Different Dimension Distortion 7
Against the Paradox Part 1
It's been a week since Reiji was told that he would have to take on two opponents at the same time. Reiji wasn't concerned, he had taken on even stronger opponents from the future and dimensions. Reiji was fixing his deck and trying to get the plans for his machine but it was all false hope since he couldn't build it. He had to find a way home, take care of teaching and his students. He was having it pretty difficult lately.
Blue Dorm 7pm
Reiji was sat on his chair with his cards in front of him, trying to think of every tactic and combo he could use in desperate situations.
"The duel is tomorrow and I need to win if I plan on staying here. I don't know who my opponents are but I know I can defeat them." said Reiji as he walked over to his balcony. "The only thing that will be challenging is the condition they put in this duel. I know it it wont be easy but I have to win." said Reiji as he went back into his room and left for dinner.
Red Dorm 7.11 pm
Jaden and Syrus were in their rooms with Chumley. Jaden and Syrus were still silent because of what Reiji did for them. Jaden was on his bed laying down and Syrus was sat on the chair looking for his power bond spell card. Chumley was watching both of them from the top bed and knew his friends really needed some way to cheer up.
"Come on guys, I know you're upset for Declan but do you really think he would do this if he didn't know that he would win?" said Chumley. Jaden then got off the bed and Syrus turned around to Chumley.
"Chumley...it's not that. Even I know that Declan can beat anyone, it's just that he's always been looking out for us. I mean ever since we came here, he's always been the one to stick his neck for us." said Jaden.
"Yeah, I mean he was the one who saved me when I got caught at the girl's dorm." said Syrus as he left his power bond spell on the table.
"I feel as though we've been the bad friends this entire time, we're the reason why he's in all this trouble and now because of us again, he could lose his job." said Jaden.
"But that's what friends do, he stuck up and saved us because he considered us his friends. He didn't risk his life and saved you from getting expelled just so you could be all depressed. If you wanna thank him then why don't we go cheer him on tomorrow?" said Chumley.
"Thanks Chumley and you're right. But the only problem is that the duel is gonna be in the private duel arena. We can't go there." said Syrus. Jaden then jumped off his and went over to Syrus and patted him on the back.
"Come on Sy, do you really think that can stop us? We need to find a way to get in, our buddy needs the support and I say we give it to him." said Jaden.
"Yeah you're right, but I just hope he can win or else he'll be riding the bus out of here." said Chumley.
"That's exactly why he's not gonna lose and duh Chumley, we're on an island, so bus?" said Jaden/
"Okay Okay, can we please go for dinner now?" said Chumley. Just then all three of their stomachs started growling and they all started laughing. They all then went down to their cafeteria to have their dinner.
The next day
Duel Academy 6 am
Crowler was walking towards the duel academy in his usual attire. He had to get their early so that he could get all the preparations for the tag team that arrived at the island.
"(With this duo on the island, there is no way that Declan can win. Even the king of games had difficulty beating these two. Not to mention Declan also has that special condition." said Crowler. Crowler was walking towards the entrance but then he noticed someone standing at the front.
"Dr. Crowler!" said Chazz.
"Chazz? What are you doing here?" said Crowler.
"I'm here because I want you to put me in that tag duel I heard about." said Chazz.
"What? How did you hear about that?" said Crowler.
"The news was spreading like wildfire at the Academy and when I found out that Declan was duelling, I had to get in." said Chazz.
"I see but you do know that this duel will determine his future at this academy." said Crowler.
"I know and that's why if anyone is gonna ruin him, it has to be me." said Chazz.
"You?" said Crowler.
"Yes, I know I can beat him. I know I can send him packing this time." said Chazz
"Sorry but you'll be sitting this duel out Chazz." said Crowler.
"What? Why?!" said Chazz
"Don't get me wrong, your duelling skills are truly admirable but I'm afraid I'm not taking any chances this time. Which is why I brought in the most powerful tag duellist in the world!" said Crowler. Crowler then carried on walking towards the entrance and went inside the academy.
"Tch, even if I don't get to take him down. At least he'll get his punishment for messing with the Chazz." said Chazz as he went the other way.
