I smiled sheepishly at Yusei and recited it the note the letter to them again. Yami and Yusei frowned.
"What about my time.?" Yusei asked at the same time Yami asked. "Do you know anything about Mairk?" I blinked a few times, before replying "No, I got to season three and this is season two, but anything I know won't help you by know, but I'll help you along the way I promise, considering I can't remember much about season two, but I definitely will help you." Yami nodded grateful and smiled at me. "I am assuming once I am finished with Yami"-I faked coughed here.-"I mean Yugi's time, I will be sent to yours." They nodded then someone hugged me from behind. I jumped in surprise and almost elbowed the person until I saw the Kuriboh like hair.
We all talked and we eventually said goodbye to Yugi (they switched eventually, so Yugi could, and I quote, "Get to know me better and give the spirit of the puzzle a rest."), anyway before we left I still said "Bye Yami, Bye Yugi!" and then Yusei sped off with me and Jaden on the back of his duel runner. After a very odd feeling we landed on a patch of grass. I looked up to see Duel Academy.
"Now," Jaden said. "you'll get to meet everyone." His eyes were sparkingly happily. I nodded and stood up with him.
Yusei looked us through his helmet and smiled. "I'll see you soon, Percy." he said. "Nice dueling with you Jaden" Yusei sped off on his duel runner, the Crimson Dragon following behind closely.
Jaden and I started to walk around in the woods trying to find the Slifer dorm. Jaden kept asking about all the fights I've been in, and I've told him about every one of them. Then a thought accuried to me, make me stop my walking, and the stupid the duffel bag was not helping.
"Jaden, I'm not even a student here!" I yelled, frustrated greatly. "I can't stay in the Slifer dorn all day! First my ADHD will kill me,"-I cringed.-"then a monster will come, and they can show up anywhere as you have seen!"
Jaden rushed over and covered my mouth with his hand and began to soothe me. "Percy," he said. "your agreed duelist, I'm sure I can get Chancellor Shepherd to let you in Duel Academy. As for the monsters, I don't know. The ADHD? I don't know either?" I nodded my head, Jaden uncovered my mouth, and I walked in a random direction, with Jaden following.
Eventually, we saw the Slifer dorm and Jesse Anderson and the rest, all talking outside. Chazz Princeton said something and Alex Rhodes sweatdropped and laughed nervously. Syrus looked our direction, saw me first Of course he saw me first... and pulled a confused face. He looked at Jaden and his eyes lit up.
"Jaden!" Syrus yelled. The others turned wide eyed and Syrus sprinted off towards our direction. He glombed Jaden, said person made a "omff" and sprawled out on the ground. The others walked over and eyed Jaden and I strangely.
Alexis come over and stuck her hand out."Alexis Rhodes," she said. "Obelisk Blue." I stared at her dumbstruck. Why is she being so nice? Shouldn't she be cautious of some one new, considering what's happened with them? I thought to myself with a small sweatdrop appearing on the back of my head.
A teal haired boy, known as Jesse Anderson, sent Alexis a look. Ah, there it is! I thought to myself, victoriously. I fiddled with Riptide nervously in my left jacket pocket with my left hand, then hesitantly shook her hand with my right and blinked.
"Oh... right," I grinned sheepishly at her. "sorry I spaced out... Hi Alexis, I'm Percy"-I swallowed.-"Jackson and I don't have a dorm." I replied, choosing my words carefully. I looked around to see if any monsters would pop out, not seeing any I decided I don't need to be afraid of saying my full name.
Alexis blinked a couple of times when I finished talking and letting go of her handshake. "Wait," Hassleberry asked. "you're not enrolled, soldier?"I looked towards Jaden silently pleading for help. Jaden looked at his friends and crossed his arms, smiling.
"Not yet she isn't" Jaden said happily. "Chancellor Shepherd owes me a couple of things, so this can make up for it!"
"Is she good?" Chazz snorted. I growled under my breath and pulled out Riptide twirled it a couple of times before putting it back. It's like another Daniel or Clarisse... great...
"The sheila has to be good!" Jim Cook said."If Jaden is going to recommend her, mate." Shirley growled at me and surprisingly I understood her.
