Hey all! Sorry for taking so long on this. Remember when I said that Titan and Abidos duels gave me a headache? I stand corrected. This one did the same hence why the long delay. I had to rework some of the plays to fit with my eight thousand life point games. Don't get me wrong, I think the duels are way more fantastic using the actual LP amount, but some of the duels in the show were made to be short. Still, we're getting closer to the end.
Now, review answer time!
NHarem Foreva - You know, that is a good question. I guess I just didn't want Jaden to be rescuing Alexis or anyone else all the time. Don't get me wrong, looking back, he could, but then how would Alexis get over her fears and stand on her own two feet? As for her seeing out of the dome, it was more of her seeing the two mentally when they called out to her.
Hellsink Bathhall - I never saw that anime, I was actually trying to stay somewhat close to GX's roots. Fun Fact, the first season in Japan had some Judeo-Christan subtext and I figured Angels vs Demons was a good match up to reflect this hence why Alexis dueled for expanding on Banner, who says I haven't? *smirks*
The days after Titan's defeat had quieted down for the school. Which was a good thing too. On the fifth day after, the school was a buzz of activity. The reason?
An annual school festival, Duel Monsters Spirit day. Several students were out and about, enjoying the festivities. Mindy and Jasmine were sitting at a table, being waited on. A young man placed two cups in front of them, one being a Cthonian Chai tea and the other a Happy Lover Latte. The two thanked the man who bowed and hurried off. Mindy snickered to herself, picking up her cup.
"If I was like my old self, I'd have flirted with that guy." Mindy said.
"No kidding, Min. Jay's spoiled us rotten. The movies, the evening picnics. Gotta hand it to him, he knows how to treat his ladies right."
"That he does. Plus that time we saw him in that speedo..." Mindy gushed.
The two girls giggled, blushing lightly as they recalled that happy memory. They looked over to see Alexis and Alice walking around. Waving the two over, the four began to chat.
EODGX
At the Slifer Red Dorm, Syrus was running. He panted hard, muttering some numbers to himself. His talk was interrupted by him crashing into a set of paint cans near Chumley. That started a small squabble. Jaden and the rest of the key keepers, minus Alexs, were on the deck of the Slifer dorm, watching the events unfold.
"Nothing else on what you recall, Atticus?" Jaden asked his girlfriend's brother.
"No...as I said, I remember Professor Banner calling us and then...nothing." The boy said, frowning hard.
Jaden sighed, but he took it. Kaiba frowned, crossing his arms. The CEO stated that the professor and headmaster of Red Dorm had been missing for several days now. Searching the island had given no result, it was as if the professor had vanished. But something else was nagging Kaiba.
"Banner...where have I heard that name before other then here?" Kaiba muttered to himself.
Whatever his train of thought was lost when he heard Chazz calling out for someone. The rest all watched him walk by holding a cats tail toy. Jaden got it right away.
"Chazz, forget it! Pharaoh is missing too!"
Hearing that, the boy threw down the cat tail.
"Damn it! So I made a fool out of myself for nothing!"
Bastion stated that it wasn't for nothing. It was for their amusement. That made the raven haired teen start a brawl with the Genius making Zane get in the middle of it.
Kaiba shook his head and faintly picked up on the words 'costumed duel' coming from Syrus. He and the rest looked down to see Syrus and Chumley explaining to some of the people of Syrus' idea. Here, the CEO smirked.
"I think we need to take a little break from the Shadow Riders. Its not every day Duel Monster Spirit day comes." Kaiba said, walking away. "A costume duel does sound like a good idea."
One by one, the group split off, saying that Kaiba was right. They needed some R&R, not more problems. Jaden smiled, about to head out himself. But as he walked, someone placed a hand on his shoulder.
"Judai..."
The Young king froze in shock before turning around. There, standing before him in her glory, was Yubel. Taking advantage of his gobsmacked expression, she quickly gave him a kiss and some tongue. Blushing a deep red, Jaden pulled back.
"Y-Yubel! The others will see! They already know I'm dating Alexis..."
"Oh, pish posh, you can have me pretend to be her." The Spirit said with a cocky grin.
