Chapter 28 - DUEL!

Red hair swayed around as a light breeze passed by. Laviss walked on the dirt path that led to the Slifer Red Dorm and saw someone already out front. That same person was the one who had called her over, early in the morning.

"Hey Chazz." said Laviss with a small yawn

"Uh...hey." said Chazz and stuffed his hands into his pockets "I didn't call you up too early... did I?" he asked, noticing the girl blinking furiously to keep the sleep away from her eyes.

"Kinda…" she began "Anyways what did you wanted to see me for?"

Chazz looked around and saw that no one was around. He then took his hands and went behind his neck. "Here." he said and pushed something into Laviss' hands.

Looking down, she saw the necklace she gave him when he left Duel Academy. Laviss smiled and gripped the jewel shard. "You kept it."

"No duh. Didn't you say to hold on to it or else? And frankly, I didn't want to know what you had in store for me when you said that." said Chazz with his head turned. Laviss giggled before he went on. "Listen… about yesterday… what happened… you know after my duel against the Slacker. I just wanna say… well…" the red head raised a brow at the nervous Slifer "What I mean is… uh… you know… um thanks."

The Ra tilted her head "Thanks? What for?"

"You know… for standing up for me." he said shyly "No one's ever done that for me. I would've thought the stupid Slacker would've been the one to do that, not you, you know."

"Hey, nobody talks trash to my friends, even if they're family." said Laviss and handed back the necklace to Chazz

"Friends?" he said with a brow raised

"Yeah! Why else did I entrust you with the one thing that's precious to me?"

Chazz gave her a look "I thought that it wasn't for keeps?"

"It's not. But I figured... if you still kept my necklace, then that means you care; even if it's just a bit."

"So why are you giving it back?" he said, indicating to her hand that was stretched out in front of him.

"Just hold on to it for a little longer." Laviss said blissfully

The boy gave Laviss another look "What are you up to?" he asked, putting the necklace around his neck once more

"Nothing." smiled Laviss

Just then, something bright and small came from behind Chazz. It was the yellow creature she saw during Chazz's duel. Though, this time, she could clearly see what it was. Besides having a pair of giant red lips, its eyes were separate from its head and the only thing it wore was a pair of red underwear.

"Hey boss! What `cha doing?" said the yellow creature and quickly spotted Laviss "Oh! Who's she? Is she your girlfriend boss? She so pretty! I like her!" he said as he flew around Laviss and Chazz.

"WILL YA GET OUT OF HERE!" yelled Chazz and chased after the monster around Laviss. He wave his hands around in an attempt to smack the pest away.

The Ra sweat dropped "Er… I'm guessing this is your duel spirit."

Chazz stopped running and looked at her in shock. "You can see it!"

"Yeah and hear him too." she said as the yellow creature landed on her shoulder. "So what's its name?"

"Its name's stupid annoyance." said Chazz with his arms crossed

"I'm Ojama Yellow!" cheered the creature "It's nice to meet you… boss' girlfriend!"

Laviss laughed weakly and shook her head "Oh, I'm not-"

"SHE'S NOT MY GIRLFRIEND! NOW BUG OFF!" with that Chazz slapped his hands in between Ojama Yellow, making him disappear.

"You sure are happy when he's around." she said sarcastically

"He's annoying! I can't get rid of him! At least you don't have something that's annoying to deal with!"

"Actually, I've got my own annoyance. One of them is sort of a pain, but not to the point of making me go insane… not yet at least." said Laviss as she thought of Sonic Shooter


After her little meeting with Chazz, Laviss decided to walk around to ease her mind. But that seemed impossible as she had too much to think about; especially with the incident concerning the two Obelisks. She and Zane had a feeling that those two weren't behind it. However, they didn't have proof to actually accuse a third party member involved in her attack. Laviss stopped walked and groaned. Her head was starting to ache from all this thinking.

"Laviss!" shouted a voice

The red head turned around and saw the owner of the voice coming over. "Hey Bastion."

"What are you doing?" asked the Ra as he joined her

"Nothing, just talking a walk."

He nodded "I saw you earlier this morning." He shyly rubbed his arm "You were heading towards the Slifer Dorm."

"Yeah, I just had to take care of something." said Laviss and began walking again

"With Jaden?" asked Bastion

Laviss shook her head "No, with Chazz."

