Author's Note-Hey, sorry I haven't updated, it's my first fan fiction so I will try to update on an average basis, and it'll take some getting used to. I hope you enjoy, and really hope you review. Oh, and I don't add original cards to the list at the bottom if I already introduced them in another chapter, so try to pay attention, thank you.
Chapter 2: Father Doesn't Approve
At a Plane soaring over the Pacific Ocean
"Why didn't you tell me!" Karyn squealed.
"I didn't think it was that big of a deal. You've asked me at least 20 times, you can give it a rest." Draezil answered standing up to look at the room they were in.
They were located in a cabin that was on the passenger plane transporting them to an island in the Pacific. It situated of two beds separated by a small wall with curtains in front, and a couch.
"You're a freaking Prince! How is that not a big deal! Friends have to let each other know this stuff." Karyn said jumping up to meet eye level with Draezil, giving him a slight glare with a smile.
"Okay, fine, from now on I'll be sure to try and tell you these things. But for now can we focus on the right now, like the plane or the island we'll be living on." Draezil said jumping back.
"Ohmagod! Your right! Can you believe we're lucky enough to go to the New Age Dueling University?" Karyn exclaimed jumping in their cabin.
"Huh? I thought it was University of Dueling," Draezil responded in a confused look.
"No no no, you see, there are numerous universities, so they go ahead and use that name as a more vague term. We get to go to the special New Age University", Karyn explained wagging her finger back and forth.
"What's so special about this school?" Draezil answered with an uncaring yawn.
"Didn't you do any research before you came here? New Age is one of the few dueling schools that focuses on Turbo Duels as well as any others. Of course you have to either be rich, or a good duelist to qualify for those, which I suppose you qualify for." Karyn commented as Draezil gave out a sigh.
"I left in a hurry," Draezil said before a deep grumble came from his stomach. "Why don't we order some food, we won't land for another 2 hours.", the Prince said as he walked out of the room, Karyn following.
"Good idea, I'm in the mood for some ice cream. Maybe a sandwhich.", Karyn said to herself, imaging the foods in her head as she licked lips.
Looking back at Karyn, Draezil responded saying "Nobody eats sandwhiches with ice cream, they just don't mix, at least in my opini-" was all he could say before he crashed into another person walking by.
The person was female, about 5 foot, 6 inches, with long wavy brown hair that reached a little past her shoulders. She wore a buttoned up with a tight blue shirt that exposed her midriff, with blue jeans and heels. She wore glasses and had yellow eyes. Her breast were large, about D cups, which was noticeable considering she fell with her breasts landing right in Draezil's face.
"Oh my goodness I apologize," the girl said, lifting her face, still sitting on Draezil's legs.
"Lucky lucky you Draezil." Karyn laughed, as Draezil's eyes spun around, either from the impact or the girl's chest.
"He-hey that's unfair. It was a-an accident." Draezil said from the floor, in a woozy fashion.
"What?..uh, oh," the girl said, blushing from realizing what just happened, as she rose off of Draezil. "I'd say sorry if I didn't think you enjoyed it", she said with a wink, and her tongue stuck out, brushing off her earlier blushing. "My name's Andrea Markella. Gahh my cards!" Andrea exclaimed, picking up the cards she realized she dropped when she collided with Draezil.
"I-it's alright. Pleasure meeting you," Draezil said as he stood up, eyes still spinning.
"Yup, quite the pleasure from the looks of it. So what are your names?", Andrea said with a smile, finished picking up her cards.
Draezil answered, "I'm- "My name is Karyn, and this is Draezil the Prince," Karyn said, cutting Draezil off with a smirk.
"Prince, huh? Well, why don't we talk until we land, get to know each other." Andrea suggested.
"I think that's a fine idea.", Karyn said, Draezil agreeing.
…..
A few hours later
The Plane had landed onto a large island that looked liked it had a little bit of every landscape known to man. There was once building nestled close to each other near where they landed, If that is what you would call them. The building was a Pyramid in design, but in a high tech fashion, made of chrome-like materials that changed color from bottom to top. Starting at bottom of a pure white, as it made it's way to silver, and a pure dark near the top, all of the colors shining. The building was a traditional pyramid, in the sense it's sides were not flat but seemed to be in block layers, much like the originals, each "block" being a separate floor, about 15 high each. There must have been about 50 floors in total. Though the size of this pyramid was huge, it was merely a speck of the giant island, which had forests, small bits of swamps, not to mention a small volcano on the opposite side of the island where numerous industrious building were set up.
