Hello back again with the fourth chapter. Wow, so many people reading this makes me so happy! Thank you so much everyone for your support~
Also I'm really sorry this took so long, I had internet problems, writer's block, family issues and I kept changing cards in Ren's deck. Plus this is the first time I've done a duel scene; hopefully I'll be better by the next one. Also I've upload a new story, it's for Gakuen Alice/Alice Academy, I don't know if any of you know about it but I don't think it's half bad actually. And I still haven't updated Stolen Heart because I am completely blank in my head at the moment and school isn't helping. In fact there are a lot of stories I've started that I would love to put up, none of them are one-shots though because I always have more to put to them.
Also so you all know, it's pretty obvious but I'll say it anyway, even in the Nobody's POV Serenity will be referred to as a girl. Why? Well the author can't get confused now can she? Also her real name will be used, it's just everyone else that will refer to her as a guy and use the name Ren Sekai.
Another thing I need to say is this, in my opinion Serenity isn't a Mary-Sue, I doubt any of my OCs are if you have a different opinion I wouldn't mind hearing it. With my idea of a Mary-Sue being that she can do ANYTHING and EVERYTHING, well Serenity can't do a lot of things. She can't figure everything out; she can't fight her way out of a paper bag, literally, and a lot of other things. Why I'm mentioning this is because I want other people's opinions on her as a character, I can't completely judge her because it would be a biased opinion because I made her. So please tell me what you think.
About the OCs I still want them and that will be open for quite a long time.
Last thing (sorry this is so long!) There will be more than one part of this, I'm actually going to be writing the parts at the same time that way by the time I finish 'It's Just a Little Secret' I'd have quite a few parts of the second, third, fourth and fifth, yes there are five parts/ two first season parts, done. Thanks for listening but of course I'll finish this first XD
Disclaimer: I do NOT own Yu-Gi-Oh GX or any of its characters or some of the cards. I only own the OCs, most of the dialogue and some made-up cards XD.
Ru-Ru: Man duel scenes take forever to write! My fingers hurt!
Serenity: Ano ….. What about "I'm back with Chapter 4!" Or something along those lines?
Ru-Ru: I can start this how I want to thank you! *crosses arms across chest*
Serenity: Yeah ….. *sweat drop*
: Well now that it's the fourth chapter it's time for your exam.
Ru-Ru and Serenity: Wait will you!
Serenity: Anyway you all get the disclaimer thing by now don't you? I hope so because I don't have the time to tell you all again at the moment. I got an exam to pass.
Ru-Ru: Or fail. *smirks*
Serenity: There wouldn't be a story if I don't pass!
Ru-Ru: There would be, just without you in it. I could choose another OC to be the lead.
Serenity: WHAT! Oh come on that's not fair, you finally use me and you already want to replace me!
Ru-Ru: Life isn't fair. Anyway please enjoy the fourth chapter!
Chapter 4 – The Physical Exam: Dr.Crowler VS. Ren
Nobody's POV
Serenity sat in her seat next to an old friend, Jaden Yuki. Fidgety as ever the scene replayed through her head as she half listened to a black haired professor with glasses and closed eyes talk about alchemy. 'How can he see if his eyes are closed?' Serenity thought as she tried to remember every card in her new deck. 'Oh I can't even remember half of my deck! How can I duel if I don't know half? I hate tests I really do!' Ready to slap her forehead she glanced around to distract herself. A small light aquamarine haired boy caught her eye; he wore small glasses on his nose, so small to the point that his large hazel eyes seemed to be alone, and a slifer uniform with a yellow under shirt. His hair stuck out to the sides very generously, he had so much hair you could compare him to a mop and hardly know the difference between the two. He sat next to Jaden and looked nervous, with a glance every so often in Serenity's direction, until their eyes met and he quickly returned to looking at the teacher. 'I remember him from when Jaden left for the boat a few days ago; oh he mentioned his name the day before too. What was it again?' Serenity thought with a struggle. 'Why wasn't I really paying any attention? Ugh! S.T. or was it C.T.? I only remember his initials, forget it I'll learn it son enough right?' She continued her eyes' silent tour of the classroom, well of what she could see that was.
Serenity's POV
Ring. 'No...' Ring. 'No.' RING. 'NO!' "Ummm, it's time for your duel." A boy's voice said from my side. I glanced up to see chocolate eyes staring at me with a playful glint clearly shining in them. Jaden. I knew those eyes anywhere. "I know it is." I grumbled sadly. "Then why don't you get up?" he asked with a playful poke to my shoulder. "Jaden aren't you coming?" a girlish boy said from the front of the desk, table, thing. "Well there isn't much reason to go if the other duelist isn't going." He replied, obviously meaning me. "Maybe he's nervous." The other boy shrugged. Nervous wasn't the right word to describe my feelings at the current moment, it was more of a sick to my stomach. "Oh by the way, not that it completely matters since it's only a 50/50 chance that I'll win and you two were probably already listening. I'm Ren Sekai." I said as I sat up and held my hat on my head. "I'm Syrus Truesdale." The short boy from earlier said. "And I'm Jaden. Jaden Yuki and I wanna see you take on Crowler!" Jaden exclaimed as he grabbed my arm and pulled me to my feet. Of course I was used to this kind of hyper active Jaden but I was already about to vomit from the thought of dueling . "Now come on, he might say that you're gonna surrender before you even duel if we wait to long!" He shouted as he started pulling me to the duel arena, I think. "Jaden wait up!" Truesdale-san cried as he ran after us. 'Okay, while I'm being dragged there against my will let's try and remember my deck.' I thought as I struggled to stay on my feet.
