School Duel Part 1 Tag Duel
It had been nearly a week since Duel Academy had chosen Jaden Yuki to be their representative at the School Duel against North Academy in the singles Duel. Today was when North Academy arrived and first they would have the Tag Duel and then the Singles Duel. Right now Jaden was in the Duelling Arena where he would be Duelling the Singles representative from North Academy later today.
Jaden had his Duel disk activated and he was using it to bring a few of his monsters out "Come on out Elemental Hero Avian!" he said and he placed Avian onto his Duel disk and the spirit of Avian appeared "And now Burstinatrix!" the spirit of Burstinatrix appeared as well "And while we're at it, Clayman, Sparkman, you guys come out too!" The spirits of Clayman and Sparkman appeared on the field "Oh yeah, I've got the sweetest monsters ever. With you guys with me, we'll beat whoever North Academy throws our way."
"Hey there you are." A voice called and Jaden turned to see Syrus as well as Solona and Daylen running towards him.
"We've been looking all over the island for you" Solona groaned
"What are you doing here" Daylen said "Everyone is waiting for you."
"For me? Why?" Jaden questioned
"For the Meet and Greet." Syrus confirmed "North Academy has just arrived, your opponent is here."
"Then what are you waiting around here for?" Jaden questioned as his monsters faded and then he jumped off the Duelling Arena "Let's go."
"Jaden we were looking for you!" Solona yelled and Daylen groaned
"He never listens does he." He said
Syrus sighed "Well the Tag Duellists for North Academy are here as well so we should go see them as well."
...
At the docks, Chancellor Sheppard as well as Dr Crowler and Professor Dorian were there with many of the students and a Submarine with North Academy had just docked. A man was leaving the submarine, he was wearing a baggy brown shirt and black trousers and he wore glasses and a white Headband.
"Foster, it's been far too long" Sheppard greeted as they shook hands "How've you been?"
"I've been well" Foster, the chancellor of North Academy said "Ever since I got over the defeat you handed me last year."
"Oh it was a close match" Sheppard chuckled
"Not really" Foster mumbled "But this year, I have a feeling it will be."
"Yes I'm sure it will be this time" Sheppard chuckled "To a spirited Duel between our two schools and our tag duel as well."
"Hey so when do I meet my opponent?" Jaden asked quickly as he made his way to the front "I want to meet him. I want to meet him."
"Jaden don't be rude!" Solona hissed as she and Daylen came up behind him.
"Yes we are getting to that" Sheppard said as he ignored Jaden being rude and then he introduced Jaden to his old rival. "Jaden I would like to meet Chancellor Foster of North Academy so you should treat him with respect."
"Jaden!" Foster greeted "So you're Duel Academy's representative for the singles Duel" he was confused as to why they were using a Slifer Red Student and then Foster turned to the Amell twins "And you must be the Amell twins" he greeted to Solona and Daylen "I use to watch your father on TV when he was still a Duellist. He would be proud to see his children following in his footsteps."
"Thank I guess" Daylen replied
"Ironic isn't it" Foster laughed "Our representatives are twins as well."
Jaden then looked excited "So when do I meet my opponent? Who will I be Duelling, where is he?"
"Right here slacker!" A voice hissed and a few of Duel Academy students gasped
"I'm sure I've heard that voice before" Daylen said
"I have too" Solona groaned "And I know who that voice belongs to."
"Who said that?" Jaden asked
"I did" the same voice called and then everyone turned and were shocked by what they saw, it was Jaden's old Duelling rival, Chazz Princeton. He was no longer wearing his Obelisk Blue Blazer and was wearing a Black blazer of North Academy and was surrounded by North Academy students. "Wait, am I seeing things or is that Chazz Princeton."
"You got that right slacker!" Chazz hissed
"So why are you here?" Daylen questioned
"For the Duel that's what" Chazz confirmed
"I think they'll sold out of tickets" Jaden said as he was confused which caused Solona to sweat drop
"Jaden he's in the Duel" she said
"Like as a ref?" Jaden asked
Chazz growled "I'm duelling you in the singles Duel."
"Wait your North Academy's Duel Representative?" Jaden asked shocked "Since when did you transfer."
"Since I stopped getting the respect I deserved here" Chazz confirmed
"That's right!" a few North Academy students agreed
"He couldn't get respect here so he'll take it" one students said
"He'll Chazz you up" another added
Chazz then smirked at Aedan who was in the crowd watching "And you Aedan, I will show you why you can't be the best if you still by those losers."
Aedan narrowed his eyes "I keep telling you, respect is earned not given."
Jaden and Chazz stared at each other as they thought about the upcoming Duel but then suddenly the Wind began picking up which caused everyone to take cover.
"What's going on?" Daylen demanded
"That's what's happening" Solona revealed and she pointed up to the sky where there were a few Helicopters flying low. In one Helicopter had two older men, one had spiky black hair while the other had a small black beard and thick black hair and they were both wearing suits.
"Hey Chazz" the one without the beard said
"What's going on little brother?" the other said "Mind if we join you?"
"Slade! Jagger!" Chazz shouted over the helicopter blades "What are you doing here?"
"Why else brother" the bearded man known as Slade said "To see your Duelling victory."
"You are going to win aren't you little brother." Jagger added as the helicopter landed and the two brothers stepped out.
"That's it beautiful!" a new voice shouted "Just act natural!" then the area was swarmed by people with huge filming cameras, wires and many electrical devices.
"Set up Camera 1!" one voice called out
"We're nearly ready on Cameras 2 and 3!" another voice called out
Foster looked at the people with the Cameras "What's going on?" he demanded
"What's going on?" a man who looked like a director "I think you mean when are you going on? The answer is primetime baby. This School Duel is going to be broadcast worldwide."
