Isaac was now on a plane as it soared through the clouds. He told Juniper and Twilight of his plan as they trusted him. During that time, Isaac would be off doing his "special training", Juniper said that she would handle any concerns or commitments that people wanted him to do. And after stopping by and spending some time with his fiancé, Isaac was now on a trip. A trip back to where his whole Duel Monsters career started.
While he was on the flight, Isaac had his cards laid out on the table in front of him as he was going over his comrades and talking with them since it had been a while. Soon all the spirits of all of his Magician Girl cards appeared.
"Isaac," said Berry Magician Girl as the tiny baby hugged her master's face as she sat on the boy's shoulder.
"Hey, Berry."
"So good to see you, Isaac," said Apple, Lemon, and Chocolate as they snuggled their master squishing him between their bosoms.
"Girls, let me breath a bit," said Isaac.
"Nice to see that you're doing well," said Kiwi.
"It hasn't been easy since I became World Champ."
"But you at least made the effort to talk us," said Mana as she pushed the others away and hugged Isaac with all her strength. She made sure to show her place by pulling Isaac close to her chest.
"Mana!" said Isaac.
"Alright, fine." said the girl as she let her master's head out of her bosom.
"Now then, girls settle down," instructed Isaac as they all sat down in the air looking at their master. Seems with the slight growing up, he was now cuter than ever for the girls as they couldn't stop staring at the boy.
"Now, then. You've probably heard me say this with Juniper, but right now I'm doing some special training."
"What special training?" asked Berry as she was on his shoulder sucking her pacifier.
"Something that I believe will help me get my mind in the zone," said Isaac to the baby as he tickled her tummy.
"So, mind telling us what it is?" asked Apple.
"Now girls. Magicians don't reveal secrets. Besides, I have to make a quick stop." said Isaac as he looked out of the window as did all the girls as they were high above the clouds.
The view now changed as the clouds disappeared and a town was shown. Down below were tiny buildings as Isaac had a smile on his face. He was looking forward to seeing Canterlot as he was glad to be back in the place where it all began. The plane was now descending as all the girls needed to return, but not before each one gave a kiss and hug to the boy as he returned the hug from each one giving smiles to all the girls.
The plane landed on the runway. Isaac now exited the plane with his backpack as it was the only thing he brought with him. He now exited the airport as he grabbed a taxi, and told him where he was headed. It was about 9 in the morning when Isaac landed as he had a certain stop to make. It didn't take long as about 35 minutes later, he was now in front of the place as he stepped out of the taxi and paid the driver.
The boy now looked at the place in front of him as it had vastly improved since he last saw it. Canterlot High had undergone some massive renovations since he last graduated. With all the money that the Board of Education and he gave, the entire school was remodeled and expanded as it was now a high school that looked like a university. One massive change is that the school had an indoor arena filled with seats that duels could occur. The back of the school now bought more land so that a portion of it was changed into practice grounds for anybody to use at any time. Another thing is that inside the school, there was a card shop that was built so that students and staff could buy cards for their decks.
The card shop was in partnership with Mr. Johnson as Isaac still owned half of the store and their connection, allowed the business to boom on both ends. However, the biggest thing was that Duel Monsters had now been incorporated into the curriculum as students could learn not only the basics of dueling but could master each summoning method. Fusion, Synchro, Xyz, and Pendulum were all taught at the school as the school hired more teachers and tutors to help teach the subject. Usually, students would enroll in which one they wanted and could change to another at any time should they choose to. Now there were a few that wanted to learn 2, but that was as far as it went. Since trying to do more than 2, let alone all of them was a bit of a hassle. But regardless, every single student was given a chance to learn, regardless of whether they had cards or not.
"Good to see the place," said Isaac as he took a deep breath and slung his backpack over his right shoulder. He now began to walk as he passed by the statue. He put his hand on the reflective surface as it rippled when his hand touched it. "Seems the mirror still works after all this time." smiled the boy.
Isaac now entered the building. He saw that classes were going on which was what he expected. Cause right now he didn't want to be swarmed by the students as he had some business to do. He began walking as he passed the trophy cabinet as it showed off CHS achievements in the recent year and a half since it underwent a remodel. He noticed one certain award as it read: "Best Duelist in CHS history: Isaac."
"Cute." said the boy.
He was now walking as he passed by a hallway that had some pictures hanging from the wall as some of them were from his adventures from the past years as it served as a good reminder down memory lane. He got to the graduating photos as he saw certain people that brought a smile to his face, especially when he saw his picture as well as his deck info under his photo.
Isaac now continued walking as he turned a few more corners as he arrived at his destination. He was now standing in front of a door as he was wondering whether or not he should knock. He heard some voices going on as it was muffled, but he knew who they belonged to as he just opened the door and let himself in.
"And I told you, Lulu! We are not having a video game theme for the party!" shouted Principal Celestia to her younger sister for wanting to spend the school budget on having the party being video game-themed.
