Hey all. Sorry for the really late update. This chapter had me scratching my head due to the duel. I think I lost track of a few moves here and there so if something is amiss please let me know in your reviews. Speaking of that:
(I REALLY want to do this duel, but I just don’t have it in the budget right now. It’s going to take some time)
In this dark age of moral relativism and moral insanity, the radical difference of opinions has divided man like never before. But there is one thing we can all agree on, dragons are ****ing awesome, and so are the people who control them. Seto Kaiba, Yugi and Atem’s eternal rival, and Zane Truesdale, one of the greatest students to ever grace the halls of Duel Academy. Despite being two of the heaviest hitters in the history of Yu-Gi-Oh, these two titans have never crossed blades. Let’s see what we can do about that. Kaiba Seto Kaiba is the head of the world’s largest multinational gaming conglomerate. His genius-level intellect and resources helped him become the number one ranked duelist in the world. His place at the top of the world seemed untouchable, until a certain high school kid with a really weird haircut, that just happened to be sharing bodies with the spirit of an ancient Egyptian Pharoah, showed up out of the blue and ruined everything. From that day forward, Kaiba made it his mission to defeat Yugi in a game of Duel Monsters. Kaiba’s most essential card is the legendary Blue Eyes White Dragon. Even after all this time, it still holds the record for Normal Monster with Highest ATK. But if Kaiba needs a bit more firepower to get the job done, he has a whole handful of fusion monsters, ritual monsters, and tons of other support cards. He doesn’t even need to screw the rules to summon multiple dragons in a single turn. And if he does it just right, he can inflict massive damage or blow his opponent away with an OTK. Overcoming his rival wasn’t the most important thing in Kaiba’s life, it WAS his life. Even after Atem had passed on, Kaiba was determined to have the final word. He built an elevator into space so he could have a computer reassemble the Millennium Puzzle in zero gravity, the cost of which must’ve been astronomical (no pun intended). Also, not only does his company have records of every card ever played on one of his duel disks, but they can also apparently be used to spy on people; but who’s brave enough to sue this guy for invasion of privacy? Naturally when you’ve got an intellect and resources like Kaiba’s, you’re probably a cocky dick. You’d think this guy would never lose anything, but you’d also be wrong. Kaiba has his fair share of downsides. This includes a weakness to Exodia, Dragon Capture Jars, Buster Blader and Dark Paladin, a bad habit of using up his hand, and stairs. www.youtube.com/watch?v=9BfLQ2… Still Kaiba is a fearsome opponent for anyone that would face him. Feats Formerly the Number One ranked duelist in the world Defeated Pegasus (Pyramid of Light) Defeated Ishizu Ranked 3rd in Battle City Was able to wield Obelisk the Tormentor Was deemed worth to wield The Fang of Critias Defeated a simulation of Atem Zane Zane Truesdale is one of the most powerful students to grace the halls of Duel Academy. He is one of the few duelists that Jaden was never able to beat, only tie with. For this matchup, Zane will be using a deck that focuses exclusively on his Cyber Dragons. The Cyber Dark cards will not be making an appearance, because machine monsters and dragons aren’t really compatible. Most duelists will agree that the Cyberdark deck isn’t really worth ruining your health over, especially when you’ve already got a perfectly functioning Cyber Dragon deck. Zane’s deck focuses on summoning powerful machine monsters, which he can pump up with cards like Power Bond and Limiter Removal. At the end of GX season 1, Zane was able to power up his Cyber End Dragon so it had 36,900 ATK. In the anime and manga, that’s more than enough to OTK an opponent nine times. Though impressive, Zane’s combos often come at great risk and costs. Power Bond forces the player to pay life points equal to the ATK that was doubled. Limiter Removal destroys every monster that had it’s ATK doubled at the end of the turn. Or if Zane’s not careful, his opponent could use a card like Magic Cylinder, and he’d end up wiping himself out. And those ATK points wouldn’t make any difference against a Yubel deck. Still, few things are scarier than a big metal dragon that can obliterate your life points several times. Feats Graduated from Duel Academy at the top of his class Defeated Jaden Defeated Chazz without losing any life points (manga) Defeated Chancellor Sheppard Defeated Atticus Prediction This is a close one. Both Kaiba and Zane have combos that could end the other quickly if timed just right. Zane may have a slight edge in flexability and raw ATK, but Kaiba has the cards he needs to counter. (Without using plot device cards) We can debate the fine points all day, but the fact is that both Kaiba and Zane only need one OTK to finish each round. So the million dollar question is who can deal the killing blow first? Both Zane and Kaiba are smart enough to know that they want to go second at the start of each round, so they can be the first to attack. But that comes down to a coin toss and what cards they draw on the first turn. Ultimately, this comes down to the laws of probability.
Guest -There will be some attempts, but thankfully next chapter will have a LOT of changes and all of them good, for the school and for security.
Unsan Musho -I won't have Jaden re-duel Crowler. I will, however, destroy Crowler's pride and joy. In this case, it'll be two Graduating Blues turned Minor Pros.
Lightingblade49 - Oh trust me, Crowler will weasel out, but he'll be hit hard.
Hope you all enjoy the chapter!
The morning air was still, the sun just breaking the horizon. The island of Duel Academy slowly began to waken. In a garage next to the main school, several men in green uniforms and berets climbed onto a covered truck. A woman watched them all get on before she herself climbed into the passenger's side. With a roar, the truck started and rumbled down the road.
'So what's this all about, ma'am?' The driver asked. 'Seems like a tad overkill..'
'We got an anonymous report that a couple of students may have traveled to the Abandoned Dorm. You know the rules on that.' The woman replied.
'The Forbidden dorm? Why would someone go there?'
'I don't know, but I intend to get the student and drag him before the Teacher board.'
EODGX
At the Slifer Red dorm, Jaden was currently sitting on the steps, his arms crossed and eyes closed. Hearing a rumble, he opened his eyes, seeing a truck. Banner, also hearing the rumble, came out confused. Seeing the truck stop and several men and women get out sounding off, he gasped.
'The Disciplinary Action Squad! They are only used if a student or students have been really naughty! Why are they here?!' Banner said.
'They're here for me.' Jaden said, walking up to the professor.
The group stopped before the two, the woman looking between the two.
'Professor Banner. We're here for a couple students of yours.' The woman said.
'Of course, Miranda..may I ask what this is about?' Banner asked.
Miranda shook her head, stating that it was for the Teacher Council. At hearing that Banner frowned, looking at his PDA. He stated that he did not get a notification for the Council. Hearing that made many of the DAS look shocked, Miranda also surprised.
'I see..well, regardless, I'll need to take Jaden Yuki and Syrus Truesdale into custody..'
Banner cut her off, his face became angered, a rare feat.
'Syrus? He was with me and Professor Sweet all night last night working on a project of his for my class! Unless you plan on arresting him for simply being a good student, I see no reason to disturb him!'
Miranda quickly backed down; she had heard legends of Lyman Banner's rage and did not want to deal with it. Hearing that Professor Sweet was also involved made her REALLY nervous; the man did not play around at all. The golden eyed teen stepped up.
'You're here for me and me alone.' Jaden said.
'Jaden, I will let the other Teachers know of the council. Something tells me this is a Crowler scheme.' Banner said seriously.
Jaden simply nodded, climbing into the truck.
EODGX
Earlier at the School
Mindy, Jasmine, Alexis and Fonda Fontaine all stood outside a single room. On the door was the name Midori Hibiki, school therapist/Counselor. The three girls looked nervous, Fonda though was grave faced. They had discussed it the night before they went to bed.
The events of the night before had led to her having nightmares for the first time in a long time. Leading her to look haggard and depressed. She wasn't the only one; the three behind her were of a similar state. Sighing, Fonda knocked on the door, speaking to the girls.
'We got to get this off our chests, girls..we may have made Jaden a tad hesitant around us and girls in general after our..reactions last night.' Fonda said.
'Not how I wanted my first kiss to go..' Jasmine said with a sigh.
'Yeah..' Mindy an sighed together.
The door opened up to reveal a brown haired woman at five foot eight, eyes that were the same chocolate brown as her hair, and a red uniform with gray pants and red high heeled boots. Seeing the four, Midori smiled, but it went away when she saw her old friend Fonda staring.
'Midi, mind if we all come in..?' The head nurse asked.
'Sure thing Fonda. Please come in.' Midori said, stepping aside.
The four shuffled in and that sent warning bells in her head; having been a counselor for nearly five years now, she could read people by their body language. The girls kept on looking around, like something was about to grab them. Fonda was the same, constantly looking over her shoulder and looking down at her self, almost if she was expecting something else and then lowering her shoulders in relief at seeing whatever.
Closing the door, Midori offered several seats to the four and sat down.
'Now, what's going on? You four look like you're about to jump out of your skin.' Midori asked gently.
'Miss Hibiki..we..' Alexis started and stopped.
