Title: Burn Princess and the Red Dark Magician
Crossover Categories: Cross Ange Rondo + Yu-Gi-Oh! GX
Pairings: Ange x Syrus, Jaden x Alexis
Story Summary: After discovering that she's a Norma, princess Angelise and her mother flee to the Eastern country of Japan in hopes of starting over. Now living in a Land where those who can use Mana and Norma live in peaceful harmony without discrimination or fear of each other, Angelise enrolls in the prestigious Duel Academy. But with a mortal who thinks himself a god after her, can she truly be free? Her fate comes down to just a single card.
AU Differences: Duel Academy is considered a college in this crossover, so the characters ages will be bumped up to fit that scenario. Also, there is a chance that a Duel Academy freshman can be placed in Obelisk Blue at the start of the year, but it's very rare for it to happen. Finally, Crowler is not an antagonist in this crossover. He's just become arrogant in his dueling abilities and needs a little push in the right direction.
Chapter Start: Duel Academy Entrance Exam
Rushing down the street on her way to the Kaiba Dome for her entrance exam, Ange looked at her watch and saw that she still had a good two hours before her dueling exam. Good thing there was an option to take the written portion of the exam in advance, or she'd probably be running way late. Knowing that she has spare time, Ange decided to just go ahead and visit the old game shop that belongs to a friend of the family. The bell chimed as she entered and saw a familiar old man with spiky gray hair under an orange bandana wearing a long sleeve green shirt and a pair of denim overalls.
"Good morning, Mister Moto!" greeted Ange.
"Good morning to you too, Ange! I didn't expect to see you here this early today." the old man known as Mister Moto, or Grandpa Moto to some, greeted in return. "I expected you to have arrived at the Kaiba Dome by now. After all, your final exam for Duel Academy is today."
"Yeah, I know. But I saw that I had ample time before my duel, so I decided to stop by and talk. Maybe do a little window shopping for spellcaster type cards." Ange replied.
Grandpa Moto chuckled at that. Ever since the young blonde saw Yugi win a duel with his Dark Magician, she's been utterly fixated on the card and the many spellcasters in the card game. Not that he minds. Next to Zombie and Fiend duelists, Spellcaster duelists are quite the rarity among the troop due to how tricky the cards can be to use. All things considered, her willingness to learn how to use the cards was a breath of fresh air to the old timer. The only two Spellcaster duelists he knows of are a comatose magician named Arkana and Yugi himself.
"Well, if you need new cards for your deck, I'd say you've come to the right place! I just got in a shipment of cards meant specifically for spellcasters." Grandpa Moto informed.
"Really?" Ange asked, excitement clear in her voice.
"Yes, indeedy! We have cards like the newest monster card, Dark Eradicator Warlock, which can deal a thousand points of damage to your opponent every time a normal spell card is activated. It could be a valuable addition to your deck, I think." Grandpa Moto said.
Ange thought about it as she checked the conditions for summoning the card. It could only be summoned by tributing a Dark Magician. One of the cards that she doesn't have yet. And also the one card that is the key to completing her deck. She's opened pack after pack in her time collecting these cards and building decks, but she's never been able to find the most powerful magician in the entire game.
Still, it might be handy for her to have that card when she finally does get a Dark Magician. Once she does, she'll be able to rebuild her deck to better suit the use of Dark Eradicator Warlock. Well, that settles that debate.
"How much for that one?"
A few minutes later, after making her purchase, Ange walked out of the game shop and back on course to the Kaiba Dome for her Duel Academy entrance exam. Hopefully, she did well enough on her written test to at least end up in Ra Yellow.
Her mother spent some time teaching her about Duel Academy and its ranking system and she had to say, she was quite surprised by how it was modeled. Then again, this is Seto Kaiba we're talking about here. Even if events are not made public, his rivalry with Yugi will last for more than a couple of lifetimes.
Despite The Winged Dragon of Ra being the strongest of the three Egyptian God monsters, it's only the middle ground of Kaiba's ranking system at Duel Academy. The top tier for students to aim for at this school is Obelisk Blue. This particular dormitory is one where most students are unable to get into it as freshman students. Most who do have to either buy their way in, or have gone to a special dueling prep school before applying for Duel Academy. There are some who manage to make it into the Obelisk Blue rank right off the bat, but they are very far and few inbetween. Ange estimates that only about five percent of the Obelisk Blue students who start off there in the first year make it in through skill alone.
As was stated before, the middle ground of the Duel Academy ranks are the Ra Yellow students. Ra Yellow students are neither the best of the best, nor the worst of the worst. They mainly focus on their academics as a way to get through Duel Academy without much fuss, but it doesn't always work out that way. They are, however, glad that they're not in the lowest ranking dorm.
