We made it back to the abandoned dorm, Alexis nowhere in sight. However there was a yellow rose that was disturbed from its resting place. Alexis was abducted and taken to the abandoned dorm, crap I really hate my Luck right now.
"Maybe she saw a spider and ran home?" Syrus theorized, hoping it would lead him home faster. I'm not having that excuse until I know for certain.
I ran to the door tried to open the way inside, but it was locked from said inside. I tried to force it, but it rebounded my blows by nearly breaking my knuckle and/or ankle.
Jaden was also trying to find his way in, but ended up with cuts from the glass shards and thorns. Okay, force isn't working; maybe just calm down and think of a plan. There is one, but it requires cloth, ugghh.
I breathed in, Alexis you owe me big time if the uniform rips. I take off my slifer jersey revealing my more revealing undershirt, much to my displeasure. Least jaden and the two know my secret and won't try anything.
I cover the thorny overgrowth and the broken window with my slifer jersey. Me and Jaden easily climb inside while it took the other two a bit longer. Unfortunately my jersey got pierced like I was in a mass mugging.
I sigh as I felt a jersey hit my face. I knew it was from Jaden, no ill will as I remember; Idiot. I put I on as I saw Jaden's smile, much to my malcontent.
"I don't need yours, Jaden. I'm fine with an undershirt." I may sound ungrateful, but I appreciate the help.
Jaden scratched his head in a sheepish manner. "Well, I figure it's best to cover yourself up." That tone made me realized he really doesn't care if I'm ungrateful, still angry about this whole scenario that was caused by him.
"Well, let's fine Alexis then." I wanted to leave here as soon as possible due to possibilities. "Syrus, Chumley you look around this room and safe areas. Me and Jaden will inspect the more unstable ones." I also didn't want any of them to be hurt.
Jaden smiled coyly. "Well...I didn't know you wanted to follow me." Goddamn it Jaden!
...
So Jaden and I went through the more dangerous hallways, beams out of place and the drywall crumbling to pieces.
I then noticed something out of place on the drywall. "Jaden, does yellow mold come from drywall?" He looked at me confused as I chip away the drywall. I turned out to be an old tablet of seven...items. They look familiar to me, yet I can't put my finger on them.
Jaden looked ecstatic at the find. "Wow, those are the seven millennial items!" I feel like he's right, even if the name sounds stupid.
"Didn't yugi carry this one? The millennial puzzle?" How did I know that, on the tournament they never mentioned anything about theses items. I really need to know about that, though Alexis first, items later.
Jaden smiled. "Wow, really then what's this one?" Jaden quickly pointed at a scepter.
I blink for a moment. "The..rod?" What is wrong with me. "I think I'm wrong anyway, let's find-"
"Ahhhhh!"
That was Alexis, so she is in trouble! "Come on Jaden we have to-"
"Aghhhh!
"This is Not licious!"
That was Syrus and Chumley! No, please let them be okay, I don't want something bad on my psyche!
...
like two angry deities we bomb rushed to where are friends were screaming. It was a huge arena, circular with runes etched on the floor and four angry statues over head at each corner.
In the center was a knocked out Alexis, Chumley, Syrus, and a menacing cloaked figure. The figure were holding three orbs of different color, white, blue, and orange.
The figure noticed our angry presence. "Ohhh, the calvary rides in swift motion to save the allied forces!" That tone, he's mocking us. "Oh, but woe was they, as they fought against the eater of worlds...and?" He looked confused for another line. "Crap, really baking on that."
Jaden pointed at him. "Let our friends go!" He activated his duel disk as did I.
The figure shrugged. "Friends...huh?" He looked at our friends then back to us. "Well then, to save thier souls, impress me with your dueling and they may yet live." The cloaked figure's arm morphed into a duel disk. "I hope you're ready, dueling isn't about fun litttle games anymore."
Apparently he is confident he can take us both on, possibly even more so. "You won't get away with this!" Unlike with Jaden he stumbles back from my retort.
He looked at me with slight awe. "Wait...huh, funny. Didn't think you...nevermind wrong person." He got into a dueling stance. "I hope you're ready for the end of twilight!" He then maniacally laughed at his idea.
"Duel!"
?: 8000 life points
Jaden&Yoshi: 8000 life points
"My draw!" The figure announced. "I set two cards face down then summon silent magician level 4!" A bright light made us shield our eyes. When I died down we saw a child magician with white and blue robes.
