Flames of Defeat

Draco, Alexis and Bastion began their search for Dr. Crowler, to tell him the news, getting permission from the Chancellor to have the day free of classes while they looked for Crowler, not having any success. Alexis tried leaving a text message to find the Doctor, but to no success. As they search, they stayed in touch through texting.

"Damn it, where the hell is that bastard?!" Draco growled, spending a good hour and a half searching.

During the events of yesterday, after Bastion had his meeting with Crowler and the next class started, Chazz amusingly sat in a chair among the other Obelisk, looking as smug as ever, before one familiar Obelisk scoffed at where Chazz was sitting.

"Where do you think you're sitting at, Reject?" Zachery mocked, causing Chazz to glare at him, before chuckling.

"You know exactly where I'm sitting, dumbass." Chazz mocked back, "I'm sitting in my assigned seat."

"Heh, You're the dumbass." He replied, "Seeing how you can't even read. It clearly says 'Unassigned' right in front of you."

Chazz laughed at the Obelisk before sitting up, "No wonder you were defeated so easily by a Slacker. It says right there—What?!"

Chazz looked at the digital name plate that was displaying "UNASSIGN" in front of him, "What the fuck?!"

"Your seat is down there, dumbass." Zachery mocked to Chazz pointing behind himself and more towards the front of the class.

"You are fucking retarded, Zachery!" Chazz snapped out, "That area is for the Ra's and loser!"

"Which you are one." He simply said, "After all, you were humiliated when you lost to that Slacker in front of the whole Academy."

"A true disgrace to the Obelisk dorm." One girl said, "I recall all of you lost to that Slifer Scum as well!" Chazz snapped.

"Mr. Princeton!" Dr. Crowler called out, "Stop causing a ruckus and take your assigned seat!"

"Tell these losers that!" Chazz yelled back, "Cause, I am in my assign seat!"

"Your assign seat is with the Ra Yellow for a reason, boy!" Crowler snapped, "Because if you fail to win a duel tomorrow, that will be your future dorm!"

"What?! You're demoting me?!" Chazz snapped, in disbelief, "For what reason?!"

"Well, let's see," Crowler replied sarcastically, "How about the fact you failed at defeating a Slifer Slacker, not once but twice!? So, the fact is your skills has been slipping, if you lose the duel I have arranged tomorrow, you will be demoted and the Ra student that beats you will take your place in the Blue dorm."

Chazz looked shocked to the news before storming out of the classroom, not taking the class. After storming down the hall for a bit, Chazz looked out the window he stopped at, before letting out a rage filled yell, banging his hand into the glass, cracking it.

"Fuck!" he yelled out, "My life is fucked! All because of the damn, fucking, nobody, Slacker!"

Chazz muttered and cursed at the mere mention of Draco's name, which was pretty much anywhere he went, until he actually started to hear Draco's voice nearby. Leaning over a corner, Chazz glared at the Slifer, talking to Syrus, Bastion and Alexis. His eyes filled with hatred to the Slifer, before he overheard the conversation.

"So, what is it you need our help with Bastion?" Draco asked.

"Well, it's more for you and Syrus really." He replied, "Just thought it would nice to do some 'guy time' as it is called."

"I don't seem to have a problem with that." Syrus chimed, "Neither do I." Draco added, "Alexis think you can finish giving Blair a tour of the Academy?"

Chazz grind his teeth at Draco talking to Alexis as his equal, "I wouldn't mind at all." She replied, "And I think having me to be the guide would keep the other Obelisks at bay."

"What exactly will we be doing?" Syrus asked, "We'll need to repaint my dorm room." Bastion replied, "I would like for the paint to dry, before my special promotion duel tomorrow."

Chazz's eyes widen before growling softly and walking away, before they could hear him, "Crowler's going to replace me with that lazy nobody?! We'll see about that. I'll make sure of it!"

