So for those of you who came here off my last story... well, let's be honest, it wasn't very good. I might restart it, but for now I'll focus on this one and see what happens.

This story takes place during season one of Yu Gi Oh GX, and begins soon after Chazz leaves.

Chapter 1
The Destined Duellist

Jessica "Jessa" Ashton looked out the window of the plane that was to take her to Duel Academy. The young girl was a transfer student from West Academy, eager to show this new school just what she could do. The brown haired, green eyes girl carried a... unique deck, built from cards that few other duellists carried, and she could hardly wait to test it out against the students of Central Academy. The plane soon pulled in for a landing and the various passengers disembarked, stepping out onto the sunny grounds of Duel Academy, Jessa immediately stepping into the line-up of students as they waited anxiously and excitedly for their duelling evaluators to be assigned. Jessa bounced on her feet as she waited, the line could not move fast enough in her eyes.

'Come on!' she thought 'My destiny is waiting for me here!'

Finally, in a moment that couldn't have come soon enough, she made it to the front of the line where a... well, she wasn't really sure if it was a man or a woman who greeted her, but could you blame her for being unsure? He had long blonde hair that was tied up in a ponytail that reached down her back, and though she was taller than most women got, he also had his lips painted purple. "Name please?" He asked, his voice clearly male.

"Jessica Ashton, the destined duellist!" Jessa responded. Her friends at West Academy had given her that name after seeing her deck.

The... interesting... fellow behind the desk looked through the papers on his desk. "Ah yes, miss Ashton." He said, gesturing to a door behind him. "Head for duel arena number six."

Jessa grinned and pumped a fist in the air. "That's my lucky number!" She said, running off excitedly.

The man who told her the arena number looked after her confusedly. "I thought seven was a lucky number." He muttered. "Can I get just one normal student for once?"

Jessa didn't even hear him as she ran into the duel arena, making a b-line towards arena six, a proctor in a grey coat waiting for her there. "And you must be Miss Ashton, right?" He asked.

Jessa nodded enthusiastically. "You can just call me Jessa though, and you are?"

"You can call me Mister Broden." Said the proctor, readying his duel disk. "I'm ready when you are."

The destined duellist activated her own duel disk and inserted her deck. "Let's duel!"

(Broden: 4000)

(Jessa: 4000)

"I'll start this duel." Said Jessa, drawing a sixth card. "I'll start off by summoning Pohatu – Toa of Stone in attack mode!"

Pohatu – Toa of Stone (Earth, Warrior, Level 4, ATK: 1200, DEF: 2200)

A brown mechanical warrior rose from a cloud of dust in front of Jessa, his face covered in an aerodynamic mask with a pair of slits in each cheek. He was taller than either of the duellists present, and his feet had powerful looking padding that made them look like they could split or smash rocks.

"And then I'll play two cards face down and end my turn."

"It seems it's my move now." Said Broden, drawing a new card. "And I'll start by playing my Insect Knight in attack mode."

Insect Knight (Earth, Insect, Level 4, ATK: 1900, DEF: 1500)

Insect Knight, a lanky, humanoid insect carrying a sword and shield rose to the field. "Now," The proctor continued. "I'll have my knight attack your monster! Go, Insect Sword Slash!" Insect knight hissed and lunged for Pohatu, but the Toa of Stone didn't move. Instead, as Insect Knight grew closer, he reared back and kicked the opposing monster back to Broden's side of the field. "What? How did you do that?"

Jessa smirked. "Oh, I didn't mention Pohatu's ability, did I? You see, Pohatu wears the mask of speed, meaning that he's fast enough to change to defence mode before your attack could connect. But wait, there's more, but you'll see just what that does when you take some damage."

(Broden: 4000-3400)

"All damage you take from attacking Pohatu while he's in defence mode is doubled." Jessa continued. "So, you have any more bright ideas, or are you going to pass things off to me?"

