Author Note:
Sorry this chapter took so long because I have learned that duel takes careful planning and someone stole my flash drive so I had to retype this chapter out. Also this is the longest chapter of this story so far. Plus you will see a lot more cards that are in Jaden's deck. This is a good chapter and I loved writing it. Also thank you to everyone who has written a review; put it under their favorite and put it under story alerts. I do read every review and try to do my best in fulfilling what they say. The last thing I have to say before this chapter begins is read, review and enjoy.
Chapter 5
Jaden's True Test
The Deck's True Power
The next morning Jaden and Alexis wake up, Alexis kisses Jaden on the lips and after the kiss she says, "Good Morning Jay."
"Morning Lexi, I have an idea." Jaden said.
"Let me hear it." Alexis said.
"If there was a way where we could have Duel Academy make a place for us to live together, would you like that? Jaden questioned.
"Jay, if you could make that happen I would be the happiest girl in the world." Alexis said with a big smile on her face.
"I am also wondering how you acquired that deck." Alexis asks.
"Lexi, you are my fiancée and my love. I would be more than happy to tell you the tale. Do you remember when I told you about the Dark Magician Girl?" Jaden asks.
"Sure I do, that was right before your duel against Chazz." Alexis said.
"The Dark Magician Girl I was talking about was the spirit of the actual Dark Magician Girl. On 'Duel Monster's Spirit Day' my duel against her was a test to see if I could handle that deck you saw me use. I passed it by beating her and that night she modified a deck I had in my back pocket to include some extremely powerful cards." Jaden explains.
"Just how powerful?" Alexis asks.
"Not sure, haven't checked the deck yet and during that last duel I felt a spirit helping me in the duel by giving me information about my deck." Jaden said.
"Too weird. How about after breakfast we meet by the beach and look over the deck?" Alexis suggests.
"It's a date; let's meet there in about thirty minutes." Jaden said.
They walk over to the door, share a short kiss and then run off to their respective dorm. When Jaden enters the cafeteria of his dorm he sits down next to Syrus and Syrus said, "Where were you last night?"
"Alexis and I spent the night together." Jaden said quietly with a smile on his face.
"You could have been caught." Syrus said.
"But we didn't." Jaden said.
After finishing breakfast Jaden gets up and starts to leave. Then he hears Professor Marcus, the new Slifer Red professor say, "Jaden?"
"Yes?" Jaden asks, after he stops and turns around.
"Chancellor Sheppard wants to see you in his office." Marcus said.
"Looks like he did get in trouble," Syrus said quietly.
"Oh great, now what?" Jaden asks.
He leaves the cafeteria and walks towards the main Duel Academy building. Halfway there he runs into Alexis who is surprised to see Jaden. She asks, "Did our beach plans get cancelled, Jay?"
"Yeah, because my professor said I need to go see Sheppard." Jaden replied.
"I wonder why." Alexis said.
"Don't know, Professor Marcus didn't tell me." Jaden said.
"We support each other so I am coming to." Alexis says as she grabs onto Jaden's hand, causing him to smile.
They walk over to the school and enter. Then they walk over to Chancellor Sheppard's office. When they get there Jaden says, "Lexi, I want to go in alone."
"I understand, and I will be out here waiting for you." Alexis said.
Jaden smiles at her and then walks into Chancellor Sheppard's office. He is surprised to see a girl standing next to Sheppard. Jaden walk up to his deck and Sheppard says, "Hello Jaden, this is Nora Crawford, Pegasus's daughter."
"Okay, why is she here?" Jaden asks.
"She is here to test you because Kaiba and Pegasus believe the new deck you have is way too powerful, and since you have never used it before they are wondering how you acquired it. Also they are questioning if you are worthy of your number one rank." Sheppard explains.
"I thought my duel against Zane proved that I was the number one duelist." Jaden said.
