Chapter 1: Kick-Off! Neo Spacians VS Memory's Skyscraper

Slifer Red Dorm; Saturday morning, 9:07 AM

It was the first official day of spring on Academy Island. Syrus was still in the Dorm room (He's still a Ra Yellow.) sleeping and mumbling something about how be-au-ti-fuuuuuul Dark Magician Girl is… Wait, he's STILL high heels over her??

"My pretty, my lovey-wovey, my valleys of infinite beauty…" (If you watch Bleach, then you will know what the last one means…coughKonisapervertcough) He looked like he running to her in a field of flowers until…

BAM!!! He hit the ceiling of his bunk square in the head; Ow. The force of the hit woke Hasselberry, causing him to scream like a girl, flip over like a pancake and fall flat on his face on the floor; Double Ow.

"Dammit, Truesdale, what in tarnation was that for?" He yelped as he was rubbing his skull with both hands. "I-I-I- It was an accident! You see, I have having a dream of me and Dar--" Upon hearing that word, Tyranno went from a pissed off expression to a sly fox – like grin. "Heeeeeeheeee…" It was only a matter of time until the giggle decided to spontaneously combust into hysteric laughter. "HAHAHAHA!!! You're still all over her like the soldiers coming in for the Sunday Night Special???!!! HAHAHAHAHAAAA!" If fact, he laughed SO hard, his he started bleeding a little where his head met Mrs. Floor. "HAHAHA-GAAAAAAHHH!!!" He was bleeding like a fountain. It was Syrus's turn to laugh. He laughed so hard he fell out of his bunk, but bonked his head on the edge of Jaden's bed. He immediately turned around to apologize to Jaden, only to find……

-Enter Hasselberry and Syrus with a shocked look on their faces-

"OMG!!!! JADEN'S NOT IN BED!?!?!!?!?!?!?!!?" Surely if someone got out of bed it was no problem. But when it's Jaden you're talking about, it's in a WHOLE DIFFERENT DIMENSION. "OMG!! Jaden's been abducted by ALIENS!!" Syrus screamed with his hands tugging slightly on his hair. "Or worse…" Hasselberry stated; entering freaky mode… "He was EATEN by SHARKS!!!"

Syrus calmed down enough to protest "But there are no sharks near the island, so how is that--" Suddenly, Hasselberry got in his face and squinted. "That's what they WANT you to believe." They were about to break out into another quarrel but, Chazz happened to open the door only to have airborne mouthsex with Mrs. Pillow. The two Ra's immediately stopped fighting and stared at Chazz for he now turned on the 'Pissed Off Alarm.' "What. The. HELL. Are. You. DOING????" At this pointed Sy and the Sarge both slowly backed up knowing this is a situation which one must be at least twenty feet away to avoid Chazz running you over with the force of the American NFL League. This included Duel Spirits, which in comparison, was a rather futile effort, since Chazz can't exactly TOUCH them (Oo;) ; it will only make him look like was smoking HUGE doses of pot.

"Hey, Chazz… have you seen Jay? He's not here and we don't know where he is…" At this point, Chazz calmed down from pissed off to simple annoyance. "Isn't it obvious? He and Johan are practically having friggin' tea and crumpets with their 'spirit friends'. The asked me to come along, but there is NO WAY I am giving the 'Troublesome Trio' an excuse to come out." "HIYA BOSS!" All of a sudden, Chazz's pupils shrunk to the size off peas and slowly cranked his head to the right… And then his mouth dropped almost all the way to the ground. "WHAT THE F ARE YOU WEIRDOS DOING HERE!?!?!!?!!?!?!?!!?" "Did ya miss us, boss??" Ojama Yellow tried to go in for a hug, only to have met a face filled a nice tall glass- I mean fist- of STFU. "I… DARE… you… to touch me!"

Syrus and Hasselberry look blankly at Chazz. Was he playing with his weird friends again? Or… could it be… possibly… could he be talking to… GHOSTS????

"GAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!! GHOOOOOOSTS!!! THEY'RE HERE!!!"

They zoomed right out of the door, flattening Chazz like a pancake, and ran as fast as could away from the 'ghosts' as well as tying to find Jaden. Could you say 'multitasking'? Yes.

Duel Academy Roof, Saturday January 13; 9:06 AM

"Ruby ruuubbbbbbbbby" , said a certain lovable blue Twinkie-shaped critter. "Yeah, the air's pretty nice…" Johan couldn't believe that it was so warm here in January. Then again, he was from the North Academy in Europe, so it would obviously be warmer in Japan than it would be near the North Pole. (No one knows what country North Academy is in, so I tossed in "WAY NORTH".) "If you think it's warm now, wait until it's summer." "Kuri kuri kuriiiiiiiiiiiiiiii" Everyone's favorite winged puffball cooed. All four relaxed in the sun for a couple of minutes, until the silence shattered…

"Johan, why did you wake me up?" Topaz Tiger appeared from thin air, bags under his stern-like eyes, looking like a middle-aged man going to work without any coffee. Johan instantly objected "I didn't do anything! Honest!" Putting his hands in front of his face, he gave off the impression he was begging for mercy to have him mom stop force-feeding him something disgusting (Fill in the blank.) "Then what could be making this noise? The Noise Fairy??", (Oo;; The NOISE FAIRY??) stated Air Hummingbird as he suddenly poofed out of nowhere; sporting the same exhausted face.

The commotion had caused all the Jewel Beasts (Hougyokujyuu) and Neo Spacians to come out, moaning like little babies. "Ugh, sooo noisy. I was still having my catnap…" , stated Amethyst Cat; being the biggest crybaby.

"Wait. So you all hear it?" Jaden asked with a point-blank confused face. Aqua Dolphin broke the silence. "If you used your head often, then you'd look in your pocket." The Aquaman-wannabe spoke in his British-like accent, pointing at Jaden's pant leg. Jaden felt around, then gave out a sigh. 'Oh yeah; my deck…' He felt really stupid, which oddly, was too normal about the dual-haired Slifer.

All present tried covering their ears; some having a huge disadvantage; but to no avail. The noise started to pierce right through their hands (Or paws or feathers or claws or GODDAMNIT!!) which came form one source, which turned out to be… A giant revving cloud of dust? And it was screaming???

