Chapter 3: The Queen of Machines
They opened the file... and the door burst open, causing Syrus to slam it shut and hide it in his desk drawer before he turned around to face a fellow Ra Yellow. Bastion Misawa. The raven haired, dark brown eyed, child prodigy raised an eyebrow.
"There you two are!" Bastion said in his english accent. "Chancellor Crowler's class is gonna start in ten minutes!"
"Shoot! I forgot!" Jaden exclaimed.
Syrus and Bastion stared at him oddly.
"What? Hey, I can't risk getting detention. I'll miss the Tag Team Competition comin' up. And I wanna compete."
Syrus shrugged before the three boys darted out of the dorm and towards Duel Academy's Main Building and into Crowler's classroom. They had just slided into their seats when the bell rang.
"Alright, settle down! Settle down!" barked Crowler, even though the room was as quiet as a Church Mouse.
"What put him in a bad mood?" whispered Syrus to Bastion.
Bastion frowned, "I think that new Freshman Slifer. Cloud Coleson."
Mokuba!? Syrus sighed. He's not doing a good job at keeping a low profile... Hopefully Takari - I mean- KARI can keep him under control. But I wonder what she's hiding from us... Might as well pay attention now.
Syrus' silver eyes looked up from his notebook and he felt his cheeks grow warm instantly. A girl had entered the classroom and they all recognized her at once. The Queen of Machines...
"Class, this is Alexa Maaka." Crowler said, grinning. "She's here to represent the American Duel Academy in the Tag Team Competion our school has recieved the honor to host. Her and her two apprentices will be competing with and against Duel Academy."
The dark chestnut brown haired girl with midlength hair styled like Nanobreaker's weakly smiled at the class. She had silver-blue eyes that were innocent and she was wearing a pair of reading glasses. She was just about Syrus' height too and she was wearing a uniform for people to know she was a representative. It was a pair of Storming Wynn like boots, a dark blue and white kneelength dress that resembled the Girls' Uniform, and a silver Storming Wynn like cloak with ADA written in green on the sleeve shoulder. Syrus smiled a half-smile at her and she returned it slowly.
"Alexa." Crowler said. "There seems to be no room in the Obelisk section." He spotted the only empty seat next to Syrus. "I guess you may sit in the Ra section." Crowler's beady black eyes narrowed. "Truesdale!"
Syrus jumped up immediatly, "Yes, Chancellor?"
"Alexa Maaka is going to be sitting next to you! Don't bother her!" barked Crowler.
"Yes, sir..." muttered Syrus, sitting back down.
Alexa made her way to the seat and sat down slowly and shyly.
The Queen of the Machines? Sitting next to me? Syrus thought, nervously. What if I screw up and she won't talk to me? What if I make a fool of myself? Argh!
"Excuse me?" Alexa said in a soft quiet voice, bringing Syrus back to reality.
"Yes?" Syrus whispered, "Alexa?"
"What's your name?" Alexa then asked, smiling.
"Syrus Truesdale." Syrus said, his nerves worsening.
"Well, I'm Alexa Maaka." Alexa whispered, holding her hand out under the desk so they can shake hands.
"I know." Syrus replied gently. "Crowler introduced you."
Alexa rolled her eyes, "That guy is weird." She giggled. "I mean, what is the deal with the lipstick?"
"No one knows!" laughed Syrus as loudly as he dared.
"You're nice." Alexa complimented. "I like nice boys. They're cool."
Does this mean she thinks I'm cool? Syrus asked himself hopefully.
Alexa pulled a strand of her dark chestnut brown hair behind her ear shyly, "Syrus?"
"Yes?" Syrus said, looking a little confused.
"Would you mind showing me Duel Academy?" Alexa asked sweetly. "I really haven't met anyone else who knows the place. My friend is a Freshman and she gets lost easily."
"Who's your friend?" Syrus asked. "And, okay. I'll show you around."
"Rae Andrews." Alexa explained.
"Guardian of the Dragons?" squeaked Syrus. "She's worse than Hassleberry!"
"Tyranno Hassleberry?" whispered Alexa. "He's known Rae since 2nd grade..."
"ARE YOU PAYING ATTENTION?!" demanded Crowler to the Slifers.
"Yes, sir!" They all chorused, straightening up in their seats.
Alexa and Syrus exchanged a look before they stared down at the man wearing purple lipstick, soft smiles on both of their lips. They had become friends. But could they possibly be more?
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"TY-RANN-O!" an enraged voice screamed as Bastion entered the Ra Dorms.
"What the-?" Bastion blinked before turning down a corridor.
