Chapter 1
Converging Point
A few years after the events of Yu-Gi-Oh GX epsiode 180
Kyoryuu looked around the building bored out of his mind. He had been forced to help the with the entrance exams and wasn't even being paid, or allowed to use his Jurrac Deck, although he had smuggled in Herrera, who was now sitting on the floor sleeping. "How do you fall asleep sitting up?" Kyo thought out loud, then shrugged, figuring it was a dinosaur thing. Herrera was his spirit partner, who always was with him. He had seen quite a few spirits in his lifetime, and always took a moment to appreciate that fact. Especially today, with so many people being here, the chances of seeing an interesting spirit were...
"Kyo!" A voice called out.
The red-headed teen turned in his chair to see another kid his age walk over to him. Kyo grinned, realizing he now had someone to talk to. "Hey Koa," he looked behind Koa and nodded in acknowledgement. "Ghoulungulate." The zombie wildebeest looked at him and grunted. Koa duels with a Koa'ki meiru deck. Koa was his brains during his schemes should he need the help, not that he couldn't do it anyway, but usually he only had a short window of time to – well, we'll save that for another time. Ghoulungulate wandered over to Herrera, who was wide awake and talking to Ghoulungulate in his gutteral growling.
"Soooo...any talent in this batch?," Koa asked, pulling out his lunch. Kyo took a sip of his drink and looked at the arena, where several tables had been set for the enrolling students to eat. Any 2nd and 3rd year students who'd come to watch as well as proctors sat in the area above the arena, eating their lunches. It was lunch break, and Kyo needed this badly. He had been dueling all morning long and could use a break. He shrugged and leaned back "Meh...a bit. The best probably being a girl with a Naturia deck, name was...what was it again...oh yeah! Ametsuchi. I asked about her, and she's going to be an Obelisk. And get this, she had a duel spirit with her!"
Koa's eyebrows shot up in surprise " A spirit? What was it?" he asked eagerly. Kyo tilted his head, thinking about it. "I think it was called Naturia spiderfang." Koa glanced down to the duel arena and spotted her almost instantly, a spider like creature on her shoulder. She was talking to a girl shorter then her with long blonde hair...really long hair. It was kinda ridiculous. What Koa saw next to the other girl shocked him: it was Honest, a hard to find card, and almost unimaginable to him as a spirit. He looked to Kyo, who was handling this rather well. Koa gave him a questioning look. Kyo looked over casually, "duel number 7 this morning. Acctually decided to try a test deck. Let me say, those things are crap. Anyhow, her name is Animaru and she uses a thunder deck. Interesting cards, Zaborg the thunder monarch, Thunder king Rai-oh, (Kyo's eyebrows shot up at that one), Voltic kong...thunder stuff"
Kyo looked out at the arena to see if he could find the one kid he wanted to see...he began to feel concern...had he-
"Hey guys!" a voice cut into his thoughts and eased his mind.
Tanryoko walked over to the table where his friends, Kyo and Koa sat. They had been to duel academy already and had been forced to be proctors for the entrance exam. Despite this, they were year one students as well. They had been involved in a huge conspiracy type thing and had been kicked out for it. He didn't know the full details, but had noticed Kyo had mysteriously obtained a gun.
Tanryoko sat down at the table and pulled out his lunch. Not far behind him were his spirit companions, Night's end Sorcerer, shortened to Night's, and Magical Exemplar,lost in their own little world, as usual. Kyo looked over and greeted the two spirits, who looked over and barely gave him any sign of acknowledgement before being lost in their conversation again. Kyo couldn't hide the grin that grew across his face. Nights was totally oblivious to Exemplar's feelings toward him, and maybe oblivious to his own. He looked over and saw Tanryoko giving him a grin that said that he knew what he was thinking. Kyo looked down and chuckled, slightly embarrassed. He looked back up. "Have they...y'know?" Tanryoko shook his head, "Nope, but I have a hunch it won't be far off down the road."
All three looked down at the arena to look for anyone to point out, a few comments were made, but no one seemed to really catch their eye, save the two girls mentioned before. Their eyes roamed until they caught sight of two more duel spirits in the form of Machina peacekeeper and X-saber Palomuro, and sitting at the table a brown-haired boy who looked like a rookie and a black-haired one who looked arrogant, but skilled. " Well well..." Kyo mused, a smirk playing across his face. "Hmm..." Was the only thing Tanryoko said. Koa had the same grin as the other two. "I have a hunch things are about to become more interesting..."
