Hello, again.
Now it's time for the main reveal: Kaiba and 3-Match Vs. Jaden and Syrus. However, similar to the Promotional Exams, it won't be without some things getting in the way: a caffeinated and drunk Soul-Bell, and 3-Match's unknown secret to her talent. The reason for Soul-Bell is in the title (got the idea from a story where Naruto was the younger brother of Starfire and Blackfire from the Teen Titans series, and reacted strangely to tofu).
Also, for simplicity's sake, I'll switch thoughts to just standard italics and any canon cards don't have their main stats listed.
As for the disclaimer: If anyone thinks that I own anything besides the OC and the main idea, then I have no idea what your doing on this site. I don't own Yugioh GX or Fairy Tail.
Celebs, Magic, and Bro-...Broccoli?
Despite reassurances, the day of the duel against Seto Kaiba and Abigail '3-Match' Tevaka arrived, and Syrus was pretty well a nervous wreck. He wanted to make his new found friends, both Fairy Tail and Jaden and Co., proud, but he still had doubts that he'll be up to the task. Although by breakfast that day, he knew better than to speak about his doubts. He wouldn't have really gotten in a word without someone saying otherwise. Even Soul-Bell was reassuring him, and she was mute.
Now if only he and Jaden could get Bell to finish her breakfast. She, for some reason, just won't eat the broccoli.
"Come on, Bell," Jaden said. "You need to keep up your strength, and this is all that we're stuck with this morning."
Breakfast for the Slifer Dorm that day was Macaroni and Cheese with a side of Broccoli. While Bell did eat the Macaroni and Cheese, she for some reason just wouldn't touch the broccoli. Kept on shaking her head every time either of them tried.
"Hello, there." Banner said, coming up to the three. "Are you two ready for the duel?"
"Hello." Jaden said. "Syrus and I are as ready as can be, but right now we're trying to get her ready. She for some reason doesn't even want to touch the broccoli, and it doesn't seem like just a childish aversion either."
Banner raised an eyebrow at that. "That's quite peculiar. But there is something I should let you know. Somehow, the news of your opponents had gotten out, and there will be a few cameras set up to watch. Then again, with it being Mr. Kaiba and Ms. Tevaka, it should be no surprise that this would be a popular moment." He then leaned down a bit. "And I highly doubt they would want their biggest interest in this duel be without proper care for herself, Ms. Bell. Don't you want to learn about your long-lost brother as soon as possible?"
Those words got through to Bell, as a couple of moments later she tentatively ate the 3 pieces of broccoli on her plate. Satisfied, Jaden directed her out of the building, heading straight for the duel arena with Syrus not far behind. However, it was by the time that they arrived at the building that held the arena that they noticed Bell starting to sway a bit with the occasional hiccup and giggle, unnerving the two boys.
"Careful." Jaden said as he stabilized Bell after a large sway.
"I-i-i'm starting t-to think that the b-broccoli w-was a bad idea, Jay." said Syrus, thinking about what happened happened earlier. How Bell seemed to be a bit fearful of broccoli for some strange reason.
"Now how could broccoli possible make someone drunk?" asked Jaden, perplexed as the girl swayed again, only to the other side. Giggling some, she hiccupped before walking forward.
Upon arrival at the arena, they encountered Bastion, their biggest source of help with Bell at that time. He was with Alexis, Jasmine, Mindy, and another girl with light brown hair, hazel eyes, and wearing a light blue dress with jean jacket over top and minute amounts of stocking and high-heeled shoes showing underneath.
"Bastion!" called Jaden, getting the group's attention. "Something's up with Soul-Bell!"
Turning to see the swaying and giggling girl, Bastion was about to ask what exactly happened when the other girl, who Jaden and Syrus recognized as Abigail '3-Match' Tevaka, said more than asked "She ate broccoli, didn't she?"
Seeing their confusion, she elaborated. "Albert one time told me of an incident with Isabella, or Bella as you guys know, during her 4th birthday. At least, I'm pretty sure it was her fourth one. Anyways, her class had decided on giving her a bit of a party, and one of the food items there was broccoli. She had a total of three pieces before she acted rather weird. To keep things simple, the end result was the town council and the doctor banning her from eating broccoli ever again. And it all started with her getting seemingly drunk. How many pieces did she eat?"
