Author's Note #1:
((Sorry, if it took me awhile; I've been extremely busy with college stuff, studying for exams, getting ready for my up-coming summer semester, and etc. So, to make-it-up to all the readers for the delay, this chapter will be a long one. Once again, just to let the readers know that if I make a mistake on Jaden's or Adam's cards, please let me know so I won't make the same mistakes again. Also, if I do happen to make a mistake, which I might, then I'm "Sorry", but hopefully it didn't ruin the story for you. Just Let Me Know, and I'll try to fix it when I have time.
On another note, if all the readers thought that I forgot about some characters, especially duel spirits like the (Winged Kuriboh) or (Yubel), think again, they'll be around later in the story, and "THANKS" for those who gave a review, added me to your favorites, or added me your story alert. Thanks for your patience…ENJOY!))
Now LAST TIME on Yu-Gi-Oh! GX
(For those who don't remember or are just too lazy to click the back button :) )…
…Jaden continued his attack, "Next, my (Elemental Hero Bladedge) will attack you directly."
All Syrus could do now was watch the attack go through since he had no face-downs, no cards in hand, and no monsters to defend him. "Aah…man. I totally messed up." Syrus thought as his LP went straight to 0...
--
…Meanwhile, the mysterious man in the shadows was pleased with the duel and its outcome. "What an interesting duel," finally the man whispered to himself, the first and only comment during the entire duel, in a very common British accent. "But soon, very soon, you and I will meet, one-on-one...but this time I will be the victor. "Ha Ha ha ha …"
As the mysterious stranger chuckled after his last comment, he walked to his motorcycle, and got on, while disappearing deeper into the shadows of the dark alley onto the next street…
--
…Jaden reassured his friends. "I just have to go to Duel Academy for a meeting with Chancellor Sheppard about a new mission or something." He added, "You guys can both join me, since it'll a while before I get there…" while (only) Syrus and Jaden were running toward the docks to, hopefully, hitch a ride to Duel Academy to get information from Chancellor Sheppard about this new mysterious mission.
Disclaimer: I'm pretty sure everyone knows that I, Yokai Summoner, do not own these characters or the show, except the new character, Adam, which I thank (Blue-Eyes White Knight-BEWK) for giving me this idea as the first new character to debut. I may have changed each character's purpose from the series to fit this story, by accident and purposely, but it's close enough what would actually happen over the time skip; plus, that's why they call it FanFiction.
Chapter 3 (Ep. 183) – The Chaos Legend Jaden VS. Adam
(Location: Somewhere in Domino City)
As the mysterious man rode on his bike, he turned onto a street that seemed somewhat abandoned. All of sudden, he drew a card from his deck case, and activated, (Different Dimension Gate). Suddenly, a portal seemed to have appeared right before him. He continued to ride, right through it, and disappeared into the gate; then the portal disappeared without a trace.
(Elsewhere in Domino City)
Jaden and Syrus were continuing to run towards the docks. When they got there, they were not sure which boat to hitch a ride on that would get them to the Academy.
"Aw Man," sighed Syrus, "How are we gonna get there anyway? It's not like we have enough money to pay for a boat ride."
"It'll be fine. We'll just pick…" as Jaden scanned the dock, he noticed that there was someone there with a duel disk in an Obelisk Blue uniform, just like back at the Academy, the guy was also moving boxes back-and-forth, "…him."
"Who…Where?" questioned Syrus.
Jaden explained, while pointing to the guy that he was talking about, "Right in front of you…see that guy with the duel disk in the blue outfit. I'm pretty sure he can help us. He's wearing the school uniform, and the duel disk on his arm must mean that he's also a duelist."
"But, what's he doing here anyway? Class has already started this week. Shouldn't he be at the Academy?" Syrus questioned again since it was a strange sight to see a student here without anyone else from the school around.
"That doesn't matter. I just know that he will be our ride. You never know, maybe he's heard of us. I mean, we didn't graduate very long ago," replied Jaden.
As they walked towards the duelist, who was still very busy moving boxes back and forth. The guy looked like Atticus, but he had blonde hair that was similar to Alexis. Jaden and Syrus approached him, but only Jaden noticed a duel spirit that seemed to be hovering around him.
"So, who's your friend?" Jaden asked the guy. As the duel spirit noticed Jaden and Syrus, it quickly disappeared and the guy in return stopped moving only to stare at them confusingly and blankly. Syrus looked around and was confused, as well, with Jaden's question since no one else was around the guy. Jaden continued, "You know what I'm talking about, that monkey looking spirit with a weapon and wearing Japanese armor." Jaden could tell that the spirit was a monkey that was probably a pikeman from the feudal Japanese era since it did have a pike weapon in its hands, which was a spear that was made of a long, wooden stick and a pointed steel blade at one of the ends.
The guy did not answer his question, but continued to stare at them blankly. Jaden could tell that the guy was probably either shy or embarrassed since the guy was still staring at them with no answer. He was probably shocked to know that someone noticed his spirit friend because not many people can see duel spirits.
