I don't own Yu-Gi-Oh GX!

(Well after another month; I finally finished the tag duel! This only took so long for many reasons. 1. I been healing from my third surgery 2. I was going back in past chapters to fix my grammar mistakes (I think I got all of them but if I missed some then it's because it didn't save and I wasn't going to redo it again twice in a roll) 3. Home schooling is taking up all my time 4. Writers block and 5. me just being to freaking lazy to write XD but yeah, I got it done! The next chapter will also be up pretty fast (hopefully) since I don't have to come up with a duel! (I'll explain more about that when I post the next chapter which will be fan made so I can add in another OC) but yeah, I hope you guys enjoy this chapter; read and review as always and yeah, enjoy!)

Dr. Crowler was walking through the hallways of the Academy building, passing by a lot of Slifer Red duelists as he was heading towards his office. Just look at them; pathetic slackers littering the campus like vermin. The hallowed halls of MY Duel Academy are for the elite, not for the lame, not for Jaden and Haou Yuki!

Crowler stopped suddenly when he got a picture of the said twins in his head. "THOSE SLIFER SLACKERS HAVE MADE A FOOL OUT OF ME FOR LONG ENOUGH!" Crowler yelled which scared the Red Students into running into the nearest classroom. "But soon, they will pay most dearly for it. With what I have planned, they will be the one that will look like fools."

"Dr. Crowler;"

Crowler turned around when he heard that to see Chazz Princeton walking up to him to talk. "Ah Chazz, how can I help you, my boy?"

"You can put me in the Tag Team duel against Jaden and Haou that's how!" Chazz answered him. "This time, I know I can beat Jaden and send him packing. His brother will just be a bonus."

"Sorry but you'll be sitting this duel out, Chazz." Crowler revealed making the Obelisk blink in surprise. "Don't get me wrong, your skills are admirable but I'm afraid I'm not taking any chances on this one. If Jaden and Haou lose here then they're be expelled from Duel Academy once and for all. So that's why they're facing the greatest Tag Team duelists in the world!" Crowler burst into maniacal laugher as he walked away, leaving Chazz standing there in frustration.

…..

Meanwhile at the Slifer Red dorm, Jaden was sitting at his desk, going through his deck one more time before the big Tag Duel match. Chumley and Syrus were watching him; both were surprised to see how calm his mood was.

"How can you be so calm?" Chumley questioned after a while.

"What's not to be calm about? It's just another duel on another normal day." Jaden said over his shoulder with a shrug.

"But this isn't just another duel, Jaden. It's an elimination Tag-Duel and if you and Haou lose then you'll be on the next bus out of here." Chumley pointed out to him.

"Speaking of Haou, where is he? Shouldn't he be here too?" Syrus added in.

"He said he had something important to do this morning." Jaden answered with another shrug before he turned around in his chair to look at his two friends. "And duh Chumley, that's why we're not going to lose. Haou and I might have our differences at times but the one thing we both can agree on is that we both don't like to lose duels. You guys seen how we'll we worked together during our practice Tag Duel against Kia and Masika so think how we'll we're going to do together today since we know all that we got to lose. Also Chumley…" Jaden raised an eyebrow at him. "We're on an island so bus?"

"Whatever but maybe you should give me your meal card just in case if worst comes to worse."

"Thanks for the vote of confidence." Jaden replied sarcastically.

"Well someone got to eat your grilled cheese if you go."

"Okay just for that; if we do lose, I'm letting Pharaoh have my share."

"Jaden..." The brunette looked over at Syrus when he started speaking again. "Look, I know you and Haou are great duelists but what if Dr. Crowler got like pros to go up against you guys?"

Jaden actually grinned at that idea. "Then we get a chance to take down pro duelists and make a name for ourselves."

"Yes because being a ruler of darkness itself isn't the greatest title ever." Yubel mumbled sarcastically, appearing next to the close doorway. "And really Jaden, that cocky attitude and overconfidence of yours is really going to be your down fall one day."

'Thanks for that reminder.' Jaden replied in his head before he turned back towards Syrus and said, honestly. "Sy, I know you're worried and I'm sure everyone else that's good friends with us is too." Well Jaden could only guess that was half true since most of his friends that he made since coming here either were afraid of Haou or they just hated him. "But I promise you that we're going to win this match and if not." He shrugged before he said in a joking way to calm Syrus's nerves. "Then you have every right to say I told you so."

Syrus sighed softly at that. "Okay Jaden, I trust you. I just hope you know what you're doing."

"Hey Sy, don't I always?"

"That's a big fat no." Yubel stated which got her a fake glare from Jaden.

"Well good luck, I really want you guys to win the match." Chumley said honesty as Jaden was about to walk out of the door.

"More than you want the grilled cheese?" Jaden asked looking back over at his friend.

"I rather have you as a friend then have extra grilled cheeses."

"And Haou?"

"Well…uh…"

"Hey, its fine, Chumley; I know you guys are still scared of my brother. But really, he's as sweet as a puppy once he opens up to you." Jaden said which got him a 'are you high/drunk' look from Yubel. "But still, I think I might just cry from that last part too." He smiled as he headed out. "See you guys later once I find Haou!" He called.

"God, it's so boring in here!" E-HERO Magician complained for the tenth time now which finally made Haou lose it as he glared at his monster who was just laying on top of a table with a pure 'bored out of my mind' look on her face.

"We're in a library, what did you expect?" Haou asked her in annoyance before he turned his attention back to his deck and took out Magician's card and looked at it for a few seconds before he just sighed and placed it back in his deck. "You're so freaking lucky, Magician, that you're still useful."

"You always make me feel so loved, Haou." Magician replied with a roll of her eyes before she looked around to make sure they were still alone in the far corner of the library so no one would noticed that Haou was 'talking to himself' or the fact that his voice sounded like the devil was talking. When she noticed that they were, she turned to look back at her 'master' as Haou made it pretty clear about her roll in life. "So are you finished with editing your deck for the millionth time yet?"

Haou didn't answer her as he looked at two cards he held in his hand. One of them was a spell card while the other was a monster; a monster that Magician and Yubel hated to the core along with many of the other Elemental HEROES. Still, Haou placed it, along with the spell card, into his deck when Magician wasn't playing attention. "Yeah, I'm done." He answered as he placed his deck back into its holder as he stood up from the chair he was sitting in.

"Finally, I thought I was going to die from boredom." Magician mumbled as she sat up on the table before she sent a smirk to Haou. "So tell me something, my lord and master, are you really just going to win this tag duel so Jaden could stay on this island? Because I know how much you hated wanting to come here in the first place and since you give up finding that dark energy, I don't see why you want to stay here."

"I'm not just dueling for Jaden, Magician." Haou said looking back at her before he continued. "I'm dueling because I want to stay here too."

"Oh yes; I forgot you have D.T.R. with that sea duelist." Magician replied which made Haou raise an eyebrow at her in question. Magician rolled her eyes. "D.T.R: Define the relationship. And I guess you already know who the sea duelist is."

