Chapter 1: Reunions

It was a bright day at Duel Academy. The sun was warm, the skies were clear, and class was still boring. It had been a few weeks since everyone got back from the other dimension, and things were changing big time.

Syrus, along with Chazz and Blair, were now Obelisk Blues, Hasselberry is the ace duelist in the Ra Yellow dorms, and sadly, Jim, Axel and Jesse had to get back to their old schools to graduate. Bastion had come back from the different dimension a day after Jaden with no memory of what he happened after that bright flash of light from Jaden and Yubel's duel.

But the biggest change of all was Jaden Yuki. All of the students, his friends, and even his teachers noticed the dramatic change in his behavior.

Althogh his friends don't know the true reason he is acting this way, this was their only guess. He was no long the happy-go-lucky kid they knew in the first and second years at Duel Academy. His goofy grin was gone, and his once friendly and carefree spirit vanished.

Now, his eyes were guarded and lost it's sparkle for fun, his attitude was pushing everyone away, and he had become very distant. He was even going as far as ditching school almost every day to avoid his old friends questioning eyes and not have to explain himself, even though he has very good reasons for the things he is doing.

Today, the whole gang –Bastion, Alexis, Atticus, Syrus, Chazz, Blair, and Hasselberry- were in class, waiting for the day to be over so they could try and cheer Jaden up. Every time they caught a glimpse of him on campus, he was always wearing a serious face, deep in thought, and kind of sad...

"Hey, where's Jay?" Syrus asked hopefully, looking around the classroom. "Wait, don't tell me…"

Alexis nodded her head, "Yup, ditching class again. This is the third time this week."

Syrus put his head down, resting on his folded arms, "I thought he was getting back to normal after your tag duel together." He said while casting a quick glance to Hasselberry, Blaire, and Alexis.

"Yeah, I know whatcha mean private. I thought the Sarg was havin fun… he even smiled a real smile for the first time in a long time…" Hasselberry commented.

Blaire sighed, "I thought he was havin fun too! At least we know he's getting better, I mean, we all did see some of the old Jaden again, right?" everyone nodded. "All we have to do is get him to duel more and have fun, and then my Jaden will be back to normal!" Blaire clasped her hands together with a happy look on her face.

Blaire's last comment made Alexis twitch in irritation, "What do you mean by your Jaden?" she mumbled to herself. Jaden is her friend, but come on, he is a great guy that any girl would be lucky to have. Blaire didn't even notice, she was into her plan in bringing Jaden back.

Chazz scoffed, "Who cares?! We don't need that slacker back. You've got me!" he pointed to himself proudly, but only got cold glares in return. He was just trying to lighten the mood, because as much as he hated to admit it, he kinda missed his rival... if thats what you would call them now.

As if reading his mind, "Don't say that Chazz, you know you miss him as much as the rest of us. Maybe even more." Atticus teased, folding his arms across his chest.

Chazz growled, "No I don't! I don't miss that slacker at all!"

Bastion sighed and continued to create formulas on how to get Jaden back to normal and maybe restore his memory. "Will you please, for Ra's sake, be quiet!?"

"Yes you do!"

"No I don't!"

"Do to!"

"Do not!"

"Do to!"

"Do not!"

Bastion put his face in his hands from exasperation, trying to block out thoughts of creating a sleeping potion for those two idiots. Hint hint…

Alexis shook her head in embarrassment and disbelief at her brothers' utter immaturity. "Hey, remember what Mr. Crowler told us abou this special, Duel Academy visitors, weekend? Do you think it will cheer him up?"

"Cheer who up?" asked a familiar voice.

Immediately, everybody's heads shot up to find where the voice came from. At the top of the stairs, an Australian boy with a crocodile strapped to his back, a cowboy hat, and bandage over his right eye stood at the top of the steps in the doorway, wearing a big grin.

"Hey y'all!" another familiar voice called. A boy with a southern accent, teal blue hair, and bright emerald eyes, stepped out from behind the tall Australian boy and stood to his right. He also had a huge grin on his face.

"What's up?" and yet again, another recognizable voice came around the two boys. He stepped to the tall boys left. He had dark skin, serious eyes, and duel disk in the shape of a gun strapped to his leg. You could tell he lived like everything was a battle by his confident stance, but right now he was smirking.

"JIM! JESSE! AXEL!!" they all screamed.

Alexis stepped forward to greet them, "It's so great to see you guys!" she hesitated then asked, "What are you guys doing back?" she looked at them questioningly.

"Ah, that? Well, we called in a few favors, and 'ere we are." Jim explained smiling. Shirley even seemed happy. "We don't start class for another three days."

"It's great to see you guys again! But why do you want to come here? Especially after everything that happened…" Syrus asked in shock.

"That's the reason we're stayin', somethin like that can't scare us away! Besides, our schools got boring, and we can't just leave our best buds!" said the Crystal Beast Master. Axel and Jim nodded in agreement.

"Well, you know you're not the top duelists anymore." Blaire declared proudly, "You'll have to beat all of us and Jaden to get that title back."

Jim chuckled, "You're right. Now, who were you talkin' 'bout before we made our grand entrance? Oh, and where's Jaden?" At that moment, the atmosphere became solemn and grim. This sent chills up the Australians spine, which rarely happened.

Syrus stuttered a bit, "It's Jaden. You see, he's…"

The trio's eyes widened at his name. "What's wrong with Jaden?!" they all asked at the same time with worry in their eyes, and concern in their voices, Axel barely maintaining his cool.

Alexis was about to continue where Syrus left off, but Crowler just happened to come in at the right time with his usual greeting and showing obvious disdain for certain students. Alexis gave the boys an I'll-explain-after-class look.

The foreigners nodded and headed out the door before Dr. Crowler started yelling.

Outside the door, Jim, Axel, and Jesse were wondering what was up with Jaden.

"What do you think happened to Jay? They seemed pretty down when you mentioned his name." Axel directed his comment to Jim.

He shrugged, equally puzzled by their reaction, "Dunno, mate. When he came back, we barely ever saw 'im, and we had to leave soon after, so we couldn't really talk with him."

"Maybe he's still feelin' guilty about what happened in the other dimension…" Jesse mused, looking at the wall thoughtfully. "I mean, I would still feel guilty if I was the one to become… you-know-who, and did ...the things he did... even if my friends forgave me."

Jim nodded in agreement, "But still, don't you think he would at least try to calm everyone down? He's the kinda guy that would put his friend's happiness before his own."

Axel calmly said, "We should wait before we jump to any conclusions. We don't even know the whole story. Jim and I weren't there when Jaden faced Yubel, not even you Jesse."

They all shrugged and decided to give up on the topic until they knew the full story and decided to talk a walk around the school to reaquaint themselves with the large surroundings. And maybe even find Jaden to have a word or two with him.

JapaneseAnimeFreak16: Okay, that was the first Chapter! Good? Bad? Review and give me some pointers, and maybe some ideas! I've been daydreaming about this story for, like, FOREVER!! It gets better, I promise!!

Nicole: Hey, JapaneseAnimeFreak16, there are some lawyers outside.
