A Greater Porpoise

"Chazz joined what?" Davis asked Hassleberry.

"The Society of Light." Hassleberry informed him.

"He's fallen under Sartorius' influence." Ryan said.

"Then just let me face him in a duel." Tyson called out.

"That's not a good idea." Kaoru advised her younger brother.

"And why not?" Tyson asked.

Ryan then stepped forward.

"The simple truth is, we have no idea what he'll do." He explained. "We need to be careful with our next move."

"Okay so what about Chazz?" Davis asked. "What do we do about him?"

"Let me worry about him." Ryan answered. "As it stands I'm the only person that won't be brainwashed by the Light of Destruction."

"Very well, but Kaoru you might want to check on the Ra dorm for a bit and visit Sartyr and Davis you'd best get back to the Blue dorm." Tyson said. "I'd handle things in Ra Yellow myself but there's still the matter of keeping Bonaparte from demolishing the red dorm and expelling all the Slifers."

"How are Arisa and Jaden doing?" Alexis asked the others.

"Arisa's gotten Jaden to where the boat has to be." Davis said. "The rest is up to them."

*Meanwhile...*

Arisa and Jaden were driving to their destination in the speed boat.

"Alright we're almost there." Arisa said.

Suddenly there was a bright flash in the sky. Jaden and Arisa covered their eyes. Both looked up and saw what they thought was a shooting star, but it changed direction into the water next to the boat, causing them to lose consciousness. After waking up, they found themselves on a beach.

"Guess I floated back to Academy island." Jaden muttered.

"Sorry, but no." Arisa corrected him.

He looked to the side and saw what looked like Jupiter.

"We're in outer space." Arisa said.

"Where exactly are we?" Jaden asked.

"Odds are, the planet Jupiter."

"Your friend is right."

They looked out at the water, but the only thing was there were some dolphins jumping around.

"Why do I get the feeling this is gonna involve another save the earth adventure?" Arisa asked.

"Who said that?" Jaden asked.

One of the dolphins swam towards the beach, staring Jaden in the face.

"I did. Welcome Jaden Yuki, Arisa Shiba."

"Huh, talking dolphins in heaven. Who knew?"

"Jaden we're in outer space, not heaven." Arisa reminded him.

"I think this is the place." Arisa said. "These are the life forms that can help us."

"My name is Aquos and we have been waiting for you, Jaden."

"Why me?" Jaden asked.

"Because the universe needs our help." Arisa answered.

"Exactly." Aquos nodded. "It's being threatened by the Light of Destruction. Which is why we've been waiting for you, the one who wields the power of the Gentle Darkness."

"Well I think you got the wrong guy." Jaden said. "Arisa's the one you should ask, since she and her family can protect the earth."

Just then, a strange space craft came out of the sky and landed on the beach.

Arisa looked at the craft, knowing it was dangerous.

"It looks like we need to resolve your dueling problem quickly."

"Who or what is that?" Jaden asked.

"An emissary of the light, and it's up to you to face it."

"I'd love to, but I don't have a deck, and even if I did, I'm not able to see my cards."

"I left my deck with Tyson to make sure it wouldn't get ruined during the trip over here so I'm not much help either." Arisa added.

"You might have more luck with the cards in that device then."

"What device?" Jaden asked.

"The one over there." Arisa pointed at it.

Jaden was directed to a satellite crashed on the beach. Jaden walked up to the satellite and a panel slid off, a capsule rolling out. He opened the capsule and found a deck of cards inside.

Arisa could still see the cards clearly as Jaden brought them back, but to Jaden they were still blank.

"You can do it Jaden, just remember why you duel."

"Believe in yourself and you'll go far."

A hatch on the underside of the ship opened and a strange mechanical being came out of the ship.

"Alright, time to get my game on!" Jaden declared.

A duel disk appeared on his arm, fully charged and ready to duel.

"That's convenient." Jaden said.

"Duel." The alien replied.

"Let's go!"

Alien: 4000

Jaden: 4000

"You can do this Jaden." Arisa said.

Jaden drew his first five cards, but they were blank just like his own deck. He turned back to Aquos, who just nodded reassuringly.

"Okay. I draw." Jaden drew his sixth card.

Arisa however could see the cards clearly, but she had never seen these before.

Suddenly it glowed and changed into a card he thought he recognized.

"Wait a minute! Time out, I need to check something."
