I don't own Yu-Gi-Oh GX!
Chapter 3 up and running! Oh my god, that took forever (mostly because of school) but the good news is that I only have 3 and a half weeks of school left and then it's summer! And you guys know what the means? More chapters and shorter time waits! Oh and thanks you guys for those amazing reviews for this on last chapter. You guys are truly amazing. Anyway, I had fun writing this and a lot of fun with Jaden and Chazz first duel against each other. On that note, never and I mean never take one of Jaden's cards or it's not going to be pretty XD. Also some shipping in this chapter but of who you have to find out. Well enough about that, let's get down to the action! R&R everyone!
Edited 6/10/15- So with this chapter, I just fixed some more grammar mistakes and such. I also realized how much I like to make that Death Note joke during this whole story and this was before I even watched the anime XD Great, I turned Haou into Light (oh the irony (love that joke too btw lol)
...
A day has pasted since Haou had beaten Masika in a duel and all the new Duel Academy students were still on the cruise ship heading towards the island, but not too long ago, the captain of the ship had said over the intercom that they would be arriving in a few minutes.
Jaden and Haou were in their room once more, neither one of them was saying a word to the other as they were during their own thing. Jaden was sitting on the floor, his back pressed against the bed frame, going through a box that was given to all the new students before they got on the ship. Inside the box was his school uniform and PDA for all his academy needs and knowledge. As for Haou, the dark overlord was sitting on his bed, going through his deck and changing a few cards up, most of them being spells and traps since he rarely changed his Evil HEROES for other monsters. Yubel was also in the room with them, leaning against the wall with her arms crossed over her chest. She was glancing from one twin to the other with a look of annoyance on her face since neither one of them had spoken a word to the other since the duel the other day.
Finally, the Guardian of the Gentle Darkness kings had it. "Are you two really still fighting? For calling out loud, I would have thought you two would have been over this by now."
Jaden thought the same thing too but he said nothing to that but instead gazed up at his older brother. He hated fighting with Haou but he hated the fact knowing that he or himself had hurt someone because they got a little mad and lost control of their powers. Taking a deep breath and swallowing his pride, Jaden said, "look Haou, I'm sorry okay. I just-"
"I know what you're going to say, Jaden, and you're right, that was uncalled for." Haou mumbled back taking Jaden by surprised. "I got annoyed and lost it." He shook his head before he looked over at Jaden fully. "So what did you get in the packet?" He asked trying to change the subject.
Jaden stared at his brother for a few seconds since he gave up that fight way to quickly, (for the Yuki's, a long fight would be for about a week; a day and a half was pretty quick for them) but knowing Haou, he was thinking about some other things in his mind so he didn't feel like fighting and just gave up. Jaden chose to see that as a good thing and smiled as he pulled out his school blazer from the box and placed it on over his black t-shirt.
The blazer was red that extended to Jaden's waist. It had a band which matched the color of the jacket at the cuffs of the arms. It had a white band around the shoulders that had a snap or button to keep it closed and another band which also matches the color of the jacket wraps around the bottom of the jacket which also serves the purpose of keeping the jacket closed but Jaden left his open for the moment. There was also a white decorative shape with a darker red border on the chest of the blazer.
Haou just raised an eyebrow. He read somewhere that if you got Red in Duel Academy then you were at rock bottom. Sure Jaden sucked at taking test and doing any kind of homework but his dueling skills made up for it. Something told Haou that Crowler had something to do with this and was going to say something to Jaden about it but he didn't since Jaden looked like a child who just got what they really wanted during Christmas.
"Sweet, isn't it guys?" Jaden asked with a grin. "I just happened to get my blazer in my favorite color!"
Yubel chuckled at that. "Well luck is always on your side, Jaden, besides those off times when everything goes to hell at that very moment." She shrugged before she glanced over to Haou's side of the room and saw that his pocket was still sealed up. "I believe it's your turn, your highness."
Haou shot her a death glare before he sighed and took the box off the ground and opened it. The dark king narrowed his eyes at what he found. He pulled out a red blazer that was just like Jaden's.
Jaden grinned widen at that. "I guess you're going to have wear something else that isn't black or gold after all, bro."
"I wouldn't be so sure about that, Jaden." Haou replied and before Jaden could ask what he meant, a wave of dark energy appeared around Haou's blazer and changed the red color to black and the white to golden.
"Okay...I'm glad I didn't place money on that." Jaden joked as Haou took off his leather jacket and replaced it with his recolored blazer and left his opened like Jaden's.
"Yeah, lucky you," Haou agreed and right after he said that, someone started speaking over the intercom again.
"Attention new Academy duelists, this is your captain speaking, if you look outside, you'll see your new home away from home."
"Wait, we're here?" Jaden's eyes changed to brown as he took off out of the room.
Haou shook his head with a sigh. "I sometimes wonder if Jaden has ADHD." He mumbled making Yubel laugh as she disappeared while the other Yuki walked out of the room to see the island himself.
Like the captain said, the island was getting closer and closer into sight as the cruise ship was about to arrive at it. From the view right now, all that everyone saw was a big island with a large forest covering it and Haou happened to notice a volcano on one side of the island too. The dark twin smirked a little knowing he could have a lot of fun with it but the main reason why the Yuki twins were here was the building in the middle of the island. The Academy building was a silver color with four tan spires and three dishes in the middle going downwards. The first one was blue followed by yellow and at the bottom was red.
"Oh yeah, now this is going to be sweet." Jaden grinned as he shared a high five with his brother.
Haou nodded to that. Sure, he didn't want to come here in the first place but he had to agree with his younger brother that this place did look pretty nice. Plus, it also helped when Haou felt a dark energy coming from right under the island.
...
After everyone got off the cruise ship, the freshman class was sent to a lecture classroom that you would see in a college university with a large monitor in the front. The room had to be filled with at least 50 or more students and the Kings of the Gentle Darkness just happened to be the crowd.
Haou was standing far away from almost everyone since he hated being a part of large groups of people. Jaden had wondered off to go talk to his new found friend, Syrus, but when Haou went to go check on him, Jaden was asleep while standing up. It didn't take much to get him bored out of his mind.
