Make Yourself at Home

All was quiet in the empty dormitory when suddenly the computer screen on the desk flared into life and seconds later there was aloud crash followed by several groans. On the floor was a large pile consisting of the newly formed Digidestined team with their Digimon partners lying on top of them. "Well this is just great, being squashed between Syrus and Bastion is just how I wanted to spend my day." Chazz said sarcastically.
"Where are we anyway?" Mimi asked as she dislodged herself from the pile.
"Well judging by the yellow carpet and curtains I'd say we're back at Duel Academy. Plus judging by all the writing on the wall that to me makes no sense we're in Bastion's dorm room." Tai replied.
Soon all of them were back on their feet a beeping was heard indicating Bastion he'd got mail. "I say it's from Gennai." He reported, "It says that we'll be contacted if we are needed. He goes onto say we can access Digital Gates from any computer, all we need to is point our D-arcs at the screen and it will create one for us to access." A beeping was heard and the screens on the D-arc glowed momentarily.
"Guess this means that program has become available." Zane said as he stared at the devise in his hand.
"Well that's all well and good but what do we tell Banner and the others where we've been and why we didn't show up for the test yesterday?" Syrus said.
Tai meanwhile was going through the features on his D-arc when he came across a clock and calendar feature. "I wouldn't worry." he told his fellow Slifer.
Everyone then checked said feature on their own devises. "Great Scott, it's just after four in the afternoon and the date is the same as when we left. According to this we've only been gone two hours." Bastion exclaimed.
"Yeah, time moves faster in the Digital World. Guess we should have mentioned that." Mimi said sheepishly.
"We still have a problem guys." Jaden said, "I mean it's cool and all that Monodramon and the others are here, but what are we gonna do with them?"
"The Sarge does have a point." Hassleberry added, "I mean it's not like they can just run around campus, people would see um. People would freak out."
"I agree with Hassleberry and Jaden. I doubt anyone would believe that they came from another dimension. And no matter how friendly and open minded Sheppard is they can't just roam the island as they please." Zane said, "Crowler would most likely have them shipped off to some lab to be dissected and tests run on them before the day was through."
Alexis felt something on her leg and looking down saw Salamon looking up at her with sad eyes. "Please don't let them Alexis, I don't want to be taken away from you."
Alexis gave her a small smile a knelt down till she was almost eye level with the pink creature. "Don't worry, I'd never let anyone take you." She told her in a reassuring tone.
Monodramon then appeared beside the pink beast type. "Don't worry Salamon I'd never let anyone take you away, if anyone tried they'd have to go through me first and I'd pound um into the ground." He said flashing her a grin.
"Thanks Monodramon." Salamon replied.
Meanwhile Tai had taken Mimi aside. "So, uh, what are you going to do now?" he asked.
"Huh." Mimi responded, unsure what the brunette was getting at.
"I mean do you wanna call your parents and tell them about your situation?" Tai said.
"No I…" she then looked like she was about to cry but she instantly turned away from him.
"Mimi." Tai said, concern colouring his voice.
"I…I can't go home." Then to her surprise Mimi felt Tai wrap his arms around her.
"Hey, its ok." He whispered into her ear she then managed to turn herself around so she was now facing him, all without breaking his embrace.
"Could I…could I possibly stay here with you, just for a little bit. It's just that things aren't too great for me at home right now." She asked.
"Yeah of course." He replied he then released her and turned to the others, "Chazz you're giving up your room for the night."
"What!" The ebony haired duelist exclaimed.
"Mimi will be sticking around for a while so she'll need a place to crash." Tai told him, "The boat from the main land arrives early tomorrow morning, we can just say Meems is a transfer student from another school till then she can crash in Chazz's room tonight and we can find figure something out in the morning. As for Agumon and the other digimon, guess we'll just have to hide them as best we can till we can think of something more permanent."
It took another twenty minutes of arguing but they eventually got Chazz to agree when Hassleberry mentioned that his room in the Ra dorm was still vacant, afterwards the gang split up Chazz headed back to the Slifer dorm to get his room ready for Mimi and Zane headed back to his own dorm. Bastion had already got to work on creating some documentation for Mimi.