Jaden facefaulted. "Why is a cloud screaming?" Johan couldn't hear him. "What??" Jaden repeated. "I said why is a cloud screaming?"

"WHAT??"

"I SAID—"

"WHAT??"

"I SAID--"

"WHAT!?!?"

"I SAID WHY THE HELL IS A #$&($) CLOUD SCREAMING!?!?!!?!?!?!!?" Jaden had a vein popping out of his head as he yelled at the top of his lungs. The Neo Spacians and Johan look blankly at Jaden. He was actually mad! Not just mad; a freaking vein was popping out of his head. This was always thought impossible. But then again, who wouldn't be mad if they have to be tortured by a concert of noise and allergen breeding? … Is that vein waving??

As they watched on, the cloud apparently went right through the lowest part of their vision, which was the small roof area over the front doors. "Hmm?" Dark Panther's, Amethyst Cat's, and Topaz Tiger's ears almost instantly perked up as they thought the heard something coming from underneath them. In fact, it was getting louder. And louder, and louder, until…

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMM!!!!!!!!!

The cloud of dust jumped out of the stairway and crashed on the floor; dust spreading through the fresh air, carrying bits of glass and floor tile in the breeze. Jaden and Johan blinked in disbelief and saw two figures piled on top of each other, face-down. Was that cloud Syrus and Hasselberry? What were they doing here?? Were they doing extreme running? Was it breakfast already? Did Blair chase in forcing them in telling her where her 'Jadey-poo' was? Or was it Alexis' time of the month? … Oo?!?!?!

"…Hey privates… what's shakin'?" Hasselberry was covered in dust and drenched in sweat. Syrus on the other hand, was waaaaaaaaaaaaay sweaty. All the dust on his body was absorbing the sweat. "Jay, where were you?" He tried to stand up, only to flop back on top of Hasselberry."

Jaden just gave Syrus his trademark goofy grin and simply stated "Hey guys! Just relaxing with everyone here!"

Upon hearing those words, Hasselberry and Syrus instantly had shrunken pupils and shouted to the heavens: "OMGOMGOMGOMG GHOOOSTSSS!!!". It only took a few seconds for the "J – Boys' to process what that meant. Sort of. Johan and Jaden just stared blankly at them; watching them run in circles like headless chickens. "Ghosts?" Johan said confused. Jaden however, caught on to the situation. 'Are they talking about the Monster Spirits?' It took didn't take Jaden long to realize that was the answer and that Syrus and Hasselberry thought they came out of the Looney Bin. Or were dropped on the head as babies. Whichever came first.

Dark Panther suddenly had an idea and gave a devious, almost Naruto-like sneer. "Ghosts, huh? Heehee. I wonder if…" He 'walked' up to Syrus and tried to put his paw (Cats don't have hands……right??) on his pant leg, but obviously, it went through. What no one expected was for Syrus to, almost at the exact same time as DP's (Noooo, not Dr. Pepper… mmm, Dr. Pepper –gurgle-) paw went through his leg, burst out in laughter. "Gahahahaaa!!" He was practically spewing tears from his eyes. "IT TICKLES!! GAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHA!!" He fell flat on his ass.

An eerie 'WTF' aura dropped on all except Jaden and Syrus. Tyranno was the one to break the ice as he slowly slithered away from Syrus. "Oooooooooooo-KAY?"

"That felt really weird, and not in a good way." Dark Panther's pupils were shrunk down a size or two as bags developed under eyes and began to shudder. Once again, silence faulted on them like a wounded hippo. "Someone else is coming." A certain silver-haired, snobby tuxedo – wearing Pro League duelist walked up. "Wellllll, if it isn't the dork patrol and Captain Weirdo." He gave out in a sing-song voice. "And this is coming from the guy with a Kira Izuru haircut, … Aster." Immediately Aster facefaulted. "DON'T COMPARE ME TO THAT BLONDE EMO!!" (Another Bleach pun…) None of the Neo Spacians or Jewel Beasts caught the joke, leaving a parade of cartoon-like question marks to dance around their heads. Jaden then smirked. "Hey, at least it's better than what happened in the Genex afterparty."

Duel Academy; Genex Tournament Afterparty; DA 6 – Duel Arena

There was nothing like a good party to finally get some rest. Jaden just got back from defeating Satorious aka 'Frankenstein's Retarded Cousin' aka 'White Maniac' aka 'Vampire Wannabe' aka 'Jandice Man' (His whites are YELLOW!!!) and stopping the satellite named after the protagonist from Kingdom Hearts from crashing into the Earth, turning everything 'white' (How racist.) and then destroying everything (What the point of ruling something if you destroy it first? Freaking tell me!). All remaining participants were present (Who had not left the island.) and were having a blast.

Atticus was sweet-talking the Blue girls, among them being Jasmine and Mindy (The Bluesome Twosome). Hell Zane was being all 'Super-Emo', Chazz rubbing the glory of winning the GX Finals in student's faces like the dumb twin in a pair of siblings getting an A and doing the 'In-Your-Face' dance, and Jaden sitting at the wall with Alexis, Syrus, Bastion and the Sarge thinking Chazz finally lost his mind.

The festivities suddenly died down as there was a booming noise coming from the loudspeakers. All eyes fell on the stage revealing one Aster Phoenix on the stage; a microphone in one hand, and a bottle of sake in the other. Can you say reeeeeeeeeeeally drunk?

Aster Phoenix, with his tongue out, tie loose, 2 of his buttons undone, most of his right sleeve wet with some sort of yellow liquid (…), and one lazy eye, suddenly did something no one, even his fans or acquaintances expected him to ever do: Sing. Let alone horribly.

Aster wildly swung his sake bottle, a heavy pink blush dominating his face. "Weeeeeeeeee are the –hic- champions, mah fer-eeeeeeeeeeehnds, DUHNDUHN-DUHN-DUHN --- WEEEEEEEEEEEE'LL keep on FIGHTING till the EEYEYEYEYENNNNND, DUHNDUHN-DUHN-DUHN---".

