I don't own Yu-Gi-Oh GX!
(Okay, just a fair warning; I think I messed up this chapter big time. I had to make a lot of changes to this from the sport they were playing (by the way, I suck at waiting sport scenes) to the duel with Chrystal and Bastion. Let's just say I had to make up a lot of cards just to make this work. I decided to let Bastion use something else instead of his Water Dragon. If you see the opening to the show, you could see that Bastion has a Fire Dragon but they never used it in the anime which made a pissed off! Another thing that made me mad was that they made two amazing hot bada** in season three (I think most people know who I'm talking about) and they were only in three episodes or so! *hits head in the corner* Sorry, had to get it out. Well the only think I think I did right was the part when Crowler got hit in the face by the ball (love that scene by the way since it's freaking funny). Okay, sorry about this but I had it get it out. Anyway, enjoy and sorry about the wait!)
Chapter 10: Formula for Success
The day after the big Tag-Team duel between Jayla and Sylvie vs. Paradox Brothers turned out to be another normal day so far in gym class. In the girl's gym, we find the Slifer and Ra dorms playing against each other in one of the most favorite sports of all time, Basketball. All the girls were dressed in white and blue gym clothes but the Slifers wore red bandanas around their arms while the Ra's had yellow ones. The score was pretty close but the Ra's had taken the lead at the last second so the score was now 16-14. The clock was at 1:00 minutes left until the game was over. The Slifers needed a three point shot to win this game. On the field right now was none other than Jayla Yuki who was helping her team guard the basket since the Ra's had the ball at the moment.
"Come on, Jayla! Guard and steal! Guard and steal!" Sylvie coached her friend from the sidelines.
"Working on it, Sylvie!" Jayla called back with a groan. She really wished she could be dueling right now instead of playing this. Don't get her wrong, Jayla liked playing sports but Basketball wasn't really one of her favorites. Plus, she rather be in the boy's gym right now since they were playing Baseball which happened to be one of her favorites. Yeah, she was weird like that.
As one of the Ra girls was coming down the middle, a Slifer tried to block her but she wasn't quick enough. The Ra shot the ball at the basket. All the Red girls gasped since they thought it was going to make it in the hoop but luck must have been on the Slifers side since it rolled off the basket and over to Jayla. The top Slifer student caught the rebound and started heading on down to the Ra's side.
"Yes! Let's go Jayla! Let's go!" Sylvie cheered clapping her hands together to start a cheer which rest of the Slifer girls that were on the sidelines followed soon after.
"Let's go Jayla! Let's go!"
"Let's go Jayla! Let's go!"
"Let's go Jayla! Let's go!"
"When did you two get such a big fan club?" Sylvie stopped her cheering since she almost fell out of her seat when she heard someone else talking. She looked behind her at the bleachers to find Alex and Bastion setting there. Both of the males were dressed in the male white and blue gym clothes and Alex had on a blue bandana around his arm while Bastion had yellow.
"What are you two doing here? I thought you guys were in gym playing baseball?" Sylvie asked blinking a few times.
Alex pointed at Bastion. "Never play baseball against this guy." He answered.
"Our game was finished faster than we thought so we have some time to kill until gym over so we decided we're come over here to see what's happing so far." Bastion explained.
"Well the Ra's are in the lead by two points so we're going to need a three point shot to win this." Sylvie glanced over at the clock. It now read 10 seconds. "Jayla has the ball and she better hurry."
Why does time hate me so much?! Jayla wondered when she looked out the corner of her at the clock that was done to the last 5 seconds.
5-Jayla got to the three point spot.
4-She took a stance.
3-She shot the ball.
2-The basketball went flying through the air.
1-The basketball went right into the hoop.
0-The Slifer girls burst into cheers of victory as the score turned 16-17.
…..
"M.V.P. Jayla? And I thought the Gem Queen title was crazy." Jayla chuckled as she opened a bottle of water and started chugging it down in large gulps.
