YuGiOhFreak54: "Hey, Alexis, Jaden, mind coming into my computer room? I need to talk to you guys about this chapter."
Alexis: "Sure." *walks from Fanfic to computer room with Jaden in tow*
Jaden: "Why did you have to drag us from the story?"
YuGiOhfreak54: "Hold on." *Press a random button on keyboard.*
Door slams shut with a metal door sliding over it.
Alexis: "HEY!"
YuGiOhfreak54: "Calm down. I activated the security measure due to some unwanted company." *Points to a video monitor*
Alexis and Jaden see entire GX crew leaning against door trying to listen in.
YuGiOhfreak54: "I need to keep you quiet on this one. If you don't, I'm going to have one ticked off Harrington to deal with." *Mutters to himself*: "And a ticked off Chazz too."
Jaden: "Why?"
YuGiOhfreak54: *hands them a rough copy of chapter.*
Jaden and Alexis: *look over the paper and then at each other with a blush. Then at YGOF54.*
Alexis: "Freak…"
YGOF54: *has finger poised over a button with a shield on it*
Alexis: "YOU ROCK!!!!!"
YGOF54: *sighs* "Glad you like it. Hey, you think…"
Jaden: "Of course."
Alexis: "YGOF54 doesn't own YuGiOh GX or anything related to it. Nor does he own the Evil Hero Dark Wing. That is owned by TheDarkauthor017."
Jaden: "If he did own the show, I wouldn't be the bumbling idiot that I am."
YGOF54: "I am going by that nickname now because it to hard for me to type out my full pen name. I do own the story plot and the OC Jess Hernandez."
Everyone was setting up booths and tables for tomorrow. Tomorrow was none other then the Duel Monster Spirit day. People would either do something that was their favorite monster thing to do or take their special someone on a date. No one saw a tiny ball of light darting about quivering with excitement.
"The Duel monster Spirit day is tomorrow! I can hardly wait! I wonder who I'll duel first." The ball said in a tone of an excited girl.
The small sphere of light darted back toward the forest but not before it passed by the Slifer Red dorm. The ball heard a voice that sounded really excited.
"I tell you, Jess, people are going to be coming to the Red dorm this year!" The voice said in an excited state.
Curious, the ball entered the room and saw a light blue mess of hair bobbing up and down. The boy beneath the hair had his eyes wide and sparkling with joy. If the ball had a physical body it would be glomping the boy like there was no time in the universe. A black haired boy with a Mexican accent addressed the smaller boy.
"Really, Syrus? What have you got planned?" The boy, who the ball had guessed to be Jess, asked equally excited.
"Well, I was thinking of having a costume duel tournament." Syrus said while nervously rubbing the back of his head.
Jess smiled when he heard the idea. Chumley woke up just in time to hear the idea and he liked the idea too. The ball of light zipped away from the door practically screaming with excitement.
"A costume duel! That boy Syrus is not only cute but a genius as well." The ball squealed in delight.
The ball returned to wherever it lived and anxiously waited for tomorrow to come.
Next Morning
Alexis awoke and got out of bed quickly. She ran into the shower and washed herself thoroughly. She was really nervous about the second date with Jaden but she got over it quickly. She stepped out of the shower and then headed into her room with a towel wrapped around her body. As she walked into the closet, she noticed a small brief case sitting on the floor. On the handle was a note. Alexis picked it up and opened it.
Dear Miss Rhodes,
Inside this case contains a costume for the upcoming costume duel tournament. The costume matches your arm perfectly. If you chose not to believe me, then believe this. Mindy is going to come running in screaming about the costume duel and ask you if you can be one of the Harpy Ladies.
Sincerely your friend,
YGOF54.
When Alexis finished reading the note, Mindy burst in panting heavily.
"Mindy! What are you doing here?!?!?! Can't you see that I need privacy!?!?!?!" Alexis yelled at the top of her lungs.
