Darkness and Light, Into the Chaos!

Sora sighed as he watched the waves go by on the ship deck. Though, he felt far more at ease with the wind going through his hair, pulling at his Ra Yellow blazer. "This is really happening." he muttered, glancing over to where Jaden and his new friend, Syrus, were standing next to him. "Though, I still say that Crowler guy needs to chill." he added, noticing his friend's Slifer Red blazer.

"Meh, it's cool. It's not like I did great on the written test anyway." Jaden shrugged off.

"That what you told the Yandere Dragon Girl to keep her from killing him?" Sora teased.

"I am NOT a Yandere!" Yubel huffed, appearing next to her beloved Jaden.

"Yandere Dragon Girl? Who are you talking about?" Syrus asked.

Right, he can't see duel spirits. Jaden recalled, laughing nervously. "Um, how to explain this? She's my girlfriend, but..." he tried explaining.

"She's a duel spirit. My girlfriend is one as well." Sora cut in.

"Y-you're kidding, right?" Syrus asked, looking at the pair as if each had grown a second head.

"Eh... nope?" Jaden replied uncertainly. "I can try to show you, if you want." he offered.

"Better let me do it." Sora suggested. "You're still a bit inexperienced with this."

And who's fault is that? Jaden thought dryly.

"N-no. That's okay. You guys don't have to prove anything." Syrus replied, waving his hands in front of him. Both duelists looked at their short companion. "I admit, it's hard to believe, but you guys don't seem to be making it up, so I have no reason to not believe you." he explained nervously. Both smiled, Jaden thanking Syrus for being so understanding.

...

"I'm bored." Sora complained, pushing off the railing. "Let's go find something to do." he suggested.

"I heard there's some dueling going on by the pool." Jaden supplied.

"I'd ask if you only had dueling in mind, but it's you we're talking about." Yubel quipped, causing Sora to chuckle.

"W-well, what about the dining hall? There's bound to be someone there."

I do remember that Bastion guy heading there a few minutes ago. Jaden thought. "Alright, let's do that then!" he suggested. The trio nodded before heading into the ship.

It took all of five minutes to find the room in question, and all of ten seconds to find Bastion as he was dueling another Ra. Or rather, he had just finished dueling a Ra as his Vorse Raider slashed him. "And that's that. Well done." Bastion said, shaking his classmate's hand. "If you ever want a rematch, be sure to come find me."

"Heya Bastion!" Jaden called, waving as the trio came over.

"Ah, hello Jaden. And Syrus and Sora I see. I was wondering where you all had gotten off to." Bastion greeted with a smile. "Care for a bite before we dock?"

"That's why we're here." Jaden laughed. "That and maybe to have a duel."

"You wanna duel, Slifer Slime? How about dueling me?" came an arrogant voice. The four duelists turned to see an Obelisk student glaring at them. He crossed his arms, chuckling darkly. "It always helps to teach the scum their place before the year starts."

"How interesting, we're in agreement." Yubel hissed, glaring daggers at the boy.

"Behave, Yubel." Jaden warned before smiling. "Alright then. Get your game on!" he said while activating his duel disk.

"Duel!"

Jaden:4000

Obelisk:4000

"I'll go first." he declared, drawing a card. Black Ptera. he noted, checking his hand. Alright! I got Mystic Tomato too! "Now to put em to use! I summon this in defense mode and play a card facedown. Then I'll turn it over to you."

"Alright then, here we go." the Obelisk chuckled, drawing. "I play Double Summon so I can summon twice this turn. I summon my two Magician's Valkyria(ATK:1600x2). Now Valkyria one, attack that facedown!"

Jaden smirked as his Mystic Tomato was destroyed. "I activate a trap! Hero Signal! Now, since you destroyed a monster, I can special summon my Elemental Hero Avian in defense mode(DEF:1000)!" the green-clad HERO took a knee in front of Jaden. "And not only that, since you destroyed my Mystic Tomato, I can summon a DARK monster with 1500 or less attack points. I summon my ever-loyal companion, Yubel(ATK:0)!" Yubel appeared in all her demonic glory, smiling evilly at the Obelisk.

The Obelisk took one look and laughed. "That freak doesn't even have any attack points! Valkyria two, take it down!" The second monster on his field nodded, firing a magic blast.

"You just triggered Yubel's ability! Not only can she not be destroyed by battle, but the damage I would've taken is directed right back to you!" Jaden informed. Yubel's third eye glowed, forming a barrier in front of her that the attack bounced off of. The energy beam shot back toward the Obelisk, striking him in the chest.

Obelisk:4000-2400

"I... play a facedown and end my turn." the Obelisk ground out.

