Chapter 47: Making the Grade Pt. 2
"You go bye-bye!" Chazz yelled as his Chthonian Soldier attacked a 13 years old Slifer girl directly and her Life Points went down to zero.
The girl falls to her knees as she had lost an ante duel that Chazz and his cronies forced her into, "I'm sorry, big brother, I've failed you." She murmured
Chazz walked over to the girl and took a Wingweaver monster from the duel disk and smirked, "Ah a worthy trophy for a rotten day complements to that Slifer Slacker, Jaden."
To his surprise, the girl latched herself to his arm and Chazz glared at her, "Hey, let me go, you Slifer Slacker!" he seethed, shaking her off.
"No don't take my Wingweaver, please!" she pleads, beginning to tear up.
Chazz managed to throw her off his arm and she fell back to the ground and he smirked, "We played by the Ante rule and you lost, slacker, so it's mine now," he sneered.
"Please, my brother gave me that card and it's the only thing to help me remember him by! I'll let you have any other card from my deck, just please don't take that one." She pleaded further.
Seeing this, Chazz's smirk didn't falter, "Well if that's the case I'll gladly take this one then, besides it's wasted on you, anyway, see ya!"
As he and his two cronies walked away, they found Yusuke behind him with his arms crossed with a stern look on his face, "Why are you leaving so soon, Chazz?" he asked.
Chazz grunts, "Get out of our way, slacker!" he sneered, "Before you're next!"
Yusuke eyed at the girl, who was sobbing and looked at Chazz with disgust, knowing that he had something to do with this, "So, just because you lost to a Slifer, gives you the right to bully other Slifers to make you satisfied!" he barked, "You are a complete asshole, Princeton!"
Chazz growled in anger, "Get. Out. Of. Our. Way!" he seethed.
"You heard'em, Slifer Slacker," the blunette lackey sneered, "Your fellow slacker lost to an ante duel and she got want she deserved!"
Yusuke narrowed his eyes, "How about if I duel you with an ante, Chazz?" he offered
Chazz raised an eyebrow at Yusuke, "What you want to duel me!?!" he laughed, "Did you hear that guys, the Slifer Slacker wants to duel me!"
His lackeys laughed as soon as Chazz finished with his statement.
"Why not? I could spare a few minutes and it would be a good warm up for my field test." Yusuke said, with a smirk, which got Chazz and his lackeys to stop laughing.
"You really are serious, after all," Spencer gasped
Yusuke activates his Duel Disk, "I already know that I'll win at the end of my turn." He said.
"You, a Slifer Slacker, win against Chazz Princeton, in one turn!" Chazz goaded and laughed, "What are you, physic?" Chazz activates his, "Duel!" (CLP: 8000/YLP: 8000)
"Ore no time, draw!" Chazz drew his sixth card and looked it over with the cards in his hand. He knew how to school this slacker so hard that he'll never duel again and hopefully that he wouldn't blab the duel to his sister, which would be a bad thing, "Hey Yusuke, if this duel is completely secret and you can't tell anyone about it, including your older sister!" he said.
"Whatever, just duel!" Yusuke barked
"Gladly, I'll activate the Spell Card, Different Dimension Hanger!" Chazz declared, as a black rift swirl appears above his head, "Now I can remove from play 3 four-star union monsters from my Deck."
Yumi appeared by Yusuke, "Yusuke, Chazz is gonna summon that V-to-Z Dragon Catapult Cannon in this first turn." She warned
'Great.' Yusuke thought sarcastically, 'How am I going to take on that?'
"You'll see at the first draw." Yumi said, with a smirk and wink.
"I'll summon V-Tiger Jet in attack mode!" Chazz slapped the card onto the disk and the tiger shaped jet appears in front of him (ATK: 1700), "Since V-Tiger Jet fulfills the requirements of W-Wing Catapult; I can instantly summon him to the field!"
