Episode 1.8 - Tag Team Trial
Doctor Crowler is walking through the halls of duel academy ‘Just look at them pathetic Slifers littering the campus like vermin, the hallowed halls of my duel academy are for the elite not the lame, not those slackers Jaden and Azuregos.’
“THOSE SLIFER SLACKERS HAVE MADE A FOOL OF ME LONG ENOUGH,” Crowler yells
The Slifers in the hallway run into the class they were waiting for while Crowler laughs to himself.
“But soon they will pay most dearly for it, soon with what I have planned they will be the fools,” Crowler says not noticing that Chazz was walking towards him.
“Doctor Crowler!” Chazz says getting Crowler’s attention
“Ah Chazz how may I be of service,” Crowler asks calmly
“You can put me in that tag team duel against Jaden and Syrus, that’s how,” Chazz demands
“You!” Crowler replies
“That’s right, this time I know I can beat him and send him packing,” Chazz says confidently
“Sorry but you will be sitting these duels out Chazz,” Crowler says with a smile on his face
“Huh, you mean I can’t even duel against Azuregos and his partner,” Chazz asks Crowler a bit confused
“Yes, that’s what I meant, don’t get me wrong though your skills are admirable, but I am afraid I am not taking any chances on these ones, if Jaden and Azuregos both lose here they will be expelled from the duel academy once and for all, which is why they will be facing some of the greatest tag duelists in the world.” Crowler says as he starts to walk away from Chazz
At the Slifer dorm, Azuregos is sitting in the dining room busy eating while also adding and removing some cards from his deck for the tag team duel, when Rita walked in and sat on the opposite side of the table that Azuregos was eating at.
“Hey, Azuregos you still sorting your deck for the duel?” Rita said as she pulls her deck out of her duel disk and places it on the table.
“Yeah I am just trying to figure out what might work alongside your deck.” Azuregos said as he removed the trap card Wall of Revealing Light from his deck and added the trap card Dragon’s Rebirth to his deck.
“I just figured that I might use a deck that consists mostly of dragons would work, but I don’t think my synchro’s will be any use in this tag duel.
“You might have a point there, plus yeah it might work since my deck also consists of mostly dragons as well.” Rita says as she finishes checking through her deck.
“Well I am mostly wandering who our opponents are since we won’t know what we are up against,” Azuregos says as he finally finishes his deck and puts it in his deck holder while placing the spare cards in his card box.
“Did you add that Life Elementhian Knight to your deck?” Rita asks as Azuregos puts the card box in his backpack.
“Nope, I really just don’t think it should be used in this duel since I still am not sure about it.” Azuregos says as he gets up
“Well that makes sense I guess…” Rita says as the door to the dining area opens and Jaden and Syrus are standing there
“Hey Azuregos, Rita, do you guys think you are ready for the tag duels.” Jaden asks a bit excited
Azuregos nods his head as Rita just shrugged her shoulders.
“Well we might want to get to the duel arena now else we will be late,” Rita says before everyone agrees and they all run off towards the academy.
At the Academy Duel Arena
The tag duels will begin in a few moments and remember these are tests conditions these are sudden expulsion matches
“A tad harsh I’d say” Bastion says a bit annoyed
“No joke,” Alexis says as she approaches Bastion
“Huh” Bastion says as he notices Alexis
“Your Bastion Misawa a friend of Jaden and Azuregos’ right?” Alexis asks Bastion
“I suppose you could say that, and your Alexis Rhodes yes?” Bastion asks Alexis
“Yeah and I am also the reason for why they are in this mess, they were helping me at that abandoned dorm,” Alexis says a bit disappointed
“I see,” Bastion says a bit surprised
“But if there is anyone in need of help it’s them have you heard rumour is that Crowler has arranged for professionals to duel them. Tag team legends, duelists that worked with the creator of duel monsters himself and also participated in the Battle City Tournament.” Alexis says a bit concerned
“Send in the accused” The announcer over the speaker says
Chazz looks to his right and spots the first two come into the arena “Huh”
“The first tag team duelists Timothy Azuregos and Rita Solex and the Second tag team duelists Jaden Yuki and Syrus Truesdale” The announcer says
“Wow the acoustics in here are great,” Jaden says while looking around the arena
“Yeah you think they will count your echo as your tag partner,” Syrus says a bit frightened
“For the last time your my tag partner,” Jaden says to Syrus while rubbing his head
“Yeah Syrus calm down you will do fine,” Azuregos says getting Syrus to at least smile a bit.
“You Slifer slackers it should be me taking you out, but I guess as long as someone does it.” Chazz says angrily while clutching his fist.
“Hey guys look Chumley made it here,” Rita says spotting Chumley
“Just barely,” Syrus says
“Oh come on Syrus at least he showed up,” Azuregos says to Syrus
“Now without further a due let me introduce our two guest tag team duos,” Crowler says getting everyone’s attention
Two people wearing similar outfits but one being green and the other orange perform some flips and land on the other side of Jaden and Syrus.
“The paradox brothers,” Crowler yells before everyone is suddenly silenced as two other people walk into the area wearing robes and walk up onto the arena and stand behind Azuregos and Rita.
“And also welcome Marik Ishtar and Ishizu Ishtar,” Crowler says as the two people remove the hoods over their heads revealing them to everyone and leaving a shocked expression on Azuregos and Rita’s face.
“Oh great you have got to be kidding me,” Azuregos says to Rita who nods in agreement.”
Crowler don’t you think this is a bit much
No not at all Jaden, Syrus and Azuregos broke a big time rule so they should face big time opponents” Crowler argues with Chancellor Shepard, “Besides we can’t send the brothers back now, they have come so far, and the Ishtar family have come all the way from Egypt to participate in this duel.”
“What’s that matter you are paying their travel costs,” Chancellor Shepards says with a grin on his face
Crowler suddenly sweatdrops at this comment
“Jaden, Azuregos I leave this up to you two,” Chancellor Shepard says calmly
“Oh these guys could even beat becoming bold, so there is no way they will be able to beat us,” Jaden says a bit too excited
“I have really wanted to have a chance to versus either Ishizu or Marik ever since hearing about the duels in the Battle City Tournament,” Azuregos says a bit excited and also noticing the smile on Marik’s face.
“Ok duelists prepare for battle; the first tag team battle will be between Azuregos and Rita against Ishizu and Marik.” Crowler announces from the centre of the duel field, “The rules for this tag duel are really quite simple, there is no sharing of strategy, no sharing of advice, and no sharing of any card not already in play, but you may use what is already on your partner’s field understood,”
“Yeah,” Azuregos and Rita say calmly
“Sure,” Marik and Ishizu say
“Then duel,” Crowler says a bit excited as he jumps off the duel field
"Alright my draw," Azuregos said as he drew a card.
