I've reached a bit of writers block on my fanfiction "The Real GX" so I appologise to anyone who likes that story.

However I will move on with this one, for now.

Lets see how this turns out.

"There are no accidents. We have not come here by chance. I do not believe in chance."-Morpheus

Disclaimer: I don't own Yu-Gi-Oh GX.

My name is Rebecca Lancaster, Alchemy duelist, and I get some of the highest grades in the school.

I also have a twin sister, but we are a lot different, Renee is calm and calculated, using 6 different decks, each one very potent.

Now the forces of Alchemy and Science must join forces...

If we want to help our friends.

A DIVIDED HEART
CHAPTER 4:

ROYAL DECREE
0000000000

00000

Its a few days after Summer and Marie dueled, they have become good friends by now, especialy since Marie openly hates both Warren and Hawthorne.

"Ah swear, if it wouldn't get meh in trouble, Ah would've thrown them both in tha ocean by now," she says with a small chuckle. "At tha same time."

Something in her tone says that she could do it.

Then their PDA's go off, telling them that they are summoned to Seto Kaiba's office.

Nervously, the 4 girls walk towards the Chancelor's office.

000

They enter the office, Seto Kaiba stands up, a woman wearing a black cloak is sitting off to the side.

"I'm glad you could make it," Kaiba says. "There is an upcomming tournament, one that will require 5 duelists from all the top academies in the world to compete, we naturaly have already decided on three, Summer, Marie, and the top duelist in the Academy, Marissa Sanders. However, that leaves us two short, so Professor Tepes here..."

"I suggested that we test Renee and Rebecca Lancaster, in a Tag Team match," the woman says in a transylvanian accent. "My appologies, I am Camilla Tepes, the Duel Theory teacher."

She looks over Renee and Rebecca.

"I must say this, your deck types are a bit mismatched, but I'm sure we can work something out."

"Fine," Renee says.

"We'll do our best," Rebecca says.

"You better hope you do," Kaiba says. "You have until tomorrow to prepare, and then you will duel the tag partners we have chosen for you."

The twins nod, and the 4 friends leave the office.

000

Later, Summer and the twins are in the Obelisk Cafeteria for supper, Marie has returned to her dorm.

"Who do you think that Professor Tepes will have you duel?" Summer wonders.

"Knowing her, she will most likely send the usual team she sets up," Rebecca says.

"Tepes has a lot of connections in the Dueling World, including with some of the best in the world," Renee says. "And she's also the head of the Disciplinary Action Force, some say that the students that try to get away from her, are never seen again."

"And she's highly sensative to light, so she rarely comes out during the day, her class is held at night," Rebecca says. "She usualy comes out during the day in that black cloak, some are saying she's a vampire."

"You girls wouldn't be talking about me, would you?" A voice from behind them asks, they gasp, and turn to see Professor Tepes. Instead of her cloak, she is wearing a dark purple dress, without her hood, her long green hair falls down to her waist, she eyes the three girls suspitiously.

"Sorry Professor..." Summer starts.

"Please Summer, call me Camilla," Camilla says. "Your one of the best duelists at this school that I've seen since, I don't know, Jaden Yuki."

"You know Jaden Yuki?" Summer says in suprise.

"Yes, I know him, very lively chap, a little too energetic if you ask me," Camilla says. "Well, I will see you all tomorrow at the duel."

"She creeps me out," Summer says, watching Camilla leave. "And she loks familiar somehow."

"Its probably nothing, so what deck are you going to use this time, sis?" Rebecca asks.

"Huh?" Summer says.

"Oh, I have six different decks, each one of a different attribute," Renee says, looking through her decks. "Hmm, my Earth Deck will do."

000

Its the next day, and Camilla, back in her cloak, is doing the commentary for the duel.

"Now today we shall see who will represent our academy in the upcoming Interschool Team Tournament," she says. "On this side, we have the twins Renee and Rebecca Lancaster!"

The twins blush as the students cheer.

"And their opponents, considerably two of the best Tag Team Duelists since the Paradox brothers, Ryan and Rika!"

A man and a woman, wearing similar black leather outfits, the man with short black hair and the woman with long blonde hair, stand on the opposite side of the arena.

"The order will be as follows, Renee will go first, followed by Ryan, then Rebecca, and will end with Rika," Camilla says. "Now let the duel begin!"

She jumps down from the platform as the duelists activate their Duel Disks.

Rebecca draws. "I summon Wandering Mummy (1500/1500)!" She says, and a mummy-like zombie appears. "Two cards face down, and I will end."

