It was a warm, and peaceful day at the academy. What was heading over was a fleet of helicopters, and ships toward Academy Island.

"Attention all craft, I know it's been a long journey fighting off intruders, taking on attack sups, and seems like the world is trying to infeltratie our defenses. But..." Seeing the island the captain finished. "It's about to all pay off."

Approaching the island the captain held up a suitcase showing the Duel Academy symbol, and announced, "We reached our final objective with the payload safe. So full steam ahead men this is the moment we've been waiting for. The moment Duel Academy gets there new rare cards!"


Meanwhile at the Slifer Red Dorm at early morning...

Kanji, Jaden, Yu, and Syrus were talking before Yu paused and walked out of the room.

"Yu? What is it?" Kanji asked him.

"Some friends." Yu answered before walking out of the dorm and approaching a blue door on the side before asking inside.

The door opened.

(Cue Theme: The Poem of Everyone's Souls)

"Igor-san." Yu said respectfully. "Margaret."

It was shown in a limo where a short bald man with a long nose, and a grown woman with yellow eyes, a blue dress, and long curly blonde hair was waiting.

"Welcome back." the bald man known as Igor greeted to him, "You have grown stronger since the last time we met."

"Thank you." Yu smiled.

"So Yu. How's life going for you, and your friends?" Margaret asked him.

"It's going well." Yu smiled before his expression turned serious. "Though if you're here it means things will be getting dangerous soon doesn't it?"

"Indeed." Igor nodded. "The Shadows grow stronger with each passing day. And eventually they will wage an attack against humankind."

"I was afraid of that." Yu admitted. "I appreciate your help though."

"It's what we can do." Igor nodded, "And what interests me is that now your taking your Talents at Personas to this Card Game."

"Much like the cards your and, your friends used to summon your Personas while fighting the Shadows." Margaret added, "Instead of the usual you just summon them for a goal of defeating your opponent in a harmless game."

"It isn't exactly harmless." Yu admitted.

"I see." Igor nodded. "Well we will assist you however we can."

"If you have need of them, your personas are still available to you." Margaret said calmly.

"Thanks." Yu nodded before leaving the Velvet Room.

(Stop Theme)

When he done that Jaden ran passed him.

"Jaden?" Yu asked.

"Sorry Yu can't talk I'll be late!" Jaden called not stopping.

Yu blinked before walking back to Kanji and Syrus. Kanji was walking when he sees him.

"What's going on?" Yu asked him.

"Didn't you encounter Jaden?" Kanji asked. "He said we'll be late."

"Late for what?" Yu asked.

"Class duh." Kanji answered.

Yu's eyes widened before they ran after Jaden.


At class...

"You have 45 minutes left on your test." Banner announced.

Syrus snoozing said, "...Which Counters... a Field Spell... which counters..."

"Syrus, wake up." Jaden told him.

Syrus was snapped awake seeing Jaden, Yu, and Kanji.

"Didn't get much sleep?" Yu guessed.

"I uh... Prayed to Slifer all night to get me to change dorms." Syrus admitted.

"Change dorms?" Kanji questioned.

"Yeah the promotion exams to switch dorms is today. We have to take a written test, and a field test." Syrus answered.

"Oh, well good luck." Yu whispered.

"You two want to keep it down?" They looked up seeing Chazz who looks angry, "Some of us plan to pass this test!"

"Aren't you already in the highest rank?" Jaden asked. "I mean, you can't be promoted."

"Slifer Slacker." Chazz gritted his teeth, "Of course you don't know that Obelisk Blues can switch if they bad grades, and such."

"Well we plan on passing it doesn't always work out that way." Jaden crossed his arms.

"Oh Jaden, Yu, Kanji?" Banner called.

Banner asked them, "Why don't you three come down here, and get your exam?"

Jaden grinned, "Be there in a jiff!"

That had irritated some of the students for him disrupting class.

"Sorry for being late." Yu apologized.

"Yeah, what Yu-sempai said." Kanji agreed.

