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.


A bald man with a maroon jacket appeared on the flat screen televisions in the Duel Academy lecture hall. With a smile on his face he welcomed the students. "Good morning and welcome my students! I'm Chancellor Sheppard, the headmaster here and YOU are the best and brightest young duelists in the world. Now please get yourselves settled in at your assigned dorms."

Jaden, Krisp and Sy walked outside from the lecture hall and stopped at a Baby Dragon statue. Jaden pulled out his Duel Academy Communicator (DAC) and pulled up his profile. "Well I don't know about you guys, but looks like I'm in the Slifer red dorm."

Syrus pulled out his own DAC and profile. "Hey, that's great. Same with me!"

Krisp shook his head at the lack of attention to detail Syrus and Jaden had. They were all wearing Slifer red jackets and didn't figure out what dorm they were placed until they looked at their DAC. "I guess we're all in Slifer red then." Krisp then saw a student with a yellow jacket come out from the lecture hall and towards them. "Hey Bastion!"

Jaden turned to his left and gave Bastion his trademark smile. "Hey, what's with the yellow jacket? You should really get a red one. It would look good on you." Krisp quietly laughed at Jaden's comment.

Bastion raised his eyebrows in a questioning manner. "You mean you haven't figured it out?"

Syrus looked up from his DAC. "Figured out what?"

"The color of your jacket represents the dorm you are in. Red for Slifer. Ra for Yellow. Blue for Obelisk."

Jaden look at his DAC again. "Oh, I get it. That's why Sy, Krisp and I are in red."

"Please don't tell me you've just figured that out now."

"So, what? Ever think I'm color blind?"

"Well, no, actually I didn't. So, are you?

"No, but I could have been. So, are you here to duel me Bastion?"

"Not quite, I want to be ready for you and Krisp. I was about to walk to my dorm and get settled in."

"Oh well then I guess we'll see you around the dorms."

Bastion pointed to the cliffs as he walked towards the Ra dorms. "Highly unlikely. Your dorm is over there."

"This isn't a dorm! It's a two story out house."

Jaden smacked Syrus on the back and said, "Are you kidding me Sy, we've got the best view on campus. This place is great."

"I …. Well it is a nice view."

Jaden, Syrus and Krisp walked up the stairs and to their dorm room. Jaden put his hand on the door knob and turned it to open it. "All right, this one here is our room guys."

The room had two bunk beds on two sides. Both the bunk beds were on the right side of the room. On the left side of the room were four chairs and tables with a computer on each table. There was a clear path on the middle of the room. The path led right to a window that was covered up.

"This is kind of small huh?"

"Hey, you're a small guy."

Krisp rolled his suitcase over to the bunks and threw his backpack on the first top bunk. "I got top bunk."

Jaden went over to open the curtains and said, "I'll take whatever is left. Anyway, I like it. This will be a great pad for us."

"Kind of weird, meeting at the entrance exams and now roommates? Hey, you think we are connected to each other in some ancient life? Like you were a king, Jaden, Krisp was your most trusted warrior and I was your advisor."

Krisp slightly chuckled at what Syrus said and couldn't help but think about it.

As Jaden opened the curtains, someone yelled, "Hey, those were closed for a reason."

Syrus, Jaden and Krisp turned to look at the top of the second bunk. "Oh sorry, we didn't' see you up there."

A koala looking figure woke up from his slumber and stared at them with an angry expression. "Well can you see me now?"

Syrus and Jaden freaked out as they held hugged each other in fear. "AHHHHH!"

The koala looking figure looked down at the two. "Would you stop the scream? Who are you guys and what are you doing in my room?"

Syrus and Jaden let go of each other. "Oh sorry, my names Jaden's Yuki." The bluenette pointed at himself. "And I'm Syrus." Krisp jumped off the top of the other bunk bed. "And I'm Krisp."

Jaden decided to finish it off with a friendly introduction. "And we're your new roommates."

The koala looking figure laid now again. "You're new all right. So, let me tell you how things work around here."

Syrus stopped him mid conversation with an excited face. "Like when parent's visit is going to be?" Krisp sweat dropped at the mention of parent's visit.

