I don't own Yu-Gi-Oh GX!
(Before I say anything else, sorry about the wait for this chapter, guys. I would have had it up sooner but the duel for this chapter started to bore me to death while writing it. Fan made duel times do that to me XD. Plus the fact that my computer wouldn't unload this since my Internet Explorer was being a pain in the ass. Anyway so if the duel starts to get boring then i take full blame for that since it has to be my worst one yet. Oh well, nothing I can do about it now *shurgs* Anyway read, review, and look forward to the next chapter!)
In the early morning at Duel Academy, so early that the sun wasn't even up yet, and the only thing you could see through the fog was the light from the lighthouse stood a person standing at the docks staring at the ocean. That person was Zane Truesdale, the top student at Duel Academy, otherwise known as the Kaiser, and Syrus's older brother even though many people wouldn't have believed that.
"Zane?" The top student looked to his left to see Alexis Rhodes walking over to stand next to him. "What are you doing out here?"
"Nothing, I just felt like being alone." Zane answered before he looked back at the ocean.
"You know with your little brother enrolled here, I thought you'd be less alone, not more." Alexis commented.
"Maybe it's because he doesn't belong here, Alexis." Zane replied which made Alexis stare at him. She knew Zane liked to mask his feelings but that was a little cold even for him.
….
A few hours later as the sun started to rise, a truck filled with soldiers pulled up to the Slifer Red dorm. Jaden, Haou, Syrus, and Chumley were all fast asleep so they didn't hear the truck coming to a stop. Professor Banner, however, quickly woke up at that and exited his room to see what was making all that noise.
"Aren't you kids getting a little too old to be playing war? Come on guys? How about a nice quiet game of charades?" Banner asked with a yawn since he was still half asleep but was soon totally awake when he saw the soldiers rapidly ascending the stairs to the second floor. "Oh no, it's the Disciplinary Action Squad! They only show up when a student is in serious trouble and they're heading straight for Jaden's and Haou's rooms!"
Just like Banner said, the soldiers knocked forcefully on the door which somehow woke Jaden up from his nap. The Slifer boy yawned as he sat up in his bed.
"Open this door right now or we'll break it down!" Someone yelled from outside of the dorm room.
"Yeah good morning to you too;" Jaden mumbled with another yawn as he got up and walked over to the door but he didn't open it. "So what army do you have that makes you think you can go around and break down doors?"
"The Disciplinary Action Squad Army, that's who!"
Jaden raised an eyebrow at that before he opened the door and was surprised to see a large group of people in dark uniforms standing outside of his dorm room. Maybe it wasn't the best idea to be a smart mouth this morning. He thought cursing his lack of sleep from the past few weeks.
One of the soldiers, that was the one yelling and was female, looked at him. "You must be Jaden Yuki."
"The one and only but what's going on here?" Jaden asked as he noticed a few soldiers heading next door to Haou's room. "And furthermore, I wouldn't wake up my brother if I were you; he's not really a morning person."
The woman ignored him as she glanced over at her men as they started knocking forcefully on Haou's door.
Haou, who for once since arriving at the island was having a good night sleep, woke up with a start from the noise. He groaned in annoyance as he covered his ears with his pillow but since that was having little to no effect, he growled as he threw the pillow at the door before he climbed out of bed. "I swear to god, Jaden, if you're playing ding dong ditch with me then I'm going to…"
Haou's eyes flashed to amber brown super-fast as he opened his door to find the solders standing outside his dorm room. He blinked a few times since even he was taken by surprise by this. When he noticed Jaden was also standing outside his room, Haou raised an eyebrow at him in question but all Jaden reply to was a shrug since he didn't know what was going on either.
"And you must be Haou Yuki." The female solider said, looking at the older Yuki twin who just shot her an angry glare.
"Yeah that's him alright." Jaden said for his brother before he asked once again. "So what's going on?"
"As I said before, we are the Disciplinary Action Squad and you and your brother are under campus arrest!"
"Arrest?!" Jaden said in shock and confusion. "What the heck did we do?!" He then gazed over at Haou. "Okay scratch that, what the heck did you do, Haou?" Haou rolled his eyes at that while mumbling something about his brother throwing him under the bus.
"That will be made clear to you at the interrogation. Now get dressed and let's move it!"
…..
"Suspension?!" Jaden exclaimed while Haou looked close to snapping any minute now just from annoyance.
The Slifer twins were now standing in a large circular room with about six giant TV screens, each one with a different person on it. Three of them were Chancellor Sheppard, Dr. Crowler, and the woman they met from the D.A.S. The other three people were teachers or staff or that's at least what Jaden thought anyway. They found out they were here because of their Abandoned Dorm trip they went on last night and also what was going to happen to them because of it.
"That's what I suggest. You two have trespassed into the Abandoned Dorm in the woods which is strictly forbidden and we have received an anonymous letter from a faculty member that saw you enter and leave the premises. You two must be punished to make an example for all the students!" The D.A.S. woman said which made Jaden frown at her reasons while Haou's fists tighten at his sides.
"But what kind of example are we setting then? That we are a bunch of hard-hearted tyrants? I say that we arranged something more sporting…" Crowler disagreed.
"Sporting? What do you mean by that?" Jaden questioned.
