"Your courses and academic points are set, Ms. Konami." I heard the squeak of his swivel chair as Professor Banner turned to me.
I was sitting on a folding chair in his… office/dorm room. The room was lit, but if the door wasn't open, I would have thought it was still night with how poorly it was lit. His desk was filled and crammed with papers, but he had enough sense to have only his desk cluttered and cramped with the rest of the room being quite well taken care off considering the conditions of the rest of the dorm. On further introspection, his desk must be cramped with how poor his living condition is but is still asked to work as hard as the other headmasters. I wonder if he really chose to be the Slifer Red headmaster even knowing all of this, and if he did, it speaks a lot about his character already.
"That's good to know. I hope my prospects would be good for future résumé."
"Ah yes, I've seen what your graduation plans are—so active for a freshman to already be thinking about their future jobs, but I also must cation you not to, 'count your chickens before they hatch' so to speak."
"I know, but the more I prepare the higher my chances are to impress my future employers."
Professor Banner seemed to nod and looked at his computer briefly. I spotted Pharaoh the cat walking up to him and I couldn't help but lean towards him with my hands out.
To my sorrow, Pharaoh hissed at me and I ended up flinching back.
"Bad Pharaoh! No! That's odd, he's usually so calm with everyone else!" Professor Banner turned around and picked up the large cat.
"It's fine." I said even though I kinda wanted to hug it.
"Back on topic, if you do well, your grades shouldn't be a problem. However, as your academic advisor, you may need some extra curricular activities outside your jobs to impress the company you wish to join."
I waited for him to explain more.
"You see, Ms. Konami, all of your jobs show that you can listen to rules. Jobs, like the one you're trying to go for, also look for leadership and management skills."
That makes sense, it's also good to be social adept for my future prospects.
"As such, I have an idea. Why not start and be the president of a club here in Duel Academy?"
"… A… club?" That sounds reasonable but… "A club about what?"
The first response to my question was the sound of a mouse clicking followed by Professor Banner's printer giving out a small packet of papers then handing them over to me, "That is for you to decide. I'm giving you the packet of instructions on how to create a club here in Duel Academy. I think it would be a fun idea to do."
I took the packet, thanked Professor Banner and left his office/dorm. The jargon looked simple enough, I just had to figure out what I wanted to do.
[Tag Force: Heroes and Villains]
It was a slow day at the card shop, so I was just looking at the packet I was given. I still had no idea what to put down—what kind of clubs could I even make? A game club? A bit redundant considering what school we're in. Some kind of sports club? I wasn't that athletic. An academic club is out of the question considering who I live near to. My problem was there was so much to choose from and I didn't know what to choose.
"Are you alright, Wilona? You sound like you're having a headache." Ms. Dorothy is always a sight for sore eyes. Despite being older, she always has a youthful smile and it's very welcoming at this point in my life.
I turned to her and explained that I wanted to start a club, I just didn't know what to make a club about.
"Hmm, usually you should make a club you feel passionate about. What do you feel passionate about, Wilona?"
"Money."
The reaction to my question was one… I should have expected. Ms. Dorothy just ended up laughing at me in a way that just meant I amused her. "Oh sweetie, you're just all work and no play!" After she said that, her eyes seemed to light up. I could tell she had an idea in her mind. "Actually, come with me for a bit, place a break sign on the counter."
I raised my brow but did as I was told. Soon, Ms. Dorothy was leading me down a part of school I hadn't traveled upon. By the looks of how empty it was, not many people did either.
"This is the southeastern wing of the main school." Ms. Dorothy explained. "During construction, this was the place many of the tools and building equipment were housed. Many of these doors we're passing by are storage rooms, but there's one in particular that I think you'll like."
As she said this, she stopped right in front of a door labeled, 2004. After fixing her key in, she opened it up…
But I couldn't quite see past the darkness of this room, but the air around me made me realize that it was as spacious as the giant classrooms of this building.
"This was where they kept all the instruments for a music program they never got off the ground." Ms. Dorothy flipped a switch and the lights started to open. It was as big as a classroom here in Duel Academy, but instead there were musical instruments everywhere, I could spot the likes of African Bongos next to American electric Guitars.
What caught my attention was this absolutely stunning, ebony-polish piano with intricate detailed pegs and designs placed at the center of the room in place where the teachers usually educate students.
"Is that, a Stienway Concert Grand Piano?" It took me a second to realize I wasn't even breathing before I finally gasped for air and went closer to the majestic piece of art.
It looked so… authentic. Was it? Oh my god, it's the bloody real thing!?
"It seems like you know your pianos." Ms. Dorothy's voice calls me back to earth and I remember where I am.
"Do you even realize a piano like this is around 100,000 US Dollars!? It's elegantly carved Rococo-style scrolled legs and ornate foliate details are ebonized, producing a striking contrast against the case, while the pierced and carved music rack and pedal lyre further display the masterful construction and design elements!"
I heard Ms. Dorothy laughing again. "I take that back, you studied these kinds of pianos." I could feel heat rising from my cheeks when she did that, I didn't really like people getting to know me.
But wait, if it was just one instrument did that mean…
It didn't take me long to look through all the other instruments here, even the electric guitars and bongos seemed to be state of the art equipment if not kept in great condition.
"Can… Can I…?" Once more, I found myself going back to the piano at the center. I looked to Ms. Dorothy and pointed to the empty and slightly dusty seat.
"I'm not going to stop you," She said before winking. "I don't think I even can."
I was opening the piano before she could finish. Just one press of a key and…
…
…
The note sounded so nostalgic. At that point, I ease into it and let my fingers and muscle memory do all the rest.
…
…
I heard the sound of clapping and I froze at what I was doing. I could feel heat rising from my cheeks as I saw Ms. Dorothy clapping wildly.
"That was so beautiful, my dear. I had no idea you knew how to play Liebesträume!"
"I… practiced a lot when I was five to nine. I'm honestly surprised I can still play..." I closed the lid on the piano.
"Well that just proves it! Why not start a music club here in Duel Academy?!"
A music club… I admit that it does sound quite enticing. Also, I might be able to have mum…
I inhale before looking over towards my boss. "Yes, thank you Ms. Dorothy. I think I'll start a music club."
To my surprise, Ms. Dorothy walked up to grab my hand and place something in it. When her hand left, I saw that it was the key to this room.
"I think you'll do wonderful, Ms. Konami." With a wink, Ms. Dorothy leaves through the same way we entered, the back door of this room, leaving me alone in this treasure trove.
To my left, I noticed I left my packet atop the music sheet area of the piano. I pick up the packet once more and as I look over it, I realized there was a paper I missed about membership.
…
"Oh you have got to be bloody joshing me!"
