Yu-Gi-Oh GX: Season 1

Last time so did Jaden and Syrus learn that the teachers had learned about them going to the abandoned dorm and that they would have to be punished for it, so they would have to participate in a tag duel, if they won they would go free of charges, if they lost they would get expelled, Jaden who found out the reason about Syrus low self confidence challenged his older brother Zane to a duel, while Jaden lost the duel so did it help Syrus understand what his brother had tried to tell him and then Jaden had a practice duel which Jaden won the next day, so what will our hero face next on the island?

Chapter 8- Jaden's secret revealed & duel to defend

It had now gone three days since Jaden and Syrus's practice duel against each other and the two Slifer boys had together with Chumley gone through their decks in order to be prepared during the past days, right now it was evening and they were walking back towards the Slifer dorm, Jaden and Syrus had once again had a practice duel and Chumley had gone with them in order to watch it and he could see that Syrus was really improving on his dueling skills each time the two of them had a practice duel.

Jaden and the boys were currently walking through the forest, Syrus looked at Jaden, "You know Jay, had it been before your duel with Zane then I might be terrified that it's only two more days before the tag duel, but that duel really helped me open my eyes to things I never thought about before, like how to know the right timing to play a card, but thanks to you I finally get it".

Jaden smiled at him, "Well you're my friend Syrus, and I always help my friends when they need me", but then Syrus saw Jaden suddenly get a look of shock on his face and Syrus then notice his eyes suddenly turn golden for a few seconds before they turned brown again, Syrus had seen that kind of thing only once before and he had thought he had only imagined it that time, but now he saw it again and this time it was not just for an instant.

Syrus was about to ask about his eyes when Jaden walked ahead of them and stopped and looked around himself, Syrus and Chumley had also stopped and looked at him confused and concerned, Syrus more concerned and Chumley more confused since he hadn't seen Jaden's eyes change color.

Suddenly the three Slifer boys felt the ground tremble underneath their feet, and then Syrus and Chumley noticed cracks appearing under their feet, Jaden also noticed it and ran towards them, he then threw himself at them and managed to pull both of the boys out of the way just in time as the ground burst open and something big came out of it, Jaden and his friends looked up and saw something that looked like a stone dragon leaning over them while growling, Syrus was the first one to say something, "W-WH-WHA-WHAT IS THAT THING!?" Jaden looked at him, "It's the duel spirit Stone D, it's a level 7 rock type monster with 2000 attack and 2300 defense and it looks like it's after me".

Syrus and Chumley looked at him confused and they saw him look at them as his eyes once again turned golden, "Well it was fun having friends while it lasted", Syrus and Chumley were about to ask what he meant when Jaden stood up, he opened his deck box and pulled out three cards, "Now spirits of the Elemental heroes Burstinatrix and Avian, join together to form the duel spirit known as Elemental Hero Flame Wingman".

Syrus and Chumley saw how Avian and Burstinatrix appeared and flames covered both of them and out of the flames came Flame Wingman, Flame Wingman landed in front of Jaden, he looked at Jaden, "Shall I Jaden?" Syrus and Chumley almost felt their chins hit the ground when they heard Flame Wingman talk, Jaden only nodded, Flame Wingman vanished in high speed and reappeared in front of Stone D with his dragon arm covered in flames and he slammed it into the stone dragon's face, causing it to roar in pain, Chumley and Syrus looked on in shock as they realized that both creatures were actually real and were fighting a real battle. Flame Wingman kept slamming his burning dragon arm into the stone dragon's head in any spot he could hit.

But then Stone D managed to duck for one hit and rammed his head into Flame Wingman, sending him crashing into the ground, Jaden held his chest in pain and groaned, Syrus and Chumley got worried and asked if he was okay but Jaden told them to stay behind him, Flame Wingman got back up again and used his high speed to get behind Stone D and there he hit him with his Infernal Rage, the stone dragon once again roared in pain, but he turned around and grabbed Flame Wingman with his mouth and tossed him into the ground, he then split the ground just enough for Flame Wingman to fall down and get trapped in the ground so that only the top half of his body were above ground.

