Alright, third chapter up. I put in an Original Archtype...well, not sure I should really call it that. I'll explain more at the end. Now, onto some reviews.
Unsanmusho- Crowler is in complete control of who goes were, a task given to him by Sheppard who trusts his judgement. It's going to come back and bite him in the ass, make no mistake.
DZ2- Wait until I start on the Abandoned dorm. :)
Alright, here we go!
The dark teen known as Jaden Yuki stood at the bow of the ship, arms crossed and staring at the blue seas. His golden eyes glowed with power, a ghost appearing at his side.
"So?"
"The one known as Chazz Princeton is planning to challenge you to a duel once you land at the academy. However, it will be done late at night." The spirit said, kneeling to the king.
The spirit in question was similar to a Pharaoh of Egypt, but that was in only in dress sense. The entire spirit looked like a golem with a face that would make many run away in fear.
Jaden frowned, shaking his head.
"That idiot thinks that since I've been put in the lowest dorm that I'm a moron. Dueling me at night to get me expelled. Fools! Seto Kaiba designed the dorms with his grudge with Yugi still in place...Slifer was the second most powerful god...I'm half tempted to just use THAT deck against Chazz." Jaden snarled, the spirit recoiling in fear.
It knew what THAT deck was and for the King to use it...well, it would spell doom for anyone caught in its cross-hairs. A sudden shout made Jaden and the spirit in question pause in their musings.
"LAND HO!"
Turning around, Jaden saw the island coming up. He saw a massive structure and knew it was the Academy. Watching as the island grew, he could see the place more clearly.
It was a sandstone color with several obelisks with four domes on top of it in four different colors, red, yellow, blue and finally on the largest dome, white.
Jaden smirked.
It was time.
KODGX
While waiting to disembark from the ship, Jaden kept an eye out for the Princeton boy. He saw him on the island, chatting with the two from before with Marcus trying to butt in from time to time. The glare Marcus got from the three showed that the boy was now on the outs with them.
Good.
Jaden took a step on to the island. The instant he did, his entire world froze and became inverted as power, ancient power, divine power surged up through the island and into him.
KODGX
Deep below the school, three cards laid in darkness. Cards that were like the Gods...but belonging to a different master in a tomb unknown to one being. They served no one...but an Emperor of Darkness. Many had tried to use them, only to meet terrifying ends at the spirits hands.
So they were locked away. Sealed from the light, buried in darkness and earth. But the second Jaden's foot touched the earth, they felt it...power not felt since time immemorial. The spirits of the cards roared in delight, the entire island shaking from their unbound joy.
Their Emperor had been reborn.
And he was here.
KODGX
The island shook for a second, many passing it off as the volcano. But Jaden knew differently. Yubel appeared before him, her three eyes wide in shock.
"Jaden-"
"I know...I felt them. To think...Pegasus and Kaiba...hid them here of all places." Jaden said, a wicked smile crossing his face. "It's not often you know...being chosen by TWO sets of divines."
The entire group of students, after recovering from the quake, were led to the center building and into a massive auditorium. They were separated into their dorms, Jaden standing next to a nervous looking blue haired glasses wearing teen. The screen came on to reveal a bald man in a maroon jacket. The man smiled jovially at the assembled.
"Welcome! You are here as the next generation of elite duelists. Study hard, duel well, and there is nothing that will stop you." The man said.
Jaden mentally scoffed; studying only added to the knowledge in a controlled duel. Actual duels, REAL duels, were full of variables and chance. All it did was come down to the draw...a feat he had long ago mastered. The announcements done, all of the groups all began to disperse or chat with one another, Jaden looking at the crowds of Blues, but opted to instead travel the island, learn the places he could and couldn't go.
Without a look back, Jaden left.
KODGX
Stepping out into the temperate air, Jaden pulled out his PDA that had been given to him. Opening the map app, he first traveled to a seemingly remote location on it. After several minutes of walking, the boy came upon a grandiose dorm with a glass enclosure.
Curiosity getting the better of him, he walked up to edge of the lake to get a better look. A sudden voice made him pause.
"Hey, what are you doing!?"
Turning around, Jaden was met with a group of girls, all bearing angered expressions.
"I'm simply exploring the island, learning where I can and cannot go. Judging by all of you angered ladies, I am correct to assume this is the Ladies' dorm?" Jaden explained in a calm tone.
Many of the girls' expressions soften, but they still held a glare as they nodded. One of them seemed to recognize him and spoke.
