Yu-Gi-Oh GX Stars: Darkness Moon

 

Epilogue: The Road to the Future

 

(Shortly after we had left our heroes and heroines; in Obelisk Arena)

 

As we rejoin our heroes and heroines, it is the aftermath of the end between Aster Phoenix's and Light of Destruction possessed Sartorius' duel and even with the help of the spirit of Aster's old friend, the real Sartorius, and Destiny Hero-Plasma, the Ultimate Destiny card, he still lost to the evil side of Sartorius created by the Light of Destruction and his Arcana Force EX-The Light Ruler (4000/4000). Now, we find Aster, his hair totally white and his skin as pale as a ghost, on his knees with the key to the Misgarth satellite fallen out of his pocket while Sartorius' body, `mutated' into inhuman form with pale white skin, yellow eyes with small onyx spheres for pupils, and evil smile on his lips that's neither human or animal along with sickly white aura glowing around his form giving an evil laugh of victory over the shock and horror of the audience, especially our heroes and heroines. Not needing any words, our heroes and heroines immediately run out of the stands towards Aster while the Light of Destruction in Sartorius' mutated' body looms over him.

 

The Light of Destruction thinks in Sartorius' mind, “At long last, Destiny has been fulfilled! It is now time to claim my prize!” Soon after, the key that Aster kept safe floating into the air and into Evil Sartorius' grip. The Light of Destruction AKA Evil Sartorius thinks, with an evil sly grin, “Now, with Aster, all I need is Yusuke Urameshi, his sister, their cousin, Kagome Higurashi, Serena Tsukino, and last, but not least, Jaden Yuki! With the keys that they hold and the powers that they weld as `Chosen Duelists', the universe shall finally see the Light!” On the meanwhile, our heroes and heroines, especially our five remaining `Chosen Duelists' go over to Aster.

 

Soon after, the rest of our heroes and heroines go over to Aster and Jaden asks Aster, worriedly, “Aster! Aster, are you okay?” Jaden states, solemnly, “Sartorius brainwashed you, didn't he?”

 

Aster weakly opens his eyes and says, wearily, “No, Jay. I'm still myself . . . for the moment . . . but you must remember, this isn't Sartorius that we are facing. This is the Light of Destruction and he has taken over Sartorius' body.” Aster tells Serena and Jaden, weakly, “Jay, it is up to you, Serena, Kagome, Kari, and Yusuke. You are the five remaining `Chosen Duelists' and you hold the other two real keys. If he gets all the keys to the satellite and he gets the rest of you, the universe is doomed. You are . . . the last hope . . . and hey, by the way . . . Hino . . .?”

 

Rei asks, curiously and worriedly, “Yeah?”

 

Aster tells Rei, with a weak smile, “If we get out of this, I guess that you have to kick my butt for breaking my promise to you.” Aster says, weakly, “Make sure that Meatball Head and her fool of a brother doesn't mess up . . . it is all up to them . . . later, guys . . .” Aster then faints on his knees, his body glows with a sickly white aura, and he fades away, much to our heroes' and heroines' shock.

 

Mina yells out, stunned, “He vanished!”

 

Syrus asks, perplexed, “Where did he go?!”

 

When Evil Sartorius' sadistic laughter is heard, Jaden and the others look at him with a serious look and Jaden asks, demanding tone in his voice, “All right, what did you do with him?!”

 

Evil Sartorius replies, with an evil grin, “He was tried, so, I gave him a rest.”

 

Yusuke asks, with a dark angered sneer, “What do you mean?!”

 

Evil Sartorius points to the left side of him and he says, with an evil sly grin, “See for yourself, hanyou!” When everyone looks to see Aster's body, encased in some kind of white force-field, hovering slightly above the dueling field. Evil Sartorius says, with an evil grin, “But what happens to him next is up to you, two. Here is a simple demand: Hand over the real satellite key to me or else!”

 

Lita says, with a dark snarl, “Or else what?!”

 

Evil Sartorius says, with an evil sadistic grin, “Or poor Aster might not survive the day.”

 

Rei yells out, angrily and darkly, “You wouldn't dare!”

 

Evil Sartorius states, with an evil sly grin, “Try me, mortal!” Evil Sartorius says, with an evil sly grin, “This is your choice: The satellite keys or Aster's life.”

 

Tyranno says, with a dark angered snarl, “That dirty rat! He's cheating!”

 

Lita tells Tyranno, with a dark serious tone, “You know it, Hassleberry!”

 

Kagome says, with a dark serious tone, “I think that's the way he plays guys!”

 

Kurama says, with a plain tone, “With the universe at stake with one person's life, the better alternative is to keep the keys safe.”

 

Amara says, with a plain tone, “Kurama has a point. It doesn't seem like much of a choice. The whole universe is far more important than one person's life.”

 

Serena says, with a serious tone, “Well, I can't accept that! I can't allow him to take Aster's life like that.”

 

Michelle tells Serena, whispering, “Princess, we know how you feel about situations like this. But even through I hate to admit it, Amara's right. If we hand over the satellite key, he will have the power to brainwash the entire planet and it is our duty to protect this world and the universe.”

 

Serena says, with a solemn tone, “But it isn't our duty to allow other's lives to be taken for the sake of the universe.” Serena then takes out the first of the two remaining real keys from her sub-space pocket.

 

Jaden secretly takes out the real second key and says, seriously, “Serena's right! Aster is a friend and if it wasn't for him, Syrus, Hassleberry, and I would be trapped in that virtual world. He helped me save my best friends and I will not leave a friend behind to die just for some satellite.”

 

Amara whispers to Jaden, “But my prince . . .!”

 

Jaden tells Amara, seriously, “But nothing, Amara! I won't leave Aster to die!”

 

Darien asks, seriously, “However, I thought that the Light of Destruction needed Aster one of the six Chosen Duelists.”

 

Hikari says, with a serious tone, “He needs us! He can't just kill us like that!”

 

Evil Sartorius, overhearing Darien's and Hikari's statements, exclaims, “Mister Shield is correct! However, Miss Urameshi is far from correct! I need his power as one of the six Chosen Duelists, but I didn't say that I needed Aster alive to use his power! So, now, give me those keys!”

 

Just then a strong female voice calls out, “Hold it!” Everyone looks to see the female leader of the Disciplinary Action Squad and some DAS `troops' with her behind Evil Sartorius. The female leader of the DAS tells Evil Sartorius, “Sartorius, your actions aren't approved or allowed in this tournament and you have been disqualified! Now, you will leave the stage immediately.

 

Evil Sartorius yells out, evilly, “Foolish mortal, do you think that you can stop the Light? Learn your place!” Evil Sartorius launches sickly white lightning at the DAS and the group's female leader and they scream out in pain as they are shocked into total unconsciousness. Evil Sartorius then has the white glow surrounding Sartorius' body become even brighter and he says, in a totally inhuman evil voice, “You pathetic mortals consider me one of you! You are wrong! This pathetic fool is only a host for the greatest power in the universe! The Light of Destruction and this world shall be reborn into the Light and all people shall bow down before me!” Sartorius' body erupts into a huge sickly white aura and causing everyone in the audience in scream and yell in panic while Evil Sartorius calls out, evilly, “Through this body, the whole world shall see the light and there is nowhere you can hide! You, people, brought this upon yourselves! In order to bring true justice and peace to this world, you, all, must be purified by the Light and rid you of all darkness within your minds and hearts! The rashness of human kind is destroying this planet and they shall be reborn under the Light! Plus, they shall bow down before me!”

 

Just then Jaden's voice yells out, in a serious and strong tone, “Dream on, space freak!”

 

Evil Sartorius looks directly at Jaden, Serena, and all of their friends/allies, all of whom had serious and determined looks on their faces, and Serena says, strongly, “As long as we stand, you will never succeed in your sick plans!”

 

Yusuke calls out, with a nod, “No joke! We're going to kick your butt!”

 

Evil Sartorius says, with an evil sly grin, “I would like to see you try, Mister Urameshi!” Evil Sartorius then tells Serena, “You see, I still need you and Jaden Yuki, Ms. Tsukino, as well as the other `Chosen Duelists. As the one of the remaining five Chosen Duelists, only your power will allow to conquer the universe!” Evil Sartorius then says, pointing to Aster, “But first things first, what is your choice? Aster's life or the satellite key? One snap of my fingers and he is done along with his powers belonging to me.”

 

Jaden looks at his satellite key, he looks at Serena, who is looking her own key, the two of them nod at some kind of unsaid agreement, and Jaden exclaims, with a snarl, “Fine! You win!” Jaden and Serena then throw the two satellite keys to the middle of the floor, much to our heroes' and heroines' shock.

 

Hikari yells at Jaden, shocked, “Jaden, are you and Serena crazy?! That's the key to the satellite!”

 

Jasmine says, stunned, “Kari's right, you, two! What are you thinking?!” With that, he can turn all of us into his mindless slaves!”

 

Chazz tells Jaden, angrily, “No joke! What you thinking you and that Meatball Head thinking Slifer Slacker?!”

 

Jaden says, with a serious tone, “Look, I don't and won't let him take over and eventually destroy the universe, but I won't do it sacrificing others lives! That would make me just as bad as that alien freak!”

 

Evil Sartorius states, with an evil sadistic tone, “So, let me get this straight: You would allow me to bring the whole world into the light just for one insignificant life?”

 

Jaden tells Evil Sartorius, seriously, “No way, bro! We're not going to let you do anything!”

 

Evil Sartorius asks, with a sly evil smile, “And who is going to stop me?”

 

Serena tells Evil Sartorius, with a dark smile, “Let give you a few guesses: The first one has unique hairstyle, she has love of dueling, greatest dream to be a bride, has one hunky boyfriend, and there is more to her than meets the eye.”

 

Jaden says, with a dark sly grin, “And the second one is wearing red, hates homework, and loves to get his game on!” But just then the white aura around Sartorius' body gives an even brighter glow and the glow takes a formless mass with yellow eyes and mouth.

 

Chazz calls out, stunned, “What the heck?!”

 

Yusuke states, with a sneer, “Well, guess who's back?!”

 

Kagome says, with a plain and serious tone, “I don't need to guess, Yusuke. I remember THAT anywhere.”

 

The mass of white energy speaks with a deep and dark inhuman voice along with Sartorius' mouth, “Foolish mortal! I have traveled across the universe to your planet to purify it with the power of light. Destruction is Rebirth!”

 

Jaden says, seriously, “No!”

 

Hikari says, with a dark serious tone, “Not more of this garbage!”

 

Yusuke says, with a dark strong tone, “When we're done with him, sis, he'll shut up for good!”

 

The aura shirks back into Sartorius' body and Evil Sartorius says, with his inhuman version of Sartorius' voice, “Ha! Try to stop me! You have already given me what I need!” Evil Sartorius then launches a white beam of energy at the key and our heroes and heroines, unable to react in time, can't stop him. However, a beam of rainbow energy comes down from the skies and intercepts the white beam causing a huge explosion that creates so much smoke that everyone had to cover their eyes.

 

Hotaru asks, surprised, “What was that?”

 

Syrus tells Hotaru, “Wish I knew, Hotaru!” Soon after, when the smoke and dust clear, hovering over the key was none other than Elemental Hero Neos with his arms crossed against his chest.

 

Elemental Hero Neos says, with a deep male voice, “I would have something to say about that.”

 

Jaden says, surprised, “Neos, you're here!”

 

Elemental Hero Neos looks at Jaden and says, nodding his head, “Yes! And I will protect these keys! Now, you and Serena must defeat Sartorius in this duel and the Light of Destruction will be sealed away for all time!”

 

Evil Sartorius yells out, evilly, “That's what you think!” Evil Sartorius fires another white energy beam right at Neos, but Neos fires another energy beam, rainbow colored, right back and the two beams collide causing a massive explosion with more smoke and dust. When the smoke and dust clear, Neos' assault negated the power of the Light of Destruction while Neos, taking the key into his right hand, goes over to our heroes' and heroines' right side, and guards the key with another Elemental Hero Neos that just appeared to aid him.

 

Amara asks, curiously, “Where did that second one come from?”

 

Trista replies, with a serious tone, “That must be the Elemental Hero Neos that aids our princess. He is aiding the one that aids and protects our prince.”

 

Jaden asks, with a smile, “Guess we are dueling after all, right?”

 

Evil Sartorius laughs evilly and he says, “Do you think that I did not foresee this? Well, you are wrong!”

 

Alexis says, with a dark serious tone, “Prove it!”

 

Evil Sartorius says, with an evil grin, “Be careful what you wish for my dear, you just might get it! I foresee that Serena and Jaden will suffer a devastating loss and their Neo-Spacian friends will perish!”

 

Jaden tells Evil Sartorius, with a serious expression, “Dream on! Now, let's get ready to duel! Now, who will go first?!”

 

Evil Sartorius replies, with an evil sly grin, “Let me answer that one for you.” Just then white energy leaves Sartorius' body, goes over to his right side, and starts to take shape and form of a humanoid shape. And much to the surprise and shock of everyone else, the energy takes the shape and form of Sartorius, possessed by the Light of Destruction, with a duel disk that has a dueling deck inside attached to his left arm.

 

Rei exclaims, shocked, “What in the hell?!”

 

Trista says, in a rare amazed tone, “I don't know how he has done it, but the Light of Destruction has replicated Sartorius' form and his dueling deck for a double duel against Serena and Jaden.”

 

The original Evil Sartorius says, with an evil sly grin, “Yes! In order to get both Ms. Tsukino and Jaden Yuki, I need to duel them both at the same time, so, in this way, I can defeat both of you at the same time.”

 

Jaden says, seriously, “A tag duel? Fine! I'm cool with that!”

 

Serena says, nodding her head, “Okay! That means Jaden and I can defeat you at the same time!”

 

Ami tells Serena, worriedly, “Serena, if you and Jaden lose, the Light of Destruction will get both of you at the same time and it will be over for the entire universe.”

 

Serena tells Ami, “I know that, Ami. But we need to defeat the Light of Destruction as quickly as possible and I would like it better that the brother that I met after five millennia be safe if he had me to help him. This duel was going to come sooner or later, so, why not?”

 

Trista tells everyone, in a plain tone, “I believe that our princess is right. This battle would have happened sooner or later and I do not believe that this evil force will give them much choice.”

 

Alexis tells Jaden, with a weak smile, “Be careful, Jaden.”

 

Jaden tells Alexis, with his wide smile, “Don't worry, `Lex! Serena and I will finish off this space freak and all this insanity will be over with Aster being back with us, safe and sound!”

 

Evil Sartorius says, with an evil sly grin, “Foolish boy! You and Ms. Tsukino's fate has already been written!”

 

Serena tells Evil Sartorius, with a serious tone, “We'll see about that, pal!” Serena and Jaden attaches a duel disk to their left wrists, puts their dueling decks inside them, and Jaden and Serena activate their duel disks.

 

Jaden tells his and Serena's friends, “All of you better get back! I think this duel will become pretty intense!”

 

Chazz tells Jaden, with his usual tone, “No duh, Slacker! This is the fate of the world you have on the line! So, you and Meatball Head better not mess this up!”

 

Jaden says, with his usual confident tone, “Don't worry about that Chazz!”

 

Kagome asks, curiously, “Are you sure about this?”

 

Hikari says, with a serious tone, “Maybe Kagome and I should take him on.”

 

Jaden says, with a serious tone, “No way! I'm not going to let anyone else get hurt by this creep.”

 

Serena says, with a nod, “Jaden's right. I think that he and I other than Yusuke is the best prepared to defeat this creep.”

 

Kagome then takes out a few cards from her deck and she says, with a smile, “Well, I think that you are going to need this.” Kagome then throws the card to Serena, who catches it.

 

Hikari says, taking a few cards from her deck, “Don't forget me.” Hikari gives the cards to Serena, who takes them with a warm smile on her face.

 

Serena says, with a warm smile, “Thank you.”

 

Kagome says, with smile, “No problem, Serena. And it is like you have Kari's and my power in your deck.”

 

Yusuke takes out four cards from his deck, hands them to Jaden, and he says, with a sly grin, “Hey, don't forget about me. I've been saving these cards for when I take on this freak, but since you are guys are about to take a crack him: Give him one right between the eyes and you better not lose.”

 

Jaden says, with a `V'-sign in his right hand, “Count on it, Yusuke.” Soon after, Serena shuffles the cards that she got from Kagome and Hikari into her deck while Jaden does the same with the cards that he got from Yusuke.

 

Darien tells Serena, with a weak smile, “Please be careful, Sere'.”

 

Serena looks at Darien, gives him a loving smile, and tells him, lovingly, “Don't worry, I will.” Soon enough, the rest of our heroes and heroines got back and they, along with the rest of audience, look on in awe and amazement with some fear as a duel for the fate of the universe is about to begin.

 

Evil Sartorius says, with an evil sly grin, “As you know, this duel will have both teams starting off with eight thousand life-points and you can't share strategies or cards in our hands, expect through spell, trap, and monster card effects! However, you can share cards on your teammate's field, but we'll have separate fields. And both teams will share the same graveyard!”

 

Jaden then calls out, “All right! Get your game on!” Soon enough, the all duel disks display 8000 life-points for each team and all four duelists draw five cards from their decks.

 

“Game on!” all four duelists yell out in unison.

 

Starting Scores:

Jaden and Serena: 8000

Twin Evil Sartorius: 8000

 

Zane says, with a dark plain tone, “This is it. This is the final duel.”

 

Michelle asks, worriedly, “Can they pull it off?”

 

Hikari says, with a determined tone, “We've got to believe that they can!”

 

Keiko says, with a nod, “Kari's right! We can't give up on them! We've got to believe!”

 

Kuwabara yells out, excitedly, “Yeah! I know that they will kick his butt back to whatever hole in space that he came from!”

 

Hiei thinks in his mind, drolly, “The idiot doesn't know what he is talking about!”

 

The copy of the Evil Sartorius says, evilly with his inhuman evil grin, “Let us begin! Fate shall lead the way!”

 

Jaden draws one card from his deck and says, seriously, “Wrong! I will!” Jaden puts one card on his duel disk and says, “And I'll start with this! I play Elemental Hero Bubbleman in attack mode!” Soon after, Elemental Hero Bubbleman (800/1200) comes to the field in attack mode. Jaden says, with a serious tone, “And thanks to his ability, I get two more cards from my deck since he is alone on my field!” Jaden draws two more cards from his deck, puts one card in the spell/trap slots, and says, “And one of them is this! The Equip Spell card: Bubble Blaster!” The large Bubble Blaster appears in Bubbleman's two hands and right shoulder causing his stats to rise from 800/1200 to 1600/1200! Jaden says, with a serious tone, “That will do!”

 

Evil Sartorius draws one card from his deck and says, putting one card on his duel disk, “Enough child's play! I summon Arcana Force Seven also known as The Chariot!” Soon after, Arcana Force VII-The Chariot (1700/1700) comes to the field in attack mode. The card form of the monster appears above its head and starts to rotate. Evil Sartorius then says, “The position of the card will determine its special ability and you have to do is tell it to stop. However, this duel has already been played and I know that the card will land right side up.”

 

Serena says, with a serious tone, “We'll see, pal! Stop!” The card slows down and it indeed stops in the right side up position.

 

Jaden exclaims, shocked, “No way!”

 

Alexis says, stunned, “It can't be!”

 

Evil Sartorius tells Jaden and Serena, with an evil smile on his lips, “You see, it is just like I predicted! Your defeat is inevitable and the world shall be reborn into the Light when you lose!”

