Hihi~! Ikky here! SO this is chapter 2 n uhh...yknow what? I will let my partner explain haha.

Hello, this is megaman220X. I am the sole writer of this chapter. The OC of this chapter is a character I made for this story, and I'm having him use a deck that is made just recently. The reason is because this deck doesn't really need to use the extra deck and it seem to fit more into the GX or 5Ds era. Finally, we are doing a bit of a test. You see, we are doing two different ways of telling the story. We want to see which style the readers like to see. So if you like one style over the other, then please tell us. Thank you for reading this and I hope you have fun reading this.


Chapter 2 - Duel of the Elements

In the Ra Yellow Dorm, everything was peaceful and quiet. The sun rose from across the horizon, its light piercing through the blinds and illuminating dorm room. In one of the rooms, the wall was decorated with a poster of the Dark Magician monster card, posing behind his owner, Yugi Muto. On desk, below the poster, stood 3 figurines. A Dark Magician facing the Blue-Eyes White Dragon, with a Red-Eyes Black Dragon posed in the background. The owner of the poster, figurines, and room slept peacefully under the covers as the sunbeams slowly crept its way to the bedside. His hair was black, slightly spiked and cut short. Against his sun-kissed skin, rested a white tee shirt with a large "KC" printed in its center. He rolled over to face the sun, exposing his youthful face to the sunbeam, waking him almost immediately. A small surprised grunt exited his mouth as he retreated from the light and stirred slowly. He rose and began to stretch his limbs as his joints cracked and his muscles woke up.

"Man, I feel stiff today…" He said to himself. He finished stretching and let out a small, satisfied yawn before getting out of bed. Once he had fixed the sheets and the bed, he walked over to his clothing drawer. He began pulling out a shirt, a pair of jeans, fresh socks and his belts. He grabbed the towel from his closet before walking into the bathroom to freshen up. When he exited the bathroom, he was wearing an open ra yellow jacket, a black shirt with the Kaiba Corp logo, blue jeans with a deck belt, and black sneakers.

"Well, time to start the day." He said to himself with confidence.

He walked out of his room and walked straight down to the cafeteria. He grabbed his tray from the table and began to grab food from the veritable smorgasbord before him. Once his tray was full, he walked past the end of the table, quickly snatching up a fork, knife, and some napkins. He looked around the cafeteria, which was full of other Ra Yellow students, searching for an empty table. Almost at once, he found it, happily walking over and taking his seat. He was about to dig in until his eyes catch the sight of Bastion, a student he had met at Orientation. Getting up from his table, he walked over to him, his food held closely at hand.

"Hey. Bastion, right? You got a sec?" He asked him.

"Hm? Oh, Carter. How can I help you today?" Bastion told him.

"I was wondering if you want to duel me today? I would love to see what kind of deck you use." Carter said with a small grin.

"While that would be interesting, I would have to prepare my deck for a duel with you. Unfortunately, there is already a certain pair of students I have to prepare for." He placed his hand on his chin, seemingly entering deep thought. "A King and Queen, respectively, in fact." Bastion said, which confused Carter.

The grin was gone, replaced by the puzzled look on his face. Carter shrugged and responded. "I get it. I think? Don't worry about it, maybe next time." He said before heading back to the table and taking his seat.

'Wonder who I should ask next…' He asked himself before he began eating his breakfast. After finishing his breakfast, he headed to Duel Academy Main Hall. His first class of the day was with Dr. Crowler. His seat was on the third row of the left side of the classroom, next to the stairs.

"Alright, class, today we will be reviewing on the etiquette of dueling. " Crowler announces to the class "Now it is customary for the players to greet each other first. Then before a duel begins the players must decide which one of them shall take the first and second move. The challenger may decide if they want to go either first or second."

At first Carter listened to the lecture, but, soon his mind began to wonder, who he should try to get a duel from. He looked around to see if any student would catch his eye. He knew he could trust his own dueling instinct when choosing an opponent. That is, until, he took notice of a guy in a Slifer Red Jacket, sleeping in class.

'Huh, his hair kind of reminds me of a Kuriboh for some reason…' He thought to himself.

"Mr. Truman."

Looking in the direction of the voice, he saw that the voice belonged to Crowler.

"Yes, sir?" Carter asked, standing up.