"Duh, like how the whole color thing works. That's more important than anything." Krisp, Syrus and Jaden gave them their full attention and in unison said, "Yeah?". The Koala looking figure shifted around and laid on his back. "Ya got 3 different kinds of students here. Obelisk blue students, Ra yellow students and Slifer red students. Now the blues are the highest ranked. Some are there because of their grades and others are there because of their connections. The yellows are second highest. Mostly young students with lotsa potential. Then, they're us the red wonders."

Syrus interrupted him once more. "The wonders. That's a cool name."

"As in I wonder how flunkies like us ever got this far, maybe. Yeah, sorry but we're the bottom of the barrel here, Dueling duds. Oh, I'm Chumley by the way." Syrus sweat dropped at the comment and gave a worried look on his face. Jaden noticed this and said, "Don't listen to that Sy. We've really got to work on that confidence of yours though."

Syrus, Jaden and Krisp arranged their beds and put down their possessions in their respective beds. Syrus decided to take the bunk below Chumley and Jaden was left with the bunk below Krisp.

Jaden turned to look at a tired Syrus and said, "You know what we should. Check the place out."

Syrus looked up with an excited expression. "Yeah! Krisp nodded his head. "Yeah, let's go!"

After a couple minutes of taking turns using the restroom, Krisp, Jaden and Syrus were walking around campus. They stopped right in front of the Dual Academy Area and stared with awe.

Jaden started running to the entrance. "Let's go check out the arena guys!"

Syrus ran after him. "Hey, wait up!". Krisp slowly walked in thought. I've known Jaden for all these years and I still don't know where he gets all that energy from. Could it be? That would explain it I guess.

Jaden started smelling the air. "I can sense that we are about to be in a duel." Syrus looked at him in confusion. "How can you tell? Do you have a sixth sense?" Krisp locked his index finger and stuck it up in the air. "Can't you feel it Syrus? It's in the air." Syus looked back and forth at Jade and Krisp as if they were crazy. "Maybe if Today's pollen count was lower. Are you sure we should be in here?"

"Wow. Too cool!" The three said in amazement as they looked at the arena.

"I bet it would be amazing to duel in here," Syrus said as he was getting ready to take out his deck. Jaden turned to look at Syrus with eagerness. "Let's find out."

Not noticing the three figures on the opposite side of the arena, the two walked over to the field.

A skinny blue Obelisk with glasses walked up to them. "Hey this is the blue Obelisk's campus. What are you doing here?" His friend joined in. "Yeah, you Slifer red rejects aren't welcome here. Check out the crest. This arena is out turf."

Krisp frowned at the comment. Why did our dads force us to come here again? Oh wait, that's right. Jaden wanted to come.

Syrus looked at the two Obelisk in intimidation. "Sorry, we were just looking around. We're going to leave, right Jaden?"

"Nah, we don't have to leave. Not if one of you guys agree to duel me. Hey, I know, I'll be a guest duelist."

"Hey you're that kid." "Chazz that applicant who beat Dr. Crowler is here. Check it out."

Chazz stepped out of the shadows at glared at Jaden.

Jaden waved his hands up to Chazz and smiled. "Hey what's up. My name is Jaden." Jaden turned to look at the two obelisks next to him. "And he's …. Chuzz, was it?"

Chazz glared at Jaden in more anger than before. Chazz's lackey fired back at Jaden. "His name is Chazz Princeton. And he was the number one duelist back at Duel Prep School. So, you make sure and pay the proper respects, got it?"

"Yeah, he's going to bet the future king of games. The best duelist in the world."

Jaden looked at Krisp as they both smirked at laughed at that comment. "Impossible."

"Say what?"

"You see, it's impossible for him to the be the future King of Games, because that's exactly what I'm going to be."

Syrus looked at Jaden after the comment he just made. Man, I wish I was as confident as Jaden. Maybe then, my brother would come to recognize me as a duelist.

Chazz's lackeys started hysterically laughing. "A Slifer slacker as King of Games? That will be the day."

"Can it you two. Maybe he's right. After all he did beat Crowler and his legendary monster of his. I guess it does take some skill to do that or was it dumb luck? Let's find out right now."

