Well, I don't really have much to say now, so RER!
VS Chiaki! Duel for Lost Honor!
(A/N: Umm... I can't really think of a good little starting thingy, so let's just cut to the action!)
Everyone was eating lunch when Kaito's PDA went off. Kaito opened the message and Chiaki's face appeared on the screen.
"Hello Kaito," she (A/N:For those of u who forget her, she's obelisk, has shoulder-length black hair, and has a bang going over one of her eyes)said menacingly. "How about we have a little rematch? Meet me in the woods at 7:00 PM today, near the abandoned dorm. And if you don't... let's just say meet me in the woods at 7:00 PM. I'll be waiting..." The screen went blank.
"... that was weird," Alexis said. "But are you gonna go?"
Kaito sighed. "Well, I might as well. If she's just bluffing then I can leave without dueling her. But if she's not, I'm sure I can win."
That night, 6:55 PM:
The group agreed to meet at the entrance to the woods. Syrus and Chumley (who were the last to arrive) ran to them.
"Sorry we're late," Syrus panted once they arrived. "Chumley, I told you you shouldn't have had that grilled cheese sandwich!"
"Sorry, I was hungry!"
"Well, it doesn't matter now!" Jaden said. "We're all here, so let's go!"
They group quickly reached the abandoned dorm, and then began to search around. They soon found a clearing with Chiaki and her duel disk (A/N: Chiaki was looking down so the shadow from her hair covered her eyes; you know wat i'm talking about, wat they do in anime!) "It's about time you got here... Now let's duel!" Chiaki said as she activated her duel disk.
"Well why should I duel you?" Kaito asked.
"Because I have these," Chiaki said holding up 7 photos. "Courtesy of Alexis."
"Huh?" Syrus asked. "What are those?"
Chazz looked at them for a few seconds, and then remembered what they are. "I remember those! Those are the pictures Alexis used to force us to see Arkana's show!"
(Cue flashback!)
"Well," Alexis said. "If you don't wanna do it, I can always show the chancellor these!" Alexis took out 7 pictures from her pocket.
"What are those?" Kaito asked.
"Each of these is a picture of you in the girl's obelisk blue dorm," Alexis explained. "Anyone who doesn't see the show is going to be expelled."
(End Flashback)
"Alexis, did you give her those!" Jaden demanded.
"What?" Alexis exclaimed. "No! Why would I do that!"
"Maybe you're possessed again!" Chazz yelled.
"I am not!" Alexis screamed.
"How do we know you're not lying?" Zane inquired.
"She's not," Chiaki chuckled. "I broke into her room and stole them from you."
"Come to think of it," Alexis said, "One time when I got back to my room it did look a little different than when I left..."
"Well Kaito," Chiaki said. "It's either duel and lose, or get expelled along with Syrus, Jaden, Chazz, Zane, Masato, and Bastion. I think the choice is obvious."
"Fine!" Kaito declared as he activated his duel disk and slid in his deck. "Let's duel!"
"Okay," Chiaki said, her smile becoming more devilish. "But before we begin, let's increase the stakes."
"What do you mean?" Kaito asked.
Chiaki chuckled as she took out a small clear box, put the7 photos in it, closed the box and put the box on the ground in front of her. "Look in front of you; you'll see a box." Sure enough, a few feet away from Kaito, was a similar clear box with a single photo inside. "In that box is a picture of me in the Obelisk boy's dorm. If my lifepoints reach 0, then that box will open and will allow you to take that photo and show it to Shepard. However, when your lifepoints reach 0, this box (the one in front of her) will open, and will allow me to take the photos and get you expelled."
"So that means..."
"That whoever loses gets expelled!" Chiaki exclaimed.
Kaito meaninglessly looked around for a few moments, thinking, but they he realized something. "Hey, you just locked those photos in the box! That means that you can't threaten them with us because it will only open if you defeat me in a duel!"
"I wouldn't say that," Chiaki said with her evil smile. "If the duel hasn't started in..." Chiaki glanced at her wristwatch... "56 seconds my box will automatically open. So what do you say?"
Kaito sighed. "I have no choice; Let's duel!" Kaito drew 5 cards as Chiaki did the same.
Chiaki: 4000; Kaito: 4000
"I'll go first," Chiaki said as she drew a card(6). "I summon Demon Attacker(5;1650/1000) in attack mode!" A wicked demon holding a sword rose to the field. "That's all for me."
"My move!" Kaito declared after drawing a card(6). "I summon Sand Warrior(5;1700/1600)! And he has just enough attack to destroy your attacker!" A man made out of sand holding a sword materialized onto the field as a faint glow appeared around Demon Attacker as its attack rose to 1750. "Huh? What's going on?"
"My attacker gains 100 attack points for each of your face-up monsters; it appears that now my monster is just strong enough to destroy yours."
"Fine!" Kaito declared. "I set a face-down(4) and end!"
