A/N: Welcome all to Yu-Gi-Oh! GX: The Duelist Genesis. This story is basically a crossover between Yu-Gi-Oh! GX and Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's. I say that because in this story, Neo Domino exists, as well as
some of the key characters from 5D's (the ones I like anyway). Yu-Gi-Oh! R: The Soul of a Duelist takes place fifth teen years after the adventures of Judai Yuki and company. This story centers on the main character, Daimon Hideo, and his adventures at the Duel Academia. The characters from Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's that are in this story are Rua, Ruka, Aki, Jeager,Yusei (as a supporting character) and Jack Atlus and crow. Without further ado, I present to you the first chapter of Yu-Gi-Oh! R: The Soul of a Duelist !
Duel 01: Entry Exams!
(Holy crap, I'm gonna be late!) a white-blonde haired boy thought frantically, tearing through the streets of Neo Domino. He had forest green eyes, and wore a long-sleeved red jacket with a high collar over black jeans. Strapped to his left arm was the newest model of the Kaiba Corporation standard Duel-Disk. The boy's name was Daimon Hideo, and if he didn't hurry, he was going to be late to the Duel Academia entrance exams!
As Daimon ducked and dodged several random pedestrians in his way, a towering blue sky-scraper began to come into view. A relieved grin broke out on Daimon's face and he redoubled his efforts. (Alright!I'm almost there!) Distracted by the towering building, he never noticed a lean form stepping in front of him from around a corner. Daimon and the other boy crashed into each other with a very audible *thud*,sending Daimon crashing to the ground.
"Hey! Who put a brick wall there..." Daimon muttered, rubbing his head.
As he began to regain his senses, he noticed someone extending their hand towards him. Looking up, Daimon saw that it was the boy he had just ran into. He had black hair with golden highlights and piercing blue eyes. He wore a long-sleeved blue jacket with a high collar and amber gems over a sleeveless black shirt with a red symbol. He also had on black jeans, with a deck box strapped to his belt. He was smiling.
"Go ahead, take my hand." the other boy said warmly. Hesitating only for a split second, Daimon took the other boy's hand and hoisted himself up.
"Hey, thanks man. I'm totally sorry about that, it's just that I'm lat,e and I really want to get into the Duel Academia!" Daimon explained as he rose to his feet, rubbing the back of his head.
"It's cool, that's where I was headed to as well. My name is Yusei Fudo, what's yours?" asked Yusei as he and Daimon started to jog in the direction of Kaiba Corp. HQ.
"My name is Daimon Hideo." replied Daimon, smiling and giving his new friend a thumbs-up.
"Nice to meet you, I hope we both do good on our entry exams,"
------
"HEY, C'MON, LET US IN!!" Daimon cried hysterically, banging his fists against the front desk of the Kaiba Corp. building, comical tears pouring from his eyes.
"Sorry my dear boy, but you are too late." said an unfamiliar (yet strangely annoying) voice.
Yusei and Daimon turned. Behind them was a man no taller than five feet. He looked very effeminate (was he wearing *lipstick?*), and was dressed in an opulent red costume with a black collar and gold trim.
"Hey I didn't know Saggi the Dark Clown was based off a real person." Daimon joked as he broke out into uncontrollable laughter. Yusei offered a small smile.
"How dare you!?" screeched the effeminate man, veins popping out all over his forehead. Raising a gloved fist, he pointed at the two younger males.
"Since you like making jokes, how about I challenge one of you to a duel? If I win, then you will have no chance whatsoever of getting to the Duel Academia. But of one of you win, then both of you will be on
that boat tomorrow heading to Duel Academia with the rest of the new recruits," The lipstick-man explained, strapping a Duel-Disk to his arm and walking off.
"Follow me," he commanded. "I'd like to get this over with."
------
"Welcome to the examination area. Obviously, this is where we'll be having our duel. My name is Jeager, and I am the assistant principal of Duel Academia. I will be your proctor today." Jeager announced, bowing mockingly. All of a sudden, the lights in the arena switched on, revealing a crowd of people.
"These people...they're from Duel Academia." Yusei noted, taking a glance around the area.
"Yes. I initially invited the students to come and watch only the official entry exams, but now they'll get another treat." Jeager promised.
"It doesn't matter, 'cause I'm going to give them a show they'll never forget! Sorry Yusei, but this clown's mine!" Daimon boldly declared as he placed his deck in his Duel-Disk. His Disk automatically shuffled his cards, already in active mode.
"Don't worry about it. I'll just go sit over there so I can watch," Yusei said, quickly making his way into the stands. He found a seat beside two green-haired twins.
(Daimon Hideo...) Yusei crossed his arms and legs, staring intently down at the arena. (...let's see what you can do.)
"DUEL!"
(Daimon: 4000/Jeager: 4000)
"I hope you don't mind, Saggi, but I'm going first!" Daimon joked, drawing his sixth card. Daimon studied his hand for a moment before making his move. " I summon my Speed Warrior (Warrior/Level Two/900/400) in attack mode!" Jumping out of a narrow blue portal, Daimon's monster appeared, letting out a loud battle cry.
