Disclaimer: I own nothing! If I did then (SPOILERS!) Penny would have survived volume 8.
Jekyll, Aqua, Penny and Ruby went off to Jekyll's dorm where Jekyll and Penny explained everything that happened in the last few days, from Penny crashing into Jekyll to Jekyll's duel with Felix. Jekyll and Penny also learned that apparently Penny and Ruby can float in mid-air now.
"Ok." Aqua said.
"What?" Was the simultaneous reaction of the other three in the room.
"It makes sense, I mean, that woman and this Felix guy managed to get here undetected and the woman somehow teleported, and there 2 chibis in the room with us." Aqua said like it was the simplest thing in the world.
Everyone looked at her.
"I'm not sure what else I was expecting." Jekyll deadpanned, well aware of Aqua's bizarreness.
"So you said you use Machine-type monsters?" Ruby asked Jekyll somewhat excitedly since she wanted to see what other awesome monsters he has if they were like the Cyber Dragon.
"Yeah." Jekyll replied and Ruby was immediately in his face.
"Can I please see them?" She asked excitedly.
"1) Personal space." Jekyll said as he moved Ruby away form him. "2) Sure, here are my favorites." Jekyll said as he took out a few cards.
"The Reactors, Cyber End Dragon, and Jinzo." Jekyll said as he placed the 5 cards in front of Ruby.
Ruby looked at the first four machines with stars in her eyes as she imagined them taking out hordes of Grimm and helping people. The fifth one however, unnerved her for some reason.
It was a bald man with pinkish skin, his face features thick veins and signs of deformity with the greatest part covered by a mask. His outfit consists of a long coat equipped with shoulder pads and spiked collar, bracelets and belt. He seemed more like a cyborg than a machine.
"What's that card?" Ruby asked.
"Oh That's Jinzo." Jekyll said as he picked up the card. "One of my first monsters from when I started dueling." He said as he remembered some fond memories.
"So what kind of cards do you use?" Penny asked Aqua.
Aqua smirked. "I use a deck full of WATER monsters." She said with pride.
"The girl named Aqua uses WATER monsters, what a surprise." Jekyll joked sarcastically while Aqua narrowed her eyes at him.
"I still beat you with it." She shot back.
"I've gotten better since the last time we dueled." He retorted.
"Oh yeah, I never congratulated you for making it to Ra Yellow." She said. "How do you like the dorm?"
"It's a lot better than the Slifer dorm but honestly, I don't think the yellow suits me." He said.
Aqua put her arm around him and ruffled his hair. "Eh, you'll get used to it." She said.
"Stop that." He said annoyed as he mover her arm off him.
"Since you finally made it to Ra Yellow, why don't we have a friendly duel to see how much better you've gotten?" Aqua challenged.
"Are you sure? Jekyll just finished a duel with that lady." Penny said, remembering how Jekyll looked like he was in pain after a monster's attack.
"It's okay, I feel fine now." Jekyll said as he got his duel disk and he and Aqua went out side to duel.
They made it to the front of the dorm and got ready to duel.
Duel begin
Turn 1
Jekyll LP: 4000 VS Aqua LP: 4000
Jekyll hand: 5 VS Aqua hand: 5
"I'll go first." Jekyll declared.
"I summon Psycho Bounder." He said as an orange machine with mirrors all over it's body as well as pieces of advanced technology wearing a red cape appeared.
Psycho Bounder
(LV 4 / LIGHT / [Machine/Effect] / 1700 ATK / 1000 DEF)
"When did you get that card?" Aqua asked surprised.
"I've gotten a few new tricks, and cards, since our last duel." He said before grabbing a card form his deck.
"Now, in case you didn't know, when Psycho Bounder is played onto the field I can add Jinzo from my deck to my hand, or a spell or trap card that has him in it's text." Jekyll informed.
"I'll set these 2 cards and end my turn." He said as 2 cards appeared on the field.
Turn 2
Jekyll LP: 4000 VS Aqua LP: 4000
Jekyll hand: 3 VS Aqua hand: 5+1
"I draw!" Aqua said as she drew.
She looked at her hand and smirked. "I activate A Legendary Ocean!" She said as the field suddenly became an underwater temple with fish swimming by and all.
A Legendary Ocean
(Field Spell)
"Wow..." Ruby muttered as she saw how beautiful it looked.
"Amazing." Penny said
"I'm glad other people can find how beautiful the ocean can be, but I wouldn't gawk for too long cause it has more than it's fair share of terrors." Aqua told the two chibis watching.
"Now I know you remember well what this card does Jekyll. But for our new friends I'll explain, this field card not only gives all WATER monsters and extra 200 ATK and DEF, but it also reduces the Level of all WATER monsters on the field and in both of out hands by 1." She explained as Jekyll scowled know where this was going.
