Chapter 7: Confessions

Burstinatrix woke up due to Jaden's snoring. It was Saturday morning and there was a special tournament that all the students heard about the day before. Syrus woke up a few minutes later as Burstinatrix was finishing getting dressed.

"Morning," Burstinatrix said to Syrus.

"Morning, Rebecca," Syrus responded with a yawn.

"I am going to go to the tournament, are you?"

"Yes I will, but I think I will lose my first match,"

Burstinatrix sighed and woke Jaden and Avian up.

"You guys going to sleep or what?" she barked.

Avian and Jaden were still tired and yawning until Burstinatrix reminded them of the tournament. The four walked out of the dorm and bumped into Hero Kid and Bubbleman who were trying to pry Ojama Black off of Chazz.

"Good for nothing freak," Chazz said.

Bubbleman yanked as hard as he could and landed on his back holding the Ojama with Hero Kid beside him.

"Thanks," Chazz said coldly before he walked off.

"What was his problem?" Avian asked.

"Beats me," Ojama Black said.

"We better go now." Burstinatrix said.

Everyone nodded and walked off while bumping into Alexis, Bastion, and Zane.

"So, this tournament is also allowed for the faculty as well as students?" Sparkman asked Chancellor Shepherd.

"Yes, that is correct," Shepherd said.

"Okay, when do we begin?"

"I believe in about an hour and a half, Ohms."

Sparkman nodded and left.

"So, I believe you want to have a warm-up duel?" Burstinatrix asked Jaden.

"You bet, because I will not pass one down." Jaden replied.

"Let's make it interesting I declare it to be a four on four tag team duel," Bubbleman exclaimed. "And for every 1000 life points we loose, we must remove one piece of cloth-"Bubbleman was then pummeled into the ground by Alexis, Burstinatrix and Avian.

"Pervert," Alexis said. Burstinatrix nodded in agreement.

Both Syrus and Chazz were blushing at the thought of Bubbleman's comment.

"WAKE UP!" Burstinatrix yelled as she yanked on both of their ears.

"I like the eight way duel we are going to have," Jaden said, oblivious to what just happened.

"It will be very interesting indeed," Bastion admitted.

"Very well, it's going to be Rebecca, Sean, Vince, and Me versus Jaden, Chazz, Alexis, and Zane. Bastion and Syrus are the referees." Avian stated as everyone else nodded.

"This tag duel has shared field, monsters, and face down spell and trap cards. There can be 2 Field spells in play at the same time as well, and teammates can use each other's spell and trap cards that are on the field already, and we have 8000 LP per team." Burstinatrix stated.

"This is really going to be different from the tag duel Jaden and Syrus did." Bastion said. Alexis nodded in acknowledgment. "Ready?" Burstinatrix asked.

"Ready," everyone said.

Syrus was in fear that he would mess up and ruin everything. Bubbleman saw Syrus's uneasy look and said to him, "Don't worry my friend," Syrus nodded slightly and then took a deep breath. "Begin!" he shouted.

"I will begin by summoning Cyber Kirin in defense." Zane said as his monster appeared. "Your move, Gale,"

"Fine, I will now summon Luster Dragon in attack mode and place three cards face down, and Jaden, you're up." Avian said.

"All right, I summon Elemental Hero Wildheart in defense and end by throwing down three face downs." Jaden announced.

"My turn," Hero Kid said. "I summon Gigobyte in defense and place a face down card for later. Next!"

"I summon Giant Rat in defense, and that's it." Chazz said.

"I summon Hydrogeddon in attack and place down a face down and end turn." Bubbleman stated.

"Cyber Gymnast in defense and I will end turn." Alexis said.

"Blindly Loyal Goblin in attack mode and play the field spell card, Sogen!" Burstinatrix announced. "That is all."

"Now I shall summon Proto-Cyber Dragon and attack Gigobyte with it." Zane stated.

"Activate Dark Mirror force!" Hero Kid said revealing the trap card. The attack was reflected and destroyed Giant Rat, Cyber Kirin, and Cyber Gymnast.

"Why did he survive, my trap is like normal Mirror Force but destroys Defense monsters instead!" Hero Kid complained pointing to Jaden's monster.

"Idiot, Wildheart is immune to trap effects!" Chazz said.

"Oh," Hero Kid said understanding what happened.

"I end turn." Zane said.

"Now, I place a face down and my Luster Dragon will attack Proto-Cyber with Sapphire Flame!" Avian said.

The machine was destroyed and Cyber Kirin vanished.

"I activate my Kirin's effect!" Zane said. "My life points are safe when Cyber Kirin is offered as a tribute."

"Damn it," Avian said, "I end turn."

"I throw down one more face down and end turn," Jaden said

"I will summon a monster in defense and place two cards face down, and end turn." Hero Kid said.

"I summon Armed Dragon LV 3 in attack and play 'Level Up!' this spell allows me to summon my LV 5 one by sacrificing my LV 3." Chazz said. (I did the "'" thing so you know that the "!" was part of the name) "Now I use its effect to destroy the Hydrogeddon. And I will attack Luster Dragon now!"

