A/N: Well, finally it's time. The sequel to Return of the Four Best will begin as soon as my author's note and disclaimer is done. I thank everybody who reviewed to my last story. It is advised you read Return of The Four Best first, before reading this, but it actually really doesn't matter. Return of the Four Best took place around mid-year in Jaden's first year at the Duel Academy. This story takes place when Duel Academy has just let everybody out for the summer. There are some points that come from the game Yu-Gi-Oh! Reshef of Destruction. The biggest tournament ever is about to begin. I thank everyone who reviewed to my last story. Especially you, Setoglomper. Please read and review but no flames.
Disclaimer: I don't own Yu-Gi-Oh! or Yu-Gi-Oh! GX, but I sure wish I did.
"Jaden! Jaden!" Jaden's mom yelled. "Wake up!"
"I'm up. I'm up." Jaden said as he got out of bed.
"You got a letter." his mom told him.
Jaden took the letter and read it. He couldn't believe his eyes. It was invitation to come to Domino City. There was going to be a test. If you did well enough, you were allowed to participate in the annual World Tournament. It's where you determine the World Champion. Yugi Muto was currently the chamion with Seto Kaiba in second place. Jaden had always wanted to meet them again. It had been a while since he had seen those dueling legends.
"I wanna see them again." Jaden said.
"There's another suprise." Jaden's mom said.
"What?" Jaden asked eagerly.
"Syrus called earlier." his mom said.
"Cool, can I call him back?" Jaden asked.
"After you get ready." His mom replied while walking out of the room.
After Jaden got ready he called Syrus who answered the phone.
"Hey Sy, did you get this invitation?" Jaden asked.
"Yup." Syrus said. "I can't wait to enter. But the test must be taken by Wednesday and it's TUESDAY!"
"What?" Jaden asked horrified. "You mean we only have ONE day to study?"
"I guess so." Syrus said. "We better study now."
"I'm with ya." Jaden said. After they said good-bye, they hung up. Both of them studied all day, and stayed up late to finish.
The next day, Jaden hurried over to Domino City.
"Hey Jaden!" came a few voices. It was Syrus, Alexis, Chazz, Bastion, and Zane.
"Hey guys!" Jaden said. "You guys get invitations too?"
"You bet." Bastion said. "With all of this strategizing. All opponents are just theorem's to be cracked."
"Jaden, this time I'll crush you!" Chazz said.
"Patience." Zane said. "You first have to get a good score on the exam."
"You are correct." came a voice.
"What was that?" Syrus asked.
"Welcome challengers." It was one of the men from Industrial Illusions. (A/N: Industrial Illusions sponsers the World tournament)
"It's time to announce the rules." Another person from the company said.
"Many people were given invitations. We will be giving all of you tests. It will not be a easy test. Only the best duelists may participate in this tournament. It will be graded with a maximum score of 100 points. There will be no extra credit. If you score below 80 points, you are not permitted to enter." he finished. "Everyone take your places at the tables. We will be handing out tests momentarily."
"I better do well." Jaden thought.
"Piece of cake." Chazz though cockily.
"Hopefully, I'll do well." Alexis said.
"I've come up with perfect strategies. This will be a simple task." Bastion thought.
"I gotta do well. I gotta do well." Syrus thought. Then the tests were placed in front of each person and the exam began.
"You have two hours to complete this." The worker said.
Jaden set to work. He easily knew the first question.
True or False. Dark Magician can be special summoned from the deck by paying half of your life points, with the effect of Dark Magic Curtain.
"That's easy." Jaden said. He marked true.
"Meanwhile Syrus was having difficulty. He looked at his question.
When you equip Maha Vailo with United We Stand, Mage Power, Axe of Despair, and Malovelent Nuzzler with Maurading Captain in face-up defense position. What is the attack of Maha Vailo?
The question was multiple choice. A. 7350, B. 8850, C. 6850, D. 9050
"Oh man, I don't know." Syrus thought. "I'll mark C.
Bastion was obviously thought the test was easy.
When you special summon Blue Eyes White Dragon, and your oponent activates Royal Decree first and then Horn of Heaven, when the opponent has Kuriboh on the field what will be the result?
