Yu-gi-oh GX not mine

Chapter 7

All round the island Nils could be seen running. He wasn't getting his daily exercise, he was looking for his first opponent. The very girl he fought in the entrance exam, Alexis Rhodes.

He slowed to a stop to catch his breath. Nils had lost track of how long he had been running but it was long enough to drench him in sweat. 'Who's bright idea was it to make the school uniforms jackets? And in the summer!' Nils decided to take a break and take a seat at a nearby bench

The bench was in the shade of a very large tree making the break much more enjoyable for Nils. He watched several duels go on as he rested. One duel consisted of two Ra students having a pretty intense fight.

"Spell Canceller, destroy his facedown monster!" One called out. A robotic brain creature shot a ray beam from its eye at a facedown card on the field. The card revealed itself to be a Man-Eater Bug. The bug immediately attached itself to Spell Canceller and destroyed it.

"No! He's one of my best cards!" The student who called the attack was clearly distressed.

The other student drew a card confidently and shouted, "Now with your Spell Canceller gone, I can play this, Premature Burial!!" The student's lifepoint counter went down by 800 points and all the sudden a massive metal beetle appeared on the field.

"Behold, I resurrect my Metal Armored Bug (2800/1400)!!" The huge bug let out a triumphant roar before being called to attack the helpless prey.

The first Ra student let out a scream as his lifepoints dropped to zero. Nils smirked as the student recovered his cards.

'That kid had a Spell Reproduction, two spell cards in his hand and a Nobleman of Crossout in his graveyard. He had this duel won. Why is he in Ra and I'm in Slifer?'

Nils then noticed laughing coming from a nearby duel. He turned his head to the left and saw a first year Slifer, whom he recognized from the boat, dueling an Obelisk that had to be at least a second year. He was a big strong guy with blue hair and glasses.

"You're pathetic kid. That's why you're a Slifer!" The Obelisk continued to shout insults at the young man until the Slifer was on the verge of crying. "Please stop making fun of me! It's just game!" The Obelisk was about to mock the little guy's words until Nils stepped in front of him.

"Hey loser, do you mind? I'm in a duel right now!" Nils didn't say a thing; he only activated his duel disk. "Oh, I get it. You want to duel me! Move aside I'll finish this little geek first!" The young Slifer stood behind Nils not knowing what was going on.

"Mister, what are you doing?" The Slifer asked. Nils turned toward the kid and gave him a wink. He then turned back to the Obelisk and started to run his mouth…

"WHY THE HECK ARE YOU PICKING ON SOMEONE LIKE HIM?!?!" Both the duelists were taken off guard by Nils' outburst. "You're an upper classmen in Obelisk who's picking on a freshman Slifer! Do you think that's cool?"

The Obelisk stopped to think on the subject, after a few moments he looked straight into Nils' eyes and said… "Uh, yeah!" Nils pushed the Obelisk back and shouted at him, "Why don't you pick on a real duelist you limp noodle!"

The Obelisk was fuming! "Tell you what, I'm going to own you one two three!!" He looked down at the Slifer who was silently applauding Nils. "You lucked out loser!" The Obelisk turned his attention back to Nils and reshuffled his cards. "Lets duel chump! This will be an official tournament duel!" Nils nodded and backed a few paces.

Nils shouted, "Lets duel!!" And picked up his cards. After scanning them he nodded at the Obelisk and said, "Why don't you start tough guy!" "Gladly!" The Obelisk barked back.

As the duel unfolded many spectators gathered around the young Slifer who was dueling earlier to watch. Many things were said about Nils' heroism, kindness and even being a badass as well as an idiot.

The Obelisk picked up his drawn card and shouted, "I'm going to summon my Vorse Raider!!" The beast-warrior appeared on the field wielding a mighty pike. The monster growled angrily at Nils. (1900/1200) "Go ahead and try to take this thing down! Your move."

Nils confidently drew a card from his deck. He placed it onto his disk and said, "I activate Grave Arm! This instantly kills a monster on the field! Bye, bye Vorse Raider!" A giant menacing arm appeared and dragged Vorse Raider into a dark abyss.

Nils then slid another card into his disk. He coolly said, "I now play Question #2!" A strange looking man with a jester uniform appeared with six cards in his hand. "Here's how this card works," Nils explained. "I reveal to you all the contents of my fusion deck to you.

The Obelisk studied the six cards from Nils' fusion deck before they were shuffled. Nils put all but one card away into his pocket. "Now you try to guess the card I picked. Guess right and it's removed from the game and I lose lifepoints equal to its attack. Guess wrong I special summon it. Good luck!"

The Obelisk contemplated it for about a minute before calling a name. "I choose Tri-Headed Cyber Tortoise!" Nils smiled. "Doesn't matter to me," Nils said. "I was going to get it anyway.

The might machine tortoise then was removed from play.

The Obelisk scratched his head and asked, "What do you mean? How are you going to get it now that it's removed from play."

Nils snapped his fingers. "Glad you asked!" He slid another card into his duel disk and said, "I play Dimension Fusion!" A huge portal appeared on the field. From it emerged the Cyber Tortoise that was recently removed.

Nils-2000

Obelisk-4000

Nils called out, "At the cost of 2000 points I can special summon as many removed from play monsters as I'm able! (0000/4000)" The monster then began to glow.

The Obelisk watched the massive monster with fear in his eyes. "What's it doing?" Nils smiled and said, "His special ability is activating. I swap its attack and defense until the end of the turn.

