Yu Gi Oh! Role Play: Reopening The Academy! [IC Thread] [AXED/PM me as to why it should be revived] [PG-12]

[宇佐見 蓮子@C94]

[b]RIKAKU AYASATO[/b]

[i][color=#FF8C00]"He didn't counter that attack? Strange. I expected him to counter with something." [/color][/i][color=#000000]Rikaku wondered as her Red-Eyes Darkness Dragon destroyed Kyousuke's Tetrorge with ease. [/color]"[color=#00FFFF]And you call my strategy shallow?[/color] [color=#00FFFF]Yours is certainly powerful, but has no more depth than any other. In fact, less[/color] [color=#00FFFF]than most I've seen. Not that I want to bash your choice of deck, but at least try not be a hypocrite." [/color][color=#000000]Rikaku heard Kyousuke making a bad remark about her strategy. [/color][color=#FF8C00]"No, you'd be wrong. The Rescue Dragon i banished earlier would be a key to my victory. Plus, no matter what you do, i have prepared a counter for it. Moving on, Red-Eyes Darkness Metal Dragon, attack his Lost Blue Breaker!" [/color]Rikaku pointed her finger at Kyousuke's Lost Blue Breaker, signaling Red-Eyes Darkness Metal Dragon's impending attack.

[Chaotic Angel]

Yuki arrives to the scene, grabbing a blade from Elisha, saying, [b][color=#FF0000]"Oh, crap... Not that many would break in to Gold Academy, huh..." [/color][/b]before summoning a strong vortex, strong enough to bring down more than half of the intruders trying to break in and start a fight. Then, she focuses on Torn, badly bruised, carries her away from the scene and takes her for medical attention. As the battle draws to the end, Ashley drops his blade, with himself filled with blood and eventually collapses, without saying a word. With one intruder left in the building, None but Wolfram, who had turned to Fenrir, can take the fighting much more, with Torn and Yuki out of the scene, Chris absent, Ashley and Elisha unconscious, and also Wolfram still up with his Duel Partners, Felix and William. Meanwhile, watching from Hotel Omega, Ron comes back to his room and watches everything that has happened. [b][color=#0000CD]"F*ck this... I've seen much worse happen to Gold Academy than this..." [/color][/b]he said to himself, determined to add security to Gold Academy. He reaches out for his microphone, and said, [b][color=#0000CD]"This is Chancellor Ron Yim speaking from Hotel Omega... I order those fighting the intruders to take a rest... I'm going to be adding security to the academy overnight... I suggest all of you should call it a day now...." [/color][/b]before putting his microphone down and thinks about what he should do next.

[ParadoxCaller]

[color=#b22222]"Need assistance now at Obelisk Blue Boys' Dorm! We have hundreds of intruders and Ashley and I are badly bruised!".[/color] It was Torn, and from the sound of it, it was urgent, so Chris began sprinting down the hallways in order to reach the Obelisk Blue Dorm as fast as possible. While on his way, he felt a strange heaviness in his chest, but decided not to think too much of it. Deep inside Chris's heart, the Earthbound Immortal Ccapac Apu laid dormant, having been awakened once again with Chris's thoughts of possible violence. It tried reaching out to his mind but failed. Chris needed to drop his guard more for it to work. But the Immortal waited, it had waited a long time now and was sure not to let this moment slip by.

[center]* * *[/center]

Eventually, Chris made it to the Obelisk Blue Dorm and heard all the commotion coming from inside. As he rounded the corner, he was met by the most unusual sight he had ever seen in his life. There was blood splatter all over the walls, cealing and floor. With dismembered body parts lying everywhere as well as dead bodies. It was truly a horrific sight, and as soon as Chris layed his eyes upon it, something awakened inside him, which caused him to crouch. [color=#800080]"Carnage, so much carnage." [/color][i]Crap, not this again.[/i] [color=#800080]"Your mind is weak again, so it allows me to reach your conscious self." [/color][i]You're the Immortal?[/i] [color=#800080]"I am!" [/color][i]So it was you who sent me those nightmares. [/i][color=#800080]"The time for talk is over, I've waited far too long for this." [/color]A dark menacing aura starts surrounding Chris and he's thrown to the ground, as his entire boddy aches. Eventually, the aura fades away, and Chris stands on all floor, amongst all the commotion.

[Kingdom Xathers]

[size=4]Despite the order from the Chancellor to cease fighting, Fenrir continued his onslaught, striking down any of the downed intruders who were still able to so much as breathe. One intruder then caught his eye; this one was actually trying to crawl away, his left arm having already been cut off. Furious that this feeble insect was defying him, Fenrir strode over to the trespasser, grabbed and hoisted him up by his helmet while Fenrir prepared to run him through with his sword.

