Hey, there, people, and welcome to Signer Legacy's second chapter. It's been a while since my last update in pretty much anything, but it's gonna be worth it, trust me. Yuten's loss in the last chapter came even as a surprise to me, but it sorta works for the story, but this time you should see something really cool, and nowhere near as short. Well, it might be short, but not AS short.

Disclaimer: I don't own Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's or even half of the Decks featured in this story, I'm getting help in that department.

Chapter 2: The first day continues.

Yuten and John stepped down from the Dueling stage after their Duel, with Yuten softly scratching the back of his head and looking at his Duel Disk. As they found Al, Milla Yuki stood up again.

"Thank you both for an excellent demonstration of the skills you possess. I hope to see you improve over your time here." she stated. "Now, I'd like to hand out your class assignments. If you would, come up and take these envelopes." With that, she raised a hand and motioned towards a table near the entrance, where several people sat, looking like the faculty of the Academia.

Yuten, John, and Al all went up to the table, where a man with strange-looking brown hair and what looked like an orange suit jacket handed them all envelopes with their names on it. "Call me Heitman-sensei, I'm going to be your teacher this year." he said, walking towards another student.

"He looked kinda freaky." John whispered in Yuten's ear. "I wonder what kind of things he'll teach us?"

Yuten cupped his hand over John's ear and whispered back. "Probably how to style our hair to look like a flying saucer!"

Al walked up in between the two and gave them simultaneous smacks to the head.

"Show some respect! He's a great teacher, and he'll prove it to you this year!" she barked, looking serious.

Yuten nodded and looked down while John simply crossed his arms and scoffed.

"Well..." Yuten started. "I think we'd best get to lunch..." The other two nodded and started to walk off with him, as a young girl followed them distantly from behind.

Later, in class, the man called Heitman was giving a beginning a lecture for his new students.

"All right, children, who can tell me what a Field Spell is?" the teacher began.

Yuten raised his hand quickly as the man pointed at him. "Ah, Fudo-kun, you have an answer?" he asked.

Yuten nodded. "Yep. It's something like Speed World and Speed World 2, right?"

Heitman nodded in reply. "That's one example, yes, but there's many other Field Spells out there than just those two. You see, a Field Spell is a different kind of Spell Card that is placed in its own zone and has special properties that effect how the game goes about, some offer distinct advantages to one side, others have an effect that works for support that both help you and hinder your opponent. Young John Atlas uses one of those Field Spells, as you saw earlier today."

The children in the classroom all nodded and looked over at John, who was writing something in his notebook.

"But," Yuten began again. "If you rely too much on a Field Spell in a regular Duel, how does it affect you in a Riding Duel?"

Heitman's eyes widened for a few seconds. "Well, that's a very good question, but it's one we'll have to deal with later. Now, continuing on..."

Yuten was listening avidly to the lecture while the girl next to him in class nudged him. He gasped as quietly as he could, then turned around to see who had gotten his attention. It turned out to be a young girl with short, violet hair.

"Excuse me... Fudo-kun?" she started to say. "Are you the son of Aki Izayoi by any chance?"

Yuten looked confused. "My mom's name is Aki, but I don't know anyone with the surname of Izayoi..."

The girl quietly gasped upon hearing the name "Aki" and leaned in a tiny bit closer. "Could you... possibly... introduce me to her? I've always been a fan of hers."

"Well," the boy replied. "she's gonna be picking me up tomorrow after school on her D-Wheel, so if you hang out with me until then, you can definitely meet her."

The girl suddenly looked ecstatic, almost jumping out of her seat as she screamed... "THAT WOULD BE GREAT!"

At that very moment, a hand came down onto the desk space in front of the two, causing the two students to look up at the frustrated Heitman in front of them.

"Exactly what would be so great, Yoko-san?" the teacher asked.

The girl suddenly shied her way into a slumping position. "Listening to your interesting lecture, sir..."

Heitman closed his eyes and nodded softly. "Then I shouldn't be expecting any more interruptions in this 'interesting' lecture, correct?"

The girl could only nod alongside Yuten, who was still daring to look the instructor in the eye. As Heitman turned around and walked back to his podium, Yuten turned to the girl.

"So what's your name?" he asked.

"My name is Akina Yoko." she replied.

Yuten held out a hand. "Nice to meet you, Yoko-san."

Akina took hold of Yuten's hand as they shook, turning to pay attention to what their teacher was saying.

After class, Yuten and Akina started walking towards the parking lot where Yusei would be picking up his son. Soon after leaving the room, Al and John ran up to the pair, stopping and giving strange looks to the new face.

"Who's she?" John asked.

"Her name is Akina Yoko, and she's a new friend of mine." Yuten told him. "She wants to meet my mom."

