Blair's Graduation: Red Hat's Return
A/N: This is based on Tag Force 3 universe. The cards used are based on very early 2009 era. So some things may not add up with 2008/2009 OCG sets. Some liberties have to be taken. Card Pool does not match Tag Force 3
It was late in the evening at Duel Academy. During this time, a certain blue haired Obelisk Blue girl was staring off into the horizon near the cliffside at the Slifer Red dorm. The Obelisk Blue girl in question was Blair Flannigan. Her soft and round eyes had gotten sharper. Her blue hair was still wild, with random tuffs jutting out, but more graceful and controlled then how it was before. While she has grown taller, not by a whole lot as she was still releativily short.
After departing from Red Hat two years ago. She made a promise to become the top duelist at the Academy. That way, when he returns, she has become much better and stronger duelist. What she wanted was to be his equal. Able to stand and walk by his side. Not just as lovers, but as powerful duelists. She wanted to drop out, just to be by his side forever. Red Hat didn't let her make that decision. He wanted what was best for her, not just rush such a huge comitment. He didn't want her to become a drop out girl, just to be by his side.
Blair while saddened, understood he meant well. He truly cared for her to not let her make such a drastic decision like that. At first she didn't understand why, but she eventually knew. Not only did they not have any plans at the time, but they have no place to live. She knows what she wants, but it's not something she can just rush to fullfil.
"Tomorrow is the day..." Blair said silently. She took out her deck box and and a few cards. The few cards were goodbye gifts from Red Hat. The cards in question works wonders for her deck and she does the occasional Synchro Summon, that is slowly rising in popularity among the pro circuit. Only a handful are released to the public. That way, they can get used to the new mechanic. Many more are becoming avadible in recent times after it took off in the pro circuit.
"I want you to be proud of me Red Hat." She muttered. She keep on staring off into the horizon, ignoring the stares and comments from the many Slifer Reds at the dorm watching her with curiosity.
"Whats an Obelisk Blue girl doing here?"
"Why does she always come here?"
"Guys we shouldn't make her angry, let's head back inside."
"She can just make fun of us, let's get out of site." The slifer red students returned back their rooms. Blair ignored them, but had a slight smile. They had the wrong impression of her. She wasn't like most Obelisk Blue girls that come around over the years. Despite many aren't as bad as they used to.
"It's time I prepare for his return, and my graduation match." Blair puts away her cards and leaves the Red Dorm.
Blair always did her best to watch Red Hat's duels on TV. It always amazed her, that he can pull off many plays most people can't do. She always admired Red Hat's ability to adapt to many strategies especially now with the advent of synchros. Blair used Red Hat's duels as imspiration to improve her dueling skills even further. Red Hat once told her, with the new deck she aquired, she is already strong duelist. Blair shock her head at that thought. She knew if she wanted to be his equal, she would have to go above and beyond. She wanted to be more then just the girl who wants to be with her crush. She want's to prove she can stand on her own as a duelist. She wanted to impress him with the duelist and woman she had become since he left.
Blair returned to the Obelisk Blue Girls dorm and entered her room. As she got changed into her pajamas, she layed down on her bed. She had many thoughts going through her head. From imagining Red Hat's return, the graduation duel and many other things. She took a deep breath and calmed down. She couldn't be acting like this. She'll find out by tomorrow morning when it's time. Soon Blair drifted to sleep with a smile on her face.
Meanwhile at the out skirts of Domino City
A young man who goes by the name Red Hat, was currently in his new home he obtained after so much time and energy and hoops he had to jump through just to otain his new home. He has been preparing for this day. Tomorrow morning he would return to Duel Academy to make due with his promise he made, to return and pick up Blair once she graduates. Red Hat has been in the pro circuit for the first couple years once he left Duel Academy. Red Hat wanted to make a point and start at the lowest ranks and climb up. Despite his win streak, he never comments on it and refuses interviews. Not wanting to get involved with such affairs.
Red Hat had been taking advantage of the new synchro mechanic to make plays many never thought would be imaginable. The first year, Red Hat has been meaning to find a place where he can call home... and also for the one he cares about. He had to jump through so many hoops just to earn enough money to be able to obtain the home, while getting the necessary furniture to make it livable. Despite Red Hat having to pay on a consistent basis, he knew it would be worth it. If it meant... she was happy.
"Blair... It's time. I'm coming for you." He muttered as he prepared a different deck. Red Hat soon drifted to sleep on his couch.
