Yu-Gi-Oh GX: Season 2 – The Gentle Darkness vs The Light of Destruction
Last time so was the gang spending the last day of summer chilling in Jaden's living room after watching a movie about the KC Grand Championship, but then Jaden's mom came home from the grocery store and told them that Yugi and Joey was at the Kaiba Dome and accepted challenges from anyone who wanted to challenge them. Jaden and the others quickly left and once they got there they learned that both had decided just to accept one more challenge each. Syrus dueled against Joey and was defeated of course, but he was praised by both Yugi and Joey which made him very happy. Jaden then faced Yugi. Yugi then decided to show Jaden the respect he deserved since he was a really good duelist and finished the duel with Slifer the Sky Dragon. Then the next day the gang got on the boat that would take them back to Duel Academy, what will happen to the gang next?
Chapter 4- Back to Duel Academy and meeting a pro
Jaden were standing next to the Slifer dorm with Alexis and Syrus next to him, he looked out over the ocean, "We are finally back here, summer was really fun, but still I really missed this place".
Alexis looked at him with a smile, "I did miss Duel Academy as well", Syrus nodded, "Yeah me too", he then looked at Jaden with a smirk, "Also, let's hope that this year you might be able to stay awake in class better than during our first year". Jaden narrowed his eyes a little as he glared at Syrus while Alexis giggled a little, both boys then laughed a little before they looked out over the ocean again.
However, they suddenly heard someone call out to them, they all turned around and saw a gray haired young man in a silver suit with a black shirt underneath it, a tie and black shoes.
The teenager looked at Jaden with a smile, "Are you Jaden Yuki?" Jaden and the other two looked at him confused, "Well yeah, I'm Jaden, but um… who are you? I can't place my finger on it, but you look familiar, are you a freshman?" The teenager looked at him while he continued to smile, "You could say that, also I heard you are the best duelist in the academy, and would like to see if it's true".
Alexis and Syrus looked at Jaden and sighed as they saw an excited and confident smile appear on his face, they knew that Jaden never backed down from a challenge, and he wouldn't start now.
AT THE SAME TIME DOWN AT THE DOCKS,
Crowler were running across the docks with a short fat man with a mustache running as fast as he could behind him. Crowler looked at him irritated, "Hurry up you Swedish meatball, they're almost here".
The short man looked at Crowler irritated, "I'm France you imbecile, pardoné moi for not having longer legs, besides what's the rush about anyway?" Crowler looked at him with a smile, "I already told you Bonaparte, the freshman, their boat is arriving here as we speak".
The short man whose name were Jean-Louis Bonaparte looked at Crowler like he had grown a second head, so big deal, just because you've been promoted to school Chancellor since Sheppard isn't here for the moment, suddenly you care about things like that? I mean I'm the Vice Chancellor and I see no point in rushing out here to meet some new students, so fess up, what's the reason you've dragged me out here?"
Crowler stopped and turned towards him, "Feast your eyes on this Bonaparte", he chuckled as he took out a dueling magazine, Bonaparte looked at him really confused now, "Did I miss the joke here?"
Crowler looked at him with narrowed his eyes, "Are you calling Aster Phoenix a joke?" Bonaparte looked shocked as the picture of a gray haired teenager with a silver suit were on a page, "Not only is he the top ranked duelist in the pro league, he's also joining the freshman class of our very school".
Bonaparte looked really confused now, "There must be a mistake, "I mean, why would a world class professional be going back to school?" Crowler shook his head with a smile, "I don't know and I don't care, for with star like him under my tutorage, I'll be famous, after all, everyone in the world knows who Aster Phoenix is".
BACK WITH JADEN AND THE OTHERS,
Jaden stood in front of the new guy who just happened to be Aster Phoenix, though Jaden didn't realize that, "Alright newbie, I guess it's time to get our game on", Aster just smiled as he took out his Duel Disk and placed it on his arm as did Jaden.
At the same time up on the Slifer cliff above them stood Alexis, Syrus and Dorothy who had gone to the Slifer dorm to welcome them back to the academy, she were currently holding Pharaoh and sighed, "It's the first day back on the island and Jaden is already dueling someone, but who?"
Syrus chuckled nervously, "Beats me, but like Jaden said, he definitely looks familiar for some reason", Alexis nodded, "Yeah I know, but even so, I know that Jaden can beat him".
