Chapter 9: The Flight of Dragons
Yusuke was getting out of the Ra Yellow Dorm, with his duel disk. Unaware that a pair of brown eyes was following him leave from behind the trees. In ten minutes, Yusuke had walked out to the middle of the campus woods, wondering who could be challenging him to a duel.
He just knew that he was being followed and stopped in his tracks as he entered Obelisk girl's territory, "Okay, I know that you're following me, so come out."
Just then, a figure came into the moonlight, "Keiko, what are you doing out here?" Yusuke asked
"Well……uh….I," Keiko stuttered and blushing, feeling embarrassed about following Yusuke, "I was a little worried that it could be an Obelisk, who's calling you and trying to be funny, that's all."
"Don't worry I can take care of myself," Yusuke said, "But if you'd like to come with me then that's fine."
Unaware that they were being followed, by a figure in behind the trees "How convenient that I found Hikari's brother here at Obelisk grounds," Chazz said, to himself, "I wonder why he's here though."
A few moments later, the two Ra Yellow duelists walked deeper into Obelisk territory.
"I thought that you would come alone,"
The two teens turned to see Alexis, with two other Obelisk girls with her, twenty feet away from them, "It's you!" Yusuke said, pointing at Alexis, "Was it you, who called me?"
Chazz was a bit surprised that Alexis would call Yusuke, to come over there.
"Yeah, I saw you duel during the entrance exam," Alexis replied, "And I wanted to see your skills for myself."
"Plus, if you don't duel then we'll report you two for trespassing in Obelisk grounds," the black haired Obelisk added
"What!" Keiko exclaimed, in outrage, "But he was called here by you!"
Yusuke narrowed his eyes at this, "Humph, I guess I could use the warm up for the future duels," he said, putting his deck into his duel disk and activating it.
"What do you mean by using Alexis as a 'warm up'?" the red headed Obelisk spat
"Yeah, Alexis is one of the best duelists around!" the black haired Obelisk added
"Okay, whatever you say," Yusuke said, "So are you ready!"
"Whoa, Yusuke, are you sure you can handle dueling an Obelisk, now!" Keiko asked
"Like I said, Keiko, I can handle myself," Yusuke said, with a confident grin on his face
Alexis's duel disk activates, "I'm ready, Yusuke!" she declared
"A duel with an Obelisk," Chazz said, "Much less the Obelisk queen."
"Let's duel!" both duelists declared, (ALP: 8000/YLP: 8000)
"Watashi no turn!" Alexis announced as she drew her sixth card. She smirked as she saw it. "I play Cyber Tutu in attack mode!" Alexis slid the card into her disk, and the red and blue jump suited cyber-ballerina appeared in front of her. (ATK: 1000), "Next, I'll place one card face down! Turn Endo!"
"Ore no turn, draw!" Yusuke pulled the top card from his deck and automatically knew what he was going to do to the blonde, "I'll activate Snatch Steal, now I can take control of your monster as if it was my own!"
"What……" Before Alexis could realize this, her Cyber Tutu had jumped from her side of the field and to Yusuke's side, "My Cyber Tutu!" Alexis cried, "No!"
"Next, I'll sacrifice yo……I mean my Cyber Tutu and summon forth my Armed Dragon LV5!" Cyber Tutu disappears from the field and in her place was a much larger red and black dragon with spikes all over its body. (ATK: 2400)
Alexis gulped, "Uh oh!" she said, in fear
"I can't believe it!" the black haired Obelisk exclaimed, in outrage, "That kid had used Alexis's monster to sacrifice a monster with 2400 attack points!"
"If you think that I'm going to use this dragon to do some damage, then think again," Yusuke told Alexis, "I'll activate the spell card, Level Up, to change my Armed Dragon LV5 to Armed Dragon LV7!" the large dragon grew into a even larger dangerous looking dragon (ATK: 2800)
"Now that's one big dragon!" the red headed exclaimed
"Yeah, and get a look at Alexis!" the black haired girl said, "She's freaking out!" Alexis was stammering at the sight of the dragon
"Mindy, a 24 foot dragon would do that to a girl!"
Chazz was a bit skeptical at this, "No way, that kid summoned a monster with 2800 points in his first turn."
"Now Armed Dragon attack her life points directly with Dragon Talon Terror!" Yusuke commanded as his dragon raised his right claw up and strikes Alexis hard, making the blonde turn around and have her face hit the ground as her life points took a huge hit. (ALP: 8000)-(ALP: 5200)
"Alexis!" the two Obelisk girls cried, seeing the blonde on the floor
"Awesome hit, Yusuke!" Keiko complemented
Yusuke grinned, "Turn Endo!"
