Duel Academy Arc 1, Chapter 1-10.


A/N: What is this? A Yugioh Story on the blog again! It has been a long time since then and this is due to Power Guild which is still going on. However, the notes are taking longer than expected. This may be due to my laziness which is mostly likely the reason. I decided to do this along with a new Pokemon Story because I decided to relieve my past and also have some god dam content. I'm sorry about that.

Now, I'm not going to lie about this because I don't lie about my story telling sometimes because I'm only human.It won't be that much different from other Yugioh Stories because I hate change but thanks to my writing growing over time on here, it will be better written. It will have P.O.V and I think that it will be in Power Guild. I'm still thinking how I will do so if you don't see them, I don't have an idea how to do it. I promise that this will be good and a read.

This story stars a character like Bob as the main character. Now what do I mean by that. Bob isn't in this story since he is the main star of Power Guild and Power and Natsu is the star of Soul. Our main protagonist is like Bob in so many ways but he isn't Bob. It is like how Digimon and Pokemon are alike in many ways. I mean they have many difference that make them unique but to others, it makes them look like the same from an outside perspective. I will do the best at describing things but I have done this so many times so look back there for characters description. It goes like Level, Attack, and Defense points for monster. (8/2000/3800). When a monster gets a boost, it is like this (8/2000/3800-8/2500/3800).  If there are little mistakes like spelling errors or different texts, I blame my lazy nature but I will do my best to try and clean them up but this is ten episodes in a row.

I know that makes no sense but it will be like Bob is in this story but it isn't what so ever. Lets talk about how I'm doing this story. The CC (Custom Cards) will be at the bottom of the whole thing like Soul has new characters introduced in the story for a comparison. I am lazy as you all know by that now I hope. This story will be like a mixture of the Anime and Manga by the way. I also own nothing beside the characters and cards. Anyway lets begin about one month into the school year of Duel Academy during Late August or Early September. I changed Twilight Rose Knight level by one to level four and Cyber Blader's level by one to level six.

This AU (Alternative Universe) will have the stuff that was in Yugioh GX such as Fusion, Ritual, and Tribute Summon but this one will have Synchro and XYZ/Xyz summon. I like these two because the two didn't change the formula unlike Pendulum Summon. This may be just my opinion but I don't like it all. I mean it may just because I haven't seen the Anime which looks interesting because we see old characters from the previous four seasons of the show which looks awesome.

So expect to see everything beside Pendulum Summon. Oh and future warning, here is a character named Raku and he is going to be the but monkey of the series for two reasons. One is that I'm making Chazz like how he is in the manga and when I starting writing this, Nisekoi just ending and if you followed the series through its many downs and that ending. I am a little pissed off about that stuff so if you hate Raku like I do, enjoy the hate. Also I may end this series for no reason whatsoever so expect something good and then nothing else after it.

Arc 1- Beginning Days at Duel Academy. Chapter 1-Chapter 10.
Chapter 1: Admission Exams!
Unknown P.O.V.
I was in the middle of an empty field. I walked around the field looking for any sign of life and I saw a temple right in front of me. It was a temple that looked abandoned and extremely worn thanks to father time. I walked toward it and I said,"Why is this here?". I walked deeper inside with me pulling a flashlight from my bag and I looked around to see that the walls was covered in strange markings. I placed my left hand onto it and the marking glowed a bright green.

I covered my eyes and I saw that the room was glowing a mint green thanks to the markings. I turned out my flashlight and I kept walking down the hallway. I noticed that the hallway was getting longer by the second and I stopped to catch my breath. I sat down and I wanted to find whatever this temple hid its wall. After my break, I found an altar where a tablet was on the top of it. I walked up the stars and I saw the tablet.

Unlike the walls, I could actually read the markings. It had a picture of a woman standing there. She was holding a magic staff in her left hand. She had a warm smile on her face and I decided to touch the tablet. My body fell down in pain as the tablet glowed pink. "You have to accept your destiny now. This is all your fault." said a cryptic voice. I was grabbed by some demons that were painted on the whole and I screamed.

Narrator P.O.V.
Welcome to Domino City aka the home of some world famous duelist of the game Duel Monsters aka Seto Kaiba aka the CEO of the named Kaiba Corporation, Joey Wheeler who has an immense amount of luck on his side, and the king of games himself Yugi Moto. It is also home to the Kaiba Dome and it is the location where some young and upcoming duelist plan to apply to the number one dueling school in the world Duel Academy.

One such student is heading there right now. His name: Shawn Alvarez. "Okay. Time to show this school how to power up!" said Shawn. He looked over his deck while walking up the hill to the Kaiba Dome. He was wearing the second edition of the Kaiba Corporation Duel Disk that he got on his 12th birthday since his custom duel disk was in the shop on his right arm. He was listing to some music on his phone and he said,"Man. I love this song.".

Shawn was 5 foot 10 inches with black and white hair. The bottom portion of his hair is a black color and the center and top portion of his hair is a white color. It looks like Jaden's hair with the orange color being the white color and the dark brown color being the black color. He wore a black t-shirt with a weird symbol of a magic wand, navy blue jeans with a black leather belt, and black and white sneakers that matched his hair. He has gold eyes which were natural.

He got there and he registered for the tests. He didn't like having his deck examined because this deck toke forever to make. He was shown to the field where all new and old applicants where hanging out watching duels. He saw that they were either wearing blue, red, or yellow jackets. 'I guess those must be the Academy Students or my future rivals! Man, I feel the energy and I'm getting powered up right now!' thought Shawn.

He looked down and he saw that a duel was going on. He saw a boy around his age wearing a grayish white school uniform and he was up against a dueling proctor. On the field had the Gear Golem, the Moving Fortress (4/800/2200) and the Big Shield Gardna (4/100/2600). The monster on the student's field is Vorse Raider (4/1900/1200) and a face down card. "Okay new kid! You got three choices. You can give up, beg for sympathy, or cry to your mommy!" said the proctor.

Shawn said,"Man. There is a sure fire way to win this. This guy would be an idiot if he gave up to this guy.". "I choose the fourth answer! None of the above!" said the boy. He pressed a button on his duel disk with him saying,"I now activate the trap card. You see with Ring of Destruction, this lets me destroy a monster in attack mode and we take damage equal to its current attack points. I pick my Vorse Raider!".

A ring of red bombs appeared around the monster's neck and it went kaboom upon impact. The boy's life points went down to 1300 and the proctor failed before him ending the duel. The proctor smiled as he said,"A good move. Welcome to the Academy brat.". 'I'm impressed. This guy is something else because sacrificing my monster is something that I can't do whatsoever but he was sure about that move." thought Shawn.

Up in the stands, he saw three boys wearing Obelisk Blue Academy blazers who just watched the duel with passion. "Wow. That guy was good right Chazz?" said the bluenette with glasses. "He is a punk." said the boy who they were calling Chazz. He had spiky black hair which reminded Shawn of a sea urchin. "We went to Duel Monsters Prep for three years. We're so ready for the academy and these kids are going to get schooled the Chazz Princeton Way." said Chazz.

'Chazz Princeton? He must be related to the Princeton family. Oh well, that isn't going to stop me for showing these prep kids how to power up and money can't buy you game.' thought Shawn. "Would Shawn Alvarez please report to Dueling Field #2," said a voice over the PA. "I repeat would Shawn Alvarez to Dueling Field # 2.". 'Time to power up!' thought Shawn as he headed toward the area. He hummed a tune on the way there.

Meanwhile in another part of the dome, a short light blue haired boy got finished watching Bastion's duel as another teenager with dark red hair and gray eyes stood there. "Man. That guy rocked out there.". Syrus looked at him and he said,"Yeah. His name is Bastion Misawa. I heard that he got a perfect written score on his written exams out of all of us new students.". "Wow. I just got lucky you know. The name is Nicholas Conner or Nick." said Nick.

"Same here. The name is Syrus Truesdale by the way. It's nice to meet you." Syrus then looked away while being somewhat depressed. "I kinda have this thing where I get test anxiety, I don't know how I even won my duel.". "That's awesome! You made it!" said Nick who slapped Syrus on the back. "It is a honor to meet a fellow student. I just got to have my duel and then I'll be with it.". "Wait. What are you taking about Nick?" said Syrus.

Nick said,"I haven't duel yet so?". "You may be in trouble since Bastion was one of the last duels and this one is going to be the last duel which is starting right now." said the boy as he turned back to the duel arena where Shawn's duel was about to begin. Shawn rose from an raised platform with him wearing his duel disk. Another platform rose a woman who looked sexy stood there. She looked at Shawn who tried to hide his smirk.

"Alright student. What is your name?" said the woman. "My name is Shawn Alvarez and I'm single with me looking for love." said Shawn. "You know that attitude toward an instructor isn't allowed at this school right? So you know the rules right? You win, you're in. If you lose, try again next year boy." said the woman while activating his duel disc. "Oh. These is no doubt that I'm going to win so time to power up!" said Shawn. He turned on his duel disk as the two said,"Duel!".

Proctor: 4000 Life Points.
Shawn: 4000 Life Points.

"You don't mind if I go first right hottie?" said Shawn while drawing his five cards and about to start his drawing phase. "I don't mind but act mature." said the woman. "Gotcha!" said Shawn. He looked at his hand and he said,"I first set a monster face down defense mode and let you have a good. Trust me, this move is going to be powerful.". A card appeared in front of Shawn and it was face down as the woman looked at it.

She said,"Not a bad move. My draw.". She looked at a card and then at her opponent's field. 'I don't think he has a good opening move so he placed a weak monster to keep his life points in tact. I will destroy his plan quick.' thought the woman. She placed in a green card as she said,"I play the spell card and I fuse Gazelle, the King of Mythical Beasts and Befomet to form...". Shawn saw that two monsters stood there.

One was a beast that had brown fur and on all fours and a sharp horn on its head. The other one was a four-armed, red beast with yellow horns on its head. The two swirled around in a vortex for only a few seconds and then reappeared a single monster. A two-headed monster with faces of the monster that formed stood on all fours with two white wings and a tail that was a snake. "Chimera the Flying Mythical Beast (6/2100/1800)!".

Shawn said,"No way! One of Yugi's monster?! That is awesome!". "Oh. You will see how fun this is going to be. Attack his face down card Chimera!" said the woman. The beast roared as it flew over to the face down card. It chomped into the card only to revealed the monster. It was a giant wall made of bricks with human like features. (4/0/4000). The mythical beast was blasted back by the impact and it was injured. "What is that?!" said the woman.

"This right here is known as the Wall! he can't attack but he can defend for sure. Check out his 4000 defense points. He is the strongest in defense and he is one of my faves." said Shawn. "That was very impressive move boy. I will end my turn by setting down a face down card and end my turn." said the woman. The card appeared the damaged and tired beasts as Shawn said,"Okay. Time to draw a new card!".

Proctor: 2100 life points.
Shawn: 4000 Life Points.

He drew a card and he said,"I hope that this doesn't hurt my chances.". "What do you mean?" said the woman. "You see. I play the spell Mystical Space Typhoon!" said Shawn. A cyclone appeared and it went right through the face down card. "Next, I play De-Fusion! Time to bring those two beasts back to the game!" said Shawn. Chimera suddenly flashed a orange color and it went back into Gazelle the King of Mythical Beasts (4/1500/1200) and Berfomet (5/1400/1800).

Shawn said,"I play the spell card Pot of Greed. I shouldn't have to explain what this card does.". He drew two cards from his desk as he said,"I now send my Wall to the grave so I can summon one of my magicians. By sending my Wall to the grave, I can summon the one and only Blaze Wizard and he is a beast!". Suddenly, this lights went out. "Hey! What the hell is going on? The lights busted or something?" said someone in the crowd.

Shawn said,"Don't worry. This is just the start of his show. Lets go!". Suddenly, seven colored flames appear in the air above the duel field. They combine to make a fire pillar heading toward the ground with them causing a huge explosion of flames. It blinded the crowd as a wizard stood there in front of Shawn. He had light tanned skin with his magician's cloak showing off his muscles and his abs. He had fiery red hair and matching eyes and he smirked. (6/2400/1800).

The monster said,"Yo man! This girl is banging! Ask her out already!". "He is a bit a showoff but we love him." said Shawn who smiled. "Is he part of the Wizards Council that came out recently? You're the kid who won the create several new archetypes from scratch contest a couple of months ago. Am I right?" said the woman. "And she's smart! Ask her out for me instead." said the wizard. The crowd then started to murmur about the recent contest.

It was a very simple designing contest by Industrial Illusions set up a few months ago. It was obvious who won. "Wow. Those cards look pretty rare." said Syrus staring at the wizard. "So do you see that guy flexing too or what?" said Nick. "Huh?" said Syrus. "Oh nothing Sy. I really want to duel that guy and his deck for sure along with that girl god dam Sy." said Nick. "You are talking about Shawn Alvarez right?" said a voice.

The two saw Bastion taking a spot in front of Syrus as he said,"He is a smart young man. He defeated my score in the written exam barely.". "Wow. He is really smart." said Sryus. "Yeah. He is. That was a sick duel by the way Bastion." said Nick. "Thank you." said Bastion. "I guess that you're the second best duelist here!" said Nick. "You guys can talk later! Duel about to start!" said Syrus. "Yup and this is his first duel so please be gentle." said Shawn.

The wizard said,"You don't have to gentle with me hottie! Lets go Shawn!". "Right Axel! Lets show that overgrown beast your fiery inferno!" yelled Shawn. Axel smirked as he aimed his staff right at Befomet with him saying,"Burn baby burn!". The fire came out of his wand and it exploded. "You must know that some of my wizards have a special effect. Since he destroyed a monster, I gained the difference in attack points as life points." said Shawn.

Proctor: 1000 Life Points.
Shawn: 5000 Life Points.

Axel snapped his fingers as Shawn was covered in a golden flame. "That isn't a bad move. I didn't expect to see my monster be burned alive. I'm not done yet." said the woman. "I hope not. I end my turn by playing a face down." said Shawn. A card appeared behind Axel who blew a fire kiss to the woman. "My move!" said the woman. She drew a card as she said,"I sacrifice my Gazelle to summon my Brain Golem in attack mode!".

Suddenly, a weird brain like monster appeared and she said,"Destroy him!". Axel said,"You'll avenge me Shawn!". He was hit by the two tentacles and Shawn said,"You fought hard. May your flame burn bright pal.". "Okay then. I end my turn." said the woman. "Okay! My draw!" said Shawn. He drew a card and he looked at his hand. 'I do think your death helped Axel. Time to show everyone how to power up!' thought Shawn.

Proctor: 1000 Life Points.
Shawn: 4900 Life Points.

Shawnsmirked as he said,"I play my face down card! It is known as Call of the Wizard. This works like Foolish Burial but this lets me bring one of my wizard from my deck to the grave!". He placed a card in the graveyard slot as he said,"I send my Bright Wizard to the grave.". He reshuffled his deck as he placed back inside. "I now summon her counterpart! Lets me show you the power of Shadow Wizard!" said Shawn.

In a burst of darkness, a wizard stood there. She wore a black robe with him being different from the previous wizard. She has long dark black hair with gray eyes. "Why did you bring me out here? You could have brought out someone else but no you had to pick me. And the hell not my sister?" said the wizard who sighed. (4/1600/1600). "You need to be way more confident Gloria! I activate her special effect." said Shawn.

A bright light covered his duel disk and Shawn said,"You see, She hates to be alone so she gets to let me bring back a wizard from my grave and I pick Light Wizard.". A extremely bright light appeared and a woman stood there. She was similar to Axel but she showed off a lot of her body much to the boy's joy. She had blond hair and blue eyes. "Did you have to wear that sister? I mean they are staring at you and they are perverts." said Gloria.

The girl said,"But Gloria! It was so dark and you need to be more confident!". (4/1600/1600). "I hate to be rude but I don't think those two have a chance against my fiend." said the woman. "She needs to go down Shawn." said Bright. "Helen is right. We need to avenge Axel." said Gloria. "Right! I got another trick up my sleeves! Check it out!" said Shawn. He held a card and he said,"Time to use my fusion card Polymerization and I fuse my wizards together to make Twilight Wizard!".

"Alright!" said the two. They jumped together into the air and they covered the field in both light and darkness. A new wizard stood there and she was amazing. She had long black and blond hair with it being half and half. She wore a cloak that exposed her body and the crowd cheered louder for her with her smiling. (8/2600/2600). "So what were you saying teach?" said Shawn. She was stunned and the wizard smirked.

Shawn said,"Stunned right? She does that. I now play the equip card Magician's Spirit! This will help out my girl by giving her an extra 400 attack and defense points!". (8/2600-3000/8/2600-3000). The woman glowed as Shawn said,"Show her your Sunset Beam!". "Right Shawn!'"said the woman. She fired a beam from her staff causing the fiend to exploded causing the proctor to lose 500 life points. "I end my turn with a face down. Your turn teach." said Shawn.

The woman said,"Why did you play an ATK-increasing card when your monster was already superior but you should have saved it.". "Why?" said Shawn. He saw her holding Lightning Vortex. "Man. It's bad news." said Shawn. "You know its effects right. By sending one card to the grave, your witch is sent to the graveyard!" said the proctor. Lightning came out and it caused the woman to scream out in pain from the powerful blast.

Chazz was in the standing laughing,"Let's see whatever his name was handle that.". The witch stood there and she said,"Psych!". "What is the meaning of this?" said the woman. "Well, that spell would have worked but my Sunset Wizard is safe thanks to her magic spirit aka Magician's Spirit. This helps her be immune to spell cards." said Shawn. "You were too calm back when I told you about saving your cards." said the woman.

She took a deep breath and she said,"That was a bad move on my part. I end my turn by summoning my Giant Solider of Stone in defense mode.". The stone solider with two stone swords appeared and protected himself with his arms. (3/1300/2000). "My time! Sweet!" said Shawn. "I activate the spell card Blaze Inferno! This spell can destroy any monster on the field that I want and I pick rocky! Lets get powered up!" said Shawn.

A huge flame ball appear with the wizard on the field hit it with her staff. It destroy the monster and Shawn said,"Time to end this duel with a magical finale! Ready Stacey?!". "I'm always ready Shawn and whatever you do." said Stacey. She fired a huge burst of light mixed with darkness as it exploded causing the duel to be over and the female proctor to be knocked back from it. The wizard smiled as she disappeared.

Proctor: 0 life points. 
Shawn: 4900 life points, Winner!

The woman saw Shawn with his hand in front of her and he said,"That was a pretty cool duel despite Axel being destroy but he'll get over it.". "Thanks. Welcome to Duel Academy." said the woman. She walked away as Shawn said,"Man. She is a strange one but hot.". He went down the elevator and he felt his pocket. He noticed a piece of paper with a phone number and he said,"Alright. I got a girl's number and dam is she amazing!".

Up in the stands, some people were watching Shawn's duel as well. A girl with dirty/sandy blonde hair that ended at the bottom of her neck with grayish-brown eyes and she was wearing the Obelisk Blue girl uniform aka a white sleeveless top with blue trimmings. a navy blue miniskirt that left little to the imagination, and royal blue boots. Her name is Alexis Rhodes. She stood next to a boy who had blue hair that went to his neck as well with his bangs near his blue eyes.

He was also wearing the Obelisk Blue Uniform just like Alexis and Chazz but it was more white than blue. His name is Zane Truesdale and he was the number one student at Duel Academy. "Wow. That was an interesting duel. His wizards look pretty strong and he isn't too bad himself." said Alexis who saw the duel ending. Zane was silent and he didn't want to give into the conversation. He did expect a lot from Shawn for a reason.

Below them, in the VIP seats from the teachers, they saw Shawn leaving the area. "We got a good batch this year." said a teacher. "You're right." said a teacher. Nearby them, a teacher wasn't really paying attention at all. He could be a woman from first glance if you had no idea about who he was and he hated that. He was wearing a blue blazer just like Chazz but had gold shoulder plates and also matching trimmings along with a ruffled pink color.

He had his blond hair styled in a ponytail and he wore makeup. This is Dr. Vellian Crowler who is the Headmaster of Obelisk Blue Boys Dorm. 'Hmm, another student signed for the academy. At least he didn't lost that many life points. I don't like how he was flirting with a woman older than him but he is worthy of Obelisk Blue despite not going to prep school.' thought Crowler. He was about to leave but he was stopped.

"I'm sorry to interrupt, but we have one last applicant has arrived to take his exam Mr. Crowler." said a man in a black business suit who stopped Crowler. "Excuse me. Did you just call me Mister?" said Crowler who almost had a scowl. "I'm sorry. I just started here miss..." said the man. "I have a PHD in dueling to earn the title of doctor thank you very much." said Crowler with him taking his title way too seriously.

He then said after a deep breath,"Now tell him to try again next year.". The other teachers that he was crazy with a teacher who said,"I don't think it will take up that much time Dr. Crowler.". "Yeah. Lets give him a shot." said another teacher. They were pleading to give her a chance as Crowler was about to kill them. "He was just a little late." said another teacher. That comment made Crowler snap,"Late is rude!".

He slammed his hands down and it freaked the people around him. "I've no time to waste on slackers like her!" said Crowler. Suddenly his phone rang. He pulled it out of his book and he answered it with a bored tone,"Hello, who may I ask is...?". Before Crowler could continue, another voice said,"It is Sheppard.". "Ah! Chancellor Sheppard, how nice of you to call!" said Crowler changing his tone to a more pleasant one.

Sheppard said,"I was just checking if everything was going alright. We don't a repeat of last year do you remember what happened?". Crowler got tense as he remember what happened. "When you cut a third of the applicants because someone called you mister or missus? Never mind that, just make sure to give everyone a fair shot okay." said Sheppard. "Yes sir. I will for sure." said Crowler. He scowled after that call.

'Furry-chined blowhard. He knows that we have enough talentless flunkies at this academy but he is the boss around here, I will give that boy a duel.' thought Crowler. He got up from his seat and he said while doing this,"Pardon me gentlemen. I will be right back.". He couldn't go any further but he was stopped by a teacher who held a box filled with Duel Monster Decks. "Sir. We need to decided who will be his proctor and what exam deck we should use?" said the teacher.

Crowler just sighed and he walked away. "Leave it to me." said Crowler. He held a deck that he got from his blazer and he smiled evilly. Back with Nick, Syrus, and Bastion. Nick was fired up after he saw Shawn's duel and he said,"Man. That duel was awesome!". "Indeed. Shawn did quite well but my interest was on those cards of his. They were quite impressive." said Bastion. "I have to say that he is the third best duelist in the freshman class!" said Nick.

The three heard,"Would Nick Conner please report to Dueling Field #4. I repeat would Nick Conner to Dueling Field #4.". "Watch and learn you guys. Time to watch the master at work." said Nick. "What do you mean? You said that I was the second best duelist and Shawn being the third? So who is number one Nick?" said Bastion. "It is me because I can sense how strong a duelist is. Lets watch me get to work you guys." said Nick. He walked to the dueling field.

Syrus said,"He is sure confident about that.". "He better be good Nick because look who he up is against." said Bastion. "Yeah. So who is the hell is she?" said Shawn who was looking down at the field. His clothes were a mess and he had cherry red lipstick on his neck. "HE is Doctor Crowler. He is in charge of the exams here and head of the top dorm in the academy." said Bastion. "Wait?! That is a guy!" yelled Shawn.

Bastion said,"Yes. Good job on your match by the way.". "Why do you have kiss marks?" said Syrus who looked at the ones on Shawn's neck. "Lets just say that I impressed the ladies here and boy she is hot." said Shawn. "I see. So do you guys know what's up with that gear?" said Bastion. "No idea but it is a duel disk." said Shawn. On the field, Dr. Crowler was being prepped and he was ready to duel. The duel disk he was equipped which looked like it was fused into his blazer.

The part that held his graveyard and deck slots were strapped to his chest while the desk tray looked as it was being held as a guitar. He looked like a rock star. "So where is Nick?" said Syrus. "Do you guys know this guy? I heard from that Crowler was forced to let him to begin duel." said Shawn. The boy appeared and Crowler said,"What is your name? It is time for you to take your test!". "My name is Nicholas Conner or Nick." said Nick.

Crowler said,"I didn't ask for your life story Conner. My name is Doctor Vellian Crowler. I'm the Department Chair and Techniques Professor here at Duel Academy.". "Wow!" said Nick who was rubbing the back of his neck with a hearty laugh. "A Department chair, I had no idea. From the way that you were dressed, I totally thought you were the Academy Mascot.". Crowler swea tdropped at that comment.

The boy wearing glasses right next to Chazz said,"Now that you mention it.". "That guy has some lip doesn't he Chazz?" said the other boy. Chazz on the other hand didn't look too pleased at what Nick was saying down there. 'Who does this kid think he is?'. Crowler then activated his what he calls his duel vest and drew five cards. Nick was amazed at the machinery as well as the blazer that Crowler with the teaching knowing that this was going to be easy.

Nick said,"Hey teach. So where do I get one of those?". "Oh a lot of hard work, high marks, and a lot of dedication," Crowler said. "Of course, you have to be accepted first.". He added to himself,'Which I will make sure that you don't.'. "Well, I'm fired up!" said Nick. "So lets duel!" said the two of them as Nick turned on his duel disk. "My turn!" said Nick and he drew his first card while looking at his hand.

Crowler: 4000 Life Points.
Nick: 4000 Life Points.

Nick said,"Nice! I'm going to summon my Elemental Hero Avian in defense mode!". He placed the card down with a green bird like man appearing and he knelt on his card. (3/1000/1000). "And I think a face down will be the perfect ending to my first turn!" said Nick. "Huh. An Elemental Hero Duelist. I see." said Shawn. "What are you talking about Shawn?" said Syrus. "He is using the Elemental Hero archetype which used fusion tactics to win." said Bastion.

Shawn said,"And it is tough to master. Lets see if Nick gots this.". "Alright! Get your game on!" said Nick. "Yes, of course.". said Crowler dismissively while drawing his card. 'You have no right to tell me what to do boy.' he then looked at his hand. 'After all, since I am using my own personal deck rather those weak test decks, I will be calling all of the shots. I will fall that brat and send home flat with no problems.' thought Crowler.

Crowler said,"I think I'll start my turn by playing the spell card Confiscation!". "Okay. So what does that do then?" said Nick. "What it does is allows me to pay 1000 life points to take a look at your hand and toss one of your cards to the graveyard." As his explanation finished, the cards that belong to Nick appeared in front of Crowler. His hand was Monster Reborn, The Warrior Returning Alive, Hero Signal, and Polymerization.

Crowler: 3000 Life Points.
Nick: 4000 Life Points.

"Ah. I remember having these cards when I was your age. So which one should I banish?" said the man. He looked at each card carefully and he made up his mind. "I know. Time to send your Monster Reborn to the grave." said Crowler. The card went to the grave and he said,"I will place two cards face down.". Two cards appeared and he said,"I will continue on with playing Heavy Storm! This spell destroys every other spell and trap that is out of the field!".

A huge wind picked up and Nick's face-down Draining Shield was destroyed along with Crowler's two face down cards. Nick saw this and he said,"Man. I guess you can make a mistake once in a while too. So do you forgot about your cards huh teach?". "I didn't." said Crowler. Nick saw dark clouds cover his side of the field with Nick said,"Hey. What's going on?!". "Nothing is happened but it will soon!".

As he said that, two yellow worm-like creatures appeared on his side of the field. "But that's about to change." said Crowler. The crowd was shocked by those two monsters but Syrus was lost. "So what just happened?" said Syrus. "Those trap cards down there are known as the Statue of the Wicked. It is a special trap card that creates a nasty monster token when it is destroyed by a card's effect. He then played Heavy Storm to activated it." said Bastion.

Shawn said,"You're right about that and thanks to Heavy Storm, I know that this isn't a test desk.". "I am lost again." said Syrus. "Of course! And that goes for a card like Confiscation. The two of them are both rare cards that can change the fight without any serious costs." said Bastion. "What does that mean?" said Syrus. "You serious need to study dueling Sy. It means that this is his main desk. Lucky son of a bitch." said Shawn.

He wasn't the one who figured that out. "Crowler must be using his own deck to duel!". said Torimaki who was the boy with glasses and he was with Chazz. "Then this duel is over. No once can beat the deck of an expert like Dr. Crowler." said Raizou aka the other boy who was with Chazz. "I think I'm going to enjoy this defeat. They should treat the others second rate duelists that apply at the academy the very same way!" said Chazz.

Alexis said,"What an elitist snow, He is bullying some kid with his very best cards!". "You're too nice I just want to see that rare card of his. I wonder if Shawn could beat him." said Zane. "Are you ready for you next lesson?" said Crowler. "Sure thing teach! I can't remember any time that learning was this much fun!" said Nick. "I'm quite the teacher thank you." said Crowler who sound angry about the whole thing.

His monsters were glowing and they exploded in flame. "And I now send my two wicked tokens and I summon my Ancient Gear Golem!" said Crowler. The two worm-like creatures stood a giant robot monster that one could see its gears moving. They were in shock of that monster and it was mainly about its status. (8/3000/3000). "That is it! His legendary card!" said Alexis. "Now. We are going to see what makes it so legendary." said Zane.

Shawn said,"God dam. I don't think I could be able to take down without a fight or maybe one of my monsters.". "Now, now. I hope that you are not too scared of my legendary Ancient Gear Golem. This is going to be good." said Crowler who smiled. Nick however started to smile at this and he said,"It's going to be awesome! And after seeing Shawn duel, I am getting fired up you know!". This shocked the crowd alongside Syrus who said,"He must be brave or crazy!".

Zane said hesitantly,"He is staring down a legendary best like he doesn't give a dam. I guess the youth and inexperience has its benefits after all.". "Be nice Zane. At least the kid is showing some courage you know." said Alexis. "Not much to show after this." said Zane. Crowler started laughing and he said,"Now! Mechanized Melee!". His robot's single eye glowed red and it pulled back its fist as it destroyed the winged hero with one punch.

Syrus said,"Oh man! Nick's monster just get wrecked! I don't think it having in attack mode would be any better!". "And it is going to get much worse." said Bastion. Bastion said,"Don't Syrus. When his monster attacks a monster in defense mode, the difference between its attack points and the defending monster's defense points are dealt to his opponents as damage.". "Which means that Nick is in a huge amount of pain!" said Syrus.

A translucent fist went right through Nick's life points and his body. "Man. Nick isn't doing so good out there. I mean he is half the man that he was a moment ago." said Shawn. Crowler saw that Nick was shaking and laughing. "Don't feel bad at all. After all, this is the top ranked Dueling School in the country with some people simply aren't...." said Crowler but he heard Nick laughing like crazy. It was creepy.

Nick said,"Okay! I really want to go this school now! You really know your stuff!". This actually took the teacher by surprise before he glared at Nick. 'He needs to take a hint! He will not be allowed to pass this test! And he will not make a joke out of my exam!' thought Crowler. 'Just look at him over there. He must be impressed with my skills!' thought Nick. Just as Nick was about to draw his card, he heard a faint cooing sound and he paused for a second before drawing the card and looking at it.

He remembered that it was a card that a man gave him earlier. 'Okay. I'm totally going crazy because I am hearing voices in my head.' thought Nick. He looked at the card and he saw it wink at him. 'Time to summon you I guess.' thought Nick. "Okay! I summon Winged Kuriboh in defense mode!" said Nick. A small furry creature with four green paws and a pair of angelic wings appeared above its card image.

Some of the girls in the crowd noted how cure the creature looked. "Next, I place a card face down so what about that teach?" said Nick. A card appeared the cute monster. "Wow. What a good play. Give him props for that." said Shawn. "What do you mean?" said Syrus. "Wait and learn little buddy. This is going to be good." said Shawn. Crowler started laughing at this and he said,"I'm a master duelist and that monster is rather pathetic in my personal opinion.".

Crowler said after drawing,"Okay! Attack that furball with your mechanized melee!". The monster punched right through the monster and Nick mentally said,'Sorry about that little guy!". "Hey! Your duel disk is broken. Your life points should have changed." said Crowler. "Huh. Oh my gear is fine but your eyes aren't. You see when Winged Kuriboh is destroyed, I take no damage so suck it!" said Nick.

This took Crowler by surprise. He knew that the original Kuriboh could do that but he never thought that this one could do the same thing and the crowd joined in his shock. "Wow. A technique that the good doctor didn't know." said Alexis. "No one can know anything. That one is pretty minor." said Zane. "Well, he knew it." said Alexis. Shawn started laughing,"Man! That was so good! You don't mess with the Kuribohs!".

Crowler said,"Fine. Your lame monster saved you there.". "Wow! You may have lost to him but he isn't at all lame!" said Nick. "Oh sorry. I forgot how attached you duelists get to your new monsters like they are your kids." said Crowler. "Man. That guy needs a smack down you know?" said Shawn who nodded his head. "You'll see what happens when you make fun of him." said Nick. He pressed a button on his duel disk and he said,"You just set off one of my favorite cards aka Hero Signal!".

His trap card activated and a H appeared on the ceiling. "And this lets bring out my second hero! Let me introduce you to my fiery gal! Burstinatrix!" said Nick. A woman with gray colored skin and in a red body suit stood there from a pillar of fire with a smirk. (3/1200/800). She then stood there as Nick drew a card. "Okay! This is for you little buddy!" said Nick. He placed a card from his hand in his spell/trap card zone.

Nick said,"I first bring back Avian back to my hand with the spell card the Warrior Returning Alive and I now summon Avian back to the field!". The winged hero stood there with him smiling upon standing next to Burstinatrix. "Okay. You are just making mistake after mistake! This is good so who wants to tell him what he did....?" said Crowler. Nick said,"I ain't done yet! I know that these two are not powerful to defeat that tin card but together, they can!".

He showed him the last card in his hand to Crowler and he said,"I now play Polymerization! Time to fuse fire and wind together to make....". The two heroes jumped in the air and they swirled together as Nick said,"Lets go Fusion Time!". A monster stood there after its finished fusion session. It had one of Avian's wings with some of Burstinatrix's colors. The only thing that the two didn't have was the obvious dragon hand on the monster's left arm. (6/2100/1200).

"And here he is folks! Time for Elemental Hero Flame Wingman! Hope your tin can is ready for a clash of titan!" said Nick. 'I think this show is done if Nick knows how to play the right card.' thought Shawn with a smirk. "I must say that you're dueling well for a greenhorn but actually try and summon monsters with more attack points than my golem." said Crowler. "What does he mean by that?" said Syrus.

Bastion said,"He means that the wingman make look strong but compared to the golem, it is nothing but a fly. I think that Nick had a chance with that monster.". "Chill guys. Hero Boy is going to do fine. He has this." said Shawn. "A good attempt young man but I'm a very busy man so are you done now? I have things to do." said Crowler. "I'm not done yet!" said Nick. He took the card that he drew and he opened up the field spell slot on his duel disk.

Nick said,"And I know that Wingman is weaker than your robot but by playing this spell! It will help me defeated the tin can! I play the Field Spell Skyscraper!". Several building that belong in cities like New York City came out of nowhere. In the middle of the city, the robot stuck out like Godzilla and the hero was perched on the highest building with its arms crossed. Shawn and the others were just waiting for his next move.

"Okay Flame Wingman! Time to show off those heroics!" said Nick. He looked at the robot and he said,"Lets show him your skydive scorcher!". The hero jumped toward the robot and he launched himself toward the robot. "Okay then. Bring it on. He won't be doing anything to my robot since this city has done nothing to my monster." said Crowler. "Oh. I haven't said anything yet. This city helped my hero by giving him some extra fire power! A 1000 points extra!" said Nick.

Crowler said,"Wait!". The monster hit the robot with a fiery glow. (6/2100-3100/1200). The robot then started to break apart as Crowler said,"Not my best card!". The robot fell apart on Crowler and Shawn said,"I think he doesn't know about his special power.". "Time to show him your fiery after effect! When my hero destroys a monster in attack mode, the damage of the destroyed's monster attack points are dealt to you as damage." said Nick.

Crowler: 0.
Nick: 2000. Winner!

"Huh?!" said Crowler. A huge burst of fire burned the metal and Crowler lost the duel. "And that is game!" said Nick. He pointed his index and middle fingers at Crowler and he said,"So I passed right teach?". A lot of people were shocked to see that Nick won against a teacher in a deck and he was using his own deck. He lost to an amateur. "This is impossible. He was a delinquent." said the man who was stunned.

Up in the stands, Chazz was thinking the same thing. "It was dumb luck. No way Crowler lost to that drudge!" said Chazz through clenched teeth. Alexis smiled at Nick's victory and she said,"He and the other guy have a future here right Zane?". Zane huffed and walked away. "Wow! Jaden won!" yelled Syrus. "Yeah. I knew it but I wish I was in that duel you know. I mean that duel I had despite having a cute girl, it was pretty lackluster compared to mine." said Shawn.

'Nice' thought Bastion as Nick was doing a victory dance. 'I think I have some worthwhile rivals now.'. Nick held out the Winged Kuriboh card and he said,"We got it little buddy. I guess you are going to be my partner.". He heard the card coo and wink at him. Shawn smiled as he said,"See you guys later. I have to go make a call.". "Right. See you." said Bastion. Shawn walked away and he turned on his phone.

He put it up to his ear and he said,"Hey. It's me. Yeah. I'm in and I sense some strong challengers in this school. Don't worry. I'm still focused on the job. Finding the kids that went missing and him is more important to me than some title. I'll call if I have any new info.". He hanged up and he thought to himself,'I promise that I will find you both. Lets get powered up.'. He walked back to the others and he smiled.

Chapter 2: Welcome to Duel Academy. 
Narrator P.O.V.
Three days after the exams, Shawn and the rest of his students that passed the exams were going to be taking a helicopter to Academy Island since that was the fastest way toward the island. However, the copters had a problem being with their engines to the helicopter causing it to be unable to fly so the teachers were forced to find another way to get the students there. The answer was an all-expenses paid curse was the new option.

Shawn didn't care since he got some time to buy some more support for his monsters and he also got to have a date with his proctor. She was actually a nice girl despite Shawn not learning her name at all. He noticed that Nick and a couple were happy about the cruise. He did know why the helicopter was broken and he didn't really care why. He was pumped for all of the duels that he was going to do with his wizards and witches.

He wanted to duel Nick or Hero Boy seeing that his deck was filled with surprise. He couldn't forget about his job. He was sitting on his bed reading a book and he looked up to say,"Hey. So do you find anything or what?". A monster stood there on Shawn's bed and it was the Dark Magician. He crossed his hands and he said,"Nothing at all. We got some strong opponents against us and it was Ryu who had some fun with the helicopter.".

Shawn said,"I guessed that. Tell him that he is in trouble for a little bit.". He put his book down and he was relaxing on his bed. He hadn't looked through the box that he was given alongside the other students but he didn't open it. "So are you just choosing not to open it because you're scared or do you just know whats in there?" said Dark Magician. "I'm taking a nap. Wake me up when the boat crashes or something." said shawn.     

He rested his head on the pillow and he rested his arms before he closed them. "It will be fine due to the fact that you need to relax." said Dark Magician before he vanished. Shawn learned thanks to his master that he could talk and summon Duel Monster Spirits with Dark Magician being one of his main spirit partner. He was given these powers for a reasons and he was going to know why when older. Thanks to his master and Dark Magician, he master them with him still learning to this day.

The door slammed open walking Shawn up. "Oh hey Shawn!" said Syrus with Shawn then rolled to his side to see Syrus who he met earlier. "Oh hey Sy." said Shawn who yawned. Syrus placed his box on his bed and he started to look through it. He then pulled out a red blazer and uniform, a shiny new Academy issued duel disk, and a PDA. The red blazer meant that Syrus was placed in the Slifer Red Dorm. "I have never been on a cruise before. What about you?" said Syrus.

He put the blazer back in his box and Shawn said,"Been a while but I have countless times.". "So are you going to look through your stuff?" said Syrus. Shawn looked at his box and he shrugged and he lifted it on his bed. He looked through it and he noticed that he got the same thing that Syrus got but not the uniform. "I like the color Bart. It is very much you.". When Shawn started to training his power at a young age, he heard a voice in his head.

According to his master and Dark Magician, they told him that he is the reincarnation of the Spirit Priestess's husband who is known as the Spirit Sorcerer. He never expected to learn that she would want to talk him a lot. Dark Magician told him that when his powers were awakened, she was as well. In a way, the two are partners despite their past. Shawn didn't care since she is smart but she was always giving him the urge to flirt constantly much to his joy.

Dark Magician appeared beside Shawn's bed again and rolled his eyes while Shawn decided to darken the bright blue color into a navy blue so not to hear Karen complain about it but he would do it later when Syrus wasn't watching him. Dark Magician could hear her words as well since he was Shawn's spirits and connected to Karen in her past life. "I thought you would be sleeping." said the magician.

"Shawn only said to sleep until he passed the entrance exam which he did." said Karen. "Wow. I guess we weren't not going to be in the same dorm." said Syrus. "Yeah. I guess so." said Shawn while ignoring the bickering couple in his head. "Huh?" said Syrus. "Nothing man. So are you up for some swimming? I mean the girls are going to be there." said Shawn. "Sure." said Syrus. "You are a pain you know that." said Karen.

Dark Magician said,"I am not a pain.". "Whatever. Just make sure that we don't go crazy. I mean that is why you're here right?" said Karen. Shawn had a feeling that he was scoffing at this. "I don't at all trust you. You are a bad egg." said Dark Magician. "That's harsh. I thought that we are old pals." said Karen. "After what you did, you lost my trust." said Dark Magician. "You know that it wasn't my fault right?! I mean you should blame...." said Karen.

Shawn yelled in his head,"Guys, stop acting like children! I'm getting a headache!". Karen grumbled but he went quiet. "I'll find to shut her up permanently, I would." said Dark Magician. Shawn then looked at him and he said,"No you won't cause you're the only one who knows she is in here with me and we share a bond.". The magician sighed as he said,"I know that but...". He knew it but it wasn't a good feeling.

Shawn knew these two were pals once but things happen causing their friendship to hit rock bottom in laymen's terms. The bad thing is they didn't know the full story with Dark Magician slowly telling him what happened in past life slowly at eleven not to make his head exploded with Shawn being left in the dark much to his annoyance. Shawn changed into his swim trunks which had a lightning bolt theme on it and Syrus said,"Wow. Do you work out?".

Shawn said while looking at his muscles,"Oh yeah. I do. I'm actually pretty strong.". "That's cool. I'm going to let you flirt while I enjoy the pool." said Syrus who was gone. "Later Sy." said Shawn. He saw a girl getting out of the pool with her wrapping a towel around herself. "Hey. What's up?" said Shawn who smirked. "You're the kid who that contest right?" said the girl. "Yep. The name is Shawn and it is nice to meet you." said Shawn.

He sat next to her with her kicking the water and he said,"So what's your name?". "My name is Alice Caldwell." said Alice. Shawn looked her over. She had orange hair that went up to her shoulders and it was still soaking wet. She had brown eyes that reminded him of honey and she said,"I'm happy that the engines malfunctioned because this is nice". She smiled as she said,"Have you been on a cruise before?". "Yes." said Shawn.

Syrus said while sitting next to Shawn,"Have you?". "Nope. First time. So what are you looking at Shawn?" said Alice. Shawn was relaxing back on his elbows as he was looking at the sky above and he said,"Just looking at the clouds. I remember how me and my sister used to looked at them after I finished training.". "You have an older sister?" said Syrus. "Yes. Her name is Maria Reeves and she is two years older than me." said Shawn.

Alice said,"So is she at Duel Academy and why do you two have different last names?". Shawn then shook his head and he said,"She has been missing for two years and we were raised together so I am like her little brother.". "Oh." said the two. Dark Magician appeared behind Shawn and he sighed. He decided to push Shawn into the pool by using his energy. He sputter out water as he swam up to the surface slightly annoyed.

Shawn said,"What was the big deal?!". "It is payback." said Dark Magician. "That was three years ago!" said Shawn. "I was going to get you back." said Dark Magician. Alice and Syrus were lost at this. "Do you know what he is doing?" said Alice. "Honestly, I have no idea but I'm just accepting it because Duel Academy is known for being a circus of people." said Syrus. "That makes sense to say the least." said Alice.

Shawn was wandering around the ship later that day. It was right after lunch and after dropping Syrus in their room, he decided to go for a walk. He didn't know if Maria was even in the island and he was going to find her and the master. He knew that he was part of the Reeves family and he knows that he is still out there. He sighed as he stopped nearby the railing. He looked at the water that shined by the sunshine under her.

The ripples spreading out as the cruise ship glided across its surface. He crossed his harms across the railing while leaning against it and he turned his head toward the sky. The wind was making his hair fly in his face and he heard,"Hey!". Shawn turned to see a girl flipped to him nearby. She had her light blonde hair tied up a ponytail that hanged over her shoulder and light blue eyes. She was slightly shorter than Alice who was an average height for a girl.

Like Alice and others, she was dressed in the regular Obelisk Uniform except with black leggings. It was under her skirt and she had a thick British accent. "Ah. Did you lose your mommy?" said Shawn with a smirk. "I'm fifteen!" yelled the girl. "Okay just chill out. It's just a joke okay? So what do you want with me?" said Shawn. "You are friends with the guy who defeated Dr. Crowler right?" said the girl. "Nick is in the dining hall and my name is Shawn." said Shawn.

The girl said,"My name is Clara.". "Oh and Nick is joining us." said Shawn. Clara turned around to see Nick standing there and he said,"Hey S man!". He put his arms around Shawn's shoulder and Shawn said,"So what do you want?". "Can't I come say hi to one of my best friends?" said Nick. "You want a rematch don't you?" said Shean. "Yes! I mean who can eat that much food and still look that good! Is it a secret?" said Nick.

Clara said,"You know that you're pretty cute up close, Nick.". Shawn snickered as Nick's face lit up a little and he said,"You know that I wanted to see you and stop laughing.". "Sorry bud. So what are you doing here? I thought the dining hall would be empty by now." said Shawn. "Someone told me stop so what's your name?" said Nick. "My name is Clara. I came here for a reason. So people say that you're good Shawn but I want to test you out myself. Care for a duel?" said Clara.

Nick said,"But he doesn't even have his....". He saw that Shawn was holding a duel disk and he said to him,"How did you?". "Duel sense. It's a curse. So do you want to duel here or with a crowd? I'm up for either." said Shawn. "I want to crush you with an audience." said Clara. "Smart girl. I like that. I think I'm falling for you short stuff." said Shawn. She kicked him in the knee as she said,"I'll meet you in the ballroom in ten minutes.".

She walked off as Nick said,"Smooth.". "Oh shut up. I need you to draw a crowd and bring females to watch." said Shawn. "Will do and I better you pissing her isn't help your chances with her." said the hero. "Hero Boy. I'm not into little girls. I like mature women you know." said Shawn. "I don't get but I will get a crowd for you." said Nick. "Oh and have fun being in Slifer. Syrus will need you for his confidence." said Shawn who crossed his arms. "Right." said Nick.

Ten minutes later, Shawn stood across from Clara with a crowd nearby and she said,"You're going down.". "Yeah. In your dreams." said Shawn. The two activated their duel disks and they said,"Let's duel!". They drew their starting hand as Clara said,"I'll go first! And I will start by summoning my Dunames Dark Witch in attack mode!". She placed the card on her duel disk and a small fair with white wings on her back and her head appeared on her field.

Clara: 4000 Life Points.
Shawn: 4000 Life Points.

She was wearing white gloves that covered her entire hands with white boots and red-and-white armor with matching shoulder plates, her hair was short, straight, and purple with her eyes matching her hair color. (4/1800/1500). "Short and sweet just like you." said Shawn. "I play the continuous spell card, Burden of the Mighty." said Clara. A card with a nest and two blue chicks inside of a red and gold box with a hand reaching toward it.

Syrus said,"So what does that card do?". "It causes my monsters to lose 100 attack points times its own level." said Shawn. "Weird move." said Nick. "I'll end my turn with that." said Clara. Shawn drew a card and he said,"I summon my Snow Wizard in attack mode.". He placed the card down as a snowy blizzard appeared behind him. The snow then formed to make a blue-skinned woman with white braid in a blue and white cloak.

She stood there and she was holding a staff with a glowing blue snowflake inside of it. (4/1800-1400/1400). Shawn  said,"Despite her being weaker now, she has a cold heart woman. I equip with the spell card Magic Scepter. This spell increases her power by 700 attack points.". Her staff glowed a golden color as she smiled. (4/1400-2100/1400). "Okay! You're up Candice! Show her your frozen wrath!" said Shawn. Candice smiled as she froze the witch which broke afterward

Clara: 3700 Life Points.
Shawn: 4000 Life Points.

Syrus said,"Wow. That was great.". "Yeah but Shawn just getting started." said Nick. "I will place a face down and end my turn. You're up tiny." said Shawn. "I would say that a good move but you had to add that extra comment didn't you?" said Clara as she drew a card. Shawn shrugged and Clara said,"I play the spell card Monster Reborn and I bring back my witch!". She stood there and Candice said,"I just destroyed her so why the hell did she come back?".

Shawn shrugged as Clara said,"I now normal summon Freya, Spirit of Victory to my field in attack mode!". A girl with purple hair and pale skin stood there with red poms-poms and a rose in her hair which made Shawn snicker. (1/100/100). "Okay. So are you going to cheer me to death or what?" said Shawn. "I don't think you should be laughing since A: She can't be targeted since I have another Fairy monster on my field and B: she boost up my monsters by 400 attack and defense points." said Clara.

The two fairies got stronger. (Freya: 1/00-500/100-500) ( Dunames 4/1800-2200/1800-2200). "I think it is time to attack his snow woman Dunames!" said Claaa. A gold beam of light hit Candice causing her to exploded in a burst of light causing Shawn to cover his eyes from it. "I'm not down yet. Show him what a cheerleader can do Freya!" said Clara. She kicked him straight in the stomach as Shawn said,"Girl's got spunk. I"ll give her that.".

Clara: 3700 Life Points.
Shawn: 3400 Life Points. 

Clara said,"I'll end my turn by placing down a face down.". Shawn said while drawing,"I guess you did good and I start my turn by playing Call of the Haunted!". "Stopping you there. I activate my face down! Royal Decree, this trap negates all trap cards except for this one." said Clara. "Dam. This fairy isn't that bad. I'll end my turn by placing this card face down and placing a card with it. You are up." said Shawn.

Clara drew another card and she said,"I now summon Fairy Archer in attack mode!". A small fairy with red and gold wings and reddish-brown hair dressed up in a purple tank top with a skirt made of leaves, purple tights and dark purple boots appeared on the field with her bow aimed right at Shawn and she smiled. (3/1400-1800/600-1000). "I activate her special effect. During my Main Phase, I can inflict 400 points of damage to you for every face-up Light monster that I control." said Clara.

Clara said,"You can do basic math right?". The archer pointed her bow and arrow with the arrows heading right toward Shawn in his gut and his arms knocking him back a little. "And they still have their attacks except for my archer since she used her effect. I first attack with Dunames Dark Witch and this is going to be good!" said Clara. She attacked the face down monster causing it flip upward to show a wolf like creatures stood there and it was wearing a little wizard hat. (2/500-300/500).

Clara: 3700 Life Points.
Shawn: 2200 Life Points.

Shawn said,"You just revealed Fang, my Wizard Wolf. His special effect activates. I can choose one card on the field and it goes bye bye.". He looked at her field and he thought,'I got two options here. I got Freya with her fairies losing their power up but I could go with Royal Decree so I can my traps again. I'll go with the former. I'll still have my spells under my belt.". "I pick the pixie aka Freya by the way." said Shawn.

The fairy then cried in pain along with the wolf joining in her pain. (Dunames: 4/2200-1800/1450-1050.). (Archer: 3/1800-1400/1000-600). "I'll end my turn." said Clara. "My turn." said Shawn. He drew a card and placed it in his hand. "I summon my Leaf Wizard in attack mode!" said Shawn. A muscular man in a green cloak stood there after appearing from the leaves. (4/1950-1550/1300). "I now activate the spell card Rush Recklessly. This gives Erik some extra power about 700!" said Shawn.

Erik glowed as he said,"Mother Nature is on my side now.". (4/1550-2250/1300). "Now. Show her your Leaf Barrage!" said Shawn. He smiled as he fired a huge amount of leaves toward the archer who felt a leaf cut. "I'll end my turn with that." said Shawn. (4/2250-1550). "I first summon Spirit of the Harp in defense mode." said Clara. A green haired woman stood there with her playing the harp and singing a soft tune. (4/800/2000).

Clara: 2850 Life Points.
Shawn: 2200 Life Points.

Clara said,"I'll now attack with my witch! Destroy that leafy freak!". The beam destroy Erik with the main character Shawn losing more life points. "Don't give up! You got this!" said Nick. "I didn't need the support but it's nice." said Shawn. "I end my turn!" said Clara. "I draw!" said Shawn. He looked at his hand and he said,"I now play the spell card Mystical Space Typhoon! Time to destroy that Royal Decree!".

Clara: 2850 Life Points.
Shawn: 1950 Life Points.

The gust of wind destroyed the trap card and Shawn said,"Finally! I now activate Wizard's Illusion aka my face down card. It lets me special summon a spellcaster from my deck after I send three cards from my deck to the graveyard.". He then placed three cards in his graveyard slot as he said,"I special summon my Wizard Serpent which went to the graveyard earlier. Duel Sense.". A long serpent appear and it looked very majestic. (5/2600-2100/1600).

The serpent appeared from the ground with golden scales and a silver underside. It has rainbow eyes that are bright. It has a smooth and round snout and a small emerald horn on is forehead. It has white wings in the middle of its body with three red crystal appearing on its neck, one next to its horn, and one next to its tail. "You see. My serpent has a special effect. For every spellcaster in my grave, she gets an extra 300 attack and defense points. So can you do the math pixie?" said Shawn.

