Get Yarr Game On

Slifer Red Dorm...
Things had returned to normal after Tania's defeat. They then got intense as Jaden had a issue to resolve.
"YOU WHAT? WHERE WILL I SLEEP!"
They saw Syrus stand in front of Jaden, very upset. 
"Sorry." Jaden apologized. "I really hadn't thought about that in all the excitement."
"EXCITEMENT!?" Syrus screamed. "You traded my bed for a card."
"But I got it for you. Isn't your birthday next week?"
"IT WAS LAST TUESDAY!" Syrus cried out, visibly annoyed and ticked off. "And I'm surprised I made it with everything you've put me through this year. I might need a… new roommate!"
"Don't say that, I'm really sorry. I promise I'll be the best roommate ever from now on."
"What's this?" Chazz spoke up a few tables away from them, smirking at their situation. "Trouble in paradise?"
"Hey! It's private!" Syrus shot back.
"Come on, it's just Chazz." Jaden said. "We share everything… like dessert for example."
"Yeah right, Slifer slacker. Dream on!"
"Okay… then can I have your corn dogs too, and your mashed potatoes?"
"How about you ask for a bed while you're at it!?" Syrus said.
The door to the cafeteria then slid open and Chumley walked in, a look of confusion on his face. "Hey, guys? Anyone order a submarine? Cause there's one parked outside."
"Avast, ya landlubbers! I be the Admiral!"
A large, fat man dressed in a sailor outfit with a captain's hat stood on top of a huge submarine floating in the water. 
Everyone held their ears, hoping their eardrums didn't burst.
"Who is he?" Jaden yelled over the noise. "A pirate or something?"
"Ye scallywags never laid your ears on the tales of the Admiral? Scourge of the seven seas?"
"Yeah, he sounds like a pirate." Alexis commented.
"I set sail to challenge one of ye to a duel!" Everyone held their hands over their ears as the high pitched noise flared again. "The bilge rat known as Jaden Yuki!"
Bastion and Alexis looked at the fat man in surprise. "Is he-"
"A Shadow Rider!" Jaden finished for them.
"Show yourself, Jaden!" The admiral shouted into his microphone, causing the annoying noise to pop up again. "Where ye be?"
"Ye be here?" Jaden replied a moment later. "And aren't you just a little old to be playing dress up?"
"Why, I'll keelhaul ya poopdeck! At arms, ye scurvy dog! We be dueling. Now get yarr, game on!"
"Now?" Jaden asked, surprised.
"No, next week." Bastion said sarcastically.
"Me too," Christine pitched in.
"I don't know… Syrus had a point. In all my duels lately, my friends always seem to end up getting in danger."
"Jaden, we're in this together," the blond girl reminded him.
"Right," Bastion agreed. "I'm with you too."
"Ha, just wish I had a parrot," Chazz said as he joined them. "Or an eye-patch."
"Ain't no way I'm staying behind," Jeremy said with determination.
"That settles it," Alexis confirmed.
"Well…" Jaden began, but was interrupted by that annoying sound again, him and all the others covering their ears.
"I'll scuttle the likes of ye, lessen ye come aboard!"
"Are you going to come long, Syrus?" Jaden asked, turning to face him.
"How about it, Sy?" Chumley spoke up. However, the short Slifer in question merely looked away, the downcast expression on his face giving them his answer.
At that, Jaden and his 'boarding party' hopped into the small boat near the docks and headed towards the large submarine, where a crane reached down, grabbing a hold of the boat and pulling it out of the water, setting them down on the roof of the sub, where they went through one entrance, while the Admiral went down another. "Pretty high-tech for a pirate," Bastion said, while the Admiral went down another. "He seems more less privateer, and more financier." They all stepped out of the boat and were taken to a control room, where they could see a big dueling arena at the front of the vessel itself. "How else could he afford a submarine, or a… submerged duel arena?"
"Whoa!" Jaden exclaimed. "Check it out. Talk about shiver me timbers."