Alexis thought focusing on her exam, 'He better be. We're 15 minutes into this thing, they'll be lucky to even finish.'

'Look at him so tardy, so purail.' Bastion thought as Jaden, Kanji, and Yu picked up there tests. 'If only Jaden implied himself he could become a great duelist.'

'I hope you know what your doing Jaden.' Alexis thought.

Soon after getting situated Jaden, and Syrus were snoozing off again while Yu, and Kanji do there exams, as Dr. Crowler smirked behind the door un-noticed, "Hahaha you maybe be able to do dream your way through the exam Jaden, but when your field test starts believe me it will be a nightmare! HAHAHAHAHAHA!"


"Alright class the written exam is now over. Please walk, and don't run to be on line for today's new rare cards."

"There here!?"

"Oh dear..."

Like a stampede of wild animals the students exited the classrooms, and charged to get in line to collect the new rare cards in the card shop hoping to use them for the field test.

Chazz was one of the people not running while Taiyou, and Raizou tried to tell him.

"Chazz, Chazz!"

"The new rare cards are here!"

"So go fetch." Chazz instructed looking over his papers. While the Obelisk Duo ran out Bastion, Yu, and Kanji were focused waking Syrus, and Jaden up.

"You can go on ahead Kanji, I don't need any new cards." Yu offered while shaking Jaden's shoulder.

"Not sure if I need any honestly." Kanji admitted before Syrus was snapped awake.

With anime tears running down his face he asked "Oh I flunked didn't I? I'm a complete failure."

"Sy if they were grading on Drama Class you'd get an A." Jaden grinned to him.

Realizing what was going on Syrus asked, "Where did everyone go?"

"They went to buy new cards for the practical test." Yu answered.

It took a few seconds for Syrus to take it in, "WHAT!? New cards hey how come no-one told us!?"

Bastion only calmly stated, "Because everyone wants the best cards for themselves. To use in the upcoming Field Test."

"Then why aren't you getting some?"

"Please one error card, and my deck's delicate balance will be completely thrown off."

"What bout you two?" Syrus asked Yu, and Kanji.

"My deck's worked so far, why change it now?" Kanji asked.

"My cards... come from somewhere else." Yu answered.

"Agh come on Jaden!" Syrus told him.

"Sure! There's nothing like the smell of new cards in the morning! Thanks for the tip guys!" Jaden said as they ran out.

Yu and Kanji waved them off before turning.

"Professor Banner, do you know anything about the field test?" Yu asked.

"Well it is where students from the same Dorm duel each other, and the results depends on the outcome." Banner asked stroking Pharaoh's head, "If your a Ra Yellow your promoted to Obelisk Blue. If your a Slifer Red your promoted to Ra Yellow. Or you can stay in the dorm if you like."

"Well, promotion or not you're still a pretty good teacher." Kanji mentioned.

"Ah thank you." Banner smiled.

"Well I wish you two luck." Bastion told Yu, and Kanji.

"Thanks." Yu smiled as Kanji gently scratched Pharaoh's ear. "We'll see you later."

Banner nodded as they walked out.


Reaching the card shop they banged on the door demanding entry. Then some SWAT team members charged at the doors as the students turned to see, "Guards, Guards, Guards!"

Before they knew it they were surrounded as the swat teams assembled to show the captain.

"Oh children?" He asked before lifting the case. "Looking for these?"

The students cheered, and started clapping seeing the case as the captain lifted the store's door opened before he turned back to the students, and grinned "Come and get 'em."

At that the students can't wait. However their hopes were shattered when the door was lifted all the way showing the case was empty with a sign beside it: ALL SOLD OUT.

Dumbfounded, and shocked one of the students questioned, "Hey where did they all go?"

"You know the rules first come first serve." The counter girl, Sadie explained gesturing to a cloaked figure.

"What!?" They glared at the figure at this.

"And I was first so I took every one." the figure smirked without a care.

"Hey come on man!"

"You can't just take them like that!"

"That's not fair!"


Meanwhile...

Teddie was preparing his Deck for the field test before he bumped into someone, "Oh jeez sorry!"

