Chapter 1: I play Deckmaster! Family revealed and powers awaken
It had been one week since the Sacred Beast cards had been resealed, and life had seemingly returned to normal at Duel Academy…well, as normal as it got at a school that was centered on playing cardgames.
'I'm bored…." Jaden sighed out loud. "Seriously, I could sell my boredom and retire off it right now."
"How can you be bored?" Syrus asked his best friend. "Jaden, things have finally stopped being crazy! No more Shadow Raiders, no more Sacred Beasts…and besides, you're duelling Zane in a week! That should keep you busy."
"I know Sy." Jaden mused. "But you got to admit, all that stuff was way more cool then listening to Crowler's speeches."
"No doubt about that." Chumley said as he wiped his face and fingers of Grilled Cheese.
"For once, I agree with you slacker." Chazz grumbled, inwardly puking at the notion of him and Jaden thinking the same thoughts. "Without the spirit keys and saving the world, life gets boring."
"You just sad you don't have an excuse to say 'Chazz it up.'" Bastion noted.
"Well, at least I actually did something useful against the shadow raiders." Chazz pouted.
"I did something!"
"You duelled, lost and fell in love and whined." Chazz reminded him.
Just then, Alexis and Zane joined the conversation.
"You guys might want to head down to the landing bay." Zane explained. "A jets landing."
XXXX
When a Kaibacorp plane made an unexpected landing, everyone dropped whatever they were doing and raced to see whoever was getting off and find out what they were doing. Most hoped it would be the founder of Duel Academy himself; Seto Kaiba, or his younger brother and partner Mokuba.
"This is serious business." Shepard said aloud. "Usually they give us a two minute notification. Someone must've found out about Kagemaru and the Sacred Beasts."
"Maybe now we can finally be rid of those Slifer Slackers!" Crowler giddily smiled, already seeing Jaden booted off the island and Kaiba giving Crowler a raise for his brilliant noticing that the Slifers had no place at Duel Academy. He'd be praised, given a raise….Maybe even made Chancellor! With the kind of pay that job would grant, he could finally publish his book of poetry!
"Crowler." Shepard sighed. "Three words: Get. Over. It. For crying out loud, Jaden saved the world and this school is meant to educate all, not just those with a fat wallet or inborn skills."
Pompous windbag. Crowler mumbled in his head. I'm trying to make this school grand, and he gives those slackers a chance!
Looking through the gathering crowd, he saw the object of his hate and smiled giddly, unknowingly bringing attention to the target.
"Hey Crowler!" Jaden waved. "How's it going?"
"It is going quite fine, Jaden." Crowler grit in his teeth. "Now go away and join the other students. The grown-ups have business to do."
With that, he raced after Shepard.
"Jaden, why do you do that?" Syrus asked.
"Do what?"
"Provoke Dr. Crowler." Alexis explained. "You know he hates you, right?"
Jaden thought about that; all the times he'd been threatened with expulsion, given weird duties for detention, how Crowler shrieked in anger whenever he was mentioned (you could hear that from anywhere in the Academy)….
"Huh. You're right. He totally does hate me. Oh well, I guess I just like trolling the guy." Jaden shrugged.
"….That makes way too much sense." Zane and Bastion said together.
Back at the landing strip, Crowler tried to compose himself, planning to wait for the perfect moment to launch Operation; expel the slacker version 2497.
But it wasn't Seto Kaiba who disembarked from the plane; neither was it Mokuba. Instead, two young men and a single woman emerged. They were all familiar to all who saw them, or those who followed events in the gaming world.
"Man that was one hell of a long flight! And the in-flight movie was terrible!"
"Joey, you say that about all in-flight movies." A deep voice sighed.
"Because it's true! Name one good movie we saw on an in-flight movie."
"Hitch?"
"…Okay, I'll give you that one."
The speaker and apparent leader of the group made everyone's jaw drop; gravity defying lightning like bolts erupted from his forehead, contrasting with his otherwise dark reddish hair. The other was a blonde man.
