Hehehehe...Hmmhmhmhmhm...AHAHAHAA! Finally! The time has finally come! Time to unleash my skills onto this new episode! And it's one of my favorites too because DARK MAGICIAN GIRL'S HERE! She's one of my favorite cards and I'm sure a lot of female duelists would love her in their decks!
What sort of costume will Jaden be in? White Magician Pikeru? A female version of Winged Kuriboh? Flame Wingman? NONE OF THE ABOVE! If you wanna know, read carefully and find out!~

"ATTENTION!" announced Flame Wingman, having gotten every bit of his available warrior in one of the most important missions they had to face. "Tommorow morning is where the operation will take place! Our top objective is to observe and if absolutely necessary, protect Jaden against any evil! ESPECIALLY BOYS!"
'Yup, he's lost it,' everyone thought, sweatdropping. For the past several days, Flame Wingman began organizing things in order to make the special operation tommorow a huge success but everyone already knew he was just being the overprotective father trying to look out for poor little Jaden.
Lady Heat raised her hand. "Flame Wingman, please do remember that we can't actually attack any humans with any of our powers. The only power we're allowed to have is our ability to fully interact with any human, but that's it."
"Yes, I know that! Which is more the reason why we must protect Jaden by any cost! With this temporary power, we can beat up anyone who dares to threaten Jaden's life!"
'But there's nobody after Jaden's life!' The rest of the Duel Spirits wished to protest, but kept their mouth shut. Knowing Flame Wingman, his stubborness was off the charts.
Still, they had to agree on one thing. They too, wished for Jaden's safety. Perhaps this operation consisting of Jaden's protection and observation over her wouldn't be so bad after all. Sure, it may serve to assure Flame Wingman, but he had a noble goal to protect Jaden no matter what because they all cared for him.
With that reason alone, their resolve to see this operation true filled them up with vigor and a need to accomplish it no matter what. All for Jaden's sake.
The next day...
All three dorms were setting up the Spirit Day Festival throughout their campus, arranging everything perfectly and setting up events that would be performed later on during the special day. Various different things were being set up, such as the Obelisk Blue area having much more elegant settings which included volunteers posing as waiters or waitresses possibly for extra credit. Around the Ra Yellow section, stations involving food and other games were being prepared and the Slifer Red areas didn't have much planned except for one special event that happened once every year.
At least one thing was in common for all three dorms; people cosplaying as Duel Monsters/
An orb of light floated down from the top of Duel Academy's building, hovering over the Obelisk Blue area where the Obelisk Blue had finished their preparations for their own version of the Spirit Day Festival. The orb of light happened to be a certain Duel Spirit observing all of the students having fun during the Spirit Day Festival, giggling in amusement.
"How fun!~ I have a feeling something fun's about to start soon!~" she spoke cheerfully, zooming across the entire festival.
"I apologize for making you wait," spoke a handsome-looking Obelisk Blue waiter as he set two cups of herbal tea onto Jasmine and Mindy's table, giving the girls a sweet smile. "Here's our special Obelisk Blue Blend. Please, enjoy."
Watching the handsome waiter leaving to attend to more of his duties, both Obelisk Blue girls gushed all over his good looks. "Wow, he's soooo cool!~" squealed Mindy.
"Yeah, now I'm definitely setting my eyes on him!~" agreed Jasmine before sipping her tea.
Around the Ra Yellow area, several visitors from the other dorms were exploring and trying out the games as well as some of the free food that the expert chefs in Ra Yellow cooked up.
"Welcome, welcome! This is Ra Yellow's special takoyaki!"
"Mmm!~ The Ra Yellow guys are all so hot! And the cotton candy they made is much more sweeter and fluffy than back at home!" said an Obelisk Blue girl as her friend was trying out one of the takoyaki.
"Their takoyaki's delicious, too!"
Meanwhile, at the Slifer Red Dorms, the students there were still trying to set up everything for their main event and were close to finishing the duel arena. Syrus was hurriedly strolling a paint cart, fixated on completely the duel arena where he accidentally tripped over paint cans nearby Chumley, causing a bit of a mess around himself.
Coughing from all of the dust, Syrus swept his hand around to clear the air before managing to inhale some clear breath. "Chumley, can't you see I'm trying to complete the duel arena? Go paint your sign somewhere else!"
"Sorry about that!" apologized Chumley sheepishly.
"So, what did you draw anyways?"
Glancing at the sign Chumley had been occupied with, both Slifer Reds saw a huge poster board consisting of the special cosplay duel that would later happen. Chumley's favorite Monsters, Des Koala and Des Kangaroo were featured on the poster to promote the cosplay duel.
"This looks amazing, Chumley!" praised Syrus. "But...I don't think a lot of people will be looking forward towards the cosplay duel if just Des Koala and Des Kangaroo are placed here. I know! In the center, you should put Dark Magician Girl here as well!"
"Hmm...Dark Magician Girl, huh? Not a bad plan, Sy. But..."
"What? What's wrong? Don't you like the idea?"
"No, that's not it. I just wanted both of my favorite Monsters to be put in here as well."
"Then just put them in the corner or something!"
"How could you ask me to do that, Sy? I love those guys!"
"Look, think of it like this," replied Syrus, standing up straight. "Jaden and the others haven't been focused lately because they're trying to find Professor Banner. But, if we get Dark Magician Girl on the poster for everyone to see, a lot of duelists are gonna come flocking towards the Slifer Red Dorm and waiting for the cosplay duel! Then, Jaden and the others will get all pumped up and forget about Professor Banner for the time being! We have to liven things up for everyone's sake!"
"Huh...When you put it like that way, alright! Now I'm really pumped up!" Now Chumley, having listened to Syrus' speech, was as enthusiastic than before and hasten in finishing his poster as Syrus continued arranging the duel arena.
"A cosplay duel? Sounds like fun!~" giggled the orb of light.
In the meantime, Jaden and some of her friends had gathered at the top level of the Slifer Red Dorms, glancing down aimlessly as they were lost in thought about Banner. Ever since Atticus made his fully recovery, the others focused on finding Banner as quickly as soon as possible, but it was as if he had vanished into thin air.
Jaden sighed. "Man, where could Professor Banner be?"
"The only explanation I could think of is that he was done in by another unknown Shadow Rider," spoke Alexis.
"Even if that were the case, that doesn't exactly clear up any suspicions about him," replied Bastion. "After all, he was the one who lured Atticus in the Abandoned Dorm and had him go through the Shadow Realm."
"Yes, that's true, but right now, we shouldn't just focus on Professor Banner. There's still yet another Shadow Rider we have to deal with," reminded Zane calmly.
"Well, I dunno about you guys, but I believe in Professor Banner!" said Jaden, still trusting and defending her teacher.
Then, Chazz started roaming around the Slifer Red Dorm grounds, holding a foxtail in his hands as he whistled for something. "Where are ya, you stupid cat? Come on out, already!"
"Hey, Chazz!" called out Jaden curiously. "What are you doing?"
"Duh! I'm using this to track down Banner's cat! That cat's everywhere with Banner! So, if we find him, we find Banner!" answered Chazz before continuing his search for the chubby cat.
Syrus, who was approaching the group, passed by Chazz who was still searching for Pharaoh. "Huh? What was Chazz doing...?"
"Oh! Sy! What's up?" wondered Jaden.
