"Aniki wake up, quick!"

"Uh… five more minutes…" It was seven in the morning and for someone like Jaden, this means that it's still time to sleep and of course all of his friends including Syrus know it but there's no way he's going to let him do as he wish, at least not for today.

"C'mon… did you forget that there's an important event today?" Syrus said while shaking Jaden's body, he was doing it slowly at first but since it didn't work he start to do it harder and harder but it seems that Jaden had already fall deep enough into dream world for him to ignore everything.

"Uh… what should I do?" Syrus put both his hands on his head and whine in the floor before the door opened suddenly which made him look toward it and he could see a person with a yellow jacket stand there.

"Bastion?"

"Hello Syrus, I come to pick you and… it seems that you need some help here." Bastion said while putting his right hand on his chin while looking at the sleeping figure on the bed

"But he won't wake up no matter what I did."

"So… did you try this too?" Bastion turned on his duel disk and put a card on it and a metal dragon which had a gun-like head and arms appear between him and Syrus "Did you forgot? This is how I woke you guys up before." Syrus smack himself for not trying it before, he glance a bit at Bastion and quickly put his hands on his ears as Bastion had do and it was fortunate that he did it since a second later the dragon had blast its bullets away and made a noise so hard it even reach the Ra dorm.

The effect was the same as it did when Bastion did it the first time, it ended up with Jaden fall head first to the ground, soon he opened his eyes and he could see his friends with a metal dragon beside them in an upside-way.

"Okay guys, what's the big idea?" Jaden said while getting up from the floor

"The big idea is that we have to go to the academy now if we want to see the three famous duelist from Domino City." Bastion said while crossing his arms

It took Jaden a while before he catch the meaning of his words and soon all hell break loose with Jaden running everywhere while throwing his clothes (Just clothes, he still wear his pants) at any direction and took a new one together with a towel while heading outside toward the shower and in less that ten minutes he had returned back to the room fully clothed, after throwing just everything he had on his hand at the bed he quickly run toward the door and turn around toward his friends.

"Quick guys, we can't be late on such event!" Jaden said which made both his friends sighed but they decide to follow him and soon the three were running all the way to the academy.

"By the way Sy, where's Chumley?" Jaden said while keep on running

"He had gone an hour ago, even I got surprised when I see him already prepared when I woke up." Syrus said

"Hoo… talk about a special day." Jaden said while looking toward Syrus before… "Ugh!" he ram on a tree head on...

"Aniki…" Syrus sighed as he put his hand on his head while Bastion just chuckled while saying "And talk about a bad way to start it."

Five minutes later the three had finally reach the academy hall and start to look around to look for any sign of their friends before Jaden heard his name called by someone which happened to be Alexis. Soon the three joined their friends which had booked some chairs which luckily are on the forward seats, well everything was thanks to Atticus who came quite early with Zane and when two of the most famous duelist of the Obelisk Blue booked some chairs, there's no way someone else will dare to took it.

"For the first time you're early Jaden." Alexis said while giggling

"That's right, I only hope that the storm come after this event." this time it was Atticus who said it

"Well, there's always a first for everything right?" Jaden said with a big grin on his face

"Shhh… the event's going to start." Bastion said while putting a finger in front of his mouth

Bastion's statement made everyone quickly turn silent while facing the stage where Doctor Crowler is standing with a mike on his hand.

"Greetings every students of the Duel Academy! Today we've got a visit from three great duelist from Domino City who will stayed here in our academy for a week! And here they are, welcome to Yugi Mutou, Kaiba Seto, and Joey Wheeler!" Doctor Crowler raise his hand and directed it toward the side of the stage and soon the three start to walk toward the middle of the stage while every students including Jaden and the others clap their hands. The event continue with a speech from both Yugi and Kaiba, as Yugi is the king of games and Kaiba is the owner of Duel Academy. Some of the people on the hall was listening to their speech while others just admiring their favorite duelist and idol but all the time there's one particular student who keep on staring at them but for a very different reason and that particular person is…Jaden Yuki.

'Wh-what's this feeling, why do I feel so…nostalgic…?'