Tai, Jaden, Hassleberry Syrus and Alexis meanwhile escorted Mimi to the main campus building planning to sneak into the school stores and 'borrow' a uniform for Mimi. "So what are we gonna do, she can't be in Obelisk Blue." Alexis said, "I mean Ms Fontaine is great and all but Crowler will ask too many questions."
"Well she could always do what Blair did." Syrus suggested, Jaden's sudden outbreak of the shudders uncomfortably didn't go unnoticed.
"Who's Blair?" Mimi asked.
"This kid who sneaked in because she had a crush on Zane by disguising herself as a boy. She ended up dueling Jay and, well, her affection were transferred to him." Tai replied, "Anyways I don't think that's going to work with you Meems, she was only 11 and you're, ah…how do I put this? You're more…developed."
"...I'm not sure whether I should take that as a compliment be offended." Mimi said.
"Actually Slifer Red might be the best place for her. If she's a transfer student she'd have to start there as the semester has already started, plus no on will ask any questions." Jaden suggested.
"Good thinking sarge." Hassleberry said, "Plus we'll be able to keep an eye on her."
Tai then pulled a Slifer blazer out of a locker. "Here, I know it's a little big but please note this is a boys blazer. And there aren't any girls currently in Slifer."
Mimi looked at the article as it was handed to her. "Does anyone know where I can find a sewing kit?" She asked.
"Err…I'm sure I could borrow one from one of my roommates for you, but why?" Alexis asked.
"Oh I figured if I'm gonna wear this then no one would mind if made some minor alterations to it." Mimi replied which caused everyone to sweat drop.
----Later that night Mimi lay on Chazz's double bed listening to the waves that crashed against the cliff below, Palmon lay next to her sound asleep. 'How did I get here, when did everything get so complicated?' images began flashing before her eyes.
Her parents in the kitchen.
Her father raising a glass of whisky to his mouth.
Her mother in the bathtub crying her eyes out.
Michael smiling then in a flash he had a look of pure hatred that truly frightened her. A she raised her hand to her left cheek which she was hidden from sight by her hair (AN: yeah I should have mentioned that last chapter, sorry) a tear rolled her face. 'How did my life become such a mess?'
----Tai was staring up at the ceiling of the room he shared with Jaden Syrus and Hassleberry who along with their partners and his were sound asleep however Tai found himself restless. Shaking his head he got out of bed and as quietly as he could existed the room and headed out to get some air. It was then he heard the sound of someone crying and it was coming from Mimi's room.
"Mimi, Mimi its me Tai. Are you alright?" he asked knocking gently on the door, it was then to his surprise he found that the door was unlocked. Hoping he didn't see anything that would be deemed inappropriate (as it would most likely end up with him in a great deal of pain) he slowly opened the door and saw Mimi sitting on the bed clad only in her underwear (which had an image of Ichigo Kurosaki from BLEACH printed on them) and a t-shirt he had lent her.
"Tai." She said seeing him standing the doorway.
"I heard you crying." Tai said entering the room closing the door behind him, he then got the shock of his life when she leapt out of bed wrapped her arms around his neck and crushed her lips against his
"Mimi what the…" he said when he was finally able to break the kiss.
"Tai, don't leave me here alone. Tell me I'm beautiful, say you love me. Anything, I don't care if it's a lie. Please, just hold me. I don't want to he alone." She then buried her head in his shoulder and began sobbing Tai gently picked her up and placed her on the bed before sitting down next to her.
"Mimi what's wrong, did something happen?" he asked. Mimi said nothing she pulled back the hair that covered her left cheek revealing a bruise that marred her skin.
"Who did this?" Tai asked his voice was hard and his eyes showed signs of anger Mimi turned her gaze to the ground, "Mimi, tell me."
"M…Michael…he…he hit me." She choked out, "He...he took me out to dinner, then we went dancing. Then he mentioned this place that would serve us drinks so we went there, I was expecting it to be really seedy but it's was nice there so we had a few drinks then around midnight he call a cab and we went back to his place as his parents were away. That's when things got…"
She stopped and let out a choked sob Tai however got the idea. "He said something about going to his room then when I said I no he got angry and then…" she then broke down again burying her head in his chest.
