Jesse’s
Decision: Day 1
“...And now you know what card
effects affects you and your opponent as well...” said Dr. Vellian Crowler as
he taught the class about card effects.
But Jesse was just too distracted to
listen to the lecture. Every hour, minute and second, he would always think of
his response to darkness.
“What should I say?”
“I want to see him but, breaking a
promise would be-”
“Jesse!!” shouted Dr. Crowler as he
was trying to get his attention.
“Didn’t you hear me?! I said; give
me an example of a card that affects the whole field besides field spells...”
“Umm... Gravity Bind...?”
“That is correct!!” said Crowler as
the bell rang for the sign of dismissal.
His friends thought that there was
something wrong with him, Jesse. He would always make a fuss over his answers,
like they were jokes; he would ignore and sleep the class, like Jaden, but why?
Wasn’t he the Jesse that they met before? There was something bothering him...
“It’s obvious really, he’s keeping a
secret...” grumbled Chazz
“But shouldn’t he tell us, I mean,
were his friends aren’t we?” wondered Alexis
“I don’t get it but I think one of
our troops need some time alone...” suggested Hassleberry
“He was like that since yesterday,
the day that ‘big bro’ (meaning Jaden) defeated Darkness, could that have
something to do with it?” asked the curious Syrus
“Let detective Chazz solve the
case!!”
“Oh will you keep your mouth shut sarge,
you know you’re no good at this stuff.”
“Listen ‘Huckleberry’ ‘The Chazz’
already solved a case before, isn’t that right Alexis, Syrus?”
“He’s right, I hate to admit it but
he did, back then when we fought the ‘Shadow Rider’ named ‘Don Zaloog’.”
“Yeah, big bro and I were
mesmerized, but that was a case of ‘stealing’, how are you gonna make a friend
admit what’s on his mind?”
“‘The Chazz’ says we need clues...”
“Clues, what are you talking about,
speak up private?”
“Every case has clues, Jesse’s must
have seen something, and we need to see that too, and we start by finding
clues…”
“Okay! Chazz, what you said actually
made sense!!”
“Ahh, a praise coming from my dear
Alexis…”
“You better shut up before I take
back everything I said…”
“Erm… okay…!”
And so they headed out of their
classroom…
“The big event yesterday was the
banishing of ‘Darkness’ right? And I suppose that would be the academy main
gate…”
“Good idea Syrus!!”
Running down the hallways in search
of clues, they headed out of Duel Academy, wandering around, searching for
clues…
“Hey guys, look what I’ve found!!”
“What is it private Alexis?!”
“Look!! Isn’t the…”
“Polymerization?! Isn’t this big
bro’s…?”
“Jaden would never misplace his
cards; he cares for them too much…”
“Private Chazz is right, for once!!”
“For once?! You watch your mouth if
you know what’s good for ya...”
“Are you trying to pick up a fight
soldier?!”
“Boys are so immature... look, if
you guys want anything done, stop your fighting and let’s head to the red dorm,
there, is where Jaden usually stays, let’s ask him about what happened and why
he had left his cards uncared for...”
“C’mon, I’m so worried; we have to
go to big bro...”
“Tsk, fine, but I’m not done with
you yet ‘Huckleberry’”
“You talk too much private...”
Running through the forest towards
Slifer Red Dorm, they...
“Now look at what you’ve done
soldier!! Now we’re back to where we started!!”
“It’s not like it’s my fault...”
“Zip it Chazz, it’s getting dark,
let’s go back, we could ask him tomorrow...”
“Alexis is right... even I don’t
like the dark...”
Meanwhile in Slifer Red, in a locked
room where Jaden and Jesse lies...
“Jaden, tomorrow’s gonna be day two
until my final decision... and I...”
“I haven’t even made up my mind
yet...”
