Yu-Gi-Oh DA

by Youngbountygirl

There is a school for Duelist Champions called Duel Academy divided into three ranks: Obelisk for honor students, Ra for students that passed their exams, and Slifer for students with close-to-failing grades. Jaylin Yuki enters the school and discovers legends, danger, and Shadow Games that could end her life. There also seems to be a secret she carries concerning her father.

1. Duelist Champion Jaylin Yuki

Being that I'm done with my At-Em-Oh series, I probably shouldn't continue another story after this, but... this one kinda follows the same where there might be stories following this one. If I have enough following and a fan base, I will continue on after this. Now, to let you guys know, this DOESN'T take place after At-Em-Oh. In fact, you'll see that very soon later on, if I have enough audience to continue this, because this will equal to four books.

This will be based off of the anime, compared to At-Em-Oh. I apologize to my young readers, but when doing At-Em-Oh, I at least had complete scans of the season 0 version and Duelist Kingdom (before I finally found a site where I got the whole bit, besides Yugioh R). Here, I can only get a few chapters. Besides that, I kinda grew up with the anime version, so yeah. Though, I will be more creative with this. I also will have this have the manga flavor, since it is better and not as goofy. I'm also going to change a few things, so it can make more sense and to be a little creative. Review please!

All the students were gathering up at the Kaiba Dome for their entrance exam to enter Duel Academy, known for its strongest Duel Monsters champions and scholarships. Seto Kaiba had finally decided to create an academy for strong duelists, so that they may be provided with the best education they would need like Math, History, Science and so forth. The school was split into three ranks: the Obelisk Blue students were honor students with superior grades in middle school, the Ra Yellow students were students that passed their entrance exams, and the Slifer Red students were students that had low grades, but their strong dueling skills were enough to keep them in the school as long as their grades don't reach pass expulsion by the first semester.

The kids entering for their entrance exams had to focus on passing, if not, only their dueling skills depended on them staying at the academy or not. At this point, being a strong duelist meant more than just the scholarship, it also meant staying at Duel Academy. It was a school for strong duelist, not weak ones, and everyone knew this.

All the students entered inside just as the last person to arrive zoomed on her bike, almost threw it down, then ran up the stairs panting.

"Sign me up! I'm... entering... too," said a young girl with sweat on her face, panting heavily.

"Here's your number, Miss," the guy at the registration table replied, giving the girl her number.

"Thanks!"

The young girl entered into the Kaiba Dome, still panting heavily and feeling extremely hot from all the peddling she did when riding her bike. She continually cursed herself for oversleeping, especially after Dad told her over and over again that she can NOT be late for this. This was her only moment to enter this academy that her dad paid an arm and a leg for.

The girl caught up with the other students, who were waiting in the hall circling the Kaiba Dome. She sat in one of the seats available outside of the entrance. She rested her arms on her legs, covered by jeans except the knee rip holes. She wore a red midriff, that reached right above her belly button, under a black jean jacket that reached passed her waist, a red sweatband on each wrist that matched the color of her fingernail polish, and a black choker with a glass diamond in the middle. She had brown hair that almost reached passed her shoulders with highlights, smooth and a little puffed from electricity and the running. Under her long bangs were light brown or hazel eyes. Thin glossed lips were noticed, while she was panting.

"Hi," a girl next to the panting girl greeted. "You okay? You look like you were running a marathon."

"I'm fine... just overslept is all," the panting girl replied, giving out her fun-loving smile before wiping the sweat from under her bangs with her sweat band. "Name's Jaylin Yuki... You?"

"Alexis Rhodes," Alexis replied. She wore a white buttoned blouse and a blue skirt with black high heels.

"ATTENTION ALL STUDENTS, PLEASE REPORT TO YOUR ROOMS FOR YOUR ENTRANCE EXAMS! NUMBERS 0-100 PLEASE REPORT TO ROOM A, NUMBERS 101-200 PLEASE REPORT TO ROOM B, NUMBERS 201-300 PLEASE REPORT TO ROOM C, AND NUMBERS 301 AND OVER PLEASE REPORT TO ROOM D!" The announcer called.