"Well Jaden…off the top of my head…how about you and your brother partner up in a tag-duel?" Crowler suggested. "Win and you go free and if you lose which I sure hope you don't…" The fake smile Crowler added after that was a sure give away that he wanted them to lose and Jaden and Haou both noticed it. "…you both are expelled?"
"A tag-duel with high stakes involved?" Haou smirked at that. "You're speaking my language."
"Yeah sounds sweet to me!" Jaden agreed as he had the same Yuki smirk that his brother had. And you thought we were good by ourselves; wait until you'll see the full force of the Gentle Darkness rulers in a tag-duel. He added in his mind.
"Chancellor, what do you say? I believe they have accepted the conditions?" Crowler asked Sheppard who nodded.
"Very well…I'll arrange some opponent immediately."
"Oh now Chancellor; don't worry yourself about this! Allow me to find some opponents for them." Crowler told him which once again, Sheppard nodded too.
"You'll have a week to prepare." Sheppard declared before all the motions turned off which the twins took as the sign to leave.
As Jaden and Haou walked out of the school building, Haou glanced over at Jaden. "You know the idiot of a cross-dresser is going to pay pro duelists to face against us just so we're lose and get kicked out right?"
Jaden threw his arms behind his head as he walked. "Yeah I know but I'm not worried. We're the ultimate tag-team, Haou. Our decks are just mirror images of each other so we can bust out some serious fusion summons; Elemental HERO and Evil HERO alike. I don't see how we can lose."
Haou shook his head from amusement. "That over confidence of yours is one day going to be your downfall, Jaden."
"Says the guy who got an ego to match;" Jaden countered with a grin. "Now come on! Let's head back to the dorm and see what kind of strategies we can come up with!"
….
It didn't take long for the news about the tag duel to be heard all around school since Crowler didn't know when to keep his mouth shut. Sometime later in the day, Chumley and Syrus were both in the Chancellor's office after Jaden told them what happened.
"You wanted to see me, boys?" Sheppard asked looking at the two Slifers.
"Yeah, I just wanted to say that…I was at the Abandoned Dorm too and I was the one that led them there!" Chumley stated.
"I was…uh also there…sir….and I…I don't think it's fair that Jaden and Haou should be expelled!" Syrus added while stammering his words.
"They shouldn't be expelled for something that was out of their control." The two Slifer turned around at that as the door to Sheppard's office opened up and Alexis and Masika walked in to stand next to the boys. "Masika and I were taken hostage and Jaden and Haou came to save us." Alexis continued.
"Yeah, if anyone should be expelled it should be us." Masika said looking at the ground. "Please sir, can you just for once bend the rules?"
Sheppard was surprised to see how these children were standing up for their friends even when they knew that they could get in trouble as well. He smiled at that before he said; "Look, I know the stakes are high but I'm sure they're do just fine. After all, Jaden and Haou are brothers and twins no less."
Yeah but Haou and Jaden are two sides of the same coin. I don't even know if they can work together without something going wrong. Masika thought with a sigh as the four students walked out of the room in defeat.
….
"So once you get Avian and Burstinatrix on the field, I'm going to play Dark Fusion to summon out Inferno Wing and then you're going to play Miracle Fusion and remove those two from your graveyard and summon out Flame Wingman;" Haou went over as he laid those cards down on top of the smooth rocks that were under the cliffs of the Slifer dorm where currently him and Jaden were coming up with tag team strategies.
"Wow, I don't know what's more crazy; the fact that you can come up with strategies like that or the fact that you think I'm going to remember all of this." Jaden laughed which got him a glare from his brother. "Hey, I'm just kidding, Haou." Jaden then took a few cards out of his deck and laid them out to show to his brother. "Okay, how about this?"
Haou looked at them before he raised an eyebrow. "I never saw those cards in your deck before."
Jaden grinned. "I know I just got them a while ago and let me tell you; I think I'm going to like them a lot."
Meanwhile on top of the cliffs, Yubel was standing there with her arms crossed, looking down at the twin kings with a sigh as she thought back to last night with her talk with Magician.
Flashback:
"You mean to tell me that Haou was in a Shadow Game and you're just telling me this now?!" Yubel growled while all Magician did was yawn.
"You catch on so quickly." Magician said sarcastically as she leaned her back against the wall. "Look Yubel, I would have 'loved' to tell you and all but I'm more afraid of Haou then you and since…." She bit her lip when she realized what she was about to say next.
"Since what?" Yubel questioned losing her patience with the female fiend.
"Oh nothing….so how's your day been so far?" Magician asked trying to change the subject but when she saw the pure annoyance in Yubel's eyes, she knew she wasn't leaving until she got her answer. "Okay fine, Haou…..well…you remember what happened when he first unlocked his powers?"
"I won't ever forget that day." Yubel replied in a mumble and a nod.
"Yeah….something got loose….again." Magician said which cause Yubel's three eyes to widen.
"I thought I gave you the task of keep him away from Haou!" Yubel snapped. "He will go after Haou again and then after Jaden when his done with him!"
"Relax drama queen; there's nothing to worry about. As soon as the Shadow Game was over, I threw that demon spirit back into the hole where he came from and hopefully I won't get controlled again and he'll stay there forever." Magician told her as she looked over at Haou and sighed.
