15 minutes ago...
Chiba was dueling fellow Osiris Red Almaz Wright near the Osiris dorms. For Almaz, it was an all-or-nothing duel, as he'd bet all his four Star points. From what Chiba'd seen, Almaz' previous two duels were similar, and he was concerned when Almaz challenged him, but Chiba would never turn down a challenge.
Chiba - 1900 LP
Almaz - 4000 LP
Knowing Almaz ran Undead monsters, Chiba had changed his deck a bit. He felt a little bad about it, but it was important in a tournament to try your best, right? Besides, he needed the edge; even though Chiba had gotten his Command Knight lock going, Almaz had gotten three Wights into the grave, which made his "Wight King", at 3000 attack points, too powerful for the Command Knights to take on.
"My turn, draw!" Chiba declared. He looked at the card he drew and smiled. "Alright, I activate the magic card 'Soul Release'! This lets me remove up to five cards in either players' cemetery from play. I'll remove your three 'Wight's, your 'Mezuki' and your 'Necro Gardna'!"
Almaz gasped. "I shall activate 'Necro Gardna's effect now, then! So your next battle will be negated!" He then ejected the five cards out of his cemetery and placed them in his pocket. He frowned, though. He had set a "Reward of Rebirth" card last turn as a bluff, but would Chiba call that bluff?
Wight King - LV1 Dark Undead (3000 ATK - 3000 = 0 ATK)
"Now I summon 'Elemental Hero Wildman' in attack mode," Chiba said, wasting no time. "And due to my two Command Knights, he gains 800 attack points."
The large, muscled hero came on the field wielding his blade, and an aura of power glowed around him as his attack points raised up.
Elemental Hero Wildman - LV4 Earth Warrior (1500 ATK + 800 = 2300 ATK)
Almaz gripped his fist.
"Command Knight, attack Wight King with Front Forward Assault!" Chiba ordered.
"Necro Gardna negates that attack, Herr Chiba," Almaz said as the knight's blade deflected off of the shadow of Necro Gardna.
"That's fine," Chiba replied, and then pointed dramatically, losing himself in the game. "My other Command Knight will destroy Wight King, and then Elemental Hero Wildman will finish the game!"
The other Knight slashed Wight King, who was reduced to a pile of bones. Since Almaz had no Wights in his cemetery, he couldn't revive it.
Almaz - 4000 LP - 2000 = 2000 LP
He barely had time to recover before Wildman slashed his body. He shouted a cry of despair as he fell to his knees.
Almaz - 2000 LP - 2300 = 0
His Star point meter ran to 0 while Chiba's went up to 9.
"Sorry about that, Almaz-kun," Chiba said, offering a hand to help him up. "I wasn't certain that your facedown was a trap or not, but at the very least, Wildman would have done damage."
"You're a great duelist, Herr Chiba," Almaz replied. "I'm nothing but a disappointment."
"Don't talk that way about yourself!" Chiba shouted. "Just because you're in Osiris doesn't mean..."
A loud gust of wind burst forth through the island suddenly. It was obviously generated by Solid Vision, but the power couldn't be denied.
"Did you feel that, Herr Chiba?" Almaz said.
"Someone's summoned a powerful monster," Chiba replied, excitement slipping into his voice. "Come on, we should see that monster for ourselves before it's too late."
The two of them ran off together in the direction of the Ra dorms.
-------------
YU-GI-OH! Negative Zero: Genex Midterms
Turn 30: "A Duelist's Pride?! Mark vs. Katsuki, One More Time"
-------------
"Duel!"
Katsuki - 4000 LP
Mark - 4000 LP
"'Dice Roll'," the Duel Disk said, and the holographic dice reappeared. Mark rolled a 1, while Katsuki rolled a 6.
She grinned wickedly. "Looks like it's my decision, and I go first! Draw! Magic card, 'Angel's Charity', activate! I draw 3 cards from my deck, then discard 2 from my hand."
Katsuki pulled three cards, then placed the cards "Queen's Bodyguard" and "Allure Queen Level 7" into her cemetery.
"Hmph, so you're ditching your ace this early in the game?" Mark said with a coy smile. "What are you up to, missy?"
"You'll see for yourself in a minute, loser," Katsuki replied, with her own smug smirk. "I set one card, then summon 'Allure Queen Level 3' to the field."
The lowest evolution of the Allure Queen appeared on the field, with a spark of fire in her hand.
Allure Queen Level 3 - LV3 Dark Spellcaster (500 ATK)
"Turn end," Katsuki said wickedly.
"What a weakling!" Mizuno observed with a roll of the eyes. "It's such an obvious trap."
