Note: Before anyone complains, this fanfic will be centered around the later half of the final fantasy series. Mainly FF9. And for one part of this fanfic, people who has played FF9 will notice that the Vivi I placed in this fanfic is still alive from the game. I personally believe that he still lived at the end of FF9. Also, not all the teachers where announced in the anime so I made some up. If you happen to know the teacher that teachers certain things, then by all means, tell me. I have no claim on any of the Final Fantasy games or Yugioh GX. The only thing I own is the characters I made. Flames will be douced. Now enjoy.

The moonlight shined brightly on an apartment complex as it's rays landed on a boy no older then 15. Beside him on his desk, sat his deck that the boy prepared for his entrance exam he had the next day. The moonlight glowed slightly as a blue and red light shined in the room and figures appeared in the light.

"Where are we?" The blonde hair tailed boy asked.

"I'm not sure. But I have to say we are in a room." The orange claded girl replied.

"What happened? One moment, we where in Alexendria watching the show that you put on and the next second, we are here." The blue claded short boy muttered looking at the tailed boy.

"I don't know. But we must first assess the situation." The armored man said.

"Hey look at this Dagger." The blonde hair guy said as he looked at the cards.

"Cards Zidane? You don't think this person plays Tetra Master Vivi?" Dagger replied.

"I'm not sure. It does not looks like any Tetra Master cards I know of." Vivi answered.

"Be careful that we do not damage this man's possessions." The armored man stated.

"Come now Steiner. It won't hurt to check them out." Zidane muttered as he placed a hand on the deck.

A sudden flash of light shined as the group of four vanished and the deck glowed before dying down. The light woke the sleeping boy up as he looked around.

"Wha? What was that light?" The boy mumbled half asleep.

He looked around the room and sighed.

"Nothing. Jason Tanara, you are going insane over the entrance exam tomorrow." He mumbled as he fell back to sleep not checking his deck that the red and blue moonlight shined on.

The morning light shined on Jason as he woke up. He quickly change to his usual attire of white shirt, gray school jacket, and blue shorts. He walked over to his finished warrior deck and turned it over expecting a Jacks Knight. What he saw instead was...

"Zidane Tribal, the Angel of Death?"

Jason rubbed his eyes again to make sure that he was awake and looked at the card again. But his eyes was not fooled as the picture of the blonde haired tailed boy remained.

"This is great! There goes a good amount of money and time wasted! I can't play with this!" Jason mumbled.

He looked back to his deck and saw that it glowed a bit before four balls of light rose from the deck and solidified into a shadow form of people.

"Even worse Jason. You are talking to yourself and seeing spirits." Jason grumbled.

"I am no spirit!" Steiner yelled jumping up and down as his armor clanked loudly.

"Great. My friends would laugh at me right now. Who are you and where did my warriors go?" Jason demanded.

"We are your cards and your fighters." Zidane replied.

"Zidane! I am sorry for handling your possessions. I am Princess Garnet. But everyone calls me Dagger. Zidane is the blonde haired boy." Dagger said.

"I'm Vivi and the man in the armor is Steiner." The tiny blue claded mage said.

"Ok. How did you even get into my deck in the first place ... wait. Put that on hold. We'll talk on the way to the exams." Jason said as he left the room, slamming the door harder then he needed.

"...what's his problem." Zidane asked.

After a quick breakfast, Jason managed to leave the apartment complex and his parent's hugs and good luck wishes. He was bound to Duel Academy on his in-line skates as he spoke about the current issue to Garnet.

"So, in short, you guys have no idea how you got here and you got sucked into my deck." Jason answered summing up Garnet's explanation.

"Yes. We want to head back to our own world, but we lack any means to do so at the moment." Garnet said with a slightly sad nod.

"Oh well, in any case..."

Just before Jason opened his mouth to speak, a brown haired boy in gray and red ran past him yelling, "'scuse me! Coming through!"

"Watch where you are going! As I was saying..." Jason yelled after the boy.

