The Digital Gate: Er...I wasn't sure about how to spell Suzy's name, so uh...I just chose one.
Disclaimer:I don't own Digimon or Yu-Gi-Oh GX, just Korosu Dragon, Sorako, and Chibi Dragon. If either of them are real, whoops.
The duel began. As it progressed on, Shuichon proved to be a skilled duelist even though her deck mainly consisted of magic and trap cards. In fact, the audience and the opponent had only seen 3, max.
Within a couple of minutes, the score was 2100 LP (dueling official) to 1100 LP (Shuichon). There were only three monsters out on the field. The official had Korosu Dragon (Attack: 2800 Defense: 1700) while Shuichon had Chibi Dragon (Attack: 100 Defense: 800) and Sorako (Attack: 2700 Defense: 2300). And it was the official's turn.
"My move," he smirked, drawing his card with a flashy gesture. "Now I play Stop Defense switching your Chibi Dragon to attack mode!" he shouted, baring his teeth in what probably meant to be a grin of triumph.
Shuichon gave a grimace. "I know what it does." Her face, already white, had turned whiter.
"Good for you, moving on! Korosu Dragon, attack Chibi Dragon, NOW!" the official barked.
"I activate Chibi Dragon's special ability! It allows me to gain 1000 LP for every turn a level 6 monster has been out on my opponent's side of the field, which mean I now have 2100 life points."
The official sneered. "So what?" he asked. "Korosu Dragon's attack will still eliminate the rest of your life points."
"Unless I activate Wingweaver's special ability."
"Which is what?"
"I'm allowed to transfer however many attack points to another monster as long as I pay the exact amount of points in life points. And I choose to transfer over 1000 attack points. Now Chibi Dragon has 2100 life points."
The dueling official's brows furrowed as he calculated the amount. "What're you trying to do? Canel them out so that they're both destroyed? Clever, but it still won't take me out!"
Shuichon frowned. "Kinda impatient, aren't you?" she asked, "because I'm not done yet. I activate, Waboku!" A slight smile crossed the girl's face as the official's jaw literally touched the ground. "Which means Korosu Dragon is destroyed." Even as she spoke, Chibi Dragon on the field opened its mouth wide and obliterated its foe.
"My move," Shuichon drew a card and glanced at it. "Chibi Dragon! Attack!" The monster obeyed and the official's life points dropped to zero.
"And the winner is...Shuichon! Congratulations! And welcome to Duel Academy!" Chancellor Sheppard bounded on stage, seized Shuichon's hand and began pumping it continuously, never noticing the fact that she had gone limp with relief.
"I bet that the old official never saw that coming!" Jaden exclaimed. He had been on the edge of his seat the entire duel since Shuichon kept saving herself from constant would-be-KO's.
"Yes, yes, now settle down," Bastian said plaintivitly.
'Yeah, you're giving me a headache," Chazz snapped. Whether he wanted to admit it or not, he had been on the edge of his seat as well.
"Oh, and do us a favor--don't go and meet her," Alexis warned.
Jaden gave her a curious look and asked, "Why not?"
"Because you'll scare her, the way you're acting. One word and she'll be off to where she came from," Alexis replied.
"Good point."
Shuichon glanced around her. Seeing that no one was there, she flopped down on the ground and gave a small groan. As soon as the chancellor had done his best to wrench her arm off, they had given her the Slifer Red blazer and sent everyone off. At least the worst is over. Why can't I ever get over my stage fright? And why did it have to be so BIG? she asked herself. As she leaned back against the wall, running a hand through her sweat-soaked hair, a thought occured to her. I don't even know where the Slifer dorm is!.
"Hey, there!"
Shuichon's eyes leaped open as she nearly jumped a foot in the air.
In front of her stood a boy with brown hair. He had a grin that stretched from ear-to-ear.
Shuichon blinked. "Er...hi..?"
"The name's Jaden! Jaden Yuki! Nice to meet you!"
"Nice to meet you, too..." Shuichon replied in kind, her face blank.
"You're Shuichon, right? Great duel!"
"Thank..you..?" Who is this kid?
"Jaden! There you are! We've been looking for you!"
"Hey Syrus!" Here he turned back to Shuichon. "This is Syrus, my best friend."
"That's very ..nice?" Her face was as blank as ever.
