Yu-Gi-Oh GX: Season 2 – The Gentle Darkness vs The Light of Destruction
Last time, Jaden and the others ran into a guy named Lucien Grimley who was a student from North Academy. He was tired of always losing so he had made a deal with the Grim Reaper, he would give him the power to always pull off his one turn kill in exchange for Lucien's soul once the tournament was over. However Jaden managed to survive Lucien's one turn kill combo with Slash Draw and made Lucien believe in his deck again which made him end his deal with the Reaper. He then dueled against Jaden with everything he had but he still lost, even though he had had fun and promised that he would duel Jaden again someday in the future, what will happen to the gang next?
Chapter 36- Crowler & Bonaparte vs Pegasus
AT THE SLIFER CAFETERIA,
Jaden stopped eating and looked at Syrus shocked, "Are you serious, there is a rumor about Crowler and Bonaparte getting fired?"
Syrus nodded while Hassleberry was eating next to him, "Yeah, and after everything they have done, I'm surprised that's all Sheppard's doing to punish them".
Chazz closed his eyes, "Well they deserve it, it's their fault Sartorius and his goons has almost taken over the school". Syrus looked at Chazz with a raised eyebrow, "If memory serves me right, you were the first one of those goons and helped him get more of them". Chazz got a troubled look on his face when he heard that, he had helped take down a lot of the white students but Syrus still kept bringing that up from time to time.
Hassleberry chuckled, "If I was Crowler and Bonaparte, I would try and get on Sheppard's good side as much as possible right now". Jaden nodded, thinking that that was most likely the only thing those two could do right now if they wanted to keep their jobs.
AT THE SAME TIME AT SHEPPARD'S OFFICE,
Sheppard was sitting at his desk thinking about what Linda had told him, about how Sartorius had gotten his hands on the control system for the laser satellite SORA after he defeated Prince Ojin.
He closed his eyes, "Him having control over that satellite is definitely not good at all, I have to do something, but what?" He then opened his eyes and looked towards the doors to the office when he heard them open.
He saw how Crowler and Bonaparte came in to the office with a bunch of GX medals in their arms, "Alright Crowler, check out all of these medals, I did an amazing job against the pros, much better than you anyway".
Crowler looked at him with a mocking look on his face, "Oh please, I have way more medals than you Bonaparte and you know it, which means I'm superior to you".
Bonaparte turned towards him, "In your dreams ponytail, I'm superior to you". Crowler glared at him, "In your dream short stuff, I'm…"
Sheppard placed a hand on his forehead, "What did I do to deserve these two buffoons? Can we do this later please? I'm expecting a visitor".
Crowler and Bonaparte ignored him however and kept arguing, "See for yourself Crowler, I have more medals. which means that I beat more duelists than you".
Crowler looked at him with mocking look on his face, "Oh please! And how many of those medals are from freshmen, at least I won mine from top ranking duelists". Bonaparte narrowed his eyes, "I doubt a bunch of Slifers counts as top rank duelists".
The two of them continued to glare at each other, but now so had Sheppard finally had enough and he stood up from his desk, "Now listen here!" Crowler and Bonaparte looked at him terrified when they saw how angry he was, "Settle this on your own time, which you will have plenty of because I want you two out, and don't come back".
Crowler and Bonaparte threw the medallions up in the air in shock, "We just got fired!" They both screamed in shock and horror.
LATER AT THE HARBOR,
Crowler and Bonaparte was sitting at the docks depressed tossing small rocks into the water, "Well looks like we're both out of a job, what are we gonna do now Bonaparte?"
Bonaparte lowered his head, "I have no idea Crowler, this is such a disaster". Both of them then sighed depressed, they then heard someone call out to them and saw Jaden and his friends coming towards them.
Jaden looked at them, "Hey Dr Crowler, hi Bonaparte, what are you two doing way out here looking so depressed?"
Crowler looked down into the water, "Oh it's nothing at all Jaden, we're just fine, right Bonaparte?" Bonaparte nodded depressed,.
Jaden then raised an eyebrow, "Hold on, did you guys get fired?" Both Crowler and Bonaparte fell of the edge in shock when Jaden said that but managed to grab a hold of it before they fell into the water.
Jaden and the others looked at them shocked, "So you really did get fired?" Crowler and Bonaparte jumped up and stared at Jaden, "Who told you that, does anyone else know about it?"
