All right, I decided to do the sequel to when Dai and Jaden enter their second year. Don't worry; I'll pick up the third part of the series later, only with spelling corrections. I hope you enjoy the sequel to Miracles and Shadow Games: Darkness and Miracles.
Hey guys, it's a new year at Duel Academy and Jaden, Bastion, Syrus and I left our digimon in the Digital World for the year so Kotemon and Cupimon could get used to it.
After all, they have mostly been in the Human World since they were born and they needed to get back to their native roots while we all focused on school.
Anyway, when we first get back to school, you know what happened?
We found out that Sheppard left Crowler as the new Chancellor until he returned to the school.
Ra have mercy on us all.
Oh, and he had a new partner in crime named Bonapart, a short fat French guy who enjoys using frenglish.
You know, it's when someone uses French and English words in the same sentence.
Anyway, everyone's doing great, but Ken is mad because I told him that he couldn't come to Duel Academy in case more Shadow Games come up.
He'll get over it, especially since he's going to a great school in England with Willis to study so they can get into one of the Ivy League schools.
Atticus still goes to school at the Academy to make up the years he was gone as Night Shroud while Zane has graduated and is in the pro-leagues now, getting himself fan girls and boys from all over.
"Hey, kid, I don't know who you are, but let's duel. Oops, wrong catch phrase. What I meant to say was, get your game on." Jaden chuckled.
"Day one and Jaden's already dueling, but with who?" Dorothy asked as she pet Pharaoh while Syrus and Dai sat next to her on the cliff overlooking the two boys.
"Beats me, but he definitely looks familiar." Syrus said.
"So, what's your name, Freshmen?" Jaden asked as he and the boy readied their duel disks.
"You can call me AP." He nodded.
"All right, Ap, let's throw down." Jaden said.
"AP is an acronym, Ju-chan, not his actual name." Dai called down to him as she casually swung her legs.
"Dai, do you know who he is?" Syrus asked as the sunlight shone off his white Crest.
"No, not really, but he does look familiar." Dai blinked as her Eye of Horus necklace, that was converted into a bracelet, was on her right wrist and her gold and blue Crest was around her neck.
"Okay, ya ready, Freshmen?" Jaden asked as his purple and black Crest glinted around his neck.
"Bring it." the silverette said.
Chazz and Alexis then walked up behind the small audience.
"Wow, Jaden doesn't waste any time does he?" Alexis asked.
"It figures he'd challenge a Freshmen." Chazz commented.
"Actually, that guy challenged him. He just showed up at our dorm room and was all 'I'm here to throw down with the best duellist in the whole academy. And from what I hear, that's Jaden Yuki'. And that brings us here. Now, take a close look. I could swear I've seen that guy before." Syrus said.
"You're right." Alexis spoke up.
"Yeah, he does look familiar." Chazz blinked.
"Hey, Chazz, maybe he graduated from that snooty prep school of yours." Dorothy suggested.
"He's got the looks for it." Dai smirked.
"Look, he's nothing like me." Chazz interjected.
"Ojama Yellow in DEF mode!" the silverette summoned making Chazz yelp and fall to the ground in shock.
"Ojama? Are you sure?" Jaden asked confused.
"I told you we're not alike. That's gotta be one of the dumbest moves I've ever seen. I would never start out with a lame card like that." Chazz said as he stood up.
"You save the best for last, right boss, right?" Yellow asked as he appeared next to Chazz.
"Wrong, now beat it, pit stain." Chazz said.
"I love it when you use my pet name." Yellow gushed as he faded away.
"Excuse me?" Alexis demanded thinking the Raven Slifer had insulted her.
"Oh, uh, nothing." Chazz grinned as Dai snickered.
"Whatevs. Anyway, I wonder what else he has in his deck." Alexis mused as Chazz glared at his deck.
"Not much I bet." Dorothy frowned.
"Wait, how do you know that?" Syrus asked.
"It's simple. He just assembled that deck this morning from random cards at the campus card shop. He came in asking for cards and said that he could assemble a deck with just about anything. It wasn't much, but he said it was a temporary deck for a little test. It's true." Dorothy insisted.
"Give me a break. Who duels with left over cards?" Chazz sneered.
"That guy." Alexis pointed out.
"Guys, I'm trying to watch." Dai held her hands up to silence them when Ojama was destroyed by Sparkman.
"Wow, I guess it's true. You are as good as they say." The silverette rubbed the back of his head sheepishly.
"Thanks for the props, but when you play cards like Ojama Yellow, you don't exactly make it too tough." Jaden smiled.
"He's right." Cahzz smirked down at Syrus.
"What'd you do, take lessons from Chazz or something?" the child of Darkness joked.
Syrus chuckled as Chazz fell to the ground in disbelief.
"Let's try this again shall we? I'll place this facedown and-"the silverette was cut off by a beeping noise.
"What's the deal?" Jaden blinked.
"It's cool, just my cellphone!" the silverette called cheerfully as he pulled the device out of his coat pocket and then answered it.
"It's me. What up?" he answered.
Jaden groaned in anger as he gritted his teeth while everyone stared with gaped mouths in disbelief.
"Nah, I'm not busy at all." The rude Freshmen said making Jaden growl inulted.
"Who whips out a cellphone in the middle of a duel? That's obnoxious." Chazz shook his fist.
"Yeah, no joke, he really is like you, Chazz." Syrus narrowed his eyes as everyone glared at the boy.
"Calm down. He's a Freshmen. You were a crazy kid like him last year, Judai." He tried to calm him down from acting rash and violent like the women in his family.
"That is no excuse for him doing something so disrespectful, Judai!" Dai yelled down at her cousin.