"M….M….Mr.…." Shepard and Crowler struggled together.
"Yes, I'm Yugi Moto." The man sighed, "King of games, master of duelling and blah, blah, blah. Thank you for the warm welcome, but we won't be staying long. Now…Where's my son?"
The crowd went silent. You could hear a pin drop. A breeze whooshed through the island.
Jaden, who along with his friends, and whatever that made Chazz, hadn't heard any of the conversation and had been trying to look over the heads of the crowd, tried to push his way through.
"Excuse me. Sorry. Pardon me. Coming through."
"Hey wait up!" Syrus shouted, the others following him.
Only Bastion mused; what could be happening to silence an entire crowd?
"I-I'm sorry," Chancellor Shepard said, clearing out one of his ears. "Mr. Moto…"
"Moto-Gardner." Yugi cut in, bringing the one woman in the group closer to him. "I'm married, after all."
The shapely brunette walked up and shook Shepard's hand.
"Tea Moto-Gardner." The woman smiled. "Pleased to meet you Chancellor, our son has said nothing but good things about you."
Some of the students began to talk amongst themselves.
"Tea Gardner?"
"The dancer?"
"I thought she was on tour?"
"She's married to the King of Games?"
"And she's a mom?"
Throughout all of this, Jaden and his friends kept pushing through the crowd and not hearing anything that could give them details of what was going on.
"Chancellor." Yugi said. "Please. Where's my son? I have to talk with him immediately. It's a matter of the greatest importance."
"Y-yes," Shepard said, shaking himself to reality. "Please, forgive me, it's just…rather shocking to not only have you of all people visit our school, but to hear that we had the son of our very model in our midst."
"You shouldn't be." Joey mused. "Apparently, he's making quite the name for himself."
"Following in his father's footsteps." Tea smiled before sneakily looking at her husband. "In more ways than one."
"Honey, really?" Yugi asked.
"What? Humor helps." Tea shrugged.
"Only if they get the joke." Yugi replied. "And in my defense, I was not oblivious to your feelings or mine. Just…stuff happened. Saving the world and all."
"A huh." Tea smiled knowingly, then turning back to the others. "Now, our son?'
"He must be at the Obelisk dorms!" Crowler cut in, butting in and shaking a disinterested Yugi's hand. "It's an honour to meet you three, I'm Professor…"
"Veilian Crowler, Phd in duelling." Tea cut in, clearly not impressed.
"Yeah, we know who you are, man-lady." The other man. "Ancient Gear Golem deck. Favor your blue students and treat all the others like something ya scuff off ya shoe."
Crowler would normally have objected to being called such a vulgar term, but then he realized just who this man was:
Joey Wheeler. Yugi's best friend and rival. Easily the third greatest Duelist alive, after Kaiba and Yugi himself.
"Ha…..Have I done something to offend you? And besides, surely the prince of games would be Obelisk Blue, correct?"
"No." Yugi said plainly, Tea standing close and glaring at the man with him. "My, I mean, OUR son…lives in the Slifer Red dorms. And before you say anything, you would know him Crowler; you gave him his entrance duel earlier this year…with your own deck."
Crowler's face went white as a sheet.
"No…."
"Yes." Tea smiled, enjoying seeing this man suffer.
"JADEN, GET BACK HERE!"
The boy whose name had been shouted leapt onto the airstrip, ignoring the cries of Alexis and Syrus and getting the attention of the newcomers.
A hush fell over the entire island for a full two minutes.
"M-mom?" Jaden asked perplexed. His smile then grew and he raced over to the one visitors. "MOM! DAD!"
Tea found herself wrapped in a warm hug and kissed her son's forehead. Her husband quickly joined in the hug, and found himself wrapped up in one as well.
"Looking good, kiddo." Yugi beamed
"Thanks dad."
"Hey, what about me?" Joey said. "Where's my hug?"
Jaden looked over his mom's shoulder and his smiled grew even brighter.
"UNCLE JOEY!"