"I don't like Masika that way." Haou growled at her. "I will say that she has become someone I can call useful, despite her clumsiness and over cheerfulness at times and maybe a friend but if you say that she and I are dating or even imply it one more time; I will feed you to the Hellhounds in my deck, Magician." He warned her before he said. "Also, if anyone got D.T.R., as you call it, then it's Jaden and that idiot of an Obelisk girl Kia that he always hangs out with nowadays." He added that last part, bitterly.

"Oh is someone feeling neglected?" Magician teased with a smirk. "Oh don't worry, Haou, I will never leave you so you'll always have me."

"Yeah that's the thing, Magician; I want you to leave me alone." Haou told her before he waved his hand in a dismissal matter. "Now leave me be; I have to get to the duel arena for my duel and I don't want to feel you breathing down my neck the whole time."

"I said it once and I say it again, you make me feel so loved, Haou." Magician mumbled before she snapped her fingers and just like that, she was gone.

"Annoying little pest;" Haou grumbled as he started heading out for the duel arena.

"I completely agree with you on that one, Haou." Someone or something said in Haou's head with a dark chuckle before it continued. "Oh I can't wait to see the look on her face when she sees whose back in town."

Whoever that was, it's comment made a smirk form on Haou's face.

…..

At the dueling arena, students and teachers were flooding the seats; all of them waiting for the duel to start.

"Attention! The Disciplinary Duel is about to begin! Remember, these are test conditions! This is a sudden expulsion match!" Someone said over the loud speaker.

Bastion was sitting in one of the many seats of the arena, listening to the announcement with his arms folded. "A bit harsh I'd say…"

"Yeah, no joke;"

Bastion looked over to his left to see Alexis taking a seat next to him. With her was Masika who took a seat next to Alexis. The Ocean duelist didn't look all too happy at the moment.

"We're the reason why Haou and Jaden are in this mess to begin with." Masika stated sadly, continuing from where her friend left off. "They were helping us out at the abandoned dorm. If anyone should be punished, it should be us." Masika lowered her head as Alexis placed a hand on her shoulder to comfort her.

"I see…" Bastion replied with a nod.

"Now if anyone gonna need help, it's them." The Ra and the two Obelisks looked up a seat above them to see that Kia had appeared to join in on the conversation. While Masika looked depressed, Kia looked flat out annoyed at all of this. "I heard that Crowler got two professional duelists to go up against them, tag team legends, duelists that worked for the Creator of Duel Monsters himself. Crowler really wants them gone if he's gone to all of this trouble."

"Send in the accused: Jaden Yuki and Haou Yuki!"

Chazz sat in an empty section of the audience, next to the entrance. He was still really pissed off that he wasn't going to be the one to send the two Slifer Slackers packing. When he saw the two Reds enter the arena, he kicked the seat in front of him, making his followers turn to look at him.

"Wow, the acoustics in here are great." Jaden noted with a smile.

"We're not here to listen to the acoustics, Jaden." Haou told him as he started walking toward to the field. "We're here to win."

"I know that; I was just….oh never mind." Jaden shook his head with a sigh as he followed after his twin.

"You Slifer Slackers;" Chazz growled as he gripped the arms of his seat, his knuckles were pure white as he tried to calm himself down. "I should be the one that takes you two down but I guess as long as someone does it, it won't really matter."

"Hey sweet, Syrus and Chumley made it." Jaden smiled when he noticed his pals finally showed up while Haou just rolled his eyes, not caring in the least.

"And I thought running…was supposed to be healthy…" Chumley gasped trying to catch his breath as he leaned on the railing while Syrus didn't look any much better.

Zane was also in the arena with his arms folded as he looked down at the Gentle Darkness twins. Time to see if the Yin Yang twins can work together; He thought.

Also here to watch this was Elanor who was sitting by herself. Sure she was anti-social but even she, after meeting the twins during her duel against Syrus, wanted to see this match unfold.

Crowler was already standing in the center of the dueling field as Jaden and Haou stood behind him, ready to see who they were going to be facing. "And now, without further ado, allow me to introduce our special guest duelists…."

Two men flipped onto the stage. They were both bald in Chinese robes, one wearing orange and the other was green. They had strange markings on their foreheads as well. Everyone watched astonished as they flipped over Jaden and Haou and landed behind them.

"Who are they?" Jaden wondered out loud while Haou just raised an eyebrow in question.

"The Paradox Brothers!"

"Salutation, you fools." The one dressed in orange greeted.

"Hope you're ready to duel?" The green one added.

"Huh, I never heard of these guys." Jaden stated looking over at his brother to see if he knew anything about them. Haou didn't say anything and Jaden just took that as an 'I have no idea either'. "Maybe this tag-duel won't be so bad…"

"Perhaps since they haven't dueled in ages;" Crowler reveled from behind the two boys. "They only lost to one boy under the name of Yugi Moto."

"Just to the King of Games?" Elanor mused out loud before she shook her head. "Uncle Crowler, you haven't changed one bit."

"These guys are said to be the best tag team duelists in the world. This is hardly fair!" Alexis declared.

"Yeah no kidding;" Masika agreed as her frown widen.

"I think that was Crowler's point. Statistically speaking, I put Jaden and Haou's odds at winning at one in fifty." Bastion stated which got him a glare from Kia.

"Bastion, if you don't have anything helpful to say then don't say anything at all." Kia told him in an annoyed tone.

"Hey Chumley! Syrus!" Chazz called up to the fat and small Slifers with a smirk. "Looks like there's going to be a whole lot more room in your dorm now. Your friends are toast."

"Not lishous at all." Chumley mumbled in worry and Syrus nodded in agreement with a gulp.

"Crowler?" Sheppard called from the sidelines. "Don't you think this is a bit much?"

"Not at all; Jaden and Haou broke a big time rule so they should duel big time opponents." Crowler argued. "Besides, we can't send the brothers back now since they've come so far."

"Oh what does it matter? You're the one paying the two men their travel costs." Sheppard pointed out which made Crowler's eyes bug out. "Jaden, Haou, I leave the choice up to you two."

"These guys can't even beat male pattern baldness so there's no way they'll beat us." Jaden replied with a grin before he turned to his brother for his answer.

"I really didn't care who we had to duel. Really, I just thought you were going to set us up against a pair of students from here but instead, you made it so it would be one pair of twins against another. And you know what I have to say to that?" Haou raised his duel disk. "Bring it on."

Sheppard grinned at this while Crowler rolled his eyes. "Oh how wonderful clever." The doctor mumbled as he walked back over to the middle of the field with a microphone in hand. "Duelists prepare to battle!"

Both teams took to a side of the field as they activated their duel disks.

"The rules of this duel are quiet simple. Each team will start with 8000 life points. There will be no sharing strategies, no sharing of advice, and no sharing of cards that aren't already on the field. You can, however, use cards on your partner's field and graveyard. Now the order of this duel will be Haou, Para, Jaden, and then Dox and no one can attack during their first turn. Understand?" Crowler asked after he finished explaining the rules.

