I'm back! However, this may be the last chapter for a while as there's a lot of stuff happening in my life and I need to get myself settled before I continue. Thanks for reading everything so far and commenting and reviewing and all that jazz!
Master Warrior has told me that, when available, you can use his custom deck as long as you give credit where it's due.
There's gonna be quite a few duels coming up, so I'll be focusing the next three chapters to the duels that'll take place; which will set up nicely for the Expulsion Duel that'll take place. I've already have everything set up so don't badger me with requests or ideas...
... unless they're ideas for cards. Badger me as much as you like, then!
I will be putting three duels per chapter but the third chapter will only be two; the runner-up match and the final match up.
Thanks to the ONE PERSON who took part in the vote and here's what you asked for. Hope you'll all enjoy the next installment of 'Enter The King!' :)

Chapter Six: Punishment and Mardis Gras!
After a tiring night after the events that happened outside the Abandoned Dorm, our main hero of Ra Yellow found himself waking up to a rather... interesting position. He had fallen asleep on Dwayne's back as he was being carried home and was oblivious as to where he was, only knowing that he was back in his room and that he was sharing the room with Alexis, as well as Jenny...
... he wasn't, however, expecting to find himself waking up in between the two girls in his bed.
To his left was his amber eyed dorm-mate, who was happily sleeping with a peaceful expression on her face. She had taken the liberty of resting her head on top of his left pictorial muscle as drool pooled around the area where her lips connected with his chest. Her left hand was resting on top of his abdomen as one of her legs had intermingled with one of his own; pressing her C-cup breasts against his side. Her hair was let loose as it cascaded down her side and back, a few strands locking itself inside her black-laced bra (and pants to match).
To his right was Alexis, which was an unusual feeling for the brunette. Her head was resting in the crook of his neck as she softly breathed on his neck, sending small chills down his spine. Her mouth was also parted slightly but every time she exhaled, she would unconsciously kiss his neck while her right hand barred his torso and ended just above Jenny's head on the other side of his body. Unlike Jenny, Alexis had both her legs wrapped around his and pressed her crotch against his side; something that made him blush. She also had her hair loose but a majority fell in front of her chest, veiling her chest from his eyes...
Jaden's face turned beet red as he noticed that she wasn't wearing a bra...
... or pants, for that matter...
Could Alexis be a closet pervert? Food for thought, he supposed.
Thankfully for him, he was still wearing his black boxers from the day before and he noticed that his right leg was slightly damp; more than likely from the sleeping blonde getting frisky during the night. As much as Jaden realized what a fortunate position he was in (to the testament of several male students around the school), he found himself with his own problem; a typical male reaction to when they wake up first thing in the morning...
... then have that amplified by having two hot and incredibly sexy girls sleeping either side of him, one of said girls being completely naked...
It was a severe case of 'morning wood'... yeah.
To his relief, there was a knock on the door which woke the two sleeping girls up; allowing Jaden the opportunity to slip past the two beauties and cover himself up with a towel he wrapped around his waist. He made his way to the door and opened it up...
... immediately wishing he hadn't.
"Mister Yuki?" the figure asked. From the shape of the uniform, Jaden could tell that the figure was female. She was wearing a dark green and black uniform with a green hat to match; her brown hair tied back in a ponytail as it fell down her back.
"Yes, that's me. What can I help you with?" he asked politely, keeping the door closed to hide the two sleeping girls with him.
"We have been informed that you are sharing a dorm with Miss Andrews, correct?"
"I am, and I have been since the beginning of this academic year. Chancellor Sheppard has already been notified about this and has given me the go-ahead on the matter. Now, is that all?" he sighed.
"No. While I must ask the Chancellor about the validity of your story, I am placing you under academy arrest." she ordered as several men moved in to arrest him. As they moved, they were suddenly blasted with KI from the male standing in front of them as his eyes changed to amber.
"On what grounds am I accused?" he asked seriously.
"You have been sighted by an eye-witness that you had purposely entered a restricted area and have broken several dueling protocols. You are under arrest for entering a restricted zone, wandering around Academy grounds past set curfew and dueling past set curfew. Also, until proven innocent, I am placing you under arrest for illicit activities with gender of the opposite sex." she listed in a monotone. Jaden sighed as he knew that he would cause more trouble if he would resist, so he eventually cracked.
"Alright, I'll go with... but let me get dressed first, at least?" he asked.
"Very well. Move quickly." she replied. Jaden nodded as he turned back inside, leaving the door slightly ajar so that he could be watched by one of the impassive members of the squad.
"Jay, what's happening?" Jenny asked as she sat up in bed, scratching her scalp. Alexis had taken the incentive to cover herself with his quilt, hiding her naked frame from prying eyes.
"I'm being placed under arrest on account of several charges." he replied, pulling his jeans up and slipping into his trainers.
"WHAT!?"the two girls yelled out, stunned by the sudden shock. "On what grounds?" Alexis ordered, not taking this nonsense.
"Apparently, I had been spotted entering the Dorm last night and there was evidence left behind of a duel that took place. I've broken several protocols and... I'm being accused of illicit activity with you two." he explained as the blonde's eyes narrowed dangerously. "You two stay here. I'll let you know what'll happen to me, okay?" he asked, grabbing his yellow blazer and his PDF before walking out the door. "By the way? Pay Chancellor a visit and explain things for me." he requested as he shut the door behind him.
The two girls sat there in a stunned silence as their minds began processing all the information that had just been told to them, slowly turning their heads to one another. They gave each other a silent nod, thoughts in sync, as the two quickly got themselves dressed before heading towards the Chancellor's office.
Jaden was currently standing in a room that was coloured a navy blue that had a large space to stand on. There were three large monitors on the wall in front of him as they revealed three separate faces; the same person that had placed him under arrest, Officer Mia, Chancellor Sheppard and...
"Chancellor. Officer. Crowler." Jaden greeted in turn, smiling pleasantly... a little too pleasantly. "I've been made aware of why I'm here and the charges I face." he explained.
"I've just spoken with Jenny and Alexis, explaining the whole affair that happened last night. They told me that you have evidence on you to support your defence?" Sheppard asked. Jaden nodded as he pulled out his PDF.
"I've got a copy of the events that had happened which made me enter the Dorm and I also have an eye-witness of the person who had set the whole thing up to get me here." he explained, smirking as he saw Crowler's face pale a little.
