Buss Stop Duels
Just stepping off the bus was Seto Kaiba wearing his traditional outfit, the one he started wearing at the Battle-City tournament, and was sporting his usual condescending scowl.
Seeing the three high school students, a boy and two girls, and a child, that looked like she should be in grade school, Seto took note of their appearance. The little brat looked like she was cosplaying a witch or something and she was standing next to one of the older girls, who had blue hair, done up in a small pony-tail, and was wearing a yellow sweater over a white long sleeve shirt that helped to accent the fact that she was remarkable well endowed for a teenager but Kaiba quickly dismissed that thought from his mind, being the owner of a successful multimillion dollar company; many women had tried to use their "natural resources" to become wealthy fast.
Turning his attention to the third girl, who was standing a little bit off to the side, he saw that she had silvery-white hair and blood-red eyes that were slighted like a cat's and was wearing a green blazer over a white button-up shirt that had the first two buttons open, and a plaid mini-skirt. She had an air about her that reminded Kaiba of the Pharaoh back before he crossed over to the next life.
And just few feet away from where he was standing was a teenage boy with dark brown hair that was topped with a more golden brown on top and he was wearing a red shirt along with a long black coat that reminded Kaiba of the one Bakura once wore. "Jaden Yuki?" asked the millionaire.
"That's my name. Don't go wearing it out." the former duelist answered as the younger of two Kaiba brothers stepped off of the bus.
"Well, if you don't know who we are then you've been living under a rock since birth." Seto said, giving his idea of an introduction.
"Yeah, you're Seto Kiaba. Duel Monsters champion, owner of the multimillion dollar Kiaba Corporation, and world-class prate." Jaden said matter-of-factly.
"You're quite the sweet talker" Seto said sarcastically before moving to the point of his being there, "You know why I'm here. Pegasus may have tried to pass off some bullshit story about the Sky Dragon of Osiris, the Winged Dragon of Ra, and Blue Eyes choosing you as the one they want to posses their power in this generation. But I don't buy it."
"Yeah! You probably convinced Pegasus to make you copies of those cards so he can start mass production for the Blue Eyes White Dragon and lesser versions of the God Cards." Mokuba piped up.
"Oh, joy. The junior detective is also on the seine." Jaden said in teasing tone which caused the shorter of the Kaiba brothers to become very cross at the boy in the black coat.
"I frankly don't care how you convinced Pegasus to make those cards, but I will not permit some second rate excuse of a duelist to have two of the three Egyptian God Cards and the Blue Eyes." Seto said his disapproval clear in every syllable spoken.
"Jaden Yuki!" Seto exclaimed, "If you have any honor as a duelist, you'll face me right here and now to determine who is truly deserving of such power!"
Jaden was about to polity decline on the grounds of no deck, when he heard Yubel say, "You can use the cards from my deck-"
"And the rest of us would be happy to pitch in!" Mana said piped up cheerily, and unintentionally interrupting
"... And I appreciate it since I lost my advanced forms after my madness left me, but if you and the others help we should be able to make some support cards and such." Yubel said clearly irritated at being interrupted, "So don't use that excuse about having no deck, Jaden, or you really are without honor."
"My honor isn't the problem." Jaden said out loud, "The problem is that I don't have a duel disk."
A white object flew over the Kaiba bothers towards Jaden which he caught on instinct. It was an Academy style duel disk, only unlike the one that Jaden had used for the first three years he had spent at Duel Academy, which had been a solid white color this one had red accents on it. Jaden looked up to the bus to see who had thrown it, and smiled when he saw who it was.
"Et tu, Chazz Princeton?" Jaden said with mock hurt before he shook his head in Defeat as his old friend came down from the buss, "So, did you come all the way from Duel Academy just to deliver this?"
"No, I came so I could kick your ass for leaving without giving me a chance to settle the score between us." the black haired duelist said with his usual attitude, which made all of the ladies want to beat him up.