"Yeah!" The duelists answered while Haou just stood there and nodded.

"Alright, then duel!" Crowler leaped off the stage.

(Jaden/Haou: 8000 Paradox Brothers: 8000)

"It's time to get your games on!" Jaden exclaimed as he drew his five cards before he looked over at Haou. He shared a nod with his twin before Haou started the duel off.

The darker twin drew his sixth card and summoned it out onto the field. "I summon Evil HERO Infernal Gainer in attack mode." The demon warrior of hell appeared on Haou's field (Atk: 1600 Def: 0).

"You must be joking. I am surprise that thing even has an attack mode. But with defense points like those, it kinda has to have one. But this on the other hand…" Para, the one in orange, paused as he drew and summoned out a giant orange and brown spider in attack mode (Atk: 2200 Def: 100). "…Jirai Gumo!"

"An overgrown bug?" Jaden questioned as he drew with Yubel standing by his side as always. "That's nothing that our decks can't squash. I summon Elemental HERO Ocean in defense mode." The shark warrior appeared kneeing down (Atk: 1500 Def: 1200).

"The best defense there is you fool…" Dox, green robe, started as he drew. "…is a good offense! Kaiser Sea House attack mode!" A blue and purple sea house looking warrior appeared carrying a yellow spear (Atk: 1700 Def: 1650).

"Now everyone has a monster out on their field. All Dox has to do now is end his turn and then…I really can't believe I'm saying this…Haou can start kicking their butts." Kia said before she placed a hand to her throat. "And I think I just threw up a little in my month for saying that."

"I now choose to play a Spell Card from my hand known as Tribute Doll!" Dox exclaimed as he continued his move. "To active it, I must sacrifice one monster on our side of the field. It's a good thing my brother is so generous with his." The brothers shared a nod. "Farewell Jirai Gumo!" A black vine appeared out of the Tribute Doll card and destroyed the spider. "Now I can summon a level 7 monster this turn and I choose Kazejin!" A green metal machine that only had a pair of arms and had the mark of the Japanese kanji on it appeared in a gust of wind (Atk: 2400 Def: 2200).

"He sacrificed his brother's monster to summon a better one for the team; now that's tag team dueling." Bastion mused.

"Would you mind not trying to sound so impressed by them, Bastion?" Alexis asked; the annoyance in her tone was pretty clear.

"Even if I don't like it; I have to agree with Bastion on this one, Lex." Masika murmured. "It's still just the first round but already they got two monsters on the field that can easily take down Haou and Jaden's."

"Guess it's a good thing that this is just the first round so no one can attack." Kia mused before she turned her attention back onto the field.

"Do you actually think you know anything of this game?" Para asked as he and his twin started their rhyming taunts again.

"You're losers, you're jokes, and in other words, you're lame." Dox finished.

"And if they think this is starting to get grueling."

"Wait until I give them a true schooling."

"I really hope your dueling is better than your rhyming since I'm really starting to get sick of it." Haou growled at them in annoyance.

The Paradox Brothers ignored him as Dox continued his turn. "I play Dark Designator! This powerful spell allows me to call out any name of any monster that I can think of and it it's in my brother's deck, it is added immediately to his hand!" Dox put on a fake thinking face before he pointed at his brother. "Now let me see…Sanga of the Thunder!"

Para laughed as he drew the card. "What do you know? It's right here, ready to tear them asunder."

You've got to be kidding me! Another level seven monster? Jaden thought.

"These guys are really not playing around." Yubel said and Jaden nodded in agreement.

"This duel is just starting…" Para started.

"Yet, it is almost done…" Dox continued.

Both of the brothers pointed at the other set of twins. "For your demise has already begun!"

"You're just trying to make me pissed off, aren't you?" Haou questioned with another growl as his turn finally came around again and drew. "Fine, you want me dueling angry then you got it. I sacrifice Jaden's E-HERO Ocean to summon out Evil HERO Malicious Edge in attack mode!"

"Wait what?" Jaden was taken by surprise by the move as Ocean disappeared from his field and Haou's signature monster appeared on his (Atk: 2600 Def: 1800). "Uh Haou; not to be a back seat driver here but…."

"Haou knows what he's doing, Jaden." Yubel told him as she glanced over at Haou's field. "He's playing really smart here."

"Since you guys control a monster on your field, I only needed one sacrifice to summon him out onto the field. Now, I play Evil HERO Infernal Gainer's effect!" Haou smirked as Infernal Gainer changed into dark energy that flew right over to Malicious Edge. "By banishing Infernal Gainer, Malicious Edge is now allowed to attack twice per turn and during my second Standby Phase after activating this effect, Infernal Gainer returns to my field in attack mode."

Jaden blinked a few times as Haou explained all of this before a wide grin formed on his face. "You gave up my monster just so you could keep Infernal Gainer on the field to power up Malicious Edge!"

"And you just thought I was being selfish again, huh?" Haou asked with a roll of his eyes in disbelief before he pointed at Kazejin. "Malicious Edge, you know what to do. Cut him to pieces!" Malicious Edge smirked devilishly as he threw his needles at the Spellcaster monster.

"Not so fast, you fool!" Dox counted as Kazejin stood its ground. "I activated Kazejin effect which drops your monster's attack down to zero until the end of the Battle Phase!" Kazejin shot out a blast of wind that blew the needle attack out of the way (Atk: 2600-0 Def: 1800). "So much for all that work."

Haou just held up a card and flipped it over to show them. "I play the Quick Play spell, Forbidden Chalice. This gives your Kazejin 400 more Atk points but its effects are negated until the End Phase."

"What?!" The Paradox Brother gasped together as the both watched as the monster's attack points changed (Atk: 0-2600 Def: 1800) (Atk: 2400-2800 Def: 2200).

"Sure you're monster is now stronger than Malicious Edge but there is one thing I can still do." Haou smirked as he pointed at Para. "Attack you direct." Malicious Edge took the hint and attacked the orange brother with his claws.

(Jaden/Haou: 8000 Paradox Brothers: 5400)

Haou sighed after the hit. "I was really kinda hoping for at least somewhat of a challenge today. Oh well," He placed two face downs to end his turn before he looked over at Jaden. "Sorry for not asking to use Ocean." He said biting back his pride from saying something like that.

"Hey it's no problem, bro. You just took away a heck of a ton of their life points. If anything, Ocean and I are happy about it." Jaden told him with a smile. Though I just hope Haou's face down can protect us since I got nothing on my field now to protect our life points and plus its Para's turn.

"Wow, talk about a comeback for the Yuki twins." Alexis said impressed.

"I guess the Paradox Brothers aren't the only ones that know about teamwork. I put there odds at 50/50 after that play." Bastion calculated.