After several cases of bleeding ears, broken glass and the occasional dead hobo later, Aster fell off the stage and flat on his face; his eyes swirling like pinwheels.

Jaden couldn't help but laugh to himself. He knew one day that incident would come back to haunt Aster. And give him a wedgie.

"I never knew humans could sing so horribly." Air Hummingbird said flatly. He should know. Neo – Space rarely had any singers, but the Neo Spacians could tell Aster was no Taylor Hicks. Let alone Kouji Wada. (The Japanese Digimon song artist; they're pretty good; especially 'Hirari'.)

If looks could kill, Aster's face was like an A-bomb waiting to explode. "Oh no, you did NOT just say that! What if I told everyone you knew about the 'wings' problem??"

Slifer Red Dorm, REALLY LATE AT NIGHT

Aster couldn't believe it had to resort to this. Jaden once again stole his favorite hairbrush from his yacht. How could he keep his ever-so-pretty haircut if his hairbrush was taken from him?

After many failed attempts of getting to the 'Dreaded House of Red' in the dark with a freaking flashlight, which a big mistake on his part, he was ready to kick ass and play card games.

And he didn't bring any cards.

Just as Aster was about to open the door to the perpetrator's door, the door itself burst open, smashing into Aster's face, causing him to trip over his feet, and fall down the stairs. At the same time, Jaden ran past the door, jumped over a rail, and unknown to Aster, was running away from a rather pissed off Winged Kuriboh, chasing him like a swarm of hornets.

"I'm sorry! I promise not to grab your wing by accident again!!' "KUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUURRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII!!!!!!!!!!"

"Honestly, I think you were on drugs this whole time. Until I figured out what your problem was!!!" Aster laughed until he cringed as if his gut twisted. Jaden asked sheepishly "Drugs?? Me???" The Neo-Spacians all stared at each other and then at Aster as if they were telepathically asking "What are drugs?"

Syrus suddenly gave out a definite yell as if he discovered the cure to a disease. "Oh YEAH?? Then explain why Jaden and Johan always talk to themselves!"

Aster stopped laughing and shot back. "IT SHOULD BE PAINFULLY OBVIOUS. Jaden being more obvious, anyway. And that would be…"

"Yeah…?"

"…"

"…"

Everyone else just stared at Aster for an answer.

"…………………………………………………………"

"Well?"

"…"

"We're all waiting."

"Hello? Aster?"

"…"

"Aster…?"

'…"

"ASTER!!!"

Still nothing.

"…"

"…"

"…"

"…"

"…"

"Are you sure?"

"YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

"…"

"…"

"…"

"…"

"…"

"………Aliens."

Everyone facefaulted.

Little did El Tuxedo --- I mean Aster realize… He was only half-right.

For the first time in a long time, not to mention in a childish voice, Ground Mole spoke. "Well he is half- right… right?"

SEE? What did I tell you? … Right?

GAH! Too many rights! Can I go left now, mommy?

The silence was once again broken … finally.

"Attention all students! At exactly 3 PM, there will be a special surprise for all students and facility, courtesy of KaibaCorp, Industrial Illusions and the Pro League! This will be mandatory for all students, Red, Yellow and Blue, and all staff members to attend! I will see you all at 3 PM in the Main Duel Arena!"

It took only a few seconds for the group to absorb what was just released to the DA public. "A special surprise?! Sweet! I can't wait to see what happens!!" It was obvious Jaden was having a rough time holding his excitement. It was that excitement that made all his friends, human or spirit, simply resign themselves to smiling. "I wonder myself what is going to happen…" Aster showed some honest interest.

"I guess will find out soon enough." Syrus said, giving off a rather worried face, as if something bad may happen.

"I dunno 'bout you soldiers, but I sure am hungry. Running from ghosts gave me the munchies!" Jaden was about to protest, but his stomach did all the talking instead. He looked at his PDA, which revealed to be 11:47 AM. "Whoa, it's time for lunch!"

Wait a minute… MUNCHIES??? OMG! He does drugs!!

­­­­­­­­­­­­­

Duel Arena, 2:58 PM

After a good lunch and a few laughs, the entire gang sat several rows from the center of the room, almost facing the center of the field.

Alexis spoke up "I wonder when Sheppard is going to show up…" "Yeah." Chazz replied. "I wonder when baldy shows up…" "CHAZZ!" "What??"

Ignoring the conversation, Jaden, Syrus, Tyranno, Bastion, who was rather ecstatic considering Sir Geeks-a-lot, and Johan sat leaning on the empty chairs in front of them. Aster sat in the row behind them, not stooping to their level, but showed a level of interest.

At last, the big announcement was about to be given out as Sheppard, Seto Kaiba himself, and two bodyguards on either side of him walked to the center stage.

"Attention, all students! Without further ado, I present the founder of Duel Academy and Legendary Duelist himself, MR. SETO KAIBA!!"

The crowd roared in excitement. Obelisk Blue girls were giggling to each other, and Syrus along with Tyranno and Bastion mustered all their strength to hold down the duel-hungry Jaden. Johan simply sweatdropped, wondering if Duel Academyi finally lost it.

After about 2 minutes of excitement, Seto Kaiba raised his hand as if to silence them. "Thank you for your, er… excitement. Now I personally will announce our little surprise." He turned to Sheppard, who nodded.

"After much consideration and interaction of the Pro League, there has been a decision. Four duelists from the Pro League have been chosen to fight against Duel Academy's top four duelists for a chance to, after they graduate, own a contract into the Pro League!!"

Everyone gasped and roared in bigger excitement then the first time. The only question was: Who were the four oh-so-lucky duelists?

"The first combatant, which will be held in this arena is………"

Chazz mummured, catching a few friend's attention. "Let me guess…"

"JADEN YUKI!!!"

"Alright!! I can't believe it!!" After a rather short victory dance later, he jumped over the rail a few rows from him and ran towards the stage, only to go fanboy on Kaiba. Poor, poor Kaiba.

Chazz smirked victoriously. "Told ya."

"Ohmygodit'syouit'sreallyyoutherealKaibaikeohmygodohmygodthisislikesocooland--"

Kaiba had to put his hand on Jaden's eyes to shut him up and keep him from hyperventilating.

