Chapter Nine: Unfinished Business! Red Vs. Yellow
It was the day of Kisho duel against Nero, and he had spent all night working on his deck. Though he still hadn't figured out what he needed to do to fix his problems with wasting resources, he worked at it hoping that he instinctively knew what to do.
Gellert yet out a yawn as he jumped off the top bunk and walked over to Kisho. "What you doing?"
"Hmm, oh you're up. I was just working on my deck," Kisho said putting the last of the cards together. "There I think that about does it."
"We haven't even been here a week yet and you're already tweaking your deck?" Gellert questioned.
"Yeah, well after watching Nero duel against Caden, I figured I better be ready for Nero," Kisho stated as he put his completed deck into his deck box, and put his belt on.
"You going to head over to the Ra Yellow arena already?" Gellert asked.
"Already? The Duel starts in an hour…where's your sense of time?"
"Hey I was sleeping…" Gellert walked back to the bed, "Anyways, I'm going to catch a quick nap before the Duel, set the alarm there for me to go off in half an hour."
"Yes master," Kisho walked up to the Kuriboh alarm clock and set it before leaving Gellert, who somehow in the short span managed to fall back asleep.
"Gellert," he mumbled as he closed the door to the room.
Once Kisho footsteps were gone, Gellert quickly got up and made his way to his backpack. He pulled out a cell phone and quickly dialed a number.
He waited for the person on the other line to pick up.
"It's me."
Gellert paused as the person spoke.
"Yes, today's the day they Duel so I should have an answer by the time the dust settles."
The person on the line responded.
"Yeah, I know but I have a good feeling about this so leave it to me."
The person on the other line responded.
"Hey, have I ever failed before? Didn't think so. So leave it to me," Gellert hung up the phone. "Boob."

On his way to the arena, Kisho sent Caden and Mercy a quick message to meet him in the Ra Yellow Cafeteria. They at least deserve to know why I've been moping around these past couple of days, especially Mercy.
As Kisho approached the cafeteria he was surprised to see Mercy and Caden already there. "Wow you guys got my message fast."
"Actually we got an email from your tutor Arnia an hour ago that said to meet her here," Mercy stated.
"You did? How did she get your PDA addresses?" Kisho asked.
"I thought you gave them to her, I was going to yell at you," Mercy stated.
"That doesn't matter," Caden calmly responded. "You ready?"
"As ready as I'll ever be," Kisho sighed. "I don't think there was ever a time I was nervous about a Duel."
"You nervous?" Mercy was surprised. "Are you feeling okay?" asked.
Kisho shook his head.
"Come to think of it, you have been acting weird all week," Mercy rubbed her chin. "You're not thinking that you're going to lose are you?"
"I did," Kisho stated bluntly.
"What, you thought about losing?" Mercy was taken aback.
"I'll tell you why," Arnia stated as she walked up to the group.
"Arnia-Sensei! Wait let me tell them."
"Its okay," Arnia declared, "Besides there is something you should know."
"Nero knows about my decks fatal flaw," Kisho stated calmly.
"What? He never told me he told you!"
"Wait, you talked to Nero?" Caden questioned.
"Yeah it was right after we finished our tutor class that day," Arnia stated.
"What?"
"Yeah, he overheard us discuss your deck," Arnia stated.
"Wait back up!" Mercy heaved, "What flaw? And how could you let it slip to Kisho's arch rival his deck has a flaw?!"
"Well I wouldn't call him my arch enemy, heck I don't know the real reason why he has a grudge against me anyway," Kisho stated.
"That doesn't matter," Caden cleared his throat, "What does matter is that he knows about your deck flaw and how you waste a lot of your resources."
"Yeah your-wait you know about that?"
"Of course, I watched you Duel Mercy didn't I," Caden stated. "You mean to tell me, you had Arnia tell you about your decks flaw?"
"Yeah I didn't know it had one…" Kisho voice trailed off.