Jaden growled a little when he saw Flame Wingman trapped and then noticed Stone D coming right at them, he looked at the other two, "Guys look out", he managed to push them out of the way and jump in the opposite direction right before Stone D slammed into the ground where they had just been standing, Stone D then took and encircled Chumley and Syrus so that they couldn't escape, he saw how Stone D looked at him and growled and he understood what it said, it was telling him that after it was done with his friends, he would be next.

He saw how Stone D lower him towards the boys and he knew he was about to drain them on their life force, "Flame Wingman", he looked at Flame Wingman who looked at the situation and knew he needed to get free, he took and opened the mouth on the dragon arm and fired his Infernal Rage at the ground at full power, managing to force himself out of the ground and up into the air, he then covered his entire body with flames and flew towards Stone D and rammed into him hard which sent him crashing onto the ground, Flame Wingman then grabbed both Syrus and Chumley and used his high speed to move over to Jaden and put down the two Slifer boys next to him, Jaden looked him in the face, "Alright Flame Wingman, it's time to finish him off old friend", Flame Wingman nodded, "At once", Flame Wingman flew up in the air and hit Stone D with his Infernal Rage with full power causing Stone D to roar in agony, once the fire disappeared so were Stone D standing still as smoke appeared from every part of his body and cracks appeared on his body.

Flame Wingman then took and flew up high up using his high speed, he then took and covered himself with flames and dove down and attacked Stone D with his Skydive Scorcher, causing an explosion which finally destroyed Stone D, Jaden grabbed a hold of both Syrus and Chumley and his eyes glowed dark golden and the three of them got covered by a golden aura which shielded them from the shockwaves of the explosion.

Flame Wingman landed in front of Jaden and Jaden thanked him, Flame Wingman nodded, "Call me whenever you need help my friend", then Flame Wingman disappeared and Jaden's eyes turned brown again, Jaden turned to his friends and saw them looking at him, "I guess I have some explaining to do, but we should get out of here before someone shows up, to be honest I'm surprise no one has already showed up". Chumley and Syrus nodded and left the forest.

A FEW MINUTES LATER,

Jaden and the other two had managed to return to their dorm room before Professor Banner entered the room to see if they were there and that they were okay, they nodded and he left, he sighed and then looked at his two best friend with a troubled look on his face.

"Well I guess I should start from the beginning, soon after I turned 8 years old I was playing with my cards and then suddenly some of my monsters appeared around me, for real, I panic until Yubel appeared as well and calmed me down and said she would explain".

Syrus and Chumley looked at him confused, "Yubel?" Jaden opened his deck box and pulled out a card and showed them it, it was Yubel's card, "I think I will have her help me explain this", Jaden's eyes turned golden and then the card glowed, then Yubel appeared next to him, Chumley at that moment gasped in shock, "Hey that's the woman I have sometimes seen next to you, so she was real?" Jaden nodded, "She's one of my duel spirits, spirits of cards and some rare people can see them and even communicate with them, like me, some can kind of see them, like you Chumley, and like I said I also have the ability to summon monsters for real, that's a really rare power from what I get".

Chumley and Syrus nodded, "So why can you call upon real monsters?" Jaden shrugged his shoulders, "I have no idea, Yubel knows but she won't tell me", the three boys looked at Yubel, she sighed, "I will tell Jaden when he's ready for it", Syrus looked at her confused, "Don't you think that he's ready now that he's 16?"

Yubel looked at him, "Him being ready is not only about his age, another reason is that he still haven't fully learned to control his powers and that's necessary for him to fully understand some parts of his powers, and the consequences if he can't control them". The boys looked at each other and Jaden then looked at her again, "You have always told me I was born with these powers for a reason, has that anything to do with why you're not telling me?" She nodded and he sighed, "Well then I guess I just have to accept it until you feel I'm ready to know everything", Yubel looked at him with a sad look on her face and apologized, Jaden gave her a small smirk and told her to relax and that he wasn't mad.

