Chapter 8: Going for Gold (Part 2: Taking Care of Business)
"Start talking."
After the stunt in the Duel Arena, everyone had gathered in the common room in the Gold dorm.
"What the hell were you guys doing?" Billie demanded.
"How did those two Obelisks get in the trunk?" Elle inquired.
"What happened to Mindy?" Jasmine asked.
Jet leaned back in his chair. "We can answer all questions. But first we need to go back a few days. To the day I duel George."
XXXXXXXX
A few days earlier...
"We have a problem." Scarlet and Jaden walked up to their siblings. "Someone has it out for me." Jaden handed the letter to Eli.
The eldest Yuki looked at the letter then handed to Jet. "I figured Jet would have made enemies here before anyone else."
The Spellcaster teen glared at his older brother before turning his attention to the letter. "Well, it's a clearly fake. Not only is Alexis's name spelled wrong but this isn't her hand writing."
"And you know her hand writing?" Scarlet asked.
"We worked on a project together." Jet retorted absently. He noticed the lip stick kiss on the letter. "It's a long shot but we might be able to match the lips to someone's picture, but we'll need Drake's computer help."
"We'll get him, Zane, and Johnny in on this and that's it." Eli nodded. "Tell nobody else."
"With that, we got Johnny, Drake and Zane and brought them to Eli's room." Scarlet explained.
Inside Eli's room, the four Yukis were telling Drake, Zane and Johnny about what happened. "So someone punked Jaden? What's the big deal?" Drake shrugged.
"This was much more than a simple prank. If Jaden was caught, he could have been expelled." Scarlet said.
"Didn't know the rule was that strict." The dragon duelist whistled. "So what are we doing here?"
"We need to match the lip print of this letter with someone on the island." Jet said.
Johnny frowned slightly. "That is a lot of people."
"Not that much, really." Jaden smiled.
"We figured whoever did this, Jaden has pissed off." Eli explained.
"And I only know two people that are mad at me. Chazz and Crowler." The Hero duelist said.
"With only two people to match the lips and Jet's eye for detail, we quickly matched the lips to the good doctor." Johnny said.
"It's a match." Drake confirmed.
"I knew Crowler hates to lose but trying to expel a student over it." Scarlet said.
"It might something to do with Jaden beating his real deck." Zane noted.
"We knew Doctor Crowler would try something when he found out about the Gold Dorm." Eli continued.
"Invasion?"
Zane nodded at Jet's question. "He's capable of it."
"How would we stop something like that?" Drake asked.
Eli thought about his sister's inquiry. "The only person on this island Crowler truly fears is Sheppard. If we can have him be here when Crowler tries his takeover, Crowler will be forced to back down."
"But how do we get Sheppard here during Crowler's play?" Johnny asked.
"Sheppard mentioned something about a new teacher to be in charge of this dorm." Scarlet said.
"That's us." Ray smiled.
"That gets Sheppard here but how do we get Crowler to bring his forces at the right time?" Jaden asked.
Jet turned to his older brother. "How good of a friend is George?"
"He was my roommate while we were Slifers." Eli answered.
Jet smiled as his thought formed. "I know how we get Crowler here at the right time."
"So, we followed Jet's plan, which led us to..." Drake said.
George unlocked the door and walked into his dorm room. He stopped when he saw the group sitting on his couch. "Uh... What exactly are you guys doing in here?" He blinked.
Eli stood up. "We need a favor."
"Now that you know how it started, we can get to the fun part." Jet smiled.
"The dueling?" His twin asked.
Jet nodded. "The dueling."
XXXXXXXX
Earlier that day...
"Jet, are you sure about Mindy?" Johnny asked as the Slifer as he dug into a bowl of potato chips.
"I heard she hasn't duel mush since she got here." Drake started to work on his laptop.
Jet swallowed. "Just trust me."
The girl in question walked the trail up to the Gold Dorm and pass the open gates. "Why was I called here?" She demanded.
"We need your help." Jet said as the gates slowly closed behind Mindy.
She looked over her shoulder at the closing gates. "With what?"
Jet checked the clock on Drake's computer. "You'll should see in a few minutes." He nodded then held up a bottle of water. "Water?"
Mindy walked over to the steps before sitting down and taking the water.
"How long do we have to wait?" The girl asked, after drinking some of her water.