Syrus escorted the group towards the poster board Chumley completed, which was held up for all to see and know of the cosplay duel event that was about to happen soon, The cover of the poster board had famous Duel Monsters Dark Magician and Dark Magician girl enlisted, so many other people would clearly be intrigued.
"It's the Slifer Red's traditional event!" explained Syrus. "They do this once every year, and since we're first years, this'll be exciting for our first time!"
"Wow, a cosplay duel? Interesting!" said Atticus, impressed.
"We've only been to the festivals held in Ra Yellow and Obelisk Blue, so we never bothered going to the Slifer Red Dorms' festival before," replied Zane.
"By the way, if Dark Magician Girl's here, then during the cosplay duel, there has to be someone playing as her, right?" questioned Atticus. "Syrus, did you find someone?"
"Hmm? Actually...not really, no."
Atticus snapped his fingers. "Then, I've got the perfect one who could easily cosplay as her! Alexis!~"
"What?! No, I can't!" said Alexis. "I'm an Obelisk Blue, remember? Besides, I already have a costume! I don't want to be the Dark Magician Girl anyways! I already know what'll happen if I do and I don't need more fanboys flocking over to me! But I do have another solution!"
Within minutes, Alexis managed to make the arrangements inside the Slifer Red dining hall...with Dorothy posing and dressing as the Dark Magician Girl.
"Gaaaaahhh! My eyes! THEY BURN!" screamed Syrus.
Alexis sweatdropped as Chumley, Jaden, and Bastion were freaked out by the awful image of Dorothy as the Dark Magician Girl. "Oh yeah...forgot to tell you guys that she dresses up as the Dark Magician Girl every year," said Chumley.
"No! No! We can't accept this!" Syrus cried out. "Dark Magician Girl's supposed to be more cuter and beautiful and stuff like that!"
"Hey!" scolded Dorothy, taking offense by his comments. "I happen to be a very good Dark Magician Girl, thank you very much! See?" Once Dorothy posed as cutely as she could, the area underneath her armpit ripped a little, causing the others to freeze in horror and shock. "Oh my! I could have sworn this was a perfect fit last year!"
Yeah, there was no way any of them had the heart to tell Dorothy she'd make an awful Dark Magician Girl. Still, they had to give her points for attempting to. Unknown to any of them, the Duel Spirit of Dark Magician Girl had been eavesdropping and formulating a plan to resolve the problem.
Later...
As Chazz was trying to locate Pharaoh's whereabouts, Alexis had just put on her own costume. Her costume happened to be the main Harpie Lady, one of the famous Duel Monsters in history; she even had a magenta-colored wig to match up the hair color of the original Harpie Lady.
"Whoa! You really do look like Harpie Lady, Alexis!" complimented Chumley.
"Thanks, but...I also wanted a different costume. This was all they had for my size, though," admitted Alexis, not wishing for a flashy and revealing costume. "Mindy and Jasmine are going to be Harpie Ladies too, so we'll all be the Harpie Lady Sisters!"
"By the way," spoke up Syrus. "What's Jaden going to be as? In fact, has anyone seen her?"
"Oh, I helped out Jaden with her costume!" said Alexis, grinning. "Mostly on the hair and a little bit on the makeup. It's my special gift!~"
"Huh?"
As if one cue, Jaden entered the room, dressed in blue with pink linings as she wore a blue wizard's hat and held up a small wand as her cladded boots stepped onto the wooden floor. Her normally tomboyish hair was lowered and straightened more so she'd look more feminine and the light makeup Alexis applied to her really gave out her cute charms.
Jaden Yuki was dressed as the Dark Magician Girl.
Instantly, blood gushed out from Syrus' nose as he fell back, causing everyone to panic.
"Oh my god, Sy!"
"Aaaah! Someone get some napkins! Hurry!"
"Syrus...you really love the Dark Magician Girl too much."
In other words, Jaden + Dark Magician Girl costume = OVERLOAD SYRUS.
Several minutes after that, Syrus managed to finally calm down with two napkins plunged in his nostrils as he stared at Jaden lovingly. "W-why are you dressed like that, Jaden?"
"Oh? I wanted to participate in the cosplay duel, so I figured I'd dress up as Dark Magician Girl!" replied Jaden, posing cutely for Syrus and winking at him.
Meanwhile, Syrus was still dazed in his own fantasies over the fact that one of them was accomplished. 'I can't believe it! Jaden's Dark Magician Girl! It's like a dream come true! My favorite card and my crush banding together! OMG OMG OMG OMG!'
"Hey, what's that noise?" spoke up Chumley.
Hearing some strange noises outside, they rushed outside to see Chazz approaching them, dressed in heavy armor, but also known as XYZ Dragon Cannon.
"Whoooaaa! Chazz is dressed up as XYZ Dragon Cannon!" gasped Jaden, amazed as sparkles twinkled all around her.
"Definitely! Coolest guy costume I've seen all day!" complimented Chumley.
"Hmph! Obviously!" scoffed Chazz coolly. "What idiot wouldn't pick such an awesome costume like this?"
"Yeah, it does look pretty awesome," agreed Alexis, impressed.
"Awww! If I knew there was a costume like that, I'd totally pick it!" complained Jaden.
Chazz glanced at Jaden's direction and stared at her...before blood gushed from his name the same way Syrus was knocked out. He easily landed on his back thanks to the heavy weight his costume provided, and as blood trailed from his nostrils, drool came down from his mouth.
"Oh no, not Chazz!"
"Why does this keep happening?!"
"Great, we need more tissues!"
While everyone hurried to assist Chazz and stop the bleeding, Chazz was lost in his own thoughts and fantasies about Jaden just as much as Syrus did before. 'Man...I should have brought a camera...why didn't I get a goddamn camera...?! Well, at least one dream was accomplished for me...'
"Huh? Chazz, your face is red!" pointed out Syrus once they helped him recover from his sudden blood explosion and aided him in standing up. 'Darn...I can definitely tell why he suddenly went out like that! Jaden is mine!'
"S-shut it!" sputtered Chazz, marching away slowly due to the heaviness of his costume. "Damn costume...alright, let's get the whole cosplay duel over and done with!"
Chazz and the rest of the group approached the duel arena Syrus set up, which the outside was surrounded by students and other spectators dressed as other Duel Monsters, who were impressed by the costumes the group had on. Several boys even hooted and cheered for Jaden and Alexis, finding their costumes more sexier and attractive the most.
Irritated, Syrus and Chazz wished they had the power to completely annihilate the entire planet of other perverted boys so that they could have Jaden to themselves but unofrtunately for them, wishes don't really come true that easily.
Arriving at the main event and standing behind the front liners, Flame Wingman along with some of his other fellow Elemental Hero allies spotted Jaden dressed as Dark Magician Girl, shocking them.
"W-w-w-w-why is she dressed like that?!" demanded Flame Wingman, shaking Avian back and forth. "Who put her in that? That costume's way too revealing! How many people saw her?! I demand to know!"
"H-H-H-hey! I don't know!" cried out Avian as the others pulled Flame Wingman away. "We just got here, remember? Maybe she chose that costume!"
"IMPOSSIBLE!"
"Alright, that's enough!" announced Chazz, making the audience quiet down for the main event to start. He pointed to Jaden and continued, "Who's got the balls to try and challenge Jaden Yuki; AKA, Dark Magician Girl?!"
Instantly, hands rose up from all across the audience and loud voices echoed throughout the field as some students tried to wave their arms and stand up, hoping to be chosen.