End Flashback:
I really hope you're right, Magician, because I don't want to see Haou get possess by that demon he created again. Yubel thought before she looked over when she heard footsteps heading towards the Yuki twins.
"I can't believe how calmly you two are taking all of this." Jaden looked up from where he was drawing a few cards and Haou looked over his shoulder with a small growl when he saw Kia walking up to them.
Jaden smiled and waved. "Hey Kai, long time no duel;" He joked while Haou shook his head. "What are you doing here and how did you know about the tag-duel?"
"Crowler doesn't know when to keep his big mouth shut." Kia answered as she took a seat next to Jaden on one of rocks.
"For once, you and I can agree on something." Haou mumbled.
"And as for why I'm here, I wanted to see if you two wanted any help. I can be you guys' personal trainer!" Kia said which cause Haou to chuckle. Kia flashed a glare at him. "Oh what so funny over there?"
"You think you can be a trainer." Haou answered returning her glare. "Jaden and I got this all under control…."
"That sounds great, Kia, thanks." Jaden replied with a smile which got him hit upside the head by his brother. "Ow, what the heck was that for?!"
"We don't need the help from the likes of that, brat." Haou growled at him.
"I'm standing right here, you jerk!" Kia snapped at him, standing up. "You're just mad that I destroyed you in a duel and not only that, I smacked you across the face and left you starstruck."
Haou shot up like lightning at that. "You want to say that to my face."
"Oh I'm sorry; I thought I just did. You want me to repeat that, your highness?" Kai growled back.
Jaden stood up and got in between them before Haou could strangle her. "Would you two stop your pointless fighting? We're all on the same side. Yes Haou, I know you have your pride to think about and Kia, for the little bit of time I known you, I get it you have a short temper but for crying out loud, you two are acting like five-year-olds….." Jaden paused for a second and blinked. Wow, now I know how Yubel feels when Haou and I start fighting. "….look, how about you two just kiss and make up? How does that sound?" This time, it was Kia who smacked Jaden upside the head. "Ow, okay wrong choice of words."
"You think?!" Kai said sarcastically before she took a deep breath. "Look Haou, I'm sorry we started off on the wrong foot but how about we just leave what's in the past in the past and we can start over? What do you say?" She held out a hand. "Friends?"
Haou rather break his own hand then to shake hers and he got just what he wished when he heard…
"Jaden!" The group of three looked over from where Kia came from to see Syrus, Chumley, Alexis, and Masika running over to him. Syrus was the one that just yelled and continued as he added; "We're sorry, Jay, we couldn't convince Sheppard to call off the match!"
Jaden blinked a few times at that. "No offense but why would you do that?"
Syrus looked at him like he was talking crazy talk which in Jaden and Haou's case, he was. "My friends….uh friend….is being threatened with expulsion and you're asking 'why would we do that'?! Duh Jay, we want you guys to stay!"
"Yeah so why aren't you guys upset about all of this?" Chumley asked.
Jaden shrugged with a grin. "I'm not thinking of this as a punishment. I'm thinking of it as a chance to show Duel Academy the full force of the Yuki twins. You guys thought we were good by ourselves, you haven't seen anything yet." Jaden paused as an idea came to him and his grin widen. He quickly grabbed his cards and Haou's and said. "Why don't we just show you guys so you don't have to worry so much?" Haou raised an eyebrow at that as Jaden handed him his deck.
"Uh Jaden, I don't like that grin on your face." Syrus said before he added. "And what do you mean 'show us'?"
"I mean is that Haou and I are going to have a practice tag-duel right now!" Jaden answered before he looked at everyone. "So who wants to be the two lucky people to face against us?"
Chumley and Syrus's eyes widen at that as the both took huge steps back. Alexis, like Haou, raised an eyebrow in questioned; Kia on the other hand.
"You can count me in, guys." Kia said with a grin before she pointed a finger at Haou. "You and I still have a match to finish anyway and I also get to face against Jaden too! It's like killing two birds with one stone!"
"I'm not even going to ask." Haou mumbled as he shook his head. "Fine you're in but you're still going to need a partner."
"I can team up with her." Haou glanced over when Masika said that. "I mean, if that's okay with you guys?"
"Hey after seeing you duel against Haou, I'm looking forward to this." Jaden answered with a smile before it turned into a smirk as he looked at his brother who didn't say anything. "What's wrong, Haou? Too scared to face against your damsel in distress?"
For the third time today, Jaden got hit upside the head.
….
After getting their duel disks, Jaden and Haou were on one side of the beach while Kia and Masika were on the other. Chumley, Syrus, and Alexis were standing on top of the cliff, watching the about to start duel from the top.
"Oh right guys; this is just a test duel to see what you two have to work on for your tag-duel but you guys still have to treat this duel like it's the real expulsion match so don't hold back." Chumley called down to them.
"And the rules are pretty simple. Each team has 8000 points and the order of this duel will be Jaden, Masika, Haou, and then Kia. You can use cards that are on your teammate's field and graveyard but none from their hand." Alexis explained. "And like Chumley said, don't hold anything back."
"You don't have to tell me twice." Jaden said with a grin as Yubel appeared beside him. "Well you two ladies ready?"
"Ready and waiting, Jay;" Kia answered before she grinned too when she asked; "You're not going to hold back since I'm a girl, are you?"
