7th day of Grand Battle…
D-Day…
* * * * *
It was the start of early morning in Duelist Academia. The birds chirped, duelists from every dorm were waking up and heading for breakfast. Judai, Sho and Kenzan were already at the cafeteria, eating their morning breakfast. Judai saw Ray with Adel at another table, both of them talking and laughing to each other. Judai smiled, so Ray has another friend.
Judai looked at the food on his plate, and quickly gobbled it down at an almost inhuman rate, leaving Sho and Kenzan embarrassed at his massive hunger. Sho looked around the room; there were no North Schoolers at all.
"Huh. I wonder where all the North Schoolers went to?" He asked.
"Probably chasing their dream of becoming the head of the pack-don." Kenzan said; a bit annoyed at the North Schoolers.
"I know they're extreme, but there tends to be at least one North Schooler here at breakfast time." He said. "Maybe its nothing." Sho started to eat his food, but he continued to think.
* * * * *
Samejima was already up, his expression serious. He sat at his desk, looking out the window that overlooked Duelist Academia. Today is the war, he thought, the true war. I don't know if Duelist Academia can live through this… He placed his hand on his heart, Amatersau help us…
He heard the speaker on his desk go off. A female voice came out of it, her voice a bit nervous. "Principal," the voice said, "East School's and West School's duelists have arrived. Amon and O'Brien included."
Samejima gave a smile, "Wonderful news. Thank you."
"Your welcome." the voice said, and the female voice signed off.
Samejima looked back at Duelist Academia, with the most sincere look. "This is the beginning…"
Suddenly, two overhead screens came in front of Samejima. On them were Sergei and Thomas.
"Have our duelists come?" Sergei asked, his voice gruff.
Samejima nodded his head. "All of your duelists have come, including Amon and O'Brien." Samejima said. He sighed, "I've already told the students that South Schoolers are going to be in the tournament. All we can do now is wait."
"God help us." Thomas said, making the shape of a cross with his hands. Sergei laughed, "Not even 'God' could help us now, Thomas. It's time for us, and only us, to win. This is war."
* * * * *
Kong was at his room, in front of him a screen showing all of Duelist Academia. Next to him was a screen that showed the man named Luigino. Kong heard his walkie-talkie go off, "Headmaster, the special forces have arrived."
"Rodger." Kong said in response. The voice signed off. Luigino smiled, "Those would be my duelists." He said with a smile, "Just enough of our duelists to fight for you, Kong. Show them the glory of East School, Kong, beyond that pathetic Thomas!" Luigino said; his voice filled with passion.
Kong nodded, "Don't worry Luigino, both our goals are closer and closer to realization. This is the start of the true war." Luigino nodded, and signed off. Kong was left to himself. He pressed a button, turning on the screen again expect this time it showed Kaisno. Kong smiled at him, "Sorry for keeping you waiting Kaisno." Kong said. Kaisno nodded, and Kong again turned on the walkie-talkie in his hand. Kong heard a voice come on over the walkie-talkie. "Headmaster, South School's duelists have arrived." The voice said, to which Kaisno looked pleased at. Kong nodded. The voice continued, "They are being directed to wait at the docks until our forces arrive along with the other North Schoolers. The first regiment of our forces is heading to Duelist Academia."
"Good, make sure everything is prepared." Kong said. The voice hanged up, and Kong pressed the button again, and the screen showed Monkey.
Kong smiled, "I need more mercenaries, Monkey."
* * * * *
A boy with bright red hair and a green cloak on was at the office of Samejima. Next to him stood an African, his nose overly large and his hair dark. He wore an ankh chain around his neck. Both of them stood next to each other, looking at Samejima.
"Good evening, O'Brien and Amon." Samejima said.
"Hello, Headmaster Samejima." They said in unison.
"Your headmasters have told you why you are here?"
O'Brien spoke, his voice clear and cold, "To destroy these damn North Schoolers and spread the glory that is West School."
Amon spoke after, "To destroy North School and her allies and…" He suddenly looked up, and stopped talking. Samejima nodded.
Samejima nodded his head, "We need your help. Both of you are the champions of your school, you will be most valuable in the fight."
Amon and O'Brien nodded. Samejima put his index and thumb on his eyes, and spoke softly. "Please. This war…has as much to do with your schools as it does North School and Duelist Academia. Please. Help us stop Kong."
Amon and O'Brien nodded. Amon looked at his duel disk, "Headmaster Thomas has spoken about the abomination that's Kong's North School." He looked at Samejima, "What does Kong want?"
Samejima shook his head, "I…don't know. He wants to destroy Duelist Academia, but…" Amon looked at him, confused, as was O'Brien.
"I…don't know his motives. His past is murky. The records from the Headmaster database show nothing on him, absolutely nothing. But I know he hates me and my Duelist Academia with a passion, but I don't know why…"
Amon nodded, "You want to know."
"Yes." Samejima sighed. "It may not matter. For today, Duelist Academia may be destroyed by the fires of this war."
Amon raised his eyebrows, "Destroyed?" he asked.
Samejima nodded, "Today starts D-Day…The hell awaits us all…"
* * * * *
At the beach, students were playing. The boys stared at the girls in the bikinis and the girls stared at the boys. Some were playing volleyball or swimming in the ocean. Others were playing on the sand, making a sand castle with their friends. Suddenly, one of them pointed to a ship in the distance. Everyone started looking at the ship.