"Guess that means us," Alexis said as her and Jaylin got up from their seats along with everyone else.

"Guess so," Jaylin replied with her fun-loving smile as everyone entered into their rooms to take their entrance exam.

After the exams, Jaylin and everyone else had to wait at the auditorium for their numbers to be called to test their dueling. She had to wait as all four sections of the Kaiba Dorm showed the students dueling against the different teachers at Duel Academy. Nobody could see the duels, since each section was covered by curtains surrounding each section. Jaylin sat and waited for her number to be called, which was 410. Being the last to arrive, she was the last to be called.

"I shoulda listened to Dad. I'm such a dumbass!" Jaylin complained, feeling stupid. She heard ringing on her cell phone right after she spoke. She looked at the caller ID, then answered the call. "Hi Daddy!"

"Hey there, Princess. Did you make it on time?" Jaylin's father replied.

"Barely. I totally overslept again."

A sigh was heard from the other line, replying, "Jaylin, we've been through this before. You can't be getting ready at the last minute."

"I know, I'm sorry, Daddy. I promise with sugar on top this will never happen again."

"... Anyways, what's it look like there?"

"It's a full crowd, I can tell ya that! We had to be split into four groups when taking the exams."

"Did you bring your ID and deck?"

"Yep. Got it right here!" Jaylin replied, getting out her deck filled with Elemental HERO's. "Damnit, I forgot to remodify it!"

"You'll do fine, Princess. Besides, they score your dueling based on your skill, not whether you win or lose."

"Yes, but I wanted to show off my Terra Firma!"

A laugh was heard on the other line. Jaylin hearing her father say, "Oh no, don't wanna forget about him."

"I love Terra Firma. He's my favorite Elemental HERO monster."

"You can showoff Terra Firma to the class after you pass your exams and make it to the academy. I mean, you're not gonna be at Duel Academy for a week anyways."

"Yeah... about that..."

"You didn't study either?" Her dad asked in a monotone voice.

"Nope."

A sigh was heard before, "your dueling skills should put you in the school, but after this, I wanna see good grades. You're better than this, Jaylin. Kaiba will not tolerate slackers."

"I know."

"Anyways, good luck on your duel."

"I will, Daddy. Hugs and kisses. Bye!"

"Bye Princess."

Jaylin hug up, then blew her bangs into the air, listening for her number. She leaned against her chair and decided to rest her eyes for a while, especially since the auditorium had individual chairs instead of benches. She was tired from having to wake up eight in the morning. She wasn't used to this, even when she did have to wake up earlier when she was in middle school. She almost jumped when she heard her phone ring again. She grabbed for it and answered it.

"Hello?" Jaylin answered.

"Did you leave your bike unparked!?" Her father asked seriously.

"Oops. I'll go-"

"No, I'll park it. You need to keep track of your stuff or someone's gonna steal them, sweetheart."

"NUMBER 410 in section 4! NUMBER 410 IN SECTION 4!" The announcer called right when the fourth section showed Jaylin's number.

"Oh, gotta go! My number has just been called," Jaylin said, running on her way to the section in the large Kaiba Dome, covered by a large gray curtain, which read 4. She hung up the phone and crammed it in her pocket before running behind the curtain of section 4.

Jaylin saw the teacher she was going to duel against. He wore a blue Obelisk blue uniform with a light pink ruffled collar, which also showed appeared surrounding his wrists under his blue uniform jacket. There was a rather large duel disk on his arm and his deck stacked in the holder strapped to his chest. His hair was blond and tied in a ponytail, had white skin, and seem to wear purple lipstick.

"Alright, it's test time!" The teacher announced. It took every ounce of strength to prevent Jaylin from laughing at this guy. He looked like some sort of circus clown gone wrong. "So... your name?"

"Jaylin Yuki, sir," Jaylin replied, biting her bottom lip to prevent herself from laughter.

"Well, Jaden Yuki."

"Jay-lin. I'm not a boy."

"Right, my apologies. I'm Vellian Crowler, Department Chairman of Techniques at Duel Academy!"