Next to V-Tiger Jet, came W-Wing Catapult (ATK: 1300), "Now I'll combine them together to create VW-Tiger Catapult!" The two machines combined themselves (ATK: 2000), "Next, I'll activate another Spell Card, Trap Booster; this allows me to activate one Trap Card from my hand by discarding a card from my hand." Chazz sends a card from his hand, "Now, I'll activate Call of the Haunted to summon X-Head Cannon!"
The yellow and blue robotic monster appears on the field (ATK: 1800), "And thanks again to Different Dimension Hanger, I get to summon back Y-Dragon Head and Z-Metal Tank to the field!"
The red robotic dragon (ATK: 1500) and the yellow tank (ATK: 1500) appears on the field. "I'll combine my monsters to create XYZ-Dragon Cannon!"
The three monsters combined themselves to a powerful monster (ATK: 2800), "Now I'll combined both of my monsters to the ultimate V-to-Z Dragon Catapult Cannon, there's no hope for you now!" Chazz laughs manically as his two monsters combined once again to the most powerful monster (ATK: 3000), "I'll end with a face-down!" Chazz chuckles, "With this monster out, Yusuke, you won't be so lucky!"
"Lucky, huh!? Let's find out! Ore no time, draw!" Yusuke drew his card and eyed it. His mouth opened with a smile, 'Yumi, if you weren't a spirit, I'd hug and kiss ya!' He looked at the field with a smirk, "That face-down wouldn't be by any chance Trap Hole, would it, Chazzy!"
Chazz gasped, in surprise, "Ho…how did you know?!" he gawked.
"Did you think I'd fall into your little trap, Chazzy?" Yusuke teased, "Maybe, you were thinking that, 'as soon as that Slifer Slacker summons a monster, my Trap Hole will destroy it' and I'll stupidly fall for it."
Chazz growled, 'Damn it, how did he know that I was thinking that?' he thought, 'He couldn't have read my mind, can he?' Chazz started shaking in fear, 'If he did have the power to read minds then that will be how he defeated that proctor, in two turns during his exam test.'
"Too bad it's not gonna work, because I activate Mystical Space Typhoon to destroy it," Yusuke said, as a small tornado appears and shreds Chazz's face-down, "I'll summon D.D. Warrior Lady in attack mode!"
A blonde lady in black warrior clothes, with a sword appears on the field (ATK: 1500)
"Why ya bring her out, Yusuke?" Chazz asked, "She's totally weaker than my Dragon Catapult Cannon!"
"That's why I'm activating this Spell Card, Energy Drain!" Yusuke slid the card into the slot.
"So, what does it do?" Chazz asked
"What it does is, at the cost of the five card from the top of my Deck," Yusuke sends the cards to the Graveyard from his Deck, "I can drain all of your monsters strength and give it to my warrior!"
Chazz gasped, "Still think it's luck," Yusuke sneered, as his Dragon Catapult Cannon (ATK: 3000) – (ATK: 0000) was getting rusted up and Yusuke's Warrior Lady glows blue and her strength skyrocketed (ATK: 1500) – (ATK: 4500) "I'll take your silence as a 'no'. Now Warrior Lady, attack that scrap heap!" Yusuke declared as his warrior lunged at the huge mechanical monster and jumped high to his head and slashed all the way down and destroys it.
Chazz blocks the impact of his destroyed monster and screams (CLP: 8000) – (CLP: 3500), "I'm not done, yet, next I'll activate Mischief of the Time Goddess!"
"Oh crap!" Chazz gawked, knowing the effects.
"I take it by the shock look on your face that you know what happens next," Yusuke said. "You turn is skipped, while my turn continues and since you have no monsters out, you can tell what would happen."
"That would mean that Chazz's is gonna lose!" the blunette gawked
"See didn't I tell ya that I'd win at the end of my turn? D.D. Warrior Lady, take Chazz out with a bang!" Yusuke commanded
With a battle grunt, D.D. Warrior charges towards Chazz, who was screaming in agony as he's slashed his stomach, taking his Life Points to zero. Chazz falls to his knees in humiliation, beaten by another Slifer Slacker in the same day, in one turn. Chazz Princeton, an Obelisk Blue Elite, beaten by a Slifer Slacker in just one turn. His pride was shot down, real hard.
