Hello everyone! Zenzak101 here to bring you the very first chapter of ESP war! I just want to thank everyone who submitted entries and those who let me use some of their characters. Those two are my two good friends Mewstar0013's Angel and Lordsoftheroses Colin Kennant. I will use them in later chapters, because you can't expect me to introduce every character in one chapter. Anyway, let's get this story underway!
Somewhere in deep inside the Arcadia Movement: 3:50 AM
A man shrouded in white walked down the hallways of the Arcadia Movement. Beside him was a scientist who worked for the Arcadia Movement. Eventually, both of them came to a door that said "RESTRICTED." The man opened the door and both of them entered.
Inside, there was a view window that showed a room that had four scientists and some kind of machine. Inside the machine, there was a kid with a special apparatus on him that monitored his PSI level. He also had a mask on that fed him oxygen. The machine was filled with a green liquid that kept the boy asleep. Next to the machine, there was a life support system. It had a slow, steady beat. Above the life support system, there was a PSI gage, which was hooked up to the apparatus on the boy. His PSI level was at about 120, which was 4 times the regular amount any psychic duelist had.
The boy was bare chested, and he had a six pack. He had pale skin skin that seemed colorless, even in the liquid. He also wore black, leather pants. His hair was the color of ravens, and even though it drifted upwards due to the machine, you could tell he had messy hair.
"Is the subject ready?" asked the man in white. He had a deep, raspy voice.
"Almost, but there is one problem," replied the scientist.
"What is it?"
"It's just that, he hasn't the strength to control his full psychic powers. If we were to bring him out of the machine, his mind would melt right before our eyes."
"Hmm, what do you suggest we do about this?"
"I do have a plan, but it'll require twenty four hours to complete. We would install a device is his nervous system so the device could be the closest to the brain. Then, this device will bring his PSI level to 30. And the machine would also generally feed him more PSI power over the course of the next two years."
"That sound's good. Continue on Miss Zelda, and remember, the clock is ticking," said the man in white as he walked out of the room.
The woman sighed. She walked over towards the boy and went to work.
Inside the Arcadia Movement: 6:30 AM the next day
The very same boy from the lab lay on a bed, which was about as comfortable as a bed of needles. Yet he slept without a sound. At the side of his bed was a deck, D-Gazer, D-Pad, and alarm clock. There was also a bedside lamp that gave off a feint light. On one wall of the room, there was a bookcase with a bunch of old novels, such as Romeo and Juliet, The Adventures of Tom Sauer and Huckleberry Fin, and many other timely classics. At another wall, there was a small desk with a lot of loose leaf paper and writing utensils of all types. Near the door, there was dresser that was neatly organized with all of the boy's clothes, including his uniform.
Suddenly, the boy groaned and opened his eyes. He sat up and looked around.
"W-where am I?" asked the boy in confusion. He got up an looked around. He looked at the desk and noticed a paper out of place and a pencil on top of it. He walked over to it and picked up the paper. It said:
Good Morning Kane:
Make sure to get dressed in your uniform and get to morning orientation by 7:30. Afterwards, come find me in my office so we can properly get you orientated. Make sure you bring your deck.
Sincerely:
Divine
"That's good and all, but who the HECK IS DIVINE!" yelled the Kane, crumpling the paper and tossing it away. He sighed. He was frustrated because of one thing. He couldn't remember anything. He couldn't remember anything except two things. One: His name, Kane Arnold. Two: He could remember that he was a good duelist.
Kane caught his eye on the deck of cards on the bedside table. He walked over to them and picked them up. He shuffled through them.
"No way, th-this is exactly how I remember my deck. But how?" He sighed, "Well, might as well get some answers from this Divine character," said Kane as he started changing into his Arcadia Movement uniform.
Arcadia Movement: Morning orientation hall: 7:30
The uniform was a gray suit and gray dress pants. Everybody in the movement wore a gray hat that shadowed their faces, making people's expressions pretty much indescribable.
It wasn't hard to find the orientation room. When Kane waked out of his room, there was a wave of people walking down the hallway, so all he had to follow them to get to the orientation room.
The orientation room was a HUGE hall that could fit about a thousand people. It was brightly lit (Unlike most of the building), so you could she most of the people there. On the wall, spaced about 20 meters apart. At the end of the hall, there was a stage with a podium, standing there was a man in about his late twenties. He had reddish colored hair that covered his right eye. He had yellow colored eyes that seemed to stare into Kane's soul. His attire simply consisted of a green vest, black pants and under shirt, and a white tie. He had a confident sneer on his face. Behind him stood twelve people in white robes, each of them carrying a long sword. To the man's right was a girl who looked absolutely miserable.
Everyone who attended was in many neat rows and columns, standing like they were in the military.
The man at the podium cleared his throat and began to speak. "Good morning everybody. Today, we welcome a new person into the Arcadia Movement family! His name shall remain confidential until we can make sure he can hold up on his own. Well, you all know the drill. All who do not complete their tasks today shall not get any dinner," said the man as he walked off the stage. Obviously, that man was the man who went with the Allis Divine. Every person in the room dispersed, leaving Kane following Divine to his office.
Arcadia Movement: Divine's office: 7:50 AM
Kane stopped in front of two huge wooden doors, each carved with great detail. He hesitated. The look he saw on Divine's face. Could he actually trust this man? Well, he had to, for now. Divine was the obly person who would have answers about Kane's past. Kane was about to knock on the door when he heard a voice say "Come in". This made Kane almost jump out of his skin.
Kane opened the door to see a vast office with one wall that was completely a window that over looked a city. The floor had a red carpeting, but at the edges, it was wood. On the sides of the room, spaced 10 meters apart were medieval armor carrying spears that were longer than Kane was tall. At the very end of the room, was a small desk that's size didn't match the rooms. The same man who was from the podium was at the desk, shuffling through papers.
To the right of the man's desk stood the same girl who stood by the side of the man during orientation. She wore the customary uniform for the Arcadia Movement. Peeking out of the hat was raven black hair that draped down to her waist, and her hair had crimson streaks in it.
"Hello Kane, I've been expecting you," said the man, not looking up from his papers.
"Y-your Divine, right?" asked Kane
"Why yes, that would be me," he answered, looking up from his papers, "Are you ready to start your entrance exam?"
"First of all, you are gonna answer me some questions," said Kane, annoyed.
"All in due time, Kane," the girl beside him whispered something in Divine's ear, "it seems we have to get moving immediately. We have the testing room just for a while." For some reason, Kane didn't like the idea of that.
Arcadia Movement: Testing Facility: 8: 10 AM
Kane, Divine, and the girl walked into the testing facility. It was a long hall way with people crowded in watching duels. There was only one open, and Kane guessed that was his.
When Divine passed the members, the knelt, saying, "All hail Divine".
Divine turned and looked at Kane, "Well, walk into there to start your duel Kane." Kane did as instructed, being handed a d-pad and d-gazer by the girl. Suddenly, a small device descended from the ceiling. It looked like a duel disk, but had a small arm that placed cards on it.
"Commencing duel mode. Preparing deck, running strategy A.I.," said a disembodied voice coming from the machine.
"Alright let's do this!"
Duel Start
Kane: 4000
A.I.: 4000
"I'll go first! I'll set one monster face down and end my turn."
"It is my turn now. I activate the spell card future fusion. I can now send cards from my deck for a fusion summon of any fusion monster. I send to my graveyard three blue eyes white dragons."
"You have three of them!"
"Why yes I do. I select in my extra deck Blue eyes ultimate dragon. Now in two turns, I can get him to my field. I activate my spell card dragon's mirror!