"If you still used your elemental hero's deck then yes, but since this new, more powerful deck appeared out of nowhere then I guess you better earn it again." Sheppard said.
"I could tell you how I got it." Jaden said.
"Not interested and I don't want to hear your lies." Sheppard said.
"I will figure out a way to tell you." Jaden said.
"Fine, but this duel also has conditions. If you win, Kaiba is giving you one rule-free request, but if you lose, you will lose your number one rank and your new deck." Sheppard said.
"That's just great, and to test me they send a girl! Are Kaiba and Pegasus too chicken to face me?!" Jaden said, his anger clearly surfacing.
"Hey, I have won a lot of tournaments, so if you think I'm an easy win, think again!" Nora shouted back.
"Hope you can back that up! Where and what time is the duel?!" Jaden replies back.
"The duel will be in the main arena in 30 minutes." Sheppard said.
"Okay, and Nora, don't chicken out!" Jaden said, still extremely mad as he turns around and walks towards the door.
"Outside of Sheppard's office Alexis is surprised to see the doors fly open and even more surprised to see Jaden storm out of them. She catches up to him, gets in front of him and says, "What's wrong, Jay?"
All the sudden an announcement came on that said, "Will everyone please report to the main arena for a very special duel."
"I am in that duel." Jaden said very calmly to Alexis because he didn't want to yell at her.
"But I thought you loved to duel." Alexis said.
"I do, but Kaiba and Pegasus are wondering how I acquired suck a powerful deck and Kaiba thinks I have to earn my number one rank back," Jaden said trying to calm down.
"What, I thought your duel against Zane proved that fact?!" Alexis said.
"Guess not, because I used my elemental hero's deck against Zane and I just started using this secret deck." Jaden said.
Alexis sees that Jaden is still a little mad so she pushes him up against the wall and kisses him. The kiss calms Jaden down, so he returns the kiss back to Alexis causing her to moan. The kiss lasts for about five minutes and then they part.
"Thanks, I needed that." Jaden said.
"Hey what are fiancées for? I was wondering, is anything good coming out of this duel?" Alexis asks.
"Yeah, if I win I get one rule-free request." Jaden said.
"Alright, so you better win." Alexis said.
"Oh trust me I will and even though you did calm me down, I am still mad. Don't worry; my anger will be let out on the duelist I am facing." Jaden said.
They walk over to the arena and when they get there Alexis said, "Jay?"
"Yes?" Jaden said, as he turns towards her.
She kisses him and during the kiss, to her surprise Jaden moves his hands down her back, sending chills down her spin and his hands stop at her butt. Then he squeezes it and this causes Alexis to moan a little. After the kiss ended Alexis said, "That was supposed to be for luck but I wasn't expecting that."
"You got me so I decided to get you." Jaden said and then he gave her a peck on the cheek.
Alexis smiles and then walks into the arena. She goes up the stair and to find the group. She finds them and sits next to her brother, Atticus. Atticus looks at her and says, "You okay, sis?"
"I'm worried about today's special match. Jaden got in a fight earlier with the person he is facing." Alexis said.
"I don't think I have ever seen Jaden angry." Zane said.
"Trust me, he is mad. He came barging out of Chancellor Sheppard's office extremely mad, and the only way I could calm him down was to kiss him." Alexis said.
"So what I he so mad about?" Atticus asks.
"If his loses today's match, he will lose his number one rank." Alexis said.
"That is stupid; my duel against him was more than enough proof." Zane said.
"Since he is using this new deck and it is so powerful, Kaiba believes that it is a cheap way of winning." Alexis said.
Then Jaden walks in and get up on the stage. Syrus said, "Oh wow, I have never seen Jaden that serious."
"I know, and that is what worries me." Alexis said.
Nora then walks in and steps onto the arena. A microphone comes down from the ceiling by where Chancellor Sheppard is sitting. He grabs hold of it and says, "This match will be Nora Crawford vs. Jaden Yuki. It will be an 8000 life point match and if Jaden loses he loses his number one rank. If he wins he gets one rule-free request."
