A Lying Legend

Egypt was where Duel Monsters began according to legends long ago. Only they dueled with the Shadow Games and used Stone Tablets as their cards. Now in one of the many tombs in Egypt, hooded and masked Priests all stood in one of the tombs holding torches while two figures stood near a large golden sarcophagus. The two figures removed the lid of the tomb to reveal a figure inside the tomb. Only this wasn't a mummy since there were no bandages and it looked like this figure had been asleep for many years and waiting. He wore the robes of a Pharaoh and he had the Millennium symbol on his mask. The man slowly rose into a seating position and he stared at the people gathered who all bowed down in front of him. 
"Why has my slumber been disrupted?" He demanded
The night sky then glowed as a man spoke up "To fulfill your duty to the Shadows." He said as there was a glow and the Millennium symbol glowed as well.
The Pharaoh stood up and looked at his followers "Ready my vessel, it is time for me to gather the keys"
...
Back at Duel Academy, Solona was in the Infirmary alongside her brother and Professor Dorian. Chancellor Sheppard and Miss Fontaine were also there and the two were beside the bed of the shadow Rider brought in who was a young girl called Avexis. Solona had been shocked to find out that this Shadow Rider was just a young girl. Miss Fontaine had examined her and said that she needed a few days rest. Most of the former Shadow Riders who were brainwashed students had left. Only Leliana remained in the infirmary, Alistair and Zevran had left and were now attending classes while Atticus was still having memory problems and had to come back to the Infirmary when he had collapsed in the corridor.
"It's shocking to see how far the Shadow Riders will go." Daylen claimed
"It's not right that, using a young girl in that way." Solona agreed
Dorian looked at the Chancellor. 
"Do we have any idea about who this girl is?" He asked. "We need to contact her family and let them know that their daughter is safe"
Sheppard closed his eyes and sighed. 
"This girl has no family." He admitted. "I've just looked into her records. She's an orphan as her parents died when she was young. She was reported missing a few months ago and an investigation into the orphanage revealed signs of child abuse and the carers were arrested but Avexis here is believed to have run away."
"Well we know what happened to her now." Daylen said
"At least she is free from those Shadow Riders." Solona smiled. "It must have been horrible for her to be like this."
"Well we will do our best to make sure she is safe." Sheppard said and then he looked at the Amell Twins. "Now you two should get to class, it starts soon." Solona and Daylen nodded and they left the infirmary.
...
Later it was Professor Banner's class and he was teaching them all about legendary duelists and how they won their duels and are now well known. "You all know Yugi Moto and Seto Kaiba." Banner lectured as he had drawings of Yugi and Kaiba on the wall behind him and he pointed them out "They are the most well known Duelists and dueling legends. They are the best in their generation and they are the first well known Duelists of today's dueling world."
"And they are the best looking too." A female Obelisk Blue student added dreamily
"They're total dreamboats." Another female Obelisk smiled
"I prefer Mai Valentine." A male student spoke up.
Solona snorted at the behavior, these duelists were much older than them and they already had families. When Solona was young, her father had taken her to see these Legendary Duelists and many had married, Yugi had married his childhood friend Tea and Joey had married Mai Valentine. Kaiba had ended up marrying Joey's sister Serenity.
Then Banner pointed something else out "But you do realize class that there were other great Duelists well before all of them"
Jaden who was awake in this class looked a bit confused. 
"How is that professor?" he asked. "I mean Duel Monsters hasn't been around that long."
Kallian was sitting just above them groaned. "Jaden this is why you shouldn't sleep through your classes" she muttered
Syrus looked at him. 
"I guess you were asleep during that class Jaden." He said "They used to be played back in Ancient Egypt."
"Yes only they dueled in what we call Shadow Games." Zevran who was back in his Ra Yellow uniform and sitting next to Kallian. "They used Stone Tablets as their monsters and everyone had a spirit."
Theorn sat not that too far away. "Pegasus found some of these Stone Tablets and they inspired him to created the Duel Monsters game."
Banner looked impressed at his class' knowledge. "Yes and one of the best back in Ancient Egypt was a powerful Egyptian Pharaoh known as Abidos III. He was the best because he was undefeated."
