Okay, everyone! I am uber-sorry that I haven't updated in sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo long! I just couldn't think of any good ideas for a duel… I'm sort of like that where I'll have a bunch of good ideas, but then I'll get… uh… duelist block and I can't think of any more good duels, but new duels are already coming up in my head! I should start to update more regularly soon!

So, RER! (Read, enjoy, REVIEW) And add to favorites (unless u've already done so) if u like!

The Master (Sort Of)

Zane, Bastion, Jaden, Alexis… were eating lunch together, when simultaneously all of their PDAs went off. They all exchanged glances then answered.

"Hello," A black figure said. Each of their PDAs had the same movie-and although it was a movie the screen was pitch black. "I have come to defeat you all. I am the greatest duelist that ever lived! And any of you may duel me! However, you must find me first. Also, no working together! Or else I will have your heads, instead of my monsters!" The screen turned white for a split second then went back to the normal duel academy logo.

"Well," Alexis said. "I guess we should concentrate on finding this guy."

"Agreed," Kaito said. "But… should we even try to work together?"

"No." Zane said. "This duelist could be anyone; for all we know they are in this room, spying to see if we break their rule. We have to do this alone."

"Yeah, and it's a good thing too," Chazz said arrogantly. "You guys would only slow me down! I'll have this guy beat before you can even figure out his name!"

"Who said it's a boy?" Alexis asked. "And why do we even need to know her name to duel her?"

"So if we lose, we know who it is!" Chazz said.

"But Chazz," Jaden interjected. "I thought you were going to win!"

"Why you little…." Chazz began strangling Jaden.

"Knock it off!" Kaito said, trying to pry Chazz and Jaden apart. Although, Alexis, Bastion, Syrus, Chumley (Syrus and Chumley were there too,but their PDAs didn't go off) all tried to help, but Chazz still hung on to Jaden's neck.

Just then Dr. Crowler came and screamed "What the devil is going on here?"

"Uh…" Chazz began. They all lined up straight and orderly, except for Jaden who was on the floor gasping for breath. "Nothing!"

"Oh really?" Dr. Crowler said. "Because I could have sworn you were strangling poor Jaden over here."

"No! No!" Chazz said. "I would never to such a thing!"

"Really?" Dr. Crowler asked, leaning in close to Chazz.

"Of course not!" Chazz said, putting his hands up in defense. Dr. Crowler gave Chazz a menacing look and finally Chazz said, "Alright, alright! I was strangling Jaden."

"Oh good! I was hoping you were! Can I help?" Dr. Crowler and Chazz began to strangle Jaden again. Alexis was finally able to get them away but smooshing some of the bad sandwiches in Chazz and Dr. Crowlers' faces (sandwich day was yesterday and there were still some sandwiches in the garbage bins). Jaden lay on the floor, gasping for breath as everyone else walked away, trying to figure out the mystery about this "master duelist."

Later:

Bastion was in his room, frantically typing at his computer. He had figured out that this duelist had used computers somehow. He discovered that the scene immediately changed to the white so he guessed it was a computerized transition. Bastion also found out videos cannot be sent to multiple people with the PDA, so a computer was used for that. He was in a photo-editing program. He was trying to see if he could find where the mystery duelist was by editing the scenes from the movie. He began repeatedly pressing a key, as the pure white screen began to grow darker. After a few clicks Bastion gasped, for he could start to see the faint lines of images. Soon he had the picture of a room; a room he luckily knew about. He grabbed his duel disk and departed.

Later:

Bastion walked down a small concrete hallway with his duel disk on his wrist. He stopped in front of a door with "36A" on its name and entered the abnormally large closet. It was mostly empty, except for a few janitorial tools, boxes, and of course the mystery duelist leaning across the bare wall on the other side of the room.

"'Bout time you got here," he said. "Now let's duel so I can beat you!"

"Agreed," Bastion said as their duel disks sprang to life.

"Hold on, hold on. We duel with a little twist: we start with 8000 lifepoints instead of 4000."

"Fine. No matter the circumstances, I'll be the victor," Bastion said as he pressed a few buttons on the duel disk and his lifepoints rose from 4000 to 8000.

"I like to toy with my opponents before beating them," MD (mystery duelist said; i'm not giving him a name... yet) said. "And since I am going to be the one to win, I'll go first!"

MD: 8000; Bastion: 8000

MD drew his 6th card. "Now I summon -wait, uh..." MD was about to slam a monster onto his duel disk, but then noticed something about his hand. "I'll just set a monster and end my turn," MD said quietly as he put the monster he was going to summon face-down on his duel disk instead.

Bastion drew his card and inspected his hand. Might as well start off easy and use this card nowwhen I have the chance, he thought. "I'll follow suit. I set a monster and end my turn."

