3. Battle Against Ra Yellow Student.
Kyu yawned, waking up to another morning. "Hide, what's today?" He asked.
"Thursday, not the week end yet." Hide said, closing his book. "You should really study."
"Study for what?" Kyu asked, putting on a clean uniform shirt.
"The test that's coming tomorrow." Hide said. "It's important that we study. By just not studying you could be reduced down to Osiris Red. And it also gives a chance for Osiris Red students to move up to Ra Yellow."
"Ra Yellow, I've barely heard of anyone from there yet." Kyu said, scratching his head while taking a bite of toast.
"They're far off from the other dorms. They're full of intellectuals." Hide said, packing his items in his book bag. "Come on, we don't want to be late for class."
Kyu and Hide arrived to class where Mimura was their teacher. He glared at Kyu, then looked nicely over to Genesis who winked.
Mimura found a small envelope on his desk with a Obelisk Blue seal on it. He opened it, seeing Genesis' signature on the top.
Mimura, if you really wanted us to stay, you'd better pair up Quartz and Kyu just for us! If you don't then we won't be happy, especially my father.
Mimura gasped, shoving the envelope in his desk. "Ok class! Let's begin" Mimura said, throwing off his uniform, revealing a jogging outfit.
"Oh no..." Sophia grumbled.
"Everyone to the locker rooms for an early work out!" Mimura said, blowing a whistle.
"Work out?" Kyu said, surprised.
"Yeah, see on our schedule it says Gym." Hide said.
Everyone were in lines of four, Hide behind Kyu. Kyu was tired and didn't want to run, slowing his line down. "Come on Kyu, put some effort in it." Hide whispered.
"I don't want to run, I don't see how running with improve our dueling abilities." Kyu drooped as he panted.
"Kyu, it's just step one, just do it." Hide said.
Genesis and Sophia took an early break, running over to the bleachers for a drink. All the guys awed at their presence, whispering how they were to most two beautiful girls in Obelisk Blue dorm.
"Alright and stop!" Mimura yelled, blowing his whistle. "You guys earned a thirty minute break. I will be back with some pre-tests"
"Finally!" Kyu said, collapsing on the grass, panting.
Hide came over with a water bottle, handing it to Kyu. "Wow that was great!" Hide said, looking up into the clear blue sky.
"Hey Doxx." Sophia said, leaning against the Ra Yellow student.
"Sophia..." Doxx said, inching away from her.
"So, Doxx, what do you think of our new Obelisk Blue class mates, they appear to be stronger than they look." Sophia said, pointing at Kyu and Hide.
"Never seen them before." Doxx said, putting on some headphones.
"Doxx! Seriously, Genesis and find them annoying, teach them a lesson." Sophia whined, putting on a puppy face.
"Sophia, please. They are merely first years, try giving them a chance." Doxx said.
"They said that Ra Yellow didn't have potential, plus that the honor student is just a sack of potatoes." Sophia said, smirking to herself.
"And why should I believe you?" Doxx asked.
"I want you to challenge Kyu to a duel. Show him whose boss." Sophia said.
"A challenge, from the lovely Sophia." Doxx smirked.
"What? Too chicken to do it?" Sophia smirked.
"Oh my! This bag is way to heavy to carry! I wish someone was around to help me!" Genesis said, faking her weakness against a bag full of equipment.
"Looks like Genesis needs some help." Hide pointed.
"Let's go help!" Kyu said, getting up.
"Of course, you're just a big sap for cute girls." Hide laughed.
"Yoo hoo! Kyu!" Sophia called from afar.
"You go ahead." Kyu said, running toward a different direction. Hide watched him awkwardly and ran to help Genesis.
"Hey Kyu." Sophia said, having an evil smile in her thoughts.
"What's up?" Kyu asked.
"I'd like you to meet a friend of mine! His name is Doxx!" Sophia smiled as Doxx came around a corner.
"Hey, heard a lot about how you beat Genesis in a duel." Doxx said, letting out a handshake.
"Cool! I've never heard anything about you!" Kyu said, shaking his hand.
"Doxx here is the honor student in Ra Yellow, a fine duelist he is. He'd like to challenge you to a duel." Sophia said.
"Me? You're the one who...." Doxx said but then Sophia whipped around, waving her hands in front of his face.
"Cool! I'd love a good duel right about now." Kyu smiled, accepting his challenge.