[Tag Force: Heroes and Villains]
I lost another duel to Jaden; he's just so good! With the promotion exams coming up soon, it's more than likely he's just going to leave me behind and head to Ra Yellow!
"Great game, Sy, we should do another round!" I so envy his attitude of never giving up! And then there's me...
"How can you guys even duel when it's lunch time?" Chumley was up—which meant that we really were late this morning if he's already getting up for his lunch time.
"I guess we'll take a break." Jaden started to clean up his deck and I was about to do so too when we heard knocking on out dorm door.
I went up to see who it was and I opened up the door—
"Ah, Truesdale!"
SLAM!
Ohnoohnoohnoohnoohno! Not her!
"Sy?" Jaden and Chumley were looking at me weirdly. "Who was at the door? And why did you suddenly slam it and are now trying to barricade yourself against the door?"
I was about to warn him, until my ears betrayed me by picking up… that.
"You've grown guts, Truesdale," My heart dropped to my stomach when I still heard her voice through our poorly maintained door. "A shame it's serving your poorly this minute."
"Kyyaahahh!?"
"Syrus! I didn't know you scream like a girl." Faster than even I could process, I was already hiding away from the door behind Chumley. He was the perfect place to hide behind—I bet even Jaden and I could fit behind him!
"Yeesh, buddy, I've never seen you move so fast!" I peeked out to see Jaden—
"No, don't open that door!" I was too late as Jaden opened it before I could fully warn him.
"Huh?" He looked towards me for second, then looked out the door to see Wilona looking at us with a smile on her face that was exactly like the time she blackmailed us!
"Oh hey, Wilona, what's up?" How can Jaden be so chill with someone who can get expelled!?
"Yuki, a pleasure as always. Say, I need you and Truesdale to do me a particular favor. Does Mr. Huffington wish to come along?"
"Yes! Sure! Whatever!" I've never seen Chumley stand so straight up before—then again he must be afraid because of all those things we told him about Wilona.
"Splendid," She took out… pieces of papers? And then she handed them to Jaden. "Could you sign these please?"
Oh no? Are those waivers for our will? It's finally happened, she's planned our elaborate murders and is planning to rob us blind—
"Club membership?" Me and Chumley look back to Jaden after he read that out loud. He then looked to Wilona. "You're in a club?"
"I'm starting a club, yes, and I would very much like all of you to join it."
Is it some kind of club of evil schemes and future world dominators?
"What's it about?"
Jaden don't ask that! She might laugh evilly and… and… is she… blushing?
"What?" Jaden put a hand on his ear. "What was that?"
Wilona sighed and folded her arms. "I'm starting a music club, and I need members. According to the papers, in order for a club to be recognized, I need the following: 3 members of each dorms which means I need 3 Slifer Reds, 3 Ra Yellows, 3 Obelisk Blues, and 3 Females from the girls side—which I find rather annoying." The red cap wearing girl raised a hand out of her fold, "But I knew that I could at least fill out the Slifer Red quota first."
Jaden seemed to hum and focus more on the paper than any homework I've ever seen him work on. "I don't know about this. If I joined a club, I'd have less time to duel."
I felt my heart skip a beat for a scary reason when Wilona narrowed her eyes at J's response. "Yuki, either accept the well-mannered way, or I'll use the unorthodox method involving a recording audio."
And then I realized we didn't have a choice at all.
"Okay, but is there a chance like you have an electric guitar? I wanna rock out!" How is Jaden still so relaxed around Wilona? She's like an evil Disney Queen with her dark glares and fake smiles!
"Yes, there is one in the club room I was lent. If you joined, you could have access to play it."
Jaden gasped at the mention of that. "Why didn't you say that first!? I'm definitely in even without the threats!" No! Jaden! You're the only one who can say no to her!
Wilona turned and made a motion for us to follow her. "Well come on, it's too cramped in the Slifer Dorms to talk about my plans for this club."
"Right on! I can't wait to rock and roll! Come on guys!" Jaden please… oh who am I kidding, my school life was ruined the moment I stepped in here.
[Tag Force: Heroes And Villains]
Wilona finished writing on the White Board and pointed to the circle up word, "Membership".
"Alright, so here's the deal. I set up a club and I need the following: A President, Vice President, Treasurer, and Representative. For now, since the club is still being built, Yuki is the Vice President, Huffington gets to be Treasurer, and Truesdale is the Representative."
Jaden, who was toying with a ukulele in his hands, looked up from his folding chair and smiled. "Whoa! Cool, I've never been a Vice President before, what do I get to do?"
"For now, nothing. We're not even official because we don't meet the minimum membership requirements. This is all temporary, and if any of you horse around, you're not keeping those designations."
"They have horses here in Duel Academy?" Jaden tilted his head in confusion, obviously taking the horsing around too seriously.
"Point is," Wilona continued while she eyed Chumley and Syrus who were still in awe at the emptier version of one of their class rooms. "We need members. The Slifer Red quota is filled, but I don't know anyone else from the other dorms who could fill out the three from the other dorms."
Syrus raised his hand, before realizing it wasn't a class and put it back down. "Why don't you get Chazz here? You blackmailed him too."
"Do any of you get along with him?" Wilona put her hands on her waist and the three Slifer Reds all gave varying responses from unwelcome groaning to unwanted groaning. "If I got him to come here that would be more detrimental for everyone involved in the long run. I know Princeton and Yuki here mix like oil and water, and forcing them in the same place that isn't dueling sounds like torture for everyone involved."
They may not be the most academically active members of the school, but they could see the logic in Wilona not inviting(forcing) Chazz to join her club.
"So, I ask again," Wilona continued, "Do you know anyone else from these dorms?"
Syrus put a hand on his chin. "Well, Bastion's pretty cool. Maybe he might join the club?"
Wilona opened her marker and turned her back on the three. "What's his name?" After being told the full name of the Ra Yellow, she wrote it down under the group line of Ra Yellow.
"Any others?" She looked at the three before looking to Chumley. "Huffington, do you know anyone from your year?"
"No, and I'd like to keep it that way." The rounder man stated.
Jaden realized something as he noticed the girls section of the Obelisk Blue part. "Hey, why don't we ask Alexis! She's pretty cool."
"Rhodes?" Wilona repeated out loud. "I suppose it wouldn't hurt to ask, even though I believe how we met might lead to an awkward return." She did right her name down on the board and looked back to the three.
…
…
"Are those the only people you know?" Wilona's question was only met with silence. She sighed and put the marker down.
"We can ask those two if they want to join, and even if they say no, maybe they know someone who wants to join. For now, I'm guessing you all want to play the instruments?"
The boys were all quick to get excited over that. "Just don't touch the piano, it's worth more than all of us combined. Otherwise, if there's an instrument you want to play, I can help you set it up."