Slifer Red. The lowest ranking dorm and Kaiba's own way of showing that his and Yugi's rivalry is still going strong. Often referred to by others as the 'Slifer Slackers' or the 'Red Dropouts' due to the schoolwork being too difficult for the majority of the students and some having to leave because they can't pay the tuition. Many of the students at Duel Academy didn't want to be in Slifer Red, and Ange couldn't really understand why. She personally loves Slifer the Sky Dragon and thinks the color red is a very nice color.
And she thinks it would be a nice rank to start out in as she works her way up to the top of the ranks to become the greatest Spellcaster Duelist in the world! And one day, she hopes that she and her mother can return to their kingdom and end the hatred between those who use Mana and the Norma that inhabit this world.
A nice dream. But she knows that so long as that false god she's heard so much about, Embryo, remains in charge and at large, her chances of uniting the people of the world are slim to none.
"Ah, I thought I'd run into you here, Ange." said a deep male voice.
The blonde was broken from her thoughts as she noticed a familiar man standing near the clock that stands by the game shop. And in his hand was a total of three cards.
"Yugi! What are you doing here?" Ange greeted.
"I was on my way to visit Joey and the others, but I thought I'd stop by and wish you good luck on your exam. And I think that these cards will come in handy in your upcoming duel. Something just tells me that they belong with you."
Ange accepted the cards and gasped as she saw that they were just the cards she was looking for! Three copies of the Dark Magician! She broke out into a big smile knowing that not only would her deck now be complete, but she could now use her Dark Eradicator Warlock without any problems at all!
"This is such a nice gift, Yugi! Thank you!" she said to the older man.
But when she looked up, she saw that he was gone. Not a trace of him having been there at all! It's like he disappeared into thin air, or something like that! And Ange just HAD to wonder…
"How does he DO that!?"
She'd figure it out later. She quickly slipped her new cards into her deck and began to walk to the Kaiba Dome in a hurry.
After about another half hour of walking, our blonde heroine managed to get to the Kaiba Dome with plenty of time to spare. She gave her name to the receptionist, who easily saw that she took her written test ahead of time, so the blonde haired red eyed girl was allowed to go through with no trouble at all. She was given directions to the Dueling arena and was told to wait until she was called before she took her exam.
Upon arriving, she found that the place was packed with people. Likely the new recruits for Duel Academy. And standing in the field currently, was another applicant and their instructor.
The person being tested is a boy that had black hair with a grey streak in it who had four thousand life points and a Vorse Raider while his opponent had nineteen hundred life points and three monsters each with variable attack and defense points.
"Okay, freshman. Pop quiz time. You have three monsters staring you down and two facedowns. Which of the following do you do? Do you do A) Throw in the towel? B) Attack hoping that I don't activate my facedowns? Or C) Run home to momma?" the tester asked with in a snide tone.
"I chose D) none of the above!" The boy shouted. "Go face down trap! Ring of Destruction!"
As the ring appeared it wrapped itself around the Vorse Raider and detonated all of the frag grenades attached to it, blowing up the Vorse Raider in the process. The tester brought his arm up to shield from the debris as his life points plummeted to zero. The black haired boy smiled as his disk deactivated.
"Congratulations, you have been accepted into Duel Academy." The tester said.
"Thank you." Black hair said.
Up in the stands, three boys were watching the duel and had varying reactions to it. Some were good, but there were some that were just rude and condescending.
"That guy is pretty good, huh Chazz?" a boy with wavy blue hair and glasses asked.
"He's a punk." The person in the middle called Chazz scoffed. "We went to Duel Prep School for the past three years. We're ready for the Academy. These kids don't know what they're getting into. But they'll learn… the hard way. The Chazz Princeton way."
As Ange looked at the guy, her eyes narrowed as she was reminded of those who betrayed her as soon as her heritage as a Norma was revealed. People like the guy up in the stands made her sick!
As if sensing Ange's mental battle and seeing the direction of her gaze, the blue haired boy spoke up.
"That's Chazz, someone who went through Dueling Prep School. He's really good. Possibly the best in the school." He informed in a somewhat timid tone of voice.
"Is that right? Well, we'll just see about that, now won't we?" Ange said in response. "My name is Ange, by the way."
"Syrus Truesdale ." the bluenette replied with a nervous bow.
Ange narrowed her eyes slightly and began to look into the eyes of the shorter young adult, causing him to get a little nervous. It was almost as if this blonde girl was staring right into the depths of his soul, trying to get a read on who he is. Though he can't imagine why. After a few more moments of staring, Ange stopped staring and smiled.
"Yup! I can tell! You've got a great deal of potential as a duelist just waiting to be unleashed!" Ange said.
Huh? You think so?" Syrus asked.
"I know so." Ange replied with a smirk.
And her response drew a shy smile and a blush from Syrus. He'd never really been complimented on his dueling abilities before. And certainly not by a girl as pretty as Ange.