"What's that?" one of them asked, as the ship got closer…
* * * * *
The ship the beach-goers were pointing to got to the bay at Duelist Academia. A couple of heavy-looking North Schoolers got out of the boat, and quickly tied the boat down to the docks. They gave a thumbs-up, and quickly, North Schoolers started to come out of the boat onto the ground.
There were dozens of North Schoolers coming out of the ship, perhaps even hundreds, as they moved rapidly into rank-and-file order. They saluted when they got into order.
As the North Schoolers descended, other North Schoolers were already there, presumably the ones who had already been there when Grand Battle started. Beside them stood other duelists, they wore duel disk that had the symbol of a sun on it and wore dark red uniforms. Presumably they were South Schoolers. In the center of them all, Kong stood, watching with pride as his North Schoolers got off the boats. Next to him was Edogawa, smiling at his comrades. When the North Schoolers finished lining up, saluting, Kong spoke, his voice reaching everyone in the area.
"North Schoolers!" He yelled, "This is the time we have been waiting for! The time of our power, the time when we show the great strength of our school! Cast down these pathetic Duelist Academiers, North Schoolers. Cast them down and shed a new light. A light for North School! A light for us all! North School!" Kong yelled.
The North Schoolers hollered in support at Kong. They all roared ""All for Headmaster Kong! All for glorious North School!" The cheering was so loud, that even a few Duelist Academiers were looking to see what was going on. The North Schoolers not in lines gave them a dark look and shouted at them to go away, scaring them off.
Kong smiled; he looked at his duelists with a penetrating stare. He suddenly raised his hand high into the air as a form of salute, "For so long we have waited for the time for this war! For so long have we waited to defeat the Duelist Academia that has caused us misery! This is our chance, our chance to destroy this Academia! Our chance to show the world the superiority of North School! For our fatherland, for North School!"
"For North School! For the Fatherland!" the North Schoolers yelled wildly, waving their hands.
"We start the true war!" Kong yelled, keeping his hand in the air. "Fight!"
* * * * *
Judai sighed, looking at Sho and Kenzan as they walked down a path leading to the main building. They saw something up ahead; dozens of North Schoolers were spread out along the area. Judai looked at them in surprise, "What are all these North Schoolers doing here?"
Suddenly he saw the North Schoolers activate their duel disks, and heard a nearby explosion. He heard yells, as explosions suddenly engulfed the area. He saw a bunch of North Schooler run up to him. "Duel us!!" They yelled at Judai. More North Schoolers came, surrounding Judai, Sho and Kenzan in a circle.
"What do you guys want?" Sho asked angrily.
"Duel us!!" one of them yelled again, his voice in rage. They activated their duel disk, looking at Judai, Kenzan and Sho with hatred. Judai, Sho and Kenzan all looked to each other, a bit worried, and turned on their duel disks.
"For the fatherland!!" A North Schooler yelled.
"DUEL!" They all roared.
* * * * *
Manjyome was looking at the sky, walking down the path that lead to Osiris Red. He looked over his shoulder: Osiris Red students were following him. Manjyome chuckled until he heard explosions in the distant. He saw North Schoolers and South Schoolers coming toward him.
"Hm?" He asked. The South and North Schoolers came near him. They surrounded him by two South Schoolers and three North Schoolers. They were all yelling at him to duel them.
"Duel us!" They roared. They had completely surrounded Manjyome's Osiris Red following. Manjyome laughed, turning on his duel disk. "I, Manjyome Red Thunder, will take pleasure in destroying you." He said, smiling.
"DUEL" They all shouted.
* * * * *
Smaejima looked down at Duelist Academia from his office, his hands folded behind his back. Sergei and Thomas stood behind him, their faces on the screens, looking at him.
"What will you do Samejima?" Sergei asked him.
Samejima closed his eyes, and then threw off his clothes, revealing dojo-like clothing on. He put on a duel disk that sat on his desk, and took out a deck from his pocket. He sighed, as his duel disk turned on.
"Relieving the past, Samejima?" Sergei asked with curiosity.
Samejima still had his eyes closed, "This is the day we all fight Sergei." Samejima said.
He looked at Thomas and Sergei, putting his thumbs up. "Wish me luck, comrades." He said smiling, surprising Sergei a bit. Thomas nodded, "May God be with you, Samejima." He said, making a cross sign. Samejima nodded, and heard the explosions occurring throughout the Academia.
He suddenly heard noises behind him, as a row of North Schoolers came into the room, yelling at him to duel them. Thomas and Sergei looked at them; Sergei snickered while Thomas growled in anger. Samejima looked at them seriously, getting into a dueling stance. "I will defeat North School no matter what!" He yelled, drawing his first five cards, as did the North Schoolers.
Sergei spoke, "Give them hell Samejima."
"DUEL!" They roared.
* * * * *
Judai stood, the North Schoolers he dueled thrown back in defeat. He looked over his shoulder. Duelists lied on the floor: North Schooler, South Schooler and Duelist Academier alike.
