Lance glanced towards the ship as his mom's car pulled up, he had spent the last few days strengthening his deck when he wasn't packing in anticipation for the duels that where to come once he arrived at Duel Academy and to be honest he was feeling a bit nervous going into it.
"Then again Chloe told me she felt the same way when we had that meal out." Lance thought as he got out of the car, her mother and his two siblings, his sister Sophie who was the youngest and his brother Mike who was the second youngest, got out so that they could help him unload his bags, they had black hair like Lance but their hair was shorter.
"This sucks bro." Mike groaned as he unloaded the bag containing Lance's duel monster cards. "I've been trying to get into Duel Academy for years but you've managed to get in the first time."
"Is that jealously I detect?" Lance asked before shaking his head. "Look dude, your water deck's good but it needs more firepower, you ever consider going to the shop that Chloe's dad owns? That's where I got my new cards from."
"You know I can never find the place." Mike shook his head. "Here's hoping I'll have similar success next year."
"Indeed, and if it's any consolation I didn't even get to use my best cards against the Test Proctor I was against." Lance admitted as he retrieved the last of his bags. "Speaking of Chloe weren't we going to meet her here?"
"I'm here." Chloe said as she ran over, her hair was in a ponytail for once and she was dragging her bags behind her, not far behind her where her parents, her mother had short blonde hair and blue eyes and was fairly tall for a woman. "Yes, I realize that my hair's in a ponytail, mom insisted." Chloe groaned.
"Don't act like that, the look suits you dear." Chloe's stepmother asserted. "Now you had better behave yourself on Duel Academy island young lady."
"Yes mom." Chloe groaned. "We all know you love to nag." Chloe muttered, only to wince when her mother span her around.
"And I won't endure any of your smart mouth young lady." Her mother scolded her causing Lance and his siblings to sweatdrop.
"And I thought mom was strict...I just know I'm going to regret saying that." Lance winced as his own mother glared at him. "Err; if you're done with Chloe I think their waiting for us."
"Yes off course." Chloe's mother sighed. "Your growing up so fast, especially after you started off." Chloe's mother sighed before reaching into her pocket. "Here, something to help you in your duels." Chloe blinked before taking her card.
"Gift of the Mystical Elf?" Chloe blinked. "Pretty situational but I'm not about to turn down a gift from my mom." Chloe thought. "Thanks mom, and don't worry I'll call you whenever I can."
"No love for your old man?" Chloe's stepdad laughed. "After all I was the one that taught you everything you know...well almost everything, I never did get around to telling you about Jinzo did I?"
"Don't worry dad, I'll call you as well." Chloe smiled looking down at her duel disk. "You know when I'm not kicking ass and taking names."
"That's a healthy attitude to have, you keep it up and this time next year you'll be in Obelisk Blue." Chloe's stepdad but Chloe's response was cut off by a scoff.
"A member of Osiris Red in Obelisk Blue? Please." A German accent rang out, they looked up and saw a male teenager with shoulder length read hair and blue eyes which were behind reading glasses and most importantly he was in an Obelisk Blue uniform. "You have as much a chance of that as the Rare Hunters returning."
"If you're so confident why don't you back it up in a duel, right here right now?" Lance said turning on his duel disk.
"Why would I waste my time with...wait a second, aren't you the duellist who defeated Proctor Peters?" The German student asked before smirking. "Ah yes Lance Alvers was it? I believe you will be a worthy challenge to me after all." The student said activating his own duel disk.
"Not here you two." A familiar voice rang out and the Ra Yellow headmaster approached them, this time wearing the uniform of his dorm. "Heinz, I don't think Obelisk Blue's headmaster would appreciate you harassing the new arrivals again." The German student's eyes narrowed before he walked off. "I'm sorry about that, as you've probably guessed not all students in Obelisk Blue are as friendly as Brandon and Theresa." Lance nodded and turned off his duel disk. "Huh, Scott it's been too long, I had no idea you had a daughter." Jeffery smiled at the site of Chloe's stepdad.
