Brier and Beauregard

I woke up extremely early, almost like 3 in the morning that I woke up and the outside still looks like nighttime. The reason why I woke up early was because I want to take a shower without anyone knowing my real gender as a girl. The girl dorm is for Obelisk Blue, but since I'm in Slifer Red, I'm currently in an all-boys dormitory. I brought my spare clothes with the bandages for my chest. When I enter the shower room, I look around and see that there's no one in here. I smile as I quickly get into the showers.
After a quick shower, I put on my blue underwear and wrap up my chest with bandages. I put on my long white pants and black shirt. I quickly grab my things and ran back to my room to take a quick nap because it's still too early for school. I lie on my bed and close my eyes.
----I woke up from someone knocking on my door. I got up and quickly put on my red blazer. When I open the door, I saw it was Jaden who knocks on the door. It seems Jaden is being a kind neighbor to pick me up or at least wake me. We walk out of the dorm and headed to school.
As we walk to school, we were stop by seeing an old woman having trouble carrying a few big boxes. Jaden and I notice her troubles as he asks, "What's wrong, lady?"
She's having trouble breathing as she said, "So… heavy… Street… uphill…"
"We can't just leave her like this." Jaden said in a concerned tone. "Let's give her a hand, Sora." I nod my head as we each carry the boxes.
The woman looks grateful as thanks us for our kindness. All of us climb up the hill to the front of the school. We give back the boxes to the lady as soon as we're in front of the school.
"Thank you," she said with bright smile on her face. "You students are so kind."
I feel embarrass when she thanks us, and Jaden said, "Don't worry about it, ma'am!"
"Call me Dorothy. When you get a chance, come by the School Store." She walks away with the boxes as we say our good-byes.
"Oh, so Dorothy works at the store." We turn around to see Syrus standing behind us. "Hey, Jay! We're going to be late for class."
We gasp as we run to class.
----After school, I was walking out of the school. I heard both Jaden and Syrus decided to go visit Dorothy at the School Store and buy some things. I decided to go at the lake that is between the Yellow Dorm and the Obelisk Blue's girl dorm because I like to see its beauty.
By the time I got near the lake, I saw a big guy wearing a yellow blazer staring at it. He looks sad as I walk up to him and said, "Hey there! I'm Sora Fernandez! What's your name?"
"I'm Beauregard," he said, "Will you please duel me?"
I tilted my head. "Duel you? Why?"
"Didn't you get the e-mail? According to the e-mail, we students of the Academy can duel each other to help us to understand how to improve our dueling skills."
"I see. By dueling against each other, we can know what needs to improve." I definitely think it's a good idea for us students to learn. "Okay, let's duel!"
We activate our duel disks and insert our decks as we simultaneously shouted, "Duel!"
Sora's Life Points: 4000
Beauregard's Life Points: 4000
"I start off the duel." Beauregard said, "Draw!" He draws a card from his deck and look at his cards in his hands. "I set down a monster in defense mode and place one card face down. Turn ended." Two cards appear in front of him.
"My turn! Draw!" I draw a card from my deck to my hand. "I summon Speed Warrior in attack mode." A robotic-looking man wearing a gas mask and roller blades appear in front of me.
Speed Warrior: Level 2, Wind
ATK: 900 DEF: 400
"I attack your face down monster with Speed Warrior!" I said as Speed Warrior runs up to the face down card. "I activate Speed Warrior's special ability: during the battle phase on the turn he was summoned, Speed Warrior's attack points doubled."
Speed Warrior: ATK: 900 + 900 = 1800
Beauregard gasps as Speed Warrior jumps up in the air and did a diving kick at the facedown card. The card reveals it to be a giant germ and disappears. The particle from the germ's defeat attacks my life points.
Sora's Life Points: 4000 – 500 = 3500
I wonder what just happened as Beauregard explains, "You attack my monster, Giant Germ. Its special ability is when it's defeated in battle; my opponent loses 500 of their life points. And since it was defeated, I can special summon 2 more Giant Germs in its place." Two giant purple germs appear in front of him in attack position.
Giant Germ: Level 2, Dark
ATK: 1000 DEF: 100
I gritted my teeth and said, "I end my turn by placing two cards face down. Turn ended." Two cards appear behind Speed Warrior as Speed Warrior's attack reverted back to normal.
Speed Warrior: ATK: 1800 – 900 = 900
"My turn! Draw!" He draws a card from his deck. "I sacrifice one of my Giant Germs to set down a monster in defense mode and I switch my other Giant Germ to defense mode as well." One of the Giant Germs disappears and was replaced by a face down card and the other Giant Germ switches into defense position. "With that, I end my turn."
