Chapter 5, Misunderstandings.

Jaden and Syrus returned to their dorm, the sun had set and it was getting dark. Upon entering the dining area they saw three Slifer students Jason, Michael and Freddy all three of them was beaten and bloody.

"What happened to you three" asked Syrus, Jason was the first to respond "Some Obelisk came here and just attacked us", "It was totally a unprovoked attack" added Michael "He came here looking for a fight" finished Freddy.

"One guy beat all three of you, who was it" asked Jaden "It was that kid who beat Chazz earlier today" said Jason. Jaden looked angry "That snake, I'm going over there and giving him a piece of my mind" he said as he walked to the door.

Syrus ran in front of him saying "Wait Jaden, it's late at least wait until morning" Jaden thought for a minuet "Ok that way you can all see me take him down".

The next day Robin was walking to school when he was stopped by Jaden and five other Slifer students "What do you want" asked Robin, Jaden was the one to respond "We want you to answer for what you did".

The Slifer's began to surrounded Robin when they heard a voice "Hey leave him alone" they all turned to see Alexis running up to them "Oh look another obnoxious Obelisk" said one of the Slifer's. "Don't call us that and what's this about anyway" said Alexis.

"Your friend here attacked three Slifer's yesterday" said another Slifer "No I didn't" said Robin "those guy attacked me, I was only defending myself", "Ha like we would believe you" said a Slifer.

"Hey don't you think you should at least let him explain himself" said Alexis, "Shut up, your no different to any other Obelisk" shouted a Slifer, Jaden looked troubled by this "Hey guys that's a bit much, she hasn't done anything wrong" he said.

"Jaden the blue's are our enemies, they think their better that everyone else" shouted a Slifer, Jaden looked at Alexis and saw a hurt look in her eyes causing him to immediately regret what he was doing, he looked around and know this had gone too far.

Jaden sighed "Ok how's about this. I challenge you to a duel, and if I win you have to admit you beat those three up, but if you win I'll accept you was defending yourself" the other Slifer's looked confused "I accept" said Robin.

The Slifer's looked angry "Jaden what are you doing this wasn't part of the plan" one said, Jaden looked away from them and at Robin "It is now, at least this way no one else has to get hurt" he said.

The Slifer's backed away and stood behind Jaden, Alexis stood behind Robin "Are you sure class starts in half an hour" she said to Robin "Don't worry this shouldn't take that long" he replied.

The duel started and Jaden took the first turn. "I summon Elemental HERO avian in attack mode and end my turn" he said.

E HERO avian ATK 1000 DEF 1000 LV 3 WIND warrior.

"Here's some advice never play such a weak monster in attack mode without something to protect it" said Robin as he drew his card "I play Skilled dark magician in attack mode".

Skilled dark magician ATK 1900 DEF 1700 LV 4 DARK spellcaster.

"Now attack his monster" Robin said, Avian was destroyed, then Robin ended his turn.

Jaden LP 4000 – 900 = 3100.

Jaden started his turn "Ok not a great start, I play Wildheart in attack".

E HERO wildheart ATK 1500 DEF 1600 LV 4 EARTH warrior.

Jaden smiled "And now I play the spell Skyscraper, and attack your monster, and since your card is stronger Skyscraper gives Wildheart 1000 more ATK points until the end of the battle", Skilled dark magician was destroyed.

E HERO wildheart ATK 1500 + 1000 = 2500.

Robin LP 4000 – 600 = 3400.

E HERO wildheart ATK 2500 – 1000 = 1500.

"I end my turn" said Jaden.

Robin started his turn "I summon Breaker the magical warrior and the spell counter he gains from being summoned gives him 300 ATK points" he said.

Breaker ATK 1600 DEF 1000 LV 4 DARK spellcaster.

Breaker ATK 1600 + 300 = 1900.

"Breaker attack" ordered Robin, Breaker destroyed Wildheart.

Jaden LP 3100 – 400 = 2700.

"Now I remove Breaker's spell counter to destroy skyscraper and end my turn" added Robin.

Breaker ATK 1900 – 300 = 1600.

Jaden drew his card "Man you are really an aggressive duellist, I play a monster in defence mode and end my turn".

Robin's turn started "I summon Black fang magician".

Black fang magician ATK 1700 DEF 800 LV 4 DARK spellcaster.

"Now attack" ordered Robin. Jaden's face down monster was Clayman. Clayman was not destroyed.

E HERO clayman ATK 800 DEF 2000 LV 4 EARTH warrior.

Robin LP 3400 – 300 = 3100.

Robin looked annoyed "I end my turn" he said. Jaden drew "I activate polymerization to fuse clayman and sparkman to summon thunder giant" he said.

E HERO thunder giant ATK 2400 DEF 1500 LV 6 LIGHT warrior.

"And with Thunder giant once per turn I can send one card in my hand to the graveyard to destroy a monster with less ATK points then him" said Jaden as he discarded one card and destroyed Black fang magician.

Robin smiled "Sorry Jaden but when my magician is destroyed I can summon a DARK spellcaster from my graveyard" he said as he revived Skilled dark magician.

Skilled dark magician ATK 1900 DEF 1700 LV 4 DARK spellcaster.

"Well that doesn't matter because I can still attack with Thunder giant" said Jaden. Thunder giant attacked and destroyed Breaker.

Robin LP 3100 – 800 = 2300.

"Next I play one card face down" said Jaden "And end my", "JADEN STOP!" they all heard a voice shout out to them, everyone looked to see Syrus running up to them with Chumley panting behind him.

"Jaden don't hurt him he didn't do anything wrong" shouted Syrus "Syrus what are you talking about" said Jaden "I was just talking to Chumley and he was there yesterday and he saw what happened" said Syrus.

Chumley regained his breath and started to explain "It's true, yesterday Robin showed up at the dorm and those three just straight up attacked him, they might have done some serious damage but Robin took all three of them down".

"What I'm trying to say" Chumley continued "Is that Robin didn't do anything wrong, he was only defending himself" as he finished the Slifer students looked shocked "Oh my god, he's innocent" said one, "And we was going to" said another.

Jaden seemed to be thinking about what to do, then he turned off his duel disk and his monster disappeared "Robin I'm really sorry, for the first time in my life I don't want to continue a duel" he said.

None of the Slifer's wanted to look at Robin they was all too ashamed of themselves, they just stepped aside to let him pass. As Robin walked passed Jaden tried to apologies again "Look I'm sorry I should have asked you what happened". Robin just walked away without saying a word.

"Your right" Jaden heard Alexis say "You should have talked to him before jumping to conclusions" she said. She still had anger in her eyes directed at Jaden "I thought you was better than this" was the last thing she said before following Robin trying to get to class on time. Jaden watched her go feeling worst that he ever had in his life.