"Yeah but Haou left Jaden totally defenseless out there with nothing to protect him from being blasted." Kia pointed out, glaring daggers down at the darker Yuki twin.

"I'm sure Haou knows what he's doing." Masika defended him. At least I hope he does. She thought.

"You curse some brat!" Para started.

"How dare you do that!" Dox finished.

"And their rumoring again." Haou grumbled from annoyance.

"Though it matters not after I play this; Monster Reborn and being back the frightful Jirai Gumo and I'll also play the Spell Card, Tribute Doll!" Para began as his monster reappeared on his field and the spell card that his brother used took effect.

"Oh come on! Not again!" Jaden groaned while Haou just sighed.

"Yes again and again I'll sacrifice Jirai Gumo to summon another level 7 monster: Suijin!" The spider monster was once again destroyed so it could be replaced with a stronger monster which this time it turned out to be a blue pair of legs with a mouth in the midsection (Atk: 2500 Def: 2400). "But I'm not done yet!" Papa continued as he looked over at his twin. "Mind if I borrow a monster, brother?"

"Please, that's why he's there." Dox offered.

"I sacrifice Kaiser Seahorse!" The said monster was covered in a black aura. "In case you did not know, when summoning a light attribute monster, Kaiser Seahorse's sacrifice counts as two instead of one which is why I can now summon Sanga of the Thunder!" The third monster on their side of the field was an only a dull bronze armored top with arms (Atk: 2600 Def: 2200).

"Now I place those odds at 500 to 1." Bastion commented.

"What are the odds of you shutting up about their chances of winning?" Alexis asked as she was kinda starting to get sick on how Bastion kept on changing his mind every few seconds.

"Seriously Bastion, I will tap your mouth shut if I hear that again." Kia told him which made the Ra shut up and getting her a frown from Masika.

"Three monsters on our side; what could be better?" Para asked.

"I know, brother, when they all come together." Dox answered.

"Oh boy," Jaden mumbled while Yubel grew tensed at his side.

"Prepare yourselves! I sacrifice Suijin, Kazejin, and Sanga of the Thunder so I can now summon the ultimate monster: Gate Guardian!" Para exclaimed and in a huge burst of light, a compilation of the three monsters appeared. Sanga was the head and arms, Kazejin was the torso and Sanga of the Thunder was the legs (Atk: 3750 Def: 3400).

"A level eleven monster and the duel just started all not too long ago." Yubel mused before she glanced at Jaden to see how he was doing.

"Well this is going to hurt." Jaden groaned.

"For once you are right; Gate Guardian attack him directly with Tidal Surge attack!" Para ordered which then Jaden brace for impact as he was knocked down onto his back from the cannon of water with lightning attack.

"Yep that hurt;" Jaden groaned in pain as he slowly got back up; never once did Haou look as him as he did so.

(Jaden/Haou: 4250 Paradox Brothers: 5400)

Crowler started chucking when Jaden got knocked down. "Do those two actually think they have a chance of beating Para and Dox? They stink worse than dirty socks. They even have me doing it now." He laughed.

Elanor glanced down at her uncle and sighed. "How am I relative to him?" She always wondered when he started acting like this.

"Poor Jaden;" Masika murmured looking down at the younger Yuki twin. "I hope he can recover after a blow like that."

"Jaden strong; he can handle anything that comes he's way." Kia told her before she glared down at Haou. "But for Haou's sake, he better hope that his face down wasn't something like Negate Attack or he and I are going to have words." She growled that last bit under her breath.

"I know it hurt…" Para mocked.

"But it's about to get a whole worse." Dox finished.

"Worse than you're rumoring?" Haou questioned.

"No worse for them;" Jaden said before a smirk formed on his face. "Since after all, the bigger they are the harder their fall."

"I can't wait to see you try." Para said as he ended his turn with a face down.

"Then I guess it's time to get to work. Here goes;" Jaden drew and he grinned at what he got. "Well this will help; so here goes my Pot of Greed! This allows me to draw two more cards!" Jaden grinned widen when he saw what he got. "And two pretty sweet cards if I may add! So let's start out with this, A HERO Lives!"

Haou finally glanced over at his brother when he played that, mostly just because Jaden had to pay half of their life points to use its effect.

(Jaden/Haou: 2125 Paradox Brothers: 5400)

"Since I have no monsters on my field, I can special summon a level 4 or lower Elemental HERO from my deck to the field and the HERO I'm picking is…" Jaden took out his deck and held up the card he picked. "….my old pal, Knospe!"

Haou facepalmed as soon as that name was said. "Seriously?" He grumbled.

"What?" Jaden asked him as the female child plant monster appeared on the field in attack mode (Atk: 600 Def: 1000).

"Hi everyone!" Knospe exclaimed making almost all the female students in the stands to say "aww".

"Jaden, we're going up against a giant with 3750 Atk points and you choice to pick Knospe at a time like this? Even with her effect, you be a sitting duck if they decided to attack her." Haou told him with a growl of annoyance

"Says the guy who left me with nothing to defend myself from their first attack;" Jaden replied back making Haou shut up. "Don't worry; I know what I'm doing."

"I really hope so;" Haou mumbled glancing away.

"Now time to regain control of this duel, I play Polymerization!" Jaden exclaimed as he held up his fusion card. "I fuse together Elemental HERO Clayman with Elemental HERO Burstinatrix that are in my hand to summon out my Elemental HERO Rampart Blaster in defense mode!"

The HEROES of earth and fire appeared on the field as they fused together and what they created was a monster that looked like a female version of Clayman with more armor equip to her. She was wearing a flame pattern visor, had a blaster on her right arm, and was carrying a red with a tan yellow outline shield in her left hand (Atk: 2000 Def: 2500).

"Wow, talk about a full house." Rampart Blaster mused as she glanced around the arena before her gazed finally landed on Gate Guardian. "Jaden, what did you get yourself into now?"

"A whole lot of deep trouble;" Yubel answered for him while Jaden grinned, sheepishly.

"Figures," Rampart sighed softly as she loaded her blaster. "Well just say the word and let's get blasting."

"You got it;" Jaden replied as his grin widen as he glanced over at the other side of the field. "Hey Paradox Brothers, you know what's the best part about Rampart Blaster is? She can attack you guys direct even when she's in defense mode as long as her Atk points are cut in half for the attack."

"Our life points!" The Paradox Brother's gasped as Rampart armed her blaster at them.

"Say hello to my little friend;" Rampart said as she blasted away 1000 of their life points.

(Jaden/Haou: 2125 Paradox Brothers: 4400)

"Yay! That's looks like fun!" Knospe looked over her shoulder at Jaden. "Jay-bear, can I join in?"

"Have at it, Knospe." Jaden answered with a smile and Knospe shrieked in joy as she also attack the brothers directly with her Seed Bomb attack.

