Hello all Storm here with a new chapter! Here we'll be seeing Naruto arriving at duel Academy and meeting several of the other students, along with a few surprises. So, without further ado.
I own nothing
Naruto exited the Academy after having been fitted into his Slifer Red Uniform. Though he waved off receiving an Academy-issued Duel Disk, preferring to stick with his Solid Light one instead.
When he had gotten his first look at Duel Academy, he was amazed by the view and it only made him even more excited for when he gets the chance to duel some of the other students, something his decks shared, wanting to show their power also.
Once all the helicopters and boats had arrived, all the new students were ushered into the Academy, where Chancellor Sheppard welcomed them all, before they were assigned to their dorms.
Though as he exited the Academy, Naruto caught sight of Bastion, Syrus, and Jaden near the entrance. They seemed to be talking, but Naruto couldn't hear what they were saying, getting closer he was able to hear what they were saying.
"So what?! Did you ever think that I was colorblind?!" Jaden questioned with an annoyed expression, making Bastion and Syrus blink.
"Are you colorblind?" Asked Naruto, while walking up to three and getting their attention.
"Ahaha, no. But I could have been. Hey, you're that guy you that dueled Crowler after me. That was a sweet duel!" Jaden said, giving Naruto a thumbs up, while Naruto gave a nod and a smile in return.
"Thanks, you did pretty good with your Elemental Heroes, as well. I've already met Bastion and Syrus, but I don't think we've been introduced yet. I'm Naruto Uzumaki." Replied Naruto, holding his hand out, which Jaden took and shook.
"I'm Jaden Yuki. Nice to meet ya." Jaden said with a grin.
Before anything else could be said, Naruto and Jaden's decks began glowing, though only they could see it, and from them, Dark Magician Girl and Winged Kuriboh appeared.
"Kuri, Kuriboh, kuri!"
"Hey Winged Kuriboh, good to see you again! I guess that Yugi found the right duelist to give you to, huh."
Winged Kuriboh nodded, before he began flying around, with Dark Magician Girl chasing after him.
Naruto smiled as the two Duel Spirits played, while surprised to hear that Jaden met Yugi and received Winged Kuriboh from him. But Naruto knew if Yugi gave Jaden that card, he was meant to have it. And looking Jaden, he saw that he was looking at the two spirits, also.
'So, he can see Duel Monster Spirits as well.' Naruto thought.
Naruto was right, Jaden could see Duel Spirits and was surprised when both Winged Kuriboh and Dark Magician Girl appeared and started playing. Though he gained a solemn look when Dark Magician Girl flew over behind Naruto and wrapped her arms around his neck.
It reminded him of a card he used to have. It was one of the first cards that he's ever had, but he had to send it away to help… her.
"Hey Jaden, are you alright?" Syrus asked, having seen his friend's expression, while Naruto and Bastion also took notice of the look on his face.
"Hm, oh yeah, I'm good! Just a little bummed out, since we haven't learned when we'll get to start dueling." Jaden said, grinning in his usual joyful manner, with Syrus and Bastion nodding in acceptance.
Naruto, though, saw through Jaden's act and saw the mask he was wearing. Given he wore one for most of his life, he could tell when someone else was wearing one, as well.
Though he didn't call him out on it, figuring it was a private matter and wasn't any of his business.
"By the way, Naruto how did you get the Dark Magician Girl? I thought only Yugi had that card." Syrus said, having been eager to ask the question the moment Naruto summoned the famous Spellcaster against Crowler.
"Yeah, he did. But he gave her to me after I was finally able to defeat both him and Kaiba in a duel." Naruto revealed, much to the shock of the two Slifers and Ra students.
"You, you beat Yugi Muto and Seto Kaiba?!" Bastion asked in amazement, while now feeling like any strategy he'd come with to challenge Naruto would be useless.
This made Jaden even more excited to duel someone who's beaten two of the strongest duelist around. While Syrus believed that Naruto could even rival his brother Zane, after hearing this.
"Yeah, but don't think it was anything great. I had study up on all their past duels, their strategies, and all the cards in their decks, before I even considered challenging them. Even then, I only won by the luck of the draw. After that, I've lost all the other times I've dueled them." Naruto said, not wanting them to think he was better than Yugi or Kaiba, because he wasn't.
