Hey everyone! So, not much is new, other than the storms we keep getting, although they're not that bad when I'm awake. Eh, that and I'm sleepy. (/Yawns, revealing fangs.\) I need a nap… No rest for the weary though. (/Sighs\)

Last time, Illidan found out he'd be in a three way duel with the other two headmasters. After a bit of practice with Marie, he seems to be set to do battle with them. Also, Marie had a dream, or was it? Nothing makes sense from it, so maybe it was a nightmare. Finally, Jaden is Illidan's long lost descendant, explaining a few things. How will the duel go? Will Illidan and Marie tell Jaden the truth? And once more, will Zane ever learn to cook!?

Alright, let's get down to it. Review time!

Ultimate Legendary Master: Lol, not much difference, but it's better. Heh, interesting, lol. But yes, Jaden is Illidan's descendant. Accident you say!? Never!

Metal Overlord 2.0: Eh, I didn't figure you had forgotten me yet. I'm hard to, lol. It's cool about you being busy. Life is that way after all. Good luck with college btw. Yes, the lovely computer of doom! Heh, they're an interesting lineup, that's for sure. Thanks about the Jaden comment. I always did wonder about his family also, so I thought why not say he was a descendant. He has some of their looks, or at least how they would look in mind, so it only made a bit of sense. Thanks about my writing. Yes, it should be fun to see Crowler and Satyr getting their game on with Illidan.

Isis the Sphinx: LOL! Yes, Shadi needs to get with the program and become technological. It's cool about the PM. We'll see about the cameo students, hehe.

pink-kiss-candy: Yes, the mysterious figure. Could be anyone, even me…

x-knight20: Yep, he's their descendant. (/Watches angry Marie smacking you repeatedly without mercy.\) Ouch! That has to hurt. (/Watches as Marie storms away with a your face print engraved into the frying pan.\)

Ok, that's it for me today. I've got lots of work to do, so I'll check out the reviews from today later. Thanks everyone!

Chapter 15

As the day ended, the students became more and more excited about the upcoming duel. Many were curious to see how the duel would go. Some thought that Dr. Crowler would take the duel easily, while others thought that Professor Satyr would win the duel. Very few thought Illidan stood a chance.

Finally, the time for the duel came, causing the students to pack into the stadium. The Chancellor waited at the ring for everyone to enter. Once the crowd was packed in, he prepared to kick things off. Before he could though, a student brought a note to him. Reading it, he sighed, but nodded to the student.

Clearing his throat, the Chancellor said "Good evening students! I hope you're ready for a good show, cause this duel will be one to remember!"

All of the students cheered at the comments as the remainder of the people came to sit in. The few were Marie and Zane, whom had been with Illidan up till a few moments ago.

Taking a seat below Jaden and his friends, Marie looked around the room and smiled. "The place is packed. I hope they're not disappointed when they watch this duel."

Sitting down with his friends, Zane softly smiled.

"Great to see you Zane!" called out Jaden.

Nodding to Jaden, Zane replied "It's good to see you too Jaden."

"Now students," interrupted the Chancellor, "let's bring in the duelists for tonight's event! First, from the Obelisk Blue Dorm, give it up for Headmaster Crowler!"

Most of the Obelisk Blue students cheered, while some booed. Dr. Crowler ignored them though as he walked out with his strange Duel Disk hanging from around his neck. It looked like a large white keyboard hanging on his neck, but it was actually a large Duel Disk. Making it to the ring, he smirked as he stood in place.

"Next, there has been a small change. Unfortunately, Professor Satyr could not make it tonight due to being sick, but he did send in a substitute, whom I'm going to allow. Meet Daisuki Kamen, or better known as Curry Mask!"

The students were baffled as a man wearing a brown paper bag with menacing looking eye holes and a cut open for his mouth and nose appeared. He had a black thin mustache showing in the bag, had an orange cape on his back, and wore an apron that covered a Ra Yellow uniform.

Clearing his throat once more, Chancellor Shepherd said "And finally, our last headmaster. He is new here, so give him a big welcome! Give it up for Professor Illidan Stormrage!"

A majority of the Slifer Red students cheered on their headmaster as he walked out. Marie, along with the others behind her, especially clapped louder for Illidan.

As Illidan made his way to the ring, he saw the one known as Curry Mask, and lightly chuckled. "That is the worst disguise ever. Who does Professor Satyr think he's fooling?"

Looking around, he saw everyone didn't know who it was. Even Marie seemed mystified by the stranger in the brown paper bag. Letting out a small sigh, Illidan only continued on and entered the ring with the others.

