Author's Note #1:
(( First, I'd like to apologize for my incredibly slow progress to update this story. I'm sure that if you've read my bio, you probably know that I have a pretty busy life; thus, thank-you to all my readers for your patience.
Secondly, it's the same as before, please let me know if I make a mistake on Thomas' or Hassleberry's Cards, just so I won't make the same mistakes twice; (if I do make a mistake, hopefully, it didn't ruin the story for you.) Just Let Me Know, and I'll try to fix it when I have time or during chapter revisions.
Thirdly, more details on my story, any season five stuff, and other miscellaneous stuff can be found on my (LJ) LiveJournal page – which is currently found on my FanFic Bio page ((it's on my Homepage link))
and yes…I do plan to write a second arc for Season 5, after this arc--of course, (just like most anime, all seasons are divided into arcs), which is TBA later.
Also, note that (Different Dimensional Gate) will be called (D.D. Gate) from this point on, unless I state it otherwise -- as I said last chapter,
Finally, as always, "THANKS" for those who gave a review, added me to your favorites, or added me your story alert. Also, thanks to (Crystal Rose of Pollux), (15animefreak15), my brother and anyone else, who help me pick names for future characters by giving me advice and suggesting some good ones that I could use.
Thanks for your patience…And, ENJOY Chapter 4! ))
Now LAST TIME on Yu-Gi-Oh! GX (Or…For those who have forgotten ^_^)…
…"My name is Adam Rhodes; you probably know my sister, Alexis, and my brother, Atticus…
……Jaden answered very excitedly to Adam…[and] They both yelled, "Game on!"
-------
…half-way across the world, the D.D. portal opened up and the biker from earlier came out…, which revealed to be…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…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…
-------
…Adam looked at his watch and realized that it was 3:30pm. "Well, I'll gonna end this now…Go (Zanji), it's your turn."
Jaden smiled and said, "Sorry…by activating, (Transcendent Wings). Now, my (Winged Kuriboh) will evolve to…into (Winged Kuriboh LV10)!
"Whaaaaat…my monsters…my points," As he fell to his knees, Adam depressingly replied…
[Eventually, he] stood up and said, "Looks like we're here…" …the three of them just stood there on the deck of the boat…as their boat got closer to Duel Academy.
-------
…Finally, Bastion left through the same large door……that he just came [in from and] was stopped by the same goof-ball from earlier…
"…you'll be coming with me for the next four days," Bastion said casually to the Scottish man while putting his sunglasses back on…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…Bastion then pulled out the same duel card from earlier, the (D.D. Gate), and activated it.
…As they both entered into the portal, they looked at each other, and …began to laugh hysterically, "HA, HA, HA, HA, HA, HA, HA,….,"and walked into the portal as they disappeared without a trace.
Disclaimer: I'm pretty sure everyone knows that I, Yokai Summoner, do not own these characters or the show, except the new characters, Adam and another new character, Edward Thomas, which I thank my brother for giving me ideas about this new character. I may have changed each character's purpose from the series to fit this story, by accident and purposely, but it's close enough to what would actually happen over the time skip; plus, that's why they call this site, FanFiction.
Chapter 4 (Ep. 184) – The Main Threat Moving [Hassleberry VS. Thomas]
(Location: Duel Academy's Docks)
The three guys finally have arrived to their destination. While Adam began to dock the boat ashore, Jaden suddenly asked him a question, "So, what do you want us to do with the boxes now?"
Adam replied surprised by his question, "You know, you guys don't have to stick around …I'm sure I can manage doing the rest. And, besides…don't you have somewhere else to be?"
Jaden responded casually and happily, "Yeah, but I'm in no rush and there's always enough time to help a friend out."
Syrus added to that, "Yeah…anyways, like we said before, you are Alexis' and Atticus' brother so we're always glad to help you out, and even if you weren't their sibling, that's just our thing because that's what good friends do. Besides, isn't this a bit much for you to do all by yourself?"
Adam responded back, "Yeah, I suppose you're right." Then, while looking around the harbor, he added, "Well, to tell you guys the truth, "originally" I was waiting for two other volunteers to help me out. Remember when I told you guys that Ms. Dorothy needed someone to help her run the card shop, right?"
Both, Jaden and Syrus, nodded their heads in agreement to Adam's question.
So, he continued to explain, 'Well, there were others who signed up for 'the volunteer thing' besides me…while two out of all the other volunteers that I know of did signed up for this same task, but as you can see, it turns out that they never bothered to show."
"Well, that's not very nice…I mean, ditching volunteer work…and on the first day, geez. The students are worse than you Jay," Syrus replied to Adam as he looked at Jaden, who was surprised by his comment.
Jaden responded to Syrus' statement, "What do you mean? I wasn't a horrible student; I just have my own method of learning." Then, he started chuckling to himself since it seemed to him that his last statement was funny, like it was a joke.
"Jay, you fell asleep on the first day of school," Syrus seriously replied and gave a small sigh as he continued, "…well, at least you never ditched, especially volunteer work. If they didn't want to do it, why bother signing up to do volunteer work in the first place?" Syrus explained himself to Jaden and Adam.
"I agree, but then again…they could've been late for a good reason. You never know," smiled Jaden as he reasoned with Syrus and Adam.
"Well, it had better be a very good reason …anyways I guess you guys do make good substitutes. So, if you guys are positive that you won't mind sticking around a bit longer; then, all these boxes are to go onto those three rolling-crates." He said this as he pointed to the three carts that was found on the edge of harbor. "We can fit about twenty-five boxes onto each of these carts, which would give us exactly enough room to moves these seventy-five boxes. We'll move them out together to the card shop while saving time. Sound cool?"
(( NOTE: (from ch.3)
"…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."...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…"
For those who are confused about the boxes OR BOTHERED TO PAY ATTENTION TO THIS DETAIL– it took Adam 2hrs to move 25 boxes & with Jaden and Syrus' help, Adam was able to move 50 boxes in 2 hrs INSTEAD OF 25…EqualING a total of 75 boxeS FOR THEM TO MOVE…cause 25 + 50 = 75, WHICH IS WHY IT TAKES 3 ROLLING-CRATES TO MOVE 75 BOXES WITH 25 IN EACH CRATE…CAUSE 25 x 3 = 75 last I checked – Yeah, I really thought about this since I think about every detail in my fic…hint, hint,…this maybe an important detail to know in the future...maybe? We'll see…hopefully, this clears any confusion about this to anyone who was paying attention or keeping track. ))
Jaden and Syrus looked at each other and in agreement exclaimed, "You bet!"