A bright glow came from her horn as the spirits of Candice, Erik, and Fang appeared behind the serpent. (5/2100-3000/1600-2500). "Okay. I need to get rid of that witch Wendy! So attack her with Rainbow Strike: Fire!" said Shawn. She nodded as she fired the beam from her mouth. The witch was destroyed as Shawn smirked. "I end my turn by placing down a face down. Your turn by the way and you're not bad Clara." said Shawn.  

Clara: 1650 Life Points.
Shawn: 1950 Life Points.

Clara said,"I draw and thanks.". She drew a card and she said,"I'll end my turn.". "Okay Shawn. That was strange to you right?" said Wendy. "Yeah. I now summon a favorite! I summon Wind Wizard in attack mode!" said Shawn. Next to the dragon, a wizard with light gray hair and he was wearing a cloak with wind currents on it. (4/1600-1200/1200). "Now. Attack her monster. Have fun with this since my serpent has a piercing effect." said Shawn.

Clara: 650 Life Points.
Shawn: 1950 Life Points.

She destroy the harp fairy with her beam of light. Shawn said,"I now end my turn by placing a face down.". "Okay. So why didn't you attack me? You still had your wizard's attack." said Clara. "Well I want to see what you have in you huh Pixie. Lets go." said Shawn. She smiled as she said,"So how many fairies do I have in my grave?". "Lets see. She has Dunames Dark Witch, Fairy Archer, Freya, and the Spirit of the Warp." said Syrus.

Clara said,"I can now special summon my Archlord Kristya in attack mode from my hand.". A beam of light widened on Clara's side of the field and Shawn then covered his eyes. A tall figure in white armor stood there when the light faded. She had white gauntlets on the ends with winds and large red wings on its back was left standing on the field (8/2800/2300). "So what does she do?" said Shawn who smiled.

Clara said while blushing,"Well. I can pick a fairy monster and I add it to my hand. I pick my Freya to join the battle field.".She added the card to her hand and she said,"I now summon her in defense mode.". The fairy appear as she was defending from the serpent and wizard. (Freya: 1/100-500/100-500). (Kristya: 8/2800-3200/2300-2700). "Wow. That's one strong angel!" said Nick. "And the both of us can't special summon since I have her on the field." said Clara.

She pointed to the stronger angel and Clara said,"I now attack your dragon!". Wendy was destroyed by the stronger fairy and Wizard's Illusion. "Oh. Wow. Clara is pretty good." said Syrus. "Yeah but Shawn would have won earlier if he attack with Wind Wizard. I guess he really wanted to see Clara's true dueling power." said Nick. "Why didn't Clara destroy Wind Wizard? I mean Shawn would have lost my life points." said Syrus. "Remember Wendy's special effect?" said Nick.

Clara: 650 Life Points.
Shawn: 1750 Life Points.

Syrus then nodded and Nick said,"You get it right little buddy?". "Yeah." said Syrus. Shawn took a deep breath and Clara said,"It is your move now Shawn.". 'I know that Clara but since I can't bring out my stronger wizards, I guess I'll bring out my Dragons to play!" thought Shawn. He then drew a card and smiled. "Shawn has this now." said Nick. "I first send Wind Wizard to the grave so I can summon Basalt Dragon in attack mode!" said Shawn.

The wizard was gone as a dragon appeared. Unlike Wendy who was graceful, this one looked more like a Western Dragon except this one was made entirely of magma and not at graceful according to most. (6/2800-2200/700). 'This doesn't look good.' thought Clara. "I now activate my face down card known as Dragon's Song! Since I have a dragon on my field, this lets me special another one from my deck and I pick Ocean Dragon!" said Shawn.

A huge dragon made out of water appeared right next to the fire dragon. (6/2800-2200/800). The two growled at each other and Shawn said,"I now activate Basalt Dragon's special effect. So how many monsters do I have chilling in the grave?". "Lets see. You have Snow Wizard, Leaf Wizard, Wind Wizard, Wizard Serpent, and Wizard Wolf. That's five." said Nick. "Good counting buddy. He lets me draw a card for each one!" said Shawn.

He added a fresh hand and Shawn said,"Perfect. I activate the spell card Polymerization! I now fuse my dragons together!". The two dragons fused together and they formed to make a giant dragon made out of smoke. (8/3600-2800/3000). "This is Smoke Dragon. His special effect activates if I have more than five monsters in the grave which I do. He destroy all cards on your side of the field. Time for to get covered in smoke!" said Shawn.

The girl covered her eyes as her entire field was destroyed by the smoke. Smoke Dragon smiled as he gained back his power. "Okay big guy! You know what to do! Smoke Hurricane!" yelled Shawn. The dragon then roared blasting Clara back. "And this duel is over!" said Shawn. "Hey! That was pretty good Clara." said Shawn. He walked over to Clara and he said,"Next time, I won't be holding back by the way.".

Clara: 0 Life Points.
Shawn: 1750 Life Points. Winner!

Clara said,"Yeah. I just thought that you were a pervert.". "Um thanks. So do you want a rematch? I am game." said Shawn. "No thanks. I have to get back to my room to improve my deck. See you later Shawny." said Clara. She did a flip as she walked backwards. "Okay. Awesome." said Shawn who smiled. "Man. She is good. She deserves to be in Obelisk." said Nick. "You do know that ALL girls are in Obelisk right buddy?" said Shawn.

The rest of the trip to Duel Academy went by fast. Before long, he and the others were in a large lecture hall that would be perfect in college. Shawn was currently sleeping with the other Obelisks looking right at him. Bastion who was wearing a yellow blazer thought,'I really can't believe that an Obelisk is sleeping while the others aren't.'. Nick and Syrus were talking with the other Slifers and Shawn opened his left eye.

He saw Alice talking with Clara which made him smile along with the other girls in their uniforms and he thought,'I'm enjoying this job more and more.". A moment later, the large screen that stood in front of them turned on. A bald man who looks to be in his late forties or maybe early fifties stood there and he had a goatee around his chin. He was wearing a red blazer that was darker than normal and it was over a shirt and tie.

'This time, I am really sure that he is the headmaster.' thought Shawn. "Good morning and welcome my students, my name is Chancellor Sheppard. I'm the headmaster of the best and brightest duelists in the entire world." said Sheppard. "I don't think that inflating his ego is a good thing alongside his blue coat brothers and sisters." said Karen. 'You know that this place is perfect for you right Karen?" said Dark Magician.

"Now, I hope you all get settled in your assigned dorms. I hope you find them comfortable on how you ranked of course." said Sheppard. Later, Nick and Syrus were leaning against one of the stone pillars that lined the main walkway heading up to the main building. The building had a a silver roof with four tan spires. You could see a blue, yellow, and red dishes in the center in that order going down.

Nick was looking for his PDA or Duel Pilot as it was called. He was looking for his way to the Slifer Red Dorm and he said,"Man. This place is huge.". He saw Bastion walking with Shawn and Nick said while looking at them,"Hey you guys.". "Nick." said Bastion. "Sup Hero Boy." said Shawn. "You are a A Ra man." said Nick. "Thanks." said Bastion. "I guess you pissed off my headmaster. I mean I think you should be in Ra but what do I know?" said Shawn.

Syrus said,"So what about you Shawn? Are you going to start ignore us?". "No. Why the hell would I be doing that?" said Shawn. "No reason." said Syrus. Shawn sighed as he said,"Man. My room is so far from here. It is room 396.". "I guess you are on the third floor. I hope to see you gentles around the campus." said Bastion. He walked away and Nick said,"I guess we should be heading to our dorm! See you man.". Nick ran off with Syrus going after him.

Meanwhile. Alice said,"We got our own rooms. Nice.". She looked over her room. It has a single full sized bed with a nightstand on which had a lamp that had a door leading to a walk in closet and a nice dresser resting on the wall across from the bed with pale-blue carpet stretching from wall to wall and large windows that allowed for a beautiful view of the lake. "It is nice Alice." said Clara. "And we are neighbors too. You want to go explore after this?" said Alice.

Clara said,"Knowing the campus is good. Okay.". She disappeared into her room and Alice smiled as she sat on her bed. She ran her fingers alongside the soft comforter as she laid down. Her eyes were focused on the ceiling and she heard the door knock. "Coming." said Alice. She opened the door and Shawn stood there. "Okay before you scream. My room is some around here since my room that I had in the boy's dorm was trashed by makeup." said Shawn.

Alice said,"You can't be serious.". Shawn pulled out his PDA and he showed her his room. "Oh. You are serious. You should go find Miss. Fontaine. She might be help you. I do hope that you can join me and Clara for a trip around campus." said Alice. "Sounds fun sister. See you later." said Shawn. He held toward the elevator while avoiding girls. 'I can't believe that I am hiding for girls. This is the worse ever.' thought Shawn.

He went to Miss. Fontaine's office after Dark Magician found the room for him. He knocked on her door and he said,"Miss. Fontaine? Are you in there?". A woman stood there and she said,"Oh. You must be the boy whose room was destroyed by those ruffians earlier. So do you want to see your new room?". "Sure I guess." said Shawn. He followed her and he said,"So are you going to explain the girls about little old me?".

She smiled as she said,"I'll tell them about you during the dinner tonight. You're invited by the way if you are not planning to head toward the boys dorm.". "I'll rather spend time with the hot ladies than those dudes." said Shawn. "I see. Your room is right here and I hope that you don't piss off anyone on your first day." said the woman. She threw Shawn his key as he said,"I'll be doing that in a minute. So lets go.".

He opened the door and he smiled. "Bitching. I need to make this place more me you know." said Shawn. He walked around and he changed his room around. He finished in about ten minutes top. It looked pretty sweet Shawn according to him. It was a king sized bed with a red comforter with a wand in the center of it. He had the walk in closet filled with his extra uniforms, his casual clothes, and he had his extra cards in a card trunk that he brought from home.

He looked out the window which had a great view of Duel Academy. "This is a bitching view and the girls got it lucky." said Shawn. He looked at the large fridge which was right near the mini kitchen and bathroom. He sat on the couch in front of the flat screen and he said,"Man. This place is going to be awesome.". His PDA rang and he saw that it was Alice. "Hey. So did you forget about the tour? I mean I didn't expect you to be forgetful but...." said Alice.

Shawn said,"Sorry. I was just fixing up the pad. Be down there in a few.". She then hanged up and he grabbed his deck with Duel Disk. He heard something and he said,"Must be the wind or something like that.". He head downstairs by elevator since he didn't want to get caught. He opened the door and he sneaked out of the main hall and he saw both Alice and Clara waiting for him. "I can't believe that he is in the girls's dorm." said Clara.

Shawn said,"Yeah. It's pretty nice. I mean did you see that kitchen? Man, I'm going to be cooking in there.". "It is made obvious we have a five star kitchen downstairs right?" said Alice. "Well excuse me princess but I'm a guy in all girls dorm and you ladies are vicious creatures. So lets go exploring before I piss you girls off more." said Shawn. "That sounds like a good duel. My last name is Rogers by the way." said Clara. "Thanks for the info." said Shawn.

Back with Nick and Syrus. "This isn't a dorm Nick! It is an outhouse with a deck!" said Syrus. To be honest, It was more like an old apartment building with two floors. Nick was learning over the railing and he looked over the ocean which was nearby the dorm. "Are you kidding me Syrus? Check out of the view! It's to die for!" said Nick. The two went to their assigned room which just happened to the same one.

Nick said,"Guess we're roommates Syrus.". It has a long two seated desk alongside the left with the window straight across from the door and a three-person bunk bed along the right well and near the door was a tiny stove. "It's small don't you think?" said Syrus. "You're a tiny guy Sy. I don't think you take up so much room. So this is a sweet pad for our first year the academy!" said Nick. "Yeah. We're friends right? Like we were friends in a past life" said Syrus.

Nick said,"Not really. I don't think that stuff is even real. I mean if you think about it, the mold was broken when they made us the two. We need to work on that confidence of yours. Lets get some light into the room.". He then pulled back the curtain letting in the sunshine. "Hey! They were closed for a reason!" said a voice. He didn't want any light in here with Nick closing the curtains quick. He turned up toward the top bunk to find the voice.

Syrus said,"Sorry about that.". "Yeah man. We didn't see you at all there." said Nick who looked a little bit embarrassed. "You can see me now right?!" yelled the voice. The covers revealed an angry and large boy with him looking like a koala. The two suddenly started to scream as the boy said,"Do you two mind?! Why the hell are you in my room?!". "Oh sorry about that! My name is Nicholas or Nick Conner. Nice to meet you." said Nick.

Syrus said,"And I'm Syrus.". "And we're your new roommates." said Nick. "You're obvious new here right? Let me teach you a few things." said the boy "You know that we need a name right and I don't have a pen." said Nick. "So why is Parent's Visit?" said Syrus. "Not that. It is about the color system and how it works." said the boy. Nick sat down with Syrus joining him and the boy looked at the roof while talking.

"Okay. We have three dorms here based off the Egyptian God Cards no duh. We got the Obelisk Blue students who got there either by connections or good grades, the Ra Yellow students who have a lot of potential in them, and the Slifer Red students who are known as the Red Wonders. "Wonders? It's good right?" said Syrus. "Not at all pipsqueak. We're rejects and failures!" said the boy. The two then looked at him and the heavy boy said,"The name is Chumley by the way.".

Shawn was walking around campus with Alice and Clara until they bumped into a blond. She then introduced herself as Alexis Rhodes. 'I can't believe that I get to see you again Alexis. I really hope that you remember me soon. I took this job to save your brother, my sister, and the master. It's weird how they all went missing here. Huh. That is weird.' thought Shawn. "You did pretty good in your duel at the exams." said Alexis.

Shawn said,"Well, I'm just that good? So do you know your way around this place? We are so lost in my opinion.". "Somewhat. I am actually have been going to gather the other obelisks for the welcome dinner." said Alexis. Shawn's stomach rumbled as Alexis said,"Anyway, I think they are in our duel arena. Do you want to come with me?". "Sure." said Alice.Clara nodded as Shawn putting his arms behind his head. He followed the girls toward the arena.

Earlier, Nick was running into the main building and he said,"Come on Sy! There is totally a sweet duel going on in there!". "And how do you know this?!" said Syrus who trying to catch his breath. "It is in the air man. Can't you feel in your gut?" said Nick. "I don't have a dueling sense like you and Shawn do!" said Syrus. The two walked and Nick said,"We found it Syrus. Lets go.". The two walked into a very large room.

It was huge with stands all over the way and in the middle of it, a large platform with wires coming out of the bases. "Now this is bitching! This is the best dueling arena around you know?" said Nick who was looking around. "True and I bet Shawn would say something about the Duel Arena. He is a cool guy but he is pretty strange." said Syrus. Somewhere, Shawn sneezed. "Shoot. We should have a duel right now Sy!" said Nick.

Syrus said,"Are you sure? Are we allowed in here? I don't want us to get in trouble on our first day here.". "We're students here little buddy and this is our campus." said Nick. "You're wrong about that Slifer Slackers! This is the Obelisk Blue Campus so get out of here!" said a voice. The two turned around and it was two teenager boys wearing dark blue blazers. They were the duo who were hanging around with Chazz at the exams: Raizou and Torimaki.

Nick said,"You sure about that?". "Yes dumb ass! Look at that crest." said Raizou. He then pointed to a large symbol above the entrance of the duel arena. It looks like a symbol representation of a demon like creature with horn coming out of the sides of its head and painted blue. "This is blue territory so no reds or yellows allowed." said Torimaki. "Oh. We're sorry about that. We'll leave right Nick?" said Syrus.

Nick said,"Yeah no. I mean you guys could duel me and I could be a guest duelist!". He looked at his friend and he said,"How about a tag duel? We don't like you making fun of us right Sy?". "Hold on. It looks like you're that kid!" said the blue boy. "Hey Chazz! That guy who defeated Dr. Crowler is here man!" said the brunette. The Slifer duo saw Chazz standing there and Nick said,"Hey. It's nice to meet you! My name is Nick and you're name is Cheese right?".

The kid growled as the blue hair teen said,"He is Chazz Princeton and he was the number one student at Duel Monsters Prep School so you better show your respect!". "Yeah. He is going to be the next King of Games, the best duelist in the world!" said the brunette. "Sorry! You're dead wrong don't you know?" said Nick who crossed his arms. "What do you just say?" said the blunette. "You see Chuzz or whatever your name is. I'm know that you think you're good but I'm better!" said Nick.

Nick said,"With Shawn and Bastion being my right hand men.". The two Obelisk said,"You can't be serious?! A Slifer is the king of games! That will be the day!". "Shut up you two!" said Chazz. He walked toward the group and he said,"Maybe the dork is right. He DID beat Crowler and that his rare monster. I guess you have some skills to put it off.". "Ah shucks. You're making me blush." said the boy.

Chazz said,"Or pure luck! Lets find it out!". "Yeah. I'm fired up now. We should totally get tickets for this thing right Sy?" said Nick. "Huh?" said Syrus. "Wow. Look at this pop band." said a voice. They turned to see Shawn standing there with Alice, Alexis, and Clara. "Hey you guys! I score some girls and what about you guys?" said Shawn. Clara then hit him and she said,"Idiot.". "So Nick, who is the blond? I mean she isn't mean like Chazz right." whispered Syrus.

Chazz smirked as he said,"Hey Alexis. Came here to watch me mop the floor with my best pal Nickie right? It'll be short but fun.". "Yeah but Nick is going to schooled you so hard." said Shawn. "Hey thanks bro." said Nick. "Are you a Slifer Slacker or what?" said Chazz. "No. I'm wearing your color and I may sleep through class but I could beat you blindfold." said Shawn. Chazz was about to say something but the blonde stopped him.

She said,"I hate to stop your contest here. You guys are late for the Obelisks's Welcome Dinner.". "Oh yeah. Lets go guys." said Chazz. He and his lackeys followed him and Alexis said,"Sorry about that. I know that most Obelisks are jerks but we aren't.". "Yeah. I mean we're rivals right Hero Boy?" said Shawn who smirked. "Yeah man. Those types don't bother me at all and I could totally crush them in one turn." said Nick.

Syrus said,"Your pride is something that we need to work on Nick.". "Okay then. How about two or three turns?" said Nick. "Are you sure about that buddy?" said Alice. Alexis said,"We totally should get going you guys and you guys have your dinner too.". "Really? Hell yeah! Lets go Sy! It is time to chow down!" said Nick. He ran off with Syrus said,"Wait up!". He ran after his friend and Shawn said to Alexis,"The hyper one is Nick and the shy one is Syrus.".

Later, the welcoming dinner were starting. The Blue Dorms was like a fancy party with gourmet food with Shawn devouring it much to the glares of the other Obelisk, the punch bowls, and some classical music played in the background. In the Ra yellow dorm. it wasn't as captivating but it was still nice with a lot of good looking food and buffet with the headmaster cooking all over it. Bastion took his seat with the other students in one of the three large tables.

"Ah! Welcome students! My name Professor Sartyr, the headmaster of the Ra Dorm! Now would like you tell to everyone about yourself?" said Sartyr. "My name is Bastion Misawa and as a hobby, I tend to do numerous equations for the decks that I create." said Bastion. "Very good. Lets continue on with the others." said Sartyr. We also meet Dimitri who was a fan of copying decks after famous duelists and Brier who was a quiet guy. It went pretty smoothly.

And the final dorm on our journey is Slifer Red. Their dinner looked like take out which was actually a compliment. It was a single bowl of rice with sardines and some sauces along with chopsticks. All of them were complaining about it. "This is our fancy dinner?!" said a Slifer. "Forget that man! Our headmaster is a cat!" said a Slifer pointing to a brown tabby cat with brown and black stripes that was sleeping on a table nearby them.

A tall and skinny man with black hair and a pair of glasses came out of the kitchen area. He looked like a nice teacher unlike Crowler. "Hello children. My name is Professor Banner. Before we start to eat, I would like to welcome everyone to..." said Banner with a light German Accent. He was stopped by Nick. "Man! This stuff is great!" said Nick. He was stuffing his face while everyone else had been looking at their food.

Syrus said,"Hey Nick. I think he wanted us to say something about ourselves.". "Okay then. I will say that I'm starving." said Nick whose mouth was full. "Um Nick. He is walking over to us. I mean he is right...." said Syrus. Nick had his mouth filled to the brim with amazing food and Banner said,"Some of us can't wait. Lets eat!". "All right! I'm fired up now!" said Nick who was eating like crazy much to the shock of others.

Back in the girls dorm, Shawn was doing some research on some of the students mainly the girls in his dorm. "Man, the food here was pretty good right Dark Magician?" said Shawn who was looking at his mini laptop. The magician stood there and he said."I do hope you know that I can't eat food right? It also ruined my aptitude.". "You're no fun. Man, the girls here are both hot and really good duelist. I mean this Alexis Rhodes chick is cool." said Shawn.

Dark Magician said,"She may have forgotten you Shawn. I mean you were such a nice young man but now, you're a player.". "I blame Karen. So are you up for learning more about the school? I mean we learn a bit on the tour but we need to find some research about the missing kids." said Shawn who got up from his couch. "I think that is the best move. I hope we don't get the girls involved in our mischief you know what would happen right?" said Dark Magician.

Shawn opened his door and he looked around. "Okay. Time to go Ninja up in this dorm." said Shawn who put his finger up to his mouth. He went to the elevator door and he heard,"Hey! What are you doing?". He turned around to see Alexis standing there with her arms folded across her chest and she said,"Are you crazy?". "A little. So shouldn't you being getting your beauty sleep?" said Shawn who smirked.

Alexis said,"I heard you sneaked out after hours. What are you doing?". "Oh you know. I want to go explore the island." said Shawn. "You're lying." said Alexis. Shawn said,"Okay. I've a feeling that Nick and Chazz's little beef isn't over.". "Are you sure?" said Alexis. "Duel Sense. It can't be wrong. So are you up for stopping them with me?" said Shawn. "Fine." said Alexis. The two got into the elevator and Shawn thought,'I'm on a date with a goddess nice.'.

Inside of the arena. Nick and Syrus found Chazz with his lackeys waiting for him. "Hey. You showed up Slacker." said Chazz. "Well, you do challenge me to a duel so I just had to accept it." said Nick who then climbed his way up to the dueling platform. Him and Chazz stood across from each other as Syrus went behind Nick. "Now. We're going to see if you beating Doctor Crowler was just luck after all." said Chazz.

Nick said,"This duel was good but this one is better. I mean two powerful rivals facing off. Man, I'm fired up now.". "Whatever. Get ready to offer your best card when you lose!" said Chazz. "Same with you!" said Nick. The two turned their duel disk and they drew their starting hands. "Duel!" yelled the two. Chazz said,"I'm going first! I'll start by summoning Reborn Zombie in defense mode and I play a card face down!".

Chazz: 4000 Life Points.
Nick: 4000 Life Points.

In front of Chazz, a decaying zombie wearing a shredded cloak with gray hair and no eyes. The bones from its right hand and foot were showing. (4/1000/1600). A card appeared behind her. "Okay. Weird way to start but hey, I got to go bigger you know." said Nick. He drew a card and he smiled. "This is rocking! I now play the spell card Polymerization! I fuse Elemental Hero Avian and Burstinatrix to summon Elemental Hero Flame Wingman!" said Nick.

The group watched as the two monsters fuse together and create the monster who did defeated Doctor Crowler a couple of days ago. (6/2100/1200). "My game and I are just getting warmed up Chazz so I now." said Nick. "I knew that you would do that Slifer Slacker." said Chazz. "Huh? What are you taking about?" said Nick. "You're an idiot slacker. I activate my face down card Chthonian Polymer!" said Chazz. A card appeared and it had a man being burned by fire.

Syrus said,"What does that card do?". "I told you Alexis. You owe five bucks." said a voice. Syrus turned around to see Alexis and Shawn walking to them. "Alexis? Shawn? What are you doing here anyway?" said Syrus. "My Duel Sense went off." said Shawn. "That trap card Chazz has the ability to take control of an opponent's monster if you give up one of your monsters in the process. Chazz may be slime but he knows how to build a deck." said Alexis who crossed her arms.

Syrus said,"And Nick just summoned one!". "He can win even without fusions. Trust me on that. The boy has this." said Shawn. "I now sacrifice my Reborn Zombie to control of your wingman! Thanks for the monster!" said Chazz. The zombie exploded in a burst of light as the hero flew over to the other side while being cloaked in a dark aura and really angry. "Son of a bitch. I lost one of my best monster." said Nick.

Chazz said,"I just knew that you were going to summon that monster because you wouldn't shut the hell up about him on the way here!". "So? I still got firepower. Since my hero was a special summon and I can still summon a monster from my hand." said Nick. He looked at his hand and he thought,'It is going to be hard because of the fact that he is one of my strongest monsters.'. Chazz was enjoying this because he had Flame Wingman on his field and he was going to destroy Nick with him.

'I love this. Come on you Slifer Sludge, summon up another piece of crap. I totally know about your monster's power.' thought Chazz. "Okay. I pick my Elemental Hero Ice Edge in defense mode." aid Nick. He put the card down and a kid in a blue bodysuit with white gauntlets and a spike white headdress with matching shoulder plates. He is wearing white boots with green eyes and he appeared on the field. (3/800/900).

The kid looked at Nick and he said,"Don't worry. We'll get him back. I promise.". The kid looked back at Chazz as Nick said,"I think I end my turn with a face down.". He sighed as Chazz said,"Time to teach you a lesson! I draw!". He drew a card and he said,"I now summon Chthonian Solider in attack mode!". A man in dark armor stood there using a strong and large looking blade next to the stolen hero. (4/1200/1400).

Chazz said,"Attack that ice cube with Skydive Scorcher!". The hero flew up in the air and Nick said with a smile,"Watch and learn Chazz! I now activate my face down card! Threatening Roar!". The card went up as the hero's attack was stopped.  "Nice move." said Syrus. "Fine. I end my turn after I place my face down." said Chazz. "Wow. That move was really good. He would have taken more damage than he planned if he didn't place that face down card." said Shawn.

Nick said after drawing a card,"I'll summon Elemental Hero Stratos in attack mode!". A warrior who has two giant wings on the back of his costume stood there next to the ice warrior. (4/1800/300). "I now activate his special effect. I pick to add a hero from my deck to my hand!" said Nick. He added a card to him and Nick said,"I am moving Ice Edge into attack and this is before I activate his special effect. By sending the hero that I just brought to my hand to the grave, you get hit head on!".

He placed the card in the graveyard as the kid attacked Chazz in the guy and then rushing back over to Nick. "Oh. Since I attacked you directly with Ice Edge, I can destroy one of your face down card so show him your snow storm!" said Nick. He aimed his left hand at the card freezing it to pieces as Nick said,"Go, Stratos! Show that warrior your hurricane storm!". The wind went right through the solider causing an explosion.

Chazz: 2600 Life Points.
Nick: 4000 Life Points.

However, Nick was hit with the solider's curved blade went right through the hero duelist. "I guess you didn't know by destroying my Chthonian Solider, you take the same amount of damage as I do but I'm just getting started." said Chazz. "Nick is still in the lead." said Syrus. "Yeah but Chazz isn't done either." said Alexis. "I'll end my turn with a face down." said Nick. A card appeared behind the two heroes as Chazz drew a card.

Chazz: 2600 Life Points.
Nick: 3600 Life Points.

Chazz said,"This is nothing! I play Monster Reborn to bring my solider but he won't be here for long since I'm summoning my Mefist the Infernal General to my hand!". The solider was gone but he was replaced by an armored man with a black cape and matched armored horse with a battle axe in his hands. (5/1800/1700).  "I'm impressed." said Nick. "Okay. You are strange Slifer Sludge. Now Flame Wingman, attack Ice Edge!" said Chazz.

Nick said,"Wow. I guess Obelisk can't learn no new tricks. No offense Alexis and Shawn. I activate my face down card! Mirror Gate!". "Sweet!" said Shawn. "Huh?" said Syrus. "He is getting his wingman back Sytus." said Alexis. The two heroes were about to fight but they suddenly switched places and Wingman destroyed Ice Edge causing Chazz to be father behind. "And now, show him your fiery aftereffect!" said Nick. Chazz was burned by the dragon's head and he growled.

Chazz: 500 Life Points.
Nick: 3600 Life Points.

Shawn said,"Man. I thought that Chazz was supposed to be a good duel. I guess the Heart of Cards isn't on your side eh pal.". "I still think that this could go either way." said Alexis. "Yeah. This Slifer is pretty good." said one of Chazz's friends who were silent throughout the duel. "It looks like Nick is going to win to me." said Syrus. "I play the spell Rush Recklessly!" said Chazz. The monster gained a power up. (5/1800-2500/1700).

"Attack that metal wings freak!" said Chazz. The general then threw his ax at the hero causing an explosion. "And since you took battle damage thanks to my general. you take a random card from your hand and it goes straight to the grave." said Chazz. Nick placed a card in his graveyard and the Obelisk said,"I'll end my turn with one face down!". A card appeared behind the general while losing his power up. (5/2500-1800/1700).

Chazz: 500 Life Points.
Nick: 2900 Life Points.

Nick said,"I draw!". He looked at his hand and he said,"Time to end this duel! Infernal Rage!". The fire came toward the general but it was stopped. "Not so fast Slifer Slacker. I play my face down card Mirror Force. Say good buy to your monster." said Chazz. The trap appeared and the attack was then stopped in its place along with the wingman going bye bye. "Well darn. I guess I rushed into that trap didn't I?" said Nick.

He smiled as he said,"I'll summon Elemental Hero Woodsman in defense mode and I'll end my turn with that.". A wood like hero stood there defending Nick. (4/1000/2000). Chazz drew a card and he said,"I now summon a new Chthonian Solider in attack mode!". A new armored warrior stood there and Chazz said,"I'm not down yet! I activate the trap card Call of the Haunted bring back my first monster! Reborn Zombie!".

The two monsters stood there and Nick gulped in fear. (Chthonian Solider: 4/1200/1400) (Reborn Zombie: 4/1200/1400). Chazz said,"I think its time for Woody to come up and I will do this with my Stop Defense Spell bring him up to play!". The hero stood up and Chazz said,"Destroy that wooded freak!". The monster then destroyed the hero as Chazz said,"Now! Attack him directly Mefist!". The monster then attacked him directly.

Chazz: 500 Life Points.
Nick: 900 Life Points.

Syrus said,"So why didn't Chazz fully attack? I mean he could have won.". "Well Sy, I stop my turn to see how good my opponent can get but Chazz here is sadistic." said Shawn. "I'll end my turn with a face down card. You're lucky that I'm so nice Slifer. I could have won right there but I decide to make you suffer more." said Chazz. "Well thanks. I guess you will see what a hero can truly do." said Nick who drew a card. "Yes! I won this duel!" said Nick.

Alexis looked behind her with a nervous look on her and Shawn said,"Hey Lex. You're alright?". Her eyes went wide and she snapped her head back to the two who were dueling. "Guys! We have a really big problem! Campus Security! If we get caught here, we are going to be in really big trouble." said Alexis. "What?!!" yelled Syrus. "So? We are all students here so why are you worried so much? I'm going to win." said Nick.

Alexis sighed as she pulled out her Duel Pilot,"The Rules of our School says that there is no off hour dueling in any of the arenas. Chazz knows this but he didn't tell you didn't he?". "Wow. Not cool at all bro." said Shawn. Chazz's face went bright red as the blue hair boy said,"Hey Chazz. Lets go already. I don't think you want to be in trouble.". "Fine." said Chazz who scoffed. "Hey! The duel isn't over! I'm going to win!" said Nick.

Chazz hopped off the platform and he said while walking away,"Yeah. It is Slacker. I got what I need so you're a sad duelist and you beating Crowler was luck.". "But...." said Nick. "Nick! We have to get out of here!" said Syrus. "Yeah. I don't want to get in trouble man." said Shawn. He carried Alexis bridal style as the four ran out of there before they got caught. It actually took a little big longer than Shawn thought because Nick was being stubborn.

Alexis said,"Hey Shawn. You can put me down.". "Oh right." said Shawn. He put her down as Alexis said with a small blush from earlier,"You're really stubborn aren't you?". "About my dueling yes I am Alexis." said Nick. "Right. I'm the same way man. Thanks Lex for showing us the back passage or another way." said Shawn. "No problem. It sucks that you didn't finish your duel with Chazz. I thought you were going to win." said Alexis.

Nick said,"Well. I was going to win but I was stopped by you all and it was going to be an awesome finish for sure.". Syrus said,"Really?". "Yeah. You were going to use if Chazz wasn't so nice to you." said Alexis. "Let him explain himself Lex." said Shawn. "Check it!" said Nick. The card that Nick drew was Monster Reborn. "Wow. You would have brought back Flame Wingman and destroyed the horseman with it. Good move." said Shawn. "Yeah. Later!" said Nick. He ran off with the bluenette.

Shawn said,"What an interesting duo.". "Yeah. So how did you know that Nick was going to win in the first place?" said Alexis. "Like I keep saying Duel Sense. We should probably get back. I'm tired to say the least." said Shawn who faked a yawn. "You're right." said Alexis. The two walked back as Shawn turned around. He nodded to Dark Magician who flew off and he thought,'I'm going to have a hell of a time here.'.

Chapter 3: Love and Duel Monsters go hand in hand.
Narrator P.O.V.
It was the morning of the first days of class and everyone was in class now. The seating chart went like this. Blues at the top, Yellows in the middle, and Reds are at the bottom. The school works by colors so most of the Obelisk feel pretty smug at the top with the Slifers being at the bottom of their boots. So Alexis, Alice, Chazz, Clara, Shawn, and the other blues were at the top, Bastion was in middle, and Nick and Syrus at the bottom.

Much to Shawn's annoyance, Crowler was their first teacher. "All right everyone! Please be seated by color." said Crowler. "I won't be repeated myself so listen up brats. I'm your first teacher Dr. Vellian Crowler. I teach the different types of cards. Would anyone like to tell me what the three types of cards in Duel Monsters and their categories?" said Crowler. He looked around and he saw Shawn on his desk half asleep.

Crowler said,"Mr. Alvarez. Would you like to tell the class the answer?". "Oh sure. Man. I'm tired so there is Monsters, Spells, and Traps. Monsters can be moved into Normal, Effect, Ritual, Fusion, and Synchro. Spells can be either Normal, Continuous, Field, Equip, Ritual, and Field. The Traps are the final one is Normal, Continuous, and Counter Traps. Anything else? The last two types of monsters are learned later right?" said Shawn.

Crowler's face was open and he said,"You're right. I expected nothing less from my Obelisk students so please sit down.". "Will do." said Shawn who plopped back down. "So can anyone tell me what a field spell does? How about you Syrus Truesdale?!" said Crowler. Syrus then jumped up fast and he said,"Well, A field spell... is.. a ... thing that affects the thing....". He was nervous and shaking as Alice said,"He has stage fright poor guy.".

Shawn looked up to see that Crowler was enjoying this and he thought,'What a horrible man. You are going down and tripping him is first on that plan.'. "Even babies know this easy as hell answer you freaking Slifer Slacker!" said a Obelisk student. Every Obelisk started laughing with Shawn rolling his eyes with the girls (Alexis, Alice, and Clara) followed him. "I know this one! So shut up!" said Syrus. He was about to cry and Nick said,"You got this little buddy.".

Crowler said,"Not at all! Sit down!". The boy sat down and Crowler said,"Now would someone else tell me the answer? I hope someone not in red thank you very much.". The Obelisk and a few of the yellows started laughing beside for Alexis, Alice, Bastion, Clara, and Shawn. "Man. I totally messed it. I made all of us look bad." said Syrus. "Hey crossdresser!" said a voice. Nick and Syrus looked up to see Shawn standing up.

Shawn said,"Do you get some sick pleasure for making fun of kids? I mean that's messed up and I'm thinking about the time during the exams where you lost to Nick pretty badly if I recall. How about you stop making fun of the Slifers because you're just making fun of yourself.". Angry, Crowler bit down on his handkerchief while the class got into a laughing frenzy. 'I don't care if he is a Obelisk but I want him out of my school!' thought Crowler.

The next teacher was someone nice and it was the headmaster for the Slifer Red Dorm. "My name is Professor Lyman Banner, I specialize in some of the lesser known tactics known in our world of dueling." said Banner. Shawn was sleeping with him being woken up by someone tapping his left shoulder. He opened his left eye and he saw Syrus. "Wow. What are you doing here Sy?" said Shawn who yawned.

Syrus said,"Hey. Thanks for standing up for me.". "It't no problem Sy. I mean we're pals and I stick up for my pals. I know Nick would do the same thing if he isn't sleeping." said Shawn. The two saw the Hero duelist who was dead asleep. "Yeah." said Syrus. "Oh. Guess it's time for round two." said Shawn. He saw Banner looking at them and he said,"Syrus.". "Um yes." said Syrus. "I don't mind you talking to your friends but we have a problem. Look down." said Banner.

Syrus looked down to see Pharaoh rubbing against his legs and Shawn said,"So are you minoring in a scratching post or what?". The class giggled as Banner said,"Do you mind bringing him to me Syrus Truesdale?". The boy's face was red as he walked down there. Shawn smiled,'Are you serious about that? Man, fate hates you Sy and I thought it hated me. Banner is strange. Crowler would have yelled at Syrus for not paying attention to him lecture. Weird dude.'.

Later in Crowler's office. the doctor was currently writing a letter down with a white feather pen. "He is a pain in my ass! I'll make sure that he pays for making fun of me." said Crowler. He then folded the letter and he placed inside of an envelope. "It will be the last mistake that you will ever make. It will be glorious." said Crowler. He then picked up a mirror and started placing red lipstick on his lips with Dark Magician standing there.

The magician sighed and he said,"And I thought that Axel was bad about this. I can't believe that I'm stuck watching this idiot.". He kissed the back of his letter and he chuckled to himself,"And here is the big kissoff!". He kissed the letter and he ran out of the office. The wizard followed him to the boy's locker room since Shawn's next class was gym. He then placed the letter in what he thought to be his locker and he ran off fast.

The spellcaster said,"I should go tell Shawn but he will enjoy dueling against whoever Crowler wrote down regardless. I better just let things happen.". "Stupid girl's gym!" said a voice. The wizard turned around to see Syrus running in and he said,"Man. They need totally make the signs bigger!". He then saw Shawn's shoes and he said,"I guess Shawn thought this was his locker.". He read the letter and he said,"What is this? It isn't Shawn's locker right?".

He opened the letter and he read the letter which said,"From the moment that I met you, I've been in love with your. Meet me tonight in the back of the Obelisk Girls's Dormitory so I can give you a big smooch. Longingly, Alekis Rodes.". Syrus's eyes turned to hearts and he said,"Me and Alexis? That's hot.". He imagined her and him together with the magician above him sighing in anger. "This sucks a big one.".

Later, the group was in their last class of the day. It was Dueling 101 with Ms. Melissa Burnside. She is a teacher who works only for that class. Nick looked at Syrus who had a big grin on his face and he thought,'Man. I've never seen Syrus this happy ever. I wonder if gym was fine or something like that or lunch.'. Nick looked up to see Melissa talking to the class. She has long purple hair that goes up to her shoulder and gray eyes. She wearing a female version of the Slifer Red Uniform.

Melissa said,"So who would like to go first in our first duel of the school year?". They were in the Obelisk Duel Arena as Nick said,"I do!". "I guess we have our first duelist. Whose next?" said the woman who sweat dropped at Nick's excitement. "How about you Shawn?" said Alice. "Meh. I think me and Nick's duel should wait. What about you?" said Alice. "I would!" said a voice. It was one of Chazz's friends Torimaki aka blue hair.

Melissa said,"I guess a duel between an Obelisk and Slifer would be a good first duel. Would you two get ready?". The two got ready and she said,"You two may smack talk each other if you want. I think that this is going to be good to boost the energy of the duel". "Sure. You and your friend are going down. Time to show you who is superior Slifer Sludge!" said Torimaki or Tor. "Right. Time to see if your bite is good as your bark." said Nick. "Duel!" said the two and they activated their duel disk.

Tor: 4000 Life Points.
Nick: 4000 Life Points.

Tor said,"I'll go first! Blue is better than red!". He drew his opening hand and sixth card and he said with a smile."I summon Mechanicalchaser in attack mode!". A six-armed robot stood there and with one eye and two green wings. Its legs was a sword aimed toward the ground. It was carrying a lethal weapon or a weapon.  (4/1850/800). "I'll end my turn with a face down card. Your move Slifer." said Tor.

Nick drew a card and he smiled, "Sweet. I play the spell card Double Summon. I can now summon two monsters this turn and I have the perfect team. I summon Elemental Hero Knospe and Elemental Hero Lady Heat both in attack mode!". A cute rosebud stood there with two leaves on her back like wings and rosebuds for hands. She had blue eyes and a permanent pink blush on her cheek. The girls in the crowd that she was cute. (3/600/1000).

Next to her stood a fiery warrior wearing a white bodysuit with a red and gold skirt with red handless gauntlets. Her bright blue eyes were focused on Tor while the guys in the crowd were cheering for her for an obvious reason. (4/1300/1000). "So what the heck are those two going to do? My machine will cut them to pieces." said Tor. "I know that. My plant has a special effect being that she can attack you directly since Lady Heat is here. Lets goes sweetie!" said Nick.

The girl smiled as she pelt Tor with seeds and he growled. "And when she deals battle damage, she gains 100 attack points but lose 100 defense points." said Nick. (Knopse 3/600-700/1000-900). "I'll will end my turn by using Lady Heart's special effect and a face down. You take two hundred points of damage for each one of my heroes including her and I count two." said Nick. Tor was belted with two fireballs as a card appeared behind the two.

Tor: 3000 Life Points.
Nick: 4000 Life Points.

Tor said,"So you are stuck using effects to actually hit me. How sad Slifer Sludge. I draw!". He held a card and he said,"I summon Robotic Knight in attack mode!". A red and black robot who looked like a military general stood next to the other machine. In its right hand was a sword and its left hand was a machine gun. (4/1600/1800). "So I guess you're a Robot Otaku." said Nick. "Shut up freak! Destroy his monsters!" yelled Tor.

The robots rushed toward the heroes and Nick said,"I now play my face down card which is the trap known as Elemental Recharge! This lets me gain 1000 life points for every Elemental Hero on my field and I count two.". A card that showed a glass tube in which was Burstinatrix being recharged with electricity surround the tube appeared and Nick glowed white. "Whatever. Destroy those weak monsters already!" said Tor. They slashed the monsters in half causing damage.

Tor: 3000 Life Points.
Nick: 4550 Life Points.

Shawn thought,'Man. That move worked more than I thought in Nick's Favor. Good for him.'. Tor said to himself,"I can't believe it. You're going down.". "I end my turn with a face down. You are up." said Tor. Nick drew a card and Tor said,"Stop! I play my trap card! Final Attack Orders! This forces all of your monsters into attack mode!". "Okay. I love to fight up close and personal. I play the spell card Pot of Greed which lets me draw two cards." said Nick.

He drew two cards and he said,"Okay. I now play Polymerization to fuse Elemental Hero Avian and Elemental Hero Wingman to summon Elemental Hero Flame Wingman in attack mode!". The fusion monster stood there and Nick said,"Okay. I remember what happened last time so I end my turn. It is a bad idea.". (6/2100/1200). "What does he mean by that?" said Clara. "Oh nothing." said Shawn. 'I guess Nick isn't all gungho. Good for him.' thought Shawn.

Tor said while drawing,"I now play my face down card! DNA Surgery!". "Okay. So what does it do exactly?" said Clara. "It changes all of Nick and Tor's monsters into whatever monster type that Tor wants and I think I know which one he is picking." said Shaw. "I pick Machines!" said Tor. Nick saw his hero get a metallic upgrade. "Man. That is so cool not!" said Nick. "Shut up Slacker! I first send my mechanicalchaser to the grave so I can summon Machine King in attack mode!" said Tor.

A giant robot stood in the place of the six armed one. It had red arms and center with a sliver body and legs with its eyes glowing red. (6/2200/1500). "He has a special effect being that he gains 100 attack points for each machine type monster on the field." said Tor. It's eyes glowed bright as Tor said,"Now! Destroy that hero with Shock Rocket Fist!". (6/2400/1500). The attack destroyed the hero as Tor said,"Go my knight!".

Tor: 3000 Life Points.
Nick: 2650 Life Points.

Nick was launched onto the ground by the attack as the others laughed at him. "So have you learned your place yet?" said Tor. Nick started laughing and he said,"Nope! Thanks for a pretty sweet duel by the way! Man, I'm fired up now!". He jumped back up and he drew a card. "Sweet. I play the spell card Card of Sanctity! This lets both of us draw until we both have six cards in our hands." said Nick who smiled.

Nick drew 5 cards and Tor drew 3 cards. He smiled as he said,"Sweet! I just won the duel!". "How did you do that Slifer?" said Tor. "By this sweet combo. I first play the spell Hammer Shot! Turn to that king into scrap metal!" said Nick. A giant hammer smashed the robot to pieces as Tor said,"You are lucky Slifer.". "My luck isn't done yet. I play the field spell Fusion Gate! This allows me to fuse without a polymerization card!" said Nick.

Shawn said,"This is good for Nick since his deck revolves around Fusion. This duel is his in the back now.". "I play Monster Reborn to bring my Flame Wingman!" said Nick. The hero return back to the field as Nick said,"I now fuse Elemental Hero Flame Wingman and Elemental Hero Sparkman in my hand together to form my Elemental Hero Shining Flare Wingman!" said Nick. A brighter version of the hero with it being very bright. (8/2500/2100).

Tor said,"So what the hell is that glowing freak going to do?". "I now play the spell card R-Righteous Justice!" said Nick. A giant R appeared in front of the hero with Nick saying,"This lets me destroy a spell or trap card and I get to destroy more than one if I have more than one Elemental Hero but since I have one hero, I'll pick your DNA Surgery! Lets change everything back to normal! To bring my hero!" said Nick.

The letter destroy DNA Surgery turning the hero back to normal. "Alright! I now activate my hero's special effect! For every Element Hero in my grave, he gets 300 ATK. So I count Elemental Hero Knopse and Lady Heat." said Nick. The hero glowed brighter. (8/2500-3100/2100). "Attack him with Solar Flare!" said Nick. The robot was destroy in a burst of light as Nick said,"You remember my Flame Wingman's special power right? He has that too.".

Tor: 0 Life Points.
Nick: 2650 Life Points. Winner!

Tor was defeated and Nick said,"And that's game!". The crowd cheered for Nick and he said,"Thank you! I'll be here all week.". Tor grumbled off as Melissa said,"Well done Mr. Conner. I hope you keep showing us how to duel later on in the year.". "Sure thing." said Nick. He cheered as Shawn looked at the small Slifer and he thought,'I wonder what's up with Sy. He should be cheering loudly for Nick. I hope he is alright.'.

Later that night. Syrus was making his way to the girl's campus where he was going to meet Alexis Rhodes. Little did our little bluenette know that Crowler was nearby him wearing a tight black leotard and this brought up some questions. 'This is perfect! I got Shawn here thanks to that fake love letter and it'll be perfect! A picture of Shawn doing something wrong back here will get him expelled for sure!' thought Crowler.

His plan fell apart as he saw Syrus. "Alexis!" said Syrus. "That isn't Shawn! It is that field spell idiot from class!" yelled Crowler. However, that yell brought some trouble if you're a guy. "What is a boy doing here in our dorm!?" said a girl. "I'm not a boy! I am a man!" said Crowler. He jumped into the lake and he dove into the water to escape but it wasn't him. It was poor and tiny Syrus who was tied up by the girls who can be vicious when they want to be.

Clara said,"You're kidding right?". She stood there with her arms crossed as she heard Syrus's reason for being here along with Alexis and Alice plus a brunette/Jasmine and black hair girl/Mindy. They were all in their uniform by the way. "Why would Alexis send you a love letter? You're not serious are you?" said Mindy. "Just ask her, it is the truth!" said Syrus who winked at Alexis which made Alice roll her eyes.

Jasmine said,"Uh, hello? Alexis is really tall and hot and really good at dueling while you're nothing but Nick's sidekick.". "It's the truth! Just read it please!" said Syrus. He then pulled the letter out of his back pocket and Alexis read it. Clara read it behind her shoulder as Alexis said,"Hey my name is spelled wrong Syrus. I am just impressed that someone got a very easy name wrong.". "Really? You don't love me." said Syrus. "Hold on. This is addressed to Shawn and not you." said Clara.

Syrus said,"Man. I can't get a fake love letter.". "That isn't the point. You know that Shawn is the one boy who can be here without being expelled and this was addressed to him. Someone is trying to get him expelled and must not know about him staying here." said Alice. "We don't know if that is true Alice. I mean he could have written that note to just come here and I don't like Shawn here in the first place." said Jasmine. "Should we turn him in then?" said Mindy.

The five girls heard,"Girls, what is going on down there?". Alice, Jasmine, and Mindy sat on him to hide him while Alexis and Clara stood in front of him. It was Ms. Fonda Fontaine. "Sorry about the noise, Ms. Fontaine. We will be sure to be quiet." said Alexis. "And maybe lose some weight." said Syrus. He felt his hand gets stepped on by heels as Fonda said,"Okay. It is almost midnight and I've Pilates in the morning.".

She was gone and went to bed thanks to Clara make sure of it. Syrus was rubbing his hand from the heels and Mindy said,"So what now?". "Remember what we were talking in the bath. I wanted to duel Shawn for a while now so I think this is the perfect chance to do that." said Alexis. Syrus gulped as he was dragged off by Clara who was stronger than she looks. Alexis then talked with Alice and Mindy while Jasmine grumbled.

At the Slifer Dorm. Chumley was well sleeping (nothing new here). Nick started to play video games that he was decent at. "Sweet! A 300 point combo!" said Nick on a hand held console. He heard the door knock and a voice,"Hey Nick. You home?". Nick opened the door and he saw Shawn standing there. "Oh hey Shawn. What's up?" said Nick. "Is Syrus here? I heard something strange and I need to confirm it." said Shawn.

Nick said,"No....". Nick's Duel Pilot rang and he said,"Hold on a second.". He answered it and it had no picture but a static image of a screen. "We have your friend Syrus hostage. If you want him back without any injuries, bring Shawn Alvarez with you and nothing else." said a deep and mysterious voice. "I'm too late aren't I?" said Dark Magician. The spirit floated and Shawn said to him,"We will talk later. So tell me what happened?".

The spirit told him what happened and Nick said,"What happened?". "Well the rumor was that Syrus was going to the girls dorm with a smile on his face." said Shawn. "Yeah. Chumley told me that when I came back from the showers. Why didn't you stop him?" said Nick. Chumley snored as Shawn said to Nick,"I don't think we have time for that. We should get going. I can get a boat.". The spirit nearby nodded as the two ran out of the dorm.

Over on the girl's side of the lake, Alexis plus the other girls from the dorm stood there with Syrus who was tied up. "I see him coming!" said Mindy. "And he is rowing without touching the rows at all? That's impressive." said Alice. Shawn had Nick rowing for him and Shawn said,"Arg! Where be Private Syrus?". "Hi you guys." said Syrus who looked down. "So what is going on really?" said Nick who got a summary of what happened from Shawn.

Syrus said,"Well, I'm just a massive loser.". Shawn got down to his level and he said,"No you are not Sy. You're just a little shy and I bet that if you try your best, you are awesome. I used to be like you know Sy but I had a angel save me and I will do the same thing.". "Shawn." said Syrus. "Okay. Who wants to duel me?" said Shawn. "I will. Are you ready to lose? You know that if you lose Nick and Syrus get expelled right?" said Alexis. Shawn looked at his friends and he said,"Bring it on!".

The duel was standing place on the duel arena right next to the lake with the crowd of girls watching with Nick and Syrus who was still tied up. Crowler peeked his head out and he said,"How interesting to watch. Put him in his place Alexis.". "Duel!" said the two. "You're up first Lex." said Shawn who held his five cards. Alexis nodded as she said,"I summon Etoile Cyber!". A red haired ballerina in a orange leotard spun out there. (4/1200/1600).

Alexis: 4000 Life Points.
Shawn: 4000 Life Points.

Alexis said,"I end my turn with a face down. Your turn.". Shawn drew a card and he thought,'Alexis, I know you better than you think.". He looked at his hand and he said,"I summon Twilight Rose Knight in attack mode and this is going to be good.". A knight in purple and red stood there and she aimed her sword at Alexis. (4/1000/1000). "Her special effect activates and I special summon my Magic Flower in defense mode." said Shawn.

A flower stood there and it had several magic symbols around it. (2/0/2000). "This plant may be weak now but it has a special effect. For every monster on my field excluding herself, she is able to create a plant token." said Shawn. A weird plant appeared next to the knight. (2/500/500). "I first send my token to the grave. This weakens your ballerina!" said Shawn. The little plant token was gone as the ballerina felt weaker from a weird yellow aura. (4/1200-0/1600-0).

Shawn said,"Now! Attack her ballerina!". She rushed toward the weaken ballerina and Alexis said,"I now activate my face down! Double Passe!". A flamenco dancer stood there as the ballerina dodged the attack. The sword however went right through Alexis and she said,"Your attack turns into a direct one on me but I get to attack you directly with my Etoile Cyber whose attack goes up 600 by the way.". (4/0-600). She then kicked Shawn in the ribs pushing him back slightly.

Alexis: 3000 Life Points.
Shawn: 3400 Life Points.

