Disclaimer: Please read all previous chapters. I'm kinda tired of this.
"No!" Jaden screamed in his mind room as he watched the events occur. "No! I... I..."
Suddenly, the room glowed yellow. A man with spiky hairy stepped out of the light. "What are you doing?"
"Uhhh... what's with the gold jewelery?" Jaden pointed out.
Indeed, the man seemed to be covered in gold. In his hand, he gripped a golden rod. Around his neck were three different necklaces, one, and upside down pyramid, the second, a ring, and the third, a simpler band of gold that circled his neck. His left eye wasn't even there. In its place was gold sphere. All of these curious items had one marking in common: The Eye of Horus.
"Hmph," the man chuckled to himself. "I'm glad to finally meet someone who doesn't actually know me. It gets quite annoying, actually,"
"You still haven't answered my question, and since you pointed that out, I'll just ask it: Who are you?" Jaden pressed.
"I have many names. Some call me the Nameless Pharaoh. Others call me Pharaoh Atem. Have you heard of either name?"
"Nope," Jaden said.
"Jeez, you really should pay attention to your history lessons. You might want to behave in that class by the way: I forsee that you will save yourself a lot of trouble if you remain on good terms with your teacher there," the stranger informed Jaden, gripping the simplest of his necklaces. *
*Spoiler Alert: While most of you guys know this, this 'stranger's' prediction comes true in the third series of the anime!*
"Yada yada yada. The professor bores me," Jaden said. "Anyway, 'Pharoah Atem', as you call yourself, what do you mean, 'What are you doing?'?"
"Why do you not help your friends?" the pharaoh waved towards the images that the Supreme King was experiencing.
"I'm stuck!" Jaden stomped angrily. "I can't- I can't help my friends."
"Well then, I am here to help you. Because of my deeds when I was alive, the gods have allowed me to intervene in times of great stress. I will help you out of here; and you also might want this," the pharaoh told Jaden, giving Jaden his dueling disk. Then, he put three cards on to the deck, and it glowed. "You might also want these."
"Uh, thanks?" Jaden said.
"Do not thank me. I am merely doing my duty. The rest is up to you," the man said as Jaden slowly faded away.
"So, will you help your friend?" Sartorius sneered at the Supreme King as Aster teetered on the scale, unconscious.
(I skipped a bit in the story, I didn't really feel that that part was necesary. Just simply insert anime storyline in.)
"I will regret his passing. But nothing can get in the way of my quest. Sacrifices must be made in order so that Darkness may vanquish the Light!" the Supreme King roared.
"Sarge! What's wrong with you?!" Hassleberry yelled at the Supreme King. He slowly turned to face the dino boy.
"I am not 'Sarge'. I am- but what is this?" the Supreme King shouted as his body turned golden. Slowly, only the silhouette of the Supreme King could be seen, which then turned into two identical shadows. The light faded away and the Supreme King stood there. Standing next to him was a boy in a red blazer.
"Sarge!" Hassleberry shouted gleefully. "You're back!"
"What!?" Alexis and Syrus yelled.
"What sorcery is this?" the Supreme King demanded.
"What is this, Shakespeare?" Jaden asked. "Doth thy mother knoweth thy weareth her drapes?"
"Why you- I promised you that I would avenge your friends! You should be helping me," the Supreme King told Jaden indignantly.
"Not like this!" Jaden said. "How is this any better? They're evil now!"
"Hey!" Syrus and Alexis said.
"They've been merely given dark power!" the Supreme King insisted.
"Whatever," Jaden said. "I'm taking you down!"
"I'd hate to break up the twin reunion," Sartorius interrupted. "But what is your final choice?"
"No! Definitely- what the?" the Supreme King looked for the necklace that had held the satellite key in place. However, it was nowhere to be found.
"It's not your choice to make," Jaden said. He threw up the key onto the scale, just as Aster was about to hit the lava. The scale slowly balanced.
"Now!" Jaden cried. "I'll duel the both of you in a Triangle Duel! Do you dare face me?"
"Why should I?" Sartorius cackled.
"Fool!" the Supreme King screamed.
"I have it! I have the sattelite key, finally!" Sartorius laughed, a white beam extending from his hand. However, it was stopped. "What?"
Everyone looked up to see Elemental Hero Neos, guarding the key on the scale.
"I'll guard the key, Jaden. Just take care of those two. Remember, the world needs balance, not one power or the other!"
