Yo! So sorry for the very late update. It's the start of the holidays and my work is getting a tad crazy on the scheduling. Now, before I continue...
Will you bots and non-bots please stop asking for me to update? My world does NOT revolve around me pleasing you. I aim to please the REAL supporters of my fic. They know and accept that my life is busy and cannot dedicate as much time to writing as I like to. Any requests to update will not make me hurry, if anything, it will make me go SLOWER because I get discouraged, believing that I am not doing a good enough job. While this is not true, I do feel like that at times.
I'm gonna be blunt here; if you believe I'm taking too long to update, unfave, unsubscribe and go somewhere else. Clearly, you feel my time is free when it is not. As i said before, I am not here to please the demands of children who constantly ask for an update. Yes, CHILDREN. I work at my own pace but I do have to eat and pay bills, something that this does not provide at all.
For those who understand, I'm sorry, but this is getting old and fast. I had to rant, otherwise, I would lose myself and thus leave this unfinished. Now, for some reviews.
Primordial Enity - Thank you so much! I'm glad this revamp is being enjoyed by a lot of people and showing their support.
Hellsink Bathhall - In canon, yes, Zane defeated Jaden easily. However, in this fanfic, Zane lacks the one thing Jaden has and that's experience on the Pro Circuit. Zane has skills, no doubting that, but he's only dueled against fellow students, many of who duel for fun, never against someone who has carefully calibrated their deck for a higher chance of victory. That's why Jaden would beat Zane easily in this fanfiction, the experience Jaden has gained. Seto Kaiba and Yugi Muto have more experience though and Jaden knows this. That's why those two could defeat Jaden, their experience dwarfs his own. As for the anime guest, the clue of who he is in the name. One word in that name is capitalized. Many figured out who he was real fast. You'll see it below.
Warrior Moon Okiro Zangetsu - I am so very glad you asked that! Yubel uses those names because that was their names in the past life. They are the names she is most familiar with.
Now a lot of you said Sir Inegra and Alucard from Hellsing. You were correct! The third was a bit of a play on the words, though a few actually caught it.
Nelson
Abe
Pan
Peabody
Anderson
Yep, i used the face of DBZ Abridged himself! Well, there we go! Onward to the conclusion!
Chazz and North's students all began to cheer. Many of North's called out the catch phrase, letting it ring out over the airwaves. Chazz laughed with a high and mighty laugh, the cameras focusing in on him.
"Looks like your rep has gone bye-bye, Central! I win! NORTH ACADEMY IS THE BEST!" Chazz thundered making them roar.
Foster looked at his rival with a wide smirk. Sheppard stared at the field, shocked beyond belief. He couldn't believe that Jaden lost. Foster, seeing his friend's shock, stood up. But before he could announce his victory, Seto Kaiba spoke.
"Sit down, Foster. This duel isn't over at all." The man said, watching the smoke fade.
Foster looked at Seto Kaiba in shock, stating that Chazz had won with his triple attacks. All Kaiba did was shake his head.
"That's where you're wrong. Princeton made a huge mistake last round." Kaiba said, making everyone from North to Central to look at him.
"Kaiba's right." Jaden's voice cut in.
Everyone watched as the smoke cleared, but the biggest shock they had was the scores.
Chazz: 6000/Jaden: 7100
"What the-?! Hey, cheater! Check your gear!" A random North shouted, many others joining in.
Jaden merely gave them his death glare, making the students all shudder and sit back down, shaken. Foster's jaw dropped at that. A simple glare and his students were cowering? Who was this kid?!
Jaden pulled out a single card from his graveyard and showed it to everyone. On the massive screen up above, the image of the card came up and a computer voice spoke.
"NAME: WINGED KURIBOH. EFFECT: WHEN THIS CARD IS DESTROYED, BY BATTLE OR CARD EFFECT, ALL BATTLE DAMAGE BECOMES ZERO UNTIL THE END OF THE TURN."
