Another Character dev chapter folks! This one focuses on Mindy and features some cards not from the GX Series. More on that later. For now, just enjoy the chapter.

Two days had passed since Jaden defeated Chazz in the promotion exams and he became a Ra Yellow. Despite his new ranking, he continued to train the Slifer Reds, much to their delight and some chagrin. His own victory had gotten a few Ras interested and a few of the Blues. They had come to the Red Dorms to learn. Jaden was happy to accept them. Several of the Reds were happy too, enjoying the new friends.

Today though, one of them who had watched silently finally couldn't stand it when he saw a blonde haired, a red head, and a black haired girl walk up. Standing up, Jerome was going to put an end to this.

EODGX

The Obelisk Trio walked up to the red dorm, Mindy's jaw dropping at its current state.

"What the actual fuck!?" Mindy cried out. "How did this pass the safety code inspections!?"

Alexis and Jasmine were both stunned as well at the state of the red dorm. Shingles were falling off, some more burly Reds up on the roof pounding them back in. One of the kids stepped on a weak patch and his foot fell through, making several others jump to aide him. Cracks were being plastered up, but each time they got one, another showed up. The three came up, seeing Jaden shaking his head.

"Kaiba, you son of a bitch..." The unofficial Slifer Emperor said under his breath.

"I'll say! I know his rivalry with Yugi was Legendary, but this is just dangerous." Alexis said, making Jaden turn around.

"Oh, hello, Miss Rhodes, Miss Fairbrooks, and Miss...uh...I only know your first name, Mindy." Jaden said, sheepishly rubbing the back of his head.

"It's Tang. Mindy Tang." Mindy replied, giggling some.

Offering her hand, she watched the boy take the back of it and kiss it again. She blushed and looked at Alexis.

"If you don't want him, Lexi, I'll gladly take him. Suave and a gentleman. You don't find many of those too often." Mindy chirped happily.

Alexis' own face turned scarlet, Jasmine laughing. Giving a glare, she looked at the golden eyed boy.

"We're here to take part in this study group of yours, Jay." Alexis said.

Nodding, Jaden began to explain what they were on. Several of the Reds came over and put in their own two cents in, warning that Jaden was a slave driver. Jaden didn't deny it, stating that in order for a metal to be tempered properly, it had to be hammered right. So far, the successes spoke for themselves. They did take breaks on the weekends and every other day.

Out of the corner of his eye, Jaden saw Jerome walk, or rather STOMP up, his face livid. Before Jaden could ask what the blonde was doing, Jerome revealed his intentions.

"What you three doing here?! Shouldn't you get back to the kitchens where you belong!?" Jerome sneered, making it Chazz Princeton worthy.

Jaden's eyes narrowed, but he said nothing. The three girls, on the other hand, were pissed off. Jasmine moved to deck him, but Alexis held her back. Mindy marched right up to the blonde and got in his face.

"Excuse me? Who in the hell are you?" Mindy asked.

"Jerome Howell." Jerome said in a haughty tone.

"Never heard of you or your name, Howell. And as for us being here, we want to join the study group."

Jerome snarled, but then began to laugh hearing the request.

"Why, so you can report back to your male blues? What did they promise you huh? A good time? Then again, with the way you three look, you might just be doing it to get a better grade from Crowler."

The killing aura Jaden had during the exchange skyrocketed while the rest of the Reds watched on in shock. Banner himself was watching from his office and knew shit was about to hit the fan. Mindy was staring in shock, but it soon turned to rage.

"Is that what you think of me and my friends?! That...that we're scarlet women!?"

"If the high heel fits. The rest of the Reds probably agree with me." Jerome taunted.

Mindy's fist slammed into Jerome's smug face, making him fall on his ass. Jaden sighed.

"If you think the rest of us will save your sorry ass, you got another thing coming, Jerome." Jaden said coolly.

Turning to the three, he bowed.

"I'm deeply sorry about this you three. Not all Reds think like that."

"Not your fault, Jay." The three said as one before looking at each other and started to giggle.

"WHAT?!" Jerome shouted, nursing his bruised cheek. "HOW CAN YOU TAKE THEIR SIDE?! EVERYONE KNOWS THAT WOMEN CAN'T DUEL! ITS A MANLY MAN'S GAME!"

"Mai Valentine would disagree with you on that," Chumely stated, crossing his arms.

"Indeed. Or Vivi Wong and Rebecca Hawkins." Syrus added.

All Jerome did was scoff. Mindy, fed up with the boy's sexism, grabbed her deck.

"If you think that women can't duel, then try me." Mindy said, brandishing her duel disk.

