Chapter 6 - Loving Brothers (Part 2)
The next day Laviss walked around the forest once again to clear her mind of yesterday's events.
'I hope Sy's doing better than he was before. Still, he's gotta learn Zane's message by himself. I just wish he'll do it before it's too late.' thought Laviss as she saw Jaden walking and mumbling to himself
"Jaden!!" cried Laviss as she ran towards him
Looking up Jaden saw Laviss and waved to her "Hey Lavs, how's it going?"
"Good." she said "But, I was wondering if Sy's been doing ok. I kind of talked to him yesterday, but he didn't seem quite himself."
"Well, I'd say his up a bit, but not too much." he said while rubbing the back of his head "So, I'm guessing you know about the tag match."
"Um… not from him. Can I ask you why you and Sy are in a tag match though?" asked Laviss as she started walking with Jaden
"Sure." said Jaden as he started telling her about the abandoned dorms, Alexis' missing brother, the exploration he had with Sy and another Slifer, who was Chumley, the duel with Titan, and finally ending it with Crowler's idea of having a tag match as punishment for trespassing the abandoned dorms.
'HA!! I was right!! This is sound so much like Crowler!' thought Laviss as she shook her head "So if you lose the match, you and Sy will be expelled from Duel Academy." she said
"Yup, but no worries. I know me and Sy are gonna to do great." said Jaden
Laviss smiled at the Slifer. "So what were you doing before I found you."
"Huh? Oh! I was gonna request a duel with Sy's older bro, Zane. But dumb Crowler ripped up my form before I had a chance to fill it in."
The red head raised a brow "Why Zane?"
"So I can boost Sy's confidence and also to see how I rank up against him." Jaden said with enthusiasm
"AHHH!!" screamed a voice. And at the same time, Jaden and Laviss had cards dropped on their heads
"What was that?" asked Laviss as she grabbed a card that was stuck in her hair
Looking up, she saw a Slifer student, with black hair shaped like koala ears, black eyes, and a big nose, hanging upside down from a tree. His big arms where grasping a branch with his dear life.
'That's the Slifer I saw with Alexis the other day.' The boy tried to lift himself upright, but that did more bad than good for him as his balanced was thrown off by the movement and slowly losing his grip from the branch
"That's either a giant tree sloth." Jaden squint his eyes to get a closer look "…Or it's Chumley." he said as he sweat dropped
'So this is Chumley.' thought Laviss. She couldn't imagine what he was doing in a tree to begin with. But she put that question aside as she saw the hundreds of cards lying on the ground. Without thinking, she began picking up the fallen cards.
"Wow Chum! There's like a zillion koala cards down here." said Jaden as he help Laviss pick them up as well
"Yeah, they so totally rule." said Chumley, still hanging onto the branch "Wanna have a pick-up duel against them?"
"A pick-up duel…" mumbled Jaden as he and Laviss pilled all the fallen cards together "Hey!! Why didn't I think of that!!?" And no sooner did Jaden ran off
"JADEN!!" yelled Laviss as she saw him leave. She gently placed Chumley's cards down on the ground and ran after him
"Hey!! Wait!! WHERE ARE YOU OFF TO!!?" screamed Chumley from the branch
"THE OBELISK BLUE DORM!!" Jaden yelled back
"WHY YOU GOING THERE!!?"
"A PICK-UP DUEL!! WITH ZANE!!"
"THE ZANE!!" and after that Laviss heard a loud thump, but she didn't look back for Jaden and her were already far away.
In front of the Obelisk Blue Dorm…
"JADEN!!" yelled Laviss as the Slifer was thrown down to the ground at her feet by two male Obelisks.
"What's your problem!!" said Jaden to the two Obelisks
"I ain't got a problem. But you sure will if you don't beat it." threaten one of the Obelisks
"Yeah!! Zane wouldn't waste his time with you. You're still probably wet behind the ears from pre-duel school." said the other
"Am not!!" rebutted Jaden but soon water was thrown at him by the two Obelisks
"Now you are." said the second Obelisk as both of them walked away
"Jaden, are you alright?" asked Laviss as she helped him up
"Yeah I'm ok, but me and Zane are gonna duel." said Jaden as he got up
After the ordeal with the two Obelisks, Laviss and Jaden reunited with Chumley, who had a nasty bump on his head. Apparently he had gotten it when he let go of the branch and fell down once he heard Jaden was going to have a pick-up duel with Zane. During their walk Laviss was properly introduced to Chumley.
