I don't own Yu-Gi-Oh GX!
(Holy crap, that took freaking forever! A month and a few days after...god what the heck is wrong with me?! I blame my two psycho friends for this very late update (i'm joking guys, you two know that I think your both awesome :) ) But anyway, I also learned that fanmade chapters are pure evil to write when you try to add in a OC character. Which reminds me; the OC that added in this chapter is made by sUbSoNiCSoundwave who sent me a heck of a lot of fanmade cards to go along with this deck so I'll be listing those that were made by him/she when I list the fanmade cards. On another note, I will no longer be taking OC for season 1. I might again in season 2, 3, or 4 but I'm still deciding on that. Also for everything that did send me OCs, thank you very much for sending characters who could make this story turn into something great! For the other two people who sent me OC and are wondering when there going to be added in, don't worry, I will add in your character as soon as I can but I can't deal with the thought of doing another fanmade chapter at this moment but they will come in before the Shadow Riders do so don't worry like I said. Now onto the news about the poll! I must say, I surprised on how much you guys like Kia. Tigerzaley, the one who made her, is also very surprise about this. Who knows, she might just end up with Jaden after all but that's for me to know and you guys to keep voting if you haven't down so already. Now I hope you guys do like this chapter since it was a pain to write at times but hey, what can you do? Oh well, Read, Review, and hopefully enjoy this nightmare to write chapter. And don't worry, the next one won't take another month to write...hopefully XD)
"My how exciting! When I found out my very own niece was transferring here to Duel Academy, I knew that finally this school made a wish choice! Don't you agree, Elanor?"
Elanor Crowler, the very own niece of the Headmaster of the Obelisk Blue dorm Dr. *coughcross-dressercough* Crowler, looked up from the Duel Academy handbook she was currently reading and up, way up, at her very tall uncle. If they didn't use the same, for the most part, kinda of deck then you would never have guessed they were related.
Crowler was a very tall man who treated people he thought to be slackers with little to no respect what so ever. He was a self-centered, egomaniac, old man cross-dresser and he dueled the same way too; focusing on summoning out his Ancient Gear Golem to the field as quick as possible.
Elanor, on the other hand, was how you would say a midget, even shorter than Syrus Truesdale, but if you said that to her then you would go home with a broken nose or worse. She was four foot seven inches tall, and had what you would call a late bloomer's physical appearance, meaning she has no curves yet and had pale skin, grey eyes and short pale blond hair and was wearing a pair of thin reading glasses. Her uniform she modified to look more 'decent' in her own words, was her blazer being fitted with white sleeves and a longer knee-length blue skirt and a pair of black tights underneath plus a watch with an Ancient Gear decoration on it.
Elanor just shrugged to what her uncle said as she turned her attention back to the handbook. "If you call being kicked out of your last school for something you didn't do while you were the top student then being lucky enough to have a family member working at another branch of the five top Dueling Schools to convince the other staff members to let me in then yes, they made a wise choice." She replied.
Elanor used to be the top Freshman student at East Academy, a worldwide branch of Duel Academy, but after a prank went down at her old school and her taking the blame for it even though she didn't do it, she got kicked out only to be lucky enough to have made it into Duel Academy at the last second thanks to her uncle.
Though Elanor had a feeling she could have very well made it into the school even without Crowler's help. Elanor, you could say, was kinda a genius. If you ask her a question about Duel Monsters, she only needed to use ten words or less to answer it. But even though she was a genius, she was kinda childish in a way too since she liked to pull pranks, play video games, and to troll people on the internet.
"And finally, here's your room, Elanor!" Crowler said as he opened the door to one of the rooms at the end of the highway and Elanor looked inside. Most of the Obelisk Blue girls' rooms looked pretty much the same from what Elanor read in the handbook but from what she saw in the room made her sigh since she knew Crowler must have made someone do some remodeling.
The color of the wallpaper was the same, blue, but her room had a king sized bed in one corner with a flat screen TV facing it. There was also a high tech computer on top of a desk in the other corner and her own bathroom and a mini refrigerator.
Elanor raised an eyebrow at all of this as she walked over to her bed and placed her bag down on top of it before she glanced around the room thinking two things; When did they have time to fix all of this up and how the heck was this approved by the school board?
"Well, I must be going now. I have some tests that need grading. If you need anything then make sure to make some of these other girls help you and if they say no then tell them it was an order from me." Crowler told her before he closed the door behind him; leaving Elanor standing there with another sigh escaping her mouth.
…
"I still don't see the reason as to why we have to stay here." Yubel mused causing Jaden to look up from where he was editing his deck at his soul partner. "I mean, there's already a chance that you could get kick out of the academy so I don't see why they even bother to give you after school detention. That reminds me, how did you even get detention, besides your terrible grades, anyway?"
Jaden just shrugged in response. "I think Dr. Crowler had something to do with it. I think he's a little mad at me for the whole 'showing him the death note' thing." He then turned around fully in his seat to look at her. "And my grades aren't that terrible."
