Chapter 8 – Table flipping Koalas
AN – Preamble – I do not own Yugioh , Yugioh Arc V, Yugioh GX, Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha, or any of it save for any of my OC's
Waking up in the morning, feeling an arm wrapped around me, I turn my head around and smile, seeing Fate there. "It wasn't a dream" I hear her mutter. I chuckle and say "Well, it could be a dream come true, as you are my dream girl" I smile Fate hugs me tighter. I yawn and say "So, what crazy plans do we have for the day?" Fate shrugs and says "Wander around and see what shows up?" I nod. "Back in a minute, grabbing a shower" I climb out of bed, grab some clothes and have a quick shower , coming down to find Fate watching TV. "Says here that one of the champs is in the area, wanna look around?" Fate asks me. I nod and say "You'll have to duel him, I still feel kinda light-headed. Did I use too much duel energy to destroy that evil card?" She says "I Don't know, but it's likely." I nod and say "I'd do it a billion times over, I got to save my most precious person." She blushes and says "I love you, just going to have a shower." I nod and say "Love you too, just going to check my servers then I'll start breakfast." Fate heads off to the shower.
I walk over to my main computer and say "Computer, Silent input mode, 5 minutes" and the confirmation comes up on screen. I access a site I had saved, for when I found Fate. 22 Carat Diamond engagement band. I set it to order, I'll find a good time to propose. The order will arrive in several days.
I go and make breakfast, and Fate comes down, dressed and ready for breakfast. We eat our bacon, because Bacon is great for breakfast, and grab our gear to head out. Fate yells out "Lockdown" and the computer replies "Lockdown is still engaged, only Fate Testarossa and Kamito Kaiba are able to enter or leave." Fate nods and says "right, lets go". We both have our capes on, though I lack my mask and goggles, and have done since I got my precious person back.
Heading out towards the main building, Fate overhears Jaden's exceptionally loud tones "Yo, we prepared Chumley well, He'll totally be able to beat his Dad today so he can stay here" interesting gossip, we then overhear Syrus say "It'll still be tough, his Dad is the Australian Champion." I shudder, before uncharacteristically yelling out "EVIL HOT SAUCE MAN!" Jaden hears me and comes over to us , saying "Chumley's dad is an evil hot sauce man?" Fate nods, saying "He makes hot sauce that literally melts through tables. I duelled him ages ago, the very smell of that guys hot sauce almost made Kamito throw up." I shudder "Should be illegal" Fate hugs me and says "It's OK, the bad hot sauce man isn't here." I smile. Fate replies "Oi, Jaden, when is Koala-san facing his Dad?" I chuckle at Fate's nickname for Chumley. "After lunch, Couldn't get him to duel without lunch." I shake my head and say "Watch, Fate?" She nods, and says "Maybe I can see if he's improved over the years, He was kinda easy to beat back then." Jaden laughs and says "I'll show you where the match will be after lunch then?" We both nod and he runs off at speed.
"Always on the move that one" I say, casually. Fate laughs and says, "Yeah, he doesn't slow down" We wander around a bit, giving Fate a chance to explore and look around, before we head back to the boat for lunch.
Eating a quick lunch, Just some simple Sandwiches, crisps and fruit, nothing too fancy, we decide to head towards the Slifer dorm