He looked in front of him, already ten North Schoolers surrounded him again, yelling at him to duel them. He looked a Sho and Kenzan, who held up their duel disks in preparation. Suddenly, Judai saw a hologram from the corner of his eye, and the North Schoolers fell to the ground all at once. He looked over, and a teenager with extremely spiky hair came up to him, his suit a creamy white under a brown coat. Judai looked at him in surprise, "Tachibana!" He said.
The teenager named Tachibana smiled at him, giving him a thumbs-up. "It's been awhile, Judai." He looked at the North Schooler on the ground, "Wanted to be here to show my 'appreciation' to my former comrades." He said with a smile. As he finished, the North Schoolers were getting up, distorted until they saw Tachibana, to which their expression changed to one of rage and hatred.
"It's you!" They roared at him, "You damn traitor! You took a Wonder, the treasure of the fatherland!" They activated their duel disks, "We'll destroy all of you, Duelist Academia scum and North School traitor!"
Judai, Sho and Kenzan looked to each other, and they too, turned on their duel disks, as did Tachibana. Tachibana laughed at the North Schoolers, "You wouldn't have want that devil of a Wonder anyways." He said, drawing his first five cards, as did everyone else.
"DUEL!" they all shouted.
* * * * *
Slowly, more and more North and South Schoolers started to fight Duelist Academiers. Even those on the beaches were forced to battle, dueling on the water itself against North and South Schoolers. The island slowly but surely became enveloped in smoke, in war.
Soon, every duelist, Osiris Red, Ra Yellow ad Obelisk Blue, was dueling. Some fell to the ground in defeat, others were thrown into the air by post-duel explosions. They fought against their North School opponents, defeating and getting defeated at the same time.
Smokes filled every corner of the island, becoming consumed with war. Edogawa stood with dozens of North Schoolers, pointing his finger toward a field of Duelist Academiers. "Crush them!" He roared, and his North Schoolers charged toward the Academiers. Edogawa turned his duel disk on, "For North School, I will crush Duelist Academia beneath our heel!" He pointed at five Obelisk Blue duelists, "Fight me!" He roared. The Obelisk Blue students nodded, and turned on their duel disks. "For the fatherland, for Kong!" Edogawa roared, "We shall crush this island with our power!"
"DUEL!" They shouted.
* * * * *
A large man, his body bulky and his hair spiky was dueling a North Schooler. He had on his field a large bluish snake; her hands and hair made of different individual snakes. The man laughed, pointing toward the North Schooler.
"Vennominaga crush him!" The man yelled, and the snake-woman's hands started to move. Her hand was in line with the North Schooler's monster, and a giant snake came from her snake hand, and bit the North Schooler's monster, destroying it.
The North Schooler was thrown back in a post-duel explosion. The large man snickered at the North Schooler as O'Brien came near him.
"Professor Cobra!" He yelled to the man. Cobra looked at him and nodded.
"Defeat as many North Schoolers as you can O'Brien." Cobra said; he held his hand in a fist, "For West School!" He yelled.
O'Brien did the same, and yelled, "For West School!" He looked toward an advancing group of North Schoolers, and turned on his duel disk. "For Sergei!" O'Brien roared, moving toward them as Cobra began to fight another group of North Schoolers.
* * * * *
Judai, Kenzan, Sho and Tachibana looked at the row of North Schoolers who just lost. They were on the ground, smoke coming off their clothes. Tachibana looked at Judai, "You're the same as ever, Judai." He said, laughing.
Judai laughed too, until they noticed something coming. They all looked over, and saw five more North Schoolers coming toward them with rage on their faces, duel disks readied to battle. Tachibana looked at Judai, "Get going, Judai, I'll show them the power of my One-Slash Draw deck."
Judai nodded, and the three of them ran off. The five North Schoolers got to Tachibana, who smiled calmly as they looked at him with rage. "Traitor!" they roared at him. "We'll kill you, traitor to the fatherland!" the North Schoolers put their duel disk in position. Tachibana laughed, and said simply, "One turn kill." And readied his duel disk also.
"DUEL!" they all yelled.
* * * * *
Amon was fighting a South Schooler. On his field was a cloud monster. It was a purplish color and its shape was like a hurricane. Amon pointed toward the South Schooler, "Eye of the Typhoon! Attack him directly!"
The monster suddenly started to call winds, as the South Schooler was blown backwards, leaving Amon the victor. Amon looked up to the sky, "For East School. For the Dream." He said, as a North Schooler came to him. The North Schooler turned on his duel disk, as did Amon.
"DUEL!" They both shouted.
* * * * *
On every corner of the island, duels were starting, explosions occurring. North Schoolers were roaring at Duelist Academiers to fight. Duelist Academiers were roaring back, as prideful and extreme as the North Schoolers.
A duelist was fighting against a North Schooler. He had a dull face and dark brown hair. He wore a Ra Yellow uniform. "My turn, draw." He said dully.
"I win." He said suddenly, and the forbidden one came, destroying the North Schooler. The boy sighed, as the North Schooler stood on the floor, stunned from the blast. The boy looked for another duelist in the midst of the chaos.
* * * * *
A man was dueling a North Schooler, he had no shirt on and wore only pants, looking like Tarzan. They were in the forest, and the man growled into the air. He was Taizen. On Taizen's field was a huge stone-like monster with two sets of red eyes. Taizen pointed to the North Schooler, "Drawler! Attack directly!"
