"Woo! Go Jaden!" The cheers were loud and varied but most of them consisted of the same things.
"Nice duel Chazz. If you used any type but dragons or if I drew a bad starting hand then it would have been more fun but that's life." Jaden said smiling as she offered Chazz a hand up that the boy took before retracting his hand with a humph.
"Guess you're not as talentless as I thought slacker. You have a smidge of talent and skill…but mostly dumb luck." Chazz said crossing his arms over his chest and a few people booed him for that but Jaden just laughed. It looked like Chazz didn't know how to give an actual compliment without adding an insult to it. Classical Tsundere.
"In a game like Duel Monsters, luck is half of the deciding factor!" Jaden said grinning back at Chazz who snorted slightly since she wasn't wrong.
"Chazz! How could you lose to that slacker!?" His brothers however stormed up looking pissed and angry and Chazz flinched back a bit without meaning to. Jaden slipped smoothly in front of Chazz and her eyes flashed golden red as she stared up at the two older brothers without fear or looking the least bit bothered.
"If you think I'm so easy to defeat then please by all means. Get your deck." Jaden challenged as she stared them down and she noticed out of the corner of her eye Bastion giving the students who had taken over the video cameras that broadcasted the duel around the world instructions before making his way over. She saw the way the students nodded and swung the cameras over to be aimed at the confrontation between the two older Princeton brothers and the girl in disguise who was protecting the youngest.
She did her best not to smirk and alert them to what was going on. Bastion was a genius and proving it again even as he began to walk over towards them.
"I refuse to waste my time with low class-"
"Considering that I'm at least a known duelist while neither of you could even defeat a local tournament and get into Duel Academy…which one of us would be wasting their time?" Jaden wondered aloud, her eyes staying on red now and really starting to creep them out a bit.
"Ouch burn." One Sliffer said wincing at the factual insult that Jaden had used.
"Why you-" The oldest brother was going a worrying shade of red and purple in the face as he glared down at her while the younger one was sweating under her red eyed stare.
"I'm sorry did I say something that wasn't true? Like I said. Get a deck and prove me wrong yourself if you dare." Jaden challenged with a small smirk that showed one of her fangs poking out from her gums.
"Hell if you want to make it fair let's make it a two on one. You both against me, of course I'd have 8000 life points to start with to make it even fairer or if you want a handicap I'll happily take on both of you at the same time with only the 4000 standard." Jaden said and it was clear just how little of a threat she saw them as given how she was acting and the words she was talking.
"You talk a lot of shit for a brat." The eldest growled out looking furious and Jaden shrugged.
"You talk a lot of shit for a guy who can't duel. Are you overcompensating for something or…" Jaden trailed off and more than a few people snorted and snickered and even Chazz snorted slightly despite himself.
"Why you-" The oldest, wasn't his name Jager or something? Jaden didn't know or care honestly., snarled with a furious purple face and he even raised his hand as if he was going to slap her.
Jaden didn't even blink or look bothered at all. If anything she looked amused.
"Oh that's a good idea isn't it? Assaulting a minor on national television just because you didn't get your way and you're being called out on your temper tantrum." Jaden said just as Jager's wrist was grabbed by a very unhappy looking Bastion who had stood behind the brothers and had gotten a few of the other bigger or bulkier boys nearby to slowly surround the two.
"I do believe that you've overstayed your welcome." Bastion said coldly but calmly as he stared at Jager while squeezing the older mans wrist rather tightly.
"Attempting to assault a student on school grounds? I want you two off of this island and out of my school." Sheppard said having been making his way over as well alongside the other teachers and Crowler in particular looked ready to throw hands.
"You can't do that!" Jager said looking furious and making Sheppard shrug his shoulders.
"I'm the chancellor. The only one higher than me in authority is the School Board Director and Seto Kaiba himself. You really want to test that theory?" Sheppard asked and both of the older brothers looked furious now that they were being punished for their behavior and actions.
"How about a duel to settle this? After all this is Duel Academy isn't it?" Slagger, or at least Jaden thought that's what his name was, asked trying to not be kicked out on national television. That'd be bad for business after all.
"Fine. You two versus me. After the very abusive and toxic way you were treating and acting towards your brother you definitely aren't getting near him or facing him." Jaden said immediately, her eyes still blood red and really starting to get notice from some of the others before Bastion came over and put a hand on her shoulder. Glancing at him he gave her a look and she immediately took a deep calming breath and closed her eyes. When she reopened them they were back to being brown.
"Two on one, no matter how sure we are that you'll be able to easily defeat them Jaden, is inherently unfair. Especially given their age advantage and therefore more years of having time to duel, no matter how bad they seem to be at it. So let's make it a perfectly fair two on two yes?" Bastion spoke up, his hand on Jaden's shoulder and he was more than ready to stop any of the brothers attempts to attack her should they dare.
"Perfect idea Bastion! After all these are grown successful business men who should be able to actually use strategy if they can pull their heads out of their asses and work together. So how about we have it be a student like Jaden here and a teacher as well? We'll even be nice and let you pick the teacher out of those present." Satyr asked with a small vicious grin that most of the other Duel Academy teachers copied. If they gave the brats the option of picking any teacher present for their opponent then instead of going after the refined more established looking teachers present, or the one cracking their knuckles in Fonda's case, then they all knew that the brothers would pick.
"Fine! We'll accept that! We pick that clown mascot looking teacher! But she can't use that Buster deck." Jager said immediately pointing at Crowler who had kept his face carefully blank until he was selected. His bloodthirsty grin made the brothers flinch back, especially when it was mirrored by Jaden.
"Fine with me. I know the perfect deck to trounce you both with. Ready Teach?" Jaden asked as Syrus ran over with her case and Bastion helpfully opened it for her, taking it from the smaller boy and letting Jaden put the Buster deck back into it's slot while removing another deck and slipping it into the duel disk.
"Born ready Jaden." Crowler said already shuffling his deck into his duel vest while the matching bloodthirsty grins were honestly freaking out a few people as the field was cleared.
"Just to establish the order…it will go Jaden as the youngest, then Slagger, then Crowler, then Jager. No one may attack until all four duelists have had at least one turn. There will be 8000 life points split evenly between the two duelists on each team. If one duelist reaches 0 then they are out of the duel. Does everyone understand these rules?" Sheppard asked with a grin, knowing how bad this was going to end up for the arrogant brothers.
"Yes." Jaden and Crowler answered immediately while their opponents were hurriedly grabbing the decks of their rarest most powerful cards they had been able to buy and getting into place using the borrowed duel disks from some of the students who were eager to see their asses kicked.
"Fine." The Princeton brothers said glaring at their opponents while the field was quickly cleared of everyone except for Sheppard as the referee and Bastion who was sitting on the bench next to the water in case Jaden needed him.
"Then Duel!" Sheppard said quickly getting out of the way before the rather furious father/daughter duo summoned out some of their monsters. They might be holograms but walking through or being stepped on by an Ancient Gear Golem was still uncomfortable.
(Jaden/Crowler vs Jager/Slagger 8000LP each! Duel Start!)