"Well, don't be shy…introduce us to your friend," Jaden continued to ask while he smiled and figured that the guy just needed a little encouragement.
Syrus then, just had to ask, since he was getting kind-of impatient of Jaden's talent for seeing duel spirits, "Uh…What spirit, Jay?"
Jaden snapped back to reality and replied to Syrus, "Oh, sorry, Sy…I forgot that you couldn't see duel spirits as me." Then, he turned to the new guy who was still holding a box and staring at them both, "Well, then…..we can do introductions later. We just need to ask you for a favor…You see, we need a ride to Duel Academy, and judging by your outfit, I say you're probably a student there."
The guy blushed and finally answered shyly, "What?...A ride?" As he stared at them, he then looked more confident and comfortable than he did before as he continued with a smile, "I can't give you a ride because I've got work to do."
"Work?" Jaden and Syrus both asked him.
"Yeah, work…I'm not moving boxes back-and-forth just for the fun of it. I work for the lady who runs the card shop back on island," the guy explained with a smile and continued to ask them both, "Do you know Ms. Dorothy?"
"Of course we do, we graduated from Duel Academy three months ago," Syrus proudly responded to his question.
"Really..." Just then he put down the box that he was holding and said, "I know you guys…WOW…sorry about earlier, the staring-an'-all, but I knew that you both looked familiar, like I've seen you somewhere before," he comfortable responded. "My name is Adam Rhodes, you probably know my sister, Alexis, and my brother, Atticus. They told me a lot of things about you two; plus, they've got a lot of pictures with you guys in them. I'm their younger brother," the duelist finally happily introduced himself while Jaden and Syrus only stood there staring surprisingly at him.
"Wow!...I didn't see that coming…small world, huh. I guess you do kind-of look like them. Well, my name's Jaden Yuki and this is Syrus Truesdale." Jaden replied happily as he introduced the both of them since Syrus was still just too shocked to say anything.
Adam further explained, "Yeah…uh…anyway, Ms. Dorothy…she needed someone to help run the card shop. You see, the school's teachers needed some extra help nowadays; so I volunteered to help…it's like having a small internship job or just being a class aid. Plus, we get rewards for helping, like receiving new cards or a free meal. It may not be much, but at least, I get to be the first one in line to pick the new rare cards when it gets there, mostly because I helped to move them there in the first place." He proceeded to pick up the box that he set down earlier and replied, "Anyway, I need to get these boxes there before four o' clock, and looking at my watch, it's one; so, I have about two hours to go to move these boxes and that leaves me about an hour to get back to school."
Syrus replied after realizing the shock of knowing that he's talking to Alexis' brother, "Hey…we'll help you move these boxes…right, Jay?"
"Of course…we will," agreed Jaden.
Adam stated while still pondering over their offer, "Well…I guess I can do your little favor, then…since it's probably what my siblings would want me to do…" As he walked on the boat and placed the box in his hands down, he finally concluded, "Alright, then…let's get cracking. I've already wasted time explaining things to you guys, and it is still my first day doing this; I would hate to get back late and disappointing everyone."
"Alright," said Syrus and Jaden.
Then, Syrus asked Adam while looking at one of the boxes, "So, what are they filled with anyway?"
"Well, let's see…these boxes are going to the card shop, so probably new Cards," Adam sarcastically replied with a smile, "Well, let's get on with it, we still have about fifty boxes left to move; And, when I was moving about twenty-five of them, it took me exactly two hours," Adam stated to them while he started to move some of the boxes back-and-forth.
The three of them continued to move the boxes, while they were busy with that, half-way across the world, the D.D. (Different Dimension) portal opened up and the biker from earlier came out. He continued to ride into the new town that seemed to be abandoned, as well, until he was in front of a tall dark building. It looked like the Kaiba Corporation tower in Domino City, but it had a bit more gothic look. As the motorist parked his bike at the entrance of this building, he got off. Then, he continued to walk into the building.
Inside the lobby, it was a large room that had a nice long rug on the ground that led to three staircases, one on the left, one in the middle, and one on the right, all towards the back of the room. The one in the middle was the only staircase that was going down, while the other two went up. The mysterious man continued to calmly walk towards the left one, which the staircase seemed to contain probably over one thousand steps, and he continued on.
(Back to the docks in Domino City)
Jaden, Syrus, and Adam finally finished moving all the boxes and were resting on the boat; then, Adam looked at his watched and saw that the time was three o'clock.
"Well, I guess we've finished the job right on schedule…Well, no time to waste… I'll set us on course to Duel Academy. I'll be right back," replied Adam who left to start the boat and came back very quickly to relax with Jaden and Syrus.
Syrus just then had to ask, "Uh…not to sound stupid, but…who's steering the boat?"
"Oh, don't worry about that. Ms. Dorothy told me that the boat had some kind-of autopilot thing; so, it'll get us there no matter what. I just needed to start the engine," Adam explained to Syrus.
Jaden was sitting Indian-style and resting his back on one of the boxes, while Syrus and Adam were standing up and watching the waves go by. Just then, Jaden asked Syrus and Adam, "So…while we enjoy our ride to Duel Academy, what do you guys what to do?"
