With the day nearly finished, the remaining duels would be postponed until tomorrow morning. The following finalists have advanced:
-Sailor John (Defeated Spencer)
-Thomas (Defeated Lady)
With the gang, Percy was busy complaining to Thomas over something.
"How? How?! HOW?!" he asked repeatedly. "How are you so gosh-darn popular with the girls we come across!?"
"I'll admit that I'm curious, too." James agreed. "First there was Emily back in memorial school, then Molly in early high school, then Rosie in this tournament, and now Lady in the finals!"
"I'll certainly say this about you... You're a real ladies man, little Thomas." Gordon joked.
"Could you tell us what your secret to it is?" asked Henry.
"Um, natural charm?" Thomas asked sheepishly. Truth be told, even he was stumped. "I...really have no idea."
Yeah, that's the answer there...
Title: Duel Between Friends, Part 1
While everyone else was talking about that little scene from earlier, Emily continued to fold her arms and cast an upset look in the direction of Thomas for what seemed like forever... At least before she decided to just forget that Lady kissed Thomas.
"Oh, what am I thinking?" The dark green-haired girl thought to herself. "Lady is together with Percy, and besides it was just an innocent little kiss. I mean, it's not like-"
"Emily?" came Edward's voice.
Emily snapped out of her thoughts.
"Are you alright?"
"Unlike Percy, you seemed more upset that Thomas was kissed by Lady." Toby pointed out. "Does this mean what I think it means?"
Emily blushed fiercely. "W-W-Why of course not!" she stammered, giggling in embarrassment. "Don't be silly, Toby. I... I just don't like when other girls kiss Thomas, because... Um, I'm afraid they'll take advantage of him. Yeah! That's it!"
"PAH!" Gordon snorted in amusement. "The look on your face clearly says that you DO like him, and that you also get jealous whenever other girls get near him."
"All right, boys, back off." Mavis spoke up, as she stepped in. "If Emily doesn't want to talk about it, then we don't talk about it."
And so, Gordon, Henry, James, and Toby all immediately hushed up.
"Thanks, Mavis." smiled Emily.
"What are best friends for?" The blonde-haired girl grinned back. "Now come on... Since the duels are finished for the day, why don't we go hit the sauna? My treat."
Emily was delighted. "I'm in!"
Patch got a look of pure mischief on his face when he heard the word 'Sauna'. But unlike last time, Mavis went and gave the black-haired boy a VERY stern look when she and Emily both saw the dirty look on his face.
"Don't even think about it, Patch!" scolded Mavis.
"Follow us, and you're deadmeat!" Emily threatened. "Got it?"
"Yes, ma'am." Patch gulped nervously.
This time, unlike when they were relaxing by the pool in their swimsuits, Emily and Mavis were both only going to be wearing towels around their bodies when they go and enjoy the sauna (or Steam Room if you like), meaning they were now going to technically be... Yeah... No boys allowed, indeed. With that all agreed to, the dark green-haired girl and blonde-haired girl both walked away. Once they were far enough away, Patch immediately whistled and started to walk away... just before being stopped by Gordon.
"You're gonna follow them, aren't you?" he asked deadpanly.
Patch grinned. "Oh, you bet I am! Two hot girls in towels only? This I want to see!"
"Okay, it's your funeral." James shrugged. "I've got a deck to prepare, so I'll be in my room until dinner."
The red-haired boy walked away, leaving the remaining boys to chat with Patch—rather severely, might I add.
"You're going to get yourselves into serious trouble if you don't stop it." warned Edward. "If Lady and Lily both found out about this, you'd be in a real pickle."
"I've survived worse from Lily." Patch retorted. "And we're still good friends. The same with Lady."
Percy glared. "You're going too far, Patch! Not even I would go and do something as low as this."
"Wimp!" Patch huffed. "Suit yourself, but I'm the braver man."
"You mean the smarter one!"
With that said, the black-haired boy walked away to sneakily to go and spy on Emily and Mavis in the sauna. The remaining boys all rolled their eyes, clearly not in any amusement.
"He's just asking for trouble." grumbled Toby.
"Big time." Henry agreed.
"Anyway, Thomas, congrates on winning the duel." Percy said to his best friend.
"Thanks." said Thomas, smiling. "But I also have Lady to thank for it, too."
"True that." Gordon nodded. "If it wasn't for her snapping you out of your anger funk, you would have lost."
The blue-haired boy nodded. "Yeah."
"I wonder who will be next to duel?" Percy wondered.
