Because I want this story to move on from where it starts, I will keep some of the fillers and throw a few away. This is because I want the story to move forward, there are some fillers I think will fit okay with this kind of Yu-Gi-Oh story, and there are a few of the fillers I didn't like. You're going to notice the fillers I will be adding in and most of them will be different than from the original Yu-Gi-Oh GX story.
Alright, just so I don't steal any ideas from anyone, the running part was an idea I got from Wonderings of a Nonbrony (no, I'm not a MLP fan, though I do enjoy that fan fiction) and Gotta Kick it up. I mostly got it from Gotta Kick it up, so... yeah. Review please!
Alexis, Carl, Ronda, Zane, Syrus and Bastion appeared at the edge of the island beside the Slifer Red Dorm. Syrus and Bastion were brought along, since Bastion found out about the Abandoned Dorm incident through Alexis, after following her to the Nurse's Office and got filled in, and Zane told Syrus what happened. Syrus was shocked that Jaylin would sneak into the Abandoned Dorm like that, but even more amazed that she was able to survive a Shadow Game and was an expert on how to survive one. Bastion was very horrified about the incident, but wanted to protect Alexis, since she would be trained to survive Shadow Games and wanted to participate.
It technically took three days for Jaylin to recover from her wounds, but her friends still insisted on her waiting at least passed a week before she began teaching everyone how to survive a Shadow Game. Jaylin was now finally able to teach everyone, after over a week, being that the dressing was finally off of her. She didn't think she really HAD to wait over a week, but was fine with the wait.
"Okay, first thing's first. You're going to have to increase your muscle mass before we start getting to the good stuff. It's just like playing in a sports team, you need to have the right body structure, and work to get to that structure. Surviving a Shadow Game is no different," Jaylin instructed, piercing her lips, while getting out a little pedometer. "Yesterday, I ran around the island."
"Wait, you ran around the island!?" Syrus asked with bulging eyes. "But isn't it-"
"At least 50 kilometers around... well, 52.38 something something, but that's beside the point. I need you guys to run around the island. You're allowed to take a bottle of water with you and you can rest or take a break. I can move you to the next level, once you can run around this island without taking a break," Jaylin instructed.
"You're seriously turning this into gym class?" Carl complained.
"Even coach Fonda wouldn't last a Shadow Game," Jaylin smirked. Coach Fonda was also the school nurse Dr. Fontaine. The students only called her Coach Fonda when she was coaching and Dr. Fontaine when she was the school nurse. Being she had two jobs at the school, she had to balance both. Sometimes, she had to deal with patients, while she was still coaching. When that happened, a substitute teacher would take over as coach.
"You do know there are wild animals on the island, right?" Zane asked with folded arms.
"Which is why it's a good thing to bring a cell phone, just in case," Jaylin winked, showing her cell phone. "Now co'mon, let's see if you can beat me!" She began running backwards as the others ran to catch up with her.
It was only until close to bedtime before everyone returned from their training. Though, they took a shortcut through the woods and were all red, sweating, hurt and tired. This had been going on and on, day after day, week after week, and the five of them still couldn't run around the island without collapsing or having to go through a shortcut to get to bed. Some of them even vomited in the middle of their run during the first two weeks.
Despite Jaylin's skill in running 50 kilometers around, that didn't mean the Slifer Red girl was good at any sport. She was very bad at Tennis, which was Carl's kind of sport. Despite that, Jaylin still volunteered to help Carl practice for her game, especially since she was under Jaylin's training to survive a Shadow Game. Ronda helped too, making it Ronda and Jaylin versus Carl. Other students were at the tennis court, practicing as well.
"On the positive side, your cross-country dash did help improve my skills!" Carl said, hitting the ball with her racquet.
"It's not cross-country Carl, it's building-your-body-to-take-on-Shadow-Games," Jaylin corrected.
"Excuse me," Carl defended playfully.
"It's still gonna suck after school," Ronda said, trying to hit the ball and it bouncing behind her and Jaylin.
"Aw co'mon, it's not that bad. You haven't vomited in two weeks," Jaylin said, getting the ball and throwing it to Carl.
"It still doesn't help. I hate gym, I hate sports, and my legs hurt."
"You'll thank me by Christmas," Jaylin promised.
"Watch out!" Bastion cried out as a green ball headed straight for Jaylin. She tried catching it before a brown-haired tennis player hit the ball right before it could hit Jaylin, which headed straight for Bastion. He ducked and it hit the fence inside the tennis courtyard.
