A/N

This takes place a week or so after Duel Academy starts. I'm exactly not sure when Jaden duels Chazz, so this happens a bit after that. Also, this has an OC main character and only the first chapter will be from someone else's perspective, although I will switch POVs from time to time.

Chapter 1-Arrival Of The Beast

"Wake up, Jaden!"

I heard my best friend and roommate, Syrus Truesdale, yelling to wake me up, as usual. I got up and turned to him. He has light blue hair, olive colored eyes, and the slifer red uniform.

"What's the problem, sy? Why are you yelling?"

"We're late again! Hurry up and get up!"

"Oh, no! This is the second time this week already!" I jumped up and rushed to get ready. Mr-er-Doctor Crowler is really going to lay into us today. After about two minutes, I finished getting ready and started running out of the door.

"Come on, Sy! We can't be any later!"

"Jaden! Wait up for me!"


I stopped for a bit, so Syrus could catch up to me. After he did, we ran through the forest all the way to Dr. Crowler's class. He was wearing an obelisk blue uniform, albeit with pink ruffles on the shoulders and collar. He also has blonde hair in a ponytail bound into a ponytail, and has crescent shaped earrings. As we ran in, he turned to us with a glare. Eh, tough love, I suppose.

"Late again, slifer slackers? Although, I suppose I shouldn't expect you to be on time. Take a seat, or do you want to go to the chancellor?"

"No, sir!" We both rushed to out seats, which were luckily near the front. After we sat down, I felt a tap on my shoulder. I turned back and saw my friend bastion Misawa. He has neat black hair, gray eyes, and wore the Ra yellow uniform.

He spoke in his signature british accent. "Why were you guys late this time?"

I grinned. "I overslept again."

He had a dumbfounded look, before he rubbed his temples. "Unbelievable. You guys are really Crowler's worst nightmare-"

"Yuki! Misawa!" Crap. Doctor Crowler screeched our names from the front of the room. "If you think that you

can talk over my lesson; Why don't one of you answer this question? Yuki, what is a ritual summon?"

Oh, he asked something easy. Phew. "A ritual summon is a type of special summon by using a ritual spell. You sacrifice monsters whose levels are equal to or greater than the monster you want to summon. You must have both the ritual monster and spell in your hand. Also, each ritual spell correlates to only the monsters in their texts."

Crowler grumbled. "I guess you were paying attention after all. Either way, turn around and listen!"

"Yes, Sir."

"Doctor!" He snapped.

After Dr. Crowler's class finally ended, it was time to go to my favorite class. That is, to say, practical dueling. Before I could leave, Bastion and Syrus called out to me.

"Hmm, What's up, Bas and Sy?"

Bastion seemed slightly annoyed. "Why do you give nicknames to everyone?"

"Because it's more interesting that way." He sighed, but ultimately didn't say anything.

Syrus decided to speak up. "So...did you guys hear?"

"Huh, hear what, Sy?"

"Yes, what are you talking about, Syrus?"

He seemed to be taken off-guard. "Really? If anyone knew, I thought it would be you two."

Now he piqued my interest. "Alright, spill it. What is it, Sy?"

He leaned in slightly and whispered. "There are rumors that a new student is coming here."

Bastion scratched his head. "Really? But why now? It's already been over a week."

"Yeah, now that you mention it. Isn't it a weird time to come here? You sure it's not just rumors, Sy?"

"Well, I never said that it was confirmed. But, from what the rumors said-he had an issue on the day of the exam, so he had to take on another day. And that's why he's late. We'll find out tomorrow for sure."

"Wait! It'll be tomorrow!" I realized that I shouted and quieted down in a couple of seconds, after apologizing.

"Why are you so excited? I just said that it was a rumor."

"Yeah, but think about it, Sy. If it is true; He's good enough that he made it into the academy without being there the first day."

"Ah, he's right. I may have to make a deck specifically for him, in that case." Bastion seemed giddy as well. I guess no matter how different we are. In the end, we're still duelists.

"Oh, by the way. Shouldn't we head to Practical Dueling?"

"Crap!"


"Sorry, we're late!" As the three of us rushed to the dueling field, we apologized to the teacher, Ms. Hatsuki. She has long, glossy silver hair that reaches her ankles, pale blue eyes, and wore the obelisk blue uniform, although the blue and white was inverted. She seemed amused and told us to take a seat. After we did, she went in the center of the dueling arena and spoke through a microphone, so that we could all hear.