"Remember when James said he was going to prepare his deck?" Henry spoke up. "And since Spencer, Sailor John, Thomas, and Lady already had their duels..."
"That means James and I have to duel!"
"Just be careful out there, Percy-" warned Edward kindly. "-and you'll be fine."
But Percy was worried. Whoever won this duel would have to face off against either Thomas or Sailor John. Then he had an idea.
"If James and I ended the duel with a draw-" he thought to himself. "-then Thomas would just have to fight Sailor John, and that would be it." Percy became gloomy. "But how can we do so?"
"Are you okay, little Percy?" quizzed Gordon. "You look upset."
"Are you worried about dueling James, tomorrow?" added Toby.
"A little bit." Percy admitted. "I mean, James is our friend. Friends shouldn't fight each other."
"Unfortunately, James also has a lot of pride." put in Edward. "I don't think he'll want to hold back or anything."
"How right you are." agreed Gordon.
This made Percy all the more worried. James was gonna be a hard one to defeat, indeed.
(elsewhere...)
In a new location within the mansion, some voices could be heard coming from inside a sauna with steam coming out of it.
"This is like heaven." sighed the voice of Emily.
"See? Always trust your best friend." added the voice of Mavis in a joking sort of tone.
"Oh, I will! I will!"
Some cheerful laughs from the two girls were then heard. Unfortunately, things were about to go very wrong for Emily and Mavis. Why is that, you're asking right now? Oh, because Patch decided to go and follow anyway.
"That Percy..." he muttered mischeviously. "What a wimp!" Although Patch had been warned not to, he just couldn't resist himself. "I'd like to see those two girls in just towels!"
He then sneaked over to the door, and was just about to go over and peek through the window when...
"Ahh, that was so relaxing!" came Mavis's voice.
"It's them!" thought Patch. "I'd better hide!"
Suddenly, the door to the sauna opened up and revealed a sweaty Emily and Mavis with their hair all wet and wearing nothing but towels around their bodies. Of course, they were so busy talking...
"Thanks again for the-" Emily started to say.
Both girls proceeded to look forth, and got a shock when they saw Patch...
"PATCH?!" Emily and Mavis both exclaimed in surprise.
But...that surprise came with a consequence. From the shock, the two girls raised BOTH their hands in the air as they jumped back. One of their hands was to keep the towel around their body. This resulted in one thing... Both girls' towels dropped to the ground near their feet...
"Uh-oh..." thought Patch, gazing at more than he ever imagined he would see. He also knew that he was REALLY in for it now.
There was a very long, awkward silence. Emily and Mavis both gazed at the flustered Patch before looking down to see he was staring at their fully exposed bodies. The two girls turned completely red in the face before silently looking back up at Patch...
(elsewhere...)
Outside Discord's mansion, it was quiet... Or it was quiet until the voices of Emily and Mavis both unleashed earthshattering screams that seemed to rock the whole mansion.
(elsewhere...)
Later on, everyone was in the dining room enjoying dinner. Patch was sporting a VERY large lump on the side of his head, as well as a black eye. Emily and Mavis were both seated as far enough away from the boy as possible, looking quite angry and embarrassed to say the least.
"H-Hey..." Percy spoke to the girls. "So, how was your trip to the sauna? I bet it must have been very nice."
"Oh, it was all just fine and dandy at first..." Mavis muttered irritably.
"...at least until we were coming out of it." Emily added to that. "As we did, Patch appeared out of no where, startling us so badly that our towels dropped to the floor and saw us-"
"Patch!" scolded both Lady and Lily at once, cutting off what Emily was saying.
However, Thomas and the remaining boys all dropped their utensils. They were very much shocked when they heard that Patch actually saw Mavis and Emily both... Yeah... The words for this situation are a state of undress. Needless to say, much of the male Tidmouth Teens were also very unhappy with their black-haired friend.
"So, that's why we heard female screams earlier..." frowned Henry.
"It was an accident!" Patch insisted. "I swear, I didn't see anything!"
"More like accidentally on purpose." said Edward severely. "We all warned you stop acting like that, because it would lead to trouble eventually."
Unfortunately...
"Wait, you saw Emily and Mavis both naked? Sweet!" James suddenly blurted out in excitement. "I've heard Emily is well-developed for her age. Oh, and was Mavis's body as well-endowed and toned as we've heard?" Those perverted comments earned the red-haired boy a bunch of nasty glares from everyone (except Patch) at the dining table, making him hastily correct his little error. "I-I mean that was not a very good thing to do, Patch. Not good at all."
"What's your deal, anyway?" Henry asked hotly. "The way you're acting around them and stalking them sounds like you have a crush on them or something."
