phase through objects from Shadow Ghoul, the power to bend with the shadows to render itself invisible, the power of the Thunder Force from Slifer the Sky Dragon, and plenty more.”

 

Yami Bakura says, with a evil sly smile, “It seems like you remember your history, Yeshua. Good for you and this time around, Diabound won't be beaten by any creature, man or Shadow Creature!” Yami Bakura gives an evil menacing laughs that sends plenty of chills down the spines of our heroes and heroines and can tons of chills down the spines of regular men and women.

 

(Near the active volcano on Academy Island; on the meanwhile)

 

During the time that our heroes and heroines have to face Diabound, we find Valkyrie Sailor Moon, Sailor Galaxia, and the Sailor Animamates teleporting near the edge of the mouth of the volcano with Valkyrie Sailor Moon and Sailor Galaxia facing off against the Animamates.

 

Valkyrie Sailor Moon tells Sailor Galaxia, “Thank you for understanding Galaxia.”

 

Sailor Galaxia nods her head and says, “Yes, I can understand your first need to keep your friends safe for one, but also your need to prove that you can defeat enemies on your own without depending on their `physical' help to get you through the battle. You want to prove that you can fight and defeat enemies without depending on those that you love to weaken them for you or give you the addition power needed to, but you must remember that you are a part of a team and that there is no `I' in it. You taught that to me about you and your Sailor Scouts.”

 

Valkyrie Sailor Moon tells Sailor Galaxia, with a smile, “Thank you, Galaxia. I won't forget.” Valkyrie Sailor Moon then looks at the Sailor Animamates and says, with a serious tone, “But if I want to prove to myself and everyone else that I can be a strong leader and a good future ruler. I need to start doing things on my own, using my own power, and standing my own two legs. I can't depend on my friends and the man I love forever to help win my battles and I feel it is time I picked up my own weight! So, this time I'm going to win without my friends weakening my opponents for me!”

 

Sailor Tin Nyanko says, with a nasty taunting tone, “Ooh, so, the little Moon brat wants to prove that she isn't a pathetic whelp of a Sailor Scout!” Sailor Galaxia and Valkyrie Sailor Moon give a slight snarl at the Animamates.

 

Sailor Iron Mouse says, with a child-like taunting tone, “Ah, did Tin Nyanko hurt your little feelings?”

 

Just then Valkyrie Sailor Moon gives a sly smile and Sailor Lead Crow yells out, perplexed, “Hey, what's that smile about?!”

 

Valkyrie Sailor Moon replies, with a confident tone, “Simple, Lead Crow. Remember my friends and I defeated all of you once before and Chaos, through Sailor Galaxia, easily put you into its service without lifting a finger. If I'm `pathetic', then you, compared to Galaxia and me, must be quite . . . what's that word . . . Oh, yes, totally worthless!”

 

The four Sailor Animamates get enraged looks on their faces and Sailor Tin Nyanko yells out, with an enraged tone, “How dare you say that about us?! We will make you pay for that insult!”

 

Valkyrie Sailor Moon says, with a sly grin and sly tone, “Sticks and stone can break my bones, but you couldn't defeat even if I was tied up and gagged!” Valkyrie Sailor Moon sticks her tongue out at them and the four Animamates give loud growls of anger and rage as black auras surround their bodies with their new `dark bracelets' give off bright glows from the rubies in them.

 

Sailor Galaxia winches, sensing their new dark powers, and thinks, seriously, “Sailor Moon and I might be the two strongest Sailor Soldiers in the universe, but those new `dark bracelets' that Zorc the Dark One has given them has increased their power significantly and it will make this a much harder fight. Enraging them might make things work, as my experience as a Sailor Soldier has taught me. I didn't become one of the greatest Sailor Soldiers by power alone.” Sailor Galaxia then looks at Valkyrie Sailor Moon, sees her confident smile, and then she remembers something causing her to gasp. Sailor Galaxia then gives a sly grin and thinks, with a sly mental grin, “Oh, I see now! Valkyrie Sailor Moon knows from `personal experience' that anger and rage can be a great enemy to one's self, especially in the heat of combat, and turning you into your own worst enemy! I see what she is trying to do! I see that I was right in my assignment that Sailor Moon hasn't only grown stronger in power, but she has become quite crafty.”

 

Valkyrie Sailor Moon thinks in her mind, with a sly smile, “That's right, ladies! Just get really pissed off at us and start battling us wildly! You will wear yourself out and we don't have to be forced to kill you! I know from experience that getting totally enraged at your enemy turns into your own worst enemy! If I wear you out, Galaxia and I won't be forced to kill and when you are weak enough, I can use my healing powers, which are even greater than before, to get rid of those bracelets and heal, so, you won't have to suffer the fate that you did when under Chaos' control when it was inside of Galaxia's body!”

 

Sailor Aluminum Siren shouts out, enraged, “All right, Moon brat, I am sick and tried of you! Time for you and Galaxia to die!” The four Animamates launch four powerful dark beams of energy at the two Sailor Soldiers and they leap into the air, avoiding the explosion.

 

Sailor Tin Nyanko yells out, seriously, “That rotten Moon bitch is mine!”

 

Sailor Lead Crow calls out, with an angered tone, “Not without me, you aren't!”

 

Sailor Tin Nyanko exclaims, with an annoyed tone, “Just don't get in my way!” Tin Nyanko and Lead Crow immediately leap towards Valkyrie Sailor Moon while Iron Mouse and Aluminum Siren move against Sailor Galaxia.

 

Sailor Iron Mouse says, with an evil sly tone and child-like voice, “It's payback time, Galaxia!”

 

Sailor Galaxia declares, seriously, “We shall see!”

 

(Back to the rest of our heroes and heroines; A short time soon after)

 

Returning to the rest of our heroes and heroines, they are facing off against Yami Bakura/Zorc and the hideous Shadow Monster, Diabound, in its final form.

 

Yami Bakura yells out, with an evil sly smile, “Are you afraid yet? You should be because you are facing one of the most powerful creatures alive other than Zorc!”

 

Inuyasha yells out, with a serious tone, “And why should we be afraid of your overgrown snake?! They are many of us and only two of you!”

 

Myoga tells Inuyasha, in a serious tone, “Don't let down your guard, Master Inuyasha! Diabound is one of the infamous creatures of the Shadow Games! His bite is deadly as its bark!”

 

Yami Bakura tells Inuyasha, with an evil smile, “Your little friend is right, half-demon! But don't worry, on my way here, I've met some old `playmates' of yours and the Star Princess'!”

 

Sailor Star asks, seriously, “What do you mean?!”

 

Yami Bakura snaps his fingers and he says, with an evil sly smile, “You are about to find out!” Just then the ground opens up and a whirlwind comes out of the ground. But then the whirlwind fades away to reveal Mistress Centipede, much to Inuyasha's and Sailor Star's shock.

 

Inuyasha yells out, stunned, “Hold on! I already defeated that nasty hug!”

 

Just then a large thunderbolt crushes nearby and a familiar male voice rings out, with an evil sly tone, “Forget about that old bag, half-breed! Worry about what me and my brother are going to do when we fry you!”

 

Shippo yells out, worriedly, “I know that voice!” Everyone looks up into the sky and they see the two Thunder Brother hovering in the sky above them.

 

Sailor Star calls out, stunned, “The Thunder Brothers?!”

 

Sango asks Sailor Star, “You know them, Kagome?”

 

Sailor Star nods her head and says, “Inuyasha and I met them on the day that we met Shippo. The Thunder Brother is the demons that killed Shippo's father and Inuyasha used the Tessaiga to destroy them. This was just before Shippo, Inuyasha, and I met you or Miroku. Mistress Centipede is another demon that Inuyasha defeat before we met you, Miroku, and even Shippo, but that's another story.”

 

Yami Bakura says, with an evil smile, “Isn't this an interesting reunion, but I wouldn't want to leave out the Sun Prince, Galaxy Princess, and their friends.”

 

Solar Sun says, with a snarl, “What do you mean, freak?”

 

Just then an evil male voice calls out, “He means me, Yusuke Urameshi!” Just then seemly out of nowhere, the elder Togero leaps down by Yami Bakura and Diabound.

