A/N: Okay, here's the second chapter and I KNOW that the first chapter was SUPER long. It wasn't my fault…okay it was. But the ideas for the duels came fast so…yeah! Anyways, what are the Black Circles? Why did Dante have to secure the perimeter? What secret are the Black Obelisks hiding? All good questions. Almost all about to be answered! And I know I said I would update every two weeks, but I had this one done early, so I think I'll make it I'll update WITHIN two weeks. After two weeks if I haven't updated feel free to yell at me!

Welcome to Duel Academy
"Attention, new Duel Academy students, if you look outside your windows, you'll see your new home away from home. Now, now I know your excited, but don't shove. Quite a sight eh? Now then, fasten your seatbelts and put your seats in their upright position. We're going in to land. Next stop: Duel Academy Island." The pilot of the chopper spoke.
"Whoa! It looks so cool!" Rika smiled looking out the window. Riku, who was sitting next to her nodded.
"No kidding! It's huge!"
Syrus, was sitting with Bastion, the latter who was explaining Seto Kaiba's reasoning for creating the schools and the different technologies they had there. Rose and Dusk were sitting next to Rika and Riku. Dusk looked out the window and rose an eyebrow. "Please tell me, that's not an active volcano?"
Rose, who was looking through her deck, looked over Dusk's shoulder out the window. "There's a volcano on the island? Whose brilliant idea was that?"
"Man, I'm so excited!" Jesse spoke bouncing in his seat. Jaden was sitting next to him and nodded enthusiastically.
"No kidding! There are bound to be a whole bunch of good duelists! But, I wonder what those Obelisks told us. What are the Black Circles?"
Flashback
Jaden looked at Alexis in confusion. "Black Circles? What is that?" Alexis merely grinned and shook her head.
"That's not important right now. For right now, go home and pack." Alexis suggested.
The Obelisks got up from the table, and were about to walk away when Jesse reached out and grabbed Danni's shoulder gently. "Wait, don't ya think we should all get to know what it is ya'll just signed us up for?"
Danni snickered and took a sip of her pineapple juice. "Don't worry too much cowboy. Let's just say we're a bit…extraordinary."
"Ouran, make sure they all get home. Then we've got to make the boat." Alexis insisted. "Have a good day." All the other Obelisks were out the door, but Alexis stopped. "And by the way…everything isn't always as it seems."
End Flashback
"They seemed pretty mysterious." Bastion agreed, overhearing Jaden's conversation. The chopper had just landed and the kids started filing out.
"We can just find them later." Dusk pointed out.
Riku nodded in agreement. "Then we can just ask them."
Rose shook her head in confusion. "I guess it's just like a club."
"But, what's with the scanners?" Rika pointed out.
"I just want to know what's with the flowers." Syrus added in.
"Should we be followin' them?" Jesse asked noticing all the other new students walking towards one of the main buildings.
Jaden snapped his fingers. "Oh shoot! We have the introduction!"
The new students all stood in a rows in the auditorium, in front of a large screen on the wall.
They all wore different colored uniforms. Jaden, Syrus, and Riku, were in red, Bastion, Rose, and Rika were in yellow, and Jesse and Dusk were in blue. The eight of them, along with a couple others, had the flower they were assigned by Danni in black on the back of their uniforms.
The screen turned on and Chancellor Sheppard's face appeared on the screen. "Good morning and welcome students. I'm Chancellor Sheppard, the headmaster here, and you are the brightest young duelists in the world." Jaden and Jesse were dozing off during the introduction. Rika and Riku tried to get them up, but gave up after a while. "Now please, get yourself settled in to your assigned dorms. I believe you will feel quite comfortable…depending on how you ranked of course."
After the assembly Jaden, Jesse, and Syrus all met outside, waiting for the others. They were messing with their Duel Academy Portables, or DAP. "I don't know about you guys, but it looks like I'm in the Slifer Red dorm."
"That's cool! So same with me." Syrus commented.
Jesse shook his head. "I'm in Obelisk."
Jaden frowned. "Dude, so unfair." The others walked up to them and Jaden looked up and smiled. "Hey guys, you in Slifer Red too?"
Everyone looked at each other, wondering if Jaden was even in the same room with them for the past twenty minutes. Bastion, however, was the one to answer. "Now let's see here, yellow sleeves, yellow buttons. I don't think so."
"Oh…I get it. So that's why Sy and I are in red and Jesse's got blue."
"I thought it was to match my hair." Jesse joked. He may have been sleeping, but it didn't take him long to figure out the color system.
"Please don't tell me that you've just figured that out now." Riku shook his head.
"So what? Ever think I'm color blind."
Rose looked thoughtful. "Actually no."
Dusk smirked. "If you were color blind, how are you able to tell that you and Sy were in red and Jesse was in blue?"
Jaden, caught, started laughing. "Well, I could've been." Bastion, Rika, and Rose all started walking off. "See ya around the dorms!"
Rika turned around in smiled. "Sorry Jay, I don't think that'll happen. Your dorms over there." Rika pointed to a small two floor red dorm, over by the cliff. The Ra's all went to walk away when Jesse called out.
"Bastion, Rose! Keep an eye on Rika for me!"
"Jesse!" Rika hissed.
Riku snickered. "For your own good." Bastion and Rose gave a thumbs up before walking away with Rika.
Dusk looked to Jesse. "Should we go check out our dorms now?"
Jesse nodded. "Sure! See ya later ya'll! Let's meet up back here to explore later."
"Okay, see you guys later." Riku spoke. The two Obelisk boys walked away. Jaden put a hand on Riku and Syrus's shoulders.
"Well, what are we waiting for!"
"This isn't a dorm. It's like an outhouse with a deck." Syrus complained. Riku nodded. The place didn't look much better up close. Jaden, however, was looking over the railing of the deck in the back.
"Are you kidding me? Check out the view! This place is great!" The three started walking inside of their room. "Alright, this one here is our room you guys!"
The room wasn't very large. It had one set of bunk beds for three against a wall. Next to it was a single bed attached to the end of the bunk on the bottom. Across from the beds was a long desk that sat three. "It's kind of small." Syrus pointed out.
Jaden shrugged. "Hey, you're a small guy. Anyway, I like it! This'll make a sweet pad for our first year here!"
"Your so odd." Riku shook his head chuckling.
Syrus grinned, as if thinking of something. "Yeah, kind of weird meeting at the entrance exams and now roommates! You think the three of us were somehow connected in an ancient life? You know, like Jaden was an Egyptian pharaoh, Riku was a Priest, and I was the Guardian Seto?"
Riku rose and eyebrow and shook his head, not knowing how to even respond to that comment.
Jaden, always colorful with his word choice, retorted. "No offense…but that's just lame."
"Well, it could be true." Syrus spoke.
"Nah, they broke the molds when they made the three of us." Jaden laughed.
"Yeah, for different reasons."
Riku, who was laying on the single bed that he had claimed as his, sat up and walked over to the two. "Dude, we need to work on your confidence issues."