He may have been able to beat them, but it was only once. With them having long since gotten stronger and adapted to both his decks. After all, Yugi and Kaiba never lose to the same opponent twice, as they always manage to adapt from their defeats and come out victorious in their rematches.
The only opponents that they lose consistently to, is each other. Which is a given, with all the times they've dueled and memorized each other's strategies and cards.
Naruto was just lucky that Yugi didn't have the God Cards anymore, since he would have definitely lost then. Kaiba, though, had no such restrictions with using all of his different Blue-Eyes White Dragon cards.
"Still, the fact you managed to defeat those two, I'm surprised you aren't at least in Ra Yellow." Bastion said calmly, relieved at hearing Naruto's words, though he was still surprised, since someone of his skill should at the very least being in Ra Yellow, if not Obelisk Blue.
"Kaiba actually offered to put me straight in Obelisk Blue, but I turned it down. I wanted to start at the bottom and work my way up through the ranks. If I enter a different dorm, I want it to be because I earned it by proving it through dueling, and not because I was given the rank." Naruto said.
That made the three nod, while feeling their respect for the blonde go up. Especially since he must have a very large shadow casted over him, due to being the student of the King of Games.
"Well, I must be off, it was pleasure meeting you, Naruto." Bastion said with a nod, which Naruto returned.
"See ya around the dorm, Bastion!" Said Jaden, believing they'd all be in the same dorm.
"I wouldn't be too sure; your dorm is over there." Bastion stated, pointing towards where the Slifer Red dorm was located.
This made the three Slifers look to where there dorm is, before walking over to see what it looked like.
*Later*
"This isn't a dorm. It's like an outhouse with a deck." Syrus complained, looking at the Slifer dorm and seeing how small it was.
"Are you kidding? Check out the view this place has." Said Jaden, looking out over the ocean.
Naruto simply chuckled sheepishly when he first saw the red dorm.
While they may have become friends, or respective rivals, as Kaiba would never admit to being friends with Yugi, the Blue-Eyes duelist still couldn't resist making a jab at the King of Games. Since Slifer was the God Card that Yugi was most known for. Just like how Kaiba was most known for Obelisk using, while Marik was known for being the original owner of Ra.
'Still, it has its own charm to it, and I'd take a simply dorm over some giant fancy mansion, anytime.' Naruto thought with a smile.
After checking out the dorm a bit more, which wasn't much, the three headed to their rooms with Jaden and Syrus sharing one, with Naruto's being at the end of the second floor.
Knocking on the door, as his PDA said that he'll be roommates with another first year student, and Naruto didn't want to just barge in.
"Just a minute!" A voice said through the door.
Waiting a little bit, Naruto heard some shuffling going on inside as he waited, before finally it was opened. The person inside was a short boy, wearing the standard Slifer Red uniform, along with a large hat on their head. Seeing who his roommate was made Naruto sweatdrop, as they seemed a little young to be at Duel Academy.
"Aren't you a little young to be attending Duel Academy?" Naruto asked, much to the kid's annoyance.
"No, I'm not! I skipped a few grades and was able to enter early! Plus, I'll be twelve in a few months!" Said the kid, crossing his arms with a huff.
That made Naruto chuckle lightly, figuring the kid had to be a good duelist and really smart to have gotten in.
"Well, I'm Naruto Uzumaki, your new roommate." Naruto introduced, with the kid's eyes widening in shock and horror.
'AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!' They mentally screamed.
Understandable, given that SHE now had a boy as her roommate!
"Hey, you alright?" Naruto asked, having seen her expression.
"Fi-fine! I'm perfectly fine! N-nice to meet you, I-I'm Blair, Blair Flannigan." Blair said quickly, while trying to regain her composure, knowing that she'll need to hide some of her stuff, so he didn't find out she's a girl.
Naruto narrowed his eyes suspiciously, since "he" responded a little too quickly and acted strangely when he said he was "his" roommate. Though he didn't call "him" out on it, since "he" didn't seem like a threat or dangerous. But he'll make sure to keep an eye on "him", just in case.
Though they suddenly jumped in shock at hearing two loud screams, Naruto being able to recognize them as Jaden and Syrus.
"What was that?!" Blair asked in shock, while also forgetting to disguise her voice.