"And I never would've guessed you'd go anywhere near teaching." Her stepdad laughed. "I hope you don't intend to give her any preferential treatment."
"Off course not, besides I run the Ra Yellow boys dorm, she's in Osiris Red so I couldn't even if I wanted too." The Ra Yellow headmaster laughed.
"Wait, you two know each other?" Lance asked.
"We where rivals back in the day, not quite as famous as the rivalry between Seto Kaiba and Yugi Moto but it was pretty notable in the underground duelling scene." Chloe's stepdad responded. "It was a friendly rivalry and out of it evolved our friendship."
"We had some fierce duels back in the day but unfortunately we eventually decided to give it a rest." Jeffery said before turning his attention to Chloe. "And as much as I'd like a rematch I think it's clear that we are both too out of the game to relive the glory days, unless I duelled you Chloe but, no offence, I'd duel circles around you."
"None taken." Chloe nodded in agreement. "So, did you come down here to lead us to the ship?"
"Well, that's partially right; I came down here when I saw that a duel was about it start in order to stop it before it began." The Ra Yellow headmaster said. "It'll be explained later once you're on the ship which reminds me, I'm going to need you Duel Disks, not your decks mind you just you Duel Disks." Chloe and Lance blinked but took off their duels disks, once they took their decks out they handed the disks to him. "You'll understand once you're on the ship." The Ra Yellow Headmaster said before he walked off. "Are you two coming? I'm leading you to the entrance to the ship." He asked, Chloe and Lance looked at each other and ran in order to catch up with him. "Maria, Chloe Richardson has arrived." The Ra Yellow headmaster called out, the headmistress for the Osiris Red dorm and she walked over, like her colleague she was wearing the uniform for her dorm.
"Ah yes, glad you made it Chloe." The headmistress said before she spotted her stepdad. "Jeffery, is that?"
"Yes, it's Scott." The Ra Yellow headmaster nodded. "She's his daughter but that doesn't mean she gets any preferential treatment."
"Please, I don't give preferential treatment to my own grandchildren." Maria chuckled. "Follow me young lady." Chloe blinked but did as she was told, Lance was equally confused.
"The dorms have their own sections of the ship I take it?" Lance asked and the Ra Yellow headmaster nodded.
"Don't worry, the boat ride will only last a day but in the meantime the only time students from different dorms can interact is in the mess hall." The Ra Yellow headmaster explained as they boarded the ship. "I'm too busy to show you around but I think I can find someone to help there." Jeffery said looking around; he spotted an overweight Ra Yellow student with short black hair and brown eyes. "Hey Marcus, you have a moment?" The student looked up and blinked.
"Err sure, what do you need?" Marcus blinked.
"Marcus, meet Lance Alvers he's a new student and I'm too busy to show him around the Ra Yellow section of the ship and the mess hall, would you mind showing him around?" The Ra Yellow Headmaster asked and Marcus grinned.
"Sure I can do that." Marcus nodded, Lance approached him and Marcus extended his hand out. "Hi, I'm Marcus Reynolds; I'm a second year student here."
"Lance Alvers, I'm a first year student." Lance introduced himself as the two boys started to walk off.
"Remember boys; be in the mess hall by 3pm sharp." The Ra Yellow Headmaster called out to them before he walked off.
"3pm?" Lance asked before checking the time on his watch. "That only gives us 20 minutes."
"Don't worry about it, it's just an introductory speech by the Obelisk Blue headmaster, sure all students are required to attend but it's pretty much the same speech every year." Marcus shrugged. "So what deck do you run?"
"I run a fire deck, I do have some non fire types in there but other than that it's mostly fire." Lance said, just then realization hit Marcus.
"Hey you're that kid duelled Peters aren't you?" Marcus asked and Lance nodded. "Man that was a close duel, I'd love to duel you but duelling isn't allowed on the ship." Lance blinked at that.
"Why's that?" Lance asked.