While she was explaining herself, Jaden and Syrus' faces quickly paled at what she was saying, realizing just what was causing the problem. Hanging their heads, and keeping Bell upright, they said together "Three exact."
Abigail turned white with fear, remembering what Albert told her about the last time she ate broccoli. Seeing Bell collapse a bit, she said "Let's hope that we can get her over to the infirmary before the duel, and tied down to ensure she can't escape."
Unfortunately for her, she, Jaden, and Syrus had to get ready, and the others weren't allowed to leave with Bell. Not even Pegasus or Kaiba were really allowing them to, despite Abigail begging them and trying to warn them. And it wasn't even because of them, but rather too many people were already getting impatient for the duel, and they'll have trouble waiting even longer for it to start. That, and Crowler wasn't about to let them take Bell on over, so Bastion was stuck taking her up into the stands while she was starting to groan in addition to the other things she was doing.
"If anything happens, I'm blaming you, Crowler." growled Abigail. "I tried to tell you of the dangers, but you wouldn't listen."
"Just leave him for the time being, Abigail." said Kaiba, exasperated some. "We can deal with him afterwards. Ever since the Promotional Exams, I've been getting the feeling that things aren't as well as I would like around here."
"Like the fact that breakfast in the Slifer Dorm today was Mac and Cheese with some broccoli?" asked Jaden.
Kaiba was silent for a moment at that. "...That's it?" Receiving a nod, he glared a bit at Crowler and Chancellor Sheppard. "We'll be talking about where the finances go after this as well. Mark my words."
With those final words, Sheppard and Crowler paled a bit while Pegasus came up onto the arena, ready to introduce the duel on camera.
"Hello to one and all." said Pegasus. "Welcome. Welcome to the illustrious Duel Academy. As you all are no doubt aware, I am Maximillion Pegasus. Now some of you may be wondering, just what exactly is going on? Why are Kaiba-boy and Abby-girl here at Duel Academy? As it turns out, someone that both of them are close, has a long-lost sister here. However, one of the teachers apparently didn't like her, so I'm afraid she's kind of indisposed at the moment. And unfortunately, said teacher has made it so that two young boys, who happen to be friends with said young lady, are to stand in their way. Will they stand a chance against our two celebrities, or will the nefarious teacher get his way in forcing from the Academy the young lady they're here for, who is coincidentally Soul-Lock."
Even Syrus and Crowler had to sweatdrop a bit at that. Laying it on a bit thick, aren't you?
"But seeing as we're here to see a card duel instead of a duel of the stiff-necks." Pegasus continued, earning chuckles from the description. "Let's get ready to RUMBLE!"
"DUEL!" Blue-Eyed Lord and Song of Life VS Fusion Heroes and Fairy Tail
Turn 1: "So everyone knows, the order of turns is Syrus, Kaiba, Jaden, and Abigail." Pegasus mentioned. "O-okay." Syrus said before drawing Lucy. "I summon Lucy Heartfilia in Attack Mode." "Real quick Syrus, you mind checking the Extras for Taurus and Leo. My magic allows to summon up to two Celestial Spirits, in this case Taurus and Leo." "Oh, thanks." He quickly found those two. "I activate Lucy's ability to Special Summon Taurus the Golden Bull (Spirit/Earth/6 – 2000/1000) and Leo the Lion (Spirit/Light/9 – 3200/2500)." "Open, Gates of the Golden Bull and the Lion! Taurus and Leo!" Most of the girls watching blushed a bit at Leo, but just about everyone was confused by Taurus. "For the record, Taurus is a MAJOR pervert. Leo is just a womanizer." Now everyone understood, at least somewhat. "Although I am surprised that neither of them did anything yet. Both of them should've done something by now."
Turn 2: "Either way," interrupted Kaiba. "it's my turn now." The man idly heard a drunken giggle come from where Bell and Misawa were, but ignored it for his just drawn card and Lucy and her Spirits. I know Pegasus said to not underestimate that deck, but still... "I summon Kaiser Sea Horse in Attack Mode, then set two cards face down." Best to be prepared, just in case.