Syrus looked troubled, "The whole school kinda knew about the rumor about you two getting fired". Crowler and Bonaparte froze up and turned pale white. Hassleberry looked at them, "They look like they have seen a ghost".
Jaden looked at him, "Uh I think you mean they look like they are ghosts". Bonaparte then sank down on his knees, "This is so not fair, what are we gonna do now?" Crowler then sank down on his knees as well as both of them began to cry, making Jaden and the others feel awkward.
However all of them then turned around when they heard a noise and then saw a helicopter coming towards the harbor, Jaden then smiled, "Hey guys check it out". He then pointed and all of them saw Pegasus waving at them. Hassleberry smiled, "It's Pegasus, wonder why he's back so soon".
Crowler looked shocked, "It really is Maximillion Pegasus, president of Industrial Illusion as well as the creator of Duel Monsters, but what is he doing here?"
Bonaparte got a smile on his face, "Perhaps he's hiring people right now, I hear his company's health benefits are quite magnifique ".
The helicopter then landed and Pegasus got out of it, he then heard someone call out to him, "Mr Pegasus sir". He followed the sound of the voice and smiled when he saw Jaden and his friends coming towards him, "It's nice to see you again, but why are you back so soon, everything alright?"
Pegasus smiled at him, "Actually that's what I'm here to find out, Chancellor Sheppard called me and it sounded quite urgent, so I'm on my way to a meeting with him right now".
Pegasus then turned around and was about to walk towards the main building when he almost fell to the ground, he looked down confused and saw Crowler and Bonaparte while both of them held onto Pegasus's legs, Crowler looked at him, "Don't go please, you got to hire us".
Bonaparte looked at him and nodded, "No job is too small, we'll even answer your phones for crying out loud". Jaden and the others looked shocked over how their former teachers were acting before Chazz sighed, "How pathetic can they get?"
Pegasus looked at them, "We have procedures for these sorts of things, now if you would be so kind as to let me go…" He tried to walk away but Crowler and Bonaparte refused to let go as Bonaparte said, "You don't understand, we're desperate men Pegasus".
Pegasus looked down on them, "Yes that's as clear to me as the water is wet, now I suggest that you fill out an application". He then began to slowly move towards the main school building while pulling Crowler and Bonaparte on the ground while they were still begging him to hire them.
Jaden rubbed the back of his head, "Well that's not something you see everyday". He then took out his PDA, "I think I should contact Sheppard and inform him that Pegasus might be a little late to their meeting.
A few moments later Sheppard's image appeared on Jaden's PDA as he answered, "Hello Jaden, what can I do for you?" Jaden smiled at him, "I just called to tell you that Mr Pegasus is here".
Sheppard smiled when he heard that, "That's excellent, thank you Jaden, could you please escort him to my office?" Jaden chuckled nervously, "Well the thing is that I called you to inform you of something else as well". Sheppard looked at him confused as Jaden looked up.
Pegasus who had fallen to the ground crawled forward, "For the last time, let me go!" Crowler shook his head, "Never, not a chance". Bonaparte nodded, "Not until you give us jobs".
Pegasus who had had enough sat up, "Alright fine, you're both hired". Crowler and Bonaparte began cheering before Pegasus got back up on his feet, "Hold on a second, before I actually hire you two you first have to prove yourself by defeating me".
Crowler and Bonaparte looked at him shocked, "You mean in a duel?" He looked at them with a smile, "Well what else could I possibly mean? And since I'm short on time, I'll take you both on at the same time".
Jaden looked at him, "So they're gonna duel huh?" Hassleberry nodded, "Yup, and I totally saw this coming".
Jaden looked at Sheppard, "Sorry to cut this short Sheppard, but Pegasus will be a bit late for the meeting, and now if you excuse me there is a duel I need to watch". Jaden ended the call before a confused Sheppard could ask what he meant.
Pegasus then stood across from Crowler and Bonaparte that stood a bit away from each other. Bonaparte looked at Crowler, "Alright Crowler, our careers are on the line here so listen, we can win this if we just play our cards right so don't mess this up".
Crowler looked at him with a frown, "Oh please I was just about to say the same thing to you".
Jaden looked at his friends, "I I know that Pegasus is good, but do you really think he can take both of them at once?" Syrus looked at him, "Of course, I mean he's Pegasus right?"