"We are here." The armored man Jason now know as Steiner said.

Everyone saw a towering white dome that stood atop a large hill that alost hosted a flight of stairs with hand rails.

"Why is it always with the towering buildings. Well, let's get started." Jason muttered as he skated back a few feets before getting a dashing start and jumped on the railing and grinded up the hill.

The entrance of the dome found Jason out of breath as he managed to jump off the railing and land standing up panting hard as he place a hand on his knee.

"I should never try and grind up a steep hill." Jason panted trying to regain his breath.

"How about we get you something to drink." Vivi offered.

"Vivi, we have no bodies. We can't cast magic as a ghost." Steiner pointed out.

That comment seem to put Vivi's spirit down a bit.

"You look tired," said a girl in a blue uniform jason reconized as the offical Obelisk blue uniform. "Here, take this."

She handed Jason a water bottle. Jason nodded in thanks as he opened it and drank the whole content. Behind him as a spirit, Zidane laughed at Jason's drinking habits.

"Thank you Miss..." Jason said.

"Alexis," she replied. "You're a bit late, but if you hurry, they might squeeze you in. By the way, what's your name?"

"Tanara...Jason Tanara..."

Zidane could not help himself and catcalled in Jason's ear, making his face grow red.

"You know Jason, the Alexis girl is someone you might want to date soon." Zidane said as Jason skated into the dome.

Jason managed to get to the written exam room and quickly finish his exam before rejoining the rest in the hall as he awaited his moment to shine. While waiting for his chance, Jason saw a blue haired boy looking nervously at his deck. So Jason decided to cheer him up.

"Nervous?" Jason asked.

"Yeah. My big brother is watching this match." the boy replied.

"Oh really? What's his name?" Jason asked.

"Zane." the boy replied.

"Well, I'm sure you'll do great and catch up to him. Either ways, I'm heading out to see the exam field. I'm Jason Tanara." Jason said as he got up.

"Syrus Truesdale." Syrus replied.

"Well, good luck man." Jason replied as he walked off toward the exam field.

From his seat in the exam field, Jason quickly looked looked through his deck.

"We'll make a great team Master Tanara." Steiner said.

"Maybe, but I'm not liking the effects a lot. You guys rely on spell cards for your effects. If this goes south, we could be in rough waters." Jason replied.

Jason Tanara, please report to exam field three. I repeat, Jason Tanara, please report to exam field three.

"Well, now's the moment of truth," Jason got up and skated out of his seat. "You ready?"

Zidane's group nodded.

"Let's duel."

Jason was escorted to the field, where he was met with an elderly man in yellow with what looks like a large green snake about his neck.

"Jason Tanara, is it? I'm Professor Harald. I'm your proctor and your fusion teacher at Duel Academy. I'm sure you know how this all works. You beat me in this duel, you earn the right to attend the most prestigious Duel Monsters academy in the world. If you lose, you'll just have try again next year." the fusion professor said.

"Ok then. Let's get started old man." Jason said activating his duel disk.

"You have spirit. But I will not fall easily." Harald said.

"Duel!" Both yelled as they drew their starting hand.

Jason : 4000

Harald: 4000

"I'll start this off." Jason said drawing a card.

Ok now. Let's see what you guys can do.

"You got it." Zidane declared.

"I'll start this off by playing the Field spell card Meeting Ground: Alexendria!" Jason yelled as he placed the card in the field magic slot that opened from his duel disk.

Around him, the field grew middle age buildings as the field also produced many holographic people.

"Every journey needs a begining point. The Meeting Ground field spell card allows me to play creatures related to the area and if the field spell should be destroyed, the creature stays. Another good thing about this spell card is that there is plenty of meeting grounds for my monsters. With that being said, I'll summon the first member of the party: Zidane Tribal, the Angel of Death!"

A burst of light shined from above as the tailed fighter landed with daggers out. He stood up and gave the ladies a kiss before facing Harald.

