Duel Monsters Spirit Day

It had been a few days since Alexis' Duel against Titan and now there was just one Shadow Rider left and victory was near. But today was a day for celebrations as it was Duel Monsters Spirit Day. This day was when the students would dress up as their favorite monster and there were activities throughout the day. This was a day that everyone at Duel Academy enjoyed.

A small ball of light floated over the Academy building and a cheery laugh came from the ball and said in excitement. "Ah, my most favorite day of the year. Duel Monsters Spirit Day, the one chance where I have all day to come out and play and I'm not going to let it go to waste." The spirit ball all looked at the students who were all having a great time and the spirit of a woman wearing a pink and light blue magician's outfit slowly appeared.

...

Over at the Obelisk Blue dorm, a small cafe had been set up with Obelisk Blue students pretending to be waiters. Jasmine and Mindy sat at one of the tables where and Obelisk Blue Boy who was handsome to them served them some tea "Here's your Latté and tea." He said as he placed the drinks at the table and then gave a small bow "Enjoy ladies." then he walked off while Mindy smiled at him.

"Ah, what a cutie." Mindy cooed dreamily

Jasmine laughed as she began to start drinking her tea. "Don't fall in love just yet Mindy." She said as she too looked at the man dreamily. "It's Duel Monster's Spirit Day, we have a whole day of flirting ahead of us."

...

The Ra Yellow Dorm had many stalls set up outside the dorm which held games or sold food and drinks.

"Get your Kuriboh Dumplings here." A man on a stall called out to the students. "Kuriboh Dumplings."

Two Obelisk Blue girls heard the announcement; one had a box of the dumplings while the other had a large candy floss.

"What did he say, Kuriboh dumpling was it?" The girl with the Candy floss laughed and she looked at her friend. "That's just gross."

The other girl had just tried one of the dumplings and looked at her friend. "No, just a little hairy."

...

The Slifer Red Dorm wasn't decorated but it would hold one of the bigger events of the day. The Costume Duel where two people dressed as monsters would duel each other. This was an event that most of the school enjoyed. Syrus was planning to be the commentator of the Duel and was currently using a line marker to draw out a dueling field. "All right, 20 feet long, 10 feet across." He muttered to himself as he drew out the field. But he wasn't looking where he was going and crashed into two paint cans which had been left on the ground behind Chumley who was painting some large posters. Syrus gasped as he tripped over the cans which split the paint from the line marker and covered Syrus in paint dust. He coughed up to dust. "And two cans of Paint to ruin it all." He groaned and then looked at Chumley. "Chumley, you're in the way of my Duel Arena."

Chumley looked at him "Well art has its price" he smiled

"Art?" Syrus questioned. "What do you mean?"

"I mean I'm drawing up posters to promote your big costume Duel today." Chumley replied as he and Syrus looked at Chumley's poster which had Chumley's Des Kangaroo and Des Koala drawn on. "Pretty good huh?"

"Yeah, not bad." Syrus replied and then smiled at Chumley. "But if you really want to draw in a big crowd, there's one more picture you should draw. A big drawing of the Dark Magician Girl."

Chumley looked at his poster. "Well I could draw her in the corner."

Syrus gasped. "No, she deserves the whole poster."

Chumley looked at him.

"But what about Des Kangaroo and Des Koala?" He asked

Syrus scoffed.

"They're not even real." He snorted

Chumley snorted in replay. "Well then neither is Dark Magician Girl."

Syrus looked angry and he stood up.

"Don't you ever say that, you hear me!" He growled

"Okay, sorry." Chumley replied

"Now get to it." Syrus ordered and then he ran back over to the Line marker and tried to put the paint powder back into the Line marker but all he made was a big dust cloud which made Chumley cover his mouth. "I've got to finish this field."

Chumley coughed as well because of the dust. "Well I would if I could see."

The small spirit ball floated around and had just heard everything that Syrus and Chumley said about the Costume Duel. "A Costume Duel, that's perfect."

On the top floor of the Slifer Red Dorm on the balcony. The key keepers apart from Chazz had gathered to talk about what Atticus had told them about how Professor Banner had been the one to send Atticus over to the Abandoned Dorm along with the other missing students. Atticus was there along with Leliana. Zevran and Alistair were back at their dorms to get their costumes ready.

"So Professor Banner's gone missing?" Jaden questioned as no one had seen Professor Banner for quite some time now

"It sure is strange." Daylen added

"It sure is." Solona agreed. "He goes missing when the Shadow Riders are hunting us."

"And just after my brother had hold us about him." Alexis agreed

"I wish it weren't true" Atticus sighed

"Professor Banner was always nice to us." Leliana added. "He may have had problems with teaching but he made us laugh when his experiments went wrong."

