Hey guys! : )
Got another chapter done! I decided to mix this up a little bit, so please enjoy and review!
Chapter 5 - Sora, the New Apprentice?
Aero slept quitely in his sleeping bag, but he opened his eyes as he heard a thump beside him. Aero smiled, as it was just Yuya falling off his bed. "Nice dream, Yuya?" Yuya looked at Aero and answered, "You could say that". Yuya sat on his bed and picked up the Pendulum Pendant on his bedside table, it swinged a little on each side and Yuya looked at it. 'Being a Champion may have been a dream, but I actually did it... I managed to do a Pendulum Summon!'
Aero looked at Yuya and said, "Yuya? Yuya?" Yuya seemed to be in a trance, but he opened his eyes as he heard Aero call his name. "Huh? Did you say something?" Aero smiled as he asked, "You seem lost in your thoughts, what's on your mind?" Yuya looked at Aero and smiled. "It's just... with this Pendulum Summon, I can become a Champion, just like my Dad". Aero smiled as he put his right hand on Yuya's right shoulder. "You also have your friends, right? We're all here to help you reach that goal".
Yuya nodded as he got up and started to get changed. Seeing this, Aero left the bedroom to give Yuya some privacy. Aero kneeled on the balcony and remembered what happened yesterday. Yuya came out of the bedroom with his usual clothes on and said while scratching the back of his head. "What was with that kid yesterday? He saw us duel and now he wants to be our apprentice?" Aero was about to reply, but a young dog bark interrupted him as he looked to his right, to see a brown and white patched puppy and a older white cat.
"En! Core!" Yuya picked the puppy up with a smile. "I didn't know you had pets". Yuya seemed to ignore that as he said, "Boy, you are getting bigger. You were the size of my palm when Mom found you". The puppy known as En, seemed to bark in response and Yuya smiled at how cute it sounded. "Morning to you too, Core". Yuya looked down at the white cat and it gave a deep meow in response. Yuya put En back down carefully as he heard his Mom downstairs. "Go on darling and eat as much as you want". Yuya went down the pole with Aero going down the stairs. "Mom, have you found another pe-"
But Yuya didn't get to ask his question as he saw a certain someone eating pancakes. "Teacher!" Yuya fell down anime-style and Aero laughed at this, but he tried to keep it quiet as he didn't want Sora to hear him. "What's he doing here?" Yoko placed a pile of pancakes at the centre of the table. "Isn't he adorable? I found him wondering around the house and you know what I get with lost little things!"
Yuya looked at his Mom like she was crazy. "Yeah, little things, but you never bring people!" Aero sat down and grabbed a plate and a couple of pancakes, he started eating them and looked at Sora ocassionly. Once he was done, he put the plate aside and whispered in Yuya's right ear, "I'll see you at You Show later". Yuya nodded and Aero left the house, he breathed a sigh of relief as he was now safe to talk freely. "Thank Chaos, it's safe now guys". Scrap appeared beside him with a smile. "Wasn't expecting that Sora kid to show up?"
Aero shook his head. "No I wasn't. Like I whispered to Yuya, I'm gonna go to You Show for the day..." Aero picked a card from his deck and looked at it with an idea in his mind. "...I'm gonna try out that Field Spell System and use this!" Aero put the card back and walked his way to the Duel School, Scrap floated alongside him as he walked and made conversation. "What was with that Sora kid? Did he seriously follow Yuya all the way back to his house?" Aero shrugged. "Must have done. I thought he would be interested in me, since I was in that duel too... oh well, Yuya is gonna have a hard time with him".
Aero made it to the You Show easily as he found out that the Duel School was actually quite close to Yuya's house. Aero smiled as he looked at the familiar hallways and the duel arena he dueled Yuya in. Aero started to investigate the room where the system controls were held. After seeing the break room, he found another room but it was on a higher floor and it was quite small. It had the System with a couple of keys and a turnable office chair. 'This must be it...' Aero got the card out and had a look at the System to see if there was a way to register the Field Spell he wanted.
'It's gotta be here somewhere...' Aero continued looking, but he heard someone behind him, which made him jump. "What are you doing to the System?" Aero looked and stepped back from the System, luckily Aero had his goggles over his eyes and looked just like he did back when he first dueled Yuya. "Wait, you're that strange duelist who dueled Yuya last time!" Aero looked at the man puzzled, he never seen this man before, but he soon nodded. "What were you doing in here?"
