Chapter 7: New Faces: Sega, Rakaia & Luna Enters!
The cafeteria doors swung open with such force as three figures walked in. Two of the figures seemed to be at each other's faces; the third figure was trying to hold one of the two arguing back. "I ALREADY TOLD YOU, YOU IDIOT. I CAN AND WILL BEAT YOU IN A DUEL!" A loud feminine Hispanic voice accented bellowed. Jaden saw Isabella immediately stand up from her chair; her eyes glowed with recognition as her eyes landed on the bellowing figures. She smiled.
"YOU CAN BEAT ME? JUST BECAUSE YOU'RE A PRO, DOESN'T MEAN THAT YOU'RE GOOD!" A masculine voice bellowed back. The gang was curious to why Isabella was suddenly smiling, so they followed her gaze Isabella and gasped at the three people in the cafeteria. One of the figures they saw was wearing a brown sleeveless leather jacket, with a black shirt underneath it and faded blue jeans. On her feet was a pair of black timberland boots. She wore a black cowboy hat on her head. She had a pair of black leather finger-less gloves that went up to the elbows; on her right arm was a duel disk with black trim on it. Her skin color matched Alexis' but had a slight tan-look to it. Her light brown hair was pulled up into a curly braided ponytail. Her bangs covered her brows, and covered at the end of her light brown eyes. Isabella seemed to have recognized her immediately.
"You can't just quit a duel like that, KID, especially with a duel against a PRO?" She shouted. "If you hadn't quit, I would have creamed you with my signature monster, but no. Someone had to help his girlfriend!"
Isabella looked at Jaden briefly; Jaden smiled knowing exactly who was the person yelling out loud. Isabella sighed. "That's Sega for ya, huh Jaden."
Jaden smiled. "She hasn't changed a bit."
"She's/He's not my girlfriend/boyfriend!" The two figures said simultaneously. The male figure appeared to be Jaden's age. He wore a plain red T-shirt underneath a blue jean jacket that matched his jeans. On his feet were red and white shoes. Around his neck is a silver Dragon necklace. On his right arm was an Academy issued Duel Disk and he had his deck holster clipped onto the back of his jeans. He also had on his black fingerless dueling gloves. He had light brown spiky hair that covered his ears and matching colored eyes.
"Come on Sega! Let's have a rematch!" The boy shouted as he was held back by the other girl. Sega smirked.
The accused 'girlfriend' was also around Jaden's age. She was wearing a white tank top shirt underneath a black sleeveless vest with a pair of black shorts with ribbons, one tied on each leg. She also wears the same type of boots as Alexis but in black. On her right arm was the Academy issued Duel Disk and her deck holster is located clipped on the side of her shorts. She was also wearing her black leather dueling gloves. A ruby gem heart shape necklace that was around her neck at all times shined brightly. Her almost black hair stopped at her mid-waist and her shining bright brown eyes were lovely.
"Chill you two!" The girl urged. "Take it easy. People are watching us."
"Let them watch! I don't give a damn!" The boy yelled. He pointed to Sega, who glared at him hatefully. "You had the duel won? I had the perfect combo to defeat your deck!"
"And you could have used it if you didn't leave the Duel Field to tend to your girlfriend! I had the perfect counter to whatever you had!" Sega cried back.
"For the last time, SHE'S MY BEST FRIEND!" Both duelists were at each other's faces, heat radiated between the two of them. The gang looked at the two with confusion held in their eyes. Isabella chuckled as she made her way to the duo. Jaden shook his head, smiling. Jesse and Alexis looked at him.
"Jay! That girl with the cowboy hat," Jesse whispered. "She's the one I saw onboard the ship! The one I told y'all about, the one I could remember her face but not her name." Jaden's brown eyes sparkled with amusement. Alexis motioned on.
"You're right, Jesse. She seems so familiar. Does Isabella know her Jay?" Alexis looked him as he nodded.
Chazz started to jump up and down from his seat excitedly. Hassleberry looked at him like if he was crazy. "Sam Hill, Chazz. What are you so excited about?"