Silent magican Lv4- 1000atk/1000def. Every time it's your standby phase place one spell counts on this card (Max:8) increase the attack points of this card by 500 for every spell counter on it.
"I end my turn, haha." He just chuckles at our movement. "I dueled your red friends at the same time, they lost at the secound turn! They are..how you say, dropouts!"
Jaden growled. "Don't you dare say that about my friends!" He drew and set one card face down. "I summon elemental hero sparkman in attack position!" An lesser bright light summoned the arrival of sparkman. "Attack with static shockwave!"
Sparkman fired a bolt of lightning at the magician. "Sorry." The figure smiled as if Jaden's move was child's play. "I activate my trap, absorbing shield! Not only does it nullify your attack, but it heals me by sparkman's attack points!" The magical castes a shield as the static rebounded to the figure energizing him. "Oh, that feels good!"
?: 9600 life points
Jaden groans at the display. "I end my turn." I pains me to see that his attack failed, but the cloaker had two cards facedown, idiot.
Elemental HERO sparkman- 1600atk/1400. An elemental hero and a warrior of light who proficiently wields many types of armaments. His static shockwave cuts off paths of treacherous villainy.
The man laughs at Jaden's display, it wasn't that bad you maniacal dirtbag! Great now I think like an 80's hero sitcom.
the ping singled silent magician's newest counter.
He drew his card. "I summon silent swordsman lv 3 then I play the spell card final countdown!" I am confused, why would he play a card like that when he has high attack points? "I know that look, yes it's a stupid move, unless ah plotwist! I activate my reverse trap!" Crap, did he plan this!? "It reverse all numeral effects, plus becomes minus and minus turns into a plus! My final countdown will now give me a boost of 4800!"
?: 14400 life points
"I set a card and end my turn." He wasted his hand, can't tell if he's cheating or not.
"Fine creep! My turn!" He reeled back again when I insulted him, was he afraid of me or something. "I play the spell card, card destruction! We all discard our hand and draw a number equal to the discarded cards. Shame you wasted your hand." Me and Jaden sent our cards to the grave.
My new hand was way more promising. "I activate my Envoy of the begining: Chaos soldier's ability! By banishing skilled white magician and Envoy of chaos, he's special summoned to my field!" Two of the four angry statues activated and shined a bright light.
The lights fired at our field and in the smoke was Chaos soldier. "Your not going to get away from us!" I would make certain of that. "I equip him with fairy meteor crush, which gives him the ability to deal pricing damage!" The solider now has an intense red aura. "Then I summon evening twilight knight in defense mode."
I have to hit it with everything I've got! "Now my Envoy attacks silent magician!" It's gotta work otherwise, we might lose.
The figure started laughing at my move, shit is he going to? "And here I thought you were the smartest here, Yoshi?" Wait how does he know my name!? "But, looks like I'm right in a sense, you attack when I have almost no cards on the field that could match your Envoy." Oh no, the trap card! "You're right by the look on your face, my trap card activates, mirror gate!" No, no, NO! "They say mirrors and eyes are the gateway to the soul, in this case your monster's soul is mine!" Silent magician and my Envoy swap places, now on his side I took the blunt of the damage.
Jaden&Yoshi: 7000
The explosion, it hurts? How can a hologram hurt me, its fake isn't it!? "I-I end my turn." Is there no way to beat him, not even my toughest monster could hurt him.
"My turn, first off silent swordsman levels up to five!" The swordman grew older and powerful, crap! "Next I play card of demise! I draw five cards and at the end of my fifth turn I discard five cards! Not that you can survive anyway." He gave us a cheeky smirk, I can feel it. "So, I'll summon dark blade and set a card. Now your Envoy will banish Jaden's sparkman!" Envoy's eyes turns red then sparkman vanishes. "Now then, silent swordsman attacks evening twilight knight! Silent kill!" The swordsman was suddenly behind my knight, then my knight was slowly cut in half.
He was laughing so hard. "Wow, haven't had this much fun!" He pointed to us. "Dark blade attacks!"
Dark blade slashes at me and it hurts a fuckton! It really felt like it was slashed open by two swords! "Aghhhh!" I couldn't help, but scream out from something so unbearable! I knelt down as I felt something tickle on my lips, I touch it and it was blood; my own blood.