"But if what Atticus says is true." Neria stated. "He's the one who led you and Leliana to the abandoned Dorm."

"Along with Zevran and Alistair too." Daylen added

Aedan looked at them.

"Well that may be true, but the question I'm thinking about is why." He said. "Why would Professor Banner sent students to a place that was dangerous for some kind of a test? That Dorm was closed for a reason."

Jaden looked at them.

"Well I've got a question." He said. "What is Chazz doing?"

They all looked to see Chazz walking around with a cat toy and making kissing noises "You hoo." He called before he groaned. "Oh come on, where are you. You stupid furball!"

"Err, where is what Chazz?" Jaden asked

"His mind Jay." Neria stated. "Clearly Chazz has lost his mind."

Solona laughed. "I don't think Chazz's mind is a furball Neria." She laughed while Daylen chuckled

Chazz glared at them. "If you want to know I'm trying to find Pharaoh!" He hissed. "Professor Banner's pet cat, he's always around Banner so if we find him, we'll find Banner."

"Well good luck with that." Aedan called out to him.

It was then that Syrus came over and he looked at Chazz and was confused as to why he was acting weird.

"Hey, has Chazz lost his mind again?" He questioned

"Hey what's up Sy?" Jaden called

...

A short time later, Syrus and the others all stood in front of Chumley's new poster for the Costume Duel and it had Dark Magician Girl and Dark Magician drawn on it

"Sweet poster." Jaden smiled

Syrus smiled. "Yeah, despite that Dark Magician being on it, Chumley did a good job."

"Well I am good at painting." Chumley claimed

"Yeah I agree." Jaden smiled as he patted Chumley on the back.

Atticus looked at the poster.

"So a costume Duel huh." He said

"Sounds like it will be fun to watch." Leliana added

"Yeah it will be cool to see." Solona stated

Aedan looked at Syrus.

"So have you got someone to dress up as Dark Magician and Dark Magician Girl?" He asked

"If they are in the poster then the audience will be expected to see someone dressed as them." Neria said

Syrus looked a bit worried there. "No, I'm afraid not. I just used her as advertisement."

"False advertisement you mean?" Daylen stated. "As soon as the audience sees that Dark Magician girl is not here, many will leave."

"But the costume Duel is the biggest event held by the Slifer Red Dorm." Jaden stated

"Well you'll have to find someone to be Dark Magician Girl." Daylen stated. "I can be Dark Magician for the Duel."

"But there's no point in asking any of us to be Dark Magician Girl." Solona stated. "We've already decided on our costumes."

Alexis looked at him.

"And I already have enough boys going after my attention." She claimed

"Well what about Sereda or Kallian?" Syrus suggested

"Sereda has also already chosen her costume." Neria stated "And Kallian doesn't like revealing clothing."

"Well I do have an idea on who can be Dark Magician Girl." Alexis stated

"Well I guess the audience wouldn't mind who dressed as Dark Magician Girl." Syrus stated

...

Shorty later, Syrus, Chumley and Jaden were in the Slifer Canteen along with Alexis and Atticus. Solona, Daylen, Neria, Leliana and Aedan had gone back to their own dorms to get their costumes ready. The group all stared at the person who Alexis said could dress up as Dark Magician though they had to resist the urge to cover their eyes as it was Dorothy, the shop owner who wore the pink and light blue dress along with the boots and hat while she waved a wand. They thought that Dorothy dressed as Dark Magician Girl looked stupid and hideous though none wanted to say that since Dorothy was always a very kind lady.

"Ah." Syrus groaned. "I take it back, on what demented planet is this a better idea?"

"Planet Chumley." Chumley laughed. "Come on, you don't think Dorothy pulls that off."

"Pull it off?" Syrus hissed. "Pleased don't put that image in my brain, please Chum."

Dorothy looked a bit cross. "Excuse me, but I make a great Dark Magician Girl!" She hissed. "And I have for 10 years." She then did a pose. "That's how long I have owned this costume." But then the costume began to tear at the arm. "Oh I thought the arms were feeling a little tight. Oh and the seam too. Oh well, would one of you mind sewing it back up." The boys shook their heads but then more rips appeared which made Dorothy sigh.

"Sorry Syrus, but this costume is banged up too much." Dorothy sighed. "You'll have to find someone else to be Dark Magician Girl."

...

Later, Syrus was sitting outside on the stairs as he started to cry as he couldn't find anyone to be Dark Magician Girl. "My costume Duel is going to be a bust." He cried and then Chazz came by as he carried on making kissing noises to find Pharaoh. But he stopped when he heard Chumley yell in fright from the Canteen.

"Ah, Duel Monster, please don't claw me? Please!" Chumley yelled in fright.

Standing in front on him was Alexis who was dressed in a suit of golden armor with purple bird wings. She had clawed feet and hands and pointy ears. Alexis sighed "Chill Chumley, it's just a costume. You see I'm going as Harpie Lady, so what do you think?"

