The Beginning
"Jaden! Wake up! Jaden!" Syrus said, shaking Jaden as hard as he could. "Oh, I don't wanna do this, but… JADEN, YOU'RE EXPELLED!"
"What! You've got nothing on me! You can't expel me! I'm the best one here! I gotta become the next king of games! Please! No! Let me stay! Pleassse!" Jaden screamed, immediately waking up.
"Jaden," Syrus said flatly. "You're not expelled. It's the only way to wake you up. Besides it was only me."
"Oh, sorry for making you go through all that trouble." Jaden said.
"Nah, it's okay. But there are more important things going on! Did you hear the news? Somebody beat Zane!" Syrus exclaimed. "And they say he's also a Slifer."
"Yeah, it's true." Chumley said from the top bunk. "Looks like you have more competition Jaden."
"What? How am I supposed to beat this guy when I can't beat Zane?" Jaden sighed. "Well, I might as well try." Jaden stared sadly at the ground for a few moments. Then he burst up, spirit reinvigorated and said "I don't care how tough or strong this guy is, or if he beat Zane! I'm gonna beat him! Let's go!"
Syrus responded, "Well, shouldn't you get dressed first?"
"Yeah," Chumley added. "And lets get some breakfast too; I'm starving."
After getting ready, Syrus, Jaden, and Chumley went out to find the new student. "This is supposed to be his dorm," Syrus said, stopping in front of a door.
"Only one way to find out," Jaden said, knocking.
A tall boy, about the same height as Jaden, answered. He had red hair and eyes that matched the red blazer he wore.
"Are you the guy who beat Zane?" Jaden asked.
"Well, um…" the boy started, blushing. "I guess. It seems my reputation is already growing. It wasn't anything, really."
"Still," Jaden said. "Zane was the top student here, and you beat him. That means for me to be the best, I gotta beat you! So how about it, duel?"
"Sure. And you three are…?" the boy asked.
"I'm Syrus."
"I'm Chumley."
"I'm going to be the winner of our duel, but you can just call me Jaden."
"I'm sorry, but that spot is already filled." The boy said.
"What do you mean the 'position' of Jaden is filled? I was here way before you!" Jaden yelled.
"No, I mean the position of the victor," the boy said smiling. "And my name is Masato. Well, lets go!"
They started the duel in the field by the dorm.
Jaden: 4000; Masato: 4000
"I'll go first!" Masato said, drawing six cards. Scanning his hand he thought, Hmm…I'll start him off easy, then I'll really show him what my deck can do. "I play a monster in face-down defense and I'll play a facedown magic/trap. Your go."
Jaden drew a card, and said "Sweet! Now I'll activate polymerization, to fuse together my Elemental Hero Avian and my Elemental Hero Burstinadrix to summon Elemental Hero Flame Wingman(2100/1200)! And because that was only a fusion summon, I can still summon a monster from my hand, so I'll summon Elemental Hero Sparkman(1600/1400)! Now, I'll attack your facedown with Flame wingman!"
"Not so fast!" Masato declared. "I'll activate my trap card, negate attack. Looks like you'll have to wait 'til next turn."
"Fine, I end my turn. Let's see what you got!"
"Okay then, I'll show you," Masato said as he drew a card. "First, I'll activate the spell card fissure! This will destroy your monster with the lowest attack!" A giant crack appeared in the ground, heading straight for Jaden's Sparkman. The crack opened up beneath Sparkman, destroying him, and then the crack closed. "Then I'll flip summon my facedown monster, swarm of scarabs (500/1000)!"
"Only 500 attack?" Jaden asked. "That's not nearly enough to destroy my Flame Wingman!"
"Maybe his attack isn't, but his effect is. Whenever swarm of scarabs is flipped summoned, I can destroy a monster on your side of the field. And now I'll attack you directly with my swarm of scarabs!"
Jaden: 3500; Masato: 4000
"That was a pretty sweet move! And that scarab you got there is a pretty sweet card, except that its effect can only be used once."
"That's where you wrong!" Masato declared. "You see, once per turn I can change swarm of scarabs back into face-down defense position. So I'll do that now, and then I'll activate the continuous spell card stumbling and end my turn."
What does that do? Jaden wondered as he drew his card. Okay, because his scarab's effect only activates when its flipped summoned it should be okay to attack. "I summon elemental hero burstinadrix (1200/800)!"
"Okay, but be sure to switch her to defense mode." Masato said.
"No way! Otherwise I won't be able to attack and your scarabs will destroy her next turn!"
"I wasn't asking you to do that. I was telling you. You see, stumbling forces all monsters to be changed to defense mode when they are first summoned."
"Fine, fine." Jaden said. "I'll just throw down a facedown and end my turn."
Masato drew a card. "I flip summon my scarabs, to destroy your burstinadrix. Then I'll summon Cliff the Trap Remover (1200/1000) in defense mode. I'll change my scarabs to facedown defense and then end my turn."
"All right, my go!" Jaden said, drawing a card. "First I activate pot of greed, so I can draw 2 cards from my deck! Sweet! First I activate the warrior returning alive, to return elemental hero avian to my hand! Then I'll activate fusion recovery, to get back burstinadrix and polymerization. Then I'll use all three to summon back my flame wingman!"
"What's the point?" Masato asked. "Your flame wingman can't attack, and will just be destroyed next turn."