Turn 3: Another giggle was heard, this time unnerving Jaden some. "The sooner we're done this, the better." he said. "I summon Elemental Hero Burstinatrix in Defense Mode, and end there. Got nothing else at the moment."
Turn 4: "I hear ya." Abigail said, understanding Jaden's predicament. "Although you might want to keep quiet about you're available options in a duel." Jaden grew sheepish at that. "Thankfully, I got something to work with right here." She activated a card, cleared her throat, and started singing. But what shocked Lucy was when a glowing circle appeared underneath the girl a couple of moments before she started singing.
[Red Like Roses – RWBY]
Red like roses fills my dreams
And leads me to the place you rest
White is cold and always yearning
Burdened by a royal test
Black the beast descends from shadow
Yellow beauty burns GOLD!
And once each color mentioned during the singing, a teenage girl appeared on the field. The first was had a dark red color scheme for both her clothes and her short hair, while her eyes were silver. She carried a red metal block-like item on her back above her red hooded cloak. The second had incredibly long white hair, blue eyes, and a white/gray color schemed dress and dress jacket, while wielding a rapier of sorts. The third had long black hair, golden eyes, and white shirt and shorts underneath a black vest-like top and boots. She also had a black bow on top of her head. The final girl was the most unique in design, with golden blonde hair covering a wider area than the others, purple eyes, and black shorts with brown boots and a brown jacket over a yellow crop top, with black fingerless gloves and yellow bracelets on her hands.
When Abigail was done, the crowd applauded eagerly, happy to get an impromptu concert. However, they were cut short when Lucy couldn't help but get Abigail's attention with "HOW THE HELL ARE YOU USING MAGIC?!"
"...What are you talking about?" Abigail asked after a bit of complete silence. But Lucy's answer was momentarily interrupted when Bell suddenly appeared on the arena, cuddling the blond's hair while saying in a rather childish voice "So soft. Heeheehee."
Abigail, Kaiba, and Abigail's three other monsters paled and slowly walked back from Bell, and with good reason.
"That girl is insane for touching Yang's hair." the white haired girl said.
Syrus was confused. "W-why would-?"
Next thing anyone knew, the aforementioned Yang was suddenly enveloped in a fiery aura as she started growling loudly, while Bell barely even noticed until Yang slowly turned her head to the girl. And even then, she took notice more of the fire than Yang's anger, getting her to cry out and start running around like a headless chicken, arms waving madly. Yang just decided to forgo shouting and went straight for yelling while throwing punches, trying to hit Bell with blasts of energy from her bracelets that had transformed into gauntlets. But what shocked everyone except Lucy was the blasts actually doing damage to the surrounding area, thankfully missing everyone.
"I should've expected magic in this world having at least some connection to ones like my own Celestial Spirit Magic." Lucy sweat-dropped. "Although she is taking Bell's cuddling her hair a little too extremely, don't you think."
The dark-red haired monster shook her head, still scared as Yang started actually chasing Bell down. "Sorry, but that's just how big sis is with her hair. Even I'm only tolerated by her. I'm Ruby, by the way, and this is Weiss and Blake." She gestured to the white and black haired girls respectively when she introduced them. "Trust me when I say, you do NOT want to get in the way."
"Although I am curious as to-" Weiss was starting to say, before she suddenly had Bell bounce on her head with "Where did the pogo stick come from?" right before Yang tumbled into her, knocking the two out of the arena.
Lucy blinked, before quickly shaking her head and grabbing hold of her whip. "At the very least, I can try something."
At the very least, she managed to catch the pogo stick, but ended up with a pie in her face when she pulled back. All the while, Jaden just fell on his knees and started bawling, wanting to just get through one duel without Fairy Tail causing a big mess of it.
"Hey!" Bell cried out, looking around. "Where Peggy go?" She then noticed Lucy, quickly running over and glomping the pie-faced girl. "Lucy! Where you been hiding?"
"YOU'RE DEAD, YOU LITTLE BRAT!" This time, both Yang and Weiss were mad at Bell. However, no one had any real idea how the two ended up completely drenched. Just that most likely, Bell had something to do it.
Finally noticing them properly, Bell swayed a bit and asked "Why you bathe with clothes on? Bad girls! Bad!" Then suddenly started whooping a bit before running off, with Yang and Weiss not far behind.