She looked at the other two who were looking everywhere but where the Counselor was at. Those alarm bells became blaring klaxons; girls wouldn't look at someone unless-
She shot a quick look at Fonda and saw the same reactions from her friend. Jumpy, skittish, and finally, looking anywhere but at her. Fearing the worse, but hoping for the best, Midori assured the four whatever was said here in this office was going to remain in the office.
That broke the dam for Mindy.
The black haired girl began to sob uncontrollably, Jasmine placing her arms around the girl, tears of her own falling. Alexis tried to remain strong, but she took was shaking. Fonda though was the worse; she was cradling her head in her hands, sobbing. Quickly, Midori brought out a box of tissues, feeling the pit in her stomach grew bigger and bigger.
The tissues taken out, the four got themselves back under some control.
'Girls..Fonda..please..don't keep it bottled up.' Midori said soothingly.
'I..I know we shouldn't, Miss Hibiki, but..oh god, its so hard to relive..' Jasmine said, blowing her nose.
'I know sweetie, I know.' Midori soothed. 'I have..an idea of what happened to you all, but I want to hear it..it's the first step to healing. As I said, everything is confidential here.'
Fonda took a deep breath, letting it out slowly. Deciding that she'd be the first to take the plunge, she spoke.
'I was molested, Midi..'
The pit in her stomach became cold. She was expecting it, but it still took her by surprise. Looking at her friend, she got up and quickly pulled her into a hug. Fonda began to sob anew, burying her face into her friend's shoulder. The counselor looked at the other three who were comforting themselves.
'Am I correct in assuming the same thing happened to you three?' She asked in a low tone.
The three all nodded, hugging one another closer. Midori sighed, not liking the scene before her. It would be painful, but they'd have to explain everything. The sobbing went on for another hour, but they soon got themselves back. Midori took off her jacket and set it aside, revealing the pink cashmere shirt underneath.
The mileage is only 17 cents to the mile which did not cover it at all. It is commission based not hourly so sometimes I would come in and only have one house or none at all. Maids 2 deception endings. The manager has poor communication skills, would often leave early for no reason, and allowed her husband to hang out in the office all day even when she wasn't there. When I was hired I was mislead on how much money I would make.
'I want to reassure you all that its not your fault. It may feel like it is, but you didn't ask for the genetics to make you all beautiful. I know its going to painful to revisit what happened, so please..take your time. All of you. Hell, I can schedule several individual sessions for all four of you if you wish and feel more comfortable with one on one.'
'Jasmine, Mindy?' Alexis asked, looking at her friends.
'I'm fine with this format.' Jasmine whispered, Mindy doing the same.
'Alexis?' Midori asked.
The girl nodded, stating that she was fine with the format as well. The brown haired looked at Fonda who silently nodded; she too was good with the format. Picking up a pad and paper, she began to part that was hard; revisiting.
'Can you all tell me when it exactly happened?'
All four replied it was last night, Midori making some notes. They told her about the busted hot springs pipes and them using the co-eds. Mindy took over, telling her that while Alexis and Jasmine playfully bickered waiting for Miss Fontaine, she went to the forests edge to look at some wild flowers. She was about to rejoin the two when something clamped down on her mouth with a rag soaked in sickly sweet.
'Chloroform.' Fonda interrupted, blushing at the looks. 'I found a few bottles missing from our medical supplies this morning. We have it to make another drug to neutralize some of the poisonous plants around the island or to deal with any students who think eating wild mushrooms is a good idea.'
Midori made another note and prompted Mindy to continue. The girl shook her head, stating she was out like a light. Jasmine took over, telling the counselor that she and Alexis were about to go look for Mindy. Alexis said that Miss Fontaine came out at that time and she offered to explain things to her while Jasmine went to look for Mindy.
Resuming her part of the tale, Jasmine told the counselor had she had gone looking for Mindy. During her search, she was ambushed from behind and knocked out like Mindy.
Midori nodded, making more notes. She looked at Alexis and Fonda, the latter who continued on.
Fonda told her old friend that after she was told what had happened, she had gone into the forest to look for the two. She had found the two bound, blindfolded, and gagged next to a campsite. Before she could alert security though, she was attack from behind by a large man in a mask. She had fought the man to no avail and he used chloroform on her as well. Thinking back in hindsight, she should have left her PDA with Alexis to contact security.
Midori didn't say a thing, looking at the last member.
'I was waiting to hear from Miss Fontaine..I was so deep in my thoughts and worries, I didn't hear someone sneak up on me. What I do know is that we were to be bait for one of the Students here.' Alexis said, suddenly scared. 'He..he won't get into trouble will he?'
'No. As I said, this is all confidential though I will have to talk with him about his side of the story. What's his name?' Midori asked.
Relieved that he wouldn't be in trouble, Alexis said his name.
'We were to be bait for Jaden Yuki.'
Midori's pen stopped suddenly and her head shot up, shock on her face. The other four were confused; why was Midori shocked and so pale all of the sudden? The counselor placed her pen down, hands shaking.
'Jaden..oh god, he's actually here?' Midori asked in a quiet whisper.
'Miss Hibiki?'
'Midi?'
Hearing the group, she snapped out of her thoughts and gave a small smile.
'I'm sorry..I have history with Jaden..I..helped raised him when his parents..' Midori said, trailing off.
Seeing that it was personal, they all went quiet. Silence reigned..but it was broken by the beeping of two PDAs. Both Fonda and Midori pulled out their PDAs and saw a message from Banner and Stein.
'Fonda/Midori, we're needed to assemble as the council. We have a situation with a star student.' The messages said.
The two quickly got up and looked at the three.
'Stay here girls. I want to hear the rest of this alright?' Midori said before looking at Fonda and whispering. 'Fonda, I think you should sit this out..'
'What?! Why?' The head nurse said confused.
'Because I think its about Jaden. I'll explain when I get back alright? I'll tell everyone there that you aren't feeling good at the moment.' The woman continued in her whispered voice.
With that, Miss Hibiki hurried away.
EODGX
Jaden stood in a dark room, his eyes closed and arms crossed. Up on two massive screens were Crowler who was looking smug and Sheppard who was grim faced.
'These are serious charges, Jaden. Going to the Abandoned Dorm is a one way ticket to expulsion.' Sheppard said.
'I agree! So let's not wait and dole out the needed punishment!' Crowler crowed.
Jaden's eyes snapped open at that and glared at the doctor.
'Article seven, section nine, line twenty of the Duel Academy Charter. 'No student shall be expelled without the full approval of the Teacher Council nor will they be put on a hearing without the representation of the headmaster'. Last I checked, there were a grand total of ten members of the Teacher council. You're eight short, DOCTOR. What's more, Professor Banner is not here at my side. I think you're violating several important rules that Seto Kaiba himself set down.' Jaden said, his tone dripping acidic venom.
Several more screens suddenly came on, revealing Professor Jason, Satyr, Stein, Professor Manuel of the second year class Origami, Professor Carmen of Dance two, Professor Son of Basic Programming, and finally a brown haired woman.
The minute she locked eyes on Jaden she looked shocked and stunned at his appearance. Jaden frowned, trying to recall who she was. Shaking off the feeling, he counted.
Seven..but where's Miss Fontaine?
One of the others noticed too.
'Midori, where's Fonda? She got my message did she not?' Stein asked.
'I'm sorry to say she's feeling a tad under the weather everyone.' Midori said, still staring at Jaden.
The group all nodded and contacted someone else. Minutes later, the leader of the DAS showed up then, taking Fonda's spot. Eight were assembled.
'Alright, what's this all about, Jaden?' Jason asked, staring at his star pupil.
Before he could tell them, Crowler butted in and loudly said that he had been seen leaving the Abandoned dorm. Instantly, everyone's face grew serious. Jason himself was a tad stunned, but he recalled his mother's saying; 'there's a reason to everything.'
'I'm sure Mister Yuki had a good reason to go to the dorm.' Jason said. 'But where is this other witness? Surely they would be here as well.'
Crowler said that they were just a concerned student and not asked to have their identity revealed. No one bought it though, but they couldn't deny the video that Crowler provided after the question was asked. Still, they wanted to hear the Slifer's side of the story.
Jaden first started by looking at the leader of the DAS.
'Is it normal for security to be away from their post late at night?' Jaden asked coolly.
'No, why do you ask?' Miranda replied.
Jadne pulled out his PDA and accessed it, sending the message he had gotten from Titan. He took pains to blur the image enough to prevent the four from being seen clearly. The ten read the message and Jaden explained that he had gotten it from an unknown PDA. He had first tried to contact security to alert them to the matter, but no one had replied. He then instructed his fellow dorm mate, Chumley Huffington to keep trying while he investigated.
During the conversation, Miranda checked her own server and was shocked to see over a hundred messages; one from Jaden, several from Chumley, and the rest from the girls of the Girls' dorm.
'What did you find?' Satyr asked, his question bringing the Leader of the DAS back to the matter at hand.
