We do not own these Yu-Gi-Oh characters.
Reviews:
To those who are wondering about Jazz and Zana being in Jaden's Harem (see what I did there?) and other girls: We've got plans, just wait and see.
Guest Jan 11: Here it is.
"Z... Zana!" Syrus gasped as he backed up a step
Standing there was Zana Truesdale, the greatest duellist of duel academy
Zana was wearing a dark blue sleeved tailcoat jacket with white buttons and accents and navy blue trousers and black shoes, she had C-Cup breasts respectfully concealed by both the shirt AND the jacket. She had long, slightly spiked dark blue hair going down to her back.
"So...YOU'RE Zana." Jaden spoke calmly and looked into Zana's eyes.
"Yes. We DID meet in the boat." Zana nodded and reminded
"I remember...You didn't smile THEN either." Jaden answered
"I don't smile." Was her simple reply
"I guess jokes are wasted on you." Jaden attempted to make her laugh
Syrus gulped at that, but still kept his eyes on his older sister.
"Why are you here Syrus?" Zana asked
"I-I-I-I'm here...I'm here because-" Syrus shuddered
"You don't belong here." Zana answered with a serious glare.
"Sorry, we didn't know this was the Obelisk side of the scho..." Jaden started but was interrupted
"I mean he does not belong in this school." Zana said, her eyes narrowing
"WHAT?!" Jaden snapped
"Why are you here Syrus?" She repeated
"I-I..." Syrus shook and then ran off in fear and started tearing up
"Syrus! You...Bah. Syrus!" Jaden called out, turned to Zana and shrugged her off to chase after his friend
"You're wasting your time!" Zana yelled, making Jaden stop and turn to her in confusion
""Wasting my time"? How am I "wasting my time"?" Jaden asked
"Syrus is not a duellist. He is not a person who should be involved with duel monsters. It's better if he drops out and study with other subjects." Zana frowned "He is wasting his time on a pursuit that he will not succeed him. If you consider yourself his friend you should be encouraging him to do something that suits him."
"...You're his SISTER! You're supposed to encourage him!" Jaden snapped
"Syrus has to leave." She frowned
"Do you even KNOW what he wants?" Jaden asked
"Doesn't matter what he wants." Zana frowned "But he's wasting his time."
'Ooh...! This is one MEGA bitch!' Cleo groaned and stared at her
'Cleo!' Mana and Berenice gasped
'Well she is!' Cleo answered
'But... You never swear Miss Princess Prim and Proper!' Mana blinked
'I don't. But SHE is becoming THE exception.' Cleo answered
"If you want what's best for Syrus, do so. But you're helping a lost cause." Zana answered "The sooner he realises it, the sooner he'll be put out of ALL our miseries."
Jaden snapped and stormed away
Zana didn't respond she felt like she won that one. 'You'll see Jaden; you'll know I'm right.'
*time skip*
"Syrus? SYRUS!" Jaden called out to try and find him
Jaden found Syrus hidden behind a tree, crying a bit
"Syrus..." Jaden sighed in relief. "Syrus, you okay?"
"H... Hey Jaden." Syrus cried gently
"Mind if I sit here?" Jaden asked kindly
"If you want."
As Jaden sat next to Syrus, the blue haired Slifer Red student was sniffing lightly.
"So...I talked to Zana." Jaden frowned. "She said some harsh things."
"That's all she says."
Jaden frowned "Well...Forget her. Forget her words."
"Not that easy."
"Well...We'll prove her wrong." Jaden smiled
"... Huh?"
"YOU want to be a great duellist, your sister doesn't think so...Prove her wrong. Get better at duelling." Jaden answered "Figure a way how to work your deck and strategies."
"... There's no point." Syrus sighed in defeat
"Don't say that Sy. There's ALWAYS a point. You wanted to come here, it was your choice." Jaden answered
Syrus just nodded, not saying anything at all
"Prove her wrong. Show EVERYONE that you can do it." Jaden continued
"Yea, whatever." Syrus muttered making Jaden sigh as he realised HOW MUCH his confidence had been beaten down by Zana
'What can we do, Jaden?' Mana asked kindly
'We help him. Slowly.' Cleo nodded sagely
*Time skip, first day of classes*
They were currently in Professor Crowler's lesson; he was giving a lecture on different variations of Spell and Trap cards.
"Now to recap." Crowler said "Ms Rhodes, can you name the different type of spell cards please?"
