[Chapter 1: Next King of Games!]
Kaiba Duel Dom!
It was a beautiful day in Domino City, Japan, but most teenagers where inside the Kaiba corp Duel Dom. A young girl around the age of 15 sat in the stands looking out over the duels that were taking place, but only a few duels got her attention as of right there. There was a duel with a young boy who has really mass light blue hair and another with a boy who has onyx colored hair. The girl in the stands brush back her dark blue butt length with bangs that covers her forehead as well as frame her face beautifully while her sharp emerald green colored eyes and her hourglass figure was slightly covered, but showed through a white blazer over a black v-neck long sleeve button down shirt that has a white button down dress shirt underneath, midnight blue mini skirt, black mid-thigh length socks, a black heart on a black ribbon, and brown dressed shoes.
Well Misaki Valentine please report to test field 3! I repeat well Misaki Valentine please report to test field 3!
The young girl smirked as she stood up and all eyes turned onto her as she walked down the stairs heading for the field. When she got there she was standing face to face with an exam prompter who was smirking at her.
"Your name?" the Examiner asked.
"Misaki Valentine sir," she answered.
"Well, Miss Valentine, are you ready?" he asked.
"Oh, I'm ready," Misaki answered as she ready her duel disk. "As a matter of fact I'm Mega ready! So Let's Kick it Up a Notch"
Examiner: 4000
Misaki: 4000
"Ladies first," Misaki announced as she drew her sixth card before a smirk appeared across her face. "I summon Cyber Hero Roll in Atk mode!" A blond girl wearing a pink bodysuit and helmet appeared in front of Misaki. (Atk 1200) "Next I'll place two cards face down to end my turn."
"Fine," the Examiner said as he drew his sixth card. "I summon Battle Ox in Atk mode." A mentor appeared on the field. (Atk 1900) "Now Battle OX Atk her Cyber Hero Roll!"
Misaki braced herself for the atk that destroyed her monster.
Misaki: 3400
Up in the top part of the stands stood a young woman with blond hair and two young men. One with trio-color hair in the shape of a star and the other with messy blond hair.
"That's not a smart move," the trio-color haired man said.
"I think Misaki is planning something big," the woman told him, "just be passionate Yugi."
"Mai's right Yugi," the blond man said with a smile.
They looked back at the duel just in time to see the examiner to end his turn with a face down card.
"My move," Misaki said as she drew her next card, "I activate Monster Reborn to bring back my Cyber Hero Roll." Once again her monster appeared on the field ready for a fight. "Next I'll summon Net Agent Lan Hikari!" A young boy with brown massy off to the side hair appeared on the field. (Atk 1400) "Now I activate the spell card Polymerization!" The Examiner let out a gasp. "This let's me fuse Net Agent Lan Hikari with Cyber Hero Roll to fusion summon...Cyber Hero Megaman in atk mode!"
A boy wearing a verity of different colors of a blue bodysuit and a blue helmet with some yellow appeared onto the field. (Atk 2300)
"I was wondering when you'll summon me," the boy said as he looked back at Misaki with green colored eyes.
"Sorry about that Megaman," Misaki apologized.
"So this is the Duel Academy Entrance Exam?" Megaman
"Yup," Misaki answered him before choosing a card from her hand, "I active the spell card Cyber Sword and I'll equip it to Megaman." Megaman raised his arm that turned into a deadly looking blue sword.(Atk 3800) "Alright are you ready Megaman?"
"I'm Mega ready," Megaman answered her
"Then take out that Battle Ox!" Misaki ordered.
Megaman did as he was told and brought the Examiner's life points down by 1900.
Examiner: 300
"I'll end my turn with a face down," Misaki concluded.
"Now it's my move," the Examiner said as he drew a card, "I placed a monster face down defense mode and then I'll place one card face down. I end my turn."
"Well, then my move," Misaki stated as she drew a new card, "let me see?" She looked at the card and then her hand before smirking. She then looked up at the Examiner. "I summon Cyber Hero Iceman in atk mode!" A short young boy wearing a winter cloak making the girls in the building to awe. (Atk 1500) "Now first I'll have Megaman atk your face down!" Megaman shot forward before slicing the monster in half. "And last, but not least I'll have Iceman to atk you directly with Cyber Blizzard!" Iceman blew cold air at the Examiner. "And That's all she wrote folks!"