It was Alexis who bumped into him who was accompanied with her friends Jasmine, and Mindy.

"It's alright." Alexis smiled. "Good luck with your match."

"Thanks." Teddie smiled before asking, "Oh, I haven't introduced myself have I?"

"Well no but there's no need since we seen you beat Professor Yuzu." Alexis answered.

"Yeah. Professor Yuzu is fine." Alexis smiled nodding. "She took it like how any duelist do it."

"That's good, I hadn't seen her in a beary long time and was starting to get worried." Teddie admitted.

"Beary?" Jasmine asked raising an eyebrow. "Do you have a thing with bears?"

"That's a long story, maybe we can explain after the tests?" Yosuke asked walking up to them.

"Yeah that sounds good." Alexis nodded.

"Oh, looks like they're about to start the matches." Mindy mentioned.

Hearing that they walked.


"...And then this guy shows up, and took all the rare cards!" Taiyou told Chazz as they, and Raizou were in a school hallway which was empty explaining what happened. "I mean every one."

"So we couldn't get you any. Sorry Chazz."

Chazz turned to his friends with a disapproving glare, "You know what's sorry? You guys that's what but it doesn't matter. Because not one duelists can beat me no matter what card they have."

"Unless that duelist happens to be Jaden Yuki."

Chazz, Taiyou, and Raizou all turned to see who said that.

"Are you stupid, they're in different dorms." Raizou pointed out.

"Well I have changes for it." It was the figure from before.

"That's the sticky fingers who took the cards!" Taiyou told Chazz recognizing him.

"Cards what cards?" The figure smirked. "Oh you mean these?"

He opened his cloak showing a total of 30 cards 15 on each side. From Draining Shield, to Pikeru's Circle of Enchantment, to Helpoemer, to Hammer Shot, and to Ojama King.

"Whoa now that's style." Raizou said in awe.

"Talk about having a card up your sleeve." Taiyou agreed also in awe.

The figure chuckled, "What's wrong Chazz? Don't recognize me? How bout now?"

He took his cloak off to reveal-

"Crowler!?"

"You know you look better all covered up." Chazz remarked.

Dr. Crowler fell back anime-style but decided to not care about it for once.

"Y-Yes well I have a plan to make us all look better, and make Jaden make the cut-rate duelist he truly is" Dr. Crowler started with his smirk. "I want you to be his opponent for his field test, and use all these rare cards to beat him."

"Sounds good to me." Chazz smirked looking at the cards.

"Oh, and Taiyou?" Dr. Crowler turned to one of Chazz's cronies.

"Yeah?" Taiyou asked.

Dr. Crowler handed him a pack, "You use that for your field test against this Slifer named Kanji. I hear from his previous School Records that he's a punk like a delinquent, and I can't have anyone like that in Ra, or Obelisk. Show Jaden, and Kanji there place in front of the Academy. Understand you two?"

"Of course, no problem." Taiyou nodded.

With that Dr. Crowler started laughing wickedly.


Later...

"Looks like you're up next Jaden." Yu smiled. "Good luck."

Jaden nodded as he walked before what stepped up with his was Chazz shocking him.

"Huh, wait isn't that unfair?" Yosuke questioned.

"I'm dueling an Obelisk!? And it's Chazz!?" Jaden asked shocked.

"That's right Jaden. Since you always talk such a big game I've pulled some strings for you so you got the challenge you deserve." Dr. Crowler smirked walking to the field. "So congratulations! You'll be dueling one of the top-rank duelists in the school! What an honor! I hope your able to get a lot of today's rare cards. What's wrong? Aren't you going to thank me?"

"No way, this has to be a set-up." Kanji argued.

Syrus thought, 'I got a bad feeling about this.'

'This is clearly a trap, only a caviler fool would agree to it.' Bastion thought having read that two students from different dorms never dueled in the field test.

"I'll do it!"

That came from Jaden shocking everyone on it.

"Alright Chazz! Get your game on!" Jaden grinned. "Let's finish what we started at Obelisk Arena!"

