Kudos to AxJfan, KiaraFay, nightingale101, lunarlight19, Firehedgehog, Shinigami-chan, anime shadow alpha, TrailAndError123456, Tyra Kinami and Haruhibunny for reviewing Chapter One! Those were more reviews than I was expecting. And to top it all off, all of your reviews were positive!

AN: Sorry about the lack of an update. My brother left to collage (taking his laptop with him) and so I've had to use the computer at school, which has banned youtube. And since I needed to reference episode 106 for this chapter, I wasn't able to update until he got home yesterday. So, GOMEN-NASAI! Enjoy the chapter everyone!!

Elements of the Duelists

Last time:"It was a dream," he said, more to himself than the monster spirit. "Just a dream, it will never happen again. I'll make sure of that."

Chapter Two: Light

Kuriboh seemed comforted by Jaden's words, for he began cooing (1) happily, circling Jaden's head.

"You okay?" Jaden jumped upright, looking for the source of the unfamiliar voice. "Sorry to startle you. I heard someone yell and went to investigate."

The speaker was a boy, roughly the same age as Jaden. He had deep blue hair and bright green eyes. He wore black pants tucked into brown and white boots. He also wore a long-sleeved white shirt and a white and blue sleeveless jacket very similar to the one Jaden wore.

The most unusual thing about him though, was the cat-like creature on his shoulder. Its fur was purple and white, and two sets of long ears were perched on the sides of its small head. The crystals on the end of its tail, forehead, and the creature's cat-like eyes were all bright red.

If Jaden hadn't known any better, he would have thought the creature was a digimon. Though with the winged, furry and brown creature hovering over his shoulder, he knew it wasn't a Digital Monster but a Duel Monster.

Jaden relaxed, unclenching the fist he had unconsciously formed. "That was me. I fell asleep up here and had a really nasty dream."

The other boy's eyebrows raised, and Jaden knew he was going to ask about the dream. So he quickly changed the subject. "Am I still dreaming or is that a monster spirit?" He asked, indicating the semi-transparent creature on the boy's shoulder.

The boy looked slightly startled, but then smiled and said, "Oh this is my pal Ruby Carbuncle. I just call her Ruby though."

Winged Kuriboh flew forwards, trying to get a better look at the boy and 'Ruby'.

"I'm Jaden and that's Winged Kuriboh. I've never seen you around here before. Are you a freshman?"

The other blinked for a moment, then smiled. "Pleasure to meet ya'll. It's good to know that I'm not the only one around here that can see spirits."

He stuck out his hand, and Jaden grabbed it. A familiar jolt shot up his arm, causing Jaden's eyes to widen slightly. "I'm not really a freshman, I transferred here. Name's Jesse, Jesse An-"

"JADEN!" A familiar voice rang across the rooftop as a spiky blue head appeared. There dressed in the traditional Ra-Yellow uniform, was Syrus Trusedale. "Come on Jaden, or you'll be late for the Prep Rally!"

Close behind Syrus, in tan army pants, combat boots, sleeveless Ra-Yellow jacket, and a green shirt, was Tyranno Hassleberry. He had a deep tan, dark brown eyes, and black dreadlocks that were held out of his face by a yellow bandana styled much like a dinosaur head.

Jaden let go of Jesse's hand, turned towards his friends, and scratched the back of his head. "That was today?"

"It's right now!" Syrus yelped.

"Come on Sarge, forward march!" Hassleberry boomed.

"Coming, coming." He then turned towards Jesse, "Well, I'd better get going. See you around."

He started to run off the roof, "Come on Kuriboh!" The small spirit bobbed after the boy.

Jesse watched as he joined up with his friends.

With a small smile on his face, he saw the smaller boy say something to Jaden. He rubbed the back of his head again, laughed and then the three rushed down the stairs.

"Jaden Yuki, huh?" he mused, scratching behind Ruby Carbuncle's ears. "I'd like to get to know him. How 'bout you girl?"

Ruby merely purred in response.

The three arrived at the auditorium just in time.

