I do not own Yu-Gi-Oh! GX!
Note: Throughout this fic, I will be using Japanese names. (Ex: In the name of my OC, Ryouta Kaito, Ryouta is the surname, and people do not call him by that name. It may be a little confusing for some who know very little about Japanese, but just bear with me.) I will also be using the Japanese names of some cards, if I think they sound better than the English names, and I'll call Slifer Red 'Osiris Red' instead. If I change the effect of a card, I'll let you know at the end of the chapter. I'll also list the descriptions of any new cards I put in a chapter at the end as well. Please PM me if you want to borrow some of these card ideas. But enough of all this, let's get to the fic!
Chapter 1: Card of Confidence
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"There! It's finished!"
It was the day before the entrance exams for Duel Academy (East Duel Academy to be exact), a high school for elite duelists. A blond teenage boy was sitting in his room looking through his deck. His name was Ryouta Kaito, and he just finished preparing his deck for the entrance examination. His hair was made up of hanging spikes, and its color turned darker towards the back. Despite the length of his hair, it didn't cover his hazel eyes. Kaito grabbed his Model 4 Duel Disk and deck, then bounded down the stairs, only to ram into a dark-haired girl.
"Hey, watch where you're going, Kai!" she said with a frown.
This girl was Kaito's sister, Miyu. Her light brown hair fell over and past her shoulders. She was roughly a year older than Kaito, and this would be her second year at Duel Academy.
"Sorry, sis," he said quietly.
Kaito wasn't really big on the whole confidence and excitement thing like the past protagonist, Yuki Judai, was. He was the shy, quiet type. Even though Kaito didn't know it, what would happen to him next would change all that.
Miyu just walked off to where she was going. Her father walked past her and up to Kaito.
"Son, I know tomorrow is an important day for you, so I decided to give you a little gift. A good luck charm, so to speak."
Kaito got a look of perplexity on his face. "Dad doesn't usually do this kind of stuff or act like this," he thought to himself.
His father reached into his pocket, and pulled out a card.
"I want you to have this card," he told Kaito, stretching out his arm to hand it to him. "I recently ran into a man who went by the name of Yuki Judai. I told him you were getting ready to take the entrance exams for Duel Academy, and it turns out he was a student there himself! He handed me this card, telling me to give it to you. Judai wishes you the best of luck."
When Kaito took the card, he looked down at it. It was a rather peculiar card.
"Wow! Thanks a ton, Dad!" Kaito exclaimed as his face lit up with excitement.
"I'm glad you like it, son," his dad replied with a smile.
Kaito walked over towards the front door.
"I'm going to Isamu's place now," Kaito called to his father, "See ya!" But before he walked out the door, he stopped as he remembered something else.
"Oh, and if you ever come across Yuki Judai again, tell him I said, 'Thank you'."
"Will do, Kaito."
Kaito opened the door and was about to walk outside, but he stopped again. But this time it was because he saw someone running up to his house. This person was Kaito's friend, Ito Isamu. He was a little short for a teenager, but he had a large bundle of spiky dark green hair, and thin black spikes (similar to Yugi's) hanging on the front layer of his hair. Not to mention, he also had a fairly large ego.
"I didn't expect to see you here," Kaito said in surprise, " I was just about to walk over to your house to duel you with my finished deck!"
"That's exactly why I'm here! So how 'bout it? You and me duel right here! So we can test our decks out for the entrance exams!"
"You've got it! But, uh, how 'bout we go out back so we don't crowd up the sidewalk?"
"Sure, whatever." Isamu shrugged.
When they reached their 'duel field', they each took out their disks and placed their decks in them.
"Activate Duel Disk!" they both shouted as they turned them on. Kaito's was a sleek, silvery blue disk, while Isamu's Model 2 Duel Disk wasn't as modern. The Life Point counters were set at max, they each drew a hand of five cards, and the duel began.
Kaito: 8000
Isamu: 8000
"I don't know why you use that old disk, Isamu."
"It's just that its the first Duel Disk I ever had, so I kept it. Now let's get back to the primary subject. Mind if I start?" Isamu asked.
"Sure, go ahead," Kaito said with a gesture of his hand.
"Alright! Get ready!" he shouted as he drew his sixth card. He placed it into his hand and selected another card. "I'll set a monster," Isamu declared as he placed the card on his Duel Disk face-down, "And that's all."
"That's it, huh? I wasn't expecting such a minor move," Kaito said as he drew a card from his deck.
"Oh, you won't think it's minor soon enough." Isamu smirked.