"Well, you're not coming up with any ideas, Tia! All you can think about is which cake should be present for the school. No wonder your ass is fat, not to mention your hips." responded the younger sister to her older sibling.
"Don't talk about my figure, Lulu!" said Celestia as both sisters glared at each other.
"The more things change, the more they stay the same," said Isaac.
"Yes, they do! Hi, Isaac!" said both girls not knowing it was him who was present. "Now as I was saying sister... huh..." Both girls now turned their heads back again towards the door as they took a good look. Standing there was none other than one of their former students, but more importantly, they knew he recently became the World Champion a few months ago.
"Isaac..." said Celestia getting up from her seat.
"... It's really you," said Luna as she too approached the boy.
Both girls were amazed by how much their student had grown in the last year or so. However, he was still the same teen that he was when he was a student. Both Celestia and Luna immediately hugged the boy as it brought a smile to their faces and tears rolling down their eyes.
"It's so good to see you again." said both girls while hugging the boy.
"It's good to see you two," responded Isaac.
"My... you've grown," said Celestia to the boy.
"I'm still the same person, Principal Celestia."
"You know that you're not a student here anymore. So no need to be formal with us." smiled the older girl.
"Force of habit." smiled Isaac. "So, how have things been? Still enjoying your retirement?"
"You have to keep bringing it up?" smiled Celestia with a smug expression. "But yes, we're enjoying ourselves. And we're grateful that we both had our final duels with you."
"With your money, we got the school of our dreams," stated Luna.
"Glad I could help."
"But what are you doing here, Isaac? Not that we're not grateful for you being here. But don't you have a schedule to keep?"
"I do, Celestia. As well as a championship duel coming up, but I guess you can say that I'm doing some special training before my match. And to be honest, I wanted to see my old stomping grounds. Care to show me around?" asked Isaac to which the girls smiled.
The two sisters now walked with the boy as they told Isaac of all the things that happened after he graduated. They stopped to look in at some of the classrooms teaching Duel Monsters as Isaac saw how each person was invested in the game. He looked at the girls as they nodded as he entered inside and he made his presence known. So Isaac did a bit of guest work like teaching the classes and showing off his cards for all to see. He even signed a few autographs for the students. With that, he continued his tour with the two women as the three began to hear how their student had been since graduating and his busy life since becoming World Champion.
The trio was now passing by the dueling arena inside of the school as they overheard something.
"Are you serious Shadow?" asked Jack.
"I've never been more serious, bud." said the boy to his friend.
"He's still pissed off that he lost the duel or else he'd be standing here as the champ of CHS," said Penny.
"I came very close. But it's just a minor setback. Trust me, next time it'll be different," said Shadow to the cool girl.
"How is he gonna make sure that he wins next time?" asked Jack to Penny.
"He put out an open challenge to the whole school. To anybody who wants to face him. I'll admit, it ain't stupid." said Penny.
"Is it like this when you guys, go out?" asked Jack.
"Yeah, well we've only been on a few dates. Plus, he thinks that his Raidraptors are better than my Blackwings. Guess he forgot who eliminated him during our freshman year during that tournament." stated the girl as she looked at Shadow.
"I'm being fair, cause I'm allowing someone an opportunity to step up. Give them a chance to face someone as good as me. Plus, my Raidraptors are way better than your Blackwings, Penny. Just like boys are better than girls."
"You wanna settle this again? Cause I beat you in your favorite video game last time," said Penny with a sly smile to Shadow.
"Whatever, that doesn't count! Plus I was distracted."
"Were you distracted by Penny's beauty or the fact that she was whipping your ass?" taunted Jack.
"No one asked you, Jack!" replied Shadow as his own bro siding with the girl who he went out with for a few dates.
"Open challenge, hmm," said Isaac looking at Celestia and Luna as they overheard this and all nodded at Isaac's idea.
"Whoever walks through that door, I'm not only dueling, but I'm gonna smash them!" stated Shadow pointed at the twin doors.
The twin doors then flew open as some air blew. The three teens all covered up as Penny's skirt was fluttering in the air. Soon the breeze died down as they all looked at what made the wind blow as it got them to gasp.
"Open challenge, huh? Challenge accepted, bitch." said Isaac standing there with Celestia and Luna behind him.
"Uh..." was all Shadow could say as he was both scared and glad to see none other than his former headmaster standing before him.
"You said, anybody in the school. You didn't specify that they had to be a student, just present on school grounds," said Isaac slyly as he got on the arena and pulled out his deck from his belt and slotted it into his duel disk as it projected a gold card tray. "Well, Shadow."
"Uh, right." chuckled Shadow nervously as he got on the field with the World Champion as he slotted in his deck and his duel disk projected a dark blue card try.
"Opponent detected. Streaming data. Duel mode set. Initiating. Commencing duel." said their duel disks.