Chazz looked at Jaden, "Yeah, he only created the game after all, those two knuckleheads don't stand a chance against him". There was a part of Jaden who wanted to remind Chazz that Pegasus didn't exactly create the game since Duel Monsters had existed for thousands of years, only instead of cards they used real magic and real monsters in ancient times, of course he didn't say anything and just decided to watch the duel.
All three of the duelists drew their first five cards and looked at them, Bonaparte then placed his fingers in front of his deck in his Duel Vest, "I'll go first". His sixth card flew into his fingers and he looked at it, "Here comes monster number un, my Toy Soldier in attack mode". Toy Soldier appeared on the field, Atk: 800. Bonaparte looked at Crowler, "My turn is done, so now it's your move".
Crowler looked at him, "I'm aware of that, now I draw". He held out his hand in front of his deck and his sixth card flew into his fingers and he looked at it, "Now for monster number deux, my Ancient Gear Soldier in attack mode". Ancient Gear Soldier appeared on the field, Atk: 1300. Crowler looked at Pegasus, "And with that my turn is over".
Jaden looked at them, "I know that no one can attack on their first turn during a battle royal, but still they should at least place some spell or trap cards face down".
Syrus looked at him, "Maybe they don't feel that they need to yet". Chazz nodded, "Yeah after all Pegasus can't attack on his first turn either, so they don't really have to worry that much right now". Jaden sighed, thinking they might have a point there.
Pegasus then drew his next card, "Alright then gentlemen, let the fun begin". He looked at his card before he looked at Crowler and Bonaparte as he got an idea, "Let's up the stakes shall we?" The two of them looked at him confused before he continued.
"At the end of the duel, whichever of you have more life points left, shall receive a higher position at my company". Crowler and Bonaparte gasped in shock when they heard this, Pegasus then looked at them with a smirk, "Of course, first you have to defeat me, otherwise no job for either of you".
Crowler looked at him while he narrowed his eyes a little, "Are we talking bigger salary, less hours and more benefits?" Bonaparte narrowed his eyes a little as well, "And more vacation days right?"
Pegasus smiled, "Sure why not? It's not like you two are gonna win anyway. Now back to the duel, I now summon my little friend Toon Alligator in defense mode". A small cartoon alligator with a axe in its hand appeared on the field in a sitting position, Def: 1600.
Hassleberry smiled, "What a cute little gator". Jaden chuckled a little, since he had another word that he would describe Toon Alligator with, weird, but he decided not to say it out loud.
Pegasus then grabbed a card in his hand, "And next I end my turn by placing one card face down". A card then appeared in front of him.
Bonaparte, "Interesting choice Pegasus, but now it's my turn again". He held out his hand in front of his deck and his next card flew into his fingers and he looked at it and saw that it was his Forced March spell.
He then heard Crowler calling out to him and he looked at him, "Bonaparte, above all remember this, we're a team, so let's do this together". However Bonaparte narrowed his eyes a little as he remember what Pegasus had said earlier about that the one of them that had the most point left once the duel was over would receive a higher position at his company.
He then held out his hand, "I now activate my Toy Soldier's special ability, if he's face up on my field during my standby phase, I can summon any other Toy Soldier I have in my deck". Two more cards came out of his deck and he grabbed them and then summoned his other two Toy Soldiers, Atk x 2: 800.
Bonaparte then held up his Forced March spell card, "And next, I activate my Force March spell".
Crowler looked at Bonaparte, "You've made a good move for once, now for this turn by simply cutting your Soldier's attack points in half, they can strike Pegasus directly". The Toy Soldiers readied their weapons, Atk x 3: 800-400.
Bonaparte then pointed at Pegasus, "Ready boys? Soldier number un, fire". The first Toy Soldier fired at Pegasus who got hit in the chest, Pegasus LP: 4000-3600. Bonaparte then kept going, "Now Soldier number deux, fire". The second Toy Soldier fired at Pegasus who jumped back a little as it hit him in the side, Pegasus LP: 3600-3200.
Crowler had a happy smile on his face then he saw this, "Wonderful, and there is still one shot left to fire". Bonaparte looked at him, "I know…" He then pointed at Crowler, "And this one is for you, now fire". Crowler looked at him shocked.