"What do I think?" Chumley questioned. "I think I'm majorly relieved."

Jaden then looked at her cheerfully. "So what are your friends, Jasmine and Mindy going as?" He asked

Alexis smiled at him. "The same thing." She replied. "They're going to be Harpie Ladies too, so when we're all together, we will be the Harpie Lady Sisters." She gave a small laugh at Chumley who whimpered in fear. "I think all of these Shadow games have taken their toll on Chumley" she then looked at Jaden, "By the way, what are you going as?"

Jaden looked around the tables to see different costumes. "I think I will go as this." Jaden said as he took parts from different costumes and put them on which made him look like some kind of wizard Knight.

"OK." Syrus said. "So what are you then?"

"Well I wanted to be a few duel monsters so I just took pieces from each of them." Jaden replied

"Well I guess no one will have the same costume as you." Alexis stated

Then they all heard banging outside and they went out to look to see what was going on.

...

Chazz walked around in his costume that he was using for the day. His Ojama Spirits looked at him and they smiled.

"**Looking good Chazz."** Ojama Green smiled

"**Really good."** Ojama Black agreed

"**What a costume."** Ojama Yellow smiled

"Thanks, I know." Chazz replied then he looked to see Jaden, Chumley, Alexis and Syrus walk out of the Slifer Canteen, they gasped as they saw Chazz walking around in a massive costume of XYZ Dragon Cannon

"Chazz dressed up as XYZ Dragon Cannon." Jaden gasped in shock

"You're sure that's Chazz right?" Chumley asked

Chazz groaned and then showed off his costume.

"Now this is a real costume." He smiled

"It's the best one that I've seen." Alexis smiled; she had now dyed her long blond hair purple to match her wings.

Chazz gasped when he saw Alexis "Is that, Alexis?" He gasped then he blushed at the sight of her. *'Purple hair and pointy ears, my big weakness.'*

Syrus smirked at him. "I don't remember XYZ Dragon Cannon, ever blushing Chazz." he teased

Chazz glared at him.

"Shut up!" He snapped and then he tried to walk over to the dueling arena. "Now let's get this Duel underway."

"So who will be dueling in the Costume Duel?" Jaden asked

"Well it won't be me." Chazz snorted. "I can't duel in this costume, I can hardly walk."

"Well Daylen did agree to be in the Duel dressed as Dark Magician." Alexis stated. "I've always wanted to duel him so maybe I'll duel him." but then there was a flash of a camera and they turned to see Alexis' brother Atticus standing next to her with a camera in his hands. He wore a suit of black armor with wings.

"Well, what do you think of my costume?" He asked. "I'm Lord of the Red, the ritual version of Red Eyes Black Dragon?" He asked cheerfully

"Well it's a good costume brother." Alexis replied and then she had a frown on her face. "But what are you doing?"

"You know, just big brother stuff." Atticus replied. "Like taking embarrassing photos of my sister, that I can show mum and dad later."

Alexis narrowed her eyes at her brother. "Err, no you are not."

"Then I can show our aunt and uncle, as well as our cousin." Atticus added but then his eyes widened when Alexis swiped her clawed hand at him and then Atticus ran off with Alexis running after him.

"You aren't showing anyone those pictures!" She hissed. "Give me that camera!"

Jaden sighed. "Well I guess she won't be dueling." then he turned as he heard Chumley yell in fear again.

"Ahhh, it's that Spirit again, please don't hurt me!" he cried

"Chumley, it's me!" Solona hissed at him, she had dyed her long hair light blue and she wore a brown dress with blue patterns, she had dressed as Maiden with Eyes of Blue, the costume she had dressed up when she helped Jaden with his confidence. "It was me the last time you saw Maiden."

"Don't worry sister." Daylen said as he came up dressed in the dark purple robe of Dark Magician. "He's always like this."

"Well I hope we can just watch a good Duel." Aedan said as he wore a suit of thick armor with the crest of a flaming sword on, he had dressed as Knight Commander

"I'm looking forward to this duel." Alistair claimed as he wore a suit of Black and blue armor, he was Black Luster Soldier.

"So am I." Sereda added and she wore a suit of leather armor, she was dressed as Dwarven Silent Sister.

"So who will I be dueling then?" Daylen asked

"I wouldn't mind dueling." A voice called and everyone turned to see a blond haired girl wearing a blue and pink dress with boots and a hat.

"Whoa, you did get someone to dress up as Dark Magician Girl." Jaden stated. "I thought you said you didn't have anyone." The girl looked so much like Dark Magician girl and she had the boys drooling which made Solona groan.

