I don't own Yu-Gi-Oh GX!
(Yay! I got another chapter done! And we didn't have to wait for another month to past to do so! XD But really, I hope you guys like this chapter since I had fun writing it. Okay sure, I didn't change Chumley's duel with his dad that much but hey, for the people that are loving Titaniumshipping at the moment will love the beginning of this chapter, hopefully, so I hope that makes up for it. Also, I have a question for all of you amazing people. When I feel like writing another fanmade chapter (which might be a while after the hell I went through from the last chapter) and base it around a character; I want to know who you guys want to have the spotlight in it and what kind of futures duels you want. So just tell me in the reviews and that will be great! Now time for the father VS. son duel! Read, Review, and Enjoy!)
During the middle of the night where the fog was so thick you could cut it with a knife, two people in a small little row boat were coming over to the island. The first person was the rower and the second person was sitting down with his arms crossed over his chest. The man looked a lot like a certain koala looking Slifer.
"Put your back into it." The man told the rower. "I want to reach Academy Island by daybreak." When the rower just replied with a "yes sir"; the man continued talking. "I won't have my son spending any more days slacking off at that school. It's time for Chumley to come home."
…..
The next morning, the waves of the ocean splashed against the rocky cliffs of the island as everyone's favorite Slifer, Jaden Yuki, was just lying down with his arms behind his head under the shade of a tree. "This is the life." He said to himself with his normal grin on his face with his eyes closed. "Green grass, some warm sunshine, and my own private…."
"I'm still here, Jay;" Jaden grinned widen at that as he opened one of his eyes to see Kia was sitting next to him with her back leaned up against the tree. "And I thought you didn't like the sunshine?"
"I don't hate it like Haou does. I just like the darkness better." Jaden answered as he opened both eyes to look at her. "What about you? Darkness or Light?"
"Dark Side idiot; is that even a question?" Jaden chuckled at that as Kia raised a fist. "Dark Side partners in crime for life?" She asked and Jaden smirked at that as he bumped fists with her in agreement.
"Well I guess it's your turn now, isn't it?" Jaden asked referring to their game of 20 questions that they were playing for a while now. Kia came up with the idea after she showed Jaden to her little hideout on the cliffs since if they were going to be 'partners in the Dark Side' as Kia said, then they should learn a few more things about each other. Thinking it would be fun, Jaden agreed to it.
So after a while of playing their little game, Jaden learned that Kia could also speak Arabic and British sign language, which she agreed to teach Jaden later so they could talk in the middle of class when they were bored out of their minds, while she leaned that Jaden could speak a little bit of Japanese and Egyptian, things that he leaned from his past life that always came in handy. They both loved the darkness and not just because of their Dark Side joke which secretly made Jaden super happy on the inside since she didn't think it was evil. Kia gave him a weird look when he asked her that one which led to their last question. Jaden also found out that Kia had a bit of a fear of insects because of something that happened to her when she was little. Jaden didn't question her on that one since she didn't question him when he told her that he was afraid to hurt the people that were closest to him.
"Okay this might be a random question to ask but why does Haou call you Judai at times?" Kia asked which made Jaden blink a few times before a small smile formed on his face.
"Because Judai my real name." He answered. "It mean teenager but it can also mean separation." He shook his head at the irony of it.
"Separation teenager?" Jaden grinned while Kia had to laugh from it. "No wonder why you go by the name of Jaden. Plus, it's easier to say. So tell me, Jay, what does Jaden mean then?"
"Gift from god," Kia blinked at that while Jaden grinned sheepishly as he rubbed the back of his head. "At least that's what Haou told me when I asked him. He gave me the nickname after all. Though he does call me by my real name when his angry at me or for some other reason." He shrugged.
"Wow that's pretty deep." Kia said before she sighed. "Well since we're being honest here….Kia not my real name either…."
"It's not?" That one actually took Jaden by surprised as he raised himself up on his elbows to look at her.
"Nope…my real name is Hope…I just like to be called Kia since Hope sounds to girly." Kia answered before she suddenly looked over at Jaden when a small laugh escaped him. "What's so funny?"
