Episode 2 - Welcome to Duel Academy
It's been three days since the entrance exams. It was early in the morning and Timothy Azuregos was at his house and was just about ready to go to the Kaiba Dome where the helicopter will take them to Duel Academy. He was walking in his living room with his luggage which consist of extra clothes like shirts and a pairs of pants along with bathroom accessories, along with a backpack of minor school supplies like pencils, erasers, notebooks, etc. including a box filled with many different cards and his deck in tow and was about to head out the door until he heard a knock at the door. Azuregos opened the door only to see Pegasus standing there. "Hello Azuregos boy, so good to see you. And I must say congratulations on getting into Duel Academy." Pegasus smiled while Azuregos shook his hand. "Thanks Pegasus, so what was with the sudden drop in?" Azuregos questioned.
Pegasus picks up his brief case and walks over to a table in Azuregos' house and places it down and starts to open it. "I just knew that you couldn't go to Duel Academy without a few new cards that complete your deck's style."
Pegasus hands a small container over to Azuregos; he opens it and examines each card inside carefully examining each of the cards inside.

After examining each of the cards Azuregos then notices two cards that have the synchro card design that appear to be blank. "Wow…thanks Pegasus I… I really don't know what to say" Azuregos replied while Pegasus smiled at Azuregos' reaction. "Oh think nothing of it Azuregos boy after all you were marvellous at playing the Blue-Eyes Shining Dragon in your entrance duel, so consider these cards a gift."
Azuregos nods at Pegasus before looking at the cards again, "So just got to ask but what is with the two blank Synchro cards?"
Pegasus picks up his briefcase and starts walking out before replying "Well… I believe the cards will reveal what they are when the time is right." With that Pegasus then leaves Azuregos' house.
Azuregos smiles at how Pegasus thinks he did great at his entrance exam. He then places the cards into his deck to be sorted out later before grabbing his deck and placing it into the deck holder's on his belt, Azuregos then grabs his custom made duel disk along with his luggage and leaves his house.
Soon Azuregos arrives back in front of the Kaiba Dome where all the other students were and boarded the helicopter that was in front of it. As Azuregos climbed on board he noticed that most of the seats were taken and ended up finding a seat next to a girl with brown hair and red eyes who was also wearing a red shirt with a card holder around her neck. "Hi I am Azuregos' just wondering if this seat is taken by any chance," Azuregos asked the girl with a smile on his face. The girl looked up at Azuregos and replied with a smile on her face, "No it's not taken, and it's nice to meet you Azuregos my name is Rita." As Azuregos sits down Rita then comments about Azuregos' entrance exam duel, "That was a really awesome duel you had at the entrance exam, especially having the chance to see what the Blue-Eyes Shining Dragon actually looked like." Azuregos thanks Rita for the praise before he suddenly noticed where the others he met at the entrance exam were located in the helicopter, Bastion was near the front while Syrus was next to Jaden, who was already sleeping even before the helicopter started to leave. After a few hours on the helicopter the captain chose this time to announce to everyone they were near their destination.
"Attention new Academy Duelists. This is your captain speaking. If you look out your window you'll see your new home away from home." Azuregos and most of the students did just that as they saw an island clear in their sights. It was mainly green due to most of the island being forest areas and even saw a dormant volcano. But what stuck out, was the building in the centre of the island. It was silver colour, surrounded by four tan coloured Obelisk like pillars. And there were three dishes in the middle; a blue, yellow and red one in that order going diagonally down. "Next stop, Academy Island! Please fasten your seatbelts and sit in an upright position as we make our landing."
