Chapter Forty Four:
Trent vs Gwen
Joey was running ahead from everybody as fast as he could, as he made his way to the airship, with a hellicopter right next to it, fueling it with enough fuel to make it back to Domino City. He was both relieved that Duncan and Bakura are going to be fine, but scared at the fact that he and the others have to deal with Heather and Courtney again, and for the rest of the competition. The Brooklyn-Accent Teen hurried on into the airship as soon as possible. He ran down the halls as quickly as he can, and stops right by the bedroom of a certain delinquent.
The door suddenly slides in open, and Joey burst right into it. He stops right by the bed, and leans down with his hands on his knees, gasping for air.
"Geez, I think those gym glasses were worth it," he muttered.
"Worth it?"
The Brooklyn-Accent Teen lifted his head up, and suddenly saw Duncan fully awoken, still looking a bit weak. Joey quickly stood up with a friendly smile on his face.
"Duncan, your alive!"
"Of course I am," the Delinquent said. "Am I back in my room?"
"Yeah," Joey nodded. "Everyone and the doctors took you here after your duel with Marik. You've only had twelve hours to live unless we beat that creep. But luckily, Yug' beat him and now you, and the others, are now free."
"That's a relief, but why am I still..."
The Delinquent tried sitting up, but instantly laid back down after feeling a pain on his back.
"You were injured after that Duel, remember?" Joey reminded. "You turned all evil and stuff like that. Did you remember any of it?"
Duncan slowly lifts up his arm, feeling pain from there, but didn't care, and places it on his head, saying, "I'm not sure. One second, I was dueling Marik, but I only remember bits and pieces of it. But the only thing that took out on me the most was Marik telling me of how Courtney's been...using me this whole time."
Before Joey could say a word, the door opened up right behind him.
"Hey guys, look who we found in the kitchen!" Tristan's voice rang out.
Joey turned around and found the gang, minus Trent, Gwen, and Yami, walking in, and in the middle, there was Ryou Bakura, muching down on shish-ka-bobs and other food in his arms.
"Hey guys."
Joey's friendly smile returned on his face and said, "Hey Bakura, glad that your back!"
The Cute Guy took another bite out of the shish-ka-bob before saying, "You bet I am. I've been gone for so long, there's nothing to eat at the Shadow Realm."
"Did ya remember anything?" the Brooklyn-Accent Teen asked.
"No, one second I was up in the Dueling Arena with Yugi in deep pain, but then the next thing I knew, I woke up in my bed," Bakura explained, before taking another bite.
The door slides open once more, as everyone turned around. Serenity suddenly busted in with tears on her face, running past everyone until she wraps her arms around her big brother. Joey wraps his arms around his sister as she was sobbing.
"Serenity, what's wrong?" he asked with a concerned look on his face.
The Sweet Girl looked up at him and said, "Sh-she woke up, and got into a fit. She was going to take things out on me, but I took off!"
She dug her face into Joey's chest and continued to cry. LeShawna walked up to the siblings and places a hand on her back, with a determined look on her face.
"Who?"
The door slides open once more, and harsh breathing was heard. Everyone has their eyes widen, and they all turned around once more. There stood in the doorway was none other than the CIT herself, without her vest, bracelets, and high heels. She glares at everyone, her sharp teeth showing off.
"I can't believe I LOST!" she yelled. "AGAIN!"
Everyone lifted their arms in front of them, protecting themselves should Courtney attack either one of them.
"Where is he?" she yelled. "Where's Marik? I want to give him a piece of my mind for trying to kill me!"
"Courtney, calm down!" Justin yelled.
"NO!" Courtney yelled, leaning over to the Hot-Man Candy and poking a finger at his chest. "YOU calm down! It was because of that murderous freak that I lost the tournament! I would've won and get my revenge on Gwen sooner if it weren't for him!"
Serenity couldn't take much more of this. She shuts her eyes tightly, and then pulls herself away from her brother. She then turned around and glared angrily at the CIT, tears still running down her face.