Johnny took his DAP out of his pocket as it buzzed. "Just got the Bat Signal. It should be any second now."
"Man, why do I have to be at the bottom?" A male's voice whined.
"Because you're stronger than I am. Now stay still!" Another man's voice snapped.
"Maybe if you actually did work in Gym class, I wouldn't be stronger than you."
Finally, Torimaki came over the wall, followed soon by Raizou. "Shut up, Stupid!"
"And here's our monkeys!" Jet chuckled with a savage smile.
The two Obelisks stood up then froze as they heard growling coming from behind them. They whipped around to see three huskies snarling at them.
"Good dogs." Torimaki gulped.
"Nice doggies." Raizou smiled uneasily.
The dogs charged, forcing Torimaki and Raizou to run as fast as they could.
Mindy turned to Jet. "Shouldn't you stop them?" She asked.
Jet sighed. "Fine." He stood up. "Heel!"
The dogs stopped not even a second after that command. With the dogs no longer chasing them, Torimaki and Raizou stopped too.
Although, the dogs did stop, Noble slowly walked towards them. "Noble, heel!"
Noble stopped but still stood on guard.
Mindy walked over to Noble and pet him on the head. "It's ok, boy." She whispered.
"Gentlemen, what a coincidence you're here." Jet started. "We were just talking about someone using everyone's attention at the duels in the stadium to sneak into this building."
"You gonna turn us over to Security?" Raizou asked.
Jet shook his head. "No. We're fair people." He paused. "They're fair people. I wanted to tie you guys to a log and push the log out to sea."
Johnny laughed at the thought. "We'll save that for April Fools."
"So, you guys are gonna duel if you win. We will let you inside." Jet said.
"You will be dueling me and Mindy." Johnny informed them. "Mindy, do you want to go first?"
"Sure." The girl nodded and stood up.
Torimaki and Raizou whispered to each other before Torimaki stepped forward.
"I duel first."
Both duelist strapped on their duel disks and drew five cards.
Mindy: 8000
Torimaki: 8000
"I'll start us off." Mindy drew.
Torimaki just scoffed. "Like it matters, you couldn't beat me if ya had the God Cards."
"Wow." Drake said, not taking his eyes off his computer.
"What an ass." Johnny said.
Mindy's eyes narrowed in anger but she did her best to keep her cool. "I set a monster and facedown." Two facedown holograms appeared. "I end my turn there."
"My turn." Torimaki drew. "I summon Divine Dragon Ragnarok." A white, serpentine-like dragon appeared onto Torimaki's field. (1500/1000)
"And now I equip it with Dragon Treasure." The white dragon shined with a green aura as its power increased. (1500/1000-1800/1300)
"Ragnarok, attack her facedown!" Torimaki roared right before his dragon did. His dragon whipped its tail at the facedown, shattering it.
"Thank you for attacking." Mindy grinned.
"What?"
"When Harpies Hunter is destroyed in battle, I can special summon four star or lower Harpie from my deck to the field." The girl explained. She took her deck out and fanned it. "I summon Harpie Queen in attack mode." A green haired half woman, half-avian wearing a blue leotard flew out to the field. (1900/1200)
Torimaki scowled. As much as he hated to admit it, that was a good move. "I set two facedown cards."
"My draw." The girl drew and looked at her new card. "I activate Elegant Egotist. Since Harpie Queen counts as a Harpie Lady while on my field, I can special summon a Harpie Lady, like my Cyber Harpie." Another birdwoman appeared. This one had long magenta hair, green wings and yellow claws and sexy purple battle armor. (1800/1300)
"And seeing as how I haven't normal summoned yet, I summon the Harpie's Pet Baby Dragon!". A young, pink dragon, the size of an adult human appeared. She had a green headdress and metal collar around her neck. (1200/600)
"Well, that's cute." Johnny said.
"True but keep watching." Jet sipped his drink.
"My little dragon gains an effect for every Harpie on my field. With only one, you can only attack her but since I have two cards, her power doubles." Mindy explained. As she did, the little monster roared with all the power it could muster. (1200/600-2400/1200)
"I activate the Trap, Dragon Cry!" Torimaki revealed his facedown card to show a small dragon screeching causing four soldiers to cover their ears in agony.
"Hey, I have that card." Drake commented.
"What does it do?" Johnny asked.
"If you control a level four or weaker dragon, your opponent can't attack that turn." He explained, still working.