(Jaden/Haou: 2125 Paradox Brothers: 3800)

"Knospe can attack you guys directly and when she does battle damage, she gains 100 Atk points but loses 100 Def points." Jaden explained as Knospe pointed changed (Atk: 600-700 Def: 1000-900). "But sadly, she won't be staying for much longer since I play Rose Bud. With this, I can sacrifice E-HERO Knospe to summon out Elemental HERO Poison Rose in defense mode!"

"Oh, I wanted to play some more." Knospe sighed before she smiled. "Oh well, bye Jay-bear!" With that, Knospe disappeared from the field and replacing her was her mother, Poison Rose (Atk: 1900 Def: 2000).

Poison Rose raised an eyebrow as soon as she appeared. "I'm not even going to ask." She said as soon as she noticed who Jaden and Haou were facing against.

"Yeah, it's better not to." Rampart agreed. "Knowing Jaden, this doesn't really surprise me."

"I'm standing right here you two." Jaden commented before a small chuckle escaped him as he looked over at Haou. "How was that for a come back?"

"They still have more life points than we do, Jaden." Haou pointed out. But Jaden was able to summon out two monster with high defense points in one turn and with Poison Rose' effect, the only monster that Gate Guardian can attack is her now. He thought kinda impressed but he made no comment to that as he looked over at Dox since it was his move now.

"A lucky move but that won't save you. I'll draw!" Dox exclaimed as he drew his next card. "I active the Equip Spell, Fairy Meteor Crush and I'm equipping it to the Gate Guardian! Now where the Guardian attacks a monster in defense mode, the difference between his attack points and your monster's defense points are dealt to you as damage!"

Are you freaking kidding me right now? Haou thought with a growl as he glanced down at one of his face downs. Not like I can use it for anything else at the moment. "Time for a counter attack with my Mystical Space Typhoon spell card to destroy yours." He counted as one of his face downs rose up and a small typhoon appeared from the card, heading straight towards the equip spell to destroy it.

"You have fallen right into my trap!" Para revealed which made Haou raise an eyebrow as Para's face down rose up. "I activate Judgment of Anubis! Foolish boy, this lets me stop your spell card simply by discarding one card. Your typhoon has just been downgraded to a cool summer breeze." Haou's spell card was then dissolved into nothing once Para sent a card to the graveyard. "But wait, that's not all it does. Anubis also destroys one of your creatures."

Haou watched as Malicious Edge was blown to pieces by the trap card's effect. "Son of a bitch," He grumbled.

"And then its attack points are dealt back to you as damage, pretty cool special feature!" Dox finished.

"But wait, since Malicious Edge had 2600 Atk points and Jaden and Haou only have 2125 life points left…" Alexis went quiet after that.

"They lost…" Bastion finished for her.

Haou looked annoyed, even more so then when his favorite monster was destroyed, as he glanced up at Bastion in the stand then back on the field. "There's no way in hell I'm losing to these freaks." Haou's second face down rose up. "Listen up, Paradox Brothers, you can counter my spell card, destroy one of my best cards, you can even knock my brother onto his butt but there's no way I'm letting you two beat us since I play my trap card, Nature's Reflection! With this, any effect damage that we would take this turn from your trap's effect turns into damage for you two idiots instead."

The Paradox Brothers, heck even Jaden, were shocked by that as the Paradox Brother ended up taking 2600 points of damage instead of the Yuki twins.

(Jaden/Haou: 2125 Paradox Brothers: 1200)

"This is why you don't mess with the best." Haou growled at them.

Jaden let out a breath he didn't realize he was holding. "Wow that was close." He looked over at Haou and smiled. "Nice save bro,"

Haou made no reply back as he was waiting to see what Dox would do next.

"It doesn't matter if you saved yourself for the time being. You're backs are still up against a wall but in fact the wall is right in front of you! I play this and a face down to end my turn." Dox played a gray brick wall with pipes for arms in defense mode (Atk: 0 Def: 2100). "It's called Defense Wall and as long as it's on the field in defense mode, all the monsters you have can only attack him!"

"The Gate Guardian on offense and that wall on defense; almost flawless;" Bastion commented.

"Bastion, we get it." Alexis told him, irritated.

"Now are you going to say something helpful or am I going to have to move?" Kia asked him, irritated as well.

"Well guys, maybe we should look on the bright sides of things. Haou and Jaden do have more life points now after Haou's quick thinking and Jaden gave them a good defense and offense wall of monsters plus its Haou's turn so I'm sure he's going to play something awesome." Masika pointed out with a smile.

Back on the field, Haou began his turn as he looked at the card he just drew and a wide smirk formed on his face at what he got. Finally, now it's time to regain control of this duel. He thought. "First, I play my De-Fusion on Jaden's Rampart Blaster to bring back E-HERO Clayman and E-HERO Burstinatrix to the field in attack mode."

Jaden blinked at this as his fusion monster returned to his extra deck and his two normal monster appeared on the field (Atk: 800 Def: 2000) (Atk: 1200 Def: 800). However, Jaden choice not to question it since the last time Haou did this; it ended with them in the lead even if it was for a short time.

"Now, I'm going to sacrifice those two heroes to summon out Evil HERO Magician in attack mode." Haou continued as the two good heroes disappeared from the field to be replaced with Haou's crazy fiend Spellcaster (Atk: 2500-3000 Def: 1800).

"Finally, I was starting to get bored of just watching this train wreck unfold. Now this is really a show since I'm here now. You all must feel so honored to be in my presents right now." Magician said with a smirk as she looked over at Haou who wasn't paying one tiny bit of attention to her.

"Now for the fun part." Haou smirked devilishly as he held up the card that he just drew. "I play the magic of Forbidden Spell! Since I have Evil HERO Magician on the field, I can play this card to summon out Evil HERO Shadow Sorcerer in attack mode!"

"You're doing what now?!" Jaden gasped as soon as he heard that monster's name being said. Yubel bit her lip to keep herself calm and as for E-HERO Poison Rose; just the look of pure rage that crossed her face told everyone everything they needed to know.

However, Magician looked the worst, even if that was hard to believe, as she turned around fully to look at her master. "Haou are in insane?! What are you thinking?!"

"Clearly, he's thinking that you needed to be replaced." Something chuckled darkly which turned out to be the new monster that Haou just summoned to the field. This monster was male who looked to be a cross between a spellcaster and fiend type monster like Magician was but he also looked like an assassin too. He had black hair with streaks of red, black armor that you would see a spellcaster wear, black fingerless gloves, a belt that was carrying daggers, a dark wand strap to his black that was hidden under a cape that looked just like Phantom Magician's and blood red eyes that were just like Magician's (Atk: 2800-3300 Def: 2000).

"Hey sis," Shadow Sorcerer smirked in Magician's direction. "Miss me?"

"No, I was kinda hoping that you would stay in the hole THAT I THREW YOU IN!" Magician snapped back a reply which only made S.S. roll his eyes but that smirk never left his face for a second.