"Spell cards are separated into: Normal Spells, Quick-Play Spells, Continuous Spells, Equip Spells, Field Spells and Ritual Spells. Most Spell cards can only be activated on their user's turn, but Quick-Play Spells can be activated on their user's turn and the opponent's turn." Alexis stood up and gave her answer
"Very good! As expected from one of my Obelisk's!" Crowler called, clapping happily. He then looked through the crowed with an evil grin "TRUESDALE!" He yelled
Syrus stood up in fear and was shaking in place when he heard his name. "Y-Yes?"
"Can you tell the class what, previously, a field spell does?" Crowler smirked
"F-Field Spells?" Syrus gulped as he wracked his brain on trying to remember what Field Spells did. "I... Field Spells are...member... there when you... Err..."
"Sit down before you embarrass yourself anymore Slacker." Crowler smirked, most of Obelisk and Ra laughing
"Hmm...I blew it..." Syrus slumped into his seat in shame.
"You know Teach, you really shouldn't be making fun of us Slifers. I mean I'M a Slifer and I beat ya. So when you're making fun of us you're making fun of yourself." Jaden answered
And now everyone was laughing at Crowler
Crowler got out a handkerchief and began pulling it with his teeth in anger. "YOU...!" He seethed in anger 'I'll get you Yuki! I've had enough of you, you Drop-Out boy!' Crowler thought in rage
'Nicely done Jaden.' Alexis thought proudly
After Crowler's class and the mini break between lessons, Syrus and Jaden were outside stretching their legs. "Hey, Jay...Thanks for backing me up back there."
"It's fine bro." Jaden smiled
Syrus smiled back; and with the lack of being put in the spotlight he remembered the effects of a Field Spell card and even the other cards.
He could not handle the pressure.
Meanwhile Crowler was in this office, writing away
'This'll show that Slifer Slacker. I'll get him expelled!' He thought.
He smirked, folding up the paper and sealing it up before he pulled out... Purple... Lipstick...
He kissed the seal on the back of the letter. "Hmwah! The final kisser!" He smiled evilly and wiped the lipstick off.
...
*With the writers*
"... WHY show makers?! WHY?!" Grey yelled
"I...I NEVER, got that myself. The closest thing I KNOW to this is Bugs Bunny and THAT was done in a comedic light." Ghost added in disbelief.
"This is... Just disturbing." Luna shuddered
"Nice shade of lipstick though." Catherine commented "And before you look at me funny, I DO find that whole scene unsettling."
"... Yea, it IS a good shade." Luna nodded
*Back to the story*
"Now, where is that Slacker's locker?" He thought to himself.
Crowler was walking around the boys locker room, letter in hand
He started to open lockers until he found Jaden's shoes. 'Got you.' He smiled
He grinned and put the letter there before running off
Not long after Crowler left, Syrus came back since he was in the middle of P.E. as he forgotten something
"Damn it, I can't believe I forgot my kit! I can't believe he had PE!" he told himself, running to the locker where Crowler deposited the letter
"Here we go...Guess Jaden's borrowing my locker; huh? What's this?" Syrus wondered as he saw the letter next to the shoes. As he opened the letter he began to read it. "GAH! I-It's a love letter!" He blushed
"I've loved you since I first met you." He read
Syrus blushed and gained a smile as he continued to read.
"I've been looking at you from afar and I felt a connection." He continued
"Meet me at the Girls Dorm tonight at midnight. Your love... Alexis?!"
And in Syrus' mind he imagined Alexis looking at him with hearts in her eyes and a blush on her cheeks, talking to him. Steam covered his glasses and came out of his ears from a fluster.
"I will be coming my angel!" He cheered
*Time Skip*
Alexis sighed as she relaxed in a bit spring with some friends
"Can you believe that Slifer guy? Putting Crowler below him." One of Alexis' friends asked
This was a woman called Jasmine, a red head with crazy wild hair with brown eyes. She had the same sort of body-shape as Alexis but a smaller bust
"Well, Crowler's always picking on Slifers...Maybe it was supposed to be a bitter pill for him to take or something." Mindy, Alexis' second friend answered. She had dark grey hair that was in a ponytail and spread out at the bottom, she had the same sort of body-shape as Alexis as well, but she was more like Jasmine.
"Please. He's just an arrogant jerk. What do you think Alexis?" Jasmine frowned, Alexis not paying attention as she was lost in her thoughts
"Hmm..." Alexis sighed as she was just soaking up the warm water.