"Aniki, what's wrong?" Syrus whispered a bit after realizing Jaden's strange behavior which also took the attention of his other friends

It took Jaden a while before realizing that Syrus had called him and whispered back "The-there's nothing Sy, I just got some strange feeling when I see them…Like I've known them for a long time…"

"Of course slacker, how come you didn't know the two greatest duelist in this world?" Chazz said in a mocking tone, he was smiling while giving a "you're stupid" look toward Jaden but soon stopped when Jaden shook his head a bit

"No, it's not like that… I feel that I've…spent some time with them…that I've been their friends for a long time…" Jaden said in a low voice

"But… that's impossible." Bastion said

"I know, but I just felt that way…Guess it's just imagination…" Jaden said while smiling weakly

"Jaden…" Alexis was about to said something before Doctor Crowler start to speak again

"And for our main event! Tomorrow evening three lucky students will be having a duel with these three great duelist!" Crowler said before the whole students yelled happily and soon everyone start to discussed about who will be the lucky one, of course Zane was the candidate number one from the discussion.

"And now we will announce who the three are! After we discussed these for some time we decided that the three competitor will be the aces from every dorms!" of course all the students yelled again and although some of the Obelisk blue students reject it and said that the Slifer will only give a disgracing duel but they're soon stopped when some others made them remember about how the ace from Slifer Red, namely Jaden, had saved the world by beating the Shadow Riders.

"Now please be silent!" Crowler ordered and soon everyone had stop talking and face toward him while Crowler himself is looking around and soon he spotted the ones he's been looking for "And now, since I see that the three aces are sitting side by side I asked you to please come to the stage. So everyone, please welcome the three aces from each dorm, Zane Truesdale from Obelisk Blue, Bastion Misawa from Ra yellow, and sla- cough Jaden Yuki from Slifer Red!" Crowler was about to said 'slacker' but quickly stopped since he didn't want to made a bad impression in front of the King of Games.

After looking toward each others the three stand up from their seats and start to walk toward the stage with applause from everyone especially their friends, after reaching the stage the three shakes hand with Yugi, Kaiba, and Joey. Joey didn't feel anything when he shakes hand but not with Kaiba and Yugi, they had a really strange feeling when they shakes hand with Jaden, Yugi decide to ignore it for a moment while Kaiba give a glare toward him.

"Now since everyone had been in the stage I will announce the schedule of the battle, the first battle will be Zane Truesdale versus… Yugi Mutou!" the crowd cheer while Yugi faced toward Zane and give a warm smile while Zane just nodded

"And the second battle will be Bastion Misawa versus… Kaiba Seto!" the crowd cheer again but everyone was cut as Kaiba suddenly speak

"I reject." Kaiba said while closing his eyes and crossing his arms which made everyone faced him in a confused expression

"Um… excuse me Mr. Kaiba?" Crowler said with a low voice

"I said I reject." Kaiba opened his eyes and faced toward the three duelist academy students which are on the same stage as him "The one I'm going to duel is…him!" Kaiba said while pointing toward Jaden which surprised everyone in the hall

"Bu…but why Sir?" Crowler said again

"I just want to, that's why." Kaiba said before crossing his arms again and glaring toward Crowler which quickly made him turn around "And there's something I want to check" Kaiba said just above whispered and the only who could heard it was Yugi which give him a knowing look.

"O-okay, since this is a special request then the second battle will be Bastion Misawa versus Joey Wheeler! And the third one will be Jaden Yuki versus Kaiba Seto! The duel will be held tommorow in the duel arena at four o'clock so don't be late or you won't be able to watch it!"

An hour later everyone had left the hall including Jaden and the others who are sitting on the chairs just outside of the academy.

"Wow I really envy you three, you're going to had a duel with one of the greatest duelist in this world!" Syrus said

"I just hope that I won't disappointed them" Zane said while crossing his arms when he realize that one of his friend acted quiet strange "Hmm? What's wrong with you Jaden?" this question made everyone faced toward Jaden while the said boy seems to not notice the question and just look at the ground with an unfocused eyes

"Jaden? Are you okay?" Alexis's voice caught Jaden's attention and after looking at her he realized that his friends are looking toward him with a worried expression, well everyone except Chazz

"Eh? Wh-what's wrong guys?"

"You should be the one who explained Jaden, is there something wrong with you?" Bastion asked

"Heh! I'm sure he's just scared at the thought of him duelling the famous Kaiba Seto." Chazz said

"I guess that's not the problem here Chazz" Alexis said before facing Jaden one more time "C'mon Jaden, we're your friends and we'll try to help you if you had a problem."

This time Jaden didn't said anything, instead he just stood and start to walk away but soon he stop and turn around toward his friends "Do-don't worry, I guess I just need some fresh air, bye guys." Jaden said while looking at the ground and soon he turn back and start to run toward the forest in front of the academy.