"Hey, who turned out the lights?"

"All idiotic antics aside, it's time to announce you opponent, so stand on your half. "Sure." Jaden walked to his half on the field.

"I present to you all, the opponent of Jaden Yuki is… Kaze Hyohana!!" A young man a little shorter than Zane came in, dressed in a garb that looked Ichigo Kurosaki's 'Tensa Zangetsu' kimono, only lighter in color and shorter trims with no sleeves, a cross between curly and spiky brown hair, light brown eyes, jeans and American sneakers; Nike to be exact.

Kaze gave off a smirk. "Charmed Mr. Yuki; Mr. Kaiba." It was hard to tell whether he was being polite, arrogant, or both. He jogged across the field to shake Jaden's hand and ran back to his side. "Are you ready, Mr. Yuki?" "I was born ready! And please, call me Jaden." "Very well…Jaden."

"Ready…?" Kaiba inquired. Both players nodded. "Then… BEGIN!!!" He threw his arm down like a referee.

"DUEL!!!!!" (Kaze: 8000, Jaden: 8000)

"If you don't mind, I will go first." Kaze said as he drew his sixth card and simply thought to himself. 'What to do, what to do…" He snapped out of his trance and smirked. "I will start of with the ever-devious 'Pot of Greed.'" He drew two more cards, making seven. "Now from my hand, I active the Continuous Spell Card known as 'Guardian Treasure!'(; Used by Raphael in the Dartz Arc) By discarding 5 cards from my hand, I draw two cards!"

Jaden blinked. "All that for two cards? That's pretty bold." Suddenly Dark Panther appeared. "You shouldn't be so quick to judge, Jaden." Kaze replied "Your fashion-senseless cat friend's right, Jaden." That shook Jaden slightly. "You can see Monster Spirits?" Kaze put his finger to his lips. "Shhhh, not too loud." Jaden realized this was in public, so he dropped the subject. "As I said, the second effect of this card also allows me to draw two cards instead of one during my Draw Phase!"

Bastion spoke up. "What an interesting card. Now he can double the probability of finding a conventional method to trounce Jaden's strategies!" Syrus and Tyranno looked at him strangely. Alexis translated. "That means Kaze's chances of defeating Jaden doubled." "But…" Aster protested. "Mathematically speaking, that also doubled the speed of his Deck going down to zero."

"How observant of your friends, Jaden. But what of the possibility of me having a strategy of countering that weakness?" Jaden realized that was the case. Mistakes and overlooking were two factors any Pro Duelist had to avoid in the equation that is Deck Construction.

"Of the three cards in my hand, there is a card for that purpose. I now activate the Field Spell card called 'Memory's Skyscraper!! ()'"

The field changed from the Duel Arena to several buildings surrounding them along with a large Skyscraper between them. Jaden, Kaiba, Sheppard, the gang and all of the other spectators stared in awe. It was even raining, although it was obviously a hologram.

"As long as these buildings are standing tall, four things will happen. The first is that both players must place all cards in their Graveyard face-down at all times and shuffle them during their respective opponents' End Phases. The second ability is that during our own Standby Phases, if there are more than 5 cards in either Graveyard, that player then can randomly select one card in their Graveyard and add it back to their hand!"

Everyone was shocked. Is there really such a card?

"I haven't even said the frosting on the cake. All of my monsters now gain 300 ATK and DEF while face-up. There is also one last ability, but it wouldn't matter now. I Set a monster and then Set one card face down. That's it."

"Alright, my turn!" Jaden exclaimed as he drew his card and looked at his hand. "I summon Bubbleman in Attack Mode! (ATK: 800) And since there are no other cards on my field, I draw two more cards!" (I am using the anime effect) Jaden made a wider grin. "Now, since so many haven't seen these cards, it's about time they made their world debut! I activate 'Common Soul'! Now by selecting any face up monster on the field, I can Special Summon a 'Neo Spacian' from my hand to that side of the field! So come on out, Neo Spacian Flare Scarab!" In a miniscule pillar of fire, the bipedal insect appeared in a triumphant pose (ATK 500).

"!!!!" Kaze looked speechless. "So this is a Neo Spacian. Not bad." "Not bad? Well, what if I said Flare Scarab gains another 400 ATK points for all of your Spell and Trap cards?" "WHAT??" Flare Scarab roared as is ATK increased to 1300. "And thanks to Common Soul, Bubbleman gains the same ATK as the Neo Spacian has!" Jaden stated as Bubbleman roared in fury as his points went from 800 to 2100.

"Alright, J! Show him what the Neo Spacians can really do!", Syrus cheered on. "You got it buddy! But first I'll also active an Equip Spell called 'Neos Energy'!() A 'Neo Spacian equipped with this card gains another 800 ATK but loses 300 every one of my Standby Phases." Jaden gave off a sheepish grin. "You've got to be friggin' kidding me! 2100 and 2900!?", Kaze exasperated.

"And I'm not done yet! Now I active 'Quick Summon'! (; Used by Jaden, Zane and Amon Garam) Now I can Normal Summon another monster! Come out, 'Dandylion' (It is a Japanese only- OCG card), in Defense Mode!" The lion-like flower popped out of the card in a defensive stance. "Now, Flare Scarab, attack his face-down monster with Burn Slash!" The bipedal obliged as he fired a large fireball at the set card, only to reveal a large pink blob with an upside-down face and doll-like blush marks. The blob got mad and bounced off its card and grasped Jaden's head with its mouth, causing him to run around in circles like a herd of chickens. All in the room, including Jaden's own monsters, cringed at the sight. When it released itself, Jaden's face was decorated in bite marks as his Life Points dropped by 1000 points.

"How did Jaden lose Life Points??" Syrus blurted out, thinking it was a cheap shot. "That is the meanest pillow I've ever seen." Hasselberry couldn't help but say that. Bastion then said "Actually, that was a marshmallow." "WHA!?!?" Was all the two other Ra's could muster. "To be specific…" Alexis continued. "… That was 'Marshmallon' (ATK: 300 DEF: 500  ATK: 600 DEF 800; used by the little Yugi; it is a Japanese only- OCG card), a cute monster with two mean punches. One, it can't be destroyed in battle. And second, if it was attacked while face-down, Jaden would lose 1000 Life Points." Jaden grabbed his head in pain. (Jaden: 8000  7000). "Ow. That really hurt. I guess I'll place a card face-down and end it there."

