Me: Hello there. Rua do the disclaimer.
Rua: Huh? Where's is the extremely funny opening thingy-mingy?
Me: I ran out of ideas…Now just do the disclaimer. On the sidenote I can't believe Thingy-Mingy is an actual word.
Rua: Gyaradosmaster doesn't own Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's. Do we seriously have to do this on every chapter?
Me: It's the rules. Well whatever. Enjoy the Chapter!
Sly expected lot of things when he wakes up. He expects seeing sunlight coming through window, he expects Bob snoring on his bed and he expects feeling of wanting to go back to sleep.
One of the things he wasn't expecting was Ruka hugging him on her sleep. ''When did this even happen? I thought she was supposed to sleep on the bottom bunk.'' Sly thought. He could already feel his face turning hot. He was about to leave the bed when Ruka hugged him even tighter. This obviously meant his face turned even redder.
''Sly…Sly…'' Ruka mumbled in her sleep. Sly looked at her confused. She was smiling, so he wondered what she was dreaming about. Suddenly her face turned into panicked one.
''No! Don't go! Sly I…'' She continued mumble in her sleep. Now Sly was worried. Maybe she was having a nightmare.
''Ruka! Wake up!'' Sly yelled and started to shake her in an attempt to wake her up. In his attempt though, both of them fell from the bed. At this Ruka's eyes fluttered open.
Like Sly, Ruka expects a lot of things when she wakes up. One of them wasn't Sly being completely in top of her. Yes they had fallen out from the bed, on top of each other. Both of their faces turned bright red.
''Umm…Sly…I'' Ruka said, but found herself being unable to say anything. Scratch that what she said in the library. There's no way to be closer of anyone's face than this. Expect when you're kissing someone. Also it didn't help that he still wasn't wearing his shirt.
''Ruka I…'' Sly said, but couldn't say anything. Neither of them stood up and simply lied there staring at each other.
''Wow! I did not want to see this.'' Amused voice said. Both Sly and Ruka turned their heads and saw Tenpei on the door smirking. ''First with Rua and Patty and now you guys. I guess I'm cursed to break romantic moments.'' Tenpei said and sighed. Both Ruka and Sly stood up blushing like maniacs.
''What do you mean by Rua and Patty?'' Ruka asked confused while trying to regain her composure.
''Back in the library I interrupted a moment between Rua and Patty. Actually it looked like they were going to kiss.'' Tenpei said smirking.
''I think I go and take a shower.'' Sly said not bothering to hear the rest of the conversation. Once he had entered the bathroom he put his hand on his forehead. ''Why? Why is this happening? I can't possibly love Ruka. It's impossible. But why does it feel so good when she is close to me, touches me, smiles at me… Argh! Get a hold of yourself Sly!'' Sly thought in his mind. He then went to shower to clear his head.
''Well anyway how did you end up in that position?'' Tenpei asked still amused.
''I'm not actually sure. When I woke up Sly was already on top of me.'' Ruka said. Tenpei looked surprised by this.
''How is that possible? I thought you slept on Bob's bed.'' Tenpei said. At this Ruka blushed even more.
''Well actually…at the middle of the night I woke up and felt really cold, so I…I slept next to Sly to get some warmth.'' Ruka said embarrassed to say it. Tenpei however smiled at her.
''Don't worry I won't tell anyone. I go to my room now.'' Tenpei and left the room. Ruka could still hear the shower running. She planned to take another peek at the deck.
She looked to the table, but it was not there. She then noticed some drawers. She opened it and saw the deck. With quick examine she noticed it was same deck as yesterday. She soon noticed something under the deck. It was a black book, well more of a notebook. She looked at the cover.
''Sly's Diary.'' Ruka read silently. One part of her wanted to return it to its original place, but other part wanted to check it a little. The latter part eventually won and she opened the book. She wanted to learn something new about Sly. It wasn't dusty so it must have been used recently.
As she browsed through the diary she noticed most of them being random. She noticed one entry was marked by a star. It was from the day when Tag Tournament started.