[Tag Force: Heroes and Villains]
"I'll visit Rhodes while you three can go ask Misawa." Those were Wilona's words before their club meeting ended.
Wilona walked into the Blue Girl's dorm, unlike everyone else, she wasn't banned from entering mostly because she was a girl and she could use her official status as an employee to be there as an excuse.
She was expecting the usual stigma because she was wearing red.
What she was not expecting was the fact the Girl's Dorms was suddenly like a ghost town even though she was here not too long ago trying to bail out Syrus and Jaden.
Wilona walked through the front entrance but was surprised there was no one there.
"Huh? You?" Wilona turned around, seeing Alexis walking through the entrance, implying that she was out of the dorms and had just recently returned. "You're… Wilona right?"
"Hello, Rhodes," The Slifer Red Girl greeted before looking around. "Um where are the rest of the girls in the dorm?"
"I was about to ask you that question." Alexis looked around, also surprised at the severe lack of people in her own dorm. "I was going somewhere personal and when I came back I saw you and only you in the entrance of the dorms."
Alexis took a second before walking into her dorm with Wilona walking after her.
After they walked up the stairs, the blonde Obelisk Blue turned to the Slifer Red "Hey wait a second, why are you here?"
"I was about to ask you—"
Wilona wasn't able to answer with an explosion sound coming from outside at the back of the dorms. The two followed the sounds and spotted a large crowd gathering around what looked to be a duel.
Alexis and Wilona walked forward to the front of the crowd, to Alexis' surprise two of the people dueling were Mindy and Jasmine!
She was about to call out until an attack came from the other side and exploded, causing the two girls to get knocked back by the shock wave and their life points hit zero.
"Mindy, Jasmine!" Alexis cried out before Wilona ran after her.
Alexis ran up to Jasmine who was slowly getting up. "Jasmine, what happened?"
"Like—they thought they were hot—but like they were totes not!"
"If it wasn't for the fact there was only one dorm for girls, it's obvious that nearly everyone in this dorm deserves to be Slifer Red."
Alexis and Wilona looked up to the opposite side of the duel. Twins wearing specialized Obelisk Blue uniforms were walking up to them. (Specialized in the sense they were wearing actual pants.) One of the twins had yellow eyes and long silver hair that hung over her forehead in a messy fringe with two locks extending to chin length, while the back portion of her hair extended down her back and curled up in a bunch. She wore a sleeveless tight blue coat with a white front that is patterned with vertical lines and topped with blue curves; silver-lined grey shoulder pads over her coat, and black gloves that extended past her elbows. She had a more feminine touch with a lilac skirt with three diagonal black lines on each side over white leggings and black ankle-length heeled boots with silver heels and toes.
The other twin had red eyes, and had similar long blonde hair styled the same way as the silver haired twin. However her uniform almost looked more military like. She wore a tight blue coat with a white front that is patterned with vertical lines and topped with purple curves. She doned gold-lined grey shoulder pads over her coat, white elbow-length gloves, and a magenta sashes that curved over each of her upper arms and attach to her shoulder pads. This blonde twin also wore short blue shorts with similar patterning to the front of her coat and black cuffs over white leggings and thigh-high black boots with golden soles, upturned golden toes, and three diagonal magenta lines near each cuff.
"Who are you two!?" Alexis spoke as she stood up and glared at these two new girls that attacked her friends.
"Where have you been for the past hours we were beating everyone here?" The blonde twin shouted out and anyone could feel the arrogance in her voice. "We're the Tyler Sisters! I'm Gloria Tyler and this is my sister, Grace Tyler."
The silver haired twin flipped her hair. "We'd ask for your names, but like what does it matter? You're all so blah blah blah!"
"What are you two even doing here? Why are you dueling everyone?"
"Okay, not even those last two were that stupid, you really weren't here all day weren't you?" Aleixs bristled as the fact Gloria just insulted her friends again. "My sister and I got bored of all the slow pace of this place and we decided to challenge everyone here to a duel, it's too bad they all sucked. And people say Obelisk Blue is supposed to have the best duelists."
"Yeah," Grace, the sliver haired twin added along. "At this rate, I bet we can totes own the 'best' duelist in this school, Zane Truesdale." Grace even made air quotes as she said best.
"Truesdale?" Wilona repeated with some amount of confusion.
"Oh hey!" Grace looked and pointed over to Wilona. "There is a Slifer Red girl!"
Gloria folded her arms. "At least one of you is smart enough to know their place."
At this point, Alexis grunted and swung her arm. "Okay, I've had enough of listening to this! First of all, Zane's the best Duelist in the school for a reason, and there's no way you two walking-one-dimensional-bleached-blonde-valley-girl stereotypes have the skills to face him! Someone should put you in your place!"
"Oh this one actually has spunk!" Gloria folded her arms before her eyes narrowed. "It's too bad that besides that insult, no one's been able to 'put us in our place'."
Alexis looked over to Jasmine who already was way ahead of her and tossing her duel disk at the blonde. "Make those bitches pay!, Alexis!"
She wouldn't put it as crude, but Alexis had a similar feeling.
"Let's duel! So who's first!?" Alexis slammed her deck into the duel disk to face the Tyler Sisters.
"Look, I like your spunk and all, but here's the thing, we want to beat every duelist here and own the place." Gloria said before pointing a thumb at her sister.
Grace continued the point of her sister. "And like, since you girls weren't here before—you totes didn't know that one on one duels were way too slow. So it was much faster to beat everyone in two versus two tag duels!"
"A tag duel?" Alexis repeated.
"Well yeah! See we wanted to beat everyone, but like battling the same loser twice was so icky! Tag battles made everyone's lives so much easier; otherwise, it's just stupid."
Gloria spoke after Grace. "And we've already beaten everyone here except you and that Slifer Red. That's an even number between all four of us."
"So hurry up and like, get ready to get smacked down!" They both exclaimed while arming their duel disks.
Aleixs looked to her right to see Wilona with Mindy's duel disk. "I'm glad to know I'm not the only one who finds their voices like nails to a chalk board right?"
"Yeah, these no way we're letting bullies like these run around thinking they own the place." Alexis said this even though she was dueling next to someone who was blackmailing her own friends for her own gain.
However, what Alexis did know was that Wilona was the girl she saw that first entered into the Duel Academy entrance exams. She was there when Wilona barely knew how to use a duel disk.
But with the Tyler sisters, it looked like Alexis didn't have much of a choice in the matter when everyone else was activating their duel disk.
"DUEL!"
Alexis: 4000 LP
Wilona: 4000 LP
VS
Gloria Tyler: 4000 LP
Grace Tyler: 4000 LP
Turn 1:
"It's time to show you how it's done!" Gloria moved first, drawing her card and taking the first move. "I summon Amazoness Swords Woman in attack mode!" As she finished a fierce looking woman who could make bodybuilders feel small appeared into the field and swung a sword that looked as intimidating as she was.