"That's like saying Haou isn't somewhat crazy, Jaden." Yubel replied with a shake of her head and a small chuckle before she looked further down the rolls to the front of the classroom. "Also on another note, where are Knospe and Ice Edge? I thought you were babysitting them again today."
"That's…..actually a good question." Yubel facepalmed while Jaden smiled sheepishly. "Yeah I'm the worst babysitter ever."
"Hey Jay-bear, look who we found!" Before Jaden could even acknowledge whose voice that was, he was tackled out of his desk seat onto the ground by some kinda of robotic dog and started to be brutally licked in the face by the said creature.
"We found Wroughtweiler!" Knospe exclaimed as the now small rose bub, along with her partner in crime Ice Edge, were both standing on top of the desk, looking down at their older brother, in both of their eyes, as he was trying to get away from the affection of the robot dog were laughing at the same time.
"Okay heel, boy, heel!" Jaden laughed as he was finally able to calm Wroughtweiler down to the point where he would stop licking him like crazy so Jaden could sit up. Jaden smiled as he scratched his dog monster behind his neck, causing the metal hound to start wagging his tail.
Even if he, along with all the other Duel Spirits that Jaden had, were just spirits, Jaden was still able to touch them like they had a physical form thanks to after long hours and days of training his powers along with Yubel's with the said guardian and with some help from Haou from time to time.
"The Lord of Gentle Darkness, being taken down by a robotic dog in two second flat." Ice Edge laughed which even cracked a small laugh to escape from Yubel's lips.
"And since Wroughtweiler is on our team and he defeated you, you have to be our butler for the rest of the day, Jay-bear." Knospe added as she leaped on over to hang on Jaden's shoulder. "And I want to have some Dark Side's Cookies!"
"I don't remember saying anything about teams or agreeing to be anyone's butler." Jaden told her before he laughed again. "And didn't your mother tell you you're off the sweets for two weeks?"
"But I want some Dark Side's Cookies!" Knospe whined before she looked up at Jaden with the puppy dog eyes. "Please Jay-bear…."
"I'm starting to think that I shouldn't have allowed you to hang out with Kia last night." Jaden shook his head with a small chuckle and a smile. "Knospe, you're not going to have any…."
"Jaden!" The Gentle Darkness ruler paused in what he was saying and looked up at the rows above him to see Syrus running down the stairs towards him.
"Oh hey, Sy;" Jaden said as his eyes flashed back to brown before Syrus could noticed. "What's up?"
"What's up? Haven't you heard what's been happening around school?!" Jaden just rose an eyebrow in question. "There's this new Obelisk girl whose been going around the school, taking down anymore she sees fit!"
"Sy, are you sure it's not just Haou in a wig and dress because that's kinda sounds like something he would do?" Jaden asked which got him grossed out looks from Ice Edge and Yubel from that image Jaden just burn into their skulls. Knospe wasn't paying attention since she was busy chasing after Wroughtweiler around the classroom now.
"I'm serious, Jay! I also heard that she's mostly dueling the weaker duelists right now! And you know what that means?" Before Jaden could answer, Syrus had dropped down to his knees and crawled right passed him to hide under his desk. "It means that I'm going to be next if she finds me!"
"Syrus, aren't you being a little over dramatic about all of this?" Jaden questioned, looking at his bluenette friend. "I mean, I wouldn't call you weak. Anytime you and I throw down, you make some amazing plays. Besides, if someone called me weak in dueling, I've prove them wrong in a duel. Plus what's the worst that could happen if you do lose? It's just for fun, right?"
"Yeah, making fun of me;" Syrus mumbled making Jaden sigh from disbelieve. "If it's a choice to duel against a pro in our school or hide under this desk for the rest of the day then I'm perfectly fine under this desk."
"Sy…" Before Jaden could give him another speech about facing your fears, a loud scream from two people echoed through hallways outside of the classroom.
"Is someone dying out there? It sounds like bloody murder." Ice Edge asked before he disappeared back into Jaden's deck and Yubel just raised an eyebrow in question before she disappeared as well, taking Knospe and Wroughtweiler along with her against their will to stay.
"Well that's our cue." Jaden stated and before Syrus could get a good grip onto the desk, Jaden had pulled him from out under. "Oh come on, Sy; what's there to be afraid of?"
….
Elanor really couldn't believe her eyes as she stared at the defeated forms of two Obelisk girls she just met, Jasmine and Mindy, at least that's what she thought they said their names was, as the two girls were hugging each other while crying like crazy since they both lost to her. The thing that Elanor found pathetic was that it was two against one and Elanor beat them without losing a single life point. Now why were they dueling in the first place? Because they both made a comment about Elanor being cute in appearance from her short height and baby like face. So in other words, call her cute or something along the lines of as a midget then you're asking for an ass kicking. Elanor hated being reminded of her 'problems' in life.
"And I through the screaming was annoying." Elanor mumbled as she looked over at the entrances to the dueling arena to make sure no one would come running in asking 'who was screaming' or anything like that. But then Elanor remember that school was over for the day and everyone must have returned to their dorms by now. Elanor rubbed her forehead temples from annoyance now from the crying until finally she lost it and glare back at Jasmine and Mindy. "Would you two stop your crying already?! I'm losing more brain cells by the second from just listing to this!"
