Yu-Gi-Oh GX Unlocked

A/N: Hey everyone! So I'm going to start by saying that I'm not planning on making this a full story but I will if a good number of you want me to. This is a Self-Insert One-Shot in which my character, Rasa, will participate in an entrance duel for Duel Academy using an original deck. This original deck is based around the Kingdom Hearts series and I've actually fleshed out a full archetype with many monsters, spells, and trap cards but since this is the entrance duel, I didn't want to go all out with the deck's full power plays. Again, if enough people want to see more of this Kingdom Hearts themed deck piloted by my character, I will at least write out Rasa in a few more major duels.

Now for those of you who are a bit skeptical about this Kingdom Hearts themed deck, let's be honest. Yu-gi-oh GX was basically a fanfic of the original story that made it to manga and TV and if Jaden got to use his favorite thing in a deck, then I'll do the same. Anyways, let's get into it!

Entrance Exam

All over the room there were, beasts releasing primal growls and howls, and blades being crossed. Was anyone in any real danger, though? Not really. All of the battles going on were virtual depictions of fights between two people in a card game. The name of this game…Duel Monsters.

It was the day of the entrance exams for Duel Academy, the most prestigious learning institute that helped students become better duelists in the hopes of entering the professional circuit. The exams were taking place in a dome structure with several designated fields that were separated by walls on each side and surrounded by rows of bleachers.

A boy with raven hair sat in the bleachers, waiting to be called for his exam. Although there were a lot of interesting duels going on, the majority of them were rather simple so the hour that he had to wait for his turn had taken its toll on his patience. He let out a yawn and rubbed the drowsiness out of one of his eyes before leaning back and kicking up his feet on the seat in front of him.

"Drillroid attack his monster!"

A vehicle with large cartoonish eyes above its drill rammed into the opposing monster, destroying it immediately. The exam proctor's life points dropped slightly from the battle but the blue-haired examinee had one more monster to attack with. The boy pushed his circular glasses up his nose and called out his final attack.

"Steamroid, attack him directly!"

Next to Drillroid was a cartoonish train monster that started chugging across the field with steam fuming from its boiler pipe. It rammed into the proctor, reducing his life points to zero and ending the duel.

It isn't often that someone who loses a duel is happy with the other person but this proctor looked genuinely happy for this boy to have won his duel.

"Congratulations, Syrus!" he said. "You've made it into Duel Academy!"

"I-I did?!" the boy asked in disbelief.

"Yeah, you had a rocky start but you did pull through so you did well. Make sure to report to the counter near the entrance to get your blazer and show them this." He scribbled on a piece of paper and handed it to Syrus.

Afterwards, the boy ran off to the front counter while the proctor waited for the next student to be called into his field.

Over the intercom, a lazy, dull voice said, "Rasa Shitoku, report to Duel Field One. Rasa Shitoku, report to Duel Field One."

With that, the raven-haired boy went down underneath the duel field like he had been instructed when he arrived to the building and used a raising platform to enter the field.

"Rasa?" the proctor asked.

"Yes sir. That's me."

"My name's Jace Muller, one of the teachers at Duel Academy. I'll be your exam proctor for today." He handed Rasa a practice duel disk and patiently waited for the raven-haired boy to get ready for the duel. Both players shuffled their decks and exchanged them for cutting before placing them in their respective duel disks and taking their places at opposite ends of the field.

"Duel!"

Rasa: 4000
Jace: 4000

-Turn 1-

Rasa drew five cards and then pulled a sixth card from the top of his deck. "Draw!"

Rasa: 6 Cards

He analyzed his hand, wondering what the best play would be. He had drawn into one of the best spell cards in his deck so he activated it immediately.

"From my hand, I activate the Continuous Spell card, Dive to the Heart!"

The ground in front of Rasa began to peel off into paper-like pieces that fluttered off into the air and a circular glass-stained mosaic was left. Light seemed to illuminated from it as it presented the image of a boy with spiky brown hair and a key-shaped weapon in his hand against a blue background with images of two other people and what seemed to be an anthropomorphic duck and dog.

Rasa: 5 Cards

Next, I summon Key Keeper Sora in attack position–"

Rasa 4 Cards

A rectangular shape flashed in front of Rasa before a form emerged from it. The monster appeared to be a the same young man from the mosaic except with a different set of clothes. Whereas in the mosaic, he wore red shorts, yellow shoes, and a white jacket; he sported in his monster form, a primarily black outfit with countless straps and zippers scattered throughout. He wielded the same club-like weapon that was in the shape of a cartoonish key with a crown mold on as the teeth near the very tip and a yellow rectangular guard around the blue hilt. The boy casually kept the weapon resting on his shoulder.