Bastion was surprised. Out of all the Slifers to meet up with, it was the newest member that was reinstated into the Academy again! Bastion wasn't happy. He could, somewhat, understand if she had meet with Jaden, Syrus, heck even Chumley at that! But to see the stubborn black haired duelist, who didn't quite have a good reputation in Bastion's books, was something that worried him. What churned his stomach even more was the subject of WHAT they spoke of. After all, Laviss wasn't one to get up at 8 in the morning... on a SATURDAY for anything or anyone! He was quite shocked when he saw the girl outside the Dorm at that time.

The Ra kicked himself mentally 'Look at me! Why am I even doing this! Laviss has the right to see whomever she wants on her own time.'

'Yes, but to see what's his name... Chad? Was it? On a Saturday? Heck, she didn't even wake up for the school drill that happened last month.'

'His name is Chazz, and I know perfectly well Laviss is a stubborn girl to wake up on the weeken-'

'POINT being...' Bastion narrowed his eyes at the rude interruption 'This guy's moving on you're territory!'

The Ra closed his eyes and tried not to get angry. 'Laviss is NOT some sort of land piece.'

'Sorry.' Bastion nodded at the improper apology 'What I meant to say was. This GUY'S moving on YOUR girl!' Bastion was about to retort that she wasn't his girl but the voice didn't let him. 'I mean that guy has the gull to take away YOUR girl! After ALL the trouble you had to go through, he just suddenly comes out of NOWHERE and tries to be the smooth one! God! That just pisses me off! It should piss you off as well too! No wait... it does! I mean that guy looks like a moron. I bet he he doesn't even know how to-'

Bastion tuned the voice out. He was really glade he was able to do that. He didn't know how he would managed if he had to listen to that ramble. His eyes then went back to Laviss and his previous thought, before he was interrupted by the stupid annoyance of a voice. She wasn't under his control. He mentally sighed. If she wanted to see and talk to Chazz, She was able too. No matter how much is made him sick to his stomach to see that. "I see... with Chazz.… may I ask why?"

"He just wanted to talk to me about yesterday's duel." she said plainly

The black haired Ra was a bit relieved in that for some reason. He shook his thoughts away. He didn't want another ramble coming from that stupid voice. "You know, now that you mention it. That was pretty bold of you for kicking both of Chazz's brothers." Bastion then gave her a blunt look "And also idiotic."

Laviss frowned "Why? They deserved it after the way they treated Chazz! I know it's none of my business, but family shouldn't treat each other like that!"

"Yes but I'm worried." he said softly

Laviss raised a brow "About what?"

"Both of Chazz's brothers have power. A lot of it actually." Bastion frowned "The two are at the top of the financial and political world. I'm worried that they might get you back for that kick you gave them."

Laviss stopped and looked at the Ra "Don't worry Bastion. They don't scare me." she then turned serious "Even if they do have all this so call 'power'... they can't do a thing to me."

Bastion was taken a back by her bold statement "But-"

"Don't worry." Laviss smiled softly "I'm going to be fine."

He stared at the red head. He wanted to believe her. But the fact that two very powerful people with a lot of money could kill her and make it look like an accident is what was making him think otherwise. Laviss smiled in reassurance. The boy let out a sigh. He didn't want to agree with her but if it was just to appease her he would. The girl grew happier when she saw her friend nod. With no warning she attacked the Ra with a hug. Bastion was startled by her actions but didn't complained about it.

"Well, well look at what we have got here." interrupted a voice

Laviss and Bastion separated from each other and looked at who interrupted their moment. Bastion glared at the person, while Laviss took on an impassive look.

"What do you want?" Laviss asked

"What? Is it illegal to walk around campus now?" said the person

"It should be for you." retorted the red head

The girl scoffed "You're just jealous I'm ACTUALLY attractive. Most guys would die to be around me. I bet even HE is trilled to be in my presence." she said while pointing to Bastion

"To tell you the truth I don't find your presence with the trill which you speak of." replied Bastion, never lifting his glare

"Whatever. Like I ever want a nerd, like you, to like me anyways."

Laviss glared and took a step forwards "Don't talk to him like that. If you're here to insult people, then leave. No one wants you around."

"Shut up you man stealing slut!" cried the girl

"You're still going on about that?" Laviss said in disbelief "Look just because I'm around Zane, that doesn't mean I'm his girlfriend. Being around my friend doesn't make me a slut!"