"Indeed in front of the entire school to where everyone can watch." Dr. Crowler admitted.

Chazz smirked on this, "Yeah watch you get slammed by me."

They both armed their Duel Disks as Dr. Crowler ran off to join the Chancellor.

"DUEL!"

"No excuses this time Chazz!"

"Bring it Slifer Slacker!"

"Oh it is on!"

"Huh, what kind of card is that?" Teddie asked in confusion.

A redo. All the cards in my hand that I don't want I put back in my deck. Then I shuffle, and redraw." Chazz smirked before showing four cards. "Pretty cool don't you think?"

"How? A rare card on the first draw?" Syrus asked shocked.

"And a dangerous one at that." Bastion added also concerned. "Now Chazz can essentially gets the cards he wants or not."

"That makes things almost one-sided." Yosuke frowned. "It'll take a miracle to pull it off now."

"I haven't even gotten to the best part! See Jaden?" Chazz smirked before revealing a second Magical Mallet, and played it. "I get to shuffle Magical Mallet too so if I draw it again which I just did I can play it again, and again! And that comes in handy when I'm looking for this! V-Tiger Jet!

"A Fusion Summon, sweet move Chazz." Jaden grinned.

"But he didn't use Polymerization or anything." Teddie stated confused.

"Well there was a particular set of cards that Seto Kaiba himself used during the Battle City." Bastion told him. "It is where instead of a Fusion Card he can banish the monsters instead."

"Oh yeah, you guys mentioned that. So why does he have cards like those?" Yu asked.

"But wait I'm not done because I now activate his special ability!" Chazz smirked.

"That's not good!" Jaden tensed.

"Give me a break is this guy's turn gonna end sometime this century!?" Syrus cried also worried.

"By sending a card from my hand to the graveyard I can force one of your monster's to attack mode." Chazz answered as Clayman stood up. "So now after this heatseeking blitz from my Tiger Catapult your Life Points are toast!"

The Tiger Catapult attacked that destroyed Clayman. (Jaden: 2800)

"No way, how can he do anything against that thing?" Chie questioned in shock.

Seeing this Dr. Crowler chuckled, "My goodness it seems Jaden doesn't deserve a spot with the big boys after all. I guess he isn't as good as anyone else thinks."

"I finish with a card face-down." Chazz smirked laying a card.

"Not much else he can do with all the new rares Chazz seems to have." Bastion mentioned.

"It's just not fair!" Syrus agreed.

'This is a complete mismatch!' Alexis thought finding this unfair. 'How can Jaden fight back if he doesn't know what he's fighting!?'

"Weren't you the ones who told us the key is trusting in your cards?" Yu asked.

"Why'd you say that Ted?" Kanji asked him.

"But wait Jaden. There's more!" Chazz smirked.

"Wait, what did you do?" Jaden questioned.

"Oh I'm sorry. Didn't I tell you his special ability? Once every turn I can remove a card on your field from play." Chazz smirked before declaring, "And if you think that's impressive wait until you see his attack. An attack that will strike you directly!"

At that Winged Kuriboh evolved into a dragon like monster that blocked the attack.

"Ah! It can't be!" Chazz cried shocked.

"I activate Winged Kuriboh LV10's special ability, one that destroys all your monsters and deals damage equal to their attack points." Jaden revealed.

Syrus cheered, "Jaden did it!"

Dr. Crowler growled muttering where Sheppard, Banner, and Yuzu can't hear, "Oooh! Chazz failed but what Taiyou has against Kanji will make him regret he come here."

"Nicely done." Yu smiled.

Jaden grinned at Chazz, "That's game! Unless you want to duel again."

"Oh we will." Chazz glared before walking out.

Jaden frowned seeing that before turning to walk off the arena.

"Nice one Jay." Syrus smiled.

"Thanks Sy." Jaden smiled back.

"Oh. Kanji your up next." Teddie said seeing that.

"Huh?" Kanji asked looking over before nodding. "Well, here goes nothing."

With that he walked down to the arena.