"Well you do happen to have the best luck with many things you do, Jay." Sylvie pointed out who was sitting next to her in the bleachers. The bluenette Slifer was just finishing telling her friend about what some of the other girls were talking about after she got the winning shot. Alex had left to go get changed while Bastion decided to stay a little bit longer to shot some baskets. He just said something about testing a new formula that neither Jayla nor Sylvie got.
Jayla shrugged at that as she finished the last bit of water. "Well how about we test this out then?" She picked up a basketball that was next to her and pointed at the hoop on the field. "If I can make this shot from right here then I'll believe you about this luck thing. Hey Bastion!" She called to the Yellow student who was shooting baskets on the field. "Heads up!" She shot the ball onto the field. It didn't even make it close to the basket but instead it was coming right at Bastion. The Ra noticed it and threw one of the basketballs he had at the one that was coming at him. It hit it at the right angle to make it fly the other way at…
While this was happing, Crowler was passing by the field, mumbling to himself on ways to get Jayla kicked out of the school. "The Paradox Brothers couldn't beat Jayla! Chrystal couldn't beat Jayla! I need someone who can beat…AAH!" The doctor got hit in the forehead by the basketball, knocking him right into gym equipment.
"That didn't sound pretty." Jayla said as she and Sylvie were running over to where the basketball went. They both stopped and freaked out when Crowler's head popped out of the pile.
"IT'S YOU! WELL UH COURSE?! WHO ELSE COULD CAUSE SUCH INTENSE PAIN?!" Crowler snapped. He had a giant black spot on his forehead from where the basketball hit him at.
"Oh…." Sylvie started having no words to say to this since she thought Crowler was going to turn into the hulk any second now.
"Nuts…" Jayla finished before she laughed a little, sheepishly. "Uh sorry…it was…"
"My fault!" Bastion called as he come running over to them. "I was the one that hit the ball."
"Of course," Crowler stood up with a smile, his mood completely changed after hearing that. "Here I was looking for a new accomplice and here it hits me right in the face! Well in the forehead but that's beside the point."
"Dr. Crowler, please accept my apologies." Bastion said bowing in respect to the somewhat injured teacher.
"No, no, no; it's fine. People get hit in the head all the time from basketballs." Crowler said nicely while he thought; and now I have a perfect new protégé.
"Huh?"
Crowler jumped since he forgotten about the two Slifers that were still there listening in on this. "DO YOU TWO MIND?" He yelled at the girls.
"Sorry again for that. See you later, Bastion!" Jayla called as she and Sylvie ran off to the girl's locker room to get changed.
"Never mind those two, Slifer Slackers." Crowler said turning back to face Bastion. "It's time you start associate yourself with someone that's in more of your class, don't you think? It's time you start associate…with me."
….
During another hour of the day, we find Chrystal leaning back in her chair with her arms stretched out from behind her. "Yo, foot rub and an ice tea, pronto." She ordered.
"Get it yourself." A random Obelisk Blue student replied back.
"What was that?" Chrystal asked sitting up to glare at a group of blue students.
"Doesn't she know?"
"Guess not;"
"Know what?" Chrystal questioned getting really annoyed by all of this.
"Chrystal, where do you think you're sitting?" Another random Obelisk asked walking up to her.
"My seat,"
"But that's not your seat anymore." The Blue informed her. "Now move!"
"What are you talking about?! Oh course this is my seat! It says so right here!" Chrystal pointed to where her name tag was on the deck but was shocked to see that it was gone. "What the heck?!"
"Sorry Chrystal, but you we're moved all the way over there." The Obelisk pointed towards the middle of the row where the Ra Yellows sat.
"No way, this is all wrong! I don't belong over there with those losers! Dr. Crowler, tell everyone here that this is one big mistake! Tell them that I belong up here!" She said to the doctor who was just now walking into class with the still large black spot on his head.
