What if when Jaune revealed his secret to Pyrrha on the roof that day, she didn't take it as well as we saw? Disowned and treated as a pariah at Beacon, Jaune transfers to Duel Academy, where he becomes the greatest Duelist to ever live! Second only to the likes of Yugi Moto.
RWBY/Yu-Gi-Oh GX
Pairing: Jaune/Mindy
Story Title: Transcendent Emperor Jaune
Chapter Start…
The duel arena was packed with students from every rank in the academy. Resident Slifer Red student, Jaune, was in a duel that was meant to decide his fate. If he won, he'd be allowed to stay and finish his studies at Duel Academy. But if he lost, his former friends and family would drag him back to Remnant.
And after hearing Jaune explain what had happened to him before, the entire student body was behind Jaune in this duel. Even Crowler was rooting for him, and the make up wearing man absolutely despises Jaune's very existence!
Chancellor Sheppard was standing in the middle of the ring with Jaune and Pyrrha on either side of him.
"Attention students of Duel Academy! I thank you all for taking the time to come and watch this life changing duel! On the right side is a young man who needs no introduction! The Blonde Warrior, the Golden Knight, the Emissary of the Purest Light, I give you Jaune of the Slifer Reds!" Sheppard announced, patting Jaune on the back.
Just about everyone in the crowd cheered for the blonde boy. He's done much at Duel Academy that's won the respect of just about every student there, and all of the attention caused Jaune to scratch the back of his head with a slightly embarrassed smile on his face and a small blush. That blush only intensified when several flowers were thrown at him and the crowd began chanting his name.
"Ah, thank you… thank you, very much! Really, you're too kind." Jaune said in embarrassment.
After his prior treatment at Beacon and being disowned by his father, the boy wasn't used to such positive reinforcement.
"And in the left corner stands the challenger! All the way from the far off land of Remnant, we have the Red Spartan, the Champion of Mistral, the Bronze Competitor… Pyrrha Nikos!"
Her introduction was met with less than pleasant results. While the people from Remnant cheered for her, the vast majority of the crowd booed at her. And some even threw random objects like garbage, shoes, bowling balls, horse shoes, pillows… A PILLOW? Really?
"A pillow? Really?" Chazz asked Syrus from their spot in the bleachers.
"It was all I had!" Syrus said in defense.
"Let it go, Chazz. Let's just agree that we all don't like that Pyrrha girl." Jaden said, intervening.
Chazz merely nodded and returned his attention to what might be the quickest Duel in Duel Academy history.
"Now, before we begin the duel, I will explain the rules. The challenger has issued the rule that Jaune is forbidden to use his Egyptian God card in this duel. So he shall for the time being turn that card over to Mr. Pegasus for safe keeping."
As Pegasus stepped up, Jaune fished his Egyptian God out of his deck and held it out to the man.
"Don't worry, Jaune, you'll do just fine against your former friend." Pegasus assured.
"But I have no idea what strategies she might use, how do you know for sure that I can beat her?" Jaune asked.
In response, Pegasus handed Jaune a new card.
"Just replace your God Card with this card and you'll win." Pegasus said.
Jaune took the card and took a look at it, only for his eyes to widen at what he was given. He slipped the card into his deck and held it out to Pyrrha. Pyrrha also held her deck out to Jaune. They quickly shuffled each other's decks and handed them back to each other before walking to their respective corners.
The tension was thick as Jaune and Pyrrha stared each other down. It was clear that neither was willing to let the other win so easily and wanted to win for one reason or another.
Pyrrha wanted to bring Jaune back to Remnant, thinking that he was just being silly about his situation at Beacon when the treatment he received there was well earned. She thought it was stupid of him to transfer to this school just because he faked his entrance papers.
But for Jaune, his reasons were very different.
He's finally in a place where he is wanted. He has real friends, a girlfriend, a home and is getting a great education. Not to mention all of the combat experience he's gotten from his duels against the Shadow Riders and the Knights of Light.
And yet these people just waltz in here and decide to try and take that all away from him?! Unacceptable!
"This is your last chance to back down and come quietly, Jaune. Come back home to Remnant, where you belong!" Pyrrha demanded.
Jaune just scowled at the girl and activated his Duel Disk.
"Forget it, Nikos!"
Ohh, last name. Not good.
"I finally have everything I could ever want here at Duel Academy, and I'm not going to give it up just to inflate your already oversized ego!" Jaune said.
Pyrrha narrowed her eyes and activated her own Duel Disk.
"Don't say that I didn't give you a chance." she growled.
"LET'S DUEL!" they yelled.
*To Be Continued…*
I do plan to turn this one into a real story, but I need to iron out the kinks first. Now I'm gonna go work on some older stories. Hope you all like this one.
