I'd like to address that yes, this is mixed with Capcom's Darkstalkers with a little bit of Devil May Cry
The sun was bright as the helicopter carrying the new attendees for Duel Academy soared across the sea.
"Attention new Duel Academy students, if you'll look outside your windows, you'll see your new home away from home."
Several new students rushed to the windows to see their new campus. Jaden remained in his seat, intent on catching some sleep. Alexis, sitting next to him, had her head resting on his shoulder.
"Now, now, I know you're excited but don't shove. Now, if you'll place your seats back in the upright position, we'll be landing soon."
Jaden looked outside the window, with Alexis also stirring from her spot. "You can see it now Jaden. Our new home for a few years, and maybe we can finally find some peace and quiet."
"Yeah Lex, maybe we can finally get some down time from all the craziness of back then. It's a good thing I had that special badge, or my gear would be back at the mainland collecting dust." Alexis giggled at Jaden's remark. Ever since the war he hardly went anywhere without having his sword or guns. The seats were adjusted to their proper positions as the plane landed.
"Good morning to you, new students. I'm Chancellor Shepherd, and you are the best and brightest young duelists in the world. Normally I would suggest that you get yourselves settled in, but I must also welcome those new students that are Darkstalkers. I know that the special needs of the Darkstalkers must be met, but there are rules. If there is a particular requirement based on your individual species then please inform the head of your dorm. If there are species that require the presence of a guest then all visitors to any dorm must be notified to all dorm heads. I wish you all the best in the coming year." Chancellor Shepherd said on a video screen as everyone but Jaden changed and put on blazer jackets with different colors. Jaden still wore his red duster with more red and black with the sword on his back.
"Hey Jaden, why didn't you put on an Academy blazer?"
"I prefer my own coat besides, I'm in the Slifer Red dorm and my coat is red enough."
"Really? I'm in Slifer Red, too."
"Really? I couldn't tell," Jaden said sarcastically as he looked at the boy in the RED blazer.
"Hello, gents."
The two boys turned their attention to the one who called. It was Bastion, now in a yellow jacket.
"Hey Bastion. So you're in Ra Yellow?"
"Indeed, I am. What about you?"
"Slifer Red."
"Then why aren't you wearing the Academy issued blazer?"
"Like I told Syrus, my coat is red enough. So I guess we'll see you around the dorms?"
"I doubt that, yours is over there," Bastion pointed off into the distance.
Jaden then turned back to Syrus.
"What do ya say we check out our dorm?"
"Sure."
With that, the two set off.
It wasn't long before they found their assigned dormitory; it wasn't what they were expecting.
"This is our dorm? It looks more like an outhouse with a deck," said Syrus.
"It's not that bad besides, check out this awesome view."
Syrus joined Jaden where he stood and saw what Jaden meant: an excellent view of the ocean stretching into the west, perfect to catch the sunset.
"Here's my room." Jaden then noticed that he also had the same room. "Same here. Well, here's to the year." He said as he opened the door. Jaden and Cyrus saw that the room wasn't that bad. 'A lot better than some of the slums Lex and me had to sleep in.'
"Hey, maybe we knew each other in a past life like Pharaoh Mahdo and High Priest Seto?" Jaden shook his head at Syrus' suggestion. "That's ancient history. Besides, this is a good place for a new beginning. Now to see what the hell we're doing to make this place better." Jaden opened the window curtains. "HEY! That was closed for a reason!"
"AHH! A DEATH KOALA!" Syrus screamed getting Jaden and the guy to cover their ears. "I AIN'T A KOALA! You guys are freshman, so I'll explain the dorms and their colors for ya. There are three dorms: Obelisk Blue, Ra Yellow, and Slifer Red. Obelisk Blue is the best dorm on the island, and only those with money, connections, or are incredibly talented can get in there. Ra Yellow has those with potential and can do well. Then there's us the 'Red Wonders'."
"Red Wonders." Syrus was almost awestruck, until the boy started once more. "As in 'it's a wonder that they got this far.' Slifer Red is better known as the 'drop out' dorm because most people have no talent, and it's the least repaired dorm. Name's Chumley Huffington by the way."