"Thanks for that reminder; remind me to pay you back for that later." The male fiendcaster's eyes then wondered over to Jaden's side of the field where he was met with a death glare from Poison Rose, a sigh from Yubel, and Jaden wasn't paying tell to the monster as he was still staring at Haou in disbelieve for summoning one of the monsters that almost destroyed their family when they were little.

"Well hello again, Yubel, I see you're still as lovely as ever." Shadow Sorcerer grinned widen when Yubel did glare at him this time and Poison Rose looked almost outrage from the fact that he was ignoring her after what he did.

"Can it, Shadow;" Yubel warned him. "You have no right to speak to us after all the stuff that you pulled."

"I still don't see what I did that was so bad that made you guys hate me so much you allowed my own sister to throw me into the pit with all the other evil spirits." Shadow replied almost in a bored like tone.

"YOU TRIED TO KILL MY DAUGHTER ALONG WITH OTHER DUEL SPIRITS!" Poison Rose shouted at him.

"Oh yeah that; still don't see the problem though." Shadow smirked as he was enjoying every second he got to watch as Poison Rose looked ready to beat the living daylights out of him and she would have too if it wasn't for the fact that they were in a middle of a duel at the moment. "Now can we please get to the bloodlust already, Haou? It's been forever since the last time I got to sharpen my blades on another monster." The dark sorcerer wickedly grinned.

"Haou, do you have any idea of what the heck you just did?" Jaden asked still in pure shock at what just happened. Really though, Jaden should be used to this by now since he knew his brother all too well but yet, he's still taken by surprised when Haou decides to add one of the cards that Yubel and him forbidden Haou to use. First it was with Evil HERO Ruler and now he decided to put S.S. in his deck and this time actually summoning him onto the field.

Haou finally turned his gaze over to his brother. "What I just did was a play that's going to insure us victory and take down that Gate Guardian."

"I like to see you try;" Para challenged.

"Careful for what you wish for, you might just get it. But first and foremost, we need that Defense Wall off the field. Magician, make yourself useful and start breaking down some stones." Haou ordered her.

"Yeah, get to work, peasant." Shadow added smirking and even now, Magician looked ready to strangle the life out of the spirit.

"I'm going to enjoy every second when I kick your ass back into the pit, brother." Magician told him with an innocent smile that held no meaning in it what so ever as she fired off a blast of dark energy at the wall with arms and destroyed it.

"Now for the big guy; Shadow, get to it."

"Gladly;" Shadow Sorcerer smirked as he pulled out a dagger from his belt.

"The pressure must be getting to you since you failed to notice that our Gate Guardian has more attack points than your weak little monster does." Dox pointed out.

Shadow narrowed his eyes at the mention of him being weak and little. "I only have one thing to say to that; you're going to bloody die." Right after that, he threw his dagger right at Gate Guardian which all he did to it was give the giant of a monster a deep cut on his forehead before Gate Guardian countered attack but to everyone surprise, besides the darkness twins and their monsters, Shadow Sorcerer dodged the attack and took his place back on Haou's field without one life point lost from his attack.

"Huh? What is the meaning of this?!" Para exclaimed.

"You're sorcerer should have been destroyed or at least your life points should have dropped! You must be cheating, that's why it missed!" Dox added.

"When Shadow Sorcerer attacks, he can't be destroyed and we don't take damage." Haou explained as he ended his turn on that note.

"Strange, if he knew his attack was going to fail then why did he attack at all?" Bastion wondered out loud.

"Maybe Haou knows something that we don't." Masika guessed.

"I hope your right, Masika." Alexis said.

Kia reminded quiet since she didn't know what to think at the moment. From her place in the stands, she could only hear bits and pieces but she had heard the fight that broke out between the spirits on the twin's field; mostly the past about Shadow almost killing Knospe in the past and putting it off like it was no big deal. What kind of duel spirit would try to hurt, let alone kill, their own kind? Kia wondered in disgust.

Elanor was also able to hear the fight from her seat too. This guy must be really bad if they had to lock him up in a pit and from the way that those spirits are treating him that must be the case. She thought before she began to wonder how the Yuki twins had so many duel spirits in there decks and how they were able to see all of them.

"How pathetic you must be to even think you could destroy the Gate Guardian. I should destroy that monster that dared to try to insult it but thanks to your brother's E-HERO Poison Rose, I can only target it for attacks. Gate Guardian, Tidal Surge attack!" Para ordered his monster.

"Well this sucks…" Poison Rose grumbled as she was destroyed by the giant hydro cannon of water.

"And don't forget about the effects of Fairy Meteor Crush! The different between Gate Guardian's attack points and your monster's defense points are dealt to you as damage!" Para added.

(Jaden/Haou: 375 Paradox Brothers: 1200)

After that attack, Jaden hadn't made a move. He was now looking at the ground; his hair was shadowing his face from everyone's view. Only Haou was able to see his face but he didn't say anything.

Those Slifer Slackers are getting the beat down they deserve! They only have 375 life points left to their name! One more attack and it will wipe them out! I can't wait until they lose and get expelled from the Academy! Chazz thought with an evil grin on his face. Mostly Jaden! That slime! Thinking he can become the next King of Games when that's my destiny!

"I'm a genius, a pure genius!" Crowler chucked. "First I lead them into the Abandoned Dorm, than I arrange this tag duel as punishment, and then I hired the best tag team duelists to ensure they lose and get expelled!" Crowler burst out laughing like a mad man.

"So Crowler, enjoying the boys' punishment a little too much, aren't we?" Crowler jumped since he forgot Chancellor Sheppard was sitting right behind him.

Crowler replied nervously; "Oh my no, you misinterpret. I'm just laughing because I'm happy the duel's nearly done. Our students are looking weary and I don't want their suffering to last much longer."

"They don't look like their suffering much to me." Sheppard said pointing at the Gentle Darkness twins. "In fact, Jaden looks like he's getting his second wind." Crowler looked back over at Jaden after that.

Jaden had his head back up and he had a determined look on his face. If you knew him really well, then you knew that you were screwed when you saw that look. The Paradox Brothers, however, didn't know what that meant.

"Well, well, the Slifer Red forges ahead when a smart duelist…" Para said.

"Would have fled;" Dox finished.

"Oh man, I'm starting to wish the Academy made us Slifer Orange so we wouldn't have to put up with so many of these awful rhymes." Jaden mused.

"That's something that you and I can agree on for today;" Haou admitted while the Paradox Brothers looked insulted by the comments.

"Forget about our rhyming…"

"Just concentrate on your card playing."

Jaden shrugged. "Well okay then but just a quick question; are you sure you want to give us advice when you have zero monsters on your field?"

"What are you talking about, you fool?" Para questioned but right after he said that, Gate Guardian suddenly dropped down to one knee and was breaking off into many pieces.

"Huh? What did you two do?!" Dox gasped while Haou had a smirk growing on his face.

"Yeah never call me weak again." Shadow chuckled as he placed the dagger that he used to attack Gate Guardian back with the others on his belt and right after he did so, Gate Guardian came crashing down in pieces and was destroyed.

