A/N: the people have spoken. They want this story and so shall it be.
Disclaimer: I do not own Yugioh GX or Ronin Warriors. I would like to say this is my way to comemorate the Ronin Warriors (Yoroiden Samurai Troopers) 20th anniversery. Congratulations!
ABC = scene breaks (I used the lyrics from the opening theme.)
Chapter 1
Duel Academy, a school owned by the Kaiba Corporation with the primary focus of shaping young adults into the pro duelists of tomorrow. At first glance, it seems like a normal school. As long as you overlook that over the past two years, a small band of people tried to resurrect 3 powerful demons and a possessed psychic brainwashed over half the student body to serve the cause of an extraterrestrial force hell-bent on destroying everything it comes in contact with.

Chancellor's office
A man stood before a large desk. He was tall about 6' 4", slicked back dirty blond hair and piercing green eyes. He was garbed in a dark gray business suit with a black tie. One could tell he was obviously a playboy.
"Well, I must thank you again for your generous donation, Mr. Avalon," said Sheppard.
"The pleasure was all mine." The man said in a British accent. "Besides, I needed to make some more room for my dear Lancelot."
"Lancelot?"
"Yes, he is my precious pet grizzly bear."
"You have a bear as a pet?"
"Of course, don't you?"
Shepard sweatdropped and shook his head "no". As Mr. Avalon left Sheppard couldn't help but think 'Rich people are weird. Who has a pet bear?!'

In the halls
Alexis, Mindy and Jazz were walking down the hall to their next class.
"I heard that Art P. Avalon is visiting here," said Jazz.
"Who's he?" asked Mindy
"He's this billionaire businessman from England. Word has it that he's a nut on Arthurian legend."
"Arthurian? What does that mean?"
"Arthurian is all the tales and mythology about King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table," said Alexis.
"Oh"
As the three turned the corner, they were so preoccupied with their gossip that they failed to notice the man coming from the other side. As usual result they crashed into each other, knocking Alexis down.
"I'm terribly sorry, I didn't see you there. Here, let me help you up," said the man, offering his hand to Alexis.
"Thanks" Alexis accepted the hand and was lifted to her feet. The man looked at Alexis and let out an inaudible gasp.
'Can it be? Is it possible that it's her?'
"(squeal) OHMYGOSHOHMYGOSHOHMYGOSH, It's him Alexis! That's Mr. Avalon!" Jasmine went into gaga mode.
"Wow, he's so dreamy!" Mindy followed suit.
Avalon turned from Alexis to the two swooning girls then back to the former.
"So, your name is Alexis? A fine name for such a beautiful young lady," Avalon said in a suave manner and kissed Alexis on the hand. Alexis gave a slight blush at the man's gesture and compliment.
"Oh, um thank you, sir."
"Please call me Arty."
"Hey Lex!" a boy's voice called out.
The small group turned to the source of the voice. It was Jaden Yuki, the top duelist on campus.
"Oh hey Jaden."
"How's it going?" Jaden then notices the other person with them. "Hi there, how ya doin'?"
"Jaden this is Mr. Avalon. He's visiting the Academy," said Alexis.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!"
"That sounded like Syrus," said Jaden.
The said boy came running down the hall like he had the devil on his heels.
"J-J-JA-JADEN, THERE'S A T-TI A TI-T-T-T-T-TI-T-TI-TI!" Syrus
"Whoa, whoa, whoa, Sy, Sy calm down. Take a deep breath."
Syrus did as he was told. Big inhale then exhaled
"THERE'S A TIGER!"
"A tiger?"
As if on cue, a large white tiger leaped at the group. It let out a loud roar and tackled Jaden to the ground. Everyone turned away so they wouldn't see their friend mauled by this 300-pound animal. However, they started to hear laughter rather than screams for help. They turned their eyes back to see the tiger was licking him affectionately.
"Hahahahahahaha, come on! Cut it out! That tickles! Hahaha! Down boy! Heel! Sit!"
The tiger backed off to give Jaden some air. The others were, to say the least, stunned.
"Aw man, it's good to see ya, boy. How've you been?" Jaden scratched the tiger behind the ears.
"Uh Jaden?" Jazz started. "How is it you're friends with a tiger? Is this your pet or something?"
Jaden only responded with a "yeah".
"You have a pet tiger? How in the hell do you have a pet tiger?"
"It's a long story, I'll tell you later."
"How did he get here?"
"There were reports of some odd sounds coming from the hold of the ship. I bet he must have stowed away." Avalon deduced.
"Well, White Blaze always was pretty smart."
"White Blaze?"
"Yeah, that's his name," Jaden said pointing at the tiger. Jaden then noticed that almost everybody was a little nervous of his large feline friend. The only one who wasn't was Avalon.