"Undefeated?" Jaden questioned. "That's so sweet, he must have been something" then he grinned "Of course it's a good thing he's not around today otherwise that undefeated record would be history."
Kallian groaned at Jaden as he always thought about dueling and didn't concentrate. Chazz who was sitting right behind Jaden decided to tease him a bit. 
"Sure it would." He laughed. "And then you would take down Yugi and Kaiba too."
"Really you think?" Jaden questioned. "Wow, I didn't know that you believed in me so much Chazz."
Chazz growled because he had been joking and was not amused by Jaden. 
"It's sarcasm, you got that!" He growled
Jaden chuckled and he placed his hands on the back on his head and laughed. "Sure, but if you want to change your name Chazz, you can do a lot better than sarcasm"
Kallian groaned. 
"Jaden, he means he was joking." she tried to say but then Chazz got angry and grabbed hold on Jaden's head.
"You know what I mean!" He growled
Syrus looked and tried to stop the fight. "Hey guys, stop it, you're going to get us in trouble."
Chazz growled and then he grabbed hold of Jaden's ears and pulled them hard. 
"You want to see trouble!" He hissed. "Fine! How about this!" now Chazz was gathering a lot of attention
"Guys, you're getting too much attention!" Kallian hissed
"Yeah stop!" Zevran also hissed. "Stop before we get in trouble."
"Professor Banner will hear us." Syrus grinned
"He sure will." The voice of Professor Banner called and Chazz stopped pulling Jaden's ears. "The five of you can continue in detention."
The five groaned. 
"Oh man, that's the fifth time this week." Syrus groaned
"Thanks a lot Chazz!" Zevran growled. "Now you got us in trouble."
"And I didn't even do anything." Kallian groaned
...
Later, Aedan had gone over to the Lake and he found Daylen and Neria waiting for him. 
"Hey Daylen, hey Neria, what are you two doing here?" he asked
Daylen looked at him. "Neria and I came here to think about that last Shadow Rider."
"That girl known as Avexis." Neria stated. "It's horrible to see what the Shadow Riders did to a poor girl like her. I mean what did she ever do to them."
"These Shadow Riders will do anything to get their hands on the Spirit Gate Keys." Aedan stated. "You saw how Camula defeated Zane because she threatened to kill Syrus, if she hadn't done that then Zane would have won."
"Well I just wonder who the next Shadow Rider is going to be." Daylen asked
"We have to be ob our guard." Neria added. "For all we know the next Shadow Rider could be watching over us right now."
Aedan was about to replay when they heard a rumbling nearby. "Well it looks like we may just be facing the next Shadow Rider now." Then large bandaged mummies came appeared and they let out terrifying shrieks and moans as the three Key Keepers activated their Duel Disks. 
"They can't be Shadow Riders." Aedan added. "There are too many"
"Key, give us the keys!" the Mummies moaned
"They must be working for the next Shadow Rider." Neria stated and then there was a large glow in the sky and the three of them looked up to see a large golden ship with a dome.
...
Meanwhile, at the same time, Alexis along with Solona and Sereda were over at the docks near the lighthouse and they were soon joined by Zane. Alexis and Zane often hanged out here before they went to bed since it gave them some peace and quiet.
"Thanks for coming Zane." Alexis said to him. "We just needed someone to talk to."
"Is everything all right Alexis?" Solona asked
Alexis sighed. "I just thought that having my brother back would make everything okay again."
"But Atticus still can't remember what happened can he?" Sereda questioned
Alexis nodded. "I have more questions than answers. And with other Shadow Riders being brainwashed students like Alistair, Zevran and Leliana, I just wonder what happened to them and how they became Shadow Riders." She then lowered her head. "I just don't know what to do Zane."
"I don't know either." Zane replied which made the three Obelisk Blue boys look at him "But know that we are all safe right now."
"Yeah for now." Solona shuddered. "But I wonder what will happen with the next Shadow Rider."
But then they felt the ground beneath then rumble which made the four of them gasp in shock and then they looked behind them and saw five bandaged zombie mummies appear from below the ground and started walking towards them. Worse they blocked the only way back and so the four of them were trapped
"You just had to say that Solona!" Sereda hissed
"That's not good" Zane gasped
...