The stone-like monster suddenly ran to the North Schooler and ran him over, sending the North Schooler onto the floor. Taizen smiled, "We must all do our part to fight." He said, looking for more duelists to fight in the jungle.
* * * * *
The duels continued; filling up the island to the point it seemed the whole island was engulfed in duels. A bunch of duelists pointed to in-coming ships. The ships came to the docks, and dozens maybe even hundreds more North Schoolers and South Schoolers came out, looking around to fight. The last duelist to come out was a huge bulky man, with scars on his torso and face. He had wild blonde hair. He roared into the air, looking around for duelists to fight.
"Duel!" He yelled, moving around to fight Duelist Academiers.
* * * * *
Judai ran around with Sho and Kenzan, looking around. All over the place were duels and duels, and explosions occurring every second. Another group of North Schoolers came to Judai, roaring at him to duel them.
"DUEL US!!" They roared, turning on their duel disks. Judai did the same, seeing Sho and Kenzan also surrounded by duelists. Sho looked at his opponent, "Why do you guys want to fight us so badly!?"
The North Schooler spat on the ground, "For what you did to us, you god damn Academier! Enough talk! Duel!"
* * * * *
Asuka dueled alongside her brother Fubuki, a teenager with brown hair and an inversed Obelisk Blue uniform. Asuka looked at the three North Schoolers, in front of her was a woman wearing skates. She had grayish skin and red armor on with a white skirt. Asuka pointed toward the North Schoolers, "Cyber Blader, attack him directly!"
The skater moved toward the North Schooler, kicking him in the stomach that sent him flying through the dirt. Next to her, her brother had out a brownish fighter with brown and white armor on. Fubuki pointed toward his opponent, "Lei Lei, attack him directly!" The monster went up to his North School opponent, and punched him in the stomach, sending him to the ground.
More North Schoolers came, their eyes blazing to see Fubuki and Asuka. Four of them surrounded Fubuki and Asuka. "The 'Ice Prince'?" They snickered, looking at Fubuki. "We shall crush you where you stand, you damn Duelist Academier!"
Asuka looked at her opponent seriously, "I'll fight for the pride of Duelist Academia!"
Fubuki took out a ukulele and started to play it, much to the annoyance and anger of the North Schoolers. "C'mon guys, why fight?" He asked, playing his ukulele with a smile.
The North Schoolers looked at him with rage in their eyes. One of them spat at his feet, his face twisted with anger. Fubuki looked shocked at the reaction, looking at the North Schooler. The North Schoolers growled, "Shut up now, Duelist Academier! Duel us, NOW!" He roared, and the North Schoolers put up their duel disks and activated them.
Fubuki nodded, as did Asuka, and they both activated their duel disks. "DUEL!" They roared.
* * * * *
A group of people, maybe about twenty people, were dueling North Schoolers and South Schoolers. They wore white uniforms. They hollered into the air, "For the neo-White dorm! For Ryker! For Saiou!"
Ryker was at a field, looking at North and South Schoolers dueling in a battleground of duels. He pointed toward the North Schoolers. "Attack them!" He roared. "Show these weaklings the power of the Light brothers and sisters! The power of the neo-White dorm!"
The duelists in white came behind him in a charge, rushing to the battleground to fight North and South Schoolers. They started crushing North Schoolers and South Schoolers, roaring into the air for each victory. A North Schooler looked at them and scoffed, "A group even more pathetic then Duelist Academia? Bah! We'll crush them beneath our heel!" He roared to his comrades to charge against the white duelists, as they dueled the neo-White dorm.
Ryker dueled against North and South Schooler, his face showing determination. "Fight my brothers and sisters! Fight for the neo-White dorm!"
* * * * *
Across the island, all duelists were dueling. Two duelists, who both looked like twins, were dueling each other; one had a giant devilish monster, having two goat-horns and a bluish skin. On the other side was a dark monster that was the shape of the devilish monster, expect almost entirely black.
One of them spoke, "Brother, how can you duel against Samejima? Don't you remember when Samejima helped us? How can you turn?"
The other brother grunted, waving his hand around, "This side pays better."
* * * * *
The man who had scars on his face and torso was dueling a Duelist Academier. On his field was an oddly shaped yellow monster with green eyes. The man pointed to the Academier, "Multiple Slime, attack him directly!" The man said, and the yellow monster spit out yellow-colored bit from its mouth, burning the opponent's monster and sending the Academier flying. The man with the torso scoffed, and looked around for more duels with Academiers.
* * * * *
Manjyome was at a battlefield. He pointed toward dozens of North and South Schoolers. "Charge!" He roared.
When he yelled, dozens of Osiris Red duelists came behind him and charged toward the duelists, turning on their duel disks and declaring their duels. They looked toward Manjyome, and roared out "For our Dear Leader! For Manjyome!"
Manjyome stood, watching as his Osiris Red duelists dueled North and South Schoolers. Out of the corner of his eye he saw Misawa, his finger pointed toward the Osiris Red duelists. "Fight for our school!" Misawa roared, as North Schoolers by the dozens rushed toward the center battlefield, turning the battlefield to Osiris Red students vs. North Schoolers. Manjyome looked at Misawa, as did Misawa. They both snickered, and Manjyome yelled, "Fight for Duelist Academia!"
