I don't own Yu-Gi-Oh GX!
Hey everyone! Darky here with another GX FF I thought of that I just had to write down. Now, there are a lot of GX retellings out there with Jaden awaking the powers of the Supreme King early and all and I wanted to make my own take of that too but make it different from all the other ones and that's where this idea came from! Why not just have Haou be his own person?
So yeah, this story's main characters are going to be Jaden and Haou but not like how you remember them (for the most part anyway). First off, they are two different brings as in they both have their own bodies and are twins: Haou being the older one while Jaden is the younger one. Jaden is going to be a mix of his season 1 and 4 selves with just a little differences from time to time. His soul going to be fused with Yubel's from the very beginning (that will be explained on how that is as the story progresses) and he can speak to all his Duel Monsters in this. So I hope that makes up for the fact that I'm not putting Winged Kuriboh in this (I may or may not add the little guy in later though *shurgs*). As for Haou, he's not going to be the power hungry king we all know and love...yet *evil smirk* but he's still going to be cold, dark, and cruel for the most part (besides to his brother and Yubel (and a few other people as time goes on)).
I hope you guys enjoy the first chapter for the most part since I worked very hard on it...but I have to say that if you don't like the ending or Haou duel against Crowler then I'm truly sorry but I wanted to get this up before I had to study for my exams again. Still, I hope you like the story of the Gentle Darkness twins; read, review, and enjoy!
Edited 6/1/15- So yeah, I'm going back and editing through this story again since I make a lot of mistakes that I don't notice until someone points them out to me along with adding in more detail and such. Also, if this is your first time reading this, welcome! I hope you enjoy this story! I'm going to add in some side notes here that I should have done when I first posted his story.
1. I do make grammar mistakes and such that I miss like I said so be free to point those out in the reviews for me to fix later.
2. There will be fanmade cards and I will be changing some cards effects if needed (since they did that in the anime so I will be doing it too) also, I will change Synchro and Xyz monsters into Fusion and Effect monsters as well if I want to use them.
3. Ways of speech are of the following:
Normal Talking
Spirits Talking/Thinking/Voice Overlaying
Dark, evil-like voice
4. Since I'm using the English names, I'm saying that this is taking place in American rather then Japan. It's just feels weird to me that this is taking place in Japan what with all the Americanism that was added in for the English Dubbed.
...
Everyone knows that Light and Darkness are two sides of the same coin. One of them is good and the other is evil but without one of them, the other would become unbalanced and lose control. But the one thing that everyone gets wrong is that they believe that Light is the good while Darkness is evil. In some cases that's true but when the world was first created, it was the other way around.
When the universe was first created from Chaos, the Void of Nothingness, it was divided into Darkness and Light. As the Light vanished soon after it was created, the Darkness filled the universe and created much life. However, the Light of Destruction appeared once again and threatened to invade the Gentle Darkness and destroy the life. The Gentle Darkness knew that it couldn't stop the dark light by itself so it gave its power to a prince who would one day be known as the Supreme King, Ruler of the Gentle Darkness.
When the future king was a child, the king before him, his father, told Yubel, the prince's childhood friend and servant to the kingdom, that his son needed a guardian to watch over him until he grew to adulthood and could control his powers. Yubel volunteered to be that guardian, even at the cost of knowing what would happen to their friendship, and was transformed from a human into a Duel Monster's Spirit.
You'll see, the prince and the soon to be guardian were in a secret relationship (since it was forbidden for royalty and servants to get married back in the olden days) so when the prince found out what was going to happen, a piece of him broke that day, a piece that soon started to turn his once kind darkness into what people know today.
After Yubel was turned into a dragon-human-demon hermaphrodite (even though she was still pretty much female), the Prince of Darkness made a promise to her that she would be the only one he would love and care about and that promise meant everything. Afterwards, the prince started to turn cold and dark to everyone around him and when it was time for him to face against the Light of Destruction, his powers had weaken greatly due to the fact that he had forgotten how to care for many beings besides just one.
The prince, now known as the Supreme King, wasn't able to defeat the Light of Destruction but using the last of his powers, he sent the evil light into the future just as it was about to kill him. The Supreme King did ended up dying from the injures that couldn't be healed after the battle but on his dying bed, he sent his loyal guardian and lover to the very end, Yubel, into the future as well, knowing that they would meet again someday.
They did end up meeting again but in two different forms. The Supreme King's soul ended up being reincarnated into his two different sides: one that cares for everyone and the one that's cold, dark, and only cares about one thing other than himself.
Haou Yuki knew this story like he knew the back of his hand, but still looking in the mirror at himself, he knew he was going to end up a monster like he did in the past. The Supreme King wasn't just cold, he was power hungry. Before his great battle with the Light of Destruction, he took over town after town, killing people that didn't want to serve him.
Haou knew he was the darker half of the past king; he didn't like anyone besides his younger twin brother (most of the time anyway) and their guardian and he had a thing for adding a little bit of a Shadow Game into each duel he faced in, to his knowledge of it or not.
It's no wonder why their parents left them to fend for themselves.
After the disappearance of the person he cared for the most in the world, Haou lost it and explode into full out rage mode, ending up creating a deadly Duel Monster who threaten to destroy anything and everything that stood in it's path. If it wasn't for his twin brother, Haou and the demon monster might have done just that and with the help of their guardian, they were able to calm Haou down again and lock away the monster that he created (along with a few other ones) into a small dimensional prison, the Pit as they call it, hoping that they would never see the light of day ever again.
But, of course, things didn't end on a happy note for the twins. Their parents happened to have seen the whole thing, or at least the part when Haou's eyes changed color into a deadly, cold, dark golden. Scared for their lives, his father and mother pulled their other son away from their demon one and casted him away, claiming that they weren't the parents to a demon child. Shocked at hearing this, Haou's twin broke free from his parents hold and claimed that "If Haou a demon child then I'm one too!" before he took his brother's hand and they ran away from home together with only their Duel Monster Spirits as their parent figures to protect and take of them.