Syrus just shrugged his shoulders, but Adam replied shyly, "…Well...we…could…" Then, there was a long pause.
Jaden and Syrus looked at each other curiously and asked Adam, "Well…we could what?"
"Well, we could…uh…nevermind," Adam stated while rethinking his idea.
Jaden and Syrus looked at each other curiously again, and Jaden asked Adam, "Well…we could what?...Don't leave us hanging…just spit it out."
"Well…we could…duel on the ride there. I mean the ride is almost a half-hour to about an hour long, and…uh…we do have room for a duel. Sound fun?...I mean if you guys wanna duel," Adam asked them as their faces brightened up and their expressions seem to almost scared him.
"Yeah, what a good idea," replied Syrus as Jaden smiled and stood up, who just seemed to be more excited than before.
"It's a great idea to pass the time, and I'm even ready to get my game on. Plus, if you're as good as your sister and brother, you gotta be just as fun to duel with!" Jaden exclaimed with excitement, and Syrus only nodded in agreement.
"I guess then…then, it's time to duel!! So...I guess it sounds like Jaden is already psyched for the challenge," Adam replied happily that he came up with the idea.
"Of-course, I'm always psyched for a duel…unless Sy, wants a chance?" Jaden answered Adam and politely asked Syrus.
"Nah…I'm still tired from our last duel and from moving all those boxes. I mean…for a bunch of cards, those boxes were awfully heavy. I'll just watch," Syrus replied tiredly.
"Great…looks like it's you against me," Jaden answered very excitedly to Adam and thought, "I wonder what kind deck he uses… dragons, too, like Atticus? Well, only one way to find out."
"Great!" Adam replied to an excited Jaden.
Then, Jaden and Adam switched decks and shuffled them, while Syrus was walking to the port side of the boat NOTE: the Left Side where there was still room not taken by the boxes, to get ready to watch Jaden and Adam's duel. Then, they gave their shuffled decks back to each other and got into position.
They both yelled, "Game on!"
Adam:4000 / Jaden:4000
Adam and Jaden both drew 5 cards to begin, Adam said, "I'll begin, first I'll draw and I'll set one monster in DEF mode face-down. That'll end my turn."
Adam:4000 – 5 card in hand - no face-downs - 1 monster on field
Jaden:4000 – 5 cards in hand - no face-downs - no monster on field
"Alright, my turn…I'll draw. Next I'll activate the spell card, (Polymerization), which allows me to fuse (Elemental Hero Avian) and (Elemental Hero Burstinatrix) to Special Summon (Elemental Hero Flame Wingman) in ATK mode (2100), and I'll attack your face-down monster," Jaden stated excitedly, and face down monster was destroyed. During the Battle Phase, Jaden's attack revealed the face-down monster to be the same spirit that was following Adam earlier.
"So, that was your spirit partner?" Jaden asked with a smile. He then thought to himself, "I guess it's not going to be dragons...Oh well, I can tell that this deck that he's using is still going to be just as much fun." Jaden replied somewhat sadly to Adam, "Sorry that he had to go so soon."
Adam replied confidently, "Yeah, but I have many spirit partners, and your going to meet them all soon."
"Great, then I'll…" Jaden tried to continue, but was interrupted by Adam.
"Hold on, you've activated my friend (Shien's Footsoldier's) effect, (Note: in DEF mode, (300) / ATK made, (700)), which allows me to Special Summon one level 3 or lower "Six Samurai" monster from my deck when it is destroyed by battle and sent to the Graveyard; so, I'll Special Summon (The Six Samurai – Yariza) in ATK mode (1000)," Adam replied proudly of his efforts. He continued as he asked Jaden, "You didn't think that he'd leave the field without leaving an effect for me to use, did ya?"
Jaden happily responded to Adam's question, "Na, but nice move. And, you're also forgetting that my monster might have an ability to activate, as well."
"Well, go on…activate it," Adam stated patiently.
"Fine, since you asked kindly…I'll activate my (Flame Wingman's) ability, which activates when it destroys a monster and sends it to the Graveyard as a result of battle, it can inflict damage to your Life Points (LP) equal to the ATK of the destroyed monster. Now, it may not seem much now, but it will eventually," Jaden explained.
Adam realized that he did not lose much and replied, "Well...then, I guess it's a good thing that I only summoned my weakest monster on my first turn," Adam thought, "Phew, that's close one, I'll need to get rid of that monster quickly before some real damage gets to me. Hopefully, I'll be able to draw what I need." (Note: ATK made, (700))
Jaden continued, "Well, I'll throw down a face-down and that'll be it."
Adam:3300 – 5 card in hand - no face-downs - 1 monster on field
Jaden:4000 – 3 cards in hand - 1 face-downs - 1 monster on field
"Wow. I can't believe Jaden summoned his favorite monster on his first turn…What luck," Syrus thought to himself, while smiling as he was still standing on the Port side of the boat.
Adam drew a card, "Alright, I'll summon (The Six Samurai – Zanji) in ATK mode (1800)."
