Hi everyone! I know it's been ages since I've done a chapter for Roxas in GX, but as promised, I've done one. I had to finish the Legend of Signers story since a the time, it was close to finishing.

But anyway, this is based on the dubbed second episode and it continues on from Roxas and Jaden's duel in the previous chapter.

Please enjoy and review!


Chapter 3 - First Obelisk Battle

It's been 20 minutes since Roxas and Jaden had their duel at the Slifer Red Dorm and so far, they have had some encounters with other students. First of when Roxas, Jaden and Syrus had a look at their room, Jaden wanted to lighten up the room by opening the curtains, but heard someone say that they were 'closed for a reason'. It was a chubby guy with black hair and he has a white shirt with red seamings and red buttons, his name was Chumley.

Chumley was explaining how the dorm system works, saying that the academy is split into three dorms, Obelisk Blue, Ra Yellow and Slifer Red. He explained that the obelisk blue dorm is reserved for "elite" students, who do very well on their entrance exams and have inside connections. While the ra yellow dorm is for the middle-ground students or housing students with successful exams. Finally, the slifer red dorm is where new students are placed, in which the academy feels have little potential. After hearing that from Chumley, Syrus was feeling a little down being in the underdog dorm out of the whole academy, but as a best friend, Jaden cheered him up by saying 'red is a sweet colour'.

Jaden wanted to explore the main building, using his 'sixth sense of dueling', he found an enormous arena that even Roxas and Syrus awed at. Jaden thought about dueling there, but two students in blue said that it was only reserved for obelisk students. One of the students recognised Jaden as the one who beat Crowler in the entrance exams and called out someone who had spiky hair. His name is Chazz Princeton.

Chazz thought about that duel between Jaden and Crowler, he guessed the win was either just luck or a fluke. So Jaden was about to duel him, but it got interrupted by another obelisk student. It was a female student named Alexis Rhodes. She reminded Chazz about the obelisk welcoming dinner and that left the slifers to their slifer welcoming dinner. Due to the dorm system, the food and drink from the obelisk and ra dorms were quite fancy. However, in the slifer red dorm, their fancy welcome dinner looked a lot smaller compared to the obelisk and ra dorm dinners. The slifer red dinners consisted of a couple of fried shrimp, vegetables, rice and lots of sauces.

One of the students was saying as he got his dinner. "This is our fancy welcome dinner?!" Another student looked at the opposite side of the hall. "Forget that! Check out our headmaster! It's a cat!" Indeed, like the student said, a big cat was yawning and was about to go sleep, but something behind it moved. It was a beady curtain and out it came a Asian man in his late 40s or 50s.

The Asian man waved his right hand at the students and greeted them. "Hello there children, I'm Professor Banner, now before we eat, I like you all to tell us something about yourselves-" But Professor Banner got interrupted by Jaden. "Man! This is great!" Roxas face-palmed at Jaden's comment with Syrus saying, "We're supposed to say something about ourselves". Jaden replied, "How about this? I'm starving!" Syrus added in a nervous tone, "He's walking over to us, I mean it, Jaden he's walking..."

A shadow cast over the three Slifer students, as Professor Banner was very close to them. The three Slifer students look up at the Headmaster, as he smiled. "Well, since no one feels like talking, let's just eat!" Jaden smiled and continued eating the fried shrimp, Syrus breathed a sigh of relief. Roxas looked at the both of them and started to eat his dinner. From Roxas' opinion, the dinner was actually quite tasty than it looked. Roxas looked to his right to see Syrus picking at his food, unsure on what it would taste like. Roxas smiled at him. "It tastes better than it looks, honestly".


After the big feast, Roxas, Jaden and Syrus went back to their room, where they met Chumley. Jaden was sitting against the wall patting his belly. "I'm stuffed! I'm telling ya, Professor Banner sure can cook, wow". Roxas was sitting at the desk chair looking at Syrus, who was pouring boiling water into four individual mugs. "Yeah and he seems like a pretty nice guy".

Syrus walked up to Jaden with a tray and Jaden grabbed one of the mugs. Syrus offered a mug to Roxas, but he politely declines. "No thanks, I'm not much of a hot drink person". Syrus didn't mind this and asked Chumley, who was still in his bed the last time they saw him. "Hey Chumley, do you want some tea?" Chumley answered. "Did I say I was thirsty?!" Jaden looked at Chumley. "Hey! He only asked if you wanted some tea, you don't have to snap at him". Syrus just sighed. "That's okay Jaden, I'm used to it".

