Unwanted Love

Chazz was sitting on a bench by himself. He was in deep thought about something or rather someone important to him.

Ever since Chazz had been rescued after Banner defeated him he had one person on his mind, Alexis Rhodes.

Chazz drifted off into a daydream about how he had first started to notice Alexis in this way.

Flashback.

Chazz woke up in a strange floating ball.

'What. Where on earth am I.' He thought. Chazz looked around and saw that the ball he was in appeared to be floating in outer space.

'On second thought, where off Earth am I.'

Slowly Chazz began to remember what had happened to him. He remembered that he had been jumped by the last Shadow Rider and that he had lost the duel. He also remembered that the Shadow Rider had revealed himself to be professor Banner right before he took his soul.

'So I guess that the only thing I can do is hope that the others beat Banner.' Chazz thought. However it was then that Chazz noticed that there were two more balls floating nearby. One of them had Jaden inside and the other had Alexis. They both appeared to be asleep or unconscious.

'Oh no they must have lost as well. That means the only one left is Ryan.' Chazz thought.

With nothing else to do Chazz tried to get comfortable in his ball and wait for something to happen. As Chazz was sitting there he couldn't help but stare at Alexis. He thought that she looked so cute while she was sleeping.

Chazz soon drifted off into a daydream about himself and Alexis as a couple.

End flashback.

"I know that look." A voice said snapping Chazz out of his thoughts. Chazz looked up and saw Atticus standing over him.

"Atticus what are you doing here?" Chazz asked.

"I was just hanging out with Zane, but then I saw you and I thought that maybe I'd give you a hand." Atticus answered.

"What do you mean?" A confused Chazz asked.

"Don't play dumb. I know that lost look on your face, you're in love." Atticus said.

"What no, I mean yes, I mean no, I mean-" A very nervous Chazz said.

"Hey chill out, love makes the world go round. So tell me who's the special someone?" Atticus asked. Chazz became more nervous, he had no idea how Atticus would react to learning that he had a crush on his sister.

"Come on Chazz, I won't laugh. Just tell me, I might be able to give you some tips." Atticus said. Chazz closed his eyes and built up what little courage he had.

"It's Alexis." He whispered.

"You're in love with my sister, that's great." Atticus said surprising Chazz.

"It is." A confused Chazz said.

"Sure, I think that she could really use a boyfriend after everything that's happened." Atticus said.

"So you're not angry?" Chazz asked.

"Of course not. In fact I'm going to help you, we just need to think of a way to get her to notice you." Atticus said.

"I might have an idea." Chazz told him.

Sheppard entered his office. After the last Shadow Rider was defeated he had been in an extremely good mood. However that changed when he saw what was on his desk.

The case that held the spirit keys was sitting on Sheppard's desk and to his horror it was empty.

'No, no, no, no.' Sheppard thought as he picked up the case hoping that his eyes were just playing tricks on him. However Sheppard's eyes were fine, the keys were gone.

Sheppard quickly grabbed his phone and called Crowler.

"Vellian we have a serious problem. Someone's stolen the spirit keys." Sheppard said.

"What. No that's impossible, what are we going to do?" A panicking Crowler asked.

"Call the key keepers and tell them to meet you at the main building. I'll see if I can find any clues here." Sheppard said as he hung the phone up.

He began to search his office for any clues as to who could have stolen the spirit keys. He was so worried that he could barely think.

"What are we going to do, what are we going to do." Sheppard repeated.

Just then Sheppard noticed that there was a note on his desk that he failed to notice in his panic. He picked the note up and read it.

Jaden, Syrus, Chumley, Bastion, Zane and Crowler were all gathered outside the main building. They were all extremely worried about the disappearance of the spirit keys.

Just then Ryan and Alexis ran up and joined the group.

"Hey look, I thought that you two were always early." Jaden joked.

"Not the time Jaden. We have more important matters to address." Ryan told him.

"He's right, we have to figure out who stole the keys." Zane said.

"Maybe it was another Shadow Rider." Chumley suggested.

"But we already beat all the Shadow Riders." Crowler said.

"Maybe there's another one." Syrus suggested.

"Perhaps, but it doesn't make sense to steal the spirit keys. You have to win them in a duel." Bastion said.

Suddenly Sheppard ran out of the main building with a note in hand.

