1Hi guys, back with another chapter. Not much to say, I know, but I'll try to make this chapter worth while. I do not own Yugioh/GX/5Ds, Jump does.
The Fall Continues
"You can't be serious!" Tanner shouted.
"It's all true. Dove made it forbidden for Dean to talk to you" Cassie stated.
"Huh? I'm sorry, were you talking? I was watching this. Can you believe Elizabeth is going to go back to Jose after he broke her heart for her evil twin's clone?" Tanner asked.
"Get serious! Do you realize just how severe this situation is!?" Melinda shouted in anger.
"Jeez, why are you so upset? While I do appreciate Dean as a friend, I have all of you guys. Besides, Dove is probably just playing a prank and will let him play with me again soon enough. I'll just see it as a nice little vacation from all the talk about his Grammy".
"This isn't a game Tanner. Dove is trying to mess with the bonds that tie us together. I think we need to discuss how to get Dean back" Haseo stated sternly.
"Right. So where is Dean anyways?" Shawn asked.
"He's in Melinda's room. She's letting him stay there for a little while so he doesn't accidently break his word" Jewels stated.
"I didn't say he could wait in my room" Melinda said.
"I did! He was so sad, so I though who do we know that has an awesome room. Well I know Haseo does, but he probably has a lot of fancy stuff that Dean would break. Then there's Voltaire, but he sleeps during the day and is awake at night, so that would throw him off if Dean was there. That left your room" Sandra said.
"What!?". Without another word, Melinda took off, a trail of dust following behind her.
"... Anyways, it's time to go guys" Shawn said getting up.
"Huh? Where are you guys going? Can I come!? I want to go! Ooooooh, take me with you!" Tanner said bouncing around Shawn.
"We're finding Dove. One way or another, we're going to convince her to break Dean's contract, one way or another" Shawn said.
"Okay, I'll help" Tanner said reaching for his deck.
"You're not allowed" everyone in the room said.
"What!? But I'm an important person in this group! You wouldn't do this to me, would you?" Tanner cried.
"You aren't paying attention my friend. Dove is targeting you. While it's only been one person so far, she's gone for your friends instead of you directly. If she get a shot at you, she may make the stakes a lot higher. We're not going to risk that" Haseo said putting his hand on Tanner's shoulder.
"We'll be back soon, just relax and watch your shows" Jewels said. Soon enough, all his friends had departed, leaving the blonde boy alone.
Melinda's Room
"No! You cannot stay here!" Melinda shouted as she barged into her room, only to find the living room portion empty. "If he's not over here, then... stay out of my bedroom!". Checking once more, she found the grandma's boy was not there. "Uh, Dean? Are you in here?".
"Hey Melinda" Dean said exiting the bathroom behind Melinda, scaring the small girl.
"Dean! You can't stay in my room. It's not even allowed since you're a guy and I'm a girl" Melinda said.
"I know. I'll ask Haseo later if I can stay with him. I just need to relax" Dean said before heading to the kitchen to make a snack.
"You seem pretty calm about what happened. I was told you were curled in a ball when the others found you" Melinda said.
"I just realized that it was ma' fault an' I need ta fix things. Ya see, I was using one of ma' other decks when I Dueled. It was still a strong one, but I should hav' used my Insect King one" Dean said.
"You have more then one deck?"
"Yup. All Insect, but the point is a fact Grammy taught me. 'Never use the same tactic in every battle, cause then the enemy will know what ta expect'. I remembered that and while I don't know what Dove knows about me, I wasn't goin' ta risk her figurin' out" Dean said.
"Huh. That's actually pretty smart... Wait... Crap!"
"What? What's the matta?" Dean asked.
"Dove. She isn't the only one. When we met her there was her brother and the Kaiser. We haven't seen them, but we forgot. They'll be the next ones to attack, not Dove!" Melinda shouted.
"We have ta warn the others!" Dean shouted running to the phone.
"It's too late. They went searching for Dove. By now, they should have found someone if these guys are after Tanner. I only hope it's not too late" Melinda said looking out her window.
Graveyard
"This is ridiculous. Why did we come out here? I mean I love the scenery, but it's too early for me to be getting up and I doubt Dove would hang out here" Voltaire said.
"I know. It was kinda what I was hoping on. You see, while I do feel sorry for Tanner and am ready to help him, I wanted to spend some time with you" Cassie said.