Now Elanor wasn't the type of person to be mean to people, unless you say cute or tiny, midget, or anything along those lines to her, then you lost all chances of her being nice to you; and this might be a shock but Elanor was really quite the closed off person after what happened to her at East Academy. Most likely after today, she would be locked in her room, besides when she has to go to class, reading, playing video games, studying or watching cartoons. The only reason she wasn't locked in her room right now was because she just wanted to explore the island for a little bit to find all her classes and stuff.
Though the thing that Elanor didn't want to happen was to run into so many people, most of them calling her by one or both of the words she has come to hate with her very soul over the years, and she challenged them to duel without a second of thought. Most of them laughed at her, thinking she was cute or foolish but Elanor put them in their place very soon. Soon, like very soon, gossip started going around about her and she somehow got the title by some random male Obelisk as the Ancient Gear Witch since that were the type of monsters she used to duel with. Jasmine and Mindy just so happened to be the last two people that she faced today and Elanor was very well hoping they would be the last. She was tired and all she wanted was to take a nice hot shower and drink some Mountain Dew so hopefully she won't run into someone else who will make one or both of the comments to her and she won't lose it for the tenth time today.
"I think the screams came from over here, Sy." Elanor turned around when she heard that and blinked in surprised when two boys in Slifer Red jackets came running into the arena. The first boy had brown with a little bit of orange on the top hair that reminded Elanor of a Kuriboh and brown eyes as well. The other boy was short, and just about an inch or so taller than Elanor, had spiked blue hair, gray eyes and glasses.
"Jaden? Syrus?" Elanor looked out the corner of her eye when she noticed that Jasmine and Mindy had stopped crying for a second when the two male Slifers entered. "What are you guys doing here?" Jasmine continued.
"We heard someone screaming and we came to make sure nobody was hurt." The brunette, Elanor guessed to be Jaden, answered looking for one girl to the other then back again. "So is…uh everything okay?"
"Everything is not okay!" Mindy yelled, causing Jaden and the bluenette, Syrus, to flinch back from her sudden outburst. Mindy pointed at Elanor as she continued. "We lost a dueling bet to her and now we have to live in the Slifer Red dorm now!" After she said that, her and Jasmine grabbed onto each other again and started crying once more.
"What's so bad about the Slifer dorm?" Jaden questioned.
"And what do you mean you're going to have to live in it now?" Syrus added in confusion.
"It's just like they said; they lost so they have to pay up." Jaden and Syrus both looked over, or should I say down by a lot, as Elanor hopped down from the dueling field and over to them. "I challenged both of them to a duel saying that if I win, they had to live in the Slifer dorm for the rest of the year. I guess you can already guess how the duel ended and I find it sad too since it was two against one and I still ended up winning without losing a single life point." She ran a hand through her blonde hair as she added; "Though I find it even sadder that they thought they could beat me in the first place."
"Look uh…" Jaden paused when he realized he didn't know who he was talking to name.
"Elanor," The girl answered for him, crossing her arms over her chest.
"Yeah Elanor, you can't just challenge someone to a duel with something like a dorm demotion on the line or forcing someone to live somewhere they don't won't to." Jaden told her. "Plus, even if they wanted to move into the Slifer dorm, we're kinda out of rooms at the moment."
"Well that's too bad. Maybe they should have thought that through before they accepted my challenge." Elanor retorted. "And you better find some room and quick since these two idiots weren't the only ones to accept these kinds of stakes today; about nine or so more students are going to be moving in."
Right after she said that, Syrus started to put the pieces together in his head before his eyes widen big time. "Oh no!" He exclaimed as he hid behind Jaden, confusing the taller Slifer. "Jaden, you remember what I said about a new female Obelisk joining our school?" The brunette nodded. "That's her! She beat nine Obelisk Blues just in this very day! And I don't want to be added to that list!"
"Correction, some of the students I beat were Ra Yellows but I guess there aren't any more now, huh?" Elanor shrugged.
Jaden stepped forward so Syrus wasn't totally hidden behind him. "Okay Elanor, I don't know what you're deal is but you can't just come into this school and force students into our dorm just because you beat them. I don't even think you are allowed to do that!"
"Actually I can;" Elanor corrected him. "Let's just say I have some "special connections" and I can make sure those students get thrown right into Slifer. But…" She paused when she noticed Jaden's hand tighten into fists at his sides. "I'll make you a deal. How about a duel? Win and these two crybabies…" She glanced over at Jasmine and Mindy as she said that and almost facepalmed herself in the face when she saw they were still crying and hadn't been paying one bet of attention to anything that they have been saying up to this point. "…and all the other students I beat get to stay in their dorms but if I win….well since you're already in Slifer, you'll get expelled instead."
"Expelled? Huh well then I don't have much to lose then. I'm already getting expelled maybe." Jaden grinned as he raised his duel disk to show that he accepted but what Elanor replied with wasn't what Jaden thought she would say.