Hearing that, Chazz gave a gasp of shock. His Armed Dragon! He had used its effect to destroy the puffball first triggering its effect. Chazz growled, ending his turn with a facedown. Jaden began his own, drawing. He saw that he had drawn Sinister Serpent and knew right away his plan was all set. The problem was Chazz attacking. Seeing a spell, Jaden nodded.
"I play the everlasting Spell card, The Dark Door! Now, both of us are forced to attack with just one monster." Jaden explained.
He then summoned Sinister Serpent to the field in defense mode, ending his turn. Chazz growled, drawing his card. Now he could only attack with a single monster. Thankfully, his XYZ and Armed Dragon didn't need to worry about that. He used XYZ's effect to destroy serpent, smirking.
The boy removed both VW and XYZ from play, summoning VWXYZ. Everyone gasped at seeing the monster, North cheering once more. Jaden braced himself, knowing this was going to hurt. What he didn't know was how much.
"VWXYZ! Attack with Full Frontal Blast!" Chazz commanded, pointing at Jaden. "And for further insurance, I play Limiter Removal, doubling VWXYZ's attack power!"
Everyone gasped at that, seeing the large mecha becoming red and sparking.
VWXYZ – ATK/3000 → 6000
The blast hit dead on, sending Jaden flying toward the edge. The camera crew all smiled widely. This was going to be their biggest payday yet! Everyone from Central gasped, seeing Jaden laying on the ground, his hair covering his eyes.
Chazz: 6000/Jaden: 1100
"CHAZZ IT UP! CHAZZ IT UP! CHAZZ IT UP!" North chanted, pounding their feet on the floor and making the stands quake. Sheppared watched, thunderstruck at the prone boy. Everyone who knew Jaden were stunned; he had taken the hit hard. Chazz's laughter was loud and obnoxious.
"HAHAHAHAHA! To think you actually beat me! Hehehe, tell ya what, if you surrender I promise not to embarrass you on global TV." Chazz said, waiting a beat. "Oh wait! I just did!"
Everyone laughed at the boy's joke, Slade and Jagger looking smug. Central all watched Jaden, wondering what the boy would do. He just laid there, his bangs hiding his eyes.
They didn't hear it at first, it was such a quiet noise, unheard over the din of the cheers of North. But someone did hear it; Professors Jason and Banner.
A chuckle.
They watched Jaden's prone form start to shake, the chuckle slowly, but surely growing in pitch and intensity. Chazz heard it and stopped laughing, staring at Jaden's downed form. He raised his hand, all of North going quiet...save for Jaden's laughter.
The chuckles became guffaws, the guffaws to snickers, and from snickers...to full blown laughter. Jaden slowly got up, the laughter escaping his lips, his eyes still hidden by his bangs. Chazz sweat dropped, seeing the still laughing boy before him.
"H-h-hey! W-w-w-what's so funny?!" Chazz demanded.
Jaden's laughter eased off a bit, but they could still see his shoulders shaking.
"I've...I've nearly forgotten...what its like." He said, a large grin on his face. "To be so close to defeat...no one, not even Alexis, managed this and she damaged me for the first time in a long, long time."
Jaden started laughing again, everyone thinking he had gone crazy. But Central knew right away what it was for Jaden.
Excitement.
Jaden's head snapped up and Chazz flinched; the golden eyes of Jaden were wide and held a manic light to them. Then he felt it; the intense pressure surrounding him. He struggled to stay on his two feet and managed to succeed, barely. But everyone in the stands fell forward grabbing the railing or seats in front of them. Foster, Sheppard, and Kaiba all managed to maintain their dignity, but even they sweated a little.
"I-i-i-i-i-impossible..." Foster breathed out, seeing the flaring aura.
"I...I didn't think he...he would suppress his duel aura THIS much!" Sheppard gasped out, feeling like he was drowning in a sea and the sea was thicker then oil.
Jaden's voice snapped everyone out of it, hearing the excited and maniacal tone in his voice.