It was long before the three of them came to the Slifer Dorm. The building wasn't as grand as the Ra or Obelisk Dorms. It was two stories high with stairs on the left side. It was painted yellow with the roof being red. The doors were tan with another small room on the right end side; colored the same way like the dorm. Walking up the stairs, Laviss saw that the dorm was near the ocean.
'It's not much, but it has a beautiful view of the ocean.' thought Laviss as she followed the two Slifers.
"So what are you gonna do now?" Chumley asked Jaden
"Well I'll tell you one thing I'm not gonna do and that's give up. I'll get Zane to duel me one way or another." said Jaden as he opened the door to his and Chumley's room. He sighed as his brown eyes landed on a lump of blue sheets "Aw Sy, are you still in bed? Look, I know that you're down. But that's no excuse to act like a lazy slug. I mean even Chumley got up today."
"Yeah, lousy bladder." mumbled Chumley as he followed Jaden in
Walking in, Laviss gazed around to see their room. It was smaller than what she had thought. The room was a yellow-brownish color that contained a bunk-bed for three, with blue sheets and a ladder on the side. Next to the bunk-beds was a window with dark green curtains. Across the beds was a study table with a couple of books, a lamp, and a wooden chair. Near the door stood a mini kitchen with a sink and cabinets underneath it. Next to the mini kitchen was a small closet that was blocked off with a box.
As Jaden got near the beds, he removed the covers from the middle bunk. Only to find nothing there.
"Huh… where'd he go?" asked Jaden
"Look he left a note!" said Chumley as he hold a piece of paper near the study table
"What's it say?" asked Jaden as he and Laviss got near him
"Dear Jaden…" Chumley read off "I'm leaving Duel Academy. Don't try and stop me, it's for the best. I will only be holding you back if I stayed. Syrus."
"IDIOT!!" yelled Laviss as she banged her fists on the table. "WHAT'S HE THINKING!!!? I SPECIFICALLY TOLD HIM NOT TO DO SOMETHING STUPID LIKE THIS!!"
Jaden snatch the note away from Chumley and crumpled it up with his hands. "Sy's not going anywhere." said Jaden angrily
"Yeah, let's go stop him… after dinner." said Chumley
"NO! WE GO NOW!!" yelled Laviss
"But today's Grilled Cheese Day." whined the Slifer
"If we don't hurry it'd be Sy's last day!!" exclaimed Jaden as he grabbed Chumley by his sleeve and ran out the door with him and Laviss in suit.
The day was slowly become dark as two Slifers and a Ra ran around all over the island. Jaden, Laviss, and Chumley looked everywhere for Syrus, but so far they hadn't been able to find him.
"SYRUS!!" yelled Jaden and Laviss as they looked around the coast
"SY!! ITS GRILLED CHEESE DAY!!" screamed Chumley as he looked around a hill that was below Laviss and Jaden.
"WHERE ARE YOU SYRUS!!" screamed Jaden as he and Laviss run across a trail that led around the coast.
"SY!! DON'T YOU DARE THINK OF REALLY PULLING THIS STUNT OFF!!!" yelled Laviss, hoping that the short Slifer won't be afraid of her threat.
"WE MISS YOU SY!!" yelled Chumley as he followed Laviss and Jaden where they were "I'll miss dinner too… if we don't find him… before the kitchen… closes." he panted
"Chumley you're gonna miss a lot more than dinner if we don't find Sy." hissed Laviss as they went through a rocky trail, though nobody heard her.
Laviss then stopped running as she saw Jaden not moving. It was then that a weird noise came out of nowhere.
"So hungry… starting… to hear… voices." panted Chumley
"You aren't the only one." mumbled Laviss as she watched Jaden and to her amazement Winged Kuriboh. 'Winged Kuriboh!! Now I'm really loosing it!!'
"COME ON!!" yelled Jaden and ran off following Winged Kuriboh
"Aw!! First no grilled cheese and now I gotta run. Why me?" whined Chumley as he ran after Jaden and Laviss
Soon enough the three of them found Syrus near a rocky part of the coast. Near him was a raft, made out of logs
"SYRUS!!" yelled Laviss and Jaden as they both ran towards him and his makeshift raft.
The little Slifer quickly turned around as he heard his name. Seeing Jaden and Laviss made the blue haired boy move quickly. As the two duelists got closer to him, Syrus made no haste to jump onto his raft. But Jaden made a grand leap to Syrus' way and ended up breaking the raft; sending both of them into the water.
"Help me!! I can't swim!!" screamed Syrus as he held onto Jaden
"And you were about to rafted out into the ocean!! That makes sense!!" said Jaden as he and Syrus suddenly went under water.
