Chapter 2 – Welcome to Duel Academy. Fools do as Fools do.
AN – Preamble – I do not own Yugioh , Yugioh Arc V, Yugioh GX, Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha, or any of it save for any OC's I might add in the fanfic.
KaibaCorp helicopters, rather comfortable, as would be expected for the company really, everyone was ferried over, I decided to sit in with Alexis and what seems to be 2 rather overexcited Obelisk Blue girls, meaning they either come from rich families, or went to that prep school that the Princeton guy was bragging about, Mindy and Jasmine, they introduced themselves as. Jasmine, red hair, slightly fiery personality, dark hair, twin tails, bit of a space case, both rather attractive, but Fate is the only girl for me.
"Mr Kaiba" Mindy began before I put up a hand to stop her, formalities waste time after all. "Kamito. Mr Kaiba is my Father." cliche line but it has all 3 girls chuckling. Mindy decides to continue "Its nice to meet you Kamito, I saw you wipe the floor with Crowler, it was if he wasn't even a speck on your radar, just how powerful are you" I ponder that, no one has really been capable of pushing my limits except Fate. "Crowler is overconfident and makes fatal mistakes, he walked into the play that Slifer kid had from the start, Could repeat that duel 10 times over and it'll be the same result every time. As for me, well, I haven't had a decent test since... " I trail off, the words barely making it out of my mouth. Alexis puts her hand on my shoulder for comfort, and replies for me "Much like I lost my brother Atticus, he lost someone important to him as well, please don't pester him about it" I shoot her a thankful nod and try to get the sadness under control, wouldn't do to be going Berserk mode if I get into another duel.
And now, Mindy, being the massive stereotype that she is , I'll have to see her duel before I can fully judge but I doubt she's up to much then asks a much more personal question "What do you look for in a woman" is she hitting on me when she hasn't even seen my face, I could be scarred brutally (as it turns out, I'm not, but eh, I could be) Alexis face palms at this, and I answer with two words, which I assume only Alexis will get the meaning of "Fate Testarossa"
Alexis meets my gaze and immediately knows what I meant, the others assume its the name of the important person Alexis said that I had lost, and decided not to press the subject, probably for the best.
Alexis changes the subject and says " Hey, your duel disk, its custom right?" Smile back on my face, the first thing I built was a better duel disk. "Yeah built it myself, has a recording function so I can go back and watch duels to see if I made mistakes, or if someone cheats, or if I just need to record something I guess" "Also has an emergency locator in case it goes missing and a GPS and emergency contact line in case I go missing, it also junctions with my D-Wheel if I ever feel like a riding duel."
Jasmine and Mindy obviously haven't heard of D-Wheels so they simultaneously reply "D-Wheel? Riding Duel?" I laugh out a reply "A D-Wheel is a Motorcycle adapted for the ability to duel at high speeds, which is a Riding duel. It has a hand holding slot (you try turning at high speeds) Autopilot with collision detection and avoidance, and a junction slot for my duel disk to project the cards and effects. Its a KaibaCorp design, I don't actually know how many sold, but me and Fate were the ones who designed and built the prototype model for Research and Development to expand and mass produce" All 3 girls looked shocked at the last revelation. Alexis seems extremely impressed , as do the others , Alexis replies "So not only do you build custom duel disks with safety features both for the disk AND for you, you build a motorcycle capable of high speed duels with autopilot beyond anything the public and other companies are capable of". I nod, mechanics tend to come naturally to me, and note "Well, I did most of the building, but Fate did most of the design work, we helped each other finish it, made quite a lot of money off of it as well." Ah, reminiscing of the past, good to fill a distraction, but not good when busy.
"Hey, would it be alright if I just try and sleep for a bit, haven't slept properly in a while." Entirely truthful, was testing new cards against Dads duelling machines, they worked perfectly.
All 3 girls nod, and Jasmine is the one who replies "Yeah sure, just don't snore" she smiles. I roll my eyes at that, not that anyone can tell and say "I don't snore." and then tuck my head into the corner and close my eyes.
The Helicopter ride is tediously long to Academy Island, I do eventually manage to get some sleep, and, what only felt like several minutes later, I feel someone poking my arm and hear a soft voice "Hey, wake up, we're here, can't be that comfortable to sleep on a helicopter anyway" well, Alexis is right at that, though a KaibaCorp helicopter is built for comfort at least. "How long was I out" I ask, not even slightly dishevelled from my sleep. Jasmine replies " About two and a half hours, you sleep kinda soundly" Funny, I usually barely sleep at all.