So Haou was back in his corner with his arms crossed over his chest, waiting for this meeting to start and be over with as fast as it could.
"Hey moody, what are you doing back here all alone?"
Haou glanced out the corner of his eye to see Masika skipping over to him…that is, until she tripped over her own boots and fell over onto the ground right in front of the past king. "Stupid boots!" She groaned with a laugh as she stood back up. "I just made a fool out of myself, didn't I?"
Haou had to stare at her for a few seconds. He had just beaten her in a duel not too long ago and she hadn't ran away from him in terror? Instead, she just did the exact opposite? She was either really stupid like Crowler or just really brave. He was leaning more towards the first choice. "Pretty much," He replied looking away but that wasn't easy to tell since he was wearing his sunglasses.
"Yeah, I'm the fool of the year." Masika giggled not paying one bit of close attention to how Haou was trying to ignore her. "Anyway, I had a blast during our duel yesterday! Those Evil HEROES of yours are amazing! We have got to duel again sometime!"
That made Haou look right back at her. Okay, either this girl is insane or I'm losing it. Again, Haou was going towards the first choice when Masika got right in his face, freaking the Evil HERO duelist out on the inside but didn't let it show on the outside.
"By the way, how did you do those amazing effects? You know like how you made it look like you had a dark aura around yourself and made the attacks from your monsters feel so real?" Masika asked Haou, their faces only inches apart from each other. "You have got to show me! I want to learn how to do that! Plus you also got to tell me where did you get a black and golden blazer from? That is so cool!"
"Weren't you scared?" Haou asked before he realized what he was saying. When he did, he cursed at himself in his head.
Masika blinked a few times at his question as she moved back from him, realizing how close they were. She blushed a little but smiled as she answered, "yeah, uh course I was scared. But after you left, I thought it was the coolest thing ever! Remind me to invite you to my cousin's Halloween party next year." She laughed.
Haou had no words for this girl anymore and still couldn't come up with anything as the monitor in front of the room finally turned on. Haou looked up at it and on the screen was a bald man with a goatee around his chin who was dressed in a darker version of the red blazer with a shirt and tie.
"Good morning and welcome my students," the man said with a smile. "I am Chancellor Sheppard, the headmaster here and you are the best and brightest young duelists in the world. Now please, get yourselves settled in at your assigned dorms. I hope you find them quite comfortable, depending on how you ranked that is." He finished with a light chuckle as the screen clicked off and people started leaving the area to go check out their dorms and get unpacked then to explore the island.
"Well I guess that's the sign to leave." Masika said with a smile and as she turned to leave, she tripped over her boots once more and started falling forwards.
Haou noticed this and grabbed her by the wrist before she could hit the ground. However, when he noticed what he just did, Haou quickly let go of her arm and Masika hit the ground still. Oh god, what's wrong with me?! Haou wondered, freaking out again on the inside but still wasn't showing it on the outside. He really knew how to hide his emotions. "Uh...sorry..." He said quickly.
Masika just laughed a little as she stood back up and dusted herself off. "Hey, it's fine. My fault anyway...Well see you around...moody." She giggled as she started walking off, without tripping this time, over to a group of Obelisk girls before they left the area.
Haou could only stand there for a few minutes since he had no idea what the heck just happened. Soon he just sighed and walked over to Jaden who was still asleep. He poked his brother a few times before he finally woke up and looked at him with sleepy eyes that were changing from Yubel's to his once normal brown.
Jaden yawned as he asked, "sorry...what I miss?"
"I have no idea." Haou answered as he looked away making Jaden raise an eyebrow at him but chose not to question him.
...
A few minutes later, Jaden and Haou were outside of the school building, looking through their PDAs. Syrus was also with them, dressed in red, who was sitting on one of the school's stone decorations. Jaden was sitting on the same one but on the other side while Haou was standing a bit away from both of them, leaning against a tree.
"Well guys, it looks like I'm in the Slifer Red dorm." Jaden said with a grin since he was checking to see what dorm he was in. He loved it that he was getting his favorite color for everything around here.
"Cool, same with me." Syrus replied with a smile of his own since he was sharing a dorm and a room with his new friend.
"What dorm are you in, bro?" Jaden asked looking over at his brother.
"Slifer," Haou answered with a small growl under his breath. Don't get him wrong, he wanted nothing to do with those slobs at Obelisk Blue but for crying out loud, he and Jaden both should have gotten into blue or at least Ra Yellow since they pretty much owned Crowler in front of everyone. Speaking of the Obelisk Headmaster, Haou was seriously thinking about dropping his sorry butt into that volcano he saw on his way here. An evil grin formed on his face from the thought just as Bastion came walking out of the building and was heading over to them.
Jaden waved to him before he asked, "hey Bastion, are you in Red too?"
Bastion looked like he was trying not to laugh as he answered, "let's see, yellow sleeves, yellow buttons, I don't think so."
Jaden blinked a few times at that before he went, "oh...so that's why we're in red." Haou face palmed from embarrassment.
"Please tell me you didn't just figure that out?" Bastion asked which got him a fake glare from Jaden.
"So what? Ever think that maybe I was color blind?" Jaden asked with a play full growl while Haou chuckled a little. Jaden had better eye sight than anyone else on this island because of his powers of the Gentle Darkness and from being fused with Yubel so to him, Haou thought it would be funny to see Jaden color blind with Yubel's eyes.
"Actually no; are you color blind?"
Jaden smirked at that as he shook his head. "No but I could have been." Bastion laughed a little at that before he started to walk away. "See you around the dorms then!"
"I doubt that." Bastion replied over his shoulder. "Your dorm is over there." He said pointing over to somewhere which made Jaden and Syrus both blink while Haou raised an eyebrow.
...
"This is our dorm? It's an outhouse with a deck." Syrus said with a frown as he was staring at the so called Slifer Red dorm.
The Slifer Red dorm turned out to be a small little yellow outhouse with a red roof and a deck to the second floor.
You have got to be freaking kidding me. Haou thought who was also looking up at the Slifer dorm. Okay, Crowler is going to get a death note for this.