With all three competitors in the ring, Chancellor Shepherd once again spoke, saying "The rules to this duel are simple. No competitors may attack on the first turn. Once the first turn for each is over, you may attack whomever you wish. Also, you may help anyone that you wish, that is if you so choose so. As well, each of you will start with 4,000 life points. Finally, the only way to win is to be the last duelist standing."

"The turn ordering is simple. Dr. Crowler shall start, followed by Curry Mask, and finally Professor Stormrage shall finish up order."

Each of the three competitors nodded, and the Chancellor said "Competitors, to your places!"

The three slowly moved to their positions that were marked on the field. The dueling ring was used for tag team duels and singles matches, but three way duels was a first for it. Upon reaching their positions, each pulled their decks out and shuffled them, then reinserted them into their deck slots on their Duel Disks. Each Duel Disk soon activated, with Curry Mask and Illidan's pushing out and firing a small blade arm out to expand for extra slots. The three Duel Disks then lit up, signifying that the duel was soon to start.

Getting off the stage, the Chancellor called out "Begin!"

"Game on!" the three in the ring simultaneously said as they drew five cards from their decks.

Putting his hand up to his card slot, Dr. Crowler caused a motion sensor to activate which pushed one card out from his deck. "I'll kick things off. I hope you're both in for a quick and painful defeat. I'll begin by playing the spell card Ancient Gear Castle!"

A large castle with gears, cannons, and a large rocket in the drawbridge appeared onto the field. As it finally ascended, it let out a small bit of steam from it's sides.

"With this on the field, all of my monsters with 'Ancient Gear' in their name gain 300 more attack points. Plus, each and every time I Normal Summon or Set a monster, this card also receives a Spell Counter. I'll explain the reasoning for this later. For now, it's time I summon my Ancient Gear Soldier (1300 + 300 1600/1300)!"

A machine type monster with gears within it's armor appeared on the field. It's right arm had a gun attached instead of a hand, that appeared to be a rotary machine gun. Most of it's body had dull grey armor, but a few light grey gears stuck out as well.

"To end my turn, I'll place this face down. Let's see what you two have now, shall we." (Crowler 4000, Mask 4000, Illidan 4000)

Drawing his card, Curry Mask said in a thick Spanish accent "Today I'll be serving a hearty plate of defeat to the two of you. To start things off, I'll play the spell card that will have your mouths watering and begging for some of my cooking. I play Curry Pot!"

A large brown pot with a huge soup ladle sticking out of it appeared onto the field beside of the masked main. Small wisps of steam were coming from the pot, and to everyone around, it smelled exactly like curry.

"This handy spell card sends monsters from the Graveyard to the removed from play pile instead, where they become ingredients for my curry. Next, I'll summon a scrumptious monster known as Potatoman (900/800) to the field in defense." A potato monster with arms and legs appeared onto the field and took a kneeling position.

"Finally, I'll put one face down card onto the back burner for later. Let us see if you can cook something up Mr. Stormrage!" (Crowler 4000, Mask 4000, Illidan 4000)

"Wow, that Curry Mask sure has a strange deck." Syrus commented.

Rubbing his stomach, Jaden replied "I wonder if he'd cook us something up after the duel."

Marie stared intently at the masked man, but still had no clue who it was. "I wonder if he could do my cooking at the dorm…" she pondered.

Seeing everyone was still clueless, Illidan's eyes narrowed. "You've got to be kidding me… Come on Marie, even you should be able to guess that this chef in a bag is none other than Satyr!"

Letting out a small anime sigh smoke, Illidan drew his card and smiled, saying "I may not be a chef, but I'm more than willing to hand the two of you a helping heaping pile of defeat! I'll start off with by summoning my Skilled White Magician (1700/1900) in defense."

A mage in white robes and cloak with a white hood and staff appeared onto the field in a crouching position. On his cloak, there were three half spheres: one on each shoulder, with one on his chest.

"Why did Professor Stormrage place that thing in defense mode? It's clearly the strongest monster." Syrus said with a strange look of confusion on his face.

Smirking, Zane chimed in "He's planning his moves out is why Syrus."

Syrus looked to his brother for an answer, but received one from Bastion, whom said "He could have played it in attack mode, but he's thinking about next turn. For now, his mage would have had the upper hand, but not for long. Crowler has a turn next, followed by our masked stranger. Each of them could possibly summon a stronger monster, thus leaving Illidan wide open. See now?"

Seeing now what Bastion was talking about, Syrus nodded while Jaden only looked on.

