"Is that all it takes? A defeat from Misawa?"
Chazz Princeton froze before he turned around to see the witch standing there with an annoyingly smug look on her face. At least that's how he saw it. Wilona was very serious at that moment.
"Buzz off to your peanut gallery. What are you even doing here?" Chazz realized something else. "And what are you wearing?" He eyed the girl wearing a bright orange construction vest over large suspenders.
"Someone's gotta clean the docks. It just so happens to be my shift." The girl rolled her eyes and removed her orange helmet. "How is it that you wanted Yuki to win for a rematch, but here you are choosing to leave?"
"I'm not leaving. I'm definitely coming back! I hated my loss against Bastion, but there's no way I can get stronger here." He had enough of this conversation, Chazz got up to the boat.
"Are you sure it has nothing to do with the fact you're technically Ra Yellow now despite that blue blazer?"
Chazz walked faster and told the driver to hit the engine.
[Tag Force: Heroes and Villains]
Wilona huffed as she watched Chazz's boat leave the docks. "The ego on that one!"
The green-haired girl turned to her right as Honest appeared. He bowed slightly before saying, "Wilona, I received a message from WInged Kuriboh. He wishes us to come over to one part of the isle."
Wilona raised a brow. "How did you two send a message?"
"It is a little hard to explain, but we are currently the only two spirits on the isle. It's easy for us to sense each other with our presence."
Wilona still didn't understand. However, her brain realized something else entirely. "Wait, if that furball called you, does that mean Yuki got himself into trouble again? He's supposed to be in class right now!"
[Tag Force: Heroes and Villains]
"I don't even bloody know what I'm currently looking at." Not many people could pull off a deadpan look with a glare, but Wilona was making it work like a natural.
"Wilona!?" Syrus, Alexis, Mindy, and some government looking people looked over to the newcomer. "What are you doing here!?" The teal-haired Slifer finished.
"Apparently, I'm watching a monkey duel with another monkey wearing a ridiculous helmet."
Jaden blinked and turned around. "Hey! I know it's hard to see, but that's Jasmine behind the monkey, Wilona, not another monkey! Plus, I'm the one dueling!" Leave it to Yuki to not understand insults thrown his way.
The green-haired girl inhaled deeply. "I know I'm going to regret this. I also know I won't have the patience for the answer, but can someone please explain this maddening circumstance before me!?" Her voice started soft, but by the end, she was screaming her lungs out.
Ghost cards? Missing people? The fact they maybe went to hell? Wilona could deal with that to the best of her abilities.
However, the sheer stupidity of Jaden dueling a lab monkey—specifically trained to duel— was too much for the girl to handle.
"Nope! Nope! NO!" Wilona interrupted the scientist trying to explain. "I'm not dealing with this today! Goodbye! I'm seeing you all tomorrow!" With that, the purple-eyed girl started to walk away.
"W-Wait!" Jasmine cried out from the tree hanging from the cliff. "Don't go! I'm in trouble here!"
Wilona didn't stop walking. "I mean no personal ill will, but frankly, I don't give a damn right now!"
"I'll join your club if you stay and help!"
Wilona froze and turned back to Jasmine. "What?"
"I-I'll join your club! I heard Syrus mention something about you needing club members a while ago! I'll join, but help me out of here!"
Wilona was surprised, but not because Jasmine offered to be in her club. She noticed the fact she heard it from Syrus and not a certain someone else.
"Oh wait, you have a club?!" Mindy seemed to look over to Wilona with excitement despite the fact her friend was dangling over a cliff. "What kind of club is it?!"
Instead of answering, Wilona turned over to the only blonde around.
"Explain." She didn't actually say a word, her glare spoke for her. (It said more than one word though.)
"S-Sorry, I kinda," Alexis briefly looked around as if she could find something to point Wilona's wrath elsewhere. "Didn't get the chance to ask?"
Wilona sighed deeply and folded her arms. "I probably should have left with Princeton."
"Wait, Wilona, you know where Chazz is?"
Wilona really should have considered going with him.
[Tag Force: Heroes and Villians.]