"This bein a fine ship," the Admiral said. "But now let's weigh anchor and duel, ya filthy bilge rat!" Jaden and the crazy pirate/sailor walked out of the control room and into the arena, standing on a long platform at opposite ends from each other, with a walkway in-between. The walls were a large glass sphere, which let them see the ocean floor and the water all around them. "Wish yer mates farewell. Ye ain't be seeing them again!" the Admiral said, laughing as he inserted his deck into a custom gold duel disk with a handful of gems.
"What're you waiting for?" Jaden asked as he inserted his own deck. "We gonna duel, or walk the plank?"
"Walk the plank on a submarine?" Chazz said incredulously, him and the others watching from back in the control room. "How about he opens a window while he's at it?"
"How about he starts to concentrate?" Bastion shot back. "That Admiral's rearing to go."
"Anyone care to bet what kind of deck he'll be using?" Christine said in a tone that suggested she had a good idea already.
"DUEL!" the two duelists declared as they started up their disks.
Jaden: 4000
Admiral: 4000
"Arr this!" Jaden said, drawing his sixth card. "I summon Elemental Hero Lady Heat in defense mode." The fiery, orange and white dressed woman appeared kneeling in front of Jaden. (4/1300/1000) As soon as she did, the lights suddenly went out in the arena. "I should've guessed you'd turn off all the lights. It is a shadow game!"
"Shadow game?" the Admiral replied, sounding confused.
"What's it for? My soul? My key?"
"What you be speaking, you yellow livered swab?"
"You know what I mean! What's your shadow sham gonna be? Are ye gonna turn me into a doll, or maybe lock my soul in a card?"
The crazy pirate's face looked even more surprised at this. "What ye mouth be spouting?"
"Shadow game, remember?"
"Tis no shadow game!"
"But what about me key?"
"Key?"
"What key? The key that… Wait a sec… Okay, you are trying to unlock the spirit gates, right… aren't you?"
"Why you scrubby swine! I be no Shadow Rider! And I'll prove it! Bring us up, mateys!" At his order, the submarine suddenly started going up until it was floating on the top of the water again. Unfortunately, those in the control hadn't taken the quick ascent that well.
"I think I'm gonna be sick," Chazz moaned.
"This pirate sure knows his sailing." Alexis commented as she stood up. "Guess he really isn't a Shadow Rider."
"If this isn't a Shadow Game, how did he shroud the duel arena in darkness?" Bastion asked. "Would someone care to explain?"
One of the sailors went over to one of the consoles and pressed a button for the intercom as the lights came back on again. "Sir, we fixed the lights in the arena." All of the academy students watching fell down in shock at the revelation.
"See, me mate? I'm an Ocean Rider. Not some son of a sprawn Shadow Rider."
"Whatever you say, Cap," Jaden said.
"I be an admiral!"
"Sure. Anyway, I'll throw down a face-down and call it a turn. Speaking of which, you now lose 200 points for each elemental hero I have out thanks to Lady Heat's effect. Sure, there's only one, but it's a start." The defending heroine conjured a fire ball in one hand and threw it at Jaden's adversary.
Admiral: 4000-3800
"Now, prepare to taste the briny, with this! A Legendarrrry Ocean!" the Admiral said as he inserted a card into his field spell zone. Their surroundings changed so that they were in an underwater realm with great stone ruins.
Jaden suddenly panicked and held his hands to his throat. "I can't breathe!"
"Jaden!" Bastion spoke up. "You do realize that you're not actually drowning, don't you? It's just a hologram."
"Oh yeah…" Jaden said, relaxing. "Maybe they'll throw in some holographic lobster for lunch."
"Will ye think it be a grand laugh when my sea monsters rip ye limb from limb, matey?"
"Oh man, his field spell reduces the level of all water attribute monsters in both player's hands by one," Christine pointed out.
"That's right. So I be able to summon Orca Mega-Fortress of Darkness without a sacrifice. And I be doing just that." A giant black and white orca with a mass of weapons and equipement on its body and a large cannon in its mouth rose up on the Admiral's field. (4/2100-2300/1200-1400) "Now, me Orca Mega-Fortress, scuttle his Lady Heat. That means attack, ya swab!" The giant orca reared its head back and fired a blast from the cannon in its mouth, obliterating Jaden's heroine. "I be expecting more from you, Jaden."
