ATK: Attack Points
DEF: Defense Points
LP: Life Points
Glow Neos strikes Sartorious directly.
Sartorius: Grr! He winces.
(Sartorius: LP: 7300-4800)
Haru: Good one! We're home free now.
Jaden: Yeah. Suddenly, the spirits of Dark Paladin and Glow Neos appear.
Glow Neos: Jaden. Haru. Finish off Sartorius. We'll destroy the satellite.
Jaden: Gotcha. You can count on us. The two fly into the sky.
Haru: Sure hope they make it.
Elsewhere..
Linda: We're too late! The satellite's already been activated! We have to stop it.
Ojin: Ha ha ha! It's only a matter of time before the world is ours! Ojin said before he passed out.
Linda: My prince!
Hassleberry: He'll be just fine. Being possessed by aliens tends to wear a guy out. We gotta move on and focus our strength on that satellite! He stated. A strange aura surrounded him.
Neos and Paladin pass by and see Hassleberry's spiritual body.
Paladin: Neos, look!
Glow Neos: What's this? They go down.
Hassleberry: Sam Hill!
Glow Neos: It seems the great dinosaur spirit that rests within you has finally been awakened.
Hassleberry: Well, I'll be a son-of-a T-Rex! You mean I got an actual dino inside a me!? Shazam! I always thought it was a metaphor. Let's go smash some satellite!
Paladin: You must leave your human form behind! The two spirits help free Hassleberry's spiritual body.
Glow Neos: Follow us!
Hassleberry: Dyno-mite! The three head for the satellite. Hassleberry's body goes stiff and falls to the ground.
Linda: Hassleberry?! Are you all right!?
The three spirits finally arrive into space and see that the satellite was still trying to break through the Kaiba Corp satellites.
Glow Neos: There it is! Dead ahead!
Hassleberry: Here goes! Demolition time!
Back to the duel....
Sartorius: Enough of your games. It's time you saw...the Light! He draws. Just as I foretold. The future is mine! Ha ha ha! First, I play Suit of Sword X!
Sartorius: Now let's see. The card lands upright.
Haru: Uh-oh!
Sartorius: It landed upright, so say goodbye to your monster! Swords come out of the card and hit Paladin, destroying it.
Haru: Dark Paladin!!
Sartorius: Now I summon Arcana Force I.
(ATK: 1100)
Sartorius: And I predict it will land right side up! The card lands on the position he predicted. You see? I'm in control! And you two...you're just my puppets! But now it's time to cut your strings! Direct attack! The Magician jumps into the air but then reappears behind the two duelists and attacks. Care to submit?
Jaden: Nope.
Haru: Never.
(Jaden & Haru: LP: 1900-800)
Sartorius: You humans are as dim-witted as you look! That should make taking control of your planet all the easier!
Haru: As if! Haru draws. He sets. Jaden. I can't do much for now, so you're gonna have to take him down a peg.
Jaden: Trust me. I got this.
Sartorius: Ha ha ha! It's useless! You both will fail.
Jaden: Dream on, space-freak! I activate my HERO Flash!
Jaden: So I toss out, Heated Heart, Emergency Call, Righteous Justice, and O - Oversoul! The Spell shines the word HERO into space. The spirits notice it.
Paladin: Neos, look! Jaden needs your help! Neos separates from Glow Neos.
Glow Neos: Be strong! The future's in your hands!
Jaden: Now I summon this! Elemental Hero Neos! Neos comes crashing down onto the field. (ATK: 2500)
Haru: Nice move!
Sartorius: Due to Arcana Force I's effect, whenever a Spell card is activated, its ATK is doubled! (ATK: 1100-2200) So you'll barely make a dent. Now on with the attack!
Jaden: Yeah, that's my plan, bro. But thanks to my Spell, I'm not attacking your monster; I'm attacking you!
Sartorius: What?!
Jaden: Neos, go clear up his confusion! The Hero does so and strikes at Sartorius.
(Sartorius: LP: 4800-2300)
Jaden: Well, it looks you were wrong. Remember? You said we were puppets. But it looks like you're the dummy! Right, Haru? Get it? Puppet...dummy?
Haru: Uh, yeah. I got it. 💧
Syrus: Oh, yeah! Good one, Jay!
Aster: A jokes not funny when you have to explain it.
Syrus: Huh?
Sartorius: You're fooling yourselves! It's hopeless! The fate of your planet's been written! And it's fraught with doom! Now watch! I'll use Pot of Greed!
Sartorius: Next I activate...the Spell card Magician's Scales!
Sartorius: Arcana Force I, be gone! So I can add a Spell card to my hand! He grins when he sees just the card. Go, Material Lord!
Sartorius: And then Spiritual Lord!
Sartorius: And from my hand, I play my Sky Lord!
Aster: Not this! Aster gasped.
