Here's the second Chapter.
First a special Thanks to TheSync'd Writer for helping me in balancing the cards.
And This chapter will not include how Jaden met Chumley.
Sorry fans, but the one we're interested in is Shizuku.
Enjoy.
A welcome to Duel Academy
Another sight was heard as Shizuku was reading a book. Currently, Shizuku was in a helicopter, heading toward Duel Academy.
"Excuse me" said a girl with light blue hair and red eyes "what's the name of the book that you are reading? It's look like a good book"
"36 Stratagems" answered Shizuku "A strategy book"
"Oh. My name is Sky, Sky Kisaragi" said the girl with a smile "What's yours"
Not looking away from her book, Shizuku answered "Shizuku Miniwa"
"It's nice to meet you" said Sky "I saw your duel. You were amazing!"
"You talk like you didn't pass but entered Duel Academy in hiding yourself with the crowd" commented Shizuku while turning a page of her book.
"That's… somehow near the truth" said nervously Sky, making Shizuku looking at her with confusion.
Flashback
Sky: 1300
Proctor: 3200
Sky was having in her side of the field: Apprentice Priest in defense position and Shield Of The Crusade in defense position.
Apprentice Priest (Level 2) 500 / 1200
Shield Of The Crusade (Level 5) 1000 / 2500
The proctor was having: Red-Eyes Black Dragon in attack position and one card set in the Spell, Trap Cards area.
Red-Eyes Black Dragon (Level 7) 2400 / 2000
It was Sky's turn "I play my Spell Card, March Of The Crusade. If I possess 1 Light Monster in the field, I can tribute him in order to Special Summon 1 Light monster from my hand with no cost. I choose to tribute Apprentice Priest in order to Special Summon Metatron from my hand" an angel with white wings appeared in her side of the field.
Metatron (Level 8) 2600 / 2300
"When Metatron is summoned, I can pay 1000 Life Points in order to control one of your monsters" said Sky as she sacrificed 1000 Life Points and gaining the control of Red-Eyes Black Dragon.
Sky: 300
Proctor: 3200
"Next I play Holy Wind, by sending one monster to the Graveyard I can win the amount of their Defense Points as Life Points and destroy one Spell or Trap Card" a gold wind enveloped Shield Of The Crusade before destroying the Trap Card Acid Trap Hole.
Sky: 2800
Proctor: 3200
"And now, I Attack you directly with Metatron and Red-Eyes Black Dragon" said Sky as both monsters attacked the proctor directly.
Sky: 2800
Proctor: 0000
End Flashback
Sky was looking down while saying "It was by pure luck that I won…"
'She surly has a lack of confidence' commented mentally Shizuku "But you won, so where's the problem?"
"If it wasn't for the Spell Card March Of The Crusade, I couldn't have won" answered Sky before regaining her smile "But this is the past now! I need to get ready for my new life in Duel Academy!"
'New life, huh?' thought Shizuku as memories of her previous life as the Merciless Dragon began to come out 'No! This was Yan Pin. I'm not her, I'm now Shizuku Miniwa, not her!'
"Is everything alright?" asked Sky.
"Yes" responded Shizuku before hearing the pilot speaking.
"Attention new Duel Academy, if you look outside your windows, you'll see your new home away from home" he said "Now now. I know you're still excited, but don't shove"
'So, this is Duel Academy?' thought Shizuku as she glanced toward the academy.
'So cool! I can't believe myself!' thought Sky with enthusiast 'I've finally achieved one of my dreams!'
"Quite sight, eh?" said the pilot "Now, fasten your seatbelts and send your seat back to a right position. We're going up to land. Next up, Academy Island"
"Look at that Shizu, it's Duel Academy!" said Sky with excitement.
"Shizu?" said Shizuku with confusion.
"Sorry, I mean Shizuku" said Sky while looking at, maybe, her new friend.
'So it was a surname' thought Shizuku before saying "I don't mind, Sky"
The look of apology, which was in the face of Sky turned into joy as she hugged Shizuku while saying "Yay! I made a friend!"
