Summary:
Duel Academy, the school built by Seto Kaiba to foster a new generation of talented duelists is one of the greatest institutions in the world... that said, with the knowledge of three dangerous cards sealed under the school it might be a good idea if someone there was able to keep an eye on things and let Kaiba know what's going on at Academy Island. Perhaps, the young boy with the new Kuriboh monster? He'll need a special deck to use for emergencies but maybe this Jaden Yuki can keep Duel Academy running smoothly while enjoying his special entrance?
bopdog111: Alright now for the high stakes match.
Ulrich362: A very high stakes match, for Jaden and Alexis.
bopdog111: So what kind of match will this result in?
Ulrich362: Only one way to find out right?
bopdog111: Yup. Let's see what's happening.
Ulrich362: Sounds good to me, enjoy the chapter.

The fated day arrived, and now Dr. Crowler was walking down a hall grumbling while some Slifers backed away from him afraid he's gonna slap them with an unfair punishment.
'Just look at them! Pathetic Slifers littering the campus like vermin... The harold halls of MY Duel Academy of all the elite! Not the lame! Not Jaden Yuki!' Dr. Crowler thought in anger seeing the Slifers before shouting in rage, "THAT SLIFER SLACKER MADE A FOOL OF ME FOR LONG ENOUGH!"
His shout was heard all around in the Academy as the Slifers quickly made themselves scarce while Chazz walked out of their way to Dr. Crowler.
"Dr. Crowler, let me be the one to take Jaden down." Chazz stated.
"Hm? You?" Dr. Crowler asked hearing that.
"That's right, I'll be sure to take him down in this match and get him kicked out of here." Chazz smirked.
It didn't took Dr. Crowler a mere five seconds to decide. "Sorry, but you'll be sitting this duel out Chazz."
"Say what?" Chazz questioned.
"Don't get me wrong, your skills are admirable but I'm afraid I'm not taking any chances on this one. If Jaden loses he along with Alexis regrettably will be expelled from Duel Academy once and for all." Dr. Crowler explained it to him, "With is why they'll be facing one of the greatest Tag Duelists in the world."
With that said, and done he walked down the hall leaving Chazz there.
"Alexis too? I want Jaden to take the fall but not her." Chazz whispered. "Damn it, do I have to support that damn slacker?"
Meanwhile...
"Alright." Jaden, and Alexis were arming their decks together ready for the big day as he grinned to Alexis. "So you ready to kick some Duel Monster butt?"
"I hope so, we've never dueled as a team but I have a pretty good feeling about this one." Alexis admitted.
"Well Kaiba, Serenity, Mokuba, and Naomi believed in us alongside Sy, and the others." Jaden said patting her back. "So let's embrace that good feeling together."
"Right." she smiled taking a breath. "Ok, let's go."
"Attention the Tag Team Match will begin in just a few moments! And remember these are test conditions! These are Sudden Expulsion Matches!" the announcer declared.
Meanwhile in another part of the audience was Bastion, Jasmine, and Mindy sitting together with Bastion getting permission to sit with them.
"I have to say these matches are a bit harsh." Bastion told them. "Rumor is going on that Crowler arranged for best Professionals to duel them."
"Well, they did break a big rule." Mindy admitted. "But I think they'll be alright."
Jasmine notices something. "Oh, it looks like they're ready."
At another part was Chumley by himself watching with Syrus, and Zane not too far away.
"Those three will ace this match." Chumley told them.
At another part was Chazz sitting quietly with Taiyou, and Raizou by his side while Chancellor Sheppard, Dr. Crowler, and Kaiba's family were watching together.
"Send out the accused!"
From that call Alexis, and Jaden walked in together ready.
"Who did you get for us to duel teach?" Jaden grinned.
"I'm getting to that." Dr. Crowler rose up walking to the field holding a microphone before announcing. "Now without further ado allow me to introduce our guest Tag Team Duo!"
Suddenly two bald men dressed in a orange gi, and green gi jumped on the field doing expert back-flips. Alexis widened her eyes slightly recognizing them. The jumped in the air landing side by side, and rose up crossing their arms like monks.
"The Paradox Brothers!" Dr. Crowler announced the identity of the two.
"Salutations you fools." the orange monk smirked.
"Hope your ready to duel." the green monk smirked.
"Paradox Brothers? Who are they?" Jaden asked curiously.
"Wait... aren't they the same duelists back at Duelist Kingdom that Joey, and Yugi had trouble beating?" Mokuba sorta recalls the two Eliminators that used Gate Guardian, and nearly defeated Yugi, and Joey while the two formed Black Skull Dragon that gave them the victory.
"Wait they dueled the King of Games?" Chumley questioned in shock getting Jaden's attention.
"You two dueled Yugi?" he asked in awe.
"Yes of course. They haven't dueled since that match but there still the greatest Tag Team Duelists in the world." Dr. Crowler answered over with a smirk.
"Actually, Dr. Crowler I wanted to ask you something about this duel, will teams be sharing a field?" Alexis asked calmly.
"Yes of course but no sharing of strategy, or cards in your partner's hands." Dr. Crowler confirmed.
Alexis nodded at that. "Alright, thank you."
The orange monk known as Para talked, "Enough with the pleasantries..."
"Now on the duel..." the green monk known as Dox agreed as they both salute their hands.
"We didn't come here to talk."
"We came..."
"To destroy you!" the Paradox Brothers declared to their opponents.
That was when Chancellor Sheppard decided to get a say, "Crowler, don't you think this is a bit much?"
"No not at all!" Dr. Crowler quickly defended himself, "Jaden, and Alexis broke big time rules so they get big time opponents! Besides we can't send the brothers back now, they come so far."
"Well, I suppose you have a point." Sheppard nodded.
"What you think Mr. Kaiba?" he turned over for Kaiba's input.
He closed his eyes calmly. "They'll win."
Sheppard stared before shrugging with a smile. "Ah well what harm will this bring? After all your paying for there travel costs Crowler." This made Dr. Crowler looked shocked that his paychecks will be used to pay for the fee the Paradox Brothers will bring before the Chancellor looked over to Jaden, and Alexis. "Jaden, Alexis, I'm counting on you two."
"Of course, don't worry about a thing." Jaden grinned happily.
Dr. Crowler grumbled over from his missed paydays but if this will get rid of Jaden come sacrifices must be made right? "Yes, quite clever." He cleared his throat announcing. "Alright everyone! Time to begin the Tag-Duel! Duelists ready yourselves!"
The four of them got into position.
"Let's Duel!" they all called together.