"When are you able to conduct your Main Phase 1 and 2?" Crowler asked him.

"You are able to conduct your Main Phase 1 after the Standby Phase and you can only conduct your Main Phase 2 only after you perform your Battle Phase."

"That is correct. Nice to see someone paying attention to my class, unlike a certain Slifer slacker." Crowler said before going back to his lecture.

"Man, look at the Slifer over there." The person next to him said to him.

"Huh?" Carter said.

"You know, the one who is sleeping in class."

"Oh yeah, that guy. What about him?" Carter asked him.

"Huh, you don't know?" The guy asked, surprised at the fact that he didn't know about him.

"Know what? Is he a famous duelist or something?" Carter asked him.

"He was a late examinee who faced off and won against Crowler. And Crowler wasn't using one of the exam decks, but, his personal deck. It's supposed to be extremely powerful."

"Really?" Carter asked, now very interested at this person.

"Now that punk just sleeping like he doesn't have a care in the world. I bet he thinks he scored a free pass since he beat the professor." The student told him in anger. Carter just looks at Baden with an excited look in his eyes.

After this and the next two classes, it became lunchtime. Immediately as soon as Carter got out of the classroom, he starts looking for the Slifer Red student he saw sleeping earlier today.

"Man, that was a great nap!" A male voice exclaimed. Carter turn to see the voice belonged to the same student he was looking for. Next to him is another Slifer Red student with big, poofy, light blue hair, but was considerably smaller than him.

"You know Jay, this is just the second day we've been here. Don't you think that maybe you should try to stay up in class?" The student next to him asked.

"It's all good. Besides it just the first real day of school, nothing big is gonna happen."

"Excuse me!" Carter yelled out to them while running to them. They turn around to face Carter.

"Hey, what's up?" The Slifer Red asked him.

"I want to ask you something." Carter told him.

"Sure, what do you want to know?"

"I heard that you have beaten a teacher here and I want to know if that is true."

"Oh yeah. I dueled Crowler for my entrance exam. That was a great match!" He admitted.

"If that is so, then I would love to duel you! It would be so much fun dueling someone who is strong as you!" Carter asked with eagerness in his voice.

"Wow, I like your spirit! Alright, let's go!" He said with eagerness as well.

"Jaden, are you really sure you want to duel him? He is a Ra Yellow." The other student told him.

"What does that got to do with anything?" Carter asked in confusion.

"W-Well I mean, um…" He start to stutter.

"Syrus, it doesn't matter what form you are in. In a duel, everyone is equal." Jaden told him.

"Yeah, I agree with that philosophy as well." Carter said as well.

"W-well, if you are sure…" Syrus said.

"Ok, where should we have our duel?" Carter asked Jaden.

"How about after school, in front of the Slifer Red dorm. I would duel right now, but I'm starving." Jaden said to him.

"Yes! I'll see you there! I can't wait for our match." Carter said, putting his hand out.

"Me too!" Jaden said, shaking his hand.

"Ok, I'll catch you later!" Carter said before walking away, eager for the duel with him and Jaden.

After school is finished, Carter starts to sprint to the Slifer Red Dorm. In the distance he sees Jaden waiting in front of their dorm with his duel disk ready. Behind him sitting on the stairs is Syrus.

"Hey! Sorry to keep you waiting!" Carter yelled, stopping a few feet away from him.

"It's all good. I'm just glad to see you came. Now, let's start this thing!" Jaden said with a grin as he pulled out his deck from his deck holder on his belt and slid it into the duel disk. His duel disk then activates and went into duel mode.

"You bet!" Carter said as he open his backpack and grab his duel disk before slipping it on. He then grabbed his deck from his deck holder in his jacket and slid it into his duel disk, which activates and go into duel mode as well.

"Duel!" They both said.

Jaden Life Points: 4000

Carter Life Points: 4000

"Good luck, Jaden!" Syrus told him.

"I'll take the first turn!" Carter said before he drew his card. "I'll set a card facedown and summon Elementsaber Aina in defense mode"

As soon as he play that there was a little girl with red hair in pigtails in armor holding up a giant shield with spikes up. Behind her is a large card that was face down.

"Whoa! I've never heard of that card. Where did you get her?" Jaden asked.