(Play Track - Guilty Gear Xrd OST Django django) 'I really tried to resist the urge to add that part. The OST Part'
When the helicopter landed, the students were escorted by the staff inside the main building. Once inside, they found their uniform.
'Obelisk Blue, huh?' thought Shizuku as she eyed her uniform 'Why I'm not surprised?'
In fact, she knew that all the girls were sent to the Obelisk Blue dorm, yet this didn't make her feel at ease. She knew that most Obelisk student, if not all of them, were snobs from rich families.
"Its look like we're in the same dorm" said Sky as she approached Shizuku, who was still looking at her uniform.
"Yes" replied Shizuku as she began on changing her cloths "By the way, how did you get that Deck?"
"What do you mean?" asked Sky.
"The Crusader Deck" replied Shizuku "That Deck is still in the test period"
"How did you know?!" asked Sky with shock.
"My adoptive father told me about some new Decks, and the Crusader Deck is by far the one that was described as highly dangerous if left in the wrong hand" replied Shizuku as she looked at the skirt "This skirt is disrespectful, anyone will see my butt" she then tuned to Sky "Normally this Deck must be in Industrial Illusions, so my question is 'How did you get it?'"
"Um… this is really embarrassing" said Sky while looking away "The brother of my mother asked the owner of Industrial Illusions to let me use the deck"
"I see" said Shizuku as she was wearing her uniform "Then you must be careful with that Deck"
"Aren't you gonna laugh at me?" said Sky "Saying that I should not possess that Deck, saying that I'm an error and I shoudn't be born" she was at the verge of crying, as her voice was filled with sorrow. It was obvious that her family or someone she knew said that to her.
"You've done nothing wrong" replied Shizuku "You are a normal girl, maybe the color of your hair is unique, but that doesn't make you an error"
Sky began to look at Shizuku with her eyes "R-really?"
"Yes" answered Shizuku "You are Sky, and you are now a student in Duel Academy"
Sky began to cries as she hugged Shizuku again "You are truly a friend Shizu"
"Come now" said Shizuku as she patted her back "Let's go see our new dorm"
"Okay!" said Sky, regaining her enthusiast "But shouldn't we go wait for the speech first?"
"I've totally forgot about that" said Shizuku while scratching the back of her head "I truly hate speeches"
Sky laughed nervously and said "It can't be that bad"
They entered the auditorium and waited for the speech. A bald, kind looking man appeared.
"Good morning and welcome, my students!" he said "I'm Chancellor Sheppard, headmaster here! And you are the best and brightest young duelists in the world! Now please, get yourself settled in at your assigned dorms! I think you'll find them quite comfortable, depending on how you rank, of course!"
'Please somebody kill me' commented mentally Shizuru 'This is why I hate speeches, there's nothing true in it. Since the Silfers are having the worst place to live in'
In their way out, they met with Bastion, Jaden and Syrus.
"Hey guy" said Shizuku in her monotone voice.
"Hey there" replied Jaden as Bastion gave a nod back while Syrus…
"An angel" he mumbled when he saw Sky "She's so pretty…"
Everyone began to look at him and Sky blushed at the comment of Syrus. In truth, many boys told her that she was pretty, but their words were empty, however the words that came out of the boy's mouth were sincere.
"What did you say?" said Jaden while raising an eyebrow.
"N-nothing" replied Syrus as he began to move "L-let's go to our dorm" it was obvious that he was embarrassed.
"Euh… Syrus" began Bastion "You dorm is that way"
"Oh, yes, I knew that!" said Syrus "A-anyway let's go Jaden!"
"Ok" replied Jaden before turning to his friends "Later"
"That was odd" commented Bastion.
"D-do you think that he means that?" asked Sky, still blushing.
"Boys like him are… um" began Shizuku but didn't know what to say "I really don't know what to say, but I can guaranty that he was sincere"
"How can you be so sure?" asked Bastion.
"He's still young" answered Shizuku as she began to move toward her dorm.
"D-do you really think that I may have a chance with him?" asked Sky as she walked with her friend.