Thankfully, Naruto didn't notice as he ran towards Jaden and Syrus's room, worried that something might have happened to them. Blair considered following him, since she was curious about source and reason of the screams, but decided it'd be a good opportunity to hide her more feminine stuff.
Reaching the room, Naruto ran in.
"Hey, is everything alright?!" Naruto asked, while looking for any signs of a threat.
"Wha- oh, sorry about that Naruto." Syrus said sheepishly.
"Ehehe, yeah sorry. We thought for a second that our roommate was a Des Koala." Added Jaden, with Naruto sweatdropping at hearing the reason for their screams.
Though looking at said the roommate, Naruto had to admit that he did look a little like a koala.
"Oh well, that's good. I thought something happened." Naruto said in relief.
"Well, it's all good. By the way, I'm Jaden Yuki." Jaden said to his and Syrus's roommate.
"I'm Syrus." Introduced Syrus.
"Ugh, Chumley Huffington." Chumley said reluctantly, before looking at Naruto and his eyes widened in recognition.
"Hey, aren't you Naruto Uzumaki, the King of Games student. What're you doing in the Slifer Red Dorm, wearing Slifer Red?!" Chumley asked, surprised to see the King of Game's student wearing red.
"I asked to be put in the Slifer dorm." Naruto answered.
This shocked Chumley, not only was Yugi Muto's student in Slifer Red, he asked to be put here!
"Uh, what's wrong with being Slifer?" Syrus asked, with Chumley scoffing as he looked up at the ceiling.
"You guys are clearly new, if you don't know how things work. The students here are divided into three groups; Obelisk Blue, Ra Yellow, and Slifer Red. The Blues are the highest rank, either because of their grades or their connections, while the Yellows are the second highest, mostly students with lots of potential. Then there's us, the Red Wonders." Chumley explained.
"The Wonders? That's a cool name." Syrus said, not seeing the problem, only for Chumley tell him why.
"As in, I wonder how flunkies like us ever got this far. Sorry to disappoint, but we're the bottom of the barrel. Well except him, by all rights he should be Yellow or Blue." Chumley said, while pointing at Naruto.
"That's stupid." Naruto stated, getting their attention.
"What do you mean?" Jaden asked.
"That the color of your jacket or what dorm you're in shouldn't determine your skills as a duelist. The only thing that should matter is believing in yourself and your deck. That's what really matters in a duel, not what grades you have or what connections you have. The only thing that stops a duelist from growing is not believing in themselves. What about you Chumley, do you believe in yourself?" Naruto asked, before turning to continue getting settled in his room.
"Oh, and by the way, Jaden managed to the head of the Obelisk dorm, and yet he's a Slifer." Added Naruto as he exited the room.
That made Chumley's eyes widened as he looked at Jaden and Syrus, the former grinning and flashing a thumbs up, while the latter nodded. That revelation, combined with Naruto's words, got Chumley thinking.
*Later*
After getting settled in their rooms; Naruto, Syrus, and Jaden decided to go explore the rest of the Academy, with Blair deciding to join them as well, since while she's still incredibly nervous about having a boy for a roommate, she didn't see the harm in getting to know them.
They soon arrived at the Yellow dorm, with Jaden whistling in amazement at it.
"Man, this place is huge." Jaden stated.
"It is quite impressive." Bastion said, walking up to them.
"Hey Bastion, did you already get settled in your room?" Naruto asked, with Bastion nodding in confirmation.
"I did, I take it that you all have done the same. And who is this?" Bastion asked, looking at Blair with a raised brow.
"Yeah, we're just checking out the rest of the school. And this is Blair, my roommate, he skipped a couple grades." Naruto said, seeing the look on the Ra Yellows face.
"Hm, not a bad idea. It's always a good thing to become familiar with new surroundings. Do mind if I join you?" Bastion asked, with the others nodding, while telling him that he could.
With that, the four Slifers and one Ra began exploring the school. Soon arriving at the Obelisk dorm. There was also someone standing outside the dorm. Someone who made Syrus gulp, given it was Zane.
Catching sight of them, Zane zeroed in on Syrus.
"Syrus." Zane greeted tersely, with Syrus giving a shaky wave.