I get out of the helicopter, duel disk on arm, deck in deck slot so no cards can fall out, all spare cards on my ship under heavy security that not even Dad knows the code to. Fate would, but I've changed the codes since... no, focus. I turn to the pilot "Any idea where we're supposed to head? Instructions before getting on the copter weren't exactly specific" The Pilot, who is also a trained bodyguard, just in case as people have tried to steal KaibaCorp copters before, and well, with the heir on it, logical I guess, though I could just have a dragon eat them if they tried to attack me, but few people know that, and I have fewer reasons still to want to reveal it.
The pilot thinks for a second before she says, loud enough for me and the 3 girls to hear "Auditorium for a briefing from the Chancellor before heading to your rooms to get ready for the welcome feast, or the boat in your case sir" I turn to the others, nod, before turning back to the pilot and saying "Thanks, great flying by the way, even Dad and I can't make the ride smooth enough for people to fall asleep on successfully" not that we try, but eh, compliment an employee, they'll feel appreciated and work better. "Thank you sir, loved flying since I was 6, always knew I'd end up a pilot." And end up a pilot she did. "Gotta refuel then head back, be home for 18:00 at this rate, good to be your pilot sir" before she turned to the copter and began her post flight checks.
Turning back to Alexis, Mindy and Jasmine I say "Well, to the Auditorium then, before pulling out the pocket PDA that we were handed before leaving (along with our uniforms, not that I have to wear mine) and access the map function. Useful device this, map, email, planner, reminders, calendar, GPS, emergency beacon, with enough of them you could set a trail in a desert and guarantee a safe way back.
Of course, before falling asleep I was tinkering with my PDA to add a route finder function to the GPS and Map which I decide to access and test out - Destination Auditorium , Start Location Helipad A – plan route . "Follow me. Walk towards forest. Turn left, follow path along til Signpost set A, Follow path from Signpost set A towards main building." Alexis ponders for a second then notes "wait a second, how does your PDA have a route planner, ours only has a Map with a built in emergency GPS" I chuckle slightly and point out "Engineer here, was tinkering with the PDA whilst we were on the Copter, worst I could have done was break it and need a new one" She places her hand under her chin as if pondering something and says "Hey, can you do that to mine as well, a route planner would help explore and make it harder to get lost" I nod and say "Sure, bring it by my ship later or something, we'll have to arrange a time, it only takes an hour or so though". She thanks me appreciatively and we continue on the path.
We reach Signpost set A, which points in the direction of the dorms and the main building. We can clearly see the main building by this point but it's better to follow the paths and not wind up in the forest or end up falling off a cliff or into a lake or something stupid like that (Jaden sneezes, and wonders why)
Following along the path the signpost pointed out, we reach the entrance to the main building, large, contains the admin office, a duel field, the auditorium and a few other classrooms as well as the gymnasium, indoor sports fields (yet no racetrack, note to self, get Dad to have racetrack installed when Fate is found)
We walk through the halls, following the now obvious crowd of students towards the auditorium
The large screen in the auditorium then turns on, revealing a bald man in a burgundy coat, and not a pretentious one like Crowler has.
"Greetings Students I am Chancellor Sheppard Chancellor and Headmaster of this prestigious Duel Academy" generic introduction speech if there ever was one
"Today everyone is going to settle into their dorms" Or settle back into my boat "and later, each dorm will be holding a welcome feast, which is mandatory to attend" Public appearances, I don't like them, Dad never did particularly either" "There are a number of rules to follow, but one of the most important is this... The abandoned dorm is off limits to all students, and entering it will result in severe punishment" I doubt that. I NEED to enter that dorm. I need evidence of where Fate is! Ignoring that rule. I turn my head and see Alexis wink at me so as if to say 'Off limits to who exactly'
The Chancellor continues his speech, I apparently fail to notice it was over until Alexis pokes me and says "Talk in private" snapped out of my stupor, and the near berserk mode of having something as stupid as a rule stopping me from finding Fate. Dad did kind of give me a remit to do as is necessary to find Fate, not just because she's important to KaibaCorp (Our designs make ALOT of money) but because she's important to me
Alexis and I walk outside as we head down the heavily signposted path towards the Pier, where we see my boat docked. Alexis looks as if her jaw is about to hit the floor. "Biggest boat I've ever seen, its huge" I laugh at her reaction, she's a good friend, able to bring me out of my sadness quite well "Dad has one bigger, though his might as well be a cruise liner, this one could be as well, but its been heavily re-purposed . Will have to give you the tour some time" She nods gleefully and says "What Sheppard says, that stupid rule, we can't let it stop us, can we. We have to find something, anything that can clue us in to how we can find them" I nod solemnly before adding "Don't go inside it without me there, I can protect us from the danger, plus, if you get caught alongside me, you're less likely to get in trouble than if you get caught alone, might as well exploit the fact that my Dad owns the place to get away with what we need to do, right?" She smiles and says "At least you're exploiting your fame and power for good reasons, not like Chazz who uses it to bully, saw him yelling at that Jaden kid, who apparently got stuck in Slifer, purely for his status. You said it yourself, Jaden as a duelist has potential, guess he must suck at theory and exam work to end up in Slifer" I nod before laughing "apparently I would have got placed in blue purely based on my tests, even without my father ensuring it, I got 105% on the theory, extra 5 % for playing the WIN IN THIS TURN format duels flawlessly" She looks shocked at that "Even Zane only got 100%, you must be a master strategist" I chuckle and reply "Nope, I just know the cards, know the theory, and am very very good at thinking on the fly."
