Hey everyone. This chapter finally features Bastion. Don't know why I forgot about him. I guess since he wasn't in much of the episodes during Season one I forgot about him. Anyway this is the match between Jaden and Bastion to see who the school's rep is for the School Dual. Please review!
"What? What do you mean Zane is declining the spot for the School Dual?" Dr. Crowler screeched.
"Zane declined it because North Academy is sending a first year and in the name of fairness, I think that we should have a first year be our rep as well." Chancellor Sheppard said.
Crowler looked at the third year Obelisk in disbelief. But he redirected his attention to Professor Banner who had spoken up.
"Excuse me, Chancellor? But do we have anybody who is to be the new representative for our school?" Banner asked in a calm tone.
It was at this time that Zane spoke up.
"Yes. We do." Zane said in an emotionless tone.
Everybody at the conference table looked at each other and then at Zane.
"Who?" They all asked in unison.
"Jaden Yuki." Zane said flatly.
Crowler's reaction to the name was explosive.
"ABLSOUTLY NOT! JADEN IS NOT TO BE OUR REPRESENTATIVE!" He shouted.
"Why not, Dr. Crowler? After all, Jaden does have the highest grades second only to Zane of all the dorms put together." Miss Fontanie said.
"And don't forget, Jaden did save a fellow Obelisk Blue from a class-S criminal." Zane pointed out.
The mention of that near disaster made everyone shiver including Crowler.
I can't have that boy that showed me up be the rep. I must have someone who has the same skills to defeat him! Crowler thought.
"I nominate Bastion Misawa!" Crowler shouted.
Everyone looked at the doctor with confusion on their faces. Zane didn't expect Crowler to choose a Ra yellow.
"Crowler, what is the meaning of this?" Sheppard asked his anger showing.
"Bastion also has the highest grades of all the students in the Ra dorm. So I believe that we should have a dual off for the position." Crowler said with a smile as he crawled across the table.
"Hmm. Zane, what do you think?" The Chancellor asked.
Zane shrugged and said, "Whatever's best."
"Alright then, a dual off it is." Sheppard said.
Obelisk Dorm
Jaden was doing his homework for Crowler when he heard a beeping noise.
What? What is that infernal racket that makes it difficult for me to think? Jaden thought angrily.
The beeping then increased rapidly and he soon located the source to be his PDA. He opened it and saw that he had a new e-mail.
To: Supreme King of Games
From: Chancellor Sheppard
Jaden, tomorrow after your last class please head for the duel arena to duel Bastion Misawa for representation of Duel Academy in the School Dual.
Jaden stared at the email for a few minutes. He then closed his PDA and turned his computer on.
Bastion Misawa. Hmmm. I better find information on him. Jaden thought.
He began to search the school database for the info he was looking for.
Ra Yellow Dorm
Bastion was writing down a formula on a scrap piece of paper when his PDA started to beep. He picked it up, opened it and read the email. Smiling to himself, he began to study videos of Jaden's duals. After an hour, he had found Jaden's strength and had determined his weak points.
Jaden, this will be the toughest duel you ever had. Now that I've finally cracked your deck code I can be better prepared than other dualists. He thought to himself.
After the thought entered his mind, he got up from his chair and began to prepare his deck. Meanwhile Jaden had found the info he was looking for and also began to prepare his deck.
Main Campus
Word raced around the campus that Jaden and Bastion were going to duke it out for the representation of Dual Academy in the School Dual. Alexis walked down the hallway wondering if the rumors were true. She then spotted Zane standing at the main entrance, waiting for something or someone. Alexis walked over to him and stood next to him.
"Zane, did you know that…" Alexis began but she then stopped as she got her thinking cap on.
Zane was suppose to be the rep for Dual Academy so how did Jaden… she thought when the truth hit her.
"Zane?" Alexis asked.
"Hm? Oh, hey Lex. Didn't see you there. I'm sorry, I was thinking about something." Zane said in embarrassment.
"Zane, did you recommend Jaden for the School Dual?" Alexis asked her eyes shining.
Zane looked at her and then he nodded. Alexis was overjoyed that the boy she now had a crush on would be in the school dual. That is, if he could beat Bastion.
"Do you know when the battle is supposed to take place?" Alexis asked.
"Yes. It takes place right after classes tomorrow." Zane replied.
"Oh, alright. I guess I'll see you later then." Alexis said.