Next Morning
Red Hat woke up as soon as the sun shined through his window. As he got up, he noticed the time was at 6:30am. The ferry would leave in an hour. Red Hat quickly got ready and took a backpack filled with a few deck boxes and some small amount food.
"I don't have much time. I need to hurry." Red Hat got his things ready and left his house. Once he locked his house, he began running to the harbor to catch the ferry on it's way to Duel Academy.
Red Hat ran throught the city to catch the ferry at the harbor. Many of the people walking by gave him questionale glances. While others stared at him with awkard looks. Red Hat mentally chuckled. This reminded him of what Jaden told him long ago about being late. Only this time it's to catch a ride. The last thing he wanted to do was manually ride a boat to Duel Academy.
As he made his way to the docks, he could see many people getting on the ferry. He knew this was the ferry to leads to Duel Academy. He made his way and got on the ferry. After a while the ferry soon started sailing, leaving the docks. Red Hat turned to the other direction to see the open sea. Soon he would be reunited with the one he cares for, Blair.
Red Hat had a small smile on his face as he remembered everything that has happeed between them. 'Who would have thought such a young girl could change my entire life. I owe so much to Blair. I promised her to come back to her and pick her up. I even promised her back then I would be her hero. It's time to finally fulfil that promise.' Red Hat continues his thoughts as he rides the ferry to Duel Academy.
At Duel Academy
Blair woke up from her slumber. As she stretched and got ready for her graduatio match. She took a glance through her window and stared off. How times flies and how times have changed. Long ago she would be trying to get Jaden's attention and stay at the Slifer Red dorm to be next to him. She now slept here ever since he left and comes to the Red Dorm as a reminder who she actually loved. It wasn't Jaden, but rather the same boy in the red hat, that help her through so much.
Blair took a deep breath and sighed, she had to get ready for whats to come. As she got dressed in her Obelisk Blue uniform. Blair packed all her things. Wanting to be fully ready to leave once the graduation match was over. It took her a while, but she managed to get everything she needed all packed up. Now she had to make her grand entrance to the graduation match.
Flashback
All of the students looked as the names of the students that got the top 10 results on the tests appeared on a screan. Blair's name came up as number one, and everyone gasped in amazement and admiration. Rarely if ever has their been a female student that surpassed everyone with such high remarks. This earned Blair many cheers, especially from the girls side. Although she thought nothing of it. Who she really wanted to impress was the one she loves.
Dr. Crowler who was still teaching at Duel Academy, turned towards Blair with a proud smile onhis face. "Congrats Blair Flannigan, you have gotten the highest score in the school, and you know what that means. You win the honor of being the headline in this year's graduation match."
Blair gave him a warm smile. "Thank you Dr. Crowler."
Crowler looked at her with a bigger smile. "Now as tradition dictates that you get to pick whoever you want as your opponent and if it get's to be a Tag Duel, you get to choose your partner. Doesn't matter who it is. So what will you decide Blair?"
Everyone began discussion that, wondering who Blair would pick as she just stood there smiling. Many would assume she would pick the best opponents until she spoke up.
"The graduation match will be a Tag Duel. My opponets will be Wisteria and Bright, the second and thrid top students. My patner will be a surprise. My partner will appear tomorrow."
Everyone was surprised by this. Who will her partner be? An Obelisk Blue, A Ra Yellow, A Slifer Red, or a close friend of hers or someone else. Crowler then spoke up. "Very well then Miss Flannigan. It's your decision so it will be granted. Just make sure your partner arrives on the duel field on time. Are we clear?"
"Yes, Dr. Crowler."repled Blair with a smile.
End of Flashback
As Blair walked through the hallways as everyone else was at the Duel Arena. As she walked on she then notice someone. A certain blonde girl. Alexis Rhodes.
"Blair is that you?" Alexis asked as she turned to her direction.
Blair was shocked that she saw Alexis here. "Alexis... So you're here."
Alexis nodded. "That's right. In a couple years, I'll be teaching here at Duel Academy. As of right now I'm a teacher in training."
"Amazing." replied Blair. "Today is my graduation match. So you'll be watching?"
Alexis nodded and smiled. "I'll be watching your match Blair. You are one of the best students and one of the best duelists at the academy. Do your best and give them a match they'll never forget."
Blair smiled at that. "Thank you Alexis. I'll put on a show for everyone. I'll give them one of my best duels." Blair continues walking to the Duel Arena. Alexis smiled, knowing Blair has a bright future as a duelist.