Jaden looked at his two friends, "The reasons why I haven't told you guys are simple, 1, you wouldn't have believed me and 2, I was worried that if I did then it would be like in middle school", The boys looked at him confused and he sighed, "You see during the time I was in middle school so did a bully at my school that was two years older see me summon Yubel by accident because I was careless, even though no one believed him when he told people so didn't that stop him and his friends from treating me as the biggest freak in history, and that made others avoid me since they were afraid they would be called freaks too".

Syrus and Chumley looked at him sadly, "That's not licious Jaden, how long did that last?" Jaden looked at Chumley a little sadly as well, "For about a year, it stopped first when the bully and his friends were forced to move to other schools, you see they tried to make me summon Yubel or another duel spirit again but I wouldn't do it, eventually they lost their patience and began to beat me up in order to make me do it again, and that made my parents talk to theirs, and they managed to convince them to move their kids to different schools, hoping that would make them stop bulling other kids".

Jaden then sighed and looked at Syrus and Chumley with a pained look, "So, what do you guys think of me now? Do you two want me to move out of this room?" Syrus and Chumley looked at him in utter confusion, "Well with my experience I know that people have a tendency to want to avoid people like me, so if you don't want me here then I can move to another room and then keep my distance from you", Jaden took and walked towards the door, he was planning on talking to Professor Banner about letting him change room since he was sure that Syrus and Chumley wouldn't want him there anymore.

But then he felt two hands grab each of his arms, one small and one big, he looked and saw Syrus to his left and Chumley to his right, both with pained expressions on their faces, Jaden then looked at Syrus again as he spoke, "Jaden, do you think that we will turn our backs on you because of what you can do? You're our friend Jaden and no matter what you're able to do we will never abandoned you". Jaden looked at Syrus and then at Chumley who nodded his head, agreeing with what Syrus said.

Jaden felt tears almost form in his eyes as he heard what they said, he pulled his arms loose and then turned around and pulled both boys into a hug, "You guys are the best", Chumley and Syrus smiled at each other and hugged him back. They then sat down and talked some more about Jaden's powers, Jaden admitted that he was responsible for the crater in the forest that had been filled up, Syrus then asked, "By the way Jay who was that bully? Did you ever see him again?"

Jaden shook his head, "No I never saw him again, but if you want to know his name then his name is Jake Becker", at that moment so froze Chumley in his seat, he a few seconds looked at Jaden worried, "Jaden, had he dark blue eyes, and black spiky hair?" Jaden looked at him now a bit worried, "Why do you know that Chum?" Chumley looked troubled, "There is a third year Obelisk whose name is Jake Becker and he fits that description".

Jaden looked at him in shock, he then groaned in frustration, "Oh great, of all the schools in the world he had to go to Duel Academy, but there is something I don't get, he must have realized that I'm the same Jaden he bullied back then, so why haven't he come here to torment me again?" Chumley sighed, "Well he is one of the more arrogant Obelisks, he has sometimes when he comes to a puddle of mud pushed down a Slifer into the mud and walked over them, saying that's where the Slifers belong, underneath his feet, he has picked on me a few times, anyway he thinks coming to the Slifer dorm is way below him, so he won't pick on someone from the Slifer dorm unleash he meets them around campus or anywhere around the island".

Jaden sighed and smiled a little, "Well hopefully we won't run into him anytime soon, but let's forget about him for now, how about we go to bed now, I'm still a bit sore from that battle and if you guys are okay with it we can talk more about it tomorrow". Syrus and Chumley looked at each other and then nodded and the three of them went to bed and went to sleep, Jaden was relieved that even after finding out about what Jaden could do so didn't Syrus and Chumley turn their backs on him before he fell asleep.

THE NEXT DAY,

Jaden and his friends were walking around campus talking, Jaden told them how his Elemental Heroes were more than just cards for him, since he could communicate with duel spirits so were he really close to them, they were more than friends to him, they were like his family. They were smiling and laughing as they talked until Syrus who was walking around a corner collided with someone, "I'm really sorry, I wasn't paying attention to where I was walking". He then looked up and gulped when he saw a big Obelisk student, and made him a little worried is that this Obelisk fit the description Chumley gave of Jaden's old bully, dark blue eyes and black spiky hair, so he realized this was Jake Becker.

