Chapter 7
It has been a week since Azula has officially joined Duel Academy. During the seven days period, she spent one hour every morning, before anyone was awake, training in the forest which is slowly taking her back to shape. On her free time, she spent most of her time studying about this new world. Thanks to the school library and what they called 'internet' and 'computer', and thanks to Asuka, she learnt to use them (which was the first thing she found hard to learn) she has gathered information all the way from technology to different cultures and languages, which was only one back in her world. School time was nothing impressive but she was always up for learning new things. She had no problem learning them; she learnt most things the first time she was taught. What amused her most was the PE classes, it was kind of fun outrunning everyone in most sports and when she says most she means it, some of these sports needed real skill and experience. The easiest for her was the dodge ball. A portion of her life is spent dodging fireballs and earth boulders, some harmless rubber balls which was way slower than fireball and boulders, was nothing she couldn't effort to dodge and her targeting was perfect.
Right now she is in one of her PE sessions called 'tennis'. These PE classes were a good sport for students on this island, who spent most of their time playing a card game. Her opponents were Asuka and another Obelisk Blue girl and her partner was a girl named Ran Kochou. She had a ridiculously ridiculous hairstyle and equal ridiculous clothing that she didn't even bother describing to herself. Right now their scores was tie, no thanks to her partner.
"ASUKA." she heard someone yell. She looked at Asuka to see a ball going toward her at a fast pace. Clearly she couldn't dodge it. Just then another teen dashed and redirected the ball. She followed the ball with her eyes to see it hit the he/she right in the eye, making her wince. "Looks like someone can target better than me." She thought with an amused smile on her face. Her two friends were with her and the savior was walking away with a silly smile on his face and swinging his bat left and right.
"Are you alright?" She asked as she went to Asuka.
"Yeah, I am OK." Asuka answered.
"Do you want to continue?"
"Yeah, I am fine."
They continued their game which Azula eventually lost, no thanks to a certain someone. But she had to admit, while Asuka wasn't quite skilled her partner was something else. She figured, since she started living here, she didn't take her loses badly. Maybe it is because there is no one to try her best for. She shakes her head to clear her thoughts and went to change her clothes. After she changed in her uniform and saw the Obelisk trio in the hallways.
"Hey, guys."
"Hey, Azula." Junko said.
"So, which lucky guy is it this time?"
"What do you mean?"
"Do I need to spell it out? Every time the three of you are talking in the hallways, it is always about new gossip about certain boys."
The girls all chuckled at that. "It is about that tennis player that saved Asuka."
"Told you." She said facing Asuka.
"Hey, we are not gossiping…" Junko said holding her hands on her hips. "At least not this time, we are helping Asuka."
"Oh, so someone is interested in the knight in shining armor." She said teasingly to Asuka.
"For the last time guys, I don't need help." Asuka said.
"Yeah, she has got it all covered." Azula teased which made Asuka's face red.
"I am not interested in that guy. OK"
"Yeah, yeah, I know. You are interested in someone else." Azula teased again.
Asuka's face was now tomato red now. She growled at the laughing girls. "Like these two weren't enough for me." She muttered.
"So what is this about the tennis player?" Azula asked.
"We found out that he is Mitsuru Ayanokouji ,a third year Obelisk Blue, he is charge the tennis club and also heir of Ayanokouji Motors." Momoe said.
"He is just another rich Obelisk who is good at tennis. So what?" Asuka said.
"What do you mean 'so what'? He is not just another Obelisk. He is an heir to a big company, good looking and a really good duelist. You gotta go for him." Junko said, more like demanded. The good duelist part got Asuka's attention.
"Yeah, there are rumors about him being as good as Marufuji Ryou." Momoe added.
Just then they saw Sho running up left and right in the hallways. "Oh, no. Oh, no. Oh, no. Oh, no. Oh, no. Oh, no. Oh, no. Oh, no. Oh, no." and he kept repeating that.
"What is up with him?" Momoe said.
"He is very noisy." Junko said pissed.
"I am sorry. But do you know where the tennis club is?" Sho asked running without moving. (If it was possible)
"The tennis club is playing at the court; they might be at the court right now." Asuka answered.
"Thank you Asuka-san." and with that began running again.
"Hey, at least you could tell us what is going on." Junko yelled after him.
A second later Sho came back still running without moving. "Judai-aniki is blamed for the ball incident and Cronos-sensei is making him to have a private practice with the tennis club captain." And he began running again.