"Yeah, you're correct in assuming that, Jasmine's Savior." A girl with purple dyed hair said. "What's your name?"
"Jaden. Jaden Yuki, miss?"
"Alicia Gainsborough...yeah, like Aeris from FF seven." Alicia said, groaning.
Many of the girls all laughed and Jaden did chuckle. Some did still distrust the boy, but saving one of their own and pointing out something they didn't even think earned him some good points. A blonde, redhead, and black haired moved to the front, Jaden's eyes catching the redhead.
"Ah, Miss Fairbrooks. I hope your...incident didn't sour your arrival here."
Jasmine blushed a bit and shook her head. Jaden explained to the three why he was here and what he was doing. Hearing the explanation made the three smile.
"Not a bad idea. I'm Alexis, you already know Jasmine. This is Mindy." Alexis said, introducing herself and the black haired.
"A pleasure. I am Jaden Yuki." Jaden said again, taking their hands and kissing the back of them making many of the girls around them giggle at the blushes the three now sported.
"Alright, Casanova, what dorm do you belong in?" Alicia asked, crossing her arms.
"Slifer Red...sadly."
Hearing the dorms name made a few girls gain a look of disgust, but the rest were shocked.
"Not Blue? After that beatdown you gave Crowler?" Jasmine exclaimed, shocked.
Jaden nodded and explained that it was his win over Crowler that led him to the red dorms given Crowler abusing the system. The girls all assembled all scowled and nodded.
"Well, hopefully, with enough time and studying, you'll be Blue. Don't think all of us look down on Slifers." Alexis said with a smile.
"Indeed. I'm glad some seem to have some common sense." Jaden said, noticing a group of boys approaching. "It seems we have trouble coming."
The group of girls all turned to see the large group coming and all shuffled away. At the head of the group was a boy with hair that was spiked to one side. A duel spirit appeared at Jaden's side, much to Alexis', Jasmine, and Mindy's shock. The spirit told Jaden that the boy approaching was Chazz Princeton and here to talk with Alexis Rhodes. Nodding, Jaden moved toward the boy, several Blues trying to stop him.
Keyword being trying.
Every time one of the blues got close, they were sent backwards by an unknown force; not enough to make them fall onto their back, but to make them skid back. Chazz stopped and watched Jaden come before the golden eyed teen was standing before him.
"Why are you talking with these girls and what do you want, Slifer Scum?" Chazz snarled.
The insult didn't do anything to Jaden, but Yubel and the rest of the spirits saw the tightening of the jaw, knowing that he was getting rather annoyed.
"I understand you want to duel me, so here I am." Jaden said, his voice neutral.
Chazz was taken aback; true, he did want to duel the kid before him, but at night and after curfew so that the kid would get in trouble. Someone had told him...could it have been Jasmine? The girl was in the kid's debt after all.
"Tch, like he'd waste time with a loser like you." A glasses wearing teen at the right side of Chazz snapped.
"I destroyed Marcus and your headmaster...how exactly am I, as you put it, 'a loser'?" Jaden retorted.
The people around them had no answer. Due to many of them watching the duel on the boat and at the exams knew that this guy was serious.
Now Chazz would had simply walked away, anyone could. But there was a problem: too many eyes on him. Knowing that this kid would say something and knowing it would be taken as truth, it would tarnish his budding reputation.
If he had any hope of making himself out as the best of the school, he couldn't just 'walk away'. Many would question how he got to be blue even more so if he did that. Stating that it was his family name and wealth that got him in.
Even being a junior champion, many would call that into doubt as well. Saying that his brother bribed his opponents to take a dive thus letting him win. Untrue, but it would still ruin him.
So Chazz did the one thing he could do.
He put on his duel disk.
"Get ready to get schooled, punk." Chazz said snidely.
Jaden didn't reply, simply bring out his disk and choosing a deck that had several chains on it.
"Be grateful Chazz Princeton...I actually consider you a more decent duelist then Crowler or Marcus. So, I will use this deck...this deck of the Forbidden One."
Hearing the name made many of the gathered students gasp and begin to speak. Even Chazz froze for a second; the Forbidden One? This kid had those cards?! Shaking off his building fear, Chazz glared.
Chazz: 8000/Jaden: 8000
"I'll start this off if you don't mind!" Chazz said.
Drawing a card, he looked over his entire hand before selecting one of the cards.
"I'll summon my Chthonian Soldier in attack mode!"
