Echo: Aren't you going to say something?

Vamp: Do I have to?

Selena: Yes.

Vamp: Fi-ine! I do not own GX or its characters. I only own my OCs and my plot. They are copyrighted, peoples.

Chazz: They are not!

Vamp: Sush!

"You're late," Chazz said, grinning.

"Sorry," Selena replied. "I got caught up with finding your cousin." His grin fell to a frown.

"Let's just get on with it, please?" Chazz grew confused. Who's voice was that?

His unspoken question was answered soon. Aster Phoenix entered the field. He knew the voice sounded familiar!

"I heard there was going to be a duel, so I've been waiting for over an hour! You guys are so slow," Aster retorted.

"Yeah, sorry 'bout that," Selena said sheepishly. She walked over to Chazz, "Heads or tails?" She asked.

"Tails." Selena flipped a coin, caught it and looked at it.

"You go first."

"Duel!" The two teens chorused.

"My draw!" Chazz shouted. Looking at his card, he continued, "I summon Dragon Zombie in attack mode! (1600 ATK!) I place two facedowns and end my turn."

"My turn!" Selena said in a sing-song voice. "I place one monster in facedown defence mode and put down one facedown. I end my turn."

"That's it?" Chazz asked, drawing his card. "What happened to all of your big, powerful monsters, huh?"

"Even I have to have some defence, Chazz!" She replied merrily.

"I sacrifice my Dragon Zombie to summon Armed Dragon Level 5! But I'm not done there! I play the spell card, Level Up! This lets me special summon Armed Dragon Level 7! (2800 ATK!)"

Selena gasped. There was no chance that her monster could stand that! Sure enough, when the dragon attacked, her Mystical Elf (2000 DEF) was destroyed instantly.

"Nice move!" She said. "I place another monster facedown and I play Pot of Greed! This lets me draw two more cards! Next, I place two facedowns."

"My draw! Armed Dragon, attack her facedown!"

"Not so fast! I activate Waboku! Now my monsters cannot be destroyed and all damage I take is turned to 0. However, my card still has to flip, so here he is!" Man-Eater Bug appeared on the field. "You monster gets destroyed now, thanks to his effect!"

"Aww crud," Chazz spoke, his dragon shattering in front of him.

"Hey what's going on?" everyone in the room turned and saw the Jaden, Jesse, Syrus, Hasselberry, Jim and Alexis enter.

"Selena and Chazz are duelling," Aster replied.

"Oh, Aster. Didn't see you there!" Jaden called.

"Whatever."

"What are they duelling for?" Alexis asked.

"Oh, they were just bored," Said the all-knowing Aster. "I was bored too, but I had no fresh opponents, so watching them duel will suffice."

"You can always duel me!" Jesse said joyously.

"Whatever."

FF a bit……………………………………………

"Now, Armed Dragon Level 7! Attack her directly!" Chazz shouted. Amazingly, bye a twist of events, Selena ended up losing. She collapsed to her knees in exhaustion. The duel had taken 32 turns.

"You did great," Chazz whispered, walking over to her. All of a sudden, the ground started to shake. Chazz nearly lost his balance as the floor shook with an almighty force.

Echo and "Iggy," as he wished to be called now, ran into the room. "Everyone out!" Echo shouted. "NOW!"

No one needed second orders. As well and fast as they could, the group dashed out of the room. Strangely enough, the hallway was completely still.

"What happened?" Chazz demanded.

"You duel just opened a portal!" Iggy replied. "You used so much duel energy, that the whole room is going to become a portal! Of all the places, it had to be the duel field… Either way, that room will take the whole school to another dimension!"

"We have to do something!" Jaden said.

"But what?" Alexis asked incredulously.

"I have an idea, but it's risky.." Iggy trailed.

"Spill!" Chazz ordered. Boy, was he getting impatient!

"Maybe, if we enter the portal before it swallows the whole school, we can close it from the inside."

"Sounds good to me!" Jaden said as he almost ran right back into the room. However, a hand grabbed the back of his jacket.

"Not so fast, slacker!" Chazz retorted. "If we close it from the inside, how are we going to get out?"

Iggy had prepared this. It was like he was the new Bastion. By the way… Where was Bastion? Anyway, Iggy said, "Well, the portal wouldn't close for about a time limit of 30 minutes. It would stop growing, and then somewhere between 5 and 10 minutes, should start closing."

"That's way too risky!" Aster said, finally contributing to the Conversation.

"That's what I said! But, if we want to save the school, we must do it," Iggy replied hotly.

"We did this?" Selena murmured so low, that only Chazz next to her heard her as they walked back into the shaking room.

The room was merely trembling now, but a looming black vortex had appeared in the center of the field. It was about human-sized, and it was swirling black and dark purple.

Just as they were about to enter it, a thought flew across Chazz's mind.

"Iggy, when we're gone, what are the chances that someone will enter the duel arena?"

"He's got that covered," Echo answered for him. "We found Chancellor Sheppard before we came here, and we told him to close off the field. We told him why, so we are certain that no one will enter here."

Chazz nodded, and one by one (except for Chazz and Selena, and Echo and Iggy, who entered together) everyone stepped through the vortex.

Vamp: Hope you guys enjoyed that. It took forever to get down on, erm… paper. I think I have the beginning signs of Writer's Block…

Selena: Oh no! If you get Writer's Block, we'll be frozen in our tracks!

Vamp: I know. That's why I'm trying to post as soon as I can.

Chazz: Thanks for trying so hard and everything, but don't push yourself.