'A Triple S class criminal.' Jaden said. 'Known by the name of Titan.'
That made everyone sit up; Crowler began to call Jaden a liar and a sneak. That set off Jason who said that Crowler was out for Jaden from the start. Jaden simply ignored it, watching the others. During the shouting fest, another DAS guard came in and whispered into Miranda's ear.
'I see..everyone? EVERYONE?'
When the shouting did not die down, she whistled sharply. Once everyone got their ears cleared and attention on her, she spoke.
'I've just been informed that twenty students from the Blue Dorm have not been seen since early yesterday..if what Mister Yuki said is true, then it stands to reason that Titan here attacked them and he was to be the twenty-first victim. There..is also something else. I have over a hundred messages; one from Mister Yuki, a couple from Mister Huffington, and several from the girls dorm.'
'The Girls' dorm?' Sheppard said seriously.
'Yes..it appears that four of their own never made it back until very late last night.' Miranda replied.
Realization struck like a lightning bolt.
'Oh god, the four must have been kidnapped by Titan and used to bait Mister Yuki.' Stein said horrified.
'I just said that..' Jaden said in a low voice.
'Do not forget this was Titan too. He has been known to..take pleasure in the flesh.' Satyr said grimly.
Sheppard listened intently before sighing.
'Regardless, noble or not, Mister Yuki still broke the rules.'
'Agreed! After all, it would be unfair to the rest of the students if we give Mister Yuki special treatment!'
Jaden's blood grew hot at that and he snarled.
'Unfair. Unfair? UN-FUCKING-FAIR?! WHAT'S UNFAIR IS THAT FOUR GIRLS WERE POTENTIALLY MOLESTED BY THAT MONSTER AND NOT ONE SECURITY FORCE MEMBER WAS AROUND! YOU, WHO ARE THE ADULTS OF THIS SCHOOL, YET DO NOT PROTECT US FROM THIS ATTACK! YET YOU THINK IT WOULD BE UNFAIR THAT I GET STAR TREATMENT! THAT IS WHAT I THINK IS UNFAIR, THAT THE ADULTS WE TRUST TO PROTECT US FUCKING BOTCH IT! KNOW THAT IF I LEAVE, I WILL LET THE MEDIA OUTLETS KNOW OF THIS.'
Jaden's shouting made many of the gathered to flinch. If word had gotten out, it would ruin them. Jaden glared at Crowler who was also pissed off. They stopped their glaring match when Miranda spoke up.
'Since this is about expulsion, I say that we let the accused duel to stay here. Should he win, he remains, should he lose, he is expelled.' Miranda stated.
'An excellent idea! I will arrange the proper opponents for mister Yuki.' Crowler said.
'Crowler!' Jaden called out before the doctor turned off. 'Know this. I won't just defeat your opponents..I will ANNHIALTE them. I will ruin their dueling careers before they take off and make them so terrified of a deck of cards, they WILL end up in the asylum. And when the dust clears..you will see EXACTLY who I am.'
The ominous message given, the boy left.
EODGX
Midori arrived back at her office after the council meeting. Stepping inside, she looked to see the four chatting with one another. They all looked up to see her.
'What happened?' Alexis asked, worried.
'I will tell you, but after we wrap this up alright?' Midori said, sitting back down. 'Who woke up first?'
Mindy said she had. A monster's roar made her come to and-
Here, Mindy grew quiet, bringing her knees up and wrapping her arms around them, softly sobbing. Midori's heart went out to the girl and she put the notepad down.
'I think we can stop right there for now. I want you all back here at four in the afternoon sharp tomorrow.' Midori said in a no nonsense tone.
The group looked ready to argue, but relented. They did feel drained a bit. As they got up, Alexis remembered something and looked at Miss Hibiki.
'So what was that meeting about?'
Midori froze; if she told them, it would either make them even more depressed or get them mad. Sighing, she spoke.
'It was in regards to a student.'
'It's about Jaden isn't it, Miss Hibiki.' Jasmine said.
The therapist nodded once and told them what the meeting was all about. Hearing that Jaden was now dueling to avoid expulsion got the four riled up. Mindy went on a tirade that it was unfair; he had saved THEM yet he was being punished? The four began to head out the door, but not back to their dorms. Confused and alarmed, Midori asked them what they were doing.
'Going to Sheppard.' Mindy said.
'This injustice here at the school has gone on for long enough.' Jasmine continued.
'If Jaden goes, WE go. I may not find the truth of my brother..but he wouldn't want me to let someone else take the fall for me.' Alexis said with biting venom.
Chancellor Sheppard Ygopro Deck List
'That boy went out of his way to do what security couldn't. When we punish the good and reward the vile, what sort of standard does that set for society?' Fonda said coldly.
With their pieces said, the four walked to the office of the Chancellor.
EODGX
In Sheppard's office, he was currently being briefed by Miranda. The DAS was very troubled by her findings and he was as well. Titan knew their security rotations, avoided being seen, and managed to kidnap several students! There was also the number of messages; she had talked with the head guard on duty and what she found really concerned her.
The head guard had been told by Crowler of all people that he wasn't needed and to head to bed. Given he was the Vice-chancellor, the head guard didn't think much of it. Now though, the head guard was regretting not pushing. Sheppard sighed.
'This is a disaster. Crowler is remaining adamant that he thought that nothing was wrong last night.' Sheppard said.
'There's also the matter of the four kidnapped females, sir. We haven't-'
Miranda was cut off by Alexis Rhodes, Jasmine Fairbrooks, Mindy Tang, and Fonda Fontaine. All four looked livid about something and Sheppard knew that he wasn't going to like what he was about to hear. Nevertheless, he put on a smile.
'Good day, ladies. How-'
'If Jaden Yuki is expelled for saving us Chancellor, you can kiss our tenures as students here goodbye as well!' Mindy snapped, making the man's eyes go wide.
'What?! You mean, you three were the ones kidnapped by Titan?' Miranda sputtered out.
'Four, Miranda.' Fonda said, looking at the Chancellor. 'If that boy is expelled, consider this my two weeks notice.'
'We were molested by persons unknown and Jaden saved us! How fucked up is our system where we punish the guy doing the right thing and reward the people who got away?!' Jasmine spat, slamming her fist on his desk.
Sheppard realized that four pissed off women was a sight he never wanted to see. Hearing that they were molested by persons unknown had him thinking. Naive he may be, but he was not stupid. Those twenty students missing now meant that they weren't kidnapped, but aided Titan. He knew how the four looked to the boys, but hadn't done anything to tell the boys no meant no. Now they were paying for it.
'Girls, girls! Please..I understand your feelings and I know Jaden did the responsible thing first. We've discovered that Crowler had sent Jeremy Fitz, our newest night guard, to bed early. Trust me, I will be having a talk with him about that!' Sheppard assured them. 'I would like nothing more to reverse the ruling, believe me! But Jaden..he told me in a text that he wanted to duel. Something about the time of hiding was over.'
Hearing that, the four calmed down, but still looked pissed. Miranda and Sheppard didn't blame them. Jaden's words came back to haunt them and the older man sighed.
'I take it you've all gone to Midori to talk about this?'
At the nods, he sighed, clasping his hands.
'This has been a clusterfuck, a big one. A triple S class criminal, Twenty students missing..possibly aiding and abetting said criminal, a security force that is not as secure as I thought and four ladies molested right under our noses. Miranda, until we clear Crowler of any wrong doing, he is no longer able to command your forces.' Sheppard said, a note of finality in his voice.
Miranda nodded, grateful.
'What about Jaden?!' Fonda demanded. 'He risked his life to save me and the other three.'
Sheppard sighed, rubbing his head.
'I cannot overturn the ruling nor do I want to deny the boy his chance. We all reached a majority. Jaden will duel the opponent's chosen for him.'
'Whose choosing them?' Mindy asked.
'Crowler.'
That made the four scowl.
'You know he'll be going to the biggest pros since Yugi Muto retired right?' Alexis pointed out.
You know that saying 'Speak of the devil and he shall come?'. Well, that's exactly what happened at that moment. Crowler walked in, carrying a large amount of paperwork.
'Chancellor, I have all the request forms filled out for the upcoming expulsion duel..' Crowler said, stopping and seeing the four. 'Oh! Good morning everyone. May I ask what the top three Blues are doing here?'
'Delivering our resignations from this school.' Mindy said bluntly.
Hearing that, Crowler's face and jaw dropped, the papers falling limply from his hands. Sheppard groaned at seeing the massive mix up, but continued to watch. The doctor sputtered and stammered, much to the amusement of Miranda and Sheppard. When he finally got himself under control, Crowler had one question on his lips.
'Why?'
It was Fonda who answered.
'Because we were kidnapped and molested by persons unknown, but now suspect that they were boys from the blue dorm working in league with a Triple S class criminal, Titan. Twenty boys vanishing seems suspicious.'
