Thank you to everyone who reads the story!! I almost have dueling in this chapter. See what the beast’s look like at www(dot)yugioh(dot)wikia(dot)com. I don’t own any of the cards accept a few, I’ll tell you when they’re mine. Also 5-digit helped me come up with the cards so i don't take full ownership.

Chapter 6

“JADEN! WAKE UP!” Syrus was banging on the door of Jaden’s room.

“Jaden you’re gonna miss the miss the tournament!” Jesse called through the door.

They heard a thud which they presumed was Jaden falling out of his bed. Then a few more as Jaden ran around trying to get ready.

“3…” Chazz said.

“2…” Jesse smirked.

“1…” Crystal looked at the door expectantly.

“I’m up!” Jaden flung the door open and landed right on his face.

“ ‘Ello to you too mate.” Jim smiled.

Crystal and Alexis laughed lightly.

“Nice fall.” Albel smiled at Jaden.

“I try.” Jaden got up and rubbed his head. “Anyway let’s get going, I got me a tournament to win!”

“You’re forgetting you have to beat us first loser.” Chazz said and walked off.

“Yeah Jay, don’t go making yourself the winner.” Alexis smiled. “C’mon Chris let’s get going.”

“Actually I think I’m gonna switch out a few cards first.” Chris pulled out both her deck and side deck.

“Well I’ll help.” Jesse grinned.

“Oh no you won’t, you’re not getting a peek at my deck.” Chris laughed running away.

“I swear I won’t peek.” Jesse caught her and tickled her.

Alexis sighed “Sometimes…you guys.”

“I’ll say.” Jim nodded.

“I don’t know what you’re talking about.” Chris looked at them an innocent expression on her face. She was currently wrapped in Jesse’s arms.

“Riiiiiiiiiiiiiight.” Alexis smiled knowingly.

Chris, childishly, stuck her tongue out at Alexis. “Anyway, I hear Crowler has a surprise planned for us.”

“Well I hope it’s not too much of a surprise the last one was horrible.” Jaden complained.

“All they did was give us a deck to duel with, that wasn’t ours.” Alexis said.

“And that’s what I hated! I couldn’t use my normal combinations!” Jaden threw his hands in the air.

“It was good for us though. It makes you think up things on the spot, it shows you how good your skills as a duelist are.” Chris shrugged.

“You don’t seem to care about it.” Albel noted.

“Seto had me do that to test out new cards, so I’m used to it.” She explained.

“Speaking of which, you guys know the prize right?” Jim asked.

“We get to choose a place to visit!” Syrus yelled happily.

“I wanna go back to Domino City.” Jaden said.

“Yeah, that would be pretty nice.” Chris smiled.

“Tell ya what, if I win we can go there.” Jesse smiled at Chris.

“You won’t need to do that.” Chris smiled at Jesse’s thoughtfulness.

“Why not?” Jesse looked at her confused.

“Because, I’m gonna win!” Chris pumped her fist into the air.

Jesse smiled at her child-like behavior.

“Well let’s hurry it up then.” Alexis looked impatiently at Chris.

“Right! Let’s go.”

“What about your deck?” Alexis asked.

“Meh, I’m fine with the ones I have now.” Chris referred to her two decks.

“Which one are you going to use?” Alexis slyly asked.

“Dunno, depends on the surprise.” Chris could play aloof all she wanted, but Alexis already knew she wanted to win this tournament…badly.

OoOoOoOoOoOoOoO

“As you know students I’ve prepared a surprise for you all.” Crowler started. “In this tournament you must all choose a partner, that’s right this is a tag team tournament! You have 30 seconds to find a partner, starting now!” Crowler signaled with his hands and everyone was at a mad dash to find a partner.

Jesse and Chris both grabbed for each others hands, since they were right next to each other they were partners. Syrus literally latched onto Jaden.

“Mind being partners mate?” Jim asked Hassleberry.

“Not at all soldier.” Hassleberry replied.

Albel asked Alexis and they became partners as well.

“Who’s you’re partner?” Chris asked as Aster walked by.

He pointed behind him to the person clinging to his leg, of course it was Atticus.