"Yoo-hoo, Earth to Alexis." Jasmine spoke
But, again, Alexis wasn't paying attention. Her eyes, her mind was somewhere else. Something about Jaden... Was familiar
It was like he mentioned before...If SHE was familiar to HIM...Could the reverse be possible?
He was like... Some long lost friend. But... Somehow he's off
"Hmm...Why can't I place it?" She mumbled, rubbing her eyes gently
"Alexis!" Jasmine snapped
"Hmm, what? What're we talking about?" Alexis asked distantly
"That Slacker who attacked Crowler today." Jasmine frowned
"He hardly attacked him. Jaden just gave a comment that just happened to be true." Alexis sighed
"Well he's in Slifer he has no right to say anything." Jasmine huffed
"I talked to him on the boat coming over." Alexis commented
"Why did you do that?!" Jasmine asked
"He scored a near perfect on his marks. But he CHOSE to go in Slifer." Alexis responded
"Then he chose to be a loser!" Jasmine snapped
"Maybe...Or maybe he just doesn't care about this whole "rating system"." Alexis answered
Outside the girls dorm Crowler was waiting in a wetsuit, a water proof camera ready as he flouted in the water
"Hee-hee-hee! This'll be perfect: Jaden comes to the girl's dorm, I snap the picture, HE gets expelled for TWO counts of breaking the rules and I'll continue to be respected." Crowler smiled and chuckled to himself.
"Alexis..." A voice called out
"Here he comes!" Crowler smiled getting ready.
Before his eyes widened "Wait... THAT'S NOT JADEN!"
"Alexis..." Syrus emerged from the darkness. "I'm here my love." He called out.
*back in the hot spring*
"Huh? Did you hear that?" Mindy asked the two
"It's a boy!" Jasmine gasped
"A boy? HERE?!" Alexis snapped
The three quickly got out of the hot spring, wrapping towels around themselves
"Inside, now." Alexis spoke
"Duh." Mindy and Jasmine answered
"Alexis? Oh...Alexis, I'm here." Syrus' voice became clearer. "I-I'm sorry if I'm late."
"Syrus?" Alexis blinked... After Jasmine and Mindy got dressed they found Syrus tied up
"GAH! N-No, wait! I-I don't understand! What's going on?" Syrus asked in shock as he was tied up.
"Why is a Slifer here?" Jasmine frowned, the girls in their uniforms again
"I-I was invited here." Syrus explained
"Liar. Slifers aren't "invited" here." Mindy responded
"I-It's the truth. Just ask Alexis." Syrus answered
"I don't know what you're about." Alexis states simply
"Wh-What? No I...I got your letter. It's in my pocket." Syrus answered trying to get the letter from his pocket. "You wrote it to me and told me to come here."
Alexis took the letter with a frown and read it, frowning even harder as she read it "Syrus... This isn't from me. It's fake. Look, my name is spelt wrong." She said, showing the letter to Syrus
"W... What?!" Syrus gasped
"Wait... This letter is addressed to Jaden Yuki!" Mindy said, noticing the letter
"Wait... What?! You mean I can't even get a FAKE love letter?!" Syrus groaned, his heart being broken
"Oh Syrus." Alexis sighed sadly, in pity
"Well, duh." Jasmine rolled her eyes "I mean Alexis is hot, you're not. She's good at duelling, you're not. She's tall and you're a shortcake..."
"I get it." Syrus mumbled
"Syrus, I'm sorry. But do you know who put this there?" Alexis asked kindly
"No...It was there when I was in P.E. ...What's it matter...?" Syrus spoke in self-defeat.
"... Girls, I've got an idea." Alexis sighed and smiled
*With Jaden*
"Man, Syrus was chipper all day...Maybe he caught a break or something." Jaden thought as he got out of the shower and headed back to his dorm room.
But as he walked towards his room his PDA went off
"Huh? Who's sending me an E-Mail this time of night?" Jaden whispered to himself and opened it.
It was a message, Alexis' face appearing on the screen with the pre-recorded message
"Alexis? I wonder what she wants." Jaden played the message.
"Jaden, we've got Syrus over here. If you want him back without trouble, come to the girl's dorm, now." Alexis spoke "And bring your Disk."
"Oh Syrus..." Jaden frowned "Well... I know what I'm doing now."
*Time skip*
The girls still had Syrus in their ropes; Syrus looked more down than he did previously. Jasmine and Mindy eased up on the Slifer insults on Alexis' request, along with the fact Syrus looked like he just wanted to crawl into a hole.