"There's gonna be something happened with him, I mean… he just got a challenge from Kaiba Seto himself and now he becomes like that?" Atticus said while pointing at where Jaden was standing

"True, if it was the usual Jaden he would be jumping around happily for getting the challenge." Bastion said while putting his right hand on his chin and start to think

"Um guys, could it be connected with the strange feeling aniki's feeling before when he was in the hall with us?" Syrus said which made everyone try to remember what have happened on the hall

"That have a very high possibility and if we look at Kaiba Seto's reaction just now, it's possible that what Jaden felt could be true after all." Bastion said

"Oh c'mon, how could a slacker like him befriend with the greatest duelist in the world, and I bet that he had never gone to domino city before." Chazz said while crossing his arms and look away with his eyes closed

Chazz words made everyone start to think about another reason about why Jaden becomes down but soon there's one particular person that decide it will be better to find it out from Jaden himself and start to walk away from the group

"Alexis? Where're you going?" Atticus said with a surprised look on his face

Alexis keep on walking a few step before she turn around "I'm going to ask Jaden about what's wrong with him, it will be faster that way." 'I'm sure he's hiding something, he also acted strangely this morning when we met.'

"But we didn't know where he's going to." Bastion said

"I think I have a hunch." Alexis said before she start to run away toward the forest Jaden had run into and soon she dissapear from the sight of her confused friends.

"Well, I guess we better let her do it. I'm sure if it's her Jaden will somehow opened himself up." Atticus said before turning around toward Obelisk dorm "C'mon Zane, you've to prepare your deck before tomorrow duel right?" Zane just stood there before nodded while smiling lightly and start to walk away and soon the others start to go their separated way toward their own dorms.

Meanwhile in a cliff nearby the shore a figure wearing a red jacket was standing, he did nothing but gazing toward the sea before a voice caught his attention.

"I knew you're going to be here." the voice behind him took the boy by surprised before he turn around and look at his guest

"Alexis? What're you doing here?"

"That's my question Jaden, now can you explain it to me about why you're acting so strange today?" Alexis said with her hands on her hip

Jaden realized that Alexis had been worried about him, probably all of his friends have too but he is still not sure about telling his problem or not. Beside even if he want to how come they will believe it, that he's the reincarnation of a pharaoh and that there's a psycho who want to kill him so badly? Heck they will laugh at him instead or worse, they will asked him to check himself to a psychiatric, well at least Chazz will.

Getting no answer from the boy Alexis decide to walk closer toward him and take a sit on the grass next to her friend which took the attention of the boy. She realized that he had took notice and pat the place next to her asking him to sit beside her and soon they're sitting side by side while gazing toward the sea.

"Listen Jaden, I don't know what your problems are but I know this… you're gonna feel better when you've told your problem to someone else." Alexis said which made Jaden look toward her and soon the two gaze at each other's eyes before Alexis continue "Do your remember Jaden? Before I was having problem with my brother gone missing and I hold it all by myself, it was so painful and hard for me since I have no one to talk about it." Alexis put her right hand on her chest and look downward and somehow Jaden know that her voice was a sad one, and he also know that this is Alexis before they met, the Alexis who keep all of her problem all by herself

"Alexis…" Jaden was about to said something when Alexis cut him

"But… you've change it all Jaden." Alexis face Jaden one more time and this time she pick Jaden's right hand with her left and lift it up before grabbing it tightly with both of her hands "That day…you've help me to find a slight clue about my brother which was at least enough to proof that he was alive, not only that you even listened to my story about him, lightening the weight on my shoulder and in the end you've given my brother back to me. So Jaden… this time it's my turn, I will help you Jaden… or at least I will made your problem a little lighter than before."

Jaden was quite shocked at the girl statement, was he really done that much to her? But if that's true maybe, just maybe he could tell his problem to her. Even if she didn't believe it but he's at least sure that she won't laugh at it. Jaden smile a bit and hold on Alexis's hand which made Alexis feel quite happy that she managed to at least get past the wall Jaden had build and smile back, well at least until they realize the condition they're in which made both teen blushed red until they're the same color as Jaden's jacket before they let go at each other hand and turn around as fast as they could.

"So-sorry! I….I didn't meant to…" Alexis stammered which only made her even redder

"I-it's okay, at least there's not one around here right?" Jaden said while turning around and soon they're facing each other again and in a matter of second they start to laugh together, they keep on laughing until a voice cut them.

