Chapter 8
Reunion of Past and Present (Part 1)
Wild Moonlight Dragon vs. Brionac, Dragon of the Ice Barrier
(Crowler's Office)
Akito Suzuki and Juliana Feriosta were once again standing in front of the Chancellor, he was sitting down looking through paperwork.
"Old man, what are we here for now?" asked an irritated Akito. Crowler frown turned into a scowl as he looked at the boy in question. Juliana, feeling the worst decided to defuse the situation. "Did you call us for the report on the new students?"
The scowl turned into a smile as the Chancellor nodded in response. Akito was about to say something else but his mouth was covered from behind. Crowler looked on and sighed and Juliana flinched a bit. Akito on the other hand was fuming with anger. Veins appeared to throb on his forehead.
"Don't be rude Akito, the Chancellor only wants to know about the student's moral after the ship incident" stated the person holding Akito's mouth closed. Akito brushed off the hand and turned around, growling. The man behind him was wearing the same Spade blazer he was, his slender glasses having a dark tint. He had long blonde hair in a ponytail (common in the Spade dorm). His black pants and boots completed the attire.
Akito growled again, "Kazu if you do that to me again, I'm going to…" the threat was never finished as Juliana had held onto his arm, pulling him down. Aktio looked back to the small girl and grunted; he returned his glare to Kazu and said nothing else.
"Kazu, what do you believe would be best to increase student fortitude. I worry that these incidents will disrupt student determination Na no ne."
"A DUEL" the boy stated in a brutally honest tone. He bowed to the Chancellor and walked out through the front door. Crowler face lit up at the idea, he started searching, violently through the papers on his desk. A flurry of papers began to fly into the air.
Both students looked to the Chancellor with sighs, Juliana walked out dragging Akito. (So he wouldn't say anything else rude.)
The Chancellor looked through the paper work on his desk, and then noticed the pictures of two familiar female duelists. "They will do just fine na no ne."
A blue haired boy walked out of a small room, it was probably the same size as a one-room apartment building. The walls were white in color and the carpet was a nice beige color. The outside of the building had also white walls, but the railing, roof and outside curtains were all green. The building itself could be compared to a motel with a green motif.
"That's expected of the Club dorm, huh?" asked the blue haired boy with a sigh. In two days he was going to start classes and he decided that he should get acquainted with the island. He looked to the green blazer he had and grimaced a bit. He decided to look for the other dorms, and see what things are like.
"Yes, you're in the club dorm senior Zeo" said the Chancellor in his usual accent.
"I don't mind, but isn't that for the lower level duelist?"
"Yes and those duelists who miss dorm registration. Tardiness is also a bad thing Na no ne." replied the Chancellor.
In the white nurse office, giggling could be heard in the background. Ms. Marie looked to the face faulted Zeo, and smiled again. "This is your blazer, and club brand duel disk na no ne."
Two days ago he was given a room in his new dorm, and in that time his two new, um "friends?" helped him get situated. Well Ryuu did, stated it was his duty to help newbies out. Vega on the other hand, said he would test out Zeo's bed and the white haired boy fell asleep and didn't wake up until Zeo had to springboard him out of his bed. That night after careful consideration, he decided to modify his deck. He decided he would leave and explore only, when it was done.
He began to walk on the dirt roads that were abundant on the island. He realized after awhile that he was completely lost. The only thing he could see was a large building that resembled an expensive looking hotel (albeit smaller). This one had a red motif to it and he recognized the blazers people had on. "This must be the Heart dorm, Ryuu said it has a bunch of snobbish duelist here and I should avoid it like the plague."
He was about to hightail it out of there until he notice a familiar set of multicolored eyes and whitish blond hair. He was standing next to the icy blue eyed girl that he met on the boat. They were talking to a pair of students who Zeo had to chuckle about how familiar they were to him.
He sneaked in closer and hid behind the building to snoop in on the conversation.