"Now let us review the rules real quick. There is no sharing of strategy, advice, or cards in hand. You can use the cards your partner has." Dr. Crowler said before then calling. "That said, and done begin! Alexis' team will proceed first!" He jumped to join the others.

You can only use this effect of "Labyrinth Heavy Tank" once per turn.
"It has an effect like Zane's Cyber Dragon?" Jaden asked in shock seeing that.

He sets a card as a monster card appeared.

(Paradox Brothers: 8500/Hands: (Para: 4/Dox: 5))
"What are you two up to?" Jaden asked curiously.
"Wait how did they gain life points?" Syrus asked seeing the two glowed gaining LP.
"Soul Absorption, they gain 500 life points whenever a card is banished." Zane answered.
"Now I use Labyrinth Heavy Tank's effect again! It takes Kazejin from banishment, and places it on the field!" Dox smirked taking his recently banished monster placing it on the field like Suijin.

Alexis frowned seeing that. "What are you doing with those?"
"Your about to see. Next is discarding Shadow Ghoul of the Labyrinth from my hand!" Dox discarded a card. "So that I can take Labyrinth Wall Shadow to my hand, and activate the spell!"
At that the field changed around them there in a labyrinth with shadows around them.

"Wait... isn't that a monster?" Jaden asked.
"If you mean Wall Shadow, or Labyrinth Wall then you be correct. However this is a spell version." Para confirmed over.
"A version that boosts this further." Dox said as he said. "While on the field all monsters that are originally lower then 4 cannot attack the turn they are summoned."
Jaden's eyes widened hearing that.
"And allows us to do what Labyrinth Heavy Tank was helping us earlier." Dox grinned setting a third monster this time an orange electric monster.