Jaden spots us and yells "Match is this way, should be starting in a minute" We nod and Fate replies "Gotcha, we'll follow you". We follow Jaden to a large room, and I try my best to hide behind Fate at the sight of Evil Hot Sauce Man. We hear an argument going on
"Remember kid, you lose, you're stuck with me bottling Hot Sauce!" I cringe, I wouldn't wish that punishment on even Chazz. Fate yells out "Koala-san, you can't lose, having to be around all that Hot sauce would be worse than dying!" Mr Huffington hears this and yells out "YOU! You two are the ones who hate my Hot sauce." Fate shrugs and says "And you're the champion that I beat in a single turn, what of it." Syrus yells out "In a single turn, a champion? Is Fate really that good" I laugh and say "Better. She's literally the only person to ever defeat me." Fate nods and says "That reminds me, we'll have to duel again when you're fit" I smile and say "Yeah, definitely." Chumley and his Dad are arguing about the duel, before Fate yells "Just get on with it!"
"DUEL" Both Koala-san and Mr Huffington yell
Duel Start – Chumley – 4000 LP - Mr Huffington – 4000 LP
"You can go first kid, You'll need it" Mr Huffington mocks.
"I'll win, and I'll stay here with my friends!" Chumley replies forcefully.
Turn 1 – Chumley
"I Draw!"
"I summon Des Koala in Attack Mode!"
Des Koala – Level 3 – Beast/Dark/Effect – 1100 Atk/1800 Def
FLIP: Inflict 400 damage to your opponent for each card in their hand.
I hear the sound of hand hitting face, and repeat the gesture myself, saying to Fate "Wanna bet he'll lose because of not getting that flip effect, when he would have won if he'd used it?" Fate nods and says "I thought the same, hence the facepalm."
Mr Huffington laughs and says "Attack Mode, no wonder you're in the loser dorm, Des Koala has a flip effect that could have taken a chunk out of my life points, you're already handing me the win, I guess you WANT to come home and bottle hot sauce"
Fate turns to me and says "Hot Sauce that melts through a wooden floor shouldn't be ingested by humans"I nod at that, having seen the hole in the floor.
Jaden yells out "It's just one mistake Chum, don't give up!" Chumley snaps out of his funk and ends his turn.
Turn 2 – Mr Huffington
"I Draw!"
"I summon Dizzy Tiger in Attack mode"
Dizzy Tiger – Beast-Warrior/Earth/Effect – 1800 Atk/600 Def
Negate the effect of face-down Defence Position Flip Effect Monsters attacked by this card.
Turning to Fate, I say "Fate, didn't one of us duel this guy before. I remember seeing these odd cards" Fate nods and says "Yeah, Clear Wing won it for me. It wasn't a championship match though. But with that thing's effect, Des Koala's flip wouldn't have got off." I shrug and say "Book of Taiyou? Either way, face down would have saved him 700 damage"Fate nods at this
"Dizzy Tiger, Attack Des Koala"
Chumley LP 4000 – 700 = 3300
"I end my turn" Fate whispers "Is he holding back?" I shrug
Turn 3 – Chumley
"I draw." Chumley growls out
"I activate Koala March, this lets me revive a Des Koala from my grave, and special summon another from my hand!"
Koala March - Select 1 Level 4 or lower "Koala" monster in your Graveyard, and Special Summon it. Then, you can Special Summon 1 monster with the same name from your hand.
Fate whispers "Advance Summon, Big Koala?" I nod at the likely outcome
"I release the Des Koala's to summon their older brother, BIG KOALA!"
Big Koala – Beast/Earth/Normal - 2700 Atk/2000 Def
"Big Koala, attack Dizzy Angel!"
Mr Huffington Life 4000 – 900 = 3100