After an interesting—(Wilona hated the fact there was a secret lab on this blasted island dedicated to dueling monkies, and that very thought haunted and annoyed her to no end)—morning, and after Wilona got three—(Alexis finally decided to join seeing as all her friends were in the club while she wasn't)—new members, everyone went to a school assembly.
"So, does anyone know what this is all about?" Jaden asked around his group of friends.
For a change of pace, Chumley was the one who answered. "Before Winter Break, Duel Academy hosts a Miss Duel Academy pageant." All the freshmen looked over to him. "It's pretty boring, though. The School President always wins it."
"Wait, the Duel Academy President?" Syrus looked to Chumley. "As in that girl who gave the speech during the Promotion Exams?"
Chumley nodded. "She really likes the attention."
"It kinda sounds vain to me." Alexis folded her arms. "Why is the school president so absorbed over something as shallow as looking pretty?"
"Aww! Alexis, don't say that! You're super gorgeous!" Mindy said from the side. "Besides! I totally voted for you in the tally!"
Alexis blinked and turned to her dark-haired friend. "Wait-what?"
At that point, everyone's attention turned to the main stage. "Hello, everybody!" A Student Host cried out animatedly. "Sorry for the delay! I have the results for this year's Miss Duel Academy!" Without wasting time, the host opened the envelope in his hands. "And this year's Miss Duel Academy is," He read the paper, but then his eyes widened behind his glasses, then he gaped in shock. "My goodness! We are witnessing history in the making folks! For the first time in Duel Academy history, we have a tie!"
"What!?" From behind the curtain, Seika Kohinata stormed out with an annoyed look on her face. "I had to skip Miss Duel Academy last year because of my duties as President! I even had this acceptance speech ready and finally forced Zane to play the trombone while I gave it!"
At that moment, Zane Truesdale, the pride of Duel Academy, walked out from behind the curtain, looking more disinterested as ever, but carrying a trombone on his way out.
"I may not be the sharpest crayon in the tool shed," Jaden started and pointed a finger up. "But is the Student Body President supposed to have that much command?" No one could really give him an answer as they were all too enthralled with the show before them.
The Student Body President looked miffed as she stomped her foot. "Dang it! Who did I tie with!?"
The host seemed intimidated. "How'd you know you're one of the win—"
"Sam, I'm asking a question." Seika glared at the host, making him shiver and fix his colorful bowtie.
"I-It's Alexis Rhodes!" The host cried out before throwing his hand out. "Come on, everybody! Let's welcome our new candidate! Please, I'm scared!" The host tried to go back to his animated self, but he practically begged Alexis to come up by the end.
"What!?" Alexis screamed out before the spotlight shined down on her. "I'm tied!? I didn't even register!"
"I know! That's why I did it for you! Surprise!" Mindy seemed like a sweet girl. Unfortunately, the way she genuinely thought Alexis would be happy about this made others realize the black-haired girl could be somewhat of a ditz.
Alexis knew this more than anyone and couldn't find herself to be truly mad at her friend. "B-But!? Who!?" She stammered sounds that weren't even words for a few seconds before she collected her mind. "Who even voted for me!?"
Alexis got her answer when nearly everyone she knew and half the people in the auditorium raised their hands.
Even with one hand up, Wilona used her other hand to hold her chin. "That does explain why someone gave me a tally with all those female names in it. I found your name first and gave it back to the students."
Alexis didn't know or want to feel what betrayal felt like, but she started to have a good idea of it. To her surprise, three people didn't raise their hands.
"We voted for Seika. We didn't see your name in our tallies." Gloria spoke for her and Grace.
But then, that just left one other person.
"We had to vote?" Jaden raised his brow.
"Ahh!" Everyone looked back to the host, who finished talking with another student. "It appears there was one student who didn't vote!"
The music club turned to the Slifer Red Ace. Before the spotlight fell on Jaden, they all knew it was him.
"This is going to be a long day." Wilona sighed into her hand as several students came in to bring Jaden and Alexis up the stage.
Seika looked over to the two students and, for the briefest of seconds, gave a coy smirk before she replaced it with a frown. "So, you're the plucky upstart looking to take the title of Miss Duel Academy, huh?"