Bastion froze when he saw Tyranno Hassleberry and a freshman Obelisk girl arguing. The girl had waistlength ebony black hair that was pulled into a ponytail in the middle of her back with a sky blue hairclip. Behind a pair of Avalanching Aussa like goggles were a pair of icy green eyes. She was barely shorter than Tyranno and just as menacing looking. Around her neck she wore a choker necklace with a silver carving of a Blackland Fire Dragon attached to a clasp. She was wearing a pair of kneehigh Avalanching Aussa like boots and she wore a pair black leggings with an Obelisk mini-skirt and top. A studded leather belt hung over one hip and you could see her deck case imprinted with a marking identical to the Blackland Fire Dragon choker necklace. Tyranno and the girl were going head on, when Bastion got a good look at her face, her recognized her.
Alison? Alison Raven Andrews? Dragon Guardian and Protector? Arguing? With the Sarge? Bastion's brain was apparantly on the slow side this morning. The Dinosaur DNA inside Tyranno activated and his eyes went like a T-Rex's. The girl notcied and smirked. Oh boy... here it comes.
"Oooo, macho man is finally comin' out!" she said sarcastically. "I'm so scared I'm trembling like a Petit Dragon..."
"Rae..." growled Tyranno, Rae smirked again.
"What?" she asked, blinking her icy green eyes innocently.
Tyranno's forest green-brown eyes went wide, "Oh no..." he said slowly. "That look won't work on me!"
Rae was smirking so much, Bastion thought her face was gonna freeze. She teasingly walked over to Tyranno and stood on tiptoe, so her lips were level with his. Tyranno was blood red and he kept on nervously stretching the collar of his green sleeveless shirt and sweatdropping. Rae smiled softly.
Whoa! Hold the phone! Is she gonna kiss me?! Tyranno thought embarrassed.
"Afraid it did." Rae whispered before shoving Tyranno into the wall and walking off.
Bastion chuckled as we walked over to Tyranno, who had slid down the wall and was sitting on the floor, his legs out.
"You alright, Sarge?" Bastion teased.
"Shut up Misawa." Tyranno growled, his eyes going T-Rex again.
Bastion rolled his eyes, "At least I don't get all worked up for a girl."
Tyranno blushed horribly as the older Ra walked away, chuckling.
"That Rae sure is something else." Bastion muttered. He stopped and turned around. "Hey! Sarge!"
Tyranno looked up, "What?"
"Why were you too fighting?" Bastion questioned, in puzzlement.
"Oh..." Tyranno rubbed the back of his neck. "Er... it was over the Tag Team Competition."
Bastion blinked, "Oh-kay."
"Look, we're going up against each other and it's pretty hard on us!" Tyranno nearly shouted, he lowered his voice and shifted his feet. "We've been pals for so long... and neither of us likes to loose."
Bastion walked towards the younger student and smiled reassuringly.
"That..." Bastion said slowly, he was smirking now. "And you like her!"
Tyranno was beet red, "Am I really THAT obvious!?" He hissed, he clamped his hands over his mouth. "I didn't mean to say that!"
"Don't worry," began Bastion. "Your secret's safe with me..."
Bastion walked away, Tyranno staring after him. He closed his forest green-brown eyes, smiling.
Thank you... Bastion. he thought.

Kari sighed as she stared at the ceiling of Jaden and Tyranno's dorm. Mokuba was outside for some strange reason and refused to tell Kari what he was up to. Her silver eyes gazing towards the open window. The early night was settling itself and Kari sighed again. Her dark brown locks falling down her shoulders. She closed her eyes and imagined herself back home, when she first aquired her deck.
A/N: Okay, so I spent all day creating Kari's deck. It's a complete OC deck, so don't kill me. And it's based of off Final Fantasy's Guardian Forces. So Disclaimer: I don't own anything related to Final Fantasy.
Flashback: 3 years ago
"Wow! Cool!" the twelve-year-old Kari said, she looked down at the cards displayed in the window of the Kame Game Shop and smiled. "These monsters are pretty awesome!"
Her hair wasn't as long, but it was still styled the same way. She was wearing kneehigh white boots, a black pleated skirt that went to her knees, and a white, yellow, and light pink top similar to a girl's that was currently standing in the shop with a blond haired boy with brown eyes and Yugi Moto. Kari was too shy to enter the shop, so she continued admiring the cards outside.
The reddish-brown haired girl with bright earth green-silver eyes looked out the window and saw a girl that looked like her somewhat. Their hair style's were exactly the same and they were wearing similar tops.
"Joey..." she whispered, nudging him. "Look at that girl."
Joey Wheeler did so, his mouth dropping open. Out of sheer curiosity, Yugi looked over as well. He felt his mouth drop as well.
"Serenity! She looks exactly like ya!" Joey spat out.
Serenity Wheeler wandered over to the door and opened it.
"Hello." she said to Kari, who jumped and turned pink.
"I-I'm sorry, ma'am..." Kari stuttered, "I wasn't doing anything I wasn't suppossed to!"
