Hello, again.
Plain and simply, Jinzo going to regret coming around during Christmas. Especially while Bella's there as well. He should stick to Halloween, or better yet, Arkham Asylum. Certainly looks like someone that should be in a place like that.
I don't own Yugioh GX or Fairy Tail.
Christmas and Halloween should stay separate!
Bella sighed as she looked out at the winter evening. Christmas again. Wonder how bad things will be this time?
While there has been one occasion when her holidays have been good, usually something comes along that interrupts it and gets on her nerves, leaving her with a somewhat depressive feeling when Christmas is either brought up in conversation or comes around on the calendar. Even Fairy Tail was saddened by this, and knew about as much as Bella did about the holiday.
"Isabella?" Banner said, cutting into her thoughts, "Everything alright?"
Turning, Bella saw one of the last few people that decided to stay on the island, instead of going home to be with their families.
"Banner." she acknowledged before sighing a bit, "Just don't get the deal with Christmas, but then again, my past experience didn't exactly leave a good taste in my mouth. Fucking bastards."
Banner was silent as she spoke. When she was finished, he asked, "I don't suppose you'd be willing to go into detail, would you? Even then, more likely than not, you were mostly alone in the past. Excluding Fairy Tail, of course."
Bella nodded, knowing that to be pretty much true. Even with Pegasus, the Fairies couldn't exactly do much as cards and spirits.
The man gestured to the other students that were with them at that time, being Jaden, Syrus, and Chumley. "What about now? Your among friends, right? That's something that makes more than just Christmas better."
Bella looked at the three boys, and considered Banner's words. She had to admit, he did have a point with that, but that didn't stop the possibility of it becoming at least similar to the past.
Just then, another student, an Obelisk Blue, crashed through the front door and fell on the ground.
"Looks like we've found our interruption." Happy quipped.
"Freaking figures." Bella said, holding back as the others helped the boy up.
"Wait a minute. Torrey?" said Banner, recognizing the blue clad boy, "You're in my Para-Dueling Class."
The boy, now known as Torrey, nodded, as he began explaining his story. About how he and two others had decided to test the class themselves, attempting to summon a Duel Monster name Jinzo, and ended up with his friends disappearing after unintentionally selling their souls to him.
"And now I'm next!" cried Torrey, "There's no hope."
"Okay, first off, shut the fuck up you idiot." said Bella, "Secondly, that would be true if I wasn't who I am."
"Not to mention he picked a swell time to try and be free." PantherLily said, "I one time saw a picture of this Jinzo, and he looks like a Halloween reject."
"And what does a cat like you know?" a voice called out before the lights in the dorm went out.
"...Seriously? You're doing this schtick?" said Bella, getting really annoyed at what was going on. "Now you're just trying to piss me off."
"Like I care, after all," just then, Jinzo revealed himself, and he was carrying Torrey. "I got what I want. He won't escape me aga-"
He didn't finish as a bullet passed through his forehead.
"Make that 'You won't escape into this world again once I'm done with you!" proclaimed Bella before turning into her Ghoul form and charging forward. However, somehow, Jinzo dodged and escaped. "Well the hell did he go?!"
"To the power plant! He must be planning on using it in some way." Thankfully, while he did dodge Bella, his escape was still seen by the Exceeds.
"Let's go." Bella told the others, before moving towards said location.
Upon arrival, she found Torrey on the ground and Jinzo standing a bit ways away. The plant was working up a spark storm in his presence.
"Alright, asshole." said Bella, getting into a fighting stance. "The game is up. Either return the kid and his friends now, or this is going to get uglier than you in the mirror."
"Now why would I do that?" Jinzo retorted as he got ready himself. "It's not like you could do anything to begin with. Even with your strange transformation."
Bella grinned at those words. "I was hoping you would say something like that."
The two charged, but Jinzo couldn't really move much before Bella was upon him with a punch to his stomach, winding the spirit. Taking a step back, she grabbed his head and slammed in down on her knee, staggering him back as the others finally showed up.
