1Hey guys, new chapter. Sorry if it's a bit late, I've been working on a few things. But here we start off the real fun. Trinity Tournament! Round 1! I do not own Yugioh/GX/5Ds, Jump does.
First Round Starts, Infernal Infinity Vs. Fortune Teller
"Welcome back everyone. Today is the day that we kick off the first round of the Trinity Tournament!" Veina shouted above the never silent crowd. The excitement in the air in the Stadium was only contained only enough to keep the students from being louder than Veina. After the volume was lowered enough that Veina's words would be heard by everyone, she continued.
"Alright, once again, thank you all for coming out here today. Now, today we start the Duels that will decide the greatest of our three schools. But before you guys can start rooting for out school to win, you have to figure out who you'll be rooting for. So without further delay, our representative from the Black Dorm, Shawn Nicholas!".
Shawn walked out calmly before the applauding crowd. Some of it was forced as there were some Pluto worshipers and Mansen lackeys, but they all wanted their school to win and were ready to support Shawn if that was what was needed.
"Hello everyone. I'm going to try my best to show our school is the best and I thank you for your support" Shawn said, waving to the crowd as he backed up to stand beside Veina.
"We know you'll do a great job. Now, coming from the Purple Dorm is our next representative... Griever!" Veina announced. The students clapped in confusion, only the Mansen followers knowing who Griever was but they kept up a facade of not knowing who he was. With his cloak covering his body, Griever walked before the students. "Hello Griever, is there anything you want to say to you classmates?".
"Just know that I will, kah, be the one to end this competition"
"Alright then. Short, sweet, and to the point. Thank you Griever. Now, for our last contestant. Chosen under my opinion directly, Muriel Jenson" Viena said. Like Griever, this girl got some rather confused claps. Noone knew who this girl was, not even what she looked like. Well they found out when a petite girl in a female White Dorm uniform with black hair in a pageboy cut and her eyes hidden behind thick glasses walked before them.
"..."
"Don't you want to say anything Muriel?"
"..."
"Um... She's the strong, silent type people" Veina said to which people gave a weak applause. It was enough to embarrass the girl as her face became bright red and she hid behind Veina. "Don't worry honey, they're all proud of you".
"This is pathetic. We're facing one of the swine that stood up to me, a girl that is far too ombrageux, and a boy that hides his revolting face behind a masque" Louis spat in disgust.
"We'll remember that when one of them defeats you" Strafe said making Haruka giggle.
"Bah! None of them can defeat me. I am the King of Hell Dorm" Louis said proudly.
"Now, here are the rules for the Trinity Tournament. We'll be playing it by a Double Elimination rules. This means that a Duelist can lose once and still be in the game. When you lose a second time, that's it, you're out. This also gives each person a chance to face someone from each of the other two schools. This of course means that you won't be facing your teammates unless everyone else is eliminated, then it's just for the title of the champion" Veina explained.
"This may mean I'll have to face Shawn" San thought, her face showing a frown that did not belong with her normally happy attitude.
"Now, we'll let the computer randomize the first match of round one" Veina said turning to one of two screens set up recently. Names blurred by at an amazing speed before things started to slow down. It eventually landed on two people. "Alright, our first match is..."
Haseo's Ship
"Where is it, where is it, where is it!?". Numerous members of the ship's crew stood behind Haseo, ducking and sidestepping various objects as he threw them. "Gah! Why can't I find my photo!?".
"Captain, why is this photo so important to him? I've never seen Mr. Haseo this upset before. I mean, I know he's upset about his friend, but this added on is making it worse" one of the crewmen asked.
"The reason for that is Mr. Haseo is deeply devoted to his friends. The photo he lost is of him and his friends from the University. It's a treasure of his" the captain explained.
"Well why doesn't he just replace it? He can get another one after all" the crewman said.
"Get another one? I can't get another one. It's impossible" Haseo said spinning around.
"Why not? Can't you make a copy of another one that exists or get your friends to take another picture?"
"Again, that's impossible. That picture was given to me by a friend who is now gone. So it was special because it was from him, and we can't just retake it. Haa. Nothing seems to be going well for me. Why can't something good happen for once?" Haseo sighed.