Misaki did a three finger salute as the examiner's life points and the holograms vanished.
Examiner: 0
"Welcome to the academy Miss Valentine," the Examiner told her before walking off the field.
Misaki took her deck out of the holder on the duel disk and placed it into the deck holder that she has strapped on her right side waist before walking way. Unknown to her was that her duel didn't go unnoticed because when she reached the leading she was greeted by a boy with two tone brown massy hair, Caucasian colored skin, big brown colored eyes, and a muscular figure and she had to admit that he was cute.
Misaki's duel from Jaden's pov!
Jaden just barely made it to the exam to get into Duel Academy and when entered the building you ran forward to watch the duels.
"Look at them go," Jaden replied though what really cought his attention was a guy with black and gray eyes as he won his match. "Wow, that last guy really tore it up."
"Yeah," a voice next to Jaden agreed, "that's Bastion Misawa. I heard that he got the highest score on the Entrance Exam out of all of us applicant right behind a young girl names Misaki Valentine, the younger Sister of Mai Valentine."
"Wow," Jaden said, "I just barely passed mine."
"Yeah me, too," the voice agreed, "I'm Syrus by the way. I have a thing where I get test excaity. I don't know how I passed my exam."
Jaden slapped him on the back with a laugh.
"Well, congratulation," Jaden told him, "I'll be in as soon as I win my duel."
Syrus looked at Jaden in shock.
"Wait you haven't dueled yet?" he asked.
"Nope," Jaden answered.
"Well, I think you have a problem," Syrus said, "I think the duel over there, the one with the silver purple haired girl is suppose to be the last duel."
Jaden started to freak, but looked over at the duels that Syrus pointed out to Jaden and saw a young girl with dark blue butt length with bangs that covers her forehead as well as frame her face beautifullywhile her sharp emerald green colored eyes and her hourglass figure was slightly covered, but showed through a white blazer over a black v-neck long sleeve button down shirt that has a white button down dress shirt underneath, midnight blue mini skirt, black mid-thigh length socks, a black heart on a black ribbon, and brown dressed shoes.. The girl in arena right now had a monster out with a face down cards on the field and the Examiner had just summoned a monster. It was then that Bastion showed up and took a seat in front of them where he took off his duel disk before he put it down. Jaden leaned on the railing smiling at Bastion.
"That was a tight duel Bastion," Jaden told him.
"Thank you," Bastion thanked.
"I summon Battle Ox in Atk mode." A mentor appeared on the field. (Atk 1900) "Now Battle OX Atk her Cyber Hero Roll!"
The girl braced herself for the atk that destroyed her monster.
The girl: 3400
"Cyber Hero?" Jaden asked in confusion.
"Yes," Bastion answered making Syrus and Jaden to look at him, "a new HERO Archetype series that was created about a year ago."
"That's cool," Jaden said with a smile, "She's one hell of a duelist now I can't wait to duel her."
"My move," the girl said as she drew her next card, "I activate Monster Reborn to bring back my Cyber Hero Roll." Once again her monster appeared on the field ready for a fight. "Next I'll summon Net Agent Lan Hikari!" A young boy with brown massy off to the side hair appeared on the field. (Atk 1400) "Now I activate the spell card Polymerization!" The Examiner let out a gasp. "This let's me fuse Net Agent Lan Hikari with Cyber Hero Roll to fusion summon...Cyber Hero Megaman in atk mode!" A boy wearing a verity of different colors of a blue bodysuit and a blue helmet with some yellow appeared onto the field. (Atk 2300) The girl answered him before choosing a card from her hand, "I active the spell card Cyber Sword and I'll equip it to Megaman." Megaman raised his arm that turned into a deadly looking blue sword.(Atk 3800) "Then take out that Battle Ox!"
Megaman did as he was told and brought the Examiner's life points down by 1900.
Examiner: 300
"I'll end my turn with a face down," the girl concluded.