Jaden nodded in agreement. "No kidding. But first, let's work on this pad!" Jaden opened the curtains, letting light stream in.
"Hey! Those were closed for a reason!" A voice called out. All the boys looked to the top bunk and saw the lump of a person underneath the sheets.
"Oh, sorry." Syrus apologized. Riku nodded.
"Yeah, we didn't see you up there."
The person snorted. "Well, can you see me now?" The boy looked over the railing and growled a bit. He bore a striking resemblance to a Koala bear, from his large nose, to his hair which was in two odd buns on either side of his head.
Riku, Syrus, and Jaden all grabbed onto each other and screamed, startled by the boys odd looking appearance. "Would you stop screaming? Who are you and what are you doing in my room?"
"Oh…sorry! My name is Jaden Yuki!" Jaden spoke cheerfully.
"Riku Anderson." Riku spoke waving.
"I'm Syrus." Syrus spoke simply.
"We're your new…roommates?" Jaden looked confused as the boy turned over, not interested.
"Your new alright, so let me tell you how things work here." The boys spoke.
"What things?" Jaden asked.
"Like, when parent visiting day is?" Syrus asked confused.
"Duh, like how the whole color thing works. That's more important than anything."
"Yeah?" Riku asked, hoping for him to continue.
"We have three kinds of students here: Obelisk Blue, Ra Yellow, and Slifer Red students. Now the blues are the highest ranked students. Some kids are blue 'cause of grades, others through connections. The yellows are second highest, mostly younger students with lots of potential. Then…there's us. The red wonders."
"The red wonders?" Riku repeated.
"That's a cool name." Syrus put in.
"Yeah, as in I wonder how flunkies like us got this far maybe. Yeah, sorry but we're bottom of the barrel here. The dueling duds. Oh…I'm Chumley by the way." Chumley turned over and fell asleep.
Riku looked freaked out by Chumley. "Okay…let's head off now." He whispered. The other two Slifers nodded and they walked out of the dorms. They were wandering around for a while, heading back to the main buildings, and Syrus was acting depressed.
"Come on Sy, don't tell me your still depressed." Jaden spoke. The small blunette shrugged.
"But Chumley said we reds were the worst."
"Forget that!" Jaden smiled. "I mean, red's a sweet color! Where do you think the term 'red hot' comes from? From red baby!"
Riku nodded. "Besides, the year hasn't started yet, so how can we be the worst?"
Syrus smiled. "Yeah, you guys are right. Red is for red hot! Scorching! Dangerous! Hot!" Riku looked at Syrus and nodded, also being weirded out by the small fry. Jaden nudged him and pointed to Jesse and Dusk who were waving to them. The two ran over while Syrus was still going on. "I'm like a furnace! Or a really big bottle of spicy dip! Right guys?"
Syrus, for the first time, noticed they were gone and ran off the catch up. "Hey there lil' buddy. How's ya dorm goin'?" Jesse asked as the three caught made it to him and Dusk.
"It's an outhouse with a deck." Riku spoke, quoting Syrus from earlier.
Syrus nodded. "It's really small."
Jaden waved it off. "It's awesome! We've got a killer view."
"Cool!" Jesse smiled.
Dusk grinned. "Our dorms are awesome! Jesse and I are sharing a room but it's HUGE! We've got beds that feel like your floating on air! And our dining hall his huge! It's like a five star hotel!"
Riku and Syrus glared at him. "Rub it in, why don't you."
"Come on guys! Let's head in there!" Jaden pointed to the building connecting to the auditorium, that had a dome like ceiling. "There's some kind of duel action going on in there!" Jaden started running, and the other four boys ran to catch up to him.
"How can you tell?" Dusk called out.
Jesse laughed. "Jay's got a sorta sixth sense about this stuff!" They ran into the building and through a hallway surrounded by glass.
"This way, I'm sure of it." Jaden spoke leading the way. "It's in the air." He smiled breathing in. "Can't you just smell it?"
Syrus snorted. "Maybe if today's pollen count was lower." Jaden turned into a huge arena, with state of the art dueling equipment.
"Are you sure we should be in here?" Riku asked as they followed Jaden in and looked around.
"Too cool!" Jesse exclaimed.
Dusk nodded. "This is the coolest dueling arena I've ever seen."
"No kidding. It's completely state of the art." Syrus pointed out. "I bet it would be amazing to duel in here.
The two Obelisks, who the boys had missed standing on the stage, looked over and noticed that three of the five boys were Slifers. Something that all the occupants didn't notice in the room was Zane walk by and look in. He could tell by the look on the Obelisks faces that they were going to say something. He was going to walk in but hesitated.
A smirk graced his features. Sure, he was intimidating and all, and he'd be able to take them, but why not let someone else do it. Two certain people, who would dish out a far worse punishment. With that thought in mind, he turned direction and walked away.
"Well let's find out!" Jaden smiled.
"You think we're allowed?" Syrus asked.
Jaden nodded. "Of course we are. We're students here and this is our campus right?"
"Wrong." One of Chazz's lackey's spoke. He had glasses. "This is the Blue Obelisk's campus.
The spiky haired boy next to him smirked. "Yeah, and you Slifer Red rejects aren't welcome here, you got that?"
"Hey, we're Obelisk's!" Dusk pointed out, motioning to Jesse.
Jesse nodded. "Yeah, and we want em here."
Spiky haired dude, whom I shall be calling Ken, snickered. "Did you think I care what you want? Check out the crest." He pointed behind them to a crest on the wall of Obelisk the Tormentor.
"This arena is our turf! For those of us who don't ally ourselves with Slifers" Glasses dude spoke. For lack of a better name, and for the lack of me caring about Chazz's lackey's, he shall be named Bob.
"Jackasses." Riku muttered under his breath.
"We're sorry. We were just looking around. But we'll leave now, right Jay?" Syrus spoke, trying to get the brunettes attention.
Jaden grinned. "Nah, not so long as one of you guys agrees to duel me! Then I'll be a guest duelist."
"I say we just kick they're asses." Dusk whispered to Riku who snickered. Jesse grinned.
Bob looked at Jaden and Jesse, and something clicked. "Hey, your those kids."
Ken smiled and looked up to the stands. "Hey Chazz, Dante, the Crystal Beast Duelist, and the applicant that defeated Dr. Crowler are here. Check it out."
Chazz and Dante walked to the railing from the stands, in view of everyone and glared. The two had something in common. They thought of everyone below them as 'unequal' and therefore, were harsh.
"Oh, hi there. My name's Jaden and this is Jesse. And I already met Dante and…Chuzz was it?"
Chazz growled a bit. "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?" Bob defended. "And Dante was the best duelist in all of Tokyo. So he isn't one to take lightly either."
Jesse shrugged and smiled, oblivious to what trouble the next comment he was going to make, could cause. "Well, we're not in Duel Prep School, or Tokyo anymore."
