Chapter Eight.
Ryou Bakura stood in front of the class, not a hint of emotion on his face, he was attired in his usual clothing, a pair of tight leather pants, a blue and white striped shirt, and a light blue button up shirt covering it. As the bell rung, he walked right up to the chalkboard, writing something on it. "Deck Types class, that is what we will be discussing today. I know there is so many, so I will choose today's topic involving it. Fiends." Bakura said with a nod. "Now who can name a deck type or two that revolves around Fiends?" Bakura asked.
Mar raised his hand instantly. "Mar, what type?" Bakura asked.
"Demon Chess Set, also known as Archfiends." Mar said with a smirk.
"Can you name the Archfiends Mar?" Bakura asked.
"Terrorking Archfiend, Archfiend Solider, Vilepawn Archfiend, Darkbishop Archfiend, Shadowknight Archfiend, Desrook Archfiend, Infernal Archfiend, and...Skull Archfiend of Lightning." Mar said as a matter of factly.
"Incorrect." Bakura plainly said. "Can anyone tell me which ones he forgot?" Bakura asked, Cloe raising her hand. "Cloe." Bakura responded.
"The ones he forgot are considered Archfiends, they are: Axe of Despair, Black Skull Dragon, Beast of Talwar, Fiend Skull Dragon, Lesser Fiend, Shadow Tamer, Summoned Skull, and it's counterpart Toon Summoned Skull." Cloe said.
"Good. Now can anyone tell me the Archfiend support cards?" Bakura asked.
Raychel raised her hand. "Raychel." Bakura said.
"Pandemonium, Pandemonium Watchbear, Checkmate, Battle-Scarred, Falling Down, Archfiend's Oath, and...Archfiend's Roar." Raychel said confidently.
"Now can anyone tell me the main downfall of the Archfiend Deck?" Bakura asked.
"Lifepoint payment." Damaja said, not bothering to raise his hand.
"Correct, but remember this, if you wish to participate in my class, you will raise youe hand to be recongized. Understood Mr. Onalie?" Bakura spat. Damaja simply responded with a nod.
"Now can anyone else tell me another type of Fiend Deck, it's main cards, and it's support cards?" Bakura asked.
Peter raised his hand, looking foward. "Peter." Bakura said.
"Dark World, a personal favorite. Zure, Knight of the Dark World. Beiige, Vanguard of the Dark World. Broww, Hunstman of the Dark World. Brron, Mad King of the Dark World. Sillva, Warlord of the Dark World. Goldd, Wu-Lord of the Dark World. Scarr, Scout of the Dark World. It's support cards are as follows. Dark World Lightning, Gateway to the Dark World, and...The Forces of Darkness. The point of the deck is to discard and special summon." Peter said.
"Good." Bakura said. "Now can anyone tell me a card that fits in ANY type of Fiend deck?" Bakura asked. Alexis raised her hand. "Ms. Rhodes." Bakura said.
"Dark Necrofear." She said.
"And why is that?" Bakura asked.
"Because in order to Special Summon her, you need to remove three Fiend types from your Graveyard." She said.
"Good." Bakura said. "Now can anybody tell me the two Fiend monsters with the highest attack?" Bakura asked. Cloe raised her hand. "Cloe."
"Raviel, Lord of the Phantasms." Cloe said. "I'm not sure of the other, maybe Damaja would be more fit to answer it." Cloe said, stressing the last part.
"If Mr. Onalie would like to answer it, then he would raise his hand." Bakura said, Mar raising his hand. "Mar." Bakura said.
"One of the...Wicked Gods, Devil's Dreadroot." Mar said, looking directly at Damaja with a cold stare. At that time, Damaja got up from his seat, collecting his things, exiting the class. "Tempremental, isn't he?" Mar asked with a laugh, Peter, Cloe, and Raychel laughed.
"Enough. Class dismissed." Bakura said, the students exiting the class, except Peter, Cloe, Raychel, and Mar. They made their way up to the front of the class. "Peter, you challenge that Koala Chumley, Cloe you get Alexis, Raychel you get Syrus, and Mar...you get Damaja. But not yet. Wait 'till the time is right." Bakura said with a sinister chuckle.
"Yes Master." They all said in unison. The rest of them left the class, Mar stayed behind, not moving an inch.
"Master, I would like nothing more than to go out there right now and break my brother. Mind and Body." Mar said with venom in his voice.
"All in due time my good boy. For now, I have a special assignment for you. I would like you to go...confiscate the decks of..." Bakura said, pulling out a list. "Chazz Princeton, Jaden Yuki, and Zane Truesdale. They will prove to be the biggest threats in our operation. I want them disabled." Bakura said.
"What of..what's his name? Bastion Misawa?" Mar asked.
"I'll take care of that one personally. I need to have a little fun myself." Bakura said, motioning Mar to exit the room. He did. "Soon Damaja, nobody breaks my control. You'll be the last, boy. I promise you." Bakura said with a sinister smirk.
Standing outside, Damaja was pissed, kicking the concrete wall over and over again in anger. "Damn it. Controlling me wasn't enough was it? WAS IT BAKURA?" Damaja yelled out, seemingly to be alone. "But now you brought Cloe and Mar into this. You sick son of a bitch." Damaja said in pure anger.