While Jaden hugged his godfather, who messed with his hair, the entire island was silent for a full three minutes. That was ended with nearly every single person on the island shouting at the top of their lungs:
"JADEN YUKI IS YOUR SON?"
"Um…Yes, didn't you know that?" Yugi asked.
Shepard whipped out his communicator and started glancing down at Jaden's file. He then showed it to the assembled adults.
"He's registered here as Yuki, Jaden."
"Check the initials." Jaden said, pointing to a small box that was easy to overlook. Shepard looked at saw, boxed in no less, the letters MG.
"Let me guess." Tea sighed, looking at her son exasperation in her eyes. "You put your middle name where your last name should be and never corrected it?"
"Again?" Yugi smiled weakly.
"It was right after my duel, I was excited!" Jaden explained weakly.
"Are you sure it had nothing to do with being tired watching all those videos on building a pancake helicopter?" Tea smirked.
"Hey!" Jaden and Joey said together. "Don't diss Youtube tutorial videos! You can learn a lot from them."
Crowler than saw in the initials that Jaden had clearly entered MG…Moto-Gardner.
His world lost color and shattered as the realization came to him:
I've been trying to fail and or expel the prince of games….He realized. I've been trying to destroy the student who could've made my career…..
"Crowler?"
The professor turned to see Tea
"Y-yes, Mrs. Moto?"
"Come over here for a second."
She pulled him down and whispered.
"Don't talk, just listen….Because my son is such a sweet and kind-hearted boy, if a more than little oblivious, I'm willing to overlook all the times you tried to get him in trouble. But if you so much as think of pulling a cheap trick like what we've heard again….I will find you. And when I do, you'll find out just why no one's ever tried to use me to get to Yugi and why my stalker count is so low. Is that understood?"
Crowler whimpered.
"I said no talking." Tea smiled. "Now, acting natural in three, two, one..."
The blonde professor kept his mouth shut as Jaden introduced his parents and godfather to his friends.
"Mom, dad, these are my roommates Syrus and Chumley, Bastian from Ra Yellow, and from Obelisk Blue we have my rivals Alexis and Zane, who I'll be duelling in a week."
The assembled teens, still in shock that their friend was realted to their hero, simply bowed and mumbled inchortlty until…
"EEF!"
Everyone turned back to the plane, from which disembarked a third man; a man with tanned skin, blonde hair and carrying the Millennium Rod.
"Frig the frigger to frigging Hell! My legs are asleep and my ass is nummer than a Botox injection! This is why I hate planes! We should've taken a boat, at least that way we could move around while travelling halfway across the world!"
"Marik!" Tea admonished. "There're kids here!"
"What?" The former tomb guardian asked. "I said frig!"
"Marik?" Jaden inquired. "What're you doing here? Not to sound rude…"
"Here comes the rude…" Marik told himself.
"But shouldn't you be exploring the world?"
Marik was shocked by Jaden's question; he assumed he was going to ask why he'd left Egypt or the tomb, like practically everyone else did.
"Well, if you could direct us to where you're staying, daddy dearest here will fill in the details." Marik said. "But first…Can I get a freaking rag over here? I'm sweating up a storm…and not in the good way! I don't do well in cramped flying places!
XXXX
Three minutes later….
"…Jaden."
"Yeah mom?"
"Is this where you've been staying?" Tea asked calmly, keeping her anger to herself. "Since you got here?"
"Um, yeah, why?"
"This ain't a residence." Joey said. "It's an outhouse."
"HEY!" The slackers all shouted in offense…before realizing it was technically true.
"Why did you never challenge Crowler for a better place?" Yugi asked.
"I can do that?" Jaden asked. "I thought you just had to get good grades or win enough duels to get promoted."
"That is true." Shepard noted.
"Further proof Kaiba built this place." Marik said. "Darwinist Dick."
"Jade…" Joey started. "Living in the outhouse ain't going to keep the creepy man-lady doctor away forever."
"Indeed, slacker!" Crowler howled. "…wait, what?"