Chazz kept his distanced and followed the three boys to the Ra Yellow Boy dorm, into the hallway and waited until he started to hear them "slack off" before walking to the dressers, and opening drawers left and right, closing them when he didn't find what he wanted until the final drawer held a deck, giving him a smirk before closing the drawer and fast walking out of the building, and making sure no one spotted him. After a good few minutes, Chazz looked at the deck, seeing Ring of Destruction and Vorse Raider amongst them.

"This is defiantly that loser's deck." Chazz said, "He used these cards to get into the Academy."

He smirked, walking away from the Yellow dorm before heading to the docks, "Best if I wait until nightfall. Don't want some scum to see me. Then again, no one comes down here."

"What are you doing down here?"

Chazz swung around, seeing Mai walking up to him, "You know for being 'one of the best' you seem to forget unless students have permission to be down here." Mai told him.

"Ever thought that maybe this is the only place where the best can get peace and quiet around here?" Chazz mocked the teacher.

"It's kind of attitude that you are on cracking thin ice." Mai told him, "If you were in Ra Yellow, you would be expelled by this behavior of yours."

Chazz laughed loudly at Mai's attempt to keep him in line, "Shows that you don't belong here at all." He told her, "You only have control of expelling the girls of Ra Yellow the worst you can do to everyone else is detention."

"Funny you said that." Mai said, glaring at him, "Tomorrow, after the classes end, I'll be seeing you for two hours in detention."

Chazz glares at Mai at the punishment, "You can't do that to me!"

"Oh, I'm sorry." Mai mocked, "I believe you said I can't expel you and the worst I can do is give you detention."

"You can't just give me detention for pointing something out!" Chazz yelled at her, "But I can give it to you for being disrespectful and back talking to me." Mai replied.

Both of them glared at each other down, "If you are still here, when I get back, it'll add another day of two-hour detention." Mai told him. She turned around and walked off and around one of the storage building. Chazz grit his teeth, growled out in frustration, looked at the deck he held, before just tossing or dumping the deck into the ocean.

"Fuck it all then!" he hissed, "If that damn Slacker didn't show up, this island would have been a paradise for the elites! But no, that Slacker Nobody had to fuck it all up! I'll start with his Yellow friend than on to his fellow Slackers, reminding them, that they are nobodies!"

After watching some of the cards sink into the ocean or get torn apart, chuckling at his work and walked off. It wasn't until hours later, that someone finally return to the docks, under the lonely light pole, Alexis stood there, staring out to the open sea, before looking down at a small pendant, one meant for a young girl. She held it tightly and close to her, closing her eyes, clutching the pendant before sighing out.

"You know, I have permission to be here." She said, "And I did it to be alone for a bit."

Appearing behind her, was her new friends, walking or hovering up to her, "Wow, able to sense us now." Vahraniik said.

"Guess some of Draco's skills has started to rub on her." Suraasven said, "It wouldn't be a surprised if they did."

"So, why did you come out here, Alexis?" Kulaas asked, "You seem sadden by something. Does it have something to do with that pendant?"

Alexis sighed out, knowing she couldn't hide it from them, "Yes, it is." She told them, holding the pendant out, "My brother got this for me when I was like eight. It doesn't fit me anymore but I've kept it with me."

"Isn't your brother one of the missing students of the Academy?" the Wind Princess asked.

"Yeah, he is." Alexis replied, looking up from the pendant at the three dragonesses looking at each other, which she noticed, "What? You three know something?"

"Not about your brother." Kulaas replied, "It's just…"

"Just what?" Alexis asked, "You didn't hear this from us." The Healer told her, "But, the Young Lord did say he was going to help find him."

"How is Draco going to help find Atticus?" She asked them.

"Well, in the Spirit World, the Dragon Guard is a Guild that takes up tasks for the residents there." Vahraniik told her, "The Young Lord has asked us at the end of the task or mission we are to ask anyone if they have seen him."