So, the three friends, once again, moved the boxes, but this time onto the crates. When they completed that task, they began to roll them toward the school, which is where the card shop would be. As they continued their way toward the school, they eventually came across a duel near the red dorms.
(Location: Somewhere nearby the current duel, the one that Jaden, Syrus, & Adam stumbled upon, on top of a grassy cliff, which is also nearby a cluster of trees)
As the D.D. Gateway opened up, Bastion and the Scottish man came out.
The Scottish man gave a deep sigh that was loud enough for Bastion to hear, and he looked around the landscape and asked in the usual stereotypical Scottish accent, "So, are ya sure that we're at the right Academy," As he was still looking around for something interesting to look at, he stated as if somewhat answering his own question and implying that they were at the wrong location, "This looks more lik' a forest to me."
Bastion replied in a jokingly manner, "You're very observant…do you want a rare card or something?"
The other guy responded excitedly and was still dense that Bastion was only joking, "No Kiddin'…Sure! I always love new additions to add to my deck." Then, when he looked at Bastion, whose head was shaking sideways in disapproval, he asked, "Wait-a-min' here…are you pullin' my leg again? I don't like that, you know; it ain't nice to kid like that …maybe someday, I'm just gonna take a rare card from your deck if you keep joking like that."
Bastion sighed and responded, "Seriously, I was only jesting to your dimwitted question."
"I thought there were no such thin' as stupid questions," replied Bastion's friend as he crossed his arms and pouted like a child.
"Well, in your case, there are 'such things as stupid questions' that don't need answers to." He continued with a serious attitude, "…And, of course, we're at the correct Academy, and I do hope that you were paying attention when I told you about my time here. This place is supposed to be an island with forests, volcano, a haunted dorm, and all that nonsense." He continued to explain, which seem to bore his friend's mind, "As I told you before, the actual Academy structure is near the center of the island where the dorms are scattered throughout the forest."
"Alright-Alright, I get the point you're making…I'm not a brainless oaf, you know…but how do you know that we're at the 'right' Academy. I thought you said there were other Academies, like this one: North Academy, South Academy, East Academy, and West Academy. So, how ca' ya be so sure if were at the right one and that this Jaded is here," responded the Scottish man who was still waiting for an answer to his first question.
"…Because, I just do ……and besides, if I remember correctly…at our current location, we should be near the red dorms," replied Bastion as he ignored his friend's mistake with Jaden's name again and started to walk towards the edge of a nearby cliff.
"Yea, but you still got no p'oof that this chum of yours is here," said the Scottish man as he continued to insist that they were at the wrong location.
Bastion stopped at the edge and was looking down; then, he answered his friend, "You want proof…well, I say seeing the actual person is proof enough." He said this as he noticed Jaden and his friends just arriving at the duel site, and he knew that he was also currently overlooking a duel between Hassleberry and a new Obelisk student.
"What'ca talking about now?" asked the Scottish guy as he joined Bastion on his left side at the edge of the cliff, and he noticed the same thing. He then exclaimed "Hey, A DUEL…All'right! Some action for a change……Hey, is it just me…or I'm seeing things…" he took a pause then answered, "that's Tom down there, right? In the duel…dressed in blue?"
"It sure looks that way," replied Bastion.
"Huh…"
"What?..." Bastion asked since it seemed like he was implying something.
"Oh, uh…just how come he's wearing blue…I mean you were a Ra yellow, right? …And blue meant that you were in Obelisk, which is higher than yellow, right?" asked the Scottish man carefully.
"Y-Y-Yeah, so?"
"Uh? Nevermind…I was just thinkin' out loud is all," his friend responded quickly, but he didn't fool Bastion; he knew exactly what his friend was trying to ask, which in any case, he didn't bother to explain at the moment.
(Location: At the current duel site with Jaden, Syrus, and Adam as spectators, Hassleberry and Tom, which was stated by the Scottish guy, are dueling while Bastion and his friend are watching nearby on top a grassy cliff without letting their presence be known.)
As Jaden, Syrus, and Adam just arrived at the duel site; Jaden and Syrus already knew that one of the duelists was their friend, Tyranno Hassleberry while the other was some new guy from Obelisk Blue since he wore their uniform. Also, the duel looked like it started awhile ago since their Life Points weren't very high.
Hassleberry: 1500 – 3 card in hand - 1 face-down - 1 monster on field
New Obelisk-Blue Student [Tom]: 4000 – 4 cards in hand - 1 face-downs - 2 monsters on field
((NOTE: Hassleberry has the (Black Stego) in face-up DEF mode (2000), while the other guy has (Kaiser Seahorse) in ATK mode (1700) and (The Creator) in face-up DEF mode (3000)))
"Well, well, well…it looks like we're going to have some witnesses to see you lose. Too bad for you that I'm gonna 'clean your clock' in front of these people," Tom arrogantly stated.
Hassleberry responded with an annoyed attitude, "Yeah, yeah, yeah…just keep on blabbing, soldier…it's not gonna make you win any faster, and I'll be the one to take advantage of that and embarrass you…not the other way around, Dragon Punk."
"Well, we'll just see now won't we, Dino Dork," Tom commented.
Then, Syrus finally asked them after listening to their lame comebacks, "Hey…uh…Hassleberry…uh, why are you guys dueling…is this an exam or something?"
"Huh? …oh HEY, Private Truesdale and Sarge! What are you guys doing back here?" Hassleberry asked who was very happy and surprised to see his friends again so soon, as he continued to ask, "Did'ya forget that you both graduated and don't need to come back?"
"Geez, I can't believe that you got pet names for them, too…boy, do I feel sorry for you guys," said Tom as he responded to Hassleberry's comments that were directed to his friends.
"Was I talking to you? …NO! Last I checked, I was talking to the worthy duelists, not losers, who talk about nonsense," responded Hassleberry with the same annoyed attitude as before.
"Are you sure that you're talking about me? 'Cause it seems like you were describing yourself," said Tom with a joker-like smile.
"Why I outta…" said Hassleberry as his comments trailed off, "You gonna be sorry, soldier when I'm done with you."
"Ooooo…I'm so scared of Dino Dork's bootcamp-style dueling. Maybe if you were winning then your trash-talking might actually be something to be reckoned with," Tom remarked.
Adam finally spoke up to ask, "…um…just a quick question, you guys don't happen to be volunteers for Ms. Dorothy that were suppose to go to Domino city to help move boxes there…right?...please tell me that I'm wrong." He was hoping that his suspicions were wrong, but then again, they were near Duel Academy's Dock.