"You can pet him. He won't bite. Think of him as a regular house cat." Jaden looked at White Blaze and added "Only a little bigger."
Alexis was the first to approach. She slowly moved her hand to the top of the tiger's head. When she reached the spot, she slowly and gently stroked the beast's head. In response, White Blaze let out a purr. Alexis took this as a sign that he meant no harm and knelt down to pet him some more. Soon Mindy and Jazz joined their friend. Syrus stayed back, still a little nervous around the tiger.
"I heard a noise, is everything alright out here?" Sheppard voice came from down the hall. When he reached the group he was stunned at what he found almost everybody was gathered around a white tiger. The strangest part was they didn't seem afraid of it.
"Can someone explain what's going on here?"
Nani o mesasebaii (What should I aim for)
Chancellor's office
"Hehehehe, friendly fellow, isn't he?" Sheppard was scratching White Blaze behind the ear, earning a purr from said tiger.
"So Jaden, this big fellow is your pet?"
"Yeah, White Blaze and I have been buds for a long time."
"How did this come to be?" Sheppard asked. It wasn't everyday someone you knew had such an exotic pet.
"It was about 3 years before I came to Duel Academy; my dad was photojournalist and traveled the world. He took me with him on trip to the Himalayas. That's where I found this guy." Jaden indicated the tiger by rubbing the side of its neck. "He was still a cub when I found him, probably about a week old. Poor guy's mother was shot by hunters and he was starving to death. So I took him with me and nursed him back to health. He took a shine to me and we've buds ever since."
"Didn't your parents object to the idea of having a tiger as a pet?"
"At first, yes. But…" Jaden reaches into his pocket and pulls out a photo with a newspaper clipping paper clipped to the back. "They just couldn't say 'no' to that face." He shows them a picture of him when he was younger while holding a tiger cub.
"CUUTE!" Mindy squealed.
Alexis took the news clipping and read it aloud. "Residents of a Domino neighborhood were awakened early this morning by the sounds of a man calling for help from atop a power pole and the roars of a large Siberian tiger at the bottom. When local authorities arrived at the scene, the large animal backed away to allow them to get the man down. It was then discovered the man was identified as Sid Richards, a man suspected by police for several charges of breaking and entering, armed robbery, grand theft auto and various other offenses but lacked evidence to indict him. However, with the recovery of a large bag containing various stolen items belonging to the residents of the neighborhood, as well as finding Richards fingerprints on the items and bag, police officials had enough evidence to convict Richards. The tiger, 2-year-old White Blaze, owned by the Yuki family has been honored as local hero. Richards is facing a 20-year sentence in prison.' So we have a town hero in our midst."
"I remember that night, White Blaze tore out the seat on the guys pant's."
"Jaden, I don't think it would be a good idea to let him stay here." Sheppard said.
"Why not, you don't have a problem with Pharaoh and Wheeler."
"That's because Pharaoh is house cat and Wheeler is a monkey, not a 300-pound tiger."
"Come on, give him a chance. He only came here because he missed me, didn't you, boy?" White Blaze answered with a lick to Jaden's face.
Sheppard leaned back to think about it.

Elsewhere
A man stood before a portrait in a torch lit room.
'It has to be her. I just know it' "Merlin."
An old bearded man appeared behind him.
"Yes, sire."
"Tell the men I have found her. Have them go to Duel Academy and retrieve a Ms. Alexis Rhodes."
"As you wish, my king," the old man said with a hint of reluctance on his face.
Kotae wa doko sa?(Where's the answer?)
Slifer Red Dorms
Jaden and White Blaze sat on the grass just outside the Slifer dorm. He was still a little surprised Sheppard let White Blaze stay. It might have been due to Crowler barging in, seeing the tiger then screamed like a little girl that was heard across the entire island. Jaden committed that one to memory. His friends' reactions to White Blaze were a little different than the one of the drag queen instructor of Obelisk Blue. Hassleberry, Atticus and Bastion nearly jumped out of their skin. Chazz wasn't as surprised as everybody else. Most likely because his rich family met a lot of other people with unusual pets. Pharaoh had no problem whatsoever, being a cat himself. He was brought out of his reverie by the sounds of screaming, crashing and the clanking of metal.
"What was that?"
Dare mo ga toui tabibito sa kono machi de wa (Anyone is a distant traveler at this town)
Three knights stood above Syrus and Hassleberry.
"You, peasants, where is the one named Alexis Rhodes?" one demanded pointing his sword at Syrus.
"What do you want her for?"
"That be none of thy concerns, now speak!"
At that moment, Chazz, Atticus, Bastion, and the target of the knights, Alexis appeared.
"Lex, get out of here! These guys are after you!" Syrus called out.
The knights turned there attention to the new arrivals.
"Alexis Rhodes, Thou art coming with us."
"I don't think so!" Alexis shouted back.