"So you're a 2nd year Stardust Silver?" Draezil asked while they descended from the plane onto the wondrous island.
"Yup, and I'm aiming for the top. Though being a 2nd year isn't as interesting as knowing a prince, but here it doesn't make too much a difference. I'm centered near the upper middle of that big old pyramid there. Well, at least that's where my room was last year. I'm sure you know by now there are 3 classes, Neo White, lowest rank, Stardust Silver, the middle, and Black Luster, the highest rank. At least these are the main classes. There are certain duelist who have proven themselves good enough to be singled out of the classes, get their own uniform, private classes, usually which are useless anyways, and even their own small building they sleep in. Aaand, fwoooooooh." Andrea explained, taking a deep breath after her long mouthful of words.
"Wow, you know enough to be a 2nd year." Karyn commented.
"Heheh, I didn't spend a year here not to know this. I know lotsa stuff, including some of the top duelists here, the cutest boys, girls, and how many fans I have." Andrea bragged, striking a pose to show off her slim figure and tight clothing, causing a few boys to look that way at her chest.
"You do know people are staring, right?" Karyn asked, with a sweat drop on her forehead.
"Hey, if you got the goods, you show em off. I can tell you're a little jealous, right?" Andrea said, leaning forward with a smile.
"What? No way. I just think it's a little demeaning. Right Draezil?..Draezil!" Karyn said blustered, before smacking Draezil who had been staring.
"Wh-what did I do?" Draezil said, wiping a little drool from his face.
"Hah, can't say I blame you- "There You Are!", Andrea tried to say before a commanding voice cut through the air.
"uh oh." Draezil said with a worried look on his face, as a helicopter came down, not far from the plane.
"uh oh? Why uh oh?" Karyn asked.
"Meet my dad, Lord Basilikos.", Draezil responded with a sense of fear on his face, while the girls both reacted with a confused face.
The Helicopter had landed down, as a tall man, whom we recognized as Lord Basilikos, with his unique garments, and spiky scarlet hair jumped off.
"To think you had gotten out of the castle, and all the way to this island is just ridiculous. I command you to come home right now." Lord Basilikos commanded with his deep voice.
"I told you, I'm tired of home! Why do you think I came here." Draezil responded, more serious than before.
"I'm confused, what's going on?", Karyn questioned with a bewildered look.
"I suppose he didn't tell you. He came here without my permission. He ran away from home, and now he has to return. He is a prince and heir, and must get back to his home to continue his studies and training for when he is to inherit the throne. He is the only child I shall ever have, so he has no choice." Basilikos stated, answering the woman in a polite yet commanding tone.
"Why do you think I left? Ever since mom died my duties suddenly flew through the roof, and I can't even play duel monsters without your permission." Draezil exclaimed, trying to overcome his father's sense of superiority.
"You are the Prince, and shouldn't be wasting your time playing children's card games! And if that is the only thing you understand, then I will convince you through it." Basilikos stated, revealing he had his own Duel Disk, one with a gold sheen, but a basic design.
"This is getting interesting." Andrea stated, as she sat down to a near rock to watch.
"Wait, your dad plays Duel Monsters too?" Karyn asked.
"My family used to play it before mom died, my dad used to use it to spice up diplomatic meetings, he even made it to the European Semifinals one year, however he hasn't played in ages." Draezil stated, almost as surprised as Karyn to see his father's duel disk.
Watching from further up the path was Professor Mecktenn. (Hmmm, this is quite the dilemma. However this is a family matter, which I should not get involved in…Of course watching this play out wouldn't be horrible), the professor thought to himself, smiling as he walked to get a better view.
"When I win, you will come home with me immediately, no buts," Basilikos said, readying his Duel Disk.
"No!" Karyn exclaimed jumping in front. "Draezil shouldn't have to leave if he doesn't want to! You can't just force him to leave. He's my new friend, and though I am overstepping my balance, it just isn't fair!" she continued, attempting to stand up for Draezil, who was somewhat astonished at this sudden outbreak.
"Awww, how cute. She doesn't want her crush to leave." Andrea said, before laughing to herself, causing Karyn to blush.
Unphased, by the comment, Draezil's father was somewhat hesitant before answering, scanning Karyn with great interest. "….Very well, me and my son shall duel, if he wins, he may stay, under certain circumstances." Basilikos said, sighing.
(I wonder what he was thinking, he rarely changes his mind once he's set on something), Draezil thought to himself. "Very well, let's get started." Draezil said, brushing his blue-red hair out of his face while loading his duel disk.