"Well, well, well, it seems that someone is having fun." The voice caught the two by surprise making them look toward the direction of the speaker and soon they caught the figure in the forest, a boy with a long silver hair…

"Ba-Bakura!!!" Jaden yelled which made Alexis look at him, she was about to ask who that boy is before Jaden quickly stand in front of him trying to cover her and she knew that this is not gonna be a good one.

"I'm pleased that you still remember my name." Bakura said before gazing at the still sitting girl "So you're with your girlfriend today?"

"She had nothing to do with this! Leave her alone!" Jaden yelled again but instead of answering Bakura just laughed hardly

"Hahahaha! For your information I don't care at all with that girl, but I think it will be interesting to see your face when you see her DEAD!" just as the words was heard a hand errupted from the ground and grabbed Alexis's body and lift her to the sky

"No, Alexis!" Jaden start to run toward her but something caught his leg, and as he look downward he could see that it was Diabound's tail that had grabbed him but he could only see it for a mere second before he was thrown away and hit a tree.

"Jaden!" Alexis yelled when she saw that her friend had been thrown but she couldn't do anything as she could feel that she was being gripped by something and when she turn around she couldn't believe what she saw, it was something that look exactly like a duel monster.

"Wh-what's this?"

Bakura seems to heard the question as he laughed again before facing toward Alexis "Let me introduce you young girl, this is my spirit Diabound and just as you see this is a REAL monster."

"Real… monster…? But how… and what for…?"

"Sorry but I don't have time to play with you miss, I have someone to kill right now." Bakura said before facing toward the tree Jaden had rammed to but soon he realized that Jaden was nowhere to be seen "Bastard! Where're you?"

"Over here!" Jaden's voice made the two face to side where Jaden was standing with his duel disk on and Alexis could see that a card had been put on it, but her attention was focused on the glowing pyramid-like necklace which is hanging on Jaden's neck. Bakura also seen this and he was about to ordered Diabound something when it was too late as a golden figure had run into Diabound and cut it's hand which was grabbing Alexis. The figure swiftly catch her in the sky and run back toward the place Jaden is standing before putting her on the ground.

"Good job blade edge." Jaden said before facing toward Alexis "Sorry that I got you into this but listen to me Lex, run now and don't look back okay?"

"No she won't!" Bakura yelled and when Jaden look back he could see that Diabound's hand had reattached and now it was coming toward him, ready to hit him again

"Not this time Bakura. Go blade edge, use slice and dice attack!" the golden elemental hero did as it was ordered to and this time not only it cut Diabound's hand but it also managed to slice the body in half and as it did so Bakura fell to his knee and spill some blood from his mouth.

"All right! Now's your chance Alexis, quick run!" Jaden said while helping her to stand

"But what about you? And what's going on here?" Alexis asked with worried expression all over her face

Jaden see the expression, the next thing he do is putting his right hand on Alexis's shoulder and smile "Don't worry Alexis, I promised I will be safe so please run now."

There are still a lot of question on Alexis's mind but she decided to nodded her head and soon she did as she was told and run toward the forest which made Jaden smiled a bit since this way he won't involved her in this fight but what he didn't know is that she stopped halfway and turn back just at the time Diabound had reform back and blown blade edge away with the spiral wave which made Jaden fall to his knee instead thanks to the pain which he felt all of a sudden on his body.

"Don't take me lightly there, you think that I will quit just because you've destroyed Diabound once? Not a chance!" Bakura said while wiping the blood on his mouth

'This is gonna be bad.' Jaden though to himself "This isn't over Bakura!" Jaden said as he pulled a card from his deck and after looking at it he smiled a bit "Now see this Bakura! Field Magic Skyscraper!" Jaden put the magic card on his duel disk and soon buildings start to form itself around them and soon Jaden pull another card from his fusion deck and put it on the duel disk "Now come forth! Elemental Hero Tempest!"

Soon the figure of the green haired elemental hero was flying on top of the building, but soon Jaden got a worried look as he see that Bakur was smiling.

"What's so funny Bakura?!"

"Heh, do you think that this thing will work for the second time?" Bakura smiled wickedly "Watch this, go Diabound!" Bakura yelled and soon Diabound rush toward Tempest although a building is standing between them. To Jaden's surprise Diabound's hand past through the building and a wave of spiral come from it's hand and toward Tempest.

"Wha-! Avoid it Tempest!" Tempest quickly fly away just second before the wave of energy hit the place it was standing.

"Che! Well I guess that's enough as a welcome." Bakura smiled wickedly while facing toward Jaden and he could see it that Jaden was quite surprised

'This is definitely not good, it's able to go past through the wall?' Jaden thought

"Now let's see how you avoid this! Diabound, attack with Spiral Wave!"