As soon as it landed, the Freshman class immediately went to the gym to get their school equipment, such as their PDA, or Duel Pilots as they call it, and the blazer jackets they'll be wearing. Azuregos, was given a red blazer, which meant that Azuregos was in Slifer Red. Bastion was in Ra Yellow. Azuregos looked to where Jaden and Syrus were, and noticed they were given Red blazers as well, which meant they were also in Slifer Red. He looked to other students and saw that some of them were wearing blue blazers, but it had coat tails on the bottom, indicating they were in Obelisk Blue. Azuregos was then offered the Duel Academy issued Duel Disk which turned down showing them that he already had a custom duel disk that was allowed to be used in school before attaching it to his left arm. After about half an hour getting that settled, Azuregos, who is now wearing his new red blazer unbuttoned now showing his black shirt with the White Dragon symbol, and the Freshman class got into what appears to be some kind of college lecture class. In front of them was a large screen and soon enough, a person's face appeared. He was a bald man with a grey beard and looked to be in his late 40's to early 50's and was a coattail blazer like the blue blazers that Azuregos saw, but it was darker red.
'He must be the Chancellor of the Academy.' Azuregos thought.
"Welcome, Elite Duelists." The bald man greeted. "I'm Chancellor Sheppard, the Headmaster of this school. You all used your skills to open the narrow admission gates." Azuregos noticed that Jaden was half asleep on this, which he chuckled at before turning his attention back to the Chancellor speaking. "Please have fun studying in hopes of becoming the future King of Games. Now please, get yourselves settled in at your assigned dorms. I hope you find them quite comfortable; depending on how you ranked of course." He finished with a slight chuckle.
After the speech, Azuregos and the other student's walked out of the school to get to their room assignments. Azuregos was busy checking his Duel Pilot that showed all the personal info that's related to school and where things were located.
"Well, looks like I have a long walk ahead of me, since Slifer Red dorm is down that way near the edge of the island." Azuregos mentioned to himself.
"Wow I am surprised you got placed into Slifer Red." Azuregos turned to see Bastion walking up to him.
"Hey Bastion, well it makes sense since I just managed to pass my theory test in the entrance exams." Azuregos greeted. "So? You're a Ra Yellow congratulations, I am just about to head to my dorm which is down over there somewhere?"
"Yeah that would be right." Bastion answered. The two were walking until they saw Jaden and Syrus sitting on a stone decoration of sorts.
"Hey Bastion, you in red too?" Jaden asked.
"Let's see… yellow buttons, yellow sleeves, nope. I don't think so." Bastion answered.
"Well I am in Slifer Red." Azuregos added.
"Oh… So that's how it works…" Jaden realized looking at his red blazer.
"Are you saying you just figured that out?" Bastion asked incredulously.
"So what? You ever think that maybe I was colour blind?" Jaden glared.
"Actually, no I didn't." Bastion said.
"Are you colour blind?" Bastion asked.
"Nah, but I could've been!" Jaden snickered. "Maybe we'll see you around the dorms then Bastion!" Jaden said to Bastion.
"I doubt that…" Bastion said as he pointed his thumb towards the other side of the island. "Your dorms are over there."
"Yeah, it's going to be one tiring walk so see you later Bastion." Azuregos waved as he, Jaden, and Syrus walked off leaving Bastion to proceed to his dorm.
"What do you think our dorm will look like Jaden?" Syrus questioned.
"I don't know might have a hot tub." Jaden said sarcastically
After a few minutes of walking
"Well I am guess that that is our dorm there." Azuregos points at a building with a red roof.
"This isn't a dorm this is a shack that not even the roaches would want to live at," Syrus replies surprised as Jaden runs past and onto the balcony.
"Oh don't worry Sy this place is perfect for our first year and look how good the view is from here." Jaden says all excited.
Azuregos pulls his PDA out and looks at his message about what room he was in, "Looks like I am at the otherside of the balcony from you guys." Azuregos watches Jaden and Syrus enter their room before proceeding into his own room only to find it empty and most of the room covered in dust except for the bunkbed which looked relatively new.
"umm…hello" Azuregos says only to get no reply. Azuregos then notices a strange box on the ground near the desk.
"Strange… never seen any box like this before?" Azuregos says confused while also glancing around the room.
Azuregos turns around and places the box on the desk and blows the dusk off the box also causing a lot of the dust on the desk to blow off causing Azuregos to cough. After opening a window to get some of the dust out and clear the air, Azuregos then walks back over to the box and looks at the strange symbols that are now visible on the box. He then notices a Dragon Symbol on the base of the box which is identical to the one on his arm, "Ok, now this is freaky."