(Chthonian Soldier - LV/****, Attribute/DARK, ATK/1200, DEF/ 1400, Type/Warrior/Effect. When this card is destroyed by an opponent's attacking monster and sent to the Graveyard, the Battle Damage you took from this battle is also inflicted to your opponent.)
A man clad in dark armor and wielding a sword appeared next to Chazz, snarling. Jaden merely quirked an eyebrow as Chazz continued.
"I'll set two cards facedown and end my turn."
Chazz's hand size: 3
Wordlessly, Jaden drew his card and looked at it.
Jaden's Hand size: 6
"I'll start by playing my Card Destruction spell."
(Card Destruction-Type/Spell/Normal. Each player discards their entire hand, then draws the same number of cards they discarded.)
Both duelists threw out their hands, Jaden drawing five new cards and Chazz drawing three. Choosing another card, the golden eye teen revealed it.
"I now play Spellbook inside the pot. This allows both of us to draw an additional three cards."
Chazz drew his three and looked at them. Jaden did the same, adding them to his hand and selecting another.
Chazz's Hand Size: 6
Jaden's Hand Size: 7
"I activate Magical Stone excavation, sending these two cards to the grave to regain my Spellbook." Jaden said taking said spell.
Jaden's hand size: 4
"I'll then play Destruction."
(Destruction-Type/Spell/Normal. Your opponent discards 1 card to the graveyard.)
Chazz's scowl grew as he discarded one card making his hand go down to five. Jaden revealed another card in his hand.
"I play Card of Sancity. Now both of us draw until we have six cards in our hand." Jaden said, drawing another two while Chazz drew one card.
A bright glow came from his graveyard and Jaden smirked.
"I activate the spell card Ritual of the Ultimate Forbidden Lord from my grave."
(Ritual of the Ultimate Forbidden Lord-Type/Spell/Normal. You can activate this card while there are 5 different "Forbidden One" cards in your hand or Graveyard. Return all "Forbidden One" cards in your Graveyard to your Deck. Discard 2 "Forbidden One" cards from your hand to the Graveyard, and Special Summon 1 "Exodius the Ultimate Forbidden Lord" from your hand or Deck. (The Deck is then shuffled.) While this card is in the Graveyard and "Exodius the Ultimate Forbidden Lord" is on your side of the field, when a "Forbidden One" card(s) is sent to the Graveyard by a card effect, except by the effect of "Exodius the Ultimate Forbidden Lord", return that card(s) to the Deck)
Five cards were returned to the deck and a single card was chosen. Jaden then tossed out another two cards and a lookalike of Exodia the Forbidden one rose up.
Jaden's Hand size: 4
"Allow me to introduce you to Exodius the Ultimate Forbidden Lord."
Rising up from darkness, a darker and tanner looking version of Exodia stepped onto the field. It gave out a loud roar as a golden glow surrounded it.
(Exodius The Ultimate Forbidden Lord – LV/**********, Attribute/DARK, ATK/?, DEF/0, Type/Spellcaster/Effect. This card cannot be Special Summoned except by the effect of "Ritual of the Ultimate Forbidden Lord". This card cannot be destroyed by battle. This card is unaffected by the effects of Spells, Traps, and Effect Monsters controlled by your opponent. When this card attacks, send 1 "Forbidden One" monster from your hand or Deck to the Graveyard. This card gains 1000 ATK for each "Forbidden One" monster in your Graveyard. If there are 5 different "Forbidden One" monster cards in your Graveyard, you win the Duel.)
Exodius – ATK/2000
Many of the new students exclaimed in shock at the sight of the monster and its power. Jaden selected another card.
"Next, I play Exodia the Sealed One in attack mode."
Jaden's Hand Size: 3
Hearing the name made many duelists, including Chazz, confused. Exodia the Sealed One?
A torso without any arms or legs appeared, its eyes glowing. Surrounding the torso was several black chains.
It looked liked Exodia, but it was gray in color instead of Sand.
(Exodia the Sealed One – LV/****, Attribute/DARK, ATK/1000, DEF/1000, Type/Spellcaster/Effect. This card's name is treated as "Exodia the Forbidden One" while it is on the field or in the graveyard.)
"The Sealed pieces of Exodia are a new creation of Pegasus. Unlike Exodia, it does not grant me an instant win but there are other means to use them. This is how Exodius has his power, Mister Princeton. Exodius gains power for each forbidden piece monster in the graveyard. I have two. The Sealed Right Arm of the Forbidden One and Sealed Left Leg. Due to their effects, while in the Graveyard, the names are treated as the Right arm of the Forbidden and Left Leg of the Forbidden one." Jaden explained.