"I'm Syrus Truesdale." Syrus was disheartened by the idea of being a 'drop out' or 'talent-less', but he was cordial anyway. "I'm Jaden Yuki, and I hope you don't mind bunking with Darkstalkers." Chumley had a shocked expression, but then he concentrated on Jaden. "I think I saw you somewhere before." Jaden wasn't quite listening to what Chumley said as he placed his sword and a pair of guns, that he was allowed to bring with him via a special badge, but it was those objects that got Chumley thinking. 'A white and Black gun, and I think I can make out the words Luce and Ombra, a red duster with lots of black, and an odd long sword. Where do I know that from?' It was only a few seconds later that he went wide-eyed at the information. "HOLY CRAP! YOU'RE THE LEGENDARY SPARDA, LEADER OF THE DARK KNIGHTS!"
"Could you say that a little louder? I don't think they heard you in China," Jaden said as he rubbed his ears.
"Sorry, it's just such an honor to meet you. I've heard so many stories."
"Um, is Jaden some kind of celebrity?" asked Syrus.
"Don't you know anything? Sparda was a hero from the Cult War, a living legend, the ultimate Darkstalker."
"Wow. I didn't know Jaden was so famous," then a thought occurred to the young boy, "Hey, what did you mean by 'ultimate Darkstalker?"
"I say 'Ultimate Darkstalker' because he's considered the single most powerful of them all."
"I always heard that Vampires were considered the most powerful."
"As a species they are but on an individual level, Sparda outclasses them all. This guy is said to have power on par with a God."
Syrus remained silent as he gazed at his new roommate in awe. Jaden, however, was starting to get uncomfortable with all this attention.
"Okay, I think we've had enough of my backstory. Let's go check out the school, I can tell there's some major Dueling action going on!" he shouted as he ran out the door.
Jaden ran off, with Syrus following him. "Uh, how can you tell that there's a duel going on, and where are we going?" He asked, but Jaden didn't mind it too much. He just kept going. "I know that there's a good duel around here somewhere. Hope whoever's dueling knows how to throw a party." He said as he continued to walk. After a bit of walking, the two Darkstalkers found their way into an arena. "Wow, this place is huge!" Syrus exclaimed, looking at the sheer size of the arena. "Meh, I've seen bigger." That was actually true on Jaden's part. Some of the members of Dark Gene had access to some of the most expensive and best places for dueling, in addition to their laboratories. They weren't alone in the arena as some Obelisk Blue students were around. One of them noticed the two. "Hey! You Slifer Slackers aren't supposed to be here!"
"We're just a couple of students looking for a duel. It's not like we're breaking a rule or something." Jaden said, but one of them pointed to something. "See that crest on the wall over there? That shows this is an arena for Obelisk Blue dorms." Sam, the spiky haired boy said, but then he noticed the blue haired glasses boy's expression. "What's up Clint?"
"That's the kid that beat Crowler without losing a single life point." It was then that Sam had a look of surprise, but a third voice caught their attention. "Well, it looks like you lost your way, Slacker." They looked to see Chazz up in the bleachers looking down on them. "I'll tell you now that you beating Crowler was most likely a fluke. I'm Chazz Princeton the next King of Games, and the top student of Duel Prep." Jaden just looked at the boy and sighed. 'Great, a kid that's rich and thinks he's got it all. Hope he can duel better then he can brag.'
"There you are," said a female voice.
The five boys all turned to the source, one Alexis Rhodes as she walked up the group. Her uniform was the same as before but she had opened it a little to allow a generous amount of cleavage to be seen. She had no shirt underneath her blazer but they could make the edges of a red lace bra. Two of the three Obelisk boys, Sam and Clint, were almost instantly reduced to drooling idiots at the sight of her. Chazz kept his cool so as to look good. Syrus was stunned speechless at this goddess that walked among mortals. And Jaden was… well… Jaden.
"Wow, who is that?"
"Hey Alexis. Have you come to watch me mop the floor with my new little friend, Jaden here? It'll be a short duel but an entertaining one at least."
Alexis silently snorted at Princeton's arrogance. She knew someone would mop the floor with the other but it wasn't going to be who Chazz thought it would.
"I'm here to remind you about the Obelisk welcome banquet, you're late."
"Oh right, come on guys," Chazz said as he walked off with his two friends.
Alexis then turned to the two boys in red.
"Sorry about Chazz, Jaden. He's an asshole especially with Slifer Red students."
"That's okay, Lex. Come to think of it, we should get going, too," said Jaden.