"Very well. My draw!" He drew his two cards, meaning only two cards in his hand. For now…

"I active the effect of my Skyscraper!" The mantle of the skyscraper glowed a bright light as it extended to Kaze's Duel Disk. "Now since there are 6 cards in my Graveyard, I randomly get a card back." He reachd his hand to the Graveyard slot and watched a card being dispersed, then extracted it. Kaze grinned. "I active the card I received; the Quick-Play Spell Card 'Trap Booster'! By discarding a card I card activate a Trap Card from my hand! And guess what I do? I send 'Night Assailant' to the grave to active 'Call of the Haunted'! Revive, 'Sangan'!" A small three-eyed creature with green clawed arms and legs appeared in Attack Mode. (ATK: 1000 DEF: 600  ATK: 1300 DEF: 900). Flare Scarab and Bubbleman gained another 400 points. (ATK: 2100  2500 / ATK: 2900  3300)"Also, the effect of 'Night Assailant' (ATK: 200 DEF: 500) is initiated, allowing me to return any other Flip Effect Monster from my Graveyard!"

"Say WHA??" Jaden at first was surprised, but then instantly smirked. "Theirs is just one problem. You don't have any in your Graveyard!" Kaze scoffed. "Oh, really? Do you have a bad memory? Remember my 'Guardian Treasure'?" This made Jaden think, which was hard to believe considering this is Jaden we're talking about. Realization dawned on him.

"I active the Continuous Spell Card known as 'Guardian Treasure!' By discarding 5 cards from my hand, I draw two cards! And the second effect of this card also allows me to draw two cards instead of one during my Draw Phase!"

"Then that means…" "That means…" Kaze smirked. "…The 'Magician of Faith' I discarded on my first turn comes back to my hand!" Kaze watched as the card was spat out of his Graveyard, and placed the card in his hand. "I'll Set another monster and a card face down. Now Sangan, deflower Dandylion! Claw Crash!" Sangan instantly jumped at the scared creature as it cleaved through its stomach and exploded. Jaden seemed to enjoy the carnage. "Now for Dandylion's special ability! Whenever it's sent to the Graveyard, I get two Fluff Tokens (ATK: 0 DEF: 0 in) in Defense Mode! And since you destroyed a monster in battle, I can activate 'Hero Signal'! Now I can Special Summon any Level 4 or lower 'Elemental Hero' from my hand or Deck!" He ripped out his Deck took out one card. "Come on out 'Sparkman' in Attack Mode!" The electric hero jumped out of the sky and landed in a serious pose, as if ready to kick some ass.

"Tch." Kaze seemed disappointed. "I end my turn." "Alright then. Draw!" Flare Scarab and Bubbleman lost 300 attack points due to the 'Neos Energy' and 'Common Soul' combo. (ATK: 2500  2200 / ATK: 3300  3000) Upon looking at his card, Jaden gave off a huge smile. "I sacrifice my two Fluff Tokens to summon Elemental Hero Neos!!" The two tokens disappeared and were replaced with the ever-powerful space hero. (ATK: 2500 DEF: 2000) "!? Neos?" Kaze was surprised, but after a second, he smirked wickedly. "Gotcha!"

Jaden seemed confused. "Am I missing something?" "Yes you are, Jaden. I active my Trap Card, 'Tribute Death Chain'!" () Suddenly, 4 chains extended from the card and plunged themselves through Jaden's monster's chests, which exploded on contact. Then Kaze's Sangan and Call of the Haunted cards disappeared into thin air.

"Guys, I think I'm lost on this." Syrus quivered at the scene. "You and me both, soldier." Tyranno was also stupefied. Bastion once again spoke up. "'Tribute Death Chain' only works if the opponent were to Tribute Summon and removing 2 cards on the player's field who activated it.. All of the opponent's monsters in Attack Position are destroyed, and then the opponent draws 2 cards."

Jaden drew his two cards and smiled even bigger. "Thanks!" "W-what? What do you mean??" Jaden smiled "You'll see. I play 'Neos Draw'! () First, I must send all Neo Spacians or Neos in my hand to the Graveyard. Then for every Neos or Spacian in my Graveyard, I get to draw one card! But if any cards are Normal Spell or Trap cards, they're shuffled back to my deck and then I draw two cards!" He revealed Aqua Dolphin in his hand and sent it to the Graveyard. Then the spirits of Aqua Dolphin, Flare Scarab and Neos place their hands on Jaden's deck as he drew three cards. "Well I drew 'Hero Ring', so it goes back to my Deck." He shuffled back that card into his Deck and drew two more cards, making five cards. Jaden was smirking so hard, he was jumping around in excitement.

"Alright! I play 'Chrysalis Party'! () Now for every Neo Spacian in my Graveyard, I get to Special Summon that number of 'Chrysalis' monsters from my hand or Deck! Since are two Spacians chilling there, I get two Chrysalises! So come on out, 'Chrysalis Mole' and 'Chrysalis Panther'!" As if on cue, a baby mole and panther in little transparent cocoons appeared and cooed softly at their master. (ATK: 700 DEF: 100 / ATK: 800 DEF: 300, respectfully.) "But they won't be around for long, since it's time for a growth spurt! Go, 'Contact'!" A huge light erupted under the baby animals, which quickly dispersed, in which the grown up 'Ground Mole' and 'Dark Panther' made their huge entrance.

"And I'm not done yet! Now I activate a Spell Card called 'Panther Illusion'!" ()At that time a dark-purple mist emitted from the feline alien's paws, reaching his opponent's field. "'Panther Illusion' only works by discarding one DARK monster from my hand or Deck to the Graveyard while Dark Panther's out. All of you Set cards' effects are negated for this turn, and I card destroy one face-up monster on your field!" The mist then destroyed Marshmallon and strangled the face-down Spell/Trap Card the second Jaden placed 'Elemental Hero Necroshade' (ATK: 1600 DEF: 1800) from his Deck to his Graveyard. "Now for something even stronger! I activate 'Neos Parade'!" "Now if I have at least 2 Neo Spacians on the field in Attack Mode, they gain 200 points for every Neo Spacian and Chrysalis in my Grave for the next 3 turns!" Both of the Spacians glowed a bright blue aura. (ATK: 1000  1800 / ATK: 900  1700).