Alexis looked at them, trying to process what they told her, amongst other things going on in her head, "So, what kind of missions do you take?"

"Well Kulaas and I rarely go on missions since, we are princesses." Suraasven said, "But, Vahraniik has been on them."

"If there was a civil war with a tyrant or an illness outbreak, I would be taking care of the sick and injured." She replied, "If it did end up an illness, the Captain would have some of the Guards with me as escorts and to find the source of the illness."

"But my question is this, how are you helping me to find my brother?" Alexis asked them.

"Oh easy." Kulaas chimed happily, "Draco gave us a printed picture of your brother, and we had Kroluhaal, make copies of it in the Spirit World and we each carry one."

"And what makes you think Atticus is in the Spirit World?" Alexis asked them, "Well, nothing." Suraasven replied, "But you never know, we have had humans from your world trapped in the Spirit World."

"And with how you explained it to the Young Lord with what was left behind in that dorm," Vahraniik stated, "it does sound like some dark magic to transport him to a different world."

"The point is, Draco is helping you." Suraasven said, "You can only search for him or clues for him here in the Human World, we can search in both Human and Spirit World."

Alexie gave the ma small smile, wiping the tears from her watery eyes, "I… I need to find a way to thank Draco." She said.

"Just being yourself, is all he can ask for." The Healer replied, smiling back at her, then looking out at sea, "The sun will be coming up soon."

All of them looked out, seeing the light of the sun peering over the ocean, Alexis sighed out and began to walk back to her dorm, "At least, I ask for the day off of classes today."

Kulaas stopped as she looked into the ocean by the docks, feeling uneasy, "Guys, there's something in the water." She told them, they looked at her confused.

"Umm, it's called fish." Suraasven said, "You know, the living creatures that live in the ocean."

"No! Not fish!" The water princess growled, "Something that doesn't belong in the water!"

"Wouldn't that be what the humans call 'liter'?" Vahraniik asked, "Just look in the water!" Kulaas hissed.

Vahraniik and Suraasven looked at each other before sighing out and played along looking over the edge, "Hey, there is something in the water." The wind princess spoke up.

Alexis walks over to them and peers over and gasped out, "What the? Duel Monster cards?!"

"There seems to be enough for a complete deck." Kulaas stated, "Hey, there's something written on that Vorse Raider."

They all looked over at it, before Alexis spoke up, "I-I think this is Bastion's card." She said, "This is Bastion's deck in the water."

"He needs to know someone destroyed his deck." Vahraniik said, "Alexis, can you give him a call?"

She gave them a nod, pulled her PDA out and began to scroll through her friend list, before groaning out, "Damn it! I never added him, I could have sworn I did."

"Call Draco!" Kulaas suggested, "I'm sure he'll answer you. Even though it's later, or early, he'll know you wouldn't call at this time unless it's urgent."

"I hope you are right about that." She said, going through the friend list and pressed the screen to call Draco.

Up to now, they all were still searching for Crowler, Draco, Bastion and Alexis searched each office, class room, study hall- everywhere. Draco and Alexis ran into each other on the search, both of them panting out.

"N-no luck?" Draco asked, "I-I've looked in every room."

"Same here." She replied, I don't get it, when we don't want him around, he's everywhere."

"And when we do need that bastard, he's nowhere!" Draco finished, "That's it I'm getting us more help."

"You getting Syrus and Mana while I get Jasmine and Mindy?" Alexis asked.

"Better." He replied, "Rovit, Vonzun, Rahzun, Drake! Front and center!"

The four members of the Scouting group of the Dragon Guards appeared before them, kneeling with their heads bowed, "What do you need of us, Young Lord Draco?" they all asked in unison.

"We have been looking for Dr. Crowler for hours." Draco told them, "You all know what he looks like, find him, and report his location!"

The four acknowledged their task and each took off in a different direction from each other, leaving Alexis and Draco alone, "Hopefully they can find him faster than we could." He said.