"I wouldn't hold back if you were a little kid." Jaden answered. "Time to get you're game on!"
Masika giggled at that before she looked at Haou. "Good luck;"
"Luck is for people that need it." Haou replied in a mumble.
(Jaden/Haou: 8000 Kia/Masika: 8000)
"Alright since I'm up first;" Jaden drew before he summoned a monster in defense mode. "I'm playing my old pal, Elemental HERO Clayman!" The E-HERO made up of clay appeared kneeing down on Jaden's field (Atk: 800 Def: 2000). "I'm also throwing down a face down and that's it for me."
"Then I'm up next." Masika said drawing before she smiled at what she got. "I'm summoning Deep Sea Diva in defense mode!" Appearing on Masika's field looked to be a mermaid fish beast. Her type half was human with long pink fish like hair and ears while her body half was a long pink fish like body (Atk: 200 Def: 400). "And since she was normal summoned onto the field, I can summon another Sea Serpent-Type monster but it has to be level 3 or below and I'm picking Mermail Abysslinde in attack mode!" Appearing next to her diva was a full mermaid this time with long blue hair and fish like ears. This one had a white tail and was wearing red and golden body armor (Atk: 1500 Def: 1200). "I'm going to play two cards face down and I end my turn." Masika finished as two face down appeared on her field.
Haou drew as he glanced at Masika face downs. I can't attack until next round and I can't take my chances with her face downs. He looked at the card he just drew and a smirk formed on his face. "Hey Jaden, you mind letting me use a monster?" He asked looking at his brother.
Jaden looked at Clayman for the answer and when his monster nodded in approval, he smiled. "He's all yours, bro;"
"Good so now I'm going to play Dark Fusion to fuse the Burstinatrix in my hand with Jaden's Clayman to summon out Evil HERO Infernal Sniper in defense mode!" The dark version of Burstinatrix appeared on the field before she fused with Clayman and what appeared from the fusion was woman in red with a little bit of golden armor. She had long black hair and was wearing a visor that covered her eyes. Her left hand had super sharp claws while her right hand was a cannon with blades on each side of it (Atk: 2000 Def: 2500).
"That's a new one." Kia said and all Masika could do was nod in agreement. "But kinda a waste to use on just the first round, don't you think?"
"Infernal Sniper has an effect you know? During each of my turns, if she's in defense mode, you two lose 1000 life points." Haou explained with a smirk. "The only real question is who should I blast?" He glanced over at Masika. "Well since Masika is nice…" He looked over at Kia and his smirk widen. "And I don't like you…Infernal Sniper start blasting!"
"Oh you have got to be kidding me." Kia grumbled before she screamed a little as Infernal Sniper fired a beam of dark energy at her.
(Jaden/Haou: 8000 Kia/Masika: 7000)
"And the worst is yet to come." Haou smirked as he played a face down.
Jaden frowned at his brother after he said that before he looked Kia. "Uh Kia, are you okay?"
"Jaden, no offense, but your brother is an asshole and I take back what I said about being friends with him." Kia grumbled as she drew. "I'm summing White Duston in defense mode." The mute squared monster Duston appeared on her field (Atk: 0 Def: 1000). "Next I'm going to play Enemy Controller!" A giant video game controller appeared in front of Kia. "With this, I can play some cheat codes for our little match." Kia said as the controller started pushing buttons. "I have four cheats I can use but I can only use one of them and I'm picking the third one: destroying your Infernal Sniper!"
The plug in back of the controller looked to have grown a mind of its own as it started heading for the Evil HERO monster. It wrapped itself around Infernal Sniper and started shocking it but it was having no effect what so ever which took Kia but total surprise as her spell card was destroyed.
"Oh, I didn't tell you about Infernal Sniper's second effect? She can't be destroyed by spell cards." Haou smirked while Kia growled something under her breath. "Payback a bitch, huh?"
"Jaden take your turn before I murder you brother." Kia told him as she played a face down.
Jaden sighed at that before he sent a look to Masika that said; 'What have we gotten ourselves into?'. Masika just shrugged back with a sigh as Jaden drew. "Hey not bad; sorry girls but like I said, I'm not holding anything back so I'm summoning Elemental HERO Sparkman in attack mode!" Jaden's golden blue warrior of light appeared on the field with sparks flying off of him (Atk: 1600 Def: 1400). "And now I'm going to equip him with his handle little Spark Blaster!" A pink like gun machine appeared in Sparkman's hand.
"A fine choice in indeed, Jaden;" Sparkman said as he aimed his blaster at the girls' monster. "Just say the word."
"In one second, Sparky." Jaden told him before he looked at the girls. "Spark Blaster let's Sparkman switch the battle position of a monster up to three times so let's change White Duston and Deep Sea Diva into attack mode." Sparkman aimed his blaster at both monsters and fired. After they were hit, they changed to attack mode. "Now for the fun part;" Jaden held up a card before he flipped it over to show Masika and Kia. The card was Double Attack which made the girls' eyes widen. "I guess you two already know what this does so let's just skip to the action. Sparkman attack White Duston with Static Shockwave!"
Sparkman lowered his gun and using his other hand, fired a wave of electricity that shocked White Duston and destroyed him.