Amazoness Swords Woman
[Type:Effect Monster/Sub-Type:Warrior/Attribute:EARTH/Level:4/ATK:1500/DEF:1600]
"I'll put two cards face down and end my turn."
Turn 2:
Alexis and Wilona looked at each other. "You go first, Wilona." The Obelisk Blue said.
"Alright then!" Wilona drew her card. It wasn't as flawless as everyone else, but Alexis did note it was better than her last duel. "I put one card face down in defense mode and one face down. I'll end my turn after that."
Turn 3: Grace Cards: 5
"What? You call that a turn?!" The silver haired twin mocked before drawing her card. "Let me show you how it's really done! I summon Amazoness Paladin in attack mode!"
A much more elegant but still powerful female warrior appeared into the field.
Amazoness Paladin [Type:Effect Monster/Sub-Type:Warrior/Attribute:EARTH/Level:4/ATK:1700/DEF:300]
"And's she got this totes awesome ability that allows her an extra 100 attack points under the player's control, but since this a tag duel and I'm sharing another field with my sis, it means she gains 200 attack points for herself and Swords Woman!"
ATK:1700→1900/DEF:300
"And I'll end my turn with one face down." Grace smiled as she put the card in her deck.
Turn 4: Alexis Cards: 5.
"Finally, since I'm the last round, we can now declare attacks on each other!" Alexis stated as she drew her card.
"Like, everyone here already knew that!" Grace shouted back while Wilona silently had her eyes widen with realization.
"Come on, Alexis, show those bimbos who's really the best here among the girl dorms!" Jasmine shouted before some of the other girls started cheering for Alexis but Alexis alone.
"Look at them, always cheering against us."
"This same old dance and song, and they're just going to lose like they always do!" Gloria responded to her sister's comment. They both seemed far too unbothered by the crowd.
"Well I'm starting off with Polymerization! This lets me discard Blade Skater and Etoile Cyber so I can fusion summon Cyber Blader!" A powerful monster appeared, skating as if she was an olympic expert before dancing in the front of Alexis' field.
Cyber Blader
[Type:Fusion/Effect Monster/Sub-Type:Warrior/Attribute:EARTH/Level:7/ATK:2100/DEF:800]
Wilona raised her brow. If she recalled, Rhodes had mentioned she did have some fusion monsters in her deck during her game with Yuki.
Alexis pointed to the field of both Tyler Sisters. "Cyber Blader has an effect based on the amount of monsters my opponent, or in this case opponents control. When there are two monster on the field, her attack power doubles!"
ATK:2100→4200/DEF:800
Alexis glared at the two monsters. Her mind recognized that her opponents were playing an Amazon Archtype. She had watched Mai Valentine play this archtype back during reruns of the Battle City tournament and she knew that while Swords Woman had the lower attack, it had an ability that allowed it to reflect battle damage back at the opponent.
This meant her target had to be… "Now, Cyber Blader! Attack Amazoness Paladin!"
Cyber Blader charged for the monster in Grace's side of the field. With great grace, she reclined her leg back for a kick.
Gloria smiled. "I activate the trap card, Shift! This allows me to switch the target of your attack and I choose the new target to be Amazon Swords Woman!"
"What!?"
The monster all the way from Gloria's side of the field jumped in to protect Grace's monster. Cyber Blader unleashed her kick, causing Swords Woman to shatter into pieces.
Gloria smirked. "You were smart to know that Swords Woman's ability returned battle damage to whoever attacked her, but still not good enough!" The blonde twin pointed. "Now her ability activates and all the damage I should have gotten heads to you!"
Amazonness Paladin picked up Swords Woman's blade and tossed it like a dart right for Alexis. The other Obelisk Blue girl raised her Duel Disk that took the impact of the attack but caused her to skid heavily on the ground.
Alexis: 4000 LP → 1300 LP
Wilona: 4000 LP
Gloria Tyler: 4000 LP
Grace Tyler: 4000 LP
"It totes tragic that your own points were so played against you." Grace continued her smack talk. "I bet all that blood for your brain went all to your chest."
"And people called us bimbos." After that, both Gloria and Grace started to laugh.
Alexis gritted her teeth, these bitches were going to get it now.
ATK:4200→2100/DEF:800
ATK:1900→1800/DEF:300
"Rhodes, are you still good?" Wilona asked while Cyber Blader's attack went back to normal with one less monster on the field.
"I'll be better when I wipe that smile off their faces!" Alexis gritted her teeth and stood back up. Although she said that, these two were much better duelists than she thought.
Turn 5: Gloria. Cards: 3
"Aww, she still thinks she can win, let's rob her of that notion!" Gloria drew her card. "I play the continuous trap card, Amazoness Onslaught! I'll explain what it does in a bit after I summon Amazoness Fighter in attack mode!"
Amazoness Fighter was even more muscular and massive when compared to Amazon Swords Woman. "Then I give her the equip spell, Amazoness Heirloom!"
Amazoness Fighter[Type:Effect Monster/Sub-Type:Warrior/Attribute:EARTH/Level:4/ATK:1500/DEF:1300]
A special, jeweled necklace appeared on Figther's neck that seemed to glow with power.
"Don't forget with two monsters on he field again, my Cyber Blader gets to double her attack points!"
"And Paladin gets an increase of 100 attack points!" Grace added along with Alexis' statement.
ATK:2100→4200/DEF:800
ATK:1800→1900/DEF:300
"I already told you that your monsters points are nothing! Now, I attack Cyber Blader with Amazoness Fighter!"
"What!? But Cyber Blader has over 4000 attack points!?" Jasmine from the crowd cried out.
Fighter rushed in and punched at Cyber Blader, only for the graceful monster to duck and kick the burlier monster back with a great amount of force.
However, even though she did that, Fighter wasn't destroyed. What was even stranger was the fact Gloria's life points weren't going down!
"Hey!? What gives!? Cyber Blader has way more attack points!?" Mindy cried out as they all watched the interaction.
"That's so cute to think your friend here has a chance." Gloria started before she pointed at the necklace glowing with Fighter. "See the Heirloom equip card has two effects: one is once per turn, my monster can't be destroyed by battle."
"But what about your points? That should have done battle damage!" Jasmine yelled.
"Amazoness Fighter negates all battle damage involving her." Gloria rolled her eyes. "As I was saying, the second effect of Heirloom is that when my equipped monster battles with another monster, it's automatically destroyed after battle!"
"What!?" Alexis shouted before the necklace around Fighter unleashed a pulse of jade-colored energy that destroyed Cyber Blader, making her scream in pain before she shattered.