"Same reason they keep the dorms separate, the Obelisk blue students, save for guys like Brandon and Theresa, tend to pick on students in Ra Yellow but they can be downright nasty towards guys in Osiris Red, I should know, when I joined I was initially in Red." Marcus answered.
"I noticed, I have a friend who was picked on by a German Obelisk Blue Student because she was in Osiris Red." Lance nodded.
"Let me guess, long red hair, glasses, treats the people in Ra Yellow and Osiris Red like dirt?" Marcus answered and Lance nodded. "Sounds like you met Otto Franshier, everyone calls him Heinz even the teachers, and he's a nasty piece of work, thing is though he's one of the top ranked duellists in Obelisk Blue and people are scared to stand up to him."
"I did, I came this close to duelling him, and I'll challenge him when we get to the island." Lance trailed off. "I forgot to ask, what deck do you run?"
"Dragons, I've always been a fan of dragons so it kind of fits." Marcus answered. "I know this might sound crazy but my dream is to one day own the Blue Eyes White Dragons."
"That's probably because it is crazy, no offence." Lance pointed out.
"No worries, I get that a lot." Marcus laughed. "You mentioned a friend earlier, she have a name?" Marcus asked.
"Chloe Richardson." Lance said and Marcus blinked.
"When she didn't show up I thought she had forgotten to come in, guess I was wrong." Marcus shrugged. "Sorry to say but I missed her duel."
"Then you missed a hell of a comeback, she was able to go from being on the verge of defeat to forcing the proctor to surrender." Lance answered.
"If she managed that why is she in Osiris Red?" Marcus asked. "Let me guess, she somehow pissed off a higher up?"
"Actually that's not the case." Lance shook his head. "Despite that she's still a rookie, that and she only managed an above average test score."
"Huh, you should introduce me when we get to the Mess Hall; well I've shown you around the Ra Yellow section, so what now?" Marcus asked.
"All students report to the mess hall immediately." A voice came over the PA system and Lance smiled.
"Guess that answers your question." Lance said folding his arms. "So Mr. Tour Guide, where do we go to reach the Mess Hall?"
"Follow me, be sure to keep you hands, legs and decks onboard the ship at all times during the tour." Marcus joked, he led Lance up the stairs and down the hallway, he opened a large pair of double doors and the two boys entered, the mess hall was packed but Lance was on the lookout for Chloe.
"Hey Lance." Chloe called out, Chloe ran over to the two boys, her hair was no longer in a ponytail and her blazer was closed. "So how are you finding the ship so far?"
"It's good but Duel Academy will be much better." Lance said, it was then that he noticed several botched dye jobs in Chloe's hair. "I thought you hated the thought of dying your hair?" Chloe groaned.
"It was my new roommate's idea; she thinks it would suit me." Chloe shook her head. "The sooner I have a shower and get this junk out of my hair the better."
"Wait, she thinks that having a weird combination of green, red, purple and dark brown hair would suit you?" Lance asked.
"That's exactly my point." Chloe groaned. "So you have any idea why they took our duel disks?"
"You'll find out soon." Marcus said before blinking. "Oh sorry, I'm Marcus and I'm Lance's unofficial tour guide." He introduced himself. "You are Chloe Richardson right? Lance told me about you."
"Yeah that's me." Chloe said with a nod. "I'm just hoping I don't bump into that German asshole again!"
"You know, it is rude to talk about people behind their backs, but then again what does a lowly Osiris Red know about manners?" Otto asked and Chloe groaned.
"And this is coming from the guy who is obviously overcompensating for his small penis." Chloe muttered under her breath at which point Otto span around.
"You'll pay for that you little bi..." Otto never got a chance to finish as an Indian Ra Yellow student got between them.
"Please, this isn't the time to fight!" The Indian boy pleaded.
"Give me one reason you little runt." Otto growled.
"He doesn't need too." Otto froze and slowly turned around, a tall bald man in a Obelisk Blue uniform. "Otto, return to your classmates now." Otto didn't hesitate and ran off. "Miss, are you hurt?"