Meanwhile, Chazz, Jaden, Syrus, Kallian and Zevran were all walking back from detention. Zevran and Kallian were with Jaden while they walked back but they would soon go back to the Ra Yellow Dorm, the two of them were glaring at Chazz since it was his fault they ended up in Detention.
"I spend more time in Detention than I do in class." Syrus commented "My mum's not going to be happy when she gets my report."
"Let's blame it all on Sarcasm here." Jaden suggested, Kallian and Zevran chuckled while Chazz growled and leapt at Jaden and he grabbed him and began shaking him around
"Okay, the joke's old, now shut it!" He growled while Jaden cried out.
Zevran chuckled. 
"Well it is your fault that we ended up in detention." He said. "You did start the argument."
Syrus groaned. 
"Well at least things can't get any worse." He complained but he was proven wrong when he heard a shrill scream
"You were saying?" Kallian commented
"Not the time for jokes Kallian." Zevran claimed
"What was that?" Jaden questioned and then the four of them ran over to the edge of the cliff and they saw the lighthouse and there was Solona and Zane with their Duel Disks ready with Sereda and Alexis behind them on the docks. Bandaged mummies began creeping towards them.
"Alexis!" Jaden cried out
"Solona!" Zevran shouted
"Sereda, Zane!" Chazz added
"Mummies!" Syrus and Kallian cried out and then the five of them ran along the path to reach the docks in order to reach and help their friends.
Zane looked up and saw then and his eyes widened. 
"No stay back!" He called. "Save yourselves!"
Jaden narrowed his eyes. "No way, we're not leaving you, you need..." he shouted but then the ground rumbled and more mummies appeared and they also appeared behind the group which trapped them "...help" Jaden finished and Syrus panicked as they were surrounded by the Mummies.
The mummies all began to advanced on them which made Syrus and Kallian hold each other in fright. 
"Give us the Spirit Gate keys!" One Mummy moaned
"They Spirit Keys?" Jaden questioned
"Shadow Riders?" Chazz questioned and then their vision was blocked by a bright light and everyone looked up to see a golden ship appear in the sky.
"Duelists!" A voice called. "I have come for you!" then there was a flash and Jaden went blank.
...
Jaden groaned as he woke up and he found himself lying on his back and so he pushed himself up so he was sitting up "Welcome back Jaden" came the voice of Zane and Jaden turned to see Zane, Alexis, Solona, Sereda, Kallian, Zevran, Syrus and Chazz. But he was a bit shocked when he saw Daylen, Neria and Aedan also with them.
"What the?" Jaden gasped. "Aedan? Daylen? Neria?"
"The three of us were over at the lake." Aedan claimed
"And then those mummies surround us and brought us here." Neria added
"Our Spirit Keys must have drawn us to them." Daylen claimed
"I think that must be how those mummies found all of us." Solona added and then there was a loud bang as someone banged on a large gong which got everyone's attention and they ran over to what liked a dueling arena and they saw many guards and servants all wearing golden masks and sitting on a large golden throne was another man who also wore a golden mask, but he also wore expensive robes and looked like he was the leader of those Mummies.
"Hello there." He greeted and everyone noticed that it was the same voice as they heard before they were transported onto the ship. "What's this?"
Then Jaden and Daylen climbed onto the platform against the protests of their friends who yelled at them. 
"Hey, what's the big idea!" Jaden snapped
"You you explain what this is all about?" Daylen shouted
The man stood up from his throne and began walking towards them. 
"That's not how one should address an Egyptian Pharaoh." He claimed
"Wait, Egyptian Pharaoh?" Jaden questioned
"Do we know this guy?" Daylen wondered
"Have we seen him before?" Solona wondered
"He looks just like the picture that Professor Banner showed us in class today." Chazz stated
"The one of that undefeated Pharaoh." Neria wondered
"Abidos?" Alexis questioned
Abidos then eyes Solona, Neria and Solona. 