"OH MY GOD! That's Sega Rivera! A former Pro and one part of a U.S. Tag-Team Champion team!" Chazz squealed. Everyone was astounded by both the statement and Chazz's squealing. "I thought she retired after she won her title at 15."
"She retired young?" Syrus questioned Chazz and glancing at the former Pro Duelist.
Jaden smirked. "It's not Sega's fault that she retired early after one title shot."
The gang looked at him. Chazz glared at him. "Don't tell me Slacker, you know her too?" Chazz stated.
Jaden nodded his head. "Yeah of course, she was partners with Isabella when they took the Title about three years ago." He stood up from his seat with the rest of the gang. "C'mon, let me introduce you guys to Sega, Isabella's Tag-Team Partner and best friend since they were little." Jaden and the gang walked away from the table and approached Isabella who smiled at them as they moved closer and stood behind Isabella.
The two bickering duelists still haven't averted their attention away from each other. Isabella cast a look to the struggling girl who looked at her. 'Hold him,' She mouthed as she paced behind an unwary Sega and proceeded to get her attention. She circled one of her arms around Sega's neck and placed her in a headlock.
"Hey! What the hell?" Sega yelled and struggled restlessly as Isabella endured to keep her strength, noticing that her friend was getting pissed very passing second. Then Sega smirked despite being placed in a headlock and Isabella tightened her hold. As quick as lightning, Sega tangled her left leg around Isabella's right and arched her back. She was trying to flip Belle over. Everyone including the boy and the girl was enthralled by what's going on. Finally, Sega was free of Isabella's grasp and flip her over, HARD. Luckily for Isabella, she landed on her feet; her back a few centimeters away from the cold, hard ground; her hands still clasp to Sega's upper arms. She grinned at Sega's bewilder expression.
"Hey Sega," she panted. Sega removed her hand from Isabella's chest as she stood up. "Long time no see."
"…Belle…" Sega breathed as she took everything in. Isabella flashed a smile. Sega broke into a smile as she rushed to hug her friend. They both laughed as the high-fived each other. "What are you doing here Belle? I thought you were doing a tournament!" Sega exclaimed.
For some reason, Jaden felt something go amiss. 'Like if these two knew they were going to see each other here; and that I was going to get involved.' Jaden thought but he brushed it off.
"I'm here 'cause our favorite little man wanted me to come here!" Isabella replied with excitement.
"Who's that?" Sega inquired. Jaden looked at her in shock with a hand held close to his heart.
"That hurts Sega," Jaden exaggerated, acting as if he was hurt by her words. "I'm crushed that you don't know who your favorite little man is."
Sega looked at him baffled and then she smiled as realization set in. "JADEN!" She screamed as she lunged towards Jaden with such force the both of them fell to the ground, laughing. Sega ruffled his hair vigorously. "Damn Jay. I haven't seen you in four years and look how handsome you've grown." Sega got off of him and offered her hand. Jaden smiled and graciously took it and helped himself up. "You also have gotten quite taller." She gestured her hand to the height he was four years ago.
Jaden laughed and pulled her into another hug. "It's good to see you too Sega." She tilted his head, making his right cheek face her and planted her lips on it. Jaden smiled but it soon faded when he heard some muttering coming from his friends.
"Um Jay, you are going to introduce us right?" Jaden looked at Alexis nervously. Her slightly red face held a slight pout. Her brows furrowed as she gazed at him. Sega eyed the situation. She stepped back and faced the group.
"Sorry! Where are my manners? I'm Sega Rivera, former Pro Duelist, one time Tag-Team Champ and a part-time owner to the Family's ranch back in the U.S." She gestured for the two duelists behind Isabella to come forward. "These guys here are transfer students from U.S. East Side Duel Academy. This is Luna Tenshi." Sega presented the girl first.
Luna bowed respectfully. "It's very nice to meet you all. What a wonderful school you guys have." The gang greeted Luna.
Sega continued as she grabbed hold of the boy's head and pushed down him forcefully, making him bow. He mumbled some mean words at Sega but Sega kept pushing his head further and further down. Everyone sweatdropped. "And…this kid here…is Rakaia Meiyo," she strained before finally letting go of his head. Rakaia glared at her hatefully. She returned the glare just as hatefully. "These two will be students here at Duel Academy." Sega focused her attention to the gang until her eyes spotted a familiar pair of eyes. She gasped and smiled. "Jesse? Jesse Andersen!"