Zidane Tribal, Angel of Death: 1900/1500

"I'll play one card face down and let you go."

"Not bad." Said Harald as he drew his card. "I activate the spell card Polymerization!"

'What an irony.' Jason thought.

"I'll join my Gaia the Fierce Knight with my Curse of Dragon to summon the powerful Gaia the Dragon Champion!"

The said creatures entered a muticolored portal as a man riding a large skeletal dragon with lances out came out of the portal.

Gaia the Dragon Champion: 2600/2300

"Gaia, attack Zidane with Duo Lance Stab!" Harald ordered.

Gaia dived, ready to impale Zidane.

"Not likely! "Go trap card, What's That?!"

A coin shot up into the air and shined brightly as both Gaia and Zidane shifted into defense mode.

"What did you do?" Harald asked.

"My trap card, What's That lets me end the battle phase and force all of our monsters into defense mode. nice try though." Jason replied.

"I'll set one face-down and end my turn." Harald said.

"My turn. Draw! Now I play Vivi: the Black Mage!" Jason muttered as he drew his next card and played the drawn card.

On the field, a door opened up as the blue claded mage walked out with his staff out and walked over to Zidane.

Vivi, the Black mage: 1000/1300

"While I'm at it, I'll play the spell card, Fire! Burn 700 of his life points away!" Vivi wove his staff a bit before pointing it at Harald.

A burst of flames slammed into Harald, reducing his life points.

Jason: 4000

Harald: 3300

"Now I'll swap Zidane into attack mode and Zidane's first effect activates. Anytime he's out with an ally of his group, they both get 500 extra attack and defense points."

Zidane looked at Vivi and patted his shoulders as Vivi nodded.

Zidane, the Angel of Death: 1900/1500 = 2400/2000 Vivi, the Black Mage: 1000/1300 = 1500/1800

"Now Zidane's second effect activates. Since he is a thief, he has to be fast. He's so fast that he can attack twices in one turn. Now Zidane, destroy Gaia and take out some of Harald's life points with Dual Slash!" Jason commanded.

Zidane nodded as he ran past Gaia and Harald and jumped back to Jason's side of the field. Everyone looked confused until Gaia and Harald glowed from a slash mark. Gaia shattered as Harald lost life points.

Jason: 4000

Harald: 900

"Vivi, finish him with Staff Smash!"

Vivi ran at Harald, jumpped and slammed his staff on Harald.

Jason: 4000 Harald: 0

The holograms faded away as Zidane and Vivi returned to their spirit form as they were joined up with Dagger and Steiner.

"I take my word back. You guys are strong." Jason said.

"I know we are." Zidane replied.

"I just hope there's something that can help us return to our world." Dagger stated.

"Don't worry Queen Garnet. I'm sure Master Jason will figure something out." Steiner said.

"Wait. What do you mean I would figure something out?" Jason muttered looking at Steiner.

He was spared further comments as Harald came up to him.

"Congratulations and welcome to Duel Academy." Harald said as he led Jason off to another area.

On the balconey of the dome, Alexis watched the duel that Jason was in and smiled a bit. A man in blue walked up beside to Alexis and stopped.

"Looks like Jason's deck type is a strange one." the male said.

"Yeah. It kinda makes me wonder how he got it. Well, it doesn't matter. He and the other guy, Jaden are going to be interesting people to watch if Jaden can beat Dr. Crowler. Don't you think so Zane?" Alexis said.

"Hmph. They'll drop out in a month." Zane replied.

Jason walked up to the balconey and saw Alexis there.

"Yo. Check it out. I'm in Obelisk." Jason muttered.

"Good going." Alexis said.

Behind Jason, a few guards grabbed him.

"Ok junior. You had your fun, now return that jacket and pick up your red jacket." the guard said.

Alexis laughed as the guards dragged Jason away.

"Noooooo!" Jason yelled.

Beside him in spirit, Zidane was laughing.

"That's why you always keep moving."

"Shove it Zidane."