Weird, I thought to myself, he has many opportunities to deal even more damage to me. Could it be that he's afraid of my facedown cards? Or is he planning something else?
I shrug it off and said, "It's my turn! Draw!" I draw a card from my deck and look at the now four cards in my hand. "I reveal my facedown card, Jar of Greed. With this trap card, I can get to draw one more card from my deck." I draw a card from my deck one more time and look at it. I smile as if I got the perfect plan to win this duel. "I sacrifice my Speed Warrior in order to summon Dark Magician Girl in attack mode." Speed Warrior disappears and a young, blonde hair girl wearing a blue, skimpy magician's outfit holding a staff appears in front of me replaced him.
Dark Magician Girl: Level 6, Dark
ATK: 2000 DEF: 1700
Beauregard gasps in shock to see Dark Magician Girl as I said, "Stop gawking at my card and pay attention to this duel! I activate the spell card, Sage's Stone! Since I have a Dark Magician Girl on the field, I can special summon one Dark Magician from my hand or deck." My deck glows brightly as a young man in a dark purple magician's outfit wielding a staff appears next to Dark Magician Girl.
Dark Magician: Level 7, Dark
ATK: 2500 DEF: 2100
"Next, I activate another spell card called Thousand Knives! This spell only works when I have Dark Magician on the field, I can choose and destroy one monster on your side of the field. I destroy your Giant Germ."
Dark Magician waves his staff around as thousand of knives appear around him. He points his staff at the Giant Germ as the knives flies towards it and destroys it. Beauregard gasps and I couldn't blame him; I use a spell card to destroy Giant Germ, instead of battling it. Since I did that, I won't lose any life points.
"Dark Magician attacks your face down monster!" I shouted, "I activate my other face down card, Magician's Circle! Since a spellcaster-type monster attacks, this trap card allows both players to summon another spellcaster-type monster from our decks that has 2000 attack points or less."
Beauregard gasps. "But I don't have any spellcasters in my deck."
I smirk. "I do! Now I special summon another Dark Magician Girl from my deck in attack mode!" Another Dark Magician Girl stands next to Dark Magician. "With that done, Dark Magician attacks your face down monster!" Dark Magician fires a black lightning from his staff and the face down card reveals to be a Molten Behemoth, a giant made of stone.
Molten Behemoth: Level 5, Fire
ATK: 1000 DEF: 2200
Dark Magician's attack points are higher than the behemoth's defense points, it is destroyed. "Now you're wide open! Go my Dark Magician Girls! Attack his life points directly!" The two Dark Magician Girls fires balls of darkness and he got hit in an explosion.
Beauregard's Life Points: 4000 – 2000 – 2000 = 0
As soon as the duel was over, the holograms disappear as I check on Beauregard. "Do you need a hand?" I ask as I offer my hand. He accepts my kind gesture as I help him up.
"You're good," he said and I smile at him. "No wonder you're trying to become a duelist." I wonder what he means by that as he leaves the area.
I try to stop him by shouting, "Stop! What do you mean by that?" He didn't say anything and just walks away. With nothing better to do, I decided to go back to my dorm.
As soon as I walk pass the yellow dorm, I heard a male student complaining about something. He said, "Stupid Obelisk Blues…! Think they're better than me…!" I follow the sound and it turns out to be a small boy wearing a yellow blazer. The boy notices me and said, "My name's Brier, and who are you Slifer?"
"I'm Sora Fernandez," I answer. Then an idea struck in my head as soon as I saw his duel disk. "Hey, I was wondering if you like to duel me? You see… I need to know if my deck is in need of some improvements."
"Sure!" he nodded. "I'll duel a Slifer Red, but not an Obelisk Blue. I hate them."
I tilted my head and ask, "Why do you hate Obelisk Blues?"
"I-it's none of your business," he stutters, "let's just duel already!"
We activated our duel disks and inserted our decks as we shouted, "Duel!"
Sora's Life Points: 4000
Brier's Life Points: 4000
"Since I'm the one who's challenging you," I said with a smile on my face, "I'll be the one to kick off this duel. Draw!" I draw a card from my deck. "I summon a monster in facedown defense position and place a face down card. Turn ended." Two cards appear in front of me.
"My turn! Draw!" Brier draws a card from his deck. "I summon Spear Dragon in attack mode!" A blue dragon with a long, pointy nose appears in front of him.
Spear Dragon: Level 4, Wind
ATK: 1900 DEF: 0
"Spear Dragon attacks your facedown monster!" The dragon did a diving attack where it uses its long nose to pierce my facedown monster. My facedown monster reveals to be Marshmallon.