"Mm, that's one of the things that attracts me to you. Your ability to have a lovely thought in the darkness. Just being here with you makes me happy" Voltaire said, approaching his loved one.
"Then this will making you burst in joy. Poe, cut the line" Cassie commanded. Poe flew out of one of the trees with a butcher's knife in his talons and dropped the blade on a rope. Part of the rope shot over one of the graves and it released a large canopy that covered the two students from the son.
"Much better. And to see that Poe will act out your commands proves how much he likes you" Voltaire said.
"Thanks, but I'm not done yet. Poe, can you press the button?" Cassie asked. This time, Poe flew into the tree and pressed a button on a projector. Light emerged from the lens and hit the side of a large tomb. A few images and names rolled by before it revealed the title 'Mind Mezmerizers'.
"Mind Mezmerizers. The psychological horror series?"
"Yes. I thought you might want to watch it with me" Cassie said.
"My dear, I would be honored to" Voltaire answered, his wolfish grin spread across his face.
Cafeteria
"Why did we come here? You won't let me eat and noone is here" Sandra asked.
"Sorry San, but I thought since Dove's debut as a villain was here, she might have an encore performance. I suppose I was wrong" Haseo said.
"I don't understand why she's being so mean all of a sudden. When we first met, she gave me a lollipop" Sandra said patting her growling stomach.
"It could have been an act, but it seemed sincere. Remember what happened afterwards though? When Tanner appeared, she and her brother and the Kaiser started acting weird" Haseo said.
"It's because of what your friend is"
Both friends turned around to see Dove at the entrance, a sly grin on her face.
"You big meanie! You're trying to hurt our friend's feelings!" Sandra shouted.
"No, I'm trying to protect yours" Dove said.
"What do you mean?"
"I can't say much, but lets just say this. While you have a strong lineage, your friend has one as well. But while yours seems to stem from... I want to say Aztecs. Well, your friend has a dark one that rivals the Atlanteans" Dove said.
"Atlanteans? You're trying to say our friend is from Atlantis? That's ridiculous, and I should know. I've had to play some rather ludicrous parts" Haseo said.
"Nope! Besides the fact Atlantis is all true, that's not what I'm aiming for. He's a... what did Raven call it? Le-moo-rian. I think that's right" Dove said trying to sound off the word.
"Lemoorian?... Lemurian?" Haseo suggested.
"That's it! Lemurian! One that hails from Lemuria. Anyways, I've got to go. I want to catch part of the Duel" Dove said.
"Duel!? What Duel!? And why don't you Duel us!?" Sandra shouted.
Waving her finger, Dove said "No can do. My deck is getting cleaned. And the Duel is between one of your friends, and my brother".
Forest
"Jewels, are you sure you want to do this? I can go instead" Shawn asked.
"No. Your strategy has been revealed too many times before, I need to do this" Jewels said activating her Duel Disk.
"A smart idea, but you must remember that you're fighting a superior Duelist who makes it a point to learn about his opponent. Jewels. First year student of the White Dorm. You play a Spellcaster Deck that resembles some strategies of the King of Games himself, but do not have the skill to pull of some of them" Rave said activating his own Duel Disk.
Jewels' LP: 8000 Raven's LP: 8000
"Not enough skill? I'll show you I've got more then enough to defeat you!" Jewels shouted, drawing a sixth card.
"I don't remember agreeing to you going first, but you will need all the help you can get".
"Shut up! I'll start by summoning Silent Magician LV4" Jewels said as a small girl with white hair wearing white robes, gloves, and a hat over her blue suit holding a wand appeared (Attack: 1000 Defense: 1000). "But she won't stay this size forever. I activate Level Up!" Jewels said as Silent Magician was covered in light and grew to an adult (Attack: 3500 Defense: 1000). Jewels opened her mouth to say something, but Raven beat her to it.
"Your monster is unaffected by my spell cards, I know. I'm not a rookie" Raven said.
"I wish I was Dueling your sister. At least she's pleasant to be around. I'll set two cards and end my turn" Jewels thought. "Now I'm safe. I've got a monster stronger then the legendary Blue-Eyes on the field, as well as Magic Cylinder and Spellbinding Circle for insurance. It'll be almost impossible to beat me" Jewels thought.
"Time for you to learn a quick lesson in superior Dueling. Since you control a monster and I do not, I may normal summon Blackwing- Sirocco of Dawn without offering a monster" Raven stated as a tan man with talons for legs and black feathered wings on his back flew onto the field.
