Episode 6: The Dragoness
At Laeon's High-School...
"What the hell is this!" Laeon screamed while sitting at his wooden desk. He was at school the next day and as he said, the test they were scheduled for had to be made-up. Kazuma was sitting right next to Laeon looking rather satisfied with his test grade.
"How could I get a 7 on a test!" Laeon yelled ripping the paper up and biting it to relieve his aggravation. Everyone in the class laughed at Laeon's comment. "What did you get Kazuma!" Laeon asked just snatching the paper away.
"What the hell dude?" Kazuma questioned in an irritated voice. "A 97, how the hell did you get a 97! There is a mistake! The scanner miscalculated!" Laeon said throwing his desk over and kicking it while it was down.
"Miscalculated Laeon? That's a big word for you." Izumi, who sat in the front of Laeon's row, commented. "You have every excuse to say Laeon…" one of Izumi's friends said then giggled a bit.
Laeon unbuttoned the first two buttons on his white cotton shirt and sighed. He picked his desk back up and sat in his seat throwing Kazuma's paper to the floor. "This sucks, even Izumi got a better grade then I did…"
"What do you mean even Izumi!" she commented back and walked towards Laeon. "For your information I got a 100 on the test because I didn't go to sleep when I was supposed to be studying!"
"Oh yeah!" Laeon asked loudly jumping to his feet. "Yeah!" Izumi yelled back at Laeon's face. They locked gazes fueling their anger toward each other.
"Um…" Kazuma squeezed in-between the two raging infernos and pushed them back opposite ways. They still gazed upon each other angrily.
"Why don't you guys chill out today and take a little pink pill while you're at it…" Kazuma broke the dead silence once again to make Izumi and Laeon fall and laugh on the floor.
After the minutes of laughter, they became concerned. "Where did the teacher go?" Laeon asked finally saying what everyone was thinking. "I have no idea but it is getting really boring… We have no one to throw stuff at…" Kazuma answered unsurely.
They all sighed and put their heads down. Right as Laeon closed his eyes to sleep, the classroom door opened slowly revealing a beautiful young woman. She had on a violet suit, which made her look like a lawyer, black high-heels, and her light brown hair was wrapped around in a circular bun. She carried a black binder filled with notebooks and paper.
"Who the hell is she?" Izumi whispered to Kazuma and Laeon. Laeon picked his head up and watched the lady walk in. "I have no idea but damn she is hot…" Laeon answered literally drooling on his desk.
"Who are you?" Izumi asked the woman rudely as she sat at the teacher's desk. "I am you replacement teacher for the time being…" she answered smiling.
"But our teacher was here 15 minutes ago… Where is our teacher?" Izumi asked again. Once people would answer Izumi's questions, she won't stop until she knows every little thing there is to know about them.
"You sure do know the right questions to ask, Izumi is it?" the lady asked standing up walking over to her.
Laeon picked his head up and wondered, 'How did she know that?' "Stalker!" Izumi yelled and jumped out of her seat running to the corner.
"Silly girl…" the lady added in picking up a crumbled paper ball off of the floor. "Who are you!" Izumi asked repeatedly. "Here we go…" Kazuma whispered shaking his head.
"Well if you must know… I am Ms. Kaiba and I am replacing your fired teacher for today. Does that answer your questions?" Ms. Kaiba answered walking back to her desk.
"Our teacher is fired!" Izumi yelled asking yet another question. "Now that is one question I want to know…" Kazuma added standing up gathering his binder seeing they only had 5 minutes left of class.
"Yeah…" Laeon said gathering his things and headed for the desk. "Would you mind telling us what happened?" Kazuma asked politely.
"Stop asking her like you're a child Kazuma! What did you do to our teacher!" Laeon yelled slamming his hands on the desk.
"Why I did nothing and Laeon should be ashamed of yourself for talking to me and Kazuma like that." she commented slamming her hands on the desk as well.
"How do you know our names, are some kind of pervert or something!" Izumi and Laeon yelled at the same time. "I know all of your names because I went over a study of each of your records before I came and all of you fit those profiles. As for your teacher whereabouts, that is classified information and I am not allowed to release that information…"
"Wait…" Kazuma stammered silently stopping the arguing. "Ms. Kaiba? Aren't you the descendant of the famous Seto Kaiba from Japan? You are right?"
"I am found out…" Ms. Kaiba answered back standing up smiling. "You are a smart boy Kazuma… I am Aurora Kaiba, one of my most famous ancestors was Seto Kaiba the man that dug Kaiba-Corp from its grave and resurrected it."
"So why are you here?" Laeon asked hearing the dismissal bell but ignoring it completely. "Why aren't you in Japan at the World Championship?"
"My you have many questions… I am here for your brother Laeon, Leon… I am just here to see your skills and your brothers… so let's duel!" Aurora demanded waving her hand quickly throughout the air changing her attire completely in a split-second.
