"All duelist, please exit the ship. We have docked on Duel Academy Island. Please have a good year." the voice from the loud-speaker announced.
"Alright," I said, "let's get this show on the road."
"You sure are confident." Scarlet said, as she walked behind me.
"Any reason I shouldn't?"
"This is your first year Eli. You can't expect to be the best, just like that."
"Well, these people haven't met me yet." I grinned.
We walked down the ramp of the ship and onto the dock. 'Whoa', was all I could think. Hundreds of people, most with duel disks, were milling around on the dock.
"Where do we go?" I asked Scarlet.
We go to the Duel Arena. They're having a welcome ceremony for all the newbie students." She poked me in the chest, "Like you."
"Well then, let's go."
I hadn't even fully turned around, before I bumped into someone. The crash sent me falling onto my back.
"What the heck." I groaned sitting up, "Who?"
"Sorry man, my bad." A guys voice apologized.
I shook my head clear and looked up to see a boy standing over me. The guy looked about fifteen and had medium length black hair with light tanned skin. He wore a white t-shirt and blue jeans. He also wore a brow vest over his shirt, cowboy boots, and a pair of dog tags hung from his neck.
"You alright?" he asked holding out a hand to help me up.
I grabbed it and he pulled me to my feet. Before I could answer, Scarlet jumped in between us.
"I'm so sorry for my brother's actions." she said looking straight at the guy.
"It's no problem really," he said, "I'm Dutch Johnson."
"So nice to meet you." Scarlet batted her eye lashes. "My name is Scarlet Reed."
Wait was she...ohh. I had almost forgotten Scarlet had a bad habit of flirting with guys.
"And I'm Eli, " I said leaning out from behind Scarlet, "Sorry for bumping into you."
"No no man, its my fault." he had a mild southern accent. "I was to busy looking at my deck and wasn't watching were I was going."
"So, is this your first year?" Scarlet asked, still looking dreamily at Dutch.
"Sure is, my older brothers came here, so I decided to do it to."
"Do you need any help or directions?"
"Sure, can you tell me where the Slifer Red dorm is?"
"Oh." Scarlet frowned, "you're a Slifer Red?"
"Ya, why?"
"No reason, the Slifer dorm is over my the cliff." She pointed. "Come on Eli, we have to go to the welcome ceremony."
She grabbed my arm and hurried off, with me dragging behind.

I stood there a moment watching the girl named Scarlet, half drag her brother away. Was it something I said? I dismissed the thought from my mind and headed towards the Slifer Dorm.
After about thirty minutes of walking through the woods, the sight of a building came into view. But...that couldn't be the Slifer Red dorm. The place looked like a tool shed. I looked down at the piece of paper in my hand that held my student information.
Dutch T. Johnson
Age: 16 SX: M Dorm: Slifer Red Room: 10
Mr. Johnson, we would like to welcome you to Duel Academy. At this school, your skills as a duelist will become even better through our wonderful teaching. I hope you have a wonderful year.
Chancellor Shepherd
I closed the letter and scanned the buildings doors. After going down the top row of door, I saw the faded ten on the outside of a door. I walked up the stairs to the second floor and went down to Door 10.
Well here goes nothing. I grabbed the doorknob and walked inside. The first thing I noticed was how small it was, the place was about the size of a one person bed room. A dresser and bunk beds were the only furniture in the room.
'Not so bad.' I thought, 'As long as I don't have more than one roommate.'
I dropped my bag at the door and walked over to the bed. I turned around and flopped down on it. But something was wrong.
"Get off of me!" a voice yelled.
What the..?
I jumped off the bed and turned around. Out from under the cover a guy appeared. He had black messy hair with green highlights, blue eyes, and light tanned skin; he looked like he had just woken up.
"Sorry man." I said, "I didn't know you were there."
The guy groaned and pulled his pillow over his head. "Who are you anyway?" he asked.
"I'm Dutch Johnson, your new roommate."
"Hate to tell you this, but you're in the Slifer dorm."
"Is that a bad thing?"
"Ha," he laughed, putting the pillow off his face, "Hey Hilbert, he doesn't know about us Slifer Reds."
I looked up to the top bunk and saw another guy peer over the side. He had brown hair and strange red eyes.
"What?" he asked with a mild Greek accent, "What did you say Xavier?"
"Our new roommate doesn't know how bad we Slifers have it." the guy who must have been Xavier said. He rolled out of bed and stood up. "Whats your name again?"
"Dutch Johnson." I said.
"I'm Xavier Holloway and that's Hilbert Glory." He pointed to the guy up on the top bunk.
"Hey." He said as he got up, "What time it?"
I looked down at my wrist watch. " 1:00 p.m."
"Crap!" both Xavier and Dutch yelled, jumping out of bed, "The welcome ceremony starts in fifteen minutes."
They were already fully dressed, with the exception of their Slifer Red jackets and shoes. They scrambled to pull their shoes on, and then their jackets.
"Come on Dutch," Hilbert said heading for the door, "We have to go."
I didn't have much choice, so I headed after them.

"Welcome students to a new year at Duel Academy!"
After Scarlet half dragged me to the ceremony, she went off to sit with her friends while I sat with some of the other Ra Yellow students.
"This academy specializes in Duel Monsters," Chancellor Shepherd continued, "we will teach you everything that we know, so that can reach your full potential as a duelist. But this year will have something new, something different. For years we have had three dorms, Slifer Red, Ra Yellow, and Obelisk Blue. But now we have opened a new dorm for duelist who have already graduated. This new dorm is called Exodia Gold, now please welcome back our past students.
A large mass of people walked up on stage, each one wearing a gold-colored uniform. There were so many of them, it was hard to sort them out.
"Now its time for our starting match of the year." the Chancellor announced, "two students will be randomly chosen to take part in this match. Please look up at the big screen."
We looked at the big screen as it began shuffling students.
"And our first student is," Chancellor Shepherd said. The picture froze and the image of the guy from the docks appeared.
"Dutch Johnson!"
Man what a twist of fate.
"And the second student is," the image froze... crap.
"Eli Reed!"