Jaden took out his deck and placed it into his Duel Disk, "So, what's your name freshman?" Aster looked at him with his fake smile, "You can just call me A.P". Jaden smiled and laughed a little, "Alright then AP, let's throw down". Both of them drew their first five cards.
Alexis then suddenly heard steps behind them, they looked behind them and saw Bastion and Chazz walking towards them, Bastion looked down and saw what was going on, "Looks like Jaden didn't waste much time". Chazz also looked down, "But even so, why is he challenging a freshman to a duel?"
Syrus looked at him, "Well actually, that freshman challenged him. Jaden, me and Alexis were just standing here at the Slifer cliff and looked out over the ocean when he just appeared and challenged Jaden". Bastion and Chazz looked at Alexis shocked and she nodded as she confirmed it, Syrus then looked down, "Also we don't know why but we get the feeling that we know this guy".
Aster looked at Jaden as he continued to smile, "I will start, so here goes", Aster drew his sixth card, Jaden smiled at him, "Alright then, show me what you got freshman".
Bastion's eyes widened as he looked down as well, "You're right, from where?" Chazz nodded with a puzzled look on his face, "Yeah, he really look familiar, but why?" Dorothy looked at him, "Hey Chazz, maybe he graduated from that snooty prep school you went to".
Syrus nodded as he looked at Chazz with a smirk, "Yeah that must be it, I mean he does look like the stuck up rich type". Alexis and Bastion laughed a little while Chazz glared at Syrus, "Look you little shrimp, that guy is nothing like me got it?"
But then they heard Aster say, "I summon Ojama Yellow in defense mode", Chazz fell over from the shock as they saw one of Chazz's signature cards, Ojama Yellow appear on the field on a knee with his arms crossed, Def: 1000.
Jaden looked shocked before he laughed, "An Ojama? I haven't seen anyone other than Chazz use those guys".
At the same time Chazz got back up, "See? I told you we were nothing alike, I would never make such an idiotic opening move". Ojama Yellow appeared next to his head with a smile, "You would save the best for last, right boss, right? Chazz looked at him irritated, "Wrong, now beat it". Ojama Yellow looked a little depressed as he left.
Alexis looked down, since they knew Chazz could see spirits like Jaden, she figured he must have been talking to his Ojama Yellow, "Anyway, I wonder what else he might have in that deck?"
Dorothy looked down as well, "Well not much I guess", Syrus looked at her, "Uh why are you saying that?" She looked at him, "Because he put together that deck together this morning, using random cards I had in the campus card shop. He came in and asked for some cards, and since I hadn't even put them up in the shelves yet, he decided to take whatever was lying around, saying he could win a duel with almost any cards".
The others looked at her shocked as she patted Pharaoh, "He said it would only be temporally as he needed it for a test, I guess it were to use against Jaden then". Chazz then looked down, "Are you kidding me? He's facing Jaden with leftover cards? This will be a short duel". Alexis looked down feeling confused, wondering why this person would face Jaden with a deck like that if he knew that Jaden were the best in the school.
Jaden took and drew his sixth card and looked at it, he then smiled, "Alright freshman, class is now officially in session, and here is your teacher, Elemental Hero Lady Heat", Lady Heat appeared on the field, Atk: 1300.
Jaden then grabbed a card in his hand, "And next, I play my Quick Summon spell card, so now I can also summon Elemental Hero Knospe in attack mode", Knospe appeared on the field as well, Atk: 600.
Jaden then pointed at Knospe, "And now for the first lesson, when I have another Elemental Hero on the field so can Knospe attack you directly", Knospe then took and attacked Aster, Aster LP: 4000-3400. Jaden then pointed at Knospe, "And whenever Knospe inflicts battle damage, he gains 100 attack points but loses 100 defense points", Knospe, Atk & Def: 600-700/1000-900.
Jaden then pointed at Ojama Yellow, "And for the next one, Lady Heat attack Ojama Yellow", Lady Heat unleashed her attack and destroyed Ojama Yellow. Jaden looked at Aster with a smile, "Sorry about that AP, but as you can see, you can learn a lot more from actually dueling than from some dusty old textbook".
Aster kept that smile on his face and pretended to look impressed, "Wow, you really are as good as people say". Jaden smiled at him, "Well thanks for the compliment, but when you play cards like the Ojamas it's not really that tough, unless you use an combination with them".