"My turn then," Ryan says. "And I summon Sonic Bird (1400/1000), in attack mode!" He says, and a winged-beast appears. "Now I can add a Ritual card to my hand from my deck," he says, and takes a card out of his deck. "Now, I activate the magic card Dark Designator, and I will have it target my sister, do you have Garma Sword in your deck, sister?"

"Yes I do, thanks," Rika says, and takes a card out of her deck.

"Now, I use the magic card, Ritual Cross, this card can only be used in a Tag Team match, it makes it so player's can use their partners cards that are in the hand or deck for card effects!"

A cross appears under their feet.

"Now, I activate the magic card, Garma Sword Oath, and I will sacrifice my Sonic Bird, and if Rika would be so kind..." Ryan says.

"Sure thing, I will sacrifice my Pitch-Black Warwolf from my hand for Ryan's ritual card," Rika says, discarding a card.

The werewolf, and the bird dissapear into a portal.

"Now we can summon this monster, the mighty Garma Sword (2550/2150)!" Ryan says, and a warrior with six arms appears, each arm brandishing a sword. "That will end my turn."

Rebecca draws. "I place this card face down, and activate the magic card, Chaos Distill!" She says, and some sort of chamber appears behind her. "Now I use the magic card, Tin Magic Panel, this lets me summon this monster, Alchemic Being Tin Aitos (500/100)!"

The card burns in the Distill, and a metalic bird appears.

"Now I activate two more cards, Iron Lamp and Lead Compass, letting me summon two more Alchemic Beasts, Iron Salamander and Lead Lion (500/100 X 2)!"

A metalic reptile, and a greenish lion appears.

"Now I use my Quick Attack Magic card, so my Alchemic Beasts can attack right now, and get this, they can attack you directly!"

The three monsters charge at the siblings, and their life points fall to 6500.

"And with that, I will end my turn."

Rika draws. "I summon Senju of the Thousand Hands (1400/1000), in attack mode, and this card lets me add a Ritual Monster to my hand," she says, and takes a card out of her deck.

"Fascinating, its clear tha' their strategy revolves around Ritual Monsters, Ryan has tha spell cards, an' Rika has tha monsters," Marie says. "An' tha' Ritual Cross card just makes it worse for Rebecca an' Renee. Especialy since Ritual Cross lets a player use a spell card in their partner's hand once per turn."

"Now I activate this card, my own Dark Designator, and I will target my partner with it, do you have Curse of the Masked Beast in your deck?" Rika says.

"Why, yes I do," Ryan says, and takes a card out of his deck.

"Now, with the effect of Ritual Cross, I will activate Curse of the Masked Beast from my partner's hand!" Rika says, and the altars appear before them. "Now, I sacrifice Senju and if you would please, brother."

"Very well, I sacrifice my Mirage Dragon," Ryan says, discarding a card.

The two monsters appear on the altar.

"Now, I can summon a fiend known as The Masked Beast (3200/1800)!" Rika says, and a huge red ugly fiend appears. "Now, attack her metal bird!"

"Reveal trap card, Elemental Absorber, by removing a card in my hand from the game, I can negate your attack, as long as its the same attribute as the attacking monster!" Rebecca counters, and discards a card. "So I discard my Homoculous the Alchemic Being, using his effect to change his attribute to dark, and I negate your attack!"

"Fine, I end my turn," Rika says.

Renee draws. "I activate the field card, Ancient City, of course this also means that your Ritual Cross card is destroyed, and I know for a fact that its a limited card!"

The cross dissapears, and an anctient city appears around them.

"Now I sacrifice my Mummy for this monster, Ancient Giant (2200/1100) in defense mode!"

A huge rock-man appears kneeling.

"Now, I reveal my trap card, Zero Gravity, switching the position of all our monsters!"

Ancient Giant raises to attack mode, while The Masked Beast, Garma Sword, and the three Alchemic Beasts kneel in defense mode.

"Now I use the eqiup card, Double Barrel, this equips to my monster, and lets him attack twice, but all damage he does is halfed, so my Ancient Giant will attack both your monsters!" Renee commands, and the rocky giant strikes both monsters. "Now I will place one card face down, and end my turn."

Ryan draws. "I will place one card face down as well, and summon Manju of the Ten Thousand Hands (1400/1000), in defense mode, allowing me to add a ritual monster or magic card to my hand," he says, and takes a card out of his deck. "I will end my turn there."

Rebecca draws. Alright, I gotta start where Renee began, and I might have a way to do it, she thinks. "I activate the magic card, Swords of Revealing Light!"

A wall of swords fall around Ryan and Rika.

"Now I activate Copper Scales, summoning Alchemic Beast Copper Ouroboros (500/100)!"

A snake-like monster appears.