"Sorry, Alexis. But it's important that I tell you something. Well, ask you something actually." Mindy said after she caught her breath.
Alexis stared wide eyed at Mindy as the blackette told her about the costume duel tournament and asked her to one of the Harpy Ladies with her and Jasmine.
The note! It came true! Wait, the costume matches the arm…it must be a costume of Yubel! But what purpose could it have? Alexis thought to herself.
"Helloooo? Alexis? Anybody in there?" Mindy asked as she waved her hand in front of Alexis's face.
"Hm? Oh, sorry for spacing out like that, Mindy. I'm going to have to take a rain check for today. I already have a costume." Alexis said with a sad smile.
Mindy looked at the ground disappointed but then made a beaming face.
"Actually, I think me and Jasmine would be better as Gemini Elf. See you later!" Mindy said as she raced out of the room.
Alexis smiled at her friend's ability to improvise at things. Alexis then headed into her closet to try the costume on. She came out looking exactly like Yubel even though she was a foot shorter then the spirit. Alexis looked in the mirror and then saw another note.
Dear Miss Rhodes,
Hey, not bad! I was a little concerned that costume wouldn't fit you but that fear was illogical. Now, you are probably wondering why I gave you this costume. Well, use your head. Who loved Yubel in the past? Use that to your advantage!
Sincerely your friend,
YGOF54
P.S. Have Yubel check the costume out, get her opinion.
Alexis looked at the note confused as to who sent it. But she shrugged and descended into her head to talk to the spirit within.
Hey, Yubel? Alexis mentally said.
Huh? Oh, Alexis! Sorry, I was distracted. I guess I long to have my body again. Yubel replied with a small chuckle.
Yeah, about that. Would you mind doing a changing of minds for a bit? There's something you got to see. Alexis said with a sly smile that was hidden.
Yubel was confused but complied with the request. When Yubel saw the reflection in the mirror, she was stunned. The mirror was reflecting her!
"What? Huh? Alexis, is this some kind of joke?" Yubel asked with Alexis's voice as she looked at the mirror with her two different colored eyes.
"Nope! It's no joke. Someone gave me a costume of you and I put it on. Plus the person who wrote it said I should use this to my advantage for Jaden." Alexis said her spirit appearing right next to Yubel.
Yubel's eyes lit up and she began to laugh. Alexis was confused and demanded to know why Yubel was laughing. After Yubel finished laughing, she spoke with another round of laughter in her mouth.
"Why don't we go see Jaden? He'll be extremely pleased to see me." Yubel suggested stifling her giggles.
Alexis was about to argue but Yubel was on the move. She left Alexis's room and moved out the Obelisk blue girls' dorm. She walked a little bit earning her couple of glances from both girls and boys. Yubel/Alexis heard a few comments but ignored them. They got to the boys blue dorm and went inside. Many boys were confused as to why a girl was in there dorm until Yubel/Alexis informed them that Miss Fontaine had sent her/them to talk to Jaden about an present that Jaden had promised to give the headmaster. It was, of course, a lie but the boys seemed to accept it. Yubel/Alexis found Jaden's room and tiptoed in. The two girls sharing one body sat on his bed and waited for him to return from whatever he was doing. Yubel/Alexis's foot brushed up against something under Jaden's bed. Curious, the two girls sharing one body picked it up and saw that it was a photo album. As the two leafed through it, Alexis saw that Jaden was different then what he was now. His eyes weren't the honey gold she knew him by. No, his eyes were a warm chocolate brown and full of care. A noise from the closet made the two jump and hastily put the book back. The closet door opened and Jaden walked out with his back to them. He too was in a costume, one that showed off his muscle tone very well. Alexis/Yubel saw that Jaden was dressed up as Evil Hero Malicious Edge and the costume fit him nicely. The dark king turned around and looked up. What he saw made his heart skip many beats and his eyes widen.
"Hello, Ja…mmph!" Yubel began but was cut off as Jaden's lips met hers and Alexis's.
