A/N: Normally I wouldn't put an Authors note at the beginning of a chapter when I first start writing it, but I would like to give a HUGE Thank You to Zackthefletchling for helping me to realize that I need to just stick with everything and finish things, so thank you. Also, to Higuchimon, I'm pretty sure you're flaming, whether on accident or not, I still value your opinion, and the main reason why I changed from Jaden is actually because Higuchimon did bring up a good point about him. Anyways, I ramble, so here's the story, hope you enjoy!

The School Year Begins

"Oh, hey!" A voice called from the woods, "Is this the Slifer dorm?" A guy with bright blue eyes and spiky blonde hair ran up to the building, he was wearing the Slifer uniform and seemed happy.

"It is, did you get lost?" Drake called, with a mischievous glint in his eye.

"Drake..." Aster warned the second year.

"Alright, alright, I'll behave." He said, "For now..." He muttered under his breath.

"Yeah, this is the Red dorm, who are you?" I called to the stranger."I'm Shane, Shane Jackson, and I'm here to get my room." Shane said as he walked up to us.

"Almost all the rooms are full, the only rooms that aren't full have girls in them." Aster said, he put his hand on his chin, "Well, Rick, Drake, you guys have enough room for one more person in your room, right?" He turned to us.

"We do have that Futon, it folds out into a bed." I said.

"Yeah, we'd be happy to have another guy in there." Drake said with a warm smile.

"Cool, so which one of you wants to duel me first?" Shane said suddenly.

"Duel? Right now?" I asked, "Don't you want to get settled in first?"

"I'll get settled in when you duel me." Shane said with a smirk.

"Alright then, but be prepared to lose." I said with a large grin.

"I could say the same to you."

Shane both drew 5 cards and activated our duel disks, "DUEL!"

Rick: 4000
Shane: 4000

"I'll go first." Shane said as he drew his sixth card. "Alright, I summon a monster in face-down defense position, and play a facedown, now I end my turn."

"How many duels are we going to have today?" Luna asked as the two cards appeared on Shane's field. "I love dueling as much as the next gal, but this is getting ridiculous."

"My turn, I draw." I said as I drew a card, I glanced at it, 'Perfect, Ally of Justice Searcher, the only reason he would play a card face-down in defense mode on the very first turn is if it has a flip effect, with this card, I can stop that effect.' I thought, "I summon my Ally of Justice Searcher in attack-mode, now I activate it's ability, by discarding a card from my hand, I can flip your face-down monster into face-up attack position." I said as a green car-like monster appeared on my field, I sent one card to my graveyard and three eyes opened on the car, they looked at the face-down monster and a beam shot out, revealing Ryko Lightsworn Hunter, and changing the small dog into attack mode. "A Lightsworn Deck? Sweet, looks like I'mma win this." I said cockily.

"You forgot about Ryko's effect, when it's flipped face-up, I get to destroy a monster on your side of the field, then I have to send the top three cards from my deck to the graveyard." Shane said smugly.

"You forgot about Searcher's effect, when I flip a monster face-up using his ability, Flip Effects are negated." I said. "Now, Ally of Justice searcher, attack his Ryko with Arrest Warren!" I said as Searcher's eyes flew open again, it sped towards Ryko and shattered it, dealing 1200 points of damage to Shane.

"Argh!"

Rick: 4000
Shane: 2800

"I'll end with a face-down." I said. "Your move."

"Wow, Shane's using a Lightsworn deck against Rick's Ally of Justice deck, Rick's deck is made to annihilate Light monsters, it looks like Shane is in trouble." Benji said, as he watched the duel with everyone else.

"Who knows, maybe he'll pull it off?" Bella said to her cousin.

"We'll see." Benji responded.

"Alright then, my turn." Shane said, "I activate my face-down to summon my Ryko back from the graveyard, I sacrifice him though, so my Glorious Illusion and Ryko are destroyed, but now I can summon Celestia Lightsworn Angel, and because I tributed Ryko, I can destroy your two cards by milling 4 cards." Shane said. "Now Celestia attacks you directly."

"Ugh" I groaned as the beam of light hit me.

Rick: 1700
Shane: 2800

"I end my turn." Shane said.

"Alright, I summon my Ally of Justice Core Destroyer." I said. "Then I end my turn."