"Nothing; I see why you would do that since your you and you hate many girly things but I just don't see why you would want to change your name. Hope is a beautiful name and you should feel honored to have it as your own." Jaden answered with a smile of honestly which made Kia's face turn red from blushing, being embarrassed, or from anger. Jaden didn't know which as soon as he noticed that and he started to panic. "Well I mean…there's nothing wrong with Kia…I'm just…." Jaden bit his tongue to make himself stop talking.
Lucky, someone up there decided to save Jaden from this awkward moment from what happened next.
"Jaden!" The Gentle Darkness ruler and Kia both looked over at that as they noticed Syrus was running up the little hill towards them.
"I'm starting to think I should put up a private hangout sign in front of this cliff." Kia mumbled making Jaden chuckle a little as Syrus came to stand in front of them.
"Jaden, you have got to come quick. Something terrible has happened." Syrus began making Jaden sit up to show he had his full attention.
"Let me guess; you failed your exam didn't you?" Jaden guessed since that was what Syrus always meant by terrible. That or he was challenge to a duel but after his match with Elanor, Syrus was starting to get over that problem of his.
"Actually, I got a B on it."
"Then what's the problem, Syrus?" Kia asked looking up at the small bluenette with an eyebrow raised.
"The problem is Chumley! His dad just showed up!"
Like Kia, Jaden raised an eyebrow at this since he didn't understand what the big problem was. "So what? Is it parent visit already?" He asked since he didn't pay much attention to things like that. He and Haou haven't seen their parents since when they were little when they left them on the streets after they thought they were devil children because of their powers. Now did that mean Jaden thought every parent was like that? Uh course not but it still didn't make him hate his own parents any less. So Jaden looked over at Kia to see what she thought but when he noticed the gazed looked in her eyes like she was thinking back to something painfully, he asked. "Hey Kia, are you okay?"
Kia snapped out of her thoughts and looked at him. "I'm sorry, is it Taco Tuesday again?" She asked sheepishly.
"Sorry it's not but really; are you okay?" Jaden questioned with a worried look on his face.
Kai smiled. "I'm fine, Jay." She said but Jaden could already tell she was lying. Let's just say a power he gained after fusing with Yubel was sensing people's thoughts and emotions and whatever she was just thinking, it wasn't pretty. Still Jaden wasn't going to question her since they already had one awkward moment today and he didn't want her to ask anything that could make him reveal his powers to her. "So anyway, what's so bad about Chumley's dad showing up, Sy?" Kia answered making Jaden turn his attention back to the other Slifer.
"The bad thing is that he came here to force Chumley to drop out!" Syrus exclaimed making Jaden and Kia's eyes widen.
"Drop out?! No way, not our buddy." Jaden said in shock as Kia quickly jumped to her feet after hearing that.
"Come on, men; let's go see if we can do anything to stop this." Kia told the boys which neither one of them objected to.
….
It didn't take the group of three long to get back to the Slifer dorm but when they got there; they were surprised to see that Banner's doorway was crowded by red students. Jaden, Syrus, and Kia pushed their way through the crowd before they were the ones to be standing right next to the doorway so they could listen in and see what was happening inside.
Inside the room, Banner and who looked to be an older, and less heavy, version of Chumley who was also built to the max talking about things before the man burst into laughter.
"No way, that's his dad?" Jaden wondered out loud.
"He looks like a body builder huh?" Syrus added. "Though I bet carrying around Chumley as a kid, you kinda have to be."
"Are we sure he's just not on steroids?" Kia questioned.
"I mean don't get me wrong. If Chumley was any good at dueling then that would be one thing." Mr. Huffington told Banner; both of them were sitting on the ground with a small little food table in front of them. "But clearly, he's not; he's wasting his time here. It's time for him to give up dueling and come back home."
"I see your point. Chumley is a bit…" Banner laughed nervously.
"He's a bit dents; you can say it. That's way I want him to come home and join the family business. The hot sauce business; you do like hot sauce, right?" Mr. Huffington questioned.
"Yes, I love it. I can't get enough of it."
"Got that loud and clear." Mr. Huffington took out a giant bottle of hot sauce, where he got it was unknown, and placed it on the small table. "Free sample!"
"Oh no, I really couldn't." Banner replied trying his best not to sound rude.
"Oh yes you could. Come on; just think of it as a good bye gift from Chumley and me." Mr. Huffington insisted.
"So he's really leaving?" Syrus asked looking up at Jaden.