''Today Tag Tournament started and I was paired with Ruka. Not that I cared much about it. It was much more important day to me. It was an anniversary of my father's passing.'' Ruka read from it. She gasped as she read this. Sly's father is dead?
''I knew you were going to do this.'' Sly's voice said. Ruka turned around to see Sly wearing his clothes. But the shower was still running. ''I knew you were going to look at my new deck, so I left the shower on to catch you.'' Sly said. His voice didn't sound too angry, but there was clearly malice in it.
''I…I…''Ruka said trying to explain. Then Sly noticed diary in her hand. At this his eyes widened and he clenched his fists.
''You read my diary!'' Sly yelled angrily and quickly took the diary away from her. Ruka flinched at his tone. Normally it was harsh, but not this harsh.
''Sly I'm sorry I…'' She said, but Sly wasn't hearing it.
''Shut up! Get out of my room!'' Sly yelled in such voice that made Ruka almost cry.
''But I…'' Ruka tried, but Sly pushed her out of the room. Once she was out he locked the door. Ruka stared at the door with sad expression.
''Sly…'' She said. She noticed from the corner of her eye Patty approaching. She was for some reason blushing.
''What about Sly?'' Patty asked. Then she noticed hurt expression Ruka had. ''Did he hurt you?'' Patty asked concerned.
''It was actually other way around.'' Ruka said silently. Patty looked at her confused.
''Other way around?'' Patty asked and Ruka nodded.
''I found his diary and I started to read it, but then Sly caught me and got really angry at me.'' Ruka explained. Patty still looked at her confused.
''I doesn't sound that bad.'' Patty said. Then she noticed how guilty Ruka looked.
''I read something really personal. I read that Sly's father is… is...'' Ruka was trying to say, but was cut off when door opened revealing angry Sly.
''Ruka I want to talk you! Now!'' Sly demanded. Ruka was slightly intimidated by him, but then followed leaving Patty alone. Patty decided to go back to the Girl's dorms.
''Perfect.'' Twila thought. ''Lunar! Is The Skipper ready?'' Twila asked.
''Yes Twila.'' Lunar answered. He already knew what Twila was thinking so he sent The Skipper to meet his opponent.
Patty soon felt dark presence around her. Soon after, she noticed shadowy figure. ''Who are you?'' Patty asked reading her duel disk. Figure turned into a young man with black hair and black eyes.
''I'm The Skipper one of the Five Reinforcements. And now we shall duel!'' The Skipper said.
''So you're the same as the Mimicker…Fine I accept the duel!'' Patty said and both duelists activated their duel disks.
''Duel!''
Patty's LP: 4000
The Skipper's LP: 4000
Meanwhile Sly and Ruka had found a peaceful place where they could talk without anyone else hearing.
''Sly before you say anything… I'm sorry. I didn't mean to read something so personal. Please don't hate me for this.'' Ruka said suddenly interested in her shoes. She could hear him sigh.
''I don't hate you. But now that you know this, I might as well tell you… how my father died.'' Sly said in a strange tone that Ruka didn't recognize.
''I'll listen.'' Ruka said and Sly sighed. This was going to be tough.
''I'll start. I summon my Eleclemur in Defense Mode.'' Patty said and an electrical animal appeared.
Attr: Light Type: Thunder Atk: 800 Def: 100 Level: 2
''Then I activate Field Spell, Elecastle.'' Patty said and castle appeared on the background. It was yellow, blue and red in colors. ''Then I place a face-down. That's all.'' Patty said.
Patty's Hand: 3
''My turn. First I activate continuous Spell Card, Terminal World.'' Skipper said and weird looking machine appeared to the field. ''As long as this card remains in play both players must skip their Main Phase 2.'' Skipper said and smirked. ''Phase 2 Locked.'' Next I activate Cost Down. So now I discard one card to decrease the level of all monsters in my hand by 2. This means I can summon Timeater without a sacrifice.'' Skipper said and monster with clock inside it appeared.
Attr: Dark Type: Machine Atk: 1900 Def: 1500 Level: 3 Real Level: 5
''Then I place one face-down card. Now Timeater, destroy Eleclemur.'' Skipper said and Timeater punched the monster destroying it. ''Phase 1 Locked ''
''Thanks to Elecastle a monster that attacked Elec monster loses 1000 Attack Points.'' Patty said as castle shot electromagnetic field around Timeater.