 

Kurama yells out, stunned, “What?! I already took care of you! You should be still trapped in my trap and in Spirit World!”

 

Elder Togero calls out, with a sly grin, “I was, but thanks to that imbalance of light and darkness, I managed to escape from your trap and come back to get my revenge on you! Now, with new powers, I will take care of you and that rotten nitwit that tried to squash me like a flea.”

 

Kuwabara yells out, angrily, “Just try you overgrown pile of goop!”

 

Yami Bakura calls out, with an evil smile, “Allow me! Diabound, attack them with Illusionary Shockwave!” Diabound then fires beams of yellow mystical energy right at the group of heroes and heroines and they slam all around our heroes and heroines causing them to yell out in shock as the attacks explode around them. The Sailor Quartet move to protect Mini-Moon, Atem goes over to protect Tea, Solar Sun moves in to protect Sailor Universe, and Solar Moon moves in to protect Sailor Sun while Yami Bakura greatly laughs at them in an evil manner as he sees them struggle under Diabound very fierce assault.

 

Sailor Uranus says, in a serious tone, “If we don't do something, we are going get crushed!”

 

Sailor Aries yells out, seriously, “I'm open to suggestions!”

 

Sailor Aquarius calls out, while trying to dodge the attacks, “Mercury and I will try to find a weakness!”

 

Yami Bakura shouts out, with an evil sly grin and strong tone, “Diabound has no weakness and no pier! Allow me to demonstrate!” Yami Bakura yells out, “Give the Moon Prince and Sun Princess a demonstration with Helical Shockwave!” Diabound then launches a powerful attack right at Solar Moon and Sailor Sun.

 

Sailor Galaxy shouts out, in a serious tone, “Jaden, you and Alexis get out of the way!” But the attack is coming in so fast that the two of them didn't have the time, however, before the attack hits, a rainbow beam of energy slams into Diabound's attack and after a short struggle, manages to negate it causing a huge amount of smoke to appear when the attack is negated.

 

Yami Bakura snarls and yells out, angrily, “Who dares to interfere with me?!”

 

Just then a deep masculine voice yells out, “I do, evil one!” Just then out of the smoke and dust, Elemental Hero Neos with his arms crossed in front of his chest appear where the attack was negated.

 

Solar Moon asks, amazed, “Neos! It's you!” Solar Moon then notices his duel disk attached to his left wrist with his Elemental Hero Neos (2500/2000) monster card on it.

Neos tells Solar Moon, “Yes, Jaden! I sensed that you were in danger and immediately came to help! I see that you have a few problems namely with this infamous Shadow Creature! Diabound is well known within Neo-Space!”

 

Yami Bakura says, with a snarl looking at Neos, “So, you are the alien creature that infused the power of your home within the Moon Prince's deck, huh? Well, I can tell you that I'm not impressed. Do you believe that someone like you has the power to stop my Diabound? I think not!”

 

Neos tells Yami Bakura, with a serious tone, “We shall see, Zorc!”

 

Yami Bakura says, with an evil smile, “Well, what do you know?! I'm even known in the four corners of the universe! I'm honored!”

 

Neos tells Yami Bakura, “Don't be, Zorc! I will not allow you to be fully reborn into this world and this universe! You are just as dangerous as the Light of Destruction and your evil darkness must be vanquished!”

 

Yami Bakura shouts out, seriously, “I would like to see you try! Diabound, destroy the Moon Prince's alien friend with Thunder Force!” Diabound launches Slifer the Sky Dragon's attack from its tail right at Neos, but the Neo-Spacian Elemental Hero easily manages to leap out of the way.

 

Solar Moon calls out, strongly, “Oh, yeah! How about this?! Neos, show this ancient creep how we do things Academy Style! Cosmic Crush!”

 

Neos nods his head and replies, “Right.” Neos dives right at Diabound and gives him a powerful karate chop, knocking him to the ground, and Yami Bakura yells out in pain as he clenches his chest as he is hurt as well. Neos tells Yami Bakura, “It seems like that you have forgotten that when your Shadow Creature is injured or destroy, so are you!”

 

Yami Bakura yells out, strongly, “Lucky shot! But your outer space fighting style won't stop the mighty Diabound!” Diabound rises back into the air and doesn't even look damaged at all.

 

Neos tells Solar Moon, in a serious tone, “Unfortunately, he is right. It is going to take more than my power alone to stop this mighty beast!”

 

Sailor Venus says, with a serious tone, “Hey! Did you forget we are here?!”

 

Sailor Jupiter states, seriously, “Yeah! What are we?! Chopped Sushi?!”

 

Kurama tells the Sailor Scouts, motioning to elder Togero and the three Feudal Age demons, “Yes, but don't forget that he also has allies on his side.”

 

Sailor Galaxy tells Kurama, confidently, “Oh, calm down, Kurama! My bro already crushed this freak's younger and more powerful brother and he is without any help this time, so, how hard can he be to defeat?!”

 

Elder Togero shouts out, with an evil sly grin, “Is that what you think?! Well, let me in on something! I've gained new powers! Now, I have to ability to regenerated myself for just one single active cell in my body and in simple terms, girl, you need totally vaporize me in you want to kill me!”

 

Solar Sun powers up his Spirit Gun and he states, with a sly grin, “That can be arranged, pal!”

 

Elder Togero yells out, with an evil sly grin, “Don't count on it, boy! I've got some new tricks up my sleeve! Like this!” Elder Togero then turns into a huge pile of what looks like silly putty with just his head showing.

 

Sailor Mars yells out, shocked, “Oh, gross! What in the hell is he doing?!”

 

Sailor Libra says, worriedly, “Something tells me that I don't want to find out.”

 

Sailor Mercury says, seriously after scanning him, “Watch out, everyone! He can make his body into any form that he wants! His molecular structure is so malleable that he can form himself into any shape that he chooses!”

 

Elder Togero says, with an evil sly smile, “The little lady is right! Now, watch!” Just then multiple long tentacles come from the bobby mass that Elder Togero that wrap up Sailor Galaxy, Sailor Libra, and Sango's right leg causing them to scream out as they are trapped and lifted into the air.

 

Miroku, Sailor Star, and Shippo yell out in unison, “Sango!”

 

Sailor Universe, Solar Sun, and Kuwabara shout out in unison, “Kari!”

 

Sailor Galaxy struggles to break free, for some reason she can't, and Sailor Galaxy yells out, angrily, “Get off of me, you overgrown blob!”

 

Solar Sun aims his right index finger, charged with spirit energy, and shouts out, seriously, “All right, blobs for brains, put down my sister or you will get where the sun don't shine!”

 

Elder Togero shouts out, with an evil sly grin, “Just try it, Urameshi!”

 

Solar Sun yells out, angrily, “You really asked for it! Spirit Gun!” Solar Sun fires a powerful sphere of spirit energy from his right index finger into Elder Togero's chest and it doesn't seem to do a thing, but then the spirit energy is absorbed and negated in Elder Togero's blobby mass form. Solar Sun shouts out, stunned, “What the hell?!”

 

Elder Togero tells Solar Sun, in an evil taunting tone, “Nice try, Urameshi! But even with your massive S-class powers, you can't make a dent in me! I can alter my body's molecular structure into a substance that's absorbs your energy attacks, spiritual or demon!”

 

Solar Sun yells out, stunned, “Damn it! That means that my attacks are useless!”

 

Hiei tells Solar Sun, plainly, “What was your first clue, Yusuke?”

 

Kuwabara roars as he summons his Spirit Sword, then upgrades it into its Jigen Tou version, and yells out, seriously, “Oh, yeah, you overgrown blob! Then what about this!” Kuwabara then roars as he charges right at Elder Togero, much to the shock of his friends.

 

Kurama yells out, seriously, “Kuwabara, wait!”

 

Hiei states, plainly, “Too late, Kurama. The fool has rushed off without using his head, again.” Kuwabara yells at his slice through two tentacles sent at him and he impales Elder Togero in the center of his blob mass form, but Elder Togero launches off the blow and Kuwabara can't seem to remove his Spirit Sword.

