Disclaimer: We don't own Yu-Gi-Oh! GX or Persona but we own the OCs!


Jaden walked to the room where Yu, and Teddie are, "Hey guys! Do you guys remember what today is?"

"Yeah, we do." Teddie answered before smiling.

"Okay Yu! How do ya feel?" Jaden grinned.

"I'm ok, we'll have to see what happens though." Yu answered before smiling.

"Well what are we waiting for? Everyone's waiting for you! It's time for the meet, and greet because North Academy has just arrived!" Jaden grinned.

Yu nodded before he and Teddie followed Jaden.

"Okay Yu! Remember to get your game on!" Jaden grinned.

"I'll do my best." Yu admitted.

They arrived at the dock where their friends are waiting to where a Submarine has just surfaced.

"Hey you guys." Alexis smiled waving them over.

"Hi Alexis-chan." Teddie smiled waving back.

"Have you guys seen North Academy's Rep yet?" Jaden asked.

Rise shook her head, "Not yet, but I can't help but feel a bad feeling."

"Well whoever it is we'll find out soon." Yukiko mentioned as Jasmine frowned slightly.

(A/N (Ulrich362): Jasmine and Mindy are Alexis' friends so they would be waiting with her.)

"And hi Jasmine." Teddie smiled to her.

She blushed slightly before the submarine opened.

What exited were the students before a man wearing a yellow suit, having a white handband, and glasses walk to where Sheppard is at where he greeted, "Foster! It's been far too long! How have you been?"

"I've been well... Ever since I got over the defeat you handed us in Last Year's School Duel." Foster answered shaking Sheppard's hand but his grip was a bit tight.

"I guess Zane won the last match." Chie admitted.

"Well... It was a close match." Sheppard admitted wincing a little.

"Not really. But this year, I have a feeling it will be." Foster said smirking before looking around, "Where's your School Rep?"

"Oh. Yu Narukami! Can you please greet Chancellor Foster of North Academy?" Sheppard called for Yu to hear.

"Coming." Yu replied before walking up and smiling before offering his hand. "It's nice to meet you."

Foster nodded shaking Yu's hand, "So your Yu Narukami. You know your making Duel Academy History. No Slifer Red has ever been a Rep at Duel Academy."

"I just hope I live up to everyone's expectations." Yu admitted.

"In that case my Rep will introduce himself." Foster said as they turned to the Sub.

At that someone from the Submarine started to walk over. He has black spiky hair, onyx eyes, and wearing a black blazar.

That was when Duel Academy widen their eyes in shock seeing who it was.

Chazz Princeton.

"Chazz!" Alexis cried in shock.

"No way." Jaden mentioned in awe.

Chazz seeing Yu smirked, "Well well, if it isn't the Slifer Slacker, Yu Narukami. Gotta say I half expected for Jaden to be the Rep."

"There was a three-way match to decide the representative, and I got lucky and won." Yu answered.

"Ah it doesn't matter who the Rep is. I'll still 'Chazz You Up'." Chazz smirked as North Academy behind him started chanting.

"CHAZZ IT UP!"

"CHAZZ IT UP!"

"CHAZZ IT UP!"

"So does "Chazz You Up" mean lose to you?" Jaden asked.

That made Chazz dropped to the floor anime style before getting up yelling, "No you Slifer Slacker! It means I'm gotta knock him down big time!"

Suddenly the tension was interrupted by fierce wind.

"What?" Yu questioned noticing that.

They soon took notice of two Helicopters are flying in.

"Who's that?" Rise asked noticing.

"Hi Chazz!" one of two men in a Helicopter called.

"What's going on little brother?" the other smirked, "Mind if we drop in?"

"Slade, Jagger!" Chazz cried surprised, "Why are you here!?"

"Why else? To celebrate your Dueling Victory!" Jagger called as the Helicopters landed on the landing zones.

"Chazz has brothers?" Yosuke asked.

"Naoto? Do you know Slade, and Jagger?" Kanji asked her.

"Only their name's." she answered.

"You are going to win. Right Chazz?" the goatee man named Slade asked with a smirk.

Suddenly a camera crew popped up in front of them, "That's it. Beautiful! Just act natural."

A camera crew meanwhile was filming the group, students, confused teachers, and the two Reps.

"What's... going on?" Yu asked.

"What's going on here, I think you mean 'when's' going on here." one of the reporters answered, "And the answer here is prime time baby! This School Duel is gonna be broadcast World Wide!"