Sartorius: That's right! This is how I defeated you, Aster! Now it's their turn!
Jaden: We'll see.
Haru: We ain't afraid!
Sartorius: I sacrifice these three Pillars of Light to call forth the great conqueror! Behold, Arcana Force EX - The Light Ruler!
(ATK: 4000)
Syrus: That's a whole lotta monster right there.
Aster: Yeah, no joke. You should try getting attacked by it!
Syrus: Let's hope they do better than you did!
Sartorius: Ha ha ha! Right side up! The card lands exactly as he says. So now, The Light Ruler attacks Neos! The end has come! Two dragons come out of the monster and fire.
Haru: Hold it! I activate Kuriboh's effect from my hand! That means we don't take damage this turn! Haru stated as Kuriboh appeared in front of Neos, shielding it.
Kuriboh: Kuri! It cried, desperately trying to push back against the blast.
Neos: The Light is too strong! The Light consumes them both and blasts the two Slifers away.
Jaden: Neos!
Haru: Kuriboh!
Back in space, the satellite now takes aim at the three that seek to destroy it.
Hassleberry: We're in the line of fire, Sarge!
Glow Neos: Relax! We're safe. It won't fire at a target this close it.
Hassleberry: Roger! However, the satellite fires anyway. The three just barely evade it. So much for your theory. Just then, Paladin and Glow Neos began to feel weak. Something wrong, Sarge?
Paladin: Something is wrong.
Glow Neos: It's Neos. Somehow the bond between us has been broken.
Hassleberry: Hey, you! Skedaddle! It ain't polite to point!
Back on Earth, Jaden and Haru lay on the ground seemingly defeated.
Syrus: Get up!
Aster: Easier said than done, Syrus.
Sartorius: Thanks to the Light Ruler's special ability, a card returns from my grave! It was Light Barrier. If you could stand, it would be your turn now.
In space, the satellite fired again.
Hassleberry: Incoming! They dodge out of the way. But that appeared to be the end for Glow Neos and Paladin as their bodies faded away. That was a close one! Where'd ya go!? Quit kidding around, Sarge!
Sartorius: What was that? You need more time? Too bad! That's a luxury we don't have! It's over. Before long, the entire world, correction: the universe, will join me as we all bask in the eternal glory of the light! He laughed sinisterly. Looks like it's game over!
Aster: It can't be!
Syrus: Guys! Don't give up!
Neos: Jaden! Can you hear me!? We tried, but I'm afraid we couldn't dismantle the satellite. We need you. You and Haru are the only ones who can stop it!
Haru: Sorry, Neos, but I think you picked the wrong guys for the job.
Dark Magician: No. You are the chosen duelists. Now concentrate, and you will know what to do. Both of their eyes open up and they jump back onto their feet.
Jaden: We just needed a little power nap, that's all. And it worked, cause we've got all the power we need!
Haru: Yeah! Hate to break it to ya, but this game is still on! Haru draws. '!! This is it! Just the card that can turn this all around.' I'll play this facedown and let you go, Jaden.
Jaden: Don't mind if I do. I activate, my Fifth Hope Spell card!
Jaden: Here's how it works! First, from my graveyard, I get 5 Elemental Hero cards! Then I add 'em all to my deck and shuffle. Next, I draw 3 cards from my deck! Sweet! I activate, Neo Space!
The area changes so they were now in view of the satellite.
Sartorius: Ha ha ha! Just look. My satellite is armed and ready to fire! Even if you manage to win, the Earth will still belong to me!
Jaden: Not on our watch!
Haru: And this should help! Go, Call of the Haunted!
Haru: I can use this to bring back a familiar face! You're up, Dark Magician! (ATK: 2500)
Jaden: I activate, my Silent Doom card!
Jaden: This lets me bring Neos back from the graveyard! So come on out! (DEF: 2000) Next, I summon Neo-Spacian Grand Mole!
(ATK: 900)
Jaden: And now...merge to create Elemental Hero Grand Neos!
(ATK: 2500)
Jaden: One more thing! Since we're in Neo Space, Grand Neos gets hooked up with 500 extra ATK! (ATK: 2500-3000)
Sartorius: Good work, but not quite good enough.
Jaden: Oh, ya know what? When I said one more thing, I meant two! Your Light Ruler gets sent back to your hand.
Sartorius: Aah! Grand Neos jams his drill into the ground, which creates a black hole that threatened to swallow up The Light Ruler.
Aster: Awesome! He just lost his last line of defense!
Syrus: So Jaden's monster can attack him directly!
Sartorius: Ah! Nice try. I play Reversal of Fate!
Sartorius: With this Trap, I can reverse the direction of my Light Ruler, unlocking its other effect! It lands upside down.
Haru: You gotta be kidding!