Shadow's Life Points: 8000-
Isaac's Life Points: 8000-
Turn 1: Shadow
"I'll let you go first," said Isaac with a calm tone in his voice.
"R-Right," said Shadow as he drew his card, "To start, I'll summon my Raidraptor - Napalm Dragonius(1000/1000). Then since I control a 'Raidraptor', I can also summon my Raidraptor Fuzzy Lanius(500/1500) to join my arsenal of birds. Next, I'll activate my Napalm Dragonius' special ability, once per turn, I can deal you 600 points of damage." said the boy as his monster opened its mouth to fire a shot at Isaac who just simply moved to the side as the attack missed.
Isaac's Life Points: 7400-
"That all?" taunted Isaac.
"Not even close, I overlay both my Level 4 monsters to build the Overlay Network!" Shadow's two monsters then transformed into orbs of light as they hovered in the air for a bit as a portal opened up in front of him. Soon both lights entered the portal as a pillar of light emerged. "I Xyz Summon, Raider's Knight(2000/0, OLU: 2)!" Out emerged a horseman who was dressed all in black from head to toe as well as the horse it rode on. It wielded a lance as it had flames surrounding it.
"I now end my turn with a facedown."
Turn 2: Isaac
"My draw!" said Isaac as he drew his card. "I'll start by playing the spell card, Dark Magical Circle. So now I can look at the top three cards of my deck and reveal 'Dark Magician' or a 'Dark Magician' related spell or trap card." Isaac's duel disk then ejected his choices as he looked at them and knew which one to choose. "I choose to reveal the ultimate wizard himself, Dark Magician. Next, I'm gonna play this Dark Magic Veil so by paying 1000 life points, I can special summon my Dark Magician from my hand!" said Isaac as his partner now appeared on the field.
Isaac's Life Points: 6400-
"Now, my Dark Magical Circle's effect activates which means since I summoned my Dark Magician, I can banish one card on the field, so I choose your Raider's Knight!" said Isaac as his spell removed Shadow's monster from the game with ease. "Then I'll play Bond Between Teacher and Student, so now I can also summon my Dark Magician Girl!" Isaac's star female magician now made her presence known as arrived and gave a small wink to Shadow but planted a kiss for the most important boy in her life and that being Isaac.
"Now my spell lets me set my Dark Magic Twin Burst, but before I activate it, I'll play Graceful Charity so that I can draw three cards and discard two. Next up is this spell card, Soul Servant. So now I take one of the cards that I sent to my graveyard that list 'Dark Magician' or 'Dark Magician Girl' in its text and put it on top of my deck. So I'll take back my Dark Magic Expanded." said Isaac as his card slid out for him to grab as he put it on top. "Then I'll activate the second effect of my Soul Servant, so by banishing it, I can now draw cards equal to the number of 'Dark Magician', 'Dark Magician Girl', or 'Palladium Oracle' monsters that I have on my field and in my graveyard. So since I currently have two, I draw two cards. With that, I'll now play Magic Formula to give my Dark Magician an extra 700 attack points. But that's not all, I'll also play Dark Magic Expanded to give my Dark Magician Girl an extra 1000 attack points."
Isaac now had both of his monsters power up. "Finally, I'll activate my Dark Magic Twin Burst to raise the attack points of my Dark Magician by Dark Magician Girl, so now my Dark Magician has 6200 attack points."
"UH-OH!" said Shadow as he saw what was in front of him.
"Go, my magicians, Double Dark Magic Attack!" commanded Isaac as both of his monsters put their staffs together as they created a huge ball of energy as they fired the spell and hit Shadow square in the chest as he was thrown onto his back.
Shadow's Life Points: 0-
Winner: Isaac (OTK)
"Oh shit!" said Penny and Jack as they saw their friend get beat by their former headmaster now World Champion in one move.
"Penny, wanna go?" asked Isaac to which the girl just got on the field. She put on her duel disk and slid her deck in as it projected a black card tray.
"Opponent detected. Streaming data. Duel mode set. Initiating. Commencing duel." said their duel disks.
Isaac's Life Points: 8000-
Penny's Life Points: 8000-
Turn 1: Penny
"Good to see you're still just as tough, Teach," said Penny as she drew her card. "But don't forget who was the runner-up in the tournament. Since I control no cards, I can special summon Blackwing - Gust the Backblast(900/1400). And since birds of a feather, like to flock together, I can also summon my Blackwing - Kris the Crack of Dawn(1900/300). But that's not all, cause I can also summon my Blackwing - Oroshi the Squall(400/600) to join my flock!" Penny now had three monsters on her field.
