A/N: Thanks for reading Chp. 1 People. I really appreciate the comments.
Higuchimon: Thanks for clarification. I still heard debates on what it is… so I just went with the STRONGEST most COMMONLY used monster. And it is my version of Season 4, and I couldn't really come up with a proper title yet… so I'll change it when I can think of one. But why would you read this if you like the original anyway? Confusing Thanks for the comment anyway!
Arisu Tsuranu: Thank you for your comment. Also, thanks for the suggestion, I did the Anonymous Reviews.
KiaraFay: Thank you, I'm planning on not disappointing then.
Chapter Two: Manjyome VS. Green Thunder
Judai lifted his head and shoulders to greet the people around him. He held his head, because his brain felt numb. He just remembered the lightning, the gymnasium, the lady in red with the radiant blue eyes. Then he got reminded for the Dark Armed Dragon card he was going against. He then felt numb again.
"Aniki," began Sho, but Manjyome held him back. The red lightning was joined by green lightning.
"Is the lightning… still going on?" asked Judai, his voice barely audible than a whisper.
"Yeah, it's green and red. Why?" responded Asuka in a worried voice.
"When Judai and us were in the gym, we all were attacked by a lady that emerged from the blue lightning." answered Sho. Asuka looked worried. She had never seen this happen at Duel Academia before.
"Judai protected us and made sure we were alright!" added Kenzan. Manjyome was the only one disinterested. He looked out of the window, watching the lightning.
"Man…jyome… they might come…for you…" mumbled Judai. Manjyome looked at Judai pitifully, and then went back to looking outside.
"I don't need help from the injured. You need to get your rest. If I need help, I'll go get someone who can walk and talk, rather than a bedridden person." snapped Manjyome. He walked out of the room furiously. Judai groaned and laid his head back on the pillow he was resting on.
"Manjyome… I'll go get him Judai." said Asuka sympathetically. She rushed out of the room into the hall.
"Judai, why is this happening?" asked Sho.
"To be honest," began Judai, mustering up all of the strength he could to speak, "I don't know."
Manjyome continued his brisk walk outside of the main Academia building. Soon, he heard Asuka's voice calling him from behind.
"MANJYOME!" yelled Asuka. He came at a stop. He turned around to Asuka's angry face.
"Judai is sick. All he was trying to do was help. But all you do is act like a jackass to him all of the time. Just because he gets the attention that you couldn't get. It's actually frustrating, Manjyome. We know your worth, but Judai gets more credit because he does bigger things Manjyome." said Asuka angrily. Manjyome looked like he had been slapped in the face by the girl.
"I… I don't know what you're talking about… " stated Manjyome blankly. He looked at Asuka with a burning passion to yell at her, curse at her. But he knew he couldn't. They had already established a good relationship, one that was like her and Ryo's.
Soon, green lightning hit the ground that separated the two. Asuka began to yell and Manjyome heard the screaming.
"Asuka! I'm coming!" yelled Manjyome. He ran over to her side and then the green lightning subdued. Manjyome huddled close to Asuka to protect her from the invader of the lightning. He then saw a 12-year old boy, watching them with interest. He began to laugh.
"Manjyome… your love for that girl is very amusing… why do humans love one another?" asked the boy. Manjyome felt violated because it seemed apparent the boy studied the two.
"Who are you kid?" asked Manjyome, wondering who was studing his life so intricately. The boy wore forest green shorts and had a white t-shirt on. He had emerald eyes that seemed to radiate green.
"I hope you like dueling, Manjyome, because I want to duel you!" yelled the boy. Asuka was confused.
"Asuka, go back in the main building and stay with Judai and the others!" yelled Manjyome. The boy was in no interest to see them fighting, he only wanted to duel Manjyome. He raised his arm and then a green duel disk appeared.
"It's time to duel, Manjyome! I've been waiting for the opportunity for a long time!" exclaimed the boy. Manjyome turned around and Asuka was running in the Academia's main building.
"Good luck, Manjyome!" she yelled as he turned back around. He saw a blue duel disk on his arm, and then inserted his deck he kept with him.
"Manjyome, I hope you are ready to feel the wrath of my deck!" yelled the boy.
"Whatever, pipsqueak! By the time this duel is over, I hope that you'll learn the power of Manjyome Thunder!" yelled Manjyome, proud and boasting his ego.