"What?" Dante growled, pissed.
Ken glared at Jesse but looked to Jaden, continuing Bob's rant. "Chazz is going to be the next King of Games, and Dante's going to become ranked the number two duelist in the entire world!"
"Impossible." Jaden spoke.
"Say what?" Ken asked confused.
"You see it's impossible to be the future King of Games, because that's exactly what I'm going to be! And Jesse is going to be the 2nd ranked duelist."
"We'll see Jay." Jesse smirked, challenging the brunette.
Ken and Bob, blinked before laughing, and stopping abruptly. "A Slifer slacker like you as the next King of Games? That'll be the day."
"Can it you two." Chazz barked. "Maybe the new kids right."
"Uh…what do you mean Chazz?" Bob asked confused.
"He did beat Crowler after all." Chazz pointed out, not in a congratulatory manor.
"And that Legendary monster of his." Dante spoke. "Which actually, Alexis and Danni call a child's play toy." He added on as an afterthought.
Chazz took over. "He must have some skill to pull that off."
"You got that right." Jaden smiled.
"Or it could be just luck. I say we test it out right now." Chazz grinned. Dante however cracked his knuckles.
"I actually prefer to find out why they were chosen as Captains." He spoke.
Chazz looked shocked. "They're the new captains?" Chazz asked.
Dante nodded and hopped over the railing, landing in front of Jesse. "Although, I don't know why. They don't look like they can fight they're way out of a paper bag. And as far as I'm concerned, you and I were up for those positions."
"Hey!" Jaden and Jesse spoke shouted.
Jaden grinned. "You know what, your on!"
"Bring it." Jesse grinned waving Dante forward. Dante aimed a punch at Jesse's face, and everything happened so fast.
Danni was kneeling next to Dante, facing the opposite way he was, a nearly invisible thin wire in her hand at one end. The other end was wrapped around Dante's fist, which was restricted from movement, due to Danni holding onto the wire with a sufficient amount of force.
It was safe to say everyone was shocked at the brunettes arrival.
"Well, isn't this a motley crew." They all turned their attention towards the voice. Alexis stood behind them all, arms crossed and looking pointedly at Chazz and Dante.
Chazz grinned. "Hey Alexis." He spoke in a smooth voice. "Have you come to watch me mop the floor with my new friend Jaden over here? It'll be a short duel, but an entertaining one for sure."
"No." Alexis said simply. No other explanation needed.
Danni glanced out of the corner of her eye at Ken and Bob. "Thing 1 and Thing 2, beat it."
"Do you know who we are?" Ken asked, smirking. Alexis laughed and pointed to the black badge that she wore around her neck, and the one Danni wore as an arm band. Danni moved her head slightly, her hair falling slightly so the black Dahlia on her back was visible. Ken and Bob gasped.
"Do you know who we are? Now, get out of here. The Obelisk Welcome Dinner is starting. If we find out your late…well, try not to think of it." Alexis hissed. Ken and Bob turned and ran with their tails between their legs.
Syrus, Riku, Dusk, Jesse, and Jaden all looked impressed, and a bit scared at the same time.
"Now, onto more pressing matters." Danni spoke glancing back at Dante, who went pale. Danni stood up and yanked on the wire once, causing Dante to wince at the pain.
Alexis looked at Chazz and rose an eyebrow. "This is the second time this week, I've caught you bagging on people who aren't in your rank. And I hate to repeat myself."
"Who told you we were here?" Dante asked in a weak voice. Danni quickly looked over to him and glared, silencing him.
"Zane told us." Alexis answered.
Chazz snorted. "Of course, your little lap dog."
Danni rolled her eyes. "You one to talk about dogs Princeton." Chazz glared at Danni, for about…half a second before realizing who it was and stopped. Danni shrugged. "I don't care if you glare at me. Your not my responsibility." Danni turned and looked at Dante. "You on the other hand, are. I'll deal with you later. You better enjoy the time you have now." Danni shook the wire and it fell off of Dante's fist.
Alexis nodded. "Chazz, you too. Your both going to be late. Off to the welcome dinner and pray that we are forgiving." The two nodded, before stalking off embarrassed. As soon as they were gone the two girls turned to look at the boys and smiled, back to their cheerful selves.
"Sorry if Chazz rubbed you the wrong way." Alexis apologized for them. "All us Obelisk's aren't like that. Chazz is just a jerk, especially to Slifers."
"Eh, it's no big deal." Jaden spoke and waved it off. "Those types don't bother me at all. Besides, I could've beat them in one turn!" Jaden cheered enthusiastically.
Syrus shook his head. "We're going to have to work on that over confidence."
"Okay two turns…maybe two and a half."
Alexis and Danni giggled a bit at that. Riku sighed and turned to whisper to Dusk. "I still wish we could've knocked that smirk off of Dante's face."
"I'm with you there." Dusk nodded in agreement.
Danni snickered. "Tell you boys what, if Dante goes out of line again, which he most likely will, I give you all permission to kick his ass." Riku and Dusk looked shocked at being heard, before grinning.
Danni looked to Jesse and then smiled. "Oh and by the way cowboy." Jesse looked at her. "We're even."
Alexis looked at Riku, Syrus, and Jaden and grinned. "The Slifer Welcome Dinner is about to start too."
"Oh right!" Jaden spoke starting to run out. Jesse turned to run too, but Danni grabbed his arm. He was going to ask why, when he remembered he was an Obelisk and grinned sheepishly.
"We gotta book!" Riku shouted. Jaden stopped and Riku and Syrus nearly crashed into his back. Jaden turned to look at Alexis and Danni.
"Hey, thanks Alexis! Thanks Danni! See ya around!" With that the three of Slifers turned and ran away.
"Jaden…" Alexis whispered, testing out his name for the first time. Sure she had known it, but never said it. She looked up and saw Danni, a Cheshire cat grin on her face.
"You like him!" Danni accused. Dusk and Jesse turned to look at Alexis, and saw her face was red. They too grinned.
"Do not!" Alexis defended. She honestly had no idea where her sister would get such outrageous ideas. She had just MET Jaden only a day ago, how would it be possible to like him after such a short time.
"Uh-huh? So, that pink twinge on ya face means nothin'?" Jesse added in, fully ready to tease Alexis about possibly liking his best friend.
Dusk snickered. "And the fact that you answered so quickly, and defensively. That's always a sign of hiding something."
Danni looked from both Obelisk boys and put an arm around each of they're waists and gave them a sort of half hug. "I'm going to love having you two around! Aren't you Alexis?"
Alexis glared at her sister, before starting to run towards her. "Your so going to regret that!"
Danni shrieked and ducked behind Jesse before running around her fired up sister. "Uh-oh! Look at the time! Welcome Dinner's starting! Let's go!" With that Danni sprinted out of the room, with Alexis a second behind, and Jesse and Dusk right on they're heels.