"Last time I checked, I faced you in several duels and won all of them. That is pretty settled in my opinion." Jaden said, smiling at Chazz reaction to the score.
"No, I beat you in our first match and don't you forget it!" Chazz said angrily.
"Monster Reborn" Jaden said, "The card I had just drawn when we had to end our duel was Monster Reborn."
The Prince of Duel Academy went slack jawed, the proud moment he had believed that he was superior to the boy in front of him was a sham.
Listening to all of this was Seto, who was quickly losing his patience, "Enough! Jaden Yuki, get that duel disk on and face me!"
"Oh! I'm sorry; totally I forgot that you were still there." Jaden said conversationally as he strapped his new duel disk on.
Both Kaiba brothers were shocked into silence and turned as white as ghosts at that.
"Um... Can someone tell us what is going on?" Kurumu asked completely confused.
"Yeah, who is this guy and why does he want to fight Jaden?" Yukari added.
"This is Seto Kaiba, as I said before he's the owner and head of Kaiba Cooperation and prate par excellent." Jaden answered filling in the three yokai on what they need to know, "As for why he wants to Duel me... well you remember the story I told about the dragon card I showed you? He is the reincarnation of the young man that Kis- that the Blue Eyes fell in love with." Jaden said stopping himself from saying Kisara's name out loud. It didn't feel right to say it in front of Seto.
"Ump, I don't believe in magic." Seto said with a scowl in place as he set the metal brief case he carried his duel disk and deck on the buss's bumper.
Jaden's easy going smile changed to a scowl in a second, "Bullshit." he said in a voice that was laced with disappoint, anger, and disgust. "You believe you just refuse to accept it. That is why you locked your copies of the Blue Eyes White Dragon. Now doing something stupid because you're scared or don't know better is alright. Everyone does that at some point or another, but you just couldn't stand implications of what the ancient past being true meant and took it out on your loyal partner." he said as walked up to where Kaiba was standing.
"And how would you know that?" Seto snarled at Jaden.
Jaden walked to the buss and moved Seto's briefcase toward him, "The same way I know the combo to this. This six digit pass-code is the final piece of evidence. You could have picked any random five numbers. But you didn't even have the decency to do that."
"Shut up" Seto growled at the younger duelist.
"Kisara gave her all to you, and loved you with all of her heart. More than happy to be viewed a nothing but a monster if it meant staying at your side. But when you found out the truth, you left her knowing full-well her feelings. And then you when you find out that she's moving on you come running to take her back." Jaden said as he input the numbers 5, 4, 7, 2, 7, and 2 and pressed Enter.
The briefcase let out small "click" as it opened, and Jaden walked back to the trio of yokai. Jaden held out his hand and channeled the power of darkness so he could let his friends give him a new deck which appeared as a black rectangle until the darkness subsided and revealed the 40 Duel Monster Cards.
"To quote an older catch phrase..." Jaden said as he put his deck in his disk and Kaiba did the same.
"It's time to duel!"

Round 1 stats
Seto: LP - 4000; Field - empty; S/T card zone - empty; Hand - 5
Jaden: LP - 4000; Field - empty; S/T card zone - empty; Hand - 5
"I'll make the first move." Kaiba said drawing a card to begin his turn.
"Funny, I would think that proper manners would have the challenged go first." Fangs said. The unsealed vampire didn't care about what Seto did, she wanted to see her Jaden in action He was incredible in the fight against those fan-boys and... 'Wait a minute when did he become my Jaden?' she thought to her to her self
"He is. Duel monster spirits are incredibly forgiving and so doing something bad enough to get one to leave you to take on a new master is obviously unforgivable by any standard, but Seto still thinks that the Blue Eyes is going to answer to him? What a joke." Chazz told the sliver haired girl, before he noticed that the lady he was talking to was a total babe. "Whoa!"