"YES, CHAZZ PRINCETON! THAT'S IT! HOLD YOUR OWN AGAINST THE ONCOMING TIDE! DO NOT GIVE IN! SHOW ME YOUR MIGHT! SHOW ME YOUR AURA!" Jaden called out, the aura exploding outward like Jaden was going Super Sayian.
Chazz watched the black aura cover the boy, Jaden's eyes glowing completely gold. With a roar, Chazz flared his own Duel aura, pushing back the crushing force around his body and only his own. Jaden's eyes widened and his smile fell some, but then it was back full force. Chazz used his Interdimensional Matter Transporter, removing his VWXYZ. At the end of his turn, the monster returned, escaping Limiter's effect.
Wordlessly, Jaden drew his card. From his grave came his serpent, the king adding it to his hand.
Looking at it, he added it to his hand and then placed four cards facedown, summoned Serpent and finally ended his turn. Chazz started his again, using VWXYZ's effect to remove Serpent from play. Jaden countered it, with the everlasting Trap card, Imperial Iron Wall. Gritting his teeth, he used his Level Seven's dragon to clear the field.
Jaden's maniacal grin just got even wider at that. Chazz ignored it, focusing on the wide open teen. He ordered his Armed Dragon to finish the duel. The dragon roared, raising its claw, the tips of them gleaming. It aimed directly at Jaden who laughed.
"I reveal my trap card, A Hero Emerges!" Jaden said, grinning. "Normally, you select one card in my hand at random and if its a monster, it gets summoned."
"But he only has one card." Slade pointed out.
Nodding, Jaden played the card.
"I summon Yubel in defense mode!"
The winged female appeared next to her king, glaring down the two monsters before her.
(Yubel – LV/**********, Attribute/DARK, ATK/0, DEF/0, Type/Fiend/Effect.
This card cannot be destroyed by battle. You take no Battle Damage from battles involving this card. Before damage calculation, when this face-up Attack Position card is attacked by an opponent's monster: Inflict damage to your opponent equal to that monster's ATK. During your End Phase: Tribute 1 other monster or destroy this card. When this card is destroyed, except by its own effect: Its owner can Special Summon 1 "Yubel - Terror Incarnate" from their hand, Deck, or Graveyard.)
Chazz snickered at seeing the monster. It had no attack or defense points. What good was it?! He ordered his Armed Dragon to continue its attack, thinking that Jaden had just stalled him for this turn. Everyone was shocked when Yubel caught the claw, holding back the dragon.
"No way!"
"It's Immortal?!"
"Damn it, Jaden, that was too close!" Syrus shouted.
All the boy did was ignore the crowds, staring at his monster with pride and joy. Chazz sneered, he was going to make Jaden pay! He looked at his hand and saw he had no monsters. Growling, he ended his turn. Jaden drew a single card, Sinster rejoining his hand. He summoned the serpent, keeping the drawn card and ending his turn.
"Now I tribute my Serpent to keep Yubel in play." Jaden said, making everyone's jaw drop.
"That's its effect?! Immortal but needs a tribute to stay?"
"Chazz, use your VWXYZ to turn her into attack mode!"
"Ask and receive!" Chazz shouted, drawing his card. "VWXYZ! Attack and switch that bitch from defense mode to attack mode! You go bye-bye~!"
Yubel rose to her feet, smirking at Jaden who nodded. Her wings flared out and covered herself, the blast striking. North all cheered loudly, thinking Chazz had won. Foster laughed, Sheppard crying out in dismay.
The loudest laughter was from Chazz.
"YES! I am the best around! No one can defeat the Chazz! I won!"
"Not quite!" Both Jaden and Yubel shouted at the same time.
Chazz, curious what they meant, looked over only to see his VWXYZ's attack soaring right at him. The blast consumed him and made his side explode in smoke and dust. North and Central stared in shock, Slade and Jagger's jaws open.
"What the hell?" Slade growled.
"The fuck is that kid!?" Jagger snapped.
Chazz: 3000/Jaden: 1100
Chazz got to his feet, panting hard.
