Back at it with Chapter Five. This chapter will involve Jasper and Noah getting a bit closer, as well as the Dueling Academia's Duelist Dance engages with the two learning a bit more about each other. With that being said, let's jump right into it!

Jasper, over the next two days, would be fine tuning his duel runner with Yusei as well as chatting with him and Crow about the signers' mark. After this, Jasper would change into a white casual dress top and grat casual dress pants with sneakers since he couldn't stand dress shoes.

"Oh, you need to wear dress shoes!" Tèa said as Akiza nodded.

"No, I'm stopping you there, I'm really flat-footed, and there's not a shoemaker in the world who can fix that," Jasper quickly said, shutting down the conversation.

"Well, those shoes are pretty close," Akiza said, smiling as Jasper nodded.

"I know, that's why I'm wearing them," Jasper said as he went outside watching Yusei, Yugi, and Crow talking as well as the two signers working still.

"The modifications are finished, Jasper," Yusei said, smiling as Jasper whistles at the more angel and demon decals and designs, "Didn't have the chance to actually finish it after the whole Turbo Duel."

"Thanks, Yusei," Jasper said, fist bumping the leader of the Signers.

"You have fun," Yugi said as Jasper nodded, jumping onto the duel runner and headed off for Noah's house.

"So... Did anyone give Jasper the talk?" Crow asks as everyone began laughing a bit, heading inside.

Jasper smiled at how smooth his runner was moving as he headed down the streets of New Domino City.

"This contrasts so much to California," Jasper replied as he smiled a bit, noticing people wave at him whenever he drove by. Jasper waved back as he stopped at a stoplight, checking his map and making sure he was heading in the right direction. Once the light turned green, Jasper took off to the right, heading up into the more luxurious neighborhood. Jasper immediately noticed the difference as most of the people waved their fists and shouted profanities at him.

"Well damn..." Jasper said, snickering a lot, "Here it is."

Jasper would pull into the driveway of Noah's house, whistling at the size of it.

"Not too bigger than what I lived in..." Jasper said before going wide-eyed, looking down.

"Miss Asha and Sam?" Aries asks.

Jasper nods as he wiped his eyes. It's been a year since Jasper had left home to pursue his own life after being emancipated by the courts. He lost touch with his foster brother and sister as he wanted to renew his life completely. After he stood in the same place for a little while, Jasper approached the front door and wouldn't get to knock as a little girl opened the door.

"Hi," Jasper said as the girl stood silently, "What's your name?"

"..." The girl blinked as Jasper frowns, then snaps and began signing as the girl smiles, "...Ashlyn."

"That's a beautiful name," Jasper said and signed as Ashlyn smiled.

"What's your name?" Ashlyn signs as Jasper replied, smiling. Ashlyn was wide-eyed before she sprinted back inside with Jasper blinking. Ashlyn would return with Noah's parents as they stared at him.

"Uh... hi," Jasper said, waving and putting his best smile on.

"You're the kid who beat my son? You look like a joke," Noah's dad, Adam, said as Jasper blinks, "Noah talked about how this jerk was able to beat him."

"... Oh, you're one of those dads..." Jasper said, pulling his phone out and going to his banking account. Adam kept ranting as Jasper poked his shoulder, showing his account as Adam shut up quickly, "Yeah... well, this jerk is the six time American Dueling Champion, and I don't rub it into people's faces."

"Wait, Jasper Morganstone?" Adam said as his wife, Evangeline, smiles, "Oh, I'm so sorry. Noah said the guy was a jerk."

"Oh, I'm sure..." Jasper said, rolling his eyes. Thumps could be heard as Noah appears wearing a white and dark blue jacket with uniform black pants.

"Hey!" Noah said, smiling as Noah stares at Jasper, "Nice formal casual."

"Nice school uniform," Jasper quickly retorted.

"I have to wear it," Noah said as Evangeline and Adam waved to their son, "We will have fun!"

"I hope so," Jasper said as the two sixteen-year-olds hopped onto their duel runners and took off with Jasper following Noah.

"Hey, did you have a difficult time driving up here?" Noah asks as Jasper shakes his head.

"No, I used to live in a mansion," Jasper said as Noah slowed down to ride next to him, "That's a lifetime ago, Noah."

"Oh..." Noah said as he noticed Jasper's pained expression, causing Noah to drop the subject, "Did you meet my sister?"

"Yeah," Jasper replied, "Is she deaf?"

"Yeah, and with a slight heart condition," Noah said as Jasper tensed up, being shocked about the heart condition, "We gotten used to it. It doesn't bother her, but it's discomforting at certain times."

"Have you looked into medical help?" Jasper asks as Noah nods.

"It's a very expensive surgery, both it and her ears," Noah said, frowning. "My parents have tried to come up with the money for it through donations and their jobs, but it's nowhere enough."

"Oh... I'm sorry to hear that," Jasper said as Noah stopped at a stoplight with Jasper stopping next to him.

"Most of the students know that situation and offered to help, but I don't want to be viewed as weak," Noah said as Jasper blinks, "But anyways..."

"I lost my parents at a very young age," Jasper said as Noah gasped. "I was put into several foster homes, but no one could understand my... other abilities. So, my case worker was able to find my godparents, and I lived with them for a while."

