Yugioh GX! Destined Rulers
Chapter 3- Dealing with A Kid

Disclaimer: I only own my OCs and some of their decks.

The next day, after my duel with the 5th best duelist at Duel Academy, Deante Wilson, I was in class, specifically Math. It was my first class. And my professor was Donald Finlord. "Okay, so can you tell me what the radius is of a circumference of a circle that equals 72 pi?" Some people raised their hands, but I wasn't listening. I was thinking about what Ricky had said yesterday.

"I've heard that Amber has the skill level of Joey Wheeler."

"(If Amber is that strong, then I'll have no chance of defeating her. I have to see her cards.)" Then, Mr. Finlord cleared his throat, getting my attention. "And that ends today lesson. But I have something else to tell you. Our very own Amber Calcifer will duel one of the professors tomorrow after 5rd period as part of the Duel Academy tradition. And I can promise that it will be one of the best duels that you guys are ever going to see." The students started to clap. But they stopped when they heard the bell to dismiss class. The students, including myself left.

After 3rd period…

After class, I was walking through the halls when I saw Ricky walking towards me. "Hey, Ricky!"

"*Smile* Hey! What's going on?"

"I found out how to know Amber's dueling skills better."

"Really? How?"

"Well, Amber is going to duel one of the professors tomorrow, so that's when I'll be able to see how she duels."

Ricky remained silent for a second, then he spoke. "I don't know. I mean, I also heard that she has some of Yugi Moto's Spellcasters in her deck."

"Still. There has to be a way for me to defeat her."

"Well, don't worry about it right now." Then, Amber, along with Darrell walked up to the boys. "*Smile* Well, look, Darrell. Zeke Kazuya is here." Amber looked at Ricky. "Along with Ricky Strung. What are you two talking about? Something interesting, I hope."

"Come on, Amber. Don't be mean to the new kid." Darrell said. "Hmph. Fine." Amber started to walk away, but then, she stopped. "I hope that you will be there to see me mop the floor with one of the professors, Zeke." Then, she left. I stared at Amber. "…"

Then, Darrell began to walk until he stopped and turned his head. "If you duel Amber, watch out. She will give you a challenge." Then, he walked away.

I stayed silent. "You okay?" Ricky asked, concerned. "…Yeah. *smile* Let's get something to eat." Ricky smiled and we left for the cafeteria.

The Next Day, the forest…

Walking around, probably lost, was a boy, around 10 years old. "Shoot! I think I'm lost." The kid put his hand to his face like he was looking for something that was very far away. He saw a glimpse of Duel Academy, although he did not know where he was. "I think there's a building. I hope it has food in there." The kid left for the building, and when he got there, he yelled for anyone. "Hello! Is anyone here! I'm lost! I think I accidentally got on the wrong boat!...Hellloo!" But no one answered. "What! Is everyone asleep? It's daytime."

Then, the kid saw the door open and he walked in. He searched around until he found the cafeteria. Unfortunately, it was only 3rd period, so no one was there. But the kid saw plates full of food and he started drooling. "Ah! F-food!" He instantly ran to the plates and started digging through there. Minutes later, a couple of Obelisk Blue students walked into the cafeteria and saw the little kid, eating. "Hey! Kid!" The kid stopped eating and turned his head. "Oh hey! I just found these plates and started eating. "Well, that's too bad. That's our food!"

"*Smile* Do you want it back?"

"Are you taunting us?" asked the taller Obelisk Blue student. The kid raised his duel disk that was on his arm. "If you can win, you two can have your food back. And I'll even duel the two of you at the same time."

"*Growl* Carl! He's insulting us!"

"Let's take him out then. He's only a kid. He can't be that strong!" Said Carl, activating his duel disk. The kid anime-fell. He got back up and smiled. "I guess I will have to prove you two wrong. I am the best duelist in my town. Then, the kid activated his duel disk, followed by the Obelisk's friend.

"Duel!" Yelled the boys. They each drew 5 cards.