Tai on the other hand sat there his body felt numb this however was instantly replaced by rage, when he first met her Mimi had been a spoilt self absorbed little rich girl but over the course of their adventures had grown into one of the strongest people he knew. And now due to the actions of another so-called Digidestined, someone who he was supposed to trust to do right by each other, she had been reduced to a sobbing child.
Something suddenly occurred to him what if something else happened that night, what if Michael…he didn't even want to consider it but from Mimi's current demeanour he couldn't help but think that. And if that was the case Tai was going to do to Michael want he had done to Datamon years ago when he'd kidnapped Sora.
"I'll kill him." he hissed, his eyes momentarily flashed red. Mimi's eyes shot open upon hearing this looking up she saw a murderous look in his eyes, "I'm gonna grab my D-arc, find a Digital Gate to the States then I'm gonna rip his heart out of his chest and ram it back down his throat."
He was about to rise from the bed when Mimi's hold on him became even tighter. "Tai, no." she begged.
"Mimi let me go." Tai ordered, "Let go of me NOW."
"Tai you're scaring me." Mimi said, her voice trembling in terror. Her tone being enough to snap Tai out of his anger educed haze.
"Oh god." He then wrapped his arms around her, "I'm sorry. Meem's I…" he paused a moment. "I'm sorry but I have to know, did he do anything else?"
"No," Mimi replied, "He'd had a few drinks by then and he passed out before anything else could happen."
Tai breathed a sigh of relief. The two of them then sat there on the bed entwined with one another till Tai broke the silence. "Don't worry I promise I won't let anyone hurt you ever again." he then broke the embrace and got up.
"Guess I should be heading back to my own room now." He was about to head over to the door when Mimi grabbed his arm again.
"Tai, would you…stay with me tonight." She asked him,
Tai looked at her. "Okay."
She budged over allowing him to get in beside her and Tai pulled the covers over them, soon the two of them were taken by slumbers sweet embrace once again entwined with one another.
----Sunlight filtered in through the gap in the curtains falling upon the two teens who occupied the bed, just the sound of someone yelling "Go Elemental HERO Wildedge, attack with Infinity Edge Slicer." Followed by the sound of a cry then something hitting the ground which aroused the pair from slumber.
"Ah the traditional wake up call." Tai groaned, he noticed that Mimi was rested her head on his chest who was also beginning to stir and looked at him with her cinnamon eyes meeting his chocolate brown ones.
"Hey." She said.
"Hey yourself," he replied, "You feeling any better?"
"Yeah, thanks for last night." She told him, a small blush forming on her cheeks, "...and I'm sorry about, y'know, that kiss."
"Hey don't worry about it." he replied let out a little nervous laugh, "I should go and get ready for school, got this test I have to take in about an hour."
"Oh, good luck." She told him.
Tai nodded before untangling himself from her before getting out of bed and headed for the door, "I'll see you later." He said before opening the door. Mimi watched him leave, once the door had closed she brought her hand up and touched her lips. Unbeknown to her that outside the door Tai was doing the same thing.
----It felt as though they'd spent an eternity in that room but finally the school day was over, once they were free the gang, minus Chazz and Zane,decided to meet up with Mimi and as well as now let the Digimon out for some air. After grabbing some food from the cafeteria they found themselves a nice shady spot near the Slifer dorm, trying their best to keep their partners for eating all their food. Whilst the group of friends amused themselves Bastion was busy scribbling away on a piece of scrap paper.
"Hey Bastion, what you up to?" Jaden asked peering over the yellows shoulder he'd written the names of various duel monster cards, "You're building another deck?"
"Yes, I'm creating a special deck to support FanBeemon." Bastion informed him, "My main problem right now is that none of my current decks contain any insect cards so I'm making a list of what cards are the best to make the most of his abilities."
"Hmm tough one." Hassleberry spoke up, "FanBeemon can only handle the power of level 4 and lower monsters and most insect cards of that level tend to be quiet weak whilst the stronger ones are usually level's 5 and higher."
"Don't worry You'll think of something Bastion, I mean you are the smartest guy I know." Jaden said. Just then the sound of footsteps heading towards them was heard.
"Crud, quick you guys hide and stay quiet till they've gone." Tai hissed ushering the Digimon to hide behind a nearby bush.