"Gah..! N..no...!," begged the intruder, "please, I... I don't want to--!"

[font=times new roman,times,serif]"Wolfram, stop!"[/font] Wulf cried out, unable to look upon the carnage caused by his partner any further. [font=times new roman,times,serif]"That's enough, it's over already!"[/font]

Ignoring the Lightsworn, Fenrir tossed the intruder down onto the floor, and held him down with his foot whilst holding the tip of the sword over his chest. [color=#696969]"Should 'ave just stayed daahhhn, ya wanker!"[/color] Fenrir shouted out as he began to plunge the sword downward--

[color=#000000][size=7][i][font=times new roman,times,serif][b]"I SAID "STOP"!!"[/b][/font][/i][/size][/color]

[font=times new roman,times,serif][font=arial,helvetica,sans-serif]Almost instantly, Fenrir froze in place, the tip of the sword in his hands just a couple millimeters shy of piercing the intruder's heart. Wulf stood by, his whole body shaking, his expression furious behind his tears. After a while, the intruders groaning and gasps the only sounds breaking the silence, Wolfram's body went lax, his hair falling over his face once again. The sword in his hands fell to the floor with a clatter next to the intruder who a few seconds ago would have been exterminated. [/font][/font]

[font=times new roman,times,serif][font=arial,helvetica,sans-serif]Wolfram's vision became blurred before his body went limp, William Hartford rushing up to catch him before he hit the floor.[/font][/font]

[font=arial, helvetica, sans-serif]Unable to remain in this scene of carnage, Wulf ran off in the direction of the courtyard. [font=lucida sans unicode,lucida grande,sans-serif]"Wulf, wait!"[/font] called out Farkas, though he didn't run after his cousin just yet. [font=lucida sans unicode,lucida grande,sans-serif]"Umbris, you and Wildheart take care of Wolfram and the other Dorm Heads." [/font][/font]

[font=arial, helvetica, sans-serif]At this, Felix and William tensed up, unsure of how to respond.[/font]

[font=arial, helvetica, sans-serif][font=lucida sans unicode,lucida grande,sans-serif]"... yes, I know it's really you two,"[/font] Farkas continued. [font=lucida sans unicode,lucida grande,sans-serif]"No offense, Umbris, but Duel Spirits aren't so easily fooled by disguises."[/font][/font]

[font=arial, helvetica, sans-serif]A brief silence later (the intruder that Wolfram almost killed expired a few seconds ago), Felix scoffed, a half-hearted smirk on his face. [color=#4b0082]"So... what gave me away?"[/color][/font]

[font=arial, helvetica, sans-serif][font=lucida sans unicode,lucida grande,sans-serif]"Well, I'll admit, I was... confused for a while,"[/font] Farkas said, [font=lucida sans unicode,lucida grande,sans-serif]"but then I remembered your scent; it's faint, partly due to your disguise, but it's still there. Of course, your mannerisms kinda shown through, as well. As for Wildheart,"[/font] he continued as he turned his head to William, [font=lucida sans unicode,lucida grande,sans-serif]"you exude a particular vibe. It's something I felt even through your partner Luisa."[/font][/font]

[font=arial, helvetica, sans-serif][color=#8b4513]"Really, now?"[/color] William responded, amazed that, despite never actually meeting before Farkas' death at the hands of Forsaken Wulf, the Moonsworn Archer was able to recognize him from his presence.[/font]

[font=arial, helvetica, sans-serif]Farkas nodded. [font=lucida sans unicode,lucida grande,sans-serif]"Now, if you'll excuse me, I have a cousin to calm down,"[/font] he said before running off in the direction that Wulf had gone.[/font][/size]

[Chaotic Angel]

After the fight finished, Ron sent for cleaners to clear up the scene of the fight, and destroys evidence that the fight even existed and got the cleaners to send the unconcious Heads of Dorm to the Medical Department for attention. At 6pm, the cafeteria was open for service. Inside the canteen, are several robots acting as lunch supervisors, programmed to clean up after lazy slobs. Ron began watching the cafeteria from the screen. [b][color=#0000CD]"I hope everything goes according to plan..." [/color][/b]he said to himself, before reaching for the microphone and shouting, [b][color=#0000CD]"This is Chancellor Ron speaking... The cafeteria is now open for service, after many technical difficulties... I hope you brought money with you, 'cause they do charge for whatever food you ask for. Minor foods like sausages cost 3DP and major foods like beef and chicken costs 30DP. Don't waste your money on crap you don't really want, though." [/color][/b]before putting his microphone down, lays down on his bed and waits for more trouble, which is unlikely to happen.

