On the plane to duel academy, the duo of Jaden and Syrus chatted to another fellow student Bastion. Seated next to Bastion was another slifer red who had his chair pulled back, with his eyes closed.

He had black hair that was faded on the sides, with the top slicked back with gel, his red blazer was open revealing his black v neck that was loosely tucked into, his black jeans which were held up by a red and black studded belt, clipped to it was a purple tinted black deck box, the boys duel disk was rested on his lap.

"Hey sweet duel disk" Jaden said examining the boys duel disk (black and gold orichalcos duel disk), waking the other slifer student, revealing his grey eyes.

"Oh thanks, it was a gift" the boy said yawning forcing a smile on his face as he did so.

"My names Jaden Yuki by the way, its nice to meet you"

"The names Tyler Hane (Haw-nay), but everyone calls me Ty, its nice to meet you as well"

Bastion and Syrus also introduced themselves, both shaking hands with Ty.

"Hey now that I think about it aren't you the kid who beat that teacher's ancient gear deck" Ty asked pointing at Jaden.

"Yep thats me" Jaden responded with a smile.

'Wow this kid has some serious game, I think I just found the perfect rival' Ty thought as a grin formed on his face.

"Wait if you're such a great duelist how did you end up in red" Tyler asked scratching his head.

"Well my written scores weren't so hot" Jaden chuckled.

"Yeah same here" Ty chuckled along.

The group got off the landing pad as Ty, Syrus, and Jaden waved off Bastion who had made his way to the Ra dorm. 'I wonder what the slifer dorm is gonna look like' Ty thought following his two newly made friends to the slifer house. On their way they chatted about their decks and what their life was like before the academy.

"So you guys know I play elemental heroes, since you watched me duel but I didn't get the chance to see you two played"

"Well I play vehicroids" Syrus sighed

'Wow someone isn't too confident in what they play' Ty thought before answering "I play blackwings" He said opening his deck box and pulling out his Blackwing - Elphin the Raven.

The two stopped walking and stared at the card, they had never even heard about the deck before let alone seeing one of its cards.

"When were those cards made" Syrus questioned still staring at the card.

"Its an exclusive deck made just for me" TY said with an arrogant grin.

"Wow thats totally awesome dude" Jaden said jokingly punching Ty's arm.

Tyler put his card back in his deck box as they continued to the dorm. They soon approached a run down building that looked like an old apartment in the middle of some urban city. The three slifer students entered the building to be welcomed by a tall man with long dark hair. "welcome fellow slifers, my name is professor banner, I am the alchemy teacher in this school and also the supervisor of the red dorm, I wish you all good luck in the coming year and hope you settle in nicely"

And before they were even told to start eating, both Jaden and Tyler had already gobbled down their food. Professor Banner laughed finding that this gesture was a compliment on his cooking, he offered the boys seconds. They quickly responded with eager head nods. After the two had finished all their helpings they made their way outside to explore.

"Wow im stuffed" Jaden said releasing a burp.

"Yeah, that professor banner can sure cook a good meal"

"You're telling me" Jaden said as the two of them started to laugh.

Syrus soon exited the building as well. "You know you could've waited for me" Syrus complained.

"Sorry Sy but we couldnt wait to explore this island" Ty said as he started to walk toward the woods. "we should head to that building over their first" Ty said pointing to the large castle looking building.

"Sounds like a plan, last one there is a rotten egg" Jaden said running past Tyler.

'Oh you're on' He thought with a rivals grin, running after Jaiden.

"Guys please wait up" Syrus pleaded slowly running after them.

They soon made their way through the woods and came across this huge castle like building that was painted two different shades of blue.

"Looks like something out of a movie" Syrus stated as the three boys looked at the building in awe, as they caught their breath.

"Hey you three, you can't be here slifer slackers" a voice said catching the three's attention.

They turned to see another group of three guys approaching them, wearing blue blazers. The middle one seemed to be the dominant of the group, his black hair and arrogant facial expression, made him stick out between the three of them. Tyler raised an eyebrow at the new group. 'and who are these clowns' he thought.