He's deck is flawed; even still, he managed to hold his own against me, heck he probably would have wiped me out! Mercy thought as she looked at Kisho. "Don't worry, let me have a look see if I can fix it!"
"No," Arnia interjected. "This is for Kisho to figure out, I let him know about his deck wasting resources, but not exactly what I mean," she let out a sigh, "This is one of the reason's I didn't want to tell you."
"What about the other one, about Duelist targeting me?"
"That's true, you see because Nero went through the trouble of a Duelist Request Form, this is an official school duel meaning it effects your rank," Arnia looked away.
"And seeing as I have the lowest rank in the school…"
"If you lose here, you might get shipped back home."
"WHAT?!" Mercy. "What kind of fou made up that rule?"
"Don't worry, I won't lose," Kisho determination could be seen in his eyes.
"You've figured out your decks weakness! Then you've got nothing to worry about!" Mercy nodded with a grin on her face.
"Actually I didn't, but I can't back down now, I'll duel like I always have, that's what got me into the Academy and that what's going to keep me here," Kisho stated.
"Okay someone seriously let me fix his deck," Mercy groaned.
"Don't worry, he's got it," Arnia reached into her pocket and pulled out two card, and handed it to Kisho. "I think these will really help you out, heck it may give you a hint to the problem with your deck.
Kisho took the cards, "Thanks, but I thought you said no help."
"I lied, you better get going."
"Kay, you guys are going to be rooting right?"
"Of course!" Mercy stated, "Don't forget we're teammates now, so don't go and lose now!"
"And don't forget about our Duel at the open house," Caden pointed out.
"Right!" Kisho stated running towards the Ra Yellow Battle Arena. "Thanks Arnia," he staring at the two cards she gave him.
"So when are you going to tell him?" Caden asked.
"Tell him what?" Arnia stated as Kisho ran into the building, they had decided to do the sensible thing and walk.
"That he can't get kicked out of the school because he lost one Duel, even with the lowest rank?"
"After he wins," Arnia smiled.
"Well if you ask me, I don't see any reason for Kisho to trust you," Mercy turned her back to Arnia, "You lied to him and besides what cards did you give him anyway!"

In the Ra Yellow arena, sat the Chancellor, and both Professor Tavarius and Professor Helm. Some of the arena chairs were filled with students due to the fact that during the weekend anyone could come here and Duel, but because of Nero's Duelist Request Form, he and Kisho were scheduled in so no one else would be Dueling.
"Should be an interesting match," the Chancellor noted.
"Yes, Chancellor," Professor Helm stated.
"Yes, seeing as one of my current Ra Yellow's is participating I doubt it will be too long a match," Professor Tavarius stated.
"Yes Nero is an exceptionally good Duelist, especially when it comes to thinking ahead," the Chancellor commented. "And this Slifer Red student…um what's his name?"
"Kisho Chancellor," Professor Helm answered, "He is currently the lowest rank of everyone in the school."
"The lowest rank Slifer Red vs. someone whose rank rivals those of third year students? That hardly seems fair," the Chancellor stated.
"Its completely fair," Professor Tavarius stated, "The Slifer accepted the match."
"Yes the same Slifer that beat you," Professor Helm noted.
"Y-yes that m-may be true but, he is getting tutored," Professor Tavarius declared.
"Yes, by a student Professor Tavarius recommended, Arnia I believe her name is," Professor Helm stated thinking back to that day.
"Oh yes, I know Arnia personally, she'll be a good tutor, I can see it in her eyes, she passionate about teaching," the Chancellor declared, "Heck I could see her as a Professor at the Academy one day."
"Yes well-"
"Look here they come now!" a student sitting above the Chancellor yelled as both Kisho and Nero appeared out of their respected hallways and made there way onto the arena.
Now its time, crush him Nero! Professor Tavarius stated with an evil smirk on his face.
At that same time Kisho and Nero was making they're way on the field, Arnia, Caden and Mercy had found a place to sit in the stands.
"It's go time now," Mercy stated.
"Yes, and Kisho better be careful," Caden looked down at the field.