"You think it was a good idea?" Alexis asked, "To find Dr. Crowler I mean."

"What better than those that others can't see and can go through walls?" Draco asked, "Besides those four never failed in locating anyone for years."

"Hope you're right about that." Alexis said, right before one of the four suddenly return, causing her to scream out, but not long enough for someone to hear as Draco covered her mouth.

"Young Lord, we found him." Rahzun said.

"Where is he?" Draco asked, removing his hand from Alexis as she panted out.

"He's in the battle arena."

"You mean the Dueling Stadium?" Draco asked, "Same thing." The Soldier replied.

"Also, did I not tell you all not to appear suddenly?" Draco asked, "Alexis is still getting use to all of you."

"Well, I'm sorry. I thought this was an emergency." Rahzun replied, "That human is in the center of this building."

Draco and Alexis looked at each other before groaning out and facepalming themselves, "The one place, we didn't look." He muttered.

"I think it's close to the time for Bastion to duel." Alexis added. Draco pulled his PDA out and texted Bastion wondering if he was heading for the stadium for his duel. He did get a respond saying he was and figured that's where Crowler was.

"Bastion is on the same page as us." Draco said, "He's on his way to the stadium."

"Let's meet him there and give him the friend support." Alexis stated, getting a nod from Draco. They both headed to the Stadium, meeting up with Syrus, Mana, Jasmine, Mindy and Blair, still wearing the cap.

"Hey, what are you guys doing here?" Draco asked them.

"Like we were going to miss a friend's promotion duel." Syrus replied, "And Mana told me you never came back after finding Blair."

"Plus, we might be getting a new Obelisk friend." Jasmine stated, "You all set, Bastion?"

"Not exactly." He replied, "But, there is no point in delaying the duel."

"Going in without a deck?" Draco thought to himself, "Unless there is something, he told us, that I'm forgetting?"

They walked into the stadium, seeing Crowler happily welcoming Bastion, before all eyes gaze on his opponent.

"You're the opponent?!" Draco growled, "That's right Slacker." Chazz mocked, "And this time that little threat of yours means nothing here."

"That just means you were the one that dumped Bastion's deck into the harbor!" Draco snarled back.

"What was that Slacker?" Crowler asked, "What I'm saying is that bastard stole Bastion's deck and threw them into the sea!" he replied.

"I saw the cards myself Dr. Crowler." Alexis stated, "Vorse Raider and Ring of Destruction was among them."

"How do you know that those weren't my cards?" Chazz asked, trying to cover his deed up, "I mean, those are pretty common cards."

"It is true, they are very common cards." Bastion agreed, as he pulled a small plastic bag, containing Vorse Raider, "However, I'm sure you also write advance equations on them as I do?"

This information got a grin on the friends and a stun look from Chazz, "Th-that still doesn't prove I threw them in the water!" he stuttered, "For all I know, you could have dropped them!"

"How could I?" Bastion asked him, "If I was asleep in Draco's dorm room, while mine was drying from the paint. And I did leave the deck, my Vorse Raider was in, back at the Yellow boy dorm in the hallway, however that was merely a prototype."

"HUH?!" all of his friends gasped out, "That was just a prototype?!" Draco questioned.

"Indeed." Bastion replied, "I don't keep my finish product in a place that can easily be stolen or harmed." He then opened his blazer up revealing six- yes six- deck boxes strapped to his chest, "I keep them close to my body at all times!" he said.

Draco then groan out, facepalming again, "Ugh, I feel so stupid." He said out loud, "He told us he made six decks."

"That is correct." Bastion told them, "And I think my FIRE Deck will work perfectly for this duel."

Bastion pulled the deck out of the red deck box and placed it into his duel disk, activating it as well, "You need six decks to defeat your opponents?! That's just weak!" Chazz mocked, "I only need one to win my duels!"

"You mean the same deck you lost with, twice against me?" Draco asked sarcastically, getting Chazz to glare at him.