"But you don't and you haven't since you lost that one duel to…oh what was her name now?...oh yeah, Jayla Yuki! A Slifer! So that's why tomorrow, you'll duel Bastion Misawa and if you lose to him as well, then you two will switch dorms!" Crowler told the now shocked girl.
"You mean…I'd become a Ra Yellow duelist?!" Chrystal asked in disbelieve.
Crowler applauded in amusement. "Yes, very good; now if you could only duel as good as you listen…."
Chrystal growled at that from embarrassment when students started laughing at her. It was then the young Queenton girl fled the room yelling; "I WON'T BE A RA!"
…..
"Okay, maybe I don't have amazing luck after all." Jayla said sheepishly as she, Sylvie, and Bastion were all walking to the Ra Yellow dorm since Bastion wanted their help with something. Jayla didn't know the first thing about saying no so she agreed right away and Sylvie come along since Bastion was her friend and she felt like she owed him one for saving them from the wrath of Crowler.
"Almost hitting someone in the head with a basketball and having Crowler yell at you really isn't what I like to call good luck, Jay." Sylvie added before she looked over at Bastion. "By the way, how were you able to do that early? You know, how you were able to hit the ball just right to make it go flying off the other way?"
Bastion, who was walking back to his dorm while carrying a basketball he was playing with, showed it to them. "I play like I duel." He answered and on the basketball were formulas on it. "You see, I find that statistics, geometry and mathematics, we use all of them in our daily lives."
"I never looked at it that way." Jayla said in amazement.
"So do you have a formula for everything, Bastion?" Sylvie questioned.
Bastion chucked at that as he continued to lead the girl through the Yellow dorm. The inside of the Ra dorm looked like some kind of hotel that the rich would stay at. Bastion soon stopped when he got to his room and unlocked the door. "And here we are, ladies."
Jayla and Sylvie both gasped as they walked into the room. "And where's that?" They both asked. The room looked like a normal dorm room but the walls and ceiling were covered in formulas and equations.
"My lab, my workshop, my dorm room;" Bastion answered as he pointed at different areas where the formulas where written. "Over there is for traps, that's for spell card, and that's…well you get the idea. Most of these I already memoirist and as you can see, I'm running out of room. So…" He held up a mop and paint bucket. "Mind helping?"
It didn't take long to find the two girls painting the walls white while Bastion was working on clearing the floor.
"Hey check it out, I'm Michelangelo!" Jayla said with a laugh. She was standing on a step ladder, working on the ceiling. Sylvie and Bastion soon joined in on the laugher. "Get it? Because I'm painting on the ceilinnnnnngggg!" Jayla lose her footing on the ladder which made her drop her paint brush. The brush ended up flying right into Sylvie's face.
"You do realize…that this mean war, Jay." Sylvie told her friend, her face was covered in white paint.
"Now look, Sylvie. It was an accident!" Jayla told her but it was already too late since Sylvie had already picked up a bucket of paint and was getting ready to throw it.
"That's enough you two. Give me that…" Bastion scolded the two girls just as Sylvie threw the paint at Jayla. Jayla jumped out of the way at the last second and it ended up hitting Bastion instead. Jayla glanced at Bastion for a second before she burst into laughter. "Funny is it?" Bastion asked as he smacked Jayla's face with a paint rag. Jayla got mad in a joking kind of way as she grabbed the paint blush she dropped and smirked.
"I should tell you, Bastion. When you're fighting against a girl, guys never win." Jayla told him before she acted like her paint blush was a sword and tried to hit Bastion with it.
And that's how the Paint Wars began…until it ended because of lunch.
….
"I don't think I have ever had such a good time painting." Jayla commented as she was chowing down food from the Ra Yellow's cafeteria. "Hey, you're alright Bastion." She told the Ra who was fixing himself a small plate of food unlike Jayla and Sylvie who were both eating anything they could get their hands on.
"Yeah and so is Ra Yellow's food." Sylvie agreed.
