Final filler chapter and this one deals with another loose end I left alone. If you can't guess by the title, yep. Its THAT episode. However, I made a twist. Enjoy!

The days after the Admiral was arrested were a quiet affair for both the school and the key keepers. Classes were held, studying done, tests handed out, grades earned. It got pretty normal for everyone really.

But that kinda changed one day. A large yacht pulled into the docks, several boys in white shirts and blue shorts walking off, one of them holding a large trophy.

"Check it everyone! The Duel Academy Tennis team does it again!"

"Let's hear it for Captain Harrington!"

The boys all began to cheer, the one holding the trophy smiling widely and waving. He was tall, handsome, well-built and had brown hair to match his chocolate eyes.

"Please, please, your slavish fawning is more then enough praise!" The boy joked.

The group all headed for the main campus. Having been gone for several weeks, they were not prepared for what they were about to discover.

EODGX

Jaden heard the commotion first before seeing it. He was studying with the Reds, watching James and Harry dueling. They saw the large group of boys coming up, Jaden frowning.

"Who the hell are they?" The King asked, crossing his arms. "Some of us are studying here."

Chazz looked out and saw the group. He groaned seeing the leader.

"Watch out, its Harrington Rosewood..."

That made the Reds look at the boy in confusion. Chazz told them that he was a third year Blue much like Zane. UNLIKE Zane though, Harrington focused more on Tennis then actual dueling. He was a champion on the Tennis court, being the youngest to join legendary leagues like the Wimbledon. That made Syrus give out a low whistle.

"Wow...that's pretty big."

"Got that right. But...he's let the fame and prestige go to his head." Chazz said, remembering himself. "Like how I was, only worse."

The group of boys stopped and stared, Harrington nearly tripping.

"H-hey! What's-" The boy demanded before seeing the group. "What the? Chazz?! How'd you get bumped to Slifer?!"

Chazz rolled his eyes, asking where Harrington was. The boy explained that he and his team were at a the last league of the season, one that started back in November. They won naturally. That made Chazz shake his head.

"You missed a lot. I left back when Jaden was about to duel his expulsion duel."

That tidbit made the boys all gain sneers and scowls.

"Oh...the Slacker's still here? Thought the Tag Team Kings would deal with him." Harrington sniffed.

"Well, they failed and now their careers as Duelists are over." Jaden snapped, not liking the attitude. "Never underestimate a duelist just because they are 'ranked'."

That just made Harrington scoff. Around this time, Alexis, Jasmine, and Mindy showed up. They caught sight of the team and hurried over to Syrus. One quick explanation later, the girls were fuming. Jaden was a Blue, like Harrington! But the idiot was acting like he was superior. Their man was a pro for pete's sake!

The conversation between the two boys was put on pause when Harrington laid eyes on the one girl worth his time.

Alexis Rhodes. Queen of the Blue Dorm. A perfect title for a perfect girl. His vision was full of roses as Alexis walked up...her lips parting in a sweet, sweet smile...a blush on her face...and finally...

She walked right by him without a single word to him.

Like that, the illusion Harrington built shattered, squeaking in shock. He mechanically turned to where Alexis walked. She stopped in front of Jaden, kissing his cheek.

Eyes twitched for those that didn't know. Their faces twitched when Jaden returned the kiss, but on her forehead.

"Glad to see you joined up with us, Lex."

"Wouldn't miss this session for the world, Jay."

Harrington saw red. His eyes lit up in fire and began to spout out several tennis phrases, making everyone sweat drop. He got between both of them, demanding to know why Jaden was calling her Lex. The king rolled his eyes, knowing his next phrase would expose one of their relationships.

"Because she's my girlfriend. Right, Lex?"

Alexis nodded, taking his hand into hers. Like a mirror shattering, several of the boys had their hopes, dreams and love lives crushed. Harrington's world was utterly decimated in an instant. He stared at the two, both of them smiling about something. Suddenly, Harrington got an idea...an awful idea in his head. He began to cackle and laugh like a manic.

That made everyone turn to him, confused. Jaden's eyes narrowed.