"Alright enough of that!" Crowler barked, "Mr. Princeton and Mr. Misawa, it's clear you both are ready, so begin!"

"DUEL!"

Chazz LP:4000

Bastion LP:4000

"I'll start the duel off!" Chazz growled, drawing his card, "I'll active my Continuous Spell, Frontline Base!"

A Spell card appeared showing a large black dragon stand on top of a fortress with a black knight mounting it, "This card lets me Special Summon any Union monster from my deck when it's main counterpart is summoned." Chazz explained with a devious smile, "I now summon X-Head Cannon!"

One very familiar Machine monster appeared on Chazz's field, getting Draco to groan out, "I fucking hate that card."

X-Head Cannon

LIGHT Attribute Level 4

Machine/Normal

ATK/1800 : DEF/1500

"And now, thanks to Frontline Base, I Special Summon Y-Dragon Head from my deck!" Chazz announced, getting a second monster on the field.

Y-Dragon Head

LIGHT Attribute Level 4

Machine/Union/Effect

ATK/1500 : DEF/1600

"That's all for now, you Ra Reject."

"I hope you know, I calculated you to do exactly what you just did." Bastion told him, drawing his card, "Which means my victory is assured. I set one card face down and I also summon this monster face down as well."

Both his cards appeared with the back side of the cards up for all to see, the friends began to think what Bastion had plan. Chazz growled out, drawing his card and gave a wicked grin.

"Well, this is proof I am the better one!" he said cockily, "I summon Z-Metal Tank!" the last of the trio of the XYZ Machines appeared, revving its engine.

Z-Metal Tank

LIGHT Attribute Level 4

Machine/Union/Effect

ATK/1500 : DEF/1300

"Right to the formula to take you down, Chazz." Bastion stated, "I activate my Continuous Trap card, Imperial Iron Wall!"

"And just how is that going to help you?" Chazz asked sarcastically.

"It is very simple, Chazz." Bastion replied, "In order for you to summon your XYZ fusion monster, you have to banish them from the field."

"Your point?!"

"My Trap card prevents us from doing just that. We can no long banish cards."

Chazz looked at Bastion in complete dumbfounded, his entire plan ruin by one card.

"Hmm, I would have never thought of that." Draco commented, "I guess he does think ahead."

"So, you think you might lose to Bastion?" Alexis asked, "Maybe, maybe not." He replied, "We will see."

"I may not be able to summon my Fusions, but I can still attack you!" Chazz yelled out, "X-Head Cannon! Fire!"

The shoulder cannons took aim at Bastion's defending monster as it revealed itself, being a large UFO with fore holes at the bottom, right as four reptilian legs shot out followed by a head of a turtle.

UFO Turtle

FIRE Attribute Level 4

Machine/Effect

ATK/1400 : DEF/1200

The Machine fired upon the turtle, causing an explosion before Bastion just chuckled, "Why are you laughing?!" Chazz spat out, "You are defenseless now!"

"I am not defenseless, for by destroying my UFO Turtle, you activated its Special Ability, letting me summon a new FIRE monster to the field." Bastion told him, "And I doubt you will risk losing one of your monsters incase you find a way around my trap, I now summon my Solar Flare Dragon!"

A raging inferno erupted on Bastion's field before it took shape of a small fiery dragon, stone like horn and some down its back, the face and underside of it being that of molten brimstone, letting a fiery roar that shot small flame sparks from its mouth.

Solar Flare Dragon

FIRE Attribute Level 4

Pyro/Effect

ATK/1500 : DEF/1000

Chazz grind his teeth, hesitating to attack, "Grr! I end my turn!"

Bastion drew his card and gave a pleasant smile, "I summon my second Solar Flare Dragon." He said, as the second fiery dragon emerges sitting by its brethren, "And the best part, since they are each a separate Pyro monsters, you can't attack either of them."