Both Tom and Hassleberry said, "Huh," while Tom continued with an answer, "Yeah, we are…and just how'd you know that?"
"How'd I know?" Adam smiled and looked at two new friends, "Can you believe it, and he asks "how'd I know"? It's Simple…I'm the third volunteer that had the same assignment as you guys, but it seems that when I arrived at Domino, I was short on help because you two were busy having your duel here," replied Adam with a bit of an annoyed attitude. He continued, "I can't believe it that you guys were having fun while I was doing most of the work."
"Well, we did help alot, you know," reminded Syrus.
"I know, which I am grateful for the help, but still….if you and Jaden never showed up, these two freeloaders were gonna leave me to do all the work. Talk about lame volunteers," Adam explained.
"Well, you can blame it all on him," Hassleberry replied in a childish manner.
Adam said, "What?" while Jaden and Syrus stood there surprised that Hassleberry was pointing the blame on the other guy.
"What! ME! Look buddy, you need to get your eyes checked because last time I recall, it takes two people to have a duel. So, don't go pinning it all on me when you're just as much to blame as me!" exclaimed Tom. He continued to state, "So, whoever-you-are, Dino Dork and I will be happy to make it up to you…soon."
"Wow, a name like and it would take you forever to fill out forms," replied Jaden who was only trying to lighten the mood of the situation.
"What? My name is not "whoever-you-are" it's Adam."
"Fine…Dino Dork and I will be happy to make it up to you, Adam, I promise…and I always keep my promises," said Tom as he thinking. "After I duel this dork, I'll have to fix my rep…I'm not started my school year as a freeloading liar..."
(Location: back to Bastion and his friend who are observing the argument on top a grassy cliff)
"So…uh…sorry to ask, but its jus' really buggin' me…I mean, how could Tom hav' gotten into the Obelisk-blue dorm when you only got into Ra-yellow? You're like ten times smarter and ten times better at dueling than he was," asked Bastion's friend.
He continued with still no answer, "I thought the blue dorms were higher than the yellow dorms, and last I checked, he stunk big time at duelin'; so, shouldn't he be in the red dorms or something…and since when was Tom interesting in joining Duel Academy. Quite frankly, I thought he hated Academies or anything about school, right?"
Bastion still did not answer his question, and it seems like he was going to continue ignoring his friend's comments. So, the Scottish man changed the subject, "Well, I guess there's no need to get a headache thinkin' abou' it, right? …So, which ones Jaded, again?"
Bastion thought to himself as he looked at his friend's direction, "Only you could get a headache over something so simple…he must be up to something, or he would not be here. He wasn't too fond of the idea when I joined Duel Academy. Guess I'll worry about that later." Then Bastion answered his question, "Jaden is the one with the brown hair in the red jacket."
((NOTE: Jaden is still wearing the new academy uniform and with same the longer hair-style from season 4.))
"That goofy kid…Hahahahaha, you're joking right? The one who just told the lame joke about that kid's name…whoever-it-was…Adam, right? …Hahahahaha," the Scottish man chuckled to himself. "Please, tell me that he isn't the one, who beat you……Hahahahaha," said the Scottish man still finding something funny to chuckle about.
"Would you care to elaborate what is so damn funny?" said Bastion with a serious attitude since he did not get what his friend could be chuckling at.
His friend sighed quietly, took a deep breath, and responded, "Sorry…no offense, but I swear, I could've died tryin' so hard from laughing too loudly; it was seriously starting to hurt my sides."
Bastion said with an emotionless tone, "Yes, cause that would be such a tragedy to died of something so dim-witted, and besides, that's not even logically possible."
"I know!…come on…no one can replace me," said the Scottish man as he gave Bastion a strong pat on the back that it seemed to have made him lose his balance and was about to fall off the cliff, but before he fell into the duel, he was grabbed on his shoulder pads of his dark (Shadow Armor) by his friend just in time.
Bastion then cursed his friend under his breath and turned to face him, while trying his best not to lose his temper and risk jeopardizing their mission. Then, the Scottish guy replied nervously while Bastion was looking at his friend, "Whoops…uh……Good thin' I was here to grab ya or you would've had to complete the rest of this mission with a broken neck…right? Hehe…" As his chuckled died, he could tell, even with the armor on, that Bastion was not at all happy that he almost pushed him over the cliff.
(Location: Back to the current duel site with Jaden, Syrus, and Adam as spectators, Hassleberry and Tom, who are both still arguing, as Bastion and his friend are still having their own conversation and watching nearby on top a grassy cliff without letting their presence be known.)
"Now then…where was I…oh yeah, I was just going to put you in your place," said Hassleberry.
"What is this 'place' you plan to put me in?" asked Tom since he was confused about Hassleberry's insult.
Hassleberry now with the confused look responded, "What?"
"Ha, you're clueless, aren't you…are you blind or just plain stupid? ...you know your bark is a lot worse than your bite. So, if you have a strategy to put me in my place, go right ahead," said Tom tauntingly.
"Jay this is really getting out-of-hand, especially with the lame comebacks," Syrus told Jaden, who was now getting tired of listening to their argument.
"Yeah, I know what you mean," answered Jaden. "I just wanna know what really started all of this?"
"I'll tell you…that Dragon Punk thinks his dragons can beat my dinos any day," said Hassleberry who heard Jaden's question.
"THINK? I'll PROVE it because today is going to be the day that I'll actually have the answer to that question, which will make it a FACT," said Tom as he continued, "Not only will that question will become a fact, but I'll show you how pathetic your dinos really are by beating them in a good-ol' fashion duel."
Hassleberry told Jaden, "…Anyways, as I was saying…I'm here to give'em a lesson in Dino 101 and prove him wrong. By the end of today, he'll be kissing my boots, kissing the mud that I walk on, and respecting the Dinos since they deserve it; that was the deal!"
Tom responded with another insult while correcting Hassleberry on the deal they made, "Oh, barf-me. And, you got it all wrong about the deal we made…see the loser will be kissing up to the other guy, worshiping the ground the winner walks on, and you can forget about the deal about kissing the other guy's boots 'cause I actually don't want a dino dud touching any of my belongings."
While Hassleberry growled at Tom for going back on his word, Adam silently commented, "You gotta be kidding me," while Syrus and Jaden exchanged looks at each other thinking the very same thing as Adam.