"Now, I'll tune my Oroshi the Squall with my Kris the Crack and Gust the Backblast!" Penny's tuner monster then flew high into the air as it turned into a single green giant ring that circled her two other birds. "And by way of their cosmic bonds, I can form an even mightier beast! I Synchro Summon! Spread your wings, Assault Blackwing - Raikiri the Rain Shower(2600/2000)!" Penny's monster emerged as it resembled a cross between a man and a raven, covered in bits of purple armor, a headpiece shaped like the head of a bird, a pair of bird feet feathered wings sprouting from his back, and a tunic covering his lower half. He drew his sword and released a war cry that sounded like a man yelling mixed with a raven's caw.
"Still as I remember," said Isaac to Penny with her Blackwings and Synchro Summoning.
"Now, I'll summon my Blackwing - Blizzard the Far North(1300/0). And when I normal summon my Blizzard, I can also bring back a Level 4 or lower 'Blackwing' monster from my graveyard." Penny's monster then landed on her duel disk and pecked at her graveyard as it then grabbed a card in its beak and it landed on its mistress' shoulder giving her the card.
"Thanks, bud." said the girl petting her bird. "I'll bring back my Gust the Backblast. Then I'll tune my Blizzard the Far North with my Gust the Backblast!" Blizzard the Far North then flew from Penny's shoulder as it turn into four giant green rings that circled her other monster as it flew in between them. "I Synchro Summon, Blackwing Armed Wing(2300/1000)!" Penny now had another Synchro monster on her field.
Turn 2: Isaac
"Well now, my draw! I'll start by summoning my own tuner monster, you remember my Enchantress of Melody(900/1800)!" Isaac played his magician as a beautiful young girl with crimson-colored eyes, a determined and gentle look, and mid-length dark brown hair tied into two twin-tails to a ribbon that laid on her shoulders. She wore black robes and a cloak, she wielded a silver staff and kept a short sword sheathed around her waist. Underneath the cloak, she wore a low-cut blouse, ultra-short pink miniskirts, and wore burgundy boots that stopped before her knee caps She also wore some leggings that stopped halfway to her thighs as she still showed off her fair smooth skin.
"Then I'll play Pot of Greed to draw two cards. Then activate Dark Magical Circle! So now I can look at the top three cards of my deck and then I can reveal a 'Dark Magician' related spell or trap card or the monster itself and add it to my hand and put the other cards back in any order I choose." Isaac's duel disk then showed his options as he made his choice as it slid out for him to grab as he used his screen to rearrange the order of his other cards.
"I reveal Dark Magic Expanded. Next, I'll play Strength in Unity. Then I'll play Advanced Ritual Art, so now I can ritual summon a monster by sending normal-type monsters from my deck so I send my Dark Magician so that I can ritual summon Magician of Chaos(2500/2100)!" Isaac's monster then entered a black portal as a pillar of light emerged and soon his other monster emerged on the field.
"Now my Dark Magical Circle's second effect activates when I summon Dark Magician, I can banish one card you control and my Magician of Chaos becomes 'Dark Magician' when it's on the field or in my graveyard. But that's not all my Strength in Unity now activates, since I ritual summoned using Dark Magician, I can now banish a second card you control. So I'm banishing both of your monsters!"
"WHAT?!!!" yelled out Penny as she saw her monsters disappear before her eyes.
"Next, I'll play Monster Reborn so that I can bring back my Dark Magician. Then activate my Enchantress of Melody's effect, so now I can roll a die and whatever number it lands on I can either increase or decrease a monster's level on my field by that amount." Isaac now had a die appear in his hand as his magician put her hand over his.
"Ready, Melody?"
"I've missed this." said the girl planting a kiss on the boy's cheek.
"Dice Roll!!" shouted both of them as they tossed the die into the air as it spun and soon rolled around on the ground as it landed on a number. "Now I'll decrease my Melody's level from 3 to 2. And with that, I'll now tune my Enchantress of Melody with my Dark Magician. And when I use Dark Magician as synchro material, he counts as Level 6 instead of 7. So now I tune my monsters together!" shouted Isaac as his female magician played her lyra and transformed into two giant green rings as they circled his other magician. "I Synchro Summon, Dark Sorcerer Magician(2500/2100)!" Isaac now had his synchro monster as out came a spellcaster that had white hair and had garments that were dressed in an indigo/purple color scheme. It wielded a staff and was surrounded by bits of stardust and magical symbols.
"I now play the second to last card in my hand, Dedication through Light and Darkness, so I'll tribute my Magician of Chaos so that I can summon my Dark Magician of Chaos(2800/2600). And when my Dark Magician of Chaos is summoned, I can then add a spell card to my hand, so I choose my Monster Reborn, but I'll play it so that I can bring back my Magician of Chaos," said Isaac as he now had three monsters on his field.
"I now play the final card in my hand, Dark Magic Expanded. Now I can give a Dark spellcaster on my field an extra 1000 attack points this turn, so I choose my Magician of Chaos," said Isaac as his monster now had 3500 attack points. "So now my magicians, combine your attacks and take out Penny's life points!!" commanded the boy as his three monsters all put their staffs together as they created a huge beam of magical energy as it shot towards Penny as she took a hard hit as it caused her to hit the ground.

