Woot! ^.^ I finally posted this thing up. Sorry for making you guys wait so long. I really don't have any excuses,...so yeah. Anyway, just a heads up, this original story line isn't mine. So, this is basically the summary up until the point I decided to branch off from the original. There are some changes, so this is partially mine. Still, if some of these plot ideas are yours, I'm sorry. Well, enjoy ^.^
Disclaimer: Sailor Moon, Naruto, Yu-Gi-Oh GX, Inuyasha, and FullMetal Alchemist belong to their rightful owners. Also, the Darkness of Salvation is not my original idea.
Story so far:
It's Jaden's second year, and new students have signed up at Duel Academy. Among the new additions are Serena and the Sailor Scouts, Kagome Higurashi, and Naruto and Squad Seven (minus Kakashi) after Sasuke finally came back from Orochimaru. Most of them passed the entrance exams with flying colors and were accepted into Ra Yellow. However,Naruto made it into Slifer Red, Sasuke got into Obelisk Blue, and Trista, Darien, Michelle, and Amara were hired as teachers.
On their first day, they met Jaden and his friends, and became part of the group. They were told the recent news: Aster Phoenix challenged Jaden with a deck made from leftover cards. Everyone agreed that it seemed suspicious, and warned Jaden to be careful.
As the weeks passed, Serena, Rei, Lita, Mina, Sakura, and Kagome advanced to Obelisk Blue. Syrus made it into Ra Yellow, and they met a Ra Yellow student named Tyranno Hassleberry. Zane, who graduated last year, started his career with a duel with Aster, which he lost. Later, he went on a losing streak, but made a come back as Hell Kaiser. Aster, meanwhile, challenged Jaden in a rematch, in which everyone learned of the fate of Aster's father. Although Jaden tried his best, he couldn't defeat Aster's Destiny Heroes. When the duel ended, Jaden lost his ability to see his cards. Depressed, he ran away without telling any of his friends.
While Jaden was gone, Aster's manager, Sartorius, arrived at Duel Academy and dueled Chazz and Kagome. He used Chazz's want for recognition and Kagome's jealousy against Kikiyo to manipulate them and win the duel. When they lost, they were brainwashed and joined Sartorius's Society of Light.
The next day, Serena and the others found Chazz dressed in white and spouting nonsense about destiny and the power of the Light. They never noticed that Kagome's eyes were colder than usual. The next few days were relatively calm, until suddenly, Kagome and Chazz challenged and brainwashed every student in the Obelisk Blue dorm and converted it into the White Dorm. Afterwards, they started ambushing the Ra students one by one. To make matters worse, Chancellor Crowler and Vice Chancellor Bonaparte decided to demolish the Slifer Red dorm. To save the Red dorm, Alexis had to win against Aster in a duel. However, just before they began the duel, Jaden showed up and took Alexis's place. Surprising everyone with his new NeoSpacians, he won the duel and saved his dorm.
However, conditions at Duel Academy continued to go downhill. All the Sailor Scouts except Rei and Trista were brainwashed and later defeated all of Jaden's friends but Hassleberry and Atticus. Sakura was beaten trying to save Alexis. Later on, they almost brainwashed the entire Ra Dorm. Depressed and angry, Serena was approached by a stranger, who offered her a way to beat the Sartorius and rescue her friends. Left with no other choice, Serena accepted the proposal and followed the stranger to a hidden cave. There, she was told that Sartorius was possessed by the Light of Destruction, and that in order to defeat it, she would need the Light's counterpart, the Darkness of Salvation, contained in the real Black Crystal of Nemesis. Serena was to infuse with the dark powers of the Black Crystal. Since the Darkness is affected by emotions, however, Serena had to make sure that she would not be consumed by negative emotions, lest the Darkness become corrupted. Agreeing to the consequences, she embraced the power and successfully controlled it. After being allowed to take the Black Crystal with her, Serena infused everyone else still free from Sartorius's influence with the Darkness. With that done, they created an organization for the very purpose of defeating the Society of Light, named Shadow Academy.
Their first victim was Hotaru, who challenged Serena to a duel to force her to join the Society. To the brainwashed members' surprise, their duel became a shadow game, and whenever a duelist took damage, they were electrocuted by shock collars around their neck and arms. The intensity was based on however many life-points the player lost. Furthermore, the damage to the players from direct attacks become real; whether it was a slice or ram, cuts and bruises would appear. However, Serena didn't feel the pain as intensely as Hotaru did, thanks to the protection from the Darkness of Salvation. She won in record time, mercilessly attacking Hotaru until she collapsed from both pain and the purging of the Light from her mind and body. Serena took Hotaru back to the Red Dorm after leaving the stunned Society members a warning and threat. The next day, Shadow Academy members started targeting any Society member they could find.
After several weeks of freeing brainwashed Society members, Chancellor Sheppard returned with exciting news: Duel Academy was hosting a world wide tournament. Called the GX Tournament, the contestants were to duel anyone they wanted. Losers would have to give up their GX medals to the winner and would be kicked out of the competition. The last one standing would be given the title of the world's best duelist. To Shadow Academy, it meant the start of the Society hunting season.
A couple days into the competition, Zane Truesdale returned to Duel Academy. He saw the brainwashed Syrus and was actually worried about his little brother. Because of that, he agreed to help Jaden and the others in their fight against the Society of Light.
However, even though it's the fifth day of the tournament, transfer students are still coming in. And this time, there are some interesting people on board the boat.
Well? What do you think? Please read and review ^.^ Also, this was beta'ed, but just in case, I'm sorry for any errors we might have missed. Just a heads up, I suck at writing -.-::