"Meaning I can bring out my Level 5 Orca Mega-Fortress of Darkness!" she exclaimed as a giant orca with what looks like a deck of a battleship on it's back appeared.
Orca Mega-Fortress of Darkness
(LV: 5 / WATER / [Sea-Serpent/Effect] / 2100 ATK / 1200 DEF)
Orca Mega-Fortress of Darkness: 2100 ATK + 200 ATK = 2300 ATK
1200 DEF + 200 DEF = 1400 DEF
"Wow!" Ruby exclaimed at seeing the giant weaponized orca.
"Now Orca, take out Psycho Bounder!" Aqua yelled, Ruby and Penny weren't prepared for what's next.
The Orca opened it's mouth for a GIANT CANNON to come out, start charging a shot, and obliterate Jekyll's machine.
Jekyll LP: 4000 - 600 = 3400 LP
"So cool." Ruby muttered with her mouth dropped.
"I'll play 1 card face down and end my turn." Aqua said.
Turn 3
Jekyll LP: 3400 VS Aqua LP: 4000
Jekyll hand: 3+1 VS Aqua hand: 3
Jekyll drew his card and looked at his hand. "I'll star of by activating my face down, Call of the Haunted!" He said as his face down flipped up to show an image of a tombstone with purple smoke coming from it.
"So say hello to Psycho Bounder again." he said as Psycho Bounder appeared one more. "And his effect kicks in again." he said as he grabbed a card.
"But he won't be staying cause I tribute him to summon Jinzo!" Jekyll said as Psycho Bounder disappeared and Jinzo Popped up. He was much taller than Jekyll or Aqua and must have been around 8 feet tall.
Jinzo
(LV 6 / DARK / [Machine/Effect] / 2400 ATK / 1500 DEF)
Ruby and Penny shivered, Jinzo is much creepier in person than on a card.
"I activate Cyber Energy Shock!" Jekyll declared. "With this I'll target your face down and destroy it!"
Jinzo charge a dark orb of energy and fired a blast at Aquas face-down, which as revealed to be a spell card.
"What?!" Jekyll exclaimed.
"I knew you were gonna do that." Aqua said with a smirk. "When you were getting ready to bring out jinzo I figured you'd try to use that card so just in case I set a spell as a bluff, and since it wasn't a trap, you don't get any benefits form destroying it."
Jekyll grit his teeth in annoyance.
"I'm lost." Ruby said.
"It seems as though Aqua had set that card in order to trick Jekyll into wasting one of his cards." Penny said.
"I attack your Orca with Jinzo!" Jekyll said as Jinzo threw another energy orb the Orca, destroying it.
Aqua LP: 4000 - 100 = 3900 LP
"I set a card and end my turn." Jekyll said.
Turn 4
Jekyll LP: 3400 VS Aqua LP: 3900
Jekyll hand: 2 VS Aqua hand: 3+1
"I draw." Aqua then looked at her hand and smiled.
"I activate Moray of Greed. By shuffling my Warrior of Atlantis and my Torpedo Fish back into the deck I can draw 3 new cards." Aqua said.
"Now, since you have two or more cards in your spell and trap zones, I can special summon Escher the Frost Vassal!" Aqua said as a man in blue and cobalt armor with a red cape surrounded by ice appeared.
Escher the Frost Vassal
(LV: 4 / WATER / [Aqua/Effect] / 800 ATK / 1000 DEF)
Jekyll's eyes widened, knowing where this was going.
"Now I'll tribute him to summon Mobius the Frost Monarch!" Aqua announced as a monster in light blue, regal looking armor with a blue cape appeared.
Mobius the Frost Monarch
(LV: 6 / WATER / [Aqua/Effect] / 2400 ATK / 1000 DEF)
Mobius the Frost Monarch: 2400 ATK + 200 ATK = 2600 ATK
1000 DEF + 200 DEF = 1200 DEF
"I'm sure you remember what this card does." Aqua said.
"Of course I remember. I was the one who gave it to you after all." Jekyll retorted.
"And I'm really thankful for that, 'cause he's been a great help." Aqua said.
Suddenly Mobius stuck his hands out and cold air started blowing form them and froze Jekyll's face-downs, destroying them.
"Whoa, Weiss would love this monster." Ruby said.
"Now Mobius, take out Jinzo!" Aqua exclaimed as mobius formed an ice javelin in his right hand and threw it at Jinzo.
Jekyll LP: 3400 - 200 = 3200 LP.
"Now I'll set 2 cards face down and end my turn." Aqua said.
"Aqua is doing quite the exceptional job against Jekyll." Penny said.
Turn 5
Jekyll LP: 3200 VS Aqua LP: 3900
Jekyll hand: 2+1 VS Aqua hand: 0
"My move." Jekyll said as he drew.