We talk for a while before I lead her into the Kitchen and open the fridge before shouting "want a drink or something?, mostly Sodas but also have Juice, milkshake, tea, coffee and hot chocolate" She likes the idea of a Cola so I toss her one over, she catches it gracefully
"What do you think our plan should be involving searching?" I ask her, suddenly. She thinks for a second and says "Document everything in the place on your computer and scan anything we find that looks out of place" Good plan that.
I check the time and notice we don't have long until the welcome feasts, "We better head towards our dorms for the feast, lets see how their cooking compares to mine" I'd rather stay here, stupid mandatory feast. Alexis looks pensive before responding "So going to have to let me compare at some point as well" I nod, and we walk towards the dorms "Catch ya later Lex" I say, giving her a nickname for some reason, she smiles at that. "Yeah, mandatory feasts, bet you'd rather sleep if you're still like you were on the Copter." she replies before we part ways, her towards the Blue girls Dorm, and myself towards the Blue boys Dorm , ready for a massive interrogation about XYZ summons and my duel with Crowler unless Zane already headed it off for me (please say he has please say he has)
I arrive at the main entrance to the dorm, open the door, and note the marvel of KaibaCorp design, top dollar spent on this place, though it's not as well built or as customized as my Boat, hence why Dad got them to allow me to stay on the Boat instead of in the dorm, I need access to the computer to scan for any anomalies if I intend to find Fate after all.
The feast was fairly good, vast, large varieties catering to everyone's specific tastes in food , with options for vegans, vegetarians, people with specific allergies, they really do cater to everyone just in case. I sat beside Zane, one of the few people I can stand a conversation with because I know he'll understand what I say and asked him about the island, the courses, the work, avoiding the obvious topic of the abandoned dorm we both want to discuss later as I did with Alexis.
As the feast ended, the blustering Princeton kid from before at that point decided stupidity was the "in" thing this year and bellowed out "KAIBA, I , The Chazz Princeton, do hereby challenge you to a duel, right now!" I sigh loud enough that its heard.
"You're a thousand years too early to challenge me, but why not , need to burn off some of the energy from the feast anyway." I reply, irritated. Zane smirks at the idea of the blustering idiot Chazz being taken down several pegs. Crowler hears the challenge being accepted and says "Princeton vs Kaiba will happen in the Obelisk blue duel arena, please head there now if you wish to watch" into a microphone, which I assume is part of a P.A system or something.
"Zane, mind showing me to the arena, don't know the way" I say before he nods and gestures to follow him.
We get to the arena and Zane says "Good luck, not as if you'll need it, duel is in 10 minutes to give spectators a chance to arrive." I nod and wonder if Alexis will laugh as I crush "The Chazz" as much as me and Zane will.
10 minutes pass and I walk into the arena, ready to kill.. I mean duel, yeah, lets go with that.
"Attention, attention, we have a grand spectacle of a duel this evening folks, Chazz Princeton vs a master of an unknown Summoning Type, KAMITO KAIBA" Pander to the son of the guy who writes your paycheque, amusing.
I look around the crowd and see Alexis waving, and a nod from Zane, which I return, ready to kill... I mean duel, totally not kill ,Chazz
Seems to be only one Ra (Bastian) and no Slifers around, odd.
Duel Start - Kamito 4000 LP - Chazz 4000 LP
"I'm taking the first move Kaiba "Chazz states, boldly, I shrug, uncaring, though I much prefer going second, as any good offensive duelist will.