"Worldwide?" Yukiko asked. "Oh, our friends in Inaba can see it."

"Should we call them so they know?" Yosuke suggested.

"I can call Dojima-san." Naoto answered.

"Whoa! Yu, and Chazz are gonna be on TV!?" Jaden cried excited, "This is gonna be great! Mom, Dad, Kaiba, Yugi, Nanako, Marie, and everyone will be seeing this match!"

"Yeah." Chie agreed.


Minutes Later...

"You set this up didn't you?" Chazz asked his brothers once their alone.

"But of course. We need the world to see your on your way becoming Duel Monster's best, and it's all part of the plan." Sladee answered.

"Yeah, yeah..."

"Look! World Domination is our's for the taking, if we all do our parts Chazz!" Jagger reminded.

"And we have. Now it's your turn bro." Slade told him, "To concur the World of Duel Monsters to be the best. And to not give up."

"Did you really think you could get away from your duties? Get away from us by dropping Duel Academy?" Jagger asked Chazz standing up while glaring, "Don't deny it! You have always been this Slacker of this Family!"

"It doesn't matter!" Slade yelled at Jagger before telling Chazz, "The point is Chazz you can still turn it around. You can still show that we're supreme."

Jagger lift up a briefcase stating, "That's right, and the dueling cards in this briefcase are gonna help you do just that. Their the most expensive out there so you have no excuse to lose."

He placed it in front of Chazz.

"Don't let us down Chazz! Don't let the Princeton Name down! It's all on you! Now go, and win!"


Meanwhile...

Yu was walking to the arena when he heard something from the Boy's Restroom.

"Hello?" Yu asked walking into the bathroom.

He sees Chazz looks like he's arguing with himself in front of the sink unaware Yu is watching, "Man up Chazz! Man up! Come on! Show them that Chazz Princeton is no Slacker! That your worthy of the Princeton Name! That you... You can win! And that you can keep winning... Over, and over that your the best..."

With that said he went to his knees with a tight grip on the sink, "You've got to do your part Chazz... You gotta show them that your supreme... It's your duty, it's the plan..."

Yu frowned at that before silently walking out.


Minutes later...

The crowd cheered once everyone is at the arena, and the cameras are set up.

"Chancellor Sheppard, you said it was ok right?" Rise asked.

"Yeah of course." Sheppard nodded.

She smiled. "Thank you."

"It's no trouble. Plus we were gonna figure out you are Risette sooner." Sheppard grinned before laughing, "I think the instruments will be here, and set on the stage by the time the Duel is over."

Rise nodded. "I just hope the others don't get worried because of the cameras."

"Didn't you do a similar thing at Junes?" Sheppard asked her.

"Yeah, but it wasn't broadcast to the whole world." Rise explained.

"Okay. Rise be seated because the Duel will start in a minute." Sheppard told her.

Rise nodded before walking to sit with Yukiko, and Alexis.

"What did he say?" Yukiko asked her.

"We're all set for after the duel." Rise smiled.

"Have you been World Wide before?" Alexis asked her.

"Actually no." Rise admitted.

"Well this could be your biggest break." Alexis smiled.

"Thanks." Rise smiled.

Meanwhile everyone else is with Yu.

"Okay Yu just remember to have fun, and show Chazz you mean business!" Jaden grinned.

"Yeah..." Yu nodded.

"Sensei? Is something bothering you?" Teddie asked hearing that.

"I'm ok Ted." Yu answered.

"Go get him partner." Yosuke smiled.

"Attention students. Welcome to the School Duel!" Sheppard announced standing up with Foster.

Foster called, "And now..."

"Let this year's competition finally begin!" the two called.

Sheppard called, "Yuzu, Dr. Crowler introduce the Duelists."

"No problem Chancellor! After all these two Duelists are what we, and my brother know personally." Yuzu smiled at the microphone with her brother beside her at the center of the Arena, "From Duel Academy let's welcome to the first Slifer Representative - Yu Narukami!"

Yu walked up the the dueling field.

"And from North Academy please welcome - Chazz Princeton!" Dr. Crowler called as Chazz walked up.

"Chazz..." Yu started only to frown.

"Chazz Princeton has changed Duel Academy!" Chazz called to Duel Academy, "Sure I used to be a classmate of your's but when I left, I also left my old self there! Now your looking at the new, and improved Chazz! The North Academy Chazz! And I'm here to 'Chazz it up'!"

