I think I got it! Instead of the Belowski episode, we're filling it up with a brand new chapter!

Zane took a few deep breaths here and in, relaxing under the sunlight and looking out into the distance of the great blue ocean whose bounds has no limits. The fresh air smelled of plain grass and flowers; perfect for the calm atmosphere he was in. The soft grass beneath his feet hardly bothered him at all as the cool breeze helped improved his mood that afternoon.
That is, until a certain Slifer Red came into action.
"...aaaaaaaannnnneeeee!"
"Huh?" Turning around and squinting his eyes, Zane could see a small figure with dust right behind them, running towards a straight direction...towards him. The more closer the target was gaining, the more he could make out who it was.
And who other than energetic, tomboy, Jaden Yuki?
"ZAAAAANNNNNE!"
When faced with this sort of situation, most people would panic and cry out for Jaden to stop. However, Zane, who's had his fair share of fangirls, simply stepped out of the way, watching as Jaden tripped over a small rock and tumble down the grassy hill before crashing into a field of flowers.
"..." Zane knew that Jaden was tough and could easily get herself off, as proven when she leaped right up as if nothing had happened to her. She sprinted up the hill, though with some difficulty because the hill was much steeper than she expected.
"Zane! Duel me!" demanded Jaden. Unknown to her, there laid a tiny spot on her forehead with blood trickling down.
"...You do realize your forehead's bleeding, right?"
"Aww, I'll be fine!"
"Jaden, you need to get Miss Fontaine to look at you."
Jaden's eyes widen before shrieking, "WHAT?! NOOO! NEEDLES! I DON'T WANNA GET A SHOT!"
Surprised, Zane wasn't expecting to find one of Jaden's...weak points. His surprised look quickly changed to his calm and usual emotionless expression. If Jaden doesn't get her wound treated, it might get infected and get even worse. He may not care what others do in their spare time, but injuries? He doesn't go out of the line leaving others injured.
He grabbed Jaden's arm, though not too tightly, and said, "We're going to the infirmary."
"NOOOOOOOO! ANYTHING BUT THAT!"
Later, the rumors of Zane dating Jaden quickly spread like wildfire as eye witnesses saw Zane carrying Jaden through the shoulder as Jaden was howling and screaming while frailing her arms and legs around. Needless to say, it looks like another field day for the Yaoi Fanclub.
"Honestly, Jaden! Be more careful next time!" scolded Miss Fontaine, bonking Jaden over the head once she finished softening Jaden's head wound and bandaging it. Luckily for Jaden, the injuries she received were very light, minus her bleeding head wound, and none of her limbs were broken, so in about a few days, she should fully recover.
"Okay, Miss Fontaine! Thanks again!" called out Jaden, exiting the infirmary with a cherry lollipop in her mouth. Deciding to go to the card store to upgrade her cards, Jaden hummed a tune while skipping there.
Inside the card store, there weren't many customers inside, but a notable one caught her eye. Zane. Right now, he was sitting at a table, intrigued by a book.
She skipped towards him and grinned, completely forgetting about her card shopping. "Hey, Zane! Wanna duel?"
Zane, having organized his deck, placed a bookmark on the page he was currently reading before closing the book. Knowing that Jaden was quite the persistent one, he sighed. "If I do, will you stop getting hurt and begging me to duel you for a month?"
For the past few days, Jaden had been chasing him nonstop, continuously asking him to duel her. Ever since discovering her true gender, Zane assumed that she was just another one of his fangirls and ignored her...until he realized her pure intentions of dueling and not a single hint of romance. Seriously though, she'd do anything to duel him; even going so far as to jump out of a window to challenge him.
On that day, nobody could express how much of a heart attack Crowler experienced, as well as the ridiculous look on his face when he witnessed that.
"YAAAAAYYYYY!"
Launching onto his arm, Jaden tighten her grip around him excitedly like cuddling a cute teddy bear. Zane, being surprised by this act, started to move his arm up and down repeatedly, trying to detach himself from the clinging tomboy.
