Different Dimension Distortion

Against the Paradox 2

Everybody was surprised to see that Reiji had used so many different summoning methods that nobody had ever seen before. He used fusion, synchro, xyz and pendulum in one turn but it was a wasted effort since the paradox brothers destroyed all of his monsters with mirror force. There was cloud of smoke surrounding Reiji so no one was able to see Reiji's field.

"Oh no! Declan has no monsters!" said Syrus.

"This is not good for Declan!" said Chumley

"Come on guys, not helping!" said Jaden.

"I can't believe it, Declan had the perfect formula of monsters ready to take on the Paradox brothers but because of that one mirror force, all of them are gone. Now it's two to none" said Bastion.

"Declan! No! It can't end like this!" said Alexis.

Back to the Arena

"This duel will soon be over!" said Para

"And also your career!" said Dox

"So end your turn!" said Para

"So that we can make you face your fear!" said Dox as they both started laughing.

"Is that so?" said Reiji as he pushed his glasses back. Then the paradox brothers stopped laughing and looked at Reiji. As the smoke started clearing away, it was revealed that Reiji still had Temujin, Alexander, D'Arc and Caesar on the field. Jaden and his friends couldn't believe what they saw, Reiji's entire field should've been empty since his monsters were destroyed due to the mirror force but he still had four one the field.

"What? How can this be?!" said the Paradox Brothers

"Before mirror force destroyed my monsters, I activated the effect of my Caesar. By detaching an overlay unit, I can special summon as many D/D monsters which were destroyed." said Reiji causing everyone to gasp.

"I can't believe it! He was that prepared!" said Syrus

"That is awesome! You show em!" said Jaden

"(I can't blieve it, using all of these summoning methods and even being able to recover all of his destroyed monsters. Declan, you truly are a mysterious duellist, I will have to try hard to crack a formula to defeat you.) Amazing." said Bastion.

"This is great! Now Declan still has a chance to take down those Paradox guys!" said Chumley.

"Go get him Declan! I know you can defeat them" said Alexis.

Back to the arena

"It matters not how many monster you have, your monsters are weak!" said Para

"For our guardian is still stronger, your future is bleak!" said Dox.

"I wouldn't be so sure abou that. Since my Temujin was sent to the graveyard, I can add one Covenant spell or trap from my graveyard and I pick the Covenant with the Dark Gate. And also when Caesar is sent to the graveyard, I can add one Covenant spell of trap from my deck to my hand. I will pick my Covenant with the dark witch. Next I play my dark gate to add D/D/D Kaiser the Conqueror and then I will set one card. That will do." said Reiji.

Reiji LP : 2350 2 cards in hand

Face up SP/TR/PD: Covenant with the Dark Gate, D/D Proud Ogre, D/D/D Hell Armageddon

Set: 3 cards

Monsters: D/D/D D'Arc, Temujin, Alexander, Caesar (0 units)

"Fine then, my draw." said Dox as he drew his card but just as he was finished drawing. Reiji's body started glowing as his life points increased to 6350.

"What is this? How did you life points increase?!" said Dox.

"When I use the effect of my Caesar, I must take 1000 damage for each monster I summoned and since I summoned 4, that would be 4000." said Reiji.

"Then how did you gain the life points instead?!" said Para.

"Because as long as I have D'arc on the field, any time I would lose life points. I gain them instead. So that 4000 damage increased my life points." said Reiji.

"Whoa, he's really back in the game now." said Syrus

"Yeah, now he's got monsters and life points. I knew he could win this." said Chumley.

"But for how long? Reiji's monsters still don't have enough attack points to take on that Guardian." said Bastion.

"I activate my pot of greed and draw two cards! Now Gate Guardian, attack that Oracle!" said Dox as he pointed to the female warrior monster. Gate Guardian then charged his attack and got ready to blast D'Arc. He then sent a giant energy blast towards D'Arc.

"I don't think so, I activate the trap! Covenant with the dark witch, this gives all D/D monsters I control a boost of 1000 attack points. So now my D'Arc gets a boost of 1000!" said Reiji

D'Arc : 3800 Atk

Just then D'Arc quickly drew out her sword and sliced the energy blast.

"Impossible!" said the two brothers

D'Arc then quickly charged towards the guardian and sliced the monster in half. The Guardian then fell into the two pieces and exploded.