Though, to put a long story short, run away eight-year-olds really didn't have it easy in life even with spirits watching out for them. They had to steal food for a little while until their guardian taught Haou how to control his powers and was able, for a short time, to make their monsters real so that they could get food for them. At first, things were going okay for the twins but every so often, Haou would get angry and his powers would go out of control. Afraid that he might accidentally hurt his younger brother because of this, Haou asked his guardian if his twin had the same powers that he did and when Yubel admitted that he did, Haou wanted to do everything in his power to make sure that his brother wouldn't have to go through what he had to to stay in control but in the mean time still be able to defended himself if needed too.
So using dark magic that he didn't even know he had, let alone know how to use, Haou fused Yubel's and his brother's souls together, using a Polymerization card he had. At times, Haou questioned if that was the best call to make. Thinking about it, his brother's soul was now half demon's and Haou wondered if he just damned his brother because of it.
But at other times, Haou just shrugged the thought off. Why he did that he didn't know either. Maybe it was because he just didn't all that care about his twin. Maybe he just fused their souls together to see both his brother and guardian in pain because of that. Haou wouldn't put it past himself. He knew there was a cold darkness resting in his heart that was just waiting to be unleashed again. He knew that just by staring at his dark, golden eyes that stated back at him through the mirror.
"Don't tell me your staring at the mirror again, Haou. It's not going to break."
Haou paused in his train of thought and sighed when he heard his brother chuckle after he said that.
"I can still wish, can't I, Jaden?" Haou asked glancing over his shoulder.
Judai Yuki, or better known as Jaden, was standing in the doorway of Haou's room, carrying two cokes in his hands. His heterochromic eyes, one orange and the other green, were watching his brother to see if he would make a move or not to get them.
Haou sighed again at this as he turned to look back at the mirror. He knew what his brother was trying to do and he wasn't going to play along. "If this is another stupid way of trying to make me get up and stop staring at the mirror then tell Yubel this is getting pretty old."
"Jaden's soul might be fused together with mine, Haou, but I can still make appearances and tell you something when I want to. On another note…" Haou groaned when he felt someone hit him across the back of his head. "I can still hit you when I want to too."
"You kinda had that one coming, bro." Jaden said with a grin while Haou rolled his eyes.
"I hate you two." Haou grumbled as he was now looking at his younger by few minutes twin brother from his reflecting in the mirror.
The Yuki twins looked too much alike but they couldn't be more different even if they tried. First off, they we're both born with brown eyes but after the little incident with Haou and the Duel Monster he created, his eyes had changed to their now dark, golden color and when Haou fused Jaden and Yubel's souls together, Jaden's eyes turned into that of Yubel's, heterochromic orange and green. Even though their eyes would never really would return to their normal brown color, the Twins of Darkness could still change them to brown for a short time to hide their 'special' difference from the world. Both of them also had brown with a little orange on the top hair.
At the moment, Haou was dressed like he normally always does in black and gold clothing while Jaden was wearing a red t-shirt, white pajama pants and was barefoot since he was about to go to bed for the night. He only came into Haou's room just to make sure his brother wasn't trying to summon up the forces of darkness…again…he kinda had a thing for doing that and Jaden really didn't want their new home to be destroyed just as soon as they build it with the help of their Duel Monster Spirts and with the use of their powers.
Jaden walked over and sat down next to Haou on the edge of his bed. "Yeah, hate me all you want but that doesn't stop me from caring about you, bro." The younger Yuki twin said with a smile as he handed Haou one of the cokes he was carrying. "And just to tell you, no, this wasn't another excuse to get you to stop staring at yourself from Yubel. Though seeing you getting hit by her is always funny to watch-" Haou flashed a glare at him. "-I just came to share a soda. Is that really a crime to you, Haou?"
Haou sighed and shook his head as he took the coke his brother handed to him. "No, I guess not."
Unknown to Haou, Jaden shook the crap out of the soda can so when Haou opened it, soda exploded out of the can and all over the darker twin's face. Haou didn't so much as flinch from this since he pretty much expected this by now from his childish brother. Why he always went along with his tricks was something he always asked himself. Haou looked over to his left at his brother who was just still sitting there with a giant grin on his face.
"Jaden."
"Yes Haou?"
"You know I'm going to kill you now, right?"
"Yep."
"Then why aren't you running?"
"Oh yeah…" Jaden jumped off the bed and took off running out of the room, laughing.
Haou shook his head with a small chuckle. "Idiot," He mumbled before he stood up and went to the bathroom to go wash the soda off his face.
...
The next morning, Haou was fast asleep in his bed but the Child of Darkness wasn't alone in the room. At the other side of the room, far away from his bed, was a group of fiend Duel Monster Spirits under the title of Evil HERO. These monsters were used by Haou/Jaden in their past life as the Supreme King but while Jaden did his duels with the Elemental HEROES, Haou chose to use the monsters he used in the past.
"So who's waking up Haou this time?" One of the fiends asked with a hiss to the other Evil HEROES. This fiend was female with grey wings on her back. She wore a red robe that formed like a cape at the end. She had giant green claws for hands and green hair. She also had spikes on her shoulders and was wearing a mask that covered her eyes. This lady fiend was Evil HERO Inferno Wing, one of monsters Haou used when he wanted a duel to be over in one turn. Long story short, he used her a lot.
When no one answered the fire fiend, Inferno Wing hissed at them again. "If you fools think that I'm waking him up then you all have been hanging out with Jaden to long."
The Evil HEROES might have been monsters that made children's nightmares come true but the only thing that scared them was Haou, that being pretty much self explained.
"What's this about Jaden I'm hearing?"
