Hello, again.
Anyone who's seen the series should know what comes next. However, this is primarily going to be a non-duel chapter, leaving Jaden to deal with the actual monkey. Bella will go after the guys who caused the mess with the monkey.
I don't own Yugioh GX or Fairy Tail.
Monkeys in a Barrel
"You really should pay more attention, Bella." Mavis said, getting said girl's attention.
The pair were once again in Crowler's class, and while Bella hasn't quite done anything for a bit of a while to actively interrupt him, she still has yet to actually pay him proper attention as her teacher.
"He may be somewhat better than before," Bella replied, "but he hasn't earned my respect yet. In the meantime, I'll just stick to the net."
She lightly indicated her left eye to get her point across, getting a sigh from Mavis. Bella was still stubborn as Natsu at times, but they were slowly making progress. They just wished that it would at least a bit faster than currently.
Thankfully for the pair, it wasn't long before the class had ended, but it was also then that they noticed a worried Syrus speaking with Jaden.
"...Chazz is gone!" they heard from Syrus once they were close enough.
"Hey, shrimp." she said, cutting in, "The brat took the cowards way out and left with his tail between his legs early this morning, like the little bitch he is."
Jaden then added a few words of his own. "Not to mention that sooner or later, we'll most likely meet him again. Considering his actions in his last duel against Bastion, he isn't exactly the type that would just let a blow to his pride destroy him. He's going to want to even the score."
Bella and Mavis knew the truth behind that on a more personal level than most. Bella was forced to suffer from one who had an even worse case than Chazz, while Mavis and Fairy Tail had to deal with both Phantom Lord and Grimoire Heart, who both had a 'score to settle' with Fairy Tail.
"Bella!" Happy called out suddenly, catching them off guard with his urgent tone.
"Happy?" asked Bella, "Calm down, okay? What's up?"
"Jasmine's been taken by a monkey that had a duel disk on it! And not too long after, some men that shouldn't be here chased after them." he cried out.
"Which way?" Bella demanded, before she headed off after Happy, Jaden and Syrus trying their best to follow.
Bella and Happy quickly found them on the edge of a cliff, Jasmine and the monkey on a tree poking out from the side at the top. Alexis and Mindy were standing not too far off from a few guys in government style business suits, but what got Bella's supreme ire was the gun, the stuff on the monkey, and the fact that one of the men said "Not safe. Subject's the only thing keeping the girl from falling."
"You wouldn't mean 'subject' as in 'test subject,' would you?" Bella asked, gritting her teeth in restrained anger.
While Alexis and Mindy showed relief at her arrival, and the later arrived Jaden and Syrus, but the men showed fear for the most part. The pretty obvious leader didn't.
"And what is a schoolgirl going to do about it?" he responded.
Bella's eyes narrowed. "Wrong answer. Jaden, deal with the monkey. They're mine. SOUL-LOCK, TRANSFORM!"
"Soul-Lock: Electrode."
This time, nothing much really changed except that now her body was dancing with sparks and had a somewhat metallic shine to it.
With that, the lead suit realized just what they were dealing with now as all three started backing off.
"Oh no you don't." With those words, Bella moved, catching the group as they tried to run. Knocking the leader to the ground, she then grabbed hold of his followers heads and knocked them together, knocking them out via electroshock once they connected. She then turned her attention to the one she knocked down, who was trying to crawl away before she got him. Suffice it to say, that didn't work after she stomped forward, roughly picked him up, and told him "Let's see how well you can 'experiment' on another life form while you're playing 'prison bitch.'" and knocked him out as well.
Whipping out her cellphone, she called Pegasus. "Got a couple of people here on the island who apparently thought it was a good idea to experiment with Duel Monsters on a life form, let alone a monkey."
"I'll be sure to let Kaiba-boy know. Considering your tone, they were probably attempting to weaponize Duel Monsters or something, which is illegal. Half and hour tops. See you soon." said Pegasus, rendered dead serious from her words. If it was to help the game, then there were limits to what exactly could be done, but if your secretly using animals for live testing, then it's already gone past those limits and into illegal territory. Better to deal with it themselves instead of someone else.
"I'll drop them off at campus, then go shut them down for good." Bella finished, before hanging up and turning to the others, who were also close to finishing up themselves. Makes rather unique sense that the monkey would duel with monkeys.
Quickly getting Jasmine out of danger, Bella told her just where she was going, before dragging away the three men to face the consequences for their actions. Although she did end up having to do it one at a time, tying them up by the entrance. She found Banner waiting as she dropped the last one off.
"May I ask just what's going on, Isabella?" the man asked with a raised eyebrow.
"Using a monkey to weaponize Duel Monsters. Assholes ended up risking Jasmine's neck in its escape. Jaden and the others are dealing with the monkey." explained Bella, adding a kick to emphasize her mood about it, "I'm off to deal with whatever building they've been doing it in, because they certainly couldn't have caused something like this with being on the damn island. Pegasus and Kaiba should be here for pick up within half an hour."
Banner's expression hardened at those words. "I see. I'll be sure to keep an eye on them for the time being, as well as help vouch for the others. Try to make it quick, though."
Thankfully, it only took about ten minutes to actually find the location. Surprising to Bella, whatever others that were there had already left, so she just stuck to wrecking the place so that it couldn't be used again.
Getting back, she found Pegasus, Kaiba, Banner, and the others talking a bit as some men took the three she captured away.
"Place is down, but whoever else was there seems to be long gone." she told them, getting some understanding nods. "So I just took to wrecking the place for good."
"Fair enough." Kaiba said, "We'll see what we can do in finding them."
"In the meantime, you and the the others need to get back into class," said Banner, getting the teens attention. "Thankfully for you, though, all that's really required from this is just really a paragraph from each of you. At the very least, it'll be a good lesson in why weaponizing Duel Monsters is illegal. And before you groan, I plan on having your classmates do a full essay on this impromptu lesson for homework. My class is next for you, after all."
That placated the group, and could understand his reasoning. They already had a hands-on lesson on it, so Banner just decided on using it as his lesson for their next class, but since they were the only ones that were involved, they didn't need to do as much. They already had much more than their classmates would be able to get, so Banner's lecture would be more of a simple rehash for them.
Bella could already here the groans from the others once they found out, and the laughs from the Fairies at that.
Oh wait, that's Happy and Mavis laughing I'm hearing.
Sorry if it's relatively short, but let's be honest, this in canon was more filler than anything, so what would really be the point in making it big?
While she does have other electric based forms, Electrode is more similar to a super-charged defibrillator and jumper cables combined, focusing on giving her physical an electric affinity instead of actual lightning manipulation.
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.