Aero looked down, but he got an idea as he showed the Field Spell, Mobius to the man. The man looked at the card, he had never seen that Field Spell before, but it seemed that the duelist really wanted this Field Spell activated. "You want this Field Spell for a Action Duel?" Aero smiled as the man understood what Aero was trying to say without saying anything. The man went close to the System and explained it to Aero. "If the Field Spell is new, you insert it here in this slot and wait until it says 'Card Registered'".
Aero nodded as he inserted the Mobius card into the slot, a loading bar appeared and once the bar was full, the words, 'Card Registered' appeared, the Mobius card ejected out. Aero smiled as he took the card and clicked 'Activate' to play Mobius as an Action Field, once he clicked 'Activate', Aero ran down to the arena and watched it change. As the changes finished, Aero was standing just outside Tails' Workshop, a place near the Mystic Ruins Station with some green hills and a beautiful sea view.
'This is what I always pictured it...' Aero went close to the workshop door and touched it. 'Beautiful, just like being at home'. Aero noticed a sound effect and looked to see the Action Cards spreading around the field. 'Oh... forgot about those. Let's see what I can find'. As Aero was exploring, the man looked at Aero, confused at what he was doing. "What is he doing? Why isn't he dueling?" Aero smiled as he thought of an idea and a game, using his normal speed he ran and grabbed any Action Card he saw.
"So that's what he's doing, he's practicing out in the field..." With that, Aero had been practicing for hours, since most of the students were at school. He seemed to have gotten the hang of it, but a third of them were Action Traps and he knew that he shouldn't always rely of Action Cards most of the time. As he grabbed the one hundredth Action Card, three of the students came in. It was Tatsuya, Futoshi and Ayu, the youngest three students. "Hey, isn't that the duelist that dueled Yuya?" Aero looked at who asked that and noticed that he wasn't alone.
Sora soon came in and he too looked at Aero, he seemed quite happy to see him. Sora went into the arena and came closer to Aero. "You're that duelist from before! The one with Yuya, let's duel!" Aero looked at Sora like he was saying, 'Why?' Sora looked at him confused and asked, "What's wrong? Can you talk?" Aero continued to stare at Sora. 'He's just asking for a duel... I guess there's no harm in that'. Aero gave a smile and step back to give Sora some space, he activated his duel disk, ready for a duel.
Sora jumped up as he got what he wanted. "Yay! Let's do this! Duel!" Since the Mobius field is still in use, the Action Cards got reseted, both duel disks were activated and they each drew their five cards.
Aero - 4000
Sora - 4000
Aero's Turn
Aero's hand contained Espio, Charmy, Mobian Hero Calling, Eggman Plan 3 and Elemental Hero Mobian Gleam Thief. 'This hand is pretty good, especially the fifth card'. Aero grabbed Charmy and placed him on his duel disk.
Charmy Bee - ATK 100 DEF 700 LV1 Insect / Tuner - EARTH
This card is treated as a Mobian-Type Monster. When this card is Normal or Special Summoned to the field, this card gains 1 Speed Counter. Once per turn, by removing 1 Speed Counter, you can send 1 card from your hand to the Graveyard to draw 1 card.
Aero grabbed another card and summoned it due to its effect.
Elemental Hero Mobian Gleam Thief - ATK 1600 DEF 1200 LV4 Warrior / Effect - DARK
This card is treated as a Mobian-Type Monster. This card can be Special Summoned from your hand if you have a Mobian-Type monster on the field. When this card is Normal or Special Summoned to the field, this card gains 1 Speed Counter. Once per turn, you can remove 1 Speed Counter on this card, if you do, you can Special Summon 1 "Mobian" monster from your hand, Deck or Graveyard that has 1500 ATK or less. This card gains ATK and DEF equal to the total number of "Mobian" monsters x 300 (Not including this card).
Aero grabbed a card and placed it face down, Aero pointed to Sora indicating that it was his turn now.
Sora's Turn
Sora smiled and drew his card, it was the Continuous Spell, Toy Vendor. "I activate the spell, Toy Vendor!" A huge toy vending machine appeared behind Sora.