"You three would make fine palace girls my beautiful doves." He smiled
"The name is Alexis!" Alexis snapped
"And I'm Solona!" Solona added
"And my name is Neria" Neria hissed
"You masked Weirdo" the three girls said together
"Now what is going on here?" Aedan demanded
"Don't you guys realize?" Zevran questioned. "He's a Shadow Rider and he's after those Sacred Beasts like the rest"
"And it seems that he has us outnumbered." Chazz snarled
Abidos smiled under his mask. 
"That's right." He stated. "So why don't you just leave your keys and walk away, you don't want to duel me."
Jaden then swung his hand in the air and started acting like a child on his birthday. 
"Oh I do." He said cheerfully. "I want to duel, please pick me, come on!"
"Jaden?" Syrus groaned
Daylen narrowed his eyes at Jaden. 
"Jaden would you take this seriously!" He snapped. "We're now trapped here and the only way we are walking away is if we beat this guy."
"Well let's show this Ancient Pharaoh how we do things in the 21st century" Jaden smiled but this caused Abidos and his servants to glare at him
"You can't talk to me like that!" Abidos growled
"You can't talk to the Pharaoh like that!" one of the guards hissed
Daylen also glared at Jaden. "You need to take this seriously, how about we let the Pharaoh decide who he duels."
"Well that sounds like a great idea." Abidos smiled. "And I think since you suggested it, I will choose you." he selected Daylen as his opponent.
"Daylen, you realize that this is a Shadow Game?" Zane asked him
"He's right so it's not just your Spirit Key on the line, but your soul as well." Neria stated
"And this guy is undefeated, don't do it Daylen." Syrus cried out
"I have no choice." Daylen stated. "He chose me which means I have to duel him and I will."
"My brother knows what he is doing." Solona stated. "If there is anyone who can beat him then he can."
"Well we'll see about that." Abidos mocked. "Now let's get on with it."
Daylen didn't have his duel disk with him so Chazz threw him one. "Hey Daylen, catch." he threw the Duel disk over to Daylen
Then Syrus noticed that his pack was open. 
"Hey that Duel Disk looks just like mine." He said though he didn't realize that Chazz had thrown Syrus' Duel disk to Daylen.
Abidos and Daylen then activated their Duel Disks with Abidos' duel disk coming from some kind of armlet and they placed their decks into their disks.
"Duel!"
Daylen: 8000
Abidos: 8000
"Since I am a Pharaoh, I will take the first move." Abidos claimed. "And I summon Pharaonic Protector in defense mode." A zombie type monster that looked like the soldiers appeared on the field (Level 2 Attack 900 Defense 0) "And then I will place one card face down and end my turn."
"Wait, he summoned a monster with zero defence points." Syrus stated "That doesn't seem like a strong move."
"That facedown could be a trap." Solona suggested. "But I know that my brother won't wander straight into a trap"
"All right, it's my move." Daylen stated as he drew his card
"And now I play my trap." Abidos smiled. "The First Sarcophagus. Now at the end of each of your turns, I can activate the Second and Third Sarcophagus and when all three are in place, you'll experience despair and darkness like none other than before."
"Well that doesn't stop me from trying to win." Daylen stated. "I'll start by summoning Skilled Dark Magician in attack mode." A magician wearing a black robe and holding a black rod of magic appeared on the field (Level 4 Attack 1900 Defense 1700) "And now I equip him with the spell Fairy Meteor Crush, now when my Magician attacks a monster in defense mode, the difference between my Magician's attack points and your monster's defense points are dealt as damage to you. Also since a spell card was played, my Magician gains a spell counter. Now go Skilled Dark Magician, attack that Protector with Dark Rod blast." Skilled Dark Magician sent a blast of dark magic from his robe which blasted the Protector and the monster turned to dust and blew Abidos back.
Daylen: 8000
Abidos: 6100
"And then I will end my turn with that." Daylen finished
"And now I can use the First Sarcophagus' effect to activate the spell card the Second Sarcophagus. And once the third is played, this duel and your soul will be mine."
"Well by activating another spell, Skilled Dark Magician gains another spell counter and you won't like what happens when a third counter is added."