"Are you joking with me?!" Chazz growled, "And there is more." Bastion chimed, "During the end of my turn, my two Dragons will burn 500 Life Points each, meaning you will lose 1000 Life Points, starting now."

Both of the dragons launched a fireball each at Chazz, making him groan out as he lost one-fourth of his Life Points.

Chazz LP:4000-3000

He growled out, drawing his next card, "I can do the same thing, smartass!" he snarled, "I activate Meteor of Destruction!" a large fireball came crashing on top of Bastion. He yelled out from the sudden surprise attack, panting out and coughing as the smoke cleared from him.

Bastion LP:4000-3000

"Man, that Chazz is ruthless." Syrus said.

"It's like he can't let a simple outsmarted plan on him go unpunished." Jasmine added.

"Or worse." Draco stated, getting them to look at him.

"What do you mean?" Mindy asked, "What I mean is, he can't stand a lower dorm student outsmarting him, believe it's wrong that a Yellow or Red could beat and outsmart a Blue." He replied.

"Think about it, he tried to use a trap to take control of my Special Summoned monsters, only to get pissed when the one that I did summon disables him from using his trap."

"I remember that." Mana said, "That was your monster Dinok right?"

"I think it was." Alexis added.

"I now summon V-Tiger Jet!" Chazz yelled out, getting the feline metal jet on his field, "And to Frontline Base I get W-Wing Catapult!"

V-Tiger Jet

LIGHT Attribute Level 4

Machine/Normal

ATK/1600 : DEF/1800

W-Wing Catapult

LIGHT Attribute Level 4

Machine/Union/Effect

ATK/1300 : DEF/1500

"And because of your cowardly plan, I can't attack! So, go and make your move!"

Bastion stared at the army of machines, drawing his card and gave a smile, "I activate Pot of Greed!" he announced, "I now draw two cards, giving me a total of six cards!"

He drew his two cards and looked at Chazz dead in the eyes, "I believe this is game over for you, Chazz."

"Like hell it is!" he spat back I have an army while you have you two weak serpents!"

"I activate my Spell card, Chemical Reaction!" Bastion yelled out. The spell card revealed a scientist covering his face while an assistant ran in the back ground from the beakers exploding from a fiery explosion.

"What the hell does that do?!" Chazz demanded, "As the name states if I have three "eddon" monsters in my hand, they are sent to the Graveyard, and all of the monsters on the field are destroyed, and we take damage equal to the strongest one's attack." Bastion replied.

Three monsters, one resembling a small bipedal dinosaur, made of some metal material, the other two being creatures of green gas, resembling pterodactyl, "I send my Carboneddon and my two Oxygeddeon from my hand to create the chemical reaction!" Bastion called out.

The three creatures began to glow as if combining before they all exploded, wiping the field clean of all cards, both of the duelists groan out as the fiery blast "burned" them.

Chazz LP:3000-1200

Bastion LP:3000-1200

"Fat load that did ya." Chazz coughed out, "You have no monsters on the field and none in your hand! I'll win on my next draw!"

"I'm afraid not." Bastion replied calmly, "I now activate my spell card, Bonding: CO2!" This final spell of Bastion's showed two beakers, one holding a green gas and the other a liquidized metal, being poured into the green gas.

"This card only works if I have one Carboneddon and two Oxygeddeon."

"Which you no longer have, moron!" Chazz mocked, "They are in your Graveyard."

"I never said they had to be in my hand or on the field." Bastion replied with a smug, "I can shuffle them back into my deck from the Graveyard."

The three creatures from the last spell reappeared, before melding together into an inferno, taking a life on its own forming into a large limbless creature, roaring out as it stared down Chazz, "I summon Fire Dragon!" Bastion announced, as his creature took its stable shape.

Fire Dragon

FIRE Attribute Level 8

Pyro/Effect

ATK/2700 : DEF/2700

"Holy shit." Draco muttered, "That is a literal fire Dragon."