"…That's all I know, he disappeared before anything else" said the multi-colored eyed boy. The girl next to him with the long hair nodded in agreement. She stopped however when one of the other kids ran up to her and grabbed her by the collar of her red blazer.
"You were the one who saw him…lose; you have to know where he opponent went!" screamed the girl in a sadden tone. The boy she was standing next walked up to the boy with the whitish blond hair and said "We have to find out more about those three guys, and how did the things they did."
"NO, WHEN I FIND THEM I WILL MAKE THEM ALL PAY!" screamed the girl grabbing the collar, completely losing her normally calm composure.
Zeo looked on in shock; Ziste and Taichi were talking to each other while Hayley had Hitomi by the collar. They were talking about the guy who beat him, Fortress. He shook his fist in anger; he will not let that defeat go. He snapped out of his anger and came to a sudden realization, "Three? There were three of them?"
He started to think, if there were three then that would mean they might be on the island. Instead of the reunion that he believed was necessary, he ran the other way to go and investigate the scene.
A man looked on from the distance, and let out a small grin. He walked up to the kids and went "Ms. Hayley Wilson, a message from the Chancellor." The girl in question let go of Hitomi, and took the piece of paper (more like snatched it). She went to read it and the man disappeared. Taichi looked on in skepticism, he didn't like where this was going.
Zeo ran for what felt like hours to the southern pier. To his shock, there was already someone there. The girl turned to him and her eyes narrowed. She was wearing a blue vest instead of a blazer, and a blue skirt. She had on blue boots and the symbol "VII" was evident on her arm.
"NIOBE?" was all Zeo could say. He was sweating profusely and the wind blew the girl's hair into a violent mess. She brushed down her hair, and walked over to the shaken boy. She grabbed him in a warm embrace, and then whispered in his ear "Long time no see, Kuro- chan."
Zeo face turned a bright tomato shade of red and he quickly backed away from the laughing girl. "Please Kuro-chan; you know I go by Kasumi. I couldn't believe that Kaiser was right and you are okay." The girl let out a pretty smile, which made Zeo face become even brighter.
"Niobe-chan, don't call me that name. I'm no longer Kuro" he stated trying to keep his composure. Once again Kasumi held onto his arm, and slowly whispered in his ear "I felt you, I felt your power and I was so happy that you were okay. You can deny it all you want but, you are one of us."
Before Zeo could comment, Kasumi had put her finger on his lips. "We can catch up later, but right know I have to defeat some Heart girl." She then ran off after those words, waving back to Zeo while running.
After the encounter, he decided that he would go back to his dorm for some quiet. "Zeo and Vega, we have an exhibition duel to watch and as the Jack of Clubs you guys are my guess" screamed Ryuu (so much for quiet).
Ryuu dragged (and I do mean dragged) Zeo and Vega back to the school and into a large out door arena. The stage was in the middle and at the same time was surrounded by dozens of seats. It looked like the stage on would have for a concert, and a variety of black, blue, green and red colors were displayed along the stands. Ryuu plopped the two boys down and had them sit down in the front row with some of the teachers. They were right next to Ms. Marie who waved at the three before looking back at the action. Zeo asked who was dueling, and the answer shocked him. Ryuu was waiting for the duel to start and Vega had already fallen to sleep.
Crowler could be seen giddy as a school girl, the idea of a duel between two of the higher rated first years would definitely increase school moral. He looked to see security conversing with one of the duelist but quickly writ it off. He got to the center of the stage and said "WELCOME TO THIS EXHIBITION DUEL BETWEEN TWO OF THE ACADEMY'S BRIGHTEST STUDENTS NA NO NE!"
This got cheers and claps from everyone, well except the sleeping Vega and a couple of Hearts students who had a bad first encounter with a certain brown haired duelist.
During the announcement of names, one duelist walked into the arena with her head down and looking towards the ground. She did this to hide her smirk that appeared after she had just been told something very interesting from the security guard.