Unlike the other two, Jaden was smiling as he was looking on the bright side of things. He was standing on the second floor, enjoying the flesh air. "Are you kidding me? This place is great! Check out the view! We got our dorm next to the ocean! Think of all the beach parties we can throw!" Jaden wasn't really the party type but again, he was trying to brighten up the mood at having the worse dorm ever as his brother had said when he first saw this place. "Oh right, so this here is our room, Sy." He said as he turned the knob on the first door of the second floor and opened it to his and his new friend's room.
Inside the room was a two-seated deck along the left wall, a window straight across from the door, a three-person bunk bed along the right wall, and a little stove with some cabinets beneath it and over it near the door. But all in all, the room looked like something you would find in a used store.
"It's kinda small," Syrus replied from the doorway after he came up the stairs while Jaden walked into the room.
"Hey, you're a small guy." Jaden replied with a grin as Syrus walked into the room to stand next to him. "Anyway, I like it. This will make a sweet pad for our first year here."
"Yeah but isn't it kinda weird meeting up at the entrance exams and now roommates?" Syrus said before he got this weird crazy grin on his face. "Think we were connected in some kind of ancient life, Jaden? You know like you were an Egyptian Pharaoh and I was the Guardian Seto?"
Jaden turned his head at that and also when he heard a chuckle from the doorway to see his brother standing there with a devilish grin. "Pharaoh no, king yes." Haou said as he shook his head with a dark laugh. "Oh irony, you have got to love it." Syrus looked confused at that like he was missing something here.
"He's right, Jaden, it is pretty funny but mostly about his thoughts about being your guardian." Yubel laughed in Jaden's head. "Sorry but that's already taken."
Jaden made no comment to either one of them as he looked over at Syrus with a creeped out look on his face. "No offense, Sy, but that's just lame."
"Well it could be true," Syrus pointed out with a frown.
"Irony," Haou said once more with another dark chuckle before he started heading next door to where his room was at.
Jaden just shook his head at his brother as he left before he looked back over at Syrus. "No way, they would've broken the mold when they made the two of us."
"Yeah for different reasons..." Syrus mumbled under his breath with a sigh.
"Sy, we're gonna have to work on that confidence of yours." Jaden said scratching his chin before he walked over to the window since the curtains were shut and opened them. "But first, let's work on this pad!"
"Hey! Those were closed for a reason!" A voice yelled which took the two boys by surprised. Jaden closed the curtains and he and Syrus looked at the top bunk since that's where the voice had came from.
"Oh sorry," Syrus said as Jaden scratched the back of his head from embarrassment.
"Yeah, we didn't see you up there." Jaden added sheepishly.
"Well can you see me now?!" The covers were pulled back revealing the person who the two boys got mad. It was a heavy-set boy dressed in a senior year Slifer Red uniform that was white with red trimmings. The boy's face looked like a koala.
Syrus screamed in terror from the angry expression on the boy's face while Jaden just stood there and stared. Not many things scared him much anymore since he was after all sharing his body and soul with a dragon demon and his twin brother was pretty much the devil when he really got mad.
"Will you stop your screaming?!" The koala boy yelled in anger and annoyance as he raised a fist at them before lowing it to ask, "who are you two and what are you doing in my room?!"
"Oh, I'm Jaden Yuki and that's Syrus." Jaden answered as he pointed at his friend who finally was able to stop screaming bloody murder before he continued. "And we're your new-" Jaden paused for a second when the boy turned over to his side so he wasn't looking at them or was trying to go back to asleep. Either one was believable. "-roommates." Jaden finished before he looked over at Syrus with a frown. And I thought Haou was antisocial. He thought.
"You're new alright, so let me tell you how things work around here." The guy mumbled.
"Like when parent's visit is?" Syrus asked which made Jaden look down at the ground for a second as he mumbled something under his breath that kinda sounded like a curse before he raised his head so he could listen to what this older boy had to say.
"Duh, like how the whole color thing works. That's more important than anything…" The boy turned back over so he was looking over at them. "We got three different color students here. There are the Obelisk Blue students, the Ra Yellow students, and the Slifer Red students. Now blue students are the highest rank here; most from grades and others from connections. The yellow students are the second highest. They are mostly younger students that have lot of potential. Then there are us, the red wonders."
"The wonders, that's a pretty cool name," Syrus mumbled with a small smile.
"As in, 'I wonder how rejects like us made it even this far.' Yeah sorry, this is how far it goes for us: the dueling losers. Oh and I'm Chumley by the way." He added with a yawn before he turned over to go back to sleep.
Syrus frowned at that while Jaden started to think some things over in his head.
...
Meanwhile in the room next to Jaden's, Haou was busy fixing up his new home with some help from his powers. Before, it looked just like his brother's but thanks to Haou's use of the Gentle Darkness, it looked new and improved.
The faded away yellow color that once painted the walls of the room was now a pure black as night color. The wooden ceiling was also the same color but above Haou's bed was a ceiling paining of a full blue moon with golden stars around it. Hey what could he say? Haou loved the night sky but he would never say that out loud. Also speaking of his bed, he changed it so it would be a one person bed that was now right next to the window. He left the desk and stove the same and the only thing else he changed was the floor color which was a faded away pink but now was a bright blue color.
Currently, the dark lord was now just chilling out on his bed, enjoying the few minutes of peace he could get until you know who would show up.
"Wow Haou, I love what you done with the place. All we need now is some dead bodies and we're set!"
"Yeah, good luck with that, Magician." Haou replied glazing over at his female field who was sitting on top of his desk as he sat up on his bed. "Look, you can feel the dark energy here too right?"
Magician rolled her eyes at his stupid question. "You mean the dark energy that coming from underneath this very island at this very moment? Nope, haven't felt a thing."
"Don't you even dare start this bull crap, Magician." Haou snarled at her. "Just take some of the Evil HEROES and see where this dark energy is coming from. I need to know."
"Why so you can take it all for yourself?" Magician questioned. "Yeah not being selfish one bit, you jerk."
"Just do it." Haou ordered starting to lose his patients again with her.
Magician tapped her fingers on the wooden desk while putting on a fake thinking face. "Should I?" She shrugged as she jumped off the desk. "Well I'm bored anyway so..." She snapped her fingers, making herself disappear.