Azuregos picks the box back up and places it on the top shelf of his cupboard, before he then notices that his entire luggage was there thanks to the staff who dealt with carrying it. Azuregos walked over to the desk in the room and sat down placing his Deck onto the desk and pulling out his box of cards from his luggage. 'Well I guess I can quickly figure out which cards I should keep in this deck.'
After a few minutes Azuregos had sorted out his Deck and also packed all of his stuff away, when he heard a knock at his door. Azuregos opened the door and saw Jaden and Syrus waiting for him.
"You all settled in, I take it?" Jaden asked.
"Yeah, except it looks like I have the room all to myself not to mention the amount of dust that seems to be all over the place." Azuregos answered calmly not looking forward to cleaning the entire room later.
Syrus' mouth just dropped "WHAT!"
Jaden laughs at Syrus' reaction before Syrus starts asking Jaden to stop, "You are damn lucky Azuregos not having to worry about having any roommates."
Azuregos face palms himself before replying "Geez Syrus I don't even know why I got a room with no roommates."
Jaden smiles "Oh well I guess you just got lucky Azuregos, though now that you mention it, I think the reason that you got the room to yourself is probably because they had to give another empty room to two girls."
Azuregos thinks about what Jaden said for a moment before replying, "I guess that makes sense, since my room at first looked like it hadn't been used in many years from the amount of dust on the desk."
Jaden then forms a grin on his face and in an excitable tone says "well I don't know about you guys but I wouldn't mind checking this place out a bit more."
"Sure why not." both Azuregos and Syrus replied
So for the rest of the morning, Azuregos, Syrus and Jaden explored the campus, and they had to admit, it was pretty impressive. They had also been meeting other people too. A few were friendly mostly because they were Slifer's as well, while most of the others not very friendly. Azuregos had heard of stuff about students in Slifer Red normally being discriminated by the upperclassmen, especially when it comes to the Obelisk Blue students. In fact they saw Bastion near his dorm while they explored the Academy. While they walked towards the Academy building Azuregos was looking at the information on his PDA about the different dorms.
He read that the Obelisk Blue dorm is mostly made up of students who have connections and are rich. Luxurious interior design, high–quality rooming, and finer food are offered. As for the Ra Yellow dorm, they were the ones with the second best qualities. This would explain that the dorm was still close enough to the Academy building. Then there was the Slifer Red dorm, where students are categorised as being the weakest duelists among the dorms, and the room quality is only as good as having an apartment complex. They are meant to have very weak decks and poor strategies which normally is why most of them lose most of the time. According to the information it says that most students from this dorm have never won a duel at all and they normally drop out. Azuregos was a little disgusted by this social discrimination the school has especially since he is in Slifer Red, but he's going to have to bear with it during his four years here, and during those years, he'll prove to everyone that dorm status doesn't mean anything.
Putting his PDA back into his pocket Azuregos follows Jaden & Syrus into the Academy. They continued to walk around until they noticed something up ahead. They entered the area and saw a large duel arena. Jaden and Syrus walked further in while Azuregos stood near the entrance of the duel arena looking at the place in awe. Then he saw Jaden and Syrus getting smack talked by the three male Obelisk Blue students who were there at the time. "Oh just great, it's that guy from the entrance exam…" Azuregos said with a worried look on his face.
"I guess I better haul them out of there before some trouble happens." Azuregos thought to himself.
He walked inside the arena, and the Obelisk Blue student wearing glasses saw him.
"Hey, it's that kid with those Blue-Eyes cards." The boy with the glasses said recognizing Azuregos from the entrance exam. "Yeah Chazz, that's the kid who defeated that rare card to win against that proctor!"
"Huh?" Jaden and Syrus turned around simultaneously and saw Azuregos walk up behind them.
"Is it now?" the black haired kid, presumably named Chazz smirked as he turned to see Azuregos. "Well, it looks like he's a Slifer Slacker just like these two."