With that he turned to Yu, "Alright go time! Let's see what you got, Yu!"

"Yeah... alright." Yu nodded before frowning. "Chazz... what plan?"

"What?" Chazz asked hearing that.

"... You can't afford to lose, because of your brothers right?" Yu asked him. "Am I right?"

Chazz growled, "It's none of your business!"

Yu frowned before just nodding as he activated his Duel Disc. "Alright."

Chazz activated his own as Yuzu, and Dr. Crowler jumped off.

"LET'S DUEL!"


(Dueling Theme: I'll Face Myself)

Yu: 4000

Chazz: 4000

Let the duel begin!


Chazz 1st Turn:

"Alright here we go!" Chazz called drawing as he looked, "And I'll start off by activating a field spell! A card that is known as LV Colosseum!"

At that the arena transformed into a new rock like Colosseum with thee audience up at the stands.


LV Colosseum

Field Spell Card

When this card is activated: Add 1 "LV" card to your hand. "LV" monsters gain 300 ATK. When a "LV" monster is Special Summoned by it's own effect the player the that summoned that summoned that monster can draw 1 card. If a "LV" monster is destroyed by a card effect: The player that controlled the destroyed monster can destroy 1 face-up Spell/Trap Card on the field.


Yu looked around in surprise. "A colosseum?"

"When this card is activated, I can add a LV card to my hand! Such as Armed Dragon LV7!" Chazz said showing the card, "Then I activate Cost Down!"


Cost Down

Normal Spell Card

Discard 1 card; for the rest of this turn, reduce the Levels of all monsters in your hand by 2 (even after they are Summoned).


"So now by sacrificing a card in my hand, I can lower the levels of monsters in my hand by 2 for this turn only!" Chazz said discarding a monster called Masked Dragon, "And that lets me call on this behemoth!"

Yu just watched calmly.

"And now rise Armed Dragon LV5!" Chazz called as a red boxer dragon appeared roaring.

During the End Phase, if this card destroyed a monster by battle this turn: You can send this face-up card to the Graveyard; Special Summon 1 "Armed Dragon LV7" from your hand or Deck.


Yu's eyes widened in shock seeing the monster.

"What? Foster you didn't..." Sheppard asked his friend shocked.

Foster smirked, "I'm gonna win the prize this time."

"Hey wait none of the cards we bought were those!" Jagger realized to Slade.

"What?" Slade asked shocked.

Naoto frowned hearing that.

"And now due to LV Colosseum's effect all LV monsters get a boost of 300 attack points!" Chazz called.

Armed Dragon LV5: (ATK: 2400 + 300 = 2700)

"2700 already?" Chie asked in shock.

"And there's a lot more where that came from! Next I'm activating the spell, Gold Sarcophagus!" Chazz called as a coffin true to it's name appeared.


Gold Sarcophagus

Normal Spell Card

Banish 1 card from your Deck, face-up. During your second Standby Phase after this card's activation, add that card to your hand.


"Think of this card like Different Dimension Capsule except I banish the card face-up, and this card doesn't remain on the field after activation." Chazz said taking a card from his deck as he shows the card, "I banish Future Fusion!"

"He's improved a lot since he left." Bastion admitted.

"Future Fusion?" Foster asked shocked, "I don't remember that card in the Deck!"

"What?" Sheppard asked.

Slade smirked, "Well looks like he augmented the cards we gave him in that deck.

Chazz said, "Finally I place two cards face-down!"

Naoto's expression darkened hearing Slade say that.

"Okay Yu! Show everyone what you can do!" Chazz called at Yu.

Yu 1st Turn:

Yu drew his card only to pause. "I pass."

"What?" Jaden asked shocked, "Yu what are you doing!?"

"Chazz, what's really going on?" Yu asked him. "What did you mean when you said show them you're worthy of the Princeton name? When you said it's your duty and the plan?"

"I said it's none of your business!" Chazz yelled.

Yu stared at Chazz. "It's your turn."


Yu: 4000

Chazz: 4000


Chazz 2nd Turn:

"And I'll make sure you'll regret leaving yourself open!" Chazz cried drawing, "Armed Dragon attack! Spiked Spinner!"

Armed Dragon charged at Yu with a spinning fist.

Yu braced himself as the attack hit.

(Yu: 1300)

"That will end this assault for now!" Chazz yelled, "Now quit fooling around, and fight!"

Yu 2nd Turn:

Yu drew his card. "I'm not going to fight you Chazz, not like this. I end my turn."