"Quick Tempest, attack back!" soon both the two monster launch their attack and they clashed in the sky resulting in a big explosion which destroy almost all of the building and tree nearby and also blow Bakura and Jaden a few meter from where they're standing as the wind resulted from the impact was quite hard.

Second later both Jaden and Bakura are standing in front of a sight that looks like a destroyed city and they could see that both Tempest and Diabound are standing in the middle of it with a lot of wound on their body.

"So it's a tie huh?" Jaden said but soon he got cut by a voice from inside his head "Pharaoh quick and withdraw your monster!"

'Hu-Huh? Is that you Dark Magician? But why?'

Jaden didn't have to wait for the answer as he saw that Diabound's body quickly regenerate and in less than a minute it had been fully healed.

"Go Diabound! Spiral Wave!" Diabound quickly form an energy ball between its hands and blast it toward Tempest and thanks to the wound on its body there's no way Tempest could avoid it.

"Got you!" Bakura said just second before the explosion occurred but his smile quickly disappear when he saw that Tempest was still standing on the ground "What the-!"

"Hehehe too bad Bakura but Diabound is not the only one with a special power." Jaden said while trying to stand up "You might not see it since it had been destroyed but for your information I can make Tempest avoid death by discarding the field magic Skyscraper like I did just now."

"Lucky shot." Bakura spat to the ground without removing his gaze from Jaden "But your monster is worn out now and Diabound will surely destroy it in the next turn!" Bakura pointed toward Tempest while smiling evilly

"Not if I can help it, I'm going to used magic card Heated Heart, and with it my Tempest got a power up." As Jaden put the magic card a glow surround Tempest's body and soon he is fully recovered but still with the glow around his body

"Big deal." Bakura said in a mocking tone

"It's a very big deal Bakura." Jaden put his hand on his deck and draw another card which happened to be the one he want "Know why? Cause I'm summoning this! Dark Magician!" Soon the master magician appear beside Tempest and give a smirk toward Bakura

Second later the three monster start the fight once again and since it is two on one Jaden managed to put up a good fight although he's not using the Skyscraper while not far from there Alexis keep on looking at the fight before her and couldn't help but feel afraid and she finally understand about the reason Jaden became so down, I mean how come anyone be happy when someone out there is trying to kill you now and then, and on top of it… the one who want to kill you is using a REAL monster? But the thing that Alexis couldn't understand is how Jaden can fight without fear? Right now she is standing quite far from the battle but still she feel afraid from the killing aura, wonder how Jaden would feel right there in front of it.

But if she thinks back Jaden had always been the one who did this kind of job, the job of a hero. He was the one who defeat most of the Shadow Riders, the only one Jaden didn't defeat by himself was Titan and the Dark Scorpions and they were a lot weaker than the other Shadow Riders. He was also the one who managed to defeat the three sacred beast cards, the cards that was said to match the power of the god cards. But why… it seems to her now that he always endures it all alone, why must he did that… WHY she can't help him got through all of the pain he had and must endure…?

Alexis feels like she wants to cry from helplessness when she heard a voice talking to her "Do you want to help him?"

"What-? Wh-who-?" Alexis look around but she can't find anyone around her

"There's no need to be afraid, I'm not a threat to you, instead I'm your ally."

"How can I believe that if I can't see you?" Alexis said again

"Draw the card on top of your deck and you'll understand."

"Huh?" Alexis got confused at the explanations but decide to do it anyway and when she draw it the card glow a bit and a figure appear in front of her just like what happened with Jaden eventhough unlike Jaden's monster, the figure was blurry "Yo-you're Dark Magician Girl?"

"That's right, I would explained it more clearly but we have no time for that so listen… I can help my teacher Dark Magician in battle but the problem is that I can't fight without the milenium power like the one they had." Dark Magician Girl said while pointing at the glowing necklace which are hanging on both Jaden's and Bakura's neck.

"So what should I do?" Alexis asked

"Give my card to Jaden and tell him to summon me, that way I can fight too." Alexis was about to said something when another blast was heard and when the two girl look toward the source they could see that Tempest had been destroyed and right now Jaden is crouching on the ground while gripping his chest.

"There's no time to waste, hurry!" the words act as a signal for Alexis as she quickly run toward Jaden and when she was close enough she yelled his name making him face toward him.