"BE QUIET, COURTNEY!" the Sweet Girl yelled. "Why are you even acting this way? You've been ever since that special Joey told me about! And to think that I even listen to my friends back home. They told me that you were an awesome and most caring person in the show, even in season two. And when I was blind and they commentated on episodes to tell me what's up, I knew something was wrong. And I was right! They were wrong about you, Courtney! Your nothing but a...but a...a spoiled, heartless, vicious, self-centered, abusive, boyfriend using, manipulative hypocrite!"
Courtney instantly shot a glare at Serenity and asked in a dark tone in her voice, "What did you just call me?"
Joey quickly places his hands on his sister's shoulders from behind and said, "Uh, Serenity? You don't want to mess with Courtney. You wouldn't like her when she's angry."
The CIT gave out a loud scream and ran over to Serenity, but not until being grabbed by Tristan, Duke, Justin, and Geoff.
"Let me go!" she yelled. "Did you even heard what she called me?"
"Yes, we know every single word she said," said the Brunette.
The door slides open once more, as a female voice asked, "And what the heck is going on in here? What's with the screaming?"
Everyone gasped, and there stood by the doorway is none other than Heather herself! She was glaring at all of them, the only things missing are her cloak, high heels...and her blue wig.
"And has anyone seen my wig?" the Queen Bee asked, placing her hands on her bald head. "I know one of you losers took it while I was in the Shadow Realm."
Joey, Duncan, Justin, Tristan, and Geoff then rolled their eyes toward the ceiling, whispering as if nothing happened.
Confessional
"Did I just overcame my shyness and stood up to Courtney?" Serenity asked, before putting on a smile. "I can't believe that I did that. Maybe sticking around with my big brother so much, maybe I've learned to stand up for myself from him. I probably need to thank him later."
She then looked around the confessional before asking, "Um, where did this confessional came from?"
End of Confessional
Meanwhile in the Goth girl's bedroom, both her and Yami were sitting right by the table, Gwen trying to organize her deck and thinking of a strategy to beat her ex-boyfriend.
"It's a good thing we got away from the others in time," said the Pharaoh. "Otherwise, you would've feel Courtney and Heather's wraths right about now."
"You said it, Yami," Gwen said, focusing on her cards one by one. "I don't think I would last five seconds with them after they got back."
The flatscreen television turned on, both of them turning their heads to see Chris, in all his sadistic glory, on the screen.
"Attention Duelists!" he announced. "Please report to the Tower for the second match of the Semi Finals of Trent versus Gwen! McLean out!"
The television screen turned off, as the Goth girl places her deck in her Duel Disk. Both she and Yami stood up, and were both starting to leave.
In an awkward situation such as this, both Trent and Gwen have to share the same elevator into going up to the Duel Arena on top of the tower. With Chris facing their backs on them, both got into a conversation to pass the time.
"So...I can't believe we're facing against each other," the Musician said with an awkward laugh. "...Again."
"Except that you weren't being obsessed of trying to kill me," Gwen pointed out, pointing her finger.
"Hey, that was Marik's doing before he turned good a half hour back," said Trent, lifting his arms up. "And something just occurred to me...if one of us were to win, then we get to face Yugi in the final round. And if one of us beats him, then not only do we win the tournament, but become the champion of the Card Game. Since Yugi is, after all, the king. Get what I'm saying?"
The Goth girl roles her eyes and said, "I didn't not see that coming. Honestly."
"So any good chance where you might beat me?"
Gwen looked back at her ex-boyfriend with a friendly smile and said, "Don't even think about it, mister. There's no way I'm telling you my strategies. But just to be on the safe side, Trent...please don't overthrow this Duel for me. I don't want the same thing to happen like last season. Okay?"
Trent looks at her awkwardly and said, "Uh, sure. No problem."
They then both shook each others' hands to seal the deal.
Both finally made it to the Dueling Arena as it was rising up. The gang, plus Courtney and Heather, and minus Justin and Duncan, were on one side of the sidelines where right across from them was Kaiba, Mokuba, Marik, Odion, and Ishizu. Both Trent and Gwen already shuffled each other's decks, and just activating their Duel Disks, signaling that their ready to go.
"This final match of the Semi-Finals will determine the winner advancing to the Final Round," Chris announced. "Does Trent and Gwen have what it takes? Then let the Duel begin!"
