The three teens walked into Jake's room. The room was like his apartment. There was picture of his father and him meeting Jaden Yuki, him and his dad and his mother in a photo together. And to complete the scene, there was a poster of Yugi and the Dark Magician standing side by side. At the bottom it said: KING OF GAMES!
Jake pulled a box from under his bed. He then grabbed a small deck and handed it to Ace and Nate to see. They flipped through the cards. The saw the following cards:

"Okay, if you have these cards, why don't you use them?" Ace asked.
"Because I know my dad, he didn't give me those to use in a duel, he gave me them to remember him by."
"Okay, I understand." Nate said.
"It's getting late," Nate said looking out the window. "I've got to get some sleep for class tomorrow. Mr. Griffin doesn't like people who are tardy."
"Agree." Ace said. "We'll see you tomorrow."
"Guys," Jake said before they walked out the door, "please don't tell any one about the cards."
"Promise." They both said together.
Jake got settled in his dorm, setting his alarm clock for class the next day. He took a hot shower, and wore a black tank top, and boxers to bed. Jake was fast asleep.
He then woke up in a dream. But to him, it was more like a nightmare. He was right in the middle of a war between duel monsters. On the left of him there were good monsters like the Dark Magician Girl, Magician's Valkyria and many others. On the right however, there were demonic monsters like Dark World monster, and different zombies. The monsters ran full speed at each other, and the war began.
Jake stared amazed and frighten at the same time. What the hell's going on here, he thought to himself, what's the whole purpose of this?
Then a large blue dragon with four pink wings came to him. Thinking the monster was going to blast him, Jake ran as fast as he could. Wait Chosen One, the monster said in a woman's voice. Jake turn to face the creature, but what he finds instead, is the dragon being consumed by seven large monsters.
Jake was ready to vomit, but stopped when one of the creatures spotted him. Jake too notice, and ran like the wind. But he tripped over a rock. He fell to the ground. He forgot he was in bare feet. One of the monsters that were shaped like a monkey picked up Jake. He braced himself for the worst, but in a blink of an eye, he was awakened by his alarm clock.
Jake sat in his bed for a few minutes. Visions of his dream flashing in his head gave him a headache. What a weird dream I had? He said to himself. He put on his washed blazer and another pair of black jeans, and made his way to class putting the dream behind him.
Jake walked in the classroom to find the class in there seats. Nate and Ace saved a seat for Jake, who gladly took it. A conflict was going on in Jake head.
Go ahead Jake they're your friends you can trust them.
No, you can't, you just met them, if you tell them this, and they'll think you're crazy.
Jake sighed, and turned to his friends.
"You've got to believe me on this, but I had a dream that was very disturbing."
"Tell it Jake," Ace said, more interested in what Jake was talking about.
"Well, there was a beautiful dragon, I though she was going to blast me to bits, so I ran. She called me 'chosen one' instead. But the next thing I knew she was being eaten by these Dark monsters. It was nasty; there were seven of those things, one of them even tried to EAT ME!"
Ace leaned back on his chair. "Many of us have freaky dreams every now or then. So don't sweat it too much."
"I guess you're right."
Nate elbowed Jake slightly. "Hey let's mess around with Mr. Griffin." he said, "I got a bunch of paper balls we can throw at him. Are you in or out?"
Jake turned to Ace for approval.
"I'm in." Ace answered Jake's look.
"Then I'm in too."
Jake threw the first one, which had missed Mr. Griffin by mere inches.
"Who ever are throwing things in the classroom, better stop, or they will get a lunch detention." He went back to teaching the class.
"Watch this…"
Nate threw the next one.
"The Pyramid of Light trap card in the only known card that can defeat the God…"
Mr. Griffin was interrupted by a paper ball that had stricken the teacher on the head. He turned with great anger to find Ace ready to fire, Nate balling up another one, and Jake still standing.
Oh crap…
"DETENTION FOR ALL THREE OF YOU!" he yelled, his face now turning red, "I will NOT tolerate such behavior in my classroom, ESPECIALLY for something as foolish as this."