"The fuck?!" Chazz asked, the camera crew bleeping him out. "How'd my attack backfire?!"
Jaden simply pointed at the massive screen again as the Computer spoke.
"CARD NAME: YUBEL. EFFECT: CANNOT BE DESTROYED IN BATTLE. WHEN TARGET OF ATTACK IN ATTACK MODE, ALL DAMAGE NULLIFIED. DAMAGE INFLICTED TO OPPONENT EQUAL TO ATTACK POINTS OF ATTACKING MONSTER. REQUIRES ONE MONSTER OFFERING TO REMAIN IN PLAY."
Hearing that made everyone's jaw drop. Jaden had a plan after all! A plan that Chazz had fallen for. Sneering, Chazz looked at his hand. He saw he had one monster and used it for Armed's effect. The sonic blades tore through Yubel who roared in anger and pain. The monster gone, Chazz smirked.
"So much for-what?!" Chazz began, but was cut off when a golden beam appeared.
From the beam came a twin headed dragon, a single purple and yellow eye in the center. It's wings spread open, the two dragons roaring, landing next to Jaden.
"Thank you Princeton. Allow me to introduce you to Yubel – Terror Incarnate!"
Jaden explained that if Yubel would ever be destroyed, barring its own effect, he could summon this second level of her.
(Yubel – Terror Incarnate – LV/************, Attribute/DARK, ATK/0, DEF/0, Type/Fiend/Effect.
Cannot be Normal Summoned or Set. Must be Special Summoned by "Yubel", and cannot be Special Summoned by other ways. This card cannot be destroyed by battle. You take no Battle Damage from battles involving this card. Before damage calculation, when this face-up Attack Position card is attacked by an opponent's monster: Inflict damage to your opponent equal to that monster's ATK. During your End Phase: Destroy all other monsters on the field. When this face-up card leaves the field: You can Special Summon 1 "Yubel - The Ultimate Nightmare" from your hand, Deck or Graveyard.)
The twin headed dragon seemed to smirk at Chazz, who groaned. With Dark Door, he could only end his turn. Jaden began his turn, Sinister returning to his hand. He merely smirked at the boy, the three cards in his hand seemingly more menacing them before. The Central rep didn't make a move, merely ending his turn.
Yubel's single eye glowed brightly, a golden aura surrounding both VWXYZ and Armed Dragon. They exploded into digital dust making Chazz's eyes widen. Jaden explained that at the end of his turns, Yubel – Terror Incarnate would destroy all other monsters on the field barring herself. That made Chazz snarl.
He drew his card, looking at it. He played another Graveyard in the Fourth, regaining Level seven and a Level Three. He played a Flying Kamakiri number one in defense mode with a card facedown. He ended then, Jaden drawing his card. Jaden played Elemental Hero Sparkman, then used Share the Pain spell. He tributed Sparkman, Chazz forcing to do the same.
Then Jaden played the Field Spell card, Savage Colosseum.
(Savage Colosseum – Type/Spell/Field.
If a monster attacks, at the end of the Damage Step: Its controller gains 300 LP. All monsters must attack, if able. During the End Phase: Destroy all face-up Attack Position monsters the turn player controls, that did not declare an attack.)
The area around them became a massive arena, shrouded in shadows and darkness. Bastion made a hiss.
"Chazz is in a tough spot now. Thanks to that arena, any monsters in attack mode must attack. Any that don't are destroyed."
"That's not counting Terror's effect." Zane pointed out.
Jaden attacked with his Yubel, not giving any damage. At the end of his turn, his life points went up.
Chazz: 3000/Jaden: 1400
Chazz drew. He activated his facedown, Call of the Haunted to bring back his Level five Dragon. He knew if he didn't do something soon, he'd be out of cards before he could take down that monster. Thankfully, he had the means to do so.
"I use my Armed Dragon's effect, discarding my Ojama Yellow to destroy your freak of a monster!" Chazz said, discarding his yellow spirit.
