CHAPTER 14 – LoZ! GX, A Quick Duel with a Chump Boyfriend

Zelda leaned on Audre's side as they walked along the beach arm in arm, and hand in hand. While she walked there, feeling him, she couldn't stop thinking about others. Link was one of the main, though. Talking to Bastion a while ago, made her think of something. If Link finds out and finds the two, he could become mad enough for Majora to take over.

'I hope not…' Zelda thought as she looked up at Audre's profile face.

Audre Serl Psytaz was his full name. They were all Hylian words. Audre, which meant 'potential' in Hylian, was a name given by the Goddess of Power, Din. Serl could be spelled 'Searl' or 'Saerl' and it means 'Time'. Psytaz isn't a direct Hylian word, but it is similar to the word 'Psytieze' which means 'Genius'.

Zelda smiled to herself. Bastion was near a Psytieze. Suddenly, a memory of Atticus flashed in Zelda's mind. She tried not to gasp, and then there was Zane. She took her free hand and rubbed her eyes.

"Something wrong?" Audre's strong voice asked genuinely.

"Oh! Nothing," she lied, "I'm just thinking."

"About what?" He always seemed to know when there was something more to her stories.

Audre stopped them from walking and looked Zelda in the face, as if he was trying to read it.

"Link?" he guessed correctly, "Your annoying little brother?"

He kept reading her face and she got a bit nervous, "how-" she stopped herself.

Before continuing, Audre kept going, "who else? There's more."

'He can tell? He is almost psychic sometimes!' Zelda panicked.

"Nobody too important, can we just walk now? ...please, Audre?"

His hard expression softened and he smiled at her.

"Sure." He took her hand and interlocked fingers.

"So, what are you doing at a human Duel Academy?" he asked.

Maybe this way, he could get her to spill some answers. He knew her well enough to know that something might slip, and he was diabolical enough to try and weasel it out of her.

"Catching up with old human friends and dueling…regular stuff." Zelda replied.

"No protecting from the forces of darkness, huh?" He laughed.

'Well…not yet.'

"No. Not really, this is only a Human Dimension after all." Zelda told him.

"Yeah, I guess." He shrugged.

Audre only believed what most other cocky Hylians believe. Humans aren't special at all. A Hylian can destroy a Human just with their mind. Whether they were Psytieze or not…

"You're not telling me everything."

Zelda snapped her head to Audre who was looking at her slightly. He must've read her face again. Why did he have to do that all the time? He seems like he has to know everything. Can't he just trust her enough to know that she was telling the truth?

But the problem was, she wasn't telling the complete truth….

"Why do you need to know?" Zelda asked sharply.

"Because I'm worried…If there is ever anything I can help you with, you have to understand that I will help you," he explained and added, "whether you want me to, or not."

"Well I do not." Zelda's stomach turned.

"Why?" He asked irritated.

"Because Audre, it's too dangerous. I care about you too much. I'm not sure if you are capable and I don't want to take a chance."

"What? Zelda! Listen to yourself. I am completely capable, remember: I am Potential. If there is anything out there," Audre gestured, "I can handle it."

Zelda crossed her arms and took a step back looking painfully to the sandy ground.

"No you can't…I can't tell you, Audre. But what is here, you can't handle. Only one Hylian can handle it and he is my brother." Zelda whispered.

"Link? You're worried about your little brother getting mad at you?" Audre read her face again!

"What? I never said that!" Zelda told him.

"I can see through your act, Zelda." Audre told her, "Why can't you just tell me?"

"Because I already slipped up once and put others in danger. Because of me, HUMANS are in serious danger, Audre! Possibly their whole world!"

"Why put the blame on yourself? Zelda…what did you do?" Audre asked almost horrifyingly.

"Ever since I told Zane about Majora -!" Zelda started to tear up, "I should've never told him about that!"

"Majora?" Audre wondered.

He thought Majora was always just a one of a kind card. Zelda never told Audre before. Truthfully, she slipped up again.

Thankfully, Audre got the wrong idea. He thought 'maybe the Humans all came after Zelda and Link for Majora's Mask…but then why would their world be in danger?'