Chazz looked up to see Yusuke towering over him, "Now I do believe that you owe me a card." He goaded
Chazz growled, in anger, "Damn you to hell!" he sneered getting out his Deck and Yusuke took it and searched through it and looked at the girl, who was looking at Yusuke with disbelief, "Hey kid, what was the card that these guys took away from you?" he asked
The girl blinked her blue eyes twice, "My Wingweaver card, of course."
Yusuke merely smiled, "Thank you!" he turned his glare to Chazz and held out his hand, "It's not in the Deck, Chazz. Hand it over, otherwise my older sister would get wind of this and you'll have to sleep with one eye open every night!"
"Hey, we had a deal, slacker!" Chazz barked, "You wouldn't tell your sister about the duel!"
"Correction, I said that I'd never say about our duel, but I never promised you that I'd never tell her about the duel you had with a Slifer and you know how she's like, believe me you don't want to get her majorly pissed! Hand it over!"
Chazz snarled, realizing that he had no choice. He gave Yusuke the Wingweaver, "Here!"
Yusuke took the card from Chazz, "Thank you, Chazzy!" he walked towards the blonde girl. Yusuke held out his hand to pull the girl to her feet, "Here you go, kid."
The girl took the card from Yusuke, "Thank you," she said, with a smile. The girl was almost as tall as Yusuke's chest. She had an adorable facial expression and shoulder length blonde hair and blue eyes, which were the same shaped as Syrus's eyes, wearing blue short sleeved shirt underneath Slifer Red blazer and blue jeans. "Oh and my name isn't 'kid' it's Kelly Storm."
Yusuke rubbed his head, with embarrassment and with a sheepish smile, "Sorry about that, ki…I mean, Kelly, the name's Yusuke Urameshi."
Kelly is shocked with surprise and fear, "W…you mean that you're Yusuke Urameshi, the Yusuke Urameshi as in the 'Great Urameshi' the infamous street thug from Sarayashiki Junior High!" she squealed pointing at Yusuke
Yusuke knew that he'll be remembered as the Great Urameshi in this school as well, by a few people, "Yeah, I'm the one, but I left that title, when I won my entrance duel to this school."
"I can't believe that you actually help me with those bullies." Kelly said, referring to Chazz and his cronies.
"Hey give me a break, kid, I do have my limitations, ya know!" Yusuke snapped
"Yusuke, there you are!"
They turned to see Jaden, Ryoko, Kari and Syrus running towards them, "Hey guys, what's up?" Yusuke asked, as Kelly ran behind him, to his surprise.
"Your exam test is in five minutes that's what!?!" Kari snapped and noticed Kelly behind her brother, "Hey Yusuke, who's she?"
Kelly walked from Yusuke's back, slowly, "Hey, you've seen you around the Slifer dorms!" Jaden said, pointing at Kelly.
Kelly looked at Jaden, "Yeah and you're that guy, who defeated Dr. Crowler's Ancient Gear Golem at the entrance exams."
"Yeah, the names Jaden Yuki," Jaden said, pressing his thumb onto his chest
"My name's Syrus Truesdale."
"I'm Ryoko Lyon."
"Hikari Urameshi, but friends just call me 'Kari'." Kari said, "Nice to meet you, Kelly."
"Same here," Kelly said, "And judging about that uniform, you must be an Obelisk Blue."
"Sorry about that, she had a little run in with Chazz Princeton and his lackeys." Yusuke said.
"What did he do this time?" Kari asked, with annoyance
"Forced me into an ante duel and he won." Kelly said.
"An ante duel, but that's illegal is this school," Ryoko said, "Didn't he tell you?"
"No." Kelly said, "But that's okay, because Ura…I mean Yusuke won my Wingweaver card from that bully."
