Chapter 4

Disclaimer: I don't own Yugioh GX

Author's Note: Phoenix, Ding Ding Ding. I will be leaving more hints that will explain what exactly is going on. Thank you for everyone who reviewed.

"Tyriel! Wake up: shouted Bastion to a sleeping Tyriel. Tyriel slowly sat up and he yawned.
"What?" he said Sleepily.

"You have to duel today!" said Bastion as he urged him to hurry up.

"What?" he said again.

"I see you slept in your clothes, just hurry up, pick your duel disk and lets go!" shouted Bastion as he pulled him off the bed.

Tyriel slowly stood up and picked his duel disk and deck. He started walking but Bastion pulled him faster. He noticed it was night, he must have only been a sleep for an hour.

"What time is it?"

"It's 10 PM "

"What is going on?" asked Tyriel as they slowed down.

"Well, Dr. Crowler and Chancellor Shepard decided to have a bet."

"What's this have to do with me?"

"Well the bet is they are going to get someone to duel you. If you win, then Chancellor wins the bet, and if you lose Crowler wins."

"Why me?"

"Because Crowler thinks you are all talk and no game. And for some reason Chancellor thinks the opposite."

"Hmm so who am I dueling?"

"We are about to find out." said Bastion as they arrived to the courtyard.

At the courtyard there were several people there, in the middle was Crowler and Shepard.

"Greetings Chancellor, Dr. Crowler" said Tyriel.

"A thousand apologies Tyriel, I didn't mean to wake you, but if you could just duel someone so you can show Crowler that you are more than what it seems." said Shepard

"Alright, so who am I dueling?"

"Your choice, Dr.Crowler" said Shepard with a smile.

"You will be dueling me." said Crowler.

"What! Dr.Crowler please, he is only a student." said Shepard.

"Easy Chancellor, Crowler doesn't know what he is getting into." said Tyriel.

"I know, I just don't want him to lose to another young man like he did with Jaden." Crowler was mad.

"No one mocks me like that. Lets duel!" shouted Crowler as he loaded his duel disk. He drew his cards and was ready to play , same with Tyriel.

"I play Ancient Gear Castle, and Ancient Gear Soldier!" said Crowler as a mechanical robot appeared with a giant castle behind him. "I will set one face down, I end."

Tyriel drew" Pathetic, I set a monster , and 2 face-downs. End"

"Pathetic? Ha! I will play a second Ancient Gear Soldier!" said Crowler as he second Robot was summoned.

"I activate Threatening Roar" said Tyriel as a giant roar appeared. The robots retreated.

"Fair enough, I will end." said Crowler.

"I summon Breaker the Magical Warrior!' said Tyriel as a magical knight is red armor appeared. His shield was trimmed with gold and a big sapphire in the middle with an insignia." When he is summoned he gets a spell counter, but that wont last long for I use to destroy your castle!"

Breaker position his sword aiming towards the castle. He started to glow as his insignia disappeared then a magical blast appeared from Breaker's sword and destroyed the castle.

"No!" shouted Crowler in rage.

"but that's not all, i flip my Apprentice Magician!" said Tyriel as a young magician appeared. "And because of his effect, i can give Breaker another, and with that i will destroy your other face down." A replay of last time happened destroying his face-down damage condenser.

"Now breaker, destroy one of Ancient Gear Soldier!" said Tyriel as Breaker shot a blast into the robot, destroying it." And with that i will end"

Crowler: 3700

Tyriel: 4000

"I play Graceful Charity" said Crowler as he drew 3 and discarded 2. "Ha! I will play Premature Burial on my Trojan Horse i discarded." A giant hand appeared and dig deep in the ground and grabbed Trojan Horse back.

Crowler: 2900

Tyriel: 4000

"I will offer the horse for Ancient Gear Golem!" shouted Tyriel as a giant machine appeared. Tyriel stared at it. It was identical to the one in Crowler's mind, but he knew this time it could hit him. His face downs were useless.

"That can't defeat me!" said Tyriel.

"True, but i can sure lower your life points. Golem, attack his Apprentice Magician!" said Crowler as the giant Golem shot from his giant cannon. The blast totally destroyed the apprentice and send Tyriel flying back.

Crowler: 2900

Tyriel 1400

Tyriel managed to stand up and started to talk." By destroying my apprentice magician, i get a Spellcaster and put it face-down." said Tyriel as he put a face-down Spellcaster.

"Doesn't matter, for i play Nobleman of Crossout on it." said Crowler as giant sword landed on the face-down card destroying Old Vindictive Magician and every other copy.

"No!" shouted Tyriel.

"Yes. I set 1 card and end." said Crowler.

"This is not good" said Bastion to Jaden

"I know, one Crowler gets that out is really hard to take it out. He might just lose" said Jaden

"I wouldn't be too sure, Crowler played it on you and you beat him"

"I suppose, look Tyriel is drawing" said Bastion as Tyriel drew.

