Chapter 2: Clash of ideals: the land of light makes it's entrance

After a long helicopter ride coupled with Haru's constant snoring, Eiji was ready to get to his dorm and relax. He and his fellow examinees had been given a large brown package as soon as they entered the main campus. Syrus, Bastion, and Haru along with Eiji made their way to the corner of the classroom they had been led to.

"Well gents I say no hard feelings no matter what dorm we each get" Bastion said looking at the other boys

"Right" Eiji and Syrus agreed

Haru looked at him still bleary eyed from his nap, and snorted. The four boys ripped open their packages on the count of three, revealing four blazers, two red, one yellow and one blue.

"Bottom of the barrel" Syrus sighed putting his new slider red blazer on.

"Obelisk eh?" Eiji said somewhat surprised "I was fairly sure I only narrowly passed the written exam"

"looks like Someone has an eye on you" bastion said patting him on the shoulder " I'm in the Ra dorm, So I'll do my best to make sure we top together next semester"

Syrus looked at Haru who had been noticeably silent after seeing his blazer. "Looks like we're rooming together big guy" he laughed punching him playfully.

"I'm not wearing this" Haru growled "it would spoil the look i worked so hard to accomplish"

"Sorry my friend but dress code is mandatory" Bastion pointed out

"Well they will be making an exception in this case" Haru replied cracking his knuckles

"Don't go starting fights on your first day meathead" Eiji sighed "you'll get yourself expelled real quick"

A beam of electricity shot between Eiji and Haru's eyes as they glared at each other, causing their two companions to back away slowly. But before they could start to squabble the sound of the P.A. system chimed overhead.

"WOULD ALL OF THE NEW MEMBERS OF THEIR RESPECTIVE DORMS MAKE THEIR WAY TO THEIR DORM REPRESENTATIVES"

Eiji looked around finding a boy in a blue and white blazer standing in the corner on his phone, seemingly engulfed in whatever was on it. He had blonde short hair with a small swirl in the front, along with a pair of sunglasses perched on the top of his head.

"I think we need to head towards that group over there" Syrus pointed out as he and Haru looked over to see a large circle of red blazers forming around an older green haired boy in a red and white blazer.

Bastion nodded "and I'm with that girl over there". Between the two groups was a brunette in a yellow and white blazer surrounded only by a few other students.

"Let's meet up later after orientation and compare notes" Syrus suggested leaning closer to Eiji "I'll try to keep Haru out of trouble"

Eiji smiled and gave him a nod of thanks. The boys exchanged fist bumps before heading towards their respective groups.

As Eiji approached his representative, the boy looked up from his phone and smiled. "You must be Eiji, I've heard quite a few things"

"nothing bad I hope"

"No quite the opposite actually, you apparently delivered quite the show at the practical exams my friend. The names Leon by the way" the boys shook hands. Leon looked around "We can head out as soon as we get another student, she should be here any time."

"there's only two of us?" Eiji asked surprised

"You'd be surprised how common this is. Usually the only people who get into our dorm from the start are people from powerful families, or people with unique circumstances" Leon explained "You being part of the later group"

"I wonder why Haru didn't make it then"

"You mean the kid who beat Professor Crowler? Probably because the professor doesn't take kindly to losing"

"Oh yay, a teacher who has a superiority complex and a petty streak"

"And is the head of our dorm" Leon added

"shi…" before he could finish he found himself being knocked to the ground by what seemed to be a flying blue blur.

"s-s-sorry" Someone said

He looked up to see a tall bespectacled girl with her knees on his chest. She had shoulder length black hair and deep blue eyes that Haru found himself engulfed in. She blushed and rolled off of him "I didn't see you there, I didn't mean to run into you"

"You must be Sarah" Leon laughed helping her up off the floor, giving Eiji a minute to regain his focus.