"Eh? Me right off the bat?" wondered Jaden, surprised before grinning. "Awesome! Chazz, do you wanna duel me, then?"
"NO! NO! NO! NO!" yelled Flame Wingman, frailing his arms around. It took some of his fellow Elemental Heroes to hold him back. Luckily for then, Flame Wingman can't used his ability to unleash fire across the entire field to burn everything to the ground, but it seems that he still kept his physical strength, much to their dismay.
"Calm down! I'm sure Jaden will be fine! It's just a regular duel!" grunted Bubbleman.
Chazz desperately wanted to say yes to Jaden, but shook his head. "I...can't. I have to do the stupid commentary. Damnit...duel me later, Jaden! In that costume!"
"Huh? Okay!"
"NOOOO!"
"Do you guys hear that?" wondered Jaden, scratching her head. "Eh, whatever. What about you, Chumley?"
"Sorry, can't. Working behind the scenes today."
"Okay, then how about Syrus?"
Syrus smiled, feeling extremely lucky today. "Of course I-"
"HE CAN'T," emphasized Chazz, pulling Syrus back. "He has to do the uh...broad casting! Yeah! That! So, he can't duel you!" 'Damn you, Syrus for trying to make a move on her! If I can't duel her, neither can you!'
FLASH! A white light flashed from the other direction as well a snapping sound being heard before everyone turned, seeing Atticus with a camera. "Atticus! What are you doing?" asked Alexis, having a funny suspicion her brother was up to no good again.
"Oh, just taking some innocent pictures for the festival!"
"Yeah, right! Lemme see those pictures!"
Atticus lightly laughed. "Alright, alright, you got me! I'm actually thinking of sending them to your fan club! ...And I'm out! Bye!" Realizing his mistake of revealing his intentions to his siter, Atticus made a run for it, which appeared to be the right call for him.
"Wait! Atticus! Come back!" yelled Alexis, chasing after him.
A smirk crawled onto Chazz's face as he thought, 'Awesome! I bet if I talk to Atticus later, he'll definitely give me some pictures of Jaden if he manages to get them!'
"Aww...Now I don't have anyone to duel," complained Jaden, feeling sadden.
"Um...Excuse me! I'd like to duel!" called out a girl appearing exactly like the real Dark Magician Girl. She even has the same costume as Jaden and her hair was just like the real thing as well.
The audience's attention turned to the Dark Magician Girl lookalike and instantly, they were enticed by her beautiful appearance. In fact, they couldn't decide who they should be cheering for; Jaden as the Dark Magician Girl, or the other Dark Magician Girl.
"Whoa, check it out!"
"Two Dark Magician Girls? I hope they duel!"
"I wished I bought my camera!"
"No, a recorder more like it!"
Sensing the presence of another Duel Spirit, the Elemental Heroes glanced at one another, knowing full well what this meant. In the Spirit Duel, Dark Magician Girl was well-known as the apprentice of Dark Magician and was well-loved by a lot of Duel Spirits. Her dueling Jaden was better than Jaden dueling any other boys, and they did trust the kindhearted Duel Spirit, so in a way, they approved.
"So, can I duel?" asked Dark Magician Girl kindly.
"Of course you can!" agreed Chazz, finding the event more exciting this way."As head of this whole cosplay duel committee, I approve!"
"Wait, you are?" questioned Jaden.
"Ah, who cares?! It doesn't matter! Two Dark Magician Girls dueling each other will be a major hit this year!" exclaimed Syrus excitedly as his heart started pounding faster and faster.
Dark Magician Girl giggled and winked at the group. "I'll do my best, so don't hesitate to go all out on me!"
While everyone stood back and seated to watch the main event at the Slifer Red Dorms, Zane and two others, Crowler and Bastion, arrived in time for the main event to begin. Out of the three of them, Bastion was the only one to wear a costume resembling that of Tania's pet tiger; condolences towards her.
"Ooh! It appears like a duel's about to begin! I wonder who's dueling who?" questioned Crowler, curious.
Examining the field thoroughly, Bastion blinked. "Oh my...Never would I ever see the day...It appears that Jaden's dressing as the Dark Magician Girl! And dueling her would be...another Dark Magician Girl!"
"Why that's ridicu-" The moment Crowler laid eyes on the field, his jaw dropped. "TWO DARK MAGICIAN GIRLS?! AND ONE OF THEM'S JADEN?! I MUST BE HAVING A NIGHTMARE! SOMEONE PINCH ME!"
"Okay." Zane pinched Crowler.
"OW! I DIDN'T MEAN LITERALLY!"
While Crowler was spazzing out, Zane glanced over towards Jaden. He's not really one for cosplay, but he has to admit, her costume did make her shine beautifully, even if unintentionally. But he wasn't a pervert, so he paid more attention on the duel that was about to begin.
"Testing! Testing! Testing!" announced Chazz, using the speakers high above for all to hear.
Syrus was excited that two Dark Magician Girls were about to duke it out! Here! In his own special duel arena he set up all by himself! He was so excited that he started crying tears of joy, having forgotten he was part of the commentary.
"SYRUS! QUIT THINKING PERVY THINGS ABOUT THE TWO HOTTIES AND GET BACK TO THE RINGSIDE COMMENTATOR BOOTH!"
"Did he just say what I think he just said...?" growled Flame Wingman, tempting to stand up and walk towards Chazz's location. Perhaps he should use oil and a lighter to burn him, or maybe another torture method? Anything so long as he dies suffering.
"Flame Wingman, do you wish for me to claw him to death?" questioned Escuridao, raising her dark claws.
"No! None of you are doing anything!" exclaimed Burstinatrix, helping the others pull the two of them down.
"Ow! Ow! Ow! Okay, okay! I'm coming!" shouted Syrus, rushing back to Chazz's side with his ears still ringing. Pressing his microphone in the ON button, Syrus cleared his throat and began, "Alright, introducing the main event for today! The cosplay duel between Jaden Yuki and the other mysterious Dark Magician Girl! Now, doing commentary and the broadcasting are both me and XYZ Dragon Cannon!"
The crowd weren't so amused and enthusiastic as Syrus and Chazz, wishing to see the duel starting already as they voiced their complaints loudly and clearly.
"That's fine, but just hurry up!"
"Yeah! I wanna see the two hotties duke it out!"
"Cat fight! Cat fight!"
"Booo!"
"Hurry up!"
"Get on with it already!"
Syrus sweatdropped. "R-right! Now, to my left, it's Jaden Yuki! Also known as the Dark Magician Girl!"
"Eh?" Looking around, Jaden saw that everyone's gazes were upon her. Recalling some things she saw in TV shows and in Alexis' magazines, she winked and posed cutely for the crowd. "H-Hope you all root for me!~"
"OOOOOOHHHHHH!" Her attempts seemed to have been very effective, as it captured the hearts of every male in the crowd, with the exception of Flame Wingman and a few of his overprotective companions as they were being held back from slaughtering the crowd.
"Jaden, you're so cuteeee!~" squealed Syrus, ticking off Chazz.
"You do realize that you just said that out loud, right?"
"Oh, no!"
However, Jaden saw this as very cute and sweet from Syrus and winked at him, waving as well. "Awww! That's so sweet, Sy!" She kissed the back of her palm and blew it towards Syrus in an air kiss; something he eagerly caught.
Unfortunately, Chazz took that moment to crush the imaginary air kiss.
"Gaaaah! Chazz, you jerk! Why'd you do that!"