Turn 1 – Chazz
"I DRAW"
"I summon V-Tiger Jet in attack mode!" Ah, a Union deck. Dad has the good Union cards, recently created, the ABC cards, but I digress.
V-Tiger Jet Level 4 - Machine/Light/Normal - 1600 Atk/ 1800 Def
"Next I play the magic card Frontline base!"
Frontline Base – Normal Magic – Once per turn you can Special Summon 1 level 4 or below Union monster from your hand
"I use the effect of Frontline base to summon W-Wing Catapult!"
W-Wing Catapult - Level 4 - Machine/Light/Union 1300 Atk/1500 Def
Once per turn, you can equip this card to a "V-Tiger Jet" you control, OR unequip it to Special Summon this card in face-up Attack Position. When equipped to a monster by this card's effect, the equipped monster gains 400 ATK and DEF. (A monster can only be equipped with 1 Union Monster at a time. If the equipped monster would be destroyed by battle, destroy this card instead.)
"Two become one, I combine V-Tiger Jet and W-Wing Catapult to form a new monster. VW-Tiger Catapult
VW-Tiger Catapult – Level 6 - Machine/Light/Fusion/Effect 2000 Atk/ 2100 Def
"V-Tiger Jet" + "W-Wing Catapult"
This card can only be Special Summoned from your Extra Deck by removing from play the above cards you control. (You do not use "Polymerization"). You can discard 1 card from your hand to change the battle position of 1 monster your opponent controls. (Flip Effects are not activated at this time.)
"I set 1 card face down and end my turn" So , he controls 2 magic/trap cards, This should be amusing
"Beat that"
Turn 2 - Kamito
Now then, 2000 Attack isn't enough for a one turn kill with Dark Rebellion, the minimum threshold is 3000 for that. Hmm
"I Draw"
Switching to my main phase "From my hand I activate the trap card Typhoon, as you control 2 or more magic/trap cards and I control none, I can activate Typhoon from my hand and I use it to destroy your face down card!"
Typhoon – Normal Trap -
Target 1 face-up Magic/Trap Card on the field; destroy it. If your opponent controls 2 or more Magic/Trap Cards and you control no Magic/Trap Cards, you can activate this card from your hand.
Good thing I did too, a defensive battle trap, Dimensional Prison, could have been irritating.
Dimension Prison – Normal Trap
When an opponent's monster declares an attack: Target that attacking monster; banish that target.
Chazz yells "Dammit, I needed to protect my monster from your crazy XYZ"
I laugh at that "If death has you marked, he'll find you."
5 other cards in my hand, might as well stick to the fact that I can spam out level 4's before I have to reveal anything fun (I glance to a dragon card in my hand whilst thinking that)
"I summon Entermage Trick Clown in Attack mode."
Entermage Trick Clown - Level 4 – Spellcaster/Light/Effect 1600 Atk/ 1200 Def
If this card is sent to the Graveyard: You can target 1 "Entermage" monster in your Graveyard; Special Summon it, its ATK and DEF become 0, then you take 1000 damage. You can only use this effect of "Entermage Trick Clown" once per turn.
"As I Control a face-up Spellcaster type monster, I special summon Inari Fire from my hand"
Inari Fire – Level 4 – Pyro/Fire/Effect - 1500 Atk/200 Def
You can only control 1 "Inari Fire". If you control a Spellcaster-Type monster, you can Special Summon this card (from your hand). Once per turn, during your next Standby Phase after this face-up card on the field was destroyed by a card effect and sent to the Graveyard: Special Summon it from your Graveyard. You can only control 1 "Inari Fire". If you control a Spellcaster-Type monster, you can Special Summon this card (from your hand). Once per turn, during your next Standby Phase after this face-up card on the field was destroyed by a card effect and sent to the Graveyard: Special Summon it from your Graveyard.
"Next up, as I still have that Spellcaster, I Special summon Jigabyte from my hand"
Jigabyte – Level 4 – Reptile/Water/Effect - 1500 Atk/200 Def
You can only control 1 "Jigabyte". If you control a Spellcaster-Type monster, you can Special Summon this card (from your hand). When this card is destroyed by battle or card effect and sent to the Graveyard: You can Special Summon 1 monster with 1500 ATK and 200 DEF from your Deck, except "Jigabyte".
"Now for the fun part" "With the Level 4 Entermage Trick Clown and the Level 4 Inari Fire, I BUILD THE OVERLAY NETWORK!"