Timeater Atk: 900
''I end my turn.'' Skipper said with an evil smirk.
Skipper's Hand: 1
''My turn! I…'' Patty was going to say until The Skipper laughed manically.
''What's so funny?'' Patty asked.
''Thanks to Timeater you must skip your Main Phase 1. Which means, no Main Phase 1 or Main Phase 2 for you.'' Skipper said. Patty looked shocked. Her turn aside from Draw Phase and Battle Phase was completely skipped.
Patty's hand: 4
''My mom was a card designer for Industrial Illusions and my father was a simple worker in a mine. Pretty weird combination, but I never minded. My mother has told me when they met. Her boss a son of Maxillion Pegasus wanted to visit mines so he could possibly get new ideas for cards. By luck they chose the one where my father was working. Well Pegasus had chosen to take my mother with him and they started to travel around the mine. My father noticed that the cave was collapsing and barely saved my mother. The two bonded from that moment on and sometime later well I was born.'' Sly explained. Ruka noticed he was wearing some of his rare smiles, but it was soon replaced by a frown.
''Since you can't do anything it is my turn. I can't attack because of your Eleclemur's effect, but there is something else I can do. I activate my Wave-Motion Cannon.'' Skipper said and large cannon appeared to the field.
''What does that do?'' Patty asked.
''You'll see soon. I summon a monster in face-down defense position then I end my turn.'' Skipper said.
Skipper's Hand: 0
''My turn this time for real! I summon Elecgiraffe in Attack Mode.'' Patty said and a yellow giraffe appeared.
Attr: Light Type: Thunder Atk: 1200 Def: 100 Level: 4
''I activate Threatening Roar. So now you cannot attack this turn.'' Skipper said smiking. Patty glared at him. His deck is starting to be annoying.
''I set one card face-down and I end my turn.'' Patty said.
Patty's Hand: 3
''My turn then! I flip summon my Morphing Jar, so now we both discard our hands and draw five new cards.'' Skipper said. He wasn't affected much as he had only one card. Both players drew new cards. ''Oh right… since the monster I discarded was Makyura the Destructor its effect lets me activate Trap Cards from my hand during this turn.'' Skipper said.
Morphing Jar: Attr: Earth Type: Rock Atk: 700 Def: 600 Level: 2
''Then I tribute my Morphing Jar to summon Helpoemer.'' Skipper said and a monster with a tombstone on its back appeared.
Attr: Dark Type: Fiend Atk: 2000 Def: 1500 Level: 5
''Now I use from my hand a Quick-Play Spell Shrink! This halves the attack power of one monster on the field and I choose my Helpoemer. I also place a face-down.'' Skipper said and Helpoemer shrunk in size.
''Why would you want to do that?'' Patty asked confused. Skipper however ignored the question.
''Helpoemer attack Elecgiraffe.'' Skipper surprisingly said attacking to a stronger monster.
''I don't know what you're trying to do, but it's not working. Elecgiraffe destroy Helpoemer.'' Patty said as giraffe fired a yellow beam that destroyed Helpoemer. Skipper however smirked once it went to grave.
Skipper's LP: 3800
''I now use Trap Card Reverse Trap. During this turn all increases and decreases in Attack and Defense Points are reversed. In other words since your Elecastle reduced my monster's attack by 1000 it now gains 1000 points instead of losing it.'' Skipper said and Timeater's attack power grew to 2900.
''Then came that day. I was nine-years old when it happened. My dad and his team were examining a new mine, when something unexpected happened. The cavern suddenly collapsed. The rescue team was sent to rescue them, but when they got to them it was too late. All of those workers including my dad had died. On closer inspection it was noticed there was some sort of gas in the cave that suffocated them.'' Sly said his face being both angry and sad. Ruka didn't say anything. She understood this was tough for him.
''Now Timeater destroy that Elecgiraffe.'' Skipper commanded and Timeater raised its fist.