"Oh wow, I could be the new number one duelist." Chazz said up in the grandstands.
"Chazz, if you want to see tomorrow, you better shut up." Alexis said.
"Got it." Chazz said.
'Wow, if Jaden is as mad as Alexis this will be an interesting duel.' Atticus thought.
Back on the arena floor Jaden and Nora said, "Duel."
Then, Jaden is covered with the armor from the first duel.
"Like I said, this armor comes on every time I use this deck." Jaden said.
"I see and I was just about to ask a question about it; plus how about you go first." Nora said.
"Sure, time for me to get my game on!" Jaden said as he draws a card.
'No way, a Sacred Beast Card, how did I get this.' Jaden thought as he looked at his hand.
All of a sudden the spirit of the Dark Magician Girl appeared next to him and said, "I told your deck was improved and the Sacred Beast cards are the only cards that are not affected by the color change."
"Alright, first I summon Divine Dragon Ragnarok to the field in attack mode," Jaden said and a large dark blue, Chinese-type dragon appears on the field. It has 1500 attack points and 1000 defense points.
"I have seen this monster before, and I remember it being light blue. Why is it dark blue?" Nora asks.
"Some of the cards in my deck change color when they come out on the field." Jaden explains.
"I see and anything else?" Nora asks.
"Oh yeah, I place these three trap cards face down." Jaden said as three white rectangles appear on the field.
"I wonder if Jaden has a Sacred Beast card." Syrus said up in the grandstands.
"He might, because the last person that also said those words was Kagemaru." Atticus said.
"I sacrifice my three face-down trap cards to summon a Sacred Beast, Uria, Lord of Searing Flames." Jaden said.
The three trap cards go face-up, get engulfed in fire, shoot up into the air and crash behind Jaden. This causes a big pillar of fire to shoot up into the air. Out of this fire a big, long, red serpent appears and it makes a loud roar.
"Uria is unaffected by the color change and its attack and defense are 1000 time the number of trap cards that are in my graveyard; I have three trap cards in my grave right now." Jaden said as everyone was shocked to see a Sacred Beast.
Uria's attack and defense are now 3000.
"How did Jaden get one of our Sacred Beast cards out of the underground vault?" Sheppard asks up in the grandstands.
"I don't know but we are doomed because those cards suck the spirits out of cards." Crowler said who was sitting next to Sheppard.
"Actually the Sacred Beast realizes that I would use them the right way so they no longer suck the spirits out of cards." Jaden said back on the arena floor. (These line came from an idea I read in a story buy an author named Rubius; another writer on fanfiction.)
"Oh, that is too cool." Alexis said, up in the grandstands.
"I wonder if he has the other too." Syrus said.
"We will have to wait and see." Atticus said.
"And with that, I end my turn." Jaden said back on the arena floor.
"I pay 1000 life points to activate a personal favorite of mine, Toon World." Nora said after she draws a card.
Nora life points go down to 7000 and the green book appears on the field. It opens and a Toon-type city is shown. Nora says, "Next I activate the spell card known as Toon Table of Contents and this cards allows me to add 1 card from my deck to my hand that includes "Toon" in its name."
"I choose the Blue-Eyes Toon Dragon." Nora said after she found the card, and she adds it to her hand. Then she shuffles her deck and puts it back in her duel disk.
"This next card I am activating, you will win if you win this duel. I activate spell card known as Cost Down and after I discard 1 card from my hand, I can downgrade all Monster Cards in my hand by 2 levels until the End Phase of my turn." Nora said.
So I send this card to the graveyard and summon Toon Dark Magician Girl." Nora said as the Toon World books flips a couple pages and then releases a puff of smoke. When the smoke dies down a Toon Version of the Dark Magician Girl appears. It has 2000 attack points and 1700 defense points.
