Chapter 7

Throughout most of the Morning, Claudia had been introduced to the class twice by two different teachers, the first time she had to make a statement on who she was, which thanks to the angry Chazz made inside her, she managed to perfectly state who she was without any stuttering. It had amazed both her roommates on how she could go from nervous shy girl, to confident out spoken in a matter of 10 minutes.

Her second teacher though was Professor Crowler, and immediately he began lecturing her about the school uniform policy which she bit back saying, "I'm not having perverts in this school look up my skirt and that includes teachers too!" he almost sent her to the principle's office until Chazz spoke up, "Let her wear what she want's cause after today I'll make her wear that short skirt." A bunch of snickering was heard and Crowler then found out from another student with dirty blonde hair that a duel was going down after school with both Chazz and Claudia.

In which he asked if he could speak to Chazz after class about something.

It wasn't long until the bell rang just after 3rd period of Dueling Alchemy signifying that it was lunch time. Once that school bell rang, it triggered something inside Claudia which caused a loud growl not from her own stomach but from Jaden who sat next to her, quickly they both packed their things, "Food time!" came out of both mouths, and Sirus just sighed, "Oh great, Claudia's a female Jaden…" Claudia just laughed and roughed up the kids hair, "Sorry little dude, but a girls got to eat especially after 3 boring classes… I knew most of this stuff before I even entered the school. I did a lot of research on duelling back home in America."

Sirus just tried to get his hair back straight as he picked up his books, he noticed that Claudia held the straps on her backpack tightly, "Plus I'm only grabbing a sandwich from the lunch room then heading up to the school roof, hopefully I can get a good signal up there for the internet."

Curious both Sirus and Jaden looked to her, "Why would you need the internet? I thought you was going to look into Chazz deck?" Jaden spoke with a confused look on his face, but got worried when she broke out into a slight grin. "I am Jay, Trust me this is how I always get info on people. Just like taking sweet's from a baby. Anyway less chatter more walking! I'm hungry! Show me the way to the lunch room!" With that the Trio left the classroom, as well as most of the student's apart from Chazz. He had been watching the girl before walking up to Professor Crowler.

"You wanted to speak with me?" Crowler nodded sitting down in the teachers chair, with a grin on his face, "This duel you are going to be in with Miss Donovan, I want you to pose pone it until later this evening… when the school facilities are closed…"

Chazz let a smirk appear upon his face, he knew what his dorm head was indicating, and that meant trying to catch the girl in an illegal duel on campus to expel the girl. "Consider it done Crowler, and I'm going to enjoy beating that girl into the ground."

He reached over and shook hands with the teacher before leaving to meet up with his group for lunch.

WH WH WH WH WH

15 minutes later, the Slifer trio was sat upon the roof, Claudia had her food beside her, taking a bit of her sandwich every so often, but her laptop was placed in front of her, as Sirus couldn't believe the speed she was typing on it, he knew after last night with the duel disk she was a genius but he had no idea what she was doing.

"Um…Claud? I thought that.." She held a finger up to the chestnut haired teenager, "I am, I'm hacking into Duel Academy's mainframe on all the students, this way I can find out what deck Chazz runs and began forming a way to beat his deck, and who ever set up the network in this school is completely lame, they have so many security flaws it's unbelievable."

Her eye's never left the screen as she reached over picking up her Coke and taking a sip, she was so focused that she didn't notice both boy's faces, "HACKING! Claudia! You could get expelled if your found out!" Taking the can away from her lips, she looked down at the smaller friend. "That's why you need to know how to cover your tracks, I've been hacking into bigger systems than Duel academy since I was 4, this is a walk in the park for me dude."

She typed in Chazz name, and then sat back letting the computer take over a wide database search of all the student's with the name Chazz, "Now all we have to do is wait and then boom all info on Chazz will be at my fingertips, Don't worry guy's if I can hack into the NSA and not get caught then no one will ever find out what I was doing up here."

She felt an arm slump around her shoulder, "Man bro, you're like a super wiz!" Claudia just smiled to him, "I'm a technician of course I got the brain's dude." A beep came from her laptop and she leaned forward and looked over the screen, a large grin broke out on her face after reading all the details, and then closed her laptop. "Right now I know what I can do."

WH WH WH WH WH WH

When the school day ended she was stood outside the school stadium waiting for her opponent to show but he wasn't a show, until she saw a blonde haired girl with two other females walking up to the stadium, crossing her arms, with Sirus and Jaden stood next to her, "Claudia I presume?"