Blair walked out into the Duel Field. As she made her etrance, she saw both Wisteria and Bright facing her. Bright had a slight smile, while Wisteria just had a scowl on her face. Wisteria had light purple hair in two pigtails and had red eyes. Bright had short green hair and was the only one in the school who wore glasses over her blue eyes. Both were dressed in their Obelisk lue girls uniform.
Blair stood there waiting. She knew he'd be here soon. 'I believe you'll arrive.'
The crowd were starting to mumur at Blair's lack of a partner. "Where is her partner?"
"Is she dueling all by herself?" another student asked.
"Did she find no partner?" Another Student asked.
"Is she planning to show off?" A female student asked.
Blair stood there ignoring the comments from the stands. 'I believe in you Red Hat.'
"Waiting for someone." Blair turned around and saw Red Hat walking up to her. Blair was stunned by Red Hat's new apperance. While he still had his red hat. He wore a red and black jacket over a black long shirt instead of his old Slifer jacket. He wore dark blue pants. His outfit was complete with dark brown boots. He looked older and more mature.
Blair smile, she nearly couldn't believe that it was the same person. Besides his voice and more smooth deminer, she wouldn't have accepted it at all. It really was him. The same person she fell in love with. While she had grown a bit taller, yet she still barely reached his chest.
Red Hat walked close to the Duel Field to bring her into a hug. Blair buried her face into his chest. She blushed when she realised that he had filled out his frame more since he left and his chest felt much harder now.
"Blair." He whispered in her ear. "I kept my promise. I've returned for you and to see your duel. Looks like we'll be partnering up."
"I knew you'd come, Red Hat." Blair whispered.
Wisteria glared at Blair. "Hold on! Your partner is him? The notorious Red Hat?"
Bright adjusted her glasses. Finding Wisteria's reaction amusing. "Why are you surprised again? It was obvious from the start. You should have know she wouldn't pick anyone else. Besides, she would talk about him a lot in her free time. More so, after Tyranno Hassleberry left the Academy a year ago."
The crowd began to murmur again. "Her partner is a Pro?"
"Isn't that an unfair advantage?"
"The Red Hat? The same guy who used to hang with that drop out boy?"
"Blair's partner has arrived." Alexis announced. "Reguardless who she partners with, it's time we begin the graduation match."
Crowler stood up. "Indeed, this is the special graduation match. It's Blair's choice and she specifically requested this set up." Crowler spoke through a micrphone in hand. "And now, ladies and gentlmen, we commence, with the Graduation Match between Blair Flannigan and the Red Hat vs Wisteria and Bright!"
"Time to take you both down!" Wisteria declared as she readied her duel disk.
"Paitence Wisteria. Lets make this a fabulous duel." said Bright as she readied her duel disk and adjusted her glasses.
"Bring it on you two!" Red Hat readied his duel disk. 'Time to play a fun deck. After all, this is meant to be a fun match.'
"Lets duel!" Blair exclaims as she readied her duel disk.
Blair & Red Hat: 8000 LP
Wisteria & Bright: 8000 LP
"You decide who goes first." Blair told Wisteria.
"You go first cutie pie." Wisteria hissed. "I want to crush you."
"Very well. My turn I draw!" Blair draws.
Hand 6
"I play the spell Solar Recharge! I discard a Lightsworn monster to draw 2 cards, then I send the top two cards from my deck to the grave." Blair discards Ryko Lightsworn Hunter as she draws her cards. She then mils Dandylion and Bottomless Trap Hole. "Dandylion was sent to the graveyard so I get two fluff tokens on my field. (LV1 Atk: 0 Def: 0 X2)" Two fluff tokens appear on the field. "I play the Spell Charge of the Light Brigade! I send the top 3 cards of my deck to the grave to add a LV4 or lower Lightsworn monster from my deck to my hand." Blair mills Wulf Lightsworn Beast, Jain Lightsworn Paladin and Premature Burial. "I'll add Lumina ightsworn Summer to my hand. Wulf Lightsworn Beast effect, if he's sent to my deck to the graveyard I can special summon him to my field. Come out my beast! (LV4 Atk: 2100 Def: 300)" A wolf like beast with a staff appeared on field.
"Tch, spamming monsters aren't you?" Wisteria said in an annoyed tone.
"I'm still not done. Time for a little something else I play the quick play spell, Emergency Teleport! With this I can special summon a level 3 or lower Psychic type monster from my hand or deck, but it get's banished during the end phase. Appear the tuner monster Krebons! (LV2 Atk: 1200 Def: 400)" A psychic in a purple suit appeared on the field.
This caught the audience attention. "A tuner monster?"
