Summary: A mysterious thing has appeared on Duelist Academy Island, and it seems that school and dueling tournaments are the least of Judai's worries. Pairings: Judai – Asuka. I cannot say anymore for danger of revealing too much (spoilers) about my story.

---------Notes--------

Disclaimer: I do not own nor am I affiliated with Yu-Gi-Oh GX. I only own the characters that have been made up. However, parts of names that are not original are Alpha and Lycan, which came from Artix's game AQ.

Also, I am bad at creating names for characters, so if you write a review do not say "You have dumb/lame/etc. names" because I already know.

When in a duel scene, words in italics are thoughts whereas words in ( ) are actions.

Chapter 1: Shadow WereDeck

As the sun began rose, bringing forth a new day, a cloaked figure stood atop a cliff overlooking the horizon. "Soon it will begin…," it muttered. Then, as suddenly as the light touched the island, the figure was gone.

--------- 10 minutes before class starts

"Get up Aniki! We are going to be late again!" shouted Shou.

Judai awoke with a start and glances at the clock.

"Uh oh, we better run. Good thing I was too lazy to change out of my uniform last night. Let's go Shou," Judai said as he rushed out the door while attempting to put his shoes on.

After class ended, Judai, Shou, and Misawa were heading back to their dorms after lunch when Fubuki ran up to them with a worried look on his face.

"Have any of you seen Asuka? I've been looking for her all morning and I can't find her. I am getting really worried," panted Fubuki.

Judai looked at him with concern and answered, "No we haven't, but she was in class this morning. The last time I saw her was when she was leaving class. She went off somewhere with Momoe and Junko. But don't worry; we'll help you look for her, right guys?"

"Definitely," Misawa and Shou replied in unison.

The four of them then split up, going in different directions to find Asuka.

--------------8:00 PM, after countless hours of searching

Judai continued through the forest, searching for Asuka and hollering her name. He hadn't received a response all day and was beginning to tire. He couldn't hear any of the others and knew they were far away. Unfortunately, he didn't know the way back out of the forest: he was lost.

After wandering aimlessly through the forest for some time, he noticed a thin golden piece of hair on the ground. He instantly recognized it as Asuka's and excitement filled him once more. Energetically, he began to shout for Asuka again. He then heard a rustle in the bushes a few yards in front of him.

"Asuka…? Is that you?" he whispered as he crept closer.

Suddenly, a black wraith-like figure emerged and stared straight at Judai. The area where the face should have been was completely black. He thought he could see a shallow outline of its face, but it was so dark that the lines seemed transparent.

"Who are you?" Judai asked in surprise.

Then, in an eerie crackled voice, it spoke, "My name is none of your concern, but you may call me Werechi. And if you ever want to see the girl again, you must duel me in a shadow game,"

Judai then noticed Asuka. She seemed to be unconscious and was laying a few feet behind Werechi on the grass, engulfed by a reddish sphere.

Judai: I am going to have to beat this guy to save Asuka. And plus, what kind of man backs down from a challenge?

"I accept your challenge. Duel!"

(A purple and black could emerges and engulfs the two duelists)

Judai – 4000 LP

Wraith – 4000 LP

Meanwhile, another cloaked figure was standing solitary on the same cliff that it had been earlier, perceiving the duel that was about to begin.

"My draw," shouted Judai. "Now I play E. Hero Clayman (800/2000) in defense mode and throw down a face-down. I end my turn."

Werechi: "That was pitiful. You call this dueling? I will show you what it means to be a real duelist,"

(Werechi draws a card. He then looks at Judai and laughs)

Werechi: "I play Werewolf Warrior (1600/1000) in attack mode and activate the equip card Lycan Slasher. This card increases the attack of a werewolf monster by 800 pts. Before I attack, I'll play one card face down. Now, Werewolf Warrior (2400/1000) attack Clayman!"

(Clayman is destroyed)

Judai: "Argh, oh well. Don't count me out just yet; I'm still getting warmed up. (Draws a card) Perfect! I summon E. Hero Sparkman (1600/1400). Next I'll activate the environment card skyscraper. It raises the attack points of all monsters with 'elemental hero' in their name, so E. Hero Sparkman's attack points are raised to 2600! Now, Sparkman attack Werewolf Warrior!"