"My move then." Jaden declared, drawing. "First up, I play Polymerization! Now I can fuse the Elemental Hero Avian in my field with the Elemental Hero Bustinatrix in my hand to summon Elemental Hero Flame Wingman(ATK:2100)!" From within the fusion portal, the green-and-black hero with the dragon maw for a right hand emerged. Jaden smiled at the sight of the familiar monster before turning his attention back to the task at hand. "Now I summon Black Ptera(ATK:1000)." the black dinasour appeared with a somewhat cute roar. "Now, I know I can't attack while both of your Valkyria are in play, so I'll end my turn for now and Yubel's ability activates. I sacrifice my Black Ptera to keep her on the field." a black smoke enveloped Ptera as it vanished. "But here's the catch, when Black Ptera is sent to the graveyard by anything but battle, I can add it back to my hand." he added, retrieving the monster from his graveyard.

Damn it! With that card in his hand, he can keep summoning it and just keep summoning it to keep that bitch out. I need to get rid of it. AND his Flame Wingman! the Obelisk thought angrily. "I draw!" he declared, doing just that. He grinned. "I play Dark Hole. Now every monster on the field is destroyed!"

Jaden smirked as he watched his monsters get sucked into the spell, noticing his girlfriend was doing the same. "You activated Yubel's ability!" he called.

"Another ability?" The Obelisk asked, shocked.

"When she's destroyed by anything other than her own effect, I can summon from my deck Yubel-Terror Incarnate!" he explained, yelling the last part as Yubel flew out of the Dark Hole. But instead of the demonic looking humanoid, she had turned to her two-headed dragon form with the giant eye in the center of her chest(ATK:0).

"She still doesn't have any attack points." the Obelisk noted, but if what my gut is telling me is right, that's not gonna matter real soon. "I summon this in defense mode and end my turn." he declared, setting a monster. Alright, with my Old Vindictive Magician, not only will I only lose a few life points, but I can destroy that dragon. he figured

Yubel chuckled, an unearthly sound from the twin-mouths of the dragon. "How cute, he thinks he's safe with that little facedown." she mocked. "Jaden, my love. Kindly dissuade him of that notion." she requested.

"You got it, babe. I draw!" Jaden declared, drawing.

"They're planning something." Sora muttered.

"Huh? What do you mean, Sora?" Bastion asked, eager to find out about a card he had never heard of.

"Let's just say Yubel isn't done going through some changes." Sora replied, waiting for the slaughter. "Poor fool doesn't realize just how screwed he is."

"Sweet!" Jaden cheered, catching everyone's attention. "First I play Monster Reborn. This'll let me bring back my Elemental Hero Burstinatrix(ATK:1200). And now I can play Burst Return! When I have a Burstinatrix on my field, all monsters return to their owner's hands." Syrus wasn't sure, but he thought he had seen Yubel grin as she returned to her beloved's hand with Flame Wingman and Burstinatrix. The Obelisk snarled as his monster was returned to his own hand. "And now Yubel's ability activates! When her Terror Incarnate form leaves the field, I can summon Yubel-The Ultimate Nightmare(ATK:0)!" Yubel reappeared, but now she had not only the two dragon heads, but two arms, a face in her chest, and two legs. Yubel roared in triumph as she appeared.

The students around him shrank away in terror. Jaden just smiled. "Beautiful." he whispered. "Now I play O-Oversoul, allowing me to resummons my Elemental Hero Avian(ATK1000)!" Avian appeared, arms folded and standing ready. "Now I summon Elemental Hero Sparkman(ATK:1600)." Sparkman appeared opposite Avian with a similar pose. "Time to end this! Avian, Sparkman, direct attack!" Avian threw his feathers, Sparkman shot his shockwave, and the Obelisk was knocked on his ass.

Obelisk:2400-1400-0

"That's game." Jaden declared with his signature pose. Turning to Yubel, he smiled. "Thanks Yubel, couldn't have done it without you." he said.

"Flatterer." Yubel replied before fading out.

"Good show Jaden." Bastion complimented.

"Way to play, Jay!" Syrus cheered.

"Nice work, Jaden." Sora grinned, glancing at the Obelisk. "Did she hurt him much?"

"Give me some credit." Yubel huffed.

"Whatever you Yandere Dragon Girl." Sora waved off, turning to the buffet.

"I AM NOT A YANDERE!" Yubel shrieked. Sora just laughed as he grabbed a plate.

And done! We'll be getting to Duel Academy next chapter, and introducing one of my top 5 favorites. Though, he only got to be there after the whole Light of Destruction fiasco. Before that he was an ass. So what did people think? Good? Bad? Not enough? Leave a review and I'll see you next time!

PS. Guest reviewer, I honestly thought Eatos was a dude until you said something. Mine never corrected me.