"I'll summon Jinzo - Returner." Jekyll said as a monster that looks like a smaller version of Jinzo with a large, bulky, yellow shoulder pads and a large head appeared.
Jinzo - Returner
(LV: 3 / DARK / [Machine/Effect] / 600 ATK / 1400 DEF)
"But why would he summon a monster so much weaker?" Ruby asked.
"Because Jinzo - Returner can attack directly!" Jekyll said as Returner charged up a pink ball of energy and fired it at Aqua.
"Not so fast, I activate Tornado Wall!" Aqua said as several brownish undersea cyclones formed in front of her to block Returner's attack.
"What just happened?" Ruby asked.
"Tornado Wall." Jekyll informed. "A continuous trap card that blocks all battle damage so long as Umi is on the field."
"Meaning you can attack all you like but so long as this or my Ocean is out I'm invincible from your attacks." Aqua said.
"I set a card and pass the turn to you." Jekyll said.
Turn 6
Jekyll LP: 3200 VS Aqua LP: 3900
Jekyll hand: 1 VS Aqua hand: 0+1
"I draw."
"I activate my trap, Crush Card Virus." Jekyll said and Aqua gasped.
"So by tributing my Returner I can destroy all monsters on your field and in your hand with 1500 or more ATK." Jekyll said.
"Fine but before that activates I activate my second face-down, Spiritual Water Art - Aoi. So by tributing my WATER attribute Mobius I can look at your hand and choose 1 card for you to get rid of. And well, there's only 1 option." Aqua said as they both got rid of their respective monsters and Jekyll discarded his card and Aqua got rid of the monster she drew, The Legendary Fisherman (1850 ATK / 1600 DEF).
Aqua then started laughing.
"Man, you've definitely gotten better since the last time we dueled Jekyll!" Aqua complemented.
"I aim to improve." Jekyll said.
"Anyways, I obviously end my turn." Aqua said.
Turn 7
Jekyll LP: 3200 VS Aqua LP: 3900

"I draw." Aqua said.
"I summon Amphibious Bugroth MK-3!" Aqua said as a submarine like machine with 2 torpedoes attached to it appeared.
Amphibious Bugroth MK-3
(LV: 4 / WATER / [Machine/Effect] / 1500 ATK / 1300 DEF)
Amphibious Bugroth MK-3: 1500 ATK + 200 ATK = 1700 ATK
1300 DEF + 200 DEF = 1500 DEF
"And since A Legendary Ocean is out, it can swim past your monster and take out your Life Points directly!" Aqua said as Bugroth fired 2 torpedoes towards Jekyll.
Jekyll LP: 3200 - 1700 = 1500 LP
"I'll end my turn." Aqua said.
Turn 9
Jekyll LP: 1500 VS Aqua LP: 3900
Jekyll hand: 0+1 VS Aqua hand: 0
"I flip my monster face-up." Jekyll said after drawing.
"Say hello to morphing Jar!" He said as Aqua's eyes widened.
The card flipped face up to reveal a jar before a black blob with a single large eye and yellow-ish teeth popped out.
Morphing Jar
(LV: 2 / EARTH / [Rock/Flip/Effect] / 700 ATK / 600 DEF)
"Eww, what is that?!" Ruby exclaimed feeling disgusted and creeped out by the monster.
"Morphing Jar makes both players get rid of whatever was in their hand and draw 5 new cards when he is flipped face-up." Jekyll explained as he got rid of his only hand card and then both he and Aqua drew five cards.
Jekyll hand: 5
Aqua hand: 5
Jekyll looked at his new and smirked. "Now to put these to work." He said.
"I special summon Jinzo the Machine Menace!" He said as Jinzo appeared on the field.
Jinzo the Machine Menace
(LV: 7 / DARK / [Machine/Effect] / 2400 ATK / 1500 DEF)
"I've never heard of that card." Aqua said in shock.
"Like it? It's a new card I got, When there is trap face up on the field or in either graveyard, I can special summon him from my hand. And now, I can tribut him special summon Jinzo from my Graveyard!" Jekyll explained as the original Jinzo replaced his counterpart on the field. (2400 ATK / 1500 DEF)
"And when I do that, Machine Menace's effect takes out all your traps." Jekyll added as Tornado Wall shattered.
"Now I place 2 face-downs and activate the equip spell Mage Power and equip it to Jinzo!" Jekyll said as Jinzo was surrounded by a red aura.
"For every spell and trap I control Jinzo gains 500 ATK and DEF!" He explained.
Jinzo: 2400 ATK + 500 ATK + 500 ATK + 500 ATK = 3900 ATK
1500 DEF + 500 DEF + 500 DEF + 500 DEF = 3000 DEF
"Now Jinzo blast her Bugroth!" Jekyll commanded as Jinzo fired an orb of energy as Bugroth and destroyed it.
