Authors notes: this all started as a what if, what if there had been a GX movie? What if the Shadow Riders returned to menace Duel Academy? What if Sartorius got possessed by the Light again? And what if I wrote that story to find out? Well here it is with a super cool name, the Yugioh GX movie…

Of Darkness and Dark Light

The Society of Light Vs the Shadow Riders

Resurrection of the Shadow Riders

Remembrance of the Light of Destruction

Scene 1) Setting the scene

The 21st century is where everything changed and mankind was unprepared for just how much Duel Monsters would come to dominate modern life.

From Duellist Kingdom…

Yugi's Summoned Skull fries Weeville's Great Moth with its lightning strike attack.

Rex cowers while Joey laughs as the Time Wizard courses the space time continuum to spiral out of control fossilising Rex's Red Eyes Black Dragon.

Joey and Yugi face of during the finals Black Skull Dragon Vs Dark Sage. Yugi steels himself and makes his final move defeating his fellow duellist and best friend.

…to Battle City…

Yugi battles a Psychotic looking Bakura on a Blimp in a field covered in an eerie scarlet mist and floating eyeballs and fiendish jaws. Bakura goads Yugi into smiting him with Slifer the Sky Dragon.

Kaiba battles a shocked looking Ishizu, taking everyone by surprise he sacrifices his God card Obelisk the Tormentor in order to summon his trusted Blue Eyes White Dragon which brings about Ishizu's defeat.

Yugi shields Mai taking the brunt of the Winged Dragon of Ra's awesome attack as Marik defeats her, laughing cruelly as she collapses with Yugi not looking so good after that either.

…and beyond!

Aster and Zane duel in the pro leagues, Zane keeps summoning his Cyber Dragon's but Aster counters by summoning Phoenix Enforcer and demolishing Zane's remaining life points.

Duelling has never been bigger even as Yugi retired gracefully from professional duelling, Kaiba remained as shrewd as he ever was and proceeded to build the first Duel Monsters School, a Duel Academy to prepare up coming Duellists for the pro leagues.

A magnificent Tropical island with a gently simmering volcano the iconic Academy main building in the centre of the island, the docks and helicopter pads along the south east edge. The Hot springs along the western edge and Academy dorms spread across the island.

Running Duel Academy however has not been without risks, as forces both dark and light fought campaigns across the island as they vied for dominion over the World.

Amnael duels Jaden with an alchemy deck taking them to a higher space where he ultimately loses as Jaden summons Elemental Hero Electrum.

Slade duels his brother Chazz with lots of rare Dragon monsters but Chazz destroys them and wins the duel in one move, the Ojama's clear the field so Chaos Necromancer get's a direct attack.

Sartorius possessed by the Light of Destruction duels Jaden for the destiny of the Earth and is defeated by elemental Hero Grand Neos who sends Arcana Force Ex the Light Ruler back to Sartorius's hand allowing Neos to attack him directly.

When Duel Academy was designed the Student body was split into three ranks.

Obelisk Blue for the superior students who have high grades and attended Duel Prep School (mainly those with fame, fortune and connexions, with about 5 percent entered through true skill and smarts)

Ra Yellow for the Younger students with great talent (mainly an intermittent stage for students who may well be promoted from Slifer to Ra and from Ra to Obelisk, due to most Obelisk's getting ranked via connexions, many Ra students posses stronger duelling skills than most Obelisk students)

Slifer Red for the lower grade students, the misfit's and weaker students (who fear expulsion due to their grades, the bottom of the barrel, termed Slifer Slackers by the elitist Obelisk Students)

The Dormitories also denote status, the bigger the better mentality, size indicates how successful you are.

Obelisk Blue Boys Dorm a humongous blue mansion a five minute walk away from Academy main campus, and protected by a series of Obelisk Statues and plaques. The elegant Home of the Blue Coats.

Obelisk Blue Girls Dorm a large blue mansion overlooking the lakeside, and protected by an obelisk statue and Plaques. The elegant home of the Obelisk girls.

Ra Yellow Dorm a medium sized mansion on the south east coast of the island, and protected by plaques of Ra. The adequate home of the Yellow coats.

Slifer Red Dorm a shoddy 'ole shack overlooking the south west cliff's, A new development a 'rich boys' pad has been added to the side of the dorm by Chazz Princeton, protected by posters of Slifer.