"Jaden, let...go!"
"Wheeeeeee!"
Apparently, Jaden was having too much fun as her feet were lifted off the ground while clinging onto Zane's arm. However, as time passed, she was started to get more and more dizzy from all the frailing until her grip on him loosen and she fell on her back; swirly anime-like eyes being evident of her being dizzy.
"I regret...nothing..." commented Jaden weakly as she raised one finger into the air.
Rubbing his wrist, Zane turned and said, "If you're ready, meet me near the lake outside of the Obelisk Blue Dorms."
"Okay!" chirped Jaden joyfully before falling down on her back, still not fully recovered.
Several minutes later, Zane was being accompanied by Jaden, who was cheerfully skipping behind him and humming a tone. Unknown to them, a couple of Duel Spirit individuals were watching over them intently...
"Flame Wingman, why are we here again?" questioned Bubbleman in spirit form as he and Flame Wingman hid behind the trees and bushes.
"Because I can't access my powers in the human world and I need your help," replied Flame Wingman.
Bubbleman rolled his eyes, though with his mask on, he was lucky Flame Wingman couldn't tell. The only reason why Flame Wingman's powers were temporarily prohibited in the human world was because he constantly abused it on several Obelisk Blues who picked a fight with Jaden or was bullying her. Unknown to Jaden, Flame Wingman would always seek out those boys and give them...nightmares.
The rulers of the Duel Spirit World weren't too happy about that, since the rules prevented human intervention, and sentenced Flame Wingman and his powers, removing them temporarily in the human world, but not limited towards his duties in the Duel Spirit World.
"What kind of help do you need?"
"Well, I ned you to summon your Bubble Blaster."
Kneeling right into position, Bubbleman used his spiritual powers to summon his main weapon before placing it down on the ground besides him. "Alright, now what?"
"Great, now just aim for Zane using the Bubble Blaster and fire!"
"WHAT?! Flame Wingman, you know we're prohibited from harming humans!" cried out Bubbleman.
"But do you not see Jaden and Zane? Zane is obviously wooing her! Why else would he bring her out to the lake, where most romantic locations would be located?"
"Probably because of a duel!"
"I DON'T BELIEVE YOU!"
"I'm not firing at anyone, Flame Wingman!"
"Fine! I'll do it then! Got it!"
"No, wait! Flame Wingman! You can't! Every weapon must have a specific wielder at hand! If a different person forcefully tries to use a Equip Weapon that doesn't righteously belong to him, then-"
"3...2...1...!"
"NO,WAI-"
BOOM! An explosion was triggered the moment Flame Wingman pulled the trigger, but to other humans, it would seem like a strong breeze just blew through. Zane and Jaden were, even unknowingly, fortunate that the explosion was limited to a small area.
"Let's get this started, alright? Hope you've become stronger than last time," said Zane, standing far from Jaden as his duel disk activated.
"Yup! Totally! Get your game on!" cheered Jaden, completely prepped for the duel.
"DUEL!"
- DUEL -
Zane - 4000 LP
VS
Jaden - 4000 LP
"Since I went last time we dueled, I'll let you go first," assured Jaden confidently with her hands on her hips.
"Oh? You sure? That's giving me quite an advantage," said Zane as he drew his sixth card.
"Nah, I'm pretty tough! I'm sure I can handle your onslaught this turn! So, bring it on! I dare ya!"
"Well, don't say I didn't warn you!" Zane said before beginning his turn. "Hmm...looks like you lucked out this time, Jaden. I summon Cyber Dragon Core in Defense Mode!"
A minature version of the original Cyber Dragon popped out from underneath the ground, wiggling its sharp, pointy tail and hissing a rattling tone, looking more of a scorpion.
Cyber Dragon Core - (LIGHT/Machine) - LV2 - (400/1500)
"And now, when he's Normal S-"
"Awwww! He's so cute!~" awed Jaden.
"You...you think my Monster is...cute?"
"Of course! Look at him, wiggling his small, cute body around! Hehe!~ He looks like a cute scorpion metal toy!"