Alexis frowned a bit seeing that. "What are you up to?"
"Why this... we combine all three together!" Dox smirked as they raised there arms where a wind pillar, electric pillar, and water pillar shot up from Kazejin, Sanga of the Thunder, and Suijin respectfully before moving fusing together.
"Fusing Spells!?" Syrus asked in shock.
"By banishing the needed cards on our field, hands, and graveyards wither or not they are monsters or spells we can summon the ultimate monster!" Para smirked over.
"The monster that will prove to be too much!" Dox added over as a windstorm happened from this while the combined pillar grown in size.
"Aspect of Wind, Lightning, and Water! Form yourself together into your combined self as the ultimate Guardian! Fusion Summon! Level 12, Gate Guardians Combined!"
The pillar faded revealing all three of them combined with Suijin as legs, Kazejin as the torso, and Sanga of the Thunder as the head, and arms.

Jaden's eyes widened seeing the monster. "Whoa, sweet monster."
"Great scott, already they summoned a Level 12?" Bastion asked shocked as he sees this.
"They dueled the King of Games, they have to be good." Jasmine told him.
"Whoa that's so cool!" Naomi was quite in awe from the powerful monster's entrance.
"It is somewhat impressive." Kaiba relented.
"And of course as three cards are banished we recover 1500 points." the two brothers glowed from this. (Paradox Brothers: 10000/Hands: (Para: 4/Dox: 3))
"Next, I sacrifice Labyrinth Heavy Wall." Dox tributes Para's monster setting one of his own. "That will end my turn."

"Then since I tributed Idaten all my Ritual Monsters gain 1000 attack points."
Cyber Angel Benten: (ATK: 1800 + 1000 = 2800)
"An impressive monster." Para praised over.
"Too bad Gate Guardians Combined is the stronger." Dox pointed out.
"Not for long." Alexis grinned. "I reveal my facedown card, Magnificent Machine Angel!"
Magnificent Machine Angel
Quick-Play Spell Card
Tribute 1 "Cyber Angel" Ritual Monster from your hand or field, then target 1 LIGHT Fairy monster you control; it gains ATK/DEF equal to the Level the monster had when Tributed x 200, until the end of this turn.

You can only activate 1 "Magnificent Machine Angel" per turn.
"This spell lets me send Cyber Angel Vrash from my hand to the graveyard to give Cyber Angel Benten 200 attack points times her level... which is an extra 2000 points."
Cyber Angel Benten began to glow.
Cyber Angel Benten: (ATK: 2800 + (200 * 10) = 4800)
"Now, attack Gate Guardians Combined!"
Benten readied charging in only for Para to call. "Trap card open! Prey of the Jirai Gumo!" A trap flipped.
(face-up)
Prey of the Jirai Gumo
Continuous Trap Card
Special Summon this card as a Normal Monster (Insect/EARTH/Level 5/ATK 2100/DEF 100) to your Main Monster Zone in its same column (this card is also still a Trap), then you can destroy 1 monster your opponent controls in this card's column. You can banish this card from your GY; add 1 of your "Sanga of the Thunder", "Kazejin", or "Suijin" that is banished or in your Deck to your hand. You can only use each effect of "Prey of the Jirai Gumo" once per turn.
"When this card activates, I summon it as a monster!" Para said as the trapped moved where a monster similar to Jirai Gumo rose up.
Prey of the Jirai Gumo: (Defense Position/EARTH/Insect/ATK: 2100/DEF: 100)
"What?" Jaden questioned.
"Confused not for long?" Dox smirked over. "Prey of the Jirai Gumo has an ability you should know..."
"If it's summoned to a column a card on your field is on, it's destroyed!" Para revealed as he shows that he summoned the trap to the same column that Cyber Angel Benten is in.
"So now your monster is food for Jirai Gumo!" At Dox's words Jirai Gumo jumped up at Benten who stopped her advances against this obstacle.
'Damn, I didn't expect that but still...' Alexis thought. "I banish Machine Angel Ritual to prevent Benten from being destroyed!"
At that Benten retaliated struggling against Jirai Gumo smacking it away to focus again on Gate Guardians Combined.
"So that means Gate Guardians Combined is now a sitting duck!" Mokuba grinned over.
"Maybe." Seto admitted over.
But Para smirked as shadows messed around the Labyrinth before what emerged in front of Benten as a new obstacle was Shadow Ghoul itself screeching loud.
"What the?" Alexis questioned.
"Shadow Ghoul of the Labyrinth has another effect." Para smirked over. "If you please brother?"
Dox smirked nodding before calling. "By banishing it from the graveyard as a Labyrinth Wall card is on our field, it destroys any of your monsters that do battle!"
Shadow Ghoul charged grabbing Benten pulling it down into the shadows. From the card being banished the Paradox Brothers glowed again alongside Machine Angel Ritual's departure. (Paradox Brothers: 11000/Hands: (Para: 4/Dox: 3))
Alexis looked stunned. "I... I switch Alexandrite to defense position and end my turn."
Alexis's Hand: 1/Field with Jaden: Gem-Knight Alexandrite (Defense Position), Incarnated Machine Angel (face-up), Three Set Cards
Para 2nd Turn:
"Hey so they managed to stop you for now. But don't worry Lex, we got this." Jaden grinned over to her.
"So confident. Let's see how far." Para drew looking over. "First I flip the monster Dox set for me!" The card flipped showing a small Labyrinth.
(Attack Position)
Labyrinth Wall