He waited for his opponent.

"Hello there Slifer Slime."

They turned to see Taiyou was there smirking.

"Another one?" Syrus asked in shock.

"What's with Blues dueling Reds today?" Naoto asked.

"I don't know, but I don't like this." Alexis frowned.

"You might remember me. I was one of Chazz's friends with him. The name's Taiyou Torimaki." Taiyou smirked to Kanji.

"Kanji Tatsumi." Kanji mentioned. "So I guess it's my turn to knock one of you blue punks on your ass."

Syrus widen his eyes, "Is he even allowed to say something like that?"

"I'll talk to him later." Yu offered.

Dr. Crowler looked angered thinking, 'Not only a delinquent but also vulgar! Taiyou will shut his lips soon!'

"If your saying that just to throw me off don't bother." Taiyou smirked, "Now are we here to talk or duel?"

"An interesting card." Bastion noted.

"And I'll set 3 cards, and end my turn." Taiyou ended.

Kanji 1st Turn:

Kanji drew his card before closing his eyes.

"What's... He doing?" Syrus asked.

"He's using his head, Kanji might not look it but he's careful." Yu answered. "Rushing things won't help him."

"Hey! You gonna make a move or what!?" Taiyou asked irritated.

"Fine, I summon Woven Pup in attack mode." Kanji called as a small hand-sewn white puppy appeared on his field.

DEF: 700

A puppy delicately crafted with tender hands for a loving child.


The girls started to gush.

"A small mutt?" Taiyou asked.

"Something wrong with my cards?" Kanji asked.

"Yeah. You Slifers always go with something pathetic, and weak. And that's why you can't advance, or become duelists like Yugi, and the others!" Taiyou yelled, "And another thing a string up mutt? What is that for something to make your feet warm or something?"

(A/N (bopdog111): Taiyou... You don't know what you just done.)

Kanji's eyes narrowed hearing that. "What was that?"

"You heard me you pathetic Slifer!" Taiyou glared, "You dare disgrace Duel Academy with something pathetic, and stupid as that thing?"

"Looks can be deceiving, and these two cards will prove that." Kanji told him. "I play Thread Color Red, and Tread Color Pink."


Thread Color Red

Equip Spell Card

Equip only to a "Woven" monster. The equipped monster gains 600 attack points. You can banish this card from your GY to add 1 differently named "Thread Color" Equip Spell Card from your Deck to your hand.


Thread Color Pink

Equip Spell Card

Equip only to a "Woven" monster. The equipped monster is unaffected by trap cards. You can banish this card from your GY to add 1 differently named "Thread Color" Equip Spell Card from your Deck to your hand.


The two spells created red and pink threads that turned the white puppy into a colorful one.

"Huh?" Taiyou blinked.

"Now that my little pup's gotten some color to him he'll attack your Element Dragon!" Kanji declared.

The pup grew teeth before it charged. (ATK: 1200 + 600 = 1800)

"Ah! What the hell!?" Taiyou asked as the pup chomped destroying his dragon. (Taiyou: 3700) "I'm gonna pretend a string mutt did not destroyed Element Dragon."

Kanji meanwhile knelt down to pet his monster. "Nice job fellow. Now I'll play one facedown and that's it."


Kanji: 4000

Taiyou: 3700


Taiyou 2nd Turn:

Taiyou glared, "Don't think that mutt's gonna defend you against me!"

He drew as he looked smirking, 'Thanks for the card Crowler.'

"Alright! I'll summon Lord of D. in attack mode!" Taiyou called as a sorcerer with dragon bones on him appeared.


Lord of D.

The Flute of Summoning Dragon

Normal Spell Card

Special Summon up to 2 Dragon monsters from your hand. "Lord of D." must be on the field to activate and to resolve this effect.


Bastion cried shocked, "The Flute of Summoning Dragon!?"

A flute appeared as Lord of D. played it.

"Guessing that summons Dragons." Yu mentioned.

"Yeah, and it's also a rare card!" Syrus told him.

