Animaniacs 5D's Episode 4
School Clown and Co.
"Welcome back class. Let's hope to have a wonderful school year this year." the teacher said to everyone. The teacher herself was very pretty, and looked cool headed in the way she dressed. Her long brown hair was tied back into a tail that came down to her backside, and her bangs framed her bright green eyes perfectly. "We actually have two new transfer students today, please welcome Yakko Warner to our class." she said and looked to the door. When it didn't open she supposed that he got cold feet, so she got up from her desk to address the situation. Before she even took her first step towards the door, everyone heard a knock from inside the teacher's top desk drawer. Confusion surrounded the classroom and the teacher reached down to open the drawer. Yakko promptly popped out of the drawer when she opened it just a crack, "Hellooooo Nurse!" he shouted as he eyed the teacher. He decided to refrain from jumping into her arms and kissing her, because those were Yusei's terms, instead he jumped down to the ground and walked to be in front of the laughing class. "Well, that was some entrance." the teacher said, mostly to herself. "Tell us a little bit about yourself." she urged. "I'm black and white with a red nose." he said as he pointed to his nose. "I mean other than the obvious." she told him. "Now you're getting specific." he told her through the side of his mouth, "I'm zany, wacky and all out fun to be around. I'm from a place called Burbank and I use Cartoon monsters. Oh, and Yusei Fudo is going to be my guardian until I can find a way to go home." with a smile, he finished his introduction and just couldn't wait to see the looks on every ones' faces. The shocked looks that everyone had was like a uniform, each similar all the way to the teacher herself. 'That was defiantly worth it.' Yakko thought to himself. "Uh…Ok then. Yakko why don't you sit in the back?" she told him. Yakko walked by, enjoying the looks on the faces as they watched him travel to his seat, he felt just like a celebrity. "Well, I'm not sure if she can top that but I'd like to introduce the second of our transfer students, Ms. Lillian Tully." 'Just another person to play pranks on.' Yakko told himself, but only believed it until he opened his eyes and saw the new girl.
She looked about his age and only two inches short of his height, as well as whatever he was. She had ears that resembled his and a face that screamed Dot, but older. The red school jacket she wore was almost tailored to fit her and perfectly matched her grey dress and light blue blouse. The major difference was the white parts, they were actually light grey. She also had on a light amount of makeup, something he knew Dot would tell her she had too little of. It was his turn to go wide eyed, he thought that his brother and sister and he were the only of his kind…whatever they were. "Hello, my name is Lillian Tully, and the doctor told me that…I have amnesia, I hope that we can all be good friends."
{Cue 5D's opening Theme.}
"Well Lillian, it's nice to meat you, why don't we seat you next to Yakko, perhaps you can keep him in line!" the teacher said, and used her hand to point to her seat. Yakko shifted in a start, and turned his head to the desk to his right, finding it empty. As the new girl neared him, he couldn't help but look into her eyes. Instead of the beady black eyes he had, she had kind dark blue eyes that told of a deep longing or trauma that may be somewhere in her past. He found himself hopping that she never remembered it completely. Lillian noticed him starring at her and turned to him with a smile, which he nervously returned. 'She's like me!' he thought to himself as he looked back at the teacher. Throughout the entire class his mind was on one thing, Lillian. Not in a romantic way, but more of a curious way. Where did she come from? What was she doing here? And why was she grey instead of white? All these questions and more ran through his mind as his classes passed by. Finally his history class came around and he got a surprise, "HEY YAKKO!" he heard a familiar voice call out, a massive arm came crashing down onto his shoulders and the face from the front of the school, Anthony Stone, his knew friend. "How have you been, getting into trouble?" he asked. "Yusei would kill me if I got sent to the principal's office on my first day. Besides I've had a lot on my mind." Yakko admitted. "Like what?" Anthony asked only to be answered by another voice, "Hello!" Lillian said from behind them. "Hi Lillian!" Yakko said. He really didn't want to insult her on her first day meeting him. Stone looked back and forth between the two of them a couple of times, "Dude she looks like you." he said. "I know." Yakko told him. "Want to be friends?" Stone asked with a big grin as he turned to her. "Uh…Sure!" she said nervously, "Kay, first rule of friends, we all sit together in history class, trust me on this one, the teacher will put you to sleep with just his voice."