"Did you go to school?" Noah asks as they take off once more, heading down a private road after Noah showed the security officer at the gate his ID.

"No, I was homeschooled with my brother and sister," Jasper said as Noah frowned, "I didn't exactly have a decent childhood, no friends, no trustful relationships..."

"That's terrible," Noah said as Jasper nodded a bit.

"I was emancipated when I turned fourteen, and with a bit of the money I had, I moved around till my sixteenth birthday, and I came here," Jasper said as the two boys parked their runners. Jasper noticed the academy as he noticed the red, blue, and yellow roof tops of three buildings.

"This is Duel Academia," Noah said as a group of students began approaching them, "And here comes the cavalry..."

"Get out of here, you freak!" One of the students said as Jasper noticed the uniforms being the same, "You don't deserve to be an Obelisk Blue."

"Oh, I'm just as Pro as you all," Noah said, pouting as Jasper frowns a bit, "Just because I have a Valentine's Day themed deck doesn't make me a freak..."

"Yes, it does!" Another student said as the students began laughing.

"I suggest you keep moving along," Jasper said, "Clearly, you all have your heads so far up your privileged asses that all the words that come out your mouth reek of nothing but bullshit."

Noah was wide-eyed, staring at Jasper just as the other Obelisk students stuttered but snarled as they walked away.

"Thanks..." Noah said as Jasper nodded, "Come along, I have to take you to meet the headmaster so he knows you're with me."

Noah and Jasper would head off, but not before Jasper waved his hand, placing special enchantments on their runners to prevent anything from happening to them. After a bit, Noah began telling Jasper how the academy was set up.

"Wait... so everything's based on the God cards with Slifer being viewed as the worst rank..." Jasper asks as Noah nods, "Yeah, that sounds like Seto Kaiba."

Noah snickers as they turn a corner seeing a group of Slifer, Ra, and Obelisk students crowded around an older guy.

"That's Mr. Crowler, our headmaster and dorm master of the male Obelisks," Noah said as Jasper frowns a bit. Noah would attempt to push through the students as Jasper hums approaching him.

"Climb on," Jasper said as Noah blinked, watching Jasper knelt slightly. Noah was bright red but complied as Jasper smiled, taking one of his spell cards out of his duel belt.

"Orbs of Chaos activate," Jasper said as the Orbs appeared before turning flat with Jasper climbing onto them.

"What are you... Woah!" Noah exclaims as the two begin floating over the students now with the students and Mr. Crowler stared in awe.

"He's flying!" One Slifer student said.

"Wait... that's Noah the Valentine Freak!" An Obelisk student said as they noticed Noah's cheeks were red, "LOOK AT HIS FACE!!!"

The students began laughing as Jasper landed, placing Noah next to him.

"Well, well, if it isn't Noah the Obelisk Freak, did you find your date for the dance?" Mr. Crowler asks as Noah is hesitant but nods, pointing to Jasper, "This boy is your date?"

"Wait... he's a freak and gay!?" Several students said as Jasper eyes Noah, who was on the verge of tears hearing the students laugh at him. Mr. Crowler smirked smugly as Jasper picked up Noah, eyeing him.

"It was a mistake..." Noah said, sniffling as Jasper frowned more, "We better go home..."

"Oh no," Jasper said as Noah eyes him, noticing Jasper's blue eyes, "Hand me your deck."

"Why?" Noah asks as Jasper frowns, but Noah handed him his deck as Jasper examines it with Aries appearing next to him nodding.

"Oi, if you can be in a position to be talking bad about one of your own students," Jasper said, approaching Mr. Crowler, who stared him, "Then you wouldn't mind a duel."

"Against Noah's boyfriend? No, you're just a joke," Mr. Crowler said, smiling smugly as the students began laughing.

"Oh, I forgot... you don't have dignity here," Jasper said, "my name is Jasper Morganstone, as in SIX time American Dueling Champion. Three Time World Dueling Champion. Oh..."

Jasper approaches Mr. Crowler poking his chest.

"Also, the guy who beaten Maximillion Pegasus, whereas a certain headmaster couldn't get one card combination in order to beat him," Jasper added, smirking as Mr. Crowler growled. The students began whispering amongst themselves with Noah staring at Jasper.

"Wait... you were the ten year old who defeated Pegasus?" Noah asks as Jasper nods.

"Here, I'll even use Noah's deck to give you a much better advantage, but I will add four cards to it to give me a sense of security," Jasper said smiling.

"You and me, in the arena," Mr. Crowler said, walking off as Jaden had sprinted over to him with his friends.

"Dude, you're dueling, Crowler, Jasper?" Jaden asks as Jasper nods, shuffling his four cards into Noah's deck, "Dude, you're nuts. I was lucky when I beaten."

Jasper would ignore Jaden as he finished shuffling.

"Did you hear what I said?" Jaden asks. His friend Syrus was staring at Jasper, frowning a bit. Several of Jaden's friends appeared as they had different colored uniforms.

"You're nuts," a Slifer student said, "And Chumley is my name."

Jasper eyes the others hearing their names as Jaden frowns.

"And don't worry, Jaden, I'll win," Jasper said smiling, "But I do need directions to the arena."