Suddenly, a noise came from a device that was on Jaden's belt. Jaden picked up the device, which was a PDA that each student obtained. It was showing a message of a Obelisk Blue student that they met before, it was Chazz.

"Hey Slifer slacker, at midnight it's on, oh and why don't we make it interesting, whoever wins gets the other guy's best card".

The PDA went to its home page and Jaden smiled, knowing what to do. "Sweet, looks like I get to duel in the arena after all". Chumley turned slightly. "If that's Chazz you're dueling, all you got is trouble".

It was 11:45 and the three slifers were about to enter the arena. Syrus was a little unsure about this situation and he was trying to back him out of this. "I'm not sure if this is a good idea Jaden". Jaden added in. "Good or bad, if someone challenges you to a duel you gotta step up, there's no choice". Roxas nodded, agreeing with what Jaden had to say. As Jaden reached the arena, Chazz was waiting with his arms crossed and the other two obelisk blue students, that the three slifers saw before, were standing next to him.

Chazz smiled. "Well, well, he shows". Jaden smiled back. "You better believe it, there was no way I was missing this". Jaden walked up to the arena and each of them was about to get their decks ready for dueling. "Time to see if your victory from Dr. Crowler was a fluke or a fact". Jaden added, "Yeah and we're gonna learn something too, like which one of us is really the King of Games". Chazz replied back. "Yeah, yeah, just make sure you've got your best card ready to hand in".


Jaden - 4000

Chazz - 4000

Jaden replied. "You too, now game on!" Both duelists got their duel disks ready and each one gave out a small glow of light, giving the indication that they activated. "DUEL!" Chazz drew his card. "Alright slacker..." Chazz looked at his hand which contained, Mefist the Infernal General, Call of the Haunted, Pandemonium Watchbear, Helpoemer, Reborn Zombie and his drawn card was Chthonian Polymer. "...For my first move, I summon Reborn Zombie in defense mode!"

Reborn Zombie - ATK 1000 DEF 1600 LV4 Zombie / Effect - DARK

While you have no cards in your hand and this card is in Attack Position, it cannot be destroyed by battle. (Damage calculation is applied normally.)

"And I'll place one card face down". He placed Chthonian Polymer face down with Reborn Zombie and Jaden said out loud, "Well that's one way to start a duel, but I'm gonna go a little bigger".

Jaden's Turn

Jaden looked at his hand which contained, Elemental Hero Burstinatrix, Elemental Hero Clayman, Elemental Hero Sparkman, Polymerization, Winged Kuriboh and the card he drew was Elemental Hero Avian. His Winged Kuriboh leaned to the right a little and made his noise he made back at the entrance exam. Jaden looked at Kuriboh with a smile, but he picked Polymerization from his hand and two other monsters. "...I'll play Polymerization and fuse Avian and Burstinatrix to create Flame Wingman!"

Elemental Hero Flame Wingman - ATK 2100 DEF 1200 LV6 Warrior / Fusion / Effect - WIND

"Elemental Hero Avian" + "Elemental Hero Burstinatrix"

This monster cannot be Special Summoned except by Fusion Summon. When this card destroys a monster by battle and sends it to the Graveyard, inflict damage to your opponent equal to the ATK of the destroyed monster.

Jaden showed Chazz the fusion card. "I told you I start big, didn't I?" Chazz replied with a smirk. "I was hoping you do that..." Jaden looked confused at Chazz. "...because that face down I placed was a trap slacker, that you set off! Chthonian Polymer, do your stuff!" The trap card revealed itself and it was glowing dark pink.

Chthonian Polymer - Normal Trap

You can only activate this card when your opponent Fusion Summons a Fusion Monster. Tribute 1 monster on your side of the field to take control of that Fusion Monster.

Syrus was confused. "What's Chthonian Polymer- stuff?" A voice spoke behind Syrus and Roxas. "I had a feeling I find you guys here". Both Syrus and Roxas turned to see Alexis walking next to them, Roxas answered Syrus' question for him. "That's a nasty trap. By sacrificing one of your own monsters, you can take control of an opponent's fusion monster, looks like Jaden is in trouble".

