Chapter 5: Fight like a Fake
Jaden walked along the forest path, and turned the corner. After he had been walking for a
while, he spotted, through the trees, the Abandoned Dorm. Jaden looked at it, and could tell it
hadn't changed much from last year. He walked through the gate, and up to the front door. He
pushed it open, since it was already partly ajar, and invited himself inside. He looked around, but
couldn't see anything suspicious. He walked around the corner, into the next room, the Dining
Room, and walked right past it, into a hallway.
"Well, I thought I would find something...," Jaden sighed, in defeat, "...but I can't give up yet!"
Jaden walked through the hallways, and looked inside all the doors on the walls. As he was
checking the doors, he heard a muffled scream. Jaden looked around, and was certain, that it
was coming from the door at the end of the hall. He walked slowly, and grabbed the handle. He
yanked open the door, and found...Kaiba!
Back in the school, Crowler announced the next match: Seto Kaiba vs. Kai Kotan.
"Where's Jaden?" Chumley asked, looking around frantically, "the next match is almost starting!"
"Jaden won't miss the match," Alexis assured him, "Jaden eats, breaths, and lives Dueling...to
miss a match, means hell just froze over!"
"I hope so," Chumley, blandly agreed.
"Kaiba?!" Jaden gasped, sure that he was hallucinating, "...now this makes a little sense!"
After Jaden untied Kaiba, they both stood up.
"So...he really was an imposter?" Jaden snapped, looking ticked off.
"Yeah...," Kaiba scowled, "that dirty freak is using my body, to make me a bad guy!"
"What's he planning to do?" Jaden asked.
"I'll tell you what I'm planning to do!" came a voice, behind them.
The two turned around, and saw the imposter Kaiba, grinning at them.
"Who are you, really?" Jaden asked.
"I don't see the need to introduce myself," the imposter laughed, "but I suppose it's something
entertaining!"
"So, who are you?" Kaiba asked, looking really annoyed, "you have no right to take my identity!"
"My name...," the imposter cackled, as his body shape-shifted, "is Necroma!"
"Necroma?" Jaden repeated, "who the heck is Necroma?"
"I am...," the imposter, sneered, "...one of the leaders, of the Shadow Realms High Five
Masters!"
"The High Five Masters?" Kaiba silently gasped, "I've heard of that group, before! A document of
them, told us, that they were the ones that turned Duel Monsters, into a shadow game!"
"Really?" Jaden asked, "that's kinda strange!...I want to Duel you then! Since I'll be saving Kaiba
here, and play in a great Duel...I can't lose!"
"You want to Duel me?!" Necroma laughed, "I don't think you understand, fully, who we are!"
"Who cares...," Jaden shrugged it off, "I don't want life stories in a Duel, I just want the Duel!"
"Hehe...very well," Necroma, snickered. He waved his hand, and they appeared outside the
Abandoned Dorm. He then waved his hand again, and a duel disk, appeared on his arm, "I should
warn you though, when I win the Duel, I get your soul, in order to awaken our master, who
sleeps!"
"I know all that already," Jaden smirked, getting his Duel disk ready, "this isn't the first time I've
Dueled in a Shadow game!"
"Then, let's get this over with!" Necroma demanded. The two activated their disks, and the
game was on.
"I think I'll kick it off!" Jaden announced, with a smile. He pulled a card from his deck, and began
the match, "Get you game on!"
"I hope you don't screw this up, Jaden!" Kaiba snapped, looking uncertain, that Jaden could win.
"Don'y worry...," Jaden chuckled, "I've battled uglier guys then this, before."
Jaden looked at the cards in his hand, including the one he drew, and pulled 2 out of his hand.
"Make your pitiful move, Jaden...," Necroma laughed, "the shadows, hunger for your soul...haha!"
"Ok, time to throw down!" Jaden announced, ignoring Necroma's intimidating, "I play Elemental
Hero Clayman...in defense mode!"
Clayman hit the field, and took a knee.
Clayman: (Atk:1300/Def:2000)
"I now throw down a face down card, and call it quits for the turn!"
