Episode 1-The Next King of Games
Hehe, new story. I've always wanted to do a Yu-gi-oh fanfiction. I just hope I can write a story that doesn't involve action 24/7.
Warning: Orignal cards and characters as the story goes on
Now, let's begin.
The sun shined on a bustling city below it. Weaving through the crowds of people was one of our heroes, Jaden Yuki, heading toward a large building. "Gotta run! If have a less than two minutes before the exams end!" Jaden looked forward and noticed a spikey-haired man in his way. "Watch out!" Jaden crashed into him and was sent reeling back, dropping his cards and duel disk. "Oh no!" Jaden quickly cleaned up the cards.
"Are you a duelist…?"
"Yeah, I'm going to be the best one day!"
"Oh, really…"
"Hehe…wait, aren't you…?"
The man opened his duel case and took a card hand, handing it to Jaden. "Something tells me that this card belongs to you."
"Huh? Wow, for real?!" The person walked past him. "T-thank you! Don't worry, I'll make you proud!" The person flashed him a thumb's up and kept walking. Jaden looked at the card given to him. "Winged Kuriboh huh…? …Oh no, I'm going to be late! I can't be the next King of Games if I'm late to them!" He quickly took off, running down the road once again.
"Watch out!" Jaden turned his head just as a bicycle crashed into him. "Ahh!" The boy riding the bike was sent flipping through the air and landed onto the pavement. "Oww…"
Jaden hit the grass and rolled a bit before stopping. "Ah…" He got up slowly, his back hurting from the fall and looked at the person on the ground. "Hey, you alright?"
"…"
Jaden poked him. "You alive, guy?"
He quickly sprung up. "Of course! It will take more than consecutive crashes into people to stop me!" Jaden sweat-dropped. The crasher spotted the duel disk Jaden was carrying and pointed at it. "Hey, are you going to the duel exams?"
"Yeah, why?"
"Get on! We need to get there fast!"
"W-wait!"
"Get on if you want to go to the academy!"
"…I get your point!" He helped the guy pick his bike up and quickly jumped onto the back as he pedaled off. "I'm Jaden, by the way!"
"Nice to meet ya Jaden, you can call me Joey!"
…
Once again, all Duel Academy applicants that have already passed please proceed to registration to pick up your uniform. To those who failed, better luck next year
'Yes, have fun at Duel Monsters Community College. Hmph.' Who thought this? A possible transvestite, Dr. Vellian Crowler. He watched over the duels, taking note to the people who passed their tests. In one of the duel fields, a centipede-like monster attacked a short kid with spikey blue hair that fell around his head. This was Syrus Truesdale.
"Man, if it goes on like this, there's no way I'll pass!"
Outside the building, a guard stood at the door looking at his watch. "…That's it ladies, mark all the no-shows, as no-shows."
"WAIT!!" The guard and the new girls standing next to him looked at the railing as a shadow passed over them. "Yeehaw!" Joey landed his bike on the ground and skidded. "We're here!" Jaden and Joey pumped their fist into the air in victory.
Meanwhile, in another duel field, a kid with black hair and a white jumpsuit was dueling against a proctor in a blue uniform. "Alright applicant, multiple choice! What do you do when you have two monsters staring you down! Do you A) Throw in the towel, B) Beg for mercy, or C) Run home to momma!"
"I'll go with D) None of the above! I activate my face-down trap, Ring of Destruction!"
"What?!"
"Exactly. As you see, with Ring of Destruction, I can destroy any monster on the field in attack mode, and deal damage to both of us equal to that monster's attack points." A metal ring with grenades attached to it attached to Vorse Raider, an axe-wielding beast-warrior monster with 1900 ATK points. The ring exploded, destroying the monster and dealing 1900 points of damage to both of them.
3200-1300
1900-0000
"Clever move applicant, you pass. Welcome to the academy."
"Thank you, O' wise proctor…" The boy, Bastion Misawa, bowed to the teacher.