"I don't want it!" Alexis cried out.
"Ah! A clever ploy! You're using reverse psychology to take it, aren't you!?"
The blonde Obelisk Blue wondered why Jaden gasped. "Whoa!? Really Alexis?! You're as smart as Wilona when it comes to this kind of stuff!"
Alexis started to understand Wilona's feelings more than she ever could at that moment. "No, I am not! Jaden, vote for Seika and get it over with!"
"Now, hold on a moment!" Seika started. "You can't just tell someone to vote for someone else!"
"POT CALLING KETTLE BLACK!" Several screams came from behind the curtain.
Seika tossed her hand at that and continued. "Ms. Duel Academy is a sacred past time, and I won't win like that!"
Zane was about to leave the auditorium until he froze in his tracks. He sighed and turned around. "She planned this, didn't she?"
Seika pointed over to Jaden. "Since you were the one who didn't vote, I challenge you to a duel! If I win, I get the vote, but if you win, your vote goes to your friend!"
For the first time in a while, Jaden looked he had just met someone who spoke his language after a decade of hearing gibberish. "I don't know much about what's going on, but I never back down from a duel! You're on!"
"Jaden, no!" Alexis stepped in between him and Seika. "It's bad enough that I'm in this stupid pageant! I don't want someone else to win my victories for me, even if I don't want this one!" Alexis turned to Seika and motioned to herself. "I will duel you."
"Okay, accepted!" Seika shouted before raising her hand and waving over to Zane. "Vice President, go and reserve a Duel Auditorium!"
Alexis and Jaden looked over to Zane. The usually stoic and strong Cyber Dragon duelist sighed in defeat and had a look on his face that screamed, 'I'm sorry for all this.'
Seika turned to the two freshmen with a smile. "Welp! I'll see you on the field! Toodle loo!"
...
"Alexis, what just happened?" Jaden asked.
"I," Alexis tried to find any words to describe what just happened. She was as lost as Jaden was. "Have no idea."
[Tag Force: Heroes and Villains]
"It's already this full?!" Syrus cried out as he, and the rest of the Music Club went to the auditorium.
"Wow, it's more than when Jaden and Syrus had their expulsion duel." Gloria looked around.
"I don't think there's a seat left for all of us," Bastion added in before he looked up. "Hey, why not stand there?"
They saw Bastion point over to Zane standing on the rails above the stands. Seeing how it was the only place left they could watch the duel, The Music Club went over to the Ace of the School.
"I'm sorry for whatever Seika dragged you into." They weren't expecting Zane to show more character in that one moment than the past school year so far.
"I don't even know what happened. Zane, what's going on?" Jaden spoke up.
"Seika tends to do things in a very over-the-top manner. As School Body President of Duel Academy, she has a lot more power than most people should have. While she does her job well, she also lets it get to her head more often than not." You could feel Zane aging faster the more he talked about having to deal with his friend. "I will admit she can be very manipulative to get what she wants."
Everyone else turned to Wilona.
"What?" The green-haired girl asked.
"Still," Zane continued speaking, "It has been a while since I've seen Seika duel. I'm curious about this new deck she said she mastered over summer."
The club, especially Syrus, was surprised to see a small smile on Zane's face.
"Whoa!" Jaden cried out. "If you have that kind of reaction to her, I bet she's a great duelist! Darn, I can't believe I lost my chance to duel her!"
"May I ask how skilled she is then?" Bastion spoke again. "I've never heard much about the President's dueling prowess."
"She's right under me as the second-best duelist in the school. She doesn't have much time now, but before she was a constant competitor and one of my rivals for best duelist in Duel Academy."
"You mean she's in the same league as you!? Man, I really wish I dueled her now!" Jaden looked down as the two girls took to the field.
Down below, Seika waited for Alexis to climb the field. "So, you ready?"
"I need to ask something first!" The blonde freshman stated before pointing. "Why are you so obsessed over Miss Duel Academy? I realized you didn't seem upset as you pretended to be when you heard about a tie!"
