Yu-Gi-Oh! GX – Heroes and villains

Prologue – Run in with the king of games

Jaden Yuki a fifteen year old duelist dressed in grey hurtled down the streets, his spiky brown hair blowing wildly in the wind. He was on his was to the dueling entry exam.

'Let's see…I've got my deck, my duel disk and less than 2 minutes to make it to the entrance exam in time before it starts' muttered Jaden as he ran

'Well at least since I'm not a student yet, they can't give me detention for being late!' he laughed.

He drew nearer to the huge building where the exam to join the dueling academy which was about to take place, he ran into a young adult dressed in blue leather trousers and a black sleeveless shirt, he had light violet eyes and wildly spiky hair. As Jaden collided he was knocked back and landing flat on his butt. His deck fell to the ground and the cards scattered. As he quickly picked up his cards he uttered several brief apologies.

'So you're a duelist aren't you?' said the young man, not looking the least bit bothered about being ran into.

'Yep' replied Jaden 'Actually I'm off to the dueling entry exam so I can join the dueling academy' Jaden brushed himself off and jumped to his feet

'You don't say?' remarked the stranger, smiling faintly

'Hey aren't you…' gasped Jaden looking into the eyes of the king of games himself.

'Why don't you take this…' he replied, taking out a card from his deck and handing it to Jaden

Jaden took the card and looked down at the rare monster card Winged Kuriboh.

'Something tells me that it belongs with you' he added before Jaden could reply. The king of games then left smiling faintly, sensing a great deal of potential and knowing a great destiny was about to unfold for the young teen.

'…err thanks, I'll make you proud' called out Jaden, bowing slightly. The king of games gave him a thumb's up and then walked away.

Jaden suddenly realized that he was late for the exam. He swore loudly for a moment, then added the new card to his deck and charged along the pavement towards the huge white building where the duels were about to be held.

'If I'm gonna be the next King of games, I can't be late to the games!' he said to himself as he burst through the large spin doors.

'Who's ready to duel?'
