=============
Jaden POV
"Well? Are you gonna stand there and just stare at me all day?" Atticus sneered. "Or are you going to duel me and try and win poor helpless Atticus back?"
I growled, trying so hard to keep my anger and fear under control. I activated my duel disk, which flared to life, before I turned to face Alexis and the others. "Stay back. Make sure Crowler is okay."
"But Jaden..." Alexis said, with tears in her eyes as she took in the appearance of her long lost brother. "That's Atticus. He's back. I can't stay back from this, you know I can't."
"Alexis, this isn't the brother you know," I told her firmly, glaring back at Atticus, as he smirked. "He's under the control of Nightshroud, a very dangerous entity who believes in the complete darkness of the world. I fought this guy several times before, even when he was controlling Atticus. The only way I can be able break through to him is to duel him. And hopefully I can be able to break Nightshrouds hold on him."
"But what if that doesn't work?" Alexis demanded. "You could seriously hurt him."
I was about to say something, but Nightshroud began laughing darkly.
"Oh, dear Alexis," he said. "You brother isn't the one in control. I am. How can he be able to feel pain, when I'm the one in control of his body and mind? Everyone who has been in the World of Darkness won't feel anymore pain. But that won't mean that you won't get your brother back. I'm in complete control of him now."
He turned his gaze towards me. "And this time, you won't bring him back, Jaden Yuki. You ruined my plans before, and you will SUFFER for it!" He activated his duel disk, and placed his deck into the slot.
"Jaden," Alexis said, getting my attention. "Please, bring him back."
I smiled confidently, before turning to face Nightshroud again. "Get ready to get your game on, Nightshroud! Because this time, I'm gonna make you regret ever messing with my friends, and the whole world!"

Alexis POV
"GAME ON!"
As soon as they both said that, a strong gust of wind enveloped the arena, making me step back slightly as it got too powerful. These two emitted strong powerful auras that it shocked me. On one side was a being who was all about destruction, while the other was all about humanity and well-being.
"What did Atticus mean by Jaden ruining his plans before?" Syrus asked, while he still tended to Crowler, who was now unconscious.
I looked at Jaden, who was looking at the cards in his hand. I didn't want to expose him as someone from the future, but I thought that Chazz and Syrus at least deserved to know.
"He's from the future," I told Syrus.
"He's WHAT?!" Chazz exclaimed in shock.
I quickly told them what Jaden told me. When I was finished telling them, they leaned back in shock at the revelation.
"That explains why he thought I would do well at the Academy," Syrus mused. "He knew me from his time!"