The Toy Soldier turned towards Crowler and fired at him and hit him between his legs, Crowler then held his hands between his legs in pain, "That hurt". Crowler LP: 4000-3600. Crowler then growled and glared at Bonaparte, "We're on the same team, so what are you doing attacking me?"
Bonaparte looked at him, "Look Crowler, I want that job, the one with the corner office and better benefits" now I end my turn which means that my Toy Soldiers regain their full strength", Toy Soldier, Atk x 3: 400-800.
Crowler gritted his teeth, "Grr, you little traitor, if that's how you wanna play it…"
Pegasus chuckled when he saw how Crowler and Bonaparte glared at each other, Looks like those two don't like each other very much, I can use that to my advantage, he thought with a smile.
Crowler held his hand in front of his deck, "It's my turn now", his next card flew into his fingers and he looked at it, "Now I summon another Ancient Gear Soldier in attack mode". Another Gear Soldier appeared on the field, Atk: 1300.
Crowler then held up a spell card, "And next I activate my Ancient Gear Explosive spell card from my hand, so now I can choose one of you and then that player will take half of the attack points of one of my Gear Soldiers as damage".
He then pointed at Pegasus, "And I choose you Pegasus". Pegasus narrowed his eyes a little as a large gear appeared in the first Gear Soldier's hands, "And now Gear Soldier, attack him". Gear Soldier then tossed the gear towards Pegasus who gasped before it exploded, leaving him covered in soot, Pegasus LP: 3200-2550.
Bonaparte had a smile on his face, "Good work Crowler that was an excellent choice, now that's what I call teamwork".
Crowler glared at him, "That's what you think you little traitor, now my Gear Soldiers attack his Toy Soldiers". His two Ancient Gear Soldiers turned their gatling arms towards the Toy Soldiers and fired, destroying two of them, Bonaparte LP: 4000-3000.
Bonaparte glared at Crowler, "What are you thinking Crowler? If we want those jobs we have to work together here".
Crowler glared back at him, "You're one to talk since you stabbed me in the back first, besides I can't let you get your hands on the higher position he promised, that job belongs to me".
Syrus couldn't believe what he was seeing, "Are those two serious? If they don't work together they'll never win". Hassleberry nodded, "Indeed and that's why Pegasus turned them against each other, it's a smart tactic to use in battle".
Chazz sighed, "Give me a break, it's not like those two would have been able beat him anyway". Jaden sighed as he looked at the scene, "This is not a battle royal, it's a personal battle between Crowler and Bonaparte, I'm surprised they didn't ruin the school during the short time they were in charge, even though they were close a few times". The others nodded when he said that as they agreed with him.
Bonaparte glared at Crowler, "Just come out and say it ponytail". Crowler glared at Bonaparte, "Fine, this partnership is over, so from now on this is war little man".
Bonaparte nodded. "Fine by me, I'm finally free, no more Crowler to hold me back, so now I can crush both you and Pegasus on my own". Crowler gritted his teeth as sparks went between their eyes, "Oh please, you'll be begging for my help soon enough".
Pegasus looked then took out his clock and opened it up and looked at the time, he then closed his eyes frustrated and yelled out, "Can you two please cut it out? I'm already 15 minutes late for my meeting!"
Crowler and Bonaparte looked at him, "Fine, I end my turn". Pegasus nodded, "Alright about time, now then, it's my turn now". He drew his next card and looked at it, "And now I like to invite both of you to join me on a trip to toon land". Crowler and Bonaparte both looked at Pegasus completely confused.
Jaden looked at Syrus, "Toon land? What does he mean?" Syrus looked at him, "Well toons are kinda like creatures out of a manga, and I heard he like to use monsters that are kinda like cartoon creatures". Jaden nodded now understanding a bit and looked back at the duel.
Pegasus grabbed the five top cards of his deck, "Now I remove the top five cards of my deck from the game in order to activate the field spell card Toon Kingdom". A book that looked like a children's book appeared and opened up and out came a castle.
Pegasus looked at Crowler and Bonaparte, "Now as long as this card is on the field it's treated as Toon World as long as it on the field". He then laughed a little, "Do you two know what I love the most about cartoons? Anything can happen, in fact if usually does".
He then grabbed a card in his hand, "And next I sacrifice my Toon Alligator in order to summon Toon Dark Magician Girl". Toon Alligator then got sucked into the book and it closed and spun for a few seconds before it opened up again and out of the smoke that appeared came a cartoon version of Dark Magician Girl, Atk: 2000.