Audre just shook it off, thinking it unimportant after he heard Zelda's sobs. It only took him a second to come toward her and hold her tight to his body. He caressed her back and neck with his hand and laid his cheek on her head.

Once, her sobs slowed, she talked again, "You have to understand Audre," she whispered, "We are a magnet for trouble. Go back to Hyrule."

Audre gently pushed her away again, "What do you mean?"

"Go. Away from here. And away from me…Go back where you belong. You should not be here." Zelda commanded.

"Zelda…are you," Audre rubbed his temple, "breaking up with me?"

Zelda didn't say much after that; she just gave him a hurt look and then BAM!

Audre was suddenly on the ground, knocked unconscious. Zelda looked up at the attacker.

"Link!" she exclaimed.

"Hey, why did he fall asleep on you like that?" Link joked.

Zelda couldn't say anything; she still had small tears in her eyes, "What? Wolfos got your tongue?"

"Link…" Zelda hesitated, "why did you do that? I was…talking."

"Yeah, you were, now can we throw him in the ocean and watch him drift away?" Link still joked.

"No…! Link, you cannot do this to people."

Zelda kneeled beside Audre and tried to wake him up.

"I can if they're dating my family." Link now more seriously said.

"Says who?"

"Says me!" Link yelled with his arms crossed and eyebrows furrowed.

"Ungh!" Audre woke up slightly dazed and saw Link's dark face.

"You, Slim?" Audre sat up and rubbed the back of his neck, where Link had struck him before.

"That's right, dope." Link smirked evilly as he watched Audre get to his feet.

When he was balanced, Audre pulled out a Hylian duel disk and slapped it on hid left forearm. Link's duel disk was already on his right forearm.

"Get your deck, slim! I'm getting payback." Audre yelled.

"I already got it, and you can try!" Link yelled.

Zelda backed up to the side lines and saw a brunette and blunette boy each running toward the three Hylians.

"Duel!" The two yelled.

"Link…" Zelda caught their attention, "You brought Jaden and Syrus?"

The two ran up and Jaden jumped for glee, "Sweet! Two Hylians throwin' it down!"

"Bastion should be here soon." Link smiled at Zelda.

"Victim goes first!" Audre yelled angrily as he drew, "This may look familiar to you, I play a Deku in Defense!" (300)

"Next, I play a spell called Temple of Time! You should know what this does, slim, so I choose my Deku to send into the future by three turns! Now I play Sonata of Awakening, so I pay 900 Life Points, and I summon a Spirit monster. Come forth, Gyorg!" (0)

"Why would he do that?" Syrus asked.

"Because, little brother," Zane came from behind, "The Temple of Time technically stops time moving in the duel for three turns, so he can keep Gyorg for three whole turns."

Alexis came up from behind as well, "But how is that possible? I mean, it's not how Spirit monsters work."

"It's Hylian Dueling. The effects are different." Zane told her.

"And why does it only have zero attack points? When Link dueled, it had more. Like…2400." Jaden said.

"No one has played a water field spell yet." Zelda said.

"Now I place two facedowns and end my turn." Audre said.

"Quite the turn, but I will stop you, here and now!" Link drew his card.

'Stop him?' Zelda thought.

"First off a play a Goron in ATK!" (2000) "And then I play the spells Fierceness of the Goron and Hylian Cut Off! I can double the ATK of my Goron," (4000), "and by using the other spell, I can keep your trap cards faced down."

The effect was supposed to work on both traps, but they didn't and Link wanted to know why.

"What's with this?"

"I know how you duel, slim. This trap is Death Sword. He destroys all cards on your field and nothing prevents this from happening, remember."

So Audre won that part. With clenched teeth, Link put down a facedown and took the End Phase. Now Audre took his standby phase.

"Hehe…you can't win slim." Audre looked at his hand.

"I sacrifice two cards in my hand to play an old card that used to be yours. Fierce Deity!" (3200)

"Fierce Deity! You stole that from me!" Link growled.

"Well, shrimp, what can I say? It was in the wrong hands. This card is too powerful for your kind!"