Jaden pointed out that would last five minutes if Alexis dressed up as someone else. Yubel frowned, sighing and making her chest heave a little much to Jaden's embarrassment and delight.
"Okay, you have a point...but I'm sticking to you like glue today! Junko, Momoe, Asuka, and Emi got a date from you, I deserve the same!"
Jaden smiled at that and nodded. He took her hand and took her to one of the several spots he had picked out for each of his girls. Yubel grinned; this was going to be a grand date!
EODGX
Word quickly spread about the costumed duel and the poster really helped spread said word. Many people went out to buy costumes of their favorite duel monsters. But back at the dorm, after Alexis and her group joined, everyone pointed a flaw out in Syrus' plan. By using the Dark Magician and Dark Magician Girl to advertise the costume duel, they had no one to fill either parts. At first, Syrus was okay with it, but Bastion pointed out it was false advertisement. That made the little Red groaned.
"Oh man...I didn't think this through too well." He moaned out. "And I don't want to force any girls to wear it, especially not you, Alexis. No offense."
Alexis shook her head, saying it was okay. She had a costume anyway that the was using with Mindy and Jasmine, both girls nodding. Jaden and Yubel walked up then, asking what was up. After hearing the trouble, Yubel shook her head.
"I'm pretty sure it'll work out, everyone."
Zane looked at the spirit with a critical look.
"I never saw you before around...and trust me, I would know due to the boys talking. And how did you get into costume so fast?"
Yubel just gave a cat smile.
"Let's just say I've been around a while..."
That made Zane's eyes to go wide. Jaden nodded when the Blue looked at him. Shaking his head, he walked away.
"This is getting too much...what next, the Sacred Beast Cards bemoaning them being locked away?"
EODGX
Deep underground, A spirit of fire was currently looking out at the world via a TV Screen.
"Oh come on! It's duel monster spirit day and they have Marshmallon smores! This is cruel and unusual punishment!" Uria whined, resting his heads between his arms.
"No kidding. They have the best kind of teas today and we're stuck down here! Damn it, is it too much to ask from SOME freedom?!" Raviel snarled, crying waterfall tears at the sight of all the teas.
"Give it a rest you two. Seriously, you act more like children then Gods of Twilight." Hamon said.
"Hey, are those Duel Monster Figurines?" Uria pointed out.
The Lord of Storms rushed over and looked at the TV. A wail escaped his mouth when he saw a limited edition figurine of a Gate Guardian and Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon.
"NO~! ITS NOT FAIR! I NEED THOSE TO COMPLETE MY COLLECTION!"
"FREE US FROM THIS PRISON, JUDAI!" The three wailed in despair.
EODGX
Jaden felt a tingle go down his spine and had no idea why. He tuned in just as Alexis said she had a perfect person for Dark Magician Girl. Here, Jaden and Yubel grew concerned.
"Alexis, while I don't doubt your judgment, are you sure having Miss Fontaine wear the outfit is a good idea?" Yubel asked.
Alexis nodded, stating that the DMG outfit was in fact a better choice then what she was originally going to go as. Injection Fairy Lily's outfit was on the more...risque side. Here, Bastion grimaced.
"And that's not a good thing with that kind of figure. The boys would be trying everything to get her to flash them"
Alexis nodded, stating that the DMG costume was the better choice.
"Sides, its probably better then Alexis original idea." Jasmine said, smiling.
Asking what she meant, the redhead told them that Alexis was thinking of Miss Dorothy. THAT lone image of the card shop owner being the DMG made all the boys turn to stone while Alexis blushed.
"Hey, she needs more screen time!"
"Yeah, but not that kind of screen time, Lex."
The trio were about to ask Jaden what he thought, but saw that he was no longer around. They saw him headed off with Yubel again and Alexis instantly got it. She whispered to the other two to let them have their space. Blinking in confusion, the girls asked why. Here, Alexis groaned in annoyance.
"Guys...Yubel is a duel spirit...her dating time with Jaden isn't as much as you, me, or Miss Fontaine. This is more then likely the one day, no, the ONLY day, Yubel can walk around freely."
Hearing that, Mindy and Jasmine nodded a little downcast. No doubt Yubel had watched over the dates the three of them had and felt left out. Jaden probably knew this due to Yubel being around him so much. They headed in to get their costumes ready.