"I summon Saggi the Dark Clown to the field in attack mode and I set a card face down." Seto said ignoring the live commentary, "That's all for now."
"My move I draw." Jaden said, and looked at the card he had just drawn and smiled, "I hope you're not counting on me to fall for that old Crush Card trick. I summon Winged Kuibohto the flied in Defense (DEF500) mode and I'll finish up by throwing down these two face downs."
Round 2 stats
Seto - 4000; Field - Saggi the Dark Clown (ATK: 600 DEF: 1500); S/T card zone - 1 facedown card; Hand - 4
Jaden: LP - 4000; Field - Winged Kuriboh (ATK: 500 DEF: 500); S/T card zone - 2 facedown cards; Hand - 3
'Okay, admittedly that was a fairly weak opening on my end. But I can win against someone like him in my sleep.' Kaiba's face remained completely impassive as he drew his next card,
"My move, I'll summon my Spear Dragon to the field in attack mode (ATK:1900)."
The blue dragon appeared next to the dark clown and then Kaiba give the order to attack, "Spear Dragon attack his Winged Rat now!"
"Not so fast! I activate my face-down Negate Attack card!" Jaden said reviling his face down, "It negates your monsters attack and ends the battle phase this turn."
"Big deal. You've just bought yourself a little more that's all." Seto was unimpressed, he had heard about the adventures that this kid supposedly had and was expecting something more, "Because, I attacked with Spear Dragon it automatically switches to Defense (DEF: 0) and now I switch Saggi to Defense mode (DEF: 1500), set a cardface down and end my turn."
"Chazz, I really wouldn't recommend trying to hit on those girls. Girls, Chazz is just an idiot please don't kill him." Jaden called out to his friends, the ladies present looking one comment away from changing and killing Chazz. Turning back to the duel Jaden drew his card saw card that he had never seen before... where did it come from?
"From me," the voice of Inferno Wing said, "I wanted to be useful to you, but the way wasn't capable of being summoned without that traitor Avian. So, I remade myself with some help from the others. I hope it pleases you my lord." And then as abruptly as she had spoken Inferno Wing became quite again.
"Alright, I activate the spell card A Renegade Fire." Jaden said, the picture on the card showed Burstinatrix from the side holding a blue fireball in front of her with an eager looking smile, "It works by sending one Elemental Hero Burstinatrix from my hand, deck, or field to the graveyard and paying one thousand life points to summon Evil Hero: Inferno Wing(ATK 2100)."
Inferno Wing looked pretty much the same expect that now her hands and legs normal except for the claw like nails, her hair was swept back and every hair was void of its old green color had been replaced by a deep blue, and her wings had become the wings of a crow set ablaze with blue flames.
Chazz went wide eyed at the hearing the monster's name. "Evil Hero; Inferno Wing, wasn't she one of Haou's cards?"
Now Seto was beginning to get interested, "You gave up life points and a card to summon that? It must be really something."
"Oh, something it is." Jaden said, "And now I'll show just what she is, Inferno Wing attack Spear Dragon with Incinerating Flames now!"
Smiling in a way that said "I love job", Inferno Wing shot across field trailing blue flames from her wings toward her target.
"I revile my face down Sakuretsu Armor trap card!" Seto commanded only for it to be destroyed when the trap tried to activate.
"Sorry, for the first turn after being summoned Inferno Wing can't be destroyed by other card effects." Jaden explained as his monster charged Seto's dragon, "And when it fights a monster in Defense position with few Defense points and its attack points you take the difference as damage. She's also going to take a chunk out of your life points equal to your monsters attack or Defense points whichever one is higher. Now for those of who haven't be keeping track 2100, because the battle, plus another 1900 adds up to 4000"
And that is when the winged woman launched stream of hellish blue flames straight at Kaiba's monster and Kaiba at the same time, but after the smoke Seto was crouched down but instead of his life points being zero it was still at 4000 and his dragon was still there.