"Wait she has the new synchro monsters? Most are hard to come by."
"Time for a little surprise I tune both my level 1 fluff tokens, my level 4 Wulf Lightsworn Beast and level 2 Krebons!" Krebons transformed into particals of green light as both the fluff tokens and Wulf floated up into green glowing rings as the particals surrounded them and soon the field glowed bright green. "Synchro Summon! Appear Thought Ruler Archfiend! (LV8 Atk: 2700 Def: 2300)" A green dragon with purple armor and gold talons appeared onto the field. "I end my turn here." Blair ends her turn. 'I need to conserve resources. Can't show off too much as it may cost me.'
Hand 5
"Fasinating Synchro monster, but it won't work. My turn, I draw!" Wisteria draws.
Hand 6
"I summon Manju of the Ten Thousand Hands! (LV4 Atk: 1400 Def: 1000)" A being with many arms appears on the field. "Now it's effect allow me to add a ritual spell card or monster from my deck to my hand. I'll add the spell Advance Ritual Art! Now, I'll play the spell Advance Ritual Art! I send normal monsters from my deck to grave who levels are exactly the same as the ritual monster I'll use. I send 2 Archfiend Soldiers to the graveyard to Ritual summon, Demise King of Aramageddon! (LV8 Atk: 2400 Def: 2000)" The field was covered in darkness. Soon a demon with heavy black armor and blue flames rose up from the darkness wielding an axe. The darkness fades as he appeared.
"Advance Ritual Art strategy." Red Hat chuckled as he remembered using that same strategy a few years back. "That brings me back."
"Go ahead, keep acting all smug." Wisteria commented. "Demise effect, by paying 2000 LP I can destroy all other cards on the field! So much for your new synchro monster! Go, Reign of Darkness!" Demise King unleashed a blast of blue flames and dark waves. Destroying all cards on the field.
Wisteria & Bright: 8000 - 6000 LP
"It will take more then that to stop us. I remember that same tactic." Blair said with a smile.
Wisteria ignored her comment. "I banish Manju and Archfiend Soldier to special summon Chaos Sorcerer! (LV6 AtK: 2300 Def: 2000)" Chaos Sorcerer appears on the field. "Battle, Demise and Chaos Sorcerer attack them directly!" Chaos Sorcerer fires purple flames at Blair, while Demise swings his axe at Red Hat.
Blair & Red Hat: 8000 - 5600- 3300 LP
"I set one card facedown and end my turn. Let's see how you deal with this!" Wisteria ends her turn.
Hand 2
"Boku no turn! Draw!" Red Hat draws.
Hand 6
"I summon Morphtronic Celfon in attack mode! (LV1 Atk: 100 Def: 100)" A small phone which then transformed into a small robot with dial numbers on it's body appeared.
Wisteria smirks at this. "Just do you intend to do with that pathetic excuse of a machine?"
"Yeah, who said I was done. I play the spell Machine Duplication! With this I target a machine monster with 500 or less attack points and summon 2 more from my deck! Come out 2 more Morphtronic Celfon attack mode! (LV1 Atk: 100 Def: 100)" Two more Celfon's appeared and transformed. "Now I activate Morphtronic Celfon effect! Once per turn, I roll a six sided dice. Then I pick up cards cards equal to the roll. If any are Morphtronic monsters, I can special summon one of them. The rest get shuffled into the deck."
Bright adjested her glasses as she heard that. "You're betting your come back on luck? That's not like you at all."
"No kidding." agreed Alexis. "If all three of them don't give him the results he needs, then it's game over."
"Lets hope luck is on my side." A hologram dice appeared and was tossed. 'I don't have Jaden's absurd luck, but let's hope I didn't make a huge mistake.' The dice landed on four. "Alright a 4. Let's see what I get." Red Hat picks up four cards from his deck. The cards shown were Solemn Judgment, Morphtronic Remoten, Mirror Force and Heavy Storm. "Alright I special summon the tuner monster Morphtronic Remoten in attack mode! (LV3 Atk: 300 Def: 1400)" A Remote appears where its eyes glowed on it's vizor and released arms and legs. Red Hat returned and shuffled the rest of the other cards back into his deck." Time for the second Celfon. Let's roll!" A second dice appeared and was tossed. This time landing on three. "Let's see what I can dig." Red Hat picked up three cards from his deck. The cards shown was Morphtronic Borden, Mystical Space Typhoon and Morphtronic Accelerator. "Perfect, I special summon Morphtronic Bordern defense mode! (LV3 Atk: 500 Def: 1800)" A board appeared on the field.