"Meaning Torimaki is safe for now." Jet said. He looked down at Drake on his computer. "Are you almost done with that?"
"I'm almost done. It's harder than I thought." Drake nodded.
"Almost done with what?" Johnny asked.
"I am trying to access a drive I placed in the Arena's computer. But the computer's defenses are making it difficult." Drake explained.
"I end my turn." Mindy said.
"My move." Torimaki drew a card. "I summon Luster Dragon 2 by sacrificing Divine Dragon Ragnarok." The large teal dragon appeared. (2400/1400)
"Metalmorph will make it even more powerful!" Torimaki smiled as his monster's scaly hide was replaced by coating of metal. (2400/1400-2700/1700)
"Luster Dragon, attack her pitiful little dragon with Emerald Blaze!" The dragon breathed green flames at the smaller dragon. "And with Metalmorph, it becomes stronger by half of its target strength!" (2700/1700-3900/1700)
"I might not be able to save my dragon but I can still mess your monster up with Mirror Wall." A wall of mirrors broke through the ground. "It cuts your monster's attack power in half!" The emerald inferno bounced off the wall and back at the dragon. (3900/1700-2450/1700)
While most of the flames were safely deflected by the wall, a stream of fire was able to cut through, destroying the pet dragon.
Mindy: 7950
Torimaki: 8000
"And with your attack over, Luster Dragon's attack drop again." Mindy said with smirk. (2450/1700-1250/1700)
Torimaki growled as monster lose power. How could the girl who never duels be so good. "A card facedown will end my turn."
"So, my turn starts now." The girl drew. "Before I do anything, I don't need my wall anymore." The massive wall lowered back into the ground. "I play Graceful Charity." Mindy drew three more cards. "And the cards I'm gonna discard are..." She looked her cards over. "...these." She slipped the two cards into her grave. "But only one will be staying in there for long because I bring my Harpie's Pet Dragon back from the Grave with Monster Reborn!"
The actual Pet Dragon appeared where her child once stood. It looked at Torimaki with a nasty look as if it knew her baby was destroyed. (2000/2500)
"As I'm sure you know, my dragon grows more powerful with every Harpie on the field." Her Harpies floated near the dragon, petting her in an attempt to calm her down. (2000/2500-2600/2500)
"But she's nothing compared to the monster I'm about to summon. Here he is. My favorite, Hunter Owl!" A half-owl, half man appeared. While it was mostly owl, it did have human arms and human like body. There was a scythe in its hand. (1000/500)
"That is supposed to do me in?"
"He seems weak at first but his ability makes him really powerful. For every Wind monster on my field, he gains 500 attack points and he can't be attacked while other Wind monsters are on my field." Mindy explained. "By my count, I have four Wind monsters, raising his attack points by 2000." (1000/500-3000/500)
"Cyber Harpie, give that dragon of his a taste of your claws!" Mindy's armored Harpie flew high into the air, then swooped down, sliced into the weakened dragon.
Mindy: 7950
Torimaki: 7450
"Queen, strike Torimaki!" The Harpie Queen repeated her sister's action, diving with her talons ready cutting into the Obelisk boy.
Mindy: 7950
Torimaki: 5550
"Since I have lost 2000 life points this turn, I can use Nutrient Z to gain 4000 more life points!" Torimaki said as he played his trap and gain points back.
Mindy: 7950
Torimaki: 9550
"Oh, big deal. I still have Hunter Owl and my Dragon to attack." Mindy said, dismissively.
"I didn't know Mindy was such a good duelist. I should challenge her sometime." Johnny smiled.
Jet glanced at him. "I knew I forgot something. Mindy, care to tell them what is going on?"
Mindy looked back at Jet then thought it over. "Ok. Fine." She tugged on her ponytail, which caused her hair to come off!
The guys, minus Jet, were completely thrown off by this. "DUDE!" Johnny exclaimed.
"What? Never seen a wig before?" Mindy asked, removing her net cap, then running her fingers through her long golden blonde hair.
"Everyone meet the woman behind the Mindy. My cousin, Cassandra." Jet smiled.
Mindy –now Cassandra– bowed with smile. "A true pleasure, gentlemen."
"Jet, explain." Johnny said quickly, not taking his eyes off Cassandra.
"Cassie is a wannabe actress." Jet started.