Aqua LP: 3900 - 2200 = 1700 LP
"Now Morphing Jar shall attack." He said as Morphing Jar stretch out from it's jar and headbutt Aqua.
Aqua LP: 1700 - 700 = 1000 LP
"I end my turn." Jekyll said.
Turn 10
Jekyll LP: 1500 VS Aqua LP: 1000
Jekyll hand: 1 VS Aqua hand: 5+1
"My move." Aqua said with a grin.
"I activate Water Hazard." She said.
Water Hazard
(Continuous Spell)
"With this I'll special summon my Torpedo Fish." Aqua said as a fish resembling a torpedo appeared.
Torpedo Fish
(LV: 3 / WATER / [Fish/Effect] / 1000 ATK / 1000 DEF)
"But he won't be staying because I sacrifice him to summon my mightiest monster! Levia-Dragon - Daedalus!" Aqua said as torpedo fish dissapeared and a new monster took it's place. It was large Sea serpent with blue scales, red fins, and a pinkish underbelly.
Levia-Dragon - Daedalus
(LV: 7 / WATER / [Sea-Serpent/Effect] / 2600 ATK / 1500 DEF)
"That... is a big fish..." Ruby said as she and Penny could only stare at Aqua's new monster in awe and slight fear.
"That monster is comparable to a Sea Feilong..." Penny mumbled.
"And now I activate his effect to get rid of A Legendary Ocean to destroy all other cards on the field!" Aqua said.
Suddenly a whirlpool formed in the center of the field and engulfed everything. When it cleared however, Jinzo was still standing.
"What?!" Aqua cried.
"My face-down, Everlasting Alloy, let's me protect my machine monsters from being destroyed by your effects until the end of the turn." Jekyll said.
"Well you may have saved your Life Points but Daedalus will still attack Jinzo." Aqua said as Daedalus fired a blast of blue energy from it's mouth and destroyed Jinzo.
Jekyll LP: 1500 - 200 = 1300 LP
"I'll set one card face down and end my turn." Aqua declared.
Turn 11

"I draw." Jekyll said.
"I activate Monster Reborn to bring form my graveyard, Jinzo - Returner." He said as Returner, well, returned to the field. (600 ATK / 1400 DEF)
"Now I activate Inferno Reckless Summon! With this, since I special summoned Jinzo Returner, we both bring out monsters from our hands, decks, and graveyards with the same name as a monster on our field." Jekyll said as 2 more Returners appeared and another Daedalus appeared.
"Uh oh." Aqua said.
"Now my Returners Will attack directly!" Jekyll said as 2 of his monsters charged up pink spheres of energy and threw them at Aqua.
Aqua LP: 1000 - 600 - 600 = 0 LP
Duel Over
Winner: Jekyll Giada
Aqua sat back on the ground before beginning to laugh.
"So you finally managed to beat me. You really have improved." Aqua said as Jekyll offered her a hand back up.
"But don't think just because you've beaten me once you can get cocky." She said.
"THAT WAS AWESOME!" Ruby cheered.
"Congratulations on winning Jekyll. You did amazing too Aqua." Penny complimented.
"Thanks." They both said.
"By the way Jekyll, you said you were helping look for their friends earlier. Mind if I help?" Aqua asked.
"Well, it'd be better than just me, Penny and Ruby looking for them. What do you guys think?" He asked the two chibis.
"We appreciate the help." Penny said.
"Thanks a lot." Ruby said.
"So where should we start first?" Aqua asked.
"I don't know." Jekyll said.
"Well in a couple more days the boats are gonna leave in a couple days, maybe when they leave we can search the city." Aqua suggested. "But first we should check more of the school grounds. Where have you searched so far?" Aqua asked.
"I found Penny between the duel arena and the Yellow dorm, where we've also searched, and you found Ruby at the docks. Me and Penny were thinking of looking for the rest at the Slifer Red dorm." Jekyll said.
"Well while you go search that I'll go try looking around campus and the cafeteria." Aqua said.
"Can I come with?" Ruby asked.
"Sure." Aqua said.
Jekyll looked at Penny. "Hey Penny, you want to go with your friend?" Jekyll asked.
"Yes but, what about you?" Penny asked.
"I'll be fine, you go catch up with your friend. Besides, I doubt it'll be hard to tell who I'm looking for." Jekyll said and Penny nodded as she went with Aqua and Ruby.
Jekyll then left towards the Slifer dorm and the Forest.
Meanwhile, unbeknownst to them, a crow with red eyes was watching the whole thing.
Unknown Lab
Draven was watching the whole exchange, through the eyes of a robotic bird he sent to spy one them.
"Perfect, their alone." Draven said to himself.
"Do you want me to go get them?" Felix asked, itching for a chance at payback.
"No need, I sent two other to deal with them." Draven said.
