Hello! Dunno what bug crawled into my brain and died during the last chapter, but now I'm over it (I think). Anyways, this chapter's back into the dueling action, and it proves that I am a total, utter nerd. Here's why: Chandra's deck is made out of antimatter monsters. Now, every time I talk about antimatter, I launch into a huge lecture about it and how awesome it is. So, before I can, I'm just going to say thanks to Annie Matsukaze for favoriting this story and get right to the chapter.

Judai's POV

After eating all of the fried shrimp in the cafeteria and getting his shoes from his room, Judai went back outside and saw that Chandra's duel was about to start. Thankfully, he was just in time to see Chandra's opponent make the first move.

"I summon Winged Golemn in defense mode (lv.2/def:1100/atk:1200)!" the Ra girl called out. "Your go."

Chandra sighed as she drew, seeming really reluctant to go. "In that case, I play Shadow Summon. That allows me summon out two antimatter monsters level 2 or below as long as I remove them from play when they are destroyed. And I chose two Anti-Slashers in attack mode (lv.1/atk:0/def:0)."

"Why waste your time specially summoning two monsters that don't have attack or defense points?"

"Angela, that's because they are Antimatter monsters. Normal rules don't apply to Antimatter monsters. All of them need to be special summoned. And because they are the exact opposite of normal monsters, they cannot be destroyed or even attacked by other monsters unless they are also made of anti-matter."

"What?" the girl named Angela cried out. "Is that even legal? How can anyone beat you if they can't attack you?"

"It's perfectly legal, because the special abilities of my monsters aren't exactly beneficial to me either. Everytime I want to summon one of them, I have to special summon them. And everytime I want to make a successful attack, I have to have another spell card for that. Most of my monsters usually have little to no attack points, and they can still be destroyed by any monster whose effect negates the abilities of other monsters. Plus, I cannot choose my monster's battle position as long as there are an equal amount of monsters out on your side of the field. The easiest way to damage my lifepoints is to use spell cards. In other words, we're in stalemate unless we use some very helpful spells and traps.

"That being said," Chandra continued, "I'll throw two cards face down and end my turn."

"Okay then, I play Sword Knight in attack mode (lv.4/atk:1200/def:900)," Angela said, still looking confused.

"By the 'Anti' effect, one of my Akumas is forced to defense mode."

"Um, alright then... I activate my Sword Knight's effect. By sacrificing him and my Golem, the combined attack points are deducted from your life points!"

"Not so fast," Chandra said, sweeping her hand over one of her traps. "You've activated my trap card, Black Hole! By this card's effect, all of the monsters on my side of the field are destroyed, removing them from play. Depending on how many monsters were destroyed, that is how many turns that Black Hole gets to stay in play. Two monsters were destroyed, meaning that I cannot be touched by any from you damage for two turns."

"However, playing Black Hole has set off my other trap, White Hole. When Black Hole is played, all damage and attacks are taken in, and are lost in an endless maze. White Hole has the ability to spit them back out. This is a risk to both of us, because there is no way to predict where the damage will come out. If the White Hole ends up on my field, that means that I recieve the damage. But if it's your side of the field, then it takes up one of your monster slots for the two turns that Black Hole is in play, and you recieve any damage that you sent into the Black Hole."

The moments seemed to slow down as Chandra waited to see what side the the White Hole would show up on. Her heart sank when she saw a white cloud-looking thing appeared on her side of the field.

Something dark came out of the cloud and lanced through her, taking her life points down to 1600. "Damn," Chandra hissed a hand clutching at her chest for a second. "I always did have terrible luck."

Angela started laughing. "You had me scared there for a second, Slifer! I almost believed that you had a chance of winning this duel, but you just willingly dealt yourself damage. You're such an idiot. With my deck, one more hit and you're through. Unfortunately, it's your turn."

"My draw then," Chandra said, pulling another card. "I play the spell card Supernova, which destroys all of my spell cards on my side of the field. But in order to activate it, I have to send one card in my hand to the graveyard."

"That does you no good!" Angela cackled. "You would only have one card left in your hand and you can't even to use it if it's a monster!"

"True. It's the card in my hand that I plan to use though. The one I sent to the graveyard is the one you have to be concerned about."

"And why's that? It's in the graveyard."

"Right again. But tell me, Miss Teacher's Pet. Do you remember what I told you earlier about this deck? Normal rules don't apply to my monsters. Meaning that if, on the rare occasion where my monsters are merely sent to the grave, instead of being removed from play, they are automatically summoned to my side of the field."

"And the monster that I now summon is the Anti-Angel (lv.12/atk:0/def:0)."

"It's a level twelve, but it still doesn't have any attack or defense points," Angela pointed out, confused.

"Not yet. Not until I play it's special ability. By my Angel's special effect, I can pull a spell card out of my deck, and the card I chose is Reverse Polarity, which is big trouble for you. Normally, it would cause my monsters to become normal monsters and yours to become 'Anti' monsters for a turn. In the end, it wouldn't make a difference because I still wouldn't be able to attack you.

"But since you don't have any monsters on your side of the field, only my Angel is affected. And when my monsters are switched to being normal monsters, they recieve attack points that suits their level. Being level twelve, that means that my Angel gets 4000 attack points!"

Angela could only gasp and try to speak, but no words actually came to being. "Angel, attack Angela directly!"

And with one strike, Angela lost the duel. Judai found himself feeling excited. He thought about how awesome it would be to duel against Chandra's deck.

Chandra didn't really seem to share his enthusiasm. When she found him a few minutes later, she looked really annoyed. "Okay, a deal's a deal. I'm officially part of the tournament. Happy?"

Judai nodded with a smile.

"Well, don't expect me to be in it long. I just got lucky in the last duel."

"What are you talking about, Chandra? Your deck is awesome!" Judai said.

"If you say so."

So how did you like the antimatter deck? Really weird, huh? Maybe sometime in the near future, Judai might get his wish and duel against Chandra.