It was true, the history teacher literally put Yakko to sleep within minutes, Stone followed soon after pulling out a device that puts the teacher's voice into written words on a computer, and Lillian tried desperately to stay awake, but eventually failed like the rest of the class except one solitary nerd. When the bell for lunch finally rang, the entire class shot awake and bolted out of the room as fast as they could, again that one solitary nerd stayed behind. "I thought that class would never get out." Yakko said as his new friends walked close by. "I'll say, glad I got this thing during my first year." Stone told them. Lillian sighed and then asked curiously, "What is that anyway?" What Stone held up looked like a simple flash drive, but had a small microphone and an on switch on its side. "I got this half way through my first year. I kept failing that class because I'd be out cold within a minute. I was trying to save up for a custom Duel Disk, but when I saw this in the window of a shop, I just knew it was what could save me. It takes what it hears when it's turned on and puts it into a writing format that is way less monotonous." he said.
"And you do know who makes those things?" asked a very scratchy arrogant voice. When they turned to find out who said that, they found three students standing behind them. The first was a boy with long spiky black hair that was pulled back into a pony tail. The school jacket he had on was blue and long, like a trench coat. His brown eyes were turned down into a scowl, and his sharp bangs crossed only his left eye. The second was tall and burly, he sported a long blue coat as well, on his head, was nothing but the reflection of the sun, and his green eyes held nothing but malicious thoughts. The last was a girl, also in a blue coat, her light blue hair was short but in a perfect perm to wisp to the side of her face and frame her baby blue eyes and perfect face. "My father's company, that's who!" the shorter boy told them. "Who are you?" Stone asked. The boy closed his eyes, apparently apologizing for his behavior, "I'm a first year Obelisk Blue, Draco Richmond." he said, "This is Raphael Kings," he introduced pointing his hand to the tall burly boy, then shifting to the girl of his group he introduced her, "and this is Lenore Ravensong." Then he opened his eyes to look at Stone, "And you three are in our seats." The table that Yakko and his friends were at, appeared to look just like the other tables, "Hey this is the first day of school, what gives you the right to say what table is yours?" Yakko asked. "I do, now get out of our seats." Draco said. "No." was Yakko's answer. Draco scoffed and his scowl got even more menacing, "Fine, I challenge you to a Duel, and the winner gets to restrict anything he wants from the looser." he said directly to the toon. Yakko nearly growled, "Yusei, said a real duelist never declines a challenge for selfish reasons, I accept your challenge." he said and stood up from his chair. "Hey, why can't we just share the table?" Lillian asked. "Share, with you losers? Ha, what a laugh!" Lenore said, her voice was both high and annoying. "Meet me in the Duel Gym in five minutes, and I hope you have a hiding spot all picked out because you are going to need it if you think you'll just walk away from this." Draco angrily said. Yakko let his eyes, narrow in anger, "Bring it!"
Draco and Yakko both stood on one of the large dueling platforms, what Yakko didn't expect was that again everyone was sitting in the stands, watching. "I didn't know this was going to be public!" Yakko said as he looked around. "Why, you scared of the publicity? Besides it was Lenore's idea." Draco told him and placed his deck into his custom Duel Disk. The device was designed as a dragon, with the wing as the platform and the mouth as the deck slot. Yakko followed suit, almost feeling ashamed that his Duel Disk wasn't as fancy. As soon as the auto shufflers were done, their Life Point Circles appeared and the Duel was on, "LET'S DUEL!" the two of them shouted.
"I'll go first." Draco said and pulled the top card from his deck. "I summon the 'Arc-Dragon Ashier'!" he called out. The Dragon that came to the field had ash grey scales and torn up wings. Its blazing red eyes told a story of destruction. [Arc-Dragon Ashier is a level 4, FIRE attribute Dragon monster with 1600 ATK and 1300 DEF]
"Oh shoot he uses Arc-Dragons!" Stone called out. "Huh?" Lillian asked. "Arc-Dragons are powerful monsters and have the capability of doing just about anything." Stone explained. Lillian, glanced at Yakko with worry, "I hope he does well!" she said. "I hope he survives this turn!" Stone said expressing his concern.
