A door off to the side opens up as Chazz Princton walks out dusting his hands of some grime as he steps into the spotlight. "Alright now it is time for the Chazz Princeton show where we get to talk about me all the time and even show some of my greatest hits. Show the clip!"
Suddenly a giant screen appears as a video comes up where Chazz has VWXYZ on the field about to attack Winged Kuriboh but Jaden then plays Transcendent Wings evolving Kuriboh into a level 10 monster as he uses his monsters effect to destroy Chazz's monster before the clip ended. "What the hell was that? That was not the clip I set up, and I demand an answer..." as Chazz was ranting a shadowy figure appears behind him and pulls a lever making a trap door open underneath him as Chazz falls thru screaming like Goofy does as the figure reveals itself to be JXA fan with duct tape over his mouth as he rips it off.
"Nice work on the clip Hamm-ram, and thanks Syrus for the save." soon a nervous Syrus comes out looking down the trap door and asks, "Is Chazz gonna be mad about this?" "Oh he should be mad about what I am gonna do to him in the story and not that. Alright folks, Happy Easter and Happy April fools day. Now we are at the point where Jaden and Alexis meet their fiancées for the first time. Will they accept them or not. Now Mike is owned by me while Leo is owned by Hamm-ram. I do not own Yugioh or GX, but I will say that some characters may seem OCC but then again this is set after the series ended. Without further ado, the next chapter of Masquerade.
We find Jaden, Leo, and Mike hanging out in Jaden's room, well two of them are hanging out as Mike is pacing about worried out of his mind. "Damn it what was I thinking lying to Mindy like that, she will dump me when she finds out about it and you both know that girls always find out about these things."
"Mike, you can explain that I needed you here with me for my engagement party. Only I wish it was the woman I wanted on the other end," said Jaden looking sad as Mike and Leo put their hands on both his shoulders to comfort their friend. Soon the door opens as Jaden's mom walks in, "Jaden, it's time to get ready for the party and Mike, Leo, your tuxedos are here as well so get dressed and find a mask to wear." Soon the three boys leave Jaden's room to get ready for tonight as Jaden's mom sighs wishing his father would just let Jaden decide his own life and who he married.
Meanwhile in another part of town we find Mindy and Jasmine helping Alexis get ready by working her makeup as well as her hair. Alexis looks over at her strapless while ball gown with a princess style skirt and a sequin mask that matches her dress. 'I wish I could dress up like that for Jaden but he will never get to see me in something beautiful like that,' thought Alexis with a sigh as Mindy moves away since she is working on Alexis's makeup. "Look I know your sad Lexie, but please stay still so I can finish your makeup and get you in that amazing dress." "I want to wear it, but I also want someone else to see me wearing it and he won't even be there," said Alexis as both girls knew who Alexis was talking about as they hug their friend before putting the finishing touches on her before getting ready themselves and grabbing their own masks before riding off for the party.
Later that night in the ritziest hotel in Domino we find all kinds of well dressed people walking in to a gala affair wearing all different kind of dresses and masks as this was a Masquerade ball, however there seems to be some trouble at the entrance. "WHAT DO YOU MEAN I'M NOT ON THE GUEST LIST? MY NAME IS CHAZZ PRINCETON AND I DEMAND TO BE LET IN!" "I'm sorry sir but your not on the list in fact we were warned not to let you in even if you had an invitation." "WHAT THIS IS AN OUTRAGE AND I DEMAND TO KNOW WHO SAID I COULDN'T COME!(up in a room as she waited to be introduced Alexis sneezed as Atticus handed her a tissue) I WILL GET INTO THIS PARTY ONE WAY OR ANOTHER!" however before Chazz could rant any more he was grabbed by two security guards and thrown away landing on his face in the nearby park. "So much for getting into the party thanks Chazz," said Missy his date since the two ran into each other a few days ago when Chazz over heard Syrus and Zane talking about the party.
Inside we find Syrus and Zane talking with each other discussing tag team strategies for their next tournament. Both were wearing black tuxedos with Syrus having a purple mask while Zane's is silver in color. Meanwhile in another part of the room we find Bastion dancing with Tania after they come back from the Duel Monster realm with Bastion wearing a green mask with his tuxedo as Tania wore a tan dress with a tiger print mask. Jesse was hamming it up with Jim as they were both wearing tuxedos but Jesse wore a rainbow colored mask while Jim wore a reptile patterned mask. Blair was dancing on the floor with Marcel as she wore a pink dress along with a matching mask that made her hair stand out as Marcel wore a tuxedo with a blue mask. Hassleberry was talking military with Axle as Hassleberry had the sleeves ripped off his tuxedo as he wore a camouflage mask while Axle wore a fiery red mask with his tuxedo. Atticus was talking to several ladies hoping to get a date with any of the single girls here as they laugh at a joke he just told wearing a purple mask with his tuxedo.