"Is he talking about Ayanokouji-san?" Momoe asked.
"I don't know. Want to find out?" Junko said and Momoe nodded. They run after Sho.
Asuka and Azula wanted to follow when someone called them. "Asuka-san, Azula-san." Asked Daitokuji. Professor Daitokuji is a very tall man with long black hair that is tied in a ponytail, a portion of his hair has fallen on two side of his face. He is head of Osiris Red dorm, also the alchemy teacher. He is wearing a pair of square glasses and often carries a fat pet-cat around.
"Daitokuji-sensei, what do you need?" Asuka asked.
"Nothing much, I just wanted to tell you about Jun-Kun."
"Marufuji-san? Do you know where he is?"
"Actually, I don't know where he is, one of the students informed me of him. He was last seen at the docks."
"Does that mean he has left the island?"
"Hmm, I can't say for sure. Jun-Kun is a stubborn kid; I don't think he would leave before getting even." With that he left and the girls made their way to the tennis court.
"What is all this about this Jun kid?" Azula who was quit until now asked.
"Jun-san used to be an Obelisk Blue student."
"Used to be?" Azula said in a questioning tone.
"Yeah, he lost a duel to a Ra student and was demoted from Blue to Yellow."
"In other words, he was weak, right?"
"Actually no. he was a better duelist than most other Obelisk students, but unlike the rest of them, his losses was out in the open."
Azula nodded, that did make sense. As long as you act strong no one knows you are weak. But even if you are a strong person, your losses will humble you.
They arrived at the court to see Judai lying on the ground from exhaustion. Clearly he was not made for physical activities, that or he is running drills for a certain captain. Asuka picked up the ball which was now in front of her feet and went toward Judai. Junko called her but she didn't respond. Upon hearing her name the tennis captain rushed her.
"Hey, Asuka-kun. To think you came to see-" but he was cut off when Asuka walked passed him without as much as a glance.
"Wow, poor kid was completely ignored." Sho muttered to himself.
"Seems like She has set her eyes on someone." Sho jumped in the air when he heard Azula's voice from behind him and run to the other side of the Obelisk duo for cover.
"W-when d-did you g-get here?" Sho stuttered.
"What is with this guy? Do I have horns and fangs?" Azula said while mockingly touching the top of her head and examining her hands.
"Well, first impression is really important." Momoe said.
"THAT IS IT, you and I are going to duel." The tennis captain yelled.
"Hey, you know I don't back down from a duel but-" But Judai was cut off.
"Nuh-ah, you are not backing down. Like I said, we are going to duel and the winner is going to be Asuka-kun's fiancé."
"Woah, woah. Fiance? Slow down a bit, will you? What do you mean fiancé?" Judai said.
"He is such a gentleman, isn't he?" Momoe said impressed.
"Well, that is Aniki for you." Sho said.
"And what does 'fiancé' mean exactly?" Azula raised an eyebrow as everyone anime-dropped at that and she was positive that she heard someone face-palm.
Mitsuru quickly composed himself. "It doesn't matter if you know it or not but that is the deal and you have to duel."
"Well, since you are so fired up, I will take on your challenge." Judai said.
"Hey, wait a minute, don't I get a say in this?" Asuka said.
"Sorry Asuka-san, we will talk after the duel."
"Yeah, yeah. You will talk after the duel." Junko said with sly smile on her face while leading Asuka away.
"Let's see. Someone you are interested in and you are not interested in are dueling for your hand. How does it feel to have boys fight over you?" Azula said teasingly when Asuka was brought at the sidelines.
"Oh, please. Like I care what the boys do. And for the last time I am not interested in anyone." Asuka corrected herself this time. "And the only reason I-" she was cut off by Azula.
"Yeah, yeah, I know. 'I just want to see if the captain is as good as the rumors say'. What are with you people and your obsession with dueling?" Azula asked.
Asuka just chuckled at that. "She is right some people really are obsessed with dueling. Like I a one to talk." She thought to herself.
When Asuka didn't answer, Azula turned to leave. "Where are you going?" Junko asked when she saw Azula leaving.
"I am going to train a bit." Azula answered.
"Aren't you going to watch the duel?"
"Nah, not interested. The kid is going to win either way." With that he left the court to her usual fire-bending practice ground. Asuka by now knew why she goes out of the dorm that early in the morning. At the main hallways, four Obelisk students were talking to each other. One in particular was looking at Azula, a tall guy with blonde hair that was neatly combed to the back of his head and was tied in a small ponytail. A blonde haired boy with no special feature and another one with brown hair. The fourth one is big guy with black hair. All of them were wearing the normal Obelisk Blue uniform.
