Chapter 4 – I wanna be your Hero

"Alexis" Manjoume said with his mouth agape

"Hi there Manjoume, what are you up to?"

"I've been…………"

"Dueling by the looks of it"

"What?"

"I heard you beat both the Truesdale brothers and Bastion today"

"Yes, I did."

"Training for your next pro tournament?"

"No Alexis, I've been looking for you" Manjoume sputtered and blushed

"You've been looking for me? How come?"

"I wanted to give you this" Manjoume managed to say in his waterfall of verbal diarrhea. He then handed Alexis his note.

"What's this?" Alexis said holding the note in her hand. Before Manjoume could answer Jaden came running up.

"Hey guys" Jaden shouted happily.

"Hi Jaden" Alexis said happily

"How's it going Lex?" Jaden asked happily "How bout you Manjoume?"

"BEAT IT JADEN" Manjoume shouted.

"Hey, that's not nice" Alexis said grumpily. "What's your problem?"

"Yeah seriously" Jaden agreed. "You've ran into my twice today and been rude to me three times."

"I just want to be able to talk to Alexis in peace" Manjoume shouted angrily.

"Why didn't you just tell me that?" Jaden asked.

"Uhm….."

"We're buddies, I'll give you space when you need it, but it's not cool to be such an ass"

"Yeah" Alexis agreed.

"Fine Jaden" Manjoume said softly.

"So you'll apologize?" Alexis asked with a smile.

"No" Manjoume said softly. "I'll apologize WITH A DUEL JADEN"

"ALL RIGHT! Get your game on"

Duel

Jaden: I'll start this duel off, I draw. I activate polymerization to fuse my elemental hero wingman with my elemental hero burstinatrix. I summon Elemental Hero Flame Wingman (Attack 2100 Defense 1200). I throw down a face down and end my turn.

Manjoume: Standard opening, I draw. I summon Spined Lindworm in attack mode (attack 1900 defense 1200). I activate Duality. I tribute Spined Lindworm to summon Dark End Dragon in attack mode (Attack 2600 defense 2100) I attack your flame wingman. (Jaden life points 4000 to 3500).

Jaden: I activate Hero Signal. Since my flame wingman was destroyed I can summon another monster. I summon elemental hero Sparkman in attack mode. (Attack 1600 defense 1400)

Manjoume: I place one card face down and end my turn.

Jaden: I draw. I summon elemental hero bubbleman in attack mode. I activate Miracle Fusion. I remove from play my bubbleman, Sparkman, and my wingman from my graveyard. I summon Elemental Hero Tempest in attack mode (Attack 2800 defense 2800). I attack your Dark End Dragon. (Manjoume life points 4000 to 3800). I throw down a face down end my turn.

Manjoume: I draw. I activate monster reborn and summon back to my field Dark End Dragon in attack mode. Next I activate Light of the shadows and summon Light End Dragon from my deck in attack mode (Attack 2600 defense 2100). Now I use Light End Dragon's special effect, by subtracting from my dragon 500 attack points I can take away 1500 from your monster. (Light End Dragon attack 2100, Elemental Hero Tempest Attack 1300)

Jaden: I activate the special ability of Elemental Hero Tempest; I send my face down card to the graveyard so he cannot be destroyed by battle.

Manjoume: I attack Elemental Hero Tempest with Light End Dragon, GO SHINING SUBLIMATION. (Jaden life points 3500 to 2700). Next, I attack him again with Dark End Dragon (Jaden life points 2700 to 1400). I'm also far from done.

Jaden: What?

Manjoume: I activate Dark End Dragons special effect. I subtract 500 Attack from him to send your elemental hero tempest to the graveyard. (Dark End Dragon attack 2100). I throw one card face down and end my turn.

Alexis. Wow Manjoume is going all out with this duel.

Jaden: I draw

Winged Kuriboh: Kuri

Jaden: Hi there partner, let's do this. I summon Winged Kuriboh in attack mode (attack 300 defense 200)

Manjoume: No……..

Jaden: I activate transcendent wings. With this I tribute Winged Kuriboh to summon Winged Kuriboh lvl 10 in attack mode. (Attack 300 defense 200). I activate the ability of Winged Kuriboh lvl 10. I send him and all other monsters on the field to the graveyard. You take damage equal to their combined attacks (Combined attack equals 4500)

Manjoume: NOOOOOOOOOOO (Manjoume life points 3800 to 0)

Duel End.

"I lost" Manjoume said defeated on the ground.

"Yeah but it was a blast" Jaden smiled. Manjoume looked up at his smiling face.

"That was pretty impressive" Alexis said happily.

"Alexis" Manjoume said softly.

"You are a great duelist, I had fun watching you" Alexis said happily. Manjoume's eyes watered and he held back some tears.

"Jaden" Manjoume whispered softly.

"Yes?"

"Could you leave us alone please?"

"Sure, catch ya later" Jaden said happily.

"Alexis" Manjoume whispered softly with a serious look on his face.

"Yes?" Alexis answered with a slight look of confusion.

"Please read the note". He watched as Alexis unfolded the note and began to read it. His heart raced and he felt cold and burning hot at the same time. She read aloud.

Without the moon the Earth cannot exist.

It controls the tides and lights up the night.

For you the sun are the same.

Without you I cannot exist.

How can I explain that which is how I survive?

How can I say all the things that you mean to me?

My dearest friend,

My greatest strength,

The goal that drives me forward,

I long only to see your smile

And when you are sad my world crumbles

With you by my side there is nothing I cannot face

With you by my side my darkness subsides and my rage humble

In you I have found my eternal place

The person who accepts me and picks me up when I tumble

But its only when I am surrounded by your embrace

That I truly feel happy and safe.

So no matter what challenges are in front of you

No matter what pains lay ahead

Stay strong and hold your head up high

For I will always be right here by your side

To protect you, to stand by you, to support you,

To make you laugh, to make you feel special,

For you do the same for me

You make me feel strong

You make me feel accepted

You make me laugh when I smile

And you hold me while I cry

I am always thankful to have you

As my friend

From this time on

Until the end.

You are my closest friend

For in you I have an

Unbreakable bond, Friends Forever

Love,

Manjoume

Alexis finished reading and stood there without moving a muscle or making a noise. Slowly she lowered the letter to meet the eyes of Manjoume. She was blushing slightly and was looking for the words to say.

"Manjoume…..I"

"Wait Alexis" Manjoume said suddenly causing Alexis to jump. He grabbed her hands and held them tightly. Alexis blushed harder.

"Manjoume….."

"I know Alexis. I know your feelings. I know you like Jaden. I had to tell you. I had to let you know my feelings. Jaden might use them in every duel but, I want to be your hero." Manjoume was sweating and shaking slightly. Alexis stared at him and smiled.

"You are wrong Manjoume" Alexis said softly.

"What do you mean?" Manjoume asked confused.

"The person I love with all my heart is………."
