Silver: *is eating some Ramen while waiting for KKD to come for Recording* Yum, that's some good ramen…

KKD: *walks in, eating from a tray of sushi.* Having a snack, too, kouhai?

Silver: Of course. Eating a snack before an activity keeps your mind active and your body working right. You want some of my ramen?

KKD: Nah, I got some sushi here. And if there's anything I like more than sushi, it's spam and rice, and where I'm living at doesn't have any. ...Don't ask about the span.

Silver: Mou! I love sushi! Can't I have just one california roll, Sempai? I'll trade some ramen for it…

KKD: Mmmm… sure. Why not. But we'd best hurry, it's almost time to record.

Silver: Right… Y'know, I just realized a pattern in how this fanfic is being structured, but I'll save that for when we finish writing the chapter.

KKD: I guess… *slurps up some ramen offered by Silver*

Silver: Anyways, Disclaimers are on. KKD and I do not own Yu-Gi-Oh of any kind (Original, GX, 5Ds, ZEXAL, Arc-V, or the like), and we only own our respective OC characters (Kai and Kasumi Yuuto, Takeshi and Hana Narumi, Raven Tsubasa). Anyways, let's Rev it Up!

KKD: Wait… Arc-V? Never heard of it… but save it for after the chapter. Okay folks, Get Your Game On!


"Students, you are all here because of your skills in Dueling from all across the world, and you have shown what it takes to be a part of this prestiged Duel Academy, made by the famous duelist Seto Kaiba himself!"

The four first-years made it just in time to see Jaden Yuki, in a maroon vest similar to their Academy uniforms, standing before a huge crowd of students in front of Duel Academy.

"I am the Chancellor at Duel Academy, Jaden Yuki. You may know me for being one of the legendary Duelists, alongside Yugi Moto, Seto Kaiba, Joey Wheeler, and Zane Truesdale, the latter of whom I knew my first year here before he graduated, and his younger brother I was best friends with throughout my time here."

"Whoa… our Chancellor is Jaden Yuki?" one of the students next to Kai whispered.

"Well, of course. Haven't you heard? After the previous Chancellor, Vellian Crowler, retired, he specifically asked Jaden to take his place. Ironic considering how they didn't get along when he was Jaden's teacher…" another responded.

"Very impressive," Takeshi nodded.

"Well, what do you expect from one of the best Duelists in the world, eh, Take-chan?" Kai stated, gently elbowing Takeshi playfully.

"Stop calling me Take-chan…" Takeshi groaned, slightly annoyed.

"Careful Kai. He may be a cool guy, but he gets annoyed easily," Hana warned.

"Now that the introductions are out of the way," Jaden continued, "Duel Academy will now be your new home for the next three years. You shall be taught Dueling tactics, Duel many powerful opponents, and live with your fellow students in the three dorms… Slifer, Ra, and Obelisk!" As he called out the names, he gestured to each of the dorms standing out in the crowd.

"I wish you the best of luck in your adventures at Duel Academy, and may the Heart of the Cards always be in your favor!" As Jaden stepped down, he looked over at Kai and smiled, but Kai could also hear Jaden say something under his breath. "Man, these speeches are tough to write. Maybe I shouldn't have slept through my orientation my first time here…"

Kai couldn't help but smile at the man as he walked with the rest of the Slifer students toward a small building in the distance that reminded him of a motel, which was actually the Slifer Dorm room.

"What a dump! That place looks more like a tool shed than a dorm room," Takeshi complained.

"You kidding? It's amazing," Kai responded, "Plus, they've expanded the dorm quite a bit since it was first made…"

"Whatever… I guess it's better than nothing," Takeshi shrugged, looking at the room number he had obtained from the administrators. "Here it is, room 213…"

"Hey, that's what my paper says too," Kai stated, looking at the door number.

"I guess we're roomies," Takeshi figured as he opened the door and found… it was a lot nicer than the two were expecting. Of course, it still looked similar to an average dorm room, but it was roomier than was expected, especially considering how the dorms looked years before, and these dorm rooms had definitely had some improvements over the years.

"Whoa…" Kai gawked, looking around the crimson-walled room.

"Not bad," Takeshi admitted.

"Dibs on top bunk!" Kai shouted, climbing up and hopping onto the bunk bed.

"I guess I'll just get unpacking then," Takeshi shrugged, opening his bag.

Suddenly, there was a knock at the door, as Hana came into the dorm room, slightly annoyed for some reason. "My roommate... is annoying…" she complained, sitting down and sighing.

"Really sis? How so?" Takeshi asked, hanging up his fedora and putting his sunglasses down.