"Now that's no way to talk to one of your teachers is it Damaja?" A sinister voice said from behind Damaja. Turning around, Damaja looked right into the eyes of Bakura. Instantly lunging foward, he swung his right arm around, punching him in the right side of the jaw, sending both men falling to the ground. All of a sudden, Two people came up behind Damaja, Peter and Raychel, pulling him off of Bakura, holding his arms. "Now I could have you expelled for that. But I'm not. I'm going to repay you." Bakura said, drawing his hand back, sending the backside of his right hand across the face of Damaja. "You insolent fool. You were one duel away from having total control of this school. BUT YOU SCREWED IT UP! Now we had to come here and clean up your mess. I don't like to compensate for other's mistakes Damaja." Bakura said, spitting some blood on the ground.
"You will not control me like you do the others. I will resist you and cut you off at every corner. Just wait." Damaja said.
"Dispose of him...but leave enough to get sent to the infirmiry." Bakura said, walking off. Next thing Damaja knew, everything went black.
"Who could've done this to him?" Alexis asked with tears in her eyes. In the room was Jaden, Syrus, Chumley and Bastion.
"For once...I can say I'm clueless." Bastion said, rubbing his chin. Bastion looked down at Damaja, his right eye swelled shut, cuts and bruises on his face, lower lip busted, right eyebrow swollen. "Ruthless." Bastion simply said.
Reaching down, Alexis gently stroked his right cheek, feeling the cuts on it. "I WANT TO KNOW WHO DID THIS!" Alexis yelled out, tears rolling down her face.Slowly rising to a sitting position, Damaja smiled as best as he possibly could, not very good.
"Wh..what's the big fuss about?" He softly said. Leaning foward, Alexis wrapped her arms around him, hugging him tightly. "Ahh, shit." Damaja said, leaning back, clutching at his sides.
"I'm sorry." Alexis said, whiping her eyes.
"No worries." Damaja said.
"Who did this to you man?" Jaden asked.
Damaja shook his head. "I..don't know." Damaja said, confused.
"Surely you saw who did it." Bastion asked. Damaja simply shaking his head. "I mean you..." Bastion was cut off.
"He doesn't know." Syrus said, looking at Bastion.
"I try to remember, but all I see is black. It's like..I forgot." Damaja said, sighing.
"Would Bastion Misawa please come to the Gym as soon as possible." A voice on the Public Announcment system said.
"Bakura." Damaja said, laying back down. Turning around, Damaja draped his legs over the edge of the bed, the others shaking their heads.
"Don't leave the bed Damaja. You're not completely healed yet." Alexis pleaded.
"I don't care. Whatever Bakura wants with Bastion, he's going to need support and back-up." Damaja said, rising out of the bed, grimicing, clutching at his sides.
"Please, stay in bed. We will go with him to make sure." Alexis once more pleaded. Damaja sat back down on the bed, laying in it. Alexis smiled, everyone following Bastion to the gym.
"I hope they know what they're getting into." Damaja said, closing his eyes, drifting to sleep.
As the group walked down the hall towards the gym, the lights in that current area went off, making it impossible to see.
"What happened?" Bastion asked.
"The lights went out." Alexis said. "We'll try to find out what happened, you go see what Bakura wanted, it's just straight down the hall." Alexis said.
Laying in the bed, Damaja felt a sharp pain in his head, sitting up instantly, groaning in pain. "No, it can't be. Alexis destroyed it." Damaja groaned, falling back in pain.
The painful cries of Bastion echoed throughout the entire island. The lights flickered back on, as Alexis and the rest ran to the gym only to see just Bakura standing there, the hologram of his Dark Necrofear fading away. "I'm afraid you just..missed your friend." Bakura said.
"Who was that screaming?" Alexis demanded to know, Bakura mearly shrugged his shoulders.
"Not a clue my dear." Bakura said, lowering his arm.
"You dueled Bastion?" Syrus asked. Bakura nodded.
"He is a formidible opponent...but he lost. After he did, he walked out. I don't know where he went. Should try to go find. We would'nt want people just...disapearing now would we?" Bakura asked with a sinister smile on his face.
"So the lights came back on after we clearly heard Bastion scream. And he wasn't there. It was like he just disapeared, because Bakura's Necrofear hadn't even faded away yet." Alexis explained, sitting on the edge of the bed, next to Damaja. "Bad things are happening." She said.
"They are. A little while ago, I had a pain in my head out of nowhere, did the nurse mention anything about head injuries?" Damaja asked, confused.
"No, not that I know of." Alexis said.
"Great job my puppets." Bakura said, looking down at three decks. "Not only did I dispose of..Bastion. But I possess the three decks that could pose a minisicule threat to my plans." Bakura said with a smirk.
"Thank you master." They all said, seemingly hyptonized.
"Now Cloe and Mar, remember. Once Damaja is fully eliminated you both will be able to live out the rest of your lives with yoru parents. The parents who, thanks to Damaja, are no longer around." Bakura said with a smirk. "So tommorow we will begin our plans. There's been a slight change of plans tho. You see I am no longer interested in the rest. Just Damaja and the one he cares about. Peter and Raychel, you two are no longer needed, thus being...expendable." Bakura said, pulling open a desk drawer, reaching in, grasping onto a golden rod, pulling it out, pointing it directly at Peter and Raychel, they cried out in dire pain, color instantly draining from their faces as they collapsed to the floor, lifeless. "Dispose of their bodies. And tommorow, Mar, you will duel Damaja, Cloe, Alexis. Understood?" Bakura said.
They simply nodded. "Yes master." They collected the bodies, dragging them from the room.
"Tommorow Damaja, you will see what it's like to cross me, boy." Bakura sat in his chair, sadisticly laughing.