I tune my ESP Mage with my ESP Gardna to create on off my strongest cards! Come on out, ESP Android!" 2500 ATK./1600 DEF./LEV. 7/LIGHT/Psychic/Synchro. It looked like a regular woman, but you could obviously that see was an android. She wore a white dress and wielded a sword with a strange curve. She had crimson hair that went down to her waist. "I now activate her effect. I can remove from play one ESP monster in my graveyard in order to destroy on your field! I remove from play my mage and my gardna to destroy your future fusion and your Blue eye's ultimate dragon."
"Hmm, even if you destroyed my monster's your monster still can't defeat me."
"That's where your wrong! My android gains 300 attack for every monster removed from play! So she's at 4300!"
"Unbelievable," said the A.I.
"Now attack with PSI Wave!" The android swung her sword, sending a shock wave at the A.I.
"I activate my trap! Magic Cylinder! I can now reflect your attack back at you!"
"Well, I activate my trap! ESP Neutralizing Wave! Now if there are more than 5 monsters removed from play, all traps and spells are neutralized for three turns during my turn!"
"Then I special summon from my hand battle fader. Now your attack ends."
"I activate the effect of my android. To keep her on the field, I must select one ESP monster that's removed from play and put it in my graveyard. I also set one card and end my turn."
"My turn. I play mystical space typhoon to destroy your ESP Neutralizing Wave. Next, play to my field Fusion Buster!" 0 ATK./ 0 DEF./ LEV. 4/DARK/Warrior.

"Fine, I shall defeat your monster face down."
'I need that one card. Come on…'
"Alright! I activate the spell card known as Miracle Synchro Fusion!"
"I'm sorry, you don't have the right payment to activate the spell card. Wait a minute. Android's effect. You put that ESP monster in your graveyard for a reason!"

The eyes of ultimate Axon kicker reddened and he stared at the face down card. The face down exploded, damaging the A.I. and winning Kane the duel.
Kane: 4000
A.I.: 0000
The A.I. system disengaged and ascended towards the ceiling. Kane looked at the viewing window. Quite a crowd had gathered, and the seemed impressed. Divine had a proud look on his face, and he motioned for Kane to follow him. Kane did as instructed and followed Divine back to his office.