The Slifer's were all sitting at tables, looking at their dinner in confusion. There was a bowl of rice, fish, fruit, and some sort of soup thing. There were collective groans. "THIS is our welcome dinner?" Some kid shouted.
"Forget that, check out our headmaster! It's a cat!" Someone else shouted, pointing to the table at the front near the kitchen, with a fat ginger cat resting on it. A man walked out from the kitchen with long blue hair in a low ponytail, and glasses.
"Hello children, I'm Professor Banner. Now before we eat, I would like you each to tell us something about your-"
"Mm…this stuff's good!" Jaden spoke already stuffing his face. Riku face palmed.
"Jaden…we were supposed to say something about ourselves first." Syrus reminded him.
"Okay. How bout this? I'm starving!" Jaden retorted grabbing a fish with his chopsticks.
Riku shook his head. "Dude…he's walking over here." He whispered to the clueless brunette. "Seriously he's right-"
The three sweat dropped as Professor Banner stood over their table. "Well since some of us don't feel like waiting. Let's just eat!" The three sighed in relief before eating.
"Man, I'm stuffed! That Professor Banner, sure knows how to cook." Jaden complimented. They were back in their room, Syrus pouring tea for all of them.
"You eat anything Jaden." Riku laughed.
"Very true."
Syrus nodded. "Yeah, and Professor Banner seems like a pretty nice guy too." He spoke handing tea to Riku.
"I'm with you there. He's good people." Jaden smiled. "Thanks." Jaden thanked taking his tea from Syrus.
Syrus looked to Chumley, who was turned over on the top bunk. "Hey, Chumley. Do you want some tea?"
"Did I SAY I wanted tea?" He asked rudely.
"Hey he just asked if you wanted some tea." Riku pointed out, annoyed by his attitude.
Jaden nodded. "Yeah, you don't have to snap at him."
Syrus shook his head. "It's okay. I'm used to it."
Chumley snorted. "Yeah, tea makes you wet the bed. Not that I do…or ever did. I mean-WHATEVER! I'm trying to sleep."
There was an electronic beeping noise and Jaden looked to his DAP holder noticing a blinking red light. A small envelope icon was on the screen. Jaden pressed a button and Chazz's face appeared, a video message playing. "Hey Slifer Slacker. Don't think your off the hook. Tonight at midnight it's on. Oh, and why don't we make it interesting. Whoever wins gets the other guys best card." The screen went blank and Jaden grinned.
"Cool, I guess I get to duel at that arena after all!" Jaden grinned.
Chumley looked over his shoulder. "If that's Chazz your dueling, all you've got is trouble."
"Alexis, you going to send out the message for Jaden and Jesse? They need to get the run down of what Captains do before orientation with the new students tomorrow." Nikki asked Alexis. The two of them were in an underground training facility that looked completely technological. There were halls leading to other rooms for meditation, healing, safe rooms, tests, and weapons.
Alexis shrugged and started walking with Nikki, through the halls. They walked over to the largest training room. Ouran, Mimi, and Zane were all inside sparring or using a punching bag. "Where is Dante and Chazz?"
Mimi looked around the room and sighed. "Damn it, are they off harassing Jaden and Jesse again?"
Alexis growled and looked to the four people in front of her. "Nikki , head off to go find Dusk and Rose. Ouran go find Riku and Rika. Mimi and Zane you stay here and prep the holographic training system in this room. We're going to have a midnight training session after I find out where Chazz and Dante are."
A set of large, gold and blue lavishly decorated, double doors opened behind them. Danni walked out shutting the doors behind her, and walking over to her sister. "Alexis, Chazz and Dante are at it again."
She nodded. "I know."
Danni shook her head. "No, you don't. They both challenged Jesse and Jaden to duels in the Obelisk dueling arena at midnight."
Zane blinked. "But not even we are allowed in there after curfew."
"Exactly."
Alexis ran a hand through her hair. "Alright, you guys go do what your supposed to do. Danni, we've got a duel to stop."
"I don't think this is a good idea Jaden." Syrus suggested.
Syrus, Riku, and Jaden were all walking through the hallways to the Obelisk dueling arena. "Good or bad when someone challenges you to a duel, you gotta step up."
"Jay? Ya there?" A very familiar southern voice asked from the other end of the hallway.
Riku looked confused. "Jesse? You're here too?" The four met up at the entrance to the arena. Jesse had on his duel disk.
"Yeah, I got a message from Dante. Somethin' about a duel and the winner gettin' the others best card."
Jaden grinned. "Looks like we're both dueling tonight bro." The four entered the Duel Arena and immediately saw Ken, Bob, Dante, and Chazz waiting on the arena.
"Well, well, well, they showed." Chazz snickered.
"You bet we showed, we weren't going to miss this." Jaden retorted. He grinned as the he walked onto the dueling platform.
"Wait up, Jay." Syrus pleaded.
Riku nodded. "I don't think we should be here."
"Our duel is last, so you just have to be patient." Dante spoke to Jesse who shrugged.
"I'm a patient person."
Ken, Bob, and Dante all jumped off the dueling platform as Chazz and Jaden took their positions. "Time to find out if you beating Dr. Crowler was a fluke or a fact." Chazz spoke in a cocky confident tone.
Jaden grinned. "We're going to learn something else too. Like which one of us is going to become the next King of Games."
Chazz snorted. "Yeah, yeah. Just get ready to get your best card ready for me to take." Jaden smirked.
"You too. Get your game on." The two activated their duel disks.
"Duel!"
Jaden: 4000 LP
Chazz: 4000 LP
Chazz went first. "Alright Slacker, for my first move, I'll summon Reborn Zombie in defense mode, and I'll also place one card facedown."
Reborn Zombie: 1000 ATK/1600 DEF
Jaden grinned. "I guess that's one way to start a duel, but I'm going to go a little bigger. Here we go." Jaden drew a card and grinned. Jaden noticed his Winged Kuriboh in his hand and smiled. "Nice to see you again Winged Kuriboh, maybe I'll use you later, but now I play Polymerization! Fusing Elemental Hero Avian and Burstinatrix, and bringing out Flame Wingman in attack mode.
Flame Wingman: 2100 ATK/1200 DEF
"Told you I'd start big." Jaden grinned.
Chazz smirked. "I was hoping you would."
Jaden pouted in confusion. "And why is that?"
"Because the card I played facedown was a trap, slacker, that you set off." Jaden groaned. "Chthonian Polymer do your stuff!" Chazz shouted as the card flipped over.
"What's Chthonian Polymer's stuff?" Syrus asked.
Riku shrugged as did Jesse, but all movement stopped as a dark aura filled the room. "Looks like Danni was right…you all were here." Alexis spoke walking into the arena, her hands crossed over her chest, looking annoyed.
"Alexis?" Riku asked shocked she was there.
"Answering your question Sy, Chthonian Polymer is a nasty trap that allows you to take control of your opponents fusion monster, by sacrificing one of your own creatures." She then turned to Chazz, who stiffened slightly. "As for you Chazz, this is the third time you've disobeyed orders. I really hate to repeat myself."
