Yu-Gi-Oh! Era-X
Chapter 7: The Chaos Crusade; Awaited Rematch!
Yurai stood before a possessed Neoki in the cold night. Yurai gazed at the troubled teen, he understood what pain he must be going through right now. Differences aside, he wasn't in this duel to finish what they started, but simply save Neoki from himself. On the other side he did want to know what this new deck that was bestowed upon him is capable of.
Yurai let a smirk escape and this made Neoki curious, "What's with that smile?" he asked in a low tone of voice.
"I just got of the emergency room and instantly I'm thrown at you..." Yurai's smirk turned into a straight face. "What is your problem anyway...?"
Neoki tilted his face to the side and with a crooked grin he answered, "Simple Yurai... I just don't like you..."
Yurai closed his eyes knowing there was more to it than that, "Is that so..." He looked up at Neoki with determination in his eyes. "Well you're gonna hate me with a passion when I win this duel!"
AR VISION LINK, ESTABLISHED.
"You have sealed your fate with those words filled with lies... Yurai you use your words to cover up your inner emotions..." Neoki smiled with a dark shadow over his eyes, "You are a splendid actor, Reihou... I must commend you on the lie you live, but for... Duel!"
Yurai Lp: 8000
Neoki Lp: 8000
Yurai and Neoki both drew their five cards and Neoki took the first turn by drawing his sixth as he laughed. "I play this monster here face-down along with this spell or trap." his laugh got even creepier. "Your turn..."
Yurai had drawn his next card before scanning over his hand, thinking of a strategy. He raised an eyebrow, "Okay, maybe this can work." he grinned.
Idene was looking over Yurai from behind him, waiting for his first move. She looked at Neoki and the grey and silver haired boy licked his tongue out and then blew an ugly kiss towards her. Idene flenched as she wondered if this child could see her as well. She whispered to Yurai as he was observing his hand, "I fear that Neoki can see me, Yurai." she said in her usual calm tone of voice.
Yurai looked up at the confused teen acting as his opponent for now, "Huh...?"
Neoki giggled and it echoed, "Yeah, spirit lady..." He then shot Idene as wink, "I see you!"
Yurai raised his left eyebrow, "This is all so wrong... I don't even feel like I'm standing in front of Neoki."
"Because you're not..." Idene answered. "His primal urges are exploding out of his mind. He is not himself anymore, but more like suppressed urges..."
Neoki was swaying back and forward, "Hehehe... Didn't they teach you not to keep a lady waiting... hahaha!"
Yurai narrowed his eyes, "The weirdness level just exceeded that of which is humanly possible..."
"Forget about it..." Idene suggested, "You must win this duel now."
"Right! The quicker we can shock him out of his craze the better!" Yurai smirked, "Let's get this party started! Well not an actual party, but you know what I mean..."
Neoki stood there with a crazed expression on his face before he smiled and drew a card, "I will show you my pain and demolish you!" He set a monster face-down and another card in his spell/trap card zone. "That does it for me."
Yurai drew his card next and his face looked like that of a scientist cooking up a master plan, "I summon Dual-Wielding Crusader (1800/500 lv4)!" A female with red flowing hair in black and pink armor jumped on the field. Under her armor she wore a black one-piece and black armored knee high boots. As the woman appeared on the field she twirled to golden lances in her hands before taking a fighting pose.
Neoki waved a finger back and forward, "Not so fast little mouse, I've laid out this little trap here." he began to smirk as the trap card Trap Hole was activated. "Meow... Hehehe!" Neoki laughed wickedly as Dual-Wielding Crusader fell through the hole and shattering into many pieces.
Yurai's right eyebrow twitched, "Idene... Just seeing him like this is weird enough to make me quit and go home."
Idene looked at Yurai with emotionless eyes, "Neoki acting the complete opposite of his character should be enough to motivate you to fight on and restore him..."
Yurai sighed, "I guess you're right... I set a face-down and end my turn."
Neoki drew his card and cringed his nose, "I flip summon Chaotic Sprite (1200/900 lv3) and summon Chaotic Battle Mage (1400/1400 lv4). I activate Battle Mage's effect and special summon Chaotic Defender Mage (200/2000 lv3) to the field as well!" Joining his other mages was a super muscular mage in a brown and red cloak. "Are you afraid yet, Future Loser Yurai? Hahaha!"