"Get Torrey out of here, I'll hold them off!" called out Bella, trying to make it easier for her to deal with Jinzo. However, the duel spirit was able to drive her back some with a surprise electric attack while saying "I don't think so!"
"Rgh!" grunted Bella, feeling the attack. It was definitely one of the more powerful shocks she's felt in her life, but not quite as powerful as a few others. Recovering, she tackled Jinzo as he was about to move to the others. Pushing her off, Jinzo was about to get back up before she grabbed his legs and swung him around and away. "Go, now!"
Jaden was the first to listen, grabbing Torrey's unconscious body and running off, the others close behind. But not before Mavis called out, "Get him away from the electricity! He's using it to keep himself grounded!"
"Now it's just you and me, bastard." said Bella. "Let's see just how long it takes for you to realize that you done fucked up."
Charging, she shoulder-tackled Jinzo into the forest and away from the plant, calming the sparks down due to lack of Jinzo's physical presence. He staggered back in anger and fear at this supposed human defeating him in battle so easily.
"What are you?" he demanded, holding his side as he stood, "No mere human can do what you can!"
"I never said I was human, dumbass." replied Bella, moving forward and powering down for her next move, "And you should've stayed in the Halloween section."
"SOUL-LOCK, TRANSFORM!"
This time, her change was similar to her Electrode form, but to the point that she practically was lightning. Her hair in particular was pretty close to being literally lightning.
"SOUL-LOCK: BOLT!"
She didn't say anything after, just grabbed hold of Jinzo and started draining him of energy thanks to his electric affinity.
"Wh-what?" Jinzo asked, surprised at what was happening. When he realized what she was doing, he tried to struggle out of her grip. Unfortunately, he was already too drained to escape. "NO!"
"Sucks to be you, bitch." she said as the final stages appeared, forcing the spirit to dissipate. Dropping her hands, she let herself power down.
"Bella?" she turned to find Happy flying to her, "You alright?"
She nodded. "Yeah, Happy. Let's get back to the others."
Happy minutely sighed, seeing that Bella's still silently upset at what happened, and wished that this hadn't happened. He hoped that the others could do something about that.
"So, he's gone." said Banner after Bella and Happy came back to the dorm. This was a statement, seeing as Torrey was resting near two more boys clad in blue.
Bella nodded, not saying anything. She just stuck to being slumped on a chair, drained from the encounter.
"And another Christmas ruined, too." said Happy despondently, with similar expressions on Carla, Lily, and Mavis.
"Not necessarily, Happy." said Jaden. At their curious stares, he elaborated by asking Bella to lean forward. When she reluctantly did so, he surprised her with a hug and the words, "For what its worth, Merry Christmas."
Bella was stunned by the sudden gesture and comment. So much so, that she didn't notice a tear actually falling from her uncovered eye in response. This was the first time, even including Pegasus, that someone actually came up to her, hugged her, and said Merry Christmas.
"But what about Jinzo?" she asked after a few moments.
"Let's put it this way, Bella." Jaden answered as he pulled back to look at her in the eye, "This time, you saved Christmas. I figured you could use a proper thank you."
That started the tears flowing from Bella and the Fairies that witnessed it, and saw just what Banner was talking about earlier.
It didn't quite matter how Christmas went, just so long as you knew that you were around friends and family who felt similar to you.
For the record, it is kind of similar to Danny Phantom's Christmas episode, but instead of getting angry at Christmas because of his parents, Bella's depressed because she wants to experience Christmas, but things just keep on getting in the way. Now she's getting a chance to actually feel a proper Christmas. Although it'll still be a while before she can have one without ANY trouble getting the way.
And in regards to the idea of 'Ace Fusion:' it's a good idea, but for me, it's not quite something that should show up yet. Haven't quite got to the point that they would need something like fusing with a Duel Monster just yet, since they're still in the simple duel phase.
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.
