Hey all. First off, I want to apologize for how late this chapter is coming out. I had some real shit go down IRL. All I'm gonna say is that I got scammed. I did get it stopped, but it left me in a semi-depressed state for a few weeks. When i'm in that state, I tend to ignore everything for a while, stories included. But now, I've rested enough and am slowly, VERY slowly, getting back into the swing of things.
Now let's get away from all the bad news, there's enough of that in the world.
Time for review answers!
Adrift Soul - Who took care of Jaden will be revealed in this chapter.
Lightningblade49 - Repent? Uh uh, no way, do not pass go, do not collect 200 dollars! Jack took a 12 year old to the very same arena where Zane became Hell Kaiser. I think I established that he is NOT going to repent...maybe Amelia, but don't expect Jaden to forgive either one.
DZ2 - Wait until you meet the latest creation of mine later on during the School Duel!
With that all out of the way, continue on, True fans!
The new year started for the returning academy students from their winter break. The first thing done?
An announcement by the Chancellor himself.
Everyone was gathered in the main atrium, Jaden crossing his arms. Up on the stage was several of the staff. Crowler was still around, but he looked to be de-fanged...for the moment. Everyone watched as the balding man that was Sheppard walk up, a big smile on his face.
"WELCOME BACK EVERYONE! I HOPE YOU ALL ENJOYED YOUR VACATION. NOW A FEW ANNOUCEMENTS. I WOULD LIKE FOR YOU ALL TO MEET OUR NEWEST VICE-CHANCELLOR, MIDORI HIBIKI."
Said woman stepped up and waved, Jaden's eyes widening at the name and finally placing the face.
Hibiki. A man and woman, brother and sister he recalled, took to caring for him when child services tried to put him in a home, despite him being declared an adult by several states. They tried to help him deal with his donors betrayal of him, but the fact of the matter was, he had washed his hands of them. As far as he was concern, he was an orphan when he was born. He recalled that Midori always tried to get him to duel for fun again.
It was a futile attempt. He was too scarred by the events of his donors to even think of dueling for fun anymore...although even that was changing.
During his inner monologue, Sheppard had explained that the reason the ceremony didn't happen sooner was due to her getting it the day the ship was scheduled to come and pick up the students. After she gave a brief introduction and what had changed prior to the break regarding bullying based on dorms, Sheppard took back over.
"NOW, I HAVE ONE MORE THING TO ANNOUNCE. THIS UPCOMING MARCH, WE HAVE THE ANNUAL SCHOOL DUEL. THIS YEAR, ITS AGAINST NORTH ACADEMY, OUR RIVALS. ONE STUDENT WILL BE CHOSEN BASED ON THEIR GRADES, THEIR DUELING STATS, AND FINALLY, THEIR CHARISMA. GOOD LUCK TO YOU ALL!"
Everyone all began to whisper about that, but not about them getting the spot. They all knew who would really get it. After all, his grades were the top, rivaling the best, his dueling amazing and ability to wow a crowd second to none.
They were talking about Zane.
Jaden ignored it all, seeing his group walk up. Syrus quickly told him what happened over the break and his duel with Jinzo. Jaden's eyes narrowed.
"Syrus, that was a foolish and stupid thing you did. Duel Spirits are not to be underestimated, either in a summoning or in a duel. They play for keeps." Jaden reprimanded the boy.
Syrus' head dropped at hearing that, Chumley looking shocked. He was about to tear into Jaden, but the words from the golden eyed boy killed them.
"That said...well done. You've come a long way. But...we have more training to do. Let's get back to the dorm."
Syrus' head popped back up at that. Everyone smiled and congratulated the smaller teen. As one, they headed back to the Slifer Red dorm.
EODGX
No sooner had the group arrived, they saw the new and improved Slifer Red Dorm.
It was now a two story building, further from the edge of the cliffs by a good hundred and fifty feet. They still would get a grand view of sea and it still had the wrap around on the second story. A massive window sat in the center, showing a common area for the students to relax in while leading to several dorm rooms to the left and right. A second building built in the same way the first one was and was several feet from it, showing an emblem of a girl. They knew right away what it was; a Slifer Red Girls dorm.
Syrus commented that they were lucky no girls had made it into Slifer...at least not yet. Otherwise they'd have to room with the boys.