"I'm thinking that's what Katsuki-san wants Walker-kun to think," Aino said. "She's not the type to take such an obvious strategy."
"I dunno," Isabel thought out loud. "Katsuki acts kind of funny where that guy's concerned."
"My turn! Draw!" Mark shouted.
There's no way she'd summon such a weak monster in attack mode without a plan, Mark thought to himself. She's obviously trying to trick me into attacking. Oh well. I'll play her game for now.
"I summon... 'Warrior of Atlantis' in attack mode!" Mark shouted, posing dramatically as the sea warrior appeared on the field, with a hand-spear cannon on its wrist.
Warrior of Atlantis - LV4 Water Aqua (1900 ATK)
"That's an odd play," Aino said with her hand on her chin. "He can discard that card to get 'Legendary City Atlantis'. Isn't that a key card for his strategy?"
"I think he's changed his deck since his duel with Toragami-san," Isabel said, giving the duelist a cursory glance. "I saw him use a card called 'Defender of Atlantis'. I think he might have more of a theme going."
"Walker-san has read Katsuki-san's strategy," Toragami remarked. "Let's just watch it play out."
"Toragami-san..." Isabel pondered with wonder on this girl.
"Warrior of Atlantis!" Mark ordered. "Attack Allure Queen Level 3! Atlantis Sniper!"
"No way!" Katsuki shouted. "Reverse card open, continuous trap 'Cry of the Living Dead'! With this, I can summon a monster from my cemetery in attack position! Come out, 'Queen's Bodyguard'!"
Three elite looking swordsman appeared on the field on top of the "Queen's Bodyguard" card. One of them drew his sword over Allure Queen as if to protect her, the others stood on guard.
Queen's Bodyguard - LV4 Earth Warrior (1700 ATK)
"By the effect of 'Queen's Bodyguard', you're prohibited from attacking 'Allure Queen' monsters on my field! So your 'Warrior of Atlantis' will have to attack my bodyguards to get to the Queen!"
"With pleasure!" Mark shouted. "Do it, Warrior of Atlantis!"
The Warrior shot out three arrows, which destroyed each of the bodyguards depicted on the card. Katsuki grunted as her life points dropped.
Katsuki - 4000 LP - 200 = 3800 LP
"I see why he did that now," Mizuno said, nodding her head. "If he'd dumped Warrior for 'Legendary City Atlantis', level 4 monsters he'd summon would become level 3s, and 'Allure Queen' could equip them."
"Plus, he saw through Katsuki-san's plan when she sent 'Queen's Bodyguard' to the cemetery last turn," Aino added. "He knew she might try to psych him out, but he called her bluff."
"I set two cards and end my turn," Mark said. "You're up, little miss."
Katsuki got visibly angry at his casual tone. "You don't have a right to call me names!" she shouted before she drew her card. "You're only here because the chancellor gave you a lucky break!"
"Look, I don't care about however you feel about me," Mark replied. "We're dueling, so either make your play or surrender. I don't really want to listen to you."
"Why you..." Katsuki clenched her fist and appeared ready to just drop the game so she could punch Mark in the mouth.
"Katsuki-san," Toragami said. "Retain your composure."
Katsuki blushed at being scolded by Toragami. She heard everyone around her whisper about her, and it just made her angrier, but she held herself back.
"Do you really care what these people say about you?" Aino added. "As long as you try your hardest, does it really matter?"
"But Naomi-chan..." Katsuki protested.
"I'm waiting, Shiho!" Mark shouted, visibly irritated.
"What's with these two?" Mizuno asked Isabel.
"When Walker-kun came to this school, because of some mishaps with his paperwork, he came here late," Isabel explained. "He had to duel Katsuki-san for the right to get in. He didn't just defeat her, though... he humiliated her."
"That's a good point," Chiba added in, hearing her dialogue. He and Almaz ran in, out of breath. "You didn't hear about it, Mizuno-san? That duel's a bit of a legend around here now. Walker-kun used 'Ocean Dragon Lord - Neo-Daedalus' and 'Fenrir' in a combo to make Katsuki have to skip her turn."
"Who are you and how do you know my name?" Mizuno asked, somewhat disturbed.
"Oh, sorry," Chiba laughed. "I'm Chiba Katsurou; we have a mathematics class together. I just have a good memory, I suppose..."
"And nine Star points," Isabel said, looking at Chiba's Duel Disk. "Very impressive! Especially for an Osiris."
"I was hoping to duel Shougo-kun to get into the finals," Chiba said. "But since he's in the hospital, he hasn't had a chance to gain any."