''I activate Sakuretsu Armor. Now your attacking monster is destroyed.'' Patty said and revealed her Trap.
''I activate from my hand Trap Stun. This card negates the effects of other Trap Cards this turn.'' Skipper said as Sakuretsu Armor disappeared into nothingness. Elecgiraffe soon followed as it was destroyed by Timeater.
Patty's LP: 2300
Patty was shocked by the pain. The pain felt real.
''I end my turn.'' Skipper said his evil smirk never fading. At the end of his turn Timeater's Attack Points returned to 900.
Skipper's Hand: 0
''My turn and I…'' Patty said, but…
''Remember Timeater's effect? Since it destroyed a monster you can't enter your Main Phase 1. I also activate Magical Thorn. Now each time you discard a card you take 500 points of damage.'' Skipper said. Patty didn't understand why he activated that card. ''Also remember that since your Main Phase 1 is skipped you must enter your Battle Phase.'' Skipper said.
Patty did as he said, but she immediately quit her Battle Phase because she couldn't do anything. Suddenly a hand appeared from Skipper's graveyard. ''What's that?'' Patty said surprised.
''It's Helpoemer. Since it was destroyed by battle each time you quit your Battle Phase Helpoemer will take one card from you.'' Skipper said as ghostly hand took a trap card and discarded it to grave. ''Since you discarded a card Magical Thorn inflicts 500 points of damage.'' A thorny whip appeared from the trap card and whipped Patty causing her kneel to the ground.
Patty's LP: 1800
Patty's Hand: 5
''After my father died I cried for months. My mother wasn't any better as she also cried along with me. That's the first time I remember I had cried. Eventually she created the Gemknight cards as my father before his death had found bunch of rare jewels and gems. That's why I use them. They are my memento of him. It has been five years now, but I'm still not over it.'' Sly said finally stopping his story. Ruka noticed that he was almost crying and then hugged him. ''Ruka…'' Sly said surprised but nevertheless returned it.
''Thanks for telling me that.'' Ruka said silently.
''You're the first one I told that…Ruka I'm glad that I know you.'' Sly said surprising Ruka. Sly never talked like this.
''I'm glad to know you too. By the way what is that another deck?'' Ruka asked.
''They are another series of cards my mother has made. I guess she wants me to forget and move on.'' Sly said. They were still hugging, but neither one minded it.
''Hey you guys…What the hell are you doing?'' Extremely angry Rua said. Both turned to look at him and then at each other. Both jumped back once again blushing hard.
''R-rua! What do you want?'' Ruka asked. She was almost annoyed that he ruined her moment with Sly. Rua was glaring at Sly, who returned the glare.
''I was wondering have you seen Patty. I haven't heard of her in a while.'' Rua said, finally breaking his glare. At this Sly smirked.
''Isn't it sweet of you to worry about your girlfriend?'' Sly said. Rua went a little red at this.
''She's not my girlfriend! Anyway, have you seen her?'' Rua said and Ruka shook her head. Then she realized something.
''What if someone attacked her as well?'' Ruka said referring to her encounter with Mimicker.
''That's a possibility. Let's go look for her.'' Rua said and they ran off to find her. It didn't take too long to find her as the duel took place pretty close. ''Patty!'' Rua yelled once he noticed her.
''Rua!'' Patty said ignoring others. They quickly ran to her.
''Are you okay? Any injuries?'' Rua asked worried. Patty was touched that he was this worried.
''I'm fine.'' She said, but she was clutching her shoulder. On closer inspection they noticed it was bleeding a little.
''Can you hurry up?'' Skipper said impatiently. Rua glared at him.
''I end my turn.'' Patty said. Rua looked at her surprised and was even more surprised when he noticed she had monsters in her hand.
''Patty! Why didn't you summon anything?'' Rua said surprised.
''I can't! This guy keeps skipping my turns.'' Patty said staring at him. Once Rua saw the field he understood.
''My turn then. Now since Wave-Motion Cannon has been on the field for 2 of my Standby Phases I can send it to the grave to inflict 1000 points of damage for each Standby Phase. With two it makes 2000 points of damage.'' Skipper said as cannon shot a powerful beam.
