31. Bringing Back Duelist Academy
Kyu was practically shaking, knowing soon Kaijou would be packing his bags. "Kaijou, I hope you learn a lesson from this. Never mess with people with a good heart." Kyu thought, biting his pencil.
"Calm down, Kyu-Haru." Yukie said, putting her hand on his shoulder.
"I'm sorry, I'm just so pumped. Not only will my parents be there, but Kaiba will rightfully take back his place in Duelist Academy."Kyu smiled.
"Yeah, I know, I'm excited too. Words gone around and people are getting pumped." Yukie said, watching as people gave Kyu a thumbs up every minute.
Night finally came. Yukie was finishing up on her make-up. Each male student has been told to pair up with a female student for the Escort To The Ball.
Yukie came up to Kyu, fixing the flower on his suit, blushing as he looked down. "You look nice, I can't wait to see your parents." Yukie said.
"I can't wait to see you guys dance out there." Hide chuckled. Genesis had formally asked Hide to escort her, being a nice guy, Hide agreed. Sophia and Doxx also paired up and they were all getting ready in Kyu's room.
Suddenly royal music began to play, alerting the students to head toward the lounge area. "May I?" Kyu said, holding his arm out.
"Sure!" Yukie said as she wrapped her arm around Kyu's. Each pair began to walk out of the room in a straight line of each pair. Violet was blushing as she walked with her partner.
Violet saw Kyu and gave a quick smirk and Kyu blushed. "This is so wonderful!" Sophia said, snuggling against Doxx. Doxx rolled his eyes as he looked away.
Hide seemed to be in pain as Genesis held onto his arm tightly. The parents sat in seated rows as the students entered. Kaijou stood behind them as they entered, sitting down in front of their parents.
"Guardians, welcome to Parents Night. I'm sorry that Seto Kaiba isn't here to greet you, unexpected plans have failed him to attend." Kaijou said as the parents began to whisper in shock.
"But I, Izuki Kaijou, is here to replace Seto Kaiba and I'll be hosting this years Parents Night." Kaijou smiled. "Now let the party begin!"
Students met up with their parents, a lot of hugging and sweet talk went around. "Mom! Dad!" Kyu waved, waving to a young couple.
"Kyu-Haru! Just look at you with your girl!" Kyu's mom said, hugging him.
"Thanks." Kyu said.
"We've heard what a wonderful duelist you've been." Kyu's dad said, patting him on the head. "You've beaten a lot of honor students."
"Yeah well, a lot of that has been happening." Kyu said, guilty about this comment since he didn't want to brag.
Hide's well dressed father stood before him. "So tell me about why Seto Kaiba isn't here?" He said, blowing smoke out of his pipe.
"Well..." Hide said, looking to the corner.
"Don't worry, Mr. Hide, Seto Kaiba will be here shortly." Kyu said.
"Oh really, ust be a business meeting." Hide's father said. "You're Kyu-Haru, I've heard lots about you. You've managed to even defeat Quartz. I'm very impressed."
Kyu smiled, shaking his hand. "Maybe sometime my boy here can beat your record." Hide's father smiled.
"Dad!" Hide said.
"Hide's really proved himself. He's one strong duelist, to be honest, he inspires me." Kyu said. "He's really gifted."
"You here that, Ryou, a duel champion is commenting on you, you must have really been doing a lot here." Hide's father said, patting him on the back as Hide turned red.
Kyu walked by a long table full with a row of Duel Disks. He wondered why they were there, probably for decoration he thought as he saw Yukie hugging her father.
"Daddy! How's the shop without me?" Yukie asked.
"Lonesome. Are you sure you're doing alright here? No trouble eh?" Yukie's father said.
"It's been perfect here." Kyu said. "For Yukie. I'm Kyu-Haru."
"I've heard about you, you've proven yourself a lot." Yukie's father said, giving him a hand shake.
"Kyu's been out there for me, daddy, he's really something." Yukie smiled.
"Say, when will Seto Kaiba be here anyway?" Hide's father asked Hide.
"Ummm..." Hide said when suddenly the roof began to open. wind blew in as a helicopter lowered to the level of the ceiling. People looked in awe as a rope latter was released. The helicopter had the Kaiba Corporation insignia on it.
"What is he doing here..." Kaijou hissed as Kaiba slid down the latter.
"Yes!" Kyu said as people applaud as Kaiba arrived. his brief case at hand.
"Kaijou!" Kaiba hollered as the crowd grew silent. "I will no longer hide away as you turn my school into a boarding school. You've taken away some of the best students in this school, and you've made my current students feel miserable."
"So." Kaijou snickered, sitting in his big cushioned thrown, sipping a glass of whine.
"This school is mine and I'll rightfully take it back." Kaiba said.
"How, you've signed a contract, you can't escape from what you've been into." Kaijou said.
"No contract matters, principle is what matters!" Kaiba said.
"Please, there's nothing you can do. I've see you even ready to challenge me again after your last miserable loss." Kaijou said.
Suddenly all parents gasped, figuring out that Kaiba lost the school to Kaijou. "I don't plan on dueling you." Kaiba smirked.
"What!" Kyu said in shock.