"SHUT UP! LOOK, I CHALLENGE YOU TO A DUEL! SAME STAKES AS BEFORE! WINNER GETS ZANE'S HEART, LOSER TAKES A HIKE FOREVER!" said the Obelisk girl

"No." Laviss said coldly

The girl smirked with her arms crossed. "I'm not taking no for an answer."

Laviss rolled her eyes "Too bad for you, because that's my answer."

The Obelisk chuckled "Sorry, but like I said I'm not taking no for an answer. You ARE going to duel me or else."

Bastion rose a brow "Or else what?" he asked

The girl smirked "I'll make you're life a living hell."

"Isn't it already? Just seeing you is hell itself."

The girl turned bright red. "Look, come to the Obelisk Arena tomorrow afternoon and be ready to duel. If you're not there… well, let's just say your stay here won't be a pretty." said the Obelisk as she started to walk off

"Oh I'm so scared." Laviss said sarcastically after her

"TOMORROW AFTERNOON! BE THERE OR YOU'LL PAY! IT'LL BE A LOT WORSE THAN LAST TIME!" cried the Obelisk

Laviss narrowed her lilac eyes after the blonde's retreating figure. Bastion watched as she groaned and pinched the bridge of her nose.

"Lav-"

"Gather the guys and tell them to meet us at Zane's spot." Laviss moaned

The Ra grew concerned about his friend but he did as he was told and took out his P.D.A. But as Bastion was about to write the message, he noticed his red head companion walking quickly. "Wait! Laviss Where are you going!" he yelled after her

Laviss didn't respond and left Bastion standing alone, staring at her backside as it disappeared.

Bastion had half a mind to go after her and asked what in Newton's Third Law was going on. He didn't like that Laviss was troubled. She shouldn't be, at least that's what he thought. After all, the fangirl wasn't wroth Laviss' attention, let alone her participation to a silly duel. Bastion glanced down at his hand held device. This whole situation was absurd.


It was half an hour later that Laviss came to the lighthouse. There she saw the gang, all present and accounted for, save for one individual.

"Where's Chumley?" the red head asked

"He's back at the dorm, eating. We promised we would fill him in on everything once we returned." answered Sy

Laviss shook her head at the predictability of the huge Slifer 'Of course, that's Chum for ya.'

"So what's up? Why'd you call us here?" asked Chazz

"Is something wrong?" asked Alexis

"Yes and no." said Laviss casually

"What do you mean?"

The Ra click her tongue "Bastion and I had a run in with one of Zane's fangirls."

The sound of his name being said as well as the world 'fangirls' made Zane stand straight. Its never good news when his rabid stalkers were involved. He had a feeling as to which one Laviss was speaking of. However, he hoped he was terribly wrong. "Which one?" he asked

"Remember the one with the poofy blonde hair and the outfit that was 10 times too small for her?" she asked. Zane groaned. Why couldn't he be wrong this time?

Everyone else gaped and screamed "HER!"

"Indeed, and it looks like she's even more demanding." Bastion frowned "She threatened Laviss to duel her tomorrow."

"The girl told me, if I'm not at the Obelisk Arena by tomorrow, afternoon then my stay here won't be a pretty one." said Laviss as she leaned near the lighthouse "I don't even know the girl's name for crying out loud." she glanced over at the gang "Do any of you do?"

They all shook their heads. Chazz, on the other hand, was completely lost. He didn't have a clue as to what they were talking about. And The Chazz, didn't like being out of the loop. So it wasn't a surprised that he became irritated and blurred out "Who's this girl you guys are talking about?"

The guys then retold everything that happened involving the Obelisk girl.

Chazz went silent for a while, soaking in everything that they told him. Before he looked at the Ra straight in the eye. "What are you gonna do?" he asked. Laviss shrugged her shoulders

"Are you gonna duel her?" asked Jaden "Cuz if you are, then let me tell you it's going to be so sweet to-"

"I don't know." interrupted Laviss

Chazz raised a brow at her soft spoken voice "What? Are you actually scared of what this chick's gonna do to you?"

"No… it's just…" Laviss didn't finished her sentence and instead lowered her head.

"What is it then?"