Hearing that, Crowler's entire frame froze. Molested? Boys Blue Dorm? Titan..Crowler felt sick to his stomach. He had hired that man to scare Jaden not..not this! Three of his top best students and a fellow faculty member! It was with realizing horror that Crowler came to the conclusion that he had caused this. He wouldn't admit to it though!
'W-w-w-well, I'm going to see to security about this!' Crowler said, trying to save face.
'About that. Doctor Vellian Crowler, until such a time that you proven innocent of this fiasco, under the charter set down by Seto Kaiba himself, I am having your duties in regards to security restricted.' Sheppard said, standing up.
'B-b-b-but-!'
'No buts! This has been a massive cluster-fuck and now we stand to look like fools if Jaden loses. Should he be expelled, I will gladly take the resignations of these four before me. As Chancellor, I will be sad to see them go, but as a Man of honor, I cannot condemn them to stay here with their molesters still running about! That is final! Now, go and send for the opponents Crowler.'
Cowed, the doctor scurried away, the four breathing a sigh of relief.
'That was awesome, sir.' Jasmine said with a weak smile.
Chuckling, the man sat back down.
'I take it you'll stay if Jaden stays?'
'Yes' was the unanimous call.
Nodding, the man wrote a few things down. He then handed them over to the four. Fonda, seeing what they were, explained to the girls that they were discharge forms, usually meant for expelled or in their case, resignations students or faculty. Sheppard nodded.
'I want you four to fill out those forms. Should Jaden lose, you can hand them in then. But..I get a feeling that Jaden won't lose..and something that I missed will reveal itself in the duel.'
Accepting, the four left.
EODGX
Crowler was a mismatch of emotions as he entered his office; one hand, he wanted Jaden to lose so he could be expelled. But then he recalled HOW this got to be and he was sick and disgusted with himself. He let a grudge of a simple duel dominate his life and as a result, he caused mental and emotional trauma to four innocents. Sitting down, Crowler rubbed his face.
'What have I done? I let this..this get too out of hand. I need to make this right, but how?! I don't want to lose my job..and I certainly don't want this to be blacken my good name. But..the guilt..'
He was interrupted by a Vid phone call. Pushing aside the thoughts, he accepted it. On screen were two males, one wearing orange, the other green. Both did not look happy.
'You must think us fools, you buffoon!'
'Indeed, hiring us to duel a golden eye teen? That is fastest career suicide I've seen!'
Crowler blinked.
'Mister Para and Mister Dox, I don't understand..'
'Understand this then! We shall not duel!'
'Clean out your ears and listen to your better peers! Duel we shall not, for dueling is all that we have got!'
'Mock the King? Surely you jest for suggesting such a thing!'
With that, the vid call ended. Now Crowler was mad. He had offered the two good money for the duel but they didn't want to! Growling, he pulled out a massive book and began to thumb through it. He called every number of the pros, but each one made the same statement.
They wouldn't duel.
Growing more and more pissed, Crowler was now looking at the minor pros, having exhausted the Majors. He was calling a man by the name of Rick Grange..in fact, now that Crowler thought about it, Grange was a familiar name. While he was waiting, he picked up the Student list and perused through it.
Gain, Garfunkle..Grange! Keith Grange and younger sibling to Rick. Crowler thought to himself.
'Keith was one of the boys to go missing..' Crowler said aloud.
'Hello? Rick Grange here..well, as I live and breathe..Doc Crow!' Came Rick's southern accent.
'Ah! Rick m'boy! Terribly sorry to call you..but I have a student that is having an expulsion duel. All the pros I've contacted are too busy or have prior engagements.'
'Well, shoot, I'm sorry ta hear that. But what's that got to do with me?'
'I didn't want to say it bluntly, but its about your younger brother, Keith. He's gone missing and I think this student is responsible.'
There was silence on the other end for several long minutes. When Crowler feared he may have given a stroke to Rick, the voice came back on, deathly even and cold.
'When do ya need me there?'
'As soon as you are able to get free..I actually was looking for a second duelist to join you, a kind of two vs one.'
Rick didn't care and simply told the doctor he'd be there. Crowler smiled, the vid phone going off. Taking another look at the book, he compared the names of the missing students with the list of up and coming Pros.
'Adrian Kaine. Kaine, Kaine..ah! Lucius Kaine!' The doctor said happily.
Dialing the number, he sat back, chortling, the feelings of before lost. A man with blonde hair and green eyes came on, blinking in shock.
'Doctor Crowler. This is unexpected, but not unwelcome. What brings my old headmaster to my vid screen?'
'Hello, Lucius! Ah, good to see you again. How's the pros handling you?'
'Ah, you know how it is. Busy, busy, busy. Well, now that the pleasantries are done, what can I do for you?'
Crowler explained that several students had gone missing with no clue as to where they had went. One of them was Lucius kid brother. Hearing that, Lucius' eyes narrowed dangerously. He said that no one had the right to make his brother disappear except him. He said that he'd be there and asked if there was anyone else missing. Crowler said that Rick Grange was also in for the duel and that made Lucius smirk.
'Rick and I were the Tag Team Kings of the school..I'll be there ASAP.'
With that, Lucius hung up. Crowler cackled, no longer feeling the regret and remorse.
EODGX
Jaden had been locked up in the library, the only place the Reds avoided when he was there. Several cards laid out before him, many of them his trust Evil Heroes. Yubel appeared at his side, touching his shoulder.
'Judai..'
The boy didn't respond, but continued to assemble the deck. His eyes were burning with fury and hate. Taking out three cards from a deck box, he looked at them. The three cards themselves were covered in a blackness so deep that it made the light seemed to be sucked into them. Setting the three aside, he continued to work on his cards.
'I meant what I said, Yubel..' Jaden said suddenly making the spirit jump some. 'I will annihilate whoever Crowler chooses. No mercy..no more hiding..I will not forgive or forget what happened that night.'
'I..I understand, Judai. Just..don't let the Darkness consume you like before alright?' Yubel whispered.
'I won't..I promise.' Jaden said, frowning as a thought occurred to him. 'It took my..parents..nearly sending you away to awaken my memories. What are the odds of it happening to the girls? I know I had dreams of lookalikes in the past..'
'Very likely..but Judai, do remember that reincarnation works differently for everyone. They..they may not remember at all.'
'Then..I'll just have to win them all over again won't I?'
With that said, he returned to remaking his deck.
EODGX
Word soon spread around campus about the expulsion duel. Many of the Blues, a majority of the Ras and one Slifer were exceedingly happy to hear that Jaden was set to be expelled. The other divide, being the rest of Slifer, Bastion and his following in Ra and a few blues who knew Jaden were understanding that someone had tried to do harm to several students and security was no where to be found.
Chazz himself had tried to get a rematch, but Crowler outright refused him. Stating that he had lost not once, but twice, he couldn't trust the boy to mess up. That had sent Chazz on a tear and made him start to question whether coming to Central Duel Academy was right. All that happened to him was humiliation after humiliation.
So, quietly in the night before the duel, Chazz left the island. No one would notice for several weeks.
Finally, the day came and the classes were all canceled to view the duel. As they gathered in the main arena, they saw the two newcomers and many began to talk amongst themselves.
'That's Rick Grange and Lucius Kaine! They're the former Tag Team Kings of the school.'
'I heard that they were on par with the Paradox brothers.'
'That slifer sludge is going down tonight!'
'Ain't he a Yellowbelly now?'
Up top of the arena's stands, Alexis, Jasmine, and Mindy all stood at the railing, nervous to be around so many people. Zane walked up to the three, his face stony.
'Hey you three.'
The reaction he got was one he was not expecting at all. All three girls jumped and fell into fighting stances, eyes glaring but unseeing. Zane took a step back in shock. After a few tense minutes, the three relaxed and came back to their senses.
'Z-Zane! Oh man, I'm..I'm so sorry.' Alexis apologized.
'It's fine..actually, no, what prompted that reaction?'
The three girls looked at one another, uncomfortable. Mindy shook her head, Jasmine doing the same.
'I'm sorry, Zane..but this is something that we can't openly discuss.' Alexis said finally.
Zane frowned, not liking the answer, but respected the three's privacy. He did however have one final question.
'Does it have to do with Jaden?'
Automatically, the three nodded before stopping themselves. Zane simply said he understood and turned his attention to the arena. The crowd watched as Jaden walked out, his face stony and many of the blues booing and heckling him. He simply ignored it, stepping onto the arena.
Unseen by everyone save for Alexis, Jasmine, Mindy, and Chancellor Sheppard, a black cloud arose from the deck as Jaden inserted it. They didn't have much time to think on it as Crowler pranced onto the field, smiling widely.
'Everyone! Welcome to the expulsion duel of one Jaden Yucky! We have him facing off against Rick Grange and Lucius Kaine! Two former Duel Academy Alum and Obelisk Blues turned minor pros! I hope you are all ready to see a bad student finally get his comeuppance!'