"Now it's my move," the Examiner said as he drew a card, "I placed a monster face down defense mode and then I'll place one card face down. I end my turn."
"Well, then my move," the girl stated as she drew a new card, "let me see?" She looked at the card and then her hand before smirking. She then looked up at the Examiner. "I summon Cyber Hero Iceman in atk mode!" A short young boy wearing a winter cloak making the girls in the building to awe. (Atk 1500) "Now first I'll have Megaman atk your face down!"

Examiner: 0
"Welcome to the academy Miss Valentine," the Examiner told her before walking off the field.
The girl took her deck out of the holder on the duel disk and placed it into the deck holder that she has strapped on her right side waist before walking way. The girl headed back to the leading Jaden moved to greet her and now that he had a better look he couldn't help, but think that she was beautiful.
"Hi," Jaden greeted.
"Hello," the girl greeted back.
"That was an awesome duel," Jaden told her, "you just might be the second best duelist here."
"Thanks…Um," the girl looked at Jaden wide eyed.
End of Jaden's pov!
"Jaden Yuki, please report to duel arena 3. Jaden Yuki, please report to duel arena 3."
"Well, it's go time," the boy named Jaden said, "wish me luck guys."
"Hold on!" Misaki called out making him look at her. "If I'm second best then whose first?"
"Your looking at him," Jaden told her, "it's what I'm best at."
It was then that he ran off to the arena where he was to face a he-she as Misaki likes to call the teacher, but the correct title is Dr. Crowler.
"He sure is confident," the boy who she saw dueling when she came in said. "Isn't he?"
"He has to be," a voice said from in front of her making her look at the owner. "Look who he's dueling."
Misaki walked up the stairs to get a good view of the duels from the top level where she saw the young girl around her age, a young woman, and two young men.
"Mai!" she called as she ran up, "Yugi! Joey! Annabelle!"
The four of them turned around to see her making the two men smirk and the woman smile and once she reach them she and Mai hugged then she gave Annabelle a hug before Misaki gave Yugi and Joey a hug. All four turned around to watched as Jaden got ready to duel and saw who his opponent was what she likes to call the Gay Clown Man or more commonly known as Dr. Crowler.
"I can't tell if that a he or she," Misaki said, "is that a he-she or a Gay Clown Man."
"Misaki," Mai scolded, "you know better then that."
"Sorry Mai," Misaki said as hanged her head.
"Now, now, Mai," Yugi laughed nervously.
"It's true," Annabelle said with a smile.
"Anna," Yugi stern.
"Sorry Yugi," Anna said.
"Alright test time," Crowler said, "so son your name?"
"Uh?" Jaden asked confused, "Jaden, Jaden Yuki."
"Well, 'Uh Jaden Yuki'," Crowler said, "I'm Dr. Vellian Crowler. Department Chair of Techniques here at Duel Academy."
"Wow," Jaden said in awe, "a department Chair. I had no idea. From how you were dressed I was thinking you were some weird Academy mascot. Like a majorette or a cheerleader. *Laugh*"
Misaki giggled knowing that she was going to enjoy having Jaden around when he get into the school.
"Duel vest on," Dr. Crowler said.
"Hey!" Jaden said in even more awe. "That's pretty sweet teach. How do I get one of those cool duel blue blazer?"
"Oh a lot of hard work and extremely high marks," Crowler answered, 'of course you'll first have to get into Duel Academy and I'm going to make sure that won't be happening.'
"Well, I'm ready!" Jaden told him.
"So let's duel!" both Crowler and Jaden announced.
Crowler: 4000
Jaden: 4000
"Here goes," Jaden said as he drew his sixth card, "sweet I'm going to summon Elemental Hero Avian in def mode! I'll also throw down a face down. Alright. Get your game on!"
"Yes very good," Crowler said, "don't tell me what to do." 'After all since I'm using my own personal deck whether then one of those test ones. I'll be calling all of the shots. I'll fail that insect little brat and send him home in no time.' "Alright. For this first move I think I'll start nice and easy. I choose to play the card Confiscation."
"Ok," Jaden said, "what it do?"