You bet!" Jaden responded as the two were about to get their decks ready for a duel.

"This sure is a Motley crew."

Syrus turned around and looked at the two female Obelisks that had just entered the arena. "Whoa! Who are they?" he said with a slight blush on his face.

Chazz looked at Alexis with admiration and lust. "Hey Alexis, have ya come to watch me mop the floor with my new little Slifer friend. It will be a short duel but an entertaining on for sure.", he said with a cocky attitude and smirk.

Yoona crossed her arms across her chest and gave a small frown. "We're here to remind you about the Obelisk welcome dinner. You're late." Chazz started walking out of the arena with his 'Chazz Walk'. "Oh yeah. Come-on, guys." The two brainless idiots that he called his friends followed him after shortly.

Alexis turned around to face Jaden, Syrus and Krisp. "Sorry, If Chazz rubbed you the wrong way. All of us Obelisks aren't like that. He's just a jerk, especially with Slifers."

"Aww, it's no big deal. Those types don't really bother me at all. Besides I'd have beaten him in one turn." Syrus reacted with a shocked expression. "We're going to have to work on that overconfidence."

"Ok, Two turns. Maybe two and a half."

Alexis, Krisp, Syrus and Yoona chucked at Jaden's comment as Jaden sweat dropped. "What?"

Yoona turned to look at her watch as they stopped laughing. "The Slifer welcome dinner is about to start too."

"Right we better go too." Jaden said as he started jogging out of the field.

"Hey, wait up!" Syrus called out as he chased after Jaden. Jaden quickly turned around while jogging in place. "Oh, hey. What were your names again?"

"Yoona."

"Alexis Rhodes and yours?"

"The name's Jaden. And this here is Syrus."

Krisp walked down from the seats. "Hey, aren't you forgetting me?"

Jaden sweat dropped as he almost forgot about Krisp. Man, he was extremely quiet there. I wonder what he was thinking about then and there.

Krisp turned around to the two girls. "And my name is Krisp, nice to meet you two!"

"Nice to meet you as well." Yoona responded.

"Well, I guess we will see each other around." Krisp said as he slowly walked out of the arena.

"Jaden…." Alexis said lightly as Krisp walked out the arena.

Krisp heard Alexis slightly whisper Jaden's name as he walked out the arena. He couldn't help but slightly chuckle in his head and smirk. Looks like Alexis might have a crush on Jaden. I wonder when he will notice. But then again, it's Jaden. Krisp's smirk was slowly wiped off his face as memories played in his head. Maybe it's for the best if he doesn't notice.

Yoona of course heard Alexis slighty whisper Jaden's name as well. Yoona didn't say anything but kept that in mind. After all she wasn't going to start a discussion with Alexis about Jaden and Krisp. It would just lead to the other saying that the other had feelings for one of the boys. She wasn't about to let rumors start popping up in case someone heard that conversation.

The Slifers look down at their 'Welcome dinner feast' and sweat dropped. "This is our fancy welcome dinner?" One of them said with disappointment. Another one stood up and pointed to a cat. "Forget the food, our headmaster is a cat!"

A tall black-haired professor with glasses walked out of the kitchen and waved at the students. "Hello, Children. I'm professor Banner. Now before we eat, I'd like each of you to tell us something about yourselves."

"MMM-this stuff is good!" Jaden said as he chowed down his food.

"I hope we can get seconds!" Krisp joined in.

"Guys, we're supposed to say something about ourselves!"

"How about this we're starving!" The two said as they continued eating.

"Guys, he's walking over here. I mean it." Syrus said as he gulped.

Professor banner walked over to them. "Well since some of us don't feel like waiting. Let's chow down."

After dinner the boys had walked back to their rooms and started to set up their bed for the night.

Jaden's DAC beeped in alert. Jaden accepted the message. Chazz's face showed up on the screen. "Hey Slifer slacker. Don't think you're off the hook. Tonight, at midnight, it's on. And why don't we make it interesting? Whoever wins gets the other guys best card." The message finished and Jaden turned off his DAC. "Cool, I guess I'll get to duel after all."

