Journey To The Top
Two boys were running down the street, one had two different shades of brown hair and was wearing a red t-shirt under his light black jacket along with the same color jeans. The other boy had black hair from the bottom of his neck to the top of his forehead where his hair change to a light golden blond color that covered the corner of his left eye along with the majority of his left eyebrow. The brown-haired boy was panting as he tried to keep pace with his friend he then turns his head and said "damn it are you sure we have everything Yako we won't have time to go back if we forgot anything"
"I have everything I need if you forgot something then that's your problem for not being able to get up early even on what could be the most important day of our life Jaden" his friend now know as Jaden looked slightly hurt "hey now don't go blaming me you could've just left but decided to stay behind, and wait" "Of course I waited we're best friends and I wouldn't want to go to duel academy with anyone else well" Yako shot back as they bobbed and weaved through crowded streets
"hey now don't go blaming me you could've just left but decided to stay behind, and wait" "Of course I waited we're best friends and I wouldn't want to go to duel academy with anyone else well" Yako shot back as they bobbed and weaved through crowded streets
"Of course I waited we're best friends and I wouldn't want to go to duel academy with anyone else well" Yako shot back as they bobbed and weaved through crowded streets
"Besides this is your fault Jaden, Yako tried to get you up at least six times before you finally got up" The two boys looked between them while the normal person would just see empty space Yako and Jaden could see a transparent demon woman with one orange eye and one teal eye. "
"Thanks, Yubel but what are you gonna do Jaden will be Jaden and that's why we're friends and why you love him so.
"he said with a sly smile as Yubel and Jaden blush.
"why can't you just say care or like" asked Yubel?
"One because you and Jaden have a much stronger relationship than just liking or caring about one another, two it's fun to tease you Yubel and three Jaden thinks you look cute when blushing" Yako told her in a teasing voice Jaden just started to run faster but noticed Yubel lunge for Yako who just laughed and jump away from the demon lady's attack. Unfortunately for Jaden who was so caught up in his friend and girlfriend fight that he failed to notice the person in front of him until he ran right into the man knocking himself to the ground.
As soon as Jaden hit the ground Yubel completely forgot about Yako and went to check on her boyfriend/partner to make sure he was okay. Yako stopped running as well to help Jaden pick up the cards that went flying once all the cards were picked up Yako turned back around and began to apologize "I'm sorry my friend and I are in a hurry and he must not have seen you..." Yako then immediately realized just who he and Jaden just ran into he immediately nudged Jaden who looked over his shoulder and stared wide-eyed at who he literally just ran into.
"You're you're," Jaden stuttered.
"Yugi Motto the king of games" Yako finished Jaden's sentence.
"You two are duelists aren't you?" Yugi calmly asked the two teenagers.
Yes, we are, we're going to try out for the academy" Yako answered back. They both just watched Yugi smiled as he took out two cards and hand one to Yako and one to Jaden.
then told them in that deep calm voice "I want you to have those cards something tells me they belong with the two of you" Jaden looked down at the card he was just given and heard a squeaking and the saw the spirit of the winged kuriboh he had just received. The same thing was happening with Yako just with a different monster Yako's monster spirit was a chubby little rabbit wearing a collar, a hard hat, a ski mask over the hard hat, and had walkie-talkie around its neck.
"what card is that?" Jaden asked not being familiar with the strange rabbit monster
"It's a cute little monster named rescue rabbit" Yako answered back.
They then heard a chuckle and looked to see the king of games quietly laughing to himself "so the two of you can see monster spirits then" Yugi asked
"yep for as long as we can remember we've had a strong connection with duel monster spirits" Jaden answered as he shared a quick glance with Yubel as she smiled at him he felt his entire body warm up.
"That's good well then it won't hurt to tell you now that those monsters wanted to go with you after they felt a connection with your dueling spirit well then I wish you both good luck I have a feeling you two will accomplish much as duelists.
