Chapter Start
"DUEL!/Duel..." Okita/Sho exclaimed, the latter with less enthusiasm in his voice. Their duel disks sparked alive, five cards in their hand.
"I-I'll go first..." Sho stated, drawing a sixth card. "I'll s-start by summoning Cycroid in attack position!" he exclaimed, placing one of his cards horizontally on his device. Half a second later, a strange creature resembling a bike with brown hands at the handle and a lone eye in front appeared.
#Cycroid [Machine/Earth] lvl: 3#
#Atk/Def: 800/1000#
"I'll also set t-two cards and end my turn!" Sho finished, two face-down cards appearing right behind Cycroid.
"My turn, draw!" Okita called out, drawing a card from the top of his deck. "I'll start by activating Mystical Space Typhoon from my hand, which allows me to destroy one Spell or Trap card on the field, and I choose... that one!" he said, pointing toward the second Trap card on Sho's side of the field. The rectangular illusionary image of the card suddenly had, as the name implied, a typhoon sprout up and shoot towards Sho's Trap card, flipping the card up and revealing a Trap Hole was destroyed. "Next, I summon Warrior Lady of the Wasteland to the Field in attack position!" A woman dressed in a mixture of a cowboy and leather armor outfit materialized in front of Okita.
#Warrior Lady of the Wasteland [Warrior/Earth] lvl: 4#
#Atk/Def: 1100/1200#
"Next, Warrior Lady of the Wasteland! Attack Cycroid!" Okita yelled. The medieval cowgirl leapt forward, drawing the sword from her back and slashing at Cycroid, causing the bike-like creature to burst into a shower of particles. "I'll set one card and end my turn! You're up!"
#Okita - 4000#

#Sho - 3700#

"D-Draw!" Sho said as he drew another card from his deck, his eyes widened slightly as he felt his luck changing. "I summon Patroid in attack position!" Similar to the first creature he summoned, Patroid was a personified police car-like creature.
#Patroid [Machine/Earth] lvl: 4#
#Atk/Def: 1200/1200#
"Patroid! Attack Warrior Lady of the Wasteland!" Sho exclaimed, his monster dashing forward and slamming into Okita's own, causing the latter monster to explode into particles that quickly dissipated.
"I activate Warrior Lady of the Wasteland's effect! Since it was destroyed as a result of battle, I get to Special Summon one Earth Warrior-Type monster with an Atk of 1500 or less in face-up Attack Position from my Deck to my side of the Field! And I choose The Six Samurai - Yariza!" Okita yelled, a dark blue armored samurai wielding a naginata appearing on the Field seconds later.
#The Six Samurai - Yariza [Warrior/Earth] lvl: 3#
#Atk/Def: 1000/500#
"I end my turn..." Sho stated.
#Okita - 3900#
#The Six Samurai - Yariza#

"Draw!" Okita said. "I'll start by activating my facedown card, Reckless Greed, which allows me to draw two cards at the cost of skipping my next two Draw Phases!" With that, he added two more cards to his hand and his facedown card, now face-up, vanished into his Graveyard. "Next! I activate Reinforcement of the Army, allowing me to add one Level 4 or lower Warrior-Type monster from my Deck to my hand! I'll pick The Six Samurai - Nisashi!" Said card was added to his hand before the Deck was shuffled. "I summon The Six Samurai - Nisashi to the field in attack position!" A green armored samurai holding two katanas appeared in a flash of light.
#The Six Samurai - Nisashi [Warrior/Wind] lvl: 4#
#Atk/Def: 1400/700#
"Oh man..." Sho muttered.
"Nisashi! Attack Sho's Patroid!" Okita exclaimed, his green samurai dashing forward with an X-slash at Patroid, causing the police car monster to burst and vanish. "And with Nisashi's effect, he can attack twice during the same Battle Phase! So Nisashi, Yariza! Attack Sho directly!"