"I think so, Sy." Kia mumbled as she shook her head in defeat.
"No, not if we can help it." Jaden reassured his two friends. "Let's see if we can go talk some sense into Chumley." After he said that, the two Slifers, plus one, took off to their room but as soon as Jaden opened the door, they all were shocked to see their oldest roommate was already packing.
"Chumley?!" Jaden said in disbelieve as he ran over and so did Syrus to stand behind their maybe leaving friend. "Hey, what are you doing Chumley?"
"What does it look like?" Chumley answered back as he continued to pack clothes in a small blue and white backpack.
"Well it looks like your giving up without a fight but who am I to judge on this family matter?" Kia said from the doorway as she got ready to take off her baseball cap. If she had to, she would smack him upside the head with it to get some brain cells working again.
Jaden nodded in agreement. "Yeah, it's like you're taking everything you worked for and throwing it away." Truth be told, Jaden really couldn't believe what he was seeing right now. First it was Syrus who wanted to leave because of Zane and now here was Chumley about to leave because of his dad. Who was next? Kia? Jaden looked over at the said blond hair tomboy and he could feel his face heat up from remembering their little awkward moment before all this craziness when down. Still he pushed that memory to the side and turned back towards Chumley. "You're abandoning all your dreams. All your dueling goals…" Jaden finally had it since Chumley still hadn't turned around to look at either one of them yet. "…and you don't even care?!" He grabbed Chumley's shoulder and forced the larger boy to turn around but Jaden was taken by surprise when he saw that Chumley was crying his eyes out. "Uh Chumley?" Jaden let go of his shoulder to stare at him.
"He does care;" Syrus claimed also staring at him while Kia slowly let go of her cap, acting like she was never going to take it off in the first place as she also stared at the older boy.
"No, I got something in my eye okay? Both of them;" Chumley lied; the tears running down his face weren't even close to stopping. "Just leave me alone, okay." He then ran his arm across his face to stop crying but since that wasn't working; he just closed his eyes instead. "It's not like I'm worth wasting your time on anyway. At least according to my dad;" Chumley reopened his eyes. "But he doesn't know that I could be a champion duelist since I have a special power that I never told anybody. Sometimes duel monsters talk to me."
"You too?" Jaden and Kia said at the same time before they both looked at each other and then quickly away with mad blushes on their faces while Syrus and Chumley just stared at them in confusion. "So….uh… did you tell your dad about this, Chumley?" Jaden asked trying to play it cool.
"Uh course not! Everything to him is just hot sauce, hot sauce, hot sauce!" Chumley cried.
Jaden growled at that under his breath before he grabbed Chumley's shoulder again and pulled him to his feet. "Come on then; if you don't want to leave then I'm making sure you don't."
"Oh boy…this isn't going to end well…" Kia mumbled.
…..
A few minutes later, Jaden and the gang were in the Chancellor's office. Chumley's dad and Banner were also there to hear things out from the demon fused Gentle Darkness ruler.
"So there you have it." Jaden just finished up telling the reasons why Chumley shouldn't leave the island. "Chumley can't be allowed to drop out. He's got a gift."
"Oh sure," Mr. Huffington mumbled with his arms crossed over his chest. "A gift for eating grilled cheese."
Chumley flinched away at that which made Jaden look over at the 'father of the year'. "I know Chumley; I'm his roommate and not just that. We're also really close friends."
"Yeah me too;" Syrus added with a nod. "What Jaden said;"
"I'm just a friend of your son here but I agree with Jaden. He shouldn't be allowed to drop out because you say so. Can't he have a choice in this matter too?" Kia questioned with a look on her face that dared him to answer her.
"Look everyone, I respect you for sticking up for your friend here but I'm afraid that this is a personal matter." Sheppard lowered his head at that. "It's none of your business."
Mr. Huffington grinned at that as he looked at the four students. "That's right, its family business."
"Well sorry if I don't know what family business is, sir. My twin brother is a jerk all the time and my parents…well let's just say we're not on the best of terms…" Jaden mumbled at the end, getting him a glance from Kia, before he continued. "But isn't there anything that would make you let Chumley stay?"
"Well I say we solve this problem with a duel." Mr. Huffington said which made Chumley's eyes widen. "That's right, father vs. son and if you have this special gift your friends say you do, you should beat me easy and if you do win, I let you stay at the Academy. But if you lose, then you come home."