Chazz on the cliff looked at Syrus with a smirk, "He's right, Ojama cards are lame", but then he heard what Jaden said next, "What did you do, take lessons from my buddy Chazz?" Chazz fell to the ground in shock once again while Syrus laughed, Chazz looked at him, "You're gonna pay for that comment later Jaden".
Jaden then looked at his hand, "And with that I end my turn, which means that thanks to Lady Heat's special ability, you lose 200 life points for every Elemental Hero on my field". Lady Heat tossed two fireballs at Aster who covered his face, Aster LP: 3400-3000.
Aster took and drew his next card, "Let's try this again shall we?" He looked at the card he had just drawn, Soon I'll learn all of Jaden's strategies, all I have to do is play weak cards, he thought as he took a card in his hand. He placed it into his Duel Disk, "I place a face down and…"
Here however, he were interrupted by a ringing tone, Jaden looked confused, "Hey what's the deal here?" Aster took out a cell phone out of his pocket, "It's cool, just my cell phone", Aster then placed it to his ear as he continued to smile, "It's me, wassup? No, I'm not busy at all".
The others couldn't believe their eyes, Chazz clanked his right fist as he held it up with an angry expression, "Who the heck takes out a cell phone during a duel and began talking with someone? That's obnoxious".
Syrus nodded, "Yeah this guy really is like you Chazz". Chazz glared at him, "I'm two seconds away from giving you a free flying lesson into the ocean Syrus". Syrus immediately moved away when he heard that.
Jaden just looked at Aster shocked, Yubel appeared next to him irritated, "Who does that kid think he is? And what does he mean with that he's not busy? If he's dueling he should just focus on that". Winged Kuriboh appeared next to her with angry eyes and nodded as he agreed with her.
Jaden looked at them both out of the corner of his eye and began to mentally talk to them, "Chill guys, he's just a freshman, also he might not take dueling so seriously yet, but still, I can't get rid of this feeling that I have seen him before". Yubel nodded as he said that, thinking that she had seen him somewhere before also.
As Jaden talked to his duel spirits, Aster continued talking to the one on the other end, "That's right, I'm dueling as we speak, so, you have any last minute advice for me?"
SOMEWHERE ELSE AT THAT MOMENT,
A man in a white cloak with a hood sat at a glass table with cards upside down in front of him, he was the one Aster were talking to. He flipped a card up and it were a reaper card that were upside down, he had a smile on his face, "The reaper of souls are upside down, you know what must be done now". Even so the man were troubled, since he started trying to predict the future of the boy Jaden Yuki, who he knew were going to stand in his way, he felt like some kind of powerful force were making it hard for him to predict his future, like some kind of almighty force were shielding him from his visions. When he tried, three cards that represented demons of spirit, fire and lightning usually appeared, though he couldn't understand why.
BACK TO ASTER,
Aster nodded as he heard what the man said, "You got it, thanks for the call", Aster then put away his phone and looked at his cards, Jaden looked at him, "So, are you gonna play a good card now?"
Aster looked at him, "You mean like this? I play the spell card Reload, so now I get to return all the cards in my hand to my deck, shuffle it, and then draw the same amount of cards". Jaden looked at him, "So you're gonna replace your hand with a new one?"
Aster placed his four remaining cards into his deck and shuffled it while he smiled at Jaden, "Well you're the one who said I needed better cards", Jaden nodded, "Well I guess that's true, so then, let's see if your trust for your deck will pay of freshman".
Aster looked at Jaden as he drew his four cards, feeling a little irritated, I still don't understand why I had to duel against this amateur in the first place, oh well I guess if he wanted me to test him I should just do as he said, after all he knows what he's doing, Aster thought as he looked at his cards.
Jaden looked at him, "So, did you get anything good?" Aster grabbed a card in his hand and the slot for field spells opened, "Only this, I activate field spell Sanctuary in the Sky".
Jaden got blinded by a powerful light, and then as he opened his eyes he saw clouds underneath his feet and a temple in front of him, "A field spell huh? Well what does it do?"
Aster looked at him, "As long as it's on the field, any damage a player would take that involves a fairy type monster they control becomes 0, and that's not all, next I summon Warrior of Zera in attack mode". A dark skinned warrior with green armor on his upper body with blue pants and a red scarf appeared with a sword in his hand, Atk: 1600.