Jaden and Noah, with their friends, led Jasper to the arena. Jasper whistles as the student body is sitting in their assigned section seats. Jaden and his friends would head to their seats with Noah gently grabbing Jasper's arm.

"... Good luck..." Noah said before heading to his section frowning. Jasper sighs a bit before stepping on to the arena.

"Where's your duel disc?" Mr. Crowler asks as Jasper frowns before raising his left arm, which glows with his nephalem inspired duel disc appearing.

"Woah! Where do I get a duel disc like that!" One student said as Syrus was in awe. Noah's eyes sparkled, never seeing Jasper's duel disc as he used a normal one to duel Yugi.

"That's an awesome duel disc," Mr. Crowler said, smirking, "Care to put that up for keeps?"

"Ha... no," Jasper said, putting Noah's deck into his duel disc with it activating, "Now shut up and put your deck in."

Mr. Crowler would snarl but smirks, putting his deck into the duel disc.

"Alright, if I win, you and Noah leave here and never come back, and I get your duel disc," Mr. Crowler said as Jasper frowns.

"Fine, I won't lose," Jasper said as Aries and Travis frowned, appearing, "I got this, guys."

The angel and demon disappeared after nodding as they trusted Jasper. Mr. Crowler and Jasper drew their five cards as the arena raises up.

"I'll start this out," Jasper said, examining his cards humming a bit.

"Come on, a champion like you shouldn't be wasting your time on pathetic cards," Mr. Crowler said as the students laughed a bit.

"I place one card face down in defense and two cards face down," Jasper said after studying a bit.

"Draw," Vellian Crowler said as his deck was on his chest piece when he drew his card. He examines it smiling, "I activate the Field Spell Geartown."

A massive town filled with gears appeared on Crowler's side as he smiled a bit. Jasper remained stoic but watched it finish materializing.

"Now, I summon Ancient Gear Knight in attack mode," Crowler said as the monster appeared with 1800 attack points roaring, "Attack that face down card with Battle Sword Slash!"

Ancient Gear Knight rushes the face down card as Jasper smiles a bit when the level one Spirit Kid gets destroyed. Vellian Crowler began laughing as Jasper sighed a bit.

"You finished?" Jasper asks as Vellian Crowler nods viciously, "Good, since Damage Step is over... Trap card activate."

Noah recognized the mirror picture on the trap card as Jasper smiled.

"Known as the Mirror Of Elvish Love," Jasper said, "It's effect... I can mimic any field spell I want in exchange for half of my life points."

"Oh, and what pathetic field spell is that?" Vellian Crowler asks as Jaden stands up with wide eyes. The student body was on their feet being mesmerized.

"Oh pathetic?" Jasper asks with a more crisper voice, causing Vellian Crowler to stare at Jasper's hair, which begins turning to a split hair color, "Boy... You're gonna regret saying that statement. I'm using my ace field spell, Purgatorial Sanctuary!"

Jasper snaps his fingers as his life points drop to 4000 with his signature field spell appearing on his field. Noah's eyes sparkled as Jasper smiled.

"If the Mirror Of Elvish Love activates to completion, your turn ends automatically," Jasper said as Crowler growls, "Well, time to end this duel..."

"Say what!?" Crowler yells as Jasper draws.

"I draw!" Jasper yells as he examines his card, smirking, "So... how do you want to lose, Mr. Crowler?"

"Excuse me?!" Mr. Crowler exclaims as Jasper smirks.

"I know... I remove the light attributed card, Lover's Moonlight from play," Jasper said, smirking removing the card as he takes another card raising it, "to special summon my angel ace, Aries, the Angel of Light!!"

Jasper slams the card down as Aries appears flying around the arena and over the students as Chazz Princeton stands up.

"THAT'S SO COOL!!" Chazz yells as the Obelisk students were in awe with Aries hovering to Jasper's right.

"An actual Angel..." Syrus said as Chumley was in awe. Jasper smiled as Aries chuckled.

"You all wanna see awesome!?" Jasper yells as the students begin cheering, "Purgatorial Sanctuary's effect activates! When I summon Aries to field via its effect, I get to special summon his twin brother. Come forth, Travis, the Demon of Darkness!!"

A pitch black beam ignites in front of him as Travis appears on Jasper's left side, hovering as the girls swoon for him. Aries shook his head as Travis coughs.

"Oh no... the summoning isn't done," Jasper said, pressing a button, "Activate the spell card known as Contract with Alteration."

"What's that?" Crowler asks as Jasper smiles.

"It's a nifty spell card, one that will put a nail in your coffin," Jasper said, "First, we each draw one card. If it's a monster, we get to summon it or trade up for a monster we choose, ignoring summoning conditions; Spell: automatically activates it. Trap, discard, and draw one card."

"Hehe..." Vellian said as he and Jasper drew their card, "I trade up for the fusion monster, Ultimate Ancient Gear Golem, but I discard my Ancient Gear Golem and my two Ancient Gears from my hand instead."

The massive titan appears as Jasper smiles a bit.

"Give up! There's no card you have that can beat my beast!" Crowler yells laughing as his monster had 4400 attack points and 3400 defense points.

"Spirits of the other world... hear my cry... give me the strength in this fight," Jasper began chanting as the card he held was the one he needed as it began glowing purple, "Oh guider of Chaos, avenger of souls Come forth and heed in this bout. I summon thee..."

