Yu-Gi-Oh! GX: Heart of The Duelist
Chapter 12: Shining Victory
"Hey, Pal." said Jaden as a spirit of a small fury creature with wings appeared on his shoulder. "Are you ready to do this?"
"OOOH!" said the creature as it nodded and disappeared. Jaden looked at the cards in his hand and suddenly a strategy appeared in his mind.
"I summon the Winged Kuriboh in attack mode." Said Jaden as from a small beam of light, Winged Kuriboh appeared.
(LV: 1 ATK: 300 DEF: 200)
"Winged Kuriboh?" asked Xile, as laughed from the amusement. Xile looked at Jaden to find him holding out a card in his hand. The card had an image of red and blue creatures fusing together in a flash of light.
"Not funny anymore, is it?" asked Jaden, smiling as his eyes began to glow slightly brighter than before. "I can tell you know what my Miracle Fusion does, but what you don't know is that I'm going to use it to fuse my Neos and Winged Kuriboh."
Neos and Winged Kuriboh began to look at each other. After a nod, they both jumped in the air, forming a power blinding light. Xile began to cover his eyes, unable to stand the intensity of the light.
"That's impossible." Said Xile, trying get an image of Jaden as the light grew brighter and brighter. Xile noticed that Jaden's eyes had a feeling in them. Xile, could not understand what was happening.
"It's very possible." said Jaden as the light became brighter. "Say hello to one of my newest Elemental Heroes….The Shining!"
From the bright a body began to form and Elemental hero The Shining appeared on the field, shining bright.
(LV: 8 ATK: 2600 DEF: 2100)
"That monster is incredible!" said Xile, amazed at seeing the Shining, "But your monster's attack points are weak. It doesn't stand a chance against the power of my serpent."
"That's where I'd like to thank you, Xile." said Jaden with a smile, "Because of your Serpent and Shadow Vortex, plus my Miracle Fusion, I now have 6 elemental hero monsters removed from play. Because of that, my Shining's ability activates, allowing him to gain 300 attack points for each elemental hero monster removed, giving him a power boost of 1800."
(ATK: 2600 → 4400)
"I've never seen such power in a monster." Said Xile as he looked at Shining gaining strength. Jaden looked at the cards in his hand one more time and his eyes widened.
"Next," said Jaden, "I activate the Convert Contact spell card. This card allows me to send the Neo-Spacian Flare Scarab from my hand and the Neo-Spacian Dark Panther from my deck in order to draw two cards."
Jaden drew his two cards and smiled.
"Now, The Shining." continued Jaden, "Destroy Xile's Ultimate Shadow Serpent!"
The Shining was glowing brightly as he moved towards the serpent. The giant snake began to slither around as it saw the bright light. The Shining moved towards the serpent and grabbed it, causing it to shatter into darkness.
"You fell right into my trap, Jaden." said Xile as he began to laugh maniacally. Jaden was confused. After a while of looking on the field, Jaden realized that Xile had not lost any life points. "What's going on here?" Jaden thought.
"I activate the final ability of my Shadow Vortex." continued Xile, "When you destroy an 'Ultimate Shadow' I control, I can destroy my Shadow Vortex and take no damage. In addition, I can destroy one monster you control and you take damage equal to it's attack points."
Before Jaden could say anything, the ground began to shake and the Shadow surroundings began to disappear, bringing back the sight of the empty Duel Dome.
"Say goodbye to your monster Jade..What!?" exclaimed Xile as he saw Elemental Hero Neos and Winged Kuriboh back on the field. The Shining, however, was nowhere to be seen.
"When you selected my monster." said Jaden, "I activated my De-Fusion spell card from my hand, which allowed me to bring back my Neos and Winged Kuriboh to the field."
"This can't be." said Xile, looking at the monsters, "How did you manage to beat me!?"
"Like I said before.." said Jaden, "I have heart. Now Winged Kuriboh attack him directly.". Instantly the Winged Kuriboh flew towards Xile and slapped him on the head, to which the small fur ball bounced off.
(Xile: 2800 → 2500)
"Now Neos, you know what to do." continued Jaden. Neos nodded his head and jumped in the air. His hand was immediately surrounded in flame as he went to attack Xile with a karate chop, causing Xile to scream in pain and fall to the ground.
(Xile: 2500 → 0)
(Jaden: 100)
"It's all over, Xile." said Jaden as he walked towards him. Dark streams began to appear on Xile, causing him to slowly disappear. Xile took a quick look at Jaden's eyes and saw that the color of each eye was different. Xile began to smile.
"I understand now Jaden." said Xile, laughing weakly, "I understand your abilities. It's not heart that saved you in this battle, was it? Something gave you strength."
Jaden looked at the last card in his hand – H- Heated Heart – and began to look at Xile in disappointment. "My friends will always be there for me, even if you take them away, they'll still be there to help me."
"Who said I took them, Jaden?" said Xile, "They never left the building. Thank you for your cooperation." Xile let out a maniacal laugh until eventually he disappeared.
Jaden's eyes turned back to normal and Banner appeared next to him. Suddenly he could hear cheering. Jaden looked around the Dome and found everyone sitting in their seats cheering. Jaden was confused on what just happened.
"Professor Banner." said Jaden, looking at Banner "Was all this just a trick by Xile so I could duel him?"
'It would appear so, Jaden' replied Banner, 'I believe it's all in the past now."
Jaden looked ahead and saw Alexis walking outside the Dome. Banner disappeared as Jaden ran towards her.
"ALEXIS!" yelled Jaden as he reached Alexis. Alexis turned around and saw Jaden's eyes. Immediately something inside Alexis shook her. There was something different about Jaden and she could tell.
"Where are you going?" asked Jaden as he reached towards her.
"I saw your duel with Edward just now." said Alexis, "I thought the best way I could get your attention after a duel like that was to walk outside."
"Edward?" thought Jaden, "Was Xile in disguise for the whole duel?"
"Anyway," said Alexis, blushing "I thought about what you said last night."
"Really?" asked Jaden, "What did you think about?"
"This."
Alexis leaned in as fast as she could and kissed Jaden on the lips. Jaden held her close as they continued to kiss. They could feel that the empty voids in their lives were suddenly full and everything turned out great.
"Attention Duelists!" said the Announcer, who was heard from outside the Duel Dome. "Due to the results of this duel, Jaden Yuki has now advanced to the finals and will duel for the championship."
Jaden and Alexis could hear the crowd cheering as they walked back to the dome together.
"What are you going to do afterwards, Jaden?" asked Alexis with a smile. Jaden didn't answer, he simply leaned forward and kissed Alexis once again. As the kiss broke, Alexis began to smile even more.
"I'll stay for you." thought Jaden.