Seika still kept a smile on her face. "Hmm, how about this? if you win, I'll tell you what the method to my madness is, deal?"
Alexis didn't respond, but she did nod. At that, the two girls primed their duel disks.
"DUEL!"
Seika: 4000
Alexis: 4000
Turn 1.
"I go first!" Seika declared as she drew her card. "I end my turn!"
Turn 2: Alexis. Cards: 5.
"Wait-what!?" Alexis, and understandably everyone else, except Zane, screamed in confusion. "Y-You just ended your turn! You didn't even set down a spell or trap card!"
"I know." Seika folded her arms. How could she be so calm when she practically did nothing to protect herself?! "So, little sister, what's your next move going to be?"
Alexis' eyes narrowed after that comment while the Slifer Reds all shared a glance at each other. Zane silently cursed at himself as he realized the true meaning for this duel.
Alexis drew her card and looked at her starting hand. "I play Pot of Greed!" Alexis didn't hesitate to get two more cards from her deck. "Next, I play Machine Angel Ritual! I give up two monsters to summon Cyber Angel Izana!"
Cyber Angel Izana
[Type: Ritual/Effect Monster/Sub-Type: Fairy/Attribute: LIGHT/Level: 8/ATK: 2500/DEF: 2600]
One of Alexis' best monsters appeared on the field on the first turn.
"I'm not done! I follow it up with Machine Angel Absolute Ritual! I shuffle from my grave the same two monsters I used so I can special summon another ritual monster! Come out, Cyber Angel Dakini!"
Besides Izana, another monster with many arms and weapons appeared. Yet this one looked more battle-hardened compared to Izana's divine presence.
Cyber Angel Dakini
[Type: Ritual/Effect Monster/Sub-Type: Fairy/Attribute: LIGHT/Level: 8/ATK: 2700/DEF: 2400]
"Two ritual monsters on her first turn!?" Syrus screamed. "That's amazing!" It took a second, but Syrus realized only he, Jasmine, Mindy, and Chumley, seemed impressed by that move.
Wilona continued to stare at the field. "She fell for the bait, didn't she?"
"Yep."
"I concur."
"Totally."
"Alexis lost her cool."
Gloria, Bastion, Grace, and even Jaden answered Wilona in succession.
"I play the Spell Card, Divine Presence!" Alexis shouted. "If I have a Cyber Angel Ritual Monster on the field, I can prevent trap and spell cards from being activated and set this turn!"
"I must admit, that combo would cripple practically all my decks if I don't lose that turn." Bastion spoke out.
"There's no way she can win now!" Chumley shouted out loud.
Alexis pointed. "Izana, Dakini, attack!"
The two monsters rushed for Seika. However, Seika took a card out from her hand.
"When I have no monsters on the field, I discard Shinobird Robin from my hand to negate one attack and end the battle phase!" Seika discarded her card. As soon as she did, a powerful barrier stopped both Ritual monsters.
"She had a monster card that could stop both of Alexis' monsters?!" Jaden cried out in shock.
Alexis hated the fact her attack didn't go through. "I end my turn!"
Turn 3: Seika. Cards: 5
Seika drew her card. Back above her stands, Zane's eye narrowed as he spotted the slightest twitch of her lips on the dark-haired girl's face.
"Hey, I know it was fast, but what was the President's archetype? I heard 'bird' in the name of that card that negated Alexis' attack." Syrus looked to Zane.
"Shinobirds," Zane kept his eye on the duel as Seika looked to her hand. "It's a new archetype based on Spirit Monsters."
"Spirit monsters!?" Bastion cried out in shock while he and the Tyler Sisters looked at Zane in disbelief. "But spirit monsters must return to the hand after they are normal summoned! They've very hard to play around for any duelist if your own monsters leave the field every time you summon them!"
Zane focused on the duel. "All decks have advantages and disadvantages, from what I heard, Reika likes the playstyle."
Back down below, Reika started to move again. "I play the spell card, Shinobird's Calling!"
Alexis blinked. "Is that a," She wasn't fast enough as Reika continued.