In another part of the room Mindy was depressed by the snacks having finished Alexis's prep for the party and was told to socialize but she was thinking about wishing Mike was here with her. Mindy was wearing a black dress that had a single strap over her left shoulder as she wore a sky blue mask that made her eyes shine out as her hair was braided behind her back. Jasmine watches as she talks with another man wearing a black mask with his tuxedo but she isn't too into the conversation as she was thinking about Leo while wearing a red dress with a crimson mask over her face. "Hey what is a pretty little thing like you looking sad? Maybe I can help cheer you up," said a male voice that seemed familiar to Mindy as she turned to see Harrington Rosewood wearing a tuxedo with a white mask over his face. "Sorry but I already have a boyfriend and not interested," said Mindy but Harrington didn't seem to take no for an answer as he seemed even more forceful.
Across the way, Mike and Leo were talking when they see Mindy getting hounded by Harrington as Mike wore a grey mask with his tuxedo as his hair was combed back making it seem like fur. Leo was wearing a similar tuxedo but his mask was burnt orange as his hair was in his usual style since Jaden's mom couldn't seem to do much with his mane like hair. "Excuse me man, but I need to save my girl and get my butt chewed out afterwards," said Mike as he walked off forcefully towards Mindy and Harrington as Leo sighed before following hoping to see Jasmine since those two were usually together except when they were on dates.
Just as Jasmine was about to interfere she feels a hand on her shoulder and turns around to see her boyfriend since she would recognize his hair anywhere as her face heats up taking in his well dressed form. "So I figured that the Spa day might be a lie but I am cool with that since it was for Alexis, but I hope Mindy can say the same for Mike when he comes to her rescue," said Leo as he points to Mike walking up to Mindy and Harrington meaning business. Harrington was about to put a hand on Mindy's shoulder but he felt a hand on his own as he is turned around finding a furious Mike looking at him, "She said no, so I think you should take the hint and leave her alone right now."
"I think you should mind your business and leave us alone or maybe you need a ;lesson in humility with a duel," said Harrington as Mike smirked before shrugging off his jacket as Leo throws over a duel disk which Mike puts on and throws his deck inside as Harrington does the same with the two standing a ways away from each other as Mindy looks on shocked that Mike was here coming to her rescue like a knight in shining armor.
"I draw," said Harrington as he looked over his hand before summoning Big Server in attack mode and ending his turn. "I draw," said Mike as he looks over his hand and smiles as he starts his turn, " I play Graceful Charity and draw three cards before discarding two and playing Monster Reborn to bring back the Silver Fang I just discarded before playing Infernal Reckless Summon that lets me summon two more copies of him from my deck." "Yeah but I get two more Big Server's as well," said Harrington as two more of both monsters appeared on both fields.
"Well I sacrifice two of my Silver Fangs for Luna Wolf in attack mode," said Mike as a silver wolf appeared with a crescent shaped mark between his eyes as the monster let's loose a wicked howl that causes shivers to run up and down Harrington's spine as all of it's 3000 attack comes ready to bear down on Harrington. "I play my last card, Hunter's Pack Attack, at the cost of having Luna Wolf attack all your monsters but you get half the damage you normally would." "Ha then I'll still have some life points to finish you off next turn," said Harrington. "Sorry but removing the three Beast type monster from my graveyard I can use Luna Wolf's effect and your monsters lose 500 attack points each meaning this duel ends now." Soon the ghostly forms of two Sliver Fangs along with a third wolf on two legs wearing some leather armor and carrying a shield appear before rushing forward as all three Big Server's attack drop to 300 before Luna Wolf leaps over towards the three monster feasting on them as Harrington's life points drop to 0.
Mindy rushes over to Mike after the duel finishes and pulls him away before Angela and Arnold Rhodes along with Seto Kaiba and his wife Serenity Kaiba join them on stage. Serenity was wearing a blue sequin dress that has a strap over the right shoulder with matching heels on her feel and a powder blue mask in her right hand as the others on stage had their masks removed. Angela was wearing a similar dress to Serenity but hers was red as both husbands move forward on stage. "Thank you everyone for coming out today to celebrate the engagement between my only daughter to Kaiba's only son," said Arnold as a spotlight shined out to a door as Alexis walked in wearing her dress and mask as many started to clap for her while many guys had hearts in their eyes looking at her.