As he said that Yu discarded one of his cards to the graveyard.

"Why you... Are you mocking me!?" Chazz demanded frustrated.

"I'm not, I wouldn't do that Chazz." Yu told him.

"Then why are you throwing the match!?" Chazz yelled, "Your suppose to fight back!"

"If I fight back, I might win. I heard you before, when you were talking to yourself." Yu revealed.

"You what!? How long were you listening!?" Chazz demanded shock.

Yu looked down before telling Chazz everything he heard.

"Wait what?" Jaden asked shocked once they heard everything.

"If winning is that important Chazz, then go ahead and win. My field's empty and your dragon can end the match right now." Yu told him. "It's your turn."


Yu: 1300

Chazz: 4000


Chazz 3rd Turn:

Chazz however looks enraged clenching his fists, "Due to Gold Sarcophagus' effect Future Fusion is added to my hand during my second Standby Phase after activation."

He added the card. Yu nodded calmly.

"Yu you do realize what will happen if I do win!?" Chazz yelled angry.

"No, I don't." Yu answered honestly.

"You'll be a big embarrassment, and people will say that I payed you big sums of money for you to lose on purpose! And further more it will have everyone believe that I'm not worthy of the Princeton name that my brothers believe I'm not!" Chazz yelled with his brother's widening their eyes at Chazz saying what they thought of their little brother.

Yu's eyes widened before frowning. "Chazz... what do you mean? What did your brothers do?"

Chazz at that glared trembling before yelling, "Alright that's it! Screw it! Me, and my brothers are a trio from the Princeton Group!"

"The Princeton Group?" Rise asked turning to Naoto, "Do you know them?"

"I have, they're an incredibly influence group of brothers. Slade Princeton is incredibly influential politically, and Jagger Princeton is equally influential financially. While I haven't met them myself their names have shown up more than once in my career." Naoto answered.

"And they want me to do the same for the Dueling World!" Chazz added, "And that's the part of the plan!"

"... Do you want to achieve that? Are you just here because they want you to be?" Yu asked.

"I..." Chazz trailed off.

"Do you want to be a duelist, or are you just doing it for your brothers?" Yu asked.

"Why are you asking me this?" Chazz asked him.

"I think you know why." Yu told him.

Chazz grunted at this.

"Yu... What should we do?" Jaden asked him.

"I want Chazz's answer." Yu replied.

At that Chazz told him, "Ever since I was young, I had seen the skills of Duelists, and hope one day to be like them. And I had also met Seto Kaiba at a turn of fate."

Yu nodded. "You love dueling don't you?"

"I think you know that answer." Chazz told him, "But... My brothers view it differently. While they do want me to become a great Duelist it is only because of the Princeton Family name!"

Yu nodded at that. "Chancellor Sheppard, Chancellor Foster would it be alright with you both if we started from scratch?"

The two look at each other on it.

"Yu-Sempai..." Rise trailed off before smiling, "He's always like that."

"Yeah, he is." Yosuke smiled.

"Think we're gonna have a major talk to Chazz when this is over?" Jagger asked Slade.

Slade only nodded at that.

Soon Sheppard told the two Reps, "Go ahead."

Yu nodded. "Alright Chazz, you can go first but this time we'll have the real School Duel."

"Fine!" Chazz said as they shuffled their decks again as the cards Chazz had vanished.

New Duel:


Yu: 4000

Chazz: 4000


Chazz 1st Turn:

"Alright now we're talking!" Chazz yelled drawing, "And no excuses this time either!"

"I won't give you any." Yu replied with a smile.

"Well now here's Terraforming!" Chazz called.


Terraforming

Normal Spell Card

Add 1 Field Spell from your Deck to your hand.


"And this card's magic allows me a Field Spell to my hand!" Chazz said adding LV Colosseum back.

"Not this time." Yu countered.

"Huh?" Chazz asked.

"I activate Hunger Persona Pale Rider's special ability." Yu explained. "By discarding him when you add a card to your hand it gets destroyed and I can add the same type of card to my hand."

"Huh?" Chazz asked as LV Colosseum shattered his hand as the shards flew to Yu reforming back for him to take. "So your adding a Field Spell?"

Yu just nodded calmly, "Anything else?"

"I'll activate Fiend's Sanctuary!" Chazz called.


Fiend's Sanctuary

"I'll start with the field spell Mayonaka TV." Yu mentioned.