Jasper's eyes shot open, revealing a royal purple color.

"Alyx Solana, the AngelicDemon of Souls!" Jasper yells, tossing the ritual card down as a ray of purple light ignites with a female nephalem appearing with valkyrie armor on as she spins a massive scythe around.

"That's... that's..." Crowler said as Jasper smirked.

"A female nephalem," Jasper said as he smirked, "And with a very interesting effect. If I have both Aries and Travis on the field when she is summoned, I can conjure up the all mighty... but first... I will use her second ability. If I have one angel and one demon on the field, I can increase their levels to the same as hers for one turn. I raise Aries' and Travis' levels to 12."

Aries and Travis felt their levels rising as Alyx smiled a bit. Jasper's shirt would disappear as the tattoo of the Crimson Dragon began shining brightly with Jasper's back glowing with wings appearing as Jasper jumped to one of the float platforms.

"The conditions are set!! I BUILD THE OVERLAY NETWORK!!!" Jasper yells as Aries and Travis smiled turning to their signature color energy before they flew into a galaxy portal that appeared before a rainbow color stream.

"Light and Darkness... come together to form the aether..." Jasper's words echoed as a being with markings began forming, "Appear! Supreme Chaotic force!!!"

Jasper began roaring as gray energy began igniting off his body.

"I XYZ SUMMON, RANK 12!! DËM, THE TRUE DEMONICANGEL!!!" Jasper roars as a gray beam ignites into the air with the familiar being appearing with two energy balls encircling him. Crowler was trembling in fear as Alexus Rhodes was up recognizing Jasper.

"That's Jasper Morganstone... the Mythic Duelist," Alexus said as the students were wide-eyed, "I'm so sorry, Noah... I didn't know you knew the greatest Duelist in the world."

"You weren't picking on me, Alexus..." Noah said as Jasper eyes him, giving Noah a thumbs up as Noah smiles a bit.

"Crowler, I'm gonna teach the one thing you fail as a teacher and principal to teach your students!!" Jasper yells as his eyes begin glowing, "THERE IS NO DECK STRONGER THAN ANY OTHER!! WITHOUT TRUST IN THE HEART OF THE CARDS, YOUR PRIDE WILL BE YOUR DOWNFALL!!!"

Crowler snarled as Jasper picked up Alyx Solana.

"I detach both materials on Dëm, activating his effect!!" Jasper yells, "I can remove any two cards from my deck, field, graveyard, or Extra Deck. If one card is an Extra Deck Monster, I get to choose one card from my deck and activate it! I remove Alyx Solana and the Level 12 Synchro Monster, Spirit Cupid, Guardian of Love from play!!"

Dëm's attack points would rise to nearly 20,000 attack points as Crowler was in fear.

"Oh, don't coward now..." Jasper said as a card shot out from the deck into Jasper's hand, "You call Noah's deck pathetic... there's one card... one aspect that separates him from every single one of you..."

"And what's that?" Crowler asks as his eyes widen in horror when Jasper flipped the card over, causing Noah to gasp and begin crying.

"He fucking cares..." Jasper said tearing up, "I activate the spell card, RAINBOW SANCTITY!!"

Energy began pooling into Dëm who roared in fury.

"This doubles Dëm's attack power to 40,000 for the Spirit Cupid removed from play," Jasper said, frowning, "HERE'S TO YOUR FIRST LOSS BY AN OUTSIDER!!! ATTACK!!!"

Dëm would fly up before Jasper points at Ultimate Ancient Gear Golem.

"DESTROY ULTIMATE ANCIENT GEAR GOLEM WITH RAINBOW SPIRAL FORCE!!!" Jasper roars as hyper rainbow energy encased Dëm who flew at high speeds towards the mechanical monster feeling Spirit Cupid infused within him. Ultimate Ancient Gear Golem would launch its massive fist at him, but the arm would get destroyed as Dëm would quickly fly straight up before flying straight down, becoming pure energy as he crashed on top of the Ancient Gear monster causing a rainbow explosion to occur reducing Crowler's life points to zero instantly.

"That's game..." Jasper said as Crowler stared at Jasper in awe, "Now APOLOGIZE!!"

"I'm sorry, Noah Kyzer... please forgive me!!" Crowler said, crying as Noah held his mouth. The other students who picked on him and Jasper began apologizing to Noah quickly.

"That was awesome!!" Chazz yells as Jasper smiles with his shirt appearing back on, "Jaden told us about your duel with Yugi, but we thought it was bull..."

Chazz, Jaden, and the others eyed Noah, who began approaching Jasper as Jasper handed Noah his deck back.

"You have an incredible deck, Noah. Be confident in it and yourself," Jasper said, smiling as Noah began crying, tackling Jasper in a tight hug.

"You don't understand... everyone kept calling me a freak when I came here... I wanted to drop out as soon as I could, but... you gave me my confidence back," Noah said as Jasper tears up, hugging Noah back, "Thank you, Jasper... Thank you so much!"

"No, thank you," Jasper said, "You gave me purpose once again."

"Now now," Crowler said as the group eyed him, "Don't you two have duel runners to grab?"