Laviss didn't say a word. The air was in a standstill. No one knew what to say to the red head and she wasn't saying anything as well. Finally after several minutes the Ra girl, lifted her head and watched as the sky started to turn a shade of orange. "Never mind. I guess... I have to duel her or spend the rest of my years here with HER pestering me day in and out."

Bastion and the rest of the guys looked at the Ra in concern. Laviss gave them a weak smiled before she moved away from the lighthouse.

"Laviss…" started Alexis "You know you can tell us anything."

The Ra nodded "I know…"

"So... you ARE going to be there, right?" asked Jaden

"JADEN!" cried Alexis as he hit the Slifer on the head "Don't ask her that!"

"WHY! I'M KINDA CONFUSED IF SHE'S GOING TO DUEL OR NOT!" cried the brunette as he nursed his head

Laviss shrugged and started walking away "I'll see you guys later."

The gang just looked at each other as Laviss left the area.

"I'm going with her, just in case." said Bastion as he started to follow Laviss. But Jaden grabbed his arm before he took another step.

"Jaden… what are you doing?" asked Alexis

"Nothing… it's just. I think Lavs needs to be alone for a while." he responded

Bastion was shocked. He couldn't believe what he was saying. That was the LAST thing he would ever do."Jaden! Did you forget the last time she was alone!" he cried "She was hurt very badly!"

"Hurt badly?" Chazz said out loud. He looked at the tiny Slifer for an explanation

"We'll tell you later." said Syrus and returned his attention back to Jaden and Bastion

"I didn't forget! I don't think any of us would forget that." Jaden said somberly "I just think she needs sometime alone to... think."

Bastion glared at the Slifer before he looked at the others "What if she runs into trouble? After all, the reason why we came together was because Zane's fangirl threatened her! What if she does something to Laviss!"

"I think she'll be ok."

"Ok?... OK! How would you know!" cried Bastion.

Jaden took a quick glance at Chazz before he responded to the Ra "I just know." he said.

Bastion closed his eyes. He didn't believe the crap that was coming out of the Slifer. He promised himself that he wouldn't leave Laviss' side ever again. He didn't want anything bad happening to her again. He opened his mouth to speak but he wasn't able to thanks to a certain someone.

"The slacker does... kinda... have a point." Chazz stated. Everyone looked at the ex-Obelisk with disbelief. Chazz frown. He didn't like the fact that everyone was looking at him like a retarded fish "What!" he cried

"You… agree with Jaden?" said Alexis

Chazz's face turned slightly red. He faced the other way as to not let the others see his blush "So! What of it?"

Syrus timidly looked at him "W-Well... I can name a million reasons as to why-"

"OK! Look! The point is, Laviss doesn't need any of us to be with her!" Chazz cried "Like the Slacker said, she'll be fine... it's... a... feeling."

Bastion, Zane, Syrus, and Alexis looked at each other. This was weird beyond anything they've ever seen! One would think the Apocalypse was near since Chazz AGREED with something that Jaden said.

Jaden gave a small nod to Chazz. The black haired boy just scoffed and stuck his nose in the air in response. It was obvious to the two that the rest of the guys wouldn't understand. But that was because they saw something that made them trust Laviss to be safe… well more so Jaden since Chazz didn't know what the heck happened to Laviss.

Sure enough, having Sonic Shooter follow Laviss put some ease in Jaden to let her go on her own.


The next day was nerve-racking. Laviss couldn't stand still without pacing every 10 seconds. It didn't help that she couldn't sleep last night. The thought of dueling kept her wide awake. The red head placed a hand over her eyes as she sat on the grass. She thought going outside would calm her nerves down. Oh how wrong she was with that.

She moved her hand away from her face and watched the clouds slowly passed by in a snail's pace. It was a good day to be outside, she just wished that she didn't have this bulk of stress weighing down on her.

Laviss sighed and leaned against the tree behind her. She turned her head to see Shooter being lazy as ever. The duel spirit sensed someone looking in his direction. He didn't need to guess at who it was since there was only one person within the vicinity. Nevertheless, he opened one of his eyes to see the red head, which he loved dearly, watching him.

"Yes." he said slyly

The Ra blinked in confusion "Huh?"

"Are you alright?" asked Shooter

The girl nodded her head "I am… why?"

Shooter grinned "Well, I'm not one to complain but you HAVE been staring at me for a while now."