"Why would he summon it in ATK mode, does he want this to be the quickest duel ever, or does he just not want to win. Weird," Jaden thought to himself.
"I bet you thinking "Am I crazy for summoning my monsters in ATK mode"," Adam asked Jaden humorously.
Jaden confusingly answered, "Yeah…Kind-of!"
"Well… I'm not… 'cause now, I'll show you just how I'll swarm the field." Adam calmly continued, "Now, because I have a "Six Samurai" monster face-up on my side of the field, I can then Special Summon the (Grandmaster of the Six Samurai) in ATK mode (2100) from my hand."
"But, it's equal to my (Wingman's) ATK," Jaden asked confusingly, again. "Uh-Oh…I smell trouble," as he thought to himself.
"Well, I'm not that kind-of duelist. If you're thinking that I'll sacrifice both of our monsters, you're crazy. I'll only do that if there's no other way out, and I believe that all my friends will come though for me; so I have another way planned, 'cause now I'll also Special Summon the (Great Shogun Shien) in ATK mode (2500),"Adam gladly explained.
"Wait, how can you Special Summon him, too?" Jaden asked impatiently, as he stated this, his friend, the (Winged Kuriboh), appeared by his side to support him.
"Well, I can see now, how you can see my duel spirit since I can see your (Winged Kuriboh), and it's just like my (Shien's Footsoldier), giving me support when I need it," Adam thought to himself. "I guess Big Sis was right about him, and that I shouldn't feel embarrassed about seeing my monkey friend. I'm not crazy…I just thought that she was trying to make me feel better." Adam continued, "Well…I'll gladly explain…my (Shogun Shien) can be Special Summoned to the field when there are 2 or more "Six Samurai" monsters on my side of the field. Also, he's second ability only allows you to activate 1 Spell or Trap Card each turn. So, what-do-you think?
Jaden calmly stated while smiling, "Well….not bad."
Adam continued on, "Not bad?…Well, it's only gonna get bad for you and better for me because now I'll attack your (Wingman) (2100) first with my (Shien)…" ((Note: 2500-2100 equals 400 / Jaden's LP 3600))
Jaden yelped and thought to himself, "Poor Wingman,…sorry buddy that you had to get slashed."
"…second my (Grandmaster) will attack you directly…" said Adam as continued his attacks. ((Note: 3600-2100 equals 1500 / Jaden's LP 2100))
Jaden only grunted after the second attack.
Adam continued, "…And, thirdly will be (Yariza) to attack you directly, again…" ((Note: 2100-1000 equals 1100 / Jaden's LP 1000))
Jaden this time yelped with pain after the samurai slashed him with its sword.
Adam then stopped and thought to himself, "…I think that's good for now, or should I finish this…I might, but he does have that face-down...Oh…What should I do? Humph…I'll just end my turn just to be safe. I don't feel like risking it so soon. Alexis and Atticus both told me about his strange ability to pull off wins at unexpected times. He might still be able to win this; that is…if I'm not careful." He then replied finally, "That's good for now, and I'll end my turn."
"So, why'd you stop? You still have one more monster, the (Zanji)-dude. You can win, you know" Jaden stated teasingly.
Adam replied calmly as before, "Yeah, well…that face-down of yours is pretty suspicious." He also thought, "Whoa, it's a good thing that I stopped when I did. It sounded as if he wanted me to attack. I probably would have fallen for it too…Oh well; next turn won't make much of a difference."
Adam:3300 – 3 card in hand - no face-downs - 4 monster on field
Jaden:1000 – 3 cards in hand - 1 face-downs - no monster on field
Meanwhile on the port side of the boat, Syrus was thinking hard about the duel. "I wonder, Jay, what are you gonna do next?…how will you win this time around, I mean Adam is swarming the field with these warriors of his. Is it possible that Jaden can actually lose this duel? And, man…I though Alexis or Atticus was good…he might be better than the both of them." He then let out a huge sigh and said, "This duel is making me more exhausted than before…Oh man," Syrus thought to himself tiredly.
(Back to the mysterious man)
The mysterious man continued to walk up the stairs, which seemed like an eternity. He thought to himself calmly, "Why couldn't someone add an elevator to this building? It's not like 'that old fool' can walk all these stairs, himself. Whoever made the blueprints to build this wretched building is a bloody moron and an idiot. And, speaking of an idiot, I do hope that goof-ball is doing his job instead-of stuffing himself full of food, like always." As he thought this to himself, a quick-beeper went off. He looked at his wrist that had a watch with a futuristic look to it, as it currently showed what the current time and temperature was. ((NOTE: it showed that it was 3:15p.m. at 65°F)) Also, there was a small, green button on the side that was next to a very insignificantly small speaker of some-sort, like for communication purposes. Then, he replied quietly, "Damn… I'm late. Well, I guess apologies won't work this time around……Oh well" and he continued walking, calmly up the stairs.
(Back to the boat with the duel still going)
Adam:3300 – 3 card in hand - no face-downs - 4 monster on field
Jaden:1000 – 3 cards in hand - 1 face-downs - no monster on field
"My turn, I'll draw…and I'll summon my partner (Winged Kuriboh) in DEF mode, and I'll throw-down one more face-down. And, that'll be it," as Jaden stated this, he smiled.