Broden grinned at the girl. "I'll place two cards face down and end my turn."

"My move!" Said Jessa. "First off, I'll sacrifice Pohatu for another monster: Onua – Toa of Earth!"

Onua – Toa of Earth (Earth, Warrior, Level 5, ATK: 2000, DEF: 2000)

The monster Jessa summoned used a pair of massive black claws to tear open the ground and emerged with a mighty leap. When he landed, both Broden and the crowd got a look at the monster Jessa had played. He was shorter than her previous monster, and instead of standing proud, he was hunched over slightly. Also different was his colouration, a subterranean black rather than a stony brown. Finally, there was his mask and weapons: whereas Pohatu had additions to his feet, Onua instead had a pair of massive claws, and his mask, rather than being brown and aerodynamic, was black and diamond shaped, looking very strong and durable.

"Now, Onua might be tough on his own, but I'll add the field spell Kini Nui – The Great Temple to the mix"

Jessa slid the new card into her duel disk, and the duel arena began to change. All around the duellists, six stone pillars rose from the ground which rose as well to create a circular arena in the middle of the six pillars. Finally, a stone head resembling that of a humanoid machine rose up behind her. "With this card on the field, all Toa monsters gain 500 attack and defence points when in battle."

Onua – Toa of Earth (ATK: 2000-2500 DEF: 2000-2500)

"Now, Onua, destroy Insect Knight with subterranean smash!"

At Jessa's command, Onua leapt at Insect Knight, brandishing his claws.

"I don't think so!" Said Broden "I activate my two face down cards: Reinforcements and another Reinforcements, which raise my Knight's attack by 1000 points!"

Insect Knight (ATK: 1900-2900)

"Now destroy Onua!"

"I don't think so, because now Onua's ability activate!" Jessa said.

Onua – Toa of Earth (ATK: 2500-3000)

Onua landed in front of Insect Knight and, with a swing of his claws, cut the bug apart.

(Broden: 3400-3300)

"What?" Broden exclaimed.

"Onua's special ability activates whenever he battles a monster with higher attack than his," said Jessa "and it instantly raises his attack and defence by 500 points thanks to his mask of strength, enough to stomp your bug."

"Lucky shot." Said Broden.

"You can call it luck, but I call this unity." Jessa said. "I'll summon Gali – Toa of Water in attack mode.

Gali – Toa of Water (Water, Warrior, Level 4, ATK: 1500-2000, DEF: 1900-2400)

A slimmer figure of similar shape to the last two Toa appeared on the field. She was clearly feminine and coloured entirely blue, her mask resembling that of a scuba diver. In each of her hands was a large, wicked looking hook. "And with that, I'll end my turn." Jessa said.

"My move then." Said Broden, drawing a new card. "First, I'll activate the spell card Ancient Rules. This allows me to special summon a high level normal monster from my hand without tributing." He said, placing a card on his duel disk. "Say hello to Metal Armoured Bug!"

Metal Armoured Bug (Earth, Insect, Level 8, ATK: 2800, DEF: 1500)

A massive, steel plated beetle rose on Broden's side of the field. "He's got more than enough power to take down your Toa of Water, so Metal Armoured Bug, attack Gali!" The massive insect lumbered toward its next victim.

"I don't think so! I activate the trap card Hau's Protection!" Jessa said, activating one of her face down cards. "As long as I have more than one monster on the field this turn, then one of my monsters can't be destroyed by battle this turn."

"But you still take damage." Broden said as Metal Armoured Bug slammed into Gali, knocking her back.

(Jessa: 4000-3200)

"Now I'll play two cards face down and end my turn."

Jessa winced as she took damage, but soon returned her focus to the duel. "My move." She said, drawing a new card. She looked at the card and smirked to herself. "First of all, I summon Lewa – Toa of Air in attack mode!"