Answering Haseo's plea, a beep rung through the ship followed by someone speaking over the intercom. "Testing, testing. Is this thing on? The little light says it's on... or does that mean it's off? Whatever, I'll leave a note if you don't here this. I have some news for Haseo. I, the Duel Assassin on Wise's payroll, The Mask, have stolen your photo of you and your friends. If you want it back, you must find my hiding spot on the ship. If you don't find me by the time we dock next, your photo will be destroyed and I'll find some other way to force you to come to me. You better hurry, for your memory's sake".
"Bastard. Don't worry sir, we'll get right on finding him" the captain said.
"No, I have to do this myself. If anyone else finds him, then something tells me he'll just burn the photo. Besides, he's working for Wise and is a Duel Assassin, so something tells me he's more than equipped for taking on any unwanted enemies. I'm going to find him and make him pay" Haseo said, a fierce, yet controlled fire burning in his eyes.
Stadium
"Muriel vs. Aito! Congratulations you two for getting the first match of the tournament!" Veina announced.
"Hehe, this is great. I imagine she won't even last a few turns against you" Kaisuke snickered.
"Perhaps, but I am not about to be overconfident. Sandra, if you know anything about this girl's deck, do not tell me" Aito commanded as he adjusted his deck and Duel Disk.
"I couldn't if I wanted to. I don't know this girl at all" San answered.
"Perfect. A hidden challenge. I hope she can prove herself worthy of competing in this tournament" the apparent leader of the Duel Academy team said as he walked to his position on the stage.
"Alright Muriel, we're counting on you to do well, so try your hardest" Shawn said trying to support his teammate.
"Don't screw this, kah, up"
"..."
As Muriel ran to her spot opposite of Aito, Shawn said "You sure have a way with the ladies".
"Bah!".
Muriel's LP: 8000 Aito's LP: 8000
"Normally I say that the lady should go first, but I think it is fitting for the visitor to make the first move" Aito said drawing six cards.
"..."
"Alright then. I'll start by activating Pot of Generosity to send two cards from my hand to my deck, which I will then shuffle" Aito said adding the cards to his deck.
"That's a pretty odd move. You don't suppose he runs a milling deck, do you?" Haruka asked.
"Possibly, but we haven't seen enough just yet. We need to wait a moment" Strafe suggested.
"Next I'll set two cards and a monster face down, your move" Aito stated.
Not saying a word, Muriel drew her card and summoned a small, fairy like creature with blonde hair that rose up at the sides to create two wings, honey eyes, a yellow dress with a white skirt underneath and light yellow shoes, and a wand that ended in a sun like shape (Attack: 0 Defense: 0).
"What kind of monster is that? I've never seen something like it before" Melinda asked.
"Neither have I, it's odd" Jewels questioned.
"That be Fortune Tellin' Witch Hikari. One of the six members of tha Fortune Tellin' Witches" Dean answered, surprising the other two into giving him a shocked look. "Wh-what? They're cute as Grammy's baby pictures" Dean said blushing and pushing his pointer fingers together.
Muriel then presented Double Summon and another small, fairy creature appeared. This one was similar to Hikari, but had a pink dress and shoes, her wand ended in a fire ornament, and had red hair that was shorter than Hikari's besides the wing like extensions (Attack: 0 Defense: 0).
"Ah, she's got Fortune Tellin' Witch En. She's a fireball" Dean chuckled.
"That's great, but she has nothing to do. Two monsters with zero attack points does nothing... unless they have great effects!" Melinda shouted.
"Nope. All the Fortune Witches are normal monsters"
"Then what use are they!?"
"Well, as their names suggest, they're used to tell fortunes. Lets see. En's is that for the day to be uncertain, your lucky number is 2, lucky color is red, lucky item is a hair ribbon, and to remember that united things are stronger. Hikari's is the day will be super happy, a lucky number of 1, lucky color is yellow, lucky item is a shining charm, and that all your wishes will come true" Dean explained. Numerous people around Dean were staring at the boy, both confused and weirded out.
"Dean, you're knowledge of these monsters is getting scarier by the second" Jewels stated making the military man hang his head in shame.
Muriel continued by activating a card that created a large gemstone in the middle of the field, making both her monsters grow the man sized proportions (Attack: 0 + 2000 Defense: 0) (Attack: 0 + 2000 Defense: 0).
"Okay, tell us what she just did" Jewels demanded.
"She activated Good Fortune - Miracle Stone. This increases the attack of all her Fortune Tellin' Witches attack by 1000 times tha number of Fortune Tellin' Witches on her side of the field" Dean explained. Muriel pointed to Aito and stepped back.