"Formed from pitch-black darkness, to fight those foolish enough to oppose it with its treacherous fangs! Now, descend! Xyz Summon! Appear! Rank 4! Dark Rebellion Xyz Dragon"
Dark Rebellion XYZ Dragon Rank 4 Dragon/Dark/XYZ/Effect 2500 Atk 2000 Def
"You can detach 1Xyz Material from this card, then target 1 face-up monster your opponent controls; its ATK becomes half its current ATK, and if it does, this card gains that lost ATK."
Everyone who didn't see the duel in the arena against Crowler was shocked, Crowler himself looks ready to have an aneurysm, Alexis and Zane are laughing openly, and Chazz is in so much shock he thinks he can still win "Even if you use your effect twice, you won't deal enough damage to win and I'll get rid of Dark Rebellion on my next turn" Chazz blustered out.,At that point my eyes flash purple before I respond coldly "There won't BE a next turn for you"
"I detach 1 overlay unit from Dark Rebellion XYZ Dragon to reduce your VW-Tiger Catapults attack points by half and increase Dark Rebellion's attack by the same amount. TREASON DISCHARGE!
First sending Inari Fire to the grave
VW-Tiger Catapult Attack 2000 – 1000 = 1000
Dark Rebellion XYZ Dragon Attack 2500 + 1000 = 3500
But wait, there's more. "I use the effect once more, TREASON DISCHARGE!" This time detaching Entermage Trick Clown
VW -Tiger Catapult Attack 1000-500 = 500
Dark Rebellion XYZ Dragon Attack 3500 + 500 = 4000
"Entermage Trick Clown's effect activates at the point it hits the grave, I pay 1000 Life points to summon it to the field in face up defence position, but its attack and defence points are reduced to 0"
Kamito LP 4000-1000 = 3000
"Now, with the level 4 Entermage Trick Clown and the level 4 Jigabyte, I BUILD THE OVERLAY NETWORK" Everyone, save for Alexis and Zane who suspected this gasp in horror before Crowler Shouts "ANOTHER, HE HAS ANOTHER XYZ! JUST HOW POWERFUL IS KAMITO KAIBA"
Back to me, I decide to up the fear factor a little "Unappeased Soul placed aboard the Ark. Arise from the abyss so deep not even light can reach it! Appear! Numbers 101! Rank 4 Silent Honors Ark Knight!"
Numbers 101: Silent Honour Ark Knight - Rank 4 - Aqua/Water/XYZ/Effect
2100 Atk / 1000 Def
2 Level 4 monsters
You can detach 2 Xyz Materials from this card, then target 1 Special Summoned monster your opponent controls in face-up Attack Position; attach it to this card as a face-up Xyz Material. You can only use this effect of "Number 101: Silent Honour ARK Knight" once per turn. If this face-up card would be destroyed, you can detach 1 Xyz Material from this card instead.
Even Zane and Alexis are surprised by this monster, and how generic yet how powerful it appears to be.
"I activate the effect of Numbers 101: Silent Honors Ark Knight, and detach 2 Overlay Units in order to target your VW-Tiger Catapult and attach it as an Overlay unit to Numbers 101 ETERNAL SOUL ASYLUM!"
Zane and Alexis both realize this entire play was massively unnecessary and was about making a point to put Chazz in his place, but everyone else sees it as a horrible overkill"
I switch to my battle phase at this point, intent on ending this brutally
"Numbers 101: Silent Honors Ark Knight, Attack Chazz directly Million Phantom Flood!"
Chazz LP 4000 – 2100 = 1900
"Dark Rebellion XYZ Dragon Attack Chazz directly, Crush him with your fangs, REVOLT OF THE LIGHTNING , DISOBEY!"
Chazz LP 1900 – 4000 = -2100
DUEL END – VICTOR – Kamito!
I walk away, not amused with Chazz's blusterifications about luck, when he simply can't admit defeat. How did he ever top a duel prep school again?
Walking away, intending on heading back to the boat, Alexis catches up with me and says "Hey Kamito" I turn to well, she can't tell I'm smiling because of the mask but eh details "I'm smiling in case you can't tell" I chuckle "Enjoy the show?" She laughs along with me and says "If anyone knows the meaning of Overkill, it's you. Heading back to the boat now?" she adds and I nod , intending on cataloguing the data I collected from my scans. "Was going to , why, anything interesting going on?" I ask, curious. She shakes her head and says "Na, just another person challenging the Slifer after losing to you , wonder if that'll became a theme. " I laugh at the idea of that, Slifer Jaden being a 'you lost to me, Duel him now' Sort of thing. If only I can get them to duel him first, cuts down on the amount of time wasting duelling weaker opponents.