"What the…(Winged Kuriboh)? He must be getting desperate," Adam thought. "Well, I'll draw…And, I'll go right on ahead and attack your (Winged Kuriboh).
"Sorry…you activated my trap (Negate Attack). This'll allow me to negate an attack from one monster and end the Battle Phase," Jaden stated while he smiled back with a calm attitude.
"Well, at least he used one of them traps…now, what could the other face-down be?" Adam thought and replied, "Then, I'll just end my turn."
Adam:3300 – 4 card in hand - no face-downs - 4 monster on field
Jaden:1000 – 2 cards in hand - 1 face-downs - 1 monster on field
(Back to the mysterious man)
The mysterious man finally reached the top of the stairs, and continued forward through the dark corridors. After a while, as the mysterious man continued to walk down the dark, shadowy hallway, at the end of the hall there was finally some bright light to obviously show the mysterious man's true face, which revealed to be none-other-than the Analytical Duelist, Bastion Misawa. As he continued on, walking calmly through the hallway to the end of the corridors, there was a man with red hair spiking messily upwards. He was shorter than the Bastion, but about the same body built, who looked as if he was guarding a large door; he also wore almost the exact same outfit as Bastion. He worn dark sunglasses, dark jeans, but his coat was much longer and instead of a green turtleneck, he wore a yellow one; and, for some reason, he also had a backpack hanging off of his back. As the short man was guarding the door, he was chewing on something.
The other man replied in a very strong Scottish accent as he was chewing on whatever that was in his mouth, "Well, well, well,…I see that you're late, as usual. So, did you complete the mission or got lost on the way?"
Bastion didn't answer his question; instead he had a serious face and continued to walk towards this other man.
"Well…aren' we a bit, hard of hearing today…Hmm," the other man asked in the strangest way and was chewing very loudly.
"What do you think your doing? I still can't believe that you're still eating," replied Bastion, who seemed somewhat bothered by this other man. He continued, "You were eating when I left, which was five hours ago, and where are your manners…Must you talk and ask useless questions, especially when your mouth is full of rubbish. Now, move along…I don't have time to play games right now," Bastion replied sternly as he took off his sunglasses, which revealed his weary-looking eyes.
"Well…stressed aren' we…well, first of all, I wasn' eatin' rubbish. I was chewin' on gum to make my breath mint'n fresh, and secondly, I was waitin' for you to come back…so I…I mean, we can finally go eat lunch, which is now, by the way, almost time for supper. I thought you knew that the boss doesn' let me eat until everyone has finished their missions…and last time I checked that included you," continued the Scottish man, who was still guarding the door, while Bastion was looking surprised by his comments. "Thirdly, I'll move, but just to let you know, the boss will not be very happy. You know he hates it when someone's late, and you're really late. You're supposed to be on time, "L.t."…you know…I just don't know why he cares so much about being punctual, anyways. Didn' you not set your wrist timer correctly? You know, those new gadgets can be tricky, even for smart fella like you. And, besides…I hope that you didn' forgot that you're not exactly on his good side anyways, especially what happened with your other missi…." The Scottish man was grabbed suddenly by the collar by Bastion, who looked much sterner than before.
"I wouldn't finish that sentence if I were you. You're not going to be on my good side, if you keep-it-up with your worthless comments…and, you're wasting my time……Now, unless your legs are broken, I suggest you move or it will become broken very soon," Bastion strictly told the Scottish guy, as he let him go.
The Scottish man smiled and replied in a taunting way, "Whoa…did I struck a nerve…What temper…and I thought that you didn't have a temper after all these years that I've known you……" As he stared at Bastion, he responded, "Fine, but I'd cool off if I were you. You wouldn' want to be yellin' at the boss, now…'specially when he is piss off already…I was just lettin' ya know."
"You know for someone pretty short, you sure do mouth-off a lot. Maybe we need to get some duct tape for that mouth of yours, or better yet, some sting will do. We can always use that to sew that mouth shut…Permanently…So, no one else has to listen to your nonsense chatter anymore," said Bastion, whose stern attitude was replaced with a smirk.
The Scottish man finally scooted over quickly with the horrific thought of his mouth being sewn closed, and thinking about what Bastion just said. He thought to himself, "Ewwww…would he actually do that?...Nah, the Bastion I know wouldn'…would he?...Nah…doesn' matter cause he wouldn' do that."
Since the Scottish man finally scooted aside, Bastion replied, "Finally, now was that so hard, and I thought that I actually had to hurt you." After his comment, he smiled jokingly.
Then, Bastion entered through the large door and the Scottish man closed the door behind him. He walked forward into a dim-lighten room, stopped, and closed his eyes as he bowed his head.
(Back to the boat with the duel still going)
Adam:3300 – 4 card in hand - no face-downs - 4 monster on field
Jaden:1000 – 2 cards in hand - 1 face-downs - 1 monster on field
"Well, it's back to me. I'll draw……hum…And, I'll end my turn." Jaden replied.