So the day carried on like normal for the students. They all went to their classes and had their lunch but they were all still excited about the Tag duel that was going to happen today. They were all silently going through their day and waiting for classes to be over so they could go watch. Jaden and Syrus were just staring at the time all day and tried to get out of their classes as soon as they could.
"Okay everyone, I believe that's the end of class." said Professor Banner. Just then all of the students quickly got up from their seats and ran off to the duel arena. Jaden and Syrus however were taking there time as they knew that there was no easy entrance to duel arena since it was meant to be private. All the students were rushing towards the duel arena but as soon as they got there, there were guards covering the door with warning signs next to them.
"Hey, what's going on?!" said a Slifer student.
"This duel is private and we have been instructed to not let anyone in." said Guard 1.
"What?! That's so not fair, we wanted to watch this duel! We never get see something like this." said a Ra yellow student.
"Well what your asking for doesn't matter. We have rules to keep." said Guard 2
"This is so not fair! We deserve to watc..." said an obelisk blue student.
"ENOUGH!" said the leader of the "Disciplinary Action Squad". Just then all of the students quickly turned around to see a tall woman in military uniform. All of the students were tense and quickly getting out her way. "This duel is private and you will follow the rules or else you will be suspended."
"Suspended?!" said all the students as they all started leaving. The only students that were still at the location were Alexis and Bastion.
"I can't believe they won't allow us to watch." said Bastion annoyed. He was really hoping to see the full extent of Declan's duelling since the Duel Academy registration.
"It can't be helped and besides, Declan asked for this." said Alexis as she walked over to Bastion.
"Alexis, good to see you. And wait, Declan asked for this duel to be private?" said Bastion.
"Yes, apparently he didn't want anyone to see the outcome." said Alexis. Alexis was lying as she knew that Declan just didn't want everyone to know his summoning methods just yet.
"Shame, I was really hoping to see his duelling skills." said Bastion.
"Well I guess we have no choice but to follow the rules, come on." said Alexis as she started walking away but just as they got towards the end of the corridor, they noticed Syrus, Jaden and Chumley sneaking away.
"What are they doing?" said Alexis.
"Don't know but why not find out?" said Bastion as he went after them. Alexis then soon followed Bastion. Jaden and his friends carried on sneaking towards the back of the duel arena but there were still guards on some parts of the arena. They carried on walking slowly but then Chumley felt a tip on his shoulder which completely caught him off guard. Chumley was about to yell but Jaden quickly covered Chumley's mouth.
"Ssshh! Chumley, it's us!" said Bastion quitely.
"What are you guy's doing here?" said Syrus.
"Well we saw you guys heading towards the duel arena so we decided to follow behind." said Alexis.
"We just wanted to be there for Declan for his duel today and we had to get in no matter what." said Jaden.
"Yeah, that's why we decided to watch the duel from the upper parts of the arena. Luckily for us, we found a way in." said Syrus.
"Really? Then can we come along?" said Bastion.
"Of course, I'm sure the more people supporting Declan the better. Let's go." said Jaden. Then all of them started going from the back and went near the stairs leading to the upper parts of the arena. Alexis then tapped Jaden's shoulder.
"Jaden, can I talk to you for a second?" said Alexis.
"What is it?" said Jaden.
"Are you sure it was a good idea to bring Bastion with us? I mean what if Declan uses one of his secret cards?" said Alexis.
"Oh...didn't think of that but I'm sure that Declan wouldn't mind if one more person knows. I hope." said Jaden.
"(Me too.)" thought Alexis. They all then started walking towards the upper section of the arena but they were behind a wall so they wouldn't be easily noticed. There was no one at the duel arena just yet since Declan and the tag duellist were still in the changing room.
"Guess we arrived a bit sooner then I thought, we should probably wait a bit." said Jaden.
"Yeah, I guess so. But I wonder where Declan is right now?" said Syrus.
Inside changing rooms
Declan was rinsing his face with water. He then wore his white obelisk uniform and got his deck and duel disk ready since it was almost time. As he got them both, he started leaving the changing and started heading towards the arena but just as he was about to leave. Crowler was standing next to the door, waiting for him.
"Crowler, what are you doing here?" said Reiji
"Oh just here to say good luck. After all with the condition that we put on this duel, I doubt you have a good chance of winning. I bet not even the king of games would be able to win." said Crowler.
"That's your flaw Crowler, you underestimate me and I will show you that I can overcome anything." said Reiji.