"I only have 1 card left in my hand but he'll show some spark!" Taiyou smirked, "Let's welcome Tyrant Dragon!"

A crimson scaled dragon appeared roaring.

"Ah! Tyrant Dragon!?" Syrus cried shocked.

"He has that!?" Bastion asked shocked.

Dr. Crowler chuckled, "Yes Taiyou... Show that Slifer who's bad!"

"That won't help him." Yu said calmly.

"Huh? How can you say that? Kanji is facing one of the most powerful Dragons in Duel Monster history!" Syrus told him.

"Kanji's faced worse before." Yu replied. "A lot worse."

"And now I activate my first face-down! Dragon Treasure!" Taiyou smirked.


Dragon Treasure

Equip Spell Card

A Dragon-Type monster equipped with this card increases its ATK and DEF by 300 points.


"With this Tyrant Dragon gains 300 attack, and defense points!" Tyrant Dragon roared. (ATK: 2900 + 300 = 3200/DEF: 2500 + 300 = 2800) "And my other face-down, Dragon's Gunfire!"


Dragon's Gunfire

Normal Spell Card

If you control a Dragon-Type monster: Activate 1 of these effects.
● Inflict 800 damage to your opponent.
● Target 1 monster with 800 or less DEF; destroy that target.


"With this you can take 800 points of damage!" Taiyou smirked as Tyrant Dragon fired a blast.

(Kanji: 3200)

"You never do learn, I play Acceptance of your True Self!" Kanji declared.


Acceptance of your True Self

Normal Trap Card

When you take battle or effect damage, Special Summon 1 "Persona" monster from your deck. Then if your opponent has higher life points you can destroy one card on the field. You cannot declare an attack until the end phase of the turn after you activate this card.


'Good he played that just as planned.' Taiyou smirked in his mind.

"Come out Emperor Persona Take-Mikazuchi!" Kanji called.


Emperor Persona Take-Mikazuchi

"Okay you got your thing that but I have this. The face-down, Pot of Greed!" Taiyou called.


Pot of Greed

Normal Spell Card

Draw 2 cards.


"With this I can draw 2 cards." Taiyou drew twice as he smirked, "This next spell here outta throw ya off! The Equip Spell, Megamorph!"


Megamorph

Equip Spell Card

While your LP is lower than your opponent's, the equipped monster's ATK becomes double its original ATK. While your LP is higher, the equipped monster's ATK becomes half its original ATK.


"And I'll equip this card to your Persona!" Taiyou smirked. "Since my Life Points are higher Megamorph reduces your monster's points in half!"

"Like Chazz, Taiyou has a lot of rares!" Bastion said dumbfounded.

'Not only that when Kanji's Persona is destroyed he'll be hurt.' Syrus thought nervously.

Take-Mikazuchi: (ATK: 2500/2 = 1250)

"And now Tyrant Dragon destroy that Persona! Hell Dragon Rush!" Taiyou called as Tyrant Dragon was coated in fire charging at the Persona.

'It isn't a lot but...' Kanji thought. "I use Take-Mikazuchi's ability to double his attack points during the battle!"

Take-Mikazuchi: (ATK: 1250 * 2 = 2500)

"I knew something was fishy about this one!" Taiyou smirked, "And now Tyrant Dragon is way stronger!"

Tyrant Dragon tackled the Persona destroying it.

(Kanji: 2500)

The moment Take-Mikazuchi shattered Kanji winced in visible pain before his persona appeared in the familiar blue glow

"Take-Mikazuchi's special ability activates, I summon Emperor Persona Rokuten Maoh!" Kanji stated.


Emperor Persona Rokuten Maoh

DEF: 1000

Must be summoned by the effect of "Emperor Persona Take-Mikazuchi" and cannot be summoned by other ways. Other effects to be revealed.


"Well now his form appeared. But you still aren't safe." Taiyou smirked. "When Tyrant Dragon destroys one of your monsters he can attack one more time when you have another!"

"What?" Chie asked in horror.

"And now Tyrant Dragon send that string mutt to the pound!" Taiyou called, "Hell Dragon Rush!"