"Her name is Lenora Valkyria and she Won't. Shut. Up!" Hana groaned.

"Oh… she's one of those girls," Takeshi sighed.

"Hey, no worries," Kai assured Hana, giving her the thumbs-up, "You'll get used to her,"

"I guess…" Hana replied.

"Hey, I think I'm gonna go check out how Nee-san is doing in her dorm, and see if she needs any help unpacking," Kai stated, jumping off the bunk bed (accidently stepping on Takeshi's foot) and walking toward the door.

"YOW! Why don't you watch where you're stepping?!" Takeshi responded.

"Sorry, man! I'll be back in a little bit for dinner. Don't start the fun without me!" Kai shouted as he ran out the door.


"It's good that you're able to help me out here, Little Brother," Kasumi thanked as she and Kai unpacked her stuff.

"No prob. I can't believe you get to stay here! This place is amazing!" Kai stated, laying on the giant comfy bed in the middle of the room.

"Unfortunately, I still have to deal with snobby teenage girls here," Kasumi groaned, "My roommates are so snobbish and really grind my gears…"

"Seems you have it different compared to Hana, who has a really chatty roommate," Kai shrugged.

Suddenly, the two saw a kid walk into the doorway. He had spiky black hair and grey eyes, that gave off the kind of aura an avian predator would have. He wore an Obelisk uniform, which was a reversed color scheme of the female uniform Kasumi was wearing.

"Heya. Welcome to Obelisk, first-year," the kid stated, trying to act tough and attractive at the same time, "Name's Raven. Raven Tsubasa. Why don't you ditch this loser Slifer and come hang with a real man, eh?"

"Hey, what do you mean by 'loser'?! May I remind you that Chancellor Yuki was once a Slifer like myself!" Kai growled, turning his hands into fists while scowling at the Obelisk student, Raven.

"That makes him a loser too. I mean, why would a Professor of the great Obelisk Blue dorm like Dr. Crowler surrender his position to such a slacker?" Raven scoffed.

"Why you little-!" Kai shouted, about to run at Raven before being stopped by his sister.

"No, Kai, let me handle this jerkface…" Kasumi stated, adjusting her glasses so that the gleam made her orange eyes hard to see, as a smirk came across her face, "No one insults my brother and gets away with it. Time to put your money where your mouth is and Duel, punk!"

"Hmph. We'll see about that." Raven scowled as he left the room.


Kasumi and Raven stood on opposites sides of the arena in the Duel Academy building, after asking permission from the Chancellor to use it for their match. Kasumi strapped on her Duel Disk, which was already customized for her a bit as she had added some royal blue and cyan stripes to it to make it look nice and still look awesome.

"I'm about to show you why they call me the best where I come from!" Raven boasted, activating his Duel Disk, which had been customized to be all black.

"Don't start the victory party just yet," Kasumi scoffed, activating her Duel Disk, as well.

"You got this, sis!" Kai shouted from the stands, while Takeshi, Hana, and a few other students sat with him to watch the fight unfold.

"Duel!" the two shouted, starting up the match.

Raven: 4000

Raven's Hand: 5

Kasumi: 4000

Kasumi's Hand: 5

"I'll kick things off," Raven smirked, making the first draw. "First, I'll activate Black Whirlwind, then I'll summon Blackwing-Shura the Blue Flame, in attack mode!"

With that, a whirlwind whipped up around Raven before a large black bird with blue head feathers appeared on the field.

Blackwing - Shura the Blue Flame: Winged-Beast/Effect Monster, Dark Attribute, 1800 ATK, 1200 DEF

"And thanks to Black Whirlwind, I can add a Blackwing monster with less ATK than my Normal Summoned monster to my hand," Raven smirked, drawing a card from his deck, then showing it to Kasumi, "and I choose Gale the Whirlwind!"

Kasumi scoffed. "Big deal! You think I'm scared of your pesky birds?"

Raven scowled, glaring at Kasumi with hate. "Since I have a Blackwing Monster on the field, I can special summon Blackwing - Bora the Spear to the field in Attack Mode!"

With that, another bird appeared, but this one was standing on two legs, had some yellowed feathers on the arms, and red feathers on its head while holding a giant spear stylized like a drill.

Blackwing - Bora the Spear: Winged-Beast/Effect Monster, Dark Attribute, 1700 ATK, 800 DEF

"And with that, I end my turn," Raven finished.

Raven: 4000

Raven's Hand: 4

Kasumi: 4000

Kasumi's Hand: 5

"You're not so tough…" Kasumi stated, drawing her card, "Okay, I'll start off by Activating the field spell, Future Visions!"