"I'm not challenging you to a duel." Elanor looked passed Jaden to where Syrus was standing as a pure look of panic crossed onto his face when Elanor gazed landed on him. "I'm challenging him. Syrus, wasn't it?" The small bluenette flinched when she said his name. "Syrus Truesdale? Younger brother of the school's top duelist, Zane Truesdale? Yeah I'm challenging you to this and I won't take no for an answer."
"Talk about picking on someone your own size." Jaden mumbled as he glanced over at Syrus who looked too scared to even speak from any of this to Jasmine and Mindy who were still boiling their eyes out to even know what was going on before his gaze finally rested on Elanor. "You got yourself a deal, Elanor. Syrus will take you on anytime, anywhere!"
"Say what?!" Syrus gasped, finally able to saying something when he heard what Jaden just got him into. "Jaden, are you out of your mind?!"
"Very well, meet me back here at midnight then." Elanor told them and as she turned to leave, Jaden stopped her as he said.
"But we can't. Off hour duels aren't allowed." Jaden just kinda wished he already knew that during the first time he and Chazz dueled.
"Don't worry about that. Just met me here or you're both getting expelled." Elanor stated as she exited the arena, leaving a normal Jaden, a scared/panic Syrus, and the two crying a river Obelisk girls, standing there.
….
"So let me get this straight, you and the idiot Syrus are being threaten for expulsion by a midget with power?" A small chuckle escaped from Haou's lips since he couldn't believe what Jaden just told him what happened all not too long ago in the duel arena. "Why do I always miss the good stuff?"
Jaden just shrugged in response. "Maybe because you think everything I do is boring half the time." He answered as he place a tin filled with cards he got from opening packs with Kia on the floor of Haou's rooms as he took a seat on the ground while his brother was leaning back in his desk chair, looking down at him as Jaden started to go through the cards that he gathered.
"Okay true and may I ask, what the heck are you even doing here?" Haou questioned, finally getting to the point on asking what his younger twin was during in his room in the first place.
"I'm trying to find if there are any cards in here that can help improve Syrus's deck before his match." Jaden answered, pulling out five cards at a time from the tin and placing them off to the left if they wouldn't work and to his right if they could work.
"And you can't do this in your room, why?" Haou asked in annoyance which got him a smirk from Jaden.
"Well your highness, if you must know. Chumley asleep at the moment and I don't want to wake him up and Syrus said he wanted to work on his deck alone. So I decided why not spend some time with my brother?!" Jaden grinned with a smug look on his face.
"Jaden;"
"Yeah?"
Jaden got hit right in the face by a pillow that Haou threw at him, knocking the demon fused darkness ruler onto his back from the surprise force.
"Get out of my room."
…..
Just like Jaden said, Syrus was in the Slifer mess hall, staring down at his Roid cards that he laid out in front of him on the table. Along with them were his spell and trap cards and with them was one card that Syrus placed off to the side, still wondering to this very day why he hasn't given it away to someone or just thrown it away.
Power Bond;
Ever since he got this fusion card from his brother and almost misplayed it in a duel against a school bully, Syrus always had self-doubt. Sure after he watched Jaden duel against Zane, he might have gotten a little bit more confidence in himself when he finally understood the difference between using a card and playing it but that still didn't change the fact that he was scared out of his mind.
He somehow got himself into a duel against the Ancient Gear Witch, Elanor, and if he loses then he and Jaden were going to get kicked off the island. Syrus didn't know how she could do that but from the serious tone that was the female Obelisk voice, he didn't want to find out.
Man, I knew it was a bad idea to go along with Jaden into the duel arena. Now look at what he's gotten me into! As soon as Syrus thought that, he regretted it. Jaden had become his best friend since he came to the island and here he was blaming him just because he believed in him when Syrus didn't.
What am I doing?! I can't just throw in the towel now! I'm not just fighting for myself. I'm fighting to keep Jaden and all those other kids that Elanor beat in their dorms! Syrus stood up from his seat and started to gather his cards. "Though I still wish we could just work this all out with a nice friendly chat..."
…
Elanor tapped her fingers on her desk as she stared at her computer screen while taking notes with her other hand off to the side with a small hand held notepad. On her screen were two student profiles; one of them being Zane Truesdale and the other being Syrus. How was she able to get them? Easy, she knew her uncles password and was able to get into his files about all the students in this school so she could learn all their strengths and weakness. You could call this cheating in a way but Elanor liked to call it 'studying her opponent in close detail".
While doing her research on the Truesdale brothers, Elanor found it weird how different these two were in their dueling styles. Sure they both used machine type decks, Zane being his Cyber Dragons and Syrus being Roids, but Zane knew how to play his cards in ways that some duelists to this day still didn't know how to while Syrus made so many beginner mistakes that even a beginner could beat him.
Elanor sighed in annoyance at this as she rubbed her forehead temples. She was kinda hoping for somewhat of a challenge since this was Zane Truesdale's younger brother she was about to duel. Even before she entered this school, she had heard about this guy from her Uncle Crowler. She only recently heard that Zane had a brother named Syrus in this school after she beaten an Obelisk who so happened to be friends with Zane. That's how she guessed that this Syrus was the one that was brothers with the school's top duelists. That's also why she wanted to duel him instead of Jaden. She wanted to be this Academy top duelist after that was taken away from her at East Academy. So she was going to beat Syrus to send a message to his brother that he was next.