"No way me on TV!" Jaden gasped "My face printed across the world in full colour and full stereo."
"Jaden you need to stop acting all excited" Solona scoffed "You'll get distracted."
Slade and Jagger smirked "Well we need a word with our brother alone." They said and then they walked off with Chazz in tow though everyone missed Aedan glaring at the two older Princeton brothers.
"Well I should prepare for my Duel with my old rival" Jaden said
"You go on ahead Jay" Daylen said "Solona and I are going to see who we are Duelling."
"Okay" Jaden answered "Good luck!"
Once Jaden left, most of the Duel Academy and North Academy students left leaving only a few behind. "So who do you think we'll be facing in our Tag Duel?" Solona asked her brother.
"Well Chancellor Sheppard did say that our Tag Opponents were also a group of twins as well." Daylen replied "I hope we get a challenge though."
"So you two will be our opponents" a voice called and then Solona and Daylen turned to see two people stepping off the Submarine. They looked very similar to each other with both wearing Black blazers and brown trousers and they both had thick long brown hair and brown eyes. One was a girl while the other was a boy. The girl also wore a headband around her head and the boy had been the one who spoke.
"I see that we are also facing a group of twins" the girl spoke "My name is Evelyn Trevelyan, this is my brother Maxwell."
"It's nice to meet you two." Maxwell spoke and he put his hand out for Daylen to shake which Daylen shook.
"I've heard about you two" Evelyn added "You both have some powerful cards, I'm looking forward for a challenge."
"Well I hope to have a challenge too." Solona said
"Hey Maxwell, Evelyn" a voice called and Solona turned to see a younger boy with bluish hair coming of the sub "You said you would help me with my deck."
"Okay Jessie, we'll be there to help" Maxwell said and then he looked at the Amell twins "We'll see you two later at the Duel."
"Okay, see you then" Solona said and then the two of them went off to prepare their decks.
...
"You set it up didn't you!" Chazz growled at his brothers "This whole broadcast."
"Well of course we did" Slade replied "We need the world to see that you're well on your way to becoming Duel Monster's best. It's all part of the plan"
"Yeah yeah" Chazz grumbled
"Look World Domination is ours for the taking if we all do our part Chazz!" Jagger hissed
"And we've done our part so it's your turn bro" Slade added "To conquer the World of Duel Monsters, to be the best"
"And to not give up!" Jagger added "Did you really think you could get away from your duties, to get away from us by dropping out of Duel Academy"
"I... I..." Chazz started but was interrupted by Jagger
"Don't deny it!" he snarled "You have always been the Slacker of this family!"
"It doesn't matter!" Slade added "The point is you can still turn it around, you can still show the world that we're supreme."
"That's right" Jagger replied and he held up a briefcase "And the Duelling cards in this Briefcase are going to do just that. They're the most expensive out there so you have no excuse to lose" Jagger then dropped the briefcase in front of Chazz "Don't let us down Chazz! Don't let the Princeton name down! It's all on you, now go and win!" Chazz was actually looking a bit worried as now he was under stress and pressure from his own brothers.
...
Later, Jaden was running down one of the hallways with a hairbrush and a can of shampoo "Man if I'd known I was going to be on TV I would have combed my hair, I might have even washed it, I'd probably even showered."
Chazz was in a bathroom and he slammed his hands against a mirror "Man up Chazz!" he growled to himself "Man up."
Chazz had no idea that Jaden was right outside and was listening to what Chazz was saying "Come on show them that Chazz Princeton is no slacker, that you're worthy of the Princeton name. That you can win and then you can keep winning." Chazz hissed and then he fell to his knees and a few tears fell as he was under pressure "Over and over, that you're the best. You've got to do your part Chazz; you've got to show them that you're supreme. It's your duty; it's the plan. Now go and win, go and win!"
Jaden watched and then he could see that Chazz seemed to be scared of failing "Chazz seems to be under pressure, maybe I should talk to Solona and Daylen about this, maybe they'll know what is going on." Jaden whispered to himself
...
Meanwhile, Solona and Daylen were in the library as they were sorting through their cards. Solona was still using her Dragon deck while Daylen used his spellcasters though they both added in a few new cards for them to use it the Duel, they had a feeling that this Duel was going to be a challenge but the Amell twins liked to have a challenge.
"So my two children are teaming up in a Tag Duel" a voice came and the two of them gasped and they saw a woman with short black hair and dressed in normal clothing "Mom?" the Amell twins said at the same time.
Solona and Daylen's mother, Revka Amell smiled at them "Did you two think that I would miss out on my Children duelling in a big event?" she joked but then sighed sadly "I just wished Aristide could be here, he would have been proud of the two of you."
Solona looked sad and she clutched her Dragon engraved pendent "I just wished that dad was here. I miss him." She said as she tried to stop tears falling from her eyes.
Daylen hugged his sister before he looked at Revka "So mum, I don't want to be rude but why did you want to see us? The look in your eyes tells me that there is something going on."
Revka sighed "It's just with your father gone I've had to run his part of Card designing and I'm under pressure from a set of two brothers. The ones who are here now, Slade and Jagger Princeton."
Solona gasped "Chazz' brothers."
"Those two are ambitious." Revka revealed "They seek World domination, to control the world of politics, finance and Duel Monsters. They ruthless and they seek money and to show that they're in charge. They're also not afraid to use illegal activities like blackmail and fraud. I was the one who funded the film crews to film both the Single and Tag Duel but those Princeton brothers forged documents to say they funded the crews. Though the lead film crew worker is one of my workers."
It was then that Jaden came in and he looked at Solona and Daylen "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to interrupt." He apologized when he saw that they were talking with someone.
"It's okay Jaden" Daylen replied "Jaden this is our mother, Revka Amell. Mother, this is our friend, Jaden Yuki and Duel Academy's representative in the singles duel."