Syrus got a smile on his face, "She's pretty cute isn't she? I mean, for a cartoon that is". Jaden chuckled a little.
Dark Magician Girl appeared next to Jaden in spirit form and looked at the cartoon version of herself, "Indeed she looks adorable but I don't know, it feels weird to see a cartoon version of myself like this".
Jaden smiled at her, "I bet, nice to see you again, you haven't been out like this for a while now". Dark Magician Girl giggled a little and smiled at him, "Yeah sorry about that, I might come out a little more often from now on". She then kissed him on the cheek before she vanished.
Jaden then saw Syrus glaring a little at him, Jaden figured he must have both heard Dark Magician Girl and seen what had just happened and gotten jealous since he has such a big crush on the female magician. Jaden scratched his cheek with a troubled look on his face.
Pegasus smiled at Crowler and Bonaparte when he saw how shocked both of them was, "I know that my Toons are quite adorable but don't be fooled by their appearance, they can also be quite deadly, allow me to demonstrate".
He then pointed at Crowler, "Now since you don't have a Toon monster on the field, Toon Dark Magician Girl can attack you directly Crowler". Crowler looked worried as Toon Dark Magician Girl took and unleashed a magical blast at him which sent him flying onto his back, Crowler LP: 3600-1600.
Pegasus then held up a spell card, "And now I activate the spell card Shadow Toon, since I have Toon World on the field, I can now choose a monster on your side and dish out some direct damage which is equal to that monster's attack points, and I think I choose one of your Ancient Gear Soldiers Mr Crowler".
Crowler sat up, "What did you say?" Crowler saw how the Shadow Toon came up from underneath his second Gear Soldier's feet out of its shadow. Crowler was worried that Pegasus would go after him again with this card's effect.
However Pegasus turned towards Bonaparte, "And now, attack Mr Bonaparte". The Shadow Toon then took and covered Bonaparte for a second before it disappeared, Bonaparte LP: 3000-1700.
Hassleberry looked really impressed, "That's an impressive maneuver, that's quite a fortified deck he's got there".
Chazz sighed, "Duh like I told you, you just don't mess with Pegasus, this is his game, those two don't stand a chance".
Crowler got up while he gritted his teeth, "This is all your fault Crowler". Crowler looked at Bonaparte, "Why did you have to do and weaken my defenses?"
Crowler glared at him, "Me? You were the one who started all of this short stuff!" Bonaparte narrowed his eyes, "And I'm gonna finish it on my own, so now stay out of my way and let me show you how it's done".
He held out his hand in front of his deck and his next card flew into his fingers and he looked at it before he revealed it, "Now I activate my devastating spell card called The Crowning of the Emperor, so now I bid my last Soldier adieu…" The last Toy Soldier disappeared, "So I can summon my Toy Emperor to the field".
Toy Emperor then appeared on the field, Atk: 2300. Bonaparte then pointed at Toon Dark Magician Girl, "And now Toy Emperor, take down his Toon Dark Magician Girl!" Toy Emperor rode towards Toon Dark Magician Girl and slashed her with his sword, Pegasus LP: 2550-2250.
Bonaparte got a smirk on his face, "In your face Pegasus". However he then noticed that Pegasus had a smile on his face, "Don't forget boys we're in Took Kingdom now, so all the rules you know have changed, so now…" He took the top card of his deck and placed it in his pocket, "By removing the top card of my deck from the game, I negate my Toon Dark Magician Girl's destruction".
Bonaparte looked shocked, "You what?" He then saw how Toon Dark Magician Girl laughed while she bent her body in every possible and impossible way as she avoided Toy Emperor's sword as he tried to slash her.
Pegasus smiled as Toon Dark Magician Girl bowed, "As long as Toon World is on the field, my Toons will be able to avoid destruction, admit it, my Toons are so perfect that you don't know what to do right?"
Bonaparte looked troubled, "Uh maybe?" He then grabbed a card in his hand, "I place one card face down and end my turn, please go easy on me". He then sank down on his knees depressed.
Crowler then sank down on his knees just as depressed as Bonaparte, "Oh what's the point? We can't win against him".
Bonaparte nodded depressed, "You're right Crowler, as to be expected from the creator of Duel Monsters, he's too strong for us".
