Chapter 1: Entrance, Defeat the blustering fool of a Professor.
AN – Preamble – I do not own Yugioh , Yugioh Arc V, Yugioh GX, Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha, or any of it save for any OC's I might add in the fanfic.
Ah, Kaibacorp Tower, holding the Duel Academy entrance exam here as a show as to who owns the Academy of course, Seto Kaiba, its owner. The Guards recognize me as I turn up for the exam, held in a private room so as to avoid outside distraction. Not that I'm wearing your typical exam taker's clothes, nor am I your typical exam taker, but we'll get to that. My black and spiky hair, with purple tones, oddly, completely natural, never dyed it once. People sometimes say I dress like a punk, the fact that I wear a choker, a Pendulum pendant that I received when I was little, and goggles as common accessories doesn't exactly disparage such thoughts. The fact that I wear a dull green formal shirt with a dark blue tie, dark blue pants (trousers, for the British among you) and black boot like shoes, as well as a cape (well, capes are awesome, who doesn't like capes). Well, enough self reflection, lets look at the exam
Ah, Duel theory, not exactly a challenge considering how long I've studied it, but let's get it out of the way, I'm aiming for 100% after all.
Name - Kamito Kaiba (request for private marking to avoid bias due to name)
Question 1: Name 1 card that requires you to banish one light and 1 dark monster from your grave as its summon condition. - Chaos Emperor Dragon Envoy of the Beginning
Question 2: Name a Dragon with a higher Original Attack than Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon. - F.G.D - Five God Dragon – Original Attack 5000 vs Blue-eyes Ultimate Dragon's original attack of 4500

After a whole bunch of "Win in this turn" Scenarios involving a whole bunch of different cards, Most of which being scenarios that you will never see in a real duel. Good simulators though, but fairly easy, the machine returns my score
CONGRATULATIONS KAMITO KAIBA – SCORE 105% wait, I scored OVER 100%, odd
5% BONUS ADDED FOR CLEARING ALL WIN IN THIS TURN SCENARIOS IN THE MINIMUM NUMBER OF MOVES
Oh, Fair enough
Please Proceed across town to the KaibaCorp duelling field for the practical half of your exam
Projected Duel Academy dorm – Obelisk Blue
Wait, people have got 100% before and it only predicts Ra, guess it must be the extra 5%.
I catch a lift across town, not stopping to enjoy the sights, grab a bite to eat,Pizza of course, Domino's Pizza is amazing and show up ready to duel, pitying the proctor they place me against.
I walk up to the registration line, hand them my form, and note to them to keep quiet about who I am to the test proctor, who nods, almost afraid of me. I figure I'll wait by the railings and watch the other duels in the mean time.
Some kid named Syrus just beat an Examiner with a Roid deck, I bristle at that, the only real Roids belong to Fate dammit! I feel angry all of a sudden, being reminded of Fate being missing, and then someone using a Roid deck, Speedroids are the only real Roids, as proved by the fact that the kid almost lost to a test proctor not even using a real deck. Slifer Red if I ever saw one, the kids lack of confidence will be fatal vs a decent opponent.
Who's next on the watch list, slightly smug looking kid, looks like the type who would rather cuddle a calculator than a studded animal, seems to be playing over analytical
Duel – Unknown turn – Bastian Misawa vs Examiner
Bastian LP 3200 Examiner LP 1900
Set card and Vorse Raider vs Gear Golem the Moving Fortress and Big shield Gardna eh, are the test decks really that weak, not even sticking to a specific archetype., I hope I get to face a real persons deck, or I'll be bored.
Vorse Raider - Level 4 Beast-warrior/Dark/Normal 1900 Atk 1200 Def
Big Shield Gardna – Level 4 – Warrior/Earth/Effect 100 Atk 2600 Def
During either player's turn, when this face-down card (and no other cards) is targeted by a Spell Card: Change this card to face-up Defence Position, and if you do, negate the Spell Card's activation. If this card is attacked, change it to Attack Position at the end of the Damage Step.