"Well it's nice to meet you" Jaden smiled at Revka and then he looked at Solona and Daylen "I just saw Chazz in the bathroom, he seemed to be crying about something and saying that he must show them that he's the best. Do you know what's wrong with him?"
"From what I heard, it must have something to do with Chazz's brothers" Solona revealed
"Maybe Aedan will know" Daylen added "He has known Chazz longer than us."
"Will I know what" a voice came and then they saw Aedan in the doorway "I just came to look for you to say good luck."
"Well I just saw Chazz in the bathroom looking worried" Jaden revealed "Do you know why he is like that."
Aedan sighed "Well I have known Chazz a long time." He said "The truth is that Chazz is under pressure from his brothers. In fact, those two are the reasons why Chazz is like this."
"Upset?" Jaden asked
"Well yes but that's not what I mean." Aedan replied "I mean as an elitist Snob. Chazz wasn't always like this, me and him went to Duelling prep school together and was always a friendly duellist and he liked to have a challenge. A bit like you Jaden, he was always after a challenge. He was a great Duelist and his favourite card, Light and Darkness Dragon was his ace monster."
"What changed?" Solona asked
"His brothers" Aedan revealed "After Chazz's older brothers came into his life more, they started pushing him around saying that he was going to be the next King of Games. The pressure changed him and he became more arrogant and horrible to younger people and our friendship began to fall apart." Aedan then reached into his pocket and he brought out a card which was revealed to be Light and Darkness Dragon. "Slade and Jagger even made Chazz get rid of his favourite card as they believed that it was a distraction."
"So wait, you kept this card all this time?" Jaden gasped
"Yes, I always said that I would return it to him when Chazz finally saw reason and forgot about his brothers." Aedan replied and then he handed the card to Jaden "Here, I know it doesn't go with your deck but maybe you can use it to help Chazz understand that Duelling is about having fun."
"Thanks Aedan, I'll make good use of it." Jaden said
"Hold up Jaden, I have something for you as well" Solona said and then she handed Jaden the card that the reporter Gerald gave her "I got this card and it goes with your Elemental Heroes, it might help you in your Duel."
"Thanks Solona" Jaden replied
"Well me and Solona should get down to the Duelling Arena" Daylen said "The Tag Duel goes first and then the singles."
...
Soon everyone was in the Duelling Arena. The film crews had set up some areas for the Cameras in order to allow them to film the Duels and all of the students of each school were sat in the area where their Representative would be duelling from with Duel Academy students sitting behind where Solona and Daylen would Duel and later Jaden. North Academy students were sitting behind where Maxwell and Evelyn would be duelling and later Chazz. Chancellor Sheppard was sitting next to Chancellor Foster in the North Academy section. The first Duel would be the Tag Duel and then the Singles Duel. Chazz and Jaden sat off to the side while all of the other students sat in their seats as they watched as the four Duellists for the Tag Duel took their places.
Crowler was the one who introduced everyone "Welcome students of Duel Academy, Students of North Academy and everyone watching these Duels on TV. Welcome to the annual School Duels between two of the greatest Duelling Schools in the world. Our first Duel will be the Tag Duel. Please Welcome from Duel Academy, the Amell twins, Solona Amell and her Twin brother Daylen Amell." The Duel academy students all cheered "And then from North Academy, another group of Twin Duellist. Please welcome the Trevelyan twins of North Academy. Maxwell and Evelyn Trevelyan." The North Academy students all cheered for their Tag Duelling representatives. Now let the Tag Duel begin." Crowler got off the stage and went to sit on the side along with Jaden and the Amell twin's mother, Revka Amell.
Evelyn smiled at her rivals "Hey good luck in your Duel but I'm not going to go easy on you"
"I hope not" Daylen replied
"Duel!"
S + D: 8000
E + M: 8000
"Well you guys can go first." Maxwell added
"Thanks" Solona said and she drew a card "I'll start by summoning Kaibaman in attack mode." The monster which looked like Seto Kaiba with long red hair appeared on the field (Level 3 Attack 200 Defence 700) "Though he won't be here for long as now I activate his special ability, now by tributing him, I can special summon my great Blue Eyes White Dragon from my hand in attack mode." The great white scaled dragon with blue eyes appeared on the field in attack mode (Level 8 Attack 3000 Defence 2500)
Everyone stared in awe at the powerful dragon. Slade and Jagger stared at the monster for a while "How does this girl have a card like that in her deck?" Slade questioned
"Well I've heard about this girl" Jagger said "She is the daughter of Aristide Amell, a great Duellist who went missing a few years ago and also worked as a card designer."
Slade then noticed the film crew "Hey wait why are the film crew filming this Duel?" I thought we told them to film our brother."
"Yeah but hey we'll make more money this way." Jagger chuckled "Because now the longer we film, the more money we make." Slade laughed at that.
Revka smiled at her daughter "That's my girl."
Solona then finished her move "I place one card facedown and end my turn."
Evelyn then went next "Impressive" she said "A rare and powerful monster on your first turn. But now it is my turn and I summon Darklord Nurse Reficule in attack mode." A four winged bat with purple hair and bandages wrapped around her body appeared in attack mode (Level 4 Attack 1400 Defence 600)
"A Darklord deck" Bastion said "This is going to be hard"
"Why is that?" Neria who was sitting next to Bastion asked
"The Darklord deck relies heavily on special summoning and has some very powerful cards." Bastion revealed
"The Darklords are dark attribute fairy type monsters" Alexia who was sitting with them along with Zane and Theorn.
Evelyn then continued with her move "I now place one card facedown and end my turn."