Somehow Adrian and Chazz ended up on the same team!? No one ever figured out how that happened…

Groups:

Chris & Jesse

Jaden & Syrus

Jim & Hassleberry

Albel & Alexis

Aster & Atticus

Chazz & Adrian

“Everyone knows the rules, anyone is fair game and you must accept all duel challenges. If you loose you’re eliminated. So let the games begin!” Crowler set us loose.

“Poor Sy…” Chris sighed.

“Aw he’ll be fine, he has Jay remember.” Jesse laughed as we ran outside the building.

“I’m sure you’re right.” They stopped and looked around.

“Hey you two, Jesse Anderson and Crystal Moto, we challenge you!” Two Obelisk blue students challenged.

“Ambitious aren’t we? Think you can take us? Bring it on!” Chris pumped her fist in the air.

“Let’s duel!” Everyone shouted and their duel disks activated.

“I go first!” The light brown haired obelisk blue boy shouted.

“…By the way what are your guys’s names?” Jesse asked.

They sweatdropped.

“I’m Taylor!” The light brown haired boy said.

“Luke.” The black haired boy said trying to act cool.

“Well I’m Jesse.” Jesse pointed to himself.

“We know who you are! You’re the demon who stole our Princess away!” Taylor accused.

Chris looked at them like they were psycho.

“You have a fan club?” Jesse turned to her.

“I was hoping that could stay a secret.” She looked menacingly at the boys.

“We worked all the time to make sure she had our support when dueling and that she always had everything she needed. Then you come in and snatch her away with your pretty little Crystal Beast cards!” Luke accused.

“……Jesse promise me something.” Chris chose her words slowly.

“Yes?” Jesse looked at her curiously.

“If we win can we pretend this conversation never happened?”

“Why are you so mean to us Crystal? We pour our love into everything we do for you!” Taylor got all teary.

“Umm……It’s nice what you do and all, but don’t you think you should go find a girl who deserves your feelings?” Chris was running out of persuasive things to say.

“What about you? You’re duel Academy’s Princess! And ever since Zane left, you’ve been a little different.” Luke added.

Crystal visibly flinched when Zane was mentioned. She calmed herself and steadied her nerves. “I’ll be alright; after all I have Jesse so let’s get this duel on the road shall we?”

“You’re right…I guess. Let’s duel!” Luke and Taylor shouted at the same time.

“My move first!” Luke yelled. “I summon Phantom Beast Cross-Wing, in attack mode!”

Phantom Beast Cross-Wing
1300/1300
While this card is in the Graveyard, "Gazelle the King of Mythical Beasts" and all "Phantom Beast" monsters on the field gain 300 ATK.

“Lastly I’ll put down 2 face downs.” Luke finished his move.

“Good, now I can go!” Chris yelled.

What no one knew was that they had an audience of 2. Namely Alexis and Albel. Albel wanted to see her cards and Alexis didn’t feel like dueling so they decided to hide and watch,

Chris drew a card and looked over her hand. “I summon Gene-warper warwolf , in attack mode!”

Gene-warper warwolf
2000/100
This warwolf was given incalculable strength through horrific genetic manipulation. Its gentle nature was completely wiped out, and it now lives only to unleash destruction.

“Next I’ll place 2 cards face down and end my turn.” Chris announced.

Taylor drew “I summon Des Mosquito, in attack mode!”

Des Mosquito
500/500
When this card is Normal Summoned or Special Summoned, place 2 counters on it. This card gains 500 ATK for each counter placed on it by this effect. If this card is destroyed by battle, remove 1 counter from it, and it is not destroyed.

“Lastly I summon Crystal Beast Emerald Tortoise, in defense mode!” Jesse shouted after he drew a card from his deck.

Cystal Beast Emerald Tortoise
600/2000
Once per turn, you can change 1 of your monsters that attacked this turn to Defense Position. If this card is destroyed while it is in a Monster Card Zone, you can place it face-up in your Spell & Trap Card Zone as a Continuous Spell Card, instead of sending it to the Graveyard.

Well now that everyone has their first cards up the duel shall start next chapter! Sorry if I made Albel a little OOC 5-digit, i didn't know how else to show him watching and calculating her cards. Plus next chapter everyone is going to be spying on everyone. Oh by the way the first number berfore the / is the monsters attack points, the other is the defense points. Gene-warper Warwolf attack is 2000 and it's defense is 100.