Gear Golem the Moving Fortress – Level 4 Machine/Earth/Effect 800 Atk 2200 Def
Once per turn, during your Main Phase 1: You can pay 800 Life Points; this card can attack your opponent directly this turn.
So his plan will likely either be force the Gardna into attack mode, he has the LP to risk throwing an attack at it, burn of some sort ignoring the defence, or a mass destruction spell, reviving his Vorse Raider and swinging directly, wonder which.
Proctor's turn - Turn X
"Well applicant , you have 2 options, surrender or lose , facing down 2 monsters with more to come, what can you possibly do" Not be playing a weak test deck to the point that boring intimidation is the only method you have?
Bastian, ever the stalwart defender yells " I CHOOSE OPTION 3 , NONE OF THE ABOVE!"
"I Activate my Face down, Ring of Destruction, targeting my own Vorse Raider " Coincidence that 1900 attack vs 1900 LP left examiner, I think not, Terminal planner this one. I'd be fond of a more violent option personally.
Ring of Destruction – Normal Trap - Destroy 1 face-up monster and inflict damage to both players equal to its ATK.
Bastian LP 3200 – 1900 = 1300
Proctor LP 1900 – 1900 = 0
DUEL END - VICTOR - Bastian
Bastian, after winning his duel, walks past me, figure I might as well throw a comment out, unsettle any future competition that there may or may not be.
"You planned that duel down to the move didn't you, would be too coincidental otherwise to have a Ring of destruction ready with a 1900 attack monster and your opponent having 1900 LP left"
Bastian looks shocked , but just for a second "Was it truly so obvious? The Proctor decks seem intentionally weak anyway" He's right about that one.
"They are, from what I can tell, It's to weed out the weak, without risking the stronger people losing due to bricking, or something" I shrug ," Congratulations on getting in, likely Ra yellow I'm guessing. How'd you score on the theory?"
Bastian smiles and says "I got 100%, not a single question wrong" Puhlease, not like it was hard.
"I got 105%, got the 5% bonus for playing all of the WIN THIS TURN challenges perfectly without any wasted moves" Bastian looks shocked
"You're that good? Have you duelled yet? "
Not that anyone can tell, but I roll my eyes under my goggles "Nah, Think I'm last up today, just waiting for the call"
.
.
.
.
Meanwhile, where the proctors are meeting.
A Strange cross dresser appears to be looking through the list of applicants "Last name redacted, does this slacker think himself so important that his last name is hidden from the proctors, well, I'll show him, I'll duel him myself"
One of the Proctors, a man in a suit and sunglasses replies " Which test deck do you intend to use"
The Cross dresser replies "Oh, I intend to use my own deck, if the slacker is too good to let us know his last name, he's too good for test decks after all, I intend to face him with my best."
Back to Kamito
Wonder what's taking them so long
Kamito – name hidden for privacy reasons Report to duelling field four for your test duel
A spiky haired (but not as spiky or as cool as mine) kid says "Name hidden for privacy reasons, who does this weak slacker think he is, he's nothing compared to the Chazz"
Fools, none of them have a clue, wonder how they'll react afterwards, Hopefully not by acting like irritating fanboys, I can't have idiots distract me from my main goal.
I arrive at duelling field four to find …. a Cross dresser? Standing in the opponents space on the field. This school has Cross-dressing proctors? Odd.
"I am Doctor Vellian Crowler, I am to be your opponent today as all of the Proctors are too tired after having a day full of test duels"
"Alright, lets do this"
"As if a weak slacker stands a chance against me, I have a PHD in duelling, there's no way you'll get past me, and there's no way you'll get into the academy" At that last bit, I get angry again, I WILL get into the academy, if I have to destroy this idiot to do it.
I feel rage in my soul, the thought of not being able to save Fate, NOTHING WILL STOP ME FROM DOING THAT. My eyes, under the goggles are glowing dark purple, an air of anger to my duelling, Berserk mode, albeit a minor case of it.
"BRING IT ON!" I roar, darkly, causing everyone to gasp.