Ruby sighed. "I'm on it." She then ran off after them, finally allowing Lucy to ask Abigail about the fact that she could use magic.
"I...don't know." Abigail said. "It started about a year ago, during a charity concert for the Arts. Just really giving a few people inspiration to do more than just dueling, unlike some people." She quickly gives a pointed look at both Kaiba and Pegasus. "Honestly, I thought it was for special effects. But tell me one thing, if you don't mind, what makes you so convinced that what I have is magic from where you came from?"
Lucy explained her reasoning. "Well, every known magic in Earthland utilizes a special image called a Magic Circle for direction, and a few words for activation. A Magic Circle just like the one that showed up underneath you. Anyone whose at least been to Earthland would be able to tell you that, by the way."
Kaiba the spoke up. "How so?"
"Well, for us, magic is so common, most see it as merely a tool." answered Lucy. "A small, mundane part of our lives. It's just about used for everything. Heating, light, work, you name it. For some, like myself, we took it even further. We dedicated our lives to magic. It, combined with our own personal ideals, were what brought guilds like Fairy Tail into existence. Magic-users with thoughts and goals similar to each other coming together, joining forces, and creating guilds for a stable home, a stable job, and people you can call friends and allies." Lucy chuckled a bit. "Although, in our case, it's more of a big, loyal family. A big family that can't spend a day without getting into a guild-wide bar brawl with each other, but loyal to the point that we will always be there for each other. No matter what."
But before anyone could continue further, for even Pegasus was intrigued some, Ruby suddenly came back, shouting "Abby! They've gone KISS!"
Hearing that, Abigail quickly glanced at Kaiba, who merely nodded, before activating another card.
[I Was Made For Lovin' You – Scooby Doo and Kiss: Rock and Roll Mystery (pretty much, switch Kaiba, Abigail, and RB for KISS, Jaden, Syrus, and Fairy Tail for Fred, Velma, and Daphne, Bell for Shaggy and Scooby, and WY for The Crimson Witch)]
Next thing anyone really knew, a guitar that looked similar to an axe appeared in Kaiba's hands. He surprised everyone except Abigail when he started playing quite well. Ruby pulled the object off her back and turned it into another guitar with a small flash, while another guitar and a set of drums appeared by Abigail and Blake, respectively. Things got even more surprising for people when a star-shaped portal appeared by a wall as Abigail opened her mouth and launched out a shockwave of sound, pushing Lucy, Jaden, Syrus, and the pseudo-Spirits back a few feet. As she began some vocalizing, the jaws of all watching dropped drastically as the entire floor, not just the arena, rose up into the air, shaped itself into another guitar, and then rocketed into the portal.
Lucy most certainly didn't expect, however, that upon coming out on the other side of the portal, she and the rest of Fairy tail returned to there original bodies. However, they were no where near Earthland, and had no time to even ponder where they were. Especially when Natsu pointed and cried out "There they are!" after noticing a laughing Bell hanging by her legs on a rope while being chased by Weiss and Yang on another circle that they knew wasn't a magical one.
"Look, guys! No hands!" Bell shouted to no one in particular. However, she did start looking a bit light-headed and sickly.
"Let's go, Happy!" Natsu declared, running forward, followed closely by Erza, Gajeel, and Wendy.
"Aye, sir!" said Happy, he and the other two Exceeds picking up their respective Dragon Slayers while Erza intoned "Requip!" replacing her Heart Kruez outfit with her Black Wing Armor to join them. "Max Speed!"
Quickly gaining on the two girls, Natsu lit his hands right before he swung once he got close enough. "Fire Dragon's Iron Fist!" However, Weiss noticed in time and moved their transport to dodge, only to dodge again when Erza came up with a "Moon Flash!"
"We need to get Bell before she falls!" Wendy said.
"On it!" Carla answered, flying past the others, now joined by Gajeel with "Iron Dragon's Club!" Unfortunately, Bell dropped just as they were getting close, landing on a metallic platform and rolling away from them. She eventually landed in a heap inside what looked like a flying magic car, but closer inspection revealed no SP Plug, getting Wendy to try moving the controls out of some desperation. Neither she or Carla expected the vehicle to actually move without magic, but they could think about it for long. They had to get back to the others.