"Oh, you flatter us," Bastion replied as he came over to seat across from the two girls at the lunch table. He had gotta himself a lobster dinner. "But I'm sure it's not all that much better than Slifer."
Jayla and Sylvie's eyes bugged out when they saw the lobster. "The best I could have back home was a full course dinner and that was only on my birthday. Plus trust me, the closest thing we have to fish is our dorm cat's breath." Jayla replied.
"Speaking of cat breath…"Sylvie looked up from the lobster and over to Bastion. "What were you talking with Crowler about back at gym class?"
"Actually, he wants me to test to be an Obelisk." Bastion answered.
"Are you serious?" Jayla asked surprised. "Is that why you were clearing your room? Because you were switching dorms?" Jayla smiled as she added. "You deserve it; congratulations Bastion."
"Again, you flatter me." Bastion said trying his best to endure the praise he was getting from this.
"Hey, I saw you duel at the entrance exam and you kicked that Duel Proctor's butt! You're totally going to pass Crowler's test and become an Obelisk Blue for sure, pal." Jayla added. "And we can say we knew you when."
"Well thank you;"
"You're welcome…now if you excuse me…" Jayla started digging into her meal again while Bastion watched with a sad smile.
…..
Sometime later at night, in the Obelisk Blue dorm, we find Chrystal in her room sitting in her chair talking to two people she would rather not be speaking to let alone be related to. She was speaking to her older sisters, Sade and Jaqueline, on a video screen communicator that was on her flat screen TV. The two older sisters looked just like Chrystal. They both had black hair and grey eyes but Sade had beauty marks on her face and was wearing a long black dress while Jaqueline looked like some kind of supermodel and she was wearing a long white dress.
"Got it, Chrystal?" Sade asked.
"Yeah," Chrystal mumbled.
"I can't hear you." Jaqueline pried.
"I said yes, I understand." Chrystal rolled her eyes. What she would give at times to be the oldest so she didn't have to deal with this. She would also give up half of her money just to find the person that called her sisters to tell them that her position among the elite was in jeopardy and kick their butt into next year.
"Well you have better." Sade threatened her. "The Queenton Sisters have a plan. Your sister and I are already following through with our ends of it."
"And you had better be following through with your end, Chrystal." Jaqueline added. "Come on, just think of it, little sis. The world of politics, finance, and Duel Monsters! If we can control them all, then we will control the world! So be the best!"
"The future of the Queenton family relies on you, Chrystal, don't mess this up." Sade said before she ended the conversation.
Chrystal just sat there for a few seconds as she took this all in. Be the best? How can I be the best? She sigh a little as she got up and walked over to the window. When there are lucky punks like those guys out there? She thought when she saw Jayla and Sylvie in the distance. Chrystal might have her pride and ego but even she could tell when someone was a good duelist even when she didn't want to believe it. Wait…what is this? She wondered when she noticed Bastion walking up to the girls before they all took down the path that led to the Slifer Red dorm. So Bastion is heading on over to the Slifer dorm for the night? Then his dorm room will be all empty. Chrystal gasped when she thought of something that maybe could save her from the wrath of her sisters but it wasn't a good one for Bastion.
….
"Sylvie?"
"Yeah Cheri?"
"Can you please tell me why I'm hearing snoring from two people now instead of just Jayla?!"
Sylvie looked under her bunk to see Jayla was fast asleep and snoring like crazy. "A Ra Yellow friend of ours just had his room painted so we're letting him stay the night at the Slifer dorm. We asked Banner and he said it was fine so his sleeping in a spare room that's under ours. I guess Bastion snores just as loud as Jayla…"
"But what if he wakes up…comes into our room…and starts to make fun of us…or worse….duel us…" Cheri asked cautioned. "Higher classmen can't be trusted…"
"Relax Cheri, his cool. I mean, he let us eat at the Ra Meal Hall." Sylvie told her.