She was now wearing a long blue and white jacket with a tight black shirt and jeans underneath. Her hair was now free from the constricting rubber band that held her hair up. On her wrist was a gauntlet where a dragon's head stood out on its side. On the dragon head, the mouth opened revealing a long steel blade with five-sections signifying the monster card zone.
"Sorry Aurora, I have P.E. next period and coach will make me do mile lunges if I'm late so see yah…" Laeon turned away and opened the door exiting the room with Kazuma.

At the school basketball court...
Once Laeon and Kazuma arrived to the basketball gym, there Aurora was standing in the bleachers smiling. "I have made arrangement s with your coach, there is no backing off, so let's duel!"
"Uh… you don't give up do you?" Laeon asked, watching Aurora stare at him. "Apparently not…"
Laeon looked around and grabbed a duel-disc from the pile of them for the Duel Club in the school. "Let's go then!" Laeon reached in his pocket and slid his deck into the compartment. Aurora did the same. They both drew five cards and were ready to duel.
Laeon stayed on the wooden floor as he looked up upon Aurora standing in the stands. She smiled and pointed at Laeon. "Don't feel bad when you loose, this is only a test." She exclaimed and set her life points to 8000.
"Whatever lets just duel already!" Laeon yelled back setting his life points.
Laeon's LP: 8000
Aurora's LP: 8000
Aurora drew a card showing she was going first. "First turn and you are already dead…" Laeon was now worried. He had no idea what was in Aurora's deck but he knew, since she was a multi-billionaire, she wasn't lying.
"I summon the sacred Lord of Dragons (1200/1100) to the field in attack mode!" Aurora wasn't finished but Laeon could already tell that this was bad.
The bone armored caped spell caster known as the Lord of Dragons stumble upon the first few steps of the bleachers.
"Now I'm going to activate the spell card Flute of Summoning Dragon! This card can only be activated when I have a Lord of Dragons on the field. Seeing I have one, I get to special summon two dragons from my hand to the field! So behold, Come on out my two Blue-Eyes White Dragons (3000/2500)!"
A flute shaped as a golden dragon's head appeared in Lord of Dragons right hand. He then put his mouth in the hole and blew making a mournful noise emerging two giant blue dragons roaring and spewing lightning bolts from their mouths. These dragons were much mightier than Flare's Red-Eyes Black Dragon.
Laeon sweat in fear. These were some of the most powerful cards he has soon so far and it is only the first turn! "What's wrong Laeon? Quaking in fear of my mighty dragons! Well prepare to quake once more for I play Polymerization to fuse the Divine Dragon Ragnarok (1500/1000) in my hand and the Lord of Dragons on the field to summon King Dragun (2400/1200)!"
A giant snake-like dragon surrounded Lord of Dragons. They both glowed with an equal radiance of darkness and exploded creating something more sinister, the King Dragun! The snake dragon was beautiful to see, but hideous to look at. Its face seemed of golden bones and its demon wings seemed of death and blood.
The three powerful dragons all yelled with might and fury, further intimidating Laeon. If these dragons were to all direct attack Laeon, he would lose on the spot. Now Laeon would have to find a way to compete with Aurora's last move, but how?
Laeon drew his card and automatically played it. "Go Pot of Greed! This card allows me to draw 2 extra cards from my deck!"
The smiling green pot appeared on the field right in front of Laeon laughing away spitting out Laeon's next two card of his deck.
Laeon stood there for a short while and thought of what to do. After a few seconds he had finally thought of something. "First off I will set 2 face downs then I will activate the magic of Cost Down! This awesome card lets me reduce a monster's level in my hand by 2 as long as I discard 1 card from my hand, which I will do!"
Two swords reigned from the sky, their tips landing in the wood paneled floor. They then picked themselves up and shot out at one card in Laeon's hand as he discarded his necessary card to the graveyard.
"Now since I took 2 levels off, I can automatically summon Silent Swordsman Level 5 (2300/1000)!" Laeon played his powerful monster ignoring the one tribute rule since he was now at level 3!
A tall handsome young man appeared upon the field. His hair was long and blonde. He wore a long blue trench coat and underneath was nothing but black. He wielded a giant steel flamberge which lay on his right shoulder.
"He isn't strong enough to take down any of my monsters!" Aurora reminded Laeon as she smirked devilishly.
"That maybe but he is a killer guardsman! Now I special summon Flare Swordsman (2200/1700) in attack mode!" Laeon surprised Kazuma and Aurora with this move.
"How did you do that?" Aurora questioned even though she knew she had this duel in her grasp.
"When I discarded him because of Cost Down, I get to special summon him to the fielding attack mode!" Laeon explained as he watched the swordsman appear in a blaze.