The auto shuffle function on my duel disk activates, where the strange duelling coat does the same for Crowler
Duel Start – Kamito – 4000 LP Crowler – 4000 LP
"Well Slacker, how about we decide who takes the first move" Crowler said. With a faint scoff, I , the yet to be unmasked Kamito, son of Seto Kaiba decided on the sarcastic response "Ladies first, I insist" I let out, bored with having to listen to the fools blustering.
"LADY, I AM A MALE PROFFESSOR WITH A PHD IN DUELLING" Crowler snarled, clearly having woke up on the wrong side of the bed this morning, or PMS, its hard to tell with these cross dressers.
"Well then, if you would truly be so foolish as to relinquish the first turn to me, I'll happily take it and prove that you are nothing but a Slacker with no place in this Duel Academy." Wow, he's really blustering now, obviously going to be using his real deck and not a test deck, not that it'll make a difference to me.
Turn 1 – Crowler
"I draw!" Ending his draw phase, switching to standby and with no effects to happen switching straight to his main phase.
"To start with I summon Antique Gear Soldier in Attack Mode!"
Antique Gear Soldier Level 4 Earth Machine /Effect 1300 Atk/1300 Def
- If this card attacks, your opponent cannot activate any Magic/Trap Cards until the end of the Damage Step.
"Next I set 2 cards face down and then activate HEAVY STORM"
Heavy Storm – Normal Magic - Destroy all Magic and trap cards on the field
"The cards I destroyed were Statue of the Wicked, which, when destroyed, summon a Wicked Token in its place"
Statue of the Wicked – Normal Trap When this face-down card is destroyed and sent to the Graveyard, Special Summon 1 "Wicked Token" (Fiend-Type/DARK/Level 4 /ATK 1000/DEF 1000) on your side of the field.
"Next I play DOUBLE SUMMON – Naturally, this allows me to summon twice this turn"
Double Summon - You can conduct 2 normal summon/set this turn instead of just 1
"I sacrifice my 2 wicked tokens in order to summon one of my strongest cards with a power you could never match, RISE MY MIGHTY MACHINE – Antique GEAR GOLEM"Antique Gear Golem Level 8 Machine/Earth/Effect 3000 Atk 3000 Def Piercing damage , if this card attacks, your opponent may not activate any magic/trap cards until the end of the damage step
"I end my turn, see if you can match that Slacker" Why does the cross dresser expect me to match that, it was an awful play, he left himself wide open, no facedowns, no protective effects, might have been a good play going second, but going first, its just plain awful
Well then, time for my response
Turn 2 - Kamito
"I draw." I say, emotionlessly. Cards in my hand are rather interesting, only need 2 of them to win though.
"I summon Entermate Silver Claw in Attack position, and, in response to my own summon being successful I activate the effect of the Entermate Helprincess in my hand, allowing me to special summon her as well"
Entermate Silver Claw - Level 4 Beast/Dark/Pendulum/Effect 1800 Atk 700 Def Scale 5
Pendulum Effect – All Entermate monsters you control gain 300 attack
Monster Effect – When this card declares an attack, all Entermate monsters you CURRENTLY control gain 300 attack until the end of the battle phase
Entermate Helprincess - Level 4 Warrior/Dark/Effect 1200 Atk 1200 Def
When you Normal or Special summon an Entermate monster (except during the damage step) You can special summon this card from your hand
Crowler, at this point, ever the blustering idiot decided to interject "A doggy and a pretty princess, Oh no, whatever will I do
In the crowd, amid the fools that underestimate cards purely based on stats (oddly wearing blue jackets, I thought they were supposed to be the good ones) A boy with brown hair voices his assumption that I'm going to fuse to get over these weak machines, not a bad assumption mind you, but incorrect of course. A blonde girl and a man with oddly natural looking blue hair (stranger things have happened) seem to know what I have planned, likely the blue haired student is a 3rd year, and met Fate whilst she was here before she disappeared and is expecting something similar, and blonde girl seems to be similar to me, hiding the pain of loss under a mask, though not as literal as mine.