Jaden, Syrus, and Kia all looked at Chumley after hearing that. Chumley looked worried at first but soon he got this determined look on his face. "It's a deal." He agreed.
"Good then let's duel first thing tomorrow morning. How does that sound, Chancellor?"
"So be it," Sheppard agreed with a nod. "Tomorrow morning, it will be decided if Chumley will stay or leave."
….
"See guys, why did I tell you?" Jaden said grinning with his arms behind his head as he, Syrus, Chumley, Kia, and Banner were all heading out of the school building. Chumley was walking next to Jaden on his right side and he had a cross between an angry and determined look on his face. "It was a piece of cake to convince Chumley's dad to let him stay at the Academy."
"Jaden, we just convinced him to a duel." Syrus corrected him with a frown. "Chumley still has to win if he's going to stay."
"Yeah but come on, Chumley's dad doesn't know how to duel. I'm going to say it again; this is going to be a piece of cake." Jaden grinned.
"I rather have cookies then cake, Jaden; speaking of which, Dark Side cookies on me when you destroy your old man, Chumley!" Kia smirked making Jaden grin widen as they fist bumped.
Banner stopped at that and coughed to get their attention. "Uh Jaden, Kia, Chumley's dad been the state champion for three years in a roll."
Everyone stopped walking at that. "Say what now?" Jaden asked looking at their Professor while Kia facepalmed since she knew this was too good to be true.
"Why do you think Chumley's dad wanted him to go to dueling school in the first place? He wanted his son to be just like him. Oh and wait until you see his deck." Banner explained. Jaden and Syrus could only stare in awe while Kia facepalmed herself in the face again as Banner continued. "As you all know, he makes his living off of selling his hot sauce. Well his deck is pretty much the kick of his sauce. It can take you out in one turn like a buffalo wing can take you out in one bite...or the morning after."
Both boys' faces turned to shock. "So Chumley accepted knowing all of that?" Jaden said mind blown as he and Syrus looked over at Chumley. The said Slifer still had that look on his face that made Jaden smile. "Wow Chumley, you must really want to stay!" He grinned as she grabbed Syrus and pulled him over to Chumley so all three of them could get in a group hug.
"Well I feel loved now, Jaden." Kia mumbled sarcastically which got her a grin from the said boy as he pulled her over to join in their little 'no homo' hug.
…..
Later that night in the Slifer Red dorm, Mr. Huffington and Banner were back in his room having a late night dinner. Mr. Huffington was trying to force Banner to have some more hot sauce with his food and since Banner really couldn't say no to this guy, he just nodded along with it. Pharaoh was also with the two males and he was drinking a bowl of you guessed it; hot sauce. After a while, Mr. Huffington had to leave since he had to find a little boy's room but he stopped outside the door when he heard his son's roommates talking about his deck.
"What's with Chumley's cards?" Jaden questioned looking through his friend's deck that was laid out on the ground in front of all of them. The three boys, minus Kia because of the dorm rule thing, were all sitting on the floor in their dorm while in a circle around the cards. "They're all koalas?"
"Yeah because koalas are my favorite duh;" Chumley replied like it already wasn't obvious enough.
"Now don't get me wrong, Chumley. Koalas are cool…but can you win with them?" Jaden questioned. He wasn't implying that his friend should change his whole deck around but Jaden was just wondering if he should change or add a few things to it.
Syrus stood up at that as he took out a card from his pocket and handed it to Chumley. It was a monster card with a picture of a green kangaroo with red boxing gloves. "Here this might help; I got it a while ago but I never used it. Maybe you can."
"Wow Syrus really?" Chumley asked not knowing what else to say from this.
"Yeah, if you join it with one of your koalas then you'll have yourself a deck from down under." Syrus said with a smile.
Chumley looked ready to burst into tears of happiness from that as he took the card from him.
Jaden stood up as well. "Oh, I almost forgot that I got something for you too! It could really come in handy!" He chimed in as he went over to his bed. Chumley blinked at that.
Back outside the dorm, Mr. Huffington, who heard everything the boys said and did just to help his son win impressed him but it didn't show on his face as he walked away.
…..