"What is Rick Thinking? Shane's monster has way more attack points than it." Drake said as he watched the duel unfold.

"Oh, it may have few attack points, but it makes up for that with it's ability." Benji said, he still remembered that card from his duel, and it's ability to destroy any LIGHT monsters that either attacked it, or it attacked.

"Well, that monster isn't going to save you, because I activate the effect of Skill Successor in my graveyard, by removing it from play, Celestia gains 800 attack points, bringing her attack total to 1900 points more than your monsters. Now Celestia, attack and end this duel." Shane said.

"You fell for my trap." I told him.

"You don't have any face-downs." He replied.

"I don't need trap card for this trap. You see, my Core Destroyer is one of the most powerful monsters in my deck due to it's ability." I told him.

"Ability?" Shane asked, I could see that he knew he had made a mistake.

"Yes, when Core Destroyer does battle with any LIGHT Attributed monsters, those LIGHT Attributed monsters are instantly destroyed, so say goodbye to Celestia." I told him. My Core Destroyer Shot a beam from the orb-like eye that pierced through Celestia, and Celestia shattered. "It really lives up to it's name, doesn't it?" I said.

"Fine, I play a face-down, then summon Jain, Lightsworn Paladin and end my turn." Shane said. "And due to Jain's ability, I discard the top two cards of my deck."

"Alright, It's my turn." I said as I drew the perfect card. "I play Ancient Rules, letting me summon Ally Mind to my field without a sacrifice, now I tune my Core Destroyer to my Ally Mind to Synchro Summon: Ally of Justice Light Gazer." I said as a giant UFO shaped machine appeared on my side of the field, it had thousands of spotlights on it's rim. "Now my Light Gazer's effect activates, it gains 200 Attack Points for every LIGHT Attributed monster in your Graveyard, I count 6, so Light Gazer gains 1200 Attack Points." I said as my monsters spotlights lit up, 6 of them to be exact, and it's attack was raised from 2400 to 3600. "Now I'll have Light Gazer attack Jain, Lightsworn Paladan."

"Argh" Shane Grunted as his paladin was destroyed.

Rick:1700
Shane: 1300

"I activate my trap, Beckoning light, by discarding my hand, I can return an equal number of Light monsters to my hand." Shane said as his Jain was destroyed.

"Fine, I end my turn." I said.

"Then it's my turn, and I'll start off by summoning Lightray Daedalus!" A giant white serpent appeared on the field. "Then I'll play a facedown and summon my Lightray Diabolos, and activate his effect, by banixhing a card in my graveyard, I can look at a facedown, and decide whether to put it on the top or the bottom of it's owners deck, and I choose to put it on the bottom for my facedown." He said, as he said this, Light Gazer's spotlights dimmed, and one went out completely. "Now I play Charge of the Light Brigade, by sending the top three cards of my deck to the graveyard, I can choose one level four or lower Lightsworn monster and add it to my hand, but since my Wulf, Lightsworn Beast was discarded from my deck, he gets summoned." He got a card out from his deck. "Now I play Monster Reincarnation to bring Celestia back to my hand, and I tribute Wulf to summon her, meaning that I can destroy Light Gazer."

"No!" I said as Celestia reappeared on the field, and destroyed Light Gazer.

"Yes, and now I attack you directly with my Lightray Diabolos!" Shane said as his monstrous beast fired a laser of light at me.

"No!" I said.

Rick: 0
Shane: 1300
Winner: Shane

"Whoa, you beat Rick!" Benji said as he walked up to Shane, "That's amazing, especially considering what kind of decks the two of you use."

"Okay, it's getting late, you guys should call it a day, the school year starts tomorrow." Aster said as he walked up to us.

"Alright." I said, me Drake and Shane headed to our room, and I fell asleep almost immediately.

"Hello students, I am Doctor Xiao." A man in his late fourties said to the class, "Today, you'll be learning about the history of dueling." The man was in a blue teachers uniform.

"Dear god, Kill me now." I said, history was my least favorite subject.

"There there," Drake said with fake sympathy, "It'll only be over in three years." He said that with a cheeky grin.

"This is going to be a loooong year." I muttered to myself.

A/N: Yay, finally done, I've introduced Shane, and others will be introduced in the next chapter, which I'm not sure when that's going to come out, but just wait for it.

Please read and Review!
