Authors Note: I know the first chapter has extreme resemblance to the first episode of the anime. But don't worry, I'm not doing a rerun of the anime with minor OCs. To keep you guys wondering and to show that I do have a general plot in mind, I'l just say this now. Yubel is with Jaden, but she had to go to the spirit world for an event. I won't say what the event is now, but just keep that In mind :). Any review and feedback is helpful as this not only helps me as a write, but also helps me understand what you guys enjoy and want to see as far as the story goes.
Keep in mind that italics is a character's thoughts.
Outside the Kaiba Corporation Arena Dorm
A tall blue haired man with KC initials on his shirt said, "Alright girls, let pack it up and mark the rest as no shows."
"WAIT! MARK JADEN YUKI AND KRISP FUDO AS PRESENT!", a two-toned brunette-haired duelist shouted. A black-haired duelist ran next to the brunette-haired duelist, panting and sweating, said, "I hope they still accept us."
The black-haired duelist walks up to the table and signs his name. He turns to the brunette and says, "Good luck in there Jaden!"
Jaden looks at his friend with a big grin on his face and says, "I'll see you after the written exam Krisp."
A little while later inside the Kaiba Corporation Arena Dorm
A short blue haired duelist was looking at the current duel exam that was going on.
Bastion: 3200 LP
Proctor: 1900
"Alright, new guy, multiple choice. You got two monsters staring you down. Do you, A. Throw in the towel? B. Beg for mercy or C. Run home to mama?".
The British-accented duelist responds with, "I'll go with D, none of the above." "I activate Ring of Destruction, it allows me to destroy any monster on the field in attack mode and then we both take damage equal to that monster's attack pointers."
The proctor says, "Clever move application. Welcome to the Academy", as his life points fall to zero.
The duelist responds with, "Thank you, O wise proctor."
Jaden and Krisp walk over to the short blue haired duelist with smiles on their face. "Wow, that guy is really good." The blue haired duelist looked next to him, "Yeah, that's Bastion Misawa, I hear he got the highest score on the written exam." Krisp looked at the short boy and said, "Well looks like we have competition here, huh Jaden?". Jaden turns around to look at Krisp, "You do. I just barely passed. I'm more of a duelist by example and not by theory."
"I'm not good at either. My name is Syrus by the way. Nice to meet you. I have test anxiety so, I don't know how I won my match."
Jaden put a hand on Syrus' back. "So, you're in. Congratulations! I'll be in too."
Krisp smiled, "We will take this academy by storm."
"Wait, you two haven't dueled yet? You might have a problem. I think that was supposed to be the last one."
In the teacher and proctor area
"Looks like we have a pretty good bunch this year."
A proctor walks up to a tall teacher. "I'm sorry to interrupt Mister, but we have two students who showed up late to take the exam."
The teacher looks at the proctor with an angry expression on his face. "Did you just call me MISTER?"
"Oh sorry, I'm new here miss."
"I have a PhD in dueling, I've earned the title doctor, Thank you. Now tell the slackers that they will just have to come back next year."
"Oh, come on Dr. Crowler," a proctor to the right of him said. "We've got enough time for them, let's see what they are made of."
"Too bad. I do not have time for slackers."
"Come on, they were just a little late is all."
"LATE IS RUDE! LET ME REMIND -," Crowler, stopped as the noise of his phone ringing. "Hello. Who is calling me at this ungodly hour?"
"Crowler, this is Sheppard."
"Ah, Chancellor Sheppard. How may I help you?"
"Just checking in to make sure that everything is going well. We wouldn't want a repeat of what happened last year, would we? When you refused entrance to a third of the student applications for some absurd reason. What was it? Calling you Mister of Miss? Whatever it was, just give everyone a shot."
"Of course, Chancellor Sheppard." Crowler hung up his phone and walked over to a proctor. "You go over and duel Krisp, I'll take the other kid, whats his name? Jaden Yucki."
Back in the stands with Jaden, Syrus and Krisp
Krisp extended his hand out to Bastion for a handshake. "That was a sweet duel Bastion."