Above them, high in the bleachers, were three boys in blue uniforms. "Hey, that kid is pretty tough, isn't he Chazz? Maybe the rumors about him being a whiz-kid are true?" He looked at his friend between him and his other friend. He had spiky black hair, and had an air around him that stank of conceitedness.
"He's a punk. We went to Duel Prep school for the past three years, we're ready for the academy. These kids don't know what they're getting into." Chazz smirked. "They'll learn. They'll learn the hard way. The Chazz Princeton way."
Jaden smiled as the duel finished. "Wow, that guy really tore it up."
"Yeah, Bastion Misawa. They say he scored the highest out of everyone in the written exam."
"Hehe, I barely passed!"
Syrus and Joey nodded. "Same."
"Oh, I'm Syrus, by the way. Nice to meet you. I got so nervous during my duel exam, I'm surprised I won…"
Jaden slapped his back. "So you passed! Congratulations! I'll be in to as soon as I pass."
Joey looked at Jaden. "Hey, don't forget me here."
"Right! You too!"
"You two haven't dueled yet? You guys might have a problem, that duel was supposed to be the last."
"…HUH?!"
Back at the teacher's area, Crowler sat, unimpressed. "Wow, I think we have a really good crop this year!" "Yep indeedy!"
"Please…"
The guard from earlier walked up to Crowler. "Sir, we seem to have a problem, two late applicants just arri-"
"Did you just call me sir?"
"I'm sorry, I'm new here Mrs.-"
"I have P.h.D in dueling, I have claimed the title "doctor," now tell those slackers to scram." Then his phone rang. "Hello? Who am I talking to?"
"This is Chancellor Sheppard! I was calling to check in on you and make sure you weren't making a repeat of last year when you kicked out a third of the applicants for calling you Mr. or Mrs. or something! Che, whatever! Just make sure you give everyone a fair shot!" Crowler hung up.
"Furry chinned wind bag…Well, he is the boss, and if he wants me to duel, then I'll give them a duel…"
"Um, Dr. Crowler, who's going to duel them, and what deck should they use?"\
Crowler smirked. "I'll take care of that…"
Meanwhile, Bastion was just sitting down when Jaden started talking to him. "Hey, that was a sweet duel!"
"Yes, thank you…"
"You must be the second best duelist here!"
Syrus, Bastion, and Joey stared at him. "Huh?"
Jaden Yuki, please report to the duel field at once. You shall duel first.
"Seems like I have to go guys! Be right back!"
Bastion stopped him. "Wait, if I'm the second best duelist here, then who's the first?"
Jaden smiled. "I am, of course!" Jaden ran down the stairs and got ready for his duel.
Joey sighed and sat down to watch. "So much self-esteem. We'll see how good he duels…"
15 minutes later…
"Go Flame Wingman! Attack with Skydive Scorcher!" A flaming creature slammed down onto a large mechanical monster.
"Noooo!" The monster broke to pieces and started falling.
"Now Wingman's effect activates, and you lose life points equal to your golem's attack points!" The pieces of the golem landed on Crowler.
Crowler: 3100-0000
Jaden grinned and danced around, waving at all the shocked people. "I won! I passed! I'm in the academy! Whoo hoo!"
2 minutes later…
Applicant 2, please report to the duel field.
Joey sighed and equipped the duel disk to his arm. "Too bad Jaden surprised everyone already. My victory won't be as good now."
Crowler stared Joey down. "I went easy on that slacker, but I'm going all out now! You lose in three turns!"
"We'll see…Now, duel!" They both drew five cards. "Ladies first."
"I'll teach you some respect, slacker!" Crowler drew a card and inspected his hand. "I set one card face down, then summon Ancient Gear Soldier (1300) in attack mode! Then I play the equip spell, Ancient Gear Cannon, to raise his attack by 600. Now he has 1900 attack points. You can go now."
"Summoning a strong monster on the first turn. Nice. I activate Pot of Greed and draw two ca-"
"Not so fast, I activate my face-down, Magic Jammer! Now, by discarding one card, I can stop your Pot of Greed!"
"Who says that was the only spell card in my hand. I play Mystical Space Typhoon, which lets me destroy your tank! Go!" The soldier and tank were surrounded by a spinning vortex and the tank disappeared.