"My move" Daylen said "I use my old trick, a summon Fire Mage in attack mode." Daylen's red robed fire girl spellcaster appeared on the field (Level 4 Attack 1600 Defence 1400) "And since he is on my field, I can special summon Frost Mage in attack mode." Daylen's blue robed spellcaster joined Fire Mage (Level 5 Attack 2200 Defence 2100) "Then I'll throw one card facedown and call it a turn."
Maxwell then did his first move "I play Graceful Charity to draw three cards and then I discard two. Next I summon Duza the Meteor Cubic Vessel in attack mode." A large purple ball with two hands and red markings appeared on the field. (Level 4 Attack 1600 Defence 1600) "And now I activate his effect so now I can send 1 Cubic card from my deck to my graveyard. Next I play Monster Reborn to bring back my Vijan the Cubic seed in attack mode" A black ball with damaged wings and a stem out of the top with an eye coming out appeared on the field (Level 1 Attack 0 Defence 0) "And now I can tribute both my Cubic Monsters to special summon Blade Garoodia the Cubic Beast in attack mode" A red Beast type monster with long spikes coming from the head appeared on the field (Level 3 Attack 0 Defence 0)
"Wait that monster has 0 attack points." Theorn stated
"Why would he summon that?" Alexia asked
"Well the Cubic deck is a difficult deck to use." Zane answered "Most of the monsters have 0 attack points but big special abilities which make opponent's monsters have no attack points."
"And since I summon my Blade Garoodia, his special ability activates" Maxwell added "Now he gains 2000 attack points." A red Aura appeared around Blade Garoodia and he gained attack points. (BGCB Attack 0-2000) "And now Blade Garoodia, attack that Fire Mage." Garoodia threw a large fist and destroyed Fire Mage.
S + D: 7600
E + M: 8000
"Now my Garoodia can attack twice but you don't have another monster I can destroy so now I'll activate my Garoodia's other ability" Maxwell said "Since my Garoodia battled, I can tribute him to summon up to three Cubic seeds in my graveyard and thanks to Graceful Charity, I have three in my graveyard so now they come back in defence mode." Cubic beast disappeared and then the three small seeds with black angel wings came onto the field. "And finally, I can add Buster Gundil the Cubic Behemoth to my hand. Then to end my turn I'll place this card facedown and call it a turn."
"Well now it is my turn again" Solona smirked and she drew a card "I summon my old buddy Red Eyes Black chick in attack mode." A small red eye appeared on the field and a tiny black baby dragon began to hatch from it (Level 1 Attack 800 Defence 500) "And now I'll activate his effect so now by sacrificing my Chick, I can summon out my powerful Red Eyes Black Dragon in attack mode." The baby dragon disappeared and the fully grown black dragon replaced him (Level 7 Attack 2400 Defence 2000) "I now use the spell card Stop Defence which switches one of your Seeds into attack mode." One of the Cubic seeds stood higher "And now Red Eyes, attack that Cubic Seed with Inferno Fire Blast." Red Eyes sent a powerful blast of fire from his mouth which engulfed the Seed in attack mode.
S + D: 7600
E + M: 5600
But when the attack finished, the Cubic seed was still standing "Wait, how did that seed survive?" Solona gasped
"Cubic Seed cannot be destroyed in battle" Maxwell revealed "And there's more too. You see when my seed battles a monster, I can place him into my spell and trap card zone and add a cubic counter onto the attacking monster. And a monster with a Cubic counter equipped to him can't attack or use his effects."
"Well I still have another monster to attack with" Solona said 'I can't lose another monster to that effect "I'll attack that Darklord Nurse Reficule this time." Blue Eyes then sent a blast of blue fire which engulfed the Nurse who screeched before shattering.
S + D: 7600
E + M: 4000
"I'll end my turn there." Solona finished
Sheppard smirked and he turned to Foster "I knew having the Amell twins was a great idea."
"They're good but don't underestimate the Trevelyan twins." Foster said
Evelyn drew her card "Good move Solona" she said "I can see why they made you Duel Academy's representative. But I have a few tricks of my own. I play my own Graceful Charity so now I can draw three cards as long as I toss out two. Then I play the continuous spell card Valhalla, Hall of the Fallen." A large hall appeared behind Evelyn with red curtains and a throne "Now once per turn, if I control on monsters, I can summon 1 fairy type monster from my hand and so I summon out my Athena in attack mode." A large warrior with white hair, dressed in a white battledress and helmet and holding a spear and shield appeared on the field in attack mode (Level 7 Attack 2600 Defence 800) "And now I summon Hecatrice in attack mode." A small golden monster appeared on the field (Level 4 Attack 1500 Defence 1100) "And since I just summoned a fairy type monster, Athena's effect activates, now you take 600 points of damage" Athena sent a blast of light from her spear which struck Solona.
S + D: 7000
E + M: 4000
"And now I activate Athena's second effect" Evelyn added "Now by sacrificing my Hecatrice, I can summon 1 fairy type monster from the graveyard and I chose my Darklord Edeh Arae which I discarded with Graceful Charity." A large field like angel with claws, horns on his head and large black angel wings appeared on the field (Level 5 Attack 2300 Defence 2000) "Now Athena will destroy that Red Eyes and you lose another 600 since I summoned another fairy type monster to the field." Evelyn ordered and then Athena thrust her spear through Red Eyes and the dragon screeched before shattering.
S + D: 6200
E + M: 4000
"And now my Edeh Arae will destroy that Frost Mage" Evelyn added and then Edeh Arae swooped down and grabbed Frost Mage before dropping her and the Spellcaster monster shattered as she hit the ground.