The Dark Magician Girl spirit appears next to Jaden again and says, "Interesting, but wait till they see me."
"So true, and don't worry, you are coming out soon." Jaden said.
"Who are you talking to?" Nora said.
"No one you know." Jaden said.
"I see, and with that I end my turn." Nora said.
"My turn and draw." Jaden said as he draws a card.
"Time to surprise everyone even more with this card; I activate the field spell known as Fallen Paradise, which once per turn allows me to draw two additional cards from my deck." Jaden said, as he puts the field spell card in the slot it goes in. Then the field turns into a wasteland with rock formations surrounding the field.
"Unbelievable, Jaden has another one of Kagemaru's cards." Chancellor Sheppard said up in the grandstands.
"Next I sacrifice Divine Dragon Ragnarok to summon Dark Magician Girl." Jaden said as Divine Dragon Ragnarok disappears. Dark Magician Girl appears, but she is wearing red and black clothes and has bright yellow hair. Her staff is black, yellow are red. Her attack points are 2000 and her defense points are 1700.
"No way, Jaden has the Dark Magician Girl." Syrus said up in the grandstands.
"But I am different from the original Dark Magician Girl as you can see, I can talk." The Dark Magician Girl said back on the arena floor; causing everyone except Jaden's mouth to drop open in shock.
"You talk, but why?" Chancellor Sheppard said up in the grandstands.
"Remember on 'Duel Monster Spirit Day' when the Dark Magician Girl had a duel against Jaden? The person he went up against is the actual spirit of the Dark Magician Girl. It was actually a test and since Jaden won, he passed. I changed a deck that he kept in his back pocket to include most of the cars you have been seeing. I have also talked to Kagemaru because he can see spirit too, and he said that it is okay that Jaden has the Sacred Beasts and Fallen Paradise." The Dark Magician Girl said back on the floor.
"Oh, I see then. Jaden, I will let Kaiba and Pegasus know, but trust me, Kaiba will keep a close watch on you. So you are acquitted on all charges and this duel will just be concerted as a special duel. Even if you lose it, you will not lose your number one rank, but the win conditions are still on." Chancellor Sheppard said up in the grandstands.
"Cool, but I haven't forgotten about the fight earlier, so I am still mad and I will prove it. Uria attack the Toon Dark Magician Girl with Hyper Blaze." Jaden said as Uria opens it mouth and a ball of fire appears. Then it launches a stream of fire at the Toon Dark Magician Girl vaporizing it. Nora's life points go down to 6000.
"Not done yet; now Dark Magician Girl will attack directly with Dark Burning Attack." Jaden said and the Dark Magician Girl's staff charges up, revealing a ball of purple energy that launches the ball of energy at Nora, reducing her life points down to 4000.
"With that I end my turn." Jaden said.
"Man you are not letting up." Nora said, as she draws a card.
"I place one card face-down." Nora said as a white rectangle appears on the field.
"Next I summon Toon Goblin Attack Force to the field in attack mode." Nora said, as the Toon World book flips a couple pages and then releases a puff of smoke. When the smoke dies down four Toon Goblins with giant black clubs are standing on the field. They are all considered one monster and it has 2300 attack points and zero defense points.
"My turn, and due to Fallen Paradise I can draw two more cards." Jaden said after he drew the card and draws two more.
"I place this card face-down" Jaden said, as a white rectangle appears on the field.
"Now I can trigger my face-down and it is a Trap card called Call of the Haunted. It lets me bring a monster back in attack mode from my graveyard, and I choose Toon Dark Magician Girl." Nora said as the card goes face-up and then the Toon Dark Magician Girl appears on the field.
"Next I activate Pot of Greed, which as you know lets me draw two cards." Jaden said as a green jar with a face appears. It blows up and Jaden draws two cards.
"With that I end my turn." Jaden said.
"My turn," Nora said as she draws a card.
