Chapter 2: A Welcoming Duel to the Academy

/ -------- - --------- ----------- - -------- / ---------- -------- -------- ------- /

After the rest of the initiation duels took place, all the students that had passed were sent to a nearby boat to get to the academy.

"Well, I'm one part to finding her," thought Cain as he got on the boat and saw that there was a line of his fellow peers that had managed to get into the academy were in a long line. "Wonder what's up with the line. Might as well see."

As Cain waited in the line, the boat began to leave the shore. When the line was shorter, Cain had learned that the duelists ahead of him were learning which dorm they were assigned, which room and to receive their uniforms as well as their room keys, though some students had already received their uniforms at the test area. Cain quickly reached the beginning of the line to see Mr. Fortanu behind a desk.

"Ah, Cain, its you," greeted Fortanu as he looked at the list. "Let's see what dorm you get."

"With all honesty, I don't really care where I go," Cain said as Fortanu went under the desk for a second. "I just wanted to get into the acad…"

"Here you go," interrupted Fortanu as he handed Cain a card key, a piece of paper and a yellow blazer. "You're in the Ra Yellow dorm."

Cain was pushed out of way of the student who was behind him. A few minutes later Cain was sitting at a table looking at his Ra yellow blazer with anger in his eyes. "Yellow?"

/----- ----- ----- ---- ---- ---- ----- --- -- /// ----- ---- --- -- ------ ------ ------ -//

"I hate yellow," Cain thought as he lifted the jacket. "Who designed this uniforms? I heard the academy was at a tropical island, yet we have to wear jackets?"

"Get used to it," said a female voice as Cain looked up and saw a girl with red hair that reached past her shoulders who seemed to be around his age in the female Ra yellow uniform walking up to him. The two things that Cain noticed were the girl's uniform and the fact that she was probably a little taller than himself.

"I see you got your uniform," Cain said as the girl sat down next to him. Cain saw that the uniform consisted of a white sleeveless jacket with a yellow strap at the collar and a short yellow skirt. Cain had a little tint of red on his face.

"Well I got mine at the registration," replied the girl as she sat at the table Cain was at. "My name is Kazica Cididal, what's yours?"

Cain quickly offered his hand and Kazica shook it. "Cain. Cain Sonryu."

"So why did join the duelist academy?" asked Kazica as Cain sighed and held his left hand on his right arm.

Cain looked away as he winced at his hard grip. "Sorry to be rude, but those are my reasons alone."

Kazica stood up and bowed towards Cain. "Well, I'm sure you've got your reason. I'll be seeing you later."

"Yeah," Cain replied as Kazica walked away. Cain then mentally slapped himself. "Get a hold of yourself! Remember why you're coming here."

An hour later, Cain looked out towards the sea from his seat and saw that the boat was about to dock, so he prepared his backpack and his deck to get off. After docking, all of the new students left the boat and headed towards their dorms.

Cain scoured the Ra Yellow hallways as he looked at the piece of scrap paper in his hands. "So room 124. There we go."

Cain entered his room just in time to be greeted by loud snoring. Cain looked towards the bunk beds to see someone sleeping on the top bunk. "This guy's already sleeping?" thought Cain as he took out his uniform and sighed. "Well, I might as well look at the island while I've got some daylight. Maybe I'll find some clues. But first, I need to change into this stupid yellow blazer."

Cain quickly changed into his uniform, but he had a black muscle shirt underneath the yellow jacket. And he had black pants that were ripped at the shins. He then strapped on his duel disk and slipped the card key into his pocket before he left the room to walk around the island.

/ ------- -------- --------- ----- --- / ------- -------- ------ --------- -- /

"This island is larger than I thought!"

The island was huge! There were forests huge plains and then there were the three dorms. The Silfer Red dorm seemed a little run down, then the Ra Yellow, which he had already seen, was in fine condition. It was the Obelisk Blue dorm that got his jaw to drop, it was a huge building with a great yard. Cain just shrugged it off and headed back towards the Ra yellow dorm.

"Might as well check out the arenas as well," thought Cain as he walked towards the Ra yellow main building to check out the arena.

A few minutes later Cain was at the Ra Yellow arena, it was better than expected. There were yellow bleachers that had a few students watching a duel that was going on. Cain was surprised at who was dueling; it was Kazica who had just finished her opponent off.

Cain just shrugged as he began to walk towards his seat. "Might as well enjoy a couple of duels and learn some strategies."

Kazica blinked as spotted Cain walking towards the stands. "There's Cain! Might as well get the job that Kiro wanted done now.' Who will be my next opponent? How about the short white haired Ra?"

Cain just stopped in his tracks and lowered his head. Then the next second Cain spun around with his eyes blazing with anger. "DON'T…CALL…ME…SHORT!" Cain yelled as he quickly jumped onto the dueling platform while activating his duel disk.