Yurai wore a blank expression on his face, "No, I am not. Not Regular Neoki..."
Neoki put a finger to his lips, "Shhhhh! I didn't tell you to talk little one. Now watch my next trick! I use my monsters to Booster Summon Chaotic Magician (3400/2700 Gr8)!"
The three spellcasters flew into the portal in the sky and after a flash of golden light Chaotic Magician decended from the newly made dimensional rip in the sky. The tall yet muscular blue skinned man in a black cape and hood appeared. His black cloak was slick and leathery and his staff like sword shined in the light of its arrival. Its eyes wore a deep crimson red with no pupils and when it showed its devilish grin you could see his sharp white teeth from under his hood.
Neoki grinned as he watched Yurai narrow his eyes, "I detach a supporter material to make your face-down disappear!"
Chaotic Magician produced an orb of purple light and slung it at Yurai's face-down which was revealed to be Magic Cylinder.
Yurai bit his lip trying to figure out what next, "Don't worry, Yurai. Stay calm and look at your hand..." Idene told her companion.
"Shut up busty lady! You don't have permission to talk!" Neoki yelled at the spirit that was Idene.
Yurai took in a breath of air before he studied his hand quickly. Instantly his eyes shot open and he smiled.
"Chaotic Magician! Give Yurai a direct attack will ya!" Neoki shouted as his magician gathered more light into its staff. "Forbidden Flash!" Chaotic Magician unleashed a giant wave of mystical energy rays that hit Yurai and created one big explosion around him.
"Ahhhh!" Yurai was yelling as he felt the pain throughout his body. The blast had enough impact to send Yurai flying backwards and hitting a tree he grunted.
Yurai Lp: 600
Neoki grinned from ear to ear, "I doubt you can last another turn. After I win, Yurai..." Neoki lowered his head, starring at the ground, "Your dead..." He then looked up at Yurai and began to laugh.
Yurai got up off the ground smirking, "Calm down will you." Once he was barely standing up straight he held up a card from his hand, "I activate Starlight Crusader's effect... When I take damage from a monster you control I can special summon this little fellow from my hand."
Appearing on Yurai's field was a small chibi-like warrior in a sky blue cloak that was kept closed by a golden star pendent. Under the cloak it wore light blue armor trimmed in gold.
"Starlight Crusader (100/100 lv2) also allows me to gain life points equal to the amount of damage I just received from your attacking monster." Yurai explained as Starlight Crusader held its hand in the sky, summoning a beam of light which hit Yurai.
Yurai Lp: 4000
Neoki didn't seem fazed at all, "This only allows me to torture you longer than what should have been. That will be my turn. It's okay to continue to struggle Yurai... you are my prey..."
Yurai drew his card as he ignored Neoki, "I summon Phaser Crusader (1200/1100 lv4) and with its effect, I attack you directly!" Phaser had pale skin, wore dull grey armor, and a torn cape on its back. He held a rusty sword and charged at Neoki, phasing right through Chaotic Magician to stab Neoki with his blade.
Neoki Lp: 2800
Neoki looked at the palm of his hands and began to laugh more and more by the second, "Yes! Please! Keep fighting for your life! It will make things much more satisfying when I defeat you!"
"I switch Starlight Crusader to defense mode and set a two face-downs to end my turn." Yurai starred at his opponent, awaiting his next move. *Idene... Everything about my next move is riding on luck... If this plan doesn't work out...*
*It will, dear Yurai.* Idene closed her eyes as she spoke telepathically to Yurai, *It is written...*
Yurai looked back at Idene, wondering what she meant by 'written'. He figured there was something she wasn't telling him, but he dismissed it to focus on the duel.
"You know what I'm gonna do next, Yurai. I use Chaotic Magician's effect." He detach a supporter material from him and was now deciding on which card to destroy, "Should I destroy that one or that one... I pick the face-down on the left!" Chaotic Magician fired another orb of light at Yurai's face-down, destroying it in the process. Neoki grinned, "That Mirror Force could've really come in handy, and I bet that other face-down is a dud. Just a fake you tried to use to confuse me!" Neoki continued to laugh, "Charge Chaotic Magician! Make that Phaser vanish into nothingness!"