"Nah, they'd drop out after hearing Jerome's rants." A Slifer commented making everyone nod, save for Jerome.
As they continued to the new dorm, outside of the boys' dorm, Banner was there, a small teen at his side. The teen wore a red blazer, dark gray pants, a scarf and a massive hat. Banner, seeing the group, smiled and waved.
"Hello, everyone. I know that classes start soon, but I wanted to take this time to introduce a transfer student to the school Everyone, meet Blair Flannigan. Blair, meet the Slifer Red Dorms duelists and their leader, Jaden Yuki." Banner said, smiling.
Blair's eyes went wide at that last name. Jaden Yuki? As in The Supreme King of the Ring? Here?! The newcomer stood stock still, staring up at the leader. He blushed at seeing the Golden eyed boy standing at the ready, eyes cool and indifferent. Everyone of the boys said hello to the newcomer, but he ignored them, staring at Jaden.
"Seems he's a little star struck, but then again, its not often you get to meet a pro duelist." Chumley said with a slight chuckle.
Jaden simply ignored it, bending down to the small boy.
"I hope you enjoy Duel academy Blair. I will warn you, I train this dorm and train them hard." Jaden said.
Yubel appeared behind him, frowning as she looked intently at the boy. Something was off about them; the way they kept on blushing up a storm. Almost like...
A girl. Yubel thought in alarm. A YOUNG girl at that! Oh no...fangirl...
At the dreaded name, all of the Duel Spirits from the lowest to the Highest all surged out of the deck, hissing and roaring.
Unaware of what was going on, the boys dorm headed back to the main school when the bell rung.
It was time to start the day's lessons.
EODGX
Classes for that day were the usual. Crowler, despite losing his position, tried his damnedest to make the Slifers trip up. As usual, he failed big time. The Slifers showed no mercy to the poor doctor, easily answering his difficult questions he threw at them. Finally, the lesson came to an end, Slifer victorious once more. They all left, chatting happily while Crowler snarled.
Blair flowed through the courses, secretly watching Zane whenever he could and Jaden when the teen was around. He watched around corners, across the halls, and even through the window when he could see the two. Finally, the last class of the day was let go.
Jaden stayed behind, his face unreadable. Before him was the door to a miss Midori Hibiki. Someone from his past and someone who tried their best to help him.
A shame he was beyond all help. He raised his hand to knock, but the door swung open and someone came out, their face showing that they were deep in thought. Not realizing that someone was in front of them, the exiting figure crashed into Jaden, sending the two crashing to the ground.
Jadne's face was buried between a valley of flesh and instantly knew who it was.
Miss Fontaine.
Giving out a muffled 'hello', the nurse quickly pulled back so that she was on her knees. Miss Hibiki rushed out to see what the commotion was and saw Fonda kneeling over Jaden. Jaden, being one to always make a quip, saw his chance and took it.
"Miss Fontaine, I told you before when you commented on my stamina, at least purchase dinner for me first! This a tad too fast even for me."
Hearing those words made both women blush, but Fonda knew that the boy was only teasing and laughed.
"I'm sorry, Jaden." She apologized, getting up and offering him a hand.
Taking it, the boy got up, brushing his cloak off.
"No harm done, I'm just glad it was the School therapist who caught us and not one of the other staff. The rumors would be damning indeed."
"Unlike certain others, I know when you're just joking around, Jaden." Midori said, crossing her arms.
Fonda saw the way the two stared at each other, Jaden with coolness and Midori with a relief filled face. Seeing that they needed to talk, Fonda smiled.
"Thanks again Midi. These sessions are really working out for me and the girls." Fonda said, smiling.
Although, that doesn't explain why I'm being haunted by dreams of Jaden...though that one where he was dressed like a spartan was VERY enjoyable. Fonda thought to herself, blushing and walking away.
Midori gave Fonda an absent 'you're welcome', still staring at Jaden. He was still the same as she remembered him; tall with that cloak around his body, his eyes a honey gold and oozing with power. Realizing how she must look right now, Midori cleared her throat.
"Why don't we go in to catch up, Jaden? Talk about old times..."
"If by old times you mean trying to get me to see the fun and joy in dueling again, I must decline. I'm not the same I was when I was a child. My donors made sure of that." Jaden replied, his tone still as cold as Midori remembered.