Jake turned around and cracked his knuckles, "You have lots of nerves you Slifer garbage, walking into me, but you know I will forgive you after beating you up and taking your five best cards", he threw a punch at Syrus who stood there terrified but another arm caught the punch before it reached Syrus, "I see you haven't changed a bit Becker", Jake looked next to him and got a smirk on his face when he saw that it was Jaden and that Chumley was behind him, "Well well if it isn't the biggest freak in the history of mankind, let me guess these losers are your friends since no one else would want to be the friend of a freak like you".

Jaden's eyes narrowed and he twisted Jake's arm a little, making him get a grimace on his face, after a few seconds he released his arm, "You can say whatever you want about me Becker, I don't care what idiots like you call me, but don't insult these two since their my dear friends".

Syrus and Chumley looked at Jaden with happy expressions which immediately turned angry when Jake said, "Yeah well no normal person would want to be near a freak like you, so I'm not surprise that Truesdale's loser brother and the fatso Chumley Huffington wants to be near you".

Jaden was about to tell Jake that calling him a freak was getting old and to stop insulting his friends when Chumley suddenly stepped forward much to Jaden and Syrus's shock, Chumley stood face to face with Jake now, "Don't you dare insult Jaden or Syrus anymore", Jake laughed, "Or what fatso? Tell you what, if you beat me in a duel then I will consider it", before Jaden could say anything so did Chumley nod much to the other boys shock, "Alright, then meet us down at the docks later this evening Becker, there I will take you down", Jake looked at him shocked for a few seconds before he laughed, "Oh you're a bigger idiot then I thought fatso, fine I will enjoy put you in your place later this evening". He then walked away while Chumley turned around to his friends asking them if they could help him with his deck. Jaden quickly got a smirk on his face, "Of course Chum, and when we're done you will royally kick his ass right Sy?" Syrus quickly lost his worried look and nodded with a smile, the three boys return to the Slifer dorm in order to work on Chumley's deck.

LATER THAT EVENING AT THE DOCKS,

Chumley walked across the docks with a Duel Disk on his arm with Jaden and Syrus walking behind him, they saw Jake Becker standing there waiting for them with a confident smirk on his face, "I was sure that you would run away fatso, would spare you the humiliation of being completely crushed by me".

Chumley activated his Duel Disk and put in his deck, "Let's just duel Becker", Jake growled and activated his Duel Disk as well and put in his deck, "I will now definitely not let you escape because of that arrogant attitude you fat Slifer garbage", both of them took and drew their first five cards.

Chumley put his fingers on his deck, "I will start", he drew his sixth card and looked at it, "I now play one card face down and then one monster face down in defense mode and then I end my turn", a card appeared in front of Chumley as well as a monster card face down in defense mode, Jake laughed, "Well if that's all you got, then this won't take long, now I summon Warrior Dai Grepher in attack mode", Warrior Dai Grepher appeared on the field, Atk: 1700, "Next I will attack your face down monster with Warrior Dai Grepher", Warrior Dai Grepher took and struck the card, but to Jake's shock so did Chumley smile as the card was revealed to be Des Koala, Def: 1800, "Des Koala have 1800 defense points, so he survives, and that's not all", suddenly Jake felt like he got struck five times, Jake LP: 4000-1900.

"Hold on I should have only lost 100 life points, why did I lose 2100?" Chumley got a smirk on his face, "When Des Koala is flipped up from face down to face up so does he take away 400 points from the opponent for every card they have in their hand, you have five so that's 2000 points and also the difference between my monster's defense and your monster's attack makes it 2100 points of damage for you".

Jake growled, "Don't get cocky because of one lucky move you Slifer garbage, I will still win, I now play the spell card Quick Summon, now I can summon another monster, so now I summon Luster Dragon in attack mode", Luster Dragon appeared on the field, Atk: 1900, "Now destroy Des Koala with Breath of Fire", Luster Dragon took and fired an intense stream of fire from his mouth and destroyed Des Koala, "I now play one card face down and end my turn", A card appeared in front of Jake as he ended his turn.