"yeah, pleasure to meet you sir" she bowed

"You can call me Leon, sir is a bit to formal for my tastes" Leon told her. He clapped his hands together "alright this seems like all I have to work with today, so let's get this tour on the road. He began walking up the stairs towards the entrance to the classroom Eiji and Sarah following closely behind. " As you probably guessed, you are currently in one of the main buildings classrooms" Leon began to explain "Classes will be Co-ed with the other dorms and will take place at least a couple times a day." as they exited the room he pointed to his left down the hallway. "If you head left out of the classroom you will eventually come to the card shop. Shipments come in monthly and, packs go by a first come first serve basis". He pointed to the right "Down that way is the other classrooms, and the stairs to the Chancellor's office, he operates by an open door policy and enjoys when his students stop in" he looked at the two of them, as if expecting questions but she he found none he continued on. A couple minutes later they exited the front door to the building, and Leon put his sunglasses on. "now as you can see the path splits up ahead. If you go right you'll end up at the slifer dorm and soon after the docks. We won't be going that way however because the two dorms you guys occupy are to the left"

"You said two dorms" Sarah asked "why does Obelisk have two Dorms?"

"One for the one for the girls of course" Leon replied somewhat surprised that the two had finally decided to speak up

"But the other Dorms have only one building" Eiji frowned "do they just split the buildings in half to prevent problems with mingling of the sexes?"

Leon laughed " yeah that's how it works, you'd be surprised the amount of shenanigans that happen do to the close proximity between them"

Sarah blushed at the thought but shook it off. Leon began to monologue about the architecture of the buildings, so Eiji decided this was the perfect opportunity to talk to his female companion.

"so I didn't see you at the entrance exams, did you get one of the scholarships?" He asked

Sarah shook her head "My parents are big in the Art world. I had a unique gift for duel monsters that they picked up on from a young age. They decided to pay my way into here so I could attempt to move into the pro circuit"

"Artists huh?" Eiji nodded "I'm surprised you're not interested in card design instead"

"Unfortunately, being artistic isn't genetic, I can barely draw a square" she smiled "how about you? From What I've heard from the new students whispering your entrance exam was quite the spectacle"

"My friend and I up until a few years ago lived in an orphanage. Then industrial Illusions held an open youth tournament for the children of the city"

"I remember hearing about that a while back" Sarah said "it was quite the spectacle"

"Yeah, Haru and I saw it as an opportunity to get out of our current situation and into a better one" Eiji nodded "So we entered with structure decks that the company provided. We both made it through the rounds with only a calls, and finally we met each other in the finals. For the last match The CEO of Industrial Illusions decided to grace the world with his presence"

"You met Maximillion Pegasus?" she asked wide eyed "that's amazing."

Eiji chuckled and continued his story. "After he introduced the two of us, he decided to stick around and watch. Our duel was long and drawn out but he saw something, let's say unique as we clashed"

"What was that?"

"He told us he saw two projections one of a silver and red giant, and the other of a great lizard clashing. Afterwards he offered to help us hone our talents, in exchange for testing out some cards he was developing. Needless to say we accepted without hesitation"

"Wow your story sure beats mine" she laughed "the top two of a Industrial Illusions tournament are attending with me."

"it's really no big deal, and Haru hates it when people expect more out of him because of it. So if you'd keep it on the down low I'd greatly appreciate it"

"My lips are sealed"

As they finished, they found Leon standing in front of a large blue mansion "Welcome boys and girls to the boys dorm"

Eiji whistled "They didn't skimp on the architecture did they?"

"What do you expect, it's named after the God card Kaiba used in the Battle City Tournament, he's not exactly subtle" Sarah smiled.

"Yeah…."

"careful what you say about the founder, children. Many people here hold him in high regard and would take offense" Leon moved towards the door "How about we get some lunch before we conclude the tour?"

There was an audible growling sound that came from Eiji's stomach. "Well It was a long helicopter ride" Sarah said

"Good I'll show you the best stuff and where to get it" Leon cheered pushing open one of the large double doors "After you my friends"


"So our dorm is essentially a shack." Haru groaned. "I figured since I won against that professor, I would at least have a decent room."

"It could be worse" Syrus pointed out.

"Never say that again, fate has a way of screwing with people who think that."

"Cheer up boys, you can only go up from here." Damian their guide chimed in putting an arm around each of the boy's shoulders.

"You're a little too touchy feely for my tastes" Haru told him pushing away his arm.

"Why are you so negative all the time?" Syrus asked "You're in the most prestigious Duel monsters academy in the world. We have four years to look forward to."