The group of fiends looked at the doorway to see that another fiend had appeared. This fiend's appearance can only be described as demonic. This Duel Spirit was female but some parts on her body were male. She has sickly-pink skin, large black wings, and heterochromic eyes that were the same as Jaden's. One side of her body was distinctly female, with a covered breast and a rounded hip. The other side looked more masculine with a pectoral muscle, no breast, and a harder, less rounded hip. She had black clothing that covered most of her pink skin, blue lips and pointed teeth. She also had a third eyeball in the middle of her forehead that was connected to her blue hair on one side of her head with the other side having white hair. The female fiend was none other than Yubel, the Twins of Darkness guardian, but at times, more like their babysitter/mother figure.
"I wouldn't be talking bad about Jaden, Inferno Wing, or else Haou going to have to replace you." Yubel warned the other female fiend, making the fire monster go dead quiet, as Yubel went over to Haou to sit at the edge of his bed. Yubel gently shook Haou's shoulder. "Up and Adam, sleepy head." All she got in return was a groan from Haou as he grabbed his pillow and covered his face with it. That got Yubel to narrow her eyes at her king. The guardian stood back up, grabbed Haou, and toss him off the bed and onto the floor with a thud.
At the sound of Haou's body hitting the ground, all the Evil HEROES were pretty much gone. Yubel rolled her eyes at that while Haou stood up to glare at her with tired golden eyes.
"What the hell was that for?!" The darkness user asked with a snarl.
"Your own fault for not waking up, your highness." Yubel replied, causing Haou's already dark golden eyes to become even darker.
"Don't call me that." He warned, the venom in his tone as clear as day. Haou then glanced over at his clock which was sitting on top of his dresser. It read 9:30 a.m. "Don't tell me exams are today…"
"Sorry but they are."
"10 a.m.?"
"Yep."
Haou cursed, "son of a…"
"Watch you're language, Haou." Yubel smirked when Haou flipped her off for that.
"Just go tell Elemental HERO Ocean to wake up Jaden while I get our things ready."
"As you wish…your highness."
Haou looked ready to snap at her for that but before he could, Yubel was already gone.
"If I knew that fusing Yubel's and Jaden's souls together would cause her to start acting like him then I wouldn't have done so in the first place. " Haou mumbled knowing he was going to get hit in the head for that later but at the moment, he really didn't care. Haou wasn't a morning person and being thrown out of the bed sure didn't help his mood.
The wielder of the Gentle Darkness started to get changed until he was wearing a black t-shirt, leather pants, golden in color and black combat boots, leather jacket, and dark sunglasses. He could change his eyes to their brown color but since they always changed back to gold when he was angry or when he dueled, it was better to wear these every time he went out.
Just as Haou was getting his things packed, he heard his younger brother screaming which made a small smirk to form on his face. A few seconds later, Jaden was standing once again in the doorway of Haou's room, drowning wet from head to toe. That just made Haou's smirk widen.
"Really? You really had to make Ocean drown me to get me awake?" Jaden asked, his arms crossed over his chest.
"Jaden, not many things can wake you up and it was either that or getting a megaphone and placing it next to your ear. Plus look on the bright side, you got a five second shower." Haou smirked devilishly before he placed a hand to his throat and mumbled a few things in a language that was only known to Duel Spirits, Jaden, and him. Haou removed his hand and spoke again but this time his voice was less dark and sounded like a normal human being. "Now get dried off and get dressed. We have to go."
Jaden blinked a few times before his eyes bugged out and widen. "The Exams!" The younger Yuki twin took off to his room to get dressed and packed.
Haou sighed and shook his head. "I thought Jaden would have gotten a few more brain cells after fusing with Yubel."
The older Yuki twin got hit upside the head from the said female dragon demon.
...
"Never have I been more thankful to be fused with a demon in my whole life." Jaden said in his once normal voice as he and Haou entered the Kaiba Dorm: the sight where the field test exams were being held to see who was going to make it into Duel Academy, the world's most famous Dueling School.
Yes, they may have been a power hungry king in a past life but the Yuki twins still had a lot to learn about dueling and wanted to improve themselves. Well truth be told, Haou didn't want to be here but he wasn't going to leave his brother alone. Sure he always had Yubel and his Elemental HEROES with him but Jaden was like bomb with his powers, one wrong move and it could set him off. Of course, Haou really shouldn't be talking here either.
"What does you having to be fused with Yubel have to do with anything with us being on time?" Haou questioned raising an eyebrow at his younger twin.
Jaden grinned. "Now I won't be tired from all that running we had to do to get here."
"You're unbelievable, Jay." Haou muttered as he looked down at the dueling fields to see some of the matches that were going on. Most of them bored the Evil HERO duelist but one of them that was about to end caught his eye.
The duel that Haou was watching was between a black-haired guy dueling against a blue coated examiner that was wearing sunglasses. The boy had 3200 life points while the examiner only had 1900 life points left. It looked like the black hair guy was about to win but the examiner had two defensive-type monsters on his field while the guy only had a Vorse Raider and one face down on his side.
"Alright new guy, you got two monsters staring you down. Do you A) Throw in the towel, B) Beg for mercy, or C) Run home to Mama?" The examiner taunted the boy.
"I'll go with D) None of the above!" The boy replied as he activated his facedown which turned out to be Ring of Destruction and he placed it on his own Vorse Raider. His monster was destroyed and both players took damage but the examiner lost the last of his life points.
"Clever move, applicant, welcome to the academy." The duel examiner praised.
The boy bowed with respect. "Thank you oh wise proctor." He replied.
Giving up your own monster just to take down your opponent's life points? Haou smirked. Sounds like something I would do. Maybe I should duel that guy when I get the chance? Haou shrugged at the thought before he looked at his twin.
Unlike Haou, who found the finishing move impressing, Jaden was frowning at it. "I knew he was trap but having to give up your own monster just to win?" Jaden glanced over at Haou. "Have you been brainwashing people to duel like you?"
Jaden never liked people who would give up on their monsters just to destroy someone's life points. Haou would do that every so often, getting him a frown from his younger brother.