"Well..." Patch tried to think of an excuse. "You see, I-!"
"You should be ashamed of yourself, Patch." scolded Lily, interrupting her friend. "Tickling them, while funny, was still unnecessary. But spying on them while they were using the sauna was going WAY too far!"
"I've never been so humiliated in all my life!" Mavis huffed in an upset tone, referring to when Patch saw her without a towel on.
"Me too!" added Emily hurtfully, also referring to when Patch also saw her without a towel on.
"To be honest, I think you owe them both an apology." Thomas pointed out. "I certainly hope you've learned a big lesson out of all of this."
"I'm sorry." said Patch quietly.
"I'm afraid you'll have to do something much better than that." Toby remarked sternly. "You've hurt those two girls pretty badly."
Emily and Mavis kept their arms folded. It would seem that they both agreed with the brown-haired boy.
"Patch?" Thomas pressured.
"All right, all right!" The black-haired boy bellowed, standing up from his seat and walking over to the two girls.
"Well?" Emily immediately asked.
"Is there something you'd like to tell us?" Mavis added.
"I'm sorry for how I acted." said Patch, this time truthfully. "It will never happen again."
"And-?" Mavis demanded.
"It was wrong of me to startle you like that." Patch continued.
"And-?" Emily pushed it further.
"It was wrong of me to also tickle you while you were both in your swimsuits. And... I should never have saw you naked."
Emily and Mavis suddenly both smirked. They were gonna have a blast getting even with Patch for humiliating them like that.
"And-?" They both said at once.
"Come on!" begged Patch. "What else do you want me to say?"
Emily and Mavis both began laughing cheerfully. Yup, this was too much fun. Patch then realized that they were now just playing with him and he starting laughing, too. The remaining teenagers also joined in the laughter.
"So, are we cool now?" Patch asked the two girls when the laughter subsided.
"We're cool." said Emily, smiling.
"Just never do anything like that ever again." Mavis warned sternly. "Got it?"
"Don't worry, I've got it." Patch obeyed truthfully.
Suddenly, Mavis smirked mischievously. "Now then, would you care to tell us why you've been doing that stuff to us in the first place?" she question with a flirting wink.
"Wha-?"
"Yeah! Perhaps it's because you find us to both be very pretty girls?" Emily asked, smiling seductively. "Maybe even a slight crush?"
Patch felt himself blush. Where they just trying to play a trick on him?
"Um... well..." The black-haired boy stuttered, but then he saw the two girls REALLY turn on the charm. The flirting-like, seducing smiling, eyes fluttering looks on both Emily and Mavis's respective faces were making him even more nervous. "Grghhh..."
Patch finally fainted on the spot, his eyes all swirly and such.
"Looks like we taught him a lesson." said Mavis proudly.
"You said it." Emily agreed playfully, as she and the blonde-haired girl both high-fived each other. "Never mess with us girls!"
Thomas and Toby both stared in amazement.
"Those two are absolutely brilliant." commented Thomas.
"And I'm lucky to have one of them as a girlfriend." Toby added, referring to Mavis.
Well, that was an eventful dinner. How's Sailor John's prisoners doing? Let's go see...
(elsewhere...)
Inside Sailor John's hideout, a few pirates were visiting Skiff, Mr. Gresley (Boxford), and Mrs. Gresley (Boxford). Possibly to inform them on Sailor John and Spencer's duel.
"Guess what?" boasted a pirate. "Your boy Spencer lost to the captain!"
"That's too bad." Another pirate snickered. "That means Boxford Corp now belongs to Sailor John."
Mr. and Mrs. Gresley (Boxford) both gasped with horror. Their own son had lost to that monster of a pirate. Skiff, however, realized how it happened.
"He used that very card, didn't he?" The young boy demanded immediately.
"He sure did." taunted the third pirate. "And once he's won the tournament, then you three will become our servants."
"Wait!" Mr. Gresley (Boxford) cut in, running to near the prison bars. "What 'card' are you guys talking about?"
"Um... well..." Skiff struggled to say, but was unable to.
But one of the three pirates sure did have something to say...
"A card powerful enough to rival the Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon." explained the second pirate. "The Legendary Five-Headed Dragon!"
Mr. and Mrs. Gresley (Boxford) both gasped with horror again. A car that powerful and rare actually exists?
"So, then it's real?" Mrs. Gresley (Boxford) asked.
"Oh yes, it's real." The first pirate nodded. "Originally created and owned by Discord himself."
"Until a certain someone here won it from a tournament." The second pirate added, leering to a certain young boy.