"No, this little guy prevented him from getting that far." Chloe sighed.
"Good." The man nodded. "I can tell that your new here so take my advice, stay out of trouble." The man said before he walked off.
"Who was that?" Lance asked.
"You don't know? That was the Obelisk Blue headmaster, or as we like to call him, the strict teacher with the heart of gold." Marcus answered.
"Is he really that bad?" Chloe asked.
"Let me put it this way, you never piss off Otto." The young Indian boy answered. "Well this is certainly an interesting way to introduce myself, my name's Rajin, I'm a first year student."
"Join the club." Chloe said with a nod. "I'm Chloe, he's Lance, now that the introductions are done how about we find somewhere to sit before I pick any more fights with Obelisk Blue students, preferably away from the Obelisk Blue students that aren't Brandon and Theresa."
"Now that sounds good to me, or even better let's avoid picking fights all together, even if they are gigantic assholes." Lance suggested.
"You're no fun, you know that right?" Chloe joked. "Yeah, let's go." Chloe nodded.
"Follow me; I was sitting at an unoccupied table when I saw the fight." Rajin said leading them to the table and they sat down at it.
"So what deck do you run Rajin?" Lance asked, Rajin smiled and reached into his pocket producing his deck.
"I use a deck full of Spirit monsters." Rajin answered. "It's a risky deck due to the fact that they return to your hand after the turn is complete but I have enough cards in it to make up for that fact, what about you guys? I already know what Marcus runs."
"Did you know each other before duel academy or something?" Lance blinked but Rajin shook his head.
"Actually no, when it came time for me to duel there was no proctors left so Marcus volunteered." Rajin answered. "He was good but I won in the end, so about my question?"
"I run a fire deck, whilst it does contain some non fire types like Obnoxious Celtic Guardian the fact remains that it's mostly a fire deck, alongside spell and trap cards that deal damage to the opponent's life points." Lance answered.
"As for me, I use warriors and spellcasters with the appropriate support cards." Chloe answered before retrieving her deck and digging out her Silent Magician Level 8. "This card's my strongest." Marcus looked over and did a double take.
"You use Level Monsters as well?"Marcus asked but Chloe shook her head.
"No, I only use one." She shrugged before putting the magician back in her deck.
"Well regardless I'd like to pit my Horus and Armed Dragon cards against you." Marcus said with a smirk.
"You'll have to put a rain check on that." Lance said pointing to the stage at the other end of the mass hall; they looked up and saw the Obelisk blue headmaster on stage with a microphone in his hand.
"Welcome back returning students and please welcome the students who have qualified for Duel Academy, now I'm sure your eager to make as many friends as you can and talk about Duel Monsters to your heart's content but this is important, as of 20 minutes ago this ship left Domino peer for our destination: Duel Academy Island, however there are some rules that will be strictly enforced whilst on the ship." The Headmaster cleared his throat making sure to ignore the collective groans from the new students. "Whilst you are free to explore the rest of your dorm's section of the ship to your heart's content you are expected to return to your dorms before curfew which is at Midnight tonight and secondly the use of duel disks on the ship is prohibited, any questions? And I mean other than the new students moaning about how unfair the rules are." The headmaster said and the majority of the hands went down. "Now then, this next part is for the new students: some of you are here to improve your skills at duel monsters, some are here to make friends and some are here because they are rookies who are in Osiris Red to learn how to play, regardless of why they are here I want some of the more experienced students to make them feel welcome and if any new students feel that they are being bullied the headmaster for your dorm is always willing to lend an ear and put a stop to it, if the bullying is by an Obelisk Blue student do not hesitate to let me know." The headmaster stepped off the stage handing the mic to one of his assistants.
"Curfew? What are we twelve?" Lance groaned.
"If I had a dollar for every time I heard new students say that." Brandon said walking over. "Glad you guys could make it, though from I've heard you have met Otto."