Unfortunately, Cyber Dragon Core didn't seem to enjoy being called 'cute' and let out a small, angry sound while wagging its tail back and forth. "Hey! I'm not cute! I'm EVIL!"
"Aww! It's still so cute with its tail wagging!"
Zane couldn't help but sweatdrop over Jaden's sense of...cuteness. He shouldn't be surprised since she's a girl,and girls do love cute things, but this seemed a little bit too...ridiculous for him? Eh, he'll never understand girls.
"Anyways, I have to explain his special ability," announced Zane. "When Cyber Dragon Core is Normal Summoned, I can add one Cyber Spell or Trap card from my deck to my hand. Also, as long as he's on the field or in my Graveyard, his name becomes Cyber Dragon."
"Cool!"
"With that said, I end my turn. Your turn, Jaden. Show me how much you've improved."
Nodding, Jaden drew her card. "My turn! Ooh! I summon my cute Elemental Hero Knospe in Attack Mode!"
Sprouting from the ground just as Cyber Dragon Core did, a tiny bulb popped out before the rest of the body revealed itself and emerged on the playing field. Appearing now was a small, baby-like plant Monster with pink cheeks and a red gem around her neck. She held up her bulb-like palms as if ready to punch someone, as determined from her expression.
Elemental Hero Knospe - (EARTH/Plant) - LV3 - (600/1000)
"You do realize that my Monster's Defense Points are higher than her Attack Points, right?" pointed out Zane, addressing to the difference between the two Monsters.
"I know, I know! I'm getting to that!" said Jaden happily. "Now, I activate Rose Bud from my hand! By sacrificing Knospe, I get to Special Summon Elemental Hero Poison Rose from my hand or deck! Now, let's see..." She took out her deck before finding the right card and inserting her deck back to her duel disk, which then automatically shuffled the deck for her. "Now, I Special Summon Elemental Hero Poison Rose!"
As soon as Knospe vanished, a light pink flower sprouted from the ground, completely closed off from the whole world. Then, the flower bloomed and slowly lifted its petals, revealing another humanoid plant Monster much more lovelier and beautiful than the previous Monster.
Elemental Hero Poison Rose - (EARTH/Plant) - LV6 - (1900/2000)
"Poison Rose, attack the cute Cyber Dragon Core!" shouted Jaden, frailing her finger around comically.
Poison Rose twirled around gracefully before throwing rose-like daggers at Cyber Dragon Core, causing him to squeal painfully before exploding.
"Now, I set one card facedown and end my turn! How's that, Zane? Pretty good, huh?"
"Please, that wasn't even my best," scoffed Zane before drawing his card. "Besides, you helped me out by destroying Cyber Dragon Core."
"Huh?" Tilting her head, Jaden asked, "What do you mean?"
"I mean, this. Since you control a Monster and I don't, I banish Cyber Dragon Core from my Graveyard to Special Summon a Cyber Dragon from my deck. So, come forth, Cyber Dragon!"
The dragon of steel arrived in a flashy entrance at he lifted up his head and roared at the skies, whipping his metallic tail into action as he stared down at Poison Rose with his golden, machine-like eyes.
Cyber Dragon - (LIGHT/Machine) - LV5 - (2100/1600)
"Cyber Dragon, destroy Poison Rose!" ordered Zane.
Cyber Dragon opened his jaws and fired a laser blast that completely incinerated the beautiful Plant-type Monster completely into ashes.
Zane - 4000 LP
Jaden - 3800 LP
"Now, I activate my Trap, Hero Signal!" shouted Jaden. "Since my Monster was just destroyed in battle and sent to the Graveyard, I get to Special Summon 1 Level 4 or lower Monster from my hand or deck as long as it's an Elemental Hero! I choose Elemental Hero Clayman in Defense Mode!"