 

Kuwabara yells out, stunned, “What the hell?! I'm stuck, but nothing can hold back this sword!”

 

Elder Togero shouts out, with an evil sly grin, “Expect for me, Kuwabara! It's time for payback for the Dark Tournament!” Just then four tentacles dive at Kuwabara, transform into metal spikes at the ends, and Kuwabara manages to de-active his sword and leap, but it was too late as he screams out in as he is impaled in the left sword by metal spikes!

 

Solar Sun yells out, stunned, “Kuwabara!” Kuwabara is thrown back and he holds his bleeding left shoulder in pain as his friends get over to him. Solar Sun tells him, “Idiot! Are you all right?!”

 

Kuwabara winches in pain and yells out, more angry than hurt, “Yeah! That fucking asshole just blindsided me, that's all! It's just a damn flesh wound!”

 

Sailor Universe tells Kuwabara, concerned, “You are really bleeding bad, Kuwabara! That's more than a flesh wound!”

 

Kuwabara says, seriously, “I'm fine!”

 

Sailor Saturn goes over and tells Kuwabara's friends, “I'll take care of his wound. You save your sister.”

 

Solar Sun tells Sailor Saturn with a smile, “You are a real life-saver, Hotaru.”

 

Sailor Saturn nods her head and says, with a smile, “No problem, Yusuke-kun.”

 

Sailor Star tells Miroku, “Miroku, you and Shippo help my cousin and the others get Kari, Mindy, and Sango back from that blob-like freak.”

 

Shippo asks Sailor Star, concerned, “What about you, Kagome?!”

 

Sailor Star tells Shippo, seriously, “Inuyasha and I will take care of the Thunder Brothers and Mistress Centipede. We will be all right. We are a lot more powerful than when we first face them.”

 

Inuyasha says, with a confident sly grin, “Beating these has-beens will be a piece of cake. Now, get going!”

 

Miroku tells Inuyasha and Sailor Star, “Okay, just be careful, you, two.”

 

Shippo tells them, concerned, “Good luck.” Miroku and Shippo head off to do what they can to save Sango from Elder Togero's grip while Inuyasha and Sailor Star get some distance from the others while the Thunder Brothers and Mistress Centipede.

 

Mistress Centipede says, with a serious tone, “This time, you and that pathetic half-breed child won't defeat me, miko!”

 

Inuyasha says, with a serious tone, “Just try it, you old hag!”

 

On the meanwhile, Yami Bakura is facing the Sailor Scouts, minus Moon and Saturn, Tuxedo Mask, Sailor Sun, Sailor Aries, Sailor Aquarius, Sailor Leo, Solar Moon, Sailor Earth, Atem and his friends, and Elemental Hero Neos and he says, with an evil sly grin, “Well, what do you know? I have all of you, including former Pharaoh Atem and his successor all to myself. What a great day for me.”

 

Sailor Uranus says, with a serious tone, “It won't before we kick you and your overgrown snake's asses!”

 

Yami Bakura says, in a mock fearful tone, “Oh, you are so scary!” Yami Bakura then launches and calls out, with an evil sly grin, “Ha! The only one that can really have a chance to scare me is that pathetic Moon Princess and her Valkyrie Powers! Even I have to admit, with those powers and armor of hers, she can be quite troubling especially since she uses the powers of light and darkness with her Twilight powers as well, but bad news for you, she and Sailor Galaxia, the second most powerful Sailor Soldier in the universe, have their hands full with the Animamates! She was a fool to leave you alone! Without the two of them, none of you stand a chance against me and Diabound!”

 

Sailor Jupiter calls out, seriously, “You want to make a bet?!”

 

Yami Bakura tells Sailor Jupiter, “Let this be my answer, Jupiter!” Yami Bakura shouts out, in a serious tone, “Diabound, attack! Use the power of Blue-Eyes White Dragon! White Lightning!” Diabound launches a beam of white electrical energy right at our heroes and heroines and they manage to leap out of the way with Atem and his friends barely managing to escape with Atem and Tea knocked to the ground. Yami Bakura looks at Tea and Atem and he calls out, seriously, “Now, Diabound, it is time to de-throne the former Pharaoh, once and for all! Lightning Blast!” Diabound launches Slifer's attack from its second mouth right at Atem and Tea, much to everyone's shock.

 

Joey yells out, seriously, “Atem! Tea! Get out of the way!” However, they were knocked down to the ground when they dodged the first assault and they couldn't get out of the way in time.

 

But then a male voice rings out, “I shall protect you my Pharaoh!” Just then a sphere of dark green magical energy intercepts the attack and negates it.

 

Yami Bakura yells out, angrily, “Who dares interfere?!”

 

The male voice rings out, in a serious tone, “It is me, Zorc! Or have you forgotten me after all these millennia?!” Soon enough, what looks like Dark Magician with a glowing violet aura floats down and hovers to the right of Atem and Tea, but this Dark Magician had honey colored skin on his hands and face with violet colored eyes.

 

Yami Bakura yells out, shocked beyond belief, “What?! You?! But how?!”

 

Atem looks at him, gasps in shock, and exclaims, “Mahad!”

 

Mahad, the Dark Magician replies, “Yes, indeed, it is I, my king. I've come over five millennia of time and space to join you in this battle to protect this world. Even through your reign shall soon be passed on to the son of the great Moon Queen along the Gods, my promise and my duty still stands! I shall protect you no matter what?!”

 

Atem nods his head and says, “Thank you, Mahad.”

 

Sailor Sun asks, curiously, “Who is that? It looks like Dark Magician, but his head and hands are different and he is talking.”

 

Sailor Pluto replies, “That's Mahad, the first Dark Magician. When he was a living human being, he was Pharaoh Atem's most faithful servant and friend during his time as Pharaoh and Mahad promised to protect Atem with his life to repay his `debt' forged when Atem through his childhood always helped Mahad out when he was trying to help him. So, when he lost to Thief Bakura in the tombs for the Millennium Ring, he fused his soul with that of the Shadow Creature that lived inside of his soul, the Illusion Magician, to become the first Dark Magician and he sealed himself away in stone to become Pharaoh Atem's eternal servant. He still continues on to this day to protect his king and his friend.”

 

Sailor Jupiter says, seriously, “Wow! That's what I call loyalty! Sound a lot like us!”

 

Yami Bakura says, with a scoff, “So, what if you have come back?! I've crushed you before, Mahad, and I shall do so again!”

 

Mahad, the Dark Magician replies, “We shall see, Zorc! Now, let's duel!”

 

Atem summons a duel disk to his left wrist and he tells Mahad, “My friend, you took the words right out of my mouth!”

 

Yami Bakura shouts out, “Diabound, destroy Atem's pathetic friend! Thunder Force!” Diabound fires Slifer's main attack from its snake mouth tail right at Mahad.

 

Mahad just gives a grin and replies, with a sly smile, “It seems like you haven't learned anything in the past five millennia, Zorc.” Mahad holds up his specter and yells out, “Dark Magic Portal!” Just then a magical vortex appears in front of Mahad and the attack is absorbed inside.

 

Yami Bakura yells out, shocked, “Oh no!”

 

Mahad tells Yami Bakura, “Indeed, Zorc! If you remember correctly, my portal can redirect your attack to anywhere I choose! So, your attack has backfired . . . right at you!” Just then portal opens at Yami Bakura's left and up above him causing the Thunder Force to come out straight at him. Yami Bakura manages to leap out of the way before the attack obliterates the area that he was in, sending him flying to the ground on his stomach, but it only stunned him for a few moments. However, it was all that Mahad needs because he immediately leaps into the air and magical power flows into his staff as he prepares to attack. Mahad shouts out, “Dark Magic Attack!” Mahad then launches a beam of dark green magical energy right into Diabound's chest causing it to roar out in pain as a huge explosion is caused when it slams into Diabound, sending it crashing into the ground. Yami Bakura holds his chest in pain and yelps out as he feels the pain of his monster. Mahad calls out to the Sailor Scouts, “Now, Sailor Soldier, attack now while Diabound is weakened!”