"Did she just end her turn? Why would she do that? Wouldn't the strength of her attack be higher than the possibility of those traps hurting her?" the child like teen girl that is Melind asked.
"She can't. On tha turn that Good Fortune - Miracle Stone is activated, Fortune Tellin' Witches ain't allowed to attack" Dean answered.
"Very well then. And now I'll offer my face down monster to summon Infernity Destroyer" Aito stated as one of the face down cards disappeared, now replaced by a large, demonic, humanoid creature that black skin, curved bat like ears with black hoop earrings on them, two short red horns, on its forehead, an oddly curved white vest that floated over its body with two red eye like extensions on it, a bony red extension on the back of its wrists, a white armor like sleeve that floated above its forearm, and a red spike on each knee (Attack: 2300 Defense: 1000).
"Infernity? I've never heard of that before" San said in awe of the odd new monster before her.
"Hehe, I wouldn't expect you to. They're not out yet. Aito pulled a few strings with his family's money and snagged the prototypes from Industrial Illusions. They were supposed to be let out in a pack called Infernity Pain, but they decided it wasn't right for the time and is in the vault for now. So until they decide to bring it back out, Aito holds the only set" Kaisuke snickered.
"Before we continue, I'll activate my face down Demonic Devastation. Now all battle damage you take besides direct damage is doubled" Aito stated as his face down flipped up to show some flying demons. "Now, which of your monsters to attack? Both are offensive to mine. One is light, which is a clear contrast to his darkness. On the other hand, the other is fire, an attempt to say it's superior to my monster's flaming upbringing... you choose" Aito commanded. Muriel looked at both of her monsters, trying to decide. While both were afraid, En still held her fiery nature and flew forward. Destroyer simply backhanded it like it was a fly.

Hikari cried over her teammates defeat as she shrank (Attack: 2000 - 1000 Defense: 0), while Aito chuckled lightly. "I do apologize for that, but things are only getting worse. Since I hold no cards in my hand, my Destroyer gets an effect. Whenever he destroys a monster in battle, he inflicts 1600 damage to your Life Points".
Infernity Destroyer opened its mouth and a stream of fire burst out of it, accompanied by a loud, shrieking sound. Everyone covered their ears in pain as Muriel was enveloped in the blazing attack.
Muriel's LP: 5800 Aito's LP: 8000
"You may go" Aito said as though he was doing Muriel a favor.
"This doesn't look good for Muriel. She can only pump one monster out so unless she sets something to defend her Life Points, she's in trouble" Haruka said.
"Why do you care? She's a stupid American whore" the french student said.
"I doubt she's a whore for one. Look how reserved she is. Besides, considering the style of her cards, I'd say she's focused on getting more monsters out" Strafe said.
Muriel presented Pot of Greed to everyone before drawing two cards. She then summoned another Fortune Telling Witch, this one with long blue hair, a blue dress, and her wand ended in a blue flower (Attack: 0 + 2000 Defense: 0), her presence cheering up a newly grown Hikari (Attack: 1000 + 1000 Defense: 0).
"Ah, Sui. Your day will probably bad, a lucky number of 4, lucky color blue, lucky item an umbrella, and your fortune is turning for the worse" Dean stated.
"I don't remember asking you about her, we got the theme already" Melinda growled.
"If you don't know the fortunes then what's the point in having these cards!?" Dean shouted. "Oof!". Dean's response had not been taken well by Melinda who elbowed him in the stomach.
Muriel continued by presenting a card that showed two more Fortune Telling Witches on it, one above the other, and then summoned another of the Spellcasters. This one had green hair that was almost as short as En's, a light green dress, beady eyes, and her wand ended in some leaf like ornaments (Attack: 0 + 3000 Defense: 0). The other two witches flew around her in joy (Attack: 2000 + 1000 Defense: 0) (Attack: 2000 + 1000 Defense: 0).
"What did she do there?" Jewels asked.
"She activated Advance Fortune Loan, which special summons a Fortune Tellin' Witch that has one less level than a witch you have on tha field. She selected Sui and summoned Fu... The day will be so-so, your lucky number will be 3, color is green, item is a plant, and you may find something that is lost"
"Enough with the fortunes! Of course one of them will come true if you keep playing them all!" Melinda roared.
"Well duh. Ya're only supposed to draw one outside a Duel"
Jewels shushed the bickering duo and said "Pay attention. Right now she has enough attack points behind her to nearly end this Duel". Muriel pointed to Fu and then to Infernity Destroyer. Fu nodded and waved her wand and Destroyer, sending a small tornado towards it.