EODGX
Fonda gave a wink and smile, posing in the outfit of Dark Magician Girl. While it was outfitted to handle her curves and figure, it still gave enough off to show off. Having been told what was going on, the head nurse was more then happy to help out. Syrus had a bright red blush on his face, but he was doing his best to be respectful to the woman.
"T-thanks again for this, Miss Fontaine."
"No problem, Syrus. I actually think its a great idea for a costume duel." The nurse exclaimed.
Picking up her specter, she struck the famous pose that DMG gave out when summoned. With the blonde wig, she pulled it off nicely. Suddenly, they heard a cry and shout of Duel monster. Running out the door, they hurried to where they heard the yelling. Entering the room, they saw Chumley and Alexis, the latter who was dressed as Harpy Lady. After calming down the portly boy, Alexis gushed over her headmistress/harem sister's outfit.
"Thank you, Alexis, though maybe next year you can try it." Fonda said with a wink.
"Provided there isn't any kind of world saving needed at the time." Alexis joked, but suddenly felt a shiver over her spine.
What was that? The Queen asked.
There was a shuffle of a door and Jaden stepped out, only he was shirtless and wearing black leggings that ended in demonic feet. He wore a skull crown with a pair of jet black wings on his back. Both Alexis and Fonda mentally drooled over the toned muscle, Syrus and Chumley's own jaws dropping.
"Whoa! You're ripped Jay." Chumley said.
Jaden nodded, stating that he kept in shape for this reason. He not only felt great, but looked great too. Asking what he was dressed as, Jaden smirked.
"The Wicked Dreadroot. Eraser is too hard to move in due to him being part serpent, and I haven't shown the Third Wicked God just yet."
Yubel walked out, hugging him from behind. Fonda knew what the two had done date wise, stumbling across them on her way to the dorm. An explanation from Alexis had the woman give the two their space. The duel spirit smirked.
"All the girls are gonna go apeshit when they see what a man you are."
"Not to mention all the jealous glares from the guys." Syrus stammered out.
Jaden waved them off, not worried in the slightest. There was a clatter of noise and the entire group headed out. They saw an XYZ Dragon Cannon walking up, grunts of exertion being heard.
"Is that...Chazz?"
"Yeah, it is! Chazz! Button on your right! Press it!" Fonda called out.
Hearing the nurse, he did just that and suddenly his treads began to move. He yelped, stopping when he pushed the button again.
"Whoa! Thanks, Miss Fontaine. Jeez, I dragged my carcass here in this thing when I could have just drove!" Chazz griped, seeing another couple of people coming up. "Whoa, Professor Sweet? Mister Kaiba?"
Everyone turned to see the two men walking up. Kaiba was dressed up as Kaibaman, while Jason was dressed as Paladin of Black Dragon, minus the Dragon. The duo greeted everyone, smiling.
"Not a bad turnout." Kaiba said, looking around.
"I'll say. Good job, Syrus." Jason praised the small Red.
"Indeed." Zane said walking up. "So...whose dueling?"
That caught everyone flat-footed. Who was dueling?
Chazz said he couldn't, he could barely move his arms and forget about attaching his duel disk in the costume he had. Syrus said he was the master of Ceremonies and was doing the play by play. Chumley shook his head. His deck was still being reconstructed after he got some new Koala cards. A sudden flash made everyone cover their faces. Looking up, they saw Atticus there.
Alexis demanding to know what he was doing, the older boy smirked, saying he was catching up on years of being an embarrassing older brother. He took a few more snapshots and said he was going to show it all to the family. Hearing that, Alexis took off after him, angrily swiping at him with her fake claws. Kaiba and Jason declined, stating that this was all about the teens, not them. Jaden crossed his arms, nodding.
"I'll duel, if only to take a break from my Evil Heroes. But that leaves who will be my opposition."
Fonda was about to volunteer, but she was stopped by ANOTHER Dark Magician Girl.
"I'll gladly duel you, your majesty."
Jaden's eyes went wide, seeing the girl. Yubel just joined after getting a few snacks for the duel and saw her as well.
"Well, this is a reunion for the ages. How you doing, Maria?"
