The Eighth Emperor

Equals

Orianna's POV

I am on the ground, panting, and trying to catch my breath. Shark and I are duelling, and our whole class is watching. Shark just hit me with drill barnacles, and and he is about to hit me for 1900 damage with Aero Shark. I only have 400 hundred to his 1900 left. Aero shark is also out of XYZ units. There isn't any way that I can win, but I have a card that can at least make it a draw. I stand up, and wait for his attack.

"Aero Shark! Attack Orianna for 1900 attack points!" Shark is smirking, and he is covered in dirt and scratches.

"I use the trap card 'Return the Favour'. This card deals you damage equal to your monster attack that is currently attacking. However, it still hits me." I smile, as I know that he hasn't got any way he can stop the attack of his monster, to stop the effects of my card. He doesn't have any face downs either. And the shock on his face says it all. My smile gets bigger. Shark is hit with a whirlwind as Aero Shark hits me. We are both knocked down, and draw comes up in the virtual reality. The class starts to clap.

"Let's go class." Says Mr K. The bell goes and the kids start heading towards their lockers. Shark walks up to me as the last few stragglers leave.

"Wow. Your a pretty good dueller. I'm sorry about what I said yesterday. Wanna hang out somewhere? I mean, you were told to follow me, so why not make it easier?" Shark is being awfully nice. This is unusual I think.

"Ok. Thank you!" I smile at him and we start walking. I spot a water tower, and a fire escape.

"Hey, why don't we hang out up there?" I point to the after tower.

"Nah. There are a couple of dweebs that hang around up there." He put his hands in his pocket, and nodded towards the tower. "And there they are now."

A boy with spiky hair, a girl with a green bun, and another boy with a cap were climbing the ladder.

"Who are they? Do you know?" I looked at Shark for a response.

"Heh, who doesn't? The spiky-haired one is Yuma, the school's worst dueller. He's lost twenty in a row. The girl is Tori, his girlfriend I think (Shark: although, I don't know why anyone would go out with that loser) and the one with the cap is Bronk." He looked a little disgusted.

"Hmph. Oh well. So, where do you hang out?" I shrugged my shoulders. Shark stopped.

"Right here."

A/N: I made up the card Return the Favour.
