Hey, Everyone. Sorry that the last chapter's was so fast. I was in a panic so I rushed. Welcome to 'Endgame part 1' you should all know how the first season started to end so this should be good for you. Disclaimer: I do not own YuGiOh GX or anything related to YuGiOh. Claimer: I do own the plot and the OC Jess Hernandez.
Chazz awoke looking up at the ceiling. He wondered what had happened while he was out before the events came rushing back to him. He had dueled a strange hooded man who said that he was the last rider. Chazz then remembered awakening inside a sphere next to three others. A blue one had Jess while a gray one had Atticus inside of them. The last one, a sliver one, held…
"Alexis." Chazz whispered as he blushed.
He had stared at the Obelisk girl when he was imprisoned in the sphere. The girl of his dreams awoke and started to beat on the sphere calling out a name possibly his. Chazz walked out of the infirmary and headed up to the roof the academy. He stared at the sky as he kept thinking of the queen of the blue dorm. Ojama Yellow and his brothers floated over to him.
Hey, what's the matter with da boss? Ojama Green asked his bros.
Well, judging by the look on his face, I think that he's…Ojama Black started but stopped as he let his brothers do the thinking.
It was at that exact moment that Chazz sighed one name.
"Alexis." Chazz sighed as the blush returned.
Ojama Green and Yellow's eyes widened as they got what Black was saying.
Is da boss…Green began.
…in love? Yellow finished.
Black nodded and the three went into a fit. They were whopping and patting Chazz on the back. Chazz was oblivious to it all as he looked out toward the docks. The sight at the docks made his blood turn cold and anger erupt. He saw Alexis and Zane at the lighthouse and thought they were starting to get together. He growled and hissed like an animal. He then heard cheering and looked at the ground. Jaden was being swarmed by his fan-club and he was trying to get away. Chazz's blood boiled again as he thought of his beloved flaunting over the dark king. Chazz made his mind up.
"I've got to get rid of the competition for dear, sweet Alexis. Now, who can I go to get Alexis to notice me?" Chazz asked to himself.
Uh, boss? How about her brother, Atticus? Black asked.
Chazz's face lit up and smiled.
Of course, her brother! Why didn't think of him before?!? Chazz thought to himself.
He took off for the beach but ran into Crowler.
"Ah, Mr. Princeton glad that you're awake. Sheppard wants to see all the spirit key guardians right away. Come along." Crowler said.
Chazz turned around and walked to the office. His plans to get Alexis's hand would have to wait.
Chancellor's office
"I'm proud of all of you for defending the school and the world. Now the threat is past, I would like the return of the keys." Sheppard said as he held out the box that once contained the keys.
Everyone took the keys from around their necks and placed them back in the box. Jaden put his next to Alexis's and looked at the Chancellor. His face said 'I need to tell you something' written all over it. Sheppard caught sight of the look and nodded silently. Chazz and the others filed out of the office with Alexis looking over her shoulder at Jaden with confusion on her face. Jaden mouthed 'I'll see you later' and winked. Alexis smiled and nodded before the door closed. The dark king turned his attention back to Sheppard who looked serious.
"I take Banner said something to you last night." Sheppard inquired.
Jaden nodded once and sat down in one of the chairs.
"Yes, Banner did say something to me. But it I need you to confirm if it's true." Jaden said with a look in his eyes that seemed that he was worried about something.
"What did he say to you?" Sheppard asked as he clasped his hands together.
"He said that the ones we were guarding were fonder of me then of the one that wants to use their power." Jaden said rephrasing the words Banner had used two nights ago.
Sheppard sighed and shook his head. Jaden cocked his head to the side as he looked at Sheppard.
"I knew it. I just knew it. That was what my dreams meant." Sheppard muttered to himself.
"Sir? What did your dreams mean?" Jaden asked as he began to feel something big was coming.
Sheppard looked up and sighed again.
"Jaden, the beast cards favor you more because you rule the darkness and because you can control their power which they hate with a vengeance." Sheppard explained.
Jaden sat in silence as he absorbed the information. He now knew the meaning of his own visions of the beast spirits crying out for him. Jaden got up and walked out of the office his mind preoccupied with his thoughts.
Beach
Chazz sat on the shore waiting for Atticus to show up. His thoughts were buzzing with excitement of what Atticus planned on how to help him earn Alexis's heart. Just then he heard the roar of a jet ski coming toward him.
"Hey-hey, Chazz! Good to see that you're awake!" Atticus shouted as he came onto the shore.
Jasmine and Mindy came out of nowhere and asked Atticus for his autograph. Chazz waited until the surfer duelist was done with the two girls who were giggling like mad. After the two ran off, Atticus sat down next to Chazz.
"So, what's on your mind?" Atticus asked the raven haired boy.