"Now Ground Mole, attack Kaze's face down monster with Ground Drill!" Ground jumped into the floor, drilled through and blasted underneath the monster, which turned out to be the 'Magician of Faith' (ATK: 300 DEF: 400  ATK: 600 DEF: 700). Unfortunately, the boost didn't save her. Kaze only smirked. "By flipping her, I can now return any Spell in my Graveyard to my hand. And I choose 'Revenge of Destiny'! () "I don't know what it does, but it can't save you from Dark Panther's attack! Attack with Dark Sharp!" Dark Panther jumped at Kaze and bit him on his right arm and clawed his legs. It only took a second for Dark Panther to be shocked as he jumped away in confusion. "What's a matter, kitty? Don't like the taste?" Jaden was confused. "Hey! You didn't lose any Life Points!" Hasselberry agreed. "You're cheating, recruit!"

"Hold your tongue, boy!" Kaze shot back. "Wow, quite a conversation." Aster replied sarcastically. Johan, Alexis, Bastion and Chazz nodded in agreement. Syrus felt that it made the least sense to him. "What I don't get is how Kaze didn't lose points."

"The reason I didn't lose points was that I discarded 'Revenge of Destiny'. By discarding it from my hand to the Graveyard all Battle Damage from 1 attack becomes 0. Then I can add a monster with 1000 or fewer Attack and Defense Points from my Deck to my hand. And I select 'Dark Swordsman Suzaru!'" (ATK: 200 DEF: 1000).

"I Set one card face down and end my turn." "Then it's my turn." "Now I activate my Skyscraper's effect!" The same light revealed itself. "I get back one card… and then active 'Reversal Treasure!" () Now by sending a card in my hand that lets me draw cards to the Graveyard, I can draw one extra card from its original effect. Since I discard 'Jar of Greed', I can draw two cards!" He drew and looked carefully. He smirked again. "I activate 'Deceived Summoning'! () Now I can select any monster on your field, and must Special Summons as many monsters from your Deck as possible with the same Level and at least one word in their card name as the selected monster's name. I select Ground Mole!" Ground Mole started to glow an eerie red aura, which freaked him out. "Now you must summon more Neo Spacians!" Jaden shrugged and placed his two remaining Spacians on his field. "I'll summon 'Air Hummingird' in Attack Mode (ATK: 800 DEF: 600) and 'Glow Moss' in Defense Mode!" (ATK: 300 DEF: 900) Kaze gave off a low laugh, which caught everyone's attention, even Kaiba's.

"Now the second effect of my spell initiates! For every monster on your field after the Summonings, I gain 1000 Life Points!" His Life Points increased by half of what he had. (Kaze: 8000  12000). "But the last effect allows me to Special Summon a Level 4 or lower monster from my hand as long as it is weaker than you strongest Level 4 or lower monster. Since Dark Panther currently is the strongest (ATK: 1800), I get a monster with 1800 or less! I call forth my 'Dark Swordsman Suzaru!'" The same card he got last turn finally appeared. He grasped the halberd in is his left hand tightly and on a downward angle, while he slowly raised right halberd over his shoulder, sporting a bored expression. (ATK: 200 DEF: 1000  ATK: 500 DEF: 1300)

"500 points is awfully weak, don't you think?" Jaden questioned. Kaze frowned at the question. "Once Suzaru is summoned, I count the number of face up cards on your field, then multiply by 1000, in which Suzaru will gain that many points!" There were four cards; four Neo Spacians.

"That means 4000 more points!!!" Bastion was shook by the simple algebra presented. "That means Jaden's in for a world of hurt." Aster said dryly. (ATK: 500  4500) "And that's not all. Don't even consider using a Trap Card during either of our Battle Phases, think again! You'll take 600 points of damage per Trap!"

Jaden didn't know what to do. Kaze already had a monster with 4200 ATK, and Traps will cost him a lot of points. He didn't have a great deal of healing cards, so that qualified as a big problem. "Suzaru, clip that bird's wings with Black Halberd Storm!" Air Hummingbird didn't stand a chance. Jaden screamed as he lost a big chunk of points. (LP: 7000  3300)

"I end my turn with one facedown card." Kaze smirked. There was nothing Jaden could do to stop his onslaught. Or so he thought…

"Since I have way over five cards in my Graveyard, I'll take a card back, courtesy of your Skyscraper!" He smiled. A play Fake Hero! So I get to Summon a Hero from my hand, as long as it doesn't attack, and it comes back to my hand when the turn's over!" He surveyed his hand again.

'Neos and 'Neo Space'. Perfect!' Jaden knew how to strike back. "I'll summon Neos!" The extraterrestrial Hero made his star appearance once again. "Neos! Dark Panther! CONTACT FUSION!!" The two creatures nodded and jumped into the air in a flash of light, revealing Neos in a black, panther like jumpsuit complete with claws and wings that were as thin as a silhouette curtain. "Meet your worst nightmare! 'Elemental Hero Dark Neos!'" (ATK: 2500 DEF: 2000) The Hero glared at the Dark Swordsman, as if there doing a staring contest of some sort. "And to top it all off, I play Neo Space! Now my Neos Fusion Monster can stay on the field, gets a boost AND you're Skyscraper is destroyed!" (ATK: 2500  3000)

Jaden was shocked at the sight before him. The Skyscraper remained! Kaze smirked, producing a plastic fork out of nowhere. "Hey, Jaden. Remember when I said there was a fourth ability? As long as it's out, BOTH PLAYERS can have a Field Spell out!! So here's a fork so you can eat your words!" He tossed the fork at Jaden like a baseball for vain comic relief. No one laughed.