"Oh shit," Jasper said, covering his mouth, "Sorry!"

"It's fine, you are one capable Duelist," Crowler said as Jesse and Alexus nodded, "Have you considered coming here?"

"Considered? Sir, no disrespect, but no," Jasper said, "Besides, I was homeschooled. Wouldn't be able to join if I say yes. And I'm perfectly fine with that."

"I see," Crowler said, eyeing Noah, "You better hold on to his friendship."

"Oh, that's a given," Noah said as the boys ran off to get their vehicles. The dance and all forms of Dueling were held in the center of the area as a massive open dance hall with arenas and Turbo Dueling track could be seen. The students had changed into more formal wear, but Jasper noticed some casual aspects.

"Oh, you have no idea how good it feels to be out of uniform," Noah said as Noah had stopped by his dorms to change before appearing next to Jasper, who was wide-eyed, "...What?"

"Pardon my French, but THAT'S your formal casual?!" Jasper asks, pointing to Noah's short shorts and cropped dress shirt as Noah frowns, looking at it.

"Yeah?" Noah replied as Jasper blinked, slowly moving much faster as Noah smiled. "Why?!"

"Nope, not gonna bury myself," Jasper said as Aries and Travis appeared, smirking.

"I don't know, I felt Jasper's heart rate and temperature increased when he saw it..." Aries said as Travis began snickering.

"SHUT UP!!" Jasper yells at the laughing angel and demon.

"Who did you scream at?" Noah asks as he and the other students are following him into the dance hall when he screams.

"Damn it..." Jasper said as Aries and Travis were laughing, knowing what happened, "Nothing."

"Oh... ok," Noah said as the students began laughing hysterically, seeing Jasper blush pink.

"I hate you two..." Jasper said under his breath as the angel and demon smiled. Once everyone arrived, the superintendent or so Jasper thought appeared and spoke before turning everyone loose as dance music, lights, and such began shining as everyone was dancing, Dueling, and mingling as Jasper was sitting down at one of the tables watching everyone having fun.

"Hey! Come on and have fun!" Jaden said as he and Syrus walk over to Jasper, who shook his head, "Please?"

"...Alright... Alright!!" Jasper said, laughing at the guys giving pouts before getting up and followed the guys onto the dance floor as they began dancing.

"Hey, you got some moves!" Syrus said, laughing at Jasper, who was following the beat, "I thought you hated dancing?"

"Ok, I like to dance, I hate being the center of everyone's attention," Jasper said as Syrus nodded with Jaden grooving his shoulders. However, Syrus', Jaden's, and Jasper's fun would be cut short as the rest of the Obelisk and Ra students would join on the dance floor pushing the Silfer students off.

"Sorry!" Jesse said as the group frowns a bit, noticing the groups laughing.

"Oh, that's bull, and you know it..." Jasper said, pouting as Jesse nodded.

"I have pride for another reason," Jesse said as the group chuckled except for Jasper, who got up off the floor as he went over to referee a duel between Chumley and Crowler. Jasper chuckles as Chumley loses his composure and the duel.

"Man..." Chumley said as Mr. Crowler eyes Jasper.

"What comments do you have to say to him?" Mr. Crowler asks as Jasper thinks with Chumley looking down.

"One, definitely be confident in playing your cards," Jasper said as Chumley smiled, "But also play to your strengths. You don't have to be perfect. Just be smarter."

"Ok!" Chumley said with confidence as Jasper began snickering a bit before he eyes the dance floor, seeing Noah dancing a couple of kids his age smiling a bit. Mr. Crowler would walk away as Chumley poked Jasper.

"Yeah?" Jasper asks as Chumley smiles smugly.

"You definitely have feelings for Noah Kyzer," Chumley said as Jasper went bright pink and shook his hands and head.

"I do not!" Jasper said as Chumley raised an eyebrow.

"Sure..." Chumley said, chuckling as he walked off, leaving Jasper by himself as Jasper looked down, thinking to himself before his eyes drifted over to Noah, who had a different energy on him in Jasper's eyes as Jasper looks down, knowing his cheeks were a much hyper shade of pink.

"Aww, someone's in love~," Aries said as the angel began laughing.

"Oh fuck off..." Jasper said as he sighs more. Jasper was about to head back to the others before dodging a white to purple ombre line of energy that blazed up.

"Damn! I was hoping to catch you," Jasper heard a female voice say. Noah was the first one who saw the energy stream as he sprinted over. However, Syrus and Jaden would stop Noah as Noah was struggling to get off.

"They're smart," a girl said, appearing from the energy smirking evilly, "Hiya... Jasper."

"Amandaline... you died," Jasper said, going wide-eyed as the Crimson Dragon appeared.

"Don't fall for it. She's a Dark Signer... I thought they were vanquished when Rex was beaten..." Quetzalcoatl replied.

"Well, I'm here," Amandaline said, smirking pointing at Jasper, "and this time... we have one goal in mind. The destruction of the vessel."

"Vessel?" Jasper questions as Amandaline laughs.

"You can't fool us, Jasper, we know what you are!" Amandaline exclaims as the ground shakes hard. A massive image of a water serpent appears etching in the same energy as a duel runner appears next to Amandaline.