"Just what are you plotting?" Wisteria asked raising an eye brow at his questionable plays.
"Simple, I tune level 3 Morphtronic Borden with level 3 Morphtronic Remoten!" Morphtronic Remoten transformed into particals of green light as Morphtronic Remoten floated up into green glowing rings as the particals surrounded them and soon the field glowed bright green. "Synchro summon! Appear Naturia Barkion! (LV6 Atk: 2500 Def: 1800)" A serpent-like dragon covered in stone appeared on the field.
"Another synchro monster." Bright points out. "This might not turn out well."
"One more Celfon, let's roll!" A third dice materialized and was tossed. It landed on six. "Alright maximun number, let's see." Red Hat picks up six cards. What was shown was Morphtronic Scopen, Bottomless Trap Hole, Morphtronic Boomboxen, Torrential Tribute, Monster Reborn and a second Morphtronic Scopen. "I special summon the tuner monster Morphtronic Scopen in defense mode! (LV3 - 4 Atk: 800 Def: 1400)" A micoscope like machine appeared onto the field. "Did I mention Morphtronic have different effects depending on their battle posistions? Most of the time, Morphtronic are not worth being in defense mode. Scopen's effect, it becomes a level 4 monster."
"Is your turn gonna end sometime this century? I want to get going." Wisteria groans, having to wait through all of Red Hat's plays.
"I'm still not done. I tune two of my level 2 Morphtronic Celfon and level 4 Morphtronic Scopen!" The same pattern of green lights was shown. "Synchro Summon! Come out Brionac Dragon of the Ice Barrier! Despite it's name it's not a dragon. (LV6 Atk: 2300 Def: 1400)" A blue dragon covered in ice appeared onto the field and let out a might roar. "I play the spell card Junk Box! With this I special summon a Morphtronic monster from my graveyard! Return Morphtronic Scopen in attack mode! (LV3 Atk: 800 Def: 1400) Now I use it's attack position effect. Once per turn I special summon a level 4 Morphtronic from my hand. I special summon Morphtronic Radion! (LV4 Atk: 1000 - 1800 Def: 900) (LV3 Atk: 800 - 1600 Def: 1400)" A radio lke machine appeared as it transform from it's base form. "Radion attact position effect gives all Morphtronic 800 attack ppoints but that's not the point right now. I tune level 4 Morphtronic Radion, level 1 Morphtronic Celfon and level 3 Morphtronic Scopen!" The pattern of green lights was shown once again only this time it shine much brighter. "The hopes of the world coalesce into a single star! Synchro Summon!" Soon what shine onto the field was a majestic white light greenish dragon with blue orbs around it's chest area. "Take Flight Stardust Dragon! (LV8 Atk: 2500 Def: 2000)"
Red Hat's arm glowed slightly which everyone was completely oblivious to. Blair was amazed at the sight of the dragon. 'The same dragon that changed a lot about you back then. You almost never bring him out. I'm here, so that's why you wanted to bring him out.' Blair thought with a bright smile on her face.
"Amazing dragon. I never seen a monster like that before." Alexis said.
Wisteria eye began twitching at this. "Three synchros in one turn? Are you mad?"
Red Hat chuckled at her reaction. "Maybe I am, but who really cares. Battle, Naturia Barkion attack Chaos Sorcerer!" Naturia Barkion homed in on Chaos Sorcerer. Wisteria smirked at this.
"Go trap Mirror Force! This destroys all your monsters! So much for all that work!" Her trap was reveiled. What bothered her was that Red Hat was not bothered by this.
"Naturia Barkion effect, by banishing two cards in my graveyard. He negates your trap card and destroys it. I banish Junk Box and Machine Duplication, Go Barrier Crush!" Naturia Barkion fired a blast of brown energy from it's mouth, shattering Mirror Force trap as it was negated.
"What?!" Wisteria gasped as her trap and monster was destroyed.
Wisteria & Bright: 6000 - 5800 LP
"Stardust Dragon attack Demise King of Armageddon! Cosmic Flare!" Stardust Dragon launches a powerful blast of energy at Demise, destroying it. "Brionac attack them directly! Blizzard strike!" Brionac fired a blast of ice cold winds at Wisteria and Bright.
Wisteria & Bright: 5800 - 5700 - 3400 LP
"I set one card facedown and end my turn." Red Hat ends his turn.
Hand 1
"I need to bait him out. My turn, I draw!" Bright draws.