Two seconds into the kiss, though, Jaden pulled away.
"No, this is wrong. This is so wrong." Jaden muttered to himself.
Yubel/Alexis wondered what was wrong with Jaden. She placed her hand, the hand that had survived the crash and burn, and touched Jaden's.
"Jaden, dear? Is something wrong?" Yubel asked.
"Yes. No. Argh! I don't know!" Jaden shouted with exasperation.
He then put his head in his hands, muttering unintelligently to himself. Yubel/Alexis rubbed his back when Jaden finally looked at them in the eye.
"It's just…Yubel, I don't know how to say this, but…my feelings for you aren't as strong as they were when we first came to the Academy. They have turned to someone else." Jaden said with a sad look and tears welling up in his eyes.
Yubel stopped rubbing his back and kissed him on the cheek. Jaden stared in shock. He was surprised that she hadn't gone on a rampage. Yubel smiled and ran her fingers through his hair.
"Jaden, I knew that you had fallen in love with her right after you dueled her. You saw something inside of her that you liked and, well, it grew over time. Now, that doesn't mean that I don't love you, I still do, but I knew it wasn't to be. I loved you so much that I gave my humanity up to protect you. Besides, I knew from the start that I was going to be with someone from your past. The minute you told me who I was going to inhabit, I got the feeling that she would fall for you too." Yubel explained to Jaden.
His golden orbs looked at her and he hugged her, with silent tears falling from his face. Yubel hugged him back and ran her hand up and down his spine. After a few minutes the two former lovers pulled away and looked at each other one last time. Then Yubel asked a question that was on her mind.
"Jaden, do you truly love Alexis?" Yubel asked while switching minds with Alexis.
Yubel, what are you doing?!?! Why are you pulling me back from my happy place? Alexis thought in a panic.
You need to hear this. Yubel thought back with a tone that said 'I don't want any nonsense from you.'
Alexis blinked and saw that Jaden was sitting next to her. Her heartbeat sped up as she looked at his golden eyes. Jaden looked her in the eye and said five words that Alexis wanted to hear.
"Yes, I truly love Alexis." Jaden said.
Alexis was first speechless then she launched herself at Jaden's lips. Jaden was caught off guard at the way Yubel was acting. (A/N: he doesn't know that the two can do a mind shuffle.)
After Alexis broke the kiss, Jaden was upset.
"Yubel, didn't you just hear me? I just said I loved Alexis!" He hissed.
"What are talking about, Jaden? It's me!" Alexis said in surprise forgetting that she was in a Yubel costume.
"Of course, I know that its you Yubel. But that doesn't mean you must launch yourself at me!" Jaden said crossing his arms.
Alexis suddenly remembered that she was still in the costume. It must have been so good that Jaden mistook her for Yubel still. Glancing around the room looking for something to convince him that she was Alexis. She looked in the mirror and saw the answer to her problems.
"Jaden, look me in the eyes. What do you see?" Alexis asked.
Jaden looked into the eyes of the duel monster and saw that they were a hazel nut color like they always were.
Wait, HAZEL?!?! Yubel's eyes are teal and…Oh, wow. Jaden thought to himself embarrassed.
"Alexis?" Jaden asked with the surprise from the discovery in his voice.
Alexis smiled and said, "About time. And yes, I heard you."
Jaden blushed so deeply that it made Mars jealous. Alexis giggled at the reaction of the dark king. Jaden felt the bed shift as Alexis scooted closer to him. The obelisk queen then said the four words Jaden had been dying to hear.
"I love you too." Alexis whispered before she placed her lips on his firmly.
Both felt like they had died and went to heaven. Alexis felt her insides melt away as her lips tasted Jaden. Jaden felt like he had just won something more important then a duel and felt his heartbeat slow down to match the speed of time around them. Both broke away when their oxygen reserves ran out. They looked at each other and blushed a fine red. Both then stood up and walked out of the room hand in hand.