"So this girl I'm dueling beat you right?"
"... Yes, but I was holding back you know!"
"Sure, so then I guess I should give it my all then."
The person took out a new deck and put it in to replace the old one in the duel disk. The security guard gasped, then took the old deck and nodded as the girl walked into the arena.
The other person to walk out held a stoic look on her face, as she walked into the arena with an emotionless face. The Chancellor concluded his speech with the finishing phrase "Now Hayley Wilson vs. Niobe Green, DUEL START."
The girls activated their duel disk, both had the same design but one was red, the other blue. Cheers from the audience erupted and everyone was pumped up for the duel.
"Duel"
Hayley LP: 4000
Niobe/Kasumi LP: 4000
They both drew their five cards and Hayley took the start. "I will begin the duel, I draw!" After taking the next card, the arena grew silent. Anticipation for the next move was high and the anxious crowd was ready to erupt.
"I summon Sun Baby in attack mode." After a huge flash of light, a mutated red baby appeared on the field (4/1700/1200) and then two facedown cards appeared under it.
"Turn end" said Hayley, her eyes filled with cynicism. The girl in front of Hayley drew her next card; she grinned a bit before a slot opened up on her duel disk."
"Field Spell, Umiiraka!" All of a sudden a rush of water appeared from everywhere, and both the duelists were standing out in the vast sea. The sun was bright and the water cool. Hayley cynical face vanished a bit, she looked on in shock about how real the place felt.
"Umiiraka is a field spell that increases the ATK power of water attribute monsters by 500 and their defense will go down by 400. Now I summon Water Reflection of the Ice Barrier in Atk mode." A man in a shinobi like attire erupted from the water and stood before it master in a battle stance (2/1200+500/800-400)
Hayley took a defensive stance and awaited her opponents move. "Water Reflection special ability activates since a control only level 2 and lower monsters. Now I get to attack you directly. Water Reflection, direct attack!"
Hayley gasped as the shinobi disappeared into the water and reappeared behind her, she yelled in pain as she was slashed in the back. This got an eruption from most of the students in blue and green, while a chorus of jeers from the red students.
Hayley LP: 2300
Niobe/Kasumi LP: 4000
"One card facedown, then I'll let you go" stated Kasumi as Hayley drew her card. A small smile crept on her face as she said "I summon Wild Rabbit Cub in attack mode."
The small red baby disappeared, then before Hayley appeared a small little blue rabbit with a bushy tail (5/1500/1700).
"I put two more card facedown and that is all" another two facedown cards appeared before her. This move got more jeers from the crowd, especially the red one.
"Why summon a weaker monster?" asked Ziste confused about what happened. Hitomi couldn't answer him while Taichi once again looked on saying nothing.
Kasumi drew her next card and said "I draw, now activate face down card, Compulsory Evacuation Device." After the card resolved, a canon appeared under Kasumi's shinobi and it fired him back at Kasumi. He turned into a card and she caught it. The crowd had a collective gasp, well all except a grimacing Zeo.
Hayley looked on, "why on earth did she send back her own monster?" As if to answer her question, Kasumi said "Now because you have more cards on the field than I do (5 to 1), I can special summon Medium of the Ice Barrier in Atk mode." A women with long teal blue hair slowly and flowing blue and white dress slowly rose from the water (7/2200+500/1600-400). Once again the blue students roared with delight and happiness.
Kasumi continued her assault, now I summon Mother Grizzly in Atk mode." Hayley looked on as a large blue bear appeared before her and let out a loud roar (4/1400+500/1000-400). "Now Mother Grizzly, Attack her little rabbit."
Hayley looked on with confidence "Activate trap card, Draining Shield. Now I recover life points equal to amount of your attack power." A barrier appeared in front of the bunny and a light glowed around Hayley.