"Thank you, Yugi we'll make you proud" Jaden yell at him as Yug walked away he turned to smile and gave Jaden a thumbs up. "wow I can't believe we met the king of games can you Yako?" Jaden asked when he didn't get answer he looked ahead of him only to see that his friend had run ahead"Yako just wait until I get my hands on you"
Yubel laughed at her boyfriend's anger and thought to herself "I wish they could always stay so carefree and innocent"
LATER AT THE KAIBA DOME
A boy with light blue and spiky hair was watching an applicant duel between a proctor and Bastion Misawa the proctor had 1900 life points left and two monsters in defense mode while Bastion had Vorse Raider in attack mode and one face down. The blue-haired boy jumped as he felt two people suddenly appeared next to him on his left was a boy with brown eyes and multi-colored brown hair "pretty sweet duel don't you think?" he asked.
"Yeah I'll say that applicant sure knows what he's doing," said the boy on his right that had black and golden blonde hair along with bright silver eyes.
"Yeah that's Bastion Misawa he got the highest score at of any applicant," said the kid with blue hair.
"Whoa really I just barely passed my name Jaden Yuki by the way and my friend on your right name is Yako," said Jaden.
"Nice to meet you um"
"Syrus, Syrus Truesdale"
"Good well its nice to meet you Syrus are you a student here?" asked Yako. As of five minutes ago, I am but I only won my duel because of a fluke" Syrus told them.
"Well, congrats Sy look like we'll be seeing more of each other at least after we win our duels" Chimed Jaden in an excited tone. Syrus was shocked over the nickname from a person he just met
"Wait, you two haven't dueled but this was supposed to be the last one," Syrus told them
"What oh no I thought we made it in time," said Jaden who was panicking.
Yako quietly left the two and went and found an empty supply closet then took out his phone and made a call it rang a few times before he heard a click and the voice on the other side started talking
"oo Yakoy boy I was just about to call to see how you did on the exam," said the voice
"Hi, Pegasus and that's why I'm calling you see Yako explained what happen quickly so I need you to call the chancellor please Pegasus."
"Of course I'll call him anything to help my son and heir by now and good luck."
Yako stayed silent as he waited he listen to the beeping showing that his adoptive father/godfather the multi-billionaire Maximillion Pegasus had hung up. Yako sighed and thought "I haven't even entered the academy and I'm already relying on his help, well no more from here on in I'm going to follow my own path to become a pro duelist".
Yako then walked back to Jaden and Syrus where he caught the rest of the duel between the proctor and Bastion where the latter had just activated the trap card Ring of Destruction so he destroyed his verse Raider causing the proctor to lose the rest of his life points and win the duel.
"where did you disappear off too," asked Syrus your friend was losing it.
"Oh sorry I had to make a phone call to my godfather," Yako said as he scratched the back of his head. Jaden was about to say something when he saw the same kid from the duel beforehand "Hey sweet duel Bastion you could be the second best duelist here" " Bastion and Syrus looked shocked before the loudspeakers went on"
Jaden was about to say something when he saw the same kid from the duel beforehand "Hey sweet duel Bastion you could be the second best duelist here" " Bastion and Syrus looked shocked before the loudspeakers went on"
Will Jaden Yuki please report to exam field one for the second to the last examination of the day
"Looks like it's my lucky day now all that's left to do is win and get into duel academy" exclaimed Jaden before running off to his exam.
Before he heard Bastion ask him, "who is the best duelist hear then?"
"Who knows Jaden probably thinks he the best," Yako told the two boys.
"But that was a great duel Bastion."
"Thank you and for your friend's sake I hope he really is that good cause takes a look at his opponent." The other two boys look down at the field and saw Jaden on one side but on the other side was the most feminine looking man they have ever seen most likely because of the purple lipstick.
"Who is that?" asked Syrus.
"That is Doctor Crowler one of the best duelists in the academy"
"Oh no how is Jaden gonna beat an expert duelist!" exclaimed Syrus
"Don't worry our pal Jaden can take him"
"Did we really look like friends?" asked Syrus.
"Yeah now look the duel is starting," said Yako
DOWN AT THE EXAM FIELD
"Why should we even allow this slacker to try out at least Pegasus's kid can help the image of the school but the boss wanted to give him a shot so I'll just have to make sure this rude little slacker won't be allowed into duel academy especially considering that I'm using my own personal deck." thought Crowler to himself . "Hello young man what is your name?" asked Crowler. Jaden looked at Crowler for a minute before answering "My name is Jaden, Jaden Yuki miss".