* * * * *
Chronos and Napoleon stood at the center of a battlefield, dueling in a tag team duel. They were up against two North Schoolers. Chronos had on his field Ancient Gear Golem while Napoleon had Toy Emperor and a facedown card. Chronos pointed toward his opponent, "Ancient Gear Golem, attack this North Schooler na no ne! Antique Gear Pound!"
The golem rocked itself back, and then forward, punching the North Schooler that sent him flying into the air before falling onto the ground. Napoleon pointed toward his facedown card, "Tag Battle!" He yelled, and his Toy Emperor struck his North School opponent. Napoleon laughed, "Tag Battle lets me attack in my partner's battle phase de aru!"
Both North Schoolers fell to the ground, and more North Schoolers and South Schoolers came toward Napoleon and Chronos in a charge. Chronos looked at them seriously.
"We shall fight no ne." Chronos said, and Napoleon nodded.
"For Duelist Academia de aru!" Napoleon yelled. They turned on their duel disks, "For our school!" Chronos and Napoleon roared together, dueling against their opponents.

A red-haired woman wearing an inversed Obelisk Blue uniform was fighting a North Schooler. She had on her field a dark-haired evil-looking woman. The red-haired woman pointed to her North School opponent. "Attack Reficul!" She yelled. The evil-looking woman pointed at the North Schooler, and flames enveloped him, sending him flying. The woman looked at the defeated North Schooler, and looked ready to fight more.
A Ra Yellow student came by the red-haired woman, "Nurse Ayukawa!" He yelled. "There's more duelists over there!" He pointed toward a field, and Ayukawa ran toward it. To protect Duelist Academia, we must all fight! She thought, running toward the field of North Schoolers.
* * * * *
An older man in a yellow uniform was dueling a North Schooler. The man had a moustache, and graying hair. He had out an odd monster whose weapon was a giant, metal spoon. The man pointed toward his opponent, "Curry Majin Roux attack!" He roared, and the monster hit the North Schooler with his spoon. The man looked around, struggling with sight of the pure destruction of Duelist Academia. He moved around, "I will help, for my beautiful Duelist Academia!" The man yelled, as two more North Schoolers came, and the man turned on his duel disk again. A Ra Yellow student came near the man, and turned on his duel disk too. "Kabayman-sensei, let me fight with you!" The Ra Yellow student yelled, and Kabayman nodded.
"DUEL" The four of them roared.
* * * * *
A professor with glasses on and long blue hair was dueling a South Schooler. The professor had out a demonic monster, with a sword and a shield in his hands. The professor sighed, and pointed toward the South Schooler. "Explode." He said simply, and his demonic monster exploded, as did his opponent's monsters. The South Schooler was thrown back, and the teacher sighed, looking around for his next duel. How wasted. He thought, looking at his opponent on the ground.

* * * * *
Samejima was fighting a South Schooler. On Samejima's field was a cybernetic ogre. Its eyes gleamed and its body futuristic yet also demonic. Samejima pointed at the South Schooler, "Cyber Ogre, attack him directly! Cybernetic Shock!"
The cybernetic ogre punched the ground, and the shockwaves hit the South Schooler, throwing him into the air. Samejima looked around, his expression serious. "I will save my family!" He said, looking at the main building of Duelist Academia.
He saw something from the corner of his eye; more ships were coming in. Samejima cursed, more North Schoolers!? He thought, as a North Schooler came to him, duel disk ready. Samejima growled, turning on his duel disk.
"DUEL!" They both shouted.
* * * * *
The ship Samejima pointed to came to the docks. Quickly, five heavy-set men in white clothing came out and tied the ship down to the docks. Duelist came out of the ship, hundreds of them together. One set of duelists wore bright red shirts, while the others wore blue shirts and blue caps. The last to come out were two men; one wore a bright red flag on his shirt. He smiled as he looked around the battleground that was Duelist Academia. The other man wore a black hat, and walked on a cane.
The mess of red shirts and blue shirts were causing a clamor as explosions occurred every few seconds near them. The man with the bright red flag yelled out, "Listen!" Immediately everyone became quiet, looking at the man.
The man cleared his throat, as explosions could be heard in the backgrounds. "Comrades," he said, "this is the day of battling. The day of fighting. Today, we are all fighters. Fight for West School comrades! Fight for her glory!"
The duelists in the red shirts roared high into the air, in popular support for the man with the banner. The man next to him spoke, his voice loud but hard to hear over the explosions.
"East Schoolers!" He yelled, "We fight here for the friendship with Duelist Academia and the future of our own school! Fight with your hearts East Schoolers! Fight with your heart against these North and South Schoolers!"
The duelists in the blue shirts roared too, in a cheer loud enough to overshadow the explosions. Both men suddenly yelled, together, "Fight!"
* * * * *
Max was dueling a North Schooler. He had two beast monsters on his field. The North Schooler had a Mobius on his field, and was yelling at Max. "Damn you traitor! You are just like Tachibana: a traitor to the fatherland, a traitor to North School! I will destroy you!"