Bastion takes the hand shake with three FIRM PUMPS. "Thankyou."
Jaden walked up to the two. "Yeah, I'd say you're the third best duelist here." Bastion and Syrus looked at each other with a confused expression and then at Jaden.
"What do you mean?"
"Krisp Fudo, please report to exam field three. Jaden Yuki, to exam field four."
"It's time to duel! Let's go Krisp."
Bastion looked at the two as they were getting ready to leave. "Wait, if I am the third best, who is the first and second?"
Jaden and Krisp looked at Bastion, then at each other. "That's us."
Syrus moaned. "Wow, those two are really confident. I wish I could be like them."
Bastion looks to Syrus with a grin. "I'm just interested in their styles and archetypes. But I really want to know who the better duelist is out of those two."
Exam Field Three
"Alright applicant, you know the rules, let's get this going."
"LET'S DUEL!".
Proctor: 4000
Krisp: 4000
"Newbies first."
"Thanks Proc." Krisp examines the cards in his hands. This should be a piece of cake. I should call dad later and tell him about refusing to use my actual deck in the exams.
"I end my turn."
"What are you doing newbie, are you trying to fail?"
Back up in the Stands
A tall blue haired boy with a stoic look on his face looks down at the duel. Next to the boy is a girl with long blonde hair and beautiful hazel eyes. She was dressed in the girl's obelisk blue uniform implying that she was in the Obelisk dorm. To the right of the blonde is an asian girl with wavy black hair, who looked to be about 5'6". She was also dressed in the girl's obelisk blue uniform. But something about them said, we're not your average girls.
The blonde looks to the blue haired boy. "Zane, what is this kid doing? Just wasting his turn like that?"
"I don't know Alexis, he might have something up his sleeves. He looks awfully familiar."
"Do you recognize him from anywhere Yoona?"
Yoona with her gaze on the field. "Hmmmmm, I'm not sure."
Back at Exam Field Three
"Alright newbie, watch and learn. First, I play Alligator's Sword [ATK:1500 DEF: 1200] in attack mode and attach Gravity Axe, Alligator's Sword [ATK: 2000 DEF: 1200] to him and attack you directly."
Proctor: 4000
Krisp: 2000
Krisp looks at the proctor with a grin on his face. "Thank you for that. Since you just attacked me, I can now active Gorz the Emissary of Darkness' special effect. Whenever I take damage from a card you control, while I control no cards, I can special summon him from my hand. Come out Gorz the Emissary of Darkness [ATK:2700 DEF: 2500]."
Back up in the stands, Yoona looked at the duel with awe. Hmm interesting, he left himself wide open to pull an overwhelming combo.
"So, this kid is pretty interesting huh. Pulling off a move like that. What do you think Yoona?...Yoona?... Yoona? Hello? "
"Oh, sorry Alexis, this duel is so interesting I got immersed in it."
"Is that so Yoona? Are you sure it's not something else?"
Yoona looked at Alexis with a frown on her face. "What are you implying here?"
"Nothing, I'm just teasing you." Alexis responded with a smirk on her face. Yoona is finally showing interest in a guy again. This year is going to be interesting.
Krisp points at Gorz. "That's not all, I can now activate one of his effects. I'm going to special summon a token [ATK:2000 DEF: 2000] with the same amount of damage I took. I am now going to activate the spell De-Spell, and destroy your Gravity Axe. Alligator's Sword [ATK:1500 DEF:1200 ].Since my monsters were special summons, I am now going to summon Twin-Barrel Dragon [ATK:1700 DEF: 200]."
The proctor looks at him with fear and confusion. "What kind of archetype are you using? Why is your deck so jumbled?"
"Don't worry about that. Now I activate my dragon's special effect. I can flip two coins and if the result is 2 heads, I can destroy a monster you control."
Krisp picks out two Kaiba Corp. coins from his pocket and proceeds to flip them. "Ah meme, 1 head and 1 tail. Oh well, regardless, this duel is over. I activate Wicked -Breaking Flameberge -Baou and equip it to Gorz [ATK: 3200 DEF: 2500]. Next, I'll have my token attack your Alligator's Sword.