Syrus said,"Shawn!". "Man. I forgot how hard her kicks hurt. Remember me to never piss her off again." said Shawn. He looked up at her and Alexis said,"You impressed?". "Impressed. You're dead wrong. I'm in love." said Shawn. "Yeah, you are so sweet and I do feel bad about crushing you. So are you done?" said Alexis. "Yeah Alexis Rhodes. I end my turn with a face down." said Shawn. (4/600-0-1200/0-1600). A card appeared out of nowhere and Alexis drew a card.

Alexis said,"I now summon Blade Skater in attack mode.". Another gray skinned woman stood there but this one was bald and wearing an ice skate on her wrists. (4/1400/1500). She stood in front of Alexis and Alexis said,"I play Polymerization to fuse Etoile Cyber and Blade Skater to summon Cyber Blader!". A new monster stood there and she had light blue hair. She was also wearing an orange and white leotard and a set of futuristic glasses over her eyes. (6/2100/800).

Shawn waved to her and she said,"It's you. Alexis! It's Bart!". Alexis ignored her and she said,"It is like she can't see her childhood friend in front of her.". Shawn shrugged as Alexis said,"Attack his knight! Whirlwind Rage!". The ballerina rushed toward the knight who was ready to try and block the attack. "Don't worry. I got this. Go!" said Shawn. He pressed a button on his disk as Alexis saw that her attack hit a different target.

It was a steam punk looking scarecrow and Shawn said,"Thank you once again Scrap Iron Scarecrow since it blocked that powerful heel." She went back as the card went back down. "Man. It is like he knows every move that Alexis is going to make." said Mindy. "He must have taken a look at her deck when she wasn't looking." said Jasmine. "She isn't that smart is she?" said Cyber Blade. "I end my turn." said Alexis.

Shawn drew a card and he said,"I hope this jogs your memory Lex. I play the spell card Pot of Greed and you know that this does.". He drew two cards and he said,"I now summon my Skilled White Magician in attack mode.". A wizard stood there and he looked serious with him three glowing gems on his shoulder pads and under his neck with the female gaining power from the second monster on Shawn's field. (Skilled White Magician: 4/1700/1900). (Cyber Blader: 6/2100-4200/800).


Shawn said."I play the spell card Spell Power Grasp. This spell gives a counter.". The magician's left shoulder pad glowed and Shawn added a card to his hand from his deck. "I synchro summon my level four Twilight Rose Knight and level four Skilled White Magician to bring out my Stardust Dragon!" said Shawn. The two monster glowed as their combined light flew into the air. The light faded as a white dragon stood there. It roared causing some of the girls to be scared of it. (8/2500/2000).

(Cyber Blader: 6/4200-2100/800). Shawn said,"Remember this guy?". "How do you know how to Synchro Summon?" said Alexis who was in shock of a dragon. "My master taught me how and also I attack your monster. I know that it won't destroy her but you still lose life points. Cosmic Flare!" said Shawn. The attack hit the warrior who survived the attack but Alexis still lost life points. "Every point counts. You taught me that Alexis along with my master. I end my turn. You're up." said Shawn.

Alexis: 2600 Life Points.
Shawn: 3400 Life Points.

Alexis drew a card and she said,"Perfect. I play the equip spell Fusion Weapon. This gives her an extra 1500 attack and defense points.". The warrior noticed that her hand was now a tri-pronged blaster which was aimed at the dragon. (7/2100-3600/800-2300). "I know what you're going to do so I play the spell Mystical Space Typhoon to get rid of Scrap Iron Scarecrow!" said Alexis. The wind storm came to Shawn's field and he said,"Sorry about this Lex.".

Shawn said,"I now play my dragon's special effect. By sending him to the grave, your spell card is negated.". The wind was gone as the dragon went with it. "Attack him directly! Trident Blast!" said Alexis. "I play the spell Half Shot! This decreased the damage by half thank god for this card am I right?" said Shawn. Shawn was blasted back with a spiral shaped lightning blast and Nick said,"I can't believe this duel Sy. It is so awesome.".

Alexis: 2600 Life Points.
Shawn: 1600 Life Points.

Shawn walked back up to Alexis who said,"Looking a little low there aren't you Shawn? I hope that Nick and Syrus haven't gotten too attached to Duel Academy.". "She is right. You two are going to expelled once Shawn here lose." said Mindy. "I don't want that!" said Syrus. "Don't worry Syrus. I won't let that happen." said Shawn who smiled at him. "Don't make any promises that you can't keep Shawn." said Alexis. "I know that Alexis. You done yet?" said Shawn. "I am." said Alexis.

The dragon then returned back to the field due to his effect. Shawn drew a card and he said,"Perfect! I now play the spell Monster Reborn bring back my Skilled White Magician!". The magician returned back to the field with him looking slightly annoyed. (4/1700/1900). "I play the spell card Spell Power Grasp again!" said Shawn. "That spell didn't do anything the first time Shawn so what is it going to do now?" said Alexis. "Just watch and learn." said Shawn.

The wizard's right shoulder pad glowed this time as Shawn added another card to his hand. "I now play the spell card Enemy Controller. I send my magician back to the grave so I can control your monster." said Shawn. "So he brought back his monster just to get rid of it?" said Clara. "What a weird move." said Jasmine. The warrior stood on Shawn's side and he said,"I now play the spell card Polymerization. I fuse Stardust Dragon and Cyber Blader to fusion summon!".

The two monster jumped in a portal and Shawn said,"Dragon Knight Draco-Equiste!". A dragon warrior hybrid stood there with him holding his lance ready to attack. (10/3200/3000). Alexis then looked at the boy across from her and she thought,'Bart? Is that you?'. "Attack!" said Shawn. The dragon aimed his lance at Alexis which defeated her in one strike. Alexis was on the ground and Nick said,"Man. That was an awesome duel!".

Alexis: 0 Life Points. 
Shawn: 1600 Life Points. Winner

Shawn walked over to Syrus who then tackled him. "I'm sorry Shawn!" said Syrus. Shawn said while trying to get him off,"Don't fret so much Sy. You would do the same for me.". "I guess you are free to go and that was a nice duel Shawn." said Alice. "I don't think we should let them go you guys if you ask me." said Jasmine who growled at Nick. "Well, no one was asking you." said Clara. "See you guys later." said Shawn who waved.

The two ran to the boat as Shawn said to Alexis,"Wow. You got really strong huh.". "I did. Can we have a moment alone?" said Alexis. "But..." said Mindy. She was dragged by Clara and Jasmine thought to herself,'How does those two know each other?! I won't let the Queen of Obelisk fall for a Obelisk Wannabe!'. Alexis stood there with her saying,"Shawn. You need to tell me the truth.". "What is it Lex?" said Shawn.

Alexis said,"Is your real name Bartholomew Thomas Reynolds? You have one of his cards. I know that card anywhere.". "Which one are you talking about Lex? I have so many that I lost track of all of them." said Shawn. "You know which one. That monster that you used to defeat me." said Alexis. He looked at her and he looked around. "Yep. It's me." said Shawn. She hugged him and she started to cry on his shoulder.

Crowler who was inside of the water saw this and he said,"What is he doing? He is hugging Alexis Rhodes! I will find a way to get rid of him along with Nick. Now, I need to find a way home.". He went under the water without saying any word. Alexis said,"I can't believe. I thought I would never see you again.". "Well, I got a lot of secrets. Can we go talk in my room? I mean you're my neighbor across the way." said Shawn. "Right." said Alexis. The two walked inside.

Chapter 4: Exams, a Slifer's Kryptonite. 
Narrator P.O.V.
It was the day before the first exams of the year as Shawn was in Professor Sartyr's Class, and he was finishing up another lecture. After the first day, the students were in different periods with different people. Shawn was happy to have Bastion and Nick in his class but felt cursed since he was stuck with Chazz and his lackeys. He felt mixed feelings about the whole thing. As the class ended, Sartyr spoke up before the students left.

Sartyr said,"I would like to remind all of you that the promotional exams starting tomorrow morning headed by Doctor Banner. They are similar to the entrance exams instead of it consisting of forty five questions and five duel puzzles. There will be a thirty minute reprieve before the dueling exams. It'll be students from the same dorm paired up to see who moves up a rank or in Obelisk's case, stay. So I hope you all study well and wish you good luck!".

The class was dismissed and everyone cleared talking about things and one person was the Chazz. "I don't need to take these exams. I'm already the best duelist here." said Chazz. "You're the best?! Ha, that is Zane's spot, loser!" said a voice that shawn knew as Jasmine. She is one of Alexis's friends and she hates his guts for some reason. She told him when he wanted to hang once,"Get lost slime! I so don't want to be seen with a wannabe.".

Shawn said,"I'm totally not interested in her.". "Well this is Zane's last year, so I'll be the next Kaiser of Duel Academy!" yelled Chazz. "Man. That guy is sure winded up. He needs someone to help him release that pent-up energy." said Shawn. "Indeed. I thought our good friend Nick would be arguing with Chazz but...." said Bastion. The two looked to see Nick who was staring at a book and Shawn said,"I don't think he wants to be in Slifer that much longer. I mean Ra is nice right?".

Bastion said,"It is. So are you feeling about the tests?". "Pretty good. I mean you and I got the two highest scores." said Shawn. "And your duelings skills are just as good as mine." said Bastion. "So are you for a duel bud?" said Shawn. "How about after studying and these tests?" said Bastion. "You are right about that. Let me just grab Nick. Meet you at the Library later." said Shawn. "Right." said Bastion who walked off. Shawn helped Nick up from his chair since his legs were asleep.

Later, the Ra Yellow said goodbye to the Obelisk and Slifer after studying. Bastion said that he need to head to the card shack that benefited one of his many decks. Shawn thought it was weird that he had so many decks but he had a lot as well and watching him duel against Dimitri a couple of days, it was a bad idea to question Bastion and his ways. "Man! I can't believe that we are going to eat in the Girls's Dining Hall. Thanks man." said Nick.

Shawn said,"No problem man. Just know that the girls may think two of things of me. I mean you've heard the rumors.". "Yeah. I mean I don't think you're an experiment and I know that you wouldn't take advantage of Lex like that." said Nick. "Thanks man. Do you think I could pull off a delinquent look?" said Shawn. "Sure. I don't think you could hit on Ms. Fontaine though." said Nick. "Yeah. She is way too hot." said Nick.

"Hey Slifer Idiot! I have a bone to pick with you!" said a voice. The two looked up to see Tor across the lake. He stood there and Nick said,"What do you want? You lost to me last time or do want your robots to get recycled?". "Hah! That was just a practice deck to throw you off. Now I'll show you my skills with my real deck!" said Tor. "So should I be here or what?" said Shawn. "Can it Wannabe. So ready to duel?" said Tor.

Nick said,"But I left my duel disk back at the dorm though.". "Fine. I guess we just have to fight the old fashioned way." said Tor who got ready to fight. "You know that I can and will throw you into the lake right?" said Shawn. "I don't think you should be fighting his battle for him. The Disciplinary Committee will do your job for him." said a voice. The three saw a girl standing there wearing the girls uniform except it was a yellow color.

She had white hair that were parted to the side of her face and blue eyes. She was really pretty and Nick was quiet. "Who the hell are you?" said Tor. "Man. I bet Mindy wouldn't even date you. You should be nice to her if you want a chance to score at all. She is Julie Art right? I could be wrong but I'm not." said Shawn. "Yes. You're right. It's fine. So is your friend already?" said Julie. He was quiet as Shawn said,"Who knows? His name is Nick Conner by the way.".

Julie said,"Anyway, I need to test out my deck and I think you will be the perfect person for it.". "I'll get to squash a bug so I'm good!" said Tor. The two activated their duel disk as they said while they drew their opening hand,"Let's Duel!". "Ladies first." said Julie. She looked at the new card that she just added and she said,"Okay. I got a plan. I first place down two face down cards and I summon my Dark Blade in defense mode.".

Julie: 4000 Life Points.
Tor: 4000 Life Points.

Two cards then appeared behind an warrior who was in pitch black armor and he was in a defending position. (4/1800/1500) "I guess I end my turn. You're up." said Julie. "Hey. Is she a Warrior duelist like Lex?" said Nick. "Oh welcome back. Just watch and you'll figure it out." said Shawn. "My turn!" said Tor. He drew a card and he said,"I summon Lord of Dragons in attack mode!". A man in white bone armor stood there with him always wearing a blue cape. (4/1200/1100).

Shawn said,"Ah. You are a Dragon Duelist just like me.". "Shut up! I'll sick them on you Shawn after I finishes her off here and her little boyfriend." said Tor. "Hey. I am right here. Come on." said Julie who tapped her boot down. "You must want to lose badly! I play the spell the Flute of Summoning Dragons." said Tor. A flute looking very much like a dragon's head appeared in his hands and he then started playing it.

Tor said,"I now summon two more dragons to the field! I pick Spear Dragon and Cave Dragon in attack mode!". Two dragons appeared next to the spellcaster. The first dragon had blue scales and a tan underbelly with a long nose. Its arms was also its huge wings and its head were two white horns making him look pretty pointy. (4/1900/0). The second dragon was on all fours and it had more of a Dino like appearance aka a Ankylosaurus in my opinion (4/2000/100).

Julie said,"Rats.". "Spear Dragon! Attack with Cyclone Burst!" said Tor. The dragon fired out a huge and sharp burst of wind at the warrior which exploded. "And when he hits a monster in defense mode, it still takes damage." said Tor. Julie felt a huge burst of wind hit her and Tor said,"Attack her with Emerald Stream!". A huge burst of emeralds were about to come out and Julie said,"I activate my face down A Hero Emerges!".

Julie: 3600 Life Points.
Tor: 4000 Life Points.

She held her hand in front of him and she said,"Pick a card.". Tor looked at her hand and he said,"I pick the one to the right!". She smiled as she said,"I now special summon Amphibian Beast in attack mode!". A weird fish like monster then stood there and he slapped the attack right back at Tor upon appearing. (6/2400/2000). "It was a good thing that she had that card or else bad new for her." said Shawn. "Right. Doesn't your dragon goes into defense mode now right?" said Julie.

Julie: 3600 Life Points.
Tor: 3600 Life Points.

Tor said,"Yeah! I end my turn with a face down.". A card appeared behind his monsters as Julie said with a smile,"I draw!". She drew a card and she said,"I now play the spell Mystical Space Typhoon and destroying your face down!"."Stop! I activate my face down Imperial Order meaning that you can't use your spells." said Tor. A card with a king ordering his men appeared next to Tor. "Okay. It's fine. I activate my face down card for plan b." said Julie.

A card with four monsters staring down a monster who was coming out of a green door. "This is the Dark Door. This spell makes the both of us only allowed to use one monster in the battle phase. I now play a spell card known as Raigeki!" said Julie. "You know that since I have my Lord of D...." said Tor. "I know his effect but your monster can be destroyed." said Julie. "Oh shit!" said Tor. The wizard exploded from the lightning.

Nick said,"That was awesome!". "I now attack your Cave Dragon with Ocean Ball Blast!" said the girl. The dragon was destroyed by the huge ball of water. "And I end my turn with a face down!" said Julie. Her hand was completely empty with a card behind her monster. Tor drew a card and he said,"I now play the spell card Card of Sanctity! This lets both of us draw cards until we both have six in our hand.".

Julie: 3600 Life Points.
Tor: 3200 Life Points.

Julie drew six cards while Tor drew four cards. "Hey thanks for that." said Julie. "I'm a nice guy and I am making you feel my wrath. I stop Imperial Order's special effect!" said Tor. The card shattered in pieces as Tor said,"I now play the field spell card Mountain!". The field suddenly changed into a spot where the duelists plus the spectators were enveloped in mountains. "This spell increase all of my dragon's attack and defense points." said Tor.

The dragon flew up there and he perched himself there. (4/1900-2100/0-200). "I won't be attacking with my Spear Dragon but actually my Krystal Dragon!" said Tor. The blue dragon was gone with the new dragon being a crystal dragon and it roared at the fish. (6/2500-2700/1000-1200). "And I will be adding insult to injury by playing the equip spell card Dragon Treasure!" said Tor. The crystal dragon glowed blue. (6/2700-3000/1200-1500).

Shawn whispered to Nick,"Me thinks Tor is compensated for something.". "What?" said Nick. "His bad deck or also his...." said Shawn. "Boys. You know that this is overkill right?" said Julie. "I am a Obelisk Blue! We have to show our power in every duel. Destroy her fish with Aurora Beam!" said Tor. The dragon fired a huge burst of light blue flame that touch the fish freezing and then destroying him and it also hit Julie who barely dodged the icy attack.

Julie: 3000 Life Points.
Tor: 3200 Life Points.

Tor said,"And I think you'll like this! I play Dragon's Gunfire!". Julie lost more life points about 800 more with the blue flame. "I think that I'm done now." said Tor. Julie shook for a second and Shawn said,"You alright Jul?". "Yeah. I'm fine." said Julie who smiled. "Hey lackey. You are going to regret being a dick." said Shawn. "What do you mean?!" said Tor. Julie drew a card and she said,"I now play Call of the Haunted and I pick back my Dark Blade!".

Julie: 2200 Life Points.
Tor: 3200 Life Points.

The armored warrior stood there with Tor laughing. (4/1800/1500). "Are you serious? That is nothing compared to my dragon." said Tor. He felt a glare from the warrior and Julie said,"Making fun of me is fun but my deck hates being made fun. Bad pride. I now play the spell card. New Study! This spell switches one of my monster's type into whatever I want. I pick Spellcaster!". The dark warrior turned into a wizard.

Shawn thought,'I know this move. I use this move when I need Dark Magician.'. "I now play the spell card Magical Dimension!" said Julie. A golden sarcophagus appeared behind the mage like knight and Julie said,"Since I have a spellcaster, I can put him back to bring out a new spellcaster in its place and I think I have the perfect one in mind.". The former warrior was sucked up into the sarcophagus and it closed shut.

Julie said,"I now summon Cosmic Queen in attack mode!". The coffin opened up and a powerful witch stood there. (8/2900/2450). "So? What is that freak going to do?!" said Tor. "You forgot about her card's secondary effect. Haven't you Tor?" said Nick. "He is right. I now get to special summon a spellcaster from my deck like before and it cost one of your monster so I pick your Krystal Dragon." said Julie as the coffin swallowed the dragon hole.

"Hey! That's mine!" yelled Tor. "I now normal summon Breaker the Magical Warrior!" said Julie. A warrior wearing ruby red armor with matching shield and sword. (4/1600/1000). "And since he was normal summoned, he gets a spell counter!" said Julie. While saying this, a blue glowing symbol appear on his shield. (3/1600-1900/1000). "Not again!" yelled Tor. "I got nothing else. Destroy him you two so teach him a lesson." said Julie. They hit him and Tor fell to the ground.

Julie: 2200 Life Points. Winner!
Tor: 0 Life Points.

Julie said,"And that the end of this match. So I thought Obelisk were the best.". "Most aren't Julie but I am. You Ra and Slifers are way stronger. I don't think you should be picking on anyone else. I will hurt you if I hear otherwise." said Shawn with a very angry voice. "Grr! Wait till Chazz hears about this! It will be your defeat!" yelled Tor. He ran back to his dorm with Shawn saying,"He is one of the many if now several Obelisk who gives us a bad name.".

Nick said,"Yeah. You, Lex, Alice, and Clara are nice but the rest eh. Good job out there.". He got closer to her and she said while a blush on her face and turning her head away,"Uh. thanks.". 'I guess she likes Nick too. Can't tell Lex about this.' thought Shawn. "So do you want to join us? I mean the Obelisk mess hall is going to be awesome." said Nick. "Um. Are you sure that is fine? I mean I can go in the girls dorm for the baths but nothing else." said Julie.

Shawn said,"Yeah. I mean I hate how the Slifers are treated and they're hazed like nothing else. I am nothing like them so Nick and Syrus are good with me and welcome to the club of Shawn's friends and so are Ras. I just hate how they are going to be the next breed of Obelisks.". "I guess you are nothing like them huh." said Julie. She then clapped her hands together and she said,"How about you guys join me? I heard that it is sea food tonight.".

The boys stomach growled and she said,"I guess that's your answer.". "So lets go already. I mean we got some studying for tomorrow and I want to learn more about you." said shanw. "What!? I am sick of studying! Can I eat at the very least before hand!?" said Nick. "Yes." said the two. The three then walked to the dinner hall with them talking about how they started dueling, how they support the deck that they use, and a bit of their home life.

Julie told her that she mainly used Spellcasters and Warriors with Dark Magician, Dark Magician Girl, and Gaia the Fierce Knight since they are famous thanks to Yugi. She wanted to be a good duelist at Duel Academy. Her home life was pretty normal, raised by good parents, watched duel monster on TV and having a great group of friends. She was pretty shy at first but she opened up with her. She also told them that she was an expert sharpshooter.

Nick started with him telling the two about his love of his heroes. He remember being saved by one when he was little and he started to duel with them after that. He says that he wants to be the best hero duelist in the world. Shawn tells them that he is a duelist just looking for some fun. He lied about his reason for being here with Alexis knowing why he is really here. Julie went back to the girls side of the dorm with Nick heading back to Slifer Red and Shawn back to Obelisk Blue.

The very next day, a fleet of ships and air planes were traveled over the ocean. It was like they were heading to war. "Well men. It has been a long journey with attack subs, secret spies and air force fighters but it will be worth it soon. We'll arrive with our payload intact with Duel Academy getting their rare and new cards!" said the captain. The crew cheered afterward as the boat went right in front of the school.

Shawn was currently sleeping in his bed and he didn't noticed that the sun was coming up but he was about to get a rude awakening. "Now Blast Magician! Exploding Spell!" said a voice. A red cloaked magician with a scepter that worked also as a scythe flung under a red orb under Shawn's bed and a large kaboom sound happening. Shawn slammed right into the roof and he said,"What the hell?! You are so dead meat!".

He looked up to see Alexis standing there with Julie. "How did you two get in here?" said Shawn. "It was Alexis's idea by the way." said Julie who pointed to the duelist next to her. "I got your key from Miss. Fontaine and it was her monster." said Alexis. "Jul. Why didn't you wake up Nick? I was going to get up eventually and Nick would sleep through the exams if given a chance." said Shawn. "I don't know. It seems like you needed it more and I thought that sound would wake you up." said Julie.

Shawn said,"I could sleep through a hurricane or a rock concert with ease.". "So has he always been this lazy in the morning?" said Julie. "Yes. He has. Now get dressed." said Alexis. "This girl Jul. It is like she is my wife or something." said Shawn. He then dodged his duel disk thrown at him with Julie saying,"Calm down sister.". "He needs to learn not to mess with a woman in the morning." said the blonde. The two left the room as Shawn started his shower.

Meanwhile, Syrus was sitting at one of the desk in his room and he was wearing a white headbands with three Monster Reborn on it. He was currently playing to a poster of the Egyptian God Card Slifer the Sky Dragon. "Please, please, please let me pass their test. I don't want to be stuck in this red jacket. I don't hate red because it looks great on you but Nick and Shawn helped me study so I don't want to let them down!" said Syrus.

The alarm clock rang much to the fear of Syrus and he almost fell out of the chair that he was sitting in. "I really hate that alarm clock and Nick is sleeping through it like always." said Syrus. He started to push Nick and he said,"Hey Nick. Come on you need to wake up or we going to miss the....". The Hero Duelist punched Syrus as he said,"Wrong! I play my trap card!". "Why can't he ever sleep in defense mode?" said Syrus.

Syrus heard,"Duh Sy.". Chumley peaked his book from the top bunk with his head propped on his arms. "This guy defeated Crowler and we may have a chance to fall him. Let him sleep okay? We got a perfect pass you know." said Chumley. "I totally get why you have been held back for three years Chumley! I better get going! Walk up Nick! I'll save you a seat!" said Syrus. He was gone in a flash as Chumley said,"Nah. Back to sleep.".

In the test room with Banner who was reading a book. It had been thirty minutes with most students into the test. The Obelisk were getting started with the Ras and the Slifers were having trouble. The group of Bastion and Julie were doing good with Shawn missing. Alexis was worried about him but she had a test to focus on. She was already halfway done with her test and she didn't want to mess this up.

"Man that breakfast Chumley made was awesome!" said Nick who gotten up a few minutes ago and running to the test hall. He then noticed Shawn who was talking with himself. 'Okay. I guess he must have slept in too and now he is talking to himself. That's not that weird.' thought Nick. He then saw a heavy-set woman who wore a pink blouse with blue overalls and glasses. She was having trouble pushing a van up a hall.

Nick rushed right next to her with a dust cloud following around the woman. He stopped and he said to himself,"To be late or on time? I'm never on time.". He ran behind the van and he said,"No need to fear! Nick is here!". He pushed the van with the woman saying,"You must be from the auto club.". "I don't think that you should a book by its cover. I don't think Nick knows how a car works." said a voice.

The two saw Shawn and he said,"Sup. I was already late so why not be late more?". "Oh thank you two." said the woman. The two helped her and Shawn said quietly,"A little help here Dark Magician like right now!". The spirit nodded as Shawn glowed purple. He pushed the car farther than normal and they keep on going up the hill. "We did it!" said Nick who was tired. "Thank you. I'll remember this!" said the woman.

Later. Banner said,"You have forty five minutes left.". "Okay.  I'm done." said Syrus who was about to fall asleep. "So I'm here now what?" said Nick. He stood there with a smile and Chazz said,"Hey Slacker! Some of us are trying to pass!". "And I thought you said that you didn't need this test? You are the future Kaiser right?" said Shawn who put his hands behind his hand. "You two should come get your tests." said Banner. "Right professor." said the two.

After one last hour, Banner cleared his throat,"Oka my children. The written exams are over so now please walk and don't run to go get in line for your new rare cards.". "They are here!?" said a student who got happy. "Oh." said Banner. A mass mod of students ran out of the classroom as everyone was gone. Soon,Shawn was sitting there with Bastion and the Sleeping Slifers. 'Man that was so crazy. It's something out of a nightmare.' thought Shawn.

Bastion said,"Everyone is current;y at the card shop. They were to try improve their deck for the field test.". He stood there behind Shawn and Shawn said,"Why didn't you go?". "I don't think a single card will help my perfectly made deck. You?" said Bastion. "Walking up the sleeping beauties. Good luck in your match bro." said Shawn. "I won't be needing it." said Bastion. He walked off as Shawn said,"He sure is something.".

He looked at the two sleeping Slifers and he saw that they finished their exams before they crashed hard. Shawn pushed them down and they woke. "Good morning princess!' said Shawn. "Shawn! Did we sleep through the exams?" said Syrus. "Nope. You two did finished it right before you crashed." said Shawn who smiled. "So why is it a ghost town in here man?" said Nick. "New cards and the such." said Shawn. Nick dragged Syrus out of the room with Shawn following behind them.

At the card shack, the students were banging down on the steel door like zombies wanted brains. The guards from the ship pushed the students away as the captain from the ship was walking toward the door. "Attention!" yelled the captain. He held the a brief case and he said,"Looking for this?". The crowd cheered as the captain opened up the metal door. "Come and get them." said the captain. The metal door opened up and the card shop was seen.

The brief case was on the table and it was empty. "Huh?!" yelled the crowd. Julie pushed through the crowd and she said,"So where did they go?". A counter girl stood there next to the brief case and so was a man in a long black coat and hat. "You know the rules, first come first serve." said the counter girl. "And I was the first one here! So you snooze you lose." said the man. The crowd melted and the wizard girl said,"Darn. I guess this deck will do.".

Later, the trio of Shawn, Nick, and Syrus made it to the card shock and it was also a ghost town. They went up to the counter girl Sadie. "So where are the cards?" said Syrus. "We do have them but they are normal kind, here." said Sadie who placed a single pack on the table. 'I think he thought more than one.' thought Shawn. "I think that your fellow duelists robbed the place if you ask me." said Karen inside of his head. 'I think this is good for Sy but what do I know?' thought Shawn.

"I'm dead meat! I think I failed the written part of the exam and I am going to fail the field part due to my deck not being ready for it." said Syrus. "You take it Sy." said Nick. "Yeah squirt." said Shawn who was bored. "Are you guys sure?" said Syrus. "I'm confident in my deck." said Shawn. "And I may fail a test but dueling, I never fail." said Nick. "Oh you two." said a voice. Shawn then saw the woman from earlier standing there. Karen said,"Hey! It's that fat chick from earlier!".

Meanwhile. A girl was sitting there on a stairwell somewhere with her looking at her deck. She was in Obelisk Blue and she said,"I'm going to destroy him no matter what.". She had ocean blue hair and blue eyes. Her hair was up to her shoulders and she looked extremely beautiful. "He is a pervert and I know that I'm going to defeat him.". "So would you like some help Ms. Winchester?" said a voice who sounded familiar.

She turned around to see the man in a long black coat and hat and she said,"You must be that weirdo who got all of the rare cards earlier. I didn't need any so what do you want and who are you?". "My name is..." said the man. It was Crowler and she said,"Oh. Its you.". "Aren't you shocked?" said the man. "Meh." said the girl. "So would you like some rare cards to defeat Shawn?" said Crowler. "Sure thing." said the girl.

Later. Julie caught up with Nick who said,"Hey Jul. Who are you up against?". "Some guy named Dennis. What about you?" said Julie. "Dimitri. He is a Ra right?" said Nick. "Well, I wish you good luck." said Julie. "Yeah. You too." said Nick. The two walked onto the arena where the field test were being held. The field test had six dueling fields side by side. Nick saw Bastion and Julie who were already starting their duels with him getting fired up.

Nick looked at his opponent who looked strange despite being a Ra. "Are you ready to duel wise guy?" said Dimitri. "Um sure thing. Why are you talking in that accent?" said Nick. 'You look just like Joey Wheeler. I wonder if he is a cosplayer or something.' thought Nick. "Okay! Begin already!" said the boy who activated his duel disk. Nick followed suit with him saying,"I'm Fired up now?". He was lost about this.

Dimitri: 4000 Life Points.
Nick: 4000 Life Points.

Nick said,"I'll go first!". He drew a card and he said,"Perfect! I start this duel by playing Elemental Hero Ocean in defense mode!". An ocean themed hero stood there with him getting ready to block any attack. (4/1500/1200). "And I end my turn with a face down!" said Nick. The Ra drew a card and he said in his accent,"I summon my Little-Winguard in attack mode!". A small blue armored warrior with a small shield and sword appeared. (4/1400/1800).

"I now attack!" said the Ra. He destroy the warrior with Nick said,"Hook line and sinker! I now activate my face down! Hero Signal!". The card appeared with the light in the sky with Nick saying with a smile,"I pick Elemental Hero Heat!". In a burst of flame, a hero appeared with him putting his fists in front of him with him lighting them on fire just for good measure. (4/1600/1200). " I just end my turn by placing two cards face down and my knight goes into defense mode." said Joey/Dimitri.

Two cards appeared the tiny knight with him getting ready to block an attack. Nick drew a card and he said,"Perfect. I now play the spell card known as Hero Mask! I send my Elemental Hero Clayman to the graveyard and my fiery friend turns into Clayman for the remainder of my turn!". He put the card in the grave and Nick said,"I now play Polymerization! I fuse Elemental Hero Clayman and Elemental Hero Sparkman in my hand to create Elemental Hero Thunder Giant!".

A giant hero stood there and he made a huge amount of lightning appear. (6/2400/1500). "Okay! It is time to fry that knight! Electro Punch!" said Nick. The punch made of pure static electricity went toward him and Joey said,"I play Fairy Box!" A whack-a-mole appeared right in front of he knight. Joey held a silver coin with an eye symbol. "Every time you can call an attack, I call Heads or Tails with the coin. If I'm right, your monster's attack points drop to 0 for the battle!" said Joey.

Joey said,"And if I'm wrong, you can guess what is going to happen. I have great luck so I will guess right, Heads!". The coin flipped in the air and Nick thought,'Does he seriously think that Joey's great luck?'. The coin landed on Heads and Nick said,"Eh?!". The electricity lost its spark as the monster lost all of his attack (6/2400-0/1500). This is turn cost Nick a lot of life points. "Man. That was a bad move for sure. I end my turn with a face down. You're up." said Nick. (6/0-2400/1500).

Dimitri: 4000 Life Points.
Nick: 2200 Life Points. 

Joey said,"You're still in this. Well good move.". 'I'll going to destroy him for sure.' thought Nick. "I pay 500 life points to keep Fairy Box in the game. I now move Little-Winguard in attack mode and I summon the Rocket Warrior in attack mode!" said Joey. The little guy moved back up and a rocket flew onto the field. It transformed into a small warrior with a yellow face with a shield and sword in hand. (4/1500/1300).

Dimitri: 3500 Life Points.
Nick: 2200 Life Points.

Joey said,"I now play the continuous spell card Attrition!". A card with a red dragon trying to eat a blue dragon's tail with the blue dragon doing the same thing to the red one. "Huh?! I don't think that Joey had that card." said Nick. "You're wrong. Joey played this card against Yugi before the Battle City finals started with Marik having trapped them in a dangerous duel. He placed it in Joey's deck before hand." said Joey.

Nick said,"I'm sorry about that.". "You are in for a big shock and I don't mean your monster! With my Rocket Warrior and Attrition, your Thunder Giant is about to get pwned! Rocket Warrior, time to go into Invincible Mode and attack!" said Joey. The monster turned into a rocked which launched itself toward the hero. The rocket went back and Thunder Giant got weaker by the rocket and spell card combo. (6/2400-900-400/1500). "This is due to my Attrition by the way." said Joey.

Nick said,"Yeah. I know. My monster lose attack points based of Rocket Warrior's original attack points. So what is up with the extra 500?". "That is Rocket Warrior's effect, he can't be destroyed in battle while in battle, He drains 500 attack points from the monsters that he attacks but the monsters gets it back later on but my wingman is going to finish him off!" said Joey. The warrior rushed to the giant and Nick said,"Stopping you there little dude! Go!".

Joey saw a trap card with a hero walking away from a woman with black feathered winds but is about to be hit with a giant comic hammer. A huge amount of black feathers flew toward the card and it went around the tiny knight. It had black wings and he hid them with him falling toward the ground and he put his sword to the ground. (4/600/1800). "This is my trap card Dark Angel's Reprisal. This stops your attack and also weakens your monster by 800 attack points." said Nick.

"I end my turn." said Joey. The Giant was still on his knees with him gaining back some of his power but not all. (6/900/1500). "Nice! My move!" said Nick. He looked at it and he said,"Sweet! It's time to show you my new cards that I got from helping an nice old lady. I play the spell card Donation from the Kids!". A spell card appeared with a hero standing in front of some kids handing out some toys and Joey said,"So what does it do?".

Nick said,"Can I explain myself or what?". Joey nodded as Nick said,"Sweet. I send one monster on my field and for the level of said target, I get to draw that many cards. I count that my monster is LV 6 so six cards for me.". He drew six cards and Nick said,"Perfect. I now play the spell card. Heroes Anthem!". Joey saw a spell card with some elemental heroes (Avian, Bubbleman, Clayman, and Sparkman) sing a tune with Burstinatrix covering her ears.

Nick said,"This spell works with my deck and mainly the Heroes who have fallen. I count Elemental Hero Ocean, Elemental Hero Heat, Elemental Hero Clayman, Elemental Hero Sparkman, and my Elemental Hero Thunder Giant. That's five powerful heroes don't you know. For every monster in my grave, you lose 500 life points!". Five music notes appeared from the card and they attacked the Ra with an elemental flair to it.

Dimitri: 1000 Life Points.
Nick: 2200 Life Points.

Nick said,"I now play the spell card Fan Swarm!". A card appeared with several thousands fans and they were surrounding a hero whose costumes was torn from them and Nick said,"This card gets rid all of your monsters on your field! Get them girls!". Several girls appeared with Joey watching his two warriors being swarmed by girls causing them to explode. "I now summon my Elemental Hero Avian! End this duel with Quiver Strike!" said Nick.

The winged hero came out from the sky and he fired his razor sharp feathers cut right though the cosplayer winning the duel. "I lost..." said Joey who broke his accent. Bastion walked over with Julie and Bastion said,"I must say that was quite the duel.". "Thanks." said Nick. "And you're going to be in Ra Yellow with me and Bastion! Doesn't that sound awesome?" said Julie. "Yeah. It does." said the hero duelist. He was looking at Syrus who looked happy for him yet sad at the same time.

Dimitri: 0 Life Points.
Nick: 2200 Life Points. Winner.

Shawn was sitting on the floor while meditating and he was ignoring the confusion of the other students that were walking by him. "I don't get why you're even trying to figure this Bart. It is just a pack of cards given you to for a good deed." said Karen. "I sense both a dark and light presence from it and both of you told me to check things out if I don't understand." said Shawn in his head. "I guess you've a point there Bart. So where is that freak?" said Karen.

Shawn said in his head,"I'm not his keeper. So am I done?". "Yes. There are two strong duel spirits are in this pack along with some powerful cards. I suggest adding them to your deck right now like your friend did with his cards. I suspect that he won his duel thanks to your help unlike the other red coat." said Karen. Shawn then opened his eyes and he then looked at the pack of cards that got in his hand earlier.

Earlier. The group of Nick, Shawn, and Syrus saw the woman smiling. "Dorothy? Who do you know these two?" said Sadie. "They helped me with the truck this morning." said Dorothy. "Yeah. It was a pretty good work out if you ask me." said Shawn. "Don't tell anyone but I may have stolen some of the rare cards." said Dorothy. "Dam. That is pretty sneaky." said Nick. She placed two card packs on the table and Syrus said,"So what are you guys going to do?".

Shawn looked up to sense something and he said,"I'll take the one on the right.". He grabbed the one on the right as Nick said,"Sweet! Lets go Sy!". He ran off with Syrus running after him. "I wonder if he ever gets tired." said Dorothy. "You should have seen him sleeping like a baby earlier. It was great fat chick." said Karen. "Be nice." said Shawn in his head. He then looked at Dorothy and he said,"Thank you for the cards.". He bowed as Dorothy blushed with Sadie rolling her eyes.

Shawn sighed as he heard,"Bart? You alright?". Shawn then turned around to see Alexis standing there with two drinks in hand and Shawn said,"You went to the vending machines over by the back gate?". "Yeah. I knew that you would need it after your test." said Alexis. She handed him one and he said,"Thanks Lex.". She sat next to him and she said,"Are you worry about your duel?". "Nah. I tends not to be worried about things like that." said Shawn.

Alexis said,"That's a lie. I mean you were scared of anything that moved when we were kids.". "It is has been a long time since then Lex. So did you have your duel?" said Shawn while sipping his Coke Cola. "Yeah. It was against that snob Chazz. He seemed to have those rare cards that were taken by that weird guy in a black coat. You hear about that?" said Alexis. "Yeah. I don't need to ask if you won." said Shawn.

Alexis said,"I won and he was happy about losing to me. It was weird. So do you know how you're facing?". "I got no idea. I hope someone strong because I want that cross dresser to actually give me a chance. I mean you got stronger for sure Lex." said Shawn. "Yeah and didn't I defeat you all of the time when we were kids?" said Alexis. "Yeah but I won eventually." said Shawn. "It took 2,000 tries and not seeing each other for a long time for you to do that but I guess you're right." said Alexis.

Shawn heard a mob of students coming and he grabbed Alexis as the mob rushed past them. Alexis said with a blush,"Wow. Your hearing got much better.". "Um thanks. I think my training improved my basic senses." said Shawn. Alexis got up and she said,"I better go find a seat now. I wish you good luck.". "Yeah. You don't have to worry." said Shawn. "I still will idiot." said Alexis . She walked away as Shawn went to the arena.

He stood just outside of the arena door and he heard a loud uproar of cheering. 'Man. I really hope that I don't make an idiot out of myself. Okay. Time to power up!' thought Shawn. He walked into the arena but was blinded by a flash of light. "Welcome! Today we have a legendary duel!" said Melissa who sounded excited. "Hey. Where is that tranny?" said Karen. "In the red corner, we have the only known student of the Ryou Reeves. Shawn Alvarez!" said Melissa.

The crowd cheered louder and Shawn screamed in his head,"How did they found that out?!". "Calm down Bart. At least, they don't know your real name." said Karen. "I guess you have a point but who told them? Lex wouldn't would she?" said Shawn in his head. "Who knows?" said Karen who held her arms up in confusion. "So wait, who the heck is that?" said Syrus. He stood next to Nick who said,"You don't know who he is Sy?".

The two heard,"His name isn't that common but he is strong.". The two saw Alexis and she said,"He actually got in a draw with the King of Games and defeated the God Cards.". "You can't be serious right?" said Syrus. "Yeah. I thought they were like invincible." said Nick. "Any card can be defeated Nick. You just have to find the right card combo which Ryou did." said Alexis. "So why didn't Shawn tell us this?" said Nick.

Alexis said,"Because he along with his adopted daughter went missing.". "He had a daughter?" said Nick. "I remember now! Shawn told me and Alice about that on the cruise ride here before he fell into the pool with him arguing with the air." said Syrus. 'I guess Dark Magician or someone else pushed him into the pool.' thought Alexis. "You got this Shawn! Kick his but!" yelled Nick. "Are you sure it is a guy Nick?" said Syrus. "I don't know but this duel is going to be awesome." said Nick.

Melissa said over the cheering,"And in the green corner, we have the blue beauty of Obelisk Blue Rena Winchester!". Shawn saw a girl standing in front of him. It was the blunette from earlier and he said to Karen,"So do you know her?". "I thought you had an eidetic memory." said Karen. "I didn't see her name okay!" yelled Shawn. The girl waved to the boys who then swooned at her appearance with Karen sighing. "You have some fans don't you?" said Shawn who activated his duel disk.

She did the same and she said,"Yes. It comes with being rich and beautiful. I should let down my fans now should I?". "I guess you have a point there." said Shawn. "So do you want to make a little wager Shawn?" said Rena. "Um sure." said Shawn. The crowd got interested and Rena said,"If I win, you will belong to me forever.". "What?!" yelled Alexis. Syrus whispered to Nick,"So why did she yell at that?". "I got no idea." said Nick.

Bastion said,"I guess the heiress likes Shawn.". He stood there with Alice, Clara, and Julie with Julie saying,"What do you mean?". "Is she like a princess?" said Alice. "No you guys. She is the heiress to the Winchester Company. They are a game company that came out a decade ago. They are extremely rich with them being good friends with Kaiba and Pegasus plus their company." said Clara. "So how does she know Shawn and why does she want him?" said Alice.

Bastion said,"Beside being a great duelist and student, he is quite the fine specimen.". "I guess so but he is a little bit too perfect." said Julie. Alice nodded with Clara thinking,'You haven't dueled him yet so you don't know his true talent.'. Tor said,"I can't believe that babe wants that wannabe!". "Yeah. I don't see Chazz anywhere. Where is he?" said the other lackey who goes by the name Rai. "Who knows?" said Tor.

Shawn said,"You're serious right?". "Yes. I think crushing you and making you a submissive servant for me is good enough no?" said Rena. "Okay. If I win, you'll tell me why you want me a servant and you wining won't happen because I really don't look good at all in a monkey suit so get your game on!" said Shawn. Melissa looked at the duel and she took a deep breath when yelling,"Duel!". The two got ready with the crowd getting warmed up.

Rena: 4000 Life Points.
Shawn: 4000 Life Points.

Rena said,"You sound so confident but I think you're going to enjoy your defeat. I'll go first since you know.". She drew a card and she said,"Perfect. I play the field spell card A Legendary Ocean!. This spell reduce all water type monster by a level with them also gaining 200 attack and defense points upon being summoned. I know your moves Shawn and by playing the spell card Field Barrier! This will keep my ocean for being a target and no new field spell can be activated.".

Suddenly, the area around the two blues started to change. The walls and ceiling above them took on a rather reflective look to them and the floor turned into a sea of sand. Shawn start to hold his breath and Bastion said,"He does know that this is just a hologram right?". "I don't think he does maybe or something else." said Alice. Shawn opened his breath and he said,"It's a good thing that this thing is a hologram because I didn't want to dry my uniform.".

Rena said,"Funny. I told you the effect of my field spell so I now summon my Cyber Shark in attack mode without a sacrifice!". Suddenly, a cybernetic shark appeared from the ground below them with its jaws wanted to devour Shawn letting out a loud sounding roar. (5-4/2100-2300/2000-2200). "So okay. So what is that fish going to do? I mean I had sushi yesterday which was just divine. The Ras sure now how to cook." said Shawn.

The boy started drooling with Rena said,"I think that you're an idiot. I end my turn with a face down card. Your move Shawn.". He drew a card and he heard,"Hi!". He saw a monster looking right at him with a smile. It was a fiend monster. It had black fur with streaks of red and white entirely covering its ball like body. It had glowing green eyes with it opening its mouth showing off the single fang in there. (1/500/500). "You're the spirit that I sensed earlier. My name is Shawn." said Shawn.

The monster smiled as it floated on Shawn's shoulder. "Okay. I'll use it later. Time to play one of my sorcerers in attack mode! Come on Melody Magician in defense mode!" said Shawn. He placed a card on his duel disk as the crowd hearing a guitar playing. "Are you all ready to rock?!" said Shawn who smiled. The guitar got louder as a monster appearing from the ground in front of Shawn. He had gelled and spiked wine red hair with him looking like a stereotypical rock star. (4/1800/1400).

The monster looked around and he said,"Why the hell did you bring me out in the ocean?! Man, I thought you were smarter than thought.". "I didn't expect her to be a water duelist. I think we should them your second effect Matt. Play that tune." said Shawn. "You got it bro." said Matt. He started to drum his card with him glowing a bright green. "I can play one of his three songs once per turn and I pick this one. This lets me add a spellcaster to my hand." said Shawn.

The rocker finished his song with Shawn adding a card to his hand. "I now play the spell card Double Summon to set a monster in face down defense position" said Shawn. He then placed a card next to the rock star and Rena said,"I thought you were actually trying to defeat me.". "Don't doubt my deck at all. I'm just getting started. I'll end my turn with a face down. Your move!" said Shawn. He placed the card with it appearing behind the two monsters.

Rena said,"I draw!". She added the card to her hand and she said,"I attack that face down card!". The fish appeared in front of the face down monster. It bit down onto the card with Shawn just smiling. "I knew you would do that so that's why I placed this monster!" said Shawn. The card was revealed to be a baby bird who was adorable and the girls were anger upon seeing it destroy by the robotic fish who was still hungry. (2/800/500).

Rena said,"So what was that baby going to do against my shark?". "This baby is Gold Eyes Chick and by attacking her. When this monster is flipped up, I get to special summon her second stage from my deck in attack ! I special summon Gold Eyes Falcon in attack mode!" said Shawn. A gold eyes and orange/red feathered bird came flying toward the spell caster with her getting ready to fight the shark who growled at the sight of the feathered freak. (5/2200/1600).

Rena said,"You may have a strong monster but that feathered freak can't destroy my monster and all of my water monsters are stronger than that bird thanks to my field spell.". "I know that but don't worry about little old me. I'm just getting started." said Shawn. "I end my turn." said Rena. Shawn then drew a card and he said,"Time to play my face down card! Quill Strike! You see, my feather friend here is going to get rid of that barrier!".

A card appeared with several feathers on it stood there. The bird flew up and Shawn said,"You see. If I have a winged beast on my field, I get to destroy one spell or trap card on the field and the owner of that card gets 500 points of damage. Now destroy Field Barrier with Ember Breath!". The bird made a little fire ball which destroyed the spell card with the heiress getting a little burn. Rena looked at the bird who gave a high five to the musician and she said,"You got lucky.".

Rena: 3500 Life Points.
Shawn: 4000 Life Points.

Shawn said,"Nah. I just got a sweet family on my side here. I now play the spell card Bonanza!". A spell card appeared as it showed several people cheering with dollar bills flying toward them. "You see Rena. This spell allows me to draw a card for each one of my monsters on the field and for every monster on your field, I gain 500 life points. I count two on my field and one on your field so I get to draw 2 cards and gain 500 life points!" said Shawn.

Rena: 3500 Life Points.
Shawn: 4500 Life Points.

Shawn now had five cards and he said,"I send my Melody Magician to the grave yard to summon a magician who just loves the water! Mermaid Magician!". Mike said,"Time to let that girl have her way or else.". He was gone as a huge burst of water appeared in his place. "I hope you're ready to get soaked hard because she only likes me and my deck with others being extremely annoying to her. I'm not kidding about that." said Shawn who sweat dropped.

The water was gone as a mermaid stood there. She had a long purple tail with light purple fins. She had long light blue hair that goes down to the start of her tail with her large chest being seen. She has gold eyes with no pupils. She wears a crimson red bikini top with each arm having a bracelet with a glowing gem in the center of it. She wears a white head band, seven piercing on her tail, a coral like belt around her waist, and light red crystal earrings. (8-7/3000-3200/2500-2700).

The crowd was shocked by the mermaid by her strength and beauty. "I now attack with Gold Eyes Falcon to start things off! Blazing Impact!" said Shawn. The bird flew straight up and Ren said,"You must be crazy. That bird is weaker than my shark. I thought you would attack your overgrown fish instead.". The mermaid glared at her as Shawn said,"Ease girl. It is a good thing that her special effect activates during the battle phase. Show them your golden glow!".

The bird glowed golden with flames and Shawn said,"You see, she gains 600 extra attack points but the bad thing is that, you don't lose the life points but gain them instead. It doesn't matter. You know what to do!". (5/2800/1600). The bird went faster toward the shark causing a explosion of flames due to impacting with the shark. "My turn isn't down yet! Show her your wrath with Trident Blast!" said Shawn. The mermaid's bracelet glows as a trident appeared.

Rena: 4000 Life Points.
Shawn: 4500 Life Points.

She aimed her trident at Rena with a huge burst of water coming out of it causing Rena to be hit with a lot of it. The crowd cheered as Nick said,"You rock fish lady!". "She is pretty strong but Gold Eyes Falcon isn't done yet." said Alexis. "What do you mean?" said Syrus. "Just watch Sy." said Alexis. "I now activate her second effect which rocks! Since I destroy your shark with my bird, I get to special summon Gold Eyes Ra from my deck!" said Shawn.

Rena: 1000 Life Points.
Shawn: 4500 Life Points.

The falcon flew up into the air and she exploded in a burst of flames. Rena and the crowd then saw a older version of the falcon with her wings glowing bright red and she really looked like a fully grown bird standing there. (8/3600/2700). "Hey! What the hell was that?!" said an Obelisk. "You're going to let that wannabe run over you?" said an Obelisk. "What in the....!? I want my money back!" said a Obelisk. "You better know what you're doing Rena!" said an Obelisk.

The shouting and laughing of the snobby Obelisk rained down upon the two duelist with Rena saying quietly,"Please stop.". Shawn's temper grew as he yelled,"Hey! Shut up! You're not dueling! She is a great duelist unlike you rich snobs! I could defeat you with my eyes closed! So shut the hell up or I'll let Ra have a field day!". They were quiet as Rena said,"Thanks.". "No problem. I mean we're friends you know. Your turn by the way." said Shawn.

Rena drew a card and she said,"I activate my face down Call of the Haunted to bring back Cyber Shark in attack mode!". The shark returned to the field with Rena said,"You did good but this duel is over.". "What are you talking about? I have two stronger monsters." said Shawn. "I now send Cyber Shark back to the graveyard so I can summon a monster that will destroy your monsters with ease so say goodbye to them." said Rena.

The shark along with the trap was gone as Rena said,"The seas rip and roars right under this lord's command, their gallant waves rising for the entire world to see! Splash! Annihilate! Swim through the Oceans of Legendary Origin, and strike down all those who would oppose my rule! I summon you now Levia-Dragon-Daedalus!". A huge whirlpool in front of her appeared while she was saying this as a long and slender form that came through the whirlpool.

A giant blue sea serpent appeared with a piercing roar cutting through the ocean as is it moved. It has sleek blue scales that swept about the field with it being supported by its legs. It had several red fins that ran alongside the beast's body and on top of its sinister head, a deadly emerald light glowed with Shawn said,"Okay. A giant fish. So what?". (7-6/2600-2800/1500-1700). "Time to show you my monster's special effect!" said Rena.

She took the Legendary Ocean card from her duel desk and she placed it in her graveyard. "Okay. So that is against the rules right?" said Alice. "Yes. You would be right but thanks to that monster, she can." said Bastion. "I can send an Umi card on my side of the field to the graveyard, all cards on the field beside himself gets destroyed! Show him your Charybdis!" said Rena. The city was destroyed with Shawn's field being completely destroyed by the effect. (6-7/2800-2600/1700-1500).

The Obelisks laughed at Shawn who grumbled under his breath. "Now attack him directly! Scylla Strike!" yelled Rena. The tail slammed into Shawn knocking him on his but. "You're good Shawn but not good enough!" said Rena. "You know that I still have more life points than you right?" said the boy who got up. "You know. I really don't get you. I end my turn. Your turn Shawn. I hope you can try to destroy my monster." said Rena.

Rena: 1000 Life Points.
Shawn: 1900 Life Points.

Shawn drew a card and he thought,'I need to focus on that monster. I don't have anything in my hand to defeat it right now. I better play it safe for now.'. "I will first set a monster face down, another card face down, and I end my turn!" said Shawn. "That wasn't a really good move." said Julie. "He must have nothing in his hand to summon." said Clara. "Really? I guess it's my turn! I draw!" said Rena who drew a card after ward.

Rena smiled as she said,"I may not have Umi on my field but I have my monster which can destroy your weak monster! I think I will set one down for now and then I will activate this! I play Book of Taiyou which is a powerful spell card. It makes your monster come out and fight.". The spell card revealed the monster and it was Baby Dragon. (3/1200/700). "He may be cute but destroy it!" said the girl. The attack destroy the dragon into pieces.