Yurai smirked, "Hmph. I activate my trap you considered to be a dud, Desperate Measures. By sending Phaser Crusader and Starlight Crusader to my graveyard, I can Special Summon a Crusader from my hand or Deck."
Neoki narrowed his eyes, "What good will that do you! You can't take down my Chaotic Magician!"
Yurai drew a card from his deck, "Just watch and stop running your mouth. I Special Summon Lightning Crusader (1600/1200 lv4) in attack position." Yurai had summoned a warrior with big spiky blue hair with a gold lightning bolt in the center. He wore a high-collared silver cape, tight long sleeved blue shirt trimmed in gold along with black cargo pants with gold colored pockets and blue cuffed boots trimmed in gold.
"You shut up! Continue your attack Chaotic Magician! Show him his moves are worthless!" Neoki shouted. His powerful mage hit Lightning Crusader and destroyed him instantly.
Neoki felt a sharp pain pierce him and soon he found himself struck by multiple lightning bolts. "Wha?"
Neoki Lp: 1000
"Thanks to Lightning Crusader's effect, when I take battle damage from battles involving him, the damage is dealt to you instead." Yurai said smirking.
Neoki clenched his fist and yelled, "By detaching Chaotic Magician's supporter material I inflict 1000 damage to you!"
Yurai withstood the pain given to him, but his smirk didn't leave his face, "I'm still gonna win."
Yurai Lp: 3000
Neoki's eyes were basically bulging out of his head, "Whatever! I summon Chaotic Pawn (600/300 lv2) and open the portal of dimensions!" The dimensional rip opened up again taking Chaotic Magician and Chaotic Pawn, which was just a black flaming orb, with it.
"What?! You have a second Booster? I had no clue that someone could hold more than one!" Yurai was shocked as well as Idene.
"This Neoki... He is a threat indeed." Idene said to her comrade.
"Hahahahaaa! Get a load of Chaotic Incarnate: The Executioner (4000/100 Gr9)!" Falling to the ground was a gigantic knight in a purple cloak holding two silver staffs in each hand. "Cower in fear at my divine Booster monster! One of many I have obtained! That just about does it for me. That is until I finish you off."
...
In Yurai and the others' room, the three remaining boys were in a circle watching something. It seemed they were watching a holographic duel in the middle of the room.
"Wow... That monster is huge..." Hex stated looking at the duel between Neoki and Yurai.
Ryuuto looked at Hatsuo, "How did you do this anyway?"
"I bought the new D-pad yesterday. It comes with all these awesome functions like-" Hatsuo was cut off.
Ryuuto was laughing, "Alright, alright. But we should really be worrying about this new Neoki taking Yurai out."
Hex sighed, "I don't know how he can pull through this one..."
"He will. Don't worry Hex." Ryuuto reassured.
"Yeah, Yurai's gonna find a way." Hatsuo added.
...
Yurai looked up slowly at the towering monster and he then became more determined with a stern look on his face. Yurai smirked as he drew his card, "I wish this battle could've been with the real Neoki. He would've put up a better fight."
Neoki raised an eyebrow, "You can't possible have a way out of this! I'm the winner! Me!"
Yurai closed his eyes as he rubbed his forehead, "Idene, you did say that at the moment his only concerned is with his biggest desire. And his desire at the moment is to defeat me, no matter how. Am I right?"
Idene nodded, "Because, like you, he was exposed to something in your first duel. That something wants to take over at any cost and to do so it needs to drive him insane... It uses what has been bothering him the most and increases his desire for it. Neoki couldn't get over not beating you for his own personal reasons."
Yurai nodded, "What if I let him beat me? Won't he be cured that way?"
Idene shook her head, "That would only make him obsess over his next problem."
"I see... I'll have to end this now." Yurai stated.
Neoki was too busy panicking at the thought of losing to Yurai. That would make Jacob a better duelist than he was, is what Neoki thought. He couldn't stand the thought of being last to Jacob and Yurai, it irked him.