The grinning obelisk glared at the three slifers. "this is obelisk blue territory, only the best of the best get to stay here, and by the looks of your jackets, you guys are bottom of the barrel, so beat it"

'Who is this guy' Tyler thought before saying. "funny and who's gonna make us leave" Tyler grinned.

"I am, Chazz Princeton is the name and if you're smarter than I think, you would fall in line slacker" Chazz mocked stepping toward Tyler.

'If you want to be the best you have to beat the best' The words rolled through Tyler's head as Jaden opened his mouth to say something only to be cut off by Tyler. "if you want me to leave you're gonna have to beat me in a duel"

"I have no problem putting you in your place slacker, meet me here later tonight around 12 and I will show you who's top dog around here" Chazz said before walking by the slifers, shoulder bumping Tyler as he left.

"What a jerk" Tyler said out loud.

"Hey I was gonna duel him" Jaden shouted in an irritated tone, knowing how sweet this duel would've been.

"Sorry guess I just beat you to it" Tyler said staring at Jaiden, suddenly the two broke into laughter as Syrus sat back with a sweatdrop.

The three made their way back to the dorms and walked into their rooms. Jaden, Syrus and Tyler were roomed in the same dorm in room 203. "I call top bunk" Tyler exclaimed throwing his duffel bag on the bed.

"I guess I will take second bunk"

'Guess that leaves me with the bottom one, I'm always at the bottom anyways so this isn't a surprise' Syrus thought sitting on his bed.

Tyler made his way to the desk in the room and spread his deck across the table. Jaden snuck up behind him catching a glimpse of a white bordered card, before Tyler quickly put it away. "So you're seriously going to duel this chazz guy huh"

"Of course, why wouldn't I"Tyler chuckled.

"Well cause if you weren't I would've" Jaden joked

"Sorry, Jay but I never shy away from a duel especially one this big"

"Yeah me neither" Jaden had said before sitting on the rooms discolored carpet.

"Gotta beat the best to be the best" Tyler mumbled to himself.

"What was that Ty" Syrus asked.

"Oh nothing, just a quote my foster father used to tell me" He said with a smile.

'Foster father? I'm curious to ask more but I don't wanna upset the guy' Syrus and Jaden both thought.

It soon started to get late so Syrus and Jaiden tried to get some sleep before Tyler's duel. Jaden was almost as excited as Ty was he was ready for his new life at duel academy and Ty's duel was just the start of sick duels that would come strolling in as the year progressed. He dreamed of himself dueling Bastion, and Syrus, and Chazz, and even Tyler. Meanwhile Syrus tossed and turned giggling occasionally as he dreamt of the dark magician girl. Tyler couldn't help but chuckle a bit when Syrus said "oh dark magician girl your breasts are so nice and soft" 'what a creep' he thought smiling knowing he himself dreamt about basically the same thing.

"Are you ready" a familiar voice said as Tyler shuffled his deck, before drawing the top card revealing Blackwing - Elphin the Raven.

"Of course im the winged warrior, I'm ready for anything" The blackwing duelist said turning to face a giant humanoid raven, that stood between Tyler and the bunks. The raven was a little bit taller than Ty and had it's arms folded and it's wings tucked, Ty could see through the raven as his color and presence was faint.

"That is true, what do you think of your new friends" the raven questioned in a sophisticated manner.

"They're cool, Jaden reminds me of myself and Syrus can get annoying I can already tell but he's just a chick that's afraid to come out of it's shell" Elphin nodded in agreement.

"It's almost time, you should wake them" Elphin stated, placing Tyler's hand on his deck "and don't forget the blackwings are always here for you" he finished saying, disappearing, followed by the cawing of other birds. This made the duelist smile. Tyler then stood up and stretched, cracking his back and placing his deck back in its box. 'How should I go about this' he thought staring at his two sleeping roommates, plans of how to wake them spun through his head. "Bingo" he whispered grabbing a book off of the room's bookshelf. Then with a quick swipe Tyler slammed the book across the stand of bunk creating a large Bang!. Syrus jumped out of bed and onto the floor with a panicked shriek causing Tyler to burst into laughter.