Suddenly, the field began to digitize, as Kasumi and Raven found themselves in a strange spacial dimension, filled with giant cards made of space itself.

"Now, every time a Monster is Normal Summoned to the field, they are removed from play until the next standby phase. Next I summon Fortune Lady Light in Attack mode!"

As she said that, she placed a card on one of her monster zones, summoning a blond haired humanoid woman with white skin, wearing black spandex and a yellow dress, but still revealed a little too much skin…

Fortune Lady Light: Spellcaster/Effect Monster, Light Attribute, ? ATK, ? DEF

However, as instantly as Fortune Lady Light had appeared, she suddenly disappeared, sucked into one of the card-like portals floating around the room.

"That's stupid! Did you forget your own field spell?! And even if you didn't, your monster practically had no ATK points," Raven laughed.

Kasumi smirked, adjusting her glasses slightly. "Who said I forgot? I activate Fortune Lady Light's effect! When she is removed from the field, I can Special summon another Fortune Lady from my deck, and I choose Fortune Lady Dark in Attack Mode!"

Suddenly, another woman appeared onto the battlefield, this time with light purple skin and purple hair, as well as a purple dress.

Fortune Lady Dark: Spellcaster/Effect Monster, Dark Attribute, ? ATK, ? DEF

"Still, she has no ATK or DEF!" Raven insisted.

"Oh really?" Kasumi smirked, as Fortune Lady Dark powered up, "Fortune Ladies gain a certain number of attack and defense points per level. In Dark's case, she's a level 5, and gains 400 attack per level, so she's 2000!"

"Nani?!" Raven gasped.

"However… first before I attack, I'll play Foolish Burial, sending Fortune Lady Fire to my Graveyard," Kasumi announced, taking out a monster card and putting it in her graveyard zone, "Now, Fortune Lady Dark, let's kick Bora to the curb!"

With that, the dark Fortune Lady charged in and skewered Bora with her weapon, shattering the bird into pixels.

"And that's not all! Thanks to Dark's effect, I can special summon one Fortune Lady from my Graveyard, and I summon Fortune Lady Fire in Attack Mode!" Kasumi shouted, as another Fortune Lady with red clothes, red hair, and pink skin took to the field.

Fortune Lady Fire: Spellcaster/Effect Monster, Fire Attribute, ? ATK, ? DEF

"And when Fire is special summoned, I can destroy one monster and deal damage equal to its attack points! Buh-bye, Shura!"

With a wave of her hand, Fortune Lady Fire practically roasted Shura before it exploded into pixels.

"Oh no!" Raven gasped.

"And since Fire is level 2, she gains 200 Attack per level, making her a 400 Attack Monster! Fortune Lady Fire, attack Raven directly!"

Fortune Lady Fire then slashed out with her staff, attacking Raven directly.

"I'll then set one card, and end my turn…"

Raven: 1500

Raven's Hand: 4

Kasumi: 4000

Kasumi's Hand: 2

"Grrr…" Raven growled just drawing his next card.

"That was pretty cool…" Hana admitted, "I've never seen those kind of cards before. Kassie is doing great."

"Yeah, Nee-san put a lot of time into building her Fortune Lady deck," Kai stated, "She feels they match her playstyle, that she calculates when the perfect time is to strike. If you know my sister, you know that she will think things through and still have enough time to kick your sorry behind to the floor."

"Shut it!" Raven snapped, "First, for my next turn, I'll normal summon Blackwing - Zephyros the Elite in attack mode!"

Instantly, another bird-like Tengu appeared on the field, this one wearing a white beak-like mask over its face.

Blackwing - Zephyros the Elite: Winged-Beast/Effect Monster, Dark Attribute, 1600 ATK, 1000 DEF

"Then, Black Whirlwind's effect activates, allowing me to add Blizzard the Far North to my hand!" Raven stated.

"I don't know if you remember, bird brain, but Future Visions is still in effect!" Kasumi chided, as another card portal was about to take in Zephyros.

"Oh yeah?" Raven smirked, "I chain my quick spell from my hand, Forbidden Lance! At the expense of 800 Attack Points, Zephyros is immune to spell and traps until the end of turn!"

Suddenly, a giant lance pierced the card portal before Zephyros was about to be sucked in, leaving the bird safe.

"I then special summon Blackwing - Gale the Whirlwind in Attack Mode, and activate his effect to halve the Attack of one of your monsters!" Raven continued, grinning maliciously. A black crow with green head-feathers appeared as well, which suddenly let loose a razor-sharp tornado that circled around Fortune Lady Dark, weakening her.

Blackwing - Gale the Whirlwind: Winged-Beast/Tuner Monster, Dark Attribute, 1300 ATK, 400 DEF

"This is bad…" Kasumi murmured, looking at the two Blackwing Monsters.