"The pieces are in place, and one of my decks true evolution's will manifest" I proclaim, angrily at the fools who think my deck weak.
"With the Level 4 Entermate Silver Claw and the Level 4 Entermate Helprincess I BUILD THE OVERLAY NETWORK"
"Formed from pitch-black darkness, to fight those foolish enough to oppose it with its treacherous fangs! Now, descend! Xyz Summon! Appear! Rank 4! Dark Rebellion Xyz Dragon"
Dark Rebellion XYZ Dragon Rank 4 Dragon/Dark/XYZ/Effect 2500 Atk 2000 Def
"You can detach 1Xyz Material from this card, then target 1 face-up monster your opponent controls; its ATK becomes half its current ATK, and if it does, this card gains that lost ATK."
Crowler (how this guy became a teacher, let alone a teacher of the top dorm confuses me) fails to realist my dragon has an effect obviously because he decides to blurt out "So this strange type of summoning was all a bluff, its obviously a legal summon because the disk wouldn't have accepted it and the system wouldn't either, but its still not enough, you're still 500 attack points short of my mighty Antique Gear Golem"
With a put out sigh "XYZ monsters use the overlay units, the very souls of the monsters formed to create them to unleash powerful effects"
"I detach 1 overlay unit from Dark Rebellion XYZ Dragon to reduce your Antique Gear Golem's attack points by half and increase Dark Rebellion's attack by the same amount. TREASON DISCHARGE!" Crowler, the blustering moron suddenly pales and looks like he's fearing for his life all of a sudden, heh, as he should.
Antique Gear Golem Attack 3000-1500 = 1500
Dark Rebellion Attack 2500+1500 = 4000
"I activate the effect once again, TREASON DISCHARGE!"
Antique Gear Golem Attack 1500-750 = 750
Dark Rebellion Attack 4000+750 = 4750
Crowler at this point starts whimpering and trying to cut a deal
At this point I switch to my battle phase, ready to end this duel in one blow.
The blonde girl at this point decides to add "No way, a one turn kill on one of Crowler's best cards, beating him like he was nothing, Zane this guy could be a match for you"
Zane , obviously the blue haired boys name replies "I doubt he's shown anywhere near what he's capable of yet Alexis , he hasn't even shown who he really is yet."
Time for the Deathblow. "DARK REBELLION XYZ DRAGON ATTACK ANTIQUE GEAR GOLEM. CRUSH HIM WITH YOUR FANGS. REVOLT OF THE LIGHTNING, DISOBEY!"
The impact of the attack almost blowing Crowler into a nearby wall , whoops, forgot that tends to happen when I'm annoyed.
Crowler LP 4000 – 4000 = 0
DUEL END – VICTOR – Kamito
"Well, I guess I'm in then" I shrug , scored 105% on the entrance exam, not that it was hard and then crushed the top duelling instructor in the academy in a ruthless OTK, not that any of it matters, I doubt the school can teach me anything, I'm only here to find Fate
"Fate my lost love, I will find you, no matter what I have to do" I whisper to myself
And then the major surprise happens, a rather well known man, tall, dark hair, white duelling coat, obsession with Blue-Eyes White Dragon, yes, Seto Kaiba, walks out of the shadows.
"A rather easy duel for you eh Kamito, not that anyone other than Fate has ever beat you , not even me" Kaiba intones, amused and rather casual, as he always is unless Yugi or someone else made him mad.
The audience at this point all look ready to faint in shock, that Kaiba admits being unable to beat someone... how good must he possibly be.
"You expected any less Dad? Guess you had me enter in disguise to see what peoples reaction would be to my deck" Dad always with his games, he knew I'd get in either way, I guess, just wanted to give me a chance to do it on my own merits
At this point, people look ready to faint, the guy they were underestimating and insulting was Kamito Kaiba. Seto Kaiba's son.