(Jaden/Haou: 8000 Kia/Masika: 5400)
"You just activated my trap, Damage Condenser! Since I was just dealt with 1600 points of damage, I can summon a monster from my deck with attack equal to that or less then but I have to send one card from my hand to the graveyard." Kia sent a card to her graveyard before she took out her deck and looked through it. "I'm picking my Stygian Security in defense mode." A blue fiend monster with a long tail with bat wings of the end of it and with bat wings on its back appeared on the field (Atk: 100 Def: 600).
"Hey not bad, Kia, but that monster won't protect you for long." Jaden then turned his attention to Masika. "Now where was I? Oh yeah, Sparkman still has another attack that's heading right for your Diva!"
"Sorry Jay but my Diva isn't going anywhere since I'm playing my Shift trap card." Masika countered as he trap card rose up. Just as Sparkman's attack was about to hit Deep Sea Diva, it shot the other way and instead destroyed Mermail Abysslinde.
(Jaden/Haou: 8000 Kia/Masika: 5300)
"Huh what just happened?" Jaden questioned in confusion while Haou shook his head in disbelieve.
"Shift is a trap card that changes the target for a spell, trap, monster effect, or attack onto a different monster." Yubel explained. "She not only protected most of her team's life points but thanks to the effects of Mermail Abysslinde, Masika now gets to summon a new Mermail monster to her field."
"Well….crap…" Jaden said while Masika giggled as she took out her deck.
"Sorry Jaden but I don't plan on losing either so I'm going to summon Mermail Abyssturge in attack mode!" Taking the place of her last mermaid was another one but this had purple hair that was tied back in a ponytail at the end. She had a long purple tail with a white under belly and the same colored armor. The new monster was also carrying a golden spear (Atk: 1700 Def: 1100). "And now I'm going to active her effect which lets me take one level 3 Mermail monster that's in my graveyard and add it to my hand but I have to discard a water type monster from my hand also." Masika discarded a card and right after she did, her Mermail Abysslinde returned from the graveyard to her hand.
"Well there isn't much else I can do so I'm going to have Sparkman use his final shot on himself to change to defense mode and I end my turn." Jaden said as Sparkman shot himself with his Spark Blaster. He changed to defense mode and his blaster was destroyed.
"Well I guess it's back to me then." Masika drew before she looked at the field then back at her hand. There are two face downs on the field but after I play this little card there be three spells and/or traps on the field. "Well first off I'm playing my A Legendary Ocean field spell!"
"Oh not this place again;" Haou grumbled as he watched as the field changed so they were underwater with a temple in the background.
"Sorry Haou but I don't feel like losing to you again." Masika told him with a shy smile. "Now I'm going to resummon my Mermail Abysslinde in attack mode and thanks to the effects of my field spell, every water monster on the field level drops by 1 and they all gain 200 Atk and Def points." Her first mermaid monster reappeared on the field as her attack points went up (Atk: 1500-1700 Def: 1200-1400) along with her Mermail Abyssturge (Atk: 1700-1900 Def: 1100-1300) and Deep Sea Diva (Atk: 200-400 Def: 400-600).
Her monsters are now strong enough to take out Jaden's Sparkman and then the other two will take out most of our life points and since Jaden wasn't thinking, he didn't play any spells or traps to defend himself with. Haou thought before he looked at his field. Well it's a good thing that knew my brother would do something like this and played my trap card, Mirror Force, onto the field. As soon as Masika attacks, all her monsters will be destroyed and since my turn right after her, it's going to be game over for them.
"Now that all my monsters are level 3 and below, I can sacrifice all of them to special summon Poseidra, the Atlantean Dragon!" Masika continued as her three monsters disappeared in a flash of light before a loud crying of a roar could be heard as Masika's great sea dragon appeared behind her (Atk: 2800-3000 Def: 1600-1800).
"That is one scary looking dragon." Kia said in awe as she looked over at Masika's side of the field. "I don't know if I should feel relieved that I'm not facing it or jealous since I'm not."
"I think at the moment relieved." Masika told her with a smile before she looked back at the twins. "So what do you guys think of seeing him again?"
"I feel like a kid in a candy store." Jaden said with a grin as he was also looking up at her dragon in awe. "I been waiting to face against this thing since I seen you use it against Haou."
"I wasn't impressed then and I'm still not impressed now. I took it down once and I'm going to take it down again." Haou stated making Masika frown at him.
"Well this time is going to be different, Haou, since I summoned Poseidra with three level 3 water monsters, I can use his special ability which lets me send all the spell and trap cards that are on the field back into our hands and if three of them are returned, all of the monsters on your field lose 300 Atk points for each." Masika explained.
Haou was exactly taken by surprise by at as he watched his trap card go back to his hand while Masika's field spell and the face down she had on the field went back into her hand. Poseidra lost some attack points from the loss of the field spell (Atk: 3000-2800 Def: 1800-1600) but Sparkman (Atk: 1600-700 Def: 1400) and Infernal Sniper (Atk: 2000-1100 Def: 2500) ended up losing more.
She destroyed my whole plan like she knew what I was going to do. Haou thought with a growl before he looked at Masika. "So you made our monsters weaker in attack but you forgot one important detail, Masika, both of our monsters are in defense mode and you only have one attack."