"What the hell?!" Chazz yelled.
"Don't tell me. Face down card, right?" Jaden said tiredly.
"That's right, Waboku. It protects my monsters from being destroyed and me from taking battle damage. I activated it when you attacked my Spear Dragon." Seto said, expertly masking his anxiety, 'what the hell is up with this kid?! It's only his second turn and he summoned monster capable of wiping me out! There just might be some truth to the stories I've been hearing after all.'
"Alright then," Jaden "I'll end my turn with a face down."
Round 3 stats
Seto - 4000; Field - Saggi the Dark Clown (ATK: 600 DEF: 1500) - Spear Dragon (ATK: 1900 DEF: 0); S/T card zone - 1 facedown card; Hand - 3
Jaden: LP - 3000; Field - Winged Kuriboh (ATK: 500 DEF: 500) – Evil HERO Inferno Wing (ATK: 2100 DEF 1200); S/T card zone - 2 facedown cards; Hand - 2
"My move!" Seto drew his card, "I play Pot of Greed it lets me draw two new cards."
"Come on Seto kick his butt!" Mokuba cheered his brother on.
"Be quite Mokuba." Seto said silencing his brother before turning this attention back to Jaden "This has gone on long enough runt."
"Could you please skip the speech and just summon Blue Eyes?" Jaden asked, causing Seto to gain a very unusual eye twitch.
"Fine I play Polymerization merge the three Blue Eyes White Dragon in my hand to summon my Blue Eyes Ultimate Dragon (ATK: 4500)!" Seto bellowed, summoning his ultimate card which roared its thunderous roar.
"Now, attack Jaden's Inferno Wing, my Blue Eyes Ultimate Dragon." Seto commanded.
Jaden looked up at the gigantic three headed dragon as it prepared its deadly attack and smiled, "Ya know I'm starting to remember... how to enjoy dueling. I activate Defense Draw. I draw one card and any damage I take would have taken is reduced to zero."
The dragon let loose a bright stream of energy that tore though Inferno Wing and would have taken a chunk out Jaden's life points if it hadn't been for the effect of Defense Draw which shielded him from taking damage and let him draw a card. He smiled when he saw who it was. "What kept you?" he asked mentally.
"Traffic was deplorable," she said as two purple arms snaked around his neck, "So, how do you plan to cook his guy's goose?"
One could actually hear the smirk on Yubel's face... and Chazz's scream from Australia when he saw fiend's spirit next to Jaden. He wanted to yell, "YUBEL!? WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON!?", but the words caught in his throat and all he could do was stare.
Jaden ignored what Chazz would later insist was a manly shout of surprise and answered Yubel with all the seriousness that he could muster, "The Blue Eyes Ultimate Dragon is a real big goose to cook so I'll start by rubbing it with some fresh herbs and spices and roasting it over a low heat for several hours. Then I'll slice it up and serve it up with a crisp arugula, a spinach salad, and a tasty rice peel-off."
"That is not what you meant and you know it." Yubel said irritated at her partner.
Seto glared at his young opponent, "You know I've dueled against many people but you are Definitely the most annoying, tied only with Pegasus. Saggi attack his Winged Kuriboh now!"
After the dark clown had destroyed Jaden's last monster Seto began to smirk. He had this thing won. "I set one card face down, Yuki this will be your last turn."
"If that is the case no one is going to get any of my awards winning roasted duck." Jaden said jokingly.
"Wait, I thought you were making goose." Yubel said somewhat confused.
'Although, with all seriousness, I don't have any clue how I'm going to win this.' Jaden thought to himself, 'I may have Yubel's card in my hand now but I don't have anything I can tribute for her and... I guess I'll just have to draw and hope for the best.'
"My move. I draw." Jaden said as he began his turn, "I play my own Pot of Greed card."
