Chapter 1 New Students, New Threats
In a large school a girl was walking down a hallway coming out of her class and was heading back to her dorm room. The girl was 13 year old Taylor Garrett and was wearing a uniform that was mostly black pants with a black tank top. She also had dark purple hair which was tied in a ponytail and always wore red fingerless gloves. Once she got to the end of the hall she pressed a pad on the wall causing the wall to open. Then she went in and waited a few seconds before another door opened and she stepped out into what looked like an apartment living room with a kitchen. Taylor went towards the fridge and opened it pulling out a plate with foil on it. Then she went to a room with a red door and sat in her bed before she pulled out a laptop from under her mattress. She then got on and check her email. She saw she had a number of new messages but only one that she wanted to see. As she read it Taylor smiled.
"I'll make you proud Onii-chan." she said to herself before looking at the time in her laptop. "Oh wow. I better get to arms practice." she said before feeling something in her stomach which caused her to run to the bathroom quickly. A minute later she stepped out but to her surprise a small violet cat with bright eyes landed on her head as soon as she stepped out.
"You must be who I was looking for." said the cat. "The rarerare with a heart like my own."
"Look I don't know who you are but I've gotta head to class." said Taylor heading back with the cat on her head into the elevator. "Hey what do you think you're doing?"
"I'm going with you." replied the cat.
"Alright but keep your trap shut while we're in practice." said Taylor. "What's your name anyway?"
"I'm Amy." said the cat.
"Well I'm Taylor. Nice to meet you Amy." said Taylor with a smile as the door opened. "Alright remember to stay quiet." she whispered. Then she went in where there were several other people who were older than Taylor but were all dressed the same.
'Wow.' though Amy.
"So you ready kid?" a bald guy asked going up to Taylor.
"Always am." replied Taylor.
"Alright everyone stand ready." said a new voice. They all turned and saw a woman who was dressed in black but wore a mask which covered her face but left her long hair showing.
"Alright now this will be you're final exam for this class. Once you're done you can return to your dorm rooms." she said. "Now then first up will be our youngest student. Ms Taylor Garrett." Taylor nodded and stepped forward. "Alright your final exam will be a mission in the simulation room." said the teacher handing Taylor a silver bracelet. "This will allow me to keep track of your vitals while you're in there." Taylor nodded and put the bracelet on. Then a door opened under her causing her to fall into an empty room. "Starting now." said the teacher as Taylor's surroundings became a very dense forest at night. Then her bracelet flashed a hologram that had a list. The first said Rescue 8 year old hostage. The second said Kill all Enemies but don't be caught. Once she read her objectives the list vanished.
"Well time to get started." said Taylor holding out her wrist which caused a device that covered half her forearm to appear. Then she pressed a button which caused it to open revealing a small keyboard. She then typed quickly before closing it. At that her clothes became different. Her shirt changed into a long sleeve black shirt with a Kevlar vest and she now also had a pair of guns at her sides and two more inside the vest. She also had red fingerless gloves and an orange visor.
"Wow." said Amy.
"Sh." said Taylor. "This may be a simulation but the dangers here are just as real as if this were a real mission so keep quiet." At that Amy nodded. Then Taylor held out her hand causing the fingerless gloves to become steel gauntlets with sharp claws. This allowed her to climb the tree she was next to with no problem. Once she got high enough she started jumping from tree to tree. Then she saw an arrow on her visor pointing to her left. She turned and saw a guy with an assault rifle walking. Taylor jumped landing on the tree just above him. "Hang on tight on to me." she whispered. Amy nodded. Then she knelt down and pulled up her right pant leg and pulled out a hunting knife. After she jumped and grabbed on the branch before turning to put her feet on the branch and launching herself straight at the man. Amy held on as best she could up until Taylor slashed at a part of the man's neck taking him out instantly. Then she placed a flat disk onto his weapon which stuck to it. Then she took what looked like a walkie talkie. "Man down. Man down." she said. Then she placed another two disks on him and went back up the trees. As she moved Taylor saw that several other guards were heading to the location of the one she had taken out which made her smile. Shortly after she found a building with a single guard at the front. 'Alright now how do I get him out of the way. After she heard an explosion. This caused the guard to take off allowing her to shoot him in the head as he ran letting him fall into some high grass.
"So are you gonna head in?" whispered Amy.