Turn 4 – Mr Huffington
"I draw"
"I Summon Dizzy Angel!"
Dizzy Angel – Fairy/Earth/Effect – 1800 Atk/400 Def
This card is not destroyed by the effect of "Flipping the Table".
I whisper to Fate "So he's about to use his board wipe, and then throw out a direct attack" She nods and says "This is clear example of why you run Anti-destruction cards!" I smile and agree
Back with Mr Huffington "I play Hot Sauce Bottle!"
Hot Sauce Bottle - Normal Magic - When this face-up card is destroyed and sent to the Graveyard, inflict 500 damage to your opponent.
"Next I play FLIPPING THE TABLE!" He plays the card, and then literally flips a table with brute strength? Fate asks me "Action field?" I shake my head and say "Dramatic effect? This is the sort of thing you see in Anime." She laughs and says "Yeah"

The Hot Sauce bottle and Giant Koala (Chumley's older brother?) are destroyed, and Chumley takes the splash of hot sauce. I whisper to Fate "Remind me to never action duel this guy, that'd suck with real solid vision" Fate nods, saying "Melted bones"
Chumley LP 3300 – 500 = 2800
"I attack directly with Dizzy Angel!"
Chumley LP 2800 - 1800 = 1000
"I end my turn!"

Master of Oz – Level 9/Beast/Fusion/Earth/Effect - 4200 Atk/3700 Def
"Big Koala" + "Des Kangaroo"
"ATTA BOY CHUM" Jaden yells. I shrug before Fate says "He has to end it in this turn.. He needs an attack booster, like Wild Natures Release or something" I nod in agreement
Mr Huffington says "As things are, its over, all it takes is a flip of the table"
Chumley yells out "Master of Oz, attack Dizzy Angel, Outback Attack!"
Mr Huffington LP = 3100 - 2400 = 700
"I end my turn!"

"I activate 2 Hot Sauce Bottles" And that's that

Both Hot Sauce bottles explode and pour over Chumley. Fate winces, saying "Yep, Never action duel that guy. That's just cruel and unusual punishment."
Chumley LP 1000 – 500 – 500 = 0
DUEL END – Winner Mr Huffington
"Well Kid, a deals a deal, better get packing" Mr Huffington says, chuckling "Not surprised you didn't win though, I was a national champ." Fate and I step out of where we were observing and Fate says "Duelling isn't the only major course at the academy. With a bit more talent in that area, Koala-san would be a great designer, I've seen some of his art in class" I nod at that and say "He could already Rival Fate and I in terms of Artwork, He just needs the extra skill to know what makes a good card, to be able to design them" Mr Huffington shrugs and says "Hey, you're the two who hate my Hot sauce!" I nod at that , muttering "If it was Militarised it'd be outlawed." "Mr Huffington continues "I'll agree to let him stay, as your points have merit, if one of you two duel me and win!" Fate looks to me and says "You aren't clear for a few more days after your injury right Kamito" I nod and waving towards him and say "He's all yours then" Fate grins and says "Saving a promising career potential, I can live with that
Duel Start - Fate -4000 LP - Mr Huffington – 4000 LP
I pull out a coin and say "Your call my love" Smiling at Fate, She yells "Heads" I flip the coin, revealing a tails. Fate says "Damn" and Mr Huffington says "You first then, I know you're one of those ultra aggressive types" Fate shrugs.

DUEL END – Winner – Fate
Mr Huffington grumbles something about Overpowered kids, before saying "Well Congratulations Chumley, Better work hard and not make me reconsider it., and you two, get over your dislike of Hot Sauce." I grumble "Prefer having my insides stay as insides.." Before losing balance and starting to fall. I feel Fate catch me, and she says "Steady, you're not 100% yet, take it easy." before she turns to the others and says "Getting him back to the Boat, Have fun." It takes us half an hour at our current pace, but we reach the boat, with Fate opening the door for me. She helps me over to the couch, and then heads to the kitchen, grabbing us both a drink and some cake. "Never figured you'd be against an old opponent that happened to be a regional champ today." I say. She shrugs and says "Eh, Never figured we'd end up saving Des Koala's little brother's potential career, but the kid does have talent with his art. Not quite up to the standards of our Dragons, but up to the standard of the usual high grade card art. All he lacks is the design skills for mechanics, which he'd gain by experience and duelling skill." I nod at that, and we continue to just chat away, Fate entirely unaware of what I ordered for her this morning. Finishing our food and drink, Fate asks "Want to go lay down together until Dinner time?" I nod and hug Fate, who helps me over to our bed, and then climbs in next to me, cuddling up to me. I turn to her, giving her a quick kiss, before saying "This is one of the best feelings ever, y'know?" She says "Hmm?" I smile and say "This, no pressure, no duel academy, no outside world, this is my heaven, being with you." Fate blushes up a storm and says "Yeah, I agree". We snuggle up closer, and drift off.
AN – New Chapter - Yayifications! Losing all my work made me lose my muse for ages, so I stopped writing for a while. Reading through the story again on my phone made me see it needed rewriting, which got me back into it a bit. Changed the way Chumley is looked at, but he won't get any real duelling development until the end of series 1, where he gains a modicum of talent.
Went with Hot Sauce instead of Sake, because Sake is tasty and Hot Sauce burns.
I do have a strange way of writing these. I do the duels first, and then write the chapter afterwards, fitting in the bits during the duels, then the before, then the afterwards