"I also discard two level-4 monsters to Ritual Summon!" She threw a card up in the air as the light started to blind the arena.
"She also uses Ritual Monsters!?" Jasmine screamed out while everyone shielded their eyes from the light.
As the light faded, everyone could see the new monster on the field. Or at least, 'monster' was a very loose word to describe the being on the field. He was a handsome man in Chinese/Peacock-themed get up and elaborate blade.
The girls in the crowd could only stare at the almost otherworldly handsomeness of this warrior king.
"Meet Shinobaron Peacock!"
Shinobaron Peacock
[Type: Ritual/Spirit/Effect Monster/Sub-Type: Winged Beast/Attribute: WIND/Level: 8/ATK: 3000/DEF: 2500]
Alexis gritted her teeth as she saw the Ritual Monster was stronger than her monsters. If Reika had summoned this ritual monster before, Alexis could have used Izana and Dakini's ability to destroy her field. But they couldn't activate because Reika's field was completely empty on Alexis' turn.
"Now, I gotta say!" Reika pointed a hand up. "Shinobaron is still a spirit monster. That means, by the end of my turn, he'll return to my hand."
Grace leaned forward to the rail. "Why would she use a ritual monster that only stays on the field for one turn!?"
"But boy, does he have some amazing abilities for this trade-off!" Reika answered a question many had. "For the first part, I'm allowed to special summon a Level 4 Spirit Monster from my hand and ignore it's summoning conditions!" Seika took another card from her hand. "I summon Amano-Iwato!"
Everyone felt the ground shake. Behind Reika, an actual mountain appeared behind the Class President.
"She summoned a cliff!?" Jaden cried out with his usual tact. Though, this time, it was hard to refute him.
Amano-Iwato
[Type: Spirit/Effect Monster/Sub-Type: Rock/Attribute: EARTH/Level: 4/ATK: 1900/DEF: 1200]
Reika threw her hand up in the air. "Amano-Iwato has a powerful passive ability! As long as he's face-up, he can negate the effects of all monsters except Spirit Monsters!"
The crowd gasped at that reaction.
"There's more. Usually, Amano-Iwato returns to the hand after being normal summoned. Its print describes that it cannot be special summoned, but Shinobaron bypasses that stipulation." Zane simplified it further. "Amano-Iwato no longer needs to return to the hand."
"So basically, as long as that card is up, no monsters other than Reika's can activate effects!? There's gotta be something against that!" Chumley cried out.
"Chumley, we just described spirit monsters having a powerful drawback, but the School President shows us that it's rather easy for her to circumnavigate." Bastion spoke up.
Seika's eyes narrowed. "Next, I activate Shinobaron's other ability when summoned! I can return up to three monsters on my opponent's field back to their hand!"
"What did you say!?" Alexis gawked in disbelief as did the rest of the school.
Shinobaron unsheathed his blade, and with the speed of a blink, fired a sword beam that hit both of Alexis' monsters. The two Cyber Angels turned to light before they turned back to cards and flew back to Alexis' hands.
Inwardly, Alexis cursed the fact her field was now completely empty.
"So, I survived your attempt at a One-Round-Knock-Out," Alexis looked back to the School President whose aura changed completely. She no longer gave a whimsical and chaotic vibe, but this commanding, oppressive presence that Zane displayed at his best. "It's only fair to return the favor."
She didn't say that as the President of the Student Body.
She spoke as the Queen of Duel Academy.
"Shinobaron Peacock! Amano-Iwato! Attack Directly!" The two spirits monsters glowed with a light that Alexis could only shield herself with her hands. As the light faded, Alexis found herself kneeling on the floor.
Seika: 4000 (Winner)
Alexis: 4000→ 0
Silence filled the stadium as everyone watched how the duel ended so abruptly.
"That was amazing!" One student cried out. It was like a domino effect as more people started cheering until the whole arena was in applause. The crowd seemed impressed and cheered at the dueling skill of their school president.
As the monsters faded, Reika walked up to Alexis with an open hand.
"You really wanna know why I like Ms. Duel Academy?"
Alexis took her hand and shook it. "Why do you like it so much? You are an amazing duelist, why would you care about something that focuses on outer beauty?"