Hayley LP: 4200
Niobe/Kasumi LP: 4000
"Fine then, attack the bunny now my medium!" The women summoned an orb of water and fired it at the bunny. Hayley stood there preparing for the damage. The orb blasted the bunny and Hayley.
Hayley LP: 3000
Niobe/Kasumi LP: 4000
The blue students once again cheered, while Ziste asked "Why didn't she activate her other facedown card?" Taichi stated "While Medium of Ice Barrier is on the field; only one spell/trap card can activated this turn."
"Turn end, let's see if you can put up a better fight. I mean you did beat Kaiser after all."
That statement went unnoticed by the crowd, but a few individuals picked up on it, especially Hayley. Her eyes completely narrowed, and she grumbled "So you're with the ones that made Zeo disappear."
Kasumi chuckled, "No, I didn't make Zeo disappear; you and your weakness did. Besides Zeo doesn't exist anymore, so you shouldn't be so hung up on a memory." That statement seemed to enrage Hayley even more, the guilt she felt about getting her new friend involved with this crowd erupted from her and she drew her card.
"I will not forgive you, for what you just said. I activate the special ability of my Wild Rabbit Cub; by giving up 500 LP I can special summon him from the graveyard." The bunny appeared once again in front of her. "Now I sacrifice it to summon Wild Dragon Hatchling. The small sliver white dragon appeared, its wings glisten in the light (6/2600/2400).
Hayley LP: 2500
Niobe/Kasumi LP: 4000
The crowd wearing red, which was extremely quiet, erupted in frenzy. Hayley continued her turn amount the cheers "When Wild Rabbit Cub leaves the field by way other than battle, I draw a two cards. Any tuner monster I draw is automatically special summoned." She picked up her two cards, and quickly summoned one. A small child with a small cape and big head (4/1800/1700).
"I'll tune my Level 4 Moon Baby, with my Level 6 Wild Dragon Hatchling." In front of her Wild Dragon Hatchling turned transparent and was being engulfed by stars and three circles. After a burst of light, a beautiful sphere from the sky floated down in front of Hayley.
A silver white dragon appeared before her, its skin was like moonlight and has a grey crescent moon emblem on his forehead and one on each side of his wings (10/3000/2700). "Wild Moonlight Dragon let us end this!"
"Its special ability allows me to gain attack points for every Wild monster in the graveyard (10/3000+100/2700). Now by giving up half of my Life points, I can declare a direct attack on my opponent. Now attack her directly!" The dragon's body radiated light, which flew and hit her opponent dead on. The cheers heard became louder, while groans could be heard behind Kasumi
Hayley LP: 1250
Niobe/Kasumi LP: 1000
Hayley looked on triumphantly, as she said "I end my turn. Now, you can do better than that can't you?" This statement got a low growl from Kasumi, who drew her next card and quickly played it. "Giant Trunade, will now send back all magic and trap cards on the field." The giant vortex in the sky sucked up every facedown card on the field, as well as the ocean under them."
"I once again summon Water Reflection of the Ice Barrier, and then tune it with my level 4 Mother Grizzly." The shinobi returned again but turned into light the surrounded a now transparent bear."
"Synchro Summon, Brionac, Dragon of the Ice Barrier!" A beautiful crystal blue dragon flew right next to the woman in front of Kasumi. The crowd grew silent, staring in awe of the majesty shown by the creature (6/2300/1400). Hayley looked on and asked "What can it do, it's weaker than my dragon and your medium."
"The ability of my Brionac, by discarding any number of cards from my hand to the Graveyard, I can return from the field to the owner's hand the same number of cards I discarded."
Hayley eyes widened in realization, about what this meant.
Vega finally opened his eyes and said "Now this is fascinating."
The blue crowd roared loudly as the duel's victor seemed well at hand, "DIAMOND, DIAMOND, DIAMOND, DIAMOND, DIAMOND, DIAMOND." The voices seemed to echo out of the arena and can be heard for miles.
Crowler's plan was working but, at what cost?