 

Yami Bakura tells Mahad, with a snarl, “I don't think so, Mahad! Or did you forget the power that Diabound gained in our duel?!” Soon after, Diabound melts into the ground itself and vanishes.

 

Mahad yells out, shocked, “Oh, no! That's the power of my Shadow Ghoul and its ability to phase through solid objects!”

 

Yami Bakura replies, with an evil sly grin, “That's right, Mahad! And none of you pathetic mortals know where he will pop up next!”

 

Sailor Uranus shouts out, seriously, “Be on guard everyone!”

 

Yami Bakura says, with an evil sly grin, “Well, not to keep everyone in suspense . . . I think that I will reveal Diabound right now!” Yami Bakura snaps his fingers and just then Diabound bursts out of the ground in front of Sailor Mini-Moon and the Sailor Quartet!

 

Tuxedo Mask yells out, stunned, “Mini-Moon!”

 

Yami Bakura shouts out, with an evil sadistic grin, “Too late, cape boy! Diabound, kill the mini-runt and her friends!” Diabound then gathers his energy to attack Sailor Mini-Moon and the Sailor Quartet, who are preparing to defeat their princess with their lives, but then Neos quickly moves in to stop him.

 

Solar Moon shouts out to Neos, with a serious tone, “Cosmic Crush!” Neos then smashes his right fist into Diabound's face, surprising the monster, and knocking it to the ground.

 

Yami Bakura groans in pain, holds his face, moves his jaw around, and says, with a snarl, “So, the Moon Prince and his Neo-Spacian friend wants to play. Well, let's play!”

 

Atem draws one card from his deck and says, seriously, “We're sick of your games, Zorc!” Atem puts one card on his duel disk and yells out, “Now, I summon my Dark Magician Girl!” Just then a bright light appears in the air in front of Atem and Dark Magician Girl (2000/1700) with her eyes closed appears in front of them.

 

Just then Dark Magician Girl opens her eyes, looks at Mahad, and says, in a female voice and with a smile, “It has been a long time, Master Mahad.”

 

Mahad says, in surprise, “Mana, it's you!”

 

The Dark Magician Girl says, nodding her head, “Yes, my master. Sometime after Zorc was defeated, I was forced to merge my soul with my loyal Shadow Monster. Like you, I am here to protect our friend and my king even through he is passing on his throne to the son of Queen Serenity.”

 

Sailor Mars asks, perplexed, “First, a real-life talking Dark Magician and now, a talking Dark Magician Girl. Who is she?”

 

Sailor Pluto replies, “She was the best friend of Pharaoh Atem and top student of Mahad before he became the Dark Magician. The Shadow Creature within her soul was the Dark Magician Girl and back in ancient times before Atem became Pharaoh, he, Mana, and Mahad grew up together in Egypt.”

 

Mana looks at Sailor Pluto and says, with a smile, “It is good to see you, well, Sailor Pluto.” Mana then looks at Diabound and Yami Bakura and says, seriously, “It looks like Zorc was somehow reborn in this modern day world and is up to his old tricks again.”

 

Mahad nods his head and tells Mana, “Yes, Zorc is reborn. In the guise of Thief King Bakura and we need to defeat him again. Ready, Mana?”

 

Mana nods her head and replies, “Yes, Master Mahad.” The two magicians start to glow as they prepare to strike.

 

Yami Bakura yells out, annoyed, “So, the Pharaoh's little `surrogate family' has been reunited, huh? How cute! I think that I'm going to hurl! Diabound, crush these two magicians like the flies that they are!”

 

Solar Moon takes two cards from his deck, puts them on his duel disk, and yells out, “Don't count on it, bro! I summon Neo-Spacian Flare Scarab and Neo-Space Grand Mole!” Soon after, Neo-Spacian Flare Scarab (500/500) and Neo-Spacian Grand Mole (900/300) appear right besides Elemental Hero Neos. Solar Moon calls out, “Now, Neos! Flare Scarab! Grand Mole! Triple Contact Fusion!” Deep in the sky, the outer space theme appears and the three monsters glow with rainbow lights.

 

Neos asks his fellow Neo-Spacians, “Ready, everyone?” Flare Scarab and Grand Mole nod their head in unison and all three of them leap into the outer space `field' as they are unite in a bright light as the three monster cards on Solar Moon's duel disk return to his deck and is replaced by a fusion monster card from his fusion deck. Soon after, the bright light fades away to reveal a humanoid monster is revealed that has Flare Scarab's head, expect for the beetle-like horn, Flare Scarab's wings, Elemental Hero Grand Neos' upper chest, the left and right sides of his lower chest, the upper arms of Grand Neos, the center of the lower chest and waist and the upper legs of this monster look exactly like Elemental Hero Neos' chest and upper leg areas, his kneecaps looked like Grand Neos' kneecaps, his lower legs and feet are like Flare Neos' lower legs, expect they are black boot-like feet instead of insect-like feet, lower right arm is a gantlet made of Neo-Spacians Grand Mole's claws with four long claws coming out of the front area of the gantlet, and his lower left arm and hands looks like it is made of molten rock with lava flowing through it.

 

Yami Bakura yells out, stunned, “What in the world is that creature?!”

 

Solar Moon replies, with a sly grin, “My Elemental Hero Magma Neos!”

 

Sailor Sun thinks in her mind, “That's the same monster that Jay used against that damn Harrington when he was one of those white dorks!” The stats show Elemental Hero Magma Neos has 3000/2500 stats!

 

Mana asks Mahad, “Master, do you sense the power of that creature?”

 

Mahad nods his head and says, “Yes, the fusion creature has great power, I can feel it. So, this is the power of the mysterious Neo-Spacians. It is the power of unity itself.”

 

Yami Bakura shouts out, angrily, “If you think that your new creature will defeat Diabound, then you are sadly mistaken! Diabound, crush his alien hero!”

 

Solar Moon yells out, strongly, “No way, dude! Magma Neos, attack! Volcanic Neos Blaze!” Magma Neos launches a blast of powerful flame energy right into the chest of Diabound and it roars out in pain as the attack slams into him causing Yami Bakura to yell out in pain as his chest is badly burned.

 

Mahad calls out to Mana, “Now, Mana!” The two Dark Magicians rise into the air and prepare to combine powers.

 

Mana and Mahad shout out in unison, “Double Dark Magic Attack!” The two of them fire a huge sphere of magical power, a green and pink sphere, and it slams into Diabound's chest with terrific force causing the beast to fall to the ground. Yami Bakura screams out in extreme pain and agony as he is badly injured and falls to the ground, but Diabound manages to rise again.

 

Joey yells out, annoyed, “What does it take to stop this thing?!”

 

Sailor Jupiter shouts out, seriously as her arms crackle with electrical power, “Maybe we should take a crack at it!” The Sailor Scouts of the Moon Kingdom along with Sailor Sun, Sailor Aquarius, Sailor Leo, and Sailor Earth prepare to attack.

 

“Twilight Mercury Sub-Zero Blizzard!”

 

“Twilight Mars Inferno Helix!”

 

“Twilight Venus Aurora Hearts!”

 

“Twilight Jupiter Thunder Force Crush!”

 

“Twilight Uranus World Turbulence!”

 

“Twilight Neptune Lunar Tsunami!”

 

“Pluto Chrono Surge!”

 

“Earth Shatter Quake!”

 

“Twilight Solar Big Bang!”

 

“Twilight Aquarius Antarctic Freeze!”

 

“Twilight Leo Roaring Blast!”

 

Soon after, a huge sub-zero wind of snow and ice, a twister of flames, a aurora beam full of dark violet and golden hearts, an electrical force beam, a tornado full of orange planet-shaped energy spheres, a huge tsunami that's pretty dark as it is occurring at night in the light of the full moon, a swirl of multiple dark pink energy spheres, tons of rocks erupting from the ground, a large sphere of black, red, and golden solar energy, a beam of freezing energy, and super powerful shockwave slam into Diabound at all once causing the beast and Yami Bakura to be covered in a huge amount of smoke and dust.

 

Sailor Jupiter yells out, seriously, “Ha! Ha! That taught him not to mess with us!” But then a huge wind surge causes to smoke to be blown away to reveal Diabound, not even hurt by these attacks and surrounded in a force-field of evil spirits.