S + D: 6100
E + M: 4000
"I end my turn by throwing one card facedown." Evelyn finished
Daylen then drew his next card "I'll start by playing my facedown card Call of the Haunted which allows me to bring back my fire mage." The red robbed female Spellcaster returned "But he won't be around for long because now by sacrificing him, I can summon out my powerful Pyromancer in attack mode." The Fire Mage was engulfed by fire and then an older male spellcaster wearing orange-red robed and a large hat appeared on the field (Level 7 Attack 2600 Defence)
"Wait that's a level 7 monster so it needs 2 sacrifices" Syrus in the stands gasped while Chumley, Kallian and Faren sat next to him.
"If I sacrifice Fire Mage, I can summon Pyromancer with just her as the sacrifice" Daylen revealed "And now my Pyromancer gains 300 attack points for every spellcaster in the graveyard so with two, he gains 600" Pyromancer glowed as he gained more attack points (P Attack 2600-3200) "And now Pyromancer, attack that Athena."
Neria watched as Daylen made his attack "Wait why is he attacking Athena?" she asked
"Because now he will prevent Athena's effect from activating" Zane said "With Athena on the field, Evelyn can summon fairies from the grave and then Solona and Daylen lose 600 life points."
But Evelyn had a trap "Hold it, I play my facedown card, go Drainage shield, I think you know what this card does? Now we gain life points equal to your monster's attack points and your attack is negated"
S + D: 6100
E + M: 7200
Daylen groaned, he had walked right into a trap. "I end my turn."
"Well now it is my turn" Maxwell said "And now I play my Cubic seed's effect, now if he is in m spell and trap card zone, I can special summon him." The Cubic seed returned to the field "Now I sacrifice all three of my Cubic seeds in order to summon my Buster Gundil, the Cubic Behemoth in attack mode." A green Beast type monster appeared on the field (Level 4 Attack 0 Defence 0) "And this monster has a similar effect to my Blade Garnex, now he gains 3000 attack points and he can attack 3 times but since there are no attack targets that I can destroy, I end my turn."
"My draw" Solona said "And I summon Mirage Dragon in attack mode." A large serpent like dragon with bluish green hair appeared on the field (Level 4 Attack 1600 Defence 600) "And now I play the spell card Burst Stream of Destruction, now since I have my Blue Eyes White Dragon on my field, all monsters on my opponent's field are destroyed." A large light emitted from Blue eyes which engulfed Maxwell and Evelyn's fields and then all of the monsters shattered. But when the light cleared, Maxwell had his three cubic seeds back.
"Whenever my Buster Gundil is destroyed by battle or by card effects, I can special summon up to three cubic monsters from my graveyard and then add on Cubic card to my hand so I think I'll add my Indiora Doom Volt the Cubic Emperor to my hand" Maxwell revealed
'Oh man' Solona thought in her head 'Those Cubic seeds will just be re-summoned as soon as I destroy them and then my monsters will become useless.' "Well since I can no longer attack, I'll place one card facedown and end my turn." Solona finished
"My move" Evelyn said and she smirked "I should thank you Solona" she smirked "Since I have no monsters on my field, I can special summon Darklord Asmodeus in attack mode thanks to Valhalla Hall of the Fallen." A large white skinned Angel wearing a long white and black battledress and with large dark blue angel wings appeared on the field (Level8 Attack 3000 Defence 2500) "And now Darklord Asmodeus, destroy that Blue Eyes White Dragon."
"Wait why?" Daylen questioned "Blue Eyes and Asmodeus have the same attack points so they'll both be destroyed."
Evelyn smirked as Asmodeus clawed at Blue Eyes and then both monsters shattered.
"Both monsters were destroyed!" Zane realised in the crowd
"But what was the point of that?" Alexis questioned "Now Evelyn's field is empty again."
"Why did you do that?" Solona wondered
Evelyn smirked "I did it because now I can activate Asmodeus' effect, when he is destroyed and sent to the graveyard, I can summon 1 Asmo Token and 1 Deus Token." A blue skinned version of the Darklord that was Asmo token appeared on the field (Level 5 Attack 1800 Defence 1500) alongside a red skinned version that was the Deus token (Level 3 Attack 1200 Defence 1200) Asmo was in attack mode while Deus was in defence mode "And now my Asmo Token will attack that Mirage Dragon." The Asmo token swooped down and destroyed Mirage Dragon.
S + D: 5800
E + M: 7200
"I will throw one last card facedown and end my turn." Evelyn finished
"My turn" Daylen said as he drew "I play the spell card 'Cost Down' now by discarding one card, I can decrease the levels of every monster in my hand which will now allow me to summon Battlemage without a sacrifice." A large spellcaster wearing armour and holding a sword that glowed red with fire appeared on the field (Level 6 Attack 2500 Defence 2000) "Now Battlemage, destroy that Asmo token." Battlemage unleashed his sword and then sent a blast of fire from the sword which destroyed the Asmo token.
S + D: 5800
E + M: 6600
"And there is more as now my Battlemage can attack twice." Daylen said "So go, destroy that Deus token. Battlemage sent another blast that engulfed the Deus token but it wasn't destroyed. "WHAT!" Daylen gasped
"My Deus Token cannot be destroyed in battle." Evelyn smirked
"Then I guess that I'll just end my turn by placing one card facedown" Daylen sighed
Maxwell drew his card and then smirked "I play Monster Reincarnation, now by discarding my Cubic Emperor, I can get my Cubic Behemoth back to my hand, and I think I will give up my three Cubic Seeds to bring him back." The large green cubic monster returned will 3000 attack points but this was what Daylen wanted
"You've just activated my trap card, Dark Renewal which activates when you make a summoning" Daylen countered "Now by sacrificing your monster as well as one of mine, I can summon 1 spellcaster from my graveyard."
"But your graveyard is full of spellcasters." Maxwell claimed
"That's right and now I can bring back a favourite of many duellists. Now I summon out my Dark Magician." A large coffin appeared and then Maxwell's Behemoth and Daylen's Battlemage were absorbed and then the coffin closed to reopened and the Dark Purple robed Spellcaster with his staff appeared on the field.