Trent: 4000/Gwen: 4000
"I'll go first!" Trent said, drawing a card from his deck (6). "I summon one monster in face down defense mode and place one card face down." (4)
As he says this, he places the card onto the Monster Zone and slips a card into the Spell/Trap zone.
"That ends my turn, I guess."
Gwen gave out a friendly smile and drew a card from her deck (6) and said, "I summon the Rapid-Fire Magician in attack mode." (5)
She places the card onto the Monster Zone, a monster wearing Dark Magician-like clothing carrying two staffs with different color spheres show up in front of her (ATK: 1600/DEF: 1200).
"Now attack Trent's face down monster!"
Rapid Fire Magician fires out an energy blast from one of his spheres. The monster flips open, revealing to be Lady Warrior of the Wasteland (DEF: 1200), as the blast was made a direct hit. And since it was in defense mode, Trent's life points were saved.
"You activated Lady Warrior of the Wasteland's Special Ability," the Musician explained. "When she gets destroyed, I get to special summon an EARTH-Attribute Warrior with fifteen hundred attack points or less from my Deck."
He took out his deck, took out the card he needed, and slips his deck back into his Duel slot.
"And the monster I choose is..." Trent said, slamming the card onto the Monster Zone. "Obnoxious Celtic Guardian!"
An elf warrior wearing an armor and carrying a sword and shield appears (ATK: 1400/DEF: 1200).
"Okay then, I'll just place one card face down and end my turn," the Goth girl said, slipping a card into the Spell/Trap zone (4).
Trent drew a card from his deck (5) before saying, "I summon Command Knight in attack mode." (4)
A warrior wearing a large red and yellow armor with a dark purple cape behind him appears (ATK: 1200/DEF: 1900).
"And you know his special ability, right?" the Musician asked. "Now he won't be an attack target as long as there's at least one other Warrior monster on my side of the field, and they each gain four hundred extra attack points!" (Command Knight's ATK: 1200 - 1600; Obnoxious Celtic Guardian's ATK: 1400 - 1800).
"Uh-oh," Gwen muttered.
"Obnoxious Celtic Guardian, attack her Rapid-Fire Magician!"
Obnoxious Celtic Guardian ran over and slashes his sword against Rapid-Fire Magician before it disappeared (Gwen's LP: 4000 - 3800).
"Command Knight, your turn! Attack her life points directly!"
Command Knight ran over, but before it can attack, the face down card Gwen placed face down earlier flips open in front of her, the image showing two cylinders with beams coming out of them. Command Knight slashes it's sword in, but the other cylinder appears before Trent and he gets slashed instead (Trent's LP: 4000 - 2400).
"Magic Cylinder," the Goth girl explained. "This Trap card can aim the attack right at ya, but after your life points."
"Alrighty then," Trent said, crossing his arms. "I'll end my turn."
Gwen drew a card from her deck (5) and thought, There has to be a way to take down both of Trent's warrior monsters. As long as Command Knight is in play, it can't be destroyed as long as there's another Warrior-type monster out. And with Celtic Guardian, it can't be destroyed by monsters with nineteen hundred attack points or more. Now that's quite a combination Trent is playing at...
"First, I'll place one card face down and summon one monster in face down defense mode," Gwen said, slipping a card into the Spell/Trap zone, and another on the Monster zone (3). "That's all for now."
"Okay then," Trent shrugged, drawing a card from his deck (5). "Obnoxious Celtic Guardian, attack her face down monster!"
Obnoxious Celtic Guardian ran over, but before it can attack, a huge, library-like place with what seemed to be teleportation balconies starts to surround Gwen and her side of the field, rendering the attack useless (Trent's LP: 2400 - 2200).
"What the heck?" the Musician yelled.
"Royal Magical Library," Gwen explained.
"Oh come on!" Trent yelled once more. "Fine, I'll just go ahead and play Card Destruction!" (4)
He slips a card into the Spell/Trap zone, the image showing a demonic hand blowing away cards.
"Now we must discard our entire hand and draw the same number of cards we had," the Musician explained.