Just as soon as they were hidden a group of boys from Obelisk Blue appeared and walked up to them, amongst them was a guy with blond hair in the same style Matt had when during his first adventure in the Digital World.
"Hey there Alexis," he said, his voice oozing with confidence, flashing what he thought was a winning smile, "Y'know I was wondering if you'd like to hang with me instead of these Slifer Red rejects." His smarmy attitude was making Tai's skin crawl and looking at the group he wasn't the only one.
"As tempting as that sounds I'm afraid I must decline." Alexis relied, not even meeting the boys gaze.
"What, you'd rather hang out with a bunch of reject trash from Slifer then one of the top first years in Obelisk Blue?" the blue student cried out.
"Much rather." Alexis replied. The blue student looked as though he was about to blow his top when Jaden appeared between him and Alexis.
"Hey, lets all just chill for a second." He said his voice cheerful but Tai could tell that this guy bugged him too.
"Your that Jaden Yuki kid." The blue student said.
"Yeah, nice to meet ya bro." Jaden holding his hand to the boy who slapped it away.
"I'm not your bro you Slifer scum." the blue snarled, "You make me sick. Thinking someone like you is worthy to be in the presence of someone like Alexis. You and your little group of dead lasts."
"What you say?" Tai snapped, he was about to give the blue students a piece of his mind curtsy of his fist when Bastion and Hassleberry restrained him.
"Whoa there Corporal." Hassleberry said as he he did his best to told Tai back.
"Ooh so you got some yellows as your little toadies as well." The blond jackass said in a snide tone, "I guess that just goes to show you why we in Obelisk Blue are the top of the heap here and you Slifer and Ra reject will never amount to shit."
"I beg your pardon?" Bastion demanded.
"You heard me, you may have beaten a third rate hack like Princeton but against an elite like myself you'd be crushed like the insect you are." The blue student said a superior smirk on his face, his words clearly touching a nerve with both Bastion and Hassleberry who both sported aggressive looks.
"That's enough." Everyone got a shock when Jaden snapped at the blue student, they'd never seen Jaden raise his voice to anyone, "No one insults my friends and no one tells Alexis who she can and can't hang out with. You think just cos your in Obelisk you're superior to everyone else. Well if you're so sure why don't we throw down here and now."
The blue seemed stunned for a second then a sinister grin spread across his face. "Fine, my deck is unbeatable. I'll be known throughout the whole island a the guy who beat the 'invincible' Jaden Yuki, then Alexis will be fawning all over me after she see's what a loser you are."
Both of them strapped on their duel disks inserted their decks and drew five cards. "DUEL!"
[JLP: 4000] "Alright now get your game on." Jaden drew his first card "I'll start by playing E-Emergency Call."
E-Emergancy Call
Type: Basic Spell
Add 1 "Elemental HERO" monster from your Deck to your hand.
"With this i can transfer an Elemental Hero from my deck to my hand." Jaden explained, he then went through his deck and picked a card from it. "Next I summon Elemental HERO Bubbleman."
Elemental HERO Bubbleman

If this is the only card in your hand, you can Special Summon it (from your hand). When this card is Summoned: You can draw 2 cards. You must control no other cards and have no cards in your hand to activate and to resolve this effect
A man wearing dark blue spandex as well as light blue helmet chest plate shoulder pads gloves boots and a white cape along with to water tanks strapped to its back that were connected to a small water cannon mounted to a metal wrist guard. "And since Bubbleman's the only card on my field I get to pick up 2 more cards." Jaden then drew again, "Next I'll throw down a face down and end my turn."
[OBSLP: 4000]"That's it, how sad." His opponent snarked as he drew his card, "I play Rapid Fire Magician."
Rapid Fire Magician
ATK: 1600/DEF: 1200/Level: 4/Attribute: Dark/Type: Spellcaster/Effect

A man wearing a black leather outfit carrying 2 sceptres appeared. "Now Magician, attack this piece of trash." The mage then fired two orbs of magical energy which destroyed Bubbleman [JLP: 3200].
"But guess what scum it gets better, if either of us play's a spell card whilst he's on the field you take 400 damage." The student explained before selecting another card from his hand, "Like this one for example, Magical Blast. This hits you for 200 damage for each Spellcasters on my field."
