Chapter 2: The Lovely Duelist: Hayley Dupree"I wonder who this Hayley Dupree is?" wondered Jaden.
"She's ranked in the top five freshmen this year, she's said to be a very good duelist," came a voice from behind them. Jaden, Syrus and Alexis turned to see Bastion Misawa walking towards them.
"Great, I could use some competition," cheered Jaden.
"Woah, who is that?" asked Chazz who had come up next to them and was staring down at the arena.
"WHO is that?"
"WHO IS that?"
"WHO IS THAT?"
The question was asked all over the testing zone and stands, for out in the arena was a girl, but she wasn't just any girl. She had beautiful blue eyes, lily-white skin and ebony-black hair that fell just past her bum. It had a natural wave in it and had three pink streaks running through it and a single, curly bang in between her eyes. She was wearing a light-pink top with dark pink trimming around the edges and the collar and her pants were the same light pink with the same dark-pink trimming on the cuffs. She also had dark-pink, sleeveless gloves and light-pink sneakers. In her hair was a star shaped, pink and purple flower and on her left cheek was what looked like a tattoo of a wisteria.
All in all every boy was staring at her but there was only one boy that she was looking for, 'Where is he?' she wondered and then spotted him, Bastion Misawa. She deliberately waved at him and Bastion who'd been like all the other boys, staring at her, jerked back and then blushed, Chazz nudged him and he gave a feeble and awkward wave back, the girl grinned.
"Miss Dupree, are you ready for your duel?" asked the Procter.
"Yes sir," said Hayley, turning to face him and activating a pink duel disk with red trim and a purple star with light pink points and a smaller, pink star inside it on the top of her disk.
"Duel!"
"Let's feel the magic!" said Hayley and she drew her card.
H: 4000
P: 4000
"I summon a pure one, Sunlight Unicorn in attack mode!" said Hayley and a beautiful white unicorn with a flaming blue mane and tail and a blue horn appeared on the field. (SU 1800/1000)
xxxx
"Unicorns?" I haven't heard of anyone playing a deck like that before," said Jaden.
"Hmm," said Bastion, watching her closely.
"Something wrong Bastion?" asked Alexis.
"Not really, it's just that she reminds me of someone," he replied and everyone looked on with interest, who did Hayley remind Bastion of?
xxxx
"She has an effect, once per turn I can look at the top card of my deck and if it's an Equip card I can add it to my hand but if it's not then it goes to the bottom of my deck," she explained and drew. She grinned when she saw her card.
"It looks like I'm in luck, I got an Equip Card and I'm now going to play it, I play Horn of the Unicorn and I equip it to my Sunlight Unicorn and she now gains seven hundred attack and defense points," (SU 1800/1000- 2500/1700)
"I now play one card face down and end my turn," said Hayley.
"I summon Tiger Axe in Defense Mode and end my turn," said the Procter. (TA 1300/1100)
"I draw and I summon Wattlemur in Attack Mode," said Hayley and a cute Lemur appeared with electricity around it. (Wl 800/100)
"I'll activate Sunlight's ability and draw a card and if it's an Equip card I can add it to my hand," Hayley said and she drew, "Yup it's an Equip Card and now I add it to my hand. Now I'll play Double Summon, I can now summon again this turn and I'll summon Wattgoldfish in Attack Mode," she said and smiled to see the goldfish on the field. (100/0)

"Why does she want to summon such weak monsters?" asked Jaden.
"Hey, no one asks you that when you summon Winged Kuriboh," said Bastion, feeling defensive of Hayley for some reason.
"Chill Bastion," said Jaden holding his hands up defensively.
"He's right though, you shouldn't say something like that if you yourself do it," said a voice and everyone looked to see the boy who had just dueled walking up to them. "As for why she's summoning weak monsters, it's because the new monsters she has, the Watts, have strong Special Effects that make up for their attack and defense," he explained.
"You're Craig Thresher, the one who just dueled right?" asked Bastion and got a nod in conferment.
"That's me," he said.
