Episode One

Welcome to Duel Academy!

Alex lugged his luggage quickly off of the aircraft. A large blue aircraft that seated two hundred and fifty people sat neatly on the landing pad. The engines were off, calmly awaiting the next call to duty and the windows gleamed in the afternoon sun.

Alex turned around to stare in awe at the sight before him…Duel Academy. A large building cast everything else in shadows. It was a large aluminum structure that rounded at the top. Four golden-brown obelisks surrounded it, one of which was slanted, only being stopped from falling completely by the building itself. The building was hidden partly by a small forest, but in front of the building were three thin poles; on top of each was a round semi-circle. Each semi-circle was a different color. The one on the left was blue, this one was the tallest. Followed by a yellow semi-circle, which was the second largest. And finally the lowest semi-circle all the way on the left, which was red.

Alex knew exactly what they stood for, thanks to his brother Jard, whom was a senior Obelisk Blue at Duel Academy. The three colors (Blue, Yellow, Red) were the three dorms. Obelisk Blue was the highest dorm, the best duelists in the school were put in that one, and the only way you could become an Obelisk Blue as a first year was if you attended a prep junior high school. All the others had to work there way up there. Which was why blue was the tallest.

Next came Ra Yellow, and if you didn't notice each one of the dorms were named after one of the Egyptian gods. Ra Yellow housed the second powerful duelists in the school, or the most powerful first years, who just hadn't come from prep schools.

And the finally came…Slifer Red. Slifer Red was considered the lowest dorm, and some even believed that if you were in Slifer Red you shouldn't even be in the school which was why nicknames such as 'Slifer Slacker' and 'Slifer Scum' had accumulated over the last few years.

All summer Jard had been bragging about his promotion to Obelisk Blue and how he would use his position to bully those 'Slifer Squirts'. To be honest Alex didn't think Jard deserved to be in Obelisk Blue from what he had heard about the legendary dorm…but there was nothing Alex could do about it.

Alex looked down at his yellow blazer. It had a golden lining and the chest area was white. School uniform demanded that you wear a black shirt under it and dark colored pants.

Alex had crystal blue eyes that sparkled in the light. He had tall, jagged black hair that came down over his eyes and small ears which were hidden by his hair.

Alex's friend Trisha approached him cheerfully. "Great isn't it," she commented observing the island.

Alex nodded. Trisha and Alex had been friends since the first grade. They were next door neighbors and played Duel Monsters with each other almost everyday. But for junior high school Trisha's parents sent her to Domino Prep, one of the best dueling schools in Japan, while Alex was sent to Domino Junior High, a local public school.

But through the school change Trisha and Alex had remained friends, everyday Alex would climb over the fence from his house to her house for a visit…accept the times when Trisha had too much homework, which became more and more frequent as time went on.

"This is going to be so awesome, think of the adventures we're going to have here, of all the stuff we're going to learn."

Alex laughed, and he examined his friend. She was tall, standing at exactly five feet eight inches. She had sleek brown hair that rested calmly on her shoulders. She had a few freckles along her face and hazel brown eyes. She had a primarily white uniform. At the collar it was a deep blue and the lining was an identical color. She had on a blue mini skirt with matching boots and navy-blue gloves. It wasn't much of a surprise to Alex that she was in Obelisk Blue.

Then Alex was hit in the back by a sharp pat from his friend Nick. Nick laughed when he saw his friend's reaction. Nick was an average height fourteen year old. He was an American who had moved to Japan in sixth grade with his father who had a received a high paying job in Japan. Throughout sixth grade Alex and Nick had become the best of friends and were known in their junior high school to be as 'thick as thieves'. Although Nick was more of a rebel and Alex did his homework most of the time the two were drawn towards each other and nothing could separate them.

Nick had on the same Ra Yellow blazer as Alex. Accept his was not buttoned, to reveal his black T-shirt, with matching sleek black pants. Nick had the same style hair as Alex except his hair was brown and only went above his forehead, it partly covered his golden headband, which he wore constantly and came in five different colors.

"Will you look at this," Nick said smiling. "The three of us here together for four straight years, just the three of us…no way to escape."

Trisha, who had become friends with Nick through Alex laughed, "The thought makes me want to barf."

Nick threw a dirty look at Trisha and they both started laughing.

"Come on you guys we better head towards our dorms," Alex noticed that the entire school was off the plane and already on there way to their respective dorms.

The trio of friends grabbed their suitcases and pulled them up the dirt path towards the school. Along the way they passed a small building as they walked along the river. It was a worn building that was painted in a fading red. It resembled a rickety old motel and the friends stopped to watch students wearing red blazers enter it.

"The Slifer Red dorm," Alex whispered and they nodded, these people were supposedly the worst duelists in the school.

They continued on quietly until they reached a small steel bridge. In the distance on the other side of the water was a tall blue building. It was circular and windows appeared every few feet.

Trisha sighed, "Home sweet home…there's the Obelisk Blue girls dorm."

The boys nodded, next to the girls dorm was the Obelisk Blue boys' dorm, it hung over the river. It was a long white building with a nice blue rooftop.

"Well this is where we part," Trisha paused for a moment. "How about I meet you guys in front of the Ra dorm in an hour and a half, we could explore the grounds before the welcome dinner?"

Alex checked his watch, "Hour and a half…got it. See ya then!" And Trisha slowly made her way across the bridge.

Alex and Nick turned to continued down the road. But they stopped when they noticed Alex's brother Jard, followed by a group of Obelisk Blues.

Two Slifer Reds had stopped to ask them where their dorm was, somehow missing it along the way.

Jard began to laugh. Jard was tall and thin, gangly. He had cropped brown hair and he was wearing a large blue overcoat, black shirt and the same colored pants.