Mayonaka TV

Field Spell Card

When this card is activated add one level four or lower "Persona" to your hand. Once per turn if a "Persona" monster would be destroyed it is not destroyed. If this card is removed from the field add one "Shadow Dungeon" field spell to your hand except "Yomotsu Hirasaka".


"Huh?" Chazz, and everyone looked around.

"Since I played this field spell I can add a level four or lower Persona to my hand, so I'll add the level four High Priestess Persona High Pixie." Yu stated. "Then, I'll summon High Pixie in attack mode."


High Priestess Persona High Pixie

Level 4

Fairy

ATK: 1500

DEF: 1300

Once per turn destroy one spell or trap card on the field. This card cannot attack the turn this effect is used.


"1500..." Chazz said seeing that, 'But my Token's ability deflects the damage I would take involving it so he nearly lose half his points.'

"I end my turn by setting two cards and using High Pixie's ability. I destroy your left facedown card." Yu finished.

"Huh?" Chazz asked as his face-down shattered.


Yu: 4000

Chazz: 4000


Chazz 2nd Turn:

"Fine!" Chazz drew before stating, "During this standby phase, I have to pay 1000 points to keep my Token in play."

(Chazz: 3000)

Yu nodded calmly seeing that.

"And now I sacrifice my Token! To bring out Armed Dragon LV5!" Chazz called as his dragon appeared again.

"Your monster is stronger but my Field Spell protects High Pixie from being destroyed one time every turn." Yu mentioned.

"Think you could keep that until I try to destroy her?" Chazz asked him.

"I'm just telling you even if you attack my monster won't be destroyed." Yu pointed out.

"Then it's good thing Armed Dragon is here." Chazz smirked, "By discarding a monster I can destroy a monster who's attack points are equal are fewer then the attack points of the monster I tossed!"

Yu's eyes widened. "I didn't expect that."

"Well by discarding Lance Lindwurm in my hand your Pixie's protection is gone!" Chazz called discarding the card as Armed Dragon fired a blast at High Pixie.

The blast struck the Persona but when the smoke cleared it was still standing.

"And now Armed Dragon take out his Pixie with Spiked Spinner!" Chazz called as his dragon charged at the Persona.

High Pixie tried to defend by shooting lightning only for the dragon to easily deflect it before destroying Yu's monster.

(Yu: 3100)

Yu grunted with the destruction of his Persona.

"And that's just the start." Chazz smirked as his dragon started to glow before morphing.

"What the?" Kanji questioned seeing that.

"When Armed Dragon destroys a monster at the end of a turn, I can send it to the graveyard to evolve it by 2 more levels! So now welcome Armed Dragon LV7!" Chazz called as a stronger dragon appeared roaring.

"3000 attack points?" Chazz asked surprised.

"That's right, now attack Armed Dragon LV7!" Yu declared.

His monster charged at Armed Dragon destroying it as Chazz grunted. (Chazz: 2800)

"Haha! The prize is so mine!" Sheppard grinned rubbing it in at Foster's shocked look, "After all looks like your boy's down for the count! Sorry!"

Growling at Sheppard making fun of him Foster yelled, "Oh no he's not! Chazz no mercy!"

"No mercy!" North Academy called.

"I end my turn, alright Chazz let's see what you can do." Yu smiled.


Yu: 1550

Chazz 2nd Turn:

"With pleasure!" Chazz yelled drawing, "And I'll get rid of your protection with Mystical Space Typhoon!"


Mystical Space Typhoon

Quick-Play Spell Card

Yu's eyes widened as his field spell shattered.

"When Mayonaka TV is destroyed I can add a Shadow Dungeon field spell to my hand, I pick..." Yu started before closing his eyes as he added the card. "Shadow Dungeon: Heaven!"

"Hope that can help you! I activate Pot of Greed!" Chazz called.

"But we'll get to it in a bit! Now I activate my face-down, Level Modulation!" Chazz called.


Level Modulation

Normal Spell Card

Your opponent draws 2 cards. Special Summon 1 "LV" monster from your Graveyard, ignoring the Summoning conditions. The monster that was Special Summoned by this effect cannot attack, nor activate or apply its effect this turn.


"First things first draw 2 cards from your Deck!" Chazz told him.

Yu nodded drawing his cards.

"And I get to summon a LV monster from the graveyard regardless how powerful it is!" Chazz called, "Come on back Armed Dragon LV7!"

The strong dragon reappeared back roaring.