"Not yet." Taylor replied jumping a fence at the side. Then she made her way at the side along the side of the building until she found a metallic box attached to the building. With a smile she placed a small disk on it and stepped away from it and headed back to the front. Within a few seconds there was a spark of light before the lights in the building went out causing a panic amongst the people inside. "Alright." she whispered to herself as she went in as her visor turned green allowing her to see. Once inside she looked around and saw several armed guards running around. She then began walking towards the end of the first room which had a door at the end of it. There seemed to be a busted number pad and an open door so she snuck in and left another disk on the wall. After she started walking making sure to avoid any of the guards before she got to a door that opened with someone else running out. Taylor took the chance and ran in. There she saw a young girl who looked around nine years old with short hair who was tied and had a bandage over her eyes and a rope in her mouth. She then looked to the side to see a window. Smiling she closed the door which caused the girl to tense up. "Calm down. I'm here to rescue you." she said cutting the ropes. Once the girl took the bandage over her eyes off she smiled. "Alright let's go." At that she elbowed the window and went out with the girl and Amy on her head. Once they were far away Taylor pulled out a small controller out of her pocket and pressed the only button. This caused the place they had just left to explode. "Mission Accomplished."
"Very good." said the teacher as everything returned to normal. Then Taylor found herself pulled by a tube that put her with the others. "Now once each of you finishes you may return to your dorm rooms. Your results will be emailed to your school account." Taylor nodded and left. Once she was back in her dorm room she put Amy on her bed. "Alright now time for you to explain some things."
"Okay." said Amy.
"First of all what are you? It's obvious you're not an ordinary cat."
"I'm a Jewel Pet." replied Amy.
"Jewel Pet?"
"Yes. You see I'm a new student at the Magic Academy and right now I'm supposed to be looking for a rarerare girl whose heart matches my own."
"Okay so by rarerare you mean a human?" asked Taylor.
"I guess." said Amy.
"Okay so you think my heart matches yours?"
"I'm sure it does. After all if it didn't I wouldn't have been brought here." said Amy.
"Alright look after that test I'm hungry so why don't go get something to eat at the courtyard?"
"Okay." said Amy getting back on Taylor's head. At that Taylor once more left her dorm room. After a minute they found themselves in a large courtyard which had a dome over it.
"Sugoi." said Amy. "This place is amazing."
"Yes it is." said Taylor going up to what looked like a vending machine but with a number pad and several compartments. Then she pulled out a card and inserted it into the machine before hitting a few numbers and hitting the pound key. That caused two of the doors to open both revealing burgers on paper plates. She took them both and they went to a bench where she put one of burgers. Then the two began to eat.
"So where are you from?" asked Taylor.
"I'm from a magical place called Jewel Land." replied Amy. "You see I'm a new student at the magic academy and I need a rarerare partner."
"Sounds like fun." said Taylor with a smile. "Still I feel like I forgot something." she said looking up. As if on cue what looked like a seven strange monsters appeared. All of them had bucket like heads with silver and white armor.
"What's going on?" asked Amy.
"Whenever a student comes out here we have to fight a few of these things to make sure we don't let our guard down." explained Taylor looking at the creatures. "Well looks like I get a little more fun." she said turning to Amy. "Hey Amy check this out."
"O-okay." said Amy surprised.
"Alright. Let's do it." said Taylor walking up to the creatures. At that one of them tried to punch her but she jumped landing on its head and knocking it down. Then she pulled out a card from her pocket. "Well as Nii-san would say: Let's rock and wreck." she said as the card began glowing and became a cutlass sword.(*1) After that another of the creatures ran up to her with a staff and tried to slash at her but Taylor blocked it with her sword before kicking it back. At that two more ran at her but she dodged their attacks before slashing at them which caused them to vanish. Then she held out her hand which caused a strange pistol to appear in her hand with which she fired at the one on the floor. Then she aimed at one that ha been trying to attack her from behind and fired as she slashed at another. "That's weird. Where are the other two?" Then she turned and saw they were heading towards Amy who seemed to be paralyzed with fear. "Look out." she called out jumping over them in time to block with her sword. They, however, then kicked her knocking down her blade which turned back into a card.
"Are you okay?" asked Amy as one of the remaining two grabbed Taylor's arm and the other kicked her causing her to lean forward in pain. At that she fired at the one holding her and then to the one that had kicked her. Once they disappeared Amy went to Taylor very concerned as her gun disappeared.