"Does she interest you?" The shorter boy with blonde hair asked the taller blonde.
The tall blonde didn't answer and watched until Azula was out of sight. He turned and started walking to the opposite side of which Azula went. "Let's go."
Azula trained for an hour before going back to her dorm room for a shower. When she was out of the bathroom, Asuka and her two friends were in the room.
"Hey, Azula." Junko said.
"Hey." Azula went in front of the mirror to comb her hair.
"Hey Azula. Do you wan-" Junko was cut off by Azula.
"No, I don't want to look like a clown." Azula said which made Momoe and Asuka to laugh and Juno to pout.
"How did you what I wanted to say? And for your information, I am really good at hairdressing." Junko said proudly.
"Yeah, I can see that." Azula said while pointing at Junko's hair.
"Oi, that was an insult, you know. I like my hairstyle." Junko said with her hands on her hips.
Azula ignored her and continued combing her hair. The larger portion of her hair was combed to her left which she used a simple black hair pin-a gift from Asuka-to keep in place. When she was done, she went to the other girls. Momoe's cards were lying on the bed-it was obvious with all the cute looking cards- and Asuka looking through them. "What are you doing?"
"Trying to modify Momoe' deck. Her cards are mostly weak and useless." Asuka answered.
"Hey, they are not useless." Momoe said clearly offended.
"Momoe, duel monsters is not a fairy land show, where the cutest characters win. You can't win with these cards."
"So, you like cute looking cards?" Azula thought for a few seconds. "Why don't you add 'giant orc'?"
"Eww, you sure have a weird taste. What part of that card is cute?" Momoe said in a disgusted tone.
Azula chuckled a bit. "I am just joking. Just use a fairy deck and be done with it. They are strong at least."
"Yeah, that might be a good idea." Asuka said.
"By the way, speaking of giants. Have you heard about the 'duel giant'?" Junko said.
"What is that, some kind of urban myth?" Azula asked.
"Actually I don't think it is just a simple urban myth. Some of the Obelisk boys have faced him and he takes the loser's best card. So far the victims are a few Obelisks."
"Hmm, I think he is an Osiris or Ra student that is picked on by Obelisks."
"Yeah, sounds reasonable." Asuka said. "But whoever he is should be careful. If the staff finds out who he is, he will be expelled immediately."
"How about a 'Harpie' deck?" Azula asked.
"Hmm? What?" Asuka who was deep in thought said.
"The deck. That is what you are doing now, right? How does a 'Harpie' deck sound?"
"Uh, yeah… well, a 'Harpie' deck is good and all…but it is hard to complete that deck. The cards to finalize it are very rare to find." Then she faced Momoe. "What do you say about a 'warrior' type deck?"
"Aren't they kind of…" Momoe said. "… You know."
Asuka was pissed by now. "Momoe, it is supposed to be 'Duel monsters', not 'duel cute kitties'."
"How about a 'fairy' type deck?" Junko suggested.
Momoe opened her mouth to say something but a hard look from Asuka cut her off. "Ah… yeah… I think I can go with that."
"Finally." Azula muttered.
"Ok. We should go shopping then." Asuka said and the Obelisk duo cheered. "We are shopping cards, not clothes, you know."
"Yeah, but it is still shopping." Both of her friends replied with huge smiles on their faces.
"You wanna come, Azula." Asuka asked her.
"No, I don't need anything." Azula answered.
"Ok. Momoe, Junko. Let's go." Asuka left with her to friends following eagerly.
Azula Lied on her bed and started thinking about her world, about everything she left behind. "I hope everything went as I planned, if not… I don't even want to think about what would happen. I just hope they are fine." Azula laughed a little to herself. "If everything went as I foresaw, they should be fine." She then remembered all the things she did before…that day. All the things she regretted doing to this day.
The next day on Duel Academy Island was similar to any other day, except for the rumors about this 'duel giant'.
"This duel 'duel giant' thingy is getting more serious by day. What would I do if he comes to duel me." Junko said with a shiver. "I don't even want to think about it."
"I don't he would come for any of the girls. Like I told you before he is probably taking back on the bullies." Azula reminded her.
"How are you so sure about it?" Momoe asked.
"I believe in what I say." Azula answered with a shrug.
"I think you are just overconfident." Junko said and Azula just shrugged.
"Guys, want to go to the compass?" Asuka suggested.