"S-So? How do you plan on showing us this... evidence?" the Doctor replied, smirking.
"If I'm not mistaken... Kaiba had installed a projection device in this place for cases like this. I only found out after he asked me my opinion after getting drunk one night with myself and Yugi." he explained as he turned around and walked over to the little groove in the wall beneath the monitors. He pressed a few buttons as a wire popped out of the wall, showing Jaden to connect it to his PDF.
"H-How do you know the code? Only higher members of staff knows the code!" Crowler fumed, sweating more nervously.
"Did you ever stop to think about what happened to your class after you returned from your vacation, Crowler?" Jaden smirked. "Chancellor Sheppard, himself, asked me to step in for you and cover your class while you were gone."
"That is true. I was contemplating who I would get to take the lessons before Miss Rhodes suggested that Jaden should be given the opportunity to take the classes. I must say that I have seen a significant increase in dueling abilities from the past four weeks and that the three dorms are beginning to socialize with one another." Jack smiled, nodding towards Jaden. "I've also been told about the charges of illicit activities in sharing a room with Miss Andrews. Again, I have been notified about this from Jaden and Jenny who have confirmed this. In regard to illicit activity? I have been told about a certain truth from Jaden's past, courtesy of him telling me, and I believe that he is not the kind of person to take advantage in such a situation." he explained, getting a warm smile from the student.
"I-I see..." Mia stuttered. "Ahem! Well, we have dealt with two of the charges but we still haven't fin-"
"I'm getting to that now, Officer." Jaden interrupted as another monitor sprang to life, across the three monitors, as it showed them the connected device to his PDF. He proceeded to make his way into his inbox, showing them the text he had got from Zane. "I was notified by Third-Year, Zane Truesdale, about someone having hired a dueling mercenary to try and scare me out of the Academy and get me to leave for good. Isn't that right... Crowler?" he asked as the text loaded up in front of the three. They saw the date that the text was received, fitting with his alibi. "Also, I want you all to watch this..." he continued as he loaded the video up for the three of them and showed them the duel between him and Titan.
"W-What's this!?" Sheppard asked. "What's Alexis and Jenny doing there?"
"Alexis was paying her respects to her brother, Atticus, while I was there paying mine to a brother figure of mine; Kamina Tsukuyomi. He was better known to many by the name of Katsu." he explained, getting an understanding nod from the man. "They wanted to discuss something in private when I headed back to the dorm. As I was a few minutes away, I heard the two girls scream and I made my way back to the Dorm and made my way into the basement. I had found both girls unconscious and placed in two identical coffins." he explained as the video continued to play in front of them.
"I found the perpetrator to be a person under the alias of 'Titan'. He was the one responsible for the kidnapping and he initiated the duel with me, saying about sending me to the Shadow Realm with an hypnotizing trinket that was shaped in the form of the Millennium Puzzle. Being the apprentice to Yugi, I immediately knew it was a fake and destroyed it, thanks to one of my duel spirits. The only thing is that I had accidentally activated the basement floor's mechanisms and we ended up in a real live Shadow Game." he gravely explained.
"Y-You what!?" Crowler shrieked.
"Oh yeah! Thanks to the sudden interaction, the two of us dueled in a Shadow Game where my duel spirits managed to established a physical form while we were inside. It was thanks to two of my duel spirits that had freed the two girls and guide them to safety as I dueled against him. I won against him and I had managed to get everyone out of the Shadows and back into the basement. Titan was in shock while I suffered severe fatigue and passed out. It was probably during this time where the two girls decided that the three of us would bunk in the same room for the night. In no way did I suggest that the two of them would sleep with me or engage in any illicit activities." he finished as the duel finished with Jaden collapsing onto the floor.
"So, I suspect that this is the full story? Then I have no reason to see Jaden be accused of any of the charges that's been placed on him." Sheppard explained, getting a smile of relief from Jaden.
"On the contrary, he still broke the rules for dueling past curfew and walking around campus past hours. He will still need to be punished for such acts." Crowler smirked.
"Just saying that to save your skin, Crowler? After all, it was you who set all this up!" Jaden finally snapped. "I have eye-witness from Zane who can easily testify to my claim! However... I'm willing to make a compromise." he calmed himself.
"What do you have in mind, Mister Yuki?" Mia asked, somewhat intrigued.
"Please, just Jaden." he smiled. "I suggest a duel. Considering my professional statement, I'll go as far as to accept a handicap duel and face a pair of opponents. If I win, all charges are dropped. If I should lose, then I'll leave Duel Academy for good." he suggested. "However... should I find a tag partner, I would like to make it an exhibition tag-team match."
"An excellent idea, Jaden! Why, I know exactly who to choose as your opponents! Of course, I'll need two days for them to arrive." Crowler smirked, rubbing his hands together. "However, should you find a partner to duel with... they will face the same consequences as you. If you both lose, you're both expelled!"
"I don't mind. The sooner I can get this sorted out, the faster I can relax and not have to worry about it." he sighed, ruffling his hair erratically.
"However, I'm curious as to what Chancellor Sheppard meant about your past exper-" Crowler began prying before Jaden's eyes snapped up to the monitor he was currently on.
"That is none of your business!" he snapped. "What happened in my past is up for me to tell others if I believe they should know! Chancellor Sheppard has been informed about this nearly two months ago and can vouch for many of my actions in the Academy up till now." he explained, peeved. "That doesn't give you the right to snoop into confidential matters for your own pleasure and amusement." he finished, not taking any rebuttal from the Obelisk Head.
"I agree with Jaden. It is a confidential matter and I am more than honoured to be told such a startling fact. Very well, the handicap duel will take place in three days time. Until then, Jaden is free to resume his usual activities and help in preparing the fancy-dress tournament that'll take place two days from now. Best of luck in organizing that, Jaden!" Sheppard smiled as Jaden responded in kind.
"As you wish, Chancellor. I believe I must apologize for the manner in whi-" Mia began before Jaden held up his hand.
"Don't apologize, you were following protocol and I don't wish for an apology for obeying rules. However, I thank you for the sentiment." he smiled, bowing respectfully. Mia allowed a smile to across her face as the three monitors switched off, leaving him alone in the room...