"Now, Zephyros, attack Fortune Lady Fire, and Gale, take care of Dark!"

With that, the two bird monsters attacks with their talons, shattering the two fortune ladies on Kasumi's field, leaving her defenseless.

Raven: 1500

Raven's Hand: 3

Kasumi: 3300

Kasumi's Hand: 2

Kasumi faltered slightly, but still stood her ground, glaring straight at the black-haired Obelisk student and his two monsters.

"Before I end things off," Raven stated, "I think it's time I show you my real power! I use Gale and Zephyros's powers to Synchro Summon!"

"Synchro Summon?!" Kai gasped, "That's not possible!"

Suddenly, Gale flew into the air, turning into 3 rings of data, followed by Zephyros. As the bird-like Monster passed through the rings, its body began to fade and changed into four stars, which suddenly created a huge column of light that lit the field.

"I tune Blackwing - Gale the Whirlwind with Blackwing - Zephyros the Elite to Synchro Summon… BLACKWING ARMOR MASTER!"

As the light faded, a giant humanoid bird that looked almost robotic, which had a single technologic eye on its face, appeared on Raven's side of the field.

Blackwing Armor Master: Winged-Beast/Synchro Monster, Dark Attribute, 2500 ATK, 1500 DEF

"Now, I think I'll end things off here. Let's see how you get around my ace Monster, toots!" Raven sneered mockingly.

Raven: 1500

Raven's Hand: 3

Kasumi: 3300

Kasumi's Hand: 2

"Don't call me 'Toots'" Kasumi growled, "During your end phase, I activate my Trap Card, Inherited Fortune! Because a Fortune Lady was destroyed in battle, I can special summon 2 more during my standby phase! Draw!" after drawing a card, she looked in her hand and smiled. "During my standby phase, Fortune Lady Light comes back to the field! As well, I special summon Fortune Lady Water and Fortune Lady Earth!"

The card portal holding Fortune Lady Light suddenly shattered, as a pillar of stone and a column of water appeared beside her appeared. The pillars suddenly shattered, as two more fortune ladies, one with earthy brown skin, orange hair, a brown dress, and circular glasses, and the other with light blue skin, blue hair, and a blue dress, appeared beside Fortune Lady Light.

Fortune Lady Water: Spellcaster/Effect Monster, Water Attribute, ? ATK, ? DEF

Fortune Lady Earth: Spellcaster/Effect Monster, Earth Attribute, ? ATK, ? DEF

"Since Water was special summoned to the field, and I have other Fortune Ladies on the field, I can draw two cards!" Kasumi stated, drawing from her deck, "But my ladies have another ability. During my standby phase, they go up by one level, and that allows Earth's effect to activate, causing 400 points of damage to be dealt to you!"

As she said that, Fortune Lady Earth raised up her staff, sending a bolt of energy right at Raven.

Fortune Lady Light: Lvl 1 → Lvl 2

Fortune Lady Water: Lvl 4 → Lvl 5

Fortune Lady Earth: Lvl 6 → Lvl 7

Raven: 1100

Raven's Hand: 3

Kasumi: 3300

Kasumi's Hand: 3

"Grrr… I'll get you for that!" Raven shouted.

"Oh really?" Kasumi smirked, "Well, let's see how you like this! First, I'll activate Mystical Space Typhoon, destroying my field spell!"

Suddenly, the dimension shattered, as they were sent back to the dueling arena.

"You fool! You wanted to destroy your own field spell?!" Raven laughed.

Kasumi grinned, shaking her head. "Oh, don't worry, I'll get it back. Plus, I needed to get rid of it to summon my final Fortune Lady! Come forth, Fortune Lady Cosmos!"

Instantly, another Fortune Lady appeared on the field, this one having white hair and pale skin, with a white dress that seemed to sparkle with all the colors of the other fortune ladies.

Fortune Lady Cosmos: Spellcaster/Tuner Monster, Light Attribute, ? ATK, ? DEF

"N-Nani?!" Raven shouted.

"Wait… I've never seen that Fortune Lady before, Nee-san," Kai stated.

"It's one of the new ones I pulled from a pack before we left," Kasumi replied, before adjusting her glasses and eyeing Raven, "Not only does this monster allow me to add Future Visions to my hand, I can also choose a Fortune Lady on the field and copy their level, as well as gaining 300 Attack Points per level, making Cosmos a level 2 with 600 Attack and Defense Points! And also…" the glare of her glasses blinding to Raven as she gave a sinister smile, "she's a Tuner Monster."