The good doctor walked by the boy, smug as ever. Jaden's voice though broke through to the doctor's mind.
'Just remember who suffered for your misdeed, Doctor.' He said so lowly only the doctor could hear.
Recalling what had happened to his students and fellow teacher made the guilt come back full force. He staggered off the stage and left the three to their devices. Both Rick and Lucius activated their disks, Jaden doing the same.
Rick: 8000/Lucius: 8000/Jaden: 16000
All three pulled out their starting hands. Jaden looked at his hand and then at his two opponents.
'Since its your futures on the line, I'll let one of you two go first.'
'You'll regret that, punk. Rick?'
'On it Luke.' Rick said, drawing his card.
The southern man looked at the card and then revealed it.
'I'll start things off with this here spell of mine, Reinforcement of the Army. This allows me to add a four or lower star monster from my deck.'
Picking his deck up, Rick began to search for a card. Seeing one, he picked it out and added it to his hand. He then chose another, revealing it.
'I play my Noble Knight Medraut in attack mode!'
(Noble Knight Medraut – LV/****, Attribute/LIGHT, ATK/1700, DEF/1000, Type/Warrior/Effect.
This card is treated as a Normal Monster while face-up on the field. While equipped with a 'Noble Arms' Equip Spell, this card becomes an Effect Monster with this effect.
● This card becomes DARK and its Level is increased by 1. Once per turn, if you control no other monsters: You can Special Summon 1 'Noble Knight' monster from your Deck in Defense Position, except 'Noble Knight Medraut', and if you do, destroy 1 Equip Spell you control.)
'Noble Knights.' Professor Jason mused. 'This might be a challenge for Jaden.'
Turning to the rest of the group he was with, he explained that the Noble Knights was a archtype focused solely on Equip Spells. They had ways to summon out other Noble Knights or recycle the Equip spells. It took a while to master but if mastered properly, a player could end the turn in a single round.
Rick continued his turn, playing the monster Gwenhwyfar, Queen of Noble Arms. He explained that since he had a Noble Knight in play, he could play her as an Equip Spell. The monster gained three hundred extra attack points and a new effect based on its Attribute.
Noble Knight Medraut – ATK/1700 → 2000
'But since my own monster's effect makes it treated as a DARK as well as a LIGHT, I get both! Now, I'll play this too! My first Noble Arm Caliburn!'
(Noble Arms – Caliburn – Type/Spell/Equip. You can only control 1 'Noble Arms - Caliburn'. Equip only to a Warrior-Type monster. It gains 500 ATK. Once per turn: You can gain 500 LP. If this face-up card on the field is destroyed and sent to the Graveyard: You can target 1 Warrior-Type 'Noble Knight' monster you control; equip this card to that target. You can only use this effect of 'Noble Arms - Caliburn' once per turn.)
Noble Knight Medraut – ATK/2000 → 2500
'Now, I'll use my Medraut's effect. Since I don't control another monster, I can special summon another Noble Knight. Of course, the cost is an Equip Spell. I summon my Noble Knight Borz in defense mode.'
(Noble Knight Borz – LV/****, Attribute/LIGHT, ATK/1700, DEF/900, Type/Warrior/Effect.
This card is treated as a Normal Monster while face-up on the field. While equipped with a 'Noble Arms' Equip Spell Card, this card becomes an Effect Monster with these effects.
● This card becomes DARK and its Level is increased by 1. During your Main Phase: You can reveal 3 'Noble Arms' cards from your Deck, have your opponent randomly add 1 of them to your hand, and send the rest to the Graveyard. You can only use this effect of 'Noble Knight Borz' once per turn.)
'I'll destroy my Lady with the Sword, but she won't be gone for long. I equip her to my Borz, having him gain three hundred.'
Medraut – ATK/2500 → 2200
Borz – ATK/1700 → 2000
'Now I'll use Borz's effect. I select three Noble Arms cards and then you randomly chose one.'
Once more, he selected three cards and held them up. Jaden wordlessly pointed to a far right card. Nodding, Rick discarded the two remaining cards and added the single card to his hand.

Rick's Grave: 4
'I've made Luke and you wait long enough, so I'll end my turn.'
'I'll pick up then.' Lucius said, drawing his card.
He looked at it and then smirked.
'I play my Skilled White Magician in attack mode.'
(Skilled White Magician – LV/****, Attribute/LIGHT, ATK/1700, DEF/1900, Type/Spellcaster/Effect.
Each time a Spell Card is activated, place 1 Spell Counter on this card when that Spell Card resolves (max. 3). You can Tribute this card with 3 Spell Counters on it; Special Summon 1 'Buster Blader' from your hand, Deck, or Graveyard.)
'I'll finish up my turn by playing a spell card, The A. Forces.'
(The A. Forces – Type/Spell/Continuous. All Warrior-Type monsters gain 200 points for each Warrior-Type and/or Spellcaster-Type in play.)
Borz – ATK/2000 → 2600
Medraut – ATK/2200 → 2800
Jaden drew his card, looking at it. Adding it to his hand, he chose another.
'I summon Evil Hero Nautilus in defense mode and then equip him with Heart of Clear Water.'
(Heart of Clear Water – Type/Spell/Equip. If the equipped monster's ATK is 1300 or higher, this card is destroyed. The monster equipped with this card is not destroyed as a result of battle or by the effect of a card that targets the monster. (Damage calculation is applied normally.)
The guardian Evil Hero arose and crossed his arms. He was then covered by a barrier of water. Jaden chose another card and revealed it to the two.
'I play Pot of greed, drawing two cards.'
Drawing his two, he looked at them and nodded. He chose one and placed it facedown in his S/T zone along with playing another spell.
'I use Hero's Spite. By sending one card from the top of my deck to the grave, I can play another Evil Hero..so long as its level five or lower.' Jaden explained, tossing out his top card.
(Hero's Spite – Type/Spell/Normal. Send 1 card from your deck to the Grave. Then Special Summon 1 'Evil Hero' Monster from your hand or Deck. The monster must be Level 5 or lower. Destroy it at the End Phase of your turn.)
'I summon Evil Hero Obsidian in attack mode.'
(Evil Hero Obsidian – LV/*****, Attribute/EARTH, ATK/2100, DEF/1200, Type/Fiend/Effect. If this card is sent to the card graveyard, add 1 'Dark Fusion' or 'Dark Calling' from your deck to your hand.)
Obsidian was a massive fiend in stone like armor that was black as night. It growled lowly at the sight of the three monsters. Both Keith and Lucius got ready, glaring. Jaden returned the glare with his.
'Obsidian, attack the White Magician.'
The monster bellowed and charged forward, but Lucius was ready.
'Go Negate attack!'
A barrier sprang up and stopped the attack. Jaden simply nodded, Obsidian returning to his side. He selected one final card and placed it facedown next to his other one.
Lucius Grave: 1
'I end and with Obsidian's demise, I gain one Dark Fusion or Dark Calling.'
The monster had several cracks appear on his armor before blowing apart, a single card floating into Jaden's hand. He looked pointedly at Rick.
Rick drew his card, looking at it and smirking.
'I play Noble Knight Bedwyr in attack mode.'
(Noble Knight Bedwyr – LV/****, Attribute/LIGHT, ATK/1600 → 2600, DEF/1500, Type/Warrior/Effect.
When this card is Normal or Special Summoned: You can send 1 'Noble Arms' Equip Spell Card from your Deck to the Graveyard. During either player's turn: You can target 1 'Noble Arms' Equip Spell Card and 1 appropriate monster on the field; equip that Equip Spell Card to that appropriate monster. This effect can only be used once while this card is face-up on the field.)
Rick took one card from his deck and placed it into his Graveyard. He then revealed another spell card.
Rick's Grave: 4
'I'll then play Noble Arms – Gallatin. This will raise my monsters power by a thousand. But during each standby phase, it'll lose two hundred. I'll end at that.'
EODGX
'I don't get it, why haven't Rick or Lucius attack yet?' Syrus asked, watching the duel.
'Because of Jaden's single monster is immortal both to battle and card effect thanks to Heart.' Bastion explained.
'Yeah, why waste a few attacks when there's not going to be any damage? They're saving it up until they get a destruction spell.' Chumley said.
The three returned their attention to the duel.
EODGX
Lucius started his turn making them return to the duel. He drew and then used his Skilled's effect to bring out the Buster Blader. The massive swordsman glared down Jaden's monster who glared right back. Jaden ignored it, waiting. Lucius then played pot of Greed, drawing his two cards. He ended his turn with three cards facedown.
Lucius Grave: 3
'Draw.' Jaden intoned. I use the effect of the Evil Hero that was sent to the grave by Hero's Spite. Arise, Evil Hero Prank defense mode!'
(Evil Hero Prank – LV/**, Attribute/DARK, ATK/400, DEF/1200, Type/Fiend/Effect. If this card was sent to your graveyard by a card effect, Special Summon it during your Standby Phase. When this card is destroyed as a result of battle, add 1 Spell or Trap card from your deck to your hand.)