"Yes well, I would love to see you overcome this challenge." said Crowler. Crowler started walking and tried to walk past Reiji but just as got next to him.
"By the way, it wasn't me who told them about the abandoned dorm incident." said Crowler as he started walking away.
Reiji was just staring on the ground and clenched his fists. "I know." said Reiji as he carried on walking towards the arena. He finally got to the arena only to find no one around the arena and the empty seats everywhere. This was probably for the best since he didn't want anyone to know about his other cards just yet.
"Look's like I'm here early, I wonder where my opponent's are..." said Reiji but then two figures just started back flipping to the other side of the arena where Reiji was standing. "What the?" Just then the two figures jumped above Reiji and landed next to each other. Both of them then stood up, crossing their arms together.
"Salutations you fool" said the figure in the red.
"Hope you're ready to duel." said the figure in green.
Reiji was just staring at them in confusion. So these were his opponents, he never met such an odd duo before so it was interesting to see what they could do against him.
"Nice to meet you, my name is Declan." said Reiji.
"I am Para." said Para
"I am Dox" said Dox
"And together we are the Paradox brothers." said both of them.
"(The Paradox Brothers? I have heard of them, I remember researching about them in the LDS duel history archive. They were duelling mercenary's and the best tag duellist in the world. Maybe this might just be a challenge after all.)" thought Reiji. "I believe you know the additional condition that has been put for me in this duel. That I have to begin with 2000 life points and you two get 12000."
"Of course we know, this makes it more easy." said Para.
"And with the two of us, this will end swiftly." said Dox.
"I believe we should now begin." said Para
"And soon enough, you will meet your end." said Dox.
"(I hope they don't plan on rhyming through our duel) Very well, let's begin." said Reiji as he walked over to the other side of the duel arena. "Lets begin."
"DUEL!" said Reiji, Para and Dox.
"I will begin, I draw. I normal summon the D/D Magical Sage Kepler! When this card is summoned, I get to add one "Covenant" card from my deck to my hand and I will add the "Covenant with the dark gate"! Next I activate my dark gate which allows me to add one D/D monster from my deck to my hand. I add the "D/D Lilith" to my hand. Then I set two cards and I end my turn." said Reiji.
Reiji LP : 2000 4 cards in hand and field.
Monster : D/D Sage Kepler 0 Atk/Def
Set cards : 2 Face up: Covenant with the dark gate
"You must be joking, I'm surprised that thing even has an attack mode." said Para as he drew a card. "This on the other hand is stronger, my Jirai Gumo!" Just then a giant spider (Ech, hate those things) like monster arrived on the field.
Para and Dox LP : 12000 5 cards in hand and 1 on field.
Monster: Jirai Gumo 2200 Atk/100 Def
"Then I guess I draw." said Reiji but then Covenant of the Dark Gate activated which decreased his LP down to 1000.
"Look brother, his life points are falling." said Para.
"And soon enough, he will lose everything." said Dox.
"I activate the effect of D/D/D Leonidas from my hand, when I take effect damage, I can special summon it on my side of field and regain the life points I lost." said Reiji as his life points increased to 2000. A warrior with a golden Spartan like amour came to the field, he had a giant sword and shield and a red cape. "Now I activate my Covenant with the Swamp King, this allows me to fuse two monsters to summon a fiend monster. I fuse my D/D Sage Kepler and my D/D lilith from my hand, to fusion summon the D/D/D Blaze Overlord Temujin!" said Reiji. A fire pillar came from the floor summoning the fire fiend. "(I can't attack yet since Dox hasn't had his turn yet. I need to see their power first)I next activate the effect of my dark gate to add D/D/D Hell Armageddon from my deck. I end my turn."
Reiji LP : 2000 3 cards in hand
Monsters : D/D/D Leonidas and D/D/D Blaze Overlord Temujin
Face up spells: Covenant with the dark gate and swamp king
Set cards : 2
"The best defense is also the greatest offense. Come forth, Kaiser Sea horse!" said Dox.