The next morning, Jaden, Syrus, Chumley, Kia, Banner, and Mr. Huffington were all in some kind of dojo arena. When the heck was the school board able to put in a dojo is anyone's guess. Everyone was barefoot because of the rules and Chumley and his dad were on either side of the arena. Banner was standing up to be the judge and Jaden, Syrus, and Kia were sitting next to him, Indian style, to watch this duel take place.
"Oh right; Chumley, Mr. Huffington, you both know what the stakes are for this duel. If Chumley wins, he gets to stay at school. However, if he loses, he has to go back home." Banner explained the conditions once more.
"That right or my hot sauce won't chap your lips!" Mr. Huffington broke in.
"Can this guy's hot sauce ego get any bigger?" Kia mumbled under her breath in annoyance.
Banner nodded to what Mr. Huffington said before he looked over at Chumley. "Chumley, are you sure you're up for this? Can you handle going to war against your own father?"
"I can handle anything that he throws at me right now!" Chumley beamed, his look of determination wasn't leaving anytime soon.
"Fine then so without further ado, let's began with the duel!" Banner declared.
(Chumley: 4000 Mr. Huffington: 4000)
"Well here I come, dad!" Chumley exclaimed as he took the first turn and drew and smiled at what he got. "First, I summon out my Des Koala in attack mode!" A grey-red fur koala with a white underbelly with leafs in its mouth and a pouch with leafs in it also appeared on the field with a roar (Atk: 1100 Def: 1800).
"In attack mode?!" Mr. Huffington burst out in disbelieve. "You're first supposed to place him into defense mode and then flip him into attack mode since Des Koala's flip effect makes your opponent lose 400 life points for each card in their hand!"
"Duh…I knew that…" Chumley mumbled before he sighed and lowered his head in shame. "At least now I do..."
"Now is too late! You should have taken your studies a little bit more seriously! Maybe now you'll learn!" Mr. Huffington drew his card as he started his turn and he grinned at what he got.
Jaden and Syrus both looked worried at that as Banner turned to face the two Slifers. "Watch closely, children. You may learn something from this match."
"Seeing how he's the state champ, I don't doubt it. I just hope it's not the one turn finish that he's known for." Jaden murmured with his arms crossed over his chest which made Syrus even more worried as he glanced over at Mr. Huffington.
"Have a little hope, Jaden." Kia told him making the said Slifer look at her. However, before he could say anything, Kia added. "Don't say anything." She warned him making Jaden shut his mouth as he turned back towards to the duel.
"Ready son? Because here I come!" Mr. Huffington yelled as he summoned out his monster that turned out to be a bright yellow tiger with sunglasses and was carrying a hot sauce bottle. "I summon out my Dizzy Tiger in attack mode!" Right after it was summoned, the tiger started to move around like it was drunk (Atk: 1800 Def: 600).
"A….dizzy….tiger?" Chumley questioned really confused on his dad's move.
Jaden, Syrus, and Kia looked just as confused. "Uh, I'm afraid to ask but why is it dizzy?" Syrus asked nervously.
"It looks like too much hot sauce." Jaden guessed. "But that doesn't mean that beast doesn't have any fight left in it."
"It kinda just looks drunk as heck to me." Kia pointed out. "Note to self, never eat anything with hot sauce ever again…"
"Dizzy Tiger attack Des Koala now!" Mr. Huffington ordered his beast which then the drunk looking tiger threw a what looked to be a not so strong punch but it still destroy the koala and some of Chumley's life points.
(Chumley: 3300 Mr. Huffington: 4000)
"Oh boy, that stinks." Jaden said covering his nose with his arm since the attack left a hot sauce smell in the air. It also didn't help since his five senses were more improved then a normal human's.
"Yeah, that's hot sauce for you." Syrus agreed who also had his nose covered.
"I said it once and I say it again; I'm never having hot sauce ever again because of this guy." Kia said covering her nose too.
Mr. Huffington laughed as his tiger continued to move around, drunkly. "At this rate, we're be home before you know it and in time for dinner too which will be hot sauce if I may add."
"I can tell you what you can do with your hot sauce!..." Chumley snapped and he looked ready to add more if Jaden didn't say something.
"Hey, just keep your cool, Chum." Jaden broke in.
"It's nice that he's still standing up to his dad though." Syrus pointed out but when Mr. Huffington glanced at him, Syrus hid behind Jaden like normal.