 

Sailor Venus yells out, stunned, “No way!”

 

Sailor Mercury asks, perplexed, “How did he survive that attack?”

 

Sailor Mars yells out, pointing to the force-field, “He is surrounded in a force-field of evil spirits.”

 

Yami Bakura laughs evilly and exclaims, with an evil sly smile on his lips, “That's right! Those are the evil spirits of Kul Elna!”

 

Atem yells out, seriously, “Hold on! I thought those spirits went off into to shadows where they belonged thanks to spirit of my father!”

 

Yami Bakura tells Atem, with an evil laugh, “Yes, it was a nice try, but he failed all the same! The evil spirits came back after they realized that they were tricked and your poor father is left in the Shadows all alone!”

 

Atem says, with an angered snarl, “Zorc . . .!”

 

Yami Bakura tells Atem, with an evil sly grin, “Are you mad, Pharaoh? Angry? Well, get angry, get mad! Like that foolish Light of Destruction, the more angry that you become, the more powerful that I become!”

 

Solar Moon takes out three cards from his deck and calls out, “All right, that's enough, pal!”

 

Yami Bakura tells Solar Moon, with an evil sly grin, “Oh, really? What are you going to do about it, boy?”

 

Solar Moon puts three cards on his duel disk, causing it to wildly spark, and yells out, “Summon these bad boys to take you! Obelisk the Tormentor! Slifer the Sky Dragon! And the Winged Dragon of Ra!”

 

Yami Bakura yells out, flabbergasted, “What?! You can use all three gods at once?!” The three God Cards shoot a blue beam, a red beam, and a yellow beam of light into the sky, dark clouds cover the area, and three huge beam of light slam down to the ground behind our heroes and heroines. Out of those beams of light, Obelisk the Tormentor, Slifer the Sky Dragon, and the Winged Dragon of Ra appear behind the future Pharaoh of Egypt and our Slifer Red hero with mighty roars of power. Yami Bakura becomes nervous for the first time in the battle and he thinks in his mind, surprised, “Damn it all! I didn't know that he can harness all three gods at once! Damn it! He truly is the Pharaoh's successor! I didn't anticipate him being in control of his new powers as Pharaoh in such a quick manner.” Yami Bakura then thinks in his mind, with a serious tone and evil sly smile, “However, that doesn't mean that I'm done! He has this battle for now, but this isn't over!”

 

Solar Moon calls out, “Ready, guys! Time to take him out!”

 

Yami Bakura tells Solar Moon, with a sly grin, “Not this time, Prince Judai! You might have won this battle, but the war is far from over! The Millennium Items will be mine, including your new Millennium Puzzle that you have as Atem's successor! Farewell for now!” Diabound fires a powerful Thunder Force attack into the ground creating a huge explosion of dust and dirt and causing everyone to cover their eyes and mouths not to choke on the dust and smoke. When it clears, Diabound and Yami Bakura have gone.

 

Sailor Jupiter yells out, annoyed, “Damn him! That coward! He left when he knew that Jaden was going to use the Egyptian Gods to kick his ass!”

 

Sailor Mars says, with a serious tone, “Yeah, but he will be back! He wants to revive his true form and he needs those other items to do it!”

 

Atem tells Sailor Mars, with a serious tone, “Agreed! We need to make sure that we keep our guards up!” On the meanwhile, the Thunder Brothers and Mistress Centipede are doing battle with Sailor Star and Inuyasha with Sailor Star going against the Thunder Brothers in the sky while Inuyasha dodges Mistress Centipede's attack with ease.

 

Sailor Star dodges several powerful thunder blasts from Manten and he yells out, tauntingly, “What's the matter, woman? Can't fight without your `pet', Inuyasha to protect you?”

 

Sailor Star yells out, angrily, “Inuyasha is no pet! He is someone that I care about! So, don't ever call him a dog, jerk!”

 

Hiten says, with an evil taunting tone, “So, the miko has a `thing' for her `pet' does she, huh? Well, Inuyasha will be joining you soon enough, girl! As soon as we get the jewel!” Hiten fires multiple thunder bolts at Sailor Star and she barely manages to dodge them and Hiten then charges Kagome with his scythe and yells out, with an evil smile, “Prepare to die, wench!”

 

Sailor Star gets her bow out and calls out, “Not today, pal!” Soon enough, Sailor Star and Hiten were battling in mid-air with Hiten trying to slice Sailor Star with his scythe, but Sailor Star's magical bow blocks every single blow.

 

Hiten calls out, angrily, “That's enough!” Hiten charges Sailor Star, he slams his staff into Sailor Star's bow, and applies pressure. Sailor Star strains to hold him back and Hiten says, with an evil sly grin, “Face it, harlot! You are nothing without Inuyasha! You can't hope to defeat me, girl!”

 

Sailor Star's bow gives off a bright golden glow and she yells out, seriously, “Think again!” With a loud yell, Sailor Star throws Hiten away from her and Hiten gets thrown back some distance, but he quickly recovers.

 

Hiten says, seriously, “You will pay for that one, wench . . .!” However, he doesn't get to finish when Sailor Star transforms her bow into a huge magical energy boomerang and launches at Hiten and he holds up his scythe in defense, but the attack not only goes through the scythe, it slices Hiten right in half causing him to give an expression of surprise. Hiten says, in his final breath, “But how . . .?” Just then Hiten splits in half and explodes into nothingness, much to the shock of his brother Manten.

 

Manten yells out, angrily, “How dare you kill my brother?! You shall die for that wench!” Manten prepares to attack with a powerful beam of thunder energy, but the energy boomerang returns to Sailor Star's hands, transforms back into a bow, and she puts three energy arrows in it, launching them as soon as Manten launches his attack. The attack rocket towards each other and slam into each other with terrific force, negating each other out and covering the area with a large amount of smoke. Manten calls out, stunned, “But how did she do that?! No human should . . .!” However, he doesn't get to finish when another arrow comes through the smoke and strikes him right in the heart. Manten looks down at the energy gone right through his heart and he thinks in his mind, “Brother, it looks like both of us underestimated this miko and her new powers! It looks like that I will be joining once again in death.” Soon after, Manten starts to glow and he explodes into dozens of pieces.

 

Inuyasha sees this and thinks, with a sly smile, “Excellent! It's about time, Kagome! I knew that you could finally do it!” Soon after, Inuyasha dodges another charge from Mistress Centipede and Inuyasha yells out, tauntingly, “Is that all you have you old hag?!”

 

Mistress Centipede shouts out, “Not even close, boy!” Just then Mistress Centipede shoots out webbing from her mouth and Inuyasha yelps out as he dodges the webbing, but then one snag around his right foot and he is tripped into the ground.

 

Inuyasha yells out, angrily, “Damn it!”

 

Mistress Centipede unleashes her `charge' by twister her body around like a drill and she calls out, seriously, “It is the end of you, boy!”

 

Inuyasha roars out, seriously, “Don't count on it, witch!” Inuyasha uses Tessaiga to break the webbing and get himself away before Mistress Centipede attack slams into where he just was. When she rises out of the ground, Inuyasha shouts out, seriously, “I've had enough of you, hag! It's time for you to die and stay dead! Wind Scar!” Inuyasha slams his sword into the ground, creating a huge whirlwind, and Mistress Centipede yells out as she is sliced apart by Inuyasha's attack into little pieces.

 

Sailor Star lands near Inuyasha and she says, with a smile, “Nice work, Inuyasha.”

 

Inuyasha says, with a scoff, “That was too easy, Kagome. I mean, this old hag was crushed even before I got Tessaiga! What made her think that she could beat me now?!”

 

Sailor Star smiles and replies, “Yeah, you're right, Inuyasha.” Finally, with the elder Togero, he had Sailor Libra, Sailor Galaxy, and Sango in his tentacles when his `blob-like' form kept him from getting hurt with his ability to alter his molecular structure to negate Yusuke's and Kuwabara's most powerful assaults. After healing Kuwabara, Sailor Star leaps into the air and manages to cut through the tentacles with her Silent Glaive allowing Sailor Libra and Sailor Galaxy to fly free while Sango falls down into Miroku's arms.