"He's setting them up, I can feel it." Jaden said a loud.

Chazz simply muttered "Yeah right."

Back on the field, Illidan pulled another card from his hand, saying "Next, I'll play the spell card Magical Blast! Here's how it works: I need at least one Spellcaster type monster on my field to activate it. Since I have one, I now get to deal you two each 200 points of damage for each Spellcaster on the field!"

The spell card glowed brightly as two blasts of red, blue, and purple mixture of energy flashed from it. One struck Crowler, making him squawk, while the other hit the masked man, making him grit his teeth a little.

"By the way, since I played a spell card, my mage's special ability is activated. He now gains one Spell Counter. Each time a spell card is played, he gains another, and can have a max of three. I'll explain what happens when I have all three though." The small sphere on the mage's shoulder began to glow white.

"To wrap things up, I'll place a mystery face down card for you all." (Crowler 3800, Mask 3800, Illidan 4000)

Somewhat irritated, Crowler drew his next card and called out "I summon another Ancient Gear Soldier (1300 + 300 1600/1300) to the field." Another mechanical soldier made up of old metal and gears appeared on the field beside of it's comrade.

"My first Ancient Gear Soldier, make that potato a Swiss potato with Rotary Fire!"

Raising it's gun, the mechanical soldier's gun barrel began to spin rapidly, till finally, a series of shots came pouring out. The shots poured through the small potato creature easily, leaving it filled with holes. Instead of exploding though, the creature was flung into the large pot that was simmering.

Lightly chuckling, Curry Mask said "Why thank you Señor Crowler, cause now you've triggered my trap card! Go Spell Spice Cumin! Thanks to this trap card, when I lost my Potatoman, I get to special summon a new level 4 or lower monster from my hand. I choose to summon my Carrotman (800/900) in defense mode."

An orange carrot monster with a pair of skinny arms and legs appeared onto the field in a kneeling position.

Growling in frustration, Crowler yelled out "Fine, I'll cut that carrot down too! Ancient Gear Soldier, obliterate that carrot!"

Taking aim, the second mechanical soldier fired it's rotary gun, easily sending bullets through the weaker monster. As before, like it's comrade, it fell into the large pot.

"I believe that's enough destruction for now. Go ahead and take your turn you masked fruitcake!" (Crowler 3800, Mask 3800, Illidan 4000)

"Don't insult the chef, or you get no dessert!" called out Curry Mask as he drew his card. Showing the card, he said "I play Pot of Greed, allowing me to draw two new cards!"

Picking up two cards, Curry Mask lightly chuckled, saying "Watch this! I start by summoning my Jerry Beans Man (1750/0)."

A green colored bean with a few lines for a face with pink cheeks appeared onto the field. In one stick hand with a yellow glove was a sword, and in the other was hand with a red glove was a shield. On his back was a blue cape, and his feet consisted of a pink bean like foot and a yellow bean like foot.

"What in the world is that thing!?" Crowler hysterically asked.

"He is Jerry Beans Man, the defender of beans, and conqueror of plants! But he's not alone, cause I'm playing a spell card known as Reasoning! This allows one of you two to guess a monster level. I get to draw from my deck till I find a monster, while all other cards go to the Graveyard. Once I pick one up, that monster is shown to you two. If you're right, it goes to the Graveyard. Guess wrong though, and it is special summoned! So, Señor Stormrage, guess a monster level."

Taking a moment to ponder a level, Illidan soon replied "Level four."

Nodding, Curry Mask drew his first card. "It is Spell Spice Cinnamon, which is of course a spell card. Next card up is my trap, Ultimate Offering. Ah, but this next card is a monster card! I just drew this!"

Flipping the card around to show the others, Illidan saw it was not a level four monster. It was a level three!

"Since my monster is a level three monster, I can now special summon it, so come forth Onionman (1200/1200)!" An onion with small skinny arms and legs appeared onto the field.

"Next, it's time to kick things up a notch! I play the spicy spell card called Spell Spice Red Pepper! Thanks to this card, my onion and bean gain 300 attack points (1200 + 300 1500/1200) (1750 + 300 2050/0)! Also, there is a downside to the two of you. Each of your monsters lose 300 attack points (1600 – 300 1300/1300) (1600 – 300 1300/1300) (1700 – 300 1400/1900)!"

Each of the plant monsters glowed with red flames as their strength increased. The two machine soldiers and the white mage each started losing points as the flames made the mage sneeze and the two machines melt slightly.

