Crowler was walking to Sheppard's office, still grumbling about the whole Titan situation. 'What does that fat ass, bushy browed man want? And where the hell is Titan?!' Crowler growls as he sighs and steps into the office, he puts a large false smile on his face. "What do you need from me sir?"
"Well Crowler; Pegasus and Seto have released a new type of summoning system." This actually catches Crowler's attention more as he leans forward. "Unfortunately we have not been sent any of the new cards." At this Crowler sneers softly, while he was hoping to give the Obelisks a boost with the new cards.
"Well then why did you call me sir?"
"We have however been given information and how to identify these cards." Crowler nods at this as he has one last question.
"How many decks are there with this new summoning condition?"
"Three, and all of them must be won in tournaments off in the mainland." Crowler nods and starts walking off before he freezes.
"Uhm sir please don't forget to send the information." Sheppard chuckles softly as he waves Crowler off.
Meanwhile, back in the meadow where everyone found out about their past lives, Jaden and Alexis are talking. Well talking isn't the right word, "training in the powers of shadows" is the better phrasing.
"Okay, the next thing we need to work on is your stamina." Jaden states as he looks over Alexis.
"What do you mean by that?" Alexis questions with a sly grin, which Jaden misses as he walks to one of the trees.
"To be able to keep a duel spirit in our world, you need to have enough energy to keep them here." Jaden closes his eyes as the dark mist returns. Wildheart appears behind him and slashes the tree in half.
"Wow." Jaden doesn't answer after a fashion as his breath deepens. Wildheart vanishes as he looks back as Alexis with a few beads of sweat drop from his face.
"It takes energy to do this kind of stuff." Jaden stands back and sighs softly, going back to Alexis. "So we are going to go on a 5 mile run." Alexis just looks at Jaden in shock as he stretches slightly. "I have everything all set for the run, so all you gotta do right now is dress into something comfortable for running and meet me back here." Alexis grumbles before standing up.
"If this can get me stronger." She mutters to herself as she walks off.
Jaden laughs softly as he then frowns slightly. "Come on out, I know you are there!" Syrus steps out as he gulps at Jaden's tone, the latter who has his gaze soften. "Now why were you hiding there?"
"W-well I-I…" Syrus stammers before he gulps harshly. "I want to d-duel you." Jaden just blinks at this and then smiles softly.
"Sure." Jaden states as he goes to his bag and grabs his duel disk, getting into duel position. Syrus does the same, a look of worry on his face.
Truesdale: 4000
Yuki: 4000
"Y-you can go first bro." Jaden nods at this and draws his card.
"I summon Elemental Hero Avian and set one card to end my turn."
[Elemental Hero Avian Type:Warrior/ Attribute: Wind
ATK: 1000
DEF: 1000]
Syrus starts his turn, his hands shaking like mad. "Sy, are you ok? You look like you are about to pass out." Syrus doesn't answer as he summons his Patroid.
[Patroid Type: Machine/Attribute: Earth
ATK: 1200
Def: 1200]
"Patroid… attack Avian." The monster rushes forward, its tire pulled back to strike Avian.
"Negate Attack! With that I end your battle phase." Jaden frowns as he thinks on Patroid's ability to see the face down card.
"T-turn end." Jaden draws his next card.
"Are you sure about this Sy?" Jaden looks at him concerned as Syrus just freezes up. Syrus nods at Jaden as he manages to see a small fire starting to burn in them softly. Jaden smiles as he summons Sparkman.
[Elemental Hero Sparkman Attribute: Light/ Type: Warrior
ATK: 1600
DEF: 1400]
"Now Sparkman destroy Patroid!" He leaps forward, lightning sparking from his hands. He shocks Patroid, destroying it.
Truesdale: 3600
"Avian go!" Avian flies up and strikes Syrus, making him cringe slightly.
Truesdale: 2600
"Turn end." Syrus draws Pot of Greed and activates it. The first card he draws is Polymerization. Syrus freezes with the next card as it reveals Power Bond. Syrus bites his bottom lip, which makes Jaden's eyes narrow.
"I play Polymerization to fuse my Gyroid and Steamroid to summon Steam Gyroid!"
[Steam Gyroid Type: Machine/Attribute: Earth
ATK: 2200
DEF: 1600]
"Now Steam Gyroid, destroy Avian!" Steam Gyroid's fans start spinning as he flies at Avian, before destroying him.
Yuki: 2800
"Turn end." Jaden draws his card and activates Dark Fusion summoning Lightning Golem with Sparkman on the field and Clayman in his hand.