"I came to ask you for your permission." Chazz asked the former shadow rider with a serious face.
"Permission? Permission for what?" Atticus asked with a confused look on his face.
"Permission to date Alexis." Chazz said with a blush.
Atticus's face broke out into a big grin as he heard the words. He had been trying to set his sister for a boyfriend and now here was a guy that was in love with her.
"I'll help ya, bro! After all, I'm the Master of Love!" Atticus cried as he slapped Chazz on the back. "Now to set it up so that you can confess. Hmmmm, Sissy loves to duel so a duel will be the best way. But we got to make sure that she comes running to you. How do we do that?"
"I've got an idea!" Chazz shouted excitedly.
"Really, what is it?" Atticus asked equally excited.
"Well, now that the riders are all gone, why not use the spirit keys? After all, everyone is still under stress so if someone stole them they would panic..." Chazz suggested.
"Chazz, you are brilliant! Meet me at the school after lights out. I'll be waiting." Atticus said as he got up and left.
Chazz left as well, eager to gain the love of his life. There was a little voice telling him that it wasn't a good idea to take the keys but he ignored it. He went to his dorm room to get ready for that night.
Later at night
Sheppard looked at the clock and saw that it was time to go. He picked his papers but stopped when his eyes landed on the case that held the seven keys. He knew that the ringleader still had to come out of hiding so he thought it was best to hide the keys in a safe place. He grabbed the case and looked around for a hiding spot. He glanced at a tree that he had in his office and sighed.
It is better then being out in the open. Sheppard thought to himself.
Sheppard walked to the vase that held the plant and grabbed the trunk. He lifted the tree up without damaging the roots in the small space of earth and placed the box inside. He set the plant down again and walked out of the room. 5 minutes later, Chazz snuck in the room under the cover of darkness. He looked around for his partner in crime.
"Atticus?" Chazz half whispered half shouted.
A hand clapped over his mouth after the question was uttered. Chazz let out a shout of surprise which was muffled due to the hand.
"You're late. Come on, we don't have much time." A shadow hissed.
Jaden stepped into his bed while the robbery was taking place. He covered up and got ready to fall asleep when a voice echoed in the recesses of his mind.
"Sssssssssssssoon we will be releassssssssssed, your lordship. We will be reunited with you at long lassssssssst." A chorus of three voices said.
Jaden bolted upright and glared at the darkness.
"Who's there?" Jaden demanded to the shadows.
It was after the question left his lips when he answered it on his own.
"The Sacred Beast cards. What did they mean 'we will be released soon?'" Jaden wondered aloud.
He lied down and got the feeling that he would get the answer tomorrow.
Next Morning
"NOOOOOOOOOOO! THIS IS IMPOSSIBLE!" A voice wailed.
Jaden looked up from his work as he heard the voice. He wasn't the only one who did this. Half of the school was jolted out their regular routines when the voice wailed. Alexis looked at Jaden with a questioning look. Her unasked question was soon answered as Sheppard's face came onto the screen.
"Crowler, Jaden, Alexis, Bastion, Chazz, Zane, and Jess, come to my office immediately!" Sheppard barked.
Jaden had heard the urgency in the chancellor's voice and got a bad feeling in his gut.
Six of the seven called people and the man-thing rushed to the Chancellor's office. When they got there, they saw that Sheppard was shaking his head while looking at a case. When Jaden saw that it was the spirit key case, his bad feeling got worse. His suspicions were confirmed when he saw the inside.
It
Was
Empty.
"What happened, Chancellor?" Alexis asked oblivious about the empty case.
Sheppard didn't answer. Instead, he turned the case around. When he did there gasps from everyone except Jaden and Zane. They saw the keys weren't in the key case. Sheppard looked at each face but then confusion took over all of it.
"Where is Chazz? I thought…" Sheppard began but was interrupted when Jaden spoke up.
"Looks like we found our thief." Jaden grumbled while he crossed his arms.
Everyone was shocked to say the least. Jess was the most outraged.
"No way. Senor Chazz would never do this." Jess snarled at Jaden.
But the theory was only reinforced when Alexis's PDA went off. Alexis opened it and had read the text she had gotten. When she was done reading she looked up with a look of confusion. Zane was the first to speak up.
"Alexis? What's up?" Zane asked quietly.
"Atticus just asked me to meet him at the beach." Alexis said with the confused look still on her face.
"Well, we better go see if he's gotten into trouble again." Jaden muttered out loud.
Beach
Alexis and the others raced down to the beach area to meet up with Atticus. Jaden saw a lone figure on the sand and knew that it wasn't Atticus. The others saw the lone figure a few seconds after he did. Alexis was expecting her brother but who she saw wasn't Atticus, it was…
"CHAZZ?" Everyone, save Zane and Jaden, cried.