 

Jaden tells Evil Sartorius, “Not on your life, pal!”

 

Evil Sartorius says, evilly and tauntingly, “Oh, who is going to stop me?!”

 

Serena tells Evil Sartorius, strongly, “We are!”

 

Evil Sartorius says, with his evil wide grin, “I'll end my turn! Prove that you are the Chosen Duelists and defy destiny! The whole world is watching!”

 

Serena says, drawing one card from her deck, “Okay, already! Hold your duel monsters!” Serena then displays a spell card with mining pick taking crystals planted in the ground and she says, putting the card in the spell/trap slots, “I play my Crystal Mine spell card! Now, I can discard up to six Crystal Beasts from my deck to my graveyard and for every two that I discard, I get one extra card from my deck!” Serena takes out her deck, takes out six cards, reshuffles her deck, puts her deck back in her duel disk, and she displays Crystal Beast Amber Mammoth (1700/1600), Crystal Beast Emerald Turtle (600/2000), Crystal Beast Sapphire Pegasus (1800/1200), Crystal Beast Topaz Tiger (1600/1000), Crystal Beast Ruby Carbuncle (300/300), and Crystal Beast Cobalt Eagle (1400/800) monster cards while saying, “And I choose to discard the maximum number of Crystal Beasts! Since I discarded six Crystal Beasts, I get three more cards from my deck!” While Serena is discarding the six cards to her graveyard, the majority of people including Jaden and Evil Sartorius with his copy give perplexed looks.

 

Evil Sartorius thinks in his mind, curiously, “What is she up to?”

 

Serena draws three cards from her deck, puts one card in the spell/trap slots, and yells out, “Next, I play Graceful Charity! I draw three new cards from my deck while discarding two!” Serena draws three new cards from her deck, then discards her Crystal Beast Amethyst Cat (1200/400) and Rainbow Dragon (4000/0) monster cards to the graveyard, and she says, putting one card on her duel disk, “Then I summon my Elemental Hero Stratos in attack mode!” Just then Elemental Hero Stratos (1800/300) comes to the field in attack mode and Serena says, as a card comes out of her deck, “Plus, when my Stratos is successfully summoned, I get one Elemental Hero from my deck!” Serena puts one card in the spell/trap slot and she says, “Next, I play my Hero's Bond spell card! Since I have one Hero on the field, I can summon two more from my hand as long as they are level four or below!” Serena puts two cards on her duel disk and call out, “So, I play Elemental Hero Neos Alius and Elemental Hero Woodsman with both of them in defense mode!” Just then Elemental Hero Neos Alius (1900/1300), a child-like version of Elemental Hero Neos, and Elemental Hero Woodsman (1000/2000) come to the field in defense mode. Serena puts two cards in the spell/trap slots and she says, with a sly grin, “I'll throw down two face-downs and end my turn!”

 

Syrus asks, perplexed, “I'm confused here. Why did she get rid of her Crystal Beast cards?”

 

Zane says, with a dark plain tone, “In order to summon Rainbow Dragon, she needs all seven Crystal Beasts to be on her field or in the graveyard. So, she is using the fastest tactic to get them where they need to be.”

 

Kurama thinks in his mind, seriously, “True. But I feel that there is more to her plan.”

 

The Clone of Evil Sartorius draws one card from his deck and he yells out, with an evil smile, “If you think that you can keep Destiny in the dark, my dear, you are dead wrong!” Clone Evil Sartorius says, putting one card on his duel disk, “I shall play Arcana Force IV-The Emperor in attack mode!” Just then Arcana Force IV (1400/1400) comes to the field in attack mode as the card appears over the head and starts rotating. Clone Evil Sartorius says, with an evil sly grin, “Go ahead, but I already know what the outcome will be.”

 

Yusuke asks, with an angered snarl, “Does this jerk ever shut up?!”

 

Jaden calls out, seriously, “Stop!” Soon after, the card above The Emperor's head stops in the right side up position.

 

Kuwabara yells out, flabbergasted, “Again?!”

 

Clone Evil Sartorius says, with an evil sinister grin, “Well, what do you know? Right side up and now, all Arcana Force monsters gain five hundred extra attack points!” The Emperor's stats rise from 1400/1400 to 1900/1400 while The Chariot's stats rise from 1700/1700 to 2200/1700. Clone Evil Sartorius puts one card in the spell/trap slots and calls out, “Next, I play my Double Summon! This card allows me to summon another monster this turn! So, Arcana Force I, Arise!” Just then Arcana Force I-The Magician (1100/1100-1600/1100) appears on the field in attack mode and the card appears the monster's head and starts to rotate. Clone Evil Sartorius says, with an evil smile, “Well, you get the idea.”

 

Serena thinks in her mind, drolly, “Oh, great. And when I say `Stop', it will land right side up, again!” Serena yells out, “Stop now!” The card slows down, seems to go into the upside down position, but lands in the right side up position. Serena thinks in her mind, annoyed, “How did I know that was going to happen?”

Clone Evil Sartorius says, with an evil smile, “And since The Magician is right side up, it's original attack points are doubled when a spell card is played!” Clone Evil Sartorius puts one card in the spell/trap slots and he says, evilly, “I'll place this face-down and then I'm done!”

 

Jaden says, drawing one card from his deck, “Cool! So, it's my move!” Jaden puts one card in the spell/trap slots and calls out, “I play my E-Emergency Call spell card! Thanks to this card, I get to take one Elemental Hero from my deck and add it to my hand!” Jaden goes through his deck, takes out Elemental Hero Avian (1000/1000) monster card, and returns his deck to his duel disk.

 

Clone Evil Sartorius says, with an evil smile, “Do you think that scares us? And by the way, since you played a spell card, my Magician's original attack points are double!” Just then The Magician's stats rise from 1600/1100 to 2700/1100.

 

Jaden puts one card in the spell/trap slots and he says, with a dark serious tone, “So, it won't matter when I play my Double Fusion spell card! For the price of five hundred life-points, I get two Fusion Summons this turn!”

 

Jaden's and Serena's life-points drop by 500 and Evil Sartorius says, with a scoff, “Oh, please! You give up life-points just to fuse a few monsters!”

 

Jaden discards Elemental Hero Avian (1000/1000) and Elemental Hero Burstinatrix (1200/800) monster cards to the graveyard and calls out, while taking a fusion monster card from his fusion deck, “We'll see what you saw when I fuse my Avian and Burstinatrix to form . . . Elemental Hero Flame Wingman!” Jaden puts the fusion monster card on his duel disk causing the two named monsters appear on the field and go into a fusion vortex, and out of the vortex, Elemental Hero Flame Wingman (2100/1200) comes to the field in attack mode. Jaden then discards his Elemental Hero Sparkman (1600/1400) monster card to the graveyard and declares, while taking out another fusion monster card, “But that's not all, you freak! I fuse my Flame Wingman with my Sparkman to form Elemental Hero Shining Flare Wingman!” Jaden puts the new fusion monster card on his duel disk and Sparkman appears on the field in which he immediately goes into a fusion vortex with Flame Wingman. Out of the fusion vortex, Elemental Hero Shining Flare Wingman (2500/2100) comes to the field in attack mode. Jaden says, seriously, “Now, it's time for some bonus action! You see, space freak, for every hero in our graves, my Flare Wingman gains three hundred attack points and I count four heroes!” Just then Flare Wingman's stats rise from 2500/2100 to 3700/2100! Jaden yells out, “Flare Wingman, take out his Chariot! Shining Emerald Orb!” Flare Wingman leaps into the sky and fires an orb of green energy into the Chariot causing it to be destroyed while the Evil Sartorius twins lose 1500 life-points. Jaden says, with a dark smile, “And that's not all, creep! My Flare Wingman causes you lose life-points equal to the attack power of your Chariot!” Just then Shining Flare Wingman appears in front of Evil Sartorius and he yelps out as Flare Wingman blasts him with light causing him to lose 2200 more life-points.

 

Alexis yells out, excitedly, “Take that!”

 

Yusuke calls out, with a dark sly grin, “Way to go, Jay!”

 

Jaden states, with a dark smirk, “Did you see that coming or have you lost your touch?”

 

However, Evil Sartorius starts to laugh evilly and Rei asks, with a dark annoyed tone, “Did we miss the joke?”

 

Evil Sartorius says, with an evil sly smile, “Ha! You think that you hurt me! You can see now the Light of Destruction . . . lives within you! Did it give you pleasure to hurt me?”

 

Serena says, with a plain tone, “I don't take pleasure in hurting anyone.”

 

Evil Sartorius says, with an evil smile, “Ha! It seemed that way and there in lies my point. The more anger and fury that you gave out, the stronger I become! Humans are nothing, but angry and hateful creatures.”

 

Trista says, with a strong tone, “You are far from knowing the truth about the human heart!”

 

Evil Sartorius says, with an evil smirk, “I disagree. And since your princess is a human, she and Mister Yuki are the same! Angry humans that feed the Light of Destruction.”

 

Kagome asks, annoyed, “Are you done?”

 

Jaden says, plainly, “I switch Bubbleman from attack to defense mode.” Bubbleman then switches from attack to defense mode. Jaden puts one card on his duel disk and calls out, “Next, I summon my Neo-Spacian Air Hummingbird in defense mode!” Just then Neo-Spacian Air Hummingbird (800/600) comes to the field in defense mode. Jaden says, with a dark sly grin, “Next, I play my Air Hummingbird's ability! For every card in your hand, Serena and I gain five hundred more life-points!” The five cards in Evil Sartorius' hand with the two cards in his clone's hand bloom large flowers that Hummingbird sucks out of causing Serena and Jaden to glow green as they gain 3500 life-points. Jaden says, with a dark smirk, “I'll end my turn here.” The Magician's stats then reduce down from 2700/1100 to 1600/1100.

 

Current Score:

Jaden and Serena: 11,500

Two Evil Sartorius: 4300

 

Hikari asks, confused, “Why didn't Jay attack with his Bubbleman?”

 

Zane says, with a dark plain tone, “Jay wanted to prepare for any tricks that this alien freak might have coming.”

 

Kurama says, with a nod, “It is a wise move.”

 

Evil Sartorius says, drawing one card, “My move!” Evil Sartorius puts one card on his duel disk and calls out, “I play my Arcana Force Three also known as The Empress!” Just then Arcana Force III-The Empress (1300/1300-1800/1300) comes to the field in attack mode and the card above its head starts to spin. Evil Sartorius says, with an evil smile, “Well, you get the idea already.”

 

Jaden says, with a dark sigh, “I know! Stop!” The card slows down and stops in the right side up position.

 

Evil Sartorius yells out, in evil glee, “Well, what do you know? Now, Empress, attack his Bubbleman!” Empress then moves in to attack Bubbleman and swipes at him, but his Bubble Blaster is the only thing that got destroyed.

 

Jaden says, with a dark smile, “Sorry, dude, but did you forget my Bubble Blast?! Thanks to it, Bubbleman is just fine.”

 

Evil Sartorius says, putting one card in the spell/trap slots, “Just as I predicted! So, now, I play my Divination of Fate! Since no monsters were destroyed this turn, I get to summon an Arcana Force monster, but it has to be level four or less.” Evil Sartorius puts one card on his duel disk and calls out, “So, Arcana Force Six, arise!” Just then Arcana Force VI-The Lovers (1600/1600-2100/1600) come to the field in defense mode and the card rotates above the monster's head. When Serena declares it to stop, it lands in the right side up position. Evil Sartorius says, with an evil smile, “Well, another card right side up.” Evil Sartorius puts two cards in the spell/trap slots and he says, with an evil sly grin, “I think that I'll end with these cards face-down!”

 

Serena yells out, “Okay, it's my turn!” Serena draws one card from her deck and just then another card comes out of her deck causing Serena to say, “And since it is my Standby Phase, I play my Woodsman's ability! Now, I can add one Polymerization card from my deck to my hand!” Serena pushes a button on her duel disk and calls out, “Now, I play my Rainbow Gravity!” Serena's face-down card is revealed to be the Rainbow Gravity trap card and Serena says, with a dark smile, “This card can only be played when all seven of my Crystal Beast monsters are in my grave! Now, I can summon my Rainbow Dragon from my deck or graveyard ignoring all summoning conditions! And guess what? I have a Rainbow Dragon in my grave! I put him there with my Graceful Charity along with my Amethyst Cat, so, say hello to Rainbow Dragon!” Just then Rainbow Dragon (4000/0) appears on the field in attack mode, much to the awe of the audience. Serena calls out, “Next, it is time to awaken the power of my Neos Alius! You see, my Neos Alius is a Gemini monster and Gemini monsters are countered as Normal monsters until they are turned into Effect monsters, which count as a Normal Summon. So, I activate Neos Alius power!” Just then Neos Alius gives off a rainbow glow and Serena says, with a dark grin, “And now, Neos Alius counts as Elemental Hero Neos as long as remains on the field!”

 

Evil Sartorius tells Serena, “And now, my Empress' power is awakened! Whenever you and Jaden Normal Summons, I get to summon one Arcana Force monster from my hand!” Evil Sartorius puts one card on his duel disk and calls out, “So, I sacrifice my Empress to call this to the field: My Arcana Force Fourteen-The Temperance!” Just then The Empress vanishes as Arcana Force XIV-The Temperance (2400/2400-2900/2400) comes to the field in attack mode. The card appears the monster's head and it rotates, but when Jaden tells it to stop, it lands in the right side up position. Evil Sartorius says, with an evil smile, “Well, as long as my Temperance remains on the field, all Battle Damage that I take is cut in half!”

 

Serena puts one card in the spell/trap slots and calls out, “Fine by me creep! For now, I play Polymerization!” Serena calls out, as she takes a fusion monster card from her deck, “And now, I fuse my Neos Alius and my Rainbow Dragon to summon my greatest monster: Rainbow Neos!” The two named monsters goes into a fusion vortex and Serena puts the fusion monster card on her duel disk causing Rainbow Neos (4500/3000) to takes their place in attack mode with a mighty wind.

 

The two Evil Sartorius say in unison, with evil smile, “Impressive!” On the meanwhile, The Magician's stats rise from 1600/1100 to 2700/1100 once again.

 

Serena calls out, with a dark smile, “If you think that's good, well, you are going to like this! I play my Rainbow Neos' special ability! By sacrificing one monster on my field, Rainbow Neos sends all monsters from your field back to your decks! So, Woodsman is taking a hike!” Elemental Hero Woodsman vanishes from the field.

 

Evil Sartorius says, pushing a button on his duel disk, “I think not! Because I play my Queen's Staff!” Evil Sartorius' face-down card is revealed to be a trap card with a queen with a glowing staff in her hands and it starts to rotate causing Evil Sartorius to say, “This trap activates when an effect of one of your cards effects one of my cards and it has two abilities. Right side up, my cards are safe for this turn. Upside down, all of my cards are destroyed. However, I already know what the result will be and that's right side up.”

 

Serena yells out, “Stop!” The card slows down, looks like it will stop in the upside down position, and then it goes past stopping on the right side up position.

 

Evil Sartorius says, with an evil grin, “Well, it looks like my cards are safe from card effects for the rest of this turn!”

 

Serena cries out, “But not attacks! Rainbow Neos, destroy his Emperor with Rainbow Radiance!” Rainbow Neos then fires a powerful beam of rainbow energy at The Emperor.

 

Evil Sartorius says, pushing a button on his duel disk, “Wrong! I play my Emperor's Staff!” Just then Evil Sartorius' face-down card proves to be the Emperor's Staff trap card and Evil Sartorius says, with an evil smile, “Thanks to this card, all of my cards can't be destroyed this turn! But in return, you get one card from your deck!” Serena and Jaden each draw one card from their decks and Rainbow Neos' attack hits The Emperor, but doesn't destroy him. Evil Sartorius says, with an evil grin, “And thanks to my Temperance, the damage that you would have caused is cut in half! Since you would have caused me twenty-six hundred points of damage, my Temperance reduces it to a mere one thousand three hundred.” The Evil Sartorius twins then lose 1300 life-points.

 

Serena puts one card in the spell/trap slots and she says, “I'll end my turn with one card face-down.”

 

Current Score:

Jaden and Serena: 11,500

Twin Evil Sartorius: 3000

 

Kuwabara yells out, with a dark annoyed tone, “Oh, man! They had that freak!”

 

Kurama says, with a plain tone, “I fear that their edge might come to an end.”

 

Hikari asks, curiously, “What do you mean Kurama?”

 

Lita yells out, excitedly, “Yeah! They have a huge life-point advantage over that jerk!”

 

Zane says, with a dark plain tone, “Life-points aren't everything.”

 

Clone Evil Sartorius draws one card from his deck, puts one card in the spell/trap slots, and calls out, “Now, I play my Cup of Ace!” Just then spell card appears on the field and starts to rotate. When Serena and Jaden declare it to stop, it lands right side up. Clone Evil Sartorius says, drawing two cards from his deck, “Since my spell landed right side up, I get two more cards from my deck!” Clone Evil Sartorius gives a wide evil grin, his Field Spell slot opens up, and he puts a card in it. Clone Evil Sartorius yells out, evilly, “And now, I play my Light Barrier!” Just then an image of a spell card with a picture of The World surrounded by golden light appears Clone Evil Sartorius' head and starts to rotate. Clone Evil Sartorius says, with an evil sly grin, “Like most of our cards, this card's power is determined by the effect! So, let us see what Destiny has in store for us.”

 

Jaden calls out, strongly, “Stop!” Soon after, the card lands on the right side up position.

 

Clone Evil Sartorius yells out, evilly, “Perfect! Now, the Light Barrier will surround us!” Just then a huge rainbow colored barrier surround the whole of the arena while our heroes' and heroines' regain their normal hairstyle and their Duel Academy uniforms return to their usual colors while both Neos become transparent. Clone Evil Sartorius says, with an evil sly grin, “As long as this barrier is up, all non-Arcana Force monsters have their abilities negated!” Serena and Jaden gasp in shock as Shining Flare Wingman's stats go down from 4300/2100 to 2500/2100 and all of Serena's and Jaden's monster look like they are in pain as their abilities are negated.

 

Mindy asks, stunned while looking at herself, “Hey! What's going on?”

 

Lita yells out, stunned, “Our hair and clothes are back to normal!”

 

Clone Evil Sartorius yells out, evilly, “That's right, little fools! As long as this barrier is on the field, the powers of the Darkness of Salvation are useless here!”

 

Serena says, nervously, “That's not good!”

 

Just then Jaden spots the two Neos and he yells out, shocked, “Neos!”

 

Evil Sartorius says, with an evil sly smile, “You might have not summoned your Neos to the field, but they are still powerless!”

 

Neos says, weakly, “Jaden . . . He's right . . . This barrier . . . is . . . draining our power . . .”

 

Mina states, worriedly, “What's stopping him from getting the keys?”

 

Evil Sartorius yells out, with an evil sinister smile, “The answer is: Nothing!” Just then Evil Sartorius fires a beam of sickly white energy that grabs Serena's and Jaden's keys.

 

Yusuke yells out, angrily, “Hey! That's cheating!”

 

Evil Sartorius says, with an evil smile, “Who said that I played fair? Now, it is time my prince!” Just then Evil Sartorius launches the keys into the air and everyone looks to see Prince Ojin, his eyes dull and lifeless, catch the keys.

 

Prince Ojin says, with a cold emotionless tone, “Yes, Master.”

 

Syrus yells out, stunned, “That's Prince Ojin!”