"I summon Buster Crusader (1500/1000 lv3)." Yurai had summoned to his side of the field a warrior with a red mask, black scarf, leather jacket, and armored leather pants. He carried two modified pistols, a bazooka on his back along with a quiver and bow. "I equip Buster with Shooting Star Bow - Ceal. Buster Crusader loses 1000 ATK points, but he can attack directly. Go Buster." Buster Crusader took out his bazooka and fired the shot past the giant mage, hitting a dazed Neoki.
Neoki flew back and rolled on the ground coughing.
Neoki Lp: 500
"Since I've inflicted damage to you, I can activate Buster Crusader's effect. It allows me to hit you 500 extra damage." Yurai said this before Buster switched to his pistols and shot at Neoki, ending the duel.
Neoki Lp: 0
Neoki felt his head pounding and began to scream in agony. He had lost and it seemed the demon inside his head was eating away at him. Yurai looked on at the scene before him, "Idene... I must shoulder his pain, don't I?"
Idene had a faint grin on her face once she realized Yurai knew what he had to do, "Don't worry Yurai, I will guide you."
The both of them made their way over to a tortured Neoki. Yurai put his hand on Neoki's burning forehead. Yurai's eyes flashed a golden color and Idene began to emit a shining blue light. "I can feel his pain... It's hurting, but not as much."
"Release!" Idene shouted and Yurai did as he was told. The light around Idene and Yurai grew larger. And soon it exploded in silence leaving only Yurai on the ground, catching his breath.
Yurai looked around for Idene, but she was not in sight. Yurai then turned his attention to a motionless Neoki, "I think... it worked!" Yurai was smiling as Neoki opened his eyes.
Neoki sat up and looked at the ground to avoid eye contact with Yurai, "...Thanks..."
Yurai laughed a bit, "No pro-"
Neoki interrupted Yurai, "But understand... this does not make us friends..."
Yurai smirked as he nodded his head, "That's cool with me." Yurai got up and held out his hand.
Neoki accepted because he couldn't move completely by himself. "Next time we duel... I'll stand the victor. …Enter the tournament so you may fall to me."
Yurai was helping Neoki walk out the forest and Yurai was looking into the sky smirking, "Sorry... but I don't plan on entering that mess."
"It seems I've frightened you, huh? I don't blame you for being afraid to duel me head on." Neoki said with pride in his voice.
Yurai looked forward, "Honestly, I never planned on entering it. I was just gonna stand by and watch everyone else."
Neoki closed his eyes from tiredness, "When I win... be ready for another rematch, Reihou..."
Yurai looked at Neoki slowly falling asleep, "Anytime, Xandrix..."
...
The next day...
Yurai and his roommates were sleeping comfortably in their room with no disturbances. That was until their alarm clock rang and had woken only Yurai up. Yurai was half sleep as he got up to turn off the alarm clock, "What was this thing set for…?" Yurai wasn't aware enough to actually turn off the alarm on the clock so he tossed it out the window they left open, "That'll do…" Yurai hopped back in his top bunk bed not knowing that the others had set that clock for school today. It seems a group of boys were going to be slightly late today… if anyone wakes up at all.
Jun, Arcaine, and Fudo had gotten up on time thanks to Jun being on the student council. Jun had to get to some council things early and so he went ahead and woke up his buddies fearing they would oversleep.
The three of them walked out and ran into a semi-crowded hallway. "Looks like everyone is trying to get to class on time today…" Arcaine said as he looking at everyone.
"Should we go make sure Ryuuto and the others are up? They were pretty loud last night." Jun asked.
Fudo tried to push past their peers as they swept him up into the crowd, "A little help here!"
"Oh no, they caught Fudo!" Jun exclaimed right before he was being pushed forward by the crowd. "Arcaine! It's up to you!" he yelled to his friend after he was abducted by their peer group.
Arcaine had threw his fallen friends a thumbs up, but looked down and spotted a quarter, "Cool, a quarter!" For that split second he was distracted he had fallen down the same path as his roomies. While being taken down the hall Arcaine sighed, "I was so close…"
Fudo had arrived at the school before Jun and Arcaine. He was waiting for them at the school entrance and then the girls had arrived. Nikki, Cloe, Tenshi, Luna, and Lyone.
