Chapter 2
Meeting and a Beating: Duel without Vindication.

“Alright. Got my front page story: Rich boy plays trading cards!” Vicky said as she finished her recording of Haku’s duel. “Now to see what he’ll pay for this not to hit the school paper.” Vicky said as she ejected the tape and strutted into the abandoned room where Haku won his first duel of the day against Famous, a 26 year old man convinced into dressing up as a kid to earn 1,000 dollars to beat Haku (which he couldn’t).
“Who’s that Haku, one of your friends?” Famous asked, not crying anymore. Famous decided to turn over a new leaf, and a new wardrobe too. He now pledged his allegiance to Haku, for being superior to him in their duel.
“Nope…In fact, I’ve never seen her before.” Haku sounded completely clueless.
“I’m the greatest high school reporter…ever! And now Mr. Rich boy, I’ve caught you on tape playing a dorky little card game. I’ll smash the tape if you pay me.” Vicky said as she tried to make a fortune.
“The hell if you get a dime from me. I don’t care if the whole world knows…actually I do care, Interview me and post it on the internet, I’d also like to make a shout-out to everyone out there who wants to duel me…I’ll take you all on!” Haku said with a sense of cockiness.
“ Boss…Spoken like a true duelist!” Famous said as he began to tear up.
“What, oh yeah, I guess that was pretty cool wasn’t it?” Haku said.
“DON’T FORGET ABOUT ME!!!” Vicky turned blood red from being ignored.
While Haku was distracted by Icky Vicky, the lizard dude from chapter one snuck in to the room. He rolled up into a ball and rolled over into the closet.
“Yo, chillax H-man we don’t need you too cocky. You don’t need to put a video like that on the net.” Al said trying to calm Haku down. Al knew that if a video of the three of them skipping class got out they could be in serious trouble, but he found out a way to use this to his advantage. “Yo Vicky, you recorded it, right…so that means if you release it, everyone will know you skipped class. So lets just destroy the tape right now.”
“You’re right, must be my blonde highlights sinking in. Here Haku, why don’t you destroy it?” She handed the tape to Haku as he removed the duel-disk and tossed it near the closet.
“And that’s the last we’ll see of that tape!” Haku said as he smashed it. While everyone was distracted, Lizard boy snuck out of the closet and began tampering with the duel-disk. “Hey, that’s the bell, we gotta get to class for real!” Haku said as he rushed out he door grabbing his duel-disk in a hurry, pulling out the cards and putting them in his deck holster. He took the disk to Al’s locker and shoved it in. The gang headed down the stairs to their next class which they conveniently had with the lizard dude and Mr. Tattered hoodie.
“Ok, I distracted them for you Zil. Now give me my P-Pod.” Vicky said to the Lizard man.
“Fine, you did a good job hottie!” He handed her the P-Pod mp3 player, smacked her a** and rolled out of the class.
“You pervy b*****d, Zil!!!” Vicky yelled as Zil bounced down the stairs. If you haven’t figured it out, Zil (lizard dude) and Icky Vicky work together.
“Buehler? Is Buehler here? Mr. Buehler?” the Substitute teacher asked. Of course he was referring to the tattered hoodie dude-The one that Haku, Al, and Famous have class with.
“I’m here…Late, but here.” Buehler was the type of guy to do stuff that pissed people off to a point worse than kidney stones, then acting like a d**k later. He was cocky, possibly cockier than Haku. (nearly impossible.) “Sorry Mr. Substitute. I shouldn’t have been talking to that really hot band girl that Haku likes should I?” he said trying to piss Haku off.
“Destiny will never love you, queer-bate!” Al yelled in Haku’s defense. Ya see, Haku likes this one girl who goes by Destiny. Buehler lies a lot and makes up stories of him being popular with girls. “You are a freaking liar!”
“No, maahn, for real, I’m serious she was talking to me.” Buehler tried to brag.
“That doesn’t mean she likes you moron!” Haku said.
“Talking to me, Liking me, what’s the demfrance?” Buehler asked.
“Excuse me, did you just say damn France? What did France do to you faggy-boy?” Al tormented Buehler with his quick wit and sharp tongue.
“Lets throw down now then Mr. Fancy Brain.” Buehler said, directing the challenge to Al, the non-dueler.
“You know I don’t duel,” Al said trying to make up for his lack of skill in card games.
“No problem-o bro, I got your back, or front, or whatever…anyways, I’m your next opponent Beulah.” Haku said, being cocky again.
“You are IGNORANT!!! I’m Buehler, not Beulah. Shuffle. Lets just play a table-top duel, no fancy holograms.” Buehler said.
“Ha ha, you’re afraid of hologram monsters…loser!” Al laughed at Buehler, making him feel reduced in pride. “Oh no holograms make me piss my pants.” Al said imitating Buehler.
“I run an occult/fiend deck, what about you? It’s that Rip-off Hero set isn’t it?” Buehler said to Haku, knowing it would push his buttons. “I’ll keep life points.” He pulled out a binder and wrote their names and 4000 beside each one.
“Fine by me. Draw! Wait a flipping second…when did this card get in here…and this one…beaver warrior. Damn, this isn’t my deck. This looks like the Power of Chaos Starter. Yo Famous, did I grab your cards by mistake?” Haku was confused.
“No, I don’t play with starter decks, Beast-down is the way to go.” Famous replied.
“I guess you didn’t realize Zil swapped out your deck just like I told him to. Oh, I’m so sorry man. Now face my Melchid! Attack!” Buehler said as he placed down a fiend and angrily pointed at a row of empty monsters. Now Haku had 2500 points left. Buehler clicked the pen, scribbled out 4000 under Haku’s name and wrote in 2500. He then turned around to Zil. “Hey Zil, what’s 4000-1500?” He asked.
“You already have it written there. Its twenty-fi…” Zil began to answer, but was interrupted.
“Oh I know its 2500. I already have it written here. Stop making me look stupid Zil!!” He yelled at Zil who within the past 5 minutes rolled into the room. “Well, anyways, without your good cards, I think I can beat you. But I’m not that good so please take it easy on me. Of coarse if you loose you cant have your deck back.”
“DUDE?!? Are you Bipolar?!? Hells no is he gonna take it easy on you!” Al yelled.