 

Zane says, with a dark plain tone, “Completely under the Light of Destruction's control.” Prince Ojin turns to leave, but his assistant, Linda, stops him.

 

Linda says, with a serious tone, “My prince! Please fight his control!”

 

Evil Sartorius says, his eyes glowing an evil purple and with a deep demonic-like tone, “Be silent, woman!” Linda the clutches her chest in pain and she collapses to the ground into unconsciousness. Prince Ojin then continues to head for the door, but then Inuyasha and Melody stop them.

 

Inuyasha says, with a snort, “Hey, pal, where do you think you are going with those?”

 

Evil Sartorius yells out, his eyes glowing an evil purple and an angered tone, “Get out of the way, you worthless half-breeds!” Just then Inuyasha and Melody are flung through the air by a blast of telekinetic force and they slam into the nearby wall, hard, causing them to be knocked senseless for the time being.

 

Kagome yells out, horrified, “Inuyasha!” Just then Prince Ojin runs off into the distance while our heroes and heroines, minus Serena and Jaden, go over to the fallen Linda, Inuyasha, and Melody, but Melody and Inuyasha quickly regain their senses and manage to get to their feet. Kagome asks Inuyasha, concerned, “Inuyasha, are you okay?”

 

Inuyasha says, plainly, “Yeah! I'll be fine! It will take a lot more than that to take me down!”

 

Melody says, with a snarl, “Damn! That rotten alien jerk is no joke!”

 

Shippo tells Melody, “We tried to warn you, Melody.”

 

With Linda in Tyranno's and Lita's arms, Mindy asks, concerned, “Is she . . .?”

 

Ami says, shaking her head, “No. She is just knocked unconsciousness for the moment.”

 

Keiko says, with a serious tone, “We've got to get back those keys and those controls fast!”

 

Serena yells out, “Everyone! Get those controls! Jaden and I will take care of things here!”

 

Rei calls out, stunned, “What?! Leave you with that freak?! Are you crazy Meatball Head?”

 

Jaden says, with a smile, “Serena and I will be okay! Just get those controls!”

 

Trista says, with a serious tone, “We don't have time to argue. We need to believe in them and we have to focus on getting those controls.”

 

Hikari tells Alexis and Darien, “I think that the two of you should stay here to give them support. The rest of us can take care of that jerk.”

 

Alexis asks, concerned, “Are you sure?”

 

Jasmine says, with a sly grin, “Don't worry, Lex! This jerk won't be too hard!”

 

Darien says, with a nod, “Good luck.”

 

Kuwabara says, with a sly grin, “We won't need it!” Immediately, the rest of our heroes and heroines, minus Darien and Alexis, run off to catch up with the brainwashed Prince Ojin.

 

Evil Sartorius tells Serena and Jaden, with an evil smile, “No matter what your little friends do, there is nothing can stop Destiny! It has begun! Soon, the whole world shall bow down before the Light of Destruction!” Evil Sartorius laughs evilly as the Light of Destruction takes form above him while Jaden and Serena stare it down with determined looks on their faces.

 

(In the hallways of Duel Academy; A short time soon after)

 

In the hallways of Duel Academy, we find Prince Ojin with the keys to the controls of the satellite and briefcase containing those controls in his hands running down the hallways of Duel Academy followed by the group of our heroes and heroines running behind him.

 

As they continue to run, Syrus says, amazed, “Man! For someone under mind-control, he can run real fast!”

 

Kurama says, with a serious tone, “The Light of Destruction might have enhanced his physical abilities beyond regular humans.”

 

Amara says, with a serious tone, “It doesn't matter. We need to catch him and stop him before he activates that satellite.”

 

Soon enough, Seira notices that they had their `dark looks' back and she says, “Hey. If you guys hadn't noticed, you have gone like me, again.” As they continued to run, the heroes and heroines look themselves over.

 

Michelle says, with a plain tone, “I guess that when we are outside of that field, the negation of the Darkness of Salvation's powers is gone.”

 

Hiei says, plainly, “However, the Moon Princess and her brother don't have that advantage until they take down that Light Barrier.”

 

Yusuke thinks in his mind, “Jay, you and Serena better be careful in there.”

 

(A brief time later; Back in Obelisk Arena)

 

Returning to Obelisk Arena, we find Serena and Jaden facing off against the twin Evil Sartorius in their duel for the `fate' of the planet Earth and the universe. It is still Clone Evil Sartorius' turn and he puts one card on his duel disk.

 

Clone Evil Sartorius says, with an evil smile, “Now, I sacrifice my partner's The Lovers and since it is face-up, its ability allows me to count them as two sacrifice since I'm summoning an Arcana Force monster! So, I call forth Arcana Force Twenty-One-The World!” Just then The Lovers vanish as Arcana Force XXI-The World (3100/3100-3600/3100) comes to the field in attack mode, but when the card appears above the monster's head, it immediately goes into the right side up position!

 

Serena calls out, stunned, “What the?! Hey, what's the deal?!”

 

Clone Evil Sartorius says, with an evil smile, “The `deal' is this: As long as my Light Barrier remains on the field, I get to choose the position that my Arcana Force monsters are in!”

 

Jaden says, drolly, “Wonderful!”

 

Clone Evil Sartorius says, putting one card in the spell/trap slots, “Next, I play my Pump Up spell card! This card doubles the power of my monster for one turn! Plus, since I play my Light Barrier spell, The Magician already had its power doubled!” The World's stats rise from 3600/3100 to 7200/3100! Clone Evil Sartorius calls out, “Now, The World, destroy her ultimate monster!” The World fires a laser beam into Rainbow Neos and he cries as he is destroyed costing Serena and Jaden 2700 life-points. Clone Evil Sartorius says, with an evil sinister grin, “Plus, when my monsters destroy yours in battle, I get a boost! My life-points increase equal to the original attack points of your destroyed monster.” Just then both Evil Sartorius' life-points increase by 4500 more points. Clone Evil Sartorius says, with an evil smile, “Now, Magician, destroy her Stratos!” Just then The Magician, stats begin 2700/1100, attack Elemental Hero Stratos, destroying it, and costing Serena and Jaden another 900 life-points while both Evil Sartorius' life-points increase by 1800 more life-points. Clone Evil Sartorius yells out, “And finally, my Emperor will take out your Bubbleman!” The Emperor attacks Bubbleman, destroys him, and Evil Sartorius and his clone's life-points increase by another 800 points.

 

Jaden says, stunned, “Bubbleman!”

 

Clone Evil Sartorius yells out, with an evil sly grin, “But that's not all! When my End Phase arrives, I play my World's special ability! By sacrificing two monsters, your turn is skipped!”

 

Serena and Jaden yells out, shocked, “What?!” Just then The Magician and The Temperance vanish from the field as The World gives off a bright glow while its stats go back down from 7200/3100 to 3600/3100.

 

Evil Sartorius says, with an evil smile, “My turn is skipped as well, but it is worth it for another attack.”

 

Clone Evil Sartorius shouts out, after drawing one card from his deck, “Arcana Force Twenty-One, attack Shining Flare Wingman!” The World attacks Shining Flare Wingman and he is destroying causing Jaden and Serena to cry while losing 1100 life-points. Clone Evil Sartorius says, with an evil smile, “We'll take his points, too.” Just then the two Evil Sartorius have their life-points increase by another 2500 life-points. Clone Evil Sartorius says, with an evil sly grin, “And finally, my Emperor will take care of your Air Hummingbird.” The Emperor takes out Air Hummingbird and it cries out as he is destroyed, but since he was in defense mode, Jaden and Serena doesn't life-points.

 

Jaden cries out, shocked, “Hummingbird!”

 

Clone Evil Sartorius says, with an evil sinister smile, “His power lost will be mine gained.” The two Sartorius have their life-points increase by another 800 points. Clone Evil Sartorius says, with an evil sly grin, “I think that's enough for now.”

 

Current Score:

Jaden and Serena: 6800

Twin Evil Sartorius: 13,400

 

Alexis says, stunned, “This isn't good. They've totally turned this duel around. Not only have Jaden and Serena lost their best monsters, but those freaks have far more life-points, thanks to that Light Barrier.”

 

Darien thinks in his mind, “Come on, Sere'. I know that you can do this!”

 

Jaden draws one card from his deck and calls out, “It's my move!”

 

(Sometime soon after; Outside of Duel Academy's main building)

 

Outside of Duel Academy's main building, we find Prince Ojin running into the woods while the rest of our heroes and heroines exit out of the doors leading into Duel Academy's main educational building.

 

Jasmine asks, perplexed, “What the?! Where did he go?”

 

Rei says, pointing in the direction that he went to, “That way! I can sense the Light of Destruction's aura that way!” Immediately, our heroes and heroines take off after Prince Ojin, which by this time, quickly stop in a clearing hidden by bushes and immediately open the briefcase in which he puts the three keys inside activating the controls.

 

Prince Ojin says, with a cold smirk, “It's show time.” He activates the satellite immediately.

 

(At this moment; in orbit around the Earth)

 

In Earth's orbit, we look at the Misgarth mind-control satellite as it roars to life and begin charging up as it prepares to unleash the wave of mind-control waves all over the planet.

 

(Back on Earth; Returning to Prince Ojin)

 

Back with the mind-controlled Prince Ojin, we find him smiling evilly as he watches the progress of the mind-control satellite.

 

Just then a male voice yells out, “Hands off those controls!” Prince Ojin looks only to get plastered by Kuwabara's right fist and sending him flying off to the side while Ami and Kurama immediately get their hands on the controls.

 

Kurama says, worriedly, “Oh no!”

 

Keiko asks, worriedly, “What is it?”

 

Ami says, worriedly, “We're too late! The satellite has been activated!”

 

Many of our heroes and heroines gasp as Bastion comes to the aid of Ami and Kurama and Lita asks, worriedly, “Can't you stop it?”

 

Bastion says, shaking his head, “No. Once the satellite has been activated, there is no way to reverse it.”

 

Just then Prince Ojin, with bruise from Kuwabara's punch on his left cheek, says, with an evil smile, “There is no way that you can stop us now. The world shall belong to the Light soon enough.”

 

Yusuke says, with a dark sneer, “Is that so, huh? Let's see about that!”

 

Kagome says, activating her duel disk, “Yusuke, don't let me take care of him!”

 

Hikari asks, concerned, “Are you sure about this? His satellite deck can be quite the problem. Do you want to duel him?”

 

Kagome says, with a nod, “Yeah! We already lost our duels and if Serena and Jaden, Yusuke might be the only chance left!”

 

Hikari says, with a plain tone, “Well, technically, Sartorius or that alien freak controlling him is out of the tournament.”

 

Kagome says, a bit nervously, “That's a good point.”

 

Trista says, with a plain tone, “However, I think that it is wise that a `Chosen Duelist' faces Prince Ojin.”

 

Prince Ojin says, with an evil sly grin, “Do you really think that you can beat me? I have the power of the Light of Destruction by my side!”

 

Kagome says, with a dark serious tone, “We'll see about that buddy!” Soon after, one of the others throws Prince Ojin a duel disk, which he catches.

 

Mindy yells out, with a dark annoyed tone, “And we hope that you choke on it, dork!” Soon after, Prince Ojin attaches the duel disk to his left wrist, puts in his dueling deck inside, and he activates his duel disk. Kagome reshuffles her deck, puts her deck back in her duel disk, and activates her duel disk. Their life-point counters displays 4000 life-points each as they draw five cards from their decks.

 

Prince Ojin and Kagome yell out in unison, “Game on!”

 

Starting Scores:

Kagome: 4000

Prince Ojin: 4000

 

As their duel begins, Inuyasha thinks in his mind, “You better damn well win, Kagome!”

 

(Returning to Obelisk Arena; A short time soon after)

 

In Obelisk Arena, we return to the duel between Serena and Jaden against Evil Sartorius and his clone with the Light of Destruction gaining the advantage over Serena and Jaden thanks to their Light Barrier Field Spell, which not only negated the powers of Jaden's and Serena's monsters, but the powers of the Darkness of Salvation have been taken away as well. However, it is Jaden's turn and he prepares to play his next card.

 

Jaden puts one card on his duel disk and calls out, “I summon my Neo-Spacian Aqua Dolphin in defense mode!” Just then Neo-Spacian Aqua Dolphin (600/800) appears on the field in defense mode, but he then winches in pain. Jaden asks him, “What's wrong?”

 

Aqua Dolphin tells Jaden, “I'm afraid that it is his Light Barrier. My power is drained.”

 

Evil Sartorius says, with an evil grin, “And it serves him right. He should have remained in his home. This world is mine.”

 

Jaden puts one card in the spell/trap slots and he says, “We'll see about that. I place one card face-down and end my turn!”

 

Evil Sartorius says, drawing one card from his deck, “Nothing much you can do. My move!” Evil Sartorius puts one card on his duel disk and calls out, “I summon my Knight of Pentacles!” Just then Knight of Pentacles (1000/1000) comes to the field in defense mode.

 

Serena says, with a dark plain tone, “Since it isn't an Arcana Force monster, you can't any of its abilities.”

 

Evil Sartorius says, with an evil smile, “That's why I choose to end my turn without playing anything else.”

 

Serena says, drawing one card from her deck, “It's my move!”

Evil Sartorius says, with an evil smile, “Nothing much you can do, my dear!”

 

Serena puts one card on her duel disk and yells out, “Don't count on it! I play my Elemental Hero Voltech in attack mode!” Just then Elemental Hero Voltech (1000/1500) comes to the field in attack mode, but groans in pain as its special ability is negated. Serena puts one card on in the spell/trap slots and yells out, “Next, I play my Voltech Spear spell card! Thanks to this card, since this card is given to my Voltech, its attack points are increase by one thousand attack points!” Elemental Hero Voltech's stats rise from 1000/1500 to 2000/1500 and Serena yells out, “Voltech, take out his Emperor! Voltech Thunder!” Elemental Hero Voltech blasts The Emperor with a powerful blast, destroying it, and costing the Evil Sartorius twin one hundred life-points while The World's stats reduce from 3600/3100 to 3100/3100. Serena says, with a sly grin, “By the way, you should remember your own cards well since you Light Barrier also help us since we destroyed your monster!” Just then Serena's and Jaden's life-points increase by 1400 more life-points. Serena puts one card in the spell/trap slots and she says, “Next, I play my Mischief of the Time Goddess! This spell card allows me to skip your turns and come back to my Battle Phase! So, Voltech, take out Knight of Pentacles!” Just then Voltech fires its attack again that slams into Knight of Pentacles and destroying it, but since it was in defense mode, the twin Evil Sartorius don't lose any life-points while Serena's and Jaden's life-points increase by 1000 more points. Serena says, with a plain tone while putting one card in the spell/trap slots, “I'll end my turn.”

 

Current Score:

Jaden and Serena: 9200

Twin Evil Sartorius: 13,300

 

Clone Evil Sartorius says, with an evil smile while drawing a card, “Impressive, but not good enough.” Just then the Light Barrier card starts to rotate and he says, evilly, “Now, during my Standby Phase, the card rotates, again, but if it lands right side up, nothing happens. However, if it is upside down, my barrier is gone. However, I know that my barrier won't go anywhere.” Jaden and Serena declare the card to stop and it lands right side up like Clone Evil Sartorius said it would. Clone Evil Sartorius says, putting one card in the spell/trap slots, “With that done, I play my Card of Sanctity! This card allows all of us to draw from our decks until we have six cards in our hands!” All four duelists then draw from their decks until they have six cards in their hands. Clone Evil Sartorius says, putting one card in the spell/trap slots, “First, I play my Monster Reborn! This brings back an old friend!” Just then Arcana Force IV-The Emperor (1400/1400) returns to the field in attack mode while the card appears over its head and goes into the right side up position. Clone Evil Sartorius says, with an evil smile, “And since my Field Spell is still in play, my monster shall be right side up giving all Arcana Force monsters an extra five hundred attack points!” The Emperor's stats rise from 1400/1400 to 1900/1400 while The World's stats rise from 3100/3100 to 3600/3100. Clone Evil Sartorius puts one card in the spell/trap slots and he says, “Next, I play my Arcanatic Doomscythe! With this card, I send one Arcana Force monster from my deck to my graveyard!” Clone Evil Sartorius takes out his deck, takes one card from it, puts his deck back into his duel disk, and discards Arcana Force VIII-The Strength (1800/1800) monster card to the graveyard. Clone Evil Sartorius yells out, strongly, “And now, I attack Arcana Force Twenty-One, destroy her Voltech now!” The World launches a beam of energy that totally obliterates Voltech.

 

Serena pushes a button on her duel disk and yells out, “I play my trap card: Hero's Aura!” Just then Serena's face-down card is revealed to be a trap card with a picture of a person getting protected by the spirit of Neos. Serena says, with a serious tone, “Thanks to this card, when an Elemental Hero with two thousand attack points or higher gets destroyed, this card prevents all Battle Damage for the remainder of the turn!”

 

Clone Evil Sartorius says, with an evil sly grin, “But thanks to my Arcanatic Doomscythe! You lose life-points equal the attack points of the monster that I just destroyed!” Serena and Jaden gasp as the card sends waves of energy at the two of them and they cry out as they lose 2000 life-points. Clone Evil Sartorius says, with an evil smile, “And thanks to my Field Spell, I gain one grand in the life-points.” The twin Evil Sartorius' life-points increase by 1000 more points. Clone Evil Sartorius calls out, with an evil sly smile, “And since I can't damage you directly, I'll attack Aqua Dolphin! Arcana Force Four, destroy Jaden's Aqua Dolphin!” Immediately, Arcana Force IV attacks Aqua Dolphin and he cries out as he is destroyed.

 

Jaden calls out, shocked, “Aqua Dolphin!”

 

Evil Sartorius yells out, evilly, “And now, you and Miss Tsukino lose 600 life-points!” Just Jaden and Serena cry out as they are hit by cutting waves and they lose 600 life-points. Evil Sartorius then says, with an evil smile, “And we shall gain his points too.” The twin Evil Sartorius glow as their life-points by 600 more points.

 

Clone Evil Sartorius says, putting one card in the spell/trap slots, “I think that's enough for now.”

 

Current Score:

Jaden and Serena: 5600

Twin Evil Sartorius: 14,900

 

Alexis says, stunned, “That alien freak and his clone have nearly fifteen thousand life-points!”

 

Jaden draws one card from his deck and yells out, “I play my O-Oversoul spell card! This card allows me to bring back one hero and I choose my Sparkman!” Just then Elemental Hero Sparkman (1600/1400) comes to the field in attack mode. Jaden puts one card in the spell/trap slots and calls out, “Next, I play my H-Heated Heart spell card! This card gives my hero another five hundred-points!” Sparkman's stats rise from 1600/1400 to 2100/1400 and Jaden calls out, “Okay, Sparky, get rid of his Emperor!” Sparkman attacks The Emperor and destroys it, costing the two Evil Sartorius 200 life-points while The World's stats reduce down from 3600/3100 to 3100/3100 and Jaden's and Serena's life-points increase by 1400 more points. Jaden puts four cards in the spell/trap slots and he says, “I'll end with four face-downs and end my turn!” Sparkman's stats then reduce from 2100/1400 to 1600/1400 since the effect of H-Heated Heart spell card has ended.

 

Current Score:

Jaden and Serena: 7000

Twin Evil Sartorius: 14,700

 

Evil Sartorius says, with an evil smile while drawing a card, “Not bad. My move.”

 

Jaden pushes a button on his duel disk and calls out, “Sorry, bro! But I play my Thunder of a Ruler trap card!” Jaden's face-down card is revealed to be the Thunder of a Ruler trap card and Jaden says, with a sly smile, “Thanks to this card, you can't attack this turn!”