''I discard Hanewata to reduce Effect Damage during this turn to 0.'' Patty said as yellow puffball appeared to the field and absorbed the damage before disappearing.
Patty's Hand: 4
''Fine then Timeater will attack you directly.'' Skipper commanded and Timeater raised its fists.
''I activate Eleckeeper to Special Summon from my grave Elecgiraffe in Attack Mode.'' Patty said and Giraffe appeared back to the field halting Timeater's attack.
''I end my turn.'' Skipper said. Due to the effect of Eleckeeper, Elecgiraffe was destroyed.
Skipper's Hand: 1
''My turn! I activate Double Summon to summon twice during this turn. So say hello to Elecpheasant and Eleckiwi.'' Patty said as two different kind of birds appeared.
Elecpheasant: Attr: Light Type: Thunder Atk: 1000 Def: 100 Level: 4
Eleckiwi: Attr: Light Type: Thunder/Tuner Atk: 600 Def: 100 Level: 3
''I now tune these two together; Legendary Thunder Monster will now appear here. Its Raging Thunderstorm will demolish everything! Synchro Summon! Lightning Ruler, Eleckirimu.'' Patty said and her ace monster appeared.
Attr: Light Type: Thunder Atk: 1500 Def: 1500 Level: 7
''Awesome Patty!'' Rua said impressed. Patty blushed a little and smiled.
''Now I play Elecube. However it won't be on the field for long as I send it to the grave to increase the attack power of Eleckirimu by 1000.'' Patty said smiling as her monster's Attack Points rose. ''Now Eleckirimu attack his Lifepoints directly.'' Eleckirimu raised its massive tail and shot huge thunder that hit directly.
Skipper's LP: 1300
''Thanks to the effect of Eleckirimu I can remove a card from my deck from play and during my 2nd Standby Phase after doing this I get it to my hand. And with that I end my turn.'' Patty said. However she still had a card left and it was taken by Helpoemer's effect. This caused Magical Thorn to whip her again
Patty's Hand: 0
Patty's LP: 1300
''My turn! I activate Card of Sanctity! Now we both draw until we hold six cards.'' Skipper said and both players drew six cards. ''Next I activate Delinquent Duo! By paying 1000 Lifepoints I can discard one random card from your hand and then you have to choose one card in your hand and send it to the graveyard.'' Skipper explained.
Skipper's LP: 300
Patty shuffled her hand face-down and discarded one card. She then turned them back face-up and discarded another one.
''Since you discarded two cards, you take 1000 points of damage.'' Skipper said and two whips slashed her causing her to kneel down. Her shoulder was bleeding horribly.
Patty's LP: 300
Patty's Hand: 4
Rua couldn't take this. Patty hasn't ever dueled this kind of duel before. She couldn't survive it.
''Patty, you have to stop the duel. You haven't dueled this kind of duel before! It's too dangerous.'' Rua said worried. Ruka couldn't help, but smile at his brother. He was finally starting to realize.
''No…I…can do it.'' Patty said in a weak voice and stood up. Rua looked at her worried, but then nodded.
''I place three cards face-down and I end my turn.'' Skipper said with an evil smirk.
Skipper's Hand: 2
''My turn! I…'' Patty started only to be interrupted by Skipper again.
''I activate Battle Mania! This card forces your monsters to attack this turn. So this means you must enter your Battle Phase and as soon as you end it. Your Lifepoints will hit 0.'' Skipper said.
''But that guy only has 300 Lifepoints. Direct Attack from Eleckirimu will finish him.'' Rua said confused.
''He probably has a Trap card that negates attacks.'' Ruka said. Skipper smirked at this.
''Clever girl. And just to make sure I have my Kozaky's Self-Destruct Button set, so if he tries to destroy my Face-Downs I have a nice surprise.'' Skipper said, being sure of his victory.
''I activate a Spell Card, Bait Doll! Now I choose one Face-Down card on the field and force its activation. If the Activation Timing is incorrect that card is destroyed.'' Patty said. ''It's all gamble here!'' She thought. ''I choose…the Right one.'' Patty said and pointed at the card. It revealed itself to be…Draining Shield. Since its timing was incorrect it was destroyed.