"Now the question is…" Elanor looked over at the notes she had taken about Syrus and his deck and started to scan through them. "Should I bring my triple threats or not?"
….
After a few hours had pasted, midnight had finally come and against his own wishes, Syrus started to head over to the duel arena, duel disk on his arm and ready, with Jaden following right after him and surprisingly Haou decided to come along with them but only because he wanted to see Syrus get his ass kicked. Jaden sighed at that while Syrus started to feel sick to his stomach and was starting to regret his decision but before he could turn around and run away, he and the others had entered the dueling arena to find Elanor sitting down on the edge of the field, going through her cards before she looked up when she heard them walk in.
"I was starting to think you wouldn't show." Elanor said as she placed her deck into her duel disk and stood up.
"Wow, you weren't kidding when you said she was a midget." Haou said which turned Elanor's calm gaze to a quick and deadly one on the Gentle Darkness ruler.
"Who are you calling a midget, emo?" Elanor countered which made Haou raise an eyebrow in response.
"Emo?" Haou questioned but before he could say a smart mouth comment in return, he and Elanor were surprised at who stop them before a fight to break out.
"Look are we here to fight or are we here to throw down?!...well…I mean…" Syrus stuttered a little at the end as he made his way to one side of the duel field.
Elanor sent one last glare to Haou before she made her way to the other side of the field and activated her duel disk and Syrus did the same. Elanor said nothing as they each drew their five cards as their duel started.
(Syrus: 4000 Elanor: 4000)
"Now let's see if your idiot of a friend can actually duel, Jaden." Haou said as him and his twin stood off to the side to watch the duel.
"For your information, Haou, Syrus can duel." Jaden told him, defending his friend as he looked up at the said bluenette that was on the field before he looked over at Elanor.
"Well as the saying goes, ladies first." Elanor said as she drew and looked at the card she got along with her hand with a sigh. "Well I was kinda hoping for a better draw but I can make do with this. First I'm going to summon out Scrap Recycler in attack mode!" Appearing on Elanor's field was a machine type monster that looked to be a trash can on wheels with red eyes (Atk: 900 Def: 1200).
"And thanks to its effect, when it's summoned onto my field, I can send a Machine Type monster from my deck to the graveyard." Elanor did just that before she held up another card. "Next I'm playing Foolish Burial to send a monster from my deck to the graveyard." Once again, Elanor took out her deck and discarded a monster from it to the graveyard.
Syrus blinked behind his glasses as he watched all of this, confused on what she was trying to do. Why is she sending cards to her graveyard like that? He wondered.
"Finally, I'm going to play two face downs and end my turn." Elanor finished as a face down appeared behind her monster and another right next to the first.
"Uh…okay…I guess it's my move then." Syrus drew and smiled at what he got. Hey, it's my Patroid! He has an Attack of 1200 which is more than enough to beat her Scrap Recycler! After he thought that, Syrus played his monster card on his duel disk. "Alright, I'm summoning my Patroid in attack mode!" From a flash of red and blue lights, a cartoon police car with a face appeared (Atk: 1200 Def: 1200).
"Hey! Sweet move, Syrus! With Patroid's ability, he can now look at one of Elanor's face down and see what it is so he can counter it." Jaden commented with a smile.
"I wouldn't put money on that, Jaden." Haou replied with a shake of his head and before Jaden could ask what he meant, he got his answer.
"Now Patroid, attack Elanor's Scrap Recycler!" Syrus ordered his monster which in turned made the police car monster charge at Elanor's monster.
"I play my trap card, Scrap-Iron Scarecrow!" Elanor exclaimed as one of her two face downs rose which showed a picture of some kind of scarecrow made up of metals. The scarecrow then come out of the card and right in front of Patroid and took the hit from his attack instead of Scrap Recycle before it went back into the trap card and went face down again like it was never activated in the first place as Syrus's monster returned to his side of the field.
"Hey…uh…what just happened?" Syrus questioned making Haou mentally facepalm himself while Jaden looked just as confused as Syrus was since he knew seen this card before.
"Scrap-Iron Scarecrow is a trap card that blocks an attack from one monster per turn and instead of going to the graveyard, it placed face down once more so I can use it again and again." Elanor explained to the clueless Slifers before she added. "Though I find it funny how you could have seen my trap with your monster's effect but you just went right ahead and attacked."
"Oh….yeah…" Syrus mumbled in disappointed in himself but he took a card from his hand. "Uh…I'm just going to play a face down…I guess that's it for me."
"Come on, Sy!" Jaden called to him on the field. "You just made one mistake! Don't be so hard on yourself! There's always next turn!"
"If he has a next turn that is;" Haou mumbled getting him a 'you're not helping' glare from Jaden which Haou swore his brother learned from Kia.