"Honestly I could care less what you Obelisk Blue's think about us Slifer's since money doesn't always win you duels." Azuregos scoffed.
"What did you say?!" a bulkier Obelisk Blue student growled as Chazz looked like he was about to blow a gasket.
"Ouch!" Jaden laughed. Not even a scathing glare from Chazz seemed to be able to crush his amusement.
"Do you even know who you're talking to?" the glasses kid frowned. "That's Chazz Princeton! He made the top of the class at duelist prep school! People say he's got what it takes to become the next King of Games!"
"Impossible…" Jaden scoffed crossing his arms with a look of indifference on his face.
"What?" Chazz growled at Jaden.
"I said impossible because that's gonna be me!" Jaden grinned pointing his thumb at himself.
"And you're a first year as well am I right?" Azuregos asked.
"The best there is!"
"Then, you're just the same as all of us, Chazz." Azuregos shrugged.
"You'd better watch your mouth, you Slifer Slacker!" the bulkier Obelisk threatened.
"Or what?" Azuregos asked, "Just because you Obelisks got higher status now, doesn't mean you all could be equal or actually be beneath me or anyone else in an actual duel."
"Then let's prove it right now." Chazz challenged. "You and me here now, and I still plan on showing you Slifer Slacker that I'm the best." Chazz points at Azuregos.
"What's going on here?" A voice called. They all turned to see another two Obelisk students walking towards them. It was a female Obelisk student though and another whom Chazz instantly recognised.
"Who's are they?" Syrus wondered.
"Uh… I have no idea Syrus." Azuregos shrugged.
"What do you want Alexis and Tyson?" Chazz asked in surprise.
"Chazz, you need to stop insulting the other houses, your making our house look bad." Alexis says with her arms crossed and glaring at Chazz
"Plus Chazz trying to pick a fight with someone who has a powerful deck is only asking for you to get embarrassed." Tyson says with a smirk on his face
Chazz scoffed before turning back to Azuregos. "Fine you are off the hook Slacker, but don't cross me again else you will be in a world of pain the Chazz Princeton style."
With that Chazz and his two friends leave the arena while Alexis and Tyson both walk over to Azuregos, Jaden and Syrus.
"Sorry about that Chazz has a way of thinking that any people not in the higher houses are weaklings." Alexis apologizes
"Thanks but I would have been fine, I actually was eager to duel him." Azuregos replies calmly, while crossing his arms.
"Yeah I could see that, and I know you probably would have won especially after seeing your duel." Tyson complimented
"Well I couldn't blame you either for wanting to duel him, but I have to agree with Tyson especially after how you summoned that Blue-Eyes Shining Dragon in your entrance exam." Alexis replied with a smile, "Oh, by the way you guys might want to hurry back to your dorms for the Welcome Dinner."
Jaden runs out of the arena quickly not wanting to miss the Welcome Dinner, with Syrus following behind. "Well they must really want to get there on time, anyway cya." Azuregos says before he starts walking off. "Hey wait just got to ask, what's your name?" Alexis asks, Azuregos stops and turns around "It's Timothy Azuregos, but most people tend to call me by my last name for some reason, what about the both of you." Alexis smiles "It's Alexis Rhodes." Tyson grins and points to himself "And I am Tyson Mercer and don't forget it."
"Tyson Mercer and Alexis Rhodes ok got it anyway cya both around." Azuregos then turns around and starts running for the Slifer Dorm, while Alexis and Tyson walks off towards their own respective Dorms.
Later that evening, all the welcoming dinners were starting. The Obelisk Blue dorms dinner was basically a fancy party, with gourmet food, punch bowls and classical music played by musicians in the background. In the Ra yellow dorm, it was almost as fancy as the Obelisk Blue's, but they still had great food you'd find at restaurants. As for us in the Slifer Red dorm, all we had received was bowl of rice, sardines, some sauces, and a pair of chopsticks. Not to mention that Headmaster of Slifer Red, was a cat. At least till the real Headmaster of Slifer Red showed up who introduced himself as Professor Banner. "Greetings my children I am your headmaster Professor Banner now before we eat I want everyone to say something about themselves." Professor Banner then notices Jaden already eating his food and starts walking over to him.