He had grey gloves with black claws on them, grey feathers on his thighs and shoulders while black feathers covered his covered his pelvis and extended from the back to form tail feathers. Over his chest was a piece of cloth with a red webbing design on it. Over his head was a mask resembling the head of a black feathered bird (Attack: 2000 Defense: 900).
"Now, because I have a Blackwing monster, I can special summon these two monsters from my hand to the field. Go Blackwing- Blast of Black Lance and Blackwing- Gale of the Hurricane" Raven commanded as two new monster flew next to Sirocco.
The first was like Sirocco in the sense it had a humanoid stance with talon legs, black feather wings and tail feathers. However, this one had long yellow feather covering the top of its body with an orange feather bird head over its own head. In its hands was a large, black lance (Attack: 1700 Defense: 800).
The second was small, humanoid creature with wings for arms and black feathers covering the majority of its body. It had a collar of white feathers, a yellow beak-like face, and green feathers for hair (Attack: 1300 Defense: 400).
"Huh, so you have three monsters on the first turn, you going to attack?" Jewels asked.
"Be patient. I have plans. Now, to make sure your face downs are of no concern, I activate Delta Crow- Anti Reverse. This card can only work if I have a Blackwing monster on the field. It destroys all of your face down spells and traps" Raven said presenting the card.
"You can't do that! It's a trap card and you didn't even set it!" Jewels shouted.
"Part of its effect. When I have 3 or more Blackwing monsters, I can activate it from my hand" Raven said as Jewels' face downs were destroyed. "Now it's time for some of my monster effects besides the rush tactic. First, my Gale's effect. Once per turn, I am allowed to halve the attack and defense of one of your monsters, and I spy only one" Raven said as Gale flapped its wings, weakening the Spellcaster (Attack: 1750 Defense: 500).
"Now, I'll use my Sirocco's effect to make one Blackwing monster's attack equal to the combined attack of all Blackwing monsters on my side of the field. Of course, the others will not be able to attack. So Sirocco, give Blast the power up" Raven said. Sirocco began chanting in an ancient language and feathers from himself and Gale began to position themselves in Blast (Attack: 5000 Defense: 800).
"Why did you choose your Blast? Does he have some ability that you plan on using?" Jewels said looking at the now super powered monster.
"Well, he does have a trampling effect, but I just want him to get in on the action. So Blast, destroy her Silent Magician" Raven commanded. Blast flew forward at a surprising speed even though he was carrying the large lance and shoved his weapon through the magic user, the tip hitting Jewels.
Jewels' LP: 4750 Raven's LP: 8000
"I'll end my turn there. Show me something interesting before this Duel is over" Raven said as the extra feathers on Blast disappeared (Attack: 1700 Defense: 800).
"Man, first turn and you're only 750 Life Points from the halfway point" Shawn said before whistling.
"Shut up! You're not helping" Jewels shouted. Drawing her next card and grinned. "I'm going to turn this Duel around right now. First, I'll summon Magical Exemplar" Jewels said as brown hair woman wearing green robes and gold jewelry appeared on the field (Attack: 1700 Defense: 1400). "Next, I'll activate Pot of Greed to draw two cards, but this also activates Exemplar's effect. Every time a spell is activated, she gains 2 Spell Counters. But I'll remove those for her second effect, to summon a monster from my hand whose level is equal to the number of Spell Counters removed, and I choose Night's End Sorcerer".
A young boy wearing white pants, brown shoes, gloves, and a jacket with a torn cloak over top of it and had blond hair with two locks that looked like wings, wielding a scythe whose blade was see through and had a lantern connected to its bird like head appeared (Attack: 1300 Defense: 400), multiple bat like creatures flying around him..
"When he's special summoned, I can remove 2 cards from in your graveyard from play, but all I can remove is your trap card. The real point here is Night's End Sorcerer is a Tuner, Level 2 while my Magical Exemplar is a Level 4. So I'll use these two to Synchro Summon Tempest Magician!" Jewels announced. Instead of the usual summoning, Night's End Sorcerer disappeared leaving his scythe and bats behind. Magical Exemplar took the scythe and her robes turned blue and hair a mix between grey and black, the bats now flew around her (Attack: 2200 Defense: 1400).
"I see. That was actually a very good rush, and trust me, I know how rushes work. Of course, one monster isn't going to be enough" Raven said.
