Heroic Rebirth Arc:

Duel 1: The Child of Legend

My name is Yuki Hiro. I am the son of Yuki Judai (Jaden Yuki) and a mother that wasn't there to see me grow up. A four months ago, my father mysteriously vanished. All that he left me were his deck and his Duel Disk. The only company I had were my friends Jacob and Yuuta. We've been friends since childhood. Our parents have known each other for years.

They all attended the prestigious Duel Academy. Jacob was the son of Mana Jamila-Marufuji (Mana is the Dark Magician Girl's real name in the original Yu-Gi-Oh! The name Jamila is an Egyptian name meaning "beautiful".) and the Duel Monsters prodigy Marufuji Sho (Syrus Truesdale in the dub). Growing up, Jacob was often the butt of many jokes because of his name. He was the only one of us with a foreign name. Yuuta, on the other hand, was the son of a scientist by the name of Fudo Jotaro and a Chinese woman by the name of Ai Ping Guo (Love Flower is the translation of the name into English. Keep in mind, Ai is her maiden name.) His father was a Technical Club member and met mine and Jacob's dad to do maintenance on their Duel Disks. He also invented the Duel Runner and the Turbo Duel.

He figured since Synchro cards were introduced recently, Dueling needed to be revolutionized and evolve along side the Duel Monsters game itself. So yeah, out of all of us, Yuuta had big money and was raised in a big fancy house with things like butlers and maids. Despite being rich, he was kind hearted and often donated his allowance to charity. He was also the only one of us to own a Duel Runner.

I'm getting off track here, so let's continue shall we? Today is the day of the Duel Academy entrance exams, Jacob, Yuuta, and I were running as fast as possible to the stadium. We spent the entire night at Yuuta's going over our decks and having practice duels. This was a terrible idea in hindsight. We sign in just in time and went in to take our seats.

"I can't believe it!" Jacob exclaimed. "We're actually going to live our dream!"

"I hope the adjustments I made to my Synchron deck did anything," Yuuta looked at his deck.

"Calm down, Yuuta" I say to them. "You're going to do fine."

The intercom turned sounded.

"Fudo Yuuta, please report to Duel Field 3," it said.

Yuuta got up and walked to the stadium floor.

"Good luck!" Jacob shouted.

Yuuta smirked and kept on walking.

"Marufuji Jacob," the intercom sounded. "Please report to Duel Field 1. Yuki Hiro, please report to Duel Field 8."

Up in the section where the proctors sat, a dirty blonde woman turned white as a sheet.

"Chancellor Tenjoin," a projector looked at her with concern. "Are you alright?"

"Get my deck," she ordered. "I'm proctoring Mr. Yuki's Duel."

The proctor turns and grabs a box. Opening it, a deck is revealed. The Chancellor grabs the deck and a blue Academy Duel Disk. She walks the the Duel Field and situated herself.

I walk into the Duel Field and took my spot.

"I am Chancellor Asuka Tenjoin," the woman introduced herself. "I will be proctoring your exam."

This woman seemed so familiar to me. I know her. I couldn't remember where.

"I am Yuki Hiro," I reply. "I am the son of legendary duelist Yuki Judai! In the words of my father: 'Game on!'"

I put my deck into my dad's Red Academy Duel Disk, it activated and opened up. I drew my hand.

"I'll go first!" The Chancellor declared and drew a card. "I summon Etoile Cyber (LV. 4|1200 ATK/1600 DEF|Attribute: Earth|Type: Warrior/Effect)!"

A humanoid monster emerged onto the field. It was a feminine monster wearing a red leotard.

"Then I set one card face down!" She put a card in the Spell and Trap Zone. "I end my turn!"

I draw. I drew Elemental Hero Sparkman.

"I summon Elemental Hero Sparkman (LV. 4|1600 ATK/1400 DEF|Attribute: Light|Type: Warrior)" I put the Monster Card in attack mode.

A blue and gold humanlike monster came out onto the field. Sparkman had 1600 ATK and Etoile Cyber had only 1200. I decided to go for the jugular.

"Sparkman! Light her up!" I shout.

The monster opened his palm and electricity shot out.

"I activate my Trap!" The Chancellor cried. "Doble Passe!"

A face down came up. It had a picture of a dancing woman. The electricity veered around the monster and hit Chancellor Tenjoin. A Life Point counter popped up and went from 4000 to 2400.

"This duel began exactly like how your mine and your father's duel went," She giggled.

"You knew my dad?"

"I'm not surprised you don't remember who I am, Hiro-kun," her face became somber. "I am your mother."

"That explains why you seemed so familiar," I replied. "I'm guessing you don't know what happened to dad."

"What happened to him?" She asked.

"He strangely disappeared," I explain. "All he left me was his deck and his Duel Disk. This happened four months ago. After we're done here, I have more questions to ask, Chancellor."

My mother's monster's ATK jumped to 1800 and slammed me with a heavy amount of damage. My Life Points dropped from 4000 to 2200.

"I end my turn," I say.