Para and Dox LP : 9550

"Alright! He did it, the Guardian is down!" said Chumley

"Yeah, now there's no way that Declan can lose. Those two don't have a single monster on their field." said Chumley

"Way to go, Declan. You got this!" said Jaden.

"I can't believe it, he was at 2000 life points with no monsters and now the tides have turned." said Bastion.

"That's Declan for you, a guy who just won't give up!" said Alexis.

"I will set three cards and end my turn." said Dox.

Para and Dox LP : 9550

Dox : 0 cards in hand

Set : 3 cards

Monsters: 0

"Then its time I begin and end this duel!" said Reiji as he drew a card.

"And now I activate my trap! Compulsory Evacuation Device! I return your D'Arc.!" said Dox. D'Arc was then sent back into the extra deck. "And you know what that means, your Covenant cards can deal you damage!" said Dox. Reiji quickly clenched his chest since there was a dark aura which caused his to lose 2000 life points.

Reiji LP : 4350

"Oh man, his D'Arc is gone!" said Syrus

"Which means that Declan can take the damage from his Covenant cards. Not good." said Chumley

"Come on guys, there's no need to worry. Besides, Declan's got tons of life points and since he's got three monsters and they have none, there's no way he can lose." said Jaden.

"I hope so Jaden." said Alexis

"Now then, I activate my dark gate's ability to add D/D Galilei! Now I activate the effect of D/D/D Hell Armageddon to increase my Alexander's life points by 800! Now go attack him directly Temujin!" said Reiji. Just then Temujin got his blade ready and blasted a fire slash towards the brothers.

"I think not you fool because now I play Waboku!" said Dox. Just then three women wearing blue robes came in and formed a shield which deflected the attack. "Now we take no damage, hopefully we can manage." said Dox

"I end my turn." said Reiji

Reiji LP : 4350 3 cards in hand

Face monsters: D/D/D Temujin, Alexander and Caesar (0 units)

Face up SP/TR/PD: Covenant with the Dark Witch, Dark Gate, D/D Proud Ogre and Hell Armageddon.

Set: 2 cards

"Ok, so they stalled for one more turn. That doesn't mean anything, Declan can still win this." said Chumley

"Hopefully soon, those Covenant cards will continuously carry on taking his life points away and with the amount he's left on. He better hurry it up." said Bastion.

"Now I draw. I activate the pot of greed and draw two new cards." said Para. "Now I activate the spell card, lightning vortex!" Para then discarded a card and then three lightning bolts went in and blasted all of Reiji's monsters.

"Oh man! Declan lost all of his monsters again!" said Syrus

"And something tells me that they won't be coming back!" said Bastion

"I activate the effect of Temujin and Caesar! Temujin allows me to add Covenant with the Swamp King and Caesar allows me to add Re-Contract Covenant from my deck!" said Reiji.

"That will matter very little once I activate this! Dark Element!" said Para. All of a sudden the entire field was covered in darkness, and then a giant portal formed on the ground.

"What's going on?! What are they doing?" said Syrus

"I don't know but something tells me we're about to find out!" said Jaden.

"This spell card can activate when Gate Guardian is in the graveyard! Now by paying half of our life point, we can summon a monster that can't be beat in battle! Dark Guardian!" said Para and Dox. A monster then came out of the dark portal. A monster with lower spider like body and a giant axe.

Para and Dox LP : 4775

Dark Guardian : 3800 Atk

"Invincible in battle and has those attack points?" said Bastion

"This is not looking good, not to mention Declan has no monsters!" said Chumley

"Now Dark Guardian! End this with Dark Slash Bash!" said Para. The monster then picked up his axe and got ready to attack.

"I activate the effect of my dark witch, by discarding one D/D card I destroy your Dark Gaurdian!" said Reiji as he discarded his D/D Galilei.

"Sorry but Dark Guardian cannot be destroyed by card effects!" said Para.

"What?!" said Reiji.

"No! If this connect, then Declan's done for!" said Bastion.

"What?!" said Syrus

"The attack will leave Declan to 550 life points but his Covenant cards will finish this duel!" said Jaden.

"No! Declan, you can't let it end this way!" said Alexis

Dark Guardian then swung his axe at a speed and sent a giant a flame wave towards Reiji. Reiji got hit with the flame attack and got pushed back. Reiji then collapsed on knees.

"Hahahaha! Now it's over!" said Para

"You can carry this shame forever!" said Dox

"No...it can't be. He...lost?!" said Syrus

"I can't believe this. Declan actually lost?" said Alexis as she had a tear in her eye.