Unfortunately, they couldn't quite figure out how the controls worked. The two screamed, trying to control the machine and failing, getting the attention of the fighters.
"Wendy, Carla!" Erza cried. "Just hang on!" The armor woman flew to them, only to have a stray blast destroy the vehicle and send the three up some. Thankfully, for them, Erza sent off her blade and caught all three. With them in hand, she turned around to head back to the main group, alerting the others that she got them just as another portal leading back to Duel Academy opened up a little ways ahead.
As Yang and Weiss, Natsu and Happy, and Gajeel and PantherLily landed back with the group, Abigail finished singing in the voice of KISS' main singer and they flew through the new portal, returning the duel arena to what it was before the song started. Although it did force Fairy Tail as well as Team RWBY back into their respective cards.
"...Wow." Lucy said after a bit.
"Indeed." Pegasus said, stunned. "I knew about you more than just about anyone else here, and I still was surprised by the power of magic. But I think we should probably do something about Bella-girl real quick."
No confusion came up when they immediately heard a groan come from the downed girl, only it sounded a lot like Bella instead of Bell.
"What the hell?" she said, picking herself up as she rubbed her head. "What the fuck did I do?"
"You spent some time as Soul-Bell, Bella-girl, and somehow got drunk from broccoli." Pegasus told her.
"Wha-" Bella was cut off as she suddenly felt a lurch in her stomach. Then a few more. Quickly running to a nearby trashcan, she didn't need to show the others what was wrong when they heard her retching while bent over it, understanding.
Once she calmed down, she asked "Would somebody mind explaining just what the fuck happened after I passed out in that cage? And please start with why Mighto Baka is hearing with a teen girl as a bodyguard instead of his usual ass-suits."
Of course, Crowler, being a sycophant to people like Kaiba, exclaimed "His name is NOT Mighto Baka! IT'S SETO KAIBA! S-E-T-O, SPACE, K-A-I-B-A!"
"WELL F-U-C-K, SPACE, Y-O-U, creepazoid, now beat it! The adults are trying to talk." answered Bella, not wanting to deal with the man at that time.
Seto and Abigail stepped forward. "Might as well allow Abigail here to explain things regarding us. Whatever she doesn't know, Mr. Yuki and Truesdale can explain instead. As for me," He then walked over to Crowler and the Chancellor. "We need to have a private chat."
"Ruby Rose" (4/Wind/2200/500) "Weiss Schnee" (4/Water/1700/1500) "Blake Belladonna" (4/Dark/1800/1550) and "Yang Xiao Long" (4/Fire/1500/2100) are pretty well self explanatory for the characters. As for their special effects:
Ruby – If this card destroys an opponent's monster, it can attack again.
Weiss – Once per turn, roll a die:
1-2: Increase a monster's Atk/Def by 500.
3-4: Change the attribute of this monster.
5-6: Select a monster on your side of the field. It can attack twice.
Blake – Once per turn, if attacked, negate the attack and deal half of this card's Atk to the opponent.
Yang – Each time this card is attacked, increase Atk by 200 and decrease Def by 200.
I know Bella's actions during the duel may seem rather out of character for her, but that is the point. Broccoli is basically her super-drug/alcohol, turning her into something similar to a Looney Tune in comparison to a Marvel or DC character.
For anyone wondering about the little bit at the end, check Death Battle's episode 'Ragna VS Sol Badguy,' in the section analyzing Sol Badguy. Whiz and Boomstick get into a bit of an argument about the name of Sol's Arch-Enemy, which is 'That Man,' and go through something very similar.
As a side note, I highly recommend watching Death Battle. Not much blood and gore, just a simple full out fight to the finish between two different characters. Some examples of match-ups are 'Samus Aran VS Boba Fett,' 'Goku VS Superman,' and 'Mario VS Sonic.' At the very least, you'll be definitely surprised with how much knowledge of the characters weapons, armor, and skills that show up.
Please let me know what you think. But try and keep questions about updates to a minimum, please? I'm trying to do a form of rotation with all my stories, so I won't be quite able to do updates all that often.