Chumley looked down from his bed. "If it's Chazz you are dueling. All you got is trouble." He rolled back to the other side and started snoring.

After a couple of hours, Jaden and Syrus got ready to meet Chazz at the dueling arena. Syrus looked at Krisp and said, "You're not coming Krisp?".

Krisp pulled out his KPhone and took out his ear buds. (Kind of like an iphone but made by Kaiba Corp. DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN the iPHONE, APPLE or any products affiliated with apple or apple products.) "Nah, as much as I would like to. I have to make a few calls. Plus, I want to take a walk on the beach. It feels blissful at night. Besides, I'm sure Jay can win against that cocky Obelisk."

Jaden smiled at Krisp and nodded his head. "Alright Syrus, let's get going." Syrus and Jaden walked out of the dorms and started heading to the arena. "So, Jaden, does Krisp always do this. He's pretty quiet and keeps to himself." Jaden rubbed the back of his head. "Yeah, he tends to do that a lot. He likes to listen to music and take walks alone. He likes to be in thought. Actually, you know he's only slightly extroverted when he's with me." Syrus smiled at Jaden and said, "I think you make everyone do that." Jaden gave Syrus his trademark smile as they entered the arena.

Syrus started getting anxious as they walked into the building. "I'm not sure this is a good idea Jay."

"Good or bad. When someone challenges you to a duel, you gotta step up Sy."

"Well well, he shows." Chazz said in a mocking tone.

"You better believe it, there's no way I was gonna miss this."

"I'm ready to prove that you beating Doctor Crowler was a fluke. Get ready Slacker."

Jaden pulled out his deck. "Yeah, well, we're gonna find out something else too. Like which one of us is really going to become the next King of Games. So, get you game on!"

"DUEL!" The two shouted as they drew.

Chazz: 4000

Jaden: 4000

"All right slacker, I'm summon Reborn Zombie [ATK:1000 DEF: 1600] in defense mode. And I'll also put one card face down."

"I guess that's one way to start a duel, but I'm gonna go a little bigger." Jaden said as he drew his card. "I'll play Polymerization and fuse Elemental Hero Burstinatrix and Elemental Hero Avian to summon Elemental Hero Flame Wingman [ATK:2100 DEF: 1200] in attack mode."

Chazz started smirking and laughed. "So predictable slacker. I activate my trap, Chthonian Polymer."

Syrus looked at the duel in confusion. "What's Chthonian Polymer's effect?"

"I had a feeling we'd find you guys here." Syrus turned around and saw Alexis and Yoona walk over to the field. "Chthonian Polymer is a nasty trap, it allows you to take control of an opponent's fusion monster by sacrificing one of your own."

"You heard her. Wingman is mine. I sacrifice Reborn Zombie to get your Wingman. I knew you would use him, you wouldn't stop talking about him."

Jaden rubbed the back of his head. "Well… I …. uh, he's just that cool okay. Anyway, I'm going to summon Elemental hero Clayman [ATK:800 DEF: 2000] in defense mode and end my turn. There all set."

"Yeah, all set to get taken down. My turn. I draw. I play Chthonian Soldier [ATK:1200 DEF: 1400] in attack mode. I'll use your own lame card to take you out. Wingman, attack his Clayman. But that's not all, Chthonian Soldier, attack him directly. Windstorm slash."

Chazz: 4000

Jaden: 1800

Jaden feel down to one knee as he winced.

Chazz looked over at Alexis and smirked. "Are you starting to know your place here at the academy yet slacker? You're at the bottom of the food chain. You're nothing compared to me."

Alexis and Yoona frowned at Chazz's comment while Syrus stared at him in shock and fear.

"Il end my turn with a face down." Chazz said as he faked a yawn and mocked Jaden.

Jaden jumped up to his feet and faced Chazz with a big grin on his face. "This is too fun! Just what I came here for. The trash talking and the dueling. I'm ready to take you down! I draw. I activate Pot of Greed and draw two additional cards. I'll put three cards face down and summon Elemental Hero Sparkman [ATK:1600 DEF: 1400] in attack mode. Sparkman now, attack Chthonian Soldier with static shockwave.