"Boys!" She groaned

"She looks just like Dark Magician Girl." Chumley stated

Syrus looked at the girl dressed as Dark Magician Girl in shock, he had no idea that someone would indeed dress up as Dark Magician Girl but he was not complaining. "Yes, I have got a Dark Magician girl, so why don't we get on with this Due.l"

...

Later, the dueling arena had attracted a lot of attention and many students from Obelisk Blue and Ra Yellow had joined up when they heard about Dark Magician girl. Even Dr Crowler had turned up at the Slifer Dorm and he sat in the stands with Zane who had chosen not to wear anything as well as Bastion Misawa who had dressed up as Amazoness Tiger. Aristide Amell had also come to watch the Costume Duel as he heard his son would be there as well. Aristide had chosen to dress up for the day and he wore a white king like robe with silver armor and he held a golden scepter, he had dressed up as Ehther the Heavenly Monarch. The little girl known as Avexis who had been a Shadow Rider was with him dressed up as Edea, the Heavenly Squire. After Avexis had been released from the Infirmary, Aristide had taken her in since she did not want to go back to the orphanage.

Aristide and Avexis sat in the stands as they watched for the Duel to start. They were joined by Neria Surana who had tied her hair back in a bun to make it look short and she wore white robes and had dressed up as Lumina, Lightsworn Summoner. Theorn Maheriel was also with her dressed in leather armor with a toy sword at his side, he was dressed up as Dalish Soldier.

Crowler looked at the dueling field, "Well this isn't a bad turnout but who is dueling."

Bastion looked at the field, "Well it looks like Daylen dressed as Dark Magician and someone as Dark Magician Girl."

"Dark Magician Girl?" Crowler questioned. "Don't be ridiculous, there's no such thing as..." but he then stopped as gasped when he laid eyes on Dark Magician Girl "Well, look, it is the Dark Magician Girl."

Aristide sat with Avexis, Theorn and Neria as they watched the duel with Avexis looking in fascination. "This looks like it will be a great duel." She gasped. "Dark Magician vs. Dark Magician Girl"

"Well this duel will be interesting." Theorn agreed. "Though I still wonder who this girl is."

"I'm wondering that as well." Aristide added. "This girl who is dressed as Dark Magician Girl is no one I know from the school."

"I guess we'll find out after the duel." Neria stated

Meanwhile, Solona stood at the far end as she watched her brother get ready for the Duel. Everyone was staring at the Dark Magician Girl which made her sigh. Dark Magician Girl was always called one of the most beautiful female Duel Monster cards and her Maiden was another one which was why she had stayed away from the staring eyes of the fans.

"Syrus!" Chazz called over a microphone. "Syrus where are you? I need you up here."

Syrus was hiding behind the duel arena, he still wore his Slifer Red uniform but he now wore a large pink bow tie. He was nervous as he would be commentating on the Duel and he was nervous as he was not used to talking in front of a crowd "All right Sy." He said to himself. "Just play cool, don't be too obvious. Let her know that you're interested but no desperate" It was clear that Syrus also had a crush on the Dark Magician Girl"

Syrus snapped out of his stare when he heard Chazz shout loudly over a microphone which made him cover his ears.

"Syrus!" He snapped. "Quit going gaga over Dark Magician Girl and come to the commentator booth. Are you just going to stare at her all day?"

Syrus then went over and stood next to Chazz and he spoke down the Microphone "Hello and welcome to the Main Event by the Slifer Red Dorm"

"Syrus is the only event by the Slifer Red Dorm" Chazz groaned as he closed his eyes

"Well that makes it even better." Syrus smiled. "The Slifers only event, the Duel Monsters Costume Duel." The crowd cheered. "Hosting the event will be Chazz Princeton and myself, Syrus, Syrus Truesdale."

The crowd were not that impressed.

"Just get on with it!" One groaned

Chazz growled while Syrus laughed.

"Well if you say so." He said. "The duelists have entered the arena."

"What do you mean?" Chazz hissed. "They've been here for 10 minutes."

"Well on my right, allow me to introduce Daylen Amell dressed as Dark Magician." Syrus added and he pointed to Daylen.

The crowd looked at him. "Well now we'll get to see him in action."

"I wonder how he will do."

Solona smiled at her brother.

"Good luck brother." She said

Syrus then pointed to the other side of the field. "And on my left, allow me to introduce the Dark Magician Girl, isn't she just the cutest."

Chazz rolled his eyes. "Real smooth."

"Oh come on." Syrus teased. "You were thinking the same thing."

Dark Magician Girl waved to the crowd who cheered her on.

"Hi everyone." She smiled. "Come to cheer me on?" and then everyone including Syrus cheered loudly which made Chazz cover he ears

"You know Sy, we're supposed to be neutral." He groaned

"Sorry, but I've shifted into high gear." Syrus chuckled

"You've lost it." Chazz groaned

"Well gentleman, and woman, start your Duel Disk." Syrus commanded and then Daylen and Dark Magician Girl activated their Duel Disks.