"Oh really?" Jaden responded. "Not with this card, I'll activate my facedown card, final attack orders! This changes all face-up monsters on the field into attack! So stumbling may change my summoned monsters to defense mode, but final attack orders with put them back into attack! And now I'll attack your facedown scarabs."
"Okay, so you're gonna destroy my scarabs. Big deal. I'll only lose 500 lifepoints because of wingman's effect."
"Oh no you won't! Even though your scarabs was only turned face-up because I attacked it, final attack orders will still put it into attack! So you'll lose 2100 lifepoints! Now go, attack!" Elemental Flame Wingman unleashed a ball of fire from his hand, which went through the swarm of scarabs, straight into Masato. "Your turn, Masato!"
Jaden: 3500; Masato: 1900
Masato drew a card. "All right, first I'll play heavy storm, to destroy all of our magic and trap cards. I'll then switch my cliff the trap remover to defense mode and play a monster in facedown defense. I'll then play 2 facedown magic/trap cards to end my turn."
Jaden drew a card. "This must be my lucky day! I'll activate another fusion recovery, to return elemental hero burstinadrix and polymerization to my hand. I'll then use those two cards, along with an elemental hero clayman in my hand to summon elemental hero rampart blaster (2000/2500) in defense mode! And this is the really sweet part about her: when she's in defense mode I can attack you with her directly by halving her attack points. So now go and attack Masato directly!"
Jaden: 3500; Masato: 900
"And now I'll attack your facedown monster with elemental hero flame wingman!" Masato's cyber jar (900/900) was revealed. "And because your cyber jar has 900 attack points, once this attack is over you'll lose the duel!"
"Not yet I won't!" Masato cried. "I activate my facedown, altar for tribute! By tributing one monster on my field I can increase my lifepoints by that card's attack, so I'll tribute my cliff the trap remover, so in total I'll just gain 300 lifepoints!" Jaden's flame wingman lunged at cyber jar, and passed through it hitting Masato.
Jaden: 3500; Masato: 1200
"Hey, why's your cyber jar still on the field?"
"Because its effect still has to activate!" Masato said. "First, cyber jar destroys all monsters on the field." Cyber jar opened, sucking in elemental flame wingman and elemental hero rampart blaster, and then exploded. "Then we each pick up five cards and show them to each other. We summon all level 4 or lower monsters and all other cards are returned to our hands." Jaden picked up his cards, Elemental Hero Avian (1000/1000), Skyscraper, Hero Kid(300/600), Elemental Hero Sparkman, and A Hero Emerges. He summoned all his heroes in face-up attack mode. "Oh, and because my hero kid is special summoned, I get to summon the other two from my deck!" Jaden said, searching his deck. Masato then picked up Morphing Jar (700/600), Level Limit – Area B, Mystic Tomato(1400/1100), Gravity Bind, and Morphing Jar #2 (800/700), and summoned both morphing jars and his mystic tomato in facedown defense.
"Okay, Elemental Hero Avian, attack Masato's monster on the left!" Morphing Jar was revealed, and then destroyed. Both players discarded their hands and drew 5 new cards. "Now, elemental Hero Sparkman, attack Masato's monster on the right!" Morphing Jar #2 was revealed.
"Good, now let me explain to you how this monster's effect works," Masato said. "All monsters on our fields are returned to our decks. Then we pick up cards as before until we've drawn the same amount of monster cards as were returned to our decks. All level 4 and lower monsters are summoned in facedown defense and all other cards are sent to the graveyard." Masato put morphing jar #2 in the graveyard, put mystic tomato on top of his deck, and shuffled his deck. He drew a stumbling, pot of greed, and then a needle worm (750/600). He discarded stumbling and pot of greed in the graveyard, and put needle worm on the field in facedown defense.
Jaden grimaced. He would need to draw 5 monsters. He returned all the monsters to his deck and shuffled. He then picked up cards until Elemental hero clayman (800/2000), bubbleman (800/1200), and burstinadrix were on his field in facedown defense, and elemental hero necroshade (1600/1800) and bladedge (2600/1800) were in his graveyard, along with many other magic and trap cards. By the time Jaden was done, he had barely any cards in his deck. "I end my turn," Jaden sighed.
"Okay," Masato said as he drew a card. "Time for me to win this duel. First I flip summon needle worm. This sends the top five cards of your deck to the graveyard." Jaden sadly did this, seeing he only had two cards left in his deck. "You're probably thinking that those two cards can save you. Well, they can't. I activate my facedown card, Assault on GHQ. By tributing a monster on my side of the field, which in this case is needle worm, I can send the top two cards of your deck to the graveyard. I now end my turn, and because you have no cards in your deck when you're supposed to draw, I win!"
Jaden just stared at the ground for a moment, but then laughed, "Good game! I can see why you beat Zane. Awesome strategy!"
"Thanks," Masato said. "You're deck is really good too. You almost had me there."
"Now that the duel's over," Chumley interjected. "Can we get some early lunch? Watching you two duel made me hungry."
"Sure, lunch sounds great." Masato said, as the quartet began to walk to the cafeteria.
If ur wondering about the name, the god cards(which are obelisk, ra, and slifer, duh)will come in later when I introduce the actual plotline (y'know, how in GX the spirit keys didn't come in until about episode 20?)
With all my chapters, I won't update until I get at least 2-3 reviews, or I get tired of waiting.