Chazz spoke up after Roxas' explanation. "I sacrifice Reborn Zombie to gain control of your Wingman!" Chazz's monster was blown into pieces and a beam came out from the trap card, taking Flame Wingman with it. After the beam took Flame Wingman, it appeared on Chazz's side but glowing purple. "You're so predicable Jaden, you wouldn't stop talking about that Wingman in the exam, so I knew you use him soon".

Jaden relaxed a bit. "Still, since that Wingman was a special summon, that means I'm allowed to summon another monster during my turn". Jaden looked at his hand and added in his mind. 'Not that anything in my hand is any match for the Wingman'. Chazz grinned at Jaden. 'Go on you Slifer slacker, play another monster. After all, I haven't forgot about the Wingman's super power'. Jaden got a card from his hand. "Alright, I summon Elemental Hero Clayman in defense mode!" A bulgy warrior made out of rocks punched up in the air, but it then kneeled down in defense. "There, all set".

Elemental Hero Clayman - ATK 800 DEF 2000 LV4 Warrior / Normal - EARTH

Chazz's Turn

Chazz drew his card and added, "Yeah, set up to get knocked down, rise Chthonian Soldier!"

Chthonian Soldier - ATK 1200 DEF 1400 LV4 Warrior / Effect - DARK

When this monster is destroyed, your opponent takes any Battle Damage you took from that battle.

"Now Flame Wingman, attack with Skydive Scorcher!" Like what Wingman did with Ancient Gear Golem, he dived right through Clayman, smashing it into pieces. Jaden covered his eyes from the blow. "And now thanks to Wingman's super power, your life points take damage equal to your destroyed monster's attack points". Like Chazz said, Flame Wingman went close to Jaden and shot flames onto Jaden, lowering his life points. "But don't think for one second that I'm done yet slacker! Chthonian Soldier attack, Windstorm Slash!" The sword the soldier was holding slashed right through Jaden's chest, lowering the life points.

Jaden - 2000

"Are you starting to know your place here at the Academy yet? Maybe you were somebody back at home, but here in the big leagues, you're nothing but a pathetic little amateur! Slifer slime! I'll end my turn with a face down card, go ahead slacker!"

Jaden's Turn

Jaden looked like he was crying on the other end. "Oh what's wrong baby? Are you crying?" But what Chazz heard from Jaden surprised him. Instead of cries of sadness, it suddenly changed to laughter. Jaden faced Chazz with a smile. "This is too fun! Just what I came for! Man, I mean the trash-talking, the action, it's all so great!" All Chazz said in return was "What the?" Jaden got a card from his hand. "I summon Elemental Hero Sparkman!"

Elemental Hero Sparkman - ATK 1600 DEF 1400 LV4 Warrior / Normal - LIGHT

"Alright Sparkman, now! Attack with Static Shockwave!" Out of one of Sparkman's palms comes out lots of electricity that shocked Chthonian Soldier to bits. But something unexpected happened, a sword that the soldier had, hovered up from the explosion and hit Jaden's chest straight on.

Jaden - 1600

"Still think it's great slacker? Because when Chthonian Soldier is destroyed, you receive the same amount of damage to your life points as I did. Difference is you hardly have any to spare! It's just a matter of time slacker, your best card is about to be all mine!" Jaden slides a card in a hollow slot. "This isn't over yet, I throw down a face down!"

Chazz's Turn

"Play what you like, my next attack will finish off your life points!" Chazz drew his card. "And that attack is coming right now! Go Flame Wingman!" Flame Wingman was about to attack Jaden, but Jaden declared, "Not so fast! That was a trap card I just threw!" The trap card revealed itself and Syrus knew what it was. "It's Mirror Gate!" And Alexis added, "Then Jaden is still in this duel after all, Mirror Gate makes two monsters in a battle switch which side there on, so now that Wingman is back with Jaden".

Mirror Gate - Normal Trap

Activate only when an opponent's monster battles a face-up monster that you control. Switch control of the battling monsters, and then calculate damage. Control of those monsters switch back on the End Phase.

Both Sparkman and Wingman were fighting in a clash, but Wingman won the fight and Chazz was going to lose a lot of life points. "Just like you told me a while ago, don't forget my Wingman's super power, you take damage equal to the attack points of your destroyed monster!"