"Wait! Guys look!" said Jaden. All of them then turned their heads to Reiji who was once again standing with 4350 life points.

"What?! How is this possible? You should be defeated!" said Para

"Check again, I activated my trap! D/D/D Contract Modification, if I were to take damage this turn. I can banish a D/D monster with the highest attack point in my graveyard and all damage I take becomes zero!" said Reiji.

"What?!" said Para and Dox.

"Alright! Declan's still in the game!" said Jaden.

"Yes! Declan still has a chance!" said Syrus.

"Well then, that's all from me!" said Para

"And next turn, I give you my guarantee." said Dox

"This duel will be ours, just wait and see!" said Para.

Para and Dox LP : 4775

Face up monsters : Dark Guardian

Card in hand : 0

Set Card: 1

"There won't be another turn for you. I have had enough of your rhymes and your duelling. I don't want any trouble with you guys but I just want you to know, that I will not lose this duel. There are students out there who are counting on me and I will not fail them. This duel ends now!" said Reiji.

"It is?!" said Jaden and his friends.

"I don't think so! I activate my trap, Spirit Barrier! So long as we have a monster, we take no damage!" said Para

"Oh man and since that Guardian can't be destroyed, they won't take any damage!" said Syrus.

"Don't worry Sy, Declan made it this far. I'm sure he can do it!" said Jaden

"I draw and now I take damage from my Covenant cards." said Reiji as a dark shadow made him lose 2000 life points. Reiji LP : 2350

"Now I activate my Covenant with the Swamp King! Now time to finish this duel! I pendulum summon, D/D/D KAISER THE CONQUEROR!" said Reiji. Just then there a portal which summoned the tall monster with a red scarf and a curved blade.

D/D/D Kaiser the Conqueror : 2800 Atk / 1200 Def

"That card is useless!" said Para

"Your duelling skills are hopeless!" said Dox

"He's right, even though that monster is strong. It can't beat that Guardian and since that Spirit Barrier is still on the field, they won't take any damage!" said Bastion.

"Seriously Bastion, whose side are you on?" said Alexis.

"I don't think so, when my Kaiser is special summoned I can see up to two spell or trap cards to graveyard and for each, he gets to attack an additional time. And with my Proud Ogre and Hell Armageddon, I increase his attack by 1300!" said Reiji

Kaiser : 4100 ATK

Reiji LP : 1850

"Looks like you were more stupid than we thought!" said Para

"We take no damage or have you forgot?!" said Dox

Reiji just pushed his glasses back and stared at the two. "I said this duel will end and so it shall. Attack Kaiser!" said Reiji. Just then the Warrior with the curved blade charged towards the Dark Guardian.

"What's the point? The monster won't destroyed no matter how many times he attacks it and not to mention they don't take damage?!" said Bastion.

"Why are you attacking when you know its pointless?" said Para

"Your attacks are futile and your cards are useless!" said Dox

"I forgot to mention, when my Kaiser is pendulum summoned to the field. All face up cards you control are negated." said Reiji.

"WHAT?!" said Para and Dox. Jaden and his friends as well. Kaiser then swung his curved sword destroying the guardian.

Para and Dox LP : 4475

"Don't forget my Kaiser still has two more attacks left. GO KAISER, finish this duel!" said Reji as he pointed to the two brothers. Kaiser quickly swung his curved swords sending two air slash towards them.

Para and Dox LP : 0

Just then all of the cards then disappeared and the duel was over. The Paradox brothers then collapsed on the ground and Reiji just started walking away but just as he was walking he stopped.

"You guys can come out now." said Reiji. There was no sound. "Seriously guys, I know you guys are there. Just come out." said Reiji. Just then Jaden, Syrus, Chumley, Bastion and Alexis came out.

"How did you know? We were at the top stage, you couldn't have heard us!" said Jaden.

"Are you kidding me? I could hear all of you guys screaming and shouting from a mile away. I thought you guys knew that this was a private duel." said Reiji. All of them then had their head down.

"But thanks for cheering me on guys." said Reiji. All of them then had their heads up and jumped on Reiji.

"I knew you could do it, Declan!" said Jaden

"We never doubted you for a second!" sid Syrus but then everyone glared at him. Syrus just backed down.

