"Chazz, are you sure you're feeling okay?" Jaden asked. Chazz snorted. "I'm fine! Now listen, there's something you need to know about that Crystal girl." he began. Syrus frowned. "You're just mad because she's staying with us and not you." he said a little defensively. Chazz glared at him. "I am NOT jealous that she's not staying with me, I'm glad! Now listen, Crystal's not who you think she is, she's a-"
"Enough! Do you know how much she's been through? Her parents died when she was five, and she's been with an abusive family ever since! She's had countless boys follow her everywhere she goes, and she hates it!! Her heart is still hurting from the death of her parents! So don't go insulting her unless you want a black eye Chazz!!!" Syrus shouted at him. Chazz stared at him in disbelief. After a moment of silence, Syrus stormed off grumbling something about Chazz not knowing anything.
He turned to Jaden. "Kind of strange behavior for the pipsqueak, huh?" Chazz hinted. Jaden, as usual, was completely oblivious. "This Crystal girl sounds sweet! I gotta go duel her!" he said excitedly. Chazz sighed. Maybe Alexis and Bastion would listen better.

Jaden stood up grinning. "Wow, you're good! I've never been beaten that fast!" he said facing Crystal. She smiled. "Well, that was one of the hardest duels I ever played, next to the one with Zane earlier, which I won also!" she said smiling. Syrus sighed. "Isn't she awesome?" he said dreamily. Chazz rolled his eyes.
"Doesn't this all seem suspicious to you?" he asked Alexis who was watching the duel. "That girl is so annoying! I can't believe she's better than me!!" Alexis said in unusual jealous tone. Chazz's jaw dropped. "And just look how Jaden's staring at her, she's so much prettier than me!" she continued in almost a wail. "I can't believe it! I'm going to my dorm to mope!" she declared before storming off. Chazz sighed wearily.
He tried Bastion next. "Isn't there something very odd about her?" he hinted again. "Hmm... she is quite… interesting." the British boy mused. "According to my calculations, there's only one logical explanation…." Chazz's eyes glittered with hope. "She's my soul mate!!" the Ra shouted ecstatically. Chazz fell in an anime style.

Zane (or Hell Kaiser if you prefer) stood in his dorm pondering the past duel. She beat him. No one (except for Aster) had every beaten him before. He couldn't believe it. He wouldn't believe it. He wasn't going to accept this. He wanted a rematch, and he wanted one NOW.He left his dorm in search for Crystal.
Zane's eyes blinked. He was lying on the ground with his duel disk in hand. "Wh-what happened?" he asked. "Are you okay? I didn't mean to beat you that bad!" Crystal exclaimed. "I-I'm fine." he said standing up. "Bro! Are you all right?" Syrus cried rushing to his brother's side. 'Yeah Sy, I'm fine." He said.
Syrus's eyes shone so bright it was like someone had turned on silver light bulbs in his sockets. "You're better than all right, you're yourself again!!" he cried happily. He then turned his attention to Crystal. "She managed to turn Zane back to good, and she's a great duelist. She's even better than I thought!" he said to himself.
Meanwhile, Chazz was banging his head against the wall repeatedly in hopes to forget this ever happened.