"We'll see about that." Kaito scanned his hand. "Um..." After thinking for a while, he selected a monster, and placed it on his disk. "I summon Galactic Being Aquarius Wave in Attack Mode!" (1700/1200) As he declared this summoning and slapped the card on his disk, a swirling tower of water shot up from the card's hologram on the field. When the water subsided, a muscular monster in an aqua blue and purple suit appeared. It had a large fin on its head and on other various parts of its body. The galactic monster struck a fighting pose.
"I see you've changed your deck," Isamu pointed out, "So your monsters are based on constellations? Interesting."
"That's right! And I've got plenty more of them in this deck!" Kaito then thought to himself, "Now let's see. I have no idea of what that face-down monster is. But there's no point in never attacking it, so I might as well." "Aquarius, attack that face-down monster!" At Kaito's command, Aquarius waved his arms back and forth slowly. Water balls started appearing on his hands, and Aquarius swiftly threw them at the unseen monster. When they came in contact with it, the card flipped up to reveal a small silver-armored alien type of monster with bulging red eyes. (300/800) As the monster was shattered, a veiny bulge appeared on the Aquarius Wave's arm.
"What the heck just happened?" Kaito exclaimed in confusion.
"The monster Aquarius just destroyed was Alien Grey," his friend explained, "Since it was flipped up before it was destroyed, I got to place an A-Counter on your monster."
"And what exactly does an A-Counter do?"
Isamu smirked again. "You'll see, Kaito. Now, since Alien Grey was destroyed after it was flipped, I get to draw a card." Isamu slid a card off the top of his deck, and grinned when he saw it. "Perfect! This card will really help."
"So Isamu's changed his deck, too," Kaito thought, "I've never seen these kind of monsters before, so I don't know what to expect."
"Are you gonna make a move or what?" Isamu was fed up with waiting for Kaito.
"Oh, sorry." Kaito snapped back to reality and looked at the rest of his hand. "I'll place two cards face-down!" Two brown-backed cards appeared behind Aquarius, who barely even noticed them. "It's your turn," Kaito said with a gesture of his hand.
"About time!" Isamu said as he drew his card, which brought him up to seven cards in his hand. He then instantly summoned a monster. "I play Alien Hunter in Attack Position!" (1600/800) A vicious and somewhat reptilian warrior with black armor emerged from its card. The alien bore a trident spear and had blue spherical jewels on its chest armor.
"Sorry, but that monster is 101 points short of being able to destroy Aquarius in battle." Kaito pointed out.
"Don't be so quick to judge," Isamu said while waving his finger. "Now, Alien Hunter, attack his Galactic Being!" The warrior leaped up into the air and thrust its spear at its target. Just before the spear made contact with Kaito's monster, Aquarius's ATK points decreased. (1700/1200 - 1400/1200) But when it did make contact, Aquarius was blown back, and then destroyed.
Kaito: 7800
Isamu: 8000
"Why'd my monster's Attack Points decrease by 300?" Kaito asked in astonishment.
"You see," Isamu explained, "each A-Counter a monster has on it decreases its Attack by 300 whenever it battles with an Alien monster, such as my Hunter. But I have something else to tell you. If Alien Hunter destroys a monster with an A-Counter on it in battle, it can attack again!"
"Not so fast! Your Hunter's not the only one with an effect! When Aquarius is destroyed in battle, I can summon a Galactic Being from my deck as long as it's Attack is 1500 or lower." Kaito then looked through his deck for the right monster to summon. "This should work. I summon Galactic Being Corona South in Defense Mode!" (900/2000) A crowned shadowy figure wearing a purple kingly cape came forth and crouched defensively. It bore a silver scepter with a misty purple gem at the head.
"My Hunter isn't strong enough to take that thing out, so I'll end my Battle Phase. Now I'll activate "A" Cell Cultivation Device!" Isamu slid the card into a Spell/Trap Card slot on his Duel Disk. "This card-"
"Hold on there! I activate my Trap Card!" Kaito pressed a button on his disk to activate the card. "Go! Magic Jammer! With this card, I can discard a card from my hand to negate that card's effect and destroy it!" He discarded a card from his hand and pointed at Isamu's Spell Card as it shattered. "Goodbye, A Cell...um...well whatever. It doesn't matter."
"No matter. I'll just place two cards face-down." Two face-down card holograms appeared behind Alien Hunter. "And with that, I'll end my turn."
Kaito drew his card and looked at his hand. "That monster shouldn't be too hard to destroy. 1600 Attack Points isn't much to match." He then discovered that none of the monsters in his hand were strong enough. "Darn! Well, at least I can stall with some defense." Kaito then saw something flashing out of the corner of his eye. It was coming from his Graveyard slot. "Oh yeah! Since I discarded Galactic Being Phoenix Blaze when I played Magic Jammer, I can use its effect to summon it to the field."