 

Alexis says, with a smile, “Great work, Jay!”

 

Evil Sartorius then displays a spell card with a king with a large shield in front of him as an energy attack rains down on him and he says, putting the card in the spell/trap slots, “Now, I play my King of Shields spell card! For this one turn, all Arcana Force monsters are protected from destruction by spell, trap, and monster card effects!”

 

Serena asks, perplexed, “What's the point of that?”

Evil Sartorius says, with an evil smile while putting a card in the spell/trap slots, “It will be become clear when I play my Deepest Impact spell card! With this card, all monsters on the field are now destroyed and our life-points are cut in half!” Just then rains of meteors comes down from the skies, destroying Elemental Hero Sparkman, and the two teams have their team life-points are cut in half, but Arcana Force XXI-The World remains. Evil Sartorius says, with an evil smile, “Thanks to my King of Shields spell, The World is safe from my spell card even through our life-points are still cut in half!” Evil Sartorius says, putting one card on his duel disk, “Then I play my Arcana Force Zero-The Fool in attack mode!” Just then Arcana Force 0-The Fool (0/0) comes to the field in attack mode and the card above its head goes into the upside down position.

 

Darien asks, curiously, “Why did he summon that monster? And why did he put it upside down?”

 

Evil Sartorius says, with an evil smile, “Well, my Fool can't be destroyed in battle and when it is upside down, my opponents can't target it with an effect of any kind and any card that does so is destroyed.”

 

Serena says, seriously, “But since it is in attack mode, we can still damage you.”

 

Evil Sartorius then puts in a spell card displaying a picture using a shield against a dragon and he says, evilly, “I play my Knight of Shields spell card! Now, all Arcana Force monsters are switched to defense mode and can't be switched back for this turn!” Just then The Fool and The World switch from attack to defense mode.

 

Alexis says, stunned, “Oh no! And since that monster can't be destroyed in battle and targeting effects have no effect, it is like the ultimate shield!”

 

Evil Sartorius says, putting one card in the spell/trap slots, “That's right, my dear! And that's why I am destined to win! I shall end my turn!”

 

Current Score:

Jaden and Serena: 3500

Twin Evil Sartorius: 7350

 

Serena draws one card from her deck and calls out, “It's my move!” Serena puts one card in the spell/trap slots and calls out, “I play my Convert Contact! Since I have no monster on the field, I can send one Neo-Spacian from my deck and one from my hand to the graveyard!” Serena takes out her deck, takes out one card from her deck, puts her deck back in her duel disk, and then discards Neo-Spacian Flare Scarab (500/500) monster card from her deck and Neo-Spacian Grand Mole (900/300) from her hand. Serena says, while drawing two cards from her deck, “Then I get two more cards from my deck!” Serena puts one card in the spell/trap slots and she says, “One card face-down.” Serena then puts another card on her duel disk and calls out, “Hero Ocean in defense mode!” Just then Elemental Hero Ocean (1500/1200) appears on the field in defense mode, but he groans out in pain as his special ability is negated. Serena says, with a plain tone, “I end my turn.” Serena looks at her nearby face-down card that she put one the field earlier in the duel and thinks, “I'm counting on you!”

 

Clone Evil Sartorius says, drawing one card, “Not much you can do since I know everything about this duel.” As the card for Light Barrier starts to rotate again, he says, evilly, “Like this card for example, it will land right side up. So, fulfill Destiny's path and make the card stop.”

 

Jaden and Serena say in unison, “Stop.” Shortly thereafter, the card stops, but it stops in the upside down position, surprising a lot of people especially both Evil Sartorius twins.

 

Both of them yell out, shocked, “Upside down?!”

 

Clone Evil Sartorius says, stunned, “It can't be . . .” Soon after, the barrier fades away from the field.

 

Jaden says, with a sly smile, “Well, what do you know? It looks like that `Destiny' is more unpredictable than you thought.”

 

Serena says, with a smile, “What you call `Destiny' is forged from the choices that we make and the paths that we have chosen. Talk like that might get you some ways, but in the end, Freedom and Choice will conquer all.”

 

Clone Evil Sartorius yells out, annoyed, “Oh, really?! I shall switch The World to attack mode!” Just then The World switches to attack mode and Clone Evil Sartorius yells out, angrily, “Arcana Force Twenty-One, attack Jaden directly!” Arcana Force XXI then fires a laser beam right at Jaden.

 

Alexis yells out, worriedly, “Jaden!”

 

Serena pushes a button on her duel disk and calls out, “Activate trap: Shift!” Serena's face-down card is revealed to be the Shift trap card and Serena says, with a smile, “This card redirects your attack from Jay to my Ocean!” Just then The World's attack is diverted into Ocean and he is destroyed, but since he is defense mode, Jaden and Serena don't lose any life-points.

 

Evil Sartorius says, with an evil smile, “Ha! It doesn't matter! You shall all fall soon enough . . .!”

 

Just then Jaden pushes a button on his duel disk and calls out, interrupting, “Go! Hero Counterattack!” Everyone's attention is diverted as another of Jaden's face-down card is revealed to be the Hero Counterattack trap card and Jaden says, with a smile, “Since you destroyed a Hero monster, you have to choose one card from my hand and if it is a Hero monster, I get to summon it! Oh, by the way, one of your monsters hits the road!” Jaden then displays the only card in his hand and he says, with a smile, “And I've got some really bad news! Since I'm holding only one card, you've got to choose it!” Jaden then displays the card to be Elemental Hero Neos (2500/2000) monster card and the two Evil Sartorius gasp in shock as Jaden calls out, strongly, “So, there goes your World!” Just then the World explodes as it is destroyed and Jaden calls out, as he puts his card on his duel disk, “So, come on out Elemental Hero Neos!” Just then Elemental Hero Neos (2500/2000) appears on the field in attack mode.

 

Neos tells Jaden, “Jaden, you need to destroy his Field Spell! Only then I can use my powers to help stop the satellite!”

 

Evil Sartorius yells out, angrily, “Foolish child! The fate of this world and these people has already been written!”

 

Jaden draws one card from his deck and yells out, “We'll see about that, bro! My move!” Jaden puts one card on his duel disk and calls out, “Now, I summon my Neo-Spacian Glow Moss in attack mode!” Just then Neo-Spacian Glow Moss (300/900) comes to the field in attack mode. Jaden yells out, “And now, Neos! Glow Moss! Use Contact Fusion to create . . .!” Just then the outer space theme appears in the sky, the two monsters leap into the sky, and the two of them combine in a bright light while Jaden takes out a fusion monster card from his fusion deck. Jaden puts the fusion monster card on his duel disk and yells out, “. . . Elemental Hero Glow Neos!” Out of the bright light, Elemental Hero Glow Neos (2500/2000) comes to the field in attack mode. Jaden says, with a smile, “And thanks to my Glow Neos' ability, every Main Phase, he can destroy one card on your field and the card he destroys determines his power!” Evil Sartorius and his clone gasp in shock and Jaden says, with a sly grin, “That's right. I'm aiming right for your Field Spell! Glow Neos, do your stuff!” Glow Neos fires a sphere of energy right at the Light Barrier and destroys it in a huge explosion. Jaden says, with a smile, “And now, for that ability, he gets to attack you directly! Neos, take him out!” Just then Glow Neos charges right in and bashes Evil Sartorius hard in the chest causing him to lose 2500 life-points. Jaden says, with a plain tone, “And with that, I end my turn and Glow Neos returns to my deck!” Just then a beam of energy goes into Jaden's fusion deck, but an image of Glow Neos remains.

 

Glow Neos tells Jaden and Serena, “I shall aid the others to stop the satellite.” Soon after, Glow Neos turns into a beam of light and vanishes through the ceiling of the arena while Serena and Jaden continue their battle against the two Evil Sartorius.

 

Current Score:
Jaden and Serena: 3500

Twin Evil Sartorius: 4850

 

(Back outside; A short time soon after)

 

Returning back outside, we find Prince Ojin's smoking form collapse to the ground as his life-points become zero while the rest of our heroes and heroines witness from the sidelines. With the end of the duel, Kagome de-activates her duel disk and breathes a sigh of relief.

 

Kagome says, with a plain tone, “That's done.”

 

Hikari says, with a serious tone, “Well, we've still got that satellite to worry about.”

 

Lita asks Ami, worriedly, “Ami, do you, Bastion, and Kurama having something that we can do?”

 

Ami says, solemnly, “No. We can't stop it from here.”

 

Tyranno says, looking up into the sky, “Well, we've got to find another way to get rid of it! We've got to get off our feet and take care of that satellite!” Just then Tyranno gives a powerful cry as his body gives out a powerful rainbow aura and his transformed states in the virtual world appears in spirit form around him with a mighty Tyrannosaurs type roar.

 

The others are shocked and Yusuke yells out, perplexed, “Whoa! What the heck is going on here?!” Just then a glowing light comes towards them and takes the form of Elemental Hero Glow Neos.

 

Kuwabara asks, perplexed, “Who the heck is that?”

 

Kagome says, amazed, “It looks like one of Serena's and Jaden's outer space monsters.”

 

Bastion says, seriously, “Elemental Hero Glow Neos!”

 

Glow Neos says, with a nod, “Yes. The battle between the Light of Destruction and the children of Queen Serenity has turned in favor of Queen Serenity's children, but they have a long way to go.” Glow Neos looks at Tyranno and his `spirit form' and he says, “Your hidden power has awoken within you. You can probably aid in the destruction of that satellite, but you must leave your human form behind.” Just then Glow Neos sends a wave of energy into Tyranno's spirit form and giving it solid form as well as lifting it into the air while Tyranno's physical form collapses to the ground.

 

Lita yells out, shocked, “Hassleberry!”

 

Glow Neos says, with a plain tone, “Don't worry. He will be all right. And if you wish to make sure . . .” Just then Glow Neos sends aura all over the group and then Yusuke, Hikari, Jasmine, Mindy, Ami, Mina, Lita, Rei, Hotaru, Amara, Michelle, Trista, Kagome, Seira, and Melody turn into their Senshi forms while Inuyasha transforms into Taigoku as well. And all of them are surrounded in rainbow energy spheres.

 

Eternal Sailor Mars asks, perplexed, “What the?”

 

Valkyrie Sailor Star says, stunned, “We're in some kind of energy orbs.”

 

Valkyrie Sailor Big Bang says, annoyed, “Obviously, wench!”

 

Glow Neos says, with a serious tone, “All of us are needed at the satellite.” Soon enough, the group rises into the air while the others watched in awe.

 

Tyranno, in his `spirit form', yells out, amazed, “Dino-mite!”

 

Kuwabara yells out, stunned, “Whoa!”

 

Chazz thinks in his mind, “This is getting too weird even for this school!”

 

(In the reaches of outer space; A short time soon after)

 

Nearing Earth's orbit, we find our heroes and heroines being led by Glow Neos and Tyranno, in his `Dino Spirit Form', flying up into space.

 

Sailor Libra asks, a bit nervously, “Is it me or all of us are in outer space?”

 

Valkyrie Sailor Eclipse says, with a plain tone, “We have stars all around us, planet Earth below us, and satellite surrounding us. Yeah, it is obvious that we are in outer space.”

 

Taigoku yells out, stunned, “We are out in the stars?! Geez!”

 

Valkyrie Sailor Star says, with a smile, “Don't worry, Inuyasha. We will be okay.”

 

Sailor Galaxy says, nervously, “Well, we are only surviving in these energy spheres created by this guy.”

 

Glow Neos says, with a serious tone, “Do not worry. Your powers will support the energy spheres even if I am gone.”

 

Sailor Venus says, with a sigh of relief, “That's good news.”

 

Sailor Uranus says, pointing towards the satellite, “There's the satellite!” Everyone then looks to see the satellite preparing to launch its attack towards Earth.

 

Glow Neos says, with a serious tone, “We don't have much time! Let's go!”

 

Tyranno yells out, with a sly tone, “Demolition time!” Soon after, our heroes and heroines immediately head towards the satellite with the intent of taking it down.

 

(Back at Obelisk Arena; A brief time soon after)

 

Returning to Obelisk Arena, we find the audience in awe of Jaden's last attack with Elemental Hero Glow Neos as Evil Sartorius starts to recover from the attack with an angry look on his face as he and his clone gain a powerful sickly white glow while Jaden, Serena, Darien, and Alexis regain their `dark looks' from the powers of the Darkness of Salvation since the Light Barrier is gone.

 

Evil Sartorius yells out, angrily, “Enough of your games!” Jaden and Serena winch from the evil aura from the possessed divine and his clone and Evil Sartorius says, strongly while drawing one card from his deck, “It's time that you saw the Light!” Evil Sartorius says, with an evil smile while putting a card on his duel disk, “Ha! It is just as I predicted: The future is mine!” Evil Sartorius puts the card on his duel disk and calls out, “I play my Arcana Force One-The Magician in attack mode!” Just then Arcana Force I-The Magician (1100/1100) comes to the field in attack mode and the card above its head starts to rotate. When Jaden and Serena tell the card to stop, the card stops in the right side up position. Evil Sartorius says, with an evil grin, “You see, you are just a puppet, but now, it is time to cut your strings! Direct Attack!” Just then The Magician vanishes from view and Jaden and Serena look for it everywhere.

 

Serena asks, perplexed, “Where did he go?” Just then Serena and Jaden look behind them and they cry out as they are hit with a blast of energy from The Magician causing both of them to lose 1100 life-points.

 

When The Magician's attack stops, it returns to Evil Sartorius' side and he asks, with an evil sinister grin, “Care to submit?”

 

Jaden says, with a dark serious tone, “Nope!”

 

Evil Sartorius says, with an evil smile, “You are more foolish than I thought! Conquering this world shall be easier than I thought!”

 

Current Score:

Jaden and Serena: 2400

Twin Evil Sartorius: 4850

 

Serena drawing one card from her deck and calls out, “I don't think so! It's my turn!” Serena puts one card in the spell/trap slots and exclaims, “First, I play my Graceful Charity spell card! This card allows me to draw three more cards as long as I discard two!” Serena draws three cards from her deck, discards Elemental Hero Neos (2500/2000) and Neo-Spacian Dark Panther (1000/100) monster cards from her graveyard, and she thinks, “Okay, five down and one more to go!” Serena puts one card in the spell/trap slots and calls out, “I play my Monster Reborn! This card allows me to revive one card from the graveyard and I choose my Elemental Hero Neos!” Just then Elemental Hero Neos (2500/2000) appears on the field in attack mode.

 

Evil Sartorius says, with an evil smile, “And thanks to your first spell, my Magician has its power double!” Just then The Magician's stats rise up from 1100/1100 to 2200/1100.

 

Serena puts one card in the spell/trap slots and yells out, with a wide smile, “Not for long! I play another spell card! Since you always seem to cheat with that White Veil, let me show you what real light can do with my Rainbow Veil spell card!”

 

The two Evil Sartorius, Darien, Alexis, and Jaden give looks of surprise and Alexis and Darien say in unison, surprised, “Rainbow Veil?!” Just then a rainbow aura appears around Elemental Hero Neos.

 

Evil Sartorius asks, perplexed, “What does that do?!”

 

Serena yells out, strongly, “You are about to find out pal! Neos, attack his Fool!” Just then Elemental Hero Neos rushes right The Fool.

 

Evil Sartorius says, with an evil smile, “You must have gone insane! My Fool can't be destroyed in battle!”

 

Serena says, with a sly smile, “Expect that my Rainbow Veil negates all of your monster abilities during the Battle Phase as long as this card and my Neos remain on the field!”

 

The two Evil Sartorius gasp in shock and they cry out in unison, “No!” Just then Neos bashes Arcana Force 0 and thanks to Rainbow Veil, it is destroyed since its ability has been negated.

 

Jaden says, with a smile, “Awesome, Serena!”

 

Serena says, with a wider grin while putting another card in the spell/trap slots, “But that's not all! I play Dark Spell Regeneration! With this spell, I can use any spell card in the grave for one turn and I choose Mischief of the Time Goddess!”

 

Both Evil Sartorius cry out in horror, “No!”

 

Serena says, with a wide smile on her lips, “Now, let's how you like your turn skipped! And now, Neos, attack this jerk's doppelganger right now!” Just then Elemental Hero Neos mores in to attack Clone Evil Sartorius and he bashes him hard causing him and the original Evil Sartorius to lose 2500 life-points. Serena says, putting one card in the spell/trap slots, “I think that's enough damage for one turn. So, I'll end for now.”

 

Current Score:

Jaden and Serena: 2400

Twin Evil Sartorius: 2350

 

Darien thinks in his mind, with a proud smile, “I knew that you could do it, Serena. You have come a long way since you early days as Sailor Moon.”

 

Serena says, with a slight taunting tone, “Well, look what we have here. Aren't you supposed to win? I keep wondering why Jaden and I are winning right now.”

 

Clone Evil Sartorius yells out, angrily, “You dare to defy me little girl?! Well, prepare to meet your DOOM!!!” Clone Evil Sartorius' body bursts with sickly white energy and he draws one card from his deck. Clone Evil Sartorius says, putting one card in the spell/trap slots, “I play my Magician's Scales gone! Now, I sacrifice one Arcana Force monster to gain one spell card from my deck! So, Arcana Force One, be gone!” Arcana Force I-The Magician vanishes from the field as Clone Evil Sartorius' deck flies out and surrounds him in an infinity sign. Just then he takes one card from the cards flying around him revealing it to be The Sky Lord continuous spell card while his deck returns to his duel disk. Clone Evil Sartorius pushes a button on his duel disk and calls out, “I play my Material Lord!” Just then Clone Evil Sartorius' face-down card is revealed to be The Material Lord continuous trap card that sends a beam of red light into the sky.

 

Evil Sartorius says, with an evil smile while pushing a button on his duel disk, “And then I play my Spiritual Lord!” Just then Evil Sartorius' face-down card is revealed to be The Spiritual Lord continuous trap card and it gives a blue column of light.

 

Clone Evil Sartorius puts another card in the spell/trap slots and he yells out, “And I choose to play my Sky Lord!” Just then a green column of light envelopes Clone Evil Sartorius.

 

Alexis says, horrified, “Oh no! Not this!”

 

Clone Evil Sartorius says, with an evil sinister smile as a card comes out of his deck, “That's right! This is the same move that got rid of Aster! And now, it's time for the two of you to join him!”

 

Jaden says, seriously, “Just try it!”

 

Clone Evil Sartorius puts one card on his duel disk and both Evil Sartorius cry out in unison, “We sacrifice our light pillars to summon our ultimate creature! Come forth, Arcana Force Extra-The Light Ruler!” The three light pillars combine into one causing a huge explosion of white light causing everyone to cover their eyes while a figure appears from the sickly white light. When the sickly white light dies down, Arcana Force EX-The Light Ruler (4000/4000) is on the field in attack mode. The card above its head starts to rotate and the two Evil Sartorius don't say a word, but when Serena and Jaden call out for it to stop, it lands in the right side up position. Clone Evil Sartorius yells out, with an evil smile, “There is nothing more to be said! Light Ruler, attack her Neos with Absolute End!” The two dragon-like heads come out of the back of The Light Ruler and fire beam of pure white light at Neos.

 

Neos yells out, “The Light . . . it's too strong!” Just then Neos is enveloped in an explosion of white light as he is destroying causing Jaden and Serena to be thrown to the ground hard as they lose 1500 life-points.