"Aw, I was gonna catch that," Jaylin pouted, folding her arms.
"You're just trying to avoid watching me kick both your asses," Carl teased as Jaylin rolled her eyes.
"That ball almost creamed you, are you okay?" The boy asked in a voice that reminded Jaylin of a younger version of Prince Charming from Shrek 2.
"I was going to catch it and tennis balls are hallow, compared to baseballs, but yeah, I'm okay," Jaylin replied. She noticed that this guy was smiling and staring at her strangely. "Uh... you okay, dude?"
"Oh yeah, I'm fine. I've just seen you around before. You're Jaylin Yuki, right?"
"Yep. You?"
"Harrington Rosewood. Anyways, back to my match!" Harrington said, walking off in a showoff manner.
"He's cute. I think he likes you, if you know what I mean," Ronda whispered with a sly smirk across her lips.
"Yeah, I kinda noticed. I'm already having a fanclub. First Chazz, now him," Jaylin smirked.
"You noticed Chazz's hit on you too?"
"Oh yeah! He's okay, but not my type really. In fact, I'm not planning on dating anyone right now. Neither of them are the right guy for me and I actually enjoy being single. Every time I hear about so-and-so having a BF, it always goes into drama and shit I don't even wanna know about. I've only seen one couple that's done swell and they're in their 30's. I'd rather lay off."
"Oh co'mon. Don't you wanna meet your own Prince Charming?"
"If the guy can surpass the sexiness of Jesse Anderson, I'll give him a shot," Jaylin said.
"Jesse Anderson, you mean the Pro Junior Duelist Champ famous for the Crystal Beast monsters?" Carl asked.
"That's the one! Say all you want about me finding my Prince Charming, but Charming wishes he were Jesse Anderson."
"I was thinking you would have the hots for Yugi Moto," Carl smirked.
"Ew! He's old enough to be my dad!" Jaylin cringed, thinking, 'like literally!'
"Not really, because he would've been 15 when you were born."
"And how many 15-year-old girls conceive children in the world? As I was saying," Jaylin replied grimly.
"Whatever. I still find him hot."
Jaylin had to shutter the thought, wondering if there was a song called Stacy's Dad, flipping the gender of the parent. She decided to change the subject. Her and Ronda continued to train with Carl until the time came for them to go on their training with running around the island. Zane, Syrus, Ronda, Alexis and Carl were getting better and were able to run half around the island without collapsing or vomiting. Though, there were still miles to go.
The next day, Jaylin and Ronda decided to train with Carl some more. Jaylin noticed Bastion was playing with Harrington, much to her slight surprise. It wasn't that Jaylin knew the guy that had an eye for her or anything, but Bastion didn't seem to be the kind of guy that would know Harrington. It didn't matter, it wasn't any of Jaylin's business anyways. Jaylin decided to continue on with training with Carl.
Bastion saw Jaylin and a smirk crept on his lips. He hit the tennis ball and aimed it right for her. Jaylin caught it with one hand, getting her mind on the game.
"YES! CAUGHT IT! IN YOUR FACE!" Jaylin shouted with her hyperactivity slash excitement. She threw the ball down to the ground and celebrated in a dance that included swishing her heels, then jumping in the air, doing the splits, touching the end of her toes in the air, then landing on her feet. "YEAH!" Ronda laughed as Carl smiled, shaking her head. Jaylin ran toward Bastion's direction, who was behind Harrington's direction.
"Wow, you caugh-" Harrington said before Jaylin stormed passed him.
Jaylin hugged Bastion, whose eyes bulged out of his eye sockets, before the hug ended. Jaylin said, "thanks a mighty bunch, Bastion!" Then, she did back-flipped, landing on her feet, before skipping to the tennis court. Bastion shrugged, shaking his head, while smiling. Jaylin was being random today.
"Hey, you can't talk to a first round pick like Jaylin! I mean you can't even play tennis right, so stay away from my Slifer Pixy!" Harrington shouted.
"What? We weren't even talking and who died and made you her father?" Bastion asked, with glaring eyes. Then, showed a smirk on his lips. "And Slifer Pixy? Chazz would make a better Casanova."
Jaylin turned to the argument happening, feeling infuriated at Harrington, while also grimacing at the idea of a tiny Slifer the Sky Dragon with wings. Chazz, at least, treated Jaylin with respect, he didn't tell her whom she could or could not be with like some parent or dictator. She was tempted on giving this jerk something to get angry or cry about. Though, she decided to see if Bastion could hold his ground first before doing anything.