Bastion wrote the following: "Horn of Heaven will activate and Kuriboh will be sacrificed and the Blue Eyes White Dragon will be destroyed. Then Royal Decree will activate and no other trap cards can be activated."
"Hmm, this test is simple." Chazz said.
Finally the two hours were up.
"Everyone please wait, and we will come and take your tests." The men said.
Finally the tests were collected and brought up to the front.
"All right, in about fifteen minutes we will grade and post your results on the board. Remember if you score less than 80 points, you fail and may not enter." The staff member stated.
"I hope I did well." Syrus said.
"I know I did." Bastion said.
"It was not challenging at all." Zane said.
"That's because you know everything." Syrus said.
"Syrus, you need to believe in yourself." Zane said.
"All right everyone." The two staff members said. "The results are up!"
Everybody charged at the board knocking the six of them down. After they left the six walked up to the board.
"Yeah! 90 points" Chazz yelled.
"93." Alexis said smiling. "How'd you do Jaden?"
"82." Jaden replied. "Just barely. I put an all nighter!"
"98 points." Bastion said.
"Whoa!" everyone shouted. "98?"
"I got a 100." Zane said.
"Zane you ACED the exam?" Syrus asked.
"Yes, how did you do?" Zane asked him curiously.
"I don't know." Syrus said. He walked over and looked for his name.
"NO!" Syrus yelled.
"What is it?" Jaden asked.
"My score." Syrus said pointing. Jaden looked and saw Syrus's name and his score. Then Jaden also moaned.
"What did you get?" Chazz asked while grinning.
"A 79." Syrus said miserably.
"You were ONE point away." Alexis said.
"Sorry Sy." Jaden said.
"Well you guys have fun." Syrus said. "I'm just gonna go home."
"Now hold it." Zane said. "Now Syrus, just because you didn't score high enough, doesn't mean to give up. You can still root for your friends, and you may get the chance to duel."
"You're right Zane." Syrus said. "Now lets get going!"
"Everyone may we have your attention!" The staff members said. "There are 160 participants this year in Japan. "Each person will be placed in five divisions. A, B, C, D, E. They will be assigned randomly. There are 32 participants in each division. The winning duelist from each division goes off to the World Championships. Since the best duelists in the world are here. We get five reprasentatives. America has four, and a few other nations have one. Most nations don't have any. Only the sixteen finalists can compete in the World Championships. Now everyone who passed will recieve a letter. That letter determines your division. Now your letters are being passed out."
Jaden got his letter and it said. "B". Bastion's said "C". Alexis's said "D", Zane's said "E" and Chazz's said "D".
"So looks like we're gonna be seperated." Jaden said.
"Yeah, but me and Alexis are in the same divison. And I'll crush you this time." Chazz said.
"Look!" Syrus said pointing. "The names of who is in who's division. Wow, Bastion, Joey Wheeler is in your divison. And Alexis, and Chazz, Seto Kaiba is in your divison. Noah Kaiba's in the "A" divison. So is Yugi Muto. Mai Valentine is in the "E" division."
"So I guess we'll see them again after all." Jaden said.
"Wait." Chazz said. "You mean you were with those legendary duelists and I wasn't."
"Yeah, that's about right." Jaden said.
"Whatever, it's time for this tournament to begin." Zane said.
"Everyone please report to your divisons." Another staff member said. "We will start the first duel's shortly."
"Well good luck." Bastion said.
"Luck's for chumps." Chazz said.
"Hope ya all make it to the finals." Jaden said. "Bye everybody. Bye Alexis."
"Bye sweetie." Alexis said as she gave Jaden a peck on the cheek before they headed in different directions.
A/N: Well there is the first chapter. I know that it's not that good. Please review. The two men as well as Yugi and the other's will come into play next chapter. I just wanted to start off with the GX characters. I hope you guys all like it. If anybody read and reviewed to my "Solution is Possible" story, thank you. I forgot to mention this then, but I enjoyed seeing Yami lose in his duel against Rafael. I was tired of seeing him win all the time. PLEASE REVIEW!