Her face fell at that. Shaking her head, she sighed.
"You're right...I'm sorry for bringing that up. I...I never thought you'd come here to Duel Academy of all places. I have to ask why."
"Several reasons." Jaden said.
He told her that he had been hired by several concerned parents about some missing students. He had come to the academy only to find them, not become a unofficial instructor. Sadly, Crowler had other ideas. The man's lack of respect is what pissed Jaden off that day and turned Slifer Red from a dorm of drop outs to up and coming winners.
The one thing he didn't tell her was what befell Fonda or the girls. He had a suspicion that they had already told her. No need to drag up that business again.
"My coming here is not going to fix all of this school's problems. That's up to you, the adults...though I use that term very loosely." Jaden said. "I've just opened the door to let Kaiba see why its never a good idea to put one's faith in men and women who have agendas of their own."
Jaden stated that everyone had agendas, no matter what. Good or ill, people had plans and plans within plans. Midori's face dropped; that was the same cold logic that Jaden had used to defeat their arguments with him about dueling for fun. He didn't trust them then, still didn't trust her now.
Honestly, she couldn't blame the boy. He had grown powerful and all it cost him was his innocence. He no doubt thought that she and her brother were trying to take that away from him. It's why they stopped trying.
"I know, Jaden. I'm not sorry for trying to cure the incurable in you...what I am sorry is that I nearly did the same thing your donor did to you."
Jaden snorted in amusement.
"At least you recognize your failings. Midi, you see the best in everyone...while noble, it is borderline naivety. Do not think for one minute that someone says they will do better that they will. As Tao once said, 'Swift death to Evil roots allows the Tree of Balance to grow healthy and strong.' You need to sadly beat the thoughts of certain acts out of one's head in order for them to become better."
Midori smirked at that, commenting that Jaden had taken to philosophy well. All that did was make the boy smile. He received an alert to his PDA and sighed.
"Study group. I have to go, Miss Hibiki."
Midori nodded, sending the boy on his way.
EODGX
Exiting the school, Jaden began his trek to Slifer. But before he even got half-way down the path, he saw Blair out of the corner of his eye. The boy was running in the other direction, away from Red. Frowning and a tad curious, Jaden followed after the boy.
The two arrived at the Obelisk Blue Dorm, Jaden arriving in time to see Blair climbing a tree. Now concerned, the boy followed after him, knowing that trespassing was grounds for being expelled. The teen climbed up the same tree and landed on the balcony, grunting a tad from the impact. He saw an opened balcony door and walked over. Peering in, he saw Blair rummaging through a drawer.
The boy pulled out a deck box, opening it, and pulled out three cards. One of them was a metal dragon. Having been told by Syrus what his brother used, Jaden knew right away that it was Zane's deck.
"What's that darn fool doing?" Jaden asked quietly.
He got his answer when the boy began to cuddle the deck box of all things! That made Jaden take a step back in shock. What was going on here?!
"Come on guys, let's head upstairs. We got a pop quiz coming up in Crowler's class..." Came a male's voice below.
"Man, I hate it when that guy lets us know ahead of time, but doesn't tell either the Slifers or the Ra's!" Another one griped.
Looking down, Jaden saw four boys coming their way, the center of them being Zane. Groaning, he hurried into the room, startling Blair.
"What are you doing here?!" The boy demanded, his voice an octave higher.
"Saving your scrawny ass from being expelled! Come on!" Jaden snarled, grabbing the smaller Slifer's hand and yanking hard.
The sudden yank made Blair's hat fall off along with something shiny. Hearing a metal object hitting the ground, Jaden turned his attention back to Blair to ask what had been knocked over.
What he got was another shock; Blair had long black-blue hair that reached down to her knees. Jaden stared in shock at the female care put into it.
"What the Fu-?" Jaden started to ask.
He was bowled over by a now panicking Blair. Stumbling, Jaden crashed into the balcony railing, blearily seeing Blair jump the railing and land on the branches, quickly scrambling down. Laughter was heard as the door to Zane's room opened up.
The four boys walked in, stopping when they saw Jaden on the Balcony.
"What the? Jaden? Why are you here?" Clarence Biggs asked, hurrying over and helping the boy up.