"Hey Fudo!" Nikki yelled at the blonde boy in front of them.
Tenshi looked around for a quick second, "You're not with the others?"
Fudo smiled, "Not at the time. But Jun and Arcaine should be on their way along with our other rowdy bunch."
Lyone was tapping her foot, "Well Jun needs to hurry up." She said a bit agitated.
"Why?" Cloe asked shyly.
Lyone put her hands on her hips, "The student council president is back today and he's holding an emergency meeting."
"Wow Lyone. This is the first time I've seen you serious." Nikki commented.
Just then Jun walked up with a fake smile on his face after seeing a red hot Lyone.
"Where're the others, bud?" Fudo asked.
Jun scratched his teal spiky hair, "Well… I had to leave it to Arcaine…"
"We need to hurry up Jun!" Lyone exclaimed.
"Why did you need to wait for Jun? Is there something going on between you two?" Tenshi asked teasingly.
Lyone snarled and Jun blushed, "He's a wet behind the ears council member and I'm in charge of him for now! You don't see me talking about your love polygon!"
Nikki froze, "What love polygon? Is there something you're hiding from us Tenshi?"
"Yep! Tenshi's in love with all your guy friends, even Hatsuo and poor little Hex!" Lyone said joking again before she ran off with Jun.
Tenshi was waving her hands back and forth, "No way! I don't even like the idea of being around so many boys! I can only bare it if I'm with… oh just forget it…"
"That Lyone… Even when she's serious, she finds a way to get some fun in." Luna said laughing slightly.
Fudo looked back and spotted Arcaine, "Hey check it out!" He said while pointing to his other roommate.
Arcaine walked up, rubbing the back of his neck knowing that he didn't keep up his part of the bargain.
"Where's Hex and the others?" Luna asked.
Arcaine looked off, "I failed to get them… but I saw a quarter-"
"Did you get the quarter?" Nikki asked.
"Not really. I spotted it but was to slow." Arcaine continued.
"You see, when you see it you should just pick it up without thinking anything more." Nikki shared some advice.
"Yeah I know, it's just that-"Arcaine couldn't finish his sentence.
"Focus." Luna suggested. She was just a tad bit worried that the other boys were having a bad influence on her young cousin.
Fudo looked up at the digital school clock on top of the school building, "We have twenty whole minutes before school officially starts. We can have two of us go back to get them."
"Nikki and Arcaine." Luna proposed. She knew that out of all of them, Nikki and Arcaine could get really angry and be a bit stubborn.
Arcaine's eyebrow twitched, "I cannot risk being late. I tried to get those chumps." His mind was set, no going back for him.
Fudo looked over at Tenshi, "You're my second choice. You may have experience getting hard sleepers up right? You are Yurai's childhood friend if my memory serves me right. I figure you've had to wake him up on multiple occasions."
Tenshi blushed, "Well… I guess. Yurai can oversleep at times."
Nikki smiled, "Good because we need to talk!" She exclaimed as she grabbed Tenshi's arm, dragging her along with her.
"School card shop anyone?" Fudo asked.
"Okay." Cloe replied smiling.
Nikki and Tenshi were walking back to the boys' dorm at their own pace. They seemed to be walking in awkward silence until Nikki broke it, "So, who do you like?"
Tenshi was shocked and taken back by her friend's question. She began to blush heavily, "I wouldn't even be able to handle something like that!"
Nikki tapped her chin, "Oh yeah. That phobia of yours is gonna get in the way of you getting a boyfriend."
Tenshi crossed her arms, "Who says I want one."
"I just thought that could help you get over it. Just trying to be a good friend." Nikki said.
Tenshi tensed up, "Yurai thought me hanging around him would help. Because he makes friends more easily than I ever could."
"We became friend easily." Nikki responded.
Tenshi sighed, "And how did we meet?"
Nikki narrowed her eyes, "After me and Yurai had a duel…"
"Exactly… If it was up to me I'd be that girl that stays away from everyone intentionally." Tenshi said sadly.
Nikki looked at her friend sulk, "How did you and Yurai become friends then? He's a boy and it seems you two have a nice friendship."