"I'm not done! Now since it's still my battle phase, I can activate Amazoness Onslaught! This continuous trap card allows me to special summon one Amazoness monster into the field from my hand and it gains 500 attack points! And I happen to have Amazoness Queen in my hand—so come forth!"
This Amazon exuded with royal power and somehow, looked stronger than all other Amazoness before her.
Amazoness Queen [Type:Effect Monster/Sub-Type:Warrior/Attribute:EARTH/Level:6/ATK:2400→2900/DEF:1800]
"And guess who no longer has any monsters helping her?" Gloria pointed over to Alexis whose field was now empty.
"Hey! Why are you guys picking on Alexis!?" Mindy cried out, a bit horrified and miffed at the situation in front of her.
"Duh, we can totally take on the Slifer Red without even trying. Besides, someone needs to learn her place." Grace commented while twirled the end of her bangs.
"Queen, end that blonde bimbo!" Gloria exclaimed as the Queen rushed for a vulnerable Alexis.
She slid in front of the Obelisk Blue, raised her blade, and swung down—on Gloria?!
"Aaahh!?" Gloria was pushed back from the attack and quickly got up in surprise that her own monster suddenly vanished and attacked her! "What the hell was that!?"
"Oh I'm terribly sorry," Alexis and everyone else turned towards Winoa with a trap card raised up. "Was I suppose to say something? Silly me. I forgot to say that I revealed my trap card, Dimension Wall. If my opponent declares an attack, I can use this card and send all battle damage back to an opponent."
Alexis: 1300 LP
Wilona: 4000 LP
Gloria Tyler: 4000 LP → 1100LP
Grace Tyler: 4000 LP
"So how does it feel having a taste of your own medicine?" Wilona smiled with a smirk that was equally as smug as the Tyler Sisters a while ago.
"Good move!" Alexis complimented from across.
"I wanted to use this card a while ago, but it only works for my opponent, not your attack, Rhodes."
Alexis processed what she had just said and thinking back, Wilona did have that card face down for a while. "That's alright, you saved my bacon there."
Wilona gave a small scoff before smiling to Alexis. "Careful, Rhodes, you're sounding like Yuki there."
Huh. Alexis had to admit, compared to when she first saw her, Wilona seems to be adapting fast at this game.
Gloria shouted to interrupt the two's banter. "You are going to pay for that! I end my turn by activating Polymerization! This lets me fuse Amazoness Queen and Fighter in order to Fusion Summon Amazoness Empress!"
Gloria's monsters disappeared and out came this person who seemed to stand atop the world of Amazoness monsters. She wielded a strange curved blade that seemed just as deadly, and her aura was that of something with a powerful magnitude.
Amazoness Empress [Type:Fusion/Effect Monster/Sub-Type:Warrior/Attribute:EARTH/Level:8/ATK:2800/DEF:2400]
Turn 6: Wilona. Cards: 4
Wilona drew her card. "I flip summon my set monster! Mecha Bunny!"
Mecha Bunny
[Type:Effect Monster/Sub-Type:Machine/Attribute:EARTH/Level:2/ATK:800/DEF:100]
A small robotic bunny appeared from under Wilona's card. When seeing the small creature, many of the girls started cooing at the sight of the small thing.
"There's more! When he's flipped face up, I can choose to do 500 points of damage to my opponent, and I choose Grace!"
The little rabbit fired a laser that pierced through Grace's chest, causing the silver haired win to grip her chest for a second.
Alexis: 1300 LP
Wilona: 4000 LP
Gloria Tyler: 1100LP
Grace Tyler: 4000 LP→ 3500 LP.
"I'm not done! Now I sacrifice Mecha Bunny in order to tribute summon Thestalos the Firestorm Monarch!"
The ground burst open with flames and a towering red giant appeared into the field.
Thestalos the Firestorm Monarch
[Type:Effect Monster/Sub-Type:Pyro/Attribute:FIRE/Level:6/ATK:2400/DEF:1000]
"His ability activates when summoned! One card is randomly chosen from my opponent's hand—" Thestalos lifted a finger and one of Grace's cards lit up on fire. "And is discarded!"
Grace removed her card and discarded it to the graveyard.
"There's a catch: if it was a monster card, you get damage equal to the amount of levels that monster had multiplied by 100!"
"Wait—what!? But I just discarded a level 4 monster!?" Grace cried out before her graveyard area started to get lit aflame and exploded.
"Grace!" Gloria cried out.
Alexis: 1300 LP
Wilona: 4000 LP
Gloria Tyler: 1100LP
Grace Tyler: 3500 LP→ 3100 LP.
The smoke settled and Grace was seen coughing. "Oh, you're going to pay for that, Red bitch!"
Wilona did nothing but smile before pointing towards Amazoness Paladin. "Now Thestalos attacks Paladin!"
The flame monarch stomped on the ground which seemed to crack and burn under ground before exploding under the paladin in a burst of fire.
Alexis: 1300 LP
Wilona: 4000 LP
Gloria Tyler: 1100LP
Grace Tyler: 3100 LP→ 2600 LP.
However, despite the flames, Paladin was still alive from the attack. Everyone looked over to Amazon Empress who had her had stretched out that seemed to cast some kind of protective barrier that shielded the fellow Amazon.
"Empress prevents all other Amazoness monsters to be destroyed by battle or card effects. So nice try, but you're little counter attack won't do much."
Wilona gave a glare before putting down two face downs.
Turn 7: Grace. Cards: 4
"Now it's payback time!" The silver haired twin drew her next card. "I activate the magic card Polymerization and fuse my Amazoness Archer with Amazoness Tiger in my hand in order to summon Amazoness Pet Liger!"
A massive beast appeared, showing that it was different than the usual female monsters both sisters had in both of their decks.
Amazoness Pet Liger
[Type:Fusion/Effect Monster/Sub-Type:Beast/Attribute:EARTH/Level:7/ATK:2500/DEF:2400]
"First, my Paladin gains another 100 attack bumping her up to 2000 Then, I play my face down, the Continuous Spell, Amazoness Fighting Spirit! See, If an "Amazoness" monster attacks a monster with higher ATK, the attacking monster gains 1000 ATK during damage calculation!"
"So first, let's take out that blue bimbo over there with nothing left on her field!" Grace shouted before pointing over to Alexis. "My Paladin attacks her directly!"
With grace, the Pladin picked up her blade and rushed for the vulnerable Alexis.
"No!"
"Alexis!"
Jasmine, Mindy, along with other Obelisk Blue girls cried out with horror at the incoming attack.
Luckily for them, this was a tag duel. "I play the face down, Altar for Tribute! I sacrifice Thestalos in order to give life points to Rhodes equal to his original attack points!"