"Alexis, it's just a duel." Chazz waved her off, getting a glare out of the blond.
"Don't talk back Chazz."
Riku and Syrus snickered slightly at the face that Chazz was getting reprimanded by Alexis, as if he was a small child who was caught stealing from the cookie jar. Jaden, was going back in forth looking at the two as if it was a tennis match, waiting to finish his duel. Jesse seemed amused, but a little bit wary.
"Uh…do any of ya sense something…evil?" He asked looking around. Ken and Bob had split as soon as Alexis arrived, leaving only Alexis, Chazz, Jaden, Jesse, Syrus, Riku, and Dante in the room. Everyone looked around in confusion before the aura flared up and Dante went ramrod straight and paled considerably.
"Holy shit."
"Oh, you better start praying." In a matter of seconds Dante was lying face first on the ground, his arms tied behind his back with the same wire used on him earlier, Danni holding onto the other end, glaring down at Dante, but still maintaining a calm face. "I shouldn't have to repeat myself, yet you're here."
"Danni?" Jesse asked surprised that she got there so fast. Danni looked up and smiled, her entire disposition changing.
"Hey there Jesse." She spoke kindly. She then turned to glare at both Chazz and Dante, changing back to her annoyed and commanding tone. "Now we told you to leave them alone, you both should have been smart enough to know we wouldn't take this lightly."
Jaden put his hand in the air. "Yes Jaden?" Alexis asked.
"Can I finish my duel?"
Alexis and Danni shared a look. Alexis sighed. "Might as well since you already started it. Jesse and Dante however, you'll get to duel each other another day."
"Aw man." Jesse pouted, while Dante was keeping as quiet as possible, as to not upset Danni, who was kind enough to let him stand up, who still had the wire tied around his wrists.
Chazz grinned. "Alright, now where did I leave off? Oh yeah. I sacrifice Reborn Zombie to take control of your fusion monster."
"Aw my monster." Jaden groaned as his monster was put on Chazz's side of the field where Reborn Zombie was just standing moments ago.
"How'd Chazz know to play that?" Syrus asked confused.
"Your so predictable Jaden. You wouldn't stop talking about your Flame Wingman at the exams so I knew you'd use him soon." Chazz spoke up.
Riku looked to Syrus. "That answer your question?"
"Still, since that Wingman was a special summon, that means I'm allowed to summon another monster during my turn." Jaden spoke looking at his hand. Not that anything in my hand is a match for the Wingman. Jaden thought to himself.
Chazz grinned to himself. That's right Slifer Slacker, play another monster. Don't think I've forgotten about the Wingman's superpower.
"Alright! I summon Elemental Hero Clayman in defense mode! There, all set." Jaden spoke.
Elemental Hero Clayman: 800 ATK/2000 DEF
"Yeah, all set to get knocked down! I summon Chthonian Soldier!"
Chthonian Soldier: 1200 ATK/1400 DEF
And now Flame Wingman! Attack with Skydive Scorcher!" Chazz ordered.
Flame Wingman: 2100 ATK/1200 DEF
Elemental Hero Clayman: 800 ATK/2000 DEF
Clayman was destroyed instantly. "And now, thank to Wingman's superpower, you take damage equal to your destroyed monster's attack points." Chazz spoke smugly. Jaden's eyes widened as his monster was in front of him, and shot fire at him. Jaden groaned in pain. "But don't think for one second I'm done slacker. Chthonian Soldier! Attack with Windstorm Slash!" Chazz ordered as his monster attacked Jaden, who got down on a knees clutching his chest.
Chazz: 4000 LP
Jaden: 2000 LP
"Are you starting to get it slacker? You know your place at the academy here yet?" Chazz gloated.
Danni, walked over to Alexis and the others, Dante being forcibly dragged behind when he slowed, and looked at her sister. "Your going to use this to penalize him later aren't you?" Alexis nodded.
"Oh, definetly."
"Maybe you were something back home, but here in the big leagues your nothing but a pathetic little amateur. Slifer Slime." Chazz continued to rant.
"Maybe you were actually someone with a conscious back home, but here your nothing but an egotistical jackass. Obnoxious Obelisk." Riku mocked Chazz. Alexis turned to Riku in shock, Danni merely raised an eyebrow, while Jesse started laughing, Syrus snickering a bit.
"Nicely done." They both congratulated simultaneously high-fiving him. Riku smirked as Jesse applauded.
"Thanks."
Chazz glared. "I'll end my turn with a facedown card. Go ahead, slacker." Jaden, who was on his knees, his hair covering his eyes started shaking, sounding as if he was crying. "Aw? What's wrong baby? Are you crying?" Chazz asked in a baby voice.
Jaden got louder and it became clear that he was laughing. "This is too fun!" He smiled getting up.
"What?" Chazz asked in shock that he was laughing.
"This is what I came for. Man, I mean the trash talking, the action, it's all so great!" Chazz looked shocked as Jaden took to opportunity to play his cards. "I summon Elemental Hero Sparkman."
Elemental Hero Sparkman: 1600 ATK/1400 DEF
"Alright Sparkman, now! Attack with Static Shockwave!" Jaden ordered.
Chthonian Soldier: 1200 ATK/1400 DEF
Elemental Hero Sparkman: 1600 ATK/1400 DEF
Chazz: 3600 LP
Jaden: 2000 LP
Chazz's monster was destroyed but the sword that Chthonian Soldier wielded flew into the air and struck Jaden, causing him to whimper and clutch his chest.
Chazz: 3600 LP
Jaden: 1600 LP
"Still think it's great slacker? Because, when Chthonian Soldier is destroyed, you receive the same amount of damage to your life points as I do. Difference is you hardly have any to spare! It's only a matter of time Slacker! Your best card is going to be all mine!"
Alexis blinked. "Wait, they're playing for the other's best card?"
Syrus nodded. "Yup, why?"
Danni decided to speak up. "Okay, correct me if I'm wrong but isn't Flame Wingman Jaden's best card?"
Jesse nodded. "Yup, but like Sy said, why ya askin'?"
Alexis explained. "Since Flame Wingman is a fusion monster, and you need Avian and Burstinatrix to fuse them together, even if Chazz wins, he wont be able to even use the card because he doesn't have either one of those cards."
Danni shook her head. "Alexis, your subordinate is an idiot."
Chazz, pretending not to hear the conversation the others were having, had a small pink twinge across his cheeks. Jaden stood up, oblivious to what the others were talking about. "This isn't over yet! I throw down a facedown."
"Throw down whatever you like. My next attack is going to finish off your life points. And that attack's coming right now! Go Flame Wingman!"
"Not so fast! That card I just threw was a trap!" Jaden grinned.
"A trap?" Chazz asked surprised he actually walked into a trap.
"That's Mirror Gate." Riku pointed out.
Alexis nodded. "Then Jaden's still in this duel after all. Mirror Gate makes two monsters in a battle switch which side their on, so now the Wingman is backing Jaden."