He then confirms exactly that "As much as , being the owner, I could just get you in, I wanted to see you crush the instructor and take the exam, to show them your own merits, of course, you'll be in Obelisk blue, though I will get them to allow you to wear your own clothes, light colours don't exactly suit you after all. Your boat has been sent ahead, will send supplies as you need, If anyone can find her, you can"
Tearing up at that I reply "I WILL Find her, no matter what I have to do, thanks Dad"
Crowler recovers from his shock at this point "WAIT A SECOND, I JUST LOST TO SETO KAIBA'S SON, THAT IS FAR BETTER THAN LOSING TO A SLACKER AT LEAST"
I decided to throw fuel on the fire "You lost because you made a purely offensive play on turn 1, and heavily underestimated both the cards and your opponent, always prepare for the worst, its better to be over prepared than get slaughtered due to the lack of it"
I then walk away, head held high, face still not unmasked, wonder if people will assume I'm a Vampire or something. Good thing no one noticed that the attack on that Gear Golem was actually real, well, Dad noticed, but eh, he doesn't care.
I wasn't the last duelist, apparently, a guy named Jaden Yooki? Yuki? Yuuki? Something like that has yet to duel, and the guy before me, Bastian Misawa, he may have beat the test proctor, but his strategy seems weak, like he plans his duels with maths and science or something, trying to win the duel before the duel has even happened is an impossibility against a good opponent due to the fact that you never know if they have something you haven't seen before, you can't plan for literally everything.
Well, lets watch this Jaden duel shall we. Haha, it seems Crowler is pissed that I beat him so easily and is taking it out on a relative unknown, well then, lets see what this little guy has. The blonde girl, Alexis, I think her name was, decides to walk over to me at this point, as does Zane , Alexis speaks first "Great duel, I've never heard of XYZ summons before, but they're really powerful, could you give me a quick explanation on them please" she's nice, relatively attractive as well, not Fate attractive, but I've never met a girl who is, guess she could be a good friend/ally.
Zane decides to add in at this point "From what I noticed, they use 2, or possibly more monsters of the same level, using them as fuel to create a new monster, with the "overlay units" as you called them being the power source for some extremely powerful abilities"
Guess some Obelisks really deserve the whole ' top brains' thing, he saw XYZ summoning once and it looks like he could do it himself if he had the cards to do so. I reply "Yeah that is the basics of it, though there are more complex parts as well. Notice when I summoned Dark Rebellion " I pull the card out of my extra deck at this time "Look at the stars, the difference in colour is important, note when I summoned it that I said Rank 4 , not Level 4"
Alexis, cluing in pretty quickly asks " So cards like Gravity Bind that stop monsters of a specific level from attacking wouldn't affect XYZ monsters as they have ranks, right?"
"Exactly Alexis, its a rather useful thing, though XYZ monsters are currently rather rare, when they become more common, most decks will run them, if not all of them"
"By the way, who was the noisy guy who was shouting about luck and how I would have never beat Doctor Crowler, and then immediately changed his mind on that when he realized I was a Kaiba"
Zane decides to field this one "Chazz Princeton, one of the heirs of the Princeton family, rich, but not you Rich. Acts like he's a god because he went to a duel prep school and came out top" Sounds like someone I need to take down a peg then, as there likely wasn't any real challenging opponents for him to come out on top against.
Alexis decides to ask a personal question, one I was expecting but hoping they wouldn't ask "By the way, what's with the mask and goggles, it looks cool , but it is an odd fashion statement for a Kaiba" Fashion comments and girls, I swear Fate was the only one who didn't make them.
"The goggles are technological, multiple filters, in case I end up searching through the dark, and the mask is protective, though, I do mostly wear them because I'm not a happy person. 2 years ago, I was too ill to go, but Fate, someone I care for more than my own existence went to the duel academy special seminar, and ever since that, she was missing. I intend to find her, and make whoever took her away from me pay dearly." Tears in my eyes at this point, not that they can see through the goggles
Alexis looks shocked, also starting to tear up as well "I'm sorry I'm sorry that was really insensitive of me to ask, I lost someone to that awful seminar too, my big brother Atticus, the dorm that they had it in is now abandoned, off limits, run down and creepy"
I snap out of my stupor at that "Do you think you could help me find it? I intend to search it, rules or not, to see if I can find something the investigators didn't, maybe, just maybe there's a hope of finding the people we lost, and if there is , I'll do whatever it takes to do so."