"Nice to meet you my Princess." Shirley said. I stared at dumbfounded. Uh... how? my thoughts were cut short when she spoke again as if reading my mind. "You can hear my kind, because my kind originally lives in your father's domain."
I smiled at Jim and then smiled my Shirley. I took a knee in front of her and petted her scales. I looked up at Jim, to see him smiling at me in a strange way, but I can tell you it was in a good way.
"What its"-I cringed, disappointed that I had to call her an 'it'-"name?" I asked Jim.
"Her name is Shirley!" Jim said, still smiling. I stood back up and smiled brightly at him.
"Percy Jackson," I introduced. "I like your accent by the way, Australian?"
He smirked at me and titled his hat. "Yeah sheila it is. The name's Jim 'Crocodile' Cook. I've never seen a girl who are used to crocodiles, most are scared at first." he replied, casting a glance towards Alexis, said girl glared at him.
"Well," I said placing a hand behind my head. "let's just say, anything that involves water, is in my blood." I giggled at the end, and Jaden busted out laughing, knowing the actual meaning. I smiled at Jaden happily, enjoying how I got him to laugh. The others introduced themselves after Jaden calmed down.
"Let's go see Chancellor Shepherd then, huh?" Syrus asked.
"Jaden?" I urged Jaden smiled then started to walk towards the school.
Jesse came and beside me, so basically I was between him and Jaden. I brought out Riptide admiring it and thinking how Jaden, Yusei, Yami, and Yugi could see it in its sword form. Jaden nudged me in the rubs and I looked up at him.
"Hmm?" I answered. The others were engaged in a heated conversation about Paradox (the card thief) and some other things.
"Can you tell them?" he asked. I stared in the distance, thinking. Can I? Would they believe me? Would they even trust me after? I doubted myself, but sighed and nodded. "You tell them." I muttered to him.
Jaden slowed down and walked with the others letting me walk alone in the front, fiddling with the duffel bag. We were nearing the building, I could tell, but we were still in the forest. Jaden had finally finished my life story and the others were quiet afterwards. Jesse cleared his throat and I heard them all stop, but I kept going. I felt an unfimilar hand gently grasp my arm and stop me. I turned towards the owner of the hand, and my eyes connected with sparkling emerald.
"We have a couple of questions, Perce." Jesse said. I nodded and walked towards them. I faced them and rubbed my arms, feeling uncomfortable with all the stares pointed at me.
I cleared my throat and crossed my arms, gaining confidence. "Your questions," I blinked before adding. "or comments."
"I am so sorry that happened to you!" Alexis cried tears welling in her eyes. I blinked again, then rushed over to her and pulled the crying girl into a hug. I rubbed her back while she cried, now my shirt should have got wet, but being the daughter of Poseidon, has its perks. I eventually pulled back and smiled at her. She slightly smiled back at me and pulled out of the hug completely, nodding her thanks to me.
"How powerful are you?" Chazz asked. Of course he would ask that question...
"Uh..." I shrugged, thinking. "powerful enough to make the gods think I will over throw them, even my dad!" I blinked again, then added quickly. "Which I would never do!" I started to laugh a little at the end, but quickly stopped.
I looked at Jim and Shirley. "Jim?" I asked. He smiled at me then started. "Can you speak with Shirley, Sheila? You did say her kind lives in your father's domain." I nodded my head at his question and he smiled at me brightly.
"Do you..." Syrus said. "uh... do you know what is going to happen to us?"
I looed at the ground and shook my head no. "I'm sorry Syrus. I didn't get that far. I tried to, I really did! I'm sorry... gods I hate disappointing people..." I trailed off sadly. Syrus came over and hugged, I blinked in surprised and patted his shoulders awkwardly. He pulled away and smiled at Jaden.
Jesse cleared his throat and I turned to him. "So because of this curse your skin is like steel, expect one sport on your body, which is your Achilles Heal, right?" I nodded. "Can you show us?"
I pulled out Riptide and uncapped it, my 'pen' transformed into a sword and Hassleberry gasped. "That's some nice weapon choice there, soldier!"