"Okay, that clears up some, but not all. Why summon that weakling?" Chazz asked, pointing at the Sealed Exodia.
"Easy. I'm sacrificing him to special summon this." Jaden said, the Exodia vanishing in a swirl. "Arise, Exodia the Summoned One!"
Jaden's Hand size: 1
(Exodia the Summoned One – LV/**********, Attribute/DARK, ATK/?, DEF/0, Type/Spellcaster/Effect. Cannot be Normal Summoned/Set. Must be Special Summoned (from your hand) by Tributing 1 "Forbidden One" monster, and cannot be Special Summoned by other ways. This card gains 1000 ATK for each "Forbidden One" monster in your Graveyard. Unaffected by other cards' effects. Once per turn, during your End Phase: Add 1 "Forbidden One" monster from your Graveyard to your hand. When this card is destroyed by battle and sent to the Graveyard: You can reveal any number of "Forbidden One" monsters in your hand, and if you do, draw 1 card for each.)
A large golem in the shape of a Egyptian king appeared in a sand storm, rising up with a fierce roar. Once it was fully formed, it stood level with Exodius.
Exodia TSO - ATK/3000
Exodius - ATK/3000
Chazz stared down the two monsters, his jaw tightening. This wasn't what he was expecting, but he could work with it...all he needed was for Jaden to attack and that would be that! His facedowns would net him the duel.
Jaden though didn't become a dueling force by being reckless. He had already taken into account the two cards. Crossing his arms, Jaden stared.
"You're no doubt trying to use Inferno Reckless Summon and a Call of the haunted combo. A classic move, but only works if I attack. I'll play my Spellbook once more."
The two drew three cards, Jaden playing one instantly.
"I'll use my Mystical Space Typhoon to clear away the card on your left."
The twister of magic sucked up the card, revealing it to be Call of the Haunted alright. Choosing his second card, he placed it in his S/T zone.
"I'll then play my lightning vortex spell, discarding this spell card of mine. Say good by to your Soldier."
Jaden's Hand Size: 0
Streaks of lightning crashed down on the soldier, making it scream in pain before exploding. Chazz covered his face, snarling. Jaden's cold eyes stared and everyone around them gasped. No Call of the haunted meant no way to save himself from the attacks. Jaden sighed.
"So disappointing...I was expecting more from the Junior Champion, but I guess I got my hopes up too high...again. Exodius...attack."
The Exodia monster charged, roaring. A glow came from Jaden's deck, revealing the Right arm of the Forbidden one before it was sucked into the grave. Chazz's eyes went wide as Exodius became buffer.
Exodius – ATK/4000
"When Exodius attacks, I can send one piece of the forbidden one from my hand or deck to the grave." Jaden explained.
The ghostly figure of the card appeared, disappearing into the attacking monster. It struck Chazz squarely, its fist making an indentation around the blue.
Chazz: 4000/Jaden: 8000
"Legendary Exodia...OBLITERATE."
The summoned one gathered energy in its hands, much its predecessor. Once the orb was formed, it threw its arms forward, expelling the power. Chazz stared at the encroaching attack, yelling. The blast washed over him and there was only white.
The explosion that came about blew back gusting winds, making many students cover their faces and the cloak of Jaden's to whip back, his face stoic.
Chazz: 0/Jaden 8000
"...tch...once again, I am disappointed before this term even begins." Jaden coldly stated, turning off his disk and walking away from the kneeling Chazz.
Chazz watched him go, several of the gathered students now talking in hushed tones.
Three times...three times that kid dueled top blues and decimated them. Chazz gritted his teeth. He would make that Slifer PAY.
KODGX
Zane Truesdale watched what had unfolded from the treeline, his eyes wide in shock. He knew...he knew that cloaked boy now. If the eyes hadn't told him, it was the Exodia deck.
He had seen it in action his second year; the teacher of the time, Professor Hector of Duel Monster Designs had taken them to a match up of pros on the mainland. The duels had been intense and exciting...until he walked in. Zane could feel the entire arena and every duelist there freeze the second he entered.
Zane remembered it clearly; an armored wearing duelist walking in, a helmet and faceplate down. Every duelist there gave the walking figure a healthy berth, both out of fear and respect.
A newcomer to the pro leagues though didn't and snidely told the armored duelist to go back to the freak show.
