Chapter 12: Birds on the Brain

"Well Mr. Endo, what do you have to say for yourself?" Mr. Murakimi asked as Ronin took his seat in history class.

"Sorry sir." he said ignoring the rest of the class's laughter.

"Would you like to explain where you were?" Mr. Murakimi asked walking to the middle of the room.

"I was," Ronin looked around, "Dueling a psycho guy by the trash can." He said bowing his head.

"Dueling a psycho guy huh?" Mr. Murakimi turned and walked back to his desk. "And this psycho guy, what was he planning on doing?"

"Stealing...people's soul." Ronin never lifted his head. "This is a crazy story that no one will believe."

"Right, well you can write down for me exactly card for card how this duel went tonight in detention." Mr. Murikimi went back to teaching his class.


A blacked robed man stepped across the street from the school. He smiled as he approached the doors. Opening them, forcefully, he walked down the hallway. When he came to an open window that had a sign above it that read 'office' he stopped.

"Can I help you sir?" The woman in the front office asked the man. He just smiled but didn't say anything. "Sir?" She asked but the man just kind of crawled through the window.


The intercom crackled interrupting all the classes. Everyone in every room looked at the speakers mounted in the wall of each room.

"Attention student's, teacher, crystal robbing bastards. Come out and face me in the main student lobby right now."

Both Ronin and Reku jumped up and started to move towards the door but before they got there they were dragged to a halt. Looking back they saw Mr. Murikimi's arms a hold of each of their collars. He shook his head 'no'.

Akina, at that time was in the library which was located the closest to the front office. Out of her backpack she grabbed her duel disk and ran through the door of the library. She ran down the hallway towards the main lobby. On her way, she grabbed Sachiko as she stuck her head out of the girls bathroom. She literally dragged her to the lobby.

"About time someone got here. I though I was going to have to kill this girl." The robed man Akina recognized as Eagle commented. He had his arm around the woman's throat. "So prepare to duel for that crystal card you own."

"The Amethyst Crystal shall never fall into your hands." Akina barked as strapping on her duel disk.The duel disk then hummed and activated.

Blinking completely confused, Sachiko looked from Akina and back to 'Eagle' who's duel disk activated. He let go of the woman who quickly ran to the side.

"I will be going first so prepare yourself girl for the duel." He said as he pulled six cards off his deck. Akina pulled five off hers.

Eagle-4000 LP

The shadow medallion around Eagle's neck started to glow as shadows slowly covered the field. Sachiko moved closer to Akina so she could be caught in the shadow realm with her friend.


Chaos walked into his chamber and looked around. He saw Black Lizard and Puppetmaster still hard at work scrubbing his floor.

"Servants!" He boomed. Instantly the two of them dropped the toothbrushes and ran to Chaos.

"Yes sir." Came their unison response.

"I sense shadow magic. Our shadow magic. Where is Eagle?" He asked the two bowing servants.

"Eagle went to the bathroom sir." Black Lizard responded.

"Wasn't that like an hour ago?" Puppetmaster asked his companion.

"Well." Black Lizard though about it for a second. "He must really have to take a dump." A childish grin spread across Black Lizard's face.

Double unison cracking sounds could be heard as both Puppetmaster and Chaos drove Black Lizard into the marble floor.

"Eagle must have snuk off to challenge those kids for their crystal cards. He figures that if he loses, his soul will be lost forever anyways and if he wins he will have a crystal card to offer me." Chaos turned and walked to his throne. "And get back to work!" Both Puppetmaster and Black Lizard jumped up and ran back to their toothbrushes.


"I summon to the field, Sacred Crane (1600/400) to the field in attack mode." A large white bird monster appeared on Eagle's field. It flapped its wings and made a squawking noise towards Akina. "My turn comes to an end."

"Whatever you say buddy." Her voice dripping with annoyance. She pulled the top card off her deck. "I place one monster face down and place two cards face down as well. My turn has ended." Akina motioned to Eagle as three brown backed cards appeared on her field.

Drawing his next card, Eagle place another card on his disk. "I summon Feathered Demon (700/600) in attack mode." A small blue creature appeared on the field. It looked like a demonic baby but it had a beak and wings instead of arms. It had talons for feet. "Next I set one card face down and end my turn."