She drew a card and summoned a monster called Blade Skater (LV. 4|1400 ATK/1500 DEF|Attribute: Earth|Type: Warrior).

"I activate Polymerization!" She declared.

Blade Skater and Etoile Cyber fused together.

"I summon Cyber Blader (LV: 7|2100 ATK/800 DEF|Attribute: Earth|Type: Warrior/Fusion/Effect)!" She summoned a monster that looked like a cross between the two Fusion materials. "I attack Sparkman with Cyber Blader!"

The monster charged at Sparkman by pirouetting. Her leg slammed into Sparkman causing him to explode. My Life Points drop to 1700.

"No... I won't lose here..." I feel myself start getting stronger.

"Your eyes... they're two different colors..." Mother looked frightened. "Judai's did the same... so that means... oh no. You inherited the power of the Supreme King..."

"It's my turn!" I draw.

I drew a Spell called Miracle Contact. I could feel myself returning to normal.

"I discard Neo Space Pathfinder (LV. 4|1800 ATK/800 DEF|Attribute: Light|Type: Warrior/Effect) and use its effect to add Neo Space to my hand!" I search my deck, put Neo Space in my hand, and shuffled my deck. "Then I play Neo Space!"

A compartment in my Duel Disk opens, I put Neo Space in, and the compartment closes. The field is surrounded by what seems like a rainbow that was put into a blender.

"Next, from my hand, I play Miracle Fusion!" I activate the Spell. "I shuffle from my hand, Field, or Grave Fusion materials to bring out a "Neos" Fusion Monster! I shuffle Neo-Spacian Grand Mole (LV. 3|900 ATK/300 DEF|At Attribute: Earth|Type: Rock/Effect), Sparkman, Elemental Hero Neos (LV. 7|2500 ATK/2000 DEF|Attribute: Light|Type: Warrior), Elemental Hero Clayman (LV. 4|800 ATK/2000 DEF|Attribute: Earth|Type: Warrior), and Neo Space Pathfinder!" I shuffle the five cards into my deck and summoned my OWN Fusion. "I summon Elemental Hero Divine Neos (LV. 12|2500 ATK/2500 DEF|Attribute: Light|Type: Warrior/Fusion/Effect)!"

Divine Neos materialized in mid-air and spread his wings.

"You even have your father's drawing luck," Mother commented.

"What makes summoning this powerhouse right here all the sweeter, is the Field Boost! All "Neos" Monsters gain 500 ATK!" I added. "Divine Neos! Let's go! Heavenly Dive!"

Divine Neos flew up into the air and came down on Cyber Blader. Upon Cyber Blader's destruction, my mother's Life Points went to 1500.

"I end my turn."

Chancellor Tenjoin plays two cards face down and hands the baton back to me.

I draw. I drew a Spell called Contact Out. Putting it face down, I attacked.

"I activate Dimensional Fissure!" Chancellor Tenjoin cried. "Your monster is now removed from play ("Banished" for you players that only started playing since 2012 and after.)!"

"'Fraid not!" I activated my Spell. "Contact Out! I return Divine Neos to the Extra Deck and Special Summon all of the monsters that can be used to make him! I choose Neos, Grand Mole, Clayman, Sparkman, and Pathfinder!"

My entire Monster Card Zone fills up to the maximum. I put Neos, Pathfinder, Sparkman, and Grand Mole in Attack Position and I put Clayman in Defense Position.

"I now fuse Grand Mole and Neos for Contact Fusion!" I shuffle Neos and Grand Mole into my deck and brought out Elemental Hero Grand Neos (LV. 7|2500 ATK/2000 DEF|Attribute: Earth|Type: Warrior/Fusion/Effect). "I summon Elemental Hero Grand Neos!"

"Judai, you taught him very well," Mother whispered.

"With the 500 ATK point bonus, Grand Neos now has 3000 ATK!" I announce. "Grand Neos! End this! Drill Crash!"

Grand Neos lunged and attacked for game. My mother's Life Points hit Zero. I put away my cards and deactivated the Duel Disk.

"What would my father say if he saw me win," I asked no one in particular.

Chancellor Tenjoin walked up to me and hugged me.

"He'd say 'Gotcha,'" my mother said. "Go home and get everything packed. You're moving in with me on the island."

"Mom, can you look at how well my friends scored and find out what dorm they'll be in?" I ask.

"Why do you want to know?" She asked.

"I don't want to be separated from them," I respond.

She lets go and smiles.

"I'll see," She said.

"Thanks, mother," I smile back.

Hey, everyone! I normally write video game related stories, but I decided to write about one of my favorite anime and my favorite card game. I based the HERO deck in the story off of my own which was based on JADEN's from the anime. Haha. Anyway, my HERO deck was my very first that I got 10 years ago when I was five. I recently turned it into a Neo Space HERO deck. But yeah, this story has been an idea I had that I thought was awesome. It's only going to get darker and darker, though. Because anything associated with the Dark World and it's inhabitants are bad news. Come check out the next volume. There will be cake. Honest!