'Come on give me what I need.' Jaden thought as he drew what could be his last two cards. And was instantly thrilled by one of his new cards and confused by the other, 'Soul Exchange, I can use that to sacrifice Seto's monsters in instead of scrambling to get mine out... but what is this?'
"Another gift from me and Filia." said the smooth voice of Ciel, who joined Yubel by holding Jaden's left side in her human form, "We figured that Yubel could use some help."
"I could have managed on my-own." Yubel said medially miffed about the insinuation she needed help, "But it will come in handy."
"Yeah, but that is Kisara up there." Jaden said communicating with his duel spirit friends with his link to them, "I don't know if I can..."
"Do it." Kisara said as she appeared and took hold of Jaden's right flank, "That thing up there isn't me. Destroy it and put an end to my ties to Seto once and for all."
"Okay, but first could all three do something for me?" Jaden asked.
"What?" Ciel asked, eager to help.
"Let go of me. It's getting crowded around here." Jaden requested.
After Kisara and Ciel had left Jaden turned his attention back to the duel on hand. "I play Soul Exchange, it lets me sacrifice your Saggi and Spear Dragon, so I can summon Yubel to the field."
The energy from Seto's monsters pooled into a red malevolent looking energy that came to form the shape of a woman with wings and then with a flash, the red was gone and there stood Yubel in her full majesty.
"Show off." Jaden halfheartedly rebuked, "Anyway, I now equip her with Scythe of Nightmares."
The scythe had curved handle made of blackened wood and the blade was a battle chipped four foot long piece of curved metal with a serrated section of that spanned half a foot on the underside of the blade where it attached to the staff. When it was in Yubel's hands that changed, a dark miasma started to rise like black smoke from the blade and the handle now had the words "Quibus hoc volunt potestatem mittere falcem dabitur umbra in solem, si iuxta se vivere." along its side written in glowing red following characters.
"I can only equip Scythe of Nightmares to Yubel and when I do two things happen. First, it cancels the need to tribute a monster at the end-phase to keep her on the field. Secondly, if I tribute a monster the next Yubel attacks a monster while equipped with the scythe the monster will destroyed." Jaden explained his cards effect, "Now Yubel attack Blue Eyes Ultimate Dragon with Darkness Reaper Soul Stealer."
Yubel's scythe started to emit clouds of the black miasma and the words written on its side were glowing like they were white-hot as Yubel rushed toward the three headed dragon on Seto's side of the field and swung her new weapon in a around wide arc.
"I activate the trap-card Mirror Force!" Seto countered.
"I don't think so! I activate Seven Tools of the Bandit! It negates your trap and destroys it at the cost of 1000 Life-points." Jaden said as his life points dropped to 2000, "That means that Yubel is safe and the attack will continue."
Yubel slashed down at the dragon in a circular arc, the miasma creating whirlwind of black smoke and landed a few feet away from Seto. At first nothing happened and all the spectators (minus Fangs who could actually see the attack) in the crowd wondered if the attack had failed until the dragon exploded into shredded pieces. ''
"And I case you didn't know, all battle damage from battles that was in is Yubel is dealt to you instead of me." Jaden said which Yubel took as her queue and stabbed Seto in the gut with the blade of her weapon.
Seto could actually feel the blade pierce his skin and organs and couldn't hold back his cry of pain as his Life-points dropped from 4000 to zero.
"Game Over." Moka said.
Okay just so you know yes, I am aware that Yubel's effect on the real card only works when your opponent's monster attacks, but I am actually a Yubel fan and want her to be at full awesomeness in this story so she gets her anime effect except for summoning advanced forms… for now. And, Scythe of Nightmares? Never a real card, so don't bother looking for it. Yubel is a card with no support cards except in fan-fiction (Any card that may or has come out since the posting of this chapter is not counted in this statement). If you were wondering the words on the scythe is Latin and translates to "And when they are in the sickle, it shall be given power to cast a shadow on the sun, which they seek to, if next to each other to live."
