A/N: This chapter features White Jaden's first duel! Enjoy! Also my partner and I own his opponent, Kenji Hernandez.

Last Time

Chazz did the unthinkable. He leaped forward and locked lips with her forcing a kiss on her cold lips. Jaden's heart skipped a beat as he witnessed Chazz locking lips with Alexis, as Jaden stood there stunned into silence.

She pulled away, absolutely livid. "HOW DARE YOU KISS ME, YOU DARKENED IDIOT!!!!" She screamed, completely infuriated, ready to kill him if she could. She vowed only Jaden could kiss her and she meant it.

Hassleberry instantly grabbed Chazz by the arm pulling him away from near Alexis and running away from her towards the exit on the other end dragging Chazz along… "Now why in Sam Hill did you go doing that for Sarge...Do you have a death wish?" Hassleberry asked Chazz.

Jaden ran up to Alexis placing a hand on her shoulder. "Lex...I swear I SWEAR!...that he will pay for that. I promise on my life, Chazz will PAY!" Jaden said.

End Flashback

Alexis' eyes were still filled with cold fury. "Jay I will relish that. Let's go so I can sanitize myself of his filthy mouth..." She snarled, still highly irate with Chazz.

He took her hand into his. "It'll be okay Lex." he said comfortingly.

Meanwhile…

"I'll ask you again. What the hell were you thinking Sarge?" Hassleberry asked as the two were outside.

"Well I've been feeling so helpless lately. Helpless in not saving Alexis. I should of dueled her not Jaden. But instead he duels and loses. And after hearing that Ice Queen song I started feeling afraid of her. But on the way here, I made up my mind, no more being helpless and afraid. My plan was simple; get back the old Alexis, through my actions. You see the old Alexis hated it when I tried to hit on her. Seriously she wasn't into it at all, so I hoped that by acting all lovey dovey with her I could get her angry at me-" Chazz explained before he was interrupted.

"Well you got that Sarge." Hassleberry interrupted.

"Yeah and that was the plan." responded Chazz as he continued, "I was hoping to get her to remember how her old self used to hate that, get her to remember her old self yelling at me to knock it off or cut it out, that is what I was going for…..though…" He sighed in disappointment, before continuing, "I hoped that kiss would be really, well awesome! But it was the exact opposite. I mean her lips were so icy cold, they were practically frozen. It was terrible my body was freezing my insides feeling cold…and not in a good way, might I add. That kiss it was devoid of any warmth, so cold and unwelcoming, it was terrible…still with any luck my plan might yet work, I just gotta keep at it." Chazz answered, perking back up again.

"Sarge, let me do the planning this time…" Hassleberry sighed.

"Fine whatever, I still think my idea will work" Chazz said.

Meanwhile, Alexis and Jaden dropped off their homework and Alexis got washed up from the nearby bathroom.

The two were once again outside when Jaden spoke up, "Hey Lex, after what Chazz did I'm even more ready to destroy someone with my new deck"

"Heh, who will it be?" She asked, eager to know.

"Whom ever I find" Jaden said. "Come on" He said walking off to look for an opponent.

She happily followed him. "Well no matter who it is, they'll fall before us." She said, grinning coldly.

"Yes." He said. It wasn't long before he spotted a group of duelists eager to challenge them all.

However before he could do anything a man came from behind Alexis. "Alexis Rhodes accept my challenge." the male voice said. "One on one your ice deck VS my water deck."

"Heh, please I'd crush you. But if you're that eager to be put on ice, fine."

"Not so fast." Jaden said turning to face the duelist that had spoken to her. "Your not worthy of facing her. Instead how about me?" Jaden said.

"No thanks pipsqueak. I'm not here to face a lightweight." The voice said.

Alexis gave the man an icy glare. "Jaden Yuki is no lightweight. He's twice the duelist you'll ever be!"

He stood back slightly shocked by her look and verbal outburst. "Fine if he wants it he's got it one on one. Follow me." The man said leading them near the shore. "The names Kenji Hernandez, ready?" Kenji asked Jaden.

"Don't worry Jay. You'll take him easy." Alexis replied confidently.