Elanor sighed as she drew. "I can't believe I was hoping for more but I guess this wasn't the case." She mumbled as her other face down rose up which in turn made some kind of large blue blaster appear behind her. "I play my Cyber Summon Blaster. This continuous trap card deals you with 300 points of damage each time a Machine type monster is special summon onto the field." She then held up another card before she played it in her spell and trap zone. "I now play the continuous spell card, Fast Repair!" Appearing right next to her blaster was a light grey pulley machine with an arm at one of the ends. "Now with this card on the field, every time a machine monster is added from my graveyard to my deck or hand, I can summon it out onto the field instead." She explained.
"And when she does, Syrus will take 300 points of damage because of Cyber Summon Blaster." Jaden mused before he added. "Well it's a good thing she can't special summon at the moment."
"You are dead wrong, Jaden." Haou corrected him with a sigh.
"Now I activate my Scrap Recycle's second effect! Once per turn, I can take back two level 4 earth type machine type monsters from my graveyard and place then right back into my deck but because of the effect of my Fast Repair, I can summon them right out onto my field instead!" Two cards come out of her graveyard and Elanor picked them up. "One from Scrap Recycle's first effect and one from Foolish Burial; I now special summon to my field, Red Gadget and Yellow Gadget!"
Fast Repair's pulley arm dug into the ground and pulled out two different monsters that appeared on Elanor's field. The first one was a little red robot with two eyes and a silver gear on its back (Atk: 1300 Def: 1500). The second one was like the first one. It was a little yellow robot but with one green eye in the center, a gear in its chest, and a silver gear cut down in the middle on both sides of its back (Atk: 1200 Def: 1200).
"Gadget monsters? Didn't Crowler use those against you during the entrance exams?" Jaden asked his brother which Haou nodded to in reply. "What are the odds huh?"
"Not that high if you think about it." Haou replied as he looked back over at Elanor. The girl did remind him a bit of the said teacher in looks but just without the cross-dressing part and the fact that Crowler wore more makeup then she did. Plus don't get him started on how much taller Crowler was compare to this girl.
"Now it's time for my Cyber Summon Blaster's effect to kick in. Since I special summoned two machine type monsters, you get hit with 600 points of damage." Syrus's face grew pale at that as he looked up at the blast as it let loss a blast at the Slifer, shocking him and making Syrus cry out.
(Syrus: 3400 Elanor: 4000)
"If that hurts then you're going to be crying after this." Elanor said as she drew another card. "Because thanks to Scrap Recycle, I get to draw another card when I played his effect and speaking of effects, I play Yellow Gadget's. Since he was special summoned, I get to add Green Gadget from my deck to my hand and since I haven't normal summoned yet, I think I play my new monster right now!"
Just like the first two Gadget monsters, the final one was a little green robot with a silver gear for a body and one eye in the middle of it face (Atk: 1400 Def: 600).
"Red, Yellow, and Green; she was able to summon out three monsters in one turn." Jaden said impressed.
"And I don't think your friend is doing too well with all of this." Haou added which made Jaden turn to where Syrus was and finally noticed that the said boy hadn't moved or said anything after he was blasted.
"Now finally, I'm playing the spell card, Gift of the Martyr. By tributing a monster on my field, I can give its attack points to another one of my monsters until the end phase of my turn." Scrap Recycler disappeared from the field as Yellow Gadget's attack points went up by 900 points (Atk: 1200-2100). Elanor then pointed at Syrus's Patroid. "Eddie, if you don't mind?"
"Eddie?" Jaden questioned, wondering if he heard that right but he, and maybe even Haou but who knew with him these days, was taken by surprise at what happened next.
"Well I was wondering if we ever get to the good part, Elanor, since you take forever." Yellow Gadget, or what Elanor called him Eddie, replied in a snobbish way. "But I let it slide by if you pay me with a quarter later." Elanor rolled her eyes slightly at this before she mumbled a 'fine.' "Great, glad I could do business with you." After that, the Yellow Gadget charged at Patroid and uppercut the police car monster in the jaw, if it had one anyway, and destroyed it.
(Syrus: 2500 Elanor: 4000)
"Edd, Edward; you two mind finishing this duel off?" Elanor asked, looking at her other two Gadget monsters.
"Well uh course, Elanor. You know you can always ask me for help anytime." Red Gadget, or Edward, answered.
"Do we get pie afterwards?" Green Gadget/Edd asked.
A small and quick smile formed on Elanor's face from that. "Yes, you get to have pie afterwards."
"Yay! I like pie!" Edd cheered before he charged at Syrus.
"Hey wait for me! I'm not as fast as you are, remember?!" Edward called as he took off after Edd as they both went in for the kill.
"I play my trap…." Syrus countered just as the Gadget Brothers slammed into him at the same time.
Elanor lowered her duel disk after that. "Game…huh?" She stopped in confusion when she noticed something.
(Syrus: 1150 Elanor: 4000)
"You were able to activate your trap in time." Elanor guessed as her two gadget monsters return to her side of the field. Edward sent Elanor an apology look while Edd pouted since he couldn't get the pie sooner. Eddie just looked pure annoyed at this.
