I don't own Yugioh GX, bla bla bla bla bla etc etc.
Note: For the duels that are already in the show, I'll probably just skip over them or make them shorter, unless I just modify them until they aren't the same as the original.
Chapter 2: Welcome to Duel Academy
A helicopter with the logo of Duel Academy on its side was flying over the ocean. It was headed towards an island with several buildings, a dock, a widespread forest and a large volcano. As it neared its destination, the pilot spoke to the students inside.
"Attention new duel academy students, if you just look outside your windows, you'll see your new home for the year to come. Now we'll be landing in a short moment, so fasten your seatbelts and sit back. Next stop, Academy Island."
Bastion, who was seated next to Jeremy, gently elbowed him in the ribs to wake him up. "We're going to land soon. You might want to put on your seatbelt."
"But I don't want to wear that," Jeremy responded, still half asleep.
Bastion elbowed him a little harder this time, still failing to get results. However, Jeremy ended waking up when the helicopter angled downward, causing his face to hit the seat in front of him.
"Man that wasn't fun," he mumbled, as he sat back in his seat. "Why didn't you wake me up Bastion."
"Well I tried, but you only said 'I don't want to wear that'."
"Oh yeah… Just some dream I was having. Nothing important."
"Anyways, now that you're awake, I just wanted to congratulate you on your victory. It was most impressive."
"Thanks Bastion."
Shortly after, the helicopter landed on the school and the new students we're all ushered out. They were then guided to a place where there they were to pick up their uniforms. Jeremy walked up to one of the people sitting at a long table in front of a row of boxes.
"Your name please," a man asked him.
"Jeremy Wheeler."
He turned back and checked a few boxes before he picked one up and passed it to Jeremy.
"Your uniform, PDA and anything else you need for now. There's a place to change down there," he pointed to the side.
"Thanks."
After having put on their uniforms, they all followed the teacher to a classroom with a giant screen at the front. When they all got inside, it turned on, showing a bald man with a beard, wearing a red coat and a tie.
"Good morning and welcome students. I am Chancellor Sheppard, the headmaster here. You're all here because you're the best and brightest young duelists in the world."
"Does he go on for much longer?" Jeremy asked no one in particular. "I'm bored." He looked behind him and saw Jaden's head was bobbing, as if he had a hard time staying fully awake. "Guess I'm not the only one."
Sheppard talked for almost a half an hour, finishing by saying something about their dorms and how they ranked.
When they got out, Jeremy, Jaden and Syrus all sat on small statues with creatures engraved on them. "So guys, I guess I'm in Slifer Red," Jaden said, as he checked his PDA. "What about you two?"
"Awesome, same thing with me," Jeremy replied.
"Me too. Maybe it's because we're all wearing red that we're in Slifer," Syrus pointed out.
"Really?" Jaden and Jeremy asked.
"Don't tell me you just realized this now?" Syrus said disbelievingly.
"I just didn't make the connection beforehand." Jeremy told him.
"Come on now. Why don't we go over to our dorm," Jaden suggested.
"Sure. Let's go."
"What kind of place is this? It looks like an outhouse with a deck."
"Cheer up Sy. At least the view's great. Let's check out our room." Jaden walked up to a door and looked at the number before opening it. "Yep. This one's ours."
The room was moderately sized. There was a triple bunk bed in one end, a sink and cupboard in another and a few desks against the wall opposite the bed.
"I guess it isn't the biggest there is, but it still looks pretty nice,"
"You said it Jeremy. This'll be great for our first year," Jaden said, as he walked up to the window and pulled the drapes apart.
"Hey! Those we're closed for a reason," a loud voice came from the top bunk.
"Sorry. We didn't see you up there." Jaden apologized.
"Yeah? Well how about know?" A large angry face that looked like a koala stared at the three of them from the top of the bed.
Jaden and Syrus immediately grabbed one another, shouting in fright, while Jeremy simply passed out on the floor.
"Who are you and what are you doing in my room?"
"I'm Jaden Yugi, this is Syrus and on the floor is Jeremy. We're your new roommates."
"Then let me explain to you how it works around here."
"How what works?" Jeremy said, having gotten up.
"The color issue, duh! That's one thing you don't want to forget. There are three kinds of students here. The Obelisk Blues are the highest, then the Ra Yellows and finally, there's us. The Slifer Red flunkies. Were the bottom of the barrel. By the way, I'm Chumley."
"Yeah… Nice to meet you," Jeremy said with little conviction. "Hey guys, I just realized something."
"That Sy's wearing glasses?"
"Not that Jay. As you can see there are three of us and only two beds left."
"Aww man. That's not good. How are we going to work this out?"