 

Darien yells out, horrified, “Serena!”

 

Alexis calls out, stunned, “Jaden!” Both Evil Sartorius laugh evilly at the two fallen heroes on the ground, but Serena manages to pick herself up.

 

Evil Sartorius says, with an evil smile, “You are more stubborn than I thought, but Jaden is another story.” Everyone looks to see that Jaden is unconscious, much to their shock.

 

Clone Evil Sartorius says, with an evil smile, “And while he is eating dirt, I will use my Light Ruler's special ability and regain one card from my graveyard.” Just then the Field spell card, Light Barrier, comes out of Clone Evil Sartorius' graveyard slot and he puts it into his hand. Clone Evil Sartorius says, with an evil smile, “I think that's enough for now.”

Jaden and Serena: 800

Twin Evil Sartorius: 2450

 

Clone Evil Sartorius says, with an evil smile, “What's that? You want more time! Sorry, but humanity's time has been up for a long time! It's game over!”

 

Serena yells out, worriedly, “Jaden, you need to get up!” As Evil Sartorius starts to laugh, many in the audience are horrified by this and they can't help to hold their breathes.

 

Alexis thinks in her mind, “Jaden, I believe in you! I know you can do this! Please, get back up!” Within Jaden's mind, he sees the images of the others racing into other space and taking on the satellite.

 

(With the others; on the meanwhile)

 

Returning back to orbit, we find our heroes and heroines heading up closer to the satellite when it turns towards them and it looks like it will fire at them.

 

Sailor Venus says, nervously, “I don't like this!”

 

Glow Neos says, plainly, “Don't worry, it won't fire at this close a range.” However, the satellite charges and fires a laser right at them with Glow Neos pushing Tyranno, in his `Dino Spirit Form' out of the way, and the other manages to dodge.

 

Solar Sun yells out, in his usual tone, “So much for your theory.”

 

Glow Neos says, with a plain tone, “I sense something wrong.”

 

Sailor Neptune asks, curiously, “What is it?”

 

Glow Neos says, with a serious tone, “My counterpart that's part of your princess' deck. He has . . . been sent to the card graveyard in their duel. I can feel it.”

 

The group of heroes gasps in shock and Sailor Saturn says, worriedly, “I hope that Serena-hime is okay.”

 

Glow Neos says, with a nod, “She is. I sense the duel is going on, but I fear that the Light of Destruction still has the advantage over them.”

 

Sailor Aries yells out, shocked, “Look!” Everyone looks to see the satellite in final preparations to launch its `attack'.

 

Valkyrie Sailor Star says, worriedly, “We don't have any time left!”

 

Sailor Jupiter says, strongly, “This can't be the end!” Our heroes and heroines prepare to move in, but they are unsure what to do and fear that they are indeed too late.

 

(Back on Earth; at this same time)

 

Returning to Earth, we find the unconscious Jaden seeing these images in his mind as Evil Sartorius and his clone laugh evilly, thinking that they've just won.

 

Jaden thinks in his mind, “The others are in danger! But what can I do? I'm supposed to be the `Chosen Duelists' along with Kagome, Kari, Yusuke, and Serena, but are they sure that everyone has the right person here?”

 

Just then Neos' voice calls out in Jaden's mind, “Yes, they do, Jaden. You must use the power that the others gave you and Serena. The power that Yusuke Urameshi, Kagome Higurashi, and Hikari Urameshi gave to the two of you and you must believe Jaden. You are the `Chosen Duelist' and you and Serena know what to do.” Just then Jaden immediately wakes up as his eyes shoot open causing everyone to notice as Jaden leaps to his feet.

 

Serena and Alexis yell out in unison, happily, “Jaden!”

 

Evil Sartorius says, with a sly evil smirk, “Well, it looks like do have a bit of spark in you.”

 

Jaden yells out, as he draws one card, “Don't think so, pal! As long Serena and I have life-points, this game is on!” Jaden thinks in his mind, when he sees the card, “One of the cards that Yusuke gave me!” Jaden puts one card in the spell/trap slots and calls out, “All right! I play this next! It's a card that a good friend by the name of Yusuke Urameshi gave me! The spell: Spellbook Inside of the Pot!” Just then a hologram of a spell card with a picture of a jar similar to the one on the Pot of Greed spell card with smoke displaying three books coming out and Jaden says, with a plain tone, “With this card effect, all of us must draw three new cards!” All four duelists then draw three new cards from their decks and Serena gasps when she sees one of them.

 

Serena yells out, putting one card on her duel disk, “Thanks to effect of Jay's spell card, I activate the ability of one of the monster cards that I just drew! Alchemic Dragon!”

 

Both Evil Sartorius yell out, surprised, “What?!”

 

Serena says, with a smile, “That's right! Since I draw thanks to a card effect, I can summon it to the field! And just to let you know, it is card that a friend, Kagome Higurashi, gave to me to take you down!” Just then a Alchemic Dragon (1000/1000), a four star monster that's a human sized dragon that's made up of Earth, Fire, Wind, and Water Energy, comes to the field in defense mode. Serena says, with a serious tone, “Thanks to its second ability, I can sacrifice it to revive any spell card from my graveyard to my hand! And I choose Polymerization!” Just then Alchemic Dragon vanishes from the field and Serena takes a Polymerization spell card from her deck and adds it to her hand.

 

Evil Sartorius says, with an evil smile, “A lot of good that will do you.”

 

Jaden pushes a button on his duel disk and calls out, “And now, I play my face-down card: Ancient Rules!” Jaden's face-down card is the Ancient Rules spell card and Jaden yells out, strongly, “With this card, I can play one level five or above Normal monster from my hand!” Jaden puts his Elemental Hero Neos (2500/2000) monster card on his duel disk and yells out, “I play this one!”

 

(Back in outer space; at this moment)

 

Returning to Earth's orbit, we find our heroes and heroines dodge the defenses of the satellite when Glow Neos stops in his tracks and looks towards Earth as he glows in a rainbow of colors.

 

Glow Neos says, with a serious tone, “Neos, I sense it! Jaden is calling for you! He needs your help!” Just then the image of Elemental Hero Neos appears around Glow Neos, separates from him, and takes solid form.

 

Sailor Uranus asks, in a rare amazed tone, “What the?”

 

Glow Neos tells Neos, “Go now! The future of Earth is in your hands!” Immediately, Neos turns into a beam of rainbow light and shoots back to Earth and Obelisk Arena.

 

Valkyrie Sailor Eclipse asks, perplexed, “Can somebody tell me what was that?”

 

Sailor Galaxy says, with a perplexed look, “Well, it looks like Jay calls his Neos back to the field.”

 

Glow Neos says, plainly, “Let us hope that he is victorious.”

 

Sailor Mars thinks in her mind, “You and Jaden better get out of this Meatball Head! We believe in you!” Soon after, the group turns back to the task at hand and hopes to the stop the satellite in time through it looks hopeless.

 

(Back on Earth; Briefly)

 

Returning to Obelisk Arena on Earth, Jaden yells out, strongly, “I call out Elemental Hero Neos!” Just then a beam of rainbow light comes down from the ceiling and crashing on the ground causing Elemental Hero Neos (2500/2000) to appear in attack mode.

 

Serena thinks in her mind, with a serious tone, “This is it! The play that I've been waiting for! This is our final chance to win! Please! Let this work . . . for everyone!” Serena pushes a button on her duel disk and calls out, pointing to the card that she had put down some turns ago, “And now, I play this: The card I've been waiting to use! You keep talking about `Destiny' and how the future can't be changed! Well, I'm about to prove that we make our choices and create our own futures! Now, I play my trap card: Vision of the Future!” Serena's face-down card proves to be a trap card with a picture of Neos and the Neo-Spacians glowing in front of a Polymerization card. Serena says, with a serious tone, “This card activates only when Neos is on the field! Then I can send one Polymerization from my hand to the graveyard and then I choose a Neos fusion monster in which I send the Fusion Material monsters to the graveyard! And I choose Glow Neos, so, I send Neo-Spacian Glow Moss to the graveyard!” After Serena discards her Polymerization spell card, a card comes out of Serena's deck and Serena discards Neo-Spacian Glow Moss (300/900) monster card to the graveyard.

 

Evil Sartorius yells out, with an evil smile, “And what good will that do you?”

 

Serena says, with a smile, “Well, that's easy. You see, there is one more Neos fusion monster that Jay and I haven't revealed yet. And all powerful creature that will end this duel in one strike.”

 

Evil Sartorius yells out, annoyed, “You lie! I would have seen that!”

 

Jaden calls out, with a sly smile, “Well, did you see this coming?! This monster can only be called out when Neos and all Neo-Spacians are on my field or in my graveyard! And since Serena and I are sharing a graveyard, I can use the cards from her grave too!”

 

Serena says, with a sly smile, “Thanks to you, you send Aqua Dolphin and Air Hummingbird to the grave while I sent my Flare Scarab and Grand Mole through Contact Fusion, Dark Panther through Graceful Charity, and Glow Moss right now!”

 

Both Evil Sartorius gasp in horror and Evil Sartorius yells out, stunned, “That means . . . you have all that you need!”

 

As the Neo-Spacians start to appear in the air above Jaden, he says, with a smile, “That's right, bro! And now, I can return Neos and all of them to our decks to perform this!” When all of the Neo-Spacians appear above Jaden's head and the outer space theme appears in the skies, Jaden yells out, “It's time, gang! Ultimate Contact Fusion!” Neos gives off a bright rainbow glow along with the Neo-Spacians as they leap into the sky and unite in a bright rainbow light as the cards return to Serena's and Jaden's decks while a new fusion monster cards appears on Jaden's duel disk. Jaden cries out, with a wide grin, “Now, it's time to meet the one and only: Elemental Hero Divine Neos!” Just then Elemental Hero Divine Neos (3000/2500), a huge humanoid monster equal in height to Obelisk the Tormentor with golden winged helmet with emerald green eyes, golden chest armor with crystal blue jewel in the center, golden armored shoulder pads, golden armored lower arms and hands, golden armored `kilt' around his upper legs, golden armored boots, and two huge golden armored angel wings, comes to the field in attack mode.

 

Alexis yells out, stunned, “Oh my!”

 

Darien says, stunned, “What a creature!”

 

Evil Sartorius says, stunned, “I . . . I didn't predict this!”

 

After his Field Spell slot opens, Jaden says, putting a card in the slot, “Well, I guess that you've lost your touch! Next, I play my Neo-Space Field Spell!” Just then the field transforms into the orbit of the Earth where the image of the heroes and heroines led by Glow Neos are trying to take down the satellite.

 

Evil Sartorius yells out, with an evil smile, “Look at my satellite! Even if you do win, the Earth is mine!”

 

Jaden calls out, strongly, “Not yet, space freak! Divine Neos, be a pal and help them out!” Immediately, Divine Neos teleports away and reappears behind our heroes and heroines.

 

Sailor Jupiter asks, perplexed, “Who in the world?”

 

Glow Neos says, with a serious tone, “The most powerful being of Neo-Space: Elemental Hero Divine Neos!”

 

Valkyrie Sailor Star asks, stunned, “Divine Neos?”

 

Sailor Libra yells out, horrified, “The satellite!” Everyone looks to see the satellite ready to fire, much to everyone's shock.

 

Evil Sartorius exclaims, evilly, “The Earth is mine!”

 

Just then strange energy surrounds the satellite and a woman's voice calls out, “Stop!”

 

Evil Sartorius and his clone yell out in unison, perplexed, “What?”

 

Serena says, amazed, “That voice . . .” Just then an image of Sarina, Sartorius' sister, appears above the satellite.

 

Evil Sartorius and his clone state in unison, perplexed, “Sarina?”

 

Sarina says, with a concerned tone, “You must hurry! My power won't last long! I've upload myself to the satellite's systems! Hurry and destroy the satellite now!”

 

Evil Sartorius calls out, shocked, “Stop!”

 

Glow Neos transfers energy to Tyranno in his `Dino Spirit Form' and he says, “The first attack is yours.” Just then Tyranno charges the satellite and damages the dish with using his Tyrannosaur Rex-like jaws to rip off the antenna on the satellite dish. Glow Neos then rams right through part of the satellite, critically damaging it. Glow Neos yells out, “My friend, get out of the way! Everyone else, it is time!” Immediately, Tyranno leaps out of the way while the Sailor Senshi, Taigoku, and Divine Neos fire powerful energy assaults that totally vaporize the whole of the satellite causing Evil Sartorius and his clone to gasp in pure horror.

 

Sailor Saturn yells out, happily, “We did it!”

 

Sailor Galaxy says, with a sly grin, “Game over!”

 

Tyranno says, with a sly grin, “There she blows!” Soon after, his spirit returns to his body on Earth while Divine Neos teleports back to Jaden's side of the dueling field.

 

Serena says, with a sly smile, “Oh, well. There goes your satellite.”

 

Evil Sartorius says, with an evil grin, “True, but there are always others! And it doesn't matter! When I get you, two, along with Mister Urameshi, his sister, and his cousin, I will have the power that I need to show this world and the universe the Light!”

 

Jaden says, with a smile, “Not happening! You see, Neo-Space gives Divine Neos an extra five hundred attack points.” Divine Neos' stats rise from 3000/2500 to 3500/2500 and Jaden says, with a sly grin, “And by the way, by removing a number of Heroes and Neo-Spacians from my deck, I can increase Divine Neos' attack points by five hundred for each one during this turn!”

 

Evil Sartorius and his clone give horrified looks and Evil Sartorius yells out, shocked, “No! It can't be!”

 

Jaden takes out his deck, takes out six cards, puts his deck back in his duel disk, and he says, “It's all true, bro!” Jaden then displays Neo-Spacian Flare Scarab (500/500), Neo-Spacian Grand Mole (900/300), Neo-Spacian Glow Moss (300/900), Neo-Spacian Dark Panther (1000/100), Elemental Hero Wildheart (1500/1600), and Elemental Hero Bladedge (2600/1800) monster cards, puts them in his pocket, and Jaden says, with a smile, “So, I remove these cards from play so Divine Neos gets a real boost and by the way, did you know that he gains their special abilities too? So, Wildheart's power, he is immune to trap effects as well!” Just then Elemental Hero Divine Neos' stats rise from 3500/2500 to 6900/2500!

 

Evil Sartorius shouts out, horrified, “No!”

 

Jaden yells out, strongly, “Divine Neos, take out his Light Ruler and end this! It's time the save the universe with Legendary Strike!” Divine Neos fires a powerful beam of pure golden scared energy right Light Ruler.

 

Clone Evil Sartorius says, with an evil smile while discarding an Arcana Force XIV-The Temperance (2400/2400) monster card, “Wrong! I discard my Temperance to negate your attack!”

 

Serena yells out, with a smile, “Don't think so, jerk!” Serena then displays a Zombie Judge (2450/1800) monster card, which is a six star monster displaying a zombie creature dressed in a judge's cloak with the scales of justice in one hand and a rulebook in another hand, and she says, “I play a card given to me by Hikari Urameshi! It's known as Zombie Judge! When you play a monster effect, I can discard this card from my hand and its effect is canceled out!” Serena discards the card to the graveyard and a violet beam of energy comes from her graveyard into Clone Evil Sartorius' graveyard causing the image of Arcana Force XIV-The Temperance (2400/2400) monster card to appear and surround by violet energy as its power is negated.

 

Evil Sartorius yells out, horrified, “YOU CAN'T DO THIS! HOW COULD I LOSE TO A PAIR OF MERE MORTALS?! I DIDN'T PREDICT ANY OF THIS! THIS CAN'T BE HAPPENING!!!” Just then Divine Neos' attack slams into them and The Light Ruler causing it to explode in a huge explosion while Clone Evil Sartorius cries out as he shatters into particles while Evil Sartorius cries out as the Light of Destruction is ripped from his body as he loses 2900 life-points, ending the duel immediately.

 

Final Score:

Jaden and Serena: 800

Twin Evil Sartorius: 0

 

In the aftermath of the duel, the Light of Destruction appears out of Sartorius' body and gives off a roar of anger while Divine Neos blasts him with another strike of golden energy causing it to cry out in pain as it shatters into particles. When the dust and dirt settles down, they find the one and only Sartorius, his features returned to normal, lying down on the ground on his stomach.

 

Alexis asks, curiously, “Is it over?” Just then Aster's form is released from his prison which immediately causes Jaden to go over to him and drag him away from Sartorius' fallen form.

 

Jaden asks Aster, “Hey, Aster, are you okay?”

 

Aster groans out, annoyed, “How do you think I'm feeling Jay?” Soon after, Aster slowly gets up to a sitting position as he opens his eyes while the image of Sarina appears by Sartorius.

 

Sarina asks, concerned, “Brother?”

Sartorius opens his eyes and he asks, in his gentle voice, “Huh? Who's there?”

 

When Sartorius gets to a kneeling position, Sarina tells him, happily, “Sartorius, it's me!”

 

Sartorius says, weakly, “Yes, but I thought . . .”

 

Sarina says, with a warm smile, “Farewell. We will meet again, brother.” Just then the image of Sarina fades away as Sartorius looks down solemnly and Divine Neos reverts back to Elemental Hero Neos and the six Neo-Spacians.

 

Jaden tells Neos, “Well, you did Neos.”

 

Neos tells Jaden, shaking his head, “No, Jaden. You did it. You and the other `Chosen Duelists'. It was you as well as the cards and faith of Kagome Higurashi, Hikari Urameshi, and Yusuke Urameshi, uniting the power of the remaining five `Chosen Duelists', which defeated the Light of Destruction.”

 

Aquos tells Jaden, “You and the others have done well, Jaden.”

 

Neos tells Jaden and Serena, “Jaden. Serena. We, the people of Neo-Space, thank you.” Soon after, Neos and the six Neo-Spacians fade away as they return to Neo-Space and their cards and the field returns to normal.

 

Serena thinks in her mind, with a warm smile, “And we thank you, Neos! With your strength aiding us, we managed to defeat the Light of Destruction!”

 

Darien says, with a warm smile, “It's finally over.”

 

Alexis says, with a warm smile, “I hope that the others are all right.”

 

(Back outside; shortly thereafter)

 

Just then, back outside, Tyranno gives a roar as he, back in his human body, gets back on his feet and he gives off a perplexed look when the others, left on the ground, look at him surprised.

 

Chazz asks, in his usual snobbish tone, “Playing dinosaur again, Huckleberry?”

 

Tyranno asks, stunned, “How did I get here? Where did outer space go?” Immediately, the others then teleport in, much to the others' surprise, before de-transforming back to their `original forms'.

 

Syrus yells out, surprised, “Yipe! Don't do that!”

 

Sailor Saturn says, with a warm smile, “Sorry, Syrus-kun.”

 

Hiei says, plainly, “If you are here, that means the satellite is destroyed.”

 

Inuyasha says, with a sly grin, “Yep! We blew that sucker sky high!”

 

Kagome says, with a smile, “Inuyasha . . .”

 

Shippo yells out, excitedly, “Awesome! That means that we won!”

 

Kurama says, with a serious tone, “Not yet. Serena and Jaden are still dueling in the arena.”

 

Just then Jasmine's PDA goes off and she activates it causing Alexis' face to go on the screen and Jasmine to ask, “What's up, Lex?”

 

Alexis says, over the PDA with a smile, “It's over! Jaden and Serena won the duel!”

 

Hikari asks, with a smile, “You mean . . .?”

 

Alexis says, with a nod, “Yes! We've won! It's all over!”

 

Lita cries out, excitedly, “All right! Way to go, Serena!”