"I know, but you don't know the entire deal yet. Part of Tempest Magician's effect is that she gains a Spell Counter when she's Synchro Summoned" Jewels said as a small orb of light appeared near Tempest Magician and began circling the magic user.
"Continue with your move, I already know this monster's effect" Raven said.
"Um, I don't. So can you continue with the explanation?" Shawn asked.
"Certainly"
"I hate having an audience" Raven grumbled.
"Now, once per turn, I can discard any number of cards to give Tempest Magician more Spell Counters. So I'll get rid of one to add a second Spell Counter to my Magician" Jewels said as a second orb began circling Tempest Magician.
"I don't understand why you're doing this. You see Shawn, your friend's monster may remove all Spell Counters on the field to deal me 500 damage each. But the amount she has is hardly sufficient" Raven said.
"Can't you just let me do the explaining for my own monster's effect?" Jewels asked in frustration.
"You're too slow. I want to finish this and add another name to the 'Former Friends of Tanner' list" Raven said.
"Well that's not going to happen! Tempest Magician! Attack Sirocco!" Jewels shouted. Tempest nodded and pointed at the opposing monster with the scythe, the bats around her screeched and began tearing it apart.
Jewels' LP: 4750 Raven's LP: 7800
"Congratulations, you dealt some damage. This has to be a big step for you" Raven said clapping his hands.
"Shut up! You're such a pain!" Jewels shouted.
"Jewels, you need to calm down. He's getting in your head" Shawn said.
Jewels blushed and said "R-right, sorry. I'll end by setting one card and using Tempest Magician's effect to remove her Spell Counters and damage you further". The two orbs stopped in front of Tempest Magician and she shoved her hand forward, sending the orbs into Raven.
Jewels' LP: 4750 Raven's LP: 6800
"Good job. After all, my Gale will still weaken your Tempest Magician, so you might as well have used those" Raven said, drawing another card, his eyes narrowing when he saw what he drew. "It's already here. I thought it was going to take a little while longer. I guess I can end this sooner then expected... of course, I do need an excuse from seeing Dove for a while. So I'll drag this out". "I'll use Gale's effect and then have it destroy your monster, then have Blast follow up with an attack".
Gale flapped its wings once more making it hard for Tempest Magician to focus (Attack: 1100 Defense: 700). Gale then charged toward Tempest and sliced into it with its talons.
Jewels' LP: 4550 Raven's LP: 6800
Blast then flew forward and was about to hit Jewels when the ground in front of her burst up, surprising Blast and sending it back to Raven's side of the field.
"No follow up attack for you. I activated my Call of the Haunted, bringing my Tempest Magician back, although she won't get any Spell Counters" Jewels said as the dust cleared to reveal Tempest (Attack: 2200 Defense: 1400).
"I see. I'll end my turn there" Raven said.
"Really? I thought you would have done something. Oh well" Jewels said before drawing. "Now I'll summon Breaker the Magical Warrior, and he gains a Spell Counter which gives him 300 attack points" Jewels declared as another monster appeared.
This one was a man with light blue skin wearing red armor with red framing that had a red cape connected to it. In the man's hands was a shield and sword with a similar design as his armor, as all three had small blue orbs with triangles in them. An orb of light appeared and circled the warrior (Attack: 1600 + 300 Defense: 1000).
"Now, combo attack! Destroy both his monsters with Slicing Spell!" Jewels cried out. Breaker and Tempest crossed weapons and gathered magical energy to them. They then slashed forward, creating a large green X that cut through Raven's monsters and hit him.
Jewels' LP: 4550 Raven's LP: 5700
"Now I'll have Tempest use her effect to remove Breaker's Spell Counter and deal 500 damage" Jewels said. The orb circling Breaker broke its set path and moved in front of Tempest, only to be fired at Raven.
Jewels' LP: 4550 Raven's LP: 5200
"We're almost even now. Only I have two monsters and you have none. Not to sound cocky, but I think I'm doing pretty good for a First Year against one of the best Third Years" Jewels said.
"Yeah, good for you. Are you done yet?" Raven asked.
"Yes. Man, you are really impatient" Jewels said.
"If I was impatient, I would have ended this last turn. But now I'm just getting bored. Letting you have your moment was fun, you certainly didn't brag as much as some First Years would, but I digress" Raven stated.