(Key Keeper Sora / Normal Monster / Light / Warrior / Level 3 / 1300 / 1200)

"And in doing so, my spell card activates. When I normal or special summon a Key Keepers monster, I can equip it with a Keyblade Equip Spell card that it can be equipped with directly from my deck so I'll equip Sora with Keyblade – Star Seeker."

The yellow and silver weapon was replaced in a flash of light by another key-shaped weapon, except this one was curved and sported a night sky motif.

"A monster equipped with Star Seeker gains 300 attack points bringing Sora up to 1600. I'll set one card and end my turn."

Rasa: 3 Cards

"Draw!"

Jace: 6 Cards

"I'll activate a spell card called Foolish Burial which lets me send one monster from my deck to the graveyard.

Jace: 5 Cards

"The one I choose is Peten the Dark Clown and when it goes to my Graveyard, I can banish it from the grave to special summon another Peten the Dark Clown from my deck."

A rectangular shaped flashed in front of the exam proctor as well except the position was perpendicular to him and the monster that emerged from the light kneeled with his arms crossed over his chest, indicating that he was in defense position.

(Peten the Dark Clown / Effect Monster / Dark / Spellcaster / Level 3 / 500 / 1200)

"Next, I sacrifice my Peten the Dark Clown to tribute summon Des Volstgalph in attack position!"

Jace: 4 Cards

(Des Volstgalph / Effect Monster / Earth / Dragon / Level 6 / 2200 / 1700)

"I declare an attack with Des Volstgalph and when I do, I activate a Quick-Play spell card from my hand, Rush Recklessly, which increases the attack of my monster by 700. On top of that, Des Volstgalph's effect increases its attack by 200 when a Normal or Quick-Play spell card is activated."

Jace: 3 Cards

"3100?!" Rasa kept his left arm before him in a defensive stance though he stood his ground against the large dragon.

"Des Volstgalph, attack his monster!"

The dragon flapped his wings and rose into the air before opening its mouth to unleash a blast of brown and black flames at the brunet warrior. As the stream neared his monster, Rasa activated his face-down, a Quick-Play spell card called Aeroga.

The face-down card behind Sora lifted to reveal a teal green card with the image of a cartoonish cyan-colored tornado.

"With Aeroga, I target one face-up Key Keepers monster that I control and until the end of this turn, it cannot be destroyed."

A spiraling whirlwind kicked up around Sora, keeping him inside its eye.

"Your monster may not be destroyed but you'll still take damage and because you activated a Quick-Play, my monster's attack goes up to 3300."

The flame engulfed Sora and the tornado that surrounded him before the winds dispersed the flames, leaving the warrior unharmed. Rasa on the other hand, took 1700 points of damage.

Rasa: 2300
Jace: 4000

"I have no more monsters to attack with so I'll end my turn."

Rasa: 4 Cards

"Then it's my turn so I draw!" Rasa looked at the card he drew but dismissed it entirely and picked a different card from his hand to activate. "I activate the spell card, Firaga!"

Rasa: 3 Cards

"While I control a face-up Key Keepers monster, I can target one monster you control and destroy it."

Sora aimed his Star Seeker Keyblade at the dragon and shot a condensed ball of fire from it. Although it did not seem like much, the tiny spark erupted into an explosion of flames when it hit Des Volstgalph's chest, reducing the monster to many virtual light particles.

Rasa: 2300
Jace: 1600

Rasa continued speaking, "When I destroy your monster with Firaga's effect, I inflict damage to your life points equal to your monsters and since I activated a spell card, your monster's attack increased to 2400 just before it was destroyed. Now that you're defenseless, I'll attack you directly with my monster. Sora, finish this duel with Starlight Slash!"

Parting his legs into a crouching stance with his weapon held low and pointed away from his opponent, Sora pushed off and charged Jace. As he swung his sword through the exam proctor, an arc of light trailed behind it, and the man's life points dropped to zero.

Rasa: 2300
Jace: 0

DUEL ENDS

As Jace recovered from the shock of having a sword swung through him, (no matter how many times an attack came at him, he never got used to it) he walked towards Rasa with a wide grin.

"I'm impressed. Honestly, I am. You managed to beat me in only three turns. That's actually the record today for students going first in the duel."

With a quirked eyebrow, Rasa asked, "Someone's beaten you in less?"

"Yeah, there was this one student who managed to beat me in one and he was going first."

The look on Rasa's face told him all he needed to know. Jace wrote on a piece of paper and handed it to Rasa before sending him on his way to receive his jacket.

A/N: Anyways, that's it! I hope you enjoyed and I'd really appreciate it if you could leave a review to let me know what you think about the way I write out a duel. Thanks for reading!