"Now, I activate my spell card, "Tribute doll"! To activate this, I must tribute one monster on our side of the field. Luckily my brother is really considerate with his. " said Dox as he nodded to his brother and Para nodded back. "Farewell Jirai Gumo!" Just then a dark tentacle came over and started engulfing the insect monster and destroyed it. "Now I am allowed to summon a level 7 monster this turn, and I choose to summon Kazejin!". A whirlwind started appearing on the field and from the centre of it rose a green ball monster with arms and "Wind" written in Kanji on its head.
Kazejin : 2400 Atk/ 1200 Def.
"He sacrificed his brother's monster to summon a better one for the team. Now that's tag duelling." said Bastion.
"Bastion, whose side are you on? Declan has it hard enough taking on those two with only 2000 life points."said Syrus.
"Nothing to worry about Sy, Declan still has a monster whose stronger than that Kaze...something." said Jaden.
"(Not bad, he used his brothers monster to summon an even stronger monster. These two really know how to work like a team.)" thought Reiji.
"Do you actually think you know anything of this game?" said Para
"You're a loser, you're a joke, in other words, you're lame!" said Dox
"And if he thinks that this is starting to get gruelling" said Para.
"Wait until I draw and give you a true schooling!" said Dox.
"(They're really going to carry on rhyming through out this duel." thought Reiji.
"I play Dark Designator! This powerful spell card allows me to call out of any monster that I can think of and if it's anywhere in my brother's deck. It's added immediately to his hand! Now let me see here, Sanga of the Thunder!" said Dox
"Hahaha, what do you know? It's right here ready to tear them assunder!" said Para as he picked out Sanga of the Thunder from his deck.
"How is this fair? Those two know each others deck like the back of their hand, of course he knows that card will be in his deck." said Syrus.
"Of course Syrus, that was the point. That's called tag duelling, knowing each others deck and helping each other out. These two really know the meaning of team work." said Alexis.
"Come on guys, we need to cheer on for Declan. Quietly of course, or else we'll be out of here." said Jaden.
Back on the arena
"The duel just started!" said Para as he rose his left arm.
"And yet it is almost done!" said Dox as he rose his right arm.
"For your demise, has already begun!" said Para and Dox, pointing at Declan.
Dox LP : 12000 2 cards in hand
Field : Kaiser Sea Horse 1700 Atk/ 1650 Def, Kazejin 2400 Atk/ 2200 Def
"(These two are really ready to go all out, I need to make sure that I can push them down a bit first)" thought Reiji. "I draw, I activate the effect of dark gate. With it, I add "D/D Night howling" from my deck. Go Leonidas! Attack Kaiser sea horse!" said Reiji. Just then Leonidas lunged towards Kaiser Sea Horse and sliced him in half.
"Ugh!" said Dox. Para/Dox LP : 11100
"What? Why didn't Declan attack the Kazejin? He had so much more attack points." said Chumley
"Actually, he's playing it smart. Kazejin has an ability which makes the attacking monster's attack points zero. So if Declan actually attacked Kazejin, he would've lost." said Bastion.
"Wow! So Declan actually thought this through, he's good!" said Syrus.
"Come on Declan, you can do this!" said Jaden (Quietly)
"Now I set one more card and I end my turn." said Reiji.
Reiji LP : 2000 4 cards in hand
Monsters : Leonidas 2600 Atk/ 1200 Def and Temujin 2000 Atk/ 1500 Def
Set : 3 cards
Face Up Sp/Tr : Covenant with Swam King and Dark Gate
"You may have given us some minor damage but it is nothing that me and my brother cannot manage! I draw." said Para as he drew a card. "I play "Monster Reborn" and I bring back the frightful Kaiser Sea Horse!". Just then a giant light came from the ground and the blue warrior came. "Now I tribute the Kaiser Sea Horse, witness our true force! Sanga of the Thunder!" Just then the sea horse disappeared and a lightning bolt struck down on the ground. The ground then opened and a golden monster with the "Thunder" (in Kanji) came to the field.
"(Amazing, now he has two level 7 monsters on the field. I guess he just needs one more and their true power will be revealed.)" thought Reiji.
"How is that possible? He only used one monster to summon a level 7?" said Syrus
"That's due to Kaiser Sea horse's special ability. It counts as two tribute for the summoning of a light monster." said Bastion
"Now I activate the "Autonomous Action Unit", for this I pay 1500 life points and I summon one monster from your graveyard and I pick "D/D Lilith"." said Para. Para LP : 9600
D/D lilith then rose from the ground in attack mode. 100 Atk
"She will not stay for long because I play "Tribute Doll", to make her gone!" said Para. Just then the black tentacles came in and destroyed Lilith. "Now witness our power unseen, and come forth, Suijin!". A monster with "Water" in Kanji came to the field.