Marshmallon: Level 3, Light
ATK: 300 DEF: 500
I explain to him that Marshmallon's ability allows him not to be destroyed in battle and if he were flip face-up during an attack, he loses 1000 of his life points. Brier gasps as rays of light were hitting him.
Brier's Life Points: 4000 – 1000 = 3000
I smirk when I saw his life points going down and I thought that I'm on the role; however, I saw Spear Dragon piercing through Marshmallon and onto me. I forgot that Spear Dragon has a piercing ability just like Crowler's Ancient Gear Golem.
Sora's Life Points: 4000 – 1400 = 2600
"Now I activate Spear Dragon's other effect," he said, "after he successfully attacks, he switches into defense mode." Spear Dragon cross its wings, which signal me that he's on the defense. "I place one card facedown. Turn ended." A card appears behind the dragon.
It's my turn as I draw a card from my deck. "I activate Graceful Charity. This spell card allows me to draw three new cards from my deck, but I discard two cards from my hand." I draw the three cards and discard the two cards that would prove their worth in this turn. "Next, I summon the tuner monster Junk Synchron in attack mode!" A small guy in orange, junk-like armor with a scarf appears next to Marshmallon.
Junk Synchron: Level 3, Dark
ATK: 1300 DEF: 500
Brier gasps. "Tuner monster? I never heard of a tuner monster!"
"Well, they were never been exposed to the public before," I mumbled. "I activate Junk Synchron's ability; I can bring back a level 2 or below monster from my graveyard in defense mode. I choose to revive my level two, Speed Warrior!" Speed Warrior jumps out of the ground and stands next to Junk Synchron.
"Now the pieces have come together," I said, "It's time to do a synchro-summon!"
"A synchro-what?" Brier asks in shock.
I explain to him that a synchro summon requires one tuner monster, which is Junk Synchron, and one or more non-tuner monsters on the field. They combine together in order to special summon a monster from the extra deck zone, as long as they're equal to that monster's level. I show him a demonstration as I tuned together Junk Synchron, Speed Warrior, and Marshmallon. Junk Synchron transforms into 3 rings, as both Marshmallon and Speed Warrior have been transform into stars going inside the rings.
"Clusters of stars come together in order to open the pathway," I said, "The pathway for an even stronger monster to appear. Let's rev it up! I synchro-summon my ace monster, Stardust Dragon!" A beam of light shot out of the rings and Stardust Dragon appears in front of me.
Stardust Dragon: Level 8, Wind
ATK: 2500 DEF: 2000
Brier awes at my dragon's presence as I continue, "I reveal my facedown card, Double Summon. This spell card allows me to normal summon one more time. I summon Queen's Knight in attack mode!" A blonde hair woman wearing a red armor and wields a sword and shield appear next to my dragon.
Queen's Knight: Level 4, Earth
ATK: 1500 DEF: 1600
"Queen's Knight attacks your Spear Dragon!" I shouted as Queen's Knight uses her sword to cut off Brier's dragon in half. "Stardust Dragon! Attack Brier's life points directly! Cosmic Flare!" Stardust Dragon fires a white beam from its mouth and hit Brier.
Brier's Life Points: 3000 – 2500 = 500
"I place one card face down." I said, as a card appears in front of me, "Turn ended."
Brier draws a card from his deck as he activates his face down card, which is called Call of the Haunted. This trap card allows him to revive any one of his monsters from his graveyard in attack position. He uses it to bring back his Spear Dragon.
"I sacrifice my Spear Dragon for Cyber Tech Alligator in attack mode!" he shouted as Spear Dragon disappears and a green alligator with wings and red cybernetic armor appears.
Cyber-Tech Alligator: Level 5, Wind
ATK: 2500 DEF: 1600
"Cyber-Tech Alligator attacks your Queen's Knight!" he said as the robotic alligator flies towards my female knight.
I laugh at the situation. "I knew you were going to do that! I activate my trap card, Dimension Wall. This card allows my battle damage to be transfer to you!" Brier gasps as his alligator slashes my knight into pieces. My knight's sword flies up in the air and strikes Brier at his chest, thus making him lose the duel.
Brier's Life Points: 500 – 1000 = 0
The holograms disappear as soon as the duel was over. Brier got up from his defeat and he looks angry. He looks at me and said, "Even a Slifer is laughing at me…" He quickly runs away before I can tell him that I'm not even laughing at him.
After what had just happened here today, I quickly walk back to the dorm. During my walk, I started thinking about the events that had happened. I've met two Ra Yellow students; one has problem in his dueling skills and the other has some sort of vendetta against the Obelisk Blues. I just hope that my meeting with those two students doesn't create some sort of event or something that got me in trouble.