Equip Spell Card
Equip only to "Labyrinth Wall". You can Tribute the equipped monster; Special Summon "Wall Shadow" from your Deck.
"And I equip this card to Labyrinth Wall!" The Labyrinth gained an aura.
Labyrinth Wall: (Equipped with Magical Labyrinth)
"Then I Tribute Labyrinth Wall with Magical Labyrinth's effect to summon another of our signature monsters!" Para smirked raising a card from his Deck as the wall started to change. "Emerge Wall Shadow!" From there Shadow Ghoul like before emerged out screeching in Defense.
(Defense Position)
Wall Shadow
DARK
Level 7
Warrior/Effect
ATK: 1600
DEF: 3000

Dr. Crowler smirked seeing that.
"And now I switch Prey of the Jirai Gumo to attack position!" Para changed the position as the insect stood up.
Prey of the Jirai Gumo: (Attack Position)
"Now Prey attack that monster!" the spider screeched charging at Alexandrite who readied itself to defend Jaden, and Alexis' with it's life.
Jaden frowned as his monster shattered. "Alexis?"
"Right, I play Brilliant Spark!" she called
Brilliant Spark
Normal Trap Card
If a face-up "Gem-Knight" monster(s) you control is destroyed by your opponent's attack or card effect: Target 1 of those destroyed monsters; inflict damage to your opponent equal to its original ATK. If this card is in your Graveyard: You can send 1 "Gem-Knight" card from your hand to the Graveyard; add this card to your hand. You can only activate 1 "Brilliant Spark" per turn.
"This trap deals damage equal to Alexandrite's original attack points!"
The trap shot out a blaze striking both brothers. (Paradox Brothers: 9200/Hands (Para: 4/Dox: 3))
"An interesting card... too bad it won't help!" Para called as Gate Guardians Combined readied it's turn. "Gate Guardians Combined attack! Tidal Surge!" It fired a combined attack of wind, water, and lightning at once on the two.
They braced themselves as the attack hit.
(Alexis/Jaden: 4250/Alexis: 1/Jaden: 3)
"Then during Main Phase 2, I use Labyrinth Wall Shadow's effect! I place Suijin to the field." Para said placing the card from banishment.
Suijin: (Continuous Spell)
"Then after these two cards, I end my turn." Para sets two cards to end his turn.
Para's Hand: 2/Field: Labyrinth Wall Shadow (Field Zone), Gate Guardians Combined (Attack Position), Wall Shadow (Defense Position), Prey of the Jirai Gumo (Attack Position/EARTH/Insect/ATK: 2100/DEF: 100), Soul Absorption (face-up), Suijin (Continuous Spell), Two Set Cards
Jaden 2nd Turn:
Jaden drew his card only to frown slightly. 'I have a way to deal enough damage this turn but... if they counter my move it won't just affect me, Alexis will end up expelled too.' "Chancellor?"
"Hm?" Chancellor Sheppard asked hearing him.
"I'd like to request you don't punish Alexis if we lose this duel... I'll take all of the blame." Jaden admitted looking down. "She didn't do anything wrong, I was the one who ran into the Abandoned Dorm not her."
"Admirable but she confessed she made numerous visits to the Abandoned Dorm so she should be punished like you." Dr. Crowler would of course love to excuse Alexis but that choice has long since been denied due to her confession.
Jaden looked down hearing that. "I summon Gem-Knight Tourmaline."
(Attack Position)
Gem-Knight Tourmaline
EARTH
Level 4
Thunder/Normal
ATK: 1600
DEF: 1800
