Disclaimer: Don't own Yugioh/GX/5D's. I do own the OC's and fic.
A/N: Well, here's the start of Chapter 4. The OC submission is still open, so create one or something. The decks they use can't be one that has been used by another character, need diversity...right?
Caroline Truesdale: I made the deck for your OC, but I'm not sure when I'll put her in the story.
A scream echoed through the forest, then abruptly stopped. A figure in a black cloak, covering their face and making them invisible in the night, stood smirking.
"And another one disappears," the figure said before laughing maniacally and disappearing.
"...and my mom began working here after a couple of years of studying abroad," Jamie told Chris.
"That's pretty cool. So what about your parents?" Chris asked, turning toward Jacob and Marcus.
"My dad quit dueling and became a lawyer not too long after graduating. When I started dueling, he gave me his deck," Marcus said.
"My dad still duels, but not often. However, he is a pro and goes to different world tournaments," Jacob said. "He let me copy his deck, since we are family."
"Ahh, that's cool," Chris said, yawning.
"Did you not get any sleep last night?" Jacob asked.
"Some. I stayed up a long time to finish Prof. William's report. Heh, that's what I get for waiting till the last minute," Chris said, smiling.
"I would have been the same way, but I decided to do it beforehand. Anyhow, what about your parents?" Jacob asked.
"That's actually a hard subject for me. Remember how I told you I didn't remember that much before I got to the academy?" Chris said. The three nodded. "Well, I don't remember that much about them. Nothing about my dad, and the only thing about my mom is that she was taken by two men in black suits when I was 4 years old."
"Sorry, we didn't mean to--" Jamie started to apologize.
Chris waved his hand. "Don't worry about it, I've accepted it. But I do want to know if my mom is alright or alive, and see if my dad is as well." He stood up and stretched, then turned toward his friends. "It's the weekend, we should be happy and go wild. So who's with me?"
"Sure, let's have some fun," Jacob said, standing up as well.
"Might as well, but what are we gonna do?" Marcus asked.
"Umm....don't know, but we'll find something," Chris said, scratching his head.
"Heh, as usual," Marcus said. Jacob and Chris ran off, Jamie and Marcus close behind.
The 4 friends were walking down a pathway from the school, laughing hysterically.
"That was classic," Jacob said.
"Yeah, did you see the look on Prof. Zimmern's face when he got hit with the water balloon?" Jamie asked, still laughing.
You see, Prof. Zimmern was the headmaster of the Obelisk Blue boy's dorm. He was young, had forest green hair and was very handsome, standing about 6 feet tall. The reason they were laughing so hard is that Chris and Jacob decided to water balloon him. They just happened to do it while he was talking to one of the women on the staff. He had tried to look for them, but couldn't find them.
"I'm surprised he didn't search for us longer," Chris said, wiping tears from his eyes.
"Well, they say he's a nice guy. He probably didn't care that much since he was smiling," Jamie said.
"Man, what a great way to start off the weekend," Chris said.
"You're pathetic. You can't duel to save your life...what a waste of my time," a voice said from farther up the path.
"Huh? What was that?" Jacob asked.
"Dunno, let's go check it out," Chris said, jogging toward the voice.
When they reached where the voice had came from, they saw a familiar face. "Kale..." Chris muttered, gritting his teeth. Sitting on the ground in front of Kale was a girl with dark tan skin and black hair, with red highlights. She was wearing the girls Ra Yellow uniform. They then noticed that the girl had tears in here eyes.
"Since you wasted my time, you need to be punished," Kale said, raising his hand to slap her. He brought it down, but the sound of a smack wasn't heard. "What the...?"
"You would hit a girl, Kale? You disgust me," Chris said icily, holding Kale's wrist. He pushed him backwards.
"Oh, the freshie again. Good, this means I don't have to look for you," Kale said, smirking.
"I'm assuming that you want a rematch? Well, for what you just did, I'll gladly accept," Chris said as he glared at Kale.