Everyone was frozen in shock before the Paradox Brothers decided to break the silence.

"Gate Guardian's cooked!" Para cried in disbelieve.

"I can hardly look!" Dox added to what his brother said.

"Shadow Sorcerer also has another effect. When he attacks a monster, that monster gains a Revenge Counter and once it destroys one of our monsters, it's destroys itself at the end of the damage step." Haou explained smirking like the devil and so were S.S. and Magician.

"Okay I might hate you, Shadow, but even I have to admit that was awesome." Magician smirked.

"Well uh course it was, I was the one that destroyed it after all." Shadow replied running a hand through his hair with a smug look on his face.

Yubel rolled her eyes at that. "Cocky little brat." She mumbled.

"At least he took back the lead for us." Jaden pointed out.

Right after that, the crowd burst into cheers.

"Alright!" Chumley cheered.

"They took back the lead again!" Syrus added.

"No, this is supposed to be punishment!" Crowler was in even more disbelieved then were the Paradox Brothers at this point. "The crowd's treating them like heroes! Chancellor Sheppard, please tell me you're seeing this right now!"

"Yes and great job on that, Crowler. You planned a duel to show everyone about teamwork at its finest." Sheppard replied.

"Did you see that? Did you? Tell me you just saw that?" Bastion asked shocked at what just happened.

"Bastion, I'm sitting right next to you. What do you think I'm looking at?!" Alexis questioned trying her best not to roll her eyes. "You know what amazes me more than them taking down that Gate Guardian? The teamwork they used to do it. That's what it's going to take to win this."

"Well if you want to call it teamwork." Kia pointed out. "I don't even think Jaden was fully aware of Haou's plan until the last second."

"Well at least they have one less thing to worry about now." Masika said smiling.

"You know in truth, I was hoping it wouldn't have come to this." Para started as he continued his turn.

"But for destroying Gate Guardian we should really…thank you." Dox added.

Jaden looked confused from that while Haou started to grow tense.

"They say what doesn't kill you only makes you stronger and it's true." Para said as he held up a spell card. "After all, we're not beaten yet and we're about to become more powerful than ever! I play Dark Element! This spell card can be played when Gate Guardian is in the graveyard. Now by paying half our life points…"

(Jaden/Haou: 375 Paradox Brothers: 600)

"We can summon a monster that can't be beaten in battle."

"Dark Guardian!" The Paradox Brothers called out together which then black smoke came out of Para's graveyard and took the form of a man in armor carrying an axe and was riding some kind of demon looking spider (Atk: 3800 Def: 3800).

Bastion and Alexis's eyes widen at the new beast. "Invincible in battle and with almost 4000 attack points?" Bastion gasped.

"This is really bad…" Syrus mumbled.

"Out of the frying pan and into the microwave;" Elanor muttered.

"Since it's no longer my battle phase, I must end my turn on that note. Now let's see if you can face the power that is known as Dark Guardian!" Para challenged.

"Fine, I will." Jaden replied drawing his next card. Though the only question now is, how? Dark Guardian can't be destroyed in battle. Though their life points are a different story….. Jaden thought, a grin started to form on his face as a plan was hatched. "Well everyone, how about we give a warm welcome to my newest Elemental HERO Blazeman!"

A small ball of fire appeared on the field before it took the form of a warrior. Jaden's newest E-HERO was a blue skinned warrior in orange chest armor, boots, and helmet with black pants and gloves. He had flaming hair, literally, and some kind of contraption on his back that appeared to be six torches (Atk: 1200 Def: 1800).

Elanor facepalmed; "That's not what I meant by microwave, Jaden." She grumbled.

"Was the 'warm' part pun intended, Jay?" Blazeman asked looking over at his master.

"Maybe;" Jaden answered with a grin making Yubel roll her eyes before she smashed him, lightly, upside the head. "Ow, alright, I get serious." Jaden removed his deck from his duel disk and took out two cards from it. "When Blazeman is summoned to the field, I can take a Polymerization from my deck and add it to my hand and that's not all. During my Main Phase 1; I can send an Elemental HERO from my deck to the graveyard and Blazeman gains that HERO's Attribute, ATK, and DEF until the End Phase of this turn and the E-HERO that I'm send to my graveyard is Elemental HERO Bladedge."

After sending his golden HERO to the graveyard, the flames on Blazeman's turn brown in color to show that he was now an Earth Attribute monster while his points changed as well (Atk: 1200-2600 Def: 1800).

"Next I'm going to play the H - Heated Heart spell card. With this, Blazeman here gains 500 more Atk points to add to his name." Jaden continued to power up his monster as he play the card in his spell and trap card zone.

"Puns for days huh?" Blazeman said as his attack points rose up once more (Atk: 2600-3100 Def: 1800).

"Impressive moves, boy, but they still won't do you any good." Para started. "Dark Guardian attack is still higher at 3800."

Jaden raised his duel disk and the field spell zone opened up. "Who said I was done? I'm playing Skyscraper!" He placed the said card in and the field changed so they were surrounded by buildings. "Now when an Elemental HERO battles a monster whose attack points are higher than its own, it gains 1000 more Atk points."

"And this is why Jaden is one of the best drawers of all time." Haou mumbled to himself as he watched as Blazeman's Atk points went up one last time (Atk: 3100-4100 Def: 1800).

"4100 Atk points still will do you no good. Have you forgotten that Dark Guardian can't be destroyed in battle?" Dox questioned.

"Oh I remembered but your life points are a different story." Jaden replied before he ordered Blazeman to attack Dark Guardian. It ended up standing up to the attack but the Paradox Brother still lost some points.

(Jaden/Haou: 375 Paradox Brothers: 300)

"Oh man, this is so close. Any giant hit to either side's life points will be it for them." Masika mused.

"I end my turn with a face down." Jaden finished as the second to last card in his hand appeared face down and since it was his End Phase, Blazeman's attack points went back to normal (Atk: 4100-1200 Def: 1800).

Dox began his turn with that, drawing a card before he played his face down. "I active my face down, One-on-One Fight! This trap forces the highest Attack point monsters to do battle with each other."

"But the monster with the highest attack on our field is…." Jaden paused as he glanced over to Haou's field where Shadow Sorcerer was smirking like the devil again as he drew one of his daggers. "Crap…" He groaned.

"Well this is going to be fun." Shadow smirked but before he charged at Dark Guardian like the said monster was at him, he stopped himself when Magician gave him the "are you an idiot' glare. "You have something to say, peasant?"

"Yeah, you're going to die and I'm going to enjoy every second of it." Magician replied in that innocent tone again.

Shadow rolled his eyes after that before he charged at Dark Guardian again.

Haou just sighed at all of this. "Jaden, you mind stopping him before he ends up killing himself and losing the duel for us?"

"Got it;" Jaden said as his face down rose up. "I play Hero Barrier! Since I have a face up Elemental HERO on my field, I can block one of your attacks."