"Can you just not admit you're getting beat? Saying you're bored or letting me have my fun are obvious ways of hiding your frustration" Jewels said.
"Fine, then I'll prove it. I summon Blackwing- Blizzard of the North Pole" Raven said as a primarily white bird with black feathers on the tips of its wings, sides of its eyes, and on its foreheads flew onto the field (Attack: 1300 Defense: 0).
"Unlike most of my monsters, he doesn't have something to do with his own summoning. In fact, I can't special summon him. I do however, have the ability to special summon a Level 4 or lower Blackwing monster to my side of the field in defense position, although it can't use its effect if it has one. So return Blast" Raven commanded as the lance wielding monster flew onto the field (Attack: 1700 Defense: 800).
"What are you planning? None of these monsters can harm me. I'll just have Tempest and Breaker destroy them as well" Jewels asked.
"Because now I activate Premature Burial. Paying 800 Life Points to return Gale to the Sirocco to the field" Raven declared as the bird man clawed his way out of the dirt, his feathers covered in dust (Attack: 2000 Defense: 900).
Jewels' LP: 4550 Raven's LP: 4400
"Okay, I see. You'll go ahead and use Sirocco's effect again to destroy Tempest, that ways I won't be able to use Breaker effectively against you. But I'll just find some other way to beat you, I swear it" Jewels said.
"Don't swear, you're a girl. I may not be a gentleman like your friend Haseo or Voltaire to his girlfriend, but even I dislike rude girls. I have to live with Dove after all. And no. While what you said is another possibility, that would require more then one turn to work. I'm ending this now. I offer all three of my monsters to special summon my grand monster" Raven said as his monsters burst into black plumage, disguising the arrival of a new monster.
The plumage spread apart to reveal a tan man with talons for feet and hands and had two large black wings on his back. His body was covered in feathers that were black, dark brown, and dark grey. Over his head was a bird with black feathers, beak, and eyes (Attack: 2500 Defense: 1600).
"Master of Darkened Feathers, Raven. How do you like my monster? He's my key card, so you should feel quite honored that I even use him against you" Raven said.
"I don't know what to say. Since you gave up a strategy that could give you a 5000 attack point monster, this must have been worth it" Jewels said.
"Good, you're smart. Most idiots would say 'This is what you summoned? He's trash! You're stupid'. Let me reveal his effects. One, he's counted as a Blackwing monster. Two, once per turn I am able to switch the attack of one monster on the field to its defense, so lets change around Tempest's power" Raven said. The monster Raven flapped its wings, sending many feathers to cover Tempest Magician, confusing the magic manipulator (Attack: 1400 Defense: 2200).
"So you can weaken it. And from the looks of the first effect, it makes it easier to perform rushes since it's a Blackwing" Jewels said.
"Oh, being a Blackwing is important, but its final effect is its true rush ability. When he's summoned, I can summon as many Blackwing monsters from my graveyard as I like. So you're going to have to deal with the whole flock" Raven said as the monster Raven made a screeching cry. Sirocco, Blast, and Gale answered the call and appeared next to it (Attack: 2000 Defense: 900) (Attack: 1700 Defense: 800) (Attack: 1300 Defense: 400).
"N-no. The power is too much. With all those effects, I'll lose" Jewels said.
"Of course you will. With one more monster on the field, this has the potential to be a One Turn Kill. You see, I am the master of rushes. I hope you realize the power that is in the hands of the top three students at this school. Now, Gale, weaken her monster. Sirocco, empower Raven" Raven commanded.
Gale flapped his wings making it hard for Tempest to focus (Attack: 700 Defense: 1100), while Sirocco chanted and made all the other Blackwing monsters give Raven some feathers (Attack: 7500 Defense: 1600).
"Raven, use Black Blade Feathers". Raven flapped its wings and released feathers into the air. From there, they stood still before firing into Tempest.
Jewels' LP: 0 Raven's LP: 4400
"I will tell you this. You fought with mind, emotions, and soul. It's hard to do that. But against me, you will never be able to defeat my mind alone" Raven said before he left Jewels to be consoled by Shawn.

Author's Note: Well, I hope you enjoyed that chapter. You'll have to excuse me for the lateness, I've been a bit under the weather as of late. I can tell you things are getting good. Cassie and Voltaire are goofing off for dates, yet another good guy gets beat, Dove reveals a glimpse as to what is going on. But there is so much more to see. Keep reading and review!