"My move," Necroma said, grabbing a card from his hand, "just to warn you, my monsters are
different from the ones here on earth...they are powered by the energy of the Shadow
Realm...so watch as I play, High Priest Master, in attack mode! And I'm not stopping there...I
activate a spell card, Nightmare Machine!"
"Whoa...what a sweet looking card!" Jaden laughed, upon seeing the card, "what's it do?"
"Ohhh...you'll find out, soon enough," Necroma laughed, as well, "it allows any monster on my
field to double it's attack points, if I get rid of the same amount of points it's raising, from my
own life points!"
"Ugh...," Kaiba groaned, knowing Jaden was in for it.
High Priest Master: (Atk: 1400/Def: 1000)
"Now, watch as he doubles his power, and wipes you out...hahaha!"
Necroma: 2600
High Priest Master: (Atk: 2800/Def: 1000)
"Ohh, boy," Jaden cringed, waiting for the pain.
"Now, attack my Shadow Monster...," Necroma, ordered his Priest, "Shaman Staff Magic!"
High Priest Master: Haghhh!
The Priest thrust it's staff forward, and shot out a large beam of black energy, that went straight
for Clayman. Clayman was struck and was gone.
Jaden: 4000
"I don't see such a great duelist, now!" Necroma cackled.
"You kidding?" Jaden laughed, wiping his face clean of dirt, "I'm just getting warmed up!"
"Then, bring you're "A" game, then!" Necroma bellowed.
"Gladly," Jaden agreed, drawing another card, "here's something that will change the tune of the
game! I summon, Elemental Hero JetStorm!"
JetStorm: (Atk:2000/Def:1200)
Jetstorm looked similar to Wingman, except that he had a jet pack on his back, razor wings, and
big gun in his arms. He took the stage in front of Jaden.
"Nice airplane, you got there," Necroma snickered, "looking to go on a one way trip somewhere?
How about the shadow realm?!"
"Sorry, but the flights been cancelled, on account of me, upgrading this guy to the extreme!"
"Explain!"
"Simple," Jaden offered, "when I activate my face down card, my guy will literally go through the
roof...just watch! Activate...PowerShot!"
"What is Powershot?" Necroma asked, getting annoyed.
"It's something to give my guy a boost," Jaden explained, "since your monster's attack, is 2800, I
needed something to make my guy a contender, too!"
"So, what does it do?" Necroma asked, getting more ticked.
"It let's me boost my guy up the same attack points, as any monster on the field!" Jaden
explained, looking proud of himself.
JetStorm: (Atk:2800/Def:1200)
"Ha! What's so great about that?" Necroma laughed, "he's not strong enough to beast my
Priest!"
"That's where you are wrong!" Jaden smirked, "I forgot to say that the card "Adds" the amount
to the attack, of my monster!"
"Urg...," Necroma grunted.
"So...now I can hit you with my best!" Jaden yelled, as he prepared to attack.
JetStorm: (Atk:4800/Def:1200)
"Arg!" Necroma grunted, looking very annoyed.
"Now...," Jaden began, waving his hand through the air, "JetStorm...attack...with Atomic
Tempest!"
JetStorm flew into the air, and used it's large, metallic wings, to summon a large twister, that hit
and destroyed High Priest Master. Necroma covered his face, as his monster went south.
Necroma: 600
"How's that?!" Jaden laughed, in accomplishment.
"Now so much, I'm afraid...," Necroma, laughed as well, "because you destroyed my High Priest,
his special ability takes affect.
"What special affect?" Jaden asked.
"When he's destroyed in battle, you lose half, of his attack points," Necroma began, only to add
more, "but that's not all...that lose of points to you, is given to me...hahaha!"
Necroma: 2000
Jaden: 2600
"Jaden, you idiot!" Kaiba scolded, "you aren't exactly winning the match for us, you know!"
"Not a problem, Kaiba," Jaden, reassured him, "only a minor setback."
"Right...," Kaiba, sarcastically remarked.
"My move!" Necroma cackled. He drew a card, and summoned a monster, "Dark Castle Forces, in
Defense mode!"
A large group of warriors, took to the field, and protected Necroma.
Dark Castle Forces: (Atk:1000/Def:2500)
"And I'll play two face down cards," Necroma finished, buy placing two cards, on his Duel disk.