Skiff lowered his head in shame.
"YOU, Skiff?" exclaimed Mr. and Mrs. Gresley (Boxford) in realization.
"Yes." Skiff said quietly.
"Thanks to Skiff winning-" jeered the third pirate. "-Sailor John has the most powerful monster in existence!"
"No one, I bet not even that Thomas kid, can beat our captain!" The first pirate arrogantly claimed.
The three pirates then laughed to themselves as they walked away, leaving Spencer's parents shocked, and Skiff feeling ashamed.
"This is all my fault." murmured Skiff. "I wish I never won that card."
"Skiff..." Mrs. Gresley said softly, feeling nothing but pity and sorrow for the young boy.
"Is there still a way to beat Sailor John?" asked Mr. Gresley.
"I don't know." Skiff softly answered. "I feel now we're doomed."
Yes, this situation was looking pretty grim. But let's go back to the mansion now, shall we?
(elsewhere...)
Later that evening in the mansion, Sailor John was still up inside his room looking over his deck.
"Thanks to this little card-" he said, holding up Five-Headed Dragon. "-I'm one step closer to my destiny. I should really thank Skiff later on for winning me this card a few years ago."
Sailor John sat down at the nearby table and started rebuilding his deck for the next duel later on.
"But that will have to wait, I'm afraid." The pirate captain went to work. "I still have a tournament to win, and once I do win it..." The man's eyes became psychotic looking. "I will find out the secret to those carvings, one way or another!"
He let out a booming laugh, just as the night went on.
(elsewhere...)
The next morning, everyone was down in the dining room having breakfast.
"Looks like today's the day, Percy." James stated. "We have to duel each other."
"I know." Percy mumbled quietly.
James was surprised. "Something the matter? You've barely touched your food."
"I'm not feeling hungry." Percy mumbled again. "I don't have much of an appetite, right now."
James started laughing. "Now that's a laugh! Between me, Gordon, and Henry, you're usually one of the big eaters of the group, and now you're saying you're not hungry?! HA! That's rich, Percy. Real rich!"
"James, shame on you!" scolded Edward. "Percy's upset at the thought of fighting one of his closest friends."
"So? It's not THAT big a deal." James rebuffed. "It's just a duel. Besides, we've dueled plenty of times back home."
"Not when the winner would have to fight either Thomas or Sailor John." retorted Percy. "If we tied, then Thomas would just have to duel Sailor John and save everybody."
"Sorry, Percy. As much as I want Thomas to face Sailor John, that's not how James Hughes duels." James pointed out. "When we duel, only one of us will come out on top."
Percy was dismayed. "That's what I was afraid of."
The other teenagers expressed disappointment that James was gonna be dueling at his best, rather than finding a way to end the duel in a draw.
"This won't end well?" Henry asked Gordon.
"This won't end well." Gordon nodded gravely.
"Do your best, Percy." encouraged Thomas.
"And remember that you have the Red-Eyes Black Dragon card, too." Mavis added to that.
"As well as its support cards." Toby threw in.
"Thanks, you guys." said Percy, managing to smile. "I'll try my best."
"You'll need to." boasted James. "You'll need to pull a miracle out of your deck if you wanna beat my Elemental HEROES!"
Quite a few sighs came from the table. It was then Discord's butler walked into the dining hall.
"It's time." he said. "Will James Hughes and Percy Avonside both follow me to the dueling platform, please?"
The two duelists stood open and followed the butler.
"Come on, guys!" Thomas exclaimed, getting up off his seat and left the hall, too.
(elsewhere...)
The others followed behind him. Finally, inside the duelling chamber, Percy and James both stood ready for their duel. Discord was seated in his usual chair nearby.
"Percy, I hope you're ready." called James. "Because I want you to give it all you've got!"
"I intend to." replied Percy. In his mind... "At least, I hope I can."
The two activated their Duel Disks and drew their opening hands (LP: 4000) x2.
"DUEL!" The two teenage boys both announced at once.
Up on the balcony, the remains of the gang had finally arrived to watch the duel.
"Hard to see two friends fight each other, isn't it?" asked Toby.
"It is." Edward nodded grimly. "Especially since one is reluctant to duel at his best, while the other is determined to win."
"Percy for reluctant-" Henry stated. "-and determined for James."
Thomas just watched his friends without saying anything. Down below, James had offered to take the first turn.
Turn One: James Hughes (LP: 4000)
Deck: (35)
Current Hand (5): Skyscraper, Elemental HERO Sparkman, Elemental HERO Clayman, Hero Barrier, and Polymerization
Looking at his hand, James quickly knew a good play that would get him an early advantage. He took three cards from his hand and held them out.