Rena: 1000 Life Points.
Shawn: 500 Life Points.

Shawn was silent as Rena said,"You alright?". "Nope. I'm feeling powered up in fact!" said Shawn. "I am feeling the same!" yelled Nick. "Whatever. I end my turn." said Rena. Shawn drew a card and he said with a smile."Bitching! This duel is over!". "What do you mean? You have nothing on your field to summon." said Rena. "I play the spell card Magical Mallet! I now three cards and then I put them back into my deck to shuffle them!" said Shawn.

He added six cards from his recently shuffled deck and Shawn said,"Hey! I got you back huh?". The spirit from the start appeared on his head and he said,"You got this! Show everyone your power!". "I will first play my face down! Magic Swap!" said Shawn. A card appeared with it showing off two spells being traded. Shawn said,"This card now allows me to send a monster in my deck to the grave to bring back a monster! I pick Winged Kuriboh from my deck to bring back my Baby Dragon.".

The dragon appeared and he roared. (3/1200/700). "I play the card that my master left behind! It's the spell Sabatiel- The Philosopher's Stone!" said Shawn. A spell card with an orb on the cover then appeared in front of Shawn with him saying,"I now pay half of my life points so I can swap this card with the fusion card Magician Fusion!". A card appear with it showing two wizards standing next to each other doing the fusion dance with the previous spell returning back to his hand.

Rena: 1000 Life Points.
Shawn: 250 Life Points.

Shawn said,"This spell lets me fuse two of my magician from either my deck, graveyard, and hand together to create a powerful spellcaster! I pick my Magic Knight and Magic Dragon from my deck to create my Alchemy Draco Champion in attack mode! Come on out!". Suddenly, A knight with a magic symbol on its armor, hilt of its blade, and giant shield stood there with a giant dragon with the same symbol on its head and its stomach. (MK: 7/2600/1900). (MD: 8/3500/1000).

Shawn said,"Now! Fusion Dance!". The two touched fingers as they went together. They combined into one monster but instead of a giant monster, it was tiny. It looked to be a little boy with him wearing a dragon costume. (10/600/300). "That monster is may seem weak but his magic power is truly amazing. I activate his special effect. For every monster in my grave, he gains 800 attack points and 500 defense points." said Shawn.

Syrus said,"So how many monsters does he have in the grave?". "I think five?" said Nick. "You guys aren't good at counting or remembering. He currently has Melody Magician, Gold Eyes Chick, Gold Eyes Falcon, Mermaid Magician, Gold Eyes Ra, Winged Kuriboh, Magic Knight, and Magic Dragon. He gets 6,400 attack points and 4000 defense points." said Alexis. "That's awesome." said the two boys. (10/600-7000/300-4300).

Rena said,"You can't be serious.". "I'm not joking. I now play my Sabatiel again and turn into the fusion card Polymerization! I then fuse my Alchemy Draco Champion and Baby Dragon together to create...." said Shawn. The two fused together and Shawn said,"My Enchanted Witch!". A young girl stood there with her wearing a cute magician outfit. (4/1200/900). "So he gave up a powered up boy for a weak little girl?" said Tor.

Rena: 1000 Life Points.
Shawn: 125 Life Points.

Shawn said,"Like my champion before her, she gains power from her family but she is able to gain 500 attack and defense points for EVERY single card in my grave. You can do the math right?". "Are you serious?" said the crowd and Rena. The girl smiled as she gained a glow and she matured causing the guys to go nuts over seeing her. (4/1200-9,200/4/900-8,900). "Nope! This woman is pretty strong but I'm not down!" said Shawn.

Shawn said while his monster was stretching,"Nope! I still have the final Sabatiel to use. I think I pick the spell card Fusion Draw and this card is one of the best. Since I have a fusion monster on my field, she lets me draw cards based off her level and I count 4!". He drew four cards back and he said,"Oh yeah! I now normal summon this little guy! I summon Zeus, the Universe Guardian!". The fiend from his head appeared on the field. (1/500/500).

Rena: 1000 Life Points.
Shawn: 62.5 Life Points.

Rena and the other girls said,"He's so cute!". "I know right?" said Zeus. "Easy there. I now play the final effect of my stone! Zeus here gains the same attack points as my witch over here! I now combined their attacks together! Destroy that over grown lizard with Magic Explosion and fangs of the planets!" said Shawn. The fiend roared as it jumped with the witch and the two defeated the fish and winning Shawn the duel. (1/500-9,200/500-8,900).

Rena: 0 Life Points.
Shawn: 62.5 Life Points. Winner!

Rena was sitting on the ground with the crowd being silent for a second but then they erupted in a huge burst of cheering. "Awesome Duel!" yelled a Ra student. "Way to play you two." said Bastion who smiled. "Lets duel sometime okay Shawn!" yelled a Slifer student. "Go out with me Rena!" said a couple of boys. "They're cheering after I lost?" said Rena. "Of course! We put on an excellent duel right Zeus?" said Shawn.

Shawn saw Zeus floating next to him and he said,"You do know that she can't see me right?". "I know but who cares?" said Shawn. He held his hand out and he said,"Next time, I won't use my dragons on you.". Rena hugged him and she said,"You are a great guy. So what do you want to know?". Shawn was looking around and he said,"Maybe we should talk in private.". "Sounds good." said Rena. The two left the arena with Alexis getting jealous.

Shawn said,"So your dad helped created my Magicians and he gave you to me?". The two were then outside of the Ra Dorm since the group was having a party there since Nick was now a Ra Yellow with Syrus being happy for him but lonely at the same time. "Yes. I don't want to be your girlfriend by the water." said Rena. "Thanks? You're pretty cute so I think that you'll find a guy soon or later. I hope he can rock your world. Lets go enjoy the party already." said Shawn. "Right." said Rena.

The two walked inside with Dark Magician and Zeus looking at Shawn. "So you're Shawn's number one spirit?" said Zeus. "Yes. You can be his mascot if you want." said Dark Magician. "Sweet! Time to chow down." said Zeus. He flew inside with the magician crossing his arms. 'I guess letting Shawn have his fun because I feel his destiny is going to come in full force and it won't at all be pretty. It will be awful in fact.' thought Dark Magician. He just started at the night sky worried about the future.

Chapter 5: The Shadow Games Arrival.
Unknown P.O.V.
I was walking around a populous marketplace with people waving to me. They called me the prince and they thanked me for saving the kingdom from a enemy known as the shadows. I smiled and then the end of days happened. I looked up to see two dragons covered in darkness and someone riding them. I was about to fight them only to be blown apart by the dragon's combined breath attack and I died. 

Narrator P.O.V.
The Abandoned Dorm, a forbidden place as the rules in Duel Academy put it and it was extremely spooky as well. It wasn't like the other dorms now and people who live in the Slifer Red Dorm would be happy to live here since it was livable. It was a large and rickety building with boards over the windows and the front door was broken in pieces. Despite this place being lonely, two people usually came by to visit upon arriving on the island.

They were Alexis Rhodes and Shawn Alvarez. The two walked through the trees and stopped right at the wall and the do not enter sign. Alexis placed a rose down at the base of the wall and she prayed while saying,"Be at peace brother, wherever you are.". "Yeah. I hope you guys are alright too master and Maria." said Shawn. Alexis and Shawn sighed as they went back to their dorm. They didn't know that fate was going to bring them a little sign of their family.

In Domino City. The king of games aka Yugi Moto arrived at a cafe since he was called there by his biggest rival and one of his friends (at least in his opinion). He saw the person with him sipping on some coffee. He has brown hair and he is tall with him wearing a business suit. Yugi sat down and he said,"You said that you need something from me so what is it Kaiba?". This person is Seto Kaiba aka the owner of Kaiba Corp and the founder of Duel Academy.

Seto looked at his rival,"Bart or Shawn has been making a name of himself at my academy being that he has won all of the duels that he has been in and also he is one of the top students.". "That sounds like him to me. So what's up?" said Yugi. "Sheppard wished for us to give him our blessing." said the CEO. "Okay. So we should give Shawn some cards right?" said Yugi. "Yes. Pegasus is sending some new card right now and some others." said Kaiba. "Good." said Yugi.

Shawn woke up and he did his early morning stretches. "Man. That bed is way too comfy. I really wish I could just live in that bed forever." said Shawn. He finished it and he noticed that on his desk was a wrapped box that was Industrial Illusions. He was wondering why this was sent to him and he was going to opening it with peace and quiet aka his room in the girls's dorm where Nick can't get into despite him knowing a girl.

He opened the box using his pocket knife and he saw two letters. He grabbed the first one and his eyes opened up. He sat in his chair and he read the letter,"Hello Bart boy, this letter is from me aka the Maximllion Pegasus. I got an old call from Seto boy and he asked me for a favor. He asked me to make you some new cards that are you which I did. Enjoy them and find Ryou boy for me. The other letter from Yugi boy will explain the rest.".

Shawn thought,'That does sound like Pegasus in written form but why did Seto ask for a favor? I guess Chancellor Sheppard doesn't know about my relationship to the three giants of dueling.'. He looked at the other letter and it said,"Shawn. I hope Dark Magician is treating you well. He is proud to serve you. The black packs are the cards that you know from my duels. The white packs are the cards that are brand new and for you. Make us proud.".

Shawn put down the letter and he held the first black pack seen. He opened it and he picked out some cards out of it. His eyes were wide open as he saw that all nine cards were famous with the King of Games. "Wait. It couldn't be right?" said Shawn. He opened all of the black packs with all of them being very famous cards with Yugi Moto. "Sweetness." said Shawn. He senses something and he held a card from the pile of them.

It was Dark Magician Girl. The card glowed as a girl stood there in his face. You all know what Dark Magician Girl looks like right."Hi! You're Shawn?! Right!? I mean you're really cute just like Yugi is and I know that Dark Magician is Shawn's partner.". Shawn was extremely tongue tied and Dark Magician appeared behind him. "I think you should get back. Shawn is in love with a blond and he must be thinking that you're her." said Dark Magician.

She backed up and she said,"It's good to see you again. Aren't you happy to see me?". "Yes. I would come up with a clever comeback but I can't think of one." said Dark Magician. "Right. So should I get working on the other packs right?" said Shawn. The two magicians nodded as Shawn opened the white backs. He smiled and he said,"I guess I'm making another deck. Man, I'm so powered up now!". The magicians smiled at their master's enthusiasm while Shawn got working.

Later, Shawn and the rest of the gang were in Crowler's class. On a normal day, everyone except for most of the Obelisk would hate this but today, they are card designing. "You're kidding right? Isn't this crap for losers and babies?" said Chazz. "So you?" said Karen. "Card Designers are important since they make that deck of yours Chazz. I hope you all have fun because the five best cards will be made into real cards. You can sit wherever." said Crowler.

The class was in full swing with designing a card while Crowler was reading a magazine and it was trashy. "Man! This is so much fun right Sy?" said Nick. He may be a Ra but at heart, he is a Slifer since he was being there for Syrus with Julie only knowing the reason and finding it sweet. "So do you like my Dark Magician Girl?" said Syrus. "It's great but nothing compared to my new element heroes! What about you Chum?" said Nick.

The heavy set boy was focused into a design of a city that looks really impressed and he said,"Check this lischus card.". "Nice." said the two. Some of the other students were impressive with it and the boy said,"It isn't the card that I'm giving to Crowler. It's based off Ayers Rock.". Shawn looked at his blank card and he thought,'Why the hell can't I think of one? Dam you limited creativity! Do you got any idea Karen? I know you're enjoying my suffering.'.

Karen said,"If you let me have your body, we can talk.". "Okay but don't tell Dark Magician. I can't fail drawing!" said Shawn. Unknown to him, his eyes glowed pure white. He was designing four cards like nothing else. Crowler ran a bell and he said,"Give me your cards brat!". After going through the class's designed cards with Chumley's cards being the only one that he like, Shawn was up with his four cards. 'What!? They are way too amazing to be from some brat.' thought Crowler.

Crowler looked at Shawn who said,"I had a dream about them and it was livid.". "I see. I think I know my seven cards then. You're all dismissed." said Crowler. The class ended as Shawn said in his head,"It was from my past right?". "Yep. You know that flamboyant man will be making these cards and then you'll have them in a week. I think you need to learn more about your past. Let me talk to the Dark Magician." said Karen. "Great." said Shawn.

Later after class. Nick was visiting the card shop when he heard about a new shipment of diversified cards. After what happened on exam day, he was going to see if they had some packs on him. He had just enough duel points to by himself a new deck if he wanted but he was going to get some new packs for supports for his heroes. "Lets see what Lady Luck has for me." said Nick who was looking through the packs.

Nick said,"Lets see. Some of them could help me out but not really my cup of tea you know. These spells however will be rocking.". He smiled as he admired the spell cards mainly. He got some okay trap cards. "So got anything good?" said Julie's voice from behind him. "Yep. These field spells are me you know?" said Nick. "I get that." said Julie. "Yeah but they affect my field as well. It's like a double sided sword you know? Field Spells are so complicated." said Nick.

Julie said,"I think you will be fine. Let me get some packs so wait for me okay?". She ran off to the shelves with her grabbing whatever she could find. 'Man. She sure is feisty.' thought Nick. She bought a whole box of them and she came back to Nick with her also holding enough package. "So did you buy a new duel disk or what?" said Nick. "Oh. My mom sent me some winter clothes. I guess I am staying here for winter break." said Julie.

Nick said,"Hey. She come here on Christmas. You know. I'll help with the package. It looks pretty heavy.". "Sure! Catch!" said Julie. She threw the box at all with him having trouble carrying it. "Are you serious?! There must be a whole wardrobe in here." said Nick. She glared at him and he said,"It is nothing.". "Okay then. Let's go!" said Julie. She started to walk away with Nick thinking,'Man. It's sure something when you piss her off.'.

It took about thirty minutes so the dorm was nearby. She was one of a few girls that are in Ra Yellow and since she didn't want to be around the spoiled princess, they gave her a room at the top floor of the building. "Welcome!" said Julie. It was wider than his room and cleaner. Nick was overjoyed as he placed the package on her bed and it took a while to look around. She had several posters of the famous spellcasters such as Dark Magician and Dark Magician Girl.

He saw a picture of a tiny version of Julie who was wearing a pink dress and she was with her parents who were smiling. Her father was a man who was tall and with black hair in a black dress shirt and khaki pants. Her mom was the older version of Julie with her in a blue dress under a white apron. "I am guessing a happy family?" said Nick. Julie smiled at the picture as she said,"My awesome mom and dad.".

Nick said,"I guess I know where you got your awesome looks from.". Julie's face went red and she was trying to look mad by putting her hand on her hips. "I don't know if you're hitting on me or my mom! But stop it!" said Julie. "Sorry. So you must be pretty good. I mean I heard from Bastion that you made your opponent surrender." said Nick. "He did? Where is he?" said Julie. She was gone as Nick said,"Sorry Bast but I need to vent her anger somewhere else.".

Later. Nick, Syrus, and Chumley were telling ghost stories in the Slifer Mess Hall with Shawn being there to hear a good scary story. He didn't want to go back to his dorm since the girls were asking him like crazy. He wanted to be the one flirting and not the one being flirted on. It is weird. "So I went out into the woods and under the full moon, I can now see a path that leads toward a cave that seems to be ...... abandoned!" said Syrus.

Nick who was interested said,"Oh really?! And then what?!". "Then at the back of the cave, I see a mysterious lake. I got closer to it and thanks to being under just the right angle of light, I could see a super rare and powerful card. I reached out to go get it and then an arms comes out, grabs me, and starts to pull me into the lake!..." said Syrus. Syrus was being a pretty dramatic since he was acting out the story.

Nick said,"Water isn't scary but tests are.". "Not even dirty swamp water?" said Syrus. Shawn said,"It sucked Sy.". "Huh. I guess you're right. Only a sucker would fall for that." said Syrus. Unknown to him, Chumley was currently in a far corner of the room. "It was still a good story for a mid-level card." said Nick. It was Earthbound Spirit. The rules were that you had to tell a story based off the level of monster drawn. "You're up Shawn." said Nick.

Shawn said,"Sure.". He shuffled the deck and he drew a card. It was a level seven monster known as Athena. "Sweet. I got a perfect one but it may be a little scary than what I was given." said Shawn. "I think you have this man." said Nick. "Don't be scared.. Don't be scared..." said Chumley who was chanting while coming out of the corner. "Uh... This story can't be that scary." said Syrus who was shaking in his boots.

Shawn said,"Our story Starts in a tundra with a young woman by the name or Erika walking in it. She was alone because of her lover Nolan thought that she was a traitor to the army and she sent her into the snow to freeze to death. The lover than shacked up with a buxom blond bimbo by the name of Lulu. Her heart was broken and her entire world came crashing down in a heartbeat. Her journey lead her to a dark castle with a Gothic Style.".

"Several hundred candles lit up the area up fast and the ceiling and walls were stained in the blood of people before her. Once inside, she found what she came looking for, a lake filled to the brim with dark water...." said Shawn. "Hey! That's my idea!" said Syrus. "But unlike your story, there must be something to this water. Right Shawn?" said Nick. "Right. It was filled to the brim with dark force from hell that will make you stronger but crazy." said Shawn.

"The army and her lover abandoned her because of her pedigree to the hell water. The woman then thought to herself,'They're so single minded that me and this lake are one in the same so I might give them what they want.'. Consumed by anguish, she nose dived straight into the water. When coming out of the nebulous water, she felt nothing and she floated in the water bored and angry for being so stupid but then suddenly...." said Shawn.

He took a deep breath and he said,"An eerie black mist surround the water with Erika worried for her very soul and then she was captured by tentacles. She was then dragged into the lake kicking and screaming. Right before she suffocated, she heard a voice,"I sense your sadness child and I will give you a chance to get revenge on the people who scorned you. What do you say?". She said yes right before she died.".

Crumley and Syrus were freaking out from the story with Shawn said,"Oh. My story is far from done jack. The lake spit her out as a demonic version of herself with her name known as Wicked Titania. She made an army go with her and heading out the castle focused on getting revenge on the people who hurt her. So if you ever hear a laughter of banshee, you are dead!". Nick then said,"Nice story Shawn! Truly worth seven stars!".

The group heard a banshee laugh with the Slifers and Ra screaming in terror. Shawn laughed and he said,"Man. I guess I got the scariest story. Right guys?". The Slifers were hiding under the table as Nick said,"Yeah. My turn because I got a story that will....". He drew a card and it was a level one known as Armed Ninja. "Thank you. You don't have to scare you at all." said Syrus who came out from under the table with Chumley joining him.

Nick said,"I guess I have a story then. Well to be honest, it is like a memory. When I was little, I used to hear voices and here is the thing, I could only hear them at night. I think I was dreaming but I kept hearing them. They were voices but not ones that I knew. I would go into my playroom to figure it out but then I saw nothing there except for my heroes.". "And?" said Chumley and Syrus. "That's all folks." said Nick.

The two groaned with Shawn shrugging. "But hear this. Recently, I started hearing them again and also in your duels Shawn." said Nick. "Weird." said Shawn. "I am guessing that Hero Boy can hear spirits like you can but unlike you, it isn't very strong." said Karen. "HA-HA-HA-HA-HA!" said a voice. "I think it'll be fun for me to join you kids." said a voice behind Nick. It turned out to be Professor Banner and Pharoh who meowed.

"Gyah!" said Nick and Syrus who fell out of their seats. "Nice job professor." said Shawn who was laughing. "Yeah. We are the tipping point here." said Nick. "We're off it now. Since you're here, why don't you draw a card, the tougher that it is, the scarier it is." said Syrus but didn't noticing that the koala boy was back in the corner. "That's easy." said Banner while drawing a card. It was a level ten monster Blue Eyes Ultimate Dragon aka level 12.

Shawn said,"A Level 12? This is going to be good.". "I think it's bed time." said Syrus. "Don't you all want to hear about the abandoned dorm?" said Banner. "Abandoned dorm?" said the three who didn't know about it. Banner pulled up a chair and he sat in it. "Did you know that are actually four dorms on the island?" said Banner. He saw that Chumley, Nick, and Syrus shook their head with Shawn said with a smirk,"You shouldn't sleep in class.".

Banner said,"Mr. Alvarez is correct. The three known dorms are based off the three Egyptian God Monsters but when the school was first constructed, a special fourth dorm was made. Think of it for those who were good as Obelisk Blue but without being the disrespect and conceited people. I don't mean offense Shawn. It was known as the Millennium House.". "Really?" said the Slifers and Ra. 'I didn't know that it was the Millennium House. Ah.' thought Shawn who flashed back to the past.

Flashback. On a snowy mountain, Shawn was currently going snowboard down it. Usually this would be pretty nice but being chased by hired guards, it wasn't fun. He was trying to avoid their gunfire but his cell phone rang. He saw that it was Maria and he said,"Hey sis. I can't take right now.". "Is my baby brother with a girl?" said Maria. "Sure. She is a sharpshooter." said Shawn. He jumped into the air and did a flip.

He landed back on the ground and he said,"So how is school life? I hear that you are on the verge of being promoted which is impressed.". "Yeah but my one of my professors suggest that I heard to the Millennium House rather than the snob house. It house the best of the best just like Obelisk Blue and I'm hearing now but.." said Maria who started to trail off. Shawn then hid inside of the forest and he said,"So what do you mean?".

He saw the guards not going after him and Maria said,"It's just that... this dorm isn't at all what its cracked up to be. Strange things have happened. My two good friends went missing just three days ago!". "Are you serious? I mean I can talk to duel spirits." said Shawn. "Bart! I'm being serious! One of us did but the teachers who we told haven't found anything! Bart, I am going to come home for the holidays and staying home." said Maria.

Shawn sat on the snow and he said,"You can't be sure about this. I mean you love duel just like me and the master.". "I don't want to leave but I'm really scared! I mean it is worse than the time when you first used your powers." said Maria. Shawn took a deep breath and he said,"Okay. I'll be there for you and master will understand.". "Thanks B man. Have fun getting off that mountain by the way in I think." said Maria. She hanged up and Shawn went back down the mountain.

Present. 'And that was four days before she went missing and then my master went after her before leaving me my spell card and then he went missing! I guess that dorm is hiding more than I thought and I'm going in." thought Shawn. "Hey. You all right?" said Syrus. The group looked at him and he said,"Yeah. I guess I'm a little sleepy.". He was lying with Banner looking at him. 'This house has brought you great pain but you will learn your connection to it soon.' thought Banner.

Shawn said,"So what about this house professor?". "It has been long since forgotten since they shut it down before your time due several students from the dorm gone missing." said Banner. 'This also includes Maria, her friends, and Alexis's brother.' thought Shawn. "So where did they go Professor Banner?" said Syrus. "They is a mystery a foot with that Syrus. However, there is a rumor going on there. They involve the Shadow Games." said Banner.

Nick said,"Shadow Games? That sounds familiar.". "Thanks, you can stop now." said Chumley. The Obelisk was in deep thought about the whole thing as Banner said,"You see. Shadow Games are duels that are played with mystical objects known as the Millennium Items. You do know that we learned about them in class today.". "The game started in Ancient Egypt right Professor?" said Shawn. "You are right Mr. Alvarez." said Banner.

Banner said,"Back in the day, they played duel monster using shadow games and if you lost, you got sent to the Shadow Realm, a mystical place that satisfy the darkness and terror of anyone who come in its path. According to myth, Shadow Duels were extremely lethal and some duels lead to death. It was a scared time children.". "Are you alright Bart? Your heart is beating faster than normal. Do you need to leave?" said Karen.

Shawn said in his head,"I am fine Karen. I just need to head there tonight and stay there to do some research with this new info given to me by the Professor.". "I think we should keep an eye on him for now." said Karen. "Sounds like a plan. I'll ask one of my spirits to do it later." said Shawn. "So what does this have to do with the Abandoned Dorm? Does it have something to do with why it is called the Millennium House?" said Nick.

Banner said,"It was made to study the Millennium Items and the Shadow Games. But when a team of researchers went missing, it lead them to believe that they themselves would be trapped forever in the Shadow Realm. When Kaiba made this school, they made into a dorm with the students who roomed there went missing so it closed down.". "You're kidding. This stuff all sounds fake to me." said the hero duelist.

Banner moved his glasses around as he started laughing,"It is just a rumor boys but it could be real since in every story, there is something real in there. Well good night boys.". "Night." said Shawn. He left with Pharaoh who had been sitting in Shawn's lap during the whole thing. Syrus brought up his duel pilot and he said,"I guess it must be that building that was x'd out of the map.". "Sweet. You're leading the way then Sy!" said Nick.

Syrus said,"Huh?!". "We are so going tomorrow night you guys!" said Nick. "What do you mean we?" said the heavy set boy. "It will be fun guys and maybe find something out about the missing students." said the hero duelist. Outside of the dorm, Crowler was listen this. "I hope that the Shadow Games make that Obelisk fear me." said Crowler. "We're going after this and I'll tell Alexis where I am. I hope I can find something." said Shawn in his head.

Back in Domino City's many dark alleyway, a duel was about to end with one of the duelist being scared out of his mind. "Okay! You won! Just take whatever you want!" yelled the man. "Whatever I want. I want your souls!" said a voice. It belonged to a man wearing a metal mask in a trench coat and he used a duel harness just like Crowler's but the tray was on his sleeve. He held a gold upside down pyramid with a single eye in its center.

It started to glow with the opponent insisting again,"Please! Show us mercy! Let me go now!". The man looked on with no feeling as the pyramid went around the scared man. "Mercy? What is that? I don't give it. Have fun in the shadows." said the man. The gold light turned white with the opponent screaming and falling down with his cards scattering around him. He made sure that his opponent was down for the count, his cell phone rang.

He answered it and he said,"Talk. Duel Academy then. Tomorrow night.... I'll be there.". "So do we have another job boss?" said a person who was wearing a black coat over his head but a blindfold stuck out. "Yes we do. In fact, there may be fun for the both of us. Lets go." said Mask. He walked out with the other duelist following suit. The police arrived just to see the defeated duelist whose eyes were lifeless.

The next day during class, Nick and Syrus were sleeping the day away while Banner taught his class to the awake student. Crowler was watching them and he thought,'Where the hell is that Obelisk? Did he hear me? Whatever. I'll still get sleeping beauty. Time to teach those two idiots on how a shadow games work.'. He didn't know that he was being watched by one of Shawn's Spirits and it flew toward the dorm where Shawn was.

Inside of the abandoned dorm and in the basement, Shawn was sitting in the center of a room. It was completely covered in markings with them glowing a soft blue. "The Dueling Energy in this place is strong with this being too much for even me." said one of Shawn's spirit aka the Dark Magician of Chaos who stood there nearby him. Shawn said to the spirit,"I feel it too but there is a huge amount of darkness in here as well.".

"Your power is blocking a good amount of it but they're so much." said the magician whose staff was glowing. Shawn said,"It explains why Karen hasn't been talking that much. So do you know anything about my past? I mean both Dark Magician and Karen agree on not telling me with me not knowing pissing me the hell off.". "I guess you don't know that the blond that you are childhood friends is your true love and it was destiny to be with you." said Dark Magician of Chaos.

Shawn looked at him and he yelled,"WHAT?!". "I guess my student didn't tell you. I wonder why and is the player blushing?" said the spellcaster who smirked. "You all know about my crush on her but I don't think the feeling is mutual." said Shawn. The monster was about to say something but he heard a voice said,"Let me tell him.". Dark Magician stood there and he said,"I think both you and Alexis need this so I let Karen give her the ability to see us.".

Chaos said,"You can't be serious? You let her out?!". The magician stood in front of Shawn who was frozen in time by the spirit as Dark Magician said,"She was worried about Bart after seeing him the night before. I think we should be there for him right?". "I guess but you're my shield by the way. I hope you like pain." said Chaos. The guardian spirit said,"Good luck Shawn. You'll need it and I get to meet him again. Win win.". He put his staff on his head as Shawn glowed.

Shawn thought angrily,'Okay so why the hell did he pause time and what is going on?'. He saw that he was now sitting on a throne with him seeing two guards guarding the main door. They were Celtic Guardian on the right and Dark Blade on the left. "My liege. The ambassador from the country of Vagritis is here to speak with you." said a voice. Shawn turned to see a monster standing there and he said,"Bring her in now. She survived our attack so I want to see her now Kyonshee.".

Shawn currently had no control over his body except for his mind as the zombie monster was gone in a flash. He reappeared with a woman who looked strangely like Dorothy much to Shawn's confusion to say the least. She was silent with Shawn saying while glaring at her,"Speak now or I'll burn you alive."."Oh great Spirit Sorcerer We do wish for you to please accept the proposal of the lovely Spirit Priestess." said Dorothy. "I wish to hear about and don't make me mad." said Shawn.

Dorothy or Lynn said,"She is known for being a jewel that makes even diamonds weep and priceless stones that shatter anything in her proximity.". "I don't give a dam about her appearance but from what my scouts have heard, she has powerful duel energy. I wish to meet her in person if you don't mind." said Shawn. "It's no trouble whatsoever. She will be here soon." said the woman who left the rooms thanks to the guards.

Shawn sighed as he said,"I wish that these dam proposal would just stop Brian. This is quite the annoyance. I wish to focus on my enemies rather than my future.". Dark Magician aka Brian stood there and he said,"I wish that as well but your father's last wish to me was to find you a wife and out of all the candidates, she is extremely powerful.". Shawn stood up and he said,"She better be worth the trouble Brian. I'll be in the garden.".

He walked off as Shawn thought,'Man. I sound like a dick.'. Brian looked at Shawn who said,"I wish that my liege would be a little more open to the whole thing. He is too focused on defeating any of my enemies despite him being a strategist and supreme wizard. Oh King Lucian and Queen Felicia, your son Darren is just a pain and I wish for your blessing to help him grow as a king. He has the brain and power but not the heart.".

On the road to Darren's Kingdom. A young girl with blonde hair and hazel eyes with her wearing a dress that was black at the top with pink being at the bottom. She was glancing out of her carriage as she was heading toward the Spirit Kingdom where the Spirit Sorcerer lived. She said to one of her duel spirits,"I wish that I didn't have to come here. I'm fifteen years old and I'm getting married for goodness sake!".

This is Karen by the way and she just happened to look like the epitome of beauty. She was talking to the monster known as Cyber Tutu who wore a ballerina dress. "Karen Susana Rhodes! You do know that our world is danger right? We won't be able to protect our kingdom without their help. Cyber Blader and I are here to make sure that you go through with it.". "I know that but still. This guy could be a pretty snob."  said Karen who sighed and wondered if this was good for her.

In the garden. Darren was sitting on the fountain with him channeling his energy and hoping nothing would bother him. He was more focused on the war at hand rather finding an age. He had skipped the parties that his parents had when he was younger. "Man. I wish I could talk or do something. This is so boring." said Shawn. "Would you shut up? I am trying to focus here. I know that Brian in the future is showing you your past but shut up." said Darren.

Shawn said,"Man. I feel bad for you. I mean she must be cute right?". "I don't care about that and you should care about the war against the Shadows and the Society of Light." said Darren who looked up to see some of his winged spirits guarding the kingdom from their enemies along with also keeping an eye out for the princess. The two heard trumpets and Darren jumped a foot in the air with Shawn said,"Smooth move your highness.".

Darren yelled,"Shut up! Why can't I have some peace to channel my magic?! Why can't you just shut up!". "Two words. Chill out." said Shawn. Brian appeared next to Darren and he said,"I wish to inform that the princess from Vagritis is here.". "I would but I rather not." said Darren. Brian said to him,"You do know that keeping a woman waiting is a bad idea.". "No. Now I am going back to channeling." said Darren who ignored the spellcaster much to his annoyance.

In the main hall of the kingdom. "Where is that dam wizard?!" yelled Karen. "I honestly have no idea Karen. We should go look together." said Cyber Blader who stood right next to her. Cyber Tutu was flirting with some of the guards not on duty and Karen said,"Oh. We're not going to look for a spoiled brat who didn't show up on time.". The warrior smiled as she said,"If you insist Karen, I am going to find him and make him mine. Sit here and let me win.".

She knew that Karen's pride is stronger than most and she really hates to lose. "What?! Lets go find this spoiled brat already!" said Karen who stormed off. The warrior smirked at her trickery as she went after the priestess. After ten minutes, the two then found themselves in the courtyard where they heard starting hearing a voice. "You know that I am sick of all of this. I wish that you would get it through your thick skull that I don't want anyone." said a boy's voice.

A man's voice said,"My liege. I wish that you would just grow up. Your parents would want you to be with this girl.". "They do?" said Karen. Cyber Blader looked at her and she thought,'I guess that she was seen before by the king and queen before they passed. I do wonder if she had fallen for him due to his looks and his personality won't be that much of an eye sore.'. "I truly wish that I could marry one of my spirits instead of one of these thirsty and ugly harpies." said the first voice.

Karen thought in anger,'Ugly!? Me ugly?! I am going to strangle him and then I'm going to show him whats he is missing out on.'. She stormed out to where the voices were and the ground was shaking under her feet. "What's going on?" said Darren who was wearing a blue and red shirt under black pants and armor. "I think that she found us and she must be pissed by your comment. This is going to be good." said Brian.

Karen saw that Darren's eyes were open wide and in terror and amazement at the same time. "So you think that I'm ugly is that is?!" screamed Karen. 'Karen hasn't changed at all when it comes to her temper. She does look like a lot like Alexis when she was alive. I wonder if I look like Darren due to the fact that he hasn't walked by a mirror despite living in a castle with a lot of family photos. To say that it's weird is saying a lot.' thought Shawn.

During all of this, Darren was staring at the girl who just screamed at him. 'Wow. That woman was right. She was a sight to behold and I rather not to have her hate me.' thought Darren. The boy then took a deep breath and he said,"I'm sorry. I did think that you would look and act like the previous one who came to try and ask for marriage.". "Oh? And who was that?!" said Karen who was still angry.

Darren said with no emotions in his voice,"The princess of Khucia Empire. She had a loud and in my opinion, annoying personality.". Karen was silent with her saying,"Oh. I didn't know that she arrived before me.". "It's fine. Your kingdom is next door to her so I thought that you would be just like her. My name is Darren, the Spirit Sorcerer and also the king of this kingdom. It's nice to meet you Spirit Priestess." said Darren with a slight chuckle.

Karen said with a smile appearing on her face,"Well, I like to be called Karen and also this is your comment earlier.". She pushed him into the fountain as Brian said,"I think I may like you. No one beside me usually does that to that spoiled brat. He isn't anything like his parents at all.". "Yeah and it was funny." said Karen who was inspecting her nails. Darren came out of the water as Shawn said to him."Smooth.". "Oh shut up." said Darren in his head.

Brian and Cyber Blader decided to leave the two alone and Darren said,"Hey Karen. Do you mind helping me?". He sat there in his soaked clothing and Karen said,"I guess that you hate getting wet don't you?". She held his hand up and he kissed her on the lips. "You will make a perfect wife and I hope you like a good chase. I don't planned on marriage so soon." said Darren. He ran off with Karen running after him screaming his name.

Back in the dorm. Brian aka Dark Magician looked at Shawn who was silent. Shawn said,"Why didn't you tell me? I feel hurt.". "It was for your own good Shawn. I was hoping that you wouldn't be like him but it is like you are the child of both him and Karen. Darren was a good man by the way." said Brian. "Yeah. I hope I can live up to his expectations." said Shawn. They knew that Darren was currently sleeping in his head and they decided to let him rest for now.

Meanwhile on the docks right next to the lighthouse waiting for someone. After waiting for whats seems like forever, he was going to give up upon hearing footsteps behind him. He turned around to see a person in black waiting for him. The person was tall and wearing a black trenchcoat and a hat that matched his cloak in color. Despite this strange man being from a bad horror movie, Crowler said,"I'm guessing that you're the Shadow Duelist.".

The man said,"My opponent have called me many tings in the past with it being hard to tell through the horrors of their screams. What is the job?". While saying this, a thick fog appeared around the two of them. Crowler had an instant grin on his face as he said,"I want you to scare two students of mine to make sure that they never come back to the island. Are you up to it?". "I never give up a job and I think my assistant would as well." said the man.

Crowler looked at him lost before he felt a hand on his shoulder and he tensed up. He turned around to see another person through the fog while wearing a blindfold. "Hi!" said the man. Crowler started to scream before he stuttered out,"Who is that?". "That is my underling Jester." said the man. "How do I make the check out to?" said Crowler. "Titan. We will make these two fear the power of the shadow realm.". The fog and the men were gone as Crowler hoped that his money was worth it.

"Man Shawn. If you haven't ditched class today and found the dorm. Who knows how long it would have took to find this place?" said Nick. The three Slifers with the Obelisk by name only since he was considered to be a Slifer by most of the school anyway were going through the forest to head toward the abandoned dorm. "Hey at least we didn't go by a large puddle of water." said Chumley who was taunting the little Slifer.

Syrus looked at him and he said,"Shut up! At least I wasn't scared of taking a bath last night because of mine and Shawn's story.". "That explains the smell." said Karen. She had returned to her home aka Shawn's head a little bit earlier so that he could meet up with Nick and his crew. "I thought that smell was old grilled cheese." said Shawn who held his nose. "Hey! Don't make fun of the way that I was saving my grilled cheeses, you Obelisk!" yelled Chumley who was offended.

Shawn sighed as he said,"Just chill out man. I like Grilled Cheese but not old ones. I just want to play the game you know.". "Hey you guys. Check it out!" said Nick. He pointed his flash light in front of them to see a rose against a wall. Syrus tugged at Nick's sleeves and he said,"I think the thing behind it is way more scary Nick!". The hero duelist looked up to see a run-down building with boards and debris everywhere around it.

Nick said,"Man. That place sure looks the part.". "And it got a lot of ghosts!" said Chumley who hid behind Nick and Syrus somehow. "Don't worry Scooby. I'm pretty sure that you three will be fine for sure." said Shawn. "Bart is right since there are no such things as ghosts." said Karen. "You forget my dear about humans thinking that duel monster spirits are the ghosts." said a new voice. This voice belonged to Darren who woke up earlier.

The three Slifers turned around to hear a loud snapping sound and Shawn said,"Man. I thought that we were going to be the Ghostbusters but I guess we are Mystery Inc. I guess I'm Freddy, Lex is Daphne, Julie is Velma, Nick is Shaggy, and since we have six people here, Chum and Sy will be Scooby and Scrappy respectively.". Nick shined his flashlight on the Obelisk Queen aka Alexis and Julie who had no nickname yet.

Nick said,"How did you know that?". "Heels make a louder snap than a boot Nick." said Shawn. "So what are you guys doing here?" said Alexis while looking at the Slifer Trio. "You know that Bastion saw you an hour ago right Shawn?" said Julie. "And he told you which means that you told Alexis in the process of the whole thing." said Shawn. "We heard about this place and we wanted to check out like those things that Banner and Shawn was talking about." said Nick who held his flashlight strong.

Alexis said,"I thought you three would have learned about the students who have gone missing here right Shawn?". "People went missing here?" said Julie. "So it is true." said Nick. Syrus looked at Shawn and he said,"Do ou know about this place Shawn?". Shawn was quiet as Nick said,"Come on. You are just trying to scare us aren't you Alexis?". "If I was Nick, why would the academy close this place down huh?" said Alexis.

Julie said,"You guys do know that if a single teacher finds you here, you will be expelled without any questions.". Chumley said,"So then what are you two doing here?". Alexis's face went bright red as she said,"It is none of your business!". "She is Karen's descendant alright. I like her so ask her out for me." said Darren. "Hey Alexis. You know that we came to look around and we will leave you." said Nick who smiled.

Alexis sighed and she said while walking away,"It's just that....". "Just what?" said Syrus. "One of the kids who went missing is her older brother Atticus Rhodes. my older sister Maria,  and my master or father Ryou." said Shawn. Nick looked at the rose on the ground and he thought,'That explains the rose. So did you do anything Shawn?'. He looked back to see that Alexis was walking away and Shawn said,"I miss my sister and master with Alexis really missing her brother.".

Syrus looked at the building and he said,"I think we should go back Nick. "Well I say that we go in due to it could be really fun." said Nick. "What?" said Chumley and Syrus. The two saw that Nick was heading into the dorm with his flashlight heading in front of him. He waved back at the group and Shawn said,"Later Hero Boy! Don't go missing on me. We still haven't our duel!". "Wait for us Nick!" said Syrus.

He and Chumley went after their roommate and before Shawn could join them, Julie stopped him by grabbing his jacket. "I thought that you were smarter than this Shawn." said Julie. "Not really Julie. So can I go now?" said Shawn. "No! I may be interested in this stuff but I am not going to be expelled! And I won't lose one of my good friends due to his stubborn nature." said Julie. "Okay. Lets go then." said Shawn.

The two didn't noticed that Alexis was still there watching the group leaving. She was worried about Julie and Shawn together but she knew that she liked someone else but she got over it. She looked at the abandoned dorm with Nick inside. "I hope Nick knows what he is doing." said Alexis. She was about to leave but then she was grabbed by a shadow figure and then she was grabbed. She screamed loudly after that.

Julie said,"You hear that?". "Yeah. That was Lex. She is in trouble." said Shawn who clenched his fists with his nails piercing his skin. "Like you girlfriend!" said a voice. Another shadow grabbed Julie and she was gone. "Shawn!" said Julie. Shawn turned around and he said,"Son of a bitch. I really need to find Hero Boy and the gang.". He ran back to the dorm and he thought,'I'm going to murder them with my new power.'. His hands were glowing gold.

Inside of the dorm. The Slifers were looking the inside of the dorm. It was more rundown than it was seen from the outside. It looked like a storm that hit the room and halls. "Hey you guys. This place is pretty awesome! I mean if we get some fresh paint, a couple of boxes, and throw rig. We could move in no problem." said Nick. "Are you serious?! This place looks worse than the Slifer Dorms! I mean look at this!" said Syrus.

He aimed his flashlight at a wall with a large amount of symbols and letters with was curved or it was painted on. "So what is this?!" said Syrus. "Maybe it has something to do with the Shadow Games that Banner was talking about?" said Chumley while looking at the marks. "Hey you guys. I think this wall has the seven Millennium Items! Ring, Puzzle, Scale, Key, Rod, Eye, and Necklace....... I never heard of them.".

He then flashed his flashlight on the wall and he said,"And some people who I've never seen before at all.". Meanwhile in a different part of the dorm, Alexis woke up inside of a coffin with her wrists and her ankles tied together. "Where am I?" said Alexis. "You are dangling on a hook just waiting for the one in the blue jacket to get devour by the shadows." said a voice. She said,"Shawn.". She then saw an eye flash in front of her.

In fact, the same thing was happening somewhere else. Julie was tied to a pole and trying to get free from the whole thing. "Don't bother hon. Those rope knots are tight!" said a voice which sounded a lot creepy than normal. "Who are you!? Let me go!?" said Julie. "I just hope that the idiot trio finds you." said the voice. She was shown Nick along with Chumley and Syrus. "Don't worry them! If I see them hurt, you are dead meat!" yelled Julie.

The voice said,"Sassy much? You can't do a thing to me since I got this beauty.". said the voice. She then saw a golden object in front of her with it being a golden pole with two scales dangling from it and the voice said,"So who is in charge now?". The three Slifers looked around until an ear piercing scream went through the air. "What was that?" said Syrus who put his hands over his ears. "That was Julie!" said Nick.

He ran down the hallway where they started from with his friends following him. He suddenly stop much to their joy. He bent down and he grabbed something from the floor. "Hey guys. It is one of her cards." said Nick. He held Breaker the Magical Warrior and he said,"I remember this from her duel against Tor.". Another scream went through the building and this one came from upstairs. "Who else is here?!" said Chumley. "It's Alexis!" yelled Shawn.

The three saw Shawn above them. "Shawn! Is something else here?!" yelled Nick. "Yeah! Julie got captured too! Did you guys hear anything?!" yelled Shawn who was looking at them. "Yeah. I think that first scream was Alexis in hindsight where we are and another where you are which I think is Julie!" said Nick. "Okay. You guys take the upstairs! I will go downstairs. I will be fine. We don't have time for this." said Shawn.

He jumped the railing toward the ground in front of them and Nick said,"Once you find her, meet up with us outside of the dorm when you find her!". "Will do later Slifers!" said Shawn. He ran off as the Hero Duelist went up the stairs nearby him. "Lets go guys!" said Nick. "I have a bad feeling about this. I mean what if she isn't here." said Syrus. "She is here Sy. I can feel it." said Nick. "I hope you are right Nick." said Chumley. The two followed him up the stairs.

The three were going through the upper floor while looking for their friend. Nick stopped in front of a door that had a light under it. "That sure doesn't look right to me." said Nick. He then kicked the door down with that getting his friends's attention. The three boys saw when they entered. Julie was tied up and a guy who was wearing a blindfold with him about to gag her. "Hey! Let her go freak!" yelled the Hero Duelist.

The man turned around to reveal that he too was wearing a black cloak and orange hair. He looked to be in his early twenties. "Nick!? You and the guys are in danger!" yelled Julie. "Like hell you are. I welcome to the party children!" said the man. "Let her go now bastard!" yelled Nick. Syrus never saw Nick mad with him being scared by this side of him. "I can't do that whatsoever. You see my name is Jester and I was hired to make sure that you live an eternal nightmare!" said Jester.

Nick said,"It's a good thing that I'm ain't afraid of no ghosts! You don't scare me!". "Even with this little beauty?" said Jester who showed the item that Julie saw her earlier. "What the?" said Nick. "It is the.... Uh. What is it?" said Chumley. "It's name doesn't matter. We are going to play a little game and it is known as the Shadow Games and you four are on the collection plate of souls!" said Jester. "Like hell we are!" said Julie and Nick.

Nick then pulled out his duel disk and he said,"I guess I am going to be showing you the power of my heroes!". He put his deck in and he said,"Now get your game on!". "Oh goodie. A Hero deck. This is going to be fun." said Jester who activated his duel disk which was midnight black and the tray came out like a scythe. Nick and the Slifers wasn't the only one dealing with the Shadow Games since the Obelisk Prodigy was trapped in one too.

He was in a round room with him glaring at a tall figure dressed in black with Alexis being out cold nearby him with her arms and legs tied up. "Do you wish to save her boy? You will have to defeat me in a Shadow Game to free her!" said Titan aka a Shadow Duelist who was pointing out. "Bart. Are you ready for one?" said Karen. "You know that he is my descendant after all and I know that fake isn't a good test for young Bart." said Darren.

Shawn said,"You're going down and going to fear my anger.". "I'm so scared of a boy who is a total coward of the dark. I hope that shadows enjoy you once you go there!" said Titan. Shawn activated his duel disk and he said,"I'm Powered up Now! Time to Duel!". "It is time for a shadow game boy and this is going to be good." said Titan who activated his deck. Titan said while he drew a card from his deck,"You're dead now. I summon Infernalqueen Archfiend in attack mode!".

A large bone covered creature stood there with it covered in dark robes while screeching its lungs out in the process. (4/900/1500). "An Archfiend?" said Shawn. "You know your stuff kid. With this card out on my field, each and every monster on the field gains 1000 attack points!" said Titan. A purple fog went into the Archfiend's body as she grew stronger. (4/900-1900/1500). "Yeah. I knew that. You have to pay a price to keep them on the field aka your life points." said Shawn.

Titan laughed as he said,"Oh. I overcame that little problem a long time ago with this.". He placed a field spell down. A light shined over the field forcing Shawn to cover his eyes in the process. When he opened them, he saw that the room was now extremely creepy with it filled with bone statues of grim looking monster and bone covered wall and a lava pool in the middle of the field. "I will have to give him that it looks pretty cool." said Darren.

Shawn said,"Pandemonium won't save you from my wrath!". "So you know what this card does as well. I'm impressed blue. As you already know, I don't have to pay a single one of my points to keep my Archfiend on my field. Even if you destroy one, I can just summon another one of a lower level right into my hand." said Titan. 'I guess I can't relay on that weakness.' thought Shawn. "You're so thinking about her aren't you boy? Her fate is sealed and you know what?" said Titan.

When he said that, the coffin then closed up and went into the ground. "Alexis! Give her back right now!" yelled Shawn. Titan saw that his eyes glowed bright gold for a second and he said,"You will have to beat me to get her back. I end my turn.". "Fine then! I draw!" said Shawn. He looked at his hand and he thought,'Okay. I don't have anything to take out the rejected Zelda Monster so I better try this out now.".

He said,"I summon Queen's Knight in attack mode!". A knight stood there and she glared at the man with her saying,"I will get her back.". (4/1500/1600). "I know. We'll do this together. I end my turn with two face downs." said Shawn. "You won't have a chance to use them." said Titan. He drew a card and he said to Shawn,"I now summon Terrorking Archfiend in attack mode!". A new fiend stood alongside his queen with this one being different than her.

It was covered to the brim with electricity sparking around its body appearing with it fitting the king in its name well with the crown on its head. (4/2000/1500). "You remember the effect of my queen? I think you do." said Titan. The king grew in its strength with a purple aura. (4/2000-3000/1500). "Okay. This may be bad." said Shawn. "You're right about that! I attack that knight with my king! Show her your locus storm barrage!" said Titan.

Its rib cage opened up making a huge amount of locust flying out of it going right toward the knight. "I'm going to have stop that! I play my face down to my right!" said Shawn. The bugs were blocked by a wall as Titan said,"Is that a trap?". "No and I know your king's effect. I don't want Lady Luck against me. I activate the spell card Warrior's Shield. By pay half of my life points, I get to keep my monster by sending one to the grave and I stop your attack." said Shawn.

Titan: 4000 Life Points.
Shawn: 2000 Life Points.

A stereotypical shield appeared next to him with bugs hitting him. Titan said,"Was it worth it saving your knight? Your spell won't save you from this!". He held the golden pyramid in his other hand with it shining a light that wasn't making Shawn fell good. "Now the game truly begins! Your life points are pointless now that your life is on the line. It is a shame." said Titan. Shawn saw his right arm and chest were partly erased like someone had taken an huge eraser and rubbed him out.

Shawn said,"Hey! That was my good arm bastard!". "You know that this is the way of the shadows child! It goes past the game and attacks your body." said Titan. Shawn took a deep breath and then he smiled. 'Why is he smiling?! He should be in pain right now!' thought Titan. "Hey Darren. Prepare to watch me school this tool with the power of my family!" said Shawn. The man said,"You are crazy. I hope that this turn proves fruitful for you because it may be your last.".

Shawn drew and he said,"Okay! I play the spell card Pot of Greed. You know what this card does right?". He drew two more cards and he said,"Perfect Draw yes! I activate my trap! Call of the Sword!". A trap card with a sword in the center appeared and Titan said,"What does that do? You know my king's effect so why did you play it?". "It's a good thing that you ask that. By sending a monster in my deck to the grave, I can special summon one to join the battle!" said Shawn.

Shawn said,"I special summon Command Knight!". A crimson armored knight stood there with her aiming her sword right at Titan. (4/1200/1600). "Her special effect gives my knight some extra fire power and also you can only attack her!" said Shawn as the two females in front of her glowed in front of him. (Command Knight: 4/1200-1600/1600). (Queen's Knight: 4/1500-1900/1600). "So what is that going to do?" said Titan. "I now summon my King's Knight in attack mode!" said Shawn.

A king like knight in the center of the two women with him looking serious. (4/1600/1400). "Beside him getting powered up by my crimson knight, I can activate his special effect. Since I have Queen's Knight out on the field, I can special summon Jack's Knight from my deck!" said Shawn. As the kingly knight glowed, a fourth knight joined the battle field with him getting the same power up alongside his fellow knights. (King's Knight: 4/1600-2000/1400). (Jack's Knight: 5/1900-2300/1000).

Titan started to laugh and he said,"I don't think that your chess game is going to scare me!". "I'm not done yet. I now play the spell card Monster Reborn! I bring back the monster that I just sent to the graveyard! Dark Magician!" said Shawn. The famous spellcaster stood there with his arms crossed and he said,"I'm going to enjoy this.". (7/2500/2100). "How do you have that card?" said Titan. "Lets just say that I got good luck. I now play this spell! Knight's Title!" said Shawn.

Titan saw a spell card that looked like Warrior Shield except it had two wands. "By sending my ace back to the grave, I can special summon Dark Magician Knight in attack mode!" said Shawn. Titan saw a knight version of the wizard standing there with him looking angry. (7/2500/2100). "You know that he gets a boost from my command knight already so I activated his special effect. Since he was special summoned, I can destroy one card on the field and I pick your king!" said Shawn.

The magic knight glowed as Shawn said,"Now destroy him with your dark magic slash!". (7/2500-2900/2100). He then rushed toward the monster and Titan said,"I now activate his special effect! Spin Roulette!". A set of six colored orbs with a fireball stood next to him. It went around them with Titan expecting him to loose his precious monster but his face was shocked to see that it didn't work since it landed on a 3 just barely shy of 2.

The fiend was destroy and Shawn said,"I now attack with my Jack's Knight and my Queen's Knight. If you two don't mind.". They did what he wanted as Jack's Knight slashed the fiend queen with the queen slashing Titan. "I activate my field's special effect. I bring a monster from my deck to replace my queen that I lost." said Titan. He added a card to his hand. "Defeat him now King's Knight! King Slash!" said Shawn.

Titan: 1700 Life Points.
Shawn: 2000 Life Points.

He rushed toward Titan but the duelist said,"I play the quick play spell Archfiend's Revenge! Since you destroy two of my monsters, I get to take from you the same amount and I pick your king and command knight!". A card of demonic spirits attacking a monster appeared. Infernalqueen Archfiend and Terrorking Archfiend came out with the two of them dragging the respect knights right toward the grave. "Losing my men to such a pathetic spell. Destroy him now." said Darren.