[i][b]~In Medical Department~[/b][/i]

Well, work at Gold Academy could never be called boring, Kanda mused, amber eyes scanning the medical notes of her latest patients. Despite the circumstances surrounding the attack and their consequent injuries, there would be no lasting damage. A couple of scrapes and bruises but nothing serious. The various staff members had been placed in a restricted area to stop any nosy students from poking their noses in. This also meant that Kanda could focus on their injuries first, where her fellow nurses could tend to the few students that had already gotten themselves sent to the medical department this early in the year.

Sipping on a juice box as she finished recapping the progress of the staff members, she couldn't help but think that they had got off lucky. Ashley and Elisha would have a bad headache for the next couple of days but nothing worse than that. She had personally bandaged up the worse of Torn's wounds and, if looked after carefully, they wouldn't even scar. They should be able to carry on with their own business in no time, as long as they promised to pop in over the next couple of days so she could keep track of their progress.

[Chaotic Angel]

With all the medical attention recieved, 15 minutes later, all the Heads of Dorm are conscious and are able to move about, with the exception of Ashey and Torn, who are still badly bruised and in crutches. Elisha helps herself to some food from the café, whereas Yuki heads back to her dorm with a salad pot in her hand, ready to eat. In Hotel Omega, Ron helps himself with some 5-star restaurant food, with three courses to taste. [b]"I hope you enjoy your meal, sir... Starters coming up." [/b]the waiter said, walking off to the kitchen to prepare some starters for the Chancellors of all Duel Academies (In Ron's case, it would be Gold Academy). [b][color=#0000CD]"Good... Surprise me, I'd like something good for once in this hotel..." [/color][/b]he said, picking up his knife and fork and waiting for his food to arrive.[b][i][color=#0000CD] "How good are these people again?" [/color][/i][/b]he thought to himself.

[Kingdom Xathers]

A few minutes after most of the other Heads of Dorm had awoken, Wolfram finally stirred back to consciousness. It took Wolfram a while to realize his situation; he was shirtless (although he normally slept without a shirt, anyway, so he wasn't too perturbed about that), he was not in his room, and he had a pounding migrain. It took him a few more seconds to rememberwhat had happened before... and he found himself not-too-happy about it.

[color=#808080]"Ugh... dammit, why...?"[/color] he muttered to himself, cradling his head in his hands. He was frustrated with himself for having allowed "Fenrir" to take control, mortified at what he must have done as "Fenrir"... and saddened that it had now reminded him of he had done in the past as "Fenrir".

[color=#4b0082]"Hey, so you're finally up,"[/color] said a voice from across the room. Wolfram looked up from his hands to see Felix sitting on the bed across from him, pressing an ice-pack against his jaw. "You've been out cold most of the day; only the Heads of Obelisk Blue are still passed out."

[color=#808080]"Felix...? Oh, umm... yes, I'm fine now, though,"[/color] Wolfram replied, not entirely comfortable with going into detail as to what had happened. He then began to busy himself with trying to find a shirt, or something else to wear on his exposed torso.

[color=#4b0082]"Try the linen closet,"[/color] Felix suggested. [color=#4b0082]"You should find a medical scrub to wear in there. Second door to the left."[/color]

[color=#808080]"Oh! Uh, thank you,"[/color] Wolfram uttered in surprise, yet was thankful for the suggestion as he got off of the bed and strode to the closet in question.

[Chaotic Angel]

As Wolfram is now conscious, Ashley and Torn, both in crutches pay a visit to the Head of Slifer Red Boys himself. [b][color=#B22222]"You alright, Wolf? You seem to be mortified about your past?" [/color][/b]Torn asked, curious about Wolfram's past as she stands in crutches. [b][color=#D3D3D3]"There's nothing to worry about, now that we're all up. Let's hope we don't forget our Press Meeting first thing tommorow morning... I'm gonna have an early night..." [/color][/b]Ashley encouraged, leaving Torn and Wolfram in the Medical Department to chat amongst themselves, before hopping back to Obelisk Blue Boys' Dorm and sat on his bed in his room. Back in the Medical Department, Torn starts a conversation with Wolfram. [b][color=#B22222]"You don't mind talking to me about that 'Fenrir' dude, don't you? To be quite honest, he is a bit intimidating..." [/color][/b]she said, interested in knowing about Fenrir, Wolfram's alter-ego.

[Kingdom Xathers]

[color=#808080]"Wha--I-I--!"[/color] Wolfram stammered, unsure of how to respond to this sudden inquiry. He didn't wish to appear rude, and yet... the very thought of the subject gave him slight nausea. [color=#808080]"... I... I'm sorry,"[/color] he said to Torn, [color=#808080]"... but I... I'm not comfortable discussing this. It's... not the best time at the moment, I'm sorry...." [/color] Without another word, Wolfram quickly strode out of the Infermary.