Al walked up to Akina and put a hand on her shoulder. "Well, Yoko-san, it's nice to meet you."

While the group started walking, a rather large-looking boy walked past them and "accidentally" brushed up against Yuten's shoulder, suddenly turning around.

"Hey, kid, watch where you're going!" the boy shouted. "You could've knocked me over just now!"

Al looked over at the large child angrily and stepped forward. "I don't think someone Yuten's size could have knocked you over without help." She spat out.

The boy looked at Yuten again. "Yuten, huh? So you're that idiot who lost so easily this morning, right?"

Yuten merely nodded.

The boy smirked and stepped forward. "Then we can make this up with a Duel!"

Al put her hand in between her friend and the large child, blocking his path. "So, you're just going to challenge him based on the fact that he lost today? You think it'll be that easy? Well, I'll tell you what, I'll take you on in his place!"

The boy looked at Al like she was insane. "You sure? I don't want to hurt you, little girl."

Al started fuming instantly. "YOU BET I'M SURE! What's your name, fatso? I wanna know who it is that I beat so easily!"

The large boy laughed. "My name is Tana, just remember, though, no crying when you lose!"

The group plus Tana immediately walked out to the parking lot as Al readied her Duel Disk, looking at the Tana struggling to fit his onto his arm.

"You ready, fatso?" Al asked.

Tana finally managed to get his Duel Disk on, standing at the ready as both player's Decks triggered the auto-shuffle function. "Ready when you are, girlie."

The two stared each other down, simultaneously shouting... "DUEL!"

AL-VS.-TANA

4000-4000

Al drew her card first, adding it to her hand. "I'll start this off!" Suddenly, she took a card from her hand and placed it on her Duel Disk. "I'll Summon Dark Valkyria in Attack Mode!" As the card hit the surface of the device, a rainbow light shined from it as a very sinister-looking fairy appeared in front of the owner of the card. (Dark Valkyria: 4/1800) "Now I'll set two face down cards and end my turn!" With that, an image of two cards appeared in front of Al, yet behind the Monster.

Tana smirked. "Just as I thought, the girl is using her fairies. Draw!" Drawing his card, he placed one on his Duel Disk. "I'll Summon Marauding Captain in Attack Mode!" The armor-clad warrior suddenly appeared in a flash of light in front of Tana, practically flexing his muscles. (Marauding Captain: 3.1200) "His effect activates, letting me Special Summon my Exiled Force!" Placing another card on his Duel Disk, a group of smaller men appeared next to the Marauding Captain. (Exiled Force: 3/1000) "Now I'll use Exiled Force's ability, letting me sacrifice him to destroy your little fairy girl!" With that, the Exiled Force rushed over to Dark Valkyria and all simultaneously stabbing the fairy with all their might, causing her to violently explode, which engulfed the warriors around her. Both Duelists slid their respective cards into the Graveyard sections of their Duel Disks as Tana smirked once more. "And now, you're wide open! I attack with Marauding Captain!" As if possessed, the Captain drew his blades and rushed over to Al, striking her once with each one. (Al: 2800 LP)

Tana laughed as his Warrior returned to his original position. "I think I'll end my turn with that. What do you think?"

Al smiled and drew for her turn. "I think your strategy is all power and no brains! I'll start with the Spell Card Double Summon, bringing out my Evocator Chevalier!" she exclaimed, placing the card on her Duel Disk and causing the crimson knight to appear in front of her. (Evocator Chevalier: 4/1900) Tana looked at her Warrior and suddenly went slack-jawed.

"You have Warriors too?" he asked loudly.

Al nodded and continued her play. "Now I'll Gemini Summon my Monster thanks to Double Summon, making him an Effect Monster!" With that, a gold light shone around the Chevalier and inside his armor, as he struck a pose with the sparkles falling around him. "Next, I'll play two Equip Spells on him, Divine Sword – Phoenix Blade and Axe of Despair!" At the command, two weapons appeared in the Chevalier's hands, one bright sword and one gloomy-looking axe. (Evocator Chevalier's ATK: 1900 → 3200) "I think I'll wait on using his effect, but for now I think I'll activate my face down Trap Card, Birthright! This lets me take a Normal Monster in my Graveyard and Special Summon it in Attack Mode, so Dark Valkyria comes back to play!" As the Trap card flipped up, the once-destroyed dark fairy rose to the field as if from ashes, taking a battle stance." (Dark Valkyria: 4/1800) Al looked at her two Monsters and pointed at Tana's lone warrior. "Dark Valkyria, attack his Marauding Captain!" With that, the dark fairy rushed forward and impaled the armor-clad Marauding Captain with a single hand, causing him to explode. (Tana: 3400 LP)

Al proceeded to move her gaze from the spot where the Captain once stood over to her opponent as she pointed once more. "Evocator Chevalier, attack him directly!" The crimson-armored warrior nodded and jumped up into the air, coming down hard with a sweep of his massive axe onto Tana. (Tana: 200 LP)

"How do you like me now?" Al asked. "By the way, I end my turn."