Haru bent down to look the blue haired boy in the eyes, causing Syrus to back up a bit. "You'll find I have quite a bit of issues kiddo it's best to get used to it"

Damian broke from the pack of red jackets and stood in the front, pulling a bag from pants pocket and held it aloft. "Listen up my future dorm mates, I'm about to hand out pairings for rooms. To answer your questions, yes it will be cramped and no you can not change roommates."

"Please don't let me get a room with the squirt" Haru muttered under his breath.

"Please, please, please don't let me end up with the meat head." Syrus prayed

One after another Damian called out three names and the students went up to their new form rooms. Much to the dismay of Haru and Syrus the likelihood of their pairing was growing.

"Syrus Truesdale and Haru Yoshida, you will be paired with a repeating 1st year"

"Shit" the boys seemed to say simultaneously looking at each other with great displeasure.

"Well come on" Haru groaned as the two headed up the stairs towards the balcony. They had been assigned the room in the middle, and Syrus made his way to the door first knocking three times. There was an audible thud as something fell to the floor followed by a short cry of pain then footsteps. The door opened just enough for its inhabitant to peer out "who are you?"

"Your new roommates apparently" Haru replied putting a hand on the door and pushing it open. The boy behind the door was rather odd looking, with his hair styled in the shape of ears and a large bulbous red nose.

"A Koala?" Syrus exclaimed taking a step back

"I'm not a Koala damn it, I'm Chumley Huffington" he growled clearly irritated by the comment

"Sup" Haru said moving past him and putting his bag at the foot of the bunk clearly not surprised. "You know squirt you shouldn't judge people by their appearances"

"Thank you" Chumley said moving back up to his spot on the top bunk.

"Oh great I got assigned to a dorm room with two weirdos" Syrus complained "Why couldn't I have been in the same dorm with Eiji?"

"If you think he's normal you're in for a rude awakening" Haru laughed sprawling out on the mattress. A look of discomfort quickly engulfed his face as he reached behind his head and pulled out a paper.

"A note?" Syrus asked

Haru opened the paper and scanned the contents his face going from an unamused look to one of pure glee. "It seems someone wants to throw down with me tonight" he crumpled up the paper and threw it to the blue haired boy. Syrus caught it and uncrumpled it.

"Your duel with Professor Crowler was nothing but a fluke, I bet I could beat you with little to no effort. If you're not scared meet me in the main campus arena tonight after dark" He read "from Chazz Princeton"

"Chazz Princeton?" Chumley asked "He's bad news my friend"

"Why is that?" Haru asked interested

"His brothers are big money in the business world, meaning he can afford the best the game has to offer" Chumley explained

"Oh so he's a hot shot that thinks money equals power eh? All the better reason for me to put him in his place"

"So you're going?" Syrus asked

"Damn straight" Haru replied "so that means I better get well rested beforehand, wake me up when it's 8" with that he closed his eyes and began to lightly snore.

"good grief already trouble on the first day" Syrus moaned


"This stuff is delicious" Eiji said finishing off his creme brulee

"I know right?" Sarah nodded "this place has everything."

"Being the top dorm means we can indulge in the finer things the world has to offer" Leon explained already on his third full plate "make sure you keep your grades up though if you want to keep it that way"

"You seem like a really easygoing guy" Eiji observed. "I hope everyone in this dorm is like that"

"I wouldn't expect that much" Leon turned in his chair and nodded towards the far end of the room were three Obelisks sat deep in conversation. The most prominent one had tall spiky hair "For example, that's Chazz Princeton. He's the wannabe Big Man on campus, he thinks that since his brothers are big shots in the business world he has the right to look down on others"

"Sounds like a jerk" Sarah grimaced.

"You can say that again" Eiji agreed watching the black haired Obelisk carefully. Chazz looked up from his group and the two locked gazes, the later giving Eiji a triumphant smirk before getting up from the table and making his way over to them.

"damn it, I was hoping to avoid any conflict the first day" Leon groaned turning back to his food and acting aloof.

"Showing the noobs around campus again? They seem to like giving you the boring jobs Leon " Chazz smirked taking a seat beside him.

