Face the Duelists
Chapter One: Welcome to the Academy
Darren sighed as he entered the Kaiba Corp. Duel Dome. He had been waiting in line for half an hour, waiting to take his entrance duel to get into Duel Academy. He ran his hand through his black hair and brushed off his shirt. He could hear other duelists yelling from the large duel dome and the cheers from people in the stands. The man at the entrance had told Darren that he needed to wait in the stands until his named was called.
"I hope I don't have to wait long," Darren said as he walked up to the stands. It took him a while to find a seat and when he did manage to find a place to sit, a man called his name over the intercom.
"WILL DARREN LONG ENTER ARENA FOUR! WILL DARREN LONG ENTER ARENA FOUR!" the loud voice said. Darren stood up and looked at his duel disk, his deck in the appropriate spot. He ran down the stairs and down to the arena area. A man with a checklist walked up to Darren. The man was wearing a blue robe with the Duel Academy logo on his chest.
"Are you Darren Long?" the man asked. Darren nodded and he smiled. "Enter through that door over there and a platform will elevate you to the dueling area. Good Luck." Darren turned from the man and walked up to the white door that had the number four painted in gold on it. He opened the door and entered what appeared to be a pitch-black closet. He felt the ground shake under him and could hear the elevator going up. Finally it came to a slow stop and the Darren opened the door.
A woman in a blue and white jacket stood on the other side. She was brushing her long brown hair before she spotted him. "Well hurry up! I want to finish this fast so I can go home," she said. Darren ran up to a small rectangle and stood inside of it. "Shuffle your deck. Then we can begin."
Darren took his deck off and quickly shuffled it. "I'm guessing I go first," Darren said to the girl. She nodded as she drew five cards off the top of her deck; Darren drew six. Both of their life points went up to 8000 as the duel began.
"All right, I think I will start off by setting one monster card and then I place one card face down. I end my turn," Darren said.
"Quick move. My turn now," the girl said. She drew a card and smiled. "I start off by summoning my Sonic Shooter in attack mode (1300/600). I'll do a quick move for now. Sonic Shooter, attack the face down monster." Sonic Shooter jumped up and flew at the card, slicing it and revealing Darren's Shining Angel monster.
"You've activated my angel's effect. I now get to summon a light monster with an attack of 1500 or less to the field in attack mode and the monster I choose is Cyber Phoenix (1200/1600)," Darren said. A large machine bird appeared on the field with its wings open. "I guess it's my turn now."
Darren drew a card looked at his hand. "Okay I play Graceful Charity from my hand. This allows me to draw three cards and discard two from my hand." Darren picked three cards off of his deck. "I discard Giant Trunade and Nobleman of Crossout. Next I summon Breaker the Magical Warrior in attack mode (1600/1000). Since he was normal summoned he gets a counter, which makes his attack power go up by 300 (1900/1000)."
"Now, Breaker attack Sonic Shooter." Breaker raised his blade and ran to the other side of the field and destroyed Sonic Shooter. He jumped backwards as the woman's life points dropped to 7400. "I'm not finished though. Sonic Phoenix attack her directly!" The sonic bird flew over to the girl and struck her with its wings, dropping her life points down to 6200. "I end my turn"
"Err, you won't win this duel," the girl said. She drew a card from the top of her deck and added it her deck. "I play Heavy Storm which destroys all of your spells and traps." A tornado rushed through the field and destroyed Darren's Mystical Space Typhoon. "Now say bye to your monsters because I play the spell card Lightning Vortex. I discard one card and all your monsters go to the graveyard." Suddenly lightning began to hit the field and both Cyber Phoenix and Breaker were destroyed.
"Next I play my field spell Harpies' Hunting Ground." The arena suddenly grew trees and grass as it surrounded the two duelists. "After that I will summon my Harpie Lady 1 in attack mode (1300/1400). My Harpie Lady gets 200 power boost from the Hunting Ground field spell and an additional 300 from her effect (1800/1400). Now my Harpie Lady, attack him directly!" The Harpie Lady rushed over to Darren and struck him hard, leaving him with 6200 life points. "I play once card face down and end my turn."
Darren drew a card and smiled at what he got. "Your Harpie Lady is strong, but I'm sorry to say she won't be here for long," Darren said. "I use my Cyber Dragon's special effect, which allows me to special summon him if you have a monster on your side of the field and I don't." Darren played the card and looked at the field as a large mechanical dragon appeared before him.
"Then I play Power Bond to fuse together my Cyber Dragon with my two additional one to make the Cyber End Dragon (4000/2800)." The three fused together and another mechanical dragon appeared, only this time it had three heads. "Since I used Power Bond my dragon's attack doubles making it at 8000, that's enough to wipe you out, but just to make sure you don't have any traps I play Heavy Storm."
Another giant tornado came by and destroyed the girls Sakuretsu Armor and Hunting Ground. The Harpie Lady's attack dropped down to 1600. "Now, Cyber End Dragon, end this duel and destroy her Harpie Lady!" The dragon charged an attack up before firing an attack at the Harpie Lady and making the girls life points drop down to 0.
The crowd clapped after the duel as Cyber End Dragon disappeared. Darren raised his duel disk and watched it shut down. "Good duel. Maybe we can do it again sometime," Darren said. He turned and went through the door and down with the elevator. When Darren stepped out of the elevator, he bumped into a man. He looked up at the man's face and saw that he was smiling and that it was the same one that had told him were to go in order to duel.
"Congratulations on winning your duel. After quickly reviewing it, we have decided that you belong in Ra Yellow," the man said. He turned around and a man in white robes ran up behind him, handing the man five yellow and white jackets. "Make sure to catch the boat to Duel Academy in two days. I guess we will see you there." He turned and walked off. Darren looked at the five jackets and hoped they were his size because they never asked him.
"Better go home and tell my mom and dad that I got accepted and maybe phone my brother about it also," Darren said to himself. He held the jackets with both hands and exited the dome. He walked past the long line and turned right to head for his apartment.
Yeah I know weak ending, but I couldn't conjure up any good ideas for the ending. I'm hoping I can continue with this story so please review.