"The compass? For what?" Junko asked.
"Well, since we have nothing to do, we might as well watch some duels." Asuka said and her friends nodded. "You coming, Azula?"
"Yeah, it is not like I have anything better to do." Azula said standing up. They made their way to the compass where a brown haired Obelisk was facing against a short, very short black haired Ra student.
Obelisk: LP 200
Ra: LP 300
"It looks like the duel is coming to an end." Momoe said.
"And by the looks of it the Ra kid is going to lose." Azula said which surprise the Obelisk duo.
"What do you mean, all he has to do is attack and he will win the duel." Junko said.
"That is exactly what his opponent wants him to do." Azula said upon hearing the Obelisk and his friend's comments. "And he is going to do everything to make it happen. some people sure like to play it dirty." She said with disgust seeing the trembling Ra student.
"Hey, guys. What are you doing?" A voice said from behind them. They looked back to see the Osiris trio coming their way.
"Hey Judai. Nothing much, since we had nothing to do, we decided to watch some duels." Asuka answered. "What are you doing here?"
"Well, we were tasked by Cronos-sensei to find the 'duel giant'."
"So, let me get this straight. 'He came to you and asked you to find the duel giant'." Asuka said and Judai answered with a nod. "And you agreed to do it." Judai nodded again. "Have you thought about, 'why he chose you to do that'?"
"Ahhhh…nope "Everyone sweet-dropped.
"Does he ever think before doing something?" Azula thought.
Just then they heard laughing from the stage to see the Obelisks laughing at the short Ra student who was on his knees.
"I can't believe it. To think I was scared there for a second." The Obelisk on the stage said while laughing.
"What an amateur mistake, no wonder he is Ra." One of his friends said.
"Nah, I don't think he made a mistake. He was probably too short to see over the cards." Another one said which made them laugh harder.
"What just happened?" Judai asked surprised. "Didn't the Ra win the duel?
"No, He attacked with 'mad sword beast' and his opponent activated 'reinforcement'." Hayato answered.
"Whaaaaat? Why would he do that? All he had to do was play 'earthquake' and he would have won."
Azula watched the short kid leave the stage. His expression suddenly changing from that of depressed and sad to a determined and anger look surprised Azula for a second. She watched him leave toward an entrance where a big, very big guy was waiting for him. "hmm… 'duel giant' eh."
"A classic case of stage fright." Another voice behind them said. Standing a few stairs behind them was a black haired Ra Yellow student.
"Hey, Daichi. You know that kid?" Judai asked.
"Yeah, his name is Kohara. I must say he quite a skilled duelist but when he duels in front of others… let's just say, he is more focused on people around him than the duel." The Ra now known as Daichi answered.
"Speaking of giants…" Sho said pointing at the very big Ra student."… That guy is very big."
"Ohara, hahahaha." Daichi said with a small chuckle. "No, he can't be the 'duel giant', Ohara isn't that good of a duelist, in fact he can barely duel. He is studying as a game designer."
"Is there a way to communicate without talking out loud?" Azula asked.
"Yes, there is. You don't think…" Asuka said getting what she means.
"Actually I do. It is quite brilliant I must say. The big guy duels for him while the shortie gives him instructions. And no one will suspect a guy who can't duel. The kid just bought my respect; he has got a good head on his little shoulders." Azula said quite impressed. "Are you going to duel him?" She said looking at Judai.
"Of course I will. See you guys later." Judai said and run after the 'duel giant' with his two Osiris friends after him.
"Are you sure about that?" Junko asked.
"When am I not?" Azula answered.
"I believe we weren't introduced with each other." The black haired Ra said. "I am Misawa Daichi." He said extending his hand.
"Azula." Azula said and shock his hand. "It is a pleasure to meet you."
"The pleasure is mine. It is not every day you get to meet someone with a one of kind deck."
"What?" Azula raised an eye-brow. "So it is the cards you are pleased about." She joked. This made her friends laugh. "Whatever, since no one else is going to duel, there is no point staying here. Unless…" she faced Daichi. "…you wish to duel me?"
"As flattered as I am, I must decline." Daichi said shaking his head. "But I am sure some day we will."
"What? Are you too good to duel me?"
Daichi chuckled a bit. "No, no. It is just that I hate going for the unknown. When I find a worthy opponent to challenge, I prepare a deck accordingly. I will wait a little longer to duel you, until I know more about your deck." He explained.
"Well, I will be waiting for that day." Azula said before leaving with the Obelisk trio.