"H-hey Zane. Guys, this is Zane, my brother." Syrus said nervously, something that made the four worried and confused at the tension that appeared, when the brothers greeted each other.
"I'm Naruto." Naruto introduced.
"I know who you are. You did very well in your duel against Crowler." Zane said.
He not only filled his field with powerful monsters, he was able to effectively destroy Crowler's entire deck with Crush Card Virus. Along with the fact that he didn't lose a single Life Point, besides the ones he used to summon Dark Magician Girl.
It actually made Zane eager to duel against Naruto. But knew that he'd have to play it smart, as he could use the Crush Card Virus on him, as well, to take out most of his deck. Given that most of Zane's monsters had more than 1500 ATK points.
Nodding, Naruto then noticed Blair looking at Zane with a blush on "his" face.
'Huh, that's…interesting.' Naruto thought, though he wasn't going to judge Blair, if "he" played for the other team.
Zane also recognized Blair and mentally sighed. He knew she was a girl, but he wasn't going to reveal it, since it was her secret to tell, or for the others to find out.
"Hey, what's that building over there?" Jaden questioned, pointing to what looked like a second Blue dorm across the lake.
"That's the Obelisk Blue Girls dorm." Answered Alexis, walking with her friends, Jasmine and Mindy. The three having been nearby when they saw the Slifers and Ra students.
They immediately recognized Naruto and Jaden, given the former was Yugi Muto's student, and the latter was able to beat Crowler. They also recognized Bastion, since he was the number one student in the written portion of the Entrance Exam.
"Hey there! I'm Jaden Yuki." Jaden introduced, while Syrus blushed when he saw Alexis, being instantly smitten with her beauty.
"We know who you are. Along Bastion Misawa, the number one student in the written portion of the Entry Exam, and Naruto Uzumaki, the King of Game's student. You both beat…Mid-Boss." Alexis said with a light giggle at remembering Naruto calling Crowler, Mid-Boss.
"Ahahaha! Yeah, that was awesome, I kind of regret that I didn't think of it, myself." Jaden said, having believed that Crowler was a mascot.
"Well, as much as we'd love to stick around girls, we're still getting familiar with the school grounds. So, until next time, see ya." Naruto said as they exchanged goodbyes with the girls and continued on their way.
The next place they arrived at was the Card Shop, where they met Ms. Dorothy and Sadie manning the counter. Looking over the different Booster Packs, Naruto was surprised when he found certain Booster Packs.
"What'd you find Naruto?" Jaden asked as they walked over, only to be surprised as well at what they saw.
"Those are, First-Generation Duel Monster Booster Packs!" Bastion said, surprised at seeing them here.
First-Generation Duel Monster cards were among the first cards created for the game, before it became as popular as it is today, and before it was updated. Naruto remembered Yugi telling him that the last time these cards were used was when he dueled Kaiba at the Death-T. After that, the game was updated with most of the cards of that era being banned. Only a few managed to be transitioned to the more modern Duel Monsters game; like Exodia, Dark Magician, Blue-Eyes White Dragon, and Red-Eyes Black Dragon for example.
Duelist Kingdom and Battle City were the two events where the game was updated the most, with Duelist Kingdom being around the time when the transition occurred, while Battle City laid down the new rules for the game, that were now the standard.
Though, while not all the cards from that era made it to the modern game, they were still sought after by collectors for how rare they now were.
Seeing them, the five students decided to buy some booster packs, including a few of the First-Generation ones. Though Bastion only bought a few, since he didn't want to throw off the strategies of his decks by adding to many different cards to them.
They also talked with Sadie and Ms. Dorothy for a while, figuring they'll likely be coming here more often, and it'd be good to get to know the ones working here.
After leaving the Card Shop, Bastion waved goodbye as he headed back to his dorm while the Slifers continued exploring. They continued to look around main Academy building, and eventually found themselves in a state-of-the-art Dueling Arena.
"Wow, this has to be the sweetest Dueling Arena I've ever seen." Jaden commented.
"It looks state-of-the-art, real nice." Blair added in amazement.
Naruto had to agree, it was a nice arena, more streamline than the classic one on Pegasus's island.
"I bet it'd be amazing to duel here." Syrus stated.
"Well, why not find out. We're students here and this is our campus." Jaden said, eager for a duel.