Aster then took the card and placed it into his graveyard, "But he won't be around for long, because by sacrificing him while having Sanctuary of the Sky on the field I can summon Archlord Zerato in attack mode". Warrior of Zera left the field and out came a winged creature, Atk: 2800.
Jaden looked impressed, "Not bad, bringing out a monster with 2800 attack points on the second turn". Aster then placed a card into the graveyard, "If you like that just wait, because by sending a light attribute monster, like my Mystical Shine Ball to the graveyard, Archlord Zerato can destroy everyone of your monster".
He sent Mystical Shine Ball to the graveyard and both Knospe and Lady Heat got hit by a beam of light from the top of the temple, destroying both of them. Aster then pointed at Jaden, "And now, Archlord Zerato will attack you directly, go Sacred Surge". Zerato flew up, his wings began to glow and then he sent glowing feathers from his wings towards Jaden and exploded as they made contact with the ground around him, Jaden LP: 4000-1200.
Syrus looked shocked, "Oh man, this guy is good even though he just put this deck together earlier with just some leftover cards, it makes you wonder how good he would be with his real deck", Alexis agreed and looked at Aster, she had no idea who the guy were but he were too skilled to be a student at Duel Academy, she wondered who this guy were more than ever now.
Aster then looked as Archlord Zerato landed on the ground again, "That's all for now", he then looked at Jaden who were still covering his face, "Hey uh, are you okay?" He then heard Jaden laughing before lowering his arms, "Okay, are you kidding? I was hoping for a good challenge the first day back on the island, and best of all, now it's my move".
Jaden drew his next card and looked at it, "I summon Elemental Hero Bubbleman in attack mode". Bubbleman appeared on the field, Atk: 800. Jaden then took and drew two cards, "And he's alone on the field, I get to draw two more cards".
Jaden then looked at the cards and then showed both of them, "And both of them are going into action, I play Polymerization, and now I fuse Bubbleman with Avian in order to summon Elemental Hero Mariner in attack mode". Bubbleman and Avian got sucked into the vortex and out came Mariner, Atk: 1400.
Jaden then grabbed the last three cards in his hand, "Next I throw down two face downs and play Mirage of Nightmare, now I get to draw until I hold four cards during your standby phase, but during my standby phase I have discard the same amount I drew to the grave".
Jaden then looked at Mariner, "And now Mariner old pal, time to show him what you can do". He looked at Aster, "You see as long as I have at least one face down spell or trap card, Mariner can attack you directly, so now go". Mariner then took and tossed the anchors on one of his arms towards Aster and it hit him, Aster LP: 3000-1600. Jaden then looked at Aster, "And with that, I end my turn, so now the trouble here freshman, last turn you used up all the cards in your hand, which means if I have some card to protect my Hero, you have low chance to counter it unless you draw a good card now".
Aster looked at Jaden, "Well then all I can say is if I manage to draw a light attribute monster then I can destroy that Mariner, and then it won't matter if you have a way to protect him, now let's see what fate has in store for me".
Jaden looked at him, "It's not about fate, but listening, remember what I told you about having trust for your deck? You see, I always listen to my deck". Aster looked at him irritated, "You really are crazy, come on, I mean do you really expect me to have a conversation with my cards?"
Jaden nodded his head, "Sure, I mean, if you trust them and show it to them, they just might answer you", Yubel and Winged Kuriboh nodded with smiles as Jaden smiled at them as well.
Aster looked at Jaden, This Jaden guy is not what I expected, he gives advices meant for beginners, he seems to be an idiot with how he's acting, and now it seems like he's hearing voices, well whatever, it doesn't matter if he's crazy or not, let's just get this over with so that I can move on with my life, he thought.
AT THE SAME TIME SOMEWHERE ELSE,
The man Aster had talked to turned around the in front of him, he smiled, "Ah, the inverted chariot, the forewarning that the end of the duel is near", however he then looked next to him, the card he had picked up before the chariot was the card of the demon that represented fire, he were troubled over how often those demon cards appeared every time he tried to predict Jaden Yuki's fate.
BACK TO THE DUEL,
Aster took and drew his next card and looked at it and narrowed his eyes a little as he saw that it was Monster Gate. Jaden then placed his fingers on his deck, "And now I draw until I'm holding four".