"So, will I Azula." Daichi muttered to himself when the girls were gone.
"It is not like you to challenge someone to a duel." Asuka asked Azula in the hallways.
"Actually I knew he would decline. He looked like a calculating type of person and they never go to war without being prepared." Azula explained.
"What is with you and all this talk about war?" Junko said. "If I didn't know any better, I would say you are a war minister or something."
Azula looked at Junko. "Well, what do you know, I might a have be-" before she could continue, she was cut off by bumping to someone in the hall corner.
"HEY, watch where you are going." Azula looked up at the person she pumped to. He was a tall boy in Obelisk Blue uniform with blonde hair that was tied in a small pony tail. She remembered seeing him yesterday at the hall with three others. The other three were around them and by the way they were placed Azula understood that they planned for it to happen. "Are you blind or something?"
"You are part of the fault, you know." Azula said looking him in the eye.
"What? So now it is my fault." He said aloud almost yelling. "Listen little girl, you are going to apologize now, or else…" He said while pointing a threatening finger in her face.
"Was that a threat, kid?" Azula said while closing the distance and looking him directly in the eye.
"What if it was, little girl?" He leaned forward with a smug look on his face. They were face-to-face now and their faces inches away from touching. "What are you gon-AAAAHHHHHHH" He screamed in pain when Azula slammed her foot on his and started hoping around with his left leg in his hand.
"BOSS." His lackeys shouted and run to their boss's side. The boss finally settled down beside the wall and started massaging his foot.
"You will pay for this, bitch. I swear you will pay." He continued massaging his foot to ease the pain.
"Give it a try and you might lose your leg completely next time." Azula said laughing and left the hall.
When they were out of the halls Asuka looked at Azula. "DO YOU KNOW WHAT YOU JUST DID?" She yelled at her accusingly. "Those guys are dangerous; you shouldn't pick a fight with them."
Azula just shrugged like it was no big deal. "It was getting boring; a fight is not a bad thing for a change." She said dismissively. "And I might need to define the meaning of dangerous for you someday."
"It is not a matter of joking. I know you have been training, like every day but it is not a tournament where you fight on a ring with a referee to watch over you."
"Don't worry about it. I can take all of them with my hands tied behind my back."
"THAT IS NOT WHAT I AM WORRIED ABOUT." Asuka yelled once again.
"It sounds like you are talking of experience." Azula said curiously.
Asuka sighed to calm herself down. "No, it is not of experience but…" She trailed off.
"Care to tell me what happened?" Azula asked.
Asuka looked at Junko and Momoe before continuing. "His name is Drake Mc. Louis and just like most other Obelisks, he has a very rich family but unlike most of them he isn't afraid of using the power his family possesses to get what he wants. Last year three of the Obelisk girls dropped out the school because of continued harassing. 'When he sets his eyes of a girl, he gets her', that is what the girls say about him. Just avoid him as much as possible, OK. It is not worth the trouble." Asuka said with a hint of worry in her voice.
"It is OK, don't worry about it." Azula said and turned to walk toward the forest.
"Where are you going?"
"Since there is nothing else to do, I am going to train a bit."
"But, what if-" Before Asuka could continue she was cut off by Azula.
"I told you just now, don't worry about it." Without waiting for any response she went to the forest. In fact she knew the kid will follow her, so she went to the forest to settle it sooner than later.
"Asuka, what are going to do?" Junko asked.
"Nothing." Asuka responded.
"W-what? B-but what if she gets in trouble." Momoe asked nervously.
"She just said, she doesn't want anyone to worry about her. It has nothing to do with us; it is none of our business." Asuka snapped which made her friends flinch. "You can go if you want. I won't bother with her anymore." With that Asuka angrily walked to the other side of which Azula went, toward their dorm. The Obelisk duo looked toward the forest with worry on their faces before running after Asuka. They just hoped nothing happened to her.
Azula trained without her bending for about half an hour before she sensed someone watching her, so she cut herself short and stopped with the next move. A few second after she stooped, she heard clapping.
Drake mockingly clapped at her and stepped out of where he was watching. "Those were quite the moves you had. Are those what you are so proud of?"
"Azula wasn't fazed with that. "About time you decided to show up. I have been waiting for 30 minutes. Don't you know it is rude to keep a girl waiting?" Azula said casually as if she is talking to a friend.
"My, my. You have got quite the mouth there. I wonder if it is good for other things." Drake said which made his lackeys laugh.
