It was a sunny morning in the town. Slumbering in bed was a plain-looking teenage boy with fair complexion and dark crimson hair.
This boy was named Adrian Sexton. He slept soundly with no worry in the world. The Bustle of the city was not too noisy.
That was until his clock alarm went off.
Adrian Yawned and stretched his arms. Bringing the hand that was closest to the clock slamming down upon it. Rubbing his eyes with his other hand let out a grumble "Another day in my boring life".
Getting out of his bed. Adrian waltzed over to his computer and switched it on. Wanting to check the news about the Yu-Gi-OH Duel Monsters card game. He wanted to know when the newest expansion would be released. Upon his computer booting up he went and googled 'Duel Monsters latest news'.
Adrian let out a sigh "Let's see if Konami made any changes to the game since link monsters". Expecting the official Konami site to pop up first in the search.
What he got was something he didn't expect at all.
'KIBACORP's 10th anniversary duel tournament starting next week'
Adrian sat there in a minute of stunned silence.
"Wait a minute if kiba's company showed up"Muttering under his breath "Does that mean what I think this means?". It was then it instantly hit him like a train coming at him carrying a boxcar full of excitement and terror.
He was somehow teleported into the Yu-Gi-Oh Universe. On one hand he was excited by the fact he now has a golden opportunity to meet the cannon cast in person. However One the other hand.
It meant the shadow games from the franchise were now a real thing. If Adrian was forced into a shadow game and lost.
Not only he would lose the duel. He would lose his life.
The prospect of such an outcome made Adrian Gulp. Looking at the date it said January the first two-thousand and twelve. Which gave him a very good idea of what era he could be in.
With a clam voice and look of difference "Fuck my life I'm in the GX era" was all that came out of Adrian's mouth. He had one question though did he still have his families collection.
Getting up from his computer he looked over to two medium-sized boxes, both holding a thousand cards each over half of which were given to him by his sister who was trying to get ride of most of her excess cards. Some of the rarer cards in his collection Adrian bought with his own money. Such as his set of exodia cards or his master peace cards.
Putting his hands on both the lock and the lid. 'I hope that all my cards are alright' was the main thought racing through Adrian's mind. With one swift motion. He opened the box with all of his extra deck and pendulum cards that were collected so far.
His Brown Gaze scanned the contents he could see that all of his fusion, XYZ, Synchro, Link and his pendulum monsters were intact. Which he could assume his more normal cards were also intact.
"Thank Goodness" was all that came out of Adian's mouth.
Rushing around his room taking out and putting one whatever clothes fit him. Adrian motioned a shrug "I'll take a shower when I get back" Walking out into the main living quarter's and get some breakfast before he can go looking for answers.
Maybe Pegasus or kiba would be able to help him.
Or was Pegasus surname Crawford? He didn't know whether the cannon casts Japanese or English name's applied.
"Would they even believe me though?" Was the only question that came out of Adrian's Mouth.
First of all he needed to get a new source of income and find a payphone.
Outside at a Nearby Cafe.
Sitting at a table in a café. Adrian had ordered a simple cooked breakfast and some hot chocolate. 'Don't want to take any chance's I might end up shitting myself to death' was the only thought on his mind.
Why was it that only Adrian himself came to this world and not his loved ones. Who or what brought him here he did not know yet.
Absent mindedly he was slowly eating his food in deep thought. Thinking about how he could get into contact with either of them. Of course since after the battle city and duellist kingdom arc's Pegasus had become more jovial. Which meant he was more sociable now. Plus he and seto kiba had dealt with abnormal things like this before.
It still came down to that there was a small possibility that neither would believe him. Swallowing the food in his mouth "Now how do I get into contact with them?" was the only thing that came out of Adrian's mouth. That was until.
"Excuse me, sir mind if I sit here?"
It was then he stopped eating to redirect his focus to the voice that called out to him. Before him was a young person while black hair and brown eyes. The persons attire made it difficult for Adrian to tell if this person was a boy or a girl.
"Um,Sure" was all that came out of Adrian's confused mouth.
The youth pulled out a chair and sat down on it. After a slight awkward silence the person sitting next to him spoke up.
"I'm waiting for a friend to sign me up for the duel academy entrance exams".
Initially Adrian didn't pay much heed to what sounded like a females voice. But when she said the word's 'Duel Academy' it was then he got an idea.