"I'm warning you, step away from the beautiful girl! You're way out of your league! Don't make me go athletic on you!" Harrington shouted as everyone at the tennis court stopped to see where this fight would lead to.
"Uh-huh. Listen, how about you calm down before you get your arse handed to you? Jaylin and I aren't even together," Bastion warned. He was actually pointing out that Jaylin was going to kick this guy's ass, noticing her fists balling up, but Harrington seemed to be taking the warning the wrong way.
"How do you expect to kick my ass, huh Yellow boy!? How about a match? Winner becomes Jaylin's fiancée!"
"You're on!" Jaylin shouted, stepping in. "But it's a Duel Monsters game against me! I can be your fiancée, if you win!"
"J-Jaylin?"
"What's the matter, pretty boy? You expected a man-to-man fight or are you chicken!?"
"Calm down. I was only defending you against this asshole-"
"This asshole!? This asshole happens to be my friend and you must have some huge balls to call him that in front of me! I don't mind that you have a crush on me, but I expect you to give me and my friends a little respect! The only asshole I see is you! Now, duel me in the courtyard or Zane and I will hunt you down and give you something to be upset about!"
"Okay, okay, chill now. I-I accept. Just... let me get my deck," Harrington said, rushing out of the Tennis Court and on his way to his dorm room.
Everyone continued doing their business as Ronda walked up to Jaylin and asked, "were you really going to..."
"Na, I just needed something to scare that pussy enough to duel me," Jaylin said.
"You know, you didn't have to defend me like that," Bastion said with a hint of pride in him.
"This wasn't for you, Bastion. I fight for my own prize," Jaylin replied, showing a hint of pride. "When my daddy got beaten up for my sake, he fought his own battles on his own two feet. He made sure I never got involved in any of his fights and I'll continue to follow in his footsteps. I won't let anyone get involved, because of something I did. If it's my fault something happens, I fight my fights. I'll only let someone fight for me, if it's something I can't handle."
Jaylin left to retrieve her deck, while Bastion stood speechless. He kept thinking it was his own battle that he was fighting, but he never thought of it being Jaylin's battle as well. The more he thought about it, it did seem to make sense that this would be Jaylin's battle.
Jaylin waited, with her duel disk on her arm and her deck in her pocket, for Harrington to show up. Eventually, he did with his duel disk and deck. They checked the bottom of their deck to see who would play first. It was Harrington. They shuffled their deck, then drew five cards before Harrington drew his sixth card.
"I play Service Ace! I pick a card from my hand and you must decide if it's a monster, spell or trap. If you guess incorrectly, you take 1500 points worth of damage. I choose this card," Harrington said, activating his spell card, then pulling one of his cards slightly high up. "Which is it, my dear?"
Jaylin rolled her eyes, then replied, "trap?"
"Wrong, it's a monster card called Mega Thunderball!"
A bomb blasted on Jaylin's field, bringing her life points down to 2500. Jaylin stated, "you also have to remove that card from play and you don't have to explain the effects to me."
"I know, but I wanted to remind you just in case."
Jaylin sighed, facepalming herself, before replying, "whatever."
"I set one card and end my turn."
Jaylin drew her next card, then declares, "I summon Elemental Hero Knospe to the field! He attacks you directly!" Elemental HERO Knospe appeared on the field before shooting leaves at Harrington's direction. Harrington seemed to smirk in response.
"I activate Receive Ace, I can negate your attack by sending the top three-"
"Just get on with it!" Jaylin snapped before Harrington sent the top three cards on his deck to his graveyard and a huge tennis racket appeared on the field, bouncing Elemental HERO Knospe at Jaylin's direction, leaving her with 1000 life points remaining. "I throw in a face-down and that ends it!"
"Good!" Harrington smirked, drawing his next card. "I activate Smash Ace..." he showed the card he drew. "I can draw the top card of my deck and-"
"...if it's a monster, I take 1000 points of damage. I know that," Jaylin said, rolling her eyes as Harrington drew a card from the top of his deck and showed the monster card Mystical Shine Ball. A clear ball appeared on the field, being struck by a racket and heading toward Jaylin, who looked really bored. "I also activate Hero Barrier. When I have an Elemental Hero on my field, I can negate your attack." Elemental HERO Knospe created an invisible shield as the clear ball smashed onto the shield and broke into tiny pieces. "You're not the only one that can preach to the class."
"I graciously end my turn."