Alexis: 1300 LP → 3700LP → 1700 LP
Wilona: 4000 LP
Gloria Tyler: 1100LP
Grace Tyler: 2600 LP
Wilona's monster was sacrificed and then the energy of her card went to boost up Alexis' life points before the attack could connect. However, thanks to that move by Wilona, Alexis was still in the game.
"Alright that does it!" Grace actually seemed pissed off for once. "You've been like such a thorn in my side for too long! Liger, attack the red bitch directly!"
As the Liger leapt into the battle, Wilona threw her hand out. "I reveal my second face down! Pinpoint Guard! This allows me to summon a level 4 or lower monster from my grave in defense position and for the rest of this turn, it doesn't get destroyed by battle or card effects and I'm bringing back Mecha Bunny!"
The small robotic creature returned into the field thanks to the trap card.
Mecha Bunny
[Type:Effect Monster/Sub-Type:Machine/Attribute:EARTH/Level:2/ATK:800/DEF:100]
"Liger has a special ability too! When he attacks, he gains 500 attack points!"
ATK:2500→3000/DEF:2400
Gloria was quick to point as Liger made his way towards Mecha Bunny. "If you think you're safe in defense mode, you've got another thing coming! Empress has the ability to grant piercing effects on all other Amazoness Monsters, including Liger!"
"What!?"
Liger pounced on Mecha Bunny, but Pinpoint Guard caused a large earth arm to cover the small creature. But the impact of the attack caused Wilona to get knocked over and fall flat on her butt.
Alexis: 1700 LP
Wilona: 4000 LP → 1100 LP
Gloria Tyler: 1100LP
Grace Tyler: 2600 LP
"Ha! On the dirt where you belong!" Grace cried out with a raised fist.
"Grace, you could have taken out the other duelist and we would have only had to deal with one of them!"
"Oh oops?" The silver haired girl looked back at her older sister. "Sorry, like, all I was seeing was red."
Gloria just sighed and just looked back to the duel. "Well it's fine, not like they can do anything else. The next turn is by an Obelisk Blue that's had her back saved by a Slifer Red this entire game!"
This made both opposing girls furious at the constant belittlement of their opponents. However, Grace spoke up, adding to their annoyance. "By the way, Liger has a second ability. After attacking a monster with any Amazoness monster, Liger can choose one monster on the field on my opponent's side and make them lose 800 attack points. And those are all the points that heap of junk has."
Grace pointed over to Mecha Bunny who—even though a machine—was stunned in fear by the liger.
ATK:800→0/DEF:100
Turn 8: Alexis. Cards: 3.
For once instead of acknowledging the Tyler sisters, Alexis looked over to Wilona who was dusting herself off. "Thanks a lot for helping me there twice."
Wilona laughed but Alexis could see the light green haired girl sweat. "Don't thank me yet, the classes here have helped me understand dueling more, but just like you and Yuki, those clones have this weird ease and confidence when playing the game. It always looks like they know what they're doing."
Alexis had to admit that WIlona was right, these two, while being completely insufferable, knew how to play to their strengths. "… One thing I do have to give them credit is that their monsters and cards compliment each other. They really are playing this as a tag duel and we haven't." Alexis spoke up. "So for this turn," She put her hand on her deck. "I'm going to need your help again."
"Go for it!"
Alexis drew her card and took out a card from her hand. "I play Machine Angel Ritual! This card allows me to play a Cyber Angel Monster in my deck if I meet the level requirements. I Sacrifice Prima from my hand in order to summon Cyber Angel Natasha in attack mode!"
A Machine Altar appeared around the field. Behind Alexis a green altar that was aflame burst into a giant version of itself and a shadow jumped out of it. It was revealed to be some kind of female Centaur.
Cyber Angel Natasha[Type:Ritual/Effect Monster/Sub-Type:Fairy/Attribute:LIGHT/Level:5/ATK:1000/DEF:1000]
"And here's one her special abilities! I can choose one monster on the field and gain life points equal to their attack! And I choose Natasha!"
As soon as Alexis said this, a green glow came from Natasha that seemed to be soothing Alexis' body.
Alexis: 1700 LP → 2700 LP
Wilona: 1100 LP
Gloria Tyler: 1100LP
Grace Tyler: 2600 LP
"Next I place one card face down to end my turn!" Alexis did so but this time there was much more confidence in her words now.
Turn 9: Gloria. Cards: 0
"All that build up for that? I think we've played around for too long!" Gloria picked up a card. "Now then, Empress attack Mecha Bunny! And don't forget, she has the ability to give all Amazoness monsters piercing abilities!"
If that attack connected, Wilona was out of the duel. But it was time for Alexis to return the favor. "I activate my face down: Impenetrable Attack! It has two effects and the one I'll activate is the one that turns all battle damage this turn to zero!"
What happened was that even though the rabbit was destroyed, the damage that would have knocked out Wilona was stopped by a barrier. After the attack and shield died down, Wilona pointed forward.
"When Mecha Bunny is destroyed in battle, I can search my deck and put another Mecha Bunny in face down defense position!" As she said this, she indeed searched her deck for another copy to place it back down in her duel disk.
Gloria gritted her teeth but easily let it go. "Bah it's fine. All you can do is defend yourself!"
"Yeah, with Amazoness Fighting Spirit, you need to get over 4000 attack points to scare us. Not to mention, with Amazoness Empress on the field, none of our monster can be destroyed by card effects. We'll out last you and make this a slow and crushing defeat." Grace added along.
Glora calmed down and exclaimed. "I end my turn!"
Turn 10: Wilona. Cards: 2.
As much as Alexis hated to admit, she couldn't think of a card that could get through the line of both Pet Liger and Empress.
Wilona on the other hand stared hard at the two monsters. "You know, that does sound like an impossibly hard to beat strategy. Though then again, there's more than one way to behead a person."
That phrase made many watching raise their eye brows. Alexis turned to her ally. "Uh, Wilona, it sounds like you're trying to say 'there's more than one way to skin a cat'?"
"I know what I said, Rhodes." That just brought up more questions that Alexis couldn't ask since Wilona made her move. "You sure love those monsters. Now let's see how well you all do without them!"
"Ha! Didn't you hear what we just said!?" Gloria pointed. "You can't destroy any of our cards by effects or battle!"
There was still a smile on Wilona's face before she made her move. "Alright, then, listen up because I'm only going to do this once! I sacrifice my second Mecha Bunny in order to summon Raiza The Storm Monarch!"
Raiza the Storm Monarch
[Type:Effect Monster/Sub-Type:Winged Beast/Attribute:WIND/Level:6/ATK:2400/DEF:1000]
The winds started to gather around Wilona as she held out the card in her hand. A tornado surrounded her and from the gales, glowing red eyes appeared.
In a burst of wind, everyone braced themselves before another towering elemental stood tall—floated in the air behind Wilona.
"What's he going to do?" Gloria cried out. "He just has 2400 hundred attack points!"