Zane and Alexis both nod in agreement, Zane seeming to act as a surrogate big brother for Alexis "As will I" they reply simultaneously, and then turn and look at each other in surprise.
Alexis, slightly much shyer than myself or Zane asks "Hey, Zane's already my friend, would you like to be my friend as well Kamito" I smile, not that she can see it
"Sure Alexis, hey Zane, how about you?" Zane smiles fiercely and adds "Sure, powerful friend like you, and I do not mean your last name, I know how much you held back against Crowler"
I laugh openly at this point, first time in a while "Suuuuure ya do Zane, you're right, I held back a lot, but if you show all your cards in one place, someone might stack the decks against you. So have to duel you two when we get to the academy, I could use an opponent that won't underestimate me and play stupidly like Crowler did." They think about this for a second, and Zane replies first "Why not, could be interesting, and you're right, the less you show, the less your opponent is prepared for, I have a feeling you are the sort of duelist that no one can truly prepare for" Well, I do have ALOT of extra deck monsters that I can substitute in to my 15 cards when preparing for a duel.
Motioning toward the duel being prepared on the now slightly damaged (whoops) duelling field four I note "So, what do you think of the kid that's about to duel? I'd bet on him running some kind of warrior type deck, likely HERO based on his spiffy happy go lucky attitude"
I neglect to mention that I can see his duel spirit partner, Winged Kuriboh? I see he ran into Yugi on the way here, but why would Yugi give that, and likely its support cards Winged Kuriboh level 9 and Winged Kuriboh level 10, did the spirit choose him or something, like mine and Fate's dragons chose us.
Zane chuckled and said "I wouldn't be surprised if he wins, Crowler is off kilter after you one turn killed him without even trying."
"Well then, lets see what he's got"
Duel Start - Jaden 4000 LP Crowler 4000 LP
Crowler, back in full bluster mode, blusterifications! Starts off "Well, I at least know that YOU are a slacker, my last opponent may have been a Kaiba, but you, both late, and a nobody, I WILL NOT LOSE TWICE IN ONE DAY. You first Slacker, you first"
Turn 1 – Jaden
I grin at this, realizing Crowler took my lesson to heart about going first not always being best if you have an offensive style deck.
Jaden is rather loud and cocky, "GET YOUR GAME ON "
"I set one monster face down in defence position , 1 card face down and end my turn!"
"Your move teach"
Turn 2 - Crowler
"I DRAW"
"I activate the Magic card Confiscation - I pay 1000 life points to look at your hand and discard one card from it
Confiscation -Magic Card – Pay 1000 LP – Look at Opponents hand, discard 1 card of your choosing
Crowler LP 4000-1000 = 3000
"I remember these cards when I was a novice , I choose MONSTER REBORN" Well, Decent card to lose, Poor Poor Jaden, I chuckle inwardly
Monster Reborn - Magic Card – Target 1 monster in either player's graveyard – Special Summon it.
"Aww Man"! Jaden reminding me of Swiper the Fox for a second.
"Next I set 2 cards face down " Jeesh this move again, does Crowler stack or something
I turn to Zane and laugh "Does Crowlers deck literally only have one play or something?"
Zane chuckles at that "Test deck ruling of having to face a powerful combo to get the best scores, Crowler did that with his own deck, likely". Wow, talk about sore loser.
"I ACTIVATE HEAVY STORM"
Heavy Storm – Normal Magic - Destroy all Magic and trap cards on the field
Jaden obviously wasn't expecting that, not that the facedown Draining shield that he had would have helped given that Antique Gear Golem would prevent its activation
"As before, I destroyed 2 Statue of the wicked, and summon 2 Wicked Tokens"
Statue of the Wicked – Normal Trap When this face-down card is destroyed and sent to the Graveyard, Special Summon 1 "Wicked Token" (Fiend-Type/DARK/Level 4 /ATK 1000/DEF 1000) on your side of the field.
