CROWLER'S WORST PLAN YET

Disclaimer: I don't own Yu-Gi-Oh! GX or its characters, just this story line.

The Obelisk duel stadium was packed full of students and teachers who want to see two legends of Duel Monsters go head-to-head even though it was only a little demonstration. Chancellor Shepard was the one to silence everybody, "Welcome everybody to the first day of our demonstration. Today, our very special guests will demonstrate how to effectively use your cards to get through any situation." He said into the microphone, before stepping off the stage.

The announcer was heard over the loud speaker, "First we will determine which of our two duelists will start first by having them draw out a card which will not be used during this entire duel. The duelist who has a monster with the highest level starts the duel. Duelists, present your card." Both did what they were told, "And the person starting this duel will be Yugi Moto." Both looked to see what the other had: Kaiba brought out his VWXYZ Dragon Catapult Cannon, which was a level 8 monster, while Yugi brought out Obelisk the Tormentor, which was a level 12 monster. "Now let the match begin!"

Both opponents got their duel disks at the ready, and yelled out those two famous words "Lets Duel!"

(I'll skip to the end of the duel since I'm still not entirely sure how to write a duel out of thin air. But if you still want to see a duel, use your imagination.)

The duel was more intense than anyone has ever expected, with both sides going at it even though this was suppose to be only a small demonstration. Right now, Kaiba has brought out his Blue Eyes Shining Dragon out, which was sporting a whopping 4800 attack points, with his life points at the moment holding at 500, with an empty hand, and nothing face down.

Yugi on the other hand only had two cards in his hand, one card face down, no monsters on the field, and his life points holding barely at 50. "My draw," He yelled out, while pulling a card out of his deck, he looked at it before saying, "I play Pot of Greed in order to draw two new cards," he said, while doing what he was suppose to. When he looked at the cards he drew, he pressed a button on his duel disk and said "I play Monster Reborn in order to bring back my Dark Magician, and then I play the spell card Emblem of the Dragon Destroyer which allows me to bring a Buster Blader from my deck or my graveyard straight to my hand." Just as he said that, he than grabbed a card and shown it to his opponent, "Now I play Polymerization to fuse Dark Magician with Buster Blader in my hand in order to summon Dark Paladin." When he did that, the Dark Magician changed into a darker, powerful version of himself, with his attack points, which started at 2900, now went up to 5900. Kaiba's eyes grew huge due to the last time he saw that monster, "Now Dark Paladin, take out that shining dragon."

Dark Paladin did what it was told and charged towards his intended target. With one swipe of it's blade, the dragon was destroyed, as well as the rest of Kaiba's life points. When the holograms disappeared, and the duel disks returned to their resting position, Yugi walked up to Kaiba and said, "Good game." While extending out his hand.

While the old Kaiba would have just smack the hand aside due to his wounded pride, this Kaiba gladly took it, due to the fact that after Yugi's ceremonial duel against Atem, that he was able to acknowledge his friend and rival that he truly is a great duelist. "Indeed it was, and even without the God cards, you were still able to defeat me."

Yugi just chuckle a bit before facing the audience, catching a microphone that was tossed to him and his partner, "As you can see, this duel demonstrates that no matter how many rare cards you have, no matter what your social status is, or even what color your dorm is, all that really matters is how much you put yourself into the deck you build and how much you put into the duel." He said into the mike.

Kaiba spoke next, "And I'm pretty sure you noticed the difference in how me and Yugi have belt our decks, if not, then I'll be more than glad to explain it to you." He said, trying to sound like his old arrogant self, while Yugi just slapped his hand to his head, "From what you have seen, I've designed my deck to be a powerhouse, to be able to bring me a quick victory."

"Not to mention rub it in to the people you defeat." Yugi said, taking his turn, while Kaiba just gave him one of his glares, "And while I too have some powerful monsters, I've built my deck to be adaptable, to be able to do more than put up fight. While most of you might already know that the Dark Magician is my main favorite, just like the Blue Eyes White Dragon is Kaiba's, what we try hard to do is not to rely on them too much or else otherwise, they would also become our downfall."

"As well as your own personal pride," Kaiba decided to finish off their little speech, "While some of you might have found out the hard way about how having a strong winning streak come to a disastrous end, right now the only thing a true duelist needs to remember is that if you have good enough friends who will stick by you, no matter what the outcome is, and you can get through anything." He said before facing Sheppard, "Chancellor." He called out before tossing him the mike.

"Thank you for that demonstration Mr. Kaiba, Mr. Moto," Sheppard said before turning his attention towards the audiences, "You are all free for the rest of the day, and remember, we have two more duels coming up. Tomorrow will be a tag duel, with Mr. Kaiba and our very own Zane Trunsdale going up against Yugi Moto and another one of our own, Jaden Yuki. The duel on the following day will be our little surprise, so whatever you do, don't miss either one."

The crowds were dispersing, so Jaden and Syrus were able to catch up to the rest of their little group, "That was one intense duel, wasn't it Jay?" Syrus asked his friend, who looked like he was about to explode with excitement.

"You got that right, Sy." Jaden answered, "Man I can't wait until tomorrow."

Bastion decided to speak his peace, "I could imagine since you'll be sharing the spotlight tomorrow with two duelists of legendary proportions."

When they stepped out of the main building, they were still chatting until they noticed their two guests were waiting for them. "Hey Yugi, Kaiba, what's up?" Jaden greeted in his usual manner.

Yugi just gave a slight chuckle, 'He and Joey would get along perfectly.' He thought, before answering, "Not much, we just thought we remind the two students who we will be dueling side by side with that you better have your decks ready by tomorrow."

Jaden was about to answer until a familiar voice came from behind him, becoming frozen with fear, "Hey Jaden, guess who!" Jaden slowly turned around to see a young girl about half his age, who a few months ago pretended to be a boy, waving at him.

He quickly turned around and said "Sure thing Yugi. Later everyone!" Before hightailing it out of there, with Blair right on his tail.

Everyone left behind couldn't help but laugh a little at Jaden's little predicament, so Kaiba was the one to ask, "Fan girl, right?"

Atticus answered to this, "Yup. First she was Zane here, now she set her eyes on Jaden and he hasn't had moment's peace yet."

Yugi was to reply when it became his turn to be afraid, "Oh, Yugi! Remember me?" He looked to see a familiar Chinese woman, someone he dueled while he and his friends were forced to attend the KC Grand Championship.

Yugi quickly said "I think I'll go help Jaden getting his deck ready." Before rushing out in some random direction, with Vivian Wong right on his tail.

Everybody else decided to go after them for damage control.

Unknown to them, Crowler was watching the whole thing. While he enjoyed seeing the one he despises the most running for his life, he just about fainted when he saw one of the legends being chased as well. When they left, Crowler only had one thought on his mind, 'What did I do to deserve this!"

Here's the new chapter. Sorry that the duel wasn't what you expecting, just the problem is that whenever you see them duel, you're lucky you get to see barely half of the cards that they have in there decks, while you're guessing the rest since supposedly, they keep swapping out cards. Right now I wouldn't mind some help with the next couple duels, just as long as they fit the duelist perfectly. Read and Review, and please keep the flames to a low roar.
