Sibling Rivalry

It was your typical day at the Academy. The sun was shining in the sky and there were no classes since it was the weekend. Chazz wasn't very happy. He was in his room laying on his bed.

"I can't stand this!" He yelled. "Why am I forced to live like a Slifer Red. I used to be an Obelisk Blue. Jacuzzi tub, turn down service… a week of renovations and this place still isn't livable!"

"Hey boss!" Ojama Yellow spoke up as he popped out of his owner's deck, floating up to land of his shoulders. "You sound stressed. Oh yeah, just look at all that pressure building up."

"If you wanna be helpful, then get lost!" The annoying duel spirit cried loudly as he jumped off. "And, if you wanna see pressure…" Chazz caught the spirit between his two hands, causing it to disappear. "Alright, finally… some peace and quiet."

"What's up?" Chazz cried out in distress as he turned around, taking notice of Jaden and Syrus who were standing just outside of his open doorway.

"Ever heard of knocking!"

"We did, but… your door is way over there." Syrus answered, pointing off to the side. Both red coated Slifers laughed at this.

"Not funny."

"Yeah, I guess not." Jaden said. "So let's go for fun." The two of them then hopped over the couch and started jumping on Chazz's bed, much to his displeasure.

"Get off my bed!" He complained. "It's not a trampoline!"

"By the way..." Jaden began.

"… the chancellor…" Syrus continued.

"… wants to see you."

"Sheppard? What for?" Chazz asked.

"Not sure." Jaden answered. "Just something about the fate of Duel Academy."

"Hello Chazz," the Chancellor spoke up. "I have some urgent news for you."

"Finally." The black coat wearing Slifer said. "My new bed arrived?"

"This isn't about your living arrangements." Banner answered.

"Yeah? Then what is it?"

"Well…"Sheppard spoke up again, looking a little gloomy. "It seems that… someone is trying to… buy out Duel Academy. And this someone plans to get rid of all the teachers and students here, and shut this place down forever."

"WHAT!" The three students exclaimed in surprise.

"Why'd they want to do something like this anyway?" Jaden asked.

"Without us, they can control the entire dueling world." was the answer.

(Flashback)

"You heard me right." Seto Kaiba said as he stood in his office, with his back to the two men in suits who wanted to buy out Duel Academy. "It's not about the money, it's about the cards. I will only consider selling you my academy under the condition that you prove your worth as a duelist, and beat one of my students in battle."

(Flashback end)

"It comes down to one duel." Banner stated.

"Let me, I'll whoop this guy!" Jaden pitched in.

"No, you won't be competing." Sheppard informed them. "The duelist has already been chosen."

"Huh? Then who's it going to be?" Syrus wondered. In response, the Chancellor looked to the black coat Slifer. "So… it's Chazz?"

"For some reason, they asked for him specifically," Banner added as he got up and walked over to a TV screen on the wall with Duel Academy's logo. "I believe this is them now." He then pressed a button on the controls below, and they were all surprised to see the faces of Slade and Jagger come up on screen.

"It's Chazz brothers?" Syrus piped up.

"That figures." Jaden muttered.

"Lousy scrubs!" Chazz spat out. "What're you up to?"

"Come on Chazz, don't you know?" Slade asked. "Jagger?"

"Same thing."

"Complete world domination." They both said.

"Remember?" Jagger continued. "It was our little family project."

"Your project, not mine!" The younger Princeton replied.

"Yeah, well now it pretty much has to be, huh Chazz?" Slade spoke up again.

"That's right." Jagger agreed. "Because you couldn't pull your weight. You couldn't conquer the world of duel monsters like we'd planned. So now, Slade is just gonna have to do it for you."

"Your plans will fail miserably Slade, Jagger." The Shiba siblings bitterly said as they entered the office.

"Ryan, what's with the Shiba siblings?" Syrus asked nervously, having never seen them this ticked off before.

"Apparently they're from a middle class family of Samurais."

"So I'm dueling Slade?"

"You'll take him easy." Syrus said.

"Totally." Jaden added. "I mean, Slade's just an amateur."

"Careful it's never this easy." Davis said. "There's usually a catch."

"That's right." Slade agreed. "There are a few conditions to this duel. First, I get to use all these rare cards." He showed them a briefcase containing a bunch of cards. "The same rare cards we gave Chazz to use in the school duel, of course, he refused to use them, and he lost. And one more thing Chazz… during our duel, your deck is only allowed to have monsters with less than 500 attack points."

"What the-?"

"Five hundred!" Syrus exclaimed.

"Relax it's covered." Kaoru said. "We have a plan."

She handed Chazz a deck of cards.

"This deck contains Ojama cards." She explained.

"And we also put in something special to deal with Slade." Arisa added.

By some odd twist of fate, shortly after, news of what had happened inside Chancellor Sheppard's office was already running around like wildfire. Bits and dribbles of students talking amongst themselves reached Chazz's ears as he was walking along.

"This is terrible!"

"This whole mess is totally Chazz's fault."

"I heard he's already accepted defeat."

"He probably wants his brothers to win."

"We should've never let him back here."

"You know what I think?" Jaden spoke up, at which Chazz stopped in his tracks and turned around to look at the Slifer in question. "I think you're all dead wrong. I know Chazz can win this duel, because I've dueled him myself. And duelists don't come much tougher than him!"