The class burst into sudden laughter, the three slumped in there seats, embarrassed.
"Now you have lunch detention for the next two weeks. Now ask yourselves, 'was that worth a small laugh?'"
The class seemed to settle down to let the man teach. Ace growled at himself. "I can't stay here for lunch, they are giving out Chicken Fingers, and I heard they were good."
"Don't worry dude," Jake assured, "I'll get us out of here."
"How?" Nate asked.
"With a duel."
Ace sat up in his chair. "You can't duel Mr. Griffin!"
"Why not?"
"Because he is a pro. He will smash you in two turns."
"I'll take my chances."
After the bell for lunch rang, the students left to lunch in a cluster. Jake, Ace, and Nate stayed behind to serve detention. Jake sighed, and walked up to Mr. Griffin, who was putting up papers.
"What do you want, delinquent?"
"I want a duel," he demanded, "If I win, we can go to lunch, if I lose, we will clean up the classroom instead of going to lunch."
"Now wait a minute," Nate's voice was heard in the back of the classroom, "there in no freaking way I'm cleaning this grimy ass classroom!"
"You better watch your mouth little boy, before you get I.S.S.!"
Nate said something under his breath and sat back down.
"I'll agree to your offer Jake."
"Alright, let's duel."
Both players armed their duel disks, and took a side of the field. They drew their starting hands, and the duel began.
Jake drew his card.
"To start things off, I summon Kaiser Sea Horse in attack mode."
The creature of the sea came to the field once again. He waved his golden trident at the teacher. His red eye was a sign of defeat to all that faced Jake. (1700/1650)
"I'll end the turn with a face down card."
A face down card appeared behind the sea monster.
Mr. Griffin drew his card.
"First, I activate the Field spell, Mount Olympus!"
The classroom changed once again. The duelist was now surrounded by a pond of water. There was a bunch of clouds, with a lot of mountains in the background, along with a horizon. There was a lot of vegetation, and Jake could see angels floating around.
Nate and Ace weren't in a seat, they were on soft clouds. They were greeted by angels and had a good view of the duel. Ace lay down on the cloud, like as if it was his bed. "Wake up when the duel's over, okay."
"Got it," Nate said.
With that said, Ace was fast asleep.
Meanwhile, at the duel, Jake was surprised by the change of scenery. "This place is very nice."
"Don't grow to like it Jake," Mr. Griffin warned, "Because this will lead your downfall. Next I summon Eros Greek God of Love in attack mode."
To the field came a man with a sexy build and angel wings. He had on light blue jeans and a black and red jacket that wasn't buttoned up to show his abs. He rocked a short hair cut, very similar to Ace's, but it was black. He wore a brown hat and had a pistol that was strapped to his waist. (1600/800)
There was a classical tune that suddenly filled the air. There was a small Cupid like figure that spread pixels over the famed God. He sighed and his strength increased.(1600/800)-(2200/1400)
"Let me guess," Jake said, "thanks to your Mount Olympus, all monster on your side of the field gains points."
"600 points. And now, I'll have Eros attack the Sea Horse with Shot of Love."
Eros pulled out his pistol and shot a huge energy ball from the small gun. This blast was FAR too great for the monster of the sea. Due to the heat, he evaporated instead of turning into pixels. Jake glared at Mr. Griffin as he fell to 7500 points.
"That will end my turn."
Jake drew.
"I summon Spear Cretin in attack mode."
A small gray field with tiny wings and a small spear in his hand, appeared the field chuckling. (500/500)
"And now I reveal my face down card," the hidden card revealed itself slowly, "Soul Exchange!"
"No way…"
"That's right, now I can give up you monster and my monster as a two monster tribute to summon…"
The Spear Cretin and the Greek God Exploded into pixels. However the pixels never went away. Instead the came together to form, a golden dragon. It let out a loud roar as is stomped to the field. (2800/2800)
"…my good friend Felgrand Dragon!"
The monster was so immense and beautiful, even the angels that pass by had stopped to admire the dragon. Mr. Griffin only smiled.
"I'm gonna take a big hit Jake, so give me you all."