The Class President pointed one finger up. At first, Alexis didn't understand, but then she realized Seika referred to the cheering that filled the arena.
"I enjoy the sound of people cheering for me, even if it is for vain reasons. I don't think I'll get much chance to do something like this for a while, so I'm enjoying it while I can."
Alexis raised her brow. With Seika's skills, she could easily become a pro, and crowds could be cheering her name. "Wait, are you not going to be a pro duelist after Duel Academy? If you're in the same league as Zane, you could easily get to the pros!"
"Yeah, I love dueling, but there's another reason why I'm here. It was the only school that my pops wouldn't throw a fit over if I chose it."
Alexis heard the care-free tone. However, she could tell there was a much more personal reason why Seika said this. Seika just implied she came from an affluent family.
The blonde freshman was caught off guard when Seika raised up her hand. "Let's also give a warm hand to the obvious Future Miss Duel Academy!"
The arena started to cheer for Alexis as well. Alexis didn't know what to make of it even though she didn't win.
"Accept it," Seika answered a question Alexis didn't know she had. "Inner strength is great and all, but it's nice to enjoy people cheering for you."
As the arena cheered for them, Alexis had to admit it was a nice feeling.
Hey, why did Seika put her hand down?
"Now then!" The President caught everyone's attention as she stepped forward. "As I explained a while ago, I must thank you all for giving me the prestige of being Miss Duel Academy. As thanks, I have prepared a speech to show my appreciation."
Above the stands, the Music Club was startled when Zane suddenly walked away from them with a speed that was close to running.
"First off! I'd like to," Reika paused and looked up. "Hey! I said, First off! Zane!? That's your cue dammit! And where's the rest of my cabinet!?" As she did look up, several Obelisk Blue Seniors ran away to avoid her gaze.
"Wow!" The music club looked over to Wilona, who had stars in her eyes. "I'm amazed at her ability to have people do whatever she wants them to do!"
The rest of the music club, especially the male Slifer Reds, panicked at the sight of Wilona gaining an idol.
"I hope Wilona doesn't get ideas." Syrus gave a small prayer. A shame that prayer went ignored.
[Tag Force: Heroes and Villains.]
Reika walked down the hallway after dealing with all of her adoring fans. It was nice to show off to the freshmen and give them an idea of who's at the top.
"You're in a good mood."
Seika huffed and turned to Zane, who leaned on the wall. "I'd be in a better mood if my cabinet weren't all Benedict Arnolds."
"We are not your personal cheerleading group." Zane tried to say. What came out was, "We didn't hear anything about you telling us to play victory music."
Seika leered and pouted.
"But why did you go through all this trouble to duel Alexis?"
At the Vice President's question, Seika became serious. She sighed and said, "Because you were oddly flippant about this. That was something I knew I needed to address now before things got worse. You promised to help Alexis with finding Atticus, yet you've neglected to mention anything to her about what you actually know."
Zane remained silent, but this time his silence was for a different reason.
"I decided to see if she actually was ready to handle the things we're uncovering. That duel was my test." Seika folded her arms. "She failed."
"Just because she lost,"
"It wasn't because she lost." Seika interrupted. "It's because she lost her cool so easily. If she got heated over one reference to her brother, how much more if we keep going down this route?"
Zane fell silent again.
"I know that you made a promise to her, but I'm ordering you to break it. She's not ready for it." Her expression became softer. "I'm sorry."
The Ace of Duel Academy sighed. "No, you're right. I'll tell her before Winter Break."
He wouldn't need to.
Alexis heard everything behind one of the corners. When Zane made a step forward, she already bolted for it as quietly as she could.
Alexis couldn't help but feel devastated but angry after hearing that. Seika was keeping her out of it!? That was her brother she was talking about!
Still, what could she do about it now?
At that point, Alexis found herself already heading to the Red Dorms.
Why did she come here? Maybe she needed some of Jaden's positivity.
"Yuki, for the love of God, the answer is no!"
That was Wilona's voice.
"Aww, come on, Wilona! We gotta help Honest!" Alexis spotted Jaden and Wilona talking to each other.