"Jaden, I can't brainwash people. That wasn't in the list of powers I was born with and even if I could, Yubel would smack me upside the head like she always does when I try to do something evil." Haou pointed out before he turned his attention to a group of boys in blue blazers sitting a little bit away from them. Thanks to his powers of the Gentle Darkness, his senses were better than a normal human's so he could hear everything they were saying.
"That guy is pretty good, don't you think, Chazz?" One of the boys asked who had blue hair and glasses.
"Guess the rumors about him being some kind of whiz guy were true, huh Chazz, huh?" The other boy added who had dark brown hair.
The boy that they were talking to was leaning back in his chair with his arms stretched out from behind him. He had dark black hair and grey eyes. "He's a punk," The boy they named Chazz spat, unimpressed by this. "We went to Duel Prep School for the past three years. We're ready for the Academy. These kids don't know what they're in for. But they'll learn, the hard way, the Chazz Princeton way." He smirked at that making Haou narrow his eyes at him but chose to ignore the spoiled brat and turned to look back at his brother who now had his normal grin back on his face.
"I might not like how he won that duel but man, that last guy really tore it up down there." Jaden said with his arms crossed over his chest.
"Yeah, that's Bastion Misawa." A voice said making the Yuki twins look over and down to see a short boy with spiked blue hair, grey eyes, and glasses was speaking to them. "It's said that he got the highest written exam score out of all us applicants."
"Wow, I just barely passed…" Jaden glanced over at Haou who had a smirk on his face. "I'm not making a comment about you being smarter than me." Long story short, Jaden was a little bitter at his brother since he got an 89% on the written exam while Jaden only got a 62% and they had to at least get a 60% to pass the exam. Jaden barely just made it with 2%.
"Yeah me too. My name's Syrus by the way, nice to meet you. I kinda have this thing about getting test anxiety. I don't know how I won my match." Syrus lowered his head in shame at that.
"So you're in." Jaden said with a giant grin on his face as she clapped Syrus on the back, making the small boy tumble forward and almost fell over the railing. "Congrats to you on that, my brother and I will be in as soon as we win our duels."
"Wait, you two haven't dueled yet?" Syrus asked looking from Jaden to Haou and right back to Jaden since the looks of the older Yuki twin scared the little guy. Haou said nothing while Jaden answered with a 'nope'. "Then you two might have a problem. I think this was supposed to be the last one."
Jaden fell to the ground, anime style while Haou just shook his head at him.
...
Around the same time, at the bottom of the arena sat a bunch of Duel Academy's teachers and staff who were talking about this year's students.
"Looks like we've got a pretty good crowd this year," one of the teachers said.
"Yes indeed," another teacher agreed.
Within this group of teachers and staff was another one that was just sitting there not talking to anyone but just watching the duels. This teacher was male but looked very much like a female with all the makeup he wore and his blond hair in a ponytail. He was dressed in a teacher blue blazer that had gold shoulder plates and trimmings along with a ruffled pink collar. He was just about to leave but was stopped when the guy from the sign in duty came in to talk to him.
"I'm sorry to interrupt but two last minute applicants have arrived to take their exam, Mr. Crowler." He told the female looking teacher.
"Excuse me? Did you just call me, 'mister'?" Crowler asked with a scowled.
"I'm sorry. I'm new here, Miss…."
"I have a PHD in dueling, thank you, and I earned the title 'doctor'!" Crowler snapped before he looked away. "Now tell the truants that they'll have to come back next year."
The other teachers and staff looked at him, all of them frowning at his choice.
"Come on, Dr. Crowler, we have time for two more."
"Yes, let's give these duelists a fair shot."
"They were just a little bit late, that's all."
"LATE IS RUDE!" Crowler finally snapped as he slammed his hands down making everyone in the room shut up. "I have no time for slackers!"
Just then, Crowler's phone stared to ring and he pulled it out of his pocket to answer it. "What?!" He asked the person who was on the other line in annoyance.
"It's Sheppard," the person on the other side said and with that name, Crowler's angry mood turn into a good one.
"Oh, Chancellor Sheppard," Crowler said who was doing an amazing job of not showing any angry in the call.
"I'm just calling to make sure everything is running smoothly, Crowler. We wouldn't want a repeat of what happened last year. When you cut a third of our student applicants for some ridiculous reason, calling you 'Mr.' or Mrs.'? Whatever, just make sure everyone get a fair shot." Chancellor Sheppard told him which made Crowler bug out for a few seconds.
"Yes of course, sir." Crowler replied as he hanged up and he let out a small snarl. Furry-chinned windbag, doesn't he realize that there are enough talentless flunkies at this school? But he's the boss and if he wants to give these slackers a duel then fine. Crowler thought as he stood up and started walking out of the room. "Pardon me, gentlemen, I'll be right back." He said.
"But sir, who will be the boys' dueling proctors and which exam decks should we use?" Once of the teachers asked holding up a case filled with the testing decks.
Crowler just huffed as he continued to walk away. "Oh leave that to me," he answered with an evil smirk.
...
Back with the Yuki twins and Syrus, Bastion Misawa had just came up to the stands and took a seat right below them and was taking off his duel disk.
"Tight duel, Bastion," the newly enrolled student looked up when Jaden said that.
"Thank you," was all he said back.
"By the looks of it, you might just be the third best duelist here." Jaden continued with a smile which made Bastion and Syrus look at him in surprise. "Just learn not to give up on your monsters the next time like someone I know and you can take that number two spot." Jaden got a death glare from Haou which made the younger twin laugh. Before Syrus or Bastion could say anything to that, the loudspeakers cut them off.
"Jaden Yuki, please report to Dueling Field 4!"
"Well that's my cue," Jaden said with a grin before he looked at Haou. "See you after I pass, bro."
Haou said nothing as Jaden started off down the stands but he was stopped when he pasted Bastion who asked-
"Wait, if I'm third best then who's first and second?" The boy asked in confusion.