"**Duel!"**

**Daylen: 8000**

**DMG: 8000**

"All right, I'll take the first move." Dark Magician Girl said as she drew her card. "And I'll throw a monster face down and end my turn."

Syrus smiled. "Well it's just as they say, the best defense is a good offense." He said and the crowd began to cheer which made Daylen sigh

"These guys love Dark Magician Girl too much." He muttered to himself "All right, my turn." Daylen drew his card. "First I will use the spell card Pot of Greed to draw two new cards. Then I will summon one of them, the Skilled Dark Magician in attack mode." A dark robed magician with a black magical rod in his hand appeared on the field with his face covered (Level 4 Attack 1900 Defense 1700) "Then I play the equip spell, Fairy Meteor Crush, so now when my Skilled Dark Magician attacks a monster in defence mode, the difference between my monsters attack points and your monster's defense points is dealt to you as damage. And Skilled Dark Magician gains another Spell Counter." (SDM SC: 1) "Now Skilled Dark Magician, attack that face down monster." Skilled Dark Magician fired a blast of magic from his rod which hit the facedown monster which was revealed to be a young girl with blond hair and wearing a black pointy witch's hat. It was Fire Sorcerer (Level 4 Attack 1000 Defense 1500)

"Well even though I take damage from your attack, my Sorcerer's special ability activates." Dark Magician Girl smiled. "Now you have to discard two cards from your deck and you take 800 points of damage, though I have to remove two cards in my hand from play." Fire Sorcerer sent a blast of fire at Daylen before fading away.

**Daylen: 7200**

**DMG: 7600**

"Good move." Daylen replied. "I'll throw one card face down and end my turn."

"My move." Dark Magician Girl smiled. "And I summon Magician's Valkyria in attack mode." A spellcaster that looked much like the Dark Magician Girl appeared on the field, though this one had a much bigger magic staff and had long brown hair (Level 4 Attack 1600 Defense 1800)

"Well this is a surprise." Syrus said over the microphone. "Magician's Valkyria makes it so the opponent cannot attack any other Spellcaster monsters but her. And since both our Duelists use Spellcaster decks, this will be tough."

Dark Magician Girl smiled. "But I'm not done yet." She said. "I play the spell card Dimension Fusion, now by paying 2000 life points, both of us can special summon as many monsters that were removed from play. Too bad you don't have any but I do since I removed two monsters from play with Fire Sorcerer's ability. Now they both get to come back." Daylen was surprised when the two monsters she brought back were another Magician's Valkyria and the Dark Magician monster.

"She's playing the one she's pretending to be." Crowler smiled

"Yes, that's curious." Bastion spoke up which made Crowler look at him. "It was my understanding that only the King of Games, Yugi Moto, possessed the Dark Magician Girl."

"Mine too." Zane added. "Just who is this girl."

"Looks like Daylen is in trouble." Aedan said to Sereda and Solona

"Looks like it." Sereda agreed. "That facedown card must be something good otherwise Daylen is about to take a big hit on his life points."

"My brother always has a plan" Solona added

Syrus then shouted down his microphone. "All right everyone, on the count of three. One, two three."

"Attack." Dark Magician Girl ordered. "Go Dark Magician Girl, attack that Skilled Dark Magician with Dark Burning Attack." Dark Magician Girl's monster sent a blast of fire magic from her wand which struck Skilled Dark Magician and destroyed him.

**Daylen: 7100**

**DMG: 7600**

"Well there goes my defense." Daylen sighed

"And with that Skilled Dark Magician gone, you're wide open." Dark Magician Girl added. "Wide open for an attack by my 2 Magician Valkyria's." Both Magician Valkyria's fired a blast of magic at them which threw Daylen back a bit but he remained standing.

**Daylen: 3900**

**DMG: 7600**

"And with that, I will end my turn." Dark Magician Girl finished

Theorn looked over at the Duel. "Well, looks like Daylen is in trouble with those Magician Valkyria's on the field." He said

"That's right." Neria agreed. "Because of their special abilities; they protect each other and every other Spellcaster on her field.

"I'm sure my son has some kind of a plan." Aristide said as Avexis watched the duel in fascination

"My move." Daylen said as he drew his next card. "I summon Armageddon Knight in defense mode." A warrior dressed in rusty armor and wearing a red mask to cover his face appeared on the field kneeling down (Level 4 Attack 1400 Defense 1200) "And when he is summoned to the field, I can send one dark monster from my deck to my graveyard so I'll send my Dark Magician to the grave. Then I will throw two cards face down and end my turn."