"What it does is it let's me pay 1000 life points for a chance to peck at your hand and toss one of your cards in the graveyard," Crowler answered.
Crowler: 3000
Jaden's cards appeared in front of Crowler who started to look around at them.
"Huh, yes," he said, "I remember some of these from back when I was a naive rooky. Which one sill I banish?" He then pointed to a card. "Monster Reborn to the graveyard." The card turned around before being destroyed which shocked Jaden. "Next I lay two cards face down on the field and last, but not least I play Heavy Storm. This spell card destroys every other card spell and trap card on the field."
A storm started up before it destroyed Jaden's face and as well as Crowler's.
"Oppsy," Jaden said, "did you forget that you had two trap cards out on the field yourself?"
"Now, now," Crowler said as he shock his head. "You mustn't speak out of turn young scholar."
It was then that the field turned dark.
"What's happening?" Jaden asked.
"Nothing's happening," Crowler answered, "not yet and that's about to change."
Two golden snake-like monsters appeared onto the field shocking not just the students down below, but Misaki and Anna.
"What an elitist snob," Misaki said, "bullying an amateur with his very best cards."
"This is totally unfair," Anna added in.
"I'm going to have a word with Kaiba about him," Yugi let out a sigh.
"I'm right with you," Joey agreed.
"Ready for you next lesson?" Crowler asked.
"You bet," Jaden answered, "I can't remember the last time learning was this mush fun."
"Yes," Crowler said, "well, I'm quite the exactly teacher. Thank you." Cole rolled her eyes at that. "Now I sacrifice my two Wicked Token and summon Ancient Gear Golem!"
"There it is," Mai said in awe, "the legendary rare card."
"I'd say we're about to find out what makes it so legendary," Yugi said.
"I prefer the God Cards over that hunk of metal," Misaki and Anna mumbled.
"Now, now," Crowler said, "I hope your not to scared of my legendary Ancient Gear Golem."
"No way," Jaden said, "I've always wanted to take one on."
"He's staring down that legendary rare monster like he doesn't have a care in the world," a male voice said in shock, "I guess that youth and inexperience have there benefits after all. Huh, Alexis?"
"Come on?" a female voice asked, "give it a rest Zane? At least the kid's showing some back bone"
"There won't be mush left to show after this."
Misaki, Joey, Mai, Yugi, and Anna all looked over to see two Duel Academy Students standing not that far from them before the looked back at the duel.
"*Laugh* Golem Atk!" Crowler ordered, "Mechanize Melee!"
Jaden: 2000
Misaki and Anna let a frown speared across their faces as they thought that the boy was crying.
"*Laugh* don't fell bad," Crowler told him, "this is the top dueling school in the country. Some people are simply not cut out for…"
"*Laugh*"
Anna and Misaki was shock to find out that the boy wasn't crying, but laughing making her giggled at the sight.
"I really want to come to this school now," Jaden said, "you really know your stuff teach.'
'Can't he take a hint?' Crowler thought, 'he well not be allowed to past this exam and he surely won't be permitted to make a mockery of my deck.'
'Just look at him tremble,' Jaden thought, 'he must really be impressed by me.' Jaden then went to draw his next card when he heard a sound. 'Huh?' Jaden went to drew the card see that it was Winged Kuriboh the card that was giving to him by Yugi Mutou himself who told him that he had a feeling that it belonged with him. 'It's you. You know something starting to tell me that, too.' As Jaden looked at the card he thought that Kuriboh winked at him. 'Um, alright I'll take that as a sign to play ya. Yeah defiantly.' "Ok, I summon Winged Kuriboh in def mode. And I'll place one card face down. Not bad, uh, teach?"
Misaki, Mai, Joey, and Anna looked over at Yugi who had a smirk on his face making the four of them to raised their eyebrows, but they just went back to watching the duel.
"*Laugh* Not bad, but you must understand I'm a master technician," Crowler said, "a Kuriboh to me is whether pedestrian even one with wings. You see, it's def points is still no match for my Ancient Gear Golem. It's a textbook mistake don't feel bad."
'Baka,' Misaki thought as she watched, 'with Winged Kuriboh's special ability it's not a textbook mistake.'