"Hey, if I don't one, no one does! Let's just continue! To the other side is Dark Magician Girl!"
"Please cheer me on!~" pleaded Dark Magician Girl. Since her body was more mature and beautiful, she was able to gain more fans and cheers from the crowd, especially from Syrus, who couldn't help himself.
"Alright, duelists! Begin the duel!"
As the two female duelists activated their duel disks, Jaden glanced up at her opponent. "Dunno who you are, but best of luck! Get your game on!"
"Hey, thanks! You look absolutely cute, by the way!~" complimented Dark Magician Girl.
"DUEL!"
- DUEL -
Dark Magician Girl - 4000 LP
VS
Jaden - 4000 LP
"Alright, me first!~" sang Dark Magician Girl, drawing her card. "Ooh! I set a Monster facedown and end my turn!"
The crowd began cheering and rooting out for Dark Magician Girl, praising her for her defensive move. "Yeah! You go, Dark Magician Girl!"
Sweatdropping, Jaden drew her card before grinning. "Alright! I summon Elemental Hero Bubbleman in Attack Mode!"
Elemental Hero Bubbleman - (WATER/Warrior) - LV4 - (800/1200)
"Wow! Such a strong-looking Monster! And with that, do you know any of his special effects, Chazz?" asked Syrus to entertain the crowd.
Chazz nodded. "Now that Bubbleman's out, if there aren't any other cards left on the field, she gets to draw two more cards from her deck."
After drawing her two cards, Jaden revealed the two cards from her hand, ready to activate them. "Now I play the Spell card, Polymerization! I fuse together Burstinatrix and Bubbleman in order to Fusion Summon Elemental Hero Steam Healer!"
A mechanically-armored Monster whose color schemes consist of purple and pink emerged on the field with steam shooting out of his pipes on his back.
Elemental Hero Steam Healer - (WATER/Warrior/Fusion) - LV5 - (1800/1000)
"Now, Steam Healer! Attack her facedown Monster!"
As Steam Healer charged towards the set Monster, it flipped over, revealing to be Fire Sorcerer in Defense Mode. Although her defense was high, it wasn't enough against Steam Healer.
Fire Sorcerer - (FIRE/Spellcaster) - LV4 - (1000/1500)
"Wow! Fire Sorcerer! That was Dark Magician Girl's facedown Monster! And now her special Flip effect will activate!" spoke Syrus.
"Here I go!~" sang Dark Magician Girl. "I activate Fire Sorcerer's Flip effect! Thanks to her Flip effect, I randomly discard two cards from my hand and remove them from play! Then, she deals 800 Points of Damage towards you!"
"Yeah! Do it with a cute expression, Dark Magician Girl!~"
The crowd agreed with Syrus as they urged and cheered loudly for Dark Magician Girl to do so. Granting their wishes, she smiled and winked before thrusting her arm forward for a signal for Fire Sorcerer to unleash her fire wrath as well as appear both cute and amazing at the same time.
Fire Sorcerer formed a fireball between her palms before throwing it at Jaden, causing her to get caught up by the flames as she tried shielding herself.
Dark Magician Girl - 4000 LP
Jaden - 3200 LP
Quickly recovering, Jaden declared, "I activate Steam Healer's effect! Whenever he destroys a Monster by battle, my Life Points are restored by the amount of Attack Points the destroyed Monster had!"
Steam Healer let loose a blast of steam from one of his gauntlets, blasting Fire Sorcerer. Sighing in relief, Jaden felt a big rejuvenated from the special effect Steam Healer had.
Dark Magician Girl - 4000 LP
Jaden - 4200 LP
"I end my turn!"
Once again, the audience cheered for Jaden just as they did with Dark Magician Girl. It seems there were those on one side of the other, but most of the people in the audience were rooting for both beauties. It didn't seem like they cared who won, but they wanted to see some girl-on-girl action against each other.
"Wow, I feel bad for Jaden," admitted Bastion. "Who knew she had this many fans cheering for her? She must have it hard concentrating!"
"If only she used all this concentration in class!" muttered Crowler.
Zane sighed, crossing his arms. "Boys will be boys, I guess."
"My turn!~" cried out Dark Magician Girl, drawing her card. The crowd shifted gears and hollered cheerfully while Jaden and Steam Healer sweatdropped. "I summon Magician's Valkyria in Attack Mode!"
Magician's Valkyria - (LIGHT/Spellcaster) - LV4 - (1600/1800)
"Nice one!" complimented Syrus. "As long as Magician's Valkyria is on the field, Jaden can't attack any other Spellcaster-Type Monsters out except for her!"
"Hey! I'm doing all the commentary too, remember?!" shouted Chazz.
"Uh...better luck next time?"
"Now, I play the Spell card, Dimension Fusion!" announced Dark Magician Girl. "By paying 2000 Life Points, we can Special Summon as many Monsters that were removed from play onto our field! I'll Special Summon the two cards I removed from play earlier! Dark Magician Girl and Magician's Valkyria!~"
Magician's Valkyria - (LIGHT/Spellcaster) - LV4 - (1600/1800)
Dark Magician Girl - (DARK/Spellcaster) - LV6 - (2000/1700)
Dark Magician Girl - 2000 LP
Jaden - 4200 LP
The crowd grew excited not just from Dark Magician Girl's amazing move of Special Summon three powerful Monsters, but also the infamous Duel Monster, Dark Magician Girl herself!
"Huh...strange," spoke up Bastion. "I thought the only person to even own the Dark Magician Girl card was Yugi Muto himself. It's awfully rare to see someone else with such a rare card."
"Now, I'll attack with my special card! Dark Magician Girl! Dark Burning Attack!"
Soaring high in the air, Dark Magician Girl charged her magic into her wand before firing an orb of darkness towards Steam Healer, destroying him.
Dark Magician Girl - 2000 LP
Jaden - 4000 LP
"Boy, that was tough!" admitted Jaden, thankful that Steam Healer managed to put up some defense for her so that the amount of damage was greatly lessened.
"I'm not done yet!~" Dark Magician Girl chirped, raising her arms to signal both her Magician Valkyrias to soar up at the sky. "Both my Magician Valkyrias! Attack her directly!"
With the combo forces of the sister-like duo, the two Magician Valkyrias clashed their staffs together to combine a surging ball of magic before tossing it at Jaden, causing a huge explosion.
Dark Magician Girl - 2000 LP
Jaden - 800 LP
Having recovered, Jaden's face revealed an excited smirk. "Heh...this is getting pretty intense!"
"I'll end my turn!~ Show me what you got, Jaden!~"
Jaden nodded and drew her card. "Draw! First, I play the Spell card, Fusion Recovery! It adds a Polymerization and a Fusion-Material Monster from my Graveyard back to my hand! I'll take Polymerization and Burstinatrix from my Graveyard and add them to my hand!"
At the mention of both cards, Flame Wingman caught attention and felt excited. "Yes...Yes...! Take Avian! Take Avian and use him with those two cards!"
"You must REALLY want to be there. Well, your other holographic self, technically," spoke Burstinatrix, rolling her eyes.
"And, with these two cards!" started Jaden, raising them in the air. "Along with another Elemental Hero from my hand-!"
"Yes...Yes...YES!"
"I fuse Burstinatrix with Necroshade in order to Fusion Summon Elemental Hero Escuridao!"
"...What. WHAT?!"
Once the two Monsters fused, all that was left was the female DARK Attribute Monster with darkness dripping out through her aura as she curled up her long, sharp nails at her opponent.