Haou rolled his eyes after she left. "I really need to put a restraining order on her." He mumbled as he stood up and walked over to his door. He opened it just a crack and peeked outside. He raised an eyebrow when he saw that Jaden and Syrus were walking off to somewhere. Where are those two heading off to?
...
"There's some kind of duel action going on in there." Jaden said over his shoulder as he ran up to the school building and went inside.
After their talk in the Slifer Red room with Chumley, Jaden and Syrus decided to take a walk around the island to get the layout of things. Then Jaden's spider sense for dueling started to go off and now here they were inside the school building trying to see what was setting Jaden's senses off.
"How do you know?" Syrus asked as he finally caught up with him since Jaden was a pretty fast runner when he wanted to be.
"I just know," Jaden answered as he went thought the hallway. "It's over this way, I'm sure of it."
"How can you be so sure? Do you have some sick sense for dueling or something?"
Jaden stopped at a corner and raised his head with his eyes closed. "It's in the air, Syrus, can't you just smell it?" He asked as he reopened his eyes and turned left to an opening of a room.
"Yeah maybe if today's pollen count was lower." Syrus mumbled as he followed him into the room. "Are you sure we should be in here?"
"Wow…to cool…wow." Jaden said in awe as he looked around the room. They had just walked into this giant dueling arena with row after row of seats for the stands. In the middle of the room was the dueling field with a bunch of wires coming out of it.
"This is the sweetest dueling arena I've ever seen!" Jaden grinned. 'Yubel, are you seeing this right now?!'
"Yeah I am, Jay." The female demon replied in his head. "Now just don't burst from excitement on me." Jaden grinned widen at that.
"Yeah no kidding, I bet it would be amazing to duel here." Syrus agreed with what Jaden said early as he was looking around the room in just as much awe.
Jaden looked at him and his grin turned into a smirk. "Then let's find out shall we?"
"Are you sure we're even allowed?"
"Sure we're allowed, we're students here and this is our campus."
"Wrong! This is the Obelisk Blue campus."
"And you Slifer Red rejects aren't allowed here."
Jaden and Syrus both blinked a few times before they noticed they weren't the only ones in here. Taiyou and Raizou, from the entrance exams who were with Chazz, were standing there glaring at the two Slifers with hate filled looks.
"Uh sorry, we were just looking around. No harm done right?" Syrus asked nervously before he looked at Jaden. "But we're leave now, right Jay?" He said to the person that got them into this mess.
Jaden looked from the small boy back to the Obelisks. Are you kidding me? I want to try this dueling field out! He thought as his smirk reappeared on his face. "We don't have to leave as long as one of you guys agrees to duel me. I can be a guest duelist."
"Hey wait a minute…you're one of those kids that beat Crowler." Taiyou said in surprised.
"Hey Chazz! One of those kids that beat Dr. Crowler is here! Check it out!" Raizou yelled to the stands which made the Slifer Red boys look up to where he was yelling at.
Coming down the stands was none other than Chazz himself who just narrowed his eyes when he looked at the Slifers.
"Oh hey, what's up? My name's Jaden and he's Chuzz was it?" Jaden asked since he just forgotten the third boy's name. That made Chazz growl in annoyance at Jaden's cluelessness while Yubel chuckle in the back of his mind.
"His name is Chazz Princeton and he was the number one duelist back in Duel Prep School so you better show some respect!" Taiyou snapped.
"Yeah, he's going to be the future King of Games; the best duelist in the world!" Raizou added.
Jaden scoffed as he crossed his arms over his chest, "impossible."
"Say what?!"
"It's impossible for him to be the future King of Games since that's what I'm going to be." Jaden answered as he pointed at himself. "Well me or my brother anyway but let's face it, if it comes down to us, I'm going to win." Though in the back of his mind, Jaden would have been happy just to share the title with Haou. They did share the title of Supreme King when they were the same person in their past life so Jaden couldn't see why that had to change.
The two boys stared at him before they burst into laughter. "A Slifer Slacker King of Games?! Now that will be the day!" Taiyou laughed.
"Can it you two!" Chazz snapped which made everyone look at him again. "Maybe he's right. He and his brother did beat Crowler after all and those rare legendary monsters of his. I guess that take's some skill to pull that off."
"You got that right." Jaden agreed with a smirk.
"Or maybe it was just luck. I say we find out right now." Chazz added with a smirk of his own.
"Bring it."
"Well this certainly is a motley crew." All heads turned when a new voice entered the fight. Footsteps could be heard as two more Obelisks entered the room. Jaden smiled when he saw the first one was Masika but the other one he didn't know. The second Obelisk was female also with long blond hair and hazel eyes and was the one that just spoke.
"Wow…who are they?" Syrus asked with a small blush on his face while Jaden waved Hi to Masika who smiled and waved back.
"Oh hey Alexis," Chazz greeted the blond with a smirk before he looked over at Masika. "Hey Masika, did you two come to watch me wipe the floor with my new little friend Jaden here? I'll be a short duel, but an entertaining one at that."
Jaden didn't get mad much unless he was mad at Haou for Shadow Duel reasons but the Gentle Darkness ruler had to shoot Chazz a glare for underestimating his skills in a duel.
"I love to see this jerk's face when you tell him that you weren't even trying during your duel against Crowler." Yubel said with a growl which Jaden was about to do but lost his chance when Masika spoke up.
"Chazz, you shouldn't go around and make fun of the other dorms. You're giving ours a bad name." Masika said frowning at the blue student. "Plus, you shouldn't make fun of Jaden's dueling skills. People have feelings too you know and I don't think his brother would like it if he heard what you were saying about him."
Chazz rolled his eye at that. "Oh the big bad brother? I'm so scared." He said sarcastically.
"You should be."
Everyone turned to the entrance where Jaden and Syrus came from to see Haou standing there with his arms crossed. He was wearing his sunglasses but everyone could guess that he was glaring at Chazz at the moment.