"Let's commence the Shadow Turbo Duel... I heard you have a knack for Turbo Dueling," Amandaline said as Jasper frowns but whistles as his Duel Runner comes flying over the energy trail, stopping next to him, "I bet your parents would be so proud that you disregarded their wish on your inability to be normal."

"Normal?" Jasper said, mounting his runner, frowning, "You have no idea what it was like... You only saw what I wanted you to see."

"Oh, I saw plenty being your ex and all," Amandaline said as a screen was playing, showing the conversation as Noah and the others were wide-eyed, but Noah was extremely affected upon hearing the "ex" portion of the sentence. Amandaline smiles a bit, eyeing Jasper.

"You definitely have someone on your mind, perhaps I can meet them after taking your power," Amandaline said as she mounted her runner.

"3..."

"2..."

"1... DUEL!!" Jasper and Amandaline yelled as they began racing each other. Amandaline would pass a segment first as she smiled.

"My turn, when I have no monsters on the field, I get to special summon the Light Gaia to the field," Amandaline said as a lime green energy girl appears having no attack nor defensive points but was level ten, "Now, I summon the dark tuner known as Hell Spawn!"

A devil like entity appears as Jasper frowns. Amandaline would spin on her runner to face Jasper.

"I commence the Dark Synchro summon," Amandaline said, "by tuning Hell Spawn to my Light Gaia!"

"Sea of Darkness, come forth and overshadow the light, spread thy pain and suffering!" Amandaline said, "SYNCHRO SUMMON... ANCIENT AETHER GUARDIAN!!"

A massive giant appears as Jasper snarls, remembering the Guardian hating it now that it was a Dark Synchro Monster. Jasper and Amandaline would begin making sharp turns as Amandaline smiles.

"I place three cards face down and end my turn," Amandaline said as Jasper frowns a bit.

"I draw! I activate the spell card, Dark Dealings; this card will allow me to special summon one dark type monster from my deck directly to my field! Come Travis!!" Jasper yells as his demon appears roaring, "But I exchange one of my speed counters and 500 life points."

"Hehe... always trying to sacrifice life for death, that's so you," Amandaline said as Jasper frowns a bit, "But too bad you wasted that spell. Trap card activate, Death Horizon. If my opponent special summons a monster, that monster is immediately destroyed."

Jasper was wide-eyed when Travis got destroyed.

"And you take damage equal to double their attack points," Amandaline said as Jasper screamed in pain as his points dropped to 2500 with his duel runner faltering, "Look at that! With one card, I took nearly all your life points!"

Jasper began coughing up blood as his vision began faltering.

"Jasper!?" Aries yells in horror.

"I'm fine..." Jasper said as Amandaline laughs evilly.

"That's not true. It's time I expose what you are... Mythic Guardian Jasper D'Angelo Morganstone," Amandaline said as one of the students, a girl with blue hair, recognized the first and last name.

"Luna..." a voice said.

"I know, Yusei told me about him," the girl said as Leo appeared next to his twin sister, "We have to help him."

"Yeah, Yusei told me when I visited him," Leo said, smiling as Luna nodded.

"Let me go... I know that name," the voice replied.

"Are you sure, Ancient Fairy Dragon?" Luna asks, pulling her dragon out as the dragon nods, "Ok. Please! Help him out!!"

Luna channeled her Crimson Dragon mark, which was one of the claws before throwing her dragon up towards the track. Jasper had ended his turn with his Aries in defense as he had five cards face down. Amandaline began laughing, having her Earthbound Immortal - Awanyu, which was a massive horned water serpent, as the new evil card growls at Jasper.

"You only have 1000 life points and one monster!" Amandaline exclaims as Jasper coughed more, "Aww... measly little Jasper getting choked up."

"Damn you..." Jasper said before a wave of energy coursed through him, giving him an extra 1000 life points, "What?"

"LEAVE HIM ALONE!!!" The voice roars.

Jasper would look up at the massive fairy dragon hybrid flying towards him. The Crimson Dragon appeared next to him as he eyes her.

"Ancient Fairy Dragon... Luna?" Jasper said as the card lands into his hand.

"Yes... please, I want to help you win against her," Ancient Fairy Dragon said, "You're just like my Luna... Kind, gentle, and a great warrior."

"Ancient Fairy Dragon..." Jasper said, tearing up. Amandaline began laughing in insane joy.

"You think a measly old dragon can defeat my new Earthbound! Please, get with reality, and die just like your parents did!" Amandaline yells as Jasper's eyes widen in horror.

"What did you say...?" Jasper asks as Amandaline smirks.

"Oh... Did that pique your interest," Amandaline said, "I tell you this. They were begging us not to harm you... as they drew their last breath. Mistreating their son while they were alive yet begged us no harm? The biggest hypocrites we've met."

Jasper's entire body began trembling as Leo and Luna held their mouths in slight horror. Noah was shaking his head in disbelief.

"That doesn't change a thing!" Aries yells at Amandaline, "You don't know a thing about the kindness Jasper has given people!"

"Kindness?! People use him for his power. There's nothing kind about that!" Amandaline said as Jasper began losing the will to duel, "See, even your master isn't denying it."

"Jasper?" Aries asks as his eyes widen seeing the distant look in Jasper's eyes, "Wake up! You do matter to people! You're not a weapon, not a tool!"