"Alexis?! What are you doing here? RUN!" Jaden said while trying to stand up

"No time to explain now, catch!" Alexis threw the card on her hand toward Jaden which he caught and as he looked toward it he realized what Alexis intention are and quickly put the card on his duel disk resulting in the appearance of the appearance of Dark Magician's apprentice right beside her master.

"Let's see what we have here Bakura, go! Dark Burning Magic!" Jaden yelled and quickly the two magician put their staff together and launch a big sphere of magic toward Diabound, Bakura was taken by surprise on this one and it hit directly making Diabound fall on the ground.

"Alright, now for the finishing. Dark Burning Magic once again!" the two magician did the same as before and Jaden could see the sphere hit Diabound quite hard, or it was supposed to…

After the blast went down Jaden could see that Diabound had gone from sight, he thought it was destroyed at first but soon change his mind as he see that Bakura is smirking and he definitely hate it when Bakura do that.

"What's so funny Bakura." Jaden asked but only got a laugh as an answer

"Well, I must admit that I've underestimated that girl over there." Bakura said while pointing at Alexis before smirking again "I guess I have to go to my first plan in killing her before you." Jaden quickly realize what Bakura meant when he heard a scream behind him, he quickly turn around and he could see that Diabound had appear right behind Alexis and was ready to punch her away. Jaden quickly told Dark Magician to protect her but since Diabound was already closed enough Dark Magician had no other option but to launch its dark magic toward Diabound's hand which resulting in a blast that sent Alexis flying which luckily is directed toward Jaden.

Jaden managed to catch Alexis before she fall to the ground, he hold her on his arms while putting her slowly on the ground and feel relieved when she opened her eyes.

"Thank god you're alright." Jaden said which made Alexis smiled toward him but second later Bakura's voice caught the two off guard

"You guys won't be alright after this! Spiral Wave!" Both Jaden and Alexis faced toward Diabound and they could see that Diabound had launch its attack toward them and the problem is that both Dark Magician and Dark Magician Girl are too far to help them.

Jaden tightened his grip on Alexis while Alexis closed her eyes and hold onto Jaden's shirt, both are ready for the impact when a glow comes from inside Jaden's deck, both Jaden and Alexis didn't realize it not even when another glow appear on Jaden's duel disk and a monster suddenly appear on the field, a monster so big that it managed to cover both Jaden and Alexis from the Spiral Wave.

Realizing that they didn't get hit both teen opened their eyes and look upward toward the monster that have protect them, it was not clear at first thanks to the smoke around it but soon the smoke cleared and the figure of the monster becomes clear and shocked everyone there, even Bakura who slowly step back when he see it.

"No…no way…" both Jaden and Alexis was more than surprised when they see the monster who had save them, they know what it is, heck there's no duelist in the world who didn't know it. It was a card that was supposed to belong to Yugi Mutou, a card that was supposed to be gone for years now, it is…..

"Obelisk… the… Tormentor…" Alexis said in a low voice

"Pharaoh, the battle isn't over yet!" Dark Magician's word quickly snapped Jaden to reality as he slowly put Alexis on the ground and stand up while looking toward Diabound which is standing (floating? It didn't had a leg if I'm not wrong.) behind a scared Bakura.

"Go Obelisk! God Hand Crusher!" Jaden yelled and soon the blue giant gather energy on its right hand and threw a punch toward Diabound, hitting it right on the stomach and made it flew quite far from its original spot.

Bakura fell to the ground as Diabound was hit but soon he stand up while holding his stomach, still with the evil grin on his face "I see that you've managed to control the god huh?I'll fall back now but remember that I will be back soon… hehehe... Huahahahahaha!" Bakura laughed as darkness suddenly surround his body and he disappear from sight.

Jaden just stand where he was standing without saying anything before turning his duel disk off making all of the monsters disappear, second later he turn around and look toward Alexis who're still sitting on the ground with a worry look on his face.

"Sorry that I got you into this Lex." Jaden said while giving the Dark Magician Girl card back to Alexis which she took, to his surprise Alexis just smiled at him while standing up.

"Don't worry about that, but you better explained everything to me or I'll be angry about it."

"That's fine with me, but…"

"But…?" Alexis expression quickly changed to worry, was there another problem that concern him?

"May I eat first? I'm starving." Jaden said while laughing and touch his stomach which made Alexis fall to the ground

"I guess Jaden will always be Jaden." Alexis put her hand on her face while smiling a bit, soon the two start to walk side by side toward the exit of the forest and for Jaden, toward the next battle, but at least this time he's not alone anymore as he had a friend who he could talk to and who will at least lighten the weight on his shoulder.