"Hey guys, let's watch the rest of the duel," said Syrus and everyone turned back to the duel.
xxxx
"Ok, now I'll play this card, Wattcure and when a Thunder Type monster I control inflicts Battle Damage to my opponent's Life Points I gain Life Points equal to the damage inflicted. Now, Wattlemur, attack Tiger Axe!" commanded Hayley and everyone gasped.
Xxxxx
"If she does that then her monster will be destroyed! Why?" asked Syrus.
"It must have an effect that can only be activated if it's destroyed," said Bastion remembering what Craig had said about the Watt monsters having powerful effects.
Xxxxx
Tiger Axe destroyed Wattlemur and Hayley lost Life Points.
H: 3500
P: 4000
"Now that you've destroyed my monster his effect activates and you can't perform your Battle Phase in your next turn," said Hayley with a grin. "Now Sunlight Unicorn, destroy Tiger Axe!"
Sunlight Unicorn's horn pierced through Tiger Axe's armor and he burst into pixels.
H: 3500
P: 2800
"Now, Wattgoldfish, attack his life points directly."
Xxxxx
"What's the point? I'll only do one hundred points of damage," said Jaden and Bastion glared at him.
"It has an effect she wants to use I guess," he said crossly.
Xxxxx
H: 3500
P: 2700
"Now, here's her effect, when Goldy inflicts Battle Damage by attacking your Life Points directly you select one card in your hand and discard it and since Goldy is a Thunder Type monster and she inflicted damage I gain one hundred life points thanks to Wattcure," said Hayley, grinning as she gained Life Points.
H: 3600
P: 2700
"I end my turn with a facedown," she said.
Xxxxx
"You see Jaden, she had it all planned out," said Bastion smugly, he didn't know why he was acting like this over a girl he didn't even know but he didn't really care.
"She's as good as they say," muttered Craig.
"Hey Bastion, any idea of who she reminds you of?" asked Alexis.
"Well, I can tell that she likes battle and she certainly does the unexpected in order to gain the advantage over her opponent but I still can't put my finger on it," he replied.
"Hmm," said Alexis.
Xxxxx
"I draw and I summon Copycat in attack mode!" A man with a mirror appeared on the field, (C 0/0) "Now his ability activates, when he's summoned I can select one of my opponents monsters and Copycats attack and defense become equal to that monsters attack and defense and I choose your Sunlight Unicorn. (C 0/0 - 2500/1700)
"Now Copycat, attack! Destroy Wattgoldfish," ordered the Proctor but Hayley smirked as the attack didn't go through.
"Hey, what's going on?" asked the Proctor.
"You forgot that you can't conduct your Battle Phase this turn due my Wattlemur's effect, remember?" asked Hayley and the Proctor wanted to sink through the floor in embarrassment and he ended his turn by playing two facedowns.
"I play the trap, Torrential Tribute from my hand, which destroys all monsters on the field," said Hayley and Sunlight Unicorn, Wattgoldfish and Copycat were destroyed.
"Here goes my next move," said Hayley but before she could do anything else the Proctor activated one of his facedowns, Monster Reborn and brought back Tiger Axe in Attack Mode. (TA 1300/1100)
"Well now, that fits in nicely with a monster I have," said Hayley.
"What?" asked the Proctor.
"I now summon a pure one, Phantomhorned Beast Phypocorn in Attack Mode!" (1400/600) "When you control a monster and I control no monsters I destroy one set Spell or Trap and I choose your facedown," said Hayley and the Proctors Trap, Negate Attack, was destroyed.
"Next I'll play another Double Summon, which allows me to summon one more time this turn and I summon Key Mouse in defense mode!" (KM 100/100)
"Now for my next trick, I'm going to Tune my monsters together," said Hayley.
"Tune? Wait, you mean the new way of summoning monsters?" asked the Proctor in disbelief.
"That's right, so Key Mouse is a Level one Tuner Monster and my Phantomhorned Beast Phypocorn is Level four so I'll tune them together to Synchro Summon a pure one, Thunder Unicorn!" A blue unicorn with yellow lightning marks, an orange mane and tail and a long yellow lightning bolt horn appeared on the field, (TU- 2200/1800)
Xxxxx
"Synchro Summon!" cried Craig.
"What's that?" asked Jaden.
"I've never heard of it," said Alexis.