Pegasus looked at them, "Looks like you two have given up hope, however I can't blame you, after all the outcome of this duel should be clear already right? It's not your fault that you can't beat me, I invented these cards after all".
Bonaparte lowered his head depressed as he closed his eyes, "It makes a good point, what were we thinking anyway?" Crowler nodded as he also closed his eyes, "That's right, we never had a chance from the beginning".
Pegasus looked at him, "Since I really can't waste more time here, how about the two of you surrender now and I'll be on my way?" Crowler and Bonaparte looked at each other and slowly moved their hands towards their decks, ready to surrender.
However they both stopped shocked when Jaden called out to them, "Don't do it you two". They looked at Jaden who had a serious expression on his face, "This duel is not over yet you two, you have to keep fighting until the very end".
Crowler looked at Jaden shocked, "Jaden, you…" Jaden looked at them, "Until the end of a duel, there is always a chance that you can turn the duel around, remember that your students are watching you, so you can't just give up like that".
Crowler looked at him, "Jaden". He then smiled as he got back up on his feet with a determined look on his face now, "He's right, if I give up here then everything I have done for this academy will be for nothing".
Bonaparte got back up as well, "To think that a slacker had to remind us about this, we must've been losing it".
Crowler looked at Bonaparte with a smile, "Alright, now it's time for us to show them, we have to show our students our determination and fighting spirit". Bonaparte nodded and the gang smiled seeing that they had regained their will to fight.
Pegasus chuckled a little with his arms crossed, "So you want to continue dueling then?"
Bonaparte looked at him, "You bet, we will show our students our last duel at this academy, so if we're going down then we're gonna go down fighting". Crowler nodded, "That's right, we will not lose in a disgraceful way in front of our students". Pegasus narrowed his eyes.
Crowler placed his fingers in front of his deck, "Now it's my turn". His next card flew into his fingers and he looked at it, "And now I sacrifice both of my Ancient Gear Soldiers so I can summon my Ancient Gear Golem in attack mode".
The two Ancient Gear Soldiers disappeared and then Ancient Gear Golem appeared on the field, Atk: 3000. Pegasus had a fake worried expression on his face, "Oh no, a big scary monster, whatever am I gonna do? Oh wait I know, activate my trap card". Crowler looked worried when Pegasus said that.
Pegasus held out his hand, "I activate Toon Briefcase", his face down got flipped face up and a cartoon briefcase with eyes and teeth appeared, "Now if you summon a monster while I control a Toon monster on my field this card activates, it then takes the monster you summoned and shuffles it back in to your deck".
The Toon Briefcase flew towards Ancient Gear Golem, Crowler looked on in panic, "My Golem". Bonaparte had a smile on his face, "Don't worry I got your back Crowler". Crowler looked at him shocked.
Bonaparte pressed a button on his Duel Disk, "Now I activate Malfunction, so by paying 500 life points. I can negate the effect of your Toon Briefcase trap card and return it to its face down position", Bonaparte LP: 1700-1200. The Toon Briefcase stopped in front of Ancient Gear Golem before it disappeared and the card turned face down again, Pegasus was shocked since Bonaparte had just protected Crowler's Golem.
Crowler looked at Bonaparte with a smile, "You gave up some of your own life points in order to save my Golem?" Bonaparte nodded with a smile, "But of course, we're a team after all, so we have to look out for each other".
Jaden smiled, "Now that's more like it, they're getting along". Syrus smiled, "Yeah, but it only took half a year for that to happen".
Crowler looked at Pegasus with a smile as he grabbed another card in his hand, "And now since my Golem is safe I can continue with my move, so now I equip my Golem with the spell card Ancient Gear Fist". Ancient Gear Golem held up his left arm and a large mechanical fist covered his normal fist.
Crowler then pointed at Toon Dark Magician Girl, "And now my Gear Golem, attack his Toon Dark Magician Girl". Ancient Gear Golem launched his fist which he had the Ancient Gear Fist on towards Toon Dark Magician Girl who bent herself out of the way of the attack.
Pegasus chuckled as he placed the top card of his deck into his pocket, "Did you forget? Thanks to my Toon Kingdom, simply by removing the top card of my deck from the game, my Dark Magician Girl won't be destroyed by your attack", Pegasus LP: 2250-1250.