Hand 6
"I play the spell card Dark Hole! This will destroy all your monsters!" A black hole appeared on top of the field as it tried to absorb all the monsters.
"Don't think so. Stardust Dragon effect! I can negate the destruction of any card by tributing himself!" Stardust Dragon slowly disappears as Dark Hole was neagted and destroyed. The black hole soon disappeared.
'IThat was bait, but not enough.' Bright thought. "I set a monster. Then I set three cards facedown and end my turn." Bright ends her turn.
Hand 1
"Stardust Dragon effect, if he was sent to the graveyard by his own effect, he returns to the field! (LV8 Atk: 2500 Def: 2000)" Stardust Dragon emerges onto the field again.
"What?!" Wisteria exclaimed as Stardust Dragon returned to the field.
"Impressive monster." Alexis complimented. "And thanks to Naturia Barkion, they will have to get rid of it by battle or spend more resources to clear the board. They're in a tight spot.
"That dragon won't be easy to take out." said Bright. 'I'll have to finish them with final burn. I have a counter trap ready incase she attempts to use Brionac effect to bounce back my monster. Wish I drew Lava Golem and skip this hassle.' She thought.
Blair giggled at the display. "Wow this is so much fun. Watashi no turn! Draw!" Blair draws.
Hand 6
"Go trap card! Secret Barrel! For every card in your hand and on the field you take 200 burn damage!" Bright annouces as she revealed her trap.
"Naturia Barkion effect, I banish Emergency Teleport and Solar Recharge to negate your trap card!" Blair counters as she removed two of cards from her grave.
"Since it's spell speed 2 I can activate this! Go quick play spell Chain Strike!" Bright annouces as she chains the effect. "I can only activate it as a chain link 2 or higher. With this card I can deal 400 burn damage per chain link! Since it's a Chain Lnk 3, you take 1200 burn damage!" Chains appear around Blair as she took damage. Meanwhile Bright's trap card was negated and destroyed by Naturia Barkion's effect.
Blair & Red Hat: 3300 - 2100 LP
"Nice going." Blair compliments. "Now I activate Brionac's effect, I discard one card to bounce back your facedown monster." Blair announced as she discards one of her cards. Bright was having none of that.
"Go counter trap! Divine Wrath! By discarding one card your monster's effect is negated and destroyed! Since it's a counter trap Naturia Barkion can not negate it as it's spell speed 3." Bright discards her last card, a powerful ray of light landed on Brionac, destroying it.
"Nice work, but I'm ending this duel now!" This cause everyone in the stands to gasp and began muttering. Does she have a plan? Red Hat just gave Blair a warm smile.
"Blair, you know what to do. Summon her and make me proud." Red Hat told her.
"Of course, my sweet prince." Blair declares. Wistera cringes at their flirting. Bright just chuckled at their affection, though not being too proud herself.
"I play the spell Foolish Burial! I send a monster from my deck to the graveyard. I send Wulf Lightsworn Beast. Since he was sent from my deck to the grave I can special summon him. Come back my beast! (LV4 Atk: 2100 Def: 300)" A second Wulf appears on the field. "Now I summon Psychic Commander in attack mode. (LV3 Atk: 1400 Def: 800)" A psychic appeared in what appeared to be riding a psychic cannon. He floated in mid air to ephisise being a psychic. "Now I tune level 4 Wulf Lightsworn Beast and level 3 Psychic Commander!" Psychic Commander transformed into particals of green light as Wulf floated up into green glowing rings as the particals surrounded them and soon the field glowed bright green. "A rose always has it's thorns, black flower bloom! Synchro Summon! Come forth, Black Rose Dragon! (LV7 Atk: 2400 Def: 1800)" A beautful dragon with rose petals around it's body and wings and thorns around it's tail. Despite it's looks it was quite destructive.
"That dragon... It's beautiful, but also dangerous." Alexis commented. 'Red Hat, I know you were the one to give it to her. I rememer you gave her that card right efore you left as a gift.'
"I won't use her synchro summon effect, but I'll use her other effect! I banish Dandylion from my graveyard I target a defense position monster on your field and it's changed to attack position and it's attack becomes 0! Black Binding Bloom!" Blair announced as many roots came around Brights facedown monster. Binding it tight and forcing it into attack mode which revealed to be Marshmellon. (LV3 Atk: 300 - 0 Def: 500)
"What!?" Bright gasped. "Then that means..."
"This duel is over! Black Rose Dragon attack her Marshmellon! Black Rose Flare! Marshmellon can't be destroyed by battle, but you still take damage." Black Rose fired a dark red beam at Marshmellon. It survived the blast, but Bright still took damage.