[Evil Hero Lightning Golem Type: Fiend/ Attribute: Light
ATK: 2400
DEF: 1500]
"Now I summon Burstinatrix in attack mode. Sorry Sy this duel is over."
[Elemental Hero Burstinatrix Type: Warrior/Attribute: Fire
ATK: 1200
DEF: 800]
"I use Lightning Golem's special ability, to destroy Steam Gyroid!" Black lightning flies out of Lightning Golem's hand and shocks Steam Gyroid, destroying it. "Now attack both of you!" Both of the monsters soar up, fire and lightning streaking at Syrus.
Truesdale: 0000
"So what was that card you drew?" Jaden states as he walks over to Syrus.
"I-it was Power Bond." He hands the card to Jaden, who looks over it.
"With this you could have gotten closer to beating me you know." Jaden looks at Syrus confused as he hands his card back.
Syrus shakes softly as he starts talking about one duel that he was going to use Power Bond in. His brother interrupted the duel and bribed the bully to stop the duel. Jaden frowns as Alexis returns in some shorts and a loose shirt.
"Oh hey Syrus what are you doing here?"
"I-I couldn't make up my mind if I should join you guys' training." Syrus breathes deeply before continuing. "S-so I was hoping I-I could get th-the courage for that, through th-this duel, b-but I just can't." Syrus tears up before running away.
"Sy!" Jaden tries to catch up before coming to a stop, a mix of anger and understanding on his face. "Alexis you're friends with Zane right?"
"Yeah… you aren't going to do anything stupid are you?"
"No, I just want to duel him. Training is cancelled for now, I have a duel that needs to get done." Alexis looks at Jaden shocked as she pulls out her PDF. She quickly types it down and looks at Jaden.
"Where do you wanna duel him?"
"Anywhere is fine." Jaden looks off into the distance, a gleam in his eyes.
A few hours later, we see the docks at the lighthouse, Zane standing near the stares as he looks at the two people approaching him. One is Alexis Rhodes, the other is Jaden Yuki, the bright and shining star in his eyes. Zane's eyes drift up, and he gets a bit of surprise, as he sees Syrus just staring down at him. He sighs and keeps himself to focusing on his target.
"So why do you want to duel me Jaden?" Zane states as Jaden's eyes turn to a slight glare.
"Two main reasons." Jaden holds up one finger. "One, you are the best duelist on this island, even taking in account the teachers, from what I have seen and heard." Alexis and Syrus's eyes widen at Jaden's first reason. "And the second, I am going to keep to myself until after the duel." And cue anime fall from Syrus.
Zane nods his head at this as he activates his duel disk. "Let's go then."
"Get your game on!" Jaden calls out.
Yuki: 4000
Truesdale: 4000
"I'll go first." Jaden calls out as he looks over his hand. "I summon Elemental Hero Avian in attack mode and set a card face down to end my turn."
[Elemental Hero Avian Type:Warrior/ Attribute: Wind
ATK: 1000
DEF: 1000]
"My turn then." Zane states as he draws his first card. "Since you have a monster and I don't I can summon Cyber Dragon in attack mode!"
[Cyber Dragon Type: Machine/ Attribute Light
ATK: 2100
DEF: 1600]
"I was expecting something better though. Mystical Space Typhoon to destroy your face down and my dragon attacks." The winds pick up blowing the card away, revealing Evil Double as Cyber dragon blasts through Avian.
[Evil Double (Chapter 4)]
Yuki: 3900
Zane chuckles softly as he sees the double disappear in a puff of smoke, his dragon's lazer punching a hole into the being's chest.
"Good play, I will admit that."
"Yep, you never know if your opponent has a card that destroys face downs, with that I secure myself." Zane looks over the field as he activates Different Dimension Capsule. "With this, in two turns, I get the card back." Zane states as he passes his turn to Jaden.
"My move, I draw." Jaden draws his next card and his eyes fold slightly. "I set a card facedown, and activate Dark Fusion, to summon my Evil Hero Lightning Golem in attack mode." Said monster raises from the dark vortex as he sets down, seeming to glare at Zane.
[Evil Hero Lightning Golem Type: Fiend/ Attribute: Light
ATK: 2400
DEF: 1500]
"I then follow up by summoning my Evil Hero Infernal Gainer in attack mode!" the monster steps forth as both lightning and flame spirals around him.