Proctor: 3500
Krisp: 2000
"Now to end off this duel, Twin-Barrel Dragon and Gorz, attack him directly!"
Proctor: 0
Krisp: 2000
"Well played applicant, I underestimated you. Welcome to Duel Academy."
Krisp deactivates his duel disk and nods. "Thank you."
Syrus looks at Krisp with a big grin on his face. "Wow, Krisp, that was an amazing combo you pulled off, but why is your deck so jumbled and mixed?"
"Thanks, Syrus. Well, that's because I wasn't using my actual deck. However, I am wondering why Jaden's match hasn't started yet."
Bastion, who was seated one row below Syrus, turns around and looks at Krisp. "Well, well, well, I may be the third best duelist here after all Krisp."
Krisp laughs at the comment and nods. "Wait till you see Jaden duel."
Syrus looks at Krisp with confusion. "Is he better than you?"
"Let's just say I've never beaten him."
Exam Field Four
Dr. Crowler walks up to the field with his duel vest. "So, slacker, you want to get into duel academy? Well you are going to have to beat me first."
"I'll get in for sure then! Seeing it that I am facing Duel Academy's mascot."
The students in the stands hysterically laugh at Jaden's comment as Crowler stares at him angrily.
"You know, now that I think about it, think kid is right. Don't you think so Chazz?"
"He's got a big mouth. I'm going to enjoy watching Crowler decimate this kid."
"Listen here slacker, I'm Dr. Crowler. Department chair of techniques here at Duel Academy."
"Wow a department chair. This should be fun!"
"Alright, enough talking. Duel vest on"
Jaden looked at the technology with awe. "Wow that's cool teach, how do I get one of those."
"With hard work and extremely high marks. Of course, you would have to get into the academy first. Since I feel like giving you a chance, you can go first slacker."
"Alright, here goes. Sweet, I'm going to summon Elemental Hero Avian [ATK:1000 DEF: 1000] in defense mode and throw down a face down. I'll end my turn there."
"I think I'll go nice and easy. I activate confiscation. I pay 1000 life points and discard one card from your hard. Hmmmm, wow some amateur cards. I think I will banish monster reborn to the graveyard. I then put two face downs and activate heavy storm. This destroys every spell and trap card on the field."
Jaden laughs while looking at Dr. Crowler. "Did you forget about your own set cards teach?"
"Look at the field slacker. My trap cards allow me to summon two token monsters when they are destroyed."
"A card that strong couldn't be in one of the test decks. Crowler must be using his own deck. What da ya think Chazz?"
Chazz looks at the dunce to his left and says, "I think I'm going to enjoy this kid getting mopped by Crowler even more."
"What an elitist snob, bullying some amateur with his very best cards."
"You are too soft, Alexis. I just hope we get to the see that Legendary card that Crowler has stashed away in his deck."
"Judging by how his friend played, I think this kid has the win."
Zane and Alexis look at Yoona in shock. "How can you be so sure Yoona? After all, Zane did mention Crowler's legendary card."
"I think we're about to find out."
"Ready for your next lesson? I sacrifice the two tokens and bring out my Ancient Gear Golem in attack mode [ATK:3000 DEF: 3000]. Now Ancient Gear Golem, show this slacker what a real monster is and attack. Keep in mind that when my monster attacks, you can't activate any spells of traps until the end of the damage step, and I do piercing damage to all monsters on the field."
Syrus looked at the field with a worried look on his face. "Uh oh, that means Jaden's life points are going to take a hit."
"Syrus, I wouldn't be too worried. Jaden already has this win in the bag."
"Huh?"
"Just watch and learn."
Dr. Crowler: 3000
Jaden: 2000
Jaden look exhausted with one knee on the ground. Crowler looked at Jaden and smirked. "Looks like you won't be joining the Academy with your friend. Who knows, maybe he got lucky too."