"Really Uncle Joey, it's not that bad!" Jaden assured his uncle. "We get all you can eat fried shrimp. And besides, I rock the Slifer jacket, if I changed it just wouldn't be the same."
"….That's true."
"Besides, imagine the look on Kaiba's face when he sees my son is in the lowest ranking dorm, but practically the best student." Yugi smirked.
"My report card says otherwise…" Jaden whispered to himself as the assembled group sat down in the kitchen to grilled cheese sandwhiches
"You all know that Yugi, Joey, Marik and I had…mythical experiences, right?" Tea asked, getting nods in confirmation.
"Well…." Marik tried to choose his words carefully. "You ever hear the phrase 'like father, like son?"
"Yeah?"
"Well." Marik sighed, "Put a 'un' in front of either like, and replace son with 'omnicidal megalomaniac who nearly conquered the world until he died having sex with his favorite concubine.'"
"…Isn't that Attila the Hun?" Bastion asked.
"I thought it was Ghenghis Khan." Zane said.
"Regardless!" Marik shouted. "Yugi, I believe you and your boy have some catching up to do?"
Yugi walked over to Jaden and ushered him over. They walked out the door, where Yugi let out a huge sigh and ran his hand down his face, sighing as he did so.
"What's up, dad?" Jaden asked, confused and concerned.
"As much as it pains me to say it….I need your help."
"My help?" Jaden asked, honestly surprised. "Dad, you're then king of Games, what do you need me for?"
"It's about Uncle Bakura."
Jaden went silent and stopped smiling.
"And why you can see Winged Kuriboh."
"And…something else." Tea said as she stepped out of the room as well, a look of dread on her face. "Sweetie, do you remember that card contest several years ago…?"
XXX
"Marik, are you sure this is nessacary?" Yugi asked, concern obvious in his eyes.
"Hey, if it didn't awaken to save him from somebody who quite literally wanted to rip his soul out and place it in his own body, a Shadow game is the only way it'll wake up." The Tomb Guardian said, turning to the teenage boy now strapped to a chair.
"It?" Syrus asked. "What it?"
Tea looked and saw her son's friends had followed them
"Do you know about…Duel spirts?"
Alexis and Chazz (reluctantly) nodded, their respective allies coming fourth.
"Well…watch and be amazed, if hopefully not traumatized."
"Okay, Jaden, here's how this game works. It's pretty much a staring contest meets Simon says. We'll take turns giving out orders preceded by the phrase 'copy' for the other to follow while at the same time avoiding breaking eye contact. Blinking is allowed only while doing a command. Blink before a command or during a standby and you get a strike. 3 strikes and you lose, meaning your soul is banished to the shadow realm. Got it?"
Jaden gulped and nodded weakly, his eyes closed for as long as he coud.
"Why not just attack him with yours and hope for the best? Shadow game still seems pretty intense."
"Joey!" Tea screamed. "That option doesn't sound any better!"
"What? I was just thinking out-loud."
"…" Marik though about what Joey said, let out a sigh and grumbled. "I never get to have fun anymore."
He unclipped Jaden from the chair and stepped back a bit.
"Um, Mari..?"
"Shush." The guardian hissed. "Need to concentrate. Still not a 100% sure how this works…."
All of a sudden, a Shadow game seemed like a better option.
A glow appeared around Marik, taking a sillohette before the former guardian shouted:
"WINGED DRAGON OF RA!"
The Strongest God Card's monster materialized and roared, shaking the whole island. It then leveled its eyes at Jaden, gathered fire for its beak and roared as the torrent of flames raced towards Jaden.
Winged Kuriboh leapt in front of Jaden, determined to protect his shocked master/friend.
"YOU'RE GOING TO KILL HIM?!" Syrus, Chumley and Alexis screamed at their friend's parents, only to see Tea leap in front of her son and shout out:
"DARK MAGICIAN GIRL!"
The female monster appeared at Tea's roar and tried to deflect the fire as bets she could
Suddenly, a bony arm burst from nowhere, as did two mismatched eyes and a third yellow one.
"…There it is." Yugi sighed.