"Wait a second!" Maxwell shouted "Since when did that card end up in your graveyard?"
"This was the card I discarded with my Cost Down spell card." Daylen said
"A good trick" Maxwell said "But now that my Behemoth was sent to the graveyard, his ability activates and so my 3 seeds return and then I can add 1 cubic card to my hand and I think I'll go with my Vulcan Dragni the Cubic King. Which I will now summon by sacrificing two of man Seeds." A large dark purplish red fairy type cubic with one large eye on a pillar and arms which held blades appeared on the field (Level 3 Attack 0 Defence 0) "And since he was summoned, he gains 1600 attack points." The Cubic King glowed as he rose in power. (VDCK Attack: 0-1600) "He may not have enough power to destroy your monsters but he has another ability, you now lose 800 life points." The Cubic King swung his blades and struck Daylen.
S + D: 5200
E + M: 6600
"And I will end my turn with a facedown card, it's your move." Maxwell finished
"My draw." Solona said "And I play Graceful Charity so now I draw three cards as long as I discard 2 and the two cards I discard are Red Eyes Wyvern and my Divine Dragon Apocralyph. And now since I have three Dark monsters in my graveyard, I can special summon my Dark Armed Dragon in attack mode. A large black dragon with armoured scales and a red aura summoned it appeared on the field (Level 7 Attack 2800 Defence 1000) "And now I can activate my armed Dragon's special ability, so now by removing my Red Eyes Black Chick from play, I can destroy one card on your field and I choose your Deus token." The Armed dragon swung his tail around and then smashed the Deus token "And he still has his attack, so go Dark Armed Dragon, destroy that Cubic King." The Dark Armed Dragon swung his tail around and destroyed the Cubic king but his special ability activated.
"And the End of the Damage step, if my Cubic King battled, I can summon up to three Cubic Seeds in my graveyard" Maxwell said "And then I add a second Cubic Emperor to my hand."
"You still take the damage." Solona said
S + D: 5200
E + M: 5200
"And I'll end my turn there." Solona finished "Which means the effect of my Red Eyes Wyvern activates, since I didn't normal summon this turn, I can special summon my Red Eyes Black Dragon from my graveyard." The large black dragon with blood red eyes returned to the field
"My draw" Evelyn said "And since I have no monsters on my field, I can use the effect of my Valhalla to summon Darklord Tezcatlipoca in attack mode." A large dark armoured Angel with feathers for hair and fur at his legs appeared on the field (Level 9 Attack 2800 Defence 2100) "Next I play the spell card Darklord Contact which allows me to summon my Darklord Edeh Arae in defence mode." The clawed fiend fairy returned "And now Darklord Tezcatlipoca, destroy that Red Eyes Black dragon." The large Darklord swung his fists around and then cut Red Eyes in two and destroyed him.
S + D: 4800
E + M: 5200
"And I'll end my turn there." Evelyn finished
'This is it' Daylen thought 'Now I can pull my move off which will stop Maxwell from bringing his Cubic Seeds back to his hand.' "My turn" Daylen drew his card "I play Pot of Greed to draw two new cards. Then I summon out my Entropy Mage in attack mode." A dark robed spellcaster appeared on the field (Level 4 Attack 1900 Defence 1000) "And now all three of my monsters will destroy your Cubic Seeds." Entropy Mage, Dark Magician and Pyromancer destroyed all three of the Cubic Seeds.
"Did you forget?" Maxwell questioned "When you destroy my Cubic Seeds, they go into my spell and trap card zone and a Cubic Token is added to your monsters so they can no longer attack and their abilities are negated so Pyromancer's attack points return to normal." (P Attack 3200-2600)
"Oh man" Syrus stated "That was a bad move as now Maxwell can summon those seeds back on his turn."
Kallian looked at Syrus "I'm not so sure Syrus; Daylen already knew this so it must be some kind of a plan."
"I do indeed have a plan." Daylen smirked "those seeds are treated as Spell and trap cards while they are in the spell and trap card zone. Which is why I now play the spell card Dark Magic Attack since my Dark Magician is still on the field. So now those Seeds as well as every other Spell and Trap card on your field is destroyed are destroyed." Everyone gasped as the three Cubic seeds shattered as well as Evelyn's Hall of Valhalla and any facedown. "And with that I end my turn."
"Clever move" Bastion smirked "Now Maxwell can't use his tactic to bring back his Cubic seeds."
Sheppard smirked "That it Daylen." She said proudly.
Maxwell sighed; with his Cubic Seeds destroyed he couldn't bring them back so he had to use a different tactic. "I place one monster facedown and then place one card facedown and end my turn."
Solona smirked, "my move" she said as she drew her card "I'll place one monster down in defence mode before I use Dark Armed Dragon's ability to remove my Divine Dragon Apocralyph and then destroy your Darklord Tezcatlipoca." Tezcatlipoca was destroyed by Dark Armed Dragon's effect "And now my Dark Armed Dragon will destroy your Edeh Arae" Dark Armed Dragon then smashed Edeh Arae by Dark Armed Dragon's tail. "And then I'll place one card facedown and end my turn."
"My draw" Evelyn said "I'll just play the spell card Fires of Doomsday, now I can special summon 2 Doomsday tokens in defence mode." Two small black clouds with arms and a tail as well as one large green eye in the head appeared on the field (Level 1 Attack 0 Defence 0)
"She's using those for defence." Zane stated in the stands "Those tokens can't be tribute unless it's for a Dark attribute."