I nodded. "Yes it is." I said. "This is my sword Riptide. I would try to stab myself with it, but I rather not break it. I would have Shirley bite me, but her teeth would break. Uh... oh! I got it! You can get a large branch and whack me with it!" I walked up to a tree, found a large branch and sliced Riptide through it, as if it was made of water, Riptide slashed through the branch.
"Okay..." I commanded. "Jaden, Chazz, Hassleberry, and Jim, pick up the branch high enough for me to stand under the middle of it."
"What-No!" Jim said along with Jaden.
I looked at Jaden. "Really?" I said to him. "I have Nectar and Ambrosia! I will be fine!" They reluctantly nodded and all four heaved the branch up, two on each end, and I walked under the middle of it.
"Now... Drop!" I said. They did and the branch was pulled towards the ground by gravity. Once the branch touched the skin on my head the branch broke in half and the pieces fell to the left side of me. I brushed the pieces of bark that landed on my shoulder off, and faced Jesse.
"Pleased?" I asked smirking. Jesse snapped out of his trance and nodded smiling proudly at me.
"Does anyone know where your Achilles Heal is?" Hassleberry asked. I nodded, clenching my fists remembering how Annabeth found out.
"Yeah," I said. "my best friend Annabeth does. In the war, a demigod on the wrong side tried to stab me in the Achilles Heal with a dagger, and Annabeth said she thought I was in trouble and"-I clenched my fists harder-"took the hit for me. The dagger was also poisoned, she nearly died! When she was in the infirmary I went to see her, and I told her. Well not directly told her anyway, I said where it was basically and she found it. I still am upset with myself, she almost died because of me! Boy, was I mad though! My mind went blank after I heard"-I chocked and tears welled in my eyes, but I continued.-"after I heard Annabeth cry out in pain. I went nuts. I started towards the army of monsters and my vision went red and when my vision was cleared my clothes were shredded and every monster was gone." I smiled weakly. 'When Annnabeth found my Achilles Heal, I made her pinky promise she would survive. So pinky promises are very important between Annabeth and I." I finished with a weak chuckle.
Jesse rubbed my back and hugged me from behind, and I tensed.
"I'm sorry about bringing up bad memories, Lieutenant." Hassleberry apologized.
I blinked and did a double take. "Wait," I said, confused. "wasn't I just 'soldier' just a minute ago?" I didn't direct the question to anyone directly, I just wanted an answer. I relaxed into Jesse and put the back of my head in his chest (not realizing it) still very confused. Syrus nodded his head at me question.
"Well," Hassleberry answered."you have been through a lot! So you deserve the title, Lieutenant." I smiled at them.
"Alright," I said to them. "Here is my question for all of you." Jaden came over and gently pulled me from Jesse to stand between Jesse and I, then kept a hold of my hand. I glanced at Alexis, to see she was smiling at Chazz. I furrowed my eyebrows in confusion. Doesn't she like Jaden? Isn't Chazz and Alexis barely friends with each other? I thought to myself.
Then it hit me. "Aphrodite." I growled under my breath. My duffel bag began to glow. Everyone stared at it in confusion, and I suddenly remembered the dress. My face twisted to horror and I looked at the sky. "I'm sorry! Please don't!" Praying to Zues she heard me. Yes, I did say Zues. Now, I may not like my dear Uncle Zues, who wants to kill me all the time, but I hate dresses way more.
Anyway, the bag stopped glowing and I sighed in relief. Alexis looked at me questionably, as did the others. I smiled sheepishly and started to rub the back of my neck in an embarrassed way. I sweatdropped at my own stupidness and nervously chuckled.
"Percy," Alexis started. "what did you do?" she demanded calmly.
I looked at her offended. "Me? I didn't do anything!" I denied, then added quickly. "This time..."
Really, why me? Ugh! Aphrodite is the one messing with me, I'm the victim here! She almost and probably would have put me in a dress, and not a normal either! A Greek styled one! I shouted in my head.
"What's so bad about a dress, isn't a new set of clothes a good thing to girls?" Syrus asked. I blinked a couple of times then sweatdropped.
"Did I say that aloud?" I asked to no one in particular. Jaden squeezed my hand and I jumped in surprise, I had forgotten he was still holding my hand. Then I realized what Syrus said. Holy Poseidon! Aphrodite's still listening!