"I'm starting to remember," said Jack as he recalled the first time he and the other six of them tried to challenge their former headmaster during his final year of high school and how he wiped the floor with all of them.
"Come on, Jack." taunted Isaac with a 'come-on' gesture.
"I'm gonna regret this." groaned Jack as he put on his duel disk and slid in his deck as it projected a dark purple card tray.
"Opponent detected. Streaming data. Duel mode set. Initiating. Commencing duel." said their duel disks.

Turn 1: Jack
"My draw and I'll play the spell card, Ring Announcer. This allows me to special summon a 'Battlin' Boxer' from my hand, so I choose my Battlin' Boxer Switchitter(1500/1400). Then I'll play my Battlin' Boxer Headgeared(1000/1800). And when I summon my Headgeared, I can send a 'Battlin' Boxer' monster from my deck to the graveyard. So I'll send my Battlin' Boxer Big Bandage." said Jack as his duel disk slotted out his card for him to grab as he grabbed it and sent it to the graveyard. "Then I'll play the spell Battlin' Boxer Spirits, so I send the top card of my deck to the graveyard and then I can summon a 'Battlin' Boxer' monster from my graveyard, so my Battlin' Boxer Big Bandage(1100/1400) is now on the field."
Jack now had the monster he sent away using his Headgeared's effect. "Now I'll activate the effect of my Big Bandage, so I banish my Battlin' Boxer Glassjaw, so now all my 'Battlin' Boxer' monsters on my field become its level. So now all three of my monsters are Level 4." said Jack. "With that done, I now overlay my Level 4 Battlin' Boxer Bandage and Headgeared to build the Overlay Network!" Jack's monsters then transformed into orbs of light as they hovered in the air for a bit as a portal opened up in front of him. Both orbs then entered the portal as a pillar of light emerged. "I Xyz Summon, Battlin' Boxer Lead Yoke(2200/2000, OLU: 2)!" Jack's monster now emerged as it had its arms and hands in chains.
"But I'm far from done, cause my Battlin' Boxer Switchitter counts as 2 monsters when I Xyz summon." said the boy as his monster split and then changed into orbs of light as they hovered in the air as another portal opened up. "I Xyz Summon, Number 79: Battlin' Boxer Nova Kaiser(2300/1600, OLU: 1)!" Out emerged another fighter as it wore colorful armor with red and yellow outlines as the number glowed on its body. It then clapped its knuckles together as it landed on the field with a thud as it unfurled its outerwear.
"But why stop at two, when I'm gonna do a third one. I play the spell card, Rank-Up-Magic- The Seventh One!" shouted the boy as his card lit up. "So now I can target 1 'Number 10X' monster in my Extra Deck and summon it with its effects negated, so I choose my Battlin' Boxer Star Cestus!" Jack's monster then appeared as it let out a cry as it took its position next to the young boy. "Then my spell lets me use my monster and Xyz Summon 1 'C' Xyz monster that's one rank higher! Go Chaos Xyz Evolution!" shouted Jack as his monster turned into an orb of light as it hovered in the air for a bit as a portal opened up in front of him. Soon that orb of light entered the portal as a pillar of light emerged. For Isaac watching this, he had a smile on his face as he saw Jack do an advanced move and pull it off successfully. "Appear, Chaos Number 105: Battlin' Boxer Comet Cestus(2800/2000, OLU: 1)!" Jack's new monster was a chaos number monster as it stood in a dominating pose as it had four wings attached to it.
In front of Isaac were three powerful Xyz monsters as they stood over Jack. Isaac was smiling at how much the boy's skills had grown since he last saw him. But... so did his.
Turn 2: Isaac
"My draw, first up, I'm gonna use these two cards Scale 2 Sleight of Hand Magician and Scale 8 Mirage Magician to set the Pendulum Scale!" said Isaac as he placed his two cards on the far end of his duel disk as the word 'Pendulum' in rainbow coloring spelled out in between them to signal that it worked. Isaac's two monsters then appeared in columns of light with their respective numbers in front of them.
"I'm allowed to summon monsters, from Levels 3 through 7 all at the same time. Back and forth, to and fro, what's coming next? You'll all soon know! So swing far pendulum and carve the arc that will lead me to victory! My monsters are ready to swing into action!" shouted the boy as he thrust his arm upwards as a portal opened up and three lights came out. "She's rather tasty, it's my Apple Magician Girl(1200/1000). She may be a bit sour, but she's got a cute personality, it's my Lemon Magician Girl(800/600). And lastly, give a warm welcome to the star monster of our show, it's my Dark Magician!"
Just like Jack, Isaac now had three of his monsters on the field. Mahad now stood on the field with his master, as Isaac's magician girls all took one side of him as they snuggled the boy.