Why Doesn't he sign up as well? On once hand he did run the risk of his secret being discovered. On the other hand he could get an education and live in relative peace. Granted if he doesn't get dragged into whatever happened in the anime or manga. He didn't want to use Xyz, Synchro or pendulum summoning if he could avoid it.
"You Know, your idea of signing up to duel academy is actually now looking tempting" With a Mused tone in Adrian's voice.
The Girl Blinked for a second before replying "This years entrance exam's are actually in the next two weeks". The Girl looked at Adrian and smiled. Happy that she at least helped somebody. But she kept secret the reason she wanted to go to duel academy.
However it seemed like fate had other plans. As a guy on a Motorcycle that she recognized was waving her over. It was then she had to say the word she didn't want to say. "Well I guess this is goodbye for now" The girl's voice had solemn inflection. She seemed a bit depressed at the fact that her time with Adrian was short.
It was then the Adrian smiled "Hey Don't worry, I'm well meet each other again soon enough".
Adrian's remark had managed to cheer the girl up slightly, the girl chuckled "Please call me Blair".
"Adrian, Adrian Sexton" he called to her. Before seeing her wave him goodbye one last time. Before getting in the side card of the motorcycle and heading off.
Adrian knew he would be running into her again sooner or later at duel academy.
"Well, that was honestly unexpected" chuckling to himself. Before proceeding to finish off his meal before it got cold.
He was going to en roll into duel academy. But first Adrian needed to prepare his things and prepare a few decks for use.
Later on that day
Adrian had locked his apartment door out of common sense. Apart from his cards there was nothing worth stealing in there. Walking down the street, he was thinking about his plan to en roll into the academy. That was until he ran into a few problems.
First he didn't have a proper Duel disk. Second He had no idea where the nearest entrance exam centre was. Third he had no smart phone, didn't bother to buy one and doubted that it would work here.
That and he three weeks to prepare and get through the entrance exam's. First priority was to hunt for as much information on the entrance exam's for duel academy as possible. Second would be to buy a duel disk so he could practice. Though from what he recalled didn't the students get issued a duel disk after enrolling anyway? That was something he'd have to figure out himself.
There was also the issue he maybe unable to use some of his more modern cards like his dimension dragons or speed warrior in public without attracting lots of attention. As it might attract the wrong crowd.
Bringing a hand up Adrian counted the things he need to do "OK first off, get information on where the entrance exam for duel academy and figure out where I am" Holding his hand up bringing two fingers up "Second find and buy a duel disk".
In Adrian's mind there was nagging sensation that this might easier said than done. Can't help but try right. Then there was the problem with decks. He couldn't use any of his more powerful cards without attracting attention. So his pool of cards was now more limited. Then something jogged his memory.
Adrian had a couple of old deck lists he used to play. One of them was an ancient gear deck and the other was generic Burn Deck. Those he could use in public without anyone batting an eye.
"Well the good news is I got the deck problem about sorted" Sighing at the fact that he at least had a couple of decks he could use. But he needed to not panic. Panicking never got anyone, anywhere.
What was worse was that he only had two weeks to get ready.
Slapping himself in the face Adrian Remarked "Damn it! Should have asked Blair about the exam's".
Shaking his head at his mistake. Adrian walked aimlessly around the surrounding block. Not to mention that he had to wait before they even will accept applications.
Walking down the streets within the city block he was in. Looking around and getting accustomed to his new city.
Scratching his head he had a thought. "You know getting to know the local folk's isn't a bad thing" Adrian mused to himself.
After all what's the worse that can happen during the next fortnight?
Meanwhile in the duel spirit world that day
Winged Kuriboh felt like an anomaly had happened in the human world. But he couldn't put his finger on it. Though he knew it was less about what but who came into their version of the human world.
Ancient Fairy Dragon, however could feel a rift in void that separated dimensions open. She had sensed a new arrival in the human world. There was only one thing that came her mind.
What was going on? Why did it feel like that something was off?
Authors Note:
Right So I have to thank those who brought up the issues with the first version of this chapter. I had to admit this was kind of too convenient for a first draft. hopefully this is at least slightly better from a story perspective.
After all there's no such thing as true perfection. After all if everything was 100% perfect life would be boring.