The card popped out of the Graveyard slot and Kaito took it. He placed it on his Duel Disk. When he did, a flaming bird-like creature appeared on the field in a large blaze of fire. (1500/1300) "The catch is that I can't Normal Summon a monster this turn. But I don't need to."
"Why's that?"
"Just watch!" Kaito took a Spell Card from his hand and slid it into a slot in his disk. "I activate Polymerization!" A huge vortex appeared behind the 2 monsters on Kaito's field. "And the monsters I'm gonna fuse are the King of the Swamp in my hand and my Phoenix Blaze on the field!" Kaito placed the 2 cards in his Graveyard, and Phoenix Blaze and King of the Swamp, which was basically a humanoid form made out of swamp water, got sucked into the vortex. But King of the Swamp seemed to shift form into a werewolf creature before it was fused with the other monster. "Did I mention that King of the Swamp can act as a substitute for a Fusion Material Monster? Such as Galactic Being Lupus Beast."
Out of the vortex emerged a werewolf creature with a flaming tail, vicious red eyes, and flames on its wrists and ankles. "Say hello to Galactic Being Lupus Wildfire!" (2400/1300) The creature howled as all the flames on its body blazed with fury.
Isamu winced at the sight of such a powerful monster summoned only on his second turn.
"And Wildfire gains 300 Attack for each monster on the field except himself!" (2400/1300 - 3000/1300) "Now, attack with Flare Slash!" As he declared the attack Lupus rushed towards the alien, preparing to strike.
"Before you attack, I'd like to activate a little Trap Card." The face-down card revealed itself and flashed. "It's called Crop Circles! It lets me sacrifice as many monsters as I want, then summon an Alien monster from my deck with a Level equal to the total Level of the sacrificed monsters! And since Hunter is Level 4, I can summon a Level 4 monster." Alien Hunter disappeared in a flash of light, and Isamu scanned his deck. "Perfect! I summon Alien Warrior!" (1800/1000) A beast even more vicious than the last alien took its place. This monster had silver armor just as Alien Grey did, but this one also had huge claws just as big as those of Lupus Wildfire. It roared angrily at Lupus before it was struck by its flaring claws and shattered out of existence. (3000/1300 - 2700/1300)
Kaito: 7800
Isamu: 6800
"Sure you may have saved a few Life Points by that move, but...Huh? Not more A-Counters!" Kaito realized his mistake as he saw 2 A-Counters appear on Lupus Wildfire.
"Yes, more! When Alien Warrior is destroyed in battle, the monster that destroyed it gets 2 A-Counters placed on it. And that's not all!" Isamu revealed his second face-down card. "I activate Damage Condenser! When I take battle damage, I can summon a monster from my deck with Attack Points equal to or lower than the damage I just took!"
"That's why you summoned it in Attack Mode. Well, at least any monster you summon can't stand up to my Wildfire. Even after the Attack Point decrease from your A-Counters."
"You're right about that, but I have something else planned. I summon Alien Mars!" (1000/1000) A strange alien with three tentacles was summoned. It had red spherical gems on its forehead and armor and stared at Wildfire with glowing green eyes. The A-Counters on Wildfire also started to glow green, and its Attack decreased back to its original amount. (2700/1300 - 2400/1300)
"What the heck is going on? Lupus should've gained Attack Points!"
"It's the special effect of Alien Mars." Isamu got a smug look on his face. "It cancels out any effects of monsters with A-Counters on them, except for Alien Mars, that is."
Kaito frowned. "Damn it! Every time I try to make a comeback, he finds some way to stop me! I hope this card will help." "I'll just set one card face-down and end my turn." Another face-down card shimmered onto the field next to the previous one as Kaito gestured for Isamu to make his move.
"My draw!" He called out as he clasped the top card of his deck and put it in his hand. "Excellent! I summon Alien Shocktrooper!" (1900/800) A green, muscular, four-legged (similar to a centaur) warrior equipped with a sword suddenly appeared on the field. Its feet were webbed and its armor was black. "Now, attack his Wildfire!" (2400/1300 - 1800/1300)
"I activate my Trap!" Kaito declared. Just then, a black vortex appeared behind Lupus Wildfire, and it jumped into it.
"Where did it go?" Isamu wondered.