 

Miroku sets Sango down and Miroku asks Sango, concerned, “Are you okay?”

 

Sango tells Miroku, with a reassuring tone, “I'm fine.” When Sango sees Miroku's arms going to her butt, Sango says, with an annoyed tone, “Miroku, don't even you dare . . .!”

 

Miroku replies, nervously, “Ha! Ha! I was just seeing if you are okay!”

 

Sailor Galaxy lands by her brother and she says, when she sees this in an annoyed tone, “Kagome was right about this guy. He is a real pervert, much more than my brother was.”

 

Solar Sun yells out, annoyed, “Hey, would you cut that out, Kari?!”

 

Elder Togero turns his tentacles into metal blades and yells out, seriously, “Good idea! Allow me to cut it!” Elder Togero then sends his blades right at our former Spirit Detective and his friends, but Yeshua gets in-between them and easily stops the attack with a simple force-field.

 

Yeshua tells Elder Togero, in a plain tone, “I will allow no harm to come the Chosen Ones and their friends, especially by your hands!”

 

Elder Togero replies, with a snarl, “We will see about that, pal!” He transforms back into his `human' form, turns his fingers in his right hand into metal spikes, and extends them right at Yeshua, who doesn't move an inch.

 

Solar Sun yells out, seriously, “Hey, get out of the idiot or you will get speared!” However, Yeshua easily stops the attack and grabs the spikes with his left hand only without getting cut.

 

Kuwabara yells out, stunned, “No way!”

 

Elder Togero tries to pull away, but he can't and he yells out, annoyed, “Hey! Let go!” Soon after, his metal spiked fingers start to turn into stone and the stone `infection' starts to rapid close on his body. Elder Togero yells out, stunned, “No! No! I'm turning to stone! You can't do this to me!”

 

Yeshua replies, plainly, “I just did!”

 

Elder Togero shouts out, fearfully as the `infection' takes the whole of his right arm, “No, I won't let do this! I'll kill you first!” Elder Togero extends his left hand fingers into more metal spikes and tries to kill Yeshua, but his `transformation' into stone is so fast, he is turned totally to stone just before the spikes hit Yeshua's face and our heroes and heroines are shocked to see Elder Togero turned to stone.

 

Sailor Mercury says, stunned. “You turned him to stone!”

 

Yeshua nods his head and says, in a plain and logical tone, “With his ability to alter his body and molecular structure, defeating him without cost seemed impossible, so, I took the only step to make sure that he didn't kill anyone else after he injured Kuwabara.”

 

Sailor Universe asks, curiously, “Is he dead?”

 

Yeshua shakes his head and replies, plainly, “No, Princess Sakura. I just put in a form of suspected animation of sorts. He is very much alive in that stone, but he won't be coming out for a long time to come.”

 

Sailor Aries says, plainly, “Remind me never to make you mad.”

 

Sailor Jupiter says, with a nod to the head, “No joke. Glad you are on our side.”

 

Kuwabara asks, with a curious tone, “What do we do with him now?”

 

Hiei tells Kuwabara, with a plain tone, “What do you think fool? We get him shipped back to Spirit World's prisons.”

 

Kurama says, with a plain and logical tone, “I believe that they will find him more . . . manageable this time.”

 

Sailor Galaxy says, nodding her head, “No joke.”

 

Tuxedo Mask asks, seriously and concerned tone, “What about Sailor Moon and Sailor Galaxia?”

 

Solar Moon says, with a reassuring smile, “I'm sure that sis and Sailor Galaxia are doing fine up there! I mean, she has legendary Sailor Scout powers right?!”

 

Sailor Pluto says, with a serious and plain tone, “However, the question of Sailor Moon using her powers to the fullest is left to be seen.”

 

Yeshua nods his head and says, in a plain tone, “Yes, I agree with Pluto. Sailor Moon might have the legendary Sailor Scout powers, but her ability to use them to their fullest has yet to be tested and even through this time, she has Sailor Galaxia to aid her rather than fight against her. Zorc's Shadow Powers might have increased the Sailor Animamates powers a significant amount.”

 

Sailor Sun says, drolly, “Real encouraging, you, two.”

 

Sailor Mars says, with a nod, “You said it, girlfriend.” Sailor Mars thinks in her mind, seriously, “Come on, Meatball Head, you had better come back in one pieces or I'll bash you into the ground myself!”

 

(Back to the battle between Sailor Moon and Sailor Galaxia against the Sailor Animamates; A short time soon after)

 

Back near the entrance into the volcano on Duel Academy, we find Sailor Galaxia firing multiple energy bursts at Sailor Iron Mouse and Sailor Aluminum Siren, but the two Animamates were managing to dodge them. On the meanwhile, Valkyrie Sailor Moon was faring better as Sailor Lead Crow tried to attack her with super-fast attacks with her whip, but Valkyrie Sailor Moon's own super-speed allowed her to dodge those attacks with ease.

 

Sailor Lead Crow shouts out, angrily, “Hold still, bitch! You are going to get whipped, so, why delay the inevitable?!” Sailor Lead Crow launches the whip at Valkyrie Sailor Moon, but she easily catches the whip in her left head causing Sailor Lead Crow to gasp in shock.

 

Valkyrie Sailor Moon says, with a serious tone, “The only one to get whipped is you, Lead Crow!” Valkyrie Sailor Moon then yanks the whip forward and sending Sailor Lead Crow flying towards her. When she gets near, Valkyrie Sailor Moon lands one powerful right cross into her face, sending Sailor Lead Crow flying ten feet across the ground before crashing into the ground, extremely hard, and then she skids ten more feet before she comes to stop, lying jumbled in a stunned heap.

 

Sailor Tin Nyanko's voice booms, “You might have taken care of that idiot, but it will take more than that to stop me!” Valkyrie Sailor Moon looks up to see Sailor Tin Nyanko dropping down on her with a lance pointed at her heart. Valkyrie Sailor Moon takes out her sword and stops Sailor Tin Nyanko's from piercing her heart, forcing Tin Nyanko away from her. Sailor Tin Nyanko charges Valkyrie Sailor Moon with her lance and yells out, seriously, “You are going to die, Moon brat! It is time for some payback!”

 

Valkyrie Sailor Moon says, with a serious tone, “It seems like that you never learn do you?!” Valkyrie Sailor Moon and Sailor Tin Nyanko then get into a serious and fierce battle with Valkyrie Sailor Moon using her sword and Sailor Tin Nyanko using her lance.

 

“Millennium Galactica Crush!”

 

“Millennium Galactica Tsunami!”

 

Sailor Iron Mouse and Sailor Aluminum Siren launches `darker' versions of their special attacks right at Sailor Galaxia and she manages to leap out of the way, but the power from the explosion was so strong that it threw her higher into the air.

 

Sailor Iron Mouse tells Sailor Galaxia, with an evil sly smile and her child-like tone, “What's the matter Galaxia? You don't seem as tough as you used to be.”

 

Sailor Galaxia says, with a serious tone, “Believe me, I am still tougher then you believe, Iron Mouse.” Sailor Galaxia gathers energy and prepares to make her major assault.

 

“Galaxia Superstring!”

 

Sailor Galaxia is surrounded by rings of energy and she launches powerful blasts at her two opponents causing strong explosions, but the two Animamates manage to dodge out of the way. However, Sailor Galaxia just gives a sly smirk at this, creating a golden energy whip, and launches the whip at Iron Mouse and Aluminum Siren. And this time, they couldn't dodge and they yell out in extreme pain as they are hit really hard. However, Sailor Galaxia, being the elite sailor warrior that she is, knows that it is a good idea to be better safe than sorry.

 

“Galaxia Superstring!”

 

Sailor Galaxia launches her first attack that she just used on the two Animamates, but this time, since they are stunned, the attack slams into them and they are sent fly across the air until they slam into the ground ten yards away. Back to Valkyrie Sailor Moon, she is using her saber against Sailor Tin Nyanko's lance, but then she seems makes a mistake and opens her chest to Tin Nyanko's lance.

