Chapter Three

Sliffer Red's Dorm; Omega's Des Guardias

Ariel smiled slightly as she walked up to Rachel and Alexei, the rest of the students streaming into the Arena dome room. "That was well done, you two," she began. "An excelent display of teamwork and skill." She looked at Alexei and shook her head slightly. "You should really be wearing your dorm's uniform, Alex."

"Please, Miss Chancellor... don't call me Alex." Alexei frowned slightly as he replied. Silently he replied to her statement about the uniform. "I'll change when I get to my dorm room..." Ariel merely nodded and turned to the students.

"You may have noticed by now that the peices of paper you have been color coded. The numbers and color represent your respective dorms and dorm rooms. You have the rest of the day to get settled into your rooms. Tommorow you will be expected to be up and on time for classes." Ariel sweeped her eyes across the students, who didn't move. "Well, what are you waiting for? Do you want to have time to sleep later? Get a move on!" With that the students scambled, taking off for their dorm rooms, except for Alexei; who picked up his things, slung them over his shoulder and stared at his deck for a few minutes before walking out. To his surprise, Rachel was waiting outside the Arena for him.

"Uhh... hi." Alexei turns his head away from Rachel, so the large collar of his trench coat hide part of his face.

"Hey. You did good, kid." Rachel offered a slight smile. "What's with the long face? You shy or something?"

"Hmph." Turning his face back to her, he offered an uneasy smile. "You... were waiting for me?" Rachel nodded and gave a little 'Mhmm.' "What for?"

"Well... this is your first year, right?" Rachel asked, Alexei nodded. "Come on, I'll show you around campus." His eyes widened slightly before he could close them to hide the surprise.

"Sure... whatever floats your boat." Alexei took a small breath as Rachel started off. She stopped after a few secounds.

"Hey, are you coming?" She asked, looking back at Alexei. He opened his eyes and gave a start before catching up to her. Must be shy... she thought.

The two walked together, Rachel pointing out the various dorms- with Alexei as silent as the still night. Meanwhile, near the Obelisk Blue Boys' Dorm Rooms, one of the students got pulled behind the building by the teacher that looked alot like Crowler.

"Hey, what gives?" The kid said.

"Have you noticed some of the students this year? That new student, the one not dressed as proper, for instance?" The teacher asked.

"Yeah, what about him?"

"Well... he's from Russia, if you didn't know." The kid cursed under his breath and kicked the building. "Well then mister...?"

"Jazz. Jazz Jackson."

"Jazz..." The teacher smirked and opened a suitcase filled with cards. "Well... if you beat him a duel, I'll give you all of these rare cards. But only if you beat him!"

Jazz was already looking over the cards. "Heh... okay, what's the catch, teach?"

"Oh, nothing... if you don't win you will be humiliated from being beat by that Sliffer Slacker!" Jazz seemed to be taken back by that. After a moment he nodded.

"Yeah, fine. I'll beat the Russian bastard." Jazz swore as it stalked off, soon to be joined by two other Obelisk students. The teacher smirked again and closed the suitcase as someone cleared their throat behind him.

"What are you doing out here, Benito?" Ariel's voice sounded.

"Uhh... nothing, Miss Kaiba! Nothing at all! I was just... uhh... umm... washing the walls!" Benito paused and looked around. "With this suitcase!" He began to rub the card filled case against the wall, causing Ariel to roll her eyes and walk off muttering about people being up to the same old tricks as others were when her father was in charge. Giving a sigh of releif, once Ariel was out of earshot, Benito walked off to the Obelisk Blue's Headmaster room.

Rachel stopped for a moment and sighed, seeing Jazz and his two 'friends' walking up to her and Alexei. Great... Jazz always has to make trouble for the Russian kids... Alexei stopped a little ways behind and set his backpack down.

"What's the stop for? Are you tired or something?" he asked.

"Huh? No. Just a troublemaker's coming this way..." Rachel replied with a kick at the dirt.

"Really? Who would--" Alexei began but Jazz had just reached earshot.

"Jazz Jackson, you Sliffer Slacker!" he shouted at Alexei. "And I'm gonna take you down, Russian freak!"

"Back off, Jazz Jerkson, before you get yourself hurt... in more ways then one." Rachel stepped up, defending Alexei.

"Put a sock in it, Rachel Dolt! And get outa my way! That slacker's goin' down! Right here, right now!" Jazz wouldn't let up, he was too intent on getting those rare cards from Benito.

"... it's okay, stand down, comrade." Alexei's voice came softly, Rachel looked back at him with a slightly worried look and moved aside. "It is one thing to insult me, kraut... but you do not insult a lady for having the courage to step up to you just to get to me." Alexei activated his Duel Xero and glared at Jazz.

"Heh, that'll be your first mistake, you damn Tommy!" Jazz shouted as he activated his Duel Xero.

"It's time to duel, Jazz."

"Right back at yah, slacker."

"I'll take the first move." Alexei drew his hand and glanced at it. "I'll play the magic card, Cost Down! This will decrease the star count of all monsters in my hand," he bang

"Yeah, yeah! I know what it does! Get your turn over with so I can clobber you." Jazz interupted.

"Hmph... Now I will summon one of my Defenders of the Realm in defence mode!" A spirit carrying a shield with each arm. "I'll end my turn with three cards facedown."

"Fine, it time to Jazz you up anyways!" Jazz drew. "Now I will play the ritual card called 'Guardian of the End'! Now I have to sacrifice monsters equally ten levels, one of those including a Guardian monster!" Jazz discarded a Guardian Baou and a Masked Beast. "Now I can summon my best card, OMEGA'S DES GUARDIAS!" A huge fiend wearing blade and red spiked armor appeared, a shield attached to each arm, carrying a staff in one hand and a eight foot long great maul. "Now crush his pathetic Defender with your Hellish Apocolypse attack!"

"No! My Defender! Ugh..." Alexei raised his arms as his monster was destroyed, his lifepoints dropped to twelve hundred.

"Heh, guess your not up for snuff, huh, Russian bastard? I'll set two cards facedown and end my turn." Jazz spoke with a cocky attitude, which only tipped the scales on Alexei's anger.

"This duel is not over yet!" Alexei drew his card and took a deep breath before looking at it. "I play my magic card; Gathering of Souls!" The four tokens appeared hugging each other. "I end there..."

Will Alexei be able to beat the dreaded Omega's Des Guardias? Or will he loose the duel? Find out in Chapter Four: Jazz It Down; Attack Dice!