"Doesn't matter." said Taylor. "Are you okay?"
"You got hurt and you're still worried about me?" asked Amy in shock.
"Of course." said Taylor with a smile. "To be honest I've been trying to follow in my brother's footsteps to become a great assassin who can protect people. He once told me that if given the choice between his own life and mine he's rather save mine and that's why." she explained. "Besides we're friends aren't we? So I've got your back." she said holding Amy who smiled. Suddenly a violet gem with strange lines and a star appeared in Taylor's hand. "Hey what's this?"
"My Jewelcharm doubled." said Amy. "Then that must mean..." she said pulling out something that looked like a white smartphone. In it's screen there was a green circle with several symbols. "Yes! It is you! Now we can go to Jewel Land together."
"Hang on." said Taylor. "First let's go back to my room."
"Okay." said Amy. Once they were back in Taylor's room Amy pulled out the device again and scrolled down to a strange text and pressed on it. This caused another green circle with strange writing to appear at their feet which then pulled them in. After they were in a place that had several of the same circle. "Alright now there's a spell we'll need to say together when we get there." she said scrolling down. "Here it is. Tinkle Tinkle magical charm. Winkle Winkle Jewel Flash. Did you get that?"
"I think so." Taylor replied as they appeared at the top of a tree. "Nice site."
"Are you ready?" asked Amy. Taylor nodded. "Glowing Amethyst signifies grand wisdom." Then two chanted.
"Tinkle Tinkle Magical Charm. Winkle Winkle Jewel Flash." At that Taylor clothes changed. She now had a mid length and width white skirt that had violet trimmings, a purple fairy tale looking top that went part ways to the skirt, a something that looked like a small dolphin tail at her back on the skirt, light violet gloves with matching socks and shoes, a bow on her chest that held her Jewel Charm, and a butterfly shaped bow that was on her ponytail. "This is so cool." she said jumping off the tree as she began flying. "So this is Jewel Land?"
"That's right." said Amy looking towards a large castle. "Over there is where Lady Jewelina lives. She watches over all of Jewel Land."
"Amazing." said Taylor. "So where are we going?"
"Over there." said Amy pointing to a building with a bell tower.
"Alright." said Taylor heading towards it. Then they landed in a courtyard. When they got there they saw a girl who was in a similar outfit bit that was a little longer and pink. The girl also had a white rabbit on her shoulder.
"You made it too." said a pink cat.
"That's right." said Amy.
"Well then..." said a very short old man who was on a flying crystal ball. "...welcome come to the magic academy. You four are now new students here. Congratulations."
"Hi." said Taylor going up to the girl. "I'm Taylor Garrett. It's a pleasure to meet you."
"I'm Akari Sakura. Yoroshiku." said the girl with a smile. Suddenly Taylor's eyes widened. "What's wrong?" asked Akari as Taylor turned looking up.
"That's not good." said Taylor.
"What's wrong?" asked Akari as she and the Jewel Pets around them looked up. Then they saw a part of the sky rippling. "What's going on Ruby?" she asked the rabbit on her arm.
"I don't know Akari-chan." replied Ruby. Then a large black dragon emerged from the ripple.
"What is that?" asked Akari.
"It looks like a dragon." said the old man.
"Not just any dragon." said Taylor. "It looks like the Blackland Fire Dragon."
"Blackland Fire Dragon?" asked Ruby and Amy.
"It's a duel monster but that's one is full of dark energy." replied Taylor as her eyes began glowing red. "No way. That dragon is made of nothing but dark energy."
"How can you tell?" asked Akari noticing Taylor eyes as well as noticing that Amy's eyes were also glowing. "My eyes can see beyond what most see. I can see the truth."
"Then we have to do something." said Akari.
"I guess Nii-san was right about me having to use this eventually." said Taylor holding out her right arm across her chest which caused an object with a single card slot too appear on it. "Alright now let's see if this works the way Nii-san said." she said pulling out a card before inserting it into the slot. "I summon Cosmic Hero Wing Blader (2*)!" she called out causing a warrior in a light armor who had short black hair along with metallic wings with sharp edges and claws on his gauntlets which also had four blades on the back of each hand. "Ready?"
"I am here to serve you." said the knight.
"Alright then let's fight together." said Taylor as the slot on her wrist suddenly became the shape of a bird's head with a red button.