Crowler started fuming at this and lost his smile "MISS I'M A MAN AND TO YOU IT'S DOCTOR CROWLER" Crowler screamed. " sorry but the purple lipstick mislead me I thought that you were a woman or some kind of academy mascot".
The entire stadium was filled with laughter after that comment making Crowler even angrier than he already was. One thing is for sure Crowler was going to do everything in his power to make sure this boy fails.
Up, on the rafters four boys in blue blazers looked down at exam field one and the middle one said"That punk has one hell of a mouth on him insulting and expert duelist like doctor Crowler". "doesn't matter cause as long as my name is Chazz Princeton Crowler gonna crush that little slacker" the other boys all nodded in agreement.
Up even higher near the railings a blonde girl stood with a young man with short blue hair and had an expressionless face on. The girl looked at the field, "That just doesn't seem fair I mean Crowler will probably use his personal deck to make sure this kid fails just cause he was a little late".
"You're too soft Alexis if this kid can't hold his own against the doctor then he has no place at duel academy beside we just might get to see that legendary rare card Crowler has in his deck.
"I guess but still it just seems like this kid was doomed to fail from the start," said Alexis
BACK DOWN AT THE EXAM FIELD
Crowler drew his sixth card, "first I activate the magic card Cost Down, so now by discarding one card from my hand all the monsters in my hand go down two levels so now I can summon my Ancient Gear Beast without a sacrifice". A mechanical beast appeared on the field looking like someone tried to make a sabertooth and a Rottweiler out of rusty scrap metal it has 2000 attack points. "next I'll place a card face down then activate Heavy Storm and destroy my Statue of the Wicked allowing me to summon a wicked token and thanks to this spell card Double Summon I can perform a second normal summon this turn so now I sacrifice my wicked token to summon my Ancient Gear Golem". The entire stadium gasped at the enormous metal golem and the great play the doctor just made. "I think that should do for now so I'll end my turn"
"Oh boy I really want to come to this school now I can't remember when I was in this kind of situation so now that showed your hand let me show you mine"
"What, is he crazy he's staring two incredibly powerful monsters down like he doesn't even care," said Syrus,
"That's Jaden for you no matter what you throw at him he just keep on smiling," said Yako
"Hmm well then let's see if he got the skill to back up that attitude of his," said Bastion
"Now I draw, then I'll activate the spell card Pot of Greed so I draw two more cards,"said Jaden as he then picked up two cards one was di-fusion while the other was Winged Kuriboh who spirit appeared beside Jaden Who mentally told It "I'm glad you show up so you can see all my monsters in action but for now just stay back okay," Kuriboh squeaked and went behind Jaden's shoulder.
"Now I play polymerization and fuse the Elemental Hero Avian and Burstinatrix to summon my Elemental Hero Flame Wingman A buff green hero with a red dragon arm, and he has 2100 attack points so now let's use them to destroy ancient gear beast with skydive scorcher," Flame Wingman jumped up covered himself in flames then jumped back down and destroyed Ancient gear best dealing a 100 points to Crowler dropping his life points down to 3900 "oh and let's not forget my wingman's superpower which deals damage to you equal to the attack of the monster he destroyed meaning you take another 2000 points of damage doctor" Flame Wingman got in front of crowler and let loose a cauldron of fire which dropped Crowler's life points to 1900.
"What was the point of that you little hero still can't beat my Ancient Gear Golem,"
"Maybe not this monster but once I activate my quick fusion magic card Flame Wingman will be fused with Elemental Hero Sparkman to create the Shining Flare Wingman," said Jaden as a new monster appeared on the field looking similar to the Flame Wingman but now sporting new shining white armor ATK 2500 DEF 2100. "Oh and by the way doc Flare Wingman get's an extra 300 points for each Elemental Hero monster in my grave and right now there are 4 so Flare Wingman gains 1200 attack points, Flare Wingman ATK 2500-3700, "Now Flare Wingman finish this," Flare wingman destroyed Ancient Gear Golem with a blast of white fire, Crowler's LP 1900-1200.
"No matter I still have life points left."
"Not quite since Flare Wingman has the same effect as Flame Wingman so now you take damage equal to your Gear Golem attack."