Crowler however had a smirk on his face, "I wonder if she's as safe as you think she is". Pegasus looked up shocked and then saw how the Ancient Gear Fist flew back towards Toon Dark Magician Girl who noticed it and tried to run away, however it opened up and trapped her inside of it before it vanished before it reappeared on Ancient Gear Golem's arm.
Crowler had a smile on his face, "You of all people should know this, but if a Ancient Gear monster battles a monster while equipped with Ancient Gear Fist, if the opposing monster for some reason would survive the battle then it's destroyed thanks to Ancient Gear Fist, and your Toons are only safe from battle".
Chazz had a small smile on his face, "He knew that Toon Dark Magician Girl was gonna survive the attack so he used a spell card that would destroy her after the battle was over, that's actually a clever move,
Pegasus sighed, "Finally a good move, I'm impressed, you're displaying good teamwork and dedication, but now it's my turn".
Pegasus then drew his next card and looked at it, "While this has been fun gentlemen, I have a meeting to get to so I'm ending this now, so it's time for me to play a card I haven't used in a duel for quite some time".
Crowler and Bonaparte looked at him confused as he placed the card into his Duel Disk, "Now I activate the equip spell card Comic Hand, and since I have Toon World on the field, I can pick a monster on your side and take control over it".
The book closed and spun for a few seconds before it opened up and a hand came out of it, it then stretched out and grabbed Ancient Gear Golem and pulled him into the book, much to Crowler's shock.
Pegasus, "And one more thing, Comic Hand also transforms the monster into a cartoon version of itself, so allow me to introduce Toon Ancient Gear Golem".
The book opened up and you could see a pair of eyes before the book fully opened up and out jumped Ancient Gear Golem, only now he really looked like he was from a cartoon, he was a lot smaller, and had large normal eyes.
Crowler got shocked when he saw what his most trusted monster had turned into, "What on earth have you done to my Golem?"
Pegasus had a smile on his face, "I just made him cuter that's all". Jaden on the others looked at each other troubled, if there was one thing you couldn't call Ancient Gear Golem so was it cute, no matter if he was a cartoon or not.
Pegasus then drew five cards from his deck, "And next I remove five cards from my deck so I can activate my Doppelganger spell card, so now my little furry friend here will take one card from your graveyard and place it in my hand, like your Ancient Gear Explosive".
A purple cartoon cat came out of the spell card and flew towards Crowler before he stuck his hand into Crowler's graveyard and pulled out Ancient Gear Explosive and flew back towards Pegasus. Bonaparte looked at it angry, "Give that back you thieving feline".
Pegasus then placed the spell card into his Duel Disk, "And next I activate Ancient Gear Explosive". Doppelganger then swallowed the spell card and became a large gear that Toon Ancient Gear Golem grabbed, Crowler took a step backwards looking nervous, "This isn't good".
Pegasus looked at Crowler with a smile, "You know the rest, my Ancient Gear Explosive can be used by any monster with Ancient Gear in the name, and then of course…"
Crowler narrowed his eyes, "I know full well how the card works, now half of your Toon Gear Golem's attack points will be subtracted from your opponent's life points, brace yourself Bonaparte".
Bonaparte looked at Crowler, "And what's that supposed to mean?" Crowler looked at him, "Gear Golem has 3000 points, so 1500 points of damage is coming your way since you only have 1200 left".
Toon Ancient Gear Golem then took and tossed the Gear Explosive towards a scared Bonaparte and it exploded once it reached him and he fell onto his back, Bonaparte LP: 1200-0.
Crowler looked at him, "Sorry about that, but I told you". Crowler then looked towards Pegasus as he spoke to him, "And you're next Crowler, now Toon Ancient Gear Golem, attack your former master directly with Mechanized Melee". Toon Ancient Gear Golem then threw his fist towards Crowler and it hit him, sending him to the ground as well, Crowler LP: 1600-0.
Jaden looked sad, "Oh man, losing so quickly after finally working together and doing some progress in the duel". Chazz looked at them, "You know, considering that it was those two, it could have been worse". Syrus and Hassleberry nodded as they agreed.
Pegasus walked up to Crowler and Bonaparte and looked at them, "Working at Industrial Illusion is not about dueling, it's about dedication, working together and never giving up, this duel was to see if you you were capable of all three of those things".
Bonaparte looked at him shocked with tears in the corner of his eyes, "Do you mean that…" He and looked at Crowler and both of them had smiles on their faces, "We have gotten ourselves new jobs". Both of them then hugged each other as tears of happiness ran down their cheeks.