Clarence was one of the few Obelisk Blues that didn't look down on either the Slifers or the Ra students. Along with him was Jeremy Katcher and Louis Vance. They joined Clarence, concern on their faces. Jeremy noticed Zane's deck out but knew Jaden wasn't the culprit.
"What happened here? Was someone trying to steal Zane's deck?" He asked aloud.
"Not exactly." Jaden grunted out, holding his head.
He told the group that he saw the newest male member of Slifer red by the name of Blair Flannigan running to the Blue Boys' dorm, sneak into Zane's room and found the boy's deck box. At first, Jaden did think that Blair was stealing, but then the boy began to...cuddle Zane's deck. That made the other three boys blanch and Zane to quirk an eyebrow. Jaden told them that he saw the four of them coming and went to get Blair out so he wouldn't get in trouble.
"Turns out that he was really a she. How'd I find this out? When I yanked her to get clear, her hat fell off and I heard something metal hit the ground." Jaden said, searching the floor.
He got down on his knees and moved his hands around to find it. His hands bumped into something and he grabbed it. Standing up, he showed it to the four.
It was a metal hair pin.
"Okay, that's a Miss Belouche's pin." Clarence said, noting the looks he was getting. "My mom, she always wears those to keep her hair in a bun. So it was a girl disguised as a boy? Why go through all that trouble?"
"Simple. To meet the someone that they admire. That's Zane, but my being here also played a factor." Jaden said, pocketing the pin.
"Makes sense. I mean, you are pretty famous both on and off the pro circuit." Jeremy pointed out.
Jaden nodded, stating that he thinks the girl in question was quite young. Schoolgirl crushes. That made the three go ah in response, Zane frowning. He was trying to remember where he had heard or seen the name of this Blair. While he was concentrating on that, Louis asked Jaden what the plan was.
The supreme king looked at the quartet.
"That's easy. Blair will come to me, to duel me in order to gain my silence. I have no plan but to wait." Jaden said, leaving the room via the front door.
"I'm headed to the Slifer dorm tonight. I wanna see him duel." Clarence said.
The other two boys echoed the same sentiment. Zane just shook his head.
EODGX
Night approached swiftly, Jaden standing next to Blair on a beachhead near the Slifer Dorms. Syrus, Chumley, the rest of Red, Clarence, Jeremy, Louis, and Zane watched from the top of the cliff, not hearing what the two were saying.
"So Blair was really a girl. Huh, explains a lot..." Syrus said.
"Yeah, but...I think she's way too young to be here at the school." Chumley pointed out.
Whatever was said between everyone was lost when they heard the shout of 'DUEL!' and saw Jaden and Blair in a battle stance. Everyone watched with eager eyes. The group of boys were joined by Mindy, Jasmine, and Alexis.
"What's going on?" Alexis asked, confused.
Harry told the three everything that had gone down and now how Blair was dueling Jaden to keep her exposed identity a secret. The Duel had just gotten underway.
Jaden: 8000/Blair: 8000
"Get ready," Blair said drawing her card. "To fall in love! I play Maiden in Love in attack mode!"
(Maiden in Love – LV/**, Attribute/LIGHT, ATK/400, DEF/300, Type/Spellcaster/Effect.
As long as this card remains face-up on the field in face-up Attack Position, it is not destroyed as a result of battle. Put a "Maiden Counter" on a monster that attacks this card.)
A young female in a yellow dress appeared with several sparkles. Jaden frowned, memories of his past coming up. Oh how he HATED that girl! She always used that same damn card! It got even worse when he went pro. Seeing the card again made his blood boil.
"I'll set a card facedown and end." Blair said.
"I draw!" Jaden said, drawing.
Blair activated her facedown, revealing it to be Spirit Barrier. As long as she had a monster card in play, she would take no damage. James had suggested it to her under her boy disguise when he saw her deck. Jaden shot a glare at the lavender haired teen who cringed.
"So you took your monster's biggest weakness and covered it with that Barrier. Impressive, but it won't help you. I play Dark Fusion, fusing Burstintrix with Clayman. Now come aide your king, Evil Hero Infernal Sniper!"
(Evil HERO Infernal Sniper – LV/******, Attribute/DARK, ATK/2000, DEF/2500, Type/Fusion/Fiend/Effect.