Both former lovers slipped their cards into the Graveyard (0; 0) and drew the same number (4; 3). Gwen's eyes widen when she saw this.
I think I got what I need to end this Duel. But I still need to wait on this.
"And I'll end my turn by activating my face down card, A Rival Appears!"
The card flips open in front of him, the image showing both Ebon Magician Curran and White Magician Pikeru struggling against each other.
"This lets me summon a monster equal to the same level as your monster," Trent explained. "And I summon Queen's Knight!"
The same beautiful blonde haired warrior wearing an armor with hearts appear (ATK: 1500/DEF: 1600; ATK: 1500 - 1900).
"And it's your move."
Gwen drew a card from her deck (4) and said, "First, I'll play Premature Burial to raise a monster back from the Graveyard at the cost of eight hundred life points, and I choose Chaos Command Magician!" (3) (Gwen's LP: 3800 - 3000).
A green robed Magician appears, getting ready to battle (ATK: 2400/DEF: 1900)
"But you never played that card," Trent pointed out.
"It was in my hand when you played Card Destruction, remember?" the Goth girl asked.
"Well too bad, 'cause my monsters can't be attacked."
"Who says I'm going to attack Command Knight and Obnoxious Celtic Guardian?" Gwen asked once more. "Chaos Command Magician, attack Queen's Knight!"
Chaos Command Magician unleashed a powerful blast at Queen's Knight before she disappeared (Trent's LP: 2200 - 1700).
"Had enough, Trent?"
"No, it's my move!" Trent exclaimed, drawing a card from his deck (5)...and smirked. "First, I activate Monster Reborn to bring back Queen's Knight!" (4)
The same monster that got destroyed last turn came back (ATK: 1500; ATK: 1500 - 1900).
"Next, I sacrifice all three of my warriors to summon the monster Joey gave me last round!" (3)
All three Warrior monsters suddenly started to glow white, and disappeared, as a new warrior appears to take their places. He appears to be wearing silver armor with a red messy cape and carrying a sword, small electric sparks centering around him.
"Gwen, meet GILFORD THE LIGHTNING!" (ATK: 2800/DEF: 1400)
"Hey, that's my monster!" Joey pointed out while cheering. "Way to go, Trent!"
"And it has a special ability," Trent continued. "If it's been tribute summoned by three monsters, it destroys all monsters on your side of the field. So say goodbye to Chaos Command Magician and Royal Magical Library!"
Gilford the Lightning lifted his sword up and strikes out a thunder-like attack at both Chaos Command Magician and Royal Magical Library as they disappeared.
"And with no monsters, Gilford, attack her life points directly!"
Gilford ran over, but before it can swing his sword, Gwen yelled, "Activate Trap Card! Gravity Bind!"
The card flips open in front of her, the image showing some kind of bulge in a digital grid field. The waves from the card appears, as Gilford stops attacking.
"This card prevents all monsters on the field with level four or higher to not attack," the Goth girl explained.
"Alright, Gwen," Trent shrugged. "Remember, you got a couple of moves left before I wipe you out."
Back in the sidelines, both the Queen Bee and the CIT were cheering and jumping.
"Whoo, way to go Trent!" Heather yelled in excitement.
"Teach that boyfriend stealer who's boss!" Courtney followed.
Joey instantly glared at both villainesses and asked, "Hey, who said you two can cheer? I thought you two hate everybody."
"But when the person you hate the most is at stake here, cheer for the other competitor against them," Courtney said with a wink.
Back in the Dueling Field, Gwen drew a card from her deck (4) and said with a friendly smile, "Not for long. Because now I activate the Spell Card Magic Planter!" (3)
She slips the card into the Spell/Trap zone, the image showing Ivy Shackles being melted into some iron pot full of blue liquid metal. "By destroying my Continuous Trap card, I can draw two cards from my deck."
Gravity Bind got destroyed, as the Goth girl drew two cards from her deck (5).
"Next, I activate Double Spell," the Goth girl explained, slipping the card into the Spell/Trap zone, the image showing two magicians sharing their energy (4). "By discarding one Spell card from my hand, I can select a Spell card from your Graveyard and activate it."