"My move!" Chiaki declared after drawing(6). "Demon Attacker, attack!" The demon let out a burst of energy at the Sand Warrior. However, the Sand Warrior split into many different copies, and the blast only destroyed one. "What happened!"
"I activated my trap!" Kaito declared. "Mirage Battalion! It increases my monster's attack by 2000, but reduces all battle damage it does to you to 0!"
"Fine, I end my turn!"
Kaito drew a card(5). "I activate the spell Sandstorm(4)! Now during each of my end phases, you take 200 points of damage for each of my sand monsters! I then summon another Sand Warrior(3) and set a spell/trap(2). Your turn, but let's not forget about sandstorm!" A bunch of sand picked up and hit Chiaki.
Chiaki: 3600; Kaito: 4000
"All right Kaito!" Alexis cheered.
"I wouldn't be rooting for him," Chiaki said, drawing a card(7). "After all, my attacker now has 1850 attack points, so now, attack!" The monster launched itself at one of the Sand Warriors, but the other one cut in and destroyed the advisor as Chiaki's lifepoints lowered even further.
Chiaki: 2050; Kaito: 4000
"Ha!" Kaito exclaimed. "I activated my Cross Counter, so now the attack of my two monsters merged into 3400!"
"Lucky move," Chiaki said. "I set two face-downs(5) and end," she declared after inspecting her hand.
"That's it?" Kaito asked, drawing a card(3). "Well then, I summon Sand Hound(2;1500+200+200/1400) in attack mode!" A dog made out of sand appeared on the field and growled at Chiaki. "It gets a 200 point attack bonus for each of my Sand Warriors, bringing its attack up to 1900! Now, my three monsters, attack for the game!" The monsters jumped at Chiaki, but the Sand Hound and one of the Sand Warriors were blocked by an invisible shield as Chiaki's lifepoints rose.
Chiaki: 3950; Kaito: 4000
"Sorry, but I used my two Draining Shields!" Chiaki declared. "So now I gain lifepoints equal to your Sand Hound and Warrior's attack! However, because your second Sand Warrior attacked, I only gained 1900 lifepoints, but it doesn't matter because now I'm only 50 lifepoints behind!"
She's right, Kaito thought. "I end my turn, but let's not forget about sandstorm!" The wind picked up again and inflicted 600 points of damage to Chiaki.
Chiaki: 3350; Kaito: 4000
Chiaki drew her card(6). "Here's a card that will help me, Lightning Vortex(5)! By discarding a card(4), I can destroy all of your face-up monsters!" A giant bolt of lightning came down, obliterating Kaito's monsters and Sandstorm.
"When I have no sand monsters my Sandstorm is automatically destroyed," Kaito sadly explained.
"Well," Chiaki said, "I discarded my Treasure Box, so that lets me draw one card from my deck(5)! And I think I'll play it now, Demon Swordsman(4;1850/0)!" A purple demon with two swords rose up from the ground. "Now, attack Kaito directly!" The swordsman launched itself at Kaito and slashed his lifepoints.
Chiaki: 3350; Kaito: 2150
"I'll set a spell/trap(3), and I think that's enough," Chiaki smugly said.
Kaito drew(3). "All right!" He declared. "I summon Sand Scarab(2;2000/1000) in attack mode!" A sand beetle appeared on the field. "Now, attack Chiaki's Demon Swordsman!" The scarab charged forward through the demon into Chiaki, but then a crouching female demon in robes appeared in the Demon Swordsman's place.
Chiaki: 3200; Kaito: 2150
"I activated Demon Replacement," Chiaki explained. "It replaces my Demon Swordsman with a weaker demon, which in this case is Demon Priest(2;100/1600)!"
"Fine," Kaito said. "I end my turn. And my scarab switches to defense because of its effect."
"And I begin mine!" Chiaki said, drawing(3). "Now I activate Demon Priests special effect! By tributing her I can bring back my Demon Swordsman, but with 200 extra attack points!" The priest began to chant, and in a puff of smoke it disappeared and the swordsman took her place, but this time with a dark glow. "Now attack and destroy Sand Scarab!" The swordsman ran up and easily slashed through the sand bug. "I end my turn."
"Chiaki," Kaito asked. "Why did you challenge me to a duel. If your putting up stakes like this it can't be that you just want a rematch." Or maybe you're working for those people with the shadow cards...
"Because!" Chiaki explained. "After you beat me I kept getting worse and worse! I had never lost to a slifer or ra before; I barely ever lose to Obelisks! But after you beat me... I couldn't win... I don't know why that happened, or how to fix it... But if I duel you then maybe I'll get my dueling spirit back! And just to make sure I win, I got a very powerful card from a few... friends. And if I draw it, it's all over."
"Well then," Kaito said as he drew his card(3). "I'll just have to beat you before you can get that card. And I think I have the cards to do it! I activate the field spell Desert(2)! This will lower non-desert monster's power and increase desert monster's powers! This also lets me special summon a desert monster from my graveyard, so say hello to Sand Warrior again!" A desert enveloped the forest, and then a Sand Warrior rose out of the sands.