"….Please don't lose", Karyn said, with a pleading look in her eyes.
"I won't! Duel!" Draezil exclaimed as the life counters set up.
Draezil's Life Points: 8000 Basilikos's Life Points: 8000
"Since I am the father, I shall go first. Draw!" Basilikos stated. "I'll start by activating Simple Pawn's ability in my hand, to return a card in my hand to my deck to add another Simple Pawn to my hand, which I shall do twice. Then I'll summon it, using it's special ability to summon all other Simple Pawn's in my hand." Basilikos states, shuffling his hand around before summoning three warriors, with silver hair wearing extremely basic soldier-like leather armour with the chess piece pawn symbol on it. (Atk:1000 Def:1000) "With that I will end my turn." Basilikos continued.
Over near Professor Mecktenn, Shuga Tanran walked up. "I noticed the whole thing. I hope that little bastard gets his ass handed to him." Shuga commented angrily.
"You sure do not like Draezil, now do you?" Mecktenn questioned.
"Half my students are asking if they'd like to give me a class some time, because of my duel with that twerp. So yeah, I'm pissed.", the angry professor stated.
"I believe we'll be seeing more of him though." Mecktenn replied confidently with a smirk.
"Alright then, my turn to go!" Draezil said drawing his card.
"Come on Draezil, kick his butt! Show the old man who's boss," Andrea screamed, fully interested in what was going on.
(Please don't lose Draezil), Karyn thought to herself.
"Don't worry, I'll come out on top. Hah, heres a known combo for me and Karyn. I activate Arival of the King and send two Dragon Kingdom Priests from my hand to the graveyard to summon Drake, Lord of the Dragon Kingdom!(Atk:2700, Def:2500)" Draezil exclaimed as his familiar move brought forth his even more familiar armor clad monster, with his giant dragon tooth blade.
"Continuing, I use his effect to special summon Air Unit of the Dragon Kingdom(Atk:1000 Def:1000), and Princess of the Dragon Kingdom in defense position. (Atk:1000 Def:2000)" Draezil exclaimed as a long serpentine dragon and a woman appeared to the field. The woman had hair similar to Karyn, but longer and close to the color purple, with eyes to match, and wore a long sleeve shirt that exposed her midriff, and a long skirt, both made of dark blue feathers. Despite her feminine features, she wielded a long katana.
"Awww, it looks just like you Karyn, only a bit prettier." Andrea commented.
"He-hey! It doesn't look like me…that much…" Karyn said, blushing slightly.
"Just joking with you, let's get back to watching." Andrea commented, attention going back to the duel.
"And now I equip Drake with my Air Unit increasing his attack by 500 Attack points", as Drake jumped onto the serpentine dragon. "Plus, my two Priest's in the graveyard boost my Dragon Kingdom monsters by 300 Atk points for each one, total of 600 for each monster. Now Drake's attack is 3800, and Princess is 1600, not that it matters since she can't attack and is in defense. Now I'll activate Dragon Fang Gauntlets. I can only equip them to a Dragon Kingdom monster, at a cost of 500 Life points." Draezil said, as Drake gained purple gauntlets made of what looked like hollowed out fangs.
Draezil's Life Points: 7500 Basilikos's Life Points: 8000
"By equipping it to Drake, he can attack twice per turn! So go, destroy two of his Simple Pawns!" Draezil exclaimed, as he rode the monster to destroy two the two warriors.
Draezil's Life Points: 7500 Basilikos's Life Points: 2400
"Sweet, with one killer combo he took him down to so few life points!" Karyn exclaimed happily.
"You've activated my monster's effects, when their destroyed I summon 1 pawn token, so that makes 2 pawn tokens." He said as two chess pieces appeared. (Atk: 500 Def: 500)
"Hmm, I end my turn." Draezil said, satisfied with his move.
"Now you will see why I easily let my monsters in the positions they were in. I set my Simple Pawn in defense, and offer one of my Pawn Tokens to summon Queen of Pawns. (Atk:2400 Def:2000) As a woman with a simple white long sleeve shirt and skirt appeared wearing a white tiara, whom also had long white hair.
n it"Uh oh." Draezil said to himself, looking the new creature with hesitation.
"Why is he scared? His Drake is far more powerful." Karyn asked herself.
"Your about to see," Basilikos answered. " when Queen of Pawns is tribute summoned, I can offer 1000 life points to tribute all other Pawn monsters and destroy one card for each.", he continued as one Simple Pawn and Pawn Token got sucked up into a portal the queen created, and shot out what looked like small white bullets at Drake, Lord of the Dragon Kingdom and Princess of the Dragon Kingdom, destroying the Princess while the serpentine dragon took the hit for Drake.