"I summon Toon Mermaid to the field in attack mode." Nora said as the Toon Word book flips a couple pages and then releases a puff of smoke. When the smoke dies down a Toon-type mermaid holding a pink bow that is sitting inside a live purple shell appears on the field. Its attack is 1400 and its defense is 1500.
"Now Toon Dark Magician Girl, attack Jaden directly with Toon Burning Attack." Nora said as the Toon Dark Magician Girl jumps up into the air and launches a purple blast from its staff at Jaden. When it hit, Jaden's life points go down to 6000.
"Could someone explain what just happed; why could a monster that was weaker then Uria attack directly?" Syrus asks all confused, who was up in the grandstands.
"It is because Jaden doesn't control a Toon monster and that means that Nora's Toon Monsters can attack him directly," Alexis said.
"Okay, I see." Syrus said.
'I hope Jaden keeps his anger down.' Alexis thought.
"Just like you did to me, I am returning the favor, Toon Goblin Attack Force attack Jaden directly with Goblin Barrage." Nora said back on the arena floor as the three goblins run over to Jaden. Each of them hits him with their clubs. Jaden's life points go down to 3700.
"After my Toon Goblin Attack Force attacks it must switch to defense mode and then I end my turn." Nora said as all three of the goblins go down on one knee.
"My turn, and due to the effects of my field spell Fallen Paradise I can draw two more cards." Jaden said as he draws three cards.
"Perfect I place these three spell cards face-down." Jaden said as three white rectangles appears on the field.
"Then I sacrifice these three spell cards to summon the Second Sacred Beast, Hamon, Lord of Striking Thunder." Jaden said as the three spell cards go face-up, turn to ice and break apart. The ice shards shoot up into the air to form a big pile behind Jaden. The electricity travels through it and a big yellow skeleton creature with giant wings breaks out of it and lands next to Uria. It has 4000 attack and defense points.
"Oh great," Nora says.
"Now for the big twist…your turn." Jaden said.
"What does Jaden have planned? He could have ended the duel during that turn." Bastion said up in the grandstands.
"Maybe he has something big planned." Alexis said.
'Just be careful Jay.' Alexis thought after she said that.
Atticus looks over at his sis and can tell she is worried. He thinks, 'I wonder what is wrong.'
"My turn and draw." Nora said back on the arena floor, and she draws a card.
"I activate the spell card Graceful Charity, which lets me draw three cards as long as I discard two." Nora said, as she draws three cards and then discards two.
"Next I activate the spell card known as Premature Burial; which at the cost of 800 life points I can summon a monster from my graveyard to the field in face-up attack mode. I choose a monster that I discarded when I used Graceful Charity, Toon Summoned Skull." Nora said as life points go down to 3200; then a white skeleton-type monster appears with blue wings and a face with a evil grin on it. It has 2500 attack points and 1200 defense points.
"Next I activate the spell card known as Pot of Greed which lets me draw two cards." Nora said as green jar with a face appears. Then it blows up and Nora draws two cards.
"Next I activate the spell card known as Monster Reborn and bring back the other monster I discard with Graceful Charity, Blue-Eyes Toon Dragon." Nora said. A Toon Version of the Blue-Eyes White Dragon appears on the field. It has an evil grin on its face. Its attack is 3000 and it defense is 2500.
"Next I am bringing out a brand new Toon Monster, on that has never been seen before. I sacrifice Toon Mermaid and Toon Goblin Attack Force to bring out Grand Toon King." Nora said as the Toon World Book flips a couple pages and Toon Mermaid and Toon Goblin Attack Force go in it. A puff of smoke appears and when the smoke dies down a large Toon-type person wearing royal clothes, and holding a large staff appears on the field. It attack and defense points are question marks.
"Now the attack of it is equal to the combined original attack of all other "Toon" monster I control. The defense of this card is equal to the combined original defense of all other "Toon" monster I control." Nora said as the Grand Toon King's attack goes up to 7500 and it defense goes up to 5400.