She gave a nod, her eye's hardened at the blonde girl, "Yes, that's me where's Princeton? Chickened out of our duel?" the blonde shook her head and handed her a letter. Which Claudia took and looked it over, "That little brat… he's reschedualed it for 8pm tonight"

Sirus stood straight and looked to her, "But Claudia!" "Oh I know little dude, well if that's what he wants he gets, I'm assuming you are in the same dorm as him, well tell him that I'll be there and to make sure he brings his maids outfit"

"I will, just a word of warning though I'd be careful with that Attitude Claudia because it will cause some problems with a lot of people around here." With that the girl turned around and began walking away as Claudia screwed up the note and threw it into the nearest trashcan, she picked up her bag from the floor, "Come on boy's this gives me more time to go over my deck and to get some grub in my stomach. May as well get today's homework out of the way and give home a call."

With that the Trio left the School stadium and headed back to her car.

45 minutes later the trio was sat on the grass outside the Slifer dorms, Claudia had a coffee next to her while her two boy's was going through a practice duel with each other, she didn't know much about their decks apart from that Jaden's was a warrior hero deck, and Sirus played something called Roids. It was interesting to watch, Taking out her phone and looking through previous messages, she let out a sigh, her best friend hadn't once text her to find out how she was doing.

It was slightly disappointing because she had always relied on Steve to be there for her, biting her lip and leaning her head backwards looking up to the sky, she let out a sigh which caught Jaden's attention, "You ok Claud?" she let off a slow nod, "Yeah sure, just can't get this duel off my mind…."

Jaden finished off Sirus quickly and then walked over sitting down on the grass, "hmm that doesn't seem the case to me, I may not be observant much but you've held that phone in your hand for at least 10 minutes wishing for someone get in touch with you." Looking down at her phone and then tossing it to the side she brought her knees up to her chest, "Just my best friend, he promised that even though I had to come here, that we would keep in contact and not once has he answered any of my messages, text or calls… like he's abandoned me."

Reaching over placing a hand on her knee Jaden let out a small smile, "Well then, he's not really a true friend if he's acting like that, I mean your such an awesome person why would anyone want to abandon you?" She gave off a shrug, "I don't know, Ask everybody that's always abandoned me. I lost my parents as a kid, my older sister was in a coma for 15 years, and my brother's disappeared twice over, it took me 12 years to get him back and then, last year while he was working at CERN, he just disappeared."

Sirus sat down next to the girl, "I heard about that on the news, there was apparently an explosion at the company and at least 3 of the current workers went missing…. Oh my god that's where your name sounded familiar…. Your brother was one of the missing scientists…" Claudia nodded, she wasn't going to break down right there and then in front of them.

"I've been in and out of many foster homes, each one worse than the other until I broke into the NSA and kidnapped one of their workers just to get my brother back, he then became my sort of guardian and gave me a job. Granted he did lie to me about a few things but he was there to protect me, then he's trained me for this. My other Co-workers was on a mission at the time I was having my match with Crowler but they keep in contact, asking how it's going but not once has my best friend got in contact with me…..Damn you Jinksy!"

She threw her phone across the field standing up, just as she did a buzzing came from her bag, quickly she reached into it and pulled out what looked like an overgrown Ipod to the boy's, Answering it quickly, two familiar faces appeared on the screen.

"Pete! Myke's!" she knelt back to the ground with a smile on her face, "Hey kid, we're just calling to see how your first day of school went? Man that does make me sound like your father." Claudia couldn't help but laugh at Pete's actions, it did kind of make him like her father, "Ew Pete just no, in any case how's it going over there?"

"Good, so how's everything going Claudia?" the female spoke, then she noticed both the boy's looking into the screen, and the chestnut haired one spoke, "Wow! It's like skype! Two way video calling! Just too bad you can't eat it…."

"Um…Claudia who are these?" Spoke her essentially older brother, "Pete, Myka meet my room mates, Jaden and Sirus, boy's these are my Co workers I was telling you about. In any case school kind of went ok…. Um…"

"What do you mean?" Myka spoke, a look of concern was on her face, both boy's could tell these two people cared for Claudia a lot, Sirus spoke up, "A kid in our class was picking on us, and she's having to duel at 8pm tonight" At that instant, Pete looked to his little sister, "Do you want me to come and sort him out? I will hurt him if he hurts you."

Claudia shook her head and smiled, "No thanks, just do me a favour, if you see Steve tell him I've been trying to get in touch. I'll let you know how it goes later, it's getting late here and I've got to prepare for this duel, Wonder girl, batman and robin out!" with that she snapped the Farnsworth shut.

Both boy's raised their eye brows, "I hope I'm not Robin" Was all Sirus spoke as they began getting ready for the duel.