"Listen Princeton," Haou started, walking over to the group. "I can let a few insults side off my back but when you mess with the Yuki family skills in dueling then you're really asking to die. Normally, I would kick your butt into new week by now but-" he stopped to stand right next to his brother. "-this isn't my fight. I already have beaten 12 of your Obelisk friends on our way here but since one of them is actually nice-" he glanced over at Masika who started to get a small blush on her face. "-I'm just going to count it as 11. So I think it's only fair that my little brother gets a chance to own someone in a duel." Haou looked over at Jaden. "Kick his ass, Jay."
Jaden smirked at that while Chazz looked like he was about to pop a blood vessel. "Why you-" Chazz growled and he looked like he was about to say more but was interrupted by Alexis.
"As much as I love to see you two duel it out, Chazz, the welcoming dinner, remember, and you're late." Alexis told him.
"…Oh yeah…" Chazz mumbled as he trailed off before he started heading down from the stands. "Let's go you guys." He called to his followers before all three of them started heading off to the Obelisk Blue dorm.
Alexis sighed as she shook her head before she looked over at the boys and said, "sorry if Chazz rubbed you the wrong way, all of us Obelisk aren't like that. He's just a jerk to everyone here, especially to Slifers."
"It's no big duel." Jaden replied which took Alexis by surprised at how calm his tone was. "Those types of people don't bother me at all. I'm kinda used to it by now." Haou rolled his eyes since Jaden was referring to all their fights that they had with each other before he noticed the crazy grin on his brother's face as Jaden pointed at himself. "Besides, I could've beaten him in one turn!"
"We have got to work on that over confidence of yours." Syrus pointed out.
"Okay maybe two times…maybe two and a half if I feel nice enough." Jaden corrected himself making Alexis giggle at how carefree this boy was even after that fight.
Meanwhile, Haou started to leave the arena since his felt like there was no more reason for him to be here but just as he was about to walk out of the opening, he was stopped when he felt someone grab onto his arm. He glanced over his shoulder and wasn't all that surprised anymore to see it was Masika who stopped him.
"Hey," the bluenette said with a shy smile as she let go of the dark ruler's arm. "I like what you did for your brother there…and thanks for what you said about me about…you know…being nice and all."
Haou shrugged like it was no big deal. "It wouldn't have made a difference. If I didn't show up then Jaden would have said something to defend himself with." With that, the Gentle Darkness king walked out of the room. "Oh and your welcome," he added over his shoulder before he was gone.
"The Slifer welcome dinner is about to start too." Alexis said with a smile making Masika look at her friend who was talking to the other two Slifers. "I would get a more on it if you don't want to be late."
"Yeah, we better go, Sy." Jaden said as he turned around and started to run off to the Slifer dorm with Syrus behind him. But before he made it out through the exit, he paused for second to look back at the girl. "Oh hey, what was your name again?" He asked.
Alexis looked surprised at that before she smiled again and answered, "Alexis Rhodes and yours?"
"The names Jaden and the person who just left is my twin brother, Haou; oh right see you around." Jaden waved bye to his new friend before he took off running again.
"Hey! Aren't you gonna introduce me?!" Syrus asked in a yell as he followed after him once more.
"Jaden huh?" Alexis mumbled to herself as she watched them go while Masika came up to stand next to her. "This year sure had taken a turn to crazy town huh?" She asked her friend with a smile.
"I don't know; Jaden is like a puppy and Haou is well…" Masika paused to think of the right word for him. "Moody." She giggled at her nickname for the darker twin. "But I always did like moody people."
Alexis raised an eyebrow at that as Masika started to skip out of the room…until she tripped and fell face first to the ground…again.
...
"This is our big fancy welcome dinner?"
"Forget the dinner, look at our headmaster! It's a cat!"
Jaden, Haou, and Syrus had made it back to the Slifer Red dorm just in time for their welcome dinner but what they found wasn't what they thought would be fancy. Well at least Syrus didn't think it was fancy as he sighed when he saw that they were only given a small dish of rice, sardines, and chopsticks with some sauces. Jaden really didn't care all that much. He was staring at the food, hungry. Haou said nothing to any of this but was counting backwards from ten in his head from when Jaden's primal instinct to when he saw food would kick in and he would start eating.
Some of the Slifers were also annoyed by this but some of them didn't really care since they were mostly paying attention to the brown and black striped cat that was snoozing on the dining hall table. A few people laughed at the 'cat being the headmaster' comment but that was soon stopped when a tall, skinny, dark haired, and glasses man come out of the kitchen.
"Hello children; I'm Professor Banner." The man said with a light German accent. "Before we eat, I would like everyone to say some-" He stopped himself when he noticed everyone was turned around in their seats to stare in the back of the room.
And zero… Haou thought as he looked to his right to see Jaden stuffing his face with food.
"This stuff is great!" Jaden said stuffing his face with the food that was on his tray, not caring that everyone was giving him the weird or crazy look right about now. "Hey Syrus, if you don't want your food then can I have it?"
"I think he wanted us to say something about ourselves." Syrus said slowly pushing his food to his friend since he was a little to freak out at the moment to eat anything.
"Okay, how about this, I'm starving!"
"He's walking on over here, Jay; I mean it he's right…" Syrus stopped himself since Professor Banner was standing right over their shoulders.
"Well since some of us can't wait…" He smiled at them before he added, "let's just eat!"
…
After the dinner, the boys went back to their rooms. Chumley was asleep or was acting like he was while the two boys were just relaxing while having some tea that Syrus made them when suddenly Jaden's PDA went off. It turned out to be a message from Chazz who wanted to have a duel tonight and whoever wins gets the loser's best card. Chumley, who turned out to be awake, told them that it was a bad idea and Syrus agreed with him but Jaden still went anyway. Syrus came along with him just to talk him out of it and soon, they were joined by Haou who was taking a midnight walk but ended up walking into his twin and friend who decided to join them just to see Jaden destroy Chazz in this duel.
"I'm still sure this isn't a good idea, Jaden." Syrus said for the tenth time as he followed after Jaden and Haou to the dueling arena.
"Good or bad, when someone challenges you to a duel you got to step up, there's no choice." Jaden replied to his new blue hair friend as they entered the arena to find Chazz and his lackeys already there waiting for them.