"What but that means."
"This duel is over so end it Flare Wingman," said Jaden as Flare Wingman shot a blast of fire at Crowler, Crowler's LP 1200-0
"And, that's game."
"That punk just lucked out there's no way someone newbie could beat Doctor Crowler. Said the Kid in the blue uniform
At the same time, Alexis smiled at Jaden who now was dancing on the exam field "look like this kid got future here" "Whatever" Zane then turned and started to leave. Until Alexis called out to him "hey wait there another duel happening". But Zane just kept on walking not saying anything"
Syrus and Yako cheered celebrating Jaden's win.
While Bastion looked at Jaden and thought "Nice I could use some competition, and a good rival".
At the same time, Jaden had gotten back up the railing where Syrus, Yako, and Bastion were "Hey guys how was that"? Jaden asked with a huge smile on his face. "Quite all right" answered Bastion. "That was awesome Jaden I wish I could duel like that" Said Syrus. "Yeah pretty good, of course, I would have been better," Said Yako with a sly smile on his face "yeah yeah well time to go prove it" Jaden shot back as soon as Jaden said that the speakers went on one final time
"Quite all right" answered Bastion. "That was awesome Jaden I wish I could duel like that" Said Syrus.

Yeah yeah well time to go prove it" Jaden shot back as soon as Jaden said that the speakers went on one final time.
ATTENTION WILL OUR FINAL APPLICANT YAKO PEGASUS REPORT TO EXAM FIELD ONE
"What Pegasus but you couldn't be" Sysus started to say.
"Actually I am Maximillion Pegasus Adopted me when I was child"
"Yeah but who cares about that just go kick some butt" yelled Jaden
"Yes good luck in your duel," Said Jaden and Bastion respectively
"Pegasus hmm this will be good," said the boy in blue
"hu I didn't know Pegasus had a kid but that guy's hair reminds of a person my brother wanted me to meet," Although that thought made her sad cause she started to think about how her brother disappeared a few years ago.
"So who am I dueling?" Yako asked out loud.
"That would be me" Yako immediately looked at the man on the other side he had short black hair wore a navy blue blazer with a black armband around his left arm and had a simple pair of jeans along with dark blue eyes.
Yako knew his opponent off the back as did all the other kids in the stadium "your Mayhem the top ranking rookie duelist of last year. "So you heard of me I'm flattered" "Yeah I watched some of your duels but I never thought I would get a chance to duel "well you got your chance
"So you heard of me I'm flattered."
"Yeah I watched some of your duels, but I never thought I would get a chance to duel you"
"Well, you got your chance now, "LET'S DUEL" they both yelled as they each drew five cards.
"So what's the deal with this guy"?
"You've never heard of Mayhem he's one of the top pro freshman duelists."
"Correct he was almost able to beat Seto Kaiba" chimed Bastion.
"What but if this guy is that good why is he a duel proctor!" yelled Syrus.
"Not sure but it might have something with that Yako fellow being in the Pegasus family" answered Bastion.
BACK ON THE EXAM FIELD
"If you don't mind I'll take the first move," said Mayhem as he drew his sixth card and smiled "looks like I'm gonna be able to bust out one of my best monsters right off the back by sending four machine monster to the graveyard I can summon my Machina Cannon"
"oh no, that monsters gain 800 attack points for each card sent to summon it!"
"Wait but he sent five cards to the graveyard so that's five-time 800 and that equals..."
Started Syrus "3200" answered Jaden "at least if my math's right that is."
"Your math is flawless and your friend is in trouble," said Bastion.
BACK ON THE EXAM FIELD
"Now I activate the spell card quick attack which will allow my monster to attack even though it's the first turn now Machina Cannon ready aim fire. The machine monster with a cannon the size of a skyscraper sent a blast of pure energy right at Yako who put crossed his hands in an X-position to help defend himself.
"well guess I was wrong this kid is nothing but a slacker who got lucky in life," remarked the Chazz in a snotty tone
The energy blast cleared and Mayhem spoke again "if you can still move it your turn" until heard Yako laughing hysterically "what you just lost almost all your life points and you're laughing."
It was true Yako had just 800 life points left. "Of course I'm laughing I can't remember the last time I had this much fun in a duel."