 

Sailor Tin Nyanko thrusts her lance right at Valkyrie Sailor Moon's chest and she yells out, with an evil smile, “You are dead, Moon bitch!” But when the point of the lance nears Valkyrie Sailor Moon's chest, Valkyrie Sailor Moon lands a powerful kick that knocks the lance right out of her hands and then she swings her blade so hard that it creates a shockwave that sends Sailor Tin Nyanko flying backward while Valkyrie Sailor Moon uses her super-speed to vanish from sight.

 

Sailor Lead Crow goes up to Sailor Tin Nyanko, who is getting back on her feet, and yells out, angrily, “Idiot! How hard is it to kill that ditzy witch?!”

 

Sailor Tin Nyanko calls out, angrily, “If you are so tough, kill her yourself!” Just then Valkyrie Sailor Moon's whistle is heard in the air above them and they look up in the air to see Valkyrie Sailor Moon on Selena's back and both of them are charging up for an attack.

 

“Valkyrie Duel Moon Crystal Blast!”

 

Selena launches a powerful silver beam of energy from crystal horn while Valkyrie Sailor Moon does the same with her sword and the two attacks combine into one super attack that takes the form of Asian dragon with a mighty roar.

 

Sailor Tin Nyanko, knowing they can't avoid the attack, says, plainly, “Oh shit.” Just then the attack slams into the two Sailor Animamates with terrific force creating a huge explosion that Sailor Galaxia has to shield herself from because of the force and the powerful winds caused from the impact and the two of them scream out in extreme pain as their tattered, battered, and beaten forms are thrown from the explosion and crash land with a powerful `thud' near the edge of the volcano area. When the smoke and dust clear from the crash, the two Animamates are badly burned, their uniforms badly torn, and they have multiple cuts all over their bodies, but they are very much alive and give groans of pain to show it.

 

Sailor Galaxia says, with a rare amazed look, “Incredible.” But just then the four Sailor Animamates vanish as they are teleported away.

 

Yami Bakura's voice booms out, “I still need them to get me the five other Millennium Items, so, you haven't seen the last time of them your majesty! Count on it!”

 

Valkyrie Sailor Moon leaps down from Selena, waves her `Battle Pegasus' good-bye, Selena flies into a mystical portal and leaves until she is needed again, and Valkyrie Sailor Moon says, with a smile, “Something tells me that my bro, the girls, and the others are okay.”

 

Sailor Galaxia asks Valkyrie Sailor Moon, curiously, “How do you know that?”

 

Valkyrie Sailor Moon tells Sailor Galaxia, with a sly smile, “Call it a Sailor Scout's intuition. We had better get back to the others.”

 

Sailor Galaxia nods her head and says, with a smile, “Of course.” Valkyrie Sailor Moon and Sailor Galaxia teleport away to return to the others.

 

(Back at Yami Bakura's base; a short time later)

 

Returning to Yami Bakura's base, we find him sitting in front of the Millennium Stone with an annoyed look on his face while Iron Mouse and Aluminum Siren tend to the wounds of Lead Crow and Tin Nyanko.

 

Yami Bakura sighs and says, with an evil smile, “I guess that taking all of them on at once was a bit too ambitious. Plus, the Pharaoh's successor proved to be a stronger person and duelist than I thought and his Neo-Spacians are a real unknown faction since their fusing abilities and since they are not of this world. Plus, from what I can see, the Moon Princess' Valkyrie powers are no joke as well especially combined with that armored flying pony of hers. I'll have to come up with a new plan then and soon the seven Millennium Items will be back in the stone where they belong and the age of Darkness will arrive!” Yami Bakura gives a loud evil cackle that scares the two Animamates that were tending to the wounds of Lead Crow and Tin Nyanko.

 

(Returning to the Slifer Red dorm; Sometime soon after)

 

Back in front of the Slifer Red dorm, we find Molly, back in her usual clothes, and Blair, also back in her usual clothes, Nephrite, Tyranno, Zane, Syrus, Atticus, and Bastion assembling in front of our heroes and heroines with the Senshi of the group, Solar and Sailor, back in their civilian forms.

 

Serena asks Molly, “Molly, how did you and Blair get back your clothes?”

 

Molly tells Serena, with a sly smile, “Yusuke's friend, Botan, does wonders in getting our clothes back and making sure that they are restored.”

 

Syrus asks Jaden, curiously, “So, how did everything go, Jay?”

 

Alexis tells Syrus, in a plain tone, “We didn't take of that `Zorc' character and he escaped to fight another day. He's got some help with some of Serena and the girls' old enemies.”

 

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

 

Rei tells Atticus, in a plain tone, “You hit the nail right on the head, Atticus. This is what we don't need.”

 

Trista says, with a plain tone, “However, since Sailor Galaxia and our princess managed to injury all four Animamates and we inflected plenty of damage on Zorc through his Shadow Creature, Diabound, we won't have to worry about him for too long.”

 

Yusuke says, with a serious tone, “So, we can take care of those Society Dorks and focus on them and their damn `Master' right?”

 

Yeshua says, with a plain and logical tone, “Yes, but Zorc will return for the items, so, you will have to be on guard and don't forget, Queen Beryl is still lurking around with her three generals.”

 

Lita says, plainly, “You had to remind us about her.”

 

Serena asks, plainly, “No joke, Lita! What else could go wrong?”

 

Just then a mysterious female voice calls out, darkly, “Hello, Serena! It has been a long time!”

 

Serena's face becomes very pale and she thinks, fearfully, “No way! No way! It can't be!” Serena and the others turn to the source of the voice to see a young woman of eighteen to nineteen years of age with long fiery red hair that reaches down to her kneecaps behind her back, deep blue eyes, ruby red color lips, and she is wearing a dark red tight-fitting leather top that ends half-way to her navel, she has a dark red short mini-skirt that goes up to the bottom of her navel, leaving some mid-drift, and goes down half-way of her upper legs/thighs, and she is wearing dark red latex high-heeled boots with four inch heels and covers up to her kneecaps. The whole `look' fits her very sexy and seductive form that also a pretty athletic body. Serena felt like her heart skipped a beat, fear fills her eyes, and she thinks in her eyes, “No! It can't be! How in the hell did she find me?!”

 

The mysterious female tells Serena, with a dark sly grin, “It has been a long time . . . Serena.”

 

Molly asks Serena, curiously, “Serena, who is . . .?” But then Molly looks to see a lot of fear in Serena's eyes and a very pale look on her face.

 

The others notice Serena's fearful look and Kurama thinks in his mind, “Whoever this young woman is, Serena seem to know her and it isn't a positive reaction.”

 

Mina asks Serena, concerned, “Serena, what's wrong? It looks like you have seen a ghost.”

 

Soon after, Serena shakes her head, her look becomes very serious, and she yells out, seriously, “This has got to be some kind of trick!”

 

The mysterious female tells Serena, with a dark annoyed sneer, “I can assure you that it is no trick, Serena! Do you really think that you can get away with abandoning us and think that we wouldn't come after you?!”

 

Serena yells out, with a deadly serious tone, “How did you survive, Katrina?!”

 

The mysterious woman, Katrina, with a dark sly grin, replies, “Oh, please?! Do you really think that little vortex could stop me?! You know me better than that Serena?!”

 

Ami asks Serena, curiously, “Who is this person, Serena?”

 

Serena replies, with a very serious tone, “Someone that you don't like to meet in a dark alley.”

 

Katrina tells Serena, with a dark sly grin, “You didn't tell them about little old me, Serena? I'm really hurt.”

 

Serena replies, with a serious tone, “I doubt it, Katrina. What do you want?!”

 

Katrina tells Serena, with a serious tone, “To give you a major warning, `princess'!” Serena yelps out in shock along with many of our other heroes and heroines and Katrina asks Serena, with a dark sly smile, “Why do you seem so surprised?! You know far well that magic users know darn well of your `royal heritage' and the Silver Millennium!”

 

Trista yells out, shocked, “You're a magic user?!”

 

Tyranno asks, curiously, “What's a magic user?”

 

Yeshua replies, with a plain and logical tone, “It is a special type of human that has the ability to use magic, but you usually have to be born with the ability to use to magic, through you don't have to have magic powers already when you are.”