Jaden and Hassleberry sat in the Slifer Red area, just in front of Chazz Princeton. Syrus sat with Bastion Misawa (2) with the Ra Yellows. While in the Obelisk Blue section, the Rhodes siblings, Atticus and Alexis, sat. In the back sat Aster Phoenix, a famous pro duelist, looking extremely put out.

"Alright, settle down! As you know it is the start of a brand new year. Does anyone remember their summer break? 'Because I don't. But I digress. . ."

As Chancellor Sheppard spoke, Hassleberry turned to Chazz. "Hey Princeton, This section is for the Red barracks."

"Oh yeah, then what are you doing here Huckleberry? 'Cause last I checked, you were a Ra Yellow-belly. So what gives you the right to sit here?" Chazz, correction, THE Chazz glared at Hassleberry.

Hassleberry chuckled, "Well for one, people actually like me."

"Attencion!" yelled Vice-Chancellor Bonaparte. "Reciting the Academy pledge if our very own Blair Flannigan."

And with that Blair walked out and stood in front of the teachers, her back to the students.

"We the students of duel academy solemnly promise to abide by the academy regulations. To resolve all conflicts by dueling. To show respect to our professors and our fellow peers. Unless they try to take over the world."

And with that she walked away, but not with out winking at Jaden first. That earned herself a glare from a certain Obelisk.

"Now then, as I said, with each new year comes modification and improvement. Here at Duel Academy we strive for perfection. So to keep each one of you at the top of your game, we have invited a few new students to join you. In fact they represent the top students from each of our four Duel Academy Worldwide branches."

"Duel Academy has worldwide branches?" questioned Hassleberry. "You learn something new everyday."

"This rules! I gotta get my game on!" Jaden said, smiling.

"Time for introductions, visiting us all the way from East Academy, Izumi Orimoto!" (3) As the Chancellor made his introduction, a girl walked out. She wore a light purple skirt, knee-high dark purple boots, and a white shirt. Over the shirt was a purple version of the Duel Academy jackets. She had long blond hair and bright blue-green eyes.

She received many whistles and cheers. Jaden was staring at her for a moment, and then looked away. "Stay calm Jaden there are plenty of Orimotos. It doesn't mean it's her."

"What are you mumbling about Slacker?"

"Nothing, Chazz, nothing."

"And from West Academy is Kouji Minamoto!" (4)

Thud

"What?" Jaden yelped.

Kouji looked straight at Jaden who was picking himself off the floor, and rubbing his head. (5) "Hey Gogglehead, long time no see. . ."

To be continued.

(1) that is what he does . . . right?

(2) In this he didn't get stuck in another dimension, he just laid low for the end of the year. Most likely from embarrassment…I mean the guy ran across the school naked for crying out loud!

(3) For those of you who are fans of Adrian (though I doubt there are many) he will not be in this story. Our 'Princess of the Summer Breeze' shall be taking his place.

(4) Sorry all Axel fans, he won't be here either.

(5) Jaden fell out of his chair and hit his head. Very painful, I've done it.

AN: Well what did you all think? Please don't be too brutal.

For those of you who nothing about Digimon Frontier, here is the show in a nutshell. One day in Tokyo, a bunch of kids get mysterious messages on their cell phones instructing them to go to Shibuya station and get on a train. Enter Takuya Kanbara, a kid without a whole lot upstairs, he follows the message and ends up meeting Kouji on the elevator (after hitting his head a few times) and Zoë, Tommy and JP on the train. They arrive at Flame Terminal, where they meet Bokomon and Neemon. They learn of the Ten Legendary Spirits, the spirits of Flame, Light, Darkness, Wood, Earth, Thunder, Water, Wind, Ice, and Steel. Now with each of them possessing a spirit, they have to save the Digital World from the Ultimate Evil, Lucemon!

So tell me this readers, which spirit would you give to what GX character? I want to know is my thinking will seem really out of the water.

Anyways, don't forget to review, and I'll try my best to update ASAP!