Kisho and Nero were currently shuffling there decks, neither one was taking there eyes off the other.
"So Caden, you dueled this guy right?" Mercy asked.
"Yes and lost," Caden sighed, "In case you wondering, he uses at Beast-Type deck, but there's one combo that especially bad, it caught me completely off guard."
"It catches everyone off guard," Arnia stated. "Nero's very good at what he does and he put a lot of hard work into his deck. Though he comes off as a jerk he's really a nice guy at heart."
"So I'll take it by that response your cheering for Nero?" Mercy teased.
"Nope, I've got to take my students side," Arnia held her head down. "Kisho will show you all the hard work I did to make him a better Duelist!"
She sure isn't the modest type…and why did she complement Nero anyways? I don't trust this Arnia as far as I can throw her. Mercy thought staring intensely at Arnia who was focused on the arena.
Down on the field Kisho and Nero were still shuffling their decks.
"So tell me, did you bring the Slifer Shit I dueled that night?" Nero asked. "Or just that piece of shit from yesterday?"
"Neither, I brought the guy who's going to kick your ass," Kisho stated as he finished shuffling his deck and placed it in his Duel Disk activating it, Nero followed suit doing the same thing.
"Let do this!" Nero drew 5 cards, as Kisho did the same.
"Lets Duel!" They both yelled out at the same time.
"Since you started our last Duel, I'll take the honors of starting this one," Nero stated drawing his sixth card. "I'll start with Cost Down," Nero stated calmly, "By discarding one card from my hand, I can reduce the star rating of all cards by 2," Nero quickly discarded a card from his hand.
"Could it be Manticore of Darkness?" Kisho wondered.
"Next I'll summon this monster, normally I would cost me one monster but thanks to Cost Down, I doesn't require a single monster, so come forth Twinheaded Beast (1700/1900)!" Nero's beast appeared on the field in a flash, it had two head and snarled at Kisho.
"Starting off strong I see," Kisho noted.
"And what if I am?" Nero stated as he placed a card on the field hidden behind his monster.
"Nothing at all!" Kisho stated drawing a card from his deck giving him 6. I still haven't figured out what's wrong with my deck, but if Arnia gave me 2 cards, then that must mean I'm close to figuring it out. Problem is I can't worry about that now, I've got to Duel like I always have if I'm going to beat Nero, and looking at his field he's probably got something already planned.
"You going to move?"
"I'll move!" Kisho stated, "And I'm going to use a few new cards I added to my deck! So first I'll start off with White Magician's Pikeru (1200/0) in attack mode!" Kisho stated as his cute little mage appeared on the field. "And now I'll equip my mage with Trial of the Princesses this will increase its attack by 800 points!" Kisho mage began to glow as it attack power increased to 2000.
"Hmm, that's the same combo Arnia uses," Nero whispered to himself. She must be serious about tutoring this Slifer Shit.
"Now attack White Pixie Dust!" Kisho yelled as his monster fired a ball of Pixie dust at the Twinheaded Beast with instantly destroyed the monster and reduced Nero's Life Points by 300 to 7700.
"Looks like Kisho took an early lead!" Mercy stated.
"Yes, but Nero's not finished not by a long shot," Caden stated.
"Now to show you my cards special ability, I can swap out my White Magician's Pikeru, in her current form to summon her stronger version, and this one's coming from my deck!" Kisho stated as his Pikeru began to glow, her cloths started to change to that of a Princess and she held a royal cane in her hand. "Say hello to Princess Pikeru (2000/0)!"
"Big deal, its attack power is still the same," Nero stated.
"Well, that's why I'm setting these two hidden," Kisho stated two cards appeared on the field behind his Princess. "I'm done."
"Okay," Nero drew a card from his deck, "Now I'll match your monster with one of my favorites," Nero placed the card down on the Duel Disk as Berserk Gorilla (2000/0) appeared on the field in all its glory beating its chest. "Now I'll play Pot of Greed," Nero drew 2 cards. "Next I'll play two cards of the fang!" He placed both cards in his Duel Disk the first set of fangs appeared in Berserk Gorilla's mouth, making it look more ferrous. The second appeared as a Spell Card, named Poison Fangs.