"Wrong! This is the Obelisk Blue campus!" Said an Obelisk student, Taiyou.
"And you Slifer rejects aren't welcomed here. See the crest." Another Obelisk, Raizou, said pointing to the crest of Obelisk the Tormentor above the entrance.
"So what? Are you going to make us leave?" Naruto questioned, more than happy to duel these guys.
Looking, the two Obelisk's eyes widened as they now recognized who Naruto and Jaden were.
"Hey Chazz! It's those two duelists who beat Crowler!" Taiyou said, as a third Obelisk, Chazz, revealed himself from the stands.
"Who's he?" Jaden wondered.
"He's Chazz Princeton! He was the number one duelist at prep school!" Taiyou said.
"Yeah, the future King of Games, the best duelist there is!" Added Raizou, with Naruto snorting at hearing this.
'Like that guy could ever beat Yugi.' Naruto thought.
Not to mention, that if he wanted to challenge Yugi, he'd first have to face Kaiba, as he'd never allow anyone, but himself, to take the title of King of Games from Yugi.
"Yeah, I don't think so. He can't be the future King of Games, because I'm going to be the King of Games." Jaden said.
Hearing this, the two Obelisks laughed.
"Haha! A Slifer Slacker as King of Games?! Yeah right!"
"Oh yeah, and what about me? I'm a Slifer, and I was trained by the King of Games." Naruto retorted, making the two Obelisks gulp, not wanting to go against Naruto.
"Shut it, both of you!" Chazz said, getting everyone's attention.
"Maybe the Slacker is right, he did manage to beat Crowler and that legendary card of his. I suppose it takes some skill to pull it off, and Uzumaki was trained by Yugi himself. Or maybe they both just got lucky, how about we find out, right now." Chazz challenged, eager to both to defeat a Slifer Slacker and test himself against the King of Game's apprentice.
"Bring it, I'll go first." Said Jaden.
"Yeah, I don't think so." Alexis said, entering the arena and hearing what was going on.
"Hey Alexis. Are you here to watch me wipe the floor with my new friend, Jaden, here? It may be a short duel, but it'll be entertaining." Chazz said, hoping to impress the Queen of Obelisk Blue.
"I'm here to remind you three about the Obelisk Welcome Dinner, which you're late for." Retorted Alexis, while crossing her arms under her bust.
"Oh yeah, let's go." Chazz said to his followers as they left.
"Sorry if Chazz rubbed you the wrong ways. I promise, not all Obelisk Blues are like that, he's just a jerk, especially to the Slifers." Alexis said, with Naruto shrugging it off, having dealt with worse people than Chazz.
"No big deal. Though he was right about one thing, it would have been a short duel, I don't think I've ever beaten someone on my first turn." Naruto said smirking, making Alexis look at him with wide eyes, before laughing lightly.
"As entertaining as that'd be to see, you four should be going to. The Slifer Welcoming Dinner will start soon." Alexis said.
Nodding, the four Slifers ran off, but Naruto stayed back a little.
"Hey, I don't think I caught your name earlier." Naruto said, with Alexis looking at him surprised, before smiling.
"Oh, Alexis Rhodes." Replied Alexis.
"Nice to meet you, Alexis." Said Naruto, before leaving to head back to his dorm, while Alexis watched him as he left.
"Naruto Uzumaki." Alexis said, intrigued by the whiskered blonde.
*Later*
Naruto looked at the Welcoming Dinner for the Slifers. It wasn't much, but he wasn't complaining. He wasn't really one for fancy dinners anyway, as long as it's good, he's fine with it.
'Shame there's no ramen, though.' Naruto thought, before seeing that Jaden had already started eating.
His attention was then turned to the front of the room, where the Head of the Slifer dorm stepped out.
"Hello children, I am Professor Banner, the Head of the Slifer Dorm." Greeted Banner, making Jaden paused mid-bite, before laughing a little.
"Are you related to Bruce Banner in anyway?" Jaden asked, since he couldn't resist making the joke.
"No I'm not!" Banner said, suddenly appearing in front of Jaden and Syrus's table, much to their surprise, with a tick mark on his forehead.
"Darn kids, always asking me that, always making me angry. You won't like me when I'm angry!" Banner said as his voice got deeper.