"Yeah, the Slifer welcome dinner is starting, too."
"C'mon Sy!"
"I would join you guys, but the rules say that we have to be in our individual dorms. I think it's to make sure everyone is there." Jaden nodded at Alexis' statement before they parted ways.
The girls of Obelisk Blue were having a nice in the girl's dorm. It was truly a splendid feast, and Alexis was going to enjoy herself. 'Would be nicer if Jaden was here, but he'd probably start playing Highway to Hell or another rock song.' She thought and giggled a bit at the prospect of Jaden turning a fancy dinner party into a rock concert. She kept a look around and saw that there were indeed a few female Darkstalkers. There weren't as many as ordinary humans, but she noticed a few vampires, among other species, mixed in. Some of the human girls had a feeling of fear with some of the species, but she shook it off as everyone worldwide was still adjusting. 'Better let Madame Fontaine know that Jaden's going to be seen a good deal in the future.' She thought as she noticed the dorm headmistress of the Obelisk Blue girl's dorm, after she had made the toast.
At the Slifer Red dorm, however, things were not as festive. In fact, many of the students looked at their meager-looking meal in despair.
"This is our banquet?"
"Never mind that, loot at our headmaster. It's a cat!"
That particular student was proven wrong when a lanky-looking man stepped into the room. He had long, dark grey hair with squinty eyes behind a pair of glasses.
"Hello, students, I am Professor Lyman Banner. I will be your headmaster and your instructor on Duel Alchemy. Now before we dig in, let's all tell each other about ourse-"
He was interrupted by the sound of someone, namely Jaden Yuki, shoveling his food into his mouth.
"Uh, Jaden, we're supposed to say something about ourselves," Syrus said, trying to stop the boy before he got in trouble.
"How's this then? I'm starving!"
A warning bell then went off in Jaden's head. This had saved his life many times during the war so he wasn't about to doubt it now. He looked up to see Prof. Banner leaning over and staring at him; a jovial grin on his lips at Jaden's antics.
"Well, since some of us don't feel like waiting, let's just eat!"
The man walked back to his table but Jaden kept his eyes fixed on him. He sensed something about Banner, he wasn't a Darkstalker but he wasn't human either.
Jaden was relaxing in his room, reflecting on a few things. "Well, today wasn't that bad. Lyman seems like a cool guy, and the dorm's not bad." Jaden said as he checked his guns. Syrus and Chumley were a little nervous, but this is Sparda. "Relax guys, I didn't bring live ammo. Just some rubber bullets. Hurts like hell for normal humans, and with a bit of demonic power they can hurt Darkstalkers just as bad." Before anyone can say anything, Jaden's PDA, Personal Duel Assistant, rang. Jaden checked out the video message and saw that it was from Chazz. "Hey Slifer Slacker, I haven't let you off on that duel just yet. Tonight at the Obelisk Blue arena, and just for fun let's make this duel more interesting: winner gets the loser's best card and Alexis as their girlfriend. See ya." The screen went dead, and Jaden's eyes turned red for a bit before going back to their usual brown. Syrus and Chumley got nervous when he seemed to have an evil smirk on his face. "Looks like Chazz is throwing me a party. It'd be rude to ignore the invite."
Jaden and Syrus made it to the Obelisk Blue arena, and they saw Chazz. Chumley decided to hit the sack and sleep the night away. "Looks like the Slacker decided to show up."
"I don't know about Slacker, but I came. You got your crew, and I'm just waiting on one more person to make this a real party." This got the three blues and diminutive vampire red confused. "Who you waiting for?"
"Just my second in command. She should be here right about now." And as soon as Jaden finished that sentence, Alexis walked in, not looking too happy.
"Alexis?"
"Yeah, she and I fought together in the war. She was my second in command when I was occupied with… other matters."
Jaden then turned to Chazz.
"I also told her about your little bet concerning her, she never did like being treated as a prize."
"Yeah, yeah, just make sure you get ready to hand over your card, Slifer Slacker," Chazz said, ignoring what Jaden explained earlier.
"I'll go first Slacker, and I summon Reborn Zombie in defense mode." A ragged zombie then appeared on the field, kneeling as if to defend him. "I think I'll play a face down and end my turn."
"My turn," Jaden drew his card, "I'll start off by summoning Dark Knight Capricorn in attack mode!"