Sartorius: I've foreseen this entire duel! So I know your moves before you make them! And my monster's new ability cancels out the special effect of your monster! All he needs to do is give up a 1000 ATK, and my Light Ruler stays! (ATK: 4000-3000) Now you draw! But don't forget, I can see all! Light Ruler, attack! The Light Ruler destroys Grand Neos.
Jaden: Unh!
Syrus: Aw, man. This psycho really is a psychic!
Aster: He should be playing the lottery, not destroying the world!
Sartorius: Ha ha ha! The end draws near! Now observe the fate of your people! With the help of that satellite, your world and all the planets beyond will see the Light! And life will begin again. But this time, all creatures will bow down to me! Where are your friends now?!
Jaden: Look, bro. Just because you don't have any friends doesn't mean that we don't! In fact, I'm closer to them than you could ever understand! I created those cards when I was a kid, and they would never desert me!
Haru: Same here. These guys aren't just cards to me. They're my best friends! Just like Jaden and the others.
Jaden: And to prove it, I play Reverse of Neos! How about that?!
Sartorius: It can't be! I didn't predict this! Grr!
Jaden: Maybe you don't know as much as you think you know. And I think I know what you know! Ya know? Ok, that sounded a lot better in my head. First things first, Neos! Go! Dismantle that satellite!
Neos: I thought you'd never ask!
Haru: You go back him up!
Dark Magician: Of course. The two monsters get ready.
Hassleberry: Howdy.
Neos: You ready?
Hassleberry: Always!
Sartorius: You're all too late. Fate is always a step ahead. Now keep your eyes on the light! The satellite prepared to fire, but something was preventing it. What!?
Kaiba: Hmph. As always, it seems that fate didn't count on me. Alright, I pulled you out of cyber space, so make yourself useful.
???: Of course. I'm in control of this satellite now!
Syrus: That voice.
Aster: It sounds familiar.
Sartorius: No! He gasped.
Jaden: What's up? Sarina appears on top of the satellite.
Haru: It's her!
Sartorius: Sarina!?
Sarina: You must hurry. My power won't last long. Kaiba uploaded me into the satellite's central computer. My signal is weak. So you must destroy it now!
Sartorius: Stop!
Neos: The first strike is yours! Neos and Dark Magician give Hassleberry a little power boost.
Hassleberry charges and crashes into the satellite, damaging the laser itself. Dark Magician fires its magic attack, destroying the outside of it. And Neos finishes it off, by smashing right through the satellite.
Sartorius: AAH! Sartorius watched in shock as his grand ambitions were beginning to fall apart. The satellite explodes into pieces.
Hassleberry: Thar she blows!
Sarina: Now that the satellite is destroyed, there's only thing left to do! Rescue my brother! She says before fading away.
Jaden: Right on! Consider him rescued!
Aster: Awesome!
Haru: You look surprised. I thought you knew this would happen. Don't tell us you've lost your touch.
Sartorius: You're the ones who've lost! Your monsters aren't strong enough to stop my Light Ruler!
Jaden: But we're in Neo Space! So he gains 500 ATK! (ATK: 2500-3000) Oh, and because he was summoned with my Reverse of Neos Spell card, he gets another 1000 ATK! (ATK: 3000-4000)
Sartorius: No!
Haru: And that's not even the best part! I activate my Trap, Dark Spiral Force!
Haru: Since Dark Magician's out on the field, he can take Neos' ATK and double them! (ATK: 4000-8000)
Sartorius: What?! Wait! He pleaded.
Jaden: Hey, Haru! Let's save the universe, shall we!? Punch his light out and end this! Dark Magician casts a spell that strengthens Neos. The Hero attacks Light Ruler, cutting it right in half with a chop
Sartorius: AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!! He screamed as the Light is forced out of his body.
(Sartorius: LP: 2300-0)
LOD: RRROOOOOOOOOAAAAAARRRRRR!!! It let out one final cry as it disappeared from existence. Sartorius' body laid on the floor, unconscious.
Sarina: Brother?
Sartorius: What? Who's there? He said as he slowly came to.
Sarina: Sartorius, it's me! Sarina!
Sartorius: I know. But I thought...
Sarina: Farewell. We'll meet again. Sarina said as she vanished.
Jaden: Neos! You like, totally saved the universe, man!
Haru: No, Jaden. We, like totally saved the universe!
Neos: Yes. And on behalf of the inhabitants of Neo-Space, thank you both! Neos disappears and the area returns to normal.
Elsewhere...
Hassleberry: ROAR! Hassleberry woke up. Ooh. He soon calmed down when he realized where he was. Hey, what happened? Where'd outer space go?
While the universe was being saved, the students and faculty of Duel Academy were watching the last duel of the GX Tournament, blissfully oblivious to the evil that had almost transpired.
Blair: Take this, you mucus membrane! Yellow was destroyed. Now my Spike Egg takes a crack at your LP! And that's no yolk! The egg sends out spiked chains.