Chazz: 3800

Jaden: 1600

Jaden and Chazz both winced as they lost 200 life points each. "Hey what gives, why did I lose life points."

Chazz smirked and shook his head. "No wonder you're a slacker. When Chthonian Soldier gets destroyed, you lose the same amount of life points as I do. If you're done making your turn, I'll end this sad duel."

Jaden gave Chazz his trademark smile and said, "Give me your best shot!"

"It's just a matter of time before I show you that you were just lucky to beat Doctor Crowler. My next attack will end this game. Go Wingman, end this game."

"Not so fast, I activate Hero Barrier. I can negate an attack from one of your monsters if I control an elemental hero monster. Pretty sweet huh?"

Chazz gritted his teeth. "Lucky move slacker."

Syrus looked over at Alexis. "Wow, that was a pretty sweet move."

Alexis still had her gaze on the duel at hand. "I guess, Jaden is still in this duel after all."

Yoona couldn't help but just nod and smile at the sight of seeing Chazz getting frustrated.

Jaden looked over at the spectators and grinned.

Chazz pulled out two cards from his hand and put them face down on the field.

"Alright my turn. I draw. I'll activate Fusion Recovery and bring back one Polymerization and Elemental Hero Avian. I now activate Polymerization to fusion summon Avian and Sparkman to fusion summon Elemental Hero Great Tornado [ATK:2800 DEF: 2200."

"The best part about him is that all monsters you control lose half their attack and defense. Flame Wingman [ATK:1050 DEF: 600]. Great Tornado, use Tornado Wipeout!" A large tornado came on the field and struck down Wingman. I'll end my turn with that."

Chazz: 2050

Jaden: 1600

"All Right!" Syrus jumped up and shouted.

"Nice moves Jaden!" an impressed Alexis said.

"Well played Jaden." Yoona said as she nodded at the other's comments.

"More like lucky move, if you ask me, if you Slifer scum!" Chazz shouted back at the spectators as he was clearly annoyed at Alexis' comments towards Jaden.

Yoona looked around and suddenly remember that Krisp wasn't there. "Jaden, I don't mean to bother you, but where is Krisp? Isn't he your best friend?"

Jaden turned around to face Yoona and said, "You know, just doing Krisp stuff."

"What do you mean?"

Alexis raised her eyebrow at Yoona's questions but decided to not say anything at the time.

"Well, he's probably calling his dad and family members and taking a walk on the beach. He usually likes to take walks alone at night. The real fun is here though! I mean come on, dueling, late at night!" Alexis couldn't' help but smile and chuckle at Jaden's admiration and love for dueling.

Chazz growled at the exchange of conversation between them and said. "This duel's not over Slacker. I activate Chthonian Blast since you just destroyed Wingman. I can destroy a monster on the field that has the lowest attack and we both take damage equal of half that monsters attack. I choose Lame Tornado since it's the only one on the field.

Chazz: 650

Jaden: 200

"That's not all. I activate Call of the Haunted and bring back my Chthonian Soldier [ATK:1200 DEF: 1400] in attack mode. Now, end this duel Chthonian Soldier, use Windstorm slash.

Yoona, Syrus and Alexis stared at the oncoming attack and were staring with shock as they waited for the duel to come to an end. As the smoke cleared out, Jaden was still standing and smiling. "I haven't had this much fun in a while Chazz! Thanks for a fun duel."

Chazz gritted his teeth. "Why didn't my attack end the duel? What kind of trick is this Slacker?"

Jaden showed the trap card that was just sent to the grave card. "I activated Negate Attack to stop your monster's attack and end your battle phase. Now if you don't mind, I'm getting ready to end this duel!"

"You wish slacker!"

Yoona, Syrus and Alexis just gasped in shock at Jaden's comment. But, they should have known better. After all, Jaden was pulling off these ridiculous combos and moves that kept him constantly in the game. "I draw, and I'm going to play –"

Alexis cut off Jaden and said, "Guys we've gotta get out of here. The disciplinary squad can't catch us here now."

Jaden turned to look at Alexis. "What do you mean? Can't we duel." Yoona took out her handbook and flipped to page 54. "The handbook says no dueling after curfew. Did you even bother to read it?"