"Another challenge? Guessing its not now or everyone wouldn't be clearing out" Alexis shakes her head and replies "nope, midnight" Wow, breaking rules already "Wanna sneak along and watch them, see if they're up to anything else untoward" She adds, hinting towards our primary goal. I nod and say "I think it'll just be a duel, but if there's information out there, we can't help but look, eh? Wanna head back to the boat with me and come back here just before midnight so we don't get caught sneaking out? " She thinks for a second and says "It'll be less suspicious if we meet up, I'll come pick you up half an hour before, that way you can get some some sleep first, you look dead on your feet" I think about that, realizing she's clearly right, and agree to her plan. "See you at 23:30 Lex" Laughing that if anyone overhears they'd think I'm up to some kind of midnight rendezvous with her or something.
I slightly stumble a few times on the way back to the boat, far more tired than I thought I was, open the security room and intone "activate security, keyword onomatophobia" "Set alarm 23:20" I first decide to head to the master showers, taking off my mask, goggles, well, everything except my pendulum really, one of my prized possessions that is, first thing Fate ever gave to me, and I feel its power in the summons, Setting the shower temperature via voice command, not too hot, not too cold, but warm , a relaxing shower helps make you feel tired, and after drying off (I love technology) I climb into bed , pull the covers over myself and enter the land of sleep rather quickly
Time passes, I hear my alarm, not phased by it and wake up, sort my hair, grab a pair of goggles and one of my masks, my choker, and get my clothes on ready to meet Lex, just as I head out to the deck of my Boat I see her heading up the pier towards me, our gazes meet , I hop down next to her and quietly say "Hey, you were right, the warm shower and sleep really helped" She replies "yeah you look a whole lot more lively, I swear though do you sleep like that?" I chuckle, having been asked that question by many a member of KaibaCorp staff and say "Na, I just get ready rather quickly. I intend to map the island completely and get it in memory the next few days, up for joining me on that excursion ?" I add , she nods and says "Need to know the island well to do what we came here for, definitely, want me to ask Zane?, as I'm more likely to run into him than you are" I think about it and reply "He probably does know the island well as he's a third year but it couldn't hurt for an extra pair of eyes, we might find some things he missed.
We head up the path towards the blue dorm, the same duel arena as I faced Chazz in earlier, and see Jaden, as well as the mouse-like Syrus who would run at a pin drop, and a human that looks like a Big Koala that was Shaved? Or is it actually a Shaved Big Koala? Who knows.
Jaden sees us and says "Hey, Alexis, Kaiba, you two come to see me kick Chazz's butt?" Cocky little git, I can get away with it, because I come off as a dark badass, and have the skill to back it up in spades, Jaden comes off a little braggy.
Alexis replies before I do , probably realizing what I was thinking " We've come to see what you were up to, duelling at this hour, if you get caught, you could be thrown out"
Syrus looks shocked nearly to death at that, and starts whimpering and the Man Koala says "So not lishus, and what about you two, you shouldn't be out at night either." I say what's on my mind, out loud without realizing it "Huh? Human Koala hybrids can speak?" Everyone looks confused at that before I continue "C'mon Lex, you have to admit he looks like a Big Koala that someone Shaved" She tries her hardest to not burst out laughing there before ManKoala replies "I'm not a koala my name is Chumley!" I nod, half-heartedly and whisper to Alexis "Who names a Koala Chumley and then shaves it" she chuckles, as do I , but none of the Slifers hear us , I'm glad I met Alexis, she may be the second True friend I've ever had, able to give me a sense of humour again.
Chazz and Goons Number One and Two (which one is which, only they can decide) arrive at this point, and after a boring back and forth argument, in which they fail to notice either me or Lex sat there, the duel begins
Duel Start - Jaden 4000 LP - Chazz 4000 LP
"We'll do this properly and toss a coin to decide who goes first" Chazz says, much of the bluster lost after I slaughtered I mean duelled him earlier. "Call it Slacker" Jaden says , far too loud for a duel out of hours and out of bounds "Heads!" and the coin lands on …"It's Tails Slacker, you lost the toss just like you'll lose the duel , I'm taking the first turn!"
"Get your game on" Jaden says, irritating catchphrase, far worse than Yugi's ITS TIME TO DUEL.
Turn 1 – Chazz
"I DRAW"
"I summon Reborn Zombie in Attack position"
Reborn Zombie – Level 4 - Zombie/Dark/Effect 1000 Atk/1600 Def
While you have no cards in your hand and this card is in Attack Position, it cannot be destroyed by battle.