"Now, I'll activate the pendulum ability of my Sleight of Hand Magician. Twice per turn, he can change the level of a monster on my field to match that of another. So I'll change both of my magician girls' level so that they become the same as my Dark Magician." said Isaac as his monster pulled out his deck of cards and flashed the number seven as magic particles landed above the girls who were still hugging Isaac.
"Girls, you're gonna need to let me go if we're gonna win," said Isaac.
"Alright, Isaac." said the two sisters.
Isaac smiled as they both planted a kiss on his cheeks as they stood next to their mentor as Mahad nodded at his master. "I now overlay all three of my Level 7 monsters!" shouted the boy as his monsters turned into orbs of light as they hovered in the air for a bit as a portal opened up in front of him. The lights then entered the portal as a pillar of light emerged. "I Xyz Summon, Chaos Mageía(3000/2500, OLU: 3)!" Out emerged from the portal a brand new monster. It was a sorceress who had long flowing red hair with vanilla skin tone. She wore an emerald necklace and had white gloves that covered her smooth hands. Her outfit consisted of a light blue dress that stopped at her knees; she wore black heels that weren't too high, as well as earrings that matched her necklace. She did a quick twirl for all to see as bits of magical particles surrounded her and it made her look even more beautiful.
"Since I used 'Dark Magician' to Xyz summon her, my Chaos Mageía can negate your monsters' effects," said Isaac as his magician waved her wand and rendered Jack's monsters all powerless. "And then I activate her special ability, by using one overlay unit, she removes all other Xyz materials from other Xyz monsters. And for each one removed, she gains 500 attack points and an additional attack. So I'm removing 4 overlay units meaning she gains 2000 more attack points and can attack 5 times."
"Shit!" said Jack as he realized what this meant.
Chaos Mageía winked at Jack as her wand transformed into a bow as she prepared to hunt down her target. She reached into her quiver and pulled out an arrow made up of light as she put it in the strings and pulled back. She didn't even bother closing her left eye as her aim was precise.
"Divinity Arrow!" shouted Isaac and the girl as she released the shot.
The arrow now traveled super fast as it was enveloped in a golden light and it split into five separate arrows. Each one of Jack's monsters was taken out by a single one as the remaining two headed towards the boy as they landed in front of him and he was knocked back by the impact and joined his pals on the floor.
Jack's Life Points: 0-

"WOO!!!!!" shouted Isaac. "Hell yeah! Oh, it feels good to be back, baby. Man, have I missed this feeling. I've missed dueling for you guys." said the boy to the fourth wall. "It feels good."
Isaac was filled with energy at the feeling he was going through. Celestia and Luna saw how fired up the boy was acting, as it brought a smile to their faces as Isaac fist pumped. Jack, Penny, and Shadow now all sat up as they looked at each other for a second before looking ahead to see their former headmaster.
"He can still kick our asses." said all three in unison.
"Damn straight, I can. Six ways to Sunday and all over god's green earth." said Isaac. He knew this trip was a good idea as he was being reminded of some memories when he was a student. He helped the teens to their feet as they all dusted themselves off.
"Anyways, good to see you guys."
"Nice to see you again, Teach," stated Penny.
"So, how have things been since me and the girls left?" asked Isaac.
"Well, as you can see. The whole school underwent some major renovations. Your program got off the ground and is a huge success." answered Jack.
"Well, it's wasn't just me. You seven actually helped to make it a reality. So you all have just as much credit as I do." said Isaac. "So, how do you guys like it?"
"It ain't bad. Seeing as how we've noticed the difference from the old way to the newer way. Almost everybody is enrolled in a summoning method they want to learn. Jack, Jason, and I are in the Xyz program, Bryant is in the Pendulum courses. Amber is in the fusion section, though she wants to at least be informed about all four, her main interest is still fusion summoning. Penny naturally went with Synchro, and Lucky Star is doing both Xyz and Synchro given her deck. Though, she does give some lessons for Bryant since he noticed a few cards that could add to his deck's firepower but didn't want to study it fully. So she just teaches him the basic lessons. Same with Jason, he mostly is in the Xyz program with us, but Amber tutors the big guy with the basics of fusion for his deck."
"Well, now. Seems you all have some nice courses," said Isaac to Shadow.
"And that ain't all, Bryant and Lucky Star are now an item. Seems her baking skills and his cooking skills gave the two an interest in each other," said Jack.
"How about that," said Isaac as he smiled.
"They ain't the only one, old Shadow here is trying his hardest with Penny."
"Yeah, right," responded Shadow to his buddy.
"You seem to be forgetting, Shadow. Weren't you moping around when you got rejected by your crush, hmm?" said Penny looking at the boy who turned away in embarrassment. "Birdboy cried for nearly a week, all of us tried to cheer him up, but he wouldn't even leave his house. Wasn't till I had to play rebound that he stopped thinking about his heartbreak." snickered the cool girl with a sly smile.