As Syrus said this, they heard a knock on the door. "Excuse me, but I'm here to bring you another mattress for the room. Sorry we can't get an actual bed, but the budget for the red dorm isn't too high. So this is the best we can do for you guys."
"That's okay. We'll manage," Jaden replied in his usual happy voice.
They grabbed the mattress and set it down at the foot of the bunk. "Well then, later you three."
"So," Syrus said. "Who gets to sleep on the mattress?"
"Not me." Jaden and Jeremy both said at the same time.
"I'd rather not either."
"Hey I've got an idea."
"Like what Jay?"
"Why don't we duel each other to decide?"
"I'm down with that. Sy?"
"I've got different idea. Why don't we all pick a random monster from our decks and whoever gets the one with the lowest attack points sleeps on the mattress."
"Alright then."
They all pulled their decks from their cases and Jaden took out his card. "I got Sparkman (1600), beat that."
"Piece of cake." Jeremy picked his own. "I got… Hand of the Six Samurai (1600). Ok maybe not."
"Okay." Syrus reached for his card. "I have… Drillroid (1600)."
"I guess we all tied. Let's just all draw another," Jaden proposed. "Mine'll be… Avian (1000)? Oh oh."
"I picked… Gyroid. Aw man."
"This shouldn't be too hard," Jeremy thought to himself. "My card is…"
"Is what Jeremy? Come on out with it."
He showed them his card reluctantly. It was Shadow of the Six Samurai (200). "I'll take the bottom bunk then, Syrus can sleep in the middle and Jeremy gets the mat. Don't worry about it. I'm sure you'll be fine."
After having finished settling into their room, the three of them we're walking inside the academy building and happened upon a dueling arena.
"Wow, this is some cool place."
"No kidding Jay. This rocks."
"It must be amazing to duel here."
"Well Sy, why don't we find out."
"Do you guys think we should?"
"Why not? I mean we're students here and this is our campus."
"Wrong!" They looked around and saw the two Obelisk students standing near them. "This part of the campus belongs to the Obelisk Blues. And Slifer dropouts like you aren't meant to be here."
"Yeah! See that crest?" One of them with hair sticking upward, pointed at a crest with the face of Obelisk the Tormentor. "This arena's our turf."
"Really?" Jeremy said. A sly smile on his face. "Then why don't you guys defend it by dueling us?"
"Hey I recognize them," the Obelisk with the glasses said. "He's the one that beat Erik and the other beat Dr. Crowler. Hey Chazz, that kid who beat Crowler is here."
Chazz walked down the bleachers until he was level with the others. "I guess he must have some skill, if he beat Crowler's legendary monster. Or maybe he just got lucky. I say we find out right now. Me against you."
Jeremy slapped Jaden's back. "You show him Jay."
"This is a strange gathering we have here." They all turned around and saw the Obelisk girl who had spoken.
"Hey Alexis. Have you come to see me mop the floor with my new friend Jaden? I won't be a long duel, be it'll be fun to watch."
"No, I came to remind you about the Obelisk welcome dinner. You'll be late if you don't get there soon."
"Oh yeah! Let's go guys." Chazz passed by Jeremy as he went out. "Don't worry, I saw you little match against Erik and I'll be sure to remember you."
Alexis turned towards the three Slifer boys. "Sorry about that. It isn't all the Obelisks that are like him. He's just a jerk, even more to Slifers."
"Hey no problem, his type doesn't really bother me. Besides, I could beat him in one turn, maybe two, two and a half."
"Are you sure it'd take you that long Jay? I could probably beat him with my eyes closed."
"Um guys? It's good to be sure of yourselves and all, but maybe we should work on the overconfidence issue."
"By the way, the Slifer welcome dinner should be starting soon."
"Good, let's go I'm starving." As if for emphasis, Jeremy and Jaden's stomach's growled a little.
As they began to run back, Jaden turned around. "What was your name again?"
"Alexis Rhodes and yours?"
"I'm Jaden. Later!"
"This is what we get for our welcome dinner?" The Slifer students were sitting in their cafeteria and in front of them were trays with sardines, rice, what looked like gravy with chunks in it and a few pieces of pineapple.
"What's with the cat?" Syrus thought out loud. "I hope he's not really our headmaster."
As he said this, a tall man with long black hair, glasses and wearing a white shirt stepped out of the kitchen. "Hello children. I am professor Banner. I'm also your headmaster. Now before we eat, why don't we all-" Banner stopped as he heard someone eating loudly. Jaden and Jeremy were eating in a way that seemed as if they were having a contest.
"Guys, he's coming over here. I'd rather not be in trouble on my first day."