Toy Vendor - Continuous Spell
Once per turn: You can discard 1 card; draw 1 card and reveal it, then if it is a Level 4 or lower monster,Special Summon it. Otherwise, discard the card you drew. Monsters Special Summoned by this effect are treated as "Toy" monsters.
"With this, I can discard a card from my hand to draw a card. I don't need this". Sora put Fusion Recovery to the graveyard and a coin entered the coin slot of the vendor. "Now if the drawn card is a monster that is level or below, I can special summon it and the card I draw is..." Sora drew his card and said, "...Fluffal Bear!" The arm of the vendor came down and one of the capsules came out and opened up. "I special summon Fluffal Bear!"
Fluffal Bear - ATK 1200 DEF 800 LV3 Fairy / Effect - EARTH
You can Tribute this card, then target 1 "Polymerization" card in your Graveyard; add that target to your hand.
"And I normal summon, Fluffal Leo!" Two adorable looking monsters came onto the field.
Fluffal Leo - ATK 1600 DEF 1200 LV4 Fairy / Effect - EARTH
When this card declares an attack: You can have this card gain 500 ATK.
'These are some weird monsters he's got...' "Battle! Fluffal Leo, attack Charmy!" The Lion monster pounced and was about to destroy Charmy, but Roxas showed a Action Card that he had in his hand. It was the Action Spell, Avoid.
Avoid - Action Spell
Target 1 attacking monster on the field; negate that monster's attack.
The lion's attack was negated and Sora looked shocked and confused. "How did you get that?" Aero wanted to keep his powers a secret, so he just shrugged, thinking it was nothing. "Oh well, Fluffal Bear, attack Charmy!" Aero saw another Action Card and using his super speed, he got it without anyone noticing and showed it to Sora. "Another one? How are you getting these?"
Miracle - Action Spell
Target 1 monster on the field; that monster cannot be destroyed by battle, also halve any battle damage either player takes from attacks involving that monster.
"Aww... then I guess I end my turn. I gotta get an Action Card too!" Sora looked around for Action Cards and Aero smiled at Sora.
Aero's Turn
'Let's finish this quick...' Aero drew the card Power Ring. 'This should protect Charmy for now'. Aero got Espio from his hand and summoned him.
Espio - ATK 1300 DEF 1500 LV3 Reptile / Effect - EARTH
This card is treated as a Mobian-Type Monster. When this card is Normal or Special Summoned to the field, this card gains 1 Speed Counter. Once per turn, if this card is being attacked by an opponent's monster, you can remove 1 Speed Counter on Espio; when you do, banish this card until the end of the Battle Phase.
Aero turned Charmy's monster card to defense position on his duel disk and activated his drawn card, he equipped it to Charmy.
Power Ring - Equip Spell
Equip to any "Mobian" monster. Once per turn, if the monster equipped with this card gets destroyed by battle, it is not destroyed. Send this card to the graveyard once it's attacked.
Aero smiled at the attempt Sora was making at getting an Action Card, he was using his two Fluffal monsters as a ladder to climb the roof of the workshop. Even though Aero was enjoying it, he continued on with his move. He activated his last spell by removing one speed counter from Charmy and Espio.
Mobian Hero Calling - Normal Spell
You must remove 1 Speed Counter for each Mobian-Type monster you control to activate this card's effect. (max 2.). You can add 1 card with "Elemental Hero" in its name to your hand.
A card stuck out of Aero's deck and Aero showed it to Sora, it was the monster, Elemental Hero Mobian Scrap King. Aero immediately special summoned it to the field.
Elemental Hero Mobian Scrap King - ATK 1500 DEF 1000 LV4 Warrior / Effect - WIND
This card is treated as a Mobian-Type Monster. This card can be Special Summoned from your hand if you have a Mobian-Type monster on the field. When this card is Normal or Special Summoned to the field, this card gains 1 Speed Counter. Once per turn, you can remove 1 Speed Counter on this card, if you do, you can Special Summon 1 "Mobian" monster from your hand, Deck or Graveyard that has a WIND Attribute. This card gains ATK and DEF equal to the total number of "Mobian" monsters x 400 (Not including this card).
Aero smiled as he was almost about to win this duel, he struck his arm towards Scrap King and his speed counter was removed. Aero pointed to the last available space and a green coloured hawk appeared.