WH WH WH WH

The clock ticked on to 7.50pm, Claudia had driven her car to a secluded place in the woods before they headed forward to the duelling stadium, Lucky she always carried bobby pins in her hair as she had to break a few locks to get into the place.

Sirus had been panicking while Jaden thought they was being sneaky ninja's, once Claudia had used her Ipad to help navigate through the school without being caught, they saw a light on inside the stadium, and stood there on the Stage was Chazz, to the side of the Arena was the same blonde haired girl from that afternoon.

"Well looks like the little slacker actually turned up, well this won't take too long," Claudia took out her modified duel disk and handed her bag to Jaden who placed it over his shoulder, "Trust me Chazz I'm going to knock you so hard into next week you won't even know what hit you."

She took her place in the arena activating her duel disk, and took her deck out of the belt pocket, inserting it into the machine taking up a duelling stance.

Chazz did the same thing and smirked, "Losers first slacker"

Claudia's eye's just stayed as they was, not letting his words get to her, "Let's rock this deck, I summon Zubaba Knight in attack mode and then string it with a face down, your move jack arse." Chazz growled at that and drew his first card, with a smirk he stood back arched, "I start off with X-head cannon in attack mode and then use the spell Mystic space typhoon to get rid of your pathetic face down, now my cannon attack her worthless monster."

A sudden blast and Claudia's monster was sent to the grave, her life points went down by 200 points, but she wasn't fazed at all. "I place three cards face down and end my turn," his grin never left his face, rolling her eyes Claudia drew a card placing it into her hand, then took another card, "I summon Gogogo Ghost in attack points, take down his cannon ghost!" instantly Chazz threw a hand out, "Not so fast Slacker, you forgot that I placed cards on the field, I activate Threatening roar, ending your battle phase before you can even attack!"

Allowing Chazz to have his cocky moment, Claudia looked unfazed but her teeth was slightly gritted together, she was so focused on the boy, that she didn't notice another person walk into the stadium, who stood next to Jaden, "I had a feeling that you all would be here, care to explain what's going on?"

Sirus looked up to see Zane there, "um… well… Chazz tried to put Claudia down in class but, then moved onto me after I tried to get him to back off, but he started on me and that got her riled up and challenged him to a duel after school, but for some reason Chazz changed the match time to now."

Zane stood there, his eye's watching the girl in front of him, it was clear to him what Chazz was trying to do "well I came to tell you that someone's tripped the security alarm, so it's only a matter of time before the teachers get here…"

He looked to the two boy's and Sirus face paled slightly, and looked back to the field hoping that Claudia knew what she was getting herself into, the next words out of her mouth confirmed it.

"I know what you're trying to do Chazz, I've read the school Manual and the fact that duelling after school hours is illegal, which is why I set the security system to go off exactly….3 minutes ago after you activated your duel disk, within that time I will have beaten you and gone from this place." She could see the anger building up in his eyes, he hadn't realised she was that smart. He looked down at his duel disk, and growled, "I strum down another face down card and end my turn, bring it pretty boy"

Chazz drew a card, his nose wrinkled up in anger as his body language changed slightly, "I activate pot of greed, allowing me to draw two more cards and then activate card destruction, we both lose our hands and start with a completely new hand, I chain to that soul release to remove Y-dragon head and Z-metal tank sending them from the graveyard to the banished zone. Which then allows me to activate my other trap card! Return from the different dimension to bring back my monsters to the field!"

His mouth changed into a large smirk, " I then send all three of my monsters from the field to the graveyard to summon my XYZ Dragon to the field!, but it doesn't stop there you slacker! I send one card from my hand to the grave which triggers XYZ's effect to destroy your Ghost and attack you directly!" He stood back and began laughing, "Oh this is rich! The slacker talked tough but look at this, I thought you was going to kick my arse?"

Claudia's life points dropped to only 800 left, Both Jaden and Sirus began getting worried but Zane saw something in the way she stood, she wasn't trembling or worried, it was like he could sense the fire burning within her.

Claudia just drew her next card, and then stood up straight, "Alright pretty boy, this is how you rock someone's world on the stage, I activate my face down trap card call of the haunted to bring back Gogogo Ghost, which also activates Ghosts ability to resurrect Gogogo Golem, now remember Chazz you made me discard my whole hand. I overlay both these two to special summon Utopia to the field! And strum two more face downs on the field, you're move to try bring me down fancy pants," she crossed her arms smirking.