Well Mindy never really insulted Slifers
"I'm here." Jaden called, walking over
"Good, I'm glad you got my message." Alexis smiled
"You okay, Syrus?" Jaden called to his friend
Syrus didn't answer and just looked at his feet.
"He was given this." Alexis said, passing the letter
Jaden examined the letter and the envelope...He felt disheartened at the fact this letter was addressed to him, but he felt worse since Syrus was manipulated by this. "Who'd do this?" Jaden shook his head. "Cause this isn't funny."
"It was none of us. We were surprised just as much as you or Syrus." Alexis explained
Jaden frowned. His mind just went to one person who could have done this, who'd have a reason to get Syrus kicked out. Zana.
"Well Jaden, it looks like you're BOTH trespassing now." Alexis suddenly said, breaking Jaden from his thoughts
"Huh? What're you talking about?" Jaden asked
"You're both boys, trespassing on the Girl's Dorm property." Alexis answered
"So if you don't want to get expelled..." Alexis smiled, suddenly pulling out her DuelDisk and inserting her deck
"Deal." Jaden nodded, doing the same with his own DuelDisk.
"Hang on, we aren't doing this here." Alexis grinned "We're going on the lake."
"A duel on water? Well...Okay." Jaden questioned it, but accepted the challenge. "Sounds fun actually." He chuckled
*Time skip*
"Ready Jaden?" Alexis asked as she was standing steady in her boat.
"Ready!" He called back "You okay, Sy?"
"I'M FINE!" He yelled lightly
"Duel." Jaden and Alexis spoke at the same time
Jaden – 4000
Alexis – 4000
"I'll start!" Alexis called, drawing "I summon Etoile Cyber in Attack Mode and play a facedown. Your turn."
Etoile Cyber
EARTH
Level 4
1200 ATK/ 1600 DEF
"Huh, simple." Jaden nodded, drawing and looking at the card cautiously "I summon Sparkman in Attack Mode!"
Elemental Hero Sparkman
LIGHT
Level 4
1600 ATK/ 1400 DEF
"Sparkman, attack Etoile Cyber!" Jaden called "Static Shockwave!"
"HA!" Sparkman roared, shooting a massive electric blast from his hands
"Trap card open: Double Passé! I redirect your attack into a direct attack!" Alexis called, screaming as the electricity redirected at her, shocking her lightly
Alexis: 4000 - 2400
"W... Why would you do that?!" Jaden gasped
"Because my monster can then attack directly as well." Alexis smiled "And Etoile Cybee gains 500 ATK during the damage step! Go, get Jaden directly!"
Elite Cyber: 1200 ATK - 1700 ATK
Jaden: 4000 - 2300
"Impressed yet?" She smiled
"Like it? I'm in love!" Jaden joked, playing a facedown
Alexis blushed at that before smiling "You're cute... Too bad I have to crush you." Alexis smirked, drawing "I know you love fusion so how about you taste my version? Because I use Polymerization confuse the Etoile Cyber on my side of the field with the Blade Skater in my hand to fusion summon the Cyber Blader!" A red and silver clad cybernetic ice skater appeared, dancing
Cyber Blader
EARTH
Level 7
2100 ATK/ 800 DEF
"Now go, attack and destroy Sparkman!" Alexis called, holding her arm forward
Jaden flinched as his monster was destroyed, his life points dropping a bit
Jaden: 2300 - 1800
"Go! I activate my facedown, Hero Signal! I special summon Elemental Hero Bubbleman from my deck in defence mode!" Jaden called, slamming the card onto his duel disk
Elemental Hero Bubbleman
WATER
Level 4
800 ATK/ 1200 DEF
"And when he is the only card on my field I draw two cards." Jaden address taking two cards from his deck "... Hey pal." Jaden smiled as he saw he drew Winged Kuriboh
"Okay then. I guess I'll end my turn then." Alexis shrugged with a smile
"I'll play a facedown and play double summon. I now summon both Winged Kuriboh and Clayman in Defence Mode!" Jaden called, putting the cards down
Elemental Hero Clayman
EARTH
Level 4
800 ATK/ 2000 DEF
Winged Kuriboh
LIGHT
Level 1
300 ATK/ 200 DEF
"My Cyber Blader's effect now activates." Alexis called "But her effect changes depending on how many monsters you control. One means she can't be destroyed by battle. Two doubles her ATK. And three means I can negate your card effects."
"Well it's your turn now." Jaden smiled while Alexis drew "You're honestly amazing Alexis."
"Thanks." She nodded, drawing a other card "Cyber Blader, attack Winged Kuriboh!"