"What was that for" Syrus said climbing to his feet

"Its almost time for my duel with Chazz, that was just for my own enjoyment" he said continuing to laugh before he realized Jaden was still sound asleep like nothing even happened. 'Really' Ty thought as his laughter came to a close.

"Syrus help me out with this grab the other side of the mattress" Tyler said grabbing the edge of the mattress with a sinister grin.

"I don't know about this Ty" syrus said nervously.

"Just trust me and do it Sy" Tyler said as Syrus shrugged and grabbed the other edge.

Then the two of them pulled on the mattress flipping Jaden out of bed. He hit the floor with a thud. "Um, Jay"Syrus said noticing Jaden was still sleeping

Jaden then stretched, and sat up on the floor. "Hey guys how did I end up on the floor" Syrus let a sweat drop at the statement as Tyler slammed his palm into his face before saying "you fell, now lets go"

Jaden knew what he meant by that and quickly changed before running out of the dorm with the others. They ran as fast as they could but still made it 20 minutes late.

"And here I thought you decided to punk out" Chazz said standing over the panting Tyler, who just held a finger up while saying "just...give...me...a...minute" He continued to huff and puff before finally catching his breath.

"Are you done yet" Chazz said getting impatiently, waiting to wipe the floor with Tyler.

"Wow I'm out of shape" Tyler said "but yeah im ready"

The obelisk blue and slifer red readied their duel disks before simultaneously calling out "Duel!"

Then a hologram appeared reading off their life points .

Chazz 4000

Tyler 4000

"I'll start off, draw!" Tyler said placing his newly drawn card in with the rest of his hand making it six. 'Wow drew on all of my shura's on the opening hand' Tyler thought scanning his hand which was comprised of 3x Blackwing Shura the Blue Flame, 2x Icarus Attack, and 1 Black Whirlwind.

"Are you gonna make your move yet slacker" chazz pressured.

"Oh don't get your panties in a bunch, I'll activate the continuous spell card Black Whirlwind" Tyler said placing a turquoise bordered card face-up in his spell/trap card zone.

"Yeah and what does that do slacker" Chazz questioned having never seen the card before

"Well if you'd shut up, you would soon find out, I'll summon Blackwing - Shura the Blue Flame" Tyler said placing a monster on the first slot of his duel disk. Soon a black winged, blue torso, humanoid bird flew down from the sky and onto the field. "Still haven't seen that whirlwind effect" Chazz complained

"Oh my god, I was getting their dammit, when a Blackwing monster is normal summoned to my side of the field I can add a blackwing monster with an attack less than the summoned monster from my deck to my hand"

'Sweet card' Jaiden thought looking on from the sidelines.

"So with my Whirlwind effect I will add a Blackwing - Bora the Spear to my hand" Tyler said grabbing the monster from his deck before placing it on his second monster slot. Soon another humanoid bird joined Shura, this one holding a drill like spear.

"Wait how the hell did you just summon that thing" Chazz said in shock

"Well you see my Bora the Spear can special summon itself to the field as long as I control another blackwing other than itself" Ty said giving Chazz an arrogant smile.

"Too cool, two high attack monsters on the first turn he really is good" Syrus said in awe.

"Yeah he is, I call dueling him next" Jaden said with a cheesy smile.