"I take it that you accept my challenge?" asked Kazica as Cain quickly shuffled his deck.

"You better believe it!" Cain replied as he snapped his deck into his duel disk. "No one gets away for calling me short!"

"Then let's duel!"

Cain LP: 4000

Kazica LP: 4000

Everyone could see that Cain wasn't really tall, in fact he was a little shorter than Kazica, and some people were snickering. But that quickly stopped when Cain glared at them all with fire in his eyes.

Kazica drew first signifying that she was going first. "Ladies first. I summon Jetroid (1200/1800) and end my turn." A light red jet suddenly flew in front of Kazica; it had cartoon eyes and was curved to look like it was standing.

"That's it?" asked Cain as he drew and Kazica nodded. "Fine, I summon Rocket Warrior (1500/1300)!" A green warrior appeared with armor that looked like a rocket suddenly jumped in front of Cain. "Next, I think I'll place two cards face down, and now my Rocket Warrior attack her Jetroid!"

The Rocket Warrior began to charge towards the Jetroid. Suddenly, out of no where many chains shot out from nowhere and strained the Rocket warrior in place (800/1300).

"Where did that come from!"

"You triggered Jetroid's special ability, when it's targeted by an attack I can activate trap cards from my hand so my shadow spell seemed to be the perfect choice," answered Kazica.

"I end my turn," Cain growled as Kazica drew her next card.

"Now I switch Jetroid to defense mode, and summon Drillago (1600/1100) in attack mode!" announced Kazica as a metallic beast with many drills all over its body appeared. "And then I'll place two cards face down, and now Drillago attack his Rocket Warrior!"

Drillago quickly jumped into the air and slammed its spinning drills into the Rocket Warrior instantly shattering the warrior. The crowd cheered as Cain lowered his arm just in time to see his life point counter lower.

Cain LP: 3200

Kazica just smiled as she held her right hand up with a peace sigh. "Alright! First blow caused by me!"

Cain quickly drew his next card, sighing at it. Then lifted another card from his hand and placed it on his duel disk. "Not bad at all, but now I summon one monster face down in defense mode, and my turn ends."

Kazica giggled as she drew then looked at card. "Ah…What's wrong? A little scared?"

Cain narrowed his eyes at the comment before shouting. "Don't refer me to little!"

"What's the matter don't like being called short? I activate my trap card, jar of Greed! Which lets me draw another card."

Kazica's trap card flipped up revealing a red and yellow jar with a toothy grin on it. As soon Kazica drew her next card a grin appeared on her face almost as big as the Jar's.

"Now I activate mystical space typhoon to destroy your face down card on the right!" Announced Kazica as a huge burst of wind destroyed Cain's call of the haunted. "Now I sacrifice Jetroid for my B.E.S Crystal Core (2100/1000)!"

From where the Jetroid once stood, appeared a powerful ship trapped in blue crystals with two mechanical tails on it, the machine revved up as Kazica smiled. "And this machine can't be destroyed by battle three times. Now Drillago destroy his face down monster!"

The Drillago quickly slammed its drills into the face down monster and instantly destroyed the monster. But before Kazica could command her next attack, an orange hand quickly shot out of the ground and pulled the B.E.S. Crystal Core into the ground.

Kazica's eyes widened as she saw Cain raise a card from his graveyard. "What the?"

"You destroyed my Newdoria (1200/800) and when destroyed by battle I can destroy one monster on the field and your Crystal Core counts," Cain explained.

"Cool move!" Kazica complimented as she motioned that it's Cain's turn.

"I activate my trap card A Rival Appears! So meet my Kaiser Sea Horse (1700/1650)! Next I summon Breaker the Magical Warrior (1600/1000) and he gains 300 hundred extra attack points!"

All of a sudden, a blue sea serpent warrior and a red clothed mage wielding a sword and shield appeared in front of Cain.

"Now Breaker! Destroy her face down card!" commanded Cain as Breaker shot a red magic blast and destroyed Kazica's face down card. "And now Kaiser Seahorse destroy her Drillago and Breaker attack her directly!"

The Kaiser Seahorse quickly slammed his spear into the Drillago and then Breaker quickly slashed Kazica on the arm.

Kazica LP: 2300

Cain quickly slid one card into his duel disk. "I'll end my turn with one card face down."

"And it comes to me, and I play card of sanctity!" announced Kazica as both duelists drew till they had six cards in their hand. "And next I play the spell card Polymerization! To fuse the three Cyber Dragons (2100/1600 x3) in my hand to form Cyber End Dragon (4000/2800)!"

All of a sudden a huge three-headed silver metal dragon with huge wings appeared in front Kazica. All three heads roared causing the ground to shake slightly. Cain looked a little worried as he glared at the dragon. "And now attack his Breaker!"