"This is priceless! Alexis is just dating you out of pity! She'd never go with a loser like you. She's just using you for practice when she finally dates me!"

The crazy talk made Alexis stare. Practice date? Jaden? The Supreme King of the Ring, pro duelist and got something Harrington would never have! She glared at the boy.

"Like I would date a boy who needs big and large trophies to overcompensate."

That made Harrington's heart feel like it was pierced by a knife. He began to twitch and shake, Jaden getting in front of Alexis. Seeing the move, Harrginton lost it. He blurted out the first thing that came to his mind.

"THAT'S IT! I CHALLENGE YOU TO A DUEL, JADEN YUKI! WINNER GETS TO BE ALEXIS'S FIANCE!"

"Excuse me!?" Alexis demanded, Jaden scowling.

"There are times I will duel and there are times I won't. This is one of those times I won't."

"That means you forfeit!? GREAT! Come, my dear Alexis, I shall escort you away from these riff-raff." Harrington said, a crazed gleam in his eye.

He was stopped once again by Jaden.

"I didn't say I forfeit, I'm just not putting Alexis on the line like some worthless bauble. She is a human being, capable of her own choices and life choices."

Jaden stated that marriage is a VERY serious topic and not something to be decided in a simple game of Duel Monsters. Who Alexis or ANY female chose to marry was her choice and hers alone. Neither he nor Harrington or any other man had the power to influence their choice. Whatever she chose, they, as men, should AND would respect it.

"No! I am the best! Not you, Slifer Slime! Alexis deserves the best!" Harrington snarled childishly.

"That just proved Jay's point." Syrus mumbled.

Chazz shook his head. Alexis stepped around Jaden, glaring at Harrington.

"Then I'll duel him."

That made everyone's jaws to drop. Chazz asked if she was serious. Alexis simply readied her disk.

"Jaden is correct. This is MY choice. And if it means I have to beat this smarmy little shit stain, so be it." Alexis stated, deploying her disk. "Well, you gonna duel or are you gonna go running to mommy and daddy?"

Harrington deployed his own disk, stating that the stakes were if he won, she'd date him and leave Jaden. Alexis smirked, knowing that her terms were gonna humiliate Harrington.

"If I win, you have to wear an outfit of my choice for a full week, Harrington."

Harrington nodded, drawing his opening hand, Alexis doing the same.

Harrington: 8000/Alexis: 8000

"I'll start this off! I play Service Ace!"

Harrington explained that he would chose a card in his hand. If Alexis guess right, the card would be removed from the game. Guess wrong and she would take fifteen hundred points of damage. The boy chose a card in his hand, holding it out.

"I may be in love, but I'm not going to make it easy, Lexi."

"Shut it, Harrington. Only my boyfriend can call me that. It's a monster."

Harrington made a grimace, a slight one. But Alexis had trained herself to read the minute tells one would have. The slight grimace gave it away for Harrington. She stuck with her choice when he begged her to change her mind, thinking she would fall for the act.

Grumpily, the boy placed the card in his deck box. He then used a spell card, 'Multi-serve' that allowed him to Special summon a level two monster. He placed a Mystic Shine Ball on the field in defense and followed that with a card facedown, ending his turn. Drawing her card, Alexis looked her hand over. Seeing the cards needed, she smirked.

"I activate Machine Angel Ritual, sending from my hand my level six Prima and my Level four Blade Skater to ritual summon...Cyber Angel Vrash!"

(Cyber Angel Vrash – LV/**********, Attribute/LIGHT, ATK/3000, DEF/2000, Type/Fairy/Ritual/Effect.

You can Ritual Summon this card with "Machine Angel Ritual". If this card is Ritual Summoned: You can destroy as many face-up monsters your opponent controls as possible that were Special Summoned from the Extra Deck, and if you do, inflict 1000 damage to your opponent for each, and if you do that, this card can make a second attack during each Battle Phase this turn. Once per turn, during either player's turn, when a card or effect is activated that would destroy a card on the field: You can shuffle 1 Ritual Monster from your Graveyard into the Deck; negate the activation, and if you do, destroy that card.)