Jaden smirked at that as he pointed at himself and then at Haou. "We're still trying to decide which of us takes first but even still, it's what we're best at." He answered before he continued his way down to his dueling field.
Bastion raised an eyebrow at that before he looked at the older Yuki twin who was watching his brother leave. "Is he making this up or is he really as good as he thinks he is?"
Haou glanced down at Bastion but with his dark shades on, Bastion couldn't tell that he was looking at him. "Find out for yourself." He replied rudely, hating his brother a little bit right now for being so social and making everyone think it was okay to talk to him. Just end this quick, Jaden, so I can show everyone who the real king around here is.
...
Jaden rode up a platform to his dueling arena, duel disk on his arm with his deck already in it that was ready to be started. When he got to the top, he could already see that someone was standing there on the other side of the field, waiting for him. Truth be told, Jaden was a bit weirded out when he first saw the appearance of his opponent but he did his best to make sure it didn't show on his face.
"Jaden..." Yubel appeared next to her soul partner like she always did when Jaden dueled. "Out of all the people they could have picked to be your opponent…they picked a cross-dresser?" She shook her head at that. "You better hope you don't lose or Haou going to hold this against you for months."
Jaden looked at her, his eyes changed to Yubel's orange and green color as he said. "I have this guy beat by my second turn or by an O.T.K." He said before his eyes changed back to brown and his voice went back to normal before he turned to look back at his opponent.
"Alright, test time! So son, what's your name?"
"Jaden Yuki."
"Well 'Jaden Yuki', I'm Doctor Vellian Crowler, the Department Chair of Dueling Techniques here at Duel Academy."
"Wow, a department chair? I had no idea. From the way you were dressed, I thought you were some kind of wired academy mascot." Jaden replied rubbing the back of his head, sheepishly. Yubel chuckled at that since she could very well believe that too.
The act and comment made Crowler's face go red with anger which also made a few students laugh or went very quiet since they knew who Crowler really was.
"Now that he mentions it…" The boy with blue hair and glasses sitting next to Chazz said.
"This kid got some lip, huh Chazz?" The other boy asked looking over at their leader.
Chazz just snarled a little at this.
Say one more thing about my little brother and you three are getting a death note. Haou thought glaring at the three blue students before he looked back down at the field.
Back on the field, Jaden was staring in amazement as Crowler activated his Duel Vest. "Hey, that's pretty sweet, teach. How do I get one of those super cool duel blazers?" He asked from excitement.
"Oh a lot of hard work and extremely high marks." Crowler answered as he thought, of course, you'll have to be accepted first which I will make sure doesn't happen.
"Well I'm ready," Jaden said snapping Crowler out of his train of thought.
"Let's duel!" They both said at the same time as their duel finally started.
(Jaden: 4000 Crowler: 4000)
"I'll go first, teach." Jaden said as he drew a card from his deck and grinned at what he got. "Sweet, I'm going to summon Elemental HERO Knospe in defense mode!" Right after he said that, a living plant monster with its card under it appeared on the field with a shriek from excitement.
The plant was a female green rose bud with the top of its head having a little light yellow tint to it. It's had green plant-like skin with two more rose buds for hands; two leafs on her back that looked like a cape, and a silver necklace with a pink gem in the middle of it. The plant monster had leafs for foot also, blue eyes and a permanent bright pink blush on her face (Atk: 600 Def: 1000).
"Yay! Jay-bear summoned me first!" Knospe cheered making Jaden smile at his child monster.
"Well I told you I would the next time I dueled someone." Jaden replied as he took a spell card from his hand and placed it in his Spell and Trap card zone. "I play the spell card, HERO's Bond. When there's a face up HERO monster on the field, I can special summon two level 4 or below Elemental HERO monsters from my hand and I just happened to have two more heroes in my hand as we speak." Jaden smirked as he placed two monster cards on his Monster Card zone, both in defense mode. "I summon Elemental HERO Avian and Elemental HERO Burstinatrix!"
Two new heroes appeared on the field, both kneeing down on each side of Knospe. The first one was a male who looked to be dressed in a green bird suit. He had long white wings on his back with a red gem on each of them at the tip of the top, green and white shoulder pads with a spike in the middle, and a grey chest. The warrior bird man had normal human hands but on his left one, he had an animal claw that was a connected to his suit, bird talons for feet, and was wearing a green mask with white eyes (Atk: 1000 Def: 1000).
The second hero was a woman with long grey hair with snow-white tips. She was wearing a red leather full body costume that had cut around her shoulders with a slight gap at the base of her neck. It also stopped a few inches after her shoulder. She had red heeled boots, red finger-less gloves that stopped just after her elbows with spikes at the end, and was wearing a golden helmet with a small green gem in the middle of it. She had ash white skin, green eyes, and ruby-red lips (Atk: 1200 Def: 800).
"What the heck am I looking at?" Burstinatrix questioned staring at Crowler. "Why is Jaden dueling a cross-dresser?"
"That's a cross-dresser? I just thought it was a clown, an ugly clown." Knospe put in making Jaden and Yubel chuckle.
"It doesn't matter who Jaden dueling. All that matters is that we insure victory for him." Avian pointed out to his fellow heroes before he looked over at his master. "I believe you had something else to play, didn't you?"
Jaden nodded as he took another card in his hand and placed it face down on his field. "I'm just going to throw down a face down and call it a turn. Now get your game on, teach!"
"Yes, very good…don't tell me what to do." Crowler added under his breath as his duel vest shot out his sixth card. After all, since I'm using my own personal deck rather than one of those test decks, I'll be sending this slacker home in no time. He thought with an evil grin."Alright, for my first move, I think I'll start nice and easy by playing the spell card, Confiscation."
"Okay, what does it do?" Jaden asked while Yubel grew tense.
"What it does is that if I pay 1000 of my life points, it gives me a chance to look at your hand and send one of your cards to the graveyard."