------

As soon as he was certain that no one was following him, Wolfram slowed down his gait, finding himself in the middle of a lonely hallway. Through the large-paneled windows, Wolfram could see the moon shining brightly, bathing the floor of the hallway, as well as the courtyard outside, in its calm glow.

[font=times new roman,times,serif]"Wolfram?"[/font] whispered a voice nearby. Wolfram turned around toward the source, to see Wulf and Farkas sitting on a bench nearby.

[color=#808080]"Wulf!"[/color] blurted out the Lightsworn duelist as he made his way to the bench, seating himself to Wulf's right. [color=#808080]"... are you alright?"[/color]

[font=times new roman,times,serif]"... ... I suppose...,"[/font] Wulf replied, a hint of uncertainty in his tone. [font=times new roman,times,serif]"... what about you?"[/font]

[color=#808080]"Well, I suppose that depends on your definition of "alright","[/color] Wolfram said with a hollow chuckle, though almost immediately felt terrible for even laughing. [color=#808080]"Truth is, I... don't what to think about myself, anymore...."[/color]

Wulf gave a slight sigh, then gave a quick glance over to Farkas. [font=times new roman,times,serif]"... Wolfram... about my dream... earlier this morning...."[/font]

Wolfram's eyebrows furrowed a bit when he heard this. [color=#808080]"Oh, right. Your dream. So, you wish to talk about it, now?"[/color]

Wulf gave a slight, hesitant nod. [font=times new roman,times,serif]"... in my dream... ... ... it was...,"[/font] the Lightsworn Beast stammered, trying desperately to find the words while attempting to hold back his tears. [font=times new roman,times,serif]"... ... I saw... ... everyone that I hurt... everyone that I... ... I...." [/font]

[font=times new roman,times,serif][font=arial,helvetica,sans-serif]Wulf could no longer hold it together, and began sobbing violently. Wolfram knew exactly what Wulf was referring to; the period of time where the Lightsworn forsook the light and walked the path of chaos, as Forsaken Wulf. During this time, Wulf caused numerous atrocities, manipulating other Duel Spirits, opposing the Signers, and above all, murder, attempted or otherwise. Among the Duel Spirits he had assaulted were his own cousin, Farkas, and Elemental HERO Wildheart, though Wildheart managed to survive.[/font][/font]

[font=arial, helvetica, sans-serif]Wolfram understood how this past was affecting Wulf, and he couldn't blame him for it; in fact... it was Wolfram himself who had a hand in his partner's descent into madness. Wolfram, during his time as "Fenrir", had been overly abusive to Wulf, having Lycanthrope and other wolf Spirits assault the Lightsworn for disobeying orders and what-not. Even so, Wulf himself remained with "Fenrir", trying to find a way to return Wolfram to normal....[/font]

[font=arial, helvetica, sans-serif][color=#808080]"... Wulf... I'm so sorry,"[/color] uttered Wolfram, a few tears running down his own face....[/font]

[Chaotic Angel]

---The next morning, 3:25am---

The next morning arrives, and a siren could be heard from afar, waking up all Heads of Dorms. Torn was the first one up, shortly followed five minutes later, by Elisha and Yuki. Then Ashley wakes up at 3:35am. Then, the White Hall phones go off, with the Heads of Slifer Red, Ra Yellow Girls, and Heads of Obelisk Blue all going to their respective White Halls to pick up their phones. [b][color=#0000CD]"Hello, Dorm Heads, this is Chancellor Ron. Chris' car will be arriving in about an hour. Have breakfast in the cafeteria, then prepare for the meeting ahead of you. All but Chris are using Duel Runners to get to the hotel. More importantly, avoid all police officers. I'm gonna hang up now. You got an hour." [/color][/b]Ron explained on the phone, as all Heads of Dorm hang up their phones and headed to the cafeteria for breakfast, apart for Yuki and Elisha, who went to Slifer Red Boys and Ra Yellow Boys' Dorms respectively to wake up their counterparts. [b][color=#FF0000]"Wolf! Wake up, you beast! The Press Meeting is today! You got an hour!" [/color][/b]Yuki whispered to Wolfram. [b][color=#00FFFF]"Wake up, lazy dumbass! Press Meeting's today, if you have forgotten! We only have an hour left until your car arrives!" [/color][/b]Elisha explained, trying to whisper like she is shouting.

[Cray-Crow]

Kozaku's 'Reborn Tengu' made a direct hit, inflicting 1700 points of damage to Hellren, dealing the first damage done in this duel. [Hellren's 8000 LP - 1700 = 6300 LP].