The two duelist set a foot on grassy terrain where a chalk line kept the duel field up, also with some holograms from a projector hidden in the ground.
"A one on one duel with the Life Points starting at 4000. Begin!" Sophia announced, judging the duel.
"Duel!" Kyu and Doxx announced as their life point counter went to 4000.
"I'll begin!" Kyu announced, drawing his sixth card. "I'll summon Y Dragon Head (1500/1600) in defense mode. I'll then set a card face down and end my turn."
The dragon materialized onto the field, it's red shining wings covering it's body.
"Draw!" Doxx announced, drawing his card. He smiled at his very first hand. "This kid has no clue about my potential."
"Doxx, you better win, I've got five bucks on you." Sophia said.
"Well Kyu, I think you should know I'm not just a 'fine' duelist." Doxx smiled. "I've beaten every student in Ra Yellow, and even a teacher with their real deck."
"And I've... Beaten Sophia!" Kyu said, pointing at her.
"SHUT UP!" Sophia said, embarrassed.
"Wow, you must have some potential then." Doxx chuckled. "I'll use my whole hand to take you down."
"Huh?" Kyu said in confusion.
"First, I'll activate this magic card, Black Hole!" Doxx announced. "This magic card destroys all monsters on the field."
"Ahh!" Kyu said as a black hole appeared in the middle of the field, sucking in the mechanical dragon.
"I'll then summon this, Ragnorok Dragon! (500/500)" Doxx announced as the brown dragon with the skin of stone appeared on the field. "Ragnorok Dragon's effect allows me to discard magic cards from my hand to increase it's attack power by two hundred for each card."
"Ah!" Kyu said in shock. "That means he can power it up so high, it'll be tough to defeat."
"So I'll discard the rest of my four magic cards in order to increase it's attack power to eighteen hundred!" Doxx said as the dragon began to grow larger. "Now! Ragnorok Dragon, attack his life points directly!"
The dragon swiftly turned it's body, having it's long stone tail swipe Kyu. Kyu let out a gasp as his life points lowered to 2200.
Doxx smiled with satisfaction. "And my turn ends!" He announced.
"My turn, draw!" Kyu announced, taking his next card. Kyu smiled. "Like all monsters, they have strengths, and they have weakness'"
"So, you've heard about my Ragnorok Dragon's weakness." Doxx said, impressed by his knowledge.
Kyu smiled and nodded. "Now! I'll discard this trap card, Mechanical Magic Mirror, to my graveyard to lower your Ragnorok Dragon's power by one hundred!" Kyu announced.
"No!" Sophia whined as Ragnorok Dragon's attack power reduced to 1700.
"And now, I'll activate Raise Dead, to bring back Y Dragon Head! (1500/1600)" Kyu announced as the dragon formed onto the field. "I'll then summon X Head Cannon! (1800/1500)"
"Darn..." Doxx said.
"X Head Cannon, attack and destroy his Ragnorok Dragon!" Kyu commanded as the machine charged at the stone dragon, shattering it to pieces with it's on mechanical fist. "Finally, Y Dragon Head, attack his life points directly!"
The red mechanical dragon opened it's maw, sending an electrical blast at Doxx. Doxx covered himself with his bare arms, his shirt fluttering from the tough winds that the dragon had blasted. Doxx growled in pain as his life points lowered to 2400.
"And then, I'll combine Y Dragon Head and X Head Cannon together to form XY Dragon Cannon! (2200/1900)" Kyu announced as the two machines flew into the air, connecting.
"You are quite the duelist." Doxx said.
"Thanks." Kyu smiled. "I'll end my turn by setting a card face down."
"Come on Doxx! If you won't win I'll hate you forever!" Sophia said.
"I can live with that...." Doxx said. "But losing is not my game."
"Neither is mine." Kyu said.
"Draw!" Doxx announced, taking his next card. "Now! I activate this, Card of Sanctity! This forces us to draw until we each have six cards in our hand."
Each player refreshed their new hands and Doxx smiled, taking another card from his hand. "Now! I activate this trap card, Flint Bomber!" Doxx announced, showing Kyu the card.
"You can't use trap cards on the same turn you have them in your hand!" Kyu said.
"Flint Bomber's special effect allows me to activate it when it's the only trap card in my hand." Doxx smiled. "Once it's activate it equips to your XY Dragon Cannon."