Jesse grinned. "Way to go Jay! Nice move!"
Jaden gave Jesse a thumbs up before turning back to the duel. Wingman attacked Sparkman, both Elemental Heroes locking grips. Wingman, being the most powerful, won the clash of the Heroes however.
Flame Wingman: 2100 ATK/1200 DEF
Elemental Hero Sparkman: 1600 ATK/1400 DEF
Chazz: 3100 LP
Jaden: 1600 LP
Jaden grinned. "And, just like you told me a while ago, don't forget about my Wingman's superpower! You take damage equal to the attack points of your destroyed monster!" Chazz was shot with electricity, as he screamed out in pain and his life points took another hit.
Chazz: 1500 LP
Jaden: 1600 LP
"Alright!" Syrus cheered.
Alexis smiled. "Nice moves Jaden!" Danni grinned at Alexis out of the corner of her eye, earning a glare from the blond. "Don't even think about saying it."
"More like lucky moves if you ask me you Slifer School Scum." Chazz insulted. "Alright I activate Chthonian Blast! Now since you destroyed one of my monsters, I can destroy one of yours and you take damage equal to half of it's attack points!" Chazz grinned as Wingman was destroyed.
Chazz: 1500 LP
Jaden: 550 LP
"Now I activate the trap card Call of the Haunted! It let's me summon one monster from my graveyard and summon it back to the field in attack mode. Rise, Infernal Warrior! But he won't be staying for long. I sacrifice him to summon Mefist the Internal General!"
Mefist the Internal General: 1800 ATK/1700 DEF
Jaden grinned. "Not bad."
Chazz rose an eyebrow at the attitude he was taking. "Not bad? Your something else Slacker you know that? Acting all confident. But your lousy monsters won't get you out of this jam."
Dante shook his head. "Dude, you need to stop talking…your going to make the punishment worse for us." He hissed out.
Danni fawned innocence looking at Dante. "What was that?"
"Nothing."
"KURRR." Jaden looked in his hands to see Winged Kuriboh.
Jaden smiled. "I know he's wrong Kuriboh. Because Chazz doesn't know, my monsters and I, we have a bond." Jaden drew a card and grinned. Speaking of…
Danni and Alexis stiffened. "Dammit. Guy's we got company." Alexis hissed in a low voice. "Campus security. We're in deep shit if they catch us."
"What?" Syrus squeaked out.
Chazz and Jaden looked up, putting their hands on their duel disks, so the holograms disappeared effectively ending the duel. "Why? We're all student's here right?" Jaden asked sheepishly.
Riku shook his head. "Did you even READ the rule book?"
"There's a rule book?" Both he and Jesse spoke in unison.
Danni face palmed. Alexis pulled out her DAP. "The rules state no off hour arena duels. Chazz knows that." Chazz blushed embarrassed. "But let me guess, he didn't tell you."
Danni looked to Dante. "You didn't either I'm guessing." Dante grinned sheepishly.
"We got to get out of here!" Riku hissed quietly.
Chazz shrugged. "Well, well, well, looks like you lucked out this time slacker."
"What are you talking about, the match isn't over." Jaden complained.
"Yeah it is. I've seen what I came here to see, you're a sorry duelist. You beating Crowler was just a fluke."
Danni narrowed her eyes. "Do you ever shut the hell up?" She pulled out another wire and flicked it expertly so one end wrapped around Chazz's wrist. "I'll take these two, Alexis get them out of here." She spoke running towards one of the doors.
"I'll come with ya." Jesse whispered running after Danni, who paused for him to catch up before the run out of the room.
"Let's go!" Syrus whispered.
Jaden pouted. "Aw this stinks! I had this guy on the ropes!"
Alexis looked to Riku, Jaden, and Syrus. "Follow me!"
"You sure are stubborn, Jaden." Alexis commented as Riku and Syrus pushed Jaden who was still upset about having to end his duel.
"Only about my dueling."
"Thanks for showing us the back way out." Syrus spoke gratefully.
"Sure. I'm sorry you didn't get to finish your match with Chazz." Alexis spoke apologetically to the brunette Slifer.
"Nah, it's okay. I know just how it would have ended anyway." Jaden smiled.
"Really? No offense but from my point of view it looked like it could have gone either way between you and Chazz when you guys stopped."
Jaden smirked. "No way! Not after I drew this!" Jaden flipped over the card in his hand showing Monster Reborn. "With Monster Reborn I would have summoned Flame Wingman from the graveyard and would've attacked. Because of his attack points and superpower, I would have won easy." Jaden smirked. "Well, see ya."
Alexis smiled and shook her head, grabbing his shoulder. "No you don't. You three have to come with me."
"What, why?" Riku asked in confusion.
Alexis grinned. "Because of those black flowers on the back of your uniform. You guys are going to get a sneak peek at tomorrow's training session for the Black Circles. And…I figured you'd want to see what Danni and I did to Dante and Chazz."
"I'm in." Riku said automatically. Syrus looked a bit hesitant.
"But won't our curfew-"
Alexis smirked. "Black Circles don't have curfews. The only exception is no arena dueling. Chazz tore up the dueling arena last time, because his temper got the best of him, so we lost that privilege."
Jaden looked thoughtful. "Alright! Let's do this! So, where are we going?"
Alexis grinned, pointing back into the building. "The roof."
"The roof? Why the roof?" Riku asked in confusion. Alexis laughed and led the way back into the building and up the numerous flights of stairs.
"You know, you boys should relax."
Syrus thought of something. "Wait, what are you going to do to Chazz and Dante?"
At that Alexis's grin turned wicked. "Well, they disobeyed orders, and unfortunately for Dante, interrupted Danni's meditation."
"Meaning what?" Jaden asked confused. Alexis led the boys up to the roof and walking towards the center before stopping to answer.
"Oh trust me, you'll see." She touched one of the support beams that stuck out of the building for decoration, and it glowed white. Almost immediately, a circle of the roof that Alexis was stepping on, turned white, with a blue transparent pad hovering in front of her, as if a control panel.
Riku's jaw dropped, Syrus had jumped behind Jaden in fright, and the Slifer in question looked as if he had never seen anything cooler in his life, which was probably a correct guess. Alexis looked at them in expectance. "You boys coming or what?"
Jaden's grin widened as he walked over to Alexis, and stood on the glowing white ground. "C'mon you guys!" Jaden spoke up, when he noticed Riku and Syrus hadn't moved.
Riku, Syrus now clinging onto him, partially dragged the boy with him onto the floor as Alexis smirked. "Ah, it's always fun watching the newbie's reactions." She tapped her finger on the control panel and it immediately shot down, as if it was an elevator. Syrus shrieked at the sudden movement while Jaden looked about ready to jump up and down like a child. Riku was more content with studying his surroundings, which happened to be them going completely through the floors they just passed by. Alexis saw their faces and felt compelled to explain. "This is an elevator which only responds to the handprint of members of the Black Circles. It contains technology which allows it, and all inside it, to become intangible and pass through all of the floors of the Academy so we can get to our learning zone." The elevator passed through the bottom floor of the Academy and into the same training facility that Alexis had just come from.