"So, what's the plan, J-man?" Dwayne asked as he, Stephanie, Johnny and Danny appeared around him. "You gonna duel whoever the hag got for ya?"
"Of course he is!" Stephanie interjected, throwing her arms out wide. "It's Jaden we're on about and it involves him staying in the Academy! He's not gonna leave after everything he's done up till this point, not to mention Jenny and Alexis." she softly explained, looking at Jaden's reaction.
"That's right. Of course, if it's gonna be a tag-team duel..." he trailed off as a grin graced his face, "Then I think I'll surprise everyone with my partner..." he gleamed as his eyes took a mischievous glint to them before the party made their way back to the dorm room.
Our main hero made his way back to the dorm as he began thinking about several strategies and combos he can work with and what changes he'd need to make to his deck; deciding to walk to clear his mind. while he was cutting through the forest, he noticed a figure that was talking to himself as he sat in the tree. Jaden walked up to get a closer look when he found it to be one of his friends from Slifer Red; Chumley.
"Heya Chumley! Whatcha doing?" he asked, startling the koala duelist.
"U-Uh, hi Jay! I was just working on a little idea I've had for a while now." he replied as Jaden noticed the sketchpad in his hand.
"Wow! You draw?" Jaden asked, intrigued.
"Yeah! It's the most lishous things since dueling and grilled cheese! I've always loved drawing and I'm doing it out of enjoyment rather than a chore, ya know?" he smiled. "D-Do you wanna take a look?" he asked, somewhat nervous. Jaden's eyes lit up and nodded as he quickly climbed the tree and balanced himself on the branch next to him. Chumley lifted the book for Jaden to see and the brunette was blown away by the design and the quality of the drawing.
"Chumley, that is one of the best pictures I've seen!" Jaden beamed with delight.
"R-Really? I-I mean, you've probably seen better, right?" Chumley responded.
"Dude, I've spent goodness knows how many hours in Pegasus' work place and watched the staff come up with designs for new cards! Seriously, I'm gonna have a word with him and get him to look for himself!" Jaden complimented. "Seriously, it's that good!"
"W-Wow..." Chumley awed as he processed the information.
"Anyway, as you're here... do you mind if you do me a favor?" he asked. "The fancy dress tournament is in two days time and I need someone to help me design the posters for the event! Of course, there'll be something in it for you; so don't think you'll be working for free!" Jaden grinned as he wrapped his arm around Chumley.
"S-Sure! Do you want to go through the details with me or do you have to head back?" the Slifer asked.
"Forgive my language but I've just came out of a blenderfuck of a meeting with Chancellor Sheppard and Crowler. Alexis and Jenny was kidnapped last night and I had to go inside the Abandoned Dorm to rescue them. Apparently, this is enough to get slapped with the face of expulsion from the Academy." he quickly summarized.
"So not lishous! Are the girls alright?" he asked back, somewhat annoyed by Jaden's luck.
"They're pissed because I'm the one in trouble and they aren't. I can't blame them but it's better if they're not involved in this one, anymore than they already are." Jaden explained, getting an approving nod from the Slifer. "So, I'm talking time to grab some fresh air, so I'm all for jotting notes with ya!" he perked up, making Chumley do the same as he flipped over a new page.
"What've you got in mind?" Chumley smiled.
Meanwhile, Alexis and Jenny had gotten hold of Zane, Syrus, Chazz and Bastion as they all sat in Jenny's dorm room. They all came as soon as they heard about the news that Jaden was arrested on campus and decided to wait for him to return and tell them the news. It was a Saturday so there were no classes for them and they all decided to wear normal clothing instead of their uniforms.
"Man, I can't believe Jaden's gotta be the one to take the heat! It's so not right!" Jenny humphed. "I mean, who else would go through the effort to save two kidnapped girls and end up getting arrested for it?"
"I bet Crowler's having a field day with all this." Alexis sighed, rubbing her head. "He's probably coming up with a severe punishment for him as we speak."
"Kinda... but I managed to make a deal with them." Jaden explained as he and Chumley walked through the door. "There's gonna be a duel in three days time that's gonna decide whether or not I'm expelled from Duel Academy." he explained, getting several gasps and wide-eyed responses from the guys there. Soon, the door opened once more as several of Jaden's heroes made their way inside with several trays of food.
"Tch. That's low, even for Crowler. I heard the whole thing from Zane as we walked over and I'm not impressed." Chazz admitted as he continued to lean against the desk. "So it's gonna be a duel? What's the stipulations?" he asked, getting straight to the point.
"It's gonna be either a handicap match or a tag-team duel. It all depends if I want a partner to duel with or not," he held up his hands before several of them bombarded them with requests, "BUT... should I find a partner to duel with, then they'll face the same stipulations which I do." he explained as everyone settled down.
"So if someone teamed up and lost with you, we're both expelled?" Alexis asked, to which Jaden nodded grimly. "Man, that blows..." she sighed.
"So why do you have several trays of food?" Zane asked, shifting the topic quickly.
"I haven't had breakfast yet and it's one in the afternoon; they arrested me as soon as I got up." he grinned sheepishly as his stomach grumbled.
"So who're the other guys? I've never seen them before..." Chazz asked, eyeing a few of them in particular.
"Actually, Chazz?" Alexis stated, grinning. "You have. They're Jaden's Duel Spirits."
"N-No way!" Chazz yelled. "I thought some of you look familiar!" he pointed out. "So, have you got any ideas on who you want to team up with?"
"A part of me is telling me to face this one on my own; I don't want anyone getting in the crossfire and I don't want to be the one responsible if I should lose." Jaden explained as he made his way over to the girls and laid down in between them. "Whoever it'll be, it won't be easy."
The rest of the group simply nodded as they began taking in the whole scenario of what happened; Crowler had hired a dueling mercenary to come to Duel Academy and scare Jaden to the point of leaving said academy. Alexis and Jenny both were kidnapped by the mercenary as bait to lure Jaden and pull his end of the bargain. It had backfired as Jaden was able to defeat the mercenary and rescue the two girls...
If that's the case, what has Jaden done to warrant a threat of expulsion?
"Look, what happened has happened; there's no point dwelling on it right now. After all, we've got a tournament to get ready!" Jaden perked up as he fist-pumped the air.
"Oh yeah! The Fancy-Dress Tournament!" Syrus beamed. "Are you really gonna give away a copy of your deck, Jay?" he asked hopefully.
