(Elsewhere: I HATE SCHOOL!) Sorry about that.

Jaden's going to have a past similar to Akiza's from 5Ds. I like her. When you hear about her backstory, you feel a bit sorry for her, anyway, on with the story.
Chapter 1: Welcome to Duel Academy, Destiny Angel Walker
In Domino City, everything had been peaceful since Yugi, and his friends defeated Zorc and helped Atem move on. A few years have passed since then.
Now, the real excitement is at the Kaiba Dome where young duelists would try out to get into Kaiba's new Duel Academy. Those tryouts were taking place today.
At the entrance of the dome was a guy in a dark suit and glasses and two young women in the Ra Yellow girl's uniform. It was now ten to five in the afternoon, and they were about to close up shop when they heard someone shouting.
"Hold up, partners!" Called a female voice with a western accent. "I'm not too late, am I?"
They turned to see a girl of about fifteen run up and stop at the entrance. She had waist-length black hair, purple eyes, and light tan skin. She was 5'10" with an active body structure, though that last part was hard to see due to what she was wearing.
She looked like she had stepped off a western teen movie. She was wearing a black t-shirt, faded jeans, black cowgirl boots with spurs, a black belt with a gold buckle that had a horse engraving on it, a brown "duster," and a black cowgirl hat.
The man blinked a couple of times before asking, "What's your name, applicant?"
"Destiny Angel Walker," She replied. "My flight from Dallas got delayed, so I didn't get into town until about 5:30 in the morning. I guess a slept a little late."
"Very well, Ms. Walker," The man said. "Your duel will begin shortly, so head on inside."
"Thank you, kindly." Said Destiny, tipping her hat before walking inside.
When she walked in, she went over to the rail and stood next to a blue haired boy with silver eyes and glasses wearing a blue uniform. She looked down at the fields to watch the other newcomers duel.
Only two of them caught her eye. The first was a male with slicked-back black hair and gray eyes wearing a white uniform. He had managed to get Vorse Raider into a position where it could be sacrificed to win the duel using Ring of Destruction.
The other was a boy with duo shaded brown hair and brown eyes wearing a red and black uniform. He had Valhalla, Hall of the Fallen and Court of Justice on the field. He used the former to summon Darklord Desire and finish off his opponent.
Seeing these duels made Destiny ready to get in there and show off her designer deck, the only set in the world.
Meanwhile, at the review board, the proctors were going over the last duels. Vice Chancellor Dr. Vellian Crowler headed them.
He was a tall, skinny man with long blond hair in a ponytail. If that didn't make someone question his gender, we wore purple lipstick and a blue coat with pink ruffles.
"It looks like we've got a pretty good crop this year." One of the teachers said.
"Yes, indeed." Another agreed.
Crowler was about to leave when the man from the front desk came up to him. "Excuse me, sir, but we have one more applicant who has just arrived."
"Tell them that they'll have to come back next year," He said.
"Don't be like that, Dr. Crowler," One of the teachers said. "We have time for one more duel."
"We've been having test duels since ten in the morning." Argued Crowler.
"She's from Dallas, Texas," Explained the man in the suit. "She said her flight was held up, and she didn't get into the city until quite early this morning."
Before Crowler could reply, his phone rang.
"Yes," He answered. "Who is it?"
"It's Sheppard," Said the man on the other end of the line. "Just making sure everything's running smoothly. We wouldn't want a repeat of what happened last year."
Crowler went silent at that. "When you cut a third of our applicants for some ridiculous reason. What was it, calling you Mister or Missus? Never mind, just be sure that everyone gets a fair shot."
With that, the chancellor hung up.
Crowler hung up the phone and made a decision. "I'll handle this one myself, gentleman."
With that, he left to get ready for the duel.
Destiny was talking with the boy next to her, Syrus Truesdale, when the black-haired boy came up and sat in front of him, whose name was Bastion Misawa.
"That was a great duel, Bastion." She complimented the boy.
Bastion looked at her, then turned away. "Thank you."
"Where I stand, you may just be the second best duelist here." She said with a smile.
Bastion turned to ask her what she meant, but then the PA system came on. "Destiny Walker, please report to arena one."
"Well partners, I reckon it's my turn. Wish me luck." Destiny was about to go when Bastion stopped her.
"Hold on. If I'm second best, who's first?"
She smirked. "Yours truly."
She then turned to Syrus, taking off her duster and tossing it to him. "Say, sugar, can you do me a favor and watch my duster for me?"
"S-Sure." Syrus stuttered lightly.
Destiny then made her way to the arena, not noticing that the brunette applicant was watching from the shadows of the stadium.
She looked over her deck on last time, before shuffling and placing them in her duel disk. "Alright, time to show off the power of my herd."
Her platform rose to the playing field, where she faced Dr. Crowler, who was going to use his own, personal deck. "So, dear, your name?"
"Destiny Angel Walker, but everyone just calls me Destiny." The cowgirl replied, tipping her hat.
"Well, Destiny, are you ready to duel?"
"You bet. If you don't mind, I'll let you take the first move." Destiny said confidently, surprising the audience.
"Why did she do that?" Syrus asked.
"I'm not quite sure." Bastion replied.
Our mystery boy also narrowed his eyes. 'What is that girl up to?'
Crowler: 4000
Destiny: 4000
Crowler drew his card. "I'll start this off nice and easy, and play the spell card Confiscation."
Crowler: 3000
Destiny: 4000
"This allows me to take a peek at your hand, and then send one of your cards to the graveyard." As he said that, holographic images of Destiny's cards appeared in front of him.
However, when he saw the cards in her hand, he gave her a look. "I don't recognize any of these cards."