"Why would Daylen send one of his best monsters to the graveyard?" Aedan questioned

"He must have some kind of a plan." Jaden grinned

'If she summons another monster then my plan will work.' Daylen thought. *'Though if she doesn't, my Negate Attack will help me.'*

"My draw." Dark Magician Girl said. "And I summon Chocolate Magician Girl in attack mode." A young girl with long blue hair and wearing a dark Brown Magician's robe similar to Dark Magician Girl's appeared on the field (Level 4 Attack 1600 Defense 1000) Many of the students cheered at another cute looking monster.

But Daylen smirked. "You've just walked into my trap." He smiled. "I wanted you to summon another monster because now I can play this, Dark Renewal which activates when you make a summoning. Now by sacrificing one of your monsters as well as one of my own, I can summon 1 Dark Spellcaster from my graveyard"

"So that's why you sent Dark Magician to the graveyard." Dark Magician Girl smiled

"It sure was." Daylen smiled. "Now I sacrifice my Armageddon Knight and your Chocolate Magician Girl in order to summon the one and only Dark Magician." Chocolate Magician Girl and Armageddon Knight were absorbed into a large coffin and then the purple robbed Magician appeared emerged from the coffin and went on to the field (Level 7 Attack 2500 Defense 2100)

"Hey, why didn't he use one of those Magician Valkyria?" Jaden wondered. "As long as they are on the field, Daylen can't attack"

"Daylen must have another plan to take them out." Aedan suggested

"And Chocolate Magician Girl's special ability would make it difficult for Daylen." Sereda added which made Jaden look at her confused

"You see Jaden." Solona added when she saw Jaden's confused look. "When Chocolate Magician Girl is attacked, you can select one spellcaster in the graveyard and special summon it and then the attacking monster has to attack that summoned monster and it's attack points are halved so it would have become a dangerous target for Daylen."

Dark Magician Girl smiled at Daylen.

"Well that is something." She said. "Teacher vs. student. Well since I can no longer attack this turn, I will end my turn."

"My move." Daylen said as he drew his card. "And now I play a spell card called Dedication through Light and Darkness. Now I can take my Dark Magician and sacrifice him in order to summon the Dark Magician of Chaos." Dark Magician was absorbed by a purple orb and then the orb expanded to form the black robbed Magician with red stripes and a black headset on his head (Level 8 Attack 2800 Defense 2600)

"Look at that." Syrus smiled. "It's the great Dark Magician of Chaos, though it's too bad we won't get to see it in action because of those Magician Valkyria."

"Don't be so sure." Daylen smirked. "I still have some tricks in my hand like this, the spell card Book of Moon which flips one of your Magician Valkyria's face down" One of the Magician Valkyria's flipped faced down. "Now with that monster face down, I could just attack but now I play this spell card, Chaos Scepter Blast, now since I control a level 8 or higher spellcaster monster, I can banish 1 face down card and I choose your face down monster." The face down Magician's Valkyria began to fade and then vanished. "And now that you only have one Magician Valkyria left, my Dark Magician of Chaos will attack it with Sceptre Strike" Dark Magician of Chaos sent a blast of magic from his staff which struck Magician's Valkyria and then destroyed him. "Also, the destroyed monster is removed from play. And now I end my turn so now I get to add one spell card in my graveyard to my hand and I choose my Pot of Greed."

**Daylen: 3900**

**DMG: 6400**

Solona smiled. "You see, I told you my brother has a plan."

"That was a sweet move." Jaden smiled. "I wonder what your brother will play next."

Dark Magician Girl drew her next card. "That Dark Magician of Chaos is a good monster but too bad it won't be here for long. Because I play the spell card, Dark Burning Attack."

"Dark Burning Attack?" Syrus said over the microphone. "That's the name for Dark Magician Girl's Attack."

"Well now since I control Dark Magician Girl, I can destroy all of your monsters." Dark Magician Girl smirked and then a blast of fire emerged from Dark Magician Girl's staff which blew onto Daylen's field.

But Daylen smirked. "Sorry but I play my facedown, Black Illusion." He played the trap card he had placed down on his first turn. "Now all Dark Spellcaster monsters with 2000 or more attack points cannot be destroyed in battle. And they are unaffected by your card effects."

Dark Magician Girl sighed. "Well I guess I will end my turn"

All right, my turn." Daylen drew his next card. "I play the spell card Monster Reborn, now I can summon back one monster in my Graveyard and I choose my Skilled Dark Magician." The black robbed Magician reappeared on the field. "And now I play Pot of Greed to draw two more cards which also gives my Skilled Dark Magician, a spell counter." (SKD SC: 1) "Then I will play an equip spell known as Wonder Wand which gives my Skilled Dark Magician an extra 500 attack points." Skilled Dark Magician's rod was replaced by a large wand with a green orb at the end (SDM Attack 1900-2400 SC: 2) "And now for the fight, First of, Skilled Dark Magician will attack that Dark Magician Girl." Skilled Dark Magician sent a green ball of magic from Wonder Wand which was sent towards Dark Magician Girl's monster and destroyed her.