The entire stadium couldn't understand why this kid was laughing while losing.
"I wonder if he can turn this around because his future at this school might just depend on it," thought Alexis
"Now it's finally my turn to show what I can do" Said Yako as he drew his first card he thought "It's time for me to start my own path my path out of Pegasus's shadow" "I play the magic card Gem-Knight Fusion, so now I can fuse Gem-Knight monsters on the field or in my hand to summon a Gem-Knight fusion Monster, so I fuse Gem-knight Garnet, and tourmaline to summon my Gem knight Prismaura in attack mode." A shining knight wearing white armor a red cape with a sword and shield appeared with 2450 attack. Mayhem was about to talk but Yako beat him to it "I now activate my Knight special effect my sending Gem-Knight Sapphire to the grave I can destroy your Machina Cannon "What! no way" exclaimed mayhem as he watched his machine get zapped by electricity before bursting into pieces "Doesn't matter I still have all my life points while you only got 800" Mayhem said trying to show he still had control of this duel.
"What! no way" exclaimed mayhem as he watched his machine get zapped by electricity before bursting into pieces "Doesn't matter I still have all my life points while you only got 800" Mayhem said trying to show he still had control of this duel.
"Give me a minute and my knights and I will fix that because I now summon my Gem-knight Alexandrite". A second, knight in white armor appeared only this one had smaller gems embedded into his armor he had 1800 attack points. "While my two knights are already strong enough to win I want to show you my deck's ace so I activate my Alexandrite effect by sacrificing him I can special summon when norma Gem-Knight monster from my deck which I will do to summon my Gem-Knight Crystal". Alexandrite became surrounded in a bright light causing people to cover their eyes but once the light faded a much bulkier and taller knight stood in his place this one had metallic silver armor and a crystal in the center of his chest along with crystallized spike coming off his shoulder blades.
The spirit of Gem-Knight Crystal then appeared next to Yako and spoke to him mentally "You didn't need to summon me Prismaura and Alexandrite had more than a combined attack of 4000".
Yako responded, "I know but I wanted to get my iconic monster out on the field, and besides I wanted to ask if you think I should add rescue rabbit to my deck,"
"Hmm why not test with this deck and if it doesn't work the will just make a deck it does work in" responded Crystal.
"sounds like a good idea but let's win this first" Said Yako.
"Of course sire just give the orders."
"Okay leading the charge is Crystal attack with Crystal barrage". Gem-knight Crystal rushed Mayhem and deliver a devastating punch in the man's midsection Mayhem fell to his knees as his life points fell to 1550. "Now Prismaura finishes this duel with Electric Gem Slash" Prismaura the raised his sword as it started to crackle with electricity before he swung it in an X-formation causing an X shaped blast of electricity to hit Mayhem directly decreasing his life points to zero.
The stadium cheered while Chazz just looked uninterested and blamed the whole thing on luck.
"Looks like we got another special one," Alexis said as she smiled as he flashes a peace sign to the crowd.
Yako then felt someone staring at him and looked up at the railing and saw a beautiful girl with blonde hair. "She looks familiar but why?" Thought Yako
"Shut up seriously that middle earth knight talk got old five years ago, but doesn't that girl remind you about that Atticus Rhodes person we fought in that local tournament a few years back remember he beat Jaden then we beat him In the finals he used a Red-eyes dragon deck."
"Now that you mention it she does seem somewhat similar do you think they could have a connection."
"Maybe or maybe I'm just crazy does it matter we made it in and this is where our path to the top starts".
Author notes
Okay, so this is my newest project let me know what you think and how it can be better.
oh and this will be a crossover with Digimon just not for the first part, so sorry to you Digimon fan but Digimon won't show until the later chapters
Lastly, if you have any suggestions for monster attack names leave them in a review with what monster they should go with, and I'll try to use them.
Also, let me know how my Oc is he won't always get one turn wins same with Jaden, but I just wanted to show what level they're on.
Oh in case you don't know Pegasus actually did have an adoptive son named Yako Tenma you find this in the Yugioh R manga
But I'm still gonna count it as my Oc cause the personality, age, and deck they play will/are different (in most cases)
Also, does anyone know what the ship name for Jaden and Yubel is?