Wisteria & Bright: 3400 - 1000 LP
Blair giggled as she couldn't wait to command Red Hat's new ace monster. "Stardust Dragon attack Bright's Marshmellon and end this duel! Cosmic Flare!" Stardust Dragon launches a powerful blast of energy hitting Marshmellon. It surived the attack, but Wisteria and Bright lost the rest of their LP.
Wisteria & Bright: 1300 - 0 LP
The students all stood up, all of them had enjoyed the duel from the beginning to the end. Both Blair and Red Hat smiled at each other as they won the duel. Sheppard Alexis and Crowler stood up again and began clapping their hands, along with the rest of the audience.
"Congratulations Blair. You won the graduation duel." Red Hat congratulated her.
Blair shook her head, but kept her smile. "No... We won this duel. Your my partner, Red Hat." Blair approached him and hugged him close. "Thank you Red Hat."
Red Hat hugged her back with a smile. He made a promise to her, and it was worth it. "Say we have to get going."
Blair letted go of her hug. "Not yet, I have a few things to pick up from my room."
Red Hat then took and held her hand. "How about a walk? This will be the last day you and I will be here after all."
"Yeah, let's walk and explore our last day on the island." Blair smiled as they both took off to head to the Obelisk Blue girls dorm. Leaving behind Wisteria and Bright. Bright trying to calm down Wisteria's tantrum after losing to 'him'.
Blair and Red Hat were walking down the path that leads to the Obelisk Blue girls dorm. Taking in as much of the sights as they could, as this would be their last day to fully see Duel Academy again. Blair couldn't wait to finally be by her sweet prince's side once again.
As they made it to the Obelisk Blue girls dorm. Red Hat stayed behind as Blair entered the dorm to get her things. Even though it was the last day. Red Hat was not going to just go in univited to the dorm. So, he just stood near the door waiting for Blair to return. Red Hat didn't have to wait for so long. In just a few minutes passed, Blair came back out carrying a bag and a backpack with all her belongings.
"This is everything Red Hat. I'm all set and ready to leave." Blair said as she carried her bag and backpack.
"Sounds good to me. Mind if I carry your bag?" Red Hat asked.
Blair smiled and gave him her bag. "You're so sweet, thank you."
"Time to go." said Red Hat as they both head off to the docks to catch the ferry waiting for them.
As they made their way down the pier, they could see Alexis waiting for them by the ferry. She began to wave as Blair and Red Hat approached them.
"Hello you two. Looks like you both came here in time. The ferry has yet to leave." Alexis pointed out to them.
"Alexis? So you watched the match?" Red Hat asked.
Alexis nodded as she kept her smile. "I wouldn't miss Blair's graduation match. Somehow I knew you'd arrive to be her partner. In a couple of years, I'll be teaching here at Duel Academy." Alexis placed her hand on Blair's shoulder. "If I started earlier, I would have been her teacher."
Blair giggled at that. "Maybe we could have had have some girl time if that was the case."
"So how is your career going Alexis?" asked Red Hat.
"I've been in training for a while. So far I'm doing beter then I hoped." replied Alexis.
Red Hat nodded in understanding. "I'm glad to hear you been doing well."
"Look at you now." Alexis smirked. "Long ago you wouldn't dare act this nice. You changed a lot Red Hat."
Blair had to giggle at that. "He has me to thank for that. Isn't that right my sweet prince!"
Red Hat lowered his hat in embarrassment. "Not true. I had to change so I don't have such a reputation anymore."
Blair giggled as she kissed his cheek. "Sure, that's the only reason sweetie!" Blair teased. "It's totally not cause you wanted to be with me and you had to learn to be nice and polite in many ways."
Red Hat turns to avoid showing his blush. "Now you're going to far."
Alexis could't help but giggle at his expense. "Sometimes you remind me of that same rebelious school boy." Alexis soon composed herself. "Anyway, congratulations you two. I hope you both do well with your futures."
Blair nodded. "We you fair well with your career Alexis. Thank you for so much you done." Blair and Red Hat soon got on board the ferry.
As the ferry begins to leave. Alexis waves at them with a smile. "I may not have always been the best to give you advice. I just wanted what was best for you!" The ferry is now father away, but Alexis still waves at them. "I wish the best for you! Red Hat do take care of her!"
Red Hat waves back at her. "Don't worry I'll take great care of Blair!"
Blair waves back at Alexis. "I'll always do my best. Good bye Alexis!" Blair and Red Hat call out as the ship sails further and further away.