Jerome smirked, doing the same.

"Alright, but if I win, you can't take part of this group."

"Fine, but if I win, YOU have to bow and call me mistress for an hour." Mindy stated.

"I'm not worried, you probably just duel with cute and fluffy monsters." Jerome sneered, the two coming to the dirt field that acted as the dueling arena for the Reds. Jaden stood next to Jasmine and Alexis, crossing his arms.

"This will be interesting..."

Jerome: 8000/Mindy: 8000

"Manly men start first!" Jerome boasted.

"Why? Jaden's not dueling." Mindy quipped making everyone laugh.

Jerome's face got beet red and he began to rant and rave. During this, Mindy drew her card and looked over her hand. Smiling, she chose a card.

"I'll use the effect of my Fluffal Bear. By discarding him, I can place Toy Vendor from my deck onto the field facedown." Mindy explained.

Hearing the name, Jaden stood up a tad straighter, smirking.

"Ah, the Fluffal's. Jerome has no idea what he's getting into."

The Reds looked at their leader.

"Really? What do they do?" Syrus asked.

Jaden explained that on their own, the Fluffal's weren't much. But besides that, their power lay in Fusions much like the Evil Heroes and Elemental Heroes. He told them he didn't want to give away the game so soon. Jerome, seeing the fluffy bear with angel wings being sucked into the grave, cackled.

"I was right! Nothing but cute and fluffy monsters!" Jerome sneered.

"I'm not finished yet so be a good boy and keep quiet please. I now play the spell I just placed. Toy Vendor!"

(Toy Vendor – Type/Spell/Continuous. Once per turn: You can discard 1 card; draw 1 card and show it, then if it is a "Fluffal" monster, you can Special Summon 1 monster from your hand. Otherwise, discard the card you drew. If this card is sent to the Graveyard: You can add 1 "Edge Imp Sabres" or 1 "Fluffal" monster from your Deck to your hand.)

A machine with arms and a lever showed itself. Mindy explained that by discarding a card from her hand, she could draw a card and show it. If it was a Fluffal, she could summon any monster from her hand. She discarded Fluffal Wings and drew. Seeing a small dog with wings, she revealed it.

"It's my Fluffal Dog who I'll then summon onto my field."

(Fluffal Dog – LV/****, Attribute/EARTH, ATK/1700, DEF/1000, Type/Beast/Effect. When this card is Normal or Special Summoned from the hand: You can add 1 "Edge Imp Sabres" or 1 "Fluffal" monster from your Deck to your hand, except "Fluffal Dog". You can only use this effect of "Fluffal Dog" once per turn.)

In a flash of light, the dog on the card appeared, yipping happily. Many of the guys smiled while Alexis and Jasmine both awwed in their heads.

"Now, thanks to my pup, I'll add this monster to my hand. Next, I'll use my Fluffal Wing's effect. By banishing it and my Bear, I draw one card while sending Toy Vendor to the grave. But that triggers its effect too." Mindy said, drawing a card and then searching for another.

Unseen by Jerome, she had added a penguin and a large scissor like monster to her hand. Picking another, she slid it into her S/T zone.

"I'll end my turn with a facedown."

Jerome drew his card, looking at it. Seeing a black panther with a sword, he smirked.

"I play Panther Warrior in attack mode!"

(Panther Warrior – LV/****, Attribute/EARTH, ATK/2000, DEF/1000, Type/Beast-Warrior/Effect. This card cannot declare an attack unless you Tribute 1 monster.)

"I'll then follow that up with my Clarinet Note!"

(Clarinet Note – Type/Spell/Normal. Activate by selecting a face-up monster your opponent controls. For every 4 Levels of the selected monster, you can Special Summon 1 "Plasma Token" (Warrior-Type/DARK/Level 1/ATK 0/DEF 0).)

Jerome explained that by choosing Fluffal Dog, he got a Plasma Token. A blood red monster appeared on his side of the field. Mindy, seeing he was about to attack, struck first.

"Go trap! Threatening Roar!"

A massive roar came out of the trap card, making Panther Warrior's ears pin back. Scowling, Jerome played another spell card, this one showing a massive cannon on it.

"I play Mass driver! Now by tributing my monsters, I deal out four hundred points!"

The blonde boy sacrificed his Token, the cannon blasting away at Mindy who didn't flinch.

Jerome: 8000/Mindy: 7600

The boy placed a two cards on the field. He ended his turn, smirking.

"First Blood is mine." He boasted.

Mindy simply drew her card, looking at it. Seeing a double vortex, she smirked. Grabbing another card after adding the double vortex to her hand, she revealed a pot.