[color=#0000FF]"Ha! I've drawn first blood for this duel, and with that accomplish as a mark, I shall end my turn!"[/color]

[color=#800000]"Alright. Draw!" [/color]Hellren's field was empty of both monsters and set cards. Kozaku had a formidable creature and a threatening face-down card. The stall Hellren had wanted hadn't really worked, due to Kozaku summoning that Synchro monster, but looking at his drawn Monster card, maybe he didn't have to stall any longer.

[color=#800000]"I Special Summon from my hand, 'Evil Hero Infernal Prodigy'!" [/color]A demented, skinny fiend appeared on Hellren's field, laughing sinisterly while ebbing its body to and fro. [300 ATK, 600 def] [b](response? if not ->)[/b] [color=#800000]And now for my Normal Summon, I tribute my Infernal Prodigy for 'Caius the Shadow Monarch'!" [/color][b](response? if not ->) [/b]The little field disappeared in a black twister, and in its place, a black dimensionless ball formed itself, and in flashes of violet lightning, Caius took form, roaring eerily. [2400 ATK, 1000 def] [color=#800000]"Because he was tribute summoned, Caius can use his ability! Caius, remove his set card from play!"[/color] Caius formed a black orb similar in caliber to the one used to bring himself to this dimension between his palms, and once it was ready, surging with black energy, he launched it at Kozaku's face-down. [b](response?)[/b]

[color=#800000]6300 LP[/color]
[color=#800000]49/56 in deck[/color]
[color=#800000]1 monster: Cauis the Shadow Monarch[/color]
[color=#800000]0 set s/t's[/color]

[color=#800000]0 banished[/color]

[Kingdom Xathers]

[font=lucida sans unicode,lucida grande,sans-serif]"That's my cue,"[/font] thought Farkas, who had been awake this whole night. He went over to where Wulf was sleeping on the sofa and gently nudged him awake. [font=lucida sans unicode,lucida grande,sans-serif]"Hey, Wulf, get up,"[/font] Farkas whispered. [font=lucida sans unicode,lucida grande,sans-serif]"I'm about to wake up Wolfram."[/font]

[font=times new roman,times,serif]"... mmmkay...,"[/font] mumbled a half-asleep Wulf as he got up from the sofa and stretched, yawning.

As soon as he felt that Wulf was mostly awake, Farkas set into motion "Operation Alarm"; breathing in deeply, he inhaled as much air as his lungs would allow, then, for dramatic effect, held it in for a few seconds, until... ... ...

[size=8][font=lucida sans unicode,lucida grande,sans-serif][i][b]"AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"[/b][/i][/font][/size]

[font=lucida sans unicode,lucida grande,sans-serif][font=arial,helvetica,sans-serif]Farkas let loose a howling scream at the top of his lungs, causing Wolfram to practically catapult himself from his resting position in bed and land with a [i]"WHUMP!"[/i] onto the floor. [color=#808080]"AACK!!! Really, Farkas?!! I told you NOT to do that--!!"[/color][/font][/font]

[font=lucida sans unicode,lucida grande,sans-serif][font=arial,helvetica,sans-serif][font=lucida sans unicode,lucida grande,sans-serif]""--except if it was really necessary". I know,"[/font] Farkas replied. [font=lucida sans unicode,lucida grande,sans-serif]"Trust me, it was totally necessary; you have about an hour to get ready to head out to Hotel Omega, and you've already wasted about five minutes."[/font][/font][/font]

[font=lucida sans unicode,lucida grande,sans-serif][font=arial,helvetica,sans-serif][color=#808080]"Oh, for the love of--!!"[/color] Wolfram began running around his room frantically, trying to get his outfit together for the Press Meeting; within two minutes, he had all of his pieces on, despite them being put on rather haphazardously (he actually managed to slip a sock over one of his shoes, among other things). After this was pointed out by Wulf and Farkas, Wolfram took an extra three minutes to correct this mistake.[/font][/font]

[font=lucida sans unicode,lucida grande,sans-serif][font=arial,helvetica,sans-serif][color=#808080]"Ah! Good morning, Ms. Brian,"[/color] Wolfram greeted his Girls' Dorm counterpart as he exited his room, fastening the rest of the buttons of his shirt. Strapped to his back was his Duel Disk.[/font][/font]

[Chaotic Angel]

[b][color=#FF0000]"Good. You're awake... I'm gonna have breakfast in the cafeteria... The guy who works in the card shop will be our assistance for the time being. Let's go." [/color][/b]Yuki said, heading to the cafeteria for breakfast. Meanwhile, in the academy cafeteria, Ashley and Torn are already having breakfast, in fact, Torn has already finished. Yuki then comes in and orders her Full English breakfast from the cafeteria assistant, which happens to be the card shop worker. [b][color=#ADD8E6]"Your lunch is on your way, Yuki. Won't be a moment..." [/color][/b]Yuri said, processing Yuki's breakfast orders. In Hotel Omega, Ron puts on his suit ready for the Press Meeting, and heads down to the Conference Room, with cameramen already surrounding him. [b][color=#0000CD]"We do have a while to wait... Plus I didn't even have my breakfast yet... I'll be back..." [/color][/b]said the Chancellor, as he heads down to the hotel restaurant for breakfast.