"Oh, believe me it is, but you are not worthy of its uses." Azula said. "What brings you here? Want another beating?"
"As tempting as it is, I must say 'no'. I don't raise my hand on girls. I have come to duel you."
"Bad timing, I don't have a duel-disk on me."
"I know, that is why I brought a spare one." He then looked at the blonde guy. "Jack, the duel-disks."
Jack took out two duel-disks from his back pack and handed one to Drake and threw the other one at Azula. Azula caught it with no effort. "And what makes you think I would duel you?" She asked.
"You don't have a choice." He said gesturing behind Azula. Azula looked back to see the big guy and the smaller brown haired guy standing guard. Azula almost laughed at that, She had fought strong none benders before but she was sure none of these guys were anything like them.
"And why exactly should I duel you?" Azula said looking back at Drake.
"If I win the duel, you will be my girlfriend." Drake said with a smug look on his face.
"There is nothing in this for me. No good reason for me to risk anything."
"If you by a chance win, I will leave you alone." Azula scoffed at that. "You don't have a choice right now. You either choose the easy way or the hard way."
"Fine." "It could be a good experience."
The two of them stood opposite of each other getting ready for the duel.
Azula: LP 4000
Drake: LP 4000
"Since you are a guest I will let you go first." Drake said.
"No thanks. You start; I like to be the first one to attack."
Drake looked at his hand and smirked. "If you say so."
Turn 1 Drake: 5 cards in hand
He drew his sixth card. "I summon 'marauding captain' in attack mode." A man with dirty blonde hair appeared on his side of the field. He was wearing a metal armor with gold outlines and carrying two long swords, one in each hand. He was also wearing a red cloak.
'Marauding captain' (A 1200/D 400 – earth – warrior -level 3)
"Now his special ability comes in action. When I normal summon his I can select one level 4 or lower monster in my hand and summon it to the field. And I summon another 'marauding captain'." Another one of the same monster appeared on the field. "That ends my turn."
Azula raised an eye-brow. "Just like that, no traps."
"I don't need to, they are more than enough." Drake boasted.
"Pretty confident, I say. I wonder where all that confidence comes from."
Drake shrugged his shoulders. "Oh, I don't know. Maybe because my father is England's national champion, or maybe because my mother is the manager of I2's branch in England, or maybe Because I am the best second year duelist which will be the best duelist in the school with Ryou out of here next year."
"Maybe because you don't know anything about me." Azula said.
Drake scoffed. "Oh please, what is there to know about a newbie?" Azula was surprised where this guy got that piece of information. "Surprised? I know you have started dueling just recently. And you talk as if you know something about me."
"No, I didn't know anything about you. You just told me everything." Azula said which made Drake's lackeys to snicker but one hard glare from him shut them up.
"Whatever, you can't win either way. Just take your turn." Drake said angrily.
Turn 2 Azula: 5 cards in hand
Azula drew her sixth card and smirked. "This might end sooner than I thought." "I summon 'resistance soldier' in attack mode." The soldier appeared on her field. "Now I activate 'machine duplication' and summon two new copies of my soldier." She summoned two new soldiers in attack mode. "I don't think I need to tell you what they can do, do I?" Azula didn't wait for a respond and attacked with all three of her soldiers.
Drake: LP 4000 -1500 =2500
"Now I activate 'double summon' to summon 'resistance decoy' in attack mode and end my turn with a face down."
Turn 3 Drake: 4 cards in hand
"Well, I didn't expect all of your soldiers in one turn." He drew his next card. "But they are nothing I can't handle." He placed a card in his spell/trap card zone. "I activate 'reinforcement of the army', with this cards effect I can add one level 4 or lower warrior type monster from my deck to my hand." He searched through his deck and took another 'marauding captain' to add to his hand but changed his mind. "Actually I think I will go with this one 'Mataza the zapper' and I am summoning him right away." He slammed his card on the duel-disk and man with black hair tied in a high ponytail appeared on his field. He was wearing a green armor and wore blue clothes underneath it. He was also carrying a normal katana blade.
'Mataza the zapper' (A 1300/D 800 – dark – warrior –level 3)
"While not impressive in ATK points, he makes it up with his special ability. Captain number 1 attack decoy." One of his captains rushed at decoy and slashed at it. "Captain Number 2 attack one of her soldiers." The next captain attacked in the same manner and destroyed one of Azula's soldiers.