"Now I lay two cards facedown and equipped my Spell Card 'Arc-Dragon Pride' to my Arc-Dragon Ashier. This increases my Arc-Dragon's ATK by 500 points and gives him the ability to deal the difference in damage between his ATK and any of your monster's DEF to your life points." Draco said to the toon, "But not before Ashier takes 800 of them. Go Arc-Dragon Ashier, Deadly gaze!" It was as if Yakko could feel the damage done to him, and he flinched as his LP Circle dropped to 3200. "Now I end my turn." Draco called out.
"My draw!" Yakko called out and drew his card. "Now I summon the 'Cartoon Ganger' to the field." The gangster wore a blue pinstripe suit and a short flat brimmed hat, the cartoony look on his face was big bulgy eyes and an exaggerated grin. The Stats read level 4, 1800 ATK and 1050 DEF. "Thanks to my Ganger's special ability, one of your monsters get's destroyed when he's normal summoned." Suddenly The Cartoon Ganger pulled out a bazooka from his seemingly empty pocket and fired it at Draco's Arc-Dragon, shattering it into thousands of different pieces. "What?" Draco shouted. "Now I can attack you directly!" Yakko shouted. "NO!" Stone called out. "Huh?" Yakko said as he turned his head to look at his friend. "Trust me, you have to destroy those Trap cards first!"
"Hey, no helping!" Raphael shouted. 'Destroy the Trap cards?' Yakko thought to himself, 'Does he really want me to take those risks?' He suddenly got a chill down his spine as he looked at the two face-downs and it almost seemed like he could tell what they really were. 'Yusei always told me to duel with my heart, and my heart tells me that Stone is right.'
"I'm going to stop my attack," he announced, "and lay two card face down before ending my turn." Draco sneered at the Yakko's decision, before smiling to taunting him, "What's the matter loser, can't take the heat?" he asked before drawing his card. "Not really." was Yakko's response. "Fine, since you refuse to attack, I'll just have to Summon 'Arc-Dragon Nova' to the field." The Dragon that came to the field, was a very dark red dragon that spewed fire from not just his mouth and nostrils, but also from vents that lined his spine. The stats that showed were, Level 3, 1300 ATK and 1500 DEF. "Nice Dragon! But I'm afraid it's time to say goodbye. Because I activate my 'Mallet Gag' Trap card." [Mallet Gag is a trap card that destroys one monster on your opponent's side of the field.] "This lets me take out your Dragon without battling it." Yakko said and a mallet appeared on the field right over Arc-Dragon Nova, before smashing down on top of the beast. "Gerrrr." Draco shouted, until he smiled, "When Arc-Dragon Nova is destroyed by anything other than battle, the one who destroyed him takes 1000 points of damage." Yakko felt it again, it was like his nerves just went into overdrive, letting him feel everything, and for some reason, it pumped him up. "Again I end my turn." Draco called out.
"Ok, my draw." Yakko said and picked up his card. Smiling with excitement and wit, Yakko flipped the card over so Draco could see it, "I activate the Spell Card 'Comedy Night', this lets me take a 'Cartoon' monster from my deck and send it to the graveyard as a tribute to normal summon a monster that requires one monster as tribute from my hand. So I summon, 'Cartoon Bigfoot'!" [Cartoon Bigfoot is a level 5, EARTH attribute, Toon type monster with 2500 ATK and 1900 DEF.] "Now I attack with Cartoon Bigfoot." Yakko called out. "What are you doing!?" Stone called out. "Ha, now I activate my trap card, Arc-Revival." [Arc-Revival is a trap card that lets you select one Arc-Dragon in your graveyard, special summon from your deck an Arc-Dragon with the same level. At the end of your next turn, you take damage equal to that monster's ATK times 2.] "With it I can special summon from my deck, Arc-Dragon Siren." [Arc-Dragon Siren is a level four, WATER attribute, Dragon type tuner monster with 2000 ATK and 0 DEF.] With my Arc-Dragon Siren out on the field, all effect damage is doubled." Draco said through his smile. "And you will be taking it all, thanks to my Bottomless Pit trap card, I can discard one card from my hand to destroy your facedown card." Yakko told him. The moment those words left Yakko's mouth, Draco let his smile turn into surprise and he watched as his facedown was revealed before shattering into thousands of pieces.