"Now before I attack, I play the spell card, Aquarium so now Gyorg gets his points!" (2600)

"You're a goner!" Audre laughed.

Link hid his eyes with his hair. He softly started to chuckle himself.

"What are you laughing at?" Audre asked.

"You think you can beat me? You made a huge mistake…" Link's voice became that sinister tone and when he looked up, Link's eyes were glowing the sky blue color they always were, except they seemed to really be glowing!

"Attack Gyorg!" Audre pointed.

When he hit Link, the side of his face was slightly cut! Which means the damage was real, and the ice cold water hit Zelda and the others.

"What just happened?" Syrus asked scared.

"Is it a…shadow duel? It couldn't be." Jaden thought aloud.

"In Hyrule, we call them Duels of Dark, or Senefa Kewok Na." Zelda explained.

"Has this happened before, Zelda?" Zane asked.

"I…yes." She said not seeing the use of lying.

"And now Fierce Deity, end this for him!" Audre yelled.

Link smiled evilly and played his facedown just before Fierce Deity got to him. The facedown was Floor Master, which negates the attack and sends Fierce Deity back to Audre's deck.

"Nice goin' slim, but that doesn't mean anything. Your go."

"Thanks!" Link took his standby phase and the evil voice hadn't gone away.

"Hn! I'm gonna win this duel right here and now, and you can't stop me! I'll start by playing Jar of Avarice, so I draw two cards…and I'll play one of them! I summon Twilit Dragon Argorok in attack mode!" (2900) "Before I proceed, I'm going to get rid of that facedown of yours and your field spell!"

"How?" Audre asked.

"By playing this!" Link held out a spell card called Requiem of Spirit.

"How does that help? I thought it was to negate an attack." Jaden said.

"It has a second effect. He can get rid of any spell or trap on Audre's field, and summon Spirit Temple."

"Well said, Zel. Now I destroy your facedown, and Spirit Temple is now Aquarium's replacement, so Gyorg's attack is only 0! Now attack Argorok, fire away!" Link laughed crazily as if he was an evil maniac.

Audre: 200 LP

Link: 1400 LP

Audre was attacked by Argorok, and it actually burned him! His hand was now covered in burn marks because that was the hand he used to cover his face. He looked down in horror as his hand was in serious pain. It throbbed and Link laughed.

"We have to stop this!" Zelda panicked.

"We can't! The minute a Duel of Dark starts, it won't stop until someone wins." Zane told her.

"And who ever looses won't be having a very good day…" Jaden told her worried.

"C'mon, Link! You have to win this!"

"Oh…no!" Zelda backed away in horror, "I know what he's doing. Majora is using my brother's anger so he can get Audre's soul to feed off of."

"And he'll get it right now! I activate Argorok's special ability, so of anything in my graveyard, Argorok can use its special ability. I choose the Goron, so Argorok, attack again!"

"What?" Audre gasped as fire was now coming towards him. It reached him, and flames surrounded Audre. No one could tell what happened then.

Audre lost the duel as well as his soul. It was Majora's Spirit's for the keeping now. Not only Majora's Mask and the other Masked Beast inside him, but now Audre was….

A bright light had covered the beach like before with Andrew and Zane. By the time it was gone, so was Audre! The only thing left of him was his deck and duel disk.

Link was lying on the other side on his back. His eyes were open, and they weren't glowing anymore. It took a moment's hesitation for him to realize what just happened. He remembered vividly.

Slowly, Link sat up and got a massive headache. He felt woozy and sick. Then he felt someone else's being inside him. It was Audre! Now, Majora was using Link to get souls. Suddenly, Link passed out, and Zelda was by his side immediately.

"Link! Link! It's Ombituske!" Zelda exclaimed.

"What?" Jaden asked.

"Link's condition! I need to get him to Nurse Fonda."

Zelda picked Link up like a baby, and ran to the building covering her face from the Humans so they couldn't see her teary face.

Awesome? Terrible? Review peeps this is the funnest I've ever had writing a story. SEE U NEXT CHAPTER
