Zero: Chapter two. I don't own Yu-Gi-Oh GX.
EDIT(from 11/13/05): I modded the duel a bit so it makes more sense.
Chapter 2
Quick Duel
"Oh, I see." Asuka nodded, as the pair went down the streets of the city, "Well, you know it's your fault though."
"Yeah, I know." He sighed, "So…is this where you live, Asuka?"
"No, not here. I'm still going to have to ride on a train to get to my neighborhood."
"I see…well, I'm gonna have to call my parents to come pick me up. I wasn't planning on going home, but it seems like I don't really have a choice now."
"Where do you live, Judai?"
"Uh…in…" he gave his answer.
Asuka stopped, then turned to him, giving a smile that looked like she was sorry, "Um…that's about a couple thousand miles away. You're going to have to ride on a plane to get there."
He fell, anime style, then got back up in a rush, "My parents won't order a plane ride just for me!" He then shook it off, "Okay! I'm just going to have to get a job, an apartment, and live there for the rest of the month! Yeah! If needed, I might even duel people for money!" Of course, he was just kidding with that last phrase.
"Or…you could just live with…me…" Asuka replied, slightly blushing.
"Hey! That's a great idea! Are you sure you're parents will let me, though?" Judai smiled bright and hopeful.
"I'm sure they will, since you save my brother and all." She replied, still blushing.
"Yes! Asuka! You're a lifesaver! I owe ya one!" He gave his winning pose towards her.
"Uh…yeah…it's no problem at all." She looked away, getting her posture back. She then turned back, "Well, let's go to the station. It's just this way."
"Okay. Lead the way, Asuka." Judai said with a grin.
Asuka obviously had a crush on the Osiris boy ever since he joined and showed his dueling skills. She started liking him even more as she realized that he had a caring and compassionate side. A hero, as one could say, just like his cards. But recently, since Judai began to arise to the level of 'kickass', and one might say, Asuka started fearing that some other girl might get him before she could express her feelings.
Judai, on the other hand, obviously had a crush on his cards, and really nothing else. As caring as he was, he was probably oblivious of the love between humans, and was more concerned about how to make his E-Hero deck more powerful than how it is already. Plus, since the time that he received Winged Kuriboh from the King of Games himself, Judai was even more psyched about dueling, and being the second King of Games.
After using their train cards, they got on the train, as Judai was in awe at how many people had duel disks on their arms. It was also pretty cramped. After a small bump from either the track or a turn, the train jumped. Judai still had a tight grip on the handle overhead, but Asuka lost her balance from both her own footing and a push, and fell onto Judai.
"Asuka, you okay? If you can't keep sturdy, you can always use me as something to grab on to." He ended with a grin. Or course, not a perverted grin, just your average friendly one.
"O…okay…" She was so hot from blushing that the whole train felt like a furnace as she took both her arms and latched onto Judai's free arm. She eventually got comfortable with her position as her blushing subsided, and decided to lie her head down on Judai's shoulder.
Judai gave a small blush himself, as he felt Asuka's breasts pressing against his arm, but shook it off, as he took a quick glance at the peaceful Asuka, then looked back out at the scenery. Sure, he was oblivious of love, but that doesn't mean he didn't know what parts of a female were embarrassing to touch.
The two eventually got off the train, both acting normally and dragging their luggage, "So, where's you're place?"
"It's right around the corner." She walked past an alleyway, and screamed as she was taken into the shadows.
"Why is it always a dark alley?" Judai asked no one, as he made haste towards the space with both of their suitcases.
A cloaked man stood there, holding Asuka firmly, but gently, "If you want your girlfriend back, you must beat me in a duel!"
Judai's face turned to a smirk, "Duel, huh? Sounds fun. Let's go!" He placed his deck into the duel disk, making it go into the dueling mode.
The cloaked man let go of Asuka, but threatened her if she went back to Judai, as he pulled out an old fashion duel disk, except it was colored red and black instead of the normal blue and white, "I'll make the first move by summoning the monster, Blindly Loyal Goblin!" an ugly monster that looked like an old man holding a sheathed sword with an attack power of 1800 appeared on the field, "I then place two cards face down on the field. It's your move."
