“We won’t let you down!!” they all said before making their way to Vipers lab. Once there they were all separated one by one. Alice and Jesse tried their best to stay close to one another but soon found themselves separated. Alice was focused to duel the creepy professor Stein who she strongly believed was a pedo after him ranting about how her sister was his shining light. Not going to lie. After he lost the duel and Viper through him down that pit, Alice actually felt glad. There was a special place in the shadow realm for those pedos that dare to covet her sister.
Jesse met with a man from her past that hurt someone dear to her. She couldn’t forgive him for what he had done and easily defeated him. As his punishment, he was forced to face the wrath of all the spirits that he had harmed in the past. It was a punishment most dissevered.
Despite their victories in their duels, they had been drained of a considerable amount of energy. Eventually, Alexis, Axel, and the others met up with them and helped them make their way over to Vipers lab. Though once they got there they were all shocked to see that Viper was waiting for them, though he was different now. A grotesque demon arm was in place of Viper's left arm, and what was even odder was that Alice felt something when she saw it. She felt connected to it for some reason that she could not explain.
“Finally, you’ve arrived,” Viper said, separating Alice from the others. “Alice you are the one that will help me accomplish my goal and your demise!
“Enough talk Viper!” Alice yelled, getting her duel disk ready. “Get your game one!”
“Oh I will most definitely get my game on~,” Viper said, mocking Alice’s catchphrase.
The duel began in Alice’s favor, and it continued to look that way for the first several turns, but it was long before he started to reveal the true power of his Venom Deck. Alice gradually begins to be pushed into a corner as Viper systematically destroyed her monsters one by one.
“Really is this the best you can do? I was hoping far more from you, Alice.” Viper mocked her. “Your friends won’t be able to survive for long if you continue dueling like this~.
“Alice!!!” Looking over Alice saw that all of her friends and her sister were now surrounded by poison.
“Let them go Viper!” Alice yelled at him, furious that he would take such cowardly actions.
“If you want to save your friends then duel me with everything you got!” Viper yelled at her. “The more you put into this duel the more I get out of it!”
“Why are you doing this!? Alice couldn’t understand the reason why he was hurting so many people. It didn’t make sense.
“Why? That truly is the right question to ask now isn’t it?” Viper said, grinning at her. “All my life I have done nothing but hurt others. As a soldier, I did what I was told without question. That was until the day my son came into my life. I had something to protect, someone that I could love without worry. But that was before he got sick. I tried everything to help him, but nothing worked.”
“When we played duel monsters together, he was at least happy. I wanted to keep him happy, so I went to buy him more cards, but when I got back he had perished. After that, I threw myself into my work as a soldier facing danger after danger without care. It was long after that I meet her. She offered to bring him back. She offered to bring my son back. So what if I had to drain the energy from some students? Can’t you see that I’m doing this for a greater purpose!”
“So what!” Alice yelled furious that he would justify all of this pain and suffering for nothing more than his own desires. “I understand that you are in pain, but your son would have never wanted this!”
“Shut up! You will never know what my son wants!” Viper was far beyond reasoning with now. There was no longer any point in continuing this conversation. It was time to finish this!
Alice managed to turn the tables on Viper to his surprise, summoning her Doll-Joint Hero Burning Magical Girl!
“No, how could I lose?” Viper said failing to his knees.
“It’s over Viper. Now free everyone from these Bio-bands. “Alice was victorious, yet she couldn’t feel at ease yet. That demonic arm of Viper’s reminded her of something that she had long since thought list.
RUMBLE!
The ground began to shake beneath them as a giant white pillar emanated from the center of Vipers lab.
“So Viper failed,” the glowing entity said, activating the switch to release the excess duel energy she didn’t absorb. “No matter Alice can’t avoid me for long. I can’t wait for us to play together again~. It’ll be just like old times… no, it’ll be better~.”
RUMBLE!
“Alice! Where are you!?” Alexis yelled searching for Alice after waking up in what seemed to be the middle of a desert, with the entirety of Duel Academy as well.