"If by "met" you mean he tried to demean Chloe than yeah, we met him." Lance frowned. "Is the curfew really as strictly enforced as they said?"
"Let me put it this way, the penalty for violating curfew is being confined to your room on the ship for the rest of the trip." Brandon said sitting down. "It may seem a bit excessive to you but it works."
"Yeah, just a bit." Chloe said rolling her eyes, it was then that Brandon noticed the various colours in her hair.
"Did you pick a fight with several bottles of hair dye and lose?" Brandon asked semi-jokingly and Chloe groaned.
"I'm going to make this as short and sweet as I can my roommate if a wannabe hair stylist who thinks I would look good with dyed hair." Chloe groaned. "The sooner I can get in a shower and wash this shit out of my hair, the better." She added before looking around. "So what do we do now? Do we head back to our rooms or something?"
"Not just yet." Brandon said as the Ra Yellow headmaster walked over to them.
"Chloe, Lance, Rajin, I hope you guys aren't having too much trouble." The Ra Yellow headmaster said sitting down. "You know, aside from certain Obelisk Blue students."
"Teach, you do know there's an Obelisk Blue student sitting next to you right?" Lance pointed out; Jeffery looked up and smiled at the site of Brandon.
"Yes but he wasn't who I meant, Chloe, Lance, Rajin, what the Obelisk Blue headmaster said was true, if anyone like Otto is bullying you me and my colleagues are all ears, and I do know that the only Osiris Red student at this table did pick a fight with him but believe me, that isn't the solution for dealing with him." The Ra Yellow headmaster said. "And for that matter what on Earth happened to your hair Chloe?"
"My wannabe hairstylist of a roommate happened, that's what." Chloe groaned. "For some reason she thinks that dyed hair would suit me."
"Needless to say, she disagrees." Lance added. "So did you just come over here to chat with us?" Lance asked, the Ra Yellow headmaster shook his head and motioned to some of his assistants to come over, they did and they carried over three new dueldisks, two yellow and one red. "Are those for us?"
"The bigger yellow one is for Lance, the red one's for Chloe, these disks are for use on the school property and during field trips if you feel the need to duel and you'll get your old duel discs back at the end of the school year...or if you drop out but we're hoping that that doesn't happen." The Ra Yellow headmaster said as the assistants handed the two yellow duel disks to Rajin and Lance and the red one to Chloe. "As you can probably guess they colour coded to match your dorm and if and when you change dorms, for example Chloe moving up Ra Yellow, you will get a new duel disc, it also has one other benefit, one that only applies to teachers like me."
"Why do I get the feeling we're going to hate this benefit?" Lance asked.
"Relax; this will only be used if a duellist is in clear violation of the rules or if it's obvious that, due to a hologram malfunction, the holograms are causing serious injury to one of the players." The Ra Yellow Headmaster explained. "With just one call to Duel Academy's tech squad and as long as we know the serial number of the duel disc we can shut it off remotely and the duel is declared a draw, regardless of whose winning."
"So wait, you mean to tell me that the holograms can hurt is if something goes wrong?" Lance asked.
"It's only happened once, the result was ugly as the student who had suffered the damage went into a two month long coma, it was because of this that the academy started using its own duel disc, hopefully we won't have to use it on you." As the Ra Yellow headmaster explained this Chloe, Lance and Rajin finished putting on their duel discs and putting their decks into the slot. "Well that's everything I needed to tell you, I have other new students to worry about." The Ra Yellow headmaster said before he walked off, Chloe stood up.
"I'm going outside to get some fresh air." Chloe said as she started to walk off.
"That sounds good actually, mind if I join you?" Lance asked, she shrugged and Lance followed her outside. "Things are pretty strict on this boat huh?"
"Yeah, I don't even want to think about how strict things are on the island." Chloe said leaning forward on the rail. "At least the view's nice."
"No argument there." Lance agreed.
"Such a shame that lowly students such as yourself are here to ruin it." A familiar voice rang out, the two teens span around and saw Otto there.