"No!" I yelped when there was a flash of hot pink light. When it vanished we were all in different clothing our in our clothes were the same, but seemed more new.
Alexis was in a knee-length dress. The dress was a bit of a Greek styled one, the straps had a golden clasp keeping them together. The dress was an Obelisk Blue color and it faded to a white at the end. She had on white sandles and her hair was curled down to her chest. She had on Obelisk Blue eyeshadow and clear lip gloss. Her eyes seemed to be glistening, but she was blinking her eyes in confusion.
Hassleberry was in army type uniform, but it was yellow, Ra Yellow. He still had his bandanna and his dreadlocks, but he looked great either way.
Chazz was in a sort of tux thing, but it was completely black. His eyes looked slightly lighter and his skin looked less paler than usual.
Syrus was in Freshly groomed Ra Yellow uniform and a new pair of glasses. I didn't even notice the others were broken...
Jim was in shorts, a blue and red pladed shirt with the sleeves rolled up, so you could see his muscles . Everything else involving him was the same, but looked more new or better.
I looked to my left to see Jesse in his half Obelisk blazer and a teal T-shirt and slightly baggy navy blue jean pants and boots.
I looked at my right to Jaden in his red Slifer blazer and black muscle shirt under (the blazer was fully undone, because he never closes his voice) also bright red boots, and slightly baggy raven black jeans.
There was a mirror in my hand, and scarcely looked at my appearance.
I let out a groan, it was the dress that was in my bag. The dress did fit perfectly and complemented me greatly, but I just don't like dresses! It started a beautiful white, then faded to a gold around my waist, then back to white, then around my knees faded into a pretty sea green that matched my eyes. There was golden bands on both of my biceps and ankles. There was two sliver and one gold bracelets on my left wrist, and two gold and one sliver bracelets on my right wrist. I shakily held up the mirror and saw that my raven black hair was curled into bouncy curls that cascaded down my back. My face held no make-up, expect for my eyes and my lips. I had teal/sliver eyeshadow on and black eyeliner and mascara. I had on the same lipstick Alexis was wearing, which was clear.
"What happened?" Syrus asked.
I glared at the ground. "Aphrodite..." I growled. I looked at Syrus and pointed to myself. "This is what is so bad about the Goddess Aphrodite and a dress..."
"You look sharp there, Lieutenant!" Hassleberry exclaimed. I groaned and stuffed my face in his hands, after I let go of Jaden's hand.
"No, I don't" I muttered. "I look and feel like a Barbie." I looked at Hassle berry through my fingers and managed a small smile. "Thanks anyway Hassleberry."
He smiled at me and I let my arms fall to the side. Syrus looked at Jesse, Jaden, and me worriedly, as if he thought we were going to fight. I looked at my sides, to see Jesse and Jaden having a silent conversation. Oh, great another Annabeth and Chiron...
Alexis cleared her throat awkwardly, we all looked at her. "Should we head inside?" she asked, cowering under our gazes and everyone murmured their agreements, expect me.
"Oh-no! I am changing into something in my bag." I exclaimed. "I am not going in there as a Barbie!" I rushed over to my bag, unzipped it, pushed the duel disk from Yugi's time to the side and continued to dig through the bag. I found a teal lace shirt with sliver writing that says : "I'm not listening." I grabbed it, along with some shorts that go bit above my kneecap and an undershirt with some sliver TOMS. Kinda ironic I found an outfit to go along with my eyeshadow, that I wish I could wipe off...
I went behind some trees and changed quickly. I walked back in the clearing, went back to my duffel bag, unzipped it, stuffed the dress back in, moved the duel disk from Yugi's time over it, and swung it over my shoulder, then fiddled with it until it was comfrontable.
They all looked at me, dumbfounded. I crossed my arms with slight complication and glared slightly. "What?" I asked.
"A girl can't change that fast!" Chazz exclaimed shocked. Alexis got an anime angry mark on the side of her head and despite her attraction to him. I shivered slightly but didn't let it show. She's like the anime version of Annabeth, but different...