 

Yusuke calls out, excitedly, “I knew that Jay could do it!”

 

Keiko says, with a nod and a smile, “Same here!”

 

Alexis says, with a smile, “And Jay and Serena used the cards that Yusuke, Kagome, and Kari gave them to do it!”

 

Hikari calls out, excitedly, “They did? Awesome!”

 

Yusuke says, with a proud smile, “Ha! I knew those cards would come in handy!”

 

Jasmine tells Alexis, with a smile, “We will be right there, Lex!” Alexis nods her head as the PDA de-activates and Jasmine puts it back in her pocket.

 

Mindy says, excitedly, “This nightmare is over!”

 

Seira says, with a smile, “Well, this is an adventure that I won't forget.”

 

Rei thinks in her mind, with a wide grin, “Great job, Meatball Head. I knew that you and Jaden could do it.”

 

Syrus asks, pointing to Prince Ojin's sleeping form, “What about him? Yukina healed him, but Kurama put him asleep with some kind of pollen before you came back.”

 

Trista says, with a nod, “A wise idea. It would cause too many problems if he saw the Sailor Scouts appear and you are `friendly' with us.”

 

Kirara transforms into her full demon cat form and Sango says, with a smile, “I think that Kirara and I can take care of this.”

 

Yusuke says, with a sly grin, “Well, what are waiting for? A written invitation? Let's get back there!” Immediately, our heroes and heroines start to prepare to head back inside to rejoin the others in Obelisk Arena.

 

(That evening; Somewhere on Academy Island)

 

In an area of Academy Island, we find Sailor Earth and Yeshua waiting as a group of grey cloaked figures appear in front of them.

 

One of the cloaked figures states, in a male voice, “So, they have succeeded, huh?”

 

Sailor Earth says, with a nod, “The Light of Destruction is no more.”

 

The cloaked figure says, plainly, “You have done well, Sailor Earth.”

 

Sailor Earth says, plainly, “They hardly needed my help.”

 

Yeshua says, with a plain emotionless tone, “They were the `Chosen Duelists' after all.”

 

The cloaked figure asks, curiously, “Do you think any of the `Chosen Duelists' are `Signers'?”

 

Yeshua says, with a plain emotionless tone, “From what I could tell, there is a possibility with Keiko Yukimura, Yusuke Urameshi, and Serena Tsukino. I sense the familiar energies of the People of the Stars in them, but faintly.”

 

Sailor Earth asks, curiously, “So, Pegasus developed the cards?”

 

The cloaked figure says, with a nod, “All five legendary dragons have been reborn into a new series of Duel Monsters cards. In the near future, the new dueling rules and new cards will be revealed.”

 

Yeshua asks, curiously with a plain emotionless tone, “So, the evil of the Nazca Lines is dew to come out soon?”

 

The cloaked figure says, with a nod, “The seal is weakening and the Crimson Dragon will be needed. However, about Keiko Yukimura . . .”

 

Yeshua asks, curiously with a plain emotionless tone, “Yes?”

 

The cloaked figure says, with a serious tone, “You might be right about her being a Signer. The Arcadia Movement has taken great interest in her.”

 

Yeshua says, with a nod and emotionless tone, “Understood.”

 

Soon after, the cloaked figures vanish through some kind of teleportation and Sailor Earth thinks in her mind, with a sigh, “With one evil gone, a new evil rises awaken . . . such is the cycle of life . . .”

 

(The next day; Inside of Obelisk Arena)

 

Within Obelisk Arena, we find the seats filled up including our heroes and heroines, expect for Yusuke, Jaden, and Serena, who are assembled in the center ring with Chancellor Sheppard with a wireless microphone in his hands.

 

Chancellor Sheppard says, with a slight nervous tone, “Well, due to the unexpected and unauthorized actions of Sartorius, who has been determined to have been under the influence of some kind of `outside power' . . .”

Yusuke thinks in his mind, plainly, “Well, that's one way of putting it.”

 

Chancellor Sheppard says, continuing, “. . . we have determined that he has been disqualified. However, we can't bring back those who have already lost, so, we will determine how to proceed with the final rounds.” Seira, who is watching the stands, notices that Jaden's, Yusuke's, and Serena's hair colors and clothing have returned to normal and looks at the others, noticing those that have taken in the Darkness of Salvation's power have returned to their normal hair colors and their clothing is back to normal too.

 

Seira asks, perplexed, “Why are all of you back to normal?”

 

Ami says, with a warm smile, “Well, with the Light of Destruction gone, the energies that the Black Crystal gave to us returned to the crystal.”

 

Kurama says, with a plain tone, “However, the bond that they share with Darkness of Salvation isn't gone. If their energies are needed again, the energy will return to all of them.”

 

Seira says, with a sigh, “Well, that's a bit of a bummer. I liked `Goth' being in style.”

 

Jasmine says, with a sly smirk, “Not surprising Seira.”

 

Kagome asks, curiously, “How are they going to finish off the finals of the GX tournament?”

 

Syrus says, with a shrug, “Got me, Kagome.”

 

Darien says, with a plain tone, “I'm sure that they will finish off the finals in an honorable fashion that everyone can care for the results.”

 

Amara says, plainly, “Well, it is going to be rough since Yusuke, Jaden, and Kitten are the only ones left in the tournament.”

 

Zane says, with a dark plain tone, “Well, sometime tells me that one of them is going to make this simpler.”

 

Back on the dueling platform, Chancellor Sheppard says, through the wireless microphone, “From talking with the administrative staff of this fine academy and we believe . . .”

 

Just then Yusuke says, with a smile, “Hey, Chancellor, can you hold it a second?”

 

Immediately, everyone focuses on Yusuke and Chancellor Sheppard asks, curiously, “Yes, Yusuke? Is there something you want to say?”

 

Yusuke says, with a smile, “Well, as much as I want to kick butt and challenge my old bud, Jay, over there, this isn't my show. For everyone's enjoyments, I think it is time for me to make like a tree and leaf.”

 

Many gasps came from the audience as well as Jaden, Serena, and Chancellor Sheppard and he asks, shocked, “You mean that you are withdrawing from the finals?”

 

Yusuke says, with a nod and a sly smile, “Yep! Like I said, this show belongs to Jay and Serena. Besides, I still get third place right? It isn't that bad and I didn't officially lose to Jay or Serena. So, it isn't too bad. But the main reason and I won't repeat myself: This duel and this tournament belongs to the two of them now and I've got no right to butt my nose where it doesn't belong. So, yeah, I'm out of here.” Soon after, Yusuke starts to walk off the dueling platform, much to everyone's surprise.

 

Back in the stands, Keiko says, stunned, “Yusuke . . .”

 

Kuwabara yells out, perplexed, “Why did Urameshi go and do that?”

 

Kurama says, with a sly smile, “Yusuke believes that even through he, Kagome, and Kari helped them defeat the Light of Destruction, they were the ones that dueled him and won. In his mind, the two of them deserve to win this tournament more.”

 

As Yusuke walks away, Jaden asks Yusuke, curiously, “Are you sure, bro?”

 

Yusuke tells Jaden, turning his head to look at him, “Yeah. I'm sure. However, don't let this go to your head. Next time, I'll be back to kick your butt in a tournament and a duel, so watch out!”

 

Jaden says, with a smile, “I'm looking forward to it, Yusuke!” Yusuke gives thumbs up with his right hand and walks off the stage with plenty in the audience still shocked.

 

Chancellor Sheppard says, through the microphone, “A stunning turn of events! Yusuke Urameshi, a top competitor in the tournament, has withdrawn from the finals! Since he won his duel with his sister and Sartorius and Aster are out, he will be in the top three slot of the tournament. He could have gone far in this tournament, but he has honorably decided to step aside! Let's gave a round of applause to this duelist.” Plenty in the audience are still stunned by Yusuke's action, but they give him plenty of applause and cheers.

 

Hikari says, with a smile, “This is one of the rare times that my brother has been cheered rather than jeered.”

 

Alexis says, with a smile, “Well, he did help save this school from the Society of Light and that alien freak.”

 

After Chancellor Sheppard signals for the cheering and applause to stop, he says, into the microphone, “And now, the first semi-final round has become the final round of the tournament! It is between two top duelists of our school! Jaden Yuki, second year Slifer Red and `Miracle Duelist' as he somewhat known versus our Obelisk Blue's newest princess and newest Hero and Cyber Angel duelists, first year Obelisk Blue Serena Tsukino!” Chancellor Sheppard then motions to Jaden and Serena and the two of them smile and wave as cheers and applause, a lot of it, comes from the audience.

 

In the audience, Mina says, with a smile, “I wish I was up there, but it is so cool to see Serena in the finals of a tournament!”

 

Ami says, with a kind smile, “Well, Serena has shown incredible skill and ability!”

 

Syrus says, with a wide grin, “She may be good, but, sorry to be insulting, Jay is better!”

 

Tyranno says, with a sly grin, “The Sarge isn't going to lose to his own royal flesh and blood!”

 

Lita says, with a kind smile, “We will see about that, Hassleberry! Don't get me wrong, Jay is really good, but with Serena, you don't know what kind of surprises she will pull off.”

 

Bastion says, with a smile and logical tone, “Well, Jaden is the same way. He and Serena share a similar `Miracle Draw' ability and similar tactics and decks, so, this will make for an incredible match.”

 

Keiko says, with a nod, “I'll bet.”

 

Back on the dueling platform, we find Serena and Jaden shuffling each other's deck and Jaden tells Serena, with a smile, “Don't think that I will go easy on you, Serena.”

 

Serena says, with a kind smile, “Not expecting you, too. I want you to give me your all because I'm planning to do exactly that.”

 

Jaden tells Serena, with a wide grin, “I wouldn't have it any other way.” Soon enough, Jaden and Serena return each other's decks to each other and go to opposite sides of the holographic dueling arena while Chancellor Sheppard leaps down from the platform. Jaden and Serena put their dueling decks into their duel disk which are attached to their left wrists. The two of them activate their duel disks and their life-points counters display 4000 life-points for each duelist while they draw five cards from their decks.

 

Chancellor Sheppard asks, through the microphone, “Is the two finalists ready?”

 

Jaden and Serena yell out in unison, “You know it!”

 

Chancellor Sheppard calls out, through the microphone, “Then game on!”

Jaden yells out, strongly, “Darkbright, time for you to start off! Take out her Lady Heat with Dark Flash!” Darkbright leaps into the sky and blasts Lady Heat, destroying it, and costing Serena 1000 life-points, thanks to its special ability, while The Heat's stats reduce from 2200/1200 to 2000/1200.

Serena gasps in shock and Keiko says, stunned, “Since Rainbow Neos and The Heat were special summoned, this move will leave Serena totally defenseless!”

 

Jaden discards one card from his hand and he yells out, “So, I discard this card to send Rainbow Neos and your other Hero packing!” A large blue tornado comes to the field, slams into the two monsters, and they explode into particles as they are destroyed.

Bastion says, with a nod, “I agree with you, Ami.”

 

Kurama says, with a nod, “Indeed.”

Jaden says, with a smile, “Necro Shaman's ability allows him to sacrifice one monster on your field and summon a replacement from your graveyard! So, it is time to say adios to Terra Firma and hello Woodsman!” Necro Shaman's staff glows and Terra Firma groans out as he is sacrificed while Elemental Hero Woodsman (1000/2000) comes back to the field in attack mode. Jaden says, with a sly smile while putting one card in the spell/trap slots, “Next, I play my Shallow Grave! This card allows both of us to summon back one monster to the field in defense mode! And I choose the card that I discarded with Special Hurricane: Hero Kid!” Just then Hero Kid (300/600) comes to the field in defense mode.

Lita yells out, amazed, “No way!”

 

Kurama says, with a plain tone, “The majority of Jaden's monsters are level four or above and the very few that below level three that can beat it are very few in number. Namely, he only has Avian and Burstinatrix to do that job. Serena has created a good defense, but something tells me that it will make an excellent offense too.”

Then I can take one Elemental hero from my deck and add it to my hand!” Just another Hero Kid comes in to protect the other one with Poison Rose's attack as it takes the blow for him. Jaden says, a card coming out his duel disk, “So, now, I choose my Elemental Hero Neos to join my hand!” Jaden then displays the card that he drawn to be his Elemental Hero Neos (2500/2000) monster card.

Zane says, with a dark smile on his lips, “We said that this would be a close match.” Zane thinks in his mind, with a dark sly tone, “Those two are the only ones that I ever felt the excitement and joy of dueling from.

Next, his ability gives him four hundred attack points for every spell and trap on the field! Since I have two and you have one, Serena, Flare Neos gets twelve hundred points boost!” Flare Neos' stats rise from 2500/2000 to 3700/2000.

Bastion says, stunned, “Oh my! This is a new Hero!”

 

Jaden says, awe-struck, “Sweet! This is the new, Serena! What does he do?”

 

Serena says, with a sly smirk, “What does my hunky new Hero does Jay? Simple! He is going to help me win!”

 

Kurama says, with a plain tone, “He must have a powerful special ability for Serena to declare that.”

 

Serena says, with a sly smile, “Once per turn, during my Main Phase, Blizzard Neos destroy the top card of my opponent's deck. The card destroyed allows me to draw the same card from my deck and determines Blizzard Neos' second special ability.”

 

Jaden states, stunned, “What?”

 

Serena says, with a strong tone, “Go, Arctic Freeze!” Blizzard Neos fires a beam of freezing energy that slams into Jaden's deck and destroys the top card of Jaden's deck, which is a Space Gift spell card. Serena says, taking out her deck, “A spell card! So, I get one spell card from my deck!” Serena takes out one card from her deck, puts her deck back in her duel disk, and she says, “But most of all, since Blizzard Neos destroyed a spell, he can bypass your monsters and go straight for your life-points!” Everyone gasps in shock and Serena cries out, “Blizzard Neos! Go get him! Attack Jaden directly and end this!” Blizzard Neos leaps into the sky and gathers freezing energy into himself. Serena then calls out, “Icicle Fury!” Blizzard Neos then launches dozens of large icicle spears right at Jaden.

 

Alexis says, stunned, “Jaden!”

 

Chazz thinks in his mind, with a sly smile, “Heh. So, the Slacker truly loses for the first time? And by his own `royal sister'?”

 

Serena says, as the attack inches closer to Jaden, “Sorry, Jay, but that's the way the duel ends.”

 

Jaden says, pushing a button on his duel disk, “You should know Serena that a duel isn't over until the last card is played. You are one amazing duelist, but this duel isn't over yet! I play my final trap card: Final Fusion!” Just then Jaden's final face-down card is revealed to be the Final Fusion trap card and Jaden states, with a smile, “As you know, this card gives us both damage equal to attack of all the monsters on the field! And you know what this means, Serena?”

 

Serena says, with a smile, “Yep!” Just then all of the monsters glow with bright glows before a huge explosion hits the entire field causing Serena and Jaden to yelp out as they both lose 8300 life-points each, ending the duel immediately.

 

Final Score:

Jaden: 0 (tie)

Serena: 0 (tie)

 

With the end of the duel, the smoke and dust on the dueling field clears away to reveal both Serena and Jaden have fallen down on their backs on the dueling field and all of the holograms have vanished with both of them lost their remaining life-points.

 

Kagome yells out, stunned, “I can't believe it! The duel ended in a tie!”

 

Kuwabara calls out, flabbergasted, “Unbelievable!”

 

Seira thinks in her mind, amazed, “Wow! Jaden and Serena are such powerful duelists! I can't believe they can have such skill and strength!”

 

Chancellor Sheppard is stunned speechless and he then yells out, into the microphone, “This . . . This is . . . incredible! The duel is a tie! The final match of the GX tournament is a tie!” There are plenty in the audience that gasp out in shock as Yusuke, who on the ground near the dueling platform, with Chancellor Sheppard runs up as Serena and Jaden slowly get to a sitting position.

 

Yusuke says, with a sly grin and amazed tone, “Damn! You, two, are something else! The duel is a tie!”

 

Jaden says, with a giggle, “Yeah! I knew that I couldn't stop Serena's attack, but I made that I couldn't lose either.”

 

Serena says, with a sly smile, “Nice move, Jay! I thought that I had you with my new Neos monster.”

 

Jaden says, with a wide grin, “That monster was so sweet! I'll keep him in mind for my next duel!”

 

Yusuke asks, curiously, “Since this duel has ended in a tie, does this mean that the two of you have to duel again?”

 

Just then Chancellor Sheppard comes up to the dueling platform and he says, with a serious tone through the microphone, “No need, Mister Urameshi. As Chancellor of this school, I declare that the final match of the GX tournament is a tie! And the co-winners of the tournament are Serena Tsukino of Obelisk Blue and Jaden Yuki of Slifer Red! For this awe inspiring duel, I think that's the least that we can do! Give these two incredible duelists a hand!” Just then cheers and applauds come from the audience as our heroes and heroines in the stands start to get out of their seats to congratulate them. On the meanwhile, Jaden and Serena walk together with Chancellor Sheppard and Yusuke nearby.

 

Jaden tells Serena, with a smile, “Nice duel, Serena.”

 

Serena says, with a nod and a smile, “Same here, Jaden. However, since I tied with you and you are the best duelist in the school, it means that you and I have the share the position of top duelist in this school.”

 

Jaden says, stretching his head, “Well, you do have a point, Serena.”

 

Serena says, with a smile, “But don't expect that to be long, Jay! I'm here to become the first ever Queen of Games and I plan to be the best! So, don't expect an easy time when we next duel!”

 

Jaden says, with a smile, “Wouldn't have it any other way, Serena! I can't wait when we next throw down!” Jaden and Serena give each other a high-five as the cheers and applaud while the rest of our group is starting to rush the dueling platform to our two Moon siblings as we leave them.

 

(Later that day; at the harbor of Duel Academy)

 

Standing in the harbor is none other than the formerly possessed Diviner, Sartorius, and the Destiny Hero duelist, Aster Phoenix, as Sartorius looks up to the sky with a solemn look on his kind and gently features.

 

Aster tells Sartorius, with a sigh, “Come on, bro. You can't keep beating yourself because that freak.”

 

Sartorius says, with a kind and gentle voice, “I wish that it were that simple Aster. I can't help to feel sorry for all the pain that I caused everyone here. I was weak. I let the Light of Destruction gain control over my body. If I had been stronger, maybe the Light wouldn't have taken over so easily.”

 

Just then a familiar female voice calls out, with a kind tone, “I don't think that it would have done you any good if you had tried to resist that freak, Sartorius.” Aster and Sartorius look to see the rest of our heroes and heroines coming towards them.

 

Aster says, with a curious smirk, “Well, it looks like that `Goth' look is out.”

 

Jaden says, with a smile, “You can say that Aster.”

 

Serena tells Sartorius, with a kind smile, “Trista tells me that even you resisted the Light of Destruction, it wouldn't have done you any good in the end.”

 

Trista tells Sartorius, with a kind smile, “Sartorius, you need to understand the Light of Destruction was an ancient force born in the dawn of the universe. It has been since after the Big Bang, the event that started the universe itself. Plus, it fed on the pain that you had during your childhood to make itself stronger. In the end, the fight for your body might have ended in your spirit's destruction.”

 

Hikari says, with a kind smile, “And in the end, everything worked out anyway.”

 

Aster says, with a smile, “Yeah. We're all okay.” Aster says, with a sigh, “Well, almost all of us.”

 

Sartorius says, looking up into the sky, “She told me that we would meet again.”

 

Serena says, with a kind smile, “And you will. Life always finds a way.”