Max kept his ground. "Raigeki!" He yelled, and a sudden thunderbolt came and destroyed the Mobius. Max pointed toward the North Schooler, "Go, my monsters, attack him directly!" The two beast monsters lunged over and attacked the North Schooler, throwing him into the air.
When the holograms went away, Max looked into the sky and smiled. "Thank you, Duelist Academia. I will protect you now." He said. He saw another duelist heading toward him, and he turned on his duel disk. His opponent turned on his, and they both roared, "DUEL!"
* * * * *
A small older man with graying hair was facing his opponent. He had out a large dragon, and he pointed at his opponent. "Attack!" he yelled.

* * * * *
Tech Ex. was fighting a Duelist Academier, on his field stood Victory Viper. Tech Ex. pointed toward the Academier, "Victory Viper, destroy this weakling!"

* * * * *
Samejima looked at a defeated North Schooler, his body thrown onto the floor, as both duelists' holograms slowly went away. He suddenly saw East Schoolers and West Schoolers coming to fight North Schoolers and South Schoolers. He looked dumb-founded, and his PDA went off. He picked it up, astonished. On the line were both Thomas and Sergei.
"What are these duelists doing here!?" Samejima yelled, both shocked and happy.
Thomas smiled, "We sent out duelists to fight. A sudden decision, but anything for our ally." Samejima smiled, and then looked at Sergei.
"We need to defeat Kong, whatever the cost." Sergei said, his face indifferent. Samejima smiled again, until he noticed three North Schoolers coming to fight him.
"Thank you, Sergei, Thomas." He said, turning off his PDA. He turned on his duel disk, as the North Schoolers did the same. "DUEL!" they roared.
* * * * *
Kong stood in his office, roaring at the screen. "What!?" He roared, looking from Kaisno to Monkey. He pounded his hands onto the desk, shaking the desk. "West Schoolers and East Schoolers!? Here!?" Kong threw a binder at the wall. "God damn that Thomas and Sergei!" He looked at Monkey, "Send him more mercenaries, I don't give a damn about the cost!"
Monkey looked stunned, and nodded, quickly turning on his cell phone. Kong looked at Kaisno, who was equally dumb-founded, "More duelists Kaisno damn it! I want another regiment of South Schoolers!"
Kaisno nodded, turning to his aide who was beside him.
Kong looked back at the screen, his face contorted with the utmost rage, "Samejima, for what you did to me, I won't ever lose!"

Drake stood facing a North Schooler. On his was giant demonic monster. He pointed toward the North Schooler. "Attack!" He yelled, and the demonic monster attacked the North Schooler with his axe, sending him flying. Drake snickered, "What are you doing, Kong?" He asked, looking into the air.

Samejima was dueling a duelist in a black uniform. On his field was a giant cybernetic ogre, its color silver steel. Samejima looked at his opponent with curiosity. "What school do you come from?" He asked, his giant monster beside him.
The man in black stood his ground, "Beh, my allegiance is only to my leader and Kong. I am the Special Forces for North School, defeat me if you want." He said, spitting onto the ground.
Samejima growled, pointing toward the duelist. "Cyber Ogre 2, attack him directly! Ultimate Burn!"
The cybernetic ogre moved toward the duelist, and its body became inflamed, moving toward the duelist and throwing him back. Samejima grunted, looking to duel more.

Judai looked at the dozens of defeated North Schoolers and South Schoolers around him. They all looked at each other, "What is this?" Judai asked.
"Big Brother, I don't even know." Sho said in response, panting.
Judai looked over and saw Ray and Adel back-to-back, dueling a group of North Schoolers. He ran to them, as did Sho and Kenzan. Ray had out Time Apprentice, while Adel had out Morning Star. Adel pointed toward the North Schooler, "Morning Star, attack him directly!"
The angel monster's staff suddenly became bright, enveloping everything in light. The North Schooler was thrown back. Ray's opponents, on the other hand, stood standing, angry at the loss of one of their own. Ray looked at his deck, and drew his card. "My turn! I sacrifice Apprentice of Time to summon Ruler of Time in attack!" When he finished, the young man became enveloped in smokes, and a giant, old man with blue robes on came in his place. "Increase your attack!" he yelled, and the giant magician became even bigger.
"Attack!" Ray roared. The magician suddenly lifted its staff and a beam of blue light hit the North Schooler's monsters. The North Schoolers were thrown back, and Ray smiled at Adel. He looked at Judai, who was cheering for him. "Great job Ray!" He yelled. Suddenly, more North Schoolers and South Schooler came, surrounding Judai, Sho, Kenzan, Adel and Ray. Ray growled, "C'mon, let's go!" Ray yelled.
"DUEL!" The six of them said.

At the docks, another ship arrived, carrying duelists from North School and South School. The whole island, every corner, every inch, was engulfed in war. Duelists were dueling on the beaches, near the dorms, some even in the cafeteria. The whole island had turned into a living hell. Samejima stood, looking, as Duelist Academiers were defeated as much as North Schoolers. Damn it, just a bit more, just a little bit more and we can change the tide!
He saw dozens of Duelist Acadimers thrown back. He cursed under his breath, turning on his duel disk to duel. We must endure and win! For this Academia, for this school, we must win!