I started to walk to Duel Academy, with the others following, but still a bit slow.
"Well Chazz," I said. "At camp you either change and get into your 40 pound armor fast or you can get maimed fast. It's your choice at camp." I shrugged at the end, not seeing the big deal, I've got maimed twice, and I've learned my lesson.
Chazz looked at me with horror and I sent a confused glance at him in return. "What do you mean by 'maimed', Sheila?" Jim asked cautiously. I smiled nervously and chuckled the same way, I've doing that lately haven't I?
I uncapped Riptide and walked over to a tree and sent a silent prayer for the tree that I cut the branch off from earlier, and this tree saying sorry to Grover, Lord of the Wild and heard a slight mummer in reply. Wait, can he hear me? I shook my heads, pushing those thoughts out of my head.
"Contact later Percy." I muttered to myself. I turned to them and smirked.
"This is maiming." I said to them. I turned back to the tree, twirled Riptide, and slashed. If it was a person or a demigod it probably would have been from the left shoulder to the right hip. I slashed again, straight across, that would have been across the stomach or chest. I slashed one more time knocking off the last blow of the bark. That slash probably would have been from the right collar-bone to the left elbow. Then capped Riptide and put in my pocket.
"That's maiming?" Jesse started, angered.
"That's it, your not going back to get hurt like that!" Jaden finished, just as angry.
Jesse stepped forward and grasped my wrist and pulled me towards him. It took all I literally had not to flip him or struggle when he did that, battle reflexes are not always the best thing in the world. He wrapped an arm around my shoulders and rubbed my bar left arm with his hand.
I sweatdropped, then started laughing. "Did you all forget? I bear the curse of Achilles, I can't be maimed!" I said, still laughing. "Also we have Ambrosia and Nectar at camp! Plus I have to go back..." I trailed off.
"Why?" Syrus asked with confusion clear in his eyes.
I blinked then sighed. "The Great Prophecy." I replied.
"What about it?" Alexis asked.
"We think I am apart of it..." I trailed off and Jesse held me tighter, don't ask me why.
"Okay!" I exclaimed. "Now that is over. Let's go!" I pulled out of Jesse's arms and began walking towards the building. The others followed expect Jesse and Jaden, it's quite ironic considering they are like the leaders.
"Wait," Jesse shouted. "you don't know where you're going!"
I turned and started to jog backwards. "The Hades I don't!" I shouted back, then started to smirk. "From what I remember Jesse, you didn't either when you first arrived." Jesse blushed bright red and started to catch up with me. Jaden laughed while doing them same as him.
I entered the school, and automatically saw Crowler standing inside with his arms crossed, almost like he was waiting for something or someone. But instead of the original eye color, his eyes were blue with red, orange, and sliver all around them. His eyes screamed "Finally!" when he saw us enter the Academy.
"Mr. Yuki, did you find the thief?" Crowler asked, then started to snicker. " Or did you give up and want a true duelist to find him, like an Obelisk Blue?" I clenched my fists. To much like Mr. D or Hermes in a bad mood. Wait a minute...
"No sir! I found him, beat him in a duel, and returned all the stolen cards!" Jaden exclaimed oblivious. "We need to see Chancellor Shepherd."
"Why?" Crowler asked. Then his gaze landed on my and his eyes flashed. I narrowed my eyes slightly at him. He's way too familiar... I reached into my short pocket and pulled out Riptide and clutched it (it's in pen form). Crowler smirked slightly, as if he expected me to have done that.
"Who is this?" he asked smiling evilly. I gripped Riptide tighter, so tight that my knuckles were turning white. Jesse gently grabbed my right hand (the hand that Riptide was in) and rubbed the back and pulled Riptide out of my grasp and slid into my pocket. He then laced our fingers together, still rubbing the back of my hand. Okay...
"She is Percy and the reason we need to Chancellor Shepherd." Alexis explained calmly.
Crowler looked at me again, smirking. "Come along." he said. He walked into an office that I am sure is his. We followed him soon after I let go of Jesse's hand.
I crossed my arms dangerously and glared at 'Crowler' "Alright," I said in a low voice. "who are you?"
Syrus nudged me in the side and I leaned down. "I thought you knew, because of the show..." Syrus trailed off.