"Of course! I never go back on my word!" he grinned.
"That's all well and good..." Alexis started as she turned to face Jaden, "But have you thought about how you're gonna get the posters out, and who's the one making the posters?" she lightly chided.
"I've asked my man, Chumley, to help with the designing and I've got everyone here to distribute them around the Academy! It'll be fun!" he chuckled. Alexis turned to Chumley, who simply nodded, before letting loose a smile on her face. "Now, let's grab some grub and begin making notes..." he winked as everyone began making their way towards the two trays that were packed with food.
Three hours later and the group of students, and duel spirits alike, were currently inspecting the artwork of the posters that Chumley had drawn up. Safe to say, they were all blown away by the quality of the drawings and how life-like they all looked on paper. Jaden smiled to himself as he knew he was bang on about him; knowing Pegasus would be more than happy with an artist of that caliber.
The design was simple enough; the background of the painting was similar to the view of the sea just behind the Slifer Red Dorm with a slight difference as several Duel Monsters were standing in a row, posing. Jaden's Elemental Hero Gunslinger was dressed sharply in a cowboy's outfit as he let loose a grin on his face. To the right of him was Ayumi, who was also dressed in uniform as the stellar orbs circled around her frame.
Floating above the two of them were two of Syrus' monsters, Nix and Keira; his Dark and Light Magician Girls. The latter was a new release of cards that was parodied from the Dark Magician deck but focusing on healing instead of the arcane. Syrus was more than thrilled with the outcome as he would often spend time with the two of them while the two girls flirted with him... much to Zane's amusement.
Next to the two heroes was Alexis' signature monster, the Cyber Prima Blader. Also dressed up in her usual outfit, she was posing for Chumley as he had drawn her in; much to everyone's amusement as he would often blush in embarrassment. Finally, in Ayumi's hands, was the little baby Black Chick from Jenny's deck as his wings were spread out. The little dragon looked content as he was shown giving a little wink to the people who'd read the poster. All in all, everyone was impressed and they were more than happy to get the copies up and about.
"Now that we've got the posters sorted, I think it's time for us to get working on our outfits!" Jaden grinned as he rubbed his hands together, grinning.
(Time Skip: Two Days Later - Ra Yellow Dorm Grounds)
It had been an exhausting two days for the group but they were more than thrilled to see a majority of, if not all, the students have turned up and registered in their dueling outfits. Jaden had to stifle a laugh at the sheer amount of Dark Magicians that appeared as well as the Dark Magician Girls that many of the students decided to go as. For an extra kick, he had used his powers of darkness to give some of the monsters from everyone's decks a physical body; so they could walk among the crowd without them knowing any better.
It was also heartening to see several members of staff appear in outfits as well; Professor Banner had dressed up in the same manner as his Salamander the Steel, as Pharaoh was dressed up as a pudgy variant of Leon the Lead. Professor Sartyr was dressed up as his Curry Fiend Roux, while Miss Fontaine did something a little different and dressed up as Mai Valentine.
Jaden had taken a picture and sent it to the woman herself, getting a reply saying that it doesn't compare to the original... but it was a good shot.
"Wow! Look at all the people who showed up! This is incredible!" Syrus beamed as he looked at the large crowd. He had decided to dress up as his Light Magician, instead of his Dark Magician. It was relatively the same outfit but was a light blue and white robe with a healing staff. He'd been asked several times about his outfit and had resorted to borrowing Jaden's card pocket and placed it round his neck for clarification.
"There's a lot of competition out there. Then again, if the deck of our very own Elemental King was up for grabs? You would've joined up for a shot as well. It's a natural response but I'll admit that even I'm surprised by the turnout." Zane smiled as he leaned on the wall; having taken a page out of the Obelisk teacher's book and dressed up as Joey Wheeler. Safe to say, he had to hang around Jaden just to avoid the fangirls that began fawning over him; much to everyone's amusement.
"That's true. I would be the same if Yugi's or Kaiba's decks were up for grabs; it's suppose to make people wanna join and make the whole event a success! It's pretty insane to see how much the Academy has changed since we started and it's an awesome sight, don't ya think?" Jaden grinned as he hefted his sword onto his back after borrowing Jason's outfit for himself. Seeing as they were practically identical, he could get away with it. "I wonder where the girls are, though... they said they'd be here by now." he frowned.
"Don't worry, your girlfriends will be here soon." Chazz smirked as he made himself known. Jaden was about to scold him on that remark but the words died in his mouth as he looked at Chazz's outfit... It was one of the cards Jaden had given him a while back, his Emperor Dragon King. He stood there in a black and red armour that sat over the top of his red robes, fitting with a pair of black armoured boots that came just below his knees. He held a staff in his hand that had the skull of a dragon on the top and a ruby and onyx crown on top of his head.
"Wow, didn't think you'd be pulling that off." Jaden admitted.
"I'll admit, it's comfortable and it fits me perfectly." Chazz arrogantly smirked once more.
"Not afraid to boast your own merits, as always..." Bastion mused as he rocked up his Litmus Doom Swordsman outfit. Surprisingly, the look suited him as Bastion twirled the swords in his hands before sheathing them in their holders. "However, don't think that I'll sit back while you make your way to the finals! I'm going to win Jaden's deck and examine how I can pull it apart and defeat him." he smiled.
"Good luck with that!" Jaden honestly encouraged. "I'm still waiting for the girls to show up as they're the only ones left to take part! What's taking them!?" Jaden fumed, pacing around a little.
"Oh Ja~den?"
Said boy whipped his head around and almost had his eyes shoot out from his head as he saw Alexis standing next to Jasmine and Mindy in their outfits; the Harpie Lady sisters. Mindy was standing on the left, Jasmine was on the right while Alexis took center-stage; their hair colour and hairstyles being the only thing to separate them. Mindy had kept her hair similar to her usual look, Jasmine had dyed hers a dark blonde and Alexis had changed hers to a red and purple hybrid. They all had matching black and gold armour that adorned their chest; Alexis' being generally bigger in the bust department, as well as a pair of claws that could be easily taken off for them to use their hands.
"I told you he'd like it!" Jasmine cheered as they collected all the male attention in the room. Mindy and Jasmine were more than happy with it, as they began taking photos with several of the guys, while Alexis simply made her way over to a still-gawking Jaden.