Syrus instantly got scared. "So Kaze still has a chance?" Looks like that building had one more strategy in its platoon!" Hasselberry noted. "Can you for once NOT involve the army in your puns??" "Or what??" A new voice interjected. "Be quiet!" The rest of the gang turned to see Blair, Martin, Amon, Jim and O'Brien sitting next to them.

Chazz shot up. "How the F# did you sneak up on us!?" Amon replied. "Actually we didn't sneak up. Your eyes were glued on the Duel. In short, you're ignorant." "Why I oughta--" "Chazz, stop!" Alexis pulled him by the ear. "Owowowowowowow! That hurt Alexis!" "Not as much as you're hurting your own damn reputation by making a fool of yourself!" Alexis corrected him. No, more like owned him. Ojama Yellow poofed instantly. "Ya know, Boss, the dame's got a point."

Kaze faked a cough, irritated. "Getting back to the duel now. I assume Dark Neos has an effect?" Jaden smiled sheepishly. "Well, if you consider he can negate a monster's effect, then YES, he has a special ability." Kaze paused. "Negate… NEGATE!?" "Dark Neos, negate Suzaru's special ability!!" Dark Neos obliged to his master's command as his muscles tensed. A dark-purple aura surrounded Suzaru, weakening his strength, as well as his posture. (ATK: 4500  500)

"Now Dark Neos! Attack Suzaru with Last of Black Neos!" For an instant, it looked like Dark Noes' claws extended slightly. His wings expanded slightly as he dove from the sky and clawed Suzaru in the chest. Suzaru pixilated and exploded on contact, along with some of Kaze's Life Points. (LP: 12000  9500). Kaze seemed happy. "By destroying Suzaru, I'm more than welcome to play this! The Continuous Trap Card known as 'Dark Halberd Glass'!" () As if on cue, the two halberds fell from the sky, landing and impaling themselves on ether side on the centerfield.

"As long as these swords are out, any monster with fewer ATK points than the Battle Damage I took when Suzaru's destroyed in battle cannot battle. End of story."

"But that's 2500 points!" Bastion pointed out. At the same time, the center of the wall started dripping blood-like liquid, spelling out '2500'.

Jaden sighed, knowing there's nothing he could do. "Aw man. I guess I end my turn."

Kaiba, after a long time, finally smiled. 'This duel is actually exciting. I should have brought popcorn.' In fact, he lightly jogged out of the arena to get some. Fortunately, only a few people caught sight of it, but forgot after the dialogue picked up.

"It's my move." Kaze drew and smirked. "I activate 'Graveyard Fortune'. () This allows me to remove every card in my hand, my Graveyard and my field from the game. But for every four cards removed, I draw 1 card." He counted carefully. "Sixteen cards are removed. The audience watched as Kaze's Skyscraper, the Halberd's barrier, his Graveyard and hand vanished. He then extracted the top 4 cards of his Deck. He smiled and gave a low laugh.

"Excellent. I activate 'Ultimate Twilight'!" () Thanks to its effect, since I already activated Memory's Skyscraper, I remove 10 cards from the top of my Deck from play to bring out my most powerful monster. Come forth, 'Keyblade Master Roxas' () in Attack Mode!!!!" The said Keyblade Master (KH2) appeared in his Organization XIII; his hood off; wielding the silvery-white Oathkeeper in his left hand, and the black and green Oblivion in his right. (ATK: 1300 DEF: 3000)

Jaden stared in excitement. "Wow, he looks so cool! What does he do? Huh? Huhhuhhuhhuhhuhhuhhuhhuhhuhhuhhuhhuhhuh??????"

Kaze smiled contently. "I see you're interested. But you wont't be so excited soon enough. I activate Roxas' effect. Once per turn, he destroys 1 card on your field by sacrificing the ability to attack. But that's about to change. I activate the Continuous Spell 'Overtaker'!" ()

"This spell makes the icing on the cake! Now Roxas can attack twice, and Roxas' effect changes to negating his first attack!!"

Kaze remained quiet as he let the crowd murmur on what was going on.

Bastion looked like he was seriously calculating in his head; trying to assess the odds. "That means Roxas can attcak and destroy a card every turn! But Kaze's drawing speed returns to normal, seeing that Guardian Treasure is removed from play now."

Johan was the first to catch on, and grimaced upon realization. "He's right. Jaden's in a tight spot."

Jaden's friends watched on, wondering how Jaden can counter this conundrum.

"I activate Roxas's ability! Destroy Neo Space with Overtaker!" Upon command, Roxas jumped into the air, doing several flips, holding out both Keyblades, causing sparks to parade from the very edges of the blades, like an electric fire.

Jaden could have sworn he saw a Ra Yellow girl in the crowd write a huge '10' on a piece of posterboard.

Roxas ended by throwing the Oblivion at Jaden's Duel Disk, spitting out the Field Spell compartment, causing Neo Space to vanish away to the Graveyard. Its rainbow-colored display immediately dispersed, weakening Dark Neos. (ATK: 3000  2500).

"I end my turn." Kaze smirked, shocking everyone. Some people thought that left Kaze wide open, since Roxas was weak compared to Dark Neos, and even without him, both Grand Mole and Glow Moss had some sort of edge, if the time came.

But unfortunately, it was a big 'if', and it played into Kaze's hands.

Dark Neos yelled in pain as he turned into a purple beam of energy and returned to Jaden's deck.

"Oh no!! This is bad!" Jim yelled out to no one in particular. But those who saw Jaden's Neos deck, even played it, knew what he meant.

Amon fixed his glasses. "Jaden's Neo Spacians and Neos combos are his biggest trump cards, and there's no doubting it, but…"

Syrus replied worryingly. "'But'?..." The rest of the gang, excluding Amon, Jim and Aster (Who just facefaulted), sweatdropped.

Alexis interjected. "What he means Syrus, is that the Neos Fusions have a side effect from being used." Bastion nodded and continued that statement. "If fusion were like a formula, it would be comprised of two or more monsters, along with a 'Polymerization' spell. But with the Neo Spacians' special effect, that's not needed, with spares Jaden some trouble… and a dramatic cutscene. But all things come with a price."Alexis continued. "And Neos is no exception. Since the monsters fuse by returning to Jaden's deck, so will that fusion at the end of the turn; unless Neo Space is out, of course." Realization dawned on the little bluenette. "So basically…"

Amon closed the subject. "It's Jaden's Achilles' Heel."