Shawn said,"I agree with you on that.". "This means that your pathetic knights lose the power that received that thanks to Command Knight." said Titan who started laughing. (Jack's Knight: 5/2300-1900/1000). (Queen's Knight: 4/1900-1500/1600). (Dark Magician Knight: 7/2900-2500/2100). "Is that all you got freak?!" said Shawn. "I don't think that he is done yet you guys. I think that spell is going to cause a lot of trouble." said Karen who crossed her arms. 

Titan said,"Oh. Did I forget to mention the other effect of my Archfiend's Revenge? Well, it destroys equal monsters to the amount that I lost on the turn that I play the card but you lose life points. You gain 500 life points for each monster and I count two.". Shawn saw two giant demonic bone hands as they smashed directly into Shawn. Despite being a healing card for him, it hurt him more than it healed him.

Titan: 1700 Life Points.
Shawn: 3000 Life Points.

Titan said,"I now play the quick play spell card known as Archfiend's Howl of the Dammed!". A card then appeared with Infernalqueen Archfiend singing and Shawn said,"So what does that do?". "Oh it is simple boy. It destroys all of your monsters that you have and brings back my monster." said Titan who smiled.  Shawn saw his field destroyed by a howl as the two fiend return with their original power from before they were destroyed.

(Infernalqueen Archfiend: 3/900-1900/1500). (Terrorking Archfiend: 4/2000-3000/1500). Shawn took a breath and he said,"I end my turn.". "Shawn! Are you okay?" said Karen. "Is this me in this era? He isn't doing good against this failed fear monster. I wonder if he is a hack just like this one." said Darren. "Shut up Darren. This duel isn't over yet! My master said that a duel isn't over yet until you're out of card and I still have them!" said Shawn. It isn't looking good for Shawn right now.

Both Jester and Nick were getting ready to duel as Nick said,"Give me her back or else you will fear the power of heroes baby!". "Nah. I think that I should do this!" said Jester. He slammed the staff into the ground with Nick watching Chumley and Syrus being knocked out by a smoke machine and also dragged by some claws with Chumley being more of a struggle because of his weight. Nick growled as Jester said,"Beat me. You get all three back no problem.".

Nick said as he drew his starting hand,"You're up!". "Goodness. You really need to calm that temper of yours." said Jester. He drew a new card and he said,"I now summon my Treeborn Frog in defense mode.". A little orange frog with black spots and wings appeared. (1/100/100). "I will end my turn with that." said Jester who smiled. "Huh? A Treeborn Frog? You have to be kidding me if that this is your starting move!" said Julie.

Nick said,"Fine! If you're not taking this serious, I will!". He drew a card and he said,"I first summon my Elemental Hero Ocean in attack mode!". The ocean hero stood there and Nick said,"Destroy him with Ocean Strike!". (4/1500/1200). The water destroyed the frog and Nick said,"Give them back you bastard. I will end my turn with this face down.". A card appeared behind the hero as Jester said,"I think that was sad to say the least!". He drew a card and he smiled.

Jester said,"You two go here right? I thought you would know that since it is the start of my turn, I can bring my friend back!". "What?!" said the two teens. The frog return. (1/100/100). "Hey wait a second." said Nick. "It is Tribute Fodder." said Julie. "Took you all forever to figure it out. I send my froggy friend back to bring out Zaborg, the Thunder Monarch!" said Jester who laughed like crazy and Nick hoped that this wouldn't hurt.

The frog was destroy by a single thunderbolt as a man in white armor, green, and yellow highlander kilt stood there with him grinning at Nick. (5/2400/1000). "A Monarch monster?" said Julie. "Yep! It is time to play his effect. Since he was tribute summoned, I can destroy a monster like fishy over there and it will be glorious!" said Jester. The monster destroyed Elemental Hero Ocean with it as Jester said,"Now! Show him your Electric Judgement!".

The monster then fired a giant lightning bolt at him causing Nick to scream loudly. He went down to his knees as Julie said,"Nick!". "Man. That was sure fun! I guess your soul belongs to this now." said Jester. The item glowed right toward Nick's direction with Julie closing her eyes. When she opened them, both of Nick's legs were gone along with part of his stomach. "What the?" said Nick who was recovering from the lightning.

Jester: 4000 Life Points.
Nick: 1600 Life Points.

Jester said,"You're playing in a Shadow Game boy! You're lucky that I'm so nice because of the effect of losing a monster to my monarch. You lose life points meaning that your soul slows belongs to the Shadow Realm.". "You need to get up Nick!" yelled Julie. "You should give up." said Jester who had ended his turn. Nick drew a card and he said,"Man. I'm just getting fired up now!". He looked at his hand and he said,"This will work.".

Nick said,"I activate my face down! Call of the Haunted! This lets me bring back my hero which you destroyed!". The hero return back in defense mode. (4/1500/1200). "So? He is nothing compared to my monster." said Jester. "Fine. I will send him back so I can bring out my Elemental Hero Sand Master in attack mode!" said Nick. A huge burst of sand appeared on Nick's side of the field and it replaced Ocean with something.

The sand formed into a single person with him looking more like a bum than anything else with his sandy blonde hair and goatee not helping his case. (6/2200/1200). "You do know that you need to summon a hero with more power right?" said Julie over Jester's laughter. "I know that because this hero isn't a man to give up. Show him your Sand Smash!" said Nick. The hero nodded as he turned into a giant elephant made of the sand.

Jester said,"I guess the lightning bolt made him crazy so attack him.". The lightning bolt went right through the mammal and he said,"Huh?!". "His special effect activates. When he is battling a light attribute monster such as your monarch, he gains 1000 attack points. Destroy that annoying monster for Ocean!" said Nick. (6/2200-3200/1200). The sand went through the monster causing it to exploded in a burst of sand.

Jester: 3200 Life Points.
Nick: 1600 Life Points.

The sand reformed back to the hero with his original attack points in tact. (6/3200-2200/1200). Jester in the process of this attack lost a section of his arm where his cards were and part of his leg. Jester said with a smile,"You got lucky kid but this duel is still mine!". "Well, my face downs say no to that idea so you're up." said Nick. Two cards appeared behind the hero with Striker drawing a card despite not being able to see.

Jester said,"I first set this baby in defense mode.". A face down monster appeared with Jester saying to Nick,"I now play Straw Lambs! This gives me two lamb tokens!". In two pink puffs, a white and red lamb appeared on the fiend with them having no clue about whats going on. (1/0/0) x2. "I end my turn with a face down!". said Jester. Treeborn Frog also came back (1/100/100). Nick drew a card and he said,"Okay. That looks like more tribute fodder to me.".

He looked at his hand and he said,"I summon Elemental Hero Spear!". A warrior stood there with a stern look and a very sharp spear in his hands stood there from the mist with his gold battle armor and long brown hair going to around his shoulder sticking out. (4/1900/1100). "I attack with him! Destroy that face down monster!" said Nick. The spear hit the card only to hear something that stopped him in his tracks. A clang.

He looked in front of his spear to see a small zombie with a tiny spear and purple cloak blocking his attack. (3/300/200). "You do know that that Spirit Reaper can't be destroyed right?" said Jester. "Fine then! Sand Master, Sand Fist that lamb!" said Nick. The monster made a giant fist which launched right toward the lamb until Jester said,"I activate Shift! This means that your sandy freak will be hitting my treeborn frog!".

The frog was destroyed in a burst of sand as Nick said,"Son of a gun!". He thought to himself,'I need to stop this or else a new monarch is coming out to place which I don't want!'. "Nick." said Julie. "I end my turn." said Nick. "Good! My draw!" said Jester. While doing this, the frog return back to the field with a happy Ribbit. (1/100/100). "I activate my face down One Choice!" said Nick. A card with a road map with a red line marking a forked road.

Nick said,"Now. You have a choice here. Now when you special summon a monster, you can either discard three cards from your hand or drop the top three cards from your deck!". Jester growled and Julie thought,'Sweet! Nick just forced him to get rid of his monarchs for sure!'. 'My hand is way too precious to give up.' thought Jester with him discarding three cards from his deck. "I now send a card down and I send one of my lambs to summon Mobius the Frost Monarch!" said Jester.

A freezing wind went through the room making the Slifer shiver. The token was gone by a huge pillar of frozen water with another white armored man but with a blue cape stood there. (6/2400/1000). Nick sighed as he said,"So what does the snowcone do?". "He can destroy two spells or traps cards on the field! I pick one of mine and one of yours!" said Jester. The monster made a freezing wind which did just that.

Jester said,"I activate the trap card that I just destroyed! Statue of the Wicked!". Nick remember this card well from his duel with Crowler and he said,"So how long are you going to do this?". "Until, I destroy you! I now attack Sandy with Mobius! Frozen Wrath!" said Jester. The monster froze the hero into a giant block of ice before smashing it. Nick lost the rest of his stomach and he fell down to the ground. "I end my turn with a face down! You will be done soon!".

Jester: 3200 Life Points.
Nick: 1400 Life Points.

Julie was worried for her friend and she said,"Come on Nick. You can win. 'I hope Shawn is doing better. Everything that I throw at this card is being stopped in their tracks. I hope you can save the girls plus Chum and Sy. I don't think that I can.' thought Nick. However, Shawn was doing worse that he was. "You are going to die! I hope that you have made your final goodbyes to your friends before coming here!" said Titan.

Shawn said,"My turn ain't done yet! I activate my face down from my first turn! It's known as Mirage of Nightmares!". A spell card appeared with a traveler being surround by mummies. "I end my turn with that!" said Shawn.  Titan then laughed as he said,"Wasting my time is a bad move! Your warrior won't last at all with this duel being your last. Alexis's soul is mine and you will be joining her! It is my draw....".

Shawn said,"Not so fast freak! My spell activates during your drawing phase. I get to draw four cards so thanks for lady luck huh?". Shawn now had four cards in his hand and Titan said,"It doesn't matter at all! You could have four million cards but it would mean nothing to me. Allow me to show you. I hope you like the Shadow Realm! Locust Storm Barrage!". The insects then came out at Shawn who smiled at that.

Shawn said,"Hook, line, and sinker! I activate my trap! Mirror Force!". A barrier protect Shawn and the bugs went back to the two fiends and sent them back to the graveyard. "How dare you?! It doesn't at matter." said Titan. "It sounded like it did." said Karen. "I now by sending my Desrook Archfiend to the grave to bring back my Terrorking!" said Titan. The monster then came back and it looked mad since it was destroyed twice. (4/2000/1500).

Darren said,"Hold on. Why didn't he activate his field spell at all? Both his queen and king were destroyed by a effect rather than battle?". "I am guessing that he doesn't have any more weaker monster or he just plan forgot." said Shawn. The bugs then came back from round two as Shawn said with a smile,"I activate my third and final face down! Emergency Provisions!". The final face down card on his field appeared and the man looked lost.

Shawn said,"This spell allows me to sent a spell or trap on my field with me getting a grand in life points back. Ain't that sweet, I pick my Mirage of Nightmare.". The move saved him but the bugs bit hard. "You're still standing?!" said Titan. "I still got my feet and I can keep dueling!" said Shawn who was angry. "Fine! Time to pay the Shadow Realm once again!" said Titan as he held the Millennium Item and it glowed.

Titan: 1700 Life Points.
Shawn: 1000 Life Points.

Shawn saw that his left arm was gone just like the rest of the part of his body. 'Man. I am hanging on the edge here.' thought Shawn. Shawn then drew a card and he said,"I need to make this turn count because my love is in danger! I play the spell the Shallow Grave! We get to each pick a monster to return in defense mode. I pick Dark Magician!". The spellcaster return in a defending position and Titan said with a smile,"Prepare to die from my queen once again!". (Dark Magician: 7/2500/2100).

The queen return to the field and the friend also gained a power boost. (Infernalqueen Archfiend: 3/900-1900/1500). (Terrorking Archfiend: 4/2000-3000/1500). "Okay. I summon Magician's Valkyria in attack mode so come on out!" said Shawn. A girl who looked like Dark Magician Girl stood there with her magic wand in hand. (4/1600/1800). "Is she going to do anything to me?" said Titan. "Oh. I am not done yet. I now play the spell card Sage's Stone!" said Shawn who smiled.

A stone appeared in front of the magicians as Shawn said,"Since I have Dark Magician on my field, I can special summon Dark Magician Girl from my deck!". The famous female monster stood there and she winked at Shawn. (6/2000/1700). "So what? Those weak monster does nothing compared to my king!" said Titan. "I'm not done yet!" said Shawn. He slammed a card down and he said,"I play the Equip Spell Magician Scepter and switch my Dark Magician back to attack!".

Dark Magician's scepter glowed brighter as he stood up. (7/2500-3200/2100). "I attack your king with Dark Magic Attack!" yelled Shawn. The magician then destroyed the fiend as Titan growled. "I end my turn!" said Shawn. Shawn saw that Titan had lost his left leg and right hand as well. 'I wonder if this could work with Chumley.' thought Shawn. "It doesn't matter! I now send another Desrook Archfiend to bring him back! There is no escape." said Titan.

Titan: 1500 Life Points.
Shawn: 1000 Life Points.

The fiend return as Titan said,"I now send him to the graveyard to summon Skull Archfiend of Lightning!". A much bigger fiend stood there and it may look like Summoned Skull except for the more scary appearance along with electricity travel through its body and then the queen smiled as the new fiend gained more power. (6/2500-3500/1200). "You got my worst now! I switch my queen into attack mode! Destroy that bitch now Skull Archfiend of Lightning!" yelled Titan.

A huge bolt of lightning went toward the magician and Shawn said,"I now play the quick spell! Half Shot!". The lightning destroyed the girl as Shawn screamed. "I need to hang on for Alexis!" said the boy. "Look into the Millennium Item! You belong to the shadow now! You have no life points and soon, no soul!" said Titan. Shawn could only see darkness and he said,"Alexis. I'm sorry.". He heard Titan's laugh during the whole thing.

Titan: 1500 Life Points.
Shawn: 50 Life Points.

Back with Julie. "Nick, you can still win! Get up!" yelled Julie. "Shut up girl. The shadows are now enjoying him along with the boy in basement plus I got five monsters to his one!" said Jester. "Who are you...." said Julie. She figured it out as she said,"Shawn and Alexis! What are you doing?!". "My boss is handling him and it isn't worth your time to think about it." said Jester. 'I really need to get her back but I can't. Sorry Jul..' thought Nick.

"Get up now human! I don't want you to lose to this fake!" yelled a voice. A loud voice made the boy look up and he saw a orb of fire in front of him. "Who are you?" said Shawn. "I'm not worth your time but I don't want to lose now get up!" yelled the orb. Shawn then saw that the orb went into him and he said in fear,"Hey! What are you doing to me?!". He screamed in a fiery glory and he said,"This won't work on me any more so burn!".

"Cooo!" said a voice. Nick looked up to see a small orb of light dancing around him. "Hey isn't that Winged Kuriboh?" said Nick. The orb of light then started to dance around him as if they were telling him something. "You know that I'm in a lot of pain right buddy? Your light is hurting me more than this freak's attack." said Nick who laughed. The ball then glowed and Nick said,"Wait a minute! I get it now!".

Titan saw Shawn standing there and then his eyes were the bright gold from earlier. "What are you talking about boy?" said Titan. "I wish for you to stop this sham now. So is my turn now you dam fake?" said Shawn who had a demonic voice. He drew a card and he said,"I first play the spell card Call of the Devil. You have no idea about what this spell is so let me explain. I draw five cards from my deck at the cost of one of my monster." said Shawn.

A card suddenly appeared with a phone with the number 666 on it. As the phone rang, Dark Magician was sent right into the grave with Shawn drawing five cards and the Dark Magician Girl gained 300 attack points. (6/2000-2300/1700). "What is going on with Shawn Darren? This isn't his normal way of dueling. He wouldn't hurt Brian." said Karen. "This is his true power and we are going to see if he is can control or if he is nothing but a shame. I wonder if it is him." said Darren.

Shawn said,"I will show you my anger. I play the spell card Infernal Outrage and this spell works like this. By removing one card from my grave, I get to destroy a spell or trap card on the field. I remove Dark Magician from my grave and I get rid of Pandemonium! It is time for a flame that burns forever! Eternal Blaze!". A huge burst of flame then appeared from the spell card that appeared. Dark Magician Girl lost her power up (6/2300-2000/1700).

The field turned back to normal and Titan held his millennium item. "So?! You haven't destroy this at all." said Titan. "You ask for it! Flame Beam!" said Shawn. He fired a beam of fire at the puzzle and it exploded in the process. "What did you do!?" yelled Titan. His body along with Shawn turned back to normal. "That isn't a real shadow game just mirrors and smoke to make me look like I was losing my soul. It is just that a shame like you dam jobless carny!" said Shawn.

Titan said,"I'm not jobless! I can get my job back at the fair anytime that I want!". "I don't care and I am going to say that your fake Millennium item goes well with little kids." said Shawn. Titan was sweating and he said,"No! Shut up! It's real and I'm real!". "Right. Doctor Crowler is beloved by the students." said Shawn. "Idiot! I still have the girl!" yelled Titan. "Oh right. You took my love from me." said Shawn as the coffin returned to the field.

Titan said,"Yes. You remember the girl. She is currently trapped inside of a Shadow Tomb and her soul is decay inside of the netherworld! This shows that this Millennium Pendant is real!". He was holding his extremely charred item and he said,"What do you have to say to that?". "I may hate a lot of things but weren't they called the Millennium Items and that one that the fake has is called a Millennium Puzzle? It is just many things wrong with this guy." said Darren.

Shawn said,"You can't even get the name right. It is one of the Millennium Items that covered these walls from a single glance and that item you are holding is known as the Millennium Puzzle and not the Millennium Pendant. A first grader knows that.". Titan thought,'Dam it! He figured it out! Forget the money! I need to find Jester and get out!'. Shawn glared at him and he said with his eyes glowing,"So give me back Alexis and the others.".

Titan said,"Others? I have no idea about what you're talking about! Since you're such a spoiled brat, I guess you have to find blondie yourself!". He then threw a smoke bomb down at his feet and Shawn who sighed said,"I guess I will have to teach him two things. One don't think about messing with me and two don't you dare give up a duel!". He ran after him through the smoke and the fire in his eyes grew around him.

Back with Nick. "What are you talking about?" said Julie. "Just watch and find out Jul. Time to show you what happens when you trick a hero!" said Nick. He drew a card as Jester thought,'I thought this brat is supposed to be shaking in his boots! What's up?!'. "I play the spell card Destruction!" said Nick. A spell card showing an explosion blasting several monster appeared in front of Nick. The hero duelist smiled.

Nick said,"Ain't she a beauty Jester? For each monster we have, we lost 300 life points thanks to this explosion that destroys all monsters on the field!". "Huh?" said Jester as a grenade exploded right in front of him making a huge explosion of smoke. Spear then blew up along with Jester's five monsters by the smoke. Julie said,"Nick! Are you okay!?". "You're an idiot kid! Hey... Where is it?!" said the voice of Jester.

Jester: 1700 Life Points.
Nick: 1100 Life Points.

"You mean this?" said Nick. The smoke cleared as Nick stood there holding the item in his hand. "I don't think this should be legal right?!" said Nick. He stomped on the item causing it break in half with Nick returning to the duel. While doing this, their body return back. "You're a fake bro. This was all just an illusion to mess with our minds! That pain that I felt was fake but the anger that I have for you is real!" said Nick.

Jester was found out and he wasn't happy about it. "So the Shadow Games aren't real?" said Julie. "I don't know but this item wasn't. I mean if it was, would it have been so easy to break like that? It was actually pretty easy. Twenty bucks says that this guy was a former carny." said Nick. "Actually I was a street magician!" said Jester. Nick said,"Thanks. You just proved my point.". "Dam it! I'm not going to be paid at all!" said Jester.

Nick said,"Time to exact some justice! I summon Elemental Hero Stratos in attack mode!". The metal winged hero stood there and Nick said,"I activate his effect to bring a hero from my deck to my hand but it doesn't matter. I'm ending this duel! Hurricane Blast!". (4/1800/300). The wind came toward him and Jester said,"Stop! I'm not done yet! I play my face down Metal Reflect Slime!".  A weird liquid and solid ball appeared ready to block the attack. (10/0/3000).

Nick said,"Stop!". The wind went back as Nick said,"I end my turn with a face down.". The final card in his hand went down as Jester drew his card and it looked he was ripping it off. "I play the spell Pot of Greed!" said Jester. He drew two cards and Jester said,"I now send my slime to the graveyard and I summon Granmarg, the Rock Monarch in attack mode.". The slime then morphed into a tan armored warrior with blue banners on his legs. (6/2400/1000).

Jester smiled as he said,"Once he is summoned, he can destroy a face down.". "Okay. You should pick your poison." said Nick. Jester was silent as Julie said,"You got him Nick!". "I pick the ... right card!" said Jester as the monster destroyed it with a rock but it was sharp. "Destroy him with Stone Fists!" said Jester. The hero was gone as Nick lost more life points. "I end my turn!" said Jester. He then looked at the rest of his hands.

Jester: 1700 Life Points.
Nick: 500 Life Points.

Jester thought,"I know that this kid may be better than most and also smarter but I think Thestalos should end this for me and if he summons a monster that is stronger than these weaklings. He and his little girlfriend are going to pay for messing with me!'. "Hey Nick. You better have a Miracle Draw. I mean his plan is obvious." said Julie. "Yeah! I draw!" said Nick. He drew a card and he said,"I guess I will be following in your footsteps by playing my Pot of Greed!".

He added two cards to his hand and he said,"I place a monster face down and also a field spell!". 'He doesn't have cards in his hands! Dam it!' thought Jester. "I play the field spell Heroes City- New York City!" said Nick. The room then turned into an urban metropolis with the duelists and spectators were trapped in the city. "And I end my turn!" said Nick. "Fine!" said Jester. He drew his card and he said to Nick,"I send Granmarg to summon Thestalos, the Firestorm Monarch!".

The rock monster exploded in flames as a new monarch stood there wearing silver armor with a gold symbol down the middle and a red cape around his back (6/2400/1000). "Okay. So what does this one do? Destroy a monster?" said Nick. "Actually he can't do anything!" said Julie. Nick saw Jester angry to say the least as he said,"So what did do I again?". "Since you have no cards in your hand, he can't destroy anything. It's lucky that you didn't have a monster." said Julie.

Nick was still lost as Julie said,"If you had a monster in your hand, you would have taken 400 points of damage times that monster's level.". "Well, it's good that I didn't then huh." said Nick. "Fine. I equip my monster with Fairy Meteor Crush! Destroy that face down with Firestorm Crush! This duel is mine!" said Jester. "Cry me a river bro." said Nick. His monster was destroy as Jester saw that the boy still had life points. "Hey! You're cheating!" said Jester.

Nick said,'You're one to talk. Remember that face down that you didn't destroy with rocky, it was the spell known as Mystic Space Typhoon and I destroy your spell.". Jester growled as since he would have won thanks to that card giving his monster piercing damage. "Oh and that monster that you destroy." said Nick. He showed him a monster of a black haired man wearing a red shirt with the letter EH on it appeared behind Nick.

Nick said,"That was Elemental Hero Haunted. Since he was destroyed in battle, I get to draw two cards but one of them goes to the bottom of my deck.". He looked at the two cards as he picked the one on the left. "Time for my field spell to activate since your battle phase is done." said Nick who smiled. Several red lights covered the monster and then he exploded. "What the?!" said Jester. "My city destroy one of your monster at the end of your battle phase." said Nick.

Nick said,"You only have a choice but you had one so...". "No." said Jester. He was on his knees and he lost. "Can you defeat him already?" said Julie. "Yeah! I draw!" yelled Nick. He drew a card and he said,"I play Monster Reborn to bring back Stratos! Lets destroy that monster of yours with Hurricane Shot!". The monster came back and he blast Jester with it winning the duel in the process. The hero caused some wind to pop up however.

Jester: 0 Life Points.
Nick: 500 Life Points. Winner!

Nick walked over to her and he said,"Chill Jul. It's me.". He freed her and he hugged her. "You are okay!" said Julie. "Yeah. You?" said Nick. Julie nodded and she said,"So what about those two?". "I have an idea about Chumley but Syrus is sleeping. Hey Chumley, I'm eating all of the grilled cheeses and they are good!" said Nick. The big Slifer woke up and he said,"Like what happened?". "A lot. So we go check on Shawn who saved Alexis. You guys meet us there." said Julie.

Chumley grabbed Syrus as the two left the room. "Um. What are you doing?" said Nick. She walked up to Jester and she kicked him somewhere the sun don't shine. Jester was out cold and Nick said,"I feel bad for him.". "He shouldn't have tied me up then! Lets go!" said Julie. Nick was dragged out by her as he thought,'I know that I said this already but don't mess with her!'. Back with Shawn who was still pissed off.

Titan saw that his way out of here was stopped by a huge burst of flame and he heard,"You got me really pissed off so prepare to head toward the Shadow Realm!". Several beams of fire appeared from all directions and they fused together in the center of the room. It punctured right through the smoke and beside the fact that smoke on fire would exploded, a huge glowing eye appeared on the floor.

Titan saw Shawn standing there and he said,"I hope you are truly ready to see the true power of darkness itself.". He moved the fire around the two of them and the fire turned into a huge ball of sphere of fire with it swallowing them. "Shawn!" yelled a voice. It was Chumley who woke Syrus up from his slumber. "Chumley? So what happened?" said Syrus. "Shawn was taken in a huge burst of flame along with some weird guy in a mask." said Chumley.

He missed a lot of it being that Shawn created the flame and control them to turn into said ball of fire so thanks you for that. "You guys!" said two voices. They thensaw Julie and Nick running toward them with Syrus saying,"Julie. You're okay!". "Yeah. That fake shadow duelist learned not to mess with his heroes and he was doing it for money!" said Julie. "He was a fake?" said Chumley. "Yeah. You guys were asleep during my duel but he was a fake." said Nick.

He saw the ball of fire and he said,"So I guess that Shawn's opponent was actually real.". He saw that Winged Kuriboh was pointing at something. Nick jumped down to the field and Chumley said,"Hey Nick. What are you doing?". Nick held a card and Syrus said,"Hey! That is the Dark Magician! What is that doing here?". "I think it's Shawn." said Nick. Julie looked at the sphere of flames and she said to the three,"I hope he is alright.".

Inside of said fire dome. Titan was freaking out as he was currently trapped by flames. "What is this place?! Tell me now!" yelled Titan. "You were trying to scare me earlier in our duel so I think this is just desserts. Tell me where my beloved is or else you burn." said Shawn. Shawn suddenly made the temperature suddenly increased and Titan said,"Let me go and I will give her back to you!". Sghawn was about to release him but then he saw several dark blobs heading right toward Titan.

They started to cover his entire body and he said,"Please help me...". The blob were about to surround him until they were burned. "Don't even try." said Shawn. He looked at Titan who was standing up and his mask was glowing. "I wish for you to give me your soul." said Titan. "I guess you let the darkness control you. How sad." said Shawn. "Prepare to die!" said Titan. The duel was back on as Shawn said,"I'm okay with this.".

Dark Magician Girl and Skull Archfiend of Lightning then return back to the field and Shawn said,"I activate the secondary effect of my spell Infernal Outrage. By removing Dark Magician, I gain back life points based off his attack points.". A golden flame went around Shawn giving him back strength and he smiled. "I hope that you are prepared to die now! I play the spell card Lake of the Dammed!" said Shawn.  

Titan: 1500 Life Points.
Shawn: 2550 Life Points.

The lake from Shawn's story appeared with a bunch of candles surrounding it. The lake looked very deadly and Titan said,"What will that water do?". "By sending monster up to level 12 on the field into the grave, I can special summon the owner of the lake Wicked Titania. This also includes your fiends as well and it negates those nasty effects by the way." said Shawn. The summoned skull knockout and Dark Magician Girl was absorbed into the lake.

The lake started bubbling and Shawn said,"I now ritual summon Wicked Titania. Come to show him your wrath.". Suddenly a somewhat mechanical man that looked to be a man who looked to be extremely strong appeared from the lake. He was wearing a dark blue helmet with short chin length golden blond hair, blue eyes, icy blue skin, white dress shirt, light red jacket, light blue almost white denim jeans, and dark blue gloves and boots.

Titan was lost as Shawn said,"This was the lover of Wicked Titania. He died from messing with her heart. It is a truly sad tale but she found a new lover who treats her better than her former lover.". A light pink glowed surrounding the man and he exploded. Titan was shocked by the new monster standing there. She looked to be more human than anything else and really hot despite the four spider like appendages poking out from her back.

She has an hourglass figure with her also having a buxom chest. She is wearing black high heel boots that went up to her knees with a gold band around the bottom and the top of her boot which are six inches. She has four matching pincers that matches her boots and they're deadly. She has dark purple skin with her having extremely curve legs and luscious thighs being showing off that to her black skirt that went halfway up her thighs with a belt with a gold symbol of the black window on it.

She wears a dark black top with tints of purple matching her skin and it shows off her bountiful breasts and her midriff. She wears long black gloves that goes slightly past her elbows which also matched her boots, pincers, and her helmet. She wears a helmet that shows off her four glowing red eyes along with a red symbol of the black widow on her helmet. Her mouth has her fangs being shown and she has cherry red lips. She has midnight black hair with scarlet red tips. (12/4000/4000).

The fiend licked her lips as she said,"I'm finally here. It took you forever Shawn-Chan. I wonder if you have evolved in your dueling skills.". "They have by a lot. I now destroy your queen with her Toxic Webbing Storm!" said Shawn. The spider fired out a huge amount of purple webs from her mouth and it started to get poisoned. Titan screamed as he lost the rest of your life points. "And this duel is over!" said Shawn while he gave a thumbs down with the fire increasing around him.

Titan: 0 Life Points.
Shawn: 2550 Life Points. Winner!

Shawn then looked at Titan who was currently being consumed inside of the blob monster. "I need you to help me please." said Titan. Shawn just looked at him with him kicking the fire as Titan yelled with both anger and terror,"What are you doing?! Get them off me with your creepy fire power!". The boy stood there and Titan was truly absorbed into the Shadow Realm. "Please tell my wife and kids that I love the," said Titan. He was gone as Shawn's eyes went back to normal.

Shawn said,"Okay. So what just happened Karen? This place is weird but familiar.". "Shawn. What is the last thing that you remember?" said Karen. "I was losing to the guy who took Alexis from me and then I ended up here." said Shawn. "You are the true successor of my power and I am impressed that you control the Flames of Rage in your first duel. I hope you're good with me and the rest of your powers." said a voice that Shawn only heard and it scared him.

Shawn said,"Hey! That is the voice that I remember.". "That is a powerful duel spirit and if his friends are just as strong as him. We will trust him." said Darren. Shawn saw a way out of the fire sphere and he went toward it. It was over by the coffin and Shawn said,"Um thanks Mr. Spirit. I hope we can work again soon.". "Show that spirit who is in charge!" said Darren. "His master did raise him better than you." said Karen. The two started arguing much to Shawn's annoyance.

After jumping out, he saw his friends who were waiting for him. "Shawn!" yelled Syrus. "Hey Sy, You need to calm down. I'm fine and not a single burn is on me." said Shawn who showed them his entire body. "Are you sure about that Shawn?" said Julie. "So do you want me to strip to show you Julie?" said Shawn. "I don't think that is needed." said Julie. "So what happened in there man?" said Chumley. "Yeah. I mean that doesn't look like smoke and mirrors to me." said Nick.

Shawn was about to tell them about what happened and this was to his knowledge, the fire sphere then exploded on itself. It then made a huge burst of wind and Shawn grabbed on the casket where Alexis was sleeping. He held on tight until the windstorm was over. When the storm finished up in a minute, Shawn thought,'I guess the first half. two thirds, or three fourths of the duel was fake but the other part of it was a real duel or shadow game. Sweet.'. 

Syrus said,"So was that real thing you guys?". "It was just a trick Sy? So do you someone who did stuff like this?" said Shawn. "Yeah. No one can stop my Heroes when they're serious. We should get out of here." said Nick. "Right. I'll get Alexis." said Shawn. He then picked her up like a bride and he joined up with the group. He didn't noticed that the card Pandemonium appeared from the sky and it was lightly burned.

Later on, Crowler ,who did all of this, was going through the abandoned dorm and he was heading downstairs. "I bet that Shawn is frozen with fear itself. Oh Titan, where are you old friend? I would like to hear about every little duel about his...." said Crowler. He saw the burned card and he said,"I can't believe that Titan lost to that brat?! This isn't over at all.". He stormed off not seeing Jester who is in pain from Julie's kick.

When Alexis woke up, she found herself in the forest with Nick, Syrus, Julie, and Chumley looking happy upon seeing her awake up. She saw herself on Shawn's lap who was sleeping. "So where am I and what happened?" said Alexis. "Well Sleeping Beauty, Shawn saved you someone who captured you using his Dark Magician and he won. He also carried you." said Nick. Alexis had a small blush on her face as she said,"Oh. How did he know that it was me?".

Syrus said,"He just knew that it was your screaming and he jumped down from the second floor to save you while Nick went to go save Julie.". "He cares about you Alexis and he was really worried. I hope you know that." said Chumley. Alexis smiled as Nick said,"Oh yeah. We found your monster. I forgot the name of it but I remember that it hit Shawn once.". She was given Etoile Cyber along with the photograph. "We also found this." said Nick.

Alexis said while tearing up,"I can't believe. This is the first sign of my brother that I have seen in a very long time. Maria and Ryou too.". "Really Alexis? Your brother, Shawn's older sister, and his master." said Julie. "Shawn was caught up in this mess too?" said Syrus. "Yeah. He loves those two like his real family." said Alexis. "Well Alexis. Me, the Chumster, and Sy found this to tell you that we are going to help you and Shawn find them. I mean we don't want you tied up right?" said Nick.

Alexis thought while looking at the sleeping Obelisk,'I guess you haven't given up that protective nature over the people that you care about huh.'. The sun was rising up quick and Chumley said,"So you guys. We should probably get back to the dorms.". "Right." said Julie. "Oh Lex, we were never here." said Nick as he was running. Alexis saw them running and she said,"I knew that you were here Hero Boy because you found proof for me and Shawn.".

Alexis then glanced at Shawn who looked extremely peaceful and she didn't want to wake him up at all. She cuddled up next to him and she said,"They're gone now.". Shawn then opened his left eye and he said,"Oh. I guess you missed my rock hard abs. You learned how to get them by training with my master.". "You do know that I would have been just fine right? I mean you did give me one of your spirits as a bodyguard." said Alexis.

Shawn said,"Yeah. I know that you're strong, independent, and able to make her own choices but can a guy be worried about his special lady?". "You two are dating?! When and how did you two start dating in the first place?!" yelled Karen. "A job well done new me. I would have done the deed with her but I know that ..." said Darren. Shawn grabbed his head in pain and the girl said,"Let me take a guess. They found out.". "You really don't want to hear them bickering." said Shawn.

Shawn had convinced the two to stop and he said,"So when do you want to tell people about us? It is your choice because I just want to spend time with you.". "You need to know that those super cheesy romance novels won't do anything on me. I think we should wait for the rumors to die about you so a while." said Alexis. "You got a point there Alexis and also your fans wouldn't be happy about hearing the Obelisk Queen being taken by the Dragon." said Shawn who did a fake roar.

Alexis said,"So are you thinking about leaving the dorm?". "Yeah. I was thinking of taking with the Chancellor about transferring me over to Slifer. I know that it's a downgrade but I think Chumley and Syrus need a confidence boost since Nick is moving to the Ra Dorm soon." said Shawn. "I know that you will be a good friend for them. So do you hate Jasmine for leading up the cause to kick you out of school?" said the blonde. "She doesn't bother me but her and Mindy, a different story." said Shawn.

He was about to get up and Alexis said,"Do you want to just leave me here?". "You know that I don't but you know that Miss Fontaine hates when one of us are late mainly in my case. She tends to hate weird things.." said Shawn. Alexis then caught him from fallen with her saying,"You know that your duel with him causing your right leg to be burned badly. So let me help okay big guy.". "Sure thing Lex." said Shawn. The two went back to the dorm with the sun heading toward the top of the sky.

Chapter 6: Start of Family Issues.
Narrator P.O.V.
It was really bright and early with it being so early that only a few people were up and moving at this time. Zane Truesdale or his moniker Kaiser was one such person. He was standing by the lighthouse and he was just looking at the ocean in front of him. He was then joined by a person that he really considered to be a friend. "Hey Zane?" said a female voice. He didn't need to turn around because he knew that it was Alexis Rhodes aka the Obelisk Queen.

He knew about her dating the top freshman male Shawn Alvarez. He had been impressed that she was Maria's adopted young brother. It also help him learning about how good of a duelist that he is with him tending to use dragons. spellcasters, and warriors in duels. He was going to keep his mouth shut until they started to show their love more but he was happy for her. She reminded him too much of her older brother Atticus and it made him miss his other friend but he sure didn't show it.

Zane sighed,"What do you want?". "I heard that you just go back from America right? I guessing that you didn't get what you wanted right?" said Alexis. "I did get in some duels with a good chunk being wins but that's it. You must be in a good mood." said Zane. "You know that I thought you would be happy since your little brother is here now." said Alexis. "He doesn't belong here just like when we were little." said Zane.

Meanwhile, a truck brimming with soldiers was being pulled up to the Girls Dorm and it was a loud drive. Miss Fontaine woke up and she said,"Who is that?". She looked out the window to see the men in uniforms that had the same feeling of their uniforms heading up the steps silently and she said,"So why are the Disciplinary Action Squad here? I hope that one of my girls didn't do anything wrong but they are going to Shawn's room. They only show up if a student is in serious trouble.".

In Shawn's room, he was sleeping the morning away since it was a free day and beside spending time with his secret girlfriend and his friends, he could finally sleep. Life however didn't want him to at all relax because a loud and powerful knock woke him up. "Open this door right now or we will break it now!" yelled a female but strict voice. Shawn yawned and he said,"Hold on. I told you at least seven times now that I'm not into pilates and your army won't make me change my mind.".

The female voice said,"We're the Disciplinary Action Squad Army!". "I know that my English is a little rushy after being asleep for longer than you count Shawn but doesn't Army and Squad mean the same thing?" said Darren who wasn't a fan of being woken up as well. "It does so what are they doing here in the first place." said Shawn. "You could open the door and find out also you should put on a shirt." said Karen. "I got you." said Shawn.

He put on a navy blue sleep shirt and he opened up the door. He saw several people in dark uniforms standing there with one of them aka the woman looking him over. "Are you Shawn Alvarez? Obelisk Blue First Year?". "Yeah. Don't wear the name out. So what do you want? I mean it is not even seven in the morning and today is a freaking day off." said Shawn who yawned lightly. "You're under arrest for..." said the woman.

Shawn said,"For what?! You do know that I live here right? I think my room was trashed by someone but who? You should focus on the person who trashed my room.". She then grabbed his arm and she said,"You are resisting arrested. Please come with me and put on some dam clothes!". "Okay. You're no fun." said Shawn. He put on the uniform as he followed them. He ignored the stars from the other girls while following the army and he thought,'This is going to be a long day.'.

He then followed the army across the island and into the main building. He was told by the harsh woman to wait in a room. He found a chair and he sat there. He pulled out his deck and he messed with it to kill time. After fixing it a little, he saw that he was in a large and somewhat circular room with five or six giant TV screens with them lighting up and each one having a person on them. He did know three of them well.

It was his headmaster Doctor Crowler who wasn't happy about being woken up, Chancellor Sheppard who had a smile on his face, and that woman from earlier. They were talking to him and Shawn said after a few minutes,"So I am going to be suspended?!". "That is what I'm saying. You did trespassed into the Abandoned Dorm. It is forbidden to go in there and we got a letter from a student who backs up this claims. You need to be punished to be make an example." said the woman.     

Darren said,"He isn't a religious figure woman. So isn't it obvious who sent the letter to her and her cronies? I mean she tried to do once before.". "Beside for the doctor who is a man, look at his face beloved. I bet he was planning to do it but someone beat him to the punch. We need to find out who did this to you and give them revenge." said Karen. "I know that Karen is supposed to be good but I sometimes wondered if you're the evil one." said Shawn who sighed in his head.  

Crowler said,"I think that makes us look harsh. We should do something a little more sporting.". "So was I. I was thinking something that isn't Tennis at all. Maybe something like Dodgeball or Beach Volleyball." said Shawn. "That isn't it at all boy. It is a duel with 8000 life points. If you win, you are free to go with no other consequences but if you lose, I am thinking that expelling you will be good enough for you." said Crowler. "That sounds good to me." said Shawn.

Sheppard said,"Very well then. I think I will arrange an opponent.". "Actually Chancellor, I think that since Shawn is an Obelisk Blue. I do think I should handle finding his opponent." said Crowler who had a creepy smile on his face. "I don't trust this guy Shawn." said Darren. "You usually trust no one honey. I think this is a perfect chance to test out those cards from those two to say the least Shawn." said Karen. "Good luck with that teach." said Shawn.

Sheppard said,"That is a good no great idea. You do have three days to prepare and I plan to make it an event. Good luck Shawn. After this, meet me in my office.". The screens then turned off in unison and Shawn said,"So do you two know how to get his office?". "I thought that you would know this place by now." said Darren. "He got a tour but Shawn tends to forget things despite him having eidetic memory but he is forgetful and really bad with directions." said Karen.

Later, Chumley was going to the Chancellor's office. He heard about the conditions that Shawn was in which spread across the campus like wildfire. "You wanted to see me Chumley?" said the man who looked at the larger and older Silfer. The Chancellor was at his desk and he said,"Listen. I...I was at the Abandoned Dorm as well! I should be in the same boat as Shawn!". "No! It should be me." said a calmer voice. "Nah! I want to duel with Shawn!" said a hyper voice.

Chumley turned around to see Alexis, Julie, and Nick standing there. Syrus was sleeping at the dorm since he tends not to get a good night sleep thanks to a certain Slifer soon to be Ra. The automatic door closed right behind them as both Chumley and Sheppard didn't expect to see the girls with the Slifer having a small feeling that Nick was going to show up. It was his version of the Duel Sense that Shawn always talked about but his was the Sandwich Sense mainly with Grilled Cheese.

Alexis said,"It was my fault that he was there to begin with.". "No way! I dragged him there! I also brought Chum and Sy too! I should be the one who has to duel!" said Nick. "No you guys. I dragged them to the dorm but even with Alexis and Julie trying to stop me, I just couldn't resist checking out the... Abandoned Cafeteria." said Chumley. "Chumley. Let me at least be Shawn's partner for the duel at the least." said Alexis.

Sheppard couldn't stop himself from cracking a smile despite the serious situation in front of him. He knew that for the first time in the young man's life, he had some good friends despite his past. "I am sorry but the decision is fine. Shawn will be just fine. He did score the highest score only beating the student Bastion by a few points." said Shepard. The four students looked at each other and they said in unison,"Yes Chancellor.".

The four then left the room as Sheppard looked at his computer. He did know that Shawn was quite a duelist despite his background but knowing Crowler, this duel was going to be a hard one. He sighed as he thought,'I do wonder what is taking him so long.'. Meanwhile with Shawn.  "God dam it! I am in hell! These two girls are so freaking annoying! Can I please murder them Shawn? I can hide their bodies and I know for a fact that no one will miss them." said Darren.

Mindy said to Shawn,"We're like totally sorry! We thought that you were like some creepy as hell pervert!". She was walking alongside Shawn merrily with him hoping that Alexis wasn't jealous of this little thing. He had no idea to get his office and him running into the tier two hotties along with being Alexis's best friends Jasmine and Mindy. He wasn't happy about this and he was keeping Darren from killing them. He was tempted though.

Jasmine ,who had taken the opposite side of Shawn to indeed trap him in, said,"Yeah! I mean you can't like explicitly blame us for the rumors can you? I mean you supposedly took Rena's honor only to dump her from your like sick pleasure!". Shawn stopped in his tracks and he said with anger in his voice,"What. Who? No. What? Wait. Honor?!". "I do think that she is a girl with a lot of honor to say the least. She is way richer than you." said Karen.

Mindy ,who didn't want Shawn to be bursting a blood vessel, said,"You know that like it was just one of the many rumors surrounding you. I mean one was about you being some of like super spy or the one involving you secretly plotting to destroy all of us and...". Jasmine ,who totally hissed at her like a snake would, stopped her for making things a lot worse and she said,"Mindy! I think that's enough right?".

Shawn thought,'I guess this is the prime of my youth. I mean I have more rumors than cards in my card trunk and that's saying a lot.'. He was also extremely tired of these girls and he wondered how the love of his life dealt with them for this long. "So do you two know who started the rumors in the first place?" said Shawn. "Well the number one guess is Doctor Crowler...." said Mindy. She was rambling on as Darren said,"I think that strange man couldn't do this.".

Mindy said,"We did heard about this one guy who calls himself the Rumor King. He is the one who is like spreading the rumors for like sure.". 'Note to self, I should find out more about this Rumor King. I got a strong as hell feeling that he is the one who ratted me out.' thought Shawn. Jasmine said to him and it broke him out of his concentration,"Hey!". Shawn said,"You know that I am right next to you right?".  

She then put her hands on her hips and she stopped right in front of Shawn. "You know that we're like really sorry. If you aren't going to forgive us then just tell us. We're too important to waste our time on you." said Jasmine. "Okay. I do want you to stop. I think I can find my way there. Don't worry at all. I do think that you two aren't more annoying that hot. There is a girl who stole my heart and she is way hotter and smarter than you." said Shawn.

He walked out and Darren said,"Nice job Shawn. That beats killing them but not much.". "I don't think that was really needed Bart. I mean we could have just told them nicely. Pissing off your girlfriend's friends isn't a good start." said Karen. "I know for a fact that they weren't going to stop talking. I mean those two mostly like share the same brain. I do need to get the Chancellor's Office. I'm late enough." said Shawn in his head.

He stopped in front of the door which went opened upon stopping. He saw Sheppard standing there with a smile and he said,"So what took you so long?". "I got lost and I ran into the girl version of Tweedle-Dee and Tweedle-Dum." said Shawn. "I see. Did you know that your friends came here to try and convince me to let me join you in your punishment?" said Sheppard. "Ah." said Shawn. "I thought that you would be happy." said Sheppard.

Shawn said,"Let just say that I got a lot of preparing for my duel because Crowler is planning to get me a pro and I think that my current deck needs some work left.". "Thanks to your master's good and very rich friend, your room in the Slifer Dorm is going to be done after your duel. So do you mind staying with Chumley Huffington and Syrus Truesdale?" said Sheppard. "Sure. I like them and I only need my card trunk, duel disk, and deck plus my uniform to be fine." said Shawn.

Sheppard said,"So to change subjects, you must have found something in the dorm right?". "Yes. Two people by the name of Jester and Titan try to take me and Nick to the "Shadow Realm" but it turned out to be a fake with the help of fog machines. Nick and his crew found a picture with Atticus Rhodes aka Alexis's big brother, Maria, and Master plus some of the other students who went missing. That is all I got for now." said Shawn.

Sheppard said,"So how are you doing? I mean you have several nicknames for you and also the fact that your family is....". "Don't. I know that I will be fine in Slifer Red. I learned how to be a great duelist with me coming here to find my master and my adopted sister but I learn that this school and my friends are way more important than a silly rank. "Lets get you a uniform." said Sheppard. "Sweet teach." said Shawn.

Shawn Alvarez is actually known as Bartholomew Thomas Reynolds who is the third and adopted son of the very extremely rich company Reynolds Enterprise. They are known for being the rivals to every financial group ever and they're taking over the world. Shawn's uncle and his wife took him from his family when the man figured out that his mother and father were going to throw him out to the streets since they have two way more successful siblings. That's all you are getting for now.

Syrus said,"So what did he say you guys?". He was in their dorm room and Chumley along with Nick looked at him,"Please tell me that Alexis, Nick, or Julie are going to be his partner right? I mean he is going to be expelled if he duels by himself.". "We tried Sy. I mean I lied to him and said that I was the one who lead you guys to the dorm." said Chumley. "You weren't wrong about leading us to the cafeteria despite not having any food there." said Nick.

He was sitting at the desk and Syrus said,"Why are you so calm Nick? I mean Shawn is going to lose if he doesn't have a partner.". "I think that Shawn will be fine and a perfect Slifer." said Nick. "Yeah. I heard that rumor from my P.D.A. I have no idea about how he got the information but the guy known as the Rumor King is good at his job. So how do you guys know?" said Syrus. "That Ra told us." said Chumley.

Nick said,"It was Bastion Sy.". "Ah." said Syrus. He then thought of what happened when he saw his big brother at his academy for the very first time and right before the Kaiser left for America. "Hey Brother!" said Syrus. Zane turned around to him and the smaller one said,"Starting today, I am a student at Duel Academy, too. I entered the school to become a duelist.". "Really Syrus? Why did you have this one?" said Zane. "Huh?" said Syrus.

Zane said,"I saw you in the exams. You could have crushed your proctor with those machine but you didn't. You're too soft and it is a brutal world and you're not for it.". He was walking away and he said while doing this,"Kindness is a handicap in this world. You know something, I shouldn't have taught you how to duel to begin with.". He walked away and Syrus stood there. "Hey Syrus. You alright?" said Nick.

Chumley was eating by the way and Nick said,"Hey you totally conked out there for a minute there buddy.". "Hey Nick. Duel me." said Syrus. "Huh? Why bro?" said Nick. "You are leaving to the Ra Dorm since they finally have a room now. Iam going to make your last duel in Slifer Red awesome for sure." said Syrus. "Sweet. Meet me down in the cove nearby the dorm!" said Nick. He ran out of the room as Syrus said,"I'm going to be a strong duelist but getting rid of my kindness.".

"I'm so sorry Shawn." said Julie. Julie had come back to the Girls dorm and went to her friend's room with Alexis along with Clara. He was currently packing up his room and he was now wearing his Silfer Red Uniform. It was a jacket that extends down to his waist with a band that matches the color of the jacket at the cuff of the arms. Said jacket had a white band around the shoulders that has a snap or button to keep the jacket close and another band had matching color of the jacket to keep it close.

He however keep his jacket open showing off his navy blue under shirt with him wearing dark blue jeans, belt, and his tennis shoes from Chapter One. It had a white decorative shape with a darker red border on the chest of the jacket if he closed. Julie said,"We tried to at least get a tag duel at the very least.". "A tag duel? Why did you do that?" said Shawn. He was then sitting on his bed that looked normal working on his deck and he then stopped to look at them.

Clara said,"Both Alexis and Julie blame themselves for doing it.". "But don't you ladies forget. You girls wanted to stop me and the boys for going there remember? If me and Nick's heroism are given no time to shine, this is just another test to show off what I learn here at the Duel Academy. So bring it on." said Shawn. "Shawn. You know that Crowler is arranging it right? He isn't going to make this easy for you." said Alexis.

Shawn smirked as he said,"Well Lex. I have to make sure that I win because I don't want you to cry your hazel eyes out. I do love your new uniform by the way. I'm going to check on my new roommate aka Syrus.". He left the dorm with his duel disk and card trunk. "He is like Nick. He can't resist at all strong opponent when he gets one." said Julie. "He isn't realizing that he left me behind again." said Alexis under her breath.

Clara said,"What did you say Alexis?". "I mean, leave Duel Academy behind! Yeah, that's it! He will not be able to became a famous duelist!" said Alexis. "Anyway, He means a lot to you and I want to beat him. I think he needs help for the duel." said Clara. "Really?" said Alexis. "I mean he is really good after seeing him win against Rena. He is really good and a really nice guy." said Julie. "Oh. Lets go then." said Alexis.

Shawn ran out to the Slifer Dorm even with the heavy looking trunk on his back. He saw Chumley and he was looking over the edge of the cliff. "You. What's up Koala man!" said Shawn. Chumley turned around and he said,"Oh hey roomie. You look good.". "Hey thanks man. So are we getting a new boat or what?" said Shawn. "No. Nick and Syrus are going to duel though." said Chumley. "Cool beans." said Shawn who sat on his trunk.

Chumley said to the two below them,"Okay guys. This is just a friendly duel so have funny!". The two then noticed that Nick had a huge smile on his face with Syrus looking extremely serious. "From what I've seen, I don't think that Nick knows how to go easy." said Shawn. "That's a good thing." said a voice. Chumley jumped and he turned to see Alexis, Julie, and Clara walking to them. "What do you mean by that Clara?" said Chumley.

Clara said,"I think neither of them is going to go easy on each other.". "Ah. That makes a lot of sense with this being his last duel in Slifer right? I mean I need you guys to go hard on me because Crowler is going to get me a hard opponent and I need to be powered up." said Shawn. "You do know that we are dueling after them right?" said Alexis. "And I'll be dueling you tomorrow!" said Julie. "I don't think none of us won't you leave." said Clara. "I'm touched." said Shawn.

"Okay Sy. Get your game on bro and let's have fun!" said Nick who had inserted his deck and waved to Syrus. "Yeah. This is going to be fun. I hope you think differently after this duel Nick." said Syrus who said the last part under his breath. "Huh?" said Nick. "Oh nothing!" said Syrus. "Then, get your game on!" said Nick. "Yeah. Lets duel." said Syrus. Nick drew his hand and he said,"Here I come Sy and it is going to be great!".