He channels mystic energies and changes them into fighting strength through the power of Tourmaline. Many admire his way of life.
"Then, I'll use Brilliant Fusion."
(face-up)
Brilliant Fusion
Continuous Spell Card
When this card is activated: Fusion Summon 1 "Gem-Knight" Fusion Monster from your Extra Deck, using monsters from your Deck as Fusion Material, but change its ATK/DEF to 0. If this card leaves the field, destroy that monster. Once per turn: You can discard 1 Spell; the monster Special Summoned by this card's effect gains ATK/DEF equal to its original ATK/DEF, until the end of your opponent's turn. You can only activate 1 "Brilliant Fusion" per turn.
Seeing this Alexis told him. "Jaden." He turned to her where she stated over. "Instead of asking for them to excuse me, why not we MAKE them excuse us. Like how we said you would?" She gave a wink with a grin at that which reminded Jaden. He doesn't think they'll win, he KNOWS. Now he has to do this like how he knows he will.
Jaden looked at her only to frown. 'Easy to say Lex, but my entire move depends on them not blocking this attack and if they can stop me neither of us have any defenses left on the field.' "I can use Brilliant Fusion to combine monsters in my deck, so I'll merge Gem-Knight Garnet, Lazuli, and Lapis together in order to Fusion Summon Gem-Knight Lady Brilliant Diamond!"
(Attack Position)
Gem-Knight Lady Brilliant Diamond
EARTH
Level 10
Rock/Fusion/Effect
ATK: 3400
DEF: 2000
3 "Gem-Knight" monsters
Must first be Fusion Summoned with the above Fusion Materials. You can only Special Summon "Gem-Knight Lady Brilliant Diamond(s)" once per turn. Once per turn: You can send 1 face-up "Gem-Knight" monster you control to the Graveyard, and if you do, Special Summon 1 "Gem-Knight" Fusion Monster from your Extra Deck, ignoring its Summoning conditions.
"Of course two more effects trigger. Gem-Knight Lazuli returns Gem-Knight Garnet to my hand and Brilliant Fusion drops Brilliant Diamond's attack and defense points to zero."
Jaden added his monster as Brilliant Diamond darkened.
Gem-Knight Lady Brilliant Diamond: (ATK: 3400 - 3400 = 0/DEF: 2000 - 2000 = 0)
"Why do something like that?" Para blinked over not understanding Jaden's move while the young man realizes something.
Alexis is telling him to duel with his heart like how he normally does, and it gives them the strength to battle ahead. Not to worry about losing just dueling with your heart, and they can get through this like how he normally does.
'I know Lex, and if it were just my future at risk I would.' he thought. 'But it isn't and if you get expelled you'll never find your brother and it would be my fault.'
"Ok next up is Particle Fusion!"
Particle Fusion
Normal Spell Card
Send, from your side of the field to the Graveyard, the Fusion Material Monsters that are listed on a "Gem-Knight" Fusion Monster Card, then Special Summon that Fusion Monster from your Extra Deck. (This Special Summon is treated as a Fusion Summon.) When you do: Banish this card from the Graveyard to target 1 "Gem-Knight" Fusion Material Monster used for the Fusion Summon; the Fusion Summoned monster gains that monster's ATK until the End Phase.
"I'll use it to fuse Brilliant Diamond with Tourmaline and Fusion Summon Gem-Knight Topaz!"
(Attack Position)
Gem-Knight Topaz