[Evil Hero Infernal Gainer Type: Fiend/ Attribute: Earth
ATK: 1600
DEF: 0]
"I activate Gainer's ability, with it I banish him so that my Golem can attack twice." The monster shines before its energy flows to Lightning Golem. "Then with Golem's ability, I destroy your Cyber Dragon!" The earlier monster raises his hand, shooting black lightning to Cyber Dragon, destroying it. "Go Lighting Golem, end this duel! Hell's Lighting!" Lightning raises his hands shooting two black flows of lightning at Zane.
"I activate the card Cyber Field Barrier!" Zane activates the spell card and discards his Cyber Barrier Dragon. "With this spell card, I can cut your damage down to half."
"Meaning you only take 2400 damage"
[Cyber Field Barrier
Discard one Cyber Barrier Dragon from your hand negate half the damage from all attacks for the rest of the turn.]
The barrier dragon appears as the lightning courses through it, causing two charges to hit Zane, but not as strong as they were.
Truesdale: 1600
"That was a good play." Jaden comments as he looks out the corner of his eye to Syrus, who is still hiding on the cliff. Jaden sets a card face down and passes his turn.
"You are friends with my brother right? I take it that has something to do with all this?" Jaden smirks at this as he once agains summons his Cyber Dragon, along with using monster reborn to bring his other Cyber Dragon back to life in attack mode.
[Cyber Dragon Type: Machine/ Attribute Light
ATK: 2100
DEF: 1600]
"In a way it is." Jaden responds as he eyes the two dragons.
Zane nods his head absently as he activates polymerization. "Now my two Cyber Dragons fuse to become Cyber Twin Dragon!"
[Cyber Twin Dragon Type: Machine/ Attribute: Light
ATK: 2800
DEF: 2100]
"My monster can attack twice per battle phase, so first Cyber Twin, destroy his Lightning Golem!" One of the head's mouths light up, a glowing green light, as it shoots the Golem, piercing its body and crashing into Jaden.
Yuki: 3500
"Now the second attack!" The second head does the same as the first as Jaden's eyes narrow. The attack flies out, as Jaden activates his card.
"I play Evil Defence! With it I can summon my Evil Hero Defender!"
[Evil Defence (See Ch. 5)]
[Evil Hero Defender Type: Fiend/ Attribute: Earth
This card cannot be destroyed once per turn.
ATK: 200
DEF: 2800]
The defender appears and blocks the attack as he sits in defense mode. Jaden gulps as he stares at Zane. "You are definitely as strong as everyone says."
Zane cocks a smirk on his face as he ends his turn. Jaden draws and frowns. Evil Mirror, a card that he can only use if he has no other options. He then looks over his hand and finds nothing else he can win with. "Well I guess this is the end of the duel." Jaden throws two cards face down as he looks at Zane.
"My turn then and since it has been two turns since I played Different Dimension Capsule, I now regain my card." He states as the capsule shatters, leaving a card that vanishes. "Now I activate De-Fusion, with this I seperate my Twin Dragon." The dragon glows before re emerging as the two Cyber Dragons. "But they won't stick around for long."
Up with Syrus, he gulps slightly as Zane looks at Jaden with a slight smirk. "He is about to summon it." Syrus is visibly shaking as Zane plays his Power Bond.
"I fuse the two Dragons on the field, with the one in my hand to summon my Cyber END Dragon!" the third dragon appears as they glow white hot as their mechanics merge together, revealing the three headed behemoth of a monster.
[Cyber END Dragon Type: Machine/ Attribute: Light
ATK: 4000
DEF: 2800]
"Thanks to Power Bond's effect, my Dragon's attack power is doubled."
[ATK: 4000 → 8000]
"Woah. So this is the infamous Dragon." Jaden states with a grim smile on his face as he takes a small step back. "That combo is dangerous."
"Thanks, and if this really does have anything to do with my brother, it must be because of Power Bond. He is a good duelist." Zane states with a small chuckle, Syrus on the other hand was dumbfounded. "The only thing is he doesn't know when to play his cards." Jaden nods absentmindedly as END's mouths start to light up. "This duel is over though. Go Super Strident Blaze!"
The three blasts go out and collide with Evil Hero Defender, sending a shockwave that rebounds and hits Jaden directly.
Yuki: 0000
"Do you honestly think I would let this duel end with my defeat?!" Jaden calls out as the other three just look at him confused. "I activate my Evil Mirror!" His facedown card rises revealing a laser, hitting a mirror, shattering it, but also rebounding to the user. "With this card you take as much damage as I do from this round. And since it was 5200 points of damage, this duel is a tie!"
