Monkey See, Monkey Duel

At a hidden facility stationed on a remote corner of Academy Island a loud crashing noise echoed from inside.
"WARNING! WARNING! Code red, I repeat code red!"
Inside the facility multiple men in suits and scientists were running around in search of something with tranquilizer guns at the ready.
"We have to hurry; the specimen can't escape."
Somewhere else in the facility a monkey wearing a high-tech helmet and duel disk ran out the room towards an elevator. The door opened to reveal one guy with a gun. He tried shooting at it, but the monkey was too fast and jumps on the guard's head before climbing up the elevator and onto the roof where it jumped into the forest and escaped into the night.
----The next morning Chazz was walking out of the school with a small bag. Turning around he took one more look at the school.
"Stinking Duel Academy you demote me, you laugh at me. Well I've had it. You won't have Chazz Princeton to kick around." Chazz said walking away.
Later that day in Prof. Banner's class, Syrus was running in as fast as he could.
"Jaden! Jaden it's horrible! Chazz is gone!" Syrus said.
"How is that bad news?" Jaden asks.
"Well isn't he your rival?" Syrus asks.
"You're right, I need my competition." Jaden said as the rest of the class started talking.
"Jeez, talk about a sore loser." Takeru said.
"Yeah just because he lost twice he quits?" Jasmine asks.
"Actually three times, I beat him too." Takeru said.
"Hey you know I saw Chazz packing his stuff last night." Torimaki said.
"Know why? Because he lost to that Ra and Silfer." Another Blue said.
"Good riddance." Another said.
"Yikes, with friends like that who need enemies." Jaden said.
"Jaden, I know Chazz has been a pain, but what if he's in danger and needs us to help?" Syrus suggests.
"Good point, the right thing to do would be to go look for him." Jaden said as the two Slifers left the class not noticing Takeru, Alexis, Mindy and Jasmine watching them.
As Jaden and Syrus snuck out of the school by crawling through a hole in the wall.
"Uh you know there's a door." Alexis said startling them.
Turning around they saw the four Obelisks standing nearby.
"Alexis, Takeru…we were just getting an early start on our homework." Jaden said.
"Yeah you're not fooling anyone with that." Takeru rolls his eyes.
"You're looking for Chazz and we're coming with you." Alexis said.
"Really? Why?" Jaden asks.
"Chazz is an Obelisk Blue and we always look out for one of our own." Alexis said.
"Even if they're Chazz." Takeru said.
"Well what are we waiting for? Let's go." Jaden said as they walked into the forest to look for him.
----About a half hour later as they were calling for Chazz to come out of hiding Alexis started to get frustrated.
"That it. Chazz you little toad if this is some trick you better hope that we don't find you!" She yells at the top of her voice.
"Yeah, threaten him, that'll bring him out." Jaden said.
"Deep breath Alexis, calm down." Takeru urged.
"You know I'm sure there's a good reason Chazz ran off." Jasmine said.
"Yeah, he didn't want to become a Ra yellow." Takeru said when Alexis noticed something.
"What's up?" Jaden asks.
"Look there." Alexis said pointing towards a bush. "Something's moving."
"I don't see anything." Jaden said when the bush started to rustle.
"Chazz?" Mindy asks.
"Must be. Alright, game's over we found you." Jaden said as they walked towards the bush when suddenly the monkey wearing the helmet and duel disk leaps out scaring all of them.
Leaping at them the monkey creates a cloud of dust as it scuffles with them before running off.
"That was not Chazz." Takeru said.
"That wasn't human either." Syrus said when three men in suits ran towards them, one of them holding a gun when suddenly they heard a scream.
The five teens look around and notice one of them was missing.
"Jasmine!" Alexis realized when they heard her screaming.
"Up in those trees!" Jaden points as they saw the monkey had kidnapped Jasmine.
"It's what she always wanted. Some guy to sweep her off her feet." Mindy said.
"Yeah some guy not some monkey." Alexis said.
"What's going on?" Syrus asks.
"Does it matter? We gotta save Jasmine." Takeru said as they took off.
Jasmine was frantically trying to tell the monkey to let her go, but to no avail as it continued running towards a tree dangling over a cliff. After landing on the tree Jasmine was hanging onto the monkey for dear life.
"Don't let me go!" She screams as the three men in suits arrive.
"I can't get a shot, I might hit the girl." One said as the others arrived.
"Hey that monkey has a duel disk on his arm. Either that or it's a really weird banana." Jaden said.
"That's no banana, and that's no ordinary Monkey. His name's Wheeler and he's a trained duelist." The short man in the group said surprising them.
"A Dueling Monkey?" Takeru said when he looks out to see Jasmine screaming in fear.
"Somebody help me!" Jasmine screams.
"Hey Wheeler!" Takeru yells getting the monkey's attention. "If you really know how to use that Duel Disk then how about you and I duel? I win and you let Jasmine go." Takeru said.
"And if you lose?" Jasmine asks scared.
"Don't' worry Jasmine nothing is going to happen to you I promise." Takeru said. "What do you say?"