Elemental Hero Clayman - (EARTH/Warrior) - LV4 - (800/2000)
Zane smirked. "Putting up more of a fight, huh? Good, because now I activate the Quick-Play Spell, Frontline Fusion! During my Battle Phase, I can Fusion Summon 1 Fusion Monster using Monsters from my hand or side of the field. I've got two Cyber Dragons in my hand and only one in the field, so I fuse all three together to Fusion Summon my ace Fusion Monster, Cyber End Dragon!"
The three dragons Zane cherished were sucked inside a vortex before appearing as a gigantic, three-headed monstrous dragon whose body was hard to pierce through and their fearsome appearance was enough to scare anyone.
Cyber End Dragon - (LIGHT/Machine/Fusion) - LV10 - (4000/2800)
"Awesome! Woo! Bring it on!" challenged Jaden, wanting a taste of Cyber End Dragon's power once again.
"If you insist! Battle! Cyber End Dragon, attack her Clayman!" ordered Zane. "And due to Cyber End Dragon's effect, I can inflict piercing damage to you even if your Monster's in Defense Mode! Cyber Stream Blast!"
All three heads fired an equal amount of power from her mouths which was more than enough to penetrate through the Elemental Hero's defense and destroy him, along with Jaden's Life Points.
Zane - 4000 LP
Jaden - 1800 LP
"Now, I'll activate Monster Reborn to bring back Cyber Dragon in Attack Mode."
Cyber Dragon - (LIGHT/Machine) - LV5 - (2100/1600)
"I set one card facedown and end my turn. Now, I'd like to see you get out of this one."
"Well, guess you're about to find out, now! My turn!" said Jaden. "I activate Polymerization, and fuse Elemental Heroes Avian and Sparkman to create a new Fusion Monster Elemental Hero Great Tornado!"
Out of nowhere, strong twisters burst out of nowhere, causing even some of the rocks to fly around thanks to the winds as Jaden and Zane braced themselves. Once the wind died down, a new warrior crashed down on the ground with his arms crossed. Equipped with green armor and a dark cloak to mask his identity, Jaden's Elemental Hero has been bestowed by the great winds to take down her opponents.
Elemental Hero Great Tornado - (WIND/Warrior/Fusion) - LV8 - (2800/2200)
"Hmph. A new Elemental Hero, huh? Let's see what sort of tricks this hero can do," muttered Zane, impressed by the sudden entrance and appeared of the mighty warrior.
"Great Tornado's effect activates!" Jaden said. "When he's Fusion Summoned, he halves all the Attack and Defense Points of all your Monsters, Zane!"
Crossing his armored arms together, Great Tornado mustered up his hidden strength from within before slashing at the air with his freed arms, forcing the light winds to grow heavy and out of control, enough to drive back both Cyber Dragon and Cyber End Dragon from their positions a little. As evidence, a bit of a mark where their original positions were was shown on the ground towards their current positions.
Cyber Dragon - (LIGHT/Machine) - LV5 - (1050/800)
Cyber End Dragon - (LIGHT/Machine/Fusion) - LV10 - (2000/1400)
"Great Tornado! Attack Cyber End Dragon!" Jaden exclaimed, guiding her finger towards the enormous metallic three-headed dragon.
Spiral winds surrounded Great Tornado's body as he hovered into the air, gathering winds to build up his power to strike down the foe before him.
Zane, having anticipated that Jaden would Fusion Summon a Monster powerful enough to defeat his ace Monster, was fully prepared than last time. "I activate the Attack Reflector Unit Trap card! By sacrificing the Cyber Dragon on my field, I get to Special Summon 1 Cyber Barrier Dragon from my hand or deck! And what do you know? I happen to have one in my hand! I Special Summon Cyber Barrier Dragon in Attack Mode!"
Another dragon resembling Cyber Dragon, yet lighter in color and having a sort of fan-like object around its collar appeared.
Cyber Barrier Dragon - (LIGHT/Machine) - LV6 - (800/2800)
"Next, I activate Cyber Barrier Dragon's effect! Once per turn, when he's in Attack Mode, he can negate one of your attacks!"