"Time to mix it up! Onionman, obliterate that scrap heap with Onion Musk!" With a slow amount of speed, the onion lurched forward and released a blast of onion stench at the mechanical soldier that let out a mechanical moan and finally exploded into pieces. The pieces were suddenly sucked into the large pot on the field, making it bubble a little more.

"Oh yeah, now we're cooking! Jerry Beans Man, get in there and give that soldier some bam!" Rushing forward, the small bean soldier slashed the mechanical soldier in half easily, causing it to spray a series of sparks. A small explosion ensued, blowing pieces of the robot all over, which then flew into the large pot as the other one had. This whole scene caused Crowler to let out a small squeal.

"Moving to the end of this turn, I play the spell card known as Spell Spice Red Cinnamon. This sweet spell card now switches the mode of all monsters. So, my two monsters now switch to defense while your mage takes a stand." Both the bean and onion creatures each took a knee while the white cloaked mage stood up into an attack position.

"To leave you both, I'll place one card face down. Let's see if you can get anything cooking Señor Stormrage." (Crowler 2850, Mask 3800, Illidan 4000)

Drawing his card, Illidan only smirked, saying "It was very kind of you to play all those spell cards last turn, because you helped me up with getting enough Spell Counters on my Skilled White Magician."

Confused, Curry Mask asked "What do you mean? I thought it only gained Spell Counters when you played spell cards!"

Shaking his head, Illidan quickly replied "No, he gains Spell Counters whenever any spell card is played, by anyone. And now…" pointing to his mage, "he has three! So, I now remove all three and sacrifice him to activate his special ability! By doing this, I can special summon a certain monster from my hand, deck, or Graveyard. The monster is currently in my hand, so I now get to special summon him! Farewell Skilled White Magician and hello Buster Blader (2600/2300)!"

The white mage smiled slightly as his three counters dimmed and he vanished, only to be seen placed into the large pot. In his place, a large warrior with purple, silver, and some gold trimmed armor, a purple hood over his head, with red eyes, two small prongs on his head, and a large lance on his back appeared onto the field.

"Next, I summon my Luster Dragon (1900/1600) to help heat things up a bit more!" A sapphire colored dragon with ruby colored eyes, bone like wings, and sharp clawed hands and feet let out a roar as it made it let it's presence be known on the field.

"By the way, since I now have my dragon on the field, Buster Blader's special ability kicks in. For each Dragon type monster on the field or in our Graveyards, he gains 500 attack points (2600 + 500 3100/2300)!"

The purple armored warrior let out a small cry as his body began to glow lightly. Within a moment, his body stopped glowing as his points increased.

Glancing at the field, Illidan noticed Crowler had one face down card, but an empty field otherwise. Looking over at Curry Mask's field, he saw he had two monsters, each in defense, and with relatively low defense points.

Deciding to do the safe thing, Illidan called out "Luster Dragon, attack Crowler directly with Ruby Blast!"

Letting out a small roar, the dragon launched into the air, taking aim at it's target. As it opened it's mouth, ruby energy was seen. With ease, the dragon spat a ruby sphere at Crowler, who only let out a small shrill as he was struck.

As the smoke cleared, Crowler loudly yelled "HOW DARE YOU STRIKE ME!"

Lightly chuckling, Illidan replied "It was easy. You're wide open, so why not attack you."

Fuming, Crowler quickly snapped back "You'll pay for that comment, but in the mean time, your attack allowed me to activate my trap card, Damage Condenser! Thanks to this, when I take damage to my life points, I may discard one card from my hand, and then I can special summon a monster from my deck with the same number of attack points or less than the damage I took! I send my Ancient Gear Beast to the Graveyard, which of course gets removed thanks to that masked buffoons Curry Pot. No matter though, because now I can special summon my Ancient Gear (100/800) to the field!"

A strange machine propped up with two mechanical stilts and a small tire appeared onto the field. It was composed of many gears, with the top of it having a large gear.

Confused, Illidan asked "Why summon that?"

Laughing victoriously, Crowler wagged a finger and saying "It's all part of my plan! You'll see soon enough!"

Not really caring, Illidan turned his attention back to Curry Mask. "He's got two monsters still. I'd better trim them down."

"Buster Blader, slice and dice that Jerry Beans Man with Dragon Lance Slash!" Letting out a small battle cry, the purple armored warrior rushed forward, drawing his large lance from off his back. In a fluent motion, he slashed the bean creature into three pieces, causing the creature to cry out in pain as it was thrown into the large pot.

"I think that's enough damage for one turn." (Crowler 950, Mask 3800, Illidan 4000)