"A commendable move, but ultimately futile. I activate Infernity Force. It can only be activated when my hand is empty and one of my Infernity monsters is selected as an attack target. The attacking monster is destroyed and I can special summon a Level 4 or lower Infernity monster from my graveyard. So I'll select the Infernity Guardian I offered earlier in defense" Aito stated.
As the tornado neared Infernity Destroyer, a large wave of flames appeared behind it, engulfing the monster and the attack. The waves rushed forward and devoured Fu in seconds, shocking Sui (Attack: 3000 - 1000 Defense: 0) and Hikari (Attack: 3000 - 1000 Defense: 0). When all the flames subsided, levitating before Infernity Destroyer was a large black shield that vaguely resembled an upside down star that had an enormous amount of flames in the middle of it with a demonic skull in that (Attack: 1200 Defense: 1700).
Muriel looked to be preparing for another attack pointing at Sui, but Aito cut in. "It's useless to attack my Infernity Guardian. When I have no hand, he gains the effect of being indestructible. No attack or effect can destroy him" Aito explained. Muriel just hung her head and let her arms hang limply at her sides.
"I'll assume that means your turn is over. Oh who am I kidding, of course it is. You're out of cards and moves at the time being. I can't hold back anymore" Aito said drawing his next card. "I drew Pot of Greed, so I'll draw two cards" Aito said gaining two more cards. "Perfect, this will end things nicely. I'll set a card and summon Infernity Beast" Aito stated as a black dog like monster with red eyes, a beak like mouth, and two green sacs on either side of its mouth like a frog appeared in a burst of flames (Attack: 1600 Defense: 1200).
"This Duel is, kah, over" Griever said.
"How are you so sure? These are completely new cards, so you have no idea what could happen next" Shawn asked.
"Isn't it, kah, obvious? This guy just, kah, stated how he'll end things now. He has no reason, kah, to lie with Muriel's field open strategy on the field" Griever explained.
"Now, I'll switch Infernity Guardian to attack and have Infernity Destroyer eliminate your water witch. And don't forget the extra 1600 damage" Aito stated as the piercing screeched followed stream of flames overpowered the witch.
Muriel's LP: 3900 Aito's LP: 8000
Muriel coughed out ash as Hikari shivered in fear (Attack: 2000 - 1000 Defense: 0). "Now, Infernity Beast will destroy your last witch". The creature's sacs expanded to rival basketballs, and then deflated as the hell hound expelled a medicine ball sized fireball at the light witch, incinerating it.
Muriel's LP: 2700 Aito's LP: 8000
"Now, Infernity Guardian, deal another blow". The shield cackled as flame danced out of its mouth, hammering the bashful girl.
Muriel's LP: 1500 Aito's LP: 8000
"That is all" Aito said. Just as Muriel was drawing her next, and likely last, card, Aito pressed a button on his Duel Disk making a metal ring with flames spurting out of it. "I activate my Ring of Destruction. By offering my Infernity Beast, we'll both take damage equal to its attack points" Aito explained as the ring attached itself to Infernity Beast. The flames moved and hit the dog, causing it to explod.

"There we go guys, the winner of the first Duel is Aito!" Veina announced. The students clapped weakly only to keep up good sportsmanship. Muriel however shuffled her cards back into her deck and ran off.
"Poor girl. The only damage her opponent received was by his own effect" Mansen said shaking his head.
"Got to give her a hand though. This Aito's strategy has never been seen and while she never landed a hit, she was close to dealing big damage" Pluto said.
"Yeah, well will one of you do something and get her back? I need to stay and announce the next match and having one of our representatives run off" Veina said in a scolding tone.
Pluto put his hands up in defeat and said "Alright, alright. I volunteer... Mansen".
"I second that motion... wait, what? Shit!" Mansen cursed.
"That worked better than I had planned" Pluto chuckled walking off.
"Damn, I don't want to go just yet in case Griever goes up. I need to get some students to do it for me... you three!" Mansen shouted pointing to Jewels, Melinda, and Dean. "Go find Muriel, I'll give you all ten points extra credit on your next ten tests if you do".
Author's Note: And there's the first match. I can't really say much except for the fact that I'm raring for things to get moving, and I bet you guys are too. So I hope you enjoyed this chapter and will review.
