Chapter 1 – The Boy:
"Attention new Duel Academy students. This is your captain speaking. We will be landing on Duel Academy Island very briefly. So insure that you are all strapped in safely. Next stop is Duel Academy Island" The overhead speaker said. There were was a hug rise in noise of scraping feet as people were pushing to get a view of the island. However, one person wasn't looking. A boy was sitting at the very back of the plane, alone. The boy was dressed in a red t-shirt, blue jeans, black shoes and a blue jacket. He was fiddling with his deck and quietly looking through all of his cards.
"Hey. Don't you want to see the Academy?" said a voice. The boy looked up and saw another boy with brown hair and brown eyes, staring down at him. The boy quickly lowered his head, down to his cards.
"No thank you. I don't really like heights" the boy said quietly
"Oh ok. I'm Jaden" the boy said, he noticed the cards in the boy's hands "Wow, can I take a look at your cards?"
"No" the boy said quickly, quickly stashing them away, before Jaden could get a glimpse.
"Okay" Jaden shrugged his shoulders, but before he could walk away, three other older boys prevented him from moving.
"Look what we have here, boys. Two stowaways on the plane" said the boy in the middle
"You said it, Chazz" said the boy on the left
"You're right, Chazz" said the boy on the right
"We are not stowaways. We are here to go to the Academy because we got in" Jaden said
"Oh really?" Chazz said nastily "And how, may I ask, did you two get into the Academy?"
"We passed, of course" Jaden said. There was a glint of recognition in Chazz's eyes.
"You're the rookie that beat Crowler and his Ancient Gear Golem, aren't you?"
"You could say that" Jaden said
"I suppose it does some skill to do that, but I could have beaten that Golem with my eyes closed and one arm tied behind my back" Chazz retorted, his eyes quickly flicked to the boy's deck
"What do you have there, pipsqueak? He asked, pushing past Jaden and looming over the boy.
"Hey, leave him alone"
"Nothing" the boy tried to stash his deck away from sight but Chazz was too quick and snatched his deck
"Hey. Give that back" the boy protested, but Chazz didn't.
"Look at all these lame cards, Kidmodo Dragon, Baby Tiragon, and Influence Dragon. What a bunch of weaklings, it would take me one turn to take you down, not even that" Chazz threw the deck back to the boy, scattering the cards everywhere and walked away laughing "That kid shouldn't even be here if he had cards like them" The boy bent down to pick up his cards, Jaden did also.
"No thanks, I can get them" the boy said
"Sorry" Jaden stood up and walked away, leaving the boy. The boy picked up all of his cards and put them away safely just before the voice over came on.
"Attention students, we are just about to come into landing, please take your seats and fasten your seatbelt" the voice said. The boy clambered into his seat and put on his seatbelt. The plane dipped and the boy held onto his seat hard, until the plane hit tarmac and the plane finally stopped. The boy got his bag and slung it over his back and walked off the plane, only to be shoved onto the floor by Chazz's friends.
"Hold it, runt"
"Chazz goes first before you do" Chazz stopped and stared at the boy
"You have a long way to go before you learn your place here, pipsqueak" he said, before walking off. Everyone else left but one, Jaden. He bent down and extended his hand. The boy grasped it and Jaden pulled him up.
"Thank you" the boy said, before walking off. Jaden was about to walk off when he noticed something glisten out of the corner of his eye, he looked and saw that there was a card on the floor, where the boy was sitting. The pilot came out of the cockpit.
"You not getting off, kid?" he asked
"Hang on a sec" Jaden went over to where the boy had been sitting and picked up the card. It was a monster card and Jaden couldn't believe what he was seeing.
"No way, it cannot be" he whispered to himself. He quickly stashed the card in his deck box and got off the plane. He looked around for the boy, but couldn't find him. Jaden got out the boy's card and looked at it
"Who was that kid?"