"Department Chair huh? Cool!" Jaylin replied. She held a polite smile, while thinking to herself, 'for a second, I thought he was some sort of weird academy mascot, like a majorette or a cheerleader. Man, I wish Dad was here to see this.' "Say, can I take a picture to send to my parents. They're expecting the best... well my dad anyways. Don't exactly have a mom."

"Of course! Just make it quick, I have a schedule to keep!"

Jaylin took a quick picture of Vellian Crowler and typed a message reading, "wish u were here. The teach duling me looks wird," then sent it.

"Thanks!" Jaylin thanked, then got out her duel disk. She put her deck into the slot of her duel disk. Crowler turned on his duel disk. "By the way, that's a really cool Duel Disk thing you've got. How do I get one of those?"

"They're actually provided for the teachers. You can have one after you graduate, that is, if you can make it. Your entrance exam is not looking so good. You're going to have to prove yourself to get into the academy."

"I'll do my best Miss Crowler!" Jaylin promised.

"It's Doctor and I'm a guy!"

"Oh..." Jaylin replied, showing blush on her cheeks. "Sorry." She had to focus on the duel or she was going to burst into uncontrollable laughter. She drew five cards, then looked up. "Uh... you wanna go first?"

"No, you can go first."

"Okay," Jaylin replied, drawing her first card. She looked at what was in her hand to decide her first move. "First, I'll summon Avion in defense mode!" A green bird man with angel-like wings appeared on the field with claws on the top of its wrists. He leaned down, arms crossed, in a defense position. "I'll throw one face-down and end my turn. Your turn! Get your game on!"

"Get your game on?"

"Oh, I got it from the song Allstar! I have it on my iPod!" Jaylin explained with her cute smile.

"Ah, I see," Dr. Crowler replied, drawing his next card. "For my first move, I activate Confiscation. What it does is-"

"Oh, I know what it does. You have to pay 1000 life points to look at my hand and force me to put one of them in my graveyard!"

"Very good. It seems you know the game front and back. Nicely done," Dr. Crowler complimented the girl before she showed her hand. "Ah, I'll send Monster Reborn to the graveyard!"

"Aw man!" Jaylin responded, sending her Monster Reborn to the graveyard.

"Next, I lay two cards face-down on the field, but not before I unleash Heavy Storm. You know what this does?"

"Sure do! You sure don't play easy," Jaylin replied, sending her face-down card to the graveyard. "but your cards go to the graveyard too! You should've played Heavy Storm before placing your two face-downs on the field."

"You'd think, except I'm no rookie! I use the effect of the two cards that were destroyed, Statue of the Wicked. You know what that does?" Dr. Crowler asked.

"Yep! When destroyed, you can automatically summon a Wicked Token to your side of the field!" Jaylin replied as two golden armored part dragons and part worms appeared on Dr. Crowler's field. She looked up in excitement. "Holy shit, those are some awesome cards and I've seen alot of awesome cards in Daddy's deck!"

"Thank you," Dr. Crowler replied. "Anyways, I sacrifice my two Wicked Tokens to summon my Ancient Gear Golem!" The two Wicked Tokens burned from the field and were replaced with a giant iron robot that was almost ten feet tall, rising over Jaylin. This monster had gears all over its body, while also having a distinct look of the Iron Giant. Jaylin's eyes widened and her smile increased. "Now, I hope you're not too scared of my Ancient Gear Golem."

"Ah, no way! In fact, I feel honored to get to duel against a legendary rare monster I've never heard of before! I totally dig this."

"Well, let's see if you totally dig this. Ancient Gear Golem attack!" Dr. Crowler declared as the gears from Ancient Gear Golem began turning and punched Elemental HERO Avion in the chest before it burst from the field. Jaylin removed her Elemental HERO Avion from her duel disk and placed it in her graveyard. "And, since you've never heard of this card before: due to Golem's special ability, the damage your Avion deals with from my monster becomes piercing damage." Jaylin pressed the damage number on her duel disk, bringing her life points down to 2000.

"Wow, nice hit! I seriously wanna go to this school now!" Jaylin said excitedly, drawing her next card. "Hey, wanna see my rare card you probably never heard before? Daddy gave it to me to go with my deck when he retrieved me from the orphanage."

"Sure thing, young scholar."