"Well, well, well, he shows." Chazz said with a smirk with his arms crossed as he looked over at them.
"You better believe it. There's no way I was going to miss this." Jaden replied with a smirk as well as he walked onto the dueling field while Haou and Syrus stood off to the side to watch this unfold.
"Time to find out if you beating Dr. Crowler was by skill or just dumb luck."
"Yeah well, we're going to find out something else too. Which one of the two of us is really going to become the next King of Games?"
"Yeah, yeah, just make sure you have your best card ready to hand over when you lose."
"Sorry but she's not going nowhere, Chazz." Jaden said as Yubel appeared by his side as both duelists activated their duel disk and both of them drew five cards.
(Jaden: 4000 Chazz: 4000)
"I go first then, slacker." Chazz said as he drew a card and looked at it as well as his hand. "For my first move, I play Reborn Zombie in defense mood." A zombie wrapped in bandages like a mummy appeared kneeing down on the field (Atk: 1000 Def: 1600). "I also play one card face down and end my turn." A facedown appeared on his field as well.
"I guess that's one way to start a duel. But I'm going to go a little bit bigger." Jaden said as he drew a card from his deck and grinned at what he got. The Gentle Darkness ruler then glanced over at Yubel. "Now?" He asked.
"That face down of his has got me worried, Jaden." Yubel told him but Jaden was already playing his icon move.
"I'm going to play Polymerization! When this, I'm going to fuse Elemental HERO Avian and Elemental HERO Burstinatrix to summon Elemental HERO Flame Wingman in attack mode!"
The two HERO monsters from Jaden's duel against Crowler appeared on the field before they swirled together and out came Jaden's most famous fusion monster (Atk: 2100 Def: 1200).
Flame Wingman landed on the field before he looked over at Jaden. "Summoning me on the first turn?" He looked at Yubel. "Pride?" Yubel sighed with a shrug. "Of course," the wind monster turned his attention back onto Chazz.
Jaden chuckled a little at that before he flashed a smirk at Chazz. "I told you I've start big, didn't I?"
But all Chazz did was smirk back. "I was hoping you would."
Now that made Jaden confused, "uh why's that?" He asked.
"Because that card I played face down was a trap that you just set off." Chazz answered. "Chthonian Polymer, do your stuff!"
The face down card on Chazz's side of the field rose up and was covered in a dark aura. Yubel's eyes widen at his trap.
"What's Chthonian…Polymer…stuff?" Syrus asked out of confusion and from fear of what the card that Chazz just play could do.
Haou, on the other hand, knew very well what that card did and knew that something really bad was about to happen.
"I had a feeling we would find you guys here."
Syrus turned around when he heard that voice. Haou just looked over his shoulder as Alexis and Masika were walking up to stand next to the two guys.
"Chthonian Polymer is a nasty trap. It allows you to take control of one of your opponent Fusion Monsters by tributing one of your own creatures." Alexis explained with her arms crossed.
"Poor Jaden," Masika added frowning. "Chazz just stole his best card on the field."
"That's not even the worst part." Haou mumbled knowing what was going to happen after Wingman was taken.
"I give up my Reborn Zombie to take control of your Wingman." Chazz said with an evil grin and just like that, his monster was destroyed and Jaden's eyes widen in shock as Wingman cried out in pain before he disappeared on his side of the field and reappeared on Chazz's side of the field with the same dark aura around him and a demonic look on his face.
Jaden had no words for a few seconds. He was just staring at his former monster until finally, he snapped and glared at Chazz. "…You are a dead man, Chazz!" He growled as Yubel and Haou both groaned since they knew this was going to happen.
Ever since Jaden's soul had been fused with Yubel, he and his Duel Monsters had become closer than ever and besides Haou, Jaden really did treat them like family. So when one of them got destroyed or worse, brainwashed by an opponent's monster's effect, spell, or trap card, Jaden would lose it and that was when the chaos would begin.
Chazz rolled his eyes. "Oh cry me a river; so are you going to continue you're turn or should I have Flame Wingman destroy you now?"
Jaden just growled under his breath as he took a final glance at Wingman. "Don't worry, pal, I'll get you back." He mumbled before he took a card from his hand. "Since Wingman was a special summon, that means I can still play my normal summon this turn and I'll think I'm going to play Elemental HERO Knospe in attack mode."
The child plant HERO appeared on the field with a shriek until she saw she was facing Wingman and her eyes widen (Atk: 600 Def: 1000).
"Jay-bear, why is Flame Wingman on the opponent's side of the field?" Knospe asked with a worried look to her friend/brother/master.
Jaden let out another small growl. "Because I'm an idiot and fell for his trap." He sighed as Yubel place a hand on his shoulder.
"We'll get him back, Jaden. Don't worry," Yubel told him before she looked at Knospe. "In the meantime, why don't you show Chazz over there you're special ability, Knospe?"
Knospe looked up at Jaden. "Oh can I? I want to beat up the bad man that took Wingman from us!"
Jaden looked over at Chazz and a small smirk formed on his face. "Go right ahead." Knospe jumped like a bunny from excitement before she took off running right at Chazz. "You'll see, Chazz, Knospe might not be powerful enough to go up against Wingman but she can attack you direct."
"What?" That was all that come out of Chazz's mouth before he was tackled to the ground by Knospe.
"Tackle the idiot!" Knospe laughed before she jumped off him and ran back to Jaden's side of the field.
(Jaden: 4000 Chazz: 3400)
"Oh and one more thing, Chazz, when Knospe inflicts Battle Damage to her opponent, she gains 100 ATK but loses 100 DEF." Jaden took a card from his hand and placed it in his spell and trap card zone as Knospe's points went up and down (Atk: 600-700 Def: 1000-900). "I'm just going to end my turn with a face down and that's it for now."
Chazz growled as he stood back up. "So you're weed got a luck shot. That still doesn't change the fact that you made a stupid move by playing her in attack mode." He drew his next card and summoned it right to the field. "Rise Chthonian Soldier!"
A monster with dark armor carrying a huge blade appeared on Chazz's field next to Flame Wingman (Atk: 1200 Def: 1400). "Destroy the weed so Flame Wingman can destroy Jaden!"
