Okay, the plot opens up a little in this chappie; I think I'm gonna get the plot really going next chapter. Well, here we go! (Don't forget to review!)
Okay, but I'm not using any submitted OCs in this chappie, maybe the next. Enjoy!
Another Day, Another Duel
"Hey, Sy, up for a practice duel?" Jaden asked, as the two walked into their room. "I've been hankerin' for a duel for the entire day!"
"Jaden, you just had a duel five minutes ago in class, remember?" Syrus pointed out.
"Oh yeah, well, do you sti-" Jaden was cut off as both of their PDA's went off. Both checked theirs and saw their had a message from chancellor Sheppard. It read (A/N: You don't really need to read the entire letter, I'll give you the short summary if u don't want to read it: There is a ferry going from duel academy to the local city; they need student ID cards to use the ferry; the cards can be gotten from a newly built library; if they miss the last ferry from the city to the academy they can stay in a KaibaCorp Hotel for free overnight.)
Dear Students of Duelist Academy,
Duelist Academy has recently had a ferry and a library built. The ferry will take all students from here to the local city. Ferry rides take about 20 minutes, and ferry departures are from both locations every three hours every day, from 9 AM to 6 PM. Ferries will be at the docks 10 minutes before each departure. If you are unable to return from the city, please visit the KaibaCorp Hotel, which is facing the ocean, right next to the docks. By presenting your student ID card—which can be acquired in the newly-built library—you will be able to stay that night in a suite(you will also be given $30 in credit to buy dinner and breakfast). You will also need a student ID card to use the ferry; if you are in the city and lose your student ID card, you may visit the docks where they have a computer with a list of all students and return to the academy.
From,
Chancellor Sheppard
"Let's go to the library and get a student ID card!" Jaden exclaimed, running out of their room.
"Wait, Jaden!" Syrus called after him. "You don't even know where the library is!"
At the library (which Syrus and Jaden found after much trial and error), they met Alexis, Chazz, and Bastion, and they all agreed to go to the city (It was around 2:45). So they went to the city.
They found a card shop, each of them purchasing a few cards for their deck (in Bastion's case, decks). Then they went window-shopping, visited an arcade, and just when Alexis was about to get the high score on "Cyber Blader Smash" (which was Alexis' favorite game) Syrus looked at his watch, and found they barely had enough time to get back to the ferry. Syrus quickly explained to them all, and they dragged Alexis out with much difficulty (Alexis gets very… serious when it comes to Cyber Blader Smash).
"Hey, this alley is a shortcut!" Jaden said, darting into it. Just when they were about to reach the end, a big man with a duel disk stepped out, blocking the exit.
"If you guys want to get through here, you're gonna have to duel!" he said. He had black leather gloves, pants, and a black leather jacket. Underneath the jacket was a blue shirt.
"Please, sir," Alexis pleaded, using some of her charm. "We're from the duel academy, and we really need to get to the ferry, or else we won't be able to get back until morning!"
"Like I said, you're gonna have to duel! And if you win, I'll let you pass. If you don't, you will have to take the other way around. Except you," he said, pointing at Alexis. "If I will, you gotta stay here and be my girlfriend! And just to make sure you guys don't try to escape…" the man pulled out a small remote and pushed a button on it. A steel grating on the other end of the alley closed, sealing them in.
"Fine, we accept." Alexis said, surprising her friends. "And I'll duel you." Alexis' duel disk turned on as she slid her deck in. "I go first!" Alexis declared. "Well, since I'm not going to be your girlfriend, at least tell me your name."
"Chakku."
Alexis: 4000; Chakku: 4000
"Okay, then I draw! Now I'll summon Etoile Cyber (1200/1600) in attack mode and a facedown magic/trap, and then I end!"
Chakku chuckled as he drew his card. "I summon Armored Zombie (1500/0) in attack mode! (A/N: Is it just me or is it weird that "Armored" zombie has 0 attack?) Now I'll attack your Etoile Cyber!"
"Activate trap! Doble Passe! This changes your attack to a direct attack! But then my monster gets to attack you directly!"
"So what?" Chakku laughed. "You're gonna take more damage than me!"
"I don't think so," Alexis said. "You see, Etoile Cyber's special ability increases her attack by 500 whenever she attacks directly." Armored Zombie and Etoile Cyber hobbled/danced over to their opponent and attacked.
Alexis: 2500; Chakku: 2300
"I end my turn," Chakku said.
"I draw, and then I summon Cyber Tutu (1000/800)!" Alexis said. "And when all of your face-up monster's attacks are higher than hers, she can attack you directly, so now, attack!"
Alexis: 2500; Chakku: 1300
"I play a face-down magic/trap card, switch Etoile Cyber into defense mode, and end my turn!"
Chakku drew a card. "I tribute Armored Zombie to summon Ultimate Goblin Attack Force (2700/0)! Now I attack your Cyber Tutu! And, when my attack force destroys a monster in defense, the difference goes to your lifepoints!" The heavily armed goblins stampeded through Cyber Tutu into Alexis, but then the goblins fell over, exhausted.
Alexis: 800; Chakku: 1300
"Alexis! Don't give up! You can beat this creep!" Jaden called out to her.
"Who said I was giving up?" Alexis remarked. "I've lost a few lifepoints, so what? I'm still taking this guy down."
"We'll see," Chakku said. "After my goblins attack they must switch into defense mode, so I'll play a face-down magic/trap card and end my turn."
"I draw! Then I'll summon Cyber Gymnast (800/1800) in attack mode! Once I destroy your goblins and my Etoile Cyber attacks, it's all over for you! So I'll attack your goblins with my Cyber Gymnast!"