'Nice job Jaden you are about to cause some trouble again' Azuregos shook his head as Jaden continued to eat while noticing Rita who was sitting at the table next to Jaden's table was struggling to stop herself from laughing. Jaden then looks up and notices Professor Banner standing in front of him. "Well since some of us can't hold our stomachs in, let's eat." Professor Banner exclaims before everyone starts to eat their food.
After the Welcome Dinner, Azuregos was in his dorm room lying down on the top bunk after managing to finally clear all the dust out of his room. 'Well looks like today turned out alright to bad I didn't get to versus Chazz.' Azuregos thought to himself, all the while looking through his deck and staring at the two blank synchro cards. 'What are you both meant to be?'
An hour later
'Well I guess I might as well get some sleep.' And he was about to go to sleep until he heard a door further down the balcony close.
'Huh' Azuregos thought as he looked to the window and saw Jaden and Syrus running towards the Academy. "What the? What's Jaden and Syrus doing going to the academy this late? It's past curfew."
"Guess I better make sure they don't cause trouble" Azuregos sighed; he then climbed down from the top bunk making sure not slip before proceeding outside and following Jaden and Syrus to figure out what they're up to. He was about halfway there until…
"You shouldn't be out here this late." A voice called out, making Azuregos jump before turning around.
"Oh, hey Alexis. What are you doing here?" He said, trying to shake off the shock.
"I should ask you the same thing." She said.
"Hey, I was trying to find out why Jaden and Syrus were heading to the Academy at this time of the night, when you caught me." Azuregos reasoned.
"Why would Jaden sneak out around here?" She wondered.
"That's what I'm trying to find out."
"Alright, we'll find out together. Let's go." Alexis said as she and Azuregos ran to get to Jaden and Syrus.
Inside the Arena, Jaden and Syrus made it inside to find Chazz on one side waiting with his two friends.
"Well well well… you showed up after all, Slacker." Chazz greeted.
"Of course. After that challenge you sent to my DP, no way was I gonna miss this!" He told him as he climbed onto the dueling platform. Syrus took to the sidelines as the two duelists went to their respective ends of the platform.
"Now, we see whether you beating Dr. Crowler was a fluke, or a fact." Chazz said.
"Yeah." Jaden replied. "And we're gonna find out something else too; like which one of us is gonna be the next King of Games."
"Yeah yeah, whatever. Just be sure to get your best card ready to hand over after you lose."
"You too, Chazz. Now get your game on!" Both of their duel disks turned on and they each drew their starting hands.
"DUEL!"
Jaden: 4000
Chazz: 4000
"The best go first!" Chazz said drawing his sixth card. "I summon Chthonian Soldier in ATK mode!" A man in dark armor, wielding a large blade appeared on the field (4) (ATK: 1200/DEF: 1400). "I'll then place one card facedown and end my turn."
"Now it's my go!" Jaden drew his card and looked over his hand, "Ok, first off, I'll summon my Elemental Hero Sparkman in ATK Mode!" A strange looking human dressed in a yellow and blue garb with a curved blue helmet appeared (4) (ATK: 1600/DEF: 1400). "Alright, Sparkman. Now attack Chthonian Soldier with Static Shockwave!" Jaden ordered. The Sparkman jumped into the air with his arm charged with electrical sparks before sending out an electric shockwave from his hand and hit the dark armored monster dead on, destroying it completely in an explosion.
Chazz: 3600
Jaden: 4000
Chazz growled at first, but smirked as he saw Chthonian's curved blade fly straight at Jaden, hitting him in the stomach. In pain, Jaden fell to one knee, holding his gut.
"Whenever Chthonian Soldier is destroyed, you take the same amount of Damage to your Life Points as I did!"