"I use Pot of Greed to draw two cards." Mindy said, drawing.

Seeing another Fluffal Bear and a Cat with wings, she smirked. She saw that she had what she needed for the monsters.

"Alright! I play Polymerization, using them to fuse my Edge Imp Sabers with my Fluffal Cat and Fluffal Penguin to form...Frightfur Tiger!"

The swirling vortex appeared, sucking the three monsters in. Jaden smirked.

"Tiger is the WORSE one for Jerome to face right off the bat." He said, a twisted and cut apart stuffed animal with red glowing eyes appearing.

"How so?" Jasmine asked.

Jaden let Mindy explain once the monster touched down.

(Frightfur Tiger – LV/******, Attribute/DARK, ATK/1900, DEF/1200, Type/Fusion/Fiend/Effect.

Edge Imp Sabres" + 1 or more "Fluffal" monsters

When this card is Fusion Summoned: You can target cards on the field, up to the number of Fusion Materials used for its Fusion Summon; destroy them. All "Frightfur" monsters you control gain 300 ATK for each "Fluffal" monster and "Frightfur" monster you control. You can only control 1 "Frightfur Tiger".)

Mindy explained that since she had used three fusions for her Tiger, she could destroy up to that many cards on the field. Jerome let out a string of curses as his Mass Driver and two facedowns were destroyed.

That wasn't all.

Mindy further explained that for each Fluffal or Frightfur she had, Tiger gained an additional three hundred points of attack power. The Tiger glowed brightly, getting slightly buffer.

Frightfur Tiger – ATK/1900 → 2200

A glow came from Mindy's grave, a single card sliding out. Before she could pick it up, another glow came.

"I've triggered the effects of my Fluffal Cat and Penguin. Penguin allows me to draw two cards, but then I have to discard one. Cat, on the other hand, gives me back my Polymerization card." Mindy said, drawing two cards.

Seeing another Toy Vendor along with Fluffal octopus, she discarded the vendor and took her Polymerization. Another glow came from her grave making her explain that she discarded her other Toy Vendor and she chose another Edge Imp card. Then she played the card she had.

"I play Double Fusion. With this, I can fuse twice this turn, costing me only five hundred points."

(Double Fusion – Type/Spell/Normal.

Pay 500 Life Points. Send, from your hand or your side of the field to the Graveyard, Fusion Material Monsters that are listed on a Fusion Monster Card, and Special Summon that monster from your Fusion Deck. (This Special Summon is treated as a Fusion Summon.) You can use this effect up to 2 times this turn.)

Jerome: 8000/Mindy: 7300

"I'll fuse my Edge Imp Chain with my Fluffal Rabbit to make Frightfur Kraken in attack mode!"

(Frightfur Kraken – LV/******, Attribute/DARK, ATK/2200 → 2800, DEF/3000, Type/Fiend/Fusion/Effect.

1 "Edge Imp" monster + 1 "Fluffal" monster

Once per turn: You can target 1 monster your opponent controls; send it to the Graveyard. This card cannot attack directly the turn this effect is activated. This card can make a second attack during each Battle Phase. Once per turn, at the end of the Battle Phase, if this card battled: You can change this card to Defense Position.)

A purple squid with blades on its tentacles arose, glaring at Jerome. Mindy smirked, watching her monster purr.

Fright Tiger – ATK/2200 → 2500

"I'll use my Rabbit's power, returning my Edge Imp Sabers to my hand and my Edge Imp Chain's power, adding this Frightfur Spell to my hand. Then I'll use Kraken's power. It can send one card on your side of the field to the grave and there's only your Panther."

The Squid sliced and diced the poor warrior into sushi like bits before it was sucked into the Graveyard. Jerome gasped; there went his only line of defense! Mindy smirked, using her Double Fusion again.

"Now, I'll use the power of my Double fusion again and fuse my Frightfur Kraken with my Fuffal Mouse and Fluffal Leo to make Frightfur Sabre-Tooth!"

The three were sucked in and in its place was a massive purple saber toothed tiger, snarling with its eyes glowing.

(Frightfur Sabre-Tooth – LV/********, Attribute/DARK, ATK/2400 → 2800 → 3100 (Tiger's effect), DEF/2000, Type/Fiend/Fusion/Effect.

1 "Frightfur" Fusion Monster + 1 or more "Fluffal" and/or "Edge Imp" monsters

When this card is Fusion Summoned: You can target 1 "Frightfur" monster in your Graveyard; Special Summon it. All "Frightfur" monsters you control gain 400 ATK. If this card was Fusion Summoned using 3 or more Fusion Materials, it cannot be destroyed by battle or card effects.)