Chumley soon joined Laviss near the edge of the rocky coast, but only to have him plunged in the water after the guys. The red head quickly freaked out as the three Slifers were now in the ocean. But she calmed down as she saw how deep the water was.
"Its… shallow." she said as she sweatdropped
No later did Jaden and Syrus came up to see the water was up to their knees. Up to the waist for Syrus.
"Why are you trying to stop me Jaden?" asked Syrus as he coughed "I stink… please… just let me go. They'll assign you a new tag partner. Then you'll have a much better shot at winning the match."
"Sy, that's your brother talking. Come on pal, you gotta believe in yourself." replied Jaden
"You gotta believe me, I'm a loss cause." said Sy gloomily
"He is right, you know." said a voice
Looking up, on a hill above all four of them, stood Zane and Alexis.
"Zane." said Syrus scared
"So that's the school's top duelist." whispered Jaden
Laviss gasped as she heard Jaden 'The school's TOP DUELIST!! WHAT!!?' she thought as Zane began to talk
"You dropping out." he said coldly
"Y-yeah… kind of." said Syrus timidly
"Well it's about time." said Zane as he closed his eyes
Whimpering, Syrus started moving behind him to where some of the fallen logs, from his raft, were.
Jaden clenched his fists as he saw Syrus wiping the tears falling from his grey eyes "He's wrong." he stated
"Sy-" but Laviss stopped herself as she saw Jaden get mad
"You're his big brother!! How can you say that!!?" Jaden yelled
"Because I know him." said Zane coolly
"Yeah I bet you think you know it all, but guess what you don't!! And I'm going to prove it right now! LET'S DUEL!!"
"No Jaden." pleaded Syrus
"Duel a Slifer?" said Zane as he thought about it "Sure, why not. After all, it's been a while since I went slumming."
"Then get your game on!" said Jaden as Zane accepted his challenge
'Oh boy, what's Jaden getting himself into.' Thought Laviss as she and the rest started leaving the ocean coast. 'If Zane's the top duelist in the school, I'm not so sure that Jaden can even win this one.'
Night had already settled in as Alexis, Laviss, Syrus, and Chumley stood by to see the match against Jaden and Zane. The place in question to have the duel was near the lighthouse, which gave them some light to see. The duel began with Jaden going first.
"Alright now we'll see what's going on with Sy and his bro. And find out how I rank up to the best." said a cheery Jaden "First off, I'm going to summon Elemental Hero Avian (1000) in attack mode. And I think I'll go ahead and throw down a face down, while I'm at it."
"That's all? Ok." said Zane as he drew his card "For my first move I summon Cyber Dragon (2100) in attack mode."
"WHAT!! How can you bring out a level 5 monster on your very first turn?" asked Jaden
"I can play my Cyber Dragon, because it is my first turn, Jaden. With no monster out, he requires no sacrifice." said Zane "And now I'll play Mystical Space Typhoon to destroy your face down card."
"Ugh, that was fast." said Jaden as his face down was destroyed
"Not as fast as your life points will go down. Cyber Dragon attack, strident blast!" said Zane as his dragon attacked Avian dropping Jaden's life points to 2900 "Next I activate the spell card Different Dimension Capsule. It allows me pick any card from my deck. Then I simply place it inside the capsule and in two turns I get to take it out and place it right into my hand."
"Man that's gotta be the best card out of your entire deck. I can't wait to see what's gonna come out of there." commented Jaden whilst the others sweatdropped at his naïve attitude
"It's your move Jaden." stated Zane
"Alright round 2" said Jaden as he drew "And first I'll rock Polymerization and next I'll roll out Elemental Heroes Sparkman and Clayman. And fuse them to create Elemental Hero Thunder Giant (2400). And since his special ability destroys monsters with less attack points than him, your Cyber Dragon gets vaporized." And just like he said Cyber Dragon was destroyed in a flash. "Looks like Thunder Giant just made the big man on campus get little bit smaller. And the best part is, because that blast was just Thunder Giant special ability I still get to use his regular attack. And seeing as you're now defenseless, I'm gonna use it directly on you!"
The Obelisk did nothing as the monster attacked him and made his life points go down to 1600 "You can at least kind of flinch." said Jaden as he still didn't do anything "Oh well, maybe this face down card will get you to later."