Magical Blast

Activate only while you control a Spellcaster-Type monster. Inflict 200 damage to your opponent for each Spellcaster-Type monster you control. If this card is in your Graveyard, you can add it to your hand instead of conducting your normal draw during your Draw Phase.
A ball of energy emerged from the card and struck Jaden in the chest then a red aura appeared around the magician causing Jaden to lose another 600 points [JLP: 2600]. "Oh and I'm afraid I have some more bad news for ya because I can add it to my hand every turn. Sure I have to give up my draw phase but with this combo I won't need it to defeat you." The blue further taunted our hero, "Now make your pathetic move."
Jaden breathed deep as he drew. 'I need to find someway to stop his combo, the only thing I can think of is to destroy his magician so I won't lose another 400 points every time he plays a spell. Unfortunately he still has Magical Blast and he can play that with any Spellcaster monster but it's all I got.' "Alright I play Elemental HERO Stratos."
Elemental HERO Stratos
ATK: 1800/DEF: 300/Level: 4/Attribute: Wind/Type: Warrior/Effect

A man wearing a blue and white outfit as well as a helmet complete with visor as well as a pair of metal wings strapped to its back with jet turbines in them appeared. "I use Stratos ability to take a HERO from my deck add it to my hand." He explained as he searched through his deck before selecting a card from it. "Now I play H-Heated Heart which hooks my monster up with 500 extra points."

(EHS 1800→2300) [JLP: 2200] "Now attack with Cyclone Force..." The turbines began spinning creating a tornado that ripped the magician to shreds [OBSLP: 3300].
A scowl appeared momentarily on the blue students face, the graveyard slot of his Duel Disk lit up and a card slipped out of it "I add Magical Blast to my hand, then I'll play Blast Magician in defense mode.
Blast Magician

"Next I activate Magical Blast dealing you 200 points of damage." A man wearing red robes appeared crouching behind a scythe like staff, then a second ball of magical energy was created and fired at Jaden [JLP: 2000].
Jaden then took his next turn. "I play Elemental Hero Sparkman." he declared.
Elemental Hero Sparkman
ATK: 1600/DEF: 1400/Level: 4/Attribute: Light/Type: Warrior
The familiar blue and gold clad man appeared on the field beside his fellow HERO. "Stratos attack Blast Magician and Sparkman attack directly with Spark Flash..." Straros created another cyclone that destroyed the magician and from it emerged Sparkman who fired an orb of electrical power at the Obelisk student [OBSLP: 1700]
"Next I play my face down card, Elemental Recharge," Jaden announced,
Elemental Recharge
Type: Basic Trap
Gain 1000 Life Points for each "Elemental HERO" monster you control
"Thanks to this I can boosts my lifepoints by 1000 for each Elemental Hero on my field." Jaden explained as his lifepoints were restored [JLP: 4000].
The blue student took his next turn, opting to draw a new card instead of adding Magical Blast to his hand. "I play Pot of Greed so I can draw 2 cards." He declared before drawing again.
Pot of Greed
Type: Basic Spell
Draw 2 cards
He then played one of the cards he'd drawn "Next is the spell card Reload."
Reload
Type: Quick-Play Spell
Add all cards in your hand to your Deck and shuffle it. Then draw the same number of cards that you added to your Deck
"This sends my current hand back to the deck, and after shuffling lets me draw the same number of cards." Following the cards instructions the student drew four new cards. "Now I play Royal Magical Library in defence mode."
Royal Magical Library

Each time a Spell Card is activated, place 1 Spell Counter on this card (max 3). You can remove 3 Spell Counters from this card to draw 1 card
A large book shelf appeared behind him. "Next I play Nightmare's Steelcage meaning neither of us can attack for the next two turns."
Nightmare Steel Cage
Type: Basic Spell
This card remains face-up on the field for 2 of your opponent's turns. No monsters can attack. Destroy this card during your opponent's 2nd End Phase after this card was activated
"This also activates the special power of Royal Magical Library, adding a Spell Counter to it every time a spell card is played." A large cage appeared around Jaden and his monsters, at the same time one of the books on the library shelves lit up.