"Everyone I think I know who took the keys." He said.

"You do, who?" Jaden asked.

"I found this note in my office. It's from Chazz. He wants Alexis to meet him at the beach, then he said he'll return the keys." Sheppard explained.

"What? Why would Chazz take the keys, isn't he on our side?" Jaden asked.

"Let's worry about getting the keys back before something bad takes place." Ryan said.

The group soon arrived at the beach and found Chazz waiting for them with all seven spirit keys around his neck. Chazz was wearing a smart suit as if he was going out to dinner and he was holding a bouquet of flowers.

"Mr Princeton, what do you think you're doing?" Crowler demanded. Chazz didn't seem to be happy to see the group.

"Hey what are all of you doing here, my note asked Alexis to come alone." He said.

"Hand over the spirit keys Chazz, now." Ryan ordered.

"Hey go easy on him. He's only following his heart." A voice said.

Everyone turned and saw Atticus carrying a guitar.

"Atticus, what are you doing here?" Alexis asked.

"I'm just helping a little love bird achieve his goals." Atticus said.

"What." The entire group said together.

"It's true Alexis, I love you and I know deep down you love me too." Chazz said. Alexis looked like she was about to be sick.

"What's going on here?" A confused Jaden asked.

"I think that Chazz just hit puberty." Zane answered.

"Chazz I don't love you and I never will." Alexis said making every word as clear as possible.

"And Atticus, how on earth could you possibly be helping him." She added as she turned to her brother.

"Oh come on Alexis, at least give him a chance. I think that you two could make a lovely couple." Atticus said.

"Apparently you were released from the infirmary too early." Ryan sweat dropped.

"Chazz Princeton I demand that you return the spirit keys immediately or be expelled from Duel Academy." Sheppard ordered.

"Don't worry I'll give the keys back. Just as soon as Alexis and I have our date." Chazz said.

"Chazz, I am not going on a date with you." Alexis said. She was starting to get angry.

"What should we do?" Bastion asked.

"We could take the spirit keys back by force." Ryan suggested.

"Hold on there, there's no reason to resort to violence." Atticus said. He was starting to think this was a bad idea.

"Do you have a better idea?" Ryan asked.

"I do. How about Alexis and Chazz duel for the keys." Jaden suggested.

"Yeah great idea, and when I win Alexis and I will be a couple." Chazz said already fantasizing.

"I think Ryan's idea would be better." Zane said.

"What's wrong sis? Can't you deal with this yourself?" Atticus asked knowing this would anger Alexis.

"That's it. Chazz get your cards out, it's time to duel." Alexis said. Her face had turned bright red from rage.

The duel started.

"Like any good gentleman I believe that I should make the first move in our relationship." Chazz said as he started his turn.

"I play a monster in defense mode and I'll also place two cards face down. Your turn, my love." He added. Alexis looked a little green in the face.

Alexis drew her card and started her turn.

"Hold on my dear, I activate my trap card Present Card. This card causes you to discard every card in your hand and you get to draw five new cards. Aren't I sweet." Chazz said.

"Shut up Chazz, you're making me sick." Alexis said as she replaced her hand.

"I summon D.D Assailant in attack mode and I'll use her to attack your monster." Alexis said.

D.D Assailant ATK 1700 DEF 1600 LV4 EARTH Warrior.

D.D Assailant attacked and destroyed Chazz's monster which was revealed to be Ojama Blue.

"Thank you. Since you destroyed Ojama Blue, I can add two Ojama cards to my hand. I knew you cared." Chazz said as he added the cards to his hand.

Ojama Blue ATK 0 DEF 1000 LV2 LIGHT Beast.

"I'll place a card face down and end my turn." Alexis said.

Chazz started his turn.

"I activate the spell card One Day of Peace. This card allows us both to draw one card and neither of us can take any damage until the end of your turn. Now I'll end my turn." Chazz said as he and Alexis drew one card.

"I summon D.D Warrior Lady in attack mode and I'll also place one card face down. I end my turn." Alexis said.

D.D Warrior Lady ATK 1500 DEF 1600 LV4 LIGHT Warrior.

Chazz's turn started.

"I activate Raigeki this will destroy both of your monsters." Chazz said. Both D.D Assilant and D.D Warrior Lady were destroyed.