"And once again, "I sacrifice my 2 wicked tokens in order to summon one of my strongest cards with a power you could never match, RISE MY MIGHTY MACHINE – Antique GEAR GOLEM"
Antique Gear Golem Level 8 Machine/Earth/Effect 3000 Atk 3000 Def Piercing damage , if this card attacks, your opponent may not activate any magic/trap cards until the end of the damage step
Looks like Jaden is about to take some damage, wonder what his facedown monster is
Crowler Switches to his battle phase at this point " ANTIQUE GEAR GOLEM, ATTACK HIS FACEDOWN MONSTER, MECHANISED MELEE!"
The facedown monster Jaden had turns out to be... Elemental Hero Avian. Anticlimactic much.
Elemental Hero Avian -Warrior/Wind/Normal 1000 Atk 1000 Def
I turn to Zane and sigh "Was at least expecting a Man-eater Bug or something, Guessing he plans to somehow get that Avian back and fuse it" Alexis and Zane look contemplative for a second and then nod, before Alexis replies "How is it you see through his strategy so easily when you aren't even the one duelling him" Easy question this time "I just think what I'd do in that situation, likely he plans to use the HERO field Magic to get over Gear Golem
Jaden LP 4000-2000= 2000
"I end my turn " Crowler intones in a way only a half Italian cross dresser can.
Turn 3 – Jaden
"MY TURN, I DRAW"
"I play the Warrior Returning Alive, targeting Avian in my graveyard and adding him back to my hand!"
Warrior Returning Alive Normal Magic - Target 1 warrior in your graveyard, add that target to your hand"
"Next I summon Winged Kuriboh in Attack Mode!" Stalling I see Jaden, either waiting for your field spell, or waiting for Fusion."
Winged Kuriboh Level 1 Fairy/Light/Effect 300 Atk 200 Def
If this card on the field is destroyed and sent to the graveyard, for the rest of the turn you take no battle damage.
I turn to the other 2, noticing they have seen the same as me "So you've noticed he's stalling, waiting for a specific card to end this as well"
Alexis replies first "Yeah, if you were right about his strategy it'll either be Fusion or the Field magic, just, will he get it in time "
Back to Jaden, "I end my Turn"
Turn 4 – Crowler
Crowler, having partially learned his lesson about blustering, and remembering that monsters have effects, didn't insult Jaden for leaving it in attack mode, whereas Chazz and a few others in the audience did exactly that.
"I DRAW"
Crowler skips through his main phase, obviously drawing nothing fancy or anything he can use at this situation, decides to go straight to his battle phase
"ANTIQUE GEAR GOLEM, ATTACK WINGED KURIBOH WITH MECHANISED MELEE!"
Winged Kuriboh, ever the trooper, takes the hit without complaining, and Jaden's LP doesn't go down
"Ah, so the Winged Kuriboh had a Life point protecting effect, as I suspected when you left it in attack mode"
"Sure did teach, I really want to get into this school now, it sounds like you guys know your stuff" Jaden replied cheekily
"As if you'll beat me to do it! I end my turn"
Alexis turns to me, chuckling "Crowler really took your lesson to heart, I doubt he knew what Winged Kuriboh actually did, but remembered what you said about not underestimating monsters and that unless its a normal monster, expect an effect"
I nod, glad that Crowler is less of a moron than he was this morning.
Turn 5 – Jaden
"I DRAW"!
"Yes it is here!"
"I activate the effect of Elemental Hero Captain Gold, discarding him from my hand to the grave in order to add the field magic SKYSCRAPER from my deck to my hand."
Elemental Hero Captain Gold Level 4 Warrior/Light/Effect 2100 Atk/800 Def
You can discard this card from your hand to add 1 "Skyscraper" card from your deck to your hand. If Skyscraper is not on the field destroy this card.
