Oy, nobody has reviewed for the past two chapters :( But aw well, it's still fun doing this! (although if I don't get any reviews soon, i might delete this story) Anyway, on with the chappie! RER!
Disclaimer: I do not own Yugioh GX. Besides, if I did own it, don't you think I'd be making actual episodes instead of just fanfics?
Clash of the Titans! Part I
(A/N: This part takes place at around the same time as chapter 14)
Zane was sitting at the base of a tree, looking through his deck. I've got toimprove my deck a whole lot more... I've got to become best in the academy again! I can't believe I let a slifer slacker beat me! Of course, I still am not sure if I have the right cards... He sighed. Zane looked up as the wind picket up too, and saw a card floating in the wind. As the wind let down the card land on the ground right next to Zane, face-down. Zane picked up the card, and smiled when he saw it. This will do nicely... Now I just need to get cards to support it...
It's a room, where the "man with his eyes closed" was (A/N: From I believe either chapter 6 or 7). The room was dark, lit by only a few torches. In front of the man is a big bowl filled with water. In the water is a picture of Zane sitting at the tree, looking at the card. (Oh, and since I didn't describe him earlier, he has medium length light teal hair, yellow eyes, a yellow dress suit and a navy blue tie)
The man looked at the picture and smiled. He has found a shadow card. And if he is going to use it against another Chosen One, this could work out very nicely for me... He looked up at three giant stone tablets on the wall, each with a faint carving of one of the three egyptian gods (as more souls and energy go to the gods, the pictures become more and more detailed).
His thoughts were interrupted as another man-in a black suit and sunglasses-opened the door and entered. "Uhh... Sir? You're needed."
"Yes, yes," the first man sighed, waving his hand over the water causing the image to disappear. "I'll be right there."
Back at Duel Academy...
It was twilight (so it's obviously not the same time as the 2 previous scenes), and Alexis, Jasmine, and Mindy were all walking back to their dorms.
"Wow! I still can't believe I tied with the academy's best duelist!" Mindy cheered.
"Mindy, you've been ranting on like this for 3 hours now! Do you think you can stop?" Jasmine asked with a sweatdrop.
"No!" Mindy immediately answered as Alexis and Jasmine fell down anime-style. "So," she asked, "Do you think that makes me second best in the school?"
"Uhh... no!" Alexis said. "You didn't even face his real deck, nor did you duel with your real deck! Besides, second best is Zane."
"Well, ignoring the deck thing, what about third?" Mindy asked again.
"That's Jaden."
"Fourth?"
"That would be me," Alexis said.
"Fifth?" Mindy asked desperately.
"Chazz," Jasmine replied. "Why don't you just give up now instead of until you're completely crushed?"
"Okay..." Mindy said, now sad.
"Yes! She's stopped!" Alexis and Jasmine exclaimed in unison, high-fiving each other.
"But I still tied with the best in the school!" Mindy said, now happy again as Jasmine and Alexis fell down for the second time.
"Here she goes again..." Jasmine said quietly.
"Oh!" Alexis cried, opening her door. "Here's my dorm! Jasmine, why don't you walk with Mindy the rest of the way to her dorm!" She quickly entered the room and shut the door before Jasmine could protest. She sighed and turn around, to discover a figure cloaked completely in black was waiting for her. "What the-" Shescreamed but then the figure quickly jumped on her and covered her mouth...
The next day, at lunch...
Syrus, Kaito, Jaden, Masato, and Chazz were eating lunch together. Chiaki entered the cafeteria and noticed them sitting at a table, so she went to them and joined their conversation. "Hey guys!" she said. "How's it going?"
"Not so well," Chazz snorted.
"Huh? Why not?" Chiaki asked.
"Because," Chazz said, "Your elbow is in my mashed potatoes."
"Huh? What?" Chiaki said, but then she looked down and sure enough, he had stuck her left elbow in Chazz's potatoes when she had sat down. "Oh! Sorry about that!" She apologized as she wiped off the white goo with a napkin.
"Mashed Potatoes?" Syrus asked. "I thought it was vanilla yogurt..."
"It looks like marshmallow fluff to me!" Jaden exclaimed.
"Jaden, why would they serve marshmallow fluff as lunch?" Kaito asked. "Besides, it's obviously cauliflower!"