Serenity smiled, "It's okay, you did nothing wrong. Why don't you come inside?"
Kari looked relunctant at first, but she smiled before walking inside the shop. Yugi and Joey exchanged a look as Kari nervously curtsied.
"Hiya!" Yugi said at once, he held out his hand and Kari shook it. "I'm Yugi! What's your name?"
"K-Kari..." the dark brunette stammered, her silver eyes wide.
Soloman Moto came out from the back of the shop and saw Kari shyly looking towards the display window.
"Ah... I see the Guardian Forces have caught a young duelist's eye!" Soloman chuckled, he went to the window and removed the nineteen GF's and the twenty-one spell and trap cards. "Do you wish to purchase it?"
Kari looked at her feet, "I only have a little money."
Serenity kneeled down and extended her hand, Kari dug out the money from her pockets and came up ten dollars short. To everyone's surprise, Serenity gave Kari another ten dollars.
"There ya go, sweetums." Serenity said gently. "Now you can by the deck that you've been admiring for so long."
Kari looked into Serenity's eyes, "I-I don't know how to thank you."
Serenity placed both arms on the younger girl's shoulder's. "Simple, become the your best."
Kari broke into a grin, paid for the deck, put it in her almost empty deckcase and pulled out a card. She handed it out to Serenity.
"Here," she said shyly. "It's a card I made for a contest but never submitted."
Serenity took it slowly and carefully, she read the cardname. "Serenity's Blessing?"
"Yep..." Kari smiled. "I want you to have it."
Serenity looked at a good sketch of an older versioned Kari. But it looked like Serenity in angel form. She took the card and held it to her heart.
"Thank you very much, Kari." Serenity whispered.
Kari waved goodbye, "See ya! Bye Yugi! Bye Joey!"
Serenity Wheeler watched the young twelve-year-old skip happily down the street and turn down another. She looked at Serenity's Blessing before placing it in her very own deckcase which contained the deck she was building. A soft smile on her lips...
End of Flashback: The Slifer Dorms
"Ahh!" Kari exclaimed as somebody grabbed her arm, she grabbed the person and flipped them.
"KARI!" a very surprised voice yelped. "OW!"
Kari's hands flew up to her mouth and she stared at the boy she had flipped and had landed on a fluffy and comfortable sleeping bag on his head. His dark eyes glaring at her.
"Sorry!" Kari exclaimed, rushing to him and pulling him upright. "Just don't sneak up on me!"
"Who taught ya to flip people like beanbags?" demanded a very annoyed Mokuba Kaiba.
Kari sheepishly laughed, "My Mamaw."
AN OLD LADY TAUGHT HER GRANDDAUGHTER TO KARATE FLIP PEOPLE?! COOL! Mokuba thought. He blinked his eyes as he stared at Kari's face. DANG! I'M DOING IT AGAIN!
Mokuba's mind filled with chibi images. This particular one was one involving a dance. Chibi-Mokuba was talking to Chibi-Kari and Chibi-Mokuba brought out a flower and handed it to her. Chibi-Kari's eyes became hearts and she glomped Chibi-Mokuba, telling him she would love to goto the dance with him and become his girlfriend. Chibi-Mokuba looking lovestruck. Kari poked Mokuba hard in the side and he snapped out of it.
"What?!" he hissed.
"What's with the psychotic look?" demanded Kari. "You looked really creepy and murderous. Not to mention spaced out."
Mokuba rubbed the back of his neck, "Sorry, I need to stop doing that."
"I'll say." Kari rolled her eyes. She stood up and looked at her digital black watch. "I gotta go."
"You want me to walk you to your dorm?" Mokuba asked hopefully.
Kari turned pink in her cheeks, "Well, uh, sure."
Mokuba hopped up and opened the door, Kari walked through it, muttered a thank you, and kept walking. Mokuba shut the door and followed her down the metal stairs and towards the big white bridge. They crossed it slowly and Kari walked with her hands folded in front of her. She was tongue-tied.
Why can't I suddenly not talk to him?! Kari thought bitterly. It's just Mokuba... but then there's the whole thing where I've always been shy around people I've just met. That's gotta be it!
A softer voice argued, You know that's not true, Takari... you're devoloping feelings for Mokuba. Watch, in a few weeks, you'll be head over heels for him. He's the most amazing guy you've ever met. Heck, he might feel the same way... he acts like it.
He does not! Kari argued with herself.
"Kari?" Mokuba said softly, she jerked her attention to the raven haired boy.
"Yesh?" Kari said, combining Yes and Yeah.
"I hope Seto doesn't find me..." whispered Mokuba.
Kari stared at him, a loss for words. All she could do was stare at Mokuba with a deep sorrow for his pain.
What was she to do?