Jesse smiled at her and waved a hand. He walked to her and offered his hand. "Y'all never told me y'all name when we were onboard the ship."
Sega shook his hand. "Sorry. I was in a hurry. I had to find these two before we got off the ship," she said.
"Is that a blush I see creeping onto your face, Sega?" Rakaia smirked only to be side-tripped by Sega and fell onto the ground. "Hey!" Sega glanced down at him and smirked as he got back to his feet.
Jaden smiled at the two before clapping his hands to get everyone's attention. "Rakaia, Luna, welcome to Duel Academy! I'm Jaden Yuki! Nice to meet ya!"
"And I'm Alexis Rhodes. This is my brother, Atticus." Alexis greeted them. Atticus waved at them. "And these are my two best friends, Mindy and Jasmine." Mindy and Jasmine waved flirtatiously at Rakaia, making Luna glare at them briefly.
"I'm Jesse Andersen." Jesse shook both their hands.
"I'm Syrus Truesdale." Syrus spoke.
"The name's Hassleberry. Nice to meet ya!"
"Bastion Misawa of RA Yellow."
"Blair Flannigan at your service."
"Chazz Princeton AKA THE NUMBER ONE duelist in the Academy." Rakaia laughed. Chazz glared at him. "What's your problem, kid?" Rakaia stopped laughing.
"You can't be the number one duelist 'cause I'm going to be the NUMBER ONE DUELIST in this Academy just like I was back at home!" Rakaia said proudly.
"Wanna put your cards where your mouth is, you little twerp?" Chazz threatened as he got into Rakaia's face.
"You want to duel me! You're on!" Rakaia smirked as the two glared at each other.
"Whoa Rakaia!" Luna whispered as she tried to pull Rakaia away from Chazz. "It's our first day in this Academy and you're already getting into trouble." She mumbled under her breath.
"Let me go, Luna. I can take him. Give me two minutes to wipe the floor with his life points!"
"It's not my life points you'll be wiping. It's yours!" Chazz and Rakaia stared each other down. Isabella and Sega watched the two boys with amusement. They looked at each other and shook their heads.
"Ok you two. Knock it off!" Isabella shouted to both of them. The two boys turned their attention to the Champion Duelist and her partner. "You guys want to duel each other? Fine." She marched to a table and climbed on top of it. She whistled loudly to get everyone's attention. Once everyone in the cafeteria had eyes on her, she began to speak. "As Chancellor Sheppard's guest, I announce that on Friday, as the opening Duel for the school year, Chazz Princeton will duel against Rakaia Meiyo of the U.S. East Side Duel Academy. Tag-Team Champions Sega Rivera and I will be honored if all of you can join us." The cafeteria filled with loud cheers as Isabella climbed down the steps and made her way back to Chazz and Rakaia. "There! It is settled. I look forward to that exciting duel, Princeton, Meiyo. Give it all you got! Show no mercy! Duel each other as if you were in the pros!" Chazz and Rakaia smirked.
"And Rakaia," Sega spoke up. Rakaia turned to her. "You better not quit this duel because I'm going to raise the stakes. Whoever wins this duel gets to duel against me." She smirked as both duelists looked stunned to see such action. Shaking off their shock, they nodded their heads in agreement.
"You're on SEGA!" They said in unison.
Isabella smirked. "I hope you guys give us a good duel Friday night. Oh by the way, Jaden, can I talk to you in private in the Slifer dorms? You too, Atticus. It's pretty important." Atticus and Jaden glanced at each other before glancing back at Isabella, who was already heading out the door. Sega said her goodbyes to the gang and followed her out.
Jaden faced Atticus. "For Belle to want to speak to you and me alone, it must be serious," he whispered. Atticus nodded as he began to stroll to the door. Jaden sighed and told everyone he'll see them later as he ran out the door to follow the older trio to the Slifer dorms. 'For some reason, I had a bad feeling about this and I didn't like it. Not one bit.' He thought as he caught up to them.