Jasper ignored Aries as he snarls with Dëm trying to get through to Jasper. Leo frowns as his mark begins glowing along with Luna's.

"He's not responding in his duel," Luna said as she began thinking, "Wait... Akiza told me that we, the specially gifted, can communicate with each other."

"Can you reach him?" Leo asks as Luna nods.

"He is a Signer, carrying the entire Crimson Dragon on his arm," Luna commented as Luna held her hands together, focusing her Spirit power, "Jasper?"

"... Go away... I'm a monster..." Jasper replied.

"He's not replying," Luna said, frowning before a hand touches her shoulder, "Noah?"

"Please..." Noah said as Luna nods with both male and female, focusing their spirits.

"Jasper?" Noah asks as he gets a different response.

"Noah...? What do you want?" Jasper asks as Noah stares at bruised up and cut up Jasper, which was his self-conscious.

"What did Amandaline mean?" Noah asks as Jasper looks down.

"I was mistreated badly by my parents growing up," Jasper said, "Every day, my powers developed in response to the abuse I've taken."

"Jasper..." Noah said, approaching him just as Jasper squatted, looking down.

"I've been called a monster... devil, you name it," Jasper said, "From there, my emotions got out of control, and I almost killed my parents out of spite."

"But you didn't... You're not a monster that Amandaline is claiming you to be," Noah said, squatting next to him, "I thought you were the most incredible, kind-hearted person I've met. With an incredible deck and trust between yourself and them."

Jasper stared at Noah, who wiped his eyes.

"You even showed that with anyone's deck or cards, you can bring out the full power and trust in them as yourself," Noah stated as Jasper's eyes began tearing up.

"That's right," Luna said, appearing next to him, "I'm Luna, Ancient Fairy Dragon's Signer. I'm like you also. I know how it feels to feel like you're alone in this world. But you're not. Your spirits that reside in your deck are your friends and family. That's why Ancient Fairy Dragon wants to help you."

"And you're wrong, you have someone who doesn't think you're a monster..." Noah said as he hugged Jasper tightly with Luna disappearing smiling. Noah would whisper the last bit into Jasper's ear as it sounded silent, but Jasper's eyes widened, feeling the tears fall.

Luna and Noah panted but looked up at the screen as Aries was wide-eyed.

"Jasper?" Aries said as Amandaline frowns, staring.

"You're wrong..." Jasper said, sniffling and wiping his eyes, "YOU'RE WRONG! YOU'RE WRONG! YOU'RE WRONG!!!!"

Jasper's eyes turned a crimson red as Amandaline trembled as did Aries.

"YOU KNOW NOTHING OF MY PAIN! MY SUFFERING! BUT YOU WILL KNOW THIS..." Jasper said as the mark of the Crimson Dragon began glowing harshly, "MY PATH... MY FUTURE!! YOU NOR ANYONE ELSE WILL EVER CONTROL IT!!"

"Awanyu!! Attack Jasper directly!" Amandaline exclaims as her immortal card rushes towards him.

"Trap card open! Barrier of Uncertainty! This prevents battle damage this turn, and I discard a card from my Extra Deck," Jasper said as Aries recognized the Ancient Fairy Dragon card.

"Turn over... but you can't win," Amandaline said, "No matter how much power you have!"

"You can take that statement... AND SHOVE IT!!" Jasper yells as his deck begins glowing with Jasper noticing a card in it glowing brightly, "Amandaline, you claim to know my pain. Let me ask you this? Do you know what my drive is?"

Amandaline tenses up as Jasper frowns.

"That's what I thought, my drive... isn't self-centered unrivaled ego in my power..." Jasper said, "My drive is the people who BELIEVE in my power! My... TURN!!!"

Jasper drew the card as he stared at the Savior Dragon card.

"This is..." Jasper said as he had a shocked look, "Alright... Aries!"

"Go!" Aries yells.

"Activate my Angel's Rune card. This enables Aries to turn into his Archangel form, going from level five to six!" Jasper declares as Aries evolves into his true form, "When I use an angelic spell card, I get to special summon the level one tuner, Angel's Runic Heart from my hand!!"

An orange heart with an Angel's rune on the inside appears.

"Runic Heart's effect: If I discard a monster card by a card's effect, I get to return that card to my hand or Extra Deck," Jasper said, grabbing Ancient Fairy Dragon back, "...Thank you, Luna... I tune my level one Heart to my Level Six Archangel!!!"

Both cards jumped into the air as the heart began beating before turning into a green Synchro ring enveloping Aries. Luna's mark began glowing as Luna held her hands.

"The holy light of protection, now cross and become eternal life!" Jasper and Luna began chanting, "Synchro Summon! A regal birth, Arise, Ancient Fairy Dragon!!!"

The dragon appears roaring as Amandaline is in awe. Jasper smiles at the dragon, who eyed him nodding.

"Let's win this," Jasper said as Ancient Fairy Dragon nodded before roaring, "next up, I activate the trap card known as Fairy Rights, this trap card can only be activated if I have a card with the name Fairy in it. I draw a card, if it's a tuner monster, I can special summon it."

Jasper places his hand on his deck, eyeing it.