Zane watched her walk down the hallway, noting that she was humming 'here comes the bride' to herself. Zane cocked his head to the side wondering what was going on with Alexis. Her friends told him about her eyes becoming an orange and teal color when she accused them of trying to set her up with Harrington and she always blushed whenever Jaden's name was mentioned or whenever he was around. Zane then smiled to himself as he realized what was going on.
So Alexis has a crush on Jaden. Well, after that display of power last night I don't think any girl would be able to resist him if they had seen him. Zane thought with a chuckle.
Zane then headed down the hall heading for his next class.
Fast-forward to the Next Day
"Jaden Yuki, you can leave early to prepare for your duel. Good luck." Professor Banner said.
Jaden grunted out a reply, "I do not believe luck."
Banner then chuckled and then said, "Neither do I. But I think you'll need it."
Jaden shot a look at his teacher from underneath his faceplate. He then turned and headed out the door.
25 minutes later
"Students, put down your pencils and please line up. It is time for the dual between Bastion and Jaden." Professor Banner said.
Alexis put her pencil down and stood up. She then walked down to the arena along with Mindy and Jasmine. When she entered she saw that the stands were packed with students from all the dorms. She heard them all chattering about who would win.
"Bastion will beat Jaden! He's the best of us Ra's." a boy in a yellow blazer said.
"No way Underclass! Jaden is king of the blue dorm! No one has beaten him yet!" A boy in a blue blazer shouted.
"Well, he hasn't dueled Zane yet so technically he isn't the king of blue." A boy in a red blazer pointed out.
That made both the Ra and Obelisk look at the Slifer. Then they looked at each other with a look on their face.
"You know, Trey here has a point." The Ra said uncertainly.
"Yeah, you're right. Sorry, Boris." The blue said rubbing his neck.
All three then walked up to the highest level of the stands while Alexis sat in the front row very near the arena and next to the entrance where Jaden was going to walk out of. She saw Crowler standing up with a microphone in his hand.
"AHEM! Students, May you all give a cheer for the top dualist and child genius of Ra Yellow…BASTION MISAWA!" Crowler shouted into mike.
All the yellow students started to stomp their feet and chant, 'Misawa, Misawa' over and over again. When Bastion emerged from the arena entrance, the crowd of Ra's went berserk. Several boys in yellow blazers pumped their fists in the air and some Obelisk Blue girls shouted his name. Alexis shook her head and sighed.
Jeez, these guys are acting like total idiots. Alexis said in her mind.
I agree. But if you think this is crazy now, just wait until your fiancé comes out. Yubel said with a laugh.
Alexis couldn't come up with a comeback so instead she listened intensely as Crowler raised his mike again.
"And from the Obelisk Blue Boys' dorm…some kid." Crowler said flatly.
Everybody in Obelisk Blue blazers fell down to the ground anime style at the way Jaden's opening came. As Alexis and the other blues picked themselves up, several dark forms flew onto the field from the arena entrance. Everyone looked at the figures in horror and amazement as the shadows gave way to reveal their true forms. Alexis recognized Evil Hero Lightning Golem, Evil Hero Infernal Gainer, Evil Hero Brigadier, Evil Hero Wild Cyclone, and Evil Hero Inferno Wing but didn't recognize the other creatures. Evil Hero Inferno Wing then turned and shot a ball of blue fire at the entrance. When the ball of fire hit the floor, it created a wall of fire along with a small path of it leading to the center of the arena. The Evil Heroes then stood at the path and at attention except for one Evil Hero that wore straps around it body and black pants. The Hero approached the center of the arena and shoved Crowler off the stage taking the mike in the process.
"I BEG YOUR PARDON! BUT THAT'S MINE!" Crowler shrieked in a shrill voice.
The hero turned and fired some projectiles from his hands which pinned Crowler to the wall. The strange monster then turned toward the stands and spoke into the microphone.
"Sorry about that. The horrid creature that was on here a minute ago was a mistake to announce my master's introduction. AHEM! Students of the Egyptian Gods, it is my sole pleasure to introduce the Master of Disaster, the Prince of Pain, the Lord of the Twelve Dimensions…JADEN YUKI, THE SUPREME KING OF DARKNESS!" The creature roared into the mike.
When Jaden's name was said, a shadow appeared walking toward the fire slowly. When the shadow touched the fire, it spread back like it was unworthy to touch the being that now approached it. When Alexis saw Jaden, she felt her heartbeat increase and heat rush to her face. All the boys in the Blue dorm started to chant 'Yuki, Yuki' while all the girls squealed in delight at his entrance.
All the Evil Heroes including the one on stage bowed to him and started to chant, 'He is the power! He is the power! He is the power!'
The cry reached Alexis's ears and then she too started to chant.