"The Slifer Red dorm," he asked mockingly.

The kids nodded obliviously, "Ok," Jard paused for a minute. "You see that path over there leading into the forest," the kids nodded.

Take that straight until you reach the center of the forest. Then make a left at a large tree with a red dot on it. Keep going until you come to a large boulder shaped like a man's head. Turn left again and keep going straight until you get out of the forest. You should be by the bluff, make a right and keep going straight, the dorm should be right there."

The kids nodded baffled, "And make sure you follow my directions very careful, because if you make a wrong turn, you might not be able to make it out of the forest, ok."

The two kids nodded and squeaked, "Thank you," before they turned into the forest.

Once the Slifers were out of earshot the Obelisk's started cracking up over the trick they played on the freshman. Two Obelisks who had stopped to listen started cracking up as well, they appeared to be Alex and Nick's age, not a part of the group, just a couple of bullies.

One of them was short; he had a small round face. He had short blue hair and large green eyes that was enhanced by his large glasses, his mouth was small. The other one was tall, he had on a red headband and he had long brown hair that went halfway down his back, the hair was spiked up along the way.

Jard suddenly spotted his brother, "What are you looking at dumbface?"

Alex laughed, "Nothin', 'cept your ugly face."

Jard approached his younger sibling, "Whatd you say? You're on my turf now squirt, mom's not here to protect you so you should watch what you say and respect me because I can pound your face into a pancake got it?"

Alex laughed, "Whatever…tough guy."

Jard snarled, "Respect me, I am king, next time I want you to bow down to me k'?" His friends around him started chuckling.

Alex laughed and him and Nick proceeded on towards the Ra Yellow dorm, that was typically of Jard, he always thought he could boss people around.

The dorm was about five floors tall and the length of a small hotel. It was painted yellow and the entrance had a large glass window above it.

Alex and Nick trudged up the few steps to the front entrance; they opened the green doors calmly, and entered the Ra Yellow dorm.

Later…

Alex lay down on his bed. The room was painted a dull blue and his bed matched the color. His blanket was the same blue and it was folded neatly under a large white pillow. The room was a tad bit bigger then his room at home. His bed was up against a wall and on the other wall was a large window. A computer desk with a new computer on top of it stood next to the door on the other side of the room.

Beyond the door was a small room with a green couch and a small TV. Off to the side was a small kitchen with a table and beyond that was a tiled bathroom with a shower, toilet, and sink.

Alex had just finished unpacking his clothes into the wooden dresser next to the window and the closet across from the computer.

Alex strapped the silver metallic duel disk onto his arm; you never knew when it could come in handy.

Alex got up and pocketed the key to his room. He left the room and locked the green door. He proceeded down the hall to the last room, he quickly knocked on it. He heard heavy metal rock music blasting from inside. Alex knocked even harder until the banging echoed through the halls.

After a few minutes Nick answered the door, "Is it time already?"

Alex nodded. Nick grabbed his key and attached his duel disk. Without bothering to lock the door Nick and Alex proceeded outside the Ra Yellow dorm.

Trisha was already there sitting bored on the front steps. She had her duel disk on too and she rested her face in her hands.

"Hey Trish ready to go exploring," Nick asked.

Trisha looked up, "You guys are ten minutes late, what's up with that?"

Alex laughed, "Somebody here…" he stared at Nick. "…was holding me up."

Trisha rolled her eyes and Nick tried to look innocent.

Trisha got up and the friends decided to walk towards the school. After walking for a minute Alex spotted the two kids whom he saw laughing with Jard.

The two boys showed no sign of recognition as they came closer. Alex stood on the right side of Trisha and Nick walked on her left.

The two boys came closer and as they walked the short one banged right into Alex. Alex stumbled and banged into Trisha who fell to the ground.

The boys didn't stop until Trisha fell to the ground. They turned around and the short one spoke, "Oh I'm so sorry, I hope you're alright."

Trisha nodded and her two friends helped her up. "What I fine specimen you are," the boy said and he stepped forward.

Nick intervened, "Hey back off her buddy."

The short boy chuckled, "Why don't you let her speak for herself, I'm sure she would love to come with me."

Trisha grew revolted and Alex stepped forward as well. Trisha spoke up, "Um…I appreciate the gesture but…you're not really my type."

The boy laughed, "I'm sure given time you will come to your senses."

"Don't think so kid, why don't you and your friend go home before you embarrass yourself further," Nick intervened, "And apologize for knocking over my friend."

The kid with the long brown hair spoke up, "Hey do you know who we are? I'm Jay Raptor, Rex Raptor's kid. And this is Bugs Underwood, Weevil Underwood's son."

Of course Alex, Trisha, and Nick knew who Weevil and Rex were, they were pretty good duelists.

"Yeah but…didn't your dads get beaten by Yugi and Joey every single time?" Jay and Bugs' faces grew pale while Nick and Trisha snickered.

Bugs' face then changed to beet red, "How dare you insult my dad…I will crush you like an ant. If you think you're so tough then prove it," Bugs wielded his duel disk.

Alex nodded and wielded his. "If I win you promise to leave us alone," Bugs nodded.

"Of course that's not gonna happen. But when I win I get to go on a date with her," Bugs winked at Trisha.

"No way," Trisha shouted.

Alex confronted her, "Come on Trisha someone has to teach this guy a lesson…trust me…I'm not gonna lose."

Trisha nodded, "Ok but if you lose…you won't make to the first day of classes."

Alex nodded and his friends spread out to leave space for the duelists, Jay backed away as well, with a malicious grin on his face.

Alex and Bugs smiled, then in usion they shouted, "Let's Duel!"

Alex: 8000

Bugs: 8000