Elemental Hero Escuridao - (DARK/Warrior/Fusion) - LV8 - (2500/2000)
"NOOOOOOOOOOOO!" wailed Flame Wingman, collapsing to his knees as his cries were unheard through the louder cheers from the audience. "She. Had. Avian! I. Saw. Her. Hand! Why? Why didn't she use him?!"
His allies turned to him with deadpanned expressions. "I can think of LOTS of reasons why," sighed Bubbleman, crossing his arms. Being protective was good, but Flame Wingman always took it to a new level. Along with some of the other Elemental Heroes.
The real Escuridao simply placed a hand on her leader's back. "Do not worry. I'm sure my counterpart will protect our master. Besides, there's her special ability, remember?"
"I activate Escuridao's special ability!" announced Jaden. "For every Elemental Hero in the Graveyard, she gains 100 extra Attack Points! There are 4 Elemental Heroes in my Graveyard, so that means she gains 400 extra Attack Points!"
Elemental Hero Escuridao - (DARK/Warrior/Fusion) - LV8 - (2900/2000)
"Ooh! Just what are you going to do now?" wondered Dark Magician Girl, leaning forward. "It's pretty impressive you got a really wicked Monster out! But my two Magician Valkyria will protect each other due to their special abilities! It's like an unbroken chain!"
"Don't worry! I'm not done!" replied Jaden. "First, I'll set a card facedown! Now, I'll use Necroshade's special ability from the Graveyard! Once during this duel, I can Normal Summon a high leveled Elemental Hero from my hand without sacrificing anything! I'll bring out one of my tough Monsters! Elemental Hero Bladedge!"
Elemental Hero Bladedge - (EARTH/Warrior) - LV7 - (2600/1800)
"Whoa! While Dark Magician Girl has the top defense in this duel, Jaden's got the top offense! They saw defense is the best offense, but it's the same for the opposite!" announced Syrus excitedly. "Who will triumph?! Defense vs Offense?!"
In this particular situation, this served a problem for both sides as they didn't know how to exactly counterattack each other. One side had full defense no matter how strong their opponent was, but on the other hand, the other side had huge strength in power, but was no match for the opponent's defense at the same time. This could end up in a draw or a one-sided duel. There are very few ways to win under certain conditions like these such as one side unable to draw anymore cards, thus declaring the other side the victor. But both sides knew they didn't want a victory like that, so one way or another, they'd have to think of a new strategy with their newly obtained cards.
"I'll end my turn with that!"
"Hmm...I'm a bit worried," admitted Dark Magician Girl, frowning. "I'm not sure if I can beat her...Her Monsters and facedowns all look so scary..."
Attempting to encourage her, the crowd cheered, "Don't worry! You can do it, Dark Magician Girl!"
Trusting in her fans, Dark Magician Girl nodded. "Okay! You're right! My turn! Draw! Ah! Thank you, everyone! I activate the Equip Spell card, Magic Formula, raising Dark Magician Girl's Attack Points by 700!"
Dark Magician Girl - (DARK/Spellcaster) - LV6 - (2700/1700)
"Even if I can't beat Escuridao, I'll still take care of your Bladedge!" declared Dark Magician Girl confidently. "Go! Dark Burning Attack!"
Seeing the orb of dark energy heading straight for Bladedge, he shielded himself with his arms as Jaden took this chance to strike back.
"I activate my Trap, Staunch Defender!" cried out Jaden. "I can only activate this card when you declare an attack! Then, I select a Monster on my field, and all your Monsters have to attack that Monster! I choose Escuridao!"
"Huh? What's going on, Chazz?" Syrus wondered, giving the microphone to Chazz.
"Oh, so NOW you want my help! Well, whatever! Staunch Defender allowed Jaden to choose a Monster on her field, and it's an automatic battle whether Dark Magician Girl wants to or not. She HAS to attack with all of her Monsters this turn. And since they're weaker than Jaden's Monster, it's clear what's gonna happen next!"
"No...But Dark Magician Girl will lose next turn!"
Those rooting for Dark Magician Girl started sobbing uncontrollably while in the background, the Elemental Heroes were cheering for Jaden's success. If this strategy pulls through, then that means Jaden will win!
Escuridao leapt in front of Bladedge to reflect the orb of dark energy that was sent by Dark Magician Girl. Due to her successful blocking, the orb of dark energy was sent propelling back towards Dark Magician Girl, who took the impact of the explosive power.
Dark Magician Girl - 1800 LP
Jaden - 800 LP
Seeing the gloomy faces of her fans, Dark Magician Girl still kept up a smile on her face as she waved to the crowd. "It's alright, everyone! Even if I lose, at the very least, I did have some fun dueling! So bring it on, Jaden! Let's end this!"
Due to Staunch Defender, both Magician Valkyrias were forced into battle as they flew up in the air, preparing to initiate their attack in hopes of taking down Escuridao. Escuridao extended the sharpness of her claws before slashing at the two female Spellcasters, defeating them with ease.
Dark Magician Girl - 0 LP
Jaden - 800 LP
Winner: Jaden
Despite losing, Dark Magician Girl still had a cheerful attitude even after all the hard work she's done. "Aww! I lost! That's a shame! Still, nice duel, Jaden!"
"Yeah! You too! That's game!" giggled Jaden, showing off her usual finger posture.
Even though one of their favorites lost, the audience still applauded for the two for all their hard efforts placed in the cosplay duel. Really, it was entertaining watching two girls cosplaying as Dark Magician Girl going all out on each other. A few minutes later, the audience dispersed to enjoy the other activities of the Spirit Day Festival.
"Yes! Yes! Jaden won! I knew she could do it! She always wins her duels!" cheered Flame Wingman, completely forgiving Jaden for not Fusion Summoning him. Well, he was going to forgive her either way, so it didn't really matter.
"Not all of her duels," pointed out Bubbleman. "She didn't win against Zane in their first duel, remember?"
At the mention of the heinous third-year known as Zane, Flame Wingman's aura darkened as he held up his draconic arm. "Yes...that's right...We were on a mission to eliminate Jaden's rivals...specifically him..."
Burstinatrix sighed and patted his shoulder. "No, Flame Wingman. We're here to OBSERVE. Remember? And then we'd help out Jaden if she ever got in trouble. That's the deal, remember?"
"...Fine. But I will be keeping a very close eye on the boys. Especially...Atticus Rhodes."
Avian blinked. "Why him?"
"From the information we've managed to gather, Atticus Rhodes apparently is very popular with girls. There's no doubt in my mind that he would grow some sort of interest in Jaden," answered Flame Wingman. "And I refuse to allow my Jaden to date a flirtatious man like him!"
"You don't allow her to date anyone," the others replied monotonously.
"Which raises her safety privileges by 100%!"
Glancing around out of boredom, Necroshade spotted Jaden dragging along Chazz, or at least trying to. She had grabbed his hand and tried to drag him around, but with Chazz still wearing the XYZ Dragon Cannon suit, it would have taken more people to shove him forward.
Unfortunately, Flame Wingman spotted the two. It was quite clear that he was so enraged, some innocent bystanders backed away from the overprotective Duel Spirit.
Just before Flame Wingman could teach Chazz a lesson, his path was blocked by none other than Armed Dragon LV7. Not only him, but the rest of the Armed Dragon franchise and accompanied with the Dark Scorpions and the Ojama Trio brothers.