(Werewolf Warrior is destroyed, but no LP damage is taken)

Judai:(confused) "What the… Your LPs are still at 4000!"

Werechi: (amused) "Oh, I'm sorry, did I forget to mention Werewolf Warrior's special ability? You see, whenever it is destroyed in battle, it negates all LP damage that would normally be dealt to me. Thus my LPs remain at 4000."

Judai: "It is a drawback, but I will not lose. I end my turn."

Werechi: "You fool, of course you will lose. And I will prove it! (Draws a card) I activate the magic card Card Destruction, which makes us send the cards in our hand to the grave yard and draw the same amount of cards again. (Judai and Werechi both dump their hands into the graveyard and draw new cards)

Judai: Good thing I didn't have any cards of special use in my hand.

Werechi: "Now I activate Werewolf Reincarnation. This card works just like Monster Reborn, except that instead of bringing back 1 of any type of monster, I am allowed to resurrect 2 monsters, but they must be werewolves. And I know just the two to bring back: Werewolf Warrior (1600/1000) and Werewolf Lycan (1800/500), which was one of the monsters I discarded. Next I activate polymerization to fuse the two to form Alpha Werewolf (2800/1700). Finally, right before I attack I will play one more card face-down. So now, I attack E. Hero Sparkman with Alpha Werewolf!"

Judai: "I activate Mirror Force! It negates the attack and all monsters in attack mode are destroyed, so your Alpha Werewolf is destroyed!"

Werechi: "You amuse me… I suppose my wolf is gone and now I am in trouble right? Well before he is destroyed I activate his special ability. Whenever Alpha Werewolf is the target of a trap card, I am allowed to instantly destroy one of my opponent's monsters. The damage is still done to your LPs as if I attacked normally."

(Sparkman and Alpha Werewolf are both destroyed)

Judai – 3800

Werechi – 4000

Judai: "That is fine because soon I will return the favor! Now it's my turn (draws a card), and you know what? Your LP are about to take some serious damage. I play polymerization to fuse E. Hero Avion and E. Hero Burstinatrix to create E. Hero Flame Wingman. Now, because of skyscraper, Flame Wingman's attack is raised to 3100! Go Flame Wingman, attack his LPs directly!"

Werechi: "Well, it looks like you are quite the duelist aren't you? Sadly, you're not good enough. I activate my face-down card Werepyre Recovery. This card is activated whenever an opponent attacks my LPs directly. I just have to discard 1 werewolf monster from my hand to the graveyard and your attack heals me instead of hurting me."

Judai – 3800

Werechi – 7100

Judai: "Darn it. I play a face-down card and end my turn."

(Werechi draws a card)

Werechi: "Now I activate Call of the Pack. I am allowed to summon a werewolf monster with more than 4 stars without sacrifices from either my hand or my deck as long there are at least 2 werewolf monsters in the graveyard and if the difference between our LPs is more than 2000. Since I have three werewolf monsters in the graveyard, and, thanks to you, I have 3100 more LPs, I have met the requirements. Now behold my ferocious monster, Alpha Werewolf King (3100/2700)! Alpha Werewolf King has a special ability. (Begins to laugh maliciously) I am allowed to pay any amount of LP during any of my turns to raise Alpha Werewolf King's attack power. The number of LPs I sacrifice are added on to my beast's attack. I think I will pay 4000 for now (Judai – 3800/Werechi – 3100). It seems your last turn has helped me in so many ways (laughs evilly). This duel is over, so bid your body farewell Judai! Alpha Werewolf King (7100/2700) attack E. Hero Flame Wingman!"

----------------------------------- End of chapter 1

Will Judai be able to survive this attack? Will he be able to save Asuka? And who is this mysterious cloaked figure?

Read the next chapter to find out! Story will be updated anywhere from 2 days to a week later. I already have the next few chapters planned out, so you can expect the next couple chapters to be online soon.

Also, please review my story because I would appreciate feedback so I know what to do better and what to change. And as mentioned above, please do not write a review that says I have dumb names such as Werechi because I already stated that I am not very creative when it comes to inventing names.