"Oh… sorry." said Laviss and moved her glance away from him; missing the playful taunt of her monster's words.

"You seem off today." he said with concern "Are you that nervous?"

Laviss smiled at his words "Maybe… I don't know."

"Hey." The Ra turned her head as her monster moved right in front of her "You're gonna do fine. It'll be just like old times, right?" said Shooter

Laviss didn't answer him. Instead she turned her head towards the sky. 'It's not going to be like usual Shooter. If it was… then I wouldn't be doing this.'


It was already noon and the Obelisk Arena was filled with quite a few people. Normally the duel arenas weren't as full during the weekend. But this duel seemed to be one that most were dying to see. As more people gather to take a seat, the blonde Obelisk girl was already on stage.

"Wow, I didn't think so many people were gonna show up!" said Syrus

"Yeah, I thought it was just gonna be us, Laviss, and that girl." said Jaden as he looked around

"Apparently word got out of Laviss' duel." said Bastion as he joined in

"Yeah and one guess as to who blabbed it out." said Alexis as she glared at the Obelisk on stage

The gang, who were the first ones to arrive, were seated up front where they could see the duel better and to give support to Laviss. That is if she showed. As the crowed waited for Laviss to arrive, the Obelisk who challenged her made no stop as to comment loudly of her winning and how Laviss was too much of a chicken to even show up.

The time was now 1:00 and there was still no sign of Laviss coming. The gang and the rest of the audience were wondering if she decided to not duel. Another hour passed and everyone knew at that point she wasn't coming. As everybody starting to leave, the Obelisk cheered at her easy win.

"YES! I KNEW SHE WOULD BACK DOWN! ZANE DEAR! GET READY TO LOVE AND BE WITH ME FOREVER! I KNEW THAT SLUT DIDN'T HAVE THE GUTS TO SHOW UP! AND NOW SHE WON'T EVEN SHOW THE REST OF FACE ONCE I'M THROUGH WITH HER!" she cheered in victory

The guys glared at her with bitterness as she jumped around stage. But they were more concern about Laviss. Did she really decide not to show up?

As the dancing blonde loft in her victory, a pair of eyes lazily looked at her behind the shadows.

"ALRIGHT TIMES UP! I WIN BY DEFAULT! THE WHORE MUST'VE KNOWN THAT I WAS TOO MUCH OF A CHALLENGE FOR HER! I BET SHE'S CRYING LIKE A BABY RIGHT NOW! SHE KNEW SHE WAS GONNA BE BEATEN! BUT THAT'S JUST WHAT YOU'D EXPECT FROM A LOW RATE SCRUB DUELIST! HA! LIKE I SAID, MY WIN IS AN EASY ONE! AND I DIDN'T HAVE TO DO ANYTHING!"

"I wouldn't count on that." said a voice near the entrance way

Most people stopped what they were doing as they saw the red head walk towards the stage. Seeing the familiar yellow uniform, everyone ran back to their seats and waited anxiously for the duel to begin.

"What took you so long!" taunted the Obelisk

"That's none of your concern." said Laviss as she put the bag she carried on the ground

"Well you're late." smug the Obelisk "The deadline's already over. I win, you lose! And since you didn't come on time that mean-"

"You're an idiot." panned Laviss

The girl froze "What?"

Laviss rolled her eyes "You said be here in the afternoon. So here I am."

"But you're late!" the blonde cried

"You never really gave me a specific time. You just said be here in the AFTERNOON. So technically I'm not late. Unless you don't know the meaning of the word afternoon. Do you?"

Several snickered at the Obelisk's ignorance. The girl turned red and tried to play it cool. She stood in her place and shouted at the top of her lungs. "OH YEAH! WELL YOU'RE STILL LATE! SO I WIN AUTOMATICALLY!"

"Yeah about that… I don't think that's going to work out. You see all of them." said Laviss as she indicated to the crowd of students "Well... I think it'll be rude if we don't give them something for waiting ever so patiently. I myself didn't even think that this duel was going to be seen be everyone else, save for my friends." Laviss placed a finger on her chin in thought "Hm, I wonder whose fault that is." she said and bluntly looked at her rival.

The blonde turned her head away with her arms crossed. "Whatever. Maybe this way you'll learn not to mess with me. It'll be fun crushing you like the stupid shitty bug you are." and with that the girl activated the duel disk that was on her left arm.