"Oh, cool! Look over there! A mock battle's about to happen!" spoke out a student as a crowd started gathering around the Duel Spirits. They thought it was all part of the festival since the actual Duel Spirits appeared ready to duke it out.
"Sweet! Awesome!"
"I wanna see them fight!"
"Wow! They have wicked costumes!"
"Yeah, they look real!"
"How did they manage to get small people to fit in those costumes?"
"We won't let you ruin Boss' day!" declared Ojama Yellow.
"Yeah! Sooner or later, Chazz is gonna get some!" said Don Zaloog.
The rest of the Elemental Heroes sighed, getting ready to fight alongside Flame Wingman since they knew he'd do anything to protect Jaden. Well, they were in the same boat as well since they'd also risk their lives to help out Jaden no matter what.
Their only hopes were pinned on Winged Kuriboh, who was currently following after Chazz and Jaden.
With Chazz and Jaden...
Chazz, having discarded his XYZ Dragon Cannon costume, tried to keep an eye out on the road ahead of them as he constantly kept trying to touch Jaden's hand lightly and glancing back and forth towards her. Yeah, no way was he showing his romantic interest right out there in public.
"Ooh! Ooh! I wanna try that game!" cried out Jaden happily, pointing to a game similar to Whac-A-Mole. However, instead of machine moles, there were students popping their heads in and out of the wide holes.
After paying for the game, Chazz recognized some of them being the former "friends" he had before leaving Duel Academy temporarily. His grin couldn't get much more wider and menacingly as he held a toy mallet, preparing to deliver some devastating blows.
The student in charge of the Whac-A-Mole game explained, "First place for the game was 30 hits! If you can surpass that score within 15 seconds, you win a grand prize!"
This sounded too sweet a deal for Chazz! Not only did he get to exact his revenge on the students, but he might actually get the chance to win the prize for Jaden!
"Ready...set...BEGIN!" announced the student, pressing the timer on his watch to begin the game.
The second the timer starter, Chazz unleashed his wrath onto the mole-like students, banging their heads multiple times at a fast pace as the score meter tracked down points. Since Chazz was rushing, Jaden couldn't see the speed Chazz placed in his moles. All that could be heard throughout the game were Chazz's grunts, the cries from the mole-like students getting their heads banged, and the squeaky sounds coming from the toy mallet.
"And...DONE!" The student's eyes went wide at the high amount of points labeled in the score meter. "Wow...60 Points? That's a new record! Alright, you get the grand prize! Which one will it be?"
Seeing Jaden eyeing a Blue-Eyes White Dragon plushie, Chazz pointed to that exact plushie. The student handed the plushie over with a smile. "Nice one! Enjoy the carnival with your girlfriend!"
Chazz's face flustered red before shoving the plushie at Jaden. "She's not my girlfriend!"
Gasping, Jaden's lower lip quivered. "W-what? I'm not your...friend?"
Seeing how she was about to tear up, Chazz's solution to changing the topic was the sight of a takoyaki stand. "Hey, look. Takoyaki."
"What?! Where?!" Seeing the takoyaki stand, Jaden shrieked in happiness before running off.
Moments later, Chazz and Jaden were sitting on a bench, having to share a small plate of takoyaki together. Chazz took his toothpick and plunged in onto a takoyaki, about to eat it when he heard a soft pluck on the ground.
Looking down, he saw a takoyaki on the ground and turned to see Jaden breathing in and out with a tired expression on her face. Jaden had been so excited for the Spirit Day Festival that she couldn't sleep, but now she was paying the price for lack of sleep.
"Hmm..." Poking Jaden's cheek with his takoyaki, Chazz gained her attention. "Here. Open up."
Too tired to say anything else at the moment, Jaden opened her mouth and allowed him to fill it in with the takoyaki. She chewed and then swallowed before widening her mouth, having regained a bit of her energy.
"More...please..."
In the end, Chazz ended up giving all of the takoyaki to Jaden, who ate them all without complaint. Still, the cute, sleepy expression on her mouth was well worth it for Chazz. In addition, Jaden fell asleep, laying her head on his lap, so that was a huge bonus as well. Nothing could go wrong!
"Gh...That was a tough battle," muttered Flame Wingman, battered up from the "mock battle" that took place before. Spotting Jaden with Chazz, it didn't take a genius to figure out his reaction.
Chazz rubbed Jaden's back comfortably, feeling a blush form on his face as he started to touch her soft skin, poking her bare shoulder with his finger as he tried to wake her up. On that note, something ominous overshadowed him as he felt himself being picked up by the back collar of his black coat.
"Hey, what are-?!" His words were halted by the angry glare of Flame Wingman.
"You and I. Talk. Say your prayers."
"JADEEN!" screamed Chazz, being tossed onto Flame Wingman's shoulder and being carried away. Meanwhile, Jaden was peacefully enjoying her nap as Chazz prayed that nothing bad would happen to him.
Unlikely.
About a few minutes later...
"Jaden! Jaden!" Shaking Jaden by the shoulder, Syrus tried to wake her up from her slumber.
Grogging a little, Jaden succeeded in waking up as she sat up, rubbing her eyes. In all honesty, if Syrus leaned in a bit more, he could see a bit of her cleavage from her costume, but decided to go against such thoughts and simply sat next to her, glancing at the ground.
With the Blue-Eyes White Dragon plushie in her arms, Jaden remembered about Chazz and stood up. "Chazz! Where'd he go?"
"Huh? What do you mean, Jay?"
"Well, I was hanging out with Chazz and I think I fell asleep! And then, when I woke up, he wasn't here!"
"What?!" 'Wait a minute...could that mean...JADEN WAS ON A DATE WITH CHAZZ?! NOOOO!' thought Syrus, horrified. 'Wait a minute...he's not here! And if he's not here, this could be my huge chance! I'll take Jaden out on a date! And since she's not really used to this sort of thing, it'll be like an unofficial date! Yeah! And I'll show her how good of a dater I am! Plus, she's still wearing the Dark Magician Girl costume! Bonus!'
"Ooh! Look over there! Ice cream!" When it came to sweets, Jaden had a sort of sixth sense around them due to her love for them, especially ice cream.
'Of course! Ice cream! A good couple would want ice cream! In fact, I'll buy some for Jaden!' thought Syrus, determined to do everything in his power to make the 'date' perfect. "What flavor would you like, Jaden?"
"Chocolate and strawberry!"
Confused, Syrus thought, 'Strawberry? I thought Jaden didn't like that flavor?' Shrugging his shoulders, Syrus went to the ice cream stand to pay for a two scooped ice cream before heading back. "Here, the ice cream."
"Aww, thanks!~" cooed Jaden, licking the chocolate ice cream first before offering the cone to Syrus. "Here, you take a bite, too! After all, strawberry's your favorite flavor, right?"
"Huh? You mean...?" 'Jaden purposely had me get strawberry for my sake? Wow...'
Nodding, Syrus licked not only the strawberry flavor part, but also the chocolate flavor as well. 'Mmm! So good! Wait, could this be considered...an INDIRECT KISS?!'
After they finished the ice cream together, Syrus and Jaden explored part of the festival, playing games and obtaining small prizes no matter how they won or lost. Eventually, they came across a simple game; Ring Toss.
Seeing the sparkles in Syrus' gleaming eyes, Jaden followed his gaze and noticed he wanted a peculiar toy; a super rare Dark Magician Girl figurine. In fact, it wasn't just Syrus, but a bunch of other fanboys who wanted the figurine, seeing how they were lined up.