(Location: back to Bastion and his friend who are observing the argument on top on a grassy cliff)
To break the tension from earlier, for almost pushing Bastion off the cliff, he asked him a question, "So…uh…that Dino Dude and our friend sure has got some spunk, don't they?" The Scottish guy still received the silent treatment, but he was hoping that his friend would have forgotten or had forgiven him by now; so, he tried again with a different question, "uh… what do'ya supposing why Tom's dueling…I mean really…it can't be as simple as 'Dragons are better than Dinos,' right? What do'ya think?"
After a short pause, Bastion finally answered him like nothing happened, "It doesn't matter why he's dueling or why he's even at this Academy; that's not our concern right now."
"Oh, okay…" said the Scottish guy happily, who was now glad that his friend finally answered him and somewhat forgave him for the incident earlier. He continued to reply, "So, let's get my part of the mission over with then." The Scottish guy was now ready to interrupt the duel below by looking around and finding a way down the cliff; he was about to turn around to leave until Bastion put his arm out, which stopped his friend immediately in his tracks, "What's wrong?"
"Maybe, we could wait a bit…there's no need to go rushing in and attracting an audience during this mission," said Bastion.
"Wha…I thought there was a time limit …you're just worried that your school-friend chums will find out and screw everything up, aren't you?"
Bastion replied instantly, "Idiot…you know better that; even if you are right, "The General" would not be pleased at all if you went into a duel carelessly and jeopardized this mission for the organization." Then, after a short pause, he added mysteriously, "…well, especially so soon, anyway."
The Scottish guy thought more about what Bastion just said since he was usually correct, even if he hasn't been with the organization very long; he was right about one thing, and it could have grave consequences in the end if "The General" found out that they were careless during any mission. So, he sighed and replied complainingly, "…yeah, I guess you're right…Geez, sometimes it's just no fun being part of somethin' when there are just too many rules involved. Anyway, don' we have other people to find besides Jaded and Sheppard; they can't be the only ones that we after, right?"
Bastion explained to his friend, "Yeah we do, but don't worry about that right now… since the next person could be anyone, really." He explained further, "We need to first worry about Jaden and Chancellor Sheppard since they are the ones that usually know something useful, and I'd like to see Jaden use his spirit monsters, (Winged Kuriboh) and especially (Yubel), in at least one duel to see if the rumors are true; so, I'm hoping you'll bring them out by beating him during most of the duel that is until the end. If you win against Jaden, then it might tip him off about Hirouka Corp.'s strength and we can't have that now, which is the main reason why you must throw the duel. Hopefully, he is still as clueless as before and will not pose as a threat right now."
"Ohhh…but I just really hate losing, you know. You're the only one who's ever beaten me in a duel besides "The General" himself. Must I ruin my dueling record all because we want to leave him in the dark," the Scottish guy whined. "You do realize that he's going to find out sooner or later, and I think sooner is always better than later…that's wha' my bro always says, Am I right?"
Bastion gave a sigh and tried to explain again, "You're missing the point. I would prefer to leave it where Jaden is not involved in my personal affairs. You are only to duel him to see if he knows anything about the Chaos Legend and see his spirit monsters. You know, spirit monsters don't reveal themselves unless the conditions are proper, like if one's about to lose, which is probably how he is always able pull a fast one at the end of his duels. Also, if he really just doesn't know anything, we will not waste any more time with him in the future; not only that, but quite frankly, I'm tired of covering for your mistakes…so, no mistakes, right? Do you understand the plan with Jaden now?" Then, he paused and looked at his friend as he stated, "Besides it doesn't hurt to enjoy the show while we wait for Jaden to be alone. He'll be alone sooner or later…and, in this case later is better than sooner, don't you think? Plus, I'm sure that you'll find that this kind of drama is much better than on any television show."
The Scottish guy stated, "O-Alright…but I still think we shou've ate somethin' first …I really don' like to wait or watch a show on an empty stomach."
"You're such a nit-picker," replied Bastion jokingly.
"What? …nit-picker? I don' pick nits. What'r nits?"
"I mean that you're a whiner, a yammer…do you get where I'm getting at," Bastion hopefully stated that he has finally gotten the clue.
"Yeh-yeah, I get it…it means I'm stupid, right?"
Bastion sighed and thought, "Nobody's that idiotic…not even Jaden. I do not understand how this airhead can win duels, but he still can not remember Jaden's name properly or that he should keep his yammering thoughts to himself."
"Was I right?" The Scottish man anxiously asked while Bastion gave a sigh, and replied, "Just…Nevermind and watch."
(Location: Back to the current duel site with Jaden, Syrus, and Adam as spectators, Hassleberry and Tom, who are continuing their argument, as Bastion and his friend are still having their own conversation and watching nearby on top a grassy cliff without letting their presence be known.)
While Hassleberry was thinking about his next move and the previous insults that fueled his temper even more, Syrus finally thought that it was a good time to ask him, "Uh…Hassleberry…aren't Dragons related Dinosaurs?"
"What! Whose side are you on, Private?!?" asked Hassleberry.
"I agree…Sy's got a point and besides all duel monsters are cool and have an equal chance of winning," said Jaden.
Tom responded, "Yeah…now that I think about it…short-stack's got a point…" There was a short pause, and everyone thought that this new guy finally understood what Syrus and Jaden meant until he opened his mouth again while smiling, "Dinosaurs…are the retarded ancestors of the Dragons since they did go extinct first."
"HA! YEAH RIGHT! …At least, Dinos existed…Dragons only exists in fairy tales," said Hassleberry who was now more heated by that insult.
Tom retorted sharply with a new insult, "Well the way you dress, you look like you belong in a fairy tale."
"W-o-w" replied Adam slowly, while Jaden was shocked that Tom went that far with his insult and Syrus replied to Adam, "Yeah, no joke."
Above the duel on top the grassy cliff, the Scottish guy and Bastion both responded with same reaction, "Ooo…" and Bastion friend added, "Wow, you're right…this kind of drama is way better than on any regular T.V. broadcasting."
Hassleberry was now fuming with rage and the only response he could say was, "Too far. Insulting my monsters is one thing, but insulting my threads too…you're gonna get it now."
He was about to play a card until Syrus, who started the whole topic idea, said after thinking about what he said about Dragons relating to the Dinosaurs, "Uh…you know what, guys…just nevermind…that's not what I meant by that."