The dragon was coated charging at the woven pup. The pup whined in fear as the dragon destroyed it.

(Kanji: 1100)

Dr. Crowler started laughing, "That punk sure is getting in by Taiyou don't you think?"

"That's enough damage for now. So I'll finish up with 1 card face-down." Taiyou smirked setting a card.

"Can Kanji deal against a 3200 point Tyrant Dragon, and whatever other rare cards Taiyou has?" Bastion asked worried.

"Bastion, Kanji will win the duel this turn." Yu told him.

Confused Syrus, Jaden, Bastion, and Alexis turned to him as Jaden asked, "How can you be sure? One of Kanji's Personas was destroyed... And if that Obelisk destroys the other two..."

"... Kanji will die." Yu finished quietly. "But that won't happen."

"How can he get out of this?" Alexis asked him. "Lord of D. prevents him from targeting Tyrant Dragon with card effects. Even if that's so Tyrant Dragon can put a stop to Trap Cards that targets it."

Kanji 2nd Turn:

Kanji drew his card and smiled. "I activate the Woven Palace spell."


Woven Palace

Field Spell Card

When this card is activated add one "Woven" card to your hand. "Woven" monsters you control cannot be destroyed by card effects once per turn. Once per turn: Add 1 "Thread Color" Spell Card from your deck to your hand and if you, send the top card of your deck to the graveyard. If this card is destroyed and sent to the graveyard shuffle three Equip Spells from your graveyard into your deck, then draw one card.


"Huh?" Taiyou looked around.

"When I play this palace I can add any Woven card I want to my hand, and since you like them so much I'll add Woven Dragon and summon him in attack mode." Kanji stated as a hand-sewn dragon appeared on his field.


Woven Dragon

Light Type

Level 4

Dragon

ATK: 1600

DEF: 1500

A dragon sewn for a young boy, each stitch full of love.


"Well Tyrant Dragon is still the top dragon here." Taiyou smirked. 'And my face-down will add more to that. With Mirror Force all monsters he has in attack mode will be destroyed. Let's see how he avoids this.'

"I banish Thread Color Pink and Thread Color Red from my graveyard to add another Thread Color Red, and Thread Color Yellow to my hand. Then my field spell adds Thread Color Green." Kanji stated.

"You can add as many colors as you like. This duel is over." Taiyou smirked.

"That's the first smart thing you've said this entire match." Kanji told him. "I equip my dragon with all three thread colors."


Thread Color Yellow

Equip Spell Card

Equip only to a "Woven" monster. If the equipped monster destroys a monster in battle you can reduce the ATK of one opposing monster by the destroyed monster's ATK until the end phase.

Woven Dragon: (ATK: 1600 + 600 = 2200)

"Nicely done but it's still weak." Taiyou smirked.

"Woven Dragon attack Lord of D!" Kanji declared.

The sewn dragon charged.

"Very well! Then despair on my most devastating card! I activate Mirror Force!" Taiyou cried showing his face-down.


Mirror Force

Normal Trap Card

When an opponent's monster declares an attack: Destroy all your opponent's Attack Position monsters.


"Mirror Force!" Syrus cried in horror.

"That card destroys all the monsters Kanji sets in attack mode!" Jaden cried.

"And it's a very dangerous rare card!" Bastion grunted.

"Sorry, but my Green Thread negates one spell or trap every turn!" Kanji revealed. "Oh, and for the record one of Rokuten Maoh's special abilities gives all my monsters 400 points for every monster on your field at the start of the battle phase."

Woven Dragon: (ATK: 2200 + (400 * 2) = 3000)

Rokuten Maoh: (ATK: 2800 + (400 * 2) = 3600)

"W-What!?" Taiyou asked stepping back as Mirror Force's effect dulled as Woven Dragon burst through the barrier, and destroyed Lord of D. (Taiyou: 1900) "Lucky Slifer! This duel isn't over yet!"

"My Yellow Thread reduces your Tyrant Dragon's attack points by Lord of D.'s points." Kanji told him.