"Alright!" Judai drew his new card, "Awesome! I use the card Polymerization to fuse my Elemental Hero Featherman and Elemental Hero Burstlady to summon my Elemental Hero Flame Wingman!" The blue and red monster appeared on the field after a little effect, "Now Wingman! Attack and destroy his goblin!"
"Heh." The stranger chuckled, as he pressed a button on his duel disk, "I activate the trap card, Blast with Chain!" A trap arose from his spell/trap field, "This card becomes an equip spell card when I use it, as it increases my goblin's attack power by 500, making a total of 2300, more than what your Wingman can offer."
"No way!" Judai shouted, as he witnessed his Wingman getting sent to the graveyard, as well as his life points going down to 3800, "I'll throw down a face down, and end my turn! Get your game on!"
The man drew, "This duel is over! I activate the magic card, Monster Reborn, which allows me to call back a monster from the graveyard, and I wish to bring back your Elemental Hero Wingman! Next, I will sacrifice Wingman for this powerful card!" He discarded the Wingman to the graveyard, as the sky blackened, and thunder struck down, revealing a large monster in bone-looking armor, "I have summoned the Great Maju Garzett!"
"Whoa! What the hell does that thing do!" Judai was obviously surprised.
"Wait, Great Maju Garzett?" Asuka's fear then became a smile, "Oh…it's him…"
"My Great Maju Garzett uses the attack power of the sacrificed monster and doubles it, meaning that your 2100 Wingman was used to summon my current 4200 attack power monster!" the man pointed forward with his free hand, "Now! Great Maju Garzett! Attack!" The large monster roared, then began its attack.
Judai smirked, "Sorry, but you just activated my trap card! It's called Mirror Force!" Judai pressed a button on his duel disk, revealing the powerful trap card.
"Boy, do you know about spell speeds?"
"Um…nope. What's that?"
"Spell speeds determine what cards can counter others. The card you just activated is a normal trap, which is a spell speed 2 card, meaning that it can be countered with a quick-play spell card, or any trap card, as well as a spell speed 3 trap card, and I will choose the last one!" He pressed a button, revealing his own trap, "I activate Trap Jammer, which is a spell speed 3 trap card!" Seems like when this guy duels, he really likes giving lessons at the same time, "With this, your trap is destroyed!"
"What! No way!" Judai freaked out as his 3800 life points went right down to 0, while the man still had all of his. He dropped down to his knees, "Asuka…I'm sorry…"
"I'll be taking the girl now. You're welcome to come if you'd like, kid."
Judai blinked, "Huh?" he looked up curiously.
The man took of his hood, revealing a cheerful face with short blonde hair. He looked like he was in his 30s, "Hey there! I was planning on meeting Asuka here, but I'd never expect to see her boyfriend come along too!"
"Huh?" More confusion.
Asuka walked forward, extending a hand out to Judai, "There's nothing to worry about. Come on!" Judai grasped her hand, as she helped him up.
"Well, you lovebirds coming or what? My sister's been eager to meet with you again, Asuka." The man asked.
"Who…is that?" Judai, still in shock, pointed at the man.
"Ah. Sorry for the scare. He's my Uncle Takuya."
Judai's jaw dropped, "What! Uncle!"
"But Uncle, you took it too far this time!" Asuka pointed her finger right in her uncle's face, "First you scare my friends so bad that they cried home wetting themselves, now you scare another one of my friends making him think that you're going to do something bad with me!"
Takuya backed up a bit, "Okay, I get it Asuka!" He looked over to Judai, "You okay, kid? Didn't mean to scare you."
Just like the old Judai, he got back to normal extremely quickly, "No problem! That was some awesome dueling, old man!" he did his winning pose again, "You got game!"
"It's no surprise." Asuka replied for her uncle, "Uncle has been dueling since the game came out, which is even before the two of us were born."
"Whoa! That's awesome! You gotta teach me a thing or two next time! And that Great Maju whatever card was totally cool!"
"Heh, it's quite weird on how I got it. I lost my old deck, so my friend gave me that card, feeling sorry for me."
"Once he played that card, I knew that it was my uncle. If there was a dorm at school which was even higher than obelisk blue, that's where my uncle would probably be. He was the one who taught me all the basics of playing the game."
Takuya stroked his chin, "Hmm…you have an aura around you, boy." He grinned, "I'm sure your monsters trust you a lot! That's for sure!"
Judai grinned back, "Same with you, old man!"