"So? What do you think?" she asked as she spun around, giving Jaden a better look at her outfit. "The wings were a nightmare to work out and it took me all night to get the glue to dry and keep them in place." she cutely pouted.
"Talk about a bombshell! You look amazing!" Jaden beamed, grinning. "You really pull the look off well." he replied, toning his grin down to a smile. "All three of you do; it goes to show how much like sisters you all are to each other."
"Thanks, Jay." she nodded, smiling. "I was guessing you'd go for your Cosmic Champion; you look exactly the same!" she giggled. Jaden simply chuckled and scratched his head before a piercing whistle broke everyone out of their stupor. They all turned towards the source of the noise to find the natural redhead of the group walking towards them...
... well, in this case, blunette. Jaden was speechless as he watched his dorm mate make her way towards them as she was walking in a very revealing rendition of her majestic Blue-Eyes White Dragon. She had a pair of light-blue wings on her back, similar in style with the duel monster, with the tail of the beast dropping down from it and behind her; a pair of horns that adorned each side of her face which amplified the blue contacts she was wearing. She had a pair of light-blue leather boots that reached up to below her knees, short denim shorts and a simple white-laced bra that covered her C-cup breasts.
Alexis had to admit that she had brought sexy back to Duel Academy as several wolf-whistles and howls could be heard from several of the guys there; something Jaden found unusually irritating. He paused mid-thought and shook his head as he turned his attention back to the girl walking up to him. Jenny had to giggle as she saw Jaden's jaw hang from the outfit she was wearing as she gently closed his mouth. "You'll catch flies." she winked.
"Uh..." Jaden replied, dumbfounded as her fingers trailed the side of his face before she walked over to Alexis, who had to grin at the sight of a flustered Jaden. "S-Sure." he finally spoke as he shook his head clear of cobwebs before grabbing tapping the microphone on his face as he gathered everyone's attention.
"Hey everyone and welcome to Duel Academy's Fancy-Dress Duel Tournament!" he spoke into the mic as he received a round of applause in response. "Now, it's great to see so many people take in the spirit of the event and dress up as their favorite duel monsters or dueling idols! There'll be prizes for most original outfit ideas, most believable, best dressed male and female as well!"
"However, I should take this time to hand over to our special guest that has made his way here for this very tournament! Please give a warm welcome to the one, and only, Pegasus Crawford!" Jaden introduced as the silver-haired businessman made his way up onto the platform, receiving several gasps from the students before a whopping response was heard.
"Hello students of Duel Academy! It's such a privilege to see so many youngsters dress up as their favorite duel monsters, and it's heartwarming to be involved in such an event like this!" he smiled. "Now, Jaden-boy has told me all the details of the winning prize and I have with me an exact replica of all the cards that made him become the infamous Elemental King he's known to be! I will personally hand the prize to the winning participant and they will also received a fabulous bonus prize as well! Best of luck, duelists!" he waved as he nodded towards Jaden before walking back off the stage.
"Now, as there's so many of you taking part in the tournament, we'll be using these grounds to host the preliminary match-ups before we all take an intermission for food, courtesy of Miss Dorothy and Professor Sartyr, before making our way to the Exhibition Hall for the quarter-final match-ups. It's one of the reasons why we've started so early as we need to get through everyone by the end of the day!" he explained, getting a few laughs.
"Now, you've all been given an entry number to take part in the tournament; these numbers will decide who you'll be up against. All the draws are randomized and the winner will proceed to the next opponent. There are a hundred and twenty-eight participants and we need to whittle them down to the final eight! To make things fair for everyone, I will not be participating in the tournament but I'll be acting as official referee in the quarter-final matches. Without further ado, Let's Duel!" he shouted, getting a loud cheer in response as everyone began making their way over to the board to check out their opponents.
It had been a short two hours since the duels began and the tournament had managed to whittle its way down to the final nine participants. Jaden had to sifle a laugh as he could honestly admit that he was expecting each one of them to make it this far. Those who had been knocked out had taken to the stands and chatted among themselves, taking several photos of everyone and contributing them to a scrapbook one of the Obelisk females had managed to grab hold of.
Standing in the middle of the ring was the last match that had to take place before the quarter-finals could begin. In all honesty, all the people who had gathered were greatly interested in this line up as it would show just how well each duelist could perform and how much they've learned from Jaden in terms of dueling.
"You know, I'm not sure how this one's gonna play out... I mean, I know Bastion's the kind of guy who can crack a deck and pull it apart by the seams but Syrus has been the biggest improvement in his game." Jenny explained as she leaned against the wall that separated the stands from the stage. "Also, I'm curious to which deck Sy's gonna be pulling out..." she pondered.
"If it's anything to go with his outfit, we'll be seeing the deck Yugi helped him build." Alexis replied, smirking. "In all honesty? I hope he does as I'm really curious to see for myself."
"You're not the only one, Alexis," Zane chipped in, "I've noticed he's much more confident in dueling and he's finally realized what I've been trying to teach him for years. Show me how far you've come, Syrus." Zane smiled behind his collar.
"Ladies and gents! I present to you the last match-up of the preliminaries and what a match-up it'll be; Slifer Red's very own Syrus Truesdale will be facing off against Ra Yellow's Bastion Misawa!" Jaden grinned as he heard the crowd respond.
"We'll be seeing two incredibly diverse styles of dueling in this duel, which begs the question of who'll come out on top? Will it be Bastion's theory's to prove Syrus' hypothesis wrong, or will the 'Heart of the Cards' from Syrus' deck be a uncounted factor that'll throw a spanner in his works? There's only one way to find out..." he smirked as he hefted the sword off his back and into the air.
"Let's Duel!" Jaden and the rest of the crowd shouted in unison as both duelists duel disks sprang to life on their arms.
Bastion : 4000
Syrus : 4000
"Before we start, I'd like to offer a handshake. However this duel turns out, I am more than happy to be facing you... Syrus." Bastion smiled as the two contestants walked to the center of the stage and shook hands with each other.
"Same here, Bastion! If I lose, I'll be fine with it!" Syrus beamed as they took their respective places once more. "Now, as a magician shouldn't reveal his secrets... you can go first!" he grinned, his face turning serious but still enjoying the vibe of it all.