"I have, it's a new form of summoning a stronger monster, you tune a new type of monster, a Tuner monster which are levels one to four, though there aren't many level four Tuners, with another monster and their levels have to add up to the level of the monster you're summoning. In this case Hayley is summoning a level five monster. It's called Synchronizing or Synchro Summoning. Pegasus just created them, which is why they're not very well known yet," explained Bastion to the group.
"Wow, that's cool," said Chazz.
"Hey Bastion, do you have any idea who she reminds you of yet?" asked Syrus.
"Well let's see, Hayley takes the risk; she has a thrill for battle, an unexpected twist every turn, and is always one step ahead of her opponent," said Bastion, trying to put it together and then he snapped his fingers, "Ah, now I remember who Hayley reminds me of! She reminds me of Taniya!"
"Taniya!" said everyone who knew her.
"Who's Taniya?" asked Craig.
"She's the Amazon I dueled last year."
"You know what? Bastion's right. Hayley does duel like Taniya," said Chazz, looking down at the girl.
Xxxxx
"Now, I'll activate his effect, once per turn I can select one of my opponents face up monsters and reduce its attack points by five hundred for each monster I control so there goes five hundred of Tiger Axe's Attack Points." (TA 1300/1100 – 800/1100) "Thunder Unicorn, destroy Tiger Axe, Thunder Horn!" ordered Hayley and a bolt of thunder came out of Thunder Unicorns horn and charred Tiger axe to pixels.
H: 3600
P: 1300
"Now I end my turn with a facedown," said Hayley.
"It's my move, I play another Monster Reborn to bring back Tiger Axe in Attack Mode and then I'll use Premature Burial, I pay 800 Life Points and then I can select one Monster Card from my Grave and Special Summon it to the field in Attack Mode. Come on back Copycat!" (TA -1300/1100) (C - 0/0)
H: 3600
P: 500
"Now I'll sacrifice these two monsters to summon Red Eyes Black Dragon in Attack Mode!" (2400/2000)
"I now equip my Red Eyes with Metalmorph and then I'll tribute it to summon Red Eyes Black Metal Dragon!" said the Proctor and a metal version of Red Eyes appeared on the field and let out a roar. (REBMD – 2800/2400)
"Ok, Red Eyes, destroy her Unicorn!" ordered the Proctor.
"Sorry but I play my facedown, a Trap called Scrap-Iron Scarecrow, I can only activate it when my opponents monster attacks then I can negate the attack and instead of this card going to the grave I can set it face down again," said Hayley.
"I play Goblin's Secret Remedy, I increase my Life Points by six hundred and I end my turn with a facedown," grumbled the Proctor.
H: 3600
P: 1100
"I draw and I activate my Unicorns effect and now your Red Eyes' attack points are reduced by five hundred." (REBMD – 2800/2400-2300/2400)
"Now I'll equip Horn of the Unicorn onto Thunder Unicorn and his attack and defense will now rise by seven hundred and if you're wondering why Horn of the Unicorn is here instead of in my graveyard it's because it gets sent back to the top of my deck instead," she explained, (TU – 2200/1800-2900/2500)
"Not so fast, I activate my facedown card, Mystical Space Typhoon, now I can destroy one Spell or trap on the field and I choose your Horn of the Unicorn," said the Proctor.
Hayley gasped as Thunder Unicorns power bonus went to the grave. (TU - 2900/2500- 2200/1800)
"Looks like I have to go to Plan B, I activate Magic Mine! I played this at the beginning of the duel, it can only be activated when my opponent destroys a Spell card with a monster, trap or spell effect, now we both take two thousand points of damage," Hayley explained and both she and the Proctor took damage, though Hayley won.
H: 1600
P: 0
"The magic has ended!" declared Hayley, waving at the cheering crowd, especially to Bastion who was cheering very loudly.
"Good job Miss Dupree, you've passed, congratulations, but are you sure of where you want to go?" asked the Proctor.
"Yes," she said firmly.
"Very well, Miss Dupree you have made Ra Yellow, I hope you enjoy your year at Duel Academy," said the Proctor and Hayley nodded.
"Why in the world would she want to be in Ra?" asked Chazz. No one could give him an answer.
Xxxxx