[Kingdom Xathers]

Wolfram follows Yuki to the cafeteria, still slightly groggy from his surprise wake-up call, A.K.A. Farkas, but still aware of his surroundings. Upon seeing the cafeteria assistant, who was also the card shop owner, Wolfram became a bit hesitant to get closer to the counter, having remembered what happened the last time Wolfram saw him (which involved two feuding brothers and a knife).

[color=#8b4513]"Ah, so you're Wolfram,"[/color] said a voice behind him. Wolfram nearly hopped out of his skin, not only at the sudden greeting, but because of the size of the individual who, for all Wolfram knew, had silently appeared out of nowhere. [color=#8b4513]"Oops! Sorry, didn't mean to scare you."[/color]

[color=#808080]"Th-that's fine,"[/color] Wolfram replied as soon as his heart returned to its regular pace. He turned to look at the individual in question, a towering, muscular, bronze-skinned man with tribal tattoos running down the length of his right arm. The man was wearing simple, stone-washed jeans and a black graphic t-shirt that advertised the all-female alternative rock band known as the "Howlin' Harpies". [color=#808080]"... I'm sorry," [/color]Wolfram continued after his brief gawking at the man,[color=#808080] "but... do I know you from somewhere...?"[/color] He quickly added, [color=#808080]"Oh!, that's right, I saw you with that Felix fellow the other day."[/color]

[color=#8b4513]"That's right, I was there yesterday,"[/color] said the man, offering Wolfram a handshake. [color=#8b4513]"William Hartford is the name, substituting is... well, it's what they've got me doing here at the Academy,"[/color] he concluded with a slight chuckle at having subverted what would have been a rhyme.

[color=#808080]"I see,"[/color] Wolfram said as he shook William's hand. [color=#808080]"I'm Wolfram Collingwood, though it seems the staff here has taken to calling me "Wolf"... not that I actually used to that, yet, but...,"[/color] he said, trailing off with a dry laugh.

[color=#8b4513]"No problem,"[/color] William said to the Slifer Boys' Dorm Head. [color=#8b4513]"I think I'd prefer calling you "Wolfram", anyway. Seems more natural that way."[/color]

Wolfram nodded, thankful that at least one person at the Academy won't be associating him to wolves on a daily basis. [color=#808080]"Anyways, I... should get something to eat,"[/color] Wolfram said. [color=#808080]"I have to attend an important meeting soon, and I suppose I'll need all the strength I can get."[/color]

William nodded, [color=#8b4513]"Sure, go on ahead. I'll see ya around, Wolfram."[/color] With that, William left the cafeteria, taking with him a small brown paper bag that seemed even smaller in the hands of the 7-foot-something tall substitute teacher.

[color=#808080]"... wait... how did he know of my name beforehand...?"[/color] Wolfram thought to himself, realizing that William had said it in his greeting. His train of thought was soon broken by the rumbling of his stomach. [color=#808080]"Ugh... okay, breakfast first,"[/color] he said to himself before finally approaching the counter. [color=#808080]"Let's see... I'll have a bagel, an apple and a coffee, cream with one sugar."[/color]

[Chaotic Angel]

[b][color=#ADD8E6]"Right, coming up, Mr. Collingwood!" [/color][/b]Yuri said, holding Yuki's English Breakfast in one hand, and a restaurant pad in the other. As soon as Yuri hands Yuki her breakfast, he began processing Wolfram's orders, taking out a bagel from the basket, then cutting it up before he got some butter to come with the bagel. Then he helped himself with an apple off the basket and placed an empty mug below the coffee machine and starts processing the coffee. Yuri then grabbed a saucer from the dishwasher, before placing the bagel and the butter on it, alongside the apple and giving it to Wolfram. [b][color=#ADD8E6]"Here you are, sir! Your coffee's on your way!" [/color][/b]he said, grabbing the coffee from the coffee machine and placing two sugar cubes beside it on another saucer with a teaspoon on the coffee, so Wolfram can help himself with the coffee mixing later on. Yuri then gave the coffee mug to Wolfram, finishing his orders. [b][color=#FF0000]"Hey! Bastard! I haven't got a knife and fork!" [/color][/b]Yuki shouted, impolitely. [b][color=#ADD8E6]"Oh, I'm ever so sorry..." [/color][/b]Yuri said, apologising to Yuki and giving her a knife and a fork in advance, before heading back to the kitchen behind the counter.

