disclaimer: Do Not Owe Yugioh GX!

notes: none for now! The Semi-finals are here! Here it is...

"Today's the big day, huh Jaden?" Syrus asked as Jaden nodded as they were back at the Kaiba Dome to see who was battling who for the semi-finals. "We already know who's battling in the semi-finals Syrus. We don't have to find out," Chazz murmured as Syrus and Jaden glared at him.

"Welcome everyone! To the Semi-finals! We are here to see who's dueling who in this round!" Roland cried as he pressed the button the computer, the others waited anxiously to see who was going against who.

1) Zane Trusdale vs. Jaden Yuki

2) Chazz Princton vs. Atticus Rhodes

"Well, whaddya know? I guess our predictions were right," Jaden said as Zane sighed. "I'm going to go with Atticus you guys. Good luck on your duel Jaden," Alexis said as Jaden nodded and the group watched Atticus, Chazz and Alexis go towards there destination where the duel was being held.

The others also followed Jaden and Zane as they went to there destination for there duel. "Are you worried Jaden?" Zane asked as he was facing Jaden at there dueling arena, "what? Of course not! This is going to be like last time," he said smiling as Zane smiled. "You mean loosing right?" He asked as Jaden glared at him.

"Why don't you go first Jaden?" Zane suggested as Jaden shrugged and he drew, "very well. I'll play, Graceful Charity! I'll discard two but I'll draw three," he said as Zane waited. "I'll put Friendog in defense mode! I'll also play two cards face down, ending my turn," Jaden said as he looked up at Zane with a smile.

"All right. I'll play Mystical Space Typhoon on your left card!" Zane said as the card was destroyed which was Negate Attack, "Cyber Dragon I'll summon him onto the field!" Zane said as Jaden know what was coming, "Cyber Dragon! Attack his Friendog!" He said as Friendog was destroyed.

"I'll get one monster from my graveyard thanks to Friendog's special effect and put it my hand. Also, I'll activate Hero Signal so I could special Summon Elemental Hero Elixier!" Jaden said as Zane nodded, "it's still my turn Jaden. I'll put one card face down on the field, ending my turn," he said slowly.

"Cyber Dragon is dead in it's next turn," Syrus said as Chumley agreed, "since he attacked, he can't switched it to defense mode then," he said. "Next I'll go and put Elemental Hero Sparkman in attack mode! I'll attack your monster with Elixier!" Jaden said as Zane's monster was destroyed and his life points were now 3200.

"I'm not done yet! I'll attack you directly with Sparkman! Your life points are now 1600," Jaden said as Zane didn't flinched. "Are you done?" He asked as Jaden put a card face down ending his turn, "I'll activate Pot Of Greed! It draws me two cards! Also, I'll summon Cyber Dragon on the field and I'll activate Call of the Hunted!"

"I think I know what your going to do Zane. But Elixier has 2900 attack points," Jaden said as Zane smiled, "I'll fuse my two monsters together to bring out Cyber Twin Dragons! I'll also go and use Limiter Removal on Cyber Twin Dragon making it's attack points 4200!" Zane said as Jaden laughed nervously.

"Now Cyber Twin Dragon! Attack Jaden's Elixier!" He said as Jaden activated his trap card, "Invinicible Hero! My monster isn't destroyed but it takes damage points away from my life points," Jaden said as his life points are now 6700. "I'll also put a card face down ending my turn," Zane said as Cyber Dragon is now destroyed, "sweet! You just made a huge mistake Zane!" Jaden said happily.

Syrus sighed, "when will he ever learn?" He murmured as Chumley chuckled. "I'll fuse my two monsters, Sparkman and Clayman, to bring out Elemental Hero Thunder Giant! Now, I'll attack both my monsters directly at your life points!" Jaden said as Zane activated his trap card.

"Mirror Force," he said calmly as Jaden's monsters were now destroyed, "I'll put this card face down ending my turn," he said as Zane drew. "Next I'll play Premature Burial to bring back Cyber Twin Dragon," he said but then Jaden activated his trap card, "Solemn Judgement. Cancelling your magic card and I have to pay half my life points," he said as his life points are now 3350.

Zane smirked, "that was a decoy," he said slowly as Jaden blinked. "What does he mean?" Syrus asked, "he used that magic card so he could let Jaden use his trap card so he could now use the real thing," Bastian explained. "Monster Reborn!" Zane cried as Cyber Twin Dragon was now onto the field again, "attack his life points directly!" He said.

Jaden's life points were now 1250, "so Jaden, are you still thinking that your going to win?" Zane asked as Jaden nodded. "I'll put one card face down ending my turn," he said as Jaden drew, "I'll play Heavy Storm! Destroying all magic and traps on the field!" He said as Zane glared at him.

"I'll play Dark Hole to destroy your monster Zane!" Jaden said as Zane gasped, his life points were 2400 thanks to Premature Burial, now he was vulnerable for an attack that may destroy him. "Next I'll activate Monster Reborn, to bring back Elemental Hero Elixier! Go and attack Zane's life points directly!"

Zane didn't scream nor yell as his life points went down to zero as he sat on the ground saying nothing, "big brother!" Syrus said worriedly as the group ran towards him. "Are you all right, Zane?" Bastian asked as Zane looked up at everyone, "I'm fine. Jaden defeated me fair and square," he said as Jaden helped him up.

"We should check out Chazz and Atticus duel to see how they are doing," Chumley suggested, "yea. I want to see if I'm dueling against Chazz next. After all those times we dueled," Jaden said excitedly as Chumley smiled. The group left as they went to go and see the duel that will encounter who's going to duel Yugi.