Outside the dorm, one could feel the ground shaking as the students panicked and ran away.
"HOLY SHIT, HE IS THE HULK!"
*Later*
"I… I did not see that coming." Jaden said with wide eyes.
"I don't think any of us were." Stated Naruto with a similar expression.
"Jaden… why, why did you have to make a Hulk joke?!" Syrus asked with an exasperated tone, while pouring some tea.
"I didn't think he'd actually turn into the Hulk!" Jaden exclaimed in his defense.
How was he supposed to know it would happen!
Thankfully, they all managed to escape and the Slifer dorm was still standing, though they swore never to make Banner angry again. And with that, they had just invoked Murphy's Law.
Naruto and Blair were currently in Jaden, Syrus, and Chumley's room, relaxing and hanging out with their friends.
Suddenly, both Naruto and Jaden's PDA's went off, signaling that they had a message. Pulling them out, Naruto frowned that they both were from Chazz, with the Obelisk Blue student challenging them both to Ante Duels, the winner getting the loser's best cards.
"Cool, I guess I'll get to duel in that arena after all!" Jaden said in excitement, but Naruto shook his head.
"I wouldn't do that, Jaden. After Hour Duels and Ante Rule Duels are against the school's rules. If you're caught, and you will get caught, you'll be expelled. Chazz likely knows this and is hoping to get us both in trouble." Naruto said.
"Ah man." Jaden said, disappointed and annoyed that he won't get to duel Chazz.
Naruto saved the message and sent it to Chancellor Sheppard, knowing he'll handle it. Besides, maybe if Jaden's lucky, he'll still get to duel Chazz.
*Next Day*
After waking up, Naruto and Jaden had both been called to the Chancellor's office, where they found Sheppard and an annoyed Chazz waiting for them. With Crowler was also being present, given he had heard about it, and was hoping to both get one of his Obelisk Blues out of trouble, while also knocking down the Slifer Slackers who beat him.
"Hello boys! Naruto, I want to thank you for sending me that message, and I'm pleased that you both did the right thing, rather than rushing off to accept Chazz's challenge. Rest assured, he'll be properly reprimanded and will not do such a thing again." Sheppard said, with Naruto and Jaden nodding, though the latter was still annoyed.
"Man, and I was really looking forward to dueling him, too." Jaden said, with Crowler jumping at the chance that was just presented to him.
"Chancellor, might I suggest we still let the Sla-, I mean Jaden and Chazz duel. If Chazz wins, he gets to decide his punishment." Crowler suggested.
Sheppard looked at him skeptically, knowing it was just a way to get Chazz out of trouble.
"Yeah! Let's do that! It'd be a heck of a way to start off the School Year!" Jaden said, excited at the chance of getting to duel Chazz, with Sheppard nodding slowly at hearing this.
"Very well, a duel between Jaden and Chazz to help start things off. Good idea, Mid-Boss!" Sheppard said to Crowler, who nodded proudly, before his eyes snapped open at realizing what he just said.
"Ch-Chancellor!" Crowler said, not believing that he was still being called that nickname.
"What do you think Chazz? Are you up for it? Though be aware, this is not an Ante Duel." Sheppard said, with the Obelisk shrugging, not really caring if it was an Ante Duel, or not.
"Sure, Mid-Boss actually has a good idea." Chazz said, only caring that he'll be able to get the duel he wanted.
"Wh-what're you doing?! I'm trying to help you, here!" Crowler shouted, not believing his own student was now calling him that.
"Sorry, but the name fits." Chazz said nonchalantly.
"Told you, Mid-Boss!" Naruto said laughing, as Crowler gritted his teeth, since it seems that he'll never escape that accursed nickname!
*Later*
All the students gathered at the Duel Field to watch the match between Jaden and Chazz, while said Slifer and Obelisk stood across from each other.
"Time to see if you beating Crowler was a fluke or not." Chazz said smirking.
"We'll also find out which of us is really gonna be the next King of Games." Stated Jaden with a smirk of his own.
"Yeah, yeah, just get ready to lose Slacker."
Activating their duel disks, Jaden and Chazz each drew five cards.
"Duel!"
Jaden-4000
Chazz-4000
"All right Slacker, my move! For my first move, I summon Reborn Zombie in defense mode!" Chazz said, summoning the monster to his side of the field.