"Yeah, yeah." said Laviss tiredly as she open her sack and took out a duel disk. Looking at the white device in her hands, Laviss closed her eyes and took a deep breath.

"Ha! I was right, wasn't I! You don't know how to activate a duel disk! Man you ARE pathetic-"

"The only pathetic thing here is you." hissed Laviss and slid the disk on her left arm. She then placed her hand behind her where her deck box, which was strapped to her waist by a belt. Her arm slightly trembled.

"Look at that! You're trembling! Gosh… do you want to quit already." mocked the girl

"Shut it!" screamed Laviss and activated her duel disk

The Obelisk girl grinned, knowing in her mind that this was going to be an easy win.

"LET'S DUEL!" they both shouted

After that the crowd started to cheer as the duel commenced.

"GO LAVS! YOU CAN DO IT!" yelled Jaden. Laviss turned and smiled to him and the gang.

The blonde rolled her eyes and huffed as she saw the Ra girl turning her attention back to her. "Are you finished?" she sneered

"I just have one question." said Laviss

The girl was taken back that she wanted to ask something. However she didn't let her guard down this time. Whatever she would ask she would be ready

"What's your name?"

Except for that. The Obelisk fell over "YOU'RE DUELING ME AND YOU DON'T EVEN KNOW MY NAME!" she cried

"I already told you… I DON'T KNOW YOU!"

"Hmph, if you're SO desperate as to know who I am." Laviss grumbled at her narcissist "It's Nina." she said and flipped part of her hair back "Now that you know my name, its time for me to win."

"You keep thinking that."

Nina's face was red again with anger. "Beauty before ugliness, k…" she said as she drew "I'll first start off by summoning Dancing Fairy (1000) in defense mode and I put one card face down. Your move, that is if you can make one."

"Ha-ha-ha, your so funny." Laviss said dryly as she drew. By now most people were on the edge of their seats to see what card Laviss would be bringing out. "I set a card in defense mode and place a face down. I end my turn." said Laviss. The crowd fell over at her so called turn.

"COME ON LAVS!" said Jaden as he got up "YOU SERIOUS!"

"To think, we still don't get to see her cards, even in a duel." said Alexis also recovered from the fall

"What! You're not going to attack!" exclaimed Nina

"Why? Was I suppose to." said Laviss innocently

Nina frowned as she drew again. "It doesn't matter now… I activate my Fairy's special effect. See during my Standby phase, my fairy can increase my life points to 1000" said Nina as she gained 5000 life points "What cha gonna do now? Bet you're regretting not attacking my Dancing Fairy."

"No… not really." answered Laviss tiredly "You done?"

"NO I'M NOT DONE! Next I summon my Fairy Guardian (1000) in attack mode and have her attack your monster card! Go dust slash!" said Nina as her fairy destroyed the card "HA! What a waste of a turn!"

"You know, you shouldn't really talk like that." advised Laviss

Nina scoffed "Like I'll listen to you!"

The Ra fought the urge to roll her eyes… and the need to hit the Obelisk in the face "Your monster just destroyed my Sangan and whenever he gets destroyed I'm allowed to pick a monster with 1500 or less attack points from my deck to my hand." said Laviss as she picked her card and shuffle her deck back into the duel disk

"Whatever, next I'll put another face down and I end my turn." said Nina

Laviss drew her card "I reveal my face down, Raigeki. With this spell card I can destroy all of your monsters on the field."

"WHAT!" screamed Nina as both her fairies were gone

"YEAH WAY TO GO LAVS!" shouted the Slifer trio

Smiling Laviss continued "Next I summon Newdoria (800) in defense mode and place once card face down. That'll be it for now."

"Oh what are you… SCARED!" screamed Nina as she drew "Well its time I pay you back for destroying my two beautiful fairies. And ugly there is going to have a century worth of pain. I summon Cure Mermaid (1500) and with her I attack your hideous monster! GO FIN SPLASH!" soon Newdoria was gone "Ha! That monster was as ugly as its owner! I did all of us a favor in sending that pitiful excuse for a monster-"

"HEY! Just because Newdoria wasn't as beautiful as your monsters, that doesn't mean you get to badmouth him! Besides your far beyond wrong as to call him pitiful."

"Oh yeah and why's that?" said Nina, confidently

"He has a special ability. Whenever Newdoria is sent to the graveyard, during battle, I can select one monster on the field and destroy it."