Azula LP: 4000 -700 =3300
"Since Mataza can attack twice in one turn he can destroy both of your soldiers, now destroy them." He said pointing at her soldiers. Mataza rushed at them and sliced one clean in half, at that moment Azula activated a trap card and Mataza's second attack was blocked by a scarecrow.
Azula LP: 3300 -800 =2500
"Well, I am sure you know what my trap does, right?" Azula said.
"Whatever, it is not like just one of them can do much. I end my turn with a face down." He placed one card face down before ending his turn.
Turn 4 Azula: 1 card in hand
She drew her next card and activated it right away. "I activate 'pot of greed'." She drew two extra cards. "Next I activate my field spell 'resistance base –ground zero'." The surrounding didn't have much of a change since they were already in a forest except the tents, the trucks and being brighter.
"Now I discard one card for the effect of my field spell and select 'resistance medic' and summon it to the field in defense mode." The medic appeared kneeling in front of Azula. "I use her effect to bring back one of the soldiers in my graveyard. And I will use both of them to attack you directly." Both of her soldiers aimed at Drake and shot.
"I activate my tap card 'mirror force'. This will stop your stack and destroy all of your monsters that are in attack position." A mirror appeared in front of Drake that would normally reflect any kind of attack, but his and his lackey's surprise, the soldier's beams shattered the mirror and his Drake. He was wide-eyed for a while.
Drake LP: 2500 -1000 = 1500
"WHAT THE HELL JUST HAPPENED." He yelled.
"Just look around you and you might understand. You are in their base and you expect them to fall for your trap." Azula said with smirk clearly messing with him.
"What do you mean?" Drake asked confused.
"In other word, when my field spell is active, my soldiers are unaffected by your trap cards."
"Whatever, is that all?" Azula just placed one card face down and drake took and as 'turn end'.
Turn 5 Drake: 3 cards in hand
He drew his card and activated it. "I activate my pot of greed." He drew two new cards and smirked. "You know, I thought because you are going to be my girlfriend, I should go easy on you. But I change my mind; I am going to end this duel now."
"Ho, I am curious now. Let's see what you can do."
"I sacrifice all three of my monsters to summon 'Girford the lightning'." His three monsters disappeared and in their place a large pillar of light appeared. Out of the pillar a big man appeared, he was wearing a helmet and his shoulder and arms were covered in armor. He was also wearing a cap and carrying a large sword on his back.
'Gilford the lightning' (A 2800/D 1400 –light – warrior –level 8)
"Wow, boss has already summoned him."
"He is really taking this seriously."
"Now he is going to win for sure."
Azula could hear the compliments his lackeys were giving him but it doesn't bother her at all. She knows this kid isn't using his real deck and he is going to pay the price for underestimating her. "Even with those attack points, he won't do much. I say, it was a waste of three monsters."
"Sorry to burst you bubbles but that is where his special ability come in action. I can summon him with two monsters, but when I sacrifice three monsters he can destroy all of your monsters intently." When he said that Gilford raised his sword toward the sky and a bolt of lightning descended on it. After a few seconds his sword was charged with lightning and he stabbed his sword on the ground and the lightning charged in his sword streamed through the ground. And to their surprise only the two soldiers were destroyed and there was a single shield circling around the medic. "What? Why is she still there?" Drake asked surprised.
"Well, before my monsters were destroyed, I activated this trap card." Azula said pointing to her revealed trap card which was 'tactical sacrifice – defense formation'. "You know what it does, right?" she said with a smirk while drawing a card.
Drake growled out of anger, it was like she drew exactly the card she needed at the right moment and that angered him. "Fine, you lucky bitch. I activate 'warrior returning alive' and bring back 'Mataza the zapper'. Then I summon another 'marauding captain' and use his ability to summon Mataza back to the field." And just like that he had another three monsters on the field. "Let's see if you can block all of them." First his captain attacked and destroyed the next shield and Azula drew another card. Mataza attacked and destroyed the medic and then charged at Azula and slashed through her.
Azula LP: 2500 -1300 =1200
Since Drake knew his next attack will be blocked he didn't bother attacking and ended his turn.
Turn 6 Azula: 2 cards in hand
Azula drew her next card. "You are right on the 'lucky' part, which not something I can say for you. Once again I discard one card to summon another medic from my deck in defense position." Another medic appeared on the field kneeling. "Now I use her ability to bring back a soldier from my graveyard in attack mode. Then I sacrifice my medic to summon 'resistance captain – Kraft' in attack mode." Kraft apeared on the field with his weapon on his shoulder.