"I won't disappoint!" Bastion commented as he drew a card out of his deck. "I'll set two cards face down before I'll summon my Hydrogeddon to the field in defence mode!" A water-formed salamander rose up from the ground as the water that pooled on the field gave way to the new creature. "With this, I'll end my turn."
(Hydrogeddon: Dinosaur / Effect / Water / 4* / 1600 ATK / 1000 DEF )
"My move!" Syrus yelled as he drew a card from his duel disk. "I'll play my spell card, Heart of the Underdog! If I draw a normal monster card, I can draw another one if I show you that card. To show you what I mean, I'll play Pot of Greed!" Syrus explained as he drew two new cards, revealing to the Ra duelist the Mystical Elf he just drew before picking up a third.
"Now, I'll summon my Mystical Elf in defence mode! I'll also play two cards face down and end my turn!" Syrus smiled as a burst of light appeared on the field in front of Syrus. When the light died down, it showed an elf figure that was robed in a pure white ceremony dress that contrasted with her rich blue skin and blonde hair, which was held back by a silver crown. She was currently on her knees as she prayed solemnly, signifying she was in defence mode.
(Mystical Elf: Spellcaster / Light / 4* / 800 ATK / 2000 DEF) (AN: I know it's normally a green robe but I don't care! I prefer white, so white it is!)
"Interesting... why didn't you attack my card when you had the chance?" Bastion asked, intrigued. Syrus chuckled as he wagged a finger, grinning.
"Magicians never reveals their secrets! However, I knew there's something odd when you played a defence monster when it's attack points are much higher... meaning that you wanted me to destroy the card!" he explained.
"I see Jaden has put you through your paces, Syrus. To give where credit's due, you're exactly right." Bastion smiled as he drew a card of his own. "I'll summon another Hydrogeddon in defence mode and I'll play a spell card called Trade-In. By discarding a level eight monster, I can draw two new cards." he smiled as an identical water-form dinosaur took a defensive stance next to its kin.
"I'll follow up with Fossil Dig. I can search for a level six or lower dinosaur-type and add it to my hand. With this, I end my turn." Bastion smiled, thinking through the strategies in his head.
"My go." Syrus commented, thinking about the defensive play and what it could mean. 'I've got to find someway where I can destroy his monsters without losing mine; Mystical Elf is the only one I have right now...' he thought to himself as he drew another card... eyes widening as he realized that this was the card he was hoping for!
"Now, I'll play my spell card, Dark Magic Curtain! Before I explain what it does, I'll activate a trap of mine; Bad Reaction to Simochi! Now, if a card effect is supposed to take life points from me, I gain the same amount. However, if I gain life points... then I lose that amount." he explained. "Now, I'm supposed to pay half my life points..."
Syrus: (4000 + 2000) = 6000
"... and at the cost of summoning nothing else this turn, normally, I can summon my Dark Magician from my deck!" Syrus beamed as the red curtain appeared above the blunette's head. The curtain soon swirled round as it clung to a figure that was inside of it, before promptly being ripped away to reveal Yugi's signature card.
(Dark Magician: Spellcaster / Dark / 7* / 2500 ATK / 2100 DEF)
"I-Incredible!" Bastion awed as he stared down the fabled magician, while a majority of the students began gaping at seeing such an iconic card in the Slifer's deck. "I never would've thought you'd have such a card in your possession..." he complimented.
"I still haven't finished..." Syrus winked. "I'll have my Dark Magician attack the Hydrogeddon on the left!" he ordered as a ball of dark energy began pulsing in the magician's hand.
"Now I'll play a trap of my own, Sakuretsu Armor! Say farewell to your Dark Magician!" Bastion commented as Syrus' monster burst into pixels. "I'll admit, it was an incredible set-up of adding a powerful monster to the field and reversing the effects with your trap; incredible play indeed." he complimented proudly.
"Sure, I lost a strong monster..." Syrus smiled as his hand moved towards the other face down card, Magician's Circle. "Yet, thanks to this card, I can summon another! We both are allowed to special summon a spellcaster-type with two thousand attack or less! Before you mention my card's effect; I couldn't normal summon, flip or set a monster... special summons are still allowed." he explained, getting a wide-eyed look from the Ra duelist. "Weren't expecting that, huh?" he beamed.
"That... was incredible!" Zane commented as his eyes widened in shock. He honestly couldn't believe that this was the same brother who, not long ago, couldn't distinguish the difference between playing and using a card... now, he's completely different and using combos he would never have dreamed of. 'Show me... show me more, Syrus!'
"No kidding!" Jenny beamed with delight. "It's like he knew that Bastion was hiding something that would destroy his monster and used his Magician to take it out; still having the trap as back-up to replace him with another potentially strong monster!"
"It really is amazing... did Jaden really teach him how to think like that?" Alexis questioned, stunned at the professionalism that Syrus was playing at. "I've gotta see if he's up for apprenticeship classes!" she mused, earning a giggle from the dragon-cosplayer.
"Believe me, it's grueling... but so worth it in the end!" she smiled, rubbing it in her face slightly. Pegasus was nearby and was listening into the conversations that the group were having among themselves, allowing a smile to appear on the silver-haired figure.
"Y-you mean... you planned on me having a trap card!?" Bastion gawked.
"Yep! I learned a lot from Jaden when he covered for Crowler; the difference of playing a card and using a card... something Zane had tried teaching me for years. Now, I know what it means and I know that I can pull something incredible from only a few cards which no-one would think of! Now, you've managed to take out the teacher... let's see how you fare against the student!" Syrus grinned as a light blush appeared on his face. "C'mon out Nix!" he yelled as the appearance of the spellbinding circle appeared on the field.
A flash of light, stars and smoke, a person was coughing as she got rid of the over-dramatic explosion that surrounded the figure. Soon the smoke faded away and all the males in the audience began drooling at the sight that beheld them; a blonde, busty woman was currently taking in her surroundings as she turned to Syrus and warmly smiled...
... before rushing over to him and glomping him in a hug that pushed his head into her ample breasts.
Syrus felt several glares being directed at him from the male population but he shook it off as he shyly pulled himself away from the new figure that was dressed in blue and pink. She had an outfit similar to her mentor but the skirt was showing off her pink underwear and her plump rear. On top of her head was a hat similar to Dark Magician's but was, also, in blue.
"Syrus! How's my little cutie doing?" she winked.