With a new plan formulating inside her mind, it was times like these that Jaden chose to be smart. "Hey, Sy? Could you go get us some drinks?"
"Huh? O-Okay..." agreed Syrus, complying with her request before rushing off to serve her order. Jaden got to the back of the line and awaited for the line to hurry up, intending on getting the grand prize for Syrus since she knew Dark Magician Girl was one of his favorites.
As Syrus wandered around to find a vending machine, he felt something hit him in the back of his neck before falling unconscious. Catching him in his arms was Wildheart, who carried him behind some trees.
"Flame Wingman! Seriously?!" questioned Sparkman.
"I won't hear of it! It's all for Jaden's sake!" declared Flame Wingman, defending himself with that line of logic.
"By the way, where did you put Chazz anyways?"
"Nowhere. He escaped. Next time I see him, it'll be a trip to the dumpsters."
"Flame Wingman!"
"Relax, he'll be okay! Now, where to put Syrus?"
"Whatever it is, we're not placing him in a dumpster!"
Later...
"Aww...I only got was the Celtic Guardian sword..." pouted Jaden, holding onto the toy sword she managed to win at the Ring Toss game. "Well, at least I won something for Syrus, so it wasn't all that bad."
Glancing around, Jaden saw Atticus setting up a simple-looking booth as it stated: KISSING BOOTH in bold letters. Walking up for a close examination, she failed to realize that she was the first in line while girls, most presumably fangirls of Atticus, started lining up behind Jaden, ecstatic to pay for a single kiss.
"Hey, Hey, Atticus! What's up?" asked Jaden, walking up to him.
Grinning, Atticus eyed her from head to toe, rubbing his chin. "Oh, it's part of a donation to help the poor cute animals in the Animal Club at Duel Academy!"
"We have an Animal Club?"
"Yup! Just got reviewed and opened last month! It's for caring for sick animals like puppies and kitties."
Jaden gasped; sparkles in her eyes. "I wanna join! I wanna join!"
"Well, lucky for you that I'm the President of the club! Just sign in a form and we can get you started for our next meeting next week! But for now..."
Come to think of it, it would be a little cruel to ask Jaden to pay for a kiss. After all, from Zane and Syrus' details, Jaden seemed mostly the type to spend everything on every little thing she sees. That's when Atticus came up with a brilliant decision.
"Ladies! The first ten girls in line get a free kiss from moi!~"
That certainly caught everyone's attention as his fangirls squealed and leapt up in down wioth joy. Well, anyone obtaining something free would be happy, and in this case, it was Atticus.
"Ooh! I don't have to pay anything?! Sweet! And I'm the first in line!" said Jaden.
Zane, who had been watching for a while ago out of curiosity, reached over and grabbed Jaden by the hand. "Come with me," he said.
Pouring, Atticus called out, "No fair! Zane! I was like, two seconds away from kissing her!"
"Awww! What's wrong, Zane? Why'd you stop?" asked Jaden.
"...There's free puppies in the Obelisk Blue area."
Immediantly, Jaden forgot all that's happened. "Ooh! Puppies!"
With Atticus...
"Aw..." Still a little distraught over what happened, Atticus turned to the next girl in line, which happened to be a very young woman in a sort of red body suit.
"...I saw what you tried to do," spoke Burstinatrix, crossing her arms.
"Huh?"
Fire flaring up in her eyes, Burstinatrix yanked onto his ear and started dragging him away, ignoring his cries of pain. Some of his fangirls started protesting and saying things like "Let him go!" or "What are you doing with him?!"
Burstinatrix's simple answer was this: "Yugi Muto, Seto Kaiba, and Joey Wheeler are in the parking lot, awaiting autographs and free kisses."
And just like that, Atticus' fangirls turned tail and screamed for their idols' names, leaving Atticus alone with Burstinatrix.
"Wait a minute...We don't have a parking lot!" cried out Atticus. "And Miss, could you let me go? Your grip is tighter than steel!"
"After I teach you a lesson."
"What did I do?!"
Glaring at him coldly despite having eyes that could flare up a storm, Burstinatrix answered, "It'd be fine if it were some harmless flirting, some light touching, and whatnot, but you crossed the line when you tried to kiss Jaden. That is unforgivable."
"Uh...Might I ask what you're gonna do?"
"Rip out your testicles."
"What?!"
"No, even I wouldn't be so cruel to do that. Instead, I'll probably do something worse."
"L-Like what?!"
"You'll see..."
Later...
"Thanks for buying me this, Zane!" said Jaden, happily holding her new stuffed animal companion, an Outstanding Dog Marron in her arm. In her other hand held the Celtic Guardian sword meant for Syrus.
Zane nodded, looking forward in the path before them. Not to think nostalgic or anything philosophical, but it's been a long time ever since the school year happened and so much as happened. This was Zane's final year before he graduated, and so many unexpected adventures happened that he was unaware of until later on. Still, with the new arrival of students with potential such as Jaden, Chazz, and even his little brother, Zane couldn't help but proud of the future that awaited ahead.
"Ooh! Ooh! Look! A water dunking game!" cried out Jaden, pointing to one of the carnival-like games during the festival. "Let's check it out."
Seeing no harm in Jaden's request, Zane agreed to go with Jaden to see what was happening. Upon arriving, Zane coughed and hid his smile behind his palm when he saw who it was trapped inside a water tank, sitting in a chair, soaking wet.
Crowler.
It wasn't too surprising that a line had already formed ever since the water tank game booth was set up and that Crowler was the candidate to be thrown into the water. Considering all the horrible things Crowler's done to the students throughout Duel Academy, many students had gathered around not only to play the game, but also for their revenge as well.
"Give me a raise, he'll say...just participate in one little game all day, he says..." muttered Crowler bitterly, shivering as he thought back on a deal he made with Sheppard. Sheppard thought Crowler ought to be more active in other activities so he promised a raise in Crowler's next paycheck if he participated in a game he personally chose himself, and Crowler had regretted agreeing.
That's when he looked up, and through his dripping wet hair, he saw...an abomination he hoped never to come here.
Grinning evilly like the devil, that abomination paid extra than the usual fee to play the game in order to purchase more balls. He could feel the evil within her grin seeping down his very soul as she came closer once it was her turn. Not even a single drip of good came from her as she stepped closer and closer right before the safety line.
Has retribution come? In the form of an evil, evil tomboy? This couldn't be the end for Dr. Vellian Crowler, could it? He had so much to live for! He's never even purchased those violin lessons he desperately wanted so bad! This couldn't be the end! No...No...
"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"
That night...
"Where could she be...?" wondered Syrus, resuming his search for the Dark Magician Girl as he wanted to talk to her once more. Currently, there was one more event to conclude the Spirit Day Festival; a simple campfire.
Gasping, the audience were in awe at the appearance of the Harpie Lady Sisters, consisting of Alexis, Mindy, and Jasmine as they showed themselves off to the impressed crowd.
"Yeah! We're the Harpie Lady Sisters!" cheered Mindy.
"We're here all night so look as much as you want!" bragged Jasmine.
"But, no pictures!" warned Alexis.
While everyone else was having fun, Syrus sat down on a log and glanced up at the sparkling stars up on the night sky, admiring their beauty since they could be compared to Dark Magician Girl and Jaden. He wondered if that Dark Magician Girl from before was real or not, but it wouldn't matter because he believed he and his friends had a good time thanks to her.