"I draw!" Akina pulled the next card off her deck. "Why didn't he attack my card?" She looked at the two monsters that were sitting on Eagle's field. "I set one more monster and end my turn."

"Good." Drawing a card off his deck he placed it on his duel disk. "I summon Shadow Bird of Hell (1500/1300)." A dark blue and black striped bird appeared on the field. It's eyes were glowing red but it looked like any other bird in shape. "Next I play Polymerization to fuse Shadow Bird of Hell and Feathered Demon together to summon Killalot Hell Bird (2300/1600) in attack mode." A large monster appeared on appeared on the field. It had a black aura around it. Instead of feathers, this monster had two long blades on the side of its wings that would be feathers. It had sharp knives instead of tail feathers. Its body was black in color.

"Now I activate my trap!" Akina pointed to her face down card on the left. "Fruits of Kozaky's Studies! I get to look at the top three cards of my deck and rearrange them as I like." Pulling three cards off her deck, she rearranged them differently and slid them back into her deck.

"Phsss." Eagle spit out and pointed to one of her face down cards. "Go my Killalot Hell Bird attack that card!" Flying across the field the monster cut through the brown backed hologram.

"My face down monster was Man Eater Bug. I destroy you Killalot Hell Bird!"

"Not quiet activate Feather's of the Flocks. Now the lowest attack winged beast on my field must be sent to the graveyard before a higher attack can be sent. I say goodbye to Sacred Crane instead." Smiling, Eagle slide his Sacred Crane into his graveyard slot. "Now it is your turn."

Drawing, Akina didn't even look at it as she slid it into her duel disk. "I play Pot of Greed to draw two cards." She slid the next two cards off her deck and added them to his hand. "I set one monster and end my turn." Another brown backed card appeared on Akina's field.

"All right draw!" He snapped his fingers and the white crane monster, Sacred Crane, reappeared on his field. "Now I draw one more card." He grinned as he pulled another card off his deck.

"Explain yourself!" Sachiko yelled from the sideline at Eagle. "You just don't randomly summon and draw cards."

"Foolish girl. Killalot Hell Bird's special abillity says that if it is alone on the field I get to summon one Winged Beast type monster back from the grave. All but the fusion monsters used to make it. And Sacred Crane says that if it is special summoned I get to draw one card." Eagle smirked. "Go Sacred Crane attack her older monster! And Killalot Hell Bird destroy the newer one!"

Both birds flew across the field and stripped Akina of all of her defenses. Akina shielded herself from the flying duel debris that flew off the defense cards. Neither of the cards stood a chance again the birds

Akina snapped the next card off her deck and looked at it. She then set it face down on her field. "I set this monster in defense and end my turn."

"Goody." Eagle smirked again as he pulled the next card off his deck. "Destroy the downed card my Crane!" Flapping its wings, the white crane flew across the field and ran its beak through the downed card. A large metallic gray jar appeared on the field. The lid popped off and a large light red transparent hand popped out.

"Thanks, my Soul Stealer Jar (0/0) was flipped so I can remove your two monsters from the game at the cost of 400 life points a monster."

Eagle-4000 LP

The two birds were one by one pulled into the jar by the transparent hand. Then the jar itself blew apart in a loud explosion.

"Very good girly but I am not done yet." Eagle exclaimed as he shielded him from the dust. "This isn't even close to being over yet."

Tell me who thought the someone named Eagle would use anything other than birds. Oh and continue to review. Anybody that is just reading and not reviewing I encourage you to review.

To darksoulki: Well to be honest he isn't weak, Team Zero is stronger. And yes the character of Gurabe is based somewhat on Bakura but not intended to be just like him and that will become more relivent in later chapters.

To Goddess IANAW: Yes like I just said Gurabe was based on Bakura but not intended to be just like him. Oh and he didn't just lose to Team Zero he also lost to Yukio remember? Oh and sorry about that 'write' thing.

To John: Then he would be Bakura!

To Nanashi: Wow, are you going to start a Ronin fan club? You realize that you are the only one who didn't poke fun at Gurabe.