"HEY!" Cassie exclaimed, glaring back at her cousin.
"I mean you're aspiring actress." Jet smiled.
"Oh."
"Anyway, a few months ago, she had an idea. She would come to Duel Academy as someone that she would make up and see how long it take to realize she wasn't who she said she was." He explained.
"Which never actually happened." She said while buttoning her vest, revealing her powder blue belly shirt.
"People are idiots." Jet shrugged then gestured to Torimaki. "Now, could you just kick his ass already?"
"Right. Pet Dragon, you heard him! Attack Blue Boy directly! Fearsome Fire Blast!" Cassie ordered. Her dragon leaned back and shot fireball from her mouth.
Torimaki tried to shield himself but to no avail.
Cassie: 7950
Torimaki: 6950
"Owl, follow her attack!" The owl dashed forward and slashed Torimaki.
Cassie: 7950
Torimaki: 3950
"I end my turn."
Torimaki drew. "I activate Trade-In. I discard an eight star monster then draw two cards." The Obelisk drew twice more. "My Monster Reborn will resummon Tri-Horned Dragon!" A spiked blue dragon roared to life as it took the field. (2850/2350)
"How did he get a card like that?" Johnny asked.
"Remember what I said the night we opened this dorm. Some Obelisks get cards brought for them." Jet crossed his arms.
"Megamorph will double his power." As Megamorph symbol appeared on his dragon's forehead and this monster's power increased, he laughed. (2850/2350-5700/2350)
"Whoa, that's a lot of attack points." Cassie gulped.
"Dragon, attack her Cyber Harpie and put them to good use!" The dragon did as ordered and slammed the birdwoman into the ground, crushing her into pieces.
Cassie: 3050
Torimaki: 3950
"But you forget, Megamorph lowers your monster's attack when you're winning." Cassie smiled weakly. While monsters would lose a little power, Torimaki's would lose a lot. (2600/2500-2300/2500), (3000/500-2500/500), (5700/2350-1425/2350)
"I didn't forget. Mystic Space Typhoon will destroy my Megamorph." A tornado ripped Megamorph apart. (1425/2350-2850/2350)
"I'll end my turn." The Obelisk boy grinned.
"Looks like it's my turn." Cassie drew a card and frowned. "Nothing to work with so I'll play one facedown and switch Harpie Queen and Pet Dragon into defense mode. And end my turn."
Torimaki drew. "I play Card of Sanctity." Both duelist drew, stopping at six cards. "I summon Luster Dragon." The blue dragon roared as appeared. (1900/1600)
"Now, Dragon's Olfaction allows me to special summon another Dragon if you have two or more monsters. Rise, Rare Metal Dragon!" A metal dragon appeared on the ground. (2400/1200)
"Dragons Unite will give my Luster Dragon 400 points for each Dragon on my field!" The weakest dragon glowed with power. (1900/1600-3100/2800)
"Tri-Horned Dragon, attack Pet Dragon!" The bigger blue dragon roared and charged the weaker dragon, but was stopped with by an energy shield.
"Negate Attack will, well... negate your attack."
"You've put off your lost by one turn. Lucky you." Torimaki said. "I set one card and end my turn."
Cassie drew her card. "I summon my second Cyber Harpie." Another armored avian woman appeared to the field. (1800/1300)
With a new Harpie on the field, both Harpie's Pet Dragon and Hunter Owl regain power. (2300/2500-2600/2500), (2500/500-3000/500)
"Then I play Blustering Winds to give my Queen an extra thousand attack points." A mighty torrent of wind surrounded the harpy woman, making her stronger. (1900/1200-2900/2200)
"Queen, destroy his Tri-Horned Dragon!" The queen flew into the air then dived; piercing through her target like it wasn't even there.
Cassie: 3050
Torimaki: 3900
"Pet Dragon, attack Rare Metal Dragon!" As she was ordered, Harpie's Pet Dragon attacked and incinerated the metallic dragon.
Cassie: 3050
Torimaki: 3700
"Since both of his backups are gone, Luster Dragon loses most of its attack points." Jet pointed out as said dragon lost strength.
(3100/2800-2300/2000)
"Owl, get rid of his dragon!" The owl rushed forward then slashed the dragon in half.
Cassie: 3050
Torimaki: 3000
"Cyber Harpie, attack directly!"