Adam was puzzled, and he thought, "What's he thinking?...This can't be the same Jaden that Alexis and Atticus talked about. It looks to me like he's losing and just bluffing along. I just can't believe that he's not going to summon anything to defend himself." Adam looked at his watch and realized that it was 3:30pm. "Well, I'll gonna end this now…And, I'll start by drawing, and next…I'll go straight for the attack…Go (Zanji), it's your turn."
Jaden smiled and said, "Sorry, but I'll be the one to end this now by activating my Quick-Play face-down Spell card on the field, (Transcendent Wings). Now, my (Winged Kuriboh) will evolve to the next level, but more like several levels into (Winged Kuriboh LV10)! I'll also activate his effect by tributing this monster to destroy all face-up Attack Position monsters on your side of the field to inflict damage to your Life Points equal to the combined original ATK of those destroyed monster(s) on your side of the field! By the way, since this is your Battle Phase, this will work because this effect can only be activated on your turn."
Note: (Shien) ATK2500 / (Grandmaster) ATK2100 / (Zanji) ATK1800 / (Yariza) ATK1000 TOTAL ATK 7400 / Adam's LP3300-7400 equals 0!!
Adam:0 – 5 card in hand - no face-downs - no monster on field
WINNER - Jaden:1000 – 3 cards in hand - no face-downs - 1 monster on field
"Whaaaaat…my monsters…my points," As he fell to his knees, Adam gave a big sigh and depressingly replied, "I shouldn't have been so careless! I knew better than to make such a rookie mistake…I shouldn't have jumped right to an attack knowing that it could have been countered by a face-down…Man, I should've gotten you when I had the chance."
Jaden smiled at Adam and replied, "You need to chill. You did GREAT! I would have lost for sure if I never drew my best bud, and just like your spirit friend, (Footsoldier Shien); he's got your back."
"Thanks, and it's (Shien's Footsoldier) not the (Footsoldier Shien)," Adam corrected Jaden's mistake and smiled. "Well, you did help big-time little pal. Thanks…" Adam thought this as if he was talking to his duel spirit friend.
"Great duel, you guys!" Syrus said as he joined them and congratulated both on their efforts during the duel.
Then, they all sat down on the deck of the boat, tiredly, but then Adam stood up and said, "Looks like we're here…the one and only "Duel Academy"."
"Wow, it hasn't changed a bit," replied Syrus.
Jaden added with a big smile, "Why should it change, it was only three months ago, and it was one of the best places to have a duel, except all those times when all those villains wanted to attack us. Ha, Ha, Ha, Ha…" As Jaden said this, (Yubel) finally appeared, after all this time, and shook her head with disapproval. "I can't believe your laughing and still playing games…you're suppose to be working on important missions for Pegasus and Sheppard with a serious attitude, like last year…well, I guess I shouldn't expect you to change yourself so much, even after that incomplete duel with Yugi Moto and recovering the one thing that you've seem to have been lost…It'll never cease to amaze me how you can find the time to still have fun, Jaden."
"I guess your right, (Yubel)…..Well, soon it'll be time to get serious for Chancellor Sheppard's meeting," Jaden responded to (Yubel's) comment, and he understood what she meant. He knew that he should do his new upcoming mission with the same mature and serious attitude as last year.
"So, who's that? And, what are you talking about "…all those times those villains wanting to attack you? Villains at school?" asked Adam.
Syrus replied comically to Adam, "It's just better if we…don't ask. He's just having one of them, "Jaden-moments," like earlier."
Then, the three of them just stood there on the deck of the boat, enjoying the view that was on the oncoming horizon as their boat got closer to Duel Academy.
(Back to Bastion in the large, dim room)
"So, look who finally decided to show up?" said a deep, dark, voice that asked Bastion as a bright light shined upon him.
As Bastion lifted his head from the bent over position, he replied with such as offensive tone in the same usual British accent as he opened his eyes and adjusted them the brightness that suddenly filled the room, "I was doing what you asked, which needed extra time to complete."
"Now, don't you use that tone with me Bastion Misawa……..Now then…did you find out if he has returned to the other dimensions, yet?" the deep, dark, voice continued to ask calmly, but scarily.
"Not sure; he never mentioned anything about it," replying now with a calmer tone and remembering what the goof-ball told him, just couple seconds ago.
"Now, that's a better attitude……Did you find out if his dueling skills have improved, especially now that he has the (Super Polymerization) card and that hideous creature (Yubel), as a new duel spirit partner in his possession," the dark voice continued to asked calmly.
Still with the calmer tone Bastion replied, "Yes, he has improved much, but as far as I know, he still most likely has these cards, even though he did not use them in his last duel that I've observed."
The man with the deep, dark, voice stated calmly. "Then, he's might become a threat to our organization…hmmm…..Now, I have another mission for you…..you need to find out if he, or anyone else for that matter, has a clue about the Chaos Legend."
"The Chaos Legend?...Not to be rude or give any offense to your order, but why should we care if he or others know. We've been planning this for years; we now have everything we need to complete the rest of our main objective, and it's not like, they can stop us," questioned Bastion.