The girl squealed in delight, jumping over to the Fiendish woman.
"Yubie! Oh its been ages! You been okay?"
The two quickly caught up, much to Jaden's and everyone's amusement. Kaiba looked her over and chuckled.
"Came to the island for a day of fun huh?"
Seeing the man, Maria nodded and bowed to the CEO.
"Indeed, Master Seto. Master Atem as well as Master Yugi regrets he couldn't come, but there is trouble brewing again. Something is attacking the afterlife."
Hearing that made everyone who knew what she was talking about look in alarm. Jaden instantly had an idea; the Light of Ruin. Kaiba nodded, asking her to take a message back to the two when she saw them. But for now, it was time to duel!
Many of the boys were lovestruck over the DMG, even ignoring Fonda. She was happy for that, sitting down next to the CEO and Professor. Jaden and DMG took their places, activating their duel disks. Crowler arrived with Zane and Bastion, the latter dressed as Amazoness Tigress. Tania was with them as well, given that this was the one day she could walk among everyone.
"Heh, so Maria is here. Interesting. She must be excited to duel Judai again."
"Judai? His name is Jaden, Tania."
Tania shook her head, saying both names were right. Judai was his past life name, while Jaden was his modern day name. That had the two boys confused, Crowler too focused on DMG. Tania quickly explained that it was Jaden's tale to tell, not hers. Alexis walked back in a huff, having lost her brother. She sat next to the newly arrived Mindy and Jasmine.
"Bro trouble?"
"Yep."
"Don't look now, but Zane is blushing up a storm." Mindy giggled.
Jasmine smirked, stating that they were already taken. There was some feedback when Chazz tested out the microphone and asked where Syrus was. The young red quickly came out, wearing a black bowtie.
"WELCOME EVERYONE TO OUR ONE AND ONLY EVENT TODAY! THE DUEL MONSTERS SPIRIT DAY COSTUME DUEL!"
The crowds of students and teachers all cheered. Syrus waited for them to settled down, introducing Jaden first.
"I'M SURE THIS DUELIST NEEDS NO INTRO DUE TO HIM BEING A LEGEND IN HIS OWN RIGHT, BUT FOR THOSE WHO DON'T KNOW, SHAME ON YOU! I'M KIDDING, ITS THE SUPREME KING OF THE RING HIMSELF, JADEN YUKI, DRESSED AS THE FEARSOME WICKED DREADROOT!"
Jaden gave a wave to the crowds, many of the guys seething at how toned he was. That rage further increased when they heard their girlfriends cry out in delight. Syrus rubbed the back of his head, watching the antics while Chazz sweat dropped.
"Jeez, they act like they never saw a guy topless before..." Chazz mumbled.
"MOVING ON BEFORE THIS BECOMES AN ALL OUT BRAWL, WE HAVE A SPECIAL GUEST TODAY FOLKS! IT IS WITH GREAT PRIDE AND JOY WE INTRODUCE THE DARK MAGICIAN GIRL TO OUR FAIR SCHOOL!"
The woman walked out onto the field, giving a wave and smile to the crowds. Now it was a reverse; the boys were gaga over her while the girls save for five, were jealous. The two slotted in their decks and readied their disks
A cry of duel made everyone turn to the match.
DMG: 8000/Jaden: 8000
DMG drew first, looking at it. Adding it to her hand, she placed a monster in facedown defense mode before ending her turn. Jaden drew his own and looked at it. Smirking, he revealed it.
"I summon Zure, Knight of Dark World!"
A demonic looking knight appeared, brandishing its sword. Jaden chose another card and revealed it to be a spell.
"Next, is the Cheerful Coffin. This allows me to discard up to three cards from my hand. I send to my grave, Goldd Wu-lord, Silva Warlord, and finally, Snoww Unlight of Dark world to my grave. But Goldd and Silva won't stay there. Due to their effects, they rise from the grave!"
"OH WOW! JAY HAS MANAGED TO SUMMON THREE MONSTERS ON HIS FIRST TURN!"