"Negate Attack!" Avian said.

The attack stopped.

"I end turn." Chazz said.

"Nice try boss," Ojama Black said to Chazz.

"Shut up," Chazz responded.

"Now, I activate my spell card Pot of Greed." Bubbleman said, "And I summon T.A.D.P.O.L.E. in defense and activate all my five spells in my hand and my face down. First of all, my three Meteor of Destruction cards, and now it's my two Ookazi!"

LP: 8000/3400

"That's all." Bubbleman said.

"I summon Etoile Cyber in defense and end turn." Alexis said.

"I sacrifice my goblin and summon my Firestorm Monarch, Thestalos!" Burstinatrix said.

"I select that card in the far right in Zane's hand."

The Cyber Dragon Burstinatrix chose appeared on the field but was burned into ashes.

"Now, that is a five star monster so you loose 100 life points per level star it has." Burstinatrix said.

"Thestalos, attack Proto-Cyber Dragon with Firestorm Maelstrom!"

A Firestorm appeared and destroyed the prototype machine.

"I end turn."

LP: 8000/3400

"I will summon a Cyber Dragon from my hand. And normal summon another Proto-Cyber Dragon and play Monster Reborn to revive my other Proto-Cyber Dragon." Zane stated. "Now, I activate Polymerization to fuse them together to form Cyber End Dragon!"

Zane's strongest machine appeared and roared. "Now, attack Thestalos!"

The monster roared and prepared to strike.

"I activate Vince's face down, Gravity Bind!" Burstinatrix shouted.

A barrier appeared and the monsters level four and higher crashed into the ground kneeling or struggling to stay up. Gigobyte and T.A.D.P.O.L.E. just looked at their comrades and foes in confusion.

"I end turn then." Zane said.

"I shall summon my Elemental Hero Avian in attack and equip him with my Lightning Blade Spell card!" Avian shouted as he summoned the true form of himself.

"Now, Avian attack Wildheart with Thunderstorm Slash!"

The Avian monster slashed Wildheart and destroyed him.

"That is all." Avian said.

"I play Graceful Charity and Discard Avian and a Fusion Sage, but I summon my Avian by O-Oversoul!" Jaden yelled. Avian appeared. "I now use Polymerization to fuse him with Burstinatrix and summon the Elemental Hero Flame Wingman!" Flame Wingman appeared and the Dragon head roared. "Now, I activate R- Righteous Justice and Skyscraper." The gravity Bind vanished, "Now, Flame Wingman, attack Thestalos with Skydive Scorcher."

The E-Hero destroyed Thestalos after a brief and flaming fight which Thestalos was pushing Flame Wingman with all his strength.

LP: 4900/3400

"I end turn." Jaden announced.

"I use Monster Reborn on Elemental Hero Burstinatrix from Jaden's graveyard!" Hero Kid said as the Burstinatrix monster appeared. "Now, I flip summon Bubonic Vermin and summon one more in face down defense, and I sacrifice my face up Vermin for Granmarg the Earth Monarch! Now, Granmarg, destroy Jaden's face down card!"

Granmarg smashed the face down Mirror Force. "Now attack Flame Wingman with Crater Smash!" Hero Kid ordered as the Monarch struck Flame Wingman with one of his massive fists.

LP: 4900/3100

"I end turn!"

"I summon Ojama Black in Defense and discard my Ojama Yellow for my Dragon's effect, destroying that pathetic pollywog." Chazz said. "Now, attack the Gigobyte!"

Gigobyte was destroyed instantly by a single stomp.

"Now, my dragon will become LV 7 now, since I am ending my turn."

The Dragon grew and roared.

"I will play Change of Heart on Armed Dragon, and tribute it for Mobius the Frost Monarch and attack Jaden directly with him!" Bubbleman said." I now summon two Wicked Tokens for my Statue of the Wicked trap cards I destroyed with Mobius's effect, and I end turn."

LP: 4900/700

"I will summon Blade Skater in Defense and end turn." Alexis said.

"I play the trap card, Reckless Greed from Sean's part of the field. And I sacrifice a Wicked Token for Zaborg the Thunder Monarch and I play Monster Reborn on Thestalos!" Zaborg and Thestalos appeared and Zaborg held his hand out and destroyed Cyber End Dragon with a thunderbolt which came from the hand.

"Zaborg's effect is that when he is tribute summoned, he can destroy a monster of my choice, and the target was the Cyber End Dragon!" Burstinatrix said. "Now, I attack with Zaborg who'll destroy the remainder of the life points when he finishes Etoile Cyber and with Thestalos, he attacks Blade Skater!" Alexis's monsters were both destroyed. "I end turn."

"I summon Cyber Dragon in defense and end turn." Zane said.

"I attack with Avian and end turn." Avian said.

"I summon Elemental Hero Bubbleman in defense and throw down a face down." Jaden said.