"Well, glad to see things are still going strong here," said Isaac.
"So, why are you here? Other than to remind us of what happened when we tried to take you on at once," said Jack.
"Well, I got a match coming up in a few weeks. And I wanted to do some 'special training', as a way to prepare for my duel. But I also wanted to see how things have been since I last stepped foot here. And to be honest, I'm glad I did." said Isaac to the students and the principals.
"Well, I'm sorry to cut this short. But I need to get going," said Isaac as he grabbed his backpack and slung it over his shoulder as he prepared to leave. "Say hi to everyone for me, will ya?"
"You got!" said the three students.
"Jack, Penny, Shadow, Celestia, and Luna. It was nice to see you all again. Don't forget to watch my duel in a few weeks." said Isaac as he waved goodbye to the individuals as they all waved back.
"Good luck, Isaac!" said all of them in unison as the boy left through the doors.
"Good to see the place." Isaac was now outside as he took one last look at the school. "Now then, before I head to where I need to be, I got some pit stops to make." Isaac then began to walk down the sidewalk.
A woman was currently in the front yard as she was watering some flowers. She soon heard the sound of the front gate opening and closing as she turned around. She almost dropped the watering can that was in her hands as she took in what was in front of her.
"Mami."
"I-Isaac."
The young man just smiled as he saw his mother in front of him.
"Isaac!" said his mother as she went to hug her son as both embraced one another.
"I've missed you."
"I've missed you too, Mami." said the boy to the woman that gave birth to him.
"It's been so long, my, you've grown. And look how handsome you are," said Isaac's mother as she looked at her son's face and touched his cheek. "I thought I told you, to call me ahead when you were gonna visit."
"Well, I'm not totally visiting, Mami. I'm here for another reason, but I'd figured I'd stop by and see you guys. Being World Champ, it's tough. Especially when I think about you guys every day."
"I'm proud that you are living your dream, mijo. I tell everybody that you came out of here," said Isaac's mother to her body. "This is the road to success."
"Good one, Mami." chuckled Isaac at his mother's joke.
The pair entered inside as Isaac couldn't stay too long as he had other business to attend to. However, he was able to sit down and talk with his mother about how he'd been doing. He told his mother about his busy schedule and how it was grueling work, but he was able to handle it. Not to mention all the people that showed their appreciation and love for all the boy did. His mother was glad that her son was doing well and taking care of himself. She was also grateful that Juniper was doing her job of looking after her son.
Isaac did pull some things from his backpack as he brought some gifts for his mother and father as he was looking to drop them off while he was here. He gave them to his mother as well as some extra cash for them to pay some bills and for anything they wanted to buy. Isaac's mother told her son that he didn't have to always send his own hard-earned money to them, but Isaac just said it was his way to pay back them for raising him. About an hour passed as Isaac needed to leave, though his mother decided to at least make lunch for them before her son left. She also did her motherly habits by fixing her son's appearance to her liking as Isaac put it back to the way it was.
Once he said goodbye to his mother and thanked her for lunch, Isaac had one final pitstop that he needed to make.
"Vroom. Vroom. Chug-chug-chug." said a small Flurry Heart as she was playing with her train plushy.
She was on her hands and knees as on the couch were Spike and Tigre as the two pets were lazing about and taking a nap. In the kitchen, Cadance was washing some potatoes as she was prepping for dinner. Soon came the sound of the door as she put the vegetable down and went to answer it. She opened the door and saw who it was.
"Vroom, vroom."
"Flurry!"
"Yeah, mom." said the small toddler.
"We've got someone who wants to see you," said Cadance.
Flurry Heart then got up as she dusted off her skirt. She then started walking towards the front door.
"Who is it, Mom?"
"Close your eyes," said Cadance as she bent down to her daughter. Flurry then did as her mother asked.
"One. Two."
"Three." said a voice as the small girl opened her eyes and saw who it was.
"Uncle Isaac?"
"Hey, Flurry," said Isaac as he bent down on one knee.
"Uncle Isaac!" shouted the toddler as she now raced into the arms of the boy as she hugged him. "Nice to see you, Uncle Isaac."
"Technically, I'm still not your uncle, Flurry. Me and Twilight aren't engaged yet. Nevertheless," said the boy as he put the girl down. "My, look at you, you've grown a bit since the last time I saw you."
"Mom says that I'm gonna grow up to be big and strong." said the young girl as Isaac rubbed her hair.
"Hey, I brought you something," said Isaac as he put his backpack down and unzipped it as he pulled out a small present. "Here you go."
"What is it?" asked the small girl as she took the gift and shook it a bit. She then tore at the wrapping paper. It was a small box as she took the lid off and inside were some cards.
"Some cards I decided you might like."