Yubel – Terror was struck down by the spike missiles. Chazz smirked, thinking that was the last of the monster. Before he could order his Level five to attack, a massive gust blew away the smoke and dust.
What stood before him now was a nightmare to end all nightmares. The two headed dragon was back, but instead of an eye in the center, Yubel's entire face was the chest of the dragon. Eyes made up the kneecaps of the dragon, two pairs of wings, one pair larger, the other pair smaller, expanding to a massive length. Jaden smirked, his golden eyes glowing with delight.
"Thank you so much Chazz! Behold, Yubel's final and most powerful of her forms! Yubel, The Ultimate Nightmare!"
(Yubel – The Ultimate Nightmare – LV/************, Attribute/DARK, ATK/0, DEF/0, Type/Fiend/Effect.
Cannot be Normal Summoned or Set. Must be Special Summoned by "Yubel - Terror Incarnate", and cannot be Special Summoned by other ways. This card cannot be destroyed by battle. You take no Battle Damage from battles involving this card. At the end of the Damage Step, if this face-up Attack Position card battles with an opponent's monster: Inflict damage equal to that monster's ATK to your opponent, also destroy that monster.)
Chazz growled, hating that he fell for the same trick AGAIN. He had no traps or spells that could deal with the monster at this time, and he was forced to attack!
The spike missiles were redirected to him, Chazz yelling in anger end his turn his armed Dragon blew up.
Chazz: 600 → 900/Jaden: 1400
Jaden drew his own, smiling at the boy.
"It's been a glorious duel, Chazz...but it ends here. I summon Evil Hero Infernal Gainer! Gainer, attack!"
The revealed monster roared, charging at Chazz. But the boy was not one to give up that easily. He revealed a new monster, Battle Fader.
(Battle Fader – LV/ *, Attribute/DARK, ATK/0, DEF/0, Type/Fiend/Effect.
When an opponent's monster declares a direct attack: You can Special Summon this card from your hand, then end the Battle Phase. If Summoned this way, banish it when it leaves the field.)
A monster best described as a clock appeared on Chazz's field, Gainer returning to Jaden's side. Chazz breathed a sigh of relief; that was too close for comfort. He was lucky to have held onto that card when he drew last round. Jaden used his own Matter transporter to remove Yubel from play. The king then ended his turn, watching Chazz. Yubel - UN returned after Savage's effect was played, making Chazz scowl.
"I draw!" Chazz roared, drawing. He saw his familiar dragon and smirked.
He tributed Battle Fader to bring out his Level five. He played his second copy of Level Up!, getting his Level Seven back. He followed that up with Pot of Avarice, returning five monsters in his grave back to his deck, shuffling it and then drawing two cards.
Returning Masked, Ojama Yellow, Gene-warped, Flying, and lastly, Armed Dragon Level three, he shuffled his deck and then drew two cards. Seeing one of them was his Gene-warped, he smirked.
"I discard my Gene-warped to destroy BOTH your monsters! This is the finale, Jaden Yucky!"
The sonic blades tore through Yubel – UN and Gainer, making them both cry out. Jaden merely stared, smirking. Chazz frowned, but the sight of victory was too tempting for him to ignore. He saw his brothers both smirking and nodding at him. Feeling their approval, Chazz roared.
"Level Seven! Attack and destroy Central's rep!" The Top North student roared.
The dragon roared, charging at Jaden. But Jaden merely smirked.
"I activate my Trap, Call of the Haunted to return Winged Kuriboh to the field!" Jaden announced, the tiny fuzz ball with wings reappearing with a coo.
Chazz heard his brothers began to laugh, but he and everyone remembered what had happened before. Jaden Yuki didn't make a play unless it helped him in the long wrong. While he wouldn't deal any damage, it was still a good idea to clear the field.
"I know you'll survive the strike, but I'll continue on with my attack!" Chazz roared, making Jaden smirk.
"And that is why you fell for this trap!" Jaden said, revealing a spell card. "Oops, sorry, Spell trap that is! Transcendent wings!"