"I activate Negate Attack!" Jaden countered
"And Cyber Blader negates that trap." Alexis reminded, Winged Kuriboh screaming as he was destroyed "Your turn. And need I remind you that with only two monsters on your field Cyber Blade's attack is doubled."
Cyber Blader: 2100 ATK - 4200 ATK
"This'll be tough." Jaden nodded, drawing and smirking "Yes! Just what I need!"
"... Crap." Alexis chuckled "Bring it."
"I play the Warrior Returning Alive to bring Sparkman back to my hand." Jaden smiled, inserting the card and taking Sparkman from the grave "Next I play Dark Fusion to fuse Bubbleman, Sparkman and Avian together!"
"Well Cyber Blader will still have 4200 Attack points!" Alexis smiled
"I'll introduce you to this guy then! Come forth: Evil Hero Shadow Hurricane!" Jaden called, slamming a new fusion card onto the field
Evil Hero Shadow Hurricane
WIND
Level 8
2800 ATK/ 2800 DEF
Shadow Hurricane had large dark blue feathered wings with green edges, a motorbike helmet with two claw-like fins on either side of the helmet. His body armour looked like a ragged windswept motorbike jacket and scarf; his trousers were heavily armoured by the shins and the feet like talons. His right arm was replaced with some form of bionic vacuum gun with three cables connecting it to his upper forearm.
"I now activate his special effect!" Jaden smiled "I sacrifice a card on my side of the field and it gains an effect depending on the card! I tribute Clayman, a normal monster, meaning Shadow Hurricane gains Clayman's DEF onto its ATK, since Clayman's defence is the highest!"
Shadow Hurricane put his normal hand onto Clayman's shoulder. Clayman nodded, as if in understanding, while Shadow Hurricane nodded sadly. The fusion monster then placed his palm flat against Clayman's back, Clayman shattering into light "Huya!" Shadow Hurricane called, Clayman being absorbed into himself
Shadow Hurricane: 2800 ATK - 4800 ATK
"And with just one monster on Jaden's field Cyber Blader's attack returns to normal!" Syrus gasped
Cyber Blader: 4200 ATK - 2100 ATK
"Now, Shadow Hurricane, attack Cyber Blader!" Jaden called dramatically, the vacuum gun's barrel glowing brightly
"But since you only have one monster on the field it means Cyber Blader can't be destroyed by battle!" Alexis countered with a smirk
"You're right about that." Jaden smiled, laughing "But there's one problem... It doesn't stop you from taking battle damage."
"Crap!" Alexis gasped as she realised he was right
"Go, Shadow Hurricane! Eye Of The Strom!" Jaden called
"TOH!" Shadow Hurricane roared, launching his blast. A massive purple energy blast does through the air, hitting Cyber Blader making her scream and explode
"No! Alexis!" Jasmine gasped as smoke and water danced around Alexis
Alexis was silent... And just smirked
Alexis: 2400 - 1050
"Huh? How did she survive that attack?" Syrus gasped
"You used a trap card didn't you?" Jaden smiled at Alexis.
"No, my field's empty." She shook her head, raising an arm showing an effect monster in her hand "I used Cyber Trainer. I discard her and I take half damage this turn."
"Nice move." Jaden praised her and his disk documented the move.
"Well I guess I'll just end my turn with a face down." Jaden nodded "You know Alexis, you're the toughest opponent I've faced in a while. You might even make Yugi sweat lightly."
"Wait, you've TRAINED with Yugi Muto?" Alexis asked in shock
"... He's my adopted dad." Jaden reminded with a deadpan
"Oh right..." She sweatdropped in embarrassment.
"Well, my turn... Draw!" She called, drawing quickly as she saw the card she smiled "Time for MY turn around. I play Fusion Recovery, returning Blade Skater and Polymerisation to my hand... And now I'm going to use my Polymerisation once more!"
"Again?" Mindy asked
"Can't wait." Jaden grinned
"As you should be! I fuse the Cyber Blader on my field with the Cyber Prima in my hand!" Alexis called, showing a card as the monster depicted on the card appeared. A beautiful gymnast/dancer dressed in silver and blue. The new monster and Cyber Blader both jumped into the sky, a vortex sucking them in and merging "Come forth: Prima Cyber Blader!"
Prima Cyber Blader had long silvery hair and a similar mask to Cyber Blader, she was wearing a swirling blue and grey leotard design with a flowing swan wing sleeves, her blades were like clear ice and her tutu was down to her lower leg.