"Yeah that's right." Syrus replied as he stood back up since he was knocked down when he was attacked. "My trap, Damage Diet, cut your attacks in half so I only lose some of my life points."
"Wow, way to play, Sy!" Jaden cheered since finally, Syrus made a play that didn't backfire on himself.
Haou, however, didn't say anything as he glanced over at Elanor and her gadget monsters. How in the world did she get duel spirits?
"I don't know. How in the world did you get your hands on me; Mr. Tall, Dark, and Brooding?" Magician teased in Haou's mind though he ignored it for the most part.
"Well I must say; I'm impressed by your move." Elanor said as she raised her duel disk back up since the duel was still continuing. "I guess I end my turn there with a face down." She finished while Eddie's attack points went back to normal (Atk: 2100-1200) and a face down appeared on her field.
"Well I guess it my turn then." Syrus drew and looked at his hand. Wow that was close. I can't believe that worked! If I continue to play like this then I might just win this duel! "Well since if I do summon something that will be strong enough to take down one of your monsters; my attack will still be blocked by your Scrap-Iron Scarecrow so I play Mystical Space Typhoon to destroy it!" A mini typhoon appeared on the field and blew away Elanor's trap card for good.
"Syrus is finally starting to play smart." Jaden said with a smile.
"Yeah, he finally stopped playing like you do." Haou mumbled.
"Hey, what's that supposed to mean?"
"It's means that you're reckless when you duel."
"Hey! I win most of my duels thank you very much."
"Yeah from pure luck; not from skill."
Jaden actually looked a little bit hurt from that statement but he just guessed that his older twin was in one of his 'I don't care who I hurt' moods again so he chose to ignore it. Plus, like he told Kia, he was kinda used to it by now.
"Now I summon my Steamroid in attack mode!" Syrus continued as he placed a monster card on his duel disk and what appeared from it was a cartoon looking train (Atk: 1800 Def: 1800).
"And now I have him attack your Yellow Gadget!" Syrus exclaimed as his monster changed at the weakest gadget monster. "Oh and when Steamroid attacks a monster, he gains 500 Atk points!" (Atk: 1800-2300 Def: 1800)
"Say what now?!" Eddie didn't get any further than that as he was run over by the train monster and destroyed.
(Syrus: 1150 Elanor: 2900)
"Wow, I can't believe that worked…" Syrus mumbled as his monster returned to his field as its attack points went back to normal (Atk: 2300-1800 Def: 1800). "I guess I end with a face down…" A face down appeared on his field.
"Finally you start to play smart…" Elanor looked at the card she drew and played it. "…so I'm going to counter that with my Pot of Greed. This allows me to draw two more cards." She did just that before she activated her face down. "I now actived my Call of the Haunted trap card. This allows me to special summon a monster back from my graveyard and I choose my old pal, Eddie."
Yellow Gadget reappeared on her field. "You owe me another quarter for that one, Elanor." He growled at her.
"Would watching this guy getting shocked by the effects of Cyber Summon Blaster work for you?" Elanor asked as her blaster fired off another blast at Syrus; making the small bluenette cry out and taking away another 300 of his life points.
(Syrus: 850 Elanor: 2900)
"Okay…maybe that will make up for it." Eddie replied as Elanor held up another card; a card that Jaden and Haou were both all too familiar with.
"I now play Polymerization to fuse the three Gadget Brothers together to summon out Gadget Machine King in attack mode!" Elanor exclaimed as three gadgets disappeared into a dark void before something emerge in their place. The new monster looked like Stronghold the Moving Fortress but with a yellow crown on its head, a green scepter in its right hand and a red chain mail cape (Atk: 2700 Def: 2000).
"Duel spirits and a fusion monster?" Jaden mused in awe at what he was seeing now.
"I'm starting to think that people are just copying us…" Haou mumbled in annoyance.
"Now my Gadget Machine King's ability activates. He gains 100 attack points for each machine type monster that's in my graveyard and so far there are a total of 4 of them so he gains 400." Elanor explained as her fusion monster's attack points went up (Atk: 2700-3100 Def: 2000).
"3100 attack points?" Syrus gasped before he suddenly got shocked again by Cyber Summon Blaster effect.
(Syrus: 550 Elanor: 2900)
"You're only down to your last 550 life points and this attack from my Gadget Machine King will finish the last of those off. Gadget Machine King attack Steamroid and finish this duel off!" Elanor ordered which her King nodded to before he charged at Steamroid with his scepter.
"I play my trap, Negate Attack!" A shield of energy appeared around Steamroid, protecting the monster and forcing G.M.K. to return to his master's side of the field. "This trap end the battle phase so my monster is safe." Syrus explained.
Elanor sighed at this. "Well I must say, you're playing better than some of the Obelisk I faced together but you're just wasting time now. During my next turn, my Gadget Machine King will finish you off."
Syrus gulped at that as he slowly drew his next card. "….Uh….I play my Pot of Greed so I can draw two more cards…" He drew his next two cards and Syrus freaked out when he saw the second one he drew. Oh no…Power Bond!