Topaz rose up from his Duel with Chazz readying over.
"1800 points..." Dox trailed off seeing they avoided Labyrinth Wall Shadow's final effect again.
"Still it's not impressive, it doesn't have the strength to turn things around." Para pointed out over as they see it.
"I can banish Particle Fusion to activate its effect and boost Topaz's attack points by the attack points of Gem-Knight Lady Brilliant Diamond." Jaden revealed as Topaz began glowing much brighter than before.
Gem-Knight Topaz: (ATK: 1800 + 3400 = 5200)
"Eep gasp!" the two called in shock.
(Paradox Brothers: 9700/Hands (Para: 2/Dox: 3))
"Topaz, attack Gate Guardians Combined!" Jaden called
Topaz charged in which Gate Guardians Combined braced over retaliating but Topaz dodged the attack moving, and slashing over landing one large downward one on it destroying it.
"At Gate Guardians Combined is cooked!"
"I can hardly look..."
(Paradox Brothers: 8250/Hands: (Para: 2/Dox: 3))
"Topaz's special ability deals damage equal to your monster's attack points in the graveyard." Jaden revealed only to notice their graveyard glowing. "Huh?"
Topaz charged on slashing the two together. (Paradox Brothers: 4500/Hands: (Para: 2/Dox: 3))
Dox merely smirked over. "Foolish children. Should Gate Guardians Combined leave the field by you, we can summon a new monster!"
"You should remember this one." Para smirked as Dox takes a card.

Jaden frowned. "Well Topaz can attack twice so destroy Gate Guardian!"
Topaz charged slashing passed Gate Guardian destroying it. However as it was in Defense Position, no damage was dealt.
"Topaz's special ability activates again." Jaden told them.
Topaz charged slashing down once more allowing Jaden, and Alexis to take the lead.

Topaz vanished while Brilliant Diamond rose up from the graveyard readying her blade.

"I send Prey of the Jirai Gumo to the graveyard for us to recover 1000 points!" Para called as the trap vanished vanished which Brilliant Diamond slashed missing leaving only Wall Shadow in Defense on there field
(Paradox Brothers: 1750/Hands: (Para: 2/Dox: 3))
Jaden's eyes widened. "I can destroy Wall Shadow at least."
Brilliant Diamond charged in slashing off Wall Shadow making it screech shattering emptying the Paradox Brother's field of monsters. Jaden looked before his eyes widened. "I set this and use Brilliant Diamond's ability."
Brilliant Diamond swiped her rapier over charging magic glowing bright.
"She can replace a Gem-Knight including herself to summon another Gem-Knight from the Extra Deck right?" Serenity recalled over to Kaiba.
"That's right." Kaiba nodded.
"I tribute Brilliant Diamond to summon Gem-Knight Aquamarine in defense position." Jaden called.

"That ends my move."
Jaden's Hand: 1/Field with Alexis: Gem-Knight Aquamarine (Defense Position), Incarnated Machine Angel (face-up), Brilliant Fusion (face-up), One Set Card
Dox 2nd Turn:
"My turn then draw!" Dox drew before grinning. "And I activate Labyrinth Wall Shadow's effect to place Sanga of the Thunder!" At that Sanga's card appeared on the field.
Sanga of the Thunder: (Continuous Spell)
Jaden frowned.
"And now like before!" Dox called as the pillars of water, and lightning shot up forming together into one.
"What?" Alexis questioned.
"Aspect of Lightning, and Water! Form yourself together into your self into the mighty defender! Fusion Summon! Level 9, Gate Guardian of Water and Thunder!"
Emerging from the pillars was another combined monster though unlike Gate Guardian Combined this doesn't have Kazejin combined with it.