Tana drew is card and grumbled a bit under his breath, looking at his hand carefully. "I'll Summon out my Dark Blade in Attack Mode, and I'll also play the Spell Card, Ekibyo Drakmord, equipping it to your big guy." The warrior that looked like an ox in special armor appeared in front of Tana, slicing the air with his twin swords as the Spell simultaneously hit the field and blasted the Chevalier with some kind of acidic slime. (Dark Blade: 4/1800) "Now neither of your Monsters can attack, and in two turns, the big one will be destroyed! I'll end my turn with that."

Al drew her card and suddenly began to laugh. "Wow, you must not be much, if that's all you've got. That explains why you went after someone you saw losing instead of looking for a challenge. No offense, Yuten."

Yuten shook his head, replying. "None taken."

"Either way, you must have already forgotten something. I'll use my Evocator Chevalier's effect, destroying my Divine Sword – Phoenix Blade to also destroy your Dark Blade!" Evocator Chevalier responded to the activation by taking his Phoenix blade and swinging it up high, throwing it into Tana's only line of defense and shattering it. "You forgot that I made my Chevalier and Effect Monster as soon as I brought him out, and that leads to your downfall. Dark Valkyria, end this Duel! Attack him directly!" With a nod, Dark Valkyria rushed forward again and stopped directly in front of Tana, spinning quickly and kicking him in the side of the head, knocking him over. (Tana: 0 LP)

Tana looked over at Al in utter disbelief, shaking his head furiously as he rose to stand.

"How does this happen? I lost to a girl?" the large boy asked, targeting no one in particular.

Al strutted over to Tana, putting her cards back in her Deck Box which lay on her belt, looking down at him and smiling. "Gender has nothing to do with Dueling ability. You have yet to even come close to seeing what I'm really capable of."

Yuten nodded rather enthusiastically, agreeing with the girl. Akina, meanwhile, was still standing where she was when the game started, looking over at the result.

"Wow, you're really good for someone in their first year at the Academia." Akina bluntly stated. "You made that look easy!"

Al simply grinned wider as she walked back over to her friends. Yuten was once again scratching the back of his head like a dork, while John folded his arms and tossed a smirk Al's way. Akina was following behind Yuten, looking a bit nervous.

"Akina," Al began. "You don't have to wait with us, today. Yuten's mom won't be here today, just his dad."

Akina gave a nervous giggle, "I know, but I wouldn't mind meeting him, either."

John looked over at Akina with a confident look on his face. "Well, my father is going to be here, too, he promised to pick me up today."

Immediately, Akina blushed. "So, Jack Atlas will be here?" John nodded to the embarrassed girl as she looked back and forth between Yuten and John.

Just as Akina was reaching full excitement, vehicles could be heard in the distance. Yuten and John looked out at the horizon as a familiar sight pulled up. Yusei Fudo on his D-Wheel, Yusei Go, complete with an extra helmet that he held out in an inviting manner.

John looked over at Yusei and waved, looking out in the distance for his own parent, seeing the very van that brought him to school pulling up in front of him. Jack went into shock.

"What? Where's my father?" he exclaimed. "Yuten gets his dad but I just get..." Interrupted by a massive hug from Carly.

Yusei looked over at an unfamiliar face, also known as Akina. "Are you a friend of Yuten's?" he asked.

Akina nodded and held up a shaky hand. "Yes, I'm Akina Yoko, sir..." Yusei responded instantly by taking the girl's hand and giving her a firm handshake.

"Nice to meet you. But, we've got to get going. Aki is planning on a special dinner to celebrate Yuten's first day, and we don't want to keep her waiting."

"Right." Yuten agreed. "Mom's scary when she's mad, so we should probably get going. See you tomorrow Akina!" Yuten waved as the Yusei Go sped off into the distance...

Akina looked at the horizon and pulled out her own Deck, looking at a single card, Splendid Rose. "I'll really meet her tomorrow..."

Akina: Wow, it's really her! Aki Izayoi!

Aki: You must be-

Akina: I've idolized you for so many years! I can't believe I'm finally meeting you... Oh... Could you possibly help me with my Dueling? Maybe give me some lessons on how to customize my Plant Deck? I can prove myself if I have to!

Next time on Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's!

The Plant Wall revealed!

Akina: I can't wait to show you!