Tom countered, "No-no, you're right for pointing that out." He continued, "Besides…everyone knows that Dragons are better than Dinosaurs, and I based this on Dueling History…don't you know that Seto Kaiba, himself, who was only second to the king of games, always used a Dragon Deck that revolves abound his Blue-Eyes White DRAGON…and not a Blue-Eyes White DINO. And, last I remember, that loser from the Duelist Kingdom Tournament and Battle City played a dino deck…and he lost every time."
Syrus asked Adam, "Huh…Who? …What's he talking about?"
"You don't remember…Well, that's okay…I know he's forgettable and all…so I don't blame you for not remembering, but I'll be glad to refresh your memory; it was none-other-than Rex Raptor, the Dino Duelist that was very popular among the losers, which makes him Number One Loser and your friend here Number Two." After a long pause, then he responded, "No wait, scratch that…you're Number Three 'cause I never liked Weevil either." Then, he thought more about what he just said, changed his mind, and said with a smirk, "nah…you're back to being Number Two since Weevil at least dueled better than you." After his comments, Tom laughed hysterically.
"Man, I don't know which insult is worse…the one about his deck, his clothes, or just being a dinosaur-lover," replied Syrus as Hassleberry was so surprised by that last insult that he just growled back, and his eyes changed to the eyes like a dinosaur.
Adam agreed to Syrus' remark, "No offense, but I think all of them were pretty harsh, especially the ones about his deck." On the other hand, Jaden, whose attitude changed drastically from the last insult that Tom, retorted to his friend, did not have a comment to say because it seems that he was not happy at all about that kind of talk.
Back on top on a grassy cliff, the Scottish guy jokingly commented to Bastion, "Wow, Tom's on fire today…maybe you should use your Water Deck to cool him off, right? Hahahahaha…"
"Good one…did it take you long to think of that one," replied Bastion unimpressed by his comrade's attempt at a joke.
"O-come on that was a good one. Infact, I think it's much better than the corny joke that your school-friend chum told about filling out forms using whoever-his-name."
Bastion shook his head again with disapproval and replied in the same tone of voice, "I disagree; your jokes are usually just as bad."
Hassleberry, who had enough of his opponent, exclaimed loudly as his eyes changed back to normal, "IT'S MY TURN NOW!" …I'll teach you to mess with Dino Duelists…I DRAW!" He looked at his hand and thought, "Hmmm…I guess it's not a bad start for my comeback. I just have to believe in my dinos and make sure that this Dragon Punk loses."
"Well, at least this duel is half-over…I can't stand to hear anymore of this argument," Adam told Syrus quietly.
"You said it," replied Syrus, while Jaden still had his serious attitude. Jaden thought to himself, "I can't believe that this new guy just insulted two of the best old-school duelists. Sure, Rex never won or that Weevil wasn't any better, but they weren't losers just for using a Dinosaur Deck or any other type of deck—any deck has just as much potential to win as the next. Who does this guy think he is?"
"So, let's go…you gonna summon something or not," replied Tom, who was anxious to finish the duel.
(Location: back to Bastion and his friend who are observing the argument on top a grassy cliff)
Then, the Scottish man was rethinking about what Bastion said before "…You know, spirit monsters don't reveal themselves unless the conditions are proper, like if he's about to lose…" Then, he asked, "So, if we're trying to find people with spirit monsters ...then you mean, we're looking for people like us, right?"
"Pardon?" replied Bastion, who was baffled by his question.
"You know…what you said before, and I quote, ''…spirit monsters don't reveal themselves unless the conditions are proper…"…s-s-s-so, are we to duel people like us?" asked Bastion's friend again.
Bastion still baffled by the question or the point that he was implying replied once more, "What are you talking about?"
"Come off it, you can't hide it no longer…I know all about your Magician friend, Pikeru. You're just like me and my bubby here," his friend said this and a small, purple worm spirit with several sharp needles poking out of its entire body, appeared out of nowhere and gurgled, like it was trying to communicate in a cute way.
Bastion was speechless when he saw the bug spirit, but then, he suspiciously asked his friend with a bit of a embarrassed tone as he blushed a bit, which his friend did not notice since they still had the (Shadow Armor) activated, "Where did you get off thinking that the (White Magician Pikeru) is my spirit monster? …I'll have you know that I don't have any spirit monsters."
"Hehehe…don't fib…I know you have one and don't worry, I won't let "The General" know since you never told him about mine…I'm no nark, you know? …and I always keep secrets' secret, especially if the secret is about one of my best chums."
Bastion looked in his friend's direction and his friend responded, "Wha'…I know you see 'em; this little worm spirit…let's just say, the little chum told me…" his Scottish friend said when he looked at his worm spirit as it gurgled once more and disappeared. "…and, (Pikeru) tells my pal that she giggled, and you'd the nerve to put her in your side deck and not in your dueling decks. I bet if you added her to your deck, you would've beaten Tania with no trouble at all…no matter how smittn' she was with you."
"Now, how the bloody hell did he find out about that! I lose one duel to a lady, and it haunts me for the rest of my life," thought Bastion as he tried his best to ignore his comrade's remarks by trying his best to concentrate on the drama below.
His friend continued, "You know…deny all you want…that's how it usually starts and pretty soon she and you would be an inseparable team. She'll even tell you secrets that you've never knew before."
Bastion getting a bit embarrasses and grown wearily of the topic that his friend brought up; he responded rapidly, "What's your point with all of this chatter…can't you just enjoy watching the duel. I thought you wanted to go on more mission and check out duels, instead of being stuck guarding a door, and hanging around that depressing place."
His friend looked at him suspiciously close until suddenly, Bastion thought of a new topic idea to get his comrade's mind off the current topic about spirit monsters, "Uh…I-Is that tuna and garlic that I smell on your breath…Geez, you definitely need to pop a little something in your mouth."
His friend continued to look suspiciously at him until Bastion replied, "What…do not you believe me…or would you rather have someone else that you do not know very well to tell you that your breath reeks."
"Hm…I see what you'r doing here…changing the subject are we?" The Scottish man added, "So, you'r still not comfortable talking about this topic, eh? ...fine, we can talk all about it when we return back to HQ. I'll make a believer out of you yet, and you can't say that "it's illogical, irrational, and just plain ri-de-cu-lous" like you usually say about things that you don' quite understand. I really just don' understand why you can't just admit that (Pikeru) is your spirit guardian…I mean, she's not all that weak, and she does have a wicked ability to heal during your Standby Phase…Anyway, we're gonna have a long discussion about this later, and there's no avoiding it."