Almaz frowned.
Katsuki looked at the card she drew and chuckled with mirth. "You may have gotten lucky before, loser, but not this time," she said. "I activate the magic card 'Terra Forming'."
She fanned out her deck. "I can pick one field magic card and put it in my hand. But let's not waste each other's time, shall we? I activate 'Court of the Allure Queen'!"
Mark grit his teeth. Here it comes...
The image of the interior ballroom of a castle threw itself up and around the duelists and the observers.
"'Court of the Allure Queen'?" Mizuno said. "What the hell is that?"
"It's a one-of-a-kind card that Katsuki-san had her family make for her," Chiba replied. "And by the way... is this the duel that caused all the commotion?" He raised an eyebrow. "It looks like it just started."
"No, that was me," Mizuno replied, not even trying to hide her pride. "I was the talk of the school! And you weren't here? Shame on you!"
"Mizuno-san summoned 'Destiny Hero - Bloo-D'," Isabel explained.
"No way!" Chiba gasped. "How did you get that..."
"Enough talk," Toragami said, surprising everyone with her presence. "Just observe the duel."
Chiba blushed. I didn't even notice that Toragami-san and Aino-san were here, he thought to himself. Whatever light I saw before during Toragami-san's duel with Judai-sama is gone now. You really are a mystery to me...
"I activate 'Court of the Allure Queen's effect... Royal Ceremony!" Katsuki said. "I can remove from play an 'Allure Queen' card on the field to use its effect to Special Summon a card written on its text. So, I know what you were planning by summoning 'Warrior of Atlantis' instead of using its effect, but it's pointless!"
Royal retainers surrounded Allure Queen and dressed her up. When they had left, her next higher level was on the field.
Allure Queen Level 5 - LV5 Dark Spellcaster (1000 ATK)
"Now, Allure Queen! Bring that Warrior of Atlantis to our side!"
Fire began to form around Mark's monster that would seduce it to Allure Queen's side.
"Now, finally, I'm going to make you feel the same humiliation you gave to me!" Katsuki muttered. "You can't imagine what you put me through."
"What are you talking about?" Mark asked, with a look of disgust on his face. "You let a duel get to you that much?"
But Katsuki wasn't listening anymore; her eyes were closed and she was frowning deeply as she recalled her life after that duel...
--
"That's Katsuki Shiho, isn't it?"
"Yeah, the one that lost to that American kid. You weren't there? Man, I'd have hated to be her."
"No kidding. I mean, at first I thought she had to be good since she knew Toragami-san so well, but I guess it's just because she was born into money. To get beaten so badly by a foreigner... it's a waste of time even challenging her."
Katsuki frowned as she tried to focus on her schoolwork, but she couldn't deny that their words bothered her. She wasn't a bad duelist in any sense — she'd had to take the entrance exam like everyone else, and before her duel with Mark Walker, Katsuki had a decent record.
But now, no one would even duel her anymore.
--
"You just waltzed in to this school and ruined my life, you loser," Katsuki shouted. "What makes you think you can do that?"
"Hey, if you'll remember, you are the one who challenged me," Mark said. "It's your own fault! And by the way, did you honestly think I didn't see that card coming?"
"What?" Katsuki was indignant.
Mark made his explanation clear through the game. "Reverse card open! 'Interdimensional Matter Transporter'! I remove a monster I control from play until the End Phase of this turn. The monster I pick, of course, is 'Warrior of Atlantis'!"
The warrior's image shimmered away, causing the fire of the Allure Queen to have no target.
Katsuki growled. "What a dirty trick," she muttered.
"You're such a hypocrite!" Mark shot back. "Listen to yourself. You're using a card that your family made for you, and you'd dare to call my tricks dirty?"
To this, Katsuki gasped in shock. "Wh... what?"
"What kind of duelist uses a card that no one else can get to gain an advantage over her opponent?" Mark said. "Do you really think your Allure Queens stand a chance without that broken field spell?"
"Don't talk about that card! It's none of your business!"
"We're dueling, so it's very much my business." Mark shook his head, and a wry smile appeared on his face. "Maybe everyone making fun of you bugs you because what they're saying is true. Ever thought about that, little miss?"
"I'm going to make you pay for your tone. I normal summon 'Critter' in attack mode."
A three-eyed puffball appeared on the field, showing eagerness to fight.
Critter - LV3 Dark Demon (1000 ATK)
"Battle! Allure Queen, direct attack on the player! Seduction No. 5!"
Allure Queen twirled her staff in her hand as she rushed Mark's field, and then clobbered him on the head. Mark winced.