"Yeah I got this. Thanks Lex." Jaden answered, smiling.

Kenji had a long black ponytail and business suit on it was of a blue color along with black shoes. He laughed and removed the top of his suit revealing no undershirt then removed his pants to reveal black swim trunks and removed his shoes and socks. "Ahh that's better now game on!"

Jaden smiled. "Since I'm just a mere amateur compared to you, its only right that you go first."

Kenji lights up his duel disk. Jaden pulls his out and inserts his deck lighting up his duel disk.

Jaden: 4000

Kenji: 4000

The two each draw 5 cards. "Fine. My turn, I draw." Kenji said, drawing his 6th card.

A serious look comes to Kenji's face as he pulls 2 cards from his hand to play. "I set 1 monster face down and end my turn."

"My turn, I draw." Jaden said picking up the top card from his deck smiling evilly. 'Akashi already. Destiny seems to be in my favor' He thought darkly.

"I'm gonna summon this monster in attack mode. Manju of The Ten Thousand Hands!" Jaden said as an odd freaky grey creature with red eyes and many hands sticking from its body appeared on the field. (1400/1000)

"And thanks to his ability I get to take a ritual spell card or ritual monster from my deck and add it into my hand. Of course you get to see it." Jaden searched his deck and revealed Paladin Of White Dragon.

"Now I play White Dragon Ritual and sacrifice Manju to summon Paladin of White Dragon in attack mode!" (1900/1200)

"Now I equip my Paladin with this." he said showing Mage Power. "Mage Power. And that means he gains 500 attack and defense points for each Magic and Trap on my side of the field!"

A warrior incased in white armor riding a mighty white dragon appeared on the field. Then a white aura shot up around the warrior and his dragon as Mage Power was played, boosting his stats to 2400/1700 respectively.

"Now Paladin of White Dragon attack his face down monster!" Jaden demanded.

The dragon burst off at mach speed and the swordsman drew out his sword running his weapon right through the face down monster Maiden of Aqua.

"Grr...." Kenji growled surprised that Jaden was able to get that monster off so quickly.

"My turn is over." Jaden said in a monotone voice, trying to not come across as cocky or arrogant against Kenji.

Alexis grinned darkly. "If that's all you've got, my prince will crush you!" She taunted, mocking his first turn strategy of only a facedown monster.

Jaden blushed looking surprised by her comment.

"Funny, its only the first round and you already think he's won" Kenji said playfully, teasing her.

"My turn, I draw" Kenji drew his card. "Excellent! For my first card I'll play this Magic Card, Fissure, destroying the only monster on your field. So farewell, Paladin of White Dragon." The ground began to shake as Paladin of White Dragon exploded in a burst of pixels.

"Now say hello to this. Giant Red Seasnake" he said as a long red snake creature appeared on the field. (1800/1000)

"And that's not all, you see in addition to my water monster comes the perfect field spell. Legendary Ocean!" He placed down the field spell and soon the once rocky surface the monsters had been battling on changed into a large pool of water. The water surged to the point where it rose slightly above Jaden's head.

The Giant Red Seasnake was now submerged in the water. "Heh...now the fun really begins, with Legendary Ocean all water monsters lose 1 star and gain 200 attack plus defense!" Kenji said as the Seasnake's stats rose to 2000/1200 respectively.

"Seasnake attack him directly. Kenji said as the snake swam through the water crashing into Jaden's chest with Jaden screaming in pain as hid life points dropped to 2000.

"My turn is done Mr. Yuki." Kenji said, teasing him.

'Damn!' Jaden mentally cursed to himself as Kenji had taken out his 2 powerful cards and half his life points.

Still Jaden looked upon his hand and saw an opportunity to destroy his field spell and monster in 1 move. "My turn. I Draw." Jaden drew his card. 'This move might be risky' Jaden thought, but still he had no choice. If he didn't destroy that monster he could be finished next turn.

"I play this monster Akashi, Swordswoman of radiant light!"

Suddenly from the sky a swordsman the same one as the spirit that killed the Tutu spirit, appeared. Falling from the sky gripping her katana with both hands the blade pointed downward her knees bent. She sunk down the ocean hitting the bottom her katana stuck into the ground. A crack appeared where the katana was stuck and a bright light crept from the crack, riding up the katana as she pulled her katana from the ground.