"Okay this is weird," Kisho stated. Then he noticed Berserk Gorilla's attack increased by 300 and its defense increased by 200 making its attack 2300 and its defense 200.
"Now as you can see the first card is a power boost for my Berserk Gorilla, the second will come into play in a minute, now attack Berserk Gorilla!" Nero's monster let out a flame that incinerated Kisho's Princess and cost him 300 Life Points in the process, dropping him to 7700 tied with Nero.
"What a way to go," Kisho sighed as the ashes of his monster blew away.
"Next," Nero stated, "Poison Fangs will drain you of 500 Life Points because of the battle damage you took at the hands of my Beast." All of a sudden huge fangs appeared on the field, they were dripping with poison.
"Shit!" Kisho yelled bracing himself as the fangs flew towards him and bit him. He yelled out in pain as he felt some of the poison ether his body, his Life Points dropped by another 500 to 7200. Damn, that felt weird, almost real. Kisho winched as he felt a chill go all the way through his body.
"This is what I meant," Caden stated. "Nero is always thinking of the next move, and in Kisho case that's bad."
Mercy looked a little nervous. "D-don't worry Kisho will pull through."
"I'm done so take your turn," Nero stated calmly.
"Fine," Kisho drew a card from his deck and looked at it. His eyes went a little blurry. I don't get it, I feel like I really am poisoned but that's impossible. "Okay, time for a little Ritual Summoning action!" Kisho stated as he shook his head. "I'll activate my Black Luster Ritual!" Kisho stated placing the card in his Duel Disk. "Now all I have to do is give up monster equal to 8 star levels and I can summon the Black Luster Soldier (3000/2500) to the field!" Kisho quickly discarded the only other card in his hand.
The Ritual Spell started to glow as smoked bellowed out onto the field, when the smoke finally died down, Kisho's monster was on the field, ready for battle.
"That's one tough monster," the Chancellor gasped at the monster strength. "This Slifer, for a low ranking student is good."
"Yeah, where Nero is a strategist, Kisho more Duels on the fly I noticed," Professor Helm stated.
"Yeah, but I'm going to have to go with Nero winning this," Professor Tavarius stated with a nod.
"Looks like you haven't learn have you?" Nero stated.
"Learned?" Is he talking about my decks fatal flaw, but what does he mean…
"Black Luster Soldier, attack now!" Kisho yelled as his monster jumped into the air it slashed through Nero's gorilla destroying it and reducing Nero's Life Points to 7000. "And with that I'll call it a turn."
"Fine then my move," Nero stated drawing a card. "I'll place a hidden monster on the field, and finish with that," a card appeared on the field horizontally signaling that it was a monster in hiding.
"Okay then!" Kisho stated drawing a card. I've got him on the ropes; all I've got to do is take down out his hidden monster. "Attack Black Luster Soldier, slice his hidden card to pieces!" The Black Luster Soldier ran over to Nero's card slashing it, it revealed itself as a huge plant.
"You triggered my hidden monster, Fiber Jar!" Nero stated.
"Fiber Jar? What does that do?"
"Simple we reunite our hand, deck, field and graveyard, shuffle them and redraw 5 cards, think of it as a do over," Nero stated calmly as he returned all his card back to his deck and shuffled it, he quickly drew 5 cards.
"Okay then," Kisho stated returning his Black Luster Soldier to his deck, along with his hidden cards on the field and the graveyard, he quickly shuffled them back together and drew 5 cards.
Okay, I don't know what kind of stunt Nero is trying to pull but restarting the Duel, which definitely threw my game off. I guess I'll regroup and start over.
Now the fun begins, I'll prove to everyone here Kisho's victory over Professor Tavarius was a fluke, and clear the Professor's name. Kisho Takai you're going down!