Mark - 4000 LP - 1000 = 3000 LP
"Don't think it's over yet! Critter, attack him too!"
Mark tried to recover his wits as the small puffball uppercutted him. What the hell is this feeling? I know it isn't real, so what's going on...?
Mark - 3000 LP - 1000 = 2000 LP
"Well, Katsuki-san managed to do some damage," Isabel remarked. "But Warrior of Atlantis is coming back next turn and there's nothing she can do about it."
"She's not trying to win," Toragami said.
"What?" Chiba looked quizzically at the Obelisk Blue student. "I don't understand."
"Of course you don't," Toragami replied, and despite the nature of her reply it didn't sound contemptuous. "You understand that this is a game. My friend Katsuki-san sometimes forgets herself."
"Forgets herself?" Chiba sighed, not wanting to admit that he didn't understand that either.
"Katsuki-san has a very large reputation to uphold," Aino explained. "Her families, ours and Toragami-sama's have been friends for a very long time, but the Katsuki clan has their own financial duties. When Shiho-chan's parents die, she is expected to take charge. But that's not a burden she wants."
"She's far too young to be expected to desire such a thing," Toragami said. "Katsuki-san is still a child and still sees the world through a child's eyes. She's still trying to define herself as an individual. That boy, Mark Walker, possesses a very strong will. He is similar to her."
"'Similar'?" Isabel laughed a bit. "I'm sorry, Toragami-san, but to me it looks like the difference in their skill is obvious."
Toragami sighed and rubbed her forehead, closing her eyes. "Have you not yet understood that this game is not about skill?"
Not about skill? Isabel did a double take. I don't understand this girl at all...
"I set one card and end my turn," Katsuki said.
"On my End Phase, 'Warrior of Atlantis' returns to my field," Mark said as the warrior returned to him. And before I enter my Draw Phase, I reveal my other facedown... 'Cyclone'!"
"How boring," Katsuki said. "I guess you're going to get rid of my 'Court...'"
"I target your facedown," Mark interrupted her.
Katsuki grunted as her facedown "Holy Barrier - Mirror Force" was destroyed.
"Who's calling who boring?" Mark laughed as he drew his card. "And on that note, it's not like I don't have a reason to hate you either!"
Katsuki narrowed her eyes. "Why would you? You beat me."
"And you've been giving me crap about it ever since!" Mark said, his voice rising but not reaching the shrill tones of Katsuki's anger. "And don't think you're alone! Sure, everyone's whispering about your skill, but you've got friends! Other than Isabel-san, I've been alone in this Academy, thanks to the attitude that ignorant xenophobes like you have fostered!"
Katsuki felt like she was pinned to a wall by Mark's response.
"It's true that I'm an American, and the country I come from has a reputation for being full of ego," Mark said. "But you don't even give me a chance! I come here late because my school messed up my application, and I had to jump through hoops to get in! I got lucky defeating you the first time... I acknowledge that. But that's only because I underestimated you."
Katsuki bit her lip, then anger welled up in her again. "Don't give me that 'it's not fair' routine! There's nothing fair about Japanese life!"
"Oh, so you think it's better in America?" Mark queried. "All of us kids have to prove ourselves day to day, no matter where you're from. At least in Japan, you have to earn your place by being smart... or so I thought. It didn't take me long to learn money matters just as much here as it does there... no, maybe more so. And your attitude isn't helping to change that."
"I have nothing to do with all of that!" Katsuki shouted. "It's been like this for centuries!"
"Well, the times, they are a-changing," Mark said in English. "I summon 'Imperial of Atlantis' in attack mode."
A more royally-endowed soldier came to the field, holding a trident.
Imperial of Atlantis - LV4 Water Warrior (1700 ATK)
"Is that another new card?" Isabel remarked. "Looks like Mark-kun's been keeping secrets from me?"
"Oh?" Mizuno teased. "So you have that kind of relationship..."
Isabel chuckled and sighed. "Think that if you want. To me, he's just a good rival. I mean, my deck is fire, so it's natural, right?"
"Oh, natural has nothing to do with it, I'm sure." Mizuno leered perversely, making everyone else extremely uncomfortable.
"It's time to duel!" Mark shouted, once again in English, as he entered his Battle Phase. "Warrior of Atlantis, destroy Allure Queen. Atlantis Sniper!"
The warrior obeyed immediately, shooting its arrow into Allure Queen's body. Her shout was loud as she was destroyed.
Katsuki - 4000 LP - 900 = 3100 LP
"Imperial of Atlantis, you're up next! Get rid of Critter! Atlantis Sword!"