Jaden let out a frustrated sigh as he drew. "I play R - Righteous Justice,"
R-Rightous Justice
Type: Basic Spell
Destroy Spell/Trap Cards equal to the number of face-up "Elemental HERO" cards you control
"Thanks to this I can destroy spells and traps equal to the number of Elemental HERO I control, so your cage goes bye bye." The cage dematerialised, however the blue student wasn't phased by this in the least.
"So what, your R-Righteous Justice is a spell card so all you've done is help me out by placing another Counter on my Library." He retorted as he took his turn, "And here's a card you might recognise, Magical Blast which in turn puts a third counter on my monster." [JLP: 3800]. "Since my Royal Magical Library has three Counters I can use it's special ability, removing those Counters to draw another card." He drew a card his eyes lit up when he saw what he had drawn.
Jaden made his next move. "I may not be able to do anything right now but you can't hide behind that monster forever, at some point I'm play a monster that can destroy it." he said in a matter-o-fact tone, "For now I'll throw down a couple of face downs and call it a turn." Two cards appeared on the field.
"It doesn't matter, right now neither of your monsters can get through my defenses." The blue student stated.
"Great Scott," Bastion said, a look of realization on his face, "Now I see it."
"What?" Mimi asked
"His strategy. He can return Magical Blast to his hand each turn but it cancels out his draw phase. By removing spell counters from Royal Magical Library he can play Magical Blast and draw cards." The Ra genius replied, "Since Magical Blast returns to his hand each turn he can keep using its effect and keep adding counters to his monster as well inflict damage to Jaden."
"Maybe, but he still has to wait three turns till he can draw a card." Tai pointed out, "That gives Jay plenty of time to fight back."
Suddenly the blue student began laughing manically. "I actually your both wrong, I don't need my Library anymore." He told the pair, "I play the spell card Magical Dimension."
Magical Dimension
Type: Quick-Play Spell
If you control a face-up Spellcaster-Type monster: Target 1 monster you control; Tribute it, then Special Summon 1 Spellcaster-Type monster from your hand, then you can destroy 1 monster on the field
"What!" Tai exclaimed.
"Great Scott." Bastion gasped.
"Sam Hill." Hassleberry cried out.
"Ah man." Syrus added.
"Jaden." Alexis said in a worried tone.
"What's going on, why's everyone so freaked out?" Mimi asked.
"Magical Dimension is a very dangerous card Meems, by trading in Royal Magical Library he can now special summon a very powerful Spellcaster from his hand." Tai explained as a strange golden coffin like object held in place by chains appeared on the field, the large stacks of books were then sucked inside.
"That's right kid, maybe your not as dumb as your hairdo suggests," The blue student said, not even trying to hide the sneer that had spread across his face, "I trade in my Library to summon forth...Dark Magician."
Dark Magician
ATK: 2500/DEF: 2100/Level: 7/Attribute: Dark/Type: Spellcaster
The coffin opened and from which columns of smoke and standing there was the monster that had been the trademark of the King of Games himself. "And don't think your off the hook yet Slifer Scum, cos now Magical Dimensions other effect kicks in, so say good bye to your worthless Sparkman." Without warning the coffin exploded, Sparkman being destroyed by shrapnel.
"Don't worry Jaden you won't have to worry about fighting Dark Magician" His opponent told him, "Because I now trade him in to summon Dark Eradicator Warlock."
Dark Eradicator Warlock
ATK: 2500/DEF: 2100/Level: 7/Attribute: Dark/Type: Spellcaster/Effect
This card cannot be Normal Summoned or Set. This card cannot be Special Summoned except by Tributing 1 "Dark Magician" on your side of the field. While this card is face-up on the field, inflict 1000 points of damage to your opponent's Life Points each time either player activates 1 Normal Spell Card
The magician vanished and in his place stood another spellcaster wearing a long purple robe and wielding a trident like staff. "Dark Eradicator Warlock attack Elemental Hero Stratos." The mighty spellcaster unleashed a wave of purple energy destroying Stratos [JLP: 3200].
"And now I play Magical Blast again damaging your life points and activating my Warlocks special ability, he inflicts 1000 points of damage to you every time either of us plays a normal spell card." [JLP: 2200].
Jaden sweated as he drew a new card. "Kuri Kuri." Just then he heard the voice of his spirit partner.