"Now I activate Grand Toon King special ability; by reducing its attack points I can add those points to my life points." Nora said as Grand Toon King's attack goes down to 700 and her life points go up to 10,000.
"Now Toon Dark Magician Girl, attack Jaden directly with Toon Dark Burning attack." Nora said as the Toon Dark Magician Girl's staff charge up revealing a ball of purple energy and then launches it at Jaden.
"Not so fast Nora, I activate my face down and it is Mirror Force. This powerful trap negates your attack and destroys all Attack position monster you control." Jaden said. The attack stops and all four of Nora's monsters blow-up.
"Oh crud, oh well I guess I end my turn." Nora said.
"My turn and due to the effects of my field spell Fallen Paradise I can draw two more cards." Jaden said as he draws three cards.
"Now I activate three copy of the spell card known as Fiend's Sanctuary." Jaden said as three black monsters made of different size ball appear on the field.
"Next I sacrifice all three Metal Fiend Token to call out the last Sacred Beast, Raviel, Lord of Phantasms." Jaden said, as the three tokens disappear and then a bright blue light come down behind Jaden. Out of the ground where the light is coming down a giant blue and purple monster with huge wings comes up. It attack and defense are 4000.
"Here another twist…now I know the Scared Beast cards are powerful cards, but I have one that is even more powerful." Jaden said.
"What could be more powerful, I know he doesn't have a god card." Zane said up in the grandstands.
"True, I don't, but check this out. I remove Uria, Hamon, and Raviel all from play in order to summon their fusion form, Armitael, Phantasm of Chaos." Jaden said as the three Sacred Beast disappear and clouds appear above the field. Then lighting goes off and a huge combination of the three appears on the field. Its body and left hand are Uria, it wings are Hamon, and there are parts of Raviel in it. Also it tail is wrapping around the whole field to the point where some of it is behind Nora. It has zero attack and defense points.
"No way the Ultimate Phantom Beast, I thought this thing was only a legend." Chancellor Sheppard said.
"This new decks power is amazing." Zane said sitting on the other side of the arena.
"Nice monster, but with zero attack and defense, there must be a catch." Nora said back on the arena floor.
"Oh there are actually two; number one this monster can't be destroyed in battle, and number two is when I enters the battle phase its attack points hit 10,000."
"No way!" Nora said shocked.
"Now Armitael, end this and attack Nora directly with Phantasmal Attack." Jaden said. Armitael pointed its Uria hand at Nora and launches a beam of dark energy at her. When it hits, Nora flies back and smashes into the ground. Her life points go down to zero.
The monster disappears and the field returns to normal. Then Jaden returns to normal, points his finger at her and says, "That's game."
Then all of a sudden his duel disk shocks him and he falls over.
"Jaden!!" Alexis screams from the grandstands.
She runs down the stairs and over to Jaden to see if he is okay. Jaden manages to look at her and says, "I don't know what's going on right now, but hold onto this just in case."
Then his eyes close and Alexis starts to cry.
"What happened to him, Alexis?" Chancellor Sheppard said from up in the grandstands.
"I don't know. All I know is that his eyes just closed." Alexis said with tears in her eyes back on the duel floor.
"Fonda, get a stretcher and get Jaden to the hospital wing." Sheppard said back up in grandstands.
Nora walks over to Alexis, hands her the card 'Cost Down' and says, "Here is the card Jaden won. Keep an eye on him, because if his deck is really that powerful he could become the next king of games."
"Got it and thank you," Alexis said as she takes the card.
Fonda brings over a stretcher and Alexis helps Fonda put Jaden on it. She runs next to the stretcher as Fonda pushes it towards the hospital wing. When they get to a room, Fonda and Alexis put Jaden on the bed and Alexis sits next to Jaden. Fonda remembered Alexis doing the same last time, so she allows it. Alexis put her head on Jaden's chest and fall asleep, hoping he will wake-up soon.