"Chumley, you have got to start fighting back." Kia told the koala boy.
"I know," Chumley drew his next card before he looked at the rest of his hand as a plan formed in his head. "Yeah this might just work. Okay I'm going to play the spell card, Double Summon! With this, I can conduct 2 Normal Summons this turn instead of one so I'm going to summon out my Sea Koala and Tree Otter; both in attack mode!"
Two new monsters appeared on Chumley's field. The first one looked like a cross between a koala and a sea otter with light brown fur and a pale brown underbelly (Atk: 100 Def: 1600). The second monster was a tree otter just like it name said but it kinda looked like a koala in some way. It had grey fur with a white bully and paws (Atk: 1200 Def: 100).
"Two new monsters and you still couldn't summon one out that's strong enough?" Mr. Huffington questioned.
"He's right, what was Chumley thinking?" Syrus wondered.
"He was thinking smart." Kia told him as a smirk started to form on her face, confusing Syrus.
"I actived the effect of my Sea Koala! When he's on the field with another beast type monster, I can reduce the attack of one of your monsters to zero, dad!" Chumley exclaimed as Dizzy Tiger's Atk points dropped down big time (Atk: 1800-0 Def: 600)
"Now I add in Tree Otter's effect! When he's on the field with another beast type monster, he can give one of my monster 1000 more Atk points!" Chumley added as Sea Koala's attack points went up (Atk: 100-1100 Def: 1600).
"Not bad," Mr. Huffington said with a nervously sweat running down his face.
"Duh, not bad;" Chumley remarked before his Sea Koala destroyed Dizzy Tiger by slamming it to the ground with its tail before Tree Otter attacked Mr. Huffington directly with its claws.
(Chumley: 3300 Mr. Huffington: 1700)
"Wow talk about a comeback." Syrus mused in awe.
"And I don't think Chumley's finish just yet." Jaden added with a grin.
"I now play my Quick Summon spell card. With this, I can normal summon once more!" Chumley continued as he played the Quick Play Spell Card.
Jaden raised an eyebrow at this. "I don't remember seeing that in Chumley's deck."
Kia chuckled at that, making Jaden and Syrus glance over at her. "That's because I gave it to him before this duel started. It was the least that I could do."
"Wow your good." Jaden said impressed making Kia grin.
"And now, I give up my Sea Koala and Tree Otter to summon out Big Koala to the field in attack mode!" The two little beast monsters were destroyed before a giant blue version of Des Koala appeared on the field (Atk: 2700 Def: 2000).
"2700 Atk points! If Chumley attack now, he'll win!" Kia cheered.
"I…end my turn…" Chumley finished making Kia fall onto her back, anime style.
"Chumley?! What do you think you're doing?! You could have beaten him!" Kia questioned in disbelieve at what she just saw.
"No I couldn't. It was my Main Phase 2."
"You can activate Quick Play Spells during your Battle Phase too!"
"Oh…I can?"
Again, Kia fell onto her back, anime style, and this time, she didn't bother sitting back up.
"I think Chumley broke Kia." Syrus stated as him and Jaden were staring at Kia who looked like she was trying not to have a freaking breakdown.
"Yeah I think he did." Jaden agreed before he turned to look back at the field. "But Kia's right; Chumley could have won just then. I just hope this didn't cost him big time."
"You should have just listened to the girl and finished me off when you had the chance. Oh well, you're lose is my gain." Mr. Huffington narrowed his eyes as he made his move. "I summon out my Dizzy Angel in attack mode!" A blond angel with a black hat and wings appeared on the field and like Dizzy Tiger; it was carrying a hot sauce bottle and moved drunkly as well (Atk: 1800 Def: 600).
"I guess he had his fair share of hot sauce too since he can barely stand up." Chumley mumbled before he got this weird look on his face. I'm starting to hear those weird monster voices again…
Unknown to Chumley, Red and Green Duston had appeared and were poking Kia with a stick to make sure she was okay, arguing with each other about if this was working or not.
"And now, I activated the Spell Card, Hot Sauce Bottle!" A red hot sauce bottle appeared in front of Dizzy Angel which made the monster's eyes bug out. "I also actived the spell card, Flipping the Table!"