"Alright!" MD said after he drew his card. "I summon Luster Dragon (1900/1600) in attack mode!" A sapphire dragon materialized on the field and roared as Bastion. "Now, attack the loser's face-down monster!" Luster Dragon flapped its wings, launching sapphire shards at Bastion's face-down monster. A small train was revealed and immediatly destroyed by the ongoing blast.

"You destroyed my Dekoichi the Battlechanted Locomotive (1400/1000) so now I can draw one card from my deck!" Bastion said as he drew his card.

"No problem," MD said. "You're now defenseless. I end my turn."

"I won't be for long," Bastion muttered as he drew his card. "I summon Archfiend Soldier (1900/1500) in attack mode and equip him with United We Stand, increasing his attack and defense by 800 for every face-up monster on my field!" The gruesome soldier appeared on the field and began to glow as its attack rose to 2700. "Now, attack the Luster Dragon!" Archfiend Soldier charged and destroyed Luster Dragon as MD's lifepoints dropped by 800.

MD:7200; Bastion: 8000

"I end."

"You'll pay," MD growled as he drew his card. "I'll set a second monster and end my turn."

"What do you know?" Bastion smiled as he look at the card he drew. "I'll summon a second Archfiend Soldier!" A second warrior, identical to the first-except without the glow-appeared and the first soldier's glow became stronger. "I'll have both of my soldiers attack both of your face-downs!" The two warriors slashed at the hidden monsters, easily destroyed both of the Red-Eyes B. Chick (800/500). "I'll end my turn now."

MD drew his card. "I..." he stammered. "I have to pass."

"So much for being the best duelist alive," Bastion commented as he drew his card. "I summon Mystic Tomato (1400/1000) in attack mode! I now attack you with all of my monsters directly, depleting your lifepoints to 0!"

MD dropped to his knees, muttering things under his breath. Bastion saw MD's hand only contained many high-level dragons, including a rare Blue-Eyes White Dragon (Kaiba had more copies made and gave them out at promotional events). "You have too many high level monsters in your deck," Bastion said. "You don't have a lot of non-tribute monsters, so you can't get out tribute monsters. Your deck is really bad now, but could be a lot better."

MD immediately got up. "I shall return," he vowed. He jumped backwards, just going through the wall behind him like a ghost.

"What the...?" Bastion said as he ran up to the wall. He tried to find a way through, but to no avail. He sighed and returned to his dorm.

The Next Day at Lunch:

Everyone was sitting at a lunch table, quietly eating. "Look," Jaden said. "Maybe we should just discuss the master duelist guy a little, if we are really quiet he might not hear us."

"Yeah," Alexis said. "Did you guys find anything?"

"I did," Bastion said without looking up from his food. "I found him, and then I beat him in a duel."

"You did?" Jaden asked. "Then did you take him to the infirmary? What he a student here? Was he slifer, ra or obelisk?"

"One, no; two and three, I don't know."

"Why didn't you take him to the infirmary?" Masato demanded.

"Because, I beat him before he could use his minor-god card. Then he just disappeared," Bastion answered.

"Well, its great that you beat him, but too bad he got away," Syrus said, looking down at his food.

Somewhere Else:

A boy sat in a dark room. The only light came from a small lamp resting on the desk the boy was sitting out. Many cards were arrayed on the deck and the boy was looking through them. "Bastion," the boy solemnly vowed. "I shall beat you. This I swear."

Yay! Okay, I wanted to do an ending like with the girl with the brown (or black maybe, but i think it was brown) hair in ra that was in another chapter, but then I realized i had done that already, so I guess this ending is good too.

Well, just about me... I sometimes go through little phases. When I find something (like this website)I sometimes get really exited, and pretty much do nothing but it, like I was doing before. Then I go through a cycle in which I barely do any of it, which was happening the past few weeks. Finally, I figure out how to get a good balance of it in my life. I think i'm about to find the fanfic balance, so I should start to update regularly agian soon. REMEMBER TO PLZ REVIEWAlso, concerning made up cards, from now on I will not post a fake card if it is a fake card from GX (to see a complete of all character's cards from GX, go to janime.info)or if it a japanese only card; I will only include it if I made it up (and i'm not including minor-god cards).

Well, I know this was a really bad duel, but writing this was like unclogging the drain in a bathtub; ideas are not pouring out of my brain, so my next chapter should be a really good duel; i'm pretty sure Chazz is gonna be in it :)

Also, I reread some of my earlier chapters... and I found a lot of typos :( From now I'm gonna proofread my chappies! yay! (once right after I type it and once right before I add the next chapter, so its after I just wrote it and I'm not all exited about that chapter and stuff). Well, what are you just reading this for? REVIEW!

Oh, and if u see any typoes tell me in ur review, 'cause remember i'm gonna update it again! (but only post typoes of my latest chappie, unless its a really big important typo)