Draezil's Life Points: 7500 Basilikos's Life Points: 1400
"My Air Unit of the Dragon Kingdom protects Drake at his own life, reducing Drake's attack down.(Atk:3300, Def:2500)." Draezil said, happy his monster survived.
"Since Simple Pawn was sent to the Grave, I can summon one more Pawn token in defense position.(Atk: 500, Def:500) And then activate Queen of Pawns second ability, to offer life points in intervals of 300 to summon one Pawn Token each, so I'll summon 3. (Atk:500 Def:500)
Draezil's Life Points: 7500 Basilikos's Life Points: 500
"And now here is where my fun begins. With enough life points to survive I can bring out the star of my deck. Allow me to mention my Queen of Pawn's is a tuner, and I have 4 level 1 Pawn Tokens. Thus I tune my Queen of Pawns to 2 of my Pawn Tokens to Synchro Summon King of Pawns!(Atk:3000 Def:2500)" He said as a large man with a white crown, vest, pants, jacket, hair, beard, and sceptre appeared to the field.
Although I made a mistake at the beginning of the duel letting you deal in so much damage, you have also made mistakes, such as you only have 1 card in your hand, so the chance of you making a comeback now is slim. I activate King of Pawns effect to offer my two remaining Pawn Tokens to have him gain 200 Attack points for each and then gain an extra attack until the end phase. (Atk: 3400 Def:2500) So now he is strong enough to destroy your Drake." Basilikos stated, as his monster pointed his sceptre at him, shooting a large beam out destroying him.
Draezil's Life Points: 7400 Basilikos's Life Points: 500
"And now I'll use his two extra attacks to hit you for 6800 points of direct damage." Basilikos stated boldly as his monster swooped in shooting two more large bursts of white energy towards Draezil.
Draezil's Life Points: 600 Basilikos's Life Points: 500
"And now I will set 3 cards and end my turn, my monster's attack returning to normal. (Atk:3000 Def: 2500)" Basilikos stated calmly.
"Oh no…Draezil! Find a way to win! If you don't I don't think I'll get to see you again!" Karyn shouted, hoping that Draezil could find a way through.
"I dunno, Draezil's in a tough spot. Sad to say I don't think we'll be seeing him after today. Shame, he almost made it to my hottie list with that hair of his." Andrea said, then thinking to herself, (please pull through, I actually kinda like you).
"It is nice you cheer for him, but the chance of him being able to pull through is slim to none, with one card in his hand, and one draw, he'd have to destroy my beast with those two, plus I can remove 1 Pawn monster from my graveyard to keep my monsters from being destroy by a spell or trap card effect. If he tries to destroy me by battle I can just activate my face downs." Basilikos stated in almost a sad fashion, disappointed way.
"Dad…Your style involves using your creatures as tools, to further yourself in a duel! But that isn't a good way to win." Draezil stated calmly.
"Of course, some people are pawns to be used, in real life, and in the game, how do you think I am this close to beating you right now?" Basilikos responded. "I understand you want to stay here with your friends, so if you want to win, do it for them. Only if you win will I let you stay.", he added in a sympathetic way.
"…yes sir… A wise man once said each card has it's own use in a duel, no matter what, and I'll prove that now! I draw!" Draezil said, gleaming happily at his new card. "Hah! I summon Solder of the Dragon Kingdom. He gains 500 Atk for each other Dragon Kingdom monster I have on the field, but that's not why he's here. I then activate Dragonic Persistence! This allows me to special summon one level 4 or lower Dragon Kingdom monster from my graveyard. I pick Princess of the Dragon Kingdom." Draezil said confidently as his monster reappeared. (Atk:1000 Def:2000)
"So, how will this help?" Basilikos questioned.
"If you payed any attention to me you'd know Princess of the Dragon Kingdom is a tuner.. I can tune my Princess to my Soldier to Synchro Summon Zarkea, Heir to the Dragon Kingdom!" Draezil exclaimed as a new and powerful warrior appeared, which was almost a different colored version of Draezil himself. He Scarlet Spiky hair with Dark blue tints at the end,a reverse of Draezil's hair, and wore Spiky armour that looked liked it was made from teeth and scales, and a large single sided sword with a grated edge that was about 3 feet long.(Atk:2300 Def:1700
"Now, I attack your monster!" Draezil exclaimed as Zarkea jumped up and rushed forward. "His Effect activates where you can't activate spell or traps untils the end of the battle phase."