"Thanks, Dark Magician Girl," he whispered.
Jaden, having seen Syrus and was about to present him the Celtic Guardian sword, gasped when she saw the Duel Spirit of Dark Magician Girl.
"No, thank you! You and everyone else made it fun for me!" Dark Magician Girl replied, knowing that Syrus couldn't very well see her. She lightly kissed him on the cheek before vanishing.
Feeling a bit of a peck on his cheek, Syrus blushed, thinking it was a kiss as he held his cheek. "Huh? Oh, it must have been my imagination! Ahaha..."
"What? What's wrong, Syrus?" asked Jaden teasingly, approaching him before glancing up at the sky, where Dark Magician Girl was flying away, giving them a wink.
"Oh! N-Nothing! You don't need to know anything!"
Syrus sighed and looked at the stars once more. Having a somewhat first kiss was nice, even if it was a kiss, but somewhere deep inside, he'd prefer it if it was Jaden. In the Dark Magician Girl costume, of course.
Skit: Legend of Jaden
"By the way, Syrus! I won this for you!" said Jaden, presenting the Celtic Guardian sword to him.
"Oh, wow! Thanks!" Taking the toy sword, Syrus began swinging it around. That's when he spotted Chazz, who returned to the XYZ costume. "XYZ Dragon Cannon! My archnemesis! Prepare yourself!"
"What the-?!" Before Chazz knew it, he was struck in the head by a toy sword. "Ow! Sy, what gives?!"
"I am not Sy! I am Celtic Guardian!" declared Syrus proudly.
"You're not even wearing the costume, dimwit!"
"I have the sword!"
"Bullshit! Just because you have the sword doesn't make you the character! You need a costume like me!"
"Then where's your weapon?!"
"XYZ Dragon Cannons has CANNONS! CANNONS! I have them! They're even mentioned in the NAME!"
"Well...I'm still taking you down! Hiya!" Because Syrus' body was frail, but thin and short, he was able to dealt some light, yet swift blows onto Chazz.
"Ow, ow, ow, ow, ow!"
"Get him, Boss! Get him!" Ojama Yellow, Black, and Green were currently cheering on Chazz, not bothering to help him. Not that they can since they're in spirit form.
Then, Chazz grabbed the end of the toy sword, snatching it from Syrus before breaking it in half.
"Oh...Uh..." Syrus was unsure what to do what that point.
Grinning sinisterly, Chazz stepped forward. "Now, it's my turn..."
"Aaaaaaahhhhh! Run away!" True to his words, Syrus turned around and ran for it.
"Get back here!" Chazz attempted to chase after Syrus, but thanks to his weighted costume, it only slowed him down. "Damnit! Stupid costume."
"...Meh," said Jaden, licking some ice cream and sitting next to the Ojama Trio brothers.
Skit: Interaction Part 1
"What country you from?" questioned Flame Wingman, holding Chazz up by the collar after dragging him towards a different location on the island.
"What?"
"What ain't no country I've heard of! Do you speak English or what?"
"What?"
"English, mother fucker! Do you speak it?!"
"Yeah, I speak English!"
"Describe to me your current relationship with Jaden Yuki!"
"...What?"
"Say what again! Say what again, I dare you! I double dog dare you, motherfucker! Say what one more goddamn time!"
"Flame Wingman, this is ridiculous," sighed Clayman, shaking his head.
Dropping Chazz, Flame Wingman turned to him. "No, it's not! It's vital for Jaden's safety!"
"But all you've been doing is kidnapping and interrogating innocents!"
"Uh...Guys? He's gone," spoke up Avian.
"What?! Where'd he go?! I'll find him and fry him!" announced Flame Wingman.
"You do remember that we can't use our powers here, right?"
"Damnit all to Hell!"
Skit: Interaction Part 2
"It's only logical he'd be put in a dumpster!"
"That's not logical! He'll get sick! If you're gonna dump him somewhere, do it where there won't be any garbage!"
For the past few minutes, Sparkman and Flame Wingman were arguing on where to put Syrus since they basically had no more use for him. If they just returned to the festival, people might think it's strange they're carrying an unconscious person and phone the police. After all, a suspicious, scary-looking "cosplayer" carrying an unconscious person would not be good.
Spotting a restroom nearby, Flame Wingman opened the door to the Girls' Bathroom and threw the body inside.
"Ow!" A girl inside the bathroom cried out; a body suddenly hitting her.
"Flame Wingman! Those girls are gonna maul him!" cried out Sparkman.
"...Meh. Let them."
Pushing the door open with her foot, Dark Magician Girl, who was carrying Syrus in her arms, then stepped out, glaring at the two Elemental Heroes. "Did you throw this sweet boy into the Girls' Bathroom? Shame on you! I'm taking him to the Nurse's Office! Wherever that is!"
Seeing her leave, Sparkman whistled. "That lucky dog..."
Shocked, Flame Wingman turned to him. "Sparkman! You have Sparkwoman!"
"Huh? Oh, yeah! Right! ...Please don't tell her what I said."
"Yes."
"What? No!"
Skit: Interaction Part 3
"Glad I got out of that situation," muttered Chazz before coming across Atticus, all curled up and hugging his knees. "Atticus?"
"She...hit me...in...there. Why? Why did she have to hit me there?"
"..."
Needless to say, Chazz was speechless.
Skit: Interaction Part 4
"Hey, guys!" called out Alexis, catching up to Zane and Jaden as they were taking and enjoying their time together. "Mind if I join you?"
"Sure!" agreed Jaden. "How have you been?"
"Well, after destroying my brother's camera, taking him to the Nurse's Office after seeing him in a weird state, and avoiding some perverted guys, I found you guys! Also...I heard that there was some incident and Crowler's experiencing some sort of cold. You guys know why?"
"Well, there was this water tank game," answered Jaden. "And, we were there, and let's just say that I...threw more balls than necessary."
"About how many?"
"...Maybe 10?"
"Jaden!" scolded Alexis, placing her hands on her hips. "How dare you! How dare you do this without me!"
"Wait, what?" wondered Zane, surprised. "Alexis, I thought you distasted these sort of actions?"
"Normally, I do, but considering how awful Crowler has been to others, I thought I might teach him a lesson or two!"
"Well...I...guess that's true?"
Skit: Aftermath of the Festival
"Whew! That was some operation, but everyone did a good job in protecting Jaden!" praised Flame Wingman to his exhausted allies.
"Awww! I wanted to play some more there!" complained Hero Kid #1.
"Hey, I have a question," said Sparkman. "If we could move around and touch objects, why didn't we just greet ourselves to Jaden and shake hands or hug her or something?"
Flame Wingman grew dead silent. "...FUUUUUUUCCCCCCCCCCC-!"
And then the world exploded, and everyone died. The end.
Just kidding! Although, Flame Wingman and a few others suffered from a large amount of stress and had to stay in bed for a few days.
Whew! Gotcha! I finally finished with this chapter!
Heads up! The Skit involving the Legend of Jaden is a reference to the Zelda games! Besides, Celtic Guardian looks kinda of a more older and more mature Link, don't you think? And plus, Ganon rhymes with Cannon, so you'll know what I'm talking about!
Anyways, IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT! I will not be doing this for a while! The story, I mean. I'll postpone this story and focus on other stories and schoolwork! So sorry, hope you'll forgive me but I'm a busy girl! Hopefully, you enjoyed this chapter and a bit of the fan service provided!
Read and review!