"Elemental HERO Clayman" + "Elemental HERO Burstinatrix"
Must be Special Summoned with "Dark Fusion" and cannot be Special Summoned by other ways. This card cannot be destroyed by Spell Cards. During each of your Standby Phases: Inflict 1000 damage to your opponent. This card must be in face-up Defense Position to activate and to resolve this effect.)
The twisted form of Rampart Blaster arrived on the field, growling lowly. Jaden smirked.
"Due to your Barrier, I cannot deal damage to you in the normal way, so I have a work around."
Jaden told Blair that during each of his standby phases, Sniper would take out a thousand points. He also told that since it wasn't an attack, no maiden counter would be placed on his monsters. Blair scowled at that, getting an idea that Jaden had once fought against this card. Jaden chose another two cards and placed them facedown, ending his turn.
"I draw!" Blair said, drawing a card.
Seeing a more grown version of her maiden, she smirked.
"I tribute my Maiden in Love for...Noble Maiden of Love in attack mode!"
(Noble Maiden of Love – LV/*****, Attribute/LIGHT, ATK/1900, DEF/1500, Type/Spellcaster/Effect.
So long as this card remains in Attack mode, it cannot be destroyed as a result of Battle. When this card attacks or is attacked, add 1 "Maiden Counter" to the target Monster.)
The Girl seemed to grow up before everyone's eyes, gaining a forest green dress. Blair smirked.
"I now attack with my Noble Maiden! Thanks to my Barrier, I take no damage and your Sniper gains a Maiden counter!"
A pink glowing heart appeared on the Evil Hero's chest. Yubel appeared at Jaden's side, frantic.
"Jaden! We got a problem! A BIG one!" Yubel said.
"What is it?" Jaden asked.
The scene around them changed to just the Noble Maiden talking with Sniper. Jaden's eyes went wide; that card was a spirit?!
"P-please, milady, forgive this one...I didn't mean to hurt you." Sniper pleaded.
"It's fine, my fair Sniper. Tis only a small scratch." Noble Maiden replied.
"What in the world?! SNIPER!" Jaden snarled, Yubel shaking her head.
The Demonic spirit told Jaden it was no good. The Sniper was...in love. Jaden scowled, vowing to throttle Pegasus for making such a series of cards! Blair continued her turn, playing Cupid's Bow.
(Cupid's Bow – Type/Spell/Equip. Once per turn, Take control of a monster with 1 "Maiden Counter". Return that card at the End Phase of your next turn.)
A golden bow appeared in Noble Maiden's hand. Blair explained that once a turn, she could take control of a monster with a Maiden Counter on it. Sniper jumped over onto Blair's field, kneeling down. Jaden scowled, Yubel frowning.
"I'll set a card and end my turn. Sorry, Jaden."
Jaden didn't say a thing, he just drew his card. Seeing it was another Evil Hero, he grinned.
"I play Evil Hero Ripper in attack mode!" Jaden roared.
(Evil HERO Ripper – LV/****, Attribute/DARK, ATK/1600, DEF/1000, Type/Fiend/Effect. Once per turn, you choose 1 monster on the field. Inflict damage equal to half a monsters ATK. This card cannot attack if you use this effect.)
A man in a large trench coat appeared, wearing a mask. He chuckled darkly, making Blair shiver.
"I now use my Ripper's effect. I can choose a monster on the field and then inflict half that monsters attack points as damage. Sniper! You're my target!"
Ripper brought out several buzzsaws, throwing them at Blair. Each one became an energy shot, striking her hard. She cried out, covering her face with her arms.
Jaden: 8000/Blair: 7000
"I'm not done yet! Next, I play Evil Cry!"
(Evil Cry – Type/Spell/Normal. Tribute 1 "HERO" monster. Special Summon 1 "HERO" monster from your hand or deck whose level is two stars higher then the Tributed "HERO" monster.)
Jaden explained that by tributing his Ripper, he could summon a monster whose star level that was two higher. Since Ripper was a level four, he could summon a level six Hero. Jaden picked out a single card from his deck and revealed it.
"I summon from my deck, Evil Hero Insidious in attack mode!"