"Cool!" Jaylin replied excitedly, then placed her card on her duel disk. "I summon Winged Kuriboh in defense mode, then place one card face-down. What do ya think?"

"A kuriboh with wings? Believe it or not, I have heard of that one. I believe your father won something like that at the Hong Kong Grand Tournament (HKGT) about year 2001?"

"Yep, then he gave it to me!"

"Interesting. Now, let's proceed," Dr. Crowler replied, drawing his next card. "Ancient Gear Golem, attack that kuriboh!" Ancient Gear Golem punched Winged Kuriboh and it burst from the field.

"I activate Winged Kuriboh's special ability. On the turn its destroyed, I take no damage and our battle phase ends."

Jaylin put her Winged Kuriboh in the graveyard before Dr. Crowler said, "not bad. I was curious what hidden ability that version of kuriboh had, especially considering a normal one can make any battle damage zero when sent from the hand to the graveyard."

"Yeah. Alot of people sometimes forget that."

"What makes a strong duelist is not by the strength of monsters, but skill. I must say, you're one of the few duelists who knows the game Duel Monsters front and back. You know the monsters without me telling you what they are, not counting my rare card, and you depend on skill than strength."

"Yeah, I also forgot to remodify my deck, which is why I can't really show you my best monsters. But, I can show you the best I've got in this deck," Jaylin smirked, then activated a trap. "I activate my trap card you set off by destroying Winged Kuriboh called Hero Signal to special summon my Elemental HERO Burstinatrix!" Jaylin searched through her deck, then placed Elemental HERO Burstinatrix onto the field, a long black-haired monster with red legs and designs on the top like wearing a body tattoo and a golden helmet. "Anyways, my turn!" She drew her next card. "First, I'll play The Warrior Returning Alive to bring back Avion!" She looked through her graveyard and brought back Elemental HERO Avion. "Now, I play Polymerization to combine my two Elemental HERO's together to bring on one of my best cards I have in this deck, Flame Wingman!" Elemental HERO Avion and Elemental HERO Burstinatrix fused together in the light as Jaylin searched through her extra deck to fuse summon Elemental HERO Flame Wingman. Half of the monster's body was red and the other half was green. The red arm had a dragon head as a hand and the green arm had claws. There was one wing on its back and a red and green tail. "What do ya think?"

"Not bad, but I hope you have more planned, because I was expecting a little more out of you."

"You bet there is more to expect. I play Skyscraper!" Jaylin smirked, getting out her field spell card and placing it on the Field Spell Card slot as tall buildings appeared around Jaylin and Dr. Crowler like they were in the middle of New York City. "This raises my Wingman's attack points by 1000, when the monster it attacks has more attack points!" Elemental Flame Wingman's attack points rose to 3100 as it flew down from the tallest building in the field spell and punched Ancient Gear Golem, the pieces of the monster flying everywhere as Dr. Crowler's life points reduced to 2900. "And due to Flame Wingman's special ability, you take damage equal to your destroyed monsters attack points. Sweet huh?"

Dr. Crowler reduced his life points until it reached zero, then applauded, saying, "provo! Even if you lost, you already proven your impressive skills. That's to say compared to your entrance exam. You will be joining with the Slifer Red students. While we do look for strong duelists, we also expect smart duelists. You must have your grades up to at least above a 59% by next semester. If you can do that, you can survive this academy for the year. If you wish, you can take part in our study session after school. I won't tolerate slackers or those with low grades. Do we understand each other?"

"I promise with sugar on top I'll do my very best and study hard," Jaylin promised, bowing to Dr. Crowler with respect.

"Good. Anyways, be ready for the plane flight in three months from now. You will be given a plane ticket and school uniform at the front, so make sure you appear with your ID," Dr. Crowler instructed. "Don't be running late this time. You have to arrive early."

"I won't! Thank you so much!" Jaylin thanked.

"One more thing."

"Yes?"

Dr. Crowler paused for a while, then sighed before replying, "nothing. I will be expecting you in school."

Jaylin nodded happily before running from the section she dueled Dr. Crowler in, who was looking at her registration form. He sighed, showing a smile, before placing it in his suitcase.