"Oh my god, this is awesome! It's like the bat cave! Except for the bat's." Jaden grinned from ear to ear. Riku snorted.
"Lovely observation. But, who built all of this?" The elevator stopped at the floor of the training facility. Alexis motioned for the boys to follow her, and as they stepped up the elevator it shot back up with lightening speed.
"We did. Well, to be more specific, your relatives and friends who attend this school, Chazz, Dante, our brothers, and the two of us." She spoke speaking about her and her sister. "Ouran, Nikki, Mimi, Dante, Chazz, Danni and I are all the same year students as you are. We simply came here one year earlier to build this place and prepare it for the Black Circles. Cool huh?" As she spoke, they walked by numerous rooms, some for healing, relaxing, sparring, meditating, talking, just about anything and everything.
"No doubt. This place is awesome." Jaden grinned as he kept pace with the blond. Syrus looked slightly nervous and Riku seemed to be digesting all the information in.
"Why so many rooms?" Riku asked taking note of all the rooms, and also noticing that there seemed to be another floor beneath the one they were standing on. "I thought this was the last floor."
Alexis tossed an approving look over her shoulder. "Very perceptive. All away team members often use the option to stay here after long missions," Alexis paused, "But, back to business, we'll give you the grand tour tomorrow with all the others, for right now your going to see Chazz and Dante get punished for their actions. Seem fair?"
Riku grinned wickedly. "Very."
"Oh, and Jaden your going to be the Captain of the Black Iris's. It pretty much means you guide them and teach them everything they need to know to use their abilities to their fullest." All three of the boys stiffened at that, causing Alexis to laugh. "Aw, how cute. You boys still don't even realize we know you all have abilities. What did you think all of this was for?" She asked motioning around her.
Neither of the three answered, instead they all grinned sheepishly. She rolled her eyes. "Anyways, Jaden I'm going to be working with you to get you adjusted to the Captain's position, and to being commander of an away team."
"What's an away team?" Syrus asked. Alexis shook her head.
"All in good time Sy, all in good time. Now, here we are." She stopped outside of a large room with it's door closed. "The simulation training room." She placed her hand on the scanner by the door, it beeped for a few seconds, before the doors slid open. Alexis waved the boys ahead.
Once inside they saw that the room was approximately the size of half a football field, with metal paneling covering everywhere. Inside, were an awestruck Rika, Rose, and Dusk. Ouran stood by his sister, along with Jesse, Nikki wandering nearby the newbies. Mimi was laughing with Zane while pointing to Chazz and Dante, who were a few feet away from them lookin nervous, still tied up with the wire which was now in Zane's hands. Danni was leaning quietly against one of the walls, here eyes closed and a calm look of indifference on her face.
"Hey guys." Alexis greeted walking in. Riku immediately went over to his siblings, Syrus wandered to stand near Mimi and Zane, and Jaden just settled for looking around the room.
"This place is so cool!"
Alexis rolled her eyes as all of the people in the room came to the center, excluding Danni. "So, were they any trouble?"
Zane, smirking, handed the wires over to Alexis. "None whatsoever. They didn't make a peep."
Dante, looking horribly frightened looked at the group. "Okay, what did we interrupt you and Danni doing?" His voice was filled with fear and a pinch of hope.
Alexis shrugged nonchalantly. "Me? I wasn't doing anything. Danni? She was meditating." Dante's eyes went wide, and his face filled with dread.
"Holy crap I'm dead. Do you think the whole 'knew you and stuck with you for years' thing would work to lighten the punishment?"
Mimi grinned evilly and looked over at Danni, who hadn't moved. "Based on the way she looks now? Not at all."
"Wait, I don't get what's so important about Danni meditatin'?" Jesse asked in confusion. "And why do ya both seem afraid of her and Alexis?" He motioned to Chazz and Dante.
Ouran laughed and messed up his brother's hair. "Oh Jesse, so naïve."
Riku and Rika both raised an eyebrow. "Huh? Why is he naïve?" They asked in unison.
Nikki laughed smiling at the twins and Jesse. "Ouran, they're new, you can't expect them to know why Danni and Alexis are feared."
Alexis snickered and Danni just opened her eyes and smirked slightly before closing her eyes again. Zane grinned. "Trust me, you'll all find out why in just a second."
Alexis looked to Zane, in a serious manner. "Which simulation did you set up for me?"
"Desert simulation."
Alexis thought about it. "Okay, cool no way to escape. I like it."
Chazz gulped. "Can we think about this for a second?"
"No."
Mimi looked over to Danni and smiled. "I set it to your favorite one Danni! Woods simulation." Danni looked up and smiled. Dante looked paler.
"Danni, come on! You've known me since you were a kid! Can you cut me a little slack this one time?"
Danni rose an eyebrow. "I cut you some slack when you broke the rules the first time, and I defended you when you took out half of the Obelisk dorm."
"Half the dorm?" Syrus asked in awe.
Mimi nodded. "It's a long story."
"Take it like a man." Ouran snickered.
Jaden looked confused, as did all the other's who were new to the school. Dusk looked up as if realizing something. "What, you guys are going to fight each other?"
Alexis clapped her hands. "Ding, ding, ding, give the boy a prize."
Rose looked shocked. "What? Why would you fight each other?"
"When you have powers, taking away TV privileges doesn't mean as much." Danni spoke sarcastically. "This is how we get punishments done. Okay, so which one's first?"
Chazz and Dante didn't speak. "Coin toss it is." Mimi pulled out a coin grinning broadly.
Dante shook his head. "Your enjoying this way to much."
Zane took the coin from Mimi and held it in his hands. "Alexis, call it."
"Tails." She spoke simply. Zane tossed the coin up in the air and caught it, covering it with his hand. He lifted his hand up and smiled.
"Tails it is. Chazz and Alexis are up first."
Alexis grinned and Chazz gulped. Zane handed Chazz's wire to Alexis while dragging along Dante. Ouran whistled. "Okay, everyone follow me in single file! Well, if you don't want to get caught in the crossfire that is." Riku and Riku shared a glance before jumping quickly behind their brother, knowing full well he wasn't joking. Rika, who had gotten much closer to Rose throughout the day, waved her forward. Rose grabbed Dusk, who looked skeptically and got in the line. Nikki, Syrus, Zane, Dante, and Mimi got behind them. Danni grabbed both Jaden and Jesse's hands and pulled them behind her, seeing as they were still looking around.
"Let's go you two. You don't want to get in the middle of any fights down here." She advised in a calm tone.
"It can't be that bad." Jaden said, ever the optimist. They followed behind as Ouran led them out of the simulation room and into a room nearby, which turned out to be a viewing room into the simulation room, for spectators. Zane already set up the desert simulation as Danni looked from Jaden, to all the new applicants to the school. "You don't know what their powers are, do you?" Everyone shook their head. "Your about to find out."