"You're not thinking ahead, Bastion, my boy….you see if there is anything that I've taught you is to remember two important things…one, is to always think ahead and two, always plan for the worst. Now, if they have the slightest idea about the legend, how much power that these Lords can unleash, and what they can do for our organization and for our people; not only that, but the fact that these cards are very important and have somewhat gone missing. Then, they will try to find any suspicious groups and stop anyone, especially us, when they realize that we are after these Lords of Chaos. We need to know if there are going to be any threats that may stand in our way before we continue on. We don't need any problems occurring and this to become a failure…Understand," the man with the deep, dark voice explained and still with the same calm tone.
Bastion hesitated to answer his boss, but replied reluctantly, "Yes Sir, I completely understand…..We'll find out by any means necessary. So, we can carry out our plans on schedule without any problems." As he thought to himself, which contradicted to what he responded, "That probably won't happen, especially with a plan that involves the Chaos Lords."
The man with deep, dark voice responded back to Bastion, "Good, to see that you are on-board, but I have a condition for this new mission. I want you to leave this so-called, Jaden Yuki, alone for awhile. Do not duel him. Leave him in the dark, until he poses a threat to us. Then, you, Bastion, will beat him and take what we need when the time is right; it should also be on our turf, our soil, and the victory will be all the sweeter to you and to the rest of us since he does hold the key cards for attaining our goals. So, interrogate the information that we need from him by just observing; he "might spill the beans", but if he becomes too much of a bother and interferes, we will have no other choice, but to eliminate him sooner than we thought and take his precious duel energy for us to use. Hopefully, this won't occur and that you are by now aware that we need what he has to be in our possession in our laster phases. We still have much to do until then. Now, go find out what you can…from anyone…about anything in relation to these Lords of Chaos, and report back when it's completed."
As Bastion quickly bowed his head and turned to leave, he was stopped when the boss replied, "Oh, and by the way, I suggest you take another comrade with you this time to assist you on this mission."
As the Bastion tried to leave for a second time, he was stopped by the boss' response again, but this time in very threatening tone, "Oh, and another thing...you have four days to complete this before I'll send someone after you and your comrade of choice. Don't disappoint me again with your tardiness. You know by now that I do not tolerate tardiness, especially from you. I'm a busy man, and we need this completed as soon as we can; for the time draws near that we need our plans to be completed to the next phase. So, the next time that you're late their will be severe consequences, and when I mean severe, I mean ruthless…cruel… painful…and torturous consequences."
All Bastion could do after hearing the last statement was stand there with no answer or movement; and he continued to stand there while waiting to see if the boss wanted to say something else, which surprisingly his boss replied calmly again, "Well…what are you waiting for? Sometime today would be a lovely time to get started, especially now that you have a deadline to beat, three days, twenty-three hours, and fifty-nine minutes and counting."
Finally, Bastion left through the same large door that he came in, and the boss' shadow was revealed to be a tall man with a brawn-built body, but the bight light only showed his clear, psychotic eyes. He had the same look as the villain, Dartz; (calm, but you could tell that he was full of evil motives) as he was looking at a computer monitor screen, he laughed manically and the bright lights dimmed out.
As Bastion was standing by the large door that he just came out of, he was stopped by the same goof-ball from earlier, who heard the boss' laugh and replied humorously, "Well…..what joke did you tell that made him laugh like that 'cause I'd like to know what it is. So, I can use it on him later."
"Believe me, you won't need to know whatever he's laughing at; first of all, because he's psychotic anyways, and secondly, you'll be coming with me for the next four days," Bastion said casually to the Scottish man while putting his sunglasses back on.
"Whaaaaat…! What deed did I do that went unpunished; I mean four days, and with you, that is like the end of the wor…" the Scottish man stopped his sentence. As he noticed that Bastion was staring at him, he could just tell that he was giving him the strangest look behind those dark glasses. "…Uh…Ha, just kidding; so, what's the mission, Lieutenant Misawa? What did "The General" order this time?" the Scottish man stated amusingly with his hand giving the salute to Bastion.
Bastion could do nothing, but sigh and he stated strictly, "Our mission is that we need to know… who knows about the Chaos Legend. So, here's the plan…We're going to be finding out if Jaden, or anyone else, that seems to know about this and duel them to find out just how much they know. You're going to be dueling Jaden with that Dark World Deck of yours, and we'll see just how well he fairs this time around, especially when he sees Brron and the other Dark World Lords again…so, just to be clear on our plan, don't try so hard to win, "The General" wants him left alone until the time is right to humiliate him, but I'm allowing you to duel him, just so we can personally see how strong he's actually gotten. And, I'll be dueling Chancellor Sheppard for information. Got it?"
"Jeez!…so, uh?…just to be clear that I've it heard correctly…I'll duel this old comrade of yours and interrogate him for info about the Chaos Legend using my Dark World Deck…and I'll try not to win, which of-course will be difficult for me since I'm not really the kind-of person who just loses on purpose, especially during a duel. Well, have I gotten it…uh, my part anyway, right?" the Scottish man asked.