"Next I activate Fusion! Fusing my Elemental Hero Avian I recovered earlier with the Elemental Hero Burstinatrix in my hand in order to create a new monster".
" Fire and Air come together to create a brave and powerful hero. Walk the path of justice. FUSION SUMMON, Level 6 Elemental Hero FLAME WINGMAN!"
Fusion – Fusion Summon 1 monster from your extra deck using monsters in your hand or on your side of the field as material.
Elemental Hero Burstinatrix Level 4 Warrior/Fire/Normal 1200 Atk 800 Def
Elemental Hero Flame Wingman Level 6 Warrior/Wind/Fusion/Effect 2100 Atk/1200 Def
"Elemental HERO Avian" + "Elemental HERO Burstinatrix"
Must be Fusion Summoned and cannot be Special Summoned by other ways. When this card destroys a monster by battle and sends it to the Graveyard: Inflict damage to your opponent equal to the ATK of the destroyed monster in the Graveyard.
Well, that's that done, wonder if there's a place to get a drink nearby
"Next I activate SKYSCRAPER"
Skyscraper – Field Magic - When an "Elemental HERO" monster attacks, if its ATK is lower than the ATK of the attack target, the attacking monster gains 1000 ATK during damage calculation only.
Crowler seems to be clued in to what's going on as well "No, No , I can't lose twice in one day"
Jaden, cocky little upstart he is, grinning and replies "sorry teach, but that's game" switching to his battle phase
"Flame wingman, Attack Antique Gear Golem, SKYDIVE SCORCHER" after a flashy little display Flame Wingman Attack 2100+1000 = 3100
Crowler LP 3000 – 100 = 2900
"Now for Flame Wingman's sweet special ability, when it destroys a monster by battle, you take damage equal to the destroyed monsters attack points"
Crowler LP 2900 -3000 = -100
DUEL END – VICTOR - Jaden
"Gotcha, Sweet duel teach, Duel Academy here I come" Jaden, not looking the intelligent type, is likely going to end up in Slifer Red.
Alexis turns to me , grinning "Well, exactly as you predicted it, Fusion and Skyscraper, guess if you duel him it'll be an open book for you. By the way, what did your Dad mean about your Boat being at Duel Academy before you arrive there?"
I ponder that for a second "Oh, that, Luxury Boat, high end kitchen, I like to cook for myself, also, high security, has its own Computer, my D-wheel, and well, I'm used to sleeping in it, sleeping in an unsecured dorm room in a place where people have disappeared, not exactly my idea of safe."
She nods in agreement realizing that I'll be sleeping on a luxury boat rather than in the boys dorm "Guess that means you'll be easier to visit and wait did you say D-wheel?"
I chuckle, usually its guys that are excited by that "Yeah, Fate and I are the ones who designed them, they have slots for your duel disk, so if you're bored, or an adrenaline junkie you can have duels at high speeds, or you can just use them as a cool looking motorcycle."
"Well, I'll see you guys at the Academy, hope to duel ya soon." Those two perked me up, gave me hope I haven't had for a while, maybe this place won't be so bad after all, as long as I don't say that out loud, Murphy and his laws have a lot to answer to after all.
Phase one complete. I will find you and I will save you Fate. I swear it.
AN - Changes - Dark Rebellion given a slight buff, its IRL effect but with 1 overlay unit as a cost instead of 2.
Using TCG names for HERO , OCG names for Arc V cards.
For those who didn't realise, my OC is basically what would have resulted if Yuto had absorbed Yuya instead of the other way around, Also broody and dark at first as Yuto is because of Ruri
The cards recurring and card information is to show the characters reading the cards as they are played, something that doesn't happen much in the anime OR IRL.
Edit – Fixing Grammar, Fixing the missed card details, Some chapters will be shortened, chapter 6 split in 2. Rewritten because the grammar was awful in some cases, and also because I lost the original files when I got a new computer (had just finished 2-3 chapters ahead)