Prima Cyber Blader
LIGHT
Level 9
3300 ATK/ 2800 DEF
"Alexis' strongest monster!" Jasmine gasped
"So this is your A-Game?" Jaden grinned "I wanna see what this can do! Come on, what's it effect?"
"Oh, wouldn't you like to know? But first I'll take out that "Shadow Hurricane" of yours." Alexis answered
"Prima Cyber Blader, attack the Evil Hero Shadow Hurricane with Hyper Hero Blade!"
"Haa...HYA!" She skated over the water gracefully like a swan and sliced Shadow Hurricane in half.
Jaden flinched as his monster exploded, his life points dropping
Jaden: 1800 – 1300
"And whenever my Prima Cyber Blader destroys a monster in battle, my opponent loses 1000 life-points." Alexis answered
"GAH!" Jaden yelled as he was kicked in the gut by the monster, his life points dropping
Jaden: 1300 - 300
"When Prima Cyber Blader deals effect damage she is switched to defence mode." Alexis continued, shifting the card into defence mode "And after you must discard one card from your hand."
A card in Jaden's hand flowed and disappeared at random, going to his graveyard ... Leaving him handless
Jaden flinched, his good eyes flashing every few seconds as he held himself... And found the world shifting... Fading... Altering.
Ancient castle architecture appeared around them, the cloths he and Alexis wore changed and people appeared and disappeared. It took Jaden a second but he soon realised he was seeing a memory from his last life
'Alexis...And I...We DID know each other from before.' He thought
He soon felt like he WAS in this time, the memory 'playing' around him
"Haou! My king!" Alexis' ancestor yelled, running over and hugging him while helping him stand up "I am sorry, I did not mean to hurt you!"
"It's okay. I'm tougher than I look." "Haou" spoke with a smile and dusted himself off
"I'm so sorry." The woman frowned, kissing his cheek while Jaden took a look at her
"I...Ah-ah-ah..." Haou blushed happily from that
Alexis' ancestor was dressed in a fancy, beautiful, dress that looked roughly Victorian or so
Haou, Jaden's ancestor, was dressed in a royal blue tunic and black trousers with a red cape. He looked almost medieval in design.
"I am your future Queen; I should have not hurt you." The ancient Alexis sighed
"Hey...My future Queen can do whatever she wants. It was an accident that you bumped into me." He held her hand and cupped her face gently.
"While performing for you." She nodded, meaning she was a dancer
"And I enjoyed every second...Except when I fell to the ground. That bit hurt." He teased, trying to make her laugh.
The woman did laugh, kissing him
"Jaden!" A voice snapped, the world fading... Revealing he was back at the duel "You okay there?" Alexis, the source of the voice asked
"Yea Lex, real sorry." Jaden laughed with a smile
"Well... If you're sure, it's your turn." Alexis called
"There is no way that Slacker will win." Jasmine smirked
"I hate to say it... But you're right there Jazz." Mindy sighed
"Jaden's doomed... He's gonna be kicked out... And it's all my fault." Syrus cried
"Syrus! Stop that!" Jaden suddenly snapped, shocking Syrus
"W... What...?" Syrus gasped
"First off, this isn't your fault." Jaden smiled "Second, who said I was gonna loose?"
"Err... Everyone can see you're gonna loose Slacker." Jasmine deadpanned "You have no monsters, your hands empty, you have one face down: which is clearly nothing since you didn't use it to block Alexis' attack and you might be winning by a few life points but Alexis is gonna end this next turn."
"I have to say this Jaden, but Jasmine is right. I can't see how you'll get around this." Alexis pointed out
"And that's the fun if duelling. You don't know the outcome until the last card is played, the last life point gone. And I still have one draw left." Jaden grinned "And when you believe in your deck, you love it, one draw can be all you need." Jaden smiled, looking at his deck "My cards and I have gone through so much together. It's why I know, win or lose, it'll never let me down. That's why this isn't your fault Syrus. If Alexis beats me it means her bond with her deck is stronger than mine. Which'll be impressive considering me and my deck."
"Jaden..." Syrus muttered
"That... That's beautiful." Mindy cried lightly
"Whatever." Jasmine frowned, crossing her arms over her chest
"How about you have this last draw Jaden?" Alexis smiled
"Fine." Jaden smiled, lightly taking hold of the top card of his deck "My turn... DRAW!" He called, drawing dramatically. You could almost see golden light sparkle off the card. After a second a small 'shockwave' seemed to radiate off Jaden before he looked at his card "Perfect! Here we go! I summon the hero of space! Help me out, Elemental Hero Neos!" Jaden slammed a normal monster into the field, light shinning as it took form
Elemental Hero Neos
LIGHT
Level 7
2500 ATK/ 2000 DEF
"B... But that's level 7!" Alexis gasped
"Well I have you to thank for that Alexis." Jaden smiled "You see last turn, when you had me discard the last card in my hand?"