His other monster obeyed quickly, thrusting its spear into the fluffy monster. It shuddered once before it was destroyed, too.
Katsuki - 3100 LP - 700 = 2400 LP
"Well, for your information, Critter has a special effect!" Katsuki shot back.
"You think I'm in kindergarten?" Mark said. "You can add one monster with 1500 attack points or less from your deck to your hand. We both know what you're going to add, so just get on with it."
Katsuki frowned as she placed another copy of Allure Queen Level 3 in her hand, and her Duel Disk shuffled her deck for her.
"Now my Battle Phase is finished, but my turn isn't over yet," Mark said. "Since you no longer have an Allure Queen, I can activate my own field magic... which, by the way, I've had in my hand this whole time. 'Legendary City Atlantis', activate!"
The royal courtyard was broken and rather unceremoniously replaced with the underwater field magic spell.
"My monsters' attack and defense points are raised by 200, and their levels are lowered by 1," Mark went on as his Atlantis monsters' powers raised.
Warrior of Atlantis (1900 ATK + 200 = 2100 ATK)
Imperial of Atlantis (1700 ATK + 200 = 1900 ATK)
So what? Katsuki said, looking at her hand. It's true I only have one copy of 'Court of the Allure Queen', but I have plenty of ways of getting it back! In fact, I have 'Magic Shard Excavation' in my hand just waiting for him.
She then frowned with a thought. But to use a card only available to me... She shook her head. No! I'll do whatever it takes to win!
"I know you''ve probably got a way to get that card back in your hand," Mark said, seeming to read her thoughts. "But I don't intend to allow that! I send 'Warrior of Atlantis' and 'Imperial of Atlantis' from my field, and 'Defender of Atlantis' from my hand, into the cemetery!"
"What?" Mizuno gulped. "What is he summoning? Whatever it is, I've never heard of it."
I have, Isabel thought with a stern look on her face. Mark, aren't you overdoing it a bit?
Mark raised his hand into the air. "I summon now Atlantis' strongest soldier... the Guardian of Atlantis, Oceanus!"
From underneath the ground of the Legendary City sprouted forth a figure that looked like a Roman god — who was, in fact, named for the Roman Titan who ruled the seas. His muscular figure was an oddity compared to his aged complexion, and he thrust his fists out a few times before finally posing for battle.
Oceanus, the Guardian of Atlantis - LV9 Water Warrior (3800 ATK + 200 = 4000 ATK)
"4000 attack points?!" Mizuno gulped. "That's... that's ridiculous!"
"That's what I was expecting," Isabel said. "Walker-kun seems to be beta testing some cards I heard Industrial Illusions had just designed. To think he'd use it on someone like Katsuki-san... but I suppose it's to be expected."
"I can only summon this card while 'Atlantis' is the field magic," Mark said. "And while it's on the field, no other field magic can be played and it cannot be destroyed! Sound familiar?"
Katsuki bared her teeth, obviously frustrated.
"This card was inspired by none other than the Legendary Duelist himself, Mutou Yugi-san!" Mark went on, sounding very deferential. "One of his aces was 'Valkyrion, the Magna Warrior', which also was summoned by tributing three cards from the hand or field. Rumor has it, these were the key cards in his... oh, but I'm going on."
"Your Battle Phase is over," Katsuki said. "So unless you have more showboating to do, please just end your turn."
"I'd be glad to!" Mark laughed. "I would like to see you get out of this one, you poor little rich girl!"
Katsuki looked at her deck. I won't let him make a fool out of me. I swear it!
"My turn... draw!"
Otherwise... how can I live with myself?

Shougo: "I wasn't in this one! What the hey?"
Aino: "As Walker-kun and Katsuki-san's duel progresses, the outcome seems to be clear. The nature of their relationship, less so."
Toragami: "I think my friend may finally be starting to mature..."
Chiba: "I don't think Katsuki-san will let it end just like that, though... Hey, where did Almaz-san go?"
Aino: "In the meantime, Tenjouin-sensei decides to be up front and ask Kiyotaki-kouchou about the mysterious 'Illuminati'. Much to her surprise, he answers her without pretense."
Chiba: "Um... Almaz-san is not here, and for some reason I'm worried about Shougo-kun..."
Aino: "As more duelists are eliminated in the Genex tournament, motivations are revealed next time on Yu-Gi-Oh! Negative Zero: 'Questions without Answers, The Truth of the Illuminati'."
Shougo: "Ayukawa-sensei needs sleep like everyone else, but how can I protect myself while I need sleep, too?"
Toragami: "Aoyama Shougo... don't spoil it for everyone."
Shougo: "Sorry..."