(Jaden: 4000 Crowler: 3000)
The cards in Jaden's hand glowed blue before holograms of his hand appeared in front of Crowler. "Oh yes, I remember some of these from back when I was a naive rookie."
"Naive rookie?! You're making fun of one of the Lords of the Gentle Darkness, she-male." Yubel growled at the teacher even though she knew for a fact that he couldn't hear her or any of Jaden's monsters.
"Yeah don't make fun of my Jay-bear, ugly clown!" Knospe added in, trying to sound threatening.
"Guys, it's fine." Jaden told his female monsters but was a worried himself about which card Crowler decided to pick.
"I chose to send Monster Reborn to the graveyard." Crowler picked as one of the hologram cards in front of him flipped over to show the said card before it was destroyed. Jaden let out a sigh of relief, not to loud for Crowler to hear, since the teacher didn't destroy the card he planned to use to beat him. "Next, I'll play two card faced down on the field and last but not least, I'll play Heavy Storm! This magic card destroys all spell and trap cards on the field!"
Two cards appeared face down in front of Crowler but were soon destroy when a strong gust of wind blew over the field. It also destroyed Jaden's face down which turned out to be Draining Shield.
"Crap," Jaden mumbled before he grinned. "I guess you forgot you had two trap cards on your field too."
"Jaden, those two trap cards were Statue of the Wicked. When they are destroyed, Crowler gets two wicked tokens." Yubel explained making Jaden's eyes widen when two golden serpents like token appeared on Crowler's side of the field.
"A card that strong can't be in a test deck. Crowler must be using his own." The boy with glasses, Taiyou, said.
"Then this duel is over. No one can beat the deck of an expert like Dr. Crowler." The other boy, Raizou, added in.
"Yeah, it's impossible, don't you think, Chazz?"
"Yeah, what do you think, Chazz?"
"I think I'm gonna enjoy watching Crowler mop the floor with our mouthy little friend down there. I only wish he treated all the other second rate duelists here the same way." Chazz answered with a smirk.
You idiots have no idea how wrong you are. Haou thought glaring at the Obelisk students before his gazed traveled until it rested on two other students, one male and one female. The male had dark blue hair and grey eyes and wore a senior year Obelisk Blue uniform and he had his arms crossed over his chest. The female had long golden blond hair and hazel eyes. She was wearing a female Obelisk Blue: an white blazer with a blue-mini skirt and blue heels plus blue finger less dueling gloves and she was leaning against the railing.
"What an elitist snob." The girl said with a scoff. "Bullying some kid with his very best cards."
"You're too soft, Alexis." The male said making Alexis look at him. "I just hope we get to see that legendary rare monster that Crowler has stashed away in that deck of his."
"For that kid's sake, Zane, I kinda hope he doesn't play it." Alexis replied.
Feeling sorry for my brother? Haou rolled his eyes. Well their going to be mind blown during Jaden's next turn.
"Now, I'll sacrifice my two wicked tokens to summon out my Ancient Gear Golem in attack mode!" Crowler yelled as the two snake tokens disappeared in fire and as soon as they were gone, a giant made out of rusted old gears and metals appearing on the field behind Crowler (Atk: 3000 Def: 3000).
Alexis gasped. "There it is! The legendary rare card!"
"And I say we're about to find out just what makes it so legendary." Zane added.
"Now I hope you're not too scared of my legendary Ancient Gear Golem?" Crowler taunted but all Jaden did was grin.
"Are you kidding? I always wanted to take one on." Jaden answered which made a lot of people in the stands gasp.
"Wow, he's either brave or nuts." Syrus said and even Haou couldn't defend his younger brother on that one since Jaden was both of those things.
"He's staring down that legendary rare monster like he doesn't have a care in the world." Zane commented.
"At least the kid's showing some backbone, Zane." Alexis put in.
"There won't be much of it to show after this." Zane pointed out.
Crowler snarled at his comment. "Oh you think you can beat my great beast, do you? Well how do you think your chances of doing that feel after my Ancient Gear Golem destroys your Elemental HERO Burstinatrix with Mechanized Melee?!"
"Oh you have got to be kidding me…" Burstinatrix groaned as the giant monster brought its arm back and sent it fist right through the fire heroine and destroyed her. But the attack didn't stop there as the giant's fist continued flying as it went right through Jaden, causing the Elemental HERO duelist to gasp from the surprise attack before he lowered his head, looking like he was crying.
(Jaden: 1800 Crowler: 3000)
"Even if your monster was in defense mode, it still won't protect your life points against my golem because of its effect." Crowler laughed as he ended his turn. "Face it kid, I have you..." Crowler went quite when Jaden raised his head to show everyone he was laughing.
"Boy, I really want to come to this school now. You really know your stuff, teach." Jaden said grinning while Yubel shook her head. "But I should warn you, Crowler, when you destroy one of my monsters, the handy cap is off. I'm going full out now."
"Wait…does that mean he wasn't even trying before?" Syrus asked.
"If Jaden wasn't trying before then things are about to get real." Bastion stated.
Oh you two have no idea. Haou thought when he saw the smirk on Jaden's face. Jaden had this won from the very beginning. If Crowler would have gone first then Jaden could have had an O.T.K. from the very start.
"So guys, should I end this now or continue this duel for a little bit longer just for the laughs?" Jaden asked his two monsters on his field and his spirit partner.
"He destroyed Burstinatrix and laughed like it was no big deal. I say finish him." Avian answered.
"Yeah, I don't like the ugly clown anymore." Knospe agreed. "I want mommy."
Jaden looked over to Yubel to hear what she thought. "Just kick his ass already, Jay. I'm getting bored of this cross-dresser freak." The demon answered.
"Alright then," Jaden said with a smirk as he drew and his smirk widen at what he got. "Game over for you, Crowler. I play The Warrior Returning Alive spell card. This lets me take back a warrior type monster from my graveyard and add it to my hand and with only one warrior monster in my graveyard, I think you know who I'm bringing back."