"And I'll place one card face down." Chazz said, before ending his turn.
"Well that's one way to start a duel, but I'm gonna go a little bigger!" Jaden said, drawing a card and saw it was Avian, while also having Burstinatrix and Polymerization in his hand.
"I play Polymerization to fuse Elemental Heroes Avian and Burstinatrix, to fusion summon Elemental Hero Flame Wingman in attack mode!" Jaden said as his two heroes fused together and merged into their stronger form.

"Told you I'd start big." Jaden said, only to look confused when Chazz smirked.
"I was hoping you would, Slacker. I activate my face down card, Chthonian Polymer!" Said Chazz, revealing his trap card.
Chthonian Polymer
Card Type: Normal Trap.
Effect: You can only activate this card when your opponent Summons a Fusion Monster. Tribute 1 monster on your side of the field to take control of that Fusion Monster.
"Now I sacrifice my Reborn Zombie and take control of your Wingman." Chazz said as Reborn Zombie vanished in a flash of light, along with Flame Wingman reappearing on Chazz's side of the field.
"Oh man. Well it's a good thing that Flame Wingman was a special summon, so I can still summon Elemental Hero Clayman in defense mode!" Jaden said.

"There all set." Jaden said, since that's all he can do.
"Yeah, all set for me to knock down!" Chazz said, before drawing a card.
"I summon Chthonian Soldier!"
Chthonian Soldier

"Now go Flame Wingman, attack with Skydive Scorcher!"
Flame Wingman was covered in flames as he dived towards Clayman, destroying him.
"And thanks to Wingman's ability, you take damage equal to your destroyed monster's attack points." Chazz said smirking, as Wingman burned Jaden.
Jaden-4000 – 800 = 3200
"But I'm not done yet, Slacker! Now my Soldier attacks! Go, windstorm slash!"
Chthonian Soldier charged and slashed Jaden, lowering his life points further.
Jaden-3200 – 1200 = 2000
The Obelisk students cheered at seeing Chazz taking down the Slifer, while Jaden's friends looked worried.
"Hmph, are you finally realizing your place at this Academy, Slifer Slacker. I end my turn with a face down. Go ahead, Slacker." Chazz said, only to hear what he assumed was Jaden crying making him smirk, that he reduced the Slacker to tears.
Only for his smirk to vanish, when Jaden stood up, showing he was laughing.
"Man this is so fun, better than I imagined! I summoned Elemental Hero Sparkman!" Jaden said, summoning the electric hero.
Elemental Hero Sparkman

Card Type: Normal Monster.
Monster Type: Warrior
Card Text: An Elemental Hero and a warrior of light who proficiently wields many kinds of armaments. His Shining Surge Flash cuts off the path of villainy.
ATK/1600 DEF/1400
"Alright Sparkman, attack with Static Shockwave!" Jaden said as Sparkman let loose a blast of electricity, destroying Chthonian Soldier while the monster's sword flew up and hit Jaden.
Chazz-4000 – 400 = 3600
Jaden-2000 – 400 = 1600
"Still think it's great, Slacker? Cause when my Soldier is destroyed, you take the same amount of damage as I do. The difference is you hardly have any left." Chazz said.
"The duels not over yet. I throw down a face down and call it a turn." Jaden said, placing a face down.
"Play whatever you like, my next attack will finish you! Go Flame Wingman!" Chazz commanded.
"Not so fast, here's a trap card for you, Mirror Gate!" Retorted Jaden.
Mirror Gate
Card Type: Normal Trap.
Effect: Activate only when an opponent's monster battles a monster that you control. Switch control of the battling monsters, and then calculate damage.
Sparkman and Wingman glowed before switching places, with Wingman now back on Jaden's side and Sparkman on Chazz's.
"No!" Chazz exclaimed at seeing the monsters being swapped.
Chazz-3600 – 500 = 3100
"And like you said Chazz, now Flame Wingman's ability deals damage equal to Sparkman's attack points!"
Chazz cried out as Wingman electrocuted him with Sparkman's electricity.
Chazz-3100 – 1600 = 1500
"Alright, way to play Jay!" Syrus cheered.
"Hm, he's doing better than I expected." Alexis commented, while standing beside Zane, who remained silent, simply focusing on the duel.