"Now I switch my other monsters to attack, my Alchemic Beasts, direct attack!"

The beasts hit the two Ritual Duelists again, and their life points drop to 4500.

"And I'll end my turn there."

Rika draws. "I summon my own Manju of the Ten Thousand Hands (1400/1000), in defense mode!" She says, and the fairy with a lot of hands appears. "And I will add a Ritual Monster to my hand, and I activate Exchange, this card lets me switch one card with my brother."

The two siblings walk over to each other, and trade cards.

"Their strategy is almost flawless," Marie says.

"Could you please not sound so impressed?" Summer asks.

"I will end my turn by placing one card face down," Rika says.

Renee draws. Its obvious what they are planning, since they lost their field card, they can't sacrifice each other's monsters, so they are resorting to trading cards so they may still use their strategies, but however I can't tell what ritual monster they will summon next, but no doubt it will be deadly, she says. "I set one monster in defense mode, and one card face down, to end my turn."

Ryan draws. Excelent, this is just what I needed, he thinks. "Now, I first activate Fulfillment of the Contract, and revive The Masked Beast!"

The masked fiend appears again, and their life points fall to 3700.

"Now I activate the ritual card, Doriado's Blessing, and I will sacrifice my Manju of the Ten Thousand Hands, to bring out Elemental Mistress Doriado (1200/1400)!"

A young woman in white clothing appears.

Oh no, now I know what they're doing, Renee thinks.

"Oh no!" Marie says. "They're going ta summon tha most powefull ritual monster in tha game!"

"One card face down, and I will end my turn," Ryan says.

Rebecca draws. "Alchemic Beasts, direct attack!"

The beasts hit again, and the Ritual duelists' life points fall to 1700.

"I end with a face down."

Rika draws. "I'll admit, your dueling skills are good, but even they pale in comparison to what I am about to summon, I activate the ritual card, Dragon Revival Ritual! This card requires that I sacrifice 5 monsters, one of fire, one of wind, one of water, one of earth, and one of darkness."

"And you have The Masked Beast, pluss Doriado counts as the other elements," Renee says.

"Very good, apparently you have done your homework," Rika says.

A pentagram forms under the two monsters, and they vanish.

A burst of darkness shoots up from the center of the pentagram, and the enormous 5-headed dragon appears.

"We have summoned, the ultimate Five Gods Dragon (5000/5000)!" Rika says, and the dragon's roar echoes throughout the entire arena. "Now, all your cards are destroyed!"

"Hold it, reveal magic card, Living Arrow, this card takes any effect that you use against us, and reverses it on you, destroying all cards but your dragon!" Rebecca counters, and after a blast, only the Five Gods Dragon remains on Ryan and Rika's side.

"Fine, I have to skip my battle phase and end my turn because of its effect," Rika says.

Rebecca draws. Awesome, I almost forgot I put this gal in my deck, she is exactly what I need right now, she thinks. "I place one card face down, and set a monster in defense mode, to end my turn."

Ryan draws.

"I activate my trap card, Taunt, now your dragon can only attack my face down monster!" Rebecca says.

"Fine, Five Gods Dragon, do your thing!" Ryan commands, and the dragon blasts away the face down monster, which turns out to be...

"D.D ASSAILANT?" Ryan and Rika say in shock.

"Thats right, and thanks to her effect, your monster is removed from the game," Renee says, and the Five Gods Dragon gets sucked into a portal.

"Uhh, I end," Ryan says.

"Time to end this game, Alchemic Beasts, direct attack!" Renee says, drawing.

The 4 monsters strike the Ritual Duelists directly, and they lose.

"Congradulations Renee and Rebecca, you two will be on the team at the Interschool Team Tournament!" Camilla says, to the roar of the crowd. And maybe finally the nightmare can end, she thinks.

000

The cards used by Rebecca are the same cards used by the Seventh Shadow Rider Ammnel/Banner.

Renee's cards where used by Apnarg Otom (or something like that) in the Grand Championships.

Five Gods Dragon and its ritual are of course from Merger of the Big 5.

And finaly, credit for the Doriado/F.G.D combo and the use of Living Arrow are moves borrowed from the Team World fanfictions by Charizardrag or something like that, sorry if I spelled his name wrong, but all credit goes to him.

Something is fishy about the teacher Camilla Tepes.

If you haven't figured it out by now, you will find out in chapter 5.

Next time, Camilla challenges Summer to a duel as a little pre-tournament practice, what Summer gets is one of the most difficult duels of her life. Don't miss, "Vampire Lady."

And 10 brownie points to whoever can figure out who Camilla is, or used to be.

Until next time, I bid you good-bye.