"Huh?"
"It be true, I know who ye be. Yer deck, yer victories. Oh yes, I studied you like a map. A map with a handsome treasure.
"I'm not sure what you mean by that, so I'll just play my trap, Hero Signal. Thanks to this, since you destroyed one of my monsters, I get to summon an elemental hero that'll fit right in with the playing field. Elemental Hero Ocean." Jaden's blue and white aquatic hero rose up in front of his, getting a boost as he kneeled down with his arms crossed. (4-3/1500-1700/1200-1400)
"That's bein more like it. This is why I came to find ye! I place one card face-down and be endin my turn."
"Me?" Jaden wondered as he drew. "Why? And while you think about it, during my standby phase, thanks to Ocean's ability, I can pick an elemental hero on my field or graveyard and put it right in my hand." Lady Heat slid out from the graveyard and Jaden picked it up. "Then I'll bring out Elemental Hero Stratos." The blue skinned hero with airplane like wings stood up next to Ocean. (4/1800/300) "And thanks to his effect, I can add another elemental hero from my deck to my hand, like elemental Hero Heat. Now I play the spell card Hero's Bond. This lets me give my guys a little more company by summoning two more heroes from my hand, provided they're level four or less. So let's welcome Heat and Lady Heat." The fiery heroine rose up again, accompanied by her male counterpart. (4/1300/1000) (4/1600/1200) "And what's cool about Heat, or rather, what's hot, is that he gains 200 extra attack points for every elemental hero I've got out." The male fire hero flexed his muscles, gaining a boost from the presence of his allies. (4/1600-2400/1200)
"Alright, now he's got a monster with enough points to fry that orca," Jeremy pointed out.
"I switch Ocean to attack mode…" Jaden's aquatic hero stood up from his defensive position, trident like weapon at the ready. (3/1700/1400) "And have my Hero Heat take the fight to your monster." Jaden's fiery hero ignited his fists and dashed towards the enemy monster.
"I reveal my trap, Tornado Wall. As long as I have Umi out on the field, I don't take any damage from yer attacking monsters. And since my ocean is treated like it, yer attacks are as worthless as fish floppin on a deck."
"Oh yeah? Well I can still barbecue that whale since heat has more attack points." The Heat then jumped up and brought his flaming fists down on the orca's head, vanquishing it, although the appearance of pillars of water behind it prevent damage from going on to the Admiral. "And then I'll throw down another face-down, as well as Mirage of Nightmare and let Lady Heat take another crack at your score." Lady Heat conjured up two bigger fireballs and launched them straight at Jaden's opponent, who cried out and swatted his coat as they made contact.
Admiral: 3800-3000
"So, what's so important about me, huh? Why'd you go through all this trouble?" Jaden asked.
"Well lad… Listen, the Admiral's to be building a new Duel Academy at the bottom of the briny deep. Watta you think? But, there be a hitch. He still needs a first mate. A mate who be grand… a mate like ye!" he said, pointing at Jaden. "And ye'll help me run it, ya swab."
"Me?"
"Not Jaden!" Alexis exclaimed. "He can't leave us!"
"Why not? It is an amazing opportunity," Bastion pointed out.
"Good!" Chazz said. "Maybe now I'll get a new room."
"Jaden!" the Admiral spoke up again. "Ye be the finest duelist on the seven seas. I want ye to teach with me. Ye'd be great."
"It's true." The brunette Slifer admitted. "I mean, I have taught Chazz a few things."
"Then you're in! Welcome aboard!"
"Uhh, I was joking."
"Were ye!? Then what say ye to a friendly wager? Tween mates?"
Jaden had a pensive expression on his face as he thought it over. "Forget it!"