"Wait, you can't! He's too good!" The girl said.
"Don't worry..." Chris started.
"Hazel, Hazel Keynes," Hazel said.
"A beautiful name for a beautiful girl," Chris said. Hazel blushed slightly. "Don't worry Hazel, I can take care of him."
"That was really corny," Jamie whispered to Marcus.
"Yes, but it was a complement," Marcus whispered back. 'Chris, you need some help with romance....a lot of help.'
"Yeah, he'll do fine. He beat Kale the first time in two turns," Jacob said.
"Really? That's amazing!" Hazel said.
"It was luck!" Kale yelled.
"Doesn't matter, I still won. Anyhow, lets begin," Chris said.
"Oh yeah," Kale said.
"First, I have to get this jacket off," Chris said. He unbuttoned his Slifer Red jacket and threw it next to him, revealing a black muscle shirt underneath. It clearly showed that Chris was very athletic. Hazel blushed again as a red tint formed slightly on Jamie.
"Whatever. Let's duel," Kale said.
Kale: 4000
Chris: 4000
"I'll start," Kale said, drawing a card. "You should know, I've improved my deck since we last dueled. Now you have no chance of beating me. I place two cards face-down and summon Twin-Headed Wolf in attack mode!"
A big wolf rose up in front of Kale. It's body was covered in green fur while it's two heads had purple fur. It's red eyes gleamed as they locked onto Chris. (4/1500/1000)
"Okay, my move,' Chris said, drawing his sixth card. 'Two face-downs and an effect monster. Nothing good enough yet.' "I'll place a card face-down and summon Masked Dragon in defense mode." Chris continued, a white dragon with a steel mask and red underbelly appearing with its wings in front of it. (3/1400/1100) "That's all for now."
"Heh," Kale said, drawing. "First, I activate Stop Defense!" Kale said as Masked Dragon moved its wings and stood up. "Now, I'll sacrifice Twin-Headed Wolf to bring out Vanity's Fiend!" Twin-Headed Wolf disappeared in a flurry of black and white roses as a man wearing a black cloak walked out. He had red hair and a black marking on his face. His left arm was showing, revealing to be like a beast's arm, covered in hair. (6/2400/1200) "Now, Vanity's Fiend! Attack with Vanity's Slash! But before he atacks, I activate Bark of Dark Ruler. This trap allows me to sacrifice life points in multiples of 100 to lower your monster's attack by the same amount during the Battle Phase if I have a fiend-type monster on my field. So I sacrifice 1000 life points!"
Kale: 3000
Chris: 4000
Vanity's fiend ran forward as Masked Dragon's attack lowered. (3/1400/1100-3/400/1100) Vanity's Fiend slashed Masked Dragon with its beast arm, destroying the dragon.
Kale: 3000
Chris: 2000
"Since you destroyed Masked Dragon I get to---" Chris started.
"Sorry, but Vanity's Fiend makes it to where you can't special summon monsters," Kale said, ending his turn.
Chris drew. "Okay. I summon Luster Dragon in attack mode," Chris said. The blue dragon appearing on the field. (4/1900/1600) "Next I activate Stamping Destruction, allowing me to destroy a spell or trap on the field and deal 500 points of damage to you." Luster Dragon flew over and stomped down on Kale's face-down card.
Kale: 2500
Chris: 2000
"Finally, I activate the trap card Burst Breath. This card allows me to sacrifice one of my dragons and destroy all face up monsters with less defense than the dragons attack," Chris said. Luster dragon burst into pixels as yellow flames raced across the field, burning Vanity's Fiend to a crisp. "I'll end with a face-down."
"Damn," Kale said as he drew his card. "I'll summon Grave Protecter in defense mode and end my turn."