A tiny imp like fiend in jester clothing appeared next to Nautilus, snickering like Muttley hound. Jaden placed another card facedown and ended his turn. Keith drew, but didn't play anything. Instead, he switched Borz to attack mode and ordered his Noble Arms to attack Prank. Borz charged forward, a single swipe from the sword cutting through the snickering Evil Hero. Rick smirked, confident in his victory.
'You activated my trap Deck Destruction Virus as well as my Prank's effect to add 1 spell or trap to my hand!' Jaden announced, taking a card from his deck.
(Deck Destruction Virus – Type/Trap/Continuous. You can only activate this card when a DARK Fiend-Type monster with 500 or less Attack points is destroyed. During each End Phase, send 10 random cards from your opponent's deck to the Graveyard.)
Rick's and Lucius's eyes bugged out at that. Lucius looked at Rick with an annoyed look.
'Good going.'
'Sorry, sorry..damn, I don't have Mystical yet.' Rick cursed. 'I'll end..'
Several ghostly limbs came out of the trap card and pulled in ten cards from Rick's deck.
Rick's Grave: 14
Lucius drew his card, frowning. He looked at what he had drawn and smirked.
'Alright, I use my facedown, Dust Tornado and use it on your Clear Water.'
The spell's power was swept away by the trap's gusts. Jaden simply cocked an eyebrow, but ignored it. Rick, on the other hand, was pissed.
'You could have used that to get rid of the Virus, Luke!'
Hearing that, Lucius face palmed at his own idiocy.
'Sorry.'
Now free to attack, Lucius ordered Buster Blader to cut Nautilus down to size. The swordsman nodded, charging forward with its sword. The dragon slayer decimated Nautilus, only for a trap to reveal itself.
'I use the Evil Signal Trap. This allows me to play another Evil Hero in place of the one you just destroyed. I play Evil Hero Devil in defense mode.'
(Evil Hero Devil – LV/****, Attribute/DARK, ATK/1500, DEF/2000, Type/Fiend/Effect. This card cannot be destroyed in battle by monsters with 1500 or more ATK. When this card is destroyed, by battle or by card effect, you can add 1 card from your Graveyard to your hand.)
A winged man appeared, kneeling down. Lucius scowled, using his two traps, both being Jars of Greed to draw one card each.
EODGX
Up in the stands, Alexis frowned.
'This..this isn't Jaden's style. He's aggressive, not this..'
'Calm? Collected?' Zane supplied, staring at that the duel.
'Yeah. It's almost like he's resigned to his fate.' Jasmine said.
'Not exactly.' Zane said, making the three look at him. 'He's not playing aggressive because he's resigned. No, its because he's toying with them. He wants them to bring out their best monsters..before he destroys them utterly.'
The three looked at each other, but before they could ask, Jaden started up his own turn after Lucius ended and lost ten cards.
EODGX
Lucius Grave: 13
Jaden drew his card, looking at it. He instantly set it facedown and then played another Evil Hero.
'I summon Evil Hero Jackal in attack mode.'
(Evil Hero Jackal – LV/****, Attribute/DARK, ATK/1900, DEF/1100, Type/Fiend/Effect. This card can attack your opponent directly. When this card attacks, it switches into defense mode.)
A Fiend wearing a jackal outfit appeared. Jaden ordered Jackal to attack Rick directly. The monster surged forward, leaping over the wall of warriors and landing before the man. With a slash, Rick's chest was struck.
Rick: 6100/Lucius: 8000/Jaden: 16000
After its attack, Jackal knelt down. Jaden then placed another two cards in his S/T zone. At his end, ten more cards were taken from the two's decks and placed in the grave.
Rick's Grave: 24
Lucius Grave: 23
'Alright, time to turn this around!' Keith said, agitated. 'I sacrifice my Noble Knight Borz and my Noble Knight Medraut for my Noble King Arthur in attack mode!'
(Noble King Arthur – LV/********, Attribute/LIGHT, ATK/2500, DEF/2000, Type/Warrior/Effect.
When this card is summoned, chose 3 'Noble Arms' cards from your graveyard and then equip them to this card. While Equipped with a 'Noble Arms', it gains the following effect:
This Card's Attribute is treated as DARK. Once per turn, you can select 1 card on the field. Destroy it and then send to the graveyard 1 'Noble Arms' card. This card cannot attack your opponent directly when you use this effect.)
Rick's Grave: 28
A young man in golden armor appeared before the group. Many of the girls had hearts in their eyes at his regal face. Jaden simply ignored them, getting ready. The two Equips that were on Borz and Medraut appeared, equipping them to Arthur.
Arthur – ATK/2500 → 3000 (Caliburn) → 3300 (Lady with the Sword) → 3900 (The A. Forces)
Rick's Grave: 26
'Next I'll use Caliburn's effect giving me five hundred Life points.'
Keith: 6600/Lucius: 8000/Jaden: 16000
'Alright Arthur, I'm using your power to destroy his Virus trap.'
Arthur nodded, slicing through the trap card. The Caliburn card then exploded into digital pixels and Keith smirked.
'Alright, Bedwyr! You're up! Take down that Jackal!'
The knight nodded, charging at the defense card. The fiend simply opened its arms to embrace its death. With a few quick slices, the monster was destroyed. That made Jaden's facedown reveal itself.
'I use the Trap card, Evil Signal once more. Now, I play Evil Hero Melody in attack mode.'
(Evil Hero Melody – LV/****, Attribute/DARK, ATK/1200, DEF/1700, Type/Fiend/Effect. When this card is Summoned, add 1 'Dark Fusion' card from your Deck or Graveyard to your hand. When this card is destroyed as a result of battle, you can return 1 Trap card in your Graveyard to your hand.)
Melody was a petite woman who wore a musicians clothing. She stepped onto the field, pointed teeth gleaming. A glow came from Jaden's deck and he added the card to his hand.
'I'll just attack her then with Arthur! Go, Kingly Swipe!'
The new monster charged forward, its blades shimmering brightly. Melody glared, getting into a fighting pose. Jaden smirked, revealing his other facedown.
'I use Sinister Song. This is Melody's signature card and what it does is..well, why don't I show you?'
(Sinister Song – Type/Trap/Normal. You can only play this if 'Evil Hero Melody' is in play. Cut all Monsters ATK in half)
Arthur grew smaller in size as Melody sang her tune, as did Buster Blader and Bedwyr.
Arthur – ATK/3900 → 1950
Despite the reduction, Arthur cut through Melody, casting her into the Graveyard. A glow came from his grave and he took out one single trap card.
Keith: 6600/Lucius: 8000/Jaden: 15250
Arthur – ATK/1950 → 3900
'Nice, Rick!'
'Keep it up, Lucius! I end my turn.'
Lucius drew his card, looking at it. Seeing it was a fusion card, he looked at Rick who saw the excited look and nodded.
'Me casa is you casa bro!'
Lucius revealed Polymerization and told everyone that he was fusing his Buster Blader with Keith's Bedwyr. That made Professor Jason sit up.
'Oh this is both good and bad.' He said worryingly.
He explained that there was a Blader fusion that dealt with a Warrior over a Dragon and how it was limited to just Tag Team duels or two against one in this case.
'I Fusion summon Buster Blademaster in attack mode!'
(Buster Blademaster – LV/*********, Attribute/EARTH, ATK/3000, DEF/2500, Type/Fusion/Warrior/Effect.
'Buster Blader' + 1 Warrior-Type Monster
This card cannot be summoned except by Fusion Summon. For every Warrior-Type in the Graveyard, this card gains 100 attack points. When this card attacks, all monsters on the opponent's side of the field switch positions. When this card inflicts battle damage, select 1 card on the field and destroy it. This card cannot attack directly.)
Rick's Grave: 28
Lucius: 25
A monster looking like Buster Blader, save for his now golden armor and cape, descended onto the field. It brought out its sword, swiping it downward with a grunt. Jaden's eyes lit up suddenly and he felt his own aces flare their power. Unfelt by all save a select few, a deep sense of foreboding entered their hearts. The two ignored it and Lucius ordered an attack.
Buster Blademaster – ATK/3000 → 3300 → 3900 (The A. Forces)
Charging forward, Devil went from kneeling to standing. The monster caught the attack, but the gust of wind surged past and sliced into Jaden who simply took a step back.
Rick: 6600/Lucius: 8000/Jaden: 12850
Devil suddenly blew up and Lucius explained the second part of the effect of the Bladmaster. How it could destroy any card on the field. A sudden glow came from Jaden's grave and Pot of Greed slid out. Explaining Devils' effect that when destroyed by battle or card effect, he gained a card from his grave. Lucius scoffed, thinking it was a waste and ended his turn.
'My draw.' Jaden said, drawing his card.
Seeing it was a hero card, he instantly played it.