"that ends my turn! You're move, Jaden!"
"Fine!" Jaden agreed, drawing a card, "heyyyy...not bad!"
"Hmmm?" Necroma wondered.
"Time to turn this battle around!" Jaden cheered, grabbing two cards from his hand, "I play
monster reborn...to bring back my Jetstorm!"
"What a pitiful move...," Necroma insulted, but Jaden kept smiling.
"I'm not done...," Jaden continued, "...I now play, Polymerization!...and fuse my Jetstorm, with
my Elemental Hero Burstinatrix in my hand...to form...Elemental Hero BlitzBomber!
BlitzBomber: (Atk:2500/Def:1200)
"Hmm...," Kaiba hummed, to himself.
BlitzBomber was one extremely heavy-hitter. He had see-through, tube like arms and legs, with
hot lava pumping through them. His chest, had a large, dome-like sphere, that had hot lava as
well. His head, was very square and burly.
"This guy is deadly, and for good reason!" Jaden cheered, making a fist, "cause he can shake
things up, with one strike!"
"Bring it on!" Necroma taunted.
"You got it!" Jaden agreed.
"The next match, will now commence!" Dr. Crowler, yelled.
"Jaden, still isn't back...," Chumley, told everyone, "I can't find him anywhere!"
"And I don't see Kaiba anywhere, either...," Alexis agreed, "he's not the type to be late."
"BlitzBomber...attack...with Rocket Stampede!" Jaden called out.
Blitzbomber attacked, and went for Necroma's only defense monster.
"I don't know how you plan to win this match up," Necroma wondered, with a big smirk, "both of
our monsters, are equal!"
"Not quite...," Jaden, cheerfully corrected him.
"What do you mean?!" Necroma asked, his smile fading into a frown.
"Well...," Jaden began, a big smile, shooting across his face, "normally, if a monster were to
attack an opposing monster, who had the same points, they would both be destroyed...but
because of Blitzbomber's special ability...he's allowed to stay in the game, if he's attacking an
equal pointed monster."
"No...," Necroma gasped, cringing a bit.
"So, Blitzbomber...," Jaden continued, where he left off, "finish off your attack, and destroy Dark
Castle Forces!"
Blitzbomber continued his attack, and hit Dark Castle Forces.
"Wait, just a minute!" Necroma ordered, waving his hand over the field, "I have a trap to play."
"Oh, man...," Jaden groaned, upset that his awesome plan, was about to be foiled.
"Reveal trap card..." Necroma ordered, "...Phantom release!"
"Huh?" Jaden wondered, completely baffled by the card.
"Stumped, Jaden?" Necroma laughed, "i'm not surprised...this card is very rare, and not a very
common card to come by...allow me to explain! This card allows me to stop your monsters
attack, and destroy it.
Upon thos words, Blitzbomber got knocked back, and was destroyed. Jaden's life points,
remained untouched.
"Next...," Necroma continued, "that monsters attack points, are deduced from your life points."
Jaden: 100
"Jaden!!!" Kaiba growled, knowing that he was that close to losing the match.
"I'm still alive, Kaiba," Jaden assured him, "I not out yet!"
"Make your move," Necroma ordered, with a laugh, "you don't stand a chance of beating me
now!"
"Alright!" Jaden agreed, drawing his next card, "nice!!!...Now, how should I play this?..."
"What's wrong, Jaden?" Necroma, taunted, "can't think of a move to save yourself?"
"Actually, just the opposite," Jaden laughed, "I have a card here, that will ensure this game turns
around!"
"Oh, really?" Necroma laughed, at Jaden's remark, "then let's see your card!"
"Sure..., but of course I have to play it face down for now!...That's all I'm doing for now!"
"Ha!" Necroma laughed, in enjoyment," I doubt that card can stop what I have in store for you!"
"Then, go, and see if I'm not telling the truth!" Jaden challenged.
"Very well!" Necroma cackled, "I will!"
The battle raged on, as the time for Jaden and Kaiba to make it back to the school, and win their
souls, ticked away.
A/N: This tournament is going to end with a bang...and a surprise...so I hope you stay
tuned, this story is just getting warmed up!