Nina widened her eyes "N-No…"

"Oh yes, and I chose the only available monster you have, your Cure Mermaid." said Laviss and soon Nina's mermaid was gone "It's my turn and I activate the spell card Giant Trunade. With this card, every single trap and spell card on the field are sent back to our hands." with that Nina had two cards back while Laviss had one

"Lavs is playing pretty good and her monsters are sweet as well." commented Jaden

"Yeah, but what I don't get is why she's only defending?" said Syrus "I mean, not one of them has lost any points. And the only change in life points that's happened was with Nina. But her points were raised instead of lowered."

"Well we can't tell for certain, but Laviss must have a plan. After all she has cleared the field of monster, spell, and trap cards." said Bastion as he kept looking at the duel

"Next I summon Barrier Statue of the Abyss (1000)."

"EW! Another one! Seriously what is it with you and ugly monster?" said Nina. She soon covered her mouth "Whoops… I'm sorry. I forgot that's the only thing you can get since you're ugly yourself."

Laviss closed her eyes as her arm started to tremble. Though it went unnoticed by most, it wasn't for one person "You should be wary as to what you say. Besides I was never finished with my turn."

"Whatever… just hurry up." Nina said impatiently

Ignoring her, Laviss went on. "I sacrifice my Statue of the Abyss to summon my fiend… THE END OF ANUBIS (2500)!"

"Whoa 25 hundred attack points!" said Syrus

"With that monster Lavs can destroy half of Nina's life points." said Chumley

"It won't matter! Do your worst, I'll find a way to defeat you." said Nina

"Is that so… well that's too bad considering you won't have a turn to do it."

The Obelisk narrowed her eyes "What are you talking about?"

"Like I said, you should be wary of what you say. I'm still not finish. I equip my Anubis with Megamorph."

"Mega- what?"

"Megamorph, as long as my life points are lower than yours I can double the attack points of one of my monsters. And since you have 5000 and I 4000… well, I guess my Anubis will be able to get those points."

"B-BUT WAIT!" stuttered Nina as she started to tremble while Laviss' monster started to gain its points

"5,000 ATTACK POINTS!" yelled the gang, while Zane's eyes widen at the scene

"ANUBIS, ATTACK NINA WITH CLAWS OF JUDGMENT DEMISE!" cried Laviss as Nina's life points went down to 0. Soon the crowed got up and cheered.

Laviss took a deep breath and glanced over at the Obelisk. The blonde started mumbling something inaudible. But with the crowds cheers most didn't know that she was saying anything. But Laviss did. Her lilac eyes widen after what she just heard.

Though she didn't get to do anything as Nina ran away from the arena. Laviss was soon taken from her shock when her head became a target for Jaden. He grabbed her in a head lock and messed around her hair.

"Oi… Jaden get off!" said Laviss as she struggled against him. At that he was quickly pulled off from the Ra. The Slifer smiled weakly as he was held up by Bastion and Zane.

"Great duel Lavs!" cheered Sy

"Yeah, I never really thought that you would have some sweet cards." said Jaden as he was let go by the Ra and Obelisk

"Thanks but I wasn't that good." said Laviss sincerely

"No way! That was a totally licious match!" praised Chumley

"Yeah… hey listen I'm going to turn in early. It's been a tiring day for me." said Laviss

"Do you want me to walk you back?" asked Bastion

"Nah… I'll be fine." said Laviss. The guys gave her a yeah-right look. "I promise! If anything happens to me… I'll scream really, really loud that you guys might never want to hear me speak again."

Shooter appeared right behind her and gave a look of reassurance to Chazz and Jaden. The two Slifers looked at each other before they nodded to one another.

"Sure." Jaden said nonchalant

Laviss smiled as she walked off, Shooter following suit. All five duelists looked at Jaden after Laviss was out of their view.

The Slifer's eyes looked at the guys, confused at why they were glaring "What?"

"Jaden-"

"Why did you say that!" cried Bastion as he interrupted Alexis

"What? I just had… another feeling. You too didn't you Chazz." said Jaden as he turned to the dark haired boy

Chazz crossed his arms. He didn't answer the brunette which made Jaden sweat a little for his life. He was left alone to face three angry duelists. One of the three having a murderous intent.