"Oh…mind bringing me something back next time you guys go to Ra?"
…..
During the next morning, Cheri, Sylvie, and Jayla were all woken by the slamming of their front door. "Jayla! Jayla! Wake up!"
"Why is it always the morning?" Jayla groaned as she got up and opened the door but she was surprised to see it was Ms. Dorothy, the owner of the card shop. "What is it, Ms. Dorothy?"
"I was unloading some supplies from the docks when I saw them in the water…cards everywhere!" The three girls gasped at this. Jayla went to go wake up Bastion before they all took off to the pier.
Ms. Dorothy's claims were true since when the group of four got to the docks, they saw a bunch of cards were scattered among the water.
"That's Ring of Destruction." Jayla gasped.
"And Vorse Raider;" Sylvie added in just as much shock.
"Bastion, these are all of your cards." Jayla identified barely able to get those words out of her mouth. To her, cards were like family and seeing someone just take Bastion's card and throw them into the water like that made her sick. If anyone did that to her Gem-Knights then she would lose it.
"It's my own fault. This deck was in the desk I moved out to the hallway while we were painting yesterday." Bastion explained.
"Who would want to do something like this?" Sylvie wondered out loud.
"Someone who doesn't want Bastion to be promoted to Obelisk Blue, that's who." Jayla answered as she looked over at Bastion. "I mean, this was your deck and now it totally ruined! Oh man, what are you going to do now, Bastion? Your promotion exam is in less than an hour!"
Bastion just glanced at the river as he picked up one of his now ruined cards. "Leave it to me;"
…..
Bastion, who was accompanied by Jayla and Sylvie, came into the dueling arena where they find Crowler and Chrystal waiting.
"Oh Bastion, you made it." Crowler greeted the Ra but he soon frowned when he noticed the Slifers were with him. "And I see you brought some friends."
"I hope you duel better than the company you keep." Chrystal said with a smirk.
"Wait a second; Chrystal is your test opponent?" Jayla looked over at Bastion. "I'm not one for the blame game but she must have been the person that threw your cards into the ocean!"
"Pardon?" Crowler asked confused.
"I don't know what she's talking about, Dr. Crowler. I didn't do a thing." Chrystal objected.
"Oh is that so, princess?" Everyone turned at that to find Alex and Zane standing there. "I saw you, Chrystal, by the water. You dumped them in and ran off. Normally, I don't snitch but you don't mess with someone's deck." Alex crossed his arms over his chest after that. "Just when I thought you couldn't get any lower, princess."
"Yeah, cards are family, Chrystal. You can't just go around and drown family like that. Like Alex said, that's low even for you." Jayla agreed while frowning at her.
"Oh come on, who was it to say that I wasn't throwing away my own cards? I guess Bastion and I just have similar decks that's all." Chrystal replied with a flip of her hair.
"Yes because Bastion uses fiend plants. You're just lying through your teeth now, Chrystal." Jayla told her, still frowning.
"No one calls me a liar and nobody calls me a thief!" Chrystal exclaimed.
"Fine then, you're not. Let's just have our duel then, shall we?" Bastion asked.
"But how? Bastion, your deck is ruined!" Jayla pointed out.
"A good duelist always has a space deck on hand…or a few." Bastion unzipped his yellow jacket. "You guys saw all my different formula. Well…" He spread his jacket to reveal a vest with six card pouches on it. "They were all for my different dueling decks! And each one of them is as powerful as the last!"
Chrystal flinched at that since her plan was ruined. "Yeah well, you can keep your six worthless decks. Because all I need…" She took out her own deck and held it out to show them. "…is this one right here! Now let's start this!"
"I thought you would never ask, Chrystal." Bastion took out a deck that was in a pocket with the mark of fire on it and inserted it into his Duel Disk before he activated it. "You're just a problem needed to be solved, Chrystal, a theorem needed to be cracked!"
"Just bring it, you worthless loser."