"Wow, I love them. Thanks." said Flurry as she grabbed the boy's hand and tried to drag him as Isaac walked with the girl to the living room.
She took the cards out as Isaac was on his knees next to the girl as she began to look at them as Isaac told about each one of them to the small child. She soon brought out her deck of cards as she had Isaac help her to adjust and edit while putting in the new cards. She even showed off the Blue Dragon Summoner card that was given to her by the boy during the time he and Twilight had to babysit the baby during New Years.
"Can we have a duel later, Isaac?" asked Flurry.
"I think I can spare a match." said the boy to the small girl. He then looked over at the couch as Tigre saw her owner. "Hey, girl."
"Meow."
"You've been behaving?" asked Isaac.
"Meow."
"You've been bossing Spike and keeping him in check?"
"Meow."
"Good." smiled Isaac as he grabbed his cat as Tigre let out a purr. She was glad to see her owner again as she missed seeing him. "I've missed you too." said the boy scratching her ears and under her chin.
"Hope she isn't too much trouble, Cadance."
"It's no trouble at all, Isaac. At least she's quiet, unlike Spike."
"Bark!" said the dog as he was offended by that comment.
"Meow, meow." said the cat to her animal buddy with some sass.
"I've been taking care of her," said Flurry.
"Are you now? Well, you're doing a good job," said Isaac as he put his cat down on the couch as he sat down with Flurry sitting next to him. His pet wasted no time in getting in his lap as she began to rub herself against her owner as she purred.
"Did you see Aunty Twily?" asked the girl.
"Yup, and she wishes she could be here. But she did ask me to give you a message," said Isaac as he kissed the small girl on her cheek.
"Then can you give this to her when you see her again," said Flurry as she kissed Isaac's cheek.
"I will," smiled the boy.
"So, how are things, Isaac?" asked Cadance as she sat in another couch chair.
"It's tough, especially being champion. I understand what Shining Armor went through when he was champ. But then again, you two were engaged, so his load was cut back a bit. Me, I'm doing every signing, every meeting, and every appearance that's being asked of me." said Isaac to the woman.
"Isaac, can I see your magicians?" asked Flurry tugging at his hoodie.
Isaac just smiled as he flipped open his deck box on his belt and pulled out his cards. He handed them to the small girl as she was looking at the monsters that belonged to Isaac as she was grinning ear to ear from seeing them again. She soon saw Isaac's two magicians as it brought back memories of a year and a half ago, when she was still a young baby and how she loved them.
"Do you remember what you used to say?" asked Isaac.
"Magic." said the girl.
Isaac just rubbed Flurry's hair as she smiled. For about the next hour or so, Isaac told Flurry and Cadance about his life since he became champion. Also as to why he was here as he was off to do some special training for his upcoming duel in a few weeks. Before Isaac left the two girls, he agreed to Flurry Heart's request on having a duel with the small toddler. The pair now sat on opposite sides of the table in the living room, as Cadance watched the two. Tigre had jumped on the table and sat in front of her owner to his side as she wanted an up-close view.
During the duel, Isaac would sometimes ask his cat what card to play as she used her paw to point at the one she liked. In the end, Flurry Heart was smiling as she enjoyed herself and getting better by learning from the boy. Soon it was time to leave, as Isaac said goodbye to the pets and received a hug and kiss from Cadance and her daughter as they were looking forward to seeing his duel in a few weeks.
Isaac was now walking down the sidewalk again. It was about 3 in the afternoon when he looked at his watch as he had taken care of all that he needed. Now he started to head towards his true destination. It didn't take long as soon the boy now found himself in front of a building.
"Never thought I'd see this place again," said Isaac looking at the house.
He then took a few feet towards the door. He took a deep breath and prepared himself as he rang the doorbell. For a few moments, nothing happened. Soon the door creaked open a bit.
"Hello?"
"Who is it?" called a voice from inside.
"Pinkie. It's me. Isaac."
"I-Isaac?" said the voice.
The door then opened a bit more as it revealed the girl. The girl had light cerulean eyes and brilliant raspberry hair that could almost pass for cotton candy. She wore a sequent grayish pink shirt and pale, light grayish raspberry shorts, white stockings, and light blue sneakers. She had grown since Isaac last saw her, but the thing that remained the same was her puffy hair that looked like cotton candy.
"Big brother?" said the girl as she looked at the young man as she too saw how Isaac had grown as well.
"Good to see you, little sister."
"Big bro!" said Pinkie as she lunged at Isaac and she wrapped her arms around the young man. It had been so long since she last saw the boy as she buried her head into his shirt and she had a few tears.
Isaac returned the gesture from the girl as he too hugged her. He ran his hair through her puffy hair as he was glad to see the person who he considered a sibling.
"I've missed you, big bro." cried Pinkie.
"I've missed you too, little sis." responded Isaac as the pair enjoyed the embrace from their sibling.