Fire surrounded the swordsman. He wore slight black armor on his chest, waist, legs, and arms. The rest was a giant cloak surrounding him. He wielded a twin long blades in both hands holding them vigorously showing he wasn't afraid.
Unfortunately for Laeon, he was. He had declared the end of his turn. He was worried about Aurora's next move, he would just have to wait and see.
"You're pathetic Laeon! I play my own Pot of Greed so I can draw two cards!" As she said this, she did so. "Now I will use my King Dragun's ability, I can special summon a Dragon-type monster from my hand to the field once per turn, and this turn, it is my third Blue-Eyes White Dragon!"
"Shit…" Kazuma and Laeon whispered as they saw the third almighty dragon materialize right before them. The giant behemoths of a dragon roared making Laeon and Kazuma jump back and fall to the floor in fright. All of Aurora's combined monster's attack points were 11400. That was more than enough to take out Laeon.
"Not this turn Aurora! I activate Zero Gravity! Now watch as all of our monsters positions are switched! And since all of the monsters were in attack mode, they are all in defense mode!" Laeon wasn't lying. All the monsters were suddenly lifted into the air and just floated.
"Very cute Laeon, but that won't save you for long! I set a face down and end my turn…" Aurora announced not looking very pleased.
"Alright then, I play Malice of the Mourner! This powerful spell card can only be activated when I have no monster in my graveyard. I get to pick one monster from my deck and special summon it for a turn ignoring all summoning conditions! So come on out Black Luster Soldier – Envoy of the Beginning (3000/2500)!"
Now Laeon had this ready. His best card was out on the field and with its special effect to pretty much attack all monsters on the field, Laeon seemed unbeatable.
The dark armored soldier brought upon his legendary crusade upon the field giving out his legendary battle cry and brought his mighty sword as he created gales of wind with a slight stroke of it.
"Now my soldier, attack her Blue-Eyes White Dragon with Shining Luster Slash!" Laeon commanded and watched as the knight hunted for the behemoth dragon.
"I don't think so Laeon, because I activate my face down card Tri-Fusion! This is a powerful trap card that allows me to fuse 3 fusion material monsters on my side of the field and the new fusion monster is the only monster you can attack this turn! So I fuse all three of my Blue-Eyes White Dragons to create the almighty Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon (4500/3800) in attack mode!" Aurora interrupted the attack and they all watched in amazement of the ultimate fusion monster.
The three dragons took flight and spun in a circle creating a giant tornado. Within the tornado were giant strokes and strands of lightning that stuck out like a sore thumb. Once the tornado died down, the beast was visible. A three headed engine of unspeakable destruction and mayhem. It was the Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon…
All was blurry and hard to see. The only thing heard was a yell for help and all that was felt was pain…

In an unknown location...
Laeon opened his eyes to see he was lying on a soft bed. The room he was in was cold. Was he still at school? He looked around and found a clock. It was 2:15, right when 4th period began. "My chest…" Laeon whispered and picked himself up.
He was in school; he was at the training room resting. 'What happened?' he kept thinking as the roomed seemed to zoom around in a circle.
He tried to pick himself up but was unsuccessful. He finally gave up and looked to his left. He saw Kazuma lying right next to him in another bed sound asleep. "Damn…" he whispered.
"Damn is right boy…" Jonathon was at the door smiling. "You gave me quite a scare…"
"Hey dad…" Laeon looked up and coughed. "What happened?" Laeon asked once again, this time he got an answer.
"Your coach said you were in a schedule to duel some girl. Looks to me she beat you bad…" Jonathon answered sitting in a chair next to Laeon's bed.
"Aurora…" Laeon whispered and began to cough again. "So you do remember who you dueled?" Jonathon kept questioning Laeon.
"Vaguely… I remember I seemed to have her backed up in the corner until, all I saw was a light then I'm here… Today has been strange…" Laeon answered sitting up. He seemed to get some energy back from picking himself up, but he still needed time.
"Don't try so hard to pick yourself up, your beat up pretty bad…"Jonathon whispered at the last part.
"What are you talking about?" Laeon asked the reached for a hand mirror on his bed. Jonathon swiftly grabbed the mirror away and covered the glass reflector. "Dad, give me the mirror…"
Jonathon made a silly facial expression and revealed the glass part to Laeon. The right side of Laeon's face was cut up and bruised. "Damn again…" Laeon whispered and threw the mirror.
"Can you remember what she played?" Jonathon asked. Laeon laid back down. "No dad, I told you I only remember nothing but light… and pain…"
"Well since that didn't get you to remember, I guess I need to take that mask off of your face then huh?" Jonathon announced to a confused Laeon.
"What? What mask?" Jonathon reached for Laeon's right cheek and pulled. "What the hell dad!" It was a mask. All the bruises and cuts was nothing but rubber.