"IT'S WORSE THEN THAT, SYRUS." Chazz said. "THE DARK WORLD MONSTERS HAVE POWERFUL EFFECTS WHEN DISCARDED AND SNOWW IS ONE OF THE SEARCH CARDS. WHEN ITS SENT TO THE GRAVE, JADEN CAN ADD ONE DARK WORLD CARD FROM HIS DECK."
Jaden nodded, adding a card from his hand. He then revealed it to be a Field Spell card.
"I play The Gates of Dark World!"
Chazz explained that Gates allowed Jaden's Fiend-type monsters to gain three hundred extra points to their attack and three hundred to their defense as well as banish a fiend to discard a fiend to draw.
"THAT SEEMS LIKE A LOT OF WORK JUST TO GET A CARD."
"MAYBE, BUT DON'T FORGET A LOT OF THE DARK WORLD EFFECT MONSTERS HAVE THEIR EFFECTS ACTIVATE WHEN DISCARDED."
Syrus gulped at hearing that. Jaden removed his Snoww from play, sending Broww, Huntsman to the grave. Drawing a card, he followed that up with a second one, thanks to Broww's effect. Jaden smirked, directing Zure to attack. The knight charged at the facedown, the monster flipping up to reveal it to be Fire Sorceress.
"LOOKS LIKE JADEN WALKED INTO A TRAP, EVERYONE. FIRE SORCERESS' EFFECT ALLOWS DMG TO REMOVE TWO CARDS FROM HER HAND TO DEAL EIGHT HUNDRED POINTS. GUESS SHE'S SETTING UP FOR ANOTHER PLAY NEXT TURN." Chazz stated, watching her remove two cards.
Several balls of fire surged at Jaden, making him cover his face.
Jaden: 7200
Zure easily slashed through the monster, leaving her wide open.
"UH OH! DMG IS WIDE OPEN AND WITH THE POWER BOOST FROM GATES, SILVA AND GOLDD HAVE TWENTY-SIX HUNDRED POINTS EACH! THAT'S FIFTY-TWO HUNDRED DAMAGE!" Syrus panicked.
"THIS IS GONNA HURT."
Jaden ordered the two lords to attack, both of whom charged. DMG gasped, covering her head when the two monsters struck her.
DMG: 2800
The crowd all began to boo at Jaden, the King ignoring it. Syrus commented that it looked like the crowd didn't like Jaden fighting back or fighting at all. Alexis hissed, asking what was he suppose to do, give up? This was Jaden for pete's sake! The day he gave up would be the day Crowler openly admitted his was gay! The comment drew a laugh from Kaiba and a yell of rage from Crowler. DMG just smiled, nodding.
"Still the same as ever, Judai. Don't ever lose that fire!"
"You know I won't. I'll toss down two facedowns and end. Make it count!"
DMG nodded, drawing her card. First, she revealed a spell card, Dark Alchemy.
(Dark Alchemy – Type/Spell/Normal
Increase your life points by the amount you lost last turn.)
DMG: 8000
"WHAT A MOVE! SHE JUST UNDID ALL THE DAMAGE JADEN DEALT LAST TURN!"
Next, she summoned Magician's Valkyria and played Dimension Fusion.
DMG: 6000
Chazz explained that by paying two thousand of her life points, DMG and Jaden could summon all removed from play monsters to their field. Jaden's Snoww returned, gaining three hundred points. While on DMG's side of the field, Dark Magician Girl and Magician's Valkyria appeared. Bastion and Zane pointed out that they had thought only Yugi Muto had the card, yet her she was playing it. Tania chuckled, shaking her head. On the duel side of things, Syrus stated that with two Valkyria's in play now, Jaden couldn't attack any spellcasters in play.
"THAT WON'T BE A PROBLEM FOR HIM, SYRUS. THANKS TO GATES, HIS DARK WORLD ARMY HAS MORE ATTACK POWER THEN ANY OF HER MONSTERS. ITS A STALEMATE RIGHT AT THE MOMENT."
DMG placed another card facedown and ended her turn, stating that she didn't have what she needed yet. Jaden drew, looking at the card. Smirking, he used his gateway to remove Broww from play, sending Grapha to the grave and drawing. Grapha's power then activated.
"Grapha allows me to destroy one card on the field...and I chose your second Valkyria!"