"Yoshi!" Jaden yelled at me, I couldn't respond; my body won't let me. "You're going to pay for that!"
The figure laughs. "I like to see that you naive boy. Anyway I set a card face down and end my turn!"
Jaden&Yoshi: 5200
Silent swordsman level 5: 2300atk/1000def. unaffected by your opponet's spell cards. During your standby phase after you inflicted a direct attack with this card, send this card to the grave and special summon one Silent swordman level 7 from your hand or deck.
Jaden drew a card, now more angry that this figure somehow causes pain to duelists. "I set a card and play the same card you used, card of demise which lets me draw five cards!" He then showed us his infamous card, polymerization! "I play polymerization, which lets me fuse avian and burstiatrix to summon, elemental hero flame wingman!" I would be glad, except he still has my monster who can easily turn your wingman into a feather duster! "Now I use the field spell, skyscraper!" The building rises once again round us like the real dense city of New York.
Jaden looks confident he can win this. "I now play the spells E-emergency hero and fusion recovery! The first let's me bring bubble man to my field from my deck!" The bubble hero poses dramatically next to wingman. "The secound allows me to bring one monster and polymerization from my grave!" He choose burstinatrix. "Now I'll play it again, I fuse burstinitrix, bubbleman, and clayman to form elemental hero core!"
The other two statues glow brightly sending a rumble around the field. The new elemental hero was metallic, but yet felt like it had a soul and heart; amazing.
Elemental hero core: 2700atk/2200def. Must be fusioned summoned, once per turn when this card is targeted you can double the attack points until the end of the damage step. If this card battled at the end of the battle phase, target one monster and banish it. If this card was destroyed by battle or card effect, summon one level 8 or below elemental hero fusion, ignoring the summoning conditions.
Jaden looked real focused, I never seen him like this nor do I care. "Next I use the continuous spell card, mirage of nightmares. Then my elemental hero core attacks your silent swordsman." Surprisingly the figure did nothing when the metallic hero destroys the swordsman with a punch as bright as a supernova.
?: 14000
"Now flame wingman attack your dark blade, sky dive scorcher!" Wingman unleashes hell onto the swordsman, I fell avenged for once. "Now you take damage equal to you monsters attack!" The figure took the blast like it was nothing.
?: 11900
"Core's ability activates, since I will end the battle phase. I get to banish the monster you stole!" My Envoy vanishes from the field. "I end my turn!"
since it was the figures turn, Jaden drew four cards.
The figure stared laughing. "Well, shame my face down might disagree with you, go time machine! This lets me bring back a monster from the turn before. So my silent swordsman comes back." The machine rises and out came the swordman, who did not like to be punched from core.
"Now then I play the spell card lightning vortex! By discarding one card your monsters are destroyed!" The lightning swirl destoryed every monster. "Next I-"
"Hold up!" Jaden interrupts. "Thanks to core's ability my flame wingman comes back to my field!"
The figure seams ticked. "Like fleas you come back to bite me..." he seems to be grumbling about something. "Anyway, my last card will end you, my own field spell! Temple of the forgotten!" The towers turned to sand as a single temple rises from said sand. "I doubt you want to attack." He seams to chuckle about something. "I attack your wingman now Jaden!"
wingman was no match for the swordsman as he too was cut in half. "It's over, you will see." He chuckled slightly at our dilemma.
Jaden&yoshi: 5000
I drew a card even though it's the only monster in my hand, I can still make a comeback! "I activate arisen Gaia the force knights ability, since you have more monsters then me I can summon him without tribute!" The horseman materializes, awaiting my orders. "I set a card and play the equip spell lighting blade, raising his attack by 800. That means he has just over 3000 attack points!" I tensed up for the first time in my life, what if he had another trap that would end us in a snap. I don't know what to do, my Gaia is the only monster I have left and I doubt my next draw would be a monster. "I-I-I...end my turn." I folded, I just didn't want to risk it.
The figure smiled. "My turn! I activate my face down card, conscription! So Yoshi, draw a card and if it's a monster it gets to be summon on my field!" My drew, I was wrong it was a monster. I turned it over to show the figure. "Well then, your beginning knight is now on my field!" The card disappeared from my hand and into his field.