[Evil Mirror
Activate this card only when you take battle damage. Your opponent takes as much damage as you receive from their monster's attack this turn.]
The mirror appears behind Defender, as the blast can still be seen on it. Zane starts to chuckle as the blast gets sent out, colliding with Zane.
Truesdale: 0000
"Good job, you technically get to keep up your winning streak." Zane states as he walks up to Jaden, his hand out slightly. Jaden takes his hand and shakes it, a massive dumb grin on his face. "Now the other reason I think I can guess on."
"Yeah, Syrus needs a push to get more confidence, and maybe hearing his brother say he is a good duelist might do it." Jaden looks up at where Syrus is hiding. "You can come on out dude." Syrus gulps and steps out as Zane sighs softly.
"H-hey bro."
"So I take it he told you the story about the bully?" Zane states as he looks at Jaden, the latter who nods his head slightly. "I see then. Syrus was trying to be strong for a few friends of his, whose cards were stolen." Zane clarifies as he looks at Jaden directly. "But he would have lost thanks to Power Bonds negative effect. I had to step in, or well…" Zane trails off to let Jaden get what he was saying.
"Ok I get it." Jaden nods at this as he smirks slightly. "So you are a nicer guy than I thought?" Zane rolls his eyes at this before he starts walking off. "So Sy, do you have an answer for me?" Jaden states as he turns to his best friend.
Syrus thinks it over for a few seconds before smiling slightly. "I think I am going to get stronger on my own." He gives Jaden a strong look as he shivers slightly. "I want to get stronger without any help." Jaden smiles widely at this as he nods his head.
"As I said, it's on you to decide. Now do you wanna go and work on your deck?" Jaden states with a large smile.
"Sure." Syrus starts jogging to the dorm as Jaden passes Alexis, and gives her a sheepish grin.
"Sorry Lex, training's cancelled."
"It's fine, go with your friend." She chuckles as Jaden smiles widely and catches up with Syrus. Pulling out her PDA, and looking at a few messages before she walks off, a new spring in her step.
Jaden is preparing to sleep in Crowler's class as he steps up to his little podium, giving a glare at Jaden and quite a few of the other Slifers. "Ok listen up. We have new information on a new summoning style." Jaden perks up at this as everyone shuffles in excitement. "Well it seems that got your attention all you slackers."
Jaden glares at Crowler softly as he continues. "This summoning method includes two new card typings, the Synchros and the Tuners." Crowler states as he taps on his computer, pulling up Junk Synchron, and Junk Warrior. "To be able to summon the Synchro monsters, you must have at least one Tuner monster, and one non tuner monster." Crowler taps on his computer once more to bring up a duel already in progress, at least a simulation duel. "Unlike Fusion summoning, Synchro summoning needs exact levels. So say you want to create Junk Warrior." Crowler brings Junk Warrior's card next to the screen. "Since he is a level 5 monster, you need to include Junk Synchron who is a level 3, and either a single level 2 monster, or 2 level 1 monsters."
The monsters appear on the board, before sending the two monsters to the graveyard and pulling out Junk Warrior. "Though in some instances there needs to be a specific tuner or more than one." He states as Turbo Synchron is summoned then with a few cards, to summon Turbo Warrior.
"So Professor Crowler! Are we going to get some of these cards?" Chazz calls out, thinking of how he could use this as a chance to beat Jaden.
Dejectedly, however, Crowler sighs and shakes his head since he had similar thoughts to Chazz without knowing it. "Unfortunately there are only three decks that utilize this summoning style. More cards are being produced, but they will be distributed when the previous three decks get fully tested out."
"So the three decks what and where are they?" Jaden speaks up, a strange fire in his eyes.
"Well Slacker," Crowler glares at Jaden slightly. "The decks can only be won by tournaments back on the mainland. The three archetypes that these decks follow are the machine Junk monsters." Junk Warrior appears on the screen. "The Red Dragon Archfiend along with the Dark Resonators." He pulls up said cards next to Junk Warrior. "And finally the zombie Shiranui monsters." He pulls up Shiranui Shogunsaga onto the screen.
"Well it will be interesting to duel any of them." Jaden chuckles to himself as he looks out the window.
AND CUT! Hey everyone! To think we are one more update period away from the big 1-0. So there is my new story that I need to write and upload, then I am going to update Power of Infinity. So how do you guys like the story? Sorry for the short duel with Syrus, and kinda with Zane.