There was a cry of outrage at that, but DMG just smirked even when her monster blew up. Jaden followed that up by returning Snoww to his hand and summoning from his grave Grapha.
The massive dragon appeared with a roar, its power soaring to three thousand. Jaden smirked, ordering him to attack the only Valkyria in play. Here, DMG smirked.
"I play my trap card, Death Illusion!"
(Death Illusion – Type/Trap/Normal.
You can only play this when your opponent's monster declares an attack. Special Summon 1 Level 4 or lower Spellcaster-Type monster from your graveyard.)
"WITH THAT TRAP, SHE GETS BACK HER VALKYRIA AND THE BARRIER IS BACK UP. SORRY, JAY."
Jaden watched as Grapha backed off, shaking his head. He ended his turn, allowing DMG to go again. She drew her card and smiled widely. She revealed it to be a Ritual card and not just any. It was a Black Magic Ritual card.
"I send my Dark Magician and Magician of Faith my grave to summon out...the Magician of Chaos!"
The famous monster that defeated Pegasus himself appeared, DMG gaining three hundred points thanks to Dark Magician in the grave. Syrus was impressed, but Chazz ruined it by stating that the Spellcasters were all too weak still. DMG continued on, playing Magical Formula and increased her Dark Magician Girl's attack power by seven hundred.
DMG – ATK/2300 → 3000
"Now Magician of Black Chaos! Attack his Grapha!"
That had everyone confused; Grapha was stronger so why attack? Jaden got the idea but was powerless to stop the attack. Grapha easily tore through the Magician.
DMG: 5800
DMG – ATK/3000 → 3300
"I see, clever. Dark Magican Girl gains power for each Dark Magician or Magician of Black Chaos in the grave." Zane commented.
"That makes herself stronger."
The black burning attack struck Grapha, making Jaden cover his face.
Jaden: 6900
"I'll play this card facedown and end my turn. Your go, your majesty."
Jaden drew his card, looking at it. He saw it was Reign-Beaux, but sadly, he had no means to get him discarded. Looking at his hand, he saw a trap, but he had two other monsters. Frowning, he began to plan. He first played the trap he had drawn. Then he summoned one of the monsters.
"Scarr, Scout of Dark World, come to your King's aid."
The tiny red fiend appeared, kneeling. He then switched the rest of his monsters in defense mode.
Ending his turn, he waited. DMG drew and went on the attack. Herself attacked Silva, easily blasting him away. The boys all cheered, Jaden scowling. Zure bit the dust next thanks to a quick play of Rush Recklessly, followed by Scarr. Jaden then used Scarr's effect, allowing him to add one level four or lower monster from his deck to his hand. After adding it, he looked at her expectedly.
DMG ended her turn, allowing Jaden to take over. Drawing, he used his Gates to remove Scarr. He discarded Kahkii, seeing DMG's eyes widen.
"UH OH, DARK MAGICIAN GIRL SEEMS WORRIED."
"I'M NOT SURPRISED. JADEN MUST HAVE CHOSEN A DESTROYER CARD. ONLY A FEW I CAN THINK OF IS KAHKII, GURILLA OF DARK WORLD OR GREN, TACTICAN OF DARK WORLD."
Chazz explained that Kahkii could destroy a monster while Gren could destroy a spell or trap. DMG's self blew up, making everyone of the boys to yell in anger. DMG smiled, revealing one of her facedowns was Black Resurrection.
(Black Resurrection – Type/Trap/Normal
Special Summon 1 Spellcaster-Type monster that was destroyed by a card effect this turn. You cannot attack on the turn you use this card.)
DMG: 6800
DMG's self returned, striking the iconic pose. The boys went apeshit, Jaden smiling and shaking his head. He ended his turn with a facedown monster, allowing DMG to take over again. Drawing, she went on the attack. Goldd was destroyed by DMG while one of the Valkyria's struck the facedown.
It flipped up to reveal a massive monster, holding its arms out. Syrus freaked.
"THAT'S RENGE, GATEKEEPER OF THE DARK WORLD!"
(Renge, Gatekeeper of Dark World - LV/****, Attribute/DARK, ATK/100 - 400, DEF/2100 - 2400)
The blast was shot back to DMG who gasped.