"Not so fast! I'll activate my trap card, Zero Gravity! This changes the battle positions of all face-up monsters on the field! So your monsters to into defense while mine go into attack!" Cyber Gymnast and Etoile Cyber went onto their knees while Ultimate Goblin Attack Force got back up, reinvigorated.
"Fine, I play a face-down magic/trap and end my turn," Alexis said.
Chakku drew a card, and then laughed. "I don't want to use a card this powerful on a pretty girl like you, but I think I might have to. I activate, The Aura of Slifer – 500! This allows me to distribute 500 extra points between my monsters (each monster gets this, not all the monsters share it). So, I will choose to increase the attack of all my monsters by 500! And now I summon Indomitable Fighter Lei Lei (2300+500/0)! Now I attack your Etoile Cyber with my goblins (which now have 3200 attack)! It's all over for you!"
A man sat at his deck with his eyes closed. Another man walked into the office and said "Part of Slifer has been unlocked, although it is only a small part."
"Don't worry," the man with the closed eyes said. "The stronger cards will activate soon."
"Uh… I have another thing. We have found another part of the prophecy."
"Hmm?" the man said, opening one of his eyes.
"Not yet! I activate negate attack! Maybe next turn," Alexis said.
"Fine, I end my turn," Chakku said.
"My draw!" Alexis shouted. "And I activate Pot of Greed, so I can now draw two cards!"
"Uh… Alexis?" Syrus asked. "Can you hurry this up? We really need to go."
"Don't worry, Sy," Alexis reassured. "I'll beat this guy this turn."
"I doubt it! My monsters' attacks are way higher than any monster you'll summon!"
"So what? Your monsters' defense is nothing."
"Ha!" Chakku laughed. "Defense doesn't matter!"
"We'll see about that," Alexis murmured to herself. "Now I summon Cyber Defender (250/2000) in attack mode! I then equip her with Horn of Light, increasing her defense to 2800!"
"I said it before and I said it again: defense doesn't matter!" Chakku screamed at Alexis.
"It will with this card," Alexis said slyly, placing a spell card in her duel disk. "I activate the spell card Shield and Sword! This will swap the attack and defense of all our monsters!"
"What? No!" Chakku yelled.
"Now, Cyber Defender, attack Chakku's Ultimate Goblin Attack force!" Alexis shouted.
Alexis: 800; Chakku: 0
As Chakku sank to his knees Alexis, Bastion, Chazz, Jaden, and Syrus ran past him to the dock. Alexis, Bastion, Chazz, and Jaden quickly swiped their student IDs, allowing them to pass and get on the ferry, but Syrus' didn't go through.
"C'mon, Syrus!" Alexis called. "I didn't win that duel just for your card to not work!"
"I'm trying guys, I'm trying!" Syrus said, repeatedly scanning his card.
"Hey, doofus! You're scanning the card the wrong way!" Chazz shouted as the ferry slowly started to depart.
"Huh?" Syrus asked. He turned his card over, scanned it, and worked! Syrus began to run to the ferry. By the time he got to the edge of the dock, the ferry was past it so Syrus, without thinking, jumped. I really hope I make it, considering I can't swim, Syrus thought quickly as he glided through the air. He saw he wasn't going to make it. He shut his eyes tight as he started to fall down, and then felt a hand grasp on to his.
"Don't worry, buddy. I got ya!" Jaden said. "Hey, a little help here?" Alexis and Bastion helped Syrus up. The four of them leaned against the wall of the ferry and sighed, as the boat took them back to duel academy.
Cards (some of their effects are a little strange, but still get the point across):
Cyber Gymnast: Warrior/Effect/Earth LV4 ATK/800 DEF/1800; from your hand discard 1 card. Destroy one of your opponent's faced-up attack position monster on the field. This effect can only be done once per turn.
Cyber Tutu: Warrior/Effect/Earth LV3 ATK/1000 DEF/800; if the total attack points of the monsters on your opponent's field is more than this cards attack points, this card can attack your opponent directly.
NOTE: Cyber Tutu and Cyber Gymnast (which is actually Cyber Gymnastics) are real cards, but (at least right now) are Japanese only.
Ultimate Goblin Attack Force: Warrior/Effect/Earth LV6 ATK/2700 DEF/0; if this card attacks, it is changed to Defense Position at the end of the Battle Phase. This card's battle position cannot be changed until the end of your next turn, except with a card effect. When this card attacks with an ATK that is higher than the DEF of your opponent's Defense Position monster, inflict the difference as Battle Damage to your opponent's Life Points.
Cyber Defender: Warrior/Effect/Earth LV4 ATK/250 DEF/2000; when your opponent declares an attack against another face-up monster on your side of the field with "Cyber" in its name, you may redirect the attack to this monster.
Well, like I said, the plot really gets going in the next chapter. The small plot part was with the guy in the office, and the slifer card (in case u still don't get it, u increase the ATK and DEF of all ur monsters by a total of 500, so you can increase the ATK by 200, and the DEF by 300, or the ATK by 450 and the DEF by 50, or the ATK by 100 and the DEF by 400, and u should get it by now). Well, read and rate! (And maybe post some nice deck types I could put into my story)
If anyone wants me to use a certain deck type, just put it in your review. Also, you can put in an OC if you want me to put him/her in, but be sure to give a name, description, deck type, (and possibly his/her favorite/trump card(s)). I can't guarantee I'll get all of your decks/OCs in, but I'll try. Also, your OC might be a bad guy (sorry!).(yes, i know i'm repeating myself)