"We'll I don't know how you guys got here but you guys should leave quickly. The other teachers will be here soon and if you guys get caught, you'll be in trouble. So get going." said Reiji. Just then they all started rushing off except for Alexis. "What is it?" said Reiji. Just then Alexis kissed Reiji on the cheek again.

"I'm glad you won." said Alexis as he ran to catch up with the others. Reiji then carried on staring Alexis and wiped his face.

"I don't need such feelings. I'll make sure to tell her that next time." said Reiji as he went through the exit.

Outside the exit

There were teachers and guards waiting for someone to get out. There was Fontaine, Banner and Crowler.

"(Aren't they done with him yet? I can't wait to see him get kicked out of this school!)" thought Crowler. Just then the door opened and all the teachers turned their heads towards the door and they saw Reiji come out of the door. Fontaine and Banner were smiling to see that Reiji won but Crowler had a shocked face.

"Declan! You won?" said Fontaine.

"Yes, I did." said Reiji.

"That's great! But where are the Paradox Brothers?" said Banner

"They're still at the duel field, they're tired though. I think its best if we call someone to help them." said Reiji.

"Okay then, I'll go check on them but congratulations on winning." said Fontaine as she went towards the duel arena with her first aid.

"I will go tell the Chancellor of your victory. Congratulations Declan!" said Banner as he left with Pharaoh. Reiji then carried on walking but stopped near Crowler.

"Surprised that I won? Not that it matters, I just want you to remember what I said and leave those kids alone. I'm here to stay and if I find you messing with them. It will be you duelling for your job here." said Reiji as he walked away. Crowler just collapsed and fell on his knees.

"(I can't beat him! How does he do it? Just who is he?!)" thought Crowler

At the Chancellor's Office

"Declan, I am truly sorry for what we had to make you go through. Your students told me about what you did for them why you were protecting them. I am glad you protected them." said Chancellor.

"It's fine, as a teacher it's our responsibility to look out for our students." said Reiji.

"I'm glad to hear it. In fact, in a month, duel academy is going to be hosting the Annual School Duel. We will be inviting the North Academy for a duel and I was hoping you could represent us?" said Chancellor Sheppard.

"Me? Shouldn't one of the students be representing the school?" said Reiji.

"Yes that's true, however I'm sure they wouldn't mind if we bend the rules just this once. Besides with your amazing duelling talent, there's no way we can lose." said Sheppard.

"Um..ok. I'll do it." said Reiji.

"Thank you Declan, if you win, I'll give you a bonus as well." said Sheppard.

"Thank you, now if you don't mind. I want to go and rest." said Reiji.

"Of course, once again I'm sorry about this whole ordeal and hope you can do your best for the academy." said Sheppard.

"You can count on me." said Reiji as he left. Reiji then got out of the office and left for the dorms but just as he was walking, he saw Chazz waiting for him.

"So I see you lost huh, I guess not even you can be the best." said Chazz

"Not really, I actually won." said Reiji

"What?! How's that possible?" said Chazz

"Simple, I defeated both of the brothers." said Reiji

"It can't be, you shouldn't have won." said Chazz

"Well, even I can pull miracle's. Not that I needed it." said Reiji as he started walking away but just as he was about leave. "Oh and by the way Chazz, I know it was you who told the school about us."

"What?! What are you talking about?" said Chazz

"Don't think I'm stupid, I know you followed me that night and you took those pictures. You tried to get me out of this school just because I defeated you. You tried to take the cowards way out and your plan failed. I didn't plan on saying anything for your sake but if you try something like this again, your enrolment here will be short." said Reiji as he walked away.

In ?

"Hehehe, our master will soon realise his true potential." said ?

"I can't wait, once he unleashes his true power. There will be nothing to stop him." said ?

"Indeed, once we are unleashed, our master will be unstoppable but for now, we must be patient." said ?

Chapter 8 - End

(A/N I do hope you enjoyed this chapter. I decided to let Reiji take on Chazz during the School Duel because I thought that was the appropriate time to reveal his cards and who he was to the world. However if anyone has any ideas about when Reiji should reveal all of his cards, please tell me. I write this fic for your enjoyment and I wouldn't mind if everyone can give their opinion. Also I need your opinion on pairings, if you want any because something tells me that no one wants anyone with Reiji. By the way, there won't be any chapters for a while because tomorrow I will be having an operation and I will be stuck in the hospital. But until then please give me any criticism for story improvement. I do hope you all stick around for future chapters and review. I hope you have a good morning/day/evening/night)