[宇佐見 蓮子@C94]

[color=#000000]Kozaku saw Hellren summoning Caius and using it to banish his face-down. [/color][color=#0000FF]"Oh, well. I activate the effect of my face-down card, Jar Of Greed. This card allows me to draw one card from my deck, free of charge." [/color][color=#000000]The face-down card that was about to be taken away by Caius turned into small crimson jar with a wicked grin. The jar then disappears completely after Kozaku draws his card. [/color][color=#0000FF][i]"Finally! My ace is here!" [/i][/color]Kozaku silently thought to himself after drawing the card. [color=#0000FF]"You're not a very bad duelist after all.

[color=#800000]"A 'Jar of Greed'?" [/color]Seems Caius' ability to remove a card from play was rendered almost useless, asides from letting Hellren know his opponent has a clear field other than a single monster. Activating the card, his opponent drew from his deck.

[color=#0000FF]"You're not a very bad duelist after all. I've given you my respect, and the praise doesn't get any higher than that."[/color]

[color=#800000]"Well, I don't know about that, but thanks. You're pretty alright yourself, especially with those custom cards. It's too bad I'm not dueling with my own custom deck." [/color]Saying this Hellren looked over his hand. Nothing surprising can be done with it now. [color=#800000]"I'll enter my Battle Phase! Caius! Attack his 'Reborn Tengu'! Force out the last of 'em!" [/color]The Shadow Monarch made an eerie sound of approval and brought his palm before his face. It ebbed a purple haze which condensed into a dark aura. Slashing forward, multiple tears of our dimension's space razed their way towards the Tengu. [b](response? if not ->) [/b][Caius' 2400 ATK - Reborn Tengu's 1700 ATK = 700 damage] [Kozaku's 8000 LP - 700 = 6300 LP]

Three minutes later, and Yuki finishes her breakfast and pulls out 50DP from her pocket and leaves it on the table, before getting up and heads for the garage. Ashley and Elisha both did the same, paying different amounts of DP as they left the table. Meanwhile, a the Gold Academy garage, Yuki cleans up her Duel Runner, as well as Ron's. [b][color=#FF0000]"Ugh, some parts are hard to clean off..." [/color][/b]she groaned to herself, before Torn enters the scene, testing her Duel Runner, which broke down last minute. [b][color=#B22222]"Ahhh Damn! How is that possible!" [/color][/b]Torn shouted, in rage. [b][color=#B22222]"Never mind... I'll push it to the mechanics down the road from here... I'm guessing I'll have to use Ron's Duel Runner..." [/color][/b]she continued, not believing that her Duel Runner broke down 45 minutes before she had to leave for the Press Meeting. [b][color=#B22222]"Mrs. Brian? Do you have the keys to Ron's---" [/color][/b]she asked, naïvely.[b][color=#FF0000] "You obviously don't need keys for this sh*t... They're keyless Duel Runners..." [/color][/b]Yuki explained, cleaning u the last patches of her Duel Runner, before moving on to cleaning up Ron's Duel Runner.

Chris had not slept anything that night. He had been sitting in his room staring blindly out the window. When morning finally arrived, [color=#0000cd]"Hello, Dorm Heads, this is Chancellor Ron. Chris' car will be arriving in about an hour. Have breakfast in the cafeteria, then prepare for the meeting ahead of you. All but Chris are using Duel Runners to get to the hotel. More importantly, avoid all police officers. I'm gonna hang up now. You got an hour." [/color]Chris jumped into the shower and started to redressed when Elisha opened the door [color=#00ffff]"Wake up, lazy dumbass! Press Meeting's today, if you have forgotten! We only have an hour left until your car arrives!"[/color] He didn't answer her, just went back to buttoning his shirt and putting on his Gold Academy teacher robe, he then went past Elisha and exited the room. He walked quietly down the hallway with his hands in his pockets, keeping his eyes on the floor. He reached the cafeteria and saw that almost all the other teachers were already there. He went up to the counter, "One coffee, black, and a grilled cheese sandwich."