"Wait, so you won a duel against an Obelisk?" Ryoko inquired, pointing at Yusuke.
Yusuke was about to speak, "Yeah, in just one turn." Kelly said.
"One turn!" the others said in unison
"Yeah, now let's get to my exam test, before I'm late!" Yusuke started running towards the school, while the others followed. Kelly wonders if she should follow and reached her decision and followed them.
Still on his knees, Chazz started to have a real burning hatred for the two people, who made him a laughing stock: Yusuke Urameshi and Jaden Yuki
Yusuke and his friends went to the field site, where the exam duels took place and Yusuke spotted his opponent, which was his little sister, Kira.
Yusuke and Kira's Duel Disks were activated as they were preparing to duel each other (YLP: 8000/KLP: 8000)
"Ore no time, draw!" Kira draws her sixth card from the top of her Deck and eyed it, "I summon Sabersaurus in attack mode!"
The pink triceratops appears in front of Kira and roared as it waved its sharp tail (ATK: 1900), "That will end my turn!"
"Ore no time, draw!" Yusuke drew his card and looked at his hand. "Now by sacrificing Masked Dragon and Luster Dragon #2 from my hand, I can activate the Ritual Spell Card, Black Luster Ritual!"
Just then, a shield with two swords appears and was surrounded by two large cauldrons appeared and raised fire up from them as they had two dragons sent into one each, "Now I can summon Black Luster Soldier in attack mode!" In a flash of red light, jumps out a warrior with red hair tied to a ponytail and in a gold rimmed black armor, with a metal mask covering his eyes and lands in front of Yusuke. The warrior swings his jagged sword around wildly and has his black and gold rimmed shield ready (ATK: 3000).
Everyone gasped at the monster that Yusuke was able to summon with 3000 attack points on the first turn, "Next, I'll activate Premature Burial to raise my Luster Dragon #2 from the Graveyard at the cost of 800 of my Life Points (YLP: 8000) – (YLP: 7200) of course."
In a flash of green light, a huge emerald covered dragon appears beside Black Luster Soldier and gives out a roar (ATK: 2400), "Next, I'll summon Luster Dragon in attack mode!" Another emerald covered, but smaller, dragon appears beside its bigger counterpart (ATK: 1900).
Kira flinched and took a step back, "Three monsters!"
"Now watch them action, Luster Dragon #2 attack Sabersaurus with Emerald Flame Attack!"
Luster Dragon #2 unleashes its green blast at Sabersaurus and the pink dinosaur gave a roar before it was destroyed. Kira (KLP: 8000) – (KLP: 7500) was left with no monsters out on the field. "Now my monsters attack Kira directly!"
Yusuke's monsters unleashed their attacks at Kira and the youngest of the Urameshi triples braced herself for the attack as she was slashed by Black Luster Soldier's sword and Luster Dragon's Breath of Fire attack. She was pushed back and lost a lot of Life Points (KLP: 7500) – (KLP: 2600).
"Yusuke just took the lead in the duel." Kelly commented
"I don't think that Kira would just give without a fight," Kagome said.
"Ore no time, draw!" Kira said, drawing a card from her Deck and surveyed her options, "I summon Hydrogeddon in attack mode!"
A triceratops made up in hydrogen masses appeared in front of Kira (ATK: 1600), "It may seem weaker than your dragons, but when I equipped it with Megamorph its power is doubled!"
Yusuke gasped horribly as the hydrogen covered dinosaur roared as it becomes more powerful (ATK: 1600) – (ATK: 3200), "Now Hydrogeddon, attack Black Luster Soldier with Hydro Gush, destroy him!"
Hydrogeddon unleashes its hydrogen blast at Black Luster Soldier. The soldier tried to withstand the attack, but Hydrogeddon's power was so great.
"No! My soldier!" Yusuke (YLP: 7200) – (YLP: 7000) cried
"And the special ability of my Hydrogeddon activates. Whenever it destroys a monster in battle, I can summon another Hydrogeddon from my Deck, so rise, Hydrogeddon!"