Chazz - 1500

Syrus and Alexis were cheering for Jaden on that move. "Nice moves, Jaden!" But Chazz added, "More like lucky moves if you ask me you Slifer school scum!" Chazz picked a card and announced, "Alright, I activate Chthonian Blast!"

Chthonian Blast - Normal Spell

Activate only when a face-up monster you control is destroyed and sent to the Graveyard. Destroy 1 face-up monster on the field and inflict damage to your opponent equal to half of its ATK.

"Now, since you destroyed one of my monsters, I can destroy one of yours and you take damage equal to half of its attack points".

Jaden - 550

Chazz pointed to his face down. "Now I activate the trap card, Call of the Haunted! It lets me select one monster card from my graveyard and summon it back to the field in attack mode..."

Call of the Haunted - Continuous Trap

Activate this card by targeting 1 monster in your Graveyard; Special Summon that target in face-up Attack Position. When this card leaves the field, destroy that target. When that target is destroyed, destroy this card.

"...Rise Chthonian Soldier! But he won't be staying on the field for long, because I'm going to sacrifice him to summon Mefist the Infernal General!"

Mefist the Infernal General - ATK 1800 DEF 1700 LV5 Fiend / Effect - DARK

When this card attacks with an ATK that is higher than the DEF of your opponent's Defense Position monster, inflict the difference as Battle Damage to your opponent's Life Points. When this card inflicts Battle Damage to your opponent's Life Points, discard 1 card randomly from your opponent's hand.

Jaden's Turn

Jaden continues to smile at Chazz and he comments. "Not bad". Chazz replied, "Not bad? You're something else slacker, you know that? Acting all confident, but your lousy monsters won't get you out of this jam". A noise that only Jaden and Roxas can hear, was called out from Jaden's hand. He said to himself, "I know he's wrong Kuriboh..." Kuriboh made a wink and a noise as a response. "...Because Chazz doesn't know that my monsters and I, we have... a bond" Jaden drew his next card and smiled at it. 'Speaking of...'


But Alexis interrupted the two duelists. "Uh, guys! We've got company, Campus Security. If they find us all in here, we'll get seriously busted". Both Syrus and Roxas widened their eyes at Alexis, while Jaden and Chazz's duel faded out from the arena. Jaden looked confused at Alexis. "Why? I mean we're all students here".

Alexis showed them some sort of pass and explained. "The rules say no off hour arena duels and Chazz knows that. But let me guess, he didn't tell you". One of the obelisk blue students called out to Chazz. "C'mon let's go!" Chazz was about to leave, but said to Jaden, "Well, well slacker, looks like you lucked out this time". Jaden looked confused at Chazz. "What are you talking about? The match isn't over". Chazz answered, "Yeah it is, I've seen what I came here to see, you're a sorry duelist, you beating Dr. Crowler was just a fluke".

Roxas said behind him, "Jaden I hate to break it to you, but we've got to get out of here now!" Jaden was getting stubborn and he said to himself, "This stinks! I had this guy on the ropes!" Roxas sighed. "If you know a quick way out, that would be great". Alexis nodded and she headed to a hidden hole for them to escape. About two minutes later, three guys in slate coloured suits walked into the arena, finding no one in sight.

The place Alexis found seem to lead them to the front of the academy building. Syrus was pushing Jaden away from the arena. "You certainly are stubborn Jaden". Jaden answered for her. "Only about my dueling". Roxas laughed a bit and replied to Alexis with a smile. "Thanks for showing us the way out". Alexis looked back at the three slifers. "Sure, I'm sorry that you didn't get to finish your match with Chazz".

Jaden smiled. "It's okay, I know just how it would have ended anyway". Alexis looked confused. "Really? No offensive, but from my point of view, it looked like it could have gone either way between you and Chazz when you guys stopped". Jaden explained. "No way, not after I drew this!" The card Jaden mentioned was turned over and it was the Spell Card, Monster Reborn.

Roxas smiled and he knew what Jaden meant. With Monster Reborn, he could bring back Flame Wingman and attack his Mefist, then with Wingman's ability, it would have taken the rest of Chazz's life points. Jaden smirked and gave a wave. "See ya" He started to walk his way back to the dorm with Roxas following him and Syrus was catching up behind him saying, "Hey! Wait up!" Alexis looked at the three slifers with a smile. 'This is going to be one interesting year...'


Well, what do you think? Please review, the more the better!