Around the time Zane announced the special effect, Great Tornado released the power he's been collecting into a blast of wind so powerful, that whoever gets caught up in it will be blown away for miles. At the same time, Cyber Barrier Dragon unleashed his effect and generated a barrier around Cyber End Dragon, protecting him from any harm.
"Aww! Not fair!" complained Jaden, pouting. "Well, I end my turn!"
"My turn! And this is the end!" promised Zane. "I activate Fissure! Now I destroy one Monster you control that has the lowest Attack Points! Since you only have Great Tornado, the choice is obvious!"
The ground collapsed beneath Great Tornado before a large hand sprang out and grabbed Great Tornado, dragging him downwards into the abyss of the underground before the ground closed up, much to Jaden's shock.
"Next, I activate the Quick-Play card, Limiter Removal! Now, my Cyber End Dragon's Attack is doubled until the end of this turn!"
Cyber End Dragon - (LIGHT/Machine/Fusion) - LV10 - (4000/1400)
"Cyber End Dragon! Finish this! Burst Stream Attack!"
Letting loose all of their remaining power, Cyber End Dragon sought out his revenge towards the Slifer Red for daring to decrease his power by releasing all three dragon heads' powers.
Zane - 4000 LP
Jaden - 0 LP
Winner: Zane
"Aww! I lost!" whined Jaden, sitting down on the ground and pouting to herself.
Sighing, Zane took a water bottle from his pocket and unscrewed the cap before taking a sip. "Well, you did better than before, but that's still not enough to beat me. In addition, you did catch me off guard one time during the duel, so you should feel happy. Not a lot of people can catch me off guard that easily."
Just that compliment brightened up Jaden. "Oh, thanks!" She stood back up before snapping her fingers. "Oh! I know! Wanna play another game?"
"Another game? You want to duel again?" asked Zane.
"Sure, it might be fun to have another duel, but I'm beat! Besides, I can't beat you the way I am right now," admitted Jaden as she held up a box with chocolate sticks inside. "Let's play this Pocky game!"
"Pocky? How do you play?"
"Well, I've only heard about it right now, but according to the instructions in the back, it says you have to put one end of the Pocky stick in your mouth, and your partner has to put the other end in his mouth! Then, we have to chew like it's a fast eating contest and something magical will happen!"
Suspicious, Zane requested, "Jaden, could I see those instructions?"
"Sure!"
Reading it through, Zane realized that this was actually a love game where the 'magic' was actually two people kissing after eating the Pocky in the end! He shook his head and handed the box over to Jaden.
"...I'm not interested. I don't like chocolate." Well, it wasn't an exact lie. He did sorta like chocolate, but he doesn't like sweets that much.
Jaden didn't seem bothered by his refusal. "Okay! See you, then!"
Zane watched the young tomboy skip away happily as she was chipping away one of the Pocky sticks, eating it like a cute hamster nibbling on food. Those peach-colored lips licking and biting onto the stick...Wait, what?
He might be a little delusional now. Time for a bit of a break. Wiping sweat off his forehead, Zane proceeded to continue drinking his beverage.
"Hey, Dr. Crowler! Wanna play the Pocky game with me?!"
The senior Obelisk Blue was close to choking on water when he heard such a comment from Jaden. Playing the game with a... up? Crowler, no less! Wait, this was Jaden he was thinking about. The idiotic, yet adorable girl that everyone wants to protect since she's like the innocent, rainbow pony baby that everyone cherishes.
"What? Absolutely not! And why are you, a Slifer Red, trespassing in the Obelisk Blue dorms? Detention!"
"But-"
"Oh? An objection? Make that a week's worth of detention!"
"But-"
"Two weeks!"
"You didn't even let me-"
"Three!"
"..."
"..."
"...Douchebag."
"A month's worth of detention then!"
"...I'm just...gonna keep quiet."
Yay! A Zane x Jaden chapter! Just for all you Zane x Jaden fangirls out there! I'll do another chapter like this, but with a different character, so I need ideas people! PLEASE!
That said, read and review and I won't update this for a while due to my dumb exams! See ya!