Burstinatrix appeared next to Yubel in spirit form once her card returned to Jaden's hand.
"I don't know who I hate more: that she-male or that monster of his." The fire warrior hissed.
"Don't worry, Burstinatrix; you're getting your pay back right now." Jaden said as he shared a nod with Avian before he played the card he was happy that Crowler didn't destroyed when he played Confiscation. "I now play Polymerization! When this, I'm going to fuse Elemental HERO Avian and Elemental HERO Burstinatrix to summon Elemental HERO Flame Wingman in attack mode!"
Burstinatrix appeared on the field again before she and Avian swirl together until they merged to form a monster that had a dragon like face. He had Avian's colors for his body and one of his wings. The half he gained from Burstinatrix was a long dragon like tail with spikes at the end of it and what looked to be a red dragon head for his right hand while his other hand had deadly claws (Atk: 2100 Def: 1200).
"Okay, what the heck did I miss?" Flame Wingman questioned staring at Crowler before he growled.
"Jay-bear has to beat this evil ugly clown." Knospe informed the older HERO monster. "He called him a Naive rookie." She added.
"He did what now?!" Flame Wingman glanced over his shoulder at his master and Yubel. "Is this true?"
"Oh yeah and since I'm not able to snap his neck…" Yubel rolled her eyes. "Burn him alive."
Jaden chuckled nervously at that. "Yubel, let's not start acting like Haou." He told her as he took the last card in his hand and placed it in his Field Spell card zone. "I active the field spell, Skyscraper!"
The entire field changed into that of a large city with a bunch of tall buildings or skyscrapers as from where the card got its name from.
Crowler, this whole time, looked to be holding back from laughing. "So let me get this straight, you brought back a weak monster just to have it fused with another weak monster just to summon a little bit stronger monster that still can't do anything to my Ancient Gear Golem. Then you played a field spell that hasn't lowered my monster's points by even just a little bit."
Jaden's eyes flashed to that of Yubel's just for a second from annoyance. Yubel noticed this and placed her hand on her shared soul partner's shoulder. "He's an idiot, Jaden; don't let him get to you."
Jaden took a deep breath before he let it out and smiled at Yubel. "Yeah I know, Yubel." He then looked back at Crowler. "For a teacher, you're not all too bright. Yeah I know that Skyscraper doesn't take away your golem's attack points but it does raise Flame Wingman's by 1000 if he battles a monster who's stronger then him. Oh and look, you're golem's stronger by 900 more points." Jaden grinned while Crowler paled.
"Wait time out!"
"Bye bye, ugly clown." Knospe said waving bye with her rose bud hand.
"Flame Wingman, if you would do the honors?" Jaden asked looking up at one of his favorite fusion monsters as his attack went up (Atk: 2100-3100 Def: 1200).
"Oh it would be my pleasure, Jaden." Flame Wingman replied as he jumped into the air and his body engulfed in flames before he dove down at the giant golem, smashing it into pieces when he slammed into it. Crowler just stood in horror as this all happened.
"Oh and I almost forgot. Thanks to Wingman's effect, you lose life points equal to your destroyed monster's attack points. Pretty sweet huh?" Jaden asked grinning while Yubel had her arms crossed over her chest with a devilish smirk on her face.
"No way…" Crowler mumbled before he looked up to see the pieces of his once great beast were now falling right onto him. Crowler screamed as he was buried under.
(Jaden: 1800 Crowler: 0)
"And that's game. Thanks for the sweet match, teach." Jaden nodded to Flame Wingman before the monster disappeared.
"Bye Jay-bear!" Knospe said smiling before she disappeared along with Wingman since the match was over.
Jaden smiled at the plant monster before he looked at Yubel. "You didn't turn this into a Shadow Game, right?"
"I'm not Haou…speaking of the devil, he's up next." Yubel said gazing up to the stand to see the other Yuki watching them.
Jaden followed her gaze before he looked back at Crowler. "Have fun with my brother, teach." He said.
Crowler, who was now on the ground from after being buried, eyes widen when he heard that. "Wait…there's another one?!" He growled before an evil smirk formed on his face. "Oh don't worry, I will." He said to Jaden as the Elemental HERO Duelist left.
...
This is a waste of my time. Jaden beat this guy in only two turns. Can't I at least get somewhat of a challenge? Haou thought with a sigh as he ready his one of a kind duel disk that was black and gold and had an eye in the middle of it. He glanced over at Crowler who was staring at him with hate and revenge in his eyes.
A few minutes later as Jaden made his way back to the stands, Haou was called down to the same field and it turned out he was dueling against Crowler as well. Haou wasn't stupid. The idiot of a teacher just wanted to get revenge on him since Jaden made a fool out of him and because Haou was his twin brother, he was the closest thing he could get at the moment. Haou was kinda temped to turn this into a Shadow Game just so he wouldn't have to deal with this freak ever again once he won but with so many people around and Jaden plus Yubel watching his every move to make sure he didn't, Haou had to hold back but he didn't care. He just wanted this to be over with in one turn and that was what he was planning on doing.
"I still can't believe that slacker beat Crowler!" Chazz growled as he stared at Haou with just as much hated as Crowler was doing. "And now he has a brother that has to duel against Crowler too?!"
"So is…uh Haou was it…as good as you, Jaden?" Syrus asked looking at the younger twin who was now standing next to the small blue hair boy in the stands.
"Are you kidding me? Haou is dangerously good." Jaden answered and he wasn't kidding about the dangerous part either. When Haou was in one of his moods, it could mean life or death in a duel. That's why Jaden was keeping a close eye on his brother and so was Yubel.
(Haou: 4000 Crowler: 4000)
"Since I seen what your brother can do, I'm going to start things off this time." Crowler declared as his duel vest give him his first card. "First, I'm going to summon Red Gadget in attack mode!"
A red robot looking machine type monster with a white gear on his back appeared on Crowler's field (Atk: 1300 Def: 1500).