He drew his cards and then pressed a button on his Duel Disk, "Next I play Emergency Provision, so now by sending my Mirage of Nightmare to the graveyard, I get to keep my hand and I also gain 1000 life points". Mirage of Nightmare disappeared, Jaden LP: 1200-2200
Jaden looked at Aster, "Got a bad card huh AP? You really should try and keep your face neutral, so that the opponent can't read your face". Aster got a smile on his face, "Perhaps your right, or maybe I just want you to think that it's a bad card, or could it be that I don't really want to win this duel?"
Jaden along with his duel spirits looked at Aster shocked when he said that, "And people usually call me crazy, why would you not try to win?" Aster looked at him with a smirk, "When you accepted my challenge, did you ever stop to wonder, why do I want, why did I come here, and most importantly, out of every duelist on the island, why did I challenge you?"
Jaden raised an eyebrow confused, Aster looked at him, "Well the truth is, I heard you were the best at the academy, so I came here to test you and see if it was true". Jaden looked at him shocked, "Come on are you serious? I mean this is Duel Academy, they test us here every day, but those tests are never as sweet as this".
Aster looked at him with a smirk, "Of course they're not, after all, this duel is not about grades, it's about destiny". Jaden looked at him shocked, Aster pressed a button on his Duel Disk, "Maybe my Beckoning Light will clear things up for you, here's the deal, by discarding my entire hand, I can add a light attribute monster, in this case, Mystical Shine Ball back to my hand".
Aster sent Monster Gate to the graveyard and Shine Ball came out and he grabbed it, ",Next I use Zerato's ability again, and you know what that means don't you? That sailor of yours is about to disappear on the seven seas, see you". The beam of light came out and hit Mariner and destroyed him.
Jaden looked at Aster, "Not bad, but not good enough, I play Elemental Mirage, now since an Elemental Hero on my field were destroyed because of an effect, I can bring him back in the same battle position, come back Mariner". Mariner returned to the field in attack mode, Atk: 1400.
Aster looked at him, "Doesn't matter, Now Archlord Zerato attack Elemental Hero Mariner with Sacred Surge". Zerato flew up and his wings began to glow again before he sent glowing feathers towards Mariner and destroyed him, Jaden LP: 2200-800.
Jaden looked at Aster, "Looks like I'm still standing, anyway, what was all that talk about destiny?" Aster looked at him with a small smirk, "It's simple really, even you should understand, you see everything that happens to us has already been determined since the day we were born, losers are born to be losers, and legends are born to be legends".
Jaden looked at Aster confused, "A legend? You aren't talking about me right, well one day maybe but not yet, also…" he then looked at Aster with a serious look on his face, "Sure we might be born to do something in our lives, but not every single step of our lives are predetermined". Jaden then scratched his back as he laughed a little, while he did Aster thought back to the reason why he had come here to challenge Jaden in the first place.
FLASHBACK,
Aster stood in front of the man in the cloak, he looked at Aster, "Once you locate this Jaden Yuki, he is to defeat you, is that understood, it is the only way I can be certain if he's indeed the one, trust me it's for the best".
Aster just looked confused and a little bothered by this, "There's got to be another way, I've never thrown a duel before in my life". The man looked at him, "Aster, have I ever once steered you on the wrong path? You must trust me".
END OF FLASHBACK,
So with that Aster had gone to Duel Academy to find Jaden Yuki and use a temporally deck he would put together at the academy to face him. But even now as he were dueling him he still didn't understand, How can a manager tell his star player to lose on purpose? He thought as he looked at Jaden.
Jaden then placed his fingers on his deck, "Alright, it's my turn", he took and drew his next card and looked at it and got a smirk on his face. He then grabbed another card in his hand, "Now I play Fusion Sage, so now I can add a Polymerization card from my deck to my hand". Jaden took out his deck and looked through it and then grabbed a Polymerization card and added it to his hand before shuffling the deck and placing it back into his Duel Disk.
Jaden then grabbed three cards in his hand, "Now I play Polymerization, and I use it to fuse together my Necroshade and Wildheart in order to summon Elemental Hero Escuridao". Wildheart and Necroshade got sucked into the vortex and out came Elemental Hero Escuridao, Atk: 2500. Jaden then pointed at his new Hero, "And thanks to Escuridao's special ability, he gains 100 attack points for every Elemental Hero in the graveyard, and I have seven". Escuridao, Atk: 2500-3200.