Carl: 4000
Friend: 4000
Kid: 4000

It was the end of 3rd period and everyone was just leaving their classes when they heard loud screams coming from close by. Everyone, including some teachers, and me, hurried to the sound. It took only a couple of seconds to find the source of the scream. It came from the cafeteria. The screams came from Carl and his friend.

Carl: 0
Friend: 0
Kid: 500

"W-what happened!" Asked a female professor. "Grr…this…this little kid…he…he beat us….the both of us." Said Carl, laying on the ground. Everyone was shocked. "This kid! Defeated 2 Obelisk Blue Students! How?"

"Ms. Willis. He is strong." Said Carl. Then, Amber and Darrell showed up. "Ms. Willis, what happened?" Asked Darrell. "I don't know. I don't know where this kid came from."

"Hey! Kid!"

"Huh? Yeah, what?"

"Come on, I'm going to call your mom."

"I don't think so."

"Huh?"

"*Smile* I like it here. The food is good, and I love to duel. So I'm staying."

"Yeah, no you're not. I challenge you to a duel."

"Fine."

"I forbid you from dueling this kid, Darrell." Said Ms. Willis. "What! Why?"

"Because you are too strong. I want the newcomers to be able to become stronger by defeating opponents like this." Darrell was about to argue, but then he smiled. "Yes, ma'am. I understand."

"I'll duel him." I said, stepping in front of the crowd. "Kazuya!" Said Amber, surprised. "Is it okay, Ms. Willis?"

"*Smile* Sure. I would love to see you duel again."

"Awesome! Hey, kid! Get ready!" I said as I activated my duel disk. The kid smiled. "Good. I get to duel someone else." The kid put down a piece of bread and activated his duel disk.

"Duel!" Yelled the boy and I. We both drew 5 cards.

Zeke: 4000
Kid: 4000

"First, my name is Tommy, and I'll go first." Tommy drew a card. (6). "I activate Painful Choice. You have to choose one of the 5 cards that I pick up from my deck." Tommy drew 5 cards and showed them to me. They were Mother Grizzly, Flying Kamakiri, #1 Ceremonial Bell, Sonic Bird and Mystic Tomato.

"(Oh no. This is bad. All of those cards can give him an advantage against me.)" I thought for a minute, then chose. "Mystic Tomato."

Tommy smiled as he placed that card in his hand and the rest In the graveyard. (6). "I set 1 monster face down and 3 cards face down and end my turn." 3 cards appeared behind Tommy. (3).

"My turn, draw!" I drew a card and picked another from my hand and played it. "First, I summon Momo Hinamori (LV 4) in attack mode." The bun haired girl appeared. (ATK: 1400)(5).

"Next, I attack that face down monster." Momo ran up and kicked Tommy's monster, revealing it to be a small, pink rat. "*Smile* Thanks. That was my Bubonic Vermin(LV 3) and when it is flipped up, I can summon another from my deck face down." Bubonic Vermin disappeared as quickly as another face down card appeared in its place.

"I set 2 cards face down and end my turn." 2 cards appeared behind me. (3).

Darrell was still watching the duel, but he was also thinking. "Hmmm…" Amber noticed and raised a brow. "What's wrong, Darrell?"

"I'm…going to go and see if I can a way to contact this boy's family. I want you to stay here and find out who wins this duel. Then, come and tell me. Okay?"

Amber nodded and Darrell walked away. "(Zeke…He's strong…*Smile* There's no way I won't be promoted to the Pro Leagues after I win against that brat.)"

"My turn, draw!" Tommy drew a card. (4). "First, I activate my Trap, Time Seal." A seal appeared on top of my deck, surprising me. "What! What is that?"

"It's Time Seal. It prevents you from drawing next turn. Then, I tribute my face down monster to summon Jinzo(LV 6) in attack mode." An android, one of Joey Wheeler's best cards, appeared. (ATK: 2400)(3).

"Next, I activate 2 Equip Spell cards, Axe of Despair and Malevolent Nuzzler. These Spell cards give Jinzo 1700 ATK points." Jinzo gained an axe and a ring, powering him up. (ATK: 4100)(1).