"And that's why I have this." Masika smiled as she flipped over a card she was holding which turned out to be Stop Defense. "Now I can change a monster that's in defense mode into attack mode. Sure you guys will take more damage if Sparkman is destroyed but during your next turn, Haou, your Infernal Sniper will deal 1000 points of damage to our life points and I don't want to risk that damage hurting us in the long run so I'm changing your Evil HERO to attack mode and have Poseidra attack her!"
Haou watched as his monster stood up against her will and was destroyed by Masika's sea dragon's armor tail.
(Jaden/Haou: 6300 Kia/Masika: 5300)
"And there goes your only defense. Yay for me!" Masika cheered before she got a glare from Haou. "Oh yeah sorry; anyway I'm going to put my face down back on the field along with my field spell and that should do it for me." She finished as the field changed back to the sea temple.
"Wow, what a move. Masika just left Haou with nothing and Jaden just has Sparkman while Masika has her dragon, her field spell, and that face down plus Kia has that monster of hers for back up and my guess because of its weak level and Atk/Def points, it has to have an effect." Syrus stated as he looked from one side of the field to the other.
"Yeah, even if they have more life points, the girls are owning them at the moment." Chumley agreed.
"You two forgot that its Haou move." Alexis pointed out as she watched Haou draw from his duel disk.
Uh course her dragon would have a secret ability I didn't know about. My question is why she didn't use it during our first match? Haou just pushed that thought to the side as he looked at the girls' side of the field. My hand pretty useless at the moment but maybe… "I'm playing my Reload spell card which lets me put my whole hand back in my deck, shuffle, and then draw the same number of cards." He did just that and he smirked at what he got. Bingo; "I'm summoning my Infernal Hellhound in attack mode!"
Appearing in a blaze of black fire was a hellhound you would see in Greek Mythology pictures with black fur and blood red eyes that was growling at the two girls (Atk: 1000 Def: 600).
"Now that is pretty cool monster." Kia said looking at the hound like it just won first place in a dog show while Masika looked freaked out since she swore she saw blood dripping from one side of that monster's mouth.
"And he's only going to get better since once per turn, he can deal 500 points of damage to your life points." Haou explained before he looked over at Masika and narrowed his eyes. "Being nice doesn't save you from the wrath of my hellhound this time, Masika; Infernal Hellhound, its feeding time."
Jaden and Kia both covered their eyes and even Masika wanted to cover hers as the giant of a beast dog charged at her before it tackled her to the ground and bit Masika's right arm, causing her to scream in pain.
(Jaden/Haou: 6300 Kia/Masika: 4800)
"Haou, was the bite really called for? I mean, a simple fireball would have been just fine." Jaden said looking over at his brother as Infernal Hellhound ran back to his monster's side and Masika stood back at, rubbing her arm.
Haou ignored him as he continued his move. "Now I'm playing Dark Fusion to fuse the Infernal Hellhound that's on my field with the one that's in my hand to summon out Infernal Orthrus in attack mode!"
A second Infernal Hellhound appeared next to the first before they fused together and what came out of it was a monster that looked just like the first two hellhounds but this one had two heads instead of one (Atk: 2000 Def: 1600).
"And just like my hounds, Orthrus can also deal damage without having to attack but this time, it's 1000." Haou looked over at Masika again.
"Uh oh;" Masika mumbled as she took a step back but ended up tripping and falling on her butt. "Ow! Oh come on, I thought I was over my clumsiness by now!"
"Look on the bright side; at least you won't be tackled to the ground again. Instead…" Orthrus shot out a ball of fire from his mouth that hit Masika and sent her up in flames for at least a second before they disappeared.
(Jaden/Haou: 6300 Kia/Masika: 3800)
"Happy Jaden?" Haou asked which his brother didn't answer too. Haou rolled his eyes. "Fine don't say anything, I'm just going to have Infernal Orthrus attack and destroy Kia's Stygian Security!"
Orthrus shot out another ball of fire that hit the same fiend and blasted it to pieces.
"You just active my Stygian Security's special ability; when he's destroyed, I get to summon one field type monster from my deck and I'm summoning my House Duston in defense mode!" Kia countered as her giant of a house that she used against her first duel with Haou appeared on the field (Atk: 0 Def: 1000).
"Doesn't matter since Orthrus can attack twice pre round;" Haou replied as his monster shot out another fireball from his other mouth and destroyed the giant house.
"I would have thought after our last match that you would have learned better not to destroy my house. Now my little friends that live inside of it get to come out and play. So come on out boys!" Kia called as Red, Blue, Green, and Yellow Duston appeared on her field, all in defense mode (Atk: 0 Def: 1000 X4).
"Great those freaks again." Haou mumbled which got him a death glare from Kia. "Whatever just make your move, worm."
"Worm? Oh you're going down for that one." Kia said as she drew and a wide smirk formed on her face at what she just drew. "Boys, it's time to bring in the big guns."
"Oh yeah; time for some payback!" Green cheered.