Wheeler growls before nodding. Putting Jasmine down at the top of the tree he makes his way onto a rock and screeches activating his duel disk.
"Wow, he really does know how to work that thing." Jaden said as Takeru activated his duel disk.
"I hope Takeru knows what he's doing." Syrus said.
"I have a clear shot." The man with the gun said aiming it.
"No wait." The short man said. "This could be the field test we've been waiting for."
"Alright let's duel." Takeru said drawing his cards.
"Duel." A digitized voice from Wheeler's helmet said surprising everyone.
"It can talk?" Syrus said shocked.
"Please that would be completely unrealistic. The helmet reads his mind and talks for him." The old man said.
Takeru: 4000
Wheeler: 4000
"I'll go first, with my Magician's Valkyria in attack mode!" On Takeru's field the female magician appeared.
Magician's Valkyria: 1600/1800
"And I'll place one card facedown to end my turn."
"Alright you saw his moves now do yours Wheeler. Get it, monkey see, monkey do?" Jaden jokes as everyone groans at the pun.
"Not a good time Jaden." Takeru said.
"That was pretty lame." Jasmine agrees.
"My turn, my turn." Wheeler said drawing. "Berserk Gorilla! Attack mode!" Wheeler summons a large gorilla with red eyes to his side of the field.
Berserk Gorilla: 2000/1600
"Oh boy." Takeru said.
"Guess we know who got the looks." Jaden said.
"Berserk Gorilla attack!" Berserk Gorilla punches Magician's Valkyria destroying her.
Takeru: 3600
Wheeler: 4000
"Now one card facedown. End turn. Monkey see, monkey duel. Better." Wheeler said.
"See what you've started Jaden." Takeru said.
"I make monkey out of you." Wheeler mocks.
"Takeru focus on the duel. Don't lose your cool!" Syrus said.
"That's gonna be hard since he's getting beat by a monkey." Alexis said.
"Don't worry Alexis, Takeru can win this…I hope." Mindy said as Takeru drew.
"I activate Cost Down, by sending one card from my hand to the graveyard I can summon Chaos Command Magician in attack mode!"
Chaos Command Magician: 2400/1900
"Now I attack!" As Takeru's magician flew towards Wheeler's gorilla Takeru grinned. "Now I activate my trap card! Magician's Circle!" Takeru said surprising everyone. "Now we both choose one spellcaster from our decks and can summon it in attack mode!"
"Me no have Spellcasters." Wheeler said.
"Yeah but I do! I summon Blast Magician!"
Blast Magician: 1400/ 1700
Chaos Command Magician continues his attack and blasts Berserk Gorilla away.
Takeru: 3600
Wheeler: 3600
"Now Blast Magician attack him directly!" Takeru said as Wheeler got blasted again.
Takeru: 3600
Wheeler: 2200
"Oh yeah!" Jaden pumps his fist.
"What a combo." Syrus said impressed.
"He sure timed that perfectly." Alexis said.
Takeru looks over to see a depressed look on Wheeler's face. "Hey, are you giving up?"
"Oh please. He just made one mistake. Back at the lab if he made a mistake, we would punish him. He won't make mistakes, he'll just get better." The old man said.
"Top secret, sir." One of the men whispers.
"Oh right, never mind."
"Never surrender! Never!" Wheeler said drawing a card.
Takeru narrow his eyes bracing himself for whatever might come.
"Acrobat Monkey attack mode!" Wheeler said as a blue machine monkey appeared.
Acrobat Monkey: 1000/1800
"Next I activate my facedown. Trap! Trap! DNA Surgery!" Wheeler said.
"Not good. Now all monsters will become whatever type that monkey chooses." Jaden said.
"I choose Beast type! Beast type!" Wheeler said as Chaos Command Magician turned into an owl-like version of itself, Blast Magician turned into a fox and Acrobat Monkey looked like a real monkey. "Next I play Wild Nature's Release!"
"Wild Nature's release? That card raises the attack of one Beast or Beast Warrior type monster by the value of its defense points. This monkey is getting better." Alexis said surprised.
"And for Takeru, it's only gonna get worse." Syrus said.
"Acrobat Monkey! Power up!" Wheeler said as Acrobat flexed its muscles shattering its armor.
Acrobat Monkey: 2800/1800
"Go Acrobat Monkey! Attack Chaos Command with Somersault Smash!" Spinning quickly Acrobat Monkey slams into Chaos Command Magician destroying it.
Takeru: 3200
Wheeler: 2200
After the attack Acrobat Monkey screamed in pain as it held its head before shattering.
"What just happened?" Syrus asks.
"When Wild Nature's Release is used on a monster that monster is destroyed at the end of the turn." Alexis explained.
"But Takeru still has his Blast Magician and Wheeler's defenseless." Mindy said.
"Come on Takeru! Nail him!" Jaden said.
"My turn." Takeru drew a card but was interrupted by some monkey noises. At first, he thought it was Wheeler until he looked over to the side near some rocks and gasps. "Guys look over there!"
Everyone looks and see at least a dozen monkeys hiding behind some rocks.
"Uh oh, more monkeys." Syrus gulps.
"There must be a whole tribe of them!" Mindy said.