"It... Had a special ability didn't it?" The First Year Obelisk Queen said, her eyes widening
"When Elemental Hero Nechroshade I can, once, normal summon a Level 5 or higher Elemental Hero without a sacrifice." Jaden nodded "And now I activate my face down! Go, Dark Calling! With this I take monsters from my field and graveyard and remove them from play to fusion summon, which counts as Dark Fusion."
"Field... And graveyard?!" Alexis gasped 'It he hadn't bad Nechroshade in his hand last turn he would have lost.' she thought in realisation, somehow knowing this was the end
"I remove from play the Elemental Hero Neos on my field with the Evil Hero Shadow Hurricane from my graveyard!" Jaden called, taking the cards and pocketing them
Everyone gasped at that, Alexis nearly taking a step back before she remembered she was in a boat
"You have done YOUR Double Fusion. Well here's, as you said, my take." Jaden smirked, quoting her. He then closed his eyes, darkness spinning around him "You are amazing Alexis. I didn't think I'd ever need to summon this monster this year. Next year, maybe, but not now. I am honestly glad there is someone here who can challenge me so much. We will be duelling again."
"If you win, count on it." Alexis smiled, feeling confident while her heart pounded and her heart began to beat faster
"I'm about to." Jaden nodded, reaching for his extra deck... And he began to chant "Hero of space: return to Earth and see the depths of evil. Embrace what needs to be done, join your comrades and bring forth a new power! Become the dark Hero that illuminates the just!" Jaden pulled the card out and held it high, the card glowing "Double Fusion! Awaken: Evil Hero Vengeance Neos!" He then slammed the card on his duel disk, opening his eyes revealing the massive pools of gold where glowing with power
A massive pillar of darkness burst from the ground, the stats appearing while the monster was still obscured
Evil Hero Vengeance Neos
LIGHT
Level 10
2500 ATK/ 3000 DEF
The darkness then exploded, revealing a new monster. The monster looked very similar to Neos but with a black body. He also had long, bladed black wings that were like those of Cyber End Dragon only organic... And on fire...The orb in his chest was a dark purple. Spiky black and gold armour was now attached to Neos' shoulders, upper arms, chest and feet with the armour looking similar to the Supreme King's, only less regal more like one of his knights. Neos had a near insanely long red cape with deep red lines over his body. A near infinitely long chain was wrapped around Neos' arms and form, the chain being a full grey... And also on fire. His head had his normal yellow eyes but his head fin looked similar in shape to the Supreme King's helmet... And once again, his head was on fire.
Alexis' eyes widened and saw the powerful creature on Jaden's field; though it was weaker...It MUST have had a powerful ability
"Now I know it's attack points aren't all that high right now but it DOES have an ability!" Jaden called "He gains the defence points of the fusion monster used as fusion material as attack points!"
"Shadow Hurricane had 2800 defence points!" Jasmine gasped
"Which means...!" Syrus grinned
Vengeance Neos: 2500 ATK - 5300 ATK
"Five thousand three hundred?!" Alexis gasped
"Yep." Jaden nodded
"... Good thing Prima Cyber Blader is in defence, so I take no battle damage." Alexis smiled after a calming sigh
"Sorry, but that's wrong. Because Neos has a special ability! I remove from play one fusion monster in my extra deck and he gains that special ability! I remove from play my Evil Hero Inferno Wing." Jaden smiled, showing the card
"Inferno Wing, that means when you destroy my Prima Cyber Blader-!" Alexis gasped
"You take damage. GO, Vengeance Neos! NEMESIS CHAIN!" Jaden called out.
Neos spun around his chain making a grand circle of fire above his head and then wrapped around Prima Cyber Blader's body and tightened around her before destroying her.
Alexis - 1050 - 0
Alexis had lost the match. But she had a smile on her face...She had fought a strong opponent. And gave him a run for his money in the process.
He was the strongest opponent she had ever faced... And she nearly won. More than that, she forced him to call out one of his strongest monsters and pushed him into a near no-win situation. It was, possibly, the best duel she had ever had. So she stood there, head held high with hwr eyes closed and a smile on her face as her monster was destroyed and flames roared around her. She was happy as her life points rapidly fell. She began to laugh lightly as the alarm signifying she had lost rang out.