Tenshi thought for a moment, "Well… Our parents were friends and Yurai was kinda feminine. When we first met he freaked out over a ladybug and I guess I wasn't that intimidated by him. He was certainly kinder than the average boy. Believe it or not he didn't care for dueling and preferred to stay inside all day."
"Seriously?" Nikki was shocked, "So what made him start dueling?"
Tenshi rubbed her arm, "Well… When his dad past away, he went into a deep depression. I remember him watching a bunch of duels his dad had participated in and suddenly he became obsessed. I'm kinda glad he changed though. We soon met Aliq, who acted like our big brother I guess."
"Hmmm." Nikki started to think, "So Yurai used to be a big baby? You really wouldn't be able to tell at first glance."
Nikki and Tenshi eventually found themselves outside of the boys' room. The only problem was how they'd get in now.
"So what now?" Nikki asked. "Should we bang on the door?"
Tenshi went over to the palm scanner, "You know how every scanner has a code entry function, right?" Tenshi watched Nikki nod her head. "Let's just say Yurai sleep talks in class." Tenshi pressed a button on the scanner and the screen changed to numbers and such. She entered the passcode and afterwards the door slid open, no problems. "Nikki your up."
Nikki popped her knuckles and went to work. First she gently shook Hex and woke him up. "We overslept didn't we…?" Hex inquired.
Nikki nodded and told Hex to be quite nicely. Hex was watching Nikki's movements as she went up to Ryuuto's bed. She whispered something in his ear and he barely moved. Next thing you know Nikki shouted in his ear and Ryuuto jumped up covering up his ears.
"What was that?" Ryuuto asked as he began to rub his eyes. Nikki had put her finger on his lips before she walked over to Hatsuo.
Nikki pulled Hatsuo's cover off of him and looked around the room, "Pass me that water bottle." She was quite as Ryuuto handed her the bottle. Nikki then poured the water on Hatsuo's stomach and pants, causing him to shiver. Nikki then whispered in his ear, "Bed wetter…"
"Huh. You're lying…" Hatsuo was sleep talking as he felt over himself, searching for his cover until he felt something wet. "Ahhh!" he yelled and then spotted Nikki and Tenshi. "Waking up to two beautiful faces… I mean how dare you!"
Nikki looked at Yurai's bunk, he had not budged since they arrived. "I thought all this noise would have woken him up. But look at him, sleep like a baby."
Ryuuto was digging in his ear, "He didn't get his required amount of sleep last night."
Tenshi smiled, "I got this one." She went to the window and caught a ladybug in the palm of her hand. "Watch this." She said with a smile still on her face. Tenshi put the ladybug on Yurai's ear and it began to buzz. Yurai began to twitch and moan and soon he twitched even more by the second.
"What's happening?" Hex asked.
Tenshi backed up slowly, "By this time his subconscious should be causing him to have a nightmare about some bug. Aliq used to do this when we were kids."
Yurai was swatting the air, "Mommy! Help! The butterfly… it wants to kill me!" Yurai began to toss and turn, "Don't leave me! Mommy no! It brought back-up! Not the hair! The butterfly and friends are bullying me!"
"What goes on in that brain of his…?" Ryuuto wondered.
Yurai then hopped up out of his bed with his eyes blood shot red. He was huffing and puffing as beads of sweat dropped down his forehead. He looked around and saw his friends staring at him and he sighed, "Was it that bad?" He watched them all nod their head slowly and he hung his head in shame.
…
Lyone and Jun had walked into the student council room and were apparently the last to arrive. "At least the party didn't start without us." Lyone said as she and Jun took a seat at the large table along with others.
"Where's the president?" Jun asked.
"Hello student council members." Entering the room was the president. He was the eighteen year old Ranmaru Sarugaki, the guy most girls swoon over. He had messy orange hair, amber eyes, and a peach skin tone. Being the main representative of the student council, he had to wear a school suit while on duty. "How's everyone doing?" He said smiling, making most of the girls' in the council to form sparkles in their eyes. He wore a blue vest over a black dress shirt, white tie, with skinny jeans and blue shoes that looked like Nike KD VI.