 

Jaden states, with a smile, “That's right! Plus, can't you see into the future?”

 

Sartorius says, with a kind smile while holding out his Tarot cards, “Actually, the expulsion of the Light of Destruction stripped me of my powers. However, it is for the better. Like someone taught me: `Things in life can't always be predicted'.” Just then a powerful wind comes over the area and everyone gasps in shock.

 

Mindy asks, perplexed, “Now, what?” Everyone looks up into the sky to see a Kaiba Corporation helicopter coming towards the island and is flying pretty low.

 

Lita asks, confused, “What's a Kaiba Corp helicopter doing here?”

 

Kurama says, lowly, “I wonder . . .” When everyone gets closer look at the windows, they see none other than Sartorius' sister, Sarina, in the helicopter with a happy smile on her lips.

 

Sartorius says, happily, “Sarina!” As the helicopter heads for the helicopter pad in the harbor, our heroes and heroines along with Aster and Sartorius held up to the helicopter pad and they are all assembled as it finally touches down. The door opens and Sarina slowly walks out to face her brother as he walks out to face her.

 

The two siblings embrace and Sarina tells Sartorius, with a warm smile, “Sartorius, I'm so glad that you are safe.”

 

Sartorius tells Sarina, with a warm tone, “As am I glad that you are safe, Sarina.” Our heroes and heroines smile warmly at the happy family reunion as Tyranno starts to shed tears.

 

Tyranno says, with a warm smile while wiping his tears, “I'm always a sucker for happy endings.”

 

Chazz says, in his usual snobbish tone, “Oh, suck it up, Hassleberry.”

 

Rei tells Chazz, annoyed, “Oh, give it a rest, Princeton. This is a happy moment. Do us a favor and don't ruin for the rest of us.” Rei then gives him a strong glare that makes Chazz cross his arms and shut up.

 

After the two siblings release from the embrace, Sarina goes up to all of our heroes and heroines and she says, with a kind smile, “Thank you for saving my brother.”

 

Yusuke says, with a sly grin, “Heh! No problem! Saving the world and innocent people from evil body-snatching aliens is part of the job!”

 

Hikari says, with a sly smile, “Yeah, right, bro! You never had to face that before!”

 

Mina says, with a sly smile, “Well, we did. Namely Galaxia and Chaos for example.”

 

Sarina says, with a kind smile, “If it wasn't the efforts of you and especially, the `Chosen Duelists', all would be lost.”

 

Kagome says, with a kind smile, “Jaden and Serena should get the credit. They are the ones that crushed that alien freak.”

 

Sarina says, with a nod, “True. But it was the strength of all of the `Chosen Duelists' within Jaden's and Serena's decks that stop the `Destiny of Destruction' brought by the evil Light of Ruin and now, the real Light of Hope can truly shine once more.”

 

Just then a familiar male voice calls out, “At least for now.” Everyone then looks to see Yeshua walking up towards them with a briefcase in his hands.

 

Chazz yells out, annoyed, “Where were you when that freak was trying to brainwash the world?”

 

Yeshua says, with a plain tone, “Doing as any observer would do. Leave the duties of protecting the universe to the `Chosen Duelists' and they have done very well. Your battle is over, but you must never forget: The battle between good and evil and maintaining the balance of life is eternal. Where there is good, there will always be evil. And those that weld the powers of good and justice must always be there to do what they must to maintain the balance.”

 

Serena says, with a nod, “We won't forget, Yeshua.”

 

Yeshua says, with a plain tone, “I know that you won't.”

 

Jasmine asks, curiously, “What's in the suitcase?”

 

Yeshua says, with a plain tone, “Something that you must be left in charge with. Maxamillion Pegasus is developing a new generation of cards with a new generation of rules that will take Duel Monsters into the new millennium and beyond.” Yeshua opens the suitcase and reveals five dueling deck with tons of other cards strapped the roof of the case and he says, “These five decks have been given to me to be given to you. You must take them and give them to the duelists that they belong to.”

 

Mina says, nervously, “Okay . . .”

 

Yusuke says, with a serious tone, “Hold up! Does this involve some kind of future `great evil'?”

 

Yeshua says, with a nod, “Indeed it does, Yusuke Urameshi. Even through the Light of Destruction has been defeated, most of the evils revived are gone, and balance is restored for the moment. The damage has indeed been done. In the near future, you will face some brand new evils, but this time, it won't be the `Chosen Duelists' that have the power to face them. Their duties are done.”

 

Kagome asks, perplexed, “If it isn't us, then who has the power to face this new evil?”

 

Yeshua says, plainly, “The five `Signers'.”

 

Kurama says, seriously, “I see. So, you are talking about the People of the Stars.”

 

Yusuke asks, perplexed, “Wait? Kurama, you know about this?!”

 

Kurama says, with a nod, “Yes. Three thousand years ago, in the Americas, there was an advanced Native America race known as the People of the Stars that worshipped a great red star that existed since the dawn of time and burned bright over the skies in the area that these people lived in. There was great power within the red star. However, there were great evils that ravaged the lands and the people there prayed for help by the stars. The red star, which was somehow some kind of sentient being, transformed into what is known as the Crimson Dragon. The Crimson Dragon came down to the Earth and sealed the evil forces within an area known today as the Nazca lines.”

 

Trista says, with a nod, “I know this well from my days in the Gates of Time. The Crimson Dragon had great power, but it needed help from five chosen warriors known as `Signers'. After the evil was sealed away, the Crimson Dragon went into a great slumber. The seal on the evils in the Nazca Lines wouldn't last forever and the power of the Crimson Dragon will be needed again should the evil great free. But in order to awaken, the Crimson Dragon needs the help of the latest generation of `Singers' and their five dragons.”

 

Yeshua says, with a nod, “Correct, Time Guardian. Maxamillion Pegasus discovered the legend and he has reincarnated the dragons into five special new cards. These five decks contain the five dragons within them, one for each deck.”

 

Kuwabara asks, perplexed, “Okay, why give them to us?”

 

Hiei says, plainly, “Simple, fool. The evil of the Nazca Lines are starting to awaken.”

 

Yeshua says, with a plain tone, “Correct. Sailor Earth and I know this quite well and how we know will be revealed in time, but it will take sometime before the evil within the Nazca Lines starts to reveal themselves. For now, the world shall be at peace, but evil will rise again and the `Signers' are the duelists that are capable of stopping them.”

 

Alexis asks, curiously, “How do you find these `Signers'?”

 

Yeshua says, with a serious tone, “The Crimson Dragon will have given them a special birthmark on their right lower arms. Those birthmarks will look like body parts of a dragon namely the Crimson Dragon. Sailor Earth and I only know four birthmarks: Wings of a dragon, Tail of a Dragon, Front Claw, and Rear Claw. The final birthmark is still a mystery to us, but we will find it in time.”

 

As Yeshua closes the briefcase, Yusuke says, with a droll tone, “Thanks for ruining the victory celebration, bud.”

 

Keiko says, while rubbing her lower right arm, “Yusuke, he is just trying to warn us. He doesn't mean to by nasty about it.”

 

Hikari asks Keiko, concerned when she notices Keiko rubbing her arm, “Keiko, what's wrong?”

 

Keiko says, with a kind smile, “My arm feels kind of itchy and it hurts a bit. I'll be fine.” On the meanwhile, Serena winches a bit as she feels a bit of pain from her lower right arm.

 

Serena thinks in her mind, “What's going on here? My arm started to hurt a bit ever since Yeshua opened up that case.”

 

Yeshua hands Darien the case holding the cards and he tells him, “Keep these safe and give them to the Signers when you find them.”

 

Darien says, with a nod, “Of course.”

 

Yeshua says, with a plain tone, “I am leaving with Sailor Earth immediately to find the final birthmark and try to find more about the evil that you will face in the future. Farewell.” Soon after, Yeshua takes his leave of the others.

 

Chazz says, in his usual snobbish tone, “What a weirdo.”

 

Jasmine says, with a plain tone, “But he has been quite the helpful weirdo.”

 

Mindy says, with a nod, “I'll say. Not too much, but he did help us out plenty of times.”

 

Sango says, with a serious tone, “And I'm sure that we will see him, again.”

 

Shippo says, nodding his head, “Yep!”

 

Jaden says, with a smile, “Well, I wouldn't want to duel against his deck!”

 

Alexis says, with a smile, “Oh, Jaden . . .” Alexis kisses him on the lips and Jaden gently puts her into his arms. However, Serena and Keiko can't stop to look at the briefcase with the special `Signer Decks' within them and rub their lower right arms a bit.

 

Rei sees this and she thinks in her mind, concerned, “Serena?”

 

(That evening; at the Obelisk Blue Girls' Dorm)

 

It is early evening as we find Keiko staring up towards the roof and into the star-filled sky with a solemn expression over her face as she looks over her lower right arm, which is covered in a black fingerless gloves that goes up to her elbow.

 

Keiko thinks in her mind, worriedly, “I can't believe that this came back! I thought that it was a wretched mark, but I find out it is supposed to be for people that are supposed to be defenders of humanity! It has caused me so much pain! Pain that not even Yusuke knows about! What if the others find out about it? What will they think of me?” Just then Keiko hears footsteps coming towards her and she turns to see Yusuke walking towards her. Keiko asks, surprised, “Yusuke? What are you doing here?”

 

Yusuke says, with a sly smile, “What do you think Keiko? I'm here looking for you.”

 

Keiko asks Yusuke, curiously, “How did I get in?”

 

Yusuke says, with a smile, “Well, when you are friends with the Queen of the Blue Dorm and Serena, you can be trusted to be allowed in without any problems.”

 

Keiko says, with a sly smile, “They threatened if you look at them the wrong that they will hit you `where the sun don't shine'.”

 

Yusuke says, drolly, “Don't remind me, Kei.”

 

Keiko says, with a kind smile, “I'm sorry. I know that you wouldn't do anything behind my back.” Keiko asks, with a glare and sly grin, “Would you?”

 

Yusuke says, with a nervous tone, “No way! That's the `old me', Kei!”

 

Keiko says, with a kind smile, “Just kidding!”

 

Yusuke says, with a sigh and smile, “Keiko Yukimura, you are just weird sometimes!”

 

Keiko goes over to Yusuke and she tells him, “But I'm your weirdo, right?”

 

Yusuke says, with a loving smile, “Yes, you are.” The two of them share a passionate kiss for a minute and they release from the kiss. Yusuke notices Keiko's new gloves and he asks, curiously, “What's with the new gloves Kei?” Keiko gives a nervous look and Yusuke says, with a kind smile, “Oops! Hey, who I am to put my nose where it doesn't belong? Forget it, Kei!”

 

Keiko says, shaking his head, “No! No, it's all right, Yusuke. It's just . . .” Keiko then takes off the glove on her lower right arm and Yusuke gasps to see a red birthmark like a dragon's front claw on it.

 

Yusuke yells out, stunned, “What the?! Keiko, when did you get this?!”

 

Keiko says, nervously, “After Yeshua shows us those decks, my arm felt really weird. It hurt and it was itching. Just sometime ago, this mark appeared. I was afraid that the others would think it is a tattoo or something, so, I . . . you know . . .”

Yusuke thinks in his mind, “Something tells me that Keiko isn't telling me the whole story here. It is like that she knows more about this mark that she is letting on. But there is no way! We only found about these `dragon birthmarks' and such today.” Yusuke decides not to pry and he says, plainly, “It looks like a dragon's claw.”

 

Keiko says, with a nod, “It is Yusuke. You can tell. It looks I'm one of these `Signers'.”

 

Yusuke yells out, seriously, “No damn way! I'm not going to let you fight some kind of evil that might be more sadistic than this alien freak that used you before!”

 

Keiko tells Yusuke, with a serious tone, “Yusuke, I don't have choice in the matter. And something tells me that if I don't fight it, it will come after you. And after all that's happen, I wouldn't forgive myself if anything happened to you.”

 

Yusuke says, with an amazed expression, “Keiko . . .”

 

Keiko tells Yusuke, with a warm loving smile, “Besides, I know that I'm not fighting it alone as long as you are on my side.”

 

Yusuke says, with a loving sly grin, “And you better believe it, Kei! If you think that I'm going to let go off this alone, you've got another thing coming!”

 

Keiko says, with a loving tone, “I wouldn't have it any other way, Yusuke.” The two of them share a passionate kiss as they close their eyes and embrace, but Keiko's eyes open a bit and she gives a look of anger towards the mark on her arm causing her to think, “You had better not bring that wretched power that I once had!” Keiko then closes her eyes and continues to enjoy the kiss.

 

On the meanwhile, Yusuke winches slightly from a pain that came into his lower right arm and he thinks, opening his eyes a little, “Ow! What the heck?! Where did this pain in my arm come from?!”

 

(At the beach; on the meanwhile)

 

Around this same time at the beach, we find Lita and Tyranno relaxing on a beach blanket while looking at the various stars in the sky, but Tyranno has a slight nervous blush on his cheek.

 

Lita tells Tyranno, with a blush on her cheeks, “It's a beautiful night, huh?”

 

Tyranno says, with a nod, “Yeah! It is kind of nice to look at the stars especially after this war.”

 

Lita says, with a nod, “Yeah! Hopefully, we can get on with our lives. But then again, things don't usually work out that way.”

 

Tyranno asks, with a curious tone, “You are usually back in the trenches, huh?”

 

Lita says, with a sigh and smile, “Yeah, we are. When we defeat one enemy, a new one appears to takes its place. The life of a Sailor Scout never ends and this is our life.”

 

Tyranno says, with a nod, “Yep! That's a soldier's life. However, it doesn't that you can't enjoy the R and R that you get after a battle.”

 

Lita says, with a warm smile, “Well, you have a point Hassleberry.” Tyranno can't help to flush when he sees Lita's smile and the two of them start to look back up at the stars in the sky while unknowingly move their hands closer together. Lita tells Tyranno, “Hey, Hassleberry?”

 

Tyranno asks Lita, “Yeah, Lita, what's up?”

 

Lita says, with a blush in her cheeks, “It's just . . .” When Lita and Tyranno look at each other, they notice that Tyranno's left hand and Lita's right hand are touching each other causing the two of them to majorly blush.

 

The two of them break away and Tyranno says, nervously with a major blush in his cheeks, “Sorry, ma'am.”

 

Lita tells Tyranno, with a major blush, “Don't worry, Hassleberry.”

 

Tyranno asks Lita, curiously, “Hey, Lita?”

 

Lita replies, curiously, “Yes, Hassleberry?”

 

Tyranno asks, with a major blush on his cheeks and a nervous tone, “Do you believe . . . in . . . well, love at first sight?”

 

Lita gives a major blush from her cheeks and she asks, with an embarrassed smile on her lips, “Why . . . Why do you ask that?”

 

Tyranno says, with a major blush and slightly nervous tone, “I think . . . I think that I experienced that.”

 

Lita then gets a sly smile on her lips, puts her hand over Tyranno's hand, and she asks, slyly, “And may I ask with who?” The two of them then look each other in the eyes and they just stare at each other for awhile, but during that time, their faces inch closer and closer to each other.

 

Tyranno says, with a major flush, “Well, I'm not sure that this is professional, but I've experienced this with a fellow soldier. I gal that I fought with in this war.”

 

Lita tells Tyranno, with a sly smile, “Well, I don't think it is against any rules for a solider to fall in love.”

 

Tyranno says, with a warm smile, “I guess it doesn't.” Soon after, the two of them close their eyes and kiss passionately.

 

Lita thinks in her mind, with an excited tone, “Oh, wow! What a kisser!” The two of them then gently embrace as they kiss even more passionately.

 

(The following morning; Within Academy harbor)

 

In the middle morning hours, we find ourselves within Academy Island's harbor where we see Aster packing his stuff on his personal yacht. Just then he hears footsteps coming towards him and he looks to see Rei Hino walking towards him.

 

Aster asks Rei, curiously, “What are you doing here?”

 

Rei retorts, with a sly smile, “Why do you think?”

 

Aster says, with a sly grin, “I see.”

 

Rei asks Aster, curiously, “So, you thought about leaving without saying goodbye Phoenix?”

 

Aster says, with a sly grin, “I'm not the mushy type.”

 

Rei asks Aster, curiously, “Where is Sartorius and Sarina?”

 

Aster says, with a smile, “They went back on the helicopter. They should be at my home by now.”

 

Rei asks Aster, curiously, “By the way, since that rotten foster dad of yours is gone, what are you going to do?”

 

Aster says, with a sly smile, “Well, normally, I would inherit all of the D's money and fortune, but I've got my ways to get access.”

 

Rei says, with a sly smile, “I see. You have your ways, I see.”

 

Aster says, with a sly grin, “I've learned a thing or two.”

 

Rei says, with a sly smile, “I see.”

 

Aster asks Rei, curiously, “Are you planning to `punish me' for going back on my promise?”

 

Rei says, with a wide sly grin, “Oh, yeah! About that . . .”

 

Aster thinks in his mind, nervously, “Oh, great! Here it comes! With a girl like her, there is no way that I can't fight back!” Aster waits for the blows to start coming, but instead, Rei surprises him by giving him a quick peck on the lips.

 

Aster gives a look of surprised while Rei, trying to keep her composer while having a slight blush on her cheeks, says, “I can understand why you did what you did and I've got to admit that you were quite brave. I'm just glad that you are okay. But don't let this go to your head.”

 

Aster says, with a sly smile, “Okay. But you call that a kiss? Let me show what a real kiss is all about.” Before Rei could make a move or say a word in reply, Aster wraps his arms around Rei and kisses her passionately right on the kiss. Normally, Rei would have pushed away and slapped Aster right on the lips hard and needless to say that the impulse came there immediately, but it was quickly suppressed by a warm and pleasurable feeling that Rei was getting from the kiss as her cheeks flush not of anger, but of embarrassment.

 

Rei thinks in her mind, “What the? I should really pound this guy, but . . . his kiss . . . it feels real good . . . No! No! I can't think that way, but I . . . I . . .” In the end, Rei's body betrays her and she closes her eyes as she returns the kiss with the same love and passion while wrapping her arms around Aster's chest and back. For the next minute or so, they continued the kiss and when they release from the kiss, Rei can't help herself to flush from embarrassment.

 

Aster asks Rei, with a sly tone, “Well, I'm taking it that you like it. So, you want to start something serious?”

 

Rei tells Aster, with a major flush, “What? No way! I swore an oath to my princess! Besides, the majority of men are just pigs!”

 

Aster asks Rei, with a sly smile, “I am in that category?”

 

Rei says, with her major flush in her cheeks, “No! You are different. You seem like most men, but even I can see that you are different from other guys.”

 

Aster asks Rei, with a sly tone, “Then what's the problem?”

 

Rei tells Aster, with a rare nervous tone, “I swore an oath . . . to Serena . . . to protect her . . . and my oath didn't involve romance . . .”

 

Aster asks Rei, with a sly curious tone, “But your princess would want you to be happy, right?”

 

Rei replies, her flush in her cheeks still there, “Well, yes . . .”

 

Aster tells Rei, with a sly tone, “Well, I don't see the problem. Most men would see that fiery attitude of yours to be a problem, but there are some that can really taking a liking to your personality.” Rei can't to really flush as much as humanly possible and she couldn't help to stare into Aster's eyes as he moves his lips closer to hers. When their lips touch, the two of them go into a passionate kiss and as much Rei doesn't want to, she returns Aster's kiss with the same love and passion as he is giving her. As they continue to kiss, Aster gently strokes Rei's hair causing her to feel really warm in her heart and unable to be angry at Aster at all in this moment. After another few minutes, Aster and Rei pull back from the kiss and Rei can't help herself to `melt' into Aster's arms as she looks at him breathlessly. Aster tells Rei, with a sly and loving tone, “Maybe we should ask your princess if it is okay with her. Then it won't be a problem, right?”