(Transcendent Wings – Type/Spell/Quick-Play
Send 1 "Winged Kuriboh" you control and 2 cards from your hand to the Graveyard; Special Summon 1 "Winged Kuriboh LV10" from your hand or Deck.)
Jaden explained that by discarding two cards and sending Winged Kuriboh to the grave, a new monster too the stage. Winged Kuriboh became engulfed in light, blinding everyone. When the light died away, Winged Kuriboh had changed.
While it still had the puffball shape, it now sported two massive white wings and a golden dragon head. A tail that ended with two tips whipped lazily behind to the monster.
Jaden smirked, introducing the new monster to the students.
"Meet Winged Kuriboh level ten!"
(Winged Kuriboh LV10 – LV/**********, Attribute/LIGHT, ATK/300, DEF/200, Type/Fairy/Effect.
Cannot be Normal Summoned or Set. Must be Special Summoned with "Transcendent Wings" and cannot be Special Summoned by other ways. During your opponent's Battle Phase: You can Tribute this face-up card; destroy all Attack Position monsters your opponent controls and inflict damage to your opponent equal to the combined original ATK of those destroyed monster(s).)
"Big deal, it still has the same attack points!" Chazz snapped, annoyed at what Jaden had done.
"You should know that looks can and are deceiving. Or did you not learn that from before?" Jaden asked, Chazz pausing.
The golden eyed kid was right. Chazz could have won earlier but he blundered it by using his Armed Dragon's looked at the Level Ten monster and frowned even further. He came to a stark realization; Savage was still in play. No matter what he thought he could do, that spell card was making it impossible to end his turn.
He had to battle! He had to attack! Stalling would just result in his own disqualification. Jaden wouldn't have played Winged Level Ten without a good reason and Chazz had a sinking feeling he knew that reason.
"I lose no matter what I do." Chazz declared, making North gasp and Foster to shout in disbelief.
"Chazz! What are you saying!? It's attack points are weaker!" Foster called out.
"Yeah, but it no doubt has a powerful ability." Chazz countered, looking at Jaden. "I played my best, gave it my all...I came close, so damn close...but...Jaden played the game better. Armed Dragon Level Seven! Attack!"
The dragon roared, charging at the puff ball. Jaden smirked.
"You are correct, Chazz. I use Winged Kuriboh's effect! By tributing it, I destroy all attack position monsters in play...and inflict effect damage equal to the total of the destroyed monsters attack power."
Hearing that made the camera crew panic. The lead cameraman demanded that they cut the feed and fast! Integra, Alucard, Nelson, and Kaiba all narrowed their eyes at hearing that and gained tick marks when the crews did exactly that. Winged Kuriboh glowed brightly, stopping the talon of the Dragon's strike. With a warbling cry, the glow consumed the dragon who roared out in pain. Chazz joined his dragon's cry, the blast consuming him as well.
Chazz: 0/Jaden: 1400
When the glow died down, Chazz was panting hard, staring at his LP counter morosely. He heard footsteps and grimaced, knowing what was coming next.
"You loser, you dog! You're no brother of ours!" Slade snapped, Jagger looking upset, but not as bad as his brother.
"Sorry..." Chazz mumbled, only for Slade to grab his collar.
"Sorry isn't enough, you slacker! Do you know how much we spent? The camera, the crew?! I should have forced you to use those Rare cards!" Slade shouted, throwing spittle in Chazz's face.
"Slade, that's enough!" Jagger snapped, only for Slade to turn his gaze on him.
The two got into a shouting match, much to the amusement of Kaiba and the three. Jaden ignored the outburst, walking up to Chazz who was wiping his face off.
"You played excellently." Jaden commented, extending his hand to the boy.
Chazz paused in his cleaning and looked at the offered hand. Chazz took the offered hand and shook it.
"Thanks...you played the better game though. But next time, the Chazz will beat you."
Jaden smirked, saying he was looking forward to it. The show of good sportsman ship made all of Central roar in approval. Foster and North also clapped in apprecation.