If this face-up Special Summoned card in its owner's control leaves the field because of an opponent's card: You can Special Summon 1 of your banished "Suijin" or "Sanga of the Thunder".
Only behind by 50 points...
"Not good, they're on trouble." Mokuba frowned.
(Paradox Brothers: 2750/Hands: (Para: 2/Dox: 4))
"And now, I thank you for destroying Gate Guardian, and Gate Guardians Combined. It allows us to use our most powerful spell." Dox grinned before revealing one of Para's face-downs. "Dark Element!"

You can banish this card from your GY; add 1 of your "Sanga of the Thunder", "Kazejin", or "Suijin" from your Deck or banishment to your hand. You can only use each effect of "Dark Element" once per turn.
"Dark Element?" Alexis asked seeing it.
(Paradox Brothers: 1375/Hands: (Para: 2/Dox: 4))
"By paying half of our Life Points, we can summon a monster that cannot be destroyed in battle!" Para smirked over while Dox pulls out the card.
"Dark Guardian!" A large portal appeared as something large rose up.
It was a large warrior upper body like human with a giant arachnid lowerbody holding a giant one-handed axe.
(Attack Position)
(Special Summoned with Dark Element)
Dark Guardian
DARK
Level 12

Cannot be destroyed by battle. If this card is Special Summoned by the effect of "Dark Element", it is unaffected by other monsters' effects or your opponent's activated Spell Cards or effects.
"Invincible in battle, and has that many attack points!?" Bastion asked in shock seeing the monster.
Jaden's eyes widened. "Alexis?"
"I know." she nodded in awe.
"Otherside that, as it was summoned by Dark Element, your spells, and your monster effects cannot do anything to it!" Para admitted over smirking over.
Alexis widened her eyes.
"And now I use the spell, Riryoku Guardian!" Dox uses the other face-down Para left.

You can only use each effect of "Riryoku Guardian" once per turn.
"As our Life Points are lower, I pick Gate Guardian of Thunder and Water! Your life points are cut in half!" Dox called as a dark energy aura enveloped the two.
Jaden and Alexis groaned from the aura.
(Alexis/Jaden: 2125/Alexis: 1/Jaden: 1)
"After that Gate Guardian of Thunder and Water gains attack points equal to your current life points!" From that the monster powered up.
Gate Guardian of Thunder and Water: (ATK: 2550 + 2125 = 4675)
"Then… they lose?" Syrus frowned.
"Now Dark Guardian attack!" Para called over as Dark Guardian armed it's axe delivering a mighty swing out at Aquamarine.
The monster was split in two as Jaden frowned. "When Aquamarine leaves the field I ca return one card to your hand, I pick Thunder and Water!"
secs ago"What?" the monster appeared snatching Gate Guardian of Thunder, and Water launching it out which Dox tched over from the close save. "Fine then. Then my brother will finish this next turn. No more no less." With a plan in mind for Para to take to end the duel, Dox ended his turn.

Alexis 3rd Turn:
Alexis frowned, incarnated Machine Angel wasn't helping and the card in her hand couldn't help. "I draw!"
Looking she felt her heart sink, Machine Angel Absolute Ritual.
"Lex?" Jaden asked seeing the poker face she's making wasn't any good.
"It's alright Jaden I..." she started before pausing as her eyes widened turning to him only to see him give a small nod. "I reveal my set Pot of Greed to draw two cards!"
Drawing them she smiled.
"I play the spell Machine Angel Absolute Ritual! Thanks to this spell, by tributing the level eight Cyber Angel Izana in my hand I can call forth my level eight Cyber Angel Dakini!"
Machine Angel Absolute Ritual
Ritual Spell Card
This card can be used to Ritual Summon any "Cyber Angel" Ritual Monster. You must also Tribute monsters from your hand or field and/or shuffle Fairy or Warrior-Type monsters from your Graveyard into the Deck, whose total Levels exactly equal the Level of the Ritual Monster you Ritual Summon.
(Attack Position)
Cyber Angel Dakini