* * * * *
A young Obelisk Blue girl was dueling a student in black. On her field was a giant snake. It was hissing and its mouth wide open. The girl pointed to the duelist, "Attack!" She yelled, and the giant snake came to the duelist in black and bit him, and sent the duelist to the ground. The girl scoffed, "For a Queen, you are merely a clown." She said, shaking her head, looking for more duelists to fight.
* * * * *

"DUEL!"

A young duelist was facing a South Schooler. He had out a giant battleship that was a hovering in the air. The duelist pointed at his South School opponent.
"Attack!" He yelled, to which the battleship shot a laser at the South Schooler, defeating him and sending him flying.
The boy lightly brushed his hair; barely visible was a tad of white in his hair. He looked over, seeing another South Schooler coming to face him. He turned on his duel disk, ready to fight.
* * * * *
Kong stood in his room, swearing dozens of words as he looked at the screen. "More! More! Defeat them, North School!"
Kaisno stopped talking to his aide, and looked back at Kong. His face was dripped with sweat, "Kong," He said, "I-I'm sorry. The rebels…they've…they've sabotaged our ships."
Kong looked at him, his face filled with rage. "What!?" he bellowed, "Damn you Kaisno, damn you!" Kong looked back at the screen, "Show him hell, North School! Make the Great War pale in comparison to this!"
* * * * *
Samejima stood over another defeated North Schooler, swearing from the almost endless amount of duelists North School had. He suddenly heard his PDA go off, and he picked it up. On the screen was a man with wild dark hair.
"Who's this?" Samejima asked, confused and distorted.
"I'm the leader of the rebels of South School, Headmaster Samejima." The man said, smiling.
"You're the leader of the rebels?" He asked, shocked.
"Aye sir." He said, giving a little salute.
"Why are you calling me!?"
"Well sir, just thought you might want to know that you won't have to worry about any more South School regiments. They don't have a boat to catch."
"You sabotaged the South School ships!?" He said, both shocked and happy.
The man's smile widened, "You can say that sir. Good luck, Headmaster, and wish us luck with our own fighting." His face turned serious, "Defeat Kaisno, Headmaster Samejima, defeat the man who has led South School to the brink of ruin. Who has allied herself with the likes of Kong's North School. Please, defeat him, Headmaster Samejima."
Samejima nodded, "I will! I'll defeat Kong and Kaisno!"
The man smiled, "Glad to hear." And the PDA went off. Leaving Samejima with renewed hope. We can do it!

A woman dressed in princess robes was dueling a Duelist Academier. On her field were three frogs, to which she smiled at. She pointed toward her Duelist Academia opponent, "Attack!" She yelled, and the frogs' tongue moved out of their mouths and hit the Academier, making him fall to the ground.
The princess looked at her three frogs, which turned into three princes. She smiled, looking for another duelist.
* * * * *
A man with glasses stood dueling a West Schooler. On his field was a comical cash register. My man pushed his glasses up, and smiled evilly. "I end." He said, "And you lose." The West Schooler looked at his deck; there were no cards. The man scoffed at him, looking for another duelist to duel.
* * * * *
"More!" Kong roared into the screen with the face of Monkey on it. "More duelists!"
Monkey looked at him shocked. "I-I don't have anyone else!" Kong roared in anger, and then talked through the walkie-talkie again, "I want the last regiment out here!" he yelled.
A sudden "Da." came through the walkie-talkie. Kong looked at Kaisno, "At least I have a regiment left!" He roared at him, consumed with anger.
Kong looked at the large screen again, and saw hundreds of duels going on. His face was contorted with anger. "Kill them North School! Kill them! Killl Samejima! Let his suffering be like mine!"
* * * * *
A man with dark hair stood facing a Duelist Academier. He had on his field a large man wearing a toga. He had graying hair, a huge beard and moustache.

The man with the dark hair laughed, and drank a glass of wine, looking around to find more Duelist Academiers to fight.
* * * * *
Samejima stood, panting, sweat coming down his face. He looked around; the tides seemed to be slowly turning. He saw North Schoolers getting thrown back more and more, though still a force to be reckoned with. He looked to duel, hoping for the victory.
"Duel!" He roared to North Schoolers coming by him. They both activated their duel disk, and began the duel.
* * * * *
A man with a clichéd evil-looking moustache and a large amount of hair was fighting a Duelist Academier. On his field was a giant robot; its face was a screen showing the number 2000. The man pointed toward his Academier opponent. "Calculator Robot, explode!" He yelled, and the monster exploded, sending the Duelist Academier flying. The man smiled, and looked to duel more Academiers.
* * * * *
Kong looked at the screen, showing North Schoolers and South Schoolers getting pushed back more and more by Duelist Academiers and her allies. "What!?" He roared, punching the wall with his fist. "They're defeating us!? Us!? Sons of a ****." He punched the wall again, his face contorted with anger.
Kaisno spoke, "If this keeps up, we may have to…"
But Kong cut him off, saying dozens of curse words. "Damn you Samejima, damn you! Why won't you die!?"
* * * * *
The fighting between North School and Duelist Academia was as intense as ever. Slowly, ever so slowly, North Schoolers seemed to be on the losing side, with more North Schoolers getting defeated. Some fell to the floor, others thrown into the air. Though North Schoolers started to suffer losses, it seemed like a battle that would never end.