An evil-looking knight with a goat motif wielding a lance appeared.
"And I'll play the spell Stop Defense and switch your zombie into attack mode."
The corpse monster then stood up.
"Now Capricorn will attack Reborn Zombie!"
Dark Knight Capricorn/ ATK: 1500
Reborn Zombie/ ATK: 1000
The Knight twirled his lance before bringing it down in an overhead slash on to the Zombie.
Chazz: 3500
"I'll throw down a face-down and call it a turn."
Chazz looked at the goat like knight and drew a card. "Fine then, I play Chthonian Soldier in attack mode!" A wicked looking soldier then appeared on the battlefield. "I'll place another face down and attack your knight!" The armored soldier then attacked, but Jaden kept his cool. 'There's a reason he just attacked, and I got the feeling it's not a good one.'
Dark Knight Capricorn/ ATK: 1500
Chthonian Soldier/ ATK: 1200
The two warriors squared off before Capricorn ran Chthonian Soldier threw with his spear. The warrior burst into shards but his sword remained and came down on Jaden.
Chazz: 3200
Jaden: 3700
"When Chthonian Soldier is destroyed in battle, you take the same amount of damage that I took. But I'm just getting started. I activate Chthonian Blast! It destroys your monster and we both take damage equal to half of your monsters attack points."
Chazz: 2450
Jaden: 2950
Jaden started to chuckle a bit after that. 'Heh, he's just started to break down now.'
"Looks like you can't handle playing with the huh?" Chazz started before Jaden went into a good laugh. "Uh, has Jaden lost it?"
"No, he's enjoying this, and it's good to hear him laughing like that." Alexis softened as Jaden stood up once more. "Man, it was a great idea to use my Dark Knight Deck instead of the Hell Deck. I haven't had this much fun dueling in years!" This was confusing to Chazz, but he ended his turn anyway. "It's your turn now Slacker."
"Okay, I draw!"
"And I activate my face down, Call of the Haunted! With it, I can summon a monster from my graveyard. Rise Chthonian Soldier!"
The warrior returned to the field to defend Chazz.
"Then I play Blood Revival which allows me to sacrifice a monster on the field or in my hand to summon a monster from the Graveyard so I'll say goodbye to Dark Knight Taurus and welcome back, Dark Knight Capricorn!"
A fountain appeared before Jaden. the head began to trickle a red liquid, no doubt blood as the card's name sake. it overflowed and pooled onto the ground before it rose up and shaped into Capricorn.
"But there's more, I play Polymerization and fuse Dark Knight Capricorn on my field with Dark Knight Virgo in my hand."
An image of a woman in black evil armor appeared next to Capricorn
"I fusion summon Dark Knight Draco!"
"Geez, why can't this game just fade into a fad already?" The three humans and Darkstalkers heard some people walking around. "This is the last place to check. Let's just get this over with and call it a night." Said another voice, both of the voices were male. "Guys, we have to go now or we'll get in trouble with Campus Security." Alexis said, getting Jaden's attention. "Let me guess, Chazz decided to forget mentioning that there's no after-hours dueling."
"Bingo Jaden. Let's get out of here." Jaden de-activated his duel disk and looked at Chazz. "We'll just have to settle this some other time."
"You won on a fluke, Slacker." Chazz retorted as both groups left. The two men that were on Campus Security entered to see the duel arena empty. No one was there, leaving them to head off and get some sleep.
Jaden, Syrus, and Alexis made it out of the building without getting caught. "I knew I can count on you milady." Alexis smiled at Jaden's comment and offered her hand, which he took and kissed. "Of course I'd help out, but we both know you would've won. Oh, I better make sure you have this." She then gave a card to Jaden, but it wasn't a dueling card. "This card will let you into the girl's dorm in Obelisk Blue. Just show this to Madame Fontaine or whoever's on security and ask for me. This way we can pick up where left off, before you went off the radar for a few months. See ya later Jaden." Alexis finished with a wink, before growing a pair of white bat-like wings on her back and a smaller pair on her head. She then took off flying into the night, heading back to her dorm. "Wow, I didn't know that a succubus would be so beautiful."
"Yeah Sy, she sure is. Well, time to get some sleep." Jaden said as they started back to their dorm, wanting to be ready for class, and maybe get a since of normalcy for a while.