"I play the Spell card Polymerization!" The red-haired boy announced. "Using it, I'll fuse Elemental HERO Sparkman with Elemental HERO Clayman, both from my hand!"
The two mentioned monsters appeared on the field before fusing together.
"I fusion summon Elemental HERO Thunder Giant!"
The fusion sequence ended, and there stood a large, buff, humanoid, male monster wearing yellow torso armor, crackling with electricity (Level: 6/ATK: 2400/DEF: 1500).
"And James starts off strong." Percy thought to himself.
"Next I place one card facedown." continued James, sliding a card into a Spell/Trap slot on his Duel Disk. He then held up his final card as it started glowing all white. "And finally, I'll do a little scenery change with the Field Spell card Skyscraper!"
Buildings started riding from the ground around the dueling platform.
"How's that for a start?" James boasted. "Go luck getting past this guy!"
"Not bad." said Percy. "But let's see if I have anything to top that." He drew his card. "Draw!"
Turn Two: Percy Avonside (LP: 4000)
Deck: (34)
Current Hand (6): Block Attack, Gearfried the Iron Knight, Legendary Sword, Hayabusa Knight, Silver Dollar, and Polymerization
His hand contained Block Attack, Gearfried the Iron Knight, Legendary Sword, Hayabusa Knight, Silver Dollar, and the drawn Polymerization.
"I think I'll summon this bad boy out." The green-haired boy held out a monster card from his hand. "Gearfried the Iron Knight in attack mode!"
Appearing on the field was a knight covered in black body armor with a built on shield and sword (Level: 4/ATK: 1800/DEF: 1600).
"Not a bad move, Percy." James simply dismissed. "But I'm afraid that Gearfried is no match for Thunder Giant."
"Are you sure?" Percy asked with a smirk.
"Huh?"
"Your Thunder Giant has 2400 attack points." Percy pointd out. "However, its defense is only 1500."
"So what?" James brushed off. "My monster is in attack mode, not in defense mode."
The green-haired boy had a different play in mind. "Then watch this little change..."
With that said, he took and slotted another card into his Duel Disk. On cue, a Spell card called Block Attack materialized face-up on the field.
"I play Block Attack!"
"Oh no!" James exclaimed. "Now my monster will be forced into defense mode!"
"That's right!" Percy grinned some more.
Elemental HERO Thunder Giant started kneeling in a defensive stance.
"Now, Gearfried-" commanded Percy. "-destroy Thunder Giant!"
Gearfried the Iron Knight obeyed, charging at Elemental HERO Thunder Giant. James, however, grinned right back.
"Well, I would be worried...if I didn't have this little Trap card." He poked a button on his Duel Disk. "Hero Barrier!"
James's facedown card flipped up and revealed itself.
"Bust my buttons!" cried Percy.
A large barrier protected Elemental HERO Thunder Giant from Gearfried the Iron Knight's attack.
"Too bad, Percy." taunted James. "Your monster's attack has been negated thanks to me controlling an Elemental HERO monster."
"Nuts!" groaned Percy.
Gearfried the Iron Knight was forced to stop his attack. He looked annoyed that his attack backfired. Percy, meanwhile, took another card from his hand and slid it into a Spell/Trap slot on his Duel Disk.
"I place one card facedown and end my turn."
A facedown card materialized.
"Then I guess it's my turn, then!" James declared, drawing his card. "Draw!"
Turn Three: James Hughes (LP: 4000)
Deck: (34)
Current Hand (1): Elemental Mirage
His drawn card was a Trap card called Elemental Mirage
"I could use this for later." he thought to himself, just before looking to Elemental HERO Thunder Giant. "I switch Thunder Giant back into attack mode."
Elemental HERO Thunder Giant stood up upon command.
"Go, Thunder Giant! Destroy Gearfried the Iron Knight with Voltic Thunder!"
Elemental HERO Thunder Giant obeyed, charging up a blast of electricity and firing it at Gearfried the Iron Knight and destroying it. Percy grunted as he took damage (LP: 3400).
"You're gonna have to try better than that, Percy." James remarked. "Because I'm not gonna be showing you any mercy throughout this duel."
"He's right." Percy thought to himself. "His monster has 2400 attack points, and nothing I have right now can stand up to it. Block Attack failed to help take it down, and now I'm left with only a weak monster until I can draw something stronger. But will I be able to do it in time? Or will I be in for the fight of my life?"
To be Continued!