A mismatched body followed the arm; a mix of grey, white and black, man and woman. A little taller than the average human
"What the heck is that?" Chazz asked,
"Not licious…" Chumley said.
"That…" Joey sighed. "Is little Jaden's personal Deckmaster."
Before anyone could inquire as to what the third best duellist meant, the creature leapt at the Winged Dragon of Ra and screeched as it attempted to slash it…
"Okay, I'm done."
The god suddenly vanished, leaving the creature shocked, confused and angry as Marik turned around and walked away….which only increased when it saw Tea.
"There, it's awake." Marik said to Yugi. "My job's done, I'm going to find some real food."
The creature, hissing and growling, walked over to Tea, who blocked its path to Jaden
"You have every right to hate me." She broke the silence. "I just wanted Jaden to be safe. I overreacted. You were protecting him in your own way….but you were doing it in the wrong wa….Look. You hate me? Fine. You hate Yugi? Fine. You hate the whole world? Fine. Just keep Jaden safe. That's all I want….It's all we both want."
The creature looked at her, then Jaden…then nodded and vanished.
"Hey mom?" Jaden asked.
"Yes?" She asked, worry in her tone.
"I'm really tired all of a sudden…"
The young duellist then lost consciousness and began sawing logs.
XXXX
A half hour later, Jaden was laid down in his bed. By then, it was close to dinnertime and the guest quarters had been prepared for the four guests.
"Mr. Moto!" Crowler hollered.
"It's Moto-Gardner." Yugi sighed. "And yes, Crowler?"
"I understand its been a long day…"
"That would be an understatement." Tea grumbled, glaring at the man.
"…but, could you please give some of my prized students a few quick tips?"
He'd assembled the best of Obelisk Blue, minus Alexis and Zane, who'd gone to check on Jaden with Syrus, Chumley and Chazz.
"You want tips on how to become the King of Games?" Yugi asked. "Sure, here's the most important tip of them all….."
The assembled listened keenly.
"Choose a different career path."
The king of Games then walked away, not bothering to look at the surprised looks on the student's faces.
"Little harsh there, weren't ya, Yug?"
Yugi turned to his best friend and let out a sigh.
"They'd thank me if they knew how I actually lived." The King of Games shrugged, pulling out his wallet and flipping to a picture that meant the world to him:
In this picture, taken by Grandpa Moto (who was still alive to this day!), Yugi held Tea in his arms underneath a Cherry Blossom tree, baby Jaden between them. The family was smiling brightly.
"Unable to get a real job because everyone thinks you're a geek or loser with no education, constantly protecting the title….
"You got that archelogy dig going on." Joey reminded his best friend. "And that manga artist is doing your story and reaping in the cash. I hear they're making an anime based off of us! It's not all that bad…"
"Not. Being. There." Yugi struggled, tears threatening to erupt. "I've missed so much of him growing up….Seems like last week he was babbling 'dada' and struggling to walk. Now…he's hitting puberty. Puberty. Soon enough, he'll meet somebody and be living as far from me and Tea as possible."
Joey simply put a hand on his best friend's shoulder and listened.
"Don't worry." He said. "We'll make it through this. I mean, we always do. And Jade? Don't worry about him; he's got it."
"…when you say don't worry, it makes me worry." Yugi sighed.

Meanwhile, somewhere deep underground, a familiar figure skyped with various others.
"Bring the boy to me alive and unharmed." He ordered. "Do with the others as you will."
"Yes, master."
He then ended the chat and turned to his most trusted man.
"What do your cards say, Sartorious?"
A tall man with blue hair shuffled through various arcana cards, drawing fourth the Strength card.
"No need to worry, I've already implanted an agent. He'll make short work of the Pharaoh and ensure the Hao's awakening, if it hasn't happened already."
His master, obscured in darkness, nodded.
"If that's the case, you can move into Duel Academy within a week. With the royalty of games preoccupied, you and your followers should meet with little resistance. Keep up the good work."
"Yes…Master Zorc."