"I don't think so. I resurrect Tri-Horned Dragon with Call of the Haunted!" The large blue dragon roared as it rose from the ground.
"I call my attack off." Cassie sighed.
"Good turn." Johnny said.
"Cleared his field in one turn." Drake nodded.
"If he didn't have Call of the Haunted, he would have been screwed." Jet said.
"My move." Torimaki drew. "I summon Spear Dragon!" A small blue dragon with a tan underbelly and a long sharp nose appeared onto his field. (1900/0)
"Spear Dragon, attack her Cyber Harpie!" The dragon opened its mouth, allowing a small tornado to shoot out of it mouth, which destroyed the armored Harpie in a second.
Cassie: 2950
Torimaki: 3000
Hunter Owl and the Pet Dragon lost power with the destruction of Cyber Harpie. (2600/2500-2300/2500), (3000/500-2500/500)
"Spear Dragon switches into Defense Mode after attacking." Jet said. On cue, the small dragon crossed its arm.
"Tri-Horned Dragon, destroy Pet Dragon!" The large dragon rushed Pet Dragon, digging its claws into the female dragon and ripping it in half.
Cassie: 2400
Torimaki: 3000
Hunter Owl (2500/500-2000/500)
"I end my turn."
Cassie drew. "The effect of Blustering Winds goes away since it's my Standby phase." (2900/2200-1900/1200)
"I activate another Elegant Egotist, using Harpies Queen to special summon Harpie Lady Sisters." Three new Harpies appeared in flash. One looked like the Cyber Harpie, another had short orange hair and the final one had spiky blue hair. (1950/2100)
Hunter Owl (2000/500-2500/500)
"Now, I equip Phalanx Pike to Harpies Queen." A gold spear appeared in the Queen's claws. She spun the weapon around a little to get used to it.
"My Queen gains 900 attack for each monster in the graveyard with the same name. Since her effect makes her name Harpie Lady, and Cyber Harpie's effect does the same thing, her points go up to by 1800!" (1900/1200-3700/1200)
"Queen, can you finally get that dragon off the field?" Cassie asked. The queen nodded then took to the sky, diving back down and stabbing Tri-Horned Dragon, shattering the monster into pieces.
Cassie: 2400
Torimaki: 2150
"The Sisters attack Spear Dragon! The three Harpies flew at the small dragon, and slashed it into four pieces.
"Hunter Owl, end this!" The owl man jumped high into the air then came back down, slashing vertical down Torimaki.
Cassie: 2400
Torimaki: 0000
"So, I couldn't beat you huh?"
"Excellent job, Cass." Jet praised.
"Thanks. Uncle Carter's training may suck but it works." Cassie gave a tired smile as she sat down.
"Hey, guys." George walked up to the gate and opened it with his id and passcode.
"George." Jet nodded.
George sat down on porch. "What's up?"
"We're going to need your help." Drake said.
"Ok." George nodded. "Who's she?" He gestured to Cassie.
"My cousin Cassie." Jet said.
"You might know me as Mindy." Cassie smiled.
Drake turned to Jet. "Dude, I'm in. And looks like Scarlet and Ray are about to start their duel."
"That's when Jet and I made that duel intro." Drake said.
"But since you know it already, let's move on."
Johnny and Raizou stood across from each other, ready to begin their duel.
Both had their duel disk strapped on and drew their opening hands.
"Duel!"
Johnny: 8000
Raizou: 8000
"You want to go first, Raizou?" Johnny asked.
Raizou nodded and drew. "Ok. I'll summon Mechanicalchaser!" A six-armed machine came to the field. It was round with only one eye, two green wings and mounted on a sword. It held a weapon in each hand or its hand was a weapon. (1850/800)
"I'll also set a card facedown."
"So, it's my turn." Johnny drew his card and added it to his five cards. "I'll start with A Legendary Ocean!" The terrain became submerged in water, like the duel was in a kiddie pool, with the two Obelisks were knee-deep inside. The spectators were sitting on the porch, keeping them dry. Stone ruins rose up to the surface behind the Water duelist. "Now, I summon Spined Gillman." A blue fishman rose from the sea with a red trident in its right hand. Like the monster's name had suggested, it back had spines growing out. (1300/0)
"And its ability gives all Fish, Sea Serpent, and Aqua-Type monsters I have 400 attack points. Plus my field spell gives all Water types 200 attack points." (1300/0-1900/200)
"Gillman, attack his Chaser!" The fishman dove under the water
"Go, Rare Metalmorph!" Raizou revealed his trap. "This trap gives my Chaser 500 more attacks points!" (1850/800-2350/800)
Mechanicalchaser used its sword to stab the fish as it was about to strike.