A zombie-like monster with gold wrappings and grey skin appeared with its arms crossed in front of it. Chains holding it in place. (4/0/2000)
"As long as Grave Protecter is face-up, any monster destroyed by battle is sent to our deck instead of our graveyard. Then we shuffle the deck," Kale said.
"My move then," Chris said. "I'll summon Armed Dragon LV3 (3/1200/900) and place a face-down. I'm done."
Kale drew a card and scowled. "I'll place a monster in defense and end my turn."
"Okay," Chris said as he drew. "Since it's my stanby phase, I can sacrifice my Armed Dragon LV3 to bring out a stronger one." The yellow dragon disappeared in a blast. Standing in its place was a bigger red dragon (5/2400/1700). "I'll place a card face-down, then Armed Dragon LV5 will attack your Grave Protecter!"
Armed Dragon walked over and slammed its tail into the mummy, destroying it.
"I'll end my turn, and my Armed Dragon's effect activates. Since it destroyed one of your monsters, it levels up!" Chris said. Armed Dragon LV5 burst into pixels, revealing an even bigger red dragon with silver armor (7/2800/1000).
"My draw," Kale said. 'Yes! This will work great!' "I activate the ritual spell, Zera Ritual! I sacrifice the Maju Garzett in my hand and the Brain Jacker on my field to summon Zera the Mant!"
Both monsters were sucked into a suit of armor. The armor turned blue as a demon with huge claws appeared, a purple cape flowing behind it (8/2800/2300).
"Now I activate the equip spell, Dark Energy. I can only equip it to a fiend, and that fiend gains 300 attack and defense! Now Zera, attack with Dark Roar!"
Zera was surrounded by a red aura as it strengthened (8/2800/2300 - 8/3100/2600), then it roared and a shockwave blasted over Armed Dragon, destroying it.
Kale: 3000
Chris: 1700
"My draw," Chris said. "First I'll activate Pot of Greed to draw two cards." A grinning jar appeared in front of Chris, as he drew the jar shattered. "Now I'll activate Graceful Charity, allowing me to draw three cards, then discard two." A bright light shown over Chris as he drew the three cards. "I'll summon Twin-Headed Behemoth in defense mode, which allows me to activate Dragon's Gunfire to make you take 800 points of damage!"
A demonic looking dragon with two heads appeared in front of Chris, its heads bent down and wings covering it (3/1500/1200). It opened its mouth and shot a fireball at Kale.
Kale: 2200
Chris: 1700
"I'll end my turn by activating another Stamping Destruction to destroy your Dark Energy and placing a card face-down," Chris said. Twin-Headed Behemoth flew to the card and destroyed it.
Kale: 1700
Chris: 1700
"Damn," Kale said, drawing. "I summon Abaki in attack mode!"
A big red monster with razor sharp teeth and a club popped up on the field (4/1700/1000).
"Now, Abaki will attack your Twin-Headed Behemoth with Fiend Club!" Kale said. Abaki ran over and slammed its club onto Twin-Headed Behemoth's head, destroying it. "Now, Zera will attack you directly and win this duel!"
"Nope, because I activate Enchanted Javelin, which gives me life points equal to your monsters attack," Chris said as a javelin hit Zera and restored Chris's life points. Of course, his life points went back to where they were after Zera attacked.
"Grr, I'll end my turn," Kale growled angrily. Chris's behemoth reappeared on the field, but with lowered stats (3/1500/1200 - 3/1000/1000).
"Draw!" Chris said. "I"lll place a card face-down. Then, I'll sacrifice Twin-Headed Behemoth to bring out Luster Dragon #2!"
Green crystals burst out of the ground, destroying the behemoth. A big green dragon with emeralds growing out of it lumbered onto the field (6/2400/1400).
"Now Luster Dragon! Attack Abaki with Emerald Crush!" Chris said. Luster Dragon charged at Abaki and slammed into it and blasting it to pixels.
Kale: 1000
Chris: 1700
"Since you destroyed Abaki, we both take 500 points of damage," Kale said.
