Ok, boys and girls, men and women, I'm back, sorry for being late. As always R&R! And bear in mind I Ki's name is pronounced as the "Kai" you don't pronounce the letter 'i' as 'e' right?

Chapter 15: Isaac's Greed

As the medical team rushed Ki into the medical room, Liner, Vaan, Tyrule, Lapis, Vivian, Lucas, Katie and Byler waited outside, waiting for Ki's condition report. Lapis' duel spirit-Ruin is also with them. Liner is now taking care of Ki's Academy Disk along with his deck with Silent Magician in it. Ki's jacket was on Vaan's shoulders. Ki's companion spirit, Silent Magician prayed harder and harder ever second, hoping for the best.

Two hours later, the head medic-Fonda Fontaine, also the head of Obelisk Girls dorm exits. Silent Magician was the first to notice this.

"Miss Fonda, how's he doing?" Lapis asked.

She shook her head and began, "Ki's rib cage had severely broken, his back is swelling terribly and his right shoulders was damaged thus paralyzed."

As they heard so, they were in complete shock, except for Lucas whose eyes widened.

"But still," Fonda continued, "right now he's in a coma." And with this, everyone went white, "We won't know when will he comes to, a year, two years, we won't know; maybe… forever." A long awkward silence broke. She walked away, awkward.

They were free to enter and visit him. Then, there he was, lying peacefully asleep. His heart was beating normally and bloods were transplanted into his veins.

"Liner," Silent Magician called, "Leave us here, we want to pray for his recovery," she requested. By her words, Liner could tell that she meant Ki's deck.

Liner understood and he left Ki's deck on the bedside table. She gratefully bowed and turned to Ki. Liner, Vaan, Tyrule, Vivian, Lapis, Lucas and Katie took a final glance and leave while Byler was the last. With one last glance at Ki and bizarrely at Silent Magician, "Sorry," he mumbled and left.

She glared but then sat next to Ki and watched him restlessly.

The next day, the news about Ki's condition spread throughout the academy like wild fire. Everyone was concerned about Ki's condition, even Isaac's gang. But Isaac had no concerns about him at all. He was planning onto something, something no one could ever imagine.

Isaac had been holding grudges on Ki for several lame reasons. First was when Ki possesses some strong rare cards. Secondly, Ki defeated him in the first test and third (if possible) Ki's smile was annoying him.

"DARN IT!" he blurts when he got images of Ki sneering him. C'mon Zack, smi~le! "SHADDUP! LEAVE-ME-ALONE!" he roared ten times louder than he ever did.

The students eyed him weirdly and suspiciously. Has Isaac went out of his mind because of Ki's coma? Some of them thought.

By morning, which is during class period, Isaac's seat was empty. Tyrule eyed at it suspiciously.

Isaac was sneaking around the corridor. He is moving in stealth, hiding behind the pillars and stayed low. Then, he slid himself into the infirmary, where Ki is dwelling. He shuts the door silently behind him and peaked around to find whether anyone is in there. To his relieves no one but the heavily bandaged Ki who is still in a coma. He walked around and to the bedside table, where Ki's deck is left.

"Thanks for the hard work, Byler, thanks to you; I can steal Ki's deck at ease!" Isaac said coldly.

"You've been a very naughty boy haven't you?" echoed a voice by the entrance.

Isaac jumped in surprise and swung around to face the source of the voice-Tyrule. "Tch, caught in action!" he cursed.

"I thought where you were and here you are, up to mischief and misdeeds, eh?" Tyrule exclaimed, "Here me Isaac," Tyrule's tone had became serious, "I won't let you lay a finger on Ki's deck!"

"Oh~, then what are you going to do? Hand me to the authorities?"

"No, a duel!" he said, raising his duel disk at Isaac.

"Hngh! What could a lousy Ra like you do to an elite Obelisk Senior like me?" insulted Isaac spitefully.

"Our ranks matter not; if you really think you deserve touching Ki's deck, then take me on first!" he said activating his duel disk.

"Well said, I will humiliate you in this duel!" Isaac too activates his duel disk.

