This is my first fanfic, a sort of crossover between Yu-gi-oh GX (currently my fave anime) and Silent Hill (Which I saw a short while ago in the theater). I got help from my friend Kerisu, who also has an account on this site.
Oh! And I'll be using dub names, since I've only ever seen the American version of GX.
Summary (sort of): Following the Shadow Riders incident, Jaden and the gang (Syrus, Bastion, Chazz, Atticus, and Alexis) decide to try and find the other students that had disappeared in the abandoned dorm.
Disclaimer: I don't own Yu-gi-oh GX, and I don't own Silent Hill. If I did, stuff like this would happen all the time.
Silent Academy
--Chapter One--
Atticus and the other students ran for their lives, trying to escape from the horrible creature. He glanced to his left, at his roommate. The blue, gold, and black-haired boy, Desoto, looked back at him, fear shining in his emerald eyes, and tears streaming down his cheeks.
"What did we do Atticus?" Desoto cried. "What did we do to deserve thi-AAAAGH!" his question was cut off as the giant metal blade shot through his midsection. Atticus stood staring, horrified, at the scene before him. The great blade was being held by a giant, demonic executioner with a large, pyramid-shaped helmet on its head, spattered with bright red blood. It raised a grotesque, pale arm that was covered in open cuts, and suddenly dozens, no hundreds of roaches crawled out from under its dirty robe, climbing their way up its body and then swarming around the poor teen who was still alive, still trying to free himself from the blade.
Atticus was unable to move, or even scream, as the roaches began eating Desoto alive. It wasn't until the roaches completely devoured the now dead teen and began to move en masse towards Atticus that he found his voice.
"NOOOOOOOOO!"
Atticus jerked awake, panting and covered in sweat, tears still streaming out of his eyes. He looked around, eyes wide, finding that he'd been sleeping in class. For some reason, though, everyone seemed to be staring at him… And not in a good way like when he said or did something funny. The people closest to him even looked… scared?
"Mr. Rhodes," Doctor Crowler called from the front of class. "I would like to request that, in the future, if you simply must sleep in my class, then at least try not to make so much noi-oh, are you all right?" he interrupted his own mini-lecture when he noticed Atticus was still crying.
Atticus looked up again. Drawing in a shaky breath, he replied "Ye-yeah… I think I'm okay…" He wiped some of the sweat and tears off of his face with the sleeve of his white-and-blue blazer. "I'm fine," he said, when most of his classmates, even Jaden and Chazz, kept staring. Finally, everyone turned back to the front. Atticus slouched a bit, quietly sighing. 'That's the third time this week this has happened…' He thought. 'Something has to be done.'

"So tell me again," Chazz said, "Why am I following you all out to the lighthouse in the middle of the night?" He let out a yawn, covered by his black gloved hand.
"You were given a choice, Chazz," Bastion stated, his words slightly muffled by the green and black scarf around his neck. "You could've stayed behind if you wanted to, but you didn't. That's your fault, not ours."
Chazz snorted in response. To him, he hadn't really been given a choice. Sneak out after dark with Jaden and his friends on what seemed to be the coldest night of the year, or stay back in his warm, cozy dorm room with all his annoying duel spirits. He'd decided that, either way, he wouldn't get any sleep. On top of that, it was Alexis who invited him, so here he was.
At that same moment, Jaden was walking a bit ahead of the group, humming absentmindedly, as his best friend and roommate, Syrus, clung to his arm, shivering from the cold.
"J-J-Jaden?" Syrus started, his voice shaking, "Ch-Chazz is kind of right. I mean, it's late, it's cold, and it's against the rules to be out! We could all get in serious trouble!"
The bluenette looked up at his Aniki, who grinned back. "Aw, come on, Sy! We're almost at the light house anyway, and it's not like we're doing anything really bad. I mean, after the whole "abandoned dorm" thing, anything we do now is nothing!" He grinned again.
Syrus shuddered. He never wanted to even think about that creepy place again. Ever.
"Shut it, Slifer Slackers. We're here," Chazz said, pointing. Sure enough, at the end of the pier, next to the small lighthouse, stood Atticus and Alexis Rhodes. Alexis was in her usual school uniform, though she had her dueling gloves and a pair of black-and-silver hi-top sneakers on that no one had ever seen before. Atticus, on the other hand, had on the red Hawaiian shirt from when Chazz held his love duel with Alexis. This time, though, he had a black, long-sleeved turtleneck on underneath. He was also staring off into the distance with a blank expression on his face.
"Alexis!" Jaden called to her, waving. Alexis turned to the four boys now jogging up to her and her brother and smiled. She waved back.
"Hey guys," she said softly, once they'd gotten close enough. Then she turned to Atticus, who hadn't given any indication that he knew they were there. "So, mind telling us why we had to come out here tonight, Atticus?"
Atticus jumped at the sound of his sister's voice, and turned to look at the others. After it registered that everyone was there, he nodded, a smile tugging at the corner of his mouth. "Good. Follow me. I'll explain on the way."
Syrus piped up, "On the way to where?"
Atticus's smile faltered. He turned to the small blunette, an unreadable look on his face. "To the abandoned dorm."