Bastion thought to himself,"Great, like talking about 'card crushes' and 'birds' with Jaden, Syrus, and Chumley wasn't embarrassing enough…Now I gotta discuss this with him…'thoroughly.' I still can not believe how can he mispronunciate Jaden's name so many times or with other simplier words and yet, he remembers word-per-word what I said ten minutes ago, and of all people in the world, I have talk about this stuff with him." After a short pause, he look at his friend, and thought, "What I can't understand is how did he discover so much when I never told anyone about my duel with Tania or about (Pikeru)..the only ones who knew were the ones that were guarding the spirit keys, but even they never knew about (Pikeru)...unless......Hm." Bastion now realized that he might have told one person back home, and his attitude changed again.
He then replied with a serious attitude to his comrade, "You know what…"
The Scottish man replied anxiously, "What?"
"Quit you're chattering and just enjoy the duel, or I will send you back to headquarters; so, enough with palavering already and just watch the duel," said Bastion as he saw the dino duelist draw a card from his deck.
"Fine, I'll clam up for now, but seriously this conversation's not over. Anyway, why don' I just butt in and put an end to this drama already; I still say the quicker I get this over with the better," countered the Scottish man.
Bastion, who was relieved that topic about spirit monsters ended, as he said, "Seriously, you do not need to worry, you will get your turn before today's over with, and Jaden will probably have some clue about our organization and where our loyalties truly lie…and no doubt that Chancellor Sheppard already knows something about the new rising corporation, the 'Wicked Warfare Society', and the other sides of this war…there is no need to rush even if we got a time-limit; all, we need to know is how much do 'they' really know, got it? Now, Hassleberry's about to pick up where he left off…so, pay attention."
"So…Is that what the buff guy's name is, pretty cool, eh?" Then, his friend continued his statement, "Fine with me, I'll enjoy it, but I can't fully enjoy a duel on an empty stomach." Bastion's comrade then pulls a snack out of his backpack when Bastion grabbed it and replies, "I don't so."
As he said this, his friend's expression was priceless, even with the armor, like a youngster caught sneaking food from a cookie jar. "You can't eat now…you chew much too loudly, and you'll give us away. Not to mention that your breath reeks already, and are you really that dense to eat with that armor on...and there is no way that you're deactivating it just to eat. I'm just as hungry as you are; so, if I have to wait so do you."
The Scottish man responded childishly, "wha'…you'starve me, you'bore me with info that I don't care to know about…." Then, he trailed off knowing that Bastion was looking at him with a serious attitude again because he just said something that he should not have and continued to answer, "…um…see, I told you that we should've eaten something before we got here…I'm startin' to feel famished...argh, why can't I just refuel and regain my strength."
"Maybe if you talked a little less then you wouldn't be so tired all the time," answered Bastion.
"Humph." His comrade crossed his arms and started to look like he was pouting again.
"Come on…don't be like that now…we'll eat right after we duel our first two targets as planned, and we'll figure out whose going to be our next targets during our meal…alright. Now clam up and pay attention."
There was a few seconds of silence, but then it was betrayed once again as he opened his mouth, "So, who'd you thinks gonna win?"
Bastion turned to his comrade and growled back for opening his mouth, yet again, and betraying that silence, while the only thing his friend could do was to say delicately, "What?...." since he was unaware of what he did wrong.
(Location: Back to the current duel site with Jaden, Syrus, and Adam as spectators, Hassleberry and Tom, who are now finishing their duel, as Bastion and his friend are still having their own conversation and watching nearby on top a grassy cliff without letting their presence be known.)
((NOTE: Hassleberry still has the (Black Stego) in face-up DEF mode (2000), while Thomas still has (Kaiser Seahorse) in ATK mode (1700) and (The Creator) in face-up DEF mode (3000)))
Hassleberry: 1500 – 4 card in hand - 1 face-down - 1 monsters on field
New Obelisk Blue Student [Tom]: 4000 – 4 cards in hand - 1 face-downs - 2 monster on field
Hassleberry looked at his hand, which contained (Ultimate Tyranno), (Ultimate Raptor), (Tail Swipe), and the new card he drew was (Baby Raptor). He thought to himself, "Well, not a bad hand; now, I'll show this Dragon punk to never mess with Dinosaurs." "Well, I summon (Baby Raptor) in ATK mode (1500), and I'll activate its effect. See if I tribute this soldier, I get to Special Summon a one with 'Raptor' in its name from my hand to the field, and I choose my newest recruit (Ultimate Raptor) in ATK position (3000).
"That's not so tough," responded Tom.
"What, you blind soldier, its ATK points is the least of your worries. Now pay attention, see this dino pal of mine can attack you directly if I halve the attack of this soldier until the end of the turn. So, go (Ultimate Raptor) attack that Dragon Punk," said Hassleberry.
((NOTE: Halve of 3000 = 1500ATK; So, Tom has 4000 LPs -1500 ATK from Ult. Raptor = 2500 LPs left))
"Er…show-off, you should've just destroyed my (Kaiser Seahorse) instead of weakening your monster just get to get a bite out my LPs, you would've done more damage. It was nothing but a lucky shot, and I hope you enjoy that monster while it lasts 'cause I just let you attack me…" said Tom.
Hassleberry: 1500 – 2 card in hand - 1 face-down - 2 monsters on field
Tom: 2500 – 4 cards in hand - 1 face-down - 2 monsters on field
"Lucky shot…son, that move was more than just luck…that was plain brilliance," said Hassleberry.
Tom responded, "Don't get full of yourself…now moving on."
"That will do for now," said Hassleberry.
"Fine, but I'm gonna end this all in my turn," said Tom. "First, I draw," he continued while smiling.
Hassleberry: 1500 – 2 card in hand - 1 face-down - 2 monsters on field
Tom: 2500 – 5 cards in hand - 1 face-down - 2 monsters on field
"I activate the field spell card (Mausoleum Of The Emperor). With this, we both can Normal Summon or Set monsters without any Tributes just by paying 1000 Life Points X's the number of monsters needed to Tribute Summon them."
Hassleberry: 1500 – 2 card in hand - 1 face-down - 2 monsters on field
Tom: 2500 – 4 cards in hand - 1 face-down - 2 monsters on field
He continued, "Next, I activate the spell card (Trade-In), which allows me to discard one Level 8 monster from my hand to draw 2 cards from my deck, and I send (Majestic Mech – Goryu) to the Grave."
Hassleberry: 1500 – 2 card in hand - 1 face-down - 2 monsters on field
Tom: 2500 – 2 cards in hand - 1 face-down - 2 monsters on field
So, he drew 2 cards, which showed that he drew a dragon-like Light monster and (Lightning Vortex).