"Now I play a magic card, Double Summon! This card allows me to normal summon one more time this turn, so now I summon Junk Synchron (Warrior/Tuner/Level Three/1300/500) to the field in attack mode!" Daimon smirked as his tiny monster appeared in a flash of golden light. "Now I'm going to tune my Level 3 Junk Synchron to my Level 2 Speed Warrior!" Daimon announced. His monsters jumped into the air, vanishing into a swirling green vortex.
"Clustering stars will call upon a new hope! Become the path that light shines upon! Synchro Summon! Show yourself! My Duel Partner! Junk Warrior (Warrior/Level Five/2300/1300)!"
A blue-armored warrior flew out of the vortex, red eyes shining. It performed a complicated flying pattern around the field before coming to a rest at Daimon's side, arms crossed in preparation for battle.
"Wow, that monster looks awesome!" exclaimed a boy in an Osiris Red uniform. He jumped out of his seat, leaning forward eagerly onto the railing to get a closer look. His green hair was pulled into a single, high ponytail with two shoulder-length bangs on either side of his face.
"Oh, Rua, sit down and be quiet!" commanded his twin exasperatedly. She wore an Obelisk Blue uniform, and like her brother, her hair was green, but done up into two high ponytails on both sides of her head, with two shoulder-lengths bangs hanging down on either side of her face.
"I'll set two cards and end my turn," Daimon stated, two brown-backed cards shimmering into existence before him.
"Not a bad move for a mere child," Jeagar mock-complimented as he drew. "I play Distrain Card! This magic card can only be activated when my opponent has two or more set cards in their magic/trap card zone. By my card's effect, I get to select one of those cards, and that card cannot be activated during this turn!" The set card the farthest from Daimon on his right began to cackle with purple electricity. "Oh, and did I forget to mention that if you choose to activate your other set card, you will lose 800 life points?" Jeagar laughed at his opponent's aggravated expression.
"I summon Jester Lord (Spellcaster/Level One/0/0) in attack mode." Jeagar said simply. In a shower of sparks his monster appeared, dressed in an orange and blue jester's outfit, juggling two orange-sized red balls. It let out a loud cackle, clicking the heels of its curved boots together in delight.
(This guy must really be a clown, summoning a monster like that...) Daimon thought, eyebrow rose. Jeager, as if hearing this thought, grinned maliciously and slammed a card into is magic/trap card slot.
"Activate Raigeki! All monsters on my opponent's side of the field are destroyed!" In a flash of lightning, Junk Warrior was obliterated.
Daimon scowled, angered at the loss of his monster, but was otherwise unfazed. "So what!? That stupid clown of yours still has zero attack points, so I'm still safe for the turn!"
Jeager wagged a disapproving finger, as though he were speaking to a naughty child. "Does he?" He still had that irritating grin on his face.
Rolling his eyes, Daimon glanced at Jester Lord...and nearly had a heart attack. Jester Lord: (Spellcaster/Level One/3000/0).
"When my Jester Lord is the only monster on either player's field, he gains 1000 attack points for every magic and trap card on the field!" Jeager laughed. "Jester Lord, direct attack! Royal Bash!" With a loud cackle, Jester Lord flung his balls at Daimon, aiming for his chest.
Daimon scoffed and pressed a button on his Duel-Disk. "Reverse cards, open! Descending Lost Star! Negate Attack!" Junk Warrior suddenly appeared again on Daimon's side of the field, a swirling vortex swallowing the two balls. Daimon smirked at Jeager's furious look and gestured to his Descending Lost Star.
"This trap allows me to special summon one Synchro from my grave in face-up defense mode. Its Level is reduced by one, and its defense becomes zero. However, I activated Negate Attack to prevent you from destroying my Junk Warrior a second time. Now, if you're done...?"
Jeager jerked his head forward once in response, eyes almost bulging out of their sockets. Now that Daimon had summoned a monster to the field, his Jester Lord's attack had been reduced to (Spellcaster/Level One/0/0) .
Daimon drew, and winced as a powerful electric current ran through his body. "I take 800 points of damage thanks to your Distrain Card..."
(Jeagar: 4000/Daimon: 3200)
"I summon a second Junk Synchron (Warrior/Tuner/Level Three/1300/500)!" As his warrior made its reappearance, Daimon smirked. "You know what comes next, don't you?"
Jeager looked puzzled for a moment...but then it dawned on him. "You mean..!?"
"Yes! I tune my Level 4 Junk Synchron to my now-Level 4 Junk Warrior!" His monsters nodded at each other before jumping into a green vortex.
"Clustering stars will call upon a new hope! Become the light that shines upon our dreams! Synchro Summon! Show yourself! Stardust Dragon (Dragon/Level Eight/2500/2000)!" Daimon's dragon appeared with a loud roar, sparkling with star dust.
Up in the watchers' area, Yusei smirked. (I think I found my rival...) Yusei pulled a card out of his deck box and held it up next to the holographic representation of Stardust Dragon from his seat. Junk Archer(Warrior/Level Eight/2300/2000).

Stardust Dragon has appeared! Can Daimon win his way into Duel Academia, or does Jeagar have move tricks up his sleeve? Find out next time on Yu-Gi-Oh! R: The Soul of a Duelist: Duel 02: Crow The Bullet!

The Duelist in this fic uses the standard Duel-Disk that was used in YuGiOh 5Ds. If you have any ideas on any original OCG cards you have, please let me know so I could use them in my story.