'Kuriboh?' he then looked at the card he'd just drawn, "I'll throw down a face down and end my turn." A single card appeared on the field.
"What that's all he's doing." Syrus said, "He's got no defence, as soon as his opponent attacks he'll be wiped out."
Tai however wasn't worried, like Jaden he'd also heard the cry of Winged Kuriboh. "Don't worry Sy, Jay knows he'd doing." He reassured the short bluenette.
"Pathetic, so much for the 'invincible Jaden Yuki'. It's as I suspected, your nothing but a fraud who wins his duels by dumb luck." The blue student snorted, "We'll I'm about to expose you as the total loser you really are. Warlock attack and show this insect real power." The mage unleashed another wave of purple energy this time aimed at Jaden.
"I play my face down, The Flute of Summoning Kuriboh, Jaden announced.
The Flute of Summoning Kuriboh
Type: Quick-Play Spell
Add 1 "Kuriboh" or 1 "Winged Kuriboh" from your Deck to your hand, OR Special Summon 1 "Kuriboh" or 1 "Winged Kuriboh" from your Deck
"This lets me summon Winged Kuriboh to the field." Jaden said as the big eyed, brown furred creature with mini angels wings appeared ("Cute." Mimi squealed hearts in her eyes).
Winged Kuriboh
ATK: 300/DEF: 200/Level: 1/Attribute: Light/Type: Fairy/Effect
If this card on the field is destroyed and sent to the Graveyard: Any further Battle Damage you take this turn becomes 0
The wave if energy stuck Jaden's monster, destroying it instantly. 'Thanks pal.' Jaden though as he placed the card in his graveyard, "And that Winged Kuriboh is in the graveyard, I take no damage this turn."
The blue student snarled. 'Agh! I would have had him if it wasn't for that wretched dust bunny.'
Jaden drew a new card, a plan forming in his mind. "I activate my face down card Emergency Provisions, by releasing my other face down card I gain 1000 life points. He said, "Plus since Emergency Provisions is a quick play spell I don't take any damage."
Emergency Provisions
Type: Quick-Play Spell
Send any number of other Spell and Trap Cards you control to the Graveyard. Gain 1000 Life Points for each card sent
One of Jadens cards disappeared and a white aura appeared round his body [JLP: 3200]. "Next is O - Oversoul, this lets me special summon a normal Elemental HERO from my graveyard. And I choose Sparkman"
O-Oversoul
Type: Basic Spell
Target 1 "Elemental HERO" Normal Monster in your Graveyard; Special Summon that target
The hero wearing blue spandex and gold armor reappeared on the field however his opponent didn't seem impressed. "Yeah so, you just played a normal spell so you lose 1000 life point due to my Warlocks effect." [JLP: 2200].
Jaden however wasn't concerned. 'Kuriboh, this one's for you.' "Y'know this duel has been really sweet, the combo's you played were awesome. But I got a combo too and it totally rocks." He told his opponent, "First I banish from my grave H - Heated Heart, E - Emergency Call, R - Righteous Justice and O – Oversoul to activate the one and only HERO Flash!" [JLP: 1200].

"And get this, this turn all normal Elemental Hero can attack your life points directly."
"Awesome." Tai cried enthusiastically from the side lines.
"Go you two activate HERO Flash…" Jaden ordered. Both HERO's glanced at one other and nodded, leaping into the air they unleashed their respective attacks at the Obelisk student draining the rest of his life points [OBSLP: 0].
"That's game." Jaden said doing his victory pose.
The blue student stared up at Jaden, a murderous glare in his eyes, when a shadow fell over him. Turning around, he saw Laxus with a outstretched hand that had electricity sparking around it, daring him to try anything. The student and his cronies ran off, not wanting to be zapped into unconsciousness. 
"I don't get it, what was that guy's problem?" Mimi asked.
"Oh yeah, I forgot to tell you." Tai said slapping his forehead, "This school is split into three rankings: Slifer Red, Ra Yellow and Obelisk Blue. Me, Jaden and Sy are in Slifer, we're the lowest ranked cos although our dueling skills kick ass are grades aren't that great. Bastion and Sarge are in Ra, they're students who have both good grades and dueling skills and have a great deal of potential. Alexis, Laxus and Zane are in Obelisk which is the top ranking dorm, they're supposed to be the best duelist in the whole school but to be honest it's a load of crap, present company excluded and to a point Alexis's roommates, and are pretty much all bunch stuck up snobby assholes."