"Y-You don't mean-?!" Raven gasped.

"That's right!" Kasumi confirmed, "I tune Fortune Lady Cosmos with Fortune Lady Light and Fortune Lady Earth!" with that, Cosmos changed into 2 rings of data, as Light and Earth jumped through the rings, turning into 9 stars which changed into a pillar of light, unleashing a massive red dragon.

"Come forth, Star Eater!" Kasumi shouted, as the monster towered over the two duelists on the battlefield.

"Even if that card is impressive, Blackwing Armor Master cannot be destroyed by battle!" Raven laughed, sounding very sure of himself.

"Oh, you sorry little sap," Kasumi muttered, wagging her finger at Raven, "I told you that you couldn't defeat me. I'd calculated how this duel would end long before the first draw. Learn this, punk! No one messes with a Yuuto and gets away with it! Forbidden Chalice, activate!"

Suddenly, a chalice filled with strange liquid appeared before Armor Master, and as the monster appeared to drink the liquid, it began to writhe in pain as its armor began to crack.

"By allowing your monster to gain 400 Attack Points, I've disabled its effect! Game over, Raven! Star Eater, Fortune Lady Water, take this guy down!"

Together, Fortune Lady Water and Star Eater attacked together toward Raven and his monster, Water jumping onto the back of the red dragon. As Star Eater collided with Armor Master, breaking it into pixels, Fortune Lady Water jumped off of Star Eater's back, slamming her staff square into Raven.

Raven: 0

Raven's Hand: 3

Kasumi: 3300

Kasumi's Hand: 1

"I… I lost…" Raven muttered, falling to the ground as Kasumi's monsters disappeared from the field as she turned and gave a thumbs up to her brother.

"Way to go, sis!" Kai cheered.

"You haven't seen the last of me!" Raven growled, walking out of the arena in a huff.

"That was a really impressive duel, Kassie!" Hana stated, "I'd hate to see how others have to feel the pain of your fortune ladies…"

"Yea… and I'd hate to say it, but my dragons might be scared of those ladies of yours," Takeshi added, partially joking.

"Well, I've worked really hard on making this deck. Fortune Ladies have always been cards that I think are pretty neat. They have a lot of interesting skills," Kasumi admitted.

"I see," Hana nodded, "Well, either way, hopefully those snobbish Obelisk students will think twice before messing with Slifer dorm again,"

"You got that right!" Kai cheered, high-fiving his sister, "Anyways, shall we go get some dinner? I'm starving!"

"Good thinking. Race ya there," Takeshi replied as they ran back to Slifer dorm.

Hana was about to follow the boys, before Kasumi stopped her. "How about we let the boys have their fun? Let's go eat dinner at the Obelisk dorm. I hear they have their own professional chef."

"...I'd be glad to, but don't you think the Obelisk students won't like having a Slifer student eating with them?"

Kasumi shrugged. "If they do mess with you, they'll have to deal with me. And frankly, after that display of duel power, I doubt they'll want to face me," she chuckled.

"...Well… I guess so…"

"Great! Let's go!" Kasumi responded, smiling at Hana and then running off toward the Obelisk Girl's dorm. As she left, Hana couldn't help but smile at the new friend she had made today, then ran after her.


KKD: Well, that was pretty cool. Nice duel there, Kouhai.

Silver: Thanks! Honestly, it was a bit difficult writing Raven's portion, considering how little I know about Blackwings (I should really make a deck of them on DevPro), I loved writing the awesomeness of Fortune Ladies! Seriously, Fortune Ladies are pretty unique with their effects and play style, and I can't help but like them.

KKD: I see… guess you were sad that they were only featured in one episode of 5D's.

Silver: Only one? Weird… I never really watched too much 5Ds. Though, I would say Fortune Ladies are underrated, but they really match Kasumi well, considering you actually have to think and plan in order to use them.

KKD: Yea… and it's stuff like that makes the game tricky for me, you have to not only plan ahead, but also during the match, and there's so much to consider, too.

Silver: I guess… but I'm used to it. Also, I don't think you've seen, but I actually featured an OC card in this part. Sure, I could have used any old boring Level 2 Tuner, but I feel that Fortune Lady Cosmos works well for this duel. Just letting you know, she is initially a level 3 Tuner, but can become the level of another Fortune Lady, making a good Xyz summon or a level 8 or 10 or even 2 Synchro Summon! ^^

KKD: I see. Makes sense.

Silver: Anyways, let's finish this chapter off, shall we?

KKD: Yep. Until next time, this is KKD Silver…

Silver: And Silveraria Maximum, signing out!

KKD: Jaa ne.

Silver: Stand up the Vanguard!