"Jaden, you do know that there is a costume duel done at the red dorm right?" Alexis asked her eyes becoming the same colors as Yubel's. (A/N: Yubel and Alexis can share the mind link they have and allow certain qualities to come out. I.E. the eye color.)
"Yeah, that was why I was in the closet. Your brother asked if I was going to be there. I said yes because I couldn't pass up the opportunity to talk to an old friend of mine from the past." Jaden explained.
Alexis froze at the mention of her brother. Jaden wondered what was wrong and asked her.
"Jaden, we're going to have to keep our relationship on the down low. If Atticus found out, he wouldn't let me live in peace. Not to mention all of your fan-girls." Alexis said with a worried tone.
Jaden got what his love was saying right away and knew what Alexis's fan-boys would try to do. He agreed with her and they would both keep their relationship a secret until the right time. By the time the agreement was done, they had arrived at the Red dorm. Atticus was running around with a camera looking for someone.
"Has anyone seen Alexis? I want to take some pictures of her for the family." Atticus said while running away from the dorm.
Atticus stopped when he came near Jaden and zeroed in on the clasped hands. He took a picture which blinded the two for a spilt second.
"Hey, nice going J-man! I was wondering when you were going to get a girl. Hey, where's Lexi?" Atticus asked the two.
Jaden quickly came up with a fib in his head and put it into motion.
"Last I saw her she was heading to the costume duel. She didn't say what she was dressed up as, though." Jaden said with a smile that Atticus didn't see.
"Okay, thanks!" Atticus shouted as he ran back to the red dorm.
When the two were alone, Alexis gave Jaden's cheek a peck.
"Thank you. If there is one thing I wish for it's my brother not being so annoying." Alexis said with a sigh.
"He's just trying to catch up on the years that he missed being your brother." Jaden replied.
Alexis pondered that possibility and then nodded. The new couple walked to the dorm just in time to see Dark Magician Girl. But as they got closer, they soon saw that it wasn't the real one just…
"Miss Dorothy!" Jaden and Alexis cried out in surprise.
The foremention person looked at them and waved with a big grin on her face.
"Whose idea was that?" Jaden whispered loud enough for Alexis to hear.
"Mine." Chumley said as he walked behind the two.
"Ugh. We didn't need that image in our head you know." Alexis growled out.
Just then there was clanking coming from the left. The three turned toward the noise to see Chazz in an XYZ Dragon Cannon suit.
"I thought you were trying to lose weight not gain it, Princeton!" Jaden said with a laugh.
The look on Chazz's face made Alexis and Chumley laugh. Chazz glared at the two and then saw that Alexis holding Jaden's hand. Of course, he didn't know it was Alexis at all.
"Well, at least I got good taste in the girls that I date. Where did you find her, at an Ugly Convention?" Chazz taunted.
Alexis began to see red and was about to haul off and smack him hard across the face but was stopped by Jaden's hand on her shoulder. Jaden shook his head indicating that he would deal with Chazz later. Chazz, meanwhile, let something of his slip.
"I can't wait to see my Alexis's face when she sees me up in this get-up." Chazz said as a blush graced his cheeks and his eyes becoming hearts.
Jaden, Alexis, and Chumley looked at each other. Alexis's face was one of disgust while Jaden's was a face of pure rage. The tension only lasted until there was a bit of feedback.
"Hello Duelists! Welcome to the first Costume Duel Tournament! Today's first match is the new king of the blue dorm, Jaden Yuki!" Syrus said into a microphone.
Alexis placed a quick kiss on Jaden's lips and mouthed 'good luck.' Jaden smiled and nodded as he headed to the field.
"Now who's his opponent? Well, it's none other then…" Syrus was explaining but was interrupted by a female voice.
"Excuse me? Do you mind if I duel his majesty?" The voice asked.
Everyone turned to the voice and all of the guys, except Jaden, had hearts in their eyes. The girl standing before them was dressed as Dark Magician Girl and she looked like the real deal. Chazz was the first to regain his wits.