Haou narrowed his eyes at this. "What's he just standing there for?"
"I think Syrus just drew Power Bond…" Jaden told him.
Out of all the cards I could have drawn…why did it have to be Power Bond?! I'm not ready to use this card… Syrus placed it in his hand before he took another card out. "I summon…."
"Syrus!" Syrus stopped suddenly as he looked down at where Jaden and Haou were standing. "What do you think you're doing?!" Jaden continued looking up at the bluenette with a disappointed look. "Sy, if you have the card then you have every right to use it."
"But Jaden…"
"No buts. So what if you made one mistakes; you still made some amazing plays in this duel so you shouldn't let what Zane said get you down. If he was here right now, I bet he would say the same thing." Jaden told him with a smile.
"I bet five bucks that he wouldn't." Haou mumbled under his breath, getting him another 'you're not helping' glare from his brother.
Syrus looked back at the said card as he took a deep breath. Jaden right, I can't let fear keep holding me back. He thought as he held up his card. "Alright, it's time to end this duel! And I'm going to make sure that happens with this, Power Bond!"
Jaden smiled came back at this while Haou just shook his head.
"With this, I can fusion summon out a machine type fusion monster with fusion materials monsters from my hand or field! So I'm going to fuse my Steamroid with the Gyroid that's in my hand to fusion summon out Steam Gyroid in attack mode!" A light blue cartoon looking helicopter appeared next to Steamroid before they fused together and what appeared from them was a monster that looked like Steamroid but with Gyroid's wings and thanks to the add effect of Power Bond, the new monster's attack points were doubled (Atk: 2200-4400 Def: 1600).
"Power Bond huh? Nice move but only one problem with it, you still can't beat me. Even if you did attack and destroy my Gadget Machine King, I still have life points left over and you will take the side effect damage from using Power Bond. Also, speaking of damage; since you special summoned a Machine Type monster, you get hit with another 300 points of damage." Elanor said as her Cyber Summon Blaster fired one more blast at Syrus, almost taking out all of his life points.
(Syrus: 250 Elanor: 2900)
For once, Syrus didn't yell as he was shocked. Yes he flinched from it and he looked like he was in a whole lot of pain but he didn't scream. "Yeah you're right, Elanor. Steam Gyroid can destroy your Gadget Machine King but not the rest of your life points and that's why I have this little card right here." Syrus held up one more card.
Elanor's eyes actually widen when she saw what he held up. "Limiter Removal…." She gasped as she watched as once again, Steam Gyroid's attack points doubled (Atk: 4400-8800 Def: 1600).
"8800 Atk points?! What?! This can't not be!" Elanor exclaimed in disbelieve.
"Do the math, midget genius, the idiot just beat you." Haou said rolling his eyes which got him a death glare from Elanor and made Jaden sigh in wonder on why he allowed his brother to come alone again.
"Uh…thanks Haou?" Syrus said sweat dropping before he added. "Now Steam Gyroid attack Gadget Machine King with Train Twister!" The helicopter train monster whistle as it spanned its wings super-fast to create a small twister that blew away G.M.K. and destroyed it along with Elanor's life points.
(Syrus: 250 Elanor: 0)
"I still can't believe this idiot won." Haou mumbled while Jaden went crazy.
"Yeah! Way to play, Syrus!" Jaden cheered as he ran onto the field to high five his bluenette friend.
"Thanks Jay and thanks for finally talking some sense into me." Syrus replied with a smile before it quickly faded away when he noticed that Elanor was walking over to them. "Uh oh…"
"Relax Syrus, I'm not going to hurt you." Elanor told him. "I just wanted to say that a deal is a deal. I won't force those students I beat to live in your dorm. Also you get to stay on the island."
"By the way…how were you going to get them demotion anyway? And for that matter, how were we able to use this arena without Campus Security walking in on us?" Jaden questioned.
"My Uncle is Dr. Crowler. He doesn't mind anything that I do. Heck, I just asked him if I could have a midnight duel in the arena and he just gave me the go ahead and let security off for the night." Elanor explained before she looked over when she heard a fate chuckle.
"So wait, your uncle is the blonde hair cross dressing teacher that we all hate?" Haou asked before another chuckle escaped him. "Oh man this is too good."
"So your point is?" Elanor questioned with an eyebrow raised.
"Well I just don't get how a midget could be the niece of someone who is tall as heck and a cross dresser while we're at that." Haou answered which made Elanor lose it.
"Say that again and you're going to have to sleep with one eye open for now on, buddy." Elanor warned him.
"Don't make me laugh, midget."
"Even to this day, I find it funny how Haou has made it to where every girl he has met will hate his guts in five seconds or less." Yubel said appeared next to Jaden with an amused smile on her face. "I'm kinda just waiting until Masika snaps at him now."
Jaden just nodded in agreement expect to that last part. 'I don't think so on that last part, Yubel.' He replied to her in their shared soul connection as he looked over at Haou and Elanor threating each other. 'I think Haou might just let that wall of this break down and move on after what happened to Lilith.'