She then noticed the Duel Spirits (Jaden called them that) Honest and Winged Kuriboh with the two Slifer Reds.
"Yuki, may I remind you that you just got out of an expulsion duel for being seen near the abandoned dorm! That expulsion duel was your only warning! If anyone finds you there again, you'll be kicked off the school for sure!" The green-haired girl blinked. "I don't know why I'm complaining about that since I am now realizing that would make my life infinitely easier."
"I know I ask for much, Wilona." Honest bowed politely. Alexis had to remind herself that the ghost angel was as real as the air she breathed. "But please, I need to find Yusuke, and that place is the only clue we have."
The abandoned dorms? Honest wants to go back there? Alexis paused for a second as her mind began to realize that Honest was like her. He was looking for the missing students as well. Not only that, Honest probably knew more than even she or Seika on where the missing students could be. Wait, Alexis could make this work in her favor!
"I understand your concern," Wilona sighed and put a hand on her head. "But going there is too much of a risk!"
Alexis stepped in. "During Winter Break, there will be almost no one on the island." She already resolved herself and walked to the two Slifer Reds. "We can go back to the Abandoned Dorms then and no one will be able to spot us."
Jaden smiled and looked to Wilona. "That sounds like a good plan."
Wilona turned to Alexis with confusion. The green-haired girl had this feeling something was off about her. "Rhodes, are you sure about this? I mean, even Huffington and the younger Truesdale are going back to their families for the holiday. They're packing right now."
"That's actually better." Alexis narrowed her eyes. "The three of us will go back to the Abandoned dorms over Winter Break."
Seika was wrong. She was ready to help find her brother.

Chazz didn't know where to go, but he did want to get away from Duel Academy. It was weird though. The clouds suddenly got dark while the winds started to pick up. The weather and the forecast said it was supposed to be clear around the area.
ᴵᵀ ʰᵘᴿᵀᶻ
Chazz looked around, but only saw nothing but the ocean. "Hey, Driver! Did you say something?"

"Driver!?" Chazz was about to make his way to the steering wheel room. However, he felt the boat shake, and rain suddenly started to hail down on them without any warning.
Chazz held on to the rail and saw the flash of lightning. In that flash of light, he spotted a giant tidal wave about to swallow him whole.
But something was wrong.
Since when did tidal waves have two giant glowing eyes!?

At that moment, Chazz Princeton screamed for his life before the waves swallowed him whole.

A/N: As you can see, this Chapter is loosely based on a manga event of Miss Duel Academy. I pretty much made this chapter to flesh out Seika, or at least recreate her character for this story. She's based on an idea where a superior has too much fun making their employee's lives miserable (but reasonable). Now a bit of context: the original Seika was rather forgettable to me as she had a snake deck but I barely recall any plot she had. I did notice that she wanted to beat Zane, but she wasn't as strong as Zane and Atticus were in the manga. (Atticus was stupidly strong in the manga.) I thought that it was a bit of a shame that the only Female Senior Obelisk Blue was on the same level as the important freshmen. So I gave her a boost of everything in this story.
Also, I said before this story is going in a different direction. I'm really excited as the next few chapters are going to set up what is wrong with this story's world.
As a teaser: the next chapter/episode is supposed to reflect the one where Jaden duels against Jinzo. However, I flipped it over its head. Another thing to look forward to is my revision of...
I won't say it here. I'll keep it as a secret for later.
Also, November is an important month for writers because of No... I'm too lazy to google the name. Regardless, it basically means I have to up my writing game so! I'm making time to write more. This chapter is one of them.
Anyway, since the duel for this chapter was super short, I have the two fan-made cards.
Otherwise, have a nice day guys. Mine is going to be hell these next two months.
[Fan Made Cards]
Divine Presence: A card I made up that prevents spell and trap cards from activating or setting for one turn if there's a Cyber Angel Ritual monster on the field.
Shinobird Robin* is a level-2 spirit monster based on the Shinobird Archetype. It's the same stats as the other Shinobirds except that its attack and defense are (100/100).