"Why, yes! As organizer of this event, you are allowed to duel Jaden." Chazz said with a smile.
"I thought Syrus put this together." The girl said with surprise on her face.
"I did! But the answer is still yes!" Syrus shouted.
The girl squealed and gave Syrus a hug. Syrus blushed deeply while some guys sent him dirty glares. Meanwhile, Jaden was shuffling the girl's deck while she was shuffling his.
"It's good to see you again DMG." Jaden said with a cold smirk.
DMG smiled and replied, "And it's good to see you, Supreme king."
The two gave the other back their deck and walked to opposite ends of the field.
"Let's duel!" DMG shouted as she deployed her duel disk.
"Get your game on!" Jaden shouted.
DMG: 4000/Jaden: 4000
"Ladies first." Jaden said with a gesture of his hand.
"Thanks." DMG said as she drew her card.
She looked at and squealed with delight. Jaden cocked his head and wondered what she had gotten.
"I'll place one card facedown and play this monster in facedown defense. I end."
"My turn. I draw!" Jaden shouted as he drew his card.
He looked at it and smiled. DMG looked excited as she saw the look on Jaden's face.
"I'll play Elemental Hero Sparkman (ATK: 1600 DEF: 1400) in attack mode!"
The monster that had solar panels on his back and dressed in a blue and gold armor appeared next to Jaden as well as crossed his arms while he looked at DMG.
"Next I'll attack your facedown monster with him. Go Static Shockwave!"
The hero uncrossed his arms and brought them high. Electricity from the air came together into his hands. He chucked the small ball at the facedown at such a speed that everyone thought that they had blinked. The facedown flipped up to reveal a Fire Sorcerer (ATK: 1000 DEF: 1500). The ball exploded on impact and the sorcerer disappeared but not before a ball of fire had hit Jaden in the chest.
DMG: 4000/Jaden: 3200
DMG had chosen two cards and placed them in her back pocket due to the Fire Sorcerer's effect. Jaden ended his turn and the spirit began its turn.
"My turn. I draw!" DMG cried as she drew her card.
She looked at it and smiled. Jaden knew instantly that she had drawn the very card she needed.
"I activate the spell card Dimension Fusion! By giving up 2000 life points, you and me can special summon monsters that have been removed from play. So come on out Magician's Valkyria (ATK: 1600 DEF: 1800) in attack mode!"
Two monsters that looked a lot like DMG appeared from a portal and descended onto the field. The spirit placed one card facedown and ended her turn.
"My turn. I draw!" Jaden shouted as he drew a card from his deck.
He glanced at it and frowned. It wasn't what he was hoping for but he would have to make due with it.
"I place Elemental Burstinatrix (ATK: 1200 DEF: 800) in defense and end my turn with one card facedown."
DMG drew her card without a single word. She looked at it and smiled mischievously. Jaden sweat-dropped as he got the feeling that she was going to play herself soon.
"Magician's Valkyria, attack Burstinatrix with Scepter Blast! Oh, I activate my trap card Magician's Circle this allows me to special summon a Spellcaster type monster from my deck but it has to have 2000 or less attack points." DMG explained.
Jaden smiled as he saw DMG pick the card that was her. But he frowned when Burstinatrix blew up.
"I summon myself. The Dark Magician Girl!"
Alexis heard someone shout 'Impossible' and knew that Bastion was right behind her.
"I thought only Yugi Moto had the only copy of that card." Zane muttered.
"I thought so too." A shrill voice added.
Alexis turned to see Crowler right next to her. Crowler looked at Alexis and screamed like a little girl.
"UGH! WHO ARE YOU!?!?!? YOU ARE HIDEOUS!" Crowler screamed.
Alexis saw the same red she saw when Chazz had admitted to liking her.
"I'm Jaden's girlfriend. And let me tell you something, have you looked in a mirror lately? But then again, you've probably broken it." Alexis said in a huff.