"To end my turn I will set two cards face down, go ahead"

"I'll draw" Chazz growled "hehe you're not the only one who can summon more than one monster on your first turn, first i will activate the spell Dark World Dealing, now both of us can draw a card then discard a card to the graveyard" Chazz snickered, tyler drew his card then discarded one of his shura's from his hand "perfect" Chazz muttered drawing his card and discarding a Chthonian Soldier "now I will activate my newly drawn spell Monster Reborn with this I special summon my Chthonian Soldier from my graveyard in attack mode (1200)" Chazz said as a soldier in silver armor appeared on his side of the wielding a sharp blade "and don't think im done yet I now activate the spell card, Inferno Reckless Summon, now by paying 1500 life points I can special summon two more Chthonian Soldiers from my deck in defense mode (1400)" chazz continued as his life points dropped from 4000 to 2500, and two more soldiers appeared on his field on one knee with their arms crossed. "next up I will equip my Chthonian Alliance to my attack position Chthonian Soldier boosting his attack by 800 for every monster with the same name as his (1200+800+800=2800)"

"I don't think so I activate my facedown, Icarus Attack, with this card I can tribute my Bora the Spear and destroy both of your defense position soldiers" Tyler explained as a burst of light shot down shattering Bora into pixels that flew at Chazz's two defense position Chthonian Soldiers causing them to burst into pixels as well "fine then I guess I will set one card face down and end" Chazz hissed as the duel disks showed their life points.

Tyler 4000

Chazz 2500

Tyler started his turn with his draw 'this is just too easy' He thought as he flipped his second face down "I activate my second trap" the face down card flipped revealing an Icarus Attack "Another Icarus Attack" Jaden and Chazz said in shock

"That's right so you know what that means, I tribute Shura the Blue Flame to destroy your final Chthonian Soldier and your set trap" again a burst of light shot down Shura into pixels that destroyed Chazz's set card and monster.

"Now we both have no monsters" Chazz exclaimed

"Not for long, I summon Blackwing - Blizzard the Far North in attack position (1300), now with his effect I can special summon a level 4 or lower blackwing monster from my grave in face-up defense position, everyone welcome back Blackwing - Shura the Blue Flame" once again shura rose to the field blocking itself with it's wings .

'What is he gonna do next' Jaiden thought in exciting anticipation.

"I now tune my level two Blizzard with my level four Shura to synchro summon Blackwing Armed Wing (2300)!" Tyler yelled as Blizzard flew into the sky turning into 2 rings, followed by shura who turned into four light green stars that flew through the two rings. They soon merged into a giant beam of light, that soon vanished. The beam of light left behind another humanoid bird holding a sword that looked similar to a shotgun. The bird cawed spreading its wings, blasting black feathers into the air. Leaving everyone shocked as they all exclaimed "SYNCHRO SUMMON?!"

"What in the world is that?" Chazz asked his mouth still hanging to the floor.

"Well its what my blackwings specialize in, by releasing a tuner monster and a regular monster I can summon an even stronger monster whose level is the combined level of the two released monsters" Tyler explained only to get more confused looks. "okay you know what nevermind, point is I made a cool monster, now Armed Wing attack so I will soon be out of this misery" Blackwing Armed Wing nodded as if he understood Tyler. He then dashed toward Chazz piercing his chest with his sword dropping his life points to 200.

"Well it's your go, let's hurry this up" Chazz drew what looked like his last card of the duel, placing it in his hand he peeked from his hand to the field.

'There isn't anyway I can win, the only cards in my hand is Chthonian Emperor Dragon and Chthonian Polymer, he has me beat, but how, how could I lose to this trash, I'm Chazz Princeton, I'm not supposed to lose to some slacker' Chazz thought in despair as he set his Chthonian Polymer face down and ended his turn.

Tyler drew his card then nodded at his Armed Wing, who flew at Chazz knocking his life points to 0 and knocking him on his ass. Tyler watched Chazz's lackies run toward him, helping him up before turning and walking away.

"W...who are you?" Chazz called out angrily

"I thought we already did introductions, I'm the Winged Warrior Tyler Hane but you don't have the privilege of calling me Ty" he finished saying as him and his friends walked back to the dorms leaving Chazz to dwell in his anger. Both Jaden and Syrus were shocked, they just met him but still they didn't think Tyler even had this side to him. How he went from joking around and goofy to serious and dark. He was silent the whole walk home, not saying a single word.