(Chrystal: 4000 Bastion: 4000)
"I hope you're ready, Bastion, because here comes the hurt!" Chrystal drew as she started things off. "I'll summon Botanical Lion in attack mode!" The plant lion appeared on the field (Atk: 1600 Def: 2000). "Next I'll play one card face down and that'll do it for now."
"Oh will it now?" Bastion questioned.
"Sounds like Bastion got something up his sleeve." Jayla commented.
"He works quickly." Alex added a little bit impressed.
"I'm summoning Oxygenddon in attack mode!" A monster made of oxygen appeared in front of Bastion (Atk: 1800 Def: 800). "Now attack Botanical Lion with Vapor Steam!" The air monster breathed a clear air blast at the lion plant and destroyed it.
"Thanks for that, now I can play my face down, Rose Thorns! When a plant monster is destroyed on my side of the field and I take damage because of it then you'll take the same amount as I do!" Chrystal told him as they both lost life points to that attack.
(Chrystal: 3800 Bastion: 3800)
"Not bad," Zane commented.
"Bastion sure walked right into that one." Jayla added.
"And I'm not done yet, Chrystal. I'll play the spell card, Ddon Elements! Now I'm able to summon out my Heatddon in attack mode!" A baby T-Rex made of visible light appeared on the field (Atk: 1500 Def: 1200). "And my battle phase continues which means that now I can wage a direct attack on you, Chrystal! Heatddon, attack with Flare Light attack!"
Chrystal screamed as she was knocked to the ground a blast of hit from the monster.
(Chrystal: 2300 Bastion: 3800)
"You'll pay for that." Chrystal growled as she got up. "I'm going to start this turn off by playing Monster Reborn! With it, I can summon one monster back from my graveyard and since I only have one monster in there then I guess you already know who I'm bringing back…that's right, Botanical Lion!" A burst of lightning brought the plant lion back from the grave. "Next I'll play Infernal Reckless Summon! Now we must summon in attack mode all monsters from our hand, deck, or graveyard that matches the monster we currently have on the field." Two more Botanical Lion appeared on Chrystal's field while Bastion summoned another Oxygenddon.
"I don't get it. Why would Chrystal bring back a few monsters onto the field? Sure they can destroy Heatddon but they aren't a match for Bastion's Oxygenddon." Jayla wondered out loud from confusion.
"Yeah not by themselves but Chrystal isn't as stupid as she looks. Botanical Lion gains 300 attack points for each Plant-type monster that you control and since there are three of them…" Alex frowned as he watched as the lion plants got stronger.
Botanical Lions': (Atk: 2200 Def: 2000)
"Oh right my monsters; attack Bastion's monsters and destroy his life points!" Chrystal ordered before the three Botanical Lions attack and destroyed Bastion's beasts and left him defenseless.
(Chrystal: 2300 Bastion: 2000)
"Bastion's life points have gone down by more than half!" Sylvie gasped. "He has no monsters on his field and his losing the duel!"
"Now I'm going to sacrifice my three Botanical Lions to summon out my Fiend Rose Dragon in attack mode!" Chrystal's three lions were engulfed in a sphere before it disappeared and what appeared out of it was a giant dragon made up of black and purple vines (Atk: 3500 Def: 2600).
"That thing has 3500 attack points?!" Jayla gasped.
"You should feel lucky Bastion, Fiend Rose Dragon can't attack on the first turn it's summon but it can deal 1000 points of damage to you instead!" Chrystal laughed as a black vine come off of Fiend Rose Dragon and attacked Bastion.
(Chrystal: 2300 Bastion: 1000)
"You just got one turn left, Bastion, than my dragon will destroy you!" Chrystal told him with a smirk.
"I'm afraid there won't be a next turn." Bastion declared as he drew his card from his deck.
"What?"