All the spectators watched in aw as Nils now had a monster with 4000 attack points. Nils raised his fist and yelled, "Alright Tri-Headed, attack his lifepoints directly!!"

The monster shot out a powerful yellow beam at the Obelisk student, bringing the point count to zero.

Nils-2000

Obelisk-0

The Obelisk fell on his back and walked away with a scowl.

Many of the watching students began to cheer Nils. Slifers, Ras and even some Obelisk girls all rushed over to Nils to congratulate him. Nils appreciated all the friendly gestures and comments he got. After the crowd died down it was only him, the young Slifer and two Obelisk Blue girls.

The two girls introduced themselves as Mindy and Jasmine. "Oh you were so great!" Shouted Mindy. "Not just great you were so kind!" Jasmine added. Nils was about ready to real in the fish but the young Slifer tapped his shoulder.

"Excuse me mister Nils," the Slifer spoke to Nils. Nils looked at the young man giving him a hurry up look. The Slifer cut to the chase. "I pretended to be an innocent victim so you could save me. Now where's that twenty you said you'd give me?"

Mindy and Jasmine overheard the words and have Nils a disgusted look. "Why would you do that? Scamming to meet girls!" They shouted. The two girls each slapped Nils and stormed off.

Nils shrunk to his knees and began to beg. "Come on! Don't believe this little twerp! It wasn't a scam it's just… he bought me a soda and I owed him money! Yeah that's it!" The two girls were already walking away.

Nils leaned his head down and reached into his pocket. He pulled a twenty-dollar bill from it and handed it to the kid. The Slifer happily pocketed the money and walked away. "Just holler next time you need me!"

Nils sat alone for a few moments until someone slapped the back of his head. Nils rubbed the back of his hand and looked up. Sure enough it was Chazz, the guy he dueled along side the night before.

"What are you doing freshy slacker?" Nils jumped to his feet and smiled. "Nothing Chazzster! I was just relaxing in the shade after a hard fought duel!"

Chazz shook his head. "Don't play dumb. I saw you. You used that little kid to setup a hero routine to get some girls. I've done some pretty low things in my life but what you did… that's pretty low."

Nils crossed his arms. He looked up toward the sky and said, "What can I say? I met that kid on the boat and I made a deal." Chazz shook his head and began to walk off. Nils ran up to the departed duelist to stop him.

"Hey! Have you seen that Alexis girl anywhere?" Chazz blushed at the sound of that name.

"Alexis?! Why do you want to find her? Is it because you want to declare your love for her like I do!?!?" Nils cocked his eyebrows. "Umm no," he mumbled. "I have a score to settle with her! I want to duel her!"

Chazz dwelled on the words for a few minutes and burst into laughter. "HAHA! You don't stand a chance against Alexis! She's one of the top duelists in the school! What makes you think you could beat her?"

Nils smirked before replying. "Well…" he started. Chazz was eager to hear what Nils wanted to say. Nils started to speak up. "I tied with her at my entrance exam! And I have a score to settle!"

Chazz found this interesting. This noob from out of nowhere was able to tie with one of Duel Academy's top pupils. Maybe Nils wasn't so bad after all. Sure he was a lowlife perv but he could duel. Chazz agreed to help Nils find Alexis. "Follow me…"

30 minutes later…

Chazz and Nils were back at the Slifer Dorms. Inside they found Jaden, Syrus, Hassleberry, Alexis, Mindy and Jasmine lounging around.

Nils looked around.

"Say," he started. "Why are all of you in here? There's a tournament going on out there." All the students except Mindy and Jasmine looked happily at Nils. Jaden spoke up, "We're taking a break. We've been dueling hard out there." Mindy added in, "Why are you here? Shouldn't you be out being a sleaze?" "Yeah!" Jasmine added in.

Nils stepped back with an innocent poker face. He sighed but before he could respond Alexis spoke up.

"I know what you want!" Everyone in the room but Chazz and Nils eyed Alexis curiously. Alexis smiled and picked up her duel disk. "You want a rematch don't you!" Everyone was somewhat shocked to here this. Mindy and Jasmine jumped in front of Alexis.

Jasmine snatched Alexis' duel disk from her. "Alexis you don't want to duel this sleaze. Why don't you let me duel him and take him out of this tournament!?" Alexis pondered the situation.

Mindy jumped into the situation. "I want to help put this guy in his place too!" She turned toward the stunned Nils. "Why don't you duel me and Jasmine in a handicap match? If you win we'll forgive you for what you did earlier and let you duel Alexis!"

Everyone in the room looked excited for this turn of events. Especially Jaden… "Sweet! I've never seen Nils duel before! This is going to be SO cool!"

Mindy and Jasmine looked toward Alexis for approval. Alexis thought about it for a bit and finally gave her answer. "Sounds like the girls have a bone to pick with you new guy. I'm all for it!"

Nils looked around the room wondering what to do. Chazz crossed his arms and frowned. "Listen Nils, you may be good but a handicap is nothing to take lightly." Jasmine then added, "We'll never forgive you unless you accept."

Chazz then added back in. "I wouldn't do it Nils. Even if they are girls." Nils grabbed his deck and inserted it into his duel disk. "I ACCEPT!" Nils shouted.

All these students stepped outside the dorm ready to watch the duel. Nils stoop facing his two opponents ready to start.

All three competitors drew their first hands…

"Lets duel!!"

All right another chapter down. Nils is set to face his toughest challenge yet. He fights for redemption, respect and to prove to everyone he's a great duelist. Will he succeed? Read and Review to find out!