"I received a call from a student, a student who was confident that I will take back my school. I was reluctant, but after I thought about it, I figured why not let one of the best take you out." Kaiba said. "Kyu-Haru, I want you to show Kaijou what a true duelist can do."
"Me? You want me to duel Kaijou?" Kyu said, feeling out of his league.
"What have you got to lose." Kaiba smiled. Kyu looked back up at Kaijou who just laughed out loud.
"Please, there is no student who can beat me. I'm more experienced and I'm about to take over the whole Duel Monsters company!" Kaijou laughed.
"Do it Kyu! You've proven yourself as a duelist you never give up. Show Kaijou the true meaning of a duelist!" Hide shouted.
"Beat this guy, Kyu!" Doxx shouted at the side of his parents.
Everyone began cheering as Kyu stood alone. "Please Kyu, do it for this academy." Yukie begged.
"Alright." Kyu smiled with confidence, taking a duel disk from the table and sliding his deck into it. He stepped in the giant open space.
"very well, Kyu-Haru. Your rank may be high in this school, but I exceed your level." Kaijou smiled, taking his own Duel Disk and sliding his deck in.
Kaijou remained sitting at his throne while Kyu faced Kaijou. Everyone was depending on him now, if he failed then there's no point in having to stay here.
"Have you know, once you lose, there'll be no Kyu-Haru at Duelist Academy no more!" Kaijou laughed.
"Duel!" Kyu and Kaijou announced, their life points raising to 4000.
"I'll begin!" Kyu announced, drawing his card. Violet stood behind Kyu as he drew his card. "Seraphim Guardner, in defense mode! (2000/1000) This ends my turn!"
"Draw.." Kaijou announced. Many people were unsure about Kyu's play, only placing a defense monster on the field and ending his turn.
"I bring forth Siren of Ballad in defense mode! (2200/300)" Kaijou announced as the blonde haired woman materialized onto the field. "I'll also set a card face down and end my turn."
"Draw..." Kyu announced, drawing his card. "I'll summon Seraphim Sabre! (1600/1500)"
"Hmm, I know this strategy very well." Kaijou said in his mind as the sword wielding angel materialized to the field.
"Seraphim Sabre's ability increases it's attack power by three hundred for each other angel on the field, that goes for my Seraphim Guardner's defense power!" Kyu explained as his Seraphim Sabre's attack strength rose to 1900 and Seraphim Guardner's defense power increased to 2300. "I'll then set a card face down and end my turn."
"Draw..." Kaijou announced calmly, drawing his card. "Now I'll activate my face down card, Devil's Spy Glass!"
"Not this..." Kyu thought, remembering when Harem used it on him, taking his Shrink magic card and using it as his own.
"By sacrificing one thousand of my life points (LP: 3000) I'll be able to use a magic card from your hand, so allow me to view your hand!" Kaijou demanded.
People looked worried as Kyu revealed his hand to Kaijou. Kaijou smiled. "I see you've left quite a lot of power cards in your hand. Why haven't you used them yet? Do you fear your loss already coming?" Kaijou taunted. Kyu only ignored him. "Very well, I'll chose to activate the magic card, Bond of Brothers!"
"No..." Kyu thought as everyone in the crowd gasped.
"With this, I'll sacrifice one thousand of my life points (LP: 2000) so I may now summon the rest of my sirens!" Kaijou announced. "No go! Siren of Melody (1700/1600) and Siren of Nocturne! (2400/1500)"
The two sirens appeared on the field, all three began to sing in unison. "And since I have all three of my sirens, none of your monsters will be able to attack!" Kaijou announced. "Siren of Nocturne! Destroy his Seraphim Sabre!"
The Siren screeched, sending a sound wave at the sword wielding angel, destroying it. Kyu growled as his life points reduced to 3500.
"I'll set a card face down and end my turn." Kaijou announced.
"How will Kyu defeat this guy if he can't even attack..." Hide thought.
"He'll find away." Doxx said, having hope for Kyu.
"Draw..." Kyu announced, drawing his card. "Reveal trap card, Time Machine!"
"Hm..." Kaijou said, smiling.
"This trap card will bring back a monster which you destroyed a turn earlier." Kyu explained. "So now my Seraphim Sabre returns to the field! (1600/1500 +300) Next, I'll activate this magic card, Fusion!"
"Huh?" Kaijou said, confused as the magic card flipped up.
Kyu held up a monster card from his hand. "So I can fuse Seraphim Sabre and Seraphim Gunner, from my hand, to one monster!" Kyu said as the two angels flew into the fusion magic card, forming into one angel with a large gun. "Seraphim Rampart Gunner! (2600/1300)"
"Hmm, your monster is strong but because of the song my sirens are singing, it won't be able to attack." Kaijou smiled.
"Yes, I know, but it's special effect allows me to dodge your sirens and attack your life points directly!" Kyu said, pointing at Kaijou. "So now! I sacrifice Seraphim Guardner so I may attack your life points with Seraphim Rampart Gunner!"
"No!" Kaijou gasped as the angel wielding a large gun kneeled down, aiming, then fired a stream of bullets toward Kaijou.