Hassleberry: 1500 – 2 card in hand - 1 face-down - 1 monster on field
Tom: 2500 – 4 cards in hand - 1 face-down - 2 monsters on field
"Come on, hurry up," responded Hassleberry impatiently.
"Quiet. Good moves take time, and you're gonna wish you didn't rush me," said Tom. "Cause now, I'll activate (Lightning Vortex) just by discarding one card from my hand; so, I'll discard (Mystic Wok) to destroy all face-up monsters on your side of the field, and that includes your (Black Stego) and your (Ultimate Raptor)."
Hassleberry: 1500 – 2 card in hand - 1 face-down - 0 monsters on field
Tom: 2500 – 2 cards in hand - 1 face-down - 2 monsters on field
Hassleberry exclaimed surprised at the move, "SAM HILL!"
"Save your catch phrases for when my most powerful beast comes out to play," said Tom. He goes on with his move and explains, "Now, that you're wide open, I'll activate one more spell (Mausoleum Of The Emperor) and by Tributing 2000 of my Life Points, I can now summon my most powerful card in my deck, the (Felgrand Dragon) in ATK mode (2800)."
((NOTE: Tom now has (Felgrand Dragon) in ATK mode (2800), (Kaiser Seahorse) in ATK mode (1700), and (The Creator) in face-up DEF mode (3000).))
Hassleberry: 1500 – 2 card in hand - 1 face-down - 0 monsters on field
Tom: 500 – 1 cards in hand - 1 face-downs - 3 monsters on field
All Hassleberry could say was, "What a monster!"
Tom explains, "Now, remember I didn't need to tribute to summon this except by paying 1000 of my Life Point times the number of monsters needed to Tribute Summon, which (Felgrand Dragon) is a level 8 monster; so, it needs 2 monsters as a Tribute, but instead I'll pay 1000 times two (because it is suppose to have 2 Tributes) equaling 2000 of my Life Points."
Hassleberry: 1500 – 2 card in hand - 1 face-down - 0 monsters on field
Tom: 500 – 1 cards in hand - 1 face-downs - 3 monsters on field
"Hahaha…you're done now. Anyone of my monsters can wipe you out even if you activate that trap. It's useless to deny that you're losing; so, I'll tell you what, if you give up, I'll won't make you keep your end of the deal about the loser kissing up to the other guy and worshiping the ground the winner walks on," said Tom.
"I---No way. I am not chickening out; attack if you dare," said Hassleberry.
"Oh I dare alright…Now, (Felgrand) attack, send this Dino Dork back to the stone ages," said Tom.
As the dragon attacked, Hassleberry activated his trap. "Well, I activate (Amber Pit Trap) when this is activated, I can negate that monster's attack and switch it to DEF position and that battling monster cannot switch its Battle Position."
"Fool, I play my trap (Royal Decree), which as long as this card is face-up, it negates the effects of all Trap Cards on the field except this card; so, (Felgrand) can continue it's attack," said Tom.
Hassleberry: 1500 – 2 card in hand - 1 face-down - 0 monsters on field
Tom: 500 – 1 cards in hand - 1 face-downs - 3 monsters on field
Before Hassleberry knew it, his Life Points hit 0 from the Light dragon's attack, and Tom smiled since he was the victor of the duel.
Hassleberry: 0 – 2 card in hand - 1 face-down - 0 monsters on field
Tom: 500 – 1 cards in hand - 1 face-downs - 3 monsters on field
"Heh…now you're the loser, you're going to have to start kissing up to me and worshiping the ground 'I' walk on cause 'my deck' proved that Dragons can beat Dinos any day. In fact, it's probably the most superior kind of monster in the game of Duel Monsters," said Tom.
"That's it! I had it! You wasted all that time dueling for what type is better when really all monsters have an equal chance to win," said Adam angrily.
"Hm…look Adam; I said I'll make it up to you about the volunteer work. I'll just have Hassleberry do my share. Right, Dino Dork?" said Tom while Hassleberry's precious spunk was replaced with a sad face.
"No, you AND Hassleberry will help because you 'both' signed up to do 'volunteer work.' If you wanted to waste time dueling you should've just went to class today instead of wasting time," said Adam.
"You got a problem with me, kid. We can settle this with a duel if you want," said Tom, who was now trying to egg-him-on, which was a bit out-of- the-ordinary for Adam since he is usually a shy person.
"No…I'll duel you," and everyone looked at Jaden when he said this with a serious attitude. "The way you gloat about one type of monster being the only best there is -- it's horrible…besides, I want a crack at that deck."
"You serious," said Syrus, and Adam said, "What!" Back on top on a grassy cliff, Bastion commented to his friend, "Well, looks like you're second in line now." Then, his friend retorted back, "You mean I got to wait some more….argh."
"And, you are?" asked Tom.
Jaden responded politely, "I'm sorry, we forgot to properly introduce ourselves…I'm Jaden Yuki, this is Syrus Truesdale, and Adam Rhodes."
Tom thinking to himself, "Hm…so that's the kid; he'll definitely have answers about my friend's whereabouts. He won't get away with it; I'll tear this place apart to find him, and I'll expose the truth to the public of how this school has a haunted dorm and several missing students." He continued, "I'm Edward Thomas but just call me 'Thomas' and don't you dare call me 'Tom', only friends get to call me that, and you haven't earned that right," said Tom.
Jaden responded, "Alright then! Let's go!" As Jaden said this, (Winged Kuriboh) appeared and purred, and (Yubel) were both trying to talk some sense to Jaden, in his head, and responded, "The puffball's got a point." When she said this statement, (Winged Kuriboh) started to frown, and (Yubel) continued to tell Jaden, "I don't think it's a good idea. You need to be heading to see Chancellor Sheppard as soon as possible and not goofing off again." Jaden responded to (Yubel's) remark, "I know, but I'm not goofing around. Tom…or I mean 'Thomas' needs to learn that all monsters are valuable in their own way. I just can't stand him saying that Dragons are better than all other monsters." (Yubel) finally realized she can't stop Jaden; so, she said, "Fine…good luck then…looks like you'll need it to beat (Felgrand), especially when he uses (Mausoleum Of The Emperor)."
Tom finally responded to Jaden's comment, "Fine, put 'em up then. Oh, and Adam…you and me, it ain't over." When Adam heard this, he thought to himself, "Man, for once in your life, you just had to pick a fight with someone with a strong deck."