"Jaden! You need to slow down!" Syrus scolded. Turning to Shuichon, he held out his hand. "My name's Syrus, Syrus Truesdale. Sorry about Jaden, he can be a bit hyper-active at times."
She reached out and tentatively shook it. "So I've noticied."
"You're Shuichon Wong, right? I couldn't quite catch what Dr. Crowler said."
Shuichon nodded slightly. "Yeah, but most people call me Suzy."
"Great! Now let's go meet the others!" Jaden grabbed her by the wrist and yanked her up. Then he took off.
"Hey! Wait!" Syrus quickly shot after them, their footsteps pounding in the hallway accompanied by Suzy's shouts of protests as Jaden continued to drag her.
Sitting against the building outside, Bastian's ears picked up something. "What's that sound?" he asked.
"What sound?" Chumley sat up with a grunt.
"It sounds like..." Here Bastian paused.."Like...yelling," he finally finished.
"Yelling?" Alexis's eyebrows cocked in disbelief. As soon as she finished, Jaden burst through the hallway and out into the open. With him came Suzy and Syrus. Suzy, having been dragged, was out of breath. Syrus had provided the yelling to Slow down! and was too, out of breath.
"Hey guys," Jaden greeted cheerfully.
"This kid...is he always so forceful?" Suzy managed to ask through long breaths of air.
"Who? Jaden? Yeah, sort of." Alexis rolled her eyes. She glanced at the panting Syrus and at Suzy. "What happened to you two? And why is Jaden grinning like that?"
Syrus flopped on the ground. "He dragged us through the building. And why he's grinning like that...no clue."
"Anyway, my name's Alexis Rhodes. Nice to meet you."
Suzy inclined her head. "Shuichon Wong. I'd rather be called Suzy."
"Whatever you call her, she's still the same brat on the inside."
Suzy turned and saw the person who had spoken up. It was Chazz.
Alexis turned as well. "Oh, that's just Chazz," she told Suzy. "Don't mind him," she added as an afterthought.
Suzy gave a shrug, as if she didn't care about the intruder at all. For some reason, this angered him. Walking up to her, he seized her collar. "Yes?" Suzy asked, strangely calm.
"Listen, you, I'm in Obelisk Blue. Know why?" he demanded softly, a tone of voice that meant the owner should not be trifled with.
"Put her down, Chazz!" Jaden ordered, apparantly over his 'hyper' phase.
He ignored him. "Well, do you?" he asked again.
Suzy gave a shrug. "Because...you're both ugly and blue?" she guessed.
"Yes! I mean no!" Chazz quickly corrected himself, but the words had already taken effect. Jaden, Alexis, Chumley, anyone who had heard it was either laughing, or beginning to. Furious, he turned to the soon-to-be-Slifer. "No one insults Chazz Princeton and gets away with it!" he hissed. "You got that?"
"Say it, don't spray it." Her words only angered him even more. And to top it off, she felt a sneeze coming on. Ugh...bad timing..
"Did you not hear me? I said-"
"I hate to interrupt, but-" Suzy began to say when Chazz cut her off.
"If you hate to interrupt, then why did you?" he snapped.
"Because I-"
"Because you what?"
"If you would let me finish!"
"You're not saying anything until I finis-"
"AH-CHOO!" Suzy sneezed. Loudly. Unfortunately for Chazz, she wasn't able to sneeze in her hands and cover the shower of germs. Fortunately for her, he let go. Although it was because of the fact that her sneeze got in his face. He staggered back, trying to wipe his face clean of..the things that come out of sneezes.
"Gross!" Chazz was desperatly trying to rid his face clean. Suzy looked apologetic and guilty.
"Sorry...that always happens when I sneeze. It always tends to be 'widespread' so to speak." She paused, then began again, "I try to warn the person if there is one, but the majority of them don't listen."
"Like Chazz," Jaden muttered under his breath. Chazz appeared to have heard it and sent a death glare his way.
"What percent do?" Alexis asked, out of plain curiousity.
Suzy thought it over. "30." She turned to Chazz. "Need a tissue?" she asked, offering one to him.
Chazz glared at her. He snatched it. Turning away, he quickly mopped his face. "Let's have a duel."
"What?"
He turned to face Suzy. "I said, let's have a duel."
"What? Chazz, she's a new student!" Jaden protested.
"So what?"
"Fine."
"What?" All heads (beside Chazz and Suzy) swiveled to look at her.
"I said, fine."
Chazz smirked. "Then let the duel begin."