"I ain't be asking ye, I be telling ye! The duel is begun, and them wages be set. If ye win, I be letting ye and ye mates go free. But if ye lose, ye leave Duel Academy and join me!" Jaden and his friends all gasped in surprise.
The Admiral laughed at this. "It be being my turn now."
"Which means my Mirage spell activates." Jaden announced, shaking off his stupor. "During your standby phase, I can draw until I'm holding four cards."
"I play me own spell, Moray of Greed. So by sendin two water monsters to my deck, I get a bounty of three new cards. then I play the Water Hazard. When my field be bare, this lets me special summon up to a level four water monster from my hand. So I'll be summoning Mermaid Knight." A mermaid with a green lower body, reddish hair, wearing blue armor and holding a wicked sword and shield came up before the Admiral, looking ready to fight. (3/1500-1700/700-900) "Then I summon Star Boy." A red starfish with pointy teeth and a single eye in the center of its forehead appeared next to the mermaid. (1/550-750/500) "Thanks to his special ability, not only do all water monsters gain a 500 attack points, but all fire monsters lose 400 points." The red starfish monster did a strange dance, causing water to surge on both sides of the field, powering up the water monsters, but making Heat and Lady Heat weaker. (1/750-1250/900) S.B. (3/1700-2200/1400) E.H.O. (3/1700-2200/900) M.K. (4/2400-2000/1200) E.H.H (4/1300-900/1000) E.H.L.H.
"Now me Star Boy be making yer Lady Heat walk the mutinous plank." The starfish creature swam forward, tackling the weakened heroine.
Jaden: 4000-3650
And with him gone, Heat became even weaker. (4/2000-1800/1200) "Then I'll have me Mermaid Knight destroy yer flyin friend." The mermaid lunged at Stratos, striking him with her sword.
Jaden: 3650-3250
(4/1800-1600/1200) "And thanks to her effect, she be able to kick yer other hot headed friend overboard."
"He's right." Bastion realized. "As long as Umi is on the field, or A Legendary Ocean, Mermaid Knight can attack twice per turn." The monster in question then took out Heat with another swing of her blade.
Jaden: 3250-2650
"I play Emergency Provisions. So by kicking a spell or trap card off the field, like my Mirage of Nightmare, my life-points get an extra one triple zero. And I won't have to get rid of any of my cards when my turn comes back around."
Jaden: 2650-3650
"Man, I haven't gotten this wet this that walrus show at Sea Land," Jaden commented.
"Tis no theme park!"
"Well it could be. You just need some rides."
"Then I'll be I ending my turn with one face-down."
"And I'll use Ocean's effect to pick up Elemental Hero Stratos, and then summon him." (4/1800/300)
"Is that the best ye can do? Even if ye keelhaul my monsters, I be takin no damage thanks to my Tornado Wall."
"You missed the boat, Admiral." Jaden said with a grin. "Lemme fill ya in. When he's summoned, I can activate one of two effect. The second, is that for every hero on the field other than himself, I can destroy one of your spell or trap cards. So you can say goodbye to A Legendary Ocean. And with that gone, so is your Tornado Wall." Stratos sent out a tornado that destroyed the field spell, returning the surrounding to normal and taking Tornado Wall along with it. (1-2/1250-1050/700-500) S.B. (3-4/2200-2000/900-700) M.K (3-4/2200-2000/1400-1200) E.H.O "And now Ocean attacks your Star Boy." Jaden's water hero dashed forward and sliced the red starfish in half with his weapon.
Admiral: 3000-2050
(4/2000-1500/700) M.K. (4/2000-1500/1200) E.H.O. "Stratos, take out his Mermaid Knight." The armed mermaid was promptly hit by a hard punch that sent her colliding with the Admiral, knocking her out of the duel and him off his feet.
Admiral: 2050-1750
"Then I'll throw down a couple of face-downs."
"Perchance a deal?" The Admiral proposed as he stood up. "We maroon this duel now, and you come work for me for a thousand doubloons."
"How much did he say?" Chazz asked.
"That's over a million dollars!" Bastion exclaimed.
"That is a lot of booty!" Alexis noted.