"it's not that bad honestly"

Chazz looked at Eiji and Sarah with a grin "hello I'm Chazz Princeton the pleasures all yours I'm sure"

"nice to meet you I guess?" Sarah replied

Eiji looked at him coldly.

"Not a talker eh?" Chazz said looking him up and down " If I recall correctly your friends with that no good slacker that through some fluke beat professor Crowler"

"A fluke, how do you figure?" Eiji questioned

"Well it's the only way a nobody like that slacker could even hope to defeat one of the best duelists in the academy."

"That's quite the assumption" Eiji said bridging his fingers together in front of his face "I hope you have a way to back it up"

"As a matter of fact I do, I intend to beat down your friend tonight in a one on one duel in the arena to prove that he's not as good as he seems"

"The arena is off limits to students after 8" Leon informed him "your be breaking the rules"

"What's the problem with breaking the rules if we get rid of some unneeded baggage for this academy"

Eiji's fist clenched but was quickly covered by Sarah's palm. He looked at her and she gave him a look, telling him it wasn't worth it.

"You guys can come if you want" Chazz shrugged "it doesn't matter to me". He looked at Leon "and don't go squealing to the teachers on me, or i'll make sure your dreams of the pro leagues never come true" he got up gave the three a two fingered salute and walked back over to his table.

"That guy makes my blood boil" Eiji growled

"This is rather troublesome" Leon mused rubbing the bridge of his nose out of stress.

"He's rather full of himself that's for sure" Sarah nodded "from what you've told me about Haru I think he can bring him down a peg"

"Well now that we have something to look forward to tonight, perhaps we should get you to your rooms so you can get your stuff in order beforehand" Leon suggested. Sarah and Eiji nodded in agreement. "Alright let's go" he said heading towards the cafeteria doors.

Later that night Haru found himself walking through the main campus building with Syrus in tow. "Why did you decide to come again?" he asked.

"To keep you out of trouble. Someone has to be the responsible one around here" Syrus replied

"It's just a freaking duel, you're acting like I'm planning on robbing the place or something"

He said turning the corner to find the light on in the arena ahead. "Looks like the Prince decided to show up ahead of schedule." As the two walked in Haru noticed Chazz standing to his left atop the arena dueling field, behind him was a heavyset Obelisk boy and another with glasses.

"Glad you decided to show up slacker" Chazz sneered, noticing his adversary as he entered.

"I'm never one to back down from a challenge" Haru returned " I'm just surprised it took so little time"

"Do you know why I challenged you?" the black haired boy asked.

"Does it matter?"

"It does actually"

"So I assume you're going to tell me then" Haru sighed

"Damn straight slacker, I'm here because I refuse to believe that someone like you could beat Professor Crowler"

"Listen, are we going to duel or not? Talk is cheap in my opinion" Haru smirked "So are you all talk and no bite little doggy?"

Chazz scowled. "Fine let's get to it then"

"Wait" a voice interjected from behind Haru "I'll be your opponent". Emerging from the dark hallway behind him came Eiji with two fellow Obelisk's in tow.

"Always the buzzkill, aren't you Eiji?" Haru complained. "He challenged me not you so don't interfere"

Eiji moved past Haru flashing him a smirk as he made his way up to the platform. "No can do big guy, and I have had a disagreement of sorts thatch wish to settle"

"So you took offense to the comments I made earlier?" Chazz asked "fine I could use a warm up before the main course, we will truly determine if you belong in the same dorm as me"

"Well this has turned into a major disappointment" Haru huffed falling back onto one of the bleachers "You better not lose Eiji, you're only allowed to lose to me!"

"Those two have quite the interesting dynamic" Leon mused

"Probably all those years they spent together" Sarah nodded "they're kinda like siblings in a way"

"I don't see how Eiji is anything like that idiot" Syrus pouted

"Show him who's boss Chazz!" the heavyset Obelisk cheered

"Show them your skill!" the Obelisk with glasses added.

Eiji attached his duel disk to his arm and Chazz did the same. "Time to take out the trash" the Obelisk smirked.

"Don't get ahead of yourself" Eiji retorted

DUEL!