''No way!'' Skipper said surprised. However his worry soon turned to smirk.
''Now Eleckirimu! Attack him directly.'' Patty ordered. Yes! This duel is finally…
''Not so fast! I discard my Kuriboh to reduce Battle Damage to 0.'' Skipper said surprising everyone.
''What? This is impossible!'' Patty said shocked. She had no other choice, but to end her turn.
''Since you ended your Battle Phase…Helpoemer discards one card and Magical Thorn whips 500 points of damage.'' Skipper said. Ghostly hand took another card and trap card whipped Patty final time.
Patty's LP: 0
''Patty!'' Rua yelled worried kneeling over her. She was bleeding horribly. Rua then glared at Skipper. ''Why did you do that?'' Rua yelled enraged.
''Those were Chaos Commander Lunar's orders. That's our only mission.'' Skipper said. Rua then got even angrier.
''Where is he? I will beat that guy to the next week.'' Rua said angrily.
''I cannot reveal that. In order for you to know their location, you must still beat more Reinforcements. However I must go now. My only purpose was to duel one of the prophecy. To disappear into nothingness, that's our only destiny.'' Skipper said and soon disappeared.
''Patty…Patty.'' Rua kept saying. She had gone unconscious after the duel. Ruka also looked at her with worry.
''Let's take her to our room.'' Ruka said, since Obelisk Blue dorm was nearby.
''Okay.'' Rua said and they went off Rua carrying Patty. Sly also followed them.
Shado was smirking to himself. At least one of them is weak. It would be easy to crush her.'' Shado thought.
''I'm surprised that someone in the Prophecy is that weak.'' Shado said insultingly. Twila was also there with a calm look on his face.
''Yes…her power seems to be weaker of the others.'' Twila said. Suddenly Lunar ran to the room with an alarmed look.
''Twila! There's an error in the Prophecy!'' Lunar yelled. Twila looked at him in disbelief.
''That's impossible! Prophecy does not have any errors.'' Twila said, but Lunar insisted that he would come to check. They left the room leaving Shado alone.
Twila and Lunar quickly walked to the room where the Prophecy laid. Twila glanced at it, but he didn't see anything wrong.
''I don't see anything wrong.'' Twila said.
''Look at this part. First it's told about the third Reinforcement The Perfect Counterer, but after that it skipped to another subject. It didn't tell the last two Reinforcements.'' Lunar said panicked. If the Prophecy didn't tell them what to do, they couldn't do anything.
''Luckily Master had a backup plan in case the Prophecy would fail. He said that if the Reinforcements would not be shown, we can use The End.'' Twila informed shocking Lunar. He was shocked for two reasons, 1: The Master predicted that The Prophecy could fail and 2: The Master allowed them to use such a powerful duelist as The End. But then he broke into a wicked smile.
''That's fine. I'm sure he would love to destroy them.'' Lunar said and started to laugh.
…...
Me:…I can't think of anything to say.
Patty: I can't believe you made me lose.
Me: Yes shocking isn't it? I probably surprised most of the readers.
Ruka and Sly: ''Blushing while looking at anything else than each other.''
Me: Wow! I just made them hug for extremely long…not to mention fall on top of each other and this is what happens. I wonder what happens when I make them kiss.
Sly and Ruka: ''Blushing even more''
Me: Okay this is getting boring…Next chapter's Preview if you please.
''What! Why are you leaving?
''You saw yourself that I'm too weak! It's better if I leave!''
''This took me a while to realize, but…I love you.''
''My name is Perfect Counterer! You can't do anything against me.''
Next on! Duel Academy 5D's Style! Third Enemy! Tearful Decision!
''Maybe she has strong power after all…''
Me: Next Gyaradosmaster's Hints: Bountiful Artemis and Morphtronic Accelerator.
Rua: Hey! Wasn't your sister supposed to do that?
Me: Actually I have fixed these past chapters myself. Also here's another note for you readers. Chapters will probably be updated extremely fast since my friend wants to see the cards we made up ourselves. I can tell you that they appear in Chapter 16.