"Well, there's only one way to find out!" Jaden declared, picking up his fork.
Kaito, Syrus, and Chazz nodded as they too picked up their fork. The four of them, in unison, stuck their forks into the goo and put it in their mouth. Almost immediately, they froze, their eyes bulged out and began to water. They then opened their mouths and began scrapping the goo from their tongues with forks, and drank their water to get rid of the awful taste. "Well, that definitely not marshmallow, potatoes, or yogurt," Syrus said.
"And it definitely tasted bad enough to be cauliflower," Kaito said in disgust.
"Oh come on guys!" Chiaki said. "It can't be that bad!"
"Why don't you try it then?" Chazz asked.
"Umm... Okay then! I will!" Chiaki declared. Hesitantly, she took a forkful of the goo. She closed her eyes and opened her mouth, expecting the worse to come. She stuck it in her mouth, swallowed it, and retained her tense facial expression as the guys' mouths dropped open, seeing as how she didn't want to puke the stuff out immediately. "Actually, it's kind of good!" She yelled as she began stuffing it in her face as the guys got even more freaked out. "Oh wait, I almost forgot!" Chiaki said as she stopped eating and took some papers out of her backpack. "Alexis was supposed to be in my first class (A/N: I know wat some of u are probably thinking; in the first class, everyone but Chumley and Zane are together, as they were last chapter. However, they have a rotational schedule so that means that the classes they have rotate with different days, so they could have a different first class every day), but she wasn't there, so the teacher asked me to give her what she missed."
"Well, come to think of it," Chazz began, "Alexis was supposed to be in my class just before lunch, and she didn't show either. It's not like her to not show up for class, or at least to not show up without an excuse."
"Maybe we should go to her dorm and find out what's wrong," Jaden suggested.
"Well, we can't really do that; it's the girls' dorm, as in no boys allowed. Besides," Kaito said. "She was probably kidnapped by someone with a shadow card, and he's going to message one of us on our PDA in 3... 2... 1..."
...Silence...
"Uhh... maybe it went to Zane or Bastion!" Kaito suggested.
"Yeah right you lo-" Chazz was cut off by the ringing of Masato's PDA.
"Told ya!" Kaito bragged, sticking his tongue out at Chazz as Masato answered his PDA.
"Hello," an audio message played on a pitch-black screen. "I have captured Alexis."
The screen switched to a picture of Alexis tied up to a chair, struggling to get out. "You guys!" She yelled. "You've got to save me! It's-" She was cut off as the screen turned black again and the original voice came back on.
"If you want to see her alive again, Masato, you will meet me behind the abandoned dorm as soon as the sun has set with your duel disk and deck. If you are more than 2 minutes late, or tell anyone else about this at all..." The pitch-black screen changed to a picture of Alexis again, in the chair with the sound muted out. A black rectangle was covering his mouth, most likely so they couldn't tell what she was saying from her lips. A gloved hand was holding a needle with a green liquid inside it pressed to her throat, and then the voice came on again. "She will die." The message ended, the PDA turned off, and everyone was silent for a few moments.
"Masato..." Chiaki said, "What are you going to do?"
"You have to tell Chancellor Sheppard!" Kaito said.
"No..." Masato said solemnly. "Whoever that was threatened to kill Alexis. Even if he's just bluffing, we can't take that risk. I'll go tonight to see exactly what he wants. I'm not going to the rest of classes today. Tell the teachers this is a very important issue, one of life and death. I need to spend the rest of the day working on my deck..." With that he got up and departed from the cafeteria.
Chiaki, Jaden,Syrus, Chazz, and Kaito looked at each other for a moment, and then ate for the rest of the period in silence.
Later that day, 1 minute before sunset, on the outskirts of the woods.
Masato, who was alone,looked at his watch, and then the sun. He sighed and began running to the abandoned dorm. He looked up and then realized something; with all the trees in the way, it could look like the "sunset" has already happened! He could already be late! He began sprinting as fast as he could and then reached the abandoned dorm. "Huh?" he puffed; there was nobody there. "Oh yeah!" he said to himself as he remembered it was behind the abandoned dorm and we ran over there. There wasn't anyone there either. "Am I too late?" he wondered aloud.