Banner stopped next to their table and cleared his throat. Jeremy and Jaden momentarily stopped eating and looked at him. They both tried to say their names, but their cheeks were puffed up like chipmunks because of the food, making it impossible to figure out what they wanted to say. "Well I guess not everyone can wait. Let's just all dig in."
"Man I'll tell ya, professor Banner sure can cook," Jaden said, as he rubbed his stomach.
"No kidding. He's almost as good as my dad."
"Care for tea guys?" Syrus offered them mugs that he had just filled.
"Thanks."
"What about you Chumley?"
The only answer he got was Chumley turning around and snoring. They then heard a beeping sound coming from around Jaden. He picked up his PDA which indicated an incoming message. "Hey Slifer slacker." They all saw Chazz's face on the screen. "Don't start thinking I've forgotten. Tonight at midnight we're dueling. And why don't we each put up our best card up for grabs. And unless your friend Jeremy's too scared, bring him with you. I'll have someone waiting for him as well."
"Wicked! Looks like we'll get to duel in that arena after all."
Later Jaden, Jeremy and Syrus were walking down the hall towards the Arena. "If you're dueling Chazz, who do you think I'm up against?" Jeremy asked.
"Maybe one of those two guys that were around him before."
"So you guys actually came? I was afraid you'd run scared." They took notice of Chazz and the two other Obelisks standing on the arena platform.
"No way. I never back down from a challenge."
"Same with me. So who am I going to duel?"
"You'll be against him." Chazz pointed to the larger Obelisk with pointed hair. "Mat. You can take care of this one first. After that though, Jaden's all mine."
Jeremy walked up to his opponent, while the others stayed back. "Hope you're ready to lose, Slifer."
"Of course I'm not. That's because I know I'm going to win this."
"You tell him, Jeremy," Jaden cheered.
"Let's duel." They both activated their disks and drew their cards.
Mat: 4000
Jeremy: 4000
"Since you're worse than me, I'll let you go first."
"Alright then."
Jeremy drew a card and looked at his hand. "I summon Obnoxious Celtic Guardian in attack mode (1400). Then I play two cards face down and give you a shot."
"Your puny little monster won't save you. I play Gearfried the Iron Knight in attack mode (1800). Now go get him."
"I activate Negate Attack. So this stops your knight and ends the battle phase."
"Big deal. I play two Dian Keto the Cure Master to gain a total of 2000 life-points.
Mat: 4000-6000
"Then I end my turn with one face-down."
"My turn. Now this card'll be a big deal for you. Or at least your monster. I play fissure and it destroys your monster with the lowest attack points. But you only have one anyway." A crack appeared underneath Gearfried, which got larger until he fell through.
"Damn. My knight!"
"Obnoxious Celtic guardian, attack him directly."
"You're not the only one with a trap. I activate my own Negate Attack."
"Ah bummer," Jeremy said as his monster's sword was deflected. "Ah well, I'll just finish by throwing down two more face-downs."
"I draw. And I play Pot of Greed to draw two more cards. Then I play two Tremendous Fire magic cards. Each deals 1000 points of damage to you and 500 to me." Flames then surrounded the two duelists, causing their life points to drop.
Mat: 6000-5000
Jeremy: 4000-2000
"And now, meet Injection Fairy Lilly (400). Attack his guardian."
"What up with that? Your monster's only got 400 attack points."
"Yeah but when she's in a battle, by giving up 2000 of my life-points, her attack goes up by 3000. (Injection Fairy Lilly: 400-3400 atk)
Mat: 5000-3000
"Oh no, Jeremy's going to lose."
"Don't count him out yet Syrus."
"Now my fairy, crush his life-points." The little fairy threw her giant syringe at Jeremy's monster.
"I reveal Spirit Barrier. So as long as I have a monster on the field, all battle damage I take is zero."
His Guardian was struck by the flying projectile, yet remained on the field. "Your monster still should have been destroyed."
"Not thanks to his special ability. You see, when he fights a monster with 1900 or more attack points, he can't be destroyed in battle. And since you powered up your fairy, that put her above the limit."
"You're only delaying the inevitable."
"Yeah whatever."
"I play my last card face down and end my turn."
"I draw."
"And I activate Dust Tornado. So I can destroy your Spirit Barrier." A whirlwind appeared around Jeremy's trap card which was shattered. "Now you'll get damage even if your monster can't be destroyed."
"That's not good," Jeremy thought to himself. He then looked at the card he had drawn. "Sweet. With this card, I can't possibly lose."
"Your little fairy's going to need a trip to the doctor's office soon."
"Yeah right! I still have enough life-points to power her up."