"That was Arc-Dragon Reverse." Lillian said. "If Yakko had waited just seconds more, Draco would have used that card to redirect all that damage to Yakko." Stone let her know.
"And thanks to Bottomless Pit's special ability, I place it face-down for next turn instead of sending it to the graveyard." Yakko announced as his trap card returned back to its original position, "Now I end my turn."
"This can't be." Draco whispered, "No one ever sees that one coming their first time." Then his eyes narrowed into an angry look directed at Yakko, "What are you?" he asked. "You know I've asked myself that for years and I still don't have an answer." Yakko told him, only to get a growl in response. "Fine, because I have an Arc-Dragon on the field, I can summon 'Arc-Dragon Earthra' from my hand due to its own special ability." Draco said as he brought out a marble colored Dragon again with torn wings and massive stone horns. The stats that appeared were, level 2, 600 ATK and 400 DEF. "Now I tune my Siren with my Earthra, so that I may Synchro summon 'Arc-Dragon Chaos Inferno'!" The dragon that appeared had wings made purely out of fire, and his crimson scales shined with the hellfire he possessed. The stats showed, Level 6, 2400 ATK and 1000 DEF. "I'll knock the life points out of you before my turn ends." Draco announced. "Not by attacking my monsters your not!" Yakko corrected him, "My Cartoon Ganger has 1800 ATK, which means I will only take 600 damage and be left with…" Yakko stopped to think about the answer, until Lillian shouted it out, "1600!" "What she said!" he told him. "Not if I activate my Chaos Inferno's special ability, by discarding my entire hand, I can double his ATK." Yakko was shocked when the ATK meter shoed 4800. "Holy cow." he called out. "Ha ha ha, now by attacking your puny Ganger, your life points disappear and I win the duel." Draco was sure of his victory, until Yakko played a desperate move, "I activate my Bigfoot's special ability, by sending three cards in my graveyard out of play, I can knock 300 ATK per card off of your monster till the end of your turn." 900 ATK dropped right off of Chaos Inferno's attack, and the impact, passed right though Cartoon Ganger, disintegrating the monster until Yakko saw only the fire that surrounded him, "AHHHHH." he shouted as his LP dropped to 100. Draco was stunned, he had tried everything, and now all he could do was loose. "I end my turn!" he said as he hung his head. It was at that time a mighty explosion on his side, cleaned out his LP meter. Yakko had won, and the crowd cheered for his victory.
"YES, YAKKO WON, HE WON!" Lillian shouted as she and Stone swung each other around in a circle. Yakko approached Draco, waiting to see if the boy was angry or not, "Go on, restrict me until I've got nowhere to go, that was the deal." he said. Yakko smiled brightly, "Nah!" he told him. Draco lifted his head and glared right at Yakko, "Come on, I deserve it, give me your worst." he shouted, "You want my worst?" Yakko asked. "Yah, whatever you got." Draco told him. "Ok." the toon said and reached for him, only to flick him in the fore head, "Never try to take anyone's seat from them again." he said, then turned to his friends, "Let's eat." and jumped from the stage to join them. "Are you serious?" Lenore shouted, "That's all, Draco just told you to give him your worst." Yakko turned to her with soft eyes, like he just got caught cheating at a game, "That is my physical worst, as a toon I don't actually want to hurt anyone, I just want others to laugh." with that he turned around and walked away. Lenore scoffed, "You lost to him?" she asked Draco, "No," he said, "I lost to myself, a mistake I don't plan on making again." Raphael just stood there, scratching his head.
