(Maybe I should probably give these a separate account. There's a lot more where this is coming from).

Where won't that crazy Mask go...who knows? Somehow it ended up in the dorms of Yu-Gi-Oh GX and Alexis Rhodes is its resident victim.

To those that need context, this is when her alter-ego takes over during that whole "Society of Light" stuff. That part of her is the one the Mask is controlling--or is she controlling the Mask? Hmmmm...

'It was the aftermath of the duel between Jaden and Bob Banter. Right now, we find the 'whitened' Alexis Rhodes inside of 'White Dorm', the former Obelisk Blue dorm.

Alexis says, coldly, "I can't believe I thought that dork, Bob Banter, could bring Jaden into the Light!" Alexis thinks in her mind, with a cold plain tone, "Jaden is proving to be more problematic than I thought. Master Sartorius is right about him. We need Jaden in the Society of Light and I'll bring him there somehow. Jaden will be by my side in the Society of Light." Just then Alexis' PDA activates and she activates it to see Sartorius' face on the screen.

Sartorius tells Alexis, through the PDA, "Miss Rhodes, could you come to my room please?"

Alexis says, with a nod, "Right away, Master Sartoris." When her PDA de-activates Alexis heads over to Sartorius quarters in the 'White Dorm'.

Inside of Sartorius' room, we find leader of the Society of Light studying a familiar brownish-green mask.

When Alexis comes over to him, she asks, coldly, "Did you call for me, sir?"

Sartorius gets up from his chair and turns to face her in which he says, with the mask in his hands, "I did, my dear. I just acquired this mysterious artifact."

Alexis asks, perplexed while looking at the mask, "What so mysterious about that ugly old mask?"

Sartorius says, with an evil sly grin, "There is more to this mask than meets the eye my dear. It could help you bring Jaden into the Society of Light."

Alexis says, plainly, "I doubt it, Master Sartorius."

Sartorius' eyes glowed and he says, with an evil sly grin, "Don't be so sure. Trust me. This could very well help." Alexis' eyes become blank for a few seconds and when Sartorius' eyes stop glowing, Alexis' eyes return to normal. Sartorius tells Alexis, with an evil sly grin, "Why don't you try it on?"

Alexis says, taking the mask, "If you say so, sir." Alexis then turns the mask and puts it to her face causing it to immediately latch to her face. She moans loudly from the hot sensation surging through her and tries to remove the mask from her face as it covers her face like hot wax/rubber. But she doesn't succeed and when the mask covers her face, her body spins around in a mini-twister filled with wind, thunder, and lime green and sickly white lightning that knocks Sartorius down on his bottom. When the mini-twister stops with a loud screen, Sartorius sees a brand new Alexis in front of him!

Alexis' hair and hairstyle remain the same, the skin of her head down to the start of her neck is lime green in color and rubber-like in texture, her eyelashes are long and sensual, she has deep and gorgeous pearly white lips, her fingernails are sickly white, and she is wearing a 'sexier' version of her female 'Obelisk White' uniform.

Sartorius yells out, excitedly, "Excellent! The cards told me of the power of this 'Mask'." Sartorius asks, with an evil sly grin, "How do you feel, Miss Rhodes?"

Alexis/Mask replies, with a cold sinister smile, "Spanking, Master Sartorius!"

Sartorius says, with an evil sly grin, "I like your new attitude, Miss Rhodes. Now, let's try a 'test run' of your new abilities. Why don't you bring your friend, Mindy, into the Light?"

Alexis'/Mask's ears become pointed and she gives a cartoon snicker like Mutley and when her green face returns to normal, she says, with a cold sly tone giving a mock military tone, "Yes, sir! With pleasure Master Sartorius sir!" Alexis/Mask then turns into a mini-twister and zips out of Sartorius' room as he gives a wide evil grin about this.

Later within Duel Academy's hallways, we find Mindy walking down the hallways.

Just then a familiar female voice calls out, with a cold sly tone, "Where do you think you are going?" When Mindy looks ahead, she is surprised to see Alexis/Mask in front of her.

Mindy asks, stunned, "Alexis?"

Alexis/Mask replies, with a cold sly tone, "Who else did you expect fangirl? Princess Diana of Wales?"

Mindy asks, shocked, "What did that monster do you?"

Alexis/Mask yells out, her green head becoming a huge cartoon head, "DON'T TALK ABOUT MASTER SARTORIUS IN THAT FASHION!!!" Mindy falls down on her bottom and she runs away, but a twister constructs a white marble wall to block her way. When Mindy turns back to Alexis/Mask, she throws a Duel Disc to her and she says, with a cold sly tone, "Naughty, Mindy. You can't get away from the Light. The only way out is through me and only if you duel me."

Mindy swallows air as she puts the Duel Disc to her left wrist and she says, determined, "If this is the only way, then I'll do it! And I'll reserve what that monster did to you, Alexis!"

"Duel!" the two of them say as their duel begins.

Later on, we hear Mindy scream as she loses the duel and collapses onto the ground as she loses the duel. Afterwards, Alexis/Mask looks down at her with a cold grin on her lips.

Alexis/Mask says, with a cold sly tone, "Welcome to the Light, Mindy-chan." Alexis/Mask licks her lips as a cartoon-like image of a Chibi-Jaden in a Society of Light uniform comes into her mind and she says, with a cold seductive tone, "And Jaden-kun, you are next. Time to knock it into your skill where you belong. With Master Sartorius and the Society of Light." Alexis/Mask give a cold cartoon giggle as she prepares to take Mindy to her 'new home' at the 'White Dorm'...'

Epilogue:

Alexis/Mask then takes out a strange wand and she says, with a cold sly grin, "It is time for your makeover thanks to the magic of 'Light'!" Alexis/Mask then sends sickly white energy from the wand into Mindy causing her Obelisk Blue uniform to change into an 'Obelisk White' uniform, her lips become a lovely sickly pearly white, and her fingernails become sickly pearly white as well. Mindy then groans as she wakes up and when she gets to her feet, Alexis/Mask says, with a cold grin, "How do you feel, Mindy?"

Mindy says, with a cold smile, "Excellent, Alexis-sama. Thank you for showing me the wonders of the Light."

Alexis/Mask says, with a cold smile, "It's no problem, Mindy. It's about time."

Mindy says, with a cold smile, "Sorry for being so stubborn. Maybe we should knock some sense into Jasmine too."

Alexis/Mask says, with a cold sly grin showing off pearly white teeth, "Great idea, Mindy. Come and let's find her." Mindy bows and follows Alexis/Mask as she heads off to find Jasmine to 'show her the Light'...'

Eh, this took a while because the color of the Obelisk Blue dorm's a killer. I 'Tubed a few episodes and episode 70 was my best reference for coloring the place.

Even then, coloring this is the result of many headaches (listing all the copyrights doesn't help much either), because it looks so simple and yet it still took a while to get varied colors that didn't clash (oh and check out the right set of handrails...that part was FUN to figure out-_-. Hell I regressed to overusing burn/dodge, even though I know better these days.

Anyways, I'm glad it's done and over with. The room melted my brain so badly I think I stopped caring about the shading making sense. Even if I did make mistakes, I doubt I'll be punctual about corrections. There's a better chance Mother 4 gets developed before that happens at this point.

Many thanks to HazardGallantmon for the story, Jokerisdaking for commissioning more Mask stuffs and Shoxxe for continuing to draw more of these when the price is right.