Knospe stared wide eyed as the hell warrior started to charge at her with his sword. "Jay-bear!" She cried from panic and fear.
"Don't worry, Knospe, nothing going to happen to you since I'm playing this!" Jaden said as his face down rose up. Right as Chthonian Soldier was about to cut Knospe into pieces, a shield made up of vines and roots appeared in front of the small plant monster and protected her from the attack.
"What?!" Chazz questioned in shock and surprise.
"I guess you forgot about my face down, Chazz." Jaden grinned as he nodded to the face up trap card that protected Knospe from being destroyed. "This handy little trap of mine is called Elemental Roots. If Knospe on the field, I can protect her from being destroyed up to the number of Elemental HERO monsters that are in my graveyard and at the moment I have two of them. So by removing one of them from play, Knospe is safe. The only catch is that I still take the damage from your attacks but if Knospe gets to stay on the field then it's worth it."
(Jaden: 3500 Chazz: 3400)
"You're giving up your life points just to keep a weed around?" Chazz laughed at that while Jaden glared at him. "Fine by me since I still have another attack! Flame Wingman burn that weed!"
Once again, a shield of vines and roots appeared around Knospe to protect her from the attack but Jaden still took damage before his trap was destroyed since he ran out of HEROES for shields.
(Jaden: 2100 Chazz: 3400)
"What is Jaden thinking? Sure Knospe was able to attack Chazz direct but he would have been able to protect all his life points if he just played her in defense mode." Syrus spoke.
"Jaden must have something planned it he wasn't too worried about losing points." Masika pointed out before she looked over at Haou. "Am I right?" She asked since that was how Haou had beaten her in a duel. He gave up almost all his life points just to be able to summon out two very powerful monsters onto the field.
"Jaden's main focus right now is to get Flame Wingman back on his side of the field." Haou said glancing up at his brother. "If he also able to attack Chazz without destroying Wingman then that's what's he going to do."
"You're brother sure has a weird way of dueling." Alexis said looking at Chazz who was ending his turn off.
"I think I'll end my turn with a face down card." Chazz said with a grin. "You're move, slacker."
Jaden said nothing to that as he drew and a smirked formed on his face from what he got. He then glanced down at Knospe. "You mind if I call in a family matter?" He asked the plant monster.
"Yeah, summon mommy! She can handle this more then I can." Knospe answer making Jaden smiled.
"Well Chazz, you're getting a lucky break for a few seconds since I'm not having Knospe attack you're life points direct this turn. Instead I'm going to play a spell card, one of my favorites too, Rose Bud! With this, if I just trade in Knospe, I can summon out her mother and let me tell you, she has thorns."
Knospe waved bye as she disappeared into the ground and right after that happened, a rose bud appeared in her place before it bloomed and what was inside of it was a woman with purple skin, red eyes, had petal-like white hair that was connected to a crown she was wearing on her head with a green gem in the middle of it. Her whole outfit was made up of green leafs with a golden belt with a light blue gem in it and dark pink stocks. She also had several golden rings on her fingers. The new plant-type monster stepped out of the rose before it disappeared behind her and she glared daggers at Chazz (Atk: 1900 Def: 2000).
"So this is the freak that's been trying to destroy my daughter?" The monster known fully as Elemental HERO Poison Rose asked with a hiss.
"And the freak that stole Flame Wingman…and the idiot that's making Jaden turn into Haou at the moment." Yubel added that last part under her breath so Jaden couldn't hear it.
"Well Rose, would you like the honors of paying Chazz back for all he did?" Jaden asked his plant warrior.
"He attacked my daughter and is giving us living hell right now. Heck yeah, that boy is mine!" Poison Rose answered as she round house kicked Chthonian Soldier, destroying the hell warrior but what shocked Rose was that after she destroyed Chazz's monster, his sword went flying into the air before it went flying right at Jaden and right through him. Jaden gasped from pain at the sudden attack.
(Jaden: 1400 Chazz: 2700)
"Still think you're new monster is great, slacker? Well I hope you do since by destroying Chthonian Soldier with her, you take the same amount of damage that I just did." Chazz said as he sent his warrior to the graveyard.
"Jaden, I'm so sorry." Poison Rose said looking over at her master who looked like he was just stabbed in the chest…well he was in a way after all.
"Its fine, Rose, since you're attack goes up from damaging Chazz." Jaden said as Poison Rose's attack went up just like Knospe but this time by 200 (Atk: 1900-2100 Def: 2000-1800). "Rose and Wingman's attack points are even. Now what are you going to do, Chazz?" He asked as he ended his turn with a face down.
"What am I going to do?" Chazz snarled as he played a spell card from his hand. "What I'm going to do is play the equip spell card, Bracer of Power!" The black aura that took control of Flame Wingman at the beginning of the duel reappeared around him and made his attack go up by 500 points (Atk: 2100-2600). "Now that Flame Wingman is the strongest monster again, attack the weed with thorns with Infernal Rage!" A blast of fire shot out of the dark Elemental HERO's dragon hand and was coming right at Poison Rose.
"If this attack hits then Jaden will lose!" Masika gasped making Alexis grow tense; Syrus got a look of panic on his face and Haou was just standing there calmly.
"Forgive me for doing this, Wingman, but you will understand when this is over." Jaden mumbled as his face down rose up. "I active my Mirror Wall trap card!"
Just as the attack was about to burn Poison Rose to ashes, a glass wall rose up in front of her and the flames shot back and hit Flame Wingman, cutting his attack in half (Atk: 2600-1300).
"What?!" Chazz gasped in surprise as Wingman was destroyed by Poison Rose's Thorn Kick attack.
(Jaden: 1400 Chazz: 1900)
"When a monster on my side of the field is attack by one of yours, I can active this card and it can cut your monster's attack in half but I have to pay 2000 life points each one of my turns to keep this card around so I'm sending it to the graveyard right now since I think it's down its job." Jaden explained as he took his trap card from his spell and trap card zone and sent it to his graveyard. "Oh and don't forgot that since Rose did battle damage to you, she gains and loses another 200 attack and defense points."