"Ahhh!" Sho cried out. The game in reality presented no physical pain (most of the time) to the duelers, but it still caused the brain to receive signals similar to phantom pains.
"And with that, I end my turn!" Okita stated.
#Okita - 3900#

"Wow... Sho is really getting beat out there..." Judai muttered. "Sho! Don't give up! Give it your all!"
"Hai, aniki!" Sho exclaimed, his confidence boosted by the Kuriboh head's words of encouragement. "Draw!" he said, drawing another card from his deck. "I activate the Spell card, Pot of Greed, allowing me to draw two cards from my deck!" The light blue haired Slifer Red drew two more cards and looked them over. "Next, I'll play the Spell card Polymerization! I fuse Steamroid and Gyroid from my hand to summon Steam Gyroid!" A creature that seemed like a mixture between a steam train and a gyro helicopter appeared on Sho's side of the field, looming over Okita's two monsters.
#Steam Gyroid [Machine/Earth] lvl: 6#
#Atk/Def: 2200/1600#
"Steam Gyroid! Attack his The Six Samurai - Yariza!" Sho yelled, pointing towards the unfortunate dark blue armored samurai monster.
"Ghh!" Okita grunted, covering his face slightly when the particles exploded towards him.
"I end my turn!" Sho stated.
#Okita - 2700#

"My turn! I'll start by activating the Spell card Magical Mallet from my hand, allowing me to add any number of cards from my hand to my Deck, shuffle, and then draw the same number of cards that I added!" Okita stated, adding all four of the cards remaining in his hand to his Deck before shuffling and re-drawing four cards. 'Okay, let's see... Mystic Plasma Zone... Allure Queen LV3... Rush Recklessly... and-' the white haired duelist did a double take at the sight of his fourth card. "Nani?! I don't remember adding this to my deck!"
"O-Okita-san... are you okay?" Sho called out.
"Eh... Yeah! I'm fine... I guess..." Okita said dismissively. "First, I'll start by playing the Field Spell card Mystic Plasma Zone, which increased the Atk of all Dark monsters by 500 points and decreases their Def by 400 points!" The very landscape around the trio of Slifer Reds morphed from the dirt path into a large field with dark clouds, lightning, and mountains surrounding them.
"Pick me! Pick me!"
"No! Pick me! I can win the Duel for you~"
"We can both win the Duel for him, you baka!"
"But I can do it better, faster, and easier~"
Okita blinked confusingly when he heard the two voices, causing him to stare down at his Allure Queen LV3 and his fourth card.
"I sacrifice The Six Samurai - Nisashi to summon forth..." Okita started, pausing for dramatic effect.
"Dark Magician Girl!"
"DARK MAGICIAN GIRL?!" was the collective cries that came from both Sho and Judai as the world-renowned, skimpy-dressed busty blond Spellcaster-Type monster appeared on Okita's side of the field.
"Yay! He chose me~" Okita swore he could hear the delicate female voice coming from Dark Magician Girl, but dismissed it as hallucinations.
"And with the effect of Mystic Plasma Zone, her Atk increases and her Def decreases!"
#Dark Magician Girl [Spellcaster/Dark] lvl: 6#
#Atk/Def: 2000/1700 - 2500/1300#
"Next, I activate the Spell card Rush Recklessly, which increases the Atk points of any monster of my choosing by 700! And I choose Dark Magician Girl!" Okita exclaimed, his monster's Atk increasing from 2500 to 3200.
"Uh oh." Sho said meekly.
"Dark Magician Girl! Attack Steam Gyroid!" Okita yelled, the blond Spellcaster leaping upward and slamming her rod into the vehicle-based monster, giving a playful wink as she did so.
"I activate my facedown card, Cyber Repairer! Any Machine-Type monster I control cannot be destroyed by battle for this turn, but you get to draw one card in exchange!" Sho exclaimed, his facedown card flipping up moments before Dark Magician Girl struck Steam Gyroid, causing a large explosion of smoke to cover the area. When the smoke died down, Dark Magician Girl and Steam Gyroid remained on the field.