"Good," Jaylin declared, drawing her next card, then smirked and activated the exact card. "Now, I activate my spell card Rose Bud. I can tribute my Elemental Hero Knospe to special summon Elemental Hero Poison Rose, which cannot be normal summoned and only special summoned, if I use Rose Bud!" Elemental HERO Knospe's flower began to bloom into a large purple rose. Inside the purple rose appeared to be a young female warrior with a short green leafy dress and purple stockings. She wore a gold crown over her white peddle hair.
"Okay sweetheart, I got cha. The explanations are kind of annoying. I'll stop," Harrington promised in a flirtatious manner.
"You should've thought about your actions before you started f**king with me!" Jaylin snapped. "I also summon out Elemental Hero Ocean to the field, who attacks you directly!" Elemental HERO Ocean appeared boldly on the field, then twirled its staff before shooting a jet of water at Harrington, stooping his life points down to 2500. "And he's not the only one to kick your ass directly!" Elemental HERO Poison Rose's crown glowed and razor-sharp leaves levitated in the air and attacked Harrington directly and leaving him with only 600 life points left. "Due to Poison Rose's effect, it gains 200 attack and losses 200 defense, if she succeeds in giving my opponent battle damage. Also, she's the only one your monsters can attack!" Elemental HERO Poison Rose's attack rose to 2100 and defense dropped to 1800. "Your turn!"
"Great! I always knew you were a strong duelist. You're such a big strong girl. I like that about you."
"I thought it was my boobs you thought were big and strong," Jaylin commented with a hint of sarcasm. She could hear hints of laughter in the background, but she didn't care.
"I summon Big Server!" Harrington declared as a huge man with a blue bandanna, an orange shirt, and a tennis racket appeared on the field. "It attacks you directly, due to its effect!" Big Server ran up to Jaylin and hit her with its tennis racket as her life points stooped to 700. She just stood there boredly. "Now, I use its other effect and you get to draw one card!" Jaylin drew one card from her deck to her hand. "Now, I activate Service Ace!" He pulled one of the cards in his hand up. "Now, guess what card it is."
"It's a monster," Jaylin replied boredly.
"Good job! You're-"
"Cut the crap and continue."
"Okay, my little dumpling."
"Dumpling, so original," Jaylin muttered sarcastically, facepalming.
"I equip Giant Racket to Big Server! I end my turn!"
"Finally!" Jaylin shouted, drawing her next card. "I activate my field spell card Umi!" The field turned into nothing, but ocean. Harrington was slightly surprised that Jaylin would have a card like that in her deck. "This raises my aqua, sea serpent, thunder, or fish type monsters by 200 points both attack and defense, yada yada yada. Though, this also activates Ocean's effect. When Umi is activated on the field, he can attack you directly, which means you suck, including having a chance with me. Then again, you never had a chance!" Elemental HERO Ocean surfed on the waves and whacked Harrington over the head with its staff and brought his life points down to zero. "And I can't take you seriously, if you're not even trying, so I'm out! At least I got someone to steam off to!"
Jaylin turned off her duel disk, then removed her deck, before walking on her way from the courtyard.
"Wait, my love, come back!"
"Stop it, Harrington! You've already caused enough trouble as it is! God, why did you have to get pissed at Bastion just because Jaylin hugged him!? Seriously!" Chazz snapped, facepalming.
"You owe Bastion and Jaylin an apology. You should never treat a lady like a prized turkey to fight over. Jaylin isn't that hard to get along with. She's the only person of the female species, besides Alexis, that I can feel comfortable talking to, and who does get along with me in this school!?" Zane said plainly.
"Okay, maybe I did get overly jealous and went a little overboard when challenging Bastion to a duel. I never meant to hurt Jaylin," Harrington defended.
"If there's anyone you should be rivaling with, it's me, you dumbshit! Bastion is into Alexis, not Jaylin! Even with me, I'm not going to challenge anyone with her being the prize! She's a freakin' human being, not your personal slave! Also, just because you see something and assume it meaning love, you make an ass out of yourself. Sometimes a boy and a girl hug, who are just really close friends. Unless you actually see them doing lip to lip contact or being sexual, I wouldn't go off thinking it means love."
"Besides, what are you going to do when you meet Jaylin's father?" Zane decided to add in. Harrington's face turned pale after that question was asked. Zane figured that Harrington didn't know who Jaylin's father was, or his face wouldn't turn out so pale due to the whole adopted father being in play, but the mention of a father was a good addition to add the icing on the cake. "That's what I thought. I'd be thinking of an apology, if I were you."
Zane and Chazz left, deciding to leave Harrington with those thoughts.