Mindy explained that with her Sabre-Tooth, she could revive her Kraken and increase its power by four hundred. Said beast of the deep returned, roaring.

Frightfur Kraken – ATK/2200 → 2600 (Tooth) → 3500 (Tiger's 300 x 3)

Fright Tiger – ATK/2100 → 2500 (Tooth) → 3100 (Own effect 300 x 2)

Frightfur Sabre-Tooth – ATK/2400 → 2800 (Own effect) → 3700 (Tiger's 300 x 3)

The three monsters stared Jerome down who was shaking like a leaf. Jasmine smirked. It was all over.

"That's a wrap!"

"No kidding! Wow, these frightfurs are scary with their effects." Chumley said.

"All right my three besties! Attack this sexist pig and make it hurt, make him BLEED!"

"Oh no, she's lost it again..." Alexis said, shaking her head.

The three monsters charged at the now screaming like a girl Jerome, striking him several times over. Sabre-Tooth bit down on his left leg making him cry for his mother.

Jerome: 5600/Mindy: 7300

The next one to strike was Tiger, slashing his claws in deep on the boy, drawing simulated blood on the boy. Mindy grinned widely at that.

Jerome: 2500/Mindy: 7300

Kraken chose to recreate the scene from Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead man's chest; it opened its mouth wide, revealing several rows of razor sharp blades. It fell about Jerome whose scream became so high pitched it made several windows crack and the glasses of Banner and Syrus to shatter.

"Oh dear..."

"Oh come on!"

Jerome: 0/Mindy: 7300

The massive explosion made dust and wind blow. When it settled down, Jerome was on the ground, laying on his back and a puddle between his legs. Jaden laughed.

"He pissed himself."

The holograms faded and Mindy's face became her more normal face and smiled.

"How was that for a female duelist?" Mindy asked the boys in a sweet tone.

"Remind me to never get on your bad side."

"Ditto! You're scary like those cards of yours!"

All of the Slifers told her that she was welcomed into the group anytime along with her friends. Mindy gave out a cheer, posing with two fingers in a V. Jaden nodded.

"Alright, I'll get you three up to speed."

While the groups were now chatting about the duel and cards to counteract fusion and fusion support, in the treeline, a man watched with glowing eyes. He observed the interaction of the boy he was hired to take out with the three girls.

The boy seemed familiar with them, but he needed more info before making a plan. Still...if there was a teen like the Blonde on the island, chances were he had found his crew. Slipping away into the darkness, Titan smirked.

The Shadows would soon come.

EODGX

It was early evening and the group had finished its last session for the day. Jaden, Mindy, Alexis, Jasmine, Syrus, and Chumley were on the deck of the Red Dorm, staring out.

"So why was it that you chose to come back here instead of stay at Ra?" Alexis asked Jaden.

"Two reason; one was that the Yellow Dorm had no vacancy. And...here's number two." Jaden said, pointing at the setting sun.

The three girls turned and gasped; the golden glow of the red-orange sun played on the waves turning it burnt gold. The pink clouds were like cotton candy as they drifted passed on a lazy wind.

It was a sight that couldn't be captured with words or described properly. The three stared, their hearts beating hard.

"Oh wow..."

"It's beautiful..."

"Damn...we don't have a view like this back at our dorms..."

With that, the moment was broken. The three got up and walked down the steps. Mindy turned around to the three boys.

"Thanks for sharing that, guys. See you tomorrow!"

With a wave, the three headed back to their dorm. Jasmine looked at Mindy with a sly look.

"Whose hotter? Syrus, Chumley, or Jaden?"

Mindy gave out a laugh while Alexis sighed, shaking her head. She could pick better friends...but they sure did know how to make her life exciting.

And that's a wrap. Mindy's original personality was...way too stereotypical in my mind. So for this fanfic, I made her a bit more like Hermione Granger, at least in terms of feelings for injustices. Now, my choices for the Fluffals series for her.

I wanted to show that she's sweet and kind until you get her mad. The Fluffals represent this perfectly. They look sweet and innocent, until you merge them with the Edge Imps and get the Frightfurs. You know what they say about the soft spoken ones.

Anyways, that brings me to my next point. I will use certain archtypes from the more recent Yugiohs, HOWEVER! This does not mean I will be including the Summons (IE Syncrho, Exceed, Pendulum) in GX. Just certain Archtypes that I feel would better match GX then one of the others. This means that Tuner monsters I will include and trust me, I will include them like White Stone of Legend, will be treated as effect monsters only.

Please leave a review.