Jaden rubbed the back off his head and sweat dropped. "Well, I uh…."

"Come on, we've got to go. We'll be in big trouble if we don't leave now." Alexis said with a worried look. "But the duel…."

"Jay, let's go … we can't stay here." Syrus said as he walked over to the field and started pulling his friend.

Chazz deactivated his duel disk and started leaving. "I've seen all that I needed to see. I can see now that you beating Doctor Crowler was just a fluke. Next time I duel you Slifer, I'll make sure the whole school is there to see me take you down." Jaden was about to respond when he heard the footsteps get closer and decided to follow Alexis and Yoona out of the arena.

Jaden turned to Alexis and Yoona and said. "Thanks for showing us the back way out."

Yoona and Alexis nodded their head. "You really are stubborn, aren't you?" Alexis said with a small smile. Jaden gave a slight chuckle and said, "Only about my dueling."

"I'm sorry you didn't 'get to finish your duel."

Jaden grinned at Yoona's comment. "It's fine. Besides, I would have known how the duel would have ended." Alexis raised her eyebrows at Jaden's comment. "No offense but from our point of view, the duel could have gone either way."

Jaden pulled out two cards and showed them to Alexis, Syrus and Yoona. Syrus gaped at the cards and Yoona and Alexis just smiled. "You see, I would have activated Monster Reborn to bring either Flame Wingman or Great Tornado and then activate Waboku (remember Jaden set down three cards after activating Pot of Greed but only used two). I would have destroyed Chthonian Soldier and took no battle or effect damage (for the sake of this duel, I changed the description of the card to take no battle or effect damage from cards this turn) from his effect."

Alexis and Yoona just nodded their heads and smiled while Syrus was still gaping. "Well, I've got to go find Krisp. We'll see you guys later." Jaden said as he shook Syrus from his state and started running to the beach. Yoona and Alexis waved and said good bye.

Alexis couldn't help but smile as she saw Jaden leave. Something about his care free nature, his admiration and love for dueling and his dueling attitude made her smile. Yoona noticed this and kept her mouth shut. The two of them turned around and started walking over to the girls Obelisk dorm. On the way there, Alexis couldn't get dueling Jaden out of her mind. However, Yoona was thinking about Krisp and what Jaden said. She remembered his duel from the exams and wanted to duel him and see his real deck. Maybe I'll go to the beach tomorrow night and ask him for a duel then.


"Hey, Syrus go on ahead to the dorm. I've got to talk to Krisp about some personal stuff."

Syrus just nodded his head and said, "Alright Jay, I'll see you later."

As Jaden walked over to the beach, he couldn't help but think about a certain dragon guardian duel monster spirit that had been awfully quiet and was missing. I wonder where Yubel is. She wasn't there at the exams and missed this entire day.


Meanwhile in the Spirit World

"We have to tell him!"

"No, he isn't ready!"

"Yugi, has taught him enough!"

"He's only 15, he's not ready!"

"THE WORLD IS GOING TO END!"

Duel monsters were frantically worrying and shouting at each other. Everyone seemed to be shouting something at each other as they were concerned about something or someone.

"SHUT UP!" A female with purple and white hair and dragon wings shouted showing her clear annoyance at the duel monster spirits. "I'm his guardian and I'll let him know when he is ready. He isn't ready just yet. I'll continue my training with him and ask Yugi to guide him through the spirit world."

Dark Magician stood up and stood next to Yubel. "She's right! After all she is his guardian. The threat will be here in a few months and we'll use that time wisely to prepare and train him. We'll keep it on the low and let Yubel tell him when she thinks he is ready!" He walked over to Lord of D and said, "After all, he has Krisp and Lord of D as well. He's in good hands and will be ready."

Yubel nodded at Dark Magician and thanked him. After a few moments of discussing the event and seeing a frantic Steam Gyroid constantly running back and forth and blowing his horn, the meeting was cancelled.


Back at Duel Academy

Jaden finally saw Krisp walking on the beach and waved to him. He saw that Krisp was still on the phone and decided to give him a bit of privacy.