She had so much fun.
"And that's game Lex." Jaden grinned
"Yes Jaden. It was." She nodded happily
*Time skip*
Syrus sighed as the ropes where relaxed from around his body, falling to the floor with a 'thump'. Jaden and Alexis where back in the shore, Alexis having forced Jasmine to hold up their end if the deal
"Thanks..." Syrus got up slowly and rubbed his arms to get the circulation back.
"Sorry about the ropes, Syrus." Alexis apologised.
"It's fine." He nodded
"That was a great duel, Lex." Jaden smiled, holding out his hand for a handshake
"Same. But I'm winning next time." Alexis smiled jokingly, shaking his hand
"We'll see." Jaden smiled, shocking Alexis as right after he shook her hand he then raised it and kissed the back of it
Alexis gasped as the world seemed to 'explode' around her, finding herself in an amazing castle. She was wearing the fanciest light blue ankle length dress she had ever seen. A crowed of mediaeval looking people filling the room. They were all facing one way, the crowed all behind her looking the same direction she was... Besides one person.
It was Jaden dressed in purple, black and gold royal robes sitting on a throne. He looked bored, facing the crowed... Until Alexis looked forward, which got his attention
"Prince Judai, I present to you my daughter: Princess Asuka Tenjoi." A man who looked just like her father bowed
"Your grace." Alexis bowed, in this 'Asuka's body
"Please. Call me Haou." The Jaden look alike smiled as he walked over and kissed the back of her hand
Alexis blinked, suddenly finding herself in modern day seconds after Jaden kissed her hand
Jasmine, Syrus and Mindy were shocked; seeing Jaden kiss Alexis' hand like royalty. "Bye Alexis." He smiled
"I... Bye." She blinked with a small blush, Jaden and Syrus walking away
"Later Obelisk Queen!" Jaden called seconds later, laughing showing the name was a friendly mocking tease, before he took off running
"... He sure makes things interesting." Alexis whispered with a smile
'I don't believe it, is Alexis actually falling for that Slifer?!' Jasmine thought in shock
"You know, that Syrus guy is cute." Mindy hummed
"What's with all that noise?!" Jazz snapped, walking out in a fancy blue dressing gown with a glare making the three girls laugh
*Time skip*
Jaden lay awake in his bed, his roommates asleep. It was at that moment his whispered "Yubel. Come out here."
That was when a figure materialised before him. It was Yubel, Jaden's oldest Duel Spirit and his protector. "Yes, Jaden?" She asked kindly with a smile
"What was that?" Jaden frowned seriously
"What was what?" Yubel asked
"That vision, I saw myself...And Alexis. Only...We went by different names. In a different life." Jaden explained "You know what I'm talking about. You know I knew Alexis when I was the Supreme King all those years ago."
"Yes...Yes I did." Yubel sighed and nodded
"Well, why didn't you say anything? Why keep quiet about it?" Jaden asked
"I... Did not know that she was reincarnated as well. I did not see any reason to mention her when you don't remember her and you will never meet her." Yubel said sadly
"Oh...Yeah...I guess that makes sense..." Jaden responded with a frowned and stared at the ceiling. "What...What was it like? What were WE like?"
"... Many considered Haou and Asuka to be soul mates. Their own flaws diminished by the strengths of the other. Asuka was a princess of a neighbouring Kingdom, presented to Haou on his sixteenth birthday to attempt to reform an alliance. Haou was amazed by her beauty but it was the spirit in her eyes that made accept. Now they did have problems, disagreements and arguments like any other couple but there was always something one did that made the other laugh, completely by accident, and this act lightened the mood and allowed them to smooth their problem out." Yubel recounted with a nod and closed eyes "They loved each other, an amazing pair... And Asuka was the first the Light of Destruction killed."
"... That thing again." Jaden sighed. The few memories of his past life he had been able to gain before now had all been about some war with something called the Light of Destruction, but he didn't know what it was
"Perhaps you've been given a second chance; to do what you couldn't before." Yubel theorised
"I'm not going to force or peruse Alexis because of Haou and Asuka. I will be Alexis' friend and of anything happens... It happens." Jaden shrugged
"I know. And who knows...Maybe you'll fall in love with her all over again." Yubel smiled and hugged him
"Maybe. If we truly ARE 'soul mates' then we will." Jaden smiled