"Now, Jizno, attack Momo." Jinzo raised his hand and blasted Momo, destroying her. "Ahh!"

Zeke: 1300
Tommy: 4000

"I end my turn."

"*Pant* My turn. But I could not draw. "I summon Rukia Kuchiki(LV 4) in attack mode." The small, boy haircut soul reaper, appeared. (ATK: 1700)(2).

"Then, I activate Crime Summon. This Spell card allows you to summon a monster from your graveyard."(1)

Tommy was confused. "What? You're trying to help me?"

"No, because your monster is summoned in attack mode." Tommy was shocked. "Fine! If I have to, I summon Mother Grizzly(LV 4) in attack mode." A blue, female grizzly, appeared and roared. (ATK: 1400).

"Now, Rukia, attack Mother Grizzly." Rukia ran up and med-kicked the bear, destroying her.

Tommy: 3700
Zeke: 1300

"*Smile* Thanks to you, stupid, I can summon a WATER monster from my deck, and I choose Archery Girl(LV 4) in attack mode." A mermaid, carrying a bow and arrow, in a shell, appeared. (ATK: 1400).

"I set 1 card face down and end my turn." A card appeared behind me. (0).

"I draw!" Tommy drew.

Meanwhile…

Darrell was in the Chancellor's office, on the phone. "Hello? Yes. This is Darrell Kushiro and I am reporting a missing child."

"Okay. Do you know the child's name?" Asked a female's voice. "Yes, but only his first name; Tommy."

"Tommy?"

"Yes."

Back at the police station, the woman was talking to Darrell and she signaled another woman to come here. A woman, around 30 years old, wearing a sun dress, came up to the counter. "Yes?"

"I am talking to a kid at a school who says that he may have seen your kid at his school."

"Really? At what school?"

"Sir, what school do you attend?"

"Duel Academy, ma'am."

"Duel Academy? Okay. I'll tell his mom." The woman held the phone to her shoulder. "Ma'am. He is currently at Duel Academy."

"Duel Academy? But's it'll take 2 days for me to get there."

"So, what do you to do, ma'am?"

The mom thought for a minute. "*Sigh* Okay. I'll go to Duel Academy."

"Okay." The police officer placed the phone to her ear and smiled. "Okay, sir. Tommy's mom will be there in 2 days."

"Actually, I could meet her half way, if she doesn't mind."

"*Smile* Great. You guys will meet on the sea, halfway, Darrell Kushiro."

But at a table, close to where the mom was sitting, a man with a white beard, was there, smiling. "(Well. Darrell Kushiro, eh? I think he will be…surprised when he sees me again. Haha!)"

"Okay, well, I'll start heading towards Duel Academy today." Said the mom. "Okay, I'm glad I could help." The police officer said, smiling. The mom nodded and started heading to the station doors. But the man from earlier stopped her. "Um, ma'am."

"Yes?"

"Do you mind if I come with you?"

"Excuse me?"

"Well, I overheard that the police officer was talking to Darrell Kushiro, and he's my…um, nephew. And I have not seen him in a few years."

"*Smile* Oh, well. Sure! You can come with me."

"*Smile* Thank you!" The man and woman headed out the doors.

The police officer hung up the phone, followed by Darrell, and then he headed back to the duel.

Tommy drew a card. (2). His hand contained Mystic Tomato and Celtic Guardian. "I summon Celtic Guardian in DEF mode." An armored warrior with purple markings below his eyes, carrying a sword, appeared. (DEF: 1200)(1).

"Now, Jinzo, attack Rukia and end this duel!" Jinzo raised his hand and trey to blast me. "It's over! Zeke cannot win!" Cried a boy.

"He's finished! He can't even activate his Trap cards!" Cried another boy. Amber stared at Zeke. Then, spoke.

"He won't lose."

"Huh? What do you mean, Amber?"

"I mean, one of those face down cards is a Spell card. One that will save him."

"Really?"