Kale: 500
Chris: 1200
"Now, it's my move," Kale said as he drew. "Zera will attack your Luster Dragon!"
Zera walked over and slashed Luster Dragon, making it burst into pixels.
Kale: 500
Chris: 800
"That's all for now, and next turn your finished!" Kale said, smirking.
"Not if this card has anything to say about it!" Chris said, drawing. He smiled. "Now it's over. I summon Troop Dragon in attack mode!"
The green dragon with silver armor appeared, its sword in hand (2/700/800).
"That's it? A puny lizard with armor? Oh, you crack me up," Kale said, laughing.
"I activate Ring of Destruction, and sacrifice---" Chris started to say, but froze.
"Huh? What's wrong with Chris?" Jacob asked.
"He froze in fear of my talent," Kale said smugly.
"In your dreams," Jamie said.
Meanwhile, in Chris's mind...
"Finally, I've gained control of you human," Dusk said. "And once you lose this duel, I'll have complete control."
"What are you talking about, I'm about to win as soon as I choose Ring of Destruction's target," Chris said.
"No, I'll destroy this Kale's Zera and make you both lose, but it'll have a different effect on you, hahahaha!" Dusk said. He kicked Chris back and took over his body.
Back outside...
"Chris? Are you gonna move?" Hazel asked.
Chris sneered. "Sorry, Chris isn't here right now. But I will finish the duel." (A/N: From now on Chris will be called Dusk until further notice).He turned to Kale. "Ring of Destruction will destroy your Zera!"
A necklace with bombs appeared around Zera's neck. The necklace exploded and knocked Kale off his feet as the debris blew across the field.
Kale: 0000
Chris/Dusk: 0000
"You made a tie? What an idiot, you could've won," Kale said.
A dark aura flared around Chris's body. "I lost so I could take complete control of this humans body, not because I'm stupid," Dusk said. He laughed evily as a black cloak surrounded him. He then disappeared in a flash of darkness.
Everyone stood there, dumbstruck. "Uh, what just happened?" Jacob asked.
"If what Chris said is true, that is no longer Chris, but something evil," Marcus said.
"So he's possessed?" Jamie asked.
"It looks like it," Marcus said. Hazel nodded.
"Great, it looks like we'll be following what our parents did while they were here," Jacob said.
"Yeah, and its gonna be extremely dangerous," Jamie said. She looked at Hazel. "You may not want to get into this."
"Forget it, I'm gonna help. Chris helped me, so I'll help him," Hazel said.
"Okay. First we have to figure out where he is, then find a way to get Chris back," Marcus said. The others nodded.
Meanwhile, at an unknown location...
"So, human, how does it feel to be unable to do anything but watch what goes on on the outside?" Dusk sneered.
"Let me go you freak! I never agreed to this!" Chris shouted. He was knocked back against a wall in his mind. Then bound to it with chains.
"Listen human. I'm in control now, so that means you have no say over what happens. You can't do anything about it anyway," Dusk said. He noticed something in a dark orb. "Ah, it looks like your so called friends are going to try and help you. Let's give them a challenge, shall we?" Dusk laughed as he walked out of his hideout.
"Leave them alone Dusk, they have nothing to do with this!" Chris yelled.
"Oh, but they do. They interfered with my plans by weakening my control over you," Dusk said. "Hmm, I think I'll take the Jamie girl first."
"No!" Chris said, struggling against the chains. He slumped down to the ground. "Dusk is right, I can't do anything. Guys, I'm sorry for getting you into this."
A/N: That's it for chapter 4. I have now introduced the villan for this arc (I guess you can call it that) and the plot opens up slightly. Anyway, the OC submission is still in effect, so send them in. That's all for now, so R&R. FFD signin out.
P.S: I'm gonna put up the characters and what deck they use after I post this. This will help you know which type/archetype is already in use and which one is still open for the OC submission. Now, I'm done.