Syrus looked excited, "Awesome! Escuridao is now more than powerful enough to take down that Archlord Zerato and then his life points will be down to 1200". Chazz looked at him, "No he won't, thanks to Sanctuary of the Sky the battle damage will be reduced to 0". Syrus got a sheepish look on his face, "Right I forgot". Alexis smiled as she looked at Jaden and saw the smirk on his face, "I think Jaden has what he need to end the duel this turn".
Jaden then grabbed one of the cards in his hand, "Next I play R – Righteous Justice, so now for every Elemental Hero on my field, I get to destroy one spell or trap card on your side of the field, so say good bye to Sanctuary of the Sky".
A blast was fired at the temple and a blinding light appeared as the field spell got destroyed, soon so were they standing on the coast once again. Jaden then pointed at Aster, "And now Escuridao, attack Archlord Zerato with Dark Diffusion".
The weapon on Escuridao's arm began to glow and he then fired a blast from it and hit Archlord Zerato and destroyed him, Aster LP: 1600-1200. Jaden then grabbed the final card in his hand and placed it into his Duel Disk, "Now I play De-Fusion, so now I split Escuridao back into Necroshade and Wildheart".
Escuridao then separated and then Necroshade appeared first on the field, Atk: 1600. And then Wildheart appeared as he drew his sword, Atk: 1500. Jaden then pointed at Aster, "Now Necroshade, attack his life points directly with Dark Shadow Slash", Necroshade then moved towards Aster before he vanished from sighed in high speed, he then appeared behind Aster and struck him, Aster LP: 1200-0.
Jaden then walked over to Aster, "And that's game, hey you're okay right? I hope I didn't beat you too badly". Aster smiled, "Nah, I'm fine, really nice game dude". Jaden smiled as Aster stood up, "Right back at you, you had some pretty good moves yourself, keep practicing and you will probably become a great duelist in the future". Jaden held out his hand, after looking at it for a second so grabbed Aster it and shook it before he began to walk away, "So I guess I see you around then".
Dorothy looked down with a smile, "That was quite the duel, and that new mystery student is quite good looking right, anyone who heard his name?" The others looked at her as she said that and Syrus said unsure, "Uh A.P".
Aster as he walked away were still wondering what this were all about, I don't get it, I mean sure this Jaden kid is a decent duelist, but I can't see why my manager is so obsessed with him, and I also don't understand how joining this school will help my career in anyway, but I guess Sartorius knows what's best, he always does, he thought. He then looked and saw Jaden's friends and the woman named Dorothy from the card shop at the cliff. Dorothy waved at him and he did a small polite bow with a small smile as he walked away while the others looked after him.
Jaden walked up to the others with a smile, "So what did you think of my first duel of the year guys?" He then noticed Chazz and Bastion and greeted them and they greeted him back. Syrus smiled at Jaden, "You rocked Jaden, as usual, now who was that guy?"
Jaden looked after him, "Not sure, but I'm sure we'll meet him again, if I only could put my finger on where I have seen him before". Then all of them jumped in shocked as Bastion suddenly cried out, "That's it!" Before anyone could ask what was going on, he looked at Syrus, "Sy, do you have the latest dueling magazine?"
Syrus nodded, "Yeah I have it in my backpack", he opened it and took it out and handed it to Bastion who began to looked through it, he then stopped, "I knew it, he said to call him A.P, well it seems like my hunch were correct, he's Aster Phoenix!"
The other's eyes widened in shock as he said that, Jaden looked confused for a few seconds before he suddenly got a look of understanding on his face, "Wait, when you say Aster Phoenix do you mean that hotshot duelist in the pro league that is currently undefeated?"
Bastion nodded, "Indeed, it's him alright, just looked", he showed a picture from the magazine and they saw that the duelist Jaden had just face were indeed Aster. Jaden looked out over the ocean, "This doesn't add up, why would Aster Phoenix come here to challenge me? While I'm honored I don't think he did it because he knew of my skills, I mean, it didn't feel like that deck was his real one, I mean sure he used it pretty well and all, but still…"
At that moment Dorothy spoke up, "Well I feel I should tell you this now Jaden, You're right about that that deck weren't his real one, he put it together this morning from random cards from the card shop". Jaden looked at her shocked before looking out over the ocean again, now feeling a little troubled.