"Well that won't happen." Abidos sneered. "I play the spell card, Tribute to the Doomed, now by discarding one card, your Magician is sent away." A hand appeared from underground which grabbed hold of Skilled Dark Magician and dragged him underground. "And now that's finished, I play the spell card Monster Reborn which allows me to summon back the monster I discarded, my Pyramid Turtle in attack mode." A large turtle wearing a pharaoh headset on its head and using a large pyramid as a shell appeared on the field (Level 4 Attack 1200 Defense 1400) "And I will follow that by summon Pharaonic Guardian." Another zombie soldier holding a spear appeared on the field (Level 2 Attack 900 Defense 0) "And now both my monsters will attack you directly." Pyramid Turtle charged at Daylen and Daylen was thrown back while the Guardian thrust his spear at Daylen which knocked him back.
Daylen: 5900
Abidos: 6100
"Daylen!" Jaden and the others yelled when Daylen was thrown onto his back
Abidos laughed. "Now don't you see, I cannot be beaten, so why don't you just throw down your key and walk away and I'll spare all your souls."
"Don't listen to him brother!" Solona yelled. "Remember, if those Sacred Beasts are unleashed then the whole world will be in danger."
"Don't worry sis." Daylen smiled as he got up. "I don't plan on giving up."
"So be it." Abidos said. "I place one card face down and end my turn"
Now it's my turn." Daylen drew his next card. "And I will start by playing the spell card Monster Reborn which allows me to summon back my Skilled Dark Magician from my graveyard." The Skilled Magician returned to the field. "Now I play Graceful Charity which allows me to draw three cards as long as I discard two." Daylen drew three cards and then discarded two cards in his hand. "And since a spell card was activated, Skilled Dark Magician gains a spell counter which will go to two when I play this next Spell, Dark Magic Veil, now by paying 1000 life points, I can summon a Dark Attribute spellcaster from my graveyard." A large purple line drawn circle appeared on the field as lightning zapped across the field and there was an explosion. "Now come on out, the great Dark Magician." The purple robed spellcaster appeared on the field (Level 7 Attack 2500 Defence 2100)
Daylen: 4900
Abidos: 6100
Abidos stared at the monster. 
"Master Mahad?" He gasped
"And now I play the spell card Dark Magic Attack." Daylen added
"Dark Magic Attack, isn't that the name of Dark Magician's attack?" Syrus questioned. "What does it do?"
"Since Daylen had Dark magician on his field then all of Abidos' spells and traps are destroyed." Zane answered
"So I guess we won't be seeing what those Sarcophagus do after all." Daylen smiled
Abidos sneered. "Sorry but I play my face down card, the trap Magic Jammer, now by discarding one card, your spell is negated."
Daylen's trap shattered. 
"Good move." Daylen grinned. "But now I play this spell, Thousand Knives, now since I have Dark Magician, I can destroy that Pyramid Turtle." Pyramid Turtle shattered. "Now another spell counter is added to Skilled Dark Magician, and since there are three, I can use his special ability and sacrifice him to summon another Dark Magician from my deck." Skilled Dark Magician was engulfed in a purple light and another Dark Magician appeared on the field. "Now go, my first Dark Magician will attack that Guardian with Dark Magic Attack." Dark Magician thrust his staff forward and sent a black ball of lighting which engulfed and destroyed the Guardian.
Daylen: 4900
Abidos: 4500
"And now my second Dark Magician will attack you directly." Daylen added and Abidos was blown back by a ball of light from the second Dark Magician's attack.
Daylen: 4900
Abidos: 2000
"What is he doing?" one of the servants demanded
"How dare he attack the Pharaoh!" Another shouted
Abidos fell to his knees. "Hold on, you can't attack me."
Daylen looked a bit confused. "Err, sorry but I can attack, that's how the game works, those are the rules of the game."
"But I am Pharaoh Abidos, the greatest Duelist of all time."
Jaden looked at him. 
"Greatest Duelist ever?" He questioned. "Well I'm not so sure about that. To tell you the truth, you haven't been dueling too well. For someone undefeated, I was expecting some great powerful monsters or wicked rare cards, but all I have seen are weak monsters and spells."
"Jaden's right." Syrus said. "This guys cards are no better than a starter deck."
"For a legend, this guy is a letdown." Kallian added
Chazz snorted "Looks like Daylen will win this duel easily."