"Well I can't summon since I used this spell card so I'm just going to place one card facedown and end my turn." Evelyn finished
"My turn." Daylen said "Now since my monsters can't attack, I'm going to sacrifice my Entropy Mage and my Pyromancer in order to summon my Arcane Warrior in attack mode." A large elven spellcaster wearing green armour appeared on the field (Level 8 Attack 2700 Defence 2500) "Next I play Card of Sanctity so now we all draw until we hold 6 cards." All four Duellists drew until they held 6 cards in their hands "Now I play the spell card Thousand Knives so now can destroy one of those tokens." A large number of knives appeared and then they were sent towards one of the tokens and that card shattered. "Next I play another spell card, Dedication through Light and Darkness, this spell takes my Dark Magician and replaces him with the powerful Dark Magician of Chaos." A large portal opened which sucked in the Dark Magician and then replaced him with a Spellcaster wearing black robes with red stripes and a black hat (Level 8 Attack 2800 Defence 2600) "And since he was summoned, I can bring back one spell card from my graveyard to my hand." Daylen choose to bring back his Pot of Greed which he chooses to save for later "Now Arcane Warrior, destroy that facedown monster." Arcane warrior drew his sword and then slashed him with a magical blade which destroyed the monster which was revealed to be Mystical Tomato.
"When Mystical Tomato is destroyed, I can bring summon one Dark monster from my deck with 1500 attack points or less and I choose to summon my Dark Jeroid in attack mode." Maxwell countered and then a large blue fiend with multiple limbs appeared (Level 4 Attack 1200 Defence 1500) "And when he is summoned, I can select one monster and it loses 800 attack points and I choose that Dark Magician of chaos." The Dark Magician lost some attack power (DMOC Attack 2800-2000)
"Well that won't stop his attack." Daylen countered "Dark Magician of Chaos, destroy that Dark Jeroid." Dark Magician of Chaos fired a blast from his sceptre which destroyed Dark Jeroid.
S + D: 4800
E + M: 4400
"And with that I will end my turn." Daylen finished
Maxwell drew his card and he looked at his hand 'I just have to survive until my next turn, if I draw the right card, I can summon my ultimate Cubic monster, but I must wait until then so I'll play safe for now.' Maxwell made his move "I place three cards facedown and then one monster facedown and then end my turn."
"That's it" Solona said "Well first I will flip my facedown monster which is Keeper of the Shrine." A man sitting on a throne who looked liked a human and dragon hybrid appeared on the field (Level 4 Attack 0 Defence 2100) "But he won't be around for long because I will now sacrifice him in order to summon Pandemic Dragon in attack mode and I can since Keeper of the Shrines counts as 2 sacrifices for a dragon type monster." The Dragon hybrid vanished and was replaced with a large purple dragon with 3 large rings that looked like claws and made the dragon much larger (Level 7 Attack 2500 Defence 1000). "And now, Pandemic Dragon, destroy that Facedown monster." The Large dragon released a ball made of dark magic but Maxwell had a trap.
"I play my facedown, Negate Attack which negates your attack and ends your battle phase." Maxwell said
"A good trick" Solona said "I'll throw 3 cards facedown and end my turn."
"My draw." Evelyn said and she smirked "I must thank my brother for saving my Doomsday token, because now I will sacrifice both of them in order to summon my powerful Darklord Desire in attack mode." A large white skinned angel with red angel wings and wearing Black armour and clawed hands appeared on the field (Level 10 Attack 3000 Defence 2800) "And now Darklord Desire, destroy that Dark Armed Dragon." Darklord Desire slashed Dark Armed Dragon with his clawed hands which caused the dragon to screech before he exploded.
S + D: 4600
E + M: 4400
"And with that I end my turn." Evelyn finished
"My draw" Daylen said and then he smirked "I summon my Sprit Mage in attack mode." A female spellcaster wearing blue and green robes appeared on the field (Level 4 Attack 1700 Defence 1500) "And then I play the spell card Heroic Aura so now all my monsters gain 500 attack points until the end of this turn." All of the monsters glowed as they gained attack points. (DMOC Attack 2000-2500) (AW Attack 2700-3200) (SM Attack 1700-2200) "And now Arcane warrior, destroy that Darklord Desire." Arcane warrior slashed Darklord Desire and then the dark fairy exploded."
S + D: 4600
E + M: 4200
"Then Spirit Mage will destroy your facedown monster." Daylen then ordered and then Spirit Mage sent a powerful ball of blue magic which destroyed the facedown monster which was revealed as Gil Garth. "And then for my final attack, my Dark Magician of Chaos will attack you directly." Dark Magician of Chaos sent a powerful blast from his staff which struck Maxwell.
S + D: 4600
E + M: 1700
"I will end my turn by placing one last card facedown." Daylen finished
"My move" Maxwell said as he drew his card and he smirked when he looked at it "It's time to summon my most powerful Cubic monster" he said "I play my facedown card 'Unification of the Cubic Lords'" Maxwell smirked "Now thanks to your card of Sanctity, I can fuse the three Crimson Nova the Dark Cubic Lords in my hand in order to fusion summon Crimson Nova Trinity, the Dark Cubic Lord." The three Cubic Lords appeared and were absorbed by a portal and then a large red Fiend with multiple limbs and eyes appeared on the field (Level 10 Attack 4500 Defence 3000) "And my Crimson Nova Trinity has a special ability. When he attacks, he halves your life points"
"WHAT!" Daylen yelled
"Crimson Nova Trinity, destroy that Spirit Mage, this attack will finish your life points as first they are halved." Maxwell smirked
S + D: 2300
E + M: 1700
"I play my facedown card!" Solona countered "Emergency Provisions, now trading in two of my three remaining facedowns, we gain 2000 life points."
S + D: 4300
E + M: 1700
Crimson Nova Trinity destroyed Spirit Mage and dealt a huge damage to Solona and Daylen.