Chazz: 3600
Jaden: 3600
"Okay, that was just a minor setback." Jaden grunted getting back up. "I'll place a facedown and call it a turn." Jaden said placing a reverse card on the field.
"Oh man, Jaden walked right into that one." Syrus said in a nervous tone when he heard someone chuckle. He turned to see Azuregos and Alexis walk into the stadium.
"You worry too much Sy." Azuregos said.
"Azuregos? Alexis?" Syrus said when they walked up to him.
"I thought we'd find you here." Alexis said with her arms crossed. "Looks like Jaden is holding his own against Chazz."
"He is, but Chazz's facedown worries me." Azuregos said while he stared at Chazz's lone facedown. "He's waiting for something."
"Minor?" Chazz scoffed and started his turn. "After this turn, you're gonna have a major setback! I play the Trap Card Call of the Haunted in order to bring back Chthonian Soldier!" The dark knight reappeared on the field with a large battle cry. "Next I play my Reborn Zombie in DEF mode!" A decaying zombie appeared on the field with tattered clothing. (4) (ATK: 1000/DEF: 1600).
"Alright! Time to go bigger!" Jaden drew his next card and smiled. "And I have just the card to do it!"
"Bring it on slacker!"
"It is brought! I activate Polymerization, fusing Avian and Burstinatrix from my hand in order to summon Elemental Hero Flame Wingman!" Everyone watched as Avian and Burstinatrix jumped into the fusion portal as Jaden's ace monster appeared on the field (6) (ATK: 2100/DEF: 1200). "See? Told ya I'd go bigger."
"You know, I was hoping you'd do that." Chazz smirked.
"Why's that?"
"Because that card I put facedown was a Trap that you set off!" Chazz said as his facedown card flipped up. "I play the trap card Chthonian Polymer!"
"What does it do?" Jaden asked.
"I sacrifice my Reborn Zombie in order to take control of your Wingman!" Reborn Zombie was engulfed by dark flames as it surrounded Flame Wingman, pulling him over to Chazz's field, giving him a darker look.
"Not my Wingman." Jaden groaned while he was staring down his best monster.
"That's not good!" Syrus worried.
"Yeah, now Jaden's gonna have to go up against Flame Wingman's super power when he attacks." Azuregos mentioned.
"You know Slacker, you're so predictable. You wouldn't shut up about that Wingman during the exams so I knew you were going to summon him sooner or later."
"Well, since that Wingman was a Special Summon, I can summon another monster during my turn." Jaden looked at his hand and thought, 'Problem is, none of my monsters even come close to Flame Wingman's ATK points.'
'Go ahead Slacker, play a monster.' Chazz thought. 'I haven't forgotten about your Monster's ability.'
Jaden made his decision. "Alright, I play Elemental Hero Clayman in DEF Mode and switch Sparkman to DEF." A large bulky warrior made of clay appeared on the field while Sparkman kneeled down (4) (ATK: 800/DEF: 2000). "There, all done."
"That's your move?" Chazz drew his next card and smirked. "I'll show you what a real move is! I play the Spell Card, Mystical Space Typhoon and destroy your facedown!" A green typhoon destroyed Jaden's facedown card which revealed itself to be Mirror Force.
"Not my Mirror Force too." Jaden whined.
"Now Flame Wingman, attack his Clayman with Skydive Scorcher!" Flame Wingman enveloped himself in orange flames and rammed himself into Clayman, destroying him with little effort. "Let's not forget his ability, since he destroyed a Monster, you take damage equal to the destroyed Monster's ATK points!"
Flame Wingman appeared in front of Jaden and used his dragon arm to send a fire stream at Jaden who fell to his knees.
Chazz: 3600
Jaden: 2400
"I'll set one card facedown and end my turn." Chazz said while a reverse card appeared on the field. Chazz then heard some muffled sounds coming from Jaden. Chazz smirk grew wider. "Aw, what's wrong? You gonna cry?" Chazz got his answer when the 'crying' turned into full blown laughter which threw everyone threw a loop including Chazz. Jaden stood up with a huge grin on his face.
"This is awesome!"