"It's back." Alexis frowned.

"And there's more." Chazz smirked, "On the turn Level Modulation is used the monster summoned by it can't attack or use it's abilities... But what I'm doing here is otherwise!"

With that his dragon started to evolve.

"Again?" Yosuke asked in shock.

"Yes again! And again I sacrifice Armed Dragon... To summon it's final form! LV10!" Chazz declared.

At that what rose was a stronger version of LV7 roaring.

"It's as strong as Sraosha!" Rise panicked.

'I don't have a card in my hand to use it's ability... But...' Chazz thought, "I activate the trap that you destroyed Dragon Talon Terror!"

"A trap from your graveyard?" Yu questioned.

"It's a Continuous Trap with different effects but I can use the one that activates from the graveyard!" Chazz called, "As Armed Dragon LV10 is out your monster's points are deducted by 1000!"

Sraosha: (ATK: 3000 = 1000 = 2000)

"Then afterwards this card is shuffled back to my deck." Chazz added shuffling the card, "And now Armed Dragon attack! Static Orb Thrust!"

At that Armed Dragon charged an orb of electric energy firing it at Sraosha.

"Trap card open, Tetrakarn!" Yu called. "This destroys an attacking monster!"


Tetrakarn

Normal Trap Card

When an opposing monster declares an attack, destroy the attacking monster.


"Nice try but Dragon Talon Terror makes Armed Dragon unaffected to any trap you pull this turn!" Chazz revealed.

Yu's eyes widened as his Persona shattered and he cried out in pain as Bastion noticed his Duel Disc didn't start glowing.

(Yu: 0550)

"What the-!? His Duel Disk should be working!" Bastion yelled seeing that.

"Maybe it overheated or something?" Kanji suggested.

"And now Yu looks like your having some anxiety." Chazz smirked as he drew, "Since the monster that Dragon Talon Terror weakened was destroyed I can draw but I can't discard it."

"I'm not beat yet." Yu mentioned weakly as he got to his feet.

"Well I'll finish up with 1 card face-down." Chazz ended with his hand empty.

Yu 3rd Turn:

Yu drew his card only to close his eyes. "Nanako..."

"Huh?" Chazz asked hearing that.

"Nanako? Why did he say his cousin's name?" Syrus asked confused.

"Because, thanks to Nanako Yu-Sempai is about to win." Naoto smiled.

"Chazz, I activate Shadow Dungeon: Heaven!" Yu called.

Samarecarm

Normal Spell Card

Special Summon 1 "Persona" monster from your GY.


The monster appeared again.

"It's points are the same as Armed Dragon's!" Chazz pointed out.

"That's true, but this is where the duel ends Chazz." Yu smiled. "Sraosha, attack Armed Dragon LV10!"

"What are you doing!?" Chazz yelled, "Both have the same points! Wait unless... Trap open, Dragon Talon Terror!"


Dragon Talon Terror

Continuous Trap Card

While you control 1 "Armed Dragon" monster: It is unaffected to your opponent's card effects. If an opponent's monster is destroyed by the effect of a "Armed Dragon" monster: You can inflict 300 damage to your opponent for each monster destroyed. If this card is in your GY while you control 1 "Armed Dragon LV10": Target 1 monster your opponent controls; reduce it's ATK by 1000, and if that monster is destroyed in battle draw 1 card, and if you do "Armed Dragon" monsters you control are unaffected by your opponent's Trap effects this turn, and then shuffle this card back to your Deck. You can only activate each effect of "Dragon Talon Terror" per turn.


"You actually drew it again?" Yu asked in shock.

"Normally I wouldn't but it happens when you have more then 1 copy!" Chazz smirked, "And now with this out Armed Dragons on my field can't be effected to your effects, and if a monster you have is destroyed by their effects you take 300 points of damage equal to how many monsters destroyed! And with it making it unaffected to your effects whatever your planning to make Armed Dragon weaker, or destroy it, and then attack me directly won't work!"

"Actually, I was going for destroying your monster with my attack." Yu explained.

"What?" Chazz asked as the two monsters destroyed each other, "But then... What was the point!?"

Yu looked to be in pain as Sraosha shattered. "Shadow Dungeon: Heaven's effect activates, if one of my monsters destroys one of yours in battle, I deal damage equal to your destroyed monster's attack points. Armed Dragon LV10 has 3000 points."

That shocked everyone as Chazz watched in horror as the blast struck him making him cry out before he went all fours.