"I'm going to send my four Duston monsters to the graveyard so I can summon out Starduston in attack mode!" The four colored Duston monsters disappeared in a flash of light but what took their place was something that surprised everyone, even Haou. What appeared behind Kia was this giant and I mean giant black squared Duston with quicksand eyes, large sharp teeth, and a star in the middle of its forehead (Atk: ?-4000 Def: ?-4000). "Meet Starduston everyone, the real star of my deck." Kia chuckled at that. "His attack and defense points are how many Duston monsters I used to summon him times 1000. But you know what the best part about him is? You two can't flip summon or special summon any more monsters or activate anymore spells/traps cards that's on the field as long as he's here."
"And that thing is just a level one monster?!" Jaden gasped in surprise to how OP her monster was.
"Yep sorry Jay;" Kia told him before she held up another card. "Now I'm going to play Double Spell. So by discarding one spell card form my hand, I can take one that was used early in the duel and add it to my hand." A card shot out of Masika's duel disk and over to Kai's hand. "You're okay with this?"
"If it mean we can take back the lead in life points then use all the cards you want from me, Kia." Masika replied with a smile.
Kia smiled back at that before she played; "I'm now going to play Stop Defense to change your Sparkman into Atk mode!"
"Uh oh," Jaden mumbled as he watched his light warrior being forced into attack mode.
"This is going to hurt in the morning." Sparkman agreed with his master just before Starduston attack him with a star beam that took out half of Jaden and Haou's life points.
(Jaden/Haou: 3000 Kia/Masika: 3800)
"Well so much for being in the lead." Jaden grumbled but he was soon taken by surprise as he watched Starduston turning into star dust and disappeared. "Uh what just happened?"
"Well…" Kia chuckled nervously. "Starduston might be powerful but he has one giant draw back. If we have more monster then you do, his destroyed." Jaden and Masika fell to the ground, anime style while Haou shook his head in disbelieve.
"God she's a female version of you, Jaden, but with anger issues." Haou mumbled.
"Wow, I don't know if I should be happy that Starduston is gone or sad that I wasn't the one to take it down. Oh well, what can you do about it now?" Jaden shrugged as he drew. He then looked at his hand and then at Haou and a grin formed on his face.
"You got something that can take down her dragon, Jay?" Haou asked looking out the corner of his eye at his brother.
"Something like that but I'm going to need your hound to do so." Jaden replied.
"You let me use Clayman to summon out my monster so go right ahead." Haou said before he added; "But I want him back right after this."
Jaden rolled his eyes with a small chuckle. "Okay fine but first I'm going to play Card of Sanctity which allows all of us to draw until we all have six cards in our hand." Everyone did that before Jaden continued his move. "Next I'm going to play De-Fusion to unfuse Haou's Infernal Orthrus to summon out the two Infernal Hellhounds in attack mode!" The two headed dog divide into the two hellhounds from before. "Now here's where the fun part comes in, I'm playing Inferno Reckless Summon. Since a monster was special summoned onto Haou's field, his force to summon all the copies of Infernal Hellhound he has in his deck. So bro, you got any fire dark dog?" He asked like they were playing gold fish.
Haou rolled his own eyes as another Infernal Hellhound appeared on his field.
"I take that as a yes. I'm finally going to play my Polymerization to fuse Haou's three Infernal Hellhounds together to summon out Infernal Cerberus in attack mode!" And as soon as Jaden said that, the three hounds fused together and what come out of it this time was a huge demon like dog with three heads that also looked like Cerberus from the Greek myths (Atk: 3000 Def: 2600).
"Okay….I want that card." Kia stated while Masika looked even more freaked out then last time from this fusion.
"Sorry Kia but he's not for sale or else Haou would kill me;" Jaden laughed a little at that. "But there are a few things you should know about Infernal Cerberus. He can deal 1500 damage per turn and he can attack three times. Sadly, if he does then he can't attack you directly but as you can see, one attack is all he needs."
"And you call my card OP." Kia said in even more awe before her eyes widen when she realized she had no monsters or spell/traps on her field to protect herself. "Oh crap…"
"Sorry Kia but I guess you're going to have to be Cerberus chew toy for a bit but first…." Jaden nodded to Cerberus who shot three fireballs at the Duston Duelist from each of its heads that burned away 1500 of her team's life points.
(Jaden/Haou: 3000 Kia/Masika: 2300)
"Now to finish this duel, Infernal Cerberus attack Kia directly!" Jaden ordered as the Beast of Hell changed at Kia.
"Sorry Jay but I'm protecting my teammate with this, Call of the Atlanteans!" Masika stepped in as her face down rose up and right after that, Mermail Abyssturge, Deep Sea Diva, and Mermail Abysslinde appeared on Kia's field, all in defense mode. "With this, I can special summon 3 level 3 Sea Serpent-Type monsters from my graveyard to protect Kia. Sorry Jay but better luck next time."
"Infernal Cerberus can also deal pierce battle damage." Jaden added to what he said early, making Masika and Kia's eyes widen. "And since he can attack three times per turn….game over;"
"And since my brother isn't going to say it." Haou smirked as he watched Infernal Cerberus destroy the three water based monsters. "Burn,"
(Jaden/Haou: 3000 Kia/Masika: 0)
"And that's game, girls." Jaden said with a smile while during his signature pose as the monsters disappeared. "Thanks for the sweet tag duel."
"Well I guess it's safe to say that you guys are going to do just fine in your real tag duel. I mean for calling out loud, you guys still had 3000 life points left!" Kia said smiling as while as she and Jaden high fived each other.