"N-No way... t-that's... t-that's..." Bastion trailed off as his eyes widened dramatically and his jaw hung loose.
"Yep, say hello to Nix; my Dark Magician Girl!" he winked as she flew back on the field.
(Dark Magician Girl: Spellcaster / Effect / Dark / 6* / 2000 ATK / 1700 DEF)
"And of course, she gains three hundred attack points for the Dark Magician you just sent to the graveyard!" he continued.
(Dark Magician Girl: Atk; 2000 + 300 = 2300)
"Now, as it's still my battle phase... attack his left Hydrogeddon with Dark Magic Attack!" Syrus yelled, earning a giggle and a wink from the duel spirit as she copied her mentor's attack and threw the ball of dark magicks at the dinosaur, destroying it with a shriek. "I'll play one last card and finally end my turn!" Syrus finished as a large roar of applause rose up from the stands at the spectacular play.
"It seems I underestimated you, Syrus..." Bastion confessed as he drew a card. "I wasn't taking you seriously but that'll soon change! I summon my Oxygeddon in defence mode!"
Behind and to the right of his water-dinosaur, a pterodactyl-cross-dragon-like figure appeared as it hovered in the air from his wings. His body was a light green as whisps of wind surrounded his entire frame.
(Oxygeddon: Dinosaur / Effect / Wind / 4* / 1800 ATK / 800 DEF )
"Now, I'll play a Pot of Greed of my own..." he said, drawing two cards, "And I'll play my spell, Hidden Armory. I send the top card of my deck to the graveyard but I an search my deck for an equip card and add it to my hand. Now, I can't normal summon or set this turn... but special summons are permitted." he hinted, smirking. "I'll use my Ribbon of Rebirth to bring back my Hydrogeddon but he won't be here for long as I play my card, Bonding H2O! You seem smart enough... do you know what happens when you combine two-parts hydrogen with one-part oxygen?" he asked.
"You create water... why?" Syrus asked in response.
"You'll see... as I special summon my Water Dragon in attack mode!" Bastion smiled as the three monsters began swirling around one another before the torrent shifted to a royal blue colour. In their place stood an enormous water dragon that towered over Syrus and Nix; beaming red eyes staring at them.
(Water Dragon: Sea Serpent / Effect / Water / 8* / 2800 ATK / 2600 DEF)
"That's really big..." Nix commented.
"That's what she said..." Chazz smirked, getting two simultaneous smacks from Jenny and Alexis; calling him a perv in tandem.
"Another little twist, I think." Bastion continued as he revealed a card in his hand. "I'll play Scroll of Bewitchment and attach it to your Dark Magician Girl. Thanks to this card, I can change the attribute of your card from Dark to... Fire?" he mused as a small red aura wafted off the said monster.
(Dark Magician Girl: Dark ~ Fire)
"Now, what happens when fire goes up against water?" he rhetorically asked. "It becomes extinguished! Thanks to my monster's ability, all Fire-types attacks are dropped to zero!" he smiled as realization struck Syrus as he watched his duel spirit weaken and sag her shoulders.
(Dark Magician Girl: Atk; 2300 - 2300 = 0 )
"Now attack her with Water Cannon!" Bastion ordered as the dragon charged a hyper-pressured jet of water that smacked into her and continued on to Syrus, who was hit with the full brunt of the attack.
Syrus: (6000 - 2800) = 3200
"With that said, I'll end my turn." Bastion nodded as he also received a wild set of cheers from the spectators. Syrus shook his head, getting rid of the excess water that soaked his hair.
"I've still got my Mystical Elf, so I'm alright!" he smiled as he drew a card, Gemini Elf. Having shown it to Bastion, he drew another card... another Mystical Elf. He drew once more and nodded to himself. "I'll play a monster face down in defence mode, place a face down and end my turn. Nothing too fancy this time." he joked.
"Then allow me!" Bastion drew as he pointed to the newly-placed monster card. "Destroy his face down!" he ordered as another blast of water destroyed the card... revealing it to be an unusual looking statue.
"Thank you!" Syrus bowed. "My Magic Statue of Benediction can't be destroyed by battle and, when flipped up, she has the same effect as Morphing Jar. We both discard our hands and draw five new cards." he explained, getting several gasps as they both drew new hands.
(Magic Statue of Benediction: Spellcaster / Tuner / Effect / Light / 1* / 0 ATK / 0 DEF)
"Well, I'll place two face downs and finish up my turn." Bastion finished as two more cards appeared behind his water dragon. "I must admit, you've really surprised me, Syrus. You've played magnificently so far and I'm enjoying myself." he smiled.
"Same for me, Bastion!" Syrus nodded as he drew his sixth card. He furrowed his brows as he took a closer look at the cards in his hand and began smiling as his eyes darted up back to Bastion... with much more determination in them. "I'll place two face downs and activate my spell card, Arcane Shift. If there's a Dark Magician or a Dark Magician Girl in my graveyard, I can pay life points equal to their attack and special summon a new variant of the monsters, so I'll pay twenty-five hundred points..."
Syrus: (3200 + 2500) = 5700
"To bring out my new monster, Light Magician!" Syrus smiled as his Dark Magician reappeared on the field before he was cocooned in a blinding light of pure white. It had lasted a few seconds before revealing him... with the only differences being that he no longer wore his hat, allowing his purple hair to fall freely down his back, and that his robes had changed from purple to white.
(Light Magician: Spellcaster / Effect / Light / 7* / 2500 ATK / 2100 DEF)
"And I'll play my Bottomless Trap Hole, removing your monster from play!" Bastion mused as a black and purple appeared underneath the new magician, who yawned before striking the middle of the vacuum with his staff; dispersing it from view as the hole closed back up.
"Light Magician is immune to all trap cards." Syrus commented with a smile. "Now, I'll tribute my Statue and my Mystical Elf to bring out his student as well; Light Magician Girl!" he grinned as another white burst of light shone through the room as the light-equivalent of her Dark doppelganger appeared in her pink and white outfit, also foregoing the hat like her master...
(Light Magician Girl: Spellcaster / Effect / Light / 6* / 2000 ATK/ 1700 DEF)
... who also glomped the blunette into her bosom, squealing in delight.
"Syrus, cutie! You look adorable!" she smiled as he received another dose of KI from the male population.