"Bubonic Vermin show yourself, and summon the third one in face down defense with your effect. And Granmarg, squish that Bubblehead to a puddle of suds with Crater Smash!" Hero Kid said as Granmarg punched his fists together before pummeling The Bubbleman monster into a pulp.

"I play Hero Signal!" Jaden said revealing the face down, a search light appeared with the E-Hero symbol on it and Clayman appeared in defense. "I end turn," Hero Kid said.

"I play Ojama Green in defense and end turn." Chazz said.

"I play Shield Crush and destroy Clayman!" Bubbleman said, "and now, Mobius, attack the Ojama Green with Artic Hurricane!"

Ojama Green turned into an ice sculpture and then cracked into pieces.

"That is all," Bubbleman said.

"I end turn after summoning Cyber Tutu in defense," Alexis said.

"Now, Zaborg, Strike the Ojama with Voltic Charge, and Thestalos, Attack the Cyber Tutu with Firestorm Maelstrom!" Burstinatrix said. "And that is all."

"Hey, Alexis," Burstinatrix said,

"Yes, what is it?" Alexis responded.

"Wanna make a wager?"

"What?"

"Winner goes out with Jaden," Burstinatrix said blushing slightly.

"WHAT!" Alexis and Chazz said in unison,

"I mean on a date," Burstinatrix stated.

Alexis blushed deeply at the thought that she would go on a date.

"Fine," Alexis murmured.

"What is going on?" Jaden asked Alexis, oblivious to what was just said.

"Forget it," Alexis said. "Let's resume,"

"I have a wager to propose as well," Bubbleman said.

"If my team wins, I get to go out with Alexis,"

Bubbleman was slapped HARD across the cheek and flew a few feet. When he got up, his cheek had a throbbing mark shaped like Alexis's hand.

"No way," Alexis said harshly.

"Better than taken a bath with me," Bubbleman said but got another slap.

"Anyway, let's continue," Burstinatrix said shaking her hand that had a little sting due to the slap.

"I end turn," Zane said as he drew his card.

"I will finish this duel with Avian attacking Jaden directly!"

LP: 4900/0

"That's game, guys," Bastion said.

"Agreed," Syrus said.

"Hey Jaden, want to be somewhere a little more quiet?" Burstinatrix asked Jaden in a semi-seductive tone. Alexis growled and glared at Burstinatrix.

"It's okay," Avian said to Alexis, "want to talk?"

Alexis nodded slightly and followed Avian.

Jaden was dragged away by a blushing Burstinatrix.

" HELP ME SY!" Jaden pleaded.

Bubbleman and Hero Kid both laughed at Jaden.

"Idiots," Chazz said to Bubbleman and Hero Kid Before he was chased off by Ojama Black.

The remaining people said good bye for the moment and went to their house heads.

"So, you okay?" Avian asked Alexis in a caring tone.

"No…" Alexis said sniffling a little.

"What is wrong?" Avian asked Alexis

"Rebecca,"

"What about her Alexis?"

"She is with Jaden now,"

"What?"

"Rebecca is with Jaden on a date with him, DAMN IT!" Alexis said before she broke down crying.

"shhh, it's okay, Alexis, it's okay." Necroshade said from a shadow.

Avian leaped in surprise, as Necroshade appeared.

"I will take over," Necroshade said.

"Okay," Avian said as he walked away.

" I heard why your upset, but don't worry, Bur- Rebecca only plays around, I think." Necroshade said to Alexis.

"But, she is going to far," Alexis sniffled, still crying.

"shhh, it's alright. Just cry, let it all out," Necroshade said to Alexis.

Why is he being so caring and gentle to me? Alexis thought to herself as she wrapped her arms around Necroshade's neck and buried her face in his shoulder, muffling her sobs.

I never knew that a shady character like Ryo can be like this, I wish Jaden wasn't so dense, damn it! I want a person who is caring and gentle around girls. I have been thinking of only Ryo and Jaden lately, god, what am I going to do , who do I love?

Necroshade stroked Alexis's hair a bit, eyes closed. "You finished?" Necroshade asked Alexis about an half hour later, "I think so Ryo."Alexis responded.

"Good," Necroshade said brushing some hair from Alexis's face.

" I better get going," he said getting up.

"Wait, Ryo, I have something to tell you…" Alexis said to Necroshade,

"Can it wait?" Necroshade asked.

"No, it can't."

"What is it then?"

"I want to say that I-I-I l-like you more than a friend," Alexis stuttered, blushing deeply.

Necroshade blushed as well. "Really?" he asked. Alexis nodded slightly. Necroshade glanced around to see if this was a prank, but when he didn't see anything suspicious, he hugged Alexis. "I like you a lot as well," Necroshade said softly. Alexis's heart skipped a beat and she looked at Necroshade in the eyes before she kissed him on the lips deeply.

I am a fan of the Jaden/Alexis relationship, and hey, best way to show that is through some jealousy. I want suggestions for bf/gf relationships, any forms of Bubbleman humor, and any suggestions for the plot. Domo!