"Now thanks to his effect: when he's summoned to the field, I can add a Yellow Gadget to my hand." The doctor did just that before he continued his move. "Next I play the Continuous spell card, Gear Town! Now every time I have to tribute a monster to summon an Ancient Gear type one, that cost is reduced by 1!"
Haou narrowed his eyes at all of this. He knew what Crowler was playing to do and the only way he could do it was by playing one card.
"Now I play the magic card, Double Summon!" And there it was. "With it, I can play another normal summon this turn so I'm going to sacrifice my Red Gadget to summon out Ancient Gear Gadjiltron Dragon in attack mode!"
Haou watched as Crowler's gear monster disappear and what replaced it was a giant dragon made up of metal and gears like his golem that let out a threatening roar (Atk: 3000 Def: 2000).
"Crowler's summoned another powerful rare monster and just on his first turn too!" Alexis gasped.
"He must really want to destroy this kid for what his brother did." Zane guessed.
"Wow, Haou in some deep trouble." Jaden mumbled before he let out a sigh of relief. "At least Crowler can't attack his first turn..."
"And don't you think I'm done yet! I play the spell card, Quick Attack! This spell lets me attack during the first turn! Gadjiltron Dragon burn away this slacker's life points!" Crowler ordered which then his metal dragon breathed out a ball of hot burning gears. Haou didn't do so much as defend himself as the attack hit him fully on.
(Haou: 1000 Crowler: 4000)
"And since Gadjiltron Dragon was summoned with Red Gadget, you loss 400 more points since he dealt battle damage to you." Crowler burst into laughter like a mad man as Haou's points dropped some more.
(Haou: 600 Crowler: 4000)
"Are you done yet?"
Crowler stopped his laughter when the smoke cleared away from his dragon's attack to show that Haou hadn't so much as flinch from the attack. Crowler said nothing since he was too shocked for words and so was everyone else in the stand beside Jaden.
Crowler, you just signed your death note by doing all of that. Jaden thought before he looked at his brother who just stood there, calmly...to calmly.
"I take your silences as a yes." Haou said as he drew from his demon like duel disk. "I hope you like damage since you're about to get a heck of a lot of it." He took a card from his hand and held it up. "I play the card that you wish was never created, Dark Fusion."
Darker versions Elemental HERO Avian and Elemental HERO Burstinatrix appeared on the field but instead of fusing to create Elemental HERO Flame Wingman, they created Evil HERO Inferno Wing, the fiend from this morning who had a pure evil smirk on her face (Atk: 2100 Def: 1200).
"Dark Fusion…and what's that thing? Shouldn't they have turned into Flame Wingman like during your duel, Jaden?" Syrus asked looking at the twin of the dark duelist.
"Dark Fusion is a card that turns good guys into bad guys. Long story short, Haou likes to turn my Elemental HEROES into what they hate most, Evil HEROES." Jaden answered frowning. "And if I know my brother, he's going in for the kill…"
"This isn't going to end well for the cross-dresser." Yubel said in the back of Jaden's mind.
"Next, I'm going to equip my fiend with two card; Vicious Claw and Black Pendant." Haou continued as he placed the two equip cards into his duel disk. Right after he did that, one of Inferno Wing's green claws was replaced with that of a metal claw and a black chain necklace appeared around her neck. "Vicious Claw gives Inferno Wing 300 more attack points while Black Pendant gives her 500 more points." (Atk: 2100-2900 Def: 1200)
"You're still short by just..." Crowler shut up when the field spell zone of Haou's deal disk opened up.
"You didn't learn anything from your duel against my brother, did you? You really are pathetic." Haou said as he placed his own field spell in and right after he did, the field changed to a city like Skyscraper but this city was darker and most of the buildings were in ruins. "This is my own field spell, Evil City. Unlike Skyscraper, the attack point bonus of 1000 points is always there for my Evil HEROES and for each Elemental HERO that's in my graveyard, they gain another 100 points. I have two in my graveyard so add that all together and Inferno Wing gains 1200 points." (Atk: 2900-4100 Def: 1200)
"4100 attack points?!" Crowler gasped.
Haou pointed at Crowler, "burn him." He ordered in his normal voice which then Inferno Wing already evil smirk widen some more as she fired off a ball of blue fire known as Inferno Blast that sent the metal dragon into flames and destroyed it.
(Haou: 600 Crowler: 2900)
"And just like Flame Wingman, you lose life points equal to your destroy monster's attack points." Haou turned around and started walking off as Inferno Wing appeared in front of Crowler and burned the poor doctor with her blue flames as well.
(Haou: 600 Crowler: 0)
Everyone just stood in shock, even more so then after they saw Crowler get beat by Jaden. Crowler just got beat again but with an O.T.K. this time.
"What?! Two slackers beat Crowler?!" Chazz yelled.
"Wow, that last guy..." Alexis had no words to say. "That was over kill…"
"Elemental HEROES and Evil HEROES? Those twins are something else." Zane mumbled.
Crowler grunted after the attack hit him. The doctor had a few burns on his face but nothing to life threatening. You slackers might be in but I'll make sure that you're be out of this school before this year is over. He vowed.
Haou made it back to the stands and took a sit next to Bastion who was staring at him in amazement. Haou ignored the stare as he glanced up at his younger twin. "Can we go now?" The Evil HERO duelist asked.
Jaden couldn't help but chuckle at his brother's question as he threw an arm around his shoulder. "Yeah, you wish." He laughed while Yubel was watching them a little bit ways away.
Well this is going to be an interesting year. The guardian of the Gentle Darkness twins thought with a smile.
This is where all the made up cards I had in this chapter will go at the end:
Evil City-Field Spell-All "Evil HERO" monsters on your side of the field gain 1000 attack points; for each "Elemental HERO" monster in your graveyard, all "Evil HERO" monsters on your side of the field gain 100 attack points.
Picture: A dark city in ruins.