"No kidding. Who does he think he is?" the Obelisk Queen frowned.
"You know, I didn't even think we got reception out here." Jaden said.
"That's right. Yeah, I'm dueling him right as we speak." The silverette confirmed to whoever he was speaking with.
"Want me to barbeque him? I'll barbeque him." Agunimon offered.
"So, any last minute words of advice?" the boy asked the person on the phone.
"Shut up and continue the duel before you get murdered." Kazemon quipped.
"Absolutely, thanks for the call." He smiled as he then hung up.
"All right, get your phone off and your game on." Jaden said.
The duel then continued on, the new boy showing off that he had been playing weak in the beginning and was showing that he wasn't a rookie.
This excited Jaden as he got into the duel more now and even gave advice to the boy, but he was ignored and the silverette questioned Jaden why he thought the Freshmen asked him for a duel.
He revealed it was because he heard that the Slifer King was the best and that he wanted to test him much to Jaden's disbelief.
Dai got annoyed due to the boy talking about destiny deciding the fate of the duel and it sounded idiotic to her.
During the duel, the boy, AP as he called himself, said that their lives were decided for them the day they were born; those who were born losers and those who were born legends.
Everything about him was strange and curious, especially when AP's monsters were taken out, he had a smirk on his face, even after he had a triple attack wagged on him and he lost.
"That's game!" Jaden cheered.
He then walked over to the kneeling boy.
"Hey, uh, I hope my triple threat didn't rock ya to hard." He said worried.
"Nah, I'm fine. Nice game." AP smiled as he stood up.
"Right on. You had some pretty sweet moves. Not bad, for a Freshmen that is." Jaden gave his signature stance at the boy in good nature.
"Thanks." AP said.
"You just keep on practicing, kid. Maybe you'll even be a legend someday. You know, like me." Jaden grinned.
Rolling her eyes at her cousin, Dai pushed herself off of the cliff making her friends yelp in worry, as she dropped to the ground and landed next to her cousin.
"You've spent far too much time with your father. His arrogance is rubbing off on you." the child of Miracles commented playfully as she flicked her cousin's forehead.
"Sorry about him. I'm Daisuke, by the way." She smiled and held her hand out to the silverette.
She had to admit, he had the most gorgeous blue eyes she had ever seen, but she felt as though there was something off about him.
Smiling, the boy took her hand in his and lifted it to his mouth, placing a chaste kiss on her knuckles much to her surprise.
"Please meeting you." he nodded at her before turning and walking off.
"See ya around, Ap!" Jaden called as he waved.
The boy then walked up the cliff and nodded at Chazz, Syrus, Alexis and Dorothy politely before he walked off.
"Don't be a stranger, stranger." Dorothy said playfully.
Laughter could be heard as they saw Jaden had thrown Dai over his shoulder and was carrying her up the cliff, both cousins having matching smiles.
"So, what'd you guys think about my first duel of the year? It was pretty sweet, huh? Well, spill it." Jaden said as he walked up to them.
"You rocked. Way to play, Jay." The child of Loyalty complimented.
"Anyone who thinks you're a legend isn't the sharpest tack in the box." Chazz commented.
"Maybe, but he was kind of cute." Alexis grinned mischievously in Dai's direction making the girl stick her tongue out at her.
"Uh, didn't notice. Anyway, I'm sure we haven't seen the last of Ap." Jaden said as he placed his cousin down on her feet.
"Hey, wait. He said his name was AP." Syrus said curiously.
"Huh?" Chazz asked as Syrus knelt down and started looking for something in his backpack.
He pulled out a red book and flipped through the pages until he found something.
"I knew it. He's Aster Phoenix!" Syrus announced as he stood up.
"Okay, so he's got a weird name." Jaden said.
"Jaden, think. Aster Phoenix is the number one duelist in the world league. As in, he's a pro." Alexis informed.
"You're kidding me." Chazz gasped as everyone stared at the picture of Aster to confirm his identity.
"I mean, of course. You didn't know that?" Chazz tried to save face by playing it off as though he already knew.
"It looks like the pro took some schooling from the student." Jaden smiled.
"Uh, Jaden." Dorothy said making everyone look at her.
"I should probably tell you, that wasn't Aster's real deck. He put it together this morning." She stood up holding Pharaoh.
"He what? You mean, I just dueled a guy…who was using leftover cards?" Jaden sulked.
"Cheer up." Syrus grinned.
"At least you won." Alexis said.
"That's right, you legend you." Chazz sneered.
"Oh, yeah. You're right. And now I have a rematch to look forward to. Hey Aster, this game is still on!" Jaden cheered.
Rasping was heard making Dai turn to see Baby Dragon make his first appearance to Duel Academy, the small orange dragon looking around with curious blue eyes.
Chazz saw the dragon who then flapped over to his new master and sat on her head with a toothy grin and the Raven Slifer concluded that the Slifer Queen's mother, Joey Wheeler, must have given her the card.
"All right, I'm hungry. Let's get going." Dai stretched her arms out over her head.
Winged Kuriboh appeared and cooed in greeting to Baby Dragon who smiled at him and rasped at the creature, the two monsters having a conversation of their own.
"Great idea. Let's get going. Of course, you know that without a teacher for the Slifer Dorm, you'll have to cook, right?" Jaden commented as the group started walking off.
"Well, at least I'm a better cook." Dai joked.
The group all then returned to their own dorms, Alexis going off to the girl's Obelisk Dorm while Dorothy went to her shack and Dai, Jaden, Syrus and Chazz went to the Slifer Dorm, Pharaoh mewing as he trotted after them.