C:4000

E:4000

"The first turn's mine." Chazz declared drawing his first card "I summon Reborn Zombie in defense position" in a flash of light a decaying corpse with long grey hair covered in tattered grey sheets appeared before taking a knee.

Reborn zombie (1000/1600)

"Then I'll set a card and pass my turn. It's your move" Chazz concluded.

"Then I'll draw" Eiji nodded drawing his first card "I activate Terraforming from my hand, allowing me to search my deck for a field spell". Pulling his deck from the card slot he fanned out the cards, selected one of them and put the rest back. "I choose Ultra Base: Science Patrol HQ and activate it."

The arenas surroundings began to change as a large silver building complete with a landing pad and observation tower. On the observation tower was the symbol of a star atop a triangle.

"Ooh seems super high tech." Syrus said impressed.

"Meh, my monsters destroy buildings like this while their sleeping" Haru yawned.

"Ultra Base: Science Patrol HQ activates! Allowing me to add 1 level 4 or lower Ultra Vessel monster from deck to my hand once per turn. He fanned out his deck again before withdrawing a level 3 monster. "Come forth Ultra Vessel Shin Hayata." Appearing before him was a man dressed in an orange jumpsuit with black boots and a white collar. On the right lapel was the star symbol that decorated the base.

Ultra Vessel Shin Hayata (1500/1500)

"Hayata's ability allows me to look at your set card, go for it Hayata!" he commanded. Pulling out a blaster Hayata took aim at Chazz's set card before letting loose a beam of energy causing the card to flip face up.

"So you set Token Feastevil" Eiji nodded "a good card if you were dueling Haru and not me."

"You clever bastard!" Haru exclaimed "You would have gotten me real good with that."

"I'm confused, what does that trap do?" Syrus asked

Sarah cleared her throat "It would have destroyed Haru's tokens when he special summoned one and inflicted 300 damage for each one"

"Couldn't have said it better myself" Leon nodded

Syrus began counting on his fingers "So not only would Haru have been down tributes for his monsters he would have taken at least 600 damage"

"Right. Looks like the Prince came prepared" Haru grinned "this gets me fired up"

"Anyway" Eiji said returning attention back to his turn " I'll end my turn with one face down, it's your move"

"Why did he summon a weaker monster and leave it defenseless? Now Chazz can tribute summon something and run over it" Sarah questioned

"It's how his deck works" Syrus explained "without giving to much away something happens when Ultra Vessels get destroyed."

"Then it's my turn" Chazz declared drawing another card. "I tribute Reborn Zombie to summon Mefist the Infernal General". With a puff of smoke the silver haired zombie disappeared now replaced by a black knight atop a horned steed. It held a large battle axe in its right gauntlet along with three sharp claws atop the gauntlet

Mefist the Infernal General (1800/1700)

"Battle! Attack his puny science patroller with Underworld Cleave!" Chazz commanded as his monster reared up on its steed and began to charge. Delivering an upward swing the knight cut the man in the orange jumpsuit in half with little effort.

H: 4000- 3700

"and now his second ability activates allowing me to discard one card from your hand, the second from the left will do"

Eiji discarded the designated card, but pointed to the ground in front of him afterwards. "Hayata's ability activates!" Eiji declared "When he's destroyed I can special summon an Ultra Hero monster from my hand and equip him to it."

Eiji began to chant. "From the land of light comes a new hero to fight all that would harm the world, watch as Ultra Hero Ultraman makes his entrance!"

In a flash of light a lone figure reappeared on Eiji's field brandishing a pen like object. With a swish the figure disappeared and in its place stood a silver and red giant with golden eyes and a ridge on his head and going down his back, and on its chest was a bright blue light. It let out a triumphant "Cha!" as it took its fighting stance.

Ultra Hero Ultraman 2200/2000

"so Ultra Vessels are union monsters?" Sarah asked

"that's the way Eiji explained it to me on the chopper" Syrus nodded

"That names kinda redundant if you ask me" Haru yawned

"Quiet you" Syrus said slapping him over the head with a newspaper he pulled from nowhere.

"Ultra Hero? Never heard of them." Chazz shrugged "Doesn't looks too powerful to me."

"I assure you he's plenty powerful" Eiji retorted.

"I'll set a card and pass my turn."