(Chazz: LP: 2000-1200)
Blair: Egg-cellent!
Crowler: She's not half bad.
Bonaparte: Yes, Oui, Oui.
Crowler: This is no time for a bathroom break!
Sheppard: He's right. We're on the verge of crowning a champion!
Chazz: Time to Chazz it up! And I'll start with Pot of Greed! So I draw two cards. Next, I activate my Ojamandala Spell card! So I pay a grand in order to bring back you know who!
(Chazz: LP: 1200-200)
Yellow: Yay!
Green: Whoo!
Black: Hngh!
Yellow: Free at last! (ATK: 0)x3
Chazz: Next up, I activate Ojama Delta Hurricane! The bothers combine and created a ring that destroys all of Blair's monsters.
Blair: Aah! All my monsters! They're gone!
Chazz: Heh heh heh! And your LP's are about to join them!
Blair: Not quite, Chazz-ball! Your Ojama's won't even make a scratch!
Chazz: True. That's why I'm playing Shield Attack. Blair gasps. With this Spell, I can swap the ATK and DEF of any monster I want! And I choose Ojama Yellow! (ATK: 0-1000) Go get her! Direct attack!
Blair: But wait!
Yellow: Did you say "butt!?" Blair defends herself as she was about to meet a foul end.
(Blair: LP: 800-0)
Blair: I lost.
Yellow: No butts about it!
Blair: Why do I always seem to end up behind? No pun intended. She said hanging her head.
Chazz: Lesson one.
Blair: Huh?
Chazz: Winning or losing doesn't matter, as long as you had fun. That's some free upperclassmen advice.
Blair: That was so deep. So wise!
Alexis: Wasn't it Jaden who taught you that? She said which made Chazz stiffen.
Crowler: Plagiarist!
Bonaparte: Poser!
Blair: Jaden? Of course! He's the dreamiest! Chazz groans.
Sheppard: The winner of the first GX Tournament is Chazz Princeton! The crowd cheers for Chazz.
Chazz: Ha ha ha! And Chazz was definitely enjoying it. Yeah! Who's the champ!? C...
Sheppard: H-A...
Students: Z-Z!
All: The Chazz!
Chazz: You know it! Now Chazz it up!
All: Chazz it up! Chazz it up! Chazz it up! They chanted.
Back at the white dorm...
Hassleberry: Listen to that racket. Don't those people know who the real hero of this story is!? It's me. I destroyed the satellite.
Syrus: Well, yeah, but you couldn't have without Jaden and Haru. They're the heroes!
Haru: Yeah. But it's probably for the best they don't know. Don't need to freak them out about something that's already over.
Sartorius: Forgive me. It's my fault that things went this far. I was weak. Had I fought harder, I could have prevented the Light from endangering you all.
Jaden: Hey, no worries! If it wasn't you, it woulda been someone else, right? Besides, it all worked out in the end!
Sartorius: Yes. Thanks to you. And you. All of you!
Aster: Please. I hardly did anything. But the important thing is, we're all safe, and everything's back to normal! Well, almost.
Sartorius: Before she vanished, Sarina said that we would "meet again."
Jaden: Know what? I'm sure that someday you will! Hey! Can't you see the future?!
Sartorius: Well, I've learned that there are some things in life that just can't be predicted.
Haru: Well said.
RING RING RING
Haru: Hm? Haru grabbed his phone. Hello?
Kaiba: Everything settled?
Haru: Yeah. It's over. Let's just say we won't have to worry about the Society of Light anymore. Thanks again, Kaiba. We might not have been able to stop that satellite if it wasn't for you.
Kaiba: Obviously. By the way, you should be able to see me now.
Haru: What? Kaiba hung up. The cards in Sartorius' hand fly a away. Jaden, Aster and Haru caught a few glimpses at their cards. The Fool. The Star. And the Hierophant. Hm? Haru then noticed a Kaiba Corp helicopter flying right towards them.
Hassleberry: What's with the copter!? The doors opened revealing Kaiba.
Kaiba: Good to see your still in one piece, Haru! He shouted.
Syrus: Woah! Seto Kaiba!?
Jaden: The man himself! What's he doing here!?
Kaiba: You have a visitor! He stated as he revealed Sarina sitting right beside him. She looked down at her brother with tears of joy.
Sartorius: Sarina! Sartorius was just as happy to see his sister safe and sound.
Hassleberry: I'm a sucker for happy endings. He sniffled.
Jaden: Well, what's left to say?
Syrus: How about your famous catchphrase?
Jaden & Haru: Ha! The two high five. Get your game on!
Hassleberry: What game are we talking about?
Syrus: You're ruining the mood!
And so, another evil has been put to rest. And Duel Academy was safe once again. Thanks to two young duelists.
To Be Continued....in Season 3