"Yeah and your team work is amazing!" Masika added as she looked over at Haou. "You must really trust your brother if your letting him use your own monsters."
"I don't trust Jaden with anything of mine but I didn't have much of a choice at the moment." Haou replied as he started to walk away.
….
"Oh man, oh man, oh man; why can't Jaden just stay in one place for five seconds?!" Syrus exclaimed as he was running down hallway after hallway, looking for his brunette friend. "Or he at least could have told me he was going to the Card shop!"
During the middle of the day the next morning after the practice tag duel, mostly everyone in the student body had calmed down after hearing the news about the future match to see if Jaden or Haou would stay or not and everything was back to normal…well normal for this place anyway. So everyone was doing their own thing. Chumley was sleeping in as usually, Masika and Alexis were studying together in the girls' dorm, Haou was being himself so who knows what he was doing at the moment, and Jaden and Kia decided to spent the day together by going to the Card Shop, getting as many packs at they could, then find somewhere quiet so they could open them all up. Syrus, who didn't want to be the odd man out, decided to follow after his friend and see if he could join them.
Just as he rounded the corner outside of the shop, he bumped into someone and Syrus fell back onto his butt from the sudden force. "Oh sorry, I didn't see you there…." However, before Syrus could say more, his eyes widen behind his glasses when he noticed who he just bumped into.
Out of all the students at Duel Academy, it turned out to be his older brother, Zane Truesdale.
"Z-Z-Zane?" Syrus stammered feeling like he just took a wrong turn into nightmare village and that nightmare was the cold motionless gaze that only Zane could pull off that was looking down at his younger brother.
"Syrus? Huh, surprised your still here. I would have thought you would have left after the first week." Zane said in his just as motionless voice, making Syrus sick to his stomach since he knew what his brother was going to say next. After all, he heard him say it over the phone when he told him he was coming to Duel Academy. "After all, we both know you don't belong here. You're just wasted your time. Now…just leave."
Syrus felt like he was going to burst into tears as Zane started to walk away. As soon as his brother was gone from sight, his tears started falling like crazy as he just sat there, feeling like the loser that his brother thought he was and the loser that Syrus knew he was.
Meanwhile at the same time, Jaden and Kia were both coming out of the card shop with a green bag filled with packs of cards.
"Remind me to bring you every time I go to the card shop, Kia. You got Dorothy to give us a great deal on these cards." Jaden said with a smile as he bumped shoulders with her.
"Well if you haven't noticed, Jay, I am quite the charming person." Kia said which got Jaden to roll his eyes at her.
"Yeah you wish, Kia." Jaden laughed before he suddenly stopped when he heard someone crying. "Hey, do you hear that?"
But Kia was already way ahead of him as she rounded the corner and was taken by surprise when she found Syrus sitting there, balling his eyes out. "Sy?"
"Wow, what the?" Jaden questioned as he appeared behind Kia and was taken by even more surprise then she was when he noticed Syrus. "Hey Sy, what's wrong? What the heck happened?"
"Nothing happened! My brother and I just have some outspoken issues, that's all!" Syrus then quickly stood up and turned to run away but Jaden grabbed his arm before he could get far.
"Okay first off, you have a brother? And second of all, what did he do to you? Come on Sy, if you're having a fight with your brother then you can always tell me. I have fights with Haou all the time so I should be able to help." Jaden told him.
"That's just it, Jaden! You fight and then make up but that's never going to happen with my brother and me! I'm always going to be a waste of skin for him!" Syrus yelled as he pulled himself free from Jaden and took off running towards the Slifer dorm.
Jaden just watched him go without saying or doing anything. He just frowned before he looked at Kia. "And I thought Haou was the 'greatest brother in the world'? But really, who the heck is Syrus's brother so I can teach him a lesson."
"Jaden…." Kia paused as she took a deep breath. "Syrus's brother goes to our school; a senior Obelisk Blue and the best duelist in our school. He's the Kaiser, the big man on campus. Zane and he's as good as his reputation precedes and I should know….I had a duel against him and he beat me in only two turns."
Jaden raised an eyebrow at that as Yubel asked in his head. "You're thinking of dueling him, aren't you?"
'Someone has to teach this guy that family members should treat each other with respect.' Jaden replied in his mind. 'Sure Haou mean and rude to me but that's normal for him and besides, he's doing it for my own good.' Jaden then looked at Kia, fully. "Well Kia, so what if he's the Kaiser around here. Where I come from, I was called king. I'm not scared of some scary big bad brother. Living with Haou can do that to a person. I'm going to duel Zane and find out what's going on between him and Syrus if it's the last thing I do."
Kia shook her head with a sigh. "Somehow, I knew you were going to say something like that and since you're as stubborn as a mule….need some help?"
Jaden blinked at that. "Uh what?"
"I said, 'do you need some help with trying to get that duel with Zane?' I mean after all, my afternoon is free." Kia shrugged as she held up the bag filled with booster packs. "Since I take it we're going to be opening these later then?"
"Yeah, I guess we are." Jaden smiled. "Thanks Kia,"
She shrugged again. "Hey, friends help each other out….plus…" A smirk formed on Kia's face. "I want to be there to see Zane kicking your butt."
Jaden fell to the ground, anime style, while Kia was laughing in a joking kind of way.