* * * * *
Edogawa continued dueling Duelist Academiers, explosions occurring everywhere near him. He panted, but continued on, "For the fatherland, we must win!"
He looked at a Duelist Academier and cursed. He turned on his duel disk, "For North School, we will destroy Duelist Academia and her allies! The time of our revenge is now!" He looked at the Duelist Academier and roared, "DUEL ME!"
* * * * *
A short man with glasses on and spiky black was dueling a Duelist Academier. On his field was a soldier, a gun by his side and a card and duel disk symbol on his shoulder. The man pointed toward his opponent, "North Soldier, attack!" He yelled, and the soldier knelt to the floor and started firing at the Duelist Academier, sending him flying.
The man chuckled, "Pathetic North Schoolers." He said, looking to duel more.
* * * * *
Kong was in his room, his hands curled into fists shaking with anger. He looked at the screen, shouting dozens of curses. Kaisno stood by, his face serious. He spoke, "Kong, its time."
Kong roared, and threw a book at the wall.
* * * * *
Samejima looked at another defeated South Schooler, as the island, previously enveloped in smoke seemed to get calmer, though still in hell. Duelist Academiers were fighting North Schoolers and South Schoolers, O'Brien and Cobra with the West School regiment were fighting another, as was Amon and his East School division. "Will it ever be over?" Samejima asked, looking into the air, seeing nothing but smoke from battles.
Suddenly a voice came throughout the island, and everyone stopped dueling. It was Kong and Kaisno, using speakers to talk throughout the entire island.
"North Schoolers." Kong said, his voice having a restrained calm, "You've done well. But we can stop. This battle…is over. Stop dueling."
Kaisno spoke, "We are the same, South Schoolers. We have no more reason to fight." As they finished their words, hundreds of low hums came throughout the islands as every pro-North School duelist stopped dueling. For a couple of seconds, everything stopped: air, the ocean, even life.
Then, suddenly, cheers came throughout the island, shaking the very ground and making everything explode. It was louder than the explosions at its climax. Duelist Academiers cheered for their victory, a noise so loud that it was sure enough to wake the dead. Duelists threw up their duel disks, overjoyed at the victory of the battle. Everyone threw his or her hands into the air, breathing in the fresh air.
All of Osiris Red was cheering for Manjyome. Manjyome stood, his arms folded, smiling to have won. Osiris Red students pointed toward him admiringly, "Because of our Dear Leader, because of Manjyome!" They roared. Misawa looked at them with his North School battalion and shook his head, retreating back. Osiris Red students hollered, as did every dorm: Red, Yellow, Blue; all dorms cheered for their victory.
Amon and his East Schoolers jumped up and down, excited to win. "We've won! We've finally won! East School's might is finally known to the world! For East School!" One student took off his hat and threw it in the air, yelling, "For the Dream!" Every East Schooler followed, throwing their hats into the air and yelling, "For the Dream!"
O'Brien and Cobra were also cheering with their West School regiment. "The battle is over comrades! The sheer might of West School gave us the victory! For Sergei!" They roared, cheering like every dorm of Duelist Academia. O'Brien looked at Cobra, "We've won Professor! The might of West School shall be known!"
Cobra smiled, "Aye O'Brien. This battle is finally over." Cobra put up his fist, "For West School!"
Everyone else followed, "For West School!"
Judai, Sho and Kenzan jumped up and down, yelling in victory, "We won! We won!" They yelled. Near them, Ray was hugging Adel. He kissed her. "You were great." Ray said, to which Adel blushed. "As were you." Adel said in a smile, and Ray blushed. They both kissed in the explosions of cheers.
Even the neo-White dorm was yelling in victory. They had their hands in the hand, roaring for the victory. "To the neo-White dorm! To the Light!" They roared. They threw their duel disks into the air, and Ryker smiled, "For Saiou!" He yelled, and everyone yelled "For Saiou!" in support.
Chronos and Napoleon were celebrating with the other teachers, jumping up and down for the victory over North School. "It's a miracle de aru!" Napoleon yelled. Kabayman and Ayukawa were cheering for their victory as well. Satou stood away however, his glasses showing discontent as he moved back as his colleagues cheered.
Everywhere on the island, duelists of the different schools were cheering for the victory. It seemed like a party that would never end.
Samejima smiled, the battle over, the victory theirs. He looked at the pure destruction: dirt all over the place, things damaged; even some trees were bent or destroyed. But his heart was lifted. He looked into the sky and smiled. "We've won…"
~Chapter End
Notes:
- 'Tis D-Day, no?
- If anyone got it, there's dozens of cameos in this chapter. See whom you can find. Some are easy; others are not.
- Though it isn't shown very much, Duelist Academiers, as a result of the war between North School and them, have been just as extreme as North Schoolers. Though, as I said, it isn't shown much.
- Satou's "how wasteful" comment is a reflection that he believes that North School is a much better school as the students don't have a bad role model (Edogawa would be their role model, who believes in the power of the strong so everyone's determined to be better) unlike Duelist Academia which has the role model of Judai. Though he doesn't switch sides because he still has loyalties to Duelist Academia.