**Daylen: 3900**

**DMG: 6000**

"And now that your monster is gone, my Dark Magician of Chaos will attack you directly." Daylen ordered and then Dark Magician of Chaos sent his own blast of Magic which struck the Dark Magician Girl duellist.

**Daylen: 3900**

**DMG: 3200**

"And now I will end my turn with that." Daylen finished

"What is he doing?" Syrus cried over the microphone. "How could he do that to Dark Magician Gir.l"

Solona groaned at that. "What is it with Syrus and Dark Magician Girl?" she questioned

"Syrus just seems to have a crush on Dark Magician Girl." Aedan sighed. "I find ideas like that ridiculous."

"Same here." Solona agreed. "Having a crush on a card just sounds silly."

"Well I love my Elemental Heroes." Jaden smiled

Dark Magician Girl smirked as she drew her next card. "I play the spell card known as Dark Magic Veil, now by paying 1000 life points, I can summon 1 Dark Spellcaster monster from my hand or graveyard so say hello to you know who." The Dark Magician Girl monster returned to the field.

**Daylen: 3900**

**DMG: 2200**

"And since another spell card was played, my Skill Dark Magician has three spell counters." Daylen smirked (SDM SC: 3) "Which means I can now sacrifice him in order to summon the Dark Magician that's in my graveyard." The Skilled Dark Magician was engulfed in a purple light and then the purple robbed Dark Magician appeared on the field"

But this got the Dark Magician Girl smiling. "I was hoping you would do that." She said which made Daylen look confused. "Because now I play another spell card known as Brain Control, so now by paying 800 life points, I can take control of your Dark Magician." Daylen looked shocked as his Dark Magician clutched his head before moving over to Dark Magician Girl's field.

But Daylen was not worried. "Well it doesn't matter." He said. "My Dark Magician of Chaos still has more attack points that your monsters."

"Well that won't be for long." Dark Magician Girl laughed. "I play the equip spell Magic Formula which gives my Dark Magician Girl and extra 700 attack points" A magical spell book appeared in Dark Magician Girl's hand and she glowed (DMG Attack 2000-2700) "And that still may not be enough to destroy that Dark Magician of Chaos so I play another spell card. Dark Magic Twin Burst, this gives my Dark Magician Girl the attack points of Dark Magician until the end of this turn" Dark Magician and Dark Magician connected their staves and then they glowed (DMG Attack 2700-5200) "But before I attack, I'll use Mystical Space Typhoon to destroy your face down card." Daylen's face down, Negate Attack was blown away by the Typhoon "And now attack that Dark Magician of Chaos with Twin Burst Magic Attack." Dark Magician and Dark Magician Girl powered up their staves before sending a shot of magic which struck Dark Magician of Chaos which caused him to groan before exploding.

**Daylen: 1500**

**DMG: 1400**

"And that will do it for my turn which means that you get your Dark Magician back and my girls attack points returns to 2700" (DMG Attack: 5200-2700)

"All right, my move." Daylen said as he drew his card which made him smirk. "I play the spell card Graceful Charity so now I can draw three cards as long as I discard two card." Daylen drew three cards before discarding two of them. "Next I play Fusion Recovery which allows me to get back the two cards I discarded, Polymerization and Winged Dragon, Guardian of the Fortress"

"Wait, isn't Winged Dragon a dragon type." Neria stated. "I thought he used spellcasters?"

"Maybe he has some kind of a plan." Theorn suggested

"And that Polymerization card must have something to do with his plan." Aristide added

Daylen smiled. "And now I play the spell card Polymerization which allows me to fuse my Winged Dragon with Dark Magician." Dark Magician and Winged Dragon were absorbed into a portal.

"What is Daylen about to do?" Syrus asked over the microphone. "Whatever it is, it must be big."

"Daylen wouldn't do something like that unless he had a plan." Chazz added

"And now the power of my Dark Magician unites with the powers of the dragons." Daylen spoke up. "Together, they form a monster with the strength of a dragon but with the magic of my magician. I fusion summon, Dark Magician the Dragon Knight." An armored version of Dark Magician appeared on the field, riding on top of a dragon (Level 8 Attack 3000 Defense 2500)

"Now that is a cool monster." Dark Magician Girl smiled

"And it gets better." Daylen added. "Because while he's on the field, his name becomes Dark Magician which allows me to use my own Magic Formula." The Dark Magician Rider took hold of the same magical book that Dark Magician Girl held and he glowed (DMTDK Attack: 3000-3700) "And now attack, destroy that Dark Magician Girl" The dragon that Dark Magician was riding unleashed a blast of fire which shattered Dark Magician girl monster but their life points remained the same.