"Now since the bride to be is here, I would like to formally introduce my only son that I have kept out of the media's attention even if there has been some reports about him," said Kaiba as another spot light was focused on a separate set of doors that opened having a hooded male lead in by Joey Wheeler and his wife Mai as they were both dressed for the party with Joey's mask resembling his Red Eyes Black Dragon while Mai's resembled her Harpie's Pet Dragon as she wore a shimmering purple dress that hugged her curves. Soon as the two made it to the stage and removed the hood making everyone gasp as.
And cut, sorry but I feel like leaving it there and next time we will find out just who is the mysterious Kaiba heir really is. PSYCH! April Fools, sorry but I couldn't help myself with this one and don't worry the answer will be reveal soon. Continue please.
"Jaden," whispered Alexis as she was shocked seeing her crush was the man under the hood wearing a mask that was close to his Elemental hero Avian's as she felt her brain shut down as multiple questions were wanting to be answered. "Dad, can I have some time to talk with her before we continue the party," said Jaden as Seto looked over at Alexis and nodded his head letting Jaden lead Alexis away so they could talk.
While this was happening, Mindy was pacing back and forth with Mike looking nervous as he waited for her to speak to him. "Why?" "I'm sorry, what?" "Why are you here? I thought that you had this so called tournament to go to but then Jasmine said Leo asked her out and she lied to him about having a spa day." "Look you have every right to be mad at me but if you want some answers, look inside and I can explain." So Mindy looked inside and gasped as she saw Jaden talking with Seto Kaiba before leading Alexis away by her hand. "Jaden asked for me and Leo to be here since he was engaged to this girl he didn't know. I guess he didn't really need us here since he already knew her, I am sorry that I lied and I hope that you can forgive me..." Mike stopped talking as he was kissed on the lips by Mindy pouring all her feelings into the kiss. "I forgave you when you stepped up to rescue me my brave wolf," said Mindy as they continued kissing out on the balcony.
Inside the room he was kept until the announcement, Jaden let Alexis sit down as he looked her over and felt his face heating up as she looked amazing in her dress while her mask made her hazel eyes stand out even more. "I know you have a ton of answers and the biggest one is Jaden Yuki isn't my real name, well Yuki is my middle name. My full name is Jaden Yuki Kaiba and the reason I went under a fake name was I didn't want to be look at as Kaiba's son since we both can probably figure out how that would have turned out if I did," said Jaden as both would have figured he would have been hounded just for his family name alone. "Okay I can understand that Jaden, but why not tell your friends who you are?" "Well I wasn't sure who to trust, I mean the only ones who knew were Mike and Leo since I met them when we were kids. They both promised to keep my identity a secret no matter what until my parents decided to introduce me to the world. I know this maybe a lot to take in and I can understand if you don't want to ever see me again, I will tell our folks that we are cancelling the..."
Jaden never got to finish as Alexis grabbed him and pulled him into a kiss as she poured all her feelings into it before breaking the kiss as she said, "I have been in love with you for a long time Jaden Yuki Kaiba and just because you Seto's son doesn't change my feelings for you one bit and I will be glad to spend the rest of my life getting to know you if you'll have me as your wife." Jaden was shocked that the woman he loves loved him back and even despite the lie during their time at Duel Academy she was willing to still love him as he smiled and kissed Alexis back which she gladly returned until the door opened and the sound of giggling reached their ears as Mokuba and his wife Rebecca were watching the two. "Glad to see you both are okay, Seto was worried and I wanted to make sure my nephew was still okay," said Mokuba as Rebecca lightly slapped his shoulder, "Now don't tease him too much Mokie, besides we were like that before our wedding too."
So the now four walked back into the party as Jaden and Alexis were surrounded by their friend hounding him for answers except for Mike, Mindy, Leo, and Jasmine since the boys informed their girlfriends about Jaden while he was talking to Alexis in the back. So the rest of the night Jaden and his friends enjoyed the party as they caught up with one another as several couples danced with each other, but everyone's eyes were always on Jaden and Alexis as they happily danced together and got ready for their future together as they planned their wedding.
Okay and this time it is done, I hope you all were surprised that Jaden and Alexis were secretly engaged to one another from the start. Now I realize that having Jaden as Kaiba's son may not be original but this is my own take on this and hope you all liked it. Now all that is left is the epilogue that will have Jaden and Alexis's wedding featured along with more of the original Yugioh crew being there for the happy couple. Now I hope everyone enjoys the rest of their Easter holiday and stay tuned for the last chapter of Masquerade. One last note as I was asked in a review, I don't usually have a schedule for updates as I work 2 jobs at the moment so any free time to write may be sporadic at best. but I try to get something done.