'I summon Elemental Hero Bubbleman and since he's the only card in play, I gain two more cards.'
Drawing, Jaden added them to his hand and revealed Pot of greed, drawing another two cards. One of the cards drawn had a sinister black aura around it and Jaden smirked.
'I play Dark Fusion, Fusing my Elemental Heroes Bubbleman, Sparkman, and Avian to form..Evil Hero Maelstrom in attack mode!'
(Evil Hero Maelstrom – LV/********, Attribute/DARK, ATK/2800, DEF/2800, Type/Fiend/Effect.
'Elemental Hero Bubbleman' + 'Elemental Hero Sparkman' + 'Elemental Hero Avian'
Must be Special Summoned with 'Dark Fusion' and cannot be Special Summoned by other ways. All monsters with 'HERO' in their name cannot be destroyed as a result of battle.)
A darker and more sinister form of Elemental Hero Tempest descended in a gale of wind. Jaden revealed a spell card.
'I play Equivalent Exchange. This is how it works, if I give you a monster, spell, or trap, you two give me the same, property and all. So here, take this, my Cursed Twin Dolls spell.' Jaden said, tossing the card to Rick.
Catching it, he made a face of disgust before tossing Jaden a spell card of his own. Jaden caught it and looked at it.
'Ah, another A. Forces. Matters little. This ends for you provided you answer a single question. What would you do with your brothers if you found out they had molested some girls here?'
The two men were taken aback but Rick shot off his mouth before thinking.
'I'd ask him why he didn't make them his bitches yet.' Rick said snidely making many assembled to gasp.
'While not as crude as my friend here, I would ask the same thing.' Lucius said with a dismissive tone. 'Women should be fawning and begging to be the girlfriend or future wife of a professional duelist. That's all they're good for really, to be nothing but eye candy for the cameras.'
Jaden's bangs fell over his eyes, a black aura covering his frame. He looked at the two with dead eyes.
Chancellor Sheppard Ygopro Deck Plans
'You know..another boy thinks like you two do. He lost to a girl..and any respect I had for him when he opened his mouth. He thinks himself important..but now..he and you two..shall realize just how you fucked up. I play my Trap Booster Spell, discarding the A. Forces card you gave me, Grange. Oh don't worry, it goes to your grave, not mine.'
The card returned to Rick's hand who slid it in to his graveyard. Jaden then revealed a trap that he called Forced Casting. He explained that he could declare a Spell card's name and if it was in either of their hands, it would activate regardless of the turn.
'Cursed Twin Dolls.' Jaden said.
Keith played the card and cringed at the sight of the eerie dolls. Everyone else shuddered too as Jaden explained that one of the dolls contained a gift and the other contained a curse.
It was a fifty-fifty shot.
Shame they didn't count on the spirits of the card.
They told their king that the gift was in the red case and the curse in the black. Jaden chose the red one and was rewarded. He explained that for every card that would now go to his grave, he would gain two hundred life points. The red box revealed a black miasma that shot into the two's graves. The entire contents of their graves were brought to the field with Jaden explaining that the monsters could neither attack or defend but still treated as monsters on the field. Same with the various spells and traps that floated about.
'Now, I play Double Summon. This allows me to summon once more this round. I'll follow that up with with Dark De-Fusion and break up my Maelstrom back into the three monsters that made him.'
(Dark De-Fusion – Type/Spell/Quick-play. Send 1 Fiend-Type Fusion monster that was summoned by the effect of 'Dark Fusion'. Return it to the Extra deck and Special Summon from the Grave the Fusion Material monsters.)
Vanishing in a vortex, the three Heroes returned, all in attack mode. As one, they looked back at Jaden and nodded. Returning the nods with his own, the King pulled out the single card, the feeling of dread returning.
'I now sacrifice Bubbleman, Sparkman and Avian. It's time..my old friend. Time to reveal who we are and what we can do.'
'Time? Time for what?' Lucius asked, confused.
'Time to summon a monster..a monster that is on par if not surpasses the Three Egyptian Gods.'
That made everyone start to murmur and Crowler to loudly proclaim that there were no such cards. Everyone that wanted his expulsion agreed and said that Jaden was simply summoning Gilford the Lightning. Jason, on the other hand, shook his head.
'Show them all, Jaden.' The Professor said, bracing himself against the chair he was in.
'You deny it..but I have proof. Come forth and consume the unworthy.'
The skies outside grew pitch black and the winds began to moan.
'Bathe this field in fire and darkness.'
The winds went from a moan to a whine, the trees blowing and creaking. The seas began to roil and froth.
'Let loose your unholy roar and rise.'
The winds became high pitch, shaking the school's walls and making many students to feel dread. The seas crashed against the rocks.
'Rise.'
Lightning split the skies, thunder boomed. The winds became a gale, several trees flying out of the earth.

However, as has been noted for the past two years since its initial release, the title is not without its occasional hiccups, so I’ve been more than fair with my appropriate scoring I believe.
'RISE.'
The earth shook violently, the inactive volcano began to smoke and belch fire. Many students held on tight to whatever they could get their hands on; chairs, walls, railings, anything. Zane watched, his knuckles white and eyes wide.
'RISE! WICKED ERASER!'

With a mighty crash of thunder, a scream of wind, a moan of earth, and an explosion of fire, Jaden played the black card. Hellfire erupted around the arena, the skies becoming so black it was night. The fires surrounded the three, coiling around them like snakes. Rick and Lucius danced around to avoid the fires, feeling the intense cold coming from them as they panicked.
The fires raced to Jaden, consuming him much to the horror of the school.
The fire gave way revealing a long black tail that was coiled around the arena. Several spikes came next, making many be reminded of Slifer the Sky Dragon. A large silver chest came out, more spikes present. Two massive black wings unfurled, casting off the black fire as two arms formed, four claws on each one; three on the top of the hand with a single one on the end. The head was made last, a massive silver head with two blood red eyes. The beast lowered its head, unleashing a shrill cry.
Fonda, Alexis, Jasmine, and Mindy all started. That cry! It was the same cry that they had heard two nights ago!
The entire school watched, awe and terror present in their faces. The black fires were all gone, save for the ones around Jaden. Slowly, they retreated to reveal the boy. Further and further they retreated showing that Jaden was now dressed in black and gold medieval knight-esque armor with six tendril-like spikes, two jutting out of the armor's back and four jutting out of the shoulders, a headdress with a tall collar and a floor-length red cape. On his arm was a duel disk with a single dragon's eye in the center. The face mask of the helmet was put up to reveal the golden eyes of the teen.
Rick and Lucius jaws dropped.
'N-no way..' Rick stammered out.
'The Supreme King of the Ring?' Lucius asked.
'Yes..Jaden Yuki, Supreme King of the Ring.' Jaden said in his cold, monotone voice.
Jaden explained to the shocked school that he had been hired by a group of concerned parents whose children went missing here at the Academy. Given that he was around the same age as the incoming year, he was able to blend in to look for the missing sons and daughters. He glared at Crowler who scrambled back in shock.
'But I find myself attacked on all sides by the foolish and the arrogant. I was looking forward to seeing the next generation of Pros, but all I see are fools with a few exceptions.' Jaden said, turning back to the duel. 'Now, to explain my Eraser, this beast is the Wicked counterpart to Slifer the Sky Dragon. He gains a thousand points for every card you control.'
Rick and Lucius both did some quick math; Rick had his Arthur and one Equip cards; that was two thousand right there. Lucius had The A. Forces and Blademaster. That was another two thousand.
Eraser – ATK/4000
'Shit, that's not bad..but with the right cards, we can still win Lucius! Think about it! The two duelists who defeated the Supreme King of the Ring, our reputations will reach legendary status! We'd be the King of Games from that single act alone!' Rick said.
'Yeah, the fame and prestige..we can do this Rick!'
'Pride goeth before Destruction, a haughty spirit before the fall.' Jaden quoted. 'But if you think you can take down my Eraser, by all means go ahead. I'll end my turn so make your move Rick..and make it count.'
'Why would he do that?! His Eraser is weaker!' Mindy exclaimed in shock.
'I think Jaden has let the power of this monster go to his head..' Jasmine said, shaking her head.
'No..I don't think that's it..there's something we're missing here..' Alexis said, thinking hard.
Rick drew his card and looked at it. Seeing it was what he needed, he revealed two cards.
'I play the Spell card, Warrior's Pride! This spell increases the power of my Arthur by five hundred!'
Arthur – ATK/3900 → 4400
'I'll follow that up with Megamorph! Since my LP is lower then yours, King, I can double my Arthur's power!'
Arthur – ATK/4400 x2 → 8800
Eraser – ATK/4000 + 1000 → 5000
'Now fall! Arthur attack!'
The young king charged forward, the legendary blade glowing with power. With a single jump, the monster rose into the air. Eraser let out its shrill cry again, its wings spread wide open. The school was reminded of a knight facing down a massive dragon. The white glowing blade let out a slash of pure energy, smashing into the monster.