Johnny: 7550
Raizou: 8000
"Wow, didn't see that coming." Johnny blinked. He looked down at his hand. "I set two card facedowns and end my turn."
"My move." Raizou drew. "I summon Machine King Prototype!" A tall metal man sitting on a rock throne appeared onto the field. Its red visor eye glowed as it scanned the field. (1600/1500)
"And like all Machine Kings, Prototype gains 100 points for every Machine on the field." (1600/1500-1700/1600)
"Mechanicalchaser, attack!" As ordered, the round weapon wielding robot flew directly at Johnny.
"I think Call of the Haunted and Inferno Reckless Summoning will have something to say about that!" Johnny called.
"Smart play." George said. "Call of the Haunted brings Gillman back and Inferno Reckless Summoning gives him two more."
Three Gillmen came out from the water. (1300/0-2700/200) x3
"I'll summon two more Machine King Prototypes!" Two robots appeared next to the original. "And their effects work too." (1700/1600-1900/1800) x3
Johnny smiled. "But you were so distracted by your monster, you forgot about your attacking one! Gillman, get some revenge and destroy his Mechanicalchaser!" The blue fish warrior slashed the robot, cutting it in half.
Johnny: 7550
Raizou: 7650
With one less Machine, the three kings lost power. (1900/1800-1800/1700) x3
"I end my turn with two facedowns." Raizou sighed.
"My draw." Johnny drew. "I'll go directly into attack. Gillman, attack his middle King!" The middle Gillman threw his weapon, piercing the machine man, shattering it. (1800/1700-1700/1600) x2
Johnny: 7550
Raizou: 6750
"Gillman number two, take out his second King." The second water warrior threw his trident, taking the King's head clean off. (1700/1600-1600/1500)
Johnny: 7550
Raizou: 5750
"Now, number three, clear his field!" The final Gillman dove down under the surface then came up, destroying the last Prototype with a slash.
Johnny: 7550
Raizou: 4650
"I'll end my turn there."
"Hell of a turn it was." Drake smiled.
Raizou drew. "I'll play Spellbook Inside the Pot. Now we get to draw three cards." Both teens drew three new cards. "I summon Fusilier Dragon, the Dual-Mode Beast!" A red dragon tank appeared on Raizou's field. It had laser cannons attached to its base and head. (2800/2000)
"I can summon this monster without sacrificing by cutting it's points in half." (2800/2000-1400/1000)
"Kinda a waste of a turn." Cassie said.
"I doubt he's done, Cass." Jet studied the field.
"Now Skill Drain will negate all monster abilities at a cost of 1000 points. Returning my Dragon's points back to normal as will your fishes'." (1400/1000-2800/2000), (2700/200-1500/200)
Johnny: 7550
Raizou: 3650
"And Limiter Removal will double my monster's strength!" Raizou announced. (2800/2000-5600/2000)
"Dragon, attack his left Gillman!" The massive tank moved it's lasers and fired its beams destroying it target and taking a big chunk out of Johnny's life points with it.
Johnny: 3450
Raizou: 3650
"Wow, that is a huge gap jump." Cassie said.
"Johnny had barely lost anything before this turn." Jet nodded.
"Before my turn is over and my monster gets destroyed by Limiter Removal, I play the trap card, Interdimensional Matter Transporter. Now, my Dragon is taken away until my End Phase." A blue beam of light teleported the tank dragon off the field. "Since I'm ending my turn, Fusilier comes back right away." The blue light came back, bring Fusilier back with it.
"Wait, if he was playing to end his turn right away, why activate the card in the first place?" Drake blinked.
"Because Limiter Removal would have destroyed his monster if he had not." George said.
"My draw." Johnny said. He looked at his deck. 'But with a monster like Fusilier staring me down and my Gillmen without their powers, I'll need a really good draw.' The Water duelist drew his card. 'This is perfect!'