"Fine, Go my dragon attack him directly!"
The golden being shot out a yellow ball of light that hit the teacher head on. He panted as he fell to 5200.
"Your move teaches."
Mr. Griffin drew.
"I summon Dionysus Greek God of Wine in attack mode."
A very muscular man with a toga like shirt and sandals came to the field holding a jar of wine. His gray beard matched his hair. He gave Jake a thumbs up and drunk some of his wine.(1500/1300)-(2100/1900)
"And now his ability activates. When his attack points are over 2000, I can take control of one of your monsters until that monster is destroyed or Dionysus himself in destroyed."
"CRAP!"
The dragon was engulfed in a purple aura. Then the dragon spread its wings and flew over to Mr. Griffin's side of the field. It roared in defiance to Jake, its former owner.
Jake prepared himself for the worst.
"Go my monsters. Attack!"
First the god ran forward and uppercut Jake in the chin. He flew back, but caught his balance, falling to 5400. He never had the time to breathe when the Dragon shot its Fury Ray. Jake was now kneeling, plummeting lower to 2600.
"How does it feel to be at the low point of the duel Jake, please tell me."
Jake drew a card. "Not very good teach, not very well."
"I'll set a card in defense mode. End of turn."
A card facing side ways appeared in front of Jake.
Mr. Griffin drew his card. "You've realized I've won Jake."
"Yes sir," Jake said bowing his head.
Nate sat up from his relaxed state. "Jake just lost."
"All right my dragon takes out the defense card."
The dragon launched another ball of holy light at the face down card. Before impact, a jar appeared, the face in the jar screamed, then exploded.
"Yes, you just took out the Morphing Jar. Now we must discard our hands and draw five cards."
Both players did as instructed. "Now I'll have Dionysus attack you directly."
The Greek God launched forward and gave Jake another crushing blow. He held his jaw in pain as he fell to a mere 500 points.
"That will end my turn."
Jake drew. "Dude, you should've gone the other way around, and then I would've lost."
Mr. Griffin shook his head. "I know I was doing something wrong."
"Well, it is too late now, because I activate the spell card Shallow Grave. Now we can select one monster from our graveyards, and special summon it in face down defense mode."
Each player had one card set on there field.
"I will end the turn with two face downs."
Two face down cards appeared in front of Jake.
Mr. Griffin drew.
"This time I won't be so careless, go Dionysus attack the face down card."
The Man once again flew over to strike the hidden card…
"Not so fast you drunk bastard, I activate the trap card, Malevolent Catastrophe!"
There was a strong gust of wind the ripped through the area. The beautiful place known as Mount Olympus was now falling apart. The leaves from the trees was now dying, the angels started to vanish as they passed by. They were back at the classroom. Ace was asleep on four desks lined up to fit his body perfectly. Nate was still sitting in his desk with his arms folded.
The hidden card revealed to be the Darkblaze Dragon. The points of the monster were now doubled because it was special summoned. (2400/2000)
"And since I got rid of your field spell, Dionysus goes back to his original attack points.
The God realized what he was doing, and stopped, but it was too late, the dragon had sent a fire ball hurling his way. The fire incinerated him and left nothing but his jar of wine, which had bounced on the floor three times before bursting into pixels. Mr. Griffin fell to 4700.
The golden dragon shook its head in confusion. It took notice that it was on the wrong side, and flew back to the real owner.
"That's not all, now you lose life points equal to the attack points of the destroyed monster."
The black dragon shot another ball of fire at the teacher. He screamed in pain as he fell lower to 3200.
"Good job Jake," Mr. Griffin said, "not only did you cost me points, but you freed your dragon as well and cost me even more points. Very skilled."
"Thanks, but that doesn't stop my Felgrand Dragon from attacking your face down."
The dragon shot out a ray of light that hit the face down. Eros revealed himself again, but then was gone the next second. "That will end my turn."
Mr. Griffin drew his card.
"I summon Hermes Messenger of the Gods in defense mode."