"What?!" Chazz stared at Jaden thinking that the Slacker had just gone insane.
"This is exactly what I came for." Jaden rubbed his nose. "I mean come on; the trash talking, the action, it's incredible!"
"You're insane." Chazz said flatly.
"That's a compliment to me." Jaden drew his next card. "I switch Sparkman into ATK Mode and place one card facedown and end my turn." One reverse card appeared on the field while Sparkman stood upright.
"You truly are insane Slacker." Chazz drew his next card. "I summon another Chthonian Solider in ATK Mode!" Another shadow knight appeared with its curved blade ready. "Now Flame Wingman, attack his Sparkman now!"
"Not so fast there Chazz, I have a Trap!" Jaden revealed his face down which made Chazz's eyes widen.
"M–Mirror Gate!"
"Aw yeah!" Syrus cheered.
"Jaden's still in this!" Alexis smiled.
"Sure is. Mirror Gate's ability allows Jaden to switch one of his Elemental Heroes with the attacking Monster. In this case, Flame Wingman and Sparkman!" Azuregos grinned.
"That's right! Now Sparkman and Wingman switch sides!" Sparkman and Flame Wingman switched duel fields as they clashed in the middle with Wingman overpowering Sparkman, causing a huge explosion.
"NOO!" Chazz screamed as his plan fell apart.
Chazz: 3100
Jaden: 2400
"And just like you said a while ago, let's not forget about my Wingman's ability! You take damage equal to Sparkman's ATK points!" Jaden told Chazz as the residual electricity from Sparkman attacked Chazz, causing him to scream again.
Chazz: 1500
Jaden: 2400
"Yeah! He's in the lead!" Syrus cheered even more.
"At the moment yes, but that can all change with one move." Azuregos added.
"Pure luck!" Chazz started his turn and revealed his facedown. "I play the trap card Chthonian Blast; now since you destroyed one of my Monsters, I can destroy one of your Monsters, and you take Damage equal to half of the destroyed Monster's ATK points!" Dark mist swirled around Flame Wingman and swallowed him whole.
Chazz: 1500
Jaden: 1350
"Now Chthonian Solider, attack his life points directly! Windstorm Slash!" The shadow knight slashed Jaden, making him step back.
Chazz: 1500
Jaden: 150
"Oh man… now he's back in the gutter…" Syrus groaned.
"Now I sacrifice my Chthonian Solider and summon Mefist the Infernal General!" Chthonian Solider disappeared in a black mist as a heavily armored knight with a giant axe appeared on the field on a black horse (5) (ATK: 1800/DEF: 1700).
"Not bad…"
"Not bad?" Chazz smirked. "You're something else ya know that Slacker, acting all confident. But your monsters won't save you now!"
'I know he's wrong… because I know that my monsters and I have a bond.' He drew his next card and smiled slightly. 'Speaking of…'
Alexis turned her head to the entrance of the arena, as a tired and nervous looking Tyson showed up near them.
"What's wrong Tyson?" Azuregos asked quietly.
"You guys might want to get out of here quickly." Tyson says while trying to catch his breath
"What do you mean…" Azuregos asked before Alexis, Tyson and Azuregos both looked back at the entrance and heard footsteps in the distance along with faint talking that sounded a lot like two security guards.
"We got company." Alexis said before she snapped her head back to the two dueling students, "Guys! It's Campus Security! If we get caught here, we're all gonna get seriously busted!"
"What?!" Syrus yelped.
Jaden looked at her, "What? Why? I mean, we're all students here, so why should we worry?" he asked her.
Alexis pulled out her PDA, "The Rules of Duel Academy say that there is no off–hour dueling in any arena! Chazz knows that!" She looked at the other the boy in question whose face was red. "But lemme guess…he didn't tell you?"
"He must have planned this encase he lost the duel." Tyson figured while glaring at the culprit and his friends.
"C'mon Chazz, let's go!" Torimaki said.
"Fine…" Chazz snorted then turned away.
"Hey wait a minute, this duel isn't over!" Jaden protested.