He still gave that presence. "Now then, I summon the headless knight! But, he and the others aren't staying for long! I activate my field spells ability! Since there is three monsters on my field, I get to special summon one or more monster, regardless of it's conditions from my deck equal to half of my monsters total or less. And I count 13 so it gets rounded up to 7!" He laughs further. "So then I special summon relinquish and dark magician girl!" No, no, no he has that card! Said monster bursted out of the temples entrance with the female magician.
"Now I activate realiqushes ability, I get to steal your Gaia and merge it with relinquish!" Relinquish grabbed Gaia and absorbed him into itself. "Now then, you're all defenseless so...attack her and Jaden my monsters!" Facing the brunt force of both attack was too much to bare, I nearly collapse until I felt, realived from some of the pain. "Clever, Jaden using emerging provision with the mirage of nightmare to gain enough to save your lives."
Jaden&yoshi: 900 life points
I couldn't move, there was just to stress on my body. "My turn!" I heard Jaden yell through out all the pain we suffered. He is more durable more durable then I thought, well when did I know anything about him.
I close my eyes one minute, the next I saw it was the figures turn with one less dark magician and life points. I saw the shining flare wingman, don't know how he did it, but it's damn impressive.
?: 8900 life points
Heh, it's not going to be enough, all that bastard need is one card. For some reason I knew that we weren't going to win, I would want to get stronger; but I doubt the dead can play card games.
The very next moment I saw relinquish in a new form. it was golden and more powerful and since it's original form was destroyed he can absorb the wingman. It did that and we lost in a painful manner as I felt the wingman's flames wash over me as I passed out.
Jaden&Yoshi: 0 life points
? Wins!
...
I felt the warm feeling of a nice blanket, wrapping me like a snake. It felt nice, makes me want to drift to sleep more. I open my eyes and I was in the nurses office. I try to sit up, which I do halfway before my body gave me the most unbearable pain. Needless to say I scream like my leg was being torn off.
The nurse came in looking worried. "My goodness you're awake, I thought you would still in a coma." I gave her a look that said. 'How long was I out, tell me now!' She smiles awkwardly at my face. "Don't give me that look, you were only out for two days."
Two days! Damn, wonder if the others missed that much. "W-What happened?" My throat was scratchy and rough sounding like a broken record player.
She smiles more awkwardly. "Sorry miss, you were at the abandoned dorm with other students. We knew since you weren't at cerfew and several teacher blew a fuse." Wait, oh right nurse, of course she knew my facade. "You took the worst injuries, looks like something had a grudge on you." She lightly taps my head. "Thankfully, they were not fatal with no lasting injuries; besides the coma."
I try to sit up again. "Hey what did I tell you, you took serious damage. While I said you don't have any long lasting injuries, I meant if you had plenty of rest." She really had a hard tone with me. "I don't think you're friends wouldn't want anything more to happen to you."
Friends? Oh crap, Jaden and the others! I try to move more, until she restrained me. "You really are a stubborn tomboy. Relax they're fine, don't worry." I relax as she said, she wouldn't lie would she; speaking of which.
"Does anyone else know?" Though my voice is scratchy, it was loud and clear.
She shook her head. "No, I would need your permission to say such a thing." I said in bliss for the first time this week. "Though I don't need to tell your slifer friends, seams they already know." She scratches her head in slight confusion. "One question, why did you hide it, your gender?"
So I told her my reason, why I didn't want a bias judgement because of the only girls dorm. It seams she understood my reason for hiding, guess my secret is becoming not so secret.
I wonder jaden reacts to me waking up, probably going to be his clueless self again; idiot.
...
Jaden watches the sea from behind the red dorm, his gaze not inching away from the sea. His friends were worried, his rival Chazz, Alexis, heck maybe even Crowler. He wasn't really in a dueling mood after what happened at the dorm, when he woke up he though he lost everybody. So he was scared to duel against people or monsters like that, the nurse even thought he has ptsd though he showed no signs of the disorder.
So when I showed up he flipped his attitude for a time. He was happy that no one had truly lost everything at the dorm. Maybe I am too, guess he is more of a mushy idiot now, ha ha. Still love it here, even if the stakes are higher and scarier.
Silver lining, at least no one died and I still get to duel until I graduate. I wonder if Jaden still feels down though, even though nothing terrible happened; it could of ended drastically
(A/N: I'm baaaack! You have no idea how long I've been gone. I visited my dad and spent the week spending time with him. Sooo...I've manage to complete this chapter, hope you've enjoyed it.)