"Grrr, alright, I activate Chthonian Blast!" Chazz said.
Chthonian Blast
Card Type: Normal Spell.
Effect: Activate only when a face-up monster you control is destroyed and sent to the Graveyard. Destroy 1 face-up monster on the field and inflict damage to your opponent equal to half of its ATK.
"Now since you destroyed one of my monsters, I get to destroy one of yours and you take damage equal to half its attack points." Chazz said, pleased that he just needed one more attack to win.
Jaden-1600 – 1050 = 550
"Now I activate Call of the Haunted to bring back Chthonian Soldier!" Chazz said as his monster was revived.
Call of the Haunted
Card Type: Continuous Trap
Effect: Activate this card by targeting 1 monster in your Graveyard; Special Summon that target in Attack Position. When this card leaves the field, destroy that target. When that target is destroyed, destroy this card.
"But he's not sticking around, because I sacrifice my Soldier to summon Mefist the Infernal General!"
Mefist the Infernal General
Attribute: Dark
Level: 5
Card Type: Effect Monster.
Monster Type: Fiend
Effect: When this card attacks with an ATK that is higher than the DEF of your opponent's Defense Position monster, inflict the difference as Battle Damage to your opponent's Life Points. When this card inflicts Battle Damage to your opponent's Life Points, discard 1 card randomly from your opponent's hand.
ATK/1800 DEF/1700
"Not bad." Jaden stated.
"Not bad? Yeah, keep saying that, because come next turn you're done Slacker." Retorted Chazz.
"We'll just have to see, won't we Chazz." Jaden said, while drawing and smiling at what he drew.
"Well I hate to disappoint, Chazz, but it looks like I'm ending this duel. I activate Monster Reborn, and with it, I'm bringing back Flame Wingman!" Jaden said.
Monster Reborn
Card Type: Normal Spell.
Effect: Target 1 monster in either GY; Special Summon it.
"WHAT?!" Chazz shouted as Flame Wingman rose up on Jaden's field.
"That's right, now Flame Wingman, attack Mefist the Infernal General!" Jaden said, with Wingman flying up and diving towards Chazz's monster, destroying it
Chazz-1500 – 300 = 1200
"And now, thanks to Wingman's ability, you take damage equal to Mefist's attack points!"
"GAH!" Chazz cried out, as Flame Wingman blasted him with flames and destroyed the last of his life points.
Chazz-1200 – 1800 = -600
"And that's game!" Jaden said, while posing.
The arena was stunned at what they just saw, a Slifer Slacker beating an Obelisk Blue. No one knew what to say. That is until the Slifers suddenly started cheering, soon joined by the Ras and some of the Obelisks for the amazing duel.
Chazz fell to his knees in shock, not believing he lost to a Slifer Slacker of all people! Even worse, Sheppard had told him before that his punishment was to write a thirty-page essay on why After Hour Dueling and Ante Duels were wrong, if he lost! THIRTY PAGES!
"Alright, way to go Jaden!" Syrus cheered.
"Truly a splendid duel." Bastion said, clapping at Jaden once again showing his skill.
Naruto nodded with a smile, having had faith that Jaden would win, while also seeing that he and his monsters have a powerful bond.
"Wow, he's really good." Said Blair, having not seen Jaden's duel against Crowler.
"Woah, a Slifer beating an Obelisk." Chumley muttered with wide eyes, never having thought he'd see such a thing happen.
Though seeing Jaden win and remembering Naruto's words, it lit a fire in Chumley, one he had thought was extinguished. A determined flame to become a great duelist and now seeing everyone cheering for Jaden, a Slifer Red, for his victory, Chumley started thinking it was time to get back into the game, literally.
So, what did you think, good. Yep Naruto has officially met Jaden and meets his roommate Blair, who skipped a few grades to enter the Academy, along Zane, Alexis, and Chazz. As for Banner turning into the Hulk, that comes from Sephirex's "Yugioh AGX" series. Finally we saw Jaden and Chazz have an official duel match and because there was no interruption, Jaden was able to play Monster Reborn to bring back Wingman and win the duel. We also see that everyone else is starting to call Crowler Mid-Boss as well, a name he will never escape! So, review if you liked go away if you didn't.
Storm out