"Okay, students of duel academy. Today we'll have you officially get situated to this school. Can two of you volunteer to duel in front of everyone here?"

My hand immediately shot up. She saw me and smiled softly. "Alright, in that case, Jaden Yuki and Elizabeth Yosuga. Come on up."

I giddily walked to the duel arena until I stood ten feet away from my opponent. My opponent was a girl a year or two older than me. She had black hair pulled back into a ponytail, hazy violet eyes, and wore a Ra yellow uniform. She smiled.

"Are you ready to lose?"

"Who? Me? Nah, i'll win." As we started up our duel disks, Ms. Hatsuki gave the signal to start our duel.

"Duel!"

Turn 1-Jaden-4000 Lp

Hand-5

"I'll go first!" I looked at my hand and smiled. I can beat her in a few turns. "First, I activate polymerization to fuse my Elemental Hero Burstinatrix and Elemental Hero Avian to summon Elemental Hero Flame Wingman!"

A blue and orange void sucked in my two cards and put a new one in their place.

(Elemental Hero Flame Wingman. ATK-2100, DEF-1200.)

"I end my turn. Your move."

Turn 2-ELizabeth-4000 LP

Hand-6

She smirked as she eyed my Flame Wingman warily. "So that's the card that took out Crowler's golem. Hom interesting. I draw!" She looked at her new card and smirked even wider. "I set three cards and place I monster in defense mode. End turn."

Turn 3-Jaden-4000 LP

Hand-3

E. Hero Flame Wingman-2100 ATK

"I draw." She has three facedowns and a monster. Now, the question is; Is she baiting me or are they actually strong cards. I have no choice but to find out. "I summon Elemental hero Sparkman. Next, i'll attack. Flame Wingman! Attack her facedown! Infernal Ravager!" Flame wingman opened his dragon mouth and poured a torrent of flames towards the facedown. As the facedown shattered, Elizabeth smiled as she wagged her finger.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk. I activate my destroyed monsters effect. When Moonlit Amulet is destroyed by battle-the monster that destroyed it can no longer attack or change its battle position." A silver necklace with a pale blue amulet appeared on the field before freezing Flame Wingman's wing.

So, it wasn't a bluff. "I activate Wingman's superpower. You take 1200 damage." Stray ember reached her as she grunted.

"Next, I attack directly with Sparkman! Go, Shining Surge Flash!" Sparkman slammed the ground, causing a lightning bolt to strike Elizabeth. "I end my turn."

Turn 4-Elizabeth-1200 LP

Hand-2

"Draw. I suppose it's time to take this seriously. I activate my facedown, call of the haunted. I resurrect my Moonlit Amulet, but don't get too attached. I activate polymerization to fuse the moonlit amulet on my field with the sunray amulet in my hand. Resonating hope shall defile the dream. Block the dream of a higher plane. Fusion summon! Level 6, Eclipse Pendant!" As she finished saying those words, a stream of half black and half white light flashed. I blocked my eyes and after I turned back to her field, I saw a Pendant that was half black and half silver. There was an engraving of a black sun on the silver side and an engraving of a silver moon on the black side.

(Eclipse Pendant. ATK-2000, DEF-1800)

"I activate my pendant's effect. I can lock down monster zones equal to the amount of monsters you control. So, say bye-bye to two of them." She waved and a black light fell on one of my monster zones and a white one on the other. "And then, I flip over my facedown. Solar Flare. When I control a light type monster, neither of us can use any trap cards. However, I can't attack this turn so...I end my turn."

Turn 5-Jaden-4000 LP

Hand-3

E Hero Flame Wingman 2100 ATK

E Hero Sparkman-1600 ATK

I may be in trouble. "I draw!"


Meanwhile, a boat was approaching duel academy. There was a fifteen year old boy laying down on the wooden boards with his eyes closed.

"So, are you excited to start your years at duel academy, er-sorry, but what was your name again?"

The boy opened his eyes and moved a red bang off of his eyes. He smirked and spoke in an excited voice. "Yeah, I can't wait. I'll crush them beneath my heel. Also...the name's Yuri Toujou."

A/N

And the first chapter is done. Let me know how I can improve this fanfic. So, basically tell me how I can make it more coherent, ideas you feel would make this better, or submit OCs if this story ever reaches that point. Also let me know whether I should describe canon characters, as I feel it gets redundant, but I want your opinions. Thanks for reading. Leave a review, and even follow if you feel like it. And with that, i'm signing off.