Chumley was taken by surprise when a huge table appeared under their feet and was rising up off the ground. But what freaked him out the most was that his dad was able to throw the table into the air, making Chumley scream as he was falling to the ground but somehow ending up landing on his feet. His Big Koala, however, ended up being destroyed when it hit the ground.
Mr. Huffington laughed. "What a card, it destroys everything that's on my field, everything but itself that is. And then the same amount of cards on your field are also destroyed. Now you have nothing left to protect you and your life points."
"That must be his special OTK attack." Syrus guessed.
"Yeah and I don't think I like it." Jaden frowned as he continued. "It totally reset the field! It's hardly any fair!"
"Just be glad that you're not facing against it." Yubel said appearing behind Jaden to watch this duel.
"That's just like you. You don't like something then you trash it!" Chumley revealed with a look of annoyance on his face from his father's actions.
His dad, however, just laughed once more. "I didn't get to be a hot sauce business owner by being nice, Chumley."
Chumley looked ready to make a smart remark at that but he stopped himself when he noticed that his father's drunken angel was still on the field. "Hey, what gives?! Why is Dizzy Angel back?! Wasn't he destroyed by Flipping the Table?!"
"Wishful thinking but you'll see; Dizzy Angel can't be destroyed by the effects of Flipping the Table."
"Okay what kind of bull crap is that?" Kia mumbled as she finally sat up with her two Dustons sitting on her shoulders with Red still holding his poking stick.
"Well you're looking better." Jaden said sheepishly making Kia glare at him and Jaden took the hint and shut up. He knew that Kia could have mentally breakdowns and then turn into what Jaden liked to call 'Kia Rage Mode' just when someone made a simple but at the same time, big mistakes like that. But Jaden could understand her anger since Chumley could have ended this duel a long time ago if he just knew how to play a Quick Play spell right.
"Also one more thing, Chumley;" Mr. Huffington said as he sent a card to his graveyard. "When my Hot Sauce Bottle is destroyed, you loss 500 points of damage!"
Chumley covered his nose as the smell of hot sauce filled the air again. "I can deal with the damage but does it have to sink too?"
(Chumley: 2800 Mr. Huffington: 1700)
"But I'm not done yet! Dizzy Angel, attack Chumley direct!" Dizzy Angel opened it bottle of hot sauce and shot out a beam of it at Chumley, making the Slifer groan in pain.
(Chumley: 1000 Mr. Huffington: 1700)
"Don't worry, Chumley, this will be over soon. Now make your move!" Mr. Huffington exclaimed as he ended his turn with a face down.
"But make sure you think it through, Chumley." Banner told him as he petted Pharaoh who was lying in his lap. "Or else you're going back home to bottle hot sauce."
"Duh, I know." Chumley mumbled as he drew his next card. "I play my Pot of Greed which lets me draw two more cards." He drew them and one of them turned out to be the card that Syrus gave him. Well I guess this is as good as a time as any to play this card. He thought. "First, I play the Spell Card, Silent Doom! With it, I'm allowed to summon one monster back to my field from my graveyard and I pick my Big Koala in defense mode!" The giant blue koala reappeared.
He won't kick me out without a fight. Chumley thought with a grin. "Next, I active Polymerization!" His dad narrowed his eyes at that. "I fuse Big Koala with the Des Kangaroo that's in my hand to create the Master of Oz!" The two monsters jump into the air and fuse together to form another giant green koala with red boxing gloves and a scar down his right eye (Atk: 4200 Def: 3700).
"A fusion monster?" Kia questioned before she glanced at Jaden who had a wide grin on his face. "Let me guess, you had something to do with this?"
"Maybe…" Jaden grinned sheepishly while Yubel shook her head at him.
Like I didn't see that coming; Mr. Huffingtonthought as he remember what happened the other night when Jaden and Syrus were helping to improve Chumley's deck. He heard Jaden as he gave Chumley "Master of Oz". Chumley was surprise that his friend would give him such a powerful card but Jaden said that he didn't mind since they were buddies and that he was going to help in any way he could to have his friend stay here at the island. Mr. Huffington just smiled a little since he was happy that his son had made some really good friends.
"Now Master of Oz, attack and destroy Dizzy Angel!" Chumley ordered as his Koala beast punched the drunken angel in the face and destroyed it.
"Sorry son but I play my trap, Half Shield! With it, I can cut the damage from your attack in half!" Mr. Huffington counted as he was still hit hard from the damage from the attack but thanks to his trap, he was still in the duel.