 

Katrina begins to glow a bright slight violet glow and she says, with a sly grin, “It seems like we have another smart one long with the Time Guardian.”

 

Serena yells out, with a very serious tone, “Enough with the games, Katrina?! What do you want?!”

 

Katrina tells Serena, with a sly grin, “Don't worry, we're not going to hit you while you are dealing with these `troublemakers'. We want you all to ourselves.” Katrina yells out, in a dark serious tone, “But, you had better be warned. When you don't have any more enemies to deal with, we are coming back to get some payback Tsukino and this time, neither your special powers as the Moon Princess, your boyfriend, nor your pathetic guardians will protect you from our wrath!” Soon after, Katrina then vanishes in a stream of lights right in front of our heroes and heroines.

 

Trista says, with a serious tone, “She is a magic user all right. That was a magical teleportation spell. I know of them well.”

 

Amara asks Trista, seriously, “How does she know about the Silver Millennium and Serena?”

 

Trista replies, in a plain tone, “It was from the Silver Millennium that magic users throughout the ages get their starts in the first place, but the world of the magic users is a complex place and only Yeshua knows its ins and outs. Not even I know about them and with Serena, which organization this `Katrina' belongs to, must have figured out that Serena is the reincarnation of Princess Serenity, but they must have done it with more than looks alone. Serena would have to be part of their world to figure it out a lot easier.”

 

Bastion says, with a logical tone, “Which seems to be the case.”

 

Rei asks Serena, seriously, “Okay, Meatball Head, what is the story with her?”

 

Serena tells Rei, with a serious tone and a sigh, “She is someone that I thought died some years ago.”

 

Rei tells Serena, with a serious tone, “We need more information than that.”

 

Serena tells Rei, with a very serious tone in her voice, “Rei . . . please drop it.”

 

Rei yells at Serena, annoyed, “Drop it?! Drop it?! We might have another enemy on our hands and you are telling me to drop it!”

 

Serena looks at Rei with a very angered look, grabs her by the collar, and brawls at her, in a very commanding and angered tone, “DAMN IT, REI!!! DROP IT RIGHT NOW!!!” Everyone else gasps in shock by Serena's reaction and Rei can see a great pain of loss and anguish in her eyes, but it wasn't for what happened between her, the other girls, Darien, and the Light of Destruction, it is something from Serena's past and Rei can tell. Serena yelps in shock at what she is doing, Serena releases Rei's collar, and she says, wearily, “I-I'm sorry, Rei.” Serena rubs her temples and she says, “I-I have a bit of a headache. I need to take a rest.”

 

Alexis tells Serena, with a concerned tone, “Why don't you take my room for a few moments?”

 

Serena replies, with a weak tone, “Thank you, Alexis.” Serena then heads over to Chazz's room, being used by Alexis until the Obelisk Blue dorms can be taken back from the SOL and Sartorius/Light of Destruction, to take a rest followed by her concerned boyfriend, Darien Shields AKA Tuxedo Mask.

 

Amara says, with a plain tone, “Serena is hiding something very painful. Even with what happened to her, she wouldn't `explode' without a good reason.”

 

Rei tells Amara, with a nod and with a serious tone, “Yeah, you're right, Amara. Serena is hiding something very painful. Something from her past.”

 

Lita thinks in her mind, “Not that you mention it, we don't know too much about Serena's past, do we?”

 

Molly nods her head and says, “I never asked Serena about her life before we met and she never told me anything beforehand. I know that her dad is a famous photographer and reported on some `major' events, but I don't know really too much about Serena or her life before we met.”

 

Kurama says, in a plain and logical tone, “But from what we can see, she has enemies from her past and they seem to be pretty powerful. But for now, we need to focus on our current enemies and I can tell you from what I could sense, this Katrina will make good on its promise and not attack her until this battle is over.”

 

Yusuke tells Kurama, with a serious tone, “Usually, I would believe you, Kurama. However, I'm hoping that you are right, pal.”

 

Kurama tells Yusuke, “So am I, Yusuke. However, I wonder what connection is between Serena and this `magic user' known as Katrina is.”

 

Hikari tells Kurama, “Well, I can tell you, Kurama. It isn't good.”

 

Jasmine says, with a serious tone, “And something tells me that sooner or later, we will find out. And it won't be good . . . for Serena or any of us.”

 

Kagome tells Jasmine, with a plain tone, “And I've got a bad feeling that you are right, Jaz.” As our heroes and heroines watch Serena head inside of the redesigned room of the Slifer Red dorm, they wonder along with Darien about the `Earth past' of our Moon Princess . . .

 

Next time in Chapter 19: Demons, Angels, and Dragons: As the GX tournament continues on, we find our heroes and heroines dealing with a new threat in the form of a student from North Academy who made a deal with a dangerous Duel Spirit, the Grim Reaper, and Jaden fights in a duel to save his very soul! Next, an unexpected surprise comes along when Seto Kaiba comes to Duel Academy to investigate the Society of Light and Sartorius. He wasn't very happy to learn that a student was made Vice-Chancellor of Duel Academy and Serena duels Kaiba for the honor of Chancellor Sheppard and herself. Serena's Cyber Angels, Elemental Heroes, and Neo-Spacians do battle against Seto Kaiba's legendary deck and his own Blue-Eyes White Dragons, but a card given to her by Jaden might give our Moon Princess a fair chance to beat Seto Kaiba's deck. Then the Society of Light manages to find a way to trap Kagome in a major trap with her friends being `bait' and Yeshua decides to step up to the plate and show why he was the first Chosen Duelist to fight the Light of Destruction. His mysterious `Angel deck' shows Kagome's `former' friend, Yuka, the power of light and darkness combined together. Finally, major trouble is to come when Queen Beryl decides to launch a major attack against our heroes and heroines and our Sailor Scouts, half-demon, and Spirit Detectives launch a powerful counterattack against her. But during one portion of the battle, Queen Beryl finds a way to penetrate Sailor Moon's Valkyrie Armor and impales right through the heart seemly to kill her! But before our heroes and heroines can grieve over the loss of our Moon Princess, the Spirit Defense Forces arrive! However, they aren't after Yusuke and Hikari, they are here to destroy Sailor Moon's corpse! The Spirit Defense Forces tell our heroes and heroines that from Sailor Moon's Earth blood have ancient demon ancestor! A legendary class of S-class demon that can rival the Ma-zoku! However, before they could carry out their mission, Sailor Moon's demon blood awakens and she is revived back to life once again! But what Sailor Moon is now, no one can truly say. However, great danger is suspected when our heroes and heroines with spirit senses, Darien, and our Moon Prince `sense' that Sailor Moon is possessed by outside force! The SDF find that out, big time, when the possessed Sailor Moon rips them to shreds without trying and she has the leader of the Spirit Defense Forces and Queen Beryl by the throat! Can Jaden save this North Academy student from the evil Duel Monsters' spirit?! What is the card that Jaden gives Serena that could help her defeat Seto Kaiba and his legendary deck?! What is the power of Yeshua's mysterious `Angel deck'?! And what is the story of Serena's `demonic heritage'?! And what or who are possessing our Moon Princess?! Could this be a repeat of what happened to Yusuke when his Ma-zoku blooded awakened?! Or can our heroes and heroines stop our half-demon and possessed Sailor Moon before she gains blood on her hands?! Find out the answers on this action packed and dramatic chapter of Darkness Moon next time!

 

I know that this took so long and I'm sorry about that! But as I already said, school has started on August 27 and I have school work to get done. So, updates won't be as often as usual. Next, I'm also working on my `Twilight Wars' and it takes plenty of work on that story. So, what do you think of my `foreshadowing' to the sequel to this story? Then I would like to thank and give credit to inu-yusukekaiba102 and this author's story of `The Demon' for the idea of Serena's `demon heritage', where the `demon blood' came from, Serena's new `demon side', and the whole plot for Serena's `demonic heritage'. And don't worry, Yeshua will be dueling very soon in the next chapter! Now, please read and review and tells me what you think in this chapter. I will read your reviews as soon as I can and I will catch you later, Crossover, Dueling, and Moon fans!