"Right, think you can handle that, or should I chooses another comrade to assist me." Bastion jokingly asked.
"Na…of-course not…who better to help you than your best pal…and, at least, I'll get some action for a change; plus, after hearing your stories about him, I'm pretty sure I won' be bored out-of-my-mind knowing the kind-of personality that this guy, Jaded, has" replied the Scottish man with a very pleased attitude.
Bastion quickly corrected him while shaking his head with embarrassment, "No, its Jaden not Jaded; at least get his name correct. You represent our organization, and we don't want to have dafty goof representing us."
The Scottish man responded back with the same humorous tone, "Whoa…easy smart guy… so-what if his name is Jaded, or Judai, or Jaden, or even J for that matter…Whatever it'll be, it's no big deal what we call him…all I need to know is that he's the one with the Hero "Neos" Deck and sees a (Winged Kuriboh) and (Yubel) as spirit guardians, like a crazy, not-normal person." He continued, "So, it won't be too hard to find this guy. Plus, you've told me all about his strategies and personality before. It'll be fun to interrogate him, and it'll be a piece-of-cake ……Mmmm…well, I'm mood for cake right about now. How 'bout first we get somethin' to eat? I'm starved."
"Later, you can eat…" Bastion replied impatiently while he rolled his eyes, "first, find Jaden then we'll get food, Got it? We only have four days; so, there's no wasting time. Besides you had enough time to eat, while you were out here guarding and doing absolutely nothing, while I was giving my report to The General. Let's just go and get this over with; the sooner that this is done, the sooner we can take our break and eat."
"Wha…I can't believe that there's a time-limit. Brilliant move, Lieutenant Misawa! I bet the boss did that 'cause you were late. Anyway, we should use our new special armor; so, they don't figure out our identities, and as an extra bonus…we'll be safe from most Battle Damage and Direct Attacks during our duels. That will surely surprise them to know that it's going to take an extra hard work to damage our Life Points."
At that moment, the Scottish man pulled out two Spell Cards and activated them. He closed his eyes and exclaimed, "(Shadow Armor)!!" As he said this, a dark armor surrounded the Scottish man and Bastion from head to toe; they looked like futuristic Super Soldiers. (NOTE: For those who are still confused about what the armor looks like on them, they both look like the Master Chief from the game, Halo, but with a much darker tone and if your still confused just google "Halo". I'm sure you'll see what I'm talking about; just incase, I did not describe it well enough.)
He continued with excitement, "…well, good thing the boss found this spell for us to protect ourselves and our identities…for now anyways, and not only that…it's effects will be useful since we won' lose as easily, like we chaps need it. I mean, we're tough duelists without this spell "armor" protecting us; it's only going to make our duels longer and boring, but it'll be fun to watch our opponent's squirm and figure out just how to beat us. We're going to be one-unbeatable duo. "
Bastion replied unimpressed. "…let's just get a move on, already…I want to get this done before todays over with." Bastion then pulled out the same duel card from earlier, the (D.D. (Different Dimensional) Gate), and activated it.
"This should be fun," the Scottish man replied.
"Fun, doesn't even begin to describe it," Bastion responded to the other man's comment.
As they both entered into the portal, they looked at each other, and you could tell that they we thinking the same thing; so, they began to laugh hysterically, "HA, HA, HA, HA, HA, HA, HA,….,"and walked into the portal as they disappeared without a trace.
TO BE CONTINUED…
New Cards:
Shadow Armor: When activated, this spell card can reduce any Battle Damage and Direct Attacks to 0 to the user of this card. When this is activated, you can pay 500 LP or discard one card from your hand or deck to continue using this card's effect when Battle Damage or Direct Attacks occur. If not, then this card will be destroyed. This card cannot be destroyed by an opponent's spell, trap, or monster effects and only by the user of this card. (SPELL / Continuous)
Not A New Card, but just for your information:
Different Dimensional Gate: Select 1 Monster Card each from you and your opponent's sides of the field and remove them from play. When this card is destroyed and sent to the Graveyard, return those monsters to the field in the same battle position as when they were removed from play. (SPELL / Continuous) ((NOTE: I change this card's effect just a little so Bastion and the Scottish man could travel to different places faster, but you get the idea.))

Author's Notes #2:
((Please comment; Let me know what you think, and I'll update with the next chapter, as soon as I can. Sorry, again for the delay of this chapter. Also, if there was a problem with this chapter, I'll revise it before moving on to the next chapter. On another note, sorry, if I didn't use the Samurai's effects a lot, but there will be a next time; so, don't fret.
Note to readers, Hopefully, I did not offend anyone whose heritage is Scottish when I was only trying to give this new character the best Scottish accent as best as I could and that you, the readers, could understand what the character was saying, as well. And, hopefully, you all enjoyed the personality I gave him. I'm also having trouble deciding on a name for this new character that seems to originate from the United Kingdom. So, if anyone wants help me out, I'll take suggestions anytime.
Also, to BEWK, hopefully, you liked this chapter and Adam's debut.)