"I beg your pardon?" The Ra yellow boy asked.
"So what say ye, Jaden? Do you want to be rich?"
"Nope! Don't you get it? I don't care about the money."
"You don't? But what have ye back at Duel Academy, ye swab. Ye mate Syrus doesn't want ye."
"Wow, he sure did his homework." Chazz noted.
"Syrus?" Alexis asked, looking at the two Slifers. "What happened?"
"Sy and Jaden had a bit of a… falling out." the blond boy explained. "And that'd be why he didn't want to come with us."
"Ohh…"
"Mull it over whilst we duel." The Admiral spoke up as he drew. "But remember, if I win, ye be mine, either way. And now, I play this, Card of Sanctity. So treasure be raining down, letting us both draw until we're each holding a total of six cards." Admiral drew the full six cards, while Jaden picked up three. "Then we both be drawing three more cards thanks to Spellbook inside the Pot."
"He must have something up his sleeve to be letting Jaden draw this many cards," Christine said.
"Now I play the spell Cost Down, getting rid of a card in my hand to reduce the levels of all monsters in my hand by two. Then I discard Warrior of Atlantis to add A Legendary Ocean from my deck to my hand, then play it." The surroundings changed to reflect the field spell once more. (4-3/1500-1700/1200-1400) "Now I be able to summon this next monster without a sacrifice. Levia-Dragon – Daedelus." An impressive blue sea-serpent with red spikes and fins roared as it appeared on the field, showing a mouthful of sharp teeth. (4/2600-2800/1500-1700)
"Nice fish." Jaden said. "Does he bite?"
"Yes, but he won't be getting the chance, cause he's just a sacrifice. Now hold on to yer britches, for there be an even better monster. And he be called Ocean Dragon Lord - Neo Daedelus." Daedalus evolved until it became even bigger, more menacing and had two heads. (7/2900-3100/1600-1800) "Then I be playing Monster Reborn, to bring back Spiral Serpent that I discarded." Another sea-serpent appeared on the field, this one with a wider body and slightly different appearance, but big and menacing nonetheless. (8/2900-3100/2900-3100) "But he won't be here for long, because I reveal me face-down, Interdimensional Matter Transporter. So my Serpent be removed from play till the end of the turn."
"And now, you'd best be wary of Ocean Dragon Lord's special ability." The Admiral warned Jaden as he took his field spell and placed it in the graveyard. "By sending me Legendary Ocean to the graveyard, the whole lot of cards on this here field of war, and in our hands, meet a dastardly end!" The powerhouse monster reared its head back and blasted the entire field with a big beam of purple energy, leaving Jaden exposed and forcing both players to get rid of the cards in their hands. (7-8/3100-2900/1800-1600) "Ramparts be down, fire all forward batteries. In other words, attack!" Admiral's monster let out another beam of energy, this one blue, which hit Jaden directly, taking out a big chunk of his score and causing him to fall to his knees.
Jaden: 3650-750
"Now I be ending me turn, which means Spiral Serpent's coming back." The other big sea monster rose to the field again. (8/2900/2900) "Ye be my treasure now. Dar ain't be nothing you can do to stop me monsters!"
"We'll just see about that. I still got one draw left… mate." 'It's all or nothing,' Jaden thought to himself as he looked at his deck.
"Jaden's going to need something big to pull off a victory here." Alexis said.
"Let's hope." Bastion added.
"Here goes." Jaden declared as he drew. "And I special summon Elemental Hero Bubbleman!" The blue armored, caped water hero appeared standing in front of Jaden. (3/800/1200)
"What be so special about him?"
"I'll tell you. Bubbleman hates being out all alone. So if he's the last card in my hand, I get to special summon him automatically. And if he's the only card on the field when he makes his grand appearance, I can draw two cards from my deck."
"Blast!"
"Oh, and Admiral? I'm not done yet. I now activate Pot of Greed, so I get two more cards."
"Ye swine!"