Fairy/Ritual/Effect
ATK: 2700
DEF: 2400
You can Ritual Summon this card with "Machine Angel Ritual". If this card is Ritual Summoned: You can make your opponent send 1 monster they control to the GY (their choice). If a Ritual Monster you control attacks a Defense Position monster, inflict piercing battle damage to your opponent. Once per turn, during your End Phase: You can target 1 Ritual Monster or 1 "Machine Angel Ritual" in your GY; add it to your hand.
"And when Dakini is summoned you send a monster to the graveyard!"
"Did you forget? Dark Guardian summoned by Dark Element can't-" Para tried to remind only for Dark Guardian to groan dropping into the graveyard. "What?"
"But how!?" Dox stared in shock seeing that should be impossible as monster effects do nothing when it's summoned with Dark Element.
"What just happened!?" Dr. Crowler questioned. "Alexis... don't tell me you're cheating? You wouldn't!"
"No she isn't." they looked over towards Kaiba who had a smirk. "Normally an effect that sends a monster to the graveyard would not work against it... however what had happened is that she FORCED them to CHOOSE. As what's written on the card, they are required to send a monster to the GY which bypasses all protection effects that Dark Element gives it."
"I get it, Dark Guardian is unaffected, but the Paradox Brothers aren't and Dakini affects them." Serenity realized.
"Alright Dakini, time to finish this one up. Attack Dox directly!" Alexis called.
(A/N (Ulrich362): Huge apologies... I severely underestimated the new Gate Guardian cards... I knew they were better but... I didn't realize they were that powerful.)
Dakini charged in slashing down on them ending the duel.
Jaden/Alexis: 2125

Field: Cyber Angel Dakini (Attack Position), Incarnated Machine Angel (face-up), Brilliant Fusion (face-up), One Set Card

Jaden & Alexis wins!
With the duel's end Labyrinth Wall Shadow vanished around them as the Paradox Brothers knelled together in defeat.
"Well, that settles that and it was a wonderful duel." Sheppard smiled.
"I think I was on the edge of my seat the whole time..." Mokuba admitted over.
"They won at least, so they get to stay." Serenity mentioned to him as Naomi smiled.
"It's ok uncle Mokuba." she smiled hugging him.
Mokuba smiled hugging his niece.
"That was amazing Lex good work!" Jaden grinned over to Alexis with a thumbs up.
"It wasn't easy, but we managed it." she smiled.
"Well, I trust you two learned something from all of this?" Sheppard inquired.
They turned over to him as Jaden nodded. "Yeah stay away from the Abandoned Dorm."
"Good, and I can expect you both to write a ten page paper explaining how you learned that by dueling the Paradox brothers." Sheppard mentioned.
"What about you Crowler? Did you learn anything?" Kaiba turned over to Dr. Crowler himself.
"Me?" he asked nervously.
"Yes, did YOU learn anything?"
Dr. Crowler visibly flinched at that.
"I thought not. It's simple, Jaden has proven that despite his rocky start he has potential to be at this Academy." Kaiba stated over towards him. "And as such should not be doubted anymore. You are to join him, and Alexis on this paper on how you learned this."
"I... yes sir." Dr. Crowler nodded.
Kaiba then turned to Jaden. "You impressed me a bit Jaden. I knew you would win that one, and I expect you to keep proving yourself."
"I will, but to be honest I doubt I'd have won without Alexis... she's an amazing partner." Jaden smiled only to frown slightly. "Still, something about that dorm feels... wrong, I hope it's nothing but..."
"Unfortunately we can't know what feeling. Just keep out of it for now." Kaiba stated to him.
Jaden nodded at that.
Ulrich362: Talk about cutting it close, and again apologies for underestimating the Gate Guardian cards.
bopdog111: Admittedly, I didn't knew Dakini would break through Dark Guardian like that.
Ulrich362: It's a good thing it did. Of course next up is a duel for someone else right?
bopdog111: Yeah. Involving Dr. Crowler who also doubts the potential of someone.
Ulrich362: Sounds fun, see you in the next chapter.
bopdog111: Be sure to review!