"Shut up!" the Supreme King and Sartorius shouted up at Neos.
"Thanks, Neos," Jaden said. "Now, will you duel me?"
"Fine," Sartorius said.
"Alright," the Supreme King said.
Jaden: 4000 LP
The Supreme King: 4000 LP
Sartorius: 4000 LP
"I'll go first," Jaden offered.
"Ah, I'm already seeing a vision of the course of this duel!" Sartorius smiled. "You are already doomed!"
"Whatever," Jaden said, then gasped as he checked his hand. 'It couldn't be!' he thought. 'Yet, it is.'
"First, I play Graceful Charity, allowing me to draw three cards, so long as I send two to the graveyard. Next, I play Monster Reborn, allowing me to bring back Hero Kid, in defence mode. Through his special effect, I can now summon four more Hero Kids!" (300/600)
"Err..." the Supreme King said. "That's going to achieve what?"
"Oh, you know, I'm just going to flood the field." Jaden said casually.
"Oh, and I'll set one face down card,"
"Well then, I'll go next, and I'll use Dark Fusion, allowing me to fuse Elemental Hero Avian and Burstinatrix in order to summon Evil Hero Inferno Wing!" (2100/1200)
"I'll finish with a face-down,"
"How predictable," Sartorius announced. "Of course, the greater threat is the so-called Supreme King, so I will summon Arcana Force I- The Magcian in attack mode," (1100/1100)
"Now, which way does it land?" Sartorius asked as the card spun. "Oh, I see it has landed face up. Therefore, I activate Future Vision on the Supreme King,"
"Well, the first card I drew was a fiend type," the Supreme King showed Evil Hero Infernal Prodigy to Sartorius. "Therefore, I get to keep it, am I right,"
"No doubt you learned from my duel with Hassleberry," Sartorius remarked. "Anyway, as it landed face up, my Magician's effect activates: it's attack points are doubled." (2200/1100)
"Now attack, Arcana Force I!"
The Supreme King: 3900 LP
"Now, I'll lay down a face-down," Sartorius said. "I already know what Jaden's move will be,"
"Oh really now?" Jaden grinned. "Then I'd like to see your reaction to this. I wonder if you knew I had it in my deck. I sacrifice three of my Hero Kids in order to summon Slifer the Sky Dragon!"
"Ahhhh!" Jaden roared as a 100 ton weight hit him. He had forgotten. Could he truly have the power to summon an Egyptian God card?
Jaden's duel disk lit up as the hologram of Slifer the Sky Dragon appeared. Jaden sighed in relief. He felt like he'd just ran a marathon. (X000/X000)
"WHAT!" everyone in the room screamed as the full size of Slifer appeared in all its menacing glory. The dorm exploded around them, and now everyone on campus could see what was going on.
"Now, Slifer's attack points are equal to the number of cards in my hand multiplied by 1000. I have four cards in my hand, so prepare to feel the burn of 4000 attack points," (4000/4000)
"Now attack the Supreme King! End this for him right now," Jaden shouted.
"I don't think so. I activate A Hero Emerges. Choose a card in my hand. If its a monster, I get to summon it." the Supreme King countered.
"The one on the right," Jaden guessed.
"Thank you very much, sir," the Supreme King teased. "That's my Evil Hero Infernal Prodigy, and I summon it in defense mode," (300/600)
"Oh well," Jaden said.
"Now, first off, I get to draw an extra card, thanks to my Infernal Prodigy's special ability. Now, I activate Monster Reborn. As Inferno Wing was properly Fusion summoned, I can bring him back from the graveyard." (2100/1200)
"Keep in mind that the fact that you've played a Spell card allows my monster's attack points to double again." Sartorius (2200/1100)
"Oh, and due to Slifer's effect, your attack points are now down to 100," Jaden added. (100/1200)
"Man, you guys are cruel," the Supreme King muttered. "I'll finish with two face-downs."
"Why is it that my vision is clouded?" Sartorius muttered to himself. "Musn't let it show..."
"I'll send my Arcana Force I to the graveyard along with two other monsters in order to summon Arcana Force EX- The Light Ruler, in attack mode. I wonder how it will spin,"
Sartorius asked, but knew that he himself did not know. However, he begged that it would come upside down.
"Upside down!" Sartorius proclaimed. "Therefore, I can now negate Slifer's effect; my Light Ruler still loses 1000 attack points, but that is plenty of fire power." (3000/3000)
"Now, I attack one of your Hero Kids!"
