Me: Yes! Fan fiction number seven! And it's a Yu-Gi-Oh fic! My very first, so I hope you all like it. I will accept OCs if any are sent.

Drake: Reader does not own Yu-Gi-Oh. He only owns a few OCs.

Chapter One

"I can't believe I slept in! And on the day of registrations!"

The boy, Drake Johnson (age 16) ran through the streets of the city, on his way to the local duel stadium. He was Caucasian, with black hair and green eyes. Drake wore a pair of black rimmed glasses that kept sliding down his nose, and a black and white duel disk in the shape of a bat wing. A gray deck case hung from the belt loop of his black cargo pants, his red sneakers pounding the ground as he ran. A sleeveless black jacket hung from his body unzipped, a white t-shirt underneath.

"Of all the day's my alarms didn't go off, it just had to be today! Why does this always happen to me!?"

(Cue Intro)

Duels were going on all over the duel stadium as Drake ran in. A boy with white hair and yellow eyes, Xavier Eclipse (age 17) clapped, walking over to the other boy, the light bouncing off his dark skin.

"Well, that was a close call," Xavier said as Drake gasped for breath. "They haven't called your name yet for the duels."

Xavier was African-American, and was proud of it. He wore a green shirt and matching duel disk. A pair of blue jeans covered his legs partially, with several tears in them. A deck case, brown like his sneakers, was at his hip, empty as the deck was in the duel disk.

"At least I made it," Drake said, finally catching his breath. "So, did you do well?"

"The very first duel was my duel, and I beat the instructor with ease. No one can beat my Twilight Toy deck! Except you, of course." The two boys laughed at the statement when the intercom system turned on.

"Will Drake Johnson please head to the duel fields? Drake Johnson, head to the duel fields." The system shut off, and Drake smirked.

"I'm up. Wish me luck!"

"I don't think you need it." Xavier grinned and headed for the stands to watch the duel as Drake went down a flight of stairs to the fields. The field in the center was empty, except for a lone person.

The duelist, Obelisk Blue student Spencer Cairn (age 19), watch as Drake got himself ready. "I hope you're good, kid, because you're facing one of duel academy's best."

"I'm always ready for a challenge. The spirits of my deck are pumped as well, so I can tell that you're an amazing duelist." Both boys drew five cards after their duel disks shuffled the decks, and a holographic screen appeared, showing the life points of both duelists.

"It's time for the ascension of my dragons! I'll take the first move," Drake said, drawing another card. I can win this very turn with this hand. "I'll start off by summoning the Red Eyes Black Chick (ATK: 800 DEF: 500) in attack mode."

An orange egg took form in front of him and hatched, allowing the small dragon's head to pop out. The monster cooed, and every girl in the stadium went crazy over it. Xavier sweat dropped when a few guys started to hold the girls back.

"Next, my dragon is about to grow up. I tribute my chick to summon the Red Eyes Black Dragon." The baby went through a massive growth spurt, turning into the vicious adult version, which glared at Spencer.

"So you got out a power house! You can't attack still. So I can still be safe."

"Not if I have at least three cards in my hand. And I have four. First, I play the spell Inferno Fire Blast. Time to burn." Red Eyes opened its jaws and sent a burst of flame at the Obelisk Blue duelist, lowering his life points to 1600 as he raised an arm to block the flames.

Drake: 4000

Spencer: 1600

"Are you done yet," Spencer growled, not noticing as his jacket caught on fire for a moment. The moment he saw the flames, he screamed and beat at them, leaving a burn hole in his coat. "Wait, are you a psychic duelist, kid?"

"No, though that would be fun. Now, you lose. I play Magical Stone Excavation, and by discarding a card, I can bring back Inferno Fire Blast, which I'll use right away."

"Oh crap!" The flames rushed forth once more, and Spencer covered his face as he waited for the heat. The burst stopped inches away, fading from existence.

Drake: 4000

Spencer: 0000

"Drake Johnson wins," the intercom system said as the holograms faded, and Drake shrugged.

"I was expecting the exam to be more of a challenge. Then again, no one can defeat my Dragons of Chaos deck." He turned and went back up the stairs, leaving a stunned silence in the stadium, as even those dueling other duels had watched the single turn victory.

Xavier stood and walked over to his friend, a smirk on his face. "Well, you just scarred these duelists for life. And that is going to have to be a new record for shortest duel ever. But, did you seriously have to let the duel spirit catch him on fire?"

"I didn't let it happen. It just did." Drake leaned against a wall and watched as the other duels resumed,checking for possible threats to his undefeated record.

A faint light moved out of his deck and to his shoulder, where it stayed and watched with him. Both Drake and the light, a duel spirit, noticed one duelist, a girl, with a spellcaster deck of sorts, crushing her opponent with ease.

"She could be a real challenge," Drake whispered to the light, which was visible only to him.

"I sense a great power in her, Drake," the light replied at a normal tone, as he was also the only one who could hear it. "She is like you. Be careful around her."

"Am I not always careful?"

Me: And that is the first chapter! And Drake is using one of my many decks, yes. Other duelists will as well.

Drake: Please, R&R. I really hope I don't sleep in for duel academy...