Chazz looked at the six people until his gaze rested on Alexis. Jess saw the keys around Chazz's neck and was shocked to see that the dark king was right again.
"Chazz, why did you take the spirit keys?" Zane demanded.
"I did it so that I could prove my love to Alexis!" Chazz cried.
Alexis's eyes narrowed and she gritted her teeth to prevent her from shouting, 'I don't have any feelings for you! They've been given to Jaden!' Atticus then walked out from a bush wearing a Hawaiian shirt and carrying a ukulele.
"Hey, sissy! I think I found a keeper here." He shouted with a grin.
Alexis shot a death glare at him and bared her teeth.
"After this, we are going to talk." Alexis said in dark voice.
Chazz decided that it was time to step in.
"Alexis, my dove, I challenge you to a duel! If I win, you become my girlfriend. If I lose, I will give you back the keys." Chazz declared.
"Give me a minute alright?" Alexis asked.
"Of course, my dear." Chazz said with sparkles in his eyes.
Alexis shot a quick glance at her secret boyfriend and saw that he had a look of rage on him. She knew that he would want to talk to her in private. He caught her glance and nodded with his eyes showing venom. Alexis nodded slightly and sighed aloud.
"May we have a moment?" Alexis asked Zane in whisper.
Zane got the message and glared at Jess, Syrus, and Chumley. The three went off to where Atticus was sitting. Zane then joined them after Alexis made him.
"Excuse me, Chazz, but I have to use the powder room." Alexis said to the raven haired boy.
"Alright." Chazz said with a dreamy sigh.
Alexis walked off until she was out of sight of the others. After a few seconds Jaden got up and said that he had to go back to the dorm. He walked until he saw that he was out of the others sight. He turned and saw Alexis waiting for him with an angry face.
"What should we do with my brother?" Alexis growled as she wrapped her arms around Jaden's waist.
"We could tell him about us. I know that he won't stop bugging you, but it's the only way to get him not to set up you up with the other boys." Jaden said as he returned the hug.
Alexis knew that answer was coming and, thought she didn't like it, she had to agree with Jaden's logic. Telling Atticus would make him go crazy but it would also stop him form being Cupid. Alexis sighed and nodded her head.
"You're right. We need to tell Atticus about us. But right now, I should get back so that I can beat Chazz into a pulp." Alexis said with a sigh.
"I'll be right behind you." Jaden said as he kissed her forehead.
Both of the duelists walked back to where Chazz was waiting. Chazz thought that the two were up to something but he dismissed it as Alexis walked up to him.
"Chazz, I accept." Alexis said coldly.
Chazz's smile was so wide it could be measured from his spot on the beach to Mars. Both of them prepared their decks and activated their disks.
"Let's duel!" Chazz shouted as he drew his cards.
"Get you game on!" Alexis cried as she drew her opening hand.
Chazz: 4000/Alexis: 4000
"I'll start first." Chazz said as he drew a card.
He looked at it and smiled. Alexis got a sneaking suspicion that Atticus had given Chazz some cards that had to do with the heart. Her suspicions were right as he activated a card.
"I play the spell card Love Ring. This card effect is this. We both special summon a monster from our hands. I summon my Ojama Green (ATK: 0 DEF: 1000) in defense."
The small green monster rose onto the field and flexed his muscles at Alexis. Alexis shivered at the gesture but chose a card of hers.
"I special summon Etolie Cyber (ATK: 1200 DEF: 1600) in attack mode."
The dance twirled onto the field with a war cry. Alexis smirked but then a ring appeared on both the Ojama's finger and Etolie Cyber's.
"Now our monsters have the proof of our undying love. Now that they have the rings neither monster can be an attack target nor can they be used as tributes."
Alexis kept her cold stare but inwardly she was fuming. She couldn't believe the nerve of Chazz and her older brother. She was already with someone and here this guy was thinking he could win her like some trophy. She was also mad at herself for the sloppy move she made. Chazz placed two cards facedown and ended his turn. Alexis drew her card without a word. She glanced at it and frowned. She had drawn Cyber Prima but with the Love Ring in play she couldn't sacrifice her monster. She looked at the rest of her hand and her eyes widen in glee. She grabbed the card that caught her eye.
"I special summon Cyber Skater (ATK: 1800 DEF: 1500) in attack mode."
A monster that had the colors of Etolie Cyber and the scimitars of Blade Skater rose onto the field with a whirlwind of leaves surrounding her. Chazz looked in awe at the new monster as it landed gracefully on her feet. Alexis smirked knowing what was coming next.
"Cyber Skater's special ability allows me to move one card that has the name 'Cyber' in it or is name 'Cyber Petit Angel'. I believe I'll take this one." Alexis said as she chose a card from her deck and added it to her hand.