He looked at his hand with a recently drawn card and he thought,'Awesome.'. "I now first summon Elemental Hero Lady Heat in defense mode!" said Nick. The blonde warrior who stood there in white and red armor with a red and orange skirt appeared (4/1300/1000). "I now place down a face down but her special effect activates. You take 200 points of damage for every Elemental Hero on my field. It's going to hurt." said Nick. The small fireball hit Syrus.

Nick: 4000 Life Points.
Syrus: 3800 Life Points. 

Syrus drew a card and he said,"Let's see.". He looked at the card that he just drew and he smiled. 'I've this! I can destroy that monster with my Patroid.' thought Syrus. "So did you draw a good card? That smile means something." said Nick. "Yeah. I now summon Patroid in attack mode!" said Syrus. When placing the card down, a strange monster. "Wow. That's a strange one to say the very least you guys. I mean wow." said Shawn.

It looked like a car from Who Framed Roger Rabbit? stood there with huge eyes and a police hat on its roof, its wheels sticking out like arms and legs. (4/1200/1200). "I now play the combination of the equip spell card Fairy Meteor Crush and quick play spell card Rush Recklessly!" said Syrus. The car gained more power. (4/1200-1900/1200). "Now, attack with Siren Smasher!" said Syrus. Patroid zoomed to the hero with its siren blasting and flashing out its red light, right straight at the fire girl.

It destroy the girl causing Nick some damage. "Man! That was an awesome move!" said Nick who was happy. "Wow. Syrus made a pretty awesome move. I still can't believe it." said Chumley. "I hope Syrus is alright." said Shawn. "Huh?" said the girls. "I end my turn with a face down." said Syrus as the monster's attack return back to normal. (4/1900-1200/1200). "To start my turn, I now play my sweet face down! Hero Signal!" said Nick after drawing a card.

Nick: 3100 Life Points.
Syrus: 3800 Life Points. 

The signal appeared in the skies and Nick said,"This trap allows me to special summon a Elemental Hero from my deck and I pick Elemental Hero Stratos!". The metal winged hero stood there and Nick said,"I now activate his special effect! I add a hero to my hand!". (4/1800/300). He added another card to his hand and Nick said,"I summon Elemental Hero Sparkman in attack mode!'. The lightning bolt themed hero stood there and he posed. (4/1600/1400).

Nick: 3100 Life Points.
Syrus: 3800 Life Points. 

Nick said,"I now attack with Sparkman!". Syrus watched as his monster was destroyed by a ball of thunder and it hit the card directly in the middle. Upon being exploded, it made a sad siren. "And now attack Stratos! Attack him directly! Twister Smack!" said Nick. The pressured wind went toward the boy who said,"I activate my face down! Return Ticket! I can special summon the same monster from my deck.". The car return only to be destroy once again.

Nick: 3100 Life Points.
Syrus: 2800 Life Points. 

Clara said,"That was a good move. He saved a lot of life points doing that.". "At the cost of one of his monster and his special effect could have been helpful." said Julie. "I end my turn with a pretty sweet face down and that's my turn!" said Nick. Syrus looked scared upon seeing the drawn card and he said,"Why this card?". It was Power Bond which is a card that Zane gave him and if you seen the anime, you know why.

Alexis saw this expression change and she said,"You can win Syrus! You just have to found Nick's super obvious weakness. I really wish I was kidding about that.". "Hey!" said Nick. "She is so right little buddy. We know that you got a lot of tricks in that deck and show us machine power already! I mean you can do it," said Shawn. Julie said,"Yeah, they are right. Don't give up the duel just because of a bad card.".

Chumley said,"I mean, duh! That is the first thing that they teach you in Freshman Dueling! I should know this because I took it twice!". "So what year are you in man?" said Clara. "This is for making his last duel in Slifer Red and I need to prove it!" said Syrus. Nick smiled and Syrus said under his breath,"And also to prove it to Zane.". Shawn caught it with his enhanced hearing despite the waves crashing into the rocks.

"Come on Syrus, you got this." said Alexis over the wave. "Yeah, you got this Syrus!" said Chumley who didn't add the word duh. "You're a good duelist so show it." said Shawn. "You know that you two are pretty good with words of encouragement." said Clara. "Thanks." said Shawn who smiled while the other Slifer smiled a little bit. "Thanks. I got lots of books on self-esteem and self-confidence. For some reason, my dad gets them for me." said Chumley.

Julie said,"Yeah. I wonder why. Well, he isn't scared anymore.". "Yeah but this Zane guy is prevented him from using his true dueling power." said Karen. "Indeed." said Darren. Syrus drew a card and he said,"I first play Card of Sanctity!". He drew four cards as Nick drew two cards. "Hey! Thanks for the sweet card bud!" said Nick. "I play the spell Polymerization! I fuse Rescueroid and Ambulanceroid to fusion summon Ambulance Rescueroid!" said Syrus.

The cartoon ambulance and the cartoon light blue truck (I have no idea about what car that is) fused together to make a cartoon fire truck. (6/2300/1800). "Sweet! What's next?!" said Nick. "I play the spell card Double Attack. By sending Armoroid to my graveyard, I can now attack twice. Time for my Firehouse Smash!" said Syrus. The two heroes heard a firetruck sound effect only to be smashed by the truck causing Nick to landed on the ground.

Nick: 1600 Life Points.
Syrus: 2800 Life Points. 

Syrus said,"Had enough yet Nick?". "No way! This duel just get started man and I'm getting fired up to say the least!" said Nick who jumped up. Syrus said,"I end my turn.". Nick drew another card and he said,"Okay. Time to win this duel. I play my own Polymerization! I fuse Elemental Hero Avian and Elemental Hero Burstinatrix in my hand to summon Elemental Hero Flame Wingman!". Two heroes stood there.

One was a heroine in a red bodysuit and the other one was a green winged hero only to fuse together to created the monster with the dragon's head. (6/2100/1200). "I then activate my spell card H-Heated Heart and my monster gets 500 more attack points from it." said Nick. The hero gained a flaming aura around him and Nick smiled. (6/2100-2600/1200). "Man. This isn't going to be good." said Alexis. "Um why?" said the large Slifer.

Julie said,"When Elemental Hero Flame Wingman destroys a monster, the owner of that monster takes damage equal to the destroyed monster's attack points.". "Ouch. This is going to hurt. I did think that Nick was going to lose for the first time." said Chumley. "Yeah." said Clara. "And Sy would have won if he played that card instead." said Shawn. "Huh?" said Alexis who looked at her secret boyfriend.

Nick said,"Okay! Time to show this fire truck a real fire!". The fire burned the truck which exploded in a burst of flame with Nick saying,"Time for his super power!". Syrus was then hit by flames by the hero and he screamed despite it being virtual. "And that's was an awesome duel!" said Nick with him walking over to Syrus. "Thanks Nick. I'm sorry that I didn't make a great duel for you." said Syrus. "I need to help you with that confidence of yours." said Nick.

Nick: 1600 Life Points. Winner!
Syrus: 0 Life Points. 

He stood there and he said,"Before you played Card of Sanctity, what card did you draw by the way man?". Syrus then tried to stop him but he grabbed the card that Zane gave him. "Power Bond? This is sweet man. I mean you would have won if you played the combo that destroy my monster! Never mind that. I would have lost and that is pretty lame." said Nick. "You don't understand Nick. My big brother says that I'm not good enough to play that card and he's right." said Syrus.

Nick said,"Hey Sy...". "I didn't even give you a challenge! I'm a failure of a duelist." said Syrus who started to run away. "Hey! Wait Sy!" said Nick. "Syrus!" yelled Chumley who tried to cut him at the pass. Alexis, Clara, Julie, and Shawn were alone just watching what just happened. The waves hit the rocks as the four walked over to Nick who was looking at the ocean. "He did really good despite his lack of confidence." said Clara.

Nick said,"Yeah. I mean Syrus is a great guy but he doesn't what I see. He has a problem believing in himself and he had this awesome spell card and he didn't play it because of his older brother!". "That sounds like a bad brother to me." said Julie. Alexis looked at him and her eyes widen at what he just said. The Hero duelist noticed this and he said,"Did I say something wrong?". "Yeah. His brother of his goes here and you've heard of him too." said Alexis.

Julie said,"Not me.". "Yeah." said Nick. "I do because he is pretty famous in the Obelisk Dorm." said Clara. "Hello? Earth to Nick, Third year Obelisk Blue student and the best duelist in the school? He is the Kaiser, the big man on campus! Zane! He is good as his rep maybe even better!" said Alexis. "I heard of him. He told me about Maria going missing two years ago. Heck, my sister said that he was the best freshman in both class and dueling but not personality." said Shawn.

Alexis thought,'I wondered why Zane had such high hopes for him.'. "Well Alexis. He doesn't sound like a good brother to me. I wonder what happened to them." said Nick. "I could be wrong about this Shawn but Nick is going to duel him." said Karen. "Aye." said Shawn in his head.  "Nick, don't pry. It is their problem." said Alexis. Nick grinned and punched his open palm. "Don't worry. I'm not going to pry and I am going to duel him and find out why!" said Nick.

Alexis said,"Nick, you're not listening! No one duels Zane!". "Isn't he like imperceptible?" said Julie who was lost. "People duel Zane if their friend isn't playing up to snuff because of him and I want to see how I stack up against the number one duelist in the school." said Nick. 'He is stubborn just like Shawn is when he is hungry or in a duel. I guess you just have to learn it the hard way.' thought Alexis who sighed.

Alexis said,"You know what. Good luck then Nick.". "I'm guessing that Nick drained her. Take note of this young one." said Darren. "Get ready and watch yourself Zane! You're going down!" said Nick who had his fist into the air before running off. "I should go after him." said Julie. She ran after him and Shawn said,"I hope that Nick finds what he is currently looking for.". "You do know that you got something to worry about. Remember our duel?" said Alexis.

She strapped on her duel disk and Shawn said,"Of course. I mean I will be winning again so this will be a good warm up.". "You know that pissing me off is a bad thing." said Alexis. "I really don't think Shawn knows when to close his mouth." said Clara. "You're so harsh Clara. Okay. It is time to power up!" said Shawn who activated his duel disk. They drew their starting hands and Alexis said,"I will go first.". "I guess the expression ladies first applies here." said Shawn.

Alexis: 4000 Life Points.
Shawn: 4000 Life Points.

She drew a card and she said,"I summon Etoile Cyber in attack mode!". The ballerina from their first duel appeared on the field. (4/1200/1600). "I end my turn with two face downs." said Alice. The cards appeared behind the woman and Shawn said,"You know that decks needs to evolve to grow right? I mean you're starting with the same monster from the last duel. I guess I should follow suit not!". He drew a card and he looked at his hand.

Shawn said,"I guess she must be a pretty good dancer so lets test that theory.  I summon Dragon Rocker in attack mode!". A bolt of lightning appeared from the sky and a dragon like human stood there. He had long green flaming hair and glowing gold eyes that look like they were on lightning, his body had dark green scales with little lightning bolts on some of them, and started to played his matching guitar that ended with a lightning ring on the ground. (4/2000/1600).

Shawn said,"Like him?". Alexis said,"Yeah for me Shawn!". "Huh?" said Shawn. "You summoning a monster activates my trap card A Rival Appears!" said Alexis. One of her cards then went up as it showed two little girl wizards fighting each other. "It allows me to special summon one monster from the same level as your dragon monster." said Alexis. "Cool beans. He is level four by the way, I now play the quick play spell card Reload!" said Shawn.

He then reshuffled his four cards into his desk and drew four more. "I then place my Blade Skater in defense mode." said Alexis. The bald skater appeared defending herself. (4/1400/1500). "So why did you do that?" said Alexis. "Because my dear Lex, it activates my dragon's special ability." said Shawn as Clara noticed that the lightning circle around the hero went into the guitar. It glowed yellow along with strumming his guitar.

Shawn said,"Since you played a card and then I played one, my monster gains 300 attack points for each card played.". (4/2000-2600/1600). "I attack Etoile Cyber with Shocking Thunder Strum! Shock her how to rock!" said Shawn. The musician then started playing his guitar and once he finished up his solo, a lightning dragon spirit appeared from the guitar and it dove right for the ballerina. Alexis said,"I activate Doble Passe! Your attack goes right to me instead!".

The lightning hit her causing her to be shocked. "Ouch. That looked painful." said Clara. "You know why I did Shawn and my ballerina gains 600 attack points." said Alexis. (4/1200-1800/1600). "Son of a..." said Shawn who was stopped upon the ballerina kicking him directly in the stomach. "That one too!" said Clara. "You know something Lex. You're really good at dishing out the pain." said Shawn who was wheezing.

Alexis: 1400 Life Points.
Shawn: 2200 Life Points.

Alexis said,"You do know that flattery won't win you this duel but thanks.". "Sweet. I play two cards face down and end my turn." said Shawn who recovered. Both Dragon Rocker and Etoile Cyber's attack points went back to their original value with the turn ending as well. (Dragon Rocker: 4/2600-2000/1600). (Etoile Cyber: 4/1800-1200/1600). "That was a good move. I'm going to do way better than you though." said the Obelisk.

She drew a card and she said,"I summon Cyber Tutu in attack mode!". A little red haired ballerina stood there in a red and white leotard with a white tutu. (3/1000/1000). "Wow Alexis. You have some cute monsters but those fairies of yours Clara." said Shawn. Cyber Tutu blushed at the comment and she waved back. "I now play Polymerization to fuse my monster to summon Cyber Blader in attack mode!" said Alexis.

Blade Skater and Etoile Cyber danced around the field with them fusing together by jumping into each other with Alexis's star appearing. (6/2100/800). "And to make sure nothing happens, I then play Allegro Toile to destroy your face down while Cyber Blader destroys your dragon!" said Alexis. The blader skated across the field and then she fired a arrow at the right face down. It was Scrap Iron Scarecrow.

Shawn saw his card destroyed and he said,"This is going to hurt buddy.". The dragon took the attack as the warrior slashed the guitar and then him. As her fusion return back to her field, Alexis said,"I now attack you directly! Pounding Pirouette!". The small ballerina hit Shawn with a pirouette kick ready to Shawn's face. "Why do the women in my life hurt so much?!" said Shawn which made the girls and the female monsters laugh at his pain.

Alexis: 1400 Life Points.
Shawn: 1100 Life Points.

Alexis said as she tried to stop her laughing,"Sorry Shawn but this is a duel and I really don't want you to leave. It's your turn by the way.". Shawn noticed this and he said,"Lex. I won't be leaving you at all. This school is like my second home. I draw!". He looked at the card and he said,"I play the spell Foolish Burial. I will send my Shadow Wizard from my deck to the grave.". He placed her in the graveyard as he then reshuffled his deck.

Shawn said,"I play the spell Earthquake! Time for those girls to take a bow!". The ground shook as the two ballerinas went to their knees. "I now summon Light Wizard and also allows me to special summon my Shadow Wizard from my grave!" said Shawn. Helen stood there with her waving and her sister Gloria stood there. (Light Wizard: 4/1600/1600). (Shadow Wizard: 4/1600/1600). "You know that they can't do anything to my ballerina." said Alexis. (Cyber Blader: 6/2100-4200/800).

Helen said,"Let me pull out her hair! I don't care if she is your girlfriend!". "Sometimes Helen. Can you show her why you summoned us?" said Gloria. "I activate my face down!" said Shawn. Alexis and Clara saw that it showed Light Wizard and Shadow Wizard breaking though the gates of a magic library with Shawn said,"This spell is known as Rush through the Doors! You only have defense position monster on your field, my level four or lower monster can attack directly!".

Alexis said,"You can't be serious?". "I don't joke when it comes to dueling." said Shawn. The two girls then blasted her with their respective magic as Shawn said,"And that is my show folks. We do play at birthday parties!". "Wow. You can adapt pretty well Shawn but I noticed that your last move left you pretty open. Alexis was lucky not to have anything to stop it." said Clara. "Oh yeah. I totally knew that. I was testing you and you passed." said Shawn.

Alexis: 0 Life Points.
Shawn: 1100 Life Points. Winner!

Alexis said in a sing-song voice, "You know that I tell you that someone would say that!". "Whatever Lex!" said Shawn in the same voice. Clara laughed at their exchange who said,"You two are pretty close, you two know that?". The two blushed a little and they said,"Huh?". "It is obvious to everyone that you are close." said Clara. Alexis and Shawn looked at each other with an inquiring look with the boy said,"Of course we are!".

Alexis said,"Yeah. We are childhood friends.". "Sure and Chumley isn't skinny." said Clara who then flipped her way up. "It's true!" said Shawn to the British girl. "You know that we can't hide it right? I think we should get your trunk into your new room. We do have two days to whip you into shape! Do I make myself clear?" said Alexis. "Sure thing Lex." said Shawn. The two went up to the Slifer Red dorm as the sun set.

Chapter 7: Dueling for Courage and Honor!
Narrator P.O.V.
Nick was currently in the card shop at a table with him filling out a duel request form. "I can't believe that Zane guy. I mean because of him, Syrus can't be able to duel like he could be able too. I mean he should be able to play that sweet card without any fear in mind. That's all going to change." said Nick under his breath. He stopped writing as he thought,'So do you spell Zane with one or two N's? I really hate these duel requests form are a pain...'.

He was unaware of the fact that a certain blond teacher was sulking behind him. "A duel request form?" said Crowler as he grabbed the form and he looked at it. "Let me see you are planning a duel aren't you?" said Crowler. His eyes opened and he said,"You can't be serious right?". "Yes. I am. My friend needs help with his dueling and I want to help!" said Nick who tried to get back the form. The man ripped the form and laughing. Nick figured out that he really didn't like this guy.

"Look man. It isn't you, it is me. I'm sorry but I just can't use you in my deck anymore. I got to make room for another Koala." said Chumley. He was currently sitting on a tree bench despite his weight and he had his deck spread out before him and there was a Des Koala card in hand. He looked at his deck and the card and he nodded. "Yep. Fifteen should be enough." said Chumley. "Fifteen? You do know that there are only two types of Koala monster right?" said a voice.

Chumley looked down to see Shawn looking at him with his arms crossed. "What do you mean? The best animal is Koala!" said Chumley. "You do know that you can have three in a deck right?" said the former Obelisk. "They do even more! Should you be studying your deck for your duel?" said the boy who was looking at his deck. "Yeah. It's taking care of. I am dueling the Chazz Princeton today." said Shawn who smiled.

Chumley said,"What!?". Some of his cards fell off the branch with him trying to get them all but he started to cling on for dear life and hanging upside down from the branch with him looking like one of the koala's that he loved so much. "Hey guys!" said a voice. The two Slifers saw the Ra standing nearby them with Chumley's cards sprinkled over his feet. "Hey Nick. Waddup?" said Chumley who was still holding on.

Nick smiled and he bent down to pick up his friend's cards. He couldn't help himself but laugh and he said,"Hey Chum! There are like a zillion koalas is in here!". "And you need to learn how to count. I mean there are at least twenty right?" said Shawn. "Yeah. Koala's so rule so you want to have a pick up duel against me?" said Chumley. "No thanks. I have my duel today and I am so looking forward to it. Also the fact that your deck can't have three of the same monster!" said Shawn.

Nick hit himself and he said,"A pick up duel? Of course! Why didn't I think of that?! Thanks you guys!". He turned back the way he came and he started to run off. "So where are you going?" said Shawn. "Your former dorm!" yelled Nick. Chumley almost fell off the branch and he said,"Why are you going there?! I mean Shawn used to be one and beside him and the girls, they are jerks.". "I'm going to duel Zane!" said Nick.

"The Zane?! That's even worse than Shawn dueling Chazz!" said Chumley. This time however he did let go of the branch and Shawn just barely dodged being crushed by the heavy Slifer. "Why didn't you catch me?!" said Chumley. "I'm only human!" said Shawn. "You could have held him Shawn." said the girl in his head. "Nah. I better get to my duel. Later and we are going to so work on that deck of yours for sure." said Shawn. He walked away and Chumley recovered from falling.

Shawn walked to the arena where Chazz requested to duel him. He saw that the Obelisk stood there and the strange thing is Alexis and Rena were there. Alexis was wearing an outfit very similar to the normal girls uniform but with a special flare. It was a sleeveless white jacket that goes down to her waist with gray-blue edges and pockets on both side, a sleeveless black tank top, gray-blue finger less gloves with wide cuffs and rectangles cut out over the backs of the hands.

It also had white undersections that covered her wrists. She was wearing a darker blue pleated and less restrictive skirt with a gray-blue lining, and blue boots that looked to be the same design as the other girls except a lighter color. "So what are you girls doing here?" said Shawn. "Chazz invited us here." said Rena. "Yes. I wanted to duel you Alvarez. I think that you being demoted to Slifer Red is stupid." said Chazz.

Shawn said,"Yeah but Slifer Red is pretty awesome. Chumley is a pretty good cook and their kitchen is a decent size. It'll do.". "So are you ready to duel? I really wanted to duel the apprentice of one of dueling's best aka Ryou Reeves before he is kicked out of school." said Chazz who activated his duel disk. "Same here. The Junior Champ is someone that I wanted to duel!" said Shawn. The two drew their starting hands as the two said in unison,"Duel!".

Shawn: 4000 Life Points. 
Chazz: 4000 Life Points.

Shawn said,"Guess I'll go first!". He drew his sixth card and Rena said,"Is the first time that Shawn has gone first in a duel?". "Maybe." said Alexis. Shawn looked at his hand and he said,"This is perfect. I first play the spell card Triple Summon!". A spell card then appeared and it had Alpha the Magnet Warrior, Beta the Magnet Warrior, and Gamma the Magnet Warrior being summoned. "What does that do?" said Chazz.

Shawn said,"Like the card suggests, it's let me summon three time this turn. I first summon Gemini Elf in attack mode!". Two light pillars appeared next to each other with two elves appearing from the beams. The one on the right was wearing a blue dress down to her mid-thighs with the one on her left being a red-head in a purple dress with slits on both sides showing off her legs. (4/1900/900). "Those two girls won't do anything on my monster." said Chazz.

Shawn said,"You know that I still have two summons right? My next one is the Timid Mouse in attack mode!". A mouse stood there and he was wearing a mixture of both a sorcerer/warrior outfit with him also shaking and banjo. (3/1200/800). "He is so cute!" said the girls. The mouse blushed as he said with a Mickey Mouse like voice,"Thanks! You two sure are swell!". "I activate his special effect since I have the twins on my field. I can draw two cards." said Shawn.

He drew two cards and he said,"Perfect. I now summon Deception Wizard in defense mode.". A puff of magic smoke covered the area in the middle of the mouse and twins. Out of the smoke, a faceless wizard stood there with him aiming his magic wand at Chazz and it looked strangely familiar to the three Obelisk. (4/1900/1500). "Why does that monster look familiar?" said Chazz. "A magician never reveals his secrets. I end my turn with one face down your move Chazz." said Shawn.

Chazz drew a card and he said,"I summon Dragonic Warrior in attack mode!". A human stood there wearing armor that is totally based of a dragon. (4/1500/1000). "I'm not done yet! I play the spell card Dragonic Contact! I can special summon a level four or lower dragon from my deck! I special summoned Armored Dragon from my deck!" said Chazz. A spell card glowed as an armored dragon stood there with it roaring. (4/1900/1400).

Alexis said,"This is his true deck right?". "Yeah. The one that he used during the Promotion Exams or in his duel with Nick wasn't his real deck. This is the one that he won the Junior Championship." said Rena. "I'm not done yet Shawn! I play the ritual spell Dragon Unit Ritual!" said Chazz. He sent a card to the grave as the two monster fused together. A giant hybrid of the two then stood there and Chazz said,"Rise! Dragonic Knight in attack mode!". (7/2800/2300).

Chazz said,"Destroy that rodent!". The knight was getting ready to attack with him slashing the beast warrior clean in half causing Shawn to be blown back from the wind. "I already miss it." said Alexis who shed a tear. "Yeah." said Rena. "Don't worry ladies. I play his second effect. He was destroyed in battle but he will still live on. I can special summon a earth attribute monster with 2000 or less attack points from my deck in attack mode. I pick King Leo!" said Shawn.

Shawn: 2400 Life Points. 
Chazz: 4000 Life Points.

A light came from his deck and it was flashed the field with a bright light with blinding Chazz, his dragon, and the two girls. The lion with a golden fur coat appeared with it standing on its hind legs and it was glowing with the crown on its head being the brightest. (4/2000/1500). "His effect activates at the start of my next turn." said Shawn. "Fine. I end my turn with a face down. It's your move now Shawn." said Chazz.

Shawn said,"This duel is one of the best that I ever had Chazz. You truly live up to the rep.". Chazz said,"You're right about that. Hero Boy was good but you are better. I think I should have used this deck on him during our duel. Who knows if he could defeat my dragons?". "Who knows. King Leo's special effect activates at the start of turn. For each card currently in my hand at the start of my turn, you take 400 points of damage. I count three so show him your light bursts!" said Shawn.

Chazz was hit with the pressured light as Shawn drew a card. "I now activate my face down! Beast Call!" said Shawn. A spell card revealed itself showing a ape on a cliff who was roaring with several beasts coming out of the forest. "I can special summon Timid Mouse back to start my move so come on back!" said Shawn. The mouse return on the field with him smiling afterwards. (3/1200/800). "So dam cute!" said the girls.

Shawn: 2400 Life Points. 
Chazz: 2800 Life Points.

Shawn said,"Before I play the secondary effect of Beast Call, I play Timid Mouse's special effect. I can draw two cards!". He added two cards to his hand and Shawn said,"I now play the secondary effect already. Since I now have two beast or beast warriors currently on my field, I can special summon one from my deck at the cost of my monsters. I pick my Mammoth Yeti Tanker, Lord of the Tundra in attack mode!". The card was gone with the lion and mouse leaving with it.

A blizzard came onto the field with the girls shivering. "Man. What is with this cold?" said Reva who shivered. "Mostly likely one of Shawn's monsters." said Alexis. Chazz then saw a monster standing there with its initial appearance who was covered with a mammoth's fur coat but its bulky appearance is obvious to anyone who looks at the monster. (8/3300/1700). "I know that he can't attack on the first turn but I play this equip spell Glacier Club which negates all of its effects!" said Shawn.

The monster held a club made of ice and Shawn said,"I now attack with my yeti! Time for a Tundra Smash!". The monster rushed toward the dragon and it jumped into the air with it slammed the club directly on the dragon's head causing a huge explosion of ice to go through the dragon's body. "I'm going to end my turn with..." said Shawn. Chazz said,"I am going to stop you with this trap! Rewind Time! This trap brings back my dragon and destroy your great ape!".

Shawn: 2400 Life Points. 
Chazz: 2300 Life Points.

A huge portal appeared causing the field to be covered in dust. Chazz smiled only to be shocked as the yeti stood there with the dragon. "How did you?" said Chazz. "By sending Glacier Club to my graveyard, I can negate any trap that effects my ape. His effect would have been able to survive the time wrap as well but I wanted to smash." said Shawn. Chazz was quiet as Shawn said,"I end my turn with two face downs. Your move Chazz.".

Chazz said,"Hey Shawn. Why do you duel?". "Why do I duel? I guess to have fun why?" said Shawn who looked at him. "Chazz. You don't need to do this." said Rena. "I need to do this Re. You know about my family right?" said Chazz. "Hold on. Let's save it until after the duel okay? I mean this duel isn't over at all. Show me what the Junior Champ can do." said Shawn. "You're right Shawn. We have a lot to talk about." said Chazz.

Chazz drew a card and he said,"I play the spell Pot of Greed. You know what that card does right? I mean who doesn't?". Shawn shrugged his hands as Chazz drew two cards. "Good. I play the field spell Dragons Domain!". The arena changed into a battlefield with holographic dragons flying around the battlefield and also the light purple sky. "Once per turn, we are able to special summon a level six or lower dragon type monster from our deck and dragons gain 1000 attack points!" said Chazz.

Shawn saw Chazz's dragon grow even stronger and Chazz said,"Oh. Did I forget to mention that all other monsters lose 1000 attack points?". (7/2800-3800/2300). Shawn saw his twins, wizard, and ape like monster getting weaker thanks to a light green aura around the three monsters who weren't happy about losing. (Gemini Elf: 4/1900-900/900). (Deception Wizard: 4/1900-900/1500). (Mammoth Yeti Tanker: 8/3300-2300/1700). "This is going to hurt." said Alexis.

Chazz said,"I special summon Blackland Fire Dragon in attack mode!". A green dragon stood there and it roared upon growing in strength. (4/1500-2500/800). "I now attack your Elf and Ape with my dragons!" said Chazz. The two dragons were about to destroy them and Shawn said,"I send Kuriboh to my grave so I don't take any damage!". He sent the beast to the grave with the twins and ape going with him. "You're good Shawn. I end my turn with a face down." said Chazz who ended his turn.

Shawn drew a card and he said,"What do you mean?". "Most duelists here see their cards as tools for battle but a duelist fight with their strength and their heart. I know that you are a duelist who can see Duel Monster Spirits." said Chazz. "What do you mean?" said Shawn. "Defeat me and find out." said Chazz. Shawn said,"I activate my Mammoth Yeti Tanker's special effect. Since you destroyed him, I can special summon his young brother Rapid Bigfoot Mercenary, Protector of the Jungle.".

A huge bundle of leaves appeared as a much thinner ape stood there holding two tree trunks which look like makeshift nunchucks, it looked like it belong in a forest with its emerald green fur and superhero mask, and it was effected by Chazz's spell. (6/2000-1000/3000). "I know that. I think I should use my Deception Wizard's special effect now." said Shawn. The wizard then glowed as Shawn said,"By sending it to a grave, I can special summon the most beautiful monster!".

A bundle of hearts appeared in the place of Deception Wizard. Chazz said,"Wait. Are you?". "Yep! I special summon Dark Magician Girl!" said Shawn. The heart were gone as a wizard stood there. She was young and adorable with her having long blonde hair and blue eyes with a permanent blush on her face. She was wearing her signature blue magician's hat, robe, and boots with a pink mini skirt and held the small scepter. (6/2000-1000/1700).

Chazz's mouth was open and he said,"You have her?!". "Well, I belong to my Shawn Bear now and he is cute. I was in his duel with that freak with the mask." said the girl who giggled at Chazz's reaction to see her. "Wow. Did you know this Alexis?" said Rena. She saw that her friend clenched her fist at seeing the monster flirting with Shawn. "You do know that she can't defeat either dragon right?" said Chazz.

Shawn said,"I know that Chazz. Deception Wizard can also change himself in the grave into a Dark Magician which gives my witch 300 extra points.". She smiled as she gained more power from her fellow spellcaster. (6/1000-1300/1700). "I play the spell card. Sorceress Summoning!" said Shawn. A spell card appeared with Dark Magician Girl, Gemini Elf, and Mystic Elf appeared. "Since I have a female spellcaster on my field, I can draw cards based of her levels." said Shawn.

He drew six cards from his deck and Shawn said,"I activate the spell's secondary effect. By sending one monster from my hand to the grave, I can special summon a monster from my deck. I pick my Blizzard Princess!". A girl appeared next to Dark Magician Girl who smiled. She was wearing a blue and white sorcerer outfit with her having a giant block of ice attached to it. (8/2800-1800/2100). "I play the spell card Mystical Space Typhoon! Time to get my monster back!" said Shawn.

Chazz saw the whirlwind destroyed his field spell and Rena said,"Chazz didn't have a card to counter Shawn. That isn't surprising at all so wow.". (Dragonic Knight: 7/3800-2800/2300). (Blackland Fire Dragon: 4/2500-1500/800). (Rapid Bigfoot Mercenary: 6/1000-2000/3000). (Dark Magician Girl: 6/1300-2300/1700). (Blizzard Princess: 8/1800-2800/2100). 'Wow. He got rid of my spell. I shouldn't let him win.' thought Chazz. "I now activate my face down card! Dragon's Roar!" said Chazz.

A trap card appeared with a dragon roaring over some knights and Chazz said,"This automatically ends your turn once I send a monster on my field to the grave.". He put Blackland Fire Dragon in the grave as Shawn said,"Nice move. I end my turn with a face down.". "He actually stopped Shawn's assault in its tracks." said Alexis. "Well, Chazz did do his research on both him and his master Ryou's dueling." said Rena.

Chazz drew a card and he smiled. "Drew a good card eh Chazzy?" said Shawn. "Yes. I play the spell Card of Sanctity," said Chazz. He drew four cards as Shawn drew one. "I play the spell card Dragon's Evil Eye! Since I have a dragon on my field, I can destroy one of your face downs!" said Chazz. He looked at the one in the center and he said,"I pick that one.". The dragon glared at the card and it was Mirror Force.

Shawn said,"Oh darn.". "I now attack with my dragon! Destroy that ape!" said Chazz. Shawn got ready to block the attack from the cut in half ape and Shawn said,"His special effect doesn't activate due to the fact that you destroy his older brother.". "I had a feeling about that. I end my turn with three face down cards." said Chazz. Chazz looked at them and he thought,'Ring of Destruction and Ring of Defense. A deadly combo and knowing you, your downfall.'.

Shawn: 1600 Life Points. 
Chazz: 2800 Life Points.

Shawn drew a card and he said,"I activate the face down on my left! You should have destroyed this one Chazz.". A card appeared and it showed Timid Mouse playing his banjo with the girls swooning over it. "This is the spell card Rock Mouse! This spell has three effects based on how the duel is going on. Since I'm losing, I get to add a spell card from my deck to my hand and I get to destroy a card so I pick the face down in the middle." said Shawn.

The card played a note as it went right toward the face down. It was destroyed and Chazz said,"Hey Shawn. Thanks for that. This is my spell Dracogoat. This lets me summon four dragongoat tokens and whenever one of them is destroyed, I don't take any damage.". Four weird dragon and goat hybrids stood there and Darren said,"This duel far beats your encounter with Alexis Shawn or with that fake Shadow Duelist.". (1/0/0) x4.

Karen said,"I think he is also like Nick being that he can see spirits.". "Hey Chazz. Can you see my Dark Magician Girl flirting with me?" said Shawn. "Yeah. I know that you can see spirits. I figure that out during your duel with Rena. So you have a spirit partner?" said Chazz. "Yeah. I love them all so I want to see yours." said Shawn. "Yeah." said Chazz. 'If you can survive this combo that I have for first Shawn.' thought Chazz.

Rena said,"So Alexis, did you know that Shawn could see spirits like Chazz?". "Yeah. I only could see them as of very recently and they share an interesting relationship. So are you and Chazz?" said Alexis. "I don't think so. My dad give me to Shawn. We are childhood friends and Chazz here was scared of me being mad at him. I can be quite scary when I'm angry. I wanted to see one of his duel and I picked the one who I lost. You seriously don't think that they can see spirits right?" said Rena.     
Shawn said,"So you were whipped?". "Yes. She can be quite forceful." said Chazz who sighed. "I so know the feeling. I play the field spell Magicians Domain-Garden Zion!" said Shawn. The field was turned into a garden paradise with giant and small flowers appearing around them with several magic circles appeared everywhere the garden. The sun was in the perfect spot giving this place a natural lighting and it looked extremely beautiful.

Alexis said,"This place is extremely beautiful.". "I would say magical but I don't think that Shawn is done at all." said Rena who crossed her arms. "I now special summon my Cursed Magician in attack mode!" said Shawn. A magician in a dark cloak with chains wrapped around its body stood there in the center of the girls. (4/1500/1600). "Since I summoned a spellcaster, a spell counter is placed and all of my witches and wizards gain 200 attack and defense points." said Shawn.

A flower with a purple magic circle appeared in the ground behind Shawn as the three monsters in front of him stood there glowing purple. (Dark Magician Girl: 6/2300-2500/1700-1900). (Blizzard Princess: 8?2800-3000/2100-2300). (Cursed Magician: 4/1500-1700/1600-1800). "I activate my monster's special effect. Show him your face buddy!" said Shawn. The wizard took off its hood causing the girls to scream. His eyes were sewn shut.

Chazz said,"Dude. What the actually hell?!". "He is sensitive about his appearance Chazz. Once per turn, I get to strike you with 700 points of damage. Dark Fingers Storm!" said Shawn. The wizard hit Chazz with purple beams that came from its fingers. "Time to win this duel. I now send Blizzard Princess and Cursed Magician to summon....!" said Shawn. The two wizards were gone as a thick fog appeared covering the entire garden.

Shawn said,"The powers of magic and science combined. I call to the field Stygian Warlock, Sage of Science and Wizardry!".  The smoke then cleared as a voice said,"I truly bloody hate you right now Bartholomew. It took you this long to summon me.". A wizard stood there and his aura was causing the dragon to literally sweating bullets. He had long dark purple hair that went half way down his back, gold eyes, and dark robes with his magic staff glowing brightly. (12/3600/3200).

Alexis said,"That's one powerful spellcaster.". "Your girlfriend is right about that. I bet if I was under her command, she would have summoned me by now! You're the bloody student of Ryou and he told you to bring me out." said the wizard. "And if I remember right, he told me that I should summon you if I'm in a serious duel Onyx." said Shawn. "Um you two. A duel is going on." said Chazz. "The urchin hair is right." said Onyx.

Shawn said,"Ignoring him. I get another token boosting my spellcasters.". The two grew stronger and Chazz wasn't showing any fear toward Shawn's monsters. (Dark Magician Girl: 6/2500-2700/1900-2100). (Stygian Warlock: 12/3600-3800/3200-3400). "I activate one of many special abilities of my Stygian. He gains 400 attack and defense points for every spell and trap cards that are in play while he is still here. I also can add a spell to my hand." said Shawn.

The wizard put his staff to the ground as he glowed bright gold and silver. The gold aura covered the garden, Chazz's two face downs, and his face down, (12/3800-6200/3400-5800). The sliver aura then covered his deck and Shawn drew a card while adding it to his hand. "I play Double Summon. You know what this card does so I summon Silent Magician LV 4." said Shawn. A little girl stood there and her spiky silver hair stuck out. (4/1000/1000).

A third flower appeared with the three wizards gaining more power from the flower as Shawn said,"I play the spells Level Up and Sage Stone with the former going first. It's time to level up my girl to her more adult form aka the Silent Magician LV 8.". (Dark Magician Girl: 6/2700-2900/2100-2300). (Stygian Warlock: 12/6000-6200/5600-5800). (Silent Magician LV4: 4/1000-1200/1000-1200). The little girl was gone as the more adult version stood there.

Onyx then said,"Hello Babe. What's up?". (8/3500/1000). A fourth flower appeared with them getting stronger. (Dark Magician Girl: 6/2900-3100/2300-2500). (Stygian Warlock: 12/6200-6400/5800-6000). (Silent Magician LV8: 8/3500-3700/1000-1200). "My second spell works if I got my Dark Magician Girl on the field, I can now special summon Dark Magician!" said Shawn. The famous spellcaster appeared and Chazz said,"I can't believe it.". (7/2500/2100).

Rena who admired the monster asked,"Does he sound autographs?" A fifth flower appeared. (Dark Magician Girl: 6/3100-3300/2500-2700). (Stygian Warlock: 12/6400-6600/6000-6200). (Silent Magician LV8: 8/3700-3900/1200-1400). (Dark Magician: 7/2500-2700/2300). "Time to end this duel with a magical finale! Attack!" said Shawn. The four rushed toward the dragon as Chazz said in joy,"Sucker! I play my face down.....".

Shawn said,"Oh I knew about that. You smiled and I play my favorite trap Dust Tornado. Destroy the one on the left.". The wind blew the card up revealing Ring of Destruction and Chazz said,"Oh darn it.". He was hit with the four magicians and Shawn said,"The end!". Rena said,"I did think that my duel was overkill but wow.". "Shawn tends to do that but he was way too risky with Chazz's face downs." said Alexis who glared at her secret boyfriend for two things.

Shawn: 1600 Life Points. Winner! 
Chazz: 0000 Life Points.

It was that last move and Dark Magician Girl flirting with him. Chazz said,Talk Shawn.". "Okay. If you insist." said Shawn who plopped on the ground. The two talked with the girls listening to them with Chazz saying,"Man, I thought that my brothers were bad but your entire family is like them but times a hundred.", "They are. I'm thankful that my aunt and uncle adopted me and I met Alexis plus my master." said Shawn.

Meanwhile, Nick was determined to enter the Obelisk Blue Dorm and fight Zane to hopefully help Syrus with his confidence problem. However, fate wasn't fairing too good for the hero duelist as two Obelisks were in his path. He was pushed to the ground as Nick said,"What's your damage?! I'm just trying to see....". The first of the two Obelisk ,a boy with spiky blond hair, shook his head, "You are just a Ra Reject so get out of here.".

The person to his left ,a boy with short brown hair, nodded, "Yeah. I don't think Zane should waste his time with you. I mean you're still wet behind the ears from Pre-Duel school!". "Am not! I didn't even go to..." said Nick. He was stopped once again by the fact that the first Obelisk emptied out a large bucket of water at him and he was soaked from top to bottom. "Okay. Now you are!" said the Obelisk who couldn't stop laughing. Nick said,"We will duel Zane. I promise.".

Back in the Slifer Dorm, Syrus had currently finished writing a note before making his bed and it did look like someone was still there. 'I'm know that I was never to good enough to be here. Zane was right like always. I am going home and I know that Shawn will win his duel for sure and he will even find his sister and master.' thought Syrus. He left the dorm room not knowing that he was being watched.

Zane was standing by the lighthouse as per normal. This is around the time that Alexis joins her and she was with her secret boyfriend Shawn. "So you two, any trace of them?" said Zane. "He is still gone Zane along with Maria. I have tried looking everywhere for a sign but I always seem to keep coming up empty-handed and it is pissing me off." said Alexis. "I know that you will find him so don't give up. What about you Shawn?" said Zane.

Shawn sat on the ground and he said,"Not a wink of her. So did my sister drive you up a wall like she did to me, the master, and her older brother?". "She did have an interesting personality Shawn." said Zane. "Interesting is saying it lightly. So did Nick duel you yet?" said Shawn. "Nick? That boy who defeated Crowler and that faker right?" said Zane. "Yeah. He isn't happy too you because your name came up in a bad way during a duel between him and your little brother." said Alexis.

Zane sighed as he said while looking out at the water."I guess I'm the big bad brother then? Syrus has always been too nice and it will get him killed in this world. I know that most people in our lives used poor Syrus to get to me so I tried to teach him how to tell people no but I guess that didn't work now did it?". "You know that he wants to duel you right? He has been trying all day to get your attention and...." said Alexis.

Zane said,"An hour. He has an hour to get here. That's all the time that I'm giving him to duel.". "Are you serious?" said Shawn. "He is one of the strongest freshman and I want to see if he is good as his reputation says. Have fun lovebirds." said Zane. He walked away with Shawn then noticing that his girlfriend's hand clenched his and he said,"Did you tell him?". "He has always been more perceptive than others but I can't believe that he found out." said Alexis.

Shawn said,"I'm impressed that he is the only one. I mean we do spend a lot of time with each other and I thought that someone would find out.". "Yeah. So what are you going to do about those second years?" said Alexis. "Tell them that I'm not interested just I did with Jasmine and Mindy. I think Nick will enjoy this message and I better sent this to Chum." said Shawn. He pulled his P.D.A and he sent a message to Chumley and Nick.

Nick was currently drying his hair as he said,"Man. Those Obelisks are jerks.". He pulled his P.D.A and he saw that he had two messages. One was that Zane was ready to duel him in a hour however the other one made him worried. Chumley told him that Syrus had run away. He grabbed his duel disk and deck as he left the Ra Dorm. Julie followed him after seeing him run out of the dorm in such a rush.

The others were looking for Syrus who was already to go. He was hidden thanks to a small bay near the lighthouse with him already making a raft out of logs and he was ready to go. "Good bye Duel Academy. I hope the others do well." said Syrus. Meanwhile. "Hey Sy! Where are you?!" yelled Nick who had stopped at the edge of a small cliff. He heard a soft hooting sound with him looking down at his deck which was glowing like nothing else.

He turned to hear another hooting and he saw Winged Kuriboh floating there. "Oh hey." said Nick who got used to seeing him there. "So tired!" said Chumley who was wheezing. Nick saw the fiend fly up and he said,"Can you find Syrus?". The fiend nodded as he flew off. "Come on you guys!" said Nick. He ran off as Chumley who was tired then crashed into the ground. Julie ran after Nick and Chumley said,"Why do we have to run?".

Back at the docks, Alexis and Shawn saw a small raft floating behind a couple of rocks along with a large tuft of blue hair. "Is that Syrus?" said Alexis. "Maybe. Let me see Alexis." said Shawn. His eyes glowed bright gold as he said,"Yep. He seems to be trying to leave Duel Academy. I wonder why.". "I think Zane was a little too harsh on him." said Alexis. "A little is an understatement. Don't worry at all Both Nick and Zane are going to meet soon." said Shawn.

"Go away Nick!" yelled Syrus. Julie saw Syrus try and push the raft only to be stopped by Nick who jumped on it. It made the raft split down the middle as the two went crashing into the ocean. "That was smooth." said Julie who sweat dropped. Syrus came up and his arms were thrashing about like nothing else. "Help me! I can't swim!" said Syrus. Nick came up and he said,"So you were going to set off into the ocean? Not smart buddy.".

Syrus wrapped his arms around him as Chumley said,"I'm coming you guys!". He then jumped into the water after them as Julie said,"You guys do know that it isn't that serious right?". Chumley opened his eyes to see that he was halfway out and halfway in of the water. He said,"She's right you guys. It is so shallow.". Nick and Syrus rose from the water with them both soaked and gasping for air. "Why did you come after me?" said Syrus who was shivering.

Julie said,"I don't think you should be in the ocean.". "I'm not a good duelist Nick. I mean you should just let me go." said Syrus. "That is your brother talking! You have to believe in yourself!". "No! You are wrong! I have always been a mistake!" yelled Syrus who was crying. "He is right you know." said a cold voice. The four saw Alexis and Shawn with Zane on a nearby path a short ways above them. "Is that Zane?" said Julie and Nick who were looking at the Kaiser of Duel Academy.

Zane ignored the Ra duo and he looked hard at Syrus,"You leaving little brother?". "Well, yeah." said Syrus who answered fast. "Finally." said Zane. He turned away and Syrus felt worse. He made his way over to some logs floating nearby his destroyed raft. "You know that he is wrong Sy." said Nick who heard sniffling from him. Nick glared at Zane and he said,"You are his big brother so what the hell gives you the right to say that?!".

Zane said,"I know him and he is too weak to be here.". Shawn was reminded of his siblings and he sighed. "You sure know everything right? But you are wrong about this! It's time for our duel now Zane!" said Nick. "I guess this is why Obelisk act the way do." said Julie. "Fine. It has been a long time since I have been slumming." said Zane. "Time to get your game on!" said Nick. Syrus was worried about his friend and Nick said,"I'm fired up now.".

The group was watching Nick and Zane getting ready to duel. They were standing on the main dock as Syrus said,"What is Nick doing? Doesn't he know how strong Zane is?". "He is defending you Sy and I will do the same thing." said Shawn. "Are you serious?" said Julie. "Shawn would do anything for his friends and nothing would stop him." said Alexis. "Ah." said Chumley and Zane. "So lets go already Zane!" said Nick who activated his duel disk. "Fine." said Zane.

Zane: 4000 Life Points.
Nick: 4000 Life Points. 

They drew his starting hands and Nick said,"I'll go first!". He drew a card and he looked at Syrus. 'I know that Syrus has problems with his confidence because of Zane so if I show him how to duel, you can duel anyone in your wand and you.' thought Nick. Nick said," I summon Elemental Hero Stratos first!". The metal winged that looked like metal wings warrior stood there and Nick said,"I activate his special effect.". (4/1800/300).

Nick added a card to his hand and it was Elemental Hero Clayman. "I then end my turn with two face downs!" said Nick. He places two cards right in front of Nick. Zane drew a card and he said,"That is sad. I summon Cyber Dragon in attack mode.". A silver metallic dragon appeared on the field with a roar. (5/2100/1600). "How is he able to summon a level five monster on your first turn?!" said Nick who looked at the beast.

Zane held another card in his hand and he said,"I can do it because of your hero boy. I now play the spell Mystical Space Typhoon to destroy one of your face downs cards!". One of the face downs was destroyed by the small breeze. "Destroyed that monster with Strident Blast." said Zane. The dragon fired a blue blast of fire from his mouth which engulfed the hero. "Man. Zane is better than I thought and Nick is going to lose." said Syrus.

Zane: 4000 Life Points.
Nick: 3700 Life Points. 

Nick said,"This duel isn't done yet Sy! I activate the face down that you didn't destroyed! It is time for a Hero Signal. I can summon a level 4 or lower from the deck and I got the perfect man for the job. I special summon Elemental Hero Bubbleman!". The bubble based hero stood there and Nick said,"Since he is the only card on my field, I can draw two cards thanks to his special effect!". He drew two cards and he placed them in his hand.

Zane said,"Fine. I play the spell card Different Dimension Capsule.". A sarcophagus with a clock etched in the center appeared. "I can take a card from my deck and I place it inside of the capsule. In two turns, I can add it to my hand." said Zane. He took a card from his deck and then he placed in his pocket as the capsule sank into the ground. "And I end my turn. Make this turn count Nick because I'm planning to win." said Zane.

Nick drew a card and he thought,'I know that this card is one of the best cards in his deck so I better make this turn count because this guy is better than I thought but I will make sure that Zane sees how bad of his brother he is been to Syrus.". "I play the spell card Bubble Shuffle! This switches my hero and your dragon to defense mode and then I can send my hero to summon an Elemental Hero from my hand!" said Nick. 

The hero went on his knees and his arms crossed with the dragons curling down. "I now sacrifice my bubbleman to summon Elemental Hero Bladedge in attack mode!" said Nick. The golden hero stood there to replace the water hero. (7/2600/1800). "Since I special summoned Bladedge, I can summon my Elemental Hero Sparkman in attack mode!" said Nick. The electric hero stood there and Nick said,"I play the spell H-Heated Heart! I give it to Sparkman!". (4/1600-2100/1400).

The card gave a boost to the hero with Nick saying,"Since Bladedge has the ability to inflict piercing damage if he attacks a monster in defense mode so with the effect of H-Hearted Heart, he gains the same ability. Sparkman, attack Cyber Dragon with Static Shockwave!". The hero fired a burst of lightning from his hand destroyed the dragon from the attack. "Now! It is time for a Slice and Dice Bladedge!". The attack sliced Zane with the blades on his hand.  

Zane: 900 Life Points.
Nick: 3700 Life Points. 

Nick said,"I end my turn by equipping Bladedge with Mist Body so now Bladedge can't be destroyed in battle.". Sparkman lost his power up. (4/2100-1600/1400). "Man. That was so a lischus move. Nick just turned the tables on Zane and taken over 3000 of his life points." said Chumley. "Well. Don't tell Bastion this but I know that Nick is the best Ra hands down." said Julie. Alexis agreed with the two of them and Syrus did as well.

Shawn thought,'Nick may be good but Zane is way better. I don't think I could beat him but hey, who knows for sure?'. Zane drew a card and he said,"That was a good turn Nick but since my field is empty. I can now summon my second Cyber Dragon in attack mode.". The dragon appeared once again and it then roared. (5/2100/1600). "You do know the saying Nick. Two is always better than one so by playing my Monster Reborn. I'll be bring back my dragon in attack mode." said Zane.

The first dragon return and Zane said,"I think you and Shawn know this card pretty well. I play the spell card Polymerization in order to fuse together my dragons to summon the Cyber Twin Dragon in attack mode.". The two dragons fused together in a vortex and out came the dragon but with two heads now. (8/2800/2100). "I play the spell Card of Sanctity. We both can keep drawing until we both have six cards in hand." said Zane.

The two both drew the same amount as Zane said,"I play the equip spell Black Pendant. I give it to my dragon and his points increase by five hundred. Did I mention that my machine can attack twice Nick?". (8/2800-3300/2100). Nick knew that this was going to hurt. "Cyber Twin Dragon, attack Elemental Hero Sparkman and Bladedge with Double Strident Blast." said Zane. The two dragon head fired the beams at the two but Bladedge was safe thanks to Mist Body.

Zane: 900 Life Points.
Nick: 1300 Life Points. 

Zane said,"I end my turn with two face downs.". Two cards appeared in front of Zane as Nick drew a card. "I place two cards face down on the field and I switch my hero to defense mode. I end my turn with that." said Nick. Nick drew a card as the capsule comes up from the ground. "It has been two turns since I activated Different Dimension Capsule so I add the card that I put it it." said Zane as he put the card from his pocket and added it to his hand.

Zane said,"You did good Nick but not good enough.". "Oh yeah? Come on Zaney. I am so ready for anything." said Nick. Zane had a small smile on his face and he said,"You are ready for this aren't you? You did give a me good and fun duel since you know how to be harsh and nice at the same time which Syrus can't do. To be a great duelist, you need to be kind and harsh. You can't be too harsh but you can't be nice.".

Everyone was lost at what Zane was saying but Shawn and Nick saw that Syrus was finally starting to get something. "You're right Zane. You can't be too nice to everyone you meet because people can be jerks. I know this from experience." said Shawn who clenched his fist. Alexis knew that he was talking about his family as Nick said,"Yeah Syrus. Shawn is right about that so watch this move from your big brother.".

Zane nodded as he said,"I play the spell De-Fusion to turn my dragons back to normal. Since Black Pendant is leaving the field, you take five points of damage.". The two dragons appeared as Nick took some damage. (5/2100/1600) x2. "I now play the spell card Power Bond. I can summon a machine type fusion monster. I now fuse the two dragons on my field with the one in my hand to summon my strongest monster known as the Cyber End Dragon." said Zane.

Zane: 900 Life Points.
Nick: 800 Life Points. 