"Tch, fine... I set one card facedown and end my turn." Okita conceded.

"Alright... Draw-!" "Not so fast, Sho! I activate my facedown card! Battle Mania!" Okita interrupted, flipping his facedown card up. "Battle Mania forces all your monsters to remain in attack position!"
"W-What?!" Sho cried out.
"But that's not all! On top of that, all monsters you currently control must attack this turn!" Okita exclaimed.
"Aw man..." Sho mumbled, watching his Steam Gyroid being forced to dash towards the stronger Dark Magician Girl.
#Okita - 2700#
#Sho - 0000#
"Good game, Sho." Okita said, walking over to the light blue haired boy and extending his hand.
"Y-Yeah... I guess it was..." Sho said halfheartedly, shaking the extended hand.
"Dude! How did you get ahold of Dark Magician Girl?! I thought they didn't make any copies of those anymore!" Judai exclaimed, running up to his fellow Slifer Reds.
"Yeah, that's a good question." Sho added, blushing a little at the thought of the blond Spellcaster.
"I honestly don't know myself..." Okita mumbled, holding the very card they were talking about up to his face.
"Now I really wanna duel you!" Judai stated, grinning like a madman as he spoke.
"... Maybe another time. Right now... I've got some things to think about..." Okita stated before he began to walk away. "See you guys around!"
"Ja ne!"
-From Humble Beginnings-
"Okita-san? What are you doing here? Classes don't end for another hour and a half." Daitokuji asked, having taught his alchemy class for the day and left to relax at the Slifer Red dorm.
"Daitokuji-sensei, I need your help." Okita stated. "Do you know about anything... supernatural with Duel Monsters?"
"Ah... what do you mean by that?" Daitokuji questioned, sweating a little at the question. The cat loving man was confused when Okita pulled out a single card. "What the..."
"Dark Magician Girl." Okita replied, holding up the card for Daitokuji to examine. "A few days ago, I opened up a pack of five cards and found this."
"It... It's not a fake! It's legitimate!" Daitokuji exclaimed.
"My Deck is Warrior-Type themed, so I just set the card aside, left it untouched." Okita said. "Yet somehow it ended up in my Deck. I don't have any roommates so that rules out the possibility of my Deck being tampered with by a fellow student."
"Could you possibly sleep walk?" Daitokuji questioned.
"No, I've never sleep walked." Okita retorted. "And another thing... I heard these... voices."
"Voices?"
"Yeah, during a duel with Sho, I could swear I heard voices coming from... somewhere, I don't know. And then I thought one of the voices was Dark Magician Girl."
"..."
"Daitokuji-sensei?"
"Come with me, Okita-san." Daitokuji said, his cheery expression replaced by seriousness.
"Where are we going?"
"To the source of this all. I need to get a few things as well."
"What-"
-From Humble Beginnings-
"-the fuck?!" Okita comically exclaimed.
"Here we are." Daitokuji stated. The alchemy teacher had lead him back to the point of origin, but...
"Why are we inside my room?!"
"You said that the card mysteriously appeared in your Deck, and that you got it from a card pack a few days ago, ne? Well whatever happened, it happened here." Daitokuji explained. "Now help me with placing and lighting these séance candles."
"Séance candles? Aren't those for summoning the dead or something?" Okita questioned.
"Yes, but they work equally well with Duel Spirits." Daitokuji retorted, the duo settling into silence as they set up the candles.
"Okay... now what?"
"Now... I leave. Take this matchbox, leave the room lights off, and try not to burn the building down."
"Wait! You're just gonna leave? I don't know how to perform a séance!"
"But this isn't a séance."
"Then why the séance candles?!"
"Because you'll be summoning a Duel Spirit."
"Dead spirit, Duel Spirit, you said they work the same?! Come to think of it, why do you have séance candles in the first place?!"
"Well, I'll be off! Good luck!"