"That's gotta hurt," Chazz commented
Alexis placed her palms on the ground and lifted her face from it and slowly got up on her feet and faced Yusuke, 'Damn it, I lost almost half my life points,' she thought, "Watashi no turn draw!" Alexis drew from her deck, "I'll activate Monster Reborn to revive my Cyber Tutu from the graveyard!" Cyber Tutu rose from the grave and giving Yusuke a pissed off look (ATK: 1000)
"Gee let me guess you're going to attack me directly with that monster," Yusuke said, "Don't play dumb, I already know that Cyber Tutu has a special power that she can attack my life points directly, if I have monsters that are more powerful than her."
"Whoa, that kid knew about Cyber Tutu's effect," Mindy said, with surprise
"That's right! Now, Cyber Tutu attack Yusuke directly with Pounding Piroutette!" Alexis commanded as Cyber Tutu charged forward, spinning over Armed Dragon and kicking Yusuke in the face.
"Nice shot, Alexis!" Mindy cheered
"That's cheap!" Keiko spat, glaring at Alexis
Yusuke (YLP: 8000)-(YLP: 7000) winced after the attack as Cyber Tutu return to Alexis's side of the field, "Yeah, no kidding, because that Tutu is going back to the graveyard in my next turn!" Yusuke added
"I'd love to see you try!" Alexis shouted and sliding a card in the spell/trap slot, "I'll place this facedown! Turn Endo!"
"Ore no turn, draw!" Yusuke drew his next card and places it in his hand, "I'll call Mirage Dragon in attack mode!" an almost transparent yellow dragon with large light blue hair appears on the field and growled at Cyber Tutu (ATK: 1600), "Then, I'll activate my Armed Dragon LV7's special ability, by sending one monster to my graveyard, I can send your Cyber Tutu packing!" Yusuke announced, as he was pointing at Cyber Tutu, "And the card I'm sending is Horus the Black Flame Dragon LV6, 2300 points, which means that your Tutu bites the dust!" Yusuke slid the card into the graveyard slot, "Now Armed Dragon destroy that ballerina with Serrated Sonic Disc!" Armed Dragon's stomach sends large light blue sonic disks at Cyber Tutu, who was screaming in fear as the disks hit her and sends the futuristic ballerina to oblivion.
"No my Cyber Tutu!" Alexis exclaims
"And since you have no monsters out, Mirage Dragon attack Alexis directly with Spectrum Blast!" Yusuke commanded as his dragon shots a beam of light blue energy.
Alexis grunts, "Hold it right there!" she shouted, "I'll activate my trap, Negate Attack!"
"Oh I'm sorry," Yusuke said, with sarcasm, "Did I forget to tell you about my Mirage Dragon's special ability?"
Alexis was stunned, "Wait don't tell that……"
"As long it stays on the field, you can't activate any trap cards during a battle phase!" Yusuke declared as Alexis's Negate Attack trap disappears.
"Oh no!" the red head exclaimed, "That means all of Alexis's traps are useless!"
"Hey Jasmine, how about some encouragement because Alexis is getting caned by a Ra Yellow duelist." Mindy said, as the Mirage Dragon's attack hits Alexis, making the blonde scream as her life points decreased (ALP: 5200)-(ALP: 3600), "Oh don't think that I haven't forgotten about my Armed Dragon, attack with Dragon Sonic Spear!" Armed Dragon's right claw is brought in the air and a yellow ball of energy appears at it and throws it at Alexis, who was stumbling on her feet and the ball hits Alexis and explodes on impact. (ALP: 3600)-(ALP: 0800)
"No way," Chazz commented again, "Everytime this kid bites, Alexis tries to bite back and this kid is biting Alexis even harder. He's pushing her to a corner with these atrocious attacks and it's the second turn."
"Hey Alexis, stop playing with this punk!" Mindy suggested, "You're making us Obelisk look like a bunch of fools!"
Alexis shot a death glare at Mindy, after withstanding the attack from the Armed Dragon, "What the hell do you think I'm doing!" she seethed
Mindy blinked, "You mean that he's actually beating you."
"How could that be possible, sure he's the brother of an Obelisk but there's no way he could be that skilled!" Jasmine added
"Nice shot!" Keiko complemented, "I guess not all Obelisks are that skilled, huh?"
Jasmine glared at Keiko, "Shut it, Ra Rodent!" she snapped, "Alexis is just warming up that's all!"