"Well, I got it by winning a tournament in my hometown. The tournament was hosted by Industrial Illusions. The winner of tournament would get to have cards made for them, and get a scholarship. I was using a deck that uses all Attributes and they made the cards according to my play style." Carter told him, scratching the back of his head.

"Man that is so sick! You were able to get enrolled here, and get cards specially made for you!" Jaden said with enthusiasm.

"Heh. Anyways, I end my turn."

"All right, time to make my move!" Jaden said, as he drew a card. He looked at his cards. "Sweet! Ok, first I summon Elemental Hero Sparkman onto the field. Next I play the equip spell - Spark Blaster to my Sparkman!"

Then a man appears, dressed in blue and yellow. His helmet was golden and had antennas on sides holding a gun that has plugs that goes out of it into the sockets in his arms.

"What exactly does that card supposed to do? It doesn't seem to raise his attack points." Carter asked.

"Well that is true, it doesn't raise his attack but it gives him an ability. He has three shots to switch the position of a monster he so choose!" Jaden explained.

"Wait! That means-"

"Yep! Your Aina is switching to attack!"

Sparkman points his gun at Aina and fires it. Aina put her shield on her back and stands up.

"Sparkman Attack! Use Static Shockwave!" Jaden told him. Sparkman then shoots electricity from his hand and tries to attack Aina.

"I activate my trap card, Defense Draw! With this card I will take 0 battle damage and I get to draw one card!" Carter told him as the card on the field revealed itself. A thin veil covered Carter as soon the lightning hit Aina. After she was destroyed he drew a card from his deck and added it to his hand.

"Oh man, well at least I destroyed her. I will now have Sparkman use Spark Blaster on himself to put him in defense mode and end my turn." Jaden told him.

Sparkman point the gun on the ground below him and switch to defense mode.

"My turn!" Carter said before drawing a card. "I summon Elementsaber Malo onto the field!"

A shirtless man with dark red hair and tattoos on his arm holding a large axe appears on the field.

"Wow! Another one of those Elementsabers!" Jaden said with a excited look on his face.

"Yep, but that's not all! I activate my own equip spell card, Big Bang Shot. With this my monster gains 400 Attack and can now inflict piercing damage."

"Oh no!"

"Oh yes! Attack Sparkman, Malo!"

With a yell his axe lit itself on fire and jumps and attacks Sparkman. Sparkman then was sliced in half before he disappeared from the field.

Jaden Life Points: 3100

"With that I end my turn." Carter said.

"Alright, my move!" Jaden said before he draw a card from his deck. "Sweet! This is the card I need. I play Polymerization! With this, I can fuse monsters on my field or hand for a fusion summon! I choose Elemental Hero Avian and Burstinatrix from hand to summon Elemental Hero Flame Wingman!"

A man with a mask and covered in a green feathered suit with talons for feet, and a claw on over his right hand, and a woman with black hair and white skin wearing a red unitard, red boots and a golden crown like helmet appeared on the field. A black vortex appears behind them before sucking them both in. As the vortex disappears a monster came out of it. It head is green on the bottom and black on the top, with red eyes and flame like symbols on his forehead. His right arm had a dragon head for a hand, a white wing on his left side of his back, and a red dragon tail.

"OK, he is strong but he has the same Attack Points as my Malo. Are you gonna go for mutual destruction?" Carter asked.

"Well I am going to attack you, but my monster will still be on the field. Especially if I activate this card: Kishido Spirit. This spell allows my monsters to not be destroyed by battle as long it battles a monster with equal Attack Points." Jaden declared.

"What?!"

"Now Flame Wingman, attack with Sky Dive Scorcher!"

Flame Wingman jumps up into the air, then dives down towards Malo. As he is falling, fire cover his body before he strikes down Malo.

"Now his superpower activates. When Flame Wingman destroys a monster, you take damage equal to the Attack Points of that monster." Jaden explained.

Flame Wingman then appears right in front of Carter. His dragon hand is now points at Carter.

"Oh no…" Carter moaned out.

The dragon opens it mouth before flames comes out of it.

"Aaaahhh!" Carter yelled in pain.

Carter Life Points: 1900

"With that I end my turn. Sweet move, huh?" Jaden asked.