"You may have lowered my monster's power and increased yours, but your Sand Warrior is still 50 attack points short!" Chiaki declared.
"Who said I was using Sand Warrior?" Kaito asked. "I special summon Sand Insect(1;100/100) using its special effect, and then I tribute my two monsters to summon Sand Hawk(0;2400+200/1700+200)!" A small sand insect rose out of the ground, but then it and the warrior receded. Then a few seconds later a giant bird made out of sand flew out of the ground and roared at Chiaki. "Now, attack her swordsman!" The bird swooped down and dove through the swordsman into Chiaki.
Chiaki: 2550; Kaito: 2150
"I end my turn."
"All right Kaito!" Syrus cheered.
"Yes," Bastion agreed. "You're just one attack away from victory."
"Don't worry," Chiaki said, "I'll still win anyway. My draw(4)! I set a monster(3) and end my turn!"
"My draw(1)," Kaito declared. "And I forgot to tell you, that when my Hawk attacks a monster in defense, half the difference still goes to you. But now I activate Pot of Greed(0) to draw two cards from my deck(2)! I activate Sand Sword(1)! It will increase the attack of my Hawk by 700(3300) and it has the same piercing effect as my Hawk originally has, so now when it attacks through defense the entire different will be inflicted to your lifepoints!" The hawk screeched as its feathers became sharper and longer. "Now, attack!" The hawk swooped down to reveal a familiar Demon Attacker, which was easily smashed.
Chiaki: 250; Kaito: 2150
"Chiaki..." Kaito said (A/N: This is not in an angry tone, this is in a gentle tone, okay? He's trying to be nice and careful, not mean). "Good game. But why don't you just surrender? I promise I won't get you expelled. I mean, you do really think that your card can let you win?"
Chiaki had fallen to her knees from the blast, and was looking at the ground. She looked up (she had her crazy look again, only this time it looked more... evil) and smiled. "Yes."
Chiaki drew her card(4) and Kaito saw a quick flash of a dark aura around it. Oh no... a shadow card...
"Well," Chiaki said. "Looks like I drew it!"
"Wait Chiaki!" Kaito said. "Don't play that card! If you do then our souls will be at stake!"
"Yeah right," Chiaki snorted.
"It's true!" Alexis cried.
"Yeah, and the monsters will turn real!" Jaden added.
"Please Chiaki..." Kaito begged quietly. "Don't do it..."
Chiaki stared at the card, deciding whether to play it, but then quickly shook her head and thought No! "I can't believer you thought of that lame story and got your friends to back it up just so you could win!"
"What?" Kaito asked. "It's all true! I swear it is! I swear on anything and everything! It's true!"
"Like I'll believe you." Chiaki flatly said. She began to slap the card onto her duel disk...
At the last moment Kaito yelled "WAIT!" with enough force to get Chiaki to stop.
"What is it now?" She asked impatiently.
"Don't do it..." Kaito said. "Y-you don't need to do it... y-you don't n-need that c-card to win..."
"Are you blind!" Chiaki cried. "Look at the field! If I don't play this then you'll win for sure!"
"N-no," Kaito said. "No, I will not."
"And why not?"
"Because... B-b-because I... s-surrender." Kaito said as he placed his hand over his deck.
Chiaki: 250; Kaito: 0
"Huh?" Chiaki asked as she fell to her knees, the holograms faded, and the box in front of her clicked open. "You surrendered... even though then you and your friends could get expelled... Does that mean that this card really was one of those shadow thingies?"
"Yes," Kaito said.
"So one of us would have lost our soul?"
Everyone nodded.
"Well then," Chiaki said, standing up. "Not anymore! I am getting rid of this card!" Chiaki threw the card into the air as the wind picked it up and carried it away. "Now that that's over with, wanna go get some dinner?"
"Sure!" Chumley immediately said as everyone laughed. They all began to leave when Chiaki suddenly stopped.
"Hold on you guys," She said. "We forgot something." She ran back to the box and took out the 7 photos, and ripped them to shreds. She then took the box with her photo in it, picked it up, and began to carry it. "Wouldn't want anyone to find those!"
"Well, that certainly true!" Jaden said. "And at least we won't be threatened by those again. Well, at least unless Alexis made doubles!" He laughed.
"Are you accusing me of making doubles!"
"What? No! I'm just saying that-OW!"
"You're accusing me! Don't you trust me!"
"Of course I do! OW! Chazz, what was that for?"
"For accusing Alexis, you Slifer Slacker!"
"Umm... Chazz... you're still in Slifer, y'know."
"Shut up, Syrus."
"Don't tell Syrus to shut up like that!"
"Why not!"
"Because!"
And so everyone argued like that until they finally got back to their dorms.