"And now it's time for me to put his power to use" the Ultra Hero duelist declared drawing his next card. "Time to battle! Ultraman attacks you directly GO! Ultra Slash!"

"You must be dumber than you look, I still have a monster on the field to defend me so you can't attack directly" Chazz sneered.

"But you're wrong about that, I activated his effect to halve his attack and go in for the direct hit."

The silver giant moved his left hand in a circular motion creating a buzzsaw of pure energy that he then flung at Chazz.

C: 4000-2900

"But that's not all. When Ultraman is equipped with a Ultra Vessel monster he can destroy one monster on the field after he deals direct damage. Specium Ray that sucker!" he continued as the Ultra crossed his arms in the shape of a plus sign, shooting a beam of energy from his vertical hand and destroying Chazz's monster.

"I activate the trap card Chthonian Blast!" Chazz declared as his trap card flipped face up revealing an explosion of rocks. "When a face up monster I control is destroyed and sent to the graveyard I can destroy your lowest attack monster, then we both take damage equal to half its attack!"

A plume of fire shot forth from the trap card and engulfed ultraman and Eiji.

C: 2900- 1800

H: 3700- 2600

"He inflicted damage to himself?" Sarah asked somewhat shocked "What does he stand to gain from that?"

"It's all to get Eiji s monster off the field before his next turn." Leon explained "Rather clever if you think about it."

"And now that your monsters gone I can finish you off next turn" The Obelisk laughed.

"You would think," Eiji replied as the smoke cleared "but I would check again."

To Chazz's surprise the large silver Alien stood undamaged from his trap with a triumphant "Cha!".

"But it shouldn't have been able to survive that!"

"But it did through the effect of Ultra Vessel Hayata. It can negate the destruction of an Ultra Hero by destroying itself while it's equipped. Unfortunately when an ultra hero doesn't have a vessel equipped to it, it's shuffled back into the deck during the current end phase.". The buzzer on the giant's chest began to beep and flash red.

"So it really doesn't matter that it was saved from death" Chazz laughed "What a terrible drawback"

"Power comes at a price," Eiji shrugged "I'll have to cope for now. I end my turn". As he inserted Ultraman back into his deck the giant of light flew upward and out of sight.

"I'll start mine then. I activate the spell monster reborn allowing me to revive Mefist the infernal General!" as he said this the black knight reappeared in a puff of smoke.

Mefist the infernal General (1800/1700)

"And I'll equip him with the Axe of fools," he continued "giving him a 1000 point power boost." a long silver axe appeared in the knights right hand and imbued its user with a red aura.

Mefist the Infernal General (1800- 2800)

"Chazz is going for the finishing blow" Syrus exclaimed "I guess it's over."

"I wouldn't be so sure." Haru told him "He's been sitting on that card in his back row since his first turn."

"Go and deal the final Blow Mefist! Foolish Underworld Cleave!" Chazz commanded as the black knight charged yet again this time at Eiji.

"Not so fast I activate the trap Half or Nothing!" Eiji declared as his trapped flipped face up. The field darkened as a yellow creature in red and blue robes appeared wielding a woodcutter's axe and a golden axe.

"Now you get to choose if you want to half your monster's attack or end the battle phase."

"I choose to half my monsters attack" Chazz growled.

Mefist the Infernal General (2800- 1400)

The armored fiend continued it's dash towards Eiji slicing him with its new axe before returning to its side if the field.

H:2600- 1200

"Damn you just won't stay down do you?" Chazz said getting frustrated

"Why would I? I have to bring you down a couple pegs" the Ultra duelist replied.

"Whatever, my turns over"

As Eiji drew his next card he heard the sound of footsteps coming down the hall. "Someone's coming" he said looking towards the door.

"Yeah you guys aren't exactly quiet" Someone said emerging from the bleachers behind Syrus and the others. As the person walked into view Leon's eyes lit up in recognition "Alexis?"

"Hello Leon, I see you're letting the new people get in trouble on their first day."

"I didn't have a choice" Leon told her .

Alexis pushed a strand of her long blonde hair behind her ear before putting her hands on he waist. "You all had better get out of here before the faculty catches up with us, who knows what they'll do to you"

"I guess we will have to postpone the conclusion of this duel for another day" Eiji said turning to look at Chazz, only to find nobody.