DMG: 5700
"Oh was not expecting that." She said, smiling. "Still, I should be on my toes with you, Judai. Your go."
Jaden nodded, drawing his card. He activated his Gates, banishing Zure and discarding Beige, drawing. Seeing the card, he smirked. He first brought back his Beige to the field via its effect. Then he returned it to his hand to summon back his Grapha in defense.
"I then play Equivalent Exchange!"
"THAT SPELL ALLOWS JADEN TO GIVE DARK MAGICIAN GIRL ANY CARD IN HIS HAND. IN TURN, SHE HAS TO GIVE HIM THE EXACT SAME CARD. AN EXAMPLE IS IF HE GIVES A NORMAL MONSTER, SHE GIVES HIM ONE IN RETURN."
"THAT'S RIGHT, SYRUS. SO WHAT COULD HE BE PLANNING?"
Jaden handed her a spell card, the girl taking it. She did the same, handing him a spell which was a Card of Sancity. He smirked at her, walking back. He played the spell card given to him, allowing them to draw six. He played a facedown and followed that with another facedown monster. Ending his turn, DMG took over.
After drawing, she went on the offensive. Herself destroyed the Grapha, while Valkyria targeted the new facedown. It was revealed to be Brron, Mad King of Dark world. The new monsters in the grave, DMG smiled and ended.
"Sad this duel has to end with me winning for once. Once I get the right card of course!"
"HA! As my past self once said to you, 'Always expect the unexpected with me!'" Jaden said, drawing. "I activate my facedown, Forced Casting!"
Everyone who knew of the trap gasped. Chazz looked confused, so Syrus explained.
"THIS TRAP CARD WAS THE DOWNFALL OF THE TAG TEAM KINGS, RICK AND LUCIUS. WITH IT, JADEN FORCED THEM TO PLAY A SPELL CARD HE GAVE THEM WITH EQUIVALENT!"
Here, Syrus realized what Jaden's plan was.
"OH NO! THE CARD SHE WAS GIVEN!"
Jaden nodded, declaring it was Card destruction. DMG blinked before gasping in horror. Jaden nodded again, revealing his hand. In it was a single monster card, but with it Chazz groaned.
"SORRY EVERYONE, BUT IT LOOKS LIKE JADEN WINS. THAT MONSTER IS REIGN-BEAUX, OVERLORD OF DARK WORLD AND WHEN ITS DISCARDED BY AN OPPONENT'S CARD EFFECT, IT HAS ITS POWER TRIGGERED."
Jaded and DMG both threw out their hands, drawing a new one. But a glow from Jaden's grave made everyone cover their faces. A massive roar had the giant fiend appear, its weapon at the ready. Jaden smirked, stating that when Reign-Beaux was summoned, he could destroy Spells and Traps OR monsters. All the boys groaned at that, seeing the two Valkyrias and DMG be blasted apart by a wide array of rainbow colored lights. DMG stuck out her tongue, winking.
"Not bad, but I still have enough lifepoints."
Jaden returned Regne to his hand, summoning back Grapha.
Reign-Beaux – ATK/2500 → 2800
Grapha – ATK/2700 → 3000
Seeing the two powered up fiends, DMG pouted.
"Oh pooh! I lose..."
That had everyone confused. DMG still had a facedown to use, but she was saying she lost? Seeing the confusion, Jaden chuckled. He explained that even if she used the facedown, it'd be no good. For one, he still had his Gates in play so if he removed another fiend and discarded, it'd be destroyed due to his second Kahkii. Second, he still had his normal summon this turn so all he'd do was summon back his Renge and bring his Grapha back. DMG nodded, stating that she couldn't believe she fell for the same tactic AGAIN! Still, it was a fun match and unlike last time, she did damage him around this time! Jaden nodded, stating that it had been fun dueling her again.
He ordered an attack with his two fiends, both looking at DMG with apologetic looks. DMG waved happily at the two, the attacks striking home. The explosion made everyone cover their faces.
DMG: 0
"AW MAN...DARK MAGICIAN GIRL LOST..."
"SAD TO SAY SYRUS, IT WAS A FORGONE CONCLUSION. THIS IS THE SUPREME KING OF THE RING WE'RE TALKING ABOUT. STILL, LET'S GIVE A BIG HAND TO THE TWO!"