Alexis turns to me and says "Got a read on Chazz's strategy based on that one card?" I nod slightly and say "You joke, but Chazz plans to do something, though I don't know what, to Jaden's fusion summon, the zombie is either bait, or fodder for a card effect" "Chazz is also playing a different deck to the one he was playing against me. Zombies in a Union deck would be too mismatched, and wouldn't fit" Alexis considers the point and says "hmm, Cthonian , perhaps, I know he has a deck with them in, Cthonian Polymer would fit what you're saying" I nod, that it would.
Back to Chazz "I set 1 Card face down and End my turn!"
Turn 2 – Jaden
"I DRAW"
"You're in for it now Chazz" Dammit Jaden, you're walking straight into an obvious trap, get over yourself and notice it.
"Next I activate Fusion! Fusing my Elemental Hero Avian I recovered earlier with the Elemental Hero Burstinatrix in my hand in order to create a new monster".
" Fire and Air come together to create a brave and powerful hero. Walk the path of justice. FUSION SUMMON, Level 6 Elemental Hero FLAME WINGMAN!"
Fusion – Fusion Summon 1 monster from your extra deck using monsters in your hand or on your side of the field as material.
Elemental Hero Burstinatrix Level 4 Warrior/Fire/Normal 1200 Atk 800 Def
Elemental Hero Avian -Warrior/Wind/Normal 1000 Atk 1000 Def
Elemental Hero Flame Wingman Level 6 Warrior/Wind/Fusion/Effect 2100 Atk/1200 Def
"Elemental HERO Avian" + "Elemental HERO Burstinatrix"
Must first be fusion summoned. When this card destroys a monster by battle and sends it to the Graveyard: Inflict damage to your opponent equal to the ATK of the destroyed monster in the Graveyard.
"Just what I was waiting for Jaden, you walked straight into my trap" Chazz says , happily,. I facepalm at the same time Alexis does and we both note , in stereo "how can you miss such an obvious trap"
Back to Captain Obvious, I mean Chazz's play " I activate the trap card Cthonian Polymer and use it to take control of your Flame Wingman by releasing my reborn Zombie
Cthonian Polymer – Normal Trap - You can only activate this card when your opponent Fusion Summons a Fusion Monster. Tribute 1 monster on your side of the field to take control of that Fusion Monster.
Jaden , apparently the reincarnation of Swiper the Fox, only missing the Fur, the tail and the eye mask once again says "Aww man!" I , without even thinking say "Swiper no Swiping, Swiper no Swiping, Swiper no Swiping!" Alexis hears me, laughs and says "Jaden reminds you of Swiper the fox when he says Aww man as well?" I nod and chuckle as well.
Back to Swiper, I mean Jaden "I set one monster in facedown defence position and end my turn" He's over reliant on his fusions, as HERO decks tend to be.
Turn 3 – Chazz
"I Draw"
"I summon Cthonian Soldier in Attack mode!"
Cthonian Soldier – Level 4 – Warrior/Dark/Effect 1200 Atk/1400 Def
When this card is destroyed by an opponent's attacking monster and sent to the Graveyard, the Battle Damage you took from this battle is also inflicted to your opponent.
"I set a card facedown" Chazz then switches to his battle phase
"Flame Wingman, attack Jaden's defence monster with Skydive Scorcher!"
Defence monster turns out to be... Elemental Hero Clayman.
Elemental Hero Clayman - Level 4 - Warrior/Earth/Normal - 800 Atk/2000 Def
"Though Clayman was in defence position, Elemental Hero Flame Wingman's monster effect activates, dealing damage to you equal to Clayman's attack points
Jaden LP 4000 – 800 = 3200
"Cthonian Soldier attack Jaden directly!"
Jaden LP 3200 – 1200 = 2000
"I end my turn"
Turn 4 - Jaden
"I DRAW"
"I Summon Elemental Hero Sparkman in Attack mode!"
Elemental Hero Sparkman – Level 4 – Warrior/Light/Normal 1600 Atk/1400 Def
"I set 1 card facedown " Jaden then switches to his battle phase
"Sparkman, attack Cthonian Soldier Static Shock!"
Chazz LP 4000-400 = 3600
"Cthonian Soldier's monster effect activates, when it's destroyed by battle and sent to the graveyard, you take the same battle damage I do
Jaden LP 2000 – 400 = 1600
"I end my turn!" I turn to Alexis and she asks "What do you think Jaden's facedown is, If Wingman attacks Sparkman successfully, That's game" . I ponder that one for a few seconds and reply "Mirror Gate is what I'd hope it was if I were Jaden, so it could be that." She nods, agreeing with my assessment.