Jet - ATK 900 DEF 1300 LV3 Winged-Beast / Effect - WIND
This card is treated as a Mobian-Type Monster. When this card is Normal or Special Summoned to the field, this card gains 2 Speed Counters. Once per turn during either player's turn, you can remove 1 Speed Counter to target 1 face-up monster on the field; change that target to face-down Defence Position.
Aero nodded as he pointed to Sora's Fluffals. 'Okay Gleam, you first. Take down that lion!' Gleam nodded and charged at Fluffal Leo, he used his hammer and smacked the Fluffal on the side of its face. 'Scrap, you're next'. Scrap nodded with a smile and attacked Fluffal Bear with his Cosmic Sword. 'Jet, you're next!' Jet used his board and hit Sora on the chest.
Sora - 0
Roxas - 4000
'That was easy'. Sora was on his back from the amount of attacks he had and the Mobius field faded away. 'Now that field spell was worth it, I better go see if Sora is okay...' Aero walked closer to Sora and held his hand out, Sora followed this hand to see his opponent. "Who are you? You were so cool! What's your name?" Aero didn't answer, but someone else answered Sora's questions. "That's Aero, he's been living with me the past few days". Aero looked at who said that, it was Yuya. 'He must have just finished school and it's that girl from before...'
The girl with Yuya which was Yuzu looked at Aero curious, but having enough of the stares, Aero left the arena and decided to join the rest of the students. Once he opened the door, Yuya said, "That was a great duel, Aero!" Aero smiled and gave a thumbs up, everyone stared at him, but Yuzu said, "You're name is Aero? That's a strange name. I'm Yuzu". She held her hand out and Aero gave her a handshake. Sora came in and asked Yuya for a duel which he accepted, Aero smiled at him as a way of saying 'Good luck'.
The duel was pretty similiar to Aero's duel, but with a spectacular Pendulum Summon included in it. The Pendulum Summon was just as beautiful as the previous times and Sora was enjoying every second of it. But something changed in this duel, Sora got a particular monster out that was called Edge Imp Sabres and did a Fusion Summon with that and his Fluffal Bear to make Frightfur Bear.
'Now this is something, a Fusion Summon?' Frightfur Bear had a terrifying effect which was that if it destroyed a monster and sent it to the graveyard, that monster gets equipped to Frightfur Bear and gains its attack. At this point, Odd-Eyes was about to get attacked by Frightfur Bear with the effect of Toy Parade and Yuya tried his best to protect his ace, but it got hit and Odd-Eyes fell into a juice lake. As Yuya saw the last of Odd-Eyes, all he could do was shout its name, cry and cover his eyes with his goggles.
Aero was shocked and was upset to see this, he can't stand the sight of someone this upset. Aero growled, but he let the words out. "Y-YOU MONSTER!" Except for Yuya, who was still upset, everyone looked at Aero and were surprised to hear him talk. Sora looked at Aero surprised and said, "So you can talk?" Aero stepped back as he realised his mistake, he closed his eyes and continued, but a bit quieter. "How could you do that Sora? That was his best monster that encourages him to bring smiles to others!"
Sora didn't say anything as he looked back at his Frightfur monster. "Frightfur Bear, equip onto Odd-Eyes!" Yuya gripped onto his pendant and seems to have cheered up as he started to laugh and put his goggles on top of his head. Yuya then heard a noise from his duel disk, that showed him that a card was in his Extra Deck. Frightfur Bear tried to find Odd-Eyes, but couldn't find it and Yuya explained that Odd-Eyes was in his Extra Deck. Aero was very curious about hearing that. "So Pendulum Monsters go to the Extra Deck when they are destroyed? That's new and so cool!"
As the final move was made, Sora became Yuya's friend and was now not going to call him 'Teacher' all the time. All of the students came into the arena and Aero cleared his throat. "Well, that's my cover blown..." Everyone looked at Aero as he continued. "...I don't talk too much in front of strangers, but now you guys know that I can talk, I'll start over. Name's Aero and I'm a Mobian Hawk". Everyone except Yuya looked at Aero puzzled as Yuzu asked, "A Mobian Hawk?" Aero smiled as he replied, "Yeah, it would take some time to explain... want to hear it?"
So I left it on a cliffhanger, but what do you think? Please review and fav!