Yu: 0550

Chazz: 0000

Yu wins the duel!


Chazz grunted looking down before he started to hear his brothers walking over.

"You loser! You dog!" Slade yelled angrily at Chazz, "You've disgraced yourself! You've disgraced the Princeton name!"

"You are no brother of our's anymore." Jagger said coldly to him.

"Just give me another chance!"" Chazz told them not looking up.

"Another chance!? Do you know how much we've spent on this duel!?" Jagger yelled at him.

"The cameras! The rare cards! Little of which you used, I might add!" Slade added glaring.

"Sorry... I thought I could win this by myself" Chazz said to them with his eyes closed Jagger yanked him up to continue scolding.

"Yourself!?" Jagger yelled.

"When could you do anything by yourself Chazz!?" Slade yelled.

"Hey, you punks leave him alone!" Kanji shouted.

"They both did a great job, and if you can't see that then that's your problem not his." Rise agreed.

"Exactly, Chazz should be proud of himself and you should be proud of your brother." Yukiko added before turning to the people sitting around her "Right?'

"Punks? Do you kids have any idea who we are?" Jagger asked glaring at them, "We could have you all broken in an instant!"

Naoto stared at them. "No, you can't."

"And what's a girl like yourself gonna do about it?" Jagger asked her glaring.

"And why bother defending Chazz? He's a nobody now! Disowned by us, and by the whole world!" Slade yelled, "The cameras caught enough of his failure! Mopped, whopped, schooled!"

"And worst of all he got beat disgracing us!" Jagger yelled in Chazz's face.

"Well, I believe my connections to the police combined with your televised admission to having your brother cheat... something he clearly was coerced into doing I can conduct my investigation into your Political and Financial positions as well." Naoto told them. "You may have heard of me, my name is Naoto Shirogane."

"The Detective Prince?" Slade asked shocked, "What are you doing here at Duel Academy?"

"Mitsuru Kirijo recommended my friends and I attend." Naoto answered calmly only to look to the door and smile. "Now, If you don't mind there's some people waiting to use the field."

Jagger only scoffed shoving Chazz back releasing him. Jaden looked at him and continued, "Tight duel Chazz. It may be cheesy but I think the truth of the matter is that both you, and Yu won here!"

"Your just saying that!" Chazz snapped before looking down, "I mean come on, nobody else believes that."

Yu walked over with a smile. "Chazz, listen."

Chazz looked up at him. The crowd was yelling at Slade and Jagger, while also cheering for him and Yu before students from both Duel Academy and North Academy started to chant like at the start of the match.

Slade, and Jagger looked around frustrated as Slade yelled, "I don't have time for this garbage!"

"Naoto if you dare conduct an investigation involving us we're suing you big time!" Jagger warned before he, and Slade walked off leaving.

"Chazz, are you alright?" Yu asked him.

Chazz looked to him, "Yes... I'm fine."


With that they all arrived outside at the stage where it has a sunset to unveil the grand prize of the School Duel but Chazz has an announcement.

"Everyone I have decided to stay at Duel Academy!" Chazz told them, "North Academy is good but this place is my true home since I disregard so many things. But now I can come back."

"Chazz... are you sure?" Foster asked.

"I'm sure Foster." Chazz answered, "Thanks for helping me open my eyes in that match."

"Well, you're always welcome at North Academy." Foster told him.

"Attention, please!" Dr. Crowler announced, who was standing on top of a special stage with a microphone with Yuzu.

"It's time to announce the prize for the duel between North Academy and Duel Academy! The most beautiful woman in the island... MISS DUEL ACADEMY!" Yuzu announced.

"Huh?" Jaden asked in shock.

"Wait, but I already have a girlfriend back home." Yu pointed out.

"I don't think they mean it like that." Naoto told him.

Just then who emerged in a red dress, and make-up... is Miss Dorothy.

Nearly every student looks horrified seeing that.

"Dorothy is Miss Duel Academy!?" Jaden asked shocked along with Syrus.

"Now, the Chancellor of the winning Academy! Please approach the stage!" Dr. Crowler announced.

Happily humming a tune, Sheppard walked up the stairs to the stage and leaned forward. Dorothy smiled brightly before smooching his cheek in a huge, sloppy kiss.

Surprised Jaden wondered, "A kiss? That's the big prize of the School Duel?"