A boy in his teen years with a blue toga like shirt, golden wings on his feet, an orange cape and a scepter that looks like the symbol they use for the Red Cross program with the snakes wrapped around a stick that has wings on the top appeared on the field kneeling on a card that hovered over the ground. (1000/1000)
"I'll end with a face down card."
Jake drew.
"I activate the face down spell card Giant Trunade."
The new face down card was swept off the field, and was sent back to the owner's hand.
"This is the end; I summon the Decoy Dragon to the field in attack mode."
The small dragon came to the field once again. He gave a toothy smile, showing all his sharp teeth. (300/200)
"Now I give all my monsters to summon Gilford the Lightning!"
The Dragons shatter to call upon the massive warrior from the sky. He struck a pose, and pointed the sword at the small god. (2800/1400)
"And since I gave up three monsters…"
The muscled bound man raised his sword, and concentrated a single bolt of lightning at the boy. He screamed in pain and exploded.
"And for the last part of this combo, I activate the spell card Big Bang Shot."
The warrior was not human anymore. He was a metal being now. The spell card changed every aspect of his body. He went from flesh, to a metal coating. From torn cape, to a metal shield. His helmet was now attached to his face. He rested his sword on his shoulder, waiting for a command.(2800/1400)-(3200/1400)
"Did Ace give you that card?" Mr. Griffin asked.
"No, I had one of my own, it's just that I've never drew it in time."
Nate shook Ace awake. "Dude, you're about to miss the part where Jake wins."
Ace blinked real hard, and then sat up to watch the remaining time left in the duel.
"Now attack him directly with Lightning Slash!"
The metal monster pulled his arm back, and launched the sword at Mr. G. The sword pierced the duelist in the stomach, and then vanished to appear back in the warrior's hand. The duel was over. Mr. Griffin fell to 0.
"Alright!" Jake's friend cheered in the back. Jake held his thumbs up in return.
"Jake," Mr. G started, "you have a sharp mind, and are able to get yourself out of sticky situations. You remind me of Jaden Yuki."
"Really!" Jake yelled really excited by the comment.
"Yeah, now hurry up and go the lunch before all the chicken fingers are gone."
"Okay, hey guys let's…what the…"
Nate and Ace were already gone.
"See you later Mr. G."
"See you tomorrow Jake, son of Yugi Mutou."
Jake caught on to what Mr. G said, but didn't start thinking about it until he got to the lunchroom.
How does he know that? Does he know my dad? DID NATE AND ACE TELL HIM!
Jake Got his lunch and sat with Nate and Ace.
Meanwhile the three men cornered Gary while he was on his way to lunch. He was clearly frustrated, and torn apart by the tragic break-up between him and Alison, and was in no mood for bullying.
"Out of my way!"
One of the men put their hand on Gary's head. In response, Gary shoved his hand away from him.
"You are full of anger," he said, "and want revenge against the Machina duelist. We can make you dream into a reality. If you join us is our brutal quest to rule the world, you will get your revenge. All you have to do is swear your allegiance to the Darkness. Convert yourself to the evil in you heart."
Gary leaned up against the wall he was cornered in with his arms crossed. "I really don't need your stupid group to help me get revenge. Plus, even if I was promised absolute power, no amount of black magic can replace the love I have for Alison. So please step aside, I have to take care of some business."
Gary pushed the robed man from his path. Bad idea. The man caught Gary's arm in an arm lock and slammed him against the wall. Then he stuck a sharp object to his back hard enough to scare him, but not stab him. "Listen here you blue-haired son of a bitch," his voice whispered, but still had a harsh sound to it, "you will come to the darkness, or else I will spill your blood all over the freakin' wall."
"Okay, I'll help you in your fantasy of world domination, just please don't hurt me."
The man released Gary, and they teleported to an unknown place. They were above a portal that glowed different colors. Gary gazed in amazement.
"Now Gary, think of your enemies."
Gary thought for a good minute.
Nathaniel, Alison, YUGI…
Before Gary had the chance to think of anymore, he was kicked in the portal. He screams echoed, throughout the whole dark place.
"Our job is 25% complete."
With that, the trio vanished.