"And all that is needed for Bastion." Alexis stated.

"Not again!" Chazz thought, "This can't be happening again!"

"Fire Dragon! Attack Chazz Directly and end this duel" Bastion ordered, "Inferno Blast!"

The large Fire Dragon roared out again, before launching a stream of flames, that engulfed Chazz, while he yelled out in the raging pillar of fire.

Chazz LP:1200-0

Draco smirked at the results as the rest cheered out on Bastion's victory, Chazz growled out falling to his knees and punching the ground in frustration.

"Well, that settles it then." Crowler spoke up, "Welcome to Obelisk Blue Mr. Misawa."

"I'm sorry Dr. Crowler." Bastion replied, "But, I'm not going to the Blue dorm."

"What?!" Crowler asked in shock, "But-but why are you turning the offer down?!"

"I can't believe I'm saying this." Syrus stated, "I agree with Crowler."

"Same here." Mana said shuttering at the agreement.

"I'm turning it down, because I'm not yet the best student." Bastion explained, before looking at Draco, who return the challenging smirk, "Until I defeat you in a duel, I won't be going to Obelisk Blue."

"That is a challenge I'll accept anytime, Bastion." Draco replied., seeing the spiritual swirl of fire and water around Bastion as well as the Fire Dragon and its counterpart Water Dragon snarling and growling at him as he sent out his own spiritual swirl of the White and Black Flames as a Blue-Eyes White Dragon and Red-Eyes Black Dragon snarled back at the rival dragons.

By the end of the class period, the boat to take Blair back to the Mainland anchored in the harbor as some staff members get the few things she had on the boat.

"I guess I owe you an apology." She said to Draco, "I looked up your score and the video of your duel with Zane."

"No need for that." Draco told her, "I knew you were in that obsessed fangirl stage, and wouldn't believe me, until you saw it yourself."

"Even though we did try to tell you about it." Syrus stated, "But we didn't push you to look at it."

"I know, I just didn't want to believe the best duelist I idolized, lost a duel." She replied.

The boat's horn blew out signaling it was ready to leave, "Well, guess this is good-bye."

"Not yet, I have something that might help your deck." Draco said, pulling five cards out and handing them to the young duelist. She turned them over showing them to be; Level Up, Searing Black Flame, Horus the Black Flame Dragon Lv4, Lv6 and Lv8.

"Why would I need these cards?" Blair asked.

"Well, Level Up can work with your Silent Magician Lv4." Draco explained, "Letting you summon Silent Magician Lv8 without having the Spell Counters. And the three Horus cards? Lv4 can't be turned against you, Lv6 is immune to all Spell cards, and Lv8 can negate and destroy all spells your opponent uses."

"And the Searing Black Flame?"

"Whichever Horus the Black Flame Dragon you have out, your opponent's monsters will lose attack and defense points equal to that one's attack power."

"In other words," Alexis added, to better understand the Spell, "the monsters could lose 1600, 2300 or 3000 attack and defense?"

"That's correct." Draco replied, "Also, Blair?"

"Yeah?" she asked, "You might want to try and find Silent Magician's counterpart Silent Swordsman Those two, work well together." He told her.

"Alright Blair it's time to go." Banner said, softly ushering her to the boat. She quickly got on board and looked over the side as the boat departed, waving bye to her friends as the wave back.

"I hope to see you guys next year!" she called out.

"By then, I hope your skills improve!" Draco called back.

"And I won't be the only Slifer Girl in the Friend Group!" Mana jokingly added.

"And Draco!?"

"Yeah?!"

"I hope to see you soon, my sweet prince!"

That comment made Draco freeze in place as several Guards appeared, jaws dropped open.

"D-did she just call him?" Rovit asked.

"I-I don't think it was literal." Kinbok replied.

They and Alexis looked at the frozen Draco as he blinked a few times, "THE HELL JUST HAPPENED?!"