Jaden and the others walked over to them, "So you two are really gonna leave the academy?" Syrus looked a little troubled, "Well one thing's for sure, this place won't be the same without the two of you". Hassleberry, "That's right, the two of you are unique".
Crowler and Bonaparte let go of each other and Crowler stood up, "Thanks kids and well, I'm gonna miss you too".
Bonaparte stood up as well, "You guys might be a bunch of slackers, but you're our favorite slackers and we will always remember you kids". Then both of them grabbed the gang and hugged them except for Chazz who managed to escape it.
He then turned around and saw Sheppard coming running towards them, "Uh guys?" Crowler and Bonaparte let go of Jaden, Syrus and Hassleberry and all of them looked at Sheppard who stopped in front of Pegasus while he tried to catch his breath, "There you are Pegasus".
Pegasus gave Sheppard and apologizing smile, "My apologies Chancellor Sheppard, I got a bit hung up". Sheppard turned around and looked at the gang as well as Crowler and Bonaparte, "Hung up with what? What's going on here?"
Hassleberry looked at him, "Well since you decided to fire Crowler and Bonaparte, they dueled against Pegasus for a chance at employment at Industrial Illusion".
Sheppard looked at them shocked, "Huh? Fired you?" Crowler looked at him, "Well you did tell us that you wanted us out and didn't want us to come back". Bonaparte nodded depressed as well.
Sheppard then remembered about earlier when he yelled at them, he scratched the back of his head sheepishly, "No that's not what I meant you two, it was only that you barged into my office when I was troubled and argued and I got tired of it, I didn't actually fire you two".
The gang and the two teachers looked at Sheppard shocked. Pegasus smiled happily, "That's wonderful isn't it? I felt troubled over the idea of taking you from your precious students".
Crowler looked at them a bit troubled, "So we're gonna stay here at the academy…" Bonaparte then finished the sentence, "And won't go to work at Industrial Illusion?"
Jaden then patted them on their backs, "Isn't that great you two? Now you don't have to leave". Crowler and Bonaparte nodded with fake smiles, after all they were a little disappointed about that they wouldn't be working at Industrial Illusion.
LATER THAT EVENING,
Jaden and Syrus stood at the Slifer Cliff and looked out over the ocean, "Looks like we will probably be stuck with Crowler and Bonaparte until we graduate from the academy". Syrus said.
Jaden nodded, "Yeah but you have to admit, it's rarely boring with them around". Syrus chuckled nervously but nodded as he agreed.
Jaden then looked at Syrus, "Also I know you want to talk about that scene with Dark Magician Girl earlier".
Syrus nodded, "How long has it been like that between you and her?" Jaden sighed and rubbed his head, "Well she has had a really flirty attitude with me since I got her but she made advances towards me during the battle with Camula, I talked with Alexis about it and since she didn't think a person could have a proper relationship with a spirit she didn't think it was a problem as long as I didn't like Dark Magician Girl more than her, of course she didn't like the idea at all very much but she knew that she couldn't do anything about it anyway so she had to accept it".
Syrus sighed, "Man I'm so jealous, after all I have had a crush on Dark Magician Girl for so long". Jaden chuckled a little and placed a hand on Syrus's back, "Yeah well come on buddy, time to get back inside". Syrus sighed and followed Jaden.
Jaden looked at Syrus, if he had had his decks with him out here then he had no doubt that Dark Magician Girl would have come out and tease Syrus since she most likely would have found him adorable.
Because of a misunderstanding Crowler and Bonaparte believed that they had been fired. So when Pegasus appeared on the island to have a meeting with Sheppard, they begged him for jobs. He would consider hiring them if they could beat him in a duel. But even though they lost he told them that it had been a test for them and they had passed, however Sheppard soon appeared at the harbor and once he understood the situation he cleared up the misunderstanding, which meant that Crowler and Bonaparte would be staying at Duel Academy. What will happen next? Continue reading to find out and please review.
P.S. Also the next chapter will be Jaden vs Alexis, and right now I wonder if I should use his E Hero/Neos deck or his Dragon Hero deck or if I should combine them for the duel. Also at the end Jaden and Alexis is gonna… cross the final line, but for those who is hoping for a detailed scene don't get your hopes up, I'm only gonna give hints that is telling the readers what they're doing.