Tyriel, however, was calm. He didn't seem to be worrying about anything, as a matter of fact he smiled.

"I play Pot of Greed! It allows me to draw 2 cards!" said Tyriel as he drew 2 cards.

"Now i play Graceful Charity" said Tyriel as he drew 3 and discarded 2.

"I play Masked Sorcerer! Then I play the spell Secret Passage to the Treasure! This allows my sorcerer to attack directly and i will!" said Tyriel as a masked sorcerer appeared. He had a metal mask and what seemed to be a hypnotic thing. He shot a blast and lower Crowler life points "and because of his effect i draw a card" added Tyriel.

Crowler: 2000

Tyriel 1400

"Hmm.. Card Destruction!" said Tyriel as he played it. Both of them discarded their hands and drew.

"Set 2 cards face-downs and end." said Tyriel as he sigh.

"Finally you stopped stalling, now time i finish you off. First i play Heavy Storm destroying your face downs!" said Crowler as giant storm appeared.

"I chain Book of Moon!" said Tyriel as giant Book appeared on the golem. The book flatted it into face-down.

"Grr, doesn't matter, for i play another Ancient Gear Soldier and he will destroy your sorcerer" said Crowler as a robotic soldier appeared and shot a blast at the magician.

Crowler: 2000

Tyriel: 800

"You are almost done, still think you are so good Mr. Stone?" asked Crowler mockingly.

"As a matter of face yes, you tried Crowler, but you were meant to lose from the beginning." said Tyriel

"Liar!"

"I don't lie. I remove 10 magic cards from my graveyard and i summon Shadow Magic Lord- Hadriel!"

Shadow Magic Lord-Hadriel 10 Stars

Spellcaster: Effect 3000/2600

This card cannot be normal summoned or set. This card can only be special summoned by removing 10 Magic cards from your graveyard or by the effect of a magic card. This card is unaffected by your opponent magic card and it gains 100 attack points for every magic card in your opponent graveyard.

The sunny day turned dark, at least for their were dueling. It seemed a giant shadow appeared as a dark portal opened. Everything was quiet as a silent figure entered cloaked with a Golden rod. Its chain made a noise as they were being scrapped as he walked. His golden necklace glowed as he walked into the field.

"What is that?" shouted Crowler in terror.

"It is the Lord of the Shadow Realm, and since you have at least 4 magic cards in your graveyard it makes Hadriel 3400 attack, stronger than your Golem. but that's not all! i play Nitro unit on your Golem!" said Tyriel as a giant backpack appeared on the giant robot. Tubes seemed connecting to each other sending some sort of gas around.

"Whets that?" asked Crowler.

"When your monster is destroyed in battle, you lose life points equal to his attack."

"Oh no!"

"Oh yes,Hadriel destroy him!" said Tyriel as the figured raised his staff and blasted the Golem to pieces. The Nitro-Unit exploded as well inflicting 3000 damage to Crowler.

Crowler: 0

Tyriel: 800

"No!" shouted Crowler "I will have my revenge Tyriel Stone, I will!" shouted Crowler as he left in shame. The crowd cheered. As Tyriel step down, his friends went to congratulate him.

"That was great!" said Jaden.
"I knew you had something planned " said Bastion.

"I knew you could do it Tyriel. " said Alexis with a smile.

He stared at her. He noticed Bastion was watching but for some reason he didn't care. She is just so beautiful... thought Tyriel.

"Thanks Alexis...really." said Tyriel slowly regaining his sense. She giggled and looked at him funny. Even her laugh is beautiful thought Tyriel. Suddenly, something caught his eyes. In the distance, he noticed a figure was moving and in his hand was something golden. The Millennium Scale! thought Tyriel. He started to run but tripped on a rock. He fell and made Alexis fell as well. He fell on top of Alexis. He stared at her browned eyes. Up close they were even more beautiful. Alexis started to blush.

"Umm...Tyriel..." she started to say. He quickly realize that she was on top of her. He moved over and stood up. She also stood up. They both were red with embarrassment. It was an awkward silent.

"I think its late enough, and I kinda disturbed Tyriel's sleeping, so lets go." said Bastion.

"Umm, yeah sure, let's go?" said Tyriel with a tad doubt.

"Bye?" said Alexis with the same doubt.

As Bastion and Tyriel got to the room Tyriel sighed.

"Getting up to the plate I see?" said Bastion with a smile. Tyriel thought about telling him to shut up, but how would that help him?

"Just go to bed."

"Whatever, but you still owe me something" said Bastion

"Tomorrow, I just wanna sleep"

"Alright, night" said Bastion

Tyriel could only think of two things. Alexis, and the Millennium Scale.

A/N: While this chapter may seem a tad useless(at least the duel looks useless) but you will see it's not.