"Activate trap card, Life Barrier!" Kaijou announced. "This trap card protects me from any direct attack for three turns."
Suddenly a pink bubble appeared around Kaijou. The bullets struck the bubble, but the bubble remained, protecting Kaijou's life points.
"If only this attack were successful, Kyu would've won!" Hide's father said, amazed by the play.
"I'll set a card face down and end my turn." Kyu announced, feeling like he gave it his all this round.
"Draw..." Kaijou announced as the bubble around him dimmed a bit. Two turns to go until his bubble disappeared. "I'll set a card face down, then summon Horned Imp in defense mode (1400/1300). My turn ends now."
"He has no reason to summon such a weak monster, unless he's deciding to sacrifice it for a stronger monster." Kyu figured. But he wouldn't be able to attack unless one of Kaijou's sirens were destroyed.
"Draw..." Kyu announced, drawing his card. "Not the card I need..."
Kyu looked at his hand, frowning at it which made Kaijou smile. "Well well, Kyu-Haru. You've shown a powerful duel so far. But your deck doesn't seem to be on your side, whilst mine is." He taunted.
"I'll summon a monster in face down defense mode and end my turn." Kyu announced. Because Kyu ended his turn, Kaijou's bubble dimmed even more, causing it's effect to wear out a little. Once Kyu ended his next turn, he would be free to attack Kaijou's life points directly.
"Draw..." Kaijou announced, drawing his card.
"Now! I'll sacrifice my Horned Imp in order to summon this!" Kaijou announced as the demon began to dissolve. "Circe! (1400/1500)"
"Oh yes! I've seen this girl before." Kyu thought. "The Great Odysseus stopped to her island, but more terrible things happened."
"Heh, Circe is one of my most powerful magic users of my deck, her power allows me to take a magic card from my deck, and by doing this I have to skip my draw phase." Kaijou explained.
"No way, then Kaijou can use any magic card in his deck that he wants, Kyu seems to be at a disadvantage now..." Yukie said, shocked.
"But with this, I'll set one more card face down and end my turn." Kaijou announced.
"Draw..." Kyu announced, taking his next card. Kyu smiled, knowing he had drawn his Kuriboh. Even though it was weak, it still made a good addition to his deck.
"Kuriboh, you'll help me get to victory." Kyu said in his head, looking down at the card. "Reveal monster card, Fiber Pod! (500/500)"
People frowned upon Kyu, finding out such a easy monster was in his deck. "Heh, that monster will do you no good, but lower you rank in this class. That card was only made for beginners of duel monsters." Kaijou said.
"Monsters shouldn't be treated by the way of their effect." Kyu said. "Fiber Pod forces us to combine our hands, graveyard, and decks to create a new deck."
"Don't forget about the cards on your field." Kaijou said, pointing at Kyu's monster. Kaijou was disappointed in Kyu, mainly because such a beginners monster resided in his deck but Kyu forced a smile.
"I know, that is why I had this card ready, activate trap card, Interdimensional Matter Transporter!" Kyu announced. "I'll use this trap card to remove my Seraphim Rampart Gunner from the game until the end of my turn."
"Heh, then I'll play just like you, but with more power!" Kaijou said.
"What?" Kyu said, not getting what he was talking about.
"Activate trap card, Four Ancient Mirrors!" Kaijou announced. "This trap card allows me to copy the effect of your trap card, only with quadruple the power!"
"What?" Kyu said, confused.
"Just as you can use your trap card, once, I can use it too, four times." Kaijou said as four mirrors appeared. Kyu's Seraphim Rampart Gunner suddenly disappeared, then Kaijou's Circe, and three sirens were sealed into the four mirrors.
"Ok well..." Kyu said. "Anyways, Fiber Pod forces us to draw five cards after we've combined our decks!"
There was a minute of gathering the cards and shuffling. They both slid their decks into their deck holsters, drawing five new cards. Kyu looked in shock, the first card he drew was Kuriboh. "Ok, Kuriboh, I'll need your help in this duel today." Kyu said happily.
"Because you've played such an amateur monster, this duel practically starts over." Kaijou smiled. "But with new beginnings, there will always be new endings. Preferably your ending will be more harsh."
"Should I be scared? Sorry, Kaijou, the last time I was scared was my first day here." Kyu smirked.
"I'll end my turn by setting a card face down." Kyu announced. Just then, Kyu's Seraphim Rampart Gunner formed back onto the field.
"Draw..." Kaijou announced, drawing the sixth card for his hand. He smiled to himself, viewing Cyclops, the one card hat defeated Quartz. "Oh dear Kyu-Haru, it's so sad to see a real idol go down only because my rules defy you."
"Oh?" Kyu said.
"I'll too set a card face down." Kaijou said. "Then end my turn."
As soon as Kaijou ended his turn, Circe and the three sirens returned to the field. "If only you played that turn right, you could have won this duel by now." Kaijou said. "But of course, fate is on my side."
"That is something doubtful." Kyu said. "Only good guys win, Kaijou, and trust me, you're no good guy."
"That doesn't matter, all that matters is that I will own all of Duel Monsters and throw you and your friends out of the dueling world." Kaijou laughed.