"I'll use Ancient Rules to summon Spiral Serpent!" An enormous blue leviathan head came up from the ocean with more clearly under the water. (2900/2900-3100/3100)
"And now Mystical Space Typhoon will destroy your Skill Drain." The hurricane destroyed Raizou's trap, giving all monsters their effects back. (1500/200-2300/200) x2, (3100/3100-3900/3100)
"Serpent, destroy his dragon!" Johnny ordered. The leviathan lowered below the surface but it's shadow was visible, it swam across the field. Before you could blink, Fusilier was dragged below.
Johnny: 3450
Raizou: 2550
"Gillman one, attack him directly." The first Gillmen sped across the field, slashing Raizou's chest.
Johnny: 3450
Raizou: 0250
"Gillman two, end this duel." The second Gillmen twin threw his trident like a javelin, hitting the Obelisk in the gut.
Johnny: 3450
Raizou: 0000

"Then we tied them up, put them in the trunk and went to the arena." George finished.
Jasmine turned to Cassie. "So, this whole time you were lying to me about who you were."
"Y-Yeah. I wasn't personal or anything. I just wasn't excepting to make a friend like you." Cassie confessed.
"They say the lie is in the guilt." Kal said.
"Then Jet must be stone cold on the inside." Scarlet smiled. "Because he lies all the time without any remorse."
"Thanks."
"Well, you have told a lie while strapped to a lie detector." Eli noted.
"Why were you strapped to a lie detector?" Alexis asked.
Jaden chuckled. "Remember the prank with the pigs we told you about?"
"I love that story." Cassie giggled.
"To prove he didn't do it, Aunt Sarah made take a lie detector test." Jaden continued.
"And lied to it."
"Why are all these stories about me?" Jet asked.
"Because you've done the stupidest stuff." Scarlet giggled.
"Nobody else has done anything stupid?" Jet asked, looking directly at Jaden as he did.
"What have I done...?" Jaden began.
Jet spoke again before his brother could finish. "You kissed a guy."
That comment silenced the whole room. Until finally, Billie asked. "How did that happen?"
"Jaden was dating a girl who had a twin brother. On New Year's, we were watching the ball drop and at midnight, Jaden kissed the wrong twin." Jet explained. Before anyone could say anymore, Jet took his cell phone out of his pocket as it began to ring. He walked out of the room as he answered his phone. "Hello?" He smiled after hearing the voice on the other line. "Hey, babe. What's up?"
Later...
The sun had set and night had fallen on the Academy Island. The light of the full moon was reflecting off the ocean.
Most people were inside, getting ready for the next day.
However, Jet was not, he was on the roof with his sketch pad. The roof had a small table and a light.
"Enjoying the view?"
Jet looked up from his sketch pad to see Alexis standing next to the table. He looked at full moon in front of him then went back to his sketch pad. "Not really."
Alexis sat down in the chair next to her. "Is something wrong?"
"My girlfriend broke up with me."
"Oh, Jet. I'm so sorry."
Jet smiled a little. "It's ok."
"Did she say why she broke it off?" Alexis asked.
"According to her, I could be cheating on her with any number of Duel Academy girls." Jet explained.
"Would you cheat on her?" Alexis questioned.
"No."
"What are you doing now? Drawing bad pictures of her?"
Jet shook his head. "Actually I'm undoing a picture of her."
"What do you mean?" The Cyber Girl Duelist asked.
"A few weeks ago, I asked Mr. Pegasus if he would produce an archetype if I made every card for it." Jet started as he handed Alexis his sketch pad. "He said yes."
Alexis started looking through the drawings. "Wow, you made all of these?"
"Yes and the Ace Card was going to look like my girlfriend." Jet explained as he flipped her back to page he was on.
"But now you're erasing it." Alexis said.
"Yeah. Don't know what she'll look like now." Jet nodded.
"Can I have the cards?" The Cyber Girl Duelist asked.
Jet thought for a moment. "You have to win them."
"What? Like in a duel?"
The Yuki teen shook his head. "Next week is the promotional exams. Best grade wins. You win and you get the cards when they're done."
"And if you win?" Alexis asked.
Jet smirked knowingly. "You have to get a tattoo."
That statement gave Alexis pause. "Jet, I don't know."
"Hey, hey. There are rules to the tattoo. Ok?" Jet insisted.
"Like?"
"First, it can't be anywhere 'private'. Second, it has to be PG." Jet said.
Alexis sighed. "Ok."
Jet held his hand. "Shake on it."
"Deal." The two teens shook hands.