With a deafening roar, the Cyber End Dragon fired a large powerful flame of blue fire that crashed directly into the red mage.

Cain LP: 800

"This duel is far from done," said Cain as he drew and his eyes widen. "My sister's card, and the card needed to win this duel. I summon Winged Kuriboh (300/200) in defense mode!"

All of a sudden a small brown puffball with little angel wings appeared in front of Cain, many of the guys laughed at the sight while the girls awed at the cute little creature. Even his opponent squealed while he sighed. "Such a cute creature! But do you think that little guy can defeat my dragon?"

"I switch my Kaiser Seahorse to defense mode and place two cards face down," Cain continued as his Seahorse knelt down. "And that's it for me."

"My move and I'll play a pot of greed!" announced Kazica as she drew two more cards. "And now Cyber End Dragon attack his Kaiser Seahorse and end this duel with your trample ability!"

The Cyber End Dragon began to charge up its attack when suddenly a bright light began to engulf Winged Kuriboh. "What's this?"

"I've activated my trap card! Shift! Now your attack will destroy my Winged Kuriboh!" Cain explained as the attack from the Cyber End Dragon shattered the winged fur ball.

"Oh well, at least I still win," said Kazica as Cain just smirked.

Cain quickly raised his duel disk to show that his life point counter hadn't even shifted. "On the turn Winged Kuriboh is sent to the graveyard, I don't take any damage from your attacks this turn in case yer wondering."

"Well, that's a good save," complimented Kazica.

"This duel's done, but before I end this," Cain started as Kazica looked confused. "I got something to ask ya."

"And what would that be?" asked Kazica as Cain closed his eyes.

"I've heard of a male crimson haired duelist who wears a silver skull necklace and uses Archfiends who comes here," Cain replied as he opened his eyes. "Have you seen a duelist like this?"

"Unfortunately, no," answered Kazica as Cain looked not surprised.

"Thanks, then I my play pot of greed! Let's me draw two cards!" Cain announced as he drew two more cards. "Now, I play monster reborn! To bring back Breaker, the Magical Warrior (1600/1000)!"

"He's not really going to help you," said Kazica as Cain raised another card.

"Really, then I sacrifice both of my monsters to summon Gilford the Lightning (2800/1500)!" Cain announced as his monsters disappeared in light, then lightning struck the ground revealing a muscular warrior wielding a large sword with his clothes in tatters.

"Too bad that you only sacrificed two monsters," pointed out Kazica as her dragon was struck with electricity till it shattered. Kazica jaw dropped as she noticed that her dragon was gone. "What just happened?"

"Guess you forgot about my Kaiser Seahorse's special ability," Cain answered as Gilford raised his sword once more. "It counts as two tributes for light monsters instead of one! And now Gilford finish this!"

Gilford quickly jumped high into the air, his sword raised proudly above his head. For a few seconds it looked like it was stuck in time, till the warrior pointed his sword towards Kazica and began to fall at a fast rate. Kazica managed to raise her duel disk to protect herself from the cold steel sword that Gilford was wielding. Unfortunately, electricity surged from the blade and zapped Kazica.

Kazica LP: 0

"Good duel," Cain said as the holograms disappeared and Cain walked over to Kazica.

"Well you're a good opponent, and I'm surprised you have cards like the Winged Kuriboh," replied Kazica as Cain sighed and grabbed his right arm. "Is something wrong?"

"No, its nothing," Cain replied as he turned around. "See ya later and hope to duel you soon."

Meanwhile we find two familiar Obelisk Blue students, Vic and Kiro, watching the duel from the crowds.

"Looks like your cousin failed Kiro," Vic taunted, as Kiro looked embarrassed.

"It ain't my fault she's not as good as me," replied Kiro as he glared at Vic. "Sides aren't you worried?"

"'Bout what?" Vic asked as he was shuffling through his cards.

"Cain said he was looking for an older duelist with crimson hair and wears silver skulls," answered Kiro as Vic looked shocked. "Do you think he's talking about you-know-who? And also he might be able to take your rank!"

"If so then we'll have to take him out," Vic replied as he watched Cain and Kazica leave the arena. "This school has plenty of pawns we can use."

"Naw, I'll take him out," said Kiro as he raised his deck. "His deck maybe of Chaos, my deck clashes to help each card out."

"Whatever," Vic sighed as he walked away.

Kiro just ran after Vic, nearly knocking over another student who was walking by. "You got something to say Vic?"

Vic just searched his pocket and pulled out a card then threw it over his shoulder to Kiro who barely caught it. "Actually yeah, you won't even stand a chance against him. Unless you use that card…you'll lose."

Kiro just slid the card into his back pocket with a smug look on his face. "Yeah right…I don't need no stickin' card to be a Ra Reject."

"Stupid dolt." Vic just sighed as Kiro began to laugh out loud
