(A/N: I own nothing and read last chapter)
It was discreetly decided that Syrus would be her partner after he beat Chumley in a small duel.
The reason why the two were in an expulsion duel was quickly spread throughout the school. How they had gone into the Abandoned Dorm to save a female student (who was left unnamed for obvious reasons) that had been taken hostage by a Dueling Mercenary. And they had video proof of their claims. Jaden had recorded everything on his duel disk which had an automatic recording function that showed without a doubt that he had dueled Titan while a female was shown to be in the background tied up in a coffin like contraption. The bad lighting of the dorm and the contraption she was in hid the females identity but the obelisk uniform, and the very visible skirt of the uniform, proved that it was most certainly a female in his clutches.
All of the students, even the Obelisk males that didn't like Jaden or Syrus, were on their side for this. More than a few of the Obelisk tried to find out who the opponents were so that they could pay off the enemies to throw the match.
Quite a few of the students were on the phone with their parents to tell them about this huge travesty and miscarriage of justice which spread the outrage far reaching and had the teachers and board of education getting quite a few complaints. A few parents were even bringing it up to Kaiba himself and it definitely caught his attention.
Even more were outright cussing at and insulting the teachers responsible and the security squad for their actions, especially the girls in blue who were quite fond of Jaden and more than ready to leap to her defense after she had saved one of their own.
The Ra's were also greatly offended by the teachers actions and more than a few of them had began to boycott the classes of the teachers that were carrying out this breach of justice, an action that gained momentum throughout the rest of the dorms and had the unofficial approval of the chancellor and the outright support of Nurse Fontaine and even Dr. Crowler was on their side for this.
The fact that Dr. Crowler was openly on Jaden and Syrus's side for this just spoke volumes of how horrible the other teachers were acting towards the two to the rest of the school.
The Slifers had more than once egged or thrown other fruits and things at a teachers office when the cameras were mysteriously offline. And they had immediately jumped on the boycotting wagon while also saying it was about time they had a good excuse to stay away from the toxic teachers. And more than a few Obelisk and Ra students were willing to provide alibis for the vandals.
Quite a few students in the other two dorms who had never been in Slifer were shocked and horrified when the Slifers went through the different things that the teachers did different for the students in red, including extra homework and several quizzes and homeworks that are marked wrong on their papers that were marked right on a Ra or Obelisk students papers. Even Jaden with her 'Orange' status of being between dorms was still treated as if she were a Slifer just because she liked the red blazer more than the yellow or orange ones.
It was their hatred for Jaden and all those in red that had led to this whole situation after all.
There was an even larger outcry over that injustice from the families and the backlash of it definitely had Kaiba taking more notice in his school and how it was working. As if he hadn't already because of what had happened so far just to his niece and the friends she had made.
Sheppard was likewise pissed about all of this and was more than happy to keep Kaiba's surprise inspection a secret as he snuck into the school during the Tag Duel to see just how badly the corruption went after Hikari had given him a list of names and all the complaints filed by some big name families from both the Ra and Obelisk dorms that meant the teachers in question weren't going to be able to sweep it under the rug or claim the parent was just upset over their kids horrible grades.
"So you're our opponents?" Jaden asked coldly as she stared down the Paradox Brothers who were doing flips and talking in sync as well as finishing each others sentences.
Jaden made no visible acknowledgment on the fact that her family had been notified of her 'Expulsion Duel' and had come to watch although they were in a private booth to keep people from knowing about her relation to the Dueling Royal Couple.
There was already enough of a murmur going around when people noticed Pegasus sitting in the stands openly to watch everything going on.
"That is correct. If you wish to pass-"
"Then you must-"
"Beat your ass?" Jaden cut them off with a raised eyebrow as she went ahead and started her duel disk while picking one of her decks that had a two golden symbols on it.
"Language young lady." Pegasus said, since he was the only one of her family who could at the moment, but he seemed amused and was snickering at her words much like Syrus was.
"Japa-english!" Jaden said with a cheeky grin towards one of her godfathers who openly laughed at that.
"Besides considering that these guys are here to punish me and Syrus for rescuing a female classmate who had been kidnapped by a dueling mercenary that was after me…I think I have the right to be pissed." Jaden said and even the Paradox brothers were staring at her now.
"Wait…"
"What?" The brothers asked staring at her.
"Jaden, Chumley, and I were told about the Forbidden Dorm and went to it to see it for ourselves and we had a teacher with us. We didn't enter the boundary though after we met up with a classmate who had lost a sibling there and was laying a rose. We started to leave out of respect when we heard our classmate scream and ran back to find her gone with one of her prized cards on the ground. We ran inside the Abandoned Dorm, after Jaden had called the Chancellor to inform him of the situation and got his permission to go forth to save her mind you, and saw our classmate in a coffin like trap bound and gagged by the Dueling Mercenary Titan. Jaden dueled him and distracted him while Nurse Fontaine managed to get around and free our classmate." Syrus gleefully explained to the stunned twins who were staring at them in disbelief and horror.
"But apparently someone, likely whoever hired Titan, really doesn't like me or those wearing Red in general so they cooked up this whole mess because of us trespassing despite the fact that we had a teacher with us and permission from the Chancellor, as well as the fact that I have an All Access pass to the Island which does include the Abandoned Dorm." Jaden said all too cheerfully and felt the spike of killing intent and shadow magic come from the box her family was in.
"…So we were hired to Duel you in an Expulsion Duel on a charge of trespassing despite your very good reason?" Para asked staring at the two students in red.
"Yep!" Jaden made sure to pop the P in that and her eyes were firmly golden as they locked onto her targets.
"Then why are you so unconcerned or downright happy to duel us?" Dox asked staring warily at the two students.
"I'm dueling with who is known to be the best duelist in Slifer that regularly humiliates Obelisk students who spent years at Duel Prep schools and teachers who have been dueling for years if not decades." Syrus said shrugging but smiling cheerfully as he pointed out that little fact which caused a roar of cheers from the Slifers in the stands.
"And you?" Para asked eyeing Jaden warily and she just smiled brightly at them.
"Two words boys! Misplaced Aggression." Jaden chirped at them and the two of them stared at her for a half minute before paling rapidly.
"Brother…why does this duelist remind me of the time we challenged Tomb Queen Ishizu?" Para asked his brother hesitantly as they used the official title for Ishizu Muto. Who was now well known to be the oldest child of the leading clan of Tomb Keepers in Egypt and therefore the rightful leader of the clan although given her gender her position as leader had been passed to her younger brother Marik. But her deck, her past as a Tomb Keeper, and her status as Duel Queen had led to her having the title of Tomb Queen Ishizu if she wasn't just being called the Duel Queen.
"Ah so it's not just me. This will not end well will it brother?" Dox asked looking a bit wary of the boy with golden eyes who grinned at him.
"Oh I guarantee you that it won't end well for you two." Jaden said savagely while Syrus gave the two of them a sympathetic smile.
"Sorry guys but you're on the wrong side of Slifer Royalty and Jaden hasn't had any chocolate today. I'm just along for the ride." Syrus apologized and all of the females in the stadium winced at that, knowing what he meant by her not having chocolate yet today.
"Thank you for being my misplaced aggression!" Jaden chirped as the duelists took their places and drew their opening hands.
This was definitely going to be a slaughter.