Lyone looked at their president with a blank expression, "What is the emergency, Ranmaru?" She said it nonchalantly as she moved strains of hair out of her view.
Ranmaru leaned forward with his hands on the table, "I've heard you guys have been slipping up…" he said coldly.
"Are you gonna punish us?" Jun asked.
Ranmaru grinned, and then began to laugh, "No, not really."
Lyone sighed, "I wondered how long you could keep up that game of yours. To pull off a perfect lie, you must learn to act." She stood up with her hands on her hips and then pointed to Ranmaru.
Jun hung his head, "Lyone, I think you're the best liar out of all of us."
Lyone hit Jun on the head, "Now that hit was the hit of a true performer."
Jun was grabbing his head, "But that really hurt."
Lyone shrugged her shoulders, "Who said fake hits shouldn't hurt."
Ranmaru smirked at his subordinates, "But seriously you guys. I've heard a lot of things that can't be explained have been happening as of late. And our Vice President here" Ranmaru was referring to Lyone, "Has yet to do something about it."
Lyone looked at Ranmaru with fire in her eyes, "Keeping talking boss man and I'll expose those photos of a certain someone you're crushing on."
Ranmaru put on a fake smile, "I forgot you hate being reminded of your short comings…" He returned to a serious state of mind, "Student Council, it's time to crack down and do what we were made for."
Jun raised his hand, "Make sure to help others."
"Torture them when they disobey the rules?" Lyone added with a devilish grin.
"Yes and no, but above all else… We serve to protect our school, we are responsible." Ranmaru stated as all the others agreed.
…
Yurai and the others had made it back to school and were walking into the door just as the bell rang. They all sped up until they stopped after seeing the short Mr. Takai.
Yurai sighed, "Looks like we didn't make it. Right guys?" He looked around and his friends had disappeared. They seemed to have scattered the moment Mr. Takai was spotted coming out of the office. "Ryuuto? Nikki? Little Hex?"
"Mr. Reihou!" Yurai had looked down at Mr. Takai who had suddenly appeared in front of him.
Yurai raised an eyebrow out of suspicion, "How did your little legs get you here so fast? I had no clue you leprechauns were so magically fast."
Mr. Takai reached up and grabbed Yurai by the ear, "That's it Mister! Detention!"
Yurai was wiggling around from the pain of Mr. Takai's death grip, "Don't you have a class to teach! How do you always catch me?!" Yurai was screaming his last words as he was being dragged off.
Just around the hallway, the others (Nikki, Tenshi, Hex, Ryuuto, and Hatsuo) were peeking around the corner.
"Why did he just stand there?" Nikki asked as she face-palmed herself.
"He kinda set himself up for that one." Hatsuo added.
Ryuuto hung his head, "Classic Yurai…"
…
It was later on in the day and classes were going along smoothly. Knocking was heard outside of Ms. Florance's room.
"Plura, would you mind getting the door?" The purple headed teacher asked the girl nearest to the door with black hair.
Plura peered at her teacher for a second before getting up. She looked out the window of the door just before she kicked it open with force. "Hello…"
The door swung open and hit Yurai in the nose sending him to the floor squirming around, "That's not how you open a door! You could've used the sliding button you know!" He yelled in agony, still on the ground.
Plura looked at Yurai, "Opps…" she said it but didn't mean it. She then went back to her desk and picked up a book to read.
Mr. Takai walked into the room with a smile on his face, "Hello Ms. Florance. Yurai is a teacher's tool- I mean helper for today. He's been cleaning all day and I wondered if you had use for him. I'm out of ideas… he's cleaned gutters, toilets, garbage bots, and even washed my car."
Yurai was outside the door crying, "He made me wear a speedo! He's the embodiment of evil and torture!"
Ms. Florance kept her emotionless face and motioned for Yurai to come in, "You may leave now Mr. Takai. I'll find use for him, don't worry."
Mr. Takai walked out with a smile on his face, proud for putting Yurai through what he had for him. "I'll send the repair guy and his bot to you momentarily."
Yurai got on his knees begging, "Please, don't put me through what the tiny demon put me through."
Ms. Florance pointed behind Yurai, "You can help Jay and Tyson with grading some papers."