Kenji eyed the monster curious of what this card he had never seen before could do.

"With my Akashi she gains 100 attack points for each light monster that I remove from my graveyard up to 2 light monsters so I remove 2 light monsters my Manju and Paladin of White Dragon giving her 200 more attack boosting her attack from 1650 to 1850!" Jaden said.

"Ha, what a joke. I honestly expected more after that entrance from your swordswoman. Ohh well, once your turn is done my snake will crush her." Kenji said, taunting him.

"Not so fast. Idiot I would never have played just her without another card waiting in the wing. I play the almighty White Veil!" He declared revealing his card he smiled proudly as Akashi became surrounded by a white aura.

"Now Akashi will attack your seasnake." Jaden ordered as Akashi tossed her katana high into the air or rather high into the water, the katana flying forward as well. Akashi jumped up into the ocean performing a somersault catching the katana in midair and landing with the katana cutting the seasnake in half, even more surprising the ocean had faded and Akashi was standing on dry land.

"How!?" Kenji asked shocked. "Hmm...Lex care to explain?" Jaden asked turning to her.

Alexis grinned wickedly. "White Veil destroys all your spell and trap cards when the equipped monster strikes!"

"What!?..." Kenji felt his life points decrease by 50. "Lucky shot; sadly I still hold a much greater advantage." Kenji responded with. "I have 3950 life points and you only have 2000." Kenji said.

"Keep talking like that and your arrogance might cost you this duel" Jaden said.

Jaden placed 1 card face down. "My turn is done" Jaden said.

Alexis giggled softly. "You go, Jay. Crush his sorry soul!" She encouraged.

Kenji drew his card. "Today just isn't your day. I summon Giant Red Seasnake in attack mode. And now you will be punished. Big Bang Shot!"

Another snake appeared with a fire shooting around its body. "Now thanks to my Big Bang Shot my monster gains 400 more attack points and will be able to destroy your swordswoman." Kenji said. "Go Seasnake demolish her." The seasnake charged savagely at Akashi piercing through her body, making Akashi explode in a storm of pixels.

Jaden felt a sharp pain as the negative effect of White Veil zapped his life points to 350. "What is this?" Kenji asked curious as to why the boy lost so many life points as his creature was only 550 points stronger.

"Ahh, it was a risky move....but it had to be done." Jaden said to himself mostly. "My White Veil makes me take the original attack of my monster equipped to it as damage." Jaden struggled to say falling to both knees. "Ohh really...well then judging by that and the damage you take from my monster defeating yours, its game over." Kenji said, pointing out that Jay was due to take 150 more points of damage than he could sustain.

"Jay!! Are you all right?!" She cried, rushing to his side in panic.

Jaden held his right hand out in a stop motion, making Alexis halt short of him. "It's not game over not with this card. Painless Death!" Jaden stood up.

"When a monster on my side is destroyed this card negates any battle damage dealt." He said as his card was revealed and then faded away.

"It matters not how long you stall, you WILL eventually fall to me." Kenji said.

"I'm not falling to a water obsessed freak like you. And I believe unless you have any other cards to play it's my move." Jaden said.

"Yes, yes go ahead." Kenji said.

"Alright. My turn! I Draw!" He drew his card completely ignoring Alexis, his eyes burning with a strong desire to win. The desire Jaden had never lost the desire to always come out on top. "I play Pot of Greed!" Jaden said as two cards came from the top of his deck, into his hand.

"Just what I needed. I summon Skilled White Magician in attack mode." A magician dressed in white appeared wielding a white staff. (1700/1900) "Now I play Bright Castle!"

Suddenly a bright castle shot up from the ground behind the magician flooding light onto him. "With this his attack jumps up to 2400. Now Skilled White destroy his worthless snake." The skilled White Magician raced towards the snake spinning its staff in a circle with one hand as it reached the snake bringing the staff down forcefully upon the snake destroying it in an explosion of pixels. Kenji let loose a small yelp as his life points fell to 3750.