"He is the power! He is the power! He is the power!" Alexis chanted.
"He is the power! He is the power! He is the power!" Jasmine and Mindy shrieked in unison.
Soon, the chant spread to the other Obelisk Blues and the entire room was shaking as the stomping of feet and clapping of hands reverberated throughout the school. Jaden by this time had reached the center of the arena where the creature holding the mike bowed onto one knee to him. Jaden then turned and held his hand up. Immediately the chanting and stomping stopped at the gesture. Jaden then took the mike from the Hero and lifted it up to his faceplate.
"Did you all come here to see a duel or a freak show?" Jaden asked as he gestured to Crowler.
The remark got peals of laughter from everyone. Alexis giggled at the way Crowler's face turned beet red in anger. Jaden then tossed the mike, which hit Crowler in the head and knocked him out cold, and raised his dual disk. Bastion did the same and assumed a stance like a boxer.
"Well, well, well. I finally get to meet the king of the blue dorm. From my analysis I say that you have a five to one ratio of winning." Bastion said with a clipped British accent.
"I don't like hearing my odds of winning. Despite the odds, I will fight to the end." Jaden sneered.
"Duel!"
"Get your game on!"
Bastion: 4000/Jaden: 4000
"I believe I'll start us off." Bastion said as he drew his card.
He looked at it, placed it in his hand and then chose another card.
"I summon Oxygeddon (ATK: 1800 DEF: 800) in defense mode!"
A bird-like dinosaur flew onto the field and then placed its wings around its body.
"I lay down two face-downs and end my turn."
"My turn. I draw!" Jaden roared as he drew his card.
He looked at it, placed it in his hand, and then chose another.
"I summon Elemental Hero Burstinatrix (ATK: 1200 DEF: 800) to the field in attack mode."
A woman with black hair and gray linings at the bottom of her hair appeared and assumed a fighting pose.
"I now attack with her. Go, Burstinatrix! Flare shot!"
The female hero leapt into the air and shot two streams of fire at the dinosaur. The Oxygeddon caught fire and let out shrill shriek of pain. It then was consumed by the flames.
"I activate the special ability of my Oxygeddon. If it is destroyed in battle by a fire attribute monster then both players receive eight hundred points of damage." Bastion said.
Bastion: 3200/Jaden: 3200
"I place two cards face-down and end."
"My turn. I draw." Bastion said with a smirk.
He looked at the card he just drew and played it.
"I activate Premature Burial. Now by giving up eight hundred life points I can special summon a monster to the field from my grave. I chose my Oxygeddon. Arise, my beast of the wind!"
The wind swirled as the dinosaur returned to its master's field and roared. Jaden didn't flinch as the roar vibrated throughout the entire field. Instead, he checked his equipment with little interest in the resurrected monster.
"Are you done yet? I have better things to do then watch you play your pathetic moves." Jaden asked in a bored tone.
Bastion stared at Jaden, surprised on his face. The rest of the students were also startled by Jaden's mood
"Jaden, what are you doing?" Alexis asked to herself.
It's so obvious, Alexis. Jaden is trying to psyche Bastion out. That way Bastion is unprepared for Jaden's next move. Yubel said.
Alexis's eyes widen in surprise at what Yubel was saying. Jaden was using psychological warfare to win this dual.
"I summon Hydrogeddon (ATK: 1600 DEF: 1000) to the field in attack mode!" Bastion shouted recovering from Jaden's question.
A monster that was light-brown and drab came onto the field. It let out a roar similar to Oxygeddon.
"Hydrogeddon, attack! Destroy his Burstinatrix!"
The light-brown monster spat out a stream of water at Burstinatrix. The monster was destroyed as the water cascaded onto her. Jaden didn't gasp in pain as the damage was done to him.
Bastion: 3200/Jaden: 2900
"Now would be a good time for me to mention Hydrogeddon's special ability. Whenever he destroys a monster in battle I can summon another from my deck."
A second Hydrogeddon appeared right next to the second one and roared.
"Now I'll have Oxygeddon attack you directly."
The wind dinosaur shot out a stream of wind and it hit Jaden full force. But Jaden didn't even bend down to one of his knees as his life points fell.
Bastion: 3200/Jaden: 1100
"This dual was over when I stated the odds. Now, Hydrogeddon! Attack Jaden directly and end this dual!"
Cliffe! Hey, watch it with that ax!
(Dodges various thrown weapons from angry GX fans)
Jeez, bunch of crazies. Sorry for the hanger but I'm going to update as fast I can! Please review!
