"No matter how you slice it, I have a bad feeling about using the Earthbound Immortals." Luna said on the way home with Leo.
"Look Luna, I know it wouldn't be our first choice, but as long as the Crimson Dragon is in control they can be valuable additions to our team." Leo said reassuringly.
"Yeah, but still I wish I didn't have to carry it around with me when I go to school." Luna said, remembering the damage Cusillu had caused when Devack used it.
"Yusei, I'm going to run out and grab some spare parts, think you and Crow can hold down the fort until I get back?" Jack asked while grabbing his jacket.
"No problem Jack, just be careful." Yusei said just before the engine blew up covering the room. "Maybe a few brooms too."
"Right, I'm off." Jack said.
I still don't believe it, the Earthbound Immortals helping us, it almost seems to good to be true, Jack thought when someone stepped in front of him.
"Well, looks like a big shot wants to get through my turf, well if you want to pass you need to pay me something worthwhile." said a scrawny man wearing a jacket two sizes too big and wearing an old model of duel disc.
"You duel? I'm actually not that bad myself." Jack said pulling out his deck. "How about this? We duel and if you win I give you my rarest card, but if I win, you leave and stop bothering people for money."
"Are you some kind of idiot? I should tell you, I never lose my deck is invincible." the man said with a grin. "Though if you want to get humiliated I can oblige."
"Duel." Said both Jack and his opponent. Jack 4000 ? 4000: "I start things off with a monster in defense mode, and I play two facedown cards. That ends my turn Mr. …" the man said while ending his turn.
"You can call me Jack, Jack Atlas." Jack said as he began his turn.
"Wait, you mean the former turbo duel champion, I have no chance against you, I'm out of here." The man said before surrendering and running off.
"Loser." Jack said while looking at what was in his hand, it contained Big Piece Golem, Dark Resonator, Archfiend Interceptor, Prideful Roar, and Earthbound Immortal AsllaPiscu. "Well, good thing I didn't have to play that." he said.
"Primo, what kind of ridiculous story is that?" a young boy, who was wearing robes similar to his, said.
"I told you already Lester, I was keeping an eye on Yusei Fudo, and he called out one of the Earthbound Immortals. It was as if he always had it." Primo said.
"Well, that throws a monkey wrench into the circuit, if the signers can get around our Meklord Emperors how are we supposed to win?" Lester asked an old man wearing the same outfit. "Jakob you have to be concerned with this."
"Not entirely, even if they possess such powerful creatures, we don't even know what powers are contained in either of our Meklords Lester, so worrying about the Immortals is pointless." Jakob said. "In any case we should keep the circuit under our eye, once it is complete our true objective can begin.
"Akiza. Akiza. Akiza!" yelled the professor from the front of the classroom.
"What, did you say something?" Akiza asked while putting Ccarayhua back in her deck box. "I'm sorry, I was thinking about something else."
"That's fine, but you're the best in our class, and so I asked if you could come and show your deck in order to help your classmates make better combos with their own cards." the teacher said calmly.
"No problem." Akiza said as she went down to explain her combos, she knew them by heart, so it would be easy to explain.
"Well, one combo I tend to use is Ivy Shackles and Copy Plant, that enables me to synchro summon powerful monsters quicker." Akiza said as she performed the combo.
"Akiza, I was unaware you had a reptile monster in your deck, does it factor into any strategies." the teacher said while picking up Ccarayhua.
"That card is one of my new ones. It hasn't been used yet."Akiza said while grabbing Ccarayhua and pocketing it.
"I'll duel you if it means we can see that card, with a name like that it must be strong." said someone in the front row.
"Great idea, it isn't everyday the two best duelists in our class have a match." the teacher said despite Akiza's complaints.
(A few turns into the duel)
Akiza 1200 Mike 2000: "My turn." Akiza said while drawing her card.
"Well, now we can see what this card is capable of." the teacher said.
Great, I don't trust these Immortals, but now I can't pretend that I didn't draw it, Akiza thought. "Well if you want to see this card, we need to go outside." Akiza said while walking out.
"Why, is the card huge or something?" asked a girl who idolized Akiza.
"Well, look for yourself, I release Rose Tentacles and Copy Plant, in order to summon Earthbound Immortal Ccarayhua." Akiza said as the monster appeared on the field.
"That is one big lizard." Mike said.
"Well, you asked so I'll explain. Earthbound Immortal Ccarayhua can't be selected as an attack target, it is immune to magic and trap cards, if it gets destroyed every card out is destroyed, and it can attack directly." Akiza said as Ccarayhua attacked Mike and wiped out his life points.
"That card is insane, no way that has all those effects." Mike said.
"Trust me, it does." Akiza said as she walked to her dorm to await the next day's classes, unknown to her however, the instant she summoned Ccarayhua Yusei's Giant glowed purple for a few seconds before turning back.
"Soon, soon the signers will fall." said a shadow before laughing menacingly.
(Akiza played her Immortal second, and something is going on with Yusei, but what. Next chapter will feature Jack dueling Trudge for old time's sake, and Skiel will appear as well. As always any reviews or critique is appreciated.)