"What do you want?" Lance demanded.
"Oh I don't know, a bigger room, a nice girlfriend..." Otto said ignoring the scoff from Chloe. "And most importantly off all I want A DUEL WITH YOU!" Otto said pointing to Chloe. "You will pay for humiliating me!"
"Didn't you hear you headmaster? Duels on the boat are forbidden." Lance was quick to point out. "So you'll have to wait until we reach duel academy."
"I am afraid I can't wait that long." Otto frowned. "Here's the deal, meet me at the front of the ship in twenty minutes or else."
"Or else what?" Chloe asked.
"Or else I will spread word around the campus that you are a coward; you think the bullying is bad now? If I spread that rumour around you'll drop out in a week due to the bullying." Otto smirked.
"You're on." Chloe said glaring at him. "I don't care if it's in violation of the rules; any chance to shut you up is fine by me."
"Excellent, then you puny Silent Magician will fall before my mighty machines!" Otto said walking off.
"Chloe, what are you thinking?" Lance asked. "Never mind the fact that this match might end up being like my grandmother taking on the heavyweight boxing champ off the world you'll be breaking one of the rules set in place by duel academy BEFORE you reach duel academy, that has to be some kind of world record."
"Lance, I learned long ago that the only way to deal with bullies like him is too stand up to them, I'm not about to stop now." Chloe said as she started making her way to the front of the ship. "Besides if we're caught I'll tell the teachers the truth, that Otto challenged me and not the other way around."
"If there's no changing your mind than please, let me come with you so I can at the very least act as a lookout." Lance pleaded, she merely nodded and motioned for him to follow her, around 20 minutes later they were at the front of the ship and Otto was waiting for them.
"Well, well, it seems you have had the courage to arrive after all, very admirable of you Ms. Richardson." Otto mocked her before he spotted Lance. "What is he doing here?"
"Look Otto, I don't like you and you don't like me but I think we can agree that the last thing we need is to get in trouble before reaching Duel Academy which is why he's acting as lookout." Chloe answered, Otto stroked his chin before nodding in agreement.
"You bring up an excellent point; I'm surprised I didn't think of it." Otto said activating his duel disc, Chloe did likewise and both duellists drew their opening hands. "I will begin." Otto said drawing a card. "I set two cards face down and summon the mighty Cyber Commander in attack mode." Otto set the two cards down and a heavily armed muscular man appeared on the field, (2/750/700) when Chloe saw the monster's stats she sweatdropped.
"You call that mighty?" Chloe said shaking her head. "Is it my move?" Otto nodded and Chloe drew her card. "I summon Breaker, The Magical Warrior in attack mode!" Chloe played the card and a wizard in red armour appeared on the field carrying a jagged sword and a shield. (4/1600/1000). "And now its effect activates, when he's summoned I can add a spell counter to him raising his attack power by 300." As Chloe said this Breaker's sword started to glow and his attack rose to 1900. "But his attack won't stay at 1900 for long, I activate his other effect: now by removing that spell counter I can destroy one Spell or trap card on the field and I chose the facedown card on the left." Chloe said as Breaker's attack dropped back down to 1600 and it charged driving it's sword into the hologram of the facedown card shattering it.
"Ack, my Mirror Force." Otto growled. "I give her credit for knowing how her monster's effect works but that's where the credit ends." Otto thought.
"And now for the fun part, Breaker attack Cyber Commander." Chloe commanded her monster who charged at Cyber Commander; however the attack was stopped in its tracks by a trio of priestesses. "Let me guess, you other card was Waboku?"
"Yes it was." Otto nodded holding up the Trap Card. "Which keeps my monster and my lifepoints safe."
"Yeah, it will keep you safe for now." Chloe said picking up three cards. "I set three cards facedown and end my turn." The holograms of the three cards appeared on the field and Otto drew his card.
"There you are, we were wondering where you...is that a duel?" Brandon said as he, Theresa, Rajin and Marcus approached them."Chloe what are you thinking?"