"YOU DIDN'T ANSWER MY QUESTION!"
"*Slam*!" Daitokuji left without saying anything else, leaving the white haired Slifer Red in his room with a bunch of unlit candles and the lights shut off.
"... Dammit." Okita muttered, lighting a match and beginning to light all the candles.
Amused light blue orbs watched the white haired duelist accidentally burn himself, spouting out curses that would make a novice sailor blush.
"Alright... how to do this..." Okita mumbled. "Umm... I call upon the Duel Spirits from beyond this mortal, uhh... realm, present right now to reveal their presence... presences?"
"..." Dark Magician Girl materialized atop the top bunk bed, her delicate arms propping her head up as she stared at Okita, a mischievous grin present on her face.
"Umm... Show yourself! Uhh... please?" Okita questioned.
"All you had to do was say please~" Okita jumped back in surprise at the feminine voice that came from behind him. He was even more surprised when he was tackled to the ground, feeling something soft pressing against his back.
"Dammit DMG! We aren't supposed to reveal our presences to him!"
"Ah lighten up, Allie, he was going to find out sooner or later."
"Nisashi-san is right."
"See? Even the sammies agree with me~"
"Please don't ever call us that again."
"What the fuck is going on?!" Okita comically yelled, turning his body so that he was on his back, finding four new people inside his room, two males and two females, all of whom the white haired Duelist recognized immediately. The first woman was a bombshell that stood at 5'4" with golden blond hair that went halfway down her back, light blue eyes. a perfect hourglass figure, and flawless light skin. Her outfit left little for the imagination, consisting of a blue-and-pink themed tabard-like garment that connected to a shoulderless shoulder cape and a pink miniskirt, a blue-and-pink sorceress hat, wrist bracers and boots of the same coloration, and a small rod in her hands.
The second woman was a slightly shorter than the first, standing at 5'2" in height with light brown hair, emerald green eyes, pink lipstick, fair skin, and a smaller bust size compared to her blond companion, something that she more than made up for with her plump rear. She wore a modest attire, a sleeveless black and dark red dress that ended down at her feet, a red collar with silver metal, a black and red cap, black opera gloves, and a golden scepter in her hands adorned with emeralds and rubies.
The third person, the first man, was standing at 6'2" with a muscular build and obsidian black eyes, the rest of his body being concealed by his armor.
And finally, the second man and last person in his room was an extremely muscular man that stood at 6'5" with purple hair poking out of his helmet and charcoal black eyes.
Dark Magician Girl, Allure Queen LV3, The Six Samurai - Yariza, and The Six Samurai - Nisashi. Every single person present Okita recognized from the cards in his Deck, but that wasn't what freaked him out.
No, what freaked Okita out even more was the fact that the first woman, the blond bombshell, was straddling him, giving him a clear view of her cleavage.
"Hi there! We're-" "*Thud*!" "-aaannndd he fainted..."
Chapter End
-Omake, Daitokuji's Secret-
'Hmm... Who do I know that could help me with... something like this?' Okita mentally questioned as he walked aimlessly down the dirt path, having just gone separate ways from Sho and Judai. Somehow, his feet had guided him towards a familiar worn down building. 'Aha! Maybe Daitokuji-sensei can help me!'
"Our patience is wearing thin, Amnael."
"Don't worry, just a little more time. I need to assess how much of a threat the new students are to our cause." Daitokuji stated, dressed in a dark garb with a grey cape and his eyes open, revealing their crimson red color as he talked to the mysterious dark shadow.
"I will be dispatching two of our members to go into hiding at the school grounds."
"Hai. Soon... our plan will be set in motion, soon I will create-"
"Daitokuji-sensei!"
"-the lesson plan for next week!" Daitokuji exclaimed, closing his eyes and dispersing the dark shadow before Okita could notice.
"Ano, sensei? What are you... wearing?"
"It's, uhh... it's cosplay! Yeah! Cosplay!"
"... Please don't tell anyone."