"Oh no! Now those guys have more stronger monsters then Declan!" said Syrus.
"But that's not the last of it, when all of them are on the field. An even stronger monster will appear!" said Bastion.
"What?!" said Syrus, Chumley and Jaden.
"Three monsters on our side, what could be better?" said Para
"I know what brother, when they come together!" said Dox. Reiji was just staring at the monsters, knowing what was coming to get him.
"Prepare yourselves, I sacrifice Kazejin, Suijin and Sanga of the Thunder! So that I can now summon the ultimate monster! GATE GUARDIAN!" said Para. A monster combined with all three of the monster had arrived on the field. Suijin in the bottom, Kazejin in the middle and Sanga on the top.
Gate Guardin : 3750 SAtk / 3400 Def
"Gate Guardian! Now that's a big monster!" said Chumley
"Not to mention strong!" said Syrus.
"Will you guy's stop being so impressed?! Declan's in a bad situation!" said Alexis
Back on the arena
"Just wait for his attack, attack D/D/D Leonidas! Tidal Surge Attack!" said Para. Just then lightning started forming around the Guardian's head and water started forming as well. Both of them combined and blasted like a hydro pump with thunder. It hit Leonidas directly causing him to get blasted away.
Reiji LP : 850
"Oh no! Declan's under a 1000 life points, that mean's his "Covenant" spell card's will destroy him!" said Syrus.
"Not helping Syrus!" said Chumley
"Come on Declan, you have to find a way." said Jaden
Back to the Arena
"Not bad but as they say, the bigger they are, the harder they fall. So I will just have to bring it down." said Reiji.
"I now set one card face down and now lets see how you turn this around." said Para
Para LP : 9600, 0 cards in hand
Monsters : Gate Guardian
Set: 1
"I draw!" said Reiji.
"Now your "Covenant" card will destroy you, what will you do?" said Dox
"I will activate a trap! Lease Laundering! With this, I can send all my face up "Covenant" cards to the graveyard and gain 1000 life points for each and I also get to a draw card for each card I sent to the graveyard." Just then a giant whirlwind came in and destroyed both "Dark Gate" and "Swamp King". Reiji LP 2850
"A lucky trick but it will not last long" said Para
"With our Gate Guardian, your life points will be gone!" said Dox
"Is that so? Now allow me to show a part of my power!" said Reiji.
"What?!" said both Para and Dox
"I will begin by summoning the D/D Night howling and activating it's effect, I can special summon a D/D monster from my graveyard. I choose the D/D Lilith and activate her ability. I can now add one D/D monster from my extra deck! I add the D/D Magical Sage Kepler!" said Reiji
"Extra? What is this? I've never seen these types of cards before, what deck is he playing?" said Bastion.
"If only we knew." said Syrus
"Yeah, he hasn't even told us what type of cards he's using." said Jaden
Back to the Arena
"I now tune these monsters together, so that I can summon a new type of monster. I synchro summon, the D/D/D Gale Overlord Alexander!" said Reiji. Just then the monster started shining into stars which brought a light covered in whirlwind. Out of that whirlwind came a monster with a green cape and a giant blade! Alexander : 2500 Atk / 2000 Def
"Synchro what? What is that card?!" said Para
"We have never seen such things!" said Dox
"This is unbelievable, what cards is he playing? I have never seen a synchro card before." said Bastion.
"We've seen it once. When he duelled against Chazz, he used it to bring out an even stronger monster." said Alexis.
"Yeah, he got 5 monsters in one turn because of that card." said Jaden.
Back to the Arena
"Now I activate the effect of Swiral Slime from my hand, I can fuse itself and one other D/D monster and I fuse the D/D Cerberus! To fusion summon the D/D/D Oracle Overlord D'Arc!" said Reiji. Just then a red and blue vortex came in and out of it came the dark warrior with bat like wing and armour. Oracle D'Arc : 2800 Atk / 2000 Def
"Now that's the monster he used against that shadow duellist guy." said Jaden.