"Jaden seriously it doesn't matter at the moment!" Azuregos says as he walks up the platform and stands next to Jaden.
Chazz hopped off the platform and started walking away with Torimaki and Raizou, "Yeah it is, Slacker. I saw what I needed to see. You're a sorry duelist and you beating Crowler was a fluke…"
"But…"
"Jay! C'mon!" Syrus urged.
"Yeah man, we got to bail like right now." Azuregos added.
"I'm not moving from this spot until I finish my turn!" Jaden defied staying put.
"I don't have time for this, Tyson can you give a hand!" Azuregos said as he and a reluctant Tyson grabbed Jaden and dragged him as Alexis followed by Syrus lead them all out of the arena.
After some time, Alexis and the others made it outside of the main building. She looked to see Jaden who was being pushed out by Azuregos and Tyson while Syrus looked a bit embarrassed by his stubborn friend.
"You sure are stubborn aren't you?" She asked Jaden.
"Only about my dueling." Jaden scowled.
"Anyway, thanks for showing us the back way out, Alexis." Azuregos sighed.
"No problem. I'm just sorry that you didn't get to finish your duel with Chazz, Jaden."
"It's ok. I just picture on how it would've ended anyway…"
Alexis raised an eyebrow at this. "Oh? From my point of view, it could have gone either way."
"Pfft, no way! Not after I drew this." Jaden lifted up the card he had drawn before they bailed out of the area. It was the Monster Reborn spell card. Alexis looked at it, surprised before Tyson suddenly laughed at the outcome
"Damn dude you would have so put Chazz in his place on your very first day had that not been interrupted."
"Wow you are damn lucky, you planed on bring Flame-Winged Man back with that Monster Reborn didn't you." Azuregos chuckled.
"You know it! Catch ya later!" Jaden said while he and Syrus ran back to the Slifer dorm leaving Azuregos, Tyson and Alexis for a moment before Tyson also said he was going, "Well I saw what I wanted to see and I have to admit that you and Jaden are both going to make thinks here more interesting Azuregos. Anyway I guess I'll head back to my dorm now, don't take too long to return to your dorm either Alexis, you know how strict Crowler is with his rules after that speech of his in the dorms."
"Yeah I remember Tyson, also when did you get to the arena" Alexis says a bit annoyed that Tyson was reminding her about what happened earlier that day. Tyson then smiles "Well if you want to know I actually saw you and Azuregos head inside so I followed and just watched from the entrance, before running off for a moment to check and see if there was anyone coming our way, anyway Azuregos make sure Jaden doesn't pull any stupid stunts like that again" he said before leaving Alexis and Azuregos alone.
"So…" Alexis started to speak.
"So… uh… do you want me to walk you back to your dorm?" Azuregos asked. She giggled and he blushed a bit. "I mean… it's not that far away, well it maybe from my dorm but I really don't mind." This caused her to giggle again.
"Thanks, but I can handle myself."
"You sure?"
"Yeah. I'll see you around." With that, Alexis and left while Azuregos watched her leave before he headed back to the Slifer dorm.
Next Episode: Due to Jaden and Azuregos making fun of him, Crowler figures out a way to expel Azuregos and Jaden. He sends two fake love letters to Jaden and to Azuregos but Syrus gets them instead. Syrus goes over and gets capture by the girls. So it's up to Azuregos and Jaden to duel two girls who want to see if they really belong here and if they lose, they get expelled!.
Well it seems I was actually a lot closer to finishing this Chapter's remake than what I originally thought. Anyway as for the new cards that I gave Azuregos, they are fan made cards and there will be more fan made cards since they will be playing a role in the future chapters. As for the two blank Synchro cards they will only get revealed in the Shadow Rider arc.
Anyway again please review and comment about how the story is going, also to answer anyone that is wondering why I am uploading the remade chapters back into the story instead of just deleting this one and naming it something different. Simple reason the story line is basically the same, only difference is that I am actually introducing some characters a bit earlier than what was originally going to do, along with bring the custom cards into play earlier than planned as well.