"You shouldn't have counted me out so easily and because of that you have paid. Now start your turn." Jaden said in a commanding voice

Alexis grinned evilly, flashing Jaden a thumbs-up.

Jaden was focused dead ahead at Kenji failing to acknowledge Alexis.

Kenji drew his card sighing. "I set 1 monster in face down defense position. Turn end" Kenji moaned.

"What ran out of snakes or is he your face down monster either way, the advantage falls to me. I draw. "Now I summon Manju of the Ten Thousand Hands...and of course you know the drill" Jaden pulled from his deck Paladin of White Dragon. "Now Skilled White destroy his monster and Manju attack him directly." His Skilled White Magician leapt up into the air and crashed down with its staff on his face down monster Maiden of the Aqua destroying it and then Manju reached 1 of its hands over to Kenji smacking him in the face. Kenji's life points fell to 2350 as Kenji let out a cry in pain.

Alexis looked on, a bit hurt he wasn't acknowledging her.

"Draw!" Kenji quickly drew his card. "I set 1 monster face down defense." Kenji said, a serious expression upon his face as he set his monster face down. "Turn End." Kenji said.

"Hmm...trying to hide your own fear. Don't worry this duel will be over soon. My turn Draw!" Jaden drew his card. "Attack Skilled White destroy his face down!"

Skilled White raced towards the face down slashing with his staff. Suddenly the face down monster revealed itself to be Penguin Soldier.

"Ha you fell into my trap. Penguin Soldier will return your Skilled White and Manju back to your hand."

Skilled White and Manju returned to Jaden's hand.

"Now your field is empty Jaden. What will you do?" Kenji asked.

"This. I set 1 monster in face down defense position and set 1 other card face down. Turn end!" Jaden said.

"My turn Jaden. Draw!" he drew his card smirking. "We all know you set that Skilled White Magician. It was pointless to hide that card. Either way I also set 1 monster in face down defense position. The difference is you don't know what my card is." Kenji said proudly. "Turn end."

"It doesn't matter; the white light will ensure my win and your demise along with your darkness!" Jaden said. "My turn draw!" Jaden drew his card. "I flip my monster face up." Skilled White Magician was revealed. "Now I also summon Manju of the Ten Thousand Hands! And thanks to him being returned, I get to use his effect again. This time I'll get White dragon ritual!" Jaden said searching his deck for said card and revealing it.

He played White Dragon Ritual. "Now comes White Dragon Ritual and with it I sacrifice Manju to summon Paladin of White Dragon in attack mode. Now Skilled White attack his face down."

Skilled White did so thrusting its staff into the face down Yomi Ship. "Due to Yomi Ship's effect your skilled white magician is destroyed as well." Kenji said.

"No matter for I have Paladin of White Dragon attack you directly" His paladin raced on its dragon to Kenji, once within range the Paladin slashed its sword across Kenji's chest. Kenji screamed in pain his life points hitting 450.

"Looks like I'm closing the gap" Jaden said smirking evilly.

Alexis laughed wickedly, loving Kenji's suffering so as to reflect the cold-hearted witch she had become.

Kenji started becoming nervous. 'I can't lose to this punk.'

"I draw. I set 1 monster face down." A sweat drop fell from his forehead as he prayed Jaden wouldn't be able to summon another monster.

"Its over with this. The draw of destiny!" Jaden drew his card. "I summon White Ninja in attack mode. (1500/800) Now Paladin of White Dragon crush his face down." His white paladin flew forward on his dragon and stabbed its sword into the face down Sea Serpent Warrior of Darkness. It was almost fitting in a way that Kenji's final monster card should be a warrior of "darkness".

Kenji stammered backwards.

"White Ninja you know what to do." The White Ninja leapt into the air and pulled out 3 shuriken flinging the tiny star shaped blades at Kenji they pierced his body as he let out one final cry in pain before falling down and out.

"I win!" Jaden said as the monsters faded. "And since your out. I'll just take your medals, not that you'll be needing them." Jaden said grabbing all 46 medals and adding them into his collection... "Ahh I have quite the collection now" Jaden said looking upon his medals.