Lewa – Toa of Air (Wind, Warrior, Level 4, ATK: 1600, DEF: 1200)

The new Toa that appeared on Jessa's side of the field was green in colour and was thinner than any of the previous monsters. In his hand he held a long green axe and in his mask was angular and aerodynamic, resembling the front of a plane. "Lewa here has an interesting ability." Said Jessa "If I cut his attack points in half, I can attack you directly, but first, I'll give him a little protection with my other face down card, the equip spell Kanohi Kaukau!" As Jessa activated the card, Lewa's mask shifting to mirror Gali's in shape. "With this mask, when Lewa attacks you directly, you can't activate any spells or traps until the end of the damage step! And let's not forget my field spell that makes my Toa stronger in battle."

Lewa – Toa of Air (ATK: 1600-800-1300)

Lewa shifted his mask to its original shape and leapt into the air over Metal Armoured Bug. Once he was over the insectoid behemoth, his mask shifted to the Kanohi Kaukau and he broke into a dive toward the ground, landing right in front of Broden's face down cards and passing into the ground with what looked like a ripple of water. Before Broden could speak, Lewa burst out from the ground in front of him and swung his axe, a burst of wind slamming into the proctor as the Toa of Air returned to Jessa's side of the field.

(Broden: 3300-2000)

"And I'm not done yet." Jessa said. "I activate the spell card Unity! With this card, I can fuse my Toa monsters together to summon Toa Kaita monsters. So I'll fuse Lewa and Gali from my side of the field with Kopaka – Toa of Ice from my hand."

At Jessa's words, Lewa and Gali leapt off the field and into a vortex that seemed to form above the field, the destined duellist throwing another card into the vortex to join them. "By fusing these three monsters, I can summon Wairuha – Toa of Wisdom!"

Wairuha – Toa of Wisdom (Light, Warrior/Fusion, Level 8, ATK: 3000, DEF: 2600)

Emerging in a beam of light from the vortex was a being, still clearly a Toa but colossal in size, three times the size of any Toa played so far. He was white, green and blue in colour, and forged into his chestplate were Gali's hooks, in his left hand was a white round shield, in his right was a combination of Lewa's axe and a white sword, and covering his face was the Toa of Air's mask but coloured a bright gold instead of green.

Broden stared up in awe at the Toa Kaita, but the worst news was yet to come. "If you think he's cool now, wait until you see his special ability." Jessa said. "You see, Wairuha has the abilities of all three of the monsters that form him, so by cutting his attack in half, he can attack you directly! And let's not forget that Kini Nui power boost!"

Wairuha – Toa of Wisdom (ATK: 3000-1500-2000)

"Wairuha, attack his life points directly and end this duel with strike of the wise!"

Wairuha saluted Broden with his weapon before he swung it in an upwards stroke. Within seconds, a storm brewed, wind, rain and hail flying at the proctor, dropping his life points to zero.

(Broden: 2000-0)

Winner: Jessa Ashton.

"That's game!" Jessa said as the monsters vanished.

"Great work." Said Broden as he approached Jessa, offering her a handshake. "Welcome to Duel Academy Miss Ashton."

Jessa accepted the handshake. "Thanks... Uh, what do I do now?"

"Well, you should have your dorm assignment by the end of the day," said Broden "So until then, why don't you explore the school for a bit. Since you won, you'll be attending classes here now, so you might want to familiarize yourself with the school."

The young girl nodded. "Thank you." Broden nodded at her and walked off. When he was gone, Jessa dug through her deck and produced a card depicting a small mechanical being with yellow legs, a red body and arms and a blue mask in the shape of Onua's. "New year and a new school huh?" She said, looking at the card. "I guess we're both wanderers in a way, huh Takua?"

And with that we have our first chapter.

So, what do you think? Did you like my Toa cards? Jessa has a deck of Toa Mata and other beings from the Mata Nui storyline. I will introduce characters with other Bionicle related decks, so if there's a specific deck you want to see, then let me know, as well as if you think the cards in that deck should be given specific abilities.