Jinzo blasted me, but not before I activated my Spell card. My two other face down cards disappeared.

Zeke: 3300
Tommy: 3700

Jinzo destroyed Rukia.

Zeke: 900

"What! How did you survive!" I weakly smiled and held up a card. "I used Emergency Provisions Spell card, sending my other 2 Trap cards to the graveyard to give me 2000 life points, letting me survive this duel."

"Go. And can we hurry up? I'm hungry."

"My turn. I draw!" I said, ignoring him. (1).

"I activate Reaper Domination. First, you gain 1000 Life points, but I can draw 3 cards and destroy your Jinzo." Tommy was surprised as soul reaper appeared and slashed Jinzo, destroying him, but also rejuvenating Tommy.

Tommy: 4300

Then, I drew 3 cards. (3).

Then, the soul reaper turned and slashed me.

Zeke: 400

"A…although, I lose 500 Life points because I do not control a Soul Reaper. But now, I activate Soul Call. This spell card special summons a Soul Reaper from my hand. And from my hand, I summon the captain, Toshiro Hitsugaya (LV 6) in attack mode." A little kid with turquoise eyes and short, spiked, white hair, wearing a standard sleeveless captain's haori with a green sash around his shoulders, held together by a round, star-like clip, appeared. (ATK: 2400)(1).

Then, Darrell returned and stood beside Amber, who noticed. "So, you find his parents?"

"Yeah. His mom. I'm going to meet her halfway."

"Need me to come with you. Make sure you don't get into any trouble?"

Darrell smiled. "Funny. No, I can handle it."

"Suit yourself."

"So, what about the duel? Who's winning?"

"The better question is: Who's about to win?"

"…Really. So, what's…or who's the answer?"

"Kazuya…"

Darrell remained silent and stared at me.

"Then, I activate Heavy Storm. I can destroy all Spell and Trap cards on your field."

"What! Cried Tommy. Then, a fierce storm occurred and destroyed Tommy's cards.

"Finally, Hitsugaya, attack Tommy directly!" Hitsugaya ran up and punched Tommy.

Tommy: 0
Zeke: Winner

"Alright! You won!" Yelled a kid. Then, he started clapping along with other people. Darrell looked on and smiled. But Amber, she growled. "He has to be defeated!" She said to herself. Then, everyone became quiet as Chancellor Riki appeared. "What is all the commotion! The lunch ladies told me that there was a duel going on!"

"Yeah, there was! Until Zeke handled it!" Yelled a kid. "Really?" Then, Riko saw Tommy. "Who is this?"

"That is Tommy, and somehow he ended up on this island." Said Darrell, stepping up. "Well…" Riko walked up to Tommy and kneeled. "Where did you come from, little boy?"

"I got on the wrong boat. I was supposed to go to New York. But the boats are stupid! They all look the same!"

"Okay, well, I have to take you back to your mother."

"Sir. I talked to his mother and we are going to meet halfway." Said Darrell. "Okay. Thank you."

"But I don't want to leave. I like it here!"

'Sorry, buddy. But you lost the duel. You have to go."

"…*Growl* Fine!" Darrell, along with a couple of security guards grabbed the kid. "I want to you to take back up with you, just in case."

"Okay." Darrell let go of the kid and headed outside, to the boat, along with the security guards, who were still holding the kid. "Hmmm…" Said Amber.

"Okay! Everyone, its lunchtime! Get some lunch, please!" Everyone dispersed to get some lunch, except for Riko and Ms. Willis, who went back to his office and to her class, respectively, and Amber who secretly followed Darrell. Deante saw Amber and narrowed his eyes. "Where is she going?" Then, he followed Amber.

Author's Note: I hope you guys liked it! I gave Amber the initial personality of a mean girl, but it might…change…maybe. Anyway, I will give you guys a treat and let someone else duel next episode. Please R&R.

P.S.- Umm…I'm sorry this chapter was not as long as the last two. I will make it up to you guys by making the next chapter longer than any of my other ones and (hopefully) interesting. I hope you understand.