Jonathon began to laugh. "You suck…" Laeon turned away and tried to back to sleep thinking about what happened and how he would prevent it.

Downtown...
At a sky scraper in downtown Toronto, stood Leon at the roof with Aurora. The stood gallantly looking over the city letting the cold wind blow through their hair. "What did you think of him?" Leon asked smiling.
"He was despicable…" Aurora answered and sat on the edge of the building not afraid of what was below. "Really... How did you beat him?" Leon asked sitting next to her.
She smiled and put her hand on his hand. "Well…"

Flashback...
Black Luster Soldier charged the three-headed dragon at full force. He was no match for the giant dragon. As Black Luster Solider attacked and didn't leave a mark, Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon shot rapidly at Black Luster Soldier numerous amount of times making sure it stayed down.
Laeon's LP: 6500
Aurora's LP: 8000
Aurora smiled as she saw Laeon fall to his knees. She then drew her card and smiled bigger. "Prepare you competent fool, I use my King Dragun's ability again to special summon Tyrant Dragon (2900/2500) in attack mode! And now I will switch my King Dragun into attack mode!" Aurora was flawless in this turn. Laeon would bow to the Queen of Dragons, Aurora the Dragoness!
The giant red and bloody dragon, Tyrant Dragon, bursted through its chains from the sky into the gymnasium, roaring and breathing fire from its nostrils. King Dragun went from helpless snake dragon, to blood thirsty behemoth this turn as it was switched into attack mode.
"Tyrant Dragon, attack Silent Swordsman with Burst Inferno Blast!" Aurora commanded as she watched what she wanted. The giant dragon spread its wings and summoned many molten fire balls toward Silent Swordsman eradicating him into dust.
"Now watch my Tyrant Dragon's ability, if he destroys a monster after the first attack I declared with him and you still have a monster on the field, he can attack again! So Tyrant Dragon, attack Flare Swordsman with Burst Inferno Blast!"
The second wave of Tyrant Dragon's attack wasn't held back. Flare Swordsman suffered the same fate as Silent Swordsman… dust…
"Now King Dragun, direct attack with Chaos Flare!" Aurora now commanded the king to deal his torment to Laeon. The beast hovered into the air then dove onto the floor around Laeon, snaking his way of his blowing a giant ball of dark flames toward him.
"Now my ultimate creature, finish him off with Neutron Blast!" Aurora laughed sinisterly just as Seto would if he were here to enjoy this.
Each of the three heads that made up the dragon summoned a giant orb of electricity which they held in their mouth to charge. Each was a different color. Soon they fired at the same time, the orbs joining together in a giant black orb of electricity slamming Laeon full-force making his life points drop to 0.
Laeon's LP: 0
Aurora's LP: 8000
Aurora's monsters dissipated from the end of the duel. She crawled her way down the step of the bleachers and glared at the two unconscious duelists. "Pathetic…" she whispered and walked away with the wind…
---
"Brutal ending Aurora…" Leon thought aloud then took his hand away from Aurora's. He then wrapped his arm around Aurora and smiled at her.
"Well, I didn't attack him as badly as I could have. I programmed the match at only half the damage, so if it was any stronger, he would be worst…" Leon smiled harder.
"I think he is a good duelist, and with some guidance, he can't become great…" Leon broke the silence and closed his eyes.
"And you are going to be that mentor? All I saw that duel was a punk kid not even caring about the anatomy of the card, just caring about winning…" Aurora commented and smiled at Leon.
"And that is why he needs the guidance… someone has to do it if he is going to live by our name Aurora, since my dad is retired, I guess I will take him under my wing…"
"He isn't going to listen… he is too stubborn… you will just waste your time Leon, just don't even bother…"
Leon looked back at Aurora and his smile faded. "We will see…"

The next day at school...
"So she used a super powerful card and you have no idea what it is!" a teen in Laeon's first period asked.
"Yeah… It knocked me and Kazuma out and he wasn't even dueling!" Laeon answered with a cast on his left arm.
"That helps… nice one bragging off to the whole school Laeon…" Kazuma commented doing his homework. "Yeah I know its awesome isn't it?" Laeon asked Kazuma smiling.
"Not really, I was think, a waste of time, insipid, stupid…" Kazuma answered back. "There you go again calling the stuff I say insipid… No one even knows what that word means Kazuma! Just enjoy your fame when you get it… like now!"
"Laeon… You are such an idiot. No one will even care tomorrow. You call that fame?" Kazuma answered then asked. "At least I didn't call it insipid!" Laeon yelled and jumped on Kazuma. Typical play fight they do in first period seeing as the teacher never gives a damn.
"Shit Laeon, that's my arm!" "Oooh you like it!" "Damn it Laeon you bastard!" "Take it off Kazuma!" "Argh!"