Chumley took and drew his next card, "I play my face down Koala March, with it I can summon one level 4 or below Koala monster from my graveyard to the field, so I bring back my Des Koala", Des Koala reappeared on the field, Atk: 1100.

Syrus looked at Jaden, "So Chumley got his Des Koala back, but it can't do anything to Becker's two monsters", Jaden smiled at him, "Maybe, but Koala March has another effect that let's Chumley summon another Koala from his hand, of course it has to be the same as the monster he brought back from the graveyard, and I'm sure he has another Des Koala in his hand, Alright Chum, show us what you got".

Chumley nodded, "I now summon another Des Koala in attack mode", another Des Koala appeared next to the first, "Now I sacrifice both of them in order to summon my Big Koala in attack mode", both of the Des Koalas left the field in order for the big blue Big Koala to appear, Atk: 2700. Jake got a smirk on his face, "Since you just normal summoned a monster so can I activate my face down, my Hidden Soldiers trap card, now since you summoned a monster I can summon a level 4 or below monster from my hand so I now summon Dark Blade in attack mode", Dark Blade appeared on the field, Atk: 1800.

Chumley narrowed his eyes, it doesn't matter, Big Koala is stronger than any of your monsters, Big Koala attack his Luster Dragon now, Takedown From Down Under", Big Koala ran on all four towards Luster Dragon before he grabbed him and tossed him into the ground, destroying the dragon, Jake LP: 1900-1100.

Syrus looked at Jaden excited, "Chumley has almost taken 3000 of Becker's life points and have not lost even a single point himself yet, maybe he will win without any trouble", but he then got quiet as he saw the look on Jaden's face, "What's the matter Jay?" Jaden look at him, "It seems like Becker wants monsters on his field, which makes me think he plans on summoning something powerful and needs a few sacrifices, which makes me think Chum still has a way to go". Syrus looked back to the duel, now that he thought about it so did it look like Jaden was right and so he got a little worried about Chumley.

Jake drew his next card, "I play Pot of Greed and draw two more cards", he drew his cards and looked at them, "I now play Silent Doom, which lets me bring back one monster in defense mode, so I bring back Luster Dragon since he's the only monster in my graveyard", Luster Dragon reappeared on his knees with his wings folded around him, Def: 1600, "Next I sacrifice him, along with Dark Blade and Warrior Dai Grepher in order to summon my Gilford the Lightning in attack mode".

Lightning struck Jake's three monsters and soon stood Gilford the Lightning there in their place Atk: 2800, "And since I sacrificed three monsters to summon him so will he now destroy all the monsters on your side of the side, so say good bye to your Big Koala now", Gilford drew his sword and swung it so a slash flew towards Big Koala, it hit him and lightning went through his body before he got destroyed, "And now Gilford will attack your life points directly", Gilford swung his sword again and sent a slash of lightning towards Chumley and it hit him, Chumley LP: 4000-1200.

Jake then grabbed his last card, "I now activate the spell card Sebek's Blessing, when I attack my opponent directly so can I activate this and then I gain life points equal to the damage you took, so I'm almost back to full power", Jake LP: 1100-3900, "Now make your last move you Slifer garbage, nothing you do will save you from this situation now".

Chumley was starting to feel a bit worried now, he was down to 1200 life points and had no monster on the field, the only monster he had in his hand was Des Kangaroo and he could only save him for one turn unless Jake drew another monster, he thought he would lose no matter what he did, but then he heard Jaden call out to him, he looked at Jaden and saw him with crossed arms, he had a very serious that you would not see very often on his face.

"Don't lose hope yet Chum, if there is something I have learned so is that one draw can change the end result of a duel, like in my duel with Titan, you couldn't see the ending but I had no monsters, no cards in my hand and one face down I couldn't use, from how things looked I would without a doubt lose on Titan's next turn, but the card I drew changed all of that and I got it because I believed in my deck, so all you have to do is have faith and your deck will answer you".