Manjyome: 4000
Boy: 4000
"Well, I'll go first, and you can address me as Verdes. Now, I can set three cards face-down and end my turn!" started the boy named Verdes. His cards appeared, holding a mystery that Manjyome would have to wait to see.
"I'll go," began Manjyome, drawing his card. He looked at his opponent's field and then wondered why would he play no monsters.
"I will summon a monster known as X-Head Cannon (1800/1500) in attack position! Now, I declare the attack of X-Head Cannon against your life points!" yelled Manjyome. A cannon with a spike-ball tail appeared on Manjyome's field. It pointed its lasers at Verdes, but he revealed a trap card.
"I use my trap card known as Forbidden Will. This allows me to discard two limbs of the Forbidden One from my hand in order to end your battle phase right now!" played Verdes. Manjyome was shocked that the boy had two of the five limbs needed to complete an automatic winning condition. The cannon from the machine was deflected by a black shield that covered the boy. He smiled menacingly at Manjyome.
"You have… Exodia in your deck?" asked Manjyome. The boy nodded while still smiling.
"You see, I hate working too hard for a victory. So that's why I play with Exodia. It's an easy win condition, and I don't even have to play monsters to defend myself, as you can clearly see. Now, are you just going to stand there or are you going to make a move?" responded Verdes. Manjyome looked frustrated. He knew that he couldn't lose this match.
"I'll set one card face-down and end my turn!" ended Manjyome quickly. Verdes drew a card and smiled.
"I activate my spell card known as Dark World Dealings! This card allows us to draw one card, then discard one card from our hand." played Verdes. Both players drew a card and then discarded one. Manjyome saw Verdes' discarded card was another Exodia limb.
"Now, I can activate the spell card, Foolish Burial! This allows me to send one monster from my deck to the graveyard. So, I send yet another Exodia limb to the graveyard!" continued Verdes. Manjyome was nervous. There were four limbs in the graveyard, and he didn't know what Verdes was up to.
"Now, I can set one monster in face-down defense position and end my turn!" ended Verdes. Manjyome drew his card and smirked.
"I'll summon Y-Dragon Head (1500/1600) and then I'll activate my Double Summon spell card to play Z-Metal Tank! (1500/1300) Now, by removing all three of them from play, I can summon the XYZ-Dragon Cannon!" summoned Manjyome. A tank-like machine appeared on the field, ready to blast its target. It point its lasers to Verdes and his monsters.
"I discard one card from my hand to destroy your face-down monster card!" continued Manjyome. The cannon destroyed the face-down card with ease, and Verdes smiled.
"The monster you destroyed was Sangan! This allows me to go through my deck and select a monster, like the head of Exodia!" declared Verdes. Manjyome looked scared.
"Attack with XYZ-Burst!" yelled Manjyome. The cannon fired its lasers at Verdes.
"Sorry, Manjyome, but I do have two trap cards. They're known as Backup Soldier. They allow me to retrieve 2 Normal Monsters from the grave and add them to my hand. And unfortunately for you, I'm getting the four limbs of Exodia." responded Verdes. The cannon didn't make its target and the duel had ended. Verdes held up the five limbs of Exodia. Manjyome hit the ground and got on his knees.
"I'm sorry Manjyome, I thought you would duel better than that! Looks like I should have gone after a stronger opponent!" bragged Verdes. Manjyome gritted his teeth. He was never appreciated, never respected by anyone.
"Get up and stop being pathetic. If you at least lose, lose with dignity! Now, if you don't mind, I have a duel with Yuki Judai to attend to!" snapped Verdes. He passed by Manjyome and kicked his whimpering body. Manjyome fell to the ground as his victor passed him by.
"Oh, here's your punishment as well, Manjyome!" yelled Verdes. Green lightning came down from the heavens and struck Manjyome. He cried out as there we no one to help him. No one was there to push him out of the way. No one to comfort him. People hated him that much, except Asuka. And as he sat there, helpless injured, on the brink of death, he couldn't help but think of Asuka. The person he carried so much respect for, not even here to pick up his remains.
"Asuka…" mumbled Manjyome. He sat on the cold, Academia ground, pondering how long it would take him to recover, or to die.