The raven haired boy held a look of fury on his face, drawing his next card, "I summon V-tiger jet to the field, and then activate Monster reborn to bring back W-wing catapult, now my monsters combine your strength's, to form VW-tiger catapult!" with the fury of Claudia's insolence still burning in his veins, "Let me show you how weak your monsters are to mine slacker! Dragon Cannon attack her silly little Utopia burning him to the grave!" at his command, Chazz's dragon cannon attacks Claudia's monster but Claudia's smile just grew, "Now this is why we shouldn't get angry isn't it jelly bean. I activate Utopia's effect! By removing one XYZ material, your attack is blocked."

The raven haired boys face began going slightly red, "I end my battle phase, and activate Dragon cannon's effect to destroy your blasted Utopia, then I send both my monsters to the grave to combine them and special summon my mighty VWXYZ Dragon Catapult Cannon. Now this is where you have no way in beating me Donovan, You're just another weakling that's not even good enough to lick my shoe, Once this is all over I'm going to make sure you will never show your face in this school again. After all Slackers shouldn't be in this school to begin with, You are just one pathetic girl thinking she can just waltz in here and make everyone feel sorry for her. I end my turn with a face down card, make your last pathetic move Donovan!"

Claudia couldn't help but feel a slight anger bubble but she kept her composure drawing her next card, and then looked to Chazz, "I place one monster face down in defence and before I end my turn I strum another 2 face down card and end my turn." She tilted her head smirking slightly,

From the side lines, Zane could feel something about her, she had triggered his duel disk to set off the security system once activated, countered with almost every move, "How…did she know? She's playing like she's faced this deck already?"

He noticed the two males next to him didn't say anything, but had a feeling they knew, turning his attention back to the duel, it was Chazz turn.

"Alright, I activate my monsters special ability, to remove your last pathetic defence from play!" at that moment in time Claudia threw her right arm out, "Not so fast dumb arse! I activate my trap card fiendish chain! Now your monster can't use it's ability or even attack me!" which caused him to grin back at her, "I activate my own trap card 7 tools of the bandit," which made Claudia lean over holding her forehead laughing at him, which pissed him off greatly. "I activate my second face down, Dark bribe, yeah you get a card but it also stops your trap card, so meaning my fiendish chain is still here and your monster is still unable to do anything dumb arse!" Chazz end's his turn his eye's holding deep hatred for the girl, and watched as she drew her card,

"Alright then, let's crank this tune up to the next level! I activate XYZ reborn to bring back Utopia, and place this card into Utopia's soul as a material, then activate Rank-up barian's force to upgrade Utopia into Utopia ray V, And this is where the rock show ends dude, I activate Ray V's effect, meaning your monster's destroyed and you take your monsters attack points as damage"

Chazz life point counter went down by 3000 point's, "And now! Attack directly Utopia!, Sorry guy's but no encore tonight! Your done Chazz it's over!"

The moment Chazz's life points hit zero, his knee's hit the ground, cards dropping to the floor. She looked at his form on the ground, "oh and Chazz, by the way even if you survived that attack I would have still won either way," She showed a magic card she held in her hand, "Acid Rain! But …. How? You use a mixed deck?" she just smirked, "Now that's one secret you are never going to know. Goodbye Chazz!"

She turned around and walked up to her friends, and noticed Zane was there, her eye's widened as she saw him arms crossed but held a soft look to her. "That was a very impressive duel Claudia, especially after knowing the rules on illegal duelling, and knowing about Acid Rain." Claudia smiled to him and placed a hand on the chestnut kid shoulder, "Jaden was the one who gave me Acid Rain, I spent about an hour re-constructing my deck I'm going to register it in the morning but for the moment, we have at least 3 minutes to get out of here before the teachers show up…." Getting her IPad out of her back which Jaden still held, "Lets get out of here, I'll give you a lift back to the dorms Zane." With that the group of 4 left the Stadium, just before Professor Crowler and the head master entered, only to see Chazz on the floor with a distraught look on his face.

WH WH WH WH WH WH

15 minutes later after reaching the Slifer dorms, Claudia sat on Jaden's bed laughing slightly, "Well, that couldn't have gone any better!" both boy's watched her, they had dropped Zane off back at the Obelisk blue dorms 5 minutes earlier and it had been a quite right, she looked up slightly to see both of them looking at her.

"What?" both of them suddenly jumped on top of her hugging her tightly, "You was so AWESOME! Claud! You so have to duel me some time!" Sirus had fake crocodile tears running down her face, "thank you thank you thank you! Now he will have to leave me alone!" Claudia just squirmed between them, "Your welcome…hey hey don't touch there! Get off me! RAPE! RAPE!" she couldn't supress a laughter and just burst into a fit of them, which both Jaden and Sirus joined in until there was no more energy left and they all fell asleep like that cuddled up on the bed.