"Fool, you've activated the effect of my tank! Now you lose 600 life points!"
Joey: 4000-3400
Crowler: 4000
"Well, it's still my turn. I set one card face down and summon Luster Dragon in attack mode! (1900)" A sapphire dragon appeared on the field. "Now attack his soldier with Azure Flare!" The dragon inhaled deep and blasted Gear Solider with blue flames.
Joey: 3400
Crowler: 4000-3400
"Your turn."
"Fine. I play the magic of Ancient Gear Garage! This let's me bring one card with Ancient Gear in its name from the graveyard to my hard. I'll pick the Gear Beast I sent to the graveyard earlier! Now, I play Ancient Gear Castle!" A large mechanical castle appeared behind Crowler and loomed over them." Now, all my monsters with Ancient Gear in their name gain 300 attack points, and when it's your turn, it gains one counter!"
"Sorry, but you've activated my face-down! I activate Ultimate Offering! Now, for the small price of 500 life points, I can normal summon a monster! I'll use its effect now and summon X-Head Cannon in attack mode (1800)!"
Joey: 3400-2900
Crowler: 3400
"That won't be enough to save you! Unfortunately, there's not much to do, so I summon Ancient Gear Solider in defense mode (1300) and end my turn."
"Alright, my go! I set one card face down, and I'll have my X-Head destroy your solider! Now Luster Dragon, attack his life points directly!"
Joey: 2900
Crowler: 3400-1500
"I end now."
Crowler drew, and he smirked. "Hehehe, seems I've won! I activate my castle's ability and send it to the graveyard to summon my Ancient Gear Beast! But I'm not done yet, I activate Cost Down! Now, by discarding a card from my hand, all my monsters in my hand downgrade two levels! For my finale, I sacrifice my beast for my Ancient gear Golem (3000)! Now go with Mechanized Melee! Destroy his cannon!" The golem launched his fist forward and shattered X-Head Cannon.
Joey: 2900-1700
Crowler: 1500
"Think you can back up my new monster?"
"Of course. I've already won."
"W-what do you mean?!"
"I activate Monster Reincarnation to bring back a monster from my hand by discarding one card! Now, I can bring back X-Head Cannon, and then summon him to the field! Now, I activate Ultimate Offering and pay 1000 life points to summon two monsters!"
Joey: 1700-700
Crowler: 1500
"I summon Y-Dragon Head and Z-Metal Tank! Now, I'll unite them with my X-Head Cannon!" The three machine monster's bodies separated, then connected to each other. "I summon XYZ-Dragon Cannon! (2800)."
Crowler started laughing. "I was actually scared there for a second! If you haven't noticed, your monster is 200 points weaker than my golem! Unless that last card of yours is an equip spell, I win!"
"Well, it might not be a spell, but…" Joey discarded the card to his graveyard and pointed at the large golem. "XYZ, destroy his golem!" The large mechanical monster prepared it's cannon and blasted a large hole through Ancient Gear Golem.
"Wait wait wait! What just happened here?!"
Syrus looked at Bastion curiously. "Yeah, what just happened?"
Bastion rubbed his chin and smiled. "It seems Crowler has forgotten to never underestimate your opponents. You see, Joey's XYZ-Dragon Cannon's effect lets him destroy any monster on the field by discarding one card from his hand. Now, Crowler is wide open for an attack."
"Go! Attack with XYZ Burst!" The cannon's mounted on his shoulder glowed brightly as it launched tow large blasts at Crowler.
"This…This can't be happening to meeeeeeeeeee!!" The blasts hit Crowler and sent him flying back.
Joey: 700
Crowler: 1500-0000
Everyone in the audience was shocked again. Joey smirked and waved one time. "I'm in."
I think that chapter went pretty well. Reviews would be nice. *wink wink*Unfortunately, Microsoft Word messed up while I was typing…again. It would've been longer, but I forgot a lot of what I typed that and it erased the beginning of the chapter, so it lost a lot of accurateness with the actual first episode.