Poison Rose smirked as her power went up and down (Atk: 2100-2300 Def: 1800-1600).
"Well you wish that didn't happen since I'm going to active, Chthonian Blast! Since you destroyed one of my monsters then I get to destroy one of yours and you take damage to half of its attack points." Chazz smirked while Jaden's eye widen as Poison Rose screamed in pain before she was destroyed.
(Jaden: 250 Chazz: 1900)
"This guy might be an idiot jerk but he doesn't play around." Yubel said a little impressed but she was still mad at him for giving Jaden pretty much hell during this duel.
"Now I'm going to play my trap, Call of the Haunted. This lets me bring back one monster from my graveyard and I'm choosing my Chthonian Soldier but don't worry, he won't be staying long since I'm going to sacrifice him to summon Mefist the Infernal General!"
The dark solider reappeared on the field before he disappeared again to make room for another dark hell solider who was riding a horse with a giant axe in hand (Atk: 1800 Def: 1700). "And since I already played my battle phase, I end things for here."
"Jaden, I hope you haven't been trying before because you got no monsters or spell/traps on your field and Chazz has a powerful monster on his." Yubel said as Jaden drew his card.
"Don't worry, Yubel." Jaden said with a wide grin at what he just got. "I just won this duel."
Just as he was about to play the card that would've won him the duel, Jaden stopped himself when he started hearing footsteps.
"Uh guys! We got company!" Alexis said which made everyone look at her. "Campus Security! If we get caught here, we're all get seriously busted."
"What?!" Syrus yelled from surprised.
"Why? I mean we're all students here." Jaden asked blinking a few time from confusion as the duel shut itself down and their duel disk turned off.
Alexis sighed at that as she took out a rule book for the island. "The rules say no off hour duels. Chazz knows that but let me guess, he didn't tell you?" She glared at the said boy, making Chazz's face turn red from being called out.
"Chazz, what is wrong with you? You first make fun of Jaden for no reason, than you take one of his favorite monsters, and then you try to get him in trouble or worse, kicked off the island?" Masika frowned at the Obelisk. "I have no words for you."
"Oh I have a lot of words for him but none of them are child friendly." Haou said glaring at Chazz.
"Come on guys, let's go." Chazz said to his lackeys as he started to walk off.
"Hey, the match isn't over." Jaden said to him. There was no way he was going to let this duel end on this note, not after everything that Chazz did to his monsters.
"Yeah, it is. I saw what I needed to see. You're a sorry duelist. You beating Dr. Crowler was just a fluke." Chazz said before he walked out of the room with his followers.
"Come on, Jay. We got to go now." Syrus told the boy who just stood there with his arms crossed.
"This sucks, I was about to win too." Jaden said with a frown as he wasn't moving one bit from his spot. He knew very well that he could get in deep trouble if they got caught but his pride and stubbornness took their hold on him.
"Okay, that's it." Haou growled as he walked onto the dueling field, grabbed Jaden by his hair and started to pull his younger twin brother out of the room.
"Ow! Ow! Haou that hurts! Why the hair, bro?!" Jaden yelled while the other three duelists were watching this with nervously sweat drops.
...
Once the group of five was finally outside, Haou let Jaden go who was still pretty annoyed at not finishing the duel.
"You give a new meaning to stubbornness, Jaden." Alexis said while Masika giggled at that.
"Only about my dueling," Jaden corrected her with a scoff making Syrus laugh nervously and Haou rolled his eyes. "No one takes control of my monsters and gets away with it."
"Thanks for showing us the back way out, Alexis." Syrus said with a smile.
"Sure, I'm sorry you didn't get to finish your match with Chazz." Alexis replied looking over at Jaden.
"It's fine; I knew just how it was going to end anyway." Jaden replied with a smirk.
"Oh really now? No offense but it looked like it could've gone either way between you and Chazz when you're match was stop." Alexis pointed out.
"No, Jaden was going to win." Haou said making everyone besides his brother to look at him. "Jaden, you drew Monster Reborn, didn't you?"
Jaden smirked widen as he held up the said card that made everyone's, besides Haou's, eyes to widen in surprise. "I would have used this to bring back Flame Wingman and destroy Chazz's Infernal General and thanks to his special ability, Chazz would have taken damage equal to his destroyed monster's attack points. So in other words-"
"You would have won the duel." Masika finished. "You would have beaten Chazz if you were just given a few more seconds…"
"Yep," Jaden said smiling before he started to walk off. "Well night," he said with a wave and it wasn't long before Syrus was following after him.
"Your brother is strange, Haou." The Gentle Darkness Lord looked over at Masika when he saw she was talking to him. "I noticed on the field how tense he was when Flame Wingman was used against him but now he's just as carefree as he was before."
"That's Jaden for you. He's pretty much the only person you really can say is a Duel Monster Spirit since he cares for his cards that much." Haou smirked a little at the inside joke/fact behind it. "Well see you in class, Masika." He said before he followed after his brother to the Slifer dorm.
Masika smiled at that as she watched him leave with a zoned out look in her eyes. It wasn't until she noticed Alexis was waving her hand in front of her face that she snapped out of it.
"What's with you? Your face is all red and you're staring at Haou like a love sick puppy." Alexis raised an eyebrow after she said that. "You like him, don't you?"
"…I don't know what you're talking about." Masika said quickly as she turned around to start heading back to the female Obelisk Blue dorm but ended up tripping on her footing. "Ow!"
Alexis shook her head with a small laugh. "You really are falling for him, huh?"
Masika said nothing to that as she was thinking the same thing. Am I falling for Haou Yuki?
Elemental Roots-Continuous Trap Card-When either Elemental HERO Knospe or Elemental HERO Poison Rose is targeted for an attack, for the number of "Elemental HERO" monsters that are in your graveyard, you can protect this monster from that many attacks (Damage calculation still applies) and then remove from play one of those monsters in your gravyard. Destroy this card when you run out of monsters to use in your graveyard. Picture: A shield made up of vines and roots protecting Knospe from an attack.
Chaoshipping-Haou X Evil HERO Magician (because whenever they are around each other, it's just plain chaos)