"What!?" Taiyou asked as the thread wraps around Tyrant Dragon in a bad bind as it roared.

Tyrant Dragon: (ATK: 3200 - 1200 = 2000)

"I... I will still last another turn!" Taiyou cried.

"No, you won't." Kanji told him. "I play the spell card Woven Gift."


Woven Gift

Quick-Play Spell Card

Target 1 monster you control, and 1 "Woven" monster in the graveyard. The targeted monster gains 100 ATK x the targeted monster's level.


"This spell targets Rokuten Maoh, and he gains 100 attack points for each level of a Woven monster in the graveyard."

Rokuten Maoh: (ATK: 3600 + (100 * 3) = 3900)

Taiyou widen his eyes in horror stepping back, "N-No! No! I can't lose to a Slifer Slacker!"

"Rokuten Maoh, end this with Ziodyne!" Kanji declared as a bolt of lightning struck Tyrant Dragon.

The dragon roared in agony when struck as it landed in front of a shell-shocked Taiyou who knelled as his dragon slowly dissolved.


Kanji: 1100

Taiyou: 0000

Kanji wins the duel!


Kanji just stared at him briefly before turning to walk off.

Then the crowd started cheering for him as Jaden grinned, "Way to play Kanji!"

"Impossible!" Dr. Crowler protested. "Not with all the rare cards I gave Chazz, and Taiyou this can't be!"

"Rare cards? What are you talking about?"

Dr. Crowler yelped having forgotten Sheppard, Banner, and Yuzu was with him before saying walking off, "N-Nothing I have to go grade some tests."

The three grown-ups chuckled at Dr. Crowler's misfortune.

"Kanji-kun performed wonderfully." Naoto smiled.

"Yes... And against Tyrant Dragon, Mirror Force, and Lord of D. combined had me worried." Alexis smiled.

Chie, Yukiko, and Rise all smiled.

"Alright students. Hope you enjoyed those two shows made my Jaden, Chazz, Kanji, and Taiyou!" Yuzu smiled in the microphone, "Never before has a Slifer dueled an Obelisk twice in this Academy's history, and we are proud that Jaden, and Kanji will be ranked to Ra Yellow!"

The two of them froze hearing that.

"Wait a... are you serious?" Kanji asked in shock.

"Remember what Banner told you, and Yu before Kanji?" Bastion asked him. "These field tests are for an advance in rank."

Kanji looked at him in shock before swallowing nervously. "That... thank you very much."

"Well then allow me to be the first to welcome you two to the Ra Dorm." Bastion smiled to them.

Jaden and Kanji both smiled back shaking his hand.


Later at the Slifer Red Dorm...

"Ah. It's gonna be lonely here without Jaden, and Kanji around." Syrus sighed dejected to Chumley, Yu, and Teddie.

As if on cue the door opened revealing Jaden.

"Hey guys!" Jaden grinned to them.

"Jaden-san?" Teddie asked surprised. "What are you doing here?"

"Well first is to say congrats for passing your field exams. And hello..." Jaden grinned, "I live here!"

"Just couldn't stay away?" Yu guessed with a chuckle.

"Ah Ra Yellow might have clean sheets, cockroach free territory, and best food but without you, Teddie, and Sy I wouldn't be home!" Jaden grinned, "Kanji is settling down in the Yellow Dorm with Yosuke, and Bastion though."

Yu nodded before closing his eyes.


Ulrich362: Well there we go, the Velvet Room has returned and Kanji's promoted to Ra Yellow.

bopdog111: Though Igor had warned Yu about the Shadows growing in strength.

Ulrich362: True, then again whatever's going on did get Mitsuru Kirijo's attention so it definitely is something big. Something that the Investigation Team will begin to discover while the others face their own problems.

bopdog111: And one of them next chapter is the arrival of a Shadow Duelist hired by Dr. Crowler to scare Jaden off.

Ulrich362: Will that work, or will this plan fail too? We'll have to wait and see. See you in the next chapter.

bopdog111: Be sure to review!