Everyone did, clapping louder for DMG then for Jaden. The golden eyed teen rolled his eyes.
"Back to be being the bad guy..."
He was approached by Alexis, Jasmine, Yubel, Mindy, and Fonda. Each one gave him a kiss on the cheek, not seen by the boys because of DMG's presence.
"That's okay, Jay." Alexis said, smiling.
"We like bad boys." Mindy and Jasmine said together.
"They do tend to be more on the naughty side..." Fonda giggled, Yubel nodding with a grin.
Jaden smiled, wrapping his arms around Yubel and Alexis. He stated that he'd be what he was always going to be to them. That made the five women laugh.
EODGX
As the night came on, a large bonfire was started. Alexis, Jasmine, and Mindy showed off their costumes, making many of the boys cheer and some girls too. Jaden saw Zane blushing up a storm, but ignored it. His attention was on Yubel once again, the two roasting marshmallows. Out of the corner of the king's eye, he saw DMG and Syrus on another log, the girl subtly placing her hand in the tiny bluenettes. Smirking, Jaden nudged Yubel. The spirit turned and saw the same, smiling.
The two burst out into laughter as she kissed the boy on the cheek only for said boy to fall off. DMG seemed to giggle as well, helping him back up. Kaiba came by and looked on.
"Guess DMG has a crush too." The CEO said.
"That she does." Jaden said, smiling.
Both CEO and King's eyes went wide when she handed Syrus a card.
"Did she-?" Kaiba asked.
"She did." Yubel replied, smirking. "This is going to get interesting."
The three returned to the party, Yubel dragging Jaden off to dance.
EODGX
As the hour grew late, Bastion Misawa was walking back his date, Tania to her temporary home. The two chatted as they walked, Bastion curious about the Supreme King of the past. Tania told him what she could, stating again that it was Jaden's tale, not hers to tell. Bastion understood that, only asking for basics like why was the King needed, what was the power he had, and when did he rule.
That Tania was all to happy to give. She told him that the King ruled over fifty thousand years ago, back when the spirit realm and human world were tied together by webways. Now, they had found other methods to travel, but it involved possessing humans which was a taboo in the spirit world. The King was needed to keep the balance between the Light and the Darkness, otherwise both would try to destroy one another. That was the power he had, the power to soothe the Darkness and keep the more sinister thoughts of the Light at bay.
"Sadly, those sinister thoughts of the Light became a new lifeform, a..."
Here, Tania paused thinking of a good word for it. She shrugged after a few minutes.
"A separate identity, like Disassociated Identity Disorder or more commonly, Split personality."
"Oh my." Bastion said.
Tania nodded, stating the new life became a force of destruction. It wanted to destroy both Darkness and its 'parent', Light. That led to a war which had the webways shattered when the new 'Light' attempted to open a second front in the war.
"After the king died, the Darkness spiraled out of control which gave rise to the Shadow Realm and Zorc, the Dark God."
Bastion frowned, stating that event affected Egypt over five thousand years ago. Tania nodded.
"As I said, the King kept the peace between the Light and Darkness. Zorc was around, just in slumber. When the king died, he woke and began to plan his coming. You know how that went."
By this time, the two arrived at the coliseum. Bastion gave his date a kiss on the back of her hand, making her blush.
"Thank you for both the wonderful date today and the information."
"You're welcome Bastion. Thank you for taking me. See you tomorrow?"
Bastion smiled, saying it was a date. The Amazoness walked into her home, the door closing behind her. Bastion began his trek back to his dorm, but was stopped. He saw a strange glowing light to his right.
"Curious..."
More lights appeared and seemed to go deeper into the forest. Throwing caution to the wind, Bastion chased after them. Once he was in, the forest seemed to overgrow the path.
There was a cry of shock and a massive explosion. Deep in the caverns below, one of the gates pulled away.
The Seventh Rider...had struck.
Whew! How's that end for an ending? The seventh rider has arrive and Bastion was his first victim. I'm going to have two character development stories, one focusing on the girls past life and the other being Fonda getting a second date from Jaden. After that, we're back to our main storyline. Please, leave a review!