"Not after this you won't. I reveal The Paths of Destiny. Now we each flip a coin and if we're lucky enough to get heads, we gain 2000 life points, but if we get tails, well… you can guess what happens."
"This is some risky move. If Mat get's tails, he won't have enough life-points to strengthen his fairy. But if Jeremy get's tails, he'll lose the duel."
"Don't worry Syrus. Something just tells me he'll get exactly what he needs."
Jeremy flipped a coin he had in his pocket as his opponent did the same. "Yes! I got heads."
"NO WAY! I GOT TAILS!"
Mat: 3000-1000
Jeremy: 2000-4000
"Now your monster's defenseless. Obnoxious Celtic Guardian, attack, with silver blade strike." His monster jumped in the air with its sword over its head. He brought his blade down upon the fairy that blew apart when she was hit.
Mat: 1000-0
"And that's what we call game."
"Way to go Jeremy."
"I knew you were going to win."
"Alright then. You may have won Jeremy, but now it's Jaden's turn. And I'm not going to be as easy."
"You can beat this guy Jay."
"Yeah, this time you prove to him that Slifers aren't pushovers."
"Hope you're ready to fork over your best card when you lose.''
"You too. Now get your game on.''
They both activated their disks and drew their cards. "I'll start with reborn zombie in defense mode (1600) and finish off with one card face-down.''
"Now you may want to pay attention, cause I'm gonna take this duel to the next level. I play polymerization to fuse Elemental Hero Avian and Burstinatrix, to bring out Flame Wingman (2100).'' A green and red winged creature with a dragon like head for a right hand appeared on Jaden's field.
"Wow! That is some cool monster,'' Jeremy admired.
"You're so predictable slacker. I activate Chthonian Polymer.''
"Umm, what's that card do?''
"I thought you guys would be here.''
Jeremy and Syrus turned around to see Alexis heading towards them. "Alexis, was it?''
"Chthonian polymer let's you control one of your opponent's fusion monsters by sacrificing one of you own.'' As she explained this to the two boys, Chazz's zombie went to the graveyard as The Flame Wingman left Jaden.
"That's not good. Oh by the way, nice to meet you. My name's Jeremy. Too bad you missed my duel.''
The duel went on. Jaden eventually regained his Wingman but lost it afterwards. When Jaden's turn came, he had 550 life points and no monsters, while Chazz had 1500 left and Mefist the Infernal General in attack mode (1800). Just as he drew his card, they all heard footsteps coming down the corridor.
"Guys, campus security's coming. If they find us here, we'll be in serious trouble.''
"Huh? Why's that,'' Jaden asked. "Aren't we allowed to duel here?''
"The rules say no off hour arena dueling. Chazz know this, but he probably didn't tell you.''
"Come on Chazz. Let's get out of here.''
"But the duel isn't over.''
Chazz deactivated his duel disk. "It's not like you would have won anyway. Your win against Crowler was obviously a fluke.''
"This stinks. I had him right where I wanted.''
Jeremy put his hand on his friend's shoulder. "Sorry you can't finish beating this guy Jay, but you'll probably get to duel him again.''
"Fine then. How do we get out of here?''
The three Slifer boys and Alexis were now in front of the academy, having managed to avoid getting caught. "Thanks for helping us Alexis.''
"No problem. Too bad I missed your duel Jeremy and I'm sorry you didn't get to finish yours Jaden.''
"Don't worry. I would have won even if it hadn't been interrupted. Especially since I'd just drawn this.'' Jaden showed them Monster Reborn. Alexis realized that he could have brought back his Flame Wingman and destroyed Chazz's monster for the win.
"Well, later''
They all started walking back to their respective dorms. "Hey Jeremy.''
"What is it Sy?''
"I was just wondering how you got so lucky in your duel. I mean you could have lost because of a coin toss.''
He took two cards from his deck and showed them to Syrus and Jaden. "You see, I had Bad Reaction to Simochi face-down, which would have made Mat lose life-points even if he would have gotten heads. And if I'd gotten tails, since I had another six samurai in my hand, I could have discarded Shadow of the Six Samurai to reduce my damage to zero.''
"That's funny.''
"What is Jay?''
"You lost our draw for the mattress because of that monster, but he would have ensured your victory if things had of gone wrong with that trap you played.''
"Your right. Let's get back to our room soon shall we?''
They made it to their room and got in their beds and Jeremy on the mattress. As he fell asleep, he thought to himself "Man this was so much fun. I can only hope tomorrow's as good.''
Hope you liked it. Please review, I'll accept anything you write, if it isn't extremely negative or degrading. By the way, I could only find the Japanese name for Chazz's 'friends', so I made one up.