'I have a really bad feeling about this.' I thought helplessly as I gazed into the large mechanical duel arena. 'What's with all of the mechanical rooms?' Dr. Crowler stood at the other end of the arena; his duel disk was on his coat, guess that's the duel coat Jaden mentioned before. I leaned against the wall, my duel disk on my arm, inhaling and exhaling trying to settle my stomach. 'I have to go in now, but if I do I might throw up.' I winced at the thought held my breath for a moment then turned and headed inside the large room. 'Otou-san didn't get where he was by being sick or waiting for something to happen. I have to make it happen; my chance to prove myself is now!' I thought. On the field Crowler looked me up and down, his face noting my nervous expression. "Well you took your sweet time getting here." He grumbled angrily. His words made my blood boil, if I wasn't already in this much trouble I would have thrown my duel disk straight at his head. "Your physical exam begins now." He said firmly. I smiled happily. "Let's have a good duel, win or lose I want this first or last duel here to be an enjoyable one Sensei." He elevated his eyebrow before saying. "Yes…" 'Did my words startle him?' I thought puzzled. "Let's duel!" We both shouted, adrenaline racing through my veins with every word as we drew our starting hands.
Ren: 4000 LP
Crowler: 4000 LP
"I will start." Crowler said gruffly. "Draw." 'Yes, I actually have a good first hand … well sort of.' I thought as I paid attention to his turn. "Watch and learn." He said. He drew a card and looked at his hand for a moment. 'I'm starting to feel sick again. I'm too nervous…' I thought miserably as I scanned the audience to distract myself from my cramped stomach. "I will start by summoning Ancient Gear Soldier in Attack Position." He said as he placed in the Monster Card Zone of Duel Disk. "I will also Set two cards." Two holographic cards appeared face-down in his Spell and Trap Card Zone, along with his holographic 'soldier'. "I end my turn." He finally said.
"Okay then. My turn! Draw." I said as I looked at the cards in my hand. 'Okay I got Red Eyes B. Dragon, Mirage Dragon, Call of the Haunted, Draining Shield, Summoned Skull and Darkblaze Dragon in my first hand. I wonder…' I thought as I smiled. "I summon Mirage Dragon in Attack Position!" I said. My holographic Dragon appearing in front of me as I placed the card. 'Should I battle or not?' I thought skeptically. 'Well even if it's a mistake I'd learn from it right? Plus because of Mirage Dragon's effect he can't activate Trap Cards during Battle Phase.' "Battle. Mirage Dragon attack Ancient Gear Solider!" I exclaimed feeling adrenaline racing through my mind. Destroyed.
Ren: 4000 LP
Crowler: 3700 LP
"I set two cards face down and end my turn." I finished as the holograms came into view. "Not bad for an amateur. My turn. I draw." He said with a mocking tone. "Now I summon The Trojan Horse." 'But they'd cancel each other if he attacks with that; both of their attacks are 1600.' I thought with the sudden urge to vomit again. "Now I activate a Spell from my hand: Confiscation. By paying 1000 Life Points I get to take a look at your hand and send one card to the graveyard.
Ren: 4000 LP
Crowler: 2700 LP
"Now let's see, not bad. Not bad at all. I'll send Darkblaze Dragon to the Graveyard now." He said after he got a good look at the three, now two, cards left in my hand. 'Now Darkblaze Dragon's gone, I have to get something to kill that thing.' "I set one more card and end my turn." He finished. I sighed. "Then it's back to me I guess." I said enthusiastically annoyed. "Draw!" 'Okay I drew Decoy Dragon. Wait a minute…' I thought as my eyes widened. "Okay I summon Decoy Dragon in Attack Mode!" I exclaimed. He gave me a look as if I was crazy to put a monster with only 300 Attack Points in Attack Mode, but I knew what I was doing. "I end my turn." I said with a smile.
"You've made an amateur mistake that you will now pay for Sekai. It's my turn." He said, confusion still lingering in his voice. "Draw." He said before looking at his four card hand. "Now I activate Heavy Storm!" He said bitterly as a rapid wind came and destroyed the Magics and Traps from the field. That was when I notice the two cards he lied down earlier were two Statue of the Wicked Trap Cards. Soon two tokens appeared on the field in his Monster Card Zone. "Now I sacrifice my two tokens to bring out Ancient Gear Golem!" He exclaimed as the new tokens left the field for a giant machine to enter. '3000 Attack and 3000 Defense, I heard about this one, it's really rare but what was the effect again?' I thought in awe of the mechanical beast.