"Nice moves kid." complimented Zane as he drew a card "Of course with my field now empty again I can just throw out another Cyber Dragon. Or better yet two!! I play Monster Reborn and with just one monster in my graveyard. You can guess whose coming back. But neither will be here for long. I unite my dragons to create Cyber Twin Dragon (2800)!! Now my dragon can attack twice a round, which means double the trouble for your monster and your life points." explained Zane "Twin Dragon attack!!"
"Not so fast!! I got a trap card out." interrupted Jaden "A Hero Emerges, now normally you'd have to randomly pick one of the cards in my hand and if it was a monster I get to summon it. But since I only have one card in my hand. Let's just get right to it, shall we. Wroughtweiler (1200) in defense mode!!"
"You'll need it. Cyber Twin Dragon!! Double strident blast!!" screamed Zane as he destroyed both Thunder Giant and Wroughtweiler and hit Jaden's life points to 2500
"I'm glad you did that. 'Cus when Wroughtweiler is destroyed, his special ability activates. It brings one Elemental Hero and one Polymerization back from the graveyard and into my hand." said Jaden as he got his two cards "And just when you thought you'd stop worry about them, huh Zane."
"I don't worry" disputed Zane
'Jeez! Is this guy this serious? If he's like this all the time then what's the deal when he was around me? Or does he have a twin that no one knows.' thought Laviss as she sweatdropped
"Oh man, you're chill!! Not worrying, not even flinching!! You are good!" exclaimed Jaden
"You too, Jaden." complimented Zane
Jaden nodded at his response "Now where was I? Oh yeah! I was about to summon Elemental Hero Bubbleman (800) in attack mode. And since Bubbleman's the only monster out on my field I can use his special ability, drawing two more cards to my hand." said Jaden as he drew his cards "Alright Zane, I play Polymerization and fuse my Elemental Hero Bubbleman with Elemental Hero Clayman. Now Elemental Hero Mudballman (3000) rise in defense mode!! Now give me your best shot, Zane."
"My best shot? You got it." said Zane as he drew "It's been two turns since I first activated Different Dimension Capsule and now I can take the card I first put into it and add it to my hand. You played well, but not well enough."
"HEY!! Give me what ya got. I'm ready."
"I'm sure you are. A good duelist is ready for anything and that means not just knowing how to use all their cards, but knowing how to play them too. And you played your cards well, Jaden." said Zane as he gave a small glance at his younger brother
Syrus' eyes widen in realization at what his brother said.
'I hope now Sy understands what Zane's been trying to tell him.' thought Laviss as she turned back towards the duel
"First I'll activate my De-Fusion card, splitting my monster back into two separate Cyber Dragons. Next I'll activate the magic of Power Bond, with this spell card I'm allowed to summon a machine type fusion monster. And with another Cyber Dragon, in my hand as well, I can now fuse the three of them together to create… the Cyber End Dragon (4000)!!"
"Wow…" whispered Laviss as she stood in awed at the silver three headed dragon machine.
"Plus its attack points are double because of Power Bond's effect." said Zane as his Cyber End Dragon's attack points were raised to 8000! "And keep in mind, when Cyber End Dragon attacks the difference between his attack points and your monster's defense points are dealt to you as damage."
"Unless he has a card to stop this attack. All I can say is that Jaden's done for." said Laviss
"Not if Jaden can hang on before Power Bond's nasty side affect kicks in." added Chumley
"Chumley's right! At the end of the turn Power Bond is used, the player who activated the card takes damage equal to their attacking monster's original attack points." said Alexis
"Cyber End Dragon attack Mudballman, super strident blaze." said Zane as he destroyed Mudballman and all of Jaden's life points.
"JADEN!!" yelled Chumley as Jaden crestfallen his head
"I can't believe it. He… lost." said Alexis quietly
Laviss glanced at Alexis before she smiled "This is Jaden we're talking about. My bet is his focus is more on how fun this duel was than the fact that he lost."
"You sure?" asked Alexis hesitantly
"Take a look for yourself." said Laviss as Jaden raised his head towards Zane
"Thanks for a great duel Zane!" said Jaden as Zane nodded his head. The Obelisk took one last look at Syrus before he left.
"I guess you're right." said Alexis
"Told ya." said Laviss as Alexis left her for Zane
"Your brother's got mad skills." said Jaden as Laviss walked up to them with Chumley
"Well, at least I got the looks." boasted Syrus. Laviss smiled at Sy's counter but that was shortly interrupted by a loud grumbling noise coming from Chumley's stomach.
"I guess that our cue to go back." said Laviss as she started to walk back to the Dorms
"Right, come on." said Jaden as they all walked back to their dorms.