Julie got worried as she saw the three headed Cyber End Dragon spread out his wings as it appeared on the field. (10/4000/2800). "And thanks to Power Bond, my dragon's attack points are doubled and just like your Bladedge. Cyber End Dragon attacks a monster in defense mode when he has higher attack points, he inflicts piercing damage." said Zane. (10/4000-8000/2800). Nick then knew that his dragon would crush his hero and he would lose the duel.

However, he can activate either one of his face downs (Draining Shield or Edge Hammer) to stop the dragon's attack. Since Zane used Power Bond, Zane would take damage equal to Cyber End Dragon's original attack points at the end of the turn. Zane said,"Sorry Nick but I play my Dust Tornado. I pick one of your face downs.". Nick saw that Draining Shield was destroyed and Zane said,"I now attack with my dragon. Super Strident Blaze.".

The heads began to charge up their attack but Nick said,"I activate the trap card Edge Hammer! Since I have Elemental Hero Bladedge on my field, I can sacrifice him in order to destroy one of your monsters and then you take damage equal to that monster's original attack points. Good bye Cyber End Dragon and the rest of your life points Zane!". "Good move. I play this." said Zane who smiled which shocked Syrus.

It was Trap Jammer that destroy the hammer causing the dragon to continue with his attack that didn't destroyed the monster but his life points were destroyed. Everyone there was shocked to see Nick had lost but they were shocked to see how he was taking it. He had a huge smile on his face despite him losing the duel. Zane looked at him and he turned around with Alexis and Shawn following after him with Syrus said,"Are you alright Nick?".

Zane: 900 Life Points. Winner!
Nick: 0 Life Points. 

Nick said,"Of course I am Syrus! That was an awesome duel! So are you ready to duel and you won't back right?". "Sure. We should get back to the dorm." said Julie. "You know that you didn't have to say that right?" said Chumley. "Yeah." said Nick and Syrus. Julie dragged Nick back to the dorm as Chumley said,"I guess we shouldn't mess with her right Syrus?". "Yeah. So is Shawn going to come back?" said Syrus. "Who knows?" said Chumley. The two went back to the Slifer Dorm.

Alexis said,"Zane! Wait!". Zane turned around to see her and Shawn standing there. "What? I'm tired Alexis." said Zane. "Ask him Alexis." said Shawn. "How did you know about me and Shawn? I mean we are really good at hiding it." said Alexis. "Ask him." said Zane. He walked away as Alexis looked at Shawn who was starting to sneak away. "Bartholomew. What did you do?" said Alexis. 'Well, I did tell Zane about us." said Shawn who was scared since she used his full name.

Alexis said,"Why?". "He helped me with telling me about the last place where Maria saw and he asked about you. He saw that you were interested in me after my duel against that proctor. She was hot but compared to you, she is nothing. I blame Karen for that statement." said Shawn. "Shawn. I don't want you telling anyone unless I'm ready." said Alexis. "Sure thing Lex." said Shawn. The two went to their dorms.

Chapter 8: Shawn vs Kyle! The Rematch for Light and Darkness Dragon!
Shawn was currently relaxing under a tree nearby the school. He was reading a book in his hands and looking at the pages of it. Karen said,"So does Alexis know that you are reading that book?". It was How to Date for Dummies. "I am slightly impressed that they have truly have a for dummies book for anything and you should get one for your roommates. You know that you shouldn't have given those cards to them." said Darren.

Shawn said to the two,"How about you two shut up? I have faith in Chumley's card making ability for sure. Syrus is also a great duelist in the making but his confidence is another story. So are you two just going to continue bothering me? I am extremely tired.". "Your previous training is terrible. I mean you are forced to use our powers to do anything." said Darren. The former Spirit Sorcerer had been training Shawn like crazy mainly in spiritual arts so he was tired.

Karen said,"I think that we should let him relax. His duel to keep him here at Duel Academy is in only twenty fours.". "And you don't mind straining his mental strength with those lessons of yours. That does sound fair." said Darren. "I am used to it Darren." said Shawn. Shawn got up and he said,"I better get going. I have a score to set.". "What are you talking about?" said Darren. "He has to get back his uncle's card. This will explaining everything." said Karen.

Flashback six years ago. A little Shawn was sitting in the park with him looking at his deck. He said to Brian aka Dark Magician,"I love you guys so much. I mean you helped me defeat him today.". "It is your destiny to win anything that comes in your path. However, I did noticed something in your duel with that bully and your girlfriend." said Brian. Shawn blushed at thinking about Alexis and he said,"Okay.".

Brian said,"You focus too much on attack and your defense is lacking. A good duelist knows how to use monsters, spells, and traps to win a duel.". "Yeah but how do I do that? I mean I only have attack boosting cards." said Shawn. "I know that you will find the way and it may be in a way that you don't expect. I wish you good luck and I expect a long from you." said Brian. He was gone and went back into his deck as Shawn said,"Man. He needs to have a fun boost.".

He sighed and he said,"I wish I was super good at dueling just like my uncle and Alexis. I mean they wouldn't have lost my uncle's card to Kyle Ingram.". He looked at his deck and he said,"One day, I'll get you back Light and Darkness Dragon. I will become a way better duelist and someday, I will win any duel.". He jumped off the park bench and he went back home for dinner because his stomach was like a black hole.

Present day. Shawn was heading toward Chancellor Sheppard's office. "So the day before your big duel, your bastard parents wants you to duel one of their chosen duelists. From what I've seen in your memories, they were bad parents." said Darren. "You forgot Darren. They adopted me and I could never figure out why." said Shawn. "I wonder if your birth parents were good friends with them." said Karen.

Shawn sighed as he said,"I don't care. Lets get this over with.". Shawn opened the office door and he saw Chancellor Sheppard standing there with Professor Banner. Pharaoh was missing. "I am sorry for doing this right before your big duel tomorrow against Crowler's duelist but your father is extremely stubborn." said Sheppard. "That man isn't my father. He is just a man who adopted me and treated me like complete trash." said Shawn.

Banner said,"So who is his chosen duelist? I wish to know how would challenge one of my students in the first place.". "A student here. He is the second ranking Obelisk third year. His name is Kyle Ingram." said Sheppard. Shawn clenched his fist and he said,"I accepted the terms of the duel. I just need to make some changes to my deck.". "It is fine with me. You have two hours to prepare." said Sheppard.

Shawn said,"Thank you sir.". He left the office as Banner said,"Aren't we being too harsh on the boy Chancellor? I mean he has this duel and that duel tomorrow at the cost of his attendance here at Duel Academy.". "I didn't want this duel but his adopted father is a very powerful man. He is able to make anything happen and not even the man who owns Duel Academy could say no to him. I do truly hope that he can win. He makes a change here." said Sheppard.

Nick slammed on his desk and he yelled,"Shawn is dueling against Kyle?!". He along with some of Shawn's friends (Alexis, Chazz, Julie, and Rena) in Professor Banner's Class. Shawn was back in the Slifer Red Dorm to work on his deck. "Yeah. He is dueling against one of the best Obelisk Blue in the freshman class Nick." said Banner. "Then Professor, let me duel against Kyle!" said Nick. "I'm sorry Mr. Conner but the man who organized this duel asks no demanded for Shawn." said Banner.

Nick slumped in his seat and Julie said,"I wonder why he asks for Shawn in the first place.". "I think it is because the man who started this duel is Shawn's adopted father." said Banner who pet Pharaoh in his arms. "What?! So who is the father!?" said Julie and Nick. "His name is Clark Reynolds, the CEO of the Reynolds Enterprise and he is the one of the richest men in the world. No, the richest man in the world." said Chazz.

Julie said,"That means that Shawn is extremely loaded.". "Not at all. Shawn is the Black Sheep of the family. He told me that he was pretty overworked and he had no time to be a kid. His older siblings were all success in their fields of choosing and Shawn really wanted to be a duelist. His entire family beside his aunt and uncle pretty much thought that he was an idiot and threw him to fend for himself at five years old." said Chazz.

Rena said,"He was lucky that his aunt and uncle taught him how to duel and he moved Domino City with some money.". "That's sad." said Nick. "I know. Shawn is lucky to have all of you caring for him now because I know you will be there if he wins or lose." said Banner. He left the room to make sure that the duel goes well. "So do you guys know his opponent beside for his name? He is an Obelisk Blue." said Julie.

Alexis said,"I do and he is the person who made Shawn move away.". "Shawn was bullied? That is so not cool." said Nick. "Shawn wasn't very confident when he was a kid. He was a pretty bad duelist. It was sad to see him lose all of the time but one day, it changed." said Alexis. "What do you mean by that?" said Rena. "It was a duel against Kyle and Shawn won but Kyle took a treasured card that was given to him by his uncle. It is Light and Darkness Dragon." said Alexis.

Chazz said,"Are you serious Alexis?". "Yes." said Alexis. "How do you know that card Chazz?" said Nick. "Well Hero Boy, I'm a Dragon duelist. I have heard legends of that card and its power. That guy deserves the wrath of the Chazz but Shawn needs to duel him." said Chazz. "He's right." said Rena. "I got you guys and I'm going to cheer on my friend!" said Nick. He ran off as Julie said,"We better go after him.". "Yeah." said Rena.

The two girls went after him and Alexis said,"Aren't you going with them Chazz?". "Yeah. I think you are needed next to Shawn. He is scared of fighting his old bully and the person who defeated him before so you as his girlfriend and friend should be there to help him." said Chazz. He went right to the door and Alexis said,"Did Shawn tell you about us?". "Nope. You guys are good at hiding it but the Chazz is a great detective." said Chazz. Alexis sighed as she went to the Slifer Dorm.

Shawn was looking at his deck. He said,"Okay. This deck can crush anyone or anything in its path. I wonder if I should use that disk.". He looked at a box right in front of him and he was lucky that his roommates didn't look in it. Inside of the box was his custom duel disk that he had made for himself and it was awesome in his opinion. The disk was black like midnight with the normal blue dorm was red just like fire or the sun.

The edges of the disk were gold with the marking for the monster zones were the same color as the edges. He asked Sheppard if he could use this disk which he can but he didn't want to use unless it was an emergency. He thought that this disk wasn't fair but he knew that this disk was something that someone precious made for him so he was going to show them. It was also extremely sharp with him using it to cut through steel.

Shawn opened it and he put it on his right arm. He was left handed but he could use his right hand to duel since when he drew with his left hand. His powers made the card real and he wasn't scared of using this effect because Kyle deserves it. He looked at his deck and he placed it inside of the disk. He went to the door and he heard,"I hope you're not leaving me behind.". He looked back in his deck trunk and he said,"I'm not.".

He held up a card and it was covered with darkness. "I understand." said Shawn. He replaced a card in his deck as the door opened. Shawn saw Alexis and he said,"Lex. What are you doing here?". "It looks like a hurricane went through here." said Alexis as she walked in. Several cards were scattered around Shawn as he said,"I'll clean it up mom. So what's up?". "So are you doing okay? I mean you are mostly likely dueling against Light and Darkness Dragon." said Alexis.

Shawn said,"I know and no one in my deck wants to duel against an old friend. I don't want to fight against him either but I don't want my father to win in duel monsters when he made fun of it when I was a kid. My new monsters would be perfect but lets just say that my deck from back in the day wants revenge on them.". He was currently cleaning them up and Alexis said,"Here. This may help you in your duel.".

She tossed him a card and Shawn looked at it. It was a warrior type monster and Shawn said,"What is this?". "It is Cyber Angel Dakini." said Alexis. She picked him up and she said,"You better not lose. I mean you're my boyfriend and I know that Shawn Alvarez hates to lose.". "Yeah. I may need the spell Machine Angel Ritual to actually summon her in the first place." said Shawn. "I know so go get them tiger." said Alexis who kissed him on the cheek and gave him the card.

She left the room and Shawn smiled. He finished cleaning up the room and he threw the trunk under the desk. He took a final look at his custom duel disk and he said,"Time to test you out for actually dueling.". He closed the dorm and he placed his deck in his deck holder as he was walking down the stairs. He took a walk back to the school with him humming a western tune. It was a tune that Shawn learned back during middle school.

The Obelisk Blue Arena was packed to the brim with students and teachers because they were either payed by Shawn's father or they cared about him mainly the former. Shawn's friends were all sitting next to each other with Zane looking from above. He was curious about Shawn's past but unlike his brother and his friends, he wasn't going to pry if Shawn didn't want him to pry. "This duel is going to be intense you guys." said Chumley.

Nick said,"No way Chumley. This duel may be intense but tomorrow's duel is going to be way more intense with way more on the line.". "I have to agree with Nick on this. Shawn is going to win after the research that I have done on him and his opponent Kyle Ingram." said Bastion. "So what type of deck does Kyle use?" said Alice. "From what I guess, a deck that crushes monsters with its power and strength." said Bastion.

Clara said,"So is Shawn in trouble?". "Maybe." said Chazz. "Maybe? We know that Shawn can defeat Obelisks with ease." said Rena. "So where is he?" said Syrus. Melissa stood there and she said,"This is a duel between Kyle Ingram and Shawn Alvarez. Would the two duelist please come out?". Alexis saw Kyle standing there with a smug grin on him. He had dark gray hair that made him looked rich and dark green eyes.

Some of the girls in the audience cheered for him as the crowd heard whistling. "What the hell is up with that noise?" said Kyle. 'I know that tune. It belongs to the top ranking duelist from Revolution City known as Legacy. I guess we know who it is and I really want to duel him badly now. I think that Shawn here is just full of surprise.' thought Zane who had a small smirk. Shawn stood there with him saying with him laughing nervously,"Sorry. I tend to get distracted when I'm whistling.".

He got on the dueling platform and he said,"I hope you are ready to lose a second time to me.". "Hey Kyle. I was about to say the same thing. Lets makes things interesting." said Shawn. "What do you mean by that?" said Kyle. "You're in close connection with the old bastard right? If I win this duel, I get all of his money until he dies and also give back my dragon." said Shawn. "Fine! If I win, I am taking all of your rare cards." said Kyle.

Sheppard looked at Banner and he said,"Shouldn't we stop them Banner?". "This is quite good for their rivalry and I bet it will help the two of them grow up." said Banner. The cat meowed as Kyle and Shawn activated their duel disks. "Lets get our game on Kyle!" said Shawn. "You know that I don't care loser. You are going down loser and taking your rare cards will make better than you for the rest of time! Duel!" said Kyle.

Kyle: 4000 Life Points.
Shawn: 4000 Life Points. 

Kyle said,"Obelisks first!". He drew a card and he said,"I've changed my deck since our last duel and it will destroy those weaklings in your deck. I play the spell card Ancient Rules.". A spell card appear with it having a picture of a light blue dragon like creature, some text, and a light red or pink octopus like creature crossed out. "This spell card lets me special summon a level 5 or higher monster from my hand and I pick my Tyrant Dragon!" said Kyle.

A giant dragon appeared in front of Kyle and it roared. (8/2900/2500). "Your father has studied you and this deck that I have will be able to stop any plans of yours that you have. I end my turn with two face downs. Your move." said Kyle. Two cards appeared behind the dragon and Shawn said,"I guess this is my time to prove my dad wrong about me then! I draw!". He smiled at the card and he said,"I think it is time for you all to see the Legacy in action!".

The crowd started to murmur as Syrus said,"This may be a dumb question but who is the Legacy? He is a pro right?". "Only the Duelist Sy! I mean he is the number one rank duelist in the entire city and that city is filled to the brim with powerful duelists. I always wanted to go there." said Nick whose eyes turned into stars. "I guess he went to Revolution City." said Chumley. 'I guess Shawn wanted to keep that a secret until now.' thought Alexis.

Shawn said,"Time to bring your destruction! I place a monster in face down defense mode and end my turn with a face down.". Kyle face fault into the ground along with the rest of the crowd as the two cards appeared. "I honestly thought that Shawn was going to do something more extravagant but wow." said Clara. "Maybe he is planning something?" said Alice. "Unlike Alice. I think that Shawn got a bad starting hand." said Bastion.

Kyle drew a card and he said,"I play the spell Pot of Greed which allows me to draw two cards.". He drew two cards as he said,"I think I will summon my Infernal Dragon in attack mode!". A dark green dragon appear with it standing ready to eat. (4/2000/0). "Attack that face down with Dragon Flame Blast Tyrant Dragon!" yelled Kyle. The dragon fired out with a huge burst of fire which covered the field in flames.

Kyle started laughing and he said,"Man! That was good. I mean you're going to be kicked out of this place and lose your rare cards.". The fire was gone as Shawn's face down monster turned out to be a weird looking blob monster. (3/300/500). "I activate my Marshmallon's special effect! Since you attack this monster while it was face down at the start of the damage step, you take 1000 points of damage so show him your power!" said Shawn.

Kyle was bitten by the monster as Kyle said,"Okay! Attack that weakling Infernal Dragon!". The other dragon flew in to attack the fairy but it stayed there upon being attacked. "I guess that your professor didn't teach you about the fact that Marshmallon's other effect. It can't be destroyed in battle." said Shawn. Kyle growled at this and he said,"I end my turn with a face down. Your move loser and this duel is going to end with me winning like always.".

Kyle: 3000 Life Points.
Shawn: 4000 Life Points. 

Shawn drew a card and he said,"Perfect. I play the spell card Monster Loyalty!". A spell card appear and it showed two monster shaking hands. "I can now special summon a monster from my deck if it is the same attribute as my Marshmallon and I pick my Galaxy Sentinel Power. Come out my ace of my deck and show these reptiles the power of the galaxy above!" said Shawn. A light appeared from the ground and something crashed to the ground.

Out of the smoke, a warrior stood there. It was a warrior with it wearing a body suit that reminded the crowd of the galaxy. A single gold line ran over his arms, chest, and legs with it representing the stars above. In the center of his chest was a ruby gemstone. It had silver spikes on his elbows that curved downwards which looked like blades. "Let me introduce you all to Galaxy Sentinel Power!" said Shawn who smiled.

Kyle said,"So? That weakling won't do anything to my monsters.". "I'm not done yet. I play the equip spell Thunderstorm Sword!" said Shawn. The monster held a sword that had several lightning bolt going through it. (8/3000-4000/3000-4000). "My monster gains 1000 attack and defense points with this blade with it giving it the ability to attack more than once per turn so sweetness for me." said Shawn. Rena said,'Wow. That is strong to say the least.".

Shawn said,"I now summon my Galaxy Sentinel Lion in attack mode!". A loud roar appear on the field with a lion looking just like Power but with a golden mane that shined throughout the darkness of the galaxy. (4/2000/1500). "I now activate his special effect. Since I have another monster on my field, I can destroy a face down for every monster on your field. I count two so destroy them with Solar Flare Roar!" said Shawn.

The lion roared destroying both of Kyle's face down with the one on the left being Mirror Force and the other one was a spell card. "Shawn. That spell card is dangerous so be careful with your assault on your bully." said GSP. "I will so lets go! Thunder Strike Slash!" said Shawn. The hero nodded as he jumped into the air with two thunderbolts hitting the dragons in front of him with smoke covering the arena.

Nick said,"Shawn won in just one move!". The smoke clear as Tyrant Dragon was safe thanks to a stone dragon blocking. "You may have destroyed my Infernal Dragon but I activate the quick play spell Dragon Statue! Since I sent my Cave Dragon from my hand to the graveyard, your battle phase is stopped and you take damage equal to that monster that I send to the graveyard." said Kyle. The spirit of the cave dragon blast Shawn directly knocking him back a little.

Kyle: 1000 Life Points.
Shawn: 2000 Life Points. 

The lion was worried about Shawn who said,"I'm fine boy. This isn't a shadow game so don't worry so much.". He grinned as he said,"I guess you got better Kyle. I end my turn with a face down.". A card appear next to the other face down card. Kyle drew a card and he said,"I think I will help you out Shawn by playing Card of Sanctity!". Kyle drew six cards while Shawn drew four cards. Shawn then noticed the dark aura around Kyle who started to laugh.

Kyle said,"Time for you all to see the power of money! I play the field spell Carnival of Terror!". The field turned into a carnival that looked like something from a horror movie. "By playing this, your monster lose all of their points due to them being scared to death!" said Kyle. The three lost their power. (Galaxy Sentinel Power: 8/4000-0/4000-0). (Galaxy Sentinel Lion: 4/2000-0/1500-0). (Marshmallow: 0/0). "This isn't looking good." said Chazz.

Syrus said,"With his monsters not having a single point, Tyrant Dragon can destroy either the lion or Power and he lose!". "Don't worry Syrus. Shawn in the past may have been screwed at this point but Shawn now can handle anything." said Alexis. Kyle said,"Oh and did I forget to mention that monster gain 1000 attack and defense points. All spells and monster effects on your side are negated. I now play the spell Strings of Fear!". (Tyrant Dragon: 8/2900-3900/2500-3500).

Several strings appeared from the spell card as they grabbed all of Shawn's monsters. "All of your monsters are now forced to attack my dragon upon your next turn but I'm not down. I play the spell card Dragon Destruction!" said Kyle. A card appeared showing several dragons being destroyed by a huge ball of fire. "By sending four dragons from my deck to the graveyard, I can you hit with 2000 points of damage since for each dragon, you take 500 points of damage." said Kyle.

Kyle said while his deck glowed,"I now send your precious Light and Darkness Dragon along with my Koumori Dragon, Curse of Dragon, and Winged Dragon, Guardian of the Fortress #1. Now show him what happens when you mess with your family!". Shawn saw the four dragons heading right at him and he said,"I send my Kuriboh to the graveyard so all damage is negated this turn!". The four went right through him and he said,"That still hurts.".

Kyle laughed and he said,"I think I will end my turn with a face down. Don't forget about my Strings of Fear Shawn. Whatever you do, my dragon will destroy them with its fiery wrath. Aren't you scared of me Shawny? I mean remember when we were kids, I always destroy any attempt. You may have gotten stronger but thanks to your family, I will destroy you and then tomorrow, you will be kicked out of Duel Academy!".

The card appeared in front of Tyrant Dragon as Shawn said,"I don't care about you. I learn something while training with my master. The duel isn't over until the last card is played and now I'm powered up!". He drew a card and he said,"Perfect. I got a way to defeat your strings and carnival in one fell swoop. I play the trap card Comet Shower!". A trap card appeared with several comets coming down on the planet.

Kyle said,"So what does that card do?". "Oh. It destroys all cards on the field and I gain 400 life points for each one!" said Shawn. Several comets came crashing down and Kyle said,"I play my face down Draco Shield. By sending one dragon from my hand, my field spell and dragon stays on the field so your plan crashed and burned!". They destroyed the field and Kyle said,"I do hope that life points boost was worth it Shawn!".

Kyle: 1000 Life Points.
Shawn: 4800 Life Points. 

Kyle saw his dragon standing there in the carnival of terror with him being shocked to see that on Shawn's field were three weird looking tokens. They all looked like a weird slime with the two of them being colored the same as Galaxy Sentinel Lion and Galaxy Sentinel Power. (1/1000/1000) and there was also a slime but it looked more magical. (2/1000/1000), "These two are my face downs aka Galaxy Slime Spell Card and Magician's Slime Spell Card." said Shawn.

Bastion said,"Quite an interesting move. He can now summon a high level monster that will be able to destroy Tyrant Dragon without being effected by that god awful field spell.". "Right. I totally knew that." said Nick who looked confused. "Sometimes Nick." said Julie. "I now summon a monster using one of my Galaxy Slime token. This is for an old friend of mine. I summon my Excalibur, Champion of Weapons in attack mode!" said Shawn. One slime was gone.

A single warrior that had crimson red hair with gray eyes under a gold helmet with a plume of fire on the top of it. He was dressed like a Spartan Warrior with some elements of a medieval knight since it had gold armor matching his armor. On his back, a halberd, lance, quiver of arrows, and war hammer under a giant shield that had a sword with it being in the middle of the symbol for infinite. he had two combat knife strapped to both of his legs, and a giant sword in his right hand. (8/3000/2500).

Shawn said,"This warrior was given to me by my good friend and he is a strong rival. He helped me countless times back in the day so I won't let him or his ace down! I now play his special ability. If I have a monster on my field which I have two of, I can send them both to the graveyard to special summon a monster from my deck. I pick two monsters known as Desperado, Hero of the Wild West and Enchantress of the Mystic Arts!".

The two slime were gone as two very different monsters appeared on the field. The one on the left of Excalibur appeared by several bullets along with a horse neighing in the distance. It traveled to the field with the monster appearing since it was the horse rider. The horse was gone as a bunch of magic hats appeared and it exploded in a huge burst of beams of light colored like the rainbow. It showered down to reveal the monster.

The horse rider monster was a cowboy with him wearing a black cowboy outfit with matching hat. He is wearing a gold bandanna around his neck. He smiled as the girls in the crowd fell for it and he had tanned skin with gray hair and gold eyes just like his bandanna. He started to click his tongue with both of his hands wavering over his two identical .50 Desert Eagles known as Blast and Boom are in their holders. (8/2800/2500).

The other one was a woman who had a graceful and elegant posture to her. She had azure blue eyes that had authority and playfulness at the very same time. She is wearing an outfit very similar to a normal magician but it was a combination of black, white, and gold. She has long platinum-blonde hair that flowed past the swell of her breasts which were quite prominent causing every girl in the crowd to feel bad about themselves. (8/2900/2500).

The cowboy said,"It's good to see all these folks coming out here to see you in battle Shawn. I mean this is better a good steak down by Ryu.". "Focus Johnathan. We have work to do. I think Lance needs to destroy that pesky dragon." said the woman. "Right. Show Kyle what happens when you mess with the Legacy." said Lance. Shawn said,"I activate his special effect first! Since both my cowboy and enchantress are both earth attribute monster, he gains 1000 attack and defense points for each one.".

The warrior glowed golden as he grew stronger. (8/3000-5000/2500-4500). "Before you attack me with your weak warrior, I send my Kuriboh to the graveyard and I play Mystic Space Typhoon to destroy my field spell!" said Kyle. The carnival was gone as Chazz said,"So why did he use up a card to keep it and then get rid of it himself?". "Since I destroy my field spell, I can special summon a monster on my next turn." said Kyle.

Zane thought,'I wonder if Kyle wanted to destroy that spell instead of letting Shawn do it himself. It would have given Shawn some extra points but this move makes no sense.'. "Hey Shawn. I think this kid is being possessed by a bad spirit. I mean you know this kid from the past right? I mean if you think about it, he would haven't a Kuriboh right?" said Johnathan. "You have a point there Johnny but I think we should just attack." said Shawn.

The cowboy and warrior nodded as Shawn said,"Time to attack with my Desperado first! Quick Fire Aces!". The cowboy pulled out its pistols with it aiming right at Tyrant Dragon and he then fired out several thousand bullets from each pistols. The bullets destroyed the dragon and Shawn said,"Time for a Fiery Finisher Excalibur!". The warrior rushed toward Kyle with his sword glowing red and he slashed him causing 5000 points of damage.

Chumley said,"Man. This is so not lischus. I mean Shawn would have won this duel with Excalibur and I think that witch of hers would finish the deal.". "Yeah." said Alice and Clara. "I hope Shawn can win." said Alexis. "I attack with my Enchantress! Mystic Blast!" said Shawn. The woman fired the attack at Kyle with him saying,"I guess you must be mad at me stopping your victory aren't you huh Shawny?".

Shawn said,"When I was a kid, I would be but things have changed. I play my Enchantress's special effect. I can now draw four cards from my deck and this is because for each monster on the field not counting herself, I can draw two cards.". He drew four cards and him drawing Alexis's Card, Valiant Donation, Metal Reflect Slime, and Monster Reborn. "I think I will end my turn by placing five face downs. Your move Kyle." said Shawn.

Kyle drew a card and he said,"I can now special summon the monster that will destroy everything in your way path! I now summon Fear Hunter!". A monster appeared from the ground and it looked like a average looking hunter with it being demonic. (10/4000/4000). "I now play his special effect. Since you have eight cards on your field, I can draw that amount." said Kyle. He added eight cards to his hand and he said,"I now play the spell card that you destroy with Mirror Force! Heart of Fear!".

A card appeared with a heart screaming in terror and Kyle said,"Since you have 1000 or more life points than me, I now gain the difference between our life points doubled!". The heart started to pound loudly and it made Kyle smile. "I now summon Fear Hound in attack mode and I can summon this monster since you have a monster on your field!" said Kyle. A dog with three heads appear and each head roared upon being summoned. (4/1800/1600).

Kyle: 5800 Life Points.
Shawn: 4800 Life Points. 

Kyle said "I now play the spell card Fear Destiny!" Shawn saw the two monsters in front of him glowing and Kyle said,"This spell works like this, For every monster on your field, I get to special summon a monster. I start my summoning party by pick my level 3 Fear Scorpion, my level 6 Fear Giant, and my level 7 Fear Spider! Scare him into fear and show this crowd that I am one to be feared!". The two monster on his field then started to screamed in terror.

During this, Shawn and his monsters were covering their ears upon a giant scary scorpion appeared with a giant looking something out of a horror movie and a giant spider with it just looking ready to devour Shawn. (Fear Scorpion: 3/1700/800). (Fear Giant: 6/2400/2400). (Fear Spider: 3200/3200). "Man. That is one creepy field." said Nick. Alice saw that Chumley and Syrus were hiding and Clara said,"I think they are thinking the same thing.".

Kyle said,"I now play the spell card Destruction of Fear! By sending two cards from my hand, your entire field gets destroyed!". A huge wave of purple aura appear from a spell card with a skull face on it. "I play my face down Kyle! Stardust Road! This trap negates your spell and destroys it before it can effect my field since you're planning to destroy my field." said Shawn. The wave was destroyed right before hitting Shawn's field with the three monsters smiling.

Shawn said,"Thanks to this trap, I can special summon my Stardust Dragon!". The dragon appeared from his desk as it rested next to the magician. (8/2500/2000). "I now attack your cowboy with my Fear Spider! Web of Terror!" said Kyle. The webs went to the hero with Shawn said,"I now activate my dragon's special effect! By sending it to the graveyard, your attack is negated!". The web was blocked by the dragon who went to the graveyard.

Kyle said,"I think I will destroy your precious girl now with my archer. Terror Bow.". The arrow went right toward the woman with Shawn said,"Time to play my face down! I play the trap combo known as Enchanted Javelin and Magical Cylinder. Magic Cylinder takes your attack and delivers it to you as damage but my Enchanted Javelin gives me life points based of your Fear Hunter! Thanks for the cool four grand!". The attack hit Kyle as he growled.

Kyle: 1800 Life Points.
Shawn: 8800 Life Points. 

Kyle yelled,"I will make sure that you lose your life points and then this duel! I play the trap card Fear Domination! Now by sending my Fear Hunter to the graveyard, you take 8000 points of damage since this trap gives you double the damage of my monster's attack points!". Shawn screamed in pain as the dark aura knocked him to the ground. "Destroy that dark spirit using my power. I promise that your bully won't be hurt too much." said the voice from the abandoned dorm.

Kyle: 1800 Life Points.
Shawn: 800 Life Points.

Shawn said,"I will soon. I can now special summon back my Stardust Dragon using its effect! Come on back!". The dragon returned to the field as Kyle said,"I think I end my turn with two face down cards. It is your move so try your best.". Shawn drew a card and he said,"I now activate the spell card Machine Angel Ritual!". A weird room appeared with a giant fire behind Shawn and he said, "I now ritual summon Cyber Angel Dakini thanks to Celtic Guardian, Wizard Wolf, and Speed Warrior!".

He send three cards into the graveyard which lit the flame behind him to make a mini inferno and after the flame died down, a woman stood there.She had blue skin with four arms. In two of her arms, she wield a sword. One was a katana with a golden guard with a blue hilt which had a charm dangling off the hilt and the other blade looked like a machette that had a variation of the gold/blue hit design with the end of the blade, a near-circular shape was cut from the sword.

She was holding a bow staff in her other hand. She held the bow staff which guarded her frame. She has long flowing red hair that was hidden by a flat-top helmet that went down to her back, a golden galerus that guarded her bust and shoulders and she had matching gauntlets and navy/gold bottoms that stretched over her curvaceous frame. (8/2700/2400). "I play my face down Valiant Donation. I have under 2000 life points so I can draw two cards and I get life points equal to 8000" said Shawn.

Kyle: 1800 Life Points.
Shawn: 8000 Life Points.

Shawn's eyes glowed bright gold and he said,"It's time to finish this duel! Time to show you the power of the Legacy!". His eyes went back to normal and he said,"I overlay the level 8 Cyber Angel Dakini, Desperado, Hero of the Wild West, Enchantress of the Mystic Arts, Excalibur, Champion of Weapons, and Stardust Dragon! With these five monsters, I now build the overlay network! XYZ Summon! Appear Satanic Oberon!".

Crowler yelled,"What?! He knows how to do an XYZ summon?!". "Yeah! Lets go already!" yelled Shawn. The cowboy, warrior, and witch turned into orange energy, the angel turned into yellow energy, and the dragon turned into green energy with them combining into a portal. A monster then appeared from it. A man stood there with his arms crossed. He was wearing a gold crown with him wearing a evil suit of armor with him having dark red hair up to his shoulders with matching eyes.

On his back he held his giant sword that looked bigger ready to strike with five orbs which are the five monsters used summon him flying around him. (8/?/?). "That monster is so dam weak!" said Rai and Tor. "I wish to destroy them now so may I already?" said SO. "Just be patient my liege. His attack and defense points are equal to the combined total of all of the monsters that I used to summon him attack and defense points." said Shawn.

The fiend glowed with him gaining an eerie smile. (8/13,900/11,900). "I play the spell card Monster Reborn! Time to return back to me Light and Darkness Dragon!" said Shawn. The black and white dragon stood there and it said,"I missed you a lot Bart. You have become quite the duelist in that time and I'm impressed.". (8/2800/2400). "Yeah. I now active my fiend's other special effect. By getting rid of one overlay unit, I can now destroy all cards on your field Demonic Rain!" said Shawn.

The fiend then smiled as he put his right hand in the air. He suddenly made several beams of darkness hit Kyle's field wiping it clear. "Attack your former owner Light and Darkness Dragon! Holy Shadow Dragon Roar!" yelled Shawn. The dragon fired the roar at Kyle defeating him and Shawn said,"And this duel is over!". The crowd cheered for Shawn who said,"Thank god. That was a close one.". "You need to get rid of that dark spirit now." said SO.

Kyle: 0 Life Points.
Shawn: 8000 Life Points. Winner!

Shawn said,"You're right.". He walked over to Kyle's deck and he said,"Come out dark spirit. Free this boy from your wrath now.". The spirit flew out of Kyle's deck with it being devour by Satanic Oberon who smiled. Kyle looked at him and he said,"Shawn. Here.". He held Light and Darkness Dragon and he said,"This card belongs to you along with the gold card. Don't lose tomorrow okay twerp.". Kyle walked away and Shawn stood there holding his dragon and a gold credit card.

Chapter 9: Expulsion Duel of Pain! Armageddon Release!
Darren said,"I don't get it. We won against Kyle and we are still in trouble. I think you using that monster is bad news.". "You think that any monsters that wasn't part of your kingdom was bad news." said Karen. Shawn took a deep breath and he said,"So how were they even a couple in the first place SO?". The fiend stood next to him and he said,"From what I heard, they love each other but they fight a lot and boy do I mean that.".

Shawn sighed and he said,"I need them to stop so do you have any idea how to stop them because I am the only one who can hear them and talking to all of you guys making me look even crazy which I don't care about normally but I'm going crazy.". "You have the power to do it so just do it. I would rather have you happy than annoyed." said SO. Shawn took a deep breath and he made the two in his head quiet.

He cheered silently for it as he continued on his way to Chancellor Sheppard's office. "I don't think I am in trouble right?" said Shawn. The fiend xyz monster said,"I don't think so. I mean you did use a summoning technique that this school doesn't teach along with the way to summon Stardust Dragon before and you weren't in trouble then.". "You're right about Satanic Oberon but I think this is going to be an interesting meeting." said Shawn.

The fiend disappear as the door to Sheppard's office opened up. "Ah Shawn. Your duel against Kyle was impressive and I think that you using both Synchro and XYZ summon has proven that you are perfect for teaching it." said Sheppard. "Are you serious? Me a teacher? Wow, I so didn't think that at all. Just wow." said Shawn. He walked toward the man and he said,"So what brought up this idea of yours Chancellor?".

Sheppard said,"You know that all duel disks are programmed to record all duels right?". "Yeah. You are supposed to learn from your loses in battle which I did after I arrived in Revolution which was 3 years ago. Good times." said Shawn. "So are you okay with teaching Shawn? I mean after all you are a first year student." said Sheppard. "Chancellor. My master told me before he went missing that he wants his teachings well taught and I'm honored to do that." said Shawn.

Sheppard laughed and he said,"I didn't expect Ryou to be like that. He doesn't seem like the person who is a person who wants his teaching to go through time.". "Yeah. So am I replacing a teacher or what?" said Shawn. "Yes. I highly think that you can handle anything that Crowler throws at you due to you being well the Legacy. So I hope you don't mind being Duel Academy's first ever teacher on Summoning Techniques." said Sheppard.

Satanic Oberon said,"I suggest that you take him up on this offer Shawn.". "I was going to. So as a teacher, may I ask for somethings in return of this?" said Shawn. "Shawn. What do you want?" said Sheppard. "I wish to use my money to refurbish the Slifer Red Dorm and Ra Yellow Dorms and also to build a girls dorm." said Shawn. "What are you taking about Shawn?" said Sheppard who was lost at this.

Shawn then placed a mini computer on his desk and he said,"I've noticed a couple of things beside for the list of missing students. Some of the girls in Obelisk Blue aren't very bright like at all. I wish for them to be treated just the male students. I can contact Kaiba about this and I think that making a red and yellow version of the girls's uniform won't take that much work on your part.". "Wow. You did all of this before your duel with Kyle." said Sheppard.

Shawn said,"Not exactly Chancellor. I've complied all of this data from the time that school started up to now.". "I see. So do you know a construction crew that can build a decently size building in under twenty four hours?" said Sheppard. "Sure do. They're old friends of mine after all. I had helped their crew out once before so I have a favor and they love a challenge. So do you mind announce it to the school tomorrow?" said Shawn.

Sheppard said,"Sure thing Shawn. I wish you good luck in your duel tomorrow.". "Thanks Chancellor because this duel is going to be a hard one for sure." said Shawn. He left the office with his computer in hand as Sheppard thought,'That boy is something else. He is trying to find his master and his sister while living a normal life. I wonder if he figured out about the Sacred Beasts and where they are in this school.'.

Shawn sighed as it started to rain upon him leaving the main building. He had to make a call to the construction crew that would help building the Slifer Red Girls Dorm and Ra Yellow Girls dorm. 'I should probably head back to the dorm but I feel like just walking around.' thought Shawn. He started to walk around and he started to remember that last two months. It had been a blast and he didn't want to leave this place at all.

It had been the most fun that he had in a long time even more than the three years that he had spent in Revolution City where Duel Monsters ran the city. He still had his duel spirits which were part of his family but they had stuff to do. He then thought about the friends that he made here at Duel Academy and he felt happiness. He made friends before but the one he made here were some of the best friends that he made.

There was Chazz Princeton who had a lot of pride but the two both had something in common being that their family usually treated them like garbage. After their duel, the two had a respect for each other and they are good rivals since they are always improving. Chumley Huffington who is a food lover and a really good artist. He could be a great card designer in his future along with Alice who came here to become a card designer.

He made a mental note to send some of their design to Pegasus before the end of the week with their permission of course. Syrus and Zane Truesdale are a strange set of siblings with Syrus being way more emotional than Zane who is calm and collected. They totally remind him of a pair of siblings back in Revolution City but Shawn need that those two needed each other more than Zane would ever admit about it.

Bastion Misawa, Clara Rogers, and Julie Art were incredibly smart duelist with Bastion being well known for his theorems, formulas, and strategies for both dueling and the math behind it. He knew that Bastion would be a good rival for him since he could always have help. Clara was a great rival with her being extremely good with fairies and she was a great athlete. Julie was a diamond in the rough and with some improvement, he knew that she could beat anyone.

Shawn then thought about Nick and Rena. Nick was an incredibly duelist but an awful student since he sleeps in class most of the time. Rena was a good duelist just like Chazz and Nick with her ability to use water monsters being extremely close to his friend from Revolution City. Nick was going to challenge him soon and he knew that they won't be throwing any punches. Shawn wondered if Rena like Chazz with Shawn hoping that she does because they would be good together.

He thought of Alexis who he had fallen in love with when he was young and he knew that there was another girl who made him feel like this. However, they didn't end on a happy note since he left to go find anything on his master and sister. He thought of his special lady and he was going to win for her mainly. "Shawn. What are you doing out here?" said a voice. Shawn turned around to see Alexis with an umbrella.

Shawn smiled and he said,"Oh. I just walking around thinking about tomorrow where I am going to win.". "Shawn. I know that look. You were thinking about all of the friends that you made here and I know that you are worried about losing tomorrow." said Alexis. "Me worried about losing? I mean I haven't lost in over four years." said Shawn. "Shawn. Come with me." said Alexis. Shawn followed his girlfriend back to the Slifer Dorm.

The two were in an empty room and Alexis said,"Professor Banner told me that you were given this room to train for the duel tomorrow.". "Yeah but I like being with Chumley and Syrus, they're good friends and they make some good fuel." said Shawn. "We can eat once we create your ultimate deck that can defeat anyone." said Alexis. "Sure but you're explaining why you are here in a boys dorm. I don't feel like getting in more trouble." said Shawn.

Alexis said,"So you're becoming a teacher Shawn?". Shawn held up his deck while looking it and he said,"I'm going to be working as the Summoning Techniques Teacher while also being a student. It's going to be fun. I heard that the Teacher's Lounge has a hot tub but that could just be a rumor but the snack machines are going to be divine.". "So are you going to graduate with us?" said Alexis. "I don't think we should be thinking about that now but yeah, I will." said Shawn.

Alexis said,"So why do you carry around those monsters that you used against Kyle?". "You must be taking about Eileen/Enchantress, Johnny/Desperado, and Lance/Excalibur right? Those three were no are the ace of three of the top ten duelists back in Revolution. They gave me them upon me moving back to Domino City. It was for good luck." said Shawn. "Yeah. Nick is a big fan of anything from that city." said Alexis.

Shawn said,"They are extremely powerful cards so do you think I should use them?". "Maybe but I noticed that you tend to focus on destroying your opponent and I think you should try to well diverse your deck a little bit." said Alexis. "Whatever you think is going to be help me stay here Lex." said Shawn. The girl went to work as Shawn said,"So you know about the Christmas Festival coming up right?".

Alexis said,"I'm impressed that you know that Shawn since you tend to sleep in class even more than Nick which is saying a lot.". "Syrus was looking forward to it. He couldn't stop taking it about to me and Chumley so I know about it. So could we go on our first date then?" said Shawn. "Shawn. I will only say yes if you win your duel tomorrow." said Alexis. "Of course. I feel fired up and this guy will be going down for sure." said Shawn. Alexis smiled as the two continued to work on his deck.

The next day. Crowler was walking through the hallway of Duel Academy and he was counting all of the Slifer Sludges in his path. 'Look at all of them. They are running through this school like vermin, I refuse to believe that such vermin are allowed here. This school is for the elite and I don't care if he is the Legacy!' thought Crowler. "I WON'T LET THAT SLIFER SLACKER RUIN THIS SCHOOL AT ALL!" yelled Crowler scaring all of the Slifers in the area.

Crowler said,"Soon. He will pay for messing with me along with the rest of his friends. He will be looking like a fool soon enough.". "Dr. Crowler." said a voice. The man saw Tor Motoani standing there and Crowler said,"Ah Tor, how can I help you?". "You should put me in that elimination duel against that wannabe! I want to send him and that Ra Reject packing!" said Tor. "Sorry but you are sitting out this time." said Crowler.

Tor was shocked as he said,"You may be a Obelisk Blue but I want Shawn gone for sure. He is going to face one of the best duelists in the world. Your angry is blinding you and it will cost you the duel for sure.". Tor stormed off as Crowler went off to get ready for the duel. Meanwhile, Shawn was on the floor of the room that he was sharing with Chumley and Syrus. The two plus Nick were trying to pump him up.

Chumley said,"So how can you be so calm Shawn?". "It is just another duel Chum. I mean this duel is stressful but not as stressful as say a pro duel. Man, that duel makes me quiver in my boots if I was wearing boots to begin with." said Shawn who held a card. "Yeah but this isn't a normal duel or a pro duel, you could be kicked out if you lose." said Syrus. "You guys shouldn't worry. I mean Shawn is an incredible duelist and the Legacy. He has never lost a duel in his entire career." said Nick.

Shawn said,"You know that I have lost duels before right?". "Yeah. I mean he lost how many times to Alexis." said Chumley. "200." said Shawn who moped. "I think this duel is stupid though. I mean you know that duels are supposed to be fun and not for school." said Nick. "You do know that we are in a school for dueling right?" said Syrus. "I know but still, I mean this duel and your duel against Kyle was for keeping you here." said Nick.

Shawn said,"Nick. My duel against Kyle was for finally beating my bully for once and this duel may be for keeping me here but I have a reason to win. I won't let her be sad again.". "So do you like Lex Shawn?" said Syrus. "Yeah. I mean you two are old friends right?" said Nick. "And you caught in this mess for her." said Chumley. "Yeah. I should get going. Later guys." said Shawn. He ran out of the dorm room getting ready for the duel ahead of him.

At the main dueling arena, everyone were waiting for the duel. "Attention! The duel to keep Shawn Alvarez here at Duel Academy will begin soon! If Shawn loses this, he is expelled." said a voice over the P.A. Bastion was siting in one of the seats of the arena with him watching most of the seats being filled by people who wanted to see the Legacy duel in person or see Shawn get crushed and he said,"This duel is too harsh.".

Alexis said,"You're right about that Bastion.". He turned to see Alexis standing there with Rena and Rena said,"So do you know anything about this duel Bastion?". "Not much beside for the fact that Crowler had a part in hiring someone who is extremely deadly since he was able to defeat several pros in a row without breaking a sweat." said Bastion. "This really doesn't sound good." said Rena who was worried. "Yeah." said Alexis.

"Now comes the accused Shawn Alvarez!" said the voice. Tor was sitting in a empty section of the audience nearby the entrance. He wanted to get his revenge on the wannabe who were friends with Silfers and Ras. He saw him walking into the arena with Nick and Syrus with Tor kicking the seat in front of him much to the confusion of the Obelisks. Shawn heard the kick and he thought,'I hope that I don't have to pay for the broken chair.'.

Nick said,"The acoustics are awesome in here! I wish I could be dueling!". "But you could be maybe expelled if you lose!" said Syrus. "Are you worried about me Sy? I mean it's touching but I will win this duel so don't worry." said Shawn. The two went into the stands with them not noticing that Tor was glaring at Shawn who was heading toward the platform. Tor held the arms of the seat with his hands turning white. "You are going to be kicked out for sure." said Tor.

Up higher in the stands, Kyle along with Zane were both glaring at Shawn with Zane thinking,'I don't think this duel is going to be a problem for Shawn since he defeated pros before he came here.'. 'You better not lose twerp. You beat me and you have your family watching you so don't dare lose to this guy.' thought Kyle. When Shawn got to the platform, Crowler turned to the audience with his hand in the air and Shawn sighed.

Crowler said,"We have the former Obelisk and also the Legacy Shawn Alvarez in this corner.". The crowd cheered for Shawn with Crowler said,"And in this corner, we have our special guest...". The audience was dead silent with them waiting for their duelist appear. Out of nowhere, two shining red eyes appeared from the darkness with everyone scared excluding Crowler who was laughing and the Legacy who wasn't scared of the dark.

"Oh Shawny. Don't you remember your old pal huh?" said a voice from the darkness. "No way." said Shawn who starting to shiver. The man he saw appeared. He looked to be at least eight feet tall. He was a Caucasian with red-hair. He was wearing a dark hat and a coat with the letter S on the right side and L on the left side. He wore a gold armor-like shirt with dark red pants and black boots. The thing that stuck out about him is the scars all over his faces and burn marks over his arms.

"Welcome to Duel Academy Ego, the Legend Slayer!" said Crowler and the crowd right above them murmuring to each other. "Ego the Legend Slayer!? He is supposed to be dead right?" said Alice. "I think that the last time anyone saw him was when Ryou dueled against him. There was a mighty fire and he died..." said Chazz who stunned to see him there. "He isn't what I expected at all. I thought he wouldn't be well so tall." said Clara.

Nick said,"He is a giant?!!!!". He sat with Chumley and Syrus with Syrus said,"I'm really lucky not to duel against him.". "Yeah but this duel isn't licious." said Chumley. "Crowler. You hired Ego? This is a little much." said Sheppard. "Chancellor Sheppard. When Doctor Crowler here told me that I would have a chance to duel against Legacy right here. I couldn't help myself. Lets just say that this kid and I have a bond don't we?" said Ego.

Shawn looked away and Crowler said,"Shawn here is a former pro after all and I think that Shawn can handed him right?". "Thanks a bunch Crowler. You sure have a lot of faith in me and I am still a pro just taking a short break for right now." said Shawn. "Okay. You will be paying for his cost out of your paycheck by the way." said Sheppard. Crowler fell to the ground after that as Bastion said,"I do think that Shawn is quite screwed.".

Rena said,"I hate to agree with him but he's right. Ego was almost able to defeat Ryou.". "You guys. I have known for Shawn for a long time and he wouldn't lose to someone who thinks that he is a scary monster." said Alexis. "I hope that Ego shows Shawn here how to duel and kick that bastard out of here for good!" said Tor. "Now duelist, shuffle your deck!" said Crowler. The two shuffled their decks and Crowler said,"Now exchange decks and shuffle again!".

The two shuffled each other decks and returned them. "You two return back to your sides." said the man?. They went back as Crowler said,"You two have competed in 8000 point duels before so I don't have to explain myself.. It is the same thing as a normal duel but with 8000 life points.". "Sure thing freakazoid." said Shawn. "Indeed." said Ego. "And begin!" said Crowler who ran off the arena. "Time to crush you Legacy!" said Ego who drew his starting hand. "Get your Game On!" said Shawn.

Shawn: 8000 Life Points.
Ego: 8000 Life points. 

Crowler looked at Shawn who wasn't showing it but he was freaking about see Ego and the professor thought,'I am going to enjoy watching you suffer Shawn and then you will be leaving Duel Academy. I don't care who your master was but you messed with me, you will be in pain.'. "I hope that this duel won't be too painful on you Shawn just my duel with your master." said Ego. "You lost to him and it is time for you to lose to me! I'll go first!" said Shawn.

He drew a card and he said,"I play the spell card Health X5!". A spell card with the number 5 over a duel disk appeared. "This increase my life points times their current amount!" said Shawn. The card glowed as Shawn said,"I now summon Shield Wizard in defense mode.". In a second, a wizard with a medium sized shield with him wearing a dark blue cloak with red crystals on it. (4/500/2000). "And I end my turn with a facedown!" said Shawn.

Shawn: 40000 Life Points.
Ego: 8000 Life points. 

A card appeared behind the wizard and Ego said,"You're a coward Legacy. I will make sure that your time here was short and sweet just like dear Maria.". Ego drew a card and he said,"I play the spell card Cost Down. I send this one card to my grave so that all of the monsters that are in my hand are two levels lower than they were. This helps me summon my Lesser Fiend in attack mode!". He put a card in his graveyard as a monster appeared.

Shawn suddenly saw a four-armed fiend with the head of a jackal and legs of a bear appeared in front of the giant. (5-3/2100/1000). "Show him what happens when you cower from a fight! Attack that coward with Dark Palm Strikes!" said Ego. Shawn saw his magician get destroyed by the fiend and it exploded in his face. "You do know that if my monster destroys a monster in battle, that monster now gets removed from play." said Ego.

Shawn said,"I know that and you should know that by destroying my magician while he is in defense mode lets me draw two cards right?". Shawn placed the monster in his pocket and then he drew two cards. "Man. Shawn isn't doing so hot despite him having more life points." said Syrus. "Yeah. He is letting Ego get to him. I mean he is scary." said Chumley. "Shawn! Don't let this freak scare you, you can win! I mean you're the Legacy!" said Nick.

Shawn said," I know.". "My turn will end with this. That card of yours is a bluff. The pain that your master and sister gave to me will be tripled no quadrupled in pain for sure! I promise you that!" said Ego. (3-5/2100/1000). He placed two cards behind his fiend as Shawn drew a card. "I summon Planetary Champion Mars in attack mode!" said Shawn. A explosion of flame appeared in front of Shawn with a humanoid shape with wings seen inside of the flame. It died out.

A woman stood there wearing a crimson red light body armor that cover her chest and shoulders. She was wearing midnight black gloves that covered her entire arm even under her body armor. She is wearing leggings and skirt that matched her gloves and armor's color respectively. She was wearing crimson red high heeled boots. The most obvious thing about her was her dragon wings which were scarlet red and they have a single gold strike on the top of them. (4/1900/1700).

Ego started laughing and he said,"So? That Magical girl won't do anything to my fiend!". "Did I say that I was done yet? I activate her special effect by sending my Shotgun Aegis equip spell card to the grave to activate her effect. Your fiend lose 900 attack points while my magical girl gains 400 attack points for every two levels that your monster has. Its level 5 so my girl gains 800 extra points." said Shawn. (Lesser Fiend: 5/2100-1200/1000). (PCM: 4/1900-2700/1700).