Suddenly a long stone chain appeared, wrapping around the machine. "Heh heh, of course you don't see that I can use my XY Dragon Cannon's effect to destroy that card." Kyu said, pointing at Doxx.
"You can't..." Doxx simply said. "The effect of Flint Bomber negates any card effects of the chosen monster, and by the end of your next turn, the Flint Bomber will explode and take out all your life points equal to the number of attack points your XY Dragon Cannon has."
"No... I'll lose then." Kyu said.
"I'll set a card face down and end my turn!" Doxx announced.
"Draw!" Kyu announced, drawing his card. "Alright, so there is a way to get past his trap card."
"What do you mean?" Doxx asked.
"I've found a way to take out your Flint Bomber! Now I sacrifice XY Dragon Cannon to summon this, Android Psycho Shocker! (2400/1500)"
"Hmmm, interesting." Doxx smiled.
"Err, stupid boy." Sophia growled, holding fist. "That's my card!"
"Android Psycho Shocker! Attack his life points directly!" Kyu announced, pointing at Doxx.
"Reveal trap card, Mirror Force" Doxx announced. Suddenly the trap card exploded. "What?!"
"Psycho Shocker's special ability negates all trap cards, so you're out of luck!" Kyu said as Doxx growled, only having 2400 life points. The android blasted an energy sphere at Doxx. Doxx fell to his knee, but got back up as his life points reduced to 0.
Doxx casually smiled and walked up to Kyu, giving him a handshake. "Your a keen duelist, I haven't lost like this in a while." Doxx said.
"You're a great duelist too!" Kyu said, scratching the back of his head.
"What are you doing! You should be bashing his brains out!" Sophia whined from the side lines.
Hide got back, looking at Doxx and Kyu. "What'd I miss?" Hide asked.
"Not much, we just had a small duel." Doxx said. "You're Ryu-Hide, aren't you?"
Hide nodded. "I knew you looked familiar! I've always wanted to meet you! I heard you got into Obelisk Blue without taking your Duel Tests"
"Well that is true I guess." Hide chuckled, scratching the back of his head.
"Maybe we can go study sometime, you really need to help me on the upcoming test." Doxx said as they both walked off.
"I hope your happy, Kyu..." Sophia said coming up from behind.
"I guess yeah, but I don't see why you need to be so angry." Kyu said.
"Argh! You are just so... Blah!" Sophia stammered, stomping off.
"So how'd things go?" Genesis asked.
"Just shut up!" Sophia said, walking inside the building.
Many Ra Yellow and Obelisk Blue students sat around in the same lobby, just chatting and showing off their rare cards. "So Hide, what kind of a deck do you have?" Doxx asked.
"Eh, so so." Hide said.
Kyu came into the lobby, yawning loudly and scratching his rear, walking toward Hide and Doxx. "Hide, have you seen my CD player?" Kyu asked.
"Hide, you should study for the test tomorrow." Hide said.
"I don't study for tests! I Already know them." Kyu said, laughing with victory.
Doxx laughed. "This is a serious test, it depends on us to do good. Also there are tournament duels after, meaning that if the Osiris Red are good enough, they can move into Ra Yellow or even Obelisk Blue." Doxx said.
"What does that leave us?" Kyu asked.
"Well if you do bad, you might get reduced down to Ra Yellow or even Osiris Red." Doxx said.
Kyu gasped and felt like mud. "No way! I can't go to Osiris Red!" Kyu said.
"Don't worry, I've already written some notes for you to study tonight." Hide said, handing him some papers.
"Alright Hide! You're the best." Kyu laughed, shoving them in his back pack.
"And after the test, there's a special surprise." Doxx said. "If you have enough money, of course."
"What is it?!" Hide and Kyu said, their expressions all perked up.
"Well I'm not allowed to tell any first years, but if you're lucky enough to by pass all the other students, you can get your hands on rare cards which are shipped tomorrow after the test." Doxx said. "And don't tell any other first years!"
"Awesome!" Kyu and Hide said.
Doxx, Hide, and Kyu had a serious study session back at their dorm room the night. "Kyu, you've gotta stay awake." Hide said, taking a sip of tea.
"But I'm so tired, I'm going to head off to bed, my brain is already big enough." Kyu said, falling in bed with his uniform still on.
