Ash Ketchum Attends Duel Academy

Field of Screams, Part 2

The next day, thick dark clouds covered the sky over Duel Academy, which reflected the peoples' general mood after what happened last night. All the remaining key keepers, plus Syrus and Chumley were gathered in the infirmary. And right now, they were listening to Jaden's ranting.

"I'll play a trap, and then I'll play a spell and then I'll attack!" He declared, still in bed. "Well, just as soon as I get better I will. Camula's gonna get it sooner or later. I mean, taking that spirit key is one thing, but Crowler's soul too?"

Speaking of Crowler, Chazz was the one who had his doll form, holding it with his hand.

"Jay... you really oughta rest." Syrus told him from his bedside.

"The worst part is, since Camula was able to take Crowler's key, she needs just nine more to unleash those Beast cards." Bastion reminded them.

Alexis glanced at her unconscious brother worriedly. "And then it won't just be our souls at stake, but everyone's in the world."

"That's it!" Jaden exclaimed. "I'm dueling her! Tonight!"

"You duel? Think again." Chazz pulled the bed sheet over Jaden's head. "You can't even win a fight with a sheet. This duel is for the Chazz."

"Hold on. Hold on." Jaden said before he pulled the sheet back over his head, freeing himself. "There! I won!"

"You did not! It's two out of three!" Chazz stated and pulled the blanket over Jaden's head again.

Ash then entered the infirmary with Pikachu.

"Come on, Jaden! You can do it!" Syrus encouraged his friend.

"Look, Jaden's not up to snuff. One of us is gonna have to face Camula."

"And by us you mean you, correct?" Bastion asked. "I'm sorry Chazz, but I'm not entirely convinced that you're the man for the job. I should go."

"You?"

"A-almost got it." Jaden muttered under the sheet. "Man! What thread count is this?"

"Shut it!" Chazz snapped, turning to his fellow Slifer.

"Sure..." Jaden stopped fighting. "I need a break."

"I'll be the one who will duel her." Ash declared.

He then left the infirmary without saying any other word.

He was going to be the one that took the vampire on.

Meanwhile, inside the dark castle, Camula was laying in her bubble filled bathtub. Her eyes were closed until they opened in response to a unwelcome presence in her mind.

Meanwhile, at the Slifer dorm, Chazz was sitting on his bed and rearranged his deck. It was quite peaceful, that is until his annoying, yellow duel spirit showed up and flew up to his face.

"Hey! Long time, Boss! How's things?"

As a response, Chazz smacked Ojama Yellow into a flat TV screen. 

"They were fine, until you showed up." He muttered.

"Oh, and now things are great, right?" The yellow spirit phased through the TV and approached his master. "Thanks Boss. You always know how to make me feel good. So what are you doing? Arranging your deck? Can I help?"

Chazz smacked the duel spirit once again. And this time, he flew across the room and landed on the Crowler doll that on the desk nearby. "Hey! Fragile here!" A familiar voice coming from the doll said. Ojama Yellow heard it and got curious as he began to check on the doll.