Gwen took a random Spell card from her hand and slips it into the Graveyard slot (3). Something then slips out of Trent's Graveyard slot as it appears in front of his ex-girlfriend, the image showing an Egyptian Ankh.
"Monster Reborn," she said. "Now I can bring back a monster that was in my hand earlier thanks to your Card Destruction. Dark Magician!"
The blue-robed magician with green skin with shoulder-length blonde hair sticking out appears (ATK: 2500/DEF: 2100).
"So?" Trent asked. "It's still weak."
"Not quite," Gwen said. "For now I sacrifice it in order to summon Dark Eradicator Warlock!" (2)
The robes on the magician suddenly became dark red-colored, and the staff he was holding became larger (ATK: 2500/DEF: 2100).
"Oh no," Trent said. "Don't tell me your using the same method you used to beat LeShawna and Heather."
"I just am," Gwen said with a smirk similar to Kaiba's. "I activate Riryoku!" (1)
She slips a card into the Spell/Trap zone, the image showing a man getting absorbed by an energy ball.
"Now my monster's attack points is halved, and it goes to your Warlock," the Musician explained.
"Thanks for the explaination, Trent," said the Goth girl.
A red aura surrounds Gilford the Lightning as it screams in agony (ATK: 2800 - 1400) while it tranfers to Dark Eradicator Warlock (ATK: 2500 - 3900). Dark Eradicator Warlock lifted his scepter up and unleashed a powerful beam right at Trent's chest (Trent's LP: 1700 - 700).
"And if a Spell card activates, I lose one thousand life points," Trent continued explaining.
"Exactly," Gwen said with a nod. "Now my Dark Eradicator Warlock, attack Gilford and the rest of Trent's life points!"
Dark Eradicator Warlock lifted his scepter and unleashes a powerful blast right at Gilford, as it made a direct hit. It screamed in agony before disappearing into pixels (Trent's LP: 700 - 0).
"Ah crap!" he said.
"And the winner of this Duel is...Gwen!" Chris declared. "She gets to advance to the Final Round!"
Some of the people on the sidelines started to cheer at this, while Heather groaned in frustration and Courtney screaming her lungs out. The Dark Eradicator Warlock disappeared, as the Duel Arena went down. Both Trent and Gwen walked to each other and smiled.
"That was an awesome Duel, Gwen," Trent said. "Probably the best I had from this tournament."
"Gee, thanks," the Goth girl said. "Hope you aren't...too mad about this, right?"
"Hey, at least I got further than I did the last two seasons," the Musician said, getting a card from his deck and handing it over. "Battle City Rules. Here's my card."
Gwen took it and saw it was his rarest card, the Arcana Knight Joker. She looked back at him and smiled, saying, "I'll take care of it for you, alright?"
"Okay," Trent said as he gave out a laugh. "So good luck in the finals, alright?"
Before the Goth girl could say anything, Chris interuppted, saying, "Attention Duelists! This tournament is coming to an end! I would like to announce the two Duelists making it this far into the Finals. Yugi Muto and Gwen. They get to face off against each other, and not only will one of them wins the tournament, but with the Card Game Championship title, along with the million dollars. We'll take a fifteen minute intermission before the Finals can commence. Take this time now to get ready."
Yami walked over to Gwen, took out his hand, and said, "May the best Duelist win."
Gwen took hold of his hand and shook it, saying, "Sure."
"Who will win the Battle City Tournament?" Chris asked. "Does Gwen have what it takes to take down the Champion? And will this be the last Duel of the special? Find out in the thrilling conclusion of Total...Drama...Whatever this special's called!" [1]

(note: video taken after match is over)
"So I just went ahead and lost the game," Trent said, his back leaning on the chair. "It's not so bad, unlike last two seasons. But hey, since Gwen and I aren't together anymore, it makes me focus on the game more clearly. Plus some of her inspirations is what help me win a Duel or two. So whichever way, I'm just glad for what I went through in this game."
[1] - Yes, you heard me correctly. Yugi and Gwen's Duel is going to be the last Duel featured in this story. I just need to relax and mellow out from it before I upload the Virtural World Arc.