"He already ran for it" Alexis sighed.

"Well shit what are we waiting for?" Haru asked looking at the approaching flashlight beams that danced across the hallway wall. The group bolted towards the door with Eiji bringing up the rear.


After a few close calls the group found their way to the grounds outside the blue dorm and stopped to catch their breath.

"That was a close one" Leon said catching his breath.

"You can say that again" Sarah nodded collapsing to the ground.

"Thanks for the heads up Alexis" the Kaiju duelist said "without you it might have been too late."

"It's no big deal" the Obelisk girl told him "I'm just disappointed I didn't get to see the conclusion to the duel."

Eiji found himself looking at the card he drew.

"Ultra Hero Zoffy huh?" Haru asked looking over his shoulder "It's a pity he didn't get to make first appearance. We had some good duels between him and Godzilla"

Eiji smirked "That we did my friend"

"Listen," he said putting his arm around his friend "you shouldn't feel the need to defend my honor. I can do that by myself". He punched him lightly on the the shoulder "I appreciate the thought though."

Syrus frowned "This seems incredibly out of character for him, is he ok?"

"Shhh" Sarah said putting a finger to her mouth "You'll ruin the moment."

"I guess" Eiji smiled "I'll let you fight your own battles going forward instead of treating you like my kid brother."

"There you go ruining the moment again" Haru groaned "do you really have to bring our past up every time we have a touching moment. Who wants to hear about that anyway?"

"I do" Leon said

"Me too" Sarah chimed in.

"I wouldn't mind" Alexis agreed.

"I'm just going to go home" Haru sighed as he started walking.

There was a round of laughter before Syrus followed his companion leaving the four Obelisk students by themselves.

"Well gang I call that enough problems for one day" Leon yawned. "I think it's time you and I follow suit and hit the hay Eiji."

Eiji nodded "See you girls tomorrow" as they headed inside their dorm.

"It seems like you befriended quite the interesting group" Alexis observed.

Sarah laughed at that " want to walk home together?"

"why not?" she agreed

Red: and that's chapter 2. Thanks for all the support on chapter 1 we really appreciate it. I'd like to take some time to address some questions asked in the comments after every chapter to show that we do indeed read them. So without further ado here we go.

Q: Will Haru use Kaiju outside of the Toho monsterverse?

A: I was planning on introducing a character halfway through the first season that would use non Toho Kaiju. I'll do my best to include all of them as soon as I've seen the movies they star in.

Q: Will Eiji use the Kaiju from Ultraman?

A: Eventually Eiji will gain access to the Ultra kaiju that have a more iconic role in the series as a whole. Gomora, Eleking, Red King and ultra sevens capsule monsters are the ones that come to mind at this time. I have plans for Eiji gaining access to the 2013- present ultra heros sometime during season 2.

Q: Will Megazords make an appearance

A: silver and I have determined that we should save Megazords until we have made a decent amount of progress on this story, so look forward to a new character with that kind of deck sometime in season 2

Q: Will we be using elements from the use comics in this story?

A: So far I've only read the first half of rulers of earth but have made plans to finish it as soon as I can

Q: Will Zilla be appearing as well as other characters from the series?

A: Zilla was adopted by Toho into the Kaiju universe during the Movie Godzilla Mothra and King Ghidorah Giant Monsters all out attack (my favorite movie) so I count her as a Toho kaiju and she will appear eventually. As for other characters in the series there will be references to them in Haru's deck but I don't think they will be making character appearances outside of it. This may change sometime in the future but at the moment that's what I'm going with.

Q: Am I aware that there is a Kaiju archetype in the actual game

A:Yes I play the game, and am well aware of the tribute your opponent's monster archetype (wish it was a lot better than it turned out to be)

Before I go I'd like to make a shout out. Haruo Nakajima, Haru's namesake and the first suit actor to play godzilla passed away last Monday August 7th 2017 he was 88. He played the iconic monster in 12 films and portrayed other kaiju that frequently entertained me during my childhood. I'm dedicating this chapter to him and all the amazing work he did for the giant monster genre. We will miss you dearly once again thank you.