"DU-" As they were about to announce 'DUEL', they were interrupted.

"That is as far as you go!" a person said, hitting both Tyrule and Isaac's forehead with a karate chop. It was Katie, who was in a nurse uniform. "Be silent, a patient needs his rest," she said in a calm, gentle tune.

Tyrule and Isaac grasped their head. Tyrule apologized but Isaac yelled back at her, "WHY WOULD I CARE!" in a rude and inconsiderable manner.

"Do you understand?" she said (still smiling) in a soft, gentle tone and mistakenly, the atmosphere became extremely tense and spooky as Tyrule and Isaac felt chills runs down their back. Then, they gasped as they could feel a strong fiendish evil purple aura emitted from Katie and to their horror, the figure of a fiend appeared before them. It looks as if they were about to end up like Ki's condition.

Isaac take back what he said and left the room within no time Tyrule followed.

Silent Magician's spirit was forced into a silent giggle as she pressed her mouth, trying to stifle the sound.

Isaac and Tyrule restarted as they announce, "DUEL!" Their Life Points were revealed 4000. They were dueling on the grounds by the entrance of the academy.

"Ill go first!" spat Isaac spitefully as he draws. "Hah, I summon Chainsaw Insect (2400/0) in attack mode; also I'll chopper a face down and call it a turn!"

Tyrule simply draw. He had seen through the weakness of Isaac's deck. He scanned his cards and activated "Fiend's Sanctuary, this allows me to special summon a Metal Fiend Token (0/0) to my field!" explained Tyrule as an idol of a fiend appeared, "Next, I sacrifice my token in order to bring out Millennium Shield (0/3000), in attack mode!" This time a shiny golden shield appeared!

"PU-LEASE! Would anyone bother to put a 'trash' like that in attack position?" sneer Isaac.

"Never underestimate your opponent, not even the slightest bit!" bellowed Tyrule, "Now then… I set four face downs and end my turn!"

"Yeah, yeah, yeah, YEAH! So much 'trash' talks, HAH!" Isaac draw, "Now the victor has been declared! I sacrifice Chainsaw Insect to bring out GREAT MAJU GARZET (0/0)." This time, a greater fiend with large bulky body appeared with his arms crossed, "This is what I call a card; you see 'Ra Dork', the attack of this baby is equals to twice the attack of the monster I sacrificed; Chainsaw Insect's attack points are 2400, then his attack points are (4800/0)!"

Tyrule stared.

"Ow, in case you forgot, let me remind you of this," continued Isaac as he reveals his face down, "Call of the Haunted, now I get to special summon a monster from my graveyard," a card ejects from the graveyard zone, " and I can't think of any other because I only had Chainsaw Insect (2400/0)!" he roared.

"But not for long, Quick Spell activate, Mystical Space Typhoon, with this card, I can destroy a spell or trap card on the field," Isaac braced for a typhoon as it sweeps away the trap card.

"Damn, but I doubt your Life Points would be safe when it comes to a full 4800 points of damage!" Isaac points the shield and declares an attack, "GREAT MAJU GARZET, destroy that piece of junk with BIG HOOK!" the greater fiend swung his arm forward.

"Not so fast, I activate the quick spell Collapse, this card halves a monster's attack points!" the fiend shrunk (2400/0). As it swung it's fist, the shield shattered, dealing a sum of 2400 Life Points damage to Tyrule (1600 Life Points remaining).

"TCH," grunted Isaac, "Make it quick, dork!"

"Where's your patients?" Tyrule draws, "I can draw 2 cards thanks to Pot of Greed," he pulled 2 more, "Now I play Call of the Haunted; of course you know hat this do, do you? So we'll just make it simple, I bring back Millennium Shield (0/3000) in attack mode-again!" the shield reappears, "I can only activate this card when 1 monster with an attack of 1500 points or less is Special Summoned to my side of the field while there is a face-up monster on my opponent's side of the field. I Special Summon all cards with the same name as the Summoned monster from my hand, Deck, and Graveyard in face-up Attack Position. You select 1 monster on your side of the field and Special Summons all cards with that same name from your hand, Deck, and Graveyard." Explained Tyrule which made Isaac yawned.

