Duel Academy Excitement
Redux Edition - Written by SubZeroGreymon and Smittyboy
Chapter 13 – The New Students Arrive! Esper Girl's Advanced Form?
It was a quiet day at our ever lovely Duel Academy when…
"Ugh, SO BORED!" Haruhi shouted so loudly, those passing the dorms gave a double take.
"And what do you expect me to do?" Kyon asked as he took a sip from his tea.
"You're an SOS Brigade member! Think of something!" She shouted.
"Do your homework!" Jaden called from sitting in front of the procured TV.
"That's a good idea, you should do it, Jaden." Syrus shot back.
"I'll get to it." He half-heartedly replied.
"Er, shouldn't you just say you're not doing it?" Éclair asked.
"Regardless, I'm still BORED!" Haruhi whined.
Suddenly, lo-and-behold, there was a knock at the door.
"Well, I've got nothing." Haruhi shrugged.
"Um, the door…" Kyon began.
"Eh, it isn't anyone important." She quickly answered, before balancing a pencil on her upper lip.
After a few seconds…
The door was kicked in! And Takato was standing there.
"What the hell?" He shouted.
"Hey, it was no one important." Misaka noted.
"You stupid- Wait, I'm not here to threaten you today." Takato said.
"Then what do you want?" Jaden asked.
"I have a task that I need you to do." He answered.
"It better not be another light bulb, the west wing still doesn't have power." Kyon replied.
"Yeah, not my best move. Anyway, come with me." Takato said flatly.
Takato led them outside, where they were greeted by a lovely sight, Kaede Sakura!
Takato walked over and stood beside Kaede, "Alright, here's your task. Kaede here has never played Duel Monsters before. I'd like you, Haruhi, to be her first opponent."
"Me play a newbie? Sure, why not. " Haruhi replied.
"Thank you, my name's Kaede, pleased to meet you!" She said with a smile.
"Excellent, have fun." Takato said before walking off.
"Alrighty, let's do this!" Haruhi shouted, and whipped out her duel disk.
"Aw, man, I wanted to duel!" Jaden whined from the side.
"No one wanted to see you get your ass handed to you." Kyon deadpanned.
Kaede: 4000
Haruhi: 4000
"I'll start!" Kaede announced.
"I'll set a face-down monster! That's it." Kaede concluded.
"Well, not the flashiest first turn… Draw!" Haruhi replied.
"I summon Silent Psychic Wizard! (1900/0) !"
"Now, Wizard, attack her face-down!" Haruhi commanded.
The wizard shot beam of light, destroying the face-down.
"Haha, I knew you'd do that!" Kaede laughed, "My monster was Horseytail, whenever Horseytail is destroyed by battle, I get a token (0/0) !"
"Hm… I dunno what you're up to, but I don't care! I end!" Haruhi shouted.
"Then it's my turn, and I activate Fires of Doomsday! It lets me summon two more tokens!" Kaede beamed.
In a burst of fire, two tokens appeared, in the form of weird torches with eyes.
Kaede got a warm expression, "I'll set one face-down and end."
Haruhi gave a worried look, "Well, I summon Serene Psychic Witch (1400/1200) !"
The witch appeared, ready for battle.
"My Witch will attack your token!"
Serene Psychic Witch began to rush, but stopped suddenly.
"What the-"
"Sorry, Suzumiya, but I activate Threatening Roar! You can't declare an attack this turn!" Kaede said happily.
"Well, I set a face-down and end my turn!" Haruhi replied.
"My turn!" Kaede said, drawing her card, "Oh, this'll be cool! I tribute my two Doomsday tokens in order to summon… Cosmo Queen (2900/2450) !"
A monster appeared with a massive crown and robes, and large hands.
"Ew." Haruhi said.
"Not done, now I activate double summon, which allows me to have an additional summon, and I summon Steel Scorpion (250/300) !"
A scorpion-like machine suddenly burrowed out from underground.
"I'll add on, I activate Machine Duplication! I get two more scorpions!" Kaede shouted.
Two more machines appeared from underground.
"Not bad, but now you're field is full! What'll you do?" Haruhi asked with a tone of superiority, along with a bit of nervousness.
Kaede looked at Haruhi, and a twisted smile appeared on her face, "Let me show you… I Overlay my three Steel Scorpions!"
The sky grew a familiar type of dark, clouds rolling in.
"The Overlay Network is opened, the galaxy bows to her highness, and she appears! I Exceed Summon…"
In a flash of light, a royally dressed woman with a white complexion and long, purple hair appeared.
"Number 83: Galaxy Queen (500/500) !"
"Ugh, not these numbers things again!" Haruhi complained.
"What the hell? Why does Kaede have a Number?" Kyon shouted to no one in particular.
"I am detecting a similar variation of anomaly from the Leviathan Dragon." Yuki answered emotionlessly.
"Hehe, I'm not done, Suzumiya..." Kaede said with a creepy snicker, "Now I activate Tribute to the Doomed, this lets me destroy one of your monsters, and I choose Silent Psychic Wizard!"
From underground, a massive amount of bandages shot up, wrapping themselves around the wizard, and dragging him underground.
"Gah! Not good!" Haruhi said finically.
"Now my Comso Queen will destroy your Witch!" Kaede shouted with glee.