"No, just on time," A voice said. Masato turned around and saw a guy drop down from the tree. He was wearing black boots, gloves, robes, and a black hood that covered his face. The only thing about him that wasn't black was his duel disk, which was a normal duelist academy disk. "Are you ready to duel?" he asked as his duel disk activated and folded out.
"You bet," Masato said as his duel disk did the same.
Masato: 4000; XXXX: 4000
(A/N: I'm using X's because ?'s won't show up in this case when I put 4 in a row. Oh, and I'm also going to refer to the person as XXXX.)
Both duelists drew five cards, and then XXXX said, "Y'know, I think I'll go first." He drew his sixth card(6), and then he set a magic/trap(5). "I'll summon Machine King Prototype in attack mode(4;1600/1500)! That ends my turn." A smaller and junkier version of Machine King arose before XXXX, a well as the back of a card.
Masato drew his card(6) and smiled. "I summon Deck Thief(5;1650/1500) in attack mode!" A black, ninja-like warrior appeared in front of Masato. "Now, go and attack his Machine King Prototype!" The thief launched forward as the prototype launched missiles. The thief easily avoided the missiles, but then the prototype launched a second volley which hit their target.
Masato: 3950; XXXX: 4000
"What happened!" Masato asked. "My thief should have destroyed your prototype!"
"Should've, would've, could've," XXXX said. "It doesn't matter! You see, I activated my trap, DNA Surgery! This changes all monsters to machine types, and as you probably know, my Machine King Prototype gains 100 attack points for every machine on the field excluding himself!"
"Alright then," Masato said. "I set a spell/trap(4) and end my turn!"
"My turn," XXXX said, drawing a card(5). "And now I tribute my Machine King Prototype, so summon the original Machine King(4;2200+100/2000), and he get the power boost from all machines on the field including himself! Now, attack!" The prototype grew until it was the normal Machine King. It then raised its arm and let out a volley of missiles at Masato.
"Activate trap: Sakuretsu Armor!" The missiles turned around and exploded on Machine King, destroying it.
XXXX laughed, "Thank you! Now I can activate this: Re-throne(3)! Because you've destroyed a machine king of some sort and I have no monsters left, I can remove Machine King from play to special summon a different machine king from my hand, and the one I choose is Perfect Machine King(2;2700/1500)!" When the smoke cleared a taller, more shiny machine king was standing in its place. "The only drawback is that next turn I cannot normal summon. But I don't think that that will be a problem with him on the field! I think I'll end my turn now."
"Hey, wait! I just realized something!" Masato shouted. "If you're here, then what's stopping me from just getting the police over here to arrest you, and then looking for Alexis?"
"Hmm... I thought you'd ask me that..." XXXX said. He took out a small box from his pocket that had a red button and a green button on it. "Right now there are two needles resting against her neck. One contains a poison, the other an antidote. By pressing this red button, I will release the poison into her. However, if you do something to change my mind, I can press the green button and the antidote will go into her and neutralize the poison. However, the antidote must be delivered in 30 seconds or else it will be too late. Oh, and another thing, the needle with the potion has 2 charges in it. However, the antidote only has one. So if I use the potion one, then the antidote, but then the poison a second time... there is no saving her."
"How do I know you're not bluffing!"
"Do want to take that chance?"
"No..." Masato gritted his teeth as he drew a card(5). Just then Syrus, Chazz, Kaito, and Chiaki came and stopped behind Masato. "Huh? What are you guys doing here!"
"You told!" XXXX yelled. "Now suffer the consequences!" He took out his little remote and began to press the red button
"WAIT!" Masato yelled. XXXX stopped his finger just before he was about to press the red button.
"You have five seconds," XXXX snapped.
"They were there when you sent me the message on my PDA!" Masato quickly explained.
After a moment, XXXX said "Fine" and took his finger away from the red button.
"Oh, wait. Where's Jaden?" Masato asked, noticing him missing.
"He is working on his deck, in case you lose and he has to duel," Kaito explained, a little embarrassed.
"Gee, thanks for the support," Masato replied sarcastically with a sweatdrop.
"Boy, Masato sure looks like he's in trouble," Syrus quietly commented to Chiaki, seeing how Masato had nothing and his opponent had a towering machine king.