(Authors Note: Voices in phone conversation on the opposite line will be displayed in quotes in italics)

"Hey Dad" Krisp said.

"Hey Krisp, how did the exams go?"

"It was alright. Jaden beat Doctor Crowler and I decided to not reveal my deck just yet."

"You're going to have to use it sooner or later you know?"

"Yeah, yeah. I know. But I don't want to yet. You know what will happen after I do."

"I understand. So, what dorm did you and Jaden get placed in?"

"We're in Slifer red, but I like it. It's nice and quiet and has a great view. Anyways, how is mom?"

"She's doing great. She is concerned about you though. Just stay out of trouble. You don't want your mother going down there, would you?"

Krisp sweat dropped at what his dad had just told him. He loved his mother but didn't want her to embarrass him or reveal his identity.

"I promise. I'll also keep Jaden out of trouble. I think I'll call mom tomorrow and let her know that everything is going great before she starts worrying."

"Good idea. Listen Krisp, I've got to go back to sleep. I have an early meeting tomorrow. Call me again tomorrow. Just make sure it's not this late."

Krisp heard a slight chuckle from his father as he said that. "Alright dad, I'll talk to you later. Good night."

"Good night, Krisp."

Krisp hung up his phone and started walking towards Jaden.

"Was that your dad or a secret girlfriend?" Jaden asked with a teasing tone. "Yeouch!" Jaden yelped as Krisp smacked the back of Jaden's head. "Ask a dumb question like that again next time and you're going for a swim."

Jaden shook his two hands, side to side, in a frantic motion that said, 'please no' and said, "I'm just teasing you."

"Have you talked to your dad or mom yet Jaden?"

"Not yet. However, I can't imagine what parents visit weekend is going to be like."

Krisp and Jaden pictured a hectic day filled with questions and chaos at the sight of that.

"That reminds me. Krisp, you have to use your deck soon. I know you don't want to reveal your identity yet but your cards are so great!" Krisp gave a small frown and just nodded.

"That reminds me, have you seen Lord of D today?"

Krisp shook his head. "Actually, I haven't seen him this since the exams this morning."

"Weird, same thing with Yubel. Winged Kuriboh is the only one that showed up. Even then, he's disappeared." The two stared out into the ocean in deep thought about where the duel spirits could have gone to. "Hey, I know. Maybe they are having some crazy party!" Jaden said as he imagined a duel monster party with tacos, fried shrimp, music, karaoke and balloons. He could not be more wrong. The two laughed at that thought and talked for a few more minutes about dueling before heading back to the Slifer dorm.


Meanwhile in Zane's room

Jaden and Krisp look familiar, but I still can't figure it out. Zane stared at his computer screen with full attention as he was going through databases to search for a Krisp Fudo and Jaden Yuki. He finally came across a Fudo and looked at a tall scientist with black rim sunglasses and a long trench like lab coat with the KC initials on it. Zane further expanded his search until he came across two images. He saw two little boys with duel disks and decks. They were none other than young Jaden and Krisp. The second image was of a KC family retreat where he saw the same scientist again holding both Krisp and Fudo.

After an hour of looking at various databases to find more information about Krisp and Fudo, Zane decided to give it a rest. He scrolled through the last article until he saw something that made him raise his eyebrows. The names of two familiar people appeared on the article. Thinking about it, Zane noticed the pattern and pulled up all the other articles he had skimmed through. Their names have appeared in every article relating to Fudo and those two. It's either one of them or both that seem to appear. Zane thought about the relevance and stared at the monitor with a wide-eyed face. Is it possible? That's a stretch. It can't be can it? That would explain why Krisp hasn't used his real deck yet. He wants to keep his identity a secret. However, I'm surprised Jaden's deck isn't like either of the two decks. I'm going to have to duel Krisp against his real deck to find out I suppose. Zane decided that it was enough research for today. After all, he now had a huge lead as to who Krisp and Jaden could be. He decided to keep this a secret to himself, until he was able to confirm it. Even if I found out they were related to those two. I could never give that information out. It'd be chaotic and I could understand why they would keep it a secret. Zane laid down on his bed and pulled his blankets over him as he headed into his slumber, deep in thought of Krisp and Jaden.