The Queen opened her hand, and destroyed the witch in one swipe.
Haruhi: 2500
Kaede: 4000
"Uh-oh! But now I get an effect! I remove Esper Girl from my Deck, and I get her next standby phase! Oh and I'll also remove the top card of my deck from play, then I get it when she returns during my standby phase!" Haruhi announced.
"Hehe, doesn't matter, I use Galaxy Queen's ability! By detaching a material monster, none of my monsters can be destroyed!" Kaede laughed, "Now go on!"
"You're starting to creep me out… Anyway, I draw! And now Esper Girl comes to my field, and I get the card she removed!"
A small portal opened up, and Esper Girl popped her cute little head out, and took a quick look around, "Eek! Haruhi, why would you summon me here? I don't wanna get destroyed!" Esper Girl cried.
"Just get out here!" Haruhi shouted.
Esper Girl timidly came out, trembling at Kaede's monsters.
"You've gotta be kidding, you just summoned your partner to get destroyed!" Misaka shouted.
Kaede looked at the trembling Esper Girl, "Are you kidding? You summoned a little girl to battle my monsters? She looks like she's gonna wet herself!"
Haruhi looked at Esper Girl, then got a sick look on her face.
"Well, I'm in trouble now," Haruhi noted, "Now, only Esper Girl's here to protect me."
"Well, it's not my fault I'm so low-level," Esper Girl replied, still trembling.
"Oh well, it's still my turn!" Haruhi shouted, "I play Pot of Greed!"
Drawing two cards, Haruhi looked at them. One was a Monster Reborn, and the other –
"Never seen this card before!" Haruhi noted, "But hey, I'll take any chance I get! I tribute Esper Girl to summon – THIS!"
"Esper Girl – DUEL SHINKA!" Esper Girl bellowed, as she exploded into light… only to be replaced by herself looking older, with more interesting clothing, a cross between her old outfit and a longcoat. Her mace was replaced with a massive sword-chainsaw-thing.
"Esper Magus! (2500/2100)" The new monster shouted.
"Woah, this is awesome!" Haruhi shouted with excitement.
Esper Magnus looked down at herself before doing a little spin, and smiling.
She turned to Haruhi, "Oh, this outfit is so cool! I love this!"
"Wow, looking good!" Haruhi said, giving her monster a thumbs up.
"Too bad it won't help." Kaede shouted, "Your little girl might've grown up, but she's still no match for my queens!"
"You think so?" Haruhi asked causing Kaede to lose her smirk.
"What do you mean?" Kaede asked darkly.
"You'll have to wait and see!" Haruhi shouted.
"Now, Magus, attack her Galaxy Queen!" Haruhi commanded.
Esper Magus jumped in front of Galaxy Queen and swung through, shattering Galaxy Queen. But then, said pieces shot back together, recreating her.
Haruhi: 2500
Kaede: 2000
"Ugh," Kaede groaned, "That hurt, but my monsters can't be destroyed by battle!"
"And that's where Esper Magnus' ability kicks in, if Esper Magnus attacks a monster you control, but the monster isn't destroyed, I can select one other monster you control, destroy it, and inflict damage equal to that monster's attack!" Haruhi shouted.
"Wait, WHAT?" Kaede questioned in horror.
"Now, Magus, destroy Comso Queen!" Haruhi commanded.
Esper Magus pushed a button on her weapon, causing the chainsaw to active. She then threw it at Cosmo Queen, causing a massive explosion!
"Gah, there's no way!" Kaede gasped.
When the dust cleared, Cosmo Queen had been destroyed, and the chainsaw blade was lodged in the ground, until Esper Magus removed it.
Haruhi: 2500
Kaede: 0000
"Too bad," Kaede smiled, "I almost thought I was going to win my first!"
"Nobody wins their first," Haruhi replied, "And how'd you manage to even get into this school?"
Kaede shrugged and left.
"Why do I have a feeling she isn't a good guy?" Kyon asked out loud.
Later than night, at Takato's hideout…
"Hmm… So that's Haruhi's new ace…" Takato thought out loud.
"Whatcha thinkin about?" Izaya asked.
"That new monster of Haruhi's…" Takato answered.
"Well, I just though I'd let you know, the last of the transfer students for this year will be arriving tommorow!" Izaya shouted.
"I don't care." Takato responded.
"But these one's will be special!" Izaya said in a sing-song voice.
"Any further transfer students can go join the SOS Brigade, I don't need any more pawns." Takato deadpanned.
"Well, I'll let you know, there is a vampire, an ice woman, a succubus, a young witch and a half-human, half-vampire!" Izaya said happily again.
"Strange… I didn't expect these students…" Takato grumbled, "Oh well, they can join the SOS Brigade, it doesn't matter how many freaks they get, it won't make a difference. My plan will succeed no matter what. "
"Oh, my! Well then, farewell!" Izaya waved before leaving.
On the ship approaching Duel Academy…
An extremely cute girl with long pink hair, green eyes, and a choker collar with a small cross on it was standing on the top of the deck, thinking.
She was thinking out loud, "So, this'll be our new home for a while… I hope the humans here as nice as Tsukune…"
"Moka, you'll catch a cold out there!" A boys voice called from below deck.
"I'm coming, Tsukune!" She answered.