Since Kaze ended his turn, Jaden goes. "My turn! Draw!" He drew and giggled. "Looks like my Neo Spacians pulled through for me again! I'll play 'Neos's Magical Study'!" () "Now if I have two or more Neo Spacians on my field, by sending one to the Graveyard, I get a Normal Spell from my Deck or Deck to my hand. However, I can't play it this turn, or discard it for any reason. So I'll send Glow Moss packing, and go ahead." He drew his card, and received his 'Final Contact Fusion'. "I end my turn."

Kaze drew. He knew that the only monster Jaden had out was Ground Mole, whose ATK restored to normal. (ATK: 1700  900) Even if he could attack with Roxas, who couldn't battle monsters under 1300 ATK, Ground Mole would return Roxas to his hand, ruining his plan. "I set a card and end my turn."

Jaden drew and waited for a few seconds. "Well, it's been fun." Kaze cocked a brow. "Hm?" "You are about to know my Deck full power! I activate 'Final Contact Fusion'!" "By paying half of my Life Points, I can initiate Contact Fusion on Neos and any Neo Spacians in my Graveyard to form a new Fusion. But there's more! The effect of the Fusion Monster returning to my Fusion Deck is negated!" (Jaden: 3300  1650)

Everyone in the crowd, especially 'Jaden's Friends Incorporated' were taken by storm.

Jaden pumped an arm up in the air. "Neos! Air Hummingbird! CONTACT FUSION!!!!" A burst of white and green spat from his Graveyard and back to his Deck, exploding into a new light, in which some students and individuals took out sunglasses; along with Amon, who took out some rather stylish ones. The light faded, revealing Neos in a red bird-like attire, complete with wings.

Did anybody ask if Neos got new shoes? Because if so, he/she/it is RETARDED! Wait… it?

"Air Neos, if my Life Points are lower than yours, will gain points equal to the difference!" (Jaden: 1650 / Kaze: 9500) Kaze blurted out. "7550??!"

Air Neos yelled as a green aura enveloped him. (ATK: 2500  10050)

"But there's more! I activate 'Berserk Hero'! Now by sending an Elemental Hero from my hand to the Graveyard, an Elemental Hero on my field gains its points, but is destroyed at the turn's end." He discarded his Bladedge from his hand. (ATK: 2600)

Air Neos was once again enveloped in a green aura. (ATK: 8700  12650)

The new point average brought everyone to astonishment.

"And thanks to Berserk Hero's second effect, Traps can't affect Air Neos! Attack Roxas with Skyboom Wing!!" The winged hero acknowledged his master's order and swiped his wings, creating waves of light energy, cleaving Roxas like butter.

Kaze knew it was over from there. (LP: 9500  0)

The entire crowd cheered on, seeing Jaden's victory. Syrus shouted at the top of his lungs "ALRIGHT!! JADEN WON!!!" Tyranno yelled as well. "Some hold me!" The record scratched at this moment, causing everyone in the gang to stare at him. "Woo! Beautifully done, mate!" Jim yelled, praising the Slifer Red on his victory. O'Brien, Amon, Aster, Alexis, Bastion, Johan and Chazz applauded; Chazz half-heartedly.

After a minute or two of applause, Seto Kaiba came in with a HUGE tub of buttered popcorn. "OK, I found the popcorn!!"

The record scratched again. Kaiba remained silent for a few seconds. "The duel's over already? Damn." he muttered to himself. Several seconds later, he regained control of the crowd's attention.

"Very well, let the second duel commence! Our Pro League Duelist; the man with 200 IQ, second in dueling science only to the famous Dr. Eisenstein, DR. DUEL!!!"

At this time, a man in his late thirties, standing probably six and a half feet tall, dark blue hair shaped into an intelligent looking haircut, a dark-blue beard and goatee that covered most of his chin, wearing a white lab overcoat over a brown university blazer and black dress pants. The words 'Dr. Duel' are written in red and black graffiti on either side of the overcoat.

Bastion whispered to himself, unaware that Alexis, Chazz, Amon and O'Brien heard him. "Bastion whispered to himself, unaware that Alexis, Chazz, Amon and O'Brien heard him. "THE Dr. Duel?? He's Eisenstein star pupil in Duel Physics. I got to get his autograph when I get the chance…"

"And his opponent, the one who was chosen by the legendary Gem Beasts… JOHAN ANDERSON!!"

Johan's eyes widened 'I could get into the Pro Leagues? Nice.' Suddenly Topaz Tiger appeared, looking cramped in the seats. "I don't trust that man. He seems… off…" Topaz Tiger growlesd slightly.

Johan nodded, letting the cat know he's prepared without having to attract attention.

Jaden walked up back to his seat, but stopped in front of Johan. "Be careful. Kuriboh senses something weird from him…" he said warningly. "Kuri kuri" Kuriboh frowned, showing that he felt something bad about to happen.

Johan stepped to the stage and looked at his Duel Disk. "You ready guys?" All seven Jewel Beasts nodded, then looked at their opponent, studying him. He seemed to be glaring at Johan; his piercing brown eyes seemed to disappointed for some reason. The seven animals were stopped by Johan. "Guys, stay calm; it's just a Duel."

Dr. Duel cocked an eyebrow. 'Who are you talking to?" Johan realized he was caught talking out loud. "Uh, no one?"

The older man frowned, deducing the answer. "Let me guess: Duel Spirits? Please, a smart boy like you shouldn't believe in such fairytales." Johan's eyes widened, insulted.

"You can't insult my family! I'll teach you!" All seven Jewel Beast looked angered, except Ruby, who looked hurt.

Sparks were going to fly.

Jaden and Syrus: Next Time! "The Non-Believer! Gem Beasts VS The Art of Science!"

Syrus: Hey, J? Why does Johan call the Gem Beasts his family?

I will update depending on how my schedule goes; I am already working on Chapter 2. I have the first 5 or so chapters planned out.

If you want to request anything, let me know.

I will be motivated if I get at least 5 reviews. Even more would be great!

Peace out!