Inside of the simulation room Alexis had taken the wire off of Chazz's wrist and coiled it up neatly. "Danni would appreciate having this back." She spoke putting it in her pocket. "Now, you have first shot. This shouldn't take too long."
Chazz looked a bit apprehensive. "Are you sure that we have to do this? I mean, can't you just let me off with a warning?"
Alexis glared at him. "I've given you warnings. You ignored them. I suggest you use your powers Chazz. Or else even Nurse Fontaine won't be able to put you back together."
Chazz sighed and shook his head. He knew she wouldn't cause him much harm, but he would rather hang himself before he would underestimate the blond haired girl in front of him. That would land him in a world of pain worse than anything he could imagine. "Fine, we're doing it your way." Chazz's hands started twitching. His back arched and he fell onto all fours, panting and breathing heavily. His face and entire body contorted as fur started covering his body.
"Uh…is anyone else frightened at all by this?" Rose asked inching backwards slowly.
"Whoa…his entire body is changing." Riku spoke in a studying fashion. Dusk nodded walking over to him. Sickening cracks resonated throughout the simulation room.
"His bones are breaking into place. That must be excruciatingly painful."
"Used to be, he transformed so many times he barely feels it anymore." Mimi waved it off.
"What's he transforming into though?" Rika asked in fear a bit, standing behind Ouran and Jesse.
"What? You can't tell?" Zane asked.
Rika shook her head. "Not really."
Chazz started shaking as his mouth stretched out into a muzzle. Nikki looked to the frightened newbies, and noticed that Jaden was grinning. "I think Jaden knows what it is."
Jaden nodded. "No doubt. He's turning into a werewolf."
Chazz started snarling, saliva dripping from his jaw as he finished his transformation. His body was now that of a large wolf on four legs, as tall as a car. He growled and snapped his jaws at Alexis.
"Cool! An actual werewolf!" Jesse grinned. Rika had moved farther behind both Ouran and Jesse. Ouran patted her head in a reassuring way.
"This isn't going to take long. Dante, excited for your fight." Mimi snickered. Dante turned to look at her and shrugged.
"Not something I can't handle. But if I get hurt, you can just kiss me better." Mimi looked furious, but before she could speak Danni beat her to it.
"Dante, I realize that you feel the need to seem confident and capable of winning in front of Mimi because of your infatuation with her, but if you keep insulting my fighting skills in the process by underestimating me, I will take you down…slowly and painfully."
Dante winced a bit, knowing that she wasn't kidding. Danni turned and walked out of the room. Ouran looked sympathetic. "Dante…your going to get your ass handed to you."
"Where'd she go?" Jesse asked confused.
"Getting her fighting stuff." Nikki snickered at Dante's expense.
"But her sister's fight-"
"Will be over in a second." Zane cut in pointing forward. He pressed a button activating the microphone. "Alright you guys. Your fight starts in 5...4...3...2...1...GO!"
Chazz used his hind legs to propel himself at Alexis, who stood there watching him. He opened his jaws ready to take a bite out of her. Alexis rolled her eyes and stepped out of the way easily. Chazz skidded across the sand created by the desert simulation and whirled around as quickly as possible. Alexis shook her head in disappointment. "I've told you numerous times already, that won't work on me." Chazz started to charge at her again. Alexis sighed again but instead of stepping out of the way reeled her fist back and punched Chazz in the muzzle, causing him to fly backwards with incredible speed into the wall, a banging noise accompanying, as he slid to the ground, changing back into his human form.
Everyone who was new to the school dropped their jaws. "H-How did she…" Rose asked completely shocked at the amount of sheer force Alexis had.
"She's got super strength, among other things." Ouran informed the newbies.
"What other things?" Dusk asked.
"You'll see."
"It's my turn, I'm assuming." Danni asked. She came back, the only difference was she was barefoot and had some sort of black leg warmers, black elbow length arm warmers that looked a tad big, and a pouch tied around her waist.
Zane nodded and pressed the microphone button again. "Alright Lexi, you can just bring Chazz in here and I'll bring him up to Fontaine. It's Danni's turn now." Alexis nodded grabbing Chazz and throwing him over her shoulder, walking out of the simulation room.
Danni grabbed Dante's wire and yanked him towards the door just as Alexis was entering. She handed her sister the wire that was in her pocket and handed Chazz over to Zane who took him out of the room towards the elevator. "Good luck Dante." Mimi spoke sarcastically.
Dante winced before he was completely pulled out of the room. Alexis shook her head. "Dante should know not to insult her."
Rika stepped out form behind Ouran. "Wow, it's awesome that you have super strength Alexis." She complimented. Alexis turned towards her and smiled.
"Thanks. Talk about girl power huh? Anyways, you'll all get the run-down of our powers sometime this week."
Dante was thrown into the simulation room by Danni, who flicked the wire on his wrist causing it to untie and return back to her coiled up within a second. Alexis changed the simulation to the woods and grinned. "Alright guys, in 5...4...3...2...1...GO!"
Automatically Dante removed a glove that was covering his right hand, revealing a green ring on his ring finger. He extended his hand and a green blast fired from the ring. Danni simply cart wheeled out off the way as Dante continued firing blasts. Danni smiled as she did a one handed cartwheel, using her left hand to reach into the pouch on her waist, revealing a knife, and throwing it with expert skill and speed at the green haired teen in front of her.
Dante's eyes widened as he used his ring to create a green shield, deflecting the knife. Dante prepared to fire another shot, when he looked up and say Danni wasn't anywhere in sight. The sound of leaves rustling got his attention and he winced realizing that Danni had jumped into the trees.
"Well, looks like this fight is over." Ouran said yawning. "And I was hoping it would be entertaining."
"What?" Riku asked looking to his elder brother.
"Dante lost sight of Danni."
Dusk crossed his arm and looked back into the simulation room. "I don't see how that means it's over."
Nikki stepped in. "When it comes to Alexis and Danni, you have only one hope against either of them. For Alexis, you've got to be completely indestructible and be able to throw a damn good punch. For Danni, if she feels pity, never lose sight of her."
As Nikki spoke four knives flew out of the tree in front of Dante. He quickly formed a shield to deflect the knives and fired a blast into the tree. "I wasn't in that tree." Dante stiffened as he turned his head slightly to see Danni standing behind him with a knife at his throat.
"H-How'd she?" Jaden asked shocked, seeing as she had got behind Dante with lightening speed.
Zane, who had walked back in grinned. "We're a lot stronger than we all look. You'll find that here you can almost never trust your eyes, but instincts. Normal people miss the little clues on what happens in the real world pointing to our existence. Here? We don't cover our eyes and pretend we're not different, we open our arms to those like us."
Alexis smiled and leaned against the door staring at all the new students to the school. "You guys…welcome to Duel Academy."