Everyone stopped what they were doing and watched the interaction, the pros faces all showing looks of terror. Many of them in the area got clear. The students watched with interest. The armored duelist didn't say a thing...save for raising his duel disk.
The newcomer did the same.
Zane would never forget that duel. The armored duelist overrode anything and everything that the newcomer did while not taking any damage. Then he summoned them.
First was Exoidus, followed by Exodia the Summoned one. Alone, those two were powerful in their own right. But then he play it; the final spell.
Contract with the Forbidden one.
Exodia Necross joined the two and the duel went downhill from there. Needless to say...the newcomer never saw the pros after that loss. As the armored duelist walked away, a chilling voice echoed out from behind the helmet.
"Next time you want to boast...make sure that the Supreme King is not in the area."
"Crowler...you imbecile. No one insults the Supreme King of the Ring and has their dueling career intact." Zane muttered, knowing that this year was about to get very hairy.
KODGX
After his duel, Jaden continued his exploring of the island. He found the Ra Yellow dorms and the elected leader of the dorm, Bastion Misawa. The two exchanged greetings and Jaden requested where the Slifer Dorm was located. Bastion, shocked at the boy who defeated Crowler AND scored higher then him on the written exam, did direct the young king to the dorms.
"But a quick question before you go, Jaden." Bastion asked, making the boy stop and turn back. "Why not Blue?"
"Because the man in charge of the exams is a pompous, wannabe of a duelist who cannot stand his pride being burst apart like a balloon." Jaden answered with a straight face.
The description and answer had Bastion smile and nod.
"Yes, Doctor Crowler is rather...prideful. I will have to construct a deck to counteract all of yours."
The statement brought a smile to Jaden's face.
"All I have to say is good luck. You will need it." Jaden said, walking away in the direction of the red dorm.
KODGX
Jaden had arrived and saw the dorm. To say he was upset would put it mildly.
He was livid.
The dorm was old and the foundations cracking. The roof sported several holes in it and there were several windows that were cracked. Though there was one good thing about the dorm, it was the view of the sea, but even that did nothing to calm the young reincarnated king.
"Kaiba...you allowed this rivalry with Yugi to grow out of control! I will not stand for a dorm of the god monsters to be so shabby! Mark my words, if that overpuffed fool of an ex-duelist comes, I will make my displeasure known."
"You always know how to get me all hot and bothered, Judai..." Yubel said, appearing next to him with her hands on his shoulder.
Jaden sighed, walking to where he heard voices.
"This is our welcome dinner? Its just one sardine and some rice!"
"Think that's bad? Looks like our headmaster is a cat!"
Jaden opened the door and all conversation stopped. A tall, lanky built man with glasses chose that moment to enter as well.
"Hello, everyone. I am Professor Lyman Banner, Headmaster of the Slifer dorm and teacher of Fusion. Ah, I see our wayward student has returned. Please, introduce yourself." Banner said with a kind smile.
Jaden looked all around the room, many watching him.
"I am Jaden Yuki. And you all...are now in Hell. A hell which I rule. Let me make the pecking order perfectly clear around here; it goes you, the dirt, the worms inside the dirt, shit, Professor Banner and finally...me. You got an issue with it, meet me out here with your duel disk." Jaden said much to the orgasmic delight of Yubel.
Many of the jaws dropped at the sheer audacity of the boy before them. Banner smiled widely.
"Finally...someone who has a pair!" Banner chuckled.
"No complaints? Good. Eat up and rest up...since tomorrow is Saturday, I will be spending it whipping you Slifers into shape! This was the King of Games second Ace monster and I will not stand for this travesty of being called 'WEAK' by those who thinks the world owes them. I'm going to make you ALL duelists that he would be proud of!"
Every one of the reds felt a fire ignite in them and started to cheer. Banner's grin grew even wider.
"Someone who has a very big pair."
Yes, in one single minute, Jaden Yuki had made himself the Alpha of the Red Dorm.
The Sealed pieces of Exodia were an idea that hit me when I was looking at some cards on YGOPro like Exodius. One of them was Exodia the Summoned One and its effect allowed it to gain 1000 ATK for each piece in the grave. There's only five pieces in real life so I made the Sealed pieces.
Their effects are pretty standard and weak enough that everyone in the Anime would pass over them. Basically, they work like the Harpie Ladies 1, 2, and 3 cards. Well, hope this was a beatdown you all wanted to see. Next chapter is a bit of a filler.