"Since I brought out Millennium Shield via special summoning and its attack points are less than 1500 (0), I can special summon Millenium Shield #Zwei and Millenium Shield #Drei (0/3000)!" two more shields appeared to his field, "I'll end my turn with two more face downs!"

"TCAH!" blurted Isaac as he draws!

"Trap Card reveal, Zero Gravity! Now all monsters on our field will exchange in positions!" roared Tyrule as the shield changes to defensive mode (although they looked like they already are); the greater fiend knelt and crossed itself, preparing for any impact.

"Whatever, I can still change it's position back!" roared Isaac switching the fiend back to attack position, "Now, I play Big Bang Shot! Here's the drill, when the equipped monster gains 400 boost AND deals penetration damage!" The fiend's right arm is replaced by a mechanical arm and gained strength as well (4800+400/0). "This is the end 'dork', GO, THE FINAL STRIKE!" the fiend was prepared for an attack on one of the shields, Isaac laughed but Tyrule was prepared.

"Quick Spell activation, Unity!" interrupted Tyrule aloud.

"Unity?"

"I select 1 monster on my side of the field. The defense of the selected monster becomes equal to the combined original defense of all face-up monsters on my side of the field, until the end of this turn!" as Tyrule explained this, Isaac gasped. The shield united with a grand defense of 9000.

"W-W-WHAT?" he gasped to his horror.

"Now, I you shall take the difference of 3800!" announced Tyrule as the fiend lands a blow on the shield. Isaac's Life Points were decreased to 200. "You do realize that you're defeated, Isaac because with a Life Points of 200, you're vulnerable to an attack!"

Isaac grinded his teeth bitterly. It was true because if he receive any damage from cards like Hinotama, he is defeated.

"Surrender Isaac, I maybe able to pardon you!" said Tyrule as he unbuttons his Ra jacket and revealed a gold badge with a DAS letter on it.

DAS stands for the Disciplinary Action Squad which take disciplinary actions towards students in grave trouble, a good example is when Ki trespass into the Abandoned Dorm in the north which was strictly off limits to any students.

Isaac cursed bitterly and he tore away from the grounds forfeiting the duel. "At least… I stop him… for now…" mumbled Tyrule.

Isaac stormed into his dorm, slams the door shuts behind him and kicked the wardrobe in a frustrated manner. He leaned against the door and slid to the ground. For once, his mind was blank and because of that, he did not realize that he was shedding a tear. As son as he realize it, he wipe it away and roared, "NO MORE FOR ME!"

Back in the medical room where Ki is lying unconsciously still, his companion spirit-Silent Magician fell into dreamland as she had been keep watch of him for one whole day. She held her hands to hold his.

"Ki…" she mumbled deep within her dreams and was weeping at the same time.

"Geezez Christ, when I'm asleep, there you guys go, thinking that I'm in a coma," howled a voice which belonged to no other than Ki's. "Still," he looked down onto the Silent Magician who seems to come to. As she saw Ki, she was surprised and confused at the same time. "Well, guess the sleeping beauty's awake; what're ya dreaming? Me and you on a honeymoon?" he joked.

"K-Ki…" she blurted, "When did you…"

"The entire time, ever since I," Ki turned away, "Collapse!"

As Ki said that, a Silent Magician jaw fell as Ki's free hand reaches his lips and was grinning broadly at her. To her gravest embarrassments, Ki had been awake the whole time and was long enough to know what she did to him!

Ki's eyes were narrowed with great fun and excitement as his grin was severely broad, "Can I have another?" he asked. But in fact he was asking for trouble as Silent Magician drew her wand and threw a bolt (SILENT BANING) at him which creates an explosion. She then vanished into her card. Ki chocked and grunted, "I don't get it… why is it so hard to understand women these days." Ki then looked out to the dusk sky, "Or at least… Raum… Ghast… mom… and…" at this point he paused and turned away from it.