"Right." said the Knight.
"Alright then Duel Change!" she called out holding her wrists crossed at her right before moving them to her left and pressing the button. This caused the knight to start glowing before he became a light that shot upwards and then hit her. This also caused her Jewel Charm to glow as well which in turn caused Amy to start glowing. Once the lights were gone they saw Taylor wearing an armor like the one that the knight had but with a helmet that had the lower part of her face covered. They also saw Amy who had become larger and more tiger like with a ferocious look and large violet wings.
"Sugoi." said Akari.
"Let's go." Taylor told Amy who nodded. Then the two took flight and headed for the dragon before stopping in front of it. "Why are you here?" she asked. The dragon only swiped at them forcing them back. "Looks like we're doing this the hard way." she said as her wings expanded before firing several spikes at the dragon. At the same time Amy fired off a large voilet fire fall at it from her mouth. However both attacks were stopped by a roar from the dragon. Then it fire a stream of black fire. "Oh no you don't." she said holding out her hands which caused a barrier to appear. However when the fire hit she was only able to hold it for a few seconds before both of them were shot down and hit hard creating a small crater. Akari then flew toward them with Ruby.
"Are you two okay?" asked Akari.
"We're fine but that thing's not gonna be easy to take down." said Taylor. "At least not on our own."
"Then let us help." said Ruby.
"Yes. Please let us help." said Akari.
"I get you wanna help protect such a beautiful place but both of us are too inexperience at magic and I only have one Duel Changer." said Taylor looking at her Changer.
"Well it doesn't matter. We can at least go with you." said Akari taking Taylor's hand. Suddenly her Changer started glowing. That light then went to Akari. Once it died down they saw Akari had a changer to the one Taylor had before on her wrist. "Can it be?"
"What do I do?" asked Akari.
"Do you have a dueling deck with you?" asked Taylor. Akari nodded.
"Alright pick a monster and put it in the slot. Then call it out like you would in a duel." explained Taylor.
"Alright." said Akari pulling out a card. "I summon Dunames Dark Witch!" she called out. When she did a girl with long red hair who wore dark red armor that had a half white skirt, white armored boots, white metallic wings with two blue orbs at the top of each one, and what looked like a tiara that had white wings on both sides appeared.
"I am here to serve you." said the Witch.
"Okay. Let's help out." said Akari with a smile as her changer became with a green rhino's head that was. Then she mimicked the movements Taylor had done before as she called out "Duel Change!" At that Akari now wore the same armor that her Dark Witch had and Ruby became larger and more ferocious in appearance but with large white wings.
"Well I guess we should before it decides to start burning the land." said Taylor.
"Okay." said Akari as the four took flight. However on the way a staff with a double blade appeared in Taylor's hand while a scepter appeared in Akari's which caught the two by surprise but didn't stop until they were in front of the dragon once more who looked at them like they were prey.
"Well I guess we just focus." said Taylor.
"Okay." said Akari. At that both girls closed their eyes causing the top of their weapons to glow. The dragon saw an opening and fired at them again. This time however the two girl pointed their weapon at the dragon firing two red blasts which swirled together and collided.
"Oh man we need more power." said Taylor. At that both Ruby and Amy fired blasts from their mouths which pushed their blast into the dragon. After it was hit the dragon fell back before shattering into several fragments with some dark energy that swirled but then also shattered.
"Yatta!" said Akari as the four landed in the forest. Then their armors disappeared and their Jewel Pets returned to normal.
"That was awesome." said Ruby.
"Yes. I've never felt such power going through me." said Amy.
"Well I guess from here on out we're team mates." said Taylor extending her hand. Then Akari took it and the two shook hands.
When Taylor and Amy got back to Taylor's room she to writing her brother an email.
'Dear Nii-san,
I'm almost done here at school and I've made a new friend.' she thought with a smile as she typed. 'I need to ask something though. Is there something happening in the Duel Monster spirit world? I've been sensing a strange turmoil.' she typed before hitting send.
"Whatever is going on over there it seems might also have an effect on Jewel Land." she said to herself.
"Don't worry." said Amy. "I'm certain that whatever is happening we'll be able to stop it."
"We'll be able to fight but don't forget that there's something far more powerful might appear someday. But we will be ready." said Taylor.
"Well said." said Amy with a smile.