"This Trap Card is called Spacial Warp. It removes one of my Galactic Beings from play..." Kaito explained as he placed the card in his pocket, "...then I get to summon a Galactic Being from my deck with Attack Points equal to or lower than the Attack of the monster I removed." Kaito searched through his deck. After several seconds, he found the card he needed and summoned it to the field. "I summon Galactic Being Corona North in Attack Mode!" (1900/1000) This monster was similar in appearance to Corona South, except its body was shining brightly, its cape and jewel were red, and its scepter was golden.
"Well, I don't want to destroy my Shocktrooper, so I'll place 2 cards face-down, switch Mars to Defense Mode, and end my turn." Two face-down cards materialized behind Alien Mars, who crouched and held up its tentacles in a defensive state.
"Okay. I have no cards in my hand, so I need a miracle if I want to win this duel. It's not really that important, but I want to know if my deck is strong enough for the entrance duel." Kaito drew his card, hoping it would be help him in some way. He glanced at the card and grinned. "I activate Pot of Greed!" A green, yellow-toothed grinning pot appeared next to Kaito. "I'm sure you know this lets me draw 2 cards from my deck." Kaito took his cards, and the pot faded away. Kaito smirked when he saw the cards he drew. "Say goodbye to your Alien Shocktrooper, because I summon Galactic Being Lupus Beast!" (2000/1000) As he slammed the card on his disk, a black-furred werewolf creature appeared on the field next to Corona North. Its eyes were a menacing blood-red color. Lupus snarled and took a ready position. "In case you're wondering what the catch is for a Level 4 2000 Attack monster, he's the only monster that can attack as long as you don't have any Spell or Trap Cards on your field, and last I checked, you do!" Kaito declared, pointing to the 2 face-down cards Isamu set last turn.
Isamu smirked yet again. "Not that it matters anyway because I activate Compulsory Evacuation Device! This card returns one monster on the field to its owner's hand! And I choose your Lupus Beast!" As Isamu pointed toward the monster that he selected, he noticed the jewel on Corona South's staff glowing brightly and also that his Trap Card shattered in pieces.
Isamu grimaced. "Darn it! What happened?"
"You see, as long as Corona North is on the field, Corona South negates the effects of any of your Trap Cards that target my Level 4 or lower Galactic Beings. And Lupus and your Trap's targeting effect fit the bill! Now, Lupus Beast, attack Alien Shocktrooper with Full Moon Slash!" Just as Wildfire did, Lupus charged forward and struck Shocktrooper with its razor sharp claws, causing it to screech eerily in pain and then shatter. Although the attack only did an insignificant amount of damage.
Kaito: 7800
Isamu: 6700
"Next, I'll have Corona North attack Alien Mars! Royal Radiance!" The luminous being released a huge flash of light from its scepter, destroying Isamu's last defense.
Kaito: 7800
Isamu: 5800
"Damn! I'm almost out of cards on the field, and I have none in my hand!" Isamu thought to himself.
"Lastly, I'll set a card face-down. And with that, I'll end my turn. I hope you can stand up to this, Isamu!"
"Trust me," Isamu said as he drew his card, "I do, too." Isamu smiled when he saw the card he drew. "Good! I activate Card of Sanctity!" Golden coins started falling from the sky. "What this does is let us each draw until we have 6 cards in our hands." Kaito and Isamu each drew 6 cards, completely replenishing them.
Kaito saw one of the cards he drew, and recognized it. "It's the card my dad gave me! Let's see if it's really good luck."
"Yes! First I play Attacking the Defenseless! This card destroys the monster on your field with the lowest Defense!
"Corona North has an effect that negates targeting Spell Cards on Level 4 or higher Galactic Beings, but that card doesn't target. Does it?"
"Nope! Since your Lupus Beast and Corona North are tied for the lowest Defense, I'll choose to destroy Lupus!"
A spear shot out of the card Isamu played, and it collided right with Lupus's gut. This caused it to howl in pain until it was destroyed. Kaito flinched and frowned. "Next, I activate Cosmic Reproduction! I can only play this when all my monsters were destroyed in battle last turn. It lets me Special Summon an Alien monster from my deck whose Attack is 1000 or less. And I choose a second Alien Mars!" Isamu looked through his deck for Alien Mars until he came across it and slapped it on his Duel Disk. (1000/1000) The familiar alien with tentacles came forth for the second time in the duel.
"I'll also chain a Quick-Play Spell to its summon. I play Raging Summoning of Hell! I can only activate this when I Special Summon a monster of 1500 Attack or less. This lets me summon all other copies I have of this card from my hand, deck, or Graveyard! It also lets you choose a monster to do the same thing to. Only there's no Attack Point limit to the monster you choose."