"I'm first going to play Monster Reborn so come on back, Oxygenddon!" Bastion called as his air monster returned to the field. "Next I'm going to summon Fuelddon in attack mode!" A beast looking monster that was made up of fuel appeared on his field also (Atk: 1700 Def: 1200). "Now I'm going to active Fuelddon effect, when his summoned I can summon a Heatddon from my hand, deck, or graveyard so I'll think I'm going to summon back the one you destroyed early." The little light T-Rex reappeared. "Finally, I'm going to play the spell card, Chemistry of Fire! By sacrificing one Oxygenddon, Fuelddon, and Heatddon then I can summon my Fire Dragon!" The three monsters on Bastion's field combined together and they formed into a serpentine dragon made up of fire (Atk: 2800 Def: 2600).
"It doesn't matter what you summon, Bastion. My monster's attack points are still higher than yours." Chrystal said with a smirk.
"You better double check you work, Chrystal." Bastion warned her. "Because I've already done all the math!"
"Done all the math?" Crowler questioned. "Does that mean…?"
"Bastion had this planned from the very start?!" Jayla asked shocked.
The Fire Dragon created a giant wave of fire and it washed all over Fiend Rose Dragon, leaving the other dragon monster burned to pieces along with its power.
Fiend Rose Dragon: (Atk: 0 Def: 2600)
"What?! What happened to my dragon's attack points?!" Chrystal cried.
"That's Fire Dragon's special ability. If I just send my whole hand to the graveyard then all the monster's on your side of the field attack points automatically become 0. Now Fire Dragon, attack with Flare Blast attack!" Bastion ordered which then the dragon of fire attacked Crystal's own dragon with another blast of fire and destroyed it along with the last of Chrystal's life points.
(Chrystal: 0 Bastion: 1000)
"A well-played duel, Chrystal." Bastion said while Chrystal took the effects of the after burn of the attack. "But no well enough."
"Pure luck," Chrystal snared. "You drew a lucky card and stumbled into the win!"
"Perhaps but luck tends to favor the prepared; and I was prepared to defeat you with a half of a dozen other cards as well." Chrystal was about to say something to that but Bastion cut her off. "Sorry, but you would have lost the duel one way or another; but deny it if you want just like how you denied throwing my deck into the ocean."
"Yeah prove it." Chrystal challenged.
Bastion took out a card and showed it to her. "This was a card that I fished out of the water this morning that has a formula I wrote on it. "I suppose you could've written it but then the math would've been wrong and it's not." He sighed. "Chrystal, you stole, cheated, lied, and you lost. You deserved to be demoted."
Chrystal looked at the ground before she screamed in fury. "This can't be!"
"Bastion Misawa," Dr. Crowler walked up to him. "Congratulations and welcome to Obelisk Blue."
"No, I can't accept that invitation."
"What?! But why?"
"When I first entered the school, I made a promise to myself that I would only enter Obelisk Blue when I become the number one student in the freshman class." Bastion then turned to look at Jayla. "Jayla, out of all the freshman students, I think the number one student is you."
"Really?" Jayla smirked at that. "Does that mean you want to settle this right here right now because watching you duel like that has really fired me up. Get it, since he used a Fire Dragon?" She chuckled at her own joke.
"Sorry, but not now."
Jayla blinked at that. "Uh why not?"
"Because I have a lot of work to do before I can duel you, many formulas to write, theorems to solve, equations to bounce. You're a good duelist, Jayla, and I plan to be ready since I still don't know all that you still have hidden in that one of a kind deck of yours." Bastion explained.
"Smart move," Jayla grinned.
"He didn't have to prepare for me." Chrystal growled at that. "What the heck?!"
"Don't worry, Jayla, soon my dorm room walls will be filled with new problems and formulas and we will have our duel. Just be prepared for it…like I was when I knocked that ball out of the way that you almost hit me with."
Jayla laughed a little at that. "That wasn't my fault. Besides, I'm way better at dueling since it's my life. Until then, pal."
"Until then," Bastion agreed.