"The answer to this duel... lies in the 'trust'," Jasper said before drawing as he smiles, "I special summon the level two tuner, Demonic Baton!"

A black and red candle stick appears with zero attack points.

"And if I special summon Demonic Baton, I can special summon the level one Demon Token," Jasper said as a small demon appears, "I tune my Demonic Baton to my Demon Token."

"Guardian of Darkness, appear in full force and turn this battle around! Scream the Victory Cry!!"

A beam of black energy appears next to Jasper.

"Synchro Summon!! The level three Synchro Tuner, Demon's Core!!" Jasper yells as a ball of demon energy appears.

"DID HE JUST SAY...?!" Leo yells as Luna was wide-eyed.

"My full force... CRYSTAL CLEAR MIND!!" Jasper yells as energy swirled around him, causing his hair to now turn a crystal blue color, "I tune my level three core to my Level 7 Ancient Fairy Dragon!!"

Jasper's duel runner and Ancient Fairy Dragon began earning a blue energy wind tunnel as they began riding/flying faster. Luna's mark began glowing brighter before it turned into a radiant blue color.

"Luna! Your mark!" Leo yells as Luna stares at it before concentrating.

"Everyone, please, help us!" Luna pleads.

"Spirits of the Unknown World, unite into the ultimate Guardian!" Luna and Jasper chanted as their eyes began glowing blue, "Become the Manifestation of Brilliant Hope!!!"

"ACCEL SYNCHRO!!!!" Jasper roars, grabbing a blank white card and flipping it. It was then that he and Ancient Fairy Dragon disappeared.

"Where did he go!?" Amandaline said before twin portals open up in front as a more divine blue and yellow fairy dragon began flying around with two sets of fairy wings and a runic crest on her chest.

"ARISE, RADIANT FAIRY DRAGON!!!" Jasper yells as Luna was in awe and crying.

"That's so cool..." Leo said as Noah was in awe.

"N-no way..." Amandaline said in horror as Jasper and her went around some more sharp turns.

"That's not all... when I have a Dragon Synchro Monster out, I can special summon the level one Light Knight in attack mode!" Jasper said as an angel foot soldier appears, "Now it's the time... I summon the miracle monster, known as Savior Dragon!!"

Jasper slammed the card as Leo and Luna were wide-eyed staring at the familiar dragon. Yusei and the others rushed up to them seeing the monster.

"What's that!?" Jack yells as Akiza and Crow were just as marveled.

"This is the end..." Jasper said closing his eyes before they began glowing, "I tune my Savior Dragon to my Radiant Fairy Dragon and Light Knight."

The red dragon would roar growing in size as Radiant Fairy Dragon roared.

"Under the Radiant guidance of Fairy Light, I empower thou," Jasper began chanting Radiant Fairy Dragon began turning into stars, "Become the Ray of Hope for all eternity!"

Jasper would be enveloped in a red light before Amandaline was wide-eyed.

"ROAR!!! THE FAIRY DRAGON OF HOPE!! SAVIOR RADIANT FAIRY DRAGON!!!" Jasper roars as the new Dragon appears with the signature wing pattern of Savior Dragon but had different colors of energy as well as a fairy pink and gold. With a more majestic roar, Savior Radiant Fairy Dragon hovers in front of Earthbound Immortal - Awanyu as Jasper presses a button.

"Trap Card activate, Fairy Tale Ending: When activated only by a Fairy named card, I get increase their attack points by 600 for every Synchro Monster that was sent to the Graveyard or removed from play!" Jasper said, "I have five! So my Fairy Dragon gets 3000 attack points!."

Savior Radiant Fairy Dragon roars as her wings extended to full length with Fairy energy rushing into her.

"ATTACK AWANYU!!!!" Jasper roars as the dragon was coated in a beam of energy rushing towards the snake, "RADIANT FAIRY RUSH!!!"

Jasper's spirit riding his duel runner could be seen as his monster pierces through the Earthbound Immortal card with Amandaline losing the rest of her life points.

"That's game..." Jasper said as Amandaline began turning to dust once the lines disappeared.

"You're not safe... We'll come after you and that miracle power of yours. The Dark One will rise again," Amandaline declared as Jasper frowns.

"...And I will send him to the underworld all the same," Jasper said, turning his back on Amandaline, "Drop dead, you psychotic witch."

Amandaline was wide-eyed when Jasper said that before turning completely to dust. Jasper sighs wiping the blood off his mouth before picking up the Ancient Aether Gaurdian as Jasper stares at it.

"That's not a good -" Quetzalcoatl began saying.

Jasper channeled his energy into the card removing the Dark Signer energy as he stares at a different card smiling.

"How did you do that?" Jasper hears Jack ask as the signers as well as Yugi and Jaden approached him. Jasper placed the card into a special slot on his belt as he hums.

"It's... complicated," Jasper said as Jack frowns.

"Complicated? You can't use that line with me, I demand to know an answer!" Jack yells as Jasper frowns, shaking his head.

"In due time," Jasper said, sighing as he walked by them with Yusei's mark glowing mysteriously.

"What's up with your mark, Yusei?" Leo asks as Yusei stares at it before eyeing Jasper. Yusei's eyes widen, noticing the dark Signer energy coming off him.

"That's not possible..." Yusei thought.
