Chapter 1
The dragon that brings forth courage! Red-Eyes Black Dragon!
It was another typical school morning for Zed. He absolutely hated having to get up so early, but hey, that was his life. "Zed, breakfast is ready!" His Mum shouted, as the bleary-eyed blonde teenager stumbled downstairs, still half asleep. "Is it waffles?" He asked, his stomach grumbling like a discontented cat. "No, it's just cereal, I din't have time to make waffles." She replied. This day was just getting worse and worse. He looked around the kitchen as he shoveled spoonful after spoonful of the land cornflakes into his mouth, the massive amounts of sugar he had put on it not even slightly enhancing the taste. He was going to the Duel Academy that Jaden Yuki had went to, where all the insanity with alternate dimensions and epitomes of darkness happened. "I swear, if any more of that sort of stuff happens I am getting the first ship home." He said, his mother laughing in repsonse. "Nothing like that has happened for ages, not since Jaden left, anyway." She replied. "I think Grandpa Joey and Grandma Mai remembered that sort of thing happening to them." Zed said, referencing his Grandparents Joey Wheeler and Mai Wheeler, who were both famous due to the fact that they were pro-duelists, ages ago. Now Domino City had been rebuilt as New Domino City, the exploits of Yugi Muto and Jaden Yuki having become legendary, along with Yusei Fudo and the rest of the Signers. He looked at his Deck, which was centered around his favourite card, Red-Eyes Black Dragon. He even had an odd sort of birthmark on his arm, which resembled it's head, leading to his family joking that he was the 7th Signer. He remembered when he got it, when he first summoned Red-Eyes in a Duel when he was 6. Since then it hadn't done anything particularily exciting, unlike the Signers birthmarks. It was just there. Suddenly, his dad called angrily from his room. "ZED LEON WHEELER! GET YOUR BUTT UP HERE NOW!" Damn. He must have found out that Zed didn't exactlydo all his backing like he was supposed to. "Coming..." He replied, muttering several foul words under his breath. "Why isn't your stuff all packed?" the blonde 30-something year old yelled. "Because I didn't know what I wanted to take." He replied. "Well, good thing I packed for you. He opened the case, it was full of all his clothes and other things. "Why isn't my Xbox in there?" Zed asked, annoyed. "Well, since you didn't pack properly, you can go without your Xbox for the first term. You are going to the Academy to learn, not to doss about and play stupid games!" His Dad replied. "WHAT! That's so unfair!" Zed shouted, displaying his Grandfather's inability to control his anger. "No arguements! Now get going." His Dad said, hand his son his backpack. "Fine..." Zed said, as he left the house, he kissed his Mum goodbye and waved to his Dad, still annoyed about the Xbox thing. He got to the Duel Academy safely, and looked up at the massive building. He had hope that he wasn't going to go through the same sort of thing Jaden did. Little did he know how wrong he was.