(Chumley: 1000 Mr. Huffington: 500)
"I'm still here and standing, Chumley." Mr. Huffington boomed.
Chumley looked a little annoyed at that. "Yeah, so bring it!"
"Oh man, Chumley almost had him there." Syrus spoke and added; "This is close."
"Yeah it is; this one is going down to the wire." Jaden agreed with a smile and Kia nodded to that.
"Chumley," Mr. Huffington started which made his son look at him. "You fought a good duel but you lost."
"What are you talking about?! Master of Oz has 4200 attack points!"
"It does but it doesn't matter. You forget that with one flip of the table; your monster will be gone."
"That card doesn't scare me, dad! You forget that I know its weakness!"
"Flipping the Table has a weakness?" Jaden questioned, surprised.
"That's right, when you use it; you can't summon any monsters during your turn." Chumley explained before he pointed at his father. "And that means, you have nothing to protect your life points, dad! I win and you'll lose. How do you like them apples?!"
Mr. Huffington chucked at that. "Not bad, Chumley; you found the card's weak spot. I'm very impressed with you. But still, it won't change things." He then drew from his deck. "See with what I have planned, so what if I'm defenseless. I play two Hot Sauce Bottles!" Two red bottles of hot sauce appeared in front of Master of Oz.
"Wait…if one bottle is destroyed then he'll take 500 points of damage. So if two are destroyed…" Syrus's eyes widen when he figured out what that meant.
"This isn't going to be pretty." Kia said from what they were all thinking.
"I active Flipping the Table!" Mr. Huffington exclaimed as he threw the table into the air and it ended up destroying Master of Oz and the bottles of hot sauce. "That's two bottles down so that means 1000 points of damage to you!"
Chumley covered his mouth and nose as the smell of hot sauce appeared for the last time as it took out the last of his life points.
(Chumley: 0 Mr. Huffington: 500)
"I can't believe it, he lost." Syrus frowned.
"Poor Chum and he was so close too." Jaden added who was also frowning.
"I knew this was going to come back to bite him in the butt." Kia mumbled.
Chumley fell down to his knees after that with his head hanged low while his dad was watching him, thinking some things over in his head.
…..
Later that evening, Chumley was back at the Slifer dorm, finishing packing his things. Jaden, Syrus, and Kia were behind him, trying to talk him out of this.
"Chumley, come on! You really don't have to go, do you?" Syrus asked.
"Duh, I made a promise and I'm going to keep it." Chumley answered but he wasn't looking at either one of them. If he was crying again, it was hard to tell.
"Well I might not like it but at least we know you won't back down on your promises." Kia said sadly.
"Then this is really it?" Syrus closed his eyes so he wouldn't start crying.
"You were a good duelist, Chumley. Good luck with the hot sauce." Jaden said with a sad smile as he held out a hand to his leaving friend.
"Same to you with your future duels." Chumley replied as he shook Jaden's hand as he burst into tears which made Syrus start crying. "Anyway, I better get going now. There's a whole lot of hot sauce out there that needs bottling."
"I'm sure you'll bottle it great." Kia assured him before she sighed.
…..
A few minutes later, the group of four was walking out of the Slifer dorm and they were surprise to see Banner was standing there like he was waiting for them to show up. "Hey Professor Banner, where's my dad?" Chumley asked.
"Your father had to go since something went wrong with the miles." Banner explained which confused Chumley before Banner handed him a note. "But he wrote you this and wanted me to give it to you."
Chumley quickly took it and opened it up. "Dear son, there is more to school then just your studies. Though you might not have made great grades there, you made some great friends. That's reason enough for you to stay." Chumley started crying again as he read the note out loud. Before he knew what he was doing, he dropped the note and ran off yelling; "Dad!"
The now staying Slifer ran to the side of the cliff that Jaden and Kia were on this morning and yelled; "Daddy! I won't let you down! I won't let any of you down! For here on out, I'm going to make you proud of me! My family and my friends!"
Just as he finished that, Jaden, Syrus, and Kia ran up to stand next to their friend, all of them happy that he was staying for good.
"And so another happy ending is made." Kia said with a smile before she looked over at Jaden. "But now we have another problem….we're going to need to find a new private hangout, Jay."