"Alright, then. I choose Corona North! Except I only have 2 copies of him, so I'll just summon 1 other one from my deck."
They each looked through their decks and selected the cards they would summon, but Isamu also picked out the other Alien Mars in his Graveyard. Two more Alien Mars monsters were summoned next to the first one, and another Corona North appeared beside its identical ally. (1000/1000)x2 (1900/1000)
"Well, in response to your Special Summon, Isamu, I activate Triggered Summon!" Kaito revealed one of his face-down cards. "Now we each get to summon a Level 4 or lower monster from our hands! And I choose a little friend of mine that my dad gave me. Say hello to Star Cocoon!" (300/500) This small monster was a radiant ball with big and hollow black eyes. Behind the ball was a yellow glowing star, and the monster was surrounded by a translucent shell. (900/2000 - 1300/2300) (1900/1000 - 2300/1300)x2 "Oh yeah! I forgot to mention that it increases the Attack of all Galactic Beings by 400 and their Defense by 300. What are you going to summon?"
"Nothing. I, unfortunately, have no Level 4 or lower monster in my hand. But I do have this..." Isamu grinned and placed a Spell Card in his disk. "...Hell Alliance!" The center Alien Mars started glowing red. "This Equip Card increases the Attack of the monster it's equipped to by 800 for each other monster on the field with the same name as it!" (1000/1000 - 2600/1000) The powered up Alien Mars started growing twice its size. "There's no way you can beat me! Alien Mars, destroy his Corona North!" The alien let out a beam of cosmic energy from the gem on its forehead, which was about to destroy Kaito's Galactic Being.
"He's right! Now there's no way I can win, even with all these Life Points! I might as well just surrender now." Kaito suddenly heard a mysterious voice coming from a card on his Duel Disk. "Coo...coo...cooo." "What was that? I felt something inside me." "Cooo...coo." Kaito looked at Star Cocoon on the field and realized that was where the sound was coming from. "Could that monster be telling me something?" "Coo...coo...coo." "Strange. I actually understand it. It's saying I should put more confidence in myself. That I can win! He's right!" Kaito saw that he had one more face-down card left. "That's right! The Trap Card I set at the beginning of the duel!"
"Not only am I going to stop your attack, Isamu. I'm also going to destroy all of your monsters!"
"How will you do that?"
"With this!" Kaito pressed the button that activated his last face-down. "Radiant Mirror Force! When you have 3 or more monsters on the field, it stops your attack and destroys all of your Attack Position monsters!"
"What? No! Mars, stop!"
"It's too late, Isamu!" Just as the name of the card suggests, a radiant barrier reflected the cosmic energy, which blasted all of Isamu's monsters away.
"Darn it! At least I still have this Mirror Force. It'll do the exact same thing that he did to me!" "I place one card face-down! Then I end my turn."
Kaito drew his card to start his turn. "Alright! This duel ends here and now!" "Get ready to lose, Isamu! But before I attack, I'll play this to destroy all Spell and Trap Cards out. Heavy Storm!" A dangerous storm whipped up, with high winds that blew away Isamu's 2 Trap Cards.
"No way! There goes my back-up plan." The storm then subsided. Isamu sighed. "Just finish me off."
"Before I do, I'll switch Corona South into Attack Mode." The shadowed figure stood up and was ready to attack. "It's been a fun duel, bud. Now, Galactic Beings, attack directly!" The jewels on the three royal beings' scepters all glowed with powerful energy, which was then fired towards Isamu for the win. The impact caused him to fly backward several feet.
Kaito: 7800
Isamu: 0
Kaito walked up to his friend and held out his hand to help him up. "You OK, Isamu?"
"Actually, I've never been better." Kaito helped Isamu get up. "That was the most awesome duel I've ever had! Thanks for giving me all you've got!"
"You know, Isamu, I think that duel actually boosted my confidence a little."
Isamu smiled. "That's great, Kai! See ya later!" Isamu turned around and walked home as the sun set.
Kaito looked down at the card he was holding, Star Cocoon. "It's all thanks to you! You're not just a good luck charm. You're also a friend."

Isamu doesn't have much trouble with the entrance test, while Kaito knows he flunked it. So he'll have to make up for that by acing his exam duel. His opponent, Katsura Hachiro, head of the Osiris Red dorm, is using a Normalcy Beatdown exam deck. Going up against cards that only benefit Normal Monsters, while Kaito has only Effect Monsters, he is going to have to find a way to win this duel with ease. Or else, he probably won't get into the academy. Next time, "Normalcy Beatdown"!