I smirked at his thought slightly. "Just trust me..." I mumbled back to him.
I turned back to 'Crowler'. "You gonna answer?" I demanded.
He smiled ruefully at me. "I am Dr. Crowler."
My smirk grew at that statement and I brought out Riptide and fiddled it with in pen form. "Okay if you are Dr. Crowler, then what monster did Jaden destroy in the entrance exam and did it win the duel?" I asked, still fiddling with Riptide proudly.
Jaden leaned down and started to whisper. "What are you-" he started until I cut him off. "Trust me." I insisted.
'Crowler' panicked slightly, but didn't show it that much. "My Ancient Gear Golem and yes." he answered.
"What monster and attack did he use to do so?" I question, resisting to smirk.
"Elemental Hero Flame Wingman and Skydive Scorcher." he answered starting to grit his teeth.
"Did you know when Winged Kuriboh is destroyed, you don't lose any life points, before that duel?" I questioned again, letting the ends of my lip curl upwards slightly, but not enough to be noticable.
"No." he said, through gritted teeth.
"What do you call Jaden or still do call him?" I said curiously, well with fake curiosity anyway...
"Slifer Slacker." he said without missing a beat. Jaden gasped in mock offense.
"Who is my dad?" I asked, knowing I tricked him.
"Poseidon or Uncle P.' he replied in a heartbeat also chuckling. He stopped and groaned, then groaned.
I smiled in victory. "I knew it! Let me guess..."-I put on a thinking face, tapping the side of my head.-" Hermes?"
'Crowler' nodded and slowly changed to a lean guy with shaggy chestnut brown hair that sweeped to the side. He had on a button up, green and grey shirt (it was only buttoned up the first three), and grey shorts. He had the same eyes and was holding his caldus. He looked a lot like Seto Kaiba, but instead of the emotionless face, he was pouting.
"Aw, Percy" Hermes whined. "I was having fun!"
I snorted. "That's like me having 'fun' fighting against Kronos!" A look of pain flashed through his eyes. Oops.. Luke...
"Sorry Hermes." I apologized and he nodded. "But why are you here? Where are George and Martha?"
"On vibrate and I wanted to thank you." I titled my head in confusion. "For making us swear of the Styx not to ignore our children anymore and claim them." He smiled at me.
I smiled back, then pulled a confused face. "That can't be the only thing!" I insisted.
"Also," Hermes said, ignoring my outburst. "Hera has been planning something, and it involves you and some other demigods."
I rolled my eyes. "When doesn't Hera want to mess with me." I said. "Aphrodite is already started to mess with me now." I closed my eyes and another anime angry mark appeared on the side of my head.
"Anyway," Hermes said, checking his pager. "I have to get going, this has taken up to much time. Oh, and don't bother enrolling, you won't be here that long. And Percy?"
I looked at him again. "Yeah?"
He looked at me in the eye. "Slifer is coming." Then he disappeared in a burst of smoke.
I looked back at the others and clasped my hands together. "Well looks like I'm hiding in the Slifer dorm, who am I sharing with?"
It's been about a week since the visit with Hermes, and I'm starting to worry about Marik. What's he doing? What has happened? How long until I go there? How long will I stay there? What will I do there? I shook my head and looked back out to the view from the Slifer Dorm. The others where inside doing homework from Crowler's class and I said I wanted to step out for some air.
I sighed in content looking out to the sea, my domain. Suddenly there was a swirling sound coming from behind me. I looked behind me with Riptide (in pen form) in my hand. I relaxed when I saw Hermes, then tensed again. Why is he here?
"It's time Percy." Hermes said. My spirit darkened and my stomach dropped. I'm leaving now, and I had to say good-bye."Oh wow that sounded creepy." He commented chuckling. I laughed and nodded my head in agreement.
"Yeah that kinda did." I said to him, still laughing.
"Go get your bag, might want to put on your duel disk, your going to get challenged as soon as you get there," Hermes commanded, trying to stop chuckling. "and say good-bye."