"It's strong but it doesn't have enough power compared to the "Gate Guardian"." said Bastion
"How about not thinking so negatively, I'm sure he has a trick up his sleeve." said Alexis
Back to the Arena
"Now the effect of my Temujin activates, when a D/D monster is special summoned to my side of the field. I can special summon a D/D monster from my graveyard and I choose the D/D Lilith. Now my Alexander's effect activates, when a D/D monster is summoned to the field, I can special summona level 4 or lower D/D monster and I summon the D/D Cerberus from my graveyard." said Reiji
"Tch, you may have the power in numbers but our "Gate Guardian" is still stronger!" said Para.
"He's right, he has many monsters but that's no good against that strong monster." said Bastion
"I now overlay my two monsters! Combine your powers to form into a new monsters! I XYZ summon the D/D/D Caesar the Wave Overlord!" said Reiji. Just then a whirlpool started rising from the ground and out of it came a monster with purple armour and 4 spikes behinds it back. It also had a giant blade and two light balls circling it. Caesar : 2400 Atk / 1200 Def
"I can't believe what I'm seeing, I can't believe such cards exist. How can he know about all of this?!" said Bastion.
"No idea, but man those cards are cool!" said Jaden.
"Jaden, as impressive as they are, they still don't have enough attack points to defeat that Guardian." said Syrus.
Back to the Arena
"I don't know how you summoned them but it matters not!" said Para
"For you cannot win, if that's all you got!" said Dox. Reiji was just pushing his glasses back.
"I'm not done yet, I set the pendulum scale of 4 and 8! I place the D/D/D Hell Armageddon and D/D Proud Ogre!" said Reiji. Just then two light's form on the right and left of Reiji, with the numbers 4 and 8.
"What is that now?! Did he pendulum scale?!" said Bastion.
"Seriously, he's just full of surprises. I wonder what they can do." said Jaden.
"With this I can simultaneously summon any number of D/D monsters from my hand or extra deck whose level are between my pendulum scales! I pendulum summon the D/D/D Leonidas!" said Reiji. Just then a portal arrived between the two scales and a golden light shined down, summoning the D/D/D Leonidas once again.
At that point, everyone had their mouths completely open as they couldn't believe what they witnessed. Reiji just summoned a field full of monsters with no trouble at all.
"Now I activate the effect of pendulum cards!" said Reiji.
"What?! Those cards have additional abilities?!" said Bastion. He was completely astonished that he saw cards that he could never calculate before.
"I pay 500 life points so that I can give Oracle D'Arc an extra 500 attack points. My Hell Armageddon can give 800 life points to one D/D monster on the field until the end of this turn! I pick my Oracle D'Arc!" said Reiji. Reiji LP : 2350
Oracle D'Arc : 4100
"Alright! Now he's got an even stronger monster!" said Syrus
"I can't believe it, in one turn he's got the power to defeat them!" said Bastion
"Now Oracle! Attack that Guardian!" said Reiji as he pointed towards the monster. Just then Oracle started flying towards the Guardian with her sword.
"Not so fast, I activate my trap! Mirror force!" said Para. Just then a mirror came in and blasted a strong light towards the monsters. Just then all of the monster got destroyed in an instance. As the smoke cleared, Reiji's field was completely empty.
"Oh no! His monsters got destroyed!" said Syrus.
"This is not good, now Reiji's completely defenceless!" said Bastion
"No! Declan's in trouble!" said Jaden
"Declan! No!" said Alexis.
Back into the Arena
"Hahahahaha! Now you have lost!" said Para
"And now you will have to pay the cost!" said Dox
Chapter 7 - End
(A/N Wow, this is the longest disappointing chapter. I tried to do my best with the Paradox brother dialogues but rhyming isn't my thing. So Reiji has finally used all of his summoning methods but sadly one mirror force kind of wrecked it all. That's one of the flaw I had originally found with the D/D/D. Also I know that D/D/D have a covenant card to negate traps but I didn't want to use that just yet. Also I would like to thank , PersonaQeminod1, MaleficKing and and the random guest, for reviewing on my stories so far. I'm always happy when I see a new review or a view on my fic's and I'm really glad that you all can give me your opinion and criticism on them. Please stick around for future chapters and hope you all have a good morning/day/evening/night.)