"Milady hath no choice in the matter."
The moment was interrupted by a rock hitting one of the knights in the head, knocking his helmet off, revealing no head. Theses knights were empty suits of armor.
"Hey, bucket heads! Why don't you pick one someone your own size?"
Everyone turned to see who it was. Surprisingly, it was Jaden with White Blaze by his side.
"Like thou?" the knight was clearly angry. They all charged towards the young Slifer.
Mayoigo ni naru ashita mo (Becoming like a lost child, tomorrow also)
With Alexis and the others
"Is Jaden out of his mind? Those guys armed to the teeth!" said Syrus.
He and Hassleberry took the opportunity to get away when the knights were focused on Jaden.
"I don't know but let's hope he has a plan." Alexis said, hoping Jaden will be okay.
Arukitsuzukerusa.... (I'll keep walking...)
Jaden dodged the numerous sword swings at his head.
"Careful, you could put someone's eye out with that thing." He taunted.
"Hold. Still. Knave." The knights said with each swing.
"Now why would I do that?"
"Fine, if thou desire to be difficult, then…" the knight held up hid hand and snapped his fingers. In an instant, 15 more knights appeared, ready for battle.
"Oh, boy"
"Thou shalt suffer the consequence for thine stupidity. I ask for thy name so that I may carve it upon yon tombstone."
"Well, since you asked. My friends call me Jaden Yuki." He pulls out a small orb with a kanji on it. In a bright red flash, Jaden's clothes were replaced by red and white body armor. The boots, gauntlets, lower region, and body being red, while everything else was white. "You, however, can call me Jaden of the Wildfire!"
Everyone was stunned at this odd development. The knights quickly regained their composure.
"Dost thou think a little suit will save thee? Thou art still unarmed whilst we are far well from that."
Jaden looked himself over. "You got a point there. Perhaps I should change into something more appropriate."
Before anyone could say anything, Jaden raised his hand high.
"ARMOR OF WILDFIRE… TAO-JIN!"
Tapestry scrolls unraveled around him and rose into the air. Once they reached their peak, they burst into sakura petals. Red samurai style armor was added to the armor he already had. Fins protruded from the forearms and added armor to the boots he had on before. The shoulders pads stuck out with blue marking. The body area having more red armor with the sides being partly blue. On his back were two swords with blue hilts and golden guards in black sheathes. He then held out his hand and let some of the petals gather into it. As he raised the hand up over his head. They then transformed into a red helmet with bladed horns and a mask. When he put it on, the mask split down the middle and slid to the sides to show his face.
A spotlight shined down on Jaden in his new armor as the remaining petals fell.
Kokoro wa samurai munashisa daku yoroi o (The heart is a samurai, emptiness embraces the yoroi)
With Alexis and the others
To say everyone was stunned would be a huge understatement. It was absolutely mind-blowing at what they had just witnessed.
Nugisuteyou yuuki dake no suhada de (Take it off, dress only in your bravery)
Back at the battle
Jaden reached behind him and drew his swords. He was now ready for battle.
"Who's first?"
One broke away from the group and wildly swung his sword. After four attempted strikes, Jaden charged forward and slashed the knight across the chest. A light burst from the armor and it fell to the ground. Another charged at him with an ax, but the young samurai countered by slicing off the knight's forearm then slashed across its side. Again a light shot out and the armor fell. And another shot forth with a spear. Jaden cut through the pole then across the wielder's chest. Two more attacked and were cut down. Jaden started to rethink his strategy. Even though he was powered up, he was still outnumbered. He then had an idea. He brought the two hilts together to form a bladed staff.
"Alexis, everybody, you better get away from here. I don't want you to get hurt from what I'm going to do."
Alexis was about to protest but her brother assured her Jaden knew what he was doing. When they had left, Jaden returned his attention back to the knights.
"Time to send you guys back to the scrapheap."
He jumped into the air and radiated with power.
"FLARE UP, NOW!"
He then brought his blades down in a slash. In a bright flash, the last of the knights were vaporized. Once the light had faded, the only evidence of the battle that had taken place was an enormous burnt crater and a deep cut across the ground, stretching from there to the ocean.
Jaden returned his swords back to their sheaths and removed his helmet. He let out a sigh of relief, the battle was more taxing then he thought. He turned to see his friends coming in his direction. When they stopped and took the damage he had caused, they were rendered speechless. Except for Syrus, he was babbling incoherently while pointing at Jaden then to the cut then back to Jaden over and over again.
The relative silence was broken when Atticus spoke up.
"I believe I speak for everybody when I say 'Jaden, you got some 'splaining to do."
A/N: finally first chapter is done. At some point later, the warlord armors will appear but I'm not sure who should it be and who gets what. Which do you think it should be and which armor should they get?
Bastion
Zane
Jesse
Jim
Axel
Syrus?