Sadly, it all came to a screeching halt when Slade roared.
"WHY ARE YOU ALL CLAPPING AND CHEERING FOR THAT LOSER?!"
Jaden turned to face the enraged man, his golden eyes boring into Slade's own.
"Because he was a proper duelist. He didn't seek to use a crutch offered to him by you, but rather his own power. That's what you truly fail to understand about Duelists, Slade Princeton. We do not seek shortcuts or take the 'easy' path to victory. We strive to win under our own power, not with the help of weak, pitiful men like you."
Everyone grew quiet as Jaden spoke, many nodding in acceptance of what the hidden king was saying. Kaiba smirked, standing up.
"I couldn't have said it better myself, Jaden Yuki." The blue eyed man said, glaring at Slade. "Get off my island, Slade. You're not welcome anymore."
Slade looked ready to attack Kaiba, but the three from before stepping in front, stopped him.
"We will be contacting you soon, Misters Princeton." Integra said, a smug smile on her lips.
"What? What for?" Jagger asked confused.
"Why, for breaking our contract." Nelson said happily. "Your crew cut off the feed before the duel concluded so that's in violation of the contract you signed."
Hearing that made Slade and Jagger pale. Jagger glared at Slade who in turn glared at Chazz. The two men beat a hasty exit, much to the laughter of everyone there. Sheppard, getting through his chuckles, stood up.
"The School Duel is concluded! The Winner is Central, but I believe both our schools won today. Chazz, you did the impossible. While yes, you did lose, you caused more damage to Jaden then any student here, even Miss Rhodes. Congratulations are in order for that monumental feat!"
North watched as Central began to cheer for Chazz, dumbstruck. Was causing that much damage to this Jaden kid really that big a deal?
Foster explained that there was a banquet set up and for the students to mingle. To let barriers fall and to make new friendships. Kaiba then spoke up as well.
"In addition to the usual prizes given out, I will be awarding both Mister Princeton and Mister Yuki with a rule free request while they are here at their academies."
Both Chazz and Jaden smirked at that.
EODGX
The banquet was well underway, many students laughing and talking with one another, Central and North. Jaden was currently with Jasmine and Mindy, talking with the Czar.
"So these Wicked Heroes are a new line?" Czar asked, swirling his drink, root beer.
Jaden nodded, telling the boy that it was from a contest many years ago. As the winner of the contest, he was given the first set. They were set to go public in a matter of weeks with new rules being made just for the Wicked Heroes on the pro circuit. Czar smiled, nodding.
"They are fearsome...I would not want to face down any of those monsters." Czar said shivering, recalling Fear's attack on Level seven.
"That's our Jaden." Jasmine said with a smirk.
"Always freaking out everyone." Mindy added in.
Conversation continued, but the lights going dim made everyone pause. Crowler stepped onto a stage, a spot light on him. Holding his microphone up, the good doctor spoke.
"LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, IF THE WINNING CHANCELLOR AND REPRESETIVE PLEASE COME UP TO THE STAGE~! WE ARE ABOUT TO INTRODUCE THE LOVLIEST WOMEN OF CENTRAL DA, MISS DUEL ACADEMY AND MISS DUEL ACADEMY JUNIOR!"
Seeing his cue, Jaden let the group, walking up to the steps. Many people watched, curiosity on their faces. They knew Alexis Rhodes was Miss DA Junior, but who was Miss DA? Beside him was a beaming Sheppard, with a wailing Foster in the background. All the boys got in close, eager to see the two hottest women. With a flourish, Crowler revealed them.
"HERE THEY ARE!"
The first one to rise up on the platform was Alexis Rhodes, in a white dress with butterfly wings on the back. She was blushing up a storm when the catcalls came, but a glare from both Jaden AND Sheppard silenced them. Crowler revealed the second woman, wearing make-up, lipstick, and a simple pink dress. Every boy's eyes went wide and their jaws dropped.
"MISS DORATHY?!" Was the cry that erupted from their lips.