(Evil HERO Insidious – LV/******, Attribute/DARK, ATK/2500, DEF/2000, Type/Fiend/Effect. When this card is Summoned to the field, select 1 monster. Add that cards ATK or DEF (Whichever is higher) to this card's ATK. This card can attack all monsters on the field. Destroy this card during the next Standby Phase.)
A massive monster appeared next to Jaden, snarling. Syrus frowned.
"Oh man, Insidious. This isn't good." Syrus said.
"No kidding. That monster is a pain." A Slifer said.
"What? What's wrong?" Mindy asked.
Chumley explained that Evil Hero Insidious on its own was nothing too bad. But if combined with a spell card...well, Insidious was a nasty monster to face. Jaden revealed his next card, an Equip Spell card Sinister Blade. All of the Slifer Red Boys gasped.
"That's the card!" Syrus exclaimed.
(Sinister Blade – Type/Spell/Equip. You can only equip this card onto a "Evil HERO" monster. When this card battles a monster whose ATK is lower then this card's ATK, destroy it. Inflict effect damage equal to its original ATK of the destroyed monster. The monster equipped with this card can attack twice per turn.)
A wicked looking sword rose up. The edges were serrated, a good two feet long, a black and red hilt with a Dragon's head. Insidious took the blade and aimed it at the two monsters. Blair gulped, wondering what it was.
"I use Insidious's effect. It can take the Attack or Defense points of a monster adding it to its own. However, such power comes with a price. He'll be destroyed at the end of the turn." Jaden explained. "I chose the Sniper you took."
Insidious – ATK/2500 → 5000
"Oh man! Thankfully my spirit barrier protects me from the damage." Blair exclaimed.
Jaden didn't say a thing. He ordered Insidious to attack. The monster charged at Sniper, the Larger hero snarling.
"To fall for such a cheap ploy! Be glad it is I destroying you Sniper and not one of the other Evil Heroes! I can at least keep my mouth shut!" Insidious snarled, slicing through the monster.
A ghostly barrier sprang up shielding her from the debris of Sniper. The blade Insidious held suddenly glowed. A ghost of Sniper appeared behind Blair, its arm raised. Blair looked behind her and gasped, the ghost slashing at her.
Blair: 5000/Jaden: 8000
"My Sinister blade automatically destroys a monster whose attack points are less then the equipped monsters and inflicts effect damage equal to said destroyed monster's original attack points. Sniper had two thousand." Jaden explained. "Now once again thanks to my blade, it can attack a SECOND time."
Blair's eyes went wide at that, the Evil Hero charging at her Noble Maiden. She managed to hold her own, a Maiden counter appearing on Insidious who looked at it with disgust. The blade glowed bright and Noble Maiden screamed in pain, blowing up. The blade glowed a third time, the ghost of Noble Maiden appearing and then blowing up. Blair felt the wind snap her back, seeing her life points drop more.
Blair: 3100/Jaden: 8000
"O-oh man...now...now I know why he's a pro. Even with my combo...he got around it." Blair said, nervous.
Jaden placed three cards facedown, ending his turn. Both Insidious and the blade blew up, Blair frowning.
Even if Noble Maid survived, he took measures to make sure Blair didn't control his monster. Clever. Zane thought, watching the duel.
Many of the boys commented that losing the Noble Woman was disappointing. Alexis rolled her eyes, knowing of the infamous card crushes. Zane commented that Syrus when they were younger said that he and Dark Magician Girl were once going steady. The tiny red, hearing that, snapped right back at Zane, telling everyone that the boy once claimed to have the Harpie Lady sisters as a harem.
Zane blushed brightly at that as everyone whistled and cat called the older teen.
"You weren't suppose to tell anyone that, Syrus!" Zane exclaimed, embarrassed as the three girls giggled.
"Neither were you suppose to tell everyone about my crush on DMG, but turn about is fair play." Syrus said cheekily.
Before it could further break out, Blair started her turn. This drew everyone's attention back to the duel. The girl started things off by summoning another Maiden in Love. Since Jaden didn't have a monster, she waged a direct attack. Jaden stopped it, activating the trap card, A Hero Emerges. Gritting her teeth, she chose the card on the right. Jaden smirked, revealing it to be Evil Hero Nautilus. He summoned the monster in Defense mode. Blair continued her attack, her barrier protecting her. The stone golem gained a Maiden counter who simply sniffed.