"Thanks to my Magical Formula, when it's destroyed, I gain 1000 life points so the damage I took was given back to me" Dark Magician Girl smiled

"Well this has been a great Duel but I'm afraid that it's over." Daylen smiled. "Because I play De-Fusion which splits my Dark Magician the Dragon Knight back into Dark Magician and Winged Dragon." Dark Magician jumped off the dragon and returned to his normal purple robe. "And now, Dark Magician, end this Duel, attack her directly with Dark Magic Attack." Dark Magician twirled his staff before launching a blast of magic which struck the Dark Magician Girl Duellist and ended the duel.

**Daylen: 1500 (Winner)**

**DMG: 0000**

Dark Magician Girl laughed.

"Thanks that was a fun match." She said and then she turned to the crowd who looked a bit disappointed. "Oh don't be so gloomy. In a way I have won because I got to meet so many of my fans"

*'Got to meet so many of my fans?'* Daylen thought and then he gasped. *'This isn't some girl dressed as Dark Magician Girl, she's the Dark Magician Girl Spirit.'*

"That was some duel Daylen." The voice of Alexis said and Daylen turned around to see Alexis, Solona, Theorn, Neria, Zane, Sereda, Jaden and Aedan.

"You did well in that duel." Neria stated

"Thanks Neria." Daylen smiled and tried to hold a blush

Theorn looked at him.

"Well that girl really has the crowd." He said as they saw the crowd cheering Dark Magician Girl on.

"Though I wonder who that girl was." Aedan wondered

"Yeah." Zane added. "I've been here for three years and I thought I would know her. But I've never met this girl before."

"I don't think we will ever know." Daylen said

"Well we still have all day to enjoy ourselves." Solona stated

"Yeah." Jaden agreed. "After all, it's Duel Monsters Spirit Day."

...

Later, the day had gone quite well. After the Duel, most of the students went off to enjoy activities. There were many game stands over the Island which included knocking over bottles and throwing hoop games as well as ball throwing. One of the most popular was the sponge throwing at Crowler since many of the students wanted to get back at him for the way he had treated Slifers and Ras. Now it was the end of the day and the school was holding a big party in the Academy Building. The party was like a disco and many of the students were dancing with each other. Daylen sat at a table with his father and sister. Avexis was nearby playing with a stuffed Kuriboh toy that Solona had won from one of the game stalls.

Solona looked at them with a bit of worry on her face.

"Are you alright sister?" Daylen asked

"I'm fine Daylen." Solona replied. "It's just I've been thinking, we've got one Shadow Rider left but with these Shadow Riders, I've forgotten all about the Venatori. We haven't had any sign of them since we rescued father."

"So you think they have given up?" Daylen asked

"I doubt it." Aristide replied. "I was held prisoner by them after I was captured by them. Besides, while they lost Razikale, they still have four of the five remaining Old God cards."

"So what happened to the last one?" Daylen asked

"I'm not so sure." Aristide admitted. "It was never found. We searched for the final card but we never found it. Though it is better to be lost than in the hands of the Venatori."

"I guess that's a better option." Daylen said and then he turned to see Theorn and Neria walked towards. "Hey Theorn, hey Neria, is everything alright?"

"Everything is fine Daylen." Neria replied. "We just wanted to ask if you two wanted to dance with us." Neria could barely hind her blush and Daylen blushed as well while Theorn and Solona smiled at each other.

"I guess we can have a dance with each other." Solona said and then she and Theorn went over to the Dance floor while Neria and Daylen went over with each other. They started to dance with each other as the music went on and the four of them blushed.

Eventually, Daylen saw the Spirit of Dark Magician Girl hiding and he let go of Neria "Excuse me a minute." he said. "I just need to nip to the loo."

"Go ahead." Neria stated. "I'll wait."

Daylen left the Disco but when he entered the corridor, he saw Dark Magician Girl.

"So all this time, you were the Spirit of Dark Magician girl." He said to her

"That's right." Dark Magician Girl said to him. "This day is the one chance I have all year to come out and play. But that was a great Duel we had Daylen. You really know how to use the Dark Magicians."

"Well my deck can still use improvement." Daylen replied

"Well what if I was in the deck" Dark Magician Girl said. "I can help improve your deck"

"I could never ask someone to do that." Daylen gasped. "And what of Yugi?"

"There's more than one Spirit." Dark Magician girl replied

"I don't know what to say." Daylen gasped. "Except that I'm honored."

"Well, I can't wait for the duels we have in the future." Dark Magician Girl smiled before she turned golden and reappeared as a card in Daylen's hand.

"I will put you to good use." Daylen smiled and then he put the card in his pocket and he went off to carry on with the Disco.