"If you didn't like that, then you'll hate this. I play Miracle Fusion, so I can fusion summon an elemental hero using monsters on my field and in my graveyard. So I'll remove Elemental Hero Ocean and the Elemental Hero Woodsman you forced me to get rid of. All to create, Elemental Hero Terra Firma." Ocean and Woodsman appeared before Jaden, before jumping into a fusion vortex and emerging as the impressive Legendary Planet monster. (8/2500/2000)
"Then I'll play Elemental Recovery. When I have an elemental hero out on the field, this lets me get back a spell from the grave so long as I remove one Polymerization. And in case you were wondering, you're the one who sent Polymerization to the graveyard. So now I'll fuse Heat and Lady Heat to bring out Elemental Hero Inferno." The two fire heroes lunged at each other, creating a tower of flames when they collided. The blazed died down a moment later, revealing a new fiery hero with white orange on his body, and covered in tough orange armor with flames. His hands were mad of solid magma, and in the center of his chest was a ball of flaming rock. (8/2300/1600) "There's more. I summon Elemental Hero Avian." The green feathered hero appeared on the field next to Terra Firma. (3/1000/1000)
"Ye must be off yer rocker." The Admiral said, laughing a little at Jaden. "Ye just summoned four monsters, and not one of them can defeat my mighty beasts."
"Who said I was done? You see Terra Firma's ability allows me to sacrifice one elemental hero on the field, and absorb its attack points." Avian turned into a green light that flowed into the more powerful hero's body, boosting his attack point. (8/2500-3500/2000) "Now take out his Ocean Dragon Lord with Earth Impact!" Terra Firma's entire body started glowing white, and then he dove at his target, slamming both fists into the sea-serpents head with such strength that the blow resounded throughout the entire sub.
Admiral: 1750-1150
"Now Inferno, turn that Spiral Serpent into a sushi special."
"Are you daft?" The crazy fat sailor asked. "Me sea monster has more points than yer fire boy. Try again, ye salty swab."
"Actually, when he gets in a smack down with a water attribute monster, Inferno gains an extra 1000 attack points." The fiery giant's body became surrounded by towering flames, boosting his power. (8/2300-3300/1600) "Now he has enough points to make your dragon… go boom. Sweet effect, huh?" Inferno then charged at Spiral Serpent, slamming into it and burning it to a crisp.
Admiral: 1150-750
"And Admiral… you haven't forgotten about my Bubbleman, have you?" The Admiral shook in fright as he realized that his fate was sealed. "Bubbleman, shiver his timbers. Bubble Blast!" Bubbleman fired off a shot of water that blasted him off his feet and sent him flying over to Jaden's side of the field.
Admiral: 750-0
"And that's game."
'Arr… I might have been bested in this here duel, but tharr be another way to catch this wily fish Jaden,' the Admiral thought to himself as he lay down on Jaden's side of the field.
----"What do you mean, they left!?" Jaden asked as he and the Admiral entered the control room a short time after their duel.
"They took the first and only dinghy home." He explained.
"So I'm stuck?"
"I fear it be true."
"But…"
"See for yourself." Jaden looked at the monitors, which showed his friends going off in the boat that had brought them to the sub in the first place.
"So… what now?" Jaden asked, feeling a little down. "Uh… Admiral?"
"Now ye begin your new life under the sea, Jaden. Sheets to the wind, we be makin way to me first mate's new home!"
----Back on the docks, Jaden's friends were telling the others about what had happened on the submarine, including how the Admiral had told them that Jaden had changed his mind and decided to leave Duel Academy behind to come with him. "So he's really… gone, just like that?" Syrus asked once they were finished.
"I'm afraid so, Syrus." Alexis said.
"Apparently he decided to seize the opportunity that the Admiral presented him," Bastion added.
"Oh man." Chumley moaned. "So what're we gonna do without Jaden?"
"Somehow, I think I'll manage." Chazz said in his usual tone of voice, leaving them all behind.
"Come on, Sy." The large Slifer spoke to his friend. "Let's go back for now. Who knows, maybe Jaden'll come back soon."
"If you say so." He replied in a downcast voice.