 

Rei says, breathlessly, “I . . . I . . .” Her mind totally race with what to do and the warm feeling in her heart isn't helping her confusion. After a minute, Rei doesn't say a word, but nods her head.

 

Aster says, with a loving seductive tone, “Okay, then. Let's go find her.” Aster then heads off to find Serena and the others and Rei tries to get something out of her mouth, but the words don't come and she just follows Aster.

 

(Sometime later; with the other heroes and heroines)

 

In front of the Ra Yellow Dorm, our heroes and heroines, minus Rei, are assembled with the majority of our heroes and heroines assembled around Keiko, Yusuke, and Serena as they show off their lower right arms. Keiko has a red front dragon's claw on her lower right arm, Yusuke has a red dragon's wings on his lower right arm, and Serena has red rear dragon's claw on her lower right arm.

 

Ami asks, amazed, “Incredible! And you say that you got this yesterday Serena?”

 

Serena says, with a nod, “No joke, Ami-chan! After I took my bath, I found this on my lower right arm.”

 

Keiko asks Serena, curiously, “Was your arm aching after Yeshua showed us those special cards?”

 

Serena says, with a nod, “Yeah! It was!”

 

Rini asks, curiously, “Does that mean that mommy is a `Signer'?”

 

Kurama says, with a nod, “Indeed. It fits the prediction of the People of the Stars and the `Signers'.”

 

Serena says, worriedly, “Oh, man! I can't go home like this! My parents will think that I got a tattoo!”

 

Keiko thinks in her mind, “You would be lucky if your parents thought that about this `thing'.”

 

Kuwabara asks, curiously, “So, we found three of these `Signers'?”

 

Hiei says, with his usual tone, “It is quite obvious, fool.”

 

Kagome, who is wearing a female Obelisk Blue uniform now, asks, curiously, “But which of the decks do Yusuke, Keiko, and Serena get?”

 

Alexis says, plainly, “Yeshua wasn't so specific.”

 

Yusuke says, in his usual tone, “No joke! It is not surprising! People like him are always so cryptic!”

 

Jaden asks, curiously, “So, what do we do?”

 

Keiko says, with a perplexed tone, “Maybe you should show us the decks and we choose on our own. Maybe we've got some kind of `sixth sense' or something that will allow us to find which belongs to which one of us.”

 

Jasmine says, with a shrug, “Sound pretty out there, but then again, we've done that before.”

 

Mindy says, with a nod, “Yep!”

 

Lita says, with a sly smile, “Let's give a try.”

 

Tyranno says, nodding his head in agreement, “Sure! It wouldn't hurt!”

 

But before they could get started, a familiar male voice calls out, “Well, aren't you quite the motley group?” Everyone looks to see Aster Phoenix walking up with Rei Hino, who has a blush on her cheeks, behind him.

 

Jaden says, with a smile, “Hey, Aster! What's up?”

 

Aster says, with a sly smile, “I should be asking you the same thing. You sound like you were in real discussion.”

 

Chazz says, in his usual snobbish tone, “So, what's it to you?”

 

Aster then notices the `dragon birthmarks' on Serena's, Keiko's, and Yusuke's arms and he says, amazed, “Whoa! What are those?”

 

Jaden says, with a nervous smile, “Well, they are three of those `dragon birthmarks' that Yeshua mentioned.”

 

When Rei comes up and sees them, she gasps and she asks, stunned, “Wait! Doesn't that mean that they are three of these `Signers'?”

 

Kurama says, with a nod, “It is the logical conclusion.”

 

Bastion says, with a logical tone, “We were preparing to have Serena, Yusuke, and Keiko take a look at three of the decks.”

 

Lita asks Rei, “By the way, Rei, where did you go? And why are you here with Aster?”

 

Rei gives a beet red look and Aster says, with a sly smile, “Well, we are here to ask her princess something.”

 

Rei gives a yelp and Serena asks, curiously, “Yes?”

 

Rei starts to sweat bullets, Mina notices this, and she gains a wide sly grin on her lips causing her to say, slyly, “I get it!”

 

Everyone looks at Mina and Mindy asks Mina, perplexed, “What do you get Mina?”

 

Mina says, with a sly smile while looking at Rei starting to get a beet red look on her cheeks, “Rei is blushing in embarrassment. Rei is asking that if Serena can forgive her going back on her promise on the Silver Millennium since she likes Aster!”

 

Everyone gasps in shock and Rei yells out, annoyed, “Mina-chan!”

 

Many of our heroes and heroines look at Rei with amazed looks and Hotaru asks, curiously, “Is that true Rei-chan? You want to become Aster-san's girlfriend?”

 

Rei replies, in a rare and usually not seen nervous tone, “I . . . well . . .” Rei, with a major flush, in her cheeks nods her head.

 

Chazz asks, in his usual snobbish tone with a perplexed tone, “What? You've got to be kidding! Who would want to be the girlfriend with that punk?” Rei gives a flush of anger and lands on knock to Chazz's head causing him to cry out in pain.

 

Syrus says, with a sigh, “Way to go, Chazz.”

 

Alexis says, shaking her head with a sigh, “Same old Chazz Princeton.”

 

Atticus says, with a sly grin, “Well, everything is back to normal dudes.”

 

Jaden says, with a sly smile, “No kidding.”

 

Aster says, looking with a wide smile, “I've got to say that I can't help to like that fiery attitude.”

 

Rei gives a major flush in her cheeks and she says, “If you think that flattery is going to get you anywhere with me, Phoenix, then you are kidding.”

 

Aster asks, slyly, “Then why are you blushing?” Aster then kisses Rei on her cheek causing her to become red as a strawberry.

 

Mina asks Rei, with a teasing tone, “Yeah, Rei-chan, why are you blushing?”

 

Rei says, with a deadly tone in her voice, “Mina-chan . . .” Immediately, gets a deadly glare in her eyes causing Mina to yelp out in fear as she runs behind Lita.

 

Lita says, with a nervous smile, “Easy, everyone. Let's not start anything. We've just finally finished one heck of a fight and we need to enjoy ourselves.”

 

Keiko says, with a smile, “That's right, Lita.”

 

Kagome says, with a nod, “Good point, Kei.”

 

Inuyasha asks, with a curious tone, “Aren't you worried about this new evil? Plus, what about the Beryl character going after that Millennium Spellbook?”

 

Kagome tells Inuyasha, with a kind smile, “Yes, we are Inuyasha, but that doesn't mean that we can't enjoy the peace before we have to fight again.”

 

Inuyasha says, with a snort, “Well, it is my opinion that we nip this in the butt before it gets out of hand.”

 

Kagome says, with a smile, “I know, but we don't know when this new evil will show itself. Plus, it is such a beautiful day.”

 

Melody says, shaking her head and with a disgusted tone, “I can't believe that my brother is in love with a peon like you. Kikyo was a real wench, but at least she is smarter than you.”

 

Kagome yells out, annoyed, “What's your problem?”

 

Melody calls out, angrily, “You are my problem, witch!”

 

Inuyasha gets in-between of Kagome and Melody and he yells out, strongly, “That's enough! Melody, I'm staying with Kagome! And as long that's so, you and she are going to have to get along!” Melody gives a cross look and she crosses her head as she turns her head away.

 

Kagome asks Inuyasha, “Man! Inuyasha, is your sister always like this?”

 

Inuyasha thinks in his mind, drolly, “You have no idea, Kagome!”

 

Tyranno says, with a nod, “However, Private Higurashi has a point. Let's enjoy ourselves before we have to get back to the battlefield. Like I always say: `All work and no play gets a solider busted up another day'.”

 

Syrus says, nervously, “I'm not sure what that means, but I think that it does have some significance.”

 

Hotaru says, with a giggle, “I guess that you are right, Syrus-kun.”

 

Jaden says, with a sly smile, “Anyway, we should enjoy ourselves until we have to go on our next big adventure. And I can't wait! Hopefully, this time, we will have some sweet new duelists to fight! I mean Serena and I are the co-winners of the GX tournament.”

 

Chazz thinks in his mind, drolly, “Don't remind me Slacker.”

 

Mina says, excitedly, “Oh, yeah! We're going to be traveling the world! This is so awesome!”

 

Ami says, with a kind smile, “Technically, Serena and Jaden are going to be traveling the world.”

 

Serena says, with a warm smile, “I'm sure that they will allow the rest of you to come along!”

 

Jaden says, with a sly grin, “You are all people that we care about, so, I'm sure that they will pay for all of you tagging along.”

 

Kuwabara yells out, excitedly, “Yeah!”

 

Serena tells Rei, with a warm smile, “And by the way, Rei-chan, I want you to find love. I was wondering when you would find that special someone and personally, Trista told me that I didn't like it when you made that promise to me back in the Silver Millennium. I wanted you to find love.”

 

Rei gains a wide flush on her cheeks and Rei tells Serena, “Serena, I . . .”

 

Serena tells Rei, with a wide smile, “Don't worry about Rei-chan. Just promise me that you will forget that silly promise about not finding love and find love this time. Or maybe I should make it an order by your princess?”

 

Rei says, with a sly grin, “Fine, Meatball Head. I promise.”

 

Serena says, with a sly smile, “Good.”

 

Kagome asks, with a smile, “Anyway, what should we do for today?”

 

Yusuke says, with a sly smile, “We don't have much time before the year ends and all.”

 

Jaden yells out, with a smile, “I know! How about a fun duel this time?!”

 

Alexis says, with a warm loving smile, “Same old Jay!”

 

Jaden says, with a warm loving tone to Alexis, “Well, I can only be me, Lex.”

 

Alexis says, with a sly loving tone, “And you better be.” Alexis and Jaden share a kiss with each other.

 

Yusuke says, with a sly smile, “Why not? Plus, I want to take you and Serena on since I left the tournament! The tournament was your show, but this time, I plan to beat you!”

 

Jaden says, with a sly grin, “We'll see about that Yusuke! Get your game on!” The two of them prepare to duel as plenty of the others watch with wide smiles on their lips while Serena looks into the air while glancing at her mysterious dragon birthmark.

 

Darien asks Serena, with a kind smile, “Is something wrong, Serena?”

 

Serena says, with a plain tone, “No. Not really. It's just . . . this dragon birthmark, `Signers', and this Crimson Dragon stuff. I don't get why I was chosen. I might be the Moon Princess and all, but I'm not sure that qualifies to be a `Signer'.”

 

Darien says, with a smile, “Well, maybe this Crimson Dragon chosen because of your good spirit, Serena. It sounds like the Crimson Dragon is a sentient being and a force of good. I'm sure that it made the right choice.”

 

Serena says, with a nod, “I know. I'll try to take the responsibility well. And I know that I can face anything with you on my side.”

 

Darien tells Serena, with a warm loving smile, “I'll never leave your side and I'll always be here for you.”

 

Serena replies, with a loving tone, “I know, Darien-kun.” The two of them share a loving and passionate kiss before preparing to watch Jaden's and Yusuke's duel. However, Serena looks up into the sky and thinks, “However, I can't help to wonder what we are going to face. Not only do we have to deal with Beryl trying to get the Millennium Spellbook that contain the very ritual that created the Millennium Items, but another new evil from the Americas and a new kind of `Chosen Duelists', the `Signers', in which Keiko, Yusuke, and I are three of them. Also, I can't help to wonder who are the other two `Signers' going to be.”

 

(Back on the mainland; a short time later within the city of Tokyo)

 

Returning to the mainland, we find ourselves in front of an abandoned warehouse where a mysterious portal appears and a group of figures fall out as they give cries of surprise as the portal closes behind them. Soon after the portal closes, the figures get up and we see that it looks like one human and a group of monsters.

 

The human male looks to be 19 years of age with deep brown hair tied in a short ponytail coming down the rear of his scalp, deep brown eyes, he has a black shirt under a red vest, dark blue jeans with a matching black belt with a strange rectangle orange and black device attached to the black belt, black sneakers, and on his lower right arm, there looks like red mark similar to the end of a dragon's tail seem in murals and stuff.

 

The first `monster' looks to be an orange dinosaur that goes up to the tops of the young man's legs with deep green eyes and red bands attached to his claw-like hands.

 

The second `monster' looks to be a blue and white humanoid wolf with yellow eyes, a red bandana across its forehead, and red boxing gloves covering his hands.

 

The third `monster' a plant-like creature with a pink head with small eyes and a mouth with yellow bud coming out of its scalp and it has a green body with small stub-like hands and legs.

 

The fourth `monster' looks to be an owl-like humanoid creature red marking around his yellow eyes, orange beak, and dark violet ninja shirt with yellow shuriken attached to left and right side of the shirt.

 

The fifth `monster' is small, but he has a long white body with a red earring on its long left ear, yellow eyes, yellow collar around its neck, and strange yellow circuit like markings on its white body.

 

The sixth `monster' is a humanoid turtle creature with black eyes and blue helmet on his head.

 

The seventh and eighth `monsters' are about the same with the two of them being small knight-like creatures, but the seventh one is black armored and the eighth one being a white armored creature.

 

The ninth `monster' is a pink bird that's the size of the dinosaur creature with blue tips at the ends of the feathers that make up its tail and scalp, yellow legs, and silver ring around its left leg.

 

The dinosaur monster says, amazed, “Awesome! We're back in the Human World, boss!”

 

The young man says, with a nod, “Right, Agumon.” He looks up into the sky and he thinks, plainly, “Five years . . .”

 

The plant-like creature says, with a smile, “I can't wait to see Yoshi again!”

 

The small white monster says, with a serious tone, “Yes. We are all glad that we were allowed to return to the Human World. However, there is more important business to do here. The mysterious breaks in the barrier between the Human and Digital Worlds need to be found out. King Drasil said that an evil alien force has disputed the balance of light and darkness in the universe causing these breaks. Even through the force was somehow defeated, new evils from ancient times on Earth are slowly causing more chaos to the Digital World even through small at first.”

 

The wolf-like creatures asks, curiously, “Kudamon, does the mark that appeared on Marcus' arm have anything to do with it?” The wolf-like creature then points to the mark on the young man's right arm.

 

Kudamon says, with a nod, “Yes, I believe so Gaomon.”

 

Agumon asks, curiously, “What does that mark on the boss mean?”

 

Kudamon says, shaking his head, “I don't know, Agumon. Based on what I know of Human World, it kind of looks like a dragon's tail. I've seen plenty of Dragon Digimon with similar tail designs.”

 

Marcus, the young man, says, with a serious tone, “Well, whatever it is. We're going to find out. We will need to get in contact with the others. I hope that they are all right after all this time.” Just then an image of large crimson dragon with yellow eyes and seemly made of energy comes into Marcus' mind and he thinks, strongly, “That red dragon again! Why does it appear in my mind?”

 

The owl-like creature asks Marcus, curiously, “Are you okay, Marcus?”

 

Marcus replies, with a serious tone, “I'm fine, Falcomon.” When Marcus looks at the red mark on his right arm and he looks up into the sky, he thinks, “But something tells me that we are in a fight that could mean more than the safety of the human world and the Digital World.” Marcus thinks in his mind, with a sly smile, “Well, whatever it is. We're going to take it down!” Just then a loud crash is heard from behind them and the group turns to see a large humanoid creature made of orange colored flames with his mouth sown together coming out of the abandoned warehouse, which has started to burn with flames.

 

Gaomon says, with a serious tone, “A Meramon!”

 

Marcus takes out his orange and black device and he says, with a serious tone, “The two of you better stay back! With the others to help you, you can't digivolve!” Marcus asks Agumon, “Ready, Agumon?”

 

Agumon says, with a sly smile, “Yeah!”

 

Marcus and Agumon say in unison, excited tone in their voices, “The Ultimate Team is back! It's fighting time again!” The two of them then charge towards Meramon and they prepare for battle.

 

(Back at Academy Island; Sometime later)

 

Returning to Academy Island, we find the duel between Jaden and Yusuke ends in a draw between the two of them and the two of them give each other sly smiles as the dueling holograms vanishes while their duel disk de-activate.

 

Jaden says, with a smile, “Sweet duel, Yusuke!”

 

Yusuke says, with a sly smile, “Just another duel for you, Jay! Man! It is going to be tough to beat you, but one day, I will!”

 

Jaden says, with a smile, “Ha! We will see, Yusuke! I'm going to be the King of Games one day and I'm going straight for the top!”

 

Kagome says, with a sly grin, “Well, I'm going to be the Queen of Games one day!” On the meanwhile, Keiko and Serena are looking into the distance towards the mainland.

 

Alexis asks the two of them, “Is there something wrong?”

 

Serena says, with a kind smile, “No. Nothing really.”

 

Keiko says, with a kind smile, “Thought we were hearing things.” However, Keiko thinks in her mind, “But I knew that I thought I felt something. Could it have been another `Singer'?” However, as the group were enjoying their final days on Academy Island before the summer, they didn't notice that two figures in two different locations are watching. One of them looks similar to Kagome, but her black hair is tied in a ponytail and she is wearing a miko's kimono.

 

The woman says, in a deep woman-like voice, “At long last, we meet again, Inuyasha.” On the meanwhile, on the tree tops, we find small pink creature with four ears that have violet markings all over them, golden crescent moon sigil on its forehead, pink eyes, golden crescent moon sigils on its body and backhand portion of its small hands, pink ribbons in `X' style over its chest held together a silver metal with a crescent moon with eyes in the center, and no legs while it is standing upright revealing it to be a humanoid creature.

 

The strange pink creature says, with a warm smile and female voice, “I've finally found you . . . Serena.” The pink creature then displays a pink and violet version of Marcus' device and it says, “The prophecy has begun and the world shall depend on you and the other `Chosen Ones'.” While our heroes and heroines don't notice the Kagome-look-alike, Inuyasha and Melody sense her presence.

 

Melody thinks in her mind, “What the heck?! What in the heck is that witch doing here?! I thought that my brother and her rotten reincarnation told me she was gone for good!”

 

Inuyasha yells out in his mind, “No way! She can't be here! It's impossible! But I can smell her! And something tells me that she isn't here for a friendly hello!” As our heroes and heroines mainly enjoy the rest from the aftermath of the battle with the Light of Destruction, it seems like new adventures are closer than they could have ever imagine . . .

 

The End . . . for now

 

Well, this is it! The grand finale of this story! And in this chapter, I've sent plenty of foreshadowing of what the future will hold! I will make a sequel to this story and I'm going to add Digimon Data Squad into the storyline as well as a lot of elements from Yu-Gi-Oh 5ds including Signers, the Crimson Dragon, the five `Signer Dragons', and much more. With over 140 reviews, I have to say that this story is a major success despite the mistakes that I made into it. However, I will learn from the mistakes of this story and make sure that they won't be put into the sequel, `Twilight Wars', or any future stories similar to this one. Plus, I hope to make up for the mistakes in this story, but correcting them in the sequel, which I hope to one day make. But the sequel will contain less `mature' material than this one. I'm planning to `turn down' that `material'. Hopefully, the problems with my dad and his job will be resolved in a manner that's positive to me and my family. I hope to be in your prayers and I thank you for all of your support! Now, please read and review and tell me what you think! I'll read your reviews as soon as I can and I'll catch you on the flip side, Crossover and Dueling Fans!