A massive explosion of dust and darkness erupted. Rick and Lucius both cheered, dancing together in giddiness. Everyone of the school who hated Jaden began to cheer and clap, even Crowler, once again forgetting about what happened to four members of the school.
Bastion though was deep in thought.
That seemed too easy. There was also Jaden's usage of Cursed Twin Dolls. I mean, I know that he gains six hundred LP thanks to his three monsters, but what else did he gain? The only thing he really did was put all of Rick's and Lucius' monsters', traps, and spells back on the field.
The slap of realization hit Bastion hard. He quickly stood up, staring in shock. He quickly counted the number of cards on the field. The numbers made him realize with cold terror that Jaden wasn't done yet.
Another shrill cry made everyone celebrating stop and stare. The dust cloud revealed the massive shadow of Wicked Eraser, its eyes glowing red. There was a thin scar on the armor of the monster. Stein voiced the question that was on everyone's mind.
'How did it survive?! It was weaker then Arthur!' Stein questioned.
'Cursed Twin Dolls.' Bastion breathed out.
'What?'
'What you talkin' about, Bass?'
'Yeah! How do those creepy dolls factor in?'
Bastion swallowed hard and explained. He stated Cursed Twin Dolls effect made the monsters, spells and traps return to the field. All while it exceed the limit of five. In other words, since they weren't technically 'alive', the ghosts were counted as cards under Rick's and Lucius's control.
Zane's jaw dropped as he overheard.
'There's more then what the two thought on the field.' He said shocked.
Rick's Field: 31
Lucius Field: 27
Eraser – ATK/5000 → 0 → 65000
'Sixty..sixty..sixty' Rick and Lucius stammered out in shock.
'Sixty-five thousand attack points?!' Everyone exclaimed.
Jaden laughed cruelly, ordering Eraser to counter attack. From the mouth of the Eraser, a massive black fireball took form. Arthur, seeing the monster still around, charged forward again. He managed to run up the body of the serpent, raising its blades to cleave the head in two.
Sadly for the Noble King, the fireball was launched. The black fire absorbed the light around it like a black hole, consuming the King who let out a pained wail before fading away. Rick watched in growing horror as the blast sped to him.
'NOOOOOOOOO~!' Rick screamed, the fire consuming him.
The explosion made the entire arena crack, the minor pro flung back into the wall and leaving an imprint. He fell to the ground, smoking and charred, his disk cracked and sparking. Lucius looked at his old friend in shock, fear overriding his mind. He turned back to the King, who was simply staring. Noble King Arthur and Megamorph joined the field of ghosts, the energy coming off of them entering Eraser.
Rick:0/Lucius: 8000/Jaden: 12850
Listlessly, Lucius drew his card. His entire frame shook with fear something Jaden sensed and pounced on.
'Now you see. The difference between a peasant and a king. I thought you were brave, Lucius..not so tough without your buddy backing you up. You thought you knew power..HA. Your power is a joke; always has, always will be.'
Lucius saw his trembling hand and began to cry. This wasn't suppose to go this way..he and Rick were suppose to win! Beat the King and gain fame! But this..this monster..NO! This DEMON of a card was staring him down, growing stronger with each card that he plays! He blearily looked at his hand and felt more terror grip him.
He had no means of defeating the creature. Numbly, he switched Blademaster into defense and played another monster in facedown defense mode. He ended his turn right there.
Eraser – ATK/65000 → 66000
'Now you see the difference between us.' Jaden said, drawing. 'Your brothers felt the same despair and terror that night when I decimated Titan.'
Looking at his hand, Jaden shook his head and ordered Eraser to attack. Once more, the black hellfire smashed into the Blademaster, destroying it and joining the ghostly spirits.
'I'll set this card facedown and end.'
Lucius drew, but did not play a card. Nothing he had would destroy that God before him. He looked back at Rick's still knocked out body and then back at the King. He heard the rumors..but now he was witness to it. He fell to his knees, panting.
'I..I..I end..'
Crowler's jaw dropped. Lucius was one of his more prodigal duelists and here he was..on his knees panting in fear. Jaden drew and laughed.
'I told you Crowler..I wouldn't just defeat your chosen duelists..I would ANNHILATE them!' Jaden said, revealing a spell card. 'I'm using The Warrior Returning Alive to regain my Sparkman. Then with my Dark Fusion card I played facedown, I fuse Sparkman with Clayman to summon Evil Hero Lightning Golem!'
The darker hero came down in a clash of thunder and sparks. The Hero looked up at Wicked Eraser and bowed low before the beast. The Eraser nodded at the hero, showing its respect. Jaden used the effect of his Golem to destroy the facedown monster Lucius had, revealing it to be Obnoxious Celtic Guardian. Lucius didn't react at all when his monster joined the ghostly procession.
'And now..the grand finale. Golem, attack this broken fool.'
The Evil Hero charged up its primary attack and let the ball of lightning go. It smashed into the prone duelist who let out a short cry of pain.
Rick:0/Lucius: 6600/Jaden: 13450
'Now my old friend..put him out of his misery.'
Wicked Eraser roared, the black hellfire beam launched at Lucius. The explosion rocked the entire island and sent everyone to the floor. When the smoke and dust settled, they saw the arena was decimated, the half with Rick and Lucius completely destroyed. Lucius was now next to Rick, his own disk cracked and sparking.
Rick:0/Lucius:0/Jaden: 13450 (WINNER)
The armor that Jaden wore melted back into his usual clothing, the boy looking up at Wicked Eraser.
'Thank you, old friend.'
The monster gave out a shrill cry and returned to the card. Everyone looked at the boy in shock and some in fear. That soon changed when Syrus and Chumley began to clap and cheer. Soon the entire school was doing it save for the ones who hated Jaden even that was muted.
Jerome himself was shaking uncontrollably; he had the Supreme King of the Ring in his dorm!? He should have been the only one getting the tutelage the king offered. He quickly left the arena stands, several others following after him. Sheppard stood up and smiled.
'Well, in all my years, I have never seen a duel quite like that..'
'Chancellor! That card must be confiscated right away!' Crowler interrupted only for Professor Jason to butt in.
'Crowler, were you born stupid? The Wicked Gods chose their duelist..and the Eraser obviously chose Jaden. Trying to take them would be disastrous.' Jason said coldly.
'But-!' Crowler sputtered.
'BUT NOTHING!' Sheppard bellowed, making everyone jolt. 'Crowler, you are on VERY thin ice after the recent fiasco. No one will be taking that card or any others like it from the boy!'
Turning to Jaden, he smiled kindly.
'On behalf of the school, Jaden, thank you for dealing with Titan. I hope you enjoy your stay here, Supreme King of the Ring.'
'Don't worry, I intend to.' Jaden said. 'And please..call me Jaden.'
The boy got off the arena and walked out. Several paramedics came by and got Rick and Lucius onto a gurney before taking off for the medical wing. Up in the stands, Alexis, Jasmine, and Mindy all sighed.
'Ah man..intense.' Jasmine said.
'I'm just glad Jaden is staying.' Mindy said.
'Here, here.' Alexis agreed.
Seeing a chance, Zane spoke up.
'Never thought I see the day Alexis Rhodes gained a crush.' Zane said, a teasing smile on his face.
That made Alexis blush and the two girls to laugh.
EODGX
Mainland
Far from Duel Academy, a large tower with the letters KC emblazoned on it sat. This was Kaiba Corporation, Seto Kaiba's palace of power. Currently, the twenty-eight year old was sitting at his desk in a suit, looking over several reports. The doors to his office opened up to reveal an eighteen year old Mokuba Kaiba who was looking concerned.
'Seto, have you gotten the latest from Central Duel Academy?' Mokuba asked.
'No.' Seto replied, not looking up from his work.
'You should, bro. It's..not good.' Mokuba said, handing over a pad. 'Also, we got a massive energy spike from the island..almost like a God card was played.'
That made Seto look up in shock. Taking the pad, he began to read. What he read both disturbed and enraged him; Titan had managed to get on his island and cause several students to vanish. One student managed to stop him, but was caught and forced to duel in a expulsion duel. Whats more is that the energy spike was similar to a God card as Mokuba said. But that was impossible.
What was going on at one of his schools?
'Mokuba, you're in charge until I get back. I'm going there to find out what the hell is happening at Central.' Seto said, standing up.
Mokuba nodded, watching his brother walk out.
Duel Academy better watch out. A pissed off Seto Kaiba was coming.
Yep, I went there. Kaiba himself is heading to Central DA to figure out what's going on at his school.
A tad different then the original, but I think I did it justice. For those wonder, the effect of Wicked Eraser is actually pulled from the awesome computer Duel simulation, YGOPro. When I saw read the effects of Eraser from Yugioh R's manga, I cringed. It didn't seem to do it justice at all. So, I went with the YGOPro effect.
Hope you enjoyed.