"Now let's precede," Crowler said as he drew his next card. "With the legendary Ancient Gear Golem. Atk that Kuriboh with Mechanize Melee!"
'Sorry Winged Kuriboh,' Jaden thought.
"Check your gear," Crowler told him, "your life points hasn't changed."
"My gears are fine," Jaden stated, "oh the turn Winged Kuriboh is destroyed I take zero damage."
Misaki and Anna laughed while Crowler freaked out about this new turn of events.
"How about that?" the female student asked, "a technique the Dr. didn't know."
"No one can be expected to know every technique Alexis," the male student said, "especially one as obscured as that."
"Yeah," Alexis asked, "well, that kid sure knew it."
"Fine, fine," Crowler said, "I guess your lame little monster saved you there."
'Oh he did not,' Misaki, Joey, Anna, and Yugi thought as their eye twitched.
"Hey, slow down there teach," Jaden told him, "you may have beaten him, but that doesn't give you the right to call him lame."
"Oh yes," Crowler said, "I forget how attached you new duelist get to your monsters. I'm sorry."
"Yeah," Jaden agreed, "well, you should be cause by Atking my Winged Kuriboh you set off a trap card. One of my favorite's, too. Hero Signal. And that brings out my second Elemental Hero. Burstinatrix!" A female hero appeared on the field in front on them. "My Turn." Jaden drew his next card. "Alright Winged Kuriboh this next one is going to for you. Here goes nothing. First I'm going to bring back avian to my hand with the spell card The Warrior Returning Alive! And now I'm going to summon him to the field."
Misaki smiled as a male hero appeared onto the field next to the female hero.
"Oh, ok," Crowler said, "another amateur mistake. This is good. This is good. Now would anyone like to tell me what our little friend here…"
"No actually I wasn't done yet," Jaden told him, "see I know that my two heroes aren't powerful by themselves, but if I can from them together it's another story. And I have just the card to unite them. Polymerization join together Avian and Burstinatrix. Fusion Summon. There he is. The Elemental Hero Flame Wingman." A monster that was green and red appeared on the field. "I hope your Gear Golem is ready for a clash of the titans. So teach what do you think?"
"I think your dueling very well for an amateur, but next time try playing a monster that has more Atk points then what's already out," Crowler told him.
'Baka,' Misaki and Anna thought.
"Alright young scholar, I don't mean to rush you, but I am a busy man," Crowler said, "are you done yet?"
"Of course I'm not done yet," Jaden answered, "and of course I knew that my Wingman has less Atk points then your Golem, but that's why I have this. Skyscraper!" Jaden placed a card into a slot on the side of the duel disk before a city shot up into the air around them. "Alright Flame Wingman. Go show them heroics and Atk that Ancient Gear Golem!"
"Fine with me," Crowler said, "bring him on. This silly little Skyscraper field card hasn't lowered my Golem's Atk level by one point."
Misaki giggled as Yugi, Mai, and Joey shocked their heads.
"He doesn't know anything about the Hero Archetypes does he?" Mai asked as she looked at Yugi and Joey.
"I guess not," Yugi laughed.
"You want to know what teach?" Jaden asked, "your right. This Skyscraper field hasn't lowered your Golem's Atk. What it's done is raised my Elemental Hero Flame Wingman's by a grand total of 1000."
"Wait," Crowler said in shock, "time out!"
"Go!" Jaden ordered, "Sky Dive Scorcher!"
Jaden's monster did as it was told to do and Atked the Ancient Gear Golem.
"This can't be," Crowler said in shock, "he was my very best card."
"And because of my Wingman's super power," Jaden went on, "the Atk points of that Golem is dilate to your life points. Sweet, uh?"
"No way."
Crowler: 0
"That's game," Jaden said as he a pose, "so I guessed I passed the test, uh, teach?"
Misaki smiled as Crowler started to mumbled to himself pissed off that he lost.
"That kid's got a future here," they heard Alexis said in awe. "Wow."
Misaki, Joey, Mai, Yugi, and Anna all left after that and the young Japanese and the young Australian was looking forward to the school years yet to come.