Abidos was unresponsive as Daylen looked at him. "It's your move Abidos." Abidos didn't respond as he remembered his past. "Hello"
...
In Ancient Egypt, Pharaoh Abidos III used stone tablets as he dueled against some of his servants. "How I attack with Sinister Serpent." A large snake monster appeared and defeated one of the servants. "And I win another match." another servant was defeated by a swordsman with a snake like body. "I cannot be beaten." A large beetle defeated a third servant.
Later, Abidos was with his servants as they congratulated him. "You are the greatest oh Great Pharaoh."
"All hail Pharaoh Abidos." The servants chanted and Abidos smiled at them as he sat down on his throne.
But two of the servants were talking behind his back. "You know I'm getting sick and tired of having to lose to this spoiled brat every time."
"But if we don't he will probably feed us to the Lions." another said
...
Back in the present, Abidos remember this event. 
"Wait, did all my servants let me win?" He questioned himself
"Wait, they let you win." Daylen gasped
"Wow, what a great loser this guy is." Chazz snorted
"Hey that's not fair." Aedan hissed. "This guy has believed that he was a great Champion when every duel he's won was only won because his opponent's let him win"
"You know I wouldn't mind having servants like that." Syrus commented
"But his whole life has been a lie." Alexis stated
"That must be horrible for him to realize." Sereda agreed
Daylen looked at him. "You mean you never truly dueled before."
"I guess not." Abidos confirmed sadly
"Then let's start your first real duel now." Daylen said and Abidos looked confused. "I mean we will duel properly, but how about we do it right and you ditch that mask" Abidos took off his mask and showed his face.
"Daylen, just promise me that you will duel your best and don't go easy on me." Abidos said
"I never go easy on my opponents." Daylen smiled. "Now it's your move."
"With Pleasure." Abidos smiled. "And since your turn has ended, I can play the Third Sarcophagus. And now I discard two cards from my hand to activate the spell card Magical Stone Excavation which allows me to get my Tribute to the doomed back to my hand. Then I will activate Tribute to the Doomed in order to destroy one of those Dark Magicians." Large zombie hands grabbed hold of one of the Dark Magicians and dragged him underground. "And now I use the effects of my Sarcophagus, now by sacrificing all three of them, I can summon this monster, Spirit of the Pharaoh in attack mode." A large orange and blue colored monster that looked like a carving on one of the Sarcophagus' appeared on the field wielding a stickle as a weapon (Level 6 Attack 2500 Defense 2000)
"Not bad." Daylen commented. "But for a monster that needed those three cards to summon, I was expecting a lot more than 2500 attack points."
"Well it's a good job he has his effect." Abidos smiled. "After all a Pharaoh is nothing without his servants so when Spirit of the Pharaoh is summon, I can summon up to 4 level 2 or below zombie type monsters from my graveyard, and thanks to my spells, I have them." Four low level zombies that looked like Abidos' masked servants appeared on the field wielding spears (Level 2 Attack 900 Defense 0)
"But in order for Abidos to attack, he will have to sacrifice that Pharaoh to destroy that Dark Magician." Solona commented
"Well I suppose it's a good thing that I have this spell card." Abidos smiled. "The equip spell Pharaonic Protection. Now Spirit of the Pharaoh gains an extra 1000 attack points so now he can destroy that Dark Magician." An aura surrounded Spirit of the Pharaoh which made his stickle glow and then grow bigger (SOTP Attack 2500-3500)
"But now that Pharaoh is more powerful than Daylen's Dark Magician!" Neria gasped
"That's right." Abidos smiled. "Now go Spirit of the Pharaoh, destroy that Magician." Spirit of the Pharaoh sent a blast from his stickle which caused Dark Magician to moan before shattering.
Daylen: 3900
Abidos: 2000
"Now Daylen's wide open!" Chazz gasped
"Which means that my four weak monsters can attack you directly." Abidos smiled and then each of the four Zombie servants charged and they all thrust their spears through Daylen which forced him to his knees.