"W-Well..." he blushed in response as she hovered over to her teacher. "Now, I'll end my turn with one last face down." he finished.
"Now it's mine!" Bastion yelled as he drew a card. "I'll activate two spell cards in tandem; Tidal Wave and Alignment of Nature! In reverse order, Alignment of Nature allows me to change all your monster's attributes to whichever I fancy..." he smirked as the two magicians had the same red aura that Syrus' Dark Magician Girl had. "Now, my Tidal Wave is an equip spell. With it attached to my Water Dragon, I can attack all your monsters directly!" he yelled, throwing his arm out towards the magician pair. "Water Dragon, flood the stage with your Tidal Wave!"
Syrus and his two duel monsters held their arms over their faces as the massive tsunami wave crashed into them; his duel spirits being destroyed while Syrus was swept off his feet as he rode the wave back a few feet before collapsing in a puddle of water.
Syrus: (5700 - 2800 - 2800) = 100
"Woah! What an impressive move by Bastion, folks!" Jaden commented as his eyes were widened in response to that last attack. "Such incredible play and it leaves Syrus on a hundred life points left! Will Syrus be able to pull the duel back in his favor and pull something out of his sleeve?" he asked as Syrus began laughing.
"W-What? How are you laughing?" Bastion yelled in disbelief.
"B-Because it was a good move and I'm enjoying myself!" he chuckled as his laughter died down. "Also, because you've activated my trap card, Damage Condenser! By discarding a card from my hand, I can special summon a monster in my deck which has equal or less attack points than the damage I just took!"
"W-Which means you can potentially summon a monster with fifty-six hundred points!" Bastion paled as Syrus' disk began searching his deck for the monster he wanted and added it to his hand.
"Of course! Now, it's time to wrap up this show as I summon forth my Magician of Arcane!" Syrus threw his hand up as a medley of coloured beams spiraled into a center point and began merging together before the large explosion caused several hats to go flying across the grounds.
Out of that burst of light stood a womanly figure that held a graceful and elegant posture; her cerulean eyes showing authority but also playfulness at the same time. She was wearing an outfit similar to the female magicians of his deck but was a combination of red, white and gold. Her long platinum-blonde hair flowed past the swell of her right breast, which was more prominent than most...
... Jenny began sulking as she realized she had nothing compared to her...
... so did Alexis, soon after.
(Magician of Arcane: Spellcaster / Effect / Light / 9* / 3700 ATK/ 1900 DEF)
"Thirty-seven hundred attack points!?" Bastion gawked as his eyes rested on the new figure.
"Yep! If she's special summoned to the field, then she gains a nifty ability which I can only use once!" Syrus explained.
"Very well, I'll end my turn. I will soon finish this duel so make this move count." Bastion nodded, smirking arrogantly. Syrus looked at the two cards in his hand and allowed a small chuckle to escape his throat.
"This is it! I'll play Heavy Storm to destroy all the spells and traps on the field, including your Water Dragon's Tidal Wave equip spell!" he smiled as he watched their cards shatter into pixels.
"Now, allow me to explain my Magician's effect; by discarding a card to the graveyard, she's allowed to attack you twice in the same turn. Oh... about your dragon's ability? Forget it!" Syrus grinned confidently as Bastion's eyes widened to epic proportions. "She negates any counter abilities that could mean that this effect is nullified. Now, take out his dragon and show him the power of the Arcane!" Syrus ordered.
"N-No way... I-I lost?" he asked as he watched the two monsters duke it out with one another, only to see his dragon destroyed before Syrus' Magician aimed a ball of energy at him and threw it, connecting with him as a pillar of light exploded and veiled Bastion from prying eyes.
Bastion: (4000 - 900 - 3700) = 0
"Woah! What an amazing duel between these guys! However, I hereby declare the winner of this match is Slifer Red's Syrus Truesdale!" Jaden beamed with delight with his apprentice as the crowd cheered in an uproar for the amazing duel that just took place.
"That's incredible!" Jenny whistled. "To make a move which he could play off his lost life points and completely obliterate Bastion and snag the win from a hopeless situation? That's the kind of skill you don't see much off these days." she smiled warmly.
"Yeah. If this is what the Pro Leagues are like, I have a long way to go before I consider myself good enough." Alexis nodded, sharing the sentiment. "What do you think of that, Zane?" she asked, looking at the Joey-lookalike.
"He played well. I doubt I could have made some of the moves he did if I were in his shoes. I guess I was wrong after all..." he smiled, not hiding it as the applause continued to ring out for his brother.
"So there we have it! Our eight quarter-finalists! We've locked their names into a random generator and this is what the line-ups will look like:- " Jaden smiled as a nearby projector flared to life and projected the image of a tournament table on one of the bare walls of the dorm.
Match One: Chazz Princeton vs Alexis Rhodes
Match Two: Mindy Hamaguchi vs Zane Truesdale
Match Three: Syrus Truesdale vs Jenny Andrews
Match Four: Jasmine Makurada vs Chumley Huffington
Match Five: Winners of Match One and Two
Match Six: Winners of Match Three and Four
Match Seven: Losers of Match Five and Six (Third-Place Decider)
Match Eight: Winners of Match Five and Six
"I'm up against Zane!? This is so uncool!" Mindy pouted while her opponent didn't look fazed in the least.
"Haha! Well Sy, it's gonna be a duel to see who the best apprentice is... you ready for it?" Jenny asked, pumping her fist.
"You bet! I'm not gonna back down, Jenny!" Syrus replied with determination in his voice as the two of them bumped knuckles together.
"I-I'm up against Lexi!? This has to be a mistake!" Chazz yelled defiantly.
"Awwww... scared that you're gonna lose to a girl?" Alexis teased, making the ravenette's scowl deepen.
"S-Shut up! I just don't want to have to knock you out... that's all." he replied.
"Whatever. Underestimating me will only make you suffer for it... remember the duel you had with Jaden who proved that point?" she reminded him as she walked off, missing the pale look on the Obelisk's face. Chumley and Jasmine looked at each other and allowed a smile to appear on their faces, nodding in acknowledgement to one another.
"We'll be taking a break for ninety minutes but make your way to the Exhibition Hall to see, what will be, the biggest match-ups to date! For now, I'm Jaden Yuki clocking off!" he grinned as the crowd cheered once more before they began dispersing.