[Chaotic Angel]

[b][color=#ADD8E6]"Oh? Mr. Varg? Why the short face...?" [/color][/b]Yuri asked, as he processes Chris' orders. He grabbed two slices of bread, and placed grated cheese on one of them, before he put both breads on the grill for five minutes. He then heads for the coffee machine and prepares Chris' black coffee. After all that, he grabbed a tomato and some lettuce, sliced the tomato and and prepares the lettuce, before letting the grilled cheese out of the grill and placed the lettuce and the tomato on top of the empty, toasted bread before stacking them with the toasted bread with cheese on it. Then Yuri grabs a toothpick from the counter and stabs it in the sandwich before serving it to Chris with his black coffee and two cubes of sugar. [b][color=#ADD8E6]"Lighten up, sir! You can't keep on like that everyday! Enjoy your breakfast!" [/color][/b]he encouraged, before leaving the counter and shutting the doors serving the food until 8am, when everyone else wakes up and the full-time cafeteria assistant arrives. Yuri only serves café customers during midnight on a special occasion.

Chris ignored the comments from the person who served him the food, he just dropped 50 DPs on the counter and sat down at a nearby table. In reality he didn't wanna eat at all, but its was necessary to keep his strenght, and especially for this day. He reluctantly gobbled the sandwich and the coffee, and walked out of the cafeteria, not even as much as glancing at the other teachers. He hoped the press conference wouldn't take too long, because during the night he had made some serious thinking. He had waited for this moment for so long and he was not gonna let it slip, not again. He had planned this, over and over, but first he had to find the others, wherever they may be.

---A while later, 4:25am---

By now, Elisha, Torn, Ashley and Yuki are in the garage, and on their Duel Runners, waiting for Chris' car to arrive. They started their Duel Runners and placed their Duel Disks on them, in preparation for any nasty surprises an guns are provided by Ashley in case anyone tries to slow them down. Then, Ron's limo arrived three minutes later, explaining the briefing of the meeting. [color=#0000CD][b]"Okay, Heads of Dorm... Actually, where the hell's Wolfram and Chris? I demanded them not to waste any more time than this! Ugh, fine." [/b][/color]Ron said, waiting for Wolfram and Chris to arrive. [b][color=#0000CD]"As soon as you get to my hotel, you will be in front of the camera and we will expain the reopening of this academy. Do NOT f*ck it up for me, or else you're screwed!" [/color][/b]Ron concluded, getting back on his limo, then opening the window on his left side, explaining more of the meeting. [b][color=#0000CD]"Follow my limo at all times. Hold all chasers off as soon as you see them. Ashley, you've got guns with you... There should be about six..." [/color][/b]Ron said, with Ashley counting all the guns. [b][color=#D3D3D3]"Yep. There's six." [/color][/b]Ashley replied. [b][color=#0000CD]"Actually, gimme one of them. I might need to shoot some down." [/color][/b]Ron said, asking Ashley to hand over one of the guns in his rucksack. [b][color=#0000CD]"I'll see you at the meeting... If you get lost at any time, call my PDA... We'll wait for those two bastards a little longer..." [/color][/b]he said, shutting the window in his limo and just sat there, waiting.

Chris had gone back to his room to fetch his Duel Disk and deck. He wanted to be prepared for anything just in case. After he had put his Duel Disk into his rucksack he began rummaging thru his desk drawers, and he pulled out his deck. He shuffled it a bit, until he stopped at one card. He smiled a bit as he looked at it, then put the deck into the rucksack with the Duel Disk and walked out of the room towards the garage where the other teachers were probably waiting for him. As he was walking, he suddenly felt something strange, a strange pain coming from inside him, as if something was trying to get out. He leaned against the wall and grasped his forehead. He managed to subdue the pain and regained his composure, continuing to the garage. As he entered the garage, he glanced at the other teachers straddling their Duel Runners and then at the limo who stod parked at the opening.

Chris' car then arrives for the Head of Ra Yellow Boys himself, then all we had to do, is wait for Wolfram. Ron opened his limo window and looked at Chris, [b][color=#0000CD]"You look a bit odd? Ahh... The Dark Signer curse is starting to take effect..." [/color][/b]he explained, as he waited for Wolfram patiently, knowing that he is on his way to the garage. [b][color=#0000CD]"I'll be setting off first, if you don't mind... Be there before 6am..." [/color][/b]Ron said, setting off to Hotel Omega, as Yuki and Torn both followed on. Ashley waited alongside Chris and his car for Wolfram. [color=#D3D3D3][b]"There's honestly not a thing to worry about here... Just pull those feelings aside and prepare yourself for the meeting ahead. Once that's over, you can rest until class begins next week..." [/b][/color]Ashley said, getting on his Duel Runner, ready to set off as soon as Wolfram arrives. Meanwhile, just across the street, police officers are about to close in. [b][color=#0000CD]"Avoid them the best you can, ladies!" [/color][/b]Ron ordered, telling his driver to drive slightly faster. Torn however, drifted Ron's Duel Runner off to block the road and subdued the oncoming police officers before getting back on and following Ron's limo just ahead.