I nodded and walked to the door. I put my hand on the door knob and breathed in and out deeply. Here we go... I opened the door and they all looked up. I smiled at them slightly. I walked over to my to the beds, reached under and tugged out my duffel bag. I unzipped it and slid on my duel disk and strapped on my deck holder that had my deck inside of it.
"What are you doing there Percy?" Syrus asked, putting down his pencil on the piece of paper.
"It's..." I choked slightly. "It's time..."
Jesse looked up alarmed. "What do you mean?"
"It's time," I said again. "I'm leaving for Yugi's time..."
"Are you serious, Sheila?" Jim asked, putting his pen down with everyone else.
"Yeah." I said, my voice cracking as I stood up, them following suit. "You guys gonna say good-bye or what?"
They all stood there, but Alexis snapped out of it first. Alexis launched at me, giving me a bear hug, and I hugged tightly back. "Please be careful Percy" she whispered, as I felt tears falling from her eyes onto my shirt. "Try to come back will you?"
I giggled slightly. "I will," I said. "I promise." She realised me and Jim gave a small hug wishing me a safe journey. I nodded at him and accepted the hug Hassleberry gave me. Hassleberry then soon stepped back and saluted to me and I laughed and saluted back. Chazz ruffled my hair, as if I was his little sister and wished my good luck in the Battle City tornment. I gasped in shock, then dug around in my duffel bag and slipped my two locator cards in my back left pocket. I thanked him for reminding me to put get my locator cards, or I probably would had to start over in the tornment. Syrus flew at me and started to sob on to my jacket like that one time when Jaden was offered to be in Ra Yellow but stayed in the Slifer Dorm and Syrus flew at him sobbing and hugging him. I widened my eyes and pattted his shoulder awkwardly like the first time he hugged me. He kept stuttering through his tears, but mangaged to stay good luck. Jesse came forward and hugged me gently and whispered to me how much he was going to miss me and that he knew I was going to do great in that tornment. He pulled back and kissed my cheek then moved so Jaden can say good bye. Jaden stepped forward and wrapped his arms around my shoulders and I wrapped my arms around his waist in return. (I am as tall as Yugi.. and I don't really like it that much...) He said about the same things as Jesse did, but more passionate. Jaden pulled back and kissed the corner of my lips, the looked behind him to see the others weren't paying attention, but confronting Hassleberry, Alexis, and Syrus, who were crying hard here. Jaden turned back towards me and pecked my lips with his in a good bye kiss. I widened my eyes in surprise and pulled back from the hug when I heard a knock at the door.
Jaden went to the door and opened it. Hermes stood there and waved toward me impatiently to come on. He tapped his watch, saying there wasn't much time. I nodded my head numbly, considering my mind was a bit numb. I stumbled towards my duffel bag and swung that over my shoulder careful of my duel disk that was on my left arm. Hermes snapped his fingers and the bag shrunk down to key chain of a trident in my hands.
I looked at him in confusion. "It's better than carrying that around all day," Hermes shrugged. "just throw it in the air and it will avert back into the duffel bag, okay?"
I nodded and walked towards him while putting the key chain in my right front pocket that had Riptide in it as well. He grabbed my right hand and I waved at them with my left hand. Then my vision blurred as we started to spin and disappeared from their sight.
When my vision cleared we were in battle city and we were in a corner between to shops. I looked around and saw a duelist showing off two locater cards to his friends. I smirked then turned to Hermes to find him already gone. I walked into the open and walked around until I heard a guy's voice shout out "Hey girlie!"
I turned to see that duelist run up to me. "Me?" I asked.
"Yeah you," he said. The duelist was a guy that looked like Duke Devlin but with blonde hair and it was Seto Kaiba styled. He wore a black muscle shirt and jean shorts. He smirked at me like he thought I couldn't do anything, especially beat him in a duel. Oh, great another Daniel... "the name's Michael, and you want to duel?"
I smirked at him and slid my deck into my duel disk. "Percy Jackson," I said. "and sure."
"How many locator cards do you have?" Michael asked.
"Two, why?" I answer, but ended with a question.
"I have two too," Michael said. "how about who ever wins gets both of the loser's locator cards and two of their rarest cards?"
I nodded, agreeing to the terms.
"Let's Duel!" We shouted in unison.