Many hours passed as they set sail from Duel Acadmey. While they mostly sat down or enjoyed the sights of the sea. Blair was simply happy to have Red Hat by her side. She has dreamt for long, how her life would be after she graduated Duel Academy. She knew she couldn't just rely on Red Hat to support her. Blair wanted to prove to him, she is a capable duelist able to stand on her own. Today, she was able to prove just that. She wasn't going to quit dueling just because she now has her prince charming or lone wolf prince with her. She will continue to improve her dueling skills and to be Red Hat's equal. She made that promise, and she will not break it just because she now has her prince by her side.
Red Hat notice her down look. "Something wrong Blair?" Red asked concerned.
Blair layed her head on his shoulder. "Red Hat, I never want to leave your side. I still have my doubts, but I want to be your equal. I don't want to just be the girl who becomes the best just to drop everything just to be with the one she loves."
Red Hat pulled her to a hug. Blair buried her face into his chest. She blushed at this, but slightly smiled. "Blair, you been improving since when I was still at the academy." Red Hat was now stroking her head and hair, which cause Blair to fluster. "When you started playing Lightsworn and tearing threw fields very easily. I was already impressed. You're a great duelist with a fantastic deck Blair. I want you to continue dueling with me, but I don't to cost your happiness."
Blair now understood what he meant. For a long time, she tried so hard to meet his expectations. She now knows what he means. "No Red Hat. I know you want to make me happy, but I changed as well. I wanted to improve, I want to be a powerful duelist just like you. I don't want to be that same girl who doesn't take dueling seriously just to impress some boy who barely notices me. It wasn't just to meet your very high expectations." Blair remained flustered.
"Blair..." Red Hat kissed her forehead. "You proven me wrong already. You are great, and you are a sweet girl. I want a great duelist and sweet and cute girl like you."
Blair gasped at what he said. He truly likes... no loves her. Not just for her improved dueling abilties, but for who she is. A Maiden in Love and a sweet girl. Blair then pressed her lips against Red Hat's and kissed him. Red Hat had no idea to react, but he pulled her into a hug as they kissed. Both looked at each other flustered, but with smiles on their faces.
"Thank you Red Hat." Blair said.
Soon the ferry made it to the pier. Both knew it was time to leave the ship and begin their new adventure. Blair got her stuff as both of them left together. "Where do you want to go now Red Hat?"
Red Hat turned to her and smiled. "Come with me, I have a surprise to show you." Red Hat took her hand and began walking off while Red Hat carried her things. Blair was now curious. What did Red Hat have to show off? Since they were walking away from the city and it was just a few hours away from turning dark.
After sometime, Red Hat and Blair were walking through the outskirts of the city. They soon made it to a lone house outside the city, but not to far from the harbor. "What is with this house Red Hat?" Blair asked.
Red Hat lightly chuckled at her question. "This here is my new home. It took a while to get the necessary paper work and money needed to pay just to move in. Had to jump through hoops just to pull this off." explained Red Hat. "After paying for more in the years to come. This will be our home."
Blair smiled until her eyes widened. Their home? Did he mean... "Red Hat do you mean..."
Red Hat looked at her with a sincere look. "Blair do you want to move in with me. If you're not ready, then I understand. We can always wait."
Blair immediately hugged him with tears in her eyes. "Red Hat... I don't want to leave your side. Of course I'll move in with you!"
Red Hat hugged her close ignoring that she was getting his shirt soaked with her tears. "Blair, you don't know how much you make me happy."
Blair calmed herself as she whiped her tears. "Red Hat, I love you! I'll always love you."
"I love you too Blair." They kept their embrace for a while before they finally entered Red Hat's new home.
While not overly facny like The Obelisk Blue girls dorm. Blair loved that this is her new home with her her love. It was something a Maiden in Love like her always wanted. A beautiful home with the one she loves. It took many years for Blair, but her wish finally came true. Their future was looking bright and their lives have only just begun.
A/N: This was inspired by an older Blair fanfic. I made this so people's view on Blair can change. I really like Blair, especially in Tag Force. She's a sweet girl and character, yet very few want to give her such. So I'm doing my best so I make as many fanfic as possible related to Blair. Some of dialog may be a bit much, but it's difficult to write Blair without changing her character or making the scenes sound cheesy. Many of these will be oneshots as to give you guys how I plan out my stroies related to Blair. Morphtronic can make many plays, but needs luck to make plays. You can make many impressive boards with it. That is all folks, thanks for reading.