"So, you are going to destroy Gilford?" Drake asked.
"No, you can keep him. I don't need to destroy him to finish you off." Azula inserted one card in her spell/trap card zone. "I activate 'limiter removal'." Drake's eyes widened when he saw that card. "You know what it does, right?"
Resistance captain – Kraft (A 1900-3800/D 1200-2400)
Resistance soldier (A 500-1000/D 0)
"Kraft, attack his captain." Kraft took aim and shot Drake's captain.
Drake LP: 2500 -2600 =0
With Drake's life points hitting 0, the monsters disappeared and Drake fell to his knees. "Going on his knee this easily. It is not like he took a real hit." Azula took out her cards and threw the duel-disk back at Jack. "Now, if you will excuse me, I have some where to be." Azula turned to leave but she knew he wasn't going to let her.
"You are going nowhere." Drake said. "We are going to duel again?"
"You just lost, what makes it different this time. You will lose again."
"Then we will duel again and again and again, for as long as I win." Drake said with a smug look on his face.
"I refuse, I don't have that much free time, you know."
"You are staying with me. Either willingly or I will force you." He said threatening.
"Predictable. These people are no fun." Azula thought to herself. "And how exactly are you going to force me?"
"I don't do things, that is his job." Drake said pointing at Bob. Bob getting the message went to restrain Azula.
Azula just waited, when he was close enough, he extended his hand to grab Azula. In one swift motion Azula grabbed a hold of his index finger and twisted it backward which made Bob scream in pain. "AHHHHH… LET GO, LET GO…IT HURTS… AHAHHHH, MOMMYYYY." Azula let go of his finger upon hearing him call his mother. Bob quickly scrammed away from her and sat in a corner.
Seeing this Drake boiled in anger and kicked Bob in the side. "Get up you good for nothing, she is just a girl."
"B-but boss, m-my finger still h-hurts." Bob said still whimpering.
Azula almost felt bad about what she did.
Almost.
Drake growled in anger. "Whimp." He went toward Azula smirking. "I am going to enjoy beating you to pulp and then I am going to use your body however I want and no one is here to stop me."
"Use me however you want, you say?" Azula said before her tone turning dark. "Know your place, peasant.".
Asuka and her fiends just finished shopping. They are currently at Asuka's room going over Momoe's deck. Asuka finished the deck and handed it to Momoe.
"What do you think? Cute enough for you?" Asuka said.
"Oh, come on. Like I am the only one obsessed with some cards." Momoe pouted.
"What you say is true. Even the Kaiser is obsessed with his dragons but that is not getting in his way for being the best. In fact that is making him even stronger." Asuka said. "You get what I am saying?" Momoe just nodded without saying anything.
"By the way, guys. Where is Azula? She went to train more than an hour ago. Shouldn't she be back by now?" Junko said.
"Do you think she is in trouble?" Momoe asked.
"Don't worry; she can take care of herself." Asuka snapped, this surprised her friends since she rarely snapped at them.
"Asuka, don't you think you are taking this a little too hard. If you ask me I think Drake deserved it." Junko said.
"I know, it is just… " Asuka sighed. "Azula keeps doing what she thinks is fun and doesn't care about the consequences. I am not angry about what she did to Drake, He deserves worse than that. I am just worried about her. You know what kind of a person Drake is."
"I am flattered." Azula said coming inside the room. "To think the queen of Obelisk is worried about me."
The Obelisk trio swirled around to see Azula standing in the door way with a smirk on her face. Asuka was a little embarrassed. "A-Azula… How did you get here?"
"Uh… through the door." Azula answered casually.
"No, I mean… uh" Her friends laughed at that. It was not every day you get to see the queen of Obelisk at a loss for words.
"Where were you?" Junko asked.
"Oh you know, just having some fun." Azula said with a smirk which made the Obelisk trio sigh one of which was in annoyance. "Oh, by the way. The worse did happen. Just to let you know."
"What do you mean?" The Obelisk trio asked.
Back in the forest three Obelisks were lying on the ground with black eyes and broken noses and jaws. Another bigger one was watching them with a look of horror on his face.
"MOMMYYYYY"
New cards
'Resistance soldier' (A 500/D 0 – dark – machine –level 2)
This monster can attack your opponent directly. When the field spell 'resistance base – ground zero' is active, this card is unaffected by your opponent's trap cards.
The 'Heroes' in her deck won't be revealed until the duel against 'Yugi's deck'. I have nothing more to say except, sorry it took too long to update. Review please.