(Location: back to Bastion and his friend who are observing the duel and the argument on top a grassy cliff)
"Well…looks like a real battle is beginning now, don't cha' think? …but too bad, now we've got to wait some more," said the Scottish man, but when he got no answer, he looked to the side and was surprised to see that Bastion was not next to him anymore, "Wha'da?…" Then, he turned around to see Bastion leaving, "Hay, where you off to? Don't leave me here alone, all by myself? And, don' you want to see who'll win?"
"Heh, I'm going to take care of our second target. You can stay here and wait for your turn to duel Jaden. In the meantime, there is no point for me to waste any more time here waiting since I already know who's going to win," replied Bastion.
"How ya know whose going to win? You mean Tom, right?" asked his friend surprisily.
Bastion just replied sarcastically, "If you say so."
"Sounds a bit unconvincing…you're backing up your DA school chum, Jaded, and not our homeboy, aren' you?"
"Really…what makes you say that, I hope my tone of voice didn't give it away," replied Bastion in the same sarcastic tone.
"You gotta be freakin' dupin' me…you're yanking my chains aren't ya…you've lost your mind if you think that Jaded kid would win or even has a chance against Tom. Boy, have you miscalculated it, big-time. I mean, I'll understand if you say that before when Tom sucked, but now he's got some-sort-of rare dragon called 'Felgrand'…and you've the nerve to tell me that he'll lose. There's no way that anyone could beat that thin'g except us," retorted Bastion's friend who was still surprised by his friend's sarcasm.
"Hmmm…you certainly are in high confidence of our abilities, but I can assure you that the outcome of this duel will be no surprise to me. I've seen Jaden pull a fast one before and win out of any tough situations…it's really too bad that Tom's not as lucky like that," explained Bastion.
"Of-course, we'll beat him. In fact, you should go ahead and beat him in a duel righ' after we get Jaded and Sheppard…you know for old times sake," answered the Scottish man.
Bastion explains, "We'll see, until then I'm not wasting anymore time even to see if somehow Tom does miraculously win. I'm going to duel the Chancellor and see if he knows anything; so, I won't be long. Besides, I'm more interested to see how you fare against Jaden even if you must throw the duel. You'll soon see that dueling him will be no picnic; I mean, you did say that you couldn't even beat me in duel; so, that's means that you couldn't win even if you tried your best when I failed to win against him, too. Thus, I'll be back quickly to make sure that I do not miss observing that duel."
As Bastion walks away, the Scottish man was just beginning to ask him another question, "Uh? …hmm…"
Bastion than stopped in his tracks and asks, "Yes…What now?"
His comrade asked temptingly, "Well, do you want to make this mission a bit more interesting?"
"Come again?" replies Bastion.
"How about we have a bet?"
"Are you kidding me? That's what you wanted to ask? Oh, I don't suppose on who wins, now is it?" asks Bastion.
"No…nothing of that kind…but I still think Tom will beat Jaded……Anyhoo, how about I bet you won't be able to finish your duel with the Chancellor before I start my duel…no wait…infact, I'll make it longer for you, how about before I finish me duel with Jaden. I bet I will beat that goofy-kid so quick it'll save the organization the trouble of ever worrying about him again," his friend excitedly stated.
Bastion then slouches his shoulders because it was the most ridiculous bet that he has ever heard; Then, he stood up and shook his head; his comrade in return asked with a smirk, "What don' think that you've got a chance?"
"Of course I got a chance, especially if I'm betting against you, who might I add, has the worst gambling record ever; you just never win. So, really…it's no fun for me at all," teased Bastion.
"Oh, come on…if it's so easy to win then there's really nothing to worry about then…is there? Now, if I win, you pay for the next meal, and if you win then I'll pay for the meal. Sound good?"
"Sounds like your low on cash again or something of the sorts; I really don't know why you bother to waste it all on moronic bets that you know you have no chance of winning. And, why do you even bother playing these childish games when you know that I always end-of paying for the meals anyway even when it is your turn to pay up. The bet should really be that the winner pays the loser the money he owes to the other, which is another win-win situation for me since I don't owe you anything," said Bastion, who was still teasing his friend about the bet.
The Scottish man said with a smirk, "Nevermind all that rubbish…ar'you in or out?"
After a short pause, Bastion finally said, "Fine…I'm in, but no squirming your way out of this one and no complaining or wining this time when you lose. You should really know better than to bet against me everytime…you are just not-as-good-at-it as you are at dueling," resolved Bastion.
"Hey!..." The Scottish thought that the last comment was insult, but then he thought about it some more and responded happily, "Well, true that…I'll admit it that I'm better at dueling than betting, but I'm feeling a bit lucky today...what about you, eh?".
"HA!…lucky…I don't need luck to win anything; besides, you always say that before you lose, it's like you just jinxed yourself," Bastion jokingly stated while he walked further away until he was finally out-of-sight. As for the Scottish man, he giggled and thought, "Finally, I'm totally gonna win this time. Ther's no way he'll beat Sheppard before I finish my duel with 'Jaded'."
(Location: Back to the current duel site with Jaden, Syrus, and Adam as spectators, Hassleberry and Tom, who just finished their duel with Tom being the victor, and as Bastion was leaving his friend alone to duel the next target, Chancellor Sheppard, the Scottish man is now going to observe the duel between Jaden and Thomas -- which is about to start -- in the same location as before without letting his presence be known.)
Thomas cohort to Jaden, "So, you ready?!"
Then, Jaden said, "I was born ready; so, get you game on!"
TO BE CONTINUED…

Gate as stated before.))

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. I will try my best to update every month at least once, but I can't promise anything. Also, if there was a big problem with this chapter, I'll revise it before moving on to the next chapter. On another note, sorry, if I didn't use a lot of the Dinosaur deck, but the duel will probably be longer in the future chapters to come, especially the duels that involve Hassleberry, Adam, and Tom; so, don't fret.
[Note to readers, I have decided on a permanent name for the Scottish guy, which will be a common traditional Celtic name, but I will take suggestions anytime for other future characters; also, I hope you, readers, enjoyed how I portrayed the Scottish guy…just wait to see how he duels, which will be very, very soon!]
Once again, more info about this story, check out my LiveJournal website—it will be updated from every-once-in-a-while with story summaries, notes, maybe some or very little spoilers, and deck lists for the characters in this story for those interested. I'll do my best to update this site at least monthly, as well…but I do get busy. Any other advice or comments, you know how to contact me.] ))