Crowler's face became two shades of fire red and was about to open his mouth when DMG declared an attack.
"I now attack your Sparkman."
The second DMG launched itself at the defenseless hero or somewhat defenseless hero. Jaden pressed a button and activated one of his three trap cards.
"Go, Draining Shield! I now gain life points equal to your monster's attack points. Plus your attack is stopped cold."
A bubble came over Jaden and the blast from the staff was absorbed and transferred to Jaden.
DMG: 2000/Jaden: 5200
"Aw, pooh! I end."
"My turn. I draw!" Jaden roared as he drew his card.
He looked at it and smiled knowing that he had won.
"I play Dark Fusion! I now fuse The Dark-Hex Sealed Fusion in my hand to Sparkman on my field to create Evil Hero Dark Inferno Wing (ATK: 2500 DEF: 2100) in attack mode."
The black and red armored Evil Hero arose from a ball of black fire. DMG squealed with delight at the new monster. Jaden knew that she was having a good time and decided to give her fight of her life.
"Dark Wing gains 500 attack points for each Elemental Hero and Evil Hero in my grave. Since I have two that means that Dark Wing gains 1000 attack points."
Dark Wing- ATK: 3500
"But I can't attack due to the effect of your Magician's Valkyria so I will end my turn."
"My turn. I draw!" DMG squealed as she drew her card.
She looked at it and smiled. She added it to her hand then chose another card.
"I play the spell card Sage's Stone! This spell can only be activated when I'm on the field, it allows me to special summon my Dark Magician (ATK: 2500 DEF: 2100) in attack mode!"
A man with a pointy hat and robes of blue and green with a staff in one of his hands leapt onto the field. His face was a scowl as he glared at Jaden's Dark Wing. DMG placed a card facedown and ended her turn.
"My turn. I draw!" Jaden shouted as he drew a card.
He looked at it and instantly smirked. DMG wondered what he could have drawn. She didn't have to wait long as he slammed it into his spell and trap card zone.
"I activate my spell card Evil Storm! This spell has one dozy of an effect. It targets my opponent's spell and trap cards, but that's not all! It also destroys monsters that have a defense that is lower then an Evil Hero's attack on the field. So that means you lose yourself and the two Magician's Valkyria!"
DMG and the boys gasped as the three monsters were struck by lightning while a powerful wind came out of nowhere and sucked up the three facedown cards. All that was left on DMG's field was the Dark Magician. DMG smiled and giggled.
"Thanks for the great match, your majesty!" DMG said with a bow.
"It was my pleasure to duel you again." Jaden said with a smile.
"Dark Wing, end this! Dark blaze!"
The Evil Hero leapt into the air and put itself on fire. The monster came down with a roar that made all the boys place their hands over their ears. An explosion erupted from where the Dark Magician was.
DMG: 1000/Jaden: 3200
From the dust, there was a cry of alarm as a geyser of fire came from the ground. As the dust settled, everyone saw DMG kneeling on the ground. The life counter read 0 which made all the boys groan and shoot death glares at Jaden. Jaden paid no attention to them because Alexis had raced up to him and kissed him on the lips. The two broke apart and went on their date. After their romantic dinner, the pair headed back to the Slifer dorm for the annual bonfire. Syrus sat looking at the fire with eyes that had a faraway look in them.
"I wish I got to know the girl who dressed up as DMG." Syrus sighed dreamily.
He thought he heard a giggle and turned to the sound. He didn't see anyone but he did feel something brush his lips. He then heard a voice on the air.
"Thanks for the great day, Syrus! I'll be seeing you soon cutie!" the voice said.
Syrus blushed so red it could be used as a beacon. Jaden and Alexis chuckled as they snuggled together.
There you go the long awaited chapter! Man who knew that I could type such good stuff?
Jaden: "I had a feeling that this was planned out."
Well, yeah. I did plan it out a bit. Anyway, next chapter is 'The last rider.' Please review!