"Now I attack Decoy Dragon with The Trojan Horse!" he exclaimed with overwhelming confidence. "Not so fast I activate Decoy Dragon's effect! Since you selected it as your attack target I can Special Summon a Level Seven monster from my Graveyard and switch the attack to that monster! I choose the only Level Seven in my Grave, Darkblaze Dragon!" I exclaimed as the dragon took its place in one of my Monster Zone spaces, the attack from The Trojan Horse aimed right for my 1200 monster. "That would have worked if your monster's attack was higher than mine." He commented. After the attack took place and the smoke cleared 's Life Points decreased.
Ren: 4000 LP
Crowler: 1900 LP
"What happened?" He exclaimed furiously. "Wow Sensei you forgot another effect, guess you're not very familiar with Dragon-Types huh? You see when Darkblaze Dragon is Special Summoned from the Graveyard its Attack and Defense become twice its original Attack and Defense." I reminded him.
Ren: 4000 LP
Crowler: 300 LP
"Also when Darkblaze Dragon destroys a monster and sends it to the Graveyard the Attack of the destroyed monster gets taken out of your Life Points." I finished. "Impressive…" he muttered angrily. "I attack your Decoy Dragon with Ancient Gear Golem. Your card's effect can't save you now!" 'He's right there's no more Level Seven's in my Graveyard!' I thought angrily. Soon Decoy Dragon was no more and I was left with a hit of 2700, and me cursing at myself for being a little too foolish.
Ren: 1300 LP
Crowler: 300 LP
"I end my turn." He said with an obvious ego. "My turn! Draw!" I said feeling a little discouraged. 'I'm safe from Traps during the Battle Phase at least, but still with that Golem here I'm pretty toast…' I thought helplessly. I looked at my new card, Polymerization. 'Wait a minute…'I thought with new found hope. "Okay this is where it ends Sensei! I activate Polymerization from my and fuse Red Eyes B. Dragon and Summoned Skull from my hand to make B. Skull Dragon!" I exclaimed as the cards fused and an almost dead looking dragon appeared on my side of the field. 'Boney much?' I thought as I held back a giggle. "Battle! B. Skull Dragon attack Ancient Gear Golem!" I exclaimed as it's attacked prepped and fired. The Golem falling in pieces, Crowler freaking out, it all felt so good!
Ren: 1300 LP
Crowler: 100 LP
"Okay now I'll finish you off with Darkblaze Dragon!" I exclaimed as his Life Points were reduced to nothing.
Ren: 1300 LP
Crowler: 0 LP
"Well I'd say I passed what about you Sensei?" I beamed. 'I won… I really… I can't…' I thought still awestruck from the victory. The sound of cheering filled my ears from the audience; apparently my dueling skills weren't that bad. 's expression was a mix of anger, disgust and astonishment; I felt my own joy soar as I turned to look at everyone. Smiling was the only thing I could do, I was in, and I was actually a student of Duel Academy. I was so happy I was almost crying, shaking it off I looked back at Crowler and bowed. "Thank you Sensei. That duel was so exciting I didn't know what was going to happen for a while there. You truly are an amazing duelist!" I exclaimed happily. His anger seemed to grow, with a dark expression clouding his eyes. I didn't care though, I knew coming here would have consequences, I also knew that I wasn't ready for most of them, if any. But I was going to take whatever came my way, even if it meant my first enemy being a teacher, I would learn to hold my own. Definitely!
"Well that was an excellent duel Sekai-san. Welcome to Duel Academy." The Chancellor exclaimed as he approached. "Thank you Kaichou!" I said using all of my strength not to cry. I'll definitely make Otou-san and Aunt Sakura proud…
Nobody's POV
A girl with short sunshine blond hair watched with an angry expression, before walking off to the halls of the school. Serenity's smile beamed from the duel field as she looked around at all the people, many different people catching her eye, for instance a certain dark blue haired male… And thus Serenity's life at Duel Academy began with that.
Ru-Ru: So what did ya think? In my book it sucked! I could hardly do any details, it was so hard! But I won't give up! Also all the cards used in this chapter are REAL, I DON'T own them okay? Yeah it was also pretty short, only eight turns but I dueled him in my game with this same deck several times and picked the best duel out of all of them. Added some talking and thinking, a little detail here and there. And BAM! So this duel was a real experience duel for me XD
Serenity: Wow Ru-Ru chan you seem less stressed.
Ru-Ru: Yeah, cause the next duel isn't for a few chapters! Next chapter we introduce Destiny Timezone though. This should be fun~
Serenity: I'm so happy to actually be a student here! But you made Crowler so hard!
Jaden: The duel was still sweet!
Ru-Ru: When did he get here? Anyway what else was I supposed to do? Believe me this would be so gay if he was the easiest duelist on earth! I know that much!
Serenity:*Sad eyes* Fine! Anyway thanks for reading and I hope you all enjoyed!
Ru-Ru: the fifth chapter will take a bit though, you see I have started some of it but I have school and everything. Its hard being in Honors classes you know. So anyway please review. I'd like to see some new people, and thank you for the support KawaiiAnimeLuverGirl, ThreesandFives and OROgoldenpair1, it means so much to me!
Ru-Ru and Serenity: Until next time~