"She's really asking?" said Bastion before beginning to walk toward the Ra dorm.
(Stop Track)
In the Blue Obelisk girl dorm
"So… this is the dorm?" asked Sky.
"Normally, yes" answered Shizuku.
"So… Where's our rooms?" asked Sky.
"Inside" answered Shizuku "We have to talk with the one in charge here"
"So let's go!" said Sky with enthusiast "Men. March!"
Shizuku chuckled at the attitude of her new friend. She was carefree, filled with joy, but also filled with sadness.
"Hey!" called a voice, they turned to see a woman with the same cloths as them "Are you the new girls?"
"Yes" answered Shizuku "I'm Shizuku Miniwa" she then pointed Sky "And this is Sky Kisaragi"
"It's nice to meet you" said the woman "I'm Fonda Fontaine the nurse, the sport teacher and the counselor of the Blue Obelisk girl dorm"
"That's… a lot" commented Shizuku.
"Yeah!" added Sky "You must be a great teacher if you can keep up with all these positions!"
"Please stop" said Ms. Fontaine while waving her hand "I'm great, but not that great. Anyways, you belongings have been posted and are in your rooms"
"Sorry for the troubles teach" said Sky with embarrassment.
"Don't mention it" replied Fonda "By the way here's the number of your rooms. Shizuku will have the room number 54 and Sky the room number 57"
When Sky tried to search for her room, she accidently knocked the wrong door, when the door opened, she was greeted by Alexis.
"Yes, can I help you?" said Alexis.
"Its juuust… that I am… a little lost" answered nervously Sky.
"Where do you want to go?" asked Alexis.
"Room number 57" answered Sky.
Alexis smiled and said "You missed it by two doors"
"Thank you…" replied Sky trying to remember the girl's name, except that she never learned it.
"I'm Alexis, Alexis Rhodes" said Alexis "And you are?"
"Oh sorry" apologized Sky "I'm Sky Kisaragi, thank you again for helping me. In truth, I'm not good enough with directions"
"It's not a problem" replied Alexis "If you need any help, just come and ask"
Meanwhile, Shizuku was…
"Signs that the door had been opened multiple time, no heart beat, no sense of perfume… then this is my room" she said after analyzing the door, she then proceeded to open it and took out a note book from her bag pack "Cloths, Check. Underwears, Check. Familial sword, Check. Guitar, Check. Violin, Check. Piano…" she looked around the room and didn't find her piano "… not Check"
She went out of her room to ask Ms. Fontaine about her lost instrument, but then she heard what she can describe as the worst way to play piano. She followed the sound and found two girls trying to use what she could describe as her piano.
"No!" said the first "It's not like that!"
"Hey!" snapped the second "I'm trying to do my best here"
"No, you're not!" yelled the other "Here! Let me show you!"
"I'm waiting" said the second one with a tick mark "Let's see the great Jasmine in action"
The girl named Jasmine began to… no one can call that music. It was like some sort of horror movie for a piano master. It was like looking at a monster in pretty cloths. It was a nightmare for her.
"Enough!" yelled Shizuku as she approached the two girls "Get up!" Jasmine got up quickly and Shizuku took her place.
(After Writhe In Pain 'Millia rage – theme' piano version)
"This is how you play" she said turning to the two.
"Wow" they were both of them zoning out.
"Mindy" said Jasmine with a low voice "I feel defeated"
"Funny thing" replied the girl named Mindy "Me too"
"Now who will help me with this?" mumbled Shizuku as she was thinking on a way to move her piano.
"What was that?" asked Ms. Fonda as she came toward the girls.
"I'm trying to get my piano into my room" answered Shizuku "I found those two 'Trying' to play something"
"Sorry about that" replied the two girls.
"I see" said Ms. Fonda before "So the guitar and the violin are your propriety?"
"Yes" answered Shizuku.
"Wait a second!" said the voice, full of enthusiast, of Sky, who was with Alexis "You mean that Shizu can play music?!"
Shizuku nodded and then looked at Ms. Fonda "Why is everyone acting like this is exceptional?"