Foster, who seen everything burst into tears, "WAAAAAHHH! I CAN'T BEAR TO WATCH! WAIT FOR ME, I'LL BE BACK NEXT YEAR, MY LADY! WAAAAAHHHH!"

He ran off as Chazz, and the Investigation Team watched him. Feeling a bit bad and weird for Foster, Chazz sweatdropped "...Yeah, I'm gonna pretend that the prize is just a good old pat in the back."

"Probably for the best." Yosuke agreed.

"Pretend that never happened?" Chie asked finding this awkward.

"Pretend it never happened." the rest of the Investigation Team nodded.

"And now everyone! We have a Special Guest with us!" Yuzu announced, "From the town of Inaba she is a famous idol, and has come to do a concert for us at this big year match! May we introduce..."

"The Idol, Risette!" she, and Dr. Crowler declared in sync.

At that Rise smiled before stepping up to the stage. "Thank you very much."

That had shocked Duel Academy, and North Academy.

"Wait she's Risette?"

"She doesn't look the part..."

Yuzu handed Rise her hair ties for her to set her hair right to where she can prove she's Risette.

As she did some instruments were brought up onto the stage.

Seeing them the members of the Investigation Team smiled before walking up with her.

"Okay everyone! Let's greet her on her first World Wide broadcast!" Dr. Crowler called, "And among joining her is Duel Academy's rep Yu Narukami, the Ra Yellows, Kanji Tatsumi, and Yosuke Hanamura, the Slifer Red, Teddie Hanamura, and the Obelisk Blues, Chie Satonaka, Yukiko Agami, and Naoto Shirogane!"

"So let's wish them, and Risette a good show! Care to say something before you start?" Yuzu smiled handing Rise the microphone once Rise put the hair-ties on.

"I just want to say thank you all." Rise smiled.

"First a crowd at Junes, then the Love Meets Bonds Festival... now this?" Yosuke asked before smiling. "Well, you guys ready?"

"To support Rise-chan, of course." Teddie smiled as they got their instruments.

"Okay are you ready?" Dr. Crowler asked the team which they nodded.

While their checking over last preparations Syrus walked up the stage, and smiled up to his girlfriend, "Good luck Rise. I'll support you as much as I can."

Rise smiled at that. "Thanks Syrus."

She then turned to the Investigation Team who all smiled and nodded before beginning to play their instruments together.

"You got yourself behind a door deep inside your heart, again
You wanna hide, you wanna come out, going round and round

Thinking hard about it doesn't help you one bit
Say Hello (Hello!)
You gotta say goodbye to thousand lies, yeah!

Shout, friends! Just those words you really mean
And let your voice be heard all over the world
Stand up when you hear the knock on the door
It's me, come on out;
Get ready for your True Story"

As their playing the students, and teachers from North, and Duel Academies started to cheer, and started to dance as they continued playing True Story.

Zane was smiling as Alexis was dancing with Jaden, Syrus was smiling listening to Rise, and the team, Bastion, and Chumley were cheering on at them, Chazz has a small smile looking up at them, Banner, and Yuzu were dancing with each other with sift smiles, as Sheppard, and Miss Dorothy did the same, as Dr. Crowler looked on with smiles.

The concert is being viewed all across the world. One particular location is the house where Nanako, and a man with dark gray hair was looking on seeing them preform. At Junes was TVs viewing the concert. At the Shinogane Establishment was a elderly man, and a young man watching. At a textile shop was a elder woman watching with a smile with her customers. At the Amagi Inn was Yukiko's family, and some of their customers looking on.

Soon their back at Duel Academy as Rise continued.

"You got yourself behind a door deep inside your heart, again
You wanna hide, you wanna come out, going round and round

Thinking hard about it doesn't help you one bit
Say Hello (Hello!)
You gotta say goodbye to thousand lies, yeah!

Shout, friends! Just those words you really mean
And let your voice be heard all over the world
Stand up when you hear the knock on the door
It's me, come on out;
Get ready for your True Story"

With that final line the music slowly faded as the song came to an end. At that all of the two Academies cheered clapping loud.


Ulrich362: After that... I'd say everyone but Slade and Jagger won.

bopdog111: That sure is quite an ending for the finale of the pre-Shadow Rider arc.

Ulrich362: True, but now the real danger begins... and it all starts with a field trip right Bopdog?

bopdog111: Yeah the trip to the ancient ruins where Syrus sees Banner doing something late at night.

Ulrich362: True, well look forward to that. See you in the next chapter.

bopdog111: Be sure to review!