The triceratops appeared besides Hydrogeddon and gives out a roar (ATK: 1600). "That ends my turn."
"Ore no time, draw!" Yusuke said, as he drew a card and looked at it. "I summon Masked Dragon in defense mode and switch both of my monsters into defense as well!"
As the red and silver appeared on the field (DEF: 1100), both Luster Dragon (DEF: 1600) and Luster Dragon #2 (DEF: 1400) covered themselves with their wings, "That ends my turn!"
"Ore no time, draw!" Kira drew a card from her Deck and smiled. "I'll sacrifice my weak Hydrogeddon to summon Dark Driceratops in attack mode!"
Hydrogeddon disappears in a whirl of hydrogen and in its place was a bulky green mutated dinosaur (ATK: 2400), "The good thing about this dino is that even though your monsters are in defense mode, you still lose Life Points equal to the difference between the strengths." Kira said.
Yusuke knew that this wouldn't be a good thing to happen, "Now Hydrogeddon, attack Luster Dragon #2 with Hydro Gust!"
The dinosaur unleashes its attack at the emerald dragon and destroyed it, "Now I get to summon another Hydrogeddon from my Deck!" Hydrogeddon appears besides Dark Driceratops (ATK: 1600), "Go Hydrogeddon! Attack Luster Dragon, Hydro Gust!"
Hydrogeddon sends its attack towards Luster Dragon and destroyed it, "Now Dark Driceratops, attack Masked Dragon with Flying Phantom Nosedive!"
The dino roared as it took flight towards the dragon and rams onto it, destroying it and tackles Yusuke from behind. The ex-spirit detective gets on his knees as the dino returns to Kira's side (YLP: 7000) – (YLP: 5700). Yusuke gets onto his feet, "You've triggered my Masked Dragon's effect, now I can summon a Dragon-Type monster from my Deck and I've got just the one, rise Armed Dragon LV3!"
The small orange dragon appears in front of Yusuke (ATK: 1200).
"Ore no time, draw!" Yusuke draws a card from his Deck and knew what to do next, "I'll send my Armed Dragon LV3 to summon Armed Dragon LV5!"
In a shine of light, the small dragon grew into a huge red and black dragon with spikes and drills (ATK: 2400), "Now Armed Dragon attack the 1600 attack point Hydrogeddon with Infernal Assault!"
The dragon went to Hydrogeddon and punched it, destroying it and leaving a dent in Kira's Life Points (KLP: 2600) – (KLP: 1800), "Now I'm gonna activate my Armed Dragon's effect to evolve him to Armed Dragon LV7!"
The dragon glowed and grew into a huge and dangerous looking dragon (ATK: 2800).
"What is that?" Kelly asked
"It's Armed Dragon LV7!" Syrus said.
"Now Yusuke can destroy all of Kira's monsters with equal or less attack points than the Monster Card he sacrifices," Bastion said.
"But it's weaker than the 3200 attack point Hydrogeddon." Ryoko said.
"True, but I don't think that Yusuke's worried about it," Catherine said.
"Ore no time, draw!" Kira said, drawing a card, "Hydrogeddon attack Armed Dragon LV7 with Hydro Gust!"
Hydrogeddon blasts a stream of hydrogen at Armed Dragon and destroys it. Yusuke (YLP: 5700) – (YLP: 5300) looked that he wasn't interested, "Dark Driceratops and Hydrogeddon attack!"
The dinosaurs launched their attacks at Yusuke and knocked him off his feet (YLP: 5700) – (YLP: 1700). Yusuke gets onto his feet with a grin on his face, "You over looked something, Kira," he said, "Megamorph can only double your monster's attack strength as long as your Life Points are lower than mine are."
"That's right," Bastion said, "And since Kira has the most Life Points, her monster's original attack strength of cut in half."