"Can we come out now?" A voice from the bushes asked.
"Oh yeah, I almost forgot you guys were hiding there." Jaden said, sounding a litre embarrassed, "Yeah you can come now." The Digimon emerged from the bush along with Gaomon. "So what did you guys think of my duel, pretty sweet huh?"
"That was awesome, you kicked that guys butt." Monodramon replied a grin spread across his face.
"So that was a duel. How come you didn't duel Tai?" Agumon said.
"Don't worry Agumon, this is Duel Academy. Everyone here eats, sleeps and breaths Duel Monsters." Tai told his orange skinned partner.
"Yeah but I bet Alexis is a much better duelist then any of you." Salamon stated this then led to the Digimon arguing which of their partner was the better duelist whilst Tai and the others watched on bemused. This carried on for sometime till it started getting late, everyone then split up to head back to their respective dorms.
----Kari didn't know where she was but it reeeally gave her the creeps. She walked along the streets of the city but the thing was there was no people whilst the cold moon shone down from above and a layer of mist covered the ground. The fact she was naked didn't improve her situation any. (AN: for visual refrence the city looks like the one when Jaden plays Skyscarper)
"Poor little child of light all alone, everyone you thought cared about you has abandoned you." A voice that seemed to come from all around her, looking up she saw him the one being who till this day haunted her dreams standing there in his blue suit black cape blond hair and red mask "Myotismon." She gasped.
Even though his physical body and data had been destroyed by Imperialdramon over a year and a half ago and there was no way of coming back for him she still feared him. To her he would always be alive in her world. He would always be after her. Waiting for her in the darkest corners of her mind ready to pounce when she least expected. Always preying on her fear.
"You know it's true. Look around your partner nor your pathetic teammates are here to protect you even your brother, your so-called hero, decided he can't stand you and who can blame them. You're a weak little child who isn't capable of standing on her own two feet, always needing someone to come to your rescue. Except there's no one coming this time. You're all mine."
Just then a shining light appeared from above "What?" the vampire exclaimed.
Looking up Kari saw a pair if figures. The first looked to be a man with green skin and was wearing gleaming white and gold armor with a pair of large metallic devises on its back that kinda looked like wings with seven large beam of energy that were tinted green. The other was very different, appearing to be a large metallic hydra like creature with six heads.
Just then a wall of flames erupted from the ground, looking behind her Kari saw a person standing amongst the flames with blazing red eyes, although she couldn't make out any of the persons features he seemed familiar to her. Then the person transformed into a large black dragon its red eyes sparkling like rubies, it let loose an ear splitting roar before spreading its wings and taking flight.
"What is this?" Myotismon's eyes were wide with fear. The three newcomers unleashed a multitude of attacks, their combined energies instantly vaporised the vampire, the light from above grew brighter till it consumed everything.
----Kari's eyes burst open and looked around, breathing heavily. 'It was just a dream.' Getting out of bed, as quietly as she could as not to disturb anyone she headed to the bathroom where she splashed some water on her face. 'Geez, I'm a wreck.' She thought looking at her reflection in the mirror.
"Kari." Looking round Kari saw Gatomon standing in the doorway. "Kari, what are you doing up?" the cat digimon asked rubbing her eyes with one of her paws.
"I…I had a weird dream." She replied.
Gatomon sighed. "Myotismon again?" Kari didn't answer. The two of them stood where they were in silence for a several minutes.
"I'm going back to bed." Gatomon said finally before walking off.
Kari watched her leave before switching off the bathroom light and made her way through the living room and towards the French windows that led to the balcony. She staring out at the city that spread out before her, she replaying her dream in her mind. Closing her eyes she saw him once more, the man who stood amongst the flames. 'Who are you, why you do you seem so familiar to me?' Sighing she continued to stare absently at the view before her. As she did her eye lids grew heavier
Before drifting off one thought crossed her mind the same that she'd had fo a whole year now 'Tai where ever you are, please be safe.'