Jake laughed, "You really are an idiot, cards are only pieces of paper, they can't respond to our feelings, only losers believe in that kind of things". But Chumley looked at Jaden and nodded with a serious look, thinking about what Jaden told him that the cards had their own spirits, and if you had faith in your deck then it would most of the time answer that faith.

Chumley looked at his three cards, he needed one card now to finish this, so he knew he needed to trust his deck to help him, he took and drew his card, he looked at it, it wasn't what he needed but it would give him another chance to get it, "I play Pot of Greed to draw two more cards", he drew his cards and looked at them, he got a smirk on his face, he placed one of the two cards into his Duel Disk, "I now play Premature Burial, by paying 800 life points this card let's me summon one monster from the graveyard to the field and equip this card to it, so now I summon back Big Koala in attack mode", Big Koala reappeared on the field, Chumley LP: 1200-400.

Chumley then took two other cards from his hand, "I now play the spell card Polymerization and fuse the Big Koala on my field with the Des Kangaroo in my hand in order to fusion summon Master of Oz in attack mode". Big Koala and Des Kangaroo jumped into the vortex and out came Master of Oz, Atk: 4200

Jake looked at the monster in shock, "4200 attack points? Well with just that you won't be able to wipe out my life points, I will survive and then I will make a comeback next turn". Chumley grabbed another card in his hand, "You won't get another turn, because I play the spell card Wild Nature's Release", Jake got a look of horror on his face and Syrus looked confused at Jaden, "I haven't heard about that card before, do you know what it does?"

Jaden looked at him, "Well Wild Nature's Release is kind of a risky card, you see it lets you chose one of your beast type monsters and that target gains attack points equal to its current defense points, but at the end of the turn so will the card destroy the targeted monster, but with how things are now, there won't be a next turn".

With only one monster so was it obvious that Chumley chose Master of Oz, the boxing glove wearing Koala glowed in a blue aura, Atk: 4200-7900, Jake took a step backward, "This can't be happening, I'm a Obelisk, I'm one of the best of the best, and you are a Slifer, the worst of the worst, you're garbage compared to me, there is no way you should be able to beat me".

Chumley looked at him with a determined look on his face, "If I have learned anything from being around Jaden is that it doesn't matter which dorm you're in, what matters the most is your trust in yourself and your cards and the support from the friends around you, and that's why this duel will end with your defeat, Master of Oz end this now, attack Gilford the Lightning and wipe out Becker's life points".

Master of Oz took and punched Gilford the Lightning with his mighty fist and destroyed him, Jake LP: 3900-0, Jake went down on his knees, "That's not possible, I lost to a friend of the freak Jaden Yuki", Chumley walked over to him and looked at him, "No matter what Jaden might be able to do or can't do it won't change the kind of person he is, a person who is a million times better than you".

Chumley walked back to his friends who both had huge smiles on their faces and congratulated him on his victory, Chumley smiled at them and thanked them, he then looked directly at Jaden, "Thanks Jaden, if you hadn't told me that I might have given up the duel since I believed I would lose anyway". Jaden got a smirk on his face and patted him on his back, they then walked away while leaving a depressed Jake Becker behind.

As they walked back to the Slifer dorm so did Chumley look at them, "The tag duel is tomorrow, all you two have to do now is win that and then the three of us can continue to chill and have fun at the Slifer dorm, after all you are my best friends and I refuse to lose you two, so no matter how invincible the opponents Crowler are arranging to face you are, just crush them in that tag duel". Jaden and Syrus smiled at him, they promised him that they would win the duel and that they would come back to the Slifer dorm and that the three of them would have many more funny memories together, they then arrived at the Slifer dorm and immediately went to bed so that Jaden and Syrus would be well rested and have much energy tomorrow for the duel that would decide if they would be allowed to stay at Duel Academy or be on the next boat of the island.

So Chumley and Syrus found about Jaden's powers but that didn't change their thoughts about him, they then ran into Jaden's old bully who was a third year Obelisk, because of his attitude so did Chumley challenge him to a duel to teach him a lesson, the duel that evening were intense but Chumley won, now in order for things to go back to normal for them so would Jaden and Syrus had to win their tag duel tomorrow, but what kind of opponents have Crowler fixed for them?