"Now I'll activate Polymerization to fuse Ojama Yellow and Ojama Green. With these two monsters I can create Ojama Knight." Chazz said as Ojama Knight appeared on the field in defense mode.

Ojama Knight ATK 0 DEF 2500 LV6 LIGHT Beast.

"And while Ojama Knight is on the field, you can't use two of your monster zones." Chazz explained.

"Next I activate the trap card Ojama Trio. This will summon three Ojama tokens to your side of the field. So now you can't use any of your monster zones." He continued.

3x Ojama Token ATK 0 DEF 1000 LV2 LIGHT Beast.

"What's Alexis going to do now? She can't even tribute those tokens." Syrus said.

"Relax, she'll find a way out of this situation." Ryan replied reassuringly.

Alexis drew her card and smiled.

"I activate the spell Preparation of Rites. This card allows me to add a level 7 or lower ritual monster from my deck to my hand, then it lets me add a ritual spell from my graveyard to my hand." She said as she added Cyber Angel Benten and Machine Angel Absolute Ritual to her hand.

"Now I'll use Machine Angel Absolute Ritual in order to tribute your annoying tokens and summon Cyber Angel Benten." Alexis explained.

Cyber Angel Benten ATK 1800 DEF 1500 LV6 LIGHT Fairy.

"What, I don't get it. I thought that she couldn't tribute those tokens." Chumley said.

"She can't use them for a tribute summon, but this wasn't a tribute summon it was a ritual summon." Bastion explained.

"But that's not all. Next I'll activate the spell card Merciful Machine Angel. This card allows me to tribute Benten in order to draw two cards, but then I have to send one card from my hand to the bottom of my deck. However since I tributed Benten I can also add a LIGHT Fairy monster from my deck to my hand." Alexis explained.

Alexis added Cyber Angei Dakini to her hand then she drew two cards and then placed one card on the bottom of her deck.

"I activate my trap card Urgent Ritual Art. Since I don't control a ritual monster this card lets me banish a ritual spell from my graveyard and then use it's effect and I choose Machine Angel Absolute Ritual." Alexis said.

"Now I can shuffle D.D Assilant and D.D Warrior Lady from my graveyard back into my deck in order to ritual summon Cyber Angel Dakini and her effect will instantly destroy your Ojama Knight." Alexis said as Ojama Knight was destroyed.

Cyber Angel Dakini ATK 2700 DEF 2400 LV8 LIGHT Fairy.

"And just in case you've forgotten I still haven't used my normal summon for this turn, so I'll normal summon Blade Skater in attack mode." Alexis said.

Blade Skater ATK 1400 DEF 1500 LV4 EARTH Warrior.

"I think that you know what comes next Dakini, Blade Skater attack him directly." Alexis ordered. Both Cyber Angel Dakini and Blade Skater attacked Chazz.

Chazz LP 4000 - 2700 = 1300

Chazz LP 1300 - 1400 = 0

Chazz fell to the ground defeated and heartbroken.

"No it wasn't supposed to be like this. I was supposed to win and then we were going to be happy together." He sobbed.

Alexis wasn't moved by Chazz's tears at all. She clearly had enough of Chazz's romance during the duel.

"It's over Chazz, now return the spirit keys." She said.

"Hey Alexis go easy on him. He was only following his heart." Atticus said as he stepped between Alexis and Chazz. However Alexis didn't seem to be any happier with her brother than she was with Chazz.

"And you should have known that I'd never go out with Chazz." She said as she grabbed Atticus by the ear.

Just then a helicopter flew over everyone's heads. Seconds later the seven spirit keys across Chazz's neck began to glow and then flew away from Chazz and towards the helicopter.

"What's going on?" Syrus questioned.

"Oh no Chazz had all seven spirit keys and Alexis defeated him in a duel." Sheppard said with fear in his voice.

"So that means all seven of the keys have just been activated." Crowler said, sounding even more frightened than Sheppard.

"Are you telling me the Shadow Riders were defeated for nothing." Ryan stated angrily.

Suddenly Jaden began to run towards the helicopter.

"Jaden what are you doing?" Syrus asked.

"The Sacred Beasts haven't been released yet. We still have a opportunity to stop this." Jaden said as he continued to run.

"He's right. Come on." Zane said as he ran after Jaden closely followed by the others.