Alexis was panting, 'Damn how could Yusuke being so good,' she thought, and looked at the life point meter of her duel disk, 'the duel has barely even started and he's already pushed me in a corner.'
Yusuke chuckled, which got Alexis's attention, "If are you going to stand there or are you going to make a move." He said, "You know at first I thought I was going to get some kind of a challenge from an Obelisk Blue student and so far, I'm getting pretty damn BORED!"
"What did he just say!" the Obelisk girls asked, glaring at Yusuke
"Whoa, I think that pushed one of Alexis's buttons," Chazz said
Alexis was getting angry with Yusuke's words, she never got insulted this much before, 'That's it,' she thought, 'This little smart mouthed punk is going down, big time!' "Watashi no turn, draw!" Alexis draws a card and looks at it, "Perfect, the card to make Yusuke eat those words about me 'getting him bored'." She muttered, with a grin, "Okay I'll activate Polymerization to fuse both Etoile Cyber and Blade Skater to summon……." A female monster that appeared looked like a mixture of Etoile Cyber and Blade Skater. She had long blue hair, pale skin, and a mixed red and purple jumpsuit. Like Blade Skater, she was wearing a pair of ice skates, although she didn't have arm blades. (ATK: 2100), "Meet……"
"Cyber Blader!" Yusuke interrupted
Alexis stumbled on her feet, in anime style, "How did you……."
"I also know about Cyber Blader's abilities, like when I have one monster she can't be destroyed in battle, when I have two monsters, her attack points doubles, and when I have three monsters, she negate the effects of monsters, spells or traps." Yusuke said, Blade Skater glowed red for several seconds and it's attack power skyrocketed. (ATK: 2100)-(ATK: 4200)
"So, you know about my monster's effect," Alexis started, "And you do know that she's going flatten that Armed Dragon with Whirlwind Rage!" Cyber Blader skated towards Yusuke's dragon and slices through the dragon, with her skates and destroying it.
"My dragon……" Yusuke (YLP: 7000)-(YLP: 5600) said, "Okay, now I'm pissed!" Yusuke yelled, "Ore no turn, draw!" he whips a card from his deck, "First, I'm gonna remove that facedown card with Stamping Destruction and you take damage for 500 points!"
Alexis's facedown card was destroyed and the blonde shields herself as her life points decreased (ALP: 0800)-(ALP: 0300), "Finally, I'll play a spell card known as Misfortunate, which means in laymen's term means it's your misfortunate because I get to chose one monster on your side of the field and you get inflicted damage equal to half of the attack of the monster that I chose."
"What! No way!" Alexis exclaims
"That would mean……" Jasmine started
"Alexis would lose the duel!" Mindy asked
"This is going to hurt real badly," Chazz said
"And since you have only one monster on your field, so I can only assume that you know what monster I'm choosing!" Yusuke smirked, "Your Cyber Blader! Now it's time to feel the attack of your own monster! Cyber Blader attack with Whirlwind Rage!" Yusuke declared as a shining green barrier appeared around him and before Alexis knew it, her Cyber Blader was rushing forward to attack the barrier and bounced off and lunged at the frightened Alexis and kicks Alexis's chin and the blonde gave a defeated cry as her life points hit zero and slams on the ground.
"Alexis!" the two Obelisk girls cried
"All right!" Keiko ran towards Yusuke
The Obelisk girls glared at Yusuke, "You know, using a girl's favorite monster against her is pretty low!" Mindy spat
The images disappeared and Yusuke's duel disk deactivated, "Well, that's for blackmailing us!" he spat, "And you better keep your end of the bargain and not tell anyone about our meeting!"
Alexis sat up and looked at Yusuke and nodded obediently, "Alright," Yusuke said, as he turned around, "Oh and if you want a rematch then wait until during the day!" Without a response, Yusuke and Keiko walked back and out of the Obelisk territory.
Unaware to the teens, a pair of gray eyes was watching the duel the entire time, "I don't believe it," Chazz said, just witnessing the duel, "That Ra just beat Alexis in a duel so easily. I'll deal with him later, but first on my ass kick list a certain brown haired Slifer Slacker named Jaden."
Alexis got on her feet, "Alexis, what happened out there?" Mindy asked, "That Ra beat you and look so easily."
"I know," Alexis seethed, 'I couldn't believe it myself either. Yusuke has proven to me that he didn't beat Professor Bamamiko on accident, now it's Jaden's turn to prove to me that he beating Dr. Crowler was with skill or an accident.'