Zane thought,'That is an incredibly powerful ability. I wanted to face them now.'. "I didn't know that you had her in your deck. Go get them twerp." said Kyle who smiled. "By sending an equip spell card to the grave using her effect, I can equip it to a monster on my field and I pick my spellcaster. Arise Shotgun Aegis!" said Shawn. The spell card came out of the graveyard showing a shield with the same symbol as Excalibur.

Shawn said,"Normally, this spell wouldn't work on a spellcaster type monster but since my Champion is also counted as a warrior type monster. It works!". She held in the shield and Shawn said,"Since she is in attack mode, she gains some extra attack points equipped to her defense points and also the ability to inflict piercing damage.". She gained an orange color as Shawn said,"I now play the spell card Block Attack! I switch your monster to defense mode!". (4/2700-4200/1700).

The fiend took a new as Shawn said,"Show him your Blaze Inferno!". She nodded as she fired a huge fireball from her mouth at the fiend destroying it causing a lot of damage to Ego. "Alright! You got this Shawn!" said Alexis. "You idiot! I activate the card that I send to the graveyard. It is known as Pain Double! This trap only activates once I take damage. Now you take double damage when you take damage. I now play my face downs Coffin Seller and Michizure!" said Ego.

Shawn: 40000 Life Points.
Ego: 4800 Life points.

Shawn said,"No!". The spellcaster saw a translucent Lesser Fiend come from nowhere and she was destroyed. "The trap Michizure activates when you destroyed a monster on my field and it sends it to the graveyard but to add on your pain, I activated the trap Coffin Seller. You lose 300 life points for every monster sent to the graveyard but due to Pain Double, you take 600 life points. Feel my pain now!" said Ego. Shawn felt the pain and he said,"Ow.".

Shawn: 39400 Life Points.
Ego: 4800 Life points.

Shawn said,"I'm not done yet. By sending Shotgun Aegis to the graveyard, I can special summon a warrior type monster from my deck in any mode that I want. I pick Total Defense Shogun and I want it in defense mode.". A warrior appeared and Shawn said,"This summon counts as a normal summon so its special effect will activate on my next turn. I end my turn with a face down card. Your move Ego.". (6/1550/2500).

Ego drew a card and he said,"I think you need more pain. I play the secondary effect of Pain Double which means that I can draw three more cards!". He drew three more cards and he said,"I play the spell Meteor of Destruction!". "Uh oh." said all of Shawn's friends. Shawn blocked the meteor with his duel disk but he was still knocked back from it. Tor enjoying this along with Crowler but the Obelisk student was laughing at it.

Shawn: 37400 Life Points.
Ego: 4800 Life points.

Ego said,"I think I will bring out my Melchid the Four Faced Beast in attack mode!". The monster which is made up of four different masks. Two of them being red and two of them being yellow and Shawn said,"So what is that going to do?". (4/1500/1200). "I now play the field spell Mystic Plasma Zone, the equip spell Megamorph, and the equip spell Fairy Meteor Crush!" said Ego. Shawn then saw a dark hurricane appear over the field.

Ego said,"All Dark Attribute monsters gain 500 attack points and lose 400 defense points. Unlike, I don't care about hiding behind my monsters like a chicken and since you have way more life points than me, my monster's attack points are doubled! I also get to inflict piercing damage so enjoy this boy.". (4/1500-4000/1200-800). "Destroy that hero with your four-face slam!" said Ego. Shawn saw his monster get destroyed and Ego said,"You know that you take double damage right?".

Shawn screamed from the pain as Bastion said,"If this was a normal duel and he didn't play that spell at the beginning, he would have been done for.". "Bastion. You should be quiet." said Rena. The Ra saw Alexis glaring at him and he said,"Note taken.". "Shawn isn't doing good despite him having more life points than the titan over there." said Alice. "Don't worry Alice. Look. Shawn isn't done yet at all." said Chazz.  

Shawn: 34400 Life Points.
Ego: 4800 Life points.

Ego saw one of Shawn's face downs was Damage Condenser and he said,"By playing this trap, I send my Galaxy Zombie from my hand, I can special summon a monster with just as many attack points as the damage that I took! I can special summon a monster up to 3000 attack points and I got the perfect one! I special summon Terrestrial Hero Eclipse!". The field was cloaked in darkness and the crowd was scared. The darkness cleared to see a teenager standing there.

He look to be two years older than Shawn and like the last monster, he is wearing armor. It was heavy duty armor with red glowing lines going all over it and it covered up his chest, legs, and shoulders. He had muscles that fit his average looking size. He is wearing a mask that looks like a devil with his glowing gold eyes. He had two spears and they were attached to his arms. He had two giant wings made out of darkness and they had a gold spike on the top of them. (7/3000/2400).

Shawn reshuffled his desk as he said,"My hero is a dark attribute monster so your field spell helps me out.". The hero smiled as a dark aura surrounding him. (7/3000-3500/2400-2000). "You thought that I would be scared of that freak? Galaxy Zombie is a monster right? My Coffin Seller activates since I sent your warrior to the graveyard earlier and your zombie as well." said Ego. Shawn felt the cloaked monster take more damage from him.

Shawn: 33200 Life Points.
Ego: 4800 Life points.

Nick said,"That monster he summoned looks boss!". "Yeah but he lost a lot of life points doing it. It was way too risky." said Syrus. "Yeah." said Chumley. Alexis clenched the seat in front of her and she thought,'Shawn. Please don't anything risky. I don't want you to leave.'. "Alexis. Shawn isn't going to lose. This is part of his plan I hope." said Rena. "I end my turn and I can draw three cards due to Pain Double's effect." said Ego.

Shawn drew a card and he thought,'Okay. I can strike some more damage to him but Pain Double is a pain in my life points. I don't know if that pun was intended.'. "I activate my Galaxy Zombie's special effect. Since it went to the graveyard, he comes back but with an extra 100 attack points and defense points. It is also a dark attribute monster so my monster gains 500 more attack points but he lose 400 defense points. Arise Galaxy Zombie!" said Shawn.

A zombie rose next to the hero. It's skin was the universe itself and it said,"Me wants brains! And crush person who hurts Master Ryou.". (4/1500-2100/1600-1300). "Oh and now I activate my hero's special effect. For every monster on the field, he gains 500 attack and defense points for each one but it lose 200 attack and defense points if there is a light attribute monster. I don't see one so time for a power boost!" said Shawn.

The hero smiled as it grew stronger thanks to the fiend and zombie. (7/3500-4500/2000-3000). "I think I will play the always helpful spell Pot of Greed!" said Shawn. He drew the two cards from his deck and he said,"Check this out Ego. I play Cost Down. I send a card to my graveyard and I sent a trap card by the way. I won't be taking any damage from your Coffin Seller!". "That's great! It is your duel now Shawn!" yelled Alexis.

Ego said,"You're lucky kid. The pain and your fear of me will come back to haunt you!". "Thanks to this spell, I can now tribute my Galaxy Zombie which will come right back to summon Deimos, the Dark Empress!" said Shawn. The zombie was gone as the field was covered by red clouds. (7/4500-4000/3000-2500). "Arise and crush my enemies with your power!" yelled Shawn. Pink lightning then struck the ground. Shawn took damage from Ego's trap however.

Shawn: 32600 Life Points.
Ego: 4800 Life points.

Seven beams of light flew from the clouds.They were purple, red, cyan, blue, white, yellow, and green and they converge on a single point aka the place where the zombie once stood. Something appeared and it was indeed a woman due to her chest that rivaled Eileen's. She has multi-colored skin with the middle of her body being a wisteria color, the left side of her body is chalk white, and the right side of her body is magenta. She has some emerald green markings on random parts of her face.

She had a aqua blue teardrop jewel hanging under both of her eyes, two sky blue markings on the left and right side of her face that go from her forehead to her chin, and horns above her ears but it was hidden by her long luminous and voluminous gold hair that went down to her waist. She has two different eye colors with her left eye being blue and her right eye being red. She has a third eyes and it is vertically on her forehead in between her regular eyes.

She has rainbow (red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet) colored gems going across her entire body which were going to light up later on. She is wearing a scarlet red cape, She has gold elbow pads and midnight black knees pads. She is wearing a white dress that stops right at her thighs and had large gold pauldrons with matching gloves along with matching high heel boots. She is wearing a short white lace veil that covers up her face.

She has two large black demonic wings that has pink crystals on them. (8/4000/3500). "You brought me out huh Shawn. I guess you need me to defeat this one who hurt the old man right?" said Deimos who smiled. "Yes. You better follow my commands or else, you will be sent back into the trunk. I am here for the woman that I love and not revenge." said Shawn whose eyes turned a bright gold color. "Fine. I will enjoy hurting something for sure." said Deimos.

Shawn whose eyes returned back to normal said,"You know that my fairy is a dark attribute monster right? She gets stronger alongside my hero since a new monster has arrived to help me defeated you for sure. Oh and my zombie comes back by the way.". The zombie return to the field and his other monsters on Shawn's field grew stronger. (Deimos: 8/4000-4500/3500-3100). (Eclipse Hero: 7/4000-5000/2500-3500). (Galaxy: 4/2100-2200/1300-1400).

Chazz said,"Those three are deadly and this isn't looking good for Ego.". "I now attack that fiend with my fairy! Stream of Darkness!" said Shawn. The fairy smiled as she create a sphere of darkness in her left hand which turned into beams of darkness. She then fired it at the fiend with Ego said,"I now that you're going to try and destroy me with your monsters. I play a very powerful quick-play spell known as Pain Negation! During this turn, all damage given to me is turned to 0!".

Shawn said,"No!". The stream hit the fiend destroying it with Shawn said,"Fine. If you want me to give you my wrath, attack him now! Time for Shadow Burst and Galaxy Chomp!". (Eclipse: 7/5000-4500/3500-3000). The hero fired a burst of shadows at Ego with the zombie biting him. "You got this Shawn!" cheered Alexis. "You can handle this freak!" said Bastion. "Yeah!" said Rena. "Way to play Shawn!" said Nick. "Show them what we Slifers can do right!" said Chumley and Syrus.

Most of the crowd was on Shawn's side excluding two. "He is supposed to be destroy by now!" said Tor. "That Slifer needs to lose now!" said Crowler. "What was that?" said Sheppard. "Oh nothing. I hope that Shawn can do this." said Crowler. "You're just like your father. You will be slayed because I am the Legend Slayer!" said Ego. "I don't care! I end my turn with two face downs. I send Galaxy Zombie to the grave so I keep my fairy around." said Shawn. (Eclipse: 7/4500-4000/3000-2500).

The zombie was gone as Shawn said while taking the damage from Coffin Seller,"So answer me this Ego.". He then had three cards with each one behind one of his monsters and Ego said," So what is it boy?". "Why are you here?! I remember that you died! I know this because I saw it with my own two eyes and I never forgot!" yelled Shawn. "Oh. You were there when I took your dear older sister and you to get your master attention three years ago so let me show you!" said Ego.

Shawn: 32000 Life Points.
Ego: 4800 Life points.

Ego then took off his coat showing that his arms was covering in burns and some of the arms was pure darkness. Everyone in the arena was shocked to see this. "It was all your master's fault! I wanted to get his attention by kidnapping his daughter and his adopted student to get him killed because of my contractor." said Ego. "Yeah. I remember. Me and her were coming home from school and you kidnapped us for your gain! How did you get darkness on you?" said Shawn.

Ego said,"I used pyrotechnics to make you fear me but well, your master didn't get scared. He was worried about you and Maria's safety. He defeated me and I ran away. You being the Spirit Sorcerer is news that came to me after I became strong enough! I will bring eternal pain and you will die from it! If you win, I will tell you how!". "Shawn." said Rena. "Alexis. What does Ego mean by Shawn being the Spirit Sorcerer?" said Bastion.

Alexis said,"Let him tell you that. I think after this duel, Shawn has a lot to talk about.". "It is time for me to draw!" said Ego. He drew a card and he said,"I activate the effect of Pain Double! This lets me draw three more cards!". He added three cards to his hand and he said,"I will only set a monster face down. I get to draw three cards at the end of my turn.".(Eclipse: 7/4000-4500/2500-3000). A card appeared and Shawn said,"I guess you are scared of me and my power!".

Shawn drew a card and he said,"I now bring back my zombie! Attack that monster with your claws of terror Deimos!". (Galaxy Zombie: 4/2300/1500). (Eclipse: 7/4500-5000/3000-3500). The fairy smiled as she slashed the monster which was a small blue cyclops. (2/650/500). "You destroyed my Hiro's Shadow Scout. You now must draw three cards and send any spell cards directly to your grave!" said Ego.  (Eclipse: 7/5000-4500/3500-3000). Shawn drew three cards from his deck.

It was a trap card, a monster, and a spell card. It was Sabatiel- The Philosopher's Stone. Shawn glared at Ego who laughed at his pain. Alice said,"I really hope that wasn't a good one.". "It was. I think it is the card that Shawn used to win against Rena." said Chazz. "I now attack you directly with my other two monsters!" yelled Shawn. "I send Kuriboh to the graveyard to turn all battle damage to zero once again!" yelled Ego.

The attacks hit once again but Ego didn't take any damage. "I guess I'll end my turn by sending my zombie back to the grave to keep Deimos around. He will be coming back." said Shawn.  (Eclipse: 7/4500-4000/3000-2500). "Good. I draw a card!" said Ego. He then looked at his hand and he said,"I play the spell cards Hinotama, Ookazi, and Thunder Short plus Coffin Seller! You take 4800 points of damage!". Shawn screamed from the explosion along with meteors and lightning bolts and ghosts.

Shawn: 27200 Life Points.
Ego: 4800 Life points.

Ego and Tor laughed at Shawn who was taking deep breaths. "I guess that you having your duel disk on your right arm meaning only one thing. The pain that you take is real!" said Ego. "You're right and I won't give up." said Shawn. "I summon another monster in defense mode to end my turn which means one thing. I get to draw three cards!" said Ego. (Eclipse: 7/4000-4500/2500-3000). His turn ended and Shawn drew a card. 'I got this now and I won't let anything stop me!' thought Shawn.

Shawn said,"I first bring back my zombie and then I play the continuous spell card. Armageddon Incoming!". (4/2400/1600). (7/4500-5000/3000-3500). The field was now pure darkness with tints of red in it. "What do this spell card do? I want an answer right now!" said Ego. "This is my power. To activate Armageddon Incoming, I first have to send Deimos to the graveyard which she doesn't mind right?" said Shawn.

Deimos smiled as she said,"If you're bring out him, I'm all for it.". She exploded as Shawn said,"I now send my Galaxy Zombie to my graveyard but he isn't coming back this time. I remove it from play to activate Armageddon Incoming as well! My hero may lose power but what I have in store for you is far worse than them combined.". The fairy zombie was gone as the hero lost some power from being gone. (7/5000-4000/3500-2500).

Shawn however took damage from Coffin Seller. "I play the spell card Lucky Hand! This card lets me draw 5 cards!". He drew five more cards and he said,"To start this attack. I now summon Celtic Guardian in attack mode!". The famous male elf knight stood there in his green armor with sword stood there. (4/1400/1200). (7/4000-4500/2500-3000). "Attack that face down monster Eclipse!" said Shawn. The hero destroyed the card with Ego laughing.

Ego said,"That was my Newdoria you idiot! Say good bye to your hero!". Nick said,"Dang. That isn't good.". "What do you mean?" said Chumley and Syrus. "When Newdoria is destroyed, Ego gets to destroy one monster of his choosing." said Nick. A fiend with red skiin and wearing a black vest and green pants jumped onto Eclipse with them exploding. "Yes! You are going to lose!" yelled Ego. The smoke cleared as Shawn said,"I guess you should look up.".

The hero was still there. Shawn said,"So did I forget to mention that my hero is immune to monster effects along with trap cards so I hope you are hoping to fight my warrior now! Attack!". The warrior slashed Ego with the slayer growling. Alice saw a giant gold star from the left side of the field and she said,'So what is that?". "I don't know." said Clara. "This is the first time that I've even this card but it must be like a ritual spell in a sense," said Chazz.

Shawn: 26000 Life Points.
Ego: 3400 Life points.

Shawn said,"I think I will end my turn with that. Your move .". Ego drew a card and he said,"You still have more life points than me. I play the spell card Tremendous Fire and Fissure. I better that your hero is able to be effected by spells and I may take 500 points of damage but the 2600 points of damage thanks to the fire and Coffin Seller will be worth it!". The fire appeared as Shawn screamed from losing his hero and being burned. Another gold star appeared.

Shawn: 23400 Life Points.
Ego: 2900 Life points.

Most of the crowd wasn't happy about hearing him screaming mainly Shawn's friend but some of the crowd was enjoying it mainly Tor and a couple of students. "This duel hasn't been good for him at. I want him to suffer for hurting him." said Brian. Some of Shawn's spirits were watching the duel as Ego said,"I play the spells Brain Control and Premature Burial! I don't care if I lose 1600 life points but making you bleed is worth it!".

Shawn: 23400 Life Points.
Ego: 1300 Life points.

Ego said,"I think your elf wants to come over here.". The warrior walked over to Ego and Shawn then gripped his right hand. "I now activate Premature Burial so arise Four-Faced Beast!" said Ego. The fiend return to field. (4/2000/800). "This isn't looking good. Due to Ego's cards, Shawn will take 6800 points of damage." said Bastion. "I could attack you with these monsters but I won't. I think I have a monster worth enough to give you pain!" said Ego.

Shawn said,'What are you taking about freak?". "This monster shows true fear to an opponent and a powerful fiend that's only rivaled by the Egyptian Gods!" said Ego. "No. It can't be. That card is the one that almost defeated Ryou." said Brian. "I send these two monsters to the graveyard and since one of them is your monster, enjoy the pain of Coffin Seller!" said Ego. Shawn felt the pain and Ego said,"I now summon the last monster you will see!".  Two Gold Stars appeared.

Shawn: 22800 Life Points.
Ego: 1300 Life points.

He slammed a card down on his disk and suddenly a flaming portal appeared from the ground with flames coming out of it. "I hope this doesn't hurt that much." said Shawn. "Don't give up Shawn! You can still beat him!" said Alexis. "Your doom is here!" said Ego. A giant flaming hand appeared came out of the portal and Syrus said,"This isn't looking good at all.". A head appeared out of the portal as it has red, two giant dark eyes, and yellow horns from the side. (10/3500/3000).

Ego yelled,"Arise my ULTIMATE OBEDIENT FIEND!". Tor stood up and he yelled,"Yes! Show him what happens when you mess with an Obelisk!". "That guy. That is one of the strongest monsters even more than Shawn's Satanic Oberon." said Bastion. "This isn't good." said Rena. 'Shawn doesn't have any monsters on his field but he does have those face downs. Don't lose.' thought Alexis. "Your fiend has a weakness!" said Shawn.

Ego looked at him as Shawn said,"It can only attack if you have no cards in your hand and only him on your field! If my eyes are working right which they are, I see your face down and those cards in your hand stopping it in its tracks!". "Oh yes. I play the spell Bait Doll!" said Ego. "So you are going to make one of my cards come out to play huh. Then bring it!" said Shawn. 'I think that my three spells will make this move pointless!' thought Shawn.

Ego said,"Oh child. I won't be doing this at all.". "Huh?" said the crowd. "The last time that I did that move, I lost the duel! I will be picking my card! So activate it." said Ego. The tiny doll fell onto the card and it was then hit with a chibi scythe that struck the doll and card forcing it to appear. "This is my Pain Quadruple! By sending this card to the grave, my entire hand get send to the graveyard and my Bait Doll goes back to his Deck! You now quadruple the damage!" yelled Ego.

He send Bait Doll back to his deck and the fiend rose from the portal showing off it being tall and it was halfway to the ceiling. "Attack him directly!" yelled Ego. The fist hit Shawn launching him to the ground. "Shawn!" yelled all of Shawn's friends. Shawn stood back up and he said,"I now play one of my face downs!". The card in the middle showed Satanic Oberon standing there with four ghostly hands grabbing a evil kind behind him.

Shawn: 8800 Life Points.
Ego: 1300 Life points.

Shawn said,"This spell card is Fairy King's Wrath! By sending my entire hand to the graveyard which is nothing but spells and traps by the way, I get to special summon four monsters from my deck or my graveyard! I pick my Dark Magician, Summoned Skull, Red Eyes Black Dragon, and Buster Blader to come out and play!". The four famous monsters appeared in defense mode and Shawn said,"Thanks to your field spell, three of my monsters get more power!".

Brian smiled along with the fiend and dragon and Shawn said,"You'll soon be fearing my wrath soon enough.". (Dark Magician: 7/3000/1700). (Summoned Skull: 6/3000/800). (Red Eyes Black Dragon: 7/2900/1600). "That is funny kid! I end my turn!" said Ego. Shawn drew a card and he said,"I now activate my face down! Mystic Space Typhoon! Send that coffin to the graveyard where it belongs now!".

The storm destroyed the card which made Shawn's friends take a sigh of relief. "Dam it!" yelled Tor who kicked the chair in front of him. "I play the spell Card of Sanctity! This lets both draw up to six cards which also negates your pesky fiend." said Shawn. The two both drew six cards as Shawn said with a smile,"THIS DUEL IS NOW OVER! I HAVE ALL THE CARDS THAT I NEEDED TO DESTROY YOU AND YOUR DARKNESS!".

His eyes were now bright gold and Shawn said,"I now play the spell Unlimited Summon! This spell lets me keep on summoning until the end of my turn! I now play my two Polymerization! I fuse Dark Magician and Buster Blader to summon Dark Paladin! I fuse Summoned Skull and Red Eyes Black Dragon to summon B. Skull Dragon! You may be thinking why I would do this due to Pain Quadruple but Unlimited Summon removes that card from play!".

Tor said,"What?!". Ego groaned as Shawn said,"Come to my field!". The four monsters then fused together as two new monsters stood there. One was made famous thanks to Joey and Yugi's Tag Duel against the Paradox Brothers and the other one was made famous thanks to Kaiba and Yugi's Duel in Battle City. (B. Skull Dragon: 9/3200/2500). (Dark Paladin: 8/2900/2400).  Four golden stars then appeared in the sky making eight.

Shawn said,"They may be weak now but right now, it's time to Power Up for real! Time to show you why they call me the Legacy and the Spirit Sorcerer!". His entire body then started to glow gold with everyone on the field being blinded by its power. The glow was gone as Ego saw Shawn standing there and he looked angry. "I now play the spell card Galaxy Force!" said Shawn as a spell card with the galaxy in the background and the letter F is a golden color stood there.

Shawn said,"This spell represent the power of the Universes above and my connection to all of the people here at Duel Academy and Revolution City! I won't let you destroy them by kicking me out! I have a reason for being here and that will keep me powered up! This lets my monsters gain 1000 attack points for every monster that is in my graveyard and remove from play! Also don't forget about your field spell and my Dark Paladin's special effect!".

The two monsters on the field grew stronger while the fiend looked at them with terror on its face and Shawn said,"You must know that Planetary Champion Mars and Terrestrial Hero Eclipse count as dragon type monsters." (B. Skull Dragon: 9/3200-15200/2500-13100). (Dark Paladin: 8/2900-16400/2400-13000). "I'm not done yet! I'm here to deliver the pain for what you did to me and my family! I play my face downs Bonds of Battle and Eternal Friendship!" said Shawn.

Two cards flipped up. One was a trap card where two fighters were shaking hands with the two were covering in bruises and they were both laughing and smiling. The other card was a spell card with a human shaking hands with an alien. "Bonds of Battle gives me the ability to special summon a monster from my hand with the ability not to be able to destroy in battle while Eternal Friendship says the same but it can attack for as many monsters in my grave." said Shawn.

Kyle thought,'I think Ego and everyone here is learning quick that pissing Shawn off is a bad thing. I wonder if he will forgive me for that crap I put him through when we were kids.'. "Now I summon Desperado with Bonds of Battle!" said Shawn. The cowboy stood there and he aimed his guns at the demons with him smiling. (8/2800/2500). "Now, Hero from the East! Silent Beauty with Eternal Friendship!" said Shawn. The field was covered in flower petals as a woman was stood there.

She was an extremely attractive red haired woman with her being slightly shorter than Johnny aka Desperado and having a slender figure. She has her shoulder length hair tied up at the back of her head like a ponytail and it is held there with a kunai. She is wearing a black kimono decorated with sakura blossom without sleeves and exposing both of her legs. It is held up by a red obi. She wears fishnet stockings and black high-heel boots that reach just below the knee. (8/2800/2500).

Johnny said,"Hey Akari. You're looking fine.". He barely dodged a kunai aimed at his face as Akari said,"Focus. He is going to be here soon once Shawn here activates that card.". "K." said Johnny who grumbled something. "I now play the spell Spirit Force and finally activate my continuous spell card Armageddon Incoming! Spirit Force allows my monsters an extra attack for each monster in my graveyard while I need to send this monster to bring Armageddon here!" said Shawn.

Shawn placed a card in the graveyard as Shawn said,"I now special summon from my deck! This monster is stronger than the Egyptian Gods, Sacred Beasts, and Wicked Gods combined! This is Armageddon!". The eight gold stars in the sky collided into one giant star and it came crashing down on the ground. A extremely tall and strong man stood there and he looking like an anti-hero with his black and red costume along with the chains around his body.

He gain power from the field spell. (12/8500/7600). Nick said,"Awesome!". "Yeah but it sure looks scary to begin with." said Chumley. The warrior then looked at Shawn and he said,"Shawn. After we destroy Ego, I will be erasing everyone's memories of you being the Spirit Sorcerer. I will let the new Karen keep her memory. You will be telling her about you soon and everyone will find about you but not now.".

Shawn said,"Attack him.". The five rushed toward the fiend with them causing a huge explosion on Ego's side of the field. Crowler and Tor's mouth were open wide as Ego was out cold. Armageddon before he disappeared erase everyone's memories and he glared at Ego with him getting rid of the darkness over his body. Shawn took a deep breath and he said,"And that's game!". The crowd then cheered for him.

Shawn: 8800 Life Points. Winner!
Ego: 0 Life points.

Chapter 10: Rumor King vs Spirit Sorcerer!
Shawn P.O.V.
A week has passed here since my duel against Ego who tried to hurt my master three years ago and things have changed for the better in my opinion. I using my adopted family's money to help building a extremely better version of the Slifer Red Dorm and a slightly better Ra Yellow Dorm. I also made girl version of the two with money because my adopted daddy makes a lot of money and you really wish that I was kidding about that but nope. I'm not.

These two things pissed off Crowler to no end. I think he hated that I was still here and that I defeat Ego with Ego leaving shortly after. Armageddon told me that all of the darkness that Ego had inside of him was from the Gentle Darkness and not from the person who controls is known as the Supreme King. As the Spirit Sorcerer, I'm the middleman between the Gentle Darkness which are the good guys compared to the Light of Destruction who are evil and their leader Luminous Emperor.

My job is to stop one side from going over control and I'm pretty good at my job if you ask me but I could be wrong. Anyway, I think that 55% of the girls in Obelisk Blue had to move to either Slifer Red or Ra Yellow mainly the latter. I was shocked to hear that Jasmine and Mindy were actually incredible smart and pretty good duelist. I guess the expression don't judge a book by its cover applies to these two.

To be honest with you, I think that if I didn't become a pro duelist, I would be a teacher because my job is helping teaching how to do Synchro Summon and XYZ Summon. It has been a struggle but they are getting the basic of it. I have been trying to get the three dorms to be friends but well, the hate is still there between us Slifers and Obelisks. It isn't like the Jet and Sharks but it is bad to say the least. Anyone, lets begin with baseball. Yeah.

Narrator P.O.V.
It was a game of Baseball between the Slifers Boys and Ra Boys. The Slifers were up to bat with the Ra on the outfield. They were all in their white and blue gym clothes with the Slifers and Ras having red and yellow bandannas on their arms. It was currently the top of the ninth with the Slifers leading 7-0. It was two outs and the second and third bases were loaded. The next Slifer up to bat is the Spirit Sorcerer Shawn Alvarez.

Syrus yelled from the sidelines,"You got this Shawn! Eye of the Tiger and the ball!". "I can do that Sy because I can knock this ball out of the back winning us the game." said Shawn. "Keep Dreaming on Alvarez!" said Nick who was the catcher from Ra. "I think we just need to get three strikes and you're out of here!" said Nick. "You know that I struck you out with my bad hand right?" said Shawn. The Hero duelist growled as he remembered missing.

Nick said,"You just got lucky is all.". "Hold on! Time out!" said a voice who was running into the baseball field. It was Bastion Misawa. "I was nose deep into some attack point quantum mechanics and I lost track of time." said Bastion. "Wow. That is pretty sad." said a Ra Yellow who was consider to be a joker with his deck fitting that theme. "So you can throw?" said another Ra Yellow. "I sure can and striking out Shawn will be...." said Bastion.

The Ra Yellow said,"Whatever Bastion. Pitcher Change!". The tired pitcher left the field for Bastion to take up the mount. "You know that this isn't a exam right? I hope you know what you are getting into." said Shawn who was getting ready to win. "You know that you shouldn't judge a book by its cover Shawn." said Nick. "I do believe that Mr. Conner is right, Shawn. Get ready because this ball is coming in hot!" said Bastion who threw the ball.

The ball came toward Shawn whose eyes glowed brighter. He hit the ball with the ball flying far and the Ras were shocked by this. Shawn said,"Oh. I guess I'm way better than I thought.". The ball was then flying in the air with Crowler walking by the field. "Why can't Shawn be defeated? He defeated Ego and Chazz! I need someone to beat him....AAH!" said Crowler. His ranting was stopped by the ball which went right to his left eye and into some baseball equipment. "Heads up!" said a voice.

Crowler got out of the equipment and he saw his most hated student/teacher standing there with his sidekick Syrus. "YOU! I KNEW THAT YOU WOULD BE CAUSING ME INTENSE PAIN!" yelled Crowler. "Wow. You're really good at keeping an eye on the ball Crowler." said Syrus. "Nice." said Shawn. The head professor had the ball lodged in the eye and Shawn said,"I should say that I'm sorry but this is for making me duel to keep me here so smile.".

Bastion ran up to the two and he said,"It is my fault! I am the one who threw the ball....". He was on a tangent about science with Crowler saying,"Of course.". "So why isn't he changing his mood when talking to Bastion?" said Karen. "He hates little old me." said Shawn in his head. "Ah." said Karen with her figuring it out. "Here I was looking for a new accomplice. It hits me right in the face." said Crowler. "But teach, you got hit in the eye." said Shawn.

Crowler glared at Shawn and Bastion said,"Please accept my apologies Dr. Crowler.". He was bowing and Shawn coughed under his breath,"Suck up!". "It isn't your fault. I have been meaning to have my contacts refitted for ages and now I have the perfect change to do that." said Crowler. "I think that Cyclops wants to use Bastion for something." said Darren. "So what are you taking about teach? Is it my paycheck?" said Shawn.

Crowler saw the two Slifers standing there. "Do you two mind?!" yelled Crowler. "Sorry teach. We should go taunting the other Ra students." said Shawn who then starting walking away. "I really don't get you sometimes Shawn." said Syrus who joined him. "You really shouldn't be taking with those slackers mainly Shawn. I think that it is time for you to associate yourself with someone more on your level like me.

Later, Nick was waiting for Crowler since he was talking with Bastion and also he was teaching class right now. Julie was sitting next to him and she said,"So how badly did you guys lose?". "Really bad Jul. I mean Shawn's arms are like Bazookas." said Nick. The two Ra didn't see the boy in question and Julie said,"Anyway, do you know why Crowler wanted to talk with Bastion?". "Not at all. I went over there to get away from Shawn and I saw him leaving with Crowler." said Nick.

Julie said,"I thought since he tried to get Shawn expelled, I thought he wouldn't want to be seen with anyone who was friends with Shawn.". "Yeah. He is a strange dude." said Nick. The two heard the door and Nick thought it was Crowler to finish the day but it was someone worse than him. It was an Obelisk Blue who was extremely pompous and this is considered how pompous some Obelisk can even be.

It was a boy with green hair and orange eyes. Nick said,"So who is he?". "That is Raku Hansen and he is like Tor but hundred percent worse." said Julie. "You serious? He is worse than Tor?" said Nick who looked shocked. "Yes. I heard that for three years in Duel Monsters Prep, he basically acted like a dense idiot and made over five girls fall in love only for him to break their heart." said Julie. "What a jerk and I thought that Kyle was bad." said Nick.

Raku went toward the top of the stadium-style room and he said while snapping his fingers,"It is good to be at the top! Hey you peasants! Give me a foot rub and a ice tea, now!". "Your legs aren't broken. Get it yourself." said a random Obelisk. "What did you say to me? I didn't hear you and I am better than you." said Raku. "Hey Raku. What are you doing?" said Rai. "Uh. I"m sitting in my seat Rai. What does it look like?" said Raku.

Tor said,"You know that you don't sit there anymore right?". "You're an idiot. This seat belongs to me and my name is right...." said Raku. He looked again with his name tag that he put himself to prove that he is better than everyone wasn't there. "What the?!" said Raku. "Your name tag is down there dumbass." said Tor. He then pointed to a seat at the bottom near the Ra Yellows and it was in front of where Julie and Nick were.

Julie said,"So do you think we can convince Crowler to move us? I really don't want to be near him at all.". "I don't think anyone does Jul." said Nick. "No way, this has to be some mistake! The Next King of Games shouldn't sit with those third-rates idiots!" yelled Raku. It was then Dr. Crowler came in with Shawn who had a big grin on his face. "Dr. Crowler, what is the meaning of this?! I am a great Obelisk and not a Loser Ra!" yelled Raku.

Crowler ,who still had his shiner from earlier, said,"I wouldn't say that at all Raku. Thanks to this one right here, he informed me about your behavior and I think that a good Obelisk shouldn't act like that at all. You will be dueling against Bastion Misawa and if you lose, I think you two will be switching dorms.". "Yep. I think this is the only time that we have agreed on anything eh Cyclops?" said Shawn who pissed off Crowler.

Raku said,"So I'll be a Ra Reject?". "I guess you're smart than I thought." said Crowler who laughed at him along with the other Obelisks excluding Chazz and Clara. Raku ran out of the room with him yelling,"I WON'T BE A RA!". "I guess we know why Crowler wanted to talk with our good friend Bastion." said Nick. Shawn walked over to the two of them and he said,"Yeah. I do think that Raku needed to be taken down a peg or two.".

Julie said,"Yeah. I agree with you on that but you two agreed on something? I thought he hated your guts.". "Who knows why he agreed with me but I don't think that Bastion will be switching dorms. I see him as a person who wants to prove himself through his academic skills." said Shawn. "Yeah. He wouldn't do that. It's good for him to get into a higher dorm though." said Nick. "We're going to meet up with him later so lets talk with him then." said Julie.

Later, Bastion, Syrus, and Shawn who was ditching class was heading toward the Ra dorm. Bastion and Syrus were on their free time while Shawn had a spirit taking notes for him. This may be a bad use for his powers but his spirit volunteered for this. "Okay. Despite you guys losing, that was an awesome throw Bastion." said Shawn. "You must hate to lose huh Shawn?" said Syrus. "I think that we share something in common." said Bastion.

Syrus said,"Is it that you're both smart or is that you hate to lose?". "It is this." said Bastion. He then show the two a baseball bat with several formulas, that looked extremely complicated to say the very least, written on it. "I find that life has statistics, geometry, and mathematics. It can be used for gain or losing life points or hitting home runs or how many helpings of dinner we have." said Bastion. "I think that is hurting Syrus's brain." said Shawn.

Syrus ,after recovering from his mind explosion, said,"So do you have a formula for everything?". "I will show you." said Bastion. While in the Ra Yellow Dorm, Syrus was impressed with the remodel from Shawn's remodel. "You did a fantastic job Shawn." said Bastion. 'Well shuck. Mighty kind of you." said Shawn. "Do you think that you can't stop with the awful western accent. It is worse that Johnny." said Darren.

Bastion lead the two Slifers to his room which was on the second floor and Bastion said,"Nicholas's room is across from mine and what is the word to describe it?". "Awful?" said Syrus. "I think it is a pig style." said Bastion while opening his door. The two Slifers were shocked to see that Bastion's room was completely covered with equations and formulas. "So does this guy get out much?" said Darren. "I don't think so. He is pretty much a nerd." said Karen.

Bastion said,"Welcome to my room or should I say my lab/workshop?". He pointed to the wall where his desk was at and he said,"Those are my formulas for spell cards.". He pointed to the wall with the window and he said,"And I think you get my point here gentlemen. I have cracked the ability to beat almost every card but you can see that I'm running out of room. So....". He held up a mop and paint bucket and said,"Mind helping? Nick promised to help me but ....".

Syrus said,"Nick failed a test?". "Nick forget that he was spending time with Julie who hates when he does that?" said Shawn. "I think you two are both right. Do you mind?" said Syrus. "Sure." said the two Slifers. The three were whitewash the walls of the dorm room. "Hey check out you guys. I'm that one guy. I think he is a ninja turtle." said Shawn while he was standing on a step ladder. The boy then lost his footing causing his brush that he was holding went right toward Syrus's face.

Syrus said,"You know that this means war right?". "Okay Sy, you should know that it was an accident so I should..." said Shawn. Syrus was picking a paint bucket and was about to throw it. "You two are not...." said Bastion who got hit with the paint from Syrus's throw. Bastion said,"Oh. I see.". He threw the paint rag at Shawn who dodged it again to hit Syrus. The two had a paint war while Shawn sat on the outside looking at his deck.

After Shawn stopped them, they finished painting the room and after Bastion and Syrus cleaned up, it was a shock to Syrus mainly that Bastion invited him to the Ra Yellow cafeteria. Shawn remembered eating here before and he smiled to see that Julie and Nick were eating together. He took a picture with his cell phone since the guy who made his custom disk was upgraded it. "You are using this for blackmail aren't you?" said Karen. "Nice job Shawn." said Darren.

Bastion said,"Hello there my friends.". "Hey Bastion!" said Julie. "So what's up? You brought Shawn and Syrus to paint your room?" said Nick. "I would have asked you but Julie needed you for failing a test. I invited them to dinner as a reward." said Bastion. "Then join us then." said Nick who tried to ignore Julie's stare of death. "Yeah. It is seafood day so we got fish and lobsters!" said Julie. The Ra trio saw that the Slifer Duo was gone.

They went to the buffet line and they grabbed some fish before sitting down in front of the duo. They then devour their food with Shawn's amount being slightly more than Syrus. Bastion followed their lead except he wasn't eating like that. "So are they alright?" said Julie. "You haven't eaten Slifer Red food before Jul. This is an normal reaction." said Nick. "Yeah but you guys should try Shawn's great cooking." said Syrus.

Bastion said,"And how good is his cooking Syrus? I would ask him but well....". Shawn was pretty much eating like crazy and Syrus said,"Banner's cat loves him since he can make fish better than his owner can and this food is way better than what we had before.". "It is a good thing that Shawn is now really rich according to Chazz. You guys were like bottom dwellers before." said Julie. "So why did Crowler want to talk about you in the first place Bastion?" said Syrus.

Bastion said,"He wants me to be an Obelisk Blue replacing Mr. Hanson.". "That's just wow. I mean what made him think that?" said Syrus. "Yeah. He and Shawn agreed on it." said Julie. "They agreed on something?!" said Syrus. "Yeah. It was a shocker to us too. You totally deserve it man because you are nice unlike Tor." said Nick. "Thank you for that." said Bastion. The four went back to eating with Shawn noticing Bastion's sad smile on his face.

Meanwhile in the Obelisk Blue boys's dorm, Raku was currently taking to some not so nice folks aka his older brother Lewis and sister Janet who complete each other's sentences because well, they are twins. They looked older version of Raku but well, Janet is an older female version of him. They are talking on the video screen communicator which was also a flat screen TV. So the moral of the story is that if you're rich, you can do anything with it.

Janet said,"Do you get it Raku?". "I got it sis." said Raku in a monotone voice. "We didn't hear you so could you say it again?" said Lewis. "I got it!" said Raku. Somehow, the word got out to his family that his position among the elite was in danger and they came to check up on him. "Well you better. I hate that both the Princetons and the Reynolds are a higher rank than us in the Political World and the Financial World." said Janet.

Raku was ignoring the two since they were talking about their plan to rule the world through the three major things in the world at this time being politics, finance, and duel monsters. Once the two finish the speech, Raku turned off the screen. 'I will get the person who told them about this. I am the one who spreads the rumors around here as the Rumor King! I wonder if I can find any thing on Bastion to get some dirt on him.' thought Raku who left the room.

He hid in the bushes as he saw Bastion walking with Nick and Syrus. 'I better that Bastion is heading to the Slifer Dorm to spend the night with Nick going with them since he is well a slob. I better that his dorm room is now empty! I better get some revenge on him!' thought Raku. When he saw the trio leaving, the Obelisk decided to make a plan but he didn't see Chazz standing there. He pulled out his P.D.A to text someone about something before heading back to the dorm.

Back at the Slifer Dorm, Nick and Bastion were sound asleep in Chumley and Syrus's room. The two shared a mattress as the two were snoring like crazy with the Slifers watching them. "So why is Nick and the Ra here Sy?" said Chumley. "Shawn and I helped painted Bastion aka the Ra's room and we are letting him stay here since he well feed us. Shawn is back at the Ra Dorm cleaning Nick's room since well, it is a..." said Syrus. "A mess." said Chumley. "Right." said Syrus.

In the morning at the Ra Dorm, Raku sneaked into the dorm with ease since the security guard wasn't very good at his job. He went up to the dorm room and as he put his hand on the door knob, he saw the desk up against the wall next to the door. He opened the drawer and he found a deck. He looked through it and he recalled that it was the deck that Bastion used during both the Entrance Exam and the Promotion Exam and he smiled that would rival the Cheshire Cat.

Raku said,"There isn't going to be a duel if that nerd doesn't have a deck! He may be even kicked out even!". "Hey Bastion. You and Julie should really tell Nick to clean his room. I mean it was like a pit in there." said a voice. Shawn stood there with a cup of coffee in his red shirt and pajama pants. He saw him take the deck and he said,"Hey!". Raku was gone and Shawn ran after him once he placed the coffee down.

Shawn said,"Get back here Hanson or else!". The chase went all the way to the docks where Raku stopped because Shawn cornered him. "You have nowhere to hide Raku so give me the deck or else I will be mad and you wouldn't like me when I'm angry." said Shawn. "Oh I'm so scared. I lead you because I wanted to do this!" said Raku. He then threw Bastion's deck directly into the ocean. Shawn then clenched his left fist so hard that his palms were bleeding.

Raku yelled,"Now! I won't have anyone taking my spot!". "Guess again!" said a voice. Alexis ran onto the scene wearing her uniform. She woke up earlier and she ran over to Shawn with her duel disk. She saw the cards in the water and she whispered to Shawn,"He took the bait?". "Yeah. You're so sad Raku. I mean just wow." said Shawn. "So?! Who cares what a Slifer Sludge thinks!? I am the best not you!" said Raku.

Shawn said,"So trashing someone's deck makes you better? That's just wow Raku.". "You may just well give you on going to your duel if this is how you treat your opponent." said Alexis. "How about you shut up?! You're just a weak girl if you're friends with this Slifer Trash!" said Raku. "Okay. You are going to be thrown in the...." said Shawn. Alexis stopped him and he said,"Lex. "Do you have your deck Hanson?" said Alexis.

Raku started laughing and he said,"Are you serious? You think that you can defeat me?". "You should be able to defeat me then. I think you're going to learn what happens when you mess with my pride Raku." said Alexis. "You got this loser Lex." said Shawn. He sat down by the two nearby and the two activate their duel disks. "I was going to make fun of your friend here but you will do find since you are friends with them." said Raku.

Raku: 4000 Points.
Alexis: 4000 Points.

Shawn said,"So why do most of the Obelisk hate my guts?". "You shouldn't be around Alexis! You are just trash compared to me." said Raku. "At least he's kind unlike you." said Karen. "Shawn. I demand you for you to duel him after her." said Darren. "Hurry up and make your first move." said Alexis. "I guess you want to lose. I play the spell Cost Down and I summon Helpoemer in attack mode!" said Raku.

A blue fiend with its skin decaying and holding an a stone slab stood there. (5-3/2000/1400). "You got no chance of beating me so I end my turn!" said Raku. "After what you did to Bastion! I will destroy your monster and you in a single turn!" said Alexis who basically ripped off the top card of her deck. "I think that you should get her mad." said Darren and Karen. "Yeah." said Shawn. "I'm sure that you don't have Exodia so hit me with your best shot!" said Raku.

Alexis said,"I play the spell card Polymerization to fuse together my Blade Skater and Etoile Cyber to summon Cyber Blader!". The ballerina appeared on the field with Raku laughing at the side of her monster. (6/2100/1200). "That's just sad. I guess you don't have a monster strong enough to defeat him at all." said Raku. "I play the equip spells Fusion Weapon and Big Bang Shot! This gives my ballerina some extra points!" said Alexis.

The ballerina smiled at the extra power. (6/2100-4000/1200). "So what? If you destroy my monster, I only lose half of my life points!" said Raku. "I play the spell Drain Ribbon. This spell decreases all of the attack and defense points of your monster. Finish him off Blader!" said Alexis. The ballerina then kicked the fiend straight in its guts defeating Raku in one kick. Raku growled as Shawn said,"I'm impressed to say the least.".

Raku: 0 Points.
Alexis: 4000 Points. Winner!

Alexis turned off her disk and she said,"I think you got served a lesson Raku.". "Yeah." said Shawn who didn't want to piss her off. The two walked away as Raku walked out with a pissed off look. He may have lost to that girl but he got the job done. He had a feeling that no one else saw the duel but he forgot about a certain Obelisk who hangs out at the docks nearby the lighthouse. His name is Zane and he is currently with Chazz who was quiet.

Later on that day, Nick, Syrus, and Bastion were rudely awaken by someone slamming on the door to the room. "Nick! Nick!" said a voice. Nick got up and he saw that it was Ms. Dorothy aka the owner of the card shop. "So what's up?" said Nick. "I was unloading some supplies from the docks when I saw them aka cards everywhere in the water!" said Dorothy. The three first years ran out of the dorm room with Chumley sleeping.

The trio found out that Dorothy was right being that there was a bunch of cards. "Hey! That is Scrap Iron Scarecrow!" said Nick who was pointing to at a trap card. "And Gemini Elf!" said Syrus who was pointing at a monster card. "Hey Bastion. Don't these cards look familiar?" said Nick.. "Shawn used them in his own duels. He thought that someone would try to get me to not duel Raku today so he placed some cards there to confuse the person." said Bastion.

Syrus said,"Who would do something like that?". "I don't know but they're going to pay if I find out who it is." said Nick who crackled his knuckles. "We should get going. The duel is in less than a hour so what are you going to do?" said Syrus. "Just leave it to the Legacy." said Bastion. "Ah. That sound like a good plan." said Nick and Syrus. The three left the docks and they head to the main dueling arena.

The three saw Dr. Crowler and Raku standing there and waiting. "Bastion. You finally made it." said Crowler. He saw Syrus and he said,"And you brought the hero boy and Zane Jr.". "I wonder you duel better those two losers." said Raku. "You're the guy who chucked those cards into the ocean. That is so not cool!" said Nick. "What?" said Crowler. "Ignore that former Slifer Dr. Crowler. I didn't do a thing." said Raku. "That's a lie." said a voice.

Everyone there saw Alexis, Chazz, Julie, and Zane standing there. "We saw you Chazz. Shawn had chased you to the docks and then you threw those cards in the water." said Zane. "You;re just awful Raku." said Julie. "Oh come on! How do you know that those cards weren't mine. I guess that Bastion and I have common cards." said Raku. "That wasn't his cards. There were Shawn." said Bastion. "Are you serious?" said Raku.

Chazz said,"I saw you watching Bastion, Nick, and Syrus leaving the Ra Dorm and I told Shawn. He was pissed at you so I think he would want to duel you. That good with you Bastion?". "It is perfectly fine with me." said Bastion. "So where is Shawn?!" said Raku. "He just had to pick up his duel disk from the shop and he should be here." said Alexis. The group heard whistling which means that the Legacy was coming.

Shawn stood there and Raku said,"Where is your disk Shawny?". Shawn tapped his belt and he said with a smile,"Time to show you!". He pressed a button as a duel pad appeared on his leftt arm. It is a very similar color scheme to the old one but the shape looks like the ones from Yugioh Zexal and the one used by the Zexal transformations. He put on his duel gazer and he said,"Game on Raku!". "You are going down!" said Raku.

Raku: 4000 Life Points.
Shawn: 4000 Life Points.

Raku drew a card and he said,"I think you are going to get your ass kicked by the Raku! I play the spell card Magical Mallet. By sending five cards back into my deck, I can draw five new cards from my deck!". He placed the five cards back in his deck and he drew five new cards. He looked at the new cards and he said,"And look at this! I play the spell again!". He put the card back along with two cards to draw three cards.

Nick said,"So why would you play that card twice?". "He is looking for a card combo from my guess and I wondered if it will be good." said Zane. "I now summon my W-Wing Catapult in attack mode so come one out!" said Raku. A blue jet platform appeared and he said,"I now activate the spell card Frontline Base. This allows me to special summon a level 4 or lower union effect monster and I pick my V-Tiger Jet also in attack mode!". (4/1300/1500).

A yellow mechanical tiger with it look like a fighter jet appeared and Raku said,"I now remove these two from play to special summon VW-Tiger Catapult!". (4/1600/1The catapult revealed two missile launches and the tiger jet landed on them upon coming thruster units appeared on the back of the machine. (6/2000/2100). "I will end my turn with a face down." said Raku. Shawn drew a card and he said,"So a union machine fusion?".

Raku said,"What is that supposed to mean?!". "Oh nothing. This is going to be easier than I thought to destroy you. I think it is time to teach you a lesson how to duel. I will defeat you in one turn just like Alexis did to you earlier." said Shawn. "Is he serious?" said Syrus. "Yeah. I don't think Raku has a chance against Shawn now. He is serious." said Zane. "What's the difference?" said Nick. "Aren't you a fan of him?" said Chazz.

Nick said,"I guess I am but I'm lost still.". "You can see it in his eyes. Shawn serious may be rare but when he gets like this, you better watch out." said Alexis. "I play the spell card Eternal Friendship! I now special summon Silent Beauty in attack mode!" said Shawn. The warrior from the last episode appeared and she held her sword right at Raku. (8/2800/2500). "Since I have her on my field, I can now special summon Desperado in attack mode!" said Shawn.

The cowboy jumped onto the field and he said,"It's a good thing that Shawn knows how well we work together.". She hit him with the back end of her sword as Shawn said,"I now activate my cowboy's special effect. Once per turn, he can attack you for four hundred points of damage for each card in your hand. I count two so show Raku what happens when you throw cards into the water. Rapid Fire Shots!". The cowboy nodded as he fired several bullets at Raku who growled.

Raku: 3200 Life Points.
Shawn: 4000 Life Points.

Shawn said,"I now activate my Beauty's special effect. Once per turn, she can destroy one spell or trap card on the field. I think I'll pick your face down. Frost Slash!". She nodded as she slashed the card breaking it. "Oh. I think I should mention that by using their effect. They can attack twice." said Shawn. "So awesome." said Syrus. "Yeah. Shawn got a lucky hand and he knows how to play his cards perfectly." said Zane.

Shawn said,"You two know what to do.". They nodded as Johnny fired his guns at the machine which destroyed it into pieces. Raku saw the samurai appear in front of him and she slashed him twice. He went onto his knees as Shawn said,"I now that you have great potential Raku but you need to get your head out of your ass if you want to truly grow as a duelist.". Raku ran off as Julie said,"Man. He is a sore loser.".

Raku: 0 Life Points.
Shawn: 4000 Life Points. Winner!

Crowler who was shocked said,"I guess you are promoted to Obelisk Blue Bastion.". "You deserve it man." said Shawn. "Way more than Raku did." said Chazz who sighed. "Thank you Doctor Crowler. I will have to say no to your invitation." said Bastion. "What?! Why?!" said Crowler. "I made myself a promise upon coming to Duel Academy. I would only enter Obelisk Blue when I entered the number one student in the freshman class." said Bastion.

He looked at Nick and Shawn and he said,"Out of all of the new students, I think you two are the top two freshman. No offense Alexis and Chazz.". "Hey. How about we duel right now? I'm pretty fired up after seeing Desperado in action. He is personally one of my favorite monsters of yours Legacy or should I saw Shawn?" said Nick. "Either or. I beat that Einstein here has to work on a way to beat the both of us." said Shawn.

Bastion said,"You're right about that. Good luck to the both of you.". "You all should be heading to class right now." said Crowler. The group walked away as Shawn stood there. "I hope you are happy with that Darren." said Shawn. "A little but Raku is going to be a pain. I know that his family is slightly less rich that yous right?" said Darren. "A little but we'll be ready for him. So should we get those cards out of the water or what?" said Shawn.

Karen said,"Those cards didn't have any spirits in them and I think that fat woman from the card shop has already cleaned them up.". "Ah. Well, I should get ready for my class." said Shawn who went to the exit. "You know that if you didn't have spirits, you would be screwed right? The only teaching before this was for the Elementary School back in Revolution." said Karen. "Don't worry Karen. Life is simple compared to Duel Monsters." said Shawn.

Darren said,"You do have a point there Shawn. I mean this game is pretty complicated with all the combos and the ways to duel. I wonder if one day, there will be dimensions based one type of dueling.". "Are you serious? That just sounds stupid." said Karen. The two kept arguing and Shawn yawned. He was really sick of hearing those two fight. He wondered if Alexis and him were going to be like that but he was going to wait and see.