"Well, playing one instrument can't be perfected in a little time" answered the teacher "You need to know that playing three instruments at a young age is not something that anyone can do"
"Can you teach me?!" asked Sky "Please! Please! Please! Please! Plea-"
"Ok, ok, I get it" replied Shizuku, hoping to silence Sky "But first a Duel"
"What?! Why?!" asked Sky with shock.
"You don't have enough confidence in yourself" answered Shisuku before looking at Ms. Fonda "Is it okay if we duel outside?"
"I don't see a problem" replied the teacher.
"Thank you" said Shizuku before looking at Sky "Get ready"
Later in the garden.
"Can I go away?" asked Sky as comical tears were falling from her eyes.
"Don't worry" said Shizuku "It's only a friendly Duel"
"If you say so" said Sky.
"Duel!"
Shizuku: 4000
Sky: 4000
"Who'll go first?" asked Sky.
"You can go first" answered Shizuku
"Okay" said Shizuku as she draws a card "I play The knight Crusader in Attack Mode" a knight in white with a red cross on his chest appeared.
The knight Crusader (Level 4) 1700 / 1500
"A knight eh?" commented Shizuku.
"I complete with a set card" declared Sky before ending her turn.
"Then it's my turn" said Shizuku as she draws a card "I use the Effect of my Raider, if you have monsters and I don't, I can special summon him with no cost, but I'll have to spend 300 Life Points" and a Viking holding a battle-axe appeared.
Shizuku: 3700
Sky: 4000
The Raider (Level 6) 2500 / 2000
"Now I summon my Warden in attack position" she added as her knight appeared.
The Warden (Level 4) 2000 / 1500
"Now I activate the other effect of my Raider, all the Warrior type monsters in my side of the Field except him win 300 attack points"
The Warden (Level 4) 2300 / 1500
"Warden! De-" ordered Shizuku before being interrupted by Sky.
"Not so fast!" yelled Sky "I activate Threatening Roar and end your Battle Phase!"
"See" said Shizuku "All you need, is believing in yourself"
"If you say so" said Sky with a low voice.
"Stop thinking that you are weak and beat me" said Shizuku before setting a card and ending her turn.
"What a Duel!" commented Mindy.
"If this Shizuku was a dude…" began Jasmine "It would be love at first sight"
"Stop it you two" said Alexis as she watched the Duel, She knew that Shizuku will not hold herself.
"I draw and tribute my Knigtht Crusader in order to summon The Inquisitor" said Sky as a hooded man in a white robe appeared.
The Inquisitor (Level 6) 2300 / 1900
"Now I activate his effect, by sacrificing 500 Life Points I can remove all additional Attack Points from all your monsters"
Shizuku: 3700
Sky: 3500
The Warden (Level 4) 2000 / 1500
"Not so fast!" said Shizuku as she revealed her Trap Card, Waboku.
"I end my turn" said Sky.
"Then it's my turn" said Shizuku as she draws "I tribute my Warden and summon The Kensei in Attack mode" a samurai appeared, replacing the knight.
The Kensei (Level 7) 2700 / 2500
"And now his effect will take place" said Shizuku "every monster in the Field, he gains 300 Attack Points"
The Kensei (Level 7) 3600 / 2500
"Attack!" commended Shizuku as she saw her samurai decapitating the knight with one strike.
Shizuku: 3700
Sky: 2200
"And now Raider" said the Warrior Duelist "End this" and the Viking slashed her with his battle-axe.
Shizuku: 3700
Sky: 0000
"I lost again" said Sky while looking down.
"You shouldn't be like that" said Shizuku "Maybe that you've lost, but that doesn't mean the end. Go study your cards, create combos, add more cards… if you can do that, you will become a good duelist"
Fonda clapped and said "It was a good Duel"
"But, I lost…" said Sky with a sad tone.
"And?" replied Shizuku "I didn't become like that in a single Duel. I lost countless Duels maybe more than you, but I didn't gave up. I continued to Duel until I reached this level"
"I see" replied Sky while regaining her good mood "Please take care of me! Big sister!"
"Huh?!"