Yurai smiled, "That sounds reasonable." He went and took a seat beside Tyson and Jay.
"Here's your pile." Jay handed him his stack to grade.
Tyson glanced over at Yurai and then smirked, "Hey Yurai…"
Whatever Tyson had planned had to end badly for Yurai.
…
In Geography class there wasn't much teaching going on. Instead the hot-headed teacher Ms. Laval was rambling on about how useful weaker monsters were if used correctly. "They are easy to bring out and when combined with other cards effects, there's no telling what they can do!"
Raiden was having a simple side conversation with a pretty lady instead of paying attention to his ranting teacher.
"Which card would be best Raiden?" Ms. Laval asked as she held up two cards.
Raiden thought for a moment, trying to grasp what she was talking about, "Ummm… United We Stand?"
"Correct! See someone was listening." Ms. Laval said.
Luna was looking at Raiden, "Yeah, he was totally listening." She started to laugh.
Beside Luna was Raven. She was minding her own business and read a psychology book, ignoring everything around her.
Ms. Laval took a seat in her desk, "I'm done teaching Geography… Free time for you guys."
"Now I can sleep in peace…" Walker said drowsily as he laid his head on the desk.
After school…
"What are we gonna do now?" Ryuuto asked, walking alongside the others.
Yurai scratched his head, "I'm gonna go catch the food network. This week's buffet explosion week."
"Food network?" Jay asked.
"Yurai loves that channel." Hex told Jay.
"We could go to your family's card shop, Arcaine." Jun suggested.
"I forgot your family owned a card shop." Luna said happily. "Hex, wanna buy some cards?"
Hex nodded, "Of course."
Lyone then came out of nowhere and put her arms around Tenshi and Nikki, "Going into town! I'm in, we girls can even go shopping for bikinis and stuff!"
Yurai dug in his ear and looked at his finger when he pulled it out, "Yeah, I think I'll just go home. Don't need new clothes or cards." Yurai then began to walk off, "See you later." He said with a smile on his face.
Lyone grabbed Yurai by the hood of his jacket, "You are coming with us." She said in a disturbing tone. "Cloe, shouldn't he join us."
Cloe nodded, "It would be nice…"
Yurai sighed, "I can't say no to someone as sweet as Cloe…"
Nikki raised an eyebrow, "What do you mean by that!"
Yurai tried to run away, but Lyone really had a good grip, "No! I mean-! Just put me out of my misery…"
"I'm gonna have to prepare for this!" Hatsuo said eagerly.
Jun was happy, "Into the town huh. This is going to be so much fun with all you guys!"
…
Neoki was laid up in his bed inside the school infirmary, looking out of the window at Yurai and his friends. Neoki had been there ever since Yurai signed him in late last night. Neoki was bandaged up around his chest and forehead, leaving him shirtless. He was gripping his stomach as he was sitting up observing his peers, "…"
"You're not going soft on me are you?" Jacob asked as he brought Neoki some books.
Neoki pressed a button beside him, which caused his window to block out the light as it turned dark, "No…" He had turned to Jacob and grabbed his books from him with little strength he had.
Jacob crossed his arms, "Why do you need these relics anyway? You would think someone in the infirmary would use this time to rest, not learn."
Neoki glared at Jacob, "Can I trust you?" he asked blandly.
Jacob smirked, "Not exactly, but since you've been though a lot like losing to Yurai again, I'll think about it."
Neoki gritted his teeth, "It is my first lose against him… The first time, let's just say we were interrupted…" Neoki then coughed heavily. He hung his head over his books from being too weak and on the verge of passing out, "I need you to do something for me…" he opened a book, revealing a page to Jacob.

Hey you guys! Hope this installment was enjoyable. Things are building up again, so stick around. Please R&R and don't forget I have no problem with discussing things about your character with you over PM. Like I've mentioned before, every Oc will have a chapter dedicated to them sooner or later and everyone gets to duel eventually, I just have to move the plot along. *Smiiilllleeeeyyy faaaacccceeee* We can add some things to them, as in personality, cards, add onto their background. Just some stuff before everything is cemented in permanently. And I try my best to reply to reviews so there you have it. I am L.A.P. and I'm gonna go rest… or watch some food network…