Sheppard happily walked up to the woman who placed a big kiss on the man's cheek. Jaden walked up to Alexis, not with a swagger in his step, but the same calmness everyone knew he had. The two looked at one another and Jaden smiled.
"You want to kill the person who made that dress don't you?"
Alexis blushed even harder and nodded. Jaden presented his cheek to the girl, Alexis leaning in close. Yubel was having none of that though. She appeared behind Alexis, smirking as she waited for the girl to get closer.
"Judai! Sunny is knocked up!" Yubel shouted.
Hearing that, Jaden snapped his head to look Yubel in the eyes. His sudden movement made his lips come in contact with Alexis' own. The world seemed to crawl to a halt with the kiss, Jaden's eyes widening. Alexis' own were also wide, but she felt at peace. They were dimly aware of many boys calling out in dismay at seeing the Queen of Obelisk kissing what many still considered a Slifer Slacker despite Jaden's reveal.
Yubel gave a thumbs up to Mindy and Jasmine who giggled like schoolgirls at the sight. After five tense yet wonderful minutes, the two separated, both staring each other in the eyes.
"W-wow...is it normal to see fireworks?" Alexis asked in a breathless voice.
"Yes, Lexi...yes it is."
While this was going on, Chazz was talking with Seto Kaiba. The stren faced man softened his face some and nodded. Chazz gave a small smile, happy to have his request given.
EODGX
The sun was setting when the students of North began to board their sub. Chazz was looking back at Central, a pensive look on his face. Jesse along with the rest were watching, Foster also confused.
"Chazz?" Foster asked. "It's time to go."
Chazz seemed to steel himself and looked back at the older man.
"Foster...I'm not heading back to North."
His declaration made everyone start, North looking at him like he just grew a second head. Chazz explained further that while North helped him reach new heights, he had to push himself even harder, at least mentally. North couldn't do that. Foster sighed, nodding. Chazz had already talked with Kaiba about his Rule Free and had it granted.
North was allowed one forbidden card in all future School duels with Central. Foster hearing that smiled greatly. It was a tearful good bye from the students. As the sub pulled out, they gave a big farewell.
"CHAZZ IT UP! CHAZZ IT UP! CHAZZ IT UP!"
Central all waved good bye to North, Foster realizing that he had left the Armed Dragon series with Chazz. But they were too far gone to turn around. Back at the docks, Chazz faced Chancellor Sheppard. The man smiled, hearing Chazz's reasoning.
"I'm glad you came back, Chazz and proud that you grew so much at Foster's school." Sheppard said, gaining a serious face. "However, you will not be able to rejoin the Blue dorm, at least not yet."
At seeing Chazz's confused look, Banner stepped in.
"Chazz, given that you left our school, you missed quite a lot, that alone would result in the demotion. However, that is not the main reason. The Main reason is that you are considered a transfer student from North and all Transfers late in the year are automatically considered Slifers."
Hearing that made Chazz freak out a little, but he calmed down when Syrus butted in.
"The old dorm got torn down due to several safety and health code violations, Chazz. We got a brand new dorm set up. Its a lot like Ra Yellow, but we still have limited space." Syrus explained.
"Yeah, we still have to bunk three to a room sadly. But hey, its pretty sweet." Chumley said smiling.
"I think we need to give our new Slifer the cheer!" Harry said in glee.
"Cheer?" Both Jaden and Chazz asked.
The reds made total fools of themselves when they began to spell out their dorm, Jaden face-palming to hide his smile. Chazz groaned, claiming his new family was already dysfunction! As they finished the cheer, Chazz asked if they could just change it to 'Chazz it up'?
The girls all joked that it should be 'Slifer it up!'. Kaiba shook his head, boarding his BEUJ with the three. He took off, the three watching the group walk to the dorm.
"So much change in such a short time, eh Kaiba?" Nelson asked.
"Yeah, Yuki really is something." Kaiba said, taking off into the setting sun.
Well, there ya go everyone. Next up, Fonda will meet up with Jaden and find out her past connection to the boy.