"But his Attack isn't high enough." Basilikos said, confused.
"What is he doing!" Andrea and Karyn exclaimed at the same time.
"Hah! The idiot busted under pressure." Shuga said happily, walking up to join them.
"I disagree, Draezil just won the match." Mecktenn said, joining them with a smile.
"what?" the rest of the peanut gallery exclaimed.
"My Zarkea gains 300 attack for each Dragon Kingdom monster in my graveyard during the damage step, their sacrifices don't go to waste! Let's count them up, my 2 Priests, Air Unit, Princess, Soldier, and Drake. I count 6, increasing his attack by 1800!(Atk:4100, Def:1700) Meaning this duel is over!" Draezil screamed as Zarkea thrust himself forward followed by the images of his comrades, his aura increasing as he slashed right through King of Pawns.
Draezil's Life Points: 600 Basilikos's: 000
Winner-Draezil
"Ahhahah!yes!" Draezil continued to shout to himself.
"D-damn that kid. I will have him sent off this island, one way or another." Shuga said, walking away, leaving Mecktenn grinning.
"Draaaeeeziillll!" Both Andrea and Karyn scream as they pounced on him happily from different sides, essentially burying him alive.
"Hooraaay you get to stay here with us!" Karyn cried happily, hugging and pulling Draezil's head even further into her chest, before realizing, and while blushing pushing him into Andrea, replicating the scene on the plane.
"Hahah, you get embarrassed to easily," Andrea commented, squeezing Draezil happily while he struggled to breathe with Andrea's chest blocking his route to air, with other students watching envious.
"Just stop it," Karyn said, sill blushing while pulling Andrea off of Draezil.
"….I'm glad, congratulations, you can stay, of course on the conditions I said I'd make at the beginning." Draezil's father walked up and said happily.
"Your glad? What do you mean?" the young prince asked confused, finally being able to breathe.
"I decided your need to grow up by yourself, and you have proven you can do so by beating me. That, and your friend here, Karyn was it? I think she'd make a wonderful bride for you." Basilikos stated without a hint of sarcasm.
"wh-what?" Both Draezil and Karyn blushed, looked at each other and turned away, only this time both hid a smile from each other.
"Hahah, your dad reads you like a book Draezil… wait, but what is this about conditions?" Andrea asked, paying attention to some major details.
"Simple, I need you to take few extra classes here from some instructors I will send, primarily combat, extra geography. Oh and Professor Mecktenn, could I ask you a question." Basilikos stated, before diverting his attention to the nearby professor.
"Of course, what is it?" Mecktenn said, before Basilikos whispered something in his ear. "*chuckles*why yes, I think that can be arranged under the circumstances, as long as she agrees."
"Huh?she?" Draezil questions.
"Basilikos says he wants Karyn to keep watch on you to keep you out of trouble, so I'll arrange you two share a room." Mecktenn said, grinning.
"what-but that's against the rules isn't it?" Draezil said, blushing, looking at Karyn who had taken it better, while still blushing was trying to hide a smile.
"Awww, lucky. I don't get a room with a cute boy." Andrea complained with a sigh.
"It's not every day we have a King asking us to do favors." Mecktenn said.
"So, Karyn, is this fine with you, watching Draezil for me. Of course you will be compensated." Basilikos mentioned.
"Hmm, get to be payed, watch over Draezil..*blushes slightly*I think that'll be fine." Karyn answered.
Draezil smiled to himself while putting his cards back in his disk when he heard a noise… "We won.". He looked around suddenly, to no avail.
"This is what I mean when I say watch him closely,*chuckles*. Well then, I have to be off, I trust my son in your hands Professor, Karyn." Basilikos said, returning to the chopper.
"Since when was I the little kid here." Draezil complained with a sweat drop on the back of his head as his father left.
"Well, we have a week before classes start, so I'm gonna make the most of them. See ya guys later!" Andrea said running of, Professor Mecktenn leaving with her.
Draezil stood there looking at his Zarkea card, thinking to himself about the developments, about how he didn't have to worry about leaving, how he would be able to stay at the academy, with friends as well.
"Today's been a pretty good day," Draezil thought to himself.

Author's Note: Woo, that also took a while to writeI know it seems like I pushed the date thing at the end, but I think that'll open up some more comedic jokes later on. Next issue won't have a duel, but it will introduce a numerous amount of characters, including some that may seem familiar. Hope you enjoyed, and Please review, and give me some tips.