"I get a weird feeling from this you guys, did any of you hear what he said to me, he talked a lot about destiny, and he also asked me of all the duelists on the island, why did he challenge me of all people? All of this makes me think… that someone might have sent him to the island just to face me".
The others looked at him confused, Yubel then appeared next to him, "Yes I agree Jaden, the way he talked made it look like he came to the island just to face you and to test your skills, but for what reason?" Jaden himself had no answer to that, but there were one thing he was sure of, and that was that he most likely hadn't seen the last of Aster Phoenix, and if he came here just to duel Jaden, he most likely would have to duel him again, and next time it would be for real.
A WHILE LATER DOWN AT THE DOCKS,
Crowler sat down next to the boat with Bonaparte as the freshman students walked off it and passed them, however Crowler were really depressed, since he didn't see Aster Phoenix anywhere as the last student they had seen walked passed them, "I just don't understand this, he isn't coming, Aster!"
Bonaparte then heard someone say, "Left, right, left, right", he looked up and saw one more student coming down from the boat and got a smile on his face, "Au contraire mon frère, he's right there, twelve o'clock". Crowler instantly looked up with a happy and hoping look on his face.
But as the student jumped down on the docks, they saw that he was definitely NOT Aster Phoenix. He was a tall muscular teenager with a Ra yellow jacket without sleeves as well as a green shirt, Khaki pants, he had a yellow bandana tied around his head with the face of a dinosaur on it with black dreadlocks coming out from behind it, had steel toed boots and had a military issue backpack over his shoulder.
He looked at them, "Hey ladies! Can you tell me who is in charge around here". Bonaparte and Crowler looked at him shocked, "Ladies?!" Both then cried out, feeling anger growing within them because of this kid's rudeness.
The teenager walked over to them as he had an irritated look on his face, "You heard me, who's top in command in these parts?" Crowler who felt this kid were a little weird since he talked like a soldier spoke up, "That would be me, now then what…"
However Crowler couldn't finish his sentence as the teenager grabbed the collar of his jacket much to Bonaparte's shock, the teenager pulled Crowler closer to him with an angry expression on his face, "I demand answers, why am I stationed in the yellow barracks, I want to be in the blue".
Crowler began to sweat a lot, if this kid decided to get physical then he could easily beat them up, and he doubted he would listen if Crowler told him to stop because of his anger, "Well you see... it's because…" Crowler then cast a quick glance at Bonaparte, "Anytime you want to jump in Bonaparte".
Bonaparte who were just as worried about that this kid would use violence if he didn't get an explanation, quickly came up with an excuse, "Well, what my colleague here is trying to say is, someone like you wouldn't want to be stuck in the blue dorm".
The kid looked at him as he let go of Crowler, "Yeah, and why is that huh? Explain!" Crowler who now felt a little safer since the kid had let go of him calmed down and came up with an excuse, "Well it's of course because you're so… daring, yeah that's it, a thrill seeker like you doesn't belong with a boring bunch like the students of Obelisk blue".
Bonaparte looked out from behind Crowler and nodded, the kid looked at them, his angry expression now gone and he had a smile on his face, "Yeah? Well thank you I think, you gals are alright in my book, for March, left, right, left, right".
Crowler and Bonaparte looked after him as he walked past them, "Who the heck was that guy?" Bonaparte shrugged his shoulder since he had no idea either. Crowler sighed and looked up, "I knew it, this place has become nothing but a big joke, in order to make this school rise to greatness, we need a star like Aster Phoenix here to draw fame to it".
Bonaparte stood up with a determined look on his face, "You're right", Crowler looked at him, "Yeah but he stood us up Bonaparte", Bonaparte looked at Crowler with a smirk on his face, "We don't need that guy, after all we could have a whole school full of stars just as great as or even greater than him".
Crowler looked at him confused, "I'm afraid I don't follow". Bonaparte looked at Crowler, "I mean we simply eliminate the Slifer red dorm, then it's au revoir to slackers like Jaden Yuki and hello stars".
Crowler and Bonaparte laughed a little, however Crowler didn't really take what Bonaparte said seriously, however he had no idea that Bonaparte were 100 percent serious about what he said, and was determined to do everything he could to go through with his plan.