Destiny smirked. "That's because they're one of a kind."
Crowler quickly regained his composure, checking the cards carefully before making a decision.
"I send Monster Reborn to the graveyard." He said, and the hologram of that card shattered.
"Next, I play two cards face down and activate the spell, Heavy Storm. This card destroys my two face-down, which happen to be two Statue of the Wicked Cards trap cards, so I get two Wicked Tokens." Two worm-like creatures appeared in front of him.
"Now, I sacrifice them both to summon the all powerful Ancient Gear Golem!" The two tokens vanished and in their place stood a rusted metal giant (3000/3000).
"No way!" Gasped a girl with long blond hair wearing the Obelisk girl uniform. Her name was Alexis Rhodes. "He summoned his most powerful card on his first turn!"
The boy next to her just stared. He had shoulder length dark blue hair and navy eyes wearing the third year Obelisk uniform. His name was Zane Truesdale, the older brother of Syrus Truesdale and the top duelist at Duel Academy. "Let's see how our cowgirl handles this."
"Wow, she's staring that thing down like she doesn't have a care in the world!" Syrus said in awe.
Bastion was also impressed but he didn't voice it.
A boy with spiky black hair and gray eyes wearing the Obelisk uniform was also watching the duel. His name was Chazz Princeton. On his left was lackey number 1, Taiyou Maki, who had blue hair with glasses, and on his right was lackey number two, Raizou Goki, who had spiky brown hair.
The lackeys were going back and forth on how she had no chance because Crowler was using his real deck. Chazz was just smirking as he watched the duel, wishing that Crowler had treated all the other duelists the same way.
"I'm impressed," Crowler stated with slight arrogance. "Not many get the chance to see the Ancient Gear Golem in battle."
"I see a giant rust bucket set up to get knocked down." Replied Destiny, a smirk ever present on her face.
Everyone gasped at her statement.
"My turn," Continued Destiny, drawing her card. "First, I summon Ice Pegasus in attack mode."
A spire of ice came out of the floor and then shattered to reveal a white pegasus with ice-like wings, ice blue eyes, and icicles on its mane and tail (1800/1600).
"Next, I'll activate his special ability. I can special summon another Pegasus to the field from my hand, so I'll summon Shadow Pegasus." Destiny's shadow extended outward in front of her and a pegasus made completely of shadows with large wings and glowing green eyes appeared (2100/1100).
"Now, I'll play the spell card Double Summon to bring out Fire Pegasus." A pillar of fire erupted on the field and out of it came a pegasus covered in white and blue flames (1600/1500).
"Last, I'll play the spell card Shadow and Fire," A card with a pegasus surrounded by darkness and fire appeared. "By sacrificing one DARK monster and one FIRE monster, I can special summon Shadowfire Pegasus!"
Both Shadow Pegasus and Fire Pegasus disappeared and appearing in their place, out of a column of black flames, was a pegasus that was half red and half black (3800/3000).
"Finally, I'll activate his special ability! One per turn, I can reveal the top five cards of my deck, shuffle them back in, and then this bad boy can attack for every Pegasus monster I send back to my deck," She took the top five cards of her deck, looked at them, and smirked. "And what do ya know, two of them are Pegasi!"
Crowler was freaking out by this point, realizing she was about to win the duel in one turn. "I can't believe it! I lost to a new student?!"
"Go, Shadowfire! Attack with Black Flame!" Destiny called out.
Shadowfire flew up into the air and dived down at Crowler's Golem, surrounded in black flames, destroying it.
Crowler: 2200
Destiny: 4000
Then, Shadowfire landed in front of the good doctor, letting loose a powerful flame storm. He screamed as he lost the rest of his life points.
Crowler: 0
Destiny: 4000
Shadowfire and Ice vanished and Destiny let out a cheer, pumping her fist in the air.
Chazz and his lackeys were dumbfounded, especially Chazz. "It must be dumb luck! No way Crowler would lose to some newbie, especially not to an OTK!"
"Wow, that girl has a future here!" Alexis said with a smile.
Zane just walked away, but he was thinking the same thing. About both Destiny and one of the other applicants.
"An OTK," An amazed Bastion said. "That's quite the girl. I could use the competition."
"Yay! Way to go, Destiny!" Syrus cheered.
Destiny was coming up the stairs when she felt someone watching her. She looked around and her purple eyes connected with the brown eyes of the brunette she saw dueling earlier.
They stared at each other for a few seconds before the boy turned away, but not before Destiny noticed pain in his eyes. Destiny also turned and continued over to where Syrus and Bastion were, both of whom seemed to notice the change in her mood.
"Is something wrong, Destiny?" Bastion asked.
She answered with a question of her own. "Say, Bastion, who was that other boy who was dueling at the same time as you?"
"Oh, that was a chap called Jaden Yuki. I actually heard quite a few rumors about him." Bastion said in a serious tone.
"Like what?" Syrus asked.
"Oh, things like 'he's a warlock or a demon.' I don't believe a word of it." Bastion dismissed, though he was still serious.
Hearing this, Destiny looked back over at where she saw him only to find him gone. She thought back to the look she saw in his eyes and wondered if there was more to the story.
'Well, now I have another goal while at Duel Academy. Become the best and find the real Jaden Yuki.'
Jaden was already outside and heading to his house, thinking about that girl he saw. She was a strong duelist, but could also tell she was going to come looking for him. And like all the others, he wasn't going to let her anywhere near his heart.
'I'm only going because my parents are sending me there. It will never be a fresh start and no one will make me say it is.' He thought, automatically wiping a few tears from his eyes and continued on his way
And that's the end of that one. Until then read and review, nice things. See ya.