Jaden laughs at Crowler's word and puts a big grin on his face. "No way teach, now I definitely want to get into this school. After all this duel is so fun. I'm ready to take down your monster. Oh, and by the way Krisp didn't even use his real deck."
Whispers and gasps in shock could be heard all around the stadium as the words left Jaden's mouth.
"So, Krisp didn't even use his real deck and still managed to two-turn-kill a proctor. Interesting. I guess his friend has some skills at least."
"Give it a rest Zane. At least this kid is showing some backbone. Right Yoona?"
"Hmmmm? Yeah, Sure." Yoona was still thinking about Krisp and dueling him to find out what his real deck and potential was.
Syrus looked at Jaden with admiration on his face. "Why isn't Jaden worried? He must be either brave or really nuts."
"Syrus, let's just say he is really good. Hell, he can even beat my real deck."
Back at the field, Jaden was about his make his next move. "Alright, I draw."
"KURRR."
"Oh, it's you, I can't believe dad gave me you for my exam. Oh well, you definitely came in handy."
There were whispers in the stands again, but this time it was more about why Jaden was talking to his cards and everyone was wondering if he was crazy.
"Slacker, stop talking to yourself and make your moves. I got things to do."
"Alright teach, I'll place one card face down in defense mode and end my turn."
"You fool, stop wasting my time. Ancient Gear Golem attack his face down."
"Check your gear, it might be broken, you didn't lose any life points."
"My gear is fine teach, you see when Winged Kuriboh is destroyed, I take no battle damage for this turn."
"Wow, a move that even the good doctor didn't know about."
"No one can learn every single archetype and move Alexis."
Alexis looked at the duel with a smile. "This kid sure did."
Yoona turned to look at Alexis with a teasing smirk. "Who's interested in who now? Huh?"
"He's an interesting duelist, that's all."
"Uh-Huh, sure he is Alexis. And nothing, more right?"
Alexis refused to answer Yoona and went back to paying attention to the duel.
"So, your lame monster saved you this time. Good luck next turn."
"Hey, just because he has low stats, doesn't mean he is weak. After all, my dad gave him to me."
"Right, I forgot how attached you young ones were to your monsters and cards."
"Alright teach, my turn. Perfect. First, I activate The Warrior Returning Alive and bring Avian back to my hand. Next, I activate polymerization to fuse Elemental Hero Burstinatrix and Elemental Hero Avian to summon Elemental Hero Flame Wingman [ATK:2100 DEF: 1200].
"Impressive for an amateur. But next time bring out a monster that can destroy my legendary card."
"What does he mean by that Krisp."
"He means that Wingman only has 2100 attack while his Golem has 3000. But don't worry, I'm sure Jaden has something up his sleeve."
"Who said I was done with my turn teach? Next, I place the field spell Skyscraper. And this duel is over now. Wingman attack his Golem."
"You fool, your field spell hasn't decreased by monster's attack by a single point. You will lose this."
"That's where you are wrong teach. Skyscraper gives my Wingman an addition 1000 attack when it battles a monster whose stats are higher."
"NO! WAIT! TIMEOUT"
"GO SKYDIVE SCORCHER."
"This can't be. He was my very best card."
"And because of Wingman's super power, you take damage equal to the attack points of the monster that Wingman just destroyed. Sweet huh?"
"No Way!"
Jaden gave out his two-finger salute and said, "That's game! I guess I passed the test huh teach?"
"Impossible, there is no way this delinquent could defeat me."
The stadium was once again in shock and gasps as they had witnessed a Department chair lose to an academy amateur.
"It must be dumb luck. No way, Crowler could lose to a slacker like that kid."
"Yeah, there is no way this kid could beat Duel Prep graduates like us."
Alexis looked down at the field in awe and with a smile on her face. "That kid's got a future here."
"He and his friend are going to make it a very interesting year." Yoona added.
Zane walked away without saying a word.
"Alright! Jaden! Way to go!" Syrus and Krisp shouted.
"Nice. I could use a little competition."
Jaden does his victory dance and shouts, "I'm in! I did it!"
"KURRR"
"You're right, were both in. From now on we will both be partners."