"Yeah that was sweet, but now it's time for my comeback!" Carter announces. He draw a card from his deck and looks at it.

"Here I come! First I play Pot of Greed. Now I get to draw two cards from my deck." He proceeds with just that and looks at the card he got. He grins at the cards that he pulled which makes Jaden curious as to what he got. "Now, I send two monster from my hand to the graveyard to Special Summon this monster from my hand. Come forth, Elementsaber Lapauila Mana!"

A lighting bolt struck the field, flashing brightly. A single figure was knelt in the light, holding his sword. As the light faded, he stood, his bright yellow armor shining. The golden accents of his armor simmered as he moved, raising his sword from the ground. His mask covered most of his face, but his eyes looked forward at Jaden, focused and gleaming a crimson red glow.

"Man, that was an impressive light show." Jaden commented.

"Now Lapauila Mana, attack with Lightning Slash!"

Lapauila Mana raise his sword up into the air as lightning hits the blade. With his sword electrified, he does a vertical slash and a wave of concentrated of electricity sliced through Flame Wingman and destroyed him.

Jaden Life Points: 2800

"Ah man, that was my favorite card too…" Jaden complained.

"With that, I will set a card face down and end my turn." Carter told him.

"All right, my move!" Jaden then draws a card from his deck. "All right, I'll take a page out of your book and play Pot of Greed as well!" He then draws two card from his deck to his hand. He then grins at the hand he got. "Sorry Carter, but this is over. I play Monster Reborn! With this I'll bring back my Elemental Hero Flame Wingman! Now to celebrate his we will take this fight to the streets with my field spell, Skyscraper!"

Flame Wingman comes back onto the field and as soon as he came back, large building starts coming out of the ground. As soon as they stop growing out of the ground, the ground became concrete and the sky became nighttime with the moon in full view. Flame Wingman takes to the sky, and stands atop of the largest tower on the field.

"Ok, what does this do? It doesn't seem to affect my monster and it doesn't seem to increase your monster Attack." Carter asked in wonder what exactly Jaden is planning.

"Well that is half right. My monster doesn't gain an immediate Attack boost, but if I were to attack a monster with higher Attack than my Elemental Hero now that is a different story. When it battles it gains a 1000 Attack point boost! Now let me show you!"

As soon as he said that Flame Wingman spread his wings and dives at Lapauila Mana. Soon Lapauila Mana was engulfed by flames.

"Gah!" Carter exclaimed, covering his face from the wind that the impact has made.

Carter Life Points: 1200

"And don't forget about his powers." Jaden reminded him. As soon as he said that Flame Wingman appeared before him and spewed flames on him.

"Aaahhh!" Carter screamed.

Carter Life Points: 0000

"That's game!" Jaden said, pointing his index and middle finger at Carter.

"You did it, Jay!" Syrus said, happy that Jaden won the duel.

"Thanks, Sy. That was a fun match." Jaden told him.

"I agree, that was a great match!" Carter told him. "Thanks for dueling me."

"No problem. I gotta say those Elementsaber were cool, but it seemed like you weren't using them to their fullest extent." Jaden told him.

"That because I wasn't." Carter said to him, scratching his head.

"Huh?" Both Syrus and Jaden said in confusion.

"You remember when I said Industrial Illusion made these cards for me? Well it's taking them awhile to finish making them. I received these cards the day before we got to this school. So this is the first time I used these cards. I was looking for a duel to see how well these cards would go with the deck I am already running. Too bad it didn't go well. I couldn't draw the cards I needed to use them properly. It looks like I need to learn how to use these cards to its full extent." Carter explained.

"Well maybe we can help you. Those Elementsaber cards look really cool! I want to help you to use their full potential!" Jaden told him.

"Really?" Carter asked, surprised at Jaden generosity.

"Sure, I mean that what classmates should do for one another. Right, Syrus?" Jaden asked him.

"Totally! I don't know how much of a help I can be, but I'll try to help as well." Syrus told Carter.

"Thank you so much!" Carter said, bowing his head a little.

"Now how about we spend the rest of the day setting up your deck as much as possible?" Jaden asked Carter.

"Sure, let's do it!" Carter told Jaden. They all walk to the Slifer Red Dorm. Carter was happy at the fact he is getting help with his deck, but most of all he was able to make friends with people on his first day of school.