True to Bastion's words, Hydrogeddon roars as it gets weaker (ATK: 3200) – (ATK: 0800), "I knew that and that's why I'm activating this Spell Card, Heavy Storm to destroy it!"
A mighty wind storm was produced and destroyed Kira's Spell Card and made Hydrogeddon stronger (ATK: 800) – (ATK: 1600), "That ends my turn."
"Ore no time, draw!" Yusuke draws his card and eyed it, "I activate Pot of Greed!"
The green jar appeared in front of Yusuke, "Now I draw two cards from my Deck," he drew two cards and the jar was shattered, "Now I activate Card of Sanctity, now we both draw until we're holding six cards in our hands!"
The Urameshi twins drew until they were holding six cards, "Now I activate Level Modulation, now you get to draw two cards." Kira drew two cards, "And I get to summon from the Graveyard, Armed Dragon LV7!"
In an explosion, Armed Dragon LV7 rose from the ground (ATK: 2800), "Armed Dragon LV7 is back from the dead!" Syrus said.
"That's true, but Armed Dragon LV7 was summoned with Level Modulation, Urameshi can't attack nor activate its ability to destroy every monster on the field, with equal or less attack points than the Monster Card he tossed to the Graveyard." Ryoko explained
"Since, I've summoned this dragon with Level Modulation, I can't attack with it or activate its special ability, but this is only a sacrifice for a bigger and ultimate dragon of the Armed Dragon series."
"What! You mean that there's a level that surpasses the Armed Dragon LV7!" Kira gawked
"That's right, so now I'll sacrifice Armed Dragon LV7 to summon Armed Dragon LV10!" Armed Dragon LV7 explodes and came an even huger and dangerous dragon than Armed Dragon LV7 (ATK: 3000).
"No way, what's that!?!" Syrus gawked
"Whatever it is, it sure is huge!" Jaden said.
"It can't be…" Bastion said.
"But it is." Kari said.
"What's going on?" Ryoko asked, "And what's that dragon that's on Urameshi's field?"
"That's Armed Dragon LV10." Bastion said, "It the dragon that outshines the Armed Dragon LV7's power."
"And it's extremely rare." Kagome said.
"Surpasses Armed Dragon LV7!" Jaden, Kelly, Ryoko and Syrus gawked in unison
"Yeah and even my grandfather didn't have that card in his card shop," Kari grimaced, "I wonder where did Yusuke get that card."
"Now time to activate my dragon's special ability, by discarding a card from my hand, I get to destroy all of your face-up monsters on the field." Yusuke explained
"That's not good!" Kira said.
As soon as Yusuke sends a card from his hand, Armed Dragon's mouth opened and sonic waves came out and destroy all of Kira's dinosaurs.
"No way!" Ryoko gawked.
"All of Kira's monsters are gone!" Jaden said.
"Now Armed Dragon LV10, attack Kira directly with Static Orb Thrust!" Yusuke commanded.
Armed Dragon's fist glowed bright white and punched Kira. The youngest of the Urameshi twins screamed as her Life Points went down (KLP: 1800) – (KLP: 0000)
The images disappeared from the field, as the duel ended.
"Yusuke won, guys!" Syrus said.
"With the help of that dragon of course." Ryoko added.
-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-
"They're truly amazing, aren't they, Crowler," Chancellor Shepherd commented, referring to Yusuke and Kira.
"Yes and I've just graded their western tests and both of the Urameshi twins excelled it, along with Kagome Higurashi and Catherine Maxwell." Dr. Crowler said.
"I guess that you were right about those twins, after all, Crowler." Chancellor Shepherd said, "I also agree that they should be put with the Obelisk students as for Jaden Yuki to be promoted to Ra Yellow."
"WHAT!" Dr. Crowler yelled in anger, "That Slifer Slacker clown!"
"Yes, after all he did defeat one of the Obelisk Blue students in a duel."
Dr. Crowler groaned, 'That Slifer Slacker has made a mockery of me, for the last time. I'll see that he's taken down hard!' he thought