Wilona pointed up. "Raiza, when tribute summoned, I can return one card on the field back to the top of the owner's deck!"
The declaration made the twins widen with alarm.
Wilona pointed and spoke what everyone was realizing, "That's right! It's not destruction, so your Empress can't negate this! Raiza, kindly show the Empress her way out!"
The storm monarch raised his hand and a burst of gales blasted and lifted Amazon Empress high into the sky. Instead of the Empress falling out a simple card flew and place itself back into the deck of Gloria.
"Nice! Now they aren't immune to destruction effects!" Alexis pumped her fist.
"I'm not done yet!" The green haired, glasses wearing girl took out another card from her hand. "From my hand, I can special summon, Garum, The Storm Vassal by returning Riaza back to my hand!"
Garum the Storm Vassal
[Type:Effect Monster/Sub-Type:Winged Beast/Attribute:WIND/Level:3/ATK:800/DEF:1000]
Raiza's card was picked up as a smaller, but similar themed monster appeared into the field.
"Why did she just sacrifice a stronger monster for a weaker one?!" Jasmine and all the other bystanders were shocked at the move the light green haired girl made.
Alexis; however, saw a much more confident look on Wilona's face, the same one she claimed that talented people like her and Jaden had that she didn't. Alexis couldn't believe this was the same girl only a week ago that pretty much won by a lucky break. Was Wilona adapting fast to this game?
"I play the spell card, Double Summon! This card allows me to Normal Summon twice this turn!"
"Wait!" "She isn't!" The Tyler Sisters cried out with varying levels of shock at what they thought was about to happen.
Alexis really couldn't believe this was the same newbie nearly a week ago!
"I sacrifice Garum to bring back Raiza!"
The storm reappeared and all though it was their second time seeing it, everyone was still in awe at the entrance of the Storm Monarch.
Raiza the Storm Monarch
[Type:Effect Monster/Sub-Type:Winged Beast/Attribute:WIND/Level:6/ATK:2400/DEF:1000]
Wilona pointed over to Liger. "And now Raiza, show the feline the same curtsy as you did to Empress!"
Raiza blasted the fusion monster with a gust of wind that sent him back into Grace's deck. Everyone stared in awe as two of the most powerful monsters in the board were cleared out by summoning the same monster twice!
Wilona pointed over to her opponent while they, and the crowd and her ally were still piecing together her play. "Now your Paladin's attack goes down back to 1800 without her other supports!"
ATK:2000→1800/DEF:300
"Go, Raiza! Attack her Paladin with Tempest Cleave!"
The Wind attribute monster spun fast, creating a tornado around himself that sucked in the Amazon Paladin. Everyone could hear the sounds of slashes coming from inside before the paladin's sword was thrown down near Grace and then shattered like glass.
Alexis: 2700 LP
Wilona: 1100 LP
Gloria Tyler: 1100LP
Grace Tyler: 2600 LP → 2000 LP
"And with that, I end my turn!" Wilona declared as Raiza Returned to her side of the field.
Turn 11: Grace. Cards: 1
Both twins, now that their shock died down, were both seething with rage at the opponent they originally didn't even acknowledge. "This is so not over yet!" Grace drew her card and a smile appeared on her face. "Well what do you know? I summon Amazoness Scouts in attack mode!
Amazoness Scouts
[Type:Effect Monster/Sub-Type:Warrior/Attribute:EARTH/Level:2/ATK:500/DEF:1100]
Two little girls one themed with red and other blue appeared into the field wielding their own weapons.
"I don't like how she played a weaker monster on the field." Alexis noted while Wilona beside her took that as a warning to be cautious.
"Next I play the spell card, Amazoness Spellcaster!" As soon as Grace played the card, an old woman appeared dressed in witch like clothes and started circling her hands. "I can target one monster I control, like the Scouts and one monster you control, like your Raiza, and for this turn only… they switch attack points." Grace smiled with all the wickedness of her with card when she revealed that ability.
"What did you just say!?" Wilona cried out before the old woman finished her chanting.
Something like souls of the two monsters crossed over and Raiza fell to his knees while the two children exuded powerful aura.
ATK:2400→500/DEF:1000
ATK:500→2400/DEF:1100
"Now it's payback time! Scouts, destroy her Raiza!"
The two Amazoness monsters race in. The blue one raced in and shot arrows with wires that entrapped the weakened Monarch. A shadow appeared above the wind monarch—only for the red child's blade to sink into the helm of the monster, destroying him in one strike.
Alexis: 2700 LP
Wilona: 1100 LP → 0 LP
Gloria Tyler: 1100LP
Grace Tyler: 2000 LP
Wilona's duel disk lost power and the girl could only sigh at her being knocked out.
"Ha!" Gloria cried out as Scout's attack points went to normal. "All we gotta do now is finish off the other one, and we win!"
ATK:2400→500/DEF:1100
Turn 12: Alexis. Cards: 0
Alexis had to admit things were looking bad. Her ally was down and she didn't even have a monster with enough points to take out Gloria before her next turn—let alone handle Grace or the two of them together.
But, as Alexis stared at her card, her mind raced back to a certain night where another male Slifer Red showed her how to face unsurmountable odds with a smile.
"It's not over yet!" Wilona swore for a second that Rhodes almost looked like Yuki when she exclaimed that and drew her next card.
The blonde girl's eyes widened. "I play the spell, Card of Demise! This lets me draw until I have five cards the price is that I have to discard my entire hand by my end phase." Alexis drew five new cards from her deck and then looked at her new hand with laser focus.
It was then she looked back up, her eyes now more determined than ever. "I play Machine Angel Absolute Ritual! This one has a small difference compared to the Ritual Spell I used a while ago. This one allows me to special summon a Cyber Angel monster by even shuffling monsters in my grave back to my deck and I choose Cyber Blader and Cyber Prima!"
The altar burst into flames once more.
"With that, I special summon Cyber Angel Izana in attack mode!"
Cyber Angel Izana [Type:Ritual/Effect Monster/Sub-Type:Fairy/Attribute:LIGHT/Level:8/ATK:2500/DEF:2600]
Wilona looked up. Even in the daylight, Izana was still a powerful source of light.
"That's one powerful ritual monster!" Grace gasped as she and her sister looked on with shock.
Alexis didn't hesitate to explain what her monster's effect was. "When Izana is summoned, one magic or trap card gets destroyed on my opponent's side of the field. The plus side is you get to choose which gets destroyed."
At Alexis' words the twins looked among their cards before Gloria spoke out. "We choose Amazoness Willpower!"
The Spell card was discarded and soon Alexis pointed over to Grace. "Now! Izana attack the Amazoness Scouts! Heavenly Arsenal!"