"I activate my face-down, Negate Attack,"
"Sorry, but this ends now," Jaden promised. "I play Pot of Greed, allowing me to draw two cards!" (6000/6000)
"So who will you choose?" Sartorius smiled.
"I won't have to," Jaden informed him. "Next, I play Monster Reborn, allowing me to summon a third Hero Kid. I don't have anymore Hero Kids from my deck, but now I can summon Obelisk the Tormentor!"
"Agh!" the feeling of a hundred tons slammed into Jaden once again, draining his energy. However, once again he was triumphant, the giant shape of Obelisk the Tormentor projected onto the field. (4000/4000), (4000/4000)
"Now, I play O-Oversoul, allowing me to summon Elemental Hero Bladedge from the graveyard. (2600/1800) (3000/3000)
"I also play Ultimate Offering, allowing me to normal summon extra cards, at the cost of 500 Life Points,"
(Ultimate Offering is a Trap Card, and therefore should not be able to be played at this point from Jaden's hand)
"Will your turn never end?" the Supreme King said impatiently.
"I promise you that you will not like it when my turn ends," Jaden told him. "Now, I activate Card of Sanctity, allowing everyone to draw until they have six cards in their hand." (6000/6000)
"Finally, I sacrifice Slifer the Sky Dragon, Obelisk the Tormentor, and Elemental Hero Bladedge to summon The Winged Dragon of Ra!"
"Err... one problem. Anyone know how to read ancient Egyptian?" Jaden asked.
"Do you really think we would tell you if we could?" Sartorius pointed out. However, words suddenly rained down from the sky.
"Great beast of the sky, please heed my cry,
Transform thyself in orb of light and bring me victory in this fight.
Envelop the desert with your glow and cast your rage upon my foe.
Unlock your powers from deep within so that together we may win.
Appear in this Shadow Game as I call your name,
Winged Dragon of Ra!"
"What the-" the Supreme King began before Jaden's Duel Disk exploded once more in a yellow light. Slowly, the three tributes were absorbed into the yellow light as a giant beast stepped out, a yellow phoenix with a blue circle upon its forehead.
"The Winged Dragon of Ra gains power equal to its tributes," Jaden explained. "Therefore, its attack and defense points are equal to the combined points of all the monsters." (12600/11800)
(Anime effect only)
"Now, I activate Exchange. This allows me to look at the hand of the Supreme King, and we take a card from each other's hands."
"Oh, no," the Supreme King said as he saw the card that Jaden had taken.
"I send Evil Hero Infernal Gainer to the graveyard, so that my Winged Dragon of Ra can attack twice!"
"NOOOOOOOO!" Sartorius and the Supreme King screamed together.
Sartorius: 0 LP
Supreme King: 0 LP
Slowly the students that had been affected by the small war that had been fought by the two sides slumped to the ground.
Jaden looked out onto the battlefield and smiled. He'd finally atoned for all of his mistakes. Now, it was all over.
But one question was still to be answered. He looked up in to the sky and remembered how someone seemed to have boomed out the words of the summoning chant. "But who-"
"That was my last gift to you," a voice told him from behind.
Jaden spun around to see the stranger that had met him inside his mind. "You're him, aren't you," he said to the pharaoh.
"Indeed I am. But my time is short. As I told you, I am merely here to intervene when the world needs my help. Now, they-" the pharaoh waved his hands at the slumbering students, save for Hassleberry, who was walking towards them, "-Need your help. Goodbye,"
"Thank you," Jaden said, but the man was already gone.
"For what?" Hassleberry asked, as he'd heard Jaden's thanks but hadn't seen anybody else.
"Nothing. We'd better help out these kids," Jaden told him.
"Oh geez. And of course, there's all of this," Hassleberry gestured at the wreckage of Jaden's duel.
"Then we'd best get busy," Jaden said.
"Come on. I've been fighting your forces for the past week. Give me a breather," Hassleberry complained. "Speaking of which, is he gone?"
Jaden thought about the Supreme King, and how he had claimed to be Jaden's other half.
"I don't think so. I think you might call us two sides of the same coin. He's kind of a part of me. But that doesn't mean that I'm gonna go all crazy on you. He's just simply... me, I guess,"
"Your giving me a headache, ya know that Sarge?"
"Sorry," Jaden grinned and looked at the setting sun.