Daylen: 300
Abidos: 2000
"Daylen!" Solona gasped
"And now I will end my turn there." Abidos smiled. "Now remember what I said, now it's your turn so don't go easy on me"
Daylen smiled. "Don't worry, now you are getting the hang of this." He said. "And now it's my turn." Daylen drew his card. "And now I play Pot of Greed which allows me to draw two more cards. Then I use the effect of my Magical Stone Excavation only I will use it to get my Monster Reborn back to my hand." Daylen discarded two cards and got his monster Reborn back "And now I will play Monster Reborn to bring back one of my Dark Magicians." The Purple robbed Magician returned to the field
"Him again?" Abidos questioned
"And he is going to help me win this duel." Daylen stated. "Because now I play the spell card Dark Magic Strike, now since I control Dark Magician, I can destroy all your monsters."
"What!" Abidos gasped and then Dark Magician sent a large black magic cloud which sent lightning down on the field and destroyed all of Abidos' monsters leaving his field empty.
"All right!" Syrus cheered. "Now Abidos' field is clear"
"Which means that one attack from Dark Magician and its over." Kallian added
"Looks like your brother has this duel finished." Zevran stated
Solona sighed. 
"Not yet he hasn't" she stated which made everyone look at her. "When you use Dark Magic Strike, Dark Magician can't attack"
"Which means that Daylen has to survive another turn." Jaden stated
But Daylen smiled. "Sorry but I don't need to survive another turn." He said. "Because I'm ending this duel here and to do that, I using this spell card, Dedication through Light and Darkness, now by sacrificing Dark Magician, I can summon the legendary Dark Magician of Chaos." Dark Magician was engulfed in in a dark cloud and a black robbed Magician with a black headset and wielding a large Sceptre appeared on the field (Level 8 Attack 2800 Defense 2600) Everyone even Abidos stared in awe at the monster. "And now it's time to end this Duel, now attack with Sceptre Strike." Dark Magician of Chaos sent a ball of magic from his Sceptre which struck Abidos and blew him back.
Daylen: 300 (Winner)
Abidos: 0000
Abidos fell to his knees but he had a smile on his face. 
"Hey, are you alright?" Daylen asked as he walked over.
Abidos smiled and he looked at him. 
"I'm fine." He answered. "You Daylen have shown me that Dueling is all about fun and there is nothing wrong with losing."
"Dueling is all about having fun." Jaden grinned. "There is nothing wrong with losing."
Abidos smile and he took off his headband and he handed it to Daylen. "Take this as a remainder of our Duel, you've earnt it. And good luck in your quest to protect the remaining Spirit Gates. Now I allow you all to go home." Abidos let his arms out and a large light engulfed the Key Keepers along with Syrus, Zevran and Kallian and soon all of them were sent back to Duel Academy island and they looked up to see Abidos' ship sailing up into the clouds.
…
Later, all of the Key Keepers were walking together. 
"You know our collection of these Shadow Tokens just gets bigger and bigger." Jaden grinned. Daylen looked at the headband.
Chazz groaned. 
"You, Neria and Daylen have two Shadow Tokens while most of us have one." He groaned. "And you have cool things while I get this eye patch." He brought out the Eye Patch he recovered from Don Zaloog. "What am I supposed to do with this?"
"It would make you look like a good pirate." Zevran chuckled which made Neria, Kallian and Syrus laugh and Chazz glared at them.
"Don't you start moaning Chazz." Aedan hissed. "Alexis and I still haven't dueled a Shadow Rider Yet?"
"Well maybe it will be your chance." Solona said. "But still, our collection gets bigger." She brought out the mask she recovered from Blackbird"
"Well Jaden and I have two." Neria laughed as she brought out the mask from Black Soldier and the pendent from Avexis while Jaden brought out Nightshroud's mask and Tania's gauntlet and Sereda took Nightingale's pendant.
"Well the good news is that we are nearly done with the Shadow Riders." Daylen said as he looked at the headband along with Camula's necklace. "There are only three Shadow Riders left and we still have eight keys. It would take a really powerful Shadow Rider to beat us all."
"Right." The key keepers cheered as they carried on.
But none of them knew that someone was watching them from behind the trees. 
"Yes Children, because soon, you will have the chance to be tested." He murmured. "Soon you will all face your true test."