Jaden chuckled nervously "Heh… yeah, but you know that duel really made me want to get my game on." he said as he tried to change the subject "I just wished I could've dueled Laviss."

To his misfortune it didn't work. The guys were still glaring. That freaking him out. Jaden quickly turned to Chazz, but he seemed to care less if he was heading to his grave earlier than expected.

"Hey you guys!" said a voice.

"Dorothy! What are you doing here?" asked Jaden. Thanking the universe for giving him another chance to live.

"Why else? I came to see the duel. And what a match it was!" said Dorothy "It's just..."

"What's wrong Dorothy?" asked Syrus

"Well… I'm not sure if I should tell you-"

"Tell us! Tell us! Tell us!" said Jaden but he soon had a big bump on his head

"If she can't tell us, then she can't, got that!" said Alexis as she held her fist in front of her

"Does it involved Laviss, Mrs. Dorothy?" asked Bastion

"Um, yes… well you see. Laviss was in my shop earlier in the morning… and well… to make the story short… the deck that she used in the duel… it was assembled this morning."

"Wait so you mean to say that Laviss made the deck she used in the duel…TODAY!" said Chazz

"So then that wasn't Lavs' real deck." said Jaden disappointed

"I think that's just the half of it." said Zane

"What are you talking about Zane?" asked Alexis

"During some parts of the duel, her arm was trembling. Nina thought that it was because she was scared, but she was wrong."

Jaden gave a look to the older student "I don't get you."

Bastion then widens his eyes and gasped "You're right! Now that you mention it, it's strange that Laviss would play like that."

"What are you talking about!" cried Chazz

"Laviss is a left handed person." said Bastion

"So?" said Chazz

"So, if Laviss writes with her left hand, then why did she put the duel disk on her left arm?" said Zane "All of us here are right handed and we use our duel disks on our left hand, right."

Alexis soon got what the Obelisk was getting at "I see! Then that means a left handed person would use their right arm."

"So wait a minute! Lets back up a bit." said Jaden "LAVS WRITES WITH HER LEFT HAND! HOW COME NOBODY EVER TOLD MY THAT!"

The brunette was quickly on the ground with different beatings everywhere.

"Ignoring the Slacker." Chazz began before he gave one last kick to the poor boy "How does it concern any of us that Laviss used the wrong arm to play with?"

"Well think about it, Laviss used her left arm to use a duel disk when in reality she's left handed. She uses a deck that she assembled this morning and not her original deck. Its a little strange for Laviss to be doing all of this." said Alexis

"Not really. It's not any of my business. If she wants to do all of that then fine by me, it's not like I care."

"Oh, come on Chazz! Don't be like that. I mean after all, Lavs was the one who stood up for you against your bros." said Jaden

Chazz blushed at the Slifer's comment "Shut it!" he sneered and turned his back to the gang

"But he's right you know. It really isn't our business on how Lavs wants to duel." said Syrus

"Not unless she's trying to hide that fact that she's an undercover spy, working for some mafia gang. And in reality she's trying to help her family's financial problems by working with this said mafia. But the truth is she's really a princess from another dimension, but was sucked through a portal which landed her here in our world. And now her world is in danger and need Lavs to save them. While the mafia gang, that Lavs works for, is the real cause of the problem but they're keeping her busy to not discover about her birthplace. So she was sent to Dual Academy and now is confuse about what to do since she now knows she's from a different dimension. And is trying to figure out a way to get back to her birthplace but is also keeping a low profile here so as to not involved any of us in her plans to return home and help her save her kingdom." said Jaden proudly

Everyone looked at Jaden with either a crazed look or an annoyed one.

"Jaden." Alexis said slowly "Did you eat that candy bar Chumley gave you?"

"No." he answered innocently

"Lets just go." said Chazz as he started to walked towards the exit

The rest agreed with the new Slifer and headed towards the door. But Syrus stopped when he saw his best friend wasn't walking with them. "What is it Jay?"

Jaden looked kept staring at the arena Laviss and Nina dueled. He shook his head before he joined alongside Syrus. "It's nothing Sy. Let's go."

Syrus looked worried. He looked back to where Jaden was staring but found nothing out of the ordinary. Nothing was suspicious. 'So why was Jay looking like something bad happened?' The Slifer shook his head. Maybe it was just the candy. Sugar did make Jaden do some crazy things.