"And at least Chazz has more backbone than most of you put together." Arisa snapped.

The following day, all of Duel Academy's students and faculty members were seated in the Obelisk arena. On one end, Jaden, Ryan Syrus, Chumley, Bastion, the Shiba Siblings, Alexis and Zane were all sitting together. **"Ladies and gentlemen."** A voice came through the speakers as Chazz and his brother Slade stood face to face on the platform in the middle. **"This match will determine the fate of Duel Academy! Slade Princeton vs Chazz Princeton! Now, are you ready to duel?"**

"If you wanna back out, tell me now." Slade said to Chazz.

"Does this answer your question?" The younger brother asked as he held out his duel disk.

"Bring it!" The two of them then started up their disks and drew their starting hands.

"Duel!"

Chazz: 4000

Slade: 4000

"It's go time." Chazz declared as he drew his sixth card. "Now check this out. I summon Ojama Red in defense mode."

Ojama Red: 0/1000

"Then I place two cards face down." He said.

"With that attack point handicap Chazz has on him, I bet we'll be hearing that a lot." Alexis commented.

"Hey, with defense points like those, that might just be a good thing." Jaden noted.

"You're up, bro." Chazz pointed out.

"Thank you. And I'll activate Polymerization, to fuse Lord of Dragons with Divine Dragon Ragnarok."

"This can't be good." Syrus piped up.

"With these, I can summon King Dragun." Both the light colored serpentine dragon and armored dragon lord disappeared into Polymerization's vortex. What came out was a larger version of the armored man, with a dragon shaped horn in one hand, except that from his chest down, his body was that of a shiny dragon with a long tail.

King Dragun: 2400/1100

"And check out his special ability. Once per turn, I get to summon any dragon type monster from my hand. Like this one for example. Luster Dragon #2!" An imposing emerald green dragon appeared next to Dragun. This one with two hind legs and smaller arms, a whip like tail, snakelike neck and wide wings.

Luster Dragon #2: 2400/1400

"You fell for my trap. Go face down cards Dragon Capture Jar and Imperial Custom."

King Dragun and Luster Dragon #2 kneel.

"What the?" Slade gasped.

"Dragon Capture Jar switches your dragons to defense mode and prevents them from changing their battle positions."

"That should keep Slade at bay for a while." Arisa said.

"How did you know Slade would have dragons on him?" Chumley asked.

"I overheard him and Jagger mention something about Armed Dragon LV3 and 5 but not level 7 during the school duel. Foolish move on their part." Arisa said. "That and we have another cousin who happens to be a dragon Duelist so we know what to do."

"And if Arisa was facing Slade she'd kick his butt with no trouble at all." Kaoru added.

"Big deal." Slade scoffed. "I'll eventually get past that jar."

"I doubt it." Davis said.

"Well are you going to end your turn." Chazz said.

Slade was unable to attack due to Dragon Capture Jar.

"Back to me then." Chazz drew.

"I summon Ojama Yellow in defense mode."

Ojama Yellow: 0/1000

"It's back to you."

Slade drew his card without saying anything.

"I play a monster in defense mode and end my turn."

"Looks like Slade is stuck without a plan." Kaoru said.

"Serves him right." Arisa added.

"That's what they get for treating Chazz like dirt." Davis added.

"My move then." Chazz drew.

"I play Ojama Black in defense mode."

Ojama Black: 0/1000

"Then I activate Double Summon to bring out Ojama Green."

Ojama Green: 0/1000

"I'll play Ojama Delta Hurricane to destroy all the cards on your field."

"Finally there's the field spell Ojama Country to reverse the attack points of my Ojama monsters."

"Attack him directly."

Slade lost all of his life points.

Slade: 0

"Awesome." Kaoru said.

"He did well despite the handicap." Arisa added.

"Chazz did it!" Syrus exclaimed.

"Way to go!" Chumley added.

"He saved the school!" Jaden pitched in.

"Wait!" Chazz spoke up, interrupting everyone's cheering. "You know the cheer. Chazz… it… up! Chazz it up!"

"Chazz it up! Chazz it up! Chazz it up! Chazz it up! Chazz it up!"

"Imbecile!" Jagger berated his brother as he walked off the stage. "How could you lose this!"

"Relax, it's only one duel."

"One duel! Just listen to them. This 'one duel', has turned Chazz into a hero… and a major headache for us."

"Too bad." The Shiba siblings rubbed this loss in their faces.

Kaoru then heard her cell phone ringing.

"Who's calling?" She asked.

She opened up her cell phone.

"Hello." It was Tyson.

"Hey sis. Are Arisa and Davis with you."

"Yes they are." Kaoru said. "I'll put you on speaker."

"I'm calling to inform you what Kaiba told our dad."

"And what did Kaiba say?"

"He said he wasn't surprised Chazz won the duel."

"Was he surprised that we were involved with helping Chazz?" Arisa asked.

"Not really." Davis replied.

"That's our dad for you." Kaoru added.

"Dad says that Kaiba considers us some of the only decent students in the Blue dorm." Tyson said.

"With the addition of three others."

"We still need to keep a eye on most of the Blues."

"Keep doing what you're doing." Tyson said. "I've got a job of my own to do."