S + D: 1500
E + M: 1700
"A good save but it was a waste." Maxwell smirked "Because when Crimson Nova Trinity destroys a monster, he can attack a second time this turn."
"Oh no!" Zane gasped "If this next attack goes through then Solona and Daylen will lose."
"Oh no!" Sheppard gasped
Foster smirked and the North Academy students cheered while Chazz sneered 'Now that Amell girl will pay for beating me."
"First my Crimson Nova Trinity halves your life points." Maxwell said
S + D: 750
E + M: 1700
"And now my Crimson Nova Trinity will destroy that Dark Magician of Chaos and end this Duel." Maxwell added and then Crimson Nova Trinity swung his limbs around and headed straight towards Dark Magician of Chaos.
"Sorry but I play my facedown card, Book of Moon!" Daylen countered "Now I can flip my Dark Magician of Chaos into face down Defence position." The Dark Magician of Chaos flipped down into facedown position "And since this is a quick play spell, you can't change your attack target." The Crimson Nova Trinity destroyed the face down monster.
"Well that will do it for my turn." Maxwell finished "Oh but one more think, my Crimson Nova Trinity can't be destroyed by Card Effects or targeted by them."
"That means that Solona will have to do something big" Theorn stated "Because on Maxwell's next move, he can end this and Evelyn still has other powerful monsters in her deck."
"Solona has been in tough positions before, I'm sure she can find a way." Neria added
"Make your move" Maxwell said
'This is going to be tough' Solona thought to herself 'My Masked Dragon is in my hands by that can't help and I can't use Pandemic Dragon special ability. My remaining facedown is Tyrant Wing. I have to draw something good.' "Here goes, my draw!" Solona said and she drew her card and she smiled when she drew it.
"She's smiling!" Syrus shouted
"She must have drawn something good." Kallian added
"Let's hope that it will help her win" Faren added
"Well it's been a good Duel but I'm afraid that it ends here" Solona said "I summon Masked Dragon to the field in attack mode." A red and white scaled dragon appeared on the field (Level 3 Attack 1400 Defence 1100)
"How will that help?" Alexia wondered "That card can't destroy that Crimson Nova Trinity."
"Well this must be part of Solona's plan" Zane added
"This card may not be able to help me win." Solona smirked "But this will, I play the spell card Dragon's Mirror."
"Not that card!" Foster shouted as he knew what it did
"That's it Solona!" Sheppard yelled "Bring out you best monster."
"Now Dragon's mirror allows me to fuse Dragon monsters in my graveyards and on my field by removing them from play." Solona revealed "Now I fuse my Masked Dragon and Pandemic Dragon on my field with my Blue Eyes, Red Eyes and Dark Armed Dragon in my graveyard which will allow me to summon out my powerful Five Headed Dragon." Everyone gasped as a portal sucked in the Five Dragons and then the huge five headed dragon with 5 different coloured heads appeared on the field (Level 12 Attack 5000 Defence 5000) "And there is more, I play my trap card, Tyrant Wing which gives my Five Headed Dragon an extra 400 attack points." (FHD Attack 5000-5400) "And now Five Headed dragon, destroy that Crimson Nova!" Solona ordered and each of the five heads let put a blast that combined into one and which then struck the Crimson Nova Trinity and destroyed him.
S + D: 750
E + M: 800
"Well I've got a surprise for you." Maxwell countered "Since you destroyed a Cubic Monster, I can remove my Unification of the Cubic Lords Trap card in my graveyard from play which will allows me to summon 1 level 4 or lower Cubic monster from my hand or deck to the field ignoring the summoning conditions so I choose to bring out another Buster Gundil the Cubic Behemoth in attack mode and remember, he has 3000 attack points."
"Well my Tyrant Wing has another effect." Solona smirked "It allows my monster to attack again."
"Wait what!" Maxwell shouted
"All right, they've won!" Syrus cheered
"Now Five Headed Dragon, attack that Buster Gundil and end this Duel." Solona ordered and then Five Headed dragon sent out another attack which destroyed the Cubic Behemoth and ended the Duel.
S + D: 750 (Winner)
E + M: 0000
"And the Winner of the Tag Duel is Duel Academy with Solona and Daylen Amell." Crowler announced over his microphone.
"Well Foster, it seems that I've won the Tag Duel" Sheppard said to Foster
"Well the prize is awarded to the winner of the Singles Duel" Foster smirked "And I've given Chazz North Academy's best deck."
"Well Jaden always enjoys a challenge." Sheppard smirked
Back on the Duelling Field, Solona and Daylen talked to Evelyn and Maxwell "That was a good Duel"
"Thanks Solona" Evelyn said "But I would like to have a rematch someday."
"Yeah someday" Maxwell agreed.
"Well who knows" Daylen said "Maybe one day we will meet again."
The four shared a laugh and then they were joined by Jaden "Hey Solona that was a sweet Duel."
"Thanks Jaden" Solona said "And you better get ready because the singles Duel is about to begin."
"Oh yeah" Jaden realised and he turned to Chazz "Get your Game on Chazz."
"Oh I will Slacker!" Chazz growled "I will."
Chapter End:
Author's note: well this is the Tag Duel of the School Duel. I was planning to do the Singles Duel in this chapter as well but the Tag Duel was quite long. Maxwell and Evelyn will be characters who will be appearing again in season 3 and I gave Jessie a quick appearance though I wasn't sure if he was at North Academy during this time or if he had the Crystal Beasts so I didn't have him talk with Jaden. I hope to have the next chapter of my Game of Thrones Elder Scrolls Crossover story finished by the End of April or at the beginning of May but I have my exams soon so I don't have much time for writing.
Next time: The School Duel continues with Jaden facing off against his old rival Chazz who now has a new deck thanks to North Academy.