Blair looked at her hand and despite the Cupid's kiss and Happy Marriage cards, Nautilus had no attack points. She had no choice but to end her turn. Jaden drew his card, smirking when he saw it.
Dark Fusion. Combined with the two Elementals in his hand, he had what it took to win the battle.
"I play Dark Fusion and use it to fuse Elemental Hero Wildheart with Elemental Hero Avian. Hero of Wind merge with Hero of untamed nature to make a new creature! I fusion sumon...Evil Hero Baleful Hurricane!"
(Evil HERO Baleful Hurricane – LV/*******, Attribute/WIND, ATK/2100, DEF/2500, Type/Fusion/Fiend/Effect.
"Elemental Hero Wildheart" + 1 WIND monster
Must be Special Summoned with "Dark Fusion" and cannot be Special Summoned by other ways. When this card attacks, destroy all face-up Spell/Trap cards in play. This card gains 200 ATK for each card destroyed.)
A massive form rose up, a wicked muscled fiend appearing with glowing green eyes. The lower part was nothing but a spinning vortex. Jaden revealed one of his facedowns; card of Santity. Both drew and then Jaden revealed another spell, Excavation of Magical Stones. He threw out two cards and a single spell came out. He revealed it to be Sinister Blade.
He equipped it to his Hurricane and followed it up with Magical Reflector.
(Magical Reflector – Type/Spell/Normal. Target 1 Spell card you control: Place 1 Counter on it. If it would ever be destroyed, remove the counter instead.)
A barrier surrounded the sword. Jaden smirked.
"Now Baleful Hurricane. Attack!"
The whirlwind monster charged forward, Blair and Maiden both getting ready. The two monsters clashed, but Blair's barrier began to show cracks. She gasped when her barrier shattered entirely.
"What the-?!" Blair shouted.
Jaden told her that Baleful's effect was able to take out all face-up spell and trap cards on the field. Furthermore, Hurricane would gain two hundred extra attack points for each one destroyed. Alexis' eyes went wide.
"So that's why he played Reflector! It would prevent his sinister blade from being destroyed."
True to form, Baleful's attack power went up to twenty-three hundred. The Maiden howled in pain as black lightning coursed around her.
Blair: 1200/Jaden: 8000
"Thanks to my Counter, my blade isn't destroyed and its effect comes into play."
Maiden glowed brightly before she blew up taking out another chunk of Blair's life points.
Blair: 800/Jaden: 8000
"Don't forget that my Blade allows a second attack! And when nothing on your field..."
"I lose." Blair said, depressed.
Baleful charged again, the sword shattering and raising its power once more to twenty five hundred. With a hard punch, Blair was sent flying onto her back.
Blair:0/Jaden: 8000 (WINNER)
Jaden turned off his disk, frowning.
"So that's why you came here. Zane Trusedale is a crush of yours." Jaden simply said.
"W-what?! H-how'd-" Blair asked in shock.
"I've run into that series of cards...not a pleasant memory." Jaden said, a pink haired girl with green eyes appearing in his memory.
Both he and his entire duel Spirit army cringed at that recollection of that...girl. The rest all came down, telling their congratulations to the girl. Sadly, Zane had to spoil it all.
"You know she can't stay here...she's only eight." Zane said calmly making the boys' jaws drop.
"I'm not eight!" Blair protested making the boys sigh in relief.
"I'm eight and a half!"
The proud statement made the boys' dorm all faceplant. Jaden shook his head, leaving the group. He needed to go unwind. Seeing and recalling the monsters had made him tense, he needed to relax.
EODGX
Jaden had been told that Blair had left the island by the boys of Slifer Red. Glad that she was gone, he sat down, seeing a message on his PDA. Opening it, he read an email that was delivered by a Pink Bunny of all things.
Reading the email, he smirked.
They were done...and on their way.
Alright, let's clear the air here. This is the one and only time Blair is gonna show up. She is not going to be in a season two sequel nor will she look older.
In the Japanese dub, I can let it pass due to her being eleven in that.
But in the American dub? No. Just...NO. An eight year old looking like a sixteen year old?! WTF America!? Seriously!
Please read and review.