She then grabbed Cyber Prima in her hand and held it up high.
"I now sacrifice Cyber Skater in order to summon my Cyber Prima (ATK: 2300 DEF: 1600) in attack mode."
The icy dance rose from the place Cyber Skater disappeared from. Alexis smirked as the Love Ring blew up in Chazz's face. Now his monster was ripe for the picking.
"Cyber Prima, attack his Ojama Green."
The dance leapt at the weak beast but Chazz activated a trap card.
"Go, Love Triangle. This trap card can only be activated when there are two monsters on your side of the field and one on mine. Now your two monsters cannot attack my poor monster."
Alexis growled as the attacking monster returned to her side. She placed one card facedown and ended her turn. Chazz drew his and looked at it. He placed it facedown in his spell and trap card zone and ended his turn without a word.
"It's my move. I draw!" Alexis shouted as she drew her card.
She looked at it and saw that it wasn't one of her Cyber Angels. It was instead one of the Cyber Demons. Cyber Demon Cerberus was the cards name. When she read the effect of the card, she smiled a bit.
"I give up half of my life points to summon a new card of mine. Allow me to introduce Cyber Demon Cerberus (ATK: 2600 DEF: 2300) in attack mode!"
Chazz: 4000/Alexis: 2000
A monster with three heads rose from a black portal. The new monster roared with such ferocity that it made everyone, including Jaden, tremble. Alexis smirked as Chazz gasped when his monster and cards blew up. But Alexis's smirk turned into a frown as she saw that she had to skip her battle phase. She placed one of her cards facedown on the field and ended her turn.
"My move." Chazz said as he drew.
He looked at it and saw that it was the one card he had prayed for. His smile returned with a vengeance. Alexis knew that he had possibly drawn a card to help with the duel.
"I play the spell card The Dark Door. Now only one monster can attack. I then place Ojama Yellow in defense. I then end my turn."
"My turn." Alexis cried as she drew.
She added it to her hand when she saw that it wouldn't help her any. She went on the attack with Cerberus.
"Cerberus, attack his Ojama!"
The giant beast opened its jaws and spewed black fire at the tiny monster. The flames engulfed it and burned Chazz.
Chazz: 3000/Alexis: 2000
"What the?!?!?! Why did the Chazz's life points drop?" Chazz asked in surprise.
"Because Cerberus inflicts damage to your life points equal to the destroyed monster's defense points." Alexis explained coldly. "I end."
Chazz drew his card wordlessly and looked at it. He saw that he was between a rock and a hard place. He couldn't place any monsters in defense or risk taking damage. He also couldn't leave any in attack mode because he would take damage as well. But he couldn't leave himself open either. So he decided that the best way was to keep up the defense.
"I place Armed Dragon LV 3 (ATK: 1200 DEF: 900) in defense and I end."
Alexis drew and looked at the card. She saw that it was a card made for Cerberus himself. She smirked as she read the effect to herself. She glanced at Chazz and gave him an evil smile.
"I activate the spell card, Cerberus Flare! This spell inflicts Cerberus's attack points as direct damage to your life points. I must skip my battle phase though."
Three fireballs roared out of the dark beast mouths and raced to Chazz. He grunted as all three made contact.
Chazz: 600/Alexis: 2000
Chazz began to get nervous as Alexis ended her turn. He drew his card and looked at it. He was disgusted that his draw had failed him. But then he remembered that Armed Dragon LV 3 had leveled up to Armed Dragon LV 5 (ATK: 2400 DEF: 1700). But he had no other choice but to end his turn.
"My turn." Alexis hissed as she drew a card.
She added it to her hand and looked at Cerberus.
"Cerberus, end this. Chazz, I don't share you feelings because I already have someone." Alexis said with a deadly edge in her voice.
Chazz literally turned to stone when he heard that his feelings weren't returned. He was dimly aware of his dragon blowing up or his life points falling. He fell back onto the sand with a broken heart over his head. Atticus ran over to the fallen boy with concern in his eyes.
"The. Chazz. Has. Lost. His. Heart!" Chazz wailed.
Suddenly the island began to tremble violently. The keys around Chazz's neck began to glow as did Alexis. She let out a cry of pain as something left her. Jaden raced over and caught her before she lost consciousness. A specter that was familiar to Jaden appeared before him. He looked at the ghost and smiled.
"Welcome back, Yubel." Jaden said with a grin.
There you go, 'Endgame part 1'. I'll be gone over the 4th of July weekend so I won't have access to a computer for three days. I won't get back until late Sunday night so do not, I repeat, do not expect a chapter on Monday. I will update 'Endgame part 2' on Friday. Sorry that you have to wait.