"Yeah, but he'll pull through!" Chiaki whispered back. "After all, he is #1!"
"First I'll summon Injection Fairy Lily(4;400/1500) in attack mode!" Masato declared as the now mechanical nurse appeared on the field with her small needle as XXXX's Perfect Machine King's attack rose to 3200. "Now attack Perfect Machine King!"
"So you're going to pay 2000 lifepoints to cause me 200 points of damage? It's your loss! Perfect Machine King, counterattack!" The fairy charged at the machine as the Perfect Machine King unleashed a volley of missles, which hit lily and exploded. When the dust cleared, the only thing remaining on the field was DNA Surgery.
Masato: 3950; XXXX: 3800
"Hey! What just happened?" Syrus asked. "I'm totally lost. If Masato used Injection Fairy Lily's effect, shouldn't Masato have lost 2000 lifepoints?"
"In the words of him," Masato sneered, "Should've, would've, could've. You see, I activated my spell, Medical Emergency(3)!" He explained. holding up the card. "It lets me use the effect of my Injection Fairy Lily without the cost, but then she's destroyed. So to end my turn I'll set a spell/trap(2)!"
"All right Masato!" Kaito, Syrus, and Chiaki cheered.
Chazz just sneered and said, "If I were dueling, I would have this guy beat by now!"
"Chazz, don't lie. It's bad karma," Chiaki said as Kaito and Syrus silently laughed and Chazz gotan anger vein.
XXXX drew his card(4) and said, "Perfect, just the card I needed. I summon Cyber Phoenix(3;1200/1600) to the field in attack mode!" In a burst of flame, the metal bird appeared on the field and screeched at Masato. "And if that face-down card you have would target my phoenix, it won't work becuase as long as my phoenix is in attack mode all spell and traps that would target a machine are negated!"
"Then it's a good thing it doesn't target," Masato said, activating his trap. "I play Threatening Roar, to prevent you from attacking this turn!"
"Okay then," XXXX said. "Seeing as I have nothing else to do, I'll just end my turn."
"And that means it's mine!" Masato shouted, drawing a card(3). Inspecting his hand, Masato said, "All I can really do is set a monster(2) and end my turn. Your move." The back of the card appeared in front of Masato.
Chiaki glanced at Syrus and saw he was just staring at Cyber Phoenix. "Is something wrong?" She asked.
"No..." Syrus said. "It's just that Cyber Phoenix seems a little fa-Oh yeah! Now I remember! Masato! Watch out! If you destroy Cyber Phoenix he'll get to draw a card!"
"Huh? How do you know that?" Masato asked.
"Zane showed it to me last week when he and Jaden were helping me on my deck," Syrus explained.
"Zane," Masato sighed. "If only he were dueling. I bet with his Cyber Dragon's he'd have pulverized you by now!"
"Oh, I doubt that," XXXX said.
"And why is that?" Masato questioned.
"Because," XXXX chuckled, taking down his hood as everyone gasped. "I am Zane. Now let's see what we got." He drew a card from his deck(4) and began laughing hysterically. "Well, I just drew the ultimate card of your demise! Prepare to lose!"
To Be Continued...

Anyway, that's it for this chapter! I hoped u enjoyed it! And next chapter Zane's new card comes into play! What will happen? Find out next time! Oh, and when syrus says "Cyber Phoenix seems alittle fa-" "fa-" was going to be familier but then he remembered.(oh, and as with last chapter, I will put in a "preview" of the next chapter once the next chapter is finished, just so I don't give away what his card is. Oh, and if anyone can guess the name of Zane's new card correctly by a blind guesss without any clues I'll give them a nice surprize! (just put ur guess in ur review))
EDIT: Next chapter up, preview put in!
Masato: I'm facing Zane? I can't believe it! And his shadow card isa version of his favorite monster; it's the Cyber Darkness Dragon. And even though it has a few extra attack points and a minor ability, I'll still beat it! But wait... If it is a version of Cyber Dragon, does that mean it has fusions like Cyber Dragon? Well, I certainly hope not! I'll just have to beat Zane before I find out! And watch me do just that next time, on Chapter 16: Clash of the Titans! Part II: Rise of the Cyber Darkness Dragon