"He challenged me, not the other way around." Chloe said as she waited for Otto to make a move.
"And besides Brandon, this duel has only just started; please have the decency to let us have a little fun by not reporting this." Otto said looking at his hand. "I summon Mechanicalchaser in attack mode and switch Cyber Commander to defence mode." Otto switched the position of his weaker monster and Cyber Commander knelt down, next to it a spherical shaped machine with wings and several pairs of arms appeared on the field (4/1850/800) "But that's not all, I activate the spell card Seven Complete, this equip card can only be used on Machine type monsters and it gives them a power boost of 700!"
"Sorry to burst your bubble but I activate my trap card, DNA Surgery!" Chloe activated her card and Otto's machines started to shapeshift.
"So you intend to change my monster's types, big deal all that does is render my spell card useless." Otto said sending Seven Complete to the graveyard. "What exactly are you going to change them too anyway?"
"That's simple; I'm changing them to Spellcasters!" Chloe said and just like that Otto's monsters finished their transformation now clad in robes.
"She does know there are simpler methods of destroying Spell Cards right?" Marcus asked blinking as she did. "Unless one of her other traps requires the presence of a spellcaster on the opponent's side of the field."
"That's just what I was thinking." Theresa nodded in agreement.
"So Theresa, hypothetically, how much trouble would Chloe be in if she was caught?" Lance asked and Theresa sighed.
"They'd probably go easy on her since it's her first offence but that will depend on who catches them." Theresa said. "You'd better hope for her sake that if she does get caught it's by someone other than the Obelisk Blue headmaster."
"So what if you've given it a makeover? My Chaser can still attack! Mechanicalchaser attack Breaker the Magical Warrior!" Mechanicalchaser charged in and Chloe smirked.
"That's just what I was hoping for; I activate my other trap card Magician's Circle!" Chloe activated her card and a large circle appeared in the centre. "This card could only be activated when you attacked my monster with a spellcaster type and thanks to DNA Surgery that's exactly what's happened."
"Clever but I fail to see the point as it's obviously hasn't stopped my attack!" Otto said pointing to Mechanicalchaser which was still charging.
"True but now that you've attacked I can summon one Spellcaster type monster with an attack of 2000 or less." Chloe smirked and Otto took a step back.
"Your bringing out Silent Magician aren't you?" Otto asked.
"Not exactly, my target is Gemini Elf!" Chloe dug through her deck for the card and once she found it she placed it on the field and two identical female elves appeared, one wearing a blue dress and the other wearing a purple dress (4/1900/900). "You'd normally be allowed to summon a spellcaster as well but I don't think you have one in your deck."
"That is true but really, is this lame tactic supposed to scare me? Mechanicalchaser continue your attack on Breaker!" Otto commanded and Chaser did as it was commanded.
"Did you forget about my other trap?" Chloe asked and Otto's eyes widened. "I activate Shift! This allows me to change the target for your attack, take a guess at my choice!"
"Gemini Elf!" Otto realised. "HOLD YOUR FIRE!"
"Too late Otto, you've already declared your attack!" Chloe said, Gemini Elf leapt at Mechanicaasher and fired simultaneous blasts at it causing it to explode.
C: 8000
O: 7950
"Great combos Chloe, keep it up!" Lance shouted from the sidelines whilst keeping an eye out. "I swear Chloe will have to do a lot of grovelling for forgiveness if I get in trouble for this." Lance thought.
"YOU DARE MAKE A FOOL OUT OF ME!" Otto growled. "That does it; I was going to go easy on you but now? THE KID GLOVES ARE OFF!"
"Call me crazy but I think he's overreacting a bit." Lance said. "He didn't even lose a hundred life points!"
"You're crazy." Brandon said before folding his arms. "You are right though, thing is Otto is obsessed with going the entire duel without suffering any damage, and when he does suffer damage, like he did just now...let's just say that I'm hoping for Chloe's sake that they get caught." Brandon said as Otto picked up a card.
