Ash Ketchum Attends Duel Academy

Sibling Rivalry

It was another morning at Duel Academy. Things were calm until Chazz decided to vent his frustration the only way he knew how.

"I can't take it anymore! The Chazz shouldn't live like a Slifer Rat!" Chazz sat up on his bed, in his very cramped room, "I used to be an Obelisk Blue!"

He looked around his room, taking in the room's features and thinking of the ones from his old dorm, "Jacuzzi tub, turn down service...a week of renovations and this place still isn't livable!"

The bed took up most of the room, making him glad he didn't room with anyone else. He also brought out his couch and his plasma TV. But whatever else he had was still in boxes since the ending of the School Duel.

While Chazz was having that breakdown, he didn't notice his Ojama Yellow pop out of his deck case.

"Hey, Boss!" The Spirit greeted, "You look stressed!" He flew up to Chazz's shoulders and nodded as he felt around, "Oh yeah, feel all this stress building up!"

Chazz snapped his head to the Spirit, glaring hard at him, "You! If you wanna be helpful, get lost!"

Ojama Yellow cried and floated around him, letting the tears fall.

Chazz swiped at him. 

"Also...if you wanna see pressure, then how's this?!" He slammed his hands together just Ojama Yellow came in between them.

With a puff of smoke, the annoying Spirit was gone.

"Finally...some peace and quiet." Chazz sighed, lowering his head, "Bout time, too."

"Hey, what's up, Chazz?"

Chazz yelped, and then slowly turned around, glaring at the source of the newest annoyance. Jaden and Syrus were standing at his doorway.

"Haven't you heard of knocking?!" He snapped.

"Yeah, but where's the fun in that?" Jaden shrugged, grinning.

"Plus, your door's over there." Syrus added.

Chazz face faulted, "That's not funny..."

"Hm...I guess not." Jaden turned to Syrus, grinning, "So, let's go for fun!"

Without a single moment of hesitation, the two Slifers jumped over the couch that barred the doorway, and start to bounce on Chazz's mattress, laughing with each bounce.

"Get off!" Chazz yelled as he was unwillingly bounced along with them, "My mattress isn't a trampoline!"

Jaden bounced again, "By the way..."

"...the Chancellor..." Syrus bounced, nearly hitting the ceiling. "Wants to see you."

"Sheppard?!" Chazz stared at them, unsure if he heard right, "What does he want with me?"

"Something about the fate of Duel Academy... I dunno."

Wanting to hear it from the man himself, the four Slifers headed over to the Chancellor's office to find out what's up...

"I have urgent news for you, Chazz."

Sheppard turned around in his chair and looked at Chazz, who was flanked by Jaden and Syrus. Professor Banner sat nearby on a couch, petting his faithful cat.

Chazz raised an eyebrow, stuffing his hands into his pockets, "Like what? My new bed here yet?"

"Cool!" Jaden grinned, "I say we go and jump around on it, test it out!"

"This isn't about your living arrangements, Chazz." Banner explained quietly as Pharaoh purred in his lap.

"Then what?" Chazz glanced from the Slifer headmaster to Sheppard.