A majestic angel appeared in a pink leotard, several white pieces of cloth acting as wings. A large ring was behind the woman's head. Everyone was in awe of the new monster, Jaden smiling. Mystic Shine ball blew up suddenly making Harrington gasp. Alexis smirked, explaining it was her Vrash's effect.

Harrington: 7000

Selecting another card, she summoned another one of her Cyber Monsters.

"I summon Cyber Neo Striker in attack mode!"

(Cyber Neo Striker – LV/****, Attribute/EARTH, ATK/1900, DEF/1500, Type/Warrior.

This hot blooded fighter is a force to be reckon with, both on and off the field. He charges at his foes and sends them flying at Mach six)

A man wearing a black visor and wearing a green track suit appeared, flexing his muscles. Alexis rolled her eyes at one of her older friends antics. She pointed at Harrington.

"Vrash, strike him down with Celestial Storms!"

The angelic woman gave out a cry, summoning forth a cascade of lightning. Harrington saw it coming and pressed a button.

"Not so fast! I use my Receive Ace trap!"

Harrington's groupies explained that with that trap, he could negate the attack and dish out fifteen hundred points of damage to Alexis. Another downside? He had to throw out the top three cards of his deck. The blast of lightning was bounced back to Alexis, the girl bracing herself.

There was an explosion making many flinch.

Alexis: 6500

"I'm terribly sorry for that, Lexi, but all's fair in love and war. This is war sadly." Harrington said, throwing out three cards.

"Well, good thing my Vrash isn't out of the fight yet. See, she has another attack thanks to her destroying your Shine ball." Alexis smugly stated.

Vrash sent another blast of lightning at Harrington making him cry out.

Harrington: 4000

Striker charged then, shoulder checking Harrington HARD.

Harrington: 2100

The boy got to his feet, shaky. Alexis played Pot of Greed, drawing two cards and placing one of the two cards drawn facedown, ending her turn. Harrington drew, seeing the card.

"I summon Big Ace in attack mode!"

A large monster in tennis gear appeared, confusing Syrus once he saw the stats.

"It's way weaker then either Vrash or Striker...so why play it?"

Harrington laughed haughtily, saying that was why he was in Red and he was in Blue. Big Ace could attack Alexis directly. If he inflicted battle damage, he would gain Service Ace but Alexis would get to draw a card. He declared his attack, the monster charging and striking at Alexis. It used its racket arm to strike her.

Alexis: 6200

She drew her card, Harrington adding Service Ace. He quickly played it, Alexis stating it was a trap. The boy didn't grimace, knowing she had chosen wrong. He revealed it to be another Spell, Fast Ball strike. A ball shot out of Service, striking Alexis hard.

Alexis: 4700

Using the power of Multi-serve, he summoned a Mega Thunderball in defense. Chazz frowned.

"You know...for a guy that claims to love Alexis, he sure has a lot of balls in his deck."

"Now that you mention it..." Jasmine said, thinking.

"Hm, I think he might be Bi..." Mindy said aloud.

The answer made many look at Harrington who was having a red face, be it from being called out or just anger and embarrassment at the implication. He ended his turn with another facedown, Alexis drawing. She ordered Vrash to attack, Harrington quickly using another Receive Ace.

Alexis: 3200

All that did was make her shake her head. Harrington was desperate, but he had no other moves to make. Vrash attacked once more, Harrington gasping. The attack struck true, ripping the Big monster apart. Harrington went skidding across the ground, staring up at that skies.

Harrington: 0

"But...she was my first draft pick, my soulmate, my marquee girlfriend. How could I...lose her?"

Alexis deactivated her disk, sighing. Turning to Jaden, she gave a peace sign.

"Now, what were you guys on?"

Well, there you go. Harrington is done and done and its Alexis who did the deed. Not much to say on that except that anime based cards are a pain in my ass in execution. Well, we get back to the Shadow Riders Arc next chapter! see you then and stay safe out there.