"I end my turn"
Turn 5 – Chazz
" I DRAW" Chazz
Chazz switches straight to his battle phase, not a wise plan, as he has no monster backup to finish the duel with if Mirror Gate really IS the card.
"Flame Wingman, attack Sparkman with Skydive Scorcher and End this duel!"
Swiper... Jaden, yeah Jaden says "I activate the trap MIRROR GATE"
Mirror Gate – Normal Trap - When an opponent's monster declares an attack targeting a face-up "Elemental HERO" monster you control: Switch control of the opponent's attacking monster with the targeted monster you control, then calculate damage.
Sparkman then gets destroyed by the Flame Wingman under Jaden's control
Chazz LP 3600 -500 – 3100.
"I activate Flame Wingman's monster effect , you take damage equal to Sparkman's attack points"
Chazz LP 3100 – 1600 = 1500.
Chazz switches to his main phase 2
"I play the spell Cthonian Blast"
Cthonian Blast – Normal Spell - When a face-up monster you control is destroyed and sent to the Graveyard: Destroy the 1 face-up monster on the field that has the lowest ATK (your choice, if tied), and if you do, inflict damage to both players equal to half of that monster's ATK.
"I destroy your Flame wingman and inflict half of its attack points as damage to your life points!"
Jaden LP 1600 – 1050 = 550
"Next I Activate my set card Call of the Haunted to bring back Cthonian Soldier"
Call of the Haunted – Continuous Trap - Activate this card by targeting 1 monster in your Graveyard; Special Summon that target in Attack Position. When this card leaves the field, destroy that target. When that target is destroyed, destroy this card.
Cthonian Soldier - – Level 4 – Warrior/Dark/Effect 1200 Atk/1400 Def
When this card is destroyed by an opponent's attacking monster and sent to the Graveyard, the Battle Damage you took from this battle is also inflicted to your opponent.
"But he won't be sticking around for long, I Tribute Cthonian soldier in order to Tribute summon Mefist the Infernal General"
Mefist the Infernal General - Level 5 - Fiend/Dark/Effect 1800 Atk/1700 Def
When this card attacks with an ATK that is higher than the DEF of your opponent's Defence Position monster, inflict the difference as Battle Damage to your opponent's Life Points. When this card inflicts Battle Damage to your opponent's Life Points, discard 1 card randomly from your opponent's hand.
"I end my turn"
Turn 6 – Jaden
"I DRAW"
"I activate the card I just drew, Monster Reborn!"
Monster Reborn - Magic Card – Target 1 monster in either player's graveyard – Special Summon it.

"Elemental HERO Avian" + "Elemental HERO Burstinatrix"
Must first be fusion summoned. When this card destroys a monster by battle and sends it to the Graveyard: Inflict damage to your opponent equal to the ATK of the destroyed monster in the Graveyard."
Chazz, furious at this yells "No, Twice in one day, I can't"
Jaden switches to his battle phase
"Flame Wingman, attack Mefist with SKYDIVE SCORCHER!"
Chazz LP 1500 – 300 = 1200
"Don't forget Flame Wingman's monster effect!"
Chazz LP 1200 – 1800 = -600
DUEL END – VICTOR Jaden
"I won" Jaden, still oblivious to the time, yells , at which point, Alexis and I have already slipped out, if they get caught, unlikely though, its their fault, not ours.
"Hey Lex, What'd ya think of that then? " I ask her quietly, as we're slipping away. She thinks and says "I think I'd like to duel him myself." I, in a show of mock jealousy reply "hey, what about me, you still have to duel me first" with a faint chuckle giving away the obviousness of my fake jealousy, she replied "Sure thing, how about tomorrow" I nod and say "my Boat has a duel arena, private enough that I can use some of my more fun cards without revealing my secrets" she laughs and says "sure, I'll pop by after class" as we go our separate ways towards the land of bed.
I reach my boat, and after getting ready for bed, smile , glad that I've found another True friend.
AN – Changes - Buffed Mirror Gate a bit, Buffed Cthonian Blast a bit, made it a spell but with its trap effect. Don't think it makes another appearance anyway so it doesn't really matter.
Plot Change – Didn't have the duel interrupted , Gotta crush Chazz's confidence more as he already has the VWXYZ cards. Need him to hit Rock bottom. Oh, also gave Chazz the VWXYZ cards early, but yeah, obvious.
Edit mostly fixed spelling and grammar, chapter otherwise was fine.