Just as Dark Guardian and Shadow Sorcerer were about to attack each other; a barrier appeared in between them and stopped the fight.

"Seriously?" Shadow growled at them in annoyances as he went back over to Haou's field.

"Yeah seriously? You couldn't have just let him die?" Magician asked, getting her a death glare from her brother.

"Even though we all want Shadow to die, Magician, we kinda want to stay on the island more." Yubel pointed out with a sigh.

"Well I feel loved." Shadow grumbled sarcastically.

"It makes no difference now if you save your monster or not since all of them are going to be destroyed once I play this, Raigeki!" Dox ended his turn on that note as three lightning bolts came down on the two Evil HERO siblings and Elemental HERO Blazeman, destroying all of them, and leaving Jaden and Haou with nothing.

"Their defenseless again!" Syrus gasped.

"Totally not lishous;" Chumley agreed.

"What a cheap shot." Jaden grumbled before he sighed since there was nothing he could do about it and instead turn towards his brother. "Well Haou, I guess it's all up to you now. You think you can pull us a win?"

"Jaden, you been my brother for how many years now and you still ask me those stupid questions when you already know what the answer is?" Haou rolled his eyes as he drew and smirked at what he got. "Checkmate," He murmured just as E-HERO Infernal Gainer reappeared on the field. "Since it my second Standby Phase after activating his effect, Infernal Gainer returns to my field in attack mode. Now I play Dark Calling! By banishing Fusion Material Monsters from my hand or graveyard, I can special summon a fiend type fusion monster. So I'm going to fuse together my Evil HERO Malicious Edge along with Jaden's Elemental HERO Bladedge to fusion summon, Evil HERO Malicious Shadedge!"

The two counterpart HEROES rose up from graveyard and fused together to create Haou's newest E-HERO fusion. It looked like Malicious Edge but in Bladedge's golden armor which was now black with dark blue outlining with Malicious Edge's needle bands wrapped around it. The new monster also had three large claws on each hand and larger and sharper wings on its back (Atk: 3600 Def: 2800).

"And before you two dare say anything about Malicious Shadedge still being weaker than your Dark Guardian; I only have two words to say to you two, shut up. I play Gift of the Martyr! Now by sending my Infernal Gainer to the graveyard, his attack points are added to Shadedge." Haou sent the said monster to the graveyard and Malicious Shadedge gained 1600 Atk points (Atk: 3600-5200 Def: 2800).

"5200 Atk points?!" The Paradox Brother's gasped in shock.

"Sure Dark Guardian may survive the attack but like my brother said; your life points are a different story." Haou quoted his brother which Jaden smiled to. "Malicious Shadedge end this."

The demonic warrior nodded as he charged at the spider warrior and slashed it into pieces but before Dark Guardian could reform, the attack already took out the last of the Paradox Brother's life points.

(Jaden/Haou: 375 Paradox Brothers: 0)

"Way to go!" Chumley and Syrus both cheered for their victory.

"Well they won." Bastion smiled impressed. "I must say I'm getting more impressed every day."

"I'm just happy that Jaden gets to stay here." Kia said with a smile of her own which made Bastion look at her with an eyebrow raised.

"Don't you mean Jaden and Haou?" Bastion questioned.

"No, I just mean Jaden. I don't like Haou, he doesn't like me, and that's the only thing we can agree on. Now if you excuse me." Kia quickly got up from her seat and ran down to the field.

"Well personally, I'm happy that they are both staying. Jaden's my friend and Haou's nice to hang out with." Masika said with a smile as she glanced down at the darker of the twins.

"And that's all?" Alexis asked which caused to Masika's face to go red. Alexis smiled at this. "Yeah I thought so."

Chazz growled at what just happened. They won?! He got up at that. "I'm out of here." He said as he stormed out of the room with his followers' right behind him.

Elanor watched as the crowd was cheering for the Yuki twins' victory. "Huh, I guess they're not half bad after all. I have to duel both of them one day if I want to become the top freshman student here." She thought to herself, out loud.

"No, it can be," Crowler fell over onto his butt from shock. "How could they have won?"

"How? Because of your splendid teaching, uh course;" Banner said kneeing down next to Crowler with Pharaoh in his arms. "Oh wait, they're in my dorm." Pharaoh licked Crowler's face, causing the teacher to start freaking out.

"That fur ball just licked me! Does he have rabies?! Show me his papers! Call the pound!"

Jaden and Haou were both staring at Crowler for a few seconds before Jaden turned towards his brother and smiled. "Nice come back for the win, bro."

Haou glanced at his brother and Jaden flinched back when he noticed the annoyed glare that Haou was giving him. "Jaden, stop playing good cop and get to the point. You want to yell at me for allowing Shadow out then just get it over with."

Jaden blinked at that. "I wasn't going to…." He stated. At least not now anyway….He thought with a sigh before his smile reformed on his face. "Well at least things aren't going to change now, huh?"

"That is right, Jaden." Shepherd said from the sidelines. "You twos enrollment here at the Academy isn't going to change one bit. You're here to stay."

Jaden smiled widen at that. "Sweetness!" He exclaimed before he turned to the Paradox Brothers who were both on their knees in defeat and gave them his signature two finger salute. "That was a great match and it was an honor. If you ever want a rematch, just holler."

Haou facepalmed; "And Jaden caught rhyming disease."

Sheppard chuckled at that. "Well said, Jaden, and I'm sure it will be even better written out."

Jaden anime froze. "Say what now?"

"I would like a five page report about what you learned from dueling the brothers." Sheppard told him with a smile. "And how it helped you realize that trespassing in the Abandoned Dorm was wrong."

Jaden groaned. "Talk about a bummer."

"Okay how about ten pages then and single spaced too." Sheppard corrected himself before he started walking off.

"Jaden Yuki…." Haou growled at his brother and Jaden knew right away that his brother was going to kill him for this but since Jaden was already holding one against him for the whole Shadow Sorcerer thing he guessed they were even now.

"I'll make sure they get it done, Chancellor." Banner said and Pharaoh meowed to that.

Jaden groaned again as he dropped down to his knees and grabbed his head. "How can I write ten pages?! I never even read that much! And single spaced too?!"

Haou watched his brother as he had his little break down.

"You're brother's a wimp, Haou." Shadow Sorcerer chuckled in Haou's mind.

'I know he is but he's the only family I got left so I have to deal with him.' Haou replied. 'And I'm surprised that you're still breathing, let alone speaking.'

"Yeah well my sister and the others can't take me down that easy." Shadow Sorcerer spoke before he left.

"Ten whole pages! That's pretty much a book! My life is so over!" Jaden complained, still having his little breakdown. "I don't even know how to spell Paradox Brothers. And do all their parts have to rumor? This is going to take forever!"

"The Lord of Gentle Darkness everyone, his only true weakness is homework. Well at least you get to stay, Jay." Yubel chuckled before she disappeared to go take care of that little problem that Haou decided to let out.