Izana moved her free hands into a prayer. As she did, energy weapons the size of monster trucks appeared around the Scouts and then quickly darted right into them and exploded.
The result of the explosion knocked Grace off her feet and she landed on the ground.
Alexis: 2700 LP
Wilona: 0 LP
Gloria Tyler: 1100LP
Grace Tyler: 2000 LP → 0 LP
"Grace! You'll pay for that!" Gloria was akin to an actual beast when she glared at Alexis. "Your Natasha only has 1000 attack points! I'll survive, and I'll make sure you regret that last attack!"
However, Alexis stood her ground and glared back with equal amounts of ferocity. "No, you won't. Izana has an ability that lets her attack again after successfully destroying a monster!"
She would deny it, But Gloria's heart stopped beating for a second. "What!?"
"Izana, end this duel!"
Alexis commanded as her ritual monster did what she was told.
Gloria could only look up as a giant spear was seen over her head and brought down with a heavy light.
Alexis: 2700 LP (WINNER!)
Wilona: 0 LP (WINNER!)
VS
Gloria Tyler: 1100LP → 0 LP
Grace Tyler: 0 LP
Alexis sighed a breathe of relief as soon as the attack connected. However, her relief was soon gone as every girl in the dorm rushed over to her, and exclaimed that she was amazing. Alexis tried to be humble and say that she didn't win all by herself—but she noticed that Wilona was already far, pointing towards the entrance of her dorms. The blonde girl could only sigh as she now struggled to get out of the large crowd that seemed enamored by her beating two bullies.
Speaking off the bullies, Gloria and Grace just like Wilona, snuck out while the other girls were focused on Alexis.
"Ugh, I can't believe we lost to those two of all people! We'll get em next time, big sis! We just underestimated them because the rest of them wore us down and made us let down our guard!" Grace cried out as she rolled her shoulder.
"I'm a little surprised you two pulled a stunt like that in the first place."
The twins stopped and looked under a tree where someone was hidden by the shade.
Gloria scoffed and put her hand on her hips. "What are you doing here? You know it's illegal for boys to be here, right?"
"Like they can prove I was ever here." The boy spoke with obvious confidence. "But I am curious as to why you two pulled that stunt when we have our mission?"
"We did that for two reasons. One was because we were bored—the other and more important reason was that we wanted to check out all the potential girls in this dorm for any suspects. We haven't gotten to some of the third year girls, including the supposed Queen of Obelisk Blue, Seika Kohinata. But it does give us an estimate and census of the overall people in this area."
The one in the shadows hummed. "Huh, is that why you two played the whole—mean girl stereotypes?"
"We were mean? But like—everyone but those last two sucked." Grace put a finger on her chin.
"Well then okay." The boy shrugged his shoulders. "But just because this is a school doesn't mean we should let down our guard."
"Right, right. You do your mission then, Shun."
Even though he was heavily covered by shadows, the Tyler Sisters could tell the boy was smirking before he vanished.
"I hate that runt." Gloria scoffed before continuing to walk.
[Tag Force: Heroes and Villains.]
Alexis spotted Wilona waiting out the gates of Obelisk Blue and was able to walk up to the light green haired girl. "So while I gotta thank you for helping me win, you never finished why you were here in the first place."
The red cap girl breathed in deep. "Rhodes, I came here to ask a favor. You see, I'm starting a club, and I need members from each dorm. I'm hoping you would join it?"
That was… much more mundane that Alexis expected it to be. I guess after that duel, she expcted it to be bigger considering what she and Jaden almost pulled a few nights back. "What kinda club is it?"
"It's a music club."
Alexis blinked. "A music club huh? … Hmm, sorry, but I'm not really into clubs."
Wilona sighed… all that work and being sidetracked… for nothing?
"Do you at least know someone who might be interested?"
"I'll go talk to my friends, see if anyone's interested in joining. I think a music club is cool, but I… have my reasons why I can't really join something like that just yet." Music tended to remind Alexis of a certainly annoying, but dearly missed, ukelele player and his insistent needs to sing with her as a sibling duo.
The light green haired girl could see there was another personal reason as to why Alexis didn't want to join, she could tell by how she looked so forlorn for a second.
"Okay, I see," Wilona waved goodbye to the Obelisk Blue. "Thank you for your time."
"No, I owe you for that duel, I only won because you saved my skin more than I did. If there's anything else—"
"I won't hesitate to ask then. I'll see you later, Rhodes."
Alexis left first, mostly to ignore and get away from her new fan base that couldn't stop praising her for her victory. Wilona couldn't help but laugh. She would rather be a loser than deal with an adoring fans.
But this was a problem, Wilona doubted that Alexis knew people that would agree to join her club, especially after the obvious bias all the other girls showed when going to Alexis and ignoring her despite helping her out.
She needed this club to be recognized. Who else did she or the other knew here in the girl dorms?
Wilona was about to leave until she saw the Tyler Sisters turn the corner. This made the girl want to leave even more—
But she stayed. She watched as all the other girls run away and avoid the twins. She would agree that sure they did deserve it for talking down everyone they beat up—and they don't seem to care about others at all with how they're walking around with confidence still.
…
But Wilona knew what it was like to be alone and unwanted.
As her body started moving, Wilona had a bad feeling about this.
[Tag Force: Heroes and Villains.]
Jaden Yuki and Syrus went back to Room 2004. "I can't believe Bastion thinks spending more time on math is cooler than playing instruments!"
"It's not all bad, J, at least Bastion said he might visit and think about it one day. I just don't know how Wilona's going to take it."
Jaden seemed to get his spirits up just as fast. "Hey, you think she got Alexis in the club? It would be cool to see her again and maybe I can even duel her!"
"Well, she could always blackmail her..." Syrus muttered to himself.
Jaden and Syrus heard voices coming from the door. Perhaps Alexis was inside? Jaden and Syrus opened up the door, but to their surprise, they saw two girls that they had never seen before.
"And who are those two?" It was a blonde girl, but not the one Jaden and Syrus were expecting. Alexis looked way less likely to kill them with just a glare.
"Hello new, clubmates!" Someone with the same face as the blonde, but with silver hair waved at them. "We're the Tyler Sisters! Oh and Wilona gave us your jobs!"
"What!?" The two Slifer Reds looked for Wilona who had her hands buried in her face. Silently, she was wondering why the bloody hell they said yes!?
[Tag Force: Heroes and Villains.]
A/N: So, I hope you enjoyed this original chapter not in cannon! Everyone give a warm welcome to the Tyler Sisters from Yugioh Arc-V! I thought it would be a fun idea to include some of the Fusion Dimension Characters in to this world of GX since Arc-V had Alexis and Aster/Edo Phoenix.
I told you this story was going to be different. And I hope the few reading this will enjoy what's to come!
Anyway, see you guys next chapter!