"Takeru! Don't let them take me!' Jasmine said afraid.
"Jasmine calm down! Look at me." Takeru said as she turned to look him in the eyes. "I'm going to get you out of there, but you have to trust me."
Jaden turns towards Wheeler. "Wait a minute, that's why you escaped. To get back to your family."
"Must win! Miss family! Miss family!" Wheeler said.
"Wheeler I can understand why you want to be free, but I said I would rescue Jasmine and I'm not about to break that promise! I activate the spell Mage Power! This card raises the attack of one of my Monsters by 500 for each card in my spell and trap card zone, like these two." Takeru said playing two facedown cards raising Blast Magician's attack.
Blast Magician: 2900/3200
"Blast Magician, attack with Magical Explosion!" Takeru said as Blast Magician fires a large red sphere which goes off creating a powerful explosion knocking Wheeler to the ground.
Takeru: 3200
Wheeler: 0000
"Sorry Wheeler, but it's time to release Jasmine." Takeru said.
Wheeler walks over to the tree and picks up Jasmine placing her safely on the ground.
Getting up Jasmine ran to her friends and was met by an embrace from Alexis and Mindy.
"Hey Takeru, thank you so much." Jasmine said.
"I promised I would save you and I meant it." Takeru smiles as a small blush appeared on Jasmine's face.
"But what about Wheeler?" Mindy asks as they all looked towards Wheeler who looked heartbroken.
"I know he kidnapped me, but even I think he deserves more than being somebody's needle poking experiment." Jasmine said.
"Alright you flea ridden failure, let's go." The man with the gun said.
"Hold on!" Jaden said getting in between them. "He doesn't belong with you, he belongs out here with his family."
Wheeler looks at them surprised.
"It's alright Wheeler we won't let them take you back to the lab." Syrus said.
"Not without a fight." Takeru nods.
"And if they do I'll call the TV stations." Alexis said.
"And I'll call the newspapers." Mindy said.
"And it's goodbye Top Secret." Jasmine said.
"Enough of this, out of the way!" Then men in suits said throwing a net on top of Wheeler.
"You think your threats scare me? Please. Not only will my research continue but it will grow larger." The old man said.
"How's that?" Takeru asks.
"Because I'm taking them all. Your friend won't miss his family, they'll all be there in cages with him." He said as one of the suits points a gun at the monkeys.
Suddenly Pharaoh jumps out of the bushes and leaps at the man knocking the gun out of his hands.
"Pharaoh?" Takeru said surprised when Prof. Banner walks out.
"Tsk, tsk Pharaoh. Naughty kitty." Prof. Banner said picking him up.
"Prof. Banner?" All the students said surprised.
"Who are you?" The old man asks.
"Oh just your average teacher, duelist…animal lover. You see where I'm getting at don't you?" Banner asks kicking the gun into his hand.
The old man growls seeing there was no way he could win this.
After the men left, they helped Wheeler out of the armor leaving him in only the duel disk on his arm. Smiling Wheeler runs to his family.
"Aw look at that it's like a family reunion." Syrus smiles.
"Hey Wheeler, maybe next time you and I can duel." Jaden calls out and Wheeler smiles as he waves back. "Yeah me too."
"Uh Jaden you do realize he can't talk anymore." Takeru said.
"That was a close one. If the Professor hadn't shown up Wheeler would have been in trouble." Mindy said.
"How'd you find us Professor?" Alexis asks.
"Like I said I love animals. Plus it wasn't so hard with a cat who can track as well as Pharaoh." Prof. Banner said.
"But why were you looking for us?" Jaden asks.
"Well children, I wanted to tell you that Chazz is okay." Prof. Banner said causing all of them to smile.
"That's great news." Jaden said.
"Yes but there is some bad news, follow me please." Prof. Banner said leading them all to the docks. "You see, early this morning I found Chazz leaving Duel Academy on his family's personal yacht."
"That's unfortunate." Jaden said.
"He did make things interesting." Syrus said.
"Nothing we can do now." Takeru said.
"I'm sure we'll meet him again after all good rivals are hard to find." Jaden said.
"Yes, but you know what isn't hard to find? Class, and you all have some making up to do." Prof. Banner said as they all groaned. "Come on children let's go."
As they all walked back to class Jasmine fell a little behind, so she was right next to Takeru.
"I guess I should have seen this coming." Takeru sighed.
"Don't suppose you can pull something out your hat to get us out of this?" Jasmine jokes causing him to smirk.
"Sorry if I tried a rabbit Pharaoh would just chase after it and we'd be in more trouble." Takeru said causing her to giggle. "Anyway, I'm glad you're okay. I was worried about you."
"You were?" Jasmine asks.
"Yeah the whole reason I stepped up to duel was so I could help you." Takeru said causing her to blush.
Leaning in Jasmine gives Takeru a peck on the cheek surprising him.
"See you in class, maybe we can sit next to each other." Jasmine winks as she walks back up to Alexis and Mindy leaving Takeru stunned.
'I dueled a talking monkey while searching for Chazz, but this was the craziest thing to happen today.' Takeru thought.