"First I get rid of DNA Surgery with Mystical Space Typhoon!" Otto said and a tornado ripped through the hologram of DNA Surgery and Chloe sent it to the graveyard, just like that Cyber Commander returned to its regular form. "Now I set one card facedown and end my turn." The hologram of the facedown card appeared and Chloe drew her card.
"You're in trouble now; I summon Silent Magician Level 4 in attack mode!" Chloe plaid the card and the Magician appeared on the field. "Breaker, attack Cyber Commander." Breaker charged at Cyber Commander.
"Not so fast, I activate Negate Attack!" Otto said and Breaker was bounced back to Chloe's side of the field via an invisible field. "Nice try though." Chloe frowned and set two cards facedown and motioned to Otto to take his turn, when Otto drew his card he grinned even as Silent Magician's attack rose to 1500. "I sacrifice Cyber Commander to summon Machine King in attack mode!" Cyber Commander disappeared and in its place stood Machine King. (6/2200/2000). "And it gains 100 attack points for each Machine on the field, including its self." Otto said as Machine King's attack rose to 2300. "I can't let her Magician get strong enough to destroy Machine King, as a result that will be my target." Otto thought. "MACHINE KING! Destroy Silent Magician Level 4 now!" Machine King raised one of its arms and fired a rocket fist at Silent Magician.
"Sorry Otto but you're not the only duellist with Waboku." Chloe said activating her card, the three priestesses blocked the attack and the fist returned to Machine King.
"Fine, I end my turn." Otto growled as Chloe drew her card.
"I switch Gemini Elf and Breaker to defence mode and activate Swords of Revealing Light!" Chloe's elves and Breaker knelt down and swords rained down on Machine King pinning it down. "That ends my turn." Chloe added and Otto drew his card and whilst Silent Magician's attack rose to 2000 Otto grinned.
"I may not be able to attack but I can now summon my ultimate monster, first I activate Silent Doom to revive Cyber Commander in defence mode." Cyber Commander reappeared on the field in defence mode, as a result Machine King's attack rose to 2400. "And now I sacrifice both monsters to bring out Perfect Machine King!" The two monsters disappeared and a red and white and larger version off Machine King appeared. (8/2700/1500) "Now, like its previous version Perfect Machine King gains strength for each Machine type monster on the field, except this time it's 500." Otto said as Perfect Machine King's attack rose to 3200. "I end my turn but in two turns I unleash my monster upon you." Chloe rolled her eyes and drew her card.
"I activate Level Up!" Chloe said activating the card, the Silent Magician started growing until it was transformed into Silent Magician Level 8 (8/3500/1000).
"Damn it, she was able to bring out her strongest monster." Otto thought with a frown.
"Silent Magician, attack Perfect Machine..." Chloe never got a chance to finish as both duel disks shut off. "What just happened?" Chloe said before realization hit her and Otto. "Oh crap!" Chloe and Otto said simultaneously and Chloe turned around and sure the Ra Yellow headmaster there alongside her headmistress, neither teacher looked happy to say the least.
"Did you two fall asleep when it was said that Duel Disk assisted duels aren't allowed on the ship?" The Ra Yellow said stepping forward. "I want both of you to return to your rooms now."
"But..." Chloe trailed off.
"I'm asking nicely." The Ra Yellow headmaster interrupted her before turning to the Osiris Red Girls Dorm head.
"Chloe, I want you to report to my office at 4:00pm sharp, do I make myself clear?" The Osiris Red headmistress said sternly, Chloe sighed before nodding and walking off.
"So...does that mean I'm off the hook?" Otto gulped.
"Not my place to say, why you don't ask him." The Ra Yellow headmaster said motioning to the previously unnoticed Obelisk Blue headmaster, Otto's eyes widened and the Ra Yellow headmaster turned to Lance, Marcus and Rajin who were trying to sneak away. "Lance, Rajin, Marcus, back to your rooms now." The three boys didn't need to be told twice and ran off.
