Hey all...I'm back!

So I'm in college now so I hardly have much time to write these days and I'm also a little disappointed that I haven't been getting any reviews lately :(

Anyway, Enjoy the chapter :D

Yu-Gi-Oh GX: Heart of the Duelist

Chapter 4: In The Game...Again!

Both Syrus and Dimitri drew their cards and the duel was about to begin. Jaden, feeling worried for Syrus, stayed and watched in case something would happen to go wrong. As they drew their cards, the duel began.

(Syrus: 4000)

(Dimitri: 4000)

"I'll go first." said Dimitri as he drew his card. "I'll start by summoning the powerful Queen's Knight in attack mode." continued Dimitri as Queen's Knight emerged to the field, moving her blade in a swift movement.

(LV: 4 ATK: 1500 DEF: 1600)

"I set one card faced down and end my turn." continued Dimitri as a set card appeared on his field.

"It's my turn now." said Syrus as he drew a card. He could see Jaden watching from afar. "For starters, I'll summon my good buddy, Steamroid, to the field in attack mode." suddenly a train track appeared on the field, allowing Steamroid to make an appearance.

(LV: 4 ATK: 1800 DEF: 1800)

"Next, I'll activate the spell card Mystical Space Typhoon to destroy your faced down card." continued Syrus as a cyclone entered the field, causing the faced down card to be destroyed. However, at the same time, Syrus felt an explosion on his body.

(Syrus: 4000 → 3000)

"What just happened?" asked Syrus, sounding surprised. He looked at Dimitri's field and saw a face-up card with an image of a man trying to hit a button.

"When you activate you Mystical Space Typhoon." said Dimitri, "You destroyed my Kokazy's Self-Destruct button trap card. When it's destroyed, the person responsible takes 1000 points of damage."

"It doesn't matter cause now I can destroy your monster." Syrus shot back, "And thanks to Steamroid's ability, whenever it attacks, he gains 500 attack points. Steamroid attack!" yelled Syrus as steamroid raced for a tackle towards Queen's Knight, destroying it.

(ATK: 1800 → 2300)

(Dimitri: 4000 → 3200).

"I set two cards face-down and end my turn." ended Syrus as two set cards appeared on his side of the field.

"My move." said Dimitri as he drew his card. "I activate Monster Reborn, allowing me to bring back Queen's Knight to my side of the field in attack mode." said Dimitri as Queen's Knight reappeared to the field.

(LV: 4 ATK: 1500 DEF: 1600)

"Next, I summon King's Knight to my side of the field in attack mode. And thanks to his ability, I can now add jack's Knight to the field as well." continued Dimitri as both King's knight and Jack's Knight both appear on the field.

King's Knight: (LV: 4 ATK: 1600 DEF: 1400)

Jack's Knight: (LV: 5 ATK: 1900 DEF: 1000)

"Now I'll use Queen's Knight to attack your monster, since it loses attack points when it's attacked." said Dimitri as Queen's Knight goes for an attack.

Steamroid: (ATK: 1800 → 1300)

"Not so fast," said Syrus as a set card was being revealed, "you triggered my Supercharge trap card. When a 'Roid' monster I control is selected as an attack target, I get to draw two card. Next, I reveal my Magic Cylinder trap card, negating the Battle Phase and make u take heavy damage." said Syrus as the attack went though the cylinder and attacked Dimitri instead.

(Dimitri: 3200 → 1700)

Dimitri was suddenly in anger. "Now, King's Knight, destroy Steamroid. Jack's Knight, attack directly." Dimitri commanded. King's Knight went for a swift attack and destroyed Steamroid. It wasn't long after that Jack's Knight went for a blow. Syrus was seriously injured from the attacks.

(Syrus: 3000 → 2700 → 800)

"This is bad." thought Jaden as he saw Syrus at a disadvantage. The main thing that surprised Jaden was that while Syrus was about to draw his card, he had a smile on his face.

Syrus draws his card and smiles "That's exactly what I need." Syrus thought, his smile growing wider. "I play the spell card, Power Bond. This card allow me to fuse the three Cyber Dragons in my hand together!"

"Three Cyber Dragons!? How!?" Dimitri asked, but before he could get an answer, all 3 Cyber Dragons appeared on the field and merged together, forming a vortex. From that vortex, a three headed Cyber Dragon made an entrance to the field.

"say hello to the Cyber End Dragon!" said Syrus as the mechanical three-headed dragon gave out a deafening roar.

(LV: 10 ATK: 4000 DEF: 2800)

"And let's not forget my Power Bond." said Syrus with a smile. "It doubles my Dragon's attack points."

(ATK: 4000 → 8000)

"Oh no! I'm done!" said Dimitri, sounding terrified.

"Cyber End Dragon, destroy Jack's Knight and end this duel!" commanded Syrus. Cyber End Dragon opened it's three mouths and shot a fire-ball type attack at Jack's Knight destroying it. Dimitri tried to protect himself from the blast, but he eventually fell back.

(Dimitri: 1800 → 0)

"And that's game!" Yelled Jaden from the distance. He quickly ran towards Syrus and congratulated him on his victory. Dimitri, looking angry and depressed at his loss, ran away into the forest.

"That was an amazing duel, Sy!" said Jaden in excitement, he immediately had a confused look on his face. "I don't get why you smiled when the odds were against you. Did you know you were gonna win?" Jaden asked.

"Of course, Jaden." replied Syrus. "I mean, sure I thought I was gonna lose next turn, But I remember what you did when you were in a tight spot: you always enjoyed your duels and never gave up."

"Never give up." Thought Jaden, "Always enjoyed my duels.". These made Jaden realize it. He has changed since he left Duel Academy. He never enjoyed a single duel he was in since he defeated Darkness, except one. But that duel was a long time ago.

"You okay, Jay?" asked Syrus, looking at Jaden, confused. Jaden instantly came back to reality.

"Yeah I'm fine, Syrus." said Jaden, "We should really head back to the tournament, who knows who we might run into in here."

As they both walked out of the forest, Jaden began to think about his dueling: How he never enjoyed a duel and how he never let a duel last. "Have I really lost my game?" he asked himself continuously. He looked at his duel disk. Syrus stopped and noticed that Jaden was further than him.

Jaden extends his right hand, smiling he prepares his Duel disk and draws his card. Excited, he brings out his monster: Elemental Hero Neos.

"It's time to GET MY GAME ON!" yelled Jaden excited to see Neos standing tall. He immediately ran out of the forest with a smile, Syrus followed behind, begging Jaden to slow down.

And that's chapter 4 for now. I hope everyone loved it.

Before anyone reviews, let me clarify that in Season 4, Syrus had a mixture of his own deck with Zane's so technically I could let my imagination run wild about the deck ;)

thanks for reading this chapter and please leave a review :D
